This is a Mac OS X port of John Jordan's JJFFE, which is itself a reverse engineered version of Frontier: First Encounters, a 1995 computer game developed by David Braben's Frontier Developments.
5th December 2009: MacJJFFE updated - added music support, fullscreen mode, JJFFE config file
29th November 2009: MacJJFFE released
System requirements
You'll need a Mac with an Intel processor, running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) or Snow Leopard (10.6). MacJJFFE won't run on Tiger (10.4). MacJJFFE absolutely will not run on PowerPC Macs, since JJFFE is largely x86 assembler reverse engineered from the original MS-DOS version.
The current version is based on JJFFE 2.8a7.
MacJJFFE_2.8a7-mac2.dmg (Apple Disk Image, 1.11MB) - MacJJFFE disk image
MacJJFFE_2.8a7-mac2_src.tar.bz2 (bzipped archive, 922KB) - source code and Xcode project. For developers.
Just download the disk image, double click to mount, and drag the JJFFE app bundle to your Applications directory.
For the full experience, JJFFE requires the original FFE game data files. You can still run the game without these files, but there will be no sound or music, and you won't be able to read the in-game journals.
Luckily, Frontier Developments re-released FFE as shareware. Here's how to install the FFE game data:
- Download the shareware re-release of FFE.
- Double-click firstenc.zip in Finder to extract it.
- Open the extracted directory and find the 'game' subdirectory.
- Open a new Finder window to /Applications, or wherever you installed the JJFFE app bundle.
- Right-click on JJFFE and choose Show Package Contents.
- Open the 'Contents' directory and then the 'Resources' subdirectory.
- Copy everything in 'game' to 'Resources'.
MacJJFFE runs in a window by default, but you can toggle fullscreen mode by pressing CTRL+F12. To change the default, or to select a different fullscreen mode, you can edit ffemac.cfg in /Applications/JJFFE/Contents/Resources. Most of the options are explained on the JJFFE site, but you'll probably want to fiddle with startfullscreen (0 or 1), winwidth, winheight, fswidth and fsheight.
For help figuring out the game itself, I recommend the guides on Life on the Frontier, and the FAQ and tutorials on Jades' First Encounters Site.
Check the JJFFE FAQ for general questions about JJFFE. For specific help with the Mac version, you can find me on IRC in #alt.fan.elite or #gamedevhell on SynIRC (irc.synirc.net).
MacJJFFE is based on JJFFE, which is a hacked and reverse engineered version of a commercial game. It's probably illegal to download it even if you own the original legally. It will be removed rapidly if anyone complains.

How do you get rid of it?
using a laptop with OSX 10.6, it works but weird controls : A-Z for up-down, but ? for rotating left and strictly no key or combination of keys I tried could steer right, the FFE FAQ doesn't help with that. Anyone could ?
cool, it works!
Many fashion ladies always pursue fashion Cheap Louboutins, they often pay attention to famous brand. Especially purchasing their Discount Christian Louboutin, certainly, they try to choose a pair of distinctive Cheap Louboutin Shoes. Beautifully show daily work profile. It is no doubt that Christian Louboutin Ankle Boots are a fun choice in true fashion for women. This Christian Louboutin Boots will be perfect for the weekdays and the weekends.
How do i save my game. Do i need a certain directory? It just wont let me
To all the ones screaming for an iphone port:
Please read the section "reqirements" above!
The same reason why it doesn´t run on PPC macs applies for the iPhone:
it is ARM based and cannot execute the x86 code ffe is written in. There needs to be a similar approach that has been used for glfrontier from 68k to x86.
Wow an iPhone port would be great! The new iPhone 4 supports connecting an Apple bluetooth keyboard, so it could be played at least with that without the need to re-write all input interfaces :-) and as jailbreaking is no longer illegal, people could install it on their iPhone without Apple store blessings ;-) doc
This is fantastic, I can't thank you enough for this and I'll post about it on my blog too!
Simply awesome ...
I've no doubt that while technically possible to port this to the iPhone, it would not only present a number of interface challenges (No mouse / keyboard) but distribution would be essentially impossible due to it not standing a chance of getting through the AppStore process. However I may give it a go anyway, as pwr has kindly supplied the source and an xcode project to make it easy for me, and respond here withe how it went...
Good day!
Can you port Elite JJFFE то Iphone? Is it real?
It will be amazing! Мany gamers will meet with pleasure Elite on their iDevices.
I confirm it won't run on 10.4.X, but great job otherwise !
David Braben and John Jordan are the heroes here - I'm just the middle man!
Thanks, config file and music are both working well. You are hereby elevated from scholar to God.
Hey Chris,
Config file and music are in - let me know how you get on :)
Looks good so far, would love to know if there is a config file where I can adjust the window size/run fullscreen like you can with the windows JJFFE?
You Sir, are a scholar. Your Timing really couldn't be much better since I googled in the hope of finding something like this 6 days after you throw it out there. If everything works ok I'll be sure to pass this one on to both my dad and brother. Would love to see the music in there if you can figure it out.

The Republican-led House advanced a bill yesterday that would require government weather
agencies to focus more on predicting storms and less on climate studies.
The chamber passed the measure on a voice vote. Prospects in the Democratic-controlled Senate are uncertain, although the House version had 13 Republican and seven Democratic co-sponsors.
The bill to "prioritize weather-related activities" at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies was introduced in 2013 by Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., after dozens of state residents were killed in a series of severe tornadoes.
The measure directs the Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research to develop better forecasting capabilities and improve tornado and hurricane warning systems.
Opponents, including some environmental groups, have criticized the bill as a way to undermine efforts to address climate change.

For centuries, people from around the world have used copper pots to prepare food for family and friends. Recipes, traditions, and even the cookware itself were passed down from generation to generation. As people flocked to the United States in search of a better life, they brought with them these traditions and their cuisine. Any way you slice it, America, "The Great Melting Pot", has been the beneficiary of these traditions.
The Copper Pot restaurant in Englewood, Colorado was created to pay homage to the many cuisines America has to offer. We have put our own mark on regional American classics such as meatloaf, chicken fried steak, macaroni and cheese, fish and chips, and many more. Beyond the food, the idea of bringing back the "neighborhood" restaurant was important. It was in restaurants like this where the staff knew you by name, and became places where families ate together for generations.
At The Copper Pot we deliver my family's experience from the kitchen to bring these fabulous dishes to life, and always provide a comfortable, fun atmosphere that can only be found in an independent restaurant.
Come join us, your table is ready.

Mad Dash to Elkmont
After having been rained out of two trips in July I decided to take an extra day while visiting my son at college. Left Florida Wednesday afternoon and got to Elkmont around mid-night. Camped in the back of my car in C section. Cool temps and the sounds of the Park at night were a relief.
On Thursday I fished the upper half of the campground and managed to lose several nice fish while landing several rainbows and a brown....even early in the day I was only fishing a caddis attractor. I didn't have a lot of time to spend hiking so I opted to fish part of the WPLP gorge below the Chimney's picnic area.
The lower water is a blessing in this stretch and makes for much easier fishing. It was almost 11 by the time I got back on the water. I have posted many times about using bigger terrestrial this time of year...so to practice what I preach I tied on a 14 PMX in yellow and set off. I fished until about 2:30 when I crawled back to the highway.
This was the first opportunity I have had to fish a little bamboo rod I picked up last Christmas. While I lost several nice fish and had one take my first fly I guess I brought 40-50 trout to hand while in the gorge. These fish love this big fly...best part about it is it is so easy for an old fisherman to see. Sometimes there would be 2 or 3 fish to a pool...
Since I had to drive over the Gap to get to my brothers I stopped just above the loop and picked up a nice little brookie to complete my slam for the day. The temps were perfect and drove the rest of the day with the windows down.
Sorry there are no photos but I left my camera in my fanny pack and I only fished with a lanyard that day. This is the best time to fish the park right now....during the week there are very few fishermen or visitors....but won't last for long.
Glad you were able to fish some this trip. Wish you could have stayed longer for some smallie action.
I think that Sept is the month that the park is the least visited. I would have thought it to be Jan or Feb, I think I read that in one of thier pamplets.

Wooing a girl with poetry may be a bit seventeenth century, but today's students can still take advantage of their creative talents. Scholarship poetry contests are common, and writing a poem sure sounds more fun than writing an essay on, let's say, how Lincoln's study of law prepared him for the challenges of presidency (those who disagree may visit Scholarships.com to see if they are eligible.) If you can do better than the trite "Roses are red" love tribute, you may have a shot at winning money for college. Take those poems out of your diary, and share them with the world: it can pay off.
Below are four scholarships for the poets at heart. For other options, you can conduct a scholarship search at Scholarships.com.
Poetry Out Loud Scholarship: Competitive students will like this one. A Poetry Out Loud Contest winner must compete at the classroom level before advancing to the school level. After that, winners move on to the state and then finally get to compete at the National Finals. State winners will receive $200 and an all-expense paid trip to Washington to compete in the national competition (the runners-up will win $100). At the National Finals, a total of $50,000 in scholarships and school grants will be awarded.
Live Poets Society of New Jersey: This is an annual poetry contest for students with a poetic flair and a passion for expression. If you miss this year's deadline, just give it another shot next year: all high school students are eligible. There are many prizes so everyone should try. The best poet will receive the "Poet of the Year" $1,000 scholarship. There will also be a first place winner, 4 second place winners, and 6 third place winners. Numerous honorable mention winners and hundreds of regional winners will be recognized.
Amy Lowell Poetry Traveling Scholarship: The Amy Lowell Scholarship will award students of any age the chance to pursue their education while traveling abroad. Although winners are not required to be enrolled while living abroad, they will not be able to come home either—not even for family visits. Bringing plenty of pictures and singing up for long-distance phone plan is a good idea. The prize is hefty, so those who are willing to cut their strings can make a bundle. For the 2008-2009 year, the award is $49,000. One member of the English Department at Harvard University, two recognized poets and a group of trustees will be judging the entries so proofread twice.
And remember, there's no need to rely on expensive student loan options to pay for your college education. For more information on finding free scholarship money for college, conduct a Scholarships.com free college scholarship search today, then apply and win! It's that easy!
Share your thoughts and perhaps thousands of students will benefit from your unique insight on the subject!

Rain is my cover\r\nFrom the ocean to the sky\r\nLike a blanket falling from heaven\r\nIt is like cold icesicle hitting my face when im sad\r\nIt is warm milk on my skin when im happy\r\n\r\nBut you sometimes scare me rain\r\nYou turn the sky black in the middle of the day\r\nYou throw angry strips of lightning in the clouds\r\nYou thrash at the calm water in the lake\r\nYou drop like a waterfall hitting the sharp rocks at the bottom \r\n\r\nBut just as quickly you come, you go\r\nTaking your safe but scary cover with you\r\nLeaving me alone \r\nAlone in my thoughts \r\nWhere even silence has sound\r\nA place I dare not stay \r\nFor sometimes in my mind I become my own enemy \r\n\r\nThe song says rain, rain go away\r\nBut in my case never leave me ,stay to wash me clean\r\nStay to cover my tears when I cry \r\nYes rain you are my cover \r\nMy safe wet blanket\r\n\r\nPeople may dislike you\r\nCurse when you come\r\nBut me I welcome you \r\nYou are my ironic sunshine \r\nThank you rain

my head is like a crazy maze\r\nas I sit and stare into a daze\r\nMy heart is slipping into the grains\r\nas my head goes crazy in the brain\r\nI feel it close but so far away\r\nbut my vision is blured into a fade\r\nAlone. Alone. Alone.\r\nby myself in what I call home\r\nI hear the whispers of the wind\r\nand russling leaves in a blend\r\nMy mind is going insane\r\nmy body aches with pain\r\nOne two three it all goes away\r\nIn the silence my still body lays.

This synthetic peptide is a modification of the LL-37 cathelicidin peptide in which each aspartic acid of LL-37 is replaced by an asparagine, and glutamic acid by glutamine. The anti-staphylococcal activity LL-37 pentamide is greater than that of LL-37 because multiple acidic residues of human LL-37 reduce its efficacy against Staphylococci.

Last weeks matchup was PAINFUL.
- Rose missed 3 games
- Tyreke missed 3 games
- Gerald Wallace missed 2 games due to trade AND his debut was misreported, I left Dudley on the bench while he had a 40 fantasy point game
- Granger **** the bed every single game
- Gasol **** the bed almost every game
- Harden managed to pick up an injury 2 minutes into the game when he was my last hope
The annoying thing is that my team is doing worse now, when I'm really trying! Faaaaaaail.

F&C wins shareholder approval for BMO takeover
F&C Asset Management shareholders have approved its takeover by the Bank of Montreal after Elliott Advisors, which had built up a 20% stake through derivatives, chose not to vote.
Of shares voted, 99.6% were in favour of the deal, well ahead of the 75% required to get it approved. After taking account of Elliott's un-voted stock, owners of 58% of the company voted.
Elliott Advisors, an activist investor, built a 20% stake in F&C through derivatives contracts known as "contracts for difference". It owns an economic interest in F&C equivalent to 20.36% of the voting stock, according to regulatory filings.
The derivatives give an economic exposure to the firm's shares but do not grant voting rights. However, holders of CFDs can sometimes instruct their brokers, who hold the related stock, to vote on their behalf.
Elliott Advisors has been building its stake in F&C since late last year, before Bank of Montreal made its 120p-a-share cash offer in January, which values F&C at £708 million. Elliott was adding to its holding as recently as the end of last week.
F&C's share price spiked at 125p a share in the immediate wake of the BMO offer. The shares were trading at 120p before today's vote, suggesting the market believes today's vote will go through. Analysts say it is now likely that the Bank of Montreal deal will go through, although a rival bidder still has until May 7, when its offer closes, to spoil the party.
*Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that, of shares voted, 91.8% were in favour. The correct figure is 99.6%.

Learning from Animals: Evolutionary Medicine with a Twist
In 2005, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz was called to the zoo to examine a non-human patient, an emperor tamarin with heart failure. She was surprised when the veterinarian told her not to look her patient in the eyes because eye contact could cause capture myopathy. In this condition, when an animal is captured, restrained, and feels threatened, there is a catastrophic surge of adrenaline that damages muscle tissues and can kill. It was described decades ago, but medical doctors don't read the veterinary literature. It wasn't until the early 2000s that American doctors began to recognize a similar phenomenon in human patients, takotsubo or stress-induced cardiomyopathy.
She began to wonder whether animals got other human diseases. She quickly learned that they did. Jaguars get breast cancer and may carry the same BRCA1 gene that plagues Ashkenazi Jewish women, rhinos get leukemia, penguins get melanoma, gorillas die from ruptured aortas, and koalas are in the midst of an epidemic of sexually transmitted chlamydia. Wild dragonflies infected with parasites become obese and develop a form of metabolic syndrome. Pretty much every human disorder occurs in animals too.
With the help of writer Kathryn Bowers, she distilled her findings into a book: Zoobiquity: What Animals Can Teach Us About Health and the Science of Healing. It's a good read: informative, well argued, spiced with intriguing trivia, and more entertaining than a trip to the zoo. (more…)

One thing you've got to admit about Senator Bob Casey is that he doesn't give up. Casey is proposing two pieces of legislation directed at the plight of dairy farmers.
The first bill is called the Federal Milk Improvement Act of 2011, numbered S-1640, and the second is a bill called the Dairy Improvement Act, numbered S-1682.
Bill S-1682 is being opposed by Arden Tweksbury of the Progressive Agriculture Organization (ProAg), a leading dairy farmer advocate. "It doesn't help dairy farmers," Tweksbury simply said without explanation. "The bill that we support with enthusiasm is Casey's Federal Milk Improvement of 2011, S-1640. This is the only dairy bill on the docket that makes any sense."
Casey's efforts in S-1640 are to provide a fair pricing system for milk farmers. This legislative effort, which got nowhere in the Senate last year, was made in conjunction with then Senator Arlen Specter.
Even with Specter gone, Casey is on the front lines battling for a simple concept like including the cost of production in formulating the price it costs a dairy farmer to produce milk for the market. "The cost of production should be an essential factor in determining what a farmer gets for his labor," Casey has been saying for the last few years.
Brian Smith, a former dairyman, chairman of the Wayne County Commissioners and a former member of the Dairy Farmers of America board, the local coop in Northeast Pennsylvania, agrees. "As a businessman, it doesn't make sense to sell your product for less than it cost you to make it, and then buy an insurance policy to try to make up the difference when all you're doing is losing money."
The milk coops and other milk businesses are pushing farmers to buy the insurance policy that Smith is referring to. "Like every other business, a farmer should be given the opportunity to make a living on his labor," Smith said. "The processor's coops are the ones that are making it difficult to adopt a pricing system that makes sense to the farmers."
"In our opinion, Casey's bill is the only proposed dairy legislation that will allow the average dairy farmer to cover their cost of operation and return a profit to his dairy farm," Tewksbury said.
On October 26, over 26 members and friends of ProAg traveled to Washington, DC. The ProAg members anticipate that some of the senators that had their aides present for the briefing will join forces with Senator Casey and start to move S-1640 forward, Tewksbury said.
"Small farms are finding it difficult to make it with the recent heavy rain and high labor costs with this pricing system," said Waymart dairy farmer Joe Davitt. "The pricing system is grossly unfair. The coops aren't the ones that determine prices. It's the Chicago Mercantile Exchange that does and no one really knows how the pricing system works."
Both Smith and Davitt agree that if farms continue to go out of business, milk products will come from other countries like China and Brazil.
"Casey's 1640 bill is the only answer we have right now and it has to get more cosponsors so that it passes," Tewksbury said. "Call your congressman and senator and get them to support it."

Total Funding Amount/Approximate Number of Awards
The number of awards and the award amount will be based on the final US Department of Education (USED) award notification and number of quality proposals approved. Grants funded by the 21st CCLC program may supplement, but NOT supplant, existing out-of-school funding or programs. Proposals will be reviewed pending successful completion of ALL required components as specified in the Request for Application (RFA).

funny how everyone remembers it as Tuffour leaving us wide open on the wing and not his centre leaving him stranded with half a pitch width to cover.
Was the centre Esders or Garside? Can't recall.
Score was 76 v 38 though. Me dad was wandering around in shock saying "How the hell you score 38 points and still get beat I'll never know"
I know what you mean about his centre but it was funny at the time, centre was I think.
Certainly not a day for defences

Vermont Law School teacher named new judge
MONTPELIER Vermont Law School adjunct professor Kevin Griffin, of Norwich, will serve as a Superior Court judge assigned to Chittenden County.
Gov. Peter Shumlin announced the appointment Monday.
Kevins extensive litigation background in family and criminal law, as well as his 15 years on the local school board and other civic contributions, ensure he brings broad experience to the court, Shumlin said in a statement.

text: HI! My little girl is almost 11 months old. She's still bf & she eats solids too. I've been giving her a 4 oz jar of organic baby food about 3 times a day & also let her try whatever I'm eating - she eats almost everything very happily. Lately she's been getting really fussy with her baby food & only eats some of it instead of all of it or refuses it all together, but she'll eat any table food that I will give her & wants more. She's been teething for what seems like forever, but no teeth yet & she loves to gnaw on everything. She's really good at mashing w/her jaws. I bought a few jars of the 3rd food jars & she WILL NOT eat them at all - I've tried moving back & forth between the 2nd foods & the 3rd foods with no luck. Should I give up the jars & start giving her only table foods & finger foods? If I do this, how much should I give her?

Steaming Recipes
Say "full steam ahead" to retain flavor and nutrients by steaming vegetables and fish
In the June issue of Healthy Cooking, we had recipes, tips and product reviews focused on cooking with steam. Since this is such a healthy way to cook (it retains many vitamins and minerals and uses little-to-no fat), we've decided to provide you even more test-kitchen proven recipes.
Steamed Broccoli Florets
This is a delightful, fast-to-fix side dish has a tart mustard vinaigrette that is sure to please. My Aunt Marion was a wonderful cook who gave me many recipes, including this one for Steamed Broccoli Florets.
—Peggy Van Arsdale, Crosswicks, New Jersey
Steamed Vegetable Ribbons
These extra-thin slices of zucchini and carrot will add a pretty touch to a dinner plate. Consider these Steamed Vegetable Ribbons the next time you want to perk up your dinnertime standbys.
—Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin
Sesame Steamed Zucchini
Here's a super-simple way to dress up zucchini. The Asian flavor and sesame seed crunch make this Sesame Steamed Zucchini side dish a treat to eat! Tip Idea: Yellow summer squash could be substituted for some of the zucchini.
—Wanda Penton, Franklinton, Louisiana
Lemon-Dill Steamed Vegetables
For a pretty side dish, try this lovely combination of Lemon-Dill Steamed Vegetables. Tossed with a buttery sauce seasoned with lemon and dill, the delicious and nutritious blend cooks in minutes on the stove.

Even in the 21st century, local newspapers provide many vital services to their readers and the communities they serve.
Source of information for news about crime, construction, schools and more? Check.
Government watchdog? Uh huh.
Place to find coupons, bargains, and other valuable information about area retailers and service providers? Yep.
Help for planning your weekend? You betcha.
More cynical readers likely would say that their local newspaper is best used as a bird-cage liner or a temporary floor mat when painting the house. That might not be a vital service, but it's a service nonetheless.
Then there's this:
According to area police, a couple from Pistakee Highlands found a more sinister use for the newspaper.
Authorities say that Jacquelyn Buchholz and Jason Werner scoured obituary notices in local newspapers, including this one, to determine when families would be attending wakes or funerals. They then allegedly burglarized the homes when they knew no one would be there.
Their apparent undoing came when they found the family of a Barrington home they targeted still at home. Rather than give up, Buchholz rang the doorbell of a neighboring home, police said. When no one answered, she allegedly forced open a rear window and crawled through. But a resident was home, and he chased Buchholz back out the window, police said.
During her escape, Buchholz apparently dropped her cellphone. A Barrington patrol officer found it in the area, leading police to the couple.
To date, Buchholz and Werner are charged with a single count each of residential burglary and theft stemming from the Barrington break-in. But they still are being investigated in several other burglaries in the area, and additional charges are expected.
Breaking into someone's home is bad enough. But targeting families who are mourning the loss of a loved one? That's, well, despicable.
• • •
Protect yourself: Barrington police offered these tips to protect your home if your name was publicized in connection with an event that will happen at a specific time and place away from your home:
• Contact your police department to see whether they can offer an extra watch for the day(s) you will be away.
• Leave a car parked in the driveway or ask a trusted neighbor to park there while you are away.
• Leave lights on, or a radio/television. For extended absences, use timers.
• Ask a trusted neighbor to house-sit or keep an extra eye until you get back.
• Don't post your location information on social media sites when you are away from home.
• • •
Who won?: A number of folks have asked me the past few days what I thought of the first presidential debate. I had to tell them that I didn't watch it.
It's not because I didn't want to watch. I just happened to be booked solid all day Wednesday into the night.
We held our first-ever Best Under 40 dinner and awards ceremony Wednesday evening at the Crystal Lake Country Club. There, we honored the McHenry County Business Journal's 2012 class of 15 outstanding young professionals under the age of 40 who are making a difference, both in their trade as well as in their communities. Congratulations to each of the recipients, who are listed at the bottom of this column. It was a great event, though I couldn't stay for all of it.
That's because after some socializing and opening remarks, I drove to McHenry West High School for a special screening of the anti-bullying documentary "Finding Kind." The Northwest Herald co-sponsored the event and helped pay to bring in the movie's creators, Molly Thompson and Lauren Parsekian.
Thompson and Parsekian introduced their film before the screening, and then led the audience of about 400 through a portion of their Kind Campaign program afterward. It was an emotional experience.
We co-sponsored the event as part of our bullying series, "Confronting the Bully." If you missed it in print, "Confronting the Bully" still can be read and viewed (yes, there are videos) in its entirety at www.nwherald.com/projects/bullying.
• • •
Still going: Even later Wednesday evening, we launched our expanded and vastly improved PlanitNorthwest.com site.
Celebrating its third birthday this month, PlanitNorthwest.com is the go-and-do website for McHenry County, complete with reduced-price vouchers, coupons and other deals from area restaurants and retailers. Last week, we expanded the content on the site, adding all of the Northwest Herald's award-winning entertainment and lifestyle content.
In print, we also repackaged and rebranded our Thursday entertainment section – now called PlanitPl@y – and today's lifestyle section. You're going to want to spend some time with Planit Style Sunday. It's filled with tons of great local features, columns, and other interesting stories.
And if you haven't been to PlanitNorthwest.com, give it a visit.
Let me know what you think of the website and our updated feature sections. My contact information is below.

We agree with Merrill that the bowl of eggs is beautiful. You don't need much else: ramps, pancetta, pasta, Pecorino Romano, and lemon juice.
The ramps are front and center in this dish -- allium lovers, rejoice.
Separate the shoots into bulbs and leaves (we'll be cooking them separately).
Merrill first roughly slices the white ramps bulbs...
Then finishes with a medium chop.
Prepping the ramp greens reminded us of slicing basil -- in both, you start by layering 5-10 leaves.
Instead of rolling the leaves into a cigar, though, here we just slice them into quarter-inch ribbons.
Merrill gets cracking on the eggs.
A quick whisk to break up the yolks, and we're on to the next step.
Grated Parmesan and Romano work their funky, salty magic on the carbonara. Don't skimp on these!
And what would carbonara be without black pepper?
Now it's time to brown the diced pancetta. meganvt01 has us start them out in a little bit of olive oil.
Once crispy and browned, we added the wine to bubble and reduce.
Fish out that pancetta and save it for later -- it'll be back.
It's the ramps' turn now. We'll let these saute for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, the water's boiling! This is definitely one of those dishes you take from start to finish in the time it takes to boil pasta.
A pound of spaghetti bubbles away.
Recognize these guys? The ramps have softened and caramelized, and they smell amazing.
Now it's time for these leaves to get a quick wilting -- meal's almost ready.
Add back that pancetta, as well. Wouldn't want to forget it!
If you're feeling sneaky, you could even serve this as a side dish and call it a day. (Don't worry, we won't be doing that.)
In goes the pasta, ready for a quick tossing job with those tongs.
Before the pasta cools down, add in the egg-and-cheese mixture -- it'll emulsify with the pasta water on the hot spaghetti into a creamy sauce.
Carbonara, vegetables included.
It's an entire meal in one dish.
The ingredients are simple enough: crusty baguette, mint, pea shoots, ricotta, lemon, and ramps.
Start off by slicing the baguette -- cutting diagonally ensures a larger surface to spread with ricotta!
Like a carbo-loaded jigsaw puzzle.
Line up the slices on a baking sheet in preparation for toasting.
Each baguette raft gets brushed with olive oil -- toast gone luxe.
Merrill takes only a moment to julienne mint into shreds. Looks like plastic Easter grass!
You'll want a good kick of lemon zest for the ricotta spread.
Mincing those ramps -- this recipe uses only the bulbs. Remember to save the leaves for another use!
We pulled the bread out of the oven JUST in the nick of time -- these were almost ready to burn.
It all starts with some good ricotta. You can make your own, if you like.
With the addition of olive oil and black pepper, it's already looking good.
A&M briefly discussed how to stir the mixture before pulling out the mini-whisk to get the job done.
Now it's getting good: minced ramp bulbs hide under mint and lemon zest to complete the flavor trifecta.
Give it all a quick stir, and it's time for assembly.
Trying not to eat it with a spoon, slather the delicious mix onto your toasts.
A sprig of fresh-tasting pea shoot and we're done!
Put these in the cocktail party rotation.

Pat JonesLow Vision Assistant Coordinator, Ophthamology and Visual Sciences, UNMC
On behalf of the Board of Regents I am pleased to present a KUDOS award to Pat Jones, the Low Vision Assistant Coordinator for Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Co-workers say Pat represents quality, caring, empathy, high standards and is the poster person for excellence in everything she does. She strives to make each day better than the previous day, and wants the best for every patient as well as every employee. She constantly shows the positive side of UNMC to all those around her.
Pat has spent the past three years with the driving passion of establishing a low vision rehabilitation house at UNMC – and was diligent in helping to keep the dream alive. Ground was recently broken for just such a facility, which will open in the spring of 2008. And Pat worked tirelessly to help make it happen.
Through it all, colleagues say, Pat remains a calm, patient, conscientious and caring employee. In addition to her assigned duties working with low vision clients, she makes the workplace better for each employee. She remembers birthdays, special occasions and is always there when a thoughtful listener is needed.
Pat says of her work: "It's satisfying to be part of a service that provides renewed hope to people who face the challenges of living with low vision. I like to help them maintain their independence and improve their quality of life."

Two hundred and thirty two million dollars: Some might say that is an awesome amount of money, others may think it's a paltry sum. We say it is needed.
There is only a $232 million difference between what the State Board recommended for schools and the Governor's recommendation. The amount is less than 1-percent of the total amount of Fiscal Year 2004 General Funds appropriations of $23.315 billion. The $232 million difference was the subject of my testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee yesterday.
Let me illustrate the difference for you:
$250 increase in the General State Aid $354.5 million*
100% of statutory formulas for MCATs $139.0 million
$493.5 million
Then when you add in the reinstatement of the $19 million for the Gifted Program, the $30 million for Early Childhood, the additional $23 million for Extended Learning Opportunities, the $13 million increase for Bilingual Education, and the other important initiatives that were included in the State Board of Education's FY 05 budget recommendation you come up with $632 million.
The State Board spent months putting together its budget
recommendation. It was a labor intensive process. It was an itemization of
priorities. It was a very intense effort to try to best maintain our educational
foundation in
My support of the State Board budget recommendation remains unwavering because I know it spreads the money as fairly as possible, in the areas of greatest need and represents the funding principles presented to us by the Education Funding Advisory Board.
But, when you subtract $232 million from that recommendation, you land in the bargain basement of school funding. It's a dark hole, with a lump sum of money hanging overhead, where we are surrounded by lots of questions, no answers, and no clear cut priorities.
The cheaper alternative, the ambiguous alternative is not the better alternative.
We have a month to go in this legislative session. Remember the sound and fury with which it began? How everyone thought that based on that tenor that education was going to be a priority? I'm glad to say that the rhetoric has died down, but conversely sad to say that's in its absence we have yet to have any clarity on what education really means to the Governor's administration.
I will say that when we do emerge from the dark, I hope that schools are funded adequately enough to keep their lights on. I hope that includes the opportunities to mentor and support our underachievers through the Extended Learning program, to better fund our bilingual programs and additional funds for our System of Support. That's what we recommended, and while that is still not enough, it's better than teaching in the dark.
* I also want to share with the most recent estimates for General State Aid, including the poverty component, based on the EAV information that we just received from the Department of Revenue. This was used in my testimony before the Senate Appropriations Committee this week and with the new EAV information reflects the decrease in the total amount of new money needed for the $250 per pupil increase to GSA. http://www.isbe.net/news/2004/FY05GSA506_prelim_county.pdf

Legislative Update
House Speaker Michael Madigan has scheduled a special Elementary and Secondary Education Committee hearing for Tuesday, April 27 at to take testimony on the Governor's proposed restructuring of the State Board of Education. I appreciate the opportunity Speaker Madigan and the members of the House committee are giving us to show how a new bureaucracy with a different name will not solve the critical issues facing our schools.
Also coming up next week on April 28 at will be a hearing on teacher certification issues.
Earlier this week I appeared before the House Elementary and Secondary Education Appropriation Committee to testify regarding poverty grants. As I am sure many of you are keenly aware, the new poverty formula is based on a count by the Department of Human Services on the number of children being served within districts instead of the decennial U.S. Census. While school districts that would have lost funding due to the formula change were completely held harmless for the first year, next year's hold harmless drops to 66 percent.
The issue facing the legislature this session is whether or not to extend the hold harmless and, if so, to what percentage. An approximate $16.5 million increase will be required in next year's budget in order to ensure schools do not lose poverty grant money.
I also testified before the Senate Appropriation II Committee concerning the proposed ISBE budget for Fiscal Year 2005.
Also last week, the House introduced and passed an amendment to House Bill 1271 that would restore the $1.5 million appropriation to ISBE from the Teacher Certificate Fee Revolving Fund for the current fiscal year. Last year the appropriation for teacher certification reduced by Governor Blagojevich to only $375,000, resulting in dramatic cuts in ISBE staff that process teacher certifications. The measure to restore the funds now moves to the Senate.
The Senate also passed an amended version of House Bill 850 which could lower property taxes for some Illinoisans, while at the same time pull desperately needed funding away from schools. The bill would allow counties to adopt a property tax cap to limit any increases in assessed valuation to seven percent per year. The loss of local revenue to school districts would not be recoverable from General State Aid. House Bill 850 has been sent back to the House for consideration.
Below are House bills that passed out of the Senate Education Committee and will be considered by the full Senate:
HB4944 (Vince Demuzio), identical to SB2732, would establish, subject to appropriations, a three-year technology immersion pilot project to provide a wireless laptop computer to each student, teacher, and relevant administrator in a participating school and implement the use of software, on-line courses, and other appropriate learning technologies that have been shown to improve academic achievement and specified progress measures. It provides that the State Board of Education shall select 7 (instead of 8) school districts to participate in the pilot project, one located in the City of Chicago, 3 located in the area that makes up of the counties of DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will, and that portion of Cook County that is located outside of the City of Chicago, and 3 located in the remainder of the State. A similar measure, HB 4944, also passed the House.
Y. Collins) amends the Charter Schools Law of the School Code. It would

Boy dies following pit bull attack
Two pit bulls attack 14-month-old boy
The Walworth County Sheriff's Office said a 14-month-old boy has died after being attacked by two pit bulls Wednesday.
The Walworth County Sheriff's Office got a 911 call from a 30-year-old woman early Wednesday afternoon saying she and a 14-month-old boy were being attacked by pit bulls.
The caller said she and the boy were being attacked by two pit bulls she owns in the Town of Walworth. The animals were removed and euthanized.
The woman said both she and the boy suffered multiple injuries.
Sheriff's officials said the young boy was initially transported by ambulance to Mercy-Walworth Medical Center and Hospital and then flown to a Milwaukee-area hospital with critical injuries.
The Walworth County Coroner's Office confirmed that the boy succumbed to his injuries and died at a Milwaukee-area hospital Wednesday afternoon.
People who knew the boy, identified as Daxton Borchard, said they are devastated.
"He is adorable, absolutely adorable. It's just real sad," said Nicole Jennison, who used to babysit the toddler.
"He had the biggest eyes, a great smile. He was a great little boy," said family friend Valerie Brylow.
Capt. Dana Nigbor said an autopsy is scheduled for Thursday, and there likely won't be charges in this case.
The Sheriff's Office said it's continuing to investigate.

Things We'll Miss About Lou…
Jesus and I may not love the uni he's been donning the last few years; but heck, it'd be pretty sacrilegious to hate on a man who has provided the masses with unfettered improvisational entertainment throughout his entire career.
So Al, I and the RSBS interns would all like to wish Lou Piniella the very best in his retirement while reminiscing on those things we'll miss the most about him:
His Preggers Belly
You know the drill. Lou shows up to Arizona in the Spring in excellent shape, nary a roll on his tummy. A few hapless months of frustrating baseball and countless cold ones later and he magically looks like he oughta be resting for the end of his third trimester. Some managers utilize the brim of their caps to intimidate umpires during a raucous; Lou bumps bellies.
His Love for the Bottle
Realize that I realize that I am taking certain liberties in proclaiming that Lou has a love for booze. I mean, he's a man. He's also a ballplayer. And he's often seen in the clubhouse with a drink in his hand. So that makes him like 90% of the people I know on earth (me included) which makes me like him even more. It almost makes me want to bar hop the Tampa Bay metro area until I eventually run into him. I can't promise I'll be able to form coherent sentences at that point, but I would sure try.
Be good, Lou. Be good.
And come back if ya want. Baseball without you just won't be the same.
Hate me 'cuz I hate on your sCrUBBIES, just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
10 Comments
Lou did not have love of the grape like the Rays current skipper, but he did have a love of a good bottle and a great cigar. Piniella was known to be a great lover of the best of things his position enabled him to enjoy because of his stature.
I always liked hearing Piniella laugh with fellow coach and great friend Matt Sinatro when he was with the Rays. Lou will find another way to entertain us within the scope of the game…But next time he will have a suit on, and might make all of us marvel at his intelligence and savvy too.
Rays Renegade
Can you imagine all the stories he could tell you Jeff if you were to have drinks with him? Heck I'd bar hop the Tampa Bay metro to hear them. Yep, baseball without Lou wont' be the same.
Aw, Lou….he is quite the character. Baseball will miss him. I hope he decides to come back eventually. I'm going to miss his eruptions.
RR — Maybe he'll swing by your favorite watering hole. I expect pictures if he does!
Emma — I'm sure those stories (most of them anyway) would be rated NC-17.
Virginia — I think he's done now. Could be wrong… we'll see.
Love the belly. It's like he grows a new one every year. I'd be surprised if he stays retired; playing golf and going fishing can get boring for a guy with all that passion for the game.
I was never a big fan of Lou's before he got to the Cubs. And he wasn't the Lou with the Cubs that fans thought they were getting.
He was an ***-kicking boss with the Reds and Seattle, he was my crazy old Uncle Larry with the Cubs.
Still, the guy was in baseball for 50 years and it's sad to see him go out this way, even for family reasons.
Jane — Haha! So right. I think I would enjoy fishing and golfing all the time. If only I could afford to retire…
Russel — You're right in your analysis. He was different with the Cubs. Futility does strange things to people.
Yes baseball will not be the same, but then didn't someone once say something about the need for 'Change' (he says sarcastically)…. just one less character to find endless humor in, the 'homer simpson' of the sCrUBS..
Are you comparing the POTUS to Lou, Peter? Light years apart… yet curiously intriguing.
He lost a chunk of the belly and a big part of the fire went along with it. Maybe that was his downfall.

Reviews for Special Creamed Corn
"I made this for an outdoor BBQ. Everyone loved it! I reduced the sugar to two tablespoons, increased the pepper to a 1/4 teaspoon and used two bags of frozen corn which equals about 7 cups. I will make this again."
"Made this for Thanksgiving but decided to use fresh corn off the cob... there was none left... everyone enjoyed it."
"LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! Bought the Taste of Home Holiday cookbook a few years ago and flipped through and found this. I've made it for each family gathering since. @DDarby1290 (and anyone else interested), I always heat this up ahead of time, then broil with cheese on top when ready or when the oven is available. :)"
"I found this recipe several years ago and have made it numerous times for holiday meals and special events. I have passed it on to others who just had to have the recipe. Tonight I was looking for a printable version for my cousin who I told about it tonight. It is delicious and I will be serving it as usual for both Thanksgiving and Christmas!"
"Sounds very good! Has anyone tried making this ahead of time and heating in the oven prior to broiling?"
"Loved this recipe. Went over really well with the whole family. I used a mixture of canned creamed corn and whole kernel corn just because I had it on hand. I also topped with a bread crumb and Parmesan cheese mixture to absorb some of the liquid and it turned out really well. It has already been requested again for next Thanksgiving."
"I made this for the first time last year and it was a hit!"
"I found this to be way to sweet. I will be experimenting to see how much sugar I actually like. I'm currently thinking a little over half what it calls for. And I think adding green peppers and sugarsnap peas would be great in this."
"This is a delicious dish that my whole family loves."
"We had this corn for Thanksgiving it was DELICIOUS, and the kids have asked to make it for Christmas"

A Clovis man was transported to Roosevelt General Hospital shortly before 5 p.m. Monday after being involved in a one-vehicle rollover.
The accident occurred in front of the Midway Convention Center on U.S. 70 when the northbound Chrysler New Yorker left the roadway on the right side. Roosevelt County Sheriff Darren Hooker said the vehicle traveled through the ditch until it hit a concrete culvert causing it to roll several times.
Hooker said deputies cut the man loose from his seatbelt but his injuries appeared to be minor.

New OVM Server for SPARC WP
By mramcha on Mar 15, 2013
I've been working mainly on Engineered Systems, more specifically SPARC SuperCluster for the past year, and it occurred to me that the way that we use layered virtualisation within the SSC is not very heavily publicised, and although you could derive these configurations from the OVM Server for SPARC documentation, it wasn't clear that this was considered a valid way of configuring a T-Series based server.
One of the ways that the SSC achieves such high levels of performance and efficiency, is that all the domains are built as root domains, which means that there is zero virtualisation overhead within these domains. Implementing Root Domains with Oracle VM Server for SPARC co-written by me, Mikel Manitius and Jeff Savit explains how this is achieved, and how to use these techniques on your own T4 based servers, to get the same kind of benefits.
Happy Reading!

Snow, sleet are good news, bad news in Vt.February 28,2013
Storm packs punch in south
The Associated Press
A winter storm packed snow onto the mountains of Vermont and dumped a mixture of snow and rain in the lower elevations Wednesday, delighting ski resorts but causing problems for motorists and knocking out power to more than 270 homes.
By noon Wednesday, the mountain town of Woodford had already reported 11.8 inches, the National Weather Service said.
Mount Snow in West Dover had reported 7 to 9 inches of new snow and more was on the way as the storm was expected to continue overnight and into Thursday. The southern Green Mountains was forecast to get more than a foot. Other mountain areas could get 8 to 10 inches. Lower elevations could see several inches by this morning, as rain turns to snow, said Andy Nash, a National Weather Service forecaster in Burlington.
Ski areas reaped the benefit of elevation and were picking up some substantial accumulations of snow.
according to Tony Vazzano, of North Winds Weather, which tailors forecasts for many ski areas in northern New England.
This is a good day for the mountains, no question about it, Vazzano said. Vazzano said the Stratton and Killington ski areas in Vermont had 7 inches of new snow by Wednesday afternoon.
The mountains and ski areas are doing pretty good, Nash said. Theyre going to get the jackpot with this storm.

Note to Yankee Fans: Your OWN Tradition Says You Don't Need Names On Your Jerseys
And since I have heard the Yankee fan speech on why names are not pertinent to your ball club more times than Alex Rodriguez has lied to the public, I say ya'll should stick to your own program.
Just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
(Image courtesy of the Associated Press)
11 Comments
Wow. Names are not pertinent? The Yankees are more hypocritical than I thought!
I always thought nameless jerseys were stupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can understand at where people know them already but on the road it's stupid.
Up In Section 360
Weren't the Yankees the first team to put names on their uniforms?
Ummm… Uh… Err…. We're still better than you! Haha, but Jeff, there is a small reason some people may buy those. They're cheaper when they have names on the back, because the nameless ones are "authentic".
I'm against names on the backs of jerseys for the players. But for us lug nuts who wear the jerseys at home? Who cares?
Interesting how the ones with names are more expensive. Does that make any sense, because it doesn't to me?
The whole work ethic/team unity thing doesn't apply today. No more are the Yankees just a number of guys that all contribute heavily in their own way. They never really were with Babe Ruth stealing the spotlight in the 20's. I guess that attitude change in the 30's and 40's. Now, all the players are out money. Maybe Jeter actually cares about the team, I don't know?? I definately agree with this post. Those fans have to get it together! It is probably my most hated Yankee pet peeve too, among many.
Apparently🙂 Was worth a shot though.
Seeing as how there is very little that is truly authentic about most Yankees fans (many lack greatly in the following categories: knowledge of baseball, knowledge of the team, knowledge of driving laws, knowledge of reading and writing), this should not come as a surprise.
To those Yankees fans who have been fans for more than the Jeter era I would say this to you, by an authentic nameless jersey, and wear it to a Knicks game. If anyone at the game asks you, 'Whose jersey is that?' Slap them. That's pride.

Three local residents were named among 32 people, including 17 correctional officers from the McConnell Unit prison, indicted on federal charges that range from selling drugs within the prison to smuggling phones for gang members.
"That should send a clear warning to state leadership there is a problem," said Lance Lowry, president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
The union leader said the indictments highlight a much larger problem, the inability of the Legislature to keep up with pay and training for the men and women who form the "frontline of defense" to prevent prison gang violence.
"Prison gangs are the equivalent of the drug cartel on this side of the border," he said, adding that he would like to see a 14 percent pay raise for correctional officers, along with better training and screening of applicants.
Although we're in agreement that more needs to be done, that may not be realistic – especially when competing with public education, highways and other demands on limited state funds. And though it should be higher, the pay for correctional officers will never be able to keep up with jobs in the Eagle Ford oil boom.
Also, we're not certain that raising pay alone will solve the problem. It seems that greed and corruption always will snag a few "bad apples" at every level of pay grade, from prisons to Wall Street corporations.
Regarding the second story, a possible $15.3 million bond issue to finance an alternative water supply, we will reserve judgment.
Yes, we have begged the city leaders for months, even years, to do something about our dire water situation. We are pleased they see the necessity of taking action to supplement our aging surface water delivery system.
But 15 million dollars? Wow, that's a chunk of change. That would mean a property tax increase of $17.63 a month for a $75,000 home in Beeville, using a 3.9 percent interest rate for planning purposes, on a typical payback period of 25 years.
We realize that several engineering firms have been hired to study the problem, but has the city truly explored all its options? What about the groundwater wells already in existence at Chase Field owned by the Bee Development Authority? Couldn't those wells be utilized to blend with the Nueces River water for a vastly lower amount?
Also we know some experts are questioning the decision to drill a deep well into the Jasper Aquifer and pump water through a reverse osmosis filtering device to reduce the suspended solids to make the water acceptable under state standards. They say it's an expensive process.
Many citizens will be anxiously awaiting further council meetings and public hearings on the matter before the May 11 election.

By Casey Peacock: PNT Staff Reporter
In front of a packed house, the hard work paid off for several 4-H and FFA members as they received awards during the Junior Livestock Awards ceremony on Friday night.
During the awards ceremony, Elida FFA member Ryan Best picked up six buckles, four of which were for showmanship. His sister Reavis also picked up a showmanship buckle, earning the brother and sister team five of the six buckles awarded for showmanship.
Ryan received showmanship awards in lambs, steers, and breeding beef. He was also awarded for his reserve champion goat, grand champion breeding heifer and also in the production swine contest.
"Overwhelmed. It's pretty big. I've never had a fair like this," Ryan said.
In light of a difficult year for the family after the death of his older sister in an auto accident this spring, the awards were an indication of all the hard work that was put forth by both he and his sister, Ryan said.
Reavis picked up a showmanship buckle in goats and also received the buckle for grand champion county bred lamb.
"It feels really good. It kinda gives you a good feeling that all of your hard work pays off," Reavis said.
As the ceremony came to close, the 2007 Roosevelt County Fair Queen was crowned. Winning this years title was Carissa Swift.
"I'm excited, I'm just focusing on next year," Swift said of her upcoming reign.
The lone contestant, Swift stated that she had to put in a lot of hard work. During practices, the coaches challenged her to put forth her best effort, in preparation of her run for state fair queen next year, she said.
"They knew what I needed to work on and what I needed to do," Swift said.
Receiving the title of princess was Raegan Whited and the title of sweetheart went to Audrey Beverage.
According to fairboard president Tim Allison, the fair has gone well. He attributed the success to the many volunteers that devote their time to the fair and to the kids, he said.
"There's so many people that volunteer their time and money to make this thing work. It's just amazing," Allison said.
