Produce At Your Doorstep
With all the rain we've had recently, and now that the summer sun is shining down upon the abundant fields in our area, fabulous fruits and vegetables are sprouting up all over Western New York. Make sure you take full advantage of all of the reasonably priced and wonderfully flavorful produce being grown at your doorstep. There is simply nothing better tasting, or better for you, than eating locally grown produce.
While there's nothing wrong with eating fresh fruits and vegetables straight from the garden, and there's certainly nothing easier, you may also want to use that fresh produce in a tasty recipe. Many of us, once it gets too hot in our kitchens, start using outdoor grills. Grilling can be a fun, economical and delicious way to cook and, thankfully, there are loads of great grilling recipes that include vegetables and fruit.
When grilling vegetables and fruit, the first thing that comes to mind for many people is kabobs loaded with vegetables, fruit and meat; like chicken, green pepper and pineapple kabobs. They're great, but kabobs don't have to include meat. In fact, if you are grilling vegetables or fruit you may want to thread them on a kabob separate from your meat because you'll find the meat and produce often require different cooking times. Even different kinds of vegetables can require different cooking times, depending on their density and moisture content. That's also why you'll need to watch them closely so they don't overcook or burn.
You may also need to experiment with settings on your grill, if you have that type of equipment, or just learn to read your charcoal. Charcoal is usually ready when it has a light coating of grey ash on it, but it will help if you remember that vegetables and fruits generally require less heat than is needed to grill meat. Plus, the smaller the pieces of produce you place on the grill, the faster they will cook.
When heading out to purchase items to grill, it's important to note that some produce simply does better than others on a grill. Vegetables with high water contents, like onions, peppers, mushrooms, corn-on-the-cob, asparagus, eggplant, summer squash, okra and tomatoes, hold up real well on the grill. Other vegetables, like carrots and sweet potatoes, need to be softened before you put them on your grill or they'll burn on the outside before they're fully cooked on the inside. You can help the cooking process along by starting them in a microwave or by boiling them first.
The easiest way to grill vegetables is to use large high water content vegetables. Simply brush them lightly with oil and place them directly on your grill grate. Large portabella mushrooms are especially tasty when cooked on a grill like this. They're so hearty that many people are using them as a meat replacement these days. Just lightly score your portabella mushroom cap so moisture can escape, drizzle the other side with a little oil, sprinkle with herbs and then grill them cap side down on foil for about 10 minutes.
When grilling large vegetables, the light coating of oil seals in moisture, provides flavor, and will prevent them from sticking. This is especially important with vegetables like carrots, squash and asparagus because they are low water content produce.
Grilling is a good way to get your family to try new vegetables or veggies they tried before and didn't like. Vegetables like peppers, onion, eggplant and zucchini take on new flavors on a grill. The flavor change could be enough to make even the pickiest of eaters change their minds. A drizzle of balsamic vinegar might make them taste even better. Who knows? Grilling might just make a vegetable people wouldn't touch before into a new favorite.
You can also marinade your vegetables before cooking them to make them more flavorful. There are loads of great marinade recipes out there. Most are very simple and won't cost you much cash or prep time.
One very easy marinade can be made simply by blending one-half cup of olive oil with cup of red wine vinegar. Brush it directly on vegetables about 15 minutes before setting them on the grill.
Just remember that if you choose to use a marinade with added sugar, it may cause your vegetables and fruit to blacken or burn, especially if you don't watch them closely.
Vegetables usually take around 15-20 minutes to cook on the grill over medium heat. Most need to be turned only once. You can tell when they're done by simply checking to see if they're tender. Just don't leave them on so long that they get mushy, burn or dry out.
It's also important to keep everyone you feed safe, so you need to make sure your grill is sparkling clean before you start cooking anything on it. Then scrub your vegetables well before cutting into them. Cut your vegetables into uniformly sized pieces, making sure those pieces are large enough so they won't fall through the grill grates. You want the vegetable pieces to be approximately the same size so they take the same amount of time to cook and each piece cooks evenly.
Once your vegetables are prepared and you're ready to head out to your grill, make sure you have all the tools you'll need handy. For instance, you'll need a spatula or tongs to turn your produce on the grill. Just be sure you use different tools and plates with vegetables than you use with meat. You really don't want to make anybody sick. Turning raw or partially cooked meat with the same tool you're using to turn produce on your grill can lead to cross-contamination and much misery.
If you plan to grill smaller fruit or vegetable pieces you can purchase a grill basket at a reasonable price to make sure the pieces don't fall through the grate into the fire below or, as mentioned before, just skewer the pieces together. Lots of people make a small investment in metal skewers they can reuse while others prefer to use something like disposable bamboo or wood skewers. It's really up to you. However, you do have to remember to soak the disposable skewers before using them if you don't want them to go up in flames.
However, probably the easiest and cheapest way to grill smaller vegetable pieces would be to encase them in an easy to make aluminum foil grill packet. Simply lay out a large sheet of aluminum foil and spray it lightly with cooking spray. Spread your vegetables on it, fold it over and crimp the edges together to form a packet. When placed on the grill, the vegetables will steam in that packet. Just make sure to flip it halfway through the cooking time so they cook evenly. If you want your kids to eat more vegetables, this is one great way to make that happen. Let them choose the vegetables they want to put into their very own personalized foil packet. Chunks of corn on the cob and baby potatoes mixed with big slices of onion and carrot or sweet potato and would make a delightful first packet, especially if sprinkled with some fresh herbs before being sealed up. Then let them mark their packet in some way and you can bet they'll be anxious to eat the concoction they designed.
Leftover grilled veggies keep well for up to three days when wrapped and refrigerated. Use them up in green salads, sandwiches or casseroles, or simply stir them into cooked grains or a pasta salad.
Once you enjoy grilled vegetables, it's time to start thinking about the mouthwatering fruit dishes you can make on a grill. Grilled fruit makes fabulous fruit salsas. Grilled fruit can also act as a side to meat dishes. However, because grilling caramelizes the natural sugar in fruit, grilled fruit also makes wonderful dessert. Served with a sprinkling of cinnamon or a little low fat yogurt or ice cream, or a dollop of whipped cream, grilled fruit can transport you to heaven.
Pineapple, pears, apples and other firm fruits require less monitoring on the grill than do soft fruits like bananas, plums and peaches. Those fruits cook very quickly. Fruits with stones or seeds should be cut in half, cored and brushed with oil to prevent sticking. Grill fruit only until they're golden and heated throughout. Then sit back and relish the delightful fruits of your labor.
Look for great new ideas for including more fruits and vegetables in your diet at Choosemyplate.gov or by using the recipe finder tool on the USDA website and remember, if you're struggling to make ends meet, you may be eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program. SNAP helps low-income people buy nutritious food and beverages. The U.S. Department of Agriculture knows that a healthy diet will likely reduce health care costs, so it's putting healthy food within everyone's reach. To find out more about SNAP benefit eligibility call 1-800-342-3009, apply online for SNAP benefits at www.mybenefits.ny.gov/, or contact your local social services office.
And if you're looking for more ideas to improve your health, check out Cornell University Cooperative Extension's Eat Smart New York program. You'll find fun new ways to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your day, reduce your intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, get at least the recommended 30 minutes of physical activity each and every day, all while also saving money. Sessions are held at convenient times and locations throughout Chautauqua County. Bilingual education is available. For more information call 664-9502, ext. 217.
So cool off and head outside to try:
Grilled Vegetable Packets
2 zucchinis, small (sliced)
2 yellow squash, small (sliced)
4 red potatoes, small (scrubbed well and sliced)
1/2 red onion (sliced)
1/2 bell pepper (red or green, seeded and sliced)
1/4 cupItalian salad dressing, light
salt and pepper (optional, to taste)
Heat coals or grill to medium heat, or 350 degrees.
Wash vegetables and slice.
Toss in a large bowl. Add dressing and toss until all vegetables are coated.
Tear two large squares of aluminum foil and place half of the vegetable mixture on each piece. Place an equal piece of foil over the top of vegetable mixture and fold bottom piece with top sheet to form a packet.
Place on heated grill for 20-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender. If you don't have a grill, bake veggie packets in the oven at 400 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
Before you open the packets, poke holes in the foil with a fork. Be very careful opening the foil as the steam will be very hot and could burn you.
Empty vegetables onto serving plate or serve from foil packets.
Variations: Don't be afraid to try different vegetables. Tomatoes, green beans, sweet potatoes, mushrooms, broccoli, carrots, corn or other favorites can all work great. You can also use herbs or spices like chili powder, Italian or oriental seasoning, basil, oregano, curry powder in place of the dressing, be creative.

Here's how RW members rated this race (1164 votes).
In short: Excellent race, my favourite half, will be back again next year!In full: Yet again an absolutely fantastic day, loved every minute!!! Yes its expensive, but you get a good quality medal, goody bag and the race village is great. Yes its busy, but what do you expect from a big city half? I got my PB here last year and was seconds off it this year, so it can't be that congested! I'm a club runner but I love the support and I love the big city race feel of this race. With nearly 10,000 runners I'm afraid its going to be busy and there's always going to be a few queues for bags/toilets!!! Thanks Bath for another fab race :o) Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Great race and atmosphere but probably too expensive for the experience.In full: My home Half-marathon and a really enjoyable experience with a PB :)Lots of regular info in lead up to the race via facebook and email, so kept fully informed about conditions etc.Race day was very chilly but plenty of supporters to cheer you round - thanks to all the volunteers you really make the difference!I like the two lap course as you really know what to expect and seeing the elite go whizzing by is always impressive. I do feel though that there should be more colour bands according to predicted times - the congested first mile doesn't doesn't help this as there was lots of weaving and overtaking not great for the faster or slower runners.Finish was well organised and I was able to collect my bag quickly. Loved the experience and want to repeat it but it all depends on the price!Husband and children took part in Family Fun Run and enjoyed the experience - kids were slightly disappointed that they did not get a goody bag as they previously have done, although they were grateful for the sweets.Hope to be back next year :)Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: fantastic day!In full: this was my first half marathon and i have to say how much i enjoyed it! i was really dreading it on the morning of the race but loved it as i got into the zone. was so cold at the beginning but soon warmed up after mile 2! beautiful scenery and energetic crowd. definitely coming back next year!Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: I had high hopes but overall felt a little disappointedIn full: I had high hopes for this, but felt a little disappointed at the end. It's the most expensive half I have done but I didn't feel a sense of value. For me, negatives which the organisers could address would be the lack of pacemakers, a very congested course and splits at 10k only. I felt I could have posted a quicker time but due to the two lap arrangement the course feels pretty narrow throughout and there are several points where it's so congested you are held up by other runners. There were quite a few supporters, but they weren't exactly vocal and versus others I have run the atmosphere for runners was the weakest, but of course the organisers aren't responsible for that! Bath is a gorgeous city but the route doesn't show it off much (twice along the dull Bristol Road), but at least the inclines are gentle... Plusses - at the finish it was very easy to have your chip removed and collect your goodie bag. Glad I've done it but don't think I'll do it again.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Lovely busy raceIn full: What a chilly morning, but a splendid race. Park and ride worked well, maybe too well as at one point the guys managing the queues said there were 600 people waiting to get on buses - and at 9.30 they made the sensible decision to prioritise runner rather than let the supporters on. Well done whoever made that call! The race was very well supported, lovely amount of people cheering on. Only annoying part was that by every one of the Heart FM gazebos the floor was absolutely deep in discarded jelly babies that you could either try to dodge around (and crash into other runners) or run over and end up with them mashed in the bottom of your shoes ...eughhh. I chose the latter. Super race though, I'll be back next yearDate of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Worth doing at least once in your lifeIn full: First of all, this is the most expensive race I have ever entered and I've run plenty of half marathons over the years. What you get in return is a pretty well organised race with plenty on offer.I found the 2 lap course both an advantage and disadvantage. It was a positive because after the first lap, my buddy and I found we could push much harder in the second lap because we knew what was coming up, taking full advantage of the downhill sections and so on. My spectators that came to watch me also preferred the system because they were able to see me twice; there was also a constant flow of action to see without any large gaps in between. The big disadvantage is that the system wasn't enforced so people were all over the place with one idiotic marshal actually riding his bike right in front of the Lucozade station, blocking loads of runners from grabbing a bottle!The course had far more undulations than I expected, though I still felt it was a fast course and certainly PB potential to be had. The start desperately needs sorting out, perhaps into waves and people need to put themselves in the right pens when starting out. I was in the last white pen and there were people around me clearly running slower than 9 minute miles when I was running at 7:30 minute miles, bang on target pace to get into that group.The goodie bag was decent and the system to get people away from the finish area and de-tagged was also efficient.It is quite an expensive event to enter and is currently the priciest event I've run at so far. You do get a lot for your money and I imagine the road closures are probably the most expensive element, especially with all the cars I saw being towed away on Saturday!All in all, I'm very pleased I decided to enter and it's one of the best spring half marathons in the UK at the moment.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Good but expensiveIn full: Second time I've done this and enjoyed the day again. Probably the fastest half-marathon course I've run and another PB confirmed that. Fantastic support and really good atmosphere. Pretty expensive for a half. Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: Course was 13.24 on GarminIn full: My main problem was that my Garmin measured the course at 13.24. I posted on their FB page and 6 others had exact same distance. This means it couldn't be due to weaving. Same happened last year at Brighton 1/2, all the Garmins were correct, eventually they admitted course was 0.4 miles too long. Apart from this fairly major alleged problem, it was well organised, a bit congested and really cold even after 10 miles of running. I got a good PB so am chuffed.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In full: Support around the course was great, especially the bands and HeartFM cars. Slightly more undulating than expected, and definitely longer than 13.1 miles by my watch anyway. Not a big deal for those running for fun, but important if you are trying to carve seconds off your best. I had it 400m long - maybe a bit of GPS error, maybe I lost the racing line somewhere - or maybe the course really is a little bit long.Date of review: March 4, 2013
In short: An OK race which could be better!In full: I was fortunate to receive a good for age free place, so thank you for that. As someone who is also involved in organising a race there are a few things which I do hope will be seen as constructive. With such a large field over two laps the mile markers are very small, & often not even close to the markers on the road!There is an accident waiting to happen unless ALL the marshalls work together & keep the guys on the first lap to the left of the cones when some of us hit the second lap. Hats off to everyone, from the quickest to the slowest, but much of my second lap was spent watching other runners as I tried to run the shortest line!Race info could be much improved. The little race day guide had a map of the village which told us where the rugby ground was but not the baggage tent! I was lucky enough to pick up an age group prize, & had emailed the organisers beforehand with questions. I was rather peeved to find that after waiting around in the cold for ages that only the elite awards were being presented & the rest would be posted. Hats off to these fast guys, but hey, you wouldn't have much of a race with the other 9000 plus runners!Yes, I will come back, & the support on a freezing cold morning was amazing.Date of review: March 4, 2013

Prep Roundup (9-27-13)
TRAVERSE CITY- The Alpena football team trailed Traverse City West by just six points late in the fourth quarter on Friday, but couldn't score a game-tying touchdown and ultimately walked away with a 36-22 loss.
Tyler Pintar threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Kaleb Smith with 4:30 left in the game to pull the game to within six points, 28-22. Octavian Waugh put West ahead for good though with a 22-yard touchdown run and two-point conversion with 1:24 left.
Pintar was 23-of-44 passing for 301 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. Smith had 96 yards on five catches with two scores. Josh Bell had 126 yards on seven receptions with one touchdown.
Alpena (1-4, 0-3) trailed 13-7 at halftime after Pintar hit Smith with a 16-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. West added a touchdown in the third quarter and both teams scored 15 points in the fourth quarter.
Bell's touchdown came on a 16-yard catch with 11:37 left in the fourth quarter.
On the ground, Jordan Ferguson had 40 yards on 14 carries for Alpena and Pintar added 29 yards on six carries.
Alpena plays at Cheboygan next Friday.
Posen 62, Bellaire 14
POSEN-Posen's homecoming football game couldn't have gone any better on Friday as the Vikings upset the previously undefeated Bellaire 62-14.
"These guys were the second-best team in eight-man last year. They were two points away from winning the state championship. To come out and beat them like that really sends a message to the league," Posen coach Wayne Karsten said.
The Vikings did much of their damage in the first quarter, jumping out to a 21-0 lead. They continued to pull ahead at the half, with a 34-8 lead.
Posen only scored one touchdown in the third quarter, to go up 41-8, outscored Bellaire 21-6 in the final quarter.
"It was just absolute domination on every aspect of the game," Karsten said.
Nick Hincka had a big night, picking up 412 yards on 35 carries with four touchdowns.
Brandon Dietz also had a big night, picking up 419 yards on 21 carries with two touchdowns. Travis Sharpe had two touchdowns, one rushing and the other a receiving touchdown.
Posen is now 3-2 and hosts Engadine next week.
No football scores were reported from Rogers City, Onaway and Atlanta.

The whole Christian life can be summed up in one statement: "Be imitators of God" (Eph.5:1)
Everything that is true of the Lord is to be reproduced in us. If we're to imitate Him; we need to duplicate His character in our lives.
There's no greater or more fulfilling calling that we could have then to pattern our lives after the Lord. But how is that done? What is the key to pushing aside our humanness and displaying the divine attributes?
That's John MacArthur's subject in this study of Ephesians 5:1-7. It's a concise and direct definition on how to live as a Christian.

Top 6 Social Media Fails Every Worker Should Learn From
Workers in every profession make mistakes in social media -- and get fired for them. But teachers' social media fails seem to be its own meme, as every day there seems to be another teacher making an epic gaffe on Facebook and Twitter. As educators, they are supposed to impart wisdom to their students. But when it comes to social media, at least some instructors need to head back to school.
Pouring over some recent examples of teachers' social media fails, AOL Jobs compiled the top 6 mistakes teachers made in social media this year. Don't imagine you're exempt. These are social media mistakes no worker should make. Unless, of course, you hate your job and are looking for a second career, say, in reality TV.
1. Think you're hot? Don't tweet it.
Carly McKinney, a 23-year-old math teacher at Overland High School in Aurora, Colo, had a perfectly nice job ... until her superiors got wind of racy tweets. They included topless and other revealing self-portraits and messages like "stay sexy ... stay high ... stay drunk," to say nothing of referring to a student as "jail bait" or saying that she was high while grading papers.
McKinney claimed that the Twitter account was a parody she set up with friends. Students rallied to her defense. School administrators were undoubtedly laughing uproariously when they first put her on paid administrative leave and then fired her.
2. Keep your side career off Facebook.
Having active outside interests help teachers relax and stay in fine form. In the case of Olivia Sprauer, a part-time bikini model who taught English at Martin County High School in Florida, it was literally true. In early May, the principal called her into his office, showed some of her posing work on a computer screen, and asked if it was her. She said yes and he said bye.
Finding the evidence of her side career wasn't too difficult as Sprauer, under her modeling name of Victoria James, reportedly had them posted on Facebook.
The single mother of two says she was already going to resign at the end of the school year, so the dismissal was only a month early. And she knew that getting fired for the photos was a possibility. She was right. By May 9, the gloves, or something else, was off as she offered topless and nude posters for sale on her Facebook account. At the end of May, she told The Huffington Post that she would donate a portion of the proceeds to the Red Cross' Oklahoma tornado relief efforts.

Topic: When to omit parenthesis?
I know with ruby, one can omit parenthesis from a method call in many cases. However, I am wondering generally what are the standards or best practices with this? In rails, I've been omitting them except where required. For example:
def create
@product = Product.new params[:product]
def update
@product = Product.find params[:id]
@product.update_attributes params[:product]
<%= link_to image_tag('pic.png'), product_path %>
But im wondering if this is really the best way to go. Look at the ASP.net for example, where MSDN lays out the standards on naming conventions and so forth.
Thanks for your input

The first time I had a brie and nutella sandwich was at The Smile in New York, where my old friend chef Melia Marden serves the stuff on a warm baguette. It's really darn good.
Nutella makes most things better. This is something most of us already know.
Another thing we can agree on: toasting things in butter makes better things even more better. So why not take her great sandwich idea, apply a bit of butter and heat to the equation, and see what we get?
Rather than my normal choice of white sandwich bread, I like the heartier texture of a french-style loaf here. More pores for stuff to ooze into, you know? The key is to slice the bread extra thick and grill extra slow so that the melted cheese and chocolate drip in and out of every nook and cranny. I'm not going to lie: this is a delicious mess of a sandwich.

The Children
of Abraham Project
There is an interfaith event that is taking place at St. Francis of Assisi in Youngsville on Saturday, Sept. 7, starting at 6 p.m. The premise behind The Children of Abraham Project is to bring the three Abrahamic faiths Judaism, Islam and Christianity together in open dialogue to educate people and combat prejudices in our communities.
The idea for The Children of Abraham Project was developed as I was examining the Episcopal Baptismal Covenant. I felt that I was not fully living into the promises I made. The question from the Baptismal Covenant that really struck home was "Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?" I felt that I was not fulfilling this vow by not responding to injustices that I see in our society, but more importantly in our own communities.
In offering this event to our community, our hope is to bring change and reconciliation to the world – one mind, one heart at a time. Racism, prejudice, and violence are all-to-common, even in America. Finding peace among and within our communities cannot be successful without each of us working together to defeat hatred, injustice, and the stereotypical images that permeate our communities.
There was an event held at St. Francis last October, we had over 45 people in attendance. The feedback that we obtained was very good, and we were encouraged to have another event. One of the topics that seemed to be of interest was the roles of the husband and wife in a marriage.
Speaking on behalf of the Jewish prospective will be Harvey Stone, a practicing Jew from the Warren area who is well versed in his religion and traditions. He is a structural engineer who owns and operates a successful business in the Warren area.
Speaking from Muslim prospective will be Sam Qadri from the Jamestown Islamic Society. Mr. Qadri is a teacher at Jamestown High School (NY) and a professor at the Jamestown Community College.
I am a parishioner at St. Francis of Assisi Episcopal Church in Youngsville. I am also a Postulant for Holy Orders in the Episcopal Church. Our goal is to inform, educate and combat prejudices.
There are also plans in the works to hold events in Franklin and in the Hermitage area.
There will be some refreshments and finger foods.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met today with Spanish Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez in Madrid. After their meeting, Secretary Clinton said:
"Thank you so very much, Trini, for those warm words, and also for the excellent working relationship that we have. And the meeting we just completed demonstrated that once again. It was a wide-ranging, comprehensive discussion of so many of the important issues, not only the bilateral issues, but regional and global issues, as well. And it underscores the enduring relationship between the United States and Spain.
"We are very grateful that the ties between our two nations run deep. Our alliance is rooted in enduring bonds of history and heritage, and they spring from our shared values. Spain is a trusted partner and a valued friend. And together we are leading members of a Transatlantic community that remains an unrivaled force for peace, progress, and prosperity in the world.
"As the foreign minister said, we not only discussed a wide range of issues, but we enhanced our cooperative relationship in a number of areas. Let me just mention a few.
"I thanked the foreign minister for Spain's contributions to the NATO/ISAF mission in Afghanistan, and expressed my condolences to the government and to the families of those Spanish soldiers killed and injured in the last week.
"This month we are beginning the transition to Afghan responsibility, and it will be completed in 2014. I want to applaud the Spanish forces for their bravery and skill, and especially for the excellent work that is being done training the Afghan police force. I am also grateful for the Spanish investment in health care services in Badghis Province, including the construction of a maternity and pediatric center. We agreed on the importance of moving forward with unity and urgency on all three tracks in Afghanistan: military, civilian, and diplomatic.
"We also discussed our shared conviction that Qadhafi needs to stop the assault on the Libyan people, and leave power. We appreciate Spain's contributions to enforcing the no-fly zone and the arms embargo. The NATO-led mission is on track. The pressure on Qadhafi is mounting. And the rebels have been gaining strength and momentum. We need to see this through, and we are in complete agreement that we will.
"There is hardly a major global challenge that we are not working on together. Spain is a strong presence at the G20 as a permanent participant. And we are partners at the nuclear security summit and in food security, climate change, and shared endeavors in Haiti and elsewhere. We work especially closely throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, where Spain's continued investment in strong democracies and economies is having a real impact.
"Earlier this month, both the foreign minister and I were together in Guatemala, where we joined with other donors to announce a major package of support for Central America's fight against drug traffickers and criminal organizations. And today we continued our conversation about how together we can enhance citizen safety across Latin America.
"Our close connections extend to our economic relationship. Under President Zapatero's leadership, the Spanish Government has taken important steps to strengthen its finances, restructure its banking sector, and improve its competitiveness. We understand how difficult those steps are, and we know that Spain still faces significant challenges as it works to consolidate its finances, bring down unemployment, and overcome the legacy of the global economic crisis.
"So, I know that the Spanish Government will continue the process of reform, and I want publicly to say how much we understand that this takes time and patience to make these changes, and to see them through. It is our hope that European leaders continue to make sure that Europe's response to the crisis is strong, flexible, and effective.
"As I told the foreign minister, Spain can count on the unwavering friendship, not only of the United States Government, but of the American people. Spain is the second-fastest growing investor in the United States, and the United States is one of Spain's largest trading partners. As we each seek to create jobs for our people and grow our economies, we will work together to expand investment and trade between our countries. I had the chance yesterday evening to take a walk in beautiful Madrid, and I saw so many Americans. (Laughter.) So I know that American support for the Spanish economy is strong.
"So, my friend, my colleague, this is a full agenda. And I am delighted to be working so closely with you. Our interests and our values converge, and I thank you again for your hospitality and friendship. And I thank also the Spanish people for their commitment to our very strong alliance."
You can read the full transcript of Secretary Clinton's remarks with Foreign Minister Jimenez here.
Palgye in South Korea writes:
President at the White House, State Secretary at the State Department and Congress (and frankly, a little influence in Congress is absolutely, I think personally), so is, Health insurance and Health care as a joint effort and work, willing to legislate is wondering if there. Facing bankruptcy, the state Legislature budget do you think the potential is almost rare. The problem is, now him with a particular issue, should appeal to the people, next year's elections swiwojilgeogo other candidates to stop their proliferation, while competition within the competition, likely to lead to the results of the elections are suspect. Although other candidates have weakened the capacity of, and economic issues (employment difficulties) persists, the easy way, I think there is likely to be off-road. Each time you failed economic policies, while other candidates talk about these weaknesses, I think you try to run for president. And you also attract the attention of citizens (the media keeps the pros and cons, much better situation as if broadcasting, advertising costs are also expected that you will love it.) Issue is a wish.
Madrid? Upon completion of the other thing, you were going to talk more easily to expect.

I recently purchased a Lyric acoustic mic from Things and Things in the UK. After fitting it I plugged it in I noticed distortion in the treble also in the lower register but to a lesser degree. I tried adjusting the presence control in small incriments - this improved things slightly but once chords were strummed only a muddled sound was produced. At some stages it sounds a bit like an octave pedal and detune pedal have been mixed in. I tried repositioning it around the soundboard and even tried in on the back like a Dual source but still distortion.
If you have any advice it would be useful.
A few months ago I fitted an Anthem SL in a 1970's J55 which worked great - clear, warm, woody tone.
Thanks, Alan

A Palm Beach summer tradition has packed its bags and moved to fall. For the past 35 years, the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens' Bon Festival, a favorite for adults and children, thundered in in the late summer months. Sell-out crowds swelled the tranquil gardens, taking in a drum show, strolling the make-shift ennichi street fair and quietly observing the spirits of their lost loved ones as fire-lit lanterns floated along the gardens' pond. At the same time, staff and volunteers hoped for sunny clear skies and a little breeze to cool the sweltering heat. The Bon Festival was great fun but hotter then hot and always at risk of afternoon thunderstorms.
To ease some of these concerns while still honoring the traditions of Japan's obon festival, the Morikami has shifted the annual Bon Festival to the Lantern Festival: In the Spirit of Obon, scheduled for October 19 from 3-8 p.m. It is in the same vein as the Morikami's long-held Bon Festival; all that's changed is the date (and hopefully a more temperate climate).
Obon (or bon) is a traditional Japanese Buddhist festival that honors the spirits of the ancestors. Celebrated for more than 500 years in Japan, obon is tied to the lunar calendar, a three-day stretch when it is believed the spirits of deceased family members and ancestors return to the land of the living. A time of family togetherness and remembrance, obon is marked with visits to ancestral homes where family members clean their ancestor's graves as homage for the past sacrifices that have helped the current generations find their place in the present.
During obon, families gather for festive dances called the bon odori (left), aimed to entertain the visiting the spirits. Accompanied by flutists and drummers, performances grow to a fever pitch, creating a carnival-like atmosphere, with games, entertainment and food all playing a prominent role. The festival culminates with Toro Nagashi, floating paper lanterns (some elaborately decorated, others solemn and simple) that are illuminated and floated down rivers, a symbolic gesture for the spirits returning to the world of the dead. This is usually followed by a fireworks display.
The Lantern Festival will honor this three-day traditional festival in one fun-filled October afternoon from 3-8 p.m. The gardens will transform into a bustling ennichi street fair, complete with authentic Japanese fare, the Kirin Beer Garden for the of-age guests and shopping. The ever-entertaining Taiko drum show by Fushu Daiko will thunder with three performances—3:30 p.m., 5 p.m. and 6:15 p.m. Traditional Japanese folk dancing—bon odori—will take place at 4:15 p.m. and 5:45 p.m., not only offering a glimpse at a tradition 500 years in the making but also beckoning visitors to join in the fun.
Younger festival goers will be entertained by a variety of activities, including mask-making, a Kokeshi ring toss, yoyo balloons, badminton, a bucket toss, a scarecrow throw, a maneki neko toss and a giant tic-tac-toe.
Just after sunset, the lantern floating ceremony—Toro Nagashi—will take place on the Morikami Lake, engulfing the pond in a sea of light. Individual lanterns and shoryobune ships filled with tanzaku slips (messages of remembrance from guests) are lit, acting as a guide for the ancestors' return from the land of the living. To cap the evening of remembrance, a dazzling fireworks display will light up the sky at 7:45 p.m.
- Candlelit lanterns will be on sale for $10. They cannot be purchased in advance but always sell out, so grab yours early in the evening.
- Tanzaku slips for the shoryobune ships cost $1 each.
- The Lantern Festival: In the Spirit of Obon will take place October 19 from 3-8 p.m.
Tickets are available online only—no tickets will be sold at the door.
Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for children. Purchase them here; they are expected to sell out!SOLD OUT!

Dolgan has long been one of my favorites, even though he has written much more infrequently over the last 4-5 years.
The man nicknamed "Sudden" Sam McDowell, and even punched him out in a bar one night. He essentially created "The Dawgs", which has made the Browns millions and millions of dollars over the last 20 years.

So many stories
The typewriters have left the office, and after 45 years of service at The Plain Dealer, it's time for me to go
Friday, October 20, 2006
Plain Dealer reporter
Bob Dolgan
One writer would take a small swig of whiskey before composing his story. My weakness was cigarettes. I could not write without one in my mouth.
After the paper was put to bed, the card games began. One winter night in 1959, Indians General Manager Frank Lane called and said he had just made a trade for Johnny Temple, Cincinnati's All-Star second baseman. We quickly ripped the paper apart. I wrote the story, and the editor put it on the top of Page One. Then we went back to the pinochle game.
We wanted to get the story in before the afternoon papers, the Cleveland Press and the Cleveland News, got it.
I was a proud member of the journalistic profession. I was making $78 a week and working with Gordon Cobbledick, James E. Doyle, Harry Jones, Chuck Heaton and John Dietrich, whom I had been reading all my life.
Being young and romantic, I believed in the fantasy of the great reporter who could write the best story, outdrink and outfight anybody in the bar, and get the most beautiful woman.
My first big story was on Jim Brown in 1957. We were both rookies. He had just tied the NFL record for most rushing yards in a game, 237. There were no radio, TV or small-town newspaper reporters in clubhouses then. I sat on a chair next to Brown, asking him questions. He was always cooperative with the press.
Ted Williams, the great hitter, was the first ballplayer I ever interviewed at the Stadium. That was in 1959. "Why do they always send you new guys to me?" he remarked. It wasn't a very good interview. It wound up with Williams giving me a batting lesson. Today I am a much better reporter. But I was a better writer then.
I succeeded Jones as baseball writer in 1961 and nicknamed Sudden Sam McDowell. In 1964, when I was a Thistledown publicist, I had a fistfight with McDowell. Five years later, a policeman stopped me for a traffic violation. When he looked at my license, he let me go, explaining, "I was in the bar the night you punched out McDowell."
I had a good time on the Indians beat, hanging out with the half dozen or so ballplayers on the team who enjoyed nightlife. I got my share of scoops. The best was when Gene Green quit the team and I located him in his favorite bar, where he excoriated manager Birdie Tebbetts.
I nearly blew the job at my first World Series game in New York in 1961. After an all-night revel, I woke up at noon, the time the game was to start. I panicked and raced to Yankee Stadium, arriving in the fourth inning. Cobbledick, the sports editor who hired me, was sitting next to me. I began sputtering an apology, but he quickly said, "That's all right, Bob. Every baseball writer worth his salt is going to go on a bender once in a while." I had not had a day off since spring training began in February, covering the beat seven days a week.
Later, after I became a sports columnist, Hanford Dixon, the Browns cornerback, was the centerpiece of a good story. I noticed him and Frank Minnifield standing over fallen opponents in a game, bobbing their heads.
I asked Dixon what he and Minnifield were doing. "We're barking," he said, revealing the Browns defensive unit called itself "The Dogs." That led to the Dawg Pound and all those dog masks fans still wear today.
I loved the hurly-burly of the job. Bill Rodgers, the great marathoner, was in Cleveland. I called him at his hotel for an interview, but he said he had to leave to catch a plane. "Stay there," I said. "I'll drive you. I'll be right there." I dashed from my house in my pajamas and picked up Rodgers. I was still interviewing him in pajamas and house slippers as we walked toward his plane.
I often had luck with people who disliked being interviewed, convincing Bill Russell, Steve Carlton, Kirk Gibson, Jim Rice and Eddie Murray to talk. Dave Kingman refused me at first, so I said, "My editor told me I'd be fired if I didn't get an interview with you." He frowned and said, "All right, what do you want to know?" It was the only time I ever pulled that one.
Sportscaster Joe Tait produced the most unusual story. I heard him make a slighting reference to Indians manager Frank Robinson on a talk show. Tait was announcing Indians games at the time. I phoned him, expecting him to dodge the issue. Instead, he lambasted Robinson harder than ever. It was perhaps the only time in baseball history a team announcer knocked a manager. It was a front page story.
In more recent years, I did a lot of nostalgia writing, with many of the stories reprinted in the book, "Heroes, Scamps and Good Guys." I conducted the Glad You Asked feature the last 13 years.
Amid all the hustle and bustle, I have been fired once, demoted twice, won several writing awards and been elected to the Cleveland Press Club Hall of Fame. The guys who fired or demoted me are either dead or gone. I have been at The Plain Dealer 45 years, the last 39 years consecutively. Now it is time to go. Today is my last day at The Plain Dealer. Thanks for everything.

April 7, 2008 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Food Cost Containment Measures Being Implemented May 1, 2008
SUBJECT 2: WIC Operations Manual (WOM) – Revised
SUBJECT 3: No HANDS Help Desk Coverage-April 2008 Meetings
SUBJECT 4: Revised WIC Approved Food List and WIC Supply Request Form
SUBJECT 5: March Caseload
- Food Cost Containment Measures Being Implemented May 1, 2008:
All local WIC providers will be getting a letter explaining the food cost containment measures that Missouri is implementing May 1, 2008 to address increasing food costs and program participation. Our goal is to maintain services to participants and control rising food costs. Food costs have increased 10% and program participation 4% in the past six months. We are committed to maintaining current service levels. In order to do this, we must reduce the cost of food packages through food-item changes. Therefore, the following national brand cereals and national and private label brand juices are being removed from the WIC Approved Food List:
- General Mills Cheerios and Corn Flakes and Kellogg's Corn Flakes
- Quaker Oats 12-ounce Instant Oatmeal
- All Store Brand 46-ounce plastic bottles of juice
- All Dole, Minute Maid, Tropicana and Welch's brands of frozen juice
- All 11.5-ounce Libby's and Welch's brands of shelf stable concentrate juice
Letters explaining the changes along with supporting materials and signs will be sent to vendors and local WIC providers during the week of April 7. We realize that many participants have already received their May checks and you will not see them again until after the May 1 food list changes are implemented. The vendors will be instructed to refer those participants back to their local agency if they have questions. Please contact your TA team with any questions.
- WIC Operations Manual (WOM) – Revised: The new WOM has been completed and is ready for installation. This year, the WOM installation will be done via the web through a link in Crystal Reports. Log into Crystal reports. Then go to WIC Reports - Local Agency, WIC Program Downloads, WIC Operations Manual.
There are three (3) items in this folder: instructions to remove old versions and install new version of the WOM, the WOM verification form, and a link to download the WOM.
A couple of things to remember: the new WOM will not run if previous versions are not removed first. Be sure to complete the WOM verification form and return it to the state office.
For assistance contact Melissa Seaver at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-751-6489 or 800-392-8209. For policy interpretation or questions about policy changes, please contact your district TA team.
- No HANDS Help Desk Coverage-April 2008 Meetings: There will be no HANDS Help Desk coverage on April 23 from 1:00-5:00 and on April 24 from 8:00-3:00 for staff meetings.
If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- Revised WIC Approved Food List and WIC Supply Request Form: The State WIC office shipped the revised WIC Approved Food Lists to all local WIC providers via UPS on April 2, 2008. The effective period for the revised WIC Approved Food Lists (English - green sheets and Spanish - white sheets) is from May 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008.
We encourage you to provide the revised food lists to participants; however, you may also utilize the pictorial food lists by marking out the following discontinued food items:
- General Mills Cheerios and Corn Flakes and Kellogg's Corn Flakes
- Quaker Oats 12-ounce Instant Oatmeal
- All Store Brand 46-ounce plastic bottles of juice
- All Dole, Minute Maid, Tropicana and Welch's brands of frozen juice
- All 11.5-ounce Libby's and Welch's brands of shelf stable concentrate juice
Please use the attached WIC 8 form "WIC Supply Request Form (04/08)" for ordering additional food lists. Both the revised food lists (50 sheets/pad, English - WIC-640 and Spanish - WIC-641, 50 sheets/pad) and pictorial food lists (50/pkt, English 640 and Spanish 641) are available at the DHSS warehouse. If you have any questions, please contact Takako Tagami at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- March Caseload: The month of March showed a slight dip in caseload (to 139,757), perhaps the result of widespread flooding during this month. March '08 caseload showed a 5.97% increase over March '07. Please see the caseload graph. We are continuing to see high demand for WIC services at most agencies. We thank you for your dedication and passion in providing services to those in such great need. Any caseload questions can be directed to your district team or Jim Schinder at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Fly with Canaries in Wales
1pt Norwich to beat Swansea at 15/4 (BetVictor).
1pt draw in Aston Villa v Stoke at 23/10 (Sky Bet).
1pt Jason Puncheon to score at any time v Reading at 7/2 (Coral).
Arsenal v West Brom (1500 GMT)
Arsenal are not the side they once were but their decline has been somewhat exaggerated in recent weeks and this game could come at the right time for them. Arsene Wenger will tell you many of the Gunners' problems stem from a heavy fixture schedule. While some may laugh about tired players at this point of a campaign, there's some truth to it - with Champions League and League Cup runs they've played virtually every midweek so far this season. Wenger therefore opted to rest most of his first team in Germany in the week with the aim to focus on this game. That probably isn't great news for the Baggies, who come into this one on the back of successive defeats. The last time they lost back-to-back games they responded with victory but most unexpected good starts usually go awry at some point and this could well be it. However, backing the hosts at 1/2 here is no bet. The Baggies will have their supporters at 13/2 given what Swansea did at the Emirates last week, but that's not for me either. One to swerve.
Verdict: Arsenal 2 West Brom 1 (AS)
Aston Villa v Stoke (1500)
Stoke claimed their first away win of the season last weekend at West Brom so will go into this one with plenty of confidence. However, midfield lynchpin Charlie Adam is suspended, although the Potters do have Peter Crouch back from injury. Meanwhile, Paul Lambert's men were winners last time out at Villa Park when they edged out Reading and some encouraging results suggest they are an improving outfit. The win over the Royals was, however, just a third win in 20 league games on home turf where their fans have been known to grow restless on occasion. The value here may well lie in the draw. History shows five of the pair's Premier League meetings have ended all-square, including three of four at Villa Park. Eight of those 20 aforementioned games have been draws, while Stoke have drawn four of eight on the road this season. All in all, 23/10 seems a fair price.
Verdict: Aston Villa 1 Stoke 1 (AS)
Southampton v Reading (1500)
I highlighted Jason Puncheon's form in last Saturday's preview. As with many big-priced scorer bets, it's often worth backing them in a string of games rather than just one and that's what I intend to do here. Reading's defence looks ripe for the picking having - how shall we put it? - failed to distinguish itself against Manchester United last week. That was on home soil and a look at their away record shows just two points have been claimed in seven games with 13 goals conceded. Saints have scored in all their home games bar one (back in August) and with Puncheon, a scorer against QPR and a real threat in several other recent games, at 7/2 we can't resist backing him again.
Verdict: Southampton 3 Reading 1 (AS)
Sunderland v Chelsea (1500)
It's back to Premier League action for Chelsea this weekend after their ultimately worthless 6-1 Champions League win in midweek. With Fernando Torres back in the goals, Rafael Benitez must now turn his attention to sorting out the Blues' Premier League form - it's incredible to think they're still third in the table given they haven't won for seven league matches. If they were to handpick opponents this weekend, Sunderland would surely be pretty high on the list, though they at least have won in the league inside the last month - 3-1 victors at Fulham in mid-November. My colleague Nick Hext was bang on the money by flagging up David Luiz to score at 6/1 in midweek and if you want to follow the line of backing Chelsea defenders you can get Luiz at 7/1 and Gary Cahill at 8/1 here. But only one of their last nine Premier League goals has been scored by a defender (John Terry v Liverpool). The 5/6 Blues should justify odds-on quotes, but their form hardly makes it a cast-iron guarantee.
Verdict: Sunderland 0 Chelsea 2 (RK)
Swansea v Norwich (1500)
Swansea grabbed the headlines with their 2-0 win at Arsenal last weekend but it may be the bookies have overreacted to that in pricing up this contest. Boasting a real goalscorer in Michu and having added plenty of other quality with the likes of Pablo Hernandez and Chico Flores, the Swans are a decent side, make no mistake, but here they are up against another with fine form and proving difficult to beat. Norwich are now unbeaten in eight league games - nine in all - with Chris Hughton having shored up their defence in recent weeks. Take out the nine goals conceded in early-season humblings at Chelsea and Fulham and the Canaries have conceded just five times in six away games. Norwich are prepared to put in the hard yards to gain a result - note their last-minute equaliser at Everton and last weekend's ground-out victory over Sunderland. They look a tad big at 19/5 to win at the Liberty Stadium, something they managed last season (they also won the reverse fixture at Carrow Road). In short, it's worth a small play.
Verdict: Swansea 1 Norwich 2 (AS)
Wigan v QPR (1500)
Wigan have conceded 15 goals in eight home games so far, while Gary Caldwell and Maynor Figueroa are both out suspended. Such defensive problems must give QPR hope that they can finally notch their first win of the season. They've at least shown signs of improvement under Harry Redknapp, with both games under his guidance having been drawn. First came their first clean sheet in 24 away games at Sunderland and that was followed by a game they could easily have won at home to Aston Villa. The R's also performed admirably in defeat at Manchester United after Mark Hughes had been sacked. Basically there are plenty of reasons to suggest this could be QPR's day but sadly the price is hardly one to get you salivating. A best of 11/5 is there and I simply can't recommend that when this is a side which hasn't won all season and has not claimed victory away from home since Neil Warnock was in charge.
Verdict: Wigan 1 QPR 1 (AS)

Intel Corp. has announced plans to discontinue its X25-M and X18-M solid-state drives (SSDs) that are based on multi-level cell flash produced using 50nm process technology. The process is rather natural given that the company already ships SSDs powered by 34nm flash chips that are not only more affordable, but also offer higher performance.
Due to migration of Intel X25/X18-M (MLC) SSD technology from 50nm to 34nm, Intel 50nm X25/X18-M SATA SSDs with 80GB and 160GB capacities are being discontinued, the chip giant said.
Orders for 50nm Intel X25/X18-M SATA in 80GB and 160GB capacities will no longer be accepted or cancellable after the 20th of April, 2010. Last shipment date for the first-generation X25-M and X18-M SSDs is August 7th, 2010.
Intel released its first-generation X25-M and X18-M solid-state drives for consumers in August 2008 and started to ship its second-generation X25-M/X18-M in late July 2009. It can be observed that product life for an SSD model on the market is a little more than one year, much shorter than that of mainstream and high-end central processing units.

The question is whether expanding animal rights would protect animals better than stricter animal protection laws.course, it was really meant to shape the behavior of humans and their agencies — in this case, the federal government and its grizzly management policies.
How do we restrain humanity enough to allow the continuing existence of other species?denying that animals are persons. Really? Imagine the puzzling converse: animals denying they are persons by denying that humans are animals! Sooner or later, the language of animal personhood seems to go right through the looking glass. It becomes impossible, for instance, to talk about "animals." They become "nonhuman animals" as a way of reminding us that humans too belong to the grand kingdom of Animalia.

Objectives Osteolysis and subsequent prosthesis loosening is the most common cause for revision following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could reduce osteolysis through its antiresorptive effects. We studied whether HRT use is associated with reduced revision rates in a community-based cohort of women undergoing TKA or THA for osteoarthritis.
Methods Female participants in the General Practice Research Database undergoing a primary TKA or THA from 1986 to 2006 were included. We excluded patients aged <40 years at the date of primary, and those with a history of previous hip fracture or rheumatoid arthritis. Women with at least 6 months of HRT were identified as HRT users. We further explored the associations among HRT use of ≥12 months, adherence (medication possession ratio) and cumulative use and revision risk. Cox models were fitted to model implant survival in years. Propensity score matching was used to control for confounding.
Results We matched 2700 HRT users to 8100 non-users, observed for a median (IQR) of 3.3 (1.5–6.1) years after TKA/THA. HR for HRT ≥6 months was 0.62 (95% CI 0.41 to 0.94), whereas HR for ≥12 months was 0.48 (0.29 to 0.78). Higher adherence and therapy duration were associated with further reductions in revision rates. Preoperative HRT appeared unrelated to implant survival.
Conclusions HRT use is associated with an almost 40% reduction in revision rates after a TKA/THA. These findings require replication in external cohorts and experimental studies.

The Deal: Leveraged Loans Are Being Issued Like It's 2007
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- If happiness is health and a short memory, no wonder the debt markets are so happy.
A healthy economy and a lowered default rate have led to a record issuance of leveraged loans, which hearkens back to the good old or bad old -- depending on perspective -- days of 2007, not long before credit markets seized up.
Through the third quarter of this year, total loan volume is $515 billion, according to a JPMorgan report. That compares to the prior record of 2007, when the total for the entire year was $388 billion.
September alone hit $45.8 billion on the back of two of the biggest leveraged loans ever: Hilton Worldwide Holdings and Dell
Happy debt markets indeed. However, for investors with memories of the great recession, perhaps not so happy. Less than three years after prior record loan volumes hit the books, the default rate on corporate leveraged loans also hit its own all-time high, topping out at around 14% in 2009. This was even higher than the bond default rate, which traditionally had been higher than that for loans.
Coincidentally, the loan default rate hit a three-year high during the third quarter of 2013, climbing to 1.94% from 1.79%, the highest it has been since November 2010 when it was at 2.18%.
While these numbers are still low from a historical perspective, investors would be permitted to worry whether history was about to repeat itself.
But this time may be different, particularly because there has been a big change in leverage ratio.
"I don't think that volume itself is indicative of there being a greater risk of default," says Patrick Ryan, head of the banking and credit practice at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett. "In addition, leverage levels haven't returned to the multiples you were seeing in 2006 and 2007."

ADE outdoor writer places in national contest
MISSOULA, Mont. – Enterprise Outdoors Writer and Saranac Lake resident Mike Lynch has earned an Excellence in Craft award from the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
Lynch was awarded third place in the Family Participation/ Youth Outdoor Education category of the newspaper portion of the contest, which recognizes excellence in communicating the value and enjoyment of family participation and youth education in the outdoors. His winning submission, a column headlined "A life lesson on the water," was published July 28, 2012, in the Enterprise. It was about an incident that took place during a five-day paddling trip from Saranac Lake to Tupper Lake.
During the trip, a group of nine children aged 10 to 14 and three adults, including Lynch, decided against crossing Middle Saranac Lake just before a storm. The decision proved to be the right one, as another group of paddlers had to to be rescued by emergency crews after 12 boats capsized that afternoon. The children in Lynch's group were part of Northern Forest Explorers, a program overseen by the Northern Forest Canoe Trail that gives children the opportunity to explore waterways near their home at a very low rate.
The award will be presented on Sept. 16, the third and final day of the OWAA's annual conference, which will be held in Lake Placid this year.
The Outdoor Writers Association of America is the oldest and largest association of professional outdoor communicators in the United States. It was organized in 1927 by members of the Izaak Walton League of America and includes professional communicators dedicated to sharing the outdoor experience. The association is headquartered in Missoula, Mont. OWAA members include professional writers, photographers, radio and television show hosts, book authors, videographers, lecturers and artists.
