Headlines (News Releases)
Call for entries: 2012 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jan 12/12| For Immediate Release
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Entries are being sought for the 2012 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction, a $10,000 literary award that recognizes excellence in Canadian creative non-fiction. The award is administered by Wilfrid Laurier University.
Designed to encourage new Canadian talent, the award is open to authors who have published a first or second book with a Canadian locale and/or significance. The 2012 award is open to works published in the 2011 calendar year and distinguished by first-hand research, well-crafted interpretive writing and a creative use of language or approach to the subject matter.
Entries must be received by Monday, April 30, 2012 to be considered. To obtain an entry form and a complete list of submission guidelines, please visit www.wlu.ca/staebleraward.
The winner will be announced in September, 2012. The author will be presented with the award and make appearances in Waterloo and Brantford in November, 2012.
Helen Waldstein Wilkes won the 2011 Edna Staebler Award for Letters from the Lost: A Memoir of Discovery. The memoir weaves letters, imaginary conversations and one womans search for answers into a compelling narrative of what it means to be a Jew, a survivor and a family member without a family. At age 60, Waldstein Wilkes opens a small box that was left by her father in their southern Ontario home. The box holds letters from the lost letters from family members left behind in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia. Waldstein Wilkes follows the letters trail back to Europe to discover that the lost homeland, past and family are part of her self.
Other winners of the Edna Staebler Award include authors Linden MacIntyre, Wayson Choy and Elizabeth Hay.
Established and endowed by writer and literary journalist Edna Staebler, the Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction has been administered by Wilfrid Laurier University since 1991. Laurier is the only university in Canada to bestow a nationally recognized literary award. Staebler, who died in 2006, was an award-winning journalist and a member of the Order of Canada.

Advocates offer solutions to combat veteran suicide
WASHINGTON Officials from the Department of Veterans Affairs and veterans advocates including one Vermont official appeared before a congressional committee Wednesday to offer solutions on how to stem a wave of suicides among former members of the armed forces.
In Vermont, about 21 percent of all suicides are committed by veterans, according to a report released by the VA last month.
Nationwide, We are losing about 22 veterans every single day as a result of suicide, said Sen. Bernard Sanders, I-Vt., chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. Thats more than 8,000 veterans every year.
Sanders presided at Wednesdays hearing, during which several of those testifying advocated a more streamlined process for veterans seeking treatment and an increase in the number of mental health clinicians employed by the VA while also stressing the benefits of veteran-to-veteran outreach.
During the hearing, Andre Wing, the team leader for the Vermont Veterans Outreach Program an initiative sponsored by the VA and the National Guard said that one of the hurdles for Vermont veterans seeking treatment was the rural nature of the state.
In the past many veterans would miss their appointments or didnt bother enrolling because they could not afford the travel and/or didnt have transportation, said Wing, who noted the relative scarcity of public transportation in Vermont.
To deal with that issue, Wings outreach specialists now provide transportation to veterans for their first few visits.
However, even when veterans are able to reach a treatment center, they often abandon efforts to seek help when faced with the daunting amount of paperwork they have to file, Jacob Wood told the committee.
I did attempt to seek counseling through VA, but I was completely underwhelmed by the care that I received, and I ended up pursuing counseling in the private sector, testified Wood, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan who co-founded Team Rubicon. The latter is a nonprofit organization that provides returning veterans with an opportunity to use their skills and training to provide emergency relief in the wake of natural disasters.
During his testimony, Wood recalled that his first three sessions at the VA were dominated by paperwork, at which point he turned to the private sector for treatment.
Last August, President Obama issued an executive order calling for 1,600 additional mental health clinicians to be hired by the VA by the middle of this year. As of March 13, the VA had hired 1,105 clinicians.
I want to commend VA for the strides it has made, said Sanders. However, I am very concerned that VA has hired only 47 clinicians in the last two months.
Robert Petzel, the VAs under secretary of health, told the committee that he expects the VA to meet the June 30 deadline. He added that mental health care for veterans is already becoming more accessible..
Outpatient mental health visits have increased to over 17 million in 2012, up from 14 million in 2009, said Petzel. The number of veterans receiving specialized mental health treatment rose to 1.3 million in 2012.

Now over six months, and one fall sports season later, the 24-year old Southern Utah University graduate, is all smiles as she tends to her daily duties in the Wasp training room.
"I love it. It's exactly what I wanted," she said recalling the April day she came to the campus for the first time. "Some of things we have here are nicer than at SUU," she laughed.
Nicer than the facilities though, are the coaches and players she's gotten to know since her first day on the job. "Everyone is just so nice," she stated. "I've felt really welcome here from the beginning. I'm really enjoying it."
That's a good thing. The hours and time demands on a high school athletic trainer can be consuming. On a normal day of practices, Lacee arrives at the school early in the afternoon. She knows that sometimes up to an hour before a team's practice, wounded warriors will be coming into the training room for ice, tape or stretching.
Or, sometimes, just to say hello.
The first-year trainer graduated from Timpanogos High in 2007 and enrolled at SUU. Early course study in nursing led her to athletic training through a friend.
The former high school soccer player was aware of what a trainer did, but because she never had any serious injuries of her own while playing, she never gave it much thought.
"After hearing so much about it and then actually seeing it—you know, being around sports, I knew right then exactly what I wanted to do," she mused. Focused on her new career, she felt taking care of some life plans was in order first.
After serving an LDS mission in Virginia, Lacee returned to the Cedar City campus where she had already put in three and half years. 18 months on the east coast only invigorated her desire to get her degree in athletic training and find that perfect opportunity in the workplace.
With her 2013 graduation from SUU around the corner, Lacee began to inquire about jobs. A friend, who was with the Utah Argos, of the Professional Football Development League, looked into her coming aboard, but there were no openings.
Perhaps it was divine intervention from that point, as local physical therapy guru, Alan Bluth, who was with the Argos, suggested Lacee look into the athletic trainer opening at WHS.
Since that time last spring, Wasatch student athletes have been treated to the smiling face of Miss Brown. Not just for their bumps and bruises, but for their egos, as she has invested more than just her service as the school's trainer, but as a big sister.
Lacee hopes to keep her dream job for a long time, stating that working for a great high school, as its trainer, was something she wanted from the beginning. "I love all the kids, they're great," she added. "Being around them has made me appreciate my younger brother's sense of humor a lot more."

I've been noticing an issue with my supply for a while now. My LO has been gaining weight the way he should, and he has enough wet/poopy diapers. But I'm getting a little frustrated.
My son is 8 weeks old. He usually feeds every 2 hours during the day and wakes once or twice from 12am to 7am. Last week for a few days, and then this week for the past 3 days my son has wanted to eat every 1 hour (or more often) for all feedings from noon to 9pm. So I only get a half hour break at the most between feedings. He gorges himself with his morning feedings, completely emptying as much milk as possible out of both breasts. He seems very unsatisfied with afternoon/evening feeds, and usually cries as if there is not enough milk. I can't hear him swallowing for very long either. When he finally pulls away he immediately begins sucking on his hand before crying again a few minutes later.
I am already taking Fenugreek and eating oatmeal to increase my supply. What else can I do? As my little one keeps growing bigger I'm concerned that my supply isn't picking up to meet his demands. I thinking that he would be more satisfied getting more milk during the day. Oh, I tried pumping after each feeding with little result.
Is it normal to have so little milk for such a huge part of the day? Or am I the only one with this problem?:shrug Please help!

Looking over the cliffside, ( I'm on a cliffside overlooking the one all of you are on. ) he spots the familiar faces of Heizu, Gerard and Alex. He sits and waits for something to happen. "This should be good, let's see if we can cause some trouble, aye Sapphiron?*
Sapphiron: *Sapphiron lazily pushes itself off the ground, following it's master. She smiles after her master's speech.*
( I didn't really get a chance to introduce where I was, or who I was, you kinda just said "hey Leonard" o_O. )
( Also wait, is this real RP rules? As in 1 action per post? I wouldn't know. It just kinda makes it hard to introduce where I am exactly at first and what i'm doing with 1 action xD. )

Crosstown Classic high school football rivalry played at North Central
Contact: Ted Slowik, Director of PR and Media Relations, 630-637-5307, email@example.com
Sept. 27, 2010—Naperville's proud tradition of high school football reaches a milestone this year when the Naperville Central Redhawks face the Naperville North Huskies Oct. 1 in the 10th annual Wes Spencer Crosstown Classic at North Central College.
The showdown begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 1, at North Central's Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium, 455 S. Brainard St., Naperville.
Naperville North (3-2) and Naperville Central (3-2) high schools first faced each other in varsity action in 1975 and have played their annual rivalry game on North Central College's field since 2000. In 2001, the match was named in honor of Wes Spencer (1921-2001), who taught and coached at both Naperville Community Unit School District 203 high schools for 32 years and was inducted into the Illinois High School Football Coaches Hall of Fame in 1985. He played football at North Central College and earned his degree in 1943.
The Spencer family heritage continues at North Central. Wes Spencer's son, Rick Spencer, is the College's vice president for institutional advancement. "My time here at North Central has been a blessing in appreciating the impact my dad had in the community," he says. "Since coming to North Central in 1981, hundreds of his former students have told me how much of an influence and inspiration he was in their lives."
Among the many student-athletes coached by Wes Spencer was Harry Kalas (1936-2009), the legendary voice of NFL Films and Philadelphia Phillies radio broadcaster.
Rick Spencer's two sons—Brad and Tyke—are assistant football coaches for North Central's Cardinals. Both played wide receiver for Naperville Central in high school and North Central in college, and Brad played on the undefeated 1999 Naperville Central squad that won the Class 6A IHSA championship.
Though the players from Naperville North and Naperville Central will be rivals when they take the field for the Crosstown Classic, many are friends dating back to their days playing together in Naperville's youth football league.
"The rivalries in Naperville are wonderful," Spencer says. "The Crosstown Classic is a special game—played on a college field in front of 10,000 people with lots of excitement. The players all know each other, and it's a very healthy rivalry."
Tickets for the Wes Spencer Crosstown Classic are available this week in the athletic office at Naperville Central. A limited number of tickets will be sold at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium after 4 p.m. Friday. Tickets are $6/adults, $4/students in grades one through 12. For information about parking, visit https://cardinalnet.northcentralcollege.edu/student-life/parking-campus or http://www.naperville.il.us/downtownparking.aspx.
The intensity remains high next week when two Naperville/Aurora high schools in Indian Prairie High School District 204 battle at Benedetti-Wehrli Stadium. The Neuqua Valley Wildcats and the Waubonsie Valley Warriors play at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8, at North Central College.

The 155mm Long Range Land Attack Projectile (LRLAP), is the primary projectile of the Advanced Gun System (AGS), the main armament of the U.S. Navy's next-generation DDG 1000 Zumwalt-class destroyer. It provides long-range off-shore precision fire support to Marine Corps and Army forces engaged in expeditionary assaults or littoral urban operations.
The 155mm LRLAP is both the most accurate and longest-range guided projectile in U.S. Navy history, with a maximum range in excess of 63 nautical miles. It's precision and near vertical angle of fall enables the Warfighter to defeat targets in the urban canyons of coastal cities with minimal collateral damage.
The LRLAP system provides high-volume fire support at a rate of 10 rounds per minute through the depth of the magazine. It uses the world's most advanced, g-hardened electronics—including a global positioning system and inertial measurement unit—to withstand the punishing gun-launch environment.
155mm LRLAP provides single strike lethality against a wide range of targets, with three times the lethality of traditional 5-inch naval ballistic rounds—and because it is guided, fewer rounds can produce similar or more lethal effects at less cost. LRLAP has the capability to guide multiple rounds launched from the same gun to strike single or multiple targets simultaneously, maximizing lethal effects.
LRLAP is a trademark of Lockheed Martin Corporation.

In his past work, William Pope.L has regularly used food as a medium. In both performance and installation work, processed foods have become symbolic of poverty, the scarcity of life below the welfare line, and of life in households where food is not consistently available. Hot dogs, mayonnaise, pop tarts, and milk are consumables that, when left in the open air, ultimately will lose their nutritive qualities. In the piece Map of the World (2002), for example, Pope.L constructed a map of the United states entirely out of hot dogs. Read the rest of this entry »

Baseball league cries foul
June 22, 2011 —
The Narrowsburg Chamber of Commerce is planning an "Old Fashioned Family Fair" for the Fourth of July weekend with "midway games, inflatables and prizes." But the planned festivities have struck a sour note with Joe Curreri, president of the Wayne County Babe Ruth Baseball League.
The league and the Tusten Chiefs have been playing ball on the sports field on Kirk Road, which is now owned by the Sullivan West School District, since 1976, and that is where the chamber's fair is scheduled to be held.
Curreri said he has make-up games scheduled for July 1 and 2, and will now be forced to find another place to play. He said the league has a permit from the district to use the field, and he said he thinks "not a lot of thought" went into the decision about the chamber activities.
Sullivan West superintendent Ken Hilton said the situation developed because the chamber and Ilwon Kang, the developer who has made offers to purchase the sports field and the Narrowsburg School, which the school has accepted, wanted to hold a fair, along with other activities, including a sock hop at the school featuring the Shirelles. As part of the fair, Kang wanted to have a beer tent on the sports field.
School policy prohibits the consumption of alcohol on school property, and Hilton said moreover, it's not appropriate. Kang asked if it would be acceptable to close the deal on the sports field before the July 4 weekend, and Hilton replied that would be an acceptable way to please everyone.
Hilton said that when he agreed to the closing, he did not know that there were games scheduled.
Curreri said that his permit is good through July 17, and playoff games are scheduled for after the Fourth. But, he said, after a few hundred people have walked around on the field for three days, it won't be fit to play on.
Curreri said the league maintains the field and now won't be able to use it.
He added that Kang called him and offered to help bus the players to another field.
The school
The closing between Kang and Sullivan West will only be for the sports field and will not include the school. Officials in Narrowsburg have not yet indicated whether zoning will be changed to allow Kang to move forward with the development of the planned 80-room hotel and, according to various officials on the Tusten Planning Board, the zoning board of appeals and the zoning rewrite committee, there may not be any movement in that direction for some months to come.

"It's falling off the radar. The public concern is dropping, because our federal agencies have not stepped into it like it should," said Chris Pallister.
He and his his non-profit Gulf of the Alaska Keeper have already spent the past 10 years picking up one million pounds of debris from over a 1,000 miles of Alaska coastline.

"We're starting to find drums of chemicals coming up now, just last week we found a gallon drum of chemicals that just washed up on the beach," he said.
"There'a a comb, a drink holder, flip-flops, lighter," explained artist and 30-year teacher Angela Pozzi describing one of her pieces of art.
She decided to do something big, literally.
Moving folks to tears, and into action, she said, by making gigantic art out of marine debris and the kind of stuff we all throw away.
"I wanted it to be where people would want to take their picture next to it, and then they would have to tell people what they got their picture taken next to," said Pozzi.
"So this is stuff that was actually ingested by Laysan albatross," said Kahi Paccaro of Sustainable Coastlines.
Across the room, swirls of red and blue, as beautiful as it is tragic.
But Pacarro said in all that trash they're finding a different kind of light.
In just over two years some six tons of plastic from Hawaii's beaches has been transformed through a process to make some 50,000 bottles of plastic soap, with 50,000 bottles more already in production.
"They're able to see that this marine debris has been washing up on Hawaii beaches in such copious amounts we can actually make bottles out of it.
All here for a four-day Pacific Rim Marine Debris Conference, they are sharing their stories, in the battle to keep the tide of plastic at bay.
"When people say I had no idea, I know I've done something right," said Pozzi.
On Tuesday, some of the state's leading experts in marine debris will fly to an international workshop in Japan.
On the agenda is everything from better clean up methods to turning fishing nets into energy.

According to Superintendent Dave Underwood, the district is currently looking into also building a four-plex which would bring the district up to owning 17 housing units.
"It helps the community though, as a whole, and sends a message that we care about our staff and the county cares about the educators and want to recruit and retain highly qualified people that want to work with their kids," Underwood said. "And to me it is a huge benefit...to find housing in the Eagle Ford, it is nearly impossible."
Three years ago the district had about three or four houses available to rent to the public. Underwood said those houses are full and there are more requests for homes to be built or purchased.
The latest addition of houses was completed on June 15 and they filled up with staff even faster than they were built. The bond that funded the $1.1 million housing addition passed in May 2012 and construction began on Sept. 27 with Wells Construction Company out of Pleasanton.
"I think it truly says something about your community," Underwood said in regards to the bond passing. "When people live in-county they become part of the community."
Underwood said housing has been a powerful tool for recruiting new staff and provides multiple benefits. Several of the homes are occupied by staff who are married, and have kids; thus housing two employees and adding to the district's enrollment.
"It's a two-fold deal," Underwood said. "The district charges rent on the homes and gets to retain tax dollars per kid in the school. So by having students in those houses, that's money to retain and not have recaptured (by the state)."
Rent prices vary for the district's housing from $350 per month for the older and smaller houses on up to $750 per month for the larger and new houses. Tenants pay for their own electricity and water.
In addition to being a source of revenue for the district, the housing units also significantly cut down on commuting time for staff who would otherwise live in San Antonio or other surrounding towns where housing is more readily available.
However, commuting in McMullen County is not like commuting in other places as wrecks have increased by 275 percent in recent years.
"I think they were nervous of the traffic and want to rent here so they don't have to be on the road when accidents are occurring," Underwood said. "It is safer. It scares them really, scares us too."
New Principal Joe Timms, new Assistant Principal Joel Trudeau and his wife, Monica Trudeau, who is also the new third/fourth-grade teacher, are among the staff to move into the new housing this summer.
The Trudeaus moved from Corpus Christi and into one of the three-bedroom, two-bathroom models along with their children, 7-year-old Ryan and 3-year-old Caroline.
"If there hadn't been housing, we wouldn't have been able to do it," Monica said.
Joel said the housing was a factor in deciding to move to Tilden and they all feel safer having their kids play outside thanks to the privacy fence separating the housing development from the highway that cuts through town.
He also said there are a lot of other kids living in the new houses for his children to play with.
"We went to a movie in Three Rivers and asked them (the kids) if they had a good day and Ryan said 'I love Tilden.' (That's) music to our ears," Joel said.
Timms also said housing was a factor in the decision to begin his new job and move his wife and 7-year-old son, Brandon, and 3-year-old son Joseph to Tilden.
"As we continue to grow and recruit it is a huge selling point because there are just no houses," Timms said.
Timms and the Trudeaus aren't the only new employees at McMullen ISD; there are also Casey Soward teaching high school English, Stacy Randolph for high school math, Barry Randolph for agriculture mechanics, and Brenda Springer.
The school board will decided on the future of the four-plex once surveying is done on the six acres of land the district owns northeast of the high school track.

Hi, my poor little girl has got gas something aweful. It is mostly at feeding times and during the night. I tried an elimination diet of all dairy, nothing. Tried gas drops at every feeding for over a week, nothing. I am constantly burping... Her output is great, no problems there, and I'm not eating any gas inducing foods. Basically what's happening is she latches on and sucks, within 5 minutes shes curling up, grunting and fussing, turning red in the face. She then unlatches by pulling off my nipple, (ouch!) and then crys to get back on. At first we thought it was constipation, but it's not. I check and make sure her nasal passage is clear often, just in case. Nothing I'm doing is working. Her doc wants her to come back in 2 weeks if it's not improved so she can put her on Zantac?, but the last thing I want to do is give my little tiny infant prescription drugs!!!! How is that going to help her digestive system? It lowers the acids needed for digestion. Shheesh. I'm all out of ideas. I just want to make her better, it kills me to hear her grunting and fussing in the middle of the night. I feel helpless, does anyone have any ideas?
I appriciate any advice, Gretchen

I'm going to be in the middle of a good bit of publicity this week.
First, as you may or may not know, I've filed suit against the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board in the Fall to 2008 to challenge the constitutionality of their new regulations of attorney advertisements.
We argue that the regulations go too far in the restrictions they impose on attorneys who use the internet to communicate…and advertise. We created an entire blog dedicated to tracking its progress, which you can visit at http://www.protectspeech.com.
- On Monday, we'll be filing our Motion for Summary Judgment in the federal suit against the Louisiana Attorney Disciplinary Board. We'll post a copy on our JDSupra page.
- On Thursday, I'll be among the faculty for an American Bar Association legal ethics teleconference (with CLE credit) titled: Ethical Implications of Marketing in a Web 2.0 World: From Facebook to LinkedIn, Websites to Blogs. More information on the teleconference (including how to sign up) here.
Second, Chinese Drywall is rampant in the news these days, and our firm has tried to lead legal discussion on the topic with our Chinese Drywall Blog. We'll be discussing the Chinese Drywall situation, and the status of Chinese Drywall litigation in two venues:
- On Wednesday, I'll join the Legal Talk Network in their Lawyer2Lawyer podcast to discuss the status of Chinese Drywall litigation.
- On July 31st, Doug Reiser & I will co-present at the Chinese Drywall seminar in New Orleans, LA, put on by Half Moon Seminars.

KHOST, Afghanistan -- A suicide bomber killed three people in an attack on a U.S. base in Afghanistan on Wednesday, the same base that is believed to be used by the CIA and which a suicide bomber attacked three years ago killing seven CIA employees.
The Afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in the eastern town of Khost, saying they had sent a suicide bomber driving a van packed with explosives to the base.
"The target was those who serve Americans at that base," said Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.
Afghanistan's NATO-led force said the bomber did not get into the base nor breach its perimeter. Police said the three dead were Afghans who were outside the base, which is beside a military airport.
The al Qaida-linked Haqqani network, widely regarded as the most dangerous U.S. foe in Afghanistan, is active in Khost province, which is on the Pakistani border.
After more than a decade of war, Taliban insurgents are still able to strike strategic military targets, and launch high-profile attacks in the capital, Kabul, and elsewhere.
Three years ago, an al Qaida-linked Jordanian double-agent killed seven CIA employees and a Jordanian intelligence officer in a suicide bombing at the same base in Khost, known as Forward Operating Base Chapman.
It was the second deadliest attack in CIA history.
Afghan police official General Abdul Qasim Baqizoy, the Khost police chief, said no CIA agents were hurt on Wednesday.
Afghan authorities are scrambling to improve security across the country before the U.S. combat mission ends in 2014.
Besides pressure from the Taliban, U.S.-led NATO forces also face a rising number of so-called insider attacks, in which Afghan forces turn their weapons on Western troops they are supposed to be working with.
On Monday, an Afghan policewoman killed a U.S. police adviser at the Kabul police headquarters, raising troubling questions about the direction of the war.
It appeared to be the first time that a woman member of Afghanistan's security forces carried out such an attack.
On Tuesday, Afghan officials said the woman has an Iranian passport and moved to Afghanistan 10 years ago. There was no suggestion that Iran was involved in the attack on the American.
Officials suspect she may have been recruited by al Qaida or the Taliban, and had intended to also kill Afghan police officials.

Stayed to the end but lost a good friend
Good thing typing doesn't require much effort because if I had to stand for long or actually lift something I be in trouble. As much fun as a day can be snowboarding you definitely pay the price that evening and usually the following morning (we'll see).
It's not that I'm out of shape, it's that snowboarding/skiing uses muscles you normally don't use in your daily life.
It snowed most of the day at Eldora, so by afternoon we were boarding in fresh powder. In actuality tomorrow will be the day to enjoy the rewards of the new snow but the little bit we were fortunate enough to play in softened our countless falls.
Props to Andy who also ventured into the world of snowboarding. Andy and his family have lived in Colorado four years and he has never seen a ski resort. I convinced Andy that the only way to really learn to board was to go to the top and work your way to the bottom.
Here's why I told him that, the problem with the bunny hill is as soon as you get yourself up and going your at the bottom. So my reasoning is that if you go to the very top you have plenty of mountain to practice on and don't have to keep getting back on the lift.
He agreed and did it along with Krista, Hunter, Mylee and I.
Props to my wife's sister who decided to try snowboarding after years of skiing. She had a rough start but towards the third run she was getting it. Problem is about the time you start to "get it" on your first day snowboarding your legs are shot.
When you start to get tired is when you up your chances of getting hurt. So she called it quits mid-day and busted out her skis.
Props to my friend and soon to be neighbor Betsy. This was Betsy's fifth time skiing and towards the end of the day she went to the top of the mountain (Her first time) and skied to the bottom. Betsy's a trooper because she was fearless and took a couple of good spills and got right back up. She might be hurting tomorrow just a bit, good job Betsy.
Hunter and Mylee both did great today. A few more times and they'll have it down.
Me, I'm a freggin Rock Star on a snowboard I've told you that. We were officially the last people on the lift today before they closed it and we were the last ones down the mountain.
I took a bunch of pictures and shot some great video just like I said I would. Unfortunately my trusty camera must have bounced out of my coat pocket and now either has a new owner or is part of one of the packed/powder runs at Eldora Ski Resort. You have no idea how devastating that is, it's like losing a good friend.
A Rockpile Ranter without his camera is like:
Starskey with no Hutch.
Beans without that little piece of bacon that comes with it.
A big bowl of ice cream with no spoon.
A dog without a tongue.
Standing front row at a Winger concert.
David Lee Roth as a Paramedic
Baseball with no batting practice.
Corona without lime.
Just over two weeks until the Rockies Home opener. This sucks…D
6 Comments
D- I'm so sorry about your camera! Also, I'll have to pick up some lessons from you or something on a snowboard. Every time I've gone, I've managed to break my ankle or do some idiot thing like that.
JULIA-Working on it.
EMILY-We'll be living about 8 miles from Eldora soon, just let me know…D
That so totally sucks! Add the cost of a new camera to your grand total spent – ouch! Sorry to hear about it. On the other hand, you had fun with family and friends, and all came back in one piece.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Oh D,
I'm sorry about your camera! That's such a drag. Hopefully with the economy being so bad you'll be able to get an awesome deal on a new one.
Can you believe this snow?!!!! Yay, finally! I wussed out and stayed home. Couldn't face the drive up to Boulder.
D, Sorry about your camera. With me it was losing cellphones without purchasing insurance. After I picked up insurance, I never lost another phone. ::knocks on wood::
Would you beleive that up to maybe 3 years ago, I had never seen snow? My first time was on a business trip to N.H.

Park service seeks volunteers to be watershed stewards
May 22, 2013 —
UPPER DELAWARE RIVER VALLEY — Building off a program that began in 2012 in cooperation with the Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP), Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River is looking to recruit volunteers to be Watershed Stewards for the 2013 visitor season from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
All volunteers will be required to attend a mandatory training on Friday, May 31 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at PPL's Environmental Learning Center in Hawley, PA. This day-long training will familiarize volunteers with the Watershed Stewards Manual, get them acquainted with aquatic invasive species and train them in how to talk to river users and conduct a boat inspection. Lunch will be provided by CRISP. RSVP by May 24.
They are looking for individuals to spend four-hour shifts at some of the busiest Upper Delaware River boat launches and access points like Lackawaxen, PA, Skinners Falls, NY, or Ten Mile River, NY performing visual inspections of boats, canoes, kayaks, and other craft entering and exiting the water to ensure that aquatic invasive species such as didymo (also known as rock snot) or water chestnut are not clinging to the vessels.
Volunteer efforts will be focused on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, which are the days that see peak visitor use throughout the summer months. For more information or to sign up as a volunteer, contact Jamie Myers at 570/729-7842.

No. 2: Find your roots
If your kids have been planted in front of the tube they might know the show "Who Do You Think You Are?" The genealogy program demonstrates that sleuthing your family's ancestral history can be an emotional adventure and that geography and history aren't boring.
It also reinforces that anyone can do a little family research.
A number of online resources, some of them free, help the budding genealogist get started and make a daunting task seem doable. Many communities have genealogy clubs.
Another way to get to know your family members is to ... talk to them. The nonprofit group StoryCorps encourages people to record interviews with family members to learn more about them and preserve their stories for future generations.
You can hear compelling stories at the StoryCorps website, which is also a guide for anyone who wants to undertake their own project.

(For Phase One Fridays I feature Phase One Recipes from the past that have been my personal favorites. Phase One Recipes are also Low-Carb and Gluten-Free. This quick and easy Grilled Sausage and Summer Squash with Herbs, Capers, Kalamata Olives, and Lemon is perfect for this time of year when gardens are bursting with squash; hope you enjoy!)
For years I've been a fan of Fine Cooking Magazine, so when so when they invited me to sign up for their daily e-mail recipe, I did. Normally I'm not a fan of e-mail like this, but since it was Fine Cooking, I figured at least a few recipes would show up that I'd be interested in. As soon as I saw this one for Grilled Sausage and Summer Squash, I knew it would be a perfect way to use some of the squash that are showing up regularly in the vegetable garden, and I loved the way the flavor of the herbs, capers, Kalamata olives, and lemon juice brightened up the grilled squash and sausage in this dish.
I used mint and parsley for fresh herbs, but the original recipe also suggested cilantro and basil, and I think you could use any combination of herbs that appeals to you. Even if you don't have summer squash from the garden, this Grilled Sausage and Summer Squash with Herbs, Capers, Kalamata Olives, and Lemon is a great summer meal that might become one of your favorite quick grilling options for after work.
When sausage is cooked through, remove from grill and slice into 1 inch slices.
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe adapted very slightly from Grilled Sausage and Summer Squash from Fine Cooking Magazine.)
1 1/2 lbs. zucchini and/or yellow summer squash, cut into same size pieces (young squash are best)
2 T + 2 tsp. olive oil
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 lb (4 links) turkey, chicken or pork Italian sausage (I used turkey sweet Italian sausage)
2-3 T chopped mint
3-4 T chopped parsley
(Or use any combination of chopped herbs that appeals to you)
1/3 cup pitted Kalamata olives, cut in half
1 T capers (or more, next time I'd use at least 2 T, capers can be rinsed if you wish, but I didn't rinse them)
juice of 1 lemon (about 2 T lemon juice)
Wash squash, cut off stem and flower ends, then cut squash into same-size pieces. I cut the squash into 1 inch thick slices, then cut the bigger slices in half. (If you don't have a grill pan to cook the squash, make your pieces big enough that they won't fall through the grill.)
Put squash into a small bowl and toss with 2 T olive oil, plus a generous amount of salt and freshly ground black pepper. If you're using low-fat turkey or chicken sausages, place them in a flat bowl and brush with the 2 tsp. olive oil.
Cook sausage and squash for 15-20 minutes, or until squash is tender-crisp and sausage is lightly browned, firm, and cooked through. (I cooked both my squash and sausage for 20 minutes, but cooking time will depend on the temperature of your grill and whether squash is cooked on the grill grates or in a grill pan.)
While squash and sausage cook, wash, dry, and chop mint and parsley (or herbs of your choice.) Drain Kalamata olives and cut in half. Put chopped herbs, olives, and capers into a bowl large enough to hold all the squash and sausages.
When sausage is done, take it off the grill and cut into 1 inch slices. Put sliced sausage and cooked squash into the bowl with the chopped herbs, olives, and capers and toss. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground black pepper and squeeze lemon juice over, then toss again. (I used the juice of a whole lemon, but I like a lot of lemon.) Serve hot.

Market Preview: Gauging the Jobs Report
Updated from 6:23 p.m. ET for latest after-hours share prices and additional commentary on the September jobs report .
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The September jobs report is shaping up to be a very tough call.
According to Briefing.com, the consensus is looking for an increase in nonfarm payrolls of 120,000 last month with the unemployment rate remaining stuck at 8.1%.
That would be a nice jump from job creation of 96,000 in August and this week's data -- the ADP employment change report and weekly initial claims -- seemed to bode well for the government release.
Deutsche Bank, however, was keeping its expectations in check, noting some holes in the data while leaving its estimate for payrolls to swell by 110,000 intact.
"While the headline readings in both ISM surveys rose, the employment sub-index of the non-manufacturing ISM declined (by 2.7 points); similarly, ADP employment was softer in September relative to August," the firm said. "With the overall tone of the key labor indicators similar to that of August, it appears that the September report will present 'more of the same' in terms of modest-but-positive payroll gains and a stagnant unemployment rate."
There was also some disturbing data on small business hiring from the National Federation of Independent Business on Thursday.
The association released some of the results of its September survey, which is based on the responses of nearly 700 sampled members, saying the net percent of small business owners who increased their total number of employees during the month fell 5 percentage points to a net negative 3%. The NFIB also said just 17% of small business owners have current job openings, which is down a point form August.
"In a healthy economy, that number would typically be in the high 20's," said Holly Wade, senior policy analyst for the NFIB Research Foundation.
A quick sample of available estimates for the rise in nonfarm payrolls last month shows a real divergence in expectations. At the high end, there's Briefing.com's own forecast of 165,000, which seems pretty ambitious. Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics , also sees a surprise to the upside.
"Our payrolls forecast for today is 135K, a bit stronger than the 100K benchmark and the 115K consensus, but not nearly enough to satisfy Fed officials," said O'Sullivan, who noted the last few monthly reports have been a mixed bag. "Even if the gain is much larger than 135K, the volatility in the report will caution against extrapolating."
Capital Economics is at the lower end with its model projecting the addition of just 100,000 jobs in September, a figure suggesting the month was basically status quo with August.
The political implications of Friday's report are also significant for investors as a blowout better than expected number would be a big positive for President Barack Obama and go a long way toward slowing the momentum that Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has built up with his strong performance in Wednesday night's debate.

The Air Force is on a limited list of parties interested in Cannon Air Force Base, according to a local base advocate.
The Air Force conducted a workshop Tuesday in Washington, D.C., for government parties interested in occupying the base. Though the Air Force expressed interest in occupying the base, few other entities did, Cannon advocate Chad Lydick said.
Attendance was so sparse that workshops designed for the same purpose to be held at Cannon Air Force in April and May will likely be canceled, Lydick said. The base advocate, however, does not see low attendance as a bad sign.
"It is not discouraging news at all. It just means that the list (of potential Cannon occupants) can be narrowed down quickly, and this in fact may speed up the process (of finding a new mission). This is not a setback," Lydick said.
Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne indicated to Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., that the workshop, staged to identify maximum operations for the base, was useful, a press release from his office said.
The senator was told Wednesday by Air Force officials "that the Defense Department, including Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, wants the fate of Cannon Air Force Base decided this year, ideally as early as June or July," the release said.
If the bureaucratic process slows progress, the Air Force goal is to find Cannon a mission at least by the end of the year, the release said. A federal commission requested during the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure process that the Air Force find a mission for the base by 2010, or it would be shuttered.
"We all realize that Cannon will not be the base it was, but I am hopeful it will have a broader mission that fits with expanded joint operations. In the long run, the base will be better positioned to benefit the Air Force and the Clovis area," Domenici said during a Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, according to the release.
Wynne said the New Mexico ranges cannot be duplicated and would be utilized as Fort Bliss becomes home for field testing of the Army's Future Combat System, according to the Domenici press release. The vast expansion of Fort Bliss is a result of the 2005 Base Closure and Realignment process.
"We are hoping to have some jointness in our mission. We would like to not be a single mission base anymore," Lydick said.
"Based on where the military is going, … I don't believe they will settle on a single mission like we had before," Lydick said.

The world-famous Trenary Outhouse Classic celebrates its 20th year on February 23, 2013 in Trenary, Michigan. This annual wacky race takes place between dozens of cleverly and colorfully decorated outhouses equipped with skis for speed.
To learn more about this unique event, we spoke with Dianne Peterson, who helps put on the Outhouse Classic each year.
Q: For those unfamiliar, what is the Trenary Outhouse Classic?
A: An outhouse race is something you really need to experience to understand. And once you enjoy an outhouse race, you'll have memories that you just can't erase!
The homemade outhouses are placed on skis and pushed by two racers. Each year the theme of the race varies.
Some outhouses are very simple and some are so elaborate you may not mind having them in your own backyard. The outhouses are pushed, one-by-one, down Trenary's main street. The team with the best time wins cash prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Depending on age, there are seven different categories, and more prizes to be won outside of how fast one goes.
The race is held the last Saturday of February each year and races begin at 2:00 p.m. Kids race first, with the adults, "bring'in up the rear."
Q: What are the outhouses made out of?
A: Homemade outhouses are made of wood, cardboard, plastic, tape, old foreign cars, grand piano crates, you name it.
Q: Who can participate?
A: Anyone can participate! The youngest racer we have had was two years old and the oldest was seventy four.
Q: How did the Trenary Outhouse Classic get started?
A: A man by the name of Toivo Aho is the founder of the Trenary Outhouse Classic. Years ago, he was sitting in the Silver Dollar Bar talking about this outhouse race that was held in Washington state and wanted to bring something like that to Trenary. He wanted to do something that would help beat the winter blues and thought this would be something fun and different to do in the late winter.
Q: How many people are you expecting at this year's event?
A: We normally have about 2,500 spectators and the number of racers varies from year to year.
Q: What's the craziest thing you've seen happen during a race?
A: One year, an outhouse was being pulled down the track by mules! Of course, that "team" was disqualified!
Q: What can visitors to Trenary do while in town outside of the race?
A: Trenary is small but we have street vendors offering food and drinks for sale all day. There is also an after party at the Trenary Tavern starting at 6:00 p.m. with music and lots of fun!
Q: Where can people go for more information?
A: For more information, please visit trenaryouthouse.com or find us on Facebook. You can also call 906-446-3210 or 906-446-8305 to speak with someone directly.
Hope to see you at the Races!

text: When Pip and I moved here last summer, the first thing we both noted is that we don't need to "walk" our dogs anymore. Nope! Living as we do in the middle of nowhere, it's as easy as opening the door and letting them roam. Mind you, I keep one eye on them as they walk about the property. NYC had many things but not coyotes or bears (the West Village notwithstanding). It also has subways, and often I would take my dogs to work with me, riding on the subway. Well, that is until I saw that my dog Willy looked so stressed out being on the subway, albeit safely tucked into my oversized attaché. Read more

Robert D. "Bob" Rising, 88, died peacefully at the home of his daughter Mary Isenberg Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012.
Bob was born on Feb. 16, 1924, in Rayne Township, Indiana County, to George Fredick and Mary E. Stuart Rising.
He lived his entire life in Rayne Township, and was the third generation to own and operate the farm purchased by his grandfather, Joseph Rising. The state of Pennsylvania recognized his property as a Century Farm in 1995. In addition to farming, Bob worked for Rayne Township as both a laborer and supervisor. He was a member of the PA Farmers Association and the Home Grange. Family was most important, and Bob enjoyed spending time with his family.
On May 5, 1950, Bob married Lois Jean Houser, and together they raised 10 children. Bob is survived by his children: Mary Isenberg and husband Ronald, Carol Buterbaugh and husband Larry, Patricia Rising, John Rising and wife Jennifer (Kunkle) and Edward Rising and wife Rene (Arotin), all of Indiana; Catherine Kimmel and husband Randall, of Home; R. Joseph Rising and wife Sarah (Anthony), of Rochester Mills; Linda Stephens and husband Gary, of Huntertown, Ind.; Janet Lippert and husband Russell, of Marion Center; and Joanne Ruffner and husband Gerald, of Homer City; 17 grandchildren: Steven Isenberg and wife LeeAnne (Syster), Susan Isenberg and friend Benjamin Elkin, Jr., Shanna (Kimmel) and husband Aaron Scordo, Lisa (Lippert) and husband Alex Sabo, Z. Andrew Kunkle, Jakeb Rising and Hannah Rising, all of Indiana; Matthew Kimmel and wife Allison (Cloak), of Marion Center; Tina (Rising) Mundy and husband David, of Ashville, N.C.; Peggy (Rising) Cribbs and husband Jason, of Blairsville; James Stephens and wife Andrea (Pershing), of West Lafayette, Ind.; David Stephens and wife Jackie (Wallace), of Mishawaka, Ind.; Thomas Stephens and wife Sue (Walker) of Savannah, Ga.; Lee Lippert and friend Meggan George, of Rochester Mills; and Nicholas Ruffner and Stephanie Ruffner, both of Homer City; 14 great-grandchildren: Kyle, Shawn, Levi and Garrett Isenberg, Morgan Kimmel, Jolene and Alex Cribbs, Joshua, Benjamin, Samuel, Savannah, Isaiah and Ellie Stephens and Sophie Sabo; a sister, Dolores "Dorie" Benamati, of Penn Run; and a brother, Donald Rising, of Calumet City, Ill; numerous nieces and nephews; and good friend and neighbor, George Rapach, of Indiana.
In addition to his parents, Bob was preceded in death by his wife, Jean, in 1981; a son, William, in 1961; a grandson, Andrew Isenberg, in 2000; twin great-granddaughters, Faith and Hope Sabo, in 2011; sisters: Anna Mary Rising, Roselma Bothell and Elizabeth "Betty" Rockey; and a brother, Joseph Rising.
Friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Tuesday at Robinson-Lytle, Inc., Indiana, where a funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, with the Rev. Greg Golden officiating. Interment will be in Greenwood Cemetery.
In place of flowers, the family kindly requests memorial contributions be made to the Hospice Division of the Home Nursing Agency Healthcare, 320 Franklin St., Clymer, PA 15728 or to a charity of your choice.

My doctor appreciated the list. We talked about what might be happening. I've been having these symptoms for the past 4-6 weeks but they weren't letting up not matter how much time I stayed in bed. The things that have changed that might have contributed to the onset are: 1) I ran out of Colostrum and coudn't afford more 2) same with Tranfer Factors 3) with Chelsea gone it has meant I'm inside the apartment a lot more.
As we continued talking about what was happening, my doctor wondered if Bartonella needed more treatment because of my history as well as the symptom picture. He said the symptoms fit the profile of many things but at that point it wasn't clear.. He was puzzled. I was surprised he was puzzled because he is usually quick with ideas and treatments.
Because of the fevers I tried to dismiss any thoughts that mold might be a factor. My doctor said mold illness can cause all these symptoms but he wasn't sure it was mold illness. He did say to start back on the Colostrum as soon as I could because that was more important for my immune system than the Transfer Factors. He also wanted me to start back on A-Bart which I've used in the past (with improvement).
So I started back on the Colostrum that night (I'd ordered some the day before) and I had some A-Bart leftover so I started that also on Friday night.
Today I woke up feeling a little bit of improvement. I overheard someone talking quite loud and went outside to investigate. It turns out that a new neighbor was preparing to move in. She had some workmen with her and she was talking on the phone to our landlord about some problems in her apartment. I introduced myself and so she told me what was going on.
I'd noticed that within a minute of being in her apartment I started to not feel well-almost like I could feel my blood pressure falling. It was strange. They were cleaning so I thought maybe it was the chemicals even though I haven't had any MCS type symptoms for quite some time.
As we were talking one of the repairman came over to her and said 'we found a bunch of mold in the closet' so we both followed him.
For some reason I went into the closet and just stood there staring at a sort of slimy greenish-black type of mold. That's Stachybotrys I thought to myself. And I just stood there. Someone had tried to clean it. The repairman said "I've taken pictures".
I wasn't feeling well so I walked the short distance to my apartment. I got some water and took a sip.
And I felt my throat close up. I could not breathe.
I thought maybe it was because I had choked on the water. I stood there trying to relax so my throat would open up. It did enough to be able to start gasping loudly for air.
I headed towards the front door thinking "I have to get some air". I was gasping so loudly for air that my cat got scared. it was this high pitched wheezing and other weird sound. I got my phone to call for help but I couldn't use my voice. So I went outside hoping to catch someone walking by to call 911. By this time I was feeling dizzy with not being able to get a full breath.
Once outside my airway opened up a little bit more so I could get more air into my lungs but it still wasn't enough. So I sat there for a long time. Then I laid down.
Eventually I came back inside and emailed my ME/CFS doctor. I told him what had happened. Here is his response:
Yes, this and what you described in your other e mail is mold related. You need to get out of your house. You are having a neurotoxic reaction to mold. Getting on a binder would help these symtoms, do you know if you tolerate Cholesyramine? Or you could use Zeolite or Chlorellaand then later after I asked if I should leave immediately or wait until I find a new place:
Try the Cholestyramine again, try mixing it with Pineapple juice. It would be best to leave your place as soon as possible. Ok to take your cloths as long as you either get them dry cleaned or washed in high head. It would be best to leave books and papers behind but you could get the place fogged for mold after you move out and then take your books after that is done.Then I cried. This is the last thing I want to have to deal with right now.
I've only had two other episodes where my throat closed up like that. One was within the first year of getting sick and come to think of it I was living in that bad moldy apartment. The other occurred while visiting my next door neighbor to see their ceiling that she said was sagging. They were all perplexed as I rushed towards the door to get some air.
But it was never as bad as it was today. Today was a whole different ball game.

The mousse that roared
What would Valentine's Day be without chocolate? Although the origins of their association are rather muddled (aphrodisiac properties and Cadbury commercialism are the most commonly floated theories), since Victorian times never have the twain been parted. To this day, nothing says love like a Whitman Sampler. The cacao bean at the root of it all has a much deeper history, of course, having been an important part of Mesoamerican culture going back more than 4,000 years. Aztec sacred ceremonies featured cacao drinks, with the fermented, roasted and ground beans whisked into water and sometimes mixed with corn or chilies. They were onto something truly delicious, and the later addition of sugar by the Europeans kicked chocolate into the stratosphere.
If you'd like to woo your beloved with something dark and seductive, you might consider making a meal that weaves chocolate throughout. Rick and Michel Mast, Brooklyn maestros of bean-to-bar chocolate, recently published a cookbook, "Mast Brothers Chocolate: A Family Cookbook," that include recipes for such savory enticements as Cocoa Coq au Vin, Chocolate Cranberry Pork Tenderloin and Cocoa Balsamic Vinaigrette. These may sound crazily ultramodern but, as my recent trip to Mexico revealed, unsweetened chocolate has long been an element in the traditional Oaxacan moles that blanket everything from stuffed tortillas to roast turkey. Surely a dinner featuring any of these dishes would conquer even the hardest of hearts.
But for all its versatility, and its often decidedly earthy notes of smoke, leather and wine, chocolate in its sweet incarnations is what really drives people wild. So with Valentine's Day right around the corner, it's only fitting that I offer you a couple of recipes for what is rightfully perceived as a classic of the dessert genre: chocolate mousse. After all, it's French and who does love better? Generally a matter of lots of cream and eggs, my mousses require neither, though top quality bittersweet chocolate is essential. In fact, both these recipes are velvety, voluptuous and—wait for it—vegan.
The first one combines chocolate soy milk, silken tofu and a hit of Kalhúa with melted chocolate. Whizz this in the blender and chill. You will be astonished by the decadent results, particularly for something so relatively low in calories and fat (and so easy to make). I like to serve this mousse with a topping of spicy candied pumpkin seeds. They make a nice textural counterpoint, but you could also try some chopped crystallized ginger, or toasted almonds, or a spoonful of crème fraîche, if you throw vegan caution to the wind. The other one contains just two ingredients—chocolate and water—and requires a simple but brilliant technique developed by molecular gastronomist Hervé This. All you do is melt the chocolate with a bit of water, pour this into a bowl over an ice bath and whisk like mad. In a few short minutes it miraculously becomes mousse! It's intense and ridiculously simple, sort of like falling in love. But with more whipping.
[Read Laura Silverman's food column, Relish Every Day, in The River Reporter on the fourth week of every month.]
Silken Chocolate Mousse
Serves 6
1/2 cup organic chocolate soy milk
10 ounces best quality semi- or bittersweet chocolate
12 ounces silken tofu
2 tablespoons Kahlua
1/4 teaspoon almond extract, optional
Sea salt
In a small saucepan, bring the chocolate milk to a simmer. Cool while you melt the chocolate in a double boiler. (If you don't have one, just use a metal or glass bowl set over a pan of hot water.) Remove from heat.
Combine the soy milk, silken tofu, melted chocolate, Kahlúa, almond extract, if using, and a generous pinch of sea salt in a blender and puree until completely smooth. (An immersion blender also works here.) Taste and adjust for flavor, as needed
Chill in one large bowl or 6 ramekins for at least 2 hours or overnight. The mousse sets up perfectly as it cools.
Whipped Chocolate Mousse
Serves 4
10 ounces best quality bittersweet chocolate
1 cup water
Flaky sea salt
Create an ice bath in a large bowl with lots of ice and a little cold water. Nestle a smaller bowl in the ice bath.
Place the chocolate and the water in a small pot and heat over a medium flame. Whisk until mixture is melted and smooth, 3-5 minutes.
Immediately pour melted chocolate into the bowl in the ice bath. Vigorously whisk chocolate mixture until thick, 3-5 minutes. The chocolate should be fluffy and form a mound when dolloped with the whisk (it should generally have the texture and appearance of mousse). If the mixture does not thicken, add a bit more chopped chocolate and re-melt over the heat, then whisk again. Spoon into serving bowls and garnish with a sprinkling of sea salt.
*Make this in the interlude between dinner and dessert, or prepare it ahead of time, but be prepared to rewhip it for a minute before serving.

Born Jan. 25, 1915, in Midway, to John Nicholas Lundin and Emma Durtschi. Anna graduated from Wasatch High as Salutatorian, graduated from Stevens Henager Business College. She worked as a legal secretary and retired after 21 years of service at Hill Air Force Base as a Head Procurement Officer. She married Enoch Leroy Tripp on July 22, 1938, in Lima, Montana. Soon after, they moved with their three children to San Diego, CA. The events of World War II prompted Leroy to enlist in the Army and he was soon sent overseas. His 41st infantry advanced from Normandy to the German border where Lee was killed on Nov. 20, 1944. He left Anna with three little children. She worked at the airplane factory as a "Rosy Riveter" in San Diego. She met and married Floyd K. Petersen and moved to Cochranton, PA, where they had three more children. Anna ran a 100 acre farm with every animal imaginable and a huge orchard and garden. She taught her six children by example. She also drove the school bus to pay for our music, dance and sports lessons. She always made time to ski, swim, picnic and horseback ride with us. After 10 years on the farm she moved back to Utah and the beautiful Heber Valley, where she lived for two years. She moved to Ogden for employment and lived in Riverdale, UT, for over 40 years. There she raised two more granddaughters, and adopted a great-grandson when she was 71. She leaves her family with a rich legacy of hard work and caring for her family, friends and neighbors. She loved to play as hard as she worked. Her favorite hobbies were, dancing, swimming, golfing, skiing, camping, traveling, reading and playing cards. She taught all of her grandkids how to golf, ski and enjoy a life of activity. Anytime her grandkids ski or golf, they will always remember and appreciate the great times they had with grandma Anna. Her spunk and spirit will always be remembered. She lived with her daughter and son-in-law for seven years and recently went to live at the Maple Mountain Assisted Living Center where she loved and greatly appreciated all of her friends and caregivers. She especially loved Jerry Peck for his many acts of kindness and loving care. Her life mottos were, "Don't sweat the small stuff," love and care for your family, friends and neighbors and "Keep moving!" As a family we are so blessed to have Anna in our lives. We will forever cherish our memories of her and remember her for her constant love of family and the many sacrifices she made for all of us. She left us a rich legacy.
She is survived by John Tripp (son), Salt Lake City; Sylvia (Steve) Dayton (daughter), Springville; Kathleen Petersen (daughter), Cheyenne, WY; Darlene (Ed) Arledge, Valley Center, CA; Julie (Bill) Vaught, Murfreesboro, TN; sister, Julia (Reuel) Janson, Missoula, MT;
17 grandchildren: Collin Tripp Deborah Jones, Evelyn Hashlamoun, Brett Emmett, Jewel Martinez, Camilla Martinez, Kevin Dayton, Kraig Dayton, Bradly Dayton, Dennis Dayton, Devon Petersen, Angela Hart, Amy Hart and David Vaught.
Twenty great-grandchildren: Jordan Konkol, Becky Hashlamoun, James Bybee, Maddison, Austin, Camden, Savannah, Hudson, Chelsianne, Jentry, Chase, Tanner, Tate, Cole, Audrey, Aidan, Lily, Abby, William, and Calvin Dayton.

Love can hurt. But divorce can hurt even more, especially if you are a celebrity. Here are some of the stars' most expensive splits.
Sumner Redstone, the majority owner and chairman of National Amusements, which owns CBS, Viacom and MTV Networks, paid his wife, Phyllis, $100 million after the two divorced after 52 years of marriage. Following the 1999 divorce, Redstone eventually remarried Paula Fortunato, another marriage that ended in divorce. This time, however, a prenuptial agreement awarded Fortunato $5 million, stipulating that she would receive $1 million for every year of marriage.

Mobitel chose IBM and BPM powered by SOA to better align business and IT. Meet this IBM IMPACT speaker in Vegas next month to learn more about their SOA and BPM journey!
I had the pleasure of talking to our customer, Boštjan Robežnik, Director of IT at Mobitel and gleaning some great insights on their BPM and SOA journey. Mobitel is a mid-sized company which develops its own innovative mobile solutions in accordance with the needs of the Slovenian market and users' demands. http://www.mobitel.si/english.aspx
Sandy: Why did you choose IBM software? Boštjan Robežnik: I think IBM was actually a little bit different compared to other vendors. We did quite a deep analysis of the market at that time. So the conclusion was that IBM offers--could offer to us the solution which would really help us to achieve the goals, yeah? One of the big differentiator was Telco Industry Content Pack and WebSphere Business Service Fabric. This was really something not found by other vendors. One of the goals of SOA project was the fast rollout of the standardized--industry standard business processes and data objects, and this is something which is a part of the Telco Industry Content Pack. And this is also something which is not found by other vendors as such. And WebSphere Business Services Fabric gives us a possibility to dynamically select the service based on the policy. This is also a unique feature.
Sandy: Why did you chose the Smart SOA path? Boštjan Robežnik: SOA is a clear must in the future. Also, based on the research--resources of Gartner, for example, this is something which is not hype anymore. This is something you have to adopt in order to have a clean IT. For me it means that I have a really good way how to orchestrate the whole IT landscape, all the application into the single business support system. It gives me a lot of flexibility. So I think that it is really a right decision for IBM. And for me, in the moment, IBM is really a top provider of SOA.
Sandy: How has BPM powered by Smart SOA helped you better align business and IT?
Boštjan Robežnik: Typically business and IT, of course, are quite two different worlds and SOA and Telco Industry Content Pack and WebSphere Business Service Fabric, it really gives a good bridge between those two different worlds. So business typically--of course, they know very well the business processes, they know how they would optimize them. IT, of course, they should have a capability to fulfill the needs of the business people and of the market as such. So by introducing WebSphere Business Modeler to the business people, we actually introduce a bridge between those two different worlds. So by using the Modeler, the business people have actually a communication way with IT how to communicate with IT varied ideas how the business processes should look like. So this is, for me, one of the really important tools. It is definitely a bridge between those two different worlds. On the other hand, we introduced with WebSphere Business Monitor to the business people a tool which could be used by them to improve agility of the company, because now they can measure our human tasks, they can measure our different KPIs. And, of course, this is then bidirectional communication between IT and business units, and it really gives us a better agility on the market.
Sandy: How does "the business" benefit from BPM powered by Smart SOA and the Telco Industry Content Pack? Boštjan Robežnik: Business organization sees different benefits. Of course, one of the major benefits is the possibility to monitor in the production environment the whole business process, to measure the KPIs, to have a chance to modify the business processes. And on the other hand, they see a better agility of the IT systems as such, because IT is responsible to deliver products, it's responsible to deliver new services. This architecture is cleaner, it's easier than to maintain, the governance was introduced, and everything together gives the benefits to business units, to company as such.
Sandy: What has been your experience working with IBM? Boštjan Robežnik: With IBM, since start of the project, we worked hand in hand and it was a kind of joint cooperation, and both parties--we had the full commitment to succeed with that project. Since the start of the project, IBM actually invested a lot into Mobitel with their valuable knowledge, with their experts which helped us onsite, and that was actually crucial for the success of the project, and also for the project completion.
