These are busy days for the committee having in charge the arrangements for the fancy dress ball to be given on Wednesday night by the music section of the Greater Medford club. Garlands of Christmas green are being prepared for the decorations and the Medford Hotel will present an alluring spectacle to the merrymakers on New Year's Eve.
The programs have been chosen and they are to be very dainty souvenirs, with the name of each musical selection given after the dance.
Many of the young people who are here for the holidays are planning to come to the ball and wear most amusing costumes. Uncle Sam announces that he will bring a Mexican dancer, and the emperor of Germany will accompany Martha Washington.
A real cowboy with gold spurs and a diamond ring to hold the folds of his solid silk neckerchief will put Dustin Farnum off the map.
The music section has worked very hard to make this ball a distinct affair and they desire the hearty cooperation of everyone in this undertaking. It is hoped that enough will be realized from this ball to procure the much-needed piano at once.
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 28 — Despite the fact that Mayor Albee has banned the drinking of liquor in all grills after 1:15 o'clock New Year's morning, the patrons, if not too hilarious, may dance. The dances must be performed on the floor, however, and not on the tables as in times gone by.
DENVER, Colo., Dec. 28 — Charles Willard Carlyle, a wealthy businessman and backer of a number of charitable schemes, pleaded guilty to mailing obscene letters today in the United States court here. The letters were addressed to Mrs. C.C. Willard of Berkeley, Calif.
Carlyle was indicted in 1912. He was fined $25 on each of two counts and assessed the costs amounting to $600. He made no defense, simply admitting that he wrote the letters and was ready to pay any fine fixed by the court.

The city of Santa Clara is frantically searching for soccer fields. With the new 49ers stadium set to open in August, it has decided that due to worries about traffic, the adjacent Youth Soccer Park needs to be supplemented with new sports fields as soon as possible. The heated question is, where should these new soccer fields go?
High on the list for City Council and staff is Ulistac Natural Area. This 40-acre park and native habitat area includes wetlands, oak grasslands and savanna, a bird and butterfly garden and hiking trails that connect to the Guadalupe River Trail.
The result of thousands of hours of restoration work by hundreds of volunteers and schoolchildren, Ulistac is unique in being the last remaining significant example of native valley floor habitat, as well as an important Ohlone cultural site.
Placing soccer fields -- likely made from artificial turf -- right in the middle of Ulistac would harm the entire 40-acre habitat area, not just the acres of trees and plants that would be cut down and dug up for the sports fields.
Fragmenting native habitat destroys its value to wildlife, since animals in the wild do not confine themselves to an isolated acre here and there; they need continuous natural land in which to find food and shelter.
It seems, however, that the City Parks and Recreation Department does not care about preserving Ulistac -- and destroying that habitat may be a done deal.
A recent phone poll sponsored by the city referred to Ulistac as an "underutilized area" when asking residents where new soccer fields should be located, clearly sending the message that the city thinks Ulistac is of little or no value.
At the April Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, Commissioner Tino Silva proposed voting immediately on moving the fields to Ulistac. Silva is a former president of the Santa Clara Youth Soccer League. The legal requirement to notify the public before the vote stopped the commission, but it could happen at the May 20 meeting.
A city with the resources of Santa Clara should be able to have both a beautiful, wild nature park and a state-of-the-art soccer park.
The only reason Ulistac is under threat now is the city's conviction that new soccer fields must be found within the next three months because traffic will make the existing fields near the 49ers' stadium unusable on NFL game days. But the traffic situation at Ulistac will be little better. It's just a few blocks from the stadium and also will be severely affected by the traffic.
To wantonly destroy Ulistac would affect the quality of life of Santa Clara residents far more than having to wait a few months longer for additional soccer fields.
Youth sports are a fundamental part of a community, and there is no question that Santa Clara needs enough sports fields to accommodate the community's needs. However, if the city chooses to turn Ulistac into a soccer field, there will be nothing like the preserve left in Santa Clara, or anywhere else in Silicon Valley. It is an irreplaceable park of inestimable value to both the community and the environment.
It would be irresponsible to destroy it in haste.
Alice Kaufman is legislative advocate for the Committee for Green Foothills and a former resident of Santa Clara. She wrote this for this newspaper.

Hazy Hot & HumidUPDATED 12:34 PM EDT Jun 17, 2014
The heat index this afternoon will be between 95 and 100 degrees as temperatures climb into the 90s for the first time this year.Video Transcript
A Bermuda High off the Eastern Seaboard will act like a big heat pump all week, bringing in hot temperatures and plenty of humidity. Under the influence of high pressure, skies will remain mostly sunny Tuesday and Wednesday leading to highs in the 90s, however that doesn't last. By late week, the threat for showers and storms will give us just enough cloud cover to keep most temperatures in the upper 80s however with the humidity sky high, it will still feel uncomfortable. With storm chances as well as high temperatures and humidity in the forecast later this week, we will have to be on the look out for scattered strong batches of storms. Way to far out to pin anything down, but the potential for a few strong rounds of storms, possibly nocturnal, later this week will have to be watched. WE'RE TAKING ANOTHER LOOK AT OUR

We developed a Tandem system using a pair of ionization chambers (a cylindrical and a parallel-plate type) to perform X-ray measurements in a medical Institution, in substitution of the routine conventional procedure of determination of half-values layers using absorbers. The results obtained indicate the possibility of application of this method in dosimetric procedures of orthovoltage beams (radiotherapy) as a complementary procedure in a quality control program.

It's a day to say thanks for one of the most thank-less jobs around...being a mom.
Some unsuspecting mothers ended up spending their Mother's Day in the delivery room.
Every mother we spoke to at University Hospital on Sunday told us their new bundle of joy came as a nice little surprise for the holiday weekend.
Through it all, moms always manage to set aside their own needs...even on Mother's Day.
For Emily fFgins, it's a day filled with firsts and many more to come. For the pros like Lori, who already has a set of six-year-old twins and a three-year-old, each time always feels like a first.
They couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day gift.
23 babies were born over the weekend at University Hospital. That's twice the number compared to last year.

Foxconn P67 Rattler Review
Up Close
Published: 25th May 2011 | Source: Foxconn | Price: £149.99 |
Up Close
The packaging for the Rattler is exceptionally sturdy. It's great to see a change from some fantasy figure on the box too. Whilst I'm sure it's entirely unintentional, those of an older generation will remember the insanely famous dragsters Mongoose and Snake, so the use of Rattler for a Mustang makes perfect sense to me, and maybe anyone else who had a Hot Wheels collection.
The accessories come in an equally sturdy box with a big Foxconn logo emblazoned upon it. It contains everything you'd expect to find from Molex to SATA power adaptors, the IO Shield, manuals etc.
Here is the board in all its glory. Yes another red and black affair but thankfully devoid of any jarring white connectors. Even the fan headers are black. As you'd expect from a company that produces all these parts, no compromise has been made in keeping the colour theme across the entire board.
The muscle car motif is adhered to in the heatsink design too. The power-phase cooling doing its best V8 impression.

just from a aesthetic point of view it looks like a rampage rip-off,,, and a rather cheap one at that
Not a bad idea, because I know alot of builders who choose the rampage just for the scheme. I wish I had money to burn like that. Id probably have the assassin by now.
I would personally say on the ROG knock off style the asrock fatality board does great job also its a better board though tbh the sabertooth for price to performance its pretty unbeatable. Not to say the asrock board is bad my friend has one has good features for the price.

The Seagulls are unbeaten in their last four matches despite a casualty list which has included key players such as Andrea Orlandi, Kazenga LuaLua, Liam Bridcutt, Craig Mackail-Smith, Kemy Agustien and Leonardo Ulloa.
But Bridcutt made his first appearance since August in Saturday's 3-0 win over Blackburn and fellow midfielders Orlandi and Agustien are edging closer to fitness ahead of the trip to Wigan on November 23.
"It is good timing for us because despite being on a good run, we do need the time to recover some players," Garcia said.
"I hope we may be able to get two or three back and available for selection against Wigan, and I am looking forward to when I am able to select the best 11 from a full squad.
"All of the players are working very hard to do everything that I ask of them and when we have a complete squad we will be able to play much better."

Timothy Bradley: Who was that guy who fought Ruslan Provodnikov on Saturday in Carson, Calif.? It wasn't the calculating boxer we've seen in the past, the one who used his skills and athleticism to outpoint Manny Pacquiao in his controversial last fight. This guy was reckless, which gave the fans a fight-of-the-year candidate but nearly cost Bradley a fight he ultimately won by a close decision. Was it lack of motivation that altered his DNA? Bradley didn't expect to fight a relative unknown after beating Pacquiao. Was it overconfidence? He might've thought of Provodnikov as beneath his class. Or was it simply a matter of getting caught early in the fight by a big puncher? I suspect it was mostly the last explanation. Bradley (30-0, 12 knockouts) was hurt toward the end of the first round and was never quite himself after that. We should give the Bradley who emerged under these difficult circumstances his due, though. The resilience and courage he demonstrated – he was out on his feet multiple times but somehow survived – was breathtaking. The unfortunate part is that he might pay a price. As one expert observer put it the night of the fight, "He made a lot of fans tonight, but there's no way that fight didn't take a few years off of his career."
Ruslan Provodnikov: We can understand why Provodnikov (22-2, 15 KOs) was so devastated after the fight on Saturday. To give absolutely everything you have and believe fervently that you did enough to win only to come up short on the scorecards is heartbreaking. The Russian needn't be so disappointed, though; if a fighter ever was victorious in defeat, it was Provodnikov on Saturday. He went into the fight as a little-known Russian and emerged as a compelling warrior who punched his way into the hearts of those who witnessed his effort against Bradley. He instantly became must-see TV. Provodnikov isn't a great boxer, although he has solid skills, and might've benefitted from Bradley's relative lack of punching power but his fighting spirit is infectious. Bradley's brain was rattled but he wasn't far off the mark in his assessment of Provodnikov after the fight: "This guy is a power puncher, a great warrior. I take my hat off to him. He'll beat any 140- and 147-pounder out there. He's the real deal." I don't know if he'd beat any junior welterweight or welterweight but few if any who fight him will emerge from the ring without going through hell.
Vargas vs. Omotoso: Jessie Vargas and Wale Omotoso gave the fans a fight almost the equal of the main event Saturday in Carson. I thought that Josesito Lopez was too strong for Vargas when they fought in 2011. Vargas won a split decision. I thought Omotoso, who outweighed Vargas by 10 pounds when they stepped into the ring, also was too strong for the Las Vegan. Vargas won a close, but unanimous decision. The kid is tougher than some of us realize even if his lack of punching power remains a liability. Vargas (22-0, 9 KOs) came out too aggressively early in the fight and paid a price; he went down in the second round. After that, he relied more on his boxing ability and less on bravado, and seemed to outwork Omotoso (23-1, 19 KOs) the rest of the way, although he nearly stopped the Nigerian in a wild fifth round. Omotoso got in his licks, landing hard punches throughout, but in my opinion didn't do enough to win. Vargas is knocking on the door of a Top 10 ranking. And Omotoso didn't hurt his credibility. Everyone won on Saturday – Vargas, Omotoso and the fans.
IBF junior flyweight titleholder John Riel Casimero (18-2, 10 KOs) of the Philippines pulled off a difficult feat by easily outpointing Luis Alberto Rios (18-2-1, 13 KOs) in Rios' hometown of Panama City on Saturday. … Robert Marroquin (23-2, 16 KOs) bounced back from a one-sided loss to Guillermo Rigondeaux in September by stopping Antonio Escalante (28-6, 19 KOs) in three rounds Saturday in Thackerville, Okla. Marroquin remains one to watch.

Maybe marshall isn't available. Thats the only thing that makes sense. Even then you don't let latos pitch to Ankiel.
I draw the line at being here where people are wishing bodily harm to happen to players or coaches. I know it's upsetting that we're tied again but seriously, that's not right.

Marty and Brantley are both suggesting that Marshall probably isn't available today. No clue why, but they're guessing that somethings' wrong based on the situation.
I agree it was a stupid idea to leave Latos in (whoever's idea it was)
But can we seriously stop with the "every loss is Dusty's fault, every win is a win in spite of his managing"
HeatherC1212 (05-22-2013)
Look, I have to say I think you're all wrong to blame Dusty, and I'm no Baker apologist.
There are a lot of people on this forum that insist Latos is our ace. At worst he's 1B. He's having a great year. He was having a good game. He'd given up2 runs thru 6. He was at 87 pitches. He had a 2/1 k/ball ratio. YOU RUN HIM OUT FOR THE 7TH EVERY TIME.
You can make the argument that you pull him against Ankiel, but saying you don't let him start the inning has the benefit of hindsight.

The General Assembly enacted legislation in 1960 authorizing Rhode Island cities and towns to establish Conservation Commissions. The Town Council first established the South Kingstown Conservation Commission on March 4, 1961.
The South Kingstown Conservation Commission also serves as the Town Tree Board as well as the On-site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS) Commission.
Advisory Functions:
The Advisory duties of the Conservation Commission, pursuant to 1960 Public Law, Chapter 203, are as follows:
1. To promote and develop natural resources to protect watershed resources, and to preserve natural aesthetic areas.
2. To conduct research into local land areas and to coordinate the activities of unofficial bodies organized for similar purposes, and to advertise, prepare, print and distribute books, maps, charts, plans and pamphlets which in its judgment are deemed necessary for its work.
3. To recommend to the Town Council and to other municipal boards and agencies a program for the better promotion, development, utilization or preservation of open areas, streams, shores, wooded areas, roadsides, swamps, marshlands and natural aesthetic areas.
4. To work with organizations such as, but not limited to, the South Kingstown Land Trust, toward the goals of natural resource protection and open space designation.
The Conservation Commission should adopt rules of conduct and hold annual elections for officers.
Decisions and recommendations by the Conservation Commission should be made within the discipline of good conservation practice, unfettered by concern for legal or other considerations.
The Conservation Commission meets regularly on the first Wednesday of the month. Staff assistance is provided by the Senior Planner and the Planning Department.

Biden Says He and Obama Are Extremely Close
(NEW YORK) -- Joe Biden sat for a wide-ranging interview published in the latest issue of Rolling Stone magazine in which the vice president answered questions on a variety of domestic and international issues while speaking candidly about his close relationship with President Obama.
Indeed, it might be Biden's openness about his business and personal dealings with the president that garners most of the attention.
Biden says that he and his boss see eye-to-eye on virtually all issues and that when the two are together in Washington, he'll spend "four-to-five hours a day with him, every single day" while attending all policy meetings.
It's because of this deep friendship that Biden says he feels comfortable speaking for Obama. When Biden caught flack last year for asserting his support for same-sex marriage before the president had done so, Biden said Obama told him, "'Well, Joe, God love you, you say what you think.' I knew he agreed with me."
But it's not all business. Biden tells Rolling Stone that he and the president will devote time each day just to chat about anything, including their wives and families. Conceding their styles are different, Biden nevertheless says they're always on the same page.
Meanwhile, Rolling Stone interviewer Doug Brinkley speculates that if Biden decides to run for president in 2016, which may be dependent on whether Hillary Clinton gets into the race, he'll run on Obama's record, suggesting that's why Biden has formed such a close bond with the president.

5th title in Dubai
Roger showed a great display today to defeat Andy Murray 7-5, 6-4 in the final to secure his fifth title in Dubai and his 72nd career title.
"It's beautiful winning this" Roger said. "I've had a great start to the season, and a great finish to last season, so I hope I can keep it up. But there are a lot of guys who are going to play tremendous as well."
It has been a tight opening set and both players were in excellent condition. A break in game no. eleven was just enough to take the opening set after 52 minutes. In the second set, Roger scored an early break to take a 3-1 lead but Murray responded with a re-break shortly after. After another break on Murray's serve at 4-4 Roger was then able to serve out the match, which he did with his second matchball - winning the Dubai trophy for the fifth time.
Next up is the BNP Paribas Showdown in New York on Monday where Roger will play Andy Roddick.
with love Juli
Roger por favor ven a Mexico aca queremos verte tienes muchos admiradores.
I hope the momentum carries you to glorious success in the Americas...We'll be waiting for you in Indian Wells and Miami. Keep the faith !!!
thank you for the joy and tons of love !
Lots of love
You are the only person who play so well although over 30. Your serve and backhand are improving.
Good luck for the next tournament.

WASHINGTON - Federal lawmakers from West Virginia expressed a need for the federal government to remain operational and avoid a shutdown.
The Affordable Care Act, commonly referred to as "Obamacare," is the apparent linchpin to determine how things will proceed.
U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., said the Senate has moved forward with a bipartisan continuing resolution, while House Republicans are continuing to play games with the nation's economy.
''Sadly, we've been here before, on the brink of a government shutdown that risks putting West Virginians and our fragile economic recovery in jeopardy,'' Rockefeller said. ''A non-functioning government will have very real effects on the American people. In some cases they'll be very hurtful.
''We do an extraordinary disservice to every West Virginian and every American who relies on the services our government provides by refusing to compromise. We must not go down this road again and risk disrupting the everyday lives of our families and our businesses because of political gamesmanship and posturing."
U.S. Rep. David B. McKinley, R-W.Va., recently returned to Washington, D.C., at the request of House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, to be available for crucial votes to keep the government running while fighting against the President's health care law, which he called "unworkable."
McKinley said he canceled meetings, town hall events and roundtables in the district to come back to the nation's capital and work on these issues. The House will likely be voting Saturday and Sunday.
"The ball is in the Senate's court," McKinley said. "The House passed legislation to keep the government running through Dec. 15 and defund Obamacare. It's time for (Sen.) Harry Reid and the Senate to step up to the plate and make tough decisions. The American people have overwhelmingly told us Obamacare is costing jobs and increasing health care costs for families," McKinley said.
"The House is standing up for Americans while working to defund, delay or dismantle the President's failed health care law," said McKinley. "We are ready to respond to what Harry Reid and the Democratic leadership send back.
"In the meantime, we will pass a debt limit increase tied to reforms that will help our economy, including a one-year delay of Obamacare. The House passed legislation last week to keep the government running and defund Obamacare and is waiting now on the Senate to act,'' McKinley said.
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he has had concerns over the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and the cost and choices West Virginians will have in the health care exchanges, as well as opposing the individual mandate.
''That being said, I do not believe that this issue should be used to shut down the government, and I will not vote to shut down the government,'' Manchin said. ''We need to work together as Americans to solve these problems so we can get our economy back on track and create American jobs."

About the Book
"[Freeman is] an excellent storyteller."
—Sports Illustrated
The 1972 Miami Dolphins, under the expert leadership of legendary coach Don Shula, remain to this day the only team in the National Football League ever to enjoy a perfect season with no defeats and no ties. Now, 40 years after sports history was made, acclaimed sports writer Mike Freeman celebrates the Dolphins' singular achievement in Undefeated. A riveting story filled with heartbreaking injuries, miraculous finishes, and tested relationships—featuring a roster of gridiron greats, including Bob Griese, Earl Morrall, Larry Csonka, Paul Warfield, Mercury Morris, Nick Buoniconti and others—Undefeated follows a underdog team on its remarkable run: 14 regular season victories, 2 postseason wins, and a Super Bowl championship. It is a book no football fan will want to miss.
Undefeated explores the Miami Dolphins' legendary 1972 season, the only perfect season in NFL history, and the journey to the championship—a story of heartbreaking injuries, miraculous finishes, and tested relationships.
Coach Don Shula transformed the team—through hard work, long practices, and his no-nonsense attitude toward the game—from a laughingstock expansion team, where careers went to die, into a championship franchise. Led by such greats as Larry Csonka, Bob Griese, Nick Buoniconti, Larry Little, Mercury Morris, and Jake Scott—the Dolphins were undefeated in the regular season and went on to win Super Bowl VII, in one of the greatest feats of toughness, perseverance, and discipline the NFL has ever seen.
Based on years of research and interviews, Undefeated examines what is perhaps the single greatest accomplishment in team sports history: the unforgettable NFL season in which the Dolphins never lost a single game. There has never been a football team like those Miami Dolphins, and there may never be again.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"A marvelous, engrossing trip back to a period when football was played with love and passion and the Miami Dolphins were not merely fantastic, but unstoppable. Mike Freeman is one of the nation's best sports writers, and he proves it once again here. A dazzling read." — Jeff Pearlman, author Sweetness: The Enigmatic Life of Walter Payton
"An entertaining and meticulous journey back in time, illuminating the men and personalities who, in some cases, are as memorable as the team's 17-0 record." — Jim Trotter, Sports Illustrated
"A richly-detailed and riveting account of one of the great accomplishments in the history of American sports. It's a book that's just as good as the team it chronicles." — Christine Brennan, USA Today columnist, ABC News commentator, author, Best Seat in the House
"Well researched and fast paced, UNDEFEATED reveals the psyche of the only unbeaten team in the history of the NFL. Untold stories from the locker rooms, meeting rooms, and on the field are placed in the historical context of the unsettled seventies. Lest we forget - no names, no more." — Andrea Kremer, multi Emmy award winning journalist and HBO Real Sports correspondent
"In this homage to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, Freeman's classic book will enthrall readers with the extraordinary story of a team that went through 14 regular season games and two playoff games to capture Super Bowl VII." — Publishers Weekly

DOHA: Residents, businesses and visitors at the wholesale market and Fish Market in Abu Hamour will soon benefit from an extensive programme to overhaul the drainage system in the area.
While the area has developed significantly over the years, the infrastructure needed has not and as a consequence, the wholesale market and Fish Market have continued to suffer storm water overflows in the wintertime and an inefficient septic tank sewerage system.
An additional problem is that waste water from the area has high concentration of salt, making it unsuitable to be discharged into the existing system of public sewers.
To solve these issues and provide better services to residents and visitors, Public Works Authority (Ashghal) has started work on a major infrastructure project to provide surface water drainage and a new foul-water system.
The project also includes the demolition of the existing pumping station and the construction of a new pre-treatment facility and connection to the nearby foul mains network to enable treatment of the high-salt-concentrated water before discharging it. The project is part of a wider proposal by the Ministry of Municipality and Urban Planning for the upgrade and renovation of the Fish Market to improve services provided for the public visiting the wholesale markets.
Along with being a vibrant, commercial fish market that plays a pivotal role in promoting local fish production, the market is part of the daily life in Doha and an important destination for consumers and tourists.
As part of the project, Ashghal will also design, build, test and commission a new storm water drainage system, where water will be collected in a catchment area of 8,000 square metres designed to manage the rainwater drainage for existing and future developments.
Ashghal has made good progress on the project so far, with recently completing the sewerage and storm water drainage networks in and around the Fish Market area.
The works comprise 38 percent of the project which will cost QR18.5m and is estimated to be completed in Q2 of 2015.
Development of drainage and sewerage networks in Fish Market is one of Ashghal's local roads and drainage projects to develop, improve and enhance infrastructure facilities to meet Qatar's demand for urban development.

Canes Activate Erik Cole from Injured Reserve
Bayda reassigned to Albany
RALEIGH, NC— Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has activated winger Erik Cole from injured reserve. To make room for Cole on the roster, the team reassigned left wing Ryan Bayda to the Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League, the Hurricanes' top minor-league affiliate.
Cole, 29, has missed Carolina's four games from Nov. 14-21, after being removed from the ice on a stretcher when he sustained a neck injury in the Hurricanes' game at Florida on Nov. 12. The Oswego, NY, native is in his sixth NHL season and has scored three goals and earned nine assists (12 points) in 14 games this season.
Bayda, 26, was recalled to Carolina on Nov. 9 and played in three games during his recall. The Saskatoon, Sask., native has played in seven games with the Hurricanes this season.

This is a truly hard-to-find collector 10X KC Pro Eagle that`s a CE Hybrid, which means it was a transition run where thefactory was running out of Pro plastic and they supplemented it with a percentage of Champion Edition Plastic. As far as we can tell the disc has never been thrown before and is in practically perfect condition, the only irregularity is what feels like 2 bits of sand embedded in the bottom of the wing - undoubtedly some dirt form the mold. Despite this, the disc is not an x-out and doesn`t show any signs of aging. Very glossy and vivid.
Now, in case you`re wondering, this disc is dreamy with just enough Pro Plastic in it to give the top plate a little give. Otherwise it is somewhat stiff with a nice flat top plate. It is the original "X" Mold that tends to be a bit more overstable.
Awesome colorfast Sunshine Tye Dye Pattern.

Savor the flavors of everyday real food, fresh from the garden or stored on your pantry shelves.
By Sue Van Slooten
dough whisk, King Arthur Flour, Sue Van Slooten, bread making, winner, pizza, Sue Van Slooten
We have a winner for the King Arthur dough whisk, and congratulations and a whisk go to Dea Keen, of Salisbury, MD. I am featuring her pizza dough recipe below, which she will use her new whisk to mix up with. I had great fun with this contest, and hopefully will come up with more exciting ideas in the future. I also want to thank King Arthur Flour for their kind cooperation and donation of the whisk. Also, many thanks go to all our other entrants and their recipes. I notice quite a few like the Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day for their bread, and I agree completely. Without further adieu, here is Dea's Pizza Dough recipe:
Pizza Dough
* 1 tablespoon active dry yeast, or 1 oz (25 g) brewer's yeast * 1 1/2 cups (350 cc) warm water * 3 1/2 cups (500 g) flour * 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil * pinch of salt * 1 clove of garlic (minced) * 1 tbsp of oregano
1. Sprinkle yeast in warm water. Stir to dissolve.
2. Pour sifted flour into a large bowl. Mix salt, garlic and oregano into flour.
3. Add a crater to the center of the mixture. Add yeast/water mix and olive oil to the flour.
4. Incorporate ingredients with dough whisk.
5. Sprinkle flour on work surface and knead dough until elastic. (7 to 10 minutes)
6. Spread olive oil around the sides of a large plastic bowl (should be enough room for dough to double in size).
7. Add dough and cover with kitchen towel. Let sit in warm area for 1 to 2 hours (until dough doubles in size).
8. Punch dough down.
9. On lightly floured surface, cut dough into 3 equal size pieces.
10. Using a rolling pin and your hands, stretch dough into 12-inch size circles.
11. Add toppings.
12. Bake on middle rack at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 35 to 45 minutes (depending on amount of cheese and veggie toppings).

Cameron Hits At New EU Building
By Nicholas Winning
U.K. prime ministers are traditionally not fans of European Union largesse, and David Cameron is no exception. He said Friday that, although he was a practical and positive person when it comes to European matters, it was immensely frustrating to see a "great glossy brochure" about the European Council's new building, which is due to open in 2014.
"You do wonder whether these institutions actually get what every country and what every member of the public is having to go through as we cut budgets and try and make our finances add up," he told reporters after taking part in a two-day meeting of EU leaders in the Justus Lipsius building – the home of the Council since the mid-1990s.
The new building – which European Council President Herman van Rompuy wants to call "Europa"– is under construction next door to Justus Lipsius. It promises to meet the security and functional requirements of high-level summits and give journalists more space to work. But the British prime minister is happy with the current building.
"I have only been in this building seven times in the last year, but it seems to me to do a perfectly good job of housing the European Council: the microphones work, there's plenty of room, we can fit many more people in the great room where we all sit around and discuss, and the food isn't bad either," Mr. Cameron said.
The new council building will also feature environmentally friendly, energy-saving technology–with recycled rain water and solar panels on the roof. Cameron said he pressed his EU counterparts that that's not the only saving that should be made, although he conceded the money had already been spent on the new building.
"I just wanted to press my colleagues even at this late stage, can we please try and do this [building] with economy and efficiency recognizing that every country in Europe is having to take those steps," he said.
UPDATE: A paragraph on the Europa building, contained in drafts of the summit communique, was absent from the final version.

Stability Operations Capabilities
What is it? Stability Operations is defined by the Department of Defense (DoD) Directive 3000.05, "Military Support for Stabilization, Security, Transition, and Reconstruction Operations", as: "Military and civilian activities conducted across the spectrum from peace to conflict to establish and maintain order in States and regions." Stability operations in 2005 emerged of as a mission area for DoD, the U.S. Government (USG), our multinational partners, international organizations and non-governmental organizations.
What has the Army done? The Department of State established the Office of the Coordinator for Reconstruction and Stabilization to enhance USG capacity to respond to crises involving failed, failing, and post-conflict states and complex emergencies. The Army and the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) support this effort with personnel and staff assistance. DoD Directive 3000.05 directs a broad DoD-wide effort to improve stability operations capability and supports the development of USG capacity to plan for the execution of stability operations. The Army has undertaken several initiatives to improve Army capability and capacity to conduct stability operations, many of which correspond to the Service responsibilities in DoD Directive 3000.05. Several USG agencies, including the U.S. Agency for International Development, OSD, the Joint Staff and the Army are considering, or have already established offices to posture themselves to better manage broad stability operations and international security force efforts. Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations established a Stability Operations Office and the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, Combined Arms Center at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas will host the Joint Center for International Security Force Assistance.
For more additional information on Stability Operations Capabilities
For more information on this and other topics see Addendum J in the Army Posture Statement.
Program for Soldiers to Earn $1,000 Referral Bonus Expanded

Welcome, Mr. Mejias
As I opened the door to my little room, I was greeted by the distinct buzz of television electricity. I wondered if someone was inside, waiting for me.
No such luck, but I found something similarly delightful: A friendly greeting from the hotel, in charming, 8-bit glory.

text: Hi everyone, I found another Ross' Goose today in Rice County. This time, it was a single bird on Sakatah Lake, which is in western Rice Co. There is open water here where CR 99 crosses between Upper and Lower Sakatah Lake. I'm not sure if this could be the same bird seen by me in Faribault on 3/26. I also found a large flock of Greater White-fronted Geese, probably between 120 - 150 in Waseca County. These were in a wetland on the east side of CR 10, NE of the town of Waseca. This wetland is totally open and it was PACKED with a large variety of waterfowl. There was a single Blue-phase Snow Goose present as well as a Wilson's Snipe. Six FOY's today= Bufflehead Cooper's Hawk Snow Goose Wilson's Snipe Belted Kingfisher & Brown-headed Cowbird.

Motivating Your Family to Adopt Healthy Habits continued...
Be willing to sacrifice. Your family will need to let go of some well-loved but unhealthy habits to make room for the new healthier ones. For example, you may miss your nightly ice cream, but after a while you will grow to love your perfect piece of fruit. You may find it hard to say good-bye to a favorite TV show, but you and your kids will never regret spending an hour making a healthy dinner or taking a walk around the neighborhood.
Be creative. Even after you've found a great lifestyle for family fitness, things can get boring, so don't be afraid to mix it up. Be flexible and open to new ideas -- and involve the whole family.
"We all have more buy-in when we get to be a part of the change," Hoefs tells WebMD. Giving kids a choice helps them feel they're part of the process. "The motivation is in what we want to become -- in that picture of being healthy."

Amber's first burst of grassiness and greenery gently gives way to spice, revealing a warm and earthy base of wood and balmy ambergris beneath.
A crisp and invigorating top note of citrus leading into the delightful coconut hit of the gorse flower and a spicy suggestion of cardomon – it's summer in a scent.
In this fresh, cool fragrance from the seashore, juniper and verbena come together with lavender, basil and rosemary on a base of white amber and oak moss.
The new fragrance form Laboratory Perfumes is an exotic and enticing blend of mandarin and pink peppercorn, with spicy woodland base notes and, of course, earthy vanilla aromas of the tonka bean.

BRISTOL — Bristol Elementary School students will be the first to tell you that a 21st-century education is not just about the reading, writing and arithmetic. These kids are computer programmers, too.
Every student, from kindergarten through sixth grade, for the last week took part in computer coding lessons taught by Bristol Elementary librarian Kyra Ginalski and Gillian McGarvey, a parent who works in the technology sector.

MIDDLEBURY — It was in 1993 that the late Bill Kenerson had grown so frustrated in his attempts to find good quality bow ties that he decided to make them himself. So he and his wife, Deborah Venman, set up a room in their home for the production of ties under name "Beau Ties Ltd. of Vermont."
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Lt. Gov. Phil Scott on Tuesday warned that the 2015 legislative session will be dominated by tough financial decisions and he sees little opportunity for debate on such issues as the legalization of marijuana.
FERRISBURGH — After a second potential buyer pulled out, the Ferrisburgh selectboard has put the town's 34.91-acre parcel next to Vergennes back on the market, four years after the board originally sought a buyer.
Town officials remain upset with the Act 250 process and a new law that prompted auto dealer Tom Denecker to walk away from a $350,000 deal to buy the land.
MIDDLEBURY — About 40 Middlebury College students on this past Wednesday evening took part in a "die-in" to raise awareness about police oppression of minority groups.
The event was organized by freshmen Kizzy Joseph and Elizabeth Dunn, and senior Molly Stuart. The trio said the impetuses for the die-in were the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner — black men who died at the hands of police in Missouri and New York, respectively.
MIDDLEBURY — After having decorated the Middlebury Community House for the holidays for many years, this year the Middlebury Garden Club decorated the Ilsley Library with the thought that more people would get to enjoy the decorations.
The Better Middlebury Partnership donated the two beautiful wreaths hung on the two large pillars in front of the library. Doug Sinclair of the Sinclair Family Tree Farm donated an enormous tree, which is decorated in red and gold with the theme "The Holidays Take Flight."
MIDDLEBURY — After a pre-Thanksgiving storm brought heavy snowfall on the busiest travel day of the year, Addison County was again smacked by a two-day storm. This past Tuesday and Wednesday saw more than a foot of freezing rain and heavy snow fall on Vermont, knocking out power for thousands, impeding travel and prompting cancelation of schools for two or three days.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Tuesday gave its legislative delegation a brief but sharply worded wish list for the 2015 session: Give us a rotary at the intersection of Route 7 and Exchange Street, along with education finance reform.
The board conveyed that message to the four Democratic lawmakers taking part in the meeting: Sen. Christopher Bray of New Haven, Sen. Claire Ayer of Addison, Rep. Betty Nuovo of Middlebury, and Rep.-elect Amy Sheldon of Middlebury.
BRISTOL — About 20 members of the Bristol Fire Department crammed into the basement of Holley Hall Monday evening to hear how the selectboard planned to fix their crumbling headquarters on North Street.
Firefighters expressed a general sense of frustration that the town has not yet approved a plan for a new firehouse structure, and that the current firehouse does not meet the needs of the department.
MIDDLEBURY — It was New Year's Eve 1998 when Cheryl Barrows got her first taste of heroin.
"I met this 'wonderful' guy in Rutland who put a needle in my arm and said, 'This is wonderful stuff,'" recalled Barrows. "I looked out of the window, saw a pink cloud and my pain was gone. I felt nothing."

Roger eases through
10.06.2010 | Tennis
Roger cruised into the quarter-finals of the Gerry Weber Open in Halle by defeating Alejandro Falla of Colombia 6-1, 6-2 today.
Roger needed just 52 minutes against Falla, dominating the match in all situations and scoring breaks at regular intervals. He has certainly proved that he has adjusted to the surface very well. He conceded just two break points in today's match on centre court but saved both of them.
Roger will now play Philipp Kohlschreiber in the last eight after the German's 6-4, 7-5 victory over Roger's countryman Marco Chiudinelli. Roger has won all four matches against the German - three of which were played on grass (one of them being the final in Halle in 2008).
Well done. Good luck against Kohlschreiber.
All the best,
All the best,
Congratulation my friend!! Come on come on come you can do it!! You are the best!

'Gangnam Style' Vs 'One Pound Fish'!
While PSY's 'Gangnam Style' has hit over 900 million mark, an unbeatable world record, at least, in our life time, a new contender has come to the scene which has already over 5 million views in You Tube.This dark horse too is from an Asian but not from a recognized artist.
A Pakistani immigrant to the United Kingdom from the town of Pattoki Kasur in Punjab, Pakistan, Muhammad Shahid Nazir, who has since settled in East London, began work on a fish stall at Queen's Market, Upton Park where his employer instructed him to use a trader's call to attract customers.
He soon composed the song 'One Pound Fish' …it goes 'Come on ladies, come on ladies; One pound fish'. It became an instant internet smash after a passing customer, Colin Miller, uploaded a video of Nazir, onto You Tube. A music video to accompany the release of 'One Pound Fish' was first released onto You Tube on December 10, 2012. Since then it has already hit over 5 million views in the You Tube.
Now 'One Pound Fish' has become a strong contender for the Christmas number one spot, in UK, competing with so many other already established artists. One of the well-known bookmakers, William Hill is quoting a long odd of 33/1 for Nazir at the moment. However, a leading London daily says that 'to put things in perspective, he is twice as likely as Justin Bieber to take the top spot and four times as likely as Sir Cliff Richard'.
Who will be the number one this time? Just have a go for the 'One Pound Fish' man, the dark horse for the coveted award! Good luck Nazir!!

SIKESTON -- They know what it feels like now.
They've experienced great success and want nothing more than to repeat it.
The Sikeston Bulldogs soccer team broke numerous solo and team records last season and set new heights inside their own program. The most wins, most shutouts, and most goals in one game from an individual are all school records that fell.
They also won the school's first postseason game ever as well as their first district championship since 2005.
"Once you taste some of that success, it's something you don't want to go without," Sikeston head coach Doyle Noe said. "We want to get back to that level and hopefully get better as the year goes on and make another run."
Although he's proud of what his team accomplished just a season ago, Noe wants his Bulldogs to be more than just a one-trick pony.
"You try to move forward. You don't want to live in the past," he said. "Obviously, last year was a great year for us, but the great teams can do that more than once. We want to sustain that level and try to take it a step further."
And they have the personnel to do it.
The Bulldogs, who were a record-setting 20-5 last season, will have speed to burn on both ends of the field. They return their leading goal-scorer, Brandon Goodwin, as well as the bulk of an already stout defense that set the school record for shutouts in a season last year.
"We're going to be very athletic -- a very strong and aggressive team," Noe said. "I think we have a good mix of everything."
Goodwin burst onto the scene last season as a junior.
Following an injury to freshman starter Tyler McClinton, Goodwin seized the voided starting position and never looked back.
"It was a nice surprise. I knew he was a solid player, but I didn't quite see him where he is now," Noe said. "We're looking for him to be our key scorer going into this season."
Goodwin led the team with 27 goals, including seven in one game -- a school record -- last season.
Although, Goodwin will be without his running-mate and team captain last season, Hunter Williams.
Williams was a dynamic player for the Bulldogs a season ago scoring 26 goals and adding another 21 assists. Goodwin took a lot of the pressure off of Williams, who was keyed upon by opposing defenses, constantly.
"You're going to miss all the goals he scored and all of the things he was able to do," Noe said "But I think it just opens up the door for other guys to step up."
Goodwin, a senior, will be at the forefront of an aggressive and speedy top half of the offense along with McClinton at the other forward position.
McClinton will be another capable scoring threat for the Bulldogs. The sophomore is a speedy player who can whip around defenders just as easily as beating them down the field in a foot race.
"You can't teach speed or quickness. That's a great weapon to go along with a great shot," Noe said about McClinton. "I have high expectations for Tyler. This year he's going to have to step into more of a key role and I think he's capable of doing that.
"We're going to come at guys with a lot of speed with Tyler and Brandon up top," Noe added. "They look to shoot and score quite a bit. We're going to take it at other teams."
Defensively is where the Bulldogs' biggest advantage may lie.
Although they lost goalie Michael Gipson to graduation, Noe may have found a viable replacement.
Josh Hampton, who was a defenseman last season, will step into the keeper role to try and duplicate Gipson's success. Gipson, who is currently playing soccer for Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., set the school-record for shutouts and wins as a goalie.
"He's a heck of an athlete -- very similar to Mike," Noe said about Hampton. "Josh was a key defender for me last year. He's a big, strong, athletic, fearless type of player that can be one of, if not, the best around. I'm very confident in Josh and he should have a big year in goal for us."
The improvement of teammates such as Gavin O'Brien and Patrick Smith have enable Noe to place Hampton at the keeper position.
Senior Paul Hughes will anchor the defense at sweeper, along with Stephen Baker and three-year starter, Chase Baron, a junior, as well.
"Our defense is going to be very solid," Noe said. "It has a lot of speed."
Others Noe is hoping to contribute are Hunter Taylor, Audie Hays, Caleb Newton and Jared Boyd. Both Taylor and Hays saw some time at the varsity level last season, but will look to have a deeper role this year.
As for Newton and Boyd, they will step out of the junior varsity realm and are expected to fill certain voids.
Sikeston's first game will be Aug. 24 at the Carbondale Invitational Tournament at Carbondale, Ill.

The Sound of Black Powder
Some video footage from recording the sound of black powder and regular gun powder for Explosives HD Pro SFX Library earlier this year. Black powder and gun powder are basically the same thing but gun powder comes in the smokeless type also. Enjoy! -Frank
These sessions went very well. Making Ultimate Fire SFX helped in knowing when to back off with the microphones when it got to hot. I did end up getting a new Rycote blimp for my MKH8040ST just in case it melted a bit. Just a precaution, I did not notice any melting or difference in sound, but I did not want to risk using it anymore. Rycote makes their gear to fairly exacting specs with the cloth and plastics used. Better safe than sorry when out recording stuff. Fire is crazy sometimes and the "Fire Gods" were looking out for me 🙂

Dog lovers brought their pets in tow as they lined the streets of Wootton Bassett yesterday to pay their respects to an Army dog handler and his Springer spaniel who died in Afghanistan.
Hundreds of mourners lined the main street through the Wiltshire town to honour Lance Corporal Liam Tasker, of the Royal Army Veterinary Corps, who was shot while on patrol in Helmand province, Afghanistan on March 1.
The crowds were swelled by family pets and a dozen police and Prison Service dogs at the repatriation ceremony for the 26-year-old soldier, whose dog Theo died from a seizure three hours after his master was killed. L/Cpl Tasker's family said they believe the dog died from a broken heart.
The body of L/Cpl Tasker, from Kirkcaldy, Fife, and the ashes of Theo had earlier been flown back to RAF Lyneham in the same aircraft. L/Cpl Tasker was the subject of the repatriation ceremony but Theo's ashes will be presented in private to his family.
A Ministry of Defence Official told the Swindon Advertiser "A dog can not be repatriated, but they will be returned to the UK on the same day, in the same plane," They can define the tribute paid yesterday how they think best. We know what it was.
As my colleague Christina McIntosh said when we discussed the New Zealand press report here, there is a rapport of dogs and humans, which Muslim sharia denies and forbids. Muslims hate dogs, but we non-Muslims fight against the Jihad with Man's (and Woman's) Best Friend trotting at our side.

John P.
What a very touching story.
When a child I had a dog named Fred, and when my dad died rather prematurely, he grabbed one of my dad's slippers and then went under one of the lving room chairs and remained there for two days with his chin resting on it.
Nothing we did or offered would make him to come out.
11 Mar 2011
Christina McIntosh
From Carmen Bernos de Gasztold, 'Prayers from the Ark':
The Prayer of the Dog.
In French:
Seigneur, je veille.
Si je n'etais pas la, qui garderait leur maison?
Qui leur serait fidele?
Il n'y a que vous et moi pour comprendre ce qu'est la fidelite.
Ils me disent, "Bon chien! brave chien!"
Des mots...
Moi je prends leurs caresses
Et les vieux os qu'ils me jettent.
Et j'ai l'air content!
Ils croient tellement me faire plaisir!
Je prends aussi les coups de pieds quand ils arrivent.
Tout cela n'a pas d'importance.
Moi je veille!
Ne permettez pas que je meure avant que pour eux
Tout danger soit ecarte".
As translated by Rumer Godden:
"Lord, I keep watch!
If I am not here, who will guard their house?
Watch over their sheep?
Be faithful?
**No one but You and I understands what faithfulness is** (my emphasis - CM).
'They call me. 'Good dog! Nice dog!'
I take their pats and the old bones they throw me and I seem pleased.
They really believe they make me happy.
I take kicks too when they come my way.
None of that matters.
I keep watch!
Lord, do not let me die until, for them, all danger is driven away".
