Yes, this tofu is crispy. And yes it is golden. But, it is also pretty darn tasty. The mustard and the hot sauce combined with the spices makes it rather delightful on its own, or topped with a sauce of your choice. It is important to press the tofu well so there is not too much water trying escape during cooking that will sog your breading. The panko is also essential. Lastly, I don't see any reason why you could not bake these at 450 for 15-20 mins or so per side (spray lightly with oil, perhaps), but I have not tried it myself.
- 1 pkg extra firm tofu
- 1 1/4 cup plain soy milk
- 2 tbsp mustard
- 2 tbsp hot sauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- large pinch ground pepper
- 1 tsp poultry spice
- 1 tsp paprika (smoked if you have it)
- about 1 1/2 cups panko crumbs
- oil for frying
1. Cut tofu into 12 slices. Line a baking sheet with a towel, then place the tofu on top. Put a towel on top of the tofu, then put another baking sheet on top of that. Put a weight on top and press the tofu for 15 mins.
2. Get a frying pan heating on the stove over medium to medium high heat.
3. Whisk together soy milk, mustard, hot sauce, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together flour and spices in a another. Place 1/2 cup of the panko crumbs in yet another bowl.
4. Dip a piece of the tofu into the soy milk mixture, then dredge in the flour mixture. Set on a baking sheet. Repeat with all the tofu.
5. Add about 1/4 inch of oil to the frying pan. Re-dip 4 pieces in the soy milk mixture, then toss in the panko crumbs (one at a time of course, adding more panko to the bowl if needed). Fry for a few mins per side, until golden and crispy (adjusting heat as needed). Drain on paper towels or a paper bag.
6. Add fresh panko the bowl (another 1/2 cup or so) and repeat step 5 with another four pieces, adding more oil as needed. Repeat again with the remaining four pieces.
NOTE: a few pieces of panko will fall off during cooking that will start to burn and stick to your next pieces of tofu. If you don't care, then great. If you do care, then remove these pieces with a slotted spoon between batches.

Golden Crispy Tofu
Yes, this tofu is crispy. And yes it is golden. But, it is also pretty darn tasty. The mustard and the hot sauce combined with the spices makes it rather delightful on its own, or topped with a sauce of your choice. It is important to press the tofu well so there is not too much water trying escape during cooking that will sog your breading. The panko is also essential. Lastly, I don't see any reason why you could not bake these at 450 for 15-20 mins or so per side (spray lightly with oil, perhaps), but I have not tried it myself.

These look perfectly amazing!! I must confess to feeling incredibly silly, but I have absolutely no idea what "panko" is? Is it a particular type of bread or something else?
- April 8, 2011 at 7:11 PM
- Beany von Doom said...
These looks ridiculous-- in a good way of course! I've never bothered with panko, but I think I'll have to break down and give it a go for this.

That looks & sounds great, I'll definitely be making this soon.

This looks exactly like the tofu I had last week at Founding Farmers in DC. Wonderfully done! I'll bet it tastes even better than theirs.

Perfect! I actually made a version of this earlier in the week using a little cornmeal in the breading. Delicious! Can't wait to try it your way.

I've never tried pressing the tofu, but maybe that's the missing link! Sweet recipe, can't wait to try.

That looks incredible! I have not had much luck pan-frying breadcrumb-coated tofu though, so I may give your oven suggestion a try.

My mother and I have recently become vegan and are looking for recipes. This looks really good and we will be trying it. Thanks for creating this blog.

I'm trying a version of this today with a marinade to make the tofu taste 'chickeny' using No Chicken Stock. I'll try pressing it after and then using the breading suggested here. Any thoughts on regular store-bought breadcrumbs substituted for panko?
- May 1, 2011 at 11:22 AM
- tofudream said...
Mmm, this looks very delicious. The nice brown color of tofu is amazing but I never get to deep fry anything this nice. I can't wait to try this recipe.

tried this last weekend and blogged it last night - made a few changes but mainly wanted to let you know that it was worth posting your seaweed variation as it made me revisit this recipe and try it with breadcrumbs and crushed cornflakes - worked fantastically - because I never have panko.
I went the oven route - sprayed it with oil and baked it - was wonderfully crispy and loved by my 2 year old - thanks

Looks good! But what's in poultry spice?
- May 10, 2011 at 12:40 PM
- chellyisme said...
@Christina Fredricks: Poultry spice are the spices that one would normally put with poultry such as sage, garlic, nutmeg and mace. You can find poultry spice recipes online or you can find it pre-made in most grocery stores in the spices section.

I made this tonight and it was wonderful. The only suggestion I would have is the amount of the flour mixture and soy milk mixture were too much. Next time I will make about 3/4 of the amounts listed. Thanks vegan dad!

I keep asking myself "how in the world does he cut 12 pieces out of one package of tofu and still get a generous sized piece like in the picture?" lol. Care to share on this? :)
- August 7, 2011 at 12:25 AM
- Cosmo said...
I tried this tonight and it was really great. I baked it. It was awesomely crispy and my 18month old and my 5 year old both loved it dipped in BBQ sauce. I am very new to cooking and this was really easy once I figured what dredging was.

This has become a staple recipe in my house, and a favorite of my family. Thank you very much for sharing it!!
In case anybody is interested, my family is gluten-free, and my kids drink up all soymilk too quickly to keep it in the house, so I make a number of changes:
* replace the soymilk with homemade cashew milk (super easy - whirl 1/4 cup cashews with 1 cup water in the blender)
* omit the hot sauce
* replace the flour with a mix of gluten-free flours
* replace the poultry spice with 2/3 teaspoon sage + 1/3 teaspoon thyme
* replace the panko crumbs with ground-up-in-the-blender gluten-free "Crispy Brown Rice" breakfast cereal
For a simple dinner, I serve this with broccoli on the side. The way I cook broccoli, there's salty water that drips off. I like to use that as a minimalistic sauce on this tofu.
Any way you cook this, yum!!

Nine Places to Find Creative Inspiration
The Web is a vast, living museum of pictures and viewpoints. Filtering out the noise to find those special people, places, and projects that truly inspire isn't always easy.
I have some suggestions. The following nine sites have the effect of a brisk creative shower. They wake up my senses and help me feel a part of something bigger than myself. As you'll see, some are references, others offer a window into interesting lives and endeavors, and some have nothing to do with knitting whatsoever. I hope you find inspiration, and I invite you to tell me where you go to find inspiration.
1. Every Picture Tells a Story
Pictory is an online photojournalism magazine that features photos and stories from around the world—gorgeous and intriguing shots submitted by regular people who saw something, took a picture, and wanted to tell the story behind it.
In collaboration with Etsy, Pictory has released a beautifully curated collection of photos that speak to the art of craftsmanship. From a woodworker in Michigan's Upper Peninsula to weavers in Tamilnadu, India, to furriers in the Garment District of New York City, it's well worth a pause to look and read.
2. Archival Intrigue
Former Bishop and author of A History of Hand Knitting, Richard Rutt donated his entire library of books, journals, magazines, and patterns to the University of Southampton. His collection was particularly rich in knitting books dating from the 1800s. Lucky is the knitter who can visit the collection in person, but guess what? Many of those intriguing books from the 1800s have been digitized for your online enjoyment. The more you click, the deeper down the rabbit hole you'll fall.
3. Yarnbombing
You've seen the patchwork-covered bus, decked-out street lamps and parking meters, the bright pink knitted tank and the tree covered with blossoms (all documented in Yarnbombing's photostream). Knitters are finding increasingly original ways to adorn the world around them.
One particularly inspiring project comes from Juliana Santacruz Herrera, who has filled the cracked sidewalks of Paris with colorful braided strips of fabric. The interplay of densely packed colors and textures reminds me of both a Klimt painting and early Roman mosaics—which were, coincidentally, often used for pavement.4. Fiber as Visual Metaphor
This delightfully original natural gas commercial remains one of my most tried-and-true pick-me-ups. When the thermostat clicks "on" in the early morning, you watch as a cozy layer of warmth slowly knits its way up and through the house, winding its way up the stairs, around the napping cat's basket, streaming from the shower nozzle and even whistling from the tea kettle.
The ad captures the very feeling most of us have when we don our own knitted items. If you have more time, be sure to watch this behind-the-scenes story to see just how much time and care went into the creation of that fibery dreamland.5. Living the Life
Barbara Parry and her husband own Foxfire Fiber and Designs, a sheep farm and yarn company in western Massachusetts. They intentionally left behind a successful but high-stress corporate city life for an equally stressful but far more personally fulfilling life as sheep farmers.
In 2007 she began writing about her daily life on the farm in her blog Sheep Gal. Her writing has an intelligent, conversational tone that paints a vivid, honest, and beautiful picture of both the joys and hardships of the life she's chosen. Her lamb videos are guaranteed to cure all that ails you.
6. British Beauty
Jane Brocket's world has freshly clipped tulips in glass jars on north-facing windowsills, colorful hand-stitched linens, heaps of books you never realized you wanted to read, brightly painted toenails peeking out through blades of grass, and endless scones and cakes and cupcakes buried in a foamy sea of frosting and sparkling with bright candies and gumdrops made so tantalizing that you want to close your eyes and dive right into the photo.
Jane explored this world in her book, The Gentle Art of Domesticity, and she generously shares this same quiet beauty, order, and inspiration in her blog, Yarnstorm. It's one of my favorite weekly escapes.7. Beauty Redux, America Style
Here in the United States, Ann Shayne and Kay Gardiner paint an equally dreamy pair of domestic pictures in their blog, Mason-Dixon Knitting. While I already can hear both Ann and Kay snorting at my suggestion that theirs is perfect domestic bliss, they paint a beautiful picture from the outside.
What makes their blog special is its artful blend of keen critical insight and lighthearted silliness. More important perhaps is its inclusiveness. Theirs is not a party you must observe from the curb—you're greeted, hugged, and pulled inside the house with each post.
8. Knitting, A through Z
Susette Newberry has embarked upon a most unusual journey. She is knitting her way through the alphabet, from A to Z. She is creating an abecedarium, which she defines as, "an alphabet that celebrates the letters typographic design and the word that represents it." As such, these aren't just afghan squares with blocky intarsia letters. Each is subtle, a deeply researched and painstakingly executed work of art. 9. Just for Today
And finally, Today I Love. The name says it all. Each day (mostly, there have been some gaps) you'll be given a thought, or a quote, or a quick video clip or picture of something inspiring. Short and sweet.
Now it's your turn: What are your favorite daily clicks?Share your favorite sources of inspiration

Danby Cottages
Please find below a selection of self catering holiday cottages to rent in Danby, Yorkshire.
Savour a gentle pace of life and retreat to a Danby holiday
cottage in the pretty village of Danby, gateway to the North York
Moors National Park.
Lovers of the countryside adore this stunning region - and with good reason. Woodland, moorland, farmland, dry-stone walls, interesting old buildings - everything you could wish for is here amidst a gloriously tranquil setting.
Make your first port of call The Moors National Park Centre, an award-winning visitor centre on the banks of the Esk offering all kinds of information on things to see and do in the area, including the best walks and cycle routes. There's also an indoor climbing wall, outdoor play area, gift shop, tearoom and more. And do save time for a stroll through Crow Wood in the Centre's grounds, a natural playground for squirrels and birds and carpeted with daffodils in spring.
For the best views, head to the top of Danby Beacon or walk across Duck Bridge, a fine example of a single arched medieval packhorse bridge, and then on up the hill to Danby Castle, former home of Catherine Parr.
Explore the village and stock up with delicious breads and cakes from the local bakery, or sample tasty delights at the traditional inn. Talking of pubs, the oldest one for miles around can be found in the nearby village of Ainthorpe.
And don't forget a daytrip to Whitby on the scenic Esk Valley Railway. That's the great thing about a Danby cottage holiday - you're in the middle of spectacular countryside, yet only a stone's throw from the coast.

Cheerios® can be more than snacks--and floor confetti. Use them to make Tasha's ears. Wondering how to make her head? Beneath the icing is an oblong cookie.
Catch the Backyardigans on Nick Jr.
Tint one can of the vanilla frosting green. Spoon 1 cup of the green frosting into a pastry bag fitted with a small star tip; set it aside. Spoon 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting into a resealable bag; set it aside. Tint 1/4 cup of the vanilla frosting a brown/yellow with the food colors and spoon into a resealable bag. Tint the remaining vanilla frosting a pale yellow.
Trim 1/4-inch on one short side of the cookie using a serrated knife. Place the cookies on a wire rack placed over a wax-paper-lined sheet pan. Heat the pale-yellow frosting in a microwave-proof measuring cup for five seconds, or until it's the texture of slightly whipped cream. (Do not overheat!) Pour the frosting over the cookies to cover completely. Reheat the excess if necessary. Let the cookies dry for about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile frost the tops of the cupcakes with the green frosting. Transfer the cookies to the center of each cupcake. Pipe several patches of "grass" with the frosting in the pastry bag with the star tip.
Pipe dots of the vanilla frosting for the eyes and attach the mini chocolate chips, flat-side up. Add a small dot of vanilla frosting onto the chocolate chip. Attach the cereal rings as the ears. Snip a small corner from the bag with the brown/yellow frosting and pipe Tasha's nose, mouth, and eyebrows and lashes. Continue with the remaining cupcakes and ingredients.

Cannondale Aluminum Road Bike
Just tuned up, or so the article says
Trek Bike Computer
New Shimano 7 speed rear casset
Shimano RSX drivetrain
Mavric CXP 10 Wheelset
Bontrager Stlect tires.
and all the original documentation and manuals...
from what i can see in some pictures the bike looks to be in excelent condition. it has an R400 2.8 aluminum frame but i am not totally sure on what year the bike is. i am looking into it but i would like to know if it is a good deal. the add has a price of $500 OBO. i am willing to pay but not if it is not worth it.
Tough question to answer. Is this a road bike or mountain bike? How often do you want to ride? It's hard to tell by pictures but I would say you could do better by adding maybe $300-$400 to that budget price and get something new with much better features. Bike computers are a dime a dozen now also.
The choice is yours. Do a little homework before you jump into a purchase. You will be much more pleased with yourself and your bike if you do that.
Here is a link http://www.bikepedia.com/quickbike/BikeSpecs.aspx?Year=2004&Brand=Cannondale&Model=R400+Triple&Type=bike
Looks like the bike was around $700 when new if it is a 2004 model. Check its condition first, look espeically at the cables, and derailleurs, then offer $375 or $400 and haggle. Used bikes never bring the price the seller thinks they should. Been there, tried to sell one or two in my past. I guess that's one reason why I have more bikes in the garage than I should. I usually end up making a great price to a friend "new to cycling" with the hope I am going to get another riding partner. Mor often than not its a good trade off.
Gotta Ride Today
aka Chuck Faulkner
Tazewell, TN 37987
Those site has a good bike deal and also a good specs.
Hey,,,,500 seems a bit steep. The componentry that you listed seems older, and a bit outdated.
If I can make a suggestion, compare the bike to some of the road bikes on Giantnerd.com they have great prices.
I have had nothing but good experiences with them. you can even negotiate free shipping.
Do some internet research on the bike that this guy is offering, but generally the price is a bit high.
We own a bike shop and $500 is expensive for that age bike and components (the bikepedia post is a great start to see if the original spec components are still on the bike). I'm not trying to sell you a bike but to give you a reference point, we have 2010 closeout road bikes which are brand new/never ridden (with warranties) for only $549 (example: 2010 Cannondale CAAD8 8s). A brand new 2011 model is only $799.. again, all with warranties. Even if the used bike is in excellent condition, you'll still need to take it to a shop or someone who really knows bikes to make sure it's safe to ride (worn tires, worn brake pads, properly adjusted derailleurs, etc). I can't tell you how often we have customers who buy bikes on eBay or elsewhere only to find that components are worn out or bad (dead wheels, shifters w/ bad springs, stretched chains, etc).
My final piece of advice is to buy from a bike shop or get other help to ensure proper fit. Each manufacturer's bike geometry is different. Unless you've ridden this specific size in a Cannodale before, it may not be the right fit for you. Good luck and hope you find the right bike for you.
Hey there!! Hope all is well, but the last post should be a major step in helping you to purchase a bike. Heck, like I said earlier, a little homework and maybe a couple extra dollars and you can probably find exactly what you want for just a few dollars more.
Anyway, happy bike hunting and keep us posted.
Great advice so far. In my opinion a seven speed rear cassette is not worth the bother. Shimano is up to ten now and Campy to eleven so this is clue to the age of this bike. What is the purpose of purchasing the bike? To get into serious road riding or just to tool around or an entry level bike for teen who is going to outgrow it in one season?

Marlow Firefighter Michael Nunamaker, pictured, was one of about 20 firefighters who battled the blaze.Water was hauled from the nearest fire hydrant, which was at Hoskins Gap Road. Firefighters were on the scene for nearly four hours — but the unoccupied house was heavily damaged.

My mom used to make stew with dumplings like this when I was a kid. Basically, these are just like mini biscuits, but cooking them on top of the stew makes them tender and moist. My mom also used to serve them with pumpkin soup. Use them as you see fit.

It's funny how my notion of dumplings (Asian "potstickers") is so different from yours. But I'm definitely craving these right about now - and the recipe is so easy! Thanks for this :)

Ah dumplings! So good for such cold wet weather as we are having today. I recently read about a French/Belgian dumpling called (I think) "mique" - a giant, bread-loaf-sized dumpling, boiled in a vat and served with roast.

Vegandad, your recipes never disappoint! I just made these dumplings for the second time, and once again, they're perfect; they're light and airy, and totally comforting. And they're so easy to make!
I've only been reading your blog for a few weeks, but now, I make it a point to stop by every day. Every recipe I've tried has turned out just wonderfully. Thank you so much!

Made the dumplings with the Irish stew last week. The first night it was fantastic. Leftovers were a bit dry but I am gluten free and gluten free baked things always dry out fast. I need to try halving some of the recipes since it's just me.

That print is funky fresh. And I used to run quite a bit (haven't in a while on account of my health and my knees giving up on me). Sounds silly, but make sure you get the right shoes! Overpronate, underpronate, high arch, low arch, you need to make sure you've got the right support and soles. Good luck :D

Two years ago, Waverly, W.Va., resident Mindi Ford broke her arm.
It barely fazed her.
"I felt it snap, I heard it snap, and it didn't hurt," she said.
Article Photos
Waterford resident Missy Reed, left, and Waverly, W.Va., resident Mindi Ford discuss the effects of reflex sympatheic dystrophy syndrome, or RSD, a condition with which both have been diagnosed that causes excruciating pain, among other symptoms.
The Marietta Times
That's because Ford has been dealing for a decade with pain that, according to the McGill pain index, is more than twice as excruciating as a broken bone, and even more severe than childbirth or having a finger amputated. Applying ice to her arms or taking a shower is agonizing, and a friendly pat on the shoulder once caused her to black out.
The condition is known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome (RSD) or complex regional pain syndrome. The cause is unknown, but it often results from a traumatic injury, sprain, fracture or surgery and causes pain in affected areas that is dramatically disproportionate to the injury itself.
Starting this year, November will be recognized in Ohio as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Awareness Month, thanks to a bill recently approved by the General Assembly. It goes along with an effort by the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association and folks like Ford to spread the word about the disease, generating awareness for research and for diagnosing people sooner, when the condition is more treatable.

RSD Awareness - www.rsdawareness.com
About RSD
Called reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome or complex regional pain syndrome.
The principal symptom is pain that is dramatically disproportionate to the injury, along with pathological changes in bone and skin, excessive sweating, tissue swelling and extreme sensitivity to touch.
Physicians don't know what causes the condition, but it usually occurs after a traumatic injury, surgery, sprain, fracture or period of immobilization.
There is currently no cure, but there are treatments that are more effective the earlier it is diagnosed.
Source: Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association.
Jim Broatch, executive vice president and director of the association, said there's no good data on how many people RSD affects, but it's estimated there are at least 50,000 new cases a year. Research is suggesting the cause is not just neurological but could also be inflammatory and related to the immune system.
"The evidence is starting to accumulate; there's no smoking gun yet," Broatch said.
Waterford resident Missy Reed, 44, is a registered nurse, but she knew virtually nothing about RSD when she was diagnosed with it four years ago. She contracted it in her left foot after surgery to repair her Achilles tendon and, as RSD tends to do, it spread to the other foot after a similar procedure two years later.
"I've been through two childbirths and a tubal pregnancy. And of course the tubal pregnancy was worse," Reed said. "I would much rather go through the tubal pregnancy again than the RSD pain."
Although she uses a combination of five medications to mitigate the effects of RSD as best she can, efforts to keep the pain from becoming even more unbearable affect even the smallest aspects of her daily life.
"I sleep on my stomach with my feet hanging over the bed," she said. "Nothing's touching them, so I can sleep."
Reed said she can't wear flip-flops to Walmart, lest the cold air from an opened freezer door send a burst of agony through her feet. And while she once held numerous track records at Fort Frye High School, she no longer runs.
"Year after year, your list of can'ts gets longer," she said.
Both women said adapting to the pain and focusing on the positives in their lives help them deal with the pain, which is constant and sometimes flares to even higher levels.
Reed still works, something Ford, 45, is no longer able to do.
She ended up changing careers more than 10 years ago when the symptoms started. She had run a catering company, and believes the repetitive motions in which she carried heavy weights led to her contracting the disease.
"My arm was turning purple. It would just drop limp for no reason. I wouldn't be able to hold a piece of paper between my finger and my thumb," Ford said.
Then there was the pain.
"It really felt like my arm was in a campfire and you couldn't pull it out," she said.
The initial diagnosis was two conditions - carpal tunnel and thoracic outlet syndrome. An electromyogram eventually led to a doctor diagnosing her with RSD.
It was a condition she'd never heard of, but all the research she did afterward painted a bleak picture. There was no known cure, but the disease was treatable - if it was caught early, which Ford's was not. Eventually, she got what she refers to as "the death sentence," when "the doctors are pretty much telling you, 'I'm sorry. There's nothing more we can do.'"
"When you get that death sentence you mourn. You literally are mourning the death of the life you knew," Ford said.
Ford and Reed attended Putnam Elementary School together but lost touch with each other after the sixth grade. They reconnected through Facebook, just as Reed was starting to deal with her diagnosis and recognized the symptoms Ford was describing online.
The camaraderie between them and other people living with RSD is an important part of coping.
"You can't imagine it until you experience it," Ford said.
It's sometimes hard for friends and family, even some medical personnel, to grasp what an RSD patient is going through. The website for the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome Association advises people who know someone with RSD to believe the pain is real, even if it doesn't seem evident or seems out of proportion to what the individual is experiencing.
Ford said she frequently discusses her condition online, not to complain, but to raise awareness about it.
"We want people to see it, recognize it as a possibility and have it as one of the first things checked, rather than one of the last things checked," she said.

Grand Central: Fed Reinforcements on the Way
The Wall Street Journal's Daily Report on Global Central Banks for Friday, April 25, 2014
Sign up for the newsletter: http://on.wsj.com/grandcentralsignup.
"These models have failed to make sense of the sort of extreme macroeconomic events, such as crises, recessions and depressions, which matter most to society," – Bank of England Official Andrew Haldane.
Janet Yellen got good news from the Senate Banking Committee Thursday: The prospect of reinforcements. The panel will vote Tuesday on President Barack Obama's three nominees for seats on the seven-seat Federal Reserve Board of Governors. That increases the odds the group will be in place in time for the Fed's policy meeting June 18-19, when the central bank updates its interest rate and economic forecasts and Chairwoman Yellen holds her second press conference.
The Fed is now operating with four governors – Ms. Yellen, Daniel Tarullo, Jeremy Stein and Jerome Powell. The three nominees are Mr. Powell, who has been tapped for a new term, plus Stanley Fischer and Lael Brainard. Mr. Stein has announced he'll be leaving the Fed at the end of May and returning to his post as a professor at Harvard University.
The nominees are expected to win committee approval and Senate confirmation, but a final vote by the full chamber has not been scheduled. If they are confirmed before the June meeting, the Fed's board would then have at least five members. If they are not confirmed by then, the board would be down to just three governors.
Some analysts think Ms. Yellen could use the additional votes at Fed policy meetings. But it's not really votes that she needs right now. The Fed is a pretty peaceful place at the moment. In the last three policy meetings there have been only two dissents. This is the smallest dissent tally for a three-meeting period since early 2011.
More important is that the new officials would help ease the workload of the governors' day-to-day activities, for instance running board committees overseeing bank supervision, community affairs, regional Fed banks, research and other areas. The arrival of Mr. Fischer, nominated to become Fed vice chairman, would be especially important in this respect because the No. 2 central bank official often plays an important behind-the-scenes role helping the institution run smoothly.
It will also help the Fed avoid a procedural challenge. As my counterpart Robin Harding at the Financial Times has noted, Fed board members have trouble talking to each other when the board is depleted because of government sunshine laws and quorum rules. If any two officials meet with a board of just three people, the meeting would need to be announced as an official policy gathering in advance. No more stopping by the office for a chat about optimal control theory or financial stability concerns.
As the new boss with plenty on her plate, Ms. Yellen will surely welcome the help.

Russia Central Bank Raises Rates. Russia's central bank boosted interest rates Friday, in a surprise move aimed at reining in inflation while the confrontation with the West over Ukraine escalates. The decision followed hot on the heels of a downgrade of Russia's credit rating to one notch above junk by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which turned up the pressure on beleaguered Russian assets. http://on.wsj.com/1k0mFEu
ECB Constancio: Considering All Options To Stem Risks From Low Inflation. The European Central Bank is considering non-conventional instruments, including asset purchases, to stem a prolonged period of low inflation, Vice President Vitor Constancio said Thursday. "We are looking into all instruments, including non-conventional instruments such as asset purchases… in order to respond to risks that come from a very prolonged period of low inflation," he said at a conference in Madrid. http://on.wsj.com/1jHSmRA
Japan's Tepid Victory Over Deflation. The good news: Economists increasingly are convinced that Japan has finally slain its deflation dragon. The bad news: The victory they envision doesn't look like much to celebrate, with a future of slow growth and painful policy choices. http://on.wsj.com/1iUyo9D
Swiss Central Bank Sees Demand for Safe Haven. For the Swiss National Bank, the world is still perceived by investors to be such a dangerous place that demand for the franc as a safe haven risks damaging the nation's exporters. http://on.wsj.com/1fdwDoz
BOE's Haldane Backs Broader Approach to Economics. U.K. university students pushing for an overhaul of the way economics is taught have found a powerful ally: the Bank of England's Andy Haldane. Mr. Haldane, the BOE's financial stability guru and soon-to-be chief economist, has written a foreword to a 60-page report produced by the University of Manchester's Post-Crash Economics Society. "It is time to rethink some of the basic building blocks of economics," he writes. He takes aim at the "aesthetically beautiful" economic models students learn how to construct in many undergraduate classes. "These models have failed to make sense of the sort of extreme macroeconomic events, such as crises, recessions and depressions, which matter most to society." Economies in crisis behave more like "slime descending a warehouse wall" than the orderly machines predicted in neoclassical models, he says. http://on.wsj.com/1iiuym2
Banks Cut Lending For 7th Straight Quarter, BIS Says. Banks cut their international lending for the seventh straight quarter in the three months to December, with financial institutions based in the euro zone once again leading the retrenchment, according to the Bank for International Settlements. The Basel-based group of central banks Thursday said cross-border lending by banks fell by $93 billion in the fourth quarter of last year, a 0.3% drop from the three-months to September. That brought the cumulative decline in international lending since the end of March 2012 to $2.3 trillion, or 7.7%. http://on.wsj.com/1nsp7sy
Senate Banking Committee to Vote on Fed Nominees on April 29. The Senate Banking Committee said it will vote next Tuesday on three of President Barack Obama's nominees for the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, including Stanley Fischer, his choice for vice chairman. The committee vote on the nominations of Mr. Fischer, former chief of the Bank of Israel; Lael Brainard, a former Treasury official; and Jerome Powell, a current Fed governor nominated for another term. The are expected to be approved by the committee and confirmed by the full Senate, though no final vote has been scheduled. http://on.wsj.com/1rps7Ua
Demand for Home Loans Plunges. Mortgage lending declined to the lowest level in 14 years in the first quarter as homeowners pulled back sharply from refinancing and house hunters showed little appetite for new loans, the latest sign of how rising interest rates have dented the housing recovery. http://http://on.wsj.com/1lNwSFp
Turkey's Central Bank Holds Rates Despite Pressure For Cuts. Turkey's central bank resisted government pressures to loosen up, and kept key interest rates steady at its monthly meeting Thursday. The result: a market rally and a chorus of economists singing Governor Erdem Basci's praises for bolstering the bank's credibility. The lira briefly extended gains past 1% to 2.1279 per dollar after policymakers in Ankara kept the benchmark one-week repo rate of 10% and the overnight lending rate of 12% unchanged for a third consecutive month since January's aggressive emergency hikes. "The tight monetary policy stance will be maintained until there there is a significant improvement in the inflation outlook," the central bank said. http://on.wsj.com/1fuReQ4
Investors Embrace 'Catastrophe Bonds'. Insurance companies are taking advantage of the appetite for high-yielding debt by selling bonds that can force investors to help pay for the cost of natural disasters. With the U.S. hurricane season about a month away, insurers are issuing "catastrophe bonds" at the fastest clip since before the financial crisis. Insurers sell the bonds to help cover potential claims from hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes and other major insured risks. While losses on so-called cat bonds have been rare over the years, investors can forfeit both interest payments and their principal if disaster costs exceed designated levels, which gives insurers the right to tap the funds. http://on.wsj.com/1ka2aqp
China's Central Bank Looks for Better Monetary-Measuring Tools. Three years after China's central bank unveiled a new measure to calculate the amount of credit in the economy, it may be going back to the drawing board. http://on.wsj.com/1nMlAm8
Commodity Markets Shift to Brighter View of China. World commodity markets are turning more positive toward China as the country continues to import massive amounts of resources such as iron ore, copper and soybeans even as economic growth slows. Fears of a hard landing for China's economy, which grew at its slowest pace in 18 months in the first quarter, have driven prices for many commodities sharply lower this year. That has compounded broad price declines since 2011, spurred by China's decelerating economy and a wave of new supply of many raw materials. Now, many investors and analysts are betting prices have bottomed. They contend China's government is likely to avert an economic meltdown and that growth will stabilize at current levels around 7%. While that is below the double-digit expansions of the past decade, the economy is now so large it will continue to suck in rising quantities of raw materials for years to come, they argue. http://on.wsj.com/1nK60aE
Wall Street investors spend a lot of time and money trying to figure out just what indicators the Federal Reserve is likely to stress in its policy making decisions about interest rates and bond buys. The Dallas Fed has been kind – and transparent – enough, to share theirs with us. This is gives some perspective on what may be informing the decisions of Dallas Fed President Richard Fisher, an inflation hawk and also a voter on this year's Federal Open Market Committee.

Maybe Fed Bond Buys Were Helping A Little More than You Thought. Jared Bernstein, former chief economist for Vice President Joe Biden, is coming out in defense of the Fed's bond buys, or large-scale asset purchases. "One cannot help but notice the recent slowdown in the housing recovery and one further cannot help but wonder about the extent to which Fed actions to pull back on their LSAPs is implicated in said slowdown, though there are of course other moving parts here," Mr. Bernstein writes on his blog. http://jaredbernsteinblog.com/maybe-qe-was-helping-a-little-more-than-you-thought/
ECB Action in Play—But Not in The Bag. The evidence that the ECB might launch another round of monetary stimulus over the coming months is growing. But it's still far from conclusive, writes WSJ columnist Alen Mattich. "Mr Draghi argued that unwarranted tightening of market conditions would prompt the ECB into action. The ECB has been particularly concerned about the euro's strength lately. But although the single currency is up some 5% on where it was a year ago on a trade-weighted basis and up 14% on its lows of the summer of 2012, it is still well below its 2008 and 2009 highs." At the same time, lower sovereign debt yields across the region have "created a substantial loosening of monetary conditions," he writes. http://on.wsj.com/1f8cGzQ
Time Has Come for Unconventional Monetary Policy Silvia Merler of the Bruegel think tank says that since banks are repaying funds borrowed under the European Central Bank's Long-Term Refinancing Operations in order to cleanse themselves of the stigma associated with such a reliance on public sector support, "the time has come for truly unconventional monetary policy." http://www.bruegel.org/nc/blog/detail/article/1310-shrinking-times

During 1969, the "UFO Newsclipping Service" was founded by Rod Dyke. Taken over from Rod Dyke by Lucius Farish in 1977
Web Resources
There is a rapid turnover of UFO material on the Internet. Many links to material on UFO websites quickly become out of date. Therefore, instead of giving many links to specific webpages I have instead included below a search box which can be used to search various leading UFO websites at the same time. You can then click on tabs at the top of the search results to list only results from forums, only results from websites I have labelled as "skeptical" etc. I have included tabs for a couple of specific websites that I find particularly useful, including the valuable archives of the UFO UpDates email discussion List. The relevant websites are all listed in the discussion of the "UFO Searchillion" search engine in Section 2.4 of the "Free UFO Researcher Starter Pack" and continues to evolve...
The relevant search box is one of the two main tools on this website which are intended to help reduce the amount of reinvention of the wheel within UFOlogy. The other main tool is the collection of tables of references to discussion of UFO incidents, personalities and other matters in various books. Those tables can be sorted by author, length and date. I hope these tools are useful.
Book References
The table below includes references to relevant discussions in UFO/SETI books noted by Isaac Koi during a review of approximately 963 UFO/SETI books during the period 2003-2006 (with a few later additions). The table can be sorted by author, date and length of discussion by clicking on the relevant word in the top line of the table.
Many of the tables of references on this website are considerably longer than the references to books found on most other UFO websites. Indeed, some are probably the longest that have been collated in relation to some events and personalities. Together with the "UFO Searchillion" search box, I hope that these tables are found to be a useful contribution to UFOlogy.

SANTA CLARA -- Linebacker NaVorro Bowman tore the anterior and medial collateral ligaments in his left knee during the 49ers' 23-17 loss at Seattle in the NFC Championship game, a league source said Monday.
A torn ACL was the preliminary report coach Jim Harbaugh gave after Sunday's game. Bowman hasn't commented yet about his injury. He was seen briefly Monday walking on crutches to an awaiting car at the team facility, while the 49ers held their final team meeting.
If Bowman needs support as he recovers this offseason, cornerback Chris Culliver knows firsthand the challenges that await the 49ers' star linebacker. "I'll be there every step of the way and help him out in anything he needs," said Culliver, who missed this season after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament in training camp.
Safety Eric Reid said Bowman was "surprisingly optimistic" on Sunday night's flight home. "He sacrificed his body for this team," Reid said. "He's our leader and arguably the best player that we have. To see him go down, it hurts."
Bowman won the team's most prestigious honor, the Len Eschmont Award, while leading the team in tackles and getting a career-high five sacks in the regular season. He also repeated on the AP All-Pro and Pro Bowl teams.
"Prayers out to my brother (Bowman). Very tough guy so I know he will get through this like a champ," linebacker Darius Fleming tweeted. Fleming, Culliver, Tank Carradine, Mario Manningham and Marcus Lattimore all battled ACL injuries this season.
Culliver said he's recovered from his ACL tear and gauged that the process could take between nine months to a year, depending on the work put into it.
Gore held an autograph signing in Burlingame at Lefty's Sports shop, which posted news on its social-media forums that Gore played Sunday through his hand injury that may require surgery Tuesday.
Neither the 49ers nor Gore's agent could be immediately reached for confirmation.
The Dallas Cowboys' DeMarco Murray was assigned Gore's Pro Bowl spot.
Staley sustained a compound dislocation of his right thumb in Sunday's first quarter. He needed four stitches to close the wound and played through the injury, missing only one snap.
Kansas City's Derrick Johnson will replace Bowman, Chicago's Kyle Long will replace Iupati, and Buffalo's Marcell Dareus will replace Smith.
"Most definitely, we'll have a vendetta out for them," Brooks said.
Strong safety Donte Whitner said he and his teammates are disappointed for more than missing out on playing in the Super Bowl for the second straight year.
"It makes it a little worse, because I wanted to send those fans home crying," Whitner said of the Seahawks' fan base. "And we had an opportunity to do that on the last drive."

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Here we go again
The game against Maribor was a huge step backwards IMO. The players were lack lustre, giving the ball away was almost compulsory, no cohesion at all and all together absolute rubbish against a side that Birmingham beat 2-1.
Whilst Hudd had another absolute nightmare and I would love to say he was the worst player on the park (which he almost was) Townsend was even worse. Sig may have got the goal but he was also crap.
However, whilst just about everybody on the park looked like they had never kicked a ball before, for me it was once again a case of the tactics being all wrong. Again we had little Defoe completely isolated but this time we also had no width. Lennon, who started on the right against a right footed left back, kept coming inside but then swapped to the left wing leaving Townsend, who couldn't trap a bag of manure, on the right. Sandro at least tried but slipped over so many times I thought he was wearing slippers. Hudd gave the ball away with long cross field balls so many times it was embarrassing but then he spent most of his time as a third centre back - presumably trying to hide somewhere he wouldn't get the ball. Even Fowler commented on how poorly he was playing.
Walker got caught out of position several times and Naughton looked like he was unfit. Completely at a loss to understand what went wrong but one thing is for sure, if we keep playing like this we will once again have a very mundane season ahead.
One last thought - would we have pulled our socks up and got stuck in if we had a proper leader on the park? Someone like Parker who would wind everybody up to at least put more effort in. Unfortunately our Captain for the night was.......Lennon. I have never seen him even speak (can he talk??) let alone show any passion whatsoever on or off the park. Is Lennon the inspriational leader that Spurs need?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
not looking good is it sfer.
we have quite a strong 1st 11 but we rely too heavily on our key players. we are still missing a modric replacement too.
i fear we have missed out on our chance to get moutinho.
dont get me started on hudd. he was awful again. defensively he is a liability. & apart from the odd long pass & odd long shot, he offers nothing going foward. stoke is more his level.
his lack of fitness shows his lack of desire & commitment to spurs.
so far sig & dempsey havent really settled in & impressed yet.
but dempsey has mainly being played out of position.
whereas sig has just been poor.
but got to give them time.
hudd has had plenty of time & has never done it!
i was shocked when i saw we have given townsend a 4yr contract! never going to be good enough for us.
he didnt really impress much in the championship either.
yes i too find myself agreeing with fowler. apart from the odd long pass does he actually contribute.
i dont understand making lennon captain either.
we have missed parker this season. sandro has been great but sometimes he needs help or a break because he does so much leg work. we could have done with parker against chelsea.
its going to be a long season. i still think 6th is a good target considering team & manager we have got.
top 3 is done & dusted.

I watched Willian against Chelsea and was most impressed, so I hope we renew our interest in Jan, especially as he has issued a " come and get me " statement. Hopefully we can still get Moutino because I think we were very close in the summer. The thing we are lacking throughout the squad now is anyone with genuine flair and sharpness. Some people asked, is Modric really any good? he dont score goals ect, but I think we can see exactly what he did, and thats set the tempo of our play, and the ability to get out of tight spots and keep moves flowing. now we lack anyone with creativity, and only have Dembele with any purpose about their play. On last night, I agree with most things ( Sandro needs to stop thinking he's Brazilian ) and trying to dribble his way pass players, and stick to what he does best. The one point I would disagree about is Lennon. although he didnt really take on the full backs enough, I thought he showed a lot of energy and desire and while he might be seen as an odd choice for captain, I saw him at least three times having ago at some of our player's for not doing the simple, basic thing's in strong terms and I was pleased to see he took the armband seriously.

MARIETTA - Around 55 students from the Rotary Youth Exchange program will travel to Marietta this weekend from Columbus and parts of southeastern Ohio for service projects, camaraderie and training.
Every year, the Rotary Youth Exchange program sponsors around 8,000 exchange students, mostly high school juniors and seniors, said Marietta Noon Rotary Club member David Vandenberg.
Vandenberg, who organized this weekend's event, said the goal is to promote the club's motto of "service above self" and to further promote international relations.
"The goal of this particular mission in rotary is to foster international peace and understanding and cultural acceptance," said Vandenberg.
Vandenberg is also hoping to generate a renewed interest in the program locally.
"The reason I'm promoting this is because the Marietta Rotary Club used to sponsor international students," said Vandenberg.
Marietta has no inbound students visiting from other countries. Though he can not remember the last time the Marietta Rotary Club actively sponsored inbound exchange students, Vandenberg estimates that it has been more than 20 years.
"We need to find out if people are interested in hosting students," said Vandenberg.
Additionally, the club members hope to find more local students who are interested in going abroad.
Marietta does have one outbound student. Vandenberg's daughter, Emilie, is on exchange in Ecuador.
"Their parents do not have to be Rotarians," said Vandenberg.
Host families do not need to be Rotary members either, but potential host families do have to submit to a background check.
Though there is some cost associated with it, the Rotary Club subsidized the exchange program so it typically costs half of what other exchange programs do, said Vandenberg.
The short term program, a one month summer program, typically costs $600 plus airfare. The long term program, which lasts 11 months, typically costs $6,000 or less, said Walter Lundstrom, outbound chair for the district's Rotary Youth Exchange Program.
The students visiting this weekend are from Rotary District 6690, which encompasses Columbus, Marietta and much of southeastern Ohio. They are part of the club's longterm exchange program, which lasts a full year. Of the visitors, 14 are inbound, representing a dozen countries, including Hungary, Germany, Ecuador, Turkey and France. The other participants are students from the district who are training to go outbound next year, said Vandenberg.
"We also invite what we call rebounds, the kids that were on exchange last year," said Vandenberg.
The rebounds are good resources for the youth currently on exchange or training to go abroad, he explained.
The exchange students will arrive in Marietta Saturday and participate in service projects at the Boys and Girls Club, The Ely Chapman Education Foundation and The House of Hope. They will also take a walking tour highlighting the history of Marietta and attend the ArcheDream for Humankind performance at Washington State Community College, part of the Evergreen Arts & Humanities Series.
"Part of the program is about learning about new cultures," said Vandenberg.
Students who end up participating in the long term exchange program are expected to make a presentation to their local rotary club about their experience upon return.
"This is such a life changer. These students in the long term program they are only gone for 11 months, but we say when they come back it is like they have matured seven years," said Lundstrom.
This weekend's visit will conclude with a lock-in at the Marietta Family YMCA, where the students will have fun and enjoy the fellowship of the other participants, said Vandenberg.

Research Summary
The research in our laboratory is focused on novel approaches to vaccine development based on recombinant viruses and on specific targeting of viral vectors. Several years ago our group developed methodology for generating recombinants of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) starting from plasmid DNA. VSV is a simple membrane-enveloped, negative-strand RNA virus that grows to high titers in most animal cells. These recombinant VSVs expressing foreign viral proteins induce potent cellular and humoral immune responses to the foreign proteins in animals and protect from infection or disease caused by other viruses such as influenza, measles, respiratory syncytial virus, SARS, and a monkey AIDS virus. We are interested in understanding the mechanisms by which the recombinants generate such strong immune responses and in ways to enhance these responses further while improving vector safety. In addition, we are developing novel priming and boosting vaccine vectors based on propagating replicons of positive-strand RNA viruses.

The first set opened with the now familiar funk of "Wolfman's Brother" and "Moma Dance." Following the haphazard run around the Meadows of "Guyute" the racing pig, a smooth psycho-cerebral ambient jam evolved out of "Horn." This first taste of the nebulous and throbbing jam-space that was to be the dominant Phish sound of '98 was quite exciting. It opened up portions of the universe I had previously been unable to visit. I liked these spaces"...a lot.
The second set was all out fun and all about Mike. "Limb by Limb" got things off to a lively start and flowed pretty smoothly into "Simple." The show was then iced at ten on the personal enjoyment scale with the appearance of the "California Love" infused "Tweezer." Since we were in Oregon, this tease could be taken several ways: the band has a disdain for Oregon and prefers California; the band thinks that Portland is in California and has no idea Oregon exists (which is possible considering that Trey seems to think the Gorge is in Seattle); or more likely the band agrees with 2Pac and Dre that the West side is in fact the best side!
Although I could have heard just about anything in the remainder of the show and been happy, what I got was a heavy dose of "Free", several thick slices of "Meat", and a "Harry Hood" which carried me all the way to the rocky twilit slopes of the nearby volcano that shares its name, and back again. The "Wilson>Tweeprise" encore was a growling heavy metal monster, one of the strongest parting shots I can remember from any Phish show I have attended. Minutes later I was rocking in a backyard hammock while staring into space and giggling at nothing in particular with several close friends. Does it get any better than that?
