In a special two-part video released today and available here, New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) president and CEO Chris Kay and two industry experts discuss the definitive steps being taken to enhance equine safety and ensure the integrity of racing in New York.
Moderated by NYRA racing analyst and champion jockey Richard Migliore, Part 1 of the 15-minute program focuses on the joint efforts of NYRA and the New York State Gaming Commission to develop a culture of safety at Belmont Park, Aqueduct Racetrack, and Saratoga Race Course. Kay and NYS Equine Medical Director Dr. Scott Palmer, who chaired the New York State Task Force on Racehorse Health and Safety, cite the Task Force recommendations that have been put into place by the Gaming Commission and NYRA, resulting in a significant reduction in racing fatalities over the past 16 months. In 2012, racing fatalities were 2.2 per 1,000 starts, and 2013, they fell to 1.3 per 1,000 starts. With the increased level of risk management and the standardization of pre-race exam and veterinary protocols, so far this year, says Palmer, the fatality rate is the lowest it has ever been.
Kay also credits a significant part of the increase in safety to the Racing Committee and the Equine and Jockey Safety Committee of NYRA's new Board of Directors; NYRA's new executive talent, including Martin Panza, the senior vice-president of racing operations who works closely with Palmer and NYRA Chief Examining Veterinarian Dr. Anthony Verderosa, as well as NYRA Vice President of Facilities & Racing Surfaces Glen Kozak, who ensures the association's three tracks are at the highest level of safety.
As the injury rate has fallen, Kay says, standards have risen. In Part 2, Kay and NYRA Safety Steward Hugh Gallagher examine his role on the backstretch of the racetracks as he trains and supervises NYRA's security personnel in overseeing integrity missives such as the "Horse Watch" detail and monitoring the activities of private veterinarians.
"I think my presence on the backstretch will create questions, and I am there as a source of information," says Gallagher. "I also will be a link to the stewards as they do their job during racing."
All these steps, explains Kay, are designed to ensure that guests can have confidence in NYRA and the sport of horse racing.
"This is an unprecedented time at NYRA as we, along with the governor and Gaming Commission, have put together a team of Board Members, NYRA and State employees, racing officials and veterinarians whose primary mission it is to protect out horses and jockeys, and ensure the integrity of New York racing," says Kay. "The changes we have made together have proven to be the right formula to achieve that goal."

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colorado - Snowpack in river basins throughout western Colorado is well below average for Jan. 9, but the driest conditions are in the headwaters of the Roaring Fork, Fryingpan and Eagle rivers.
"There are a few sites in the Roaring Fork, Eagle and Gunnison basins that are at near record lows for this time of the year," said Ashley Nielson, hydrologist with NOAA's Colorado River Basin Forecast Center in Salt Lake City, in a teleconference held Tuesday.
Remote snowpack telemetry sites in the upper Fryingpan basin and on Independence Pass show the worst readings. Nast Lake, at 8,700 feet in the upper Fryingpan, has just 11 inches of snow holding 1.1 inches of water, just 30 percent of normal for Jan. 9.
The Kiln telemetry site, also in the Fryingpan basin, at 9,600 feet has 16 inches of snow holding 2.5 inches of water, just 42 percent of normal.
And the Independence Pass telemetry site at 10,600 feet has all of 19 inches of snow holding 3.2 inches of water, just 39 percent of normal.
The deepest snow in the whole Roaring Fork River basin is at Schofield Pass above Marble. Even there, the remote telemetry equipment recorded 39 inches of snow holding 10.3 inches of water, 66 percent of average.
Weather-watchers warn that it is still early in the season, and Colorado historically captures most of its snowfall from February through April.
But Colorado entered this winter with a big disadvantage due to the extreme drought conditions that have prevailed over the past year, Nielson said.
NOAA scientists modeled soil moisture conditions throughout the intermountain West, comparing conditions in December 2011 and December 2012.
"Last December, the soil moisture was in good shape, and everything was above average because we were coming off a good year," Nielson said. "This year, it's much below average, below 50 percent of normal in a lot of areas, because we are coming off a really dry year.
"The snowpack is similar to last year's, but this is the big difference. We have very dry soil conditions right now," she said.
Snowstorms that swept across the state in December pushed Colorado's snowpack up from very low levels, said Phyllis Ann Philipps, state conservationist for the U.S. Natural Resources Conservation Service.
"Conditions could have been much worse if we had not received the moisture we did in December," Philipps said.
The much-needed snowfall in December boosted the statewide average snowpack from just 36 percent on Dec. 1 to 70 percent of average by Jan. 1.
She noted that Colorado's Jan. 1 snowpack was the fourth lowest in the last 32 years.
Forecasters are now looking to another storm system expected to roll into western Colorado later today, bringing snowfall tonight through Friday night and pushing temperatures downward over the weekend.
It's another welcome amount of precipitation, Nielson said.
"It will help the snowpack, but it's not going to bring it back to average," she said.

TRUCKEE - The Truckee-Donner Recreation & Park District has some tough decisions to make regarding the future of aquatics and performing arts offerings within the community after last month's defeat of Measure J.More than 80 residents turned out to the district's Thursday evening meeting, where Bob French, chair of the Performing Arts Commission, and Dan Kates, chair of the Truckee Aquatic Coalition, presented the board with several options on how to spend the nearly $7 million in excess funds from the construction of the new recreation center in 2009."We're not here to advocate any particular solution for you," French said. "We're here instead to present you with what the options are."
Kates and French presented six options to the board, listing pros and cons of each:• Build the performing arts center. Pros: Provides a professional performance venue for the community, offers an opportunity for diversified performing arts programming and economic benefits in the amount of $1.73 million annually. Cons: No aquatic center as the Truckee High School pool continues to age and the loss of $419,000 in annual aquatic economic benefits.• Build the aquatic center. Pros: Provides a new swimming facility that can accommodate diverse programming, compliments the new recreation center by providing locker rooms and offers $419,000 in annual revenue. Cons: No performing arts center and the loss of $1.73 million in revenue. • Build an aquatic center and apply a "Band-aid" for the existing Community Arts Center's auditorium. Pros: The aquatic center gets built, $419,000 in annual revenue and a "marginal" increase in the use of the auditorium through mostly "cosmetic" upgrades. Cons: "Significant costs" totaling $1 million for improvements, seating reduction due to stage expansion and still no professional performance venue.• Build a performing arts center and apply a Band-aid for the high school pool. Pros: The performing arts center gets built and a swim facility would exist, but for an unknown period of time. Cons: "High" cost of $400,000 to $500,000 to fix the pool with possible additional unknown costs, still limited aquatic programming and no locker room for the new recreation center. • Expand the footprints of both the high school pool and the Community Arts Center. Pros: A potential "modest" increase in programming at each facility. Cons: School district does "not have interest" in a footprint expansion, and the arts center has a projected expense of $3.74 million, while also being located in a 100-year flood plain.• Build both new facilities in a reduced form at the new recreation center. Pros: Provides both facilities and "probable" revenue, but an unknown amount. Cons: Over budget, since construction of both facilities is estimated from $9.1 million to $9.8 million, with each facility having similar limitations as the existing venues.Board member Peter Werbel mentioned a seventh option: Not building either facility."The board can decide to build neither, because we're short $800,000 (for each project)," he said.Of the district's original $7 million in excess construction funds, approximately $400,000 has been spent on facility designs, consultants and public surveys, said district General Manager Steve Randall. The current construction cost estimate is $7.25 million for the aquatic center and $7.3 million for the performing arts center, not including contingency funds."I think in my mind and I think in Dan's mind - based upon our discussions - none of these are real attractive," French said. "The ones that seem to make the most sense here are the first two (options), so (it is) an either/or type of analysis that I think we're at."
Twenty-two attendees voiced opinion on the options, many supporting either the construction of the aquatic center or the performing arts center."I think the pool here is a lifeline," said Truckee resident Marie Desmond. "... It's used by community members who are physically handicapped, community members who are injured. It's used by the elderly for water aerobics. It's used to teach kids swim lessons who would not otherwise get swim lessons anywhere else, and we live in a community where there's water surrounding us. It's a safety issue."Diane Handzel, executive director of Get in the Act! Arts in Action, pointed out there are several merits to building the performing arts center."Participants may not go on to be a Broadway star or may not create a masterpiece, but they gain lifelong learning skills: critical thinking, problem solving, learning how to express themselves and (how to) communicate effectively," she said. Lynne Larson, chair of the group that opposed Measure J during the election, Truckee Citizens for Responsible Government, said she is in favor of the Band-aid approach for the arts center."During that campaign (Measure J) the folks that wanted the performing arts center wanted a local theater centered in the heart of Truckee that would provide a venue for folks like InnerRhythms, community chorus, children's theater, adult theater, Arts For the Schools, and the list just goes on," she said. "Nobody that I've talked to - and that runs about a 1,000 people and I'm sure there were others who felt differently - nobody said they wanted an elaborate facility at the new recreation center designed to bring in big names."I believe with some creativity and cooperation, the old rec center can and should be upgraded to serve the needs of our current local performing groups." Truckee resident Ed Larson recommended not doing the Band-aid approach."I think that would be a very poor decision because we wouldn't end up winning anything," he said. A handful of others offered an idea of using a portion of the leftover funds to complete the Truckee River Legacy Trail. "I don't envy your position," said Truckee resident Rich Valentine. "I think as we look at the options, it's an either/or (situation). I think the only other factor that has to be included is where the community stands, and that is always a difficult task to arrive at."
The board could make its decision as early as next month; in the meantime, board member Janet Brady urges residents to provide the board more input."... The more input we can have over the next month, that's what we need most importantly because this is a really, really hard decision," she said.As of last Thursday, the board has received more than 20 letters on the issue."I'm going to weigh your opinions," said board member Kevin Murphy. "They all matter one way or another, and I'll try to make the decision that'll best fit the town of Truckee."

About Us > Newsroom > National Jewish Health Launches We Never Say Never® Campaign
National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado, named by U.S. News & World Report as the #1 respiratory hospital in the U.S., is launching a new campaign created by DIGO Brands in New York City.
"'We never say never' captures the spirit behind the extraordinary commitment and expertise that National Jewish Health brings to the treatment of people with respiratory, cardiovascular, immune and related disorders," says Mark DiMassimo, DIGO CEO and Chief Creative Officer. "'We never say never' is the reason so many things that were once impossible are now routine, and it's the reason that the intractable, the untreatable, the incurable and the unmanageable are routinely turned around at this leading academic medical center."
The 111-year-old institution is known worldwide for treatment of the most challenging patients and for groundbreaking medical research. Its renowned faculty integrate the latest scientific discoveries with a team approach to deliver unsurpassed medical care.
Michael Salem, M.D., President and CEO of National Jewish Health, says, "When I heard the line 'We never say never,' I realized instantly that these four words describe what differentiates National Jewish Health. Patients hear a lot of 'never' out there. At National Jewish Health, we are committed to finding solutions where others have not. It's enormously satisfying to know that we're giving patients hope and life."
National Jewish Health assigned the account to DIGO in July 2010 after a nationwide search. The new campaign encompasses television, radio, digital, newspaper, magazines and out of home. Media will run nationally.
"We have always been a national institution," adds Salem. "Patients from around the country with respiratory, cardiovascular, immune and related diseases have come to Denver and National Jewish Health for 111 years."
National Jewish Health is known worldwide for treatment of patients with respiratory, cardiac, immune and related disorders, and for groundbreaking medical research. Founded in 1899 as a nonprofit hospital, National Jewish Health remains the only facility in the world dedicated exclusively to these disorders. Since 1998, U.S. News & World Report has ranked National Jewish Health the #1 pulmonology hospital in the nation.
DIGO Brands, founded in 1996 by Mark DiMassimo, is a brand-driven growth network. Our companies work together seamlessly to help ambitious organizations grow. DIGO Brands have partnered with visionary leaders on many of the extraordinary growth successes of the past two decades. These include Comcast, Crunch Fitness, JetBlue, National Jewish Health, Island, ESPN, HBO, Citi, Gateway, McKinsey, thinkorswim and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
DIGO Brands includes DiMassimo Goldstein, a leading full-service brand, advertising, direct and digital agency; PROOF accountable media planning and buying; DIGO/Ericho public relations and social marketing, brand-driven content, entertainment and digital products; and the Tappening and Offlining movements.

Build Your Dreams with 'Made in China' BYD
By Ajay Viswanathan, Jaseem Pookandy, Luca Rassenti, Pragya Uprety, Tsu-Yu Hsia and Vivek Mehta
Shenzhen: Li is driving a group of passengers in his shiny new BYD E6 to the Bao'an International airport. Heavy traffic has depleted his E6 of all the charge and, to his dismay, he cannot find a single charging station in the 10-mile stretch to the airport. Li soon realizes he will face this problem each day, his business being severely impacted by the lack of infrastructure in his city. He has paid a steep price for an electric vehicle (EV) but now regrets the investment.
San Francisco: Micheal, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur is evaluating options for his new "green car" purchase. At the top on his list is the Prius, but he also is contemplating waiting a little longer for new entrants from Nissan and the new Chinese auto giant, BYD. He is slightly skeptical due to the negative perception in the United States about Chinese automobile manufacturing and BYD's problems and chooses the Prius hybrid, which works out just fine for the long weekend trips with his girlfriend.
These scenarios sum up the problems for BYD and the electric vehicle (EV) industry at large. While it seems as though the technology is promising, China is not ready for it. China's income levels and infrastructure cannot yet support the paradigm shift to EVs at this point in time. While the west is much more ready for the shift to EVs, it seems as though BYD is not prepared for the quality and safety demands Western markets will impose. The negative perception of "Made in China" will not be changed overnight.

Tax Freedom Day
Working longer to pay more taxes
April 16, 2013
Now that you have completed your federal income tax return—and you have, we hope, because it was due to be filed yesterday—you have a few moments to reflect on taxes in general....
In 2001, our federal government spent $1.9 trillion while revenue was nearly identical at $1.9 trillion. Since then, revenue has reached record levels 3 different years and is project to reach $2.7 trillion dollars in 2013. We don't have a revenue problem. In that same time period, expenditures have grown by ~ 100% with 2013 spending projected at $3.8 trillion even after the sequester. In the last 5 years alone, expenditures have grown by more than a trillion dollars. Our problem is spending. The simple truth is that those who say we need to tax more don't know what they are talking about. We need to drastically reduce spending NOW if this nation is to survive.

Two jury trials concluded this week in Pottawatomie County District Court, with one ending in a mistrial for a McLoud man while an Okemah man was convicted of driving under the influence of alcohol.
A jury returned a guilty verdict in the trial for Gary Lamont Wilson, 43, on a single felony count of DUI.
Wilson was accused, on or about March 5, 2011, of driving a 1998 Chevrolet pickup at SH 9 and U.S. 177 while under the influence of intoxicating liquor. Assistant District Attorney Adam Panter presented the state's evidence at trial.
Case records show Wilson represented himself and also testified as part of his defense. After deliberations, the jury found him guilty and set punishment at three years in prison with the Department of Corrections. Wilson is currently jailed at the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center.
Another jury trial ended with a mistrial.
Virgil Ray Gibson Jr., 39, McLoud, stood trial on felony charges of burglary in the first degree, domestic assault and battery by strangulation, as well as a misdemeanor of domestic assault in the presence of a minor.
According to information filed with the charges, Gibson is accused of breaking into a McLoud home reportedly occupied by his girlfriend on Nov. 24, 2011. He is also accused of assaulting her by pulling her hair and throwing her around the home, and allegedly attempting to strangle the girlfriend's child, charges read.
In that case, a jury began hearing testimony from witnesses presented by Assistant District Attorney Shelly Levisay.
Following some testimony, Defense Attorney Karen Byars asked for a mistrial, which was granted by the judge.
A retrial is expected at a later date.

Just one day to celebrate how amazing Mum is? It's hardly enough. The woman who has put her life into celebrating your existence, molding you, guiding you and helping you through every one of life's trials from first steps to first kisses and all the way to first mortgages deserves much more than a day… the woman deserves a medal!
You've never been easy and yet somehow she has loved you through it all. The few responsibilities on your side of this relationship include showering her with gifts on Mother's Day. Something a grateful child like you surely planned for weeks ago…
Pardon me, what was that? Oh, I see. You haven't found anything for Mum yet… True, finding a gift that embodies the miracle that is your mother can be difficult. But it doesn't have to be. We've got a list of retailers that is so unique you are certain to find a treasure for your beloved Mum (and these gifts will not only make Mummy happy but will help to make a difference in the world too). Now that's how she raised you. Well done!
Liberty of London knows that a little luxury goes a long way. This sentiment is reflected in their collection of stylish gifts that sing classic femininity. Pamper Mum with a beauty set or choose from a fabulous fragrance selection. Perhaps choose something from a range of gifts, from iconic silk scarves, candles and stunning leather accessories to eye-catching stationary sets, journals or flowers.
What – too many choices? The Liberty Gift Coin could be the perfect solution, a minted coin redeemable on any item in the Liberty store so she can choose for herself from a vast array of treats.
This store is marvelous! Known not only for their exquisite designs, but also for the positive social impact every sale inspires. Every beautiful garment that People Tree makes is connected to an equally beautiful change happening somewhere in the world. They provide you with exclusive fashions while, at the same time, improving the lives and environment of artisans and farmers in developing countries who work to produce it. It's Fair Trade throughout.
Mum's going to love hearing that her gift helped support socially responsible trade, as well as knowing that a percentage of her gift purchase went to her favorite nonprofit group. This may even upgrade you to favorite-child status!
Looking for something truly unique? NOVICA is calling. At the deepest essence of their philosophy, they are committed to making the world a smaller place. They want you to feel an attachment to the product you buy and to know who created it. They give artists and artisans around the world a global platform to express their true artistic talents while providing you with access to extraordinary, hard-to-find items at great values that only the Internet infrastructure can allow.
The beauty and excellence that each item exudes, along with a story that can be traced back to the hands of its creator, will make your Mum's day – quite grand indeed!
Know a fashionista mum-to-be? You'll find that the art of maternity apparel takes center stage at A Pea in the Pod. Gift her from a selection of maternity clothes from all her favorite designers – Lilly Pulitzer, Splendid, Velvet, Vince and more. Choose from trendy maternity blouses to classic maternity skirts and knickers with both belly elastic and a whole lotta Va-Va-Voom!
Having had a baby is one thing that unifies all mothers everywhere. No Mother wants her baby to go without basic necessities that could give her child a chance at life. Your Mum is empathetic to how scary it can be when trying to provide all the things that will keep a beloved baby alive and thriving. She will adore a gift that supports children in need around the world through purchases made from the UNICEF store. UNICEF's sales all go towards providing essential vitamins, vaccines and insecticide to hundreds of thousands of children each year. Oh, and did I mention that their store is full of hand crafted items of impeccable taste and beauty?
Treat Mum to a cozy night with the fire going, a nice cup of tea and her favorite BBC programme. Find all her fav hits at one convenient store! Plus you can preorder items and be the first to own hot-off-the-press DVD's.
We all know everything you need – can be found at Marks and Sparks. It is truly the one stop shop! Of course you'll find something for Mum and probably a few things for yourself as well… With the convenience of online shopping do it all from the comfort of your own home.
One of my favorites designers… Ted Baker does Mod so well! Simple yet classic designs are sophisticated and sharp while maintaining a Rock N' Roll edge. If your wife juggles motherhood and a full time job go ahead and get her something so chic she can forget, for a moment, the stressful balancing act that is her life. Let her indulge a bit in fashion therapy – sometimes it makes all the difference in the world…
Mum's got a green thumb? Get her all geared up for Spring planting. Flowers, veggies, tools, composters and clever gift packages will quite certainly make her day.
Or maybe you just want to stick to the classics – every Mother LOVES flowers. You simply can't go wrong with a gorgeous bouquet. You also can't go wrong with free shipping on Mother's Day weekend! Whether it's traditional or out-of-the-ordinary gifts you're looking for this Mother's Day, you are sure to find the perfect item at nonprofitshoppingmall.com.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- A's opening day starter Brett Anderson was lifted from Friday's game against Tampa Bay after just one inning.
He left the game with a sprained right ankle. He wasn't hit by a ball, so it's possible that he hurt himself jumping in pursuit of a Sean Rodriguez grounder that went for an infield single to short.
Evan Scribner took the mound to start the second inning against the Rays after Anderson gave up four hits, two walks and four earned runs in the bottom of the first inning.
In 19.2 innings over so far this season, Anderson has allowed 21 hits 11 walks and 13 runs (11 earned) for a 5.03 ERA.

Usefull if you only want to see the package names, or if you want to use them in a script.
If you have GNU findutils, you can get only the file name with

instead of
find /some/path -type f | gawk -F/ '{print $NF}'
This version also attaches to new processes forked by the parent apache process. That way you can trace all current and *future* apache processes.

Let's not forget awk!
The lastb command presents you with the history of failed login attempts (stored in /var/log/btmp). The reference file is read/write by root only by default. This can be quite an exhaustive list with lots of bots hammering away at your machine. Sometimes it is more important to see the scale of things, or in this case the volume of failed logins tied to each source IP.
The awk statement determines if the 3rd element is an IP address, and if so increments the running count of failed login attempts associated with it. When done it prints the IP and count.
The sort statement sorts numerically (-n) by column 3 (-k 3), so you can see the most aggressive sources of login attempts. Note that the ':' character is the 2nd column, and that the -n and -k can be combined to -nk.
Please be aware that the btmp file will contain every instance of a failed login unless explicitly rolled over. It should be safe to delete/archive this file after you've processed it.

It's been less than a month since Keystone Science School began its urgent campaign to raise funds to buy the land it operates on, but the school is already well on the way to reaching its goal.
The science school has been a part of The Keystone Center for more than 35 years. At the end of 2012, the decision was made that the two would officially separate, becoming two independent nonprofit organizations. To continue at its current site, the science school intends to purchase that land from the center. Due to the center's need to meet certain obligations within the first and second quarters of 2013, the science school needs to raise $2.5 million for the land by Jan. 31.
Thanks to a mix of pledges and public donations within the community, the school has raised nearly $1.8 million so far.
"We're getting closer every day," said Ellen Reid, executive director of the science school. "This community has been unbelievable in coming to the table and rising to the challenge. People are being extremely generous and hopeful."
Last week featured two fundraising events put on by the science school, including a concert by Mike Blakely and a barbecue dinner. Match grant challenges, in which a donor agrees to match other donations dollar by dollar, assured success. The first event raised $28,000 and the concert raised $52,000.
"It's a way to incentivize people to give because they know their gift will be matched dollar by dollar by another donor," Reid said. "It's a way for them to garner additional support. They know their money's going to go farther and mean more."
One particular donor stood out during the concert benefit - a science school camper and third-grade student heard the call for a $50 donation.
"She raised her hand and said, 'I have $77 in my piggy bank and I'll give you $50 for it,'" Reid recalled. "It was so sweet to think of a third-grade girl who's been saving her money and to give over two-thirds of it to the science school campaign. It was so touching and sweet."
The science school has also taken to the Web to campaign on Facebook. A donor offered to match up to $3,000. For every "like" the page received, $1 went to the campaign and eventually reached the 3,000 goal.
There are no more fundraising events planned for the Campaign for the Keystone Science School due to time constraints. However, donations will be accepted any time up to the Jan. 31 deadline. To those who have already donated, Reid expressed her gratitude on behalf of the science school and the center.
"How do you say 'thank you' enough? I'm so grateful, seeing how much this place that means so much to me and to the science school staff and the Keystone Center staff and seeing how much this community embraces the work that we do has been overwhelming," Reid said. "It's a heartfelt thank you more than anything, I'm deeply grateful that this community has stepped up."

Report warned about Marathon finish line
Posted May 10th, 2013 @ 6:17am by Matt Cantor, Newser Staff
(NEWSER) – An 18-page report that emerged days before the Boston Marathon proved chillingly accurate in its warning: It said the race's finish line was an "area of increased vulnerability," noting a threat of "small-scale bombings" by extremists, the Los Angeles Times reports. But the report, from the Boston Regional Intelligence Center, which receives Department of Homeland Security funding, said there was "no credible, specific information indicating an imminent threat." Yesterday, Boston's police chief said the FBI hadn't informed police about any concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Member Vi Shirey has updated us with a change on the date for the John T. Potter dedication at Shady Grove Cemetery. It "has been changed to October 22, the 164th birthday of John T. Potter." This is a better date for the honor guard which will conduct its ceremony. "This will also allow for a more elaborate ceremony, flags, gun salute, taps, and the reading of the names of other Civil War veterans buried at Shady Grove." She added that this also coincides with Winnsboro's annual Autumn Trails celebration.

2 lbs lean ground turkey
2 TBSP Montreal Steak Seasoning
2 TBSP Worchestershire sauce
2 eggs, whisked
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 cup milk
2 TBSP olive oil
1 onion, diced
salt and pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed dry and chopped
pinch of nutmeg
3/4 cup pecans, finely chopped (I pulsed mine in the food processor)
3/4 cup dried cranberries
4 oz goat cheese, crumbled (I'll use cream cheese the next time as hubby isn't all that fond of goat cheese)
Crumble ground turkey into a large mixing bowl. Season with steak seasoning and worchestershire sauce. Set aside.
In another bowl, combine whisked eggs, oats and milk. Set aside
In skillet heat olive oil. Add onion, season with salt and pepper, and saute until onion is softened, 5-6 minutes. Add garlic and saute for another minute or two.

Add the egg/oats/milk mixture to the ground turkey and combine all. Transfer meat mixture to a sheet of parchment paper and pat into a rectangle. Spread spinach mixture on top of meat mixture and using the parchment paper to help you, roll it into a loaf.
Chipotle Cranberry Sauce
1 (12 oz) package of fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3/4 cup of sugar (I used Splenda)
2-3 tsps of chipotle chile canned in adobo sauce. (I process a whole can in the food processor and freeze in an ice cube tray. Each cube is approximately one tablespoon.
1 tsp grated orange zest
1/2 tsp cinnamon
dash of salt.
Combine cranberries, orange juice and sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook for about 7-8 minutes or until cranberries begin to pop, stirring occasionally. Add chipotle, orange zest, cinnamon and salt. Reduce heat and cook for about 20 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally. Serve warm or cold.

A fifth person apparently infected with West Nile virus has turned up in Alabama. A top state official said more are likely. The latest victim lives in Montgomery County. All five patients in Alabama are recovering.
Meanwhile, here in Mississippi, city and county officials from across the state met with health experts to discuss ways to fight the virus.
The meeting was set up via satellite link at community colleges, including Meridian Community College. The state department of health answered questions about how to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes. Local officials said it was very beneficial.
State health officer Dr. Ed Thompson said during the teleconference that the outbreak is likely to last another six weeks to two months.

Former Summit County commissioner and longtime Frisco business owner Donald Peterson died Friday morning at the age of 80 of natural causes.
"I know Don Peterson was passionate about two things in his life: First, his family, and second, Summit County," Peterson's friend and former Summit County Sheriff Delbert Ewoldt said.
Peterson served in the United States Air Force in the 1950s, where he flew cargo aircraft. He was an engineer by trade, and had a major hand in the development at Copper Mountain Resort. Peterson served as a county commissioner for six years, from 1982-88, and as a Frisco town councilman from 1996-99. Along with his wife, Jane, and son-in-law Dave Philips, Peterson opened up Summit Gold Jewelry in late 1986.
"He was very kind, very gentle," friend and former Summit County Commissioner Gary Lindstrom said. "I never knew anybody who didn't like him."
Lindstrom posted the news of Peterson's passing on his Facebook page Friday morning, and said he got about 50 responses, all from people saying how nice Peterson was.
Peterson was a wonderful man and well-respected commissioner, Ewoldt said.
"He didn't play political games at all. If it was good for the county or the towns, he supported it," Ewoldt said. "It didn't matter whose idea it was."
Peterson a was a nice gentleman and a smart guy who did a variety of things over the years, including creating jewelry, which he loved to do, friend Tom Malmgren said.
Last December, Peterson told the Summit Daily News that his business, Summit Gold, started as a hobby in his garage. He liked to create unique pieces of jewelry - like a replica of Haley's Comet - and sell them through small ads in science publications.
He also loved to golf, and was always trying to improve his game, friends said.
Peterson is survived by his wife, Jane, a son, Brian, and two daughters, Donna and Lyn, and Lyn's husband, Dave Philips.
Ewoldt shared one of his favorite stories about Peterson. Peterson once entered a meeting at Frisco Town Hall with a tackle box and fly fishing pole, and announced that the meeting was only going to last one hour, and no more.
"If we couldn't make a decision in one hour he was going fly fishing. After he said it, we never thought anything more about it ... low and behold, at the stroke of 4 p.m., Commissioner Peterson stood up with his fishing pole and walked out the door," Ewoldt said. "It was absolutely hilarious."

Songs by Debut Year:
This show was part of the "1987 Tour."
Trey spent a lot of time writing during the summer of 1987 and it seems that the band really came out of the gate with a much more serious attitude than before. I really believe that this month, and the antecedent months prior, were a turning point for the band who had made the decision to take the next step and give it a go. This performance, and the next ones over August, really shine compared to previous performances earlier in the year.
While the most commonly available sources of this show contain Set I until part-way through Set II, the rest of the show is not available. Interestingly, early versions of the Pharmer's Almanac have the second half of set II and set III listed as Set I and II. Seeing as the band was playing 3 shows in a row at Nectar's during these days (sometimes 2 in a row, sometimes 3), it could be that there were 3 shows over this period and we are combining 2 shows into one (although fairly unlikely since Skin it Back cuts midway through the song). In any event, all we have of this show is the first set and 1/2 of set 2. Unless the second half of this show turns up, or more clarity is brought about the missing 2nd half, we won't know for sure.
Anyways, on to the music. It's evident that the band has solidified their parts in these songs and has practiced significantly (Fish, notably). A breezy Golgi flows into Slave (a la much of 86, 2/13 and 10/14). Slave has a nice build with no noticeable Trey solo, yet the band sounds great. A beautiful early version.
ZZ top's La Grange is next, the first version of this late 80's concert staple. Although short, the band plays the song dutifully with some screeching Trey wail. The wonderful The Chase > Lushington > Dog Log > Possum movement that the band had been tinkering with in May appears, for the last time. This is the finest version of this combination the band plays, and it is definitely worth a listen, especially since the AUD is very clear. Page highlights in this Possum.
A very solid Sally ends with no vocal jam. The first Timber follows and contains an extra verse by Trey. This medley of covers continues with a ripping GTBT. After Fish screws up the ending, Trey introduces him. The bluesy Shaggy Dog calms things down and gives the audience a rest. A standard Funky Bitch closes the set.
The Curtain, in its first appearance, is novel here, as the band performs it flawlessly. It's definitely worth having a listen to this or the 8/21/87 version as they are both spectacular. Richard Wright guests on his own song, Halley's Comet next, and sings in his extremely skewed voice. Halley's moves directly into a nascent Sloth, which lacks its heavy-metal bridge.
Light Up, one of the rarer Phish covers is next, featuring Trey doing circles around Steve Winwood. This Light Up is raucous but somehow calms down and cooly moves into Skin it Back, which ends most versions of this recording.
This is a solid, well-played, and wonderful show. Even though these are the first versions of many of these songs, the band is well-practiced, and things sound really good. Take a listen to the Lushington>Possum, the short but sweet Slave, and the early Curtain With. Those who haven't heard Richard Wright sing should check out this version of Halley's.
SlavePhan has done a great job of reviewing all of these shows, however, Sally does contain a vocal jam and Page has always sung Light Up, as far as I know, not Trey.

Man sentenced to 15 years for series of drug deals
Published: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:49 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 8:49 p.m.
A Spartanburg man was sentenced Tuesday to 15 years in prison and a $50,000 fine for a series of illegal drug deals, according to the 7th Circuit Solicitor's Office.
Charles James Woodruff, 33, pleaded guilty to trafficking crack cocaine, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, three counts of distribution of cocaine, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, distribution of crack cocaine within a half-mile of a school, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine within a half-mile of a school and possession of marijuana.
Woodruff will serve about 12 years of Circuit Judge Benjamin Culbertson's prison sentence before he is eligible for release.
The drug deals occurred between April 12, 2011, and Oct. 12, 2012, at various locations in Spartanburg County and the city of Spartanburg, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies and city police used informants to buy drugs from Woodruff. In one incident, police caught Woodruff in possession of two handguns, 6 grams of marijuana, 13 grams of crack cocaine, two sets of scales and $1,627 in cash, according to the solicitor's office.
"Charles Woodruff was a repeat offender who made his living selling drugs in our community," Assistant Solicitor Scott Spivey said. "He did so while on probation and while out on bond. He has consistently proven he cannot conform to the laws of our state. Spartanburg is safer with Mr. Woodruff serving time in prison."
Woodruff's prior criminal record includes three prior drug convictions along with aggravated assault and battery and criminal domestic violence, according to the solicitor's office.

Get down and dirty in the garden

Jalapenos have taken over my countertop. For the first time this year, I decided to grow a jalapeno plant in a pot in front of my house. Whew boy, did it take off—with minimal attention on my part. The explosion of jalapenos I've been harvesting over the past month or two is terrific, but it also has me in a quandary.
A jalapeno harvest is exciting—but it leaves the gardener wondering what to do with all the spicy little peppers once they're picked. Photo By Julie Collins.
You see, I like a good jalapeno with a Mexican dish here and there. But I don't eat them religiously. Most of the people I cook for can't handle the heart-burning effects of peppers.
Still, I don't want all these jalapenos to go to waste—so I'm looking for some ways to use or save them beyond chopping them up and adding them to recipes pronto.
Jalapenos can be dried, frozen, pickled, preserved in olive oil, or smoked. Of course, making salsa and using them up in recipes are great options too. Photo By Julie Collins.
Here's what I'm contemplating:
This looks like it's a piece of cake. Just wash your jalapenos and let them dry, then place them on a plate or wire rack or string them up and hang them in a well-ventilated room. Wait several weeks and voila, you have dried jalapeno peppers for displaying or grinding.
To save some of my crop for later, I might wash them and place them in a freezer in a two-pound freezer bag. You can skin or peel them, roast them, or chop them first if you like. (Odds are, when you thaw them out, they'll be limp and squishy—but they'll still taste fine.)
I found a handy, relatively easy recipe for pickling jalapeno peppers courtesy of Lesley Cooks.
Preserving with olive oil
I wouldn't have thought to do this until I stumbled on the Jalapeno Madness website. You can preserve your spicy little friends by roasting the jalapenos in a broiler until the skins are bubbly and blackened, skinning them, cutting the flesh into strips, and adding the strips to a clean jar with enough olive oil to cover. If you make sure the lid is airtight and refrigerate them immediately, they should last for a week or more.
Mother Earth News has a great story on how you can smoke jalapeno peppers in your own backyard. Why not try it this weekend?
Then again, maybe I'll just head to the farmer's market to round up the ingredients for salsa and make a few jars of it to share with family and friends. I'm also dying to try this Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies recipe from The Pioneer Woman. Maybe now's the time, even if I am the only one in the family who will eat them?
What's your favorite way to use your jalapeno harvest? I'd love some suggestions!
Warning: Remember to be careful when handling jalapeno peppers, because the oils in the peppers can burn your skin. Wear plastic gloves and, if your hands do touch the peppers, wash them immediately with soap and water.
