Gulfstream News & Notes
Gulfstream News & Notes
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL - Honor Code and Cairo Prince staged a memorable stretch drive in the Remsen Stakes (G2) at Aqueduct on Nov. 30, when their protracted duel resulted in the former coming back to register a nose decision over the later. The thrilling finish of the 1 1/8-mile stakes for 2-year-olds was so memorable that a strong performance by the third-place finisher may have gone underappreciated.
Wicked Strong, who broke a little awkwardly from the starting gate, rallied from several lengths back to finish just a half-length behind the dueling 1-2 finishers despite racing a bit greenly through the lane. The finish of the son of Hard Spun was particularly impressive considering how slow the pace was in the Remsen, in which the first half-mile was run in 52.74 seconds.
"People still don't know how to gauge the race because it was so slow – the pace was so slow," trainer James Jerkens said. "It was incredibly slow and they sprinted home. He was going faster than all of them." Wicked Strong, who breezed five furlongs at Palm Meadows in 1:00 4/5 Saturday, is set to clash again with Cairo Prince in Saturday's $400,000 Holy Bull (G2) at Gulfstream Park.
Wicked Strong had previously debuted at Belmont with a second-place finish in a six-furlong sprint in late September before breaking his maiden at a mile.
"He beat a nice horse. The horse that was second of John Shirreff's ended up going out to California to win his next race," said Jerkens, referring to Cool Samurai, who won next out at Santa Anita. "I think it was a nice field my colt beat and he came back good and ran good in the Remsen. All his races are legit."
Wicked Strong is owned by Centennial Farms, the ownership syndicate best known for Colonial Affair's 1993 Belmont Stakes victory.
"He's a nice colt; he's got good wind; he's good and strong; and he's got a bit of a streak in him, which is good," Jerkens said. "He's a tough horse to handle, but he puts it all together on the track. He doesn't cheat on the track. He's all business when he gets out there."
Coup de Grace Works with Velazquez
Unbeaten colt Coup de Grace signaled his readiness for the biggest test of his young career with a bullet half-mile work on Sunday morning at Palm Meadows.
Under Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, the 3-year-old son of Tapit breezed four furlongs in 47.40 seconds, the fastest of 52 horses. He will make his next start in Saturday's $400,00 Holy Bull (G2) at Gulfstream Park. "He worked good. It was cold out, and he was a little sharp," said Chad Brown, who trains Coup de Grace for owner Rick Porter's Fox Hill Farms. "Johnny seemed to get along with the horse well, and he said he learned a couple things about him in the morning, and that was really the reason for putting him on. All systems are go for the Holy Bull."
Velazquez is returning to ride for the first time since suffering serious injuries, including surgery to remove his spleen, following the fatal breakdown of Secret Compass in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 2 at Santa Anita. He inherits the mount on Coup de Grace from Javier Castellano, who will be aboard Wicked Strong for trainer Jimmy Jerkens in the Holy Bull.
Coup de Grace broke his maiden at Aqueduct on Nov. 9 by three-quarters of a length, going six furlongs in 1:10.11. He returned to take his first try against winners on Dec. 15 at Gulfstream, hitting the wire a length in front after a mile in 1:36.76.
As he did following his maiden win, Coup de Grace has breezed three times since his last race, the most recent coming in company. He was timed galloping out five furlongs in 1:00.40.
Also pointing to the Holy Bull are Grade 2 winner Cairo Prince; Grade 3 winner Mr Speaker; General a Rod and Wildcat Red, who ran 1-2, respectively, in the Gulfstream Park Derby on Jan. 1; Swynford Stakes winner Conquest Titan; Wicked Strong and Financial Mogul, both Grade 2 placed; Almost Famous, Intense Holiday and Our Caravan.
"It's going to be a tough race," Brown said. "He's unproven around two turns, and it's a real test for him. I think it's that time of year to try him around two turns and then we can figure out how to campaign him the rest of the year."
Meanwhile, Brown was unsure where he would bring back Storming Inti, who ran his win streak to four races with a thrilling head victory over Grade 1 winner We Miss Artie in the $100,000 Kitten's Joy on Sunday at Gulfstream.
Owned by Santa Rosa Racing Stables, the Pennsylvania-bred son of Stormy Atlantic has won three consecutive stakes: the one-mile Awad and 1 1/16-mile Kitten's Joy on grass and the one-mile Pulpit on dirt, the latter two at Gulfstream.
"We'll just have to see how he comes out of it," Brown said. "If he's going to need that little extra time to recover, I'm not sure. But, we have the whole rest of the year and a wonderful ownership group that lets me operate, so we're under no pressure to run the horse back anytime soon. He'll tell me."
Romans Upbeat on 3-Year-Olds
Trainer Dale Romans issued an upbeat bulletin on Monday morning about several of his newly turned 3-year-olds. Spendthrift Farm's Medal Count rallied strongly to dead-heat for the win in an allowance on the Gulfstream grass on January 12 in his turf debut, and the versatile son of Dynaformer will likely test his credentials on the main track next time.
"He's doing good," Romans said. "I'm sure that we'll go back to the dirt in a stakes somewhere, I'm just not sure where yet."
A $360,000 yearling purchase, Medal Count aired in his debut on the Ellis Park dirt before finishing fifth on Polytrack in the Bourbon Stakes (G3) at Keeneland. The big bay colt disappointed Romans when he ran up the track in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile on November 2 at Santa Anita, but the Kentucky native remains convinced of Medal Count's ability.
"He has a lot of room to improve," Romans said after the colt's win. "He has all the natural talent in the world."
Romans also offered progress reports on a trio of colts owned by Donegal Racing. Cleburne and Smart Cover completed the $500.00 exacta for the syndicate in the Iroquois Stakes (G3) at Churchill on September 7, only to be sidelined thereafter. Culprit broke his maiden in his third start on October 27, but faded to eighth in the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes (G2) on November 30.
"They're coming along well," Romans said. "All three of them are doing good and are pointing in the right direction. We just have to speed it up a little."
Culprit, a son of Street Sense, has recorded three five-furlong workouts since arriving at Gulfstream in mid-December.
"He's not far from a race—he's probably one work away," Romans noted.
Cleburne was forced to miss the Breeders' Cup with an injury.
"He cracked his shin a little bit; it was very minor," Romans said. "He's back in training and he'll be on the worktab soon."
Smart Cover sustained a saucer fracture after the Iroquois.
"He's been training a little longer (than Cleburne) and he'll be breezing in the next week or so," Romans added.
River Seven Breezes for Donn Handicap
Harlan's Holiday winner River Seven prepped for a scheduled start in the $500,000 Donn Handicap (G1) at Gulfstream on Feb. 9 with a sharp five-furlong breeze Monday morning.
The 4-year-old son of Johannesburg was clocked in 1:00 3/5 over Gulfstream's main track. Luis Contreras subbed for regular jockey Joe Rocco Jr. for the move.
"For me, the time isn't important, it's the way he did it," said trainer Nick Gonzalez. "I watched from the three-eighths pole. It was in typical River fashion. He was cruising around there like it was a barely-getting-out-of-second-gear kind of thing."
River Seven, a Grade 3 winner on both turf and Polytrack, turned in a fairly spectacular performance while making only his second lifetime start on dirt in the $100,000 Harlan's Holiday. The Ontario-bred gelding surged from off the pace to win by four lengths going away and set a track record of 1:41.73 for 1 1/16 miles in the process.
"What an accomplishment, especially for us. You come here and win your first stake at Gulfstream and break the track record in style. He won easily. You don't often see a horse break a track record while geared down," Gonzalez said. "We were on Cloud 9 for a long time. We still are but you have to stay focused."
River Seven's only previous dirt appearance came in a second-place finish in last year's Prince of Wales, the second leg of Canada's Triple Crown at Fort Erie.

I've been taking lots of pictures, as I anticipate returning to the US in less than 2 weeks. I'm anxious to share but the internet and computers so slow that it's impossible. When I get home, I'll write some new posts — I'm writing down ideas " and will add photos to what I've already written.
Yesterday we went to a market that is closer to the jungle, with unusual products and lots of native people. Many 12-year-olds (or so I guess) with babies. Much more interesting that the downtown market where I usually shop. Not that it's boring!
This afternoon, we're all going to Edward's family home in Juanjui. Tomorrow is his mother's birthday and Saturday night there's some sort of ceremony for Fernanda. More to write about. Sunday we hope to go to the chakra — agricultural field — of Edward's father. But maybe not as it's on an island in the river and the water is very high and dangerous. I went there for a party the day after the wedding. It's beautiful. Thatched houses for shade and cooking. Cacao, oranges, carambolas, pineapples, more crops all mixed together. Probably returning to Yurimaguas Tuesday or Wednesday, so probably no posts until then.

"The three foundational pillars of Hermanos Unidos are Academic Scholarship, Community Service, and Social Interaction. Academic Scholarship reflects the primary reason why an Hermano attends an institution of higher learning: to receive a quality education. Community Service represents an Hermano's commitment to community involvement. Social Interaction will seek to make the transition from high school/community college to undergraduate life less traumatic and more meaningful for incoming Hermanos. Fulfilling the three pillars leads to the development of partnerships and alliances necessary for successfully accomplishing the mission of Hermanos Unidos. Thus, all three pillars should be approached with equal amount of concern, time, and intensity"(HU Constitution).

Anyone who reads our site knows the big ratings being drawn by MTV's Jersey Shore this summer.
From the NY Times comes a data point on Jersey Shore's median viewer age:
With the extremely young profile and enormous audience for "Jersey Shore," MTV has been able to ask for and get premium rates from advertisers — especially film companies — said Brad Adgate, the senior vice president for research at Horizon Media, which buys commercial time for advertising clients.
"That show has a median age of 23.5," he said. "That's just amazing. They're making a ton of money on that show."
And in the copycat world that is television, this unsurprising news:
But one senior program executive at another network, who did not want to be identified when speaking in favor of a competing program, said, "I do think there are things we can glean from a show like 'Jersey Shore.' "

Get ready for "California Beach Bums" next summer!

KUALA LUMPUR: A casual observer would be none the wiser seeing a tricked-out luxury car speeding down the highway.
That is exactly what traffickers hope for as they transport their illicit cargo of endangered wildlife.
Perhilitan, the Wildlife Protection and National Parks Department, said it had come across quite a number of cases of Malaysian-registered luxury cars being modified to hide the animals.
"Transporting the animals using lorries is the more obvious choice while luxury cars don't usually arouse suspicion," a Perhilitan spokesman said.
Traffickers are also getting smarter, switching modes of transport where it is least expected.
The spokesman said the department had encountered cases where the luxury cars were driven from Johor to Kuantan in Pahang for the precious cargo to be transferred to a ship to be taken out of the country.
Another tactic is to hide illegal wildlife by mixing them with products such as fish and vegetables while some traffickers try to pass off the animals as airline cargo, the spokesman said.
He said enforcement activities to stop animal smuggling are being hampered by information leaks, with "tontos" people working for syndicates monitoring the movement of Perhilitan officers.
"We also have to deal with false tip-offs, getting information that is inaccurate and outdated," said the spokesman, adding that the department urgently needed more enforcement officers.
"We have forwarded the request for more staff to the Natural Resources and Environment Ministry.
"In the meantime, we have to ensure our staff are trained to deal with international wildlife crime, with the help of the police, Customs Department, the Anti-Smuggling Unit and the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency," he said.
To break the multi-million ringgit cycle of illegal wildlife trade, the Government is hitting smugglers where it hurts.
The Wildlife Conservation Act 2010 spelled the end of token fines and slaps on the wrist for convicted wildlife traffickers.
Offenders now face fines of up to RM500,000 and mandatory jail time.
The highest penalty imposed on a wildlife offender by the courts to date is a RM200,000 fine and one-day jail on an individual in Penang for possessing 135 pangolins in Feb 23 last year.
From the time the Act took effect, the country saw a drastic drop in wildlife smuggling cases from about 3,500 cases a year from 2007 to 2010 to just 464 in 2011.
While the sharp dip is proof that the heavy penalties under the new Act, coupled with intensified multi-agency operations, are working, the Perhilitan spokesman said the department has to be on its toes to keep up with the increasingly sophisticated methods used by the traffickers.

- 100 Years Pietro Barilla
We have read posts on the social media about the quality and safety of the durum wheat used to produce Barilla pasta.
We would like to state the official position of the company in order to clarify several inaccuracies and to provide people with accurate information.
Barilla pasta fully complies with the standards in force and is produced with top quality and safe wheat. Barilla does not use genetically modified raw materials and the levels of contaminants or mycotoxins are always well below the limits set by Food Safety standards, which are already extremely protective for human health.
Durum wheat is indeed the main ingredient for a quality, al dente pasta, and for this reason Barilla invests a lot of resources in research and in the selection of this raw material, besides having a long history of activities and projects on the supply chain, from seed to table:
- investing in research for the selection and development of durum wheat varieties that are particularly suitable for the production of quality semolina;
- defining the Specifications that govern the growing and storage of durum wheat for all supply chain operators;
- signing long-term cultivation contracts at favourable conditions for our suppliers, so as to constantly ensure high quality wheat. An example of this is the contract signed in 2006 with the Emilia Romagna Region, Growers' Associations, Farmers' Associations and Agricultural Cooperatives for the production of High Quality Durum Wheat in Emilia Romagna.
For specific wheat varieties in Italy, Barilla has been managing the planting, cultivation, harvesting and storage of wheat directly for over 15 years.
Moreover, all our suppliers are carefully selected and undergo constant checks that start from the field and continue to the intake of wheat at the mill, and after milling, with the certification of the semolina produced.
With regard to the origin of the wheat used, since Barilla is the largest pasta producer in the world and the largest user of durum wheat semolina (over 1,400,000 tons processed per year), the domestic production would not be sufficient to meet the demand for our pasta production in terms of quality and quantity.
Considering also the annual variability in durum wheat yields, it is therefore necessary to duly mix different types of wheat in the form of semolina so as to ensure high and consistent quality standards.
To supply its Italian production sites, more than 70% of the semolina used by Barilla is made from Italian wheat. In Italy, there are about 30,000 farmers who grow wheat for Barilla. For the remaining 30% we source mainly from North America. The foreign wheat purchased is carefully selected based on excellent quality features and full guarantees of food safety.

In 1924, two Belgian industrialists, Armand Desaegner (a casting specialist) and Octave Aubecq (an enameling specialist), met at the Brussles Fair. The innovative pair decided to create a foundry that would enamel various cookware items. In 1925, Desaegner and Aubecq launched Le Creuset, French for "the crucible." The men chose to locate the company in Fresnoy-le-Grand, Aisne, France, at the crossroads of transportation routes for the raw materials of coke, iron, and sand. This same year, the start-up foundry produced the first cocotte. Le Creuset began to develop its product range: cookers, charcoal stoves, hot plates for electric cookers, and kitchen utensils. The company concentrated on its range of enameled cast-iron after World War II and became a major innovator of the time, becoming an international name in 1952. As the world sped toward the close of the 20th century, Le Creuset further advanced in refined cookware introducing fondue sets, barbecues, and woks, as well as trendy and unusual cookware colors. Today, after nearly a century of quality, Le Creuset is recognized by chefs worldwide for excellence in enameled cookware, plus its Screwpull® line of quality corkscrews and wine openers.
The mainstay of French chefs for more than a century, Le Creuset is synonymous with both exceptional craftsmanship and brilliant style. A trendsetter in high-quality, indispensable cookware, Le Creuset is constantly introducing new products that maintain its noted reputation for bold colors and long-lasting versatility.
Since 1925, the skilled craftsmen at Le Creuset have perfected enameled cast-iron cookware. Each shape is one of a kind, made from molten steel and cast in a unique mold, and then expertly enameled. No other procedure yields cookware that so evenly distributes heat, browns, and caramelizes food to perfection, and creates a masterpiece at the table.Ranges:Round Ovens, Oval Ovens and Soup Pots, Buffet Casseroles and Saucepans, Pans and Skillets, Grills, Roasters and Specialty Items, Garden Collection, Trivets and Sets, and Accessories.
All Le Creuset products are coated with the highest quality vitreous enamel. This hygienic, impermeable enameled surface means Le Creuset can be used for marinating food prior to cooking or for food storage after cooking.
Le Creuset enameled cast-iron cookware can be used on the stovetop, in the oven and under the grill. Le Creuset is suitable for use on all heat sources including electric, gas, ceramic, halogen top, and induction.
Phenolic knobs are fitted to the lids of French ovens and saucepans. The handles on many of Le Creuset saucepans and frypans are also phenolic. These knobs and handles are ovenproof to 400°F, allowing for an easy transition from stovetop to oven to table.
Le Creuset cast-iron is an efficient material in absorbing and distributing heat, therefore, there is no need to use high heat. Best cooking results are obtained on low to medium settings; using Le Creuset on high settings may result in the enamel chipping.
Le Creuset is stylish enough to be taken straight from the kitchen to the table where its wide choice of colors coordinate with almost any home décor.

Le Creuset Enameled Cast-iron is known for its quality. As with anything, there are steps you can take to care for your enameled cast-iron to help maintain its beauty. These instructions relate to Le Creuset's Enameled Cast-iron French Ovens, Saucepans, Skillets, and Specialty Items like the Anniversary Pan, Casseroles, Au Gratins and Roasters. There are special use tips for Le Creuset Enameled Cast-iron Nonstick and for Le Creuset Enameled Cast-iron Grills & Griddles. Please refer to these sections for specialized information.
· Select low to medium heat for best results.· Select the size of your heat source so that it is as close as possible to the base size of your pan. This will prevent energy loss and overheating of the handle.· Gently pre-heat utensil on low setting for 23 minutes then add oil or liquid to the pan.· Use only wooden, plastic, or heat resistant nylon tools, to avoid scratching the enamel.· Use a potholder or oven glove to lift metal handled pans from the stovetop or oven.· Stand hot pans on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on unprotected counter tops.· When using pans on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift them (do not slide) to move.· If a pan is banged against a hard surface or is dropped, it may chip or break.· Pans with metal or heat resistant plastic handles may be used in the oven. The maximum temperature that should be used is 450°F.· Cool pans before washing in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.· Remove stubborn food residues with a plastic or sponge scourer onlydo not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners of any kind.· Dry pans thoroughly after washingdo not leave to drain or put away while still damp.· Pans with metal or plastic handles may be washed in a dishwasher. Wooden-handled products should not be put in a dishwasher.· Handles and knobs may become loose over a period of time. Check them once in a while and tighten as needed.
HeatBecause of the heat retaining properties of cast-iron, Le Creuset products do not require high heats at any time-use medium to low heat settings to maintain ideal cooking temperatures. High heats and subsequent overheating will permanently damage the surface.As a guide, on a gas stovetop, you can see the volume of heat by the size of the flame. A HIGH heat will produce a flame that extends to the edge of the product base. On a MEDIUM heat, the flame should extend to no more than half way across the base. On a LOW heat, the flame should just cover the central area. Very often there are indicators on the control knobs showing where the settings are for HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW.Le Creuset cast-iron is suitable for all heat sources and is tested and approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute for use on glass-topped stovetops. However, owing to the natural weight of cast-iron, it is advisable to lift the cookware on and off the burner instead of sliding them across the surface. Care should also be taken not to bang the cast-iron down on the ceramic surface.Most importantly, use MEDIUM and LOW heat for best cooking results. This will minimize the risk of food sticking in the pan. Use high heat only for boiling water or water-based cooking. For other cooking, heat pan slowly using a medium heat, then reduce to low.· Use pots and pans that fit the burner size to assure proper heat dispersion. Placing a small pan on a large burner will result in the sidewalls becoming over-heated and the handles becoming damaged or too hot to handle.· Always add food or liquid before heating. Do not heat an empty pan.· Use wooden or heat resistant plastic or nylon tools for stirring on enameled surfaces. These are kinder to the enamel surface. Using metal tools occasionally will not hurt the cooking surface, but repeated use may cause scratches or abrasions.
Heat-Resistant Plastic:Products with these handles or knobs can be washed in a dishwasher. They can be used in an oven, but to protect the plastic, the maximum temperature should be no more than 450°F. Care should also be taken not to leave these handles touching the hot oven sides as damage may occur. These handles are not resistant to the direct heat of a hot broiler. Such direct heat will cause damage by blistering and cracking the plastic.Phenolic knobs are heat proof to 450°F. Further, it is best to keep phenolic knobs away from the heating elements in an oven as the temperature in this area is generally hotter than the temperature throughout the oven.Metal:Some products have integral metal handles. These can be used in the oven or under a hot broiler, but with the same maximum temperature of 450°F. These handles will get hot. Always use a handle glove, oven mitt, or dry cloth for lifting these pans.Tightening handles and knobs:Over time and when cookware is in constant use, the fixing screws for handles may loosen slightly. Occasionally check that the handles and knobs are fully tightened.
The Le Creuset base is hard-wearing, with a very smooth enameled finish applied to each piece. The smooth finish gives excellent heat diffusion and is easy to keep clean. This special base also makes each piece suitable for all heat sources and all glass-topped stovetops, such as ceramic, halogen, and induction. To maintain the appearance of the base, always "lift" it on and off any stovetop or burner. DO NOT DRAG the pan's base across the surface and take care not to knock it or drop it against a hard surface. With a little care, your Le Creuset cookware will last for your lifetime.Helpful Hints1. Do not hit utensils on the top edge of pans.2. Always use a pot holder, handle glove, or dry cloth to lift all pieces with metal handles.3. Stand hot pans on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on an unprotected worktop.
· Select low to medium heat for best results.· Select the size of your heat source so that it is as close as possible to the base size of your pan. This will prevent energy loss and overheating of the handle.· Gently pre-heat utensil on low setting for 23 minutes then add oil or liquid to the pan.· Use only wooden, plastic, or heat-resistant nylon tools, to avoid scratching the enamel.· Use a pot holder or oven glove to lift metal handled pans from the stove top or oven.· Stand hot pans on a Le Creuset trivet, board or cloth, not directly on unprotected counter tops.· When using pans on ceramic or halogen stovetops, always lift them (do not slide) to move.· If a pan is banged against a hard surface or is dropped, it may chip or break.· Pans with metal or heat-resistant plastic handles may be used in the oven. The maximum temperature that should be used is 450°F.· Cool pans before washing in hot soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.· Remove stubborn food residues with a plastic or sponge scourer only-do not use metal scourers or abrasive cleaners of any kind.· Dry pans thoroughly after washingdo not leave to drain or put away while still damp.· Pans with metal or plastic handles may be washed in a dishwasher. Wooden-handled products should not be put in a dishwasher.· Handles and knobs may become loose over a period of time. Check them once in a while and tighten as needed.
Q: Is Le Creuset's weight a benefit?A: Yes. Heavy pots and pans such as those made by Le Creuset:· Distribute heat more evenly.· Ensure moisture and flavors are sealed in by heavy, tight-fitting lids.· Prevent pans from "dancing" on the stovetop, freeing up an extra hand.· Increases pan's longevity by preventing warping or burning.· Retain heat longer which keeps foods hot when serving.Q: Is Le Creuset chip resistant?A: Yes. Le Creuset's coating is porcelain enamel. Through normal use, Le Creuset is difficult to chip. Le Creuset's enamel coating is fired at 1450°F. Although the iron gives it strength, care should be taken not to drop Le Creuset or to strike it with hard objects. Also, thermal shock should be avoided.Q: How do you clean the cookware?A: Hand-wash using a nylon brush or pad in warm, sudsy water to maintain the beauty of your finish.Q: Can Le Creuset be washed in the dishwasher?A: Yes, but not the pieces with wood handles. Since Le Creuset is very easy to clean, it is often easier to clean and dry by hand. Hand-washing in warm sudsy water with a nylon brush or pad to maintain the beauty of your finish is recommended.Q: Can stains be removed without costly special cleaners?A: Yes, by soaking 23 hours with a bleach solution of one teaspoon household bleach per pint of water.Q: Is Le Creuset lead free?A: Yes.Q: Is the Glissemail interior stick resistant?A: Yes, at low temperatures it is stick resistant, however it is not a nonstick. Unlike nonstick interiors, the Glissemail interior can withstand high heat on top of the stove, in the oven, or under the broiler, which makes this interior very versatile.Q: Does Le Creuset offer a nonstick interior?A: Yes, introduced in 2000, Le Creuset's unique nonstick process combines a special base coat enamel plus three coats of Silverstone Nonstick. Designed for low temperatures and gentle cooking applications only.Q: What temperature should you cook on?A: Start on medium, which is the halfway point on the dial (5 out of 10) and decrease. Never cook above medium heat.Q: What types of utensils should you use?A: Wood or nylon. We don't recommend using metal utensils.Q: Can I put cookware with knobs in the oven?A: Yes, but don't heat the knobs over 450°F. Do not put the knobs under the broiler or near the heating elements in an oven since the surrounding area is hotter.Q: Is it safe to use the cookware if the enamel is worn?A: Yes.Q: Is the enamel harmful if ingested?A: No. It meets all FDA standards.Q: How is Le Creuset Enameled Cast-Iron manufactured?A: Cast-iron allows for low heat cooking and provides unsurpassed heat retention. By enameling the cast-iron, Le Creuset products do not require seasoning and will not react with foods (such as acidic tomato sauces).In total, fourteen pairs of hands touch each piece before it earns the Le Creuset name.Step 1: Raw materials are melted at over 2000°F in a large cauldron shaped vessel (called a "creuset" in French).Step 2: The molten iron is poured into a sand casting - this "mold" is destroyed after one useso that each piece has a unique "fingerprint". The piece is cooled and removed from the mold.Step 3: Each cast-iron pan is scrutinized for imperfections. Rough edges and burrs are removed in a hand process called "fettling." Then each piece is blasted by tiny metal pellets to prepare a uniform surface for enameling.Step 4: A "ground coat" of enamel is applied to the entire piece and fired in an oven at 1600°F. This grey color is what you see in the lip of the oven. No exposed iron is ever left on a piece of Le Creuset.Step 5: Each item is then sprayed with two different coats of enamel. First the internal color then the familiar bright colored enamel on the exterior. Both are fired at 1450°F. This high heat firing embodies the enamel into the cast-iron, making it almost completely resistant to damage during normal use.Step 6: Final inspection of product, then packaged.Individually created, coated, fired and inspected, each Le Creuset item is unique.
Stoneware fills a gap in the bakeware market and meets the high standards of today's gourmet baker. In coordinated colors, this stoneware is fired at 1950°F for a durable, non-porous enamel.Stoneware can go from the freezer or refrigerator straight to the oven and then to the table. Le Creuset Stoneware is not for use on the stovetop. Clean stoneware by hand or in the dishwasher. Le Creuset Stoneware is lead free.
The distinctive ribbed base of Le Creuset's grillpans allows the cook to enjoy the flavor of chargrilled meats, poultry, fish, and vegetables. After a light greasing with oil, no further fat or oil is added, so one can also enjoy the benefits of low-fat cooking. Any fat which escapes from the food is held between the ribs of the base.The deep-sided design prevents splattering onto the stovetop and the handy pouring lip directs cooking juices and excess fat away, if necessary. The pan can be "deglazed" after cooking with water, stock, or wine so the flavors and juices of cooking can be served au jus with the dish.· To check that the grill is hot, scatter a few drops of cold water over the surface. If they gently 'hiss,' the surface is not hot enough. If they 'spit' and evaporate almost immediately, the surface is hot enough.· The surface is hot enough when it produces the distinctive 'char' lines that add to the flavor and character of the food. Do not preheat on high, then lower the heat. Cast-iron is a very efficient material and retains heat well.· Brush the ribs lightly with oil. The surface should not be smoking before the food is added. If it is, remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly before proceeding.· All meats, poultry, fish and vegetables should be 'dry' before cooking begins, otherwise they may stick to the ribs. Pat dry on kitchen towels. Marinated foods should also have the excess moisture patted dry.· Once placed on the ribbed surface, foods should not be moved immediately, otherwise the distinctive 'char' lines will not be produced. Leave for 1-2 minutes to seal and sear the outside before turning over.· Metal handles on grills will get hot. Use a hot pad for lifting.
Q: How do you season the grills?A: Coat the new grill lightly with vegetable or olive oil using a pastry brush or paper towel. Don't use butter. Place the grill in the oven for 20 minutes at 225°F. Let the grill cool and store it. Repeat this procedure for the first 10-12 uses to build up a more "nonstick" finish.Q: What temperature should you cook on?A: Start on medium, which is the halfway point on the dial (5 out of 10) and decrease. Never cook above medium heat.To clean:· Cool all pans or grills for a few minutes before washing.· Then pour HOT tap water on the grill and let it boil out the residue of the prepared food. A wash brush is particularly good for cleaning between ribs on grills. Rinse and dry the pan thoroughly.
· Avoid leaving water in kettle or pot when not in use. A build-up of mineral deposits may occur and reduce efficiency.· Before first use, wash kettle or pot in hot water with a mild detergent. Rinse well and dry. If you have a kettle, lift handle up until it "locks" into position.· Always ensure base of kettle or pot is covered by water before heating.· For the kettle, do not overfill-maximum filling level should be approximately 3/4 full, just below spout hole inside kettle.· Avoid leaving water in kettle or pot when not in use.

PAWTUCKET — After losing five straight games, including a 10-2 trouncing Saturday night against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the Pawtucket Red Sox had fallen back to .500 and needed a victory badly.
They got one on Sunday, a 9-3 drubbing of the Yankees that put Pawtucket back over .500 and just 2½ games out of first place with their modest 19-18 record.
Veteran pitcher Matt Fox, a former first-round pick of the Minnesota Twins in 2004, beat Scranton for the second time in 10 days on Sunday, striking out seven in five innings while allowing all three runs.
Fox struck out the side in the first inning, then got himself out of big trouble in the third inning by fanning cleanup hitter Jorge Vazquez and No. 5 hitter Justin Maxwell, who lead the International League in homers with 14 and 13, respectively.
"He knows how to pitch," Scranton manager Dave Miley said of Fox, a 28-year-old righthander who pitched briefly for the Twins in 2010 before getting released. "He never gave in. That's twice he has pitched well against us and with our lineup, that's not an easy thing to do. In the third inning, we had the right guys up with the bases loaded and he got us out."
Fox only had two of his four pitches working against the Yankees.
"My curveball and changeup weren't too good," he said. "I threw mostly fastballs and cutters."
PawSox manager Arnie Beyeler had his own take on Fox's success.
"He did a nice job working out of jams," Beyeler said. "He used his cutter very effectively today. I thought he was aggressive. He got some swings and misses and foul balls with his cutter. He also got ahead in the count because they were fouling his cutter off."
Fox threw 90 pitches in five innings, necessitating an early removal with a 7-3 lead.
"I threw too many pitches," Fox admitted. "I should have been able to go deeper into the game."
It didn't matter as Pawtucket's bullpen threw four scoreless innings of relief, allowing just one baserunner while getting the final 12 outs. Jason Rice threw two hitless innings and then Scott Atchison and Michael Bowden finished up with one shutout inning apiece. Atchison allowed a single, the only Scranton baserunner against Pawtucket's bullpen on this dank afternoon that featured a 51-minute rain delay prior to the start of the game.
Pawtucket's offense, which batted .164 as a team during the five-game slide, collected 13 hits on Sunday, including eight in four innings along with seven runs off Scranton starter Andrew Brackman. The 6-foot-10 Brackman walked five batters while seeing his ERA balloon to 6.69.
Brackman allowed runs in every one of his four innings. Lars Anderson singled home a first-inning tally. In the second frame, Brackman botched a sacrifice bunt play to let in a run. Daniel Nava plated the second run of the inning with a groundout.
After Fox limited the damage in the top of the third, Pawtucket made it a 4-2 game in the bottom of the third on a RBI single by Luis Exposito.
The game literally got out of control for Brackman in the fourth when he walked Matt Sheely to open the inning. Nava then singled Sheely to third. Tony Thomas plated Sheely with a sacrifice fly. Brackman walked Josh Reddick before Drew Sutton, who went 3-for-4 with 4 RBI, brought home two runs with a double.
Sutton would also single home two more runs in the sixth to wrap up the scoring for the day.
Sutton, who hit a grand slam homer for the Cincinnati Reds during the 2010 major league season, raised his average to .301 with his big day at the plate. The 6-foot-3 Sutton sports a solid .880 OPS percentage this season.
Nava also enjoyed a good day swinging the bat. The switch-hitter went 2-for-4 and scored three runs. Nava is only hitting .195 this season. If he gets back to his normal .270 or so over the next couple of months, Pawtucket's offense will look a lot better than it has over the past week.
These two teams finish their four-game series tonight at 6:15 when Kyle Weiland (2-4, 4.11) faces Scranton's David Phelps (2-3, 3.19).

Ilocano archer wins 5 golds in Palarong Pambansa 2014-A A +A
Wednesday, May 7, 2014
STA. CRUZ, Laguna -- Mary Queen Ybañez, an archer of the Ilocos Region Athletic Association (IRAA), emerged as the first athlete with most gold medals won in the ongoing 2014 Palarong Pambansa.
The 16-year-old Ybañez bagged Wednesday three more gold medals, making it to five golds to her credit.
Ybañez now needs three more medals to sweep the secondary girls division of the archery competition at the Laguna Sports Complex archery and rifle range.
"Five down, three to go," Ybanez said in an interview after winning the 60-meter distance event with her 313 points.
Ybañez, a native of San Fernando, La Union, also dominated the 50-meter distance with 325 points.
Last Tuesday, Ybañez won her first two gold medals in the 30-meter with 342 points and 40-meter with 321 points.
After tallying the points she earned from the four events, Ybañez received with the highest score of 1,296 points to also win the single-fita event for her fifth gold medal.
Ybañez will compete in the individual Olympic round, team Olympic round, and team Olympic round mixed on Thursday.
Ybañez eclipsed the performance of Bryan Pacheco of Central Luzon who brought home two gold medals, both in record-breaking fashion, shot put and javelin, and one silver in discus throw events in athletics.
Former national archery coach Henry Manalang said Ybañez has the potential to equal if not exceed the performance of Olympians Jennifer Chan and Jasmin Figueroa.
"She has potential and confident on what she is doing and that's the good trait of athlete to be confident," Manalang said.
Manalang said Ybañez should keep on competing to sustain her talent and be another Chan or Figueroa in the future.
"She should be trained well. She is the future of the national team," Manalang said. (PNA)

Dear family and friends,
Once again, I am walking this year in support of UN Women's projects to end violence against women and girls. Please consider walking with me on March 31 or donating in support of the cause.
Violence against women and girls is a worldwide problem, cutting across all socio-economic, cultural, geographical, and age groups. It is one of the most prevalent violations of human rights and has far-ranging social and economic implications in all countries. UN Women's work addresses gender-based violence at all levels of society:
Grass-roots collaboration: UN Women works with and funds organizations on the ground to change social practices and attitudes that are harmful to women and girls. UN Women-backed efforts in Ecuador helped to reform the ancestral indigenous justice system in the Kichwa communities of the province of Imbabura to better respond to cases of violence against women.
National judicial and legislative reform: UN Women works with governments to draft national laws and budgets that address violence against women, its causes, and its effects. In Laos, a domestic violence bill was passed into law after the Trust Fund supported the Women's Union to compile compelling evidence of gender-based violence.
International: As the pre-eminent global body for gender equality, UN Women works with international organizations and UN agencies to protect women and girls. In Sudan, UN Women partnered with the UN Mission in Darfur, the local police, and tribal leaders in training women in refugee camps to protect themselves from sexual violence.
For more information on UN Women's leadership in ending violence against women, click here.
My efforts on March 31 will go beyond fundraising. Advocacy on behalf of women and girls is a vital part of our walks. This year we will again be asking participants to sign postcards to their elected officials voicing support for UN Women.
Thank you very much for your support! I will be thinking of you, your mothers, your wives, your sisters, and your daughters on March 31!
All the best,

ABINGDON, Va.— Andrew S. Rhinehart, MD, FACP, CDE, BC-ADM, CDTC, of the Johnston Memorial Hospital Diabetes Care Center, was recently awarded recognition by the prestigious National Committee for Quality Assurance Diabetes Recognition Program (NCQA), a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality.
"NCQA's Diabetes Recognition Program honors the vanguard, professionals using the best science to help patients cope with one of modern life's most pervasive illnesses," said NCQA President Margaret E. O'Kane. "I commend Johnston Memorial Hospital and Dr. Rhinehart for providing high quality care and for going the extra mile to help people with diabetes."
The Johnston Memorial Diabetes Education Center has assisted patients in diabetes care since 1999 and was recognized by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) in 2001. Dr. Andrew S. Rhinehart, medical director and diabetologist, joined the program in 2008 and introduced an innovative model of comprehensive diabetes care that includes medical management, diabetes self-management education and medical nutrition therapy. This team approach has demonstrated a significant reduction in hemoglobin A1C for patients in the program.
Rhinehart reveals his secret to success: "The team-based approach to care we provide at the Diabetes Care Center made achieving the NCQA recognition requirement much easier. The care of those with diabetes requires such an approach; one person cannot do it all. We believe that diabetes care is best done by a team of professionals with the patient as the captain."
Dr. Rhinehart is board-certified in Advanced Diabetes Management and was the first physician in the U.S. to gain these credentials. He recently became one of the first physicians to earn distinction as a Certified Diabetes Technology Clinician (CDTC), the highest professional credential that recognizes a physician as an expert in using technology to manage diabetes. He is assisted at the Diabetes Care Center by a staff of certified diabetes educators.
"It is possible to use technology to fine tune diabetes patient management in ways that were not available just a few years ago," said Rhinehart. "Including insulin pumps, continuous glucose monitors, smart phone applications, new blood glucose meters and telemedicine, the array of tools available to help people manage their diabetes is very exciting."
For more information about the Diabetes Care Center at JMH, call 276-258-3780.
