Morning Briefing: Polish CPI Due, Corporate Earnings on Tap
- Local/GMT
- 0700/0600 Polish insurer PZU 3Q earnings
- 0700/0600 Polish utility PGE 3Q earnings
- 0800/0700 Coal miner New World Resources 3Q earnings
- 0800/0700 MOL CFO to hold conference call on 3Q earnings
- 1400/1300 Polish October CPI
- 1400/1300 Polish central bank voting records for Oct
- 1400/1300 Hungary central bank minutes of October meeting
Consumer price inflation in Poland is the key event in the region for foreign exchange markets Wednesday, while equity investors have a wide range of corporate earnings on tap.
In Warsaw, inflation is forecast to have decelerated to 3.5% on the year in October from 3.8% in September, just squeaking back into the Polish central bank's 1.5%-3.5% tolerance range.
Analysts said the slowdown in consumer price growth may provide justification for the central bank to launch an easing cycle at its November meeting. The fall will be partly due to statistical factors, as well as falling fuel prices amid slowing consumption demand, said Invest-Bank in Warsaw.
The tally of how policy makers voted at the central bank's October policy meeting is also due. At that meeting bankers defied expectations for a cut and kept rates unchanged.
In Budapest, Hungary's largest oil and gas firm MOL Nyrt.'s third-quarter earnings jumped from a year earlier on improving product margins, higher sales volume and inventory gains in the downstream segment.
POLAND: Poland's proposed hydrocarbon law, aimed at taxing and regulating Poland's embryonic shale gas industry, may hamper commercial production of natural gas instead of speeding it up, a Poland-based lobby for the sector said Tuesday.
CZECH REPUBLIC: The Czech finance ministry said Tuesday it sold 31 billion koruna ($1.55 billion) in the latest tranche of its retail bond issue, nearly double its target estimate.
However, such retail issues are unlikely to replace traditional borrowing from institutions and commercial banks will likely see continued steady deposits, analysts said.
HUNGARY: Retail banks operating in Hungary may pass on the costs of the new financial transaction levy to their clients but won't be allowed to use it to generate a profit, the financial sector regulator said Tuesday.
The Hungarian parliament late Monday approved the levy, which can now be included in the 2013 budget bill and is due to be launched on Jan. 1.
HUNGARY: Hungarian energy group MOL Nyrt.'s third-quarter profit jumped from a year earlier on improving product margins, higher sales volume and inventory gains in the downstream segment, MOL's earnings report published Wednesday showed.
BULGARIA: Bulgaria's 12-month inflation slowed to 4.4% in October from 4.9% in September on falling food and transportation prices, the national statistical institute said Tuesday.
On a month-on-month basis, the consumer price index in non-euro-zone EU member Bulgaria edged up 0.3% in October from the month earlier.

In a close game that went down to the wire, the Seneca girls were able to squeeze by Neosho on Tuesday, 39-34, in a varsity basketball game at Neosho High School.
The Lady Indians took a 5-0 lead out of the gate to open the game, but the Lady Wildcats set the tone for what the rest of the game would look like as they fired back with a 7-0 run to grab the lead. Seneca, however, closed on its own 7-0 spurt and led 12-7 at the end of one quarter.
While Neosho attempted to push the ball, and had some success throughout the game doing so, the Lady Indians were ultimately able to slow them enough in their 2-3-defense to remain in front the remainder of the way.
"We played hard," Lady Wildcats coach Lance Robbins said. "I'm always pleased with our effort. (Seneca's) 2-3-zone slowed us down a lot and we did not attack it very well. We settled for a lot of jumpers. To (the Indians') credit they did a good job of slowing down the pace and trying to make it into a half court game. We just struggled to shoot."
Mirana Heath led Seneca with 13 points while Molli Cooper chipped in 10, Courtney Cook eight, Annie Howard four, and Bailey Skelton and Elena Wood two.
Matty Liedtke led the Lady Wildcats with 10 points while Corea Lowery had eight, Chelsey Henry and Morgan Rogers six, Morgan Rathmann three and Brooke Stauffer one.

I enjoyed yesterday's reuben sandwich so much I decided to try my hand at making my own. Fantastic success! The vegan corned beef turned out far better than expected. But first, I had to find out exactly what corned beef is. How can corn be an adjective? As it turns out, the corn in this case refers to the large grain salt used to cure beef brisket. The whole process takes about 10 days. Well, this version takes only one hour and tastes fabulous. The key is the seasoned salt and the smoked paprika. If you don't have smoked paprika, use regular paprika and add a few drops of liquid smoke.

Vegan Dad~ You are one of my inspirations to start a vegan blog. I am not a cook like you (very few are!) but I would love it if you would check out my link. I think you could find it at the least amusing and entertaining with some easy meal ideas.
It would be an honor!
Thanks, and I hope you have a good weekend!

Wow! Thanks for posting this! Corned beef used to be the only meat that I used to really enjoy eating, so I can't wait to try this.
Is that supposed to be 1-1/4 CUPS of vital wheat gluten?

I am so anxious to try this! But, I don't have a steamer (in fact, I don't know what that is except for the little metal flower you put in a pot to steam veggies). Could this be baked or some other substitution? Thank you!

Mmmmm this looks yummy (and better than that, easy!).
Chickpeas don't agree with me so much, do you think it would work using another type of bean like Cannelini?

Wow. This looks great and very do-able. I just want to tell you that, thanks largely to your blog, I have not purchased any Boca or Morningstar Farms meat analogs in months. Your recipes are so delicious and useful! I hope that you continue to have an enjoyable trip. Thanks for blogging all the way through it. :0)

I was definitely a pastrami & corned beef lover (in the past) & would love to try this recipe. I don't have juniper berries; they sound good but I don't remember seeing them at the market or Trader Joes... maybe Whole Foods carries them?? Maybe I'll omit them as they are optional.
You're getting to be a real pro at devising "faux meat" recipes. And that's really inspiring!

I once made a tempeh reuben that was the bomb and since my fear of seitan (that sounds a little funny)I think I would go that route again. I will have to do it up sometime. I really liked it. I think I got it from Vegan with a Vengeance.

You can buy an electric steamer (they are usually plastic, have a water resevoir, a perforated steaming tray, and a lid), but I just use the perforated insert that came with my stock pot. Or, you can get a bamboo steamer and use it with your wok. I'm sure you could bake this as well (around 325-350) for about 1 hour, but it will come out drier than the steamed version.

Any white been will do here, I just find chickpeas are a bit heartier. But, I usually use cannelini in my sausages so they will work just fine in this recipe.
- July 12, 2008 at 8:27 AM
- Vegan Dad said...
I forgot to mention to bake the seitan in the foil, otherwise it really will dry out! Like with the steaming, the seitan needs to swell against the foil before it is taken out of the oven.

Well, thanks for de-mystifying the Reuben Sandwich! I've never had a real reuben (or corned beef, for that matter), but I think I will try yours!

Reubens are my favorite! I'm a total sucker for sauerkraut.
On another topic, I was thinking that your cookbook should be a pretty Blurb book. http://www.blurb.com
(No, I don't work for the company.) But Blurb looks like a good product that would showcase your pretty photos.

hi there!
your recipes and pictures always make my mouth water!
one thing i was wondering is - how many servings would you say this loaf of seitan makes? that way i can plan ahead...
i've had good luck with freezing leftover seitan, too...
mmmm reubens....
- July 12, 2008 at 4:39 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
It really depends on how much meat you put on a sandwich, but this recipe will give you at least 6 sandwiches (and as many as 8, I would think).

Looks yummy! I've done meatless-meatless reubens in the past: grilled rye bread with warmed 'kraut and sliced avocados. I never ate corned beef back in my omni days (decades ago!) so I'm quite curious about this.

vegan dad,
you amaze me! i am yet to try your sandwich meat recipe, but i am excited to try this! i used to work at a deli & had my own version of a reuben & one of the things i did was to add steamed/grilled onions to it--yummy!

Vegan Dad, I am so glad you posted this! I've been wanting to make a homemade vegan reuben for ever and ever since I tried a few at some vegetarian restaurants. Your picture is awesome too; looks delicious!

I always wondered what corned beef was, exactly. I make faux reubens with tofurkey cause it makes no difference to me - the dressing and kraut are what matter. But this sounds very good too!

My boyfriend is going to fall in love with you after eating this :) I plan on making it soon, Rubens are his favorite sandwich of all time. I buy Worthington Corned Beef, but it's not vegan and would prefer something that is. Thanks for sharing!
PS: I bookmarked your blog :)

I made these tonight. They were phenomenal. I have never made seitan before and this was so simple. Just steam and forget about it for about an hour. I had two sandwiches and felt utterly satisfied with every bite. Thanks, Vegan Dad!

I finally made this yesterday after finding some juniper berries.
The recipe came out perfectly and that was the problem: my vege family of four years couldn't eat it because we all agreed it was WAY too close to the texture, taste, appearance and smell of meat. This is despite liking mock meat products such as crumbed schnitzel which we eat regularly.
Today I bought some chutney and pickles to see how close it came to what I remembered as a 'corned beef and pickles (or chutney)' sandwich and it was so close it was scary.
Anyway, the wife and children have said it's not something they would like to try again.
You can't win them all! :-)

I don't know what happened, but this turned out horribly for me. It smelled exactly like that Smart Bacon (which is just wrong when making a reuben) and it turned out very rubbery. I looked like I could have bounced it on the floor a few times. I baked it cause I don't have steaming equipment, but I don't think that was the problem. Once again, a recipe using wheat gluten fails. I'm gonna stick with my labor-intensive method of washing wheat flour and simmering for 2 hours. *sigh*
- February 10, 2009 at 12:25 AM
- Vegan Dad said...
Auntie Cake,
I think the Smart Bacon problem can be solved by using less smoked paprika, or just regular paprika. The seasonings are up to you, really--these are just my suggestions. As for the rubber texture, I have found that these seitan creations need to be gently steamed. Too hot too fast leads to rubber. Adjust the cooking time and temp. As for baking, I would be inclined to "steam bake" it: http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/10/on-steaming-seitan-in-oven.html

I made the corned beef recipe last night and made corned beef hash with it. Just chopped it up into uneven small pieces and fried it up with some salt, pepper, horseradish and onions. Oh my it was heaven. Not exactly like I remember the meat version (it's been years so...), but very yummy. My husband declared just a few minutes ago as he was eating the leftovers, "This is even better cold the next day!"
Thank you so much for all your recipes (and your cookbook!). I know that when I try a new one from you that we will almost definitely love the finished product!

man, every recipe of your's i make comes out AMAZING!
i made two batches of this for a st. pat's party last night. omnivores who had never had seitan before were going back for third helpings!
just now, i made a reuben with the few remaining leftovers - so so great. everyone who loves seitan or sandwiches needs to try this now!

I made this last night for me and my non-vegan boyfriend, and it was amazing. My first attempt at seitan too!
It was really easy, but I read above that this load should make at least 6 sandwiches. We will get 4, tops, and that's not overdoing on the serving size. How deep was your 8x5 loaf??
Thanks for a great recipe!

I slice the seitan pretty thinly, and the rye bread I make is a small loaf. You could 1.5 the recipe, but may have to steam it longer.

I've made this recipe numerous times and just love it.
Today, I tried a new variation after reading a post by "Zoa" at The Airy Way.
When making a seitan recipe from "The Real Food Daily" cookbook, she replaced the cannellini beans with OKARA!!
I'm always looking for ways to use up okara, since I make both soymilk and tofu. I replaced the 1/2 cup of garbanzos with the amount of okara from one batch of soymilk (approximately 3/4 cup). I was going to just use 1/2 cup to equal the volume of garbanzos, but since the object was to use up the okara, I figured I'd see what happens when I use the entire amount.
Zoa mentioned that she dried the okara before using it. Not wanting to put in that much time, I just wrung it out in cheesecloth really, really well, so that the end result was an only mildly damp glop of okara that had no moisture visible at all.
I used a blender to puree the water, okara, and juniper berries (saved the work of crushing them to a powder). After letting the blender run on high for a couple minutes, I then dumped in all the spices and once mixed, poured all that into the vital wheat gluten in the food processor to mix into a dough.
My recommendation for folks that have okara to use up is to substitute it in any seitan recipe that calls for beans or chickpea flour. Just be sure to wring it out in cheesecloth so it is as completely dry as possible.
Well ... the end result was perfect! I noticed no change in the end product from other times I've made this recipe.

Love your blog, but this just didn't work out for me. I have never steamed seitan before, but I did and it seemed so soggy that I baked it with the same glaze I used to use on corned beef. It was still very damp and bready. Now we were using this as part of a St Paddy's dinner, not on Reubens. I'll slice up the leftovers for sandwiches tomorrow and see how that goes.

Hi Vegan Dad,
I think your blog (and you) are pretty amazing. Though I have been vegan for 11 years, I have not really cooked anything away from simple. I would love to try this. When steaming, do you cover the pot or do you open steam it? I will definitely report back after I give this a go. Attempted seitan once by boiling it. Gave it to the neighborhood kids playing hockey to use as pucks;)Thank you for sharing all your amazing hard work with us.

Frustrated!! I steamed it but the seitan feels awfully soft after it came out! I expected it to be tougher and resemble meat. Also, in one of the comments you mentioned baking it? Are we baking or steaming it?
- December 10, 2011 at 7:59 PM

Stupid question. Is the water in the recipe for the steaming or for the seitan?
- March 6, 2012 at 12:12 PM
- Sarah Sullivan said...
Wow, this is awesome! I omitted the juniper berries and added a bit of extra onion and garlic powders. I didn't anticipate it would firm up so significantly when cooled, so I cooked mine the full hour but would go with 45 minutes next time for a softer texture. The seasoning is spot-on for corned beef. Have loved eating this on sandwiches, and also have used it to top pizzas. Thanks so much!

I just made this and it was super easy and turned out great. To answer Mz Spider, the water goes in the recipe.
When I make this again, and I certainly will, I will double the amount of dry mustard and smoked paprika. It was a little too clove and allspice tasting for me, but if you omitted them, it would be bland, so this is why I would "kick up" the other seasonings.
This reminded me of the consistency of an expensive Tofurky that is around the holidays. I will likely make modifications to make my own this year from this recipe.
Thank you for posting!

CONCORD -- Karlo Agustin said he wasn't angry, just resigned to the fact that his day had become more expensive. Dan Zywicki didn't seem too ticked off, either, even though he was stuck changing all four of the tires on his daughter's car.
"You just have to bite the bullet," Zywicki said of the turn of events that had him fixing his daughter's vehicle. "You either laugh about it or you cry."
Nobody was crying in Concord's Valley district, but nobody was laughing, either. Not after police said the tires on about 60 vehicles were slashed by vandals in the areas of Glazier Drive, Bel Air Drive and Machado Drive early Sunday morning.
Police said they began receiving calls from vehicle owners just after 7 a.m. Sunday, with many saying all four of their tires had been slashed, Lt. Tim Runyon said. A majority of the vehicles hit were in the Galindo Creek condominium complex, where residents said several vehicles suffered the same fate in 2010.
"I don't know that I'm angry," said Agustin, 33, a loan officer who works out of his home. "Having gone through this before, you just realize that there's not much you can do. You feel a little bit of shock and then resign yourself to the fact that it's probably gonna cost at least $300 to get it fixed."
Police said they don't know what type of tool was used to slash the tires and that no other details would be released, pending further investigation.
According to residents, a security officer was once on patrol at the complex, but the homeowners association ended that because of the cost. The next homeowners association meeting is scheduled in March.
Underground, gated parking is available at the complex but not for every vehicle, residents said.
Police said they don't have any suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call the investigative division of the Concord Police Department at 925-671-3030 or the department's tip line at 925-603-5836.

25 Insane High Heels You Won't Believe Exist
A good two-piece dress is the single smartest fashion investment you can make this season.

There are lots of two-piece dresses that don't show any midriff at all and they're just as cute and fashionable as the ones that do. And the best part? Unlike regs dresses, two-piece dresses can be broken up and worn as separates. It's like three pieces of clothing for the price of one! So what are you waiting for!?! Start shopping!

25 Insane Prom Dresses You Won't Believe Actually Exist

To generalize is human nature. We are constantly making assumptions and categorizing the people around us, trying to figure out where we all fit in. This is what we do, and often without thinking about it.
When it comes to having a child with special needs the generalizations start from day one. Your child is diagnosed with "A" so he will most likely be able to do A B and C but probably not D and E.
I hear generalizations so often that i start to wonder how words like, lazy, over eater, heart condition, low functioning, high functioning, tongue thrust, mental retardation, slow, low tone, happy, social, overweight and on and on, do not not just eat me alive. Seriously i wonder how it is that these words do not all just form together to create this huge generalization monster and eat me up. I feel like these statements, these generalizations wear me down and sit on my shoulders all day. What is so hard about them is they have medical and scientific evidence to back them up, well some of them do. Then these generalizations become statistics and then it is ok to generalize about your child because there is statistic to back it up. This is basic science, right? Could you imagine if this was your baby. Lets pretend that the medical world has made a new discovery that children with brown hair and blue eyes are more aggressive. So you have just given birth to a beautiful baby boy and the doctor walks over to you and says " your son is beautiful, but i need you to know that it looks like he may have brown hair and blue eyes,here is some pamphlets on aggression and a social worker will be in shortly to speak with you". You look down at your little one and you can't see the striking beauty of the brown hair and blue eyes anymore , you can't swim in the pools of blue looking up at you, all you can do is worry. How will he go to school, what about college, will he ever marry? Your moment was taken away, all because of a generalization.You cant look at his blue eyes and brown hair an not associate it with his future, and to top it off everyone else will see his physical appearance and associate it with aggression. Welcome to this world little one you are now a statistic.
Hashem has created this world with a fine brush. His creativity is beyond our greatest imagination. Each being fits into our world as an individual. We look at little ones like my Rozie and see her beautifully slanted eyes and generalize. It is what we do it is human nature.
Rozie has gotten to the age where she will no longer sit in the grocery cart seat. She can wiggle out of the strap and stand up in the seat, and usually this happens when i turn to grab a bag of lettuce or a bottle of milk. To fix this is started putting her in the large part of the basket, i feel she is safer there because she can stand all she wants and and she is not taller then the basket. Rozie loves this, and stands in the cart and waves. She says "hi" with her husky little voice and waves her pageant hand at every shopper in the store. The girl thinks she is on a float and loves every minute of it. I was also loving it , she was in her social element , until she was generalized. "They are all like that, so happy", someone said to me in a sweet voice. It was meant to be a compliment pointing out how lucky i am to have one of those Down syndrome kids that are "always happy", but to me it was hurtful. It took something so wonderful from my daughter and turned it into a symptom of her syndrome. She wasn't a little girl who loved to wave. She wasn't and individual and her behavior wasn't unique to her. It was her extra chromosome that caused this behavior. I wanted her to sit down.
Statistics and generalizations are important , i understand that. We need them to understand Rozie's makeup and how things will work for her, medically, physically and mentally, but when these statistics take away her, then i'm no longer listening.
Generalization will always be part of our lives. Sometimes she will fit the mold,and often she wont. My job is to walk away from them and to accept her even if she overeats, or is delayed in her speech.
Rozie is a piece of Hashem's fine art so perfectly designed. She waves and smiles and wins the heart of the people around her, but not because she has Down syndrome, but because she is a sweet little girl that loves to love. She is my Rozie first and Down syndrome second, she is not her diagnosis and her diagnosis is not her.

Similar to a scientist, Zullinger explores the inner self through an examination of the human body. He does this using the medium of photography. His science is one of observation and incorporates the dramas of birth and death. Entering a darkened gallery, the viewer faces images of the human body, both the artist's and his model. We are convinced that life processes are at work. Indeed they are, for Zullinger observes the entropy of life itself, the never ending decay of the human body. We see metaphors for youth and age, dark and light, good and evil, and the spiritual and the physical. The gallery space represents a tomb and a laboratory. It is not surprising to find out that the artist is fascinated by both Egyptian funerary architecture and the field of Physics. Each area equally informs his work and is at play here. Zullinger comments, "My artwork derives from the exploration of the inner self, and its contrast with the physical world." Beginning with a psychic investigation of the subconscious and dreams, he brings together the mind and body, suggesting the transcendence of the human spirit. Like a physicist, Zullinger explores the nature of our existence, the relationship of our lives to the universe, and the dissipation of energy. Rationality and irrationality operate side-by-side.

"My Favorite Salad" Panini
The spinach, blue cheese, pecans and cranberries are processed with a little reduced-fat mayonnaise to form a pesto-like spread which is first placed on both slices of bread, focaccia, in this case.
Then thinly sliced grilled chicken breast is placed on top of one of the bread slices.
And thinly sliced apples are layered on top of the chicken breast.
Put the whole thing together and grill on a panini press or grill pan for a few minutes and you'll have one of the tastiest grilled sandwiches you've ever eaten. Swears. (It REALLY was good.)
My Favorite Salad Panini (makes 4 sandwiches)
8 slices of focaccia bread
2 seasoned and grilled chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 apple, cored, thinly sliced
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1/2 cup pecans
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
1/4 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
Process the spinach, pecans, dried cranberries, blue cheese and mayonnaise in a food processor. Spread mixture on each slice of bread. Top with grilled chicken slices and apple slices. Grill on panini press or grill pan until bread is toasted.
I'm entering this panini recipe in My Kitchen Addiction's September Kitchen Bootcamp Challenge.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE — Thirty-five North Tahoe students traveled to Incline High School and listened to "The Things They Carried" author Tim O'Brien speak about his book, war experiences, and writing in a private presentation last Friday.
"The Things They Carried" is a work of fiction with interrelated stories based on the author's experiences in the Vietnam War. The book is read by students in Mr. Freeman's senior English class.
O'Brien spoke of his war experiences, his reactions to being drafted into a war in which he did not believe and the art of writing war stories that promote peace. He also discussed his belief that any politician who promotes a war should enlist and fight the war. Finally, students commented about O'Brien's honest opinion of war, and the author's need to speak out, and bear witness to war.
Students were captured by the emotions the presentation brought out in the author, especially when he read excerpts. "It was as if he was experiencing the war all over again," said one senior. O'Brien also spoke about the difficulty of saying "no" to going to Vietnam, citing expectations from his family and the confinements of being from a small town.
Later, O'Brien spoke to an audience of more than 300 at Sierra Nevada College.

SAN JOSE -- The jersey said "Quaker" instead of "Quakes." But that was the same Frank Yallop roaming the Earthquakes practice field Tuesday.
Only now he coaches the Chicago Fire, which plays last-place San Jose on Wednesday night at Santa Clara's Buck Shaw Stadium in a game both teams desperately need to win to remain in the Major League Soccer playoff race.
Yallop will face his former team for the first time a year after a sudden departure that stunned team officials, players and fans.
He has traded the blue-and-black San Jose jersey for the red and Navy blue shirt with Chicago's sponsor Quaker Oats Company plastered across the chest.
"Weird," is how Yallop described it while keeping an eye on the Fire (3-4-11), eighth in the 10-team Eastern Conference.
"I stepped on" this field "a year ago. Now I am here with a new team."
It also will be strange for many of the Earthquakes players and coaches who forged strong bonds with their former boss.
Mark Watson was Yallop's chief assistant since 2010 before taking over last June when the coached walked away. Watson said the coaches talked about it recently.
"There are no issues," Watson said. "We're great friends now and great friends after the game."
Yallop's departure last year led to many questions and much speculation because the specific reasons for leaving have never been cited.
"Sometimes you just get to the point, 'Do I feel I need a change?' " Yallop said. "Yeah, I needed it. I made a decision I needed to step down."
He wanted to clarify one point: "I wasn't fired, by the way. We talked about it and all agreed, and it was great."
Owner Lew Wolff told this newspaper last year that Yallop left on his own accord and could have stayed.
But Yallop, whose family is scheduled to complete the move from Los Gatos to Chicago next month, seemed to need a fresh start after 5½ years in San Jose.
What has been left unsaid is mounting frustration over the Earthquakes' direction. Without a big second half, San Jose would miss the playoff for the second consecutive season.
Yallop led the Quakes to MLS Cup victories in 2001 and 2003 before leaving to run the Canadian national team for two years. He was the architect of the Earthquakes' return to MLS in 2008. Four years later San Jose won the 2012 Supporters Shield for the best regular-season record. The former Canadian defender was MLS coach of the year two times while with the Quakes.
Yallop also coached the Los Angeles Galaxy in 2006-07, the two years the franchise was in limbo after MLS moved the team to Houston.
"It was sad the way Frank left after all he did for this club," forward Alan Gordon said Tuesday. "He deserved better even though he wouldn't say that. I'm happy to see him in a good situation because he deserves it."
Yallop helped revive Gordon's career in Los Angeles and San Jose. The coach also was instrumental in giving U.S. international player Chris Wondolowski his break when bringing him to San Jose in a trade with the Houston Dynamo.
"Frank has been responsible for a lot of the best memories of this club for an extended period of time," said defender Jason Hernandez, who is scheduled to start for the injured Clarence Goodson.
Yallop noted he is connected to only a handful of Quakes players, such as Jon Busch, Sam Cronin, Shea Salinas, Gordon and Wondolowski.
After pregame pleasantries, both teams plan to turn their attention to winning. With the season half over, San Jose and Chicago can't afford more lapses if they hope to advance to the playoffs.
"We're the same as Earthquakes," Yallop said. "We've played better than our record. There's no excuses, but it is about time to pick up points now."
The Quakes (4-8-5) are at the bottom of the nine-team Western Conference that not even a victory Wednesday will change.

MOUNTAIN VIEW -- Google is proposing to fund four electric shuttles that will provide free community transportation in a two-year pilot program that could be extended.
If the Mountain View City Council approves Google's plan in September as expected, the company aims to have the buses available to help residents and visitors access recreational areas by late October.
"We're thrilled to be working with the City of Mountain View to provide neighbors a new -- and green -- way to get around town," Google's transportation manager, Kevin Mathy, said in a statement.
Google is the largest employer in Mountain View, with more than 20,000 employees at its campus on Amphitheatre Parkway and other buildings.
The tech giant is known for reaching out to communities as it expands. Past efforts have included free Wi-Fi for Mountain View residents and free transit passes for low-income San Franciscans.
Google's presence in the city keeps growing; the company has bought 24 properties since 2011. The shuttles in Mountain View follow community concern about increased traffic generated by the expansion.
If these company properties are rezoned to allow for employee housing, the shuttle service could also help connect employees working at the Google headquarters, located just north of the Cinemark Century Theatres on Shoreline Boulevard, to downtown. The shuttles might also be charged at the Googleplex until a more central charging station is built.
"To the extent that (Google has) a lot of employees who live here, it helps them," City Manager Dan Rich said.
But he emphasized that the company's effort is primarily intended to help residents get to and from recreational areas.
The proposed routes for the four shuttles haven't been disclosed, as the city is still working with residents on the location of bus stops. But city officials hope the service will reduce drive-alone traffic, as well as help residents get around town--the route will probably form a loop that connects its northernmost point, the movie theaters, with downtown Mountain View.
"It's really about picking up a prescription, heading to the park, hopping downtown for lunch and catching an early matinee," said Mayor Chris Clark in a statement.
The shuttles will probably run every half-hour from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, and every hour on weekends and holidays from noon until 8 p.m. The company will give Mountain View a grant to work out route planning and marketing.
Google hasn't said how much it will cost to lease and run the 16-seat shuttles, which will be Ford E-450s, according to Shyam Nagrani, vice president of marketing at Motiv, the company that provides the shuttles' electric power systems.
While the service will use current signage and stops as much as possible, city traffic engineers are working with public transportation agencies, including the Valley Transportation Authority, to ensure that the routes don't get in the way of each other.
"We want it to be easy to find and easy to follow," Ranson said.
Los Altos resident Julie Tsoi, who frequently uses Mountain View services and parks, was concerned about the shuttles displacing existing transit services.
But, she said, "I love the fact that it's electric. I love the fact that they're promoting ... recreation districts."
Mountain View resident Amy Henderson said she thinks Google is "doing very good things" for the city.
"They have the money to keep Mountain View good-looking and safe and provide buses," said the stay-at-home mom. "I'm totally good with that."
A public meeting at which residents can comment on the shuttle program is planned for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Aug. 12 in the council chambers at 500 Castro St.


text: Okay, this isn't a piece of fiction I.D., it's a work of fantasy art. It was a painting put out very widely as a framed and poster print in the 1980's. It's called "The Citadel." I've had it forever, but I don't know who the artist is. The picture fits in a drawn circle. There's a blue colored (snow) mountain range in the background with a nighttime sky and a small orange moon, then a line of volcanic fire (with volcanic lava rocks in the bottom foreground.) A brown stone, fairy taleish castle with many turrets is perched on the back of a giant human figure made of stones on a green patch of ground. In the lower left corner, a red and blue winged dragon perches and spits a jet of flame toward the stone man hill. In style, it's a bit Whelan-like, but not necessarily his. I've tried to do several Internet searches, but had no luck. If anyone knows whose picture it is, let me know.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- A lot of things makes the Masters -- well, the Masters.
"When I bought my house, I don't think I realized quite what I was getting into," said Meg Harmon, who lives next to Augusta National Golf Club.
And that's the traffic along Washington Road.
It's a nightmare for some, but Harmon considers herself a pro.
"You just know to go places during the day when everybody is parked and try to avoid the traffic in the night and in the morning," Harmon said.
She moved to her house off of Washington Road about 10 years ago, which sits not even a mile from the 18th hole of the Augusta National.
"My driveway's never been blocked, a couple of people who have parked in the front yard, have even knocked on the door and asked, 'Is it OK to park here?'" she said.
It is something she has gotten used to over the years.
"You don't want someone to come to a great event like that and all they talk about is how bad the traffic is," said Steve Cassell, traffic engineer for the City of Augusta.
He is already putting together the master Masters plan.
"We're gonna close the I-20 ramp eastbound at 7:30 a.m. and direct everybody to River Watch and to Alexander," he said. "We've got about 31 changeable message signs."
Those will be scattered throughout the National Hills area.
"We have the ability to change the messages on those, so, if there's a wreck ahead, we inform people about an accident, if there's a ramp closure," Cassell said.
A good thing for some drivers, but for others like Harmon, she doesn't mind getting stuck from time to time.
"One time coming up Alexander, Tiger Woods passing by as I was driving towards home, so, it's kind of exciting to think we could see people as we are waiting in slow traffic," Harmon said.

Previews: Micky Flanagan
Micky Flanagan is back with previews for his upcoming tour.
Micky Flanagan
Razor sharp wit and no nonsense delivery with a classic working class East End background. He could have been a gangster, or a street urchin... Instead he went off to university and became a wordsmith. Not much call for them in Hackney, so he learnt a trade: being a comedian. His star exploded on to the comedy circuit a couple of years ago with a brilliantly observed Edinburgh Fringe show about his rise from working-class Herbert to middle-class ponce, and being caught awkwardly between the two. The show brought him well-deserved acclaim with a best newcomer nomination at the if.comedy awards (now the Edinburgh Comedy Awards). He has since gone on to appear on The Royal Variety Performance, Live At The Apollo, Michael McIntyre's Roadshow, Have I Got News For You and Celebrity Mastermind (chosen subject...'The Boss' - Bruce Springsteen). He also brought the house down as part of the all star bill at Channel 4's Comedy Gala Live At The O2 alongside the likes of Lee Evans and Michael McIntyre, as well as fronting his very own Radio 4 series, What Chance Change? in 2010.

DOE-Funded Clean Energy Projects Win Eight R&D 100 Awards for 2010
Los Alamos researcher Greg Goddard's use of acoustic focusing technology to harvest algae for fuel won an R&D 100 award.
DOE national laboratories and researchers have won 39 of the 100 awards given this year by R&D Magazine for outstanding technology developments with promising commercial potential, including eight awards for energy efficiency and renewable energy research projects. The sought-after R&D 100 Awards are presented annually in recognition of exceptional new products, processes, materials, and software developed throughout the world and introduced into the market the previous year. An independent panel of judges selects the awards based on the technical significance, uniqueness, and usefulness of projects and technologies from across industry, government, and academia. See the DOE press release for the full list of DOE-funded award winners, and R&D Magazine for all R&D 100 Award winners for 2010.
Six of DOE's R&D 100 Awards in 2010 went to renewable energy research projects, including three awards for biofuels and biobased products. Biobased products replace petroleum products, so they reduce U.S. oil dependency. The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) was cited for its Supercritical/Solid Catalyst (SSC), which converts discarded and environmentally unfriendly wastes, such as fats or oils, into biodiesel. SSC turns the worst of wastes into high-quality biodiesel fuels using a single step, a breakthrough that could replace 20% of petroleum diesel in the United States, representing crude imports of 800,000 barrels per day. Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) was honored for the Ultrasonic Algal Biofuel Harvester, a one-of-a-kind device that uses extremely high-frequency sound waves to extract oils and proteins from algae, separating out and recycling the water, all in one integrated system. And Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) was recognized for its development of a process to make propylene glycol from renewable sources. This project allowed PNNL researchers to develop a chemical catalyst that converts a plant-based compound into the additive. See press releases from INL and LANL, and PNNL.
Three awards went to solar power breakthroughs, including two for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). NREL's "black silicon" solar cells, which have been chemically etched with a nanocatalytic solution, can better absorb the sun's energy. The one-step method, which reduces light reflection from silicon wafers to less than 2%, could reduce manufacturing production cost and capital expense. NREL also won an award for the Amonix 7700 Solar Power Generator, a concentrating photovoltaic system that produces 40% more energy than conventional fixed photovoltaic panels. The 53-kilowatt device, developed in partnership with Amonix, pairs an Amonix Fresnel lens with high-efficiency multi-junction solar cells. Also in the solar spotlight was the Micro Power Source, an ultra-small solar cell. Work on the Micro Power Source was performed jointly by Sandia National Laboratory, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and Front Edge Technology, Inc. And in addition to the DOE awardees, Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc. was presented with an award for its commercially manufactured monolithically integrated CIGS thin-film modules using a plastic substrate for applications ranging from automotive, portable power and roof tops. See the press releases from NREL and Sandia, and Ascent Solar.
And, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) won for two energy efficiency contributions. Home Energy Saver is a free online tool that identifies a range of energy-saving upgrades specific to each user's home construction and location. The tool, which is also known as Hohm, had more than 6 million unique visitors as of January 2009. In addition, LBNL researchers created rough silicon nanowires, thermoelectric material that can be used to recover waste heat from cars, airplanes, power plants, and other sources to cut energy use. See the LBNL press release.

Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with carrying a firearm while intoxicated. The statute defining this offense reads in pertinent part as follows:
no person shall carry a pistol, revolver, machine gun, shotgun, rifle or other firearm, which is loaded and from which a shot may be discharged, upon (his/her) person while <insert as appropriate:>
- under the influence of (intoxicating liquor / any drug / both)
- the ratio of alcohol in the blood of such person is ten-hundredths of one per cent or more of alcohol, by weight.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
Element 1 - Carried a firearm
The first element is that the defendant carried a <insert type of weapon> upon (his/her) person. A weapon is "carried" if it is on one's person and within one's control or dominion, meaning that the person must be aware of its presence.1
Element 2 - Loaded and operable
The second element is that the <insert type of weapon> was loaded and capable of firing a shot.
Element 3 - While under the
influence of intoxicating liquor or drug
The third element is that the defendant <insert as appropriate:>
- was under the influence of (intoxicating liquor / any drug / both). A person is under the influence of (intoxicating liquor / any drug / both) when as a result of (drinking such beverage / ingesting such drug) that person's mental, physical, or nervous processes have become so affected that the person lacks to an appreciable degree the ability to function properly in relation to the carrying of a firearm.2
- had a ratio of alcohol in (his/her) blood which was ten-hundredths of one per cent or more of alcohol by weight.3
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that 1) the defendant carried a firearm, 2) the firearm was loaded and operable, and 3) (he/she) was <insert specific allegations as to defendant's condition>.
If you unanimously find that the state
has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the crime of
carrying a firearm while intoxicated, then you shall find the defendant guilty.
On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove
beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant
not guilty.
1 State v. Hopes, 26 Conn. App. 367, 375, cert. denied, 221 Conn. 915 (1992).
2 Definition of "under the influence" is derived from cases involving driving under the influence. See, e.g., State v. Gordon, 84 Conn. App. 519, 527, cert. denied, 271 Conn. 941 (2004).

SAN JOSE -- Bracken Kearns' latest stint in the NHL might have been tenuous when he was first recalled by the Sharks over the weekend. But with yet another injury depleting an already thin forward corps, it seems Kearns and other members of San Jose's third and fourth lines are becoming more indispensable by the minute.
Tommy Wingels, injured in the first period of Sunday's 3-1 Sharks win over Anaheim, said he felt better Monday but did not practice or join the Sharks for their flight to Southern California for their New Year's Eve game against the Ducks. There is no timetable for his return.
Wingels had played just 51 seconds on two shifts when he collided with Mark Fistric and crashed awkwardly into the boards. Wingels, who has nine goals and 13 assists -- both career highs -- in 39 games, suffered an upper-body injury and did not return to the game.
That gave a bit more ice time than usual to fourth-liners Kearns, Mike Brown and Andrew Desjardins, as Sharks coach Todd McLellan was forced to shift his forward combinations on the fly.
"It's what it's all about -- stepping into roles and trying to succeed," Kearns said. "Tommy's a real good hockey player, and he's not easy to replace, but you need to have guys step up. And if I get that opportunity (Tuesday), that's what I'm going to try to do."
Line juggling is nothing new to the Sharks. With Tomas Hertl expected to miss a significant amount of time with a knee injury and Marty Havlat out with a lower-body injury, McLellan for the last 10 days has consistently been trying to find four line combinations that work.
McLellan was pleased with how his third- and fourth-line players responded after Wingels' injury but said now it's a matter of maintaining that level.
"It's been a bit of a tough haul the last six or seven games with injuries," McLellan said. "With the shuffling of lines, power play and penalty kill, you look for people to graduate a little bit and take a little more on. That group has done a great job to this point.
"But as we move forward, they're going to have to keep that level of play where it is."
Wingels' unspecified injury comes when he was playing the best hockey of his career.
"Can't really put a time on it," Wingels said, "but I feel better today than I did yesterday, and we'll see how it goes tomorrow and the day after that."
Brown and Desjardins assisted on Kearns' goal, his first in the NHL, midway through the second period that gave the Sharks a 3-0 lead. The line might not completely replicate Wingels' offensive production but still can provide the same physical dimension and energy.
"If our line is playing the way we're supposed to -- a smart, reliable line -- then we're going to see the ice time," Brown said. "Tommy left the game pretty early, so it kind of made a gap for us to double shift onto that line.
"It's good to have the confidence from the coach that we can go out there as a fourth line and still produce and not be a liability out there."
Burish, who has been skating for the last two weeks, said there isn't a specific timetable for his return. But, like Raffi Torres, he would like to be back right around the Olympic break in February.

It's not quite ready yet, but when it's finished, artist Brent Christensen's ice castle in Silverthorne should be a sight to behold.
"I'd rather keep it veiled until it's done," he said Wednesday at the site, which is located on the lawn adjacent to the Silverthorne Pavilion.
The ice castle was scheduled to open this weekend, but work is only partially complete. There's still plenty of work to go to build 10-foot surrounding walls and towers that stretch 40 feet into the sky over three-quarters of an acre.
"The main obstacle right now is the weather," Christensen said, though he noted the Silverthorne site is significantly cooler than Midway, Utah, where he created the ice castles previously. In the two months the castle stood, it brought in about 24,000 people - a number Christensen expects to far exceed in Silverthorne.
The ice castle is a series of ice towers "organically grown simply by sprinkling water onto strategically-placed icicles," according to the artist's proposal. It's a new feature in Summit County this year.
"It's warmer than usual this year," he said. "We're fighting an uphill battle."
If weather patterns continue, Christensen's project may not open on Dec. 3, which is Plan B. It might be delayed further, and he recommended those who are waiting to see it to keep checking back.
When it's ready for entry, though, Christensen expects it to be majestic.
"Right when you come in, there's a tunnel and a courtyard," he said, describing how visitors can choose their way among towers and tunnels made entirely of ice.
"It's really cool being inside the ice," he said. "The color - it's super blue."
Once it gets cold, the walls that now rise roughly 4 feet off the ground will grow exponentially. The icicles supporting the towers will rise into the sky and the castle will be born. But it's never finished - at least not until the weather warms again and it begins to melt.
"Finished is the right word," Christensen said. "It'll keep growing into March."
Christensen hired a day crew of local workers and a night crew of mostly Arapahoe Basin employees who come after-hours. They grow anywhere between 4,000 and 8,000 icicles daily - though they can't put that many to work - that are clipped and moved to become the foundation for other icicles to grow and create the walls and towers. Christensen has a new design each year, and he plans to begin next year's conceptual design come the new year.
Christensen moved to Silverthorne with his family this year, and the ice castle is his main focus. He keeps it going because he can and because he enjoys being outside. And he's happy he selected Silverthorne because of its family atmosphere, even though he had the option of going to Breckenridge.
"The more we looked at Silverthorne and talked to them, this was it," he said, adding that he's been happy dealing with staff to get the castle going.
Ideally, nighttime temperatures would drop to 5 to 15 degrees, said the artist, because at 20 degrees, ice doesn't form as quickly. It helps when it snows, too, not because it helps with temperatures, but Christensen uses it as bonding material, somewhat like grout.
Christensen works among the ice whenever weather permits - it's his full-time job. And though he enjoys the process, he enjoys sharing it with others even more.
"If you can create something people enjoy, that's the best," he said. One of his favorite stories of his ice castle experiences was meeting an old Argentinean man who spoke no English.
He visited the ice castle with his fellow senior home residents, Christensen said. They got to chatting, in Spanish, and wandered through the castle.
"He just came alive," Christensen said, explaining that the man was in a depressive funk. "He was so animated and so thrilled."
"The elderly really enjoy it," he added. "They've been around awhile. To see something new they've never seen before is something unique."

Tallahassee, Florida - June 25, 2012 - 2:50pm -
Leon County Emergency Management is continuing to closely monitor the current weather situation related to Tropical Storm Debby and notes that continued heavy rainfall is expected over the next few days. A Flash Flood Warning is in effect for Southern Leon County until 4:45 p.m. Also, a Flash Flood Watch, in effect through Tuesday morning, and a Hazardous Weather Outlook have been issued for Leon County. Residents living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
Updates on official road closures can be found at the Leon County Emergency Information Portal (EIP) at www.LeonCountyFL.gov/ei/ . Any and all flood water should be considered to be contaminated. Do not allow children to play in, wade through or swim in flood water.
Leon County Emergency Management and Leon County Public Works announce that sandbagging operations have begun. Sandbags are available to the public at the following location (limit 20 bags):
• Apalachee Regional Park (in front of the Solid Waste Management Facility), 7550 Apalachee Parkway
This location will not be staffed and residents will need to bring their own shovel.
Sand, bags and ties will be available for public use. Residents are asked to abide by the "honor system" and take no more than 20 bags. Property owners who have experienced flooding problems in the past can use sandbags to help protect stormwater from entering their property. A flyer describing the most effective placement of sandbags will also be available at the site to assist residents as they prepare their homes and/or property for potential flooding.
The City of Tallahassee will also be providing sandbags to residents. Residents must bring their own shovels and be prepared to load sand into bags themselves. A 25-bag limit will apply at the City location. The City's sandbag distribution will be at:
• Messer Field South parking lot along Jackson Bluff Road; opposite the intersection with Dupree Street
Tallahassee, Florida - June 25, 2012 - 1:55pm -
Electric Utility
As of 1:30 p.m. the City has approximately 230 customers without electric service, typically in small groups of 5-10 customers scattered throughout the service area. Crews continue to respond and Electric Utility officials hope to have customers restored by later today. Customers still without power today are asked to report outages to City of Tallahassee Utilities at 891-4YOU (4968).
Sunday, power outages affected 14,550 City customers, including four circuits that were impacted by weather-related issues. Most customers had service restored by late Sunday night.
Public Works (including sandbag availability)
No City streets are currently closed due to flooding or downed trees. Overnight, City Public Works crews responded to 14 reports of downed trees; crews removed the trees from the road and are collecting debris today. Crews are also currently checking drainage systems to remove blockages.
For citizens wanting sandbags, the City is offering loose sand and bags at one City location – the Messer Field South parking lot along Jackson Bluff Road opposite the intersection with Dupree Street. Citizens must bring their own shovels and be prepared to fill bags themselves; customers are limited to 25 bags per household.
There were two cancelled flights yesterday at Tallahassee Regional Airport, along with several delays. While no flights have been cancelled today, additional delays have occurred. Passengers are reminded to contact their individual air carrier regarding flight schedules.
Solid Waste Services
Operating as normal today. Citizens are asked to place yard waste at the curb according to the City's guidelines: grass clippings, leaves, pine straw and shrub trimmings, placed in heavy duty trash bags or small cardboard boxes; and small limbs, no larger than 6 feet long and four inches in diameter, placed in piles no higher than four feet. Larger items must be taken to the Leon County landfill on Apalachee Parkway; if citizens use private tree service companies, the company must remove larger items including major limbs and tree trunks.
Otherwise, City services are being maintained today on a normal schedule, including StarMetro transit services. The City's Emergency Management team continues to monitor conditions and extra crews will remain on standby to respond as needed throughout this weather event.
Citizens are reminded not to drive on streets where water covers the surface. There could be deep water or potholes caused by the flooding. Police officers will issue citations to drivers ignoring road barricades. In addition, motorists are reminded to approach intersections where a traffic signal is not working as a four-way stop.

Storm victims can get housing help
Two HUD-backed programs available at City Hall to aid in recovery from tornado

TUSCALOOSA | Officials are reminding residents of the availability of two programs offered through City Hall to assist with replacing homes lost in the April 27, 2011, tornado.
Both programs are funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and they require recipients to meet a series of standards before the $5,000 allocations can be awarded.
The newest one is called the Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program. It began last year and is intended to assist those who lost their home in the storm or are trying to purchase a home within the designated tornado recovery zone.
Savannah Howell, community development program manager for the city's office of Recovery Operations, said documents are being finalized for the first recipient, and several others are in the application process.
"We offer it as a grant that will only have to be paid back if they're not in compliance with HUD regulations," Howell said. "And every applicant is going to be subject to the HUD income limits for Tuscaloosa County."
Those limits shift depending on a number of factors, including heads of household and the number of occupants for the house.
Additionally, these funds are available only to people looking to purchase or build a single-family home. Mobile homes or apartments do not qualify.
Recipients must be approved for a loan by a lending institution, and the property must be identified for the grant application to be approved.
The $5,000 can be used toward a down payment or closing costs. Recipients will be monitored for five years to ensure that HUD's requirements are met.
To fund the program, City Council set aside $500,000 of the $16.6 million in Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery funds awarded to the city in late 2011.
Another HUD program that has been around for years can also help storm victims, but it is available to any other resident as well.
The HOME program has many of the same rules as the Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program, but instead of a grant, it is a deferred loan.
Dora Drake, housing counseling supervisor for the city's Office of Federal Programs, said recipients will have to repay the $5,000 only if they sell the house, transfer the title or move from the property before the mortgage is paid off.
People seeking to buy or build a home can qualify, but they also must fall within HUD's income limits for Tuscaloosa County.
HOME program dollars can be used for a down payment, closing costs or as a means to reduce the principle balance.
The loan cannot be applied toward a mobile home.
For information on either program, contact City Hall at 205-248-5311.
For the Homebuyer Downpayment Assistance Program, ask for Recovery Operations.
For the HOME program, ask for the Office of Federal Programs.
