PHILADELPHIA, Tenn. (WBIR) -- A Loudon County family already dealing with loss suffered another blow, thanks to two burglars. However, their low blow was all caught on camera -- and now authorities have a better picture on who the suspects are.
The Hickman family of Philadelphia, Tenn. lost their house from an October fire, destroying nearly everything they had.
Of the few items they had left, two burglars targeted copper wiring recovered from the house.
"Found that storage building had been broken into, like someone had tried to take the tractor from the property. Noticed in the storage unit, he had a 55-gallon plastic drum that had different kinds of copper in it," Loudon County sheriff's investigator Jeff Russell said.

ESSP and Finavia Corporation sign an EGNOS Working Agreement (© ESSP) Uverejnené dňa:: 03/12/2013
ESSP and Finavia Corporation sign an EGNOS Working Agreement (© ESSP)
From now on, Finavia can start publishing EGNOS-based procedures that will improve safety, accessibility and efficiency to pilots and operators at Finland's airports. 2 EGNOS-based procedures will already be published as of next week
ESSP and Finavia – Finland's Airport and Air Navigation Service Provider - have just signed an EGNOS Working Agreement (EWA) as a key step for the implementation of EGNOS-based approach procedures (LPV procedures) at Finnish airports.
The signature was sealed mid November by ESSP President Dirk Werquin and Finavia's Senior Vice President & Air Navigation Director, Raine Luojus.
The EGNOS Working Agreement formalizes the operational and technical modalities between ESSP, the EGNOS service provider, and Finavia, in order to support the gradual introduction and use of EGNOS LPV (Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance) approaches in Finland.
From now on, Finavia can start publishing EGNOS-based procedures that will improve safety, accessibility and efficiency to pilots and operators at Finland's airports.
EGNOS provides a cost effective alternative to ILS CAT I, offering similar performance, for free !
"Finavia has been one of the pioneers in the implementation of satellite based flight procedures in Europe" said Mr. Raine Luojus.
"Modern fleets of main operators have enabled Finavia to already take RNAV based non-precision approach procedures into operations at all its airports." he continued. "Now, it is possible to take the next significant step and start introducing EGNOS based LPV approach procedures. The first two LPV approach procedures in Finland will be published for the Joensuu Airport in mid December."
Finavia Corporation :
A state owned company and provides en-route services for the entire Finnish airspace and air traffic services at 25 airports. Finavia handled 493 000 flights, carrying 19, 2 million passengers in 2012.
The European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service, is a Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) that improves the accuracy and provides integrity to the GPS Signal over most of Europe.The EC owns and manages the EGNOS system. ESA is the EGNOS design agent under a delegation agreement with the EC. Similar services are provided in North America by the Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), in Japan by the Multifunctional Satellite Augmentation System (MSAS) and in India by the GAGAN System. Other similar Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) are under study or development in other regions of the world. It is Europe's first venture into satellite navigation and a major stepping-stone towards Galileo, Europe's own global satellite navigation system for the future. Starting from 1st January 2014, EGNOS will be managed by the European GNSS Agency (GSA).
LPV is a non-precision approach. It stands for Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance and typically takes you down to 200-250 ft decision height.

Companion forum thread to:Field Notes of a Family Man: How to Nurture Your Family and Your Backpacking Obsession
fantastic article and a subject never far from my mind, i often backpack and feel i sometimes push my luck with the family, although i think its just guilt on my part as the family never complains. The more i hike the more i want to do and for the past year, doing the end to end- lands end to john o'groats 60 days on the trail as well as the appalachian trail has been to the forefront of my thoughts, but i just cant see how a family man with a job can manage the time off as well as the financial side of things. Some good valid points from what seems a decent caring family man in the article, looking forward to see how other people juggle their lives and their passions.Colin....
Great story Jeremy! Thank you for sharing
thanks for the article! I don't have any kids yet but I will always keep what you said in my mind!
Nice article, I seem to share many of your thoughts. Such an approach also works well with MTB, flyfishing and surfing !
Well said! We've come to many of the same conclusions ourselves. This article could be written about any hobby actually. Having what you want in life is all about balance. And you've done an excellent job of exploring what a balanced family life looks like!
Well written sir!From my view as a mental health professional, it is always good to see overall family health held up as not necessarily equal to financial abundance. More time outside and less electronic babysitters correlate strongly with happier, healthier kiddos.
I must say, I cannot get enough of the photo of your son in Yellowstone. It's so striking and evocative for me. Thanks for the article, Jeremy!
Really good article. Prioritizing and balancing are often difficult for family men. We choose what is more important to us as well as the wife and kids. We must live with those decisions. Mine our both adults now and I've never regretted any of the time I spent with them when they were growing up. The same can not be said of the time spent away from them.PSI'm going to read Unnamed - that sounds like a good read.
What a great article! Taking my 4.5 month old son on our first camping trip, never thought that i could be so excited about car camping! it's an adventure on its own. can't wait to share more with him.
Jeremy thanks for sharing your experiences and practical wisdom. I especially liked your comments on earning family support and adventure equity. You're right on! Seems like I'm always learning the hard way too. My wife and I use the term Domestic Tranquility Index (DTI) as a measure of adventure equity, although it's pretty hard to quantify and I'm always hovering right around zero. I'm really looking forward to getting my daughters out this summer. Thanks for the article, I'm newly inspired. Happy trails!
I especially like the discussion of "big picture life changes". My wife and I are considering what changes we could make to get ourselves and our kids more time in nature. I'm interested in what examples of "more time" careers people have done or even considered. It seems to me that the culture's ever increasing busyness has reduced the time benefit of most jobs. Has the lower-paying-but-less-time job become something of a myth? But I'm sure my point of view is very urban/suburban and IT-industry centric.What career did you change into, Jeremy? Others?
Great stuff Jeremy! When are we going hiking? I took my son to Henry Coe last week but I need a Sierra fix badly.
It's great to see others sharing these issues/obsessions/efforts at balancing family, work, and hiking. Even with my kids old enough to be on their own, I'd venture to say it's even harder for the mom/wife to get away, especially for long hikes of more than just a few days, than it is for the dad/husband. I find myself sometimes gazing up at those mountains with true longing. It's almost like having an affair--at least in the eyes of the spouse left at home. Sigh.
Amen. I've been working on this balancing act since I got married almost 18 years ago. Five children later, I can tell you it's paying off. My marriage is as strong as ever and my career (I'm a physician) is solid. My oldest sons and I have two major trips planned this year, an ascent of Mt. Rainier and an eight day trip around the mountain (the Wonderland Trail). I've dreamed of doing both for years, and doing them with my sons will be a special treat. I've also waged a "re-education" campaign of sorts with my wife, one adventure at a time. It's worked! ;-) Once the kids are gone, we're planning on taking six months to do a long trail. Being involved in scouting with my sons (I'm their scoutmaster) has also forced me to schedule the time for trips and gets us on the trail together at least once a month.
Thanks all for the kind words.I agree with those who said this approach works for any hobby or passion, not just backpacking.Addie: Thanks about the picture. It was taken just a few days before I called you in Bozeman last summer. Sorry that didn't work out for my family to meet Ryan, you, and Sam. I tried though!Kerry: I am an attorney and for almost a decade worked at a law firm in Los Angeles, but after becoming a partner in the firm in my early 30's, I left to work for the federal government, where I have been for the past 6 years here in the SF Bay Area. It was a big change both in terms of the work I do and how my career impacts my family life.Jay: I might be able to go backpacking the first weekend in July. Not positive yet. I'll email you once I know. I'd like to get in a Sierra hike, but we'll have to find a feasible route in light of the late snow. Let me know if that might work for you.-Jeremy.
Thank you, so much for your really great article. You've touched on a subject that is never far from my mind. I think it's important for a person to take care of their needs in order for them to function well in a relationship whether that be with another person or in a family unit. At the same time it's important for an individual to keep in mind the needs of the people they are in a relationship with. It is truly the Ying and the Yang.All Good Wishes
It's nice to hear tips from others who value work/life balance- makes me feel less alone as most of my social circles are career-oriented.
Great article, Jeremy. I echo you sentiments, especially on living ultralite. I have been consolidating hobbies and letting go of more and more lately. I think you are right on here. Living more simply parallels that of keeping a light and simple pack, you spend more time enjoying the scenery and less rummaging through "things".I can't wait until the kids are ready for their first "real" trip. We take every chance to hike. Even if it's just a "hike" around the block we practice doing things like talking about the different plants and animals we saw on our hike, grumbling a little when we have to go uphill, and making sure to yell "weee" down the other side :)This summer we are hoping to do some light mileage as a family (kids will be 3 and 5). Fingers crossed...- Jacobp.s. my current avatar is my little boy on his first overnight tent camping last year. He had just turned 2 at the time. The trekking pole he's holding is bigger than he is.
Thanks Jacob. Glad you enjoyed the article. Love your new avatar! Cute kid.Maybe we'll see him next year at GGG4 (though that might be a bit much for him and you). People were so well behaved this year I might take my kids next year (I think the cold kept behavior in check).-Jeremy.

Almost everything is done but the cleaning.
Whispering Pines, also known as the Jefferson County Home for the Aged, is closing; the plan is to move all residents out and into brand-new facilities by Saturday.
But eight full-time employees who have spent years working at the home wont be going with them.
Instead, they will be laid off after taking a week to clean up the aging building.
I think its going to be a very emotional weekend for both staff and residents, said Laura C. Cerow, commissioner of the Jefferson County Department of Social Services.
The county has transitioned out of the business of providing adult care, spending $5 million to help bring in a $34 million state grant to attract two private facilities with 168 skilled-nursing beds and 180 assisted-living beds to the area.
But as it has moved forward with its plans, which legislators say will provide a net increase in jobs in the community, the county has had to reduce staff at its facility. Now, with the doors at Whispering Pines shuttering in a week, staff will be cut to zero.
The countys position all along has been to give them as much warning as possible. ... The reality is that the county is getting out of this business, said James A. Nabywaniec, chairman of the Board of Legislators Health and Human Services Committee.
As employees left or retired from the county, they were replaced by part-time temporary workers.
We had 30 employees; weve gotten it down to seven or eight that are going to be laid off, Mrs. Cerow said.
In November 2012, as construction on Samaritan Summit Village was nearing completion, legislators passed a budget that factored in the closing of Whispering Pines as a cost-saving measure.
At that meeting, a group of Whispering Pines employees petitioned the board to try to find places for them within the county government.
Laura L. Merle, who spoke for the group, read from a prepared statement, What we are asking is for you to look into your departments and fill your vacancies with qualified, loyal and dedicated employees.
The employees, who worked for the county, were paid on a union scale and received benefits based on classifications and seniority. They were also a part of the state retirement system.
According to Laurel L. Holt-Simmons, president of Jefferson County Civil Service Employees Association Local 823, these benefits, especially concerning the state pension system, were of prime concern to Whispering Pines employees.
When they came to work here, they planned on retiring here, Ms. Holt-Simmons said in November.
The union worked with the county to try to place employees at other jobs, and was successful, to a degree.
But with civil service exams being offered only periodically and a general trend of downsizing within the county government, the majority of employees were unable to find anything.
Many also were unwilling to take the cut in benefits that would come with transitioning to the private sector.
Employees at the home were given priority consideration if they applied to work at the new facilities: Samaritan Summit Village and Meadowbrook Terrace in Carthage.
Despite this, many of them held out hope that they would be able to find jobs that would allow them to get back into the state retirement system, Mrs. Cerow said.
By December 2012, when the facility had its last Christmas party, there only were 15 full-time county employees remaining.
Of those 15, two retired, four were able to stay with the county and one went to work at a nearby school district.
On Thursday, Ms. Holt-Simmons said that she was happy that they were able to at least do that much, and characterized the unions dealings with the county as being very good.
Theyve gone way out of their way to try to help. ... Its been a good relationship, Ms. Holt-Simmons said.
The county will keep the remaining eight employees on staff for an extra week to help clean up the building, then they will be out of work.
They will remain on a county call-back list for four years. In addition to their health and retirement benefits, if they return to work for the county, they will regain their accumulated sick time. After a year, they also will get their vacation time back.
Thats an option and hopefully that will happen, Ms. Holt-Simmons said.
Ultimately, holding out for retirement benefits may have an upside.
One of the Whispering Pines employees who has worked for the county for 30 years but couldnt retire because she had not yet reached 55 years of age was able to stay with the county by going to work at the dog pound.
She loves it, Ms. Holt-Simmons said.

The field of Semantic Computing addresses the derivation and matching of the semantics of computational content to that of naturally expressed user intentions in order to retrieve, manage, manipulate or even create content, where "content" may be anything including video, audio, text, process, software, hardware, network, etc.
This connection between content and user intentions is made via (1) Semantic Analysis, which analyzes content with the goal of converting it to machine processable semantics; (2) Semantic Integration, which integrates content and semantics from multiple sources; (3) Semantic Applications, which utilize content and semantics to solve problems; and (4) Semantic Interface, which interprets users' intentions expressed in natural language or other communicative forms. The reverse connection converts the intentions of users to create content via analysis and synthesis techniques.
The ultimate success of Semantic Computing requires new, synergized technologies be developed from natural language processing, data and knowledge engineering, software engineering, computer systems and networks, communication, signal processing, pattern recognition, etc. Example areas of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Semantic Analysis
- Natural language processing
- Image and video analysis
- Audio and speech analysis
- Analysis of structured and semi-structured data
- Analysis of behaviors of software, services and networks
- Analysis of social networks
- Data and web mining
- Description languages
- Semantic Integration
- Database schema integration
- Ontology integration
- Interoperability and service integration
- Semantic Applications
- Semantic programming languages and software engineering
- Semantic system design and synthesis
- Search engines
- Question answering
- Semantic web services
- Multimedia databases
- Context-aware networks of sensors, devices and applications
- Semantic GIS systems
- Human centered communications
- Semantic trusted computing
- Semantic Interface
- Natural language interface
- Multi-modal interface
Some areas of Semantic Computing have appeared as isolated pieces in various disciplines such as computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, multimedia, database and services computing. Semantic Computing glues these pieces together into an integrated theme and addresses their synergetic interactions.

New Call to Action
Contact your Senators to protect camp cultural exchange programs.
Advocate Today [1]
Join the conversation on Twitter [2], using #CampCulturalExchange
Key Messages
Download a copy of our Key Messages about S.744 — the Senate Immigration Reform Bill. [3]
Threat to Camp Cultural Exchange Programs
As you may be aware, Congress is currently considering legislation that would overhaul our immigration system. We have been watching the debate unfold, and it has come to our attention that the International Cultural Exchange Program that provides international camp counselors and support staff to camps across the country may be in jeopardy if provisions currently under consideration are swept up in this reform. While there is no impact on this summer, future summers would be impacted if the bill passes as currently under consideration.
A section of S.744, the Senate immigration bill [4], regarding "the prevention of trafficking of persons" labels international camp staff and other exchange visitors as "workers," not as the cultural exchange participants they are — and have been since the inception of the program. If this change is made, it would:
- Endanger the future of this important cultural exchange program — perhaps threatening its viability entirely.
- Make participation significantly more expensive for camps by creating new government programmatic fees.
- Create more regulatory complexity and confusion for camps by transferring a portion of the program's authority from the Department of State to the Department of Homeland Security.
- Subtitle F — Prevention of Trafficking in Persons and Abuses Involving Workers Recruited Abroad. Sec. 3601. Definitions (page 1507, 6-8)
- Current Language in Draft Bill: (4) WORKER. — the term "worker" means an individual or exchange visitor who is the subject of foreign labor contracting activity.
- Sec. 4407. Summer Work Travel Visa Exchange Program Fee (pages 1743, 22-25 through 1744, 1-10)
Current Language: (e) J-1 Visa Exchange Visitor Program Fee. — (1) IN GENERAL. — In addition to the fees authorized under subsection (a), the Secretary of State shall collect from designated program sponsors, a $500 fee for each nonimmigrant entering under the Summer Work Travel program conducted by the Secretary of State pursuant to the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act of 1998 (division G of Public Law 105–277; 112 Stat. 2681–761). Fees collected under this subsection shall be deposited into the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Trust Fund established under section 6(a)(1) of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act.

When it comes to powering through product in the commercial kitchen, residential appliances just don't cut it. That's why eateries opt to employ a few commercial food blenders on their back line when the going gets tough. Nothing beats up, breaks down, or spins around ingredients like a good commercial food blender, and bringing a few to the party can significantly cut down on prep time, while improving your eatery's efficiency. You may be asking yourself, "If I can do that with one little piece of equipment, what's stopping me from picking up two or three?" We like the way you think, and we couldn't agree more.

One of my favorite things about getting my feet wet in the world of craft blogging is all the wonderful inspiration out there! As I post about the things Little Crafter and I are making, I also look at all kinds of new, fresh ideas on other ladies' sites that just make me want to create even more! The fabric letter I made for LC's room last week was inspired by Kate at The Gaines Gang (yes, I finally found her blog again when she left a sweet comment on yesterday's post!). And over the weekend, I tackled another project inspired by a fellow blogger, Trina, whose blog A Love to Create is filled with beautiful ideas for everything from wall plaques and decorative plates to jewelry and kids' party themes. As I was looking at Trina's projects, one in particular took my breath away. She calls it her "I Can Do Hard Things" Plaque; it's a gorgeous gift for her friends to remind them that they can do anything with the help of the Heavenly Father. I loved the way she took a photo and made it into a personal, handmade gift. Of course, I wanted to try it right away myself, and I knew I had just the photo to use.
It was just begging to be enhanced, so I used my photo editor, Corel Paint Shop Pro X2, to fancy it up a little. The empty upper corner was a perfect spot for some text…LC's even pointing to it, for goodness sake! So I added the definition of love that I found at dictionary.com. Then I applied the time machine effect because I didn't like the mix of colors; Little Crafter's orange shirt against that wall. I loved the finished photo but hadn't bothered to do anything with it yet because I didn't know what to do other than print it until I saw Trina's plaque.
STEP 2: Brush Mod Podge in the center of dry plaque and place your photo on top. Then, brush Mod Podge over the entire surface. If you've printed your own photo, make sure it isn't fresh off the printer or the ink may smear (yes, I learned that the hard way). Trina used a roller rather than a paint brush for this step, which gives the finished product a different look; think paint on a canvas vs. paint on the wall. I like the look of the roller a lot, but I was too impatient to go to Home Depot and get one…
Ta-da! Here's the finished product, which is currently on my dresser making me smile every time I see it. This project would work with any size wood, any color paint, any photo, and any ribbon. You can customize it to match your room; I was thinking of doing a black and white photo with an orange or blue painted background and polka dot ribbon to go LC's room. Even a color photo would be really cute preserved this way. It's a simple, cheap, but gorgeous way to make your favorite photos a cherished handmade keepsake either for yourself or as a gift for someone you love. Thanks again, Trina, for the inspiration. You're making the world a more beautiful place.

Dear Editor:
I would like to make a recommendation that could greatly improve the water quality in Scofield Reservoir. The original dam is creating a bottleneck preventing the reservoir from "flushing" out the sediments naturally. This is affecting not only the water quality, but also increasing the cost to treat the water. Now, with the reservoir so low, is an opportune time to fix the problem by removing the remnants of the old dam. This will be a small expenditure in comparison to allowing the problem to continue.
According to three different reports, water quality in Scofield Reservoir could be greatly improved by natural flushing of sediments from the bottom of the reservoir. Dredging out the original dam area would allow the reservoir to flush sediments off the bottom in a natural way. All three reports conclude that nutrient loading in the reservoir is the cause of poor water quality.
The report "Non-point Source Pollution and Fisheries in Scofield Reservoir, Carbon County, Utah January 1991" states "The fishery at Scofield Reservoir has experienced a dramatic decline over the past decade� Sediment related nutrients are the primary reason for the deteriorating water quality in the reservoir."
It also says, "The reservoir is filling up with sediments, resulting in the loss of storage. As storage capacity is lost there will be less and less water available from Scofield Reservoir. The recreational value will be lost for all water activities. Blue-green algae can make the water unpleasant with strong odors, and can even cause skin irritation. Scofield Reservoir is a culinary water source and the cost of treating this water will continue to rise as the water quality degrades."
Naturally one of our main concerns is the economic impact that water quality has on our business, as would anyone whose livelihood is tied to recreation/tourism. But we are not the only business in Carbon County, as well as other counties in this state, that depend on recreation. According to "Synopsis of Water Quality Issues at Scofield Reservoir, Donaldson, 1989", over $2,000,000 dollars are spent each year in Utah because of Scofield Reservoir. How much would that be in 2005 dollars? How much of that is spent in Carbon County? This has a wide reaching effect economically. Simply stated, people will spend more time with a greater level of enjoyment at a reservoir that doesn't look and smell bad.
The greater concern is of course the quality of the culinary water. Given a choice, I'm sure people who are drinking the water would prefer the cleaner water that removing the old dam could provide. These studies were funded with public monies, don't you think it's about time the public got a return on that investment?

Nothing awkward here, folks!
Demi Lovato and ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas reunited backstage at the Nokia Theater for Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards -- and were all smiles.
PHOTOS: What all the stars wore at the VMAs
After a few months of dating, Lovato, 18, and Jonas, 21, broke up in May 2010.
In a statement to Us at the time, Jonas explained: "It was my choice to breakup, but I love her as a friend. She's been there for me when I needed her. I will continue to be her friend and be there for her."
PHOTOS: Demi through the years
Then, in November 2010, Lovato abruptly dropped out of the Camp Rock 2 tour alongside her ex and his brothers to enter rehab for emotional issues.

"I wouldn't credit my meltdown to a guy," Lovato told ELLE last month. "There was so much other stuff in my life."

They grow up so fast!
While it may seem like it was only yesterday that Dakota Fanning was screaming her head off as Tom Cruise's daughter in "War of the Worlds," she's matured into a pretty young woman -- one with an older boyfriend.
The 19-year-old actress was spotted all over New York City on Thursday with her new beau, holding hands with 32-year-old model Jamie Strachan. The two were seen strolling through Soho together and also attended the U.S. Open.
The British model has walked runway shows for Gucci, Calvin Klein and Versace and starred in ad campaigns for Calvin Klein One, Hugo Boss and Tommy Hilfiger. He was also linked to Victoria's Secret model Behati Prinsloo in the past.
No word on how the two, who are 13 years apart in age, met ... but they were first spotted together back in May.
Fanning is currently enrolled at New York University, but also continues to act and promote projects -- hitting the red carpet at the Venice Film Festival just last week.

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Food processors have long been a favorite kitchen appliance for chopping and dicing veggies, whipping up dips and puréeing sauces. They also excel at emulsions and, with the right blade attachments, they can save cooks time on tasks like mixing and kneading dough, shredding potatoes, grating cheese, or grinding meat. Some even have specialty discs for making French fries or for ultra-fine veggie slices. Regardless of what you do in the kitchen, we can guarantee that a food processor will save you some time.
The great thing about food processors is that you can buy one to fit your kitchen size, family size and cooking needs. These are the main types that are available.
A full-size food processor will more than earn its keep if you cook a lot, bake, or have a larger family. These typically have a capacity of 7 to 20 cups, and most come with a variety of blades and discs to handle just about any food prep task. This includes shredding discs for grating carrots or shredding potatoes, cutting discs for slicing, hooks for mixing dough, and, of course, several different blades for chopping, mincing, mixing and pureeing. These food processors can range in price from less than $100 to $400 or more. What you want to spend depends upon how often you will use the machine and what kind of demands you will place on it.
Mini food processors are just that: food processors that are small in size, but not in performance. Some of these little guys - usually about a 2- to 4-cup capacity -- can outperform their big brothers when it comes to chopping and mincing, they just don't hold as much. These are often lumped-in with food choppers (see below), but they do more than just chop. A mini food processor costs a lot less than a full-sized processor -- in fact, most are less than $50, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Food choppers are handy little tools to have around the kitchen. Sometimes they're small electric appliances -- not very powerful, just enough to dice up an onion or grind some nuts. However, many of the most popular are manual devices that you turn a crank to grind, or "slap" with your hand to chop up your ingredients on a cutting board. They make short work of small quantities of nuts, herbs, peppers and other foods when you just need a cup or less to toss into a recipe or salad. Casual cooks and those with poor knife skills love them for quickly and evenly dicing and mincing. They're particularly popular with people who don't like the tears that come from dealing with onions.
Baby food makers are all-in-one appliances that steam and grind or puree baby food, thus saving your from having to use more than one appliance or piece of cookware. They tend to be very easy to use and virtually fool-proof. New parents seem to particularly like them, as they remove the learning curve inherent in learning how to make your own baby food. Many owners also like having one, single dedicated appliance for making their baby's food, rather than using the family food processor, which may be needed for other tasks.
Most of the complaints we found across the board about food processors are that they don't perform well in processing recipes that require a lot of liquids, like soups, salad dressings, milkshakes, drinks, etc. They splatter and leak, users say. We had to discount those complaints because they're not a fair criticism -- food processors aren't really made for those types of jobs. If you want an appliance that can puree soups and make milkshakes or thin sauces, you want a good blender, and we cover those in our blender report. If you just need to process fairly small amounts of liquids, say, individual cups of soup or a single shake, see our report on hand blenders. And, if you want to make smoothies or juice drinks, you'll love our report on juicers.
To make our top picks in food processors, we analyzed several professional tests, some expert roundups, and hundreds of user reviews. Experts at ConsumerReports.org, Cook's Illustrated, Good Housekeeping and TheSweetHome.com thoroughly test food processors, seeing how evenly and quickly they chop, mince, puree, grate and mix. They also give feedback on noise and the stability of the unit while it's working. In addition, we consulted roundups from sites that have an eye on the home cook, like About.com and Parents.com. While many of these don't conduct hands-on testing, those choosing the products to highlight are generally very knowledgeable in their field.
We give quite a bit of weight to owner reviews because they are the best resource for learning about real-world performance and long-term durability. We pored over hundreds of owner reviews for each of the food processors we chose, weeding out the trivial or nonsensical complaints, and focusing on trends -- both complimentary and critical. This gave us a consensus of opinion by thoughtful, knowledgeable reviewers that was extremely helpful in finalizing our selections. The results of our research is our picks for the best food processors for every type of cook and every size kitchen.
A well-built, full-size food processors -- usually 7 to 20 cups -- is a great tool to have around for the serious or frequent cook or baker. It can do everything from quickly chopping an onion to kneading dough. It can even perform really tough jobs like mixing meat for loaves or meatballs. Even if you just need it for occasional use, it can save a lot of time cutting, chopping and grating -- perfect for people who may not have the best knife skills. If you don't need a food processor very often, or are just using it to chop and mince, we have suggestions for budget food processors further down this page. If you're just cooking for one or two people, or don't have a lot of storage space, see our recommendations for small food processors. If you just need something for the occasional chopping of nuts, or dicing small quantities of vegetables, we think you'll love having a food chopper. Just need to make baby food? A baby food maker is a great, all-in-one appliance that makes it simple.
Here's the good news about food processors: They have come down in price. Our Best Reviewed pick, the Cuisinart DLC-2011CHB Prep 11 Plus (Est. $170) is $30 less than it was two years ago, but it's still a great machine so it stays in our top spot. It's an excellent performer in professional tests, and users back up those results, saying it performs very well in every task you set for it, including grating, slicing and shredding. Bakers say it easily mixes even thick dough.
Two smaller versions of this machine, the Cuisinart DLC-10S Pro Classic 7-Cup Food Processor (Est. $100) and the Cuisinart DLC-2009CHB Prep 9 9-Cup Food Processor (Est. $115) get similarly positive reviews. On the larger end of the spectrum, the 14-cup Cuisinart DFP-14BCN (Est. $140) is an equally good machine, but with a higher capacity bowl, which is great if you have a bigger family or simply cook or bake in larger quantities.
All of these Cuisinart food processors are easy to use, come with a good variety of discs, blades, pushers and covers, and all parts are dishwasher safe. They are also highly durable machines, which is a good thing because the one complaint we see over and over with Cuisinart is that dealing with customer service can be a real pain -- the biggest blot on an otherwise excellent overall record.
If money is no object, you may want to check out the 14-cup Breville BFP800XL Sous Chef Food Processor (Est. $390). This Breville food processor almost made our Best Reviewed list. It's a top pick by more experts and gets equally good reviews by users. It also comes with more accessories, like a second, smaller processing bowl, which is a great extra so you don't have to dirty the large one when you just have a small job. Reviewers also say it slices with much more precision than the Cuisinart. However, its price is substantially higher. Since most people really don't need to be able to precisely slice a zucchini to a 0.3 mm thickness, the Cuisinart is simply a better value, and will more than meet the needs of most cooks.
In this price class, there is nothing that even comes close in reviews to Cuisinart or Breville. If you want a good food processor that will last for years, buy either brand and you'll be happy. However, Breville makes only one food processor and it only comes in one size -- 14 cups -- whereas Cuisinart makes food processors in sizes ranging from 21 ounces to 20 cups. That makes it more likely that you'll find a Cuisinart food processor that will closely match your needs.
Although most top-rated, full-sized food processors cost at least $100, we discovered one model that's very inexpensive and earns good recommendations from users and professional reviewers: the Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Deluxe 14-Cup Food Processor (Est. $55). Owners say it's easy to use and clean, and they love its large capacity. It's not as efficient or fast as a Cuisinart or Breville food processor, but most owners don't seem to mind at all.
Unlike most food processors, which require you to cut food into smaller, evenly-sized pieces before processing, the Big Mouth really does have a big mouth, so you can put larger-sized pieces in and process them, thus saving you a step. It's not as powerful as a more expensive food processor, but if you only use a food processor occasionally, or just for chopping veggies or nuts, or making salsa -- jobs that don't require a lot of power anyway, this will do you fine. One thing that many reviewers simply love about this food processor is that it includes a special disc for making French fries, and they report that it makes them very well.
We saw some complaints of spillage, due to a not-very-intuitive feed tube design, but the vast majority of users have figured out how to keep it from happening and are thrilled with the value this machine represents. It's also important to remember that bowl capacity does not mean liquid capacity, it means solid capacity. You really are only supposed to use about half the bowl if you're processing liquids; many food processor bowls have a mark indicating liquid capacity. If you need to process a lot of liquids, you're using the wrong tool: get a blender instead.
We didn't see any professional reviews of the Hamilton Beach 70730 Bowl Scraper Food Processor (Est. $45), but it's so highly rated by owners and has such an interesting design that we just had to include it in this category. It has a 10-cup capacity, which is perfectly sufficient for most people, but what we really love is its unique, bowl-scraping design. Everyone who's ever used a food processor knows one of the biggest hassles is that you have to occasionally turn it off and scrape the bowl; with this, that is no longer necessary. Reviewers say this feature works great and they think it's simply brilliant. Aside from that, it also gets high praise for its overall performance. It's particularly popular with those who make a lot of foods that do need scraping, such as hummus and nut butters. Some users say these Hamilton Beach food processors don't do well with heavy jobs, like mixing dough, so, if you're a dedicated baker, we'd say go with a Cuisinart, but if all you need is a bigger capacity, the Big Mouth is a great choice.

Mini food processors and food choppers
These small-but-mighty machines are a great choice if you're short on space, or only need a food processor for one or two. Food choppers are great for small jobs, like mincing one onion or chopping nuts.
Baby food makers
It's important to keep it simple when you're the busy parent of a small child. Baby food makers steam and puree in one easy to use appliance.

OGDENSBURG When the states sweeping gun safety law was passed last month, Lawrence I. Kring knew he had to respond, so he planned to travel to Albany later this month as part of a rally organized by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.
What he couldnt imagine was how many people would want to go with him.
I started to ask around to see if people wanted to carpool with me, said Mr. Kring, a retired state Department of Environmental Conservation lieutenant. Then it looked like I could get enough to fill a van or a bus, so I put it on Facebook, and it just blew up.
It caught on so much that Mr. Kring and Ogdensburg City Councilor Daniel E. Skamperle held the Freedom Fighter Breakfast, a fundraiser, on Sunday at the citys Amvets Post 19 to support the cost of renting the buses. They drew more than 100 supporters from around St. Lawrence County.
Im really tickled at the turnout. Im ecstatic, Mr. Kring said.
The gun control law, called the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, was criticized as too restrictive by all of the breakfasts attendees, who complained most about confusing language surrounding ammunition sales and the requirement of pistol permit recertification every five years.
Mr. Kring and Mr. Skamperle were eager to show that gun owners arent a monolithic group and shouldnt be painted with a broad brush and the diners bore out the diversity of opinion within the gun rights lobby.
Some, like George A. Pratt, Morristown, took a libertarian view.
I am against all forms of gun control, Mr. Pratt said. As soon as the gun law was signed into law, our representatives in the Assembly should have moved forward with impeachment. Ive watched the government take too many things away from too many people.
Others, like Hollis S. McBath, Lisbon, said they thought some gun control was necessary.
I am for background checks, he said. Owning a gun is a privilege you have to use it respectfully.
Nevertheless, the gun legislation was overreach by the Legislature and Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, Mr. McBath said.
Theres only one-tenth of one percent who ever do something wrong with a gun, he said. Then they want to make the rest of us suffer for it.
State Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, who was on hand to hear her constituents concerns, said a legal remedy is more likely than a legislative one.
Ultimately, the best remedy would be to repeal it, but that would require convincing some of the people who voted for the act to change their votes, she said. Right now, there are at least two court cases challenging the law. The courts might overturn it.
Ms. Ritchie did not say whether she would support additional legislation to fix what many worry is one of the SAFE Acts flaws, a provision that could criminalize law enforcement officers using magazines with a larger capacity than those allowed for civilians.
Im not sure right now, she said. Though I support the idea, I believe it sends the message that only law enforcement officials should have high-capacity magazines and not law-abiding citizens. Ill have to wait and see the details.
A Siena College poll released last week found that 65 percent of New Yorkers support the new gun law, but that should not deter the events attendees, Mr. Kring said.
People have come out because the law is a violation of the Second Amendment, he said. You cant blame them for being upset over the way the Legislature passed this act behind closed doors in the dark of night.
Mr. Kring said he favored repealing the law and coming up with compromise legislation that would appease Second Amendment activists and those concerned over recent mass shootings.
We need to work together for a sensible law that accomplishes what we all want to accomplish, he said. No gun owners condone the mass shootings.
Mr. Skamperle and a fellow Ogdensburg councilor, William D. Hosmer, plan to vote for a resolution opposing the SAFE Act at Tuesdays City Council meeting.
I believe the SAFE Act needs to be repealed, Mr. Hosmer said. We should go back to the laws we had in place before; those were sufficient. The focus needs to be on mental health.
The group will travel to Albany on Feb. 28. St. Lawrence County residents can contact Mr. Kring at email@example.com or 323-2107 in the Ogdensburg area or Joel J. LaPierre at firstname.lastname@example.com or 486-2909 in Gouverneur. In Jefferson County, interested residents can contact Glen D. Hancock, Adams, who also is arranging to take a bus to the rally, at firstname.lastname@example.com, 408-7340. Other busloads are expected from Lowville and Oswego counties.

|Jay Stephens holds up some bags of his cookies that just seem to disappear from his office when he makes them.
If you are lucky enough to work on the College of Eastern Utah campus you will get an email from Jay Stephens saying, "I have some of my famous homemade oatmeal cookies in my office for anyone who would like some. First come first served until they are gone."
Jay is the human resources director at CEU and likes to treat the staff with his homemade cookies.
"I started bringing bagels to work when I worked in human resources at human services, but that got expensive, so I started baking cookies." he says. "It went over so well that I have continued the tradition at CEU. Sometimes I find an empty cookie bag with a note that says, 'please refill'"
Jay, his wife April and children, moved to the Price area three years ago after Jay got his masters degree in public administration with an emphasis in human resources at BYU. Originally Jay was born and raised in Beatty, Nev., which is located between Death Valley and the nuclear test range.
"Whenever they'd set off a bomb you'd feel the house shake, and in the early days people in the town would gather on the hill tops to watch the above ground blasts," he said.
That was a memory from his youth, and from those beginnings he was also interested in cooking.
"I've always liked to cook. One summer before graduate school I took a course in Italian cooking at Utah Valley State College. That was fun, but for the most part I don't use recipes," he laughs. "That makes my wife crazy because I can never say use a teaspoon of this, or a quarter cup of that!"
Jay's recipe for oatmeal cookies has been in his family a long time, so long he doesn't remember eating his first one.
"Could be the recipe came from my grandmother" he says, "but we've always made this recipe."
No matter where the recipe came from, it is a big hit with the employees at CEU. Jay cautions that this is a wet cookie dough.
"Don't add more flour or they will be cakey" he says. "And cook them for exactly 12 minutes, or you'll have hockey pucks on your hands!"
Stephens' Family Oatmeal Cookies

� cup vegetable shortening

1 cup brown sugar

Karen Coyle
PAWTUCKET: Karen Coyle, 54, of Hunts Ave, passed October 8th at home. She was the wife of Robert Hanley.
Karen was the loving mother of Jamie, Karrie, Joey and Tabitha Coyle and grandmother of twelve. She is also survived by a sister, JoAnn Dawson and a brother, Joseph Coyle. Services were private. Arrangements are by the Keefe Funeral Home, Lincoln
SEEKONK — A man wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, dark pants and light-colored bandana over his face robbed an undisclosed amount of money from a Bank of America in the south section of town at approximately 12:30 p.m., Monday, Seekonk Police Capt. Craig Mace stated.
Witnesses told officers the man demanded money from a female teller. She immediately gave the suspect cash before he left the bank, located at 1021 Fall River Ave., and entered a green minivan, which had been parked near a planter abutting a nearby McDonald's restaurant.
PROVIDENCE – Marshon Brooks isn't sweating the details concerning his job description for Providence College this coming season. In fact, Brooks is on record as saying he's been looking forward to the day he drops one knee to the ground Atlas-style, an act signifying that the brunt of the workload can be harnessed upon his lithe 6-foot-5, 200-pound frame.
"I just want to produce and have as good a year as possible," Brooks said.
PAWTUCKET — Weaving together past and present uses for yarns and other fibers, Providence Yarn Company, an 80- year-old family business, is soon relocating to new headquarters on Division Street.
The company has recently purchased a 24,000-square foot building to house its retail and wholesale operations at 50 Division St., relocating from its former leased space at 225 Conant St. in Pawtucket. Providence Yarn is expected to occupy and operate out of its new location in early November, and will also be holding a grand opening of its retail store, The Yarn Outlet (date to be announced).
PROVIDENCE – After fielding the same questions they've by now heard at nearly 30 debates and forums, the four major candidates for governor have their answers polished to a point where a political consultant could see his/her face reflected in them.
Those answers were trotted out once again Thursday at Brown University in response to questions posed by political science Professor Marion Orr before a mostly student audience that filled one of the school's lecture halls.
CUMBERLAND -- Cumberland High tuned up for next Friday's showdown game against unbeaten Johnston with a 7-0 non-league victory over Toll Gate on Friday night at Tucker Field.
The Clippers got the game's only score in the second quarter when Ben Elliott broke free on a 20-yard touchdown run. Chad Bacon booted the extra point and Cumberland took a 7-0 lead into halftime.
The Clippers' defense stood tall throughout the game.
"Toll Gate didn't really have a scoring threat," Cumberland coach Chris Skurka said.
LINCOLN --- Lincoln need this win. Badly.
Ryan O'Dell's eight-yard touchdown pass to Brendan Reddington with 2:55 remaining in the game erased a two-point deficit and helped the Lions score their biggest win to date, a 20-14 victory over previously-unbeaten Moses Brown on Friday night at Ferguson Field.
The Lions improved to 3-2 in Division III action with the triumph, and more importantly, stayed in the five-team hunt for the four postseason berths with Rogers (4-0), Middletown and the Quakers (both 3-1), and Burrillville (2-2).
PAWTUCKET — Like "trick" birthday candles, hot spots continued to
flare up in the rubble of the Union Wadding Mill complex as late as
Friday afternoon, keeping city firefighters busy. According to Robert
Howe, the city's Emergency Management Director, two engine
companies and a ladder truck remained on the scene, trying to douse
smoldering areas of the sprawling, circa 1847 brick building.

MASSENA The village Board of Trustees has decided to give the owner of a derelict property at 68 Water St. time to rehabilitate his building, putting off a vote on whether to order it demolished.
James R. Venier, the owner of the vacant, fire-damaged apartment building, told village trustees he plans to refurbish it for two apartments and ground-floor commercial space by the end of September or October. He said he intends to correct code deficiencies before then.
Im going through the process here of trying to put it back together, he said. We plan to expand the project timeline to September, because we do have weather constraints for the next two months.
Trustee Timothy J. Ahlfeld proposed a resolution requiring Mr. Venier to have the building in a habitable state by Oct. 31. If the board finds the building is still in disrepair at that time, it may then vote to have the structure demolished, an option the board considered earlier this year.
I say we just drop it, have a handshake agreement with Mr. Venier and trust that hes going to do it, Mr. Ahlfeld said. The guys been a good businessman here for a lot of years, and he said hed come back to us with an engineers report and he came back with an engineers report. Im ready to trust him.
During a hearing Jan. 22 on proposed demolition, Mr. Venier persuaded the board to let him propose a plan to repair numerous building code deficiencies.
I think the building is salvageable, and Im going to fix it, Mr. Venier said previously. Prior to this I have not had the resources to address the problems.
The building was damaged in a 2008 fire and has not been repaired. It meets five of 12 criteria in the Massena building code determining when a structure may be dangerous or unsafe to the general public.
These include damage to 33 percent or more of the supporting foundation; fire damage severe enough to pose a threat to the safety, health and general welfare of the public; failure to provide amenities essential to healthy human habitation; and having parts so detached from the structure they may fail and injure members of the public, village officials said.
All the structural deficiencies could be resolved with current and proper repairs. However, without a firm timetable, investment and commitment from the owner, said structure will be condemned and demolished, former code enforcement officer Gregory Fregoe told the village board.
Trustee Patricia K. Wilson was hesitant to accept Mr. Veniers promise.
Things look really good on paper, as they say. Is there anything the board can do to give us some kind of guarantee that well see results? Ms. Wilson said. Because well have more of these to deal with down the line.
Village officials have noted that Mr. Venier isnt the only person who owns a derelict property and made a promise to rehabilitate it.
I know of three capped basements right now whose owners had an intent to do something to rehabilitate those basements, Mayor James F. Hidy said. Theyre covered with tarp or plywood, and I would not even consider stepping on one of those pieces of plywood.
Im sure their intents were good, Im assuming, but now five years down the road theyve done nothing, he said.
Ms. Wilson wants the board to address more derelict properties.
At the boards last meeting, Fire Department Foreman Kenneth J. McGowan, a code enforcement officer, informed trustees and Mr. Venier that he would have to receive a use variance from the Zoning Board of Appeals to return the building to its proper use as a four-apartment complex. He said the building lies within the Central Business District, which allows apartments only above some kind of storefront or business. The structure no longer conforms to the code under a grandfather clause because it hasnt been used for more than 12 months.
To conform with zoning, Mr. Venier changed his plans for the building, to construct two apartments on the second floor and use the first floor as commercial space.

When I started this website as an experiment in March, little did I know that the biggest story of the quarter would be the trials and tribulations of the publication that got me started in journalism. It just happened.
Nor did I know the new Student Information System would become the topic of so much acrimony. But it did.
What I did know was that I planned to cover what was happening as it happened. And, with a few exceptions, I did. 45 posts and 23,500 pageviews later, I can call the experiment a success.
Here are the stories that helped make it so:
The Many Predicaments Of Reporter
April 3 — Distorter cover changed at administrator's request, profanity removed, prints discarded
April 9 — An escalating series of unfortunate events, how Distorter lost a cover
April 20 — Reporter retracts "plagiarized" stories, writer fired, two editors resign
May 2 — Traditional print era ends at RIT lab, press to be sold, future unclear for Reporter
The Much Unloved New SIS
March 28 — New SIS introduced to students, registration to become "enrollment"
April 1 — Frustrated by new SIS headaches, students create software cure
April 10 — Dueling online campaigns wage battle over perception of new SIS
April 18 — Destler weighs in on new SIS controversy
April 20 — Open letter author calls Destler's new SIS response "frustrating"
April 25 — Destler on new SIS: send me the complaints
A Student Government Election
March 23 — On social media, SG campaign steams ahead, unofficially
March 27 — Santiago running for SG president
April 14 — For seat in SG senate, the toughest opponent may be nobody at all
April 25 — SG debate video now online
April 27 — Taylor and Sarah win SG president, VP
Plus Some Other Stuff
March 16 — Broadcast by broadcast, here's how RIT umbrella scare began
March 26 — 48 hours and a business plan later, contest molds startup ideas
April 30 — Next year, TE3 could run in afternoon, go to Park Ave., charge fare
I don't know what next year will bring for RIT or this site, but I hope to get more people involved. If you're interested in that, send me a note at email@example.com with a sample of work.
Till then, happy trails.

If I was the Orioles, I'd use Markakis's deal as a general framework for an extension with Jones, but look to shave off some money and structure the tail-end similar to Alex Rios's deal. At $11-13 million, the Orioles would be paying Jones a little bit less than market-rate if he remains at a +2.5 win level, and they would get themselves a bargain if Jones ever broke out. Of course, they would also take on some risk in case Jones regresses, but considering his sustained success at the majors thus far, he seems like a relatively safe bet.
Would this sort of a deal be attractive enough to keep Jones from pushing through to free agency? That's impossible for us to say, but the Orioles should at least try because he likely won't get any easier to convince going forward.
What kind of extension would you be willing to give Jones?

What is the treatment for H. pylori?
H. pylori is difficult to eradicate from the stomach because it is capable of developing resistance to commonly used antibiotics. Therefore, two or more antibiotics usually are given together with a PPI and/or bismuth containing compounds to eradicate the bacterium. (Bismuth and PPIs have anti-H. pylori effects.) Examples of combinations of medications that are effective are:
- a PPI, amoxicillin (Amoxil) and clarithromycin (Biaxin)
- a PPI, metronidazole (Flagyl), tetracycline and bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol, Bismuth)
These combinations of medications can be expected to cure 70% to 90% of infections. However, studies have shown that resistance of H. pylori (failure of antibiotics to eradicate the bacterium) to clarithromycin is common among patients who have prior exposure to clarithromycin or other chemically similar macrolide antibiotics (such as erythromycin). Similarly, H. pylori resistance to metronidazole is common among patients who have had prior exposure to metronidazole. In these patients, doctors have to find other combinations of antibiotics to treat the H. pylori. Antibiotic resistance is another reason why antibiotics should be used carefully and judiciously for the right reasons, and indiscriminate use of antibiotics for improper reasons should be discouraged. First-line regimens for Helicobacter pylori eradication are taken from the guidelines developed by the American College of Gastroenterology as follows:
Learn more about: metronidazole
- Standard dose of a *PPI (proton pump inhibitor) *b.i.d. (esomeprazole is *q.d.), clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d., amoxicillin 1,000 mg b.i.d. for 10-14 days
- Standard dose PPI b.i.d., clarithromycin 500 mg b.i.d. metronidazole 500 mg b.i.d. for 10-14 days
- Bismuth subsalicylate 525 mg p.o. q.i.d. metronidazole 250 mg * p.o. *q.i.d., tetracycline 500 mg p.o. q.i.d., ranitidine 150 mg p.o. b.i.d. or standard dose PPI q.d. to b.i.d. for 10-14 days
- PPI + amoxicillin 1 g b.i.d., for 5 days, followed by PPI, clarithromycin 500 mg, tinidazole 500 mg b.i.d. for 5 days (used mainly in other countries)
*PPI = proton pump inhibitor; pcn = penicillin; p.o. = orally; q.d. = daily; b.i.d. = twice daily; t.i.d. = three times daily; q.i.d. = four times daily.
A recent investigation reported that triple therapy of either levofloxacin (Levaquin) or rifabutin in combination with amoxicillin and esomeprazole yielded cure rates of 90% and 88.6%. The treatments lasted 10 to 12 days respectively (10 days of levofloxacin 20=50 mg b.i.d. or rifabutin 150 mg q.d. for 12 days. Amoxicillin was 1 gm esomeprazole was 40 mg, both b.i.d.).
Learn more about: amoxicillin
Some doctors may want to confirm eradication of H. pylori after treatment with a urea breath test or a stool antigen test, particularly if there have been serious complications of the infection such as perforation or bleeding in the stomach or duodenum. Endoscopic biopsies to determine eradication of the bacterium are not necessary, and blood tests are not good for determining eradication since it takes many months for the antibodies to H. pylori to decrease. The best tests for determining eradication are the breath and stool tests discussed previously. Patients who fail to eradicate H. pylori with treatment are retreated, often with a different combination of medications.
