SCITUATE ŌĆö Showdowns donŌĆÖt get any better than this ŌĆō first place sitting on the line, ace pitchers dueling each other, and extra innings needed to decide the outcome.
For Tolman, victories donŌĆÖt get any better than the ones they nailed down on the road on Monday afternoon against Division II-North foe Scituate at Manning Field.
Joey Fernandes and Nick Kempf delivered clutch two-out hits that knocked in runs late in the contest, and Carlos Sanabria was splendid in pitching a five-hitter to help Tolman bus home with a 5-4 victory and take over sole possession of first place in the standings.
The win was the 10th in a row ŌĆō eighth in league action ŌĆō for the surging Tigers, who are 10-1 in the division and 12-1 overall and suffered their defeat back on April 18 in an ugly 10-1 loss to the Spartans at Slater Park.
For 5┬Į innings, this day certainly looked like it was going to belong to Tolman. Not only was Sanabria dealing zeroes and working on a one-hit gem, but the Tigers also held a 3-0 lead with solo runs in the first, third, and fourth innings off Scituate ace Ryan Cabral.
The Tigers also caught a break in the top of the fourth, when with one out, Corey Hughes belted a long fly ball over the head of center fielder Evan Cabral and to the fence, where it appeared to roll under the fence near the 337-foot sign.
But instead of HughesŌĆÖ hit being ruled a ground-rule double, it was declared a home run, which drew the protests of Cabral, right fielder Nick Pietrantozzi, and Scituate first-year head coach Dave ŌĆ£DocŌĆØ Hanson, but remained a round-tripper.
But the Spartans, who are 9-2 and enjoying their best start in recent memory, refused to call it an early afternoon and battled back for four runs in the bottom of the sixth.
Singles by Scott Lynch and Jim Gianquitti opened the inning, and Evan Cabral, who four pitches into his at-bat, thought he struck out on an inside fastball that was called a ball, responded with a long double into the gap in left-center to drive in Lynch.
An intentional walk to Ryan Cabral then loaded the bases for Scott Iacobucci, who drove in Gianquitti and moved the Cabral brothers into scoring position with a groundout, and Pietrantozzi followed with a line single to left to bring in two runs and give the Spartans the lead.
Tolman then bravely responded in its final swings to force bonus baseball. An infield hit by Kempf was followed by an intentional walk to Sanabria, and after Nate Gagnon got both runners into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt, Alex Lopez, who tripled to right in his previous at-bat, flew out to shallow center for the second out,
But thatŌĆÖs when Fernandes stepped to the plate, and he promptly lined a single to right to drive in Kempf with the tying run and keep the game going.
ŌĆ£I called him over (before his at-bat) and I said to him, ŌĆśYou know, as a senior, this is a big spot. This is what big players do,ŌĆÖ recalled Tolman coach Theo Murray, ŌĆ£and Joey came through with the biggest hit of the year for not only us, but for him.ŌĆØ
In the eighth, it was KempfŌĆÖs turn to deliver a clutch hit. With two gone and no one on base, Jason Maynard reached on a two-base throwing error, and Kempf, who went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in the game, ripped a line single up the middle to plate Maynard.
ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖre up 3-0 and they come back and put a four-spot up, and itŌĆÖs very easy for a team to just say, ŌĆśYou know what? ItŌĆÖs not our day. We had our chances and we let it go,ŌĆÖŌĆØ noted Murray. ŌĆ£But IŌĆÖm learning. IŌĆÖm learning that this team has that fight in them, and they do. They challenged themselves and they kept fighting to the very end.ŌĆØ
Sanabria then finished off his 108-pitch outing by retiring the side in order in the eighth. After PietrantozziŌĆÖs hit in the sixth, Sanabria set down eight of the final nine batters he faced, and while he only struck out three batters, he only had the one intentional walk and he didnŌĆÖt allow his first hit until Iacobucci doubled with two outs in the fourth.
ŌĆ£Going into the game ŌĆō and IŌĆÖm sure Dave felt the same way ŌĆō the Cy Young winner out of Division II-North is going to come out of this game,ŌĆØ said Murray. ŌĆ£I thought (Ryan Cabral) did a fantastic job. I take nothing away from him. I thought he was very good at times mixing his pitches up. HeŌĆÖs a very good pitcher, and thatŌĆÖs a good team over there.
ŌĆ£Carlos was tested a little bit today,ŌĆØ added Murray. ŌĆ£Those were the only earned runs he gave up this year. ThatŌĆÖs a great team he faced, and he buckled down and he was getting stronger as we were getting toward the end.ŌĆØ
The Tigers, who collected 11 hits off Ryan Cabral, who went 7 2/3 innings before giving way to Evan Cabral after KempfŌĆÖs hit, also received a single and a long third-inning, run-scoring double to left-center from Sanabria, as well as two runs scored from Maynard.
The Tigers are back in action on Thursday with a 3:45 p.m. showdown at Max Read Field against crosstown rival Shea, and on Saturday at 11, they will visit third-place North Smithfield (7-3).
ŌĆ£We put ourselves in a good position today with this win,ŌĆØ added Murray, ŌĆ£but with five league games left, we need to continue to hold pace.ŌĆØ

From Pondering Pants, to Tackling Trousers
35 comments:
- Karin said...
Hmmm, two pairs in four hours?! I wonder if they are including, cutting out, interfacing, etc.
Nice trousers by the way!
- February 5, 2012 at 5:49 PM
- Faye Lewis said...
I think you achieved an amazing fit. But how did you get a muslin from just almost 1 yard of fabric?
- February 5, 2012 at 5:49 PM
- poppykettle said...
I think your efforts have been worthwhile - the fit looks pretty spot on to me! I like this style of pants too - very flattering.
And Palmer/Pletsch? They must be on drugs.
- February 5, 2012 at 6:49 PM
- Bri said...
Great pants pattern and bravo to you for soldering on through this and getting such a great fit! For sure make a couple pairs after the trouble you went to for such a great fit, you'll get lots of use out of them!
- February 5, 2012 at 8:13 PM
I sense some ambivalence in your post. I, too, have solved fitting problems that seemed to compound each other, only to end with a garment that fit, but did not flatter.
- February 5, 2012 at 8:53 PM
- Chris said...
wow! those 3 weeks of struggling with muslins paid off in a great fit for you...
I'm about to embark on my first pair of jeans - wish me luck. :-)
- February 5, 2012 at 9:03 PM
- a little sewing said...
LOL, yes 2 pairs of pants in 4 hours - them's fightin' words all right.
Your pants look really good! I know the frustration. Pants are just mysterious garments. You did a great job.
- February 5, 2012 at 9:46 PM
- Carolyn (cmarie12) said...
Getting a well fitted pair of pants is an ongoing process and I think you're off to a great start. Even now, I still make small corrections to my pants pattern to adjust to my changing figure!
So definitely make the next 2 pair of pants and wear them about to check their wearability factor. You did a great job - can't wait to see the next two pair!
- February 5, 2012 at 10:15 PM
- Sherry said...
I think you've done great! They can be a real test of patience, which you must have after 3 weeks! Looking forward to your next pair/s.
- February 6, 2012 at 3:20 AM
- kbenco said...
They look good. Trouser fitting is WORK.
2 pairs of trousers in 4 hours? Sounds to me like elastic waist, overlocked seams and no pockets, how delightful;)
- February 6, 2012 at 4:43 AM
- Claire (aka Seemane) said...
Wow -they look pretty good to me!
And I still haven't returned to the muslin of the BurdaStyle trousers (my first ever) I started this time last year... my bad! Maybe when it's not so cold I'll try again... the thought of slipping in/out of trousers to do fitting in the cold weather we're having here in London/UK right now is not so appealing LOL!
- February 6, 2012 at 5:36 AM
- Lori said...
Looks like you have a great fitting muslin. Can't wait to see your finished trousers.
- February 6, 2012 at 6:58 AM
- gwensews said...
Nice fit on those pants, which is not easily done. Now you have a TNT and can copy design details to your perfected pattern. Good job!m
- February 6, 2012 at 7:58 AM
- Evie said...
I'm such a huge fan of the Palmer Pletsch method. I'd fought with trousers for ages and finally made a pair I love using their method. I've got some lovely black poly/wool ready to go for the next pair. I hope they look as good as yours. Gorgeous.
- February 6, 2012 at 8:49 AM
- Irene said...
The pants look wonderful! Perseverance certainly pays off.
- February 6, 2012 at 8:58 AM
- Second Hand Rose said...
Wow these look great and look like they are made so well! Congrats! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.com/
- February 6, 2012 at 9:27 AM
- sew.dat.mamma said...
The pants fit you like a charm!
- February 6, 2012 at 10:34 AM
- Lisa said...
The fit on these look great. I am struggling fitting pants at the moment ...I hear you .
- February 6, 2012 at 1:13 PM
- Wanda said...
I like your pants. Have you tried drafting your own pants pattern? Much easier to solve the fitting issues when you start from the ground up. I have tried two different methods and one worked just about as well as the other. You generally still have to tweak things a bit because every fabric will hang a bit differently. But it is a good option for people like me with fitting issues - a bit of a tummy and no behind. Wanda in Edmonton
- February 7, 2012 at 1:04 AM
- Carolyn said...
It's hard to see the details in this black fabric, but the time and care you are putting into getting a great fit will pay off with a beautifully fitting pair of trousers. Good luck!
- February 7, 2012 at 9:16 AM
- Sew Brunswick said...
Excellent pants! I have made wide leg trousers for years but am about to embark on the fitted clovers! How did you find the pants for real people book? I bought it in preparation.
- February 8, 2012 at 2:52 AM
- Sheila said...
The pants look good and not sure about 2 pairs of pants in 4 hours. I have made 6 pairs of pants using the same S4273 pattern for each, together with rtw capris that I took apart to ensure proper crotch fit.... um one pair probably took 4 hours. I have also come to realize that despite using my rtw for proper fit, I still have to tweak the pants and thinking fabric is the culprit. With all that said making pants is not as exasperating as when I first started.
- February 8, 2012 at 2:20 PM
- Cennetta said...
Your pants look good. 2 pair in four hours? Maybe..., After cutting and without pockets, I'm able to crank out two pair in that time frame. You can do it. Wink. wink. PS- I very like the Burda pattern you used for this pair.
- February 8, 2012 at 3:49 PM
- Kuby said...
Your pants look great. Pant fitting is not for the faint of heart. If you are diligent though, it can be done. I think you've arrived at one perfectly good TNT pattern
- February 8, 2012 at 9:09 PM
- The Slapdash Sewist said...
What a great fit! I am impressed (and jealous).
- February 9, 2012 at 5:35 PM
- Sophia said...
Nice! I'm still working my way to pants (the fabric, lining, and pattern are all sitting there... waiting....)
I love the idea of churning out a couple pairs, assembly line style!
Can't wait to see your finished garments!
- February 9, 2012 at 6:33 PM
- Tors said...
I think the fit looks great, well done for sticking with it, I'm not sure my patience would've last that long! Good luck with the assembly line!
- February 10, 2012 at 6:16 AM
- LinB said...
Yay! Pants that fit! And that you are not ashamed to wear in a photograph! Sure, you can knock out 2 pairs of unlined pants in 4 hours, including cutting out. This presumes that you will use the same color thread for both pairs, so that you can railroad pieces through without stopping between pieces. And that your iron stays hot for quick pressing while sewing. You may not be able to achieve the nicest seam finishes, but pinking or serging or just leaving them to ravel will work. Hand hemming will probably slow you down a wee bit.
- February 13, 2012 at 1:24 PM
- MushyWear said...
The fit on these look marvelous. It is so satisfying to have a pattern that is all ready to go, even if it took forever to get right. You'll use it again and again, I'm certain. Nice job!
- February 16, 2012 at 12:40 PM
- Gail said...
Love your ideas for a spring wardrobe. The pants are great and thanks too for solving my 'which Burda flared leg pants pattern?' dilemma.
- February 18, 2012 at 10:20 PM
- Chantilly Dreams said...
Your pants are terrific and I realize how difficult fitting is! Thanks for your honesty ;) You have inspired me!
- March 23, 2012 at 10:17 PM
- Wag Doll said...
Wow, that's your muslin? I'd be wearing those to work!
The fit looks perfect, well done for sticking with it.
I'm an incredibly slow sewer so I'd be happy to make one pair in 4 hours LOL! x
- June 14, 2012 at 7:37 AM
- ConstantlyAlice said...
If you manage two pairs of pants in 4 hours, you are officially my hero.
- December 12, 2012 at 2:54 PM
- My Brave True Hero said...
You did a great job, you made an excellent trouser that fits you. Its better to use your talent than buying a new pants in this way you can save money and at the same time you can get what you want because you are the one deciding on making it.
- March 11, 2013 at 7:58 AM
- Lisette M said...
Fantastic fit!

The money you will save after having TAP insulation installed will more than pay for itself in 2 years. All building structures have natural upward air movements so the air in your home goes right out of your roof, which is why it is important to have insulation in the attic. The energy star rating is R-48 for the Charlotte area which is higher than the current building code of R-38. Even if you have a new home you still need more insulation in the attic to achieve the maximum amount of savings you're looking to get out of the insulation. The acoustical part of TAP insulation can really come in handy if you live near a busy road or near an airport to help block out the outside noises in the area. Then the pest control comes with a borate that is mixed in the insulation which kills all types of insects.

28 Jul 2011
Yellowjackets, wasps, hornets and bees are all called bees by the general public. Knowledge of the behavior of these pests is essential to their management; effective communication with frightened or, at best, fearful clients is an important skill technicians must develop. Nests of stinging pests are usually the target for control. Understanding nesting and the make-up of the colony is essential.

Norway Rats
23 Feb 2011
The Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) is a stocky burrowing rodent, unintentionally introduced to North America by settlers who arrived on ships from Europe. First introduced into the United States about 1775, this rat has now spread throughout the contiguous 48 states. The Norway rat is found generally at lower elevations but may be found wherever humans live.Also called the brown rat, house rat, barn rat, sewer rat, gray rat, or wharf rat, it is a slightly larger animal than the roof rat. The nose is blunt, the ears are small, close set and do not reach the eyes when pulled down. The tail is scaly, semi-naked and shorter than the head and body combined. When distinguishing the Norway rat from the Roof rat, pull the tail back over the body. The tail of the Roof rat will reach the nose. The tail of the Norway rat will not reach beyond the ears. Adult Norway rats weigh an average of about 1 pound. Their fur is coarse and usually is brownish or reddish-gray above, and whitish-gray...
Carpenter Bees
22 Feb 2011
Carpenter bees resemble bumblebees in both size and appearance, but are not social insects. They construct their nests in trees or in frame buildings. Most of the top of the abdomen of carpenter bees is without hairs and is shiny black in color. By contrast, the abdomen of bumblebees is fully clothed with hairs, many of them yellow in color. The male bee is unable to sting. It is the male carpenter bee, which is most often noticed. They hover in the vicinity of the nest and will dart after any other flying insect that ventures into their territory. A common behavior of the males is to approach people if they move quickly or wave a hand in the air. The males may even hover a short distance from people causing unnecessary panic. The female however, is capable of stinging but seldom does. She must be extremely provoked (i.e. handled) before she will sting.Carpenter bees do not eat wood. They excavate the tunnels for shelter and as chambers in which to rear their young. They usually attack
Camel Crickets
15 Feb 2011
Camel crickets get their name because of their slightly humpbacked appearance. Unlike most cricket species, Camel crickets don't chirp. Because of their long legs and lack of wings - some people mistake them for a spider. They are nocturnal and hide during the day. There are actually several species called camel crickets. One species, Tachycines asynamorous or "greenhouse stone cricket" frequently becomes a nuisance indoors. Camel crickets often become a problem when we have extremes in weather conditions, i.e, excessive rainfall or extended periods of hot, dry weather. Like many insect pests, camel crickets are attracted to cool, moist/humid areas in and around our homes. The crickets often invade storage buildings, crawlspaces, basements, garages and indoor areas where moisture may be a problem (e.g., bathrooms, laundry rooms, etc.). Control begins outdoors with reduction or elimination of moist harborage areas near the structure, such as removing wood piles and debris
Dorsalis Paper Wasp
11 Feb 2011
Paper wasps get their common name from the paperlike material of which they construct their nests; The nests are an umbrella-shape that consists of single-layered brood chambers of paper. Nests remain relatively small, with colonies generally numbering less than 200 workers. Paper wasps have elongate bodies with distinct body segments, long metathoracic legs that are held outstretched in flight, and strong, relatively narrow, wings. Only the female have a stinger, but Paper wasps are relatively docile, rarely attaching humans unless provoked. Paper wasps are considered beneficial insects because they prey upon many pests that feed on agricultural crops. However, in urban areas, paper wasps hang their comb nest in a variety of protected sites near humans, including under the eaves and porch ceilings of houses and outlying buildings, in attic rafters bushes, trees, under bark, and sometimes under stones. The threat of a paper wasp's sting, and the homeowner's perception
Lady Bugs - Asian Lady Beetles
03 Feb 2011
These beetles were first reported in North Carolina in 1992. Multicolored Asian lady beetles are about 1/4 inch long. Females are slightly larger than males and specimens from higher elevations are larger than those from the Piedmont and Coastal Plains. These lady beetles vary greatly in appearance. Some have yellowish or orange forewings. Some have beige forewings and some are bright reddish orange. During the spring and summer, these lady beetles feed on aphids in field crops, gardens, meadows and trees. Multicolored Asian lady beetles are effective predators of aphids and some scale insects and are extremely beneficial for both agricultural and horticultural crops. As temperatures start to cool in the fall , the adult lady beetles begin their search for protected places in which they can pass the winter. The beetles use visual or physical cues to find suitable overwintering sites. These locations tend to be the sunnier or warmer sides of buildings, or on exposed, light-colored
Cigarette Beetles
23 Jan 2011
Cigarette beetles are quite small, measuring about 2 to 3 mm (about 1/8 of an inch), and are reddish brown. They have a rounded, oval shape and the head is often concealed by the pronotum when the beetle is viewed from above. The elytra (wing covers) are covered with fine hairs. When disturbed they often pull in their legs, tuck their head and lay motionless. They prefer to reside in dark or dimly lit cracks, nooks and crevices but become active and fly readily in bright, open areas, probably in an attempt to find refuge. They are most active at dusk and will continue activity through the night. Adults do not feed but will drink liquids. Cigarette beetles look almost identical to drugstore beetles but can be distinguished by two easily identifiable characters: the antennae of the cigarette beetle are serrated (like the teeth on a saw) while the antennae of the drugstore beetle are not and end in a 3-segmented club.

|Chancellor Peacock Responds to 'No Confidence'
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 29 March 2013 06:23
ASU Chancellor Ken Peacock has responded to the narrow 'no confidence' vote taken by the Faculty Senate at App considering the job done by Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Lori Gonzalez —by a one vote margin. His response includes, "I want to be clear and unequivocal in my response.
I have complete confidence in and unwavering support for Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Lori Gonzalez." Gonzalez came to ASU in June 2011, and Peacock said, "I still believe this as Dr. Gonzalez has become a valued and respected member of my leadership team." He went on to say, "Some of you have identified areas of concern, and Provost Gonzalez and I remain committed to working on them. Even though the University continues to enjoy many successes and initiatives for which we are proud, there is always room for improvement. All of us in higher education are facing many challenges, with more likely in the days to come. The Provost and I are ready and willing to dig deep into the issues and engage in meaningful dialogue with our faculty about how we address them and move forward." What the chancellor's response does not address was a much larger martin in the 'no confidence' vote on the job of Vice Provost Tony Carey, the senate voting against Carey by a wider margin of 26 to 17.

It's become easier than ever for big game hunters in Utah to find boundary maps for areas they want to hunt. Maps for all of Utah's big game public hunting units are now available on the District of Wildlife Resources Web site.
The move to create the maps and put them online is part of a continuing effort by the DWR to make it easier for big game hunters to find and understand the state's big game hunting rules.
For the past nine months, DWR wildlife biologist and mapping specialist Gary Ogborn has worked with biologists across Utah to create and compile big game hunt boundary maps in a way that allowed the maps to be placed on the DWR's Web site for all to see.
Ogborn completed boundary maps for Utah's antlerless hunts in time for this year's antlerless permit application period, which ends June 20. With the completion of the antlerless hunt boundary maps, all of Utah's big game hunt boundaries are now available online.
An area Ogborn is working on now is the creation of boundary maps for Utah's Cooperative Wildlife Management Units, which are units that consist of private land.
"These are important maps because they'll help hunters know the areas they're not supposed to be on," Ogborn said. "Hopefully we'll have them available online before this fall's hunts."
Karen Caldwell, an information technician for the DWR who worked on digitizing maps for the division's Northern Region, is excited about the maps being available online. "It will really help sportsmen see the boundaries and determine if the area they want to hunt in is in that boundary," she said.

Germany: No visible moves to reduce energy costs so far
November 19, 2013 | Michael Ravenscroft
The negotiations currently underway to form a new federal government in Germany are not going far enough in reforming the renewable energy act (EEG), according to Germany's energy-intensive industries association (EID; Berlin). The political parties negotiating a new government have so far shied away from any measures that might lead to a visible reduction in energy cost, according to Utz Tillmann, managing director of Germany's chemical industry association (VCI; Frankfurt) and a spokesperson for EID. "The parties are only half-heartedly approaching the...

MARSEILLES, Ill. (Feb. 14, 2011) – More than $2 million is being spent with local vendors in support of the LaSalle County Generating Station Unit 2 scheduled refueling and maintenance outage that began at 12:01 a.m. today.
MARSEILLES, Ill. (Feb. 14, 2011) – More than $2 million is being spent with local vendors in support of the LaSalle County Generating Station Unit 2 scheduled refueling and maintenance outage that began at 12:01 a.m. today.
During the outage, the station will employ the talents and expertise of approximately 2,100 additional workers. About 1,100 of the skilled workers are coming from local union halls, while others are from nearby Exelon Nuclear sites and specialty vendors who travel to the area for the outage.
"The additional support from our temporary workers and local vendors are a tremendous help to the station and our employees during the outage," said LaSalle Station Site Vice President Dave Rhoades. "The work performed during the outage will enhance the station's ability to provide reliable, carbon-free electricity for many years to come."
In addition to replacing about one-third of the reactor's fuel, workers will perform more than 13,500 inspections and maintenance activities on a variety of plant components and systems. Many of the activities performed during the maintenance outage cannot be done while the unit is operating.
LaSalle Station is spending approximately $2 million with local vendors on rental equipment, construction contractors and specialty services to support the outage.
LaSalle Unit 1 will continue to supply electricity to the area while Unit 2 is offline.
LaSalle Station is located approximately 75 miles southwest of Chicago. With both units at full power, the site produces 2,286 megawatts net, which is enough electricity for 2.3 million homes.
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with more than $18 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 490,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

Duck confit and caramelized onions are a perfect match in this savory creation. Combined with the creaminess of triple crème cheese and an infallible pastry dough, this tart is a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, casual main course with a leafy salad, or anything in between. Best served warm from the oven this tart is also delicious at room-temperature. It can be stored refrigerated in an airtight container and reheated in the toaster oven for a fabulous snack.
• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a stainless steel bowl sift together the flour and salt.
• In the same bowl, using a bowl scraper or a fork, cut the butter into the flour until you have chunks about the size of a pea. Create a well in the center of the flour and add the egg and water. Using your hands, mix until the dough comes together. The dough should be a little dry. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and place in your refrigerator.
• While the dough rests, cut the onion in half and place halves, flat side down, on a clean, flat cutting surface. Slice into medium-thick half-rings. Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a sauté pan and heat the butter using a medium-high flame. When the butter is hot, place the onions in the pan with a little salt. The salt will help draw out the moisture of the onion and cook faster. You may also add fresh ground pepper. Stir the onions until they are coated with the butter and turn the flame to medium. The lower
temperature will help prevent the butter from burning. Caramelize the onions until they have turned a dark brown. Allow the onions to cool.
• By now the dough should be rested and ready to be rolled out. You may roll the dough to your preferred shape. For this recipe we chose a rectangle. Roll the dough to a little less than ¼ inch thick. Dock with a fork and bake on a sheet tray for 25 minutes or until golden brown.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F.
• Take the caramelized onions and layer them on top of the tart shell. You may have to peel the duck confit from the bone and chop to the desired size. Scatter a healthy portion of the duck confit on top the onions followed by dollops of the triple crème cheese. Place the tart in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the toppings are warm and the cheese is slightly melted. Pull the tart from the oven and enjoy!
Pastry Dough
1 cup all-purpose flour
7 tablespoons unsalted butter
1½ teaspoons salt
¼ cup water
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, sliced
¼ lb duck confit
¼ lb triple crème cheese
Note: Most local gourmet grocery stores as well as cheese shops carry duck confit. There are many types of triple crème cheese out there. Your local Cheese monger should be more than happy to help you choose the cheese that is right for you.

Hispanics are the fastest-growing, and with a mean age of 26.6 years, the youngest ethnic group in the United States. Hispanics also have recently become the largest minority group in the nation. Despite the great diversity within the Hispanic community, with individuals of many different origins and races, two-thirds of the Hispanic population are of Mexican descent.
Although some programs have proven successful at the state and local levels, nationwide, a persistent learning gap exists between white and Hispanic children, and many disparities exist between Hispanics and other racial and ethnic groups. Hispanic children represent 28% of children living in poverty and participate in early education programs less frequently than other racial or ethnic groups. Native-born Hispanics have a higher dropout rate than African American or white students. Furthermore, Hispanics attend overcrowded and underfunded public schools, with high concentrations of poverty, at much higher rates than white children.
Even though Hispanics have a long history in the United States, more than two-thirds of the Hispanic population are either immigrants or first-generation Americans. These students pose unique challenges to educators. Hispanic students comprise almost 77% of students enrolled in bilingual or ESL programs. Immigrant youth drop out in disproportionately high numbers, with more than half failing to ever enroll in a U.S. school. Those students that do enroll often drop out due to their lack of adequate English skills or the lure of the job market. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, the number of first-generation Hispanics the children of immigrants is expected to grow rapidly in the early part of the 21st century, becoming the largest portion of the Hispanic population by 2020.
(It is important to note that while the U.S. Department of Education defines "first generation" as the children of immigrants, some studies, such as the Pew Hispanic Center's, The Rise of the Second Generation: Changing Patterns in Hispanic Population Growth, define the children of immigrants as "second generation" and the immigrants as "first generation." The Department of Education definition is used above.)

MIDLAND CITY, Ala. (USA TODAY) - A 5-year-old Alabama boy was rescued Monday afternoon when FBI agents stormed an underground bunker where a 65-year-old retired trucker had held him hostage since gunning down a school bus driver six days ago.
The kidnapper, Jimmy Lee Dykes, was killed, though the FBI did not say how he died.
FBI agents entered Dykes' homemade bunker in Midland City, Ala., at 3:12 p.m. CT (4:12 p.m. ET) after deciding the autistic boy was in imminent danger, FBI Special Agent in Charge Steve Richardson said at a news conference.
"Over the past 24 hours, negotiations deteriorated and Mr. Dykes was observed holding a gun," Richardson said.
The boy, identified so far only as Ethan, was "physically unharmed" and taken a hospital in nearby Dothan. He reportedly suffers from Asperger's syndrome and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
CBS News reported that Wednesday will be the boy's sixth birthday.

FBI bomb technicians were "clearing the scene," said agency spokesman Jason Pack.
Dykes, a Vietnam-era Navy veteran whom neighbors described as an anti-social loner, had held the boy six days in his homemade bunker since abducting him from the bus after gunning down the 66-year-old driver, Charles Poland Jr.
There were reports of one or two loud bangs on the property, and a neighbor who lives about a quarter-mile from where Dykes was holed up told the Associated Press that he heard a boom followed by a gunshot.
A federal law enforcement official told USA TODAY that authorities took action after growing increasingly concerned about Dykes' deteriorating mental state during the past 24 hours.
"They were not going to risk anything, but it was becoming clear that things were not going in the right direction,'' said the official, who was briefed on the matter but was not authorized to comment publicly.
"During the first few days he was agreeable and was taking care of the kid," the official said. "Maybe it was just the increasing realization that this was not going to end well for him."
Authorities had set up a command post on the property of Jimmy Lee Dykes in Midland City, Ala., just off Highway 231 north of Dothan.
Authorities had continued to communicate with Dykes through a ventilation pipe and to supply the boy with medicine and treats, including coloring books, crayons, potato chips, cheese crackers and a toy car. Agents also had gain limited visibility into the 8-foot-by-6-foot bunker.
Dykes had been linked to anti-government survivalists.
At a brief news conference earlier Monday afternoon, Dale County Sheriff Wally Olson said authorities had been "engaged" with Dykes "around the clock."
Olson said Dykes wanted to share "a story that's important to him, although it's very complex. We're trying to make a safe environment."
In an interview with ABC News, 14-year-old Tarrica Singletary, one of 21 students aboard the bus, described what happened last Tuesday afternoon aboard the bus in rural Midland City, tucked in the red-dirt hills of southeastern Alabama near the Florida Panhandle.
"He said he was going to kill us, going to kill us all," she said. "The bus driver kept saying, 'Just please get off the bus,' and (Dykes) said, 'Ah, all right, I'll get off the bus.'"
She said the driver "tried to back up and reverse and (Dykes) pulled out the gun and he just shot him, and he just took Ethan."
Surveillance drones had been flown over Dykes' property, officials said.
"It gives them more time to study this bunker," said former FBI profiler Brad Garrett, who is an ABC News consultant. "Does Mr. Dykes have any explosives? Has he booby trapped the doors if ever they tried to get in?"
AL.com reported "less visible activity" around the command center along Highway 231 than in previous days. The FBI also restricted what images photographers could take Monday before the bunker was stormed.
State Rep. Steve Clouse, who was in contact with his mother and had provided updated, declared the "nightmare is finally over."
"We're very thankful Ethan is safe and back in the arms of his family," he toldThe Dothan Eagle." We must still remember the family of Charles Poland. Because of his actions, more than 20 people on that bus are still alive."
Poland, who had driven a school bus since 2009, was buried Sunday.
In a statement, Gov. Robert Bentley called Poland "a true hero who was willing to give up his life so others might live. We are all inspired by his courage and bravery.
"I ask everyone across the state - and the nation - to continue to lift up these families and the entire Midland City community in your prayers."

A provision in the Obamacare bill gives the Administration of Barack Obama a taxpayer-funded $5 billion slush fund to dole out to favored businesses, labor unions and States to pay for health insurance for early retirees. Two recipients of those funds are The Washington Post Company and CBS Corporation.
The fund is the Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP), and about $2 billion of the fund's total — which is supposed to last until 2014 when the Obamacare taxes begin to kick in — has been doled out already. It is projected that the fund will be exhausted before the end of the year.
But it's noteworthy that two corporations with news organizations that regularly cover Obama and his policies are recipients of the largess. The Washington Post Company, the parent of The Washington Post, received $573,217. CBS Corporation owns CBS News and raked in $722,388.
House Republicans are asking questions of the Administration in an effort to learn what criteria it uses to determine who gets what.
Representative Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) told The Daily Caller in an email: "It is fine with me if they continue covering the ObamaCare debate. When NBC used to cover energy issues, they identified themselves as a subsidiary of General Electric. CBS and Washington Post just have to disclose that they are subsidiaries of the Obama Administration."
And House Energy and Commerce Committee Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations Chairman Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) emailed The Daily Caller with this: "This program is providing 'free' money to corporations, states, unions, and pension plans. In addition, the Washington Post and CBS received funding under this program. How can the Washington Post and CBS be impartial on the issue of health care when they received funding under the health care law?"
Of course, it's been a long time since the MSM displayed any sense of impartiality.

(1) contain the conservation and management measures, applicable to foreign fishing and fishing by vessels of the United States, which are—
(A) necessary and appropriate for the conservation and management of the fishery, to prevent overfishing and rebuild overfished stocks, and to protect, restore, and promote the long-term health and stability of the fishery;
(2) contain a description of the fishery, including, but not limited to, the number of vessels involved, the type and quantity of fishing gear used, the species of fish involved and their location, the cost likely to be incurred in management, actual and potential revenues from the fishery, any recreational interests in the fishery, and the nature and extent of foreign fishing and Indian treaty fishing rights, if any;
(3) assess and specify the present and probable future condition of, and the maximum sustainable yield and optimum yield from, the fishery, and include a summary of the information utilized in making such specification;
(4) assess and specify—
(A) the capacity and the extent to which fishing vessels of the United States, on an annual basis, will harvest the optimum yield specified under paragraph (3),
(B) the portion of such optimum yield which, on an annual basis, will not be harvested by fishing vessels of the United States and can be made available for foreign fishing, and
(5) specify the pertinent data which shall be submitted to the Secretary with respect to commercial, recreational, [1] charter fishing, and fish processing in the fishery, including, but not limited to, information regarding the type and quantity of fishing gear used, catch by species in numbers of fish or weight thereof, areas in which fishing was engaged in, time of fishing, number of hauls, economic information necessary to meet the requirements of this chapter, and the estimated processing capacity of, and the actual processing capacity utilized by, United States fish processors, [2]
(6) consider and provide for temporary adjustments, after consultation with the Coast Guard and persons utilizing the fishery, regarding access to the fishery for vessels otherwise prevented from harvesting because of weather or other ocean conditions affecting the safe conduct of the fishery; except that the adjustment shall not adversely affect conservation efforts in other fisheries or discriminate among participants in the affected fishery;
(7) describe and identify essential fish habitat for the fishery based on the guidelines established by the Secretary under section 1855 (b)(1)(A) of this title, minimize to the extent practicable adverse effects on such habitat caused by fishing, and identify other actions to encourage the conservation and enhancement of such habitat;

(9) include a fishery impact statement for the plan or amendment (in the case of a plan or amendment thereto submitted to or prepared by the Secretary after October 1, 1990) which shall assess, specify, and analyze the likely effects, if any, including the cumulative conservation, economic, and social impacts, of the conservation and management measures on, and possible mitigation measures for—
(B) participants in the fisheries conducted in adjacent areas under the authority of another Council, after consultation with such Council and representatives of those participants; and
(10) specify objective and measurable criteria for identifying when the fishery to which the plan applies is overfished (with an analysis of how the criteria were determined and the relationship of the criteria to the reproductive potential of stocks of fish in that fishery) and, in the case of a fishery which the Council or the Secretary has determined is approaching an overfished condition or is overfished, contain conservation and management measures to prevent overfishing or end overfishing and rebuild the fishery;
(11) establish a standardized reporting methodology to assess the amount and type of bycatch occurring in the fishery, and include conservation and management measures that, to the extent practicable and in the following priority—
(12) assess the type and amount of fish caught and released alive during recreational fishing under catch and release fishery management programs and the mortality of such fish, and include conservation and management measures that, to the extent practicable, minimize mortality and ensure the extended survival of such fish;
(13) include a description of the commercial, recreational, and charter fishing sectors which participate in the fishery, including its economic impact, and, to the extent practicable, quantify trends in landings of the managed fishery resource by the commercial, recreational, and charter fishing sectors;
(14) to the extent that rebuilding plans or other conservation and management measures which reduce the overall harvest in a fishery are necessary, allocate, taking into consideration the economic impact of the harvest restrictions or recovery benefits on the fishery participants in each sector, any harvest restrictions or recovery benefits fairly and equitably among the commercial, recreational, and charter fishing sectors in the fishery and; [3]

(C) with respect to any closure of an area under this chapter that prohibits all fishing, ensure that such closure—
(iii) establishes a timetable for review of the closed area's performance that is consistent with the purposes of the closed area; and
(iv) is based on an assessment of the benefits and impacts of the closure, including its size, in relation to other management measures (either alone or in combination with such measures), including the benefits and impacts of limiting access to: users of the area, overall fishing activity, fishery science, and fishery and marine conservation;
(3) establish specified limitations which are necessary and appropriate for the conservation and management of the fishery on the—

"(2) The report shall include a detailed analysis of individual fishing quota programs already implemented in the United States, including the impacts: of any limits on transferability, on past and present participants, on fishing communities, on the rate and total amount of bycatch (including economic and regulatory discards) in the fishery, on the safety of life and vessels in the fishery, on any excess harvesting or processing capacity in the fishery, on any gear conflicts in the fishery, on product quality from the fishery, on the effectiveness of enforcement in the fishery, on the size and composition of fishing vessel fleets, on the economic value created by individual fishing quotas for initial recipients and non-recipients, on conservation of the fishery resource, on fishermen who rely on participation in several fisheries, on the success in meeting any fishery management plan goals, and the fairness and effectiveness of the methods used for allocating quotas and controlling transferability. The report shall also include any information about individual fishing quota programs in other countries that may be useful.
"(3) The report shall identify and analyze alternative conservation and management measures, including other limited access systems such as individual transferable effort systems, that could accomplish the same objectives as individual fishing quota programs, as well as characteristics that are unique to individual fishing quota programs.
"(4) The Secretary of Commerce shall, in consultation with the National Academy of Sciences, the Councils, the fishing industry, affected States, conservation organizations and other interested persons, establish two individual fishing quota review groups to assist in the preparation of the report, which shall represent: (A) Alaska, Hawaii, and the other Pacific coastal States; and (B) Atlantic coastal States and the Gulf of Mexico coastal States. The Secretary shall, to the extent practicable, achieve a balanced representation of viewpoints among the individuals on each review group. The review groups shall be deemed to be advisory panels under section 302(g) of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act [16 U.S.C. 1852 (g)], as amended by this Act.
"(5) The Secretary of Commerce, in consultation with the National Academy of Sciences and the Councils, shall conduct public hearings in each Council region to obtain comments on individual fishing quotas for use by the National Academy of Sciences in preparing the report required by this subsection. The National Academy of Sciences shall submit a draft report to the Secretary of Commerce by January 1, 1998. The Secretary of Commerce shall publish in the Federal Register a notice and opportunity for public comment on the draft of the report, or any revision thereof. A detailed summary of comments received and views presented at the hearings, including any dissenting views, shall be included by the National Academy of Sciences in the final report."
