- 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, plus melted butter for brushing the ramekin
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
- 3/4 pound bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 8 large egg yolks
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 large egg whites
- Pinch of kosher salt
- Crème fraîche and chopped roasted pistachios, for serving
Preheat the oven to 425°. Brush eight 6-ounce ramekins with melted butter and dust with cocoa powder. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate with the 1 1/2 sticks of butter at high power in 30-second bursts. Whisk until smooth.
In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until thick. Whisk in the chocolate mixture and flour. In a clean bowl, using a handheld electric mixer, beat the egg whites with the salt at high speed until soft peaks form. Beat one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate batter. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the remaining egg whites until no white streaks remain. Divide the batter among the ramekins, filling them two-thirds full. Arrange the ramekins on a sturdy baking sheet.
Bake the cakes in the center of the oven until the tops and sides are set but the centers are still soft, 15 minutes. Let stand for 30 seconds, then run the tip of a knife around the rims and invert the cakes onto plates. Serve with crème fraîche and pistachios.

I spent much of last week meeting with workers, business leaders, and local elected officials throughout the Second Congressional District. The topic was the same each time: How can private industry put this great nation of ours back to work?
In Portsmouth, I was told that a multibillion-dollar investment could result in a steel manufacturing plant that would employ 2,500 people -- and could lead to the creation of 25,000 related jobs in the region. After discussing details with Scioto County commissioners, business executives, and representatives of the local workforce, I toured the site where the plant would be built.
While President Obama wants to stimulate the economy by spending your tax dollars to create temporary jobs, I believe the proper role of government is to foster confidence among those in the private sector so business leaders aren't afraid to risk investing in job creation.
We can't work our way out of this economic mess through deficit spending that adds to our national debt, and I oppose raising taxes on hard-working Americans.
I believe one of the best ways to help job creators is to reduce or eliminate regulations that hamper their efforts.
During my first Women's CEO Summit at my district office in Cincinnati last week, local business leaders shared with me their concerns and suggestions regarding job creation.
One woman, who teamed up with a friend to start a small business more than 20 years ago, said the venture had been so successful that the two women now employ more than 100 people. But she shared her concern that the president's health-care initiative could place a serious financial strain on the company.
Another woman, who oversees a company with more than 1,500 employees, told me that federal regulations on the financial industry are making it difficult for some businesses to get loans. That makes it tough to expand operations, which would grow the economy and create jobs, I was told.
Also last week, I spoke to about 100 workers at a plant in Clermont County that manufactures equipment used by the U.S. military. Their work product safeguards our fighters in Afghanistan and other hotspots around the globe. A weak economy could ultimately weaken our military, executives at the plant told me.
In Hamilton County, during a tour of a plant with more than 100 workers who make glass-related products, the owner told me he is concerned about President Obama's new budget proposal. The owner also has a small plant in China, and profits from that overseas venture help him reinvest in his local operation, I was told.
Threats of unnecessarily high taxes -- coupled with burdensome new regulations and excessive government spending -- slow economic growth.
These are all serious issues. If we want to get our economy moving again, job creators need to know what the costs of doing business are going to be.
The Number 1 priority needs to be getting America back to work.

Damon Rose, the Jewish Agency for Israel's northern regional director of partnerships, has died.
The British-born Rose died Aug. 29 after a 13-month battle with stomach cancer, Haaretz reported. He was 51.
Rose was instrumental in establishing the Hadera-Iron Partnership with a consortium of 12 Jewish communities from the southeastern United States, including areas in Florida, Tennessee and Mississippi.
"He was a visionary," Andrea Arbel, director of the Jewish Agency's partnerships unit, told Haaretz. "He knew what he wanted to do and where he wanted to go. But unlike other visionaries, he knew how to plan and implement his vision, which is a rare mix."
Rose was 2 years old when his family emigrated from London to Israel. He earned a bachelor's degree from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he studied political science and history, and a master's degree in public administration and policy from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev.
Rose was a longtime resident of the northern Israel town of Kfar Vradim, where he was buried. He is survived by his wife, Leah; two daughters, Orian, 17, and Lital, 20; and by his parents, David and Carole of Haifa. — jta

About a thousand people have gathered at the Cenotaph in Sydney's Martin Place to remember the nation's fallen soldiers, 94 years after the end of World War I.
A minute's silence was observed at 11am on Sunday following the playing of the Last Post by an army bugler and the laying of wreathes.
Official guests included NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, state opposition leader John Robertson, NSW Governor Marie Bashir, federal senator Matt Thistlethwaite representing Prime Minister Julia Gillard and federal opposition frontbencher Malcolm Turnbull.
Also present was Australian Defence Force Corporal Daniel Keighran, who was this month awarded the Victoria Cross for bravery during a firefight in Afghanistan in 2010.
Many in the crowd, including ex-servicemen, tourists and passers-by, wore poppies as a mark of respect.
The ceremony was punctuated by a vice regal salute by the Royal Australian Navy band, an affirmation of the Ode of Remembrance and the singing of the hymn, I Vow to Thee, My Country, by the crowd.
Master of ceremonies John Gatfield paid tribute to the men and women who have died in battle.
"Remembrance Day is to remember the sacrifice of those who died or those who suffered in Australia's cause in all wars and in other conflicts," he said.
Former ADF chief General Peter Cosgrove said Remembrance Day was not about glorifying or eulogising war, but honouring the sacrifices of those who have served the nation in wartime.
"We utter that perpetual phrase, Lest We Forget, for so many reasons," he said.
"We wish not to forget the price of war, Lest We Forget."
In Canberra, defence force chief General David Hurley said Remembrance Day commemorations were very much about the here and now.
We utter that perpetual phrase, Lest We Forget, for so many reasons. We wish not to forget the price of war, Lest We Forget.
Delivering the commemorative address at the national memorial ceremony, General Hurley said current defence personnel understood the sacrifice of those who went before them.
He thanked the families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan for their sacrifices.
''You remind us that today's ceremony is not only about generations past but about our generation, our times and our today,'' he told the crowd of several thousand gathered at the Australian War Memorial.
''The brass plaques inside the memorial may dull, but we know that your memories do not.''
Nine soldiers killed in Afghanistan since October 2011 were added to the roll of honour: Captain Bryce Duffy, Corporal Ashley Birt, Lance Corporal Luke Gavin, Sergeant Blaine Diddams, Lance Corporal Stjepan Milosevic, Private Robert Poate, Sapper James Martin, Private Nathyanael Galagher, and Lance Corporal Marvyn McDonald.
''These men conducted themselves professionally, performed demanding and testing jobs well and represented Australia with pride,'' General Hurley said.
''They have earned their place among their forebears in the roll of honour.''
The men's families were at the ceremony and were among the first to see the new plaque on the roll of honour.
Governor-General Quentin Bryce and Prime Minister Julia Gillard laid wreaths on the Stone of Remembrance and in the Hall of Memory.
Wreaths were also laid by the ACT Chief Minister Katy Gallagher, Speaker Anna Burke, coalition defence spokesman David Johnston, High Court Chief Justice Robert French, defence force leaders, and members of the diplomatic corps.
Later, 102 school children from across Australia placed poppies by the stone to represent the 102,000 Australian servicemen and women who had fallen in war.

TOP STORY>>Firefighters taking heat precautions
By RICK KRON
Leader staff writer
Temperatures topped 90 degrees on 24 days in July, meaning the heat index was in or near triple digits, and the heat wave is expected to continue at least through the week.
The actual temperature broke the century mark six times during July, hitting as high as 104 degrees on July 19, 20 and 21 and setting records on the 19th and 21st.
But despite the heat here and nationwide, area fire departments had no heat-related runs.
Luckily we had no major fires during the month, Jacksonville Fire Chief John Vanderhoof said.
Assistant fire chief Mark Smart, with the Cabot Fire Department, echoed those sentiments. Its been amazing how light our July calls were. Normally were out constantly chasing grass fires, Smart said.
Vanderhoof said his firefighters are prepared for the hot weather. We make sure theres extra ice water on the trucks and we have access to misters. Weve just got to use common sense in weather like this, the chief added.
Smart said his department is limiting the amount of outside work for the firefighters. And when we are on scene, we try to have enough personnel there to rotate in and out.
Jacksonville did have about 200 ambulance runs during July, and several of them were to respond to individuals suffering from possible heat exhaustion on Little Rock Air Force Bases flightline where the heat index exceeded 120 degrees. Overall, weve been real lucky, Vanderhoof said.
Smart said his department has assisted on some heat-related ambulance calls. Nothing serious, thank goodness, he said.
Capt. John Sawyer with the Sherwood Fire Department said his department had no heat-related calls in July. Sherwood, like Jacksonville and Cabot, is carrying ice chest and extra water on the trucks. We are telling firefighters to make sure they hydrate themselves and to keep an eye on each other, Sawyer said.
The hot, dry weather has put Pulaski and Lonoke counties under a burn ban and the National Weather Services long-term forecast calls for drought conditions to continue through October for central and southern Arkansas.
Precipitation in central Arkan-sas is about two inches below normal for the year.
Overall, Julys average high temperature of 94.5 degrees was about two degrees above the long-term average and the rain total was about a half an inch.
July started off with 90-degree plus days, but July Fourth was a comfortable 88 degrees, and temperatures remained in the high 80s through July 7. On July 8, the temperature hit 90 degrees and stayed above 90 degrees through July 22. For most of those 15 days the temperature hover over or near 100 degrees.
On July 29, the temperature soared near 100 degrees again and has been holding steady. Forecasts call for high 90s through the rest of the week. Surprisingly, the wettest day of the month also turned out to be one of the record-setting heat days. On the 21st, when the mercury hit 104 degrees, the local area also had about a half-inch of rain. Area fire chiefs recommend that everyone check on their neighbors, friends and family, especially the elderly and the young during extended periods of hot weather.
Even though there is a fire burn ban on, the fire departments still advise everyone to be careful with cigarettes as a burning or hot cigarette can ignite dry trash and grass along the roadway.
Also check for metal dragging from vehicles as it can cause sparks and start fires.

Thanks, Twist & Shout! Here's how to surreptitiously introduce your kids to vinyl
We all want to raise our kids right, and sometimes that means we hope they'll embrace our beloved traditions, like reading box scores and the Sunday comics, and eating Froot Loops while waiting for the Saturday-morning cartoons to come on. And like hunting through a bin of vinyl records.
Twist & Shout can help you meet at least one of those goals: The East Colfax emporium is hosting a Kids End of Summer Contest with a vinyl-shopping requirement.
See also: - Best Store on Colfax - 2011 - In honor of Record Store Day this Saturday: Ten records we treasure. What's your favorite vinyl?
Your offspring can draw, right? Here's how it works: Bring the kids, ages fifteen and under, to the store, and set them loose in the vintage vinyl. If they pick something out, they'll get a nice 15 percent discount on their purchase and a nice, big paper bag to put it in. Once home, all they have to do is draw something on the bag (preferably while the record spins, though that's not expected).

Vivienne Westwood designed soccer top, 1984 spring-summer collection.
Photo: Supplied
National Gallery of Victoria International, until July 31
Fashion from the 1960s to the 1990s is shown in this small exhibition of clothing from the wardrobes of four collectors. From the sedate and refined designs of Chanel, to the "out there" concepts of World's End (a Vivienne Westwood/Malcolm McLaren collaboration), the personalities of the owners are captured.
The late Mavis Powell of Toorak was an avid admirer of Chanel. Her classic suits, dating from the 1960s to the 1980s, feature the designer's hallmarks: gold buttons, knitted-trim jackets and knee-length skirts. The uniformity of these designs, displayed in a glass case, is only broken with a scarlet-red pleated gown, complete with pleated cape.
An accompanying film, made from a collage of old photos, shows Powell in Paris, Rome and Toorak Road. She is always wearing her Chanel suit, accessorised with the bags, shoes and belts that are also on display. At home she lives amid heavily embellished gilt mirrors and overstuffed lounge suites - a contrast to her streamlined wardrobe.
Sandra Velik's collection is a tribute to Yves Saint Laurent and the fashion of the 1980s and '90s. A highly structured leather blazer (circa 1990) signals a reduction in the size of shoulder pads at the end of the '80s. YSL's three-quarter-length brown suede pants and a blouson top in teal are also on display. While some styles may raise eyebrows, there are others, such as the classic simple black dresses, for which the designer is renowned.
Art dealer Gabrielle Pizzi's wardrobe illustrates some of Yves Saint Laurent's softer silhouettes. His black dress, designed in 1980 and made of viscose rayon, is sublime in its drape and cut. Simply tied at the waist, this dress would still turn heads today. Less subtle is Laurent's black velvet dress with huge, fuchsia puffed sleeves and Christmas-style bow, donated by Patricia Davies. Very 1980s.
While the designs from Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent reflect the lifestyles of three high-society Melbourne women, the designs of Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren (through their label World's End) was the fantasy world of collector Neil Taylor, who grew up in one of Perth's less salubrious suburbs. Working on minimum wages, Taylor lay-byed from Elle Boutique, in Nedlands. His collection includes some of the wildest of the Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren looks of the early 1980s. Pirate-style shirts, heralding the "new romantics", are as inspiring as oversized jackets and pleated skirts from the "Witches" collection, designed to be worn by both sexes.

A local man shot Friday during a confrontation with Killeen police officers remains unchanged, according to KPD officials.
A spokesperson for the department said Monday that the man, whom police have yet to identify, remains in critical condition at Scott & White Hospital in Temple.
The man was shot after Killeen police responded to a report of a suicidal man in the 4500 block of Golden Gate Drive at 11:38 a.m. Friday. When an officer attempted to speak with him, the man charged toward the officer wielding two knives, according to police.
The officer was forced to discharge his weapon, shooting the man. He was immediately transported to Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood after the shooting. He was later transferred to Scott & White.
The officer was placed on administrative leave, per KPD protocol, and his name was not released.
A close friend of the man told the Herald in an interview Friday that the man was a veteran who was struggling with "grief and depression" from not being able to find steady employment.

Keeping them from participating in graduation ceremonies is just wrong IMO. Think of all the work they put in and their parents put in to get them to that point. This is definitely not ok after 13+ years of work to graduate. My kids aren't geniuses. They work hard to get the grades they get. I would be raising hell if they were denied graduation ceremonies over a dance video, no matter how provocative anyone might think it is.

A teenager who almost drowned at Rottnest Island is being flown to Perth for medical attention.
The 15-year-old boy was pulled from the water in Parakeet Bay on Wednesday morning and personnel from a charter vessel took him to the shore.
He was seen to by staff at the Rottnest Island Nursing Post and will be taken by the Royal Flying Doctor Service to Perth.
A spokeswoman for the RFDS said the boy had been found face down in the water but was in a stable condition by the time he reached Jandakot at 11.40am.
The teenager has been taken to Fremantle Hospital.

Ouch – those collisions have done some damage
In both cases, the guard rail has deformed. That's good, because both guardrails have done their jobs and protected the people, equipment or facility structures behind them. On the other hand, you can see that the rail systems have been stressed and bent. One system is rigid steel guard rail and the other is flexible poly guard rail. Let's see how they match up in form, function and lifetime cost.

IT was only the sixth inning and Craig Pearson still had 45 minutes before he was due in the office downtown at the World Trade Center. This was opening day, or opening daybreak, on the big screen, live. The subway and those commodities that Pearson would eventually be trading would just have to wait.
''I'd rather have them play now than late at night,'' said Pearson, 22, and fresh off the train at Penn Station from West Hempstead. ''Now I'll know the result at, what, 9 a.m.?''
Actually, the final out of the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs in Tokyo was recorded at 8:33 yesterday morning, or 3 hours 26 minutes after the New York major league baseball season began under the cover of darkness and when most fans were under the covers.
Then again, this being the mass transit system that never sleeps, Ray Carrington estimated that three to four dozen fans witnessed the historic first pitch of the 21st century minutes after 5 a.m. on the screens in the Long Island Rail Road terminal at Penn Station.
Carrington and his co-workers from the Audio Visual Workshop, Michael Tibbs and Matt Bunn, were not too impressed. He was more interested in saying that he had been up at 1:30, and all set up for the promotion run by the Mets and their broadcast partners, by 3.Continue reading the main story
''I'm not even a Mets fan,'' he said.
By the dozens every minute, commuters rounded the corner, and couldn't help but smile as they trained their eyes on the images being beamed in from a domed stadium affectionately known in Tokyo as the Big Egg.
Most remained in stride, perhaps with visions of more standard-size eggs, with potatoes and toast. Many stretched their commuting time 15 or 20 minutes to have a look. And one Con Edison worker, who shall remain nameless in order to avoid being jobless, said: ''To tell you the truth, I was due out on the street 45 minutes ago. But this is so cool.''
As the Mets will surely survive one dome defeat, the country won't crumble now that opening day in 2000 has been exported to Japan. Among other critics, no less an impact hitter than Mark McGwire has taken the opportunity to chastise the guardians of the national pastime for shredding one of its grandest traditions. The longer McGwire expounded on the subject -- insisting that Our Game ought to remain in Our Country -- the more it sounded like a less strident variation on a certain left-handed reliever's theme. Did McGwire forget that Our Game happens to be played now by several Japanese and packs of Latin Americans, and those countries relish seeing their homegrown stars?
While the Japan Series is primarily in the interest of global growth and a supplementary buck, it is also very likely that more New York baseball fans were literally dreaming of a Subway Series when the previous Mets season ended in Atlanta than when the Cubs' Rick Aguilera retired the side yesterday in the ninth, with the tying run at bat. For schoolchildren typically forgotten during October -- not to mention newspaper columnists forever typing late into the postseason night -- baseball with bagels is practically a concept to die for.
As for the diehards, the time zone that is incompatible with the start of a noteworthy game has not been invented; witness the 4 a.m. line outside the ESPN Zone at Times Square.
Unlike the Penn Station telecast that was open to the sleepy-eyed masses, admittance to the Disney-spawned theme restaurant was determined by contest, in a joint promotion with WFAN. What a coincidence -- a few of the Mets fans greeted at the door by Joe Benigno in his Mike Piazza jersey were Benigno's regular callers from his overnight show.
''Prophet, it's me, Carlos,'' said one caller, recognizing another, by voice.
''Carlos, I heard you tonight,'' Prophet said, embracing the smaller man. ''Nice to meet you.''
Prophet came straight from his night work with his good friend, Lenny from Queens, recently cited by Benigno in a magazine article as the most distinguished caller of all. Lenny, actually a Houston fan, wasn't quite in tears when Mike Hampton, the Mets' opening-day starter who was acquired from the Astros, couldn't find the plate and lasted only through the fifth.
''The three keys are Hampton, who must win 20, Derek Bell and Todd Zeile,'' said Prophet, 51, and a Mets fan from their inception. Twenty-six years ago, he picked Ali over Foreman in Zaire, and the round. Al Goodman was gone. Prophet was born.
Lenny and Prophet took seats at the bar (the taps were wisely turned off) in front of the screen. The rest of the fans settled in. The banter ceased with the first pitch of the pennant race. Television camera crews made the rounds. Before taking a walk down Broadway to Penn Station, Mr. Met -- the identical twin of the Mr. Met in Japan -- took a bow.
Then the Mets fell behind. The festivities were forgotten.
''They're going to have jet lag when they come back,'' Donn Lloyd told his friend, Garvey Austin, who had worked late last night, fallen asleep and come straight from the office.
''Any time they lose this season, it's jet lag,'' he said.
The long and winding season was under way. The Mets were 0-1. On their way out, the fans didn't care about the time of day, and weren't in much of a mood to give it.Continue reading the main story

delias plaid shorts
My friend just bought shorts like these and they look so cute on her. I think I'm going to get myself a pair for this summer. It's finally starting to warm up in NYC!!
I love this in blue.
Perhaps just a base layer for many of us right now, you can blend this radiant tank into your spring, summer and beach attire as the weather warms.
if you're a jeans and a t-shirt girl like me, a jean mini skirt, like this 1970s style one from delias, is a great summer option.
This is a cute summery shirt that moms could still get away with wearing (even though it's from Delia's).
This romper is a great beach cover-up and adorably retro.
This dress is definitely worthy of a sangria party or any other outdoor event you have planned this summer.
Tags: womens clothing, dresses, summer, delias, summer dress, women's apparelAdded 9 Years Ago from dELiAs
I just want to put this dress on and twirl about in a garden of roses and daisies. Anyone with me?
I want these so badly! What a great blue color. I can't wait for summer. Seriously, come already.

It was a return of familiar faces Tuesday night as newly elected members of the Hope City Board of Directors took the oath of office during the first meeting of the year. Willie Walker and Dennis Ramsey were re-elected to the board and were sworn in at the beginning of the meeting by District Court Judge Tony Yocom.
Walker has served on the Board since 1983 and also serves on the Hope Street Committee.
Ramsey has represented Ward 5 on the Board since 1978. He has served as mayor since 1993. Ramsey also serves on the Hope Advertising and Tourism Commission and Hempstead County Economic Development Corporation.
Following the swearing-in of the re-elected board members, the Board went into executive session to discuss the nomination for mayor and vice mayor, which have to be voted on by the Board members following each election. After returning from executive session, the Board voted unanimously to re-elect Dennis Ramsey as mayor and Steve Montgomery as vice mayor.
The board set a public hearing to consider a new taxi franchise in the city for noon on Wednesday, January 16th in the City Hall Board Room. The request for the franchise is from John Caldwell doing business as Downtown Taxi.
The board also heard a report on various projects by City Manager Catherine Cook.
Cook said a lot of work had recently been completed in City Hall, including replacing some carpet and other carpet and chairs being cleaned. She said she's currently trying to find someone to replace the east side doors on the building at an affordable cost.
Cook said that work on the Martindale Clinic is expected to be finished by January 25th. The only thing remaining of the project is some cabinet work. The building has undergone a major renovation to be used by the Christian Charitable Clinic. The project has been funded by grant money.
Cook said the building project for the Loving Arms Daycare is coming along with the building now in the dry.
She said that hopefully the finishing touches to the Amtrak platform can be added in the next couple of weeks. She said two planks had already been attached to the concrete platform with bolts and epoxy to extend the structure to the length required by Union Pacific and Amtrak. However, the epoxy being used requires temperatures of 40 degrees or higher. When the temperature comes back up, the project should be completed.
Cook also gave updates on work being done at Fair Park and the Hope Municipal Airport taxiways.
She said the board may have to schedule a special meeting soon due to Temple Inland being purchased by International Paper that intends to sell it to Georgia Pacific. The City Board would need to be involved because of Industrial Development Revenue Bonds currently issued to Temple Inland that would need to be changed over to Georgia Pacific.
The next meeting of the City Board will be on Wednesday, January 16th at noon in the City Hall Board Room.

THREE cheers for York firm BSC Filters who last night made history at The Press Business Awards at York Racecourse.
The high-tech designers and makers of revolutionary microwave and radio frequency filters in Osbaldwick, scooped The John Guy Memorial Award, the top trophy.
In doing so, BSC Filters became the first firm in the 19-year history of the awards to win the top accolade twice over. Back in 1998 it also clinched the Business Of The Year award.
Cheer number one, from the nearly 300 people who packed the glittering Voltigeur Suite, came with the announcement that BSC Filters had won the Growth Business Of The Year.
Cheer Number two came minutes later when the firm won the Large Business Of The Year.
But the third and loudest cheer came with its overall triumph announced by the presenter, broadcaster Colin Hazelden.
He pointed out that one of the firm's projects was "worthy not just of praise, but of gratitude from the whole nation" as it worked on jamming devices "to reduce the effectiveness of roadside bombs which have taken such a heavy toll on our troops in Afghanistan." Judges were impressed that in the process of designing and making complex microwave filters, diplexers and waveguide coaxial passive components, BSC had adopted "lean" techniques to increase output and margins with minimal increase in staff numbers.
Many of these improvements came about because of the direct involvement of the workforce and a culture of sharing success, and investment in people. The result: It was a world leader in its field, much of it in the defence and aerospace industries.
Steered by managing director Martyn Lee and his 50 employees, turnover this year grew by 51 per cent, from £2.92 million to £4.419 million, while net profits nearly doubled to a projected £1.456 million.
This reflects the fact that the company has captured 80 per cent of the UK market for its products while rapidly expanding into Europe.
This year 40 per cent of total sales were exports.
BSC's victory is all the sweeter because The Press Business Awards 2009, with its theme, Reaching For The Top attracted a record-breaking number of entries in 15 categories – a point noted by the staff who were told the good news at their premises in Jorvik House, Outgang Lane, Osbaldwick, this morning.
Another major triumph last night was earned by Janice Dunphy who held on to last year's Women In Enterprise Award with her Creepy Crawlies Adventure Park at Clifton Moor, York.
Ex-teacher Janice started her acre of fun at Cliftongate Business Park in Wigginton Road in 2004 by researching the best that UK play facilities had to offer.
It now employs 41 people, has seen a growth in turnover, a surge in profit and an increase in footfall.

District 5 - Coal Mine Safety and Health
A Near Miss
On September 11, 1999, a qualified electrician was troubleshooting an inoperative 550 VAC Stamler belt conveyor feeder when he decided to check the control circuit fuses located inside the onboard electrical enclosure. Access to the circuit breaker operating handle was obstructed by linkage. The electrician attempted to open the circuit breaker using a screwdriver. The screwdriver slipped, and the electrician's hand came in contact with energized parts resulting in electrical shock and small burns to two fingers of his right hand. The electrician had taken off the glove for this hand during the troubleshooting process.
Best Practices
- Gloves are required whenever miners troubleshoot or test energized electrical power circuits or electrical equipment.
- Work gloves in good condition are acceptable for troubleshooting or testing energized low- or medium-voltage circuits or equipment.
- No electrical work shall be performed on low-, medium-, or high-voltage distribution circuits or equipment, except by a qualified person.
- All power circuits and electrical equipment shall be de-energized before work is done on such circuits and equipment, except when necessary for troubleshooting or testing.
- Disconnecting devices shall be locked out and suitably tagged by the persons who perform such work (electrical).

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Tourism officials are launching a self-guided driving trail that connects farmland and small towns in nine West Tennessee counties.
The Cotton Junction Trail is being launched Tuesday by the state departments of tourism development and transportation. The trail starts in Memphis and heads east and north along 320 miles of roads through Carroll, Crockett, Fayette, Gibson, Haywood, Madison, Shelby, Tipton and Weakley counties.
Travelers can stop at Brownsville's West Tennessee Delta Heritage Center and see Flagg Grove School, where singer Tina Turner attended grade school; the world's largest tea pot collection in Trenton; and the Casey Jones Home and Railroad Museum in Jackson.
The trail is the 16th in the Discover Tennessee Trails & Byways program. Officials hope that travelers stop and spend money along the way.

Dec 5, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff WriterThe company says the new distribution center on Airport Road is part of a nationwide network expansion effort.
FedEx Ground has moved its Riverton distribution center to a new facility on Airport Road as part of a nationwide network expansion effort.
The office used to be on Freedom Lane.
Allison Houser, a public relations representative from FedEx, said her company chose the new site, 4551 Airport Road, based on its access to major roadways, like U.S. Highway 26.
She said the Riverton location is close to other customer distribution centers in the area, and the local community has a strong workforce for recruiting employees.
"This new facility (will allow) us to continue to meet and exceed customer demands in the region," Houser said in an e-mail.
The steel facility, manufactured by the Metallic Building Company, is 48 feet wide and 118 feet long. It was provided and erected by Sehnert Systems, Inc., a Riverton-based contracting firm.
Jeremy Williams, computer-aided design systems manager for Sehnert, said the facility was designed to handle the mechanical, electrical and ceiling systems incorporated into the interior of the building for collateral loading by FedEx employees.
Framed openings allow for four 18-foot by 16-foot truck bays, one 12-foot by 16-foot truck bay and two 8-foot by 9-foot loading docks. Williams said the spaces can be closed by Raynor commercial sectional doors provided and installed by Freedom Garage Doors, a local company.
He said the facility also was engineered to withstand the "wind, snow and seismic loads encountered in the Riverton area." Several canopy projections protect entrance and loading areas, Williams said, and Sehnert provided a "Simple Saver" high R-value insulation system for the building's walls and roof.
The roof is made of 24-gauge steel sheeting, and the walls are 26-gauge steel sheeting with charcoal-gray, siliconized polyester coating as an exterior finish.
The facility was built with 19-foot eaves and an end-wall built to accommodate future expansion, Williams added.
National effort
Houser said FedEx Ground's nationwide expansion was initiated to boost daily package volume capacity and further enhance the speed and service capabilities of the company's network. Since 2005, FedEx Ground has opened 11 new hubs featuring advanced material-handling systems and has expanded or relocated more than 500 local facilities.
"The network enhancements have resulted in accelerated ground service delivery by one day or more in more than two-thirds of the United States," she said. "With these changes, FedEx Ground is faster to more overall locations, and FedEx Home Delivery is faster to more residential locations than the primary competitor."

In announcing these donations, Jim Minarik, CEO of DEI Holdings, said "For the past 10 years, our Foundation has taken the lead in raising millions of dollars for our beneficiaries including Solutions for Change, the Boys & Girls Clubs, Casa de Amparo, and other fine organizations who help disadvantaged youth. More recently, we have partnered with other like-minded organizations – including the Issa Family Foundation and Datron World Communications – to supplement the continued support of our suppliers, customers, associates and other generous donors and take our charitable giving to new heights." Co-sponsored by the Issa Family Foundation, the 2011 DEI Holdings Charity Gala and Charity Golf Tournament at Torrey Pines raised and distributed more money than ever before. The DEI Gala, organized by volunteers and supported by suppliers and local government and business leaders, was memorable in part for some compelling presentations directly from members of the community whose lives have been changed by the good works of the DEI Foundation's beneficiaries. "We know these are difficult and challenging times," added Minarik. "Because of that, I have never been more proud of those who give so generously. Our fellow North County residents, businesses and philanthropic organizations are working together like never before to help the young people in our local communities." The DEI Holdings Children's Charitable Foundation is already planning next year's events. To support their efforts to help disadvantaged youth, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or call (760) 599-5913.

The Oakland Raiders may say goodbye to their franchise punter this offseason. Shane Lechler, who has punted for the Raiders the last 12 seasons, becomes an unrestricted free agent. If that is the case, the Oakland punting game is in good hand with Marquette King.
King was signed as a undrafted free agent after the 2012 NFL Draft and punted in two games this preseason to rave reviews. While Lechler was rehabbing an injury, King averaged 40.2 yards per punt against the Dallas Cowboys and 49.0 yards per punt against the Arizona Cardinals. In the Cardinals game, King boomed a 71 yard punt. During training camp, the rookie put on a show with long, high punts. He still needs to work on consistently hitting punts squarely, but has the makings to lock the position for years to come. King was placed on injured reserve last season, so the Raiders could continue to use Lechler as the punter and not have to use a roster spot on King. If the Raiders don't resign Lechler, King will be the starter entering the offseason.
Lechler has been one of the greatest punters in the NFL during his 12 year career and he was paid accordingly. He has been named to nine All-Pro teams and seven Pro Bowls. Last season he made 3.8 million dollars in base salary, which would seem like the going rate to resign him. On the other hand, King is scheduled to make 405,000 in 2013. With the Raiders still trying to manage their salary cap situation, money could make the difference in who is punting next year. Lechler ended the 2012 season averaging 47.2 yards per punt. His net average of 39 yards was his lowest in six years. At 36 years of age, Lechler remains a very good punter, but the chances look slim he will use his skills in Oakland next season.

Countryside location, great pool. We were astonished by the beautiful hotel site. It looked like in a fairytale! We had to pay for the towels in the pool area and it was required to buy bathing caps for use in the pool. The breakfast and dinner was good, but the catering staff did not appear extremely motivated.
The hotel staff was extremely helpful, professional and polite. The Masseria is amazingly beautiful and charming and the location is perfect as it's located few kilometers away from any of the Salento's most interesting villages and towns. Unfortunately, our bathroom was quite old (I would say about 20 years...) and the shower had a carton instead of a door. However, both room and bathroom were very clean and tidy. The breakfast was good but not very rich in quantity and quality. We were expecting typical products but a part from the cakes and the pastries, the rest (jams, honey, marmalade, yogurt and juices) were from mass distribution.
Excellent.We were treated very well from the moment we arrived until we left Superb room and surroundings Difficult to find even with GPS,should have sign posts from the town
Masseria Appidé is a beautiful and peaceful hotel in the middle of Salento's wonderful countryside. Excellent position between Otranto, Santa Maria di Leuca and Gallipoli for those who wish to discover the delights of Salento in few days by car. The hotel is so clean that you have to wear a swimming cap in the pool...
Unforgettable experience, altough it is not perfect (what do you expect from a building from the 18th century), the enviremont, the pace, the friendly staff and offcourse the fantastic kitchen blowed any critic away. For us a small paradise!!!!
Stayed 3 nights in August 2010 for an average of 180€/night breakfast included. Very nice modern hotel ideally located in Corigliano d'Otranto in the heart of the Salentino peninsula. 2-stories suites are clean and spacious with a queen bed, a sleeper sofa, a dining table, large closets, a full-sized bathroom with shower. Bar fridge & tv. Free wifi on request. Facilities include a restaurant for breakfast & half-board dinners, a large swimming pool, a magnificent garden, and a horse center. The staff are extremely helpful and speak good English.
The room was spacious,impressive murels on the ceiling. Nice pool area but not many chairs if it had been very busy & no umbrellas. Food very good and staff especially on reception very helpful & informative. Beautiful buildings. As it was isolated, it was disappointing there was no bar/lounge area serving all types of drinks hot & cold drinks & snacks other than crisps during the day & evening. During the day it would have been nice to have a sandwich & latte but there was nothing available. Also nowhere to relax after dinner.
Great location. We used it as our base making several day trips along the coast. Breakfast falls into the fair range especially when compared to other places we stayed at.
Very smart, well designed hotel with lovely sea view from our own balcony. Seemed almost new. Roof terrace we did not use, although we were served breakfast out front at our request No dining, bar a bit perfunctory although staff kind and several establishments nearby. The hotel's own restaurant was closed. Not sure if this was because it was off season or just closed. No upmrket restaurant nearby (that we found)

US coalminer Peabody Energy and steel maker ArcelorMittal have told shareholders in their $4.7 billion takeover target
Production growth forecast by Macarthur's management since 2006 has "failed to materialise" even taking into account the impact of last year's severe weather, the pair said yesterday in their bidder's statement.
Peabody and ArcelorMittal on Monday announced they would take their $15.50 per share cash offer directly to Macarthur shareholders after being unable to reach agreement with the board on a friendly deal.
The offer is worth $15.65 per share to shareholders including a final dividend from the Queensland coal producer of 16¢ per share.
Macarthur's board yesterday reiterated its advice to shareholders to take no action on the offer.
Chief executive
She insisted then she did not consider the Peabody offer as hostile, and said the board would negotiate with the bid group alongside other suitors as it sought a better offer.
The Macarthur board has signalled it wants an offer of at least $18 per share for 90 per cent control of the company in order to recommend it to shareholders.
But in a letter to Macarthur shareholders, Peabody chief executive Gregory Boyce and ArcelorMittal chief financial officer Aditya Mittal said their offer represents "outstanding value" for their shares.
"Quite simply, we believe it offers you greater value than Macarthur has to date been able to deliver," they said in the letter included in the bidder's statement.
The document says Macarthur's share price has under-performed the benchmark resources index by about 30 per cent over the past year.
In response, Macarthur noted that its share price has remained consistently above the offer price since it was formally announced on August 1.
The stock gained 3¢ yesterday to close at $15.78.
Macarthur also pointed out the offer is conditional, needs regulatory approvals and has not been stated as final, leaving open the possibility of it being increased.
Bidding group PEAMCoal already holds 16.61 per cent of Macarthur through ArcelorMittal's existing stake. Macarthur's biggest shareholder, Citic with 24.5 per cent, has yet to reveal its stance on the offer.
The document also highlights development risks at Macarthur's projects and warns that planned expenditure could exceed the miner's cash reserves, requiring it to seek debt funding or new equity.
The bid statement reveals that Peabody has a bridge loan of up to $US2 billion ($1.86 billion) from Bank of America, UBS and Morgan Stanley to help cover its $2.8 billion share of the takeover cost.
Both bidders also have revolving facilities to assist with funding.
PEAMCoal said if it gets full ownership of Macarthur it would examine ways to accelerate development of its projects and use Peabody's expertise to improve efficiency at its mines.

For the latest at-a-glance update each day, bookmark this page.
President George W Bush has begun his final campaign drive ahead of the 7 November polls, with the aim of boosting turnout for embattled candidates in 10 traditionally staunchly Republican states.
In Montana, where Senator Conrad Burns narrowly trails Democratic challenger Jon Tester, and in Denver, Mr Bush focused on attacking the opposition's policy on Iraq. He also warned that Democrats would raise taxes and block the appointment of conservative judges to the Supreme Court.
The next five days will take Mr Bush to Nevada, Missouri, Iowa, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Arkansas, Florida and Texas - all states he won in the 2004 presidential race. His itinerary for the most part avoids key battleground states.
Meanwhile, the Democrats lead in the race for six of the seven most vulnerable Republican-held Senate seats, according to Reuters/Zogby polls released on Thursday.
Democrats in the House have also expanded their advertising efforts into numerous races once thought safe for Republicans. At the same time, the Republicans are hoping to reduce their losses by attacking a handful of seats where the Democrat incumbents look weak.
As for Senator John Kerry's "botched joke" over the Iraq war, political analysts say it may have briefly energised Republicans, but overall has done little harm to the Democrats' prospects. The biggest damage may be to Mr Kerry's own chances of running in the 2008 presidential race.
Spending by candidates in the 2006 mid-terms has jumped by more than a third overall compared to 2004, according to the US Federal Election Commission.
Those standing in the 2006 mid-terms, in both House and Senate, have raised $1.14bn and spent $965.7m in the current two-year period, the commission says, an increase in expenditure of 36% over the comparable period in 2004.
Meanwhile between 18 October and 1 November, national Republican committees report spending $50m to support House and Senate candidates, compared with $38m spent by Democratic Party committees over the same period, according to the Campaign Finance Institute.
This will have eaten into the $18m cash advantage held by the Republicans two weeks earlier, says the institute, a non-partisan research group.
Unusually, the number of competitive House seats has gone up during campaigning, forcing both sides to make "hard decisions" over the final days as they prioritise resources, the institute report adds.
Both the Republican and Democratic parties are set to spend still more, with millions of dollars pouring into last-minute television advertising.
On Wednesday alone, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spent $12.4m on advertising in 36 districts, while the National Republican Congressional Committee spent $5.9m in 17 districts, a report in the Washington Post says.
Democratic challengers lead the Senate incumbents in Ohio, Missouri, Montana, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, the latest Reuters/Zogby polls suggest, although only in the last two is the gap outside the margin of error. Missouri continues to be the closest of races.
In Connecticut, Senator Joseph Lieberman - running as an independent after he lost the Democratic primary - maintains a lead over anti-war Democratic challenger Ned Lamont, polls suggest.
Republican Michael Steele appears to be closing the gap on Democratic rival Paul Cardin in the race to replace Maryland's retiring Democratic senator, surprising some observers.
As many as three dozen House races remain competitive to the end, with the Republicans fighting to hold on to seats in states including Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. Republican morale has been boosted by an apparent upturn in districts affected by the Mark Foley and Tom DeLay scandals.

We ran into the seat confusion and had to reorder our car because of it. The standard seats included are in fact manual, lever and pull systems. In order to get them power you MUST purchase the ~1000 power seat and memory. Rather irritating from BMW.
Standard long ways "matte black" roof racks are included (changing the color is a charge with different models) but to place bikes on them you must buy some kind of system. BMW sells them and they were reasonably priced. They look like this info:
. You could always make them apart of your purchase agreement... "throw in the bike rails and you have a deal". Then there is always this thread that talks about the rear mount bike rack...
If the college grad thing is like the loyalty program you MUST finance through BMWFS to get the discount. Read the fine print on the info page. I would assume paying in cash makes it invalid as BMWUSA reimburses the dealer for those type of rebates.
This is my first new car buying experience too and its been uber stressful. I know exactly how you feel!
Hope this helped some. Oh and when in doubt, check out the BMW "download standard/options" PDF located on the right side of the options on the specs page:
Oh the repair front. If you buy it you get the standard 4year/50k everything covered maintenance and warranty. So you wont have to fix anything. I've got a 13 year old 323i that has been an awesome car. It has had a few smaller things needing repair in the last few years but now its coming up on needing some major work so its time to buy a new one. Not bad for a 13 year old. Keep in mind anything out of warranty will be more expensive than a non-luxary car though. Most repairs hit at least 1k whereas our ford just has major work done and only cost 400.
Edit: I pulled up the college grad info and it specifically states you must lease or finance.
If you have enough to pay it all, maybe you can finance less than 10k or something to get the discount and then pay it right off.

Workshops Target Safety At Stone, Sand and Gravel Mines
Free "Spring Thaw" Safety Seminars Set in Multiple States
ARLINGTON, Va. - The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), in cooperation with the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association, will present more than 30 cooperative mine safety and health workshops around the nation to increase awareness of mining hazards. Safety professionals from mining companies as well as MSHA personnel will share information and experiences in dealing with mining hazards.
"MSHA is using all the tools provided in the law - enforcement, education and training and technical assistance - to encourage all mine operators to embrace safety as a value so we can send every miner home safe and healthy at the end of every working shift," said Dave D. Lauriski, assistant secretary of labor for mine safety and health. "As part of this process, we are working closely with the stone, sand and gravel industry to develop seminars providing up-to-date and practical information to help mine operators achieve the next level of safety performance."
The workshops will focus on effective safety and health programs, safe maintenance and repair activities, and the hidden costs of mining accidents. Seminar leaders will also discuss specific safety hazards encountered by mining operations in particular regions of the country.
The seminars will coincide with winter's end, when many intermittently operated mining operations begin producing again, often with new employees who are new to the mining environment. Statistics show that accidents in stone, sand and gravel mines tend to increase during April and May.
The MSHA-NSSGA workshops will be held in more than 30 states nationwide. A list of seminar dates and locations is attached. Starting times vary by location. Please check with the listed contact to verify information. There is no charge to attend the seminars.
For additional information, visit MSHA's web site at www.msha.gov.
