YIELD: Makes 8 (as part of antipasti) servings
ACTIVE TIME: 45 min
TOTAL TIME: 5 1/2 hr
- 1 (1/2-pound) Yukon Gold potato, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup warm water (105-115°F)
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 3 teaspoons active dry yeast (from two 1/4-ounce packages)
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 1/4 cups "00" flour, divided
- 1 tablespoon plus 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 1/2 pound plum tomatoes, thinly sliced crosswise
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Equipment: a stand mixer with paddle and dough-hook attachments
Generously cover potato with salted cold water (1 teaspoon salt for 3 cups water) in a small heavy saucepan and simmer, uncovered, until just tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and cool slightly, then mash until smooth.
Stir together warm water and sugar in bowl of mixer. Sprinkle yeast over mixture and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
Add potato and 1/4 cup oil to yeast and beat with paddle attachment at medium speed until combined, about 2 minutes. Remove paddle attachment and attach dough hook, then beat in 4 cups flour and 1 tablespoon sea salt at medium-high speed until combined well, about 3 minutes. (Dough will be very soft and sticky.)
Transfer to a well-floured surface and knead in remaining 1/4 cup flour with lightly floured hands until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. (Dough will still be very soft and sticky.)
Scrape dough into a lightly oiled large bowl and cover bowl with oiled plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Generously oil a 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan.
Punch down dough (do not knead) and transfer to baking pan, then gently stretch to cover as much of bottom as possible (dough may not fit exactly).
Cover dough with oiled plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 425°F with rack in lower third.
Arrange tomatoes on focaccia (do not overlap), then sprinkle with oregano and remaining 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and drizzle with remaining 1/4 cup oil.
Bake until center is firm, top is pale golden, and underside is golden (lift to check), 20 to 25 minutes.
Loosen focaccia from pan with a spatula and slide onto a rack to cool slightly. Cut into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.
Cooks' note: Focaccia is best eaten the day it is made but can be baked 1 day ahead and kept, wrapped in foil, in a sealed bag at room temperature. If desired, reheat, uncovered, in a 350°F oven until just heated through, about 10 minutes.

(1) With respect to payment to a person of more than the correct amount, the Commissioner of Social Security shall decrease any payment under this subchapter to which the overpaid person (if a qualified individual) is entitled, or shall require the overpaid person or his or her estate to refund the amount in excess of the correct amount, or, if recovery is not obtained under these two methods, shall seek or pursue recovery by means of reduction in tax refunds based on notice to the Secretary of the Treasury, as authorized under section 3720A of title 31.
(2) With respect to payment of less than the correct amount to a qualified individual who, at the time the Commissioner of Social Security is prepared to take action with respect to the underpayment—

(b) Waiver of recovery of overpayment
In any case in which more than the correct amount of payment has been made, there shall be no adjustment of payments to, or recovery by the United States from, any person who is without fault if the Commissioner of Social Security determines that the adjustment or recovery would defeat the purpose of this subchapter or would be against equity and good conscience.
(c) Limited immunity for disbursing officers
A disbursing officer may not be held liable for any amount paid by the officer if the adjustment or recovery of the amount is waived under subsection (b) of this section, or adjustment under subsection (a) of this section is not completed before the death of the qualified individual against whose benefits deductions are authorized.

Gigliotti Pond. For Carbon County residents, a short drive will take you to some good fishing for pan-size trout. Use small jigs, tipped with worms, mealworms or salmon eggs.
Huntington Creek. Conservation Officer Casey Mickelsen reports slow to moderate fishing, depending on time of day. Casey recommends worms in open-water zones. Anglers may need snowshoes to access the creek. Three good patterns for fly fishermen include a Montana nymph, San Juan worm or hares ear. Expect a light bite for browns ranging from 10 to 14 inches.
Huntington North Reservoir. Fishing pressure was light. The ice is 12 to 14 inches thick. Based on an angler survey, Randall Stilson recommends ice flies, tipped with a nightcrawler or mealworm Rainbows are generally pan-size. Browns get up to 16 inches.
Mammoth Reservoir. Deep snow and thick ice require the use of an auger extension, show shovel and snowshoes or snow machine. Tigers generally run from 12 to 18 inches, although a six-pound trophy was landed earlier this winter. A swedish pimple, tipped with a dead redside shiner can be effective.
Joes Valley Reservoir. Fishing continues to fluctuate between slow and fair. Splake are mostly within or below the slot limit. Biologist Justin Hart and a party of associates fished the reservoir during the week. Everyone caught five to six fish and a few iced a dozen or so. Their biggest fish measured 18 inches. The party used small jigs and spoons, tipped with chub meat. The bite came in waves. Justin recommends fishing in five to 25 feet of water. Leave the PowerBait at home. Splake and tiger trout are predatory and uninterested in commercial cheese baits.
Millsite Reservoir. State Park Manager Dan Richards reports good fishing for 12 to 14 inch rainbows and pan-size splake. The hot spots have been on the north side of the dam and just out from the boat ramp. Dan recommends small ice flies, tipped with a piece of nightcrawler. Conservation Officer Casey Mickelsen reported good results with green marshmallows and worms. Randall Stilson interviewed one angler who was catching fish with a marabou jig, tipped with a mealworm.
Scofield Reservoir. Lieutenant Carl Gramlich and his son fished Scofield on Jan. 13. They fished in the dam cove and along the southeast side. The ice was 13 inches thick. Carl fished in nine to 11 feet of water, using green ice flies baited with worms. The best fishing occurred between 8 a.m. and noon. After finishing up, Carl interviewed other anglers. Everyone rated fishing as slow. The bite was sporadic and no specific tackle seemed to out-fish any other. Dedicated Hunter Bruce Sherman, Sr. fished on Sunday and reported 10 to 12 inches of ice under eight inches of water and topped by a foot of snow. He cautioned against using a 4-wheeler. A lot of folks were getting stuck. Bruce's fishing party caught 10 trout. One measured over 20 inches. They used Foxy jigs with mealworms. Bruce described fishing as slow to fair.
DWR Volunteer Services Coordinator Randall Stilson performed a creel survey on Jan. 14 and reported slow fishing. Randall recommends a jig and mealworm. He noted that one angler had good luck with a Jakes Spin-a-Lure, tipped with chub meat.
Straight Canyon. In open water stretches, try a prince nymph, hares ear or ugly in sizes 14-18. You will need to drift a fly through the hole several times to draw a strike.

In Theresa's family growing up, either you had control of the remote—or you had a yarn and a needle in your hand. Growing up in such a craft-inclined family, naturally she wanted to up the game, put her own spin on the craft of embroidery. Her pieces are made with a lot of what they call "stump work." That's just the street term (yes, there IS embroidery street slang) for embroidery that rises from the fabric in some way. See, she's trying to make her pieces jump out to you in some surprising way, give 'em an element of "oh, hey, lookie here."

THOUSAND ISLAND PARK The Wellesley Hotel is once again open for the season.
The restaurant is under new management, with Chef Karin Lapusnak in charge. While many may not recognize the name, Karin was head chef at the Renaissance restaurant in Watertown years ago, being one of the first to introduce innovative upscale foods and artistic presentation to the area.
For more than 12 years she managed the kitchen at Sackets Harbor Brewing Company. She also had a hand in opening and managing Goodfellos Brick Oven Pizza and Wine Bar in Sackets Harbor as well as the Sackets Cantina.
With credentials like that, she was the perfect choice to continue the tradition of fine dining at the Wellesley Hotel.
The three-story corner building, built in 1903, is in beautiful condition. Expansive porches overlook the village park and the St. Lawrence River in the distance. The upper-level porches are perfect for overnight guests to enjoy a good book or a bottle of wine, while the porch on the ground level is devoted to outdoor dining.
Theres dining indoors and out. It was a beautiful summer night, so we passed directly through the main dining room to one of the many tables adorned with pristine white tablecloths and place settings on the porch.
We had a great view of the well-maintained 100-year-old cottages dotting the shoreline. Residents of the exclusive community scurried past the hotel on golf carts. Kids zoomed by in their bikes. Tourists walked through the park with ice cream cones in hand.
Our water glasses were filled and menus presented. Peter was our server, a personable young lad with ties to the community. He had worked in the hotels kitchen in previous years, he told us, and had a good knowledge of the food he was serving.
His pacing was good. Cocktail orders were taken and delivered in a timely fashion. He entered our food order, and appetizers were served at a relaxed pace.
We like small, manageable menus, and thats exactly what Karin designed for the hotel: a half-dozen appetizers, three entr�e salads and a half-dozen main courses to choose from as well as a handful of specials. Perfect.
The appetizers that we ordered were exquisite.
Lets start with my favorite, the sesame buckwheat blinis ($13). Three little yeast-raised pancakes were topped with finely diced tuna tartare, a dab of wasabi cream and a pinch of tobiko (fish roe). Little piles of pickled cucumber relish decorated the white rectangular plate. Textures and flavors all worked together.
Seared scallops ($14) were a treat, too. Three impressively large scallops were cooked perfectly, placed over wilted local greens and served with a spoonful of tasty lemon-infused white bean ragout and an interesting goat cheese fritter. Grilled asparagus and squiggles of balsamic glaze completed the mosaic .
Vermont cheddar-crusted salmon cakes ($12) were OK. The cakes were a little mushy, we felt, and we werent getting any cheddar flavor. The accompaniments saved the dish: roasted sweet corn cr�me, wilted spinach, roasted red pepper remoulade and tiny wisps of spicy-hot fried leeks.
Other than a daily Chefs Brew, theres only one soup on the menu, sweet potato vichyssoise ($6).
It was excellent, a thick, cream-colored potato puree garnished with a gremolata of diced smoked salmon, minced parsley and lemon zest. It was not overly chilled but served at room temperature, just right for maximizing the flavors of the ingredients.
Preceding our dinners was a simple salad served family-style in a wooden bowl, fresh greens tossed with blue cheese and a few grape tomatoes, lightly dressed with a house balsamic vinaigrette. Very nice.
A good bit of time passed as we waited for our entrees. We didnt really care; it gave us time to enjoy the surroundings, the company and a lovely bottle of La Crema Chardonnay ($38) from Californias Sonoma County.
Peter came by and apologized for the delay. He said there was a backup in the kitchen due to a party of 12 ahead of us. Hmmm if they were having trouble getting food out to a dozen people indoors, how long was it going to take to serve the 60 or so guests now occupying every table on the porch?
We had the solution: another bottle of La Crema, please.
Finally, our entrees arrived, and they were well worth the wait.
Lemon caramelized sea bass ($28) was the table favorite. It was a relatively thin piece of fish cut from the tail, but cooked correctly: moist and firm.
Im not sure what that lemon caramelized is all about, but the roasted red pepper hollandaise drizzled over it was mighty delicious, along with grilled asparagus and yummy vegetable rosti, shredded veggies formed into a small patty and pan fried.
Personally, my favorite dish was the asiago-crusted halibut ($29). It was a generous portion of fish, cooked properly, set over garlic mashed potatoes with just the right amount of garlic to not overpower. A spoonful of roasted red pepper and olive relish on top was a great flavor boost and worked well with the asiago.
Crisp rosemary lemon chicken ($22) was a great summer dish. An airline chicken breast (skin on, boneless except for the first wing joint or drumette) was served with grilled summer vegetables, charred tomato, barley and lemon chantilly sauce.
Chantilly is generally associated with desserts, a flavored whipped cream. But in a savory application, such as this, it was more of a lemon hollandaise with the addition of whipped cream. In the end, it was totally unobtrusive, there for the flavor punch.
The New Zealand rack of lamb is available as a full portion ($32) or a half portion ($24), which we got.
New Zealand racks are generally smaller than Australian or domestic racks and remarkably tender. Here it was herb-crusted and paired with a savory rosemary-garlic bread pudding, drizzled with pinot bordelaise and accompanied with summer vegetables.
We ordered the Black Angus tenderloin filet ($30) rare. It arrived that way, but the color at the center when we cut into it was not what we expected more of a purple than that nice, bright red rare color.
But the meat tasted fine, and thank goodness the Sambuca cream sauce that came with it was barely noticeable. Why screw up a nice steak with a licorice-flavored sauce?
Chive mashed potatoes, saut�ed greens and grilled heirloom tomatoes were appropriate sides.
Well, it was getting late. Wed been seated at 6 oclock and now it was 8:45 and the sun was setting.
So rather than desserts all around (we were afraid that would take forever), we ordered one to share.
How can you not like warm apple pie with a hunk of sharp cheddar cheese on top ($6)? It was made by the owner of the hotel, we were told. We loved the crumbled topping. The only thing that could have made it better would have a been a big blob of real whipped cream.
Dinner for five (three appetizers and a soup, five entrees and one dessert) came to $198.26 with tax but before tip. Our bill for wine and cocktails? Well, you dont want to know about that
The food was excellent. The setting cant be beat. Peters service was pleasant and efficient. Whens the last time you had a waiter call the men at the table Sir?
Sure, our entrees took too long to arrive, but we assume whatever the problem was in the kitchen was a one-time occurrence and doesnt happen every night.
Remember, the Wellesley Hotel is only open in the summertime. Theyll be closing for the season sometime after Labor Day,so plan accordingly.

How to Apply Individual False Eyelashes
How to Make Individual False Lashes Look Even Better This Halloween
Like us on Facebook
- Use tweezers to grasp the sprig of lashes as close to the base as possible. "Too high up and the lashes will fray when you pull them from their tray," Freedman says.
- Place a dot of glue on the tray with the lashes, and dip the base of the sprig into the glue using a light touch.
- Now, start on the outer corner and lay the lash behind your natural lash. "Picket-fence them toward the center," explains Freedman. "The center is generally as far as you need to go."
- Once the lashes are dry, curl them close to the base of your own lashes, being careful not to press too hard. "The faux lashes will curl much more than your natural lashes," he says. "You just want to pop them all up a touch."
- Then, finish by applying mascara to "marry" the faux with your natural lashes.
Want to give lash strips a try instead? Here's how to apply full-on falsies.

Read: James Dolan Can't Pose A Threat To Gary Bettman
At Sportsnet, Mark Spector breaks down some of the NHL owners and puts them into two groups, hawks and doves.
Spector spoke with someone who said that more than 20 teams are content to wait out the lockout and get the best deal they can.
The "hawks" are listed as Boston, Calgary, Anaheim, Carolina, Minnesota, LA, Columbus, Florida and Dallas.
In terms of Boston owner Jeremy Jacobs, who is the chairman of the Board of Governors, one person told Spector "He represents everything that's wrong with the owners."
The "doves" are listed as Toronto, Detroit, the Flyers, Senators and Rangers.
On James Dolan, Spector writes "In short, anything that Bettman wants, Dolan is said to wish for the opposite." He cites the Rangers lawsuit against the league for control of their website as part of the reason he isn't a fan of Bettman, but says that his feelings put him in the small minority and he can't pose much of a threat to the commissioner.

Calming Dry Skin Body Wash
Without question, this is an innovative body wash for those with dry to very dry or eczema-prone, itchy skin.
All Over Hair & Body Shampoo, for All Skin & Hair Types
The lathering formula rinses cleanly and does not contain any ingredients that may be irritating to skin or scalp.
Add to Faves?
Whether labeled body washes, body cleansers, bathing bubbles, shower gels, or something similar, in order to earn our top rating these cleansing products must have most, if not all, of the following key features:
Body washes (aka bath gels, shower gels, and so on) are a large group of products for something as basic as cleansing skin from the neck down. We do not recommend bar soaps or body bars for such cleansing, as even those labeled "moisturizing" or "non-drying" or "soap-free" tend to be problematic, either due to their drying nature (contrary to claim) or because the ingredients that keep such cleansers in bar form tend to leave a skin-dulling residue. In contrast, today's best body washes cleanser thoroughly but gentle, rinsed without leaving a dulling residue and, depending on the formula, can actually improve dry, irritated skin.
As a general rule, we don't rate overly fragrant body washes well. Those on the list of BEST products either contain minimal fragrance or are, thankfully (at least from your skin's perspective) fragrance-free. We acknowledge that many people love using fragrant body washes (what's sold at stores like Bath & Body Works, The Body Shop, and in most spas are prime examples) but the research is clear: What pleases your nose isn't making your skin happy. Surprisingly, fragrance in body washes can be a major cause of irritation, which can lead to itchy, even more uncomfortable skin, not to mention redness, allergic reactions, red bumps, and, depending on the source of irritating ingredients, a hastening of signs of aging (irritation results in pro-aging inflammation). True, using a fragrance-free body wash can turn your morning shower from refreshing or invigorating into mundane and boring, but your skin will thank you!
One more comment: With few exceptions, body washes need not be expensive. There are several wonderful options at the drugstore that are every bit as good (or even better) than pricier counterparts.

CANTON The Canton Rescue Squad Inc. has applied for a Certificate of Need to expand its ambulance territory to the towns of Clare, Hermon and Russell and parts of DeKalb and Pierrepont.
The squads president, Peter D. Feickert, said that although the squad has been answering calls in these areas, it needs the proper certification to continue.
In some ways, its an expansion in name only, he said. Our territory is the town of Canton and over the years, that has evolved to the point where we are actually answering a lot of calls in areas outside of our territory because of the need for mutual aid or advanced life support.
Mr. Feickert said that some of the areas such as Russell, do not have an advance life support service so they have to call the Canton Rescue volunteers to respond to those emergencies.
As theres been more and more of that activity, the state has become more and more concerned about us operating outside of our territory, he said.
Mr. Feickert said they sent a request to the North Country Regional Emergency Medical Services Council, which then set up a public hearing for the plan. The hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 28 at the Canton Fire Hall, 77 Riverside Drive. After receiving input from the community, the council will vote on the expansion plan and, if passed, send it to state authorities for final approval.
Were just waiting for the public hearing, Mr. Feickert said. We dont have any way of influencing how thats going to go. We dont think of it as an expansion of our territory; we think of it as ensuring that we will be able to continue providing service to the area rescue squads and their patients that we have in the past.

Land O' Lakes, Florida --The Pasco County teacher fired for snooping around on her students Facebook pages spoke out for the first time on Thursday.
Angelica Cruikshank, a Spanish teacher at Land O'Lakes High School was fired earlier this week after a unanimous vote from the school board.
She says she's been treated unfairly and only had her students' best interests in mind.
"I was trying to do something in good faith," Cruikshank said.
She tells 10 News in January she heard about a Facebook page, where students not only say bad things about her and other teachers, but also post answers to tests, as well as pick on each other.
"It was very egregious," she explained.
Cruikshank claims one of the students allowed her to look at the page, she never forced them to, because she wanted to protect them from cyberbullying.
"It was our responsibility as adults to channel that into a teachable moment," she explained.
But in investigative documents, the Pasco County School Board claims Cruikshank "improperly accessed the Facebook page, violating the students' right to privacy" and she was "dishonest throughout the investigation."
The documents also show she failed to tell the proper administrators about her concerns and prevented students from going on a field trip.
Cruikshank denied all of those things to 10 News.
She says she didn't deserve to lose her job.
"Maybe the way I handled that is not what others agree I should have done," she said, "I love my students. I pray for them every day."
The board chair declined an interview, standing by their 5-0 vote to fire her.
Cruikshank says she's now working on a Masters Degree.She plans to teach again, but this time at the college level.

I would like to express gratitude and thanks to a business in Price, which, in my opinion demonstrates true patronage to the public.
I refer to Bookcliff Sales, owned and operated, I believe, by Rick and Kathy Shiner.
I don't recall that I have spent more than $10 at a time at that establishment, but have always been treated as if I were the most important customer of the day.
Rick, Kathy and their outstanding sales staff have always been courteous, helpful and accommodating.

Jacks sweep Prairie Wolves
The South Dakota State men's tennis team closed out its weekend with a sweep at Nebraska Wesleyan on Monday.
Playing in a format where each doubles match counted for one team point, the Jacks swept the doubles play.
Henrique Pereira and Parker Lawley dominated the top spot with an 8-2 win, while Luke Elifson and James Thorp were 8-3 winners at No. 2 and Mateus Moreira and Lucas Pereira were 8-4 winners at No. 3.
"We have been working on our energy, especially in doubles," head coach Michael Engdahl said. "We saw major improvements this weekend."
Singles was more of the same, as SDSU won in straight sets at each position and no Jackrabbit lost more than four games in a single set.
H. Pereira was a 6-3, 6-4 winner at No. 1 and Moreira won 6-2, 6-2 at No. 2. Lawley did not lose a single game at No. 3 and L. Pereira was a 6-2, 6-1 winner at No. 4. Thorp dropped only one game at No. 5 and Luis Duque won 6-3, 6-1 at No. 6.
The shutout win upped SDSU's record to 2-6.
"Overall, it was a solid weekend of tennis for us," Engdahl said. "Every match we are taking baby steps forward. We need to all step up as individuals and as a team and win some matches we are not supposed to win. That is the big step forward we need to focus on and we have opportunities to do so our next couple matches."
The Jacks do not return to action until next month. SDSU visits Creighton on March 1 at 6 p.m. in Omaha, Neb.

DARK ISLAND Local organizations and municipalities showed support Tuesday for a plan to put the Thousand Islands-St. Lawrence River region on the map as a top scenic area in the state.
Organizations and municipalities in Jefferson and St. Lawrence counties gathered Tuesday with state representatives at Singer Castle to discuss their plans to designate the Thousand Islands-St. Lawrence region as a Scenic Area of Statewide Significance.
Singer Castle couldnt be a more perfect place to showcase what we have to offer here, Hammond Town Supervisor Ronald W. Bertram said.
The designation, through the state Department of States Office of Communities and Waterfronts, offers protection to scenic landscapes through review of projects requiring state or federal action, including direct actions, permits or funding.
Its recognized state and federal legislation that says the scenic areas are important and should be protected, said Barbara Kendall, coastal research specialist for the Department of State. It amends the coast boundary so if there was a federal or state action in that area, its given a higher level of review for state and federal action.
Mr. Bertram said he and his committee received a $75,000 matching grant from the North Country Regional Economic Development Council that will go toward the application. The grant will be split by 10 municipalities to fund in-kind research that will be included in the SASS application packet, Mr. Bertram said.
Those who participated in Tuesdays kickoff meeting will be part of a project advisory group that will help identify areas that will be designated for scenic significance.
As part of method planning, advisory group members would collect maps, aerial photos, and historical and planning studies anything that would show the scenic, historical or cultural significance of the area, Ms. Kendall said. Those will then all be reviewed as part of the application.
An unlimited number of areas can be designated up to 3 miles inland from the coastal boundary, according to officials.
This would definitely help our efforts as far as land conservation, said Jake R. Tibbles, executive director of the Thousand Islands Land Trust. This would help us better protect resources in our area.
The ultimate goal of the project is to gain name recognition and to promote the area to tourists, Mr. Bertram said.
This regional approach is a great thing, he said. If you want to get a grant, I cant think of anything that will help us more than this SASS designation.
Mr. Bertram said he hopes to submit the application in the spring.

STARS 5 ISLANDERS 4 (SHOOTOUT)Tavares has concussion; Weight stars in comeback
FanHouse: CB with reaction on Tavares' concussion
11:00 pm, NVMC: After falling behind 2-0 after the first period – including a second goal that Rick DiPietro called "horrendous" on his part – the Islanders rallied from a deficit of 4-2 in the third period to tie the game. They got a point in the standings, but lost in the shootout when Mike Ribeiro scored the only goal.
Besides the impressive comeback, a storyline of equal importance was the Islanders losing John Tavares to what the team termed a mild concussion. Tavares suffered the injury on a hit by Dallas forward Adam Burish late in the first period. The Islanders announced that Tavares will be re-evaluated on Monday, so they should be without their No. 1 center when they host the Rangers on Columbus Day.
1. Doug Weight – The captain truly does look like a new man. Weight had a goal and two assists. Said Scott Gordon, "He made some plays he just couldn't have last year."
2. Brenden Morrow – The Stars' captain was just as good, scoring two goals. With Modano and Turco gone, this is really his team now.
3. Josh Bailey – As one national broadcaster, watching the game, texted to me, "Bailey is playing with diesel now."
4. James Wisniewski – One goal, one assist and one mammoth hit in the third period that prompted Rex Ryan to say, "Now that's what I'm talking about"!
5. Brad Richards – There's a reason the Rangers hope they can recruit him as their No. 1 center next summer.
Unsung Hero: Mike Mottau. "Great signing by Garth to get a player like that so late in the offseason," said Gordon. Exactly. Over 21:06, Mottau was better than steady.
Wow, He's Good: James Neal didn't get on the scoresheet, but now we have a better understanding of why the Stars consider him a cornerstone.
Reader Comment of the Week: (tie, both on the Islanders' radio deal with Hofstra)
Ethan K: "We have 18 year olds on the ice. You're worried about them running a friggin radio station?!"
Sidd Finch: "Any chance the Shinnecocks have put in a bid for the smoke signal rights?"
NYI Performance – 7: They shot from everywhere, which is good but a little misleading for the shot totals (47-22). They battled hard in the second period and still did not give up down 4-2 seven minutes into the third. For a team dealing with so many key injuries, the glass was a little more than half-full after coming away with a point.
Power Play – 8: Islanders were 3-6 and distributed the puck well. At least for this night, no one was looking for Mark Streit.
Penalty Killing – 8: They were 1-6, including the killing of a 4-on-3 in overtime.
Goaltending – 5: DiPietro said after the game, "I let up a terrible second goal and the guys still came back." He knows he has to be much better.
Opponent – 7: For a team that played an overtime game last night in New Jersey, Dallas showed something playing a strong opening two periods. It was easy to see they had nothing left in their legs in overtime.
Game – 8: The comeback was dramatic, and the crowd showed its appreciation.
Event – 6: The game operations were sharp and exciting, but the night had less than an "event" feel with all those mostly-empty sections in the 200s and 300s behind the goal the Islanders defend twice. Announced attendance was 13,351 – 3,000 short of a sellout.
Crowd – 10: The fans that were there started off loud and proud from the parking lot two hours before the game until Ribeiro's shootout goal.

The news on Christmas Eve that a U.S. Army brigade will begin sending small teams into as many as 35 African nations in 2013 indicates a still-expanding role for an all-volunteer Army that has been stretched nearly to the breaking point in recent years by a nearly nine-year war in Iraq and the ongoing war in Afghanistan now in its 11th year.
According to the Associated Press report, teams from the 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division will "target" countries including Libya, Sudan, Algeria and Niger, where al-Qaeda-linked groups have been active. The mission will also will assist nations such as Kenya and Uganda that have been battling al-Shabaab militants on the front lines in Somalia, the AP reported.
Concerns about terrorist threats in Africa have grown in part from reports of a rise of al-Qaeda-linked groups on the continent, including the Boko Haram in Nigeria. They have also been heightened by this year's September 11 attack by militants on the U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. The level of security at the facility and the alleged failures of the U.S. intelligence and military to detect and defend against the attack have been subjects of heated debate in Washington ever since.
The Army mission in Africa will be to conduct a wide array of exercises and training programs among the African nations, whose great diversity of languages and culture is expected to create a considerable challenge for the mission. Col. Matthew McKenna, who will begin training soldiers for the mission at Fort Riley, Kansas in March, described the difficulties that the language barriers alone present.

This is the home page of the SPIRAL project. The goal of SPIRAL is to push the limits of automation in software and hardware development and optimization for digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms and other numerical kernels beyond what is possible with current tools.
Our basic research question is
Can we teach computers to write fast libraries?
Our flagship is the SPIRAL program generation system, which, entirely autonomously, generates platform-tuned implementations of signal processing transform such as the discrete Fourier transform, discrete cosine transform, and many others. Look at a few benchmarks. But we also provide other online generators (see the right column).
SPIRAL addresses one of the current key problems in numerical software and hardware development: how to achieve close to optimal performance with reasonable coding effort? (More detailed problem statement.)
SPIRAL comprises an interdisciplinary team of researchers in the areas of signal processing, algorithms, scientific computing, compilers, computer architecture, and mathematics.
In the domain of linear transform, and for standard multicore platforms (Core 2 Duo like), we have achieved complete automation: the computer generation of general input-size, vectorized, parallel libraries.
Ongoing Research

text: A Union Pacific train engineer inspects cars and rails after a train accident reportedly injured a 30-year-old man on Sunday evening. Witnesses reported that the man's arm had been amputated near the elbow by a train near the D Street crossing in Helper. It is unclear what the man was doing near the tracks, though initial reports indicated that he may have been placing coins on the track when the train started moving. Helper fire department and police responded to the scene and the victim was transported to Castleview Hospital by Carbon County ambulance. Train traffic through the Union Pacific rail yard came to a halt as law enforcement and train officials investigated the accident.
