"When you're working rescue, you'll always run into unique situations," Helper Fire Chief Mike Zamantakis told his city council Thursday. Apologizing for appearing unshaven - "It's been a long day..." - he and Police Chief Trent Anderson reported how they and their teams had begun the day at 4 a.m.
A pickup truck heading north on Main Street veered of the road at the intersection of Janet Street, hit the curb, went airborne, and smashed through the wall of a house on the corner. It was a bedroom wall. Two people were in there. One of them, 24-year-old Megan Clark, was pinned under the front end of the truck with multiple fractures. "It was worse because both tires were flat," Zamantakis said.
The other occupant, 21-year-old Ryan Smith, somehow managed to escape serious injury.
The police and the fire department's Rescue 3 scrambled to the scene. There they saw the mess the truck had made of the bedroom interior. "It's one thing to talk about it, it's something else to see it," Zamantakis said. Clark was conscious and able to tell them she was alive and badly hurt.
But the crew could do nothing to get her out.
That was because the rescuers also smelled the unmistakable odor of natural gas. The runaway truck had snapped a gas pipe at the meter. Chief Anderson said Clark was pinned just ten feet from the leak.
People from blocks away could smell it, too. "We were dealing with a bomb there," Zamantakis said. A reading on a gas detector showed dangerous concentrations of gas. One spark would have touched off an explosion. Police cordoned off the streets and evacuated nearby homes.
Rescue 3 put in an emergency call to Questar gas to shut off the flow. There was no shutoff valve because the meter was gone and digging up the street was not an option in this emergency. The Questar worker crawled under the truck and pounded in a spark-free wooden plug.
Rescuers opened door and broke windows, then brought in fans to pressurize the house and force the gas out.
As the gas dropped to near-zero, Rescue 3 deployed the jacks and managed to lift the truck high enough to gently extricate the trapped woman. She and Smith were then transported by ambulance to Castleview Hospital.
The three occupants of the vehicle were able to get out after the crash.
Drugs and alcohol were not suspected in the crash. However, sleep may have been an issue, according to Anderson.

Apple as a company has been sued by over 27,000 South Koreans who are concerned with privacy issues that the company has failed to deal with within the company. The 27,000 individuals sued the company pursuing the company because their collective private location data, as was reported by numerous media sources yesterday. The group is looking for a total of 1 million won per person. That comes to a total of just about $25 million total, after the Korean Communications Commission fined Apple a total of $2829.
The fine came after the Location gate scandal that happened earlier in the year. This scandal included Apple tracking the location of everyone who used their devices and having it stored in their databases. It was a big deal at the time, and Apple likely probably thought they were out from under all of the scrutiny, but it looks as though there are still some that are upset with the privacy issues that they experienced.
Apple as a company has to buy its claims that there location tracking issue was the result of a bug, and was not done purposely by the company. They were able to fix the bug in the software update, and that put an end to all of location tracking issues that many users were having. However, by that time all of the damage had already been done in the locations of all of their different users had already been tracked by the company. It will be interesting to see if they are able to win a lawsuit as the only previous payout that the company may was a nine hour and $45 payout to a Korean lawyer named Kim Hyung-Suk following the scandal. The device has been one that had had a problem worldwide, and this is one of the first lawsuits that come through the pipeline.

42 U.S. Code § 1395xx - Payment of provider-based physicians and payment under certain percentage arrangements
(a) Criteria; amount of payments
(1) The Secretary shall by regulation determine criteria for distinguishing those services (including inpatient and outpatient services) rendered in hospitals or skilled nursing facilities—

(C) The Secretary may, upon a showing by a hospital or facility that it is unable to recruit or maintain an adequate number of physicians for the hospital or facility on account of the reimbursement limits established under this subsection, grant exceptions to such reimbursement limits as may be necessary to allow such provider to provide a compensation level sufficient to provide adequate physician services in such hospital or facility.
(b) Prohibition of recognition of payments under certain percentage agreements

Theare Carbon County Trails Committee will meet at noon today at the Carbon County Events Center meeting room.
The main focus of the committee is to map all available trails in the county and work towards creating new trails. These trails will be multi-use trails.
The committee hopes to accomplish a couple of items including to educate the community about what the committee is doing (at the last commission meeting a formal name for the trail was approved) and also to help get the word out that when the Bureau of Land Management puts up a sign saying an area is designated for OHV or other trail uses, that the signs be left up.
The BLM is working with the committee to open and mark existing trails. But as they go throughout the county and post the signs, those signs have been removed when they return to that area.
A number of important issues will be on the agenda for the meeting including the Helper Trail System and a clean up on Wood Hill.

Read: Trying To Make Sense Of Decertification/Ryan Miller Is All For It
In a couple of tweets last night, Darren Dreger said that if the NHLPA decertifies it will effectively end any chance of their being a season this year. Dreger said that it is still early in the process for that to happen and that no one he has spoken with thinks it is a legit play for the players.
Bob McKenzie writes at TSN that players seemed okay with decertification for the first time on Wednesday's conference call and says that Don Fehr may have the green light to go down that road.
51% of the players need to vote in favor of decertification for it to pass.
The next step would be filing an injunction saying that the players are ready and willing to fulfill their contracts and that the lockout is illegal. If the court rules in favor of the players then the NHL would return with no CBA in place which would mean no draft, no salary cap, no rules and basically "chaos."
In the case of the NFLPA, which decertified, a court ruled in their favor while three subsequent cases saw that overturned. The NFLPA decertified before the players were even locked out.
Ryan Miller told the Globe and Mail that he doesn't think anything meaningful will be discussed until the players have filed for decertification.
Miller said, "They want to see if we will take a bad deal because we get desperate or if we have the strength to push back. Decertification is a push back and should show we want a negotiation and a fair deal on at least some of our terms."
James Mirtle, in the Globe and Mail, spoke with a sports labor lawyer who said that the PA needs to discuss whether it needs some thing like decertification to change the balance of power in the negotiations.
Nick Cotsonika tweets "My guess/hope is that if NHLPA decertifies, it leads to a deal as in other sports and not Armageddon. Owners had to account for possibility."

By TERRY WILLISSun Advocate sports reporter
The Lady Dinos went down hard to the Wasatch Wasps on Tuesday night. Carbon lost to the 3A number one ranked Wasps 38-59. For the Dinos, this pre-season game doesn't count in the standings, but it is a gauge of where they stand in their run for the state championship this season.
The Dinos can see there is still much work to be done before region play begins. Wasatch held Megan Garvin to a single three point shot as her only score. Erika Potts led the team in scoring with 13. Julia Potts scored seven for the Dinos and Samantha Smith matched her with seven of her own.
Smith was the only other Dino to hit a three on the night.
The Dinos will play Bear River on Thursday night at the Carbon High Gym starting at 7 p.m. They will host Canyon View on Saturday. This game will begin at 5 p.m. will be played at CEU in the BDAC.

I'm sure you're curious whether I really didn't buy any new clothes: truly, I was pretty good! I previously 'fessed up to buying a coat at the A.P.C. outlet in Paris in November. Also, I did break down and buy 3 merino cardigans from Nordstroms in March.
I was hoping that I'd begin wearing many of my own pieces as the year went on, but, to be honest, not all of the pieces I've made this year have went into regular wardrobe rotation. There are a few reasons for this: (1) some pieces were a flop, and (2) I wasn't sewing for my life or wardrobe.
Reason #1 is pretty obvious. Not only were some projects a failure, but my early garments weren't of the best construction. I'm not beating myself up - I was a complete novice at apparel sewing! There is a learning curve, and I think I'm now on the upward swing of it (despite recent poor fabric/pattern choosing - while I admit the skirt does look rather cute in the photos, I just can't bring myself to wear it!).
For example, I could not figure out what
I also think it looks more professional to match the invisible zipper to a project's colors, even though just the pull is seen. These techniques make a piece look and seem more RTW, and make me want to grab them out of my closet.
Reason #2 needs explaining: I bought patterns or material because I loved the style or fabric, for that reason alone, without much thought to what I really wear. For example, I purchased a gorgeous, soft, high-quality thick satin from WinMil which I turned into this Cynthia Rowley shift:
But I haven't had the occasion to wear it. I'm a suburbanite, and very rarely go to cocktail parties or clubbing (instead, I like to sit at home and sew on a Friday night, heh heh). Or this sheath dress in the awesome jungle-esque material: the material is a bit much for work, but the shape is too stuffy for going out/casual wear. Not a good fabric/pattern match.
I will get so much more mileage out of my hard-sewn pieces if I carefully consider whether I'd really wear the piece (Where? With what shoes? What pants? Etc.). While I might want a jungle print dress, if I'm never going to wear it, it's a waste of my money and time.
I don't think one should sew only black pencil skirts and button-ups, ignoring that special occassion dress pattern, or passing on a lovely faux fur for a shrug that will only be worn a few times. But if you're aiming to build a better wardrobe via sewing, "I will sew for my real life!" has to be your mantra.

While there's no arguing that color-block ensembles are here to stay and that the season's pretty sherbet hues are a welcome palette cleanser, let us assure you those aren't the only must-try color trends at their tipping point this spring! In addition to mixing multiple hues, designers and celebrities are embracing monochromatic looks, creating interesting outfits with just one color or varied versions of a single shade, and the results are equally noteworthy. From Zoe Saldana's minimalist blend of grays to the intermingle of green at Elie Saab, we're crazy about this fresh take on color, and thus, are celebrating it in today's Trend Report!
We spotted many notable interpretations of the monochromatic trend on the S/S 12 runways, but there was something about Adam's pink-on-pink ensemble that spoke to us right away. We love the way designer Adam Lippes used the single hue to play with spring's dueling color palettes, expertly teaming the neon pink shade of his sheer lace top with pastel cuffed trousers for a visually-intriguing result. We also enjoyed the monochromatic outfits displayed in rainbow sequence at the Elie Saab S/S 12 show, and not surprisingly, were green with envy at the sight of the Oz-worthy ensemble shown above. Saab's use of the same emerald green color throughout the entire look (which is not sold in the US, unfortunately) gives the outfit a striking presence, yet the mix of textures keep it from feeling one note.
Lest you think this color-coding only works on the runways, we rounded up a quintet of style-minded ladies that prove otherwise! One of the things we love about this look is how it works with practically every color imaginable; however, opting for a bright hue a la Liya Kebede guarantees a bold statement. The model/actress went for a show-stopping look at the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Awards late last year when she wore Cushnie et Ochs' Poplin Blazer ($1295, 212.872.2700), Viscose Blouse ($995, 212.872.2700), and Poplin Skirt (212.872.2700), all in Rio Yellow, and finished with patent leather yellow Giuseppe Zanotti ankle-strap heels. While multiple layers of this canary hue feel more playful than professional, the clean lines and refined silhouettes give the outfit a sophisticated look. Equally vibrant, albeit with a more casual vibe, was the fantastic outfit Resin Denim founder Chantel Valentene assembled for New York Fashion Week this past September. Red was the key color for this fashion insider, who paired Equipment's Diem Blouse ($184) with Resin jeans from the S/S 11 collection. We applaud Valentene's decision to opt for a darker shade of red on the bottom, as the subtle contrast allows the separates to stand out on their own.
While adventurous dressers will surely gravitate toward brighter interpretations of monochromatic dressing, it's important to note that neutral versions of this one-color look leave an equally memorable impression. Take, for example, the outfit Zoe Saldana wore to New York Fashion Week in September. The actress' minimalist mix of cool gray hues-a Michael Kors ombre tank dress and clutch from the F/W 11 collection, and Lanvin heels-made for one simple and chic look. We're also partial to the way in which model Hilary Rhoda deftly blended multiple shades of off-white for the New Yorkers For Children luncheon back in October. The brunette beauty selected pieces from St. John's F/W 11 collection, including a double-breasted coat, v-neck sweater, and trousers, creating a sophisticated and feminine look perfect for the afternoon event. And last, but certainly not least, Gwyneth Paltrow deserves high praise for her all-noir look. The perennially stylish actress created a pitch-perfect menswear-inspired outfit to celebrate the opening of Louis Vuitton-Marc Jacobs: The Exhibition during Paris Fashion Week earlier this month, with a black tuxedo-style blazer and cropped pants from Louis Vuitton's Pre-Fall 12 collection. Perhaps the most accessible way to address today's look, a black-on-black ensemble is always on-trend and unquestionably chic.
If there's anything we've learned from this Trend Report it's that the possibilities are really endless when it comes to creating your own monochromatic ensemble. Naturally, we have our own suggestions, especially for those looking to recreate today's featured outfits! First up, the runways! Right now we're all about the color pink, and think Forever 21's Long Sleeve Lace Top ($12) in Hot Pink paired with Zara's Slim Pop Fabric Trousers ($80) offers a cool combo similar to Adam's version. You could also swap the neon top for one in pastel pink, like 3.1 Phillip Lim's Racer Back Tank ($225), if you're partial to spring's softer color palette. To emulate Elie Saab's green mix, be sure to pick up American Apparel's Chiffon Secretary Blouse ($60) in Blarney, Catherine Malandrino's Pleated Skirt ($265), and See by Chloe's Tweet Snap-Button Jacket ($595). Fancy Kebede's sunny layers instead? You might want to consider Rag & Bone's Tuxedo Blazer ($325) and New 88 Shirt ($255), which both come in the same lemon yellow color and would look lovely teamed with BCBGMAXAZRIA's Bonita Pleated Chiffon Skirt ($178).
Are layers of one bright color a bit much for you? Good news: we have a handful of neutral options as well! Though Saldana's gray Michael Kors dress is no longer available, we think T by Alexander Wang's Cami Tank ($87) tucked into Express' High-Waist Belted Tweed Pencil Skirt ($70) makes for a spot-on alternative. Just be sure to add Marc Jacobs' Paradise Eugenie Fold Over Clutch ($495) to further achieve Saldana's sleek look. For a crisp, all-white ensemble a la Rhoda, grab J. Crew's Linen V-Neck Cable-Knit Sweater ($69.50) and Elie Tahari Crop Leg Pants ($128), and then finish with Paul & Joe Sister's Edgar Hemp and Cotton-Blend Coat ($245). Finally, to mimic Paltrow's simply chic styling, snag Theory's Gabe B Blazer ($395) and Marc by Marc Jacobs' Orcha Black Washed Ankle Pants ($113). Whatever look you choose to emulate this season, the key to monochromatic dressing is to pick a color you're comfortable with and select separates with uncomplicated silhouettes; the result will be a winner every time!-Jessica Baker

Quote: Get Out There
In last night's win against the Rockies, Mike Pelfrey pitched eight scoreless innings with five strikeouts, and only allowed six hits.
After leaving the field when the eighth was over, the crowd summoned Pelfrey out for a well-deserved curtain call.
Pelfrey, on coming back out:
"That's awesome. I remember last year coming off the field several times getting booed. I saw Lastings Milledge get a curtain call. It's something I always wanted to do. It was awesome. They started chanting, [Ramon] Castro looked at me, said 'Get out there.' I wasn't going to say no."
Jerry Manuel, on pulling Pelfrey after the eight inning:
"I really was considering sending him back out – strongly considering sending him back out – the reason being I think Pelfrey has a chance to leapfrog some people on the staff and become one of the top, top pitchers not only on our team, but in the league. It was the pitch count that concerned me more than anything. Eventually, at some point in his career, he's going to learn how to complete a game with 110, 117 pitches. When he gets to that point, that's when he'll really be something special."
Pelfrey has now pitched 16 consecutive scoreless innings, and has only allowed one run in his last three starts.
…the darn pitch count strikes again…although it would have been nice to see him pitch a complete game, why create undue stress on his arm…
…i was at the game and Shea had a playoff like atmosphere to it…not sure if i had ever heard 'pelf-rey' chants before, but like i said earlier, they were well-deserved…

They don't look too bad. I think they look strangely like the lamp from Pixar entertainment!I think they look pretty sweet. *I wonder how stable they are on the desktop. * (They look like they could tip over)
I don't know why, but I'm starting to like Apple. Eeeek!! Anyone remember 'Lisa' their one button mouse? :P
Yea, what with OS X being released and all, I find the idea of having a Mac somewhat tempting.
Unfortunately, if I were to get one, it would be a Powerbook or an iBook, and because those things are so expensive, I don't think I'll be able to afford one for quite awhile.
For now, a hand-me-down computer with Debian on it suits me just fine.
I never something as sexy as MacOSX, so I wouldn't mind paying for a Mac. Man, if they ported that thing to x86 I would SO try it out! As of now, it's the ONLY OS that has any chance to replace my dear Debian on my desktop.
I swear, I must be the only person who thinks those things look completely ridiculous. (and this is a Mac owner talking)
But yeah, OSX is pretty sweet. in fact, I would have rather they announced an update to X than those horrible looking new iMacs.
I'd like to get one of the iMacs (not the newest one though) and fire up OSX on it. I do like the flashy interface and since its BSD based it makes the idea of owning one a lot cooler than I ever imagined. BTW, from my experience with them, I hate macs.
I too hate macs. That one-button mouse has got to be the most annoying thing on the planet >
I wish they'd stop assuming that their users need only one button to do things...
Well the monitor is sweet and the general hardware is a nice set up, but it looks like a hat with a monitor. In a styly kinda way.
Hating macs because of a one button mouse? Strange. BTW you are NOT restricted to having a mouse with one button. For all the years I have used a Mac the single button has never be a setback or an annoyance.
GnuVince in time Darwin will be fully supported in the i86 architecture (it is only able to run on a VERY LIMITED hardware setup). But if you like the Aqua GUI.....well buy a Mac then because you definitely will not see that ported to i86. Aqua is proprietary and Apple would not be stupid enough to let that go otherwise their sales of Mac hardware would slide into the sub basement, good architecture and all.
My initial reaction was, it looks like you should be able to unblock toilets with it. I think the cube (R.I.P.) looked much nicer.
Out of interest does OSX have a CLI? My friend's just got a G4, and I wanted to poke around in it, but in the 2min I had on it I couldn't find one.

JOHN DIES AT THE END with director Don Coscarelli in person
|Don Coscarelli
|Chase Williamson, Rob Mayes, Paul Giamatti
|Run Time
|Age Policy
18 and up; Children 6 and up will be allowed only with a parent guardian. No children under the age of 6 will be allowed.
|More Info
Don Coscarelli is the creative cyclone behind PHANTASM, THE BEASTMASTER, and BUBBA HO-TEP. JOHN DIES AT THE END is Don Coscarelli's first full-length movie in a decade. It's a totally unpredictable (and totally awesome) horror-comedy gorefest with a gigantic frozen meat monster. These are all facts.
"Soy Sauce" is a drug that promises an out-of-body experience with each hit. In fact, it's so out-of-body that it enables users to achieve inter-dimensional travel. And also come back to earth as monsters. John (Rob Mayes) and Dave (Chase Williamson) are college dropouts that partake of the 'Sauce while trying to make a living as ghostbusters.
Naturally, an otherworldly assault soon threatens the entire universe and it's up to John and Dave to save humanity. That's where normalcy ends. Disgusting insects! Hell! Paul Giamatti as a curmudgeon reporter!
Based on David Wong's cult novel of the same name, JOHN DIES AT THE END is like a mutant three-way between John Carpenter, William S. Burroughs, and THE ICE PIRATES.
There are lysergic tangents, slimy creature effects, and seriously unhinged gags that will make you laugh. And then cringe. And then ask yourself how it's possible to have so much fun while wondering why your face has turned in to a bug. Basically, you'll never look at Soy Sauce the same way again. That's the Coscarelli guarantee.

Although Al Quoz does not exactly hold the usual Dubai glamour, with cement factories, labour camps and extreme dust, it is here where the local Dubai art scene took hold.
As in other big world cities it is not unusual for artists to flourish in cutting edge spaces and Dubai is no different. In fact, the warehouses in this area provide the ideal wide empty spaces that make for perfect exhibition venues.
Contemporary art by budding artists from the region can be found here. Gallery names such as Art Sawa, Ayyam Gallery, Shelter, Gallery Isabelle Van Den Eynde, Flying House and The Third Line are worth looking out for.
The jamjar gallery offers an ArtintheCity ArtBus which takes visitors around to various art venues in the city.
Address: various locations in the Al Quoz area.

I spent a few months in China in 1990 and again in 1992 and one of the moments of clarity I remember most was riding about on a black Chinese standard bike and entering a roundabout in central Beijing.
I had ridden all about the country on the bike but nothing could have prepared me for that roundabout. First of all it was the size of a small African nation, with six roads using it as a hub.
Secondly, I entered a fantastic school of cycling fish. Literally hundreds of cyclists. I could see no rhyme or reason for their movement. It was a fluent, poetic swirling mass of cyclism. There were no hand signals and nary an over the shoulder glance when one of the hundreds exited the roundabout. It was timed to perfection.
No collisions, no talking, no sound at all. The occasional eye contact perhaps.
And there was I. Caught in an operatic maelstrom. I had no idea how to get out of the mass to exit down my street. I ended up circling four times, gradually edging my way to the kerb and making a break for it.
Thrilling, exhilirating.
Sadly, it's a scene out of the past. The bike has fallen out of favour with the nouveau riche. They are turning to the car in shocking numbers. I'm all for China gaining in prosperity and becoming a superpower. No problem. But they're ditching something amazing in the process.
Car ownership increased by 20% last year alone, reaching 22 million according to the National Bureau of Statistics. Motorways and ring roads are being built at an alarming rate.
Just ten years ago there were 500 million cyclists in China. The bike was emperor of the roads. It was the only way to go and the fastest way to get there.
But whereas two thirds of families traveled by bike in the 90's, it is only 20% today. Bike ownership in cities has plummeted by 25% in the past five years.
That still gives you 7 million bikes in the capital, but these rates are alarming and not a little sad.
I miss that roundabout in 1990 dreadfully.

What a pity for China (but unfortunatly some parts of Italy are the same ...). They are missing health and sustainable way of living. But we are not going so far away: I have just read on a newspaper that this year for the very first time the amount of extracted oil will be less than the one of the year before. THe beginning of the end of the world as we know it. Regards

Which is why it is an excellent time to invest in Danish wind power companies... :-)
Denmark gets 20%+ of her energy from wind power. That triples during storms.
We are gunning for 50% by 2015. So I'm not that worried about oil.

I wish I had your trust. We've thrown away 30-40 years, at the moment I can see no real alternatives, neither wind mills nor photovoltaic panels nor .... I believe they can only shift the problem for few years.

Yeah it's truly disheartening every time I am back there I find that more roads are closed to bicycles. Of course it's still a major mode of transportation there, but it is indeed regarded to be something backward & prole - ironically no longer a word with positive connotations in a "socialist" state like China.
Familiar childhood sights like a family of three gets around on a single bike with the kid on the top tube & mom at the rear is getting rare nowadays in the big city, since it's illegal now. Of course to the government it's all so-called progress, but to see what was once one of the great cycling cultures diminish is truly a sad affair.

It terrifies me to think of the environmental effects of millions of additional cars on the Chinese roads. The air quality will soon be so poor (if it isn't already) that no one will want to ride a bike.
I wonder about the quality and emission levels of the cars over there. I suspect, very cheap, very bad... please someone tell me I'm wrong.
- 00:10
- radzi said...
Actually the official emission standard in China is getting better, and will in theory at least be inline with EURO IV by the end of the decade. Though how stringently it is, or can be enforced causes more concern (pretty much like all laws & regulations in a developing nation).
The air quality is already quite appalling, especially compared with places like Australia. Sadly it will certainly get worse before it gets better, and can only happen through far more restrictions on industries & motor vehicle usage - something not too likely to happen in the foreseeable future unless perceptions change both for the goverment & the general public in regard to long-term responsiblities towards the environment. There is an old Chinese saying that goes "as long as the mountains are green, there will be no shortage of firewood", unfortunately not something current mandarins are too concerned with.
- 19:39
Not only is it a shame that the Chinese bike culture is suffering. But now mailorder companies, exploit cheap labor to import bikes with dubious quality control. Companies like IBEX, show that they have bottom line strategies that impact their quality. Buy cheap (like IBEX) and destroy even the American small manufacturer.

YIELD: A light supper for 2
- Olive oil
- 1 cup high-quality ricotta cheese, such as hand-dipped full-fat ricotta
- 2 to 3 tablespoons fresh bread crumbs
- 4 teaspoons butter
- 2 large shallots or 1/2 small onion, finely diced (about 1/3 cup)
- 5 small sage leaves, minced (about 1 1/2 teaspoons)
- 1 1/2 pounds pod peas, shucked (about 1 cup)
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- Chunk of Parmesan cheese, for grating
Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly oil a small baking dish; a round Spanish earthenware dish about 6 inches across is perfect for this amount.
If your ricotta is wet and milky, drain it first by putting it in a colander and pressing out the excess liquid. Pack the ricotta into the dish, drizzle a little olive oil over the surface, and bake 20 minutes or until the cheese has begun to set and brown on top. Cover the surface with the bread crumbs and continue to bake until the bread crumbs are browned and crisp, another 10 minutes. (The amount of time it takes for ricotta cheese to bake until set can vary tremendously, so it may well take longer than the times given here, especially if it wasn't drained.)
When the cheese is finished baking, heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. When the butter foams, add the shallots and sage and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the peas, 1/2 cup water, and the lemon zest. Simmer until the peas are bright green and tender; the time will vary, but it should be 3 to 5 minutes. Whatever you do, don't let them turn gray. Season with salt and a little freshly ground pepper, not too much.
Divide the ricotta between 2 plates. Spoon the peas over the cheese. Grate some Parmesan over all and enjoy while warm.
With Pasta: Cook 1 cup or so pasta shells in boiling, salted water. Drain and toss them with the peas, cooked as above, and then with the ricotta. The peas nestle in the pasta, like little green pearls.

Pro Photographer Spotlight - David duChemin/
Pro photographer, David duChemin, is a world & humanitarian assignment photographer, best-selling author, digital publisher, and international workshop leader whose adventurous life fuels his fire to create and share. Based in Vancouver, Canada, when he's home, David leads a nomadic life chasing compelling images on all 7 continents.
When on assignment David creates powerful images that convey the hope and dignity of children, the vulnerable and oppressed for the international NGO community.
David's work can be seen at DavidduChemin.com
Here are some examples of David's incredible work.
What type of photography do you like best and why?
By trade and calling I am a landscape and humanitarian photographer, but the photographs I like best, regardless of genre, are those that are imbued with mood and emotion. I want to see, and feel, something new, and I want the same for the people who look at my photographs.
What is the one tip you would give to a beginner photographer?
Don't get caught up in the gear. Learn the basics and then go make photographs. Make a lot of photographs. Better to fall in love with the photographs and the stories, than the means by which we create them.
Where is your favourite place to travel and to photograph?
It's a toss-up right now. I love Africa, and tomorrow I get back on a plane to return to Kenya for a month. But I also love places like Antarctica, and Iceland. They both do something different for me creatively. One offers me warmth and friendship and culture, while the other offers me vastness of space and fascinating landscapes.
Who is a photographer you have looked to for inspiration?
Though I don't think you'd know it in my work, I adore the wit and juxtaposition of Elliott Erwitt. I can look at his work for hours. Andrew Zuckerman, too. Very different. But I love the way he focuses on colour and form, especially in his book, BIRD.
Upcoming Workshops
David leads a small number of Within The Frame Photographic Adventures every year. In 2013 he and Jeffrey Chapman are taking small groups to Italy, Oaxaca, and Burma. David also hosts a couple weekend events each year at his home in Vancouver. information on the Within The Frame trips and the Vancouver Gatherings can be found on his website, DavidduChemin.com

Burn calories at the gym, then reward your efforts with a tasty organic snack: maybe a squeezable packet of apple-cinnamon sauce or roasted seaweed seeds.
Sandra D. DeLong has named her store Health Nutz, at 20 Public Square. She hopes to lure Watertown Family YMCA members zeroing in on organic food to stay fit. To open the first week of May, the store will offer a range of locally produced food thats free of preservatives and artificial dyes. Lining the shelves will be granola and fruit bars, fresh-picked blueberries, dried fruit, jams, honey, spices, soup and pasta. Parents will notice boxes of fruit snacks and organic teddy bear cookies.
I think its really important for people to buy local, Mrs. DeLong said Friday while arranging inventory with her 25-year-old daughter, Holly A. Organic and natural foods cost a little bit more, but I dont think people mind spending because the money stays local. We want to fill our bins with fresh fruits and vegetables.
The 47-year-old entrepreneur has big plans for the quaint, 400-square-foot space. She plans to add inventory frequently by partnering with local businesses and farms.
At the planned organic coffee bar, customers can purchase hot drinks in special cups made only from renewable resources. Healthful drinks in the stores cooler will include vitamin and coconut water and organic tea. Miss DeLong, whos studying information technology at SUNY Delhi, helped her mother track down the latest organic products on the market.
She also will use her know-how to launch a website and Facebook page to market the business. She and her college friends often buy organic food to maintain a healthful diet, snacking on organic pears and dried fruit between classes.
I try to eat organic whenever I can, she said, although sometimes finding it is a challenge. Its more expensive and doesnt last as long without artificial ingredients, which makes it harder to transport.
Mrs. DeLong, who recently joined the Downtown Business Association, said shes always liked shopping downtown. Her family enjoys riding motorcycles across the Canadian border to Kingston during the summer to visit downtown shops. Commenting on the handful of shops that opened in the past year, she said, I think its up and coming here.
Health Nutz will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Balancing Customization, Personalization, and Privacy: Where Are We?
About twenty people braved some wildly rainy Atlanta weather on November 30 for a fantastic meal at Bacchanalia, and a fascinating conversation about the intersection between customization and privacy, at the latest IAB Innovators Roundtable Dinner (IRD).
Sponsored by Quova, this IRD focused the dinner discussion on geotargeting, and how location and other consumer data lead to better advertising campaigns and happier customers—assuming they're done correctly. Attendees included folks from 22 Squared, BBDO, Nurun, DS Waters, Home Depot, ING, Coke, and of course Quova and the IAB.
I found it very interesting how broadly attendees perceive the advantages to marketers of geolocation in online advertising. One discussion focused on geo-targeting's benefits in terms of engagement and prospecting. Another centered primarily on the strategic value of this kind of capability, in terms of assessing competitiveness and growth. And the third conversation focused mainly on the benefits from delivering more relevant messages to consumers.
Home Depot discussed a simple but effective way that they've used geotargeting: in their "Spring Black Friday" campaign, they used location data to determine whether to feature, say, a plant versus a snow shovel in the display ads they ran. That gets at another point that I think is sometimes overlooked when discussing location-based targeting, particularly in mobile: often I feel like it's presented as an all-or nothing thing, like you either target based on someone's exact latitude and longitude, or you don't use it at all. However, far less granular location data, to a ZIP code, a city or even sometimes a state or region can also unlock value for an advertiser and relevance for a consumer.
I heard mixed things on the topic of consumer privacy—one perspective at dinner held that privacy concerns are very much a factor of the older segment of the audience; younger consumers generally embrace the relevance that targeting can deliver, and so the whole question of privacy will diminish over time. On the other hand, another view holds that eventually there will be some kind of opt-in requirement (this was the week that the FTC issued its new recommendation on targeting), since privacy regulation may be the only thing a divided Congress might actually accomplish.
One perceptive comment was that customers don't know what marketers know or don't know, and so the industry needs to help them understand that. Of course, that's something the IAB is working on.
If I had to summarize all the conversations, the consensus advice coming out of this dinner is that geotargeting can be large win-win for marketers and consumers, but it has to be done respectfully and with the right tone. Marketers and agencies need to beware of using targeting simply because they can, and focus on opportunities where it really improves the message. And targeting that hits a consumer over the head with "I know you're in DOWNTOWN ATLANTA GEORGIA!" is not going to be as welcome, or as effective, as targeting that uses that same piece of data more subtly, to enhance the value of the message.
