VAIL, Colorado - With a World Cup win on the Olympic halfpipe in Sochi just two weeks ago and some down time after a jam-packed competition schedule for six straight weeks, Kelly Clark is heading into this week's Burton U.S. Open with confidence.
Clark picked up second place in halfpipe at the Burton European Open earlier this month in Switzerland, and won X Games gold in Aspen about a month ago, too.
It's no surprise that Clark is one of the women to beat this week in Vail because, well, when isn't she?
She's been dominating women's superpipe snowboarding for what seems like forever. She picked up an Olympic gold medal 11 years ago at the 2002 games, and won bronze at the 2010 games.
Clark, 29, arrived in Vail this week and practiced on its brand new, 22-foot-high, 600-foot-long superpipe built just for the Burton U.S. Open. She told the Vail Daily Tuesday it's one of the best pipes she's ridden all year, which says a lot considering she's already competed in Aspen, Copper Mountain, Park City, Switzerland and Sochi in 2013.
Her tricks in Sochi went like this: Frontside air, backside 540, frontside 1080, cab 720, frontside 540 and backside air. (Check out the Vail Daily on competition day to find out what these terms actually mean.)
The Sochi win - on an unknown slope in less-than-ideal conditions - is a testament to the kind of rider Clark is - focused, competitive and determined.
She's humble, too - surprisingly so for a women with 14 X Games and three Olympic games under her belt, and with more wins than any women in the history of her sport.
"Something I love about snowboarding is that you can never be the best, you can never arrive," Clark said. "It's always progressing and in order to stay on top you have to change and progress with the sport, and I've been able to do that."
Clark recognizes she's already had an abnormally long snowboarding career, but with her riding where it's at now, there's no telling when she'll retire.
"I think I'm constantly challenged and that's what keeps it exciting and fun for me after all this time," Clark said. "I probably love it more today than I did when I started."
Clark joked that if anyone in the sport should be burned out by now, it's her. But it's her ability to focus on the bigger picture that has kept her competing at such a high level.
"I've really just grown up through the sport of snowboarding and I've matured into the person I am as a result of my experiences. I think I've learned what I value, and the biggest thing I've learned is not to get my self-worth from what I do," Clark said. "I don't look for my significance in snowboarding - it's simply a sport that I love that I get to do - it's not something that defines me."
When Clark came to Vail last July for the announcement about the U.S. Open's new home, she told the Vail Daily the U.S. Open is second only to the X Games in terms of the most renowned annual freestyle competitions. She knew last summer that the change of venue would give the event a different identity, and immediately had positive thoughts about the change - even coming from a Vermont native who was sad to see the U.S. Open leave her home state.
This week, she reflected on what the event has meant to her over the years.
"The U.S. Open is the longest running event out there, and it has shaped competitive snowboarding as we know it. I was inspired growing up attending the Open as a spectator and have enjoyed being a competitor in the event for some time now," Clark said. "It will be fun to see the Open take on a new identity here in Vail. I think it will continue to be one of the pinnacle events and shape our sport in the years to come."
And just because Clark is the winningest woman in halfpipe history - with accolades like a 2002 Olympic gold medal, 2010 Olympic bronze medal, and notable moments such as landing the first-ever 1080 in women's competition at Winter X Games 15 - it doesn't mean she doesn't continue to dream and push herself.
Clark's biggest trick right now is her "front 10," which is a frontside 1080, meaning she does six 180-degree rotations. She said there's no doubt she'll be throwing it at this week's finals.
Because the U.S. Open is pretty late in the season for these athletes, Clark said it's nice because they've already put a lot of big events behind them and also gotten their riding where it needs to be.
Clark said women's snowboarding is "at an all-time high" right now. She's looking forward to putting a long pipe run together - perhaps a version of the run she did at the X Games this year, she said.
"It has been fun to be a part of the progression," Clark said.
Clark knows other riders will be going big this week, too. She said Elena Hight and Arielle Gold will be other ladies to watch this week.

Are there swimming organizations that I can join?
Check your local pool to see if they have a club that you can join. You can also check out United States Masters Swimming (http://www.usms.org/), a national, nonprofit organization with 500 clubs in 53 regions throughout the United States that organizes workouts, competitions, clinics, and workshops for adults ages 18 and over, with members as old as 100!
Can my young child start swimming?
There are many clubs and pools that offer swim lessons for infants and children, but parents should be cautious. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), a medical organization of 55,000 primary care pediatricians and pediatric medical specialists that sets guidelines for pediatric health in the United States, states that children are not developmentally ready for formal swimming lessons until after their fourth birthday. According to the AAP and its policy statement "Swimming Programs for Infants and Toddlers," drowning is a leading cause of unintentional injury and death in the pediatric age group and that drowning rates are highest among toddlers ages 1 to 2 years of age. They note that while an estimated 5-10 million infants and preschool children participate in aquatic programs, these should not be promoted as a way to decrease the risk of drowning. They emphasize that parents should not feel secure that their child is safe in water or safe from drowning after participating in an aquatic program. Ultimately, the conclusion is that, "Whenever infants and toddlers are in or around water, an adult should be within an arm's length, providing 'touch supervision.'"
What about triathlons?
Triathlons combine swimming, running, and biking into one big event. Distances for each event vary with six-mile runs up to full marathons, 25- to 100-mile bike rides, and half-mile lake, river, or pool swims to two-mile ocean swims. Triathlons are growing in popularity across the United States and combine the athletic challenges of strength, endurance, determination, and discipline. Check out the USA Triathlon Web site at http://www.usatriathlon.org/ to learn more about triathlons.

Midland Elementary School officials said they have installed new precautionary measures following a Sept. 21 incident that is being investigated by Elkins City Police.
In a recent letter sent home with Midland students, Principal Melinda J. Akers told parents "please be assured that protocol was followed and that I have been working closely with both the superintendent's office and the Elkins City Police."
Dr. James Phares, the Randolph County superintendent of schools, told The Inter-Mountain no one was injured in the incident, and said it was most likely a misunderstanding. However, the situation still is being investigated by the city police.
"Information on the matter will be released upon the completion of the (police) investigation," Akers wrote in her letter to parents.
Educators are using the incident as an opportunity to increase safety precautions at the school.
"The safety of our students is of the utmost concern to me and the members of the Midland staff," Akers wrote. "Precautionary measures have been put in place to help protect our students."
Phares said the incident showed officials some security gaps that have since been corrected.
"We used it as an early warning sign that our security needs to be tightened up," Phares said. "At the school level, I met immediately with the faculty to go through safety protocols."
Phares said the teachers were reminded during the meeting that all students need to be within a teacher's sight at all times.
He also said three action steps have been taken. First, Midland is installing a security lock with a magnetic card-swipe system on the back side of the building near the playground. With the new system, children can be brought back inside through the back door, without having to return to the front of the building.
Second, staff members let the students involved in the incident know they did exactly what they were supposed to do, which was to notify their teacher if they saw something or someone unusual.
Third, Phares also reminded the staff to stay vigilant.
"Randolph County Schools is taking all steps to ensure the safety of the students at Midland and in other schools in the county," Akers wrote to parents.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, April 1, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Washington gridlock is slowing things down miles away in Augusta. Congress has yet to pass a budget, and several nonprofits in Augusta depend on that money.
Housing and Urban Development announced its funding is on hold until Congress passes a budget.
"It's another hurdle. We just take them one day at a time," said MACH Academy Executive Director Betty Jones.
Commissioners who were once against giving MACH Academy $25,000 are now considering it and will vote at Tuesday night's commission meeting.
Funding is still a problem.
"Funding is being cut for a lot of organizations. People in Washington have no clue as to what is going on on the local level," Jones said.
"Until Congress passes a budget, everything is on hold," said HUD Executive Director Chester Wheeler.
Wheeler is talking about millions of dollars for nonprofits that have yet to be given out to places like the Salvation Army, Golden Harvest and MACH Academy all because of budget battles in Washington.
"It's put in your account and your write checks on it. Because they haven't approved the budget, nothing is in the account," Wheeler said. "Nobody at this point has been advised as to how much our annual allocations for our federal programs will be."
"We are always chasing those dollars trying to stay ahead," Jones said.
National leaders continue to spar over political ideologies while programs that help locals will continue to feel even more of the economic squeeze.

Running Arachne
From ArachneWiki
After you have set up the Arachne code package and organized the input files, you can begin running Arachne.
Arachne is run through through the use of executable modules, which are located in ARACHNE_BIN_DIR after a successful compilation. To run a module, simply type its name at the command line (you may need to run from ARACHNE_BIN_DIR if your PATH environment variable is not set correctly.) Each module accepts a set of command-line arguments specifying the details of its execution. See Executable modules for more details on running modules.
For a de novo assembly process, the first module you will want to run is Assemblez, a script module that conveniently runs many other modules in a logical pipeline. Assemblez may take several days, or even weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your genome. See Assemblez for more details. Note that you do NOT want to run Assemble.
For an assisted assembly process, see Assisted assembly.
After running Assemblez, you will be concerned with improving your assembly.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller, who ranks fourth nationally in completion percentage and seventh nationally in passing efficiency, is one of 16 semifinalists for the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award.
Miller, who is 19-0 as a starting quarterback the last two years and 7-0 this season, is leading the Ohio State offensive attack to impressive national rankings:
• eighth in total offense (530.9 yards per game);
• eighth in rushing (301.1 yards per game);
• seventh in passing efficiency (171.2 rating);
• fifth in scoring (48.2 ppg);
• fifth in third-down conversion percentage (64-118; .542); and
• ninth in red zone offense (43-46; .935).
Individually, Miller has completed 72.5 percent of his passes (108 of 149), a total that would smash the school completion record of 65.3 percent set by Troy Smith during his Heisman Trophy-winning season of 2006. Miller's 175.87 efficiency rating is also well above the school single season record of 163.4 by Bobby Hoying in 1995.
The Huber Heights High School graduate has thrown 15 touchdown passes — second in the Big Ten — with only three interceptions, and he has also rushed for 410 yards and scored twice.
Three O'Brien finalists will be announced Nov. 25 and the winner will be announced Dec. 12.
Miller was a finalist for the O'Brien Award last season along with Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel and Kansas State's Collin Klein.

Insider Tip
- Bora Bora Pearl Beach Resort and Spa is pioneering an underwater coral nursery to propagate coral growth and encourage lagoon fish. This is underway directly beneath the overwater bungalows.

Huge tree trunks support a thatched roof, and the wall behind the reception desk shimmers with mother-of-pearl. Guests relax in scattered can armchairs with a cool drink and cold towel as staff checks them in. Bars and restaurants lie in elevated pavilions on either side, offering views over the lagoon. Natural materials are used throughout, and Polynesian artwork decorates the walls. The extensive grounds are landscaped with tropical plants and water-lily ponds, and a small waterfall splashes behind a freeform swimming pool.

Yet another burger-related dream has come true: Vans have just dropped this cheeseburger slip-on sneaker. The only problem is it's only available in boys sizes, rather than adult sizes. Boo! I live in hope that they'll come out in regular sizes for us grown up burger fans too. More pics after the jump...
Yup, love Vans, love cheeseburgers, LOVE THESE SNEAKERS!
While the Cheeseburger ($37 via shop.vans.com) caters for the boys, the girls have got some pretty tasty looking sneakers too. There's a really cute watermelon Authentic lace-up shoe but I'm loving this Banana Split slip-on design the best. Check out the spoon detail on the insole (two pics down). Tasty!
Vans, if you're reading - please release these sneakers in adult sizes. We like junk food just as much as the little ones do! More info at shop.vans.com

Does it feel like no matter how strict your diet is or how many times you go to the gym, you just can't seem to shed the pounds? It's time to stop trying to lose weight. Really.
If you're serious about wanting to transform your body and feel great you need to stop thinking about weight and start focusing on body composition. Real change needs a new approach.
Your total body weight. Thanks to the Tanita precision weighing mechanism, you are guaranteed an accurate weight measurement every time you step on. An accurate weight measurement will ensure an accurate body composition measurement.
A standardised ratio of weight to height, used as a general indicator of health.
Body Fat Percentage is the proportion of fat to the total body weight. Body Fat Mass is the actual weight of fat in your body.
Visceral fat is located deep in the core abdominal area, surrounding and protecting the vital organs.
Muscle mass includes the skeletal muscles, smooth muscles such as cardiac and digestive muscles and the water contained in these muscles. Muscles act as an engine in consuming energy.
Assesses muscle and body fat levels and rates the result as one of nine body types.
While your bone mass is unlikely to undergo noticeable changes in the short term, it's important to maintain healthy bones by having a balanced diet rich in calcium and by doing plenty of weight-bearing exercise.
You should track your bone mass over time and look for any long term changes.
The daily minimum level of energy or calories your body requires when at rest (including sleeping) in order to function effectively.
This is calculated by comparing your basal metabolic rate (BMR) to the BMR average of your chronological age group. If your metabolic age is higher than your actual age, it's an indication that you need to improve your metabolic rate. Increased exercise will build healthy muscle tissue, which in turn will improve your metabolic age. Stay on track by monitoring regularly.
Total Body Water is the total amount of fluid in the body expressed as a percentage of total weight.
With over 25 years of scientific and medical research, our BIA technology leads the way and is clinically proven to be the most accurate on the market. No one else can provide the precision, reliability and level of excellence that Tanita monitors offer
When it comes to health monitoring, Tanita is the first choice among experts. Sports coaches, health providers, scientists and global brands know they can trust Tanita to deliver the standard they require. We can do the same for you
We don't just measure. We work to empower everyone to change their health for the better whether that's individuals, sports teams or families. We also fund medical research projects worldwide that contribute to our understanding of how to lead a healthier and fitter life

1. Gender balance: Ottawa Linux Symposium: 09:56
I'm at the Ottawa Linux Symposium, a Linux event for hardcore low-level kernel geeks—of which there are roughly 500 for the opening plenary. This includes around ten women. I guess that's a good sign—I was almost afraid there'd be fewer!

2. So this is what it feels like to not be a geek: 23:47
The key thing I learned from the Ottawa Linux Symposium today is that I am not a low-level geek. I can probably be one if I cared, but I don't. I am slowly coming to terms with this idea, as the OLS is one of very few conferences that have actually made me feel ungeeky. So instead of sneaking into the sessions today, I went to the National Gallery instead.

It seems that Windows Home Server (PP2 and later) by default will create cover image for all videos under a . file
Video called:
Star Trek The Motion Picture.avi
Will have a thumbnail picture of:
.Star Trek The Motion Picture.avi.jpg
Would be great if we could put in auto supported. I know from reading the various sites that PS3 Media Server is getting very popular with the end users. (The farther from twonky the better!)

Colin Kaepernick is an entirely new Bay Area sports phenomenon in an entirely new open-source sports-media-fan atmosphere, and he's offering up entirely new situations, which we all are learning to deal with, including himself.
Let me emphasize that last part: We're all adjusting to this, INCLUDING KAEPERNICK HIMSELF.
So it seems the 49ers' high-profile and very active QB was photographed wearing -- aghast! -- a Miami Dolphins baseball cap recently, which of course went viral, and it seems that 49ers fans didn't take kindly to it and responded angrily directly to Kaepernick on various social media outlets and Kaepernick responded right back.
Not exactly the stuff of Johnny Unitas/Joe Montana/Norm Van Brocklin here.
By the way, I don't really take much of this seriously as a window into anybody's soul. You can say that Kaepernick is showing less-than-ideal judgment by wearing another team's logo, and that he should know that 49ers fans would not enjoy seeing anything like that.
But I go back to my original point: Kaepernick is part of a generation that often wears team caps as part of every-day fashion accessorizing. He could wear a Warriors cap, a Texas Rangers cap, a Giants cap, a UConn cap or whatever -- as long as the colors are right for that day's mood.
He's not making any other kind of statement, in my opinion.
Sometimes he even wears a 49ers cap. If you see his hat-dabbling as treason, and some hint that Kaepernick is less than loyal to the 49ers and wants to leave . . . you are reading WAY too much into this.
It's not a big deal, and the fact that Montana or Van Brocklin would never do such a thing is just irrelevant to this conversation, in my view.
1) Though I'm sure they didn't wear their rivals' colors often or ever, when Montana and Steve Young and Warren Moon and Terry Bradshaw and Bart Starr were active QBs, there was no Twitter or Instagram or cellphone cameras, so nobody knew what they were wearing when they went out during the offseason and nobody cared.
Play well. Wear what the hell you want off the field.
2) There is nothing Kaepernick has ever done to make anybody believe he isn't working as hard as he can for the 49ers.
I mean, can you come up with something? No.
3) Kaepernick's only real mistake was not realizing how silly and needy sports fans can be about their teams and their heroes. And then when he reacted to their anger, it only got most of them more angry, by the way.
4) He's new to this. It's not as if he was a media superstar in Nevada. He's about to start his first full NFL season as a starting QB. There are bound to be bumps along the way.
Kaepernick does attract the spotlight (and loves the spotlight, as the new ESPN body issue and the cover would suggest). He's hard to miss and he LIKES being hard to miss.
He already has been the subject of one incredibly dim-witted column criticizing his tattoos. And if it wasn't clear before now, he will be pursued by camera-holders and anything he wears or does will draw a reaction.
I think Kaepernick partly enjoys this; he likes most of the reactions.
I've said this before, I'll say it again: Kaepernick is the Bay Area's first post-media superstar; he simply doesn't need the old, traditional media (me, the Bay Area News Group as a whole, the Chronicle, Comcast, Fox, regular ESPN) to communicate whatever he wants to communicate to his fans, or to get more fans.
He just has to get out there, and watch people react.
But also: A lot of the reaction will be stupid.
Yeah, I know, Alex Smith never was like this. Peyton Manning isn't like this. But Kaepernick is a different generation of QB, fueled by an entirely different media culture (that isn't me), and I am not going to rail about that.
We just have to get used to it. Kaepernick does, too.

It's no secret that�The Bachelorette's�Chris Soules�was a front-runner to star on�The Bachelor. He's hot, successful, and left his season brokenhearted — all the makings for the perfect lead. But with another fan favorite�—�Arie�from Emily Maynard's season�— also in talks for the gig, host�Chris Harrison�says the decision came down to the wire.
So what gave the Iowa farmer the edge? "At the end of the day, Chris is everything the show is based on," Harrison tells TVGuide.com. "He's that diamond in the rough from middle America who, more than ever, needs the show to find his wife. It reminds me of�Aaron Buerge�in Missouri. He needed the show to expand his horizons. So, it takes us back to where the show began."
Bachelorette's Harrison: Andi and Josh Act Like They've Been Together for 10 Years Already
Although rumors have been swirling for weeks, especially after the "Men Tell All" special,��Harrison swears that nothing was official until this week. "There were rumors that it was confirmed, but the truth is until this week, everybody was wrong," he says. "It's not like we waited this long to hold on to this little nugget. We confirmed it [on�Good Morning America] two days after we could. But, of course, he's been the front-runner. That wasn't hard to figure out."
The Bachelorette�fan-favorite farmer Chris: I left heartbroken
While there are lots of Chris supporters, there are also those wondering if Soules is dynamic enough to lead the show. But Harrison says not to worry. "When you're one of 25, you get a very small glimpse," he says. "Sean Lowe�is the best example. He was not that popular on Emily's season. He wasn't the hero that he was when he was�The Bachelor. But we knew Sean was a star and that he had a great sense of humor and was smart. It's the same thing with Chris. He's very smart, articulate and he's professional. Like�Andi, he'll approach 'the job' the same way.
Page 2 of 2 - "I don't know if we would've had that same attitude with anybody else at the top of our list," Harrison continues. "He's also sincere and I know he's looking for love. If there was ever guy we'd say will walk away with someone, it's Chris. So, for those who are worried, you just haven't seen what you'll see during the show."
Do you think Chris will make a good Bachelor? Weigh in below! Plus: Check back for Harrison's thoughts on Bachelor in Paradise.�

Siebel Open UI on Full Throttle with Uma Welingkar: Free, Shared Resources
By Ultan O'Broin Oracle UX-Oracle Paas4SaaS-Oracle on Mar 17, 2013
By Misha Vaughan, Oracle Applications User Experience
The Siebel team has been hard at work delivering a platform for Siebel customers to tailor their end users' applications experience. To this end, the team's just posted a bunch of super-helpful training documents, for free, for any Siebel Tools user.
Alexander Hansal of the Siebel Essentials blog did a lovely job of laying out the motivations (user experience, simplicity, and usability) behind Siebel Open UI. But this post is about the other story, the tools story. A good tools story on UX is always near and dear to my heart, so I talked with Uma Welingkar, Senior Director of Siebel Product Management, to find out what's behind the release of the content.
Misha Vaughan: Why did you decide to make this Siebel content available?
Uma Welingkar: Just to give background, we put these TOIs out for internal use. We realized that we had a lot of customers clamoring for this additional information, to get started with Open UI. So we put these out on Oracle University (OU). The TOIs are not complete, but there is enough information to get you started installing, configuring, and making little changes.
In Open UI, we changed the framework from a compile time to a run time model. It allows customers to re-skin the UI on top of Siebel. The questions we got internally were the same questions customers were asking, because they wanted to go deeper than what we had in our documentation. So we decided to pull some of the information together. We took our own product management and engineering content, it's not beautiful, but it's great for our customers to pick up and get started with. We've seen an Open UI forum on LinkedIn where partners and customers are sharing together.
We talk about the technical aspects, as well as some insight into how to make the changes. For example, how to make changes around the UI controls, how to build mobile applications, and about style sheets, as well. We realized the first thing they needed to do was install the innovation pack. We decided to put it all together, the steps of installing the fix pack, and then next was a document on the specific function of the UI. We have seen a huge uptake of this, 400 hits a week right now, for each piece of collateral. We are seeing a constant uptake on these pieces. These are free presentations hosted through OU, as well as the recording of the presentation. They're self-study modules.
MV: There is an Open UI Functional Overview presentation available. What kind of detail should folks expect to see if they dip into this?
UW: This presentation talks about the functionality that was changed, for example:
- List of values.
- How the description field behaves in Open UI compared with the High Interactivity (HI) UI.
- How smart script behaves.
- The changes that we did to the call telephony interface (CTI) toolbar.
MV: There is also an Open UI Deployment and Architecture Overview presentation. Can you give us a preview of what's in this?
UW: We talk about what has changed in the UI framework: How does it work? How does it render? What changes you have to make. How they work together, the High Interactivity UI (ActiveX) and Open UI? What were the underlying framework changes? There are some slides specifically on the architecture before and after, and how the changes to the architecture help our customers.
Open UI's simplification and look and feel is optimized for user interaction across different browsers, and is enabled for tailoring to very high degree by customers and integrators.
MV: There is a presentation on Siebel mobile applications functionality. Can you tell me more about this one?
UW: We have a new item on our Siebel price list. The new Siebel mobile application covers sales, service, consumer goods, and pharma. So, the functional TOI covers what is part of the product and the different processes that are enabled as well as how to configure additional views.
We have built out-of-the box views for running on the mobile applications. It will also cover how you extend it, for fields or views, and build functionality that users are looking for. It's very similar to configuring a Siebel application on a desktop; it gives you all those pieces as well.
MV: What about the Siebel Open UI Calendar Functional Overview presentation?
UW: The Siebel calendar has been revamped with the Open UI. We have built a lot more utility around the calendar options. It covers both functionally what is available in the product now, as well as what can be done to configure it.
Calendar has been revamped with Siebel Open UI. An event driven UX, legends, and great locale customizations and user preference settings are available.
MV: How are customers responding to Open UI?
UW: A lot of customers across the different areas are starting to use Open UI in the U.S. and APAC. They have taken 188.8.131.52, to run both HI and Open UI at the same time. A lot of their production users can be on HI, and then they can move a subset of users to Open UI.
Within the first week, we had 1,000 downloads of the product when we put the patch up for Open UI. There has been a lot of anticipation around this.
MV: Can you talk about your enterprise applications history?
UW: I am originally from the Siebel acquisition. I was at Siebel in 1997; I grew up with Siebel. I have been with the product since Release 3.0. The one thing that I have seen is a lot of customers who have grown with us as well. Almost every customer that I talk to is so excited about the new UI. It's gratifying to be able to hear that, especially being with the product for so long.

Could the reign of the cupcake be waning at last? Suddenly, it's all about the pie.
Pies of all sizes are popping up at wedding receptions, aboard food trucks and in pie-centric cafes from coast to coast. And cherry and banana cream have been joined by green chiles, elderflower liqueur infusions and lollipop sticks -- although not, we're happy to say, all at once.
"I think honestly, it's the tip of the iceberg," says Andrew Freeman, the San Francisco-based restaurant consultant who first dubbed 2011 "The Year of Pie."
Those who frequent classic pie-friendly places, like the Buttercup Grill in Walnut Creek, Concord and Oakland, or any Marie Callender's anywhere, may laugh. They've been enjoying their apple and berry pies for years. But there's a new movement afoot, and it involves perfectly flaky crust and sweet and savory fillings.
These days you can get your cupcake-sized pies delivered by bicycle if you live in the right San Francisco neighborhood, or can convince Natalie Galatzer of Bike Basket Pies to schedule a rendezvous because you can't live without her apple-cheddar, shaker orange or sweet potato-chard mini-pies.
Swing by Trevor Logan's Chile Pie and Ice Cream in San Francisco, and you can get your pie in normal form, albeit layered with roasted green chiles and apples in a cheddar crust -- or in milkshake form, frapped with vanilla ice cream and milk.
And if you're attending a casual outdoor wedding in the Bay Area these days, chances are good that the towering wedding cake has been supplanted by a pie buffet.
None of that surprises Shira Bocar, the co-author of Martha Stewart's new "Pies & Tarts" cookbook (Clarkson Potter, 352 pp., $24.99). Pies have always been a popular topic among readers of Martha Stewart Living, Bocar says via email, but something has changed.
"Pies are now turning up on menus of top restaurants," she says. "There is a boom in pie-centric shops. They are the dessert stars at more and more dinner parties."
In short, pie seems to have hit a tipping point similar to the one that propelled the lowly cupcake to pastry superstardom. Freeman was working with New York City's Magnolia Bakery, the patisserie generally credited with launching the cupcake trend, back when that craze took hold. He knows a trend, he says, when he sees it.
"What I was seeing was all of a sudden this resurgence of pie," Freeman says. "We started to hear a lot about it. My gosh, there's more pie on menus than I remember. Then Oprah did a story on chicken pie. We started to dig in and see the (savory) pies, mini pies, mail order pies, fried pies, happy hours."
Cupcakes aren't going away, but even Magnolia has added pies to its menu. And it's only a matter of time, he says, before the Bay Area discovers what devotees in Manhattan and Austin, Texas, already have: pie happy hours.
The evidence isn't just anecdotal. The numbers back up Freeman's trend theory. Pie devotees ate 722 million slices at restaurants last year, 12 million more than in 2009, according to NPD Group, a market research outfit. And that doesn't even count the more unusual entries -- the tiny pies baked atop lollipop sticks that have taken Seattle by storm, or the 4-inch, heart-shaped Sweetie Pies that have smitten the crowds who frequent San Francisco's SusieCakes.
Susan Sarich's SusieCakes, which has branches in San Francisco, Greenbrae and Los Angeles (and will expand into the South and East bays within the year), has always done a brisk business in cupcakes. But the popularity of pie took even Sarich by surprise.
"I'm from Chicago, so it's completely normal for me to want pies on a continual basis," Sarich says. "I initially thought the West Coast wasn't so into pies. But the Sweetie Pies -- they're a gourmet Pop-Tart but with real fruit filling and no corn syrup -- have been my single fastest selling item."
And cupcakes, she says, are partly to thank.
"I think what cupcakes did was they opened up the whole market," she says. "Now it's ingrained in our culture that a bakery is the place to go to get desserts. They've opened the gateway for other desserts."
That extends to weddings, too.
"A lot of brides are doing pie buffets or individual pies at each place setting," Sarich says, "especially for outdoor weddings in Napa and Sonoma. That's definitely a trend."
As for what's inside those pies, pecan and pumpkin are here to stay. But 21st century pies offer new twists too -- and not just of the gluten-free and vegan-friendly variety. Today's pies seem to be inspired by everything from farmers markets to the cocktail bar.
Stewart and Bocar's new cookbook, for example, features a cocktail-inspired elderflower liqueur-flavored whipped cream, and an entire chapter -- Bocar's favorite -- is devoted to tiny tarts and hand pies, which can be eaten without a fork. But there's one overriding theme to the book.
"Overall, I think 21st century pies are anchored by the ingredients," Bocar says. "Canned pie filling will no longer cut it in 2011. People want the best-quality ingredients, from the butter to the local strawberries, for their pies. And the end product will reflect that attention to detail."

Twenty dollars?

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A bill that would have allowed more gambling at Michigan race tracks has died without Gov. Rick Snyder's signature.
Snyder effectively vetoed House Bill 5546 by taking no action. It would have added slot machine-like games at struggling horse tracks in Hazel Park, Mount Pleasant, Swartz Creek and Northville.
Spokesman Caleb Buhs says the bill wasn't signed because it clashes with the state Constitution and is probably illegal. A 2004 amendment requires voter approval for new gambling.
The governor also took no action on a bill that would have given landlords more authority to remove the belongings of a deceased tenant. State Rep. Margaret O'Brien of Portage tells The Detroit News that a change in law is necessary because landlords are forced to go through a long court process.

By ROB POWERS
For the Monitor
(Published in print: Friday, June 21, 2013)
This week, the Monitor ran an article about a recent report issued by the advocacy group the National Council on Teacher Quality ("Report: Programs aren't preparing teachers," Monitor, June 19). The report ranked college teacher preparation programs based on the NCTQ's own set of standards and gave ratings ranging from zero to five stars. The report also labeled some programs with a "consumer advisory" because they felt that prospective students and school districts should be aware that those schools do not meet the minimum criteria of the NCTQ's study.
The study itself is rather contentious. Many experts, such as Stanford University's Linda-Darling Hammond and Diane Ravitch from New York University, have derided the methodology of the report.
These critics point to the fact NCTQ did not actually visit most of these schools, and much of their work was based on loosely gathered documents that were easily available online or through simple information requests.
There was little actual follow-up with these programs, and the vast majority of schools are not ranked because they did not even participate.
Furthermore, the study was co-produced by U.S. News & World Report, which makes a profit off of ranking schools and colleges. Even a scan of the NCTQ's advisory board will show many members who come from businesses and organizations with serious corporate interests in education.
What was most discouraging to me was the fact that Plymouth State University, my alma mater, was given one of these arbitrary "consumer advisory" labels in the report. While I cannot speak to the many other schools in this publication, I can say that this particular rating is absurd.
Plymouth State University has been preparing teachers since 1871, a tradition that few schools can match. The institution is fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education, which holds incredibly high standards for its member schools. In fact, PSU has held continuous accreditation since 1954, when it was a member of the first cohort of schools to receive such status.
Beyond ratings and labels, I can say without a doubt that I have been a successful social studies teacher because I received a top-notch education at Plymouth State. When I entered the classroom, I was completely prepared for all the challenges I faced because I took many practical courses and participated in hundreds of hours of supervised pre-service practicum work at PSU.
My professors were highly respected experts in the field of education and they work tirelessly with practicing teachers and administrators to make sure that what we learned in our program was directly addressing the ever-changing needs of our K-12 students.
I became a content expert through my history courses at PSU, and I received the ETS Recognition of Excellence award for scoring in the top 15 percent nationally on the Praxis II certification test. I also received the Plymouth County Educators Association "Rookie of the Year" award in 2008 for my success as a first-year teacher.
My employers were immediately impressed with what I had to show for my time at Plymouth State, and my students have been successful because I learned how to adapt and grow as an educator at PSU.
Fortunately, schools and districts throughout New England know firsthand that Plymouth State and these other institutions have a proven track record of producing well-prepared teachers.
New Hampshire should be proud of the institution it supports, and I applaud New Hampshire Education Commissioner Dr. Virginia Barry for not joining her regional peers in endorsing such a superficial report.
Few will contest that there are bad programs out there, or that we must always be improving our practice, but most will agree that schools like Plymouth State University empower teachers to help our students succeed from day one.
(Rob Powers is a high school social studies teacher at Apponequet Regional High School in Lakeville, Mass., and a 2007 graduate of Plymouth State University.)

Council votes not to employ themselves one day a week APRIL 15,1981 An eleventh hour move by Louis Adams at the March 27th regular Council meeting caused the rescinding of a February 26 motion authorizing each councilman to work one day a week to prepare for meetings and keep up with the developments in Indian Country. The Arlee councilman, an outspoken opponent of the one-day-a-week plan from the start, was opposed only by Joe McDonald, Ronan. (Councilmen Swaney, Kenmille and E.W. Morigeau were absent.) Thanks to an on-the-ball recording secretary, we needn't go into whatever else happened during that meeting because Ms. Culpepper beat us to the punchline by providing the meeting's minutes extraordinarily ahead of the usual schedule (beginning on page 19).

The next item on the tribal college's ever-increasing expansion agenda is the setting up of a T.V. station. Still on the back burner pending the mundane matter of money, the Tribes have applied to the FCC (which is the Federal Communications Commission, and not the Flathead Culture Committee) for permission to operate a low-frequency T.V. station on the rez. Chances are that our location on the tube will be UHF channel 33. Plans call for the station to broadcast PBS programs (high-class educational shows) and actual courses from SKCC. The Tribes stand a pretty fair chance of getting FCC approval, despite hundreds of competing applications, because Pichette schedules district meeting St. Ignatius Councilman Noel Pitchette announces that he's calling a district meeting for April 25 at the St. Ignatius Community Center, beginning at ten in the morning. He hopes to see a lot of tribal citizens there. the government likes minorities to have a chance at these special channels. The project's price tag is floating around the $100,000 mark, most of which is expected to come from grants. The translator will be linked to Radio Kerr's proposed FM tower. If all goes well and the application is approved this summer, reservation residents could sign up for SKCC's fall quarter classes and start getting smart without having to leave home.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. - The father of a suspect in the fatal shooting of two California police officers said Wednesday his son was a ticking time bomb who had contempt for police and the justice system.
Jeremy Goulet, a 35-year-old coffee shop worker, had numerous run-ins with the law and swore he would never go back to jail, Ronald Goulet told The Associated Press. He said he never thought his son would turn to such violence.
Santa Cruz police Sgt. Loran Butch Baker and Detective Elizabeth Butler were shot and killed Tuesday outside Jeremy Goulet's home, where they had gone to question him regarding a report that he made inappropriate sexual advances toward a co-worker at her home.
Goulet, who was fired from his job at Kind Grind coffee shop on Saturday, was killed a short time later in a shootout with police.
A manager at the coffee shop said no one would speak to the media at this point.
The shootout occurred about 60 miles south of San Francisco in the town with world-class surf spots, historic downtown with bookstores and coffee shops, and the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Its boardwalk is a major summer draw for tourists hoping to escape inland heat or enjoy a classic California experience.
Lately, the city of 60,000 people had seen a spike in assaults that community leaders had planned to address Tuesday during a downtown rally that was cancelled along with a City Council meeting by teary-eyed leaders after they learned of the deaths.
"There aren't words to describe this horrific tragedy," said Police Chief Kevin Vogel.
The mid-afternoon shooting about a mile from the boardwalk prompted the lockdown of two schools and an automated police call to nearby residents, warning them to stay locked inside. The ordinarily quiet neighborhood echoed with a brief barrage of gunfire that killed the suspect about a half-hour after the officers were shot.
A store clerk a few buildings from the shooting said the shootout was terrifying.
"We ducked. We have big desks so under the desks we went," said the clerk, who spoke on condition of anonymity and asked that her store not be identified because she feared for her safety.
In May 2008, Goulet was convicted in Portland, Ore., of peeping on a 22-year-old woman who was showering in her condominium, and of carrying a concealed weapon, according to The Oregonian newspaper.
The elder Goulet said his son constantly undermined any success he had in the military or college due to an insatiable desire to peep in the windows of women showering or getting dressed.
"He's got one problem, peeping in windows," his father said in a halting emotional voice. "I asked him, 'Why don't you just go to a strip club?' He said he wants a good girl that doesn't know she's being spied on, and said he couldn't stop doing it."
Jeffery Goulet, the suspect's twin brother, released a statement Wednesday saying his family was deeply saddened by the events in Santa Cruz.
"We would also like to extend our deepest sympathies to the families of Sgt. Loran Baker and Detective Elizabeth Butler," it said.
