|Governor Inspects ASU Decathlon Entry
|Written by Steve Frank
|Thursday, 07 July 2011 15:53
Governor Bev Perdue made a couple of quick stops in Boone Thursday afternoon, one to see first-hand the entry to the Solar Decathlon, the international energy efficiency competition set for late September on the National Mall in D.C. Perdue met with the ASU students and faculty designing and building the entry and heard of locally grown innovation
that will hopefully take the ASU entry to the top. And the innovation was what impressed the governor the most, "It's pretty clear—brains are always grown in North Carolina, but good ideas and innovation does great things in North Carolina. This is innovation and entrepreneurship at its best, and a group of young folks decided to do it backed by private companies—the public private partnership—there's a 'wow' factor here, too" Perdue said she hopes to be at the National Mall October 1st celebrating with ASU in their Decathlon win. She also stopped at the Paul Broyhill wellness center in her hour or so in Boone.

10 U.S. Code § 7672 - Recaptures: award of salvage, costs, and expenses
(a) If a vessel or other property that has been captured by a force hostile to the United States is recaptured, and the court believes that the property had not been condemned as prize by competent authority before its recapture, the court shall award an appropriate sum as salvage.
(b) If the recaptured property belonged to the United States, it shall be restored to the United States, and costs and expenses ordered to be paid by the court shall be paid from the Treasury.
(c) If the recaptured property belonged to any person residing within or under the protection of the United States, the court shall restore the property to its owner upon his claim and on payment of such sum as the court may award as salvage, costs, and expenses.
(d) If the recaptured property belonged to any person permanently residing within the territory and under the protection of any foreign government in amity with the United States, and, by the law or usage of that government, the property of a citizen of the United States would be restored under like circumstances of recapture, the court shall, upon the owner's claim, restore the property to him under such terms as the law or usage of that government would require of a citizen of the United States under like circumstances. If no such law or usage is known, the property shall be restored upon the payment of such salvage, costs, and expenses as the court orders.
Source(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 481.)
|Revised section
|Source (U.S. Code)
|Source (Statutes at Large)
|34 U.S.C. 1158 (less last sentence).
|R.S. 4652 (less last sentence).
In subsection (c) the words "restore the property" are substituted for the words "adjudge to be restored." A similar substitution is made in subsection (d).
In subsection (d) the words "foreign government" are substituted for the words "foreign prince, government, or state".
Subsection (e) is derived from the next to the last sentence of R.S. 4652 which, when enacted, read:
"The whole amount awarded as salvage shall be decreed to the captors and no part to the United States, and shall be distributed as in the case of proceeds of property condemned as prize."
The Act of March 3, 1899, ch. 413, § 13,30 Stat. 1007, repealed all laws authorizing the distribution of prize money to captors. Accordingly, 34 U.S.C. 1158 states:
"The whole amount awarded as salvage shall be disposed of as in the case of proceeds of property condemned as prize."
As shown in § 7668 of this title, the net proceeds of property condemned as prize must be decreed to the United States. Subsection (e) is phrased so as to state directly, instead of by reference, the fact that the amount awarded as salvage is paid to the government. While this is apparently inconsistent with R.S. 4652 as originally enacted, it is consistent with the intent expressed by Congress in the provision of the Act of March 3, 1899 (supra), which repealed provisions relating to the distribution of prize money and bounty to crews. This act, it is true, did not mention salvage; and salvage money is still occasionally awarded to crews of naval vessels. However, such occasions are rare, and it is the general policy of the Department of the Navy not to claim salvage on behalf of its personnel. No case appears in which salvage derived from prize has been claimed for such personnel. Prize salvage is more closely related to prize money than it is to other salvage. The determination by Congress that captors should not share in the proceeds of prizes is, therefore, as in 34 U.S.C. 1158, carried through the revised section to salvage derived from prize. The word "amounts" is substituted for the words "the whole amount".

Carroll Talks About Cutting Braylon
Yesterday Pete Carroll spoke to the press and was asked about the Seahawks cutting of Braylon Edwards and why Seattle made that move at that point.
Kim Martin writes about it in Newsday today.
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Wednesday that the Seahawks released the recently signed Jet because they believed Edwards would be sidelined for a while with a hamstring injury.
"We thought he had a three-week injury or so and it was going to be a while before he was back and we weren't sure if he would make it back," Carroll said during a news conference. "So we didn't know."
The Seahawks cut the receiver last week with a waived/injured designation, meaning he didn't pass their exit physical, and then waived him from injured reserve on Monday. The Jets — the only team to put in a claim for Edwards — were awarded the 29-year-old wideout the next day.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.com
I'm happy that Braylon is with the Jets again, but Carroll isn't telling the whole tale here.
Since Braylon has been cut, the Seahawks have yet to make a companion move to fill back the roster. My point is, the Seahawks weren't itching to get someone else on the active roster and needed to move him to do it. There's a reason that they cut Braylon and while I'm sure the fact that Braylon has been suffering from a hamstring injury has something to do with it. He's been unproductive, he's been dealing with a minor injury, but there's an unspoken factor at play.
Edwards called the Jets front office idiots and then in a response tweet to a Jets fan, Edwards used a pejorative term for a mentally challenged person. Pete Carroll isn't going to go out publicly and say that was part of the reason, as it would create a whole firestorm with which two teams would have to deal. Carroll has been known as a media-friendly coach and he rarely looks to make statements that turn into controversies, I think that talking about the injury might raise some concerns, but less than if he went into all the details.

Tucson Police investigate major theft from Gem Show vendor
According to a victim, someone cut the locks on the trailer and took just under 2,000 stones worth up to $900,000.
Reporter: Claire Doan
Web Producer: Marissa Pasquet
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) -- Tucson Police said it's first major theft from the Gem Show this year: Thieves stole thousands of rare gemstones worth $900,000 dollars from a vendor.
The merchandise was stolen from a box trailer at a Motel 6 parking lot on E. Benson Highway sometime between Sunday night and Tuesday morning.
"We put a lock on the trailer itself so that it just couldn't be hooked up and taken away. We're in and out and we just thought it looked like it was pretty safe," said Tammy Moreau, the vendor whose merchandise was stolen.
She said the thieves took more than 2,000 faceted stones, 100 pendants, 100 earrings and rings, adding that the gems took three years to mine.
Sgt. Matt Ronstadt, a Tucson Police spokesperson, said thieves used bolt cutters to snap through padlocks on the unmarked trailer -- and said there is no indication that this is a targeted theft.
Moreau said her heart sank when she discovered the empty trailer when preparing to leave Tucson.
"This is devastating. I don't know what we're going to do because I have shows lined up and I have no merchandise to sell," Moreau said. "This is our sole income. This is how we make a living."
Ronstadt said the stones -- known as Oregon Sunstones -- are one-of-a-kind and only several miners and distributors in the world have access to them.
"We're hoping because the stones are so exclusive ... that getting those pictures out to the media and up on the website will help identify those [thieves]," Ronstadt said.
Detectives are looking for surveillance footage in the area, hoping that motel cameras or even freeway cameras caught the thieves in action.
Police advise dealers to store their merchandise in a secured lot or storage facility with staff on site, to prevent a theft like this from occurring.

CrockPot Azorean Spiced Beef Stew Recipe
Day 309.
I got this stew recipe from my buddy Sean, and it couldn't possibly be any better. I love how I used many of the same staples in this as I do when I make traditional beef stew, but it tastes completely different due to the spices.
Sean used 2 pounds of beef, but I only used one, and stretched it with some potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes.
The Ingredients.
--1 lb beef chuck stew meat
--5-6 cloves of garlic, smashed and chopped
--2 potatoes, chopped in 1 inch chunks
--3 green onions, chopped
--3 cups beef stock
--1 cup baby tomatoes, cut in quarters, or 2 large chopped tomatoes
--1 cup baby carrots
--2 T kosher salt (1 used 1 T, but then added some more to taste near the end of cooking time)
--1/2 T red pepper flakes
--1 tsp all spice
--1 bay leaf
--1 tsp cumin
--2 cinnamon sticks
The Directions.
I used a 6 quart crockpot. Anything over 4 quarts will work just fine.
Put the meat into your crockpot. If you are using frozen meat, it's fine, just know it will take longer to cook and get tender.
Add the broth. Chop up the tomatoes, potatoes (ha, that rhymed!), green onion, and garlic. Throw it in.
Stir in the salt, red pepper, all spice and cumin. Float the bay leaf on top and add 2 cinnamon sticks.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for about 6. Stew tastes better the longer and slower you cook it.
The Verdict.
We ALL ate this! Hooray!
Very good stew. It has a fantastic cinnamony flavor, but it isn't sicky sweet or weird. It's just good. Very, very good.
I will be making this again. I like to buy stew meat in bulk, and it will be wonderful to switch up my stew repertoire.
thanks, Sean!

I'm looking forward to this. The tradition Azorean method for this is cooking the stew in a hole in the ground. This is such a traditional dish over there (and if you don't know enough about the Azorean culture- it's an excellent place to research and daydream about!)

I am so happy right now!
My grandma (mom's side) made hers this way - but dad's side uses fennel in theirs, and doesn't like cooking with cinnamon...sorry, long story short - I'm so excited to try this and looking forward to the yummy flavor bringing back some memories.
Thank you.
Yaaaaay!!! :)

cinnamon in stew...i will love this. i love anything with cinnamon in it. reminds me of the old Jack Benny (remember him?) joke about his buying cimmaron buns. he was told he had the name wrong, but in the end he was right. they were cimarron buns, not cinnamon. so much for vintage humor. thanx for another enticing recipe.

I'd like to make this but I rarely buy cinnamon sticks. Any idea on how much ground cinnamon I could add for an equivalent flavor?

I lived in the Azores for two years right after high school! (dad was in the Air Force) I saw Azorean in the title and immediately had to check this one out! "Niki" is right! It is the traditional way to cook stew...and is a great place to daydream about...One day I'll go back. :o)

Saw Sean's version of this, had it bookmarked, but hadn't yet gotten around to making it -- and now here you are with a crockpot version, so I have absolutely no excuse for not making it.

This is a great blog. I look forward to reading it more often in the future. I notice that when I use my CrockPot I end up saving money as well as the irritation of coming home from work and having to cook. Have a great day.

My grandparents were from the Azores, so this caught my eye and sounds great! I'm going to give it a try.

Glad the whole family enjoyed it. I can't picture cinnamon in stew, although I do enjoy Cincinnati Chili, and that has cinnamon in it!

Yay! I absolutely should have noted that it was a crockpot-worthy dish. We've never made it that way (just stovetop and pressure cooker) but as you found out, it works just great in the slow cooker. Glad you enjoyed it! I'll tell my neighbor Felicia. She had some great feedback in the comments of my post too for future versions, i.e., flouring the meat and browning it to make a thicker, velvetier stock. Yum!

My parents are from the Azores and this type of seasoning (cinnamon + hot pepper + cumin) is very common. Try it with pork or even kidney beans...makes for great taco fillers too.

Beef Stew with Onion and Red Wine
- November 5, 2008 at 6:52 PM
I made this today and it didn't go so well. We were able to eat the meat and veggies but not the broth. I am not sure exactly what was off, but I believe the cinnamon was just too strong. I believe I followed the recipe except that I think I used 3.5 cups of beef broth.
- November 7, 2008 at 7:08 PM
- Strah said...
I wasn't sure how much cinnamon I would want in this dish, so I used one stick instead of two and took it out after a couple hours. Doing that gave it just the right amount for my taste.
Excellent stew! I'm putting this one in regular rotation.
- November 11, 2008 at 7:05 PM
OK, I have to say that this is FABULOUS! I cooked it for a crowd and everyone wanted leftovers the next day...even my kids! It was very different but very good...cravable even! The only thing I would do differently next time is buy leaner meat. I just bought the package that said "stew meat" at the grocery store and there was too much fat. I would either buy leaner meat or brown it first...probably just buy leaner since I don't like to brown either:) Thanks for yet another favorite recipe! By the way, all my friends are dusting off their crockpots again since they have tasted all the yummy stuff I've been making in mine...I got a new one:)
- November 12, 2008 at 2:15 PM
I made this last night and it was pretty good. I halve all your recipes so I did half the spices, too, adding one cinnamon stick. I think next time I'll add only a half a stick.
Hubby LOVED it!

This is our new years day dish & I am loving you for posting the recipe.
Of course, nothing goes as planned around here typically, so mine is without the cumin (thought I had it & now realize I don't), used chicken broth after the guy got the wrong broth & had to leave out the tomatoes so that the guy would eat it! But its AWESOME!
& the house just smells yummy too!
Thank you.

I made this last night, except that our grocery store didn't have any grape or cherry tomatoes in stock. We live in the boonies and have an awful time getting stuff like that out of season. But I loved it, and have a little more sitting in a tupperware container next to me. Can't wait for the lunch hour. It was VERY spicy, and I was worried that my picky boyfriend wouldn't eat it, but he had a hunk of bread and butter with it and was happy as a clam.
Thanks, as always, for such great inspiration!
- January 7, 2009 at 8:20 AM
Here is a simple stew that we like:
1 pound "beef for stew" or other cut you like.
4 or 5 red or russet potatos, cubed about 1 inch.
4 carrots sliced as desied.
1 stalk celery, chopped.
1 or 2 cloves of garlic, chopped or pressed.
1 large onion coarsly chopped (2 if you like).
freshly ground black pepper to taste (I like a lot).
a few shakes of white pepper
salt to taste.
2 cans condensed tomato soup (for stock).
Place vegetables in crock pot.
Put meat on top.
Season with salt & pepper.
Add soup, without any water
Stir to coat meat.
Cook on low about 6 hours or till veggies are done.
About half an hour before finished, add about 1/2 - 1 cup of frozen peas if you like.
Add frozen corn also if you like.
This is simple and tasty.

Just made this and it was so YUMMY! I dredged the meat in cornstarch and browned it before sticking it in the crockpot! I also only used 1 cinnamon stick and only 2 cups of broth. I am happy cause I think this was the perfect amount of broth, any more and this would have been a soup instead of a stew. The flavours were fantastic!! Thanks for the great recipe, definitely adding this to our rotation!

I made this yesterday, and LOVED IT. It is rather spicy, and it was a little too much for my 5-year-old. I stirred in a couple tablespoons of plain whole milk yogurt to tame the heat a little, and it was quite delightful that way. It turned it to a kind of Indian curry type deal. And for my toddler, I straied off the broth and replaced it with whole milk yogurt so it was thicker and more spoonable. Everyone ate it!

OMG! I will never make another boring stew after making this tonight! My husband and daughter were licking their plates! I took the leftovers to my dad so he could have them for lunch tomorrow and he tasted it and ate half of it. The only thing I did differently was 1). My garl was dried up so I used powder, 2)I didn't have any tomoatoes so I used a can of diced. 3)it was soupy so the last hour I added a roux (2 tbs butter and 2 tbls flour in fry pan-then added a cup of the stew juices to it) )to thicken it up. It was delish and never will I say, "What!? Cinnamon in stew?"

This sounds like a portuguese stew that we ate when I was a child. The stew that I remember was called sopas (spelling may be wrong) and from what I recall was pronounced something like "soapish". I don't remember seeing potatoes, but there may have been. It was served in a bowl - first item into the bowl was a thick crusty slice of french bread, or it may have been sourdough, mint leaves on the bread and the sopas poured over the top. Delicious! Can't wait to try it in the crock pot - my mouth waters thinking of it!

Hello - I've just recently found your blog and have shared it with some friends who are unable to enjoy gluten products. Thank you from them as well as myself.
I'll be trying this beef stew. Sounds wonderful.
I seldom buy stewing beef. I prowl the meat counter at the grocery store and snap up any steaks on sale and freeze them as for this use. I just throw in the whole frozen steak (or 2) and stew away. The meat easily chunks up later.

I made this yesterday with venison steaks and it was so good my husband was speechless, reduced to groans of satisfaction. We loved the complex flavor created by the spices. Thanks for the recipe - it's now tagged as a favorite!

Made this on the weekend, but instead of using potatoes and carrots, I used kohlrabi and sunchokes. Very delicious - the spices really made this different from traditional stews.

Is this from the Azcore Islands as in Portugal? My grandmother would make something similar with mint leaves and day old french bread. Yummy
- February 16, 2012 at 9:41 AM
Both My Parents and my husband's parents are from the Azores Islands, and yes they are in Portugal. In Portuguese it is called Sopa De Carne(Soup of Beef) They serve it at the "Holy Spirit Festas". You take stale HARD French bread, slice it, put it in a bowl, throw a sprig of mint on the bread and ladle the soup over the top. YUM!! You don't have to use tomatoes, most don't, but they also throw in chopped cabbage that is YUMMY as well. You can add chicken instead of beef to this recipe and make a Canja de Galina (Chicken Stew).

FORT COVINGTON - A St. Regis Falls man was found guilty of multiple felony drug counts Friday in Franklin County Court.
A jury found Ritchie DeCarr, 59, guilty of one count of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance and two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He was acquitted of one count of third-degree criminal sale of a controlled substance.
DeCarr possessed cocaine with the intent to sell it on a first occasion last year and on a later occasion sold the drug and possessed it with the intent to sell.
District Attorney Derek Champagne said the first occasion involved a confidential informant going to DeCarrs house to purchase cocaine. DeCarr was acquitted of the sale count in this instance because he could not be clearly heard on an audio recording.
He had just freebased cocaine, which had made him unable to speak, Mr. Champagne said.
DeCarrs attorney, Edward Narrow of Syracuse, said he was satisfied with the jurys decision to find reasonable doubt in this instance and acquit of the sale. Mr. Narrow added that police testified they searched the informant before and after she went to DeCarrs house and when she left they found cocaine when there hadnt been any previously. That led to one of DeCarrs convictions for possession.
We were a little bit dissatisfied with the jurys finding on that count, Mr. Narrow said.
On the second occasion, an undercover state police investigator accompanied the informant to DeCarrs house and had him on tape doing the transaction and talking about buying and selling cocaine. Mr. Narrow said a clear audio recording of his client making a hand-to-hand sale was a bit difficult to get around.
Mr. Champagne said police learned of DeCarrs drug sale activity by receiving complaints from community members, some of whom claimed DeCarr was giving drugs away to teenagers and charging them once they were hooked.
The case was tried by Elizabeth Crawford and Gary Pasqua, Franklin County assistant district attorneys.
At the end of the day, Mr. Narrow said he is grateful to the jury for the time and patience [they] put into the case, as well as to Ms. Crawford, Mr. Pasqua, and Acting County Court Judge Feliz Catena, who travelled to Malone from Montgomery County.

LOCKPORT, NY - Today is day eight of our good stories challenge, and this morning's story comes from the bright and inventive young minds of Regan Intermediate School in the Starpoint District.
The district held its 18th annual "Invent-a-Thon" last night.
Almost 200 3rd to 5th grade students work alone or in pairs to come up with new inventions that solve problems, make tasks easier or safer, or help the handicapped or the elderly.
For instance, 4th grader Paisley Messer came up with "Baby Steps," a temporary lower handrail for toddlers to make it easier to get up and down stairs.
"My partner was actually looking around my house and said, we could do something about the loose handrail, and then I said, we could do something for old people, and we worked out a design for that but it was really complex, so we decided to do something a little simpler for little kids," says Paisley.
Watch the video above to see more inventions.

Unique partnership to
foster and unite New York Rangers fan base and community
January 5th 2009, Northport, NY – Today, the
oldest and original New York Rangers fan community joins the only independent
New York Rangers publication in hopes of furthering the fan base and bridging
the gap amongst the fan generations.
The Official New York Rangers Fan Club has agreed to a
unique partnership with the Blueshirt
Bulletin, the Independent Monthly
Publication covering the New York Rangers, which will provide extended
benefits to both members and subscribers.
"It's an exciting venture for both parties," explained

The Fan Club began in 1950 as part of the original NHL
Booster Club and continues to thrive today as the official club for the
organization. With countless members throughout their history, the Fan Club

"The Fan Club has always looked to bring the fan community
together and expose them to aspects of the team that they cannot regularly
receive," said Fan Club President Kerry Tricarico. "As we look toward the new
generations of Rangers' fans, we recognize the quality coverage that Blueshirt Bulletin provides and are
excited to welcome their extensive following to our community."
Blueshirt Bulletin is the only independent monthly publication covering the New York Rangers.
Since its inception, Blueshirt Bulletin has aimed at providing thorough and
objective coverage of the team.
The publication receives monthly contributions from some of New York's top sports
writers including Steve Zipay of Newsday and Andrew Gross of The Record as
well as professional online hockey writers Jim Cerny of NewYorkRangers.com and Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

well. Former Rangers Director of Public

contributor, but his roots began several years ago with the Fan Club. Fischler
began the Rangers Review, the

Any member or subscriber may upgrade their status at any
time to receive the full benefits. Terms of both the "Associate Membership" and
"Associate Subscriber" benefits may alter during the partnership.
"Jointly, we hope to renew a spark within the Rangers fan
base. New York Rangers' fans are some of the most die-hard supporters of any
sports team world-wide and this partnership will not only further unite them,
but enable unique joint promotional opportunities," added Akeson.
"We hope to kick-off this venture with a bang by having a
guest professional round-table discussion at our February 15th meeting," said Tricarico.
"We hope that this event will prompt further exclusive events and functions in
the future."
The meeting is scheduled for 7 pm. at the Workmen's Circle

God: Innocent until Proven Guilty
In 1998, back when I was a Christian in Michigan, I witnessed a fatal accident involving multiple cars. I watched as a small car's left tires merged ever so slightly into that "slush" that builds up on the side of the highway in winter (those of you from the north know what I mean). It looked to me as if that was the cause of that small car suddenly spinning out of control on the cold and wet road.
The car in front of me was the first to slow down enough to avoid the collision, and I was the second. The 3 cars in front of us were not so fortunate. I later learned one of the passengers in a car died that night (or a few days later or something).
When my car came to a stop I remembered thinking that if I had left my church only seconds before or after I did, that I might have been one of the victims too. I then thought about all the little things that caused me to leave when I did -- I remember having to park a little further back in the lot that Sunday; I remember the guy stopping me to shake my hand as I walked out; and the list goes on.
At the time of the accident I closed my eyes and thanked God for saving me. I think most of us have been in similar situations. After resiging from my church and becoming an atheist, I'm finding myself re-thinking all those supposed "answers" to prayer and intercessions from God in my life.
So, I have an honest question: To the Christian, how can I know if it was your God working over my life all those years? What reason do I have to believe it was the Christian God rather than simply believing those things just happened to me? Is there a test to know the difference? Is there a way to show God is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for saving my life?
I think that if God exists and is involved in our world, there would be a way to distinguish between something God did and something that just happened because of the very fact of nature (like Hurricane Katrina or a Tsunami).
I know some Christians might say nothing that happens in the world is a coincidence; it's all directed or allowed to happen by God's hand. But I'm asking as someone who doesn't already believe in God. I'm just a member of the jury - what is the reason I should believe it was God who did it?
God, in this case, is innocent until proven guilty. If there is no evidence, no test, no way to show beyond a reasonable doubt that it was God who committed these "gracious" acts in my life, then we should declare him to be innocent in this case.
(insert gavel sound here).

A mountainous region shrouded in mist or brightly lit by the sun, with water and woodland, tales of witches and a sense of well-being – you can find all this and more at the Harz National Park. Located within Germany's most northerly mountain range, the national park is a popular area for walking and skiing.
Extending across two northern federal states, Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt, the Harz National Park offers unforgettable scenery and exciting leisure activities. Since 1990, the national park has been protecting Mount Brocken along with other central parts of the Harz mountains – from Altenau in the west to Bad Harzburg and Ilsenburg in the north, Drei-Annen-Hohne in the east and Herzberg in the south.
The Goethe Trail and the Witches' Trail take you through legendary forests, across mysterious moors and along unspoilt streams. The region's undisputed highlight is Mount Brocken, northern Germany's highest mountain at 1,142 metres. Its peak is often only visible in outline as it is frequently shrouded in mist, a natural spectacle that gave rise to legends of witches – and to the annual Walpurgis Night celebrations. Other attractions include the Brockenbahn steam railway, the 100-year-old Brocken garden and guided walks with a park ranger. The network of the Harz narrow-gauge railway covers a total of 130 km, which includes Germany's highest train station on top of Mount Brocken.
During a walk you may well encounter the local wildlife, such as red deer, roe deer and wild boar. There are always plenty of birds, including black woodpeckers, ring ouzels and wrens. With a bit of luck you might even spot a wildcat or a lynx. In future, although still accessible, these habitats will be developing without human interference.
In addition to the diverse local fauna, the region also offers many other attractions, for example the magnificent medieval towns of Goslar and Quedlinburg, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. You can go below ground in visitor mines or marvel at the Rübeland dripstone cave and the Unicorn Cave.

"The art of Richard MacDonald reveals the infinite beauty of the human body. The characters he creates are playing forever in the theatre of life," Guy Laliberté
The galleries are born out of a relationship between Guy Laliberté, Founder of Cirque du Soleil, and Richard MacDonald, a master of figurative sculpture. MacDonald feels that he and Laliberté are "similar in life long creative goals."
His work focuses on the spectrum of performing life, capturing a fleeting moment in time and immortalizing the grace, strength, joy and discipline of dancers and acrobats. His artistic vision shares the creativity and imagination that fuels Cirque du Soleil and conveys MacDonald's sense of energy and passion.
Discover our shows in Las Vegas
Over 50 bronze sculptures of Richard MacDonald along with original drawings, serigraphs and lithographs featuring circus and performance artists are permanently exhibited and sold in the newly renovated "O" Theatre lobby at Bellagio.
The magical and creative energy shared by Cirque du Soleil and Richard MacDonald has drawn them together, once again, to create one of the most spectacular gallery spaces in Las Vegas, where performance is captured by the timeless and enduring art of sculpture.
Located at Crystals in CityCenter, over 50 bronze sculptures are presented, including
10 heroic-size works, and it features newly released original drawings and paintings by the artist. Highlights of this spectacular gallery space include a 40-foot waterfall, split face stone walls and dynamic steel curved niches. At 3,600 square feet the gallery is one of the world's premier sculpture spaces.

Read: It Is Possible That Things May Actually Be On Track
At ESPN.com, Pierre LeBrun writes that for the first time negotiations have really started between the owners and players in regard to getting a new CBA.
He notes that yesterday's meeting was for over seven hours and both sides finally stayed quiet afterwards.
LeBrun writes "One meaningful day doesn't mean the end. There is still lots of ground to cover here, folks. But at least they actually met. And stayed. And talked."
Michael Grange writes at Sportsnet that the time has come for Donald Fehr to do the job he was hired to do and close a deal.
Bruce Garrioch tweets:
- "Don't get your hopes up over NHL talks yet. Lots of issues to cover. Lots."
- "People want to be optimistic. They have to be realistic. Lots of racetrack to cover. IF talks get serious this will go several days."
Adam Rotter:I have thought since that first secret meeting that we would have a season by at least Christmas and while there is still a lot of work to do, I feel confident in saying that Rick Nash will make his Rangers debut before 2013. It's not going to be as easy as them meeting today and tomorrow and them getting a deal. There are going to be setbacks and doom and gloom, but the pressure to make a deal is growing stronger on both sides and that will ultimately get the deal done.

You won't miss any of the action when shooting video with the VIXIA HF R40 camcorder. The camcorder's wide-angle area has been expanded to 38.5mm (35mm equivalent), making complex scenes easier to shoot and adding more image to all your footage. Like every Canon camcorder, the VIXIA HF R40 is equipped with a Genuine Canon HD Video Lens. Canon's high definition video lenses use aspherical lens technology to achieve low chromatic aberration with high resolution while maintaining compact dimensions. Super spectra coating technology lowers flare and ghosting. The big news about the VIXIA HF R40 is the camcorder's impressive 53x Advanced Zoom. Long-range shooting allows you to create videos with dynamic variety, and is less likely to disrupt the action you're shooting. It's perfect for formal ceremonies, animals in the wild, candid family videos and more. Advanced Zoom, available in manual mode, has been achieved with more efficient use of the effective imaging area. It takes the camcorder's telephoto power all the way to 1,723mm (35mm equivalent) for extraordinary flexibility in shooting. For more convenient shooting and better creative control over your videos, the camcorder offers continually variable Zoom Speed settings, with 15 levels available.
Canon's sophisticated SuperRange Optical Image Stabilizer corrects camera shake instantly, so even handheld video taken at long focal lengths is sharp and steady. Now for the VIXIA HF R40, the power of Canon's new DIGIC DV 4 Image Processer has made possible a significantly improved new Dynamic Image Stabilization mode. In addition to providing continuous adjustment throughout the entire zoom range to correct a broad range of motion, with extra compensation applied at wide-angle focal lengths, the system now stabilizes rotational camera shake. Controlling rotational camera shake horizontal, vertical and roll axis ensures smooth, distortion-free video, even when you're walking while shooting.

Time for Eating Clean in the Dirty City's second Recipe Face-Off! I first heard about black bean brownies when Rocco DiSpirito went on the show The Doctors to promote his book. I haven't heard the best things about either him or his book, so I already knew it would unfair competition to use his recipe for this post.
But here's someone I do trust: Joy the Baker. I decided to compare her Triple Chocolate Black Bean Brownies to my go-to classic brownie recipe from Big Girls Small Kitchen.
Big Girls Small Kitchen's Brownies
I love these. They are what brownies should be. Not too sweet, moist with a crackly top, and that teaspoon of espresso powder makes the flavor amazing.
Joy the Baker's Triple Chocolate Black Bean Brownies
I under-cooked these a little so they look a little more moist in the photo than they should (although, no complaints from me!). I was a little surprised at how good these brownies were, though I really shouldn't doubt Joy. If you didn't know there were beans in them, you probably wouldn't even notice that these aren't regular brownies. I did taste the black beans, but I thought they gave the brownies a nice kick that complemented the chocolate.
Final Verdict
As good as the black bean brownies are, I still have to pick Big Girls Small Kitchen's brownies as the winner. They are the perfect, classic brownie for me. But Joy's black bean brownies weren't far behind, taste-wise. If the recipe were a little healthier (there really weren't too many beans involved) and tasted just as good, I could call it the winner. But given the minimal extra protein and fiber compared to the regular brownies, taste still trumps.
Have you ever made black bean brownies? How did you like them?

Australia's most famous places are now called "National Landscapes".
South Australia has two, Kangaroo Island and the Flinders Ranges.
There's Wilpena Pound, Bunyeroo Gorge's ancient seabed, brilliant Brachina Gorge, the yellow-footed rock wallabies in Warrens Gorge, the Heysen Trail, Mawson Trail and much more. Whew!
There's loads of accommodation. Flinders Ranges National Park has resorts, motels, cabins and camping grounds. Stay and explore. You'll need to stay to see everything. Enjoy deciding where to start.
The Heysen Trail meanders through the rugged Mount Remarkable National Park and past the spectacular Alligator Gorge. This park is close to Hancocks Lookout, which has panoramic views of Spencer Gulf.
Further south, the Telowie Gorge National Park has rock pools and a lookout. The Wirrabara Forest is home to a huge 500 year old gum tree. Drive to Port Augusta and see some unique plant species in the Arid Lands Botanic Garden.
The must-see Arkaroola Wilderness Sanctuary is in The Vulkathunha-Gammon Ranges National Park. Arkaroola's awesome four wheel drive Ridgetop Tour is justifiably world-famous. Like everywhere in the South Australian Outback, the night skies above Arkaroola blaze with stars and planets and a great highlight of a stay here is to explore them through the largest privately owned telescope in Australia. To the south, you'll find an incredible Aboriginal rock art gallery in Chambers Gorge.
The Lake Eyre Basin National Park includes iconic Lake Eyre. This magnificent lake is described as an inland sea, which is what it looks like when it fills after monsoonal rains. Cooper Creek occupies about one quarter of the basin. It fills Lake Eyre with water from the Innamincka Regional Reserve and the world heritage listed Coongie Lakes National Park.
Another reason to visit this reserve is to see Australia's largest billabong, the Cullyamurra Waterhole. Like the Blinman Pools in the Flinders Ranges, the wildlife and birdlife here is remarkable.
It's a long way to go for a hot "bath" but after crossing the Simpson Desert, the Dalhousie Springs in the adjacent Witjira National Park is a rare outback experience.
If you want to make that journey, you'll need a Desert Parks Pass which covers six parks including Coongie Lakes, Lake Eyre and Innamincka National Parks.
The Flinders Ranges and Outback, discover why it's recognised as part of our
"National Landscape."
Here are some great ideas for you to try while you're in the area.
There are plenty of events on in the Flinders Ranges. Here are some ideas you might like.

|Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: 1. Control
Experimental: 2. Health Information Prescription
Other: Health Information Prescription - MedlinePlus link
The patient education materials will consist of approximately 21 topics representing some of the most common conditions seen at the Fairview Internal Medicine Clinic. Twenty-one e-mails, one per topic, will be created by Fairview physicians to be distributed to selected clinic patients. There will be a standard e-mail for each condition with a specific link to MedlinePlus. To create the targeted health information topic email, the physician will review the information available at MedlinePlus. The physician will then select several links of appropriate information and, using the template, will write a short annotation on each link.
Detailed Description:
Providing patient education in an outpatient practice can be challenging in part due to the variety of patient medical conditions and the quantity of materials needed. Increasingly, electronic resources such as those found on the internet have the potential to provide easily accessible needed information. However, clinicians do not have the time to assemble a list of websites for their patients and even if they did, the quality of information varies greatly and would require close screening. MedlinePlus is a free National Library of Medicine sponsored website that features health information on hundreds of conditions with all information carefully screened for quality standards by expert librarians. We will conduct a pilot study to seamlessly integrate provider-customized MedlinePlus health education prescriptions for specific conditions into the normal clinic workflow to motivate patients to access and expand their use of MedlinePlus to benefit their health. As HIV prevention/education is very important, we will include the HIV clinic as well as a general internal medicine clinic.

Never, not even in the Great Depression, after adjusting for inflation have farm milk prices been so low. Family farms are being destroyed, but that's nothing new. "Well, they didn't save the Mom and Pop grocery store, why save the family farm?" many will say. Larger, more efficient farms are replacing them, we are told. The giants will save us, experts have maintained.
This time, however, the giants are falling as well. Some banks are trying to prop some of them up. Some farmers are borrowing from their implement dealers and some are racking up personal credit card debt at high rates. Just this month, a dairy farm with 1,700 cows in Wisconsin, and an 850-cow dairy farm in Vermont, have filed bankruptcy. Several farms in Idaho have been served with foreclosure in one week. The smallest had 950 cows.
The 2002 Farm Bill did create a new dairy payment called the Milk Income Loss Contract (MILC) program that compensates farmers when the farm milk price falls below a certain level. While this small payment helps cushion losses by providing about 1/3 of farmers' income lost during this past year, it does nothing to increase the price for dairy farmers.
Adding to the confusion is the current system for farm milk pricing. If ever there was a program designed to deny understanding it is milk pricing. Most farmers don't understand milk pricing, nor do their Cooperative Extension agents. Questions on the system are directed to PhD dairy economists at land-grant colleges. These experts will happily spew forth facts and data on cows and milk and efficiency until the questioner is blinded by facts. At this point the processed ready-to-eat conclusion is offered: "Farmers are just plain too efficient." They will say. "When the price was high last year, well, they just cranked up milk production." they will add. "What it really comes down to is the fact there is too much milk," they continue. If there is one thing Americans learn about economics in school it's the old supply and demand story. Too much of anything and the price goes down. Americans are assured there is just too much milk.
Overly simplistic explanations of supply and demand wither when the import data is revealed. While experts talk about supply and demand driving down farm milk price, the United States increased imported cheese by 12.6 percent (up over 34,830,475 pounds from January through September of 2002 alone).
Before leaping to the conclusion we have developed a taste for exotic imported cheese, it is important to know we now import plain old cheddar from India and Poland. Goya, a hard grating cheese, is pouring in from Lithuania. The only criterion is cheap. Cheese imports from Argentina, where the currency has lost 73 percent of value, have increased 63 percent this year.
Some of the stress and impacts are visible: farm foreclosures, auctions, and their impacts on the rural community. Other results are much harder to see - the stress and depression among farm families and the escalating level of dairy imports. Some dairy imports are very obvious - trucks hauling across our borders; others are in the form of dairy substitutes in processed foods.
Corporations benefit from a depressed domestic farm milk price and cheap imports fueled by a strong U.S. dollar. Consumer prices remain at their same levels or are on the increase. Normal theories of supply and demand fall before corporate greed. Dairy farmers, the environment, and consumers of all dairy products are the losers.

|Federal Lockout--Tourists Still Come
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 07 October 2013 06:09
We saw our first weekend of the Federal shutdown, but tourists were still visiting sights—closed sites—along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The parking lot at Price Lake was full with visitors all around the shores—and even some boats out in the water. Near-by at Price Park, visitors parked
along grassy areas just outside the fence and hiked in to use the picnic areas and other facilities, although whether bathrooms were available anywhere along the Parkway was not clear. Leaves were nearing their peak of color along the highest parts of Grandfather Mountain, which was open and doing brisk business on the first weekend of October. Parkway Police are still on the job and were seen dealing with their regular issues along the stretch through the High Country. Just how the shutdown may impact the fall tourist season monetarily remains to be seen.
