About the Author: Alberto Rodriguez serves as Spokesperson at the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan.
The United States is helping to protect children in Pakistan from diseases such as polio and measles by supporting a mass vaccination campaign in 30 high-risk, flood-affected districts of Pakistan, including 11 districts in Punjab.
The campaign to vaccinate children against measles and polio was launched January 17, 2011, at a ceremony at the Government Mian Mohammad Munshi Hospital in Lahore. The campaign will provide more than seven million children under five years of age with vaccinations against measles and polio along with doses of vitamin A.
Mr. Paul Sabatine, Acting Deputy Mission Director of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) in Lahore, and Dr. Saeed Elahi, Parliamentary Secretary Health, Punjab, participated in the ceremony.
This campaign is one aspect of a broad-based U.S. commitment to bettering the health and well-being of Pakistanis.
"The Mass Vaccination Campaign for Measles and Polio provides a key opportunity for the governments of the United States and Pakistan to work together to counter the threat that measles and polio pose to the children of Pakistan," Mr. Sabatine said. "Vaccinating the children of Pakistan will help control these diseases and stop children from dying unnecessarily."
Vaccine-preventable diseases have been a special threat to children in Pakistan since the 2010 floods, which produced unsanitary living conditions and disrupted public health services. In 2010 more than 21,000 people died from measles and 140 people were affected by polio in Pakistan.
Funded by a $5.61 million grant from USAID, the mass vaccination campaign aims to vaccinate 5.4 million children in Punjab. As feasible, the campaign will also provide children under the age of two and pregnant women with other routine vaccinations against such diseases as tetanus, tuberculosis, diphtheria, pertussis, hepatitis-B, and Hib disease type B.

The least likely superlative
A parent's protest puts an end to some less coveted senior votes.
By TAMARA EL-KHOURY
Published April 10, 2007
EAST LAKE - High school seniors of every generation, in virtually every high school participate in an annual ritual to vote for the senior most likely to succeed and the one with the best eyes.
Then there's East Lake High School, where seniors not only have voted on the top of the class, but also on those with the worst hair or who are most likely to drop out of college.
Until Monday.
After a parent called the Times to complain about the less-coveted awards, East Lake principal Clayton Snare scratched off those two categories.
"I just don't need this fight, I don't need this battle, if there's a parent that feels this strongly about it," Snare said.
Traditionally, it's all been done in good fun, he said. But if there is a likelihood that any student may be offended or hurt by the superlative they were nominated for, Snare said, it's taken out before it's announced at the senior breakfast.
"My intent is not to make anyone feel bad. The intent is good natured and the seniors laugh a lot...," he said.
So in honor of a Saturday Night Live skit the award for most likely to live in a van down by the river is still in the mix.
There is no reason for anyone to be offended, said senior class president Karsten Farrell, 17.
"I was at senior breakfast last year and no one cried," he said.
Gag gifts are bought for the winners. Perhaps a toothbrush for the senior voted best teeth and sunglasses for the winner of best eyes, Farrell said.
But not every laugh is a good laugh, said William Strauss, a generational historian who has co-authored several books on the millennial generation.
"You can say there's no intent but I'm not sure anyone wants to be named most likely to drop out unless you pick the school valedictorian and turn it into a total joke," he said.
None of the superlatives made senior Valerie Bagenski, 18, cringe.
"It's something someone should just laugh at and say, 'Yeah, well, it's high school. Everyone is going to grow up,' " she said.
Farrell said he respects the opinion of anyone who is concerned. He said he is confident the votes reflect "the will of the people" and said he foresees that at the senior breakfast "people will go up, win the award and have a good laugh."
Too bad there's no superlative for most likely to be a diplomat.

Call To Duty
It was raining on and off all day, typical of a spring day in April. But despite the rain there were over a dozen people pulling invasive garlic mustard in the arboretum. A short walk away a small group of people found trash and treasure as they excavated an old farm dump. In the garden, plants were getting removed and separated. A group, varying in age from 10 to 50 planted native shrubs. Along the road, poncho clad people, in their orange vests were clearing out trash from the roadside. And inside and around the building folks were scrubbing, organizing and dusting. Did I mention that it was raining?
If you were to have come down to Audubon that April day last year you would have seen all this work being done by staff and volunteers. Your first impression may have been, "gosh there are a lot of people here on such a crummy day." But as you walked around you would have noticed something else. Most of these people are smiling and laughing. "It looks like they are having fun!" might be your second impression.
Our first Volunteer Day was fun. We worked hard at different projects to spruce up Audubon after the winter. We all got a little muddy, a little cold, and a little tired. But we did a large amount of work that day. Afterwards we shared our successes and funny stories and a good meal together.
Rarely a day goes by when there is not a volunteer at Audubon. Even as I write this on a weekday morning, Linda is staffing our information booth out in the community, Pat is upstairs making nametags for an upcoming event and Nathan is cleaning some of our fish tanks. And that's a quiet day. With the coming of the warmer weather, on Tuesdays and Thursdays the parking lot will be packed with the cars of garden volunteers and our regular building and grounds volunteers, otherwise known as the O.W.L.S. (You'll have to come down to Audubon to find out about that abbreviation.)
Why do they do it? I won't dare write of list of what motivates volunteers to donate their time. First, the list would be too long and second, I most definitely would miss something. However, in reflecting on the reasons why I volunteer and in observing other volunteers I do know that the reasons exceed "making a difference."
For many, volunteering is social. I was pleased to see so many volunteers attend our pancake breakfast earlier this month. Staff cooked and served breakfast for our volunteers with support from Bob Evans in Jamestown, Wegmans and Big Tree Maple. It gave me joy to introduce volunteers to one another, discuss upcoming projects and see people lingering at their tables enjoying each other's company. Our mission is to connect people to nature, but as I think through our volunteer program, we also connect people to people.
In our society, we tend to be defined by what we do for a living. How many times have you been introduced at a party and some asks, "So what do you do?" We are more than just our job title and our paycheck. Volunteering can be a way to express and share your passion that may not be available to you in the work place. It can be a venue to learn a new skill or meet new people. And it can be a way to make a difference.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statics, approximately 26% of Americans volunteer their time with an organization. That is about 64.3 million Americans who provided 7.9 billion hours of service valued at $171 billion.
What make those numbers more meaningful is that volunteering is really a recreational activity. While there are several business in our community that offer volunteer opportunities on-the-clock, many people choose to volunteer in their free time. That means that they are choosing to not spend their time doing other things such as watching TV, surfing the internet, playing video games, playing sports, cleaning, shopping or more.
I'm grateful and pleased that in this past year over 300 volunteers put in over 9600 hours at Audubon. And that only includes the hours they signed in for. Audubon would not be able to offer programs and host events, maintain the trails and gardens, communicate with our members and participants or care for our animals in the quantity and with the quality we do without volunteers. Thank you.
After the success of last year, we are hosting out Volunteer Day again this year on Saturday, April 20, 2013. Registration is at 8:30 inside the nature center and it's free. We will explain what work we have planned and volunteers can pick their work team. And then we're off to work! We'll break at lunch to get together and share a meal and our stories. We are pleased and grateful to have additional community support this year from Cummins Engine Plant who is sponsoring the event.
So I encourage you, in celebration of an early Earth Day, whatever your motivations may be, to join us on April 20. We'll work hard, laugh, get dirty, share a good meal, have fun and make a difference. Call Audubon or visit our website to register.
Katie Finch is a naturalist and volunteer coordinator at Audubon.

The Audubon Center & Sanctuary is located at 1600 Riverside Road in the town of Kiantone, a quarter-mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, and Warren.

By far the most popular way to manage a PPC campaign is by ROI. That makes no sense to me. Maybe it's the new math… $100K Spend X 5:1 ROI = $500K Revenue – $100K Spend = $400K Total Revenue $500K Spend X 2:1 ROI = $1Mill Revenue – $500K Spend = $500K Total Revenue Last time I checked $500K was better than $400K right? So ROI and budgets are not super awesome happy fun measures
of success. So why all the focus? Has the math changed? ADDED: To be perfectly clear I'm talking about a case where increasing a spend that significantly brings your ROI down. The point of my question is that even at a lower ROI with a greater spend if you get more to the bottom line why would you constrain yourself with ROI? Read more about this on FootwearGeek.

Therefore, adding massive quantities of steam to the inside seems like it might be bad. And if I'm using residual heat, there's no fire to dry things and the door is shut, so it could get awfully humid in there, to the point of standing water.

Hey guys,
I recently purchased a L.R Baggs M1 passive and installed it into my Martin D35. I have to admit, I'm not impressed with the sound I'm receiving when referencing it directly recorded into my DAW using the GigPro into my Focusrite Scarlett interface. It sounds nasally even after using passive EQ with in my DAW to get idea were the sound needs to sweep the mids. I even tried it with-out the GigPro straight into the Focusrite Scarlett in which uses very clean/neutral preamps and it still sounds the same.
I'm guessing this might have to do with the pole piece heights on the M1 not being adjusted high or low enough. I doubt it's the GigPro in which I made sure the Phantom power was "off" and had a new battery. Is there a certain way I need to adjust the pole pieces so that they compliment my D35s tone better?
Also, can I pair the M1 passive with a iBeam or Anthem/Lyric? If I'm not over all pleased with my M1 after adjustments, I would like to pair it with either one of those two. The Anthem and Lyric are the only two pickups I've never tried by Baggs. I currently have a JJB SBT installed in it also but I don't think there is a way can pair these two effectively with out adding the iMix.
I've always been a fan of L.R Baggs so I'm really hoping to get this M1 and D35 tuned just right. We just recently did a professional "live" worship music video and we plan on doing a series of these so I would like to have a good sound going straight into the Presonus StudioLive.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (43 votes).
In short: Ok race with some issuesIn full: Overall an OK race with a couple of pointsOne marshall allowed a car to pass when the runners were trying to move from left to right after the loops which was dangerous. All other did a good job with the trafficWhy have all those loops then have a 10/15 min walk from finish back to HQ, could these be closer especially as it was so cold?Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: Good Race, Well OrganisedDate of review: January 1, 2009
In short: Excellent start to 2009In full: Always enjoy this flat and fast run even with lack of sleep. Age is catching up with me though as I was lapped but hey-ho, it'll happen to them one day! Although traffic seems to get busier every year most are pretty patient and there also seemed to be more spectators/supporters. Always well organised and puts a smug smile on your face - thanks Cleethorpes AC.Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: Marshalls Fantastic! But markers in miles not kmIn full: Very flat but dodging traffic and pedestrians sometimes, Marshalls were great, why mile markers in a 10k race? Nice T shirt, would do this again. Smell of fish and chips near the finish cruelDate of review: January 1, 2009
In short: What a fast first mile...In full: It was freezing foggy flat and calm. I knocked 40 seconds off my PB, having also scored a PB the previous year. Everyone started fast and just kept going.... We all just looked at each other, shook our heads and said "too fast" as we clocked the time at the first mile. I'll bet there were lots of PBs today. You can tell it's a good race when the "hill" that caught you out last year seems to have disappeared!The Coffee lady was ever so pleasant and friendly, and Fish & Chips in Cleethorpes are always superb.Date of review: January 1, 2009
In short: no water at the end. otherwise a great runDate of review: January 4, 2008
In short: PB potential, good facilitiesIn full: Not the best of courses, but with over 300 runners the sea front would not be possible with many walkers dogs etc around. Turkey Trot on Boxing Day was a bit of a problem down there with 110 runners, having to duck and weave around promenaders!Finish was better than last year. Somebody mentioned more markers in last mile, how many do you want, do you want it in 100 metre splits?Well done to Roy and the gang, it all came good, nice facilites, showers, beer etc too:-)Date of review: January 2, 2008
In short: Excellent organisation. Thank you Cleethorpes ACDate of review: January 2, 2008
In short: I really enjoyed the race, good organisation and encouraging marshalls - Thanks sDate of review: January 2, 2008
In short: Very well organised race, superb work from the marshalls and all involved.dDate of review: January 2, 2008

Is your jet a business too? Or is it part of the executive compensation package? Among people who never fly privately, probably 99 out of 100 would view it only as the latter. We inside the industry, meanwhile, tend to acknowledge only the former-to a fault.

AVIATION LEGEND JIMMY DOOLITTLE made the first "blind" landing in September 1929, a little more than 80 years ago. He used an experimental Sperry gyroscope to serve as his artificial horizon and then-revolutionary radio beacons to home in on the runway.

If you've thought about selling your aircraft, you have lots of company. This is a buyer's market-and a fast-changing one. "A Falcon 2000EX might be worth $22 million until a similar serial number appears for sale for $20 million and sells for $17.5 million, altering the entire market," commented one broker.

Scaling back doesn't have to mean giving up the benefits of private aviation and settling on airline travel.

There are times when leasing an aircraft makes more sense than buying one outright-including times like these. Leasing can offer several advantages over purchasing, and the turmoil currently rocking the global aircraft marketplace has only amplified these benefits. So how can you determine whether a lease is right for you? Consider these seven factors:

Suze Orman didn't pause before answering when I asked whether she'd ever considered replacing her charter flights with a fractional jet share. "I think they're rip-offs," said the personal-finance guru, in an interview that appeared in our April/May 2009 issue.

It's understandable that no equivalent to your local auto-parts store exists for business jets. Aircraft maintenance records must be documented scrupulously, and the pedigree of every nut, bolt and washer has to be recorded for possible FAA review. So, when it comes time to replace a fuel pump or engine mount-or even a tire-it makes a difference where the part comes from.

On a recent airline flight, a CNBC reporter noted a businessman, whom he did not know, sitting one row ahead and across the aisle from him. "For nearly the entire five-hour flight from Newark to Los Angeles," the businessman's laptop computer "was wide open," wrote the reporter, who covers the pharmaceutical industry.

Much has been written recently by defenders of business aviation about the 5,000 airports accessible to our aircraft in the U.S. That compares with the estimated 500 that accept airline service and the approximately 70 airports that handle the vast majority of airline flights.

In his forthcoming book, author and journalist Rod Dreher chronicles his journey back to his hometown of St. Francisville, Louisiana, in "the wake of his younger sister Ruthie's death."
After spending time in St. Francisville during the final months of his sister's life, Dreher, who left his hometown as a teenager and bounced around from city to city in the years proceeding, was struck by the support and generosity his sister received from the community.
In a column written shortly after Dreher's decision to move back, David Brooks summarized the key drivers of Dreher's homecoming:
They wanted to be enmeshed in a tight community. They wanted to be around Ruthie's daughters, and they wanted their kids to be able to go deer hunting with Mike. They wanted to be where the family had been for five generations and participate in the rituals ranging from Mardi Gras to L.S.U. football. They decided to accept the limitations of small-town life in exchange for the privilege of being a part of a community.
The book, The Little Way of Ruthie Leming: A Southern Girl, a Small Town, and the Secret of a Good Life, sets out to further explain this experience and, in the process, emphasize the importance of community. Dreher, who writes regularly at The American Conservative, is well known for his communitarian views, yet despite falling short at times on the role of the market in shaping community life, he is not overly eager to push us into a Wendell-Berry cookie cutter, recognizing that technology does have its benefits, even in community life. In a recent back-and-forth with Acton's very own Jordan Ballor, Dreher noted that "the localism and the kind of conservatism I favor will in many cases only be feasible through the Internet."
Finding a "balance" or "fusion" or "integration" in this wide overlap between and across economic mobility and stable community life is a tricky thing for us to understand and respond to. Based on what I've heard and read thus far, I trust that Dreher's latest work will offer plenty of good meat for us to chew on when it comes to processing this and challenging our various perspectives.
In the latest Acculturated podcast, Dreher discusses the book with Ben Domenech and Abby Schachter, offering some strong challenges to modern America's often distorted approach to flourishing. Toward the end of the discussion, Domenech asks what advice Dreher would give to a young person struggling to preserve some sense of community while contemplating things like vocation, career, and basic economic wherewithal.
Dreher's response hits just the right notes, explaining how there's no single path to the features he's elevating. For Dreher, it ultimately comes down to active obedience, discernment, and attention to both individual calling and our basic human need for community: (more…)

Rush has given me the opportunity to showcase my playing ability to coaches from all across the country. They have strived to bring out the best possible athlete and person out of me, and it's because
of everyone on the Rush staff that I am now playing at Grand Canyon University.
During my time with Rush, I made finding a good university with an excellent soccer program my number one priority, but it was not until my final games with my Rush team that I realized the most important thing of all – building lifelong relationships with such caring people. Luckily, I got the opportunity to go to college with four of my good friends from Rush, and it has been nothing but a privilege to keep playing with them, to go to school with them, and to just have a complete college experience with them by my side.
However, the people that I have to thank, and who I deeply regret not thanking enough in the past, are my coaches. I remember when I was 12 years old, playing in my first competitive games with coach Bill Reimers. From first look, you could tell he was a person who was passionate about the game, passionate about learning everything there was to know about soccer, and most importantly, passionate about helping us become the best possible athletes we could become. Later on, when I moved up to U13, I played for longtime Osprey and Rush coach Bekim Mustafa. That season with coach Bekim was no different than any of my others with Osprey – fun, exciting, competitive, but most of all, educational. My U14 season I spent with coach Lee Riley. This man is a person that exceeds expectations when it comes to being a coach. He's devoted to his players, he's communicative with the parents, and he provides a competitive, yet enjoyable, atmosphere for players. It's no secret as to how he has earned his way to CEO of Idaho Rush. The beginning of my U15 career started with coach Tony Colavecchia, a person who I truly looked up to as a person and as a coach. I was truly blessed to have met a great guy like Tony. During the spring season and until my U16 season, I was coached by Manny Reynoso. Manny was a guy who had a heart like no other. He showed knowledge about the game, dedication for his job, and compassion toward his kids. Last, but definitely not least, I spent my final Rush seasons with coach Shaun Dunn. There are truly not enough good things to say about a guy like Shaun. He's caring, knowledgeable, charismatic, funny, supportive – basically, he's everything you look for in a coach. It's because of these types of people that I mentioned that Idaho Rush will continue to become not only the best soccer program in the state but a nationally recognized soccer system.
I really want to thank everyone that has been a part of my Rush experience. I hope that I have touched your hearts in the same way that all the staff, players, and coaches have touched mine. I know that this club will forever be a part of me, and I was truly blessed to be a part of something as great as Idaho Rush soccer.

USA Women Hong Kong 7s Pool Preview
The USA Women's Eagle Sevens team departs for Hong Kong today (Tuesday March 20) in advance of its third tournament of the 2011-2012 season. Riding a wave of momentum from finishing fourth in the Dubai IRB Women's Challenge Cup and second in the USA Women's International Invitational, USA Head Coach Ric Suggitt's team is in prime position for another strong showing in the international arena.
USA captain Deven Owsiany is thrilled about the squad and their chances in Hong Kong, but is also keen on using Hong Kong to develop the team for future success.
"We have an awesome team going to Hong Kong…Obviously we would all like to win the tournament, but we want to focus on a few areas like protecting the ruck and having good hands," Owsiany said emphasizing that success can be measured in progress as well as results.
The Eagles see Tunisia and Spain in pool play on Friday March 23. Both teams are difficult to prepare for due to the fact that game film on the two teams is scarce.
It's known that Spain is fast and well drilled, but in terms of personnel they are a bit of a mystery. Not knowing the opposition can be a blessing and a curse. Film is helpful and knowing a team's tendencies can inform preparation, but it can also detract a team's identity.
Suggitt has assembled a squad of high-flying backs and gritty forwards, a squad that has already established an identity as a high octane, physical team. It's also a team that is continuously improving.
In Dubai the USA escaped pool play unscathed but then proceeded to endure heavy losses against Canada and Australia. In Dubai the Eagles lost to Canada 36-0 in the Cup semis. In Vegas, the Eagles went 4-1 stamping out a very good Dutch national team in the Cup semis and narrowly missing out on a Cup final win against Canada, losing 5-14.
To continue that upward trajectory, the USA needs to get in a rhythm early in Hong Kong.
"We know that no matter what, we have to be ourselves and play our game," said Suggitt.

Vanessa Hudgen's Curly Hair Tutorial
I decided to do my first hair tutorial! For this one, I wanted to call in the experts though. I asked my good friend Ashley to come and curl my hair since she's an expert at it. My girls and I call her "Pantene" because of her gorgeous hair that she's been doing on her own since the fourth grade.
I used a new flat iron the T3 Glow from BeautyChoice.Com. The small size and quick heat up make it perfect for making waves or curls.
Check out the video tutorial. It was inspired by Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical. I was inspired by her because she's half pinay and probably has a more similar hair texture to mine. Sorry I pronounced her name wrong the whole time in the video, lol.
Check out the video tutorial!
Check out Ashley's work!
My hair isn't nearly as long as Vanessa Hudgens but you can still get the idea.
I also did a quick makeover on Ashley for her YouTube Debut. We wanted to stick with nice and natural with a pop of color. You can click on the picture to expand. On her eyes she's wearing Henna e/s, Humid e/s, and Bottle Green e/s. Lips- Chihuahua lipgloss from Nars. She's wearing Peony Blush from Bobbi Brown on her cheeks.
If this proves to be successful I might be inviting Ashley back for more hair tutorials!
Stay tuned for tomorrow's youtube video...I haven't told anyone else yet, but I'm holding another big contest!

2 years in prison recommended for Walker aide
Russell convicted of stealing more than $20,000
MILWAUKEE - A Milwaukee County prosecutor is recommending two years in prison for a former aide to Scott Walker before Walker was elected governor.
A sentencing memo filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court by Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf states Tim Russell used his relationship with Walker to access money intended to benefit military veterans and their families, then spent it on tropical vacations.
The State Journal reported Landgraf stated Russell's crime reflects "moral depravity."
The 49-year-old Russell was a top aide to Walker when the governor was Milwaukee County executive. Russell has been convicted to stealing more than $20,000.
A sentencing hearing is scheduled Tuesday in Milwaukee County.

About the Author: Tom Weinz serves as the dedicated Foreign Service Liaison Officer for Pacific Partnership 2010.
Dili, Timor-Leste, lies beneath the outstretched arms of an 88-foot statue of Christ the King, standing on a majestic cliff that plunges to the edge of the Pacific. The statue was erected by engineers from the TNI, or Indonesian army, in 1995. President Suharto of Indonesia commissioned the statue as a goodwill gesture towards the people of what was then known as East Timor, as part of a final effort to win the hearts and minds of Timorese under Indonesian occupation. By 1999, Suharto had resigned, the people of East Timor voted overwhelmingly to become independent, and the country of Timor-Leste emerged as the newest democracy in Asia.
Pacific Partnership 2010 arrived last week in Timor-Leste, the final mission country that will receive the full complement of services available aboard the USNS Mercy (a smaller contingent will continue on to Papua New Guinea aboard an Australian ship). The Mercy dropped anchor near Dili on August 10, and teams immediately went ashore to set up medical programs and screen patients for surgery on board. This desperately poor country is the recipient of numerous programs to assist and strengthen its democratic and social institutions.
The United States Government recognized the Democratic Republic of Timor-Leste immediately after its formation, and opened Embassy Dili in 2002. The embassy compound was the venue for our opening ceremony on August 11, where Vice Prime Minister Jose Luis Guterres welcomed Pacific Partnership and thanked us for our return mission (Pacific Partnership 2008 also visited Dili). The U.S. Navy also displayed its continued support for the Pacific Partnership programs by sending its newly-appointed Commodore for Pacific Partnership 2011 to observe our operations in Dili and to talk with participants engaged in current humanitarian projects.
Perhaps the showcase PP10 project jointly accomplished by U.S. Navy Seabees and Australian engineers is the sprawling compound of the Nu Laran school, a multi-building renovation project that is far more complex and time-consuming than usual. The school is centrally located and often hosts community gatherings and concerts, but was badly in need of substantial repairs. Since some of the buildings are completely finished, and others not yet begun, the contrast was very clear as a group of us toured the project on August 14. It is a project that will serve this struggling community well for many years to come.
You can trace the Mercy's journey from its initial announcement to preparations for launch, setting sail, arrival in Vietnam, work in Vietnam, farewell to Vietnam, arrival in Cambodia, community outreach in Cambodia, celebrating U.S. Independence Day in Singapore, return to Indonesia, and work on projects in Indonesia.
O.C. in the U.S.A. writes:
Involving and partnering the Hawaiian Islands and people in these projects could increase trade and tourism. Most Hawaiians can build anything and everything. Both societies share specific cultural knowledge that could be meaningful and helpful to each other. The Hawaiian Islands are well situated as a trading partner. The Pacific trading region should work together to bring development, tourism and expertise to all the island nations.
Patrick W. in Maryland writes:
I have been following the progress of the USNS Mercy for along time.
Their work to provide medical help to people in need has been outstanding. I have Enjoyed reading about their progress in the field.
I'm sure the people they have help love them for making their lives alittle better.
I think , The Pacific Partnership is an Awesome group of people who really love what their doing.:)
I Wish you Guys the Best,Nice to hear from you, Officer Tom Weinz._:.)
Graeme M. in Canada writes:
New Zealand and Australia significant investment in resources community services for island particularly human health services

I HAVE BEEN TO KANSAS CITY AND ALSO TO KANSAS TO VERY NICE PLACES TO VISIT. KANSAS CITY AND KANSAS ARE ALSO VERY TWO CHEAP PLACES TO LIVE.

Kansas - 11/18/2009
Well, not haveing lived in Kansas, I think that a different opinion might be nice for some people.
I live in Missouri, 19 minutes from Kansas. Literally. If I get off of I-44 and take the last exit toward Galena the first thing I see is the new casino with a very stupid round-a-bout right in the middle of a 60 m.p.h. road! They have another one just west of there, on the west end of Riverton. I don't know who decided to put them in, but I think that they should have their big toes cut off!
Seriously! Why would someone put something like that in the middle of a highway? And yes, roads like K69 are highways in Kansas. There is not much in the way of interstate highways in Kansas unless you enter into the state from Kansas City, Oklahoma, or Nebraska. Kansas is filled with two lane highways, that unlike some, I enjoy. I love looking at the scenery.
Kansas has some quiant widely unknown of attractions. Like the free zoo and park in Independence. It's a nice zoo with several different species of animals. The park right next to it has a train that gives people rides around the park and there are alot of toys for the kids to play on, including an out of service train engine. It's a place that my son and myself have enjoyed going to for years.
Kansas is full of farms and farmers. Everywhere you go people seem to have a sense of community. I went to a fair about an hour west of pittsburg and it was like an episode of Andy Griffith. Everybody seemed to know each other. It was nice to see that. You don't get to see that often enough any more.
Overall, I would say that Kansas is a nice state to live in.[Comment on this Posting]

Hello to all of you tea lovers,
I am new to this form, and I like it a lot. A question: I have read different opinions on storage of black tea. Anywhere from a few months to two years. What do you think? If freshness is not important, why is it that current year teas are always more expensive than last year's? Is there a difference in this respect between first and second flush?
I'd appreciate your input.

So glad they came out with the fitted ones. I may have to pick up another one of these... I like the red and black one. Awesome.
To those of you who are worried that the hats are too big - I have a hat cage that I use to wash my hats and I put mine (Skeletor one) in the dishwasher about three times before wearing it. (Make SURE it dries completely) It shrank real nice, and I used a water bottle to wrap the bill around to give it the curved look. Also, if you don't like the poofed out mesh that the design is on, you can heat it up a little with a hair dryer and work it with your hands to soften it. You can also remove it if you want. I kept mine as is.
Just some tips for you guys if you're on the fence about getting one of these.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Oct. 20, 2011) - Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) scored 23 points and the U.S. Women's National Team used 22 blocks to rally past Dominican Republic 23-25, 25-16, 25-20, 25-19 in the Pan American Games bronze-medal match Thursday evening in Guadalajara, Mexico.
The U.S. Women, with seven players making their international senior-level debut, ended the tournament in third place after starting the tournament 3-0 in pool play. The Americans lost their semifinal match on Oct. 19 to defending Pan American Games champion Cuba in four sets. Cuba will face Brazil in the gold-medal match at 6 p.m. PT.
The U.S. overcame an 8-2 deficit in the opening set by using a 7-0 run to take a 20-18 advantage, but Dominican Republic answered late with a 25-23 victory. Team USA used seven blocks in the second set to build a 21-10 advantage and en route to a 25-16 victory. The U.S. overcame an 8-5 deficit in the third set by using a 10-1 scoring run to take a 15-9 advantage and held on for a 25-20 victory. Team USA broke free from a 15-14 advantage in the fourth set with a 5-0 scoring run and closed the match with a 25-19 victory as Barboza scored nine of her points in the set.
"I think we did a really great job and learned our lessons from last night," Barboza said. "We fought hard and executed. When we got off the bus today, it was all about beating the Dominican Republic."
Barboza, the U.S. captain, scored her 23 points on 22 kills via 52 attacks and a block. Lauren Gibbemeyer (St. Paul, Minn.) added 16 points with 11 kills and five blocks. Angie Forsett (Lake Worth, Fla.) came off the bench to notch 11 kills and four blocks as part of a 15-point performance. Jessy Jones (Naperville, Ill.) charted five kills and seven blocks for 12 points. Cassidy Lichtman (Poway, Calif.) contributed five kills and four blocks for nine points. Courtney Thompson (Kent, Wash.) rounded out the scoring with a kill, block and ace for three points.
Barboza has now won the bronze medal in three consecutive Pan American Games, while Thompson has earned her second bronze medal. Barboza and Thompson are two of the five players with senior-level international playing experience with the U.S. along with Forsett, Tamari Miyashiro (Kaneohe, Hawaii) and Alix Klineman (Manhattan Beach, Calif.).
"I love this game and I love this team," Thompson said. "It is easy to get fired up for something like this. We really wanted a medal. You can watch film and hear about it, but until you are in the arena, you don't know."
The U.S., behind 41 assists by Thompson, converted 35.5 percent of its attacks with a .252 hitting efficiency (55-16-155). Meanwhile, Dominican Republic converted 31.6 percent of its attacks as part of a .137 hitting efficiency (53-30-168).
Lichtman recorded a team-high 11 digs, while Forsett contributed nine digs in the victory. Barboza, Thompson and Miyashiro all posted seven digs for Team USA. Miyashiro totaled 24 excellent receptions on 30 attempts, while Lichtman added 16 excellent receptions on 25 attempts.
The U.S. held a 22-8 margin in blocks and a slim 55-53 edge in kills. The Americans held their errors to 17 in the match, while Dominican Republic committed 20 errors. Team USA also produced a 46-43 margin in digs. As a team, the U.S. tallied 57 excellent receptions on 76 attempts for a 72.4 percent. Dominican Republic held a 66.3 excellent reception percent on 92 attempts.
"We didn't change much," Forsett said. "Last night we didn't play USA volleyball. Tonight we finished. It's redemption knowing you can do it. We never had a doubt."
Andy Banachowski, who is serving as head coach for the U.S. Women at the Pan American Games, started Klineman and Barboza at outside hitter, Jones and Gibbemeyer at middle blocker, Lichtman at opposite and Carli Lloyd (Bonsall, Calif.) at setter. Miyashiro was the libero for the match. Forsett replaced Klineman in the first set and remained on the court the rest of the match. Thompson subbed into the match in the first set for Lloyd and started the remaining three sets, although Lloyd returned briefly in the third set. Kayla Banwarth (Dubuque, Iowa) was a sub in all four sets.
Bethania De La Cruz scored a match-high 26 points to lead Dominican Republic, while Prisilla Rivera added 15 points in the loss.
Earlier today, Puerto Rico defeated Peru 25-23, 25-20, 25-19 to finish in fifth place, while Canada rallied to defeat Mexico 19-25, 25-17, 26-24, 25-15 for seventh place.

Excellent Product
Posted by Reviewer2242293 on Aug 09, 2011
I have been searching for ages for a good substitute for white flour, and I think I have finally found the answer with Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Amaranth Flour. This is great news, for both my husband and I are diabetics, and it's not just sugar that causes glucose levels to increase. I have had lots of fun redoing old recipes for cakes and cookies that otherwise would call for white flour - there is no discernible difference in taste, although one has to be careful in how much one uses as I did have to recalculate some measurements as Amaranth flour has a denser consistency than regular. However, our sweet tooth can be happily satisfied without the fear of paying the price with our sugar levels!

I am using this flour in gluten free baking blends to improve the nutritional content of the products. It's another ancient grain that is better for us than rice, wheat, potato and corn flours.

Using Scamorza In A Blend, Please Advise
October 11, 2011, 07:44:20 PM »
Maybe I'm one of the few here who likes Sbarro pizza. I know that the cheese looks a bit plastic and even dry but I find the taste and texture and the way it seems to melt on their pizzas. I did a search of scamorza here at the forum and found some post but not much in the way of what to blend it with. I read where
was mentioning that some pizza chains might blend scamorza with part-skim and whole milk mozz. Sorry
if I have this wrong. I did a search and if I read it right I think you suggest that some do blend with scamorza, and I think due to your thoughts on this I want to try this out. I did my search yesterday and have to go back and see what
There is an Italian market near me (funny enough no real Italian community near me but hey this is the US) and I called and they carry it. I will blend part-skim, whole milk mozzes, with scamorza whenever I get some. But not sure the proportions. Should I do 25%, 25%, and 50% scamorza? Or should I go with 33% each (I know that's 99% total but close enough to 100%).
I know you all will say experiment and I will but what do you suggest in proportions?
Thank You,

If I remember correctly, scamorza is just mozzarella that has been dried a specific way, and hung to produce a tear drop shape. I know there is a smoked version, but if you are using the natural version you may find it melts and tastes exactly like low moisture mozzarella.
If a pizza chain was using scamorza in it's blend, I would think the higher cost associated with it would make the proportion small compared to the other ingredients in the blend. You may just try 15% scarmoza and equal portions of the other two. I might even do a test to see what 100% scamorza does in your bake to make a more informed decision on blending.

I am not a big fan of smoked cheeses so I don't think I would have posted on a personal experience with that cheese. However, when I was working with member loowaters on reverse engineering and cloning the Home Run Inn dough, the possibility was raised that HRI might be using scamorza cheese. As the article at
mentions, HRI was said to be using three kinds of mozzarella cheese. We assumed that maybe HRI was using low-moisture part-skim and whole-milk mozzarella cheeses as two of the cheeses in the blend but could not identify the third kind of mozzarella cheese (we had ruled out fresh mozzarella cheese). I suggested the possibility that the third mozzarella cheese was scamorza. I mentioned this at Reply 13 at
My recollection is that Sbarro uses/used a whole-milk mozzarella cheese. It even looks like whole-milk mozzarella cheese is used in at least some of Sbarro stores outside of the U.S. for its NY style pizza, including in the Philippines:

John (dellavecchia)
, your logic is very sound indeed. Scamoza is more expensive than mozz, so it does stand to make sense that they would use less of it than the less expensive standard mozz because the bottom-line at most pizza places, well all pizza places is the profits. I think I'm going to follow your suggestion of using 15% then equal parts of part-skim and whole mozz.
Even tho it's similar to mozz and maybe even a variation of mozz I'd have to say from reading it does have a different flavor and texture, so that's probably why some places use it. Some say it's a cross between mozz and provolone taste wise. Well if that's the case why not just blend in some provolone? I'm experimenting with that but I want to experience the texture of the scamoza chese, so I'll get some tomorrow. Italian store is closed Wednesday so tomorrow will be the day I buy some when they are open.
I think you have a good suggestion of making a pizza with all scamorza to see how it is then go from there. I'll give that a go and report back on the results.
, I like smoked cheeses occasionally but on pizza never had it but doesn't sound right so I'm with you on that but fortunately scamorza comes in both smoked and non-smoked varieties. I'll get the non-smoked variety. Oh yes, that's where I read about the scamorza, it was the Home Run Inn discussion. Forgot that was it until you mentioned just now.
As far as Sbarro goes, in the US they used to use whole milk mozz but they stopped and use something called "pizza cheese", a blend of cheeses. But in the Philippines the Sbarro there has more liberty to customize as they like and they don't use the "pizza cheese" blend but use whole milk mozz. One of our members here confirmed this with me. He told me so. I think that's why the photos of the Sbarro pizza in the PI (Philippine Islands) looks like whole milk mozz. Also the member confirmed with me that they don't use the standard sauce that Sbarro uses but he makes his own for the Sbarro pizzas. I actually love the Sbarro sauce, something about it is just so good in my opinion. I like the pizza cheese blend due to the weird texture and taste. It's not a gooey mess like others but then again a gooey mess has it's place. Back to the sauce, I'd love to clone it but so far no go. I have purchased the sauce from Sbarro, I'm in good with the local Sbarro's so I can buy it but it would be cheaper to just make my own if I could. I'm working on it but so far not really quite right.

Bought some scamorza on Friday at the Italian store. Made a pizza that consist of 1/3 of each of the following - part-skim milk moz, whole milk moz, and scamorza. Made one today that consist of 100% of scamorza. Let's say that the one that is 100 percent scamorza I did not care for the taste too much. The one that was in the blend was much better. The coloration looks very similar to that of Sbarro so maybe it's true that they use a blend that consist of scamorza but not sure. I need to experiment more with it. Taste wise it's hard to tell if it is like Sbarro. I have to do another pizza with a blend and pay closer attention to it.
I suggest that no one use 100 percent scamorza but in a blend is fine. I have to experiment with blends to determine which is good.
