No one knows exactly when world population will reach 7 billion; data relating to birth and death is far too fluid for pin-point accuracy. Most experts agree we will reach the number this fall, so the UN has designated today as "The Day of 7 Billion" to highlight this population milestone. In many ways, this is a great achievement, but it also presents us with both challenges and opportunities, especially as huge inequities and major challenges persist.
There are many angles from which you can consider the impact of 7 billion people living on the planet: Do we have enough food to feed everyone? Will the earth's resources be depleted by expanding need? How will countries with aging populations fare as birth rates fall below replacement levels? Is quality of life expanding along with increases in population? As people live longer and healthier lives, will they choose to have fewer children? Do women and families have access to family planning so that they can decide -- freely and responsibly -- the number and spacing of their children?
The UN Population Fund's (UNFPA) 2011 State of World Population report provides an excellent point of reference for considering these complex issues. The U.S. government is a strong supporter of UNFPA, whose work is critical to achieving our global health goals. We work in partnership with UNFPA because investing in women and girls is essential to solving the world's most challenging problems.
For example, more than 600 million girls live in the developing world. It is imperative we focus development efforts on improving the lives of this next generation of women to alleviate poverty and accelerate progress on all development fronts. Women and girls are the world's engines of change: when their human rights are protected and promoted, when they are healthy and educated, and when they can participate fully in society, then progress is triggered in families, communities, and nations.
In countries around the world teenage girls are twice as likely as women over 20 to die of complications from pregnancy and childbirth. Enabling young women to avoid early pregnancy allows many to attend school longer, and as fertility falls, more women are able to join the labor force. When women have more opportunities to pursue an education, a career, and financial security, more money can then be spent on education and nutrition for their children, launching a cycle of opportunity rather than perpetuating a cycle of poverty.
Sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights as well as access to safe and effective methods of family planning are at the top of President Obama's global health agenda. Human rights and fundamental freedoms must be protected, allowing women to make their own decisions -- voluntarily -- about their health, their reproductive lives, their family size, and their futures.
It is vitally important that we work together to expand awareness that universal access to reproductive health care and family planning are not only powerful means to dramatically reduce maternal and child morbidity and mortality but are central to achieving all the global development goals. We must work to strengthen existing partnerships and create new, innovative coalitions to promote increased support for reproductive health and family planning.
Manuela P. in Spain writes:
I agree and that reproductive health is the crucial weapon to prevent infant and maternal mortality. I as a woman, I consider myself independent, and I know my friends who do not care devider, which I am very sorry, I hope that these measures do these people think.

@ Elizabeth Schlachter & Manuela in Spain,
The only "weapon" that might top maternal health care is peace to assure a safe delivery of newborns.
Not enough of that going around these days for sure.
And Humanity still has this insane facination with nuclear weapons...
Isn't it about time the people of the world stood up to their governments and asked them what their intent is and what good is it doing to continue to have the means to exterminate the 99%?
I mean hey! The 1% should take note; If folks want to "Occupy" that would be a pretty good reason to protest mutants for nukes generally and maybe that's the missing link to the evolution of the global protests we've seen;...the Arab Spring and all the food protests;...as an instinctual means of self preservation against those who would deny life itself any existance apart from conformity to living in fear.
I used to run sound for bands, all kinds of bands...headline artists etc.
Quite a few leaders of the world and rock stars have a lot in common.
Ego's, and ego's on drugs.
The world needs to drop itself into rehab before it's OD'ed on political stupidity, but folks are asking the right "What if" questions to find a cure for the addiction, but remain somewhat in denial.
So long as folks find a cure for conflict, anything is possible in recovery.
There are exceptional leaders and rock stars who's success lies in the good they do on this planet to lift mind, body and spirits into thinking mode,...so I guess there's hope for your friends along with the 6+ other billion folks.
And all that's said above in context with being a policy advisor; does not delve into the fact that all the stressors on populations mentioned above are also precursors for long-term conflict.
There's just more of us "huddled masses" now to be part of the problem and the solution.
Less Dictators, less bombs, the better humanity's chance of survival and lowering the rate of infant mortality.
So we need to do a bit of house keeping and dismantle them before they become a volitile mix and burn humanity's house down.

I wouldn't call it a "lieâ€, because this word attributes a conspiracy suspicion meaning.
I agree with you that it's very difficult to calculate. Probably it's bigger than 7.
We have officially counted the population as 7B, but we cannot have accurate numbers for Africa, we cannot measure "illegal immigration pathsâ€, which means people hiding and not counting etc. It's extremely difficult to have the exact size of the digit…
So, according to my opinion 7B is "at least +7Bâ€!
Do you think that we are getting too many? (LOL)
It's something nobody can stop…

@ John in Greece,
I'm not sure WW was refering to population numbers, or simply commenting on my post below.

For sure, WW offers some interesting and obscure references that have me getting into crypto-analytical mode trying to determine exactly what the point is...but that's just typical of every one of the 7 billion trying to articulate what they see going on around them from their perspective.

and somewhat intuitive in the realization of what will be as distinct possibility.
I think anyone crunching the numbers far enough into the future would project a "species max" being reached at some point, and the question is what happens when the limit of sustainability on this planet is reached?
assuming we havewn't squandered our resources and capital on wars and silly escapades and nations finally start joining forces instead of individually reaching for the stars;
I'll give us even odds within the next thousand years of terra forming Mars because we'll need room to grow.
I mean the easiest way to do that is to bombard Mars with icy bodies from the Oort cloud , assuming one could devise propulsion to move it using it's own H2O for fuel in robotic missions.
Then we'll have to drill a bore hole strait down to the center of Mars and dump this planet's entire accumulated nuclear waste down it (the really hot stuff, not secondary contaminated) in order to have a remote chance of creating, (or restarting) Mars' Magnetic field generating process by inducing the means to create a liquid metal core.
All this is the stuff of extreme science fiction (buiding nations today, tommorrow it may be worlds).
But if one projects out at current rates of tecnological and scientific progress as an exponential rate at present, we'll have the means to do these things,... the question will be; Will we become motivated enough to try?
As a species, that is.
Let us go to the "God of War" in peace, as a family of nations.
A family that has overcome its dysfunctionalities.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
On a more general note;
Humanity needs a project that will instil a sense of humanity, and I would recommend terra-forming our own planet before terra-forming Mars...but that's a matter too of overcoming our own species' dysfuntionalities.
Ok, let's say 7 billion planted one tree per day, for their lifetimes. (I'll use an average of 50 yrs to be conservative);
That's 127,750,000,000,000 , or One hundred twenty seven trillion, seven hundred fifty billion trees.
@ 18,250 trees per person over their lifespan.
Ok, so put their carbon credit toward paying off student loans and put twenty-somethings to work , paid to go camping for summer vacation and plant trees, minimum wage with 50- 100% on top going toward education as carbon-credit ( they are investing in the government's future too, as well as their own)...,
And you'll have a viable alternative for a lot of folks saddled with debt before they get out of the starting gate in life.
(thinking out loud here hoping my government is listening)...chuckle.
I was watching "lost boys" ( a documentary about Sudanese children caught up in conflict), and noting their amazing journey to America, and coping with a modern lifestyle with all its convieniances.
Worlds apart from the same planet we are in some respects, the 7 billion of us.
But the film reminded me why I repetedly say, "Attitude is everything."
And I guess from a diplomatic point of view, a smile is the best ambassador.
Unless of course one is engaging in simmian diplomacy, in which casae one must not show one's teeth as it be mistook for a sign of agression by apes.
...and most paranoid dictators.
John P. in Greece writes:
@ Eric in New Mexico
"A smile is the best ambassador."!
You are right, even in outer space diplomacy…
It's exactly the same way with "trees'. If you substitute the word "tree†with the phrase "human being†and we "plant" (we make happier) a "tree†per day, our world would be 127,750,000,000,000 better in 50 years.
You and I will probably be in outer space 50 years from now (LOL).
But the Earth will be better with this suggestion of yours.

Topic: Form submission with multiple records
I'm trying to create a utility for importing an address book into my rails app. Using FasterCSV, I want to pull rows off an uploaded file and show the user a page that lists each contact and their details. Here, the user should interact with the page to select which contacts to save to the database. Then, submission of the form processes the selections, saving the appropriate contacts to the database.
My trouble lies in properly constructing the form and its subsequent processing. How do I appropriately name and id form elements so that multiple contacts can be passed to the app, and each contact can be saved to the db?
Here's my strategy:
In the view:
<% filename = params[:userFile]["file"].path %> #pass the uploaded csv
<% i = 0 %>
<% form_for(:contact, :url => {:action => 'save'}) do |form| %>
<% FasterCSV.foreach(filename) do |row| %>
# here, use row|index| to refer to contact name and multiple email addresses
<%= check_box_tag 'contact', i, checked=false,
{:name => "contact[name][]", :id => "contact_name_#{i}", :value => row[1] } %>
<% i = i + 1 %>
<% end %>
<%= submit_tag("Save contacts") %>
<% end %>
So, I'm trying to pass contacts to the controller. Each contact has a name and multiple email addresses.
The controller looks like this:
for item in @params[:contact][:name] do
@contact = Contact.new(:name => item)
As the code stands right now, I can process multiple names and store them in the database. What I can't figure out is how to add the email addresses to the form.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Highway designers often face complex trade-offs when developing projects. A "quality" design may be thought of as satisfying the needs of a wide variety of users while balancing the often competing interests of cost, safety, mobility, social and environmental impacts. Applying flexibility and risk management in highway design requires more than simply assembling geometric elements from the available tables, charts and equations of design criteria. This course provides participants with knowledge of the functional basis of critical design criteria to enable informed decisions when applying engineering judgment and flexibility. The course exercises and case studies provide practical applications of current knowledge from research and operational experience of human factors and safety effects for various design elements.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
This course is targeted toward engineers that are involved in applying engineering judgment in the selection of design criteria and in the assessment of design exceptions. It is most practical for practicing engineers and highway decision makers from state highway agencies, local agencies, design consultants, and FHWA field offices.

Noah spent 120 years building an ark - all because he trusted God's promise to destroy everything on the earth with a flood. During that time. all Noah's neighbors laughed at him.
But Noah never gave up. Would your faith have survived such a test of time and hardship?
You can have that kind of faith. Unfortunately, some of us don't clearly understand what faith is or how to put it into practice.
Hebrews chapter 11 has the answer we are looking for. Listen as Old Testament giants of faith still speak to us through their lives. And John MacArthur, with his rich, expository style of preaching, draws out the lessons we can learn from each of them.
The Power of Faith will help you strengthen your confidence in God's promises. And it will prepare you for those times when the Lord calls upon you to move mountains!

GrubHub makes ordering delivery easier in Rochester
When it come to food, sometimes I just need to something very tasty brought right to me with little or no effort. Naturally, like many, I turn to ordering delivery. I have no qualms with calling a business on the phone, but being a Gen-Yer, I often feel more comfortable going through a simple online transaction. However, this seems like an option only available to larger chain restaurants that can afford to create the digital infrastructure required to place and pay for an order online.
Enter GrubHub. The startup began in 2004 as a way to make it easier to find out which local restaurants deliver food. The company began working with restaurants in Chicago, and by 2011, it operated in 13 cities with more than 100 employees, according to their website. The next thing that happened is the part that affects us Rochesterians: GrubHub secured funding to acquire CampusFood, a company operating under DotMenu in many areas, including Rochester. Thus, GrubHub's Rochester presence was established.
For myself, GrubHub has made it easier to order online from a restaurant a friend recommended I try. I placed an online order with Sol Burrito and was hooked. It was easy to put the order through and delicious burritos arrived on my doorstep in minutes!
GrubHub can also help with identifying a choices. In fact, the company says, "GrubHub helps you find and order food from wherever you are." All you have to do is put in your address and the type of food you're craving. GrubHub finds a place and takes you through the easy ordering process. Currently, GrubHub works with approximately 50 local, independently owned restaurants in Rochester, and they may add restaurants in the future, according to Allie Mack, public relations associate for GrubHub.
"While we don't discuss specifics of future growth plans, I can tell you that Rochester is a growing market for GrubHub, and we are continuing to develop relationships with new restaurants each day. And, as a college town full of hungry students, our mobile ordering apps have been a successful addition to this market," wrote Mack in an email.
I would have to agree. GrubHub made it easier for me to try something new. Which brings me to the closing question: What's your favorite Rochester restaurant that delivers?

About the Author: Suzanne Hall serves as the Public Diplomacy Advisor for Canada and Mexico in the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs.
Secretary Clinton hosted Mexican Foreign Secretary Patricia Espinosa and Canadian Foreign Minister Lawrence Cannon for a trilateral ministerial meeting at the State Department on Thursday, July 16, 2009. Secretary Clinton has met with Secretary Espinosa and Minister Cannon on various occasions over the last few months, but this was the first opportunity for the three to focus on issues relevant to North America.
The ministers discussed at length the upcoming North American Leaders' Summit during a meeting and working lunch. In her public remarks, Foreign Secretary Espinosa announced Mexico will host the next Leaders' Summit in Guadalajara, Mexico, from August 9 – 10, 2009. The leaders will focus on improving North American competitiveness and economic recovery, promoting clean energy and combating climate change, and protecting the safety of our citizens. President Obama plans to participate in the summit.
Beyond the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), many people are not focused on the many ways our three countries work together on North American, hemispheric, and global issues. The North American Leaders' Summit was originally launched in 2005 to underscore how the United States, Canada, and Mexico could work collectively to pursue opportunities and face common challenges. Guadalajara will be the fifth annual Summit, and the first in which President Obama will participate.
Working North American issues is a different kind of foreign policy. North America has been my "beat" for just a few months, and it is amazing how so many topics go beyond the typical diplomatic realm. North American issues directly touch the everyday lives of our citizens. We are dealing with state and local issues like border management, how to retrain our work forces in a time of economic crisis and how we deal with H1N1 influenza. There are many who refer to North American policies as "intermestic" – concurrently international and domestic. Often times, the local politics surrounding these issues make the work an uphill climb. However, we are taking them on, working hand-in-hand with our Mexican and Canadian colleagues, finding solutions that make sense for all of our citizens.
In past summits, North American leaders agreed to advance coordination on a wide range of issues, including economic competitiveness, pandemic flu, consumer safety, border security, emergency management, and energy security. This coordination has led to concrete benefits for our citizens. For example, the North American Plan for Avian and Pandemic Influenza was created to improve our coordinated response in the event of an outbreak. The plan was vitally important to our strong and ongoing response to the outbreak of the novel H1N1 flu earlier this year, and will prepare us for a potential return of the flu in the fall. We also work on a trilateral basis to ensure food and consumer safety, reduce the costs of cross-border trade, and cooperate on the development of more efficient energy technology.
During the next North American Leaders' Summit in Guadalajara, our leaders will relaunch our partnership to the benefit of the more than half a billion North American citizens.
President Obama summed up North American potential best during his visit to Mexico City on April 16, 2009: "What makes us good neighbors is a simple truth -- that our people share so much more than common challenges and common interests. We also share values and ideals."

Patient Warming
Warm From the Start.
Every Patient. Every Time.
Anaesthetised patients can't regulate their temperature The body's physiological response to anaesthesia places virtually every anaesthetised surgical patient at risk for unintended hypothermia, regardless of age, sex or physical condition. Research shows that core body temperature drops rapidly (up to 1.6ºC in the first hour alone1) following the induction of anaesthesia. Unfortunately, unintended hypothermia remains an all-too common and costly complication of surgery despite its association with higher mortality rates2, longer hospital stays3 and an increased rate of wound infection4.
The good news: unintended hypothermia is easily preventable Studies show that warming patients to maintain a core temperature of 36.0ºC or higher helps improve outcomes by reducing the frequency of complications often associated with unintended hypothermia. Forced-air warming offers a safe, simple, cost-effective method to prevent unintended hypothermia and its complications.
3M patient warming products include 3M™ Bair Hugger™ therapy, the 3M™ Bair Paws™ system and the 3M™ Ranger™ fluid warming systems and can help prevent unintended hypothermia and its complications. Read more about our pre-operative patient warming, intra-operative patient warming and blood and fluid warming products.

People For the American Way Foundation delivered more than 11,000 petitions to California State University Chancellor Charles B. Reed. The petitions call for the university system to adopt a policy that accommodates employees who have religious or other objections to the state's "loyalty oath" by allowing them to sign the oath and attach an explanatory statement, the very same policy of the University of California.
"It is simply beyond irony that a teacher planning an American studies course with a section on the McCarthy era would be required to sign a 'loyalty oath.' Our members are engaged around this issue, and we're committed to seeing it through to the end," said People For the American Way Foundation President Kathryn Kolbert. "This should be a straightforward matter for the University, the protection of religious freedom and free speech. We're hopeful this issue will be resolved soon."
The petition reads:
"There's no good reason for Cal State not to let employees express their religious or other objections to signing the state's "loyalty oath."
"Please uphold freedom of religion and freedom of speech by adopting a policy that allows employees to add an explanatory statement to the oath that will allow them to sign it without violating their beliefs.
This is already common practice at the University of California. You should make it the practice of Cal State."
People For became involved in the issue after Wendy Gonaver, who had been hired by Cal State Fullerton to teach classes in American Studies and Women's Studies, was fired because, as a Quaker, she was unable in good conscience to sign the "loyalty oath" without attaching a statement explaining her commitment to defending the Constitution through purely non-violent means and her concerns about the compelled nature of the oath. PFAWF attorneys are representing Gonaver with respect to her legal claims against the university over her unlawful firing.

Cider Mill Owners Discuss CSA Program
Bob and Judy Schultz, owners of Busti Cider Mill and Farm Market, presented an overview of their Community Supported Agriculture program on March 7. CSA is a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from the farmer. Busti Cider Mill uses sustainable farming techniques using minimal organic pesticides. Members buy a share of the anticipated harvest and will receive an allotment of fresh produce throughout the growing season. For more information about the CSA, call Busti Cider Mill at 487-0177.

This Friday, 500 young leaders from nearly 90 countries will convene at the United Nations headquarters for a UN Youth Assembly on global education with a very special guest speaker -- Malala Yousufzai. Their mission is simple and profound: to accelerate the goal of getting all children, especially girls, in school and learning by 2015.
The UN Secretary-General has declared July 12, Malala Day. Malala Yousafzai captured the world's attention when she was targeted and attacked in Pakistan for advocating for any girls' right to attend school. Her efforts around education and self-determination for young people around the world have only been strengthened after this incident. This Friday, on her 16th birthday, she will deliver her first public speech at the United Nations and present a youth resolution -- The Education We Want -- to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. Malala provides a powerful example of how young people around the world are directly addressing our global challenges.
Today, 57 million children are out of school. In response, the international community is partnering to address this global challenge. In September 2012, the UN Secretary-General launched the UN Global Education First Initiative to raise the political profile of education, strengthen the global movement to achieve quality education, and generate sufficient funding to further these efforts. President Obama recently held a town hall meeting with young leaders in South Africa and emphasized, "The most important investment any country can make is educating its youth." This is why the U.S. government is actively engaged in addressing this effort, for example, through the USAID Education Strategy, which is committed to increasing literacy, work development training, and access to education.
We are proud to partner with the international community, including the thousands of Malala's around the world who deserve the ability to envision a future based on their talents, passion, and self-determination.
You can watch the event live on Friday, July 12 at 9:30 a.m. (EDT) at http://webtv.un.org.

Limonana is a cold Israeli beverage, and an ideal summer afternoon delight! Its name is a combination of "Limon," which is "Lemon" in Hebrew, and "Nana," which is a type of Spearmint leaves.
Summer is almost over, which means now is the perfect time to enjoy a refreshing cup of Limonana, right before we put our shorts and bathing suits back in storage… All you need is lemons, mint (nana) leaves, water, ice (you can grind it to improve the taste) and sugar. Much like lemonade, only so much better!

Much hinges on the outcome of the World Trade Organization's Tenth Ministerial Conference in Nairobi in mid-December. The World Trade Organization (WTO) is marking the 20th anniversary of its establishment during the Uruguay Round, almost half a century after 23 countries set up its predecessor for trade in goods, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Yet the mood is far from celebratory. The downbeat feeling is more related to the question of the WTO's relevance, now and in future.
The rapid increase of the number of older persons, particularly the oldest-old - those above 80 years - increases the need for long-term care of older persons in the Asia-Pacific region. This working paper series examines the prevailing system of provision and financing of long-term care for older persons in selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
The rapid increase of the number of older persons, particularly the oldest-old - those above 80 years - increases the need for long-term care for older persons in the Asia-Pacific region. This working paper series examines the prevailing system of provision and financing of long-term care for older persons in selected countries in the Asia-Pacific region.
This paper examines the legal frameworks governing international migration in North and Central Asia. It shows how these frameworks have developed since 1991 at the national, bilateral and subregional level, in both countries of origin and destination, and how effective these frameworks are at protecting migrants and ensuring that international migration in the subregion is safe, orderly, regular and responsible. To this end, it concludes with recommendations for future reforms.
As a pillar of regional connectivity, the telecommunication infrastructure is now seen as the enabler to facilitate the movements of goods, people, money, services and knowledge within and across national borders. Thus, reliability, diversity, speed and resilience of regional (and national) ICT infrastructure, in particular broadband networks, is a critical development priority of the region. In recognition of the prominence of this infrastructure, new emphasis has been placed on the concept of e-resilience.
This Guide provides meeting organizers with step-by-step, comprehensive advice for the planning of disability-inclusive meetings. The Guide builds on the Incheon Strategy goals to promote the participation of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes and to enhance the accessibility to both the physical environment and knowledge as well as information and communication services. Crucially, the Guide reaffirms that meetings across all themes are enriched by the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities.
Reducing Trade Costs in Asia-Pacific Developing Countries (Studies in Trade and Investment No. 84). International trade has been a major engine for economic growth and development in Asia and the Pacific. However, overall trade costs remain excessively high in many developing countries of the region. Part I of this publication provides an overview of trade costs in Asia and the Pacific, based on the most recent update of the ESCAP-World Bank Trade Cost Database. Policies and factors affecting international trade costs are identified.
How much of international trade costs can be mitigated through implementation of trade facilitation measures and policies? What measures and policies affect trade costs the most? This paper updates findings from Duval and Utoktham (2011), based on ESCAP-World Bank Trade Costs Database. Among the top trade facilitating regions are East and North-East Asia, followed by South-East Asia. The dominance of those regions are fully consistent with the trade-led growth strategies of these economies and their emphasis on reducing international trade costs.
This working paper explores the potential brought about by information and communications technology (ICT) in improving the sustainability of road transport through the implementation of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). The paper has been prepared by the ICT and Development Section of ESCAP, and is addressed to ICT policymakers of developing countries in Asia and the Pacific.

Nokia 808 Pureview - The Only 41-Megapixel Belle in Town
The Nokia 808 PureView gets its attention, rightly so because of its whopping "41-megapixel" camera. However, is the phone just about its camera capabilities? We spent some time with it and here are our thoughts on the Belle-flavored phone.
Hands-on: Nokia 808 PureView
While we have had our hands full with the 41-megapixel Nokia 808 PureView at MWC earlier this year, here's a mini hands-on session to showcase the phone's photographic prowess and its photo-friendly software.

What is America's most beautiful coin? While the Walking Liberty half dollar, the Oregon Trail commemorative half dollar, and the $20 St. Gaudens gold piece will receive lots of votes, there's also heavy support for the Standing Liberty quarter. Hermon MacNeil's inspired design has been equally inspiring to collectors, who have sought to find examples of this coin in the finest condition possible. This series is collected with or without full head detail (depending on how important the collector thinks it is).

Blueberry-Lemon Muffins
- 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar (white or light brown) plus more for sprinkling on top of the muffins
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon fine salt
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 12-muffin tin with cupcake liners and set aside.
Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg together in a medium bowl; set aside.
Put the butter in a microwaveable-safe dish or measuring cup. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. (Alternatively melt the butter in a saucepan.) Whisk the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla with the butter.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients. Pour wet ingredients into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon until the dry ingredients are moistened but still lumpy. Do not overmix the batter or your muffins will be dense. Gently stir in the blueberries. Divide the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle the tops generously with sugar.
Put the muffins in the oven and immediately reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, about 25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through the cooking. (Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin to check if it is done. Toothpick should come out clean). Cool muffins in the pan on a rack for a couple minutes. Turn the muffins out of the pan and cool on the rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

N.Y. Power Authority Conducts Equipment Tests for Commercial Operation of New Power Plant in Queens
Michael Saltzman
September 21, 2005
QUEENS—Equipment tests continue at a new power plant in Astoria in preparation for the New York Power Authority (NYPA) placing the facility in commercial operation by the end of the year.
The equipment tests, which began earlier this month on one of the 500-megawatt project's two combustion turbines, are a standard practice for any new generating project before it is placed in service. NYPA is currently testing the second turbine, which will produce small amounts of electricity during the process, as it verifies the equipment is operating as designed.
The new power plant, which features advanced combined-cycle technology for greater fuel efficiency, burns clean natural gas, with low-sulfur oil as a backup fuel. The hot gases normally lost by older power plants during fuel combustion are captured to drive a steam turbine, and generate additional amounts of electricity.
This will also contribute to making the new plant, which is equipped with the latest emission controls, among the cleanest generating facilities in New York City.
The Power Authority built the new combined-cycle plant to help it continue to meet the electricity requirements of its large government customers in New York City, who save hundreds of millions of dollars a year in lower energy costs as NYPA customers. They include schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and the subways and commuter trains.
The New York Power Authority is the largest nonfederal public power utility in the country. It also is a leader in energy efficiency and pioneering alternative-generating technologies like solar power and fuel cells.

Worth a read. Interesting comparisons:http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2006/08/in_wildwood_new_jersey_its_macks_vs_sams.htmlIt mentions the cheeses and sauce to cheese ratios.
Norma,I recently found a photo of a Mack's pizza slice, at http://www.crazyaboutwildwood.com/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/webassets/314314.JPG, where the photo shows the presence of a lot of herbs, most likely including oregano. From what I can tell, your photos do not show that amount of herbs in the sauce. Is it possible that there are oregano shakers on the tables at Mack's?Peter
Mike,Those pizzas look terrific. Were they 14" pizzas with KABF/Bob's Red Mill VWG, and 0.50% IDY, one day of fermentation, and baked only on a stone and without using the broiler element? And how did the crusts taste?From what I have read, a Mack's pizza can look like a NY style but is sometimes described as having a more cracker-like rim. Norma and others who have had the Mack's pizzas will better be able to describe the characteristics of a basic Mack's crust. A Mack's pizza only uses a white cheddar cheese and is supposed to be so oily that the fat drips/rolls of of a slice when held vertically. Thanks again for pitching in.Peter
But then again, I got nothing to compare it to so we all really rely on you for now... I'll definitely play around with it some more.
I forgot to mention that the one thing that bugged me a little about the pizzas was the puffiness of the outer rim (cornicione). I was hoping for a less puffy one and more in line with the NJ Boardwalk style.
They also spin it, something I can't do due to a low kitchen ceiling. But I will try to do it as close as the guy in the video next time.

PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (Nov. 13, 2010) - No one will confuse the William P. Hytche Athletic Center at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore with the nearby Frederick Douglass Library during the 2010-11 basketball season.
That's because UMES has a brand new band – with lots of pep.
"I'm excited we had the courage to do this," sophomore La'Kejina Allen of Baltimore said. "This is one of the extracurricular activities I wanted to get involved in when I came here."
The new pep band made its debut Oct. 15 - the first day the NCAA allows basketball teams to start practicing. It will perform at men's and women's games throughout the season.
As the band marched into the gym that night, Board of Visitor Chairman Jesse Williams and fellow alumni applauded wildly. Williams and Delphine Lee lead the fund-raising to revive the band.
Williams, a former UMES basketball player, said the atmosphere that night reminded him of his undergraduate days.
So far, the grassroots effort to raise $110,000 has produced $75,000 in donations.
Students believe once the community hears the band's talent and sees its energy, more donations will flow in.
For now, the student-musicians are happy to entertain appreciative crowds.
Morgan Jenkins, a junior from Frederick, started playing drums before enrolling in elementary school and continued through middle and high school.
A transfer student from Lackawanna College in Scranton, Pa., Jenkins said, "I had to get involved when I heard there was going to be a pep band here."
Freshman Sean Woods of Clinton, Md., thought his student-musician days might be over when he headed off to college. But when Woods showed up in August to enroll, he heard a pep band was being formed and signed up.
"I saw this as a way of continuing my music (playing) career," said Woods, who plays one of the three shiny, new sousaphones.
Woods' Oxon Hill High classmate, Kwame Appiah, said playing saxophone in the pep band is "a way of getting involved in college life. I wanted to do more than just going to class."
Players and coaches took notice of change in the atmosphere.
Frankie Allen, the men's head basketball coach, said reviving the pep band "is one of the best things the university could have committed to. It gives us a much-needed boost for our home games. They truly can be our sixth man."
Senior guard Josh Bright called it "a good look for the school and … great for support. It gets the crowd livened up and creates a great atmosphere."
Both remember the feeling of being on the lone team at the 2010 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference tournament without a pep band.
"It is the foundation of a great atmosphere, not just for the players, but for everyone in attendance," women's head basketball coach Fred Batchelor said. "It will add to not only excitement, but also to the advantage of home-court."
"They'll bring more fans that want to see the band, and they will get me pumped up for the game," senior Casey Morton said.
When the pep band entered the Hytche center Oct. 15 marching in sync but suddenly burst into spontaneous dance seen in Mardi Gras parades. The crowded loved it.
"It's something that's been missing around here," head bowling Coach Sharon Brummell said. "The band brings back a different flavor to the game."
"I absolutely love it," Brummell said.

United States District Court, Seventh Circuit
April 30, 2013
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff,v.LAZARO MENDEZ-VANEGAS, Defendant.
DAVID R. HERNDON, Chief District Judge.
This matter was referred to United States Magistrate Judge Clifford J. Proud for the specific purpose of conducting a change of plea for defendant Lazaro Mendez-Vanegas, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636, LOCAL RULE 72.1(b)(2) and defendant Mendez-Vanegas (Doc. 21). Pursuant to FEDERAL RULE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE 11, the change of plea hearing was held on April 10, 2013 (Doc. 20). During the change of plea, defendant Mendez-Vanegas pled guilty to illegal reentry after deportation by a convicted felon following a thorough colloquy with Judge Proud. Thereafter, Judge Proud issued a Report and Recommendation ("the Report") recommending that the Court accept defendant Mendez-Vanegas' plea of guilty (Doc. 24).
In accordance with 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1)(B), the parties were allowed fourteen days to file written objections. As of this date, neither party has filed an objection. Therefore, the Court ADOPTS the Report in its entirety. Thus, based on the record in the case, the recommendation of the Magistrate Judge, the consent of the defendant to plead before the magistrate without subsequent objection, it is the finding of the Court in the case of United States v. Mendez-Vanegas, that defendant Mendez-Vanegas was fully competent and capable of entering an informed plea, that defendant Mendez-Vanegas was aware of the nature of the charges and the consequences of the plea, and that the plea of guilty was a knowing and voluntary plea supported by an independent basis in fact containing each of the essential elements of the offense. Accordingly, the Court ACCEPTS the guilty plea and ADJUDGES Mendez-Vanegas GUILTY on the charge in the Indictment. The Court REMINDS the parties that this matter for sentencing on August 2, 2013, at 10:00 a.m.
