Non-traditional students in Utah at-risk of not being able to afford a college education may benefit from $109,920 in Daniels Opportunity Scholarships announced recently by the Daniels Fund.
The 2008 Daniels Opportunity Scholarship awards, valued from $32,000 to $46,000 will be distributed to Dixie State College, Salt Lake Community College, and Southern Utah University and converted directly into scholarships to support non-traditional students such as adults returning to college; foster care youth; GED recipients; individuals seeking EMT/paramedic training; returning military personnel; and youth exiting juvenile justice facilities.
"Students who most desire a college education are often least able to afford one," said Linda Childears, president and CEO of the Daniels Fund. "Daniels Opportunity Scholarships are intended to give a boost to students of all ages and at all levels of society seeking to secure the economic and social benefits of a college education," she added.
The institutions are responsible for selecting recipients and managing monetary distribution. Funding is awarded in two-year cycles, so Daniels Opportunity Scholarships are available at other colleges and universities that received awards last year.
In selecting candidates for a Daniels Opportunity Scholarship, institutions are encouraged to seek out those who reflect the qualities identified by Bill Daniels: strength of character; leadership potential; emotional maturity and stability; and a willingness to give back to the community.
"In establishing the Daniels Fund, Bill Daniels wanted to help individuals overlooked by other scholarship programs but who have every potential to complete a college education if given a chance and the necessary support," said Childears.
The Daniels Fund operates the Daniels Fund Scholarship Program Grants Program in four western states. The foundation was established by Bill Daniels, who once owned the ABA Utah Stars.

Presently, Canadians have one of the highest life expectancies in the world. On average, a 65 year old man can expect to live another 17 years and a 65 year old woman can expect to live an additional 21 years. 13 of those years will be in good health but 4-8 will be in poor health. These videos make the case for the importance of physical activity in minimizing chronic disease and maximizing quality of life as we age.
Did you know? Falls are the leading cause of hospital admissions for older Canadians. Daily movement and exercise helps to reduce the incidence of falls associated with the increasingly sedentary lifestyles of Canadian seniors.

"And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. "
Matthew 28:1 Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Mag'dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre.
Matthew 28:2 And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
Matthew 28:3 His appearance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow.
Matthew 28:4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men.
Matthew 28:5 But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.
Matthew 28:6 He is not here; for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay.
Matthew 28:7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told you."
Matthew 28:8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.
Matthew 28:9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him.
Matthew 28:10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see me."
Matthew 28:11 While they were going, behold, some of the guard went into the city and told the chief priests all that had taken place.
Matthew 28:12 And when they had assembled with the elders and taken counsel, they gave a sum of money to the soldiers
Matthew 28:13 and said, "Tell people, 'His disciples came by night and stole him away while we were asleep.'
Matthew 28:14 And if this comes to the governor's ears, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble."
Matthew 28:15 So they took the money and did as they were directed; and this story has been spread among the Jews to this day.
Matthew 28:16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.
Matthew 28:17 And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted.
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Matthew 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age."

Carissa Moore
Carissa Moore Feed
Carissa's Details
About Carissa
Hawaii's Carissa Moore has been hailed as one of surfing's most exciting competitors since she was a grom. Before Carissa had even started her sophomore year in high school, she won 11 National Scholastic Surfing Association Championships and became the youngest female ever to grace the cover of SURFER magazine, as well as the youngest-ever Vans Triple Crown event champion.
As an Association of Surfing Professionals Tour rookie in 2010, she won multiple events, including the TSB Bank Women's Surf Festival in New Zealand, where the warm, bubbly athlete donated her winnings to a local boardriders' club for children.
The same season saw Carissa score an impressive victory at the U.S. Open of Surfing, earning the richest first-place purse in women's surfing history. Carissa's dream of someday capturing the overall pro tour title seems very much within reach – and she may turn out to be one of the best ever.
Check out Carissa's official site.

Can you give more information about them - their size, materials, any marks on them at all? It is very hard to identify and value these types of items remotely without many pictures of their details and a comprehensive description.

It was a packed and excited house at Castle Heights Elementary last Thursday as the crowd waited to hear who had won this year's Arch Coal Achievement Awards.
On hand to honor the five teachers was Paul Lang, senior vice president of operations for Arch Coal, Inc.; Gene DiClaudio, president of Arch Western Bituminous Group; Wess Sorenson, general manager of Skyline mine; Ken May general manager of Sufco mine; Erwin Sass, general manager of Dugout mine; Dixie Allen, from the Utah State Board of Education and Jim Porter, High Desert UniServ.
Before the presentation the students were given a little course in being the most enthusiastic audience ever. They were shown the sign for cheering and the other one for standing up and letting loose.
Castle Heights student body turned out to be quick learners.Their enthusiasm was deafening as Gail Jewell from Wellington, Renae Seegmiller representing Salina, J. Edward Staker of Mt. Pleasant and Diane Hill from Gunnison took the stage accepting their glass trophies.
However, no prompting was needed when the final teacher stepped up for her award. When the children heard their very own Connie Hamilton had won they went crazy without being encouraged to do so.
In addition to their trophy, the teachers also received $2,500 and a classroom plaque.
In its second year the Arch Coal program asks the public to nominate excellent teachers and then those nominations are judged by other teachers.
"I believe that the recipients are models for their colleagues but even more than that I feel they model a way of life that their students can emulate and find success of their own," said Porter in a press release.
Arch Coal's Canyon Fuel Co. is Utah's largest coal producer and has a workforce of 800.

WOONSOCKET — A walk-off win that results in Woonsocket High's first triumph of the season. That was the narrative of the Villa Novans' come-from-behind performance on Monday.
You hate to associate "must win" with a game that takes place during the second week of the regular season. Standing at 0-2 in Division I-North and 0-3 overall, Woonsocket understood that halting the slide was imperative against a St. Raphael outfit that was seeking to maintain its pristine ways.
Whether desperation was a driving factor or not, Woonsocket's gumption and perseverance was handsomely rewarded with one down in the last of the seventh inning. That's when speedy shortstop Will Andino scored on a wild pitch by SRA starter Bob Bracken, the sequence resulting in a 4-3 final and setting off a mild Novan celebration.
Make no mistake: Woonsocket earned this one. Rallying from deficits of 1-0 after 3 ½ innings and 3-2 after 4 ½ frames were telling signs that, despite the way things have transpired to date, there was a steely-eyed resolve within the home dugout at Barry Field.
"Hopefully today is the start of something positive," smiled Marsella, knowing full well that the next task awaiting his ball club is to build off Monday's result.
Andino began the pivotal seventh with a high fly ball to the right-center gap that allowed him to pull into second base with a double. A throwing error by St. Raphael placed runners on first and third before St. Raphael mentor Tom "Saar" Sorrentine elected to intentionally walk John Flynn to set up a force-out situation at any base.
On the first pitch of his confrontation with Woonsocket's Matt Lefebvre, Bracken (six strikeouts) uncorked an offering that scooted past Saints freshman catcher Dylan Boisclair. The ball had barely reached the backstop by the time Andino touched down with the deciding run.
Brandon Rainville weaved his way in and out of danger during seven innings of four-hit ball. The Woonsocket righty got out of a second-and-third jam in the first inning and ended another frame with a runner stranded in scoring position. Rainville saved his best for last, retiring the Saints in order in the seventh inning.
"As long as he keeps his pitch count down and can give us a whole game, he's going to keep us in the mix," noted Marsella. "It's a confidence booster for the rest of the team when he's out there."
The Saints (2-1, Division I-North) broke through first when Boisclair doubled in Ben Duarte in the fourth. After the Villa Novans scored twice in the bottom of the frame, the visitors responded with a two-spot of its own in the top of the fifth. A single by Ben Roy scored senior Zach Mitsmenn, who reached via hit by pitch before stealing second. Mitsmenn was attempting to steal third when Roy singled up the middle.
SRA's third and final run was the result of a bases loaded walk drawn by Nicholas Sisto, one of four free passes issued by Rainville.
"We've been playing good enough to win; we just didn't get it done today," said Sorrentine. "We had some scoring chances that we didn't capitalize on."
In what could be considered a foreshadowing, Andino delivered a RBI triple to tie the game at 3-all in the sixth inning. Flynn reached base safely four times – two walks, two hits – while Lefebvre collected two hits, one a double.
"We got up here early to take extra batting practice; I'm glad it paid off," said Marsella.
More than anything, Marsella was proud of the fact that his Novans committed just one error; his team was guilty of seven miscues that led to four unearned runs during last Monday's 6-5 setback to Cranston East.
Monday saw the Saints and Villa Novans kick off a week that will feature three league games for each side. SRA plays North Providence at Vets Park on Wednesday before heading to Tucker Field to tango with Cumberland on Friday. Woonsocket has a pair of road dates, Wednesday at Cranston West and Friday at Lincoln.

MADISON, Wis. -- Wisconsin's Reed Connor and Mary Massei were honored Monday with the Big Ten Conference's Medal of Honor for excellence in athletics and academics. The award is presented annually at each Big Ten institution to a male and female student-athlete in the graduating class who has demonstrated proficiency in scholarship and athletics.The Big Ten, the nation's oldest collegiate conference, commemorates the 100th anniversary of a very unique tradition -- the Big Ten Medal of Honor -- in 2014. The conference's most exclusive award was the first of its kind in intercollegiate athletics to recognize academic and athletic excellence. The Big Ten Medal of Honor was first awarded in 1915 to one student-athlete from the graduating class of each university who had "attained the greatest proficiency in athletics and scholastic work." Big Ten schools currently feature more than 8,200 student-athletes, but only 24 earn this prestigious award on an annual basis. In the 99 years of the Medal of Honor, more than 1,300 student-athletes have earned this distinction.The 2014 Big Ten Indoor Track Athlete of the Year, Connor enjoyed a successful career while at Wisconsin, earning four first-team All-America honors during his five years in Madison. A native of Houston, Connor was an instrumental part of the men's cross country team's national championship in 2011, helping propel UW to its fifth national title. He also led Wisconsin to three Big Ten track titles, four cross country conference championships and four NCAA Great Lakes Regional crowns during his career.Connor was named Big Ten Outdoor Freshman of the Year in 2011 after winning the 5000 meters, the first of his three conference titles, at the Big Ten meet. During the 2014 track season, Connor won the 3000 meters title at the Big Ten indoor meet and was runner-up in the 5000, while at the outdoor conference meet he won the 10,000 meters and finished second in the 5000. His performances helped the Badgers sweep both the indoor and outdoor track titles for the first time since 2007.A Capital One Academic All-District honoree, Connor graduated from Wisconsin with a 3.43 cumulative grade-point average with degrees in marketing and real estate and urban land economics.It marks the second straight season a member of the men's track and cross country teams has earned the Big Ten Medal of Honor, as Elliot Krause earned the accolades last year.A two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection, Massei rewrote the Wisconsin softball record books during her storied career. The outfielder set program records in runs scored (142), hits (249), batting average (.370), doubles (53), triples (14) and total bases (402). Massei led the Badgers to the program's first-ever Big Ten tournament title in 2013 and propelled the squad to the NCAA tournament during her junior and senior seasons. This season, Massei led the Badgers with a .375 batting average and recorded a team-high 69 hits, 16 doubles and two triples. Her 69 hits this year ranked second in program history, while her 119 total bases also ranked second. The Chino Hills, California, native was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Midwest Region first team and was a first-team Capital One Academic All-District honoree in 2013. A sociology major with a 3.13 cumulative GPA, Massei also earned Academic All-Big Ten honors three times during her career. Massei is the first player in UW softball history to earn the Big Ten Medal of Honor. WISCONSIN'S BIG TEN MEDAL OF HONOR RECIPIENTSIn 1914, the conference endowed a Medal of Honor, to be awarded annually at each institution, to a student in the graduating class that has demonstrated proficiency in scholarship and athletics. Winners in 1964 were 50th Anniversary winners of the Medal of Honor. Beginning in 1982, a senior woman student-athlete from each institution has also been awarded the Big Ten Medal of Honor.1915 - Martin Thomas Kennedy, Rowing1916 - William Dow Harvey, Track and Field1917 - Mead Burke, Track and Field1918 - Ebert Edward Simpson, Jr.1919 - Charles H.

No contenders yet for 4 Prescott council posts
PRESCOTT — No candidates have officially signed up to run for four open City Council seats in Prescott even though nominating packets have been available to prospective candidates for about four weeks.
Prescott City Clerk Lynn Mulhall tells The Daily Courier that only one person has picked up a nominating packet from her office and that that person isn't yet an official candidate because she hasn't submitted the required paperwork.
The positions that will be up for election are those currently held by Mayor Marlin Kuykendall and council members Al Carlow, Steve Blair and Len Scamardo.
Prospective candidates may file their completed paperwork between April 29 and May 29.
The primary is set for Aug. 27, and the general election is set for Nov. 5.

These, according to the sign in the bake shop in Buenos Aires, are bocadillos. Vegetable-egg-rice-cheese-potato fritters, or rounded pancakes, made in many different ways, as you can see. And quite good.
Now before you tell me that they're not, that bocadillos are sandwiches, I know. I'm just reporting: This is what the sign said. And if I'd known that identifying them would be such a challenge I would have a) paid more attention and b) grilled the saleswoman about the weird name.
But as I'm not going back to BsAs (as they say) any time soon, and as I'd like to make these, I'm wondering if any of you know what they are, exactly?
By Edward Schneider
As I said the other day when a menu board outside a raucous saloon provided the magic word ("chowder") that defined that evening's dinner, we turned out to have bought more than one meal's worth of scallops. There were also plenty more peas and herbs, and we didn't use the fava beans at all.
So we needed a dish that was the same but different: some of the same core ingredients, but new flavors and textures, and a new staple to replace the potatoes. The same options as the day before remained open: risotto or other rice variations, for instance. But on my contemplative walk home I remembered that in the freezer was a pint container of egg-pasta disks: a while before, we'd made some kind of ravioli/tortelli/dumplings, and the filling had run out before the pasta, so we'd laid the extra disks out on a paper-lined tray, froze them and stored them in the container. Never again would they work for ravioli (once defrosted they would probably get gummy), but thrown, frozen, into boiling water they'd be kind of like Ligurian corzetti, except eggier than most and without the stamped decoration.

[Andrea discovers decent airplane food, and converts it to an appealing recipe. – mb)
Airline food is rarely something that you want to replicate at home. On a recent press trip to Asia, though I was treated to business class flights. We kicked off our long-haul back to the States with a 2-hour leg from Hanoi to Hong Kong; it was late morning and I'd breakfasted on pho noodle soup and croissant, thinking that I wouldn't eat until the afternoon when we reached Hong Kong.
But we were served a full lunch, and I suddenly felt hungry when I got a whiff of the meal that the flight staff was reheating. It smelled comforting — garlic, soy sauce, maybe fish sauce too. Continue reading
In honor of the long holiday weekend it seems only appropriate to offer up more than the usual Sunday dish–so here you go: a few ideas for a classic 4th of July celebration. All adapted from How to Cook Everything.
No-Work Smoked Pork Shoulder or Spareribs
Makes: 6 to 8 servings
Time: About 4 hours, largely unattended
A gas grill works best here (though an oven will do for the first variation). You'll be amazed by the ease of this low-and-slow technique and downright shocked at the result: The meat can be served straight off the grill, with no more than a squeeze of lime and a few drops of Tabasco, or with any salsa or chutney. Or your can refrigerate the whole thing, slice the shoulder or cut between the ribs, and put it back on the grill—this time over direct heat—to add a crisp steaklike char over the super-tender insides.

I just had a hamburger, and I like sautéed onions and cheese on mine. Sometimes bacon too, and tomato. And ketchup. So, hamburger purists, sue me.
There wasn't any cheeseburger cheese, i.e., something other than grating cheeses, something like gruyère or cheddar. So when I'd cooked my sliced onion in butter, until tender and blond, I added some grated parmesan, which, bingo, made a cheese/onion sauce. It tasted good on or off the hamburger, and it could be the basis for something more elaborate now that I know it works.

When I first read about this dish in Nigel Slater's rather hypnotic Kitchen Diaries, I thought, "Where have you been all my life?" I love fresh peas as fresh from the garden as I can get them and often eat a whole bowlful at night just before going to bed. Who thought I could have them for breakfast, too? You might point out that Nigel hadn't meant this as a breakfast dish, which is true but irrelevant. I love fresh asparagus on toast for breakfast — heat minced garlic in butter in a small skillet until softened, add half a cup of water and bring it to a boil, put in asparagus cut into short lengths, cover, and cook for 7 or 8 minutes. Make toast, butter it if you're in a luxuriant mood, and pour over the contents of the skillet. What are you waiting for? Eat. Continue reading
There is a tradition of English-speaking writers effectively translating the cuisines of other countries for us, and it's a worthy one. Those authors may be native to the country of their subject: Marcella Hazan, for example, or Julie Sahni. Or they may have been foreigners, like Richard Olney, Elizabeth David, or Julia Child. To some extent, they offered us the food of other countries in a way we could only otherwise experience by going there, because for the most part the restaurants representing those cuisines were not yet offering us the real deal.
This is the position Elizabeth Andoh is in, and her job is as challenging as any. Ms. Andoh, an American who moved to Japan more than 40 years ago and has spent that time learning Japanese cooking (and culture, and the language, and more) and refining it for English-speaking audiences. One might argue that Ms. Andoh has written the same book several times, a book that says, in essence, "Please. It's not as hard as you think. Let me explain it to you so you can give it a shot." Her most recent effort, Washoku, is now nearly five years old and, I think, is underappreciated despite an IACP award. Continue reading

Carnitas is (are?) one of my all-time favorite foods. Pork shoulder braised, pulled, and crisped in its own fat; a pile of tortillas, a higher pile of beers. It doesn't get much better than that.
Last week it almost did. I used duck instead of pork; it stood to reason in my head that braising and frying a duck couldn't possibly be a bad idea. It wasn't. Continue reading

Native Americans
Story-Tellers Myth-Keepers and the Story-Telling Tradition
By tribal law, traditional tales or stories were only told to other Cherokee. Members of the tribe were invited by the story-teller to hear the stories, which often featured animals, birds, supernatural beings, or the exploits of legendary tribesmen and women. Cherokee tales were passed down orally from generation to generation and some of the stories had mythic qualities themselves, for it was said that true myth-keepers could transform into the animal about which they spoke!
James Mooney
James Mooney (1861-1921) was author of one of the best published sources of Cherokee language, myths, stories, religious practices, and culture, Myths of the Cherokee and Sacred Formulas of the Cherokees. A self-trained ethnologist, Mooney, as a representative of the U.S. Bureau of American Ethnology, studied the Eastern Cherokee in 1887 and 1888 and was able to convince many of their shamans and storytellers to relate to him the most psopular stories and explain the nuances of the cultural practices of the Eastern tribes. He first published the myths in 1900 in the 19th Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology and was regarded by colleagues as a leading expert on Native Americans.
A'yun'ini, or "Swimmer," (1835-1899) was a prominent and highly regarded Eastern Cherokee shaman and story-teller who related hundreds of traditional stories to James Mooney. Mooney claims that three-fourths of the myths he recorded originated from "Swimmer." A'yun'ini served in the U.S. Civil War as 2nd Sgt. of the Cherokee Company A, 69th North Carolina Confederate Infantry, Thomas Legion. A central figure in the local tribe, A'yun'ini was described by Mooney as having a mind that "was a storehouse of Indian Tradition." A'yun'ini was convinced to share his vast knowledge and record the sacred formulas and medicinal plants so they would not be lost to history as western medicine became popular among Native Americans.
Aya'sta, (1838-1916) whose English name was Sally Terrapin, was a southeastern traditional basket-maker and story-teller who assisted James Mooney in recording the oral histories and songs of the Cherokee. Mooney relied heavily on her version of "How the World Was Made" for his publication. The widow of one medicine man and mother of another, Aya'sta was the only woman privileged to speak in council among the eastern Cherokee and was considered by Mooney as "one of the best traditionalists in the tribe."
The legend of the "Tlanuwa," or the "Great Mythic Hawk," is a Cherokee variation of the Thunderbird and Piasa Bird myths found in other Native American cultures. Tlanuwa were a pair of immense raptors said to live in the caves of a high cliff just below the mouth of Citco Creek on the north bank of the Little Tennessee River in Blount County. According to legend, they flew up and down the river in search of prey, even coming into villages and carrying off dogs and small children. In one famous incident, Daniel Boone claimed to have seen a giant raptor on the Tennessee River near where the Cherokee claimed the Tlanuwa made its home.
The Thunderbird is one of the most dominant icons in Native American art. Descriptions of them have been faithfully recorded for centuries in totems, carvings, pottery, cave art, and in the ancient stories of Native Americans.
Water Lore
The belief that sacred ponds, streams, wells, lakes, and rivers were entryways to the "otherworld" was a significant and ancient belief among many peoples and this is also true of the Cherokee. Tales of water lore and the close association between water and the control of weather has been the subject of many Native American legends, and is particularly important to the Cherokee, whose homeland was surrounded and dominated by waterways.
The use of water as a healing agent is also prominently featured in some of the earliest Cherokee beliefs. The Cherokees believed that moving water could purify and strengthen an individual and to "go to the water" for purification was a significant part of many traditional Cherokee rituals. Thus Cherokees lived by the water spiritually, psychologically and physically.

U'tlun'ta – The Spear-Finger
The Cherokee legend of U'tlun'ta originates from East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. U'tlun'ta literally translates as "he (or she) has it sharp," and refers to the extremely sharp, long, pointed index finger U'tlun'ta had on her right hand. Ut'lun'ta, or "Spear-finger," was described as having the appearance of a old woman, but possessing stone-covered skin and her namesake stony finger that resembled an awl or spearhead.
She was said to have great powers over stone, and had the power to easily lift heavy stones, "cement them together by merely striking one against another," and even used her powers to build a bridge through the air from Tree Rock on Hiwassee to Whiteside Mountain on Blue Ridge.
U'tlun'ta was best known for her ravenous appetite for livers, which she would take from any person unfortunate enough to cross her. She would often change her appearance to resemble a family member, or coax children to come near then use her finger, which was as sharp as an obsidian knife, to slice out their livers.
A great council was called and resolved to destroy Spear-Finger before she could cause further harm. A hunting party dug a pitfall across a path, covering it with grass and dirt. An old woman approached, hiding her right hand in her blanket. When she reached the pitfall she fell into the deep into the trap, at once revealing her true nature and unleashing her spear-finger, "reaching out in every direction for someone to stab."
The hunters leapt into action and began to shower her with arrows, but none could pierce her stony skin. A titmouse landed nearby and began to sing, "un, un, un" which the men believed meant "u'nahu," or "heart" and all aimed for her heart, but to no avail as the arrows still bounced off her stone skin. They continued to fight her hopelessly until a Chickadee, Tsi-kilili, landed on her right hand; the warriors took this as an omen that U'tlun'ta's heart must be in her right hand, "which she kept doubled into a fist." All the warriors took their aim and a lucky arrow struck her where her hand joined her wrist, severing her heart and killing her instantly, finally ending the curse of U'tlun'ta.
In the late 19th Century, the Cherokee stated the remains of the structures she built out of stone were still visible, and they referred to a site in Blount County as, "U'tluntun'yi," or the "Spear-Finger Place," because it was a place she was known to frequent.

WYOMING, Michigan (WZZM) -- Grocery shopping is one of the biggest expenses in many families' budgets. Now that expense is getting even bigger with grocery prices creeping up in recent months.
The United States Department of Agriculture has predicted consumer food costs will rise between 3% and 4% in 2013. This on top of jumping nearly 3% last year. The increase is mostly the result of last year's drought and rising fuel prices. The increases are pretty much across the board, on everything from produce to poultry and beef, dairy and grains.
Locally, Spartan Stores, says it has been able to keep prices the same on hundreds of items with a program started last year.
"We have actually held prices and locked them down despite some of the commodity increases. We've seen a cost increase, particularly on proteins. We have seen a significant rise on things like chicken, beef, etc.," said Alan Hartline, Spartan Foods Executive Vice-President of Merchandising and Marketing. "But those are things we have actually locked down as part of our price freeze program. We extract expenses out. It is a tenacious approach to taking out expenses knowing the consumer is looking for value in today's environment and we have to continue to meet their expectation in that area."
The price freeze program will meet the needs of customers looking to make ends meet. When it was launched a year ago it offered 300 items at a fixed price for 90 days at a time. Now Spartan Stores offers up to 800 items on the list.
"I think given the economic environment over the past couple of years value has really been the mantra for our industry quite frankly. We have needed to find ways to provide value to the consumer seeking that out, whether they have a finite amount of money or they are concerned about the economic environment and are trying to save money," said Hartline.
Overall, shoppers are buying more things on sale and many are staying away from big name-brand products. Hartline says they have noticed an increase in shoppers buying Spartan brand products.
Customers are also comparing stores looking for those stores, that offer other household savings for shopping.
Hartline says the stores fuel rewards program is very popular. For example, shoppers who spend at least $75 Thursday through Saturday this week, can save $.50 a gallon on gas.
Food inflation is expected to ease by the end of the year as long as 2013 doesn't bring more adverse weather conditions.

Could anyone please help me with the value of this Nippon Vase?
I have this Nippon Vase which belonged to my Great Grandmother. I have searched and searched and cannot find this same exact vase anywhere. I think it is pretty rare? It was marked Hand Painted Nippon on the bottom with the leaf stamp. We believe it was from the early 1900's. I am trying to put a value to it? Can anyone help, please? I believe the vase measures approximately 12-13 inches tall.

If it is signed "Hand Painted Nippon" I would put the date at about 1910-1920, more or less. Value, without a closer look, at 150-300$. You probably won't find an exact match in anything but the signature, especially if it is stamp signed.
The decoration type around the handle is called moriage.
which means "raised up", referring the raised nature of the dots.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
Each day the general populace of the United States is bombarded with the results of medical and health studies concerning some aspect of their well being. It seems one day the studies tell us one thing, and on another they tell us the opposite.
It is a problem for everyone because it sets us up for thinking we know something that may not be the truth.
Now maybe the word truth is a little strong here. In science truths can change as new discoveries are made. Beliefs people had about medical care even a century ago are completely different now. How we view the world of biology changes every year.
And sometimes the most reputable sources for a scientific study seems to be in juxtaposition to another study by just as reputable a source.
While I have observed this problem for years, it really came to a head last week when I visited my doctor. I was in for my biannual checkup to see how my heart and cholesterol are doing. For the past few years I have also asked my physician to have a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) done. The men in my family have had a history of prostrate problems, so I want to keep tabs on what is going on.
But the test that I have been taking for years to monitor my health is now very much in question. Some recent studies have shown the test to not be that reliable. In fact some feel that the test could actually be harmful by pointing men toward treatments that could be far worse for one's health than living with the cancer that could occur there.
Today medical experts seem just as willing to let you have your cake and eat it too when it comes to PSA screening. It's because PSA screening, once thought to be the where-all, show-all test for finding out if a man has prostate cancer, is no longer a sure thing. In fact, apparently, it never was.
Most urologists, based on what their association (the American Association of Urologists) says, still think it is a valuable tool. But the evidence from a number of studies shows something different.
I know this is a rather personal thing to discuss, but then good story tellers use their personal experiences to tell good stories. So talking about this may be embarrassing for some, but for me it is just part of my life experience. Making it up close, and personal makes it real.
As we looked at my numbers they had gone up over the past three years. Based on what I have read that could be because I am getting older, my prostrate is just sending out more or I could have cancer. To me it was that simplistic. But nothing is ever as simple as you think it is.
My doctor asked me if I had seen the recent studies and he admitted in some ways general physicians are just as confused because their sources, much more technical and specific are saying much of the same thing we, the general public, are hearing.
"We really don't have a simple way to detect prostate cancer," he said. "Biopsy or autopsy are the only sure way to find out." Then he smiled and we both laughed nervous laughs.
Neither sounded good to me. My numbers aren't that high so he and I are going to watch what is going on more closely, now every six months.
But this raised the question in my mind again about studies and scientific trials. What can we believe and why should we believe it.
I have come to the point when I see studies come out in the media that I am neither alarmed by nor am I complacent about. I have found that before I even start to wonder about what a studies results mean, I need to know some details about that particular study.
First we need to get the nomenclature correct. People interchange the words medical trials, studies, and other words. They all mean different things and also have various other words attached to them such as research, clinical, cohort, panel, etc.
What we want to do here is take a general view. You see something in the media and you should ask yourself "How does this affect me?"
If you think it is important then you should dig for answers. You could ask your doctor, but that takes time during an exam or checkup and to be honest, you may not ask the right questions if you already don't have some good information on which to base your questions.
So in the news story, you'll often find a review of who was studied. Make sure those participants fit your circumstances. Their gender, overall health, age and other physical characteristics are every bit as pertinent as what is being studied. Ask yourself if you match the group.
Once this is done, and you find that you would fit into the group if you were in the study yourself, credibility of the study becomes the question. That is the next step to take in evaluation.
This is a very important point. Not all news outlets are as credible as others. A television report will never tell you as much as a good magazine or newspaper report. Unless it is in a news magazine show, they just don't have the time to look at in depth. You need to make that determination, because getting to the original source of the report takes time, and you don't want to invest your time in something that was skimmed off the top of a wire report or a reporter's whim.
While not everyone thinks about it, we all inherently know that not all media outlets are as credible as others. The same is true of medical and research journals. Most strive to be scientific, but some are just not as good as others.
Examples of good ones (and you will hear these often recited in news stories on how credible news outlets are) the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). This doesn't mean these are the only ones that are valuable, but they are at the top of the list.
Once you do this, you can move on to look at the information available. The study report itself or at least a summary is often available on the internet. If you can get the information on the original you can often get access through a local library, even if they don't carry that particular journal or source.
Once this is done, then one needs to look at the credibility and objectivity of those who did the study or trial. In these days of full of conspiracy theories it is often helpful to have a good dose of common sense with a big pinch of mistrust.
Money, money, money. One must watch the money trail when looking at any kind of research. Scientific study itself, when conducted properly, is as pure as anything man has ever devised. But it can be tainted by green stuff. In this case objectives to find what is wanted can be set before the study is begun.
While not useless, studies that are funded by companies, clinics or others who could profit from the results should be suspect, particularly if the results are dramatic and show little downside.
Look for results from independent researchers or labs. Government entities and public universities usually are very reliable. However, do remember in this day and age even public universities are profiting from patents and things they have developed in many fields. And if there is private money involved, good researchers will reveal that to those studying their results.
Objectivity is what you are after. Biased opinions are not good for your health.
Next look at how the study was done. There are three important aspects that anyone looking for a good study should review.
â¢How large was the group of people studied. If it was 10 people studied over a year, not a very good study regardless of their circumstances. If it was thousands looked and evaluated over 10 years, those are good numbers.
â¢That brings up the second important point. The length of the study. Depending on what is being studied the time that it took to do the study should be long enough to give some good, reliable information. Some studies would not need to be lengthy. Others, particularly concerning chronic diseases (such as cancer or heart disease) need time to blossom.
â¢Is the study the confirmation of another study or is it a ground breaker? Confirmation of another reliable study would be something that could hold a lot of water. It if was a first time study on something, regardless of length or group, there may still be some questions to be answered. In the past there have been studies of groups of people or therapies that despite all the other things being equal, show different results. Replication of results by another researcher is important.
Also don't county on replication. There have been many studies on large groups of people over long periods of time that show different things. The PSA tests referred to earlier in this article is a good example of what can happen.
All this is good news and good information. However, don't miss out on talking to your doctor too. You are an individual and your doctor knows about you. Even with all the research you may have done, and information you may have gathered only having a conversation with your physician should lead to lifestyle changes, particularly when it comes to drug regimens.
Studies are good to follow, but remember every individual is different, and that can be the key to good health.
