Another way with beets
Roast 250g beetroots as above. Cut a 100g pack goat's cheese (with rind) in half. Place on baking parchment on a baking sheet, then bake in the oven for the final 7 mins until melted. Toss 100g bag salad leaves with 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil and seasoning. Serve with the beetroot and top with the melted cheese.
- Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Peel and trim the beetroots (use kitchen gloves if you don't want your hands to get stained) and cut into large wedges. Place on a large sheet of foil on a baking sheet. Toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, season, then cook for 1 hr until the beets are soft.
- Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil with the butter in an ovenproof pan with a lid. Tip in the onion and garlic, then cook for 3-5 mins until translucent. Stir in the rice until well coated with the butter and oil. Pour over the white wine, then let the mixture bubble away for 5 mins.
- Stir well, then pour over the stock. Stir again, cover and place in the oven. Cook for 15 mins until the rice is soft. Remove the beetroots from the oven. Whizz ¼ of them to make a purée, then chop the remainder into small pieces. Stir most of the Parmesan, the beetroot purée and chopped beetroot through the risotto, then serve with some soured cream dolloped over and the dill and extra Parmesan scattered on top.

Comments, questions and tips
Really lovely recipe! Risotto is a traditional italian dish with endless variants. It is excellent with vegetables, legumes, meat or seafood. Have a look to this recipe http://worldrecipes.expo2015.org/en/recipe-wholemeal_carnaroli_rice_with... made with real Carnaroli rice. This rice is something different!
I do baked risotto a LOT and this one will not be repeated. It took 35 minutes in the oven and then I had to finish it on the hob. Taste wasn't remarkable although didn't have dill and I used pre boiled beetroot rather than roasting it. Check out the bacon and tomato baked risotto on here - it's amazing, and the one I shall be sticking with!
Lovely! Rice was creamier than when done on the stove top which surprised me. Having read the other comments I used feta instead of Parmesan and think that was the right choice. Also thanks to other comments I baked the beetroot whole wrapped on foil and removed the skin once cooked so to didn't dry out. Will definitely make again.
Loved, loved, loved this. Followed advice of previous posts and used feta (rather than parmesan) the saltiness of which cut perfectly across the sweetness of the beetroot. Forgot to buy dill but would make again without it. Agree that it's really serves 3, rather than 4, and we used twice the amount of beetroot.
This was simple and tasty!
I changed it a bit to suit what we had in the cupboard - some oven roasted beetroot and some pre-cooked from a packet, Gallow 3 grains (rice, spelt and barley) instead of just rice, saki instead of white wine, grana padano cheese instead of parmesan and coriander instead of dill (went really well!). Also popped some peas in there, too.
The only thing was that the liquid wasn't all absorbed after 15 mins in the oven so I moved it to the stove top and stirred it until it had. Will definitely do again, was thinking a tiny little dollop with a slice of black pudding on top would be an amazing starter... looks incredible too because of the vivid colour.
This was really easy to make and delicious - loved it! I had to leave the risotto in the oven for an extra 10 minutes without the lid on so that all the liquid was absorbed, but apart from that, worked a treat! I ate it with a rocket salad and no sour cream or dill as was just using up ingredients when I made this the first time and it tasted great with the salad too
This is the first baked risotto I've enjoyed. Normally I don't enjoy the texture as much but this was lovely and it's so convenient being able to just pop it in the oven and leave it. The flavours were very tasty and the sour cream and dill really made it. I used a mixture of golden and normal beetroot, which was nice but it took a bit longer than an hour to roast. I confess that I was too lazy to bother getting the food processor out just to puree a quarter of it, so I just mashed it up a bit. I also found that after roasting, the beetroot had shrunk rather a lot so I put a handful of peas in too which worked surprisingly well. Regarding portions, I don't think this really serves 4 as a main course. Three of us polished this off easily. All in all, this is a really tasty, unusual risotto that went down well with vegetarians and carnivores alike and I'll definitely make it again.

Ballet dancers are singularly creative people, but the ballet world can be a difficult environment for choreographers. Mounting a show of your own work requires dancers, studio space, a performance venue—a whole bunch of moving parts that are difficult (and expensive) to coordinate.That's where the Capezio A.C.E. Award competition comes in. For the past five years now, the contest has awarded one choreographer each year a $15,000 production budget to go toward their own show in New York City.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (WUSA) -- An Alexandria family is desperately searching for their loved one who's been missing for two weeks.
Superstorm Sandy hindered search and rescue operations for 64-year-old Mohammad Yazdani.
This morning was the first time Fairfax County Police have had a chance to resume the search. Dogs and search teams scoured Huntley Meadows Park, the last area blood hounds received a scent.
But that was before the storms. Yazdani suffers from dementia and his daughters, Myra and Frishta, are distraught and hoping they find their father.
Yazdani has walked away before but never for this long. He was only wearing sweat pants and a sweatshirt when he disappeared.

Value for Tennessee (Minutes): 23.9
Data item: Average travel time to work for workers 16 years and over not working at home, 2006-2010
Source: U. S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey, 5-Year Estimates. Updated every year. http://factfinder2.census.gov
Travel time to work refers to the total number of minutes that it usually took the person to get from home to work each day during the reference week. The elapsed time includes time spent waiting for public transportation, picking up passengers in carpools, and time spent in other activities related to getting to work.
Data were tabulated for workers 16 years old and over--that is, members of the Armed Forces and civilians who were at work during the reference week--who reported that they worked outside their home.
Mean travel time to work is obtained by dividing the total number of minutes by the number of workers 16 years old and over who did not work at home. Mean travel time to work is rounded to the nearest tenth of a minute.
Scope and Methodology:
These data are collected in the American Community Survey (ACS). The data are estimates and are subject to sampling variability. The data for each geographic area are presented together with margins of error at factfinder2.census.gov. The data are period estimates, that is, they represent the characteristics of the population and housing over a specific 60-month data collection period.

Carbon's pressure defense helps drive them past rival Emery High 56-30
The Carbon High girl's basketball team has a list of keys they follow in every game they play. It's their formula for team success.
Throw in some defense, a little fast break offense, good team passing and converting free throws. Add in a large amount of Carbon's pressure defense and the formula is complete.
On Tuesday night, Carbon's formula for success was working in full force as Carbon jumped out to a large first quarter lead and never looked back as they defeated the rival Emery High Spartans 56-30 at the Carbon High gymnasium.
Carbon High wasted no time in getting off to a hot start as they employed their pressure defense on the Lady Spartans, which resulted in turnovers and scoring opportunities for Carbon. It was the main reason for Carbon's big lead at the end of the first quarter 18-4, according to head coach Ted Bianco.
"We played great defense all throughout the game," Bianco said.
In their second meeting of the season, Carbon used the same formula as they did in their previous 49-30 victory against the Lady Spartans back on Dec. 1.
"Any time we can get steals and put pressure on our opponents is key for us. We played how we wanted to play the game," Bianco said.
In the second quarter Carbon (5-2) continued to apply pressure which kept Emery (1-5) off balance and forced them into rushed shots or with a Carbon defender within distance of disrupting the shot.
Emery High was able to bounce back in the second quarter outscoring Carbon 11-10 heading into halftime at a deficit of 28-15.
Carbon came out of halftime and quickly went to work with their pressure defense blowing the game open as they extended their 13-point lead at the half to 23 points by the end of the third quarter.
The Dinos lead was extended thanks in part to a number of stops defensively and the fast break offense they like to employ during a game.
In the fourth quarter, it was more of the same story as Carbon continued to apply pressure on the Lady Spartans.
Carbon High senior Miranda Averett converted on a number of fast break chances in the second half as she finished with a team-high 24 points. Fellow seniors Rachel Scoggins and Regan Powell finished with 10 and 8 points respectively.
Bianco said he was pleased with the play of the team's bench as they did not let up on the defensive side of the ball when they entered the game.
"Our bench players came in and did very well," he said.
While he was pleased with the result, Bianco said the team needs to work on cutting down the amount of fouls they commit in games and work on making better passes on offense.
The team is preparing to enter into Region 12 play after the beginning of the new year and Bianco said the team is ready for the challenges that lay ahead.
"Winning on our home court is a positive for us. We just need to keep doing what we're doing to win games by playing good defense and making our shots on offense," he said.

Four Things to Know About Manhattanhenge
by AMNH on
Four nights a year, the streets of Manhattan's grid become the site for a spectacular sunset phenomenon known as Manhattanhenge. Below are answers to frequently asked questions about this event.
What is Manhattanhenge?
As Director of the Hayden Planetarium Neil deGrasse Tyson, who discovered the phenomenon and coined the term "Manhattanhenge," explains in his Hayden Planetarium blog, Manhattanhenge takes place "when the setting Sun aligns precisely with the Manhattan street grid, creating a radiant glow of light across Manhattan's brick and steel canyons, simultaneously illuminating both the north and south sides of every cross street of the borough's grid. A rare and beautiful sight."
Countdown to the Transit of Venus on June 5
by AMNH on
Astrophysicist Jackie Faherty is blogging about the upcoming transit of Venus, which will take place next week. In her first post, she explains what the transit is, when it occurs, where she will be observing it—and where New Yorkers can catch a glimpse of the phenomenon.
A rare astronomical event is upon us: our sister planet Venus is about to transit our Sun. Depending on your geographic location, this means that the distant planet will glide across the face of the Sun appearing as a small black dot for several hours. Just like the Moon will sometimes pass between the Earth and the Sun, causing a solar eclipse, so do the innermost planets Venus and Mercury. However, since Venus and Mercury are many times more distant to us than the Moon, and since their orbits are not perfectly aligned with that of the Earth, transits of the inner planets are far more rare than solar eclipses and the shadows they cast are smaller. But the event is no less dramatic and unfolds over several hours rather than mere minutes.
Richard Gilder Graduate School Holds First Ph.D. Defense

In the first Ph.D. defense held by the Richard Gilder Graduate School, Sebastian Kvist today successfully defended his dissertation about blood-feeding leeches, paving the way for him to receive his doctoral degree from the Museum.
Protecting Potato Diversity in Peru

Over the next two weeks, a team from Science Bulletins, the Museum's multimedia online and exhibition program, will visit Peru to film a short documentary about protecting potato biodiversity in the region. Producer Tania Van Bergen, who is traveling to Lima and to the Huancavelica region, will be sending photos and dispatches from her trip in the coming weeks.
Researchers Broaden Reach of Virus Tracking Software
by AMNH on
A web-based application that tracks dangerous viruses as they spread has been restructured to allow even wider use of the program around the world. SUPRAMAP, a program that synthesizes large, diverse datasets to help researchers understand the evolution of infectious diseases across hosts and geography, was developed in 2007 by the Museum, The Ohio State University, and the Ohio Superconductor Center. In a recent paper in the journal Cladistics, researchers from these institutions describe how they reconfigured SUPRAMAP's server to let researchers and public safety officials develop their own applications for the program.

POTSDAM - The SUNY Potsdam basketball and hockey teams went a combined 3-3 against conference rivals last week as they gear up for the close of their respective regular seasons.
The mens basketball team split 1-1 over the weekend. On Friday, Potsdam hosted Geneseo for Bear Pride Night and a Pink Out in support of the Kay Yow Breast Cancer fund. The Bears used the energy from a large crowd to surge past the Knights, 75-61. A last second three pointer by senior guard Josh Lambert (Brooklyn, N.Y.) would give the Bears the 35-29 lead at halftime. Potsdam would hold off an early run by Geneseo in the second half to cruise to the win. Senior guard Mark Lake, Jr. (Harlem, N.Y.) and junior forward Rob Duquette (Peru, N.Y.) finished with 17 points apiece. On Saturday, the Bears hosted Brockport for Senior Day in Welsh Gymnasium. Josh Lambert, Curtis Pierce (Brooklyn, N.Y.), Mark Lake, Jr. and Corey Ellis (Beacon, N.Y.) were all honored for their contributions to the program. However, the Golden Eagles were able to spoil the day and secure a 73-60 victory. Pierce led the Bears with 24 points and nine rebounds.
The womens basketball team hosted Geneseo and Brockport this past weekend. The lady Bears sported pink jerseys for Bear Pride Night and the Pink Out in support for the Kay Yow Breast Cancer fund.
Potsdam fell to a top ranked SUNY Geneseo squad 74-33. Freshman forward Katie LaVoie (Malone, N.Y.) led the Bears with eight points. On Saturday, Potsdam took on Brockport in their final game of the weekend.
The Golden Eagles were able to edge the Bears, 62-57. Senior guard Katy Briedis (Canton, N.Y.) finished with a game-high 18 points and junior forward Jessica Kouzan (Webster, N.Y.) added 10 points.
The mens hockey team swept Brockport and Geneseo in dramatic fashion this past weekend. On Friday, the Bears defeated Brockport in overtime, 4-3.
The game was tightly contested right down to the final play. The Golden Eagles would hold a 3-2 advantage late in the third period. With 46 seconds left, Head Coach Chris Bernard called timeout and pulled junior goalie Shane Talarico (Greensburg, Pa.) for an extra attacker. Senior captain Matt Viola (Toronto, Ontario) was able to tie the score 3-3 as time had nearly expired with an assist from sophomore forward Trevor Cope (Swartz Creek, Mich.) to send the game to overtime. In the extra period, Potsdam outshot the Golden Eagles 4-0. The decisive volley came with 2:17 remaining. Freshman forward Billy Pascalli (Deer Park, N.Y.) tipped a shot from the point past the Brockport goalie to secure the comeback victory. On Saturday, Potsdam upended No. 14 ranked Geneseo in another overtime win, 4-3. This time it was the Bears that would give up the late goal to head into extra time. The Bears would hold a 3-1 advantage going into the third period of play. The Ice Knights stormed back with two goals in the final three minutes of the contest to send it into overtime. However, it was Potsdam who came out on top. In the early stages of overtime, junior defenseman Kevin Carpenter (Denver, Colo.) flipped the puck up over the Geneseo defense and sophomore Ken Simon (Norwell, Mass.) picked it up in stride in the neutral zone. He raced the length of the ice and wristed the puck past the Knights goalie for the game-winner just 40 seconds into the extra session.
The womens hockey team hosted #1 ranked Plattsburgh on Sunday in ECAC West play. The top ranked team in the land blanked the Bears 6-0 in the win. Junior forward Ali Vakos led the Cardinals with two goals and an assist and junior forward Chelsea VanGlahn also had a three-point day with a goal and two assists. Bears senior goalie Jen Conophy made 40 saves.
Junior goalie Sydney Aveson finished with 15 saves for her sixth shutout of the season.
Junior Shane Talarico is the Bears male performer of the week. Talarico won two games this weekend to help the Bears back into playoff contention.
On Friday, Talarico came off the bench after Potsdams starter was lost to injury. He made 22 saves in a 4-3 overtime victory against Brockport. On Saturday, the junior stopped 24 shots in a 4-3 overtime win against 14th ranked Geneseo. It was his third career victory and his first collegiate win as a starting goalie.
Senior Katy Briedis is the Bears female performer of the week. Briedis finished with a game-high 18 points and five assists in a close contest versus Brockport on Saturday. The senior currently leads the Lady Bears with 12.5, 59 assists, and 32 steals.
The basketball teams return to action this evening when they travel to rival SUNY Plattsburgh. Tipoff is set for is slated for 6 p.m. for the womens game and 8 p.m. for the mens.
The womens hockey team hosts Buffalo State Saturday and Sunday with a playoff spot on the line. The Bears face the Bengals at 7 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Both games are slated for Cheel Arena.
The mens hockey team closes out the regular season this weekend at the Massena Arena. On Friday, Potsdam hosts No. 2 Oswego and unranked Cortland the following evening. Both games are scheduled for 7 p.m.
The swimming and diving teams return to the pool on Wednesday, February 20, for the SUNYAC Championships in Buffalo, N.Y. at Erie Community College.

I can't believe no one has mentioned a bivy made from Unobtanium!An Unobtanium bivy would definitely will cover all those conditions.
you sir have won the internet.
>you sir have won the internet.LOL
"An Unobtanium bivy would definitely will cover all those conditions."Indeed. And it will float so no ground water issue. Alas, the OP has deemed that he is not made of money and hence, it will be out of his price range.Excellent choice, however.
Honestly Max, like others are saying, it's tough to find one bivy that will perform all that you want it to in all kinds of conditions. A bivy with a solid top made out of a breathable water resistant fabric can work well in snowy or wet and windy conditions but can be a sauna in warm, buggy conditions. A bug bivy is great for warmer nights and/or bug season but might not provide enough protection from the elements in a really wild weather event.To some extent, you're going to have to compromise somewhere; either accept some loss of breathibility in favor of more weather protection or accept a loss of some weather protection in favor of more breathibility. Only you can decide what's more important for you and your intended use.Just as an aside, you could easily get one of each style of bivy (a bug bivy and a breathable DWR bivy) together for under $200 by ordering from someone like Borah Gear. There's probably others too. Then you have the flexibility to take whichever bivy better suits your anticipated conditions. Each one could probably weigh in under 7 or 8 oz.You don't have to spend a fortune...
"Yeah, I mean, I didn't say anything about snow. I just feel like if you make a Bivy thread and someone reccomends a Notch, it's off-track."I was the one who suggested the Notch inner nettent with partial solid sides, since you're so concerned about splash. I did not suggest a Notch; you purchase the solid nettent separately. John at BearPaw designs can also make reasonably priced inners out of materials of your choice.

Anyone else scratching their head about why Max chose a second shelter for a specific set of weather conditions that itself doesn't work for those conditions?So Max, why the Trailstar if it doesn't do the job you're buying it to do? And the mini trailstar at that...a shelter that isn't even released or tested yet
What Stephen said: The Integral Designs eVent bag IS the gold standard of breathable bivy bags.DISCLAIMER: Being of the "tenter persuasion" I need a bivy bag only for snow shelters and that requires a WPB bag.
Edited by Danepacker on 03/06/2013 17:00:07 MST.
" If not, send it back, and I'll refund your money.Sounds like a common sense approach to solve the question :)"David, you are very generous. I love these forums. If the Uber bivy is the bivy for me, I'll figure it out in the long run, and I won't need a return because I don't doubt it's reputation will stand!
Hey guys,I'm not ignoring anyone's advice, I'm not saying anyone's wrong. Don't get rowdy ;) I've seen threads go this way before. Relax!I'll try to shore up a couple things:1. I came here with a pretty good idea of what I was looking for, based on the areas I expect to go, the speed I want to set up at, the weight I want to carry, and the type of conditions I know exist (because I've been in them several times). Modularity is another factor. I didn't ask what the best option was because I didn't need to; I know what I'm ready to try out. A good tarp and a bivy. Other people do it, too, not just me.My OP is specific!2. People are latching onto whether I have money or not. Get over it! I'll take care of my finances, you can ignore that. I just wanted to imply that being a "budget" bivy wouldn't impact my decision, only functionality. 3. I now have some understanding that e-Vent is the best WPB fabric for this, and I understand the limits of ALL types of Bivys. All I'm trying to figure out is who's making an e-Vent bivy with a bugnet opening around the hood today.That's it!Read #3 again! That's the limit of my questions!Remember that stuff I said in the OP? That was six pages ago. I have learned, and my opinion and expectations have grown, too. My OP is ancient history thanks to so many people's good advice.I feel like it's falling on deaf ears, but THANK YOU for your help. Don't stop being helpful to ridicule me because you *think* I'm some fool who's ignoring advice and looking for a perfect shelter that doesn't exist.
Max,I think your options are this - want UL and fairly breathable, go with any number of the DWR nylon 6 oz bivys out there. If you can live with less UL, but more breathable, give the Uber Bivy a shot. Given the fabrics involved I think it will breathe fairly well. It's also pretty roomy which I think was something you are looking for too. Don't shoot me if I'm wrong here, this is a long thread. :)Worse case scenario - you buy the Uber Bivy and it sucks. Get your money back. Ryan
Edited by ViolentGreen on 03/06/2013 19:03:34 MST.
Thanks Ryan,I'm already in touch with David about the nitty-gritty of the Uber bivy. It's almost a guarantee that I'm going to be testing it out.
Max,Chill out mate :-) sounds like it an MLD event Bivy with bug net is what you want.Have has Ron Bell got back to you yet?
Ron Bell has not, so I can't count on the MLD eVent bivy. I have looked at it before and I agree, it's a solid choice, but if it's unavailable I will have to look elsewhere.For the price (almost 400 if memory serves) I'm sure it's a cut above most others. Or at least, it better be! Haha.
I've no first hand knowledge of any of these, but it looks like Exped, Rab and Locus Gear all offer eVent bivies. Most, if not all offer a style with bug netting over your face. You could probably contact the companies directly or one of their vendors (in the case of Exped and Rab) and have them special order one for you.
Nico,If I don't get in touch with MLD, or if the Uber bivy ends up being slightly different than what I'm looking for, I'll start down that path. My last resort is to go to vendors and ask for custom orders, if there's an already produced bivy that looks right for me.
Normally Ron is fairly handy at replying, maybe try him on Facebook if you are a member.I know Rab and Integral Deigns used make event bivys with with bug mesh.
Exped's site appears to be malfunctioning. The bivy page has rocks on it, but no products...http://www.exped.com/exped/web/exped_homepage_na.nsf/b43HomePageE?openframeset
Max, I just meant if the shop normally carries Rab or Exped but not the particular bivy model you decide you want, they can likely order one for you. Not suggesting you commission Rab to make you a custom bivy.Re: Exped's site, try here:http://www.exped.com/exped/web/exped_homepage_int.nsf/0/77CDB11B04309DC6C1256F2B002E724D?opendocumentNote, this is from their international rather than USA site, hence the possible need for a "special" order or buy it from a UK or similar site and have it shipped.
Edited by NickB on 03/06/2013 19:29:38 MST.

|Hiked up with my kids. The trail was relatively short and steep. There were few hikers that day, and we had the lookout cabin to ourselves for quite a while. The views were outstanding! I understand now why this is a classic. I WILL do it again!

|A Great End To A Very Long Day!
Date Climbed: Jul 25, 2010
|I had a BBQ to attend the previous day, which made my plans for a two-day trip to the Skamania CoHP and High Rock harder to accomplish... so I turned it into a long single-day excursion. Who needs sleep? Apparently, not me... zzzzzz... I immediately left the BBQ, drove down 5+ hours for the Skamania CoHP, and then a while later did that... it took 9-1/2 hours roundtrip using the Stagman Ridge approach. Then I immediately drove far north, and then east, to the High Rock trailhead and summited that mountain shortly thereafter. I was glad to get the Skamania CoHP and the Lewis CoGPP out of the way in one trip. Great views of Mount Rainier from High Rock!!! Highly recommended!!!

|Tagged this one after doing Shriner Peak earlier in the day (made for a nice 11.6 mile, 4900 foot gain day). A fun, fairly steep little hike with a great payoff at the top. Amazing views of Rainier and Goat Rocks and even Adams looked nice in the distance. My feet felt like they were glued to the ground on the way up, but still made it in 50 minutes. 30 minutes back down with a stop at the viewpoint a few hundred feet below the summit for some pictures. Made it back to the trailhead just as the sun was setting, when I saw a 'UFO' hovering over the Tatoosh. Great end to a fun day.

|Had done one in the Goat Rocks earlier in the day and was going to do another this afternoon but ran out of time. Snuck in and got this one done instead. Pretty constant climb on the short hike in. 1400 feet in about a mile and a half. Did it in about 40 minutes or so. Only had small glimpses of Rainier. Hiked back down the cliff edge on the way back.

Painting tomorrow's memories today"... that's how Tom Sierak likes to describe his pastel paintings. He says, "People often talk about the good ol' days and how nice it would be to return to them. I believe that the times we live in and have lived in, are always the 'good ol'days. Although people, places, and things may change around us, the bonds that exist between children, parents, grandparents, and close friends never do. I enjoy painting those seemingly uneventful daily occurrences of warmth and emotion that make up the whole fabric of our lives. Like the artists before me, I imagine my late 20th century and early 21st century portraits of everyday life in today's America will some day provide future viewers' of my work a window into their past." The New Englander's medium of choice is pastels. He feels that they're just starting to receive widespread recognition. Tom says, "I favor pastels because I'm able to draw and color simultaneously, and I love to draw. It's a great combination for me." Pastels are made from the same pigments used for oil paints. A binding agent is added to create a chalk-like stick, which is applied to a textured surface, usually paper. Available in many vibrant colors, pastels maintain their just-painted look indefinitely, unlike oils, which can crack and darken over time. "It's an unfamiliar medium to many people, and I'd like to do my part to help change that," says Sierak. A Graduate of the Vesper George School in Boston, Tom's work is published worldwide as wall prints, greeting cards, puzzles, cross stitch kits, note cards, & collector plates, to name a few.

ALBANY State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, said she tentatively supports keeping the personal data of pistol permit carriers out of the public eye.
Right now if you were to call up you can find out if someone has a pistol permit, Mrs. Ritchie said.
Mrs. Ritchie said having the information available helps to provide a certain measure of public safety, but she doesnt think it should be broadcast by media outlets.
Im waiting to see what the leadership does, Mrs. Ritchie said.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, is introducing legislation later this week that will prevent the public from having access to the personal information of pistol permit carriers.
This comes after the Journal News, White Plains, published the names and addresses of all pistol permit carriers in Westchester and Rockland counties in December, including law enforcement agents.
Mrs. Russell is including the protection of pistol permit carriers in a larger bill that will increase the penalties for murdering a first responder.
Marks Law, named for a Cape Vincent emergency medical technician who was murdered while responding to an emergency call in 2009, was originally proposed by Mrs. Ritchie, but failed to pass the Assembly in 2012.
Mrs. Russell is including her new proposals in an updated version of Marks Law she hopes will gain the support of her chamber.

Apple Ordered to Publicly Exonerate Samsung in UK
A UK judge isn't trying to rub salt in the wound his court inflicted on Apple. He just wants customers to get the word: Samsung isn't a copycat. Toward that end, Judge Colin Birss has ordered Apple to publicly acknowledge as much on its UK website and in newspapers, which could complicate things in other legal jurisdictions, where Apple is still arguing that Samsung blatantly infringed.
Jul 19, 2012 9:37 AM PT
A UK judge is stepping up the pressure on Apple, and possibly complicating its legal strategies in other parts of the world, by ordering it to publish a notice on its UK website and in British newspapers stating that Samsung did not copy the iPad design. The notice must stay on Apple's website for six months.
The order follows Judge Colin Birss' ruling earlier this month that Samsung's Galaxy Tab did not infringe on Apple's iPad design. The decision was a bitter blow to Apple, which is battling Samsung on this issue in several legal jurisdictions.
The Perils of the Information Age
While the order will likely be a galling one for Apple to fulfill, the judge's intention is not to humiliate the company, Peter S. Vogel, a partner with Gardere Wynne Sewell, told MacNewsWorld.
"With the proliferation of information on the Internet, there clearly can be, and is, all kinds of misinformation about products and companies available for consumers to read," he said. The judge probably wanted to give Samsung the opportunity to clear its name in this particular matter.
'Not Cool Enough'
The turn of events over the last month have no doubt been pleasing to Samsung, which has often found itself on the losing end of patent litigation with Apple over this issue.
Last year, Apple began stepping up its legal onslaught against Samsung, alleging it violated several of its patents for the iPad with its Galaxy Tab. At one point, the South Korean manufacturer was subjected to a Europe-wide injunction issued by a German court against the sale of the device.
Apple's arguments were based largely on the similar look and feel of the two devices. Samsung's defense was that Apple was trying to include attributes that were not part of its patent, such as tablet size.
Judge Birss also appeared to resort to intangibles in his decision-making, however, at least in part, and Samsung came out the winner. One of the reasons consumers were unlikely to confuse the two tablets, he reportedly said in the July 9 order, was that Samsung's tablets were "not as cool."
Apple has said it will appeal that ruling.
A Worldwide Impact
Assuming Apple does have to comply with Birss' order, its ramifications for other legal cases pending around the globe are unclear. It certainly can be said, though, that from Apple's perspective, any statement on its part that Samsung did not copy its design would not be good, said Peter Toren, an attorney with Weisbrod Matteis & Copley.
The impact will come down to technical and legal arguments, he told MacNewsWorld. "The first issue is how similar is the UK patent compared to the other Apple patents at issue in other litigation? Is Apple making the same claims or arguments, or are there different issues at stake?"
Even if the claims and arguments are similar, that doesn't necessarily mean foreign courts will rely on the UK court's finding, he said. "Certainly, though, it can be considered on some level."
Uniformity in the EU
In Europe, however, Apple may have to concede certain positions, depending on how the appeal comes down, noted Vogel.
"Patent laws vary around the world," he said, "but the Treaty of Rome, which dictates how patent laws are written and enforced in the EU, tries to maintain some level of uniformity."
Apple and Samsung did not respond to our requests to comment for this story.

Gov. Mike Leavitt is recommending a $35 million increase in public education funding in 2003.
The lion's share of the revenues will come in a proposed 1.35 percent increase in weighted pupil unit funding.
But the governor's recommendations fall short of the Utah Board of Education's budget requests.
"Unfortunately, the state's economic picture has changed. Utah educators know this," said superintendent of public instruction Steven Laing.
Leavitt recommends a 1.35 percent or $23,400,400 increase in the WPU.
The weighted pupil unit money represents funds released to public schools based on student attendance numbers.
The state board had requested a 3 percent increase in WPU funding from the state, amounting to $49,299,424.
Leavitt's recommended $35 million increase in state funding amounts to nearly $74 per student during the course of a school year.
The governor's total public education budget recommendation is $2,375,065,000.
Fall 2001 enrollment counts show Utah has 477,801 students in public and charter schools.
Pupils are taught by nearly 22,000 licensed teachers in more than 800 schools throughout the state.
Utah Education Association President Phyllis Sorensen and Leavitt agreed on one thing - it is important for the state to maintain the momentum in the state's public school system.
Despite the fact the state is in the midst of a recession and facing a $200 million shortfall in the current budget, the governor said he wants to "keep the momentum going" in education.
"I wish it were a rosier year, but it's not," pointed out Leavitt during a briefing at the Capitol in Salt Lake City.
The governor said the proposed budget is "responsible," but includes no additional tax increases.
The governor indicated the state arrived at the 1.35 percent WPU figure because that is the amount employee health insurance costs are expected to increase in 2003.
The economic downturn "was inevitable," said Sorensen. "That's why the UEA took dramatic action last year, urging the Utah Legislature to develop a long-term funding plan for public schools."
The education community has worked hard to build good programs in the schools, according to the UEA official.
It is projected that by 2010, a total of 100,000 new students will enter Utah public schools, according to the UEA.
"That means we will need 4,000 new classrooms or 172 new schools," pointed out Sorensen . "We'll also need 4,000 new teachers to educate these students."

text: Slow Fish is back at the Genoa Fair from May 27 to 30, 2011. The biennial international event dedicated to the world of fish and marine ecosystems has now reached its fifth edition. Debates, meetings, workshops and tastings will focus on issues linked to sustainable fishing and responsible seafood consumption. Slow Fish is organized by the Liguria Regional Authority and Slow Food, with the support of the Carige Foundation, the Province of Genoa, the Genoa Chamber of Commerce and the City of Genoa. The web portal www.slowfish.it, in Italian, English, French and Spanish, explores what's new for the 2011 edition, with information on bookable events and all the tastings, conferences and meetings in the program. One section is dedicated to the international Slow Fish campaigns, launched by Slow Food after Slow Fish 2009. The campaigns aim to inform consumers, promoting good, clean and fair fish and creating connections between all those working to make fishing and fish consumption sustainable. The guiding theme of Slow Fish 2011 is Small-scale fishers: A threatened species The 2009 edition was dedicated to fish species, and this year the spotlight turns on the people of the sea. Displays will be organized along a path from the past to the present: artisanal fishing as it used to be, what cultures it involved and what opportunities, hardships and skills; and small-scale fishing as it is now, how it has modernized, how it relates to the world and how it has suffered from globalization. The Market exhibition area will offer a rich display of fresh and preserved fish, oils, spices, salt, seaweed and other related products. All the exhibitors, Italian and international, have committed to not using artificial preservatives and flavors and will not sell bluefin tuna, swordfish, shark and salmon, species at risk of extinction. The Presidia of the Sea can also be found in the Market, offering concrete examples of how fishing communities can live in harmony with the ecosystem, preserving the marine fauna and adding value to their work by selling high-quality fresh fish and processed products. The two experiences organized in the Slow Food Education area, designed for the public and schoolchildren, offer both a look at the sea and its people and fishing techniques and rhythms from the fishermen's perspective, and also suggestions on how to select the best fish, read food labels and prepare delicious seafood at home. Chefs play a central role in consumer education, and so for the first time the Alliance Osteria will find a home at Slow Fish. Here, around 20 chefs from the Italian and international network will be preparing dishes based on Slow Food Presidia. The event will also see the return of the Water Workshops, opportunities for analysis and debate around key issues, and cooking demonstrations from chefs in the Theater of Taste. Not to mention the Osterias of the Sea, Street Food and Fishwiches, where visitors can sample gastronomic specialties from around Italy, all paired with excellent wines from the Enoteca. For the first time, Slow Fish 2011 will be extending beyond the pavilions of the Genoa Fiera to involve prestigious locations around the city, with conferences and meetings open to the public, organized in collaboration with the Festival of Science. The event organizers have taken a systemic approach to reducing its environmental impact, continuing the work begun by Slow Food at the Salone del Gusto 2006. The aim is to make a significant commitment in every aspect of the event, whether in the choice of recyclable display materials, goods transport, waste management or water and energy use.

14 U.S. Code § 92 - Secretary; general powers
For the purpose of executing the duties and functions of the Coast Guard the Secretary may within the limits of appropriations made therefor:
(a) establish, change the limits of, consolidate, discontinue, and re-establish Coast Guard districts;
(b) arrange with the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air Force to assign members of the Coast Guard to any school maintained by the Army, Navy, and Air Force, for instruction and training, including aviation schools;
(d) design or cause to be designed, cause to be constructed, accept as gift, or otherwise acquire vessels, and subject to applicable regulations under subtitle I of title 40 and division C (except sections 3302, 3501(b), 3509, 3906, 4710, and 4711) of subtitle I of title 41 dispose of them;
[(e) Repealed. Oct. 31, 1951, ch. 654, § 1(32),65 Stat. 702.]
(f) acquire land or interests in land, including acceptance of gifts thereof, where required for the purpose of carrying out any project or purpose for which an appropriation has been made;
(g) exchange land or interests in land in part or in full payment for such other land or interests in land as may be necessary or desirable, the balance of such part payment to be defrayable in accordance with other provisions of this section;
(h) exercise any of the powers vested by this title in the Commandant in any case in which the Secretary deems it appropriate; and
Source(Aug. 4, 1949, ch. 393, 63 Stat. 503; Oct. 31, 1951, ch. 654, §§ 1(32), 2 (9), 3 (3),65 Stat. 702, 707, 708; Pub. L. 97–295, § 2(4),Oct. 12, 1982, 96 Stat. 1301; Pub. L. 98–557, § 15(a)(3)(D),Oct. 30, 1984, 98 Stat. 2865; Pub. L. 107–217, § 3(c)(1),Aug. 21, 2002, 116 Stat. 1298; Pub. L. 111–350, § 5(c)(1),Jan. 4, 2011, 124 Stat. 3847.)
Historical and Revision Notes
This section grants broad general powers concerning policy matters to the Secretary. Many of the powers are contained in existing law but some are enlarged and some additional powers are added as explained following.
Subsection (a) is based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 95 (Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 601). Said section has been divided. The provision authorizing the Secretary to man stations seems more appropriately given to the operational head of the Service, the Commandant, and for that reason is incorporated in section 93 (c) of this title.
Subsection (b) is based on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 28, 42 (Aug. 16, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 601; July 3, 1926, ch. 742, § 11,44 Stat. 817). These sections were rewritten in order to broaden existing authority in regard to the training of Coast Guard personnel at schools of the other armed forces, thus approaching a practice of war time, and making for economy in the training of Service personnel; such training would be on a basis mutually satisfactory to the Secretaries involved.
Subsection (c) is based on R.S. 4242 and on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 29, 93, 94, 98a (R.S. 4245, 4249; May 4, 1882, ch. 117, § 2,22 Stat. 56; Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 601; June 6, 1940, ch. 257, § 4,54 Stat. 247; Aug. 6, 1947, ch. 502, 61 Stat. 786). This subsection broadens existing law in that it provides general legislative authority for the construction and disposal of shore establishments of all types including aviation stations.
Subsection (d) is based in part on title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 55, 57, 69, 109, and in part on title 31, U.S.C., 1946 ed., §§ 487, 720, (R.S. 2748, 3618, 3692; June 18, 1878, ch. 265, § 3,20 Stat. 163; Aug. 29, 1916, ch. 417, 39 Stat. 601). This subsection broadens existing law in that it provides general legislative authority for the design, construction, acquisition by other means, and disposal of vessels.
Subsection (e) is new. It is derived from title 14, U.S.C., 1946 ed., § 31b (June 6, 1941, ch. 177, 55 Stat. 247 [which was originally repealed by act June 30, 1949, ch. 288, title VI, § 602(a)(28),63 Stat. 399, renumbered Sept. 5, 1950, ch. 849, § 6(a), (b),64 Stat. 583]) which provides for the exchange of vehicles, planes, and engines; similar authority in relation to vessels, is granted to the Secretary by this subsection and should prove advantageous to the Government.

"(1) The Great Lakes are home to more than 400 lighthouses. One hundred and twenty of these maritime landmarks are in the State of Michigan.
"(2) Lighthouses are an important part of Great Lakes culture and stand as a testament to the importance of shipping in the region's political, economic, and social history.
"(3) Advances in navigation technology have made many Great Lakes lighthouses obsolete. In Michigan alone, approximately 70 lighthouses will be designated as excess property of the Federal Government and will be transferred to the General Services Administration for disposal.
"(4) Unfortunately, the Federal property disposal process is confusing, complicated, and not well-suited to disposal of historic lighthouses or to facilitate transfers to nonprofit organizations. This is especially troubling because, in many cases, local nonprofit historical organizations have dedicated tremendous resources to preserving and maintaining Great Lakes lighthouses.
"(5) If Great Lakes lighthouses disappear, the public will be unaware of an important chapter in Great Lakes history.
"(6) The National Trust for Historic Preservation has placed Michigan lighthouses on their list of Most Endangered Historic Places.
"(b) Assistance for Great Lakes Lighthouse Preservation Efforts.—The Secretary of the department in which the Coast Guard is operating, may—
"(1) continue to offer advice and technical assistance to organizations in the Great Lakes region that are dedicated to lighthouse stewardship; and

Wealthy Americans continued to pay the lion's share of federal income taxes.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., the Tax Foundation recently compiled data collected by the United States Internal Revenue Service.
Based on the IRS statistics, the non-partisan research organization concluded that the portion of total federal income tax paid by the top 15 percent of American wage earners increased from 25.2 percent in 1989 to 36.2 percent in 1999.
The top 5 percent of wage earners in the U.S. paid 55.5 percent of all federal income taxes in 1999 compared to 43.9 percent in 1989, indicated the foundation's recently released report.
The top 10 percent of American employees accounted for two-thirds of total federal income taxes, up from 55.8 percent in 1989.
The bottom 50 percent of workers employed at locations across the United States paid 4 percent of total income taxes generated nationwide in 1999.
The 1999 share decreased from the 5.8 percent burden assumed by the bottom group of American taxpayers in 1989.
The high-income Americans are paying an increasingly larger share of the federal tax burden for two reasons, pointed out the research report.
First, top wage earning U.S. citizens pay a significantly higher effective rate due to the progressive nature of the federal income tax code, noted the foundation report.
The disparity in tax rates between high and low income groups widened during the 1990s.
The effective rate for taxpayers in the top 1 percent of the American labor force increased from 23.3 percent in 1989 to 27.5 percent in 1999.
By comparison, the rate for the bottom 50 percent decreased from 5.1 percent to 4.5 percent during the decade.
The total average rate for all U.S. taxpayers increased from 13.1 percent in 1989 to 14.8 percent in 1999.
Second, high salaried Americans are earning a larger share of total income, noted the independent research report.
From 1989 to 1994, the share of wages or salaries earned by the top 1 percent of Americans decreased from 14.2 percent to 13.8 percent, noted the independent research report.
Between 1995 and 1999, the stock market run-up proved especially beneficial to higher income individuals residing at locations across the United States. However, the situation is likely to reverse significantly when the latest IRS statistics are compiled, pointed out the organization's analysis.
At the state level, the association's analysis indicated that the top wage earners account for a disproportionate share of Utah income tax. In 2000, Utahns earning more than $250,000 comprised 1 percent of all state taxpayers. The group earned 17.1 percent of the state's total adjusted gross income and paid 21.9 percent of Utah's income taxes.
Utahns earning less than $50,000 annually comprise nearly three-quarters of all taxpayers statewide, noted the organization report. The group of Utah's lower wage earners accounted for one-third of total adjusted gross income and paid slightly less than one-quarter of all related state taxes.
The state's income codes are significantly less progressive than the federal guidelines, explained the Utah Taxpayers Association.
The majority of the independent analysts researching the matter attribute the difference to Utah's failure to index state tax brackets for inflation.
Federal brackets have been continuously adjusted for inflation for more than 20 years. But Utah's tax brackets have been adjusted only once since 1973.
Utah's top income tax bracket starts at $8,626, compared to approximately $60,000 for the average state, .
Since Utah has one of the lowest thresholds in the nation, the majority of the personal income in the state is taxed at the highest 7 percent rate, explained the independent non-partisan associations.
Consequently, the effective rate on the state's top wage earners registers only slightly higher than the tax burden shouldered by low income Utahns.
Additionally, the financial burden assumed by Utahns exceeds the national average by 22 percent since the state taxes income at the highest rate, concluded the independent non-partisan research organization.

@tobyhyde What's your thoughts on giving Flores some time in LF early in 2013? If he could learn to play OF his bat could help soon.—
Ben Yoel (@Ben_Yoel) November 18, 2012
Joe, via email:
Comment: For some time now we have heard that he doesn't have the range to play shortstop and now finally the Mets have moved him off that position. It sounds like his best position might be 1B or 3B. However, the Mets currently do not have an ideal 2B in Daniel Murphy. How do you think Flores might be in the field at second base compared to Murphy? Hitting-wise, at least, Flores might project to be Murphy with more power.
[sny-editorial userid="16692447″]
Lets start with what Flores has been doing recently. He's hitting .307/.386/.465 with seven doubles, three homers, 11 walks and only 15 strikeouts in 27 games for the Bravos de Margarita in the Venezuelan Winter League. The 21-year old has played 21 games at third base and one at second, and for what it's worth (not much) committed six errors. The VWL has averaged a .271/.346/.395 line. Flores is walking at a 9.5% rate, higher than in any of his domestic seasons while fanning in just 13% of his plate appearances. Dude can really hit.
Ben's question first. Putting Flores in leftfield is a bad, bad idea. He's just not fast enough to ever have better than well below average range in the outfield. No, he can't learn to get faster. He'll catch the balls that he can reach, but he will not reach enough in the outfield to be anything other than poor.
Flores at second is more appealing than in leftfield, but I still think that it would be a stretch. He is, and will always be, a second baseman with below average range. Again, he'll field the grounders he can reach, but he will not reach enough of them. He has good hands and a plus arm, but his feet are slow, too slow for short, and too slow to play an average second base.
Reviews of his work at third, in his first year playing the position, went from poor in the early part of the season to questionable and tolerable in the warmer months. Scouts seemed to think that if he hit enough, a manger or team would be willing to put up with defense at the hot corner.
As far as Flores versus Murphy defensively, I don't think there's any guarantee that the youngster will be better. There's a small split in the defensive metric with respect to Murphy's 2012 season: Total Zone Rating has him one run below average, BIS Defensive Runs Saved has him +1 and UZR has him nine runs below average. I really think Murphy is quicker than Flores. The Irish Hammer stole 14 bases in his last full minor league season in 2008 in 99 games. Flores has 14 stolen bases in 589 minor league games through his age 20/21 season. The nicest thing I heard about Flores' work at second in 2012 was that he was still "learning" the postion.
So, again I'd like to see the Mets leave Flores at third in 2013. He has soft hands and strong arm. He will need to work hard to learn the reactions at the hot corner, but that's his best (if not only chance) of retaining defensive value before sliding down to first base.
