MAXWELL AIR FORCE BASE, Ala. -
-- One of the 12 United States Air Force core functions is building partnerships, which was celebrated Tuesday when Maxwell Air Force Base highlighted the importance of international partnerships during its 35th annual Alabama Goodwill Ambassador Appreciation Night, held at the Maxwell Club.
Hosted by Lt. Gen. David Fadok, Air University commander and president, the event recognized sponsors for their service to AGA by presenting plaques for the number of AU classes in which they have sponsored international officers.
This year's award presentation was unique, however, when a new award was presented during the ceremony.
During various meetings last year, Air Education and Training Command, along with the secretary of the Air Force international affairs leadership, decided it was vital to formally recognize those deserving individuals who selflessly give themselves to support the international training and education mission.
Debbie Gaddy, chair of the AGA Advisory Committee, was selected from more than 85,000 individuals across 12 AETC bases. Increasing the spectrum, award considerations were widened to include non-U.S. citizens for the inaugural AETC International Student Support Award.
Gaddy was the ambassador for two families in 2012, and has been an ambassador for more than 14 years, covering 25 Squadron Officer School, Air War College and Air Command and Staff College classes. She also volunteered with the international family orientation program and was an international dependent English course instructor.
Recently, she visited three international alumni abroad, including personally bringing football equipment to Sarajevo ensuring her former student's team could continue to play organized sports.
Winning the award was a surprise for Gaddy, as she was not told prior to the event that she would be the one receiving it.
"Words cannot express how I am feeling right now," she said. "I didn't even know I had a chance to win this prestigious award. I don't help out the students and dedicate my time to win awards. I do this because I love spending my time helping other people and doing what I can to make a difference."
The main purpose of the AGA program is to foster goodwill between the militaries of the United States and its allies. The program provides opportunities for ambassadors and international officers and their families to enjoy a rich sharing of cultures and enlightenment about each other's countries.
The program began in 1966 as a collaboration between the Air University and the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce. The AGA Appreciation Night is sponsored annually by the Air University and was first held in 1978.
More than 300 people, including approximately 45 AGA sponsors and more than 200 international officers from 80 countries, attended this year's event.
Clarence and Lelar Wilson, AGA sponsors since 1984 and recipients of a 50-class plaque, said hosting the students every year is always an eye-opening experience and allows them to learn about the culture of the international students.
"We enjoy hosting the foreign officers," said Lelar Wilson. "It is a two-way street, being a sponsor. This year we hosted students from Nigeria and Kenya and we learn from them almost more than they learn from us. We are just appreciative that we have the opportunity to teach and be ambassadors."
Of the 25 plaque recipients, three were recognized for hosting more than 50 classes. Fadok also recognized and thanked all ambassadors, including first-time ambassadors.

Spending cut threat to BSF projects
Proposed Building Schools for the Future (BSF) projects are under threat from possible spending cuts, after the announcement of a comprehensive review by the coalition government.
School building projects that have already entered the £55billionn BSF scheme are to be reprioritised as the new government looks to cut spending on the scheme.
The newly-formed Department for Education would not give any further details about the spending moratorium only to say: 'The Department has not yet made a decision on BSF funding or any other capital programmes.'
BSF schemes not at preferred bidder stage have now been frozen by the government as Chancellor George Osborne prepares a preliminary spending cuts programme this week ahead of his first budget on June 22.
This could leave up to 60 schemes worth an estimated £2billion in limbo.

In a recent letter the writer criticized a person who in their opinion thought that foreign-born residents should learn English to qualify for citizenship. He claims that attacking people who are not proficient in English is prejudiced. He also claims they are racists and bigots and that their policy is similar to the "Ku Klux Klan."
Unbelievable. Liberals have a policy of belittling the people who don't agree with their way of thinking and they sink to a level of "gutter talk." Well, the United States has an interest in legal residents learning English, but whenever I call a government office they always say press 1 for English and 2 for Spanish. When previous immigrants came here I never heard them say press 2 for Polish, German, Italian or any other country.
The writer has a problem with people who don't follow his line of thinking and I think he's the one that is prejudiced.

Refrigerated and hot prepared soups are becoming increasingly popular as retailers and manufacturers collaborate to build awareness.
There is an episode of Seinfeld that centers around a burning question—is soup a meal? If supermarket sales of fresh hearty soups, stews and chilis are any indication, the answer is a resounding yes.
Industry observers say consumers and retailers are embracing the value proposition of fresh soup offerings. They further suggest that the primary reasons for growth in this category is that fresh soup represents value for the money, while offering a convenient meal solution.
"The entire fresh refrigerated soup category—soups, stews and chilis—has experienced strong growth," says Mary Vaccaro, senior marketing manager for Medina, Ohio-based Sandridge Food Corp. "We have enjoyed double-digit growth in both the bulk and retail fresh soup arenas across the board."
Vaccaro notes that fresh soup is a popular choice for lunch, a snack and as a main dish for dinner. "Consumers recognize that soup represents a filling but low-calorie lunch and they have become increasingly aware of its function as a convenient and nutritious meal across many eating occasions," she says.
A growing segment within the category are hearty soups, add observers. "We are pleased with the market's performance so far this season," says Bob Sewall, executive vice president of sales and marketing for Fall River, Mass.-based Blount Fine Foods. "Fresh soups are performing very well, especially the core products—chowders, hearty soups and chilis. We are also seeing some of the newer healthy varieties really catch on, including Lemon Chicken Orzo and Quinoa Chili. We got off to a good start at the beginning of the season, and that trend is holding, especially with our more forward-thinking customers."
Blount Fine Foods' culinary team has also developed refrigerated soup with toppers, including loaded baked potato with cheese and bacon toppings, and low-fat chicken tortilla with tri-color tortilla strips and cheese. "We continue to offer our customers a wide range of premium food products to help retailers maximize sales and profits," says Sewall.
Fresh soups have been so successful; observers say they are now challenging their shelf-stable counterpart for consumer favor. "I genuinely believe that the category of refrigerated soup is poised for explosive growth," says Levon Kurkjian, vice president of marketing for Kettle Cuisine, the Chelsea, Mass.-based maker of refrigerated and frozen soups. "Shelf-stable soups, particularly cans, have been on the decline for many years because consumers are demanding better tasting products, cleaner ingredients and better nutrition—all of which refrigerated soups are able to deliver."
In addition to cleaner ingredients, consumers are looking for healthier options; that means cutting back on sodium. Sandridge Food Corp. is meeting that need with a line of reduced-sodium fresh and fully prepared soups. Vaccaro says that the development of these better-for-you soups supports U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines released in February 2011 that recommend sodium intake be reduced to 2,300 milligrams or less per day. Sandridge's reduced-sodium fresh soups all contain less than 750 mg of sodium per serving, and several have additional favorable attributes such as preservative- and gluten-free and high in fiber.
Less sodium does not mean less flavor, says Vaccaro. "We wanted to address not only the USDA guidelines on sodium reduction, but also consumers' concerns for robust flavors without all the salt. Our chefs matched some of our signature soup taste profiles and developed intense flavor systems that are not salt dependent."
As many consumers have begun taking management of their health into their own hands with a proactive diet, they are seeking well-balanced nutrition as well. "As such, it has become even more important for meals to not only minimize 'bad nutrition' like sodium and saturated fat but to also maximize 'good nutrition' like fiber, protein and vitamins and minerals," says Kettle Cuisine's Kurkjian.
Observers say consumers and retailers are also looking for soups that tap into flavor and cultural trends, in addition to appealing to their health concerns. Indian, North African and Caribbean cuisines are gaining in popularity.
"The trick here though is that the majority of consumers want 'Americanized' versions of these meals as opposed to the truly authentic recipes," Kurkjian says.
Hot and cold
Merchandising hot and refrigerated soups together will draw in customers, observers say. "Retailers should emphasize the fresh soups' key selling points of aroma, taste and freshness," Vaccaro says. "They can accomplish this by having stations that feature both hot soups and refrigerated grab-and-go selections. Aroma and taste are key components to the theatre of food and retailers need to play on this."
Hot soup displays, in which selections are rotated daily and schedules are posted in advance, can make for strong shopper destinations. "Shoppers might make a point to stop by on a certain day if they know in advance that their favorite flavor will be available," she adds.
Refrigerated soups should be merchandised as close to the hot soup offerings as possible to demonstrate category focus and expertise, Kurkjian adds. "This allows retailers to gain shopper trial with hot soups and loyalty with the chilled soups."
Sampling is also an important tactic in this space as shoppers that are able to experience the quality difference are much more likely to participate in the category, say observers. It is also important that employees know a little about the flavor profile of the soups, "so that they can easily point out their attributes," Blount Foods' Sewall says. "The ideal explanation [to a consumer] is that a well-made fresh/refrigerated soup allows for a restaurant-quality experience at home. This is especially true with the Panera and Legal Sea Foods brands."
However retailers should not focus on just one promotion strategy, say observers. They can include fresh soups in their 'meal ideas' materials, which can be online, in circulars, and in-store. Hot-to-go soups complement the refrigerated soups choices while cross promoting soups with sandwiches or salads offer the consumer a meal solution.
"Our best retailers promote the category in multiple ways," says Sewall.

1Jacob, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, To the twelve tribes in the Diaspora: Shalom!
Rejoice in Trials
2Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,
3knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
4And let endurance have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all without hesitation and without reproach; and it will be given to him.
6But let him ask in faith, without any doubtingfor the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord
8he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
9But let the brother in humble circumstances boast in his high position
10and the rich person in his humble position, because like the flower of the grass he will pass away.
11For the sun arises with a scorching heat and withers the grass, and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed. So also the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will wither away.
12Happy is the one who endures testing, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love Him.
13Let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by Godfor God cannot be tempted by evil, and He himself tempts no one.
14But each one is tempted when he is dragged away and enticed by his own desire.
15Then when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is full grown, it brings forth death.
16Do not be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters.
17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
18By His will, He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all He created.
Quick to Listen, Slow to Anger
19Know this, my dear brothers and sisters: let every person be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger
20for human anger doesnt produce the righteousness of God.
21So put away all moral filth and excess of evil and receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.
23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror
24for once he looks at himself and goes away, he immediately forgets what sort of person he was.
25But the one who looks intently into the perfect Torah, the Torah that gives freedom, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer who forgets but a doer who actshe shall be blessed in what he does.
26If anyone thinks he is religious and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this persons religion is futile.
27Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

Accelerating Video Game Development on Intel® Xeon® Processors
Independent video game developer Hidden Path Entertainment has produced a range of captivating original titles, such as the Defense Grid* franchise, and collaborated with Valve on the immensely popular Counter-Strike* online action game. To help produce Counter-Strike: Global Offensive*, Hidden Path needed a new infrastructure that could rapidly compile code for multiple platforms so the developers could implement new features and optimize game performance while adhering to a tight development schedule. Hidden Path deployed systems based on the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2670, which helped accelerate development while conserving data center space.

Monthly check-up: A round-up of news in the medical industry

Cardiac rehab may help stroke victims, too.
A new study published in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association, found that cardiac rehabilitation, traditionally used after heart attacks to prevent future heart problems, may also be effective for helping mild stroke victims reduce their risk of a future stroke. Cardiac rehabilitation is a lifestyle management program that includes exercise, nutrition counseling, stress management, smoking cessation and preventive prescription medication. Never had a stroke? You can still lower your risk by following a similar, balanced lifestyle.
Skip the saw palmetto.
Sorry men, but a new study found that saw palmetto supplements do not relieve urinary problems associated with an enlarged prostate. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, tracked 369 men aged 45 and older. Even tripling the standard dose of daily saw palmetto supplements (from 320mg to 960mg) made no difference when it came to relieving urinary tract symptoms over the placebo group.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
A Dutch study of 20,000 adults found that eating white-fleshed fruit daily, such as an apple or pear, is associated with a lower risk of stroke. Previous studies had confirmed the link between a lower stroke risk and eating dark fruits and vegetables (like spinach, mangos, carrots and berries). The Netherlands study followed 20,000 adults between the ages of 20 and 65 for ten years. Participants who ate one medium apple each day (171 grams of white produce) had a 52% lower risk for stroke than those who consumed less than 78 grams of white fruit.
Exercise may protect against Alzheimer's.
A new study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that regular exercise not only enhances the growth of new brain cells, but it also boosts the functioning of existing cells. Just as exercise tones and strengthens muscles, so too does exercise strengthen the mitochondria, the "powerhouse" of each brain cell. Existing research suggest that mitochondria deficits may be responsible for the development of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Just one more reason to get active each day!

A pilot and passenger escaped with minor injuries when their seaplane with its pontoon landing wheels in the down position crashed into the St. Johns River near in north Florida.
The Florida Highway Patrol says the plane hit the water at 5:10 p.m
Troopers say the pontoon seaplane, flown by 60-year-old Lindsay "Butch" Weaver Jr. of Boulder, Colo., flipped after attempting to make a routine landing on the river.
Witnesses called 911 before taking a boat out to the crash site. Kelly Redford says Weaver and passenger Joscelyn Blumenthal, 43, were out of the plane. They were loaded into the boat and taken to shore, where they were hospitalized for minor injuries.
The Florida Highway Patrol, Putnam County Sheriff's Office and Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission were all investigating the incident. They say the 1977 Cessna took off from Palatka Municipal Airport for a short flight to the river.
The initial findings are that the plane's landing gear under the floats had been left down resulting in the plane flipping as it landed in the water. Investigators believe, the plane came to rest afloat in an inverted position with the passenger compartment and fuselage under water.

Unfortunately he only measured out at 6-6 ½ without shoes with a 6-8 wingspan, though. While thats obviously not going to kill his draft stock, its not going to help it either. [Read Full Article] Portsmouth Invitational Tournament Recap, All-First TeamApril 13, 2010Jonathan Givony Coming into this camp with little to no buzz after a solid yet not overwhelmingly impressive season on a bad team in the Sun Belt conference, few prospects helped themselves as much this week as Louisiana Lafayettes Tyren Johnson. A combo forward with nice physical attributes, including decent size (around 6-8), a nice frame, long arms and good athleticism, Johnson is a versatile player who does a little bit of everything. Offensively, he likes to face the basket, where he shows the ability to make shots with range out to the 3-point line, albeit inconsistently. He has the ability to shoot off the dribble as well, but is streaky here as well, not always really knowing his limitations at this point. Just an average ball-handler, Johnson does a good job operating in transition, but is not particularly effective in the half-court, at times showing poor shot-selection and overall decision making, and in turn being extremely turnover prone. Hes not a particularly experienced player, despite his senior status, being somewhat of a late bloomer who only really started producing consistently at the collegiate level in his final season. Perhaps the place where he impresses the most is with his passing ability, as he not only averaged a very good number of assists this season, but also showed excellent court vision throughout this camp, whipping some very creative passes to teammates diving to the rim. While he might be a raw player, this part of his game hints at some intriguing potential that could very well still be in store for him down the road. Defensively, Johnson is interesting, as he showed the ability to guard either forward position at this camp, and contributes to his team by coming up with extra possessions in the form of blocks, steals and rebounds. His awareness isnt always great and he seems to lose his focus from time to time, but there is plenty of potential to work with here thanks to his hustle and excellent physical tools, and his ability to defend multiple positions (especially against the pick and roll) makes him fairly intriguing. Players like Johnson are very much en vogue these days, as hes essentially the prototype for what teams look for in a Josh Smith style face the basket power forward. Still raw around the edges and clearly not a finished product, Johnson will probably get some looks from teams in private workouts and will be someone to keep tabs on in Europe or the D-League over the next few years to see how he progresses. [Read Full Article] Portsmouth Invitational Tournament, Day TwoApril 9, 2010 The Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year, Tyren Johnson averaged 17.9 points (50% FG and 36.1% 3FG) 7.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists,1.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks per game for 13-17 Louisiana-Lafayette. He is a reputed gym rat and improved considerably between his junior and senior seasons, while showing greater scoring efficiency. Still, his performance at Portsmouth came as a surprise. Tyren Johnson is a player wed like to take a closer look at over the next two games after his extremely impressive debut. The 6-8 combo forward has outstanding physical tools (size, length, athleticism and a great frame) to go along with an intriguing skill-set for his position. He knocked down three 3-pointers, hit an off the dribble jumper, made some outstanding passes, came up with a number of blocks and steals, crashed the glass hard and just showed a lot of toughness and versatility. Players in his mold are very much en vogue in todays basketball (both in the NBA and Europe) so it will be interesting to see how he follows up this performance.

I made this bread the first time, my family loves it so much. Thanks a lot!
I've been making this recipe for several months now and I really like it. However, I can't understand why the yeast proofs for a full 45 minutes. Why is this necessary? Does it affect the final product?Thanks.
This came out great! My 8 year-old son and I made this together. I'm so glad our first bread attempt as a team was such a success! We plan to make this very often.
Just after the first try. Breads are well done. We love these breads as they are just as light as the breads we used to eat.This is the formula that has the largest proportion of water thus it is the lightest French bread. It true that it is difficult to prepare the dough by hand. I use bread machine to prepare the dough and distribute it to the moulds right after take it out from the bread machine then let it raises in the mould to about 3 times it original size. Place these moulds to the oven when the oven is still cold and start the oven for 400 oF for 30 minutes ( including oven heat up time).Mallory, thank you so much.
I followed the recipe exactly and it just didn't work out for me. My usual recipe calls for 1 cup of water for the same amount of yeast and flour so I felt 2+ was too much, but I did it anyway. I don't know what went wrong. It had to be my last packet of yeast too, that really sucked. I'll be going back to my usual recipe.
This was a wonderful, easy recipe. I made the garlic herb variation and could not be more pleased. It had a nice crunchy crust and soft and delicious inside. We couldn't stop eating it. It is such fun to make bread and SO much easier than we have been led to believe. Well worth the time.
My new go-to bread recipe. The instructions were clear and well-written--thank you! Excellent bread with golden brown crusty crust. I add chia seeds, flax seeds, and sesame seeds for extra texture and nutritional benefit :)
Hello..greetings... I am a learner,and really like to learn how to make bread especially french bread...because I just love the simple taste... yet it is yummy...I have made your recipe and keep coming back to make it..but somehow the funny thing is that it does not rise upward it always go side ward..I followed every steps and the measurement of the ingredients...how come i cannot let it rise upward...what was wrong...Maybe i missed out something or lack of kneading? Thank you..recipe taste good...
I love this simple recipe and wonderful bread but can I make it without so much salt?
Made this recipe for casual company spaghetti supper. I made 2 large loaves and braided one of them. We are lucky there was any left for the meal as we descended like locusts on the hot fragrant bread as it came out of the oven. Soooooo good. Very easy to make just exactly as printed. Thank you for a new favorite bread recipe.
After reading the reviews on this recipe I ran up to the store to get the ingredients. The bread came out awesome. Believe me because every time I try to make bread it comes out like a rock. I made two loafs instead of three so they would be larger and I put a small pot with water on the lower rack of the oven while the loafs were baking. Everyone loved the bread including myself. I ate a half loaf while it was still warm. Thank you for making me look like I know what I'm doing. I highly recommend this recipe.
I have made this bread a couple times. My family loves it! Bread has a crackly crust and a nice airy crumb. This was a home run recipe! My bread finally came together as super light inside with a great crust. So excited - I want everyone to know it! I also make this by pre- mixing 1 cup water , 1 cup flour and a pinch yeast to make a starter. Let it sit multiple hours covered, then mix remaining ingredients in and follow recipe.
I made this yesterday and it was awesome! I also used a steam method with a pan of water and I occasionally opened the oven door and misted it with a water bottle. The crust was perfectly crunchy and the inside was perfect…not too dense and not too fluffy. I finally bought a Kitchen Aid stand stand mixer this year and have tried dozens of bread recipes with it as well as with a bread machine and this has the best overall texture of all of the recipes I have tried so far. I did add in some rosemary, but kept everything else the same. This recipe is now my go to recipe for bread! Thank you for sharing!
Made this "by the book," except my yeast proofed longer than I planned--I set it up and went grocery shopping the day before Easter--silly me, thinking I'd be back before 45 minutes was up, but regardless I'm very pleased with the result. There was no water bath as I do with cheesecakes, which others have referred to as the "steam method." Final comments? I think I could have made 4-5 shorter demi-baguettes instead of 3 long fat ones. I enjoyed the heel of a loaf with some soft butter after they cooled for about 20 minutes. Crunchy, tasty crust, and soft yet lofty insides. Nice Bread!
I have made the bread 2 times and while it is good, I find that on the 2nd rise the dough spreads out and the bread is almost flat. what can I do to make the dough stay like a baguette? I don't want to put it in bread pan to keep the dough rising upward.
I"m an intermediate cook/baker but this is by far the best bread recipe I have found. I use the steam method with a heated pan in the oven. I can't keep my family away from this. Have to make a double batch and quick get some into the freezer before they eat it all. Nice hard crust and soft inside and great taste. During the winter I have my husband make a fire to help with the rise. Have not made it when he's not home--when I would resort to rising on top of a running dryer.
I would say I'm an intermediate bread baker and I've made my fair share of various breads - french, sandwich, whole wheat, challah - and I have to say that this is one of the best recipes I've used. I've done it a couple of times now...it's straight-forward, quick, easy and absolutely deeee-licious - great flavor and great texture and freezes and reheats like a champ - crusty and smooth just like it's meant to be. Throw a bit of corn meal on the baking sheet like the previous poster mentioned also adds a nice touch. Throw on a pat of good butter and a bit nice jam, brew yourself a bowl of cappuccino and you'll think you're in a Parisian cafe.
Why do the yeast, water, and sugar need to sit for 45 minutes?Thank you
This is a great recipe. For those complaining about the wetness, that's how French bread dough is. If the dough isn't wet, it won't be as airy and delicious. That's what makes French bread unique. It's messy without a stand mixer, but well worth it. I omitted the egg and milk mixture on top, because that want necessary, and used the pan steam method. Turned out perfect.
Awesome bread flavor!! Moist and soft inside. Crusty outside. I also added sprinkles of cornmeal to baking sheets and on top of loaves as they went into the oven. A tip I have is to put your egg and tablespoon of milk out on the counter as you assemble your ingredients. Then, the egg wash will reach room temp. and won't be cold and cause your loaves to deflate.
i use honey instead of sugar and eliminate a little fluid. Even adding 6 cups of flour it was still pretty wet (and messy). i separated the dough into 3 round loaves on baking sheets and bc the dough was wet, the 2d rise was more of a spread. the bread tasted good and cooked in the given time, but was a bit dense.
This is by far the best recipe I have tried. Just the perfect balance between fluffy and chewy. Sprinkled some sea salt, sesame seeds and poppy seeds on top. Biggest hit at the dinner party!
I was super stoked to try this recipe I used (for th very first time) Ivory Wheat Bread followed all thr steps and when I took it out of the oven it looked great but when I cut into it 5 mins later it was not cooked on the inside. Super bummed but gonna get the white flour and try again
I made this bread and it was the first bread recipe I've tried that was edible and perfect at the end! Lol. The texture on this bread was wonderful and I also used the steam method. ??
I chose this recipe because of the consistently high ratings. We made this french bread as part of a french themed stay-at-home date with my wife. It was so good, my wife and I ate an entire loaf that night. The date was a great success. Our kids knew we were making bread after they went to bed. They tried it in the morning, and I quote them, "this is the best bread ever", and "we should make this every day." I highly recommend this recipe. Note: I used the steam method recommended by others. I put an all metal pan at the bottom of the stove to heat up while preheating, and added ~1 C of hot water when I put the loaves in the oven.
So simple ....As advertised ... Delicious crust, tender inside .... makes a lot for as little flour as it too. I'm thinking i used closer to just 4 cups than the 5-5-1/2 cups, but didn't really measure the add-in bit. This is a keeper!
Hello everyone WHO already made this Bread b4. I have a question , can I make the dough at night & leave to proof in the fridge overnight ?
this turned out perfect! Not dry at all. Every other French loaf recipe I have tried failed. Not this one. I wouldn't change a thing about it! I am trying the variation right now, with the oregano basil and garlic. can hardly wait for it to rise.
Hi I'm just printing this now and plan a couple of changes! 1) two eggs and four tablespoons or 1/4 c milk mix well and split! 2) put the first half in the activated yeast prior to adding the flour and salt mixture! ...This will give the bread loaf a good chance of seeing the second day and still be a "simple pleasure"! 3) when the oven is preheated (if you like the crusty in French Bread) take a 1/4 c warm tap water no more... throw it at your oven walls and hurry place bread in center shelf close the door! Steam is key! French bread ovens have steam injectors which do this so nice. a small metal bowl with a cup of water can also be inserted prior preheating . try and see! Enjoy drl
The texture was moist on inside and crunchy outside. - it was excellent. Recipe was easy but time consuming because of waiting for dough to rise. I used bread flour instead of all purpose. I'd recommend when you get to the 5th cup of flower, add it a little at a time just dough can be handled, otherwise the bread will come out too dry. I ended using about 4 3/4 cups of flower total. I'd also recommend cooking at the minimum time - you can always add more time if need be since all ovens vary. Mine took about 26 minutes.
Excellent. i followed the recipe and it came out great. This was the first time I made french bread and it came out great. My finicky 16 year old said it was awesome and I only get "awesome" ratings if they're "for real".
This bread recipe is great. The only thing I changed is that I used 2 tsp instant yeast instead of the packaged yeast.
This recipe is certainly worth trying. I was very impressed at the light, fluffy texture of the bread with the chewy, buttery crust. This recipe I have used to make my cinnamon raisin bread, just by adding the extra ingredients. Everyone loves it!

One of my favorite parts of the Thanksgiving meal is my husband's homemade cranberry sauce. It's a tart and sweet sauce, with hints of orange zest and brown sugar. I always have him make twice the amount needed because I love having leftovers. This year, I decided that rather than serving it alongside leftover turkey and mashed potatoes, I was going to try something new. We still have guests lingering the day after Thanksgiving, so what better way to ease the turkey "hangover" than with homemade sweet rolls for breakfast?

The St. Mary's Rattlers come in as the Texas team with the most history in the tournament. According to Coach Hanks he believes they're arguable a number one type of seed, but due to a few losses toward the end of the season, St. Mary's fell back.
Now the Mavericks have to go in with their heads high and their confidence even higher in order to avoid a fourth straight season-finish at regionals, and they know what they need to do.

The Rev. Ed Malesic was getting ready to say his morning prayers Monday. Then he glimpsed a notice on his iPad.
"I was shocked," said Malesic, pastor of Holy Infant Parish in York Haven. "I had to double check what I saw."
Moments later, Malesic accepted that Pope Benedict XVI had indeed announced plans to resign on Thursday, Feb. 28.
The 85-year-old pope said that he lacks the strength to fulfill his duties. He will become the first pontiff in 600 years to resign.
His announcement sets the stage for a conclave in March to elect a new leader for the world's 1 billion Catholics.
When (Benedict) first became pope, people thought he was going to be very strict and stern because that was his reputation," Malesic said. "But what came from him was a very humble, almost reserved but very kind and gentle person, very thoughtful."
Benedict's resignation is an act of humility, said the Rev. Jonathan Sawicki, pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church in York City.
"A humble person knows when they should not do things anymore," Sawicki said. "He had gotten tired, gotten frailer. He chose to go out smoothly to prepare for a faster way for a new pope, no drama or speculation that gets people in an uproar."
In making the retirement decision, Benedict put the Catholic Church before himself, said Deacon Tom Aumen of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Hanover.
"I think it's a courageous decision he's making," Aumen said. "He could hang on and hang on just to be pope. He considered the importance of the universal Catholic Church more than his own continual legacy."
While Benedict's resignation comes as a surprise, the pope did say in 2010 that if a pontiff was too ill or weak to carry on a demanding ministry, he should resign, said the Rev. Sylvan Capitani, pastor of St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in New Freedom.
"We're losing a pope who was probably one of the best theological people in modern time," Capitani said. "He's a brilliant theologian, and his books are increasingly precise and clear. He has a brilliant mind."
Benedict is a strong pope despite his physical frailties, Malesic said.
"His strength was in what he would say, not how he said it," Malesic said. "He wasn't a very dramatic type of pope. He's very thoughtful, remained an academic, continued to publish books, continued to discuss the meaning of Jesus for the world."
Scott Kurtzman, a member of St. Rose of Lima in York City, said he attended a Mass done by Benedict at Nationals Park stadium in Washington, D.C. in 2008. Capitani and Aumen said they also attended the event.
Kurtzman said he remains impressed by Benedict's work and teachings.
"He emphasized that the basic values of the Catholic faith can't change with the whims of society," Kurtzman said. "What's right is right and what's wrong is wrong."
Aumen and Kurtzman said they don't think this will be the last time the world will see a pope resign for age or health-related reasons, now that Benedict has done so in modern times.
However, Aumen said he hopes resignations don't become a practice used by popes who decide not to face difficult issues facing the Catholic Church. Nor does he want people to start demanding pontiff resignations because they feel they're dissatisfied with a pope's performance, Aumen added.
Sawicki said he doesn't think Benedict's decision will set a resignation trend among popes, though there could be a possibility for a pontiff resignation in the future. On the other hand, Sawicki said he believes the Catholic Church would still have popes who serve until their deaths.
Though Benedict is resigning, he is leaving a legacy that demonstrated his willingness to think "outside the box" in responding to people's spiritual concerns, Sawicki said.
"It's tremendous, the spirit, the force, the strength that (Benedict) had in order to do what he has done the last eight years," he said. "And he's done that beautifully."

Newcastle family wins Hallmark Halloween card competition
October 26, 2010
By Tim Pfarr
Being a parent can be hard, as any mother or father will tell you. Newcastle resident Tina Palmer got a reminder of that Oct. 31, 2008, when she had her then-3-year-old son Jack and 1-year-old daughter Kate put on their costumes and sit next to each other on the front porch for a photo.
It didn't go so well, and Kate began to yell. As she screamed, Jack covered his ears.
"I was like, 'Come on, guys. Can't you just sit normal for a second?'" Palmer said.
She captured a photo mid-scream, and entered the photo with a caption to Hallmark's Scare Up Some Fun competition this year, which invited customers to create their own Halloween cards with an offer to print the best entries.
Hallmark chose Palmer's card to be one of 23 customer-created cards sold online and 16 sold in stores across the country.
Palmer first posted the photo on Facebook and her friends, including Spokane resident Darby Van Gordon, loved it.
"It was a laugh-out-loud moment," Van Gordon said. "I normally don't have that kind of reaction to photos, but it was hysterical."
In October 2009, she submitted the photo to "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" when it called for funny Halloween photos. Not long after, Palmer received a call from a friend on the East Coast exclaiming that the photo of Jack and Kate was just on the show, albeit for a matter of seconds.
In March, Van Gordon received a notice from Hallmark about the upcoming Scare Up Some Fun competition, and she e-mailed it to Palmer, as she said it instantly made her think of Palmer's priceless photo.
Palmer submitted the photo as well as text to appear on the front and inside of the card. For the front, she wrote, "I wanted to be the pirate this year!" For the inside, she wrote, "Hope your Halloween is a 'roaring' good time." Hallmark handled the design.
"I thought it was a total long shot," Palmer said. "I didn't think there was an inkling of a chance for me to win."
However, in May, she received a call from Hallmark notifying her that her card was to be sold online and that she would receive a $250 check, although no royalties.
"I was ecstatic," she said. "I was shocked, but I was so happy."
In July, she got an e-mail notifying her that her card was to be sold in stores. With the grand prize, she received an additional $250 and an 11-by-14-inch print of the final design signed by the contest's judges.
Jack and Kate are now 5 and 3, respectively, and Jack began kindergarten at Newcastle Elementary School, which is in the Issaquah School District, in September. She said both children have seen the card, but neither yet understands the significance of being featured on a Hallmark card sold nationwide.
Palmer said it was the sometimes-adversarial brother-and-sister relationship that fueled the reaction she captured in the photo.
"They just weren't happy," she said. "They're friends, but they really don't like to sit next to each other."

Rugby union: Longton on front foot after signing Denstone starlet
Posted: January 31, 2013|
LONGTON have bolstered their front row with the signing of former Midlands under-20s prop Joe Newton-Taylor.
The highly-rated 21-year-old, from Denstone, signed for the National Three Midlands side this week ready to make his debut against Syston on Saturday.
Longton's director of rugby, Tony Wheat, is expecting the powerful youngster to make an immediate impact after receiving a glowing report from player-coach Craig Wilson.
Wheat said: "Craig coached Joe at Staffordshire and Midlands under-20s and says he's dynamic, strong and will add to our options in the front row.
"He's also at a great age, and should fit straight in."
Newton-Taylor came through the youth teams at Leek and made his senior breakthrough in Midlands Two in 2010.
He trained with Championship side Moseley and Premiership pretenders Worcester Warriors before signing for Birmingham and Solihull in National Two this season.
Worcester have been monitoring his progress, but a knee injury meant his game time has been restricted.
Wheat said: "He started a few matches, but missed a bit when he was injured and has been frustrated to be on the replacements bench over the last few weeks.
"He rang Craig up to see if there were any opportunities for more time and came up to sign for us on Tuesday evening after Solihull agreed to release him."
Syston could leapfrog Longton if they win at Trentham Fields this weekend, and Wheat is expecting them to arrive in the Potteries with all guns blazing.
For Longton, it will be a first taste of action for three weeks and a chance to blow off some cobwebs.
Wheat said: "It's been slightly frustrating not to play, but it's given us a chance to freshen up a little bit and ready to meet the next few weeks with the sort of intensity we'll need. We had a week off with the schedule and a week off with the weather so everyone is raring to go now."
Captain Luke Fowles is hoping to be fit after the enforced break gave him three weeks to rest a strained hamstring.
It means the treatment room is almost empty, apart from long-term lay-off Chris Buck (shoulder).
Syston won the reverse fixture 27-25 during Longton's battle with a sizeable injury list.
Wheat is also hoping to gain revenge for a 17-16 defeat on their own turf last season.
He said: "We had a narrow defeat down there and they beat us up here last year, so we owe them a bit.
"We were poor when we last met, but still should have won. It's a result I look back on thinking it should have been different.
"They seem to go through blocks of results. They lost six or seven on the bounce after beating us and fell from a comfortable position down the table.
"But they've just won two on the bounce, albeit against Mansfield and Derby, and they will have a lot of motivation to make it three against us.
"A win for them will take them above us, a loss and they're looking at a dog fight, so they will be well up for it."

For College Hunks Hauling Junk, appearing on national television has become something of a marketing competency. The $12 million franchisor of moving and junk-removal services--recently named to its fourth Inc. 5000 list -- has appeared on various networks and programs, including ABC's Shark Tank, AMC's The Pitch, Bravo's The Millionaire Matchmaker, and TLC's Hoarding.
Glitzy, glamorous TV appearances have seduced many an executive into thinking that all publicity is good publicity, especially when it exposes your brand to a national audience. But Nick Friedman, cofounder and president of College Hunks Hauling Junk, begs to differ. He tells Build that companies should carefully consider a media broadcast's viewing audience and its editorial motives before agreeing to participate on any level.
Assess whether the audience's reach and demographics suit your marketing needs.
College Hunks Hauling Junk has two target audiences: potential customers and potential franchisees, Friedman explains. "We probably had the biggest impact from Shark Tank (August 2009) and The Millionaire Matchmaker (January 2010). The viewership of Shark Tank was very much business-minded, so the franchise opportunity spoke to the audience, and it was on a major network."
Matchmaker, he says, has a large following. Better still, CEO and cofounder Omar Soliman picked up his date in a company truck, and the episode aired in reruns for three years. "The date went badly, but it was great exposure for the brand," Friedman says.
All told, the company's haul from these two appearances--which cost an estimated $3,500--was five additional franchisees, including its most lucrative one, which earns $3 million annually, Friedman says.
But not every TV appearance yields a fruitful outcome. College Hunks Hauling Junk's appearance on The Pitch in August has cost the company $2,500 in travel and lost productivity, yet it's produced no palpable payoff, Friedman notes. "Viewership was very low, down 30 percent from last season," he says. "It aired at 11 p.m., and it wasn't heavily promoted. Even though we were the featured brand, we didn't see a big response. And most people watching that show were in some form of advertising. It didn't fit our target customer."
Know how your brand will be positioned.
"First and foremost, you want your logo or brand to be visible, and you want your company mentioned by name," Friedman says.
He's precise about these things, because they didn't happen enough in August, when College Hunks Hauling Junk appeared on the Bravo program Below Deck. An entrepreneurial group had circulated an e-mail asking whether anyone wanted to appear on a new show filmed on a yacht. Friedman applied, hoping to reap branding and marketing benefits from the company's annual forum treat for franchisees--this year on board the yacht with television cameras standing by to capture the company's vibrant ideas and personalities.
But it didn't quite work out as Friedman had planned. "This show was much ado about nothing. There was no brand involvement aside from our logo shirts," he says, adding that the company spent $3,000 in travel and tips to yacht staff. Although the shirt logos technically counted as visual exposure, it wasn't enough; there was no connection to the services College Hunks Hauling Junk provides. "We probably would've been just as well off if we hadn't done it, especially since it also painted us in a bit of a negative light by making it seem like we were light tippers."
In order for a TV appearance to pay off, Friedman says brand visibility must connect to the company's product or service. "On Matchmaker, we could've been saying 'College Hunks Hauling Junk' all day, but until Omar drove up in the truck with the logo on the side, people really didn't connect what we did with who we were," Friedman says.
Ideally, he believes, a brand should get both audio and visual exposure, which means the company's name needs to be mentioned in the show's dialog and appear on camera. College Hunks Hauling Junk's appearances on Hoarding, for example, haven't generated the desired payoff because even though its logo can be seen every time staff cleans out a house, "people don't mention the company by name." Yet the cost to the company, so far, has been $15,000, for labor, time, and disposal fees, Friedman says.
The takeaway: National brand exposure, in and of itself, is not always a worthwhile investment.
Nonetheless, Friedman would still recommend television as a marketing vehicle. Why? "The impact we've had when it is positive has been so overwhelmingly positive compared [with] other types of marketing or brand positioning or PR," he says.

Sadly, I was bringing up the rear on this one. Oh well, it only serves as motivation for the next time around.
I jumped out to a nice lead in pull-ups but my woeful deficiency in upper body pushing prowess reared its ugly head. The push-ups and push presses did me in.
For purposes of documenting my effort, I used 30-lb dumbbells for the push presses.
My final time: 35:30
Okay, this one looks nasty and was nasty. It didn't really hit hard in the beginning but really sneaked up on you. At the end, I was doing the push-presses in sets of 10 and 15 – ouch.
Time 26:15 with 30lb dumbbells for the presses.

Thanks, guys…
Too bad I didn't catch it with a camera handy, but I managed to tear two calasses, one on each hand while doing the pull-ups. Sad, really, when you consider how much I struggled on them (I'm blaming Tabata Something Else, damnit).

Handlers are interceptors that can be easily plugged into the Java API for XML-Based Web Services (JAX-WS) 2.0 runtime environment to do additional processing of inbound and outbound messages.
JAX-WS defines two types of handlers:
In this step, you will write a SOAP protocol handler and a logical handler for the use with JAX-WS services. You will describe the handlers in a custom bindings file using the JAX-WS Bindings Editor .
You will perform following tasks in this step:
MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY from
SOAPMessageContext. The value of the
MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY indicates the message direction. A value of
true means that the message is outbound. A value of
false indicates an inbound message. Based on the property value,
shall print either "Outbound message" or "Inbound message." Also, retrieve the
SOAPMessage and print it as shown below.
private void logToSystemOut(SOAPMessageContext context) {
if (outboundProperty.booleanValue()) {
SOAPMessage message = context.getMessage();
In this step, you will implement a ProductLogicalHandler, which handles inbound messages and modifies the message payload; i.e. convert the value of the product name node to uppercase.
MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY from
LogicalMessageContext. The value of
MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY indicates the message direction. A value of
true means that the message is outbound. A value of
false indicates an inbound message. Ignore further processing, if the message is outbound.
Boolean outboundProperty = (Boolean) context.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY);
// ignore OUTBOUND requests
Source payload = lm.getPayload();
if (payload instanceof DOMSource) {
Node rootNode = source.getNode();
XPath xpath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
NodeList nodes;
In this step, you will describe the handlers in custom bindings file using the JAX-WS Bindings Editor .
Since, you have modified the proudctBindings.xml file with additional JAX-WS handlers, you are required to re-generate the Web Service client artifacts.

The treatment of syphilis of the central nervous system has always been unsatisfactory. The cerebrospinal system is a closed one, and the diffusion of drugs from the circulating blood into the cerebrospinal fluid is slow and incomplete. For this reason organisms which have invaded the nervous tissue or meninges remain more or less protected from the drugs which may be present in the vascular system. For a number of years the desirability of the direct application of antisyphilitic drugs has been recognized.

Wade Phillips flew home on Jerry Jones' plane
Wade Phillips flew home on Jerry Jones' private plane following Sunday's 45-7 loss to Green Bay, not the team's American Airlines charter, and you can only imagine what the conversation was like.
Oftentimes during Phillips' three-plus season tenure as the Cowboys coach he has returned to Dallas with the Joneses, so it was not necessarily the come-to-Jesus meeting everybody might assume. And it has happened after losses before.
As we sit at the Milwaukee airport at 8:15 a.m., there is no word on Phillips' status., The Cowboys were home by about 2:15 a.m. after the flight from Green Bay. Media access for the players isn't until 2:15 p.m. and Phillips' press conference is scheduled for 4.
Jones would not answer specific questions about Phillips' job status after the game. Nor would he talk about his role as general manager, but he said it would be wrong to imply it could change.
Here are Jones' options going forward:
** Keep Phillips and the coaching staff intact for the rest of the season.
** Fire Phillips and promote from within with Jason Garrett, Joe DeCamillis and Paul Pasqualoni as the top candidates. (I'm resisting saying Jones could name himself coach.)
** Fire Phillips and make an outside hire to give a coach eight weeks to get accustomed to the personnel and see which players he would want to keep in 2011.
