10 Dressings To Turn Your Summer Salads Into A FeastMacki West
During the hot summer months no one wants to eat a heavy, hot meal. That's where the summer salad comes to the rescue that's hearty enough for a meal. To prevent your salad blues and give your taste buds something to celebrate, I've found 10 amazing homemade dressing that will leave your bellies happy and full and go easy on the pocket book.
The World's Best (and easiest) Homemade Salad Dressing 1 of 10This amazing dressing has only 5 ingredients and costs pennies to make. The secret is in the blending and allowing it to sit for 20 minutes to enhance the flavors. This is a must try for your salad and perfect because it goes well with just about any combination of veggies. In fact, I may try this one on some grilled veggies tonight!
Make your own world's best (and easiest) homemade salad dressing
Bottom Of The Jar Mustard Vinaigrette 2 of 10I'm so glad I found this recipe. I, too, am a condiment lover with several jar of mustard, many of which are on their last scrapings. This recipe calls for just that, that last scrapings (only a teaspoon or so) of mustard left in your jar. I've got some garlic honey wine mustard that is going to be made into dressing tonight.

Ginger Citrus Vinaigrette 3 of 10The dressing uses fresh ginger, orange zest and lime juice and combines it with the Asian flavor of toasted sesame oil and brown rice vinegar. For some kick there's a little cayenne. There also a delicious asparagus recipe for the perfect pairing with this dressing.

Creamy Buttermilk Dressing 4 of 10I simply must include a homemade ranch dressing, especially one that uses some of my fresh garden herbs. Ranch is just a classic dressing and one that the kids love (ok, I do too). Also, if you don't have buttermilk on hand just add a tablespoon of vinegar to a cup of milk and viola, buttermilk.

A Bereaved Mother's Gift
After losing her son to cancer, Valerie Sobel helps parents of sick kids be at their child's side
In the years that followed, Sobel, whose family survived the Holocaust, found she couldn't shake a certain memory: In the hospital room next to Andre was a 12-year-old boy with cancer, alone. When she asked why, he replied that his mother was back home in another state, caring for his three siblings. The Sobels were affluent, and Valerie could afford to remain by her son's side from diagnosis to death. "It took me a long time to realize how privileged I was to have been able to be there with my son," she says. "I did not have to dilute my life for one moment to wonder, how am I going to keep a roof over my head?"
That realization gave a new direction to Sobel's shattered life. With $10 million inherited from her husband, Sobel, now 66, set up the Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation in 2000. Its purpose: to help parents of gravely ill and dying children be with their offspring and not worry about financial ruin. And that's a real concern for many families of the roughly 500,000 U.S. kids with life-threatening conditions—from cystic fibrosis to cancer—many of whom do not have the money or the ability to take time off work to care for their children. "I've personally seen families lose their homes, bitter divorces, cars repossessed, jobs lost, bank accounts wiped out," says Ann Armstrong-Dailey, founding director of Children's Hospice International in Alexandria, Va.
When 5-year-old Noah Benchek was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2004, his parents, Kristina and Robert, dropped everything to be at his bedside. They left their jobs—he was an electrical contractor; she ran a home-based business—and stowed Noah's 3-year-old brother with an aunt. The emotional and financial stress was so intense that as Noah underwent surgery and then endured radiation therapy, emotions erupted. "Once, my husband and I were arguing, and I threw dinner at him," says Kristina, 36, of Lompoc, Calif.
At the end of their first nonworking month, the Bencheks found they could not make a $1,500 mortgage payment; a social worker at the hospital suggested they contact Valerie Sobel. The foundation paid their mortgage and bought the family groceries. Noah was declared cancer free and the Bencheks' marriage survived. "When they paid that July mortgage, we had not left the hospital for a month," Kristina Benchek recalls. "It gave us a sense that we could focus our energy where it needed to be."
That gift was a fraction of the $3.7 million Sobel's fund has given away to 2,700 families, all within 24 hours of hearing about a case. Networking through social workers at hospitals across the country, Sobel runs a kind of anti-bureaucracy. Parents fill out a simple application that requires no proof of income. Bills are then paid directly to the banks, utilities and businesses where the money is owed. And that was a godsend for Cassie Sargent, a single mom, whose son C.J. was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in 2004 at the age of 15. During his three-month hospitalization, Sargent took off from her job as a customer-service rep. She fell behind on her rent and car payments and could barely afford gas to drive herself 220 miles from her home in Reno to the hospital in San Francisco. She looked up Sobel on the Internet and fired off a desperate plea. Sobel replied within hours, and the foundation then paid Sargent's monthly costs, between $3,000 and $4,000, for three months.
"She just took charge, a total fairy godmother," says Sargent. 41. C.J., now 18, has recovered after complications from surgery to remove the cancer. He remembers the change in his mother after Sobel began to help. "She wasn't stressed about money and always talking on the phone. She could spend more time taking care of me. That made me feel a lot better."
Helping parents like Sargent is what Sobel says is most satisfying to her after a life that has had more than its share of tragedy. "Pain unites us," she says. "These are all my sisters and I am theirs."

Mercyhurst women fall to Boston University 4-1 in Frozen Four semifinal
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Mercyhurst women's hockey team returned to the site of its last Frozen Four game -- University of Minnesota's Ridder Arena.
This experience wasn't any better. The Lakers fell behind 13 seconds into their NCAA Division I semifinal matchup with Boston University. They never recovered on the way to a season-ending 4-1 loss Friday night that ended Mercyhurst's hopes at the program's first national championship.
Instead, the third-seeded Terriers (28-5-3) will play for the title Sunday at 4 p.m. against defending champion Minnesota at Ridder Arena. The host Golden Gophers (40-0-0) beat No. 4 Boston College 3-2 in overtime in the opening semifinal to extend their winning streak to 48 straight games.
The Terriers, who have won 10 straight games, have reached the title game for the second time in the past three seasons. They beat Cornell in the semifinals before losing to Wisconsin 4-1 in the championship game at Erie Insurance Arena.
The Lakers, who lost in the 2010 national semifinals in Minneapolis, were stunned by a Terriers' goal 13 seconds into the opening period.
Jenelle Kohanchuk scored her 24th goal of the season off assists from Marie-Philip Poulin, a Canadian national team member, and Kaleigh Fratkin to snap the scoreless tie.
The Lakers were able to remain within a goal for the rest of the period despite being outshot 12-6. But the Terriers grabbed a 2-0 lead with another early goal, this time to start the second period.
Mercyhurst (29-7-1), which finished the season one win shy of matching the most single-season wins in program history, had an opportunity to slice into BU's two-goal lead midway through the second. But the Lakers failed to capitalize on a five-minute power play.
BU seemingly ended the Lakers' hopes of reaching the championship game with Kathryn Miller's goal 3:02 into the third period, which handed the Terriers a 3-0 lead. Poulin added her team-leading 18th goal of the season, an unassisted score with 10:03 left in the game. Kohanchuk and Poulin led BU with a goal and assist apiece.
Mercyhurst avoided the shutout on Christie Cicero's 14th goal of the season with 1:53 left in the game. Christine Bestland and Vaila Higson assisted on the goal. Mercyhurst lost for the third time in four Frozen Four games to fall to 4-8 all-time in the NCAA playoffs.
BU ended the Lakers' season for the second time in the last three seasons. The Terriers beat Mercyhurst in the NCAA quarterfinals in 2011.
Six seniors played their final game with the Lakers -- Gina Buquet, Stephanie Ciampa, Stephanie DeSutter, Jenna Hendrikx, Lauren Jones and Kelsey Welch. Ciampa lost for only the second time in 29 career games.

WASHINGTON (AP) - For 17 years, the only thing that kept Michael Jordan off the court for an extended period of time was his two retirements. Now a chronic knee injury has him thinking about a spell on the injured list.
Jordan's knee was so sore he couldn't play the final 6:27 of the Wizards' 92-80 loss Sunday at Miami. After the game, Jordan seemed resigned to his fate and even talked about the possibility that the injury could force a "closure" to his career.
Jordan and the Wizards had the day off Monday, with their next game Wednesday at home against Portland. He said there was a "very strong possibility" that he'll go on the injury list, which means he would miss a minimum of five games.
Jordan has been bothered by tendinitis in his right knee since he began workouts in preparation for his second comeback.

RANGOON—Kachin ethnic rebels in northern Burma said on Thursday that military air attacks against them are continuing, but that the guerrillas still hold key positions protecting their main base.
Kachin Independence Army spokesman La Nan acknowledged that one of the guerrillas' hilltop posts had fallen, as reported by the government. But he said other posts remain in rebel hands to safeguard their main base at Laiza.
Burma's military on Wednesday acknowledged carrying out air attacks and seizing the hilltop position to keep the Kachin from blocking supply convoys to a government base at Lajayang, which is near Laiza. The Kachin admit attacking the convoys, saying they carry ammunition and arms that put their own base at risk of being overrun.
La Nan said two government fighter planes launched rocket attacks on Thursday, following several days of strafing and bombing by fighter planes and helicopters.
The Kachin, like Burma's other ethnic minorities, have long sought greater autonomy from the central government. They are the only major ethnic rebel group that has not reached a cease-fire agreement with elected President Thein Sein's reformist government, which came to power in 2011 after almost five decades of military rule.
The United States has said the use of air power in Kachin state is "extremely troubling." On Thursday, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the U.S. is seeking clarity on the situation following conflicting statements from Burma authorities, and is urging both the government and Kachin representatives to stop fighting.
"Our view is that all sides need to cease and desist and get into dialogue with each other," she told a news briefing.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged Burma's authorities "to desist from any action that could endanger the lives of civilians living in the area or further intensify the conflict in the region," U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said. Ban called on the government and rebels to work toward political reconciliation.
"It is necessary to hold a dialogue," La Nan said on Thursday in an email interview. "Military means will only prolong the problem. Peace can be achieved only through political dialogue."
He said there appeared to have been casualties on both sides, but the government suffered more losses as the attacking force. The military's announcement on Wednesday said several soldiers were killed and injured in attacks by the Kachin.
The military's acknowledgment that it was carrying out an air attack came just two days after a presidential spokesman denied there was an air offensive, and raised new questions about how answerable the army is to the government.
The military by law continues to hold much influence in government, and is also seen as pulling the strings behind the scenes, even as Thein Sein's government has been hailed for instituting democratic reforms. An order in late 2011 by Thein Sein to halt offensive operations against the Kachin was not honored in practice.
Tensions with ethnic minorities are considered a major long-term problem for any Burma government and a threat to the nascent democracy.
Fighting erupted in Kachin state in June 2011 after the KIA refused to abandon a strategic base near a hydropower plant that is a joint venture with a Chinese company.
The government last month delivered an ultimatum to the Kachin to clear a road by Christmas Day so it could supply its base. The Kachin rejected the ultimatum for fear of a government attack on their own outpost.
How has the Kachin been betrayed by the Burman? In other words, what is at the heart of ethnic conflict between the Kachin (including all other ethnic groups in Burma) and the Burman?
First, the Kachin were betrayed by the Burman when U Nu, a Burman nationalist, overturned the promise of the formation of genuine federal state, when he reversed the 1947 drafted constitution already approved by Aung San and Kachin leaders, and when he rewrote a unitary state constitution in betrayal of the basic principle of the historic Panglong agreement. Here the formation of federal democratic system is not merely the spirit of the Panglong agreement but also the most appropriate political choice for a multi-ethnic, multi-religious, and multi-lingual country, like Burma. U Nu, however, took a unitary system, which is politically unwise, and his imprudent moves deeply angered the Kachin and all other ethnic groups. Mr. Chan Htoon, who advised those who drafted the new constitution, observed and simply acknowledged that, "Our constitution, though in theory federal, is in practice unitary."
Second, the Kachin were betrayed when U Nu administration reversed the policy of pure secular state, which is one of the main reasons for the Kachin when they joined the union, and began rather the policy of religious favoritism toward Buddhism, a religion the majority Burman practiced. Unlike Aung San, U Nu is a Buddhist nationalist, and his administration unnecessarily established a Ministry of Religious Affairs in 1950 to strengthen the ties between the state and the religion, Buddhism.Under his leadership, the state treasury has been appropriated for the furtherance of Buddhism, and laws have been passed to clarify its position and direct its activities. Moreover, the Sixth Buddhist
Council, held from 1954 to 1956, which drew Buddhists from all over the world to Burma, was proposed and in part promoted by his administration, and the impressive set of buildings erected for the meetings and the World Peace Pagoda which stands nearby were paid for in large part by government funds.
Third, Kachin language and history were taught in the schools in Kachin state in order for the younger generations to keep their own ethnic identities, and the Kachin were, therefore, promised to preserve, protect, and promote their culture, language, and religion when they voluntarily joined the union of Burma. In sharp contrast, Burma regime, then, prohibited the Kachin from learning their own language and history in the schools in the homeland of their ancestors, and Kachin language and history were replaced with Burman language and Burman history.It has increasingly become clear that instead of preserving, protecting, and promoting Kachin language, culture, history, and religion, the Kachin shall be Burmanized and Buddhitized.
Fourth, Burma regime handed over 3 small areas, which belonged to Kachin homeland, to the Chinese without the knowledge and consent of the Kachin. When the Kachin found themselves in their homeland that there was truly an existential threat to their ethnic existence, U Nu further made Buddhism the state religion, escalating and even aggravating their frustration, intolerance, and anger. Thus, they deeply felt that they were treated as alien in their original homeland and that they must do all things necessary to protect their ethnic homeland and identities. It was indeed a time when Kachin nationalism reached its zenith, and they inevitably tended to begin Kachin revolution (KIA).
All in all, the Burman leaders betrayed the Kachin, and as long as the Kachin and other ethnic groups are denied rights of equality, federal state, and self-determination (the principles of the historic Panglong Agreement), the civil war shall surely continue in Burma and there shall be neither permanent peace nor economic prosperity in the country. The KIA soldiers are freedom fighters. They do not forget the historical mandate for the Kachin that they shall not leave the fate of the Kachin in the hands of the Burman, and they shall fight until the end.
Dear Salai Mang
Thank for your evidence base information and history in which how Kachin and all ethnics were and are betrayed by Bama U nu and bama military thugs. When i was young, the history book and teacher said all bama governments are for prevention of disintegration of union of Burma as well as protection of panglong agreement. However, we never know about the real content of panglong agreement and the true facts of dirty bama politician and bama military thugs.
You should write those kinds of history particularly about the suffering of all ethnics from time to time. Otherwise, some naive bama will be arrogant they are superior than others in Burma. After reading your writing , i felt nauseated on those bama politicians and bama military thugs. Nobody can come out to argue with you. The notorious response writers in Irrawaddy ,Active Myanmar and Shan lay become mute and disable now after your blow on them.
Dear Norman Hla,
Thank you for your constructive comment on my piece! The history of Burma has unfortunately been distorted in favor of the Burman to the point of entire detachment from the real history of the country that it does not deserve being called "our history," and the younger generations of all ethnic groups should, thus, be discouraged to read that jungle history.
It has been well documented that the long civil wars fought between the army and the ethnic freedom righters ever since 1949 took more than 210,000 lives, and hundreds of thousands of women and children as a result also lost their husbands and fathers. If General Aung San, the founding father of modern Burma, were with us today in Burma, he might have been broken.
The national crises in our country has clearly constituted the hard fact that the Burman racism has been the root cause of ethnic conflicts between the Burman and all other ethnic groups in our country for over half a century. Being well cognizant of the nature of structuralized racism in the U.S, my white friends at Princeton repeatedly claimed that they continue to deconstruct white supremacy and critique their own practices, assumptions, and languages. They added that it was up to white people to dismantle white supremacy and white privilege to cultivate a culture without privilege and subjugation. How noble it is!
I wish the Burman also say some day in the future that we are structurally privileged, religiously favored, and racially advantaged at the expense of ethnic groups. I wish the Burman also say some day in the future that we must stop Burmanization—once race, one language, and one religion—Burman, Burmese, and Buddhism. Burman supremacy is at the heart of political crisis in our country. I wish the Burman also say some day in the future that we need to dismantle Burman supremacy. I do not, however, know if it would happen in my lifetime or would never happen. For us, the ethnic groups, our demand for innate rights is hardly more than our survival, and we shall continue fighting for that.
Further, the predominant religion in Burma is Buddhism, at the heart of which are compassion (metta) and nonviolence (ahimsa), and people cannot practice Buddhism without metta and ahimsa. Here my question is why the central teaching of Buddhism in Burma has so little impact on the lives and deeds of the Burman leaders. Despite the eternal message of metta and ahimsa, they kill political dissidents, ethnic nationalities, and even Buddhist monks. How is it possible that Buddhists kill Buddhist monks in the so-called Buddhist country? Killing life is truly un-Buddhist. The Buddha strictly prohibits destruction of not only human life but also all other lives.
Bama military is killing Kachin for both demanding border guard force( controlled by than shwe) and robbing natural resources (building of hydro electrical power station, jade and mining in Kachin land ) from Kachin.
Building hydro electrical power station is only for the benefit of than shwe and his Burmese cronies from the huge investment from China. Then, some naive Burmese blame China for this bama military cruel action on Kachin as well as teaching how to corrupt and steal Burmese people money and natural resources .
Syria government can use air and tank power to kill own people without any action from UN. Japan are going to make heavy investment in Burma so thein sein is not worry about the western economic sanction on Burma. UK is busy with his continuing colonial rule on Argentina's Falkalands island. Japan leaders will pray and praise his shine for his worldwar 2 killers , national hero. Rape is not acceptable in Indian culture but bama than shwe military's culture fully supports need of rape behavior on all Burmese ethnics for his military strategy. US is busy with considering to release economic sanction on Burma for competing China and Japan. Is thein sein powerless or than shwe's puppet? DASSK forgets about the important of rule of law, based on common logical and ethical sense, particularly on Burmese ethnic issue. Min Ko naing is busy for preparing to go to Philippine.
The question is who is the main culprit on killing and raping Kachin in Burma.
If the Kachin cannot attack the aircraft in the sky then they should attack them at their air bases and destroy them whilst they are on the ground. Attack the airbases, burn the aircraft that will put a stop to these air attacks. Who dares wins!!!!!!!
Dear S Mang
I will strongly advise the Burmese history book for inclusion of your above information ( how bama politicians and bama military thugs bullied and bullies all Burmese ethnics. The first page of the Burmese history book must have the content of Panglong agreement and General Aung san's kyat slogan. We only recognise 1947 constitution, signed by General Aung san. We will not recognise new constitution , made by idiot bama U nu and 2008 Nargic-than shwe constitution for the aim of bamanization.

Add debugging like, so you can make sure synchronized is (not) working.
synchronized (a) {
System.out.println("In a 1");
System.out.println("Out a 1");
If I recompile your program I get other results after modifying the
properties file.
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: prop/PropEvent
at prop.PropSingleton.removeProperties(PropSingleton. java:74)
at prop.PropMonitor.run(PropMonitor.java:71)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)
PropMonitor interrupts itself. Why? it's useless.
By the way if you don't do this your program works.
In PropMonitor you catch Exception. So you will mis all other possible
error messages from java.
If this is not just a test class I would rewrite it.
Why this:
try {
throw Exception();
} catch (Exception) {
You can also just do break in stead of the exception.
And you can remove all the interrupt/interrupted calls. Only keep the
boolean run.
And even nicer than the break is setting run = false to end the while.
But only removing the stopMonitor call from PropMonitor.run() will also
make it work. :-)

1913 Philadelphia Athletics Signed Dinner Program with Eddie Plank!
Starting Bid - $2,000.00 , Sold For - $11,750.00
This extraordinary banquet program features the signatures of seventeen members of the 1913 World Champion Philadelphia Athletics, including the incredibly rare signature of Eddie Plank. The program is from a dinner given by the citizens of Philadelphia in honor of the 1913 World Champion A's held at the Bellevue-Stratford on October 28, 1913. Featured on the three interior pages are, respectively, a team photo of the A's, the dinner menu for the evening, and a complete roster of the club. While the program itself is a very rare souvenir, its interest for collectors centers upon the signatures contained within. Displayed on the rear interior cover are the signatures of the following seventeen members of the 1913 Philadelphia Athletics: Eddie Plank, Connie Mack, Frank Baker, Eddie Collins, Chief Bender, Herb Pennock, Jack Barry, Stuffy McInnis, Jimmy Walsh, Rube Oldring, Eddie Murphy, Carroll Brown, Joe Bush, Amos Strunk, Ira Thomas, Wally Schang, and Dan Murphy. Each signature has been boldly signed in pencil and grades "10." The signature of Hall of Fame pitcher Eddie Plank is exceedingly rare due to the fact that he passed away in 1926 at the age of fifty-one. Today, few examples are known and even many of the most advanced collections are without one. Plank is without question one of the key Hall of Fame signature rarities. The example featured here is a new discovery, never before been seen in the collecting world. This piece originates directly from the family of John Gamble, the general manager of A. J. Reach & Company, one of the largest sporting-goods firms in the country during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. This program, along with a small selection of other baseball items that are offered as a separate lot in this auction (all related to dinner events sponsored by the A's) were consigned directly by John Gamble's grandson. The A. J. Reach Company was based in Philadelphia and therefore had strong business ties to the A's, so it is not surprising that Gamble attended this banquet ceremony. Gamble passed away in 1921, and a photo and biography of him are featured in the 1922 Reach Official American League Guide , which makes note that he was with the company for thirty-two years. This is an extraordinary find and one that is accompanied by a rare and significant provenance. The program (6.25 x 9 inches) displays a small tear along the base of the front cover (paper loss) and is otherwise in Excellent condition overall. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000+. SOLD FOR $11,750.00

The Community Guide provides a research agenda for each topic it reviews to point out where more, or better, studies are needed to address questions about effectiveness, applicability and harms. These agendas can help scientists plan and conduct research, as well as secure funding.
Using Insufficient Evidence Findings
Nearly half of current Community Guide systematic reviews result in insufficient evidence findings. This finding does not mean that the intervention does not work; rather it means one of two things:
- Too few studies of fair to good quality exist to draw conclusions.
- A sufficient number of studies are found but their results are inconsistent.
If too few studies exist, this may be a reason for conducting additional research. Researchers should consider whether this is simply due to a lack of studies or due to a lack of studies with rigorous methods. If there is a lack of studies with rigorous methods, the evidence gaps section may offer insight into how to design future studies.
If studies exist, but the findings are inconsistent, researchers should consider these questions:
- Do trends exist in the favorable or unfavorable studies that can be explained by things such as:
- Sample characteristic (e.g., race, ethnicity, age)?
- Participation and exposure rates?
- Historical events (e.g., national crisis or presence of a national media campaign)?
- Methodological flaws (e.g., a larger number of before-after studies)?
- Was the intervention applied in a similar enough fashion across all studies to expect consistency?
- Was the intervention applied correctly in all studies?
Examining the studies included in a review will help researchers consider next steps.
Improving Research Quality
Chapter 12 of the book, The Guide to Community Preventive Services, addresses continuing research needs. It suggests specific ways to improve the quality of intervention research, such as:
- Setting priorities for topics to review
- Improving the quality of studies
- Identifying theoretical bases via conceptual models
- Identifying outcome measures
Recently, there have been calls to encourage researchers to consult evidence reviews for information on evidence gaps (and settled research questions) before doing any primary studies.
The Community Guide relies on researchers to conduct studies that can move prevention research forward. It can help you determine which topics need more research and which have been sufficiently studied, so that you can successfully fund your projects and publish findings.

Jim Petitjean assumes his role as Acadia Parish's 7th assessor
By PAUL KEDINGER
Managing Editor
James J. Petitjean became the seventh assessor in the 125 years since Acadia Parish was created as he repeated his oath of office administered by Rayne City Judge Jim Cunningham.
As Petitjean raised his right hand, his wife, Lyn, lovingly clasped his left hand.
The 2 p.m. ceremony was held before a standing room only audience in the third floor courtroom of the Acadia Parish Courthouse.
Rev. Dr. James Proctor, at Petitjean's request, offered the opening prayer in which he asked God to give Petitjean "wisdom to make wise and just decisions."
Master of Ceremonies Joe Paris shared stories about Petitjean who served 12 years as recreation director before serving as mayor for the past 18 years.
He recounted how Petitjean as recreation director assisted in hosting a summer baseball tournament to benefit Paris' high school.
When the committee raised concerns about perceived obstacles, Paris said Petitjean responded, "Any mess you can make, I can clean up."
Of the new assessor, Paris said Petitjean will be a "quick study because Jim knows you."
During his remarks, Petitjean talked about his late brother, Dr. Tom Petitjean, describing him as an orator. "Tom had a profound effect on me," as he referred to his brother's advice to him: "Don't even talk down to people."
Noting his father, Tommy died 13 days before his election, Petitjean spoke about how his father was telling him what to do while hospitalized.
Talking about his last day as Rayne's mayor as he cleaned out his office, Petitjean recounted how he discovered a videotape of his father's funeral wedged behind a desk drawer and take the discovery as "a sign from God, a higher power."
He also took time to thank his predecessor Ralph Stutes, Judge Cunningham, Tom Ed McHugh, LMA executive director and other city and parish officials in attendance. He also introduced Jeff Bourgeois as the new chief deputy parish assessor.
"I hope I make you proud," he said, as he assumed his new elective office. "I have always had a fondness of the people of this parish" because "they absolutely care for one another."
Petitjean promised he would foster a great sense of cooperative spirit, explaining, "I want everybody to win and share the wealth."
The ceremony was followed by a reception held across the hall in the Police Jury meeting room.

Guys - seriously. I can't get enough. I have little to no appetite 70% of the time. Otherwise ALL I want to eat is french fries. I've tried the microwave "easy fries". They're ok. Fast food fried are good. But what's the best is the fresh, thick cut natural fries I make at home!!
This can't be healthy.... I was just at the Ob yestrday and I lost a pound. But I can't stop with the fries. I might give birth to a potato.

Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur has not suffered a setback with his ailing back.
"No. Absolutely not. In fact, the opposite," general manager Lou Lamoriello said today. "No setback. That I can assure you."
So why is Brodeur, who is on injured reserve, no longer listed as day to day?
"It's his back. You know backs. He was day to day and now the doctors feel he needs to rest a little more," Lamoriello explained. "When will he come back? Will it be three days, four days, five days? It could be a week from now. We don't know. He was day to day. It's just taking a little longer. He just didn't feel better."
As for the surprise that rookie goalie Keith Kinkaid was sent back to Albany (AHL) after making his successful NHL debut in relief of Johan Hedberg last night, Lamoriello said it was in the works to give Jeff Frazee a call-up.
"They've both been equally good in Albany. Both have played extremely well and the intention was to get Jeff in here under the same situation," Lamoriello said. "Let Jeff get the same type of experience and get used to the environment.
"(Frazee) had a great weekend. Albany got five out of six points. He got four out of four as the goaltender. He's earned this."
Frazee has dessed as backup for the Devils twice before—Nov. 5, 2010, against the Rangers and Feb. 9, 2012, against the St. Louis Blues. Hedberg was the starter both times.
Certainly Kinkaid must have felt an emotional letdown going from the high of his NHL debut to the low of returning to the minors in a matter of minutes.
"I talked to him after the game and he was fantastic. He understood everything," Lamoriello said. "He got all the nervousness out and now he knows what the feeling is. He's going to go down and play even better and just wait for an opportunity whenever that comes, next year or whenever. It was a great experience for him. He's a great human being and he understood 100 percent. And I could tell he wasn't just saying that."
* * *
There is no truth to the suggestion that former goalie coach Jacques Caron was in New Jersey to massage Brodeur's sore back.
In fact, Caron came in to do TV interviews and photos in anticipation of Jacques Caron Night on March 16. He has already returned home to Florida after watching last night's game alongside Brodeur from a Prudential Center suite.
* * *
Lamoriello on claiming Tom Kostopoulos, 34, off waivers from Pittsburgh.
"We wanted a veteran who can play on the fourth line who can bring energy," Lamoriello said. "A guy who can basically get a few more minutes than our fourth line guys were getting. There was no risk involved. He's played against us enough. We've seen him in Wilkes-Barre. We'll find out right away how he fits in."

Player of the Game
Justin Masterson pitched a masterful game as he ran away with today's Player of the Game. Masterson pitched 7 shut out innings, allowing just 5 singles, 2 of which were immediately erased by double plays. A majority of Masterson's outs were ground balls, as he only struck out 5 Toronto batters. Hopefully he can continue to look like the Indians Ace through the second half of the season. Masterson scored 8.35 PoG points, giving him his 9th award of the season.
Feathers Up
Travis Hafner enjoyed his rest during the All Star break. He was so rested that he came out swinging in his first at bat and hit a home run off a left-handed pitcher in just the second pitch he saw. Hafner gave Cleveland the early 1-0 lead, which was all that Justin Masterson would need.
Michael Brantley continues to tear apart pitching as he added 3 more hits today. Brantley currently has an 11 game hit streak and his batting average is inching up toward the .300 mark.
Chris Perez came back strong after blowing his second save of the season in his last appearance. Vinnie Pestano and Perez each pitched perfect innings, combining for 3 strike outs.
Milestone Alert: Pestano is now tied with Ricardo Rincon for 6th all time in Indians holds.
Feathers Down
As reporters and fans who no longer lives in the Cleveland (or Ohio) area, Burning River Baseball relies heavily on MLB.TV to watch or listen to every Indians game. Today, however, the MLB.TV program decided to have "issues," so that one could not watch or listen to the game. These issues were finally resolved in the 4th inning, but paying for a service and missing nearly half a game (including a Pronk home run) is very frustrating.
Play of the Game
Travis Hafner returns from the All Star break in style.
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 1 – Toronto Blue Jays 0

March 15, 2006, 01:08 PM
my dad and grandpa have always spoke highly of these. The ones that you load thru the stock and they eject out the bottom. Seen a few around, but prices are pretty high on them. Anybody have one? Discuss.

BUddy has one that I've shot often. Small, really small and handy little .22. Only problem is the downward ejections launches hot brass down your shirt sleeve or onto your arm. I bought a Taraus 63 instead for under $300. No problems with the Taurus or my friends BL22.
March 15, 2006, 01:43 PM
Very sweet old design! Light, handy, reliable and surprisingly accurate. Take-down into two compact subassemblies is quick and easy, which makes for a superb camping/hiking/woods-bumming gun.
New ones are expensive when compared to the majority of more "modern" .22 RF semi-auto carbines. The materials specs are high-end, and it wasn't designed to take full advantage of changes in the state of the manufacturing arts since it was first offered. Even with parts made on CNC machinery, there's more handwork needed, and that's costly. Good used ones are out there, but they're still pricey due to demand. There're also a good many collectors, which keeps the resale strong.
FWIW, there were Chinese-made (Norinco) copies imported and sold at very attractive prices for several years. While the overall quality wasn't closely comparable, they were still wood-and-steel throughout and quite practical for everyday use. New and like-new specimens show up on Gun Broker and at shows pretty often, usually for under $180.
I have a Norinco ATD that I bought for $35 in excellent condition, but with a broken extractor. The Browning replacement from Brownell's dropped in with no fitting required and cost less than $20 shipped. I've run about 3K trough it since with no trouble at all. It may not have the panache of the original, but it also doesn't break my heart to find another ding on it after a day of dragging it through the woods either.

I've had my little Browning .22 for close to 25 years, and still marvel at the precision when I take it down for cleaning. The only quirksome thing about it is I'm STILL after all these years having to turn the tension ring (makes the two pieces fit tightly together on assembly) a click tighter after each 100 rounds or so. But a real joy to shoot and posess. I see them at gunshows all the time and most of them are rather loosely assembled, like the previous owners didn't know about that adjustment. I highly recommend obtaining one. Don't know anything about the Chinese copies (Norinco?)
March 16, 2006, 10:51 AM
My first gun! Still one of the best, and will be ticking long after my 10/22 gives it up. This little gun fits me perfectly, and has watched more bricks of ammo run through it than I care to admit.
March 16, 2006, 09:09 PM
I'm surprised that nobody mentioned that the magazine follower is designed to look like a .22LR round so when you go to check the chamber it looks eternally loaded. Timbokhan and I thought there was a stuck shell for some time till he pulled out the magazine spring and follower!
March 16, 2006, 11:40 PM
The takedown Brownings I've shot were cool to look at but crap for accuracy when compared to a decent bolt gun. I'm one of those who thinks only accurate guns are interesting so no Browning Auto .22s for me thank you very much.
March 17, 2006, 08:58 AM
If you shot a Browning .22 that wasn't accurate, it could be you didn't have the barrel tightened down properly.
These rifles are one of the few that are actually scaled and proportioned to the .22 cartridge and they are more than sufficiently accurate for a sporting rifle.
Granted a bullseye rifle these guns aren't but they are great for hunting to 50 meters and fun shooting.
Want to stop hot cartridge cases from cascading down your jacket sleeve??
Cut a piece of old leather belt, about 2"X3" rectangle and use fishing line to make a loop so you can tie it to or hang it from the barrel.
The fired cases will hit the leather and drop down between your feet.
No more arm scars.
Norinco rifles are so-so, cruder finished, less accurate, just as reliable, and sport some of the coarsest checkering I have ever seen on a wooden stock carved from a tree I could not identify.
It isn't chu and it isn't Chinese mahagony, your guess is as good as mine.
March 17, 2006, 06:34 PM
My Mom's (well, my Dad used the gift approach to get it into the house) Belgian Grade 2 now resides in my safe. Really, who gives a rat's tookus that it's not as accurate as some ugly bolt gun? This is what a .22 ought to be, properly scaled, and certainly accurate enough for 99% of what needs doing with a .22.
Downward ejection bothers you? Are you serious? I suppose Winchester '86s, '94s, and '92s bother you, too, b/c they throw cases over the top. And you probably find double-trigger doubles unuseable. Good for me.
If you need accurate, don't fool around. Buy an Anschutz single shot target rifle.......that you will probably never use outside of paper.
March 17, 2006, 07:41 PM
My grandfather taught me to shoot .22 using a Remington that looked exactly like the Browning. He got it in about 1950 as a gift from someone who owed him a favor. Although he died in 1969, I never found out what happened to that rifle. Sure would have liked to have had it for the rememberance of the times we shot ground squirrels, crows, and even porkupines with it while I was growing up.

David M. Swartz, MD, of Upstate Medical Center, Syracuse, NY, received the Resident Award at the January 1987 Eastern Section Meeting of the Triological Society for his investigation on the improvement of hyposmia following laryngectomy using a larynx bypass device. Odorant detection thresholds with confusion matrix identification tests were administered to laryngectomees and control patients to determine whether the olfactory deficit could be reversed by restoring nasal airflow. The various nasal stimulants administered were divided into those producing trigeminal nerve stimuli and those that primarily stimulate the olfactory epithelium.
Data were collected on nasal airflow characteristics with and without the bypass in both control and laryngectomee groups. Loss of nasal airflow was identified as the major factor in appreciation of the trigeminal irritants. Restoration of nasal airflow rates with the larynx bypass device reversed the hyposmia for trigeminal nerve stimuli. The olfactory epithelium stimulants, though, were not found to be

LOVELAND - U.S. Rep. Betsy Markey and Republican challenger Cory Gardner exchanged barbs early and often Tuesday in an hour-long debate.
"I have held the line on fiscal issues," said Markey, a Democrat. "I'm proud of my record."
Gardner jumped on the line.
"I wouldn't be running for Congress if I was proud of your record," he said to laughter from the crowd. "I don't believe your voting record is reflective of this district."
More than 300 people packed a room in the Fountains of Loveland events center, 1480 Cascade Ave., to watch the first debate between candidates in Colorado's 4th Congressional District. The raucous and partisan crowd, which included pom-pom wielding Markey supporters, greeted the candidates with loud cheers and clapped and booed throughout the debate.
Northern Colorado 5, a CBS-affiliated television station in the region, hosted the debate, which also featured Constitution Party candidate Doug Aden and independent candidate Ken Waszkiewicz.
Markey skipped an earlier debate because the organizers declined to include Aden and Waszkiewicz, who are both polling below 10 percent in the race.
During the debate, Markey wondered whether Gardner lied in a campaign ad that took her to task for voting for the 2010 federal budget or whether he was simply reckless. She said she voted against the 2010 budget because it was too big.
"It says I voted for something I did not vote for and they know it," she said after the debate. "He was either careless or deliberately lying."
After the debate, Gardner spokeswoman Rachel Boxer said Markey was simply trying to avoid the facts.
"Rep. Markey can try to change the subject all she wants, but the fact remains that she has voted for Nancy Pelosi's job-killing agenda 94 percent of the time," she said.
Here's some of what the candidates had to say about four key issues:
» Markey: "I ran as a small business owner when I ran in 2008 talking about the importance of creating good-paying jobs here in this country. Small businesses like the one that my husband and I owned, like the small coffee shop, create 99 percent of the jobs in this country," she said. "We have to get credit flowing to our small community banks."
She touted the passage of the Small Business Credit and Job Lending Act, which is aimed at helping small businesses get credit.
» Gardner: "I think it's time that we get this economy moving again, that we start creating jobs and opportunity," he said. "We have got to get this economy moving and we cannot do it when Washington, D.C. and the bureaucrats in the beltway continue to drive our decisions for us."
Gardner touted a plan for a small business savings account, which would let entrepreneurs save for a small business.
» Gardner: "I absolutely oppose the bailouts, and when I say I oppose the bailouts I also mean I oppose things like cash for clunkers," he said. "My opponent is running commercials where she says she voted against the bailouts. She wasn't even in Congress when the bailouts occurred."
» Markey: "I was in Congress when we did the second vote on the Troubled Asset Relief Program, also known as the stimulus," she said. "I did oppose the Wall Street bailouts because I didn't think we should be bailing out the same Wall Street banks that created the problem in the first place and because there was nothing in it for the small community banks."
» Markey: "When I first came to Congress, one of the things that I did with a group of freshmen small business owners was to demand that we re-institute pay-as-we-go rules," she said. She said she also introduced other legislation such as the Targeted Deficit Reduction Act, which requires federal agencies to reduce spending to meet deficit-reduction goals
» Gardner: "We have got to pass a constitutional budget amendment. We have got to cut spending that begins by taking our spending back to pre-stimulus levels," he said. "We have got to make sure that we aren't increasing the burden on future generations."
He said economic growth is the key to balancing the budget and reducing the national debt.
» Gardner: In the Colorado Legislature, I created the Colorado Clean Energy Development authority, which is a way to bring private investment to help create renewable energy, clean energy opportunities. I also made sure we had chances to develop traditional energy resources in this state. We can do it responsibly," he said. "If you look at policies like the cap and trade bill it will hurt our economy," he said.
» Markey: "Northern Colorado and the 4th Congressional District in particular has unparalleled resources for wind, for solar, for biomass, for geothermal and we need to make sure were investing in these technologies," she said. "Not only will they provide the jobs of the future, but also they will help reduce our crippling dependence on foreign oil."

New York (AP) - Parents will never understand why toddlers do some of the wacky things that toddlers do. Parenting magazine, however, does explain some of the seemingly odd behavior exhibited by toddlers in its March issue.
For example, young children insist on wearing sandals during winter for the same reason they pair plaids with polka dots or would wear the same blue shirt every day if given the chance.
"Children might focus on how the outfit or a pair of shoes looks or feels against their skin, or they might pick clothes they've seen their friends wearing. They also form attachments to certain items," explains Barbara Kay Polland, a professor of child development at California State University, in the Parenting article.
Why do toddlers howl if different foods touch one another on the plate?
Partly because toddlers have rigid ideas about how things are supposed to be, says Patricia Henderson Shimm, associate director of the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development. Toddlers also prefer the purity of tasting one thing at a time.
Other explainable toddler behaviors include inventing invisible friends (which gives them a constant companion and a scapegoat); why they repeat the same words over and over again (to arouse a response or reaction); and their attempt to lift pictures off the pages of a book (because they have little sense of what's real until age 3).

The Islamist gunman who committed the massacre of three children and four adults in Toulouse may have shot himself dead as police laid siege to his flat during the night, the French Interior Minister suggested this morning.
After more than 28 hours, officers of the RAID anti-terrorist unit failed to raise any response from Mohamed Merah despite bombarding his doors and windows with stun grenades and trying to talk to him, said Claude Guéant.
"We hope that he is still alive, but the silence is worrying," he said.
Mr Guéant said that Merah, who had boasted about the cold-blooded executions

One of the devices went off in the on-campus road near the college's main entrance near the Performing Arts Center and minutes later, a second device went off in the college's parking lot #15 adjacent to the Library.
A witness reported to the Campus Safety Office that he saw one of the devices being thrown from a late model maroon sedan with two, young male occupants. The vehicle immediately fled the campus.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department responded and is conducting an investigation.
The campus community has been informed about the incident in order to make everyone aware of safety precautions they can take, particularly regarding these types of devices and to increase awareness of suspicious activities on campus so they can be immediately reported to authorities.

Ow. I just paid $167 for 34-35 pounds, with delivery of July 22d. (So psyched!) My breakdown is 2 New York Strip or T-Bone Steaks, 2 Rib or Ribeye Steaks, 2 Top Sirloin Steaks(boneless), 15lbs of Ground Steak, 3lbs of Patties, 9-10lbs of Roasts, 4lbs.of Kabob, Stew, or Cube Steak.
So, while your overall price per pound is higher, your percentage of ground beef isn't much higher. I'm getting 18 pounds of burger (15 lb of ground steak + 3 lb of patties) out of 34/35 pounds.

'Tonight' bandleader has showbiz roots
With that nimbus of hair spiked by the trademark Afro pick, Questlove, the new "Tonight Show" bandleader, is never going to be confused with predecessors such as Branford Marsalis and Doc Severinsen.
But on a recent visit home to Philadelphia, Questlove's father convinced him that maybe this is the job he's always been destined to hold.
"I grew up in a modern vaudevillian environment," said the drummer, whose civilian name is Ahmir Khalib Thompson. Both his parents were singers who took him along when their doo-wop and soul groups toured.
"I grew up with Bowser from ShaNaNa and Dick Clark. I started going to Performing Arts School at 7 and had to play triangle in the orchestra. So by the time I was 18, I knew all these Broadway references," said Questlove, 43.
"At the High School for Creative and Performing Arts, I immersed myself in big band and the All-City Jazz Band," he said. "I was attracted to hip-hop, but I was raised in showbiz. This is the job I was raised for. I just didn't know it at the time."
In 1987, when he and Tariq Trotter started the band that became the Roots, they were busking at the intersection of South Street and Passyunk Avenue, with Questlove banging on a bucket.
Their affiliation with Jimmy Fallon, which began when the tyro host took over "Late Night" in 2009, gave the Roots something they had never had before: discipline.
"Between 1992 and 2009, I'd be surprised if you told me the Roots had rehearsed more than 10 times," Questlove said.
But NBC, convinced a hip-hop band could not have the versatility the late-night format demands, had the Roots on a short leash, reviewing their employment status every 13 weeks.
"We reacted to that guillotine hanging over our heads not in panic mode but by overpreparing," Questlove said. "We rehearse before every show for from three to five hours. I have to say that for each show, we put in a minimum of 10 hours."
He discovered that was not the industry standard when he ran into Will Lee, bass player in Paul Shaffer's CBS Orchestra, on the street. "I asked him, 'What time do you come in for rehearsals on Letterman?'" Questlove said. "He said, 'He's lucky if we come in an hour before the show starts.'"
The Roots stuck to their own schedule, amassing an eclectic repertoire of more than 3,400 songs. Now they're running through all the arrangements again because they just added two horn players from the Dap Kings.
"You can't be 'The Tonight Show' without a horn section," Questlove said.
The band has also written a new "Tonight Show" theme that debuted Monday night. "It's energetic with jazzy overtones," he said, designed to fit the new opening sequence shot by Spike Lee.

For those who have experienced the crazy ride thi has been, 18% return is pretty tremendous. I think we have now beat the S & P 500 return. It hows how short term does not signify long term value. This company is a cash machine. Management deeply invested. Goldman Sachs along for the ride.
Company making the best of a bad situation in buying back shares. Shorts covering. Company growing stores.

Tallapoosa Lakes West used be known as River Run. About a year ago, the property (along with the course across the street) was bought by the Poarch Band of Creek Indians. The course was renamed and a casino built on the property. The West course, which stretches to just under 6,600 yards, is pretty forgiving. The fairways are fairly wide and the greens quite receptive. Putting isn't difficult either as the greens are small and fairly flat. What breaks there are are subtle. The flat terrain makes Tallapoosa Lakes a nice course to walk. There are several interesting holes, including the par-3 13th which plays 95 to 160 yards over a small body of water. The picturesque hole has trees growing out of the water and signs warning of the possibility of gators. The dogleg-left par-5 sixth (404 to 504 yards) is a solid hole, requiring a tee shot past a row of trees and a second shot through an opening in the trees and over a small pond. The fifth hole is a good par-4. It plays just 327 yards from the tips, but a pond the guards the left side of the fairway and the front of the green make it a tough hole. It's also easy to hit through the fairway where you'll wind up dealing with one of several moss-covered oaks on the course.
Score: 7 (out of 10)
The range is on the small side, but it is lighted and has a good number of targets. Errant shots on the range can find there way onto the ninth and 10th fairways. The putting green is also on the small side, but it is a good representation of the greens on the course. There is also a short-game practice area with a bunker, but it is on the opposite side of the clubhouse from the putting green. The pro shop is well stocked with equipment (although some of it is quite old) and apparel. The Lakeside Grill offers an excellent selection of food and drink. I recommend the BLT and a glass of sweet tea for lunch.
Score: 4 (out of 5)
No complaints about the service at Tallapoosa Lakes. Every employee we came across was friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome when we walked through the door and getting us on the course quickly. My twosome had no trouble finishing 18 holes in about three hours (we were slowed somewhat after catching with a couple of foursomes around the 14th hole), and we saw a beverage cart several times during our round. We were also taken care of nicely in the grill.
Score: 5 (out of 5)
The fee of $30 is quite reasonable given the condition of the course and the level of service. Making that deal even better is the fact first-time golfers at Tallapoosa Lakes pay only the cart fee of $18. And if you want to play a second 18, the cost is another $18. Putting your name on the club's e-mail list will earn you a free birthday round.
Score: 9 (out of 10)
The course's website claims Tallapoosa Lakes is the state's most popular 36-hole public golf course. I don't know how to prove or disprove that claim, but I will say the course is a good value and can be a lot of fun to play. The East Course (which I will review in my next post) offers just enough of a change of pace to keep any golfer interested. And if you get sick of playing golf and want to play some slot machines, you can do that at the Tallapoosa Casino -- a 21,000-square foot facility with 500 bingo machines and a restaurant.
Final score: 25 (out of 30)
