JAMIE OLIVER is taking fast food to a new level.
The chef, who had a huge hit with Jamie's 30-Minute Meals on Channel 4, will
now knock up dinners in HALF that time.
Jamie's 15-Minute Meals will air daily in a daytime slot in the autumn,
"pushing the concept of fast, nutritious, everyday food to the next level".
A C4 spokesman said: "Each half-hour episode will offer two 15-minute meals
back to back."
Meanwhile Jamie, who tweeted a picture yesterday of a "pimped Victoria sponge"
said he had "lost faith" in the Government to raise nutrition standards in
He has been at loggerheads with education secretary Michael Gove over the
failure to extend healthy food regulations to new academies.
Jamie said: "I don't think one man has the right to take away something that
would help prolong lives."

Anybody expecting to get some hint of resolution to the redistricting battle raging here in Texas following oral arguments over the issue today before the U.S. Supreme Court is probably disappointed, as it seems the justices want to see the Texas primary elections, already postponed from March to April 3, pushed back to an even later date.
According Associated Press legal affairs reporter Mark Sherman (as quoted on the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's blog, PoliTex), "The justices discussed moving the primary date back further to give the courts handling different aspects of the case more time. 'Why can't this all be pushed back, and wouldn't that eliminate a lot of the problems we are grappling with in this case?' Justice Samuel Alito asked."
And TheHill.com indicates that justices were not happy with either the map drawn last year by the GOP-controlled Texas Legislature or with the interim map drawn last month by federal judges in San Antonio, quoting Chief Justice John Roberts as saying during today's hearing, "How do you decide between two wrong choices?"
TheHill.com also said, "Most justices indicated they thought both maps were unacceptable and could not be put into law without violating the Voting Rights Act."
The Legislature's map favors Republicans, especially in Tarrant County where Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis saw her district taken away, with portions of it allocated to more Republican-leaning areas north and south of Fort Worth.

Samsung 27inch Screen (S27A350H)
Buy Now...
click image to enlarge
The screen is 64.5x39x2.5cm. The base it stands on is oval at 28.5x23cm and it raises the screen by 9cm from your desk.
The screen has a few degrees of forward movement and around 15degrees of backward tilt, there is no side to side movement.
The viewable area of the screen is 60x33cm giving the diagonal imperial measurement of 27inches.
I used this attached to several PC's of varying vintages running XP, Vista and Windows 7 at up to 1920x1080 and all worked correctly. These included a Netbook whose native resolution is 1024x600 but output is possible at the full HDMI resolution and for anyone carrying a Netbook around this looks great when working fixed.
On the rear there are three connections, VGA, HDMI and the DC current input all in a single line and all accessible.
The support arm is a better design than a lot of others for those who need to move the unit about as the link is in the arm itself. So no screwing it into the unit a small part of the arm is attached to the panel and the connection is made there.
The front right below the screen has five touch buttons to control the unit, the rightmost one –on/off- is probably the only one most will need. However as always I tested all the others and they did what they should, there was plenty of extra brightness and contrast available but I always returned to using the 'Auto' setting.
Unless you are very short sighted a 27inch panel to show a standard Windows screen is rather over the top. In a word processor you can happily display two pages and using a spreadsheet does allow a lot of cells to be shown.
Of course most will use it to watch DVD's and Blu-ray movies powered by your PC or notebook and here it excels my sofa got good use watching more than was strictly required to test the capabilities of this panel to the full.
As a test I used my 32inch TV to display the same movie and while this was a little further away the results were more vivid and watchable on this Samsung panel. I especially found more sharpness and clarity in darker sequences.
Not having internal speakers means that you need to use those of your PC/notebook when viewing but the slimness of the panels housing really make their inclusion impossible. I remember my first 17inch monitor (remember this panel is 27inches) and if you picked that up you certainly had somewhere cleared nearby to put it down again very quickly. I know the technology is vastly difference but size can now come without weight.
If you want to know about Mega Dynamic Contrast Ratio that gives the clarity and depth of image even on things like static Windows desktop images then may I suggest that the Samsung link (2nd link) is where to look. You can also make yourself feel good when you take control of your energy saving possible with this panel.
The Samsung S27A350H LED panel is available for £279.94 including delivery from the first link below.

The Ethics Across the Curriculum (EAC) program at Young Harris College has developed, in part, in response to the interests of the faculty. One motivation for the program is a felt need for a bridge between students' academic lives and their spiritual lives and student development programs. If students learn the tools to talk meaningfully about values and morality in the classroom, they may be better able to articulate and act according to those values in those areas of their lives that are most meaningful.
Find out how to participate in EAC and check out some examples from past participants in the program listed below. If you would like to participate in the program, please fill out an interest form.
participant examples
- ENGL 1102 – Composition and Literature
- EDUC 2220 – Introduction to Exceptional Education
- COMM 1100 – Introduction to Public Speaking
Evaluating EAC Courses
After participating in the EAC program, please return an evaluation form to Dr. Jamie Watson, Coordinator of the Ethics Across the Curriculum program, within one month of the last day of classes.

Morgan Stanley has upgraded
The broker is also feeling more confident about the sustainability of the company's cash flow and notes that its capital expenditure profile is declining as the roll-out rate of new medical centres is slowing.
Further, the stock is trading at a 46 per cent discount to book value and Morgan Stanley thinks this is excessive. While the company's forecast return on invested capital is below its weighted average cost of capital, the broker estimates that a 31 per cent discount to book value would be enough to lift ROIC by 2 percentage points over WACC.

EUV metrology R&D doesn't add up
1 Comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The numbers for the development of future EUV mask and metrology tools are too costly and do not add up, according to experts at the SPIE Advanced Lithography event here.
As reported, chip-making consortium Sematech has recently launched a consortium to develop metrology tools for detecting defects in advanced masks needed for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. Producing prototypes of these EUV metrology tools is expected to cost an estimated $200 million or more.
The problem is that there are no viable EUV metrology tools in the market today. If you can't inspect EUV-enabled masks--which must be defect free--EUV will not succeed in the market.
Current machines are not sensitive enough to detect defects in EUV masks. So many believe the industry must develop actinic-based tools, which have an equivalent 13-nm wavelength as EUV. This is a costly and monumental effort.
''The problem has been known for a long time,'' said Kurt Ronse, director of the lithography department at IMEC, an R&D organization, but the issue has been a ''chicken and egg'' situation.
The industry was looking for the metrology tool makers--such as Applied Materials, KLA-Tencor and others--to foot the bill and develop EUV machines. But on the other hand, the tool makers have been slow to devise these types of machines.
This is due to the associated costs involved and lack of return-on-investment, said Chris Mack, a consultant and gentlemen scientist. All told, it could take ''four years'' before the EUV metrology tools are ready, Mack said.
This implies EUV could be delayed again--or not happen at all. This is not a surprise to most lithographers, but EUV lithography is delayed--again. EUV is now targeted for chip production at the 16-nm half-pitch node.
Here's more bad news: Now, the industry faces dreaded double-patterning or some variation of the technology. Double-patterning adds cost and complexity to chip production.
There was some hope that EUV would be ready for the latter part of the 22-nm half-pitch node, which is slated for the 2011 timeframe. But once again, EUV has been delayed due to lack of power sources, resists, defect-free masks and metrology tools.
Regarding the metrology tools, the numbers do not add up. It could take up to $100 million (or more) to devise an actinic-based metrology tool. That's for the R&D alone, according to one expert.
The bill-of-material costs are around $5-to-$10 million. What's more, there are few customers for EUV metrology: Only six or so chip makers--if that--will buy EUV scanners in the first place.
So, a tool maker must charge a premium: Some believe that a tool maker must charge $40 million or more for a single machine.
That does not include the EUV scanner itself, which could go for $100 million per system if or when they appear. Others are throwing out numbers like $130 million for a EUV scanner.

Former US President Bill Clinton has spoken out about his love of political drama House of Cards.
Lead actor and executive producer of the Netflix series, Kevin Spacey told Bloomberg's Charlie Rose this week that Clinton, like the rest of the first world, 'binge watched' the show, which is set in and around the White House.
"I love that show. It's so good. We watched it over three days it was so good," Clinton reportedly told Spacey, who plays House Majority Whip Francis Underwood.
"It's very interesting how people in real politics are responding. Privately they're saying it's closer than anyone has ever filmed before. Publicly, they're probably not saying that," he added.
"What I think people might enjoy about Francis as a character is that he has no allegiances. He has no allegiance to party, it's not about Democrats or Republicans or ideology or passion, it's about opportunity to move forward."
Spacey said Republican John McCain is the only US senator who has shown any real life House of Cards type traits, due to his "extraordinary ability to be a sane and reasonable voice."
Following its resounding critical and commercial success, House of Cards is now in the running to take home nine Emmy awards.
It is the first "streaming" series which has ever been nominated for a major industry award.
"By putting out the entire season at once, we're showing that we've learned the lessons that the music industry didn't learn.
"Give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price and they'll buy it and they won't necessarily steal it. I think you can take a bite out of piracy.
"Why is Game of Thrones the most pirated show in the history of television? Because people can't get it fast enough," Spacey said.
Season two of House of Cards is expected to be launched in early 2014.

When researchers at MIT get into the skin care game, you can feel confident that it will be a step above that goop you wasted money on while watching an informercial at 3 a.m.
This "second skin" material can tighten skin, smooth out wrinkles, protect wounds and perhaps even deliver drugs to help combat skin conditions. MIT notes:
The XPL [cross-linked polymer layer] is currently delivered in a two-step process. First, polysiloxane components are applied to the skin, followed by a platinum catalyst that induces the polymer to form a strong cross-linked film that remains on the skin for up to 24 hours. This catalyst has to be added after the polymer is applied because after this step the material becomes too stiff to spread. Both layers are applied as creams or ointments, and once spread onto the skin, XPL becomes essentially invisible.
Living Proof, the manufacturing company behind the cream, plans to refine the product and bring it to market sometime in the near future.

shareholder with less than a marketable parcel of shares (i.e. $500 worth of
shares) in the Company and advise of the Company's intention to sell the
shareholder's shares in accordance with the procedure in the Company's
constitution (the "Procedure"). The Procedure permits the Company to sell a
non-marketable parcel unless the shareholder who holds such a parcel either
elects to remain a shareholder of the Company or increases the shareholder's
holding of shares to at least a marketable parcel. The proceeds from any sale
under the Procedure will be paid to the relevant shareholder as the shareholder
Mehdiabad Project Update
The Mehdiabad Zinc-Silver-Lead deposit is currently the largest undeveloped
Zinc resource in the world with a current estimated resource (at a cut off
grade of 2% zinc) of 362 million tonnes at 4.2% Zn, 1.6% Pb and 35g/t silver of
Measured and Indicated Resources, and 32 million tonnes of Inferred Resources
at 4.5% Zn, 1.4% Pb and 38g/t silver; totaling 394 million tones of ore at 4.2%
zinc, 1.6% lead and 36 g/t silver (This is a summary of information relating to
the resource contained in the Company's JORC Code-compliant announcement to ASX
and the London Stock Exchange dated 4 April 2006).The Mehdiabad
Zinc-Silver-Lead Project ("the Project") is carried on by Union, the Iranian
government body, Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation
Organisation ("IMIDRO") and Iranian company Itok GmbH through an incorporated
Iranian joint venture company, Mehdiabad Zinc Company ("MZC").
As originally reported late last year, IMIDRO has purported to terminate
several agreements governing the Project. Union stated then, and is still
firmly of the opinion, that the agreements were invalidly terminated. Union
representatives have spent the last several months in negotiation with IMIDRO,
and the Company is now starting to make progress in its negotiations. Union has
developed a timetable for the renegotiation or reinstatement of the agreements
which would allow for the matter to be resolved in the third quarter of this
calendar year. Union remains firmly committed to the development of the
world-class Mehdiabad deposit. Should the negotiations be unsuccessful there is
a strong possibility that Union will be involved in a lengthy arbitration
process, which would not be in the best interests of any party.
In the meantime, Union has continued to position itself for the development
phase of the Project. Union's consultant, Aker Kvaerner Australia Pty Ltd
("Aker Kvaerner") has completed a technical and economic study of the Project.
Aker Kvaerner has stated that the Project is now considered to meet Aker
Kvaerner's standard for a feasibility study, subject only to receipt of
necessary water rights and environmental clearances, the grant of the
Exploitation Licence, and an indication of commitment to the Project from the
Iranian Government. Aker Kvaerner's view is that upon resolution of these
matters the Project (at an optimal production level of 200,000 tpa zinc metal)
will be ready to move to the next stage of development. This will involve a
Definitive Study to confirm the process details, Invitation to Bid and Front
End Engineering and Design, followed by the appointment of an EPCM contractor
for the project. Union's joint venture partners in MZC are currently addressing
the issues of water and environmental clearances. However, the granting of the
Exploitation Licence continues to be an issue of contention.
Union has continued technical work on the Project and is evaluating novel
process improvements which have the potential to produce better recovery and
reduce the capital costs of processing oxide deposits. The testing is currently
being completed and is showing very promising results. This technical work will
slow until the remaining issues currently preventing the development of the
Project have been settled. In addition, at the request of the MZC Board, Union
has commissioned an Iranian engineering company, Aseh Sanat to provide
confirmation of the standard of the Aker Kvaerner report and to provide a
confirmatory market study for zinc. Once this is completed Union believes the
Project Feasibility Study should be accepted as complete by the MZC Board.
In anticipation of the development phase of the Project Union's Board has
recently appointed a new Managing Director, Dr. Frank Reid. Dr. Reid possesses
considerable experience in the development of large mining resource projects in
the Middle East, and has been well received by Union's Iranian partners and
Iranian government companies. Dr. Reid has already spent considerable time in
Iran since his appointment, and it is proposed that Dr. Reid will be based in
the Middle East in the longer term. Continuity for the Project will be
maintained through the Company's former Managing Director, Robert Murdoch
remaining on the Board of Union in a non-executive capacity.
Yours Faithfully

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her debut in Tamil films in Iruvar way back in 1997. The actress earned a good name for herself in the Mani Ratnam's movie. It was noticed by maverick filmmaker Shankar and cast her in Prashanth starrer movie Jeans, which made the actress a popular name in Kollywood. Her real journey begun with this movie, as she started getting good offers from Bollywood.
The actress returned to Tamil with Kandukondain Kandukondain, which starred Ajith Kumar and Mammootty in the leads, in the year 2000. But for the next 10 years, she kept herself busy in the Bollywood, as she could not even do a single movie. As she rose to fame in Hindi films, she turned choosy and she did not come across a perfect script for her return to Kollywood.
Which Is The Best Tamil Movie Of 2013? Cast Your Vote
Her comeback to Tamil movie was bilingual Raavanan, which starred Vikram in the lead role in Tamil version. Her re-entry movie directed by none other than Mani Ratnam bombed at the Box Office. In the same year (2010), she was seen in Rajinikanth's science-fiction movie Endhiran - The Robot and it became a blockbuster. Now, she is reportedly making her comeback again. Continue reading the story on the slideshow...
Aishwarya In Jeans 2?
According to reports, Aishwaraya Rai is likely to make her comeback with Jeans 2 starring Prashanth.
Aishwarya Rai Approached
Rumour mills say that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been approached by Prashanth's father, Thiagarajan to act opposite his son in the sequel too.
Has Aishwarya Rai Accepted The Offer?
Has Aishwarya Rai accepted the offer? Will she return to Tamil movie with Jeans 2? We have to wait some more time to know the answers.
But let us not forget that her combination with Prashanth had worked big time and they would make a good jodi again.

Meira posted the results on Facebook and, as you can see, all it took was a sensitively performed cello version of 'Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star' to send little Benjamin off to sleep.

TULSA, Okla. - An Oklahoma police officer has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder in the off-duty shooting death of his daughter's boyfriend.
The Tulsa court entered the plea Tuesday at 54-year-old Shannon Kepler's arraignment and set a preliminary hearing for Oct. 22. The suspect's wife and fellow officer, Gina Kepler, was in court to support him, reports CBS affiliate KOTV.
Kepler, a 24-year veteran of the Tulsa police force, was charged Monday in the Aug. 5 death of 19-year-old Jeremey Lake. According to KOTV, Lake and the Keplers' 18-year-old daughter Lisa were walking in front of the victim's home on the night in question. Lisa said her parents pulled up in an SUV and that her father shot Lake dead at close range. Police said the SUV was found at a Motel 6 three days later and towed as evidence.
The suspect is also charged with one count of shooting with intent to kill because prosecutors say he shot at his daughter during the alleged confrontation in which Lake was killed. Kepler's attorney, Richard O'Carroll, said his client hasn't done anything wrong.
"There is not one credible eyewitness at the scene," O'Carroll said, according to the station. "This is all about politics, and it's ugly."
Gina Kepler has not been charged because prosecutors said there wasn't evidence "at this time" to support a charge. She had been arrested on a complaint of being an accessory after the fact of murder.

Minnesota Drops Fight Against Gambling Sites
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) has abandoned its effort to force local Internet service providers to block gambling Web sites.
John Willems, director of the department's Alcohol and Gambling Enforcement Division (AGED), will withdraw the letters he sent in April to 11 ISPs including Comcast, Verizon Wireless, and AT&T.
The letters included a list of 200 gambling sites Willems wanted the ISPs to block, though Willems said that list could eventually include thousands of sites.
The move comes after the Interactive Media & Gaming Association, Inc (iMEGA) sued the department on May 6 for declaratory and injunctive relief, citing their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights. Several of the sites mentioned in Willems' notices are member companies of iMEGA.
"Available technologies do not permit the ISPs that received [Willems'] notices, all of which are located outside Minnesota, to block Minnesotans' access to particular sites without also blocking the access of ISP subscribers in other states, over whom the defendant has no authority," iMEGA wrote in its suit.
After iMEGA sued Willems, lawyers for the two parties entered into discussions, and iMEGA agreed to drop its suit if Willems withdrew his letters to the ISPs and promised not to send out similar letters in the future.
Willems "has addressed the immediate threat of harm to iMEGA's interests and [iMEGA] further has concluded that it is not necessary to continue to pursue this litigation at this time," according to a Monday filing.
"I believe it may be more appropriate to resolve this problem by working to create clear and effective governmental policies concerning regulation of gambling," Willems wrote in a letter to the ISPs.
"We're very happy with the outcome," Joe Brennan Jr., iMEGA chairman, said in a statement. "It was clear the public opposed this, and the swift negotiated settlement by DPS and AGED demonstrates both the merit of our suit and the shaky legal ground that the original 'black list' were based."
"To their credit, the officials from attorney-general's office, DPS and Mr. Willems have been reasonable and professional throughout this process," Brennan said.

Optimism is beginning to spread around the Pittsburgh Penguins' locker room that captain Sidney Crosby might be ready to make his return before the playoffs begin next month. The 24-year-old former MVP took part in his first full-contact practice on Tuesday, almost three months after he began to experience concussion-like symptoms following a loss to the Boston Bruins on Dec. 5. It's still unclear when we could see him in the Pittsburgh lineup as things can change on a daily basis.
Crosby spent more than an hour on the ice at Consol Energy Center and looked good but is still cautious about speeding up his recovery and has not given a timetable for a possible return.
"It's a good step," Crosby said. "Hopefully, I can keep the momentum and get out there soon. No sooner than Sunday I would say but I'm not going to sit here and put a date on it. It would be total guesswork."
Over the last 14 months Crosby has battled headaches and motion sickness periodically, thanks to a hit to the head from Dave Steckel of the Washington Capitals during the 2011 NHL Winter Classic at Heinz Field. It took nearly 10 months for Crosby to shake the symptoms and when he returned last November against the New York Islanders, it looked like he didn't miss a beat. He scored two goals and went on to tally 12 points in eight games before his symptoms returned. Then doctors discovered a previously undiagnosed soft tissue injury in his neck during a test in January. It was just one more hurdle that he had to overcome and insists that the shots he took as a form of treatment have yielded positive results.
In Crosby's absence, the team has turned to potential MVP candidate Evgeni Malkin, who has helped lead the Penguins on a two month hot streak that has Pittsburgh closing in on the division lead – trailing the New York Rangers by eight points. Malkin currently leads the NHL in points with 81and his 38 goals are currently second most. But just imagine how good the Penguins could be if Crosby was able to shake his symptoms and return without any rust.
And he's certainly trying to get back to competing in games.
Over the last few weeks Crosby has been pushing his limits during non-contact drills and conditioning, however nothing is the same as competing in an actual game. Whether he makes it back into the Penguins' lineup before the end of the season is still anyone's guess but the fact that he is feeling better – especially with the troubles over the last 14 months – is certainly good news.

Australia is yet to learn where and when its temporary tent facility for refugees on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island can be constructed of bricks and mortar.
Manus Governor Charlie Benjamin says he has also been left in the dark about construction contracts and a proposed aid package for reviving the Howard-era arrangement, despite being told to expect the first boatload of arrivals by the end of next week.
Adding to the confusion, Australian Defence Force personnel have been preparing the island's previous site for use, on Lombrum Naval base, which was run down following its abandonment in 2004.
The Australian High Commission in Port Moresby issued a lengthy statement outlining its processing centre plans on Wednesday.
It said the Australian and PNG governments had reached an agreement for a temporary facility on the island. However, advice on where a permanent centre could be built still wasn't forthcoming.
"The Australian government is yet to be advised of the preferred location of the site for the permanent facility on Manus," the statement said.
"Once the site is agreed, an experienced contractor will be appointed to build the facility, consistent with the consultative terms of the Memorandum of Understanding signed by both governments on the establishment of the Regional Processing Centre."
The statement also said arrangements to secure materials and labour for the project were also subject to change.
"Due to the imperative to have the site ready for operation, much of the early procurement of equipment has been undertaken in Australia or Port Moresby ... this is not necessarily indicative of long-term procurement arrangements. There is a definite preference for purchasing locally.
The two governments have agreed to send a joint party to meet with Manus officials in a bid to gain a better understanding of community needs.
Meanwhile, Mr Benjamin has labelled the attitude of Australian officials arrogant after local negotiators were left feeling dictated to at a meeting in Brisbane last week.
"We have no problem with Australian companies being considered, because you want a job you would be satisfied with, but we have tried our best to be involved in this but they have not even consulted us," he said.
"It is arrogance."
Local MP Ronnie Knight says there is growing anger among landowners on the small pacific island.
"There has been a lot of alarm, confusion and anger over this issue by Manusians," he said via text message on Wednesday.
"Apart from the basic agreement, (my) office has not been included in discussions with the so-called committee.
"We do not want (security firms) G4s and Eurest and all those multinationals to benefit what we expected to get.
"We want first option on all contracts. If we need additional offshore contractors let the local umbrella company engage them."
The Australian High Commission said all service providers had been briefed on the preference to engage local contractors where "capability exists" on the island of about 65,000 people.
Spokesperson for one of the landowner groups, Mary Handen, says she and other traditional landowners haven't been consulted by the two governments and want $45 million in aid and building contracts in return for use of land.
"If the two governments are not going to get us involved as key stake holders, then what difference does (the facility) make for us," she said.
"They might as well have the asylum processing centre in Australia."

The Office Recap "Lotto"
The Office, "Lotto": Best Lines of the Night
On this week's episode of The Office, the Dunder Mifflin warehouse crew wins the lottery and promptly quits their jobs. This leaves the office seriously understaffed, unsure of how to proceed, and daydreaming about what they'd each do with a small fortune. For me, the episode was a beautiful blend of The Office I've loved in the past and have missed so far this season: equal parts silly hijinks and heartfelt character development.
Without a doubt, Kevin and Erin's interactions as replacement warehouse workers are some of the funniest moments of the season thus far. And while Andy is still dealing with the pressures and responsibilities that come with his new title of regional manager, Darryl really steals the show tonight. He's one of my favorite characters, and is, in my opinion, underutilized. As a former warehouse guy, Darryl starts off the episode pretty depressed about missing out on the lottery win, but he makes a shift in his thinking and comes out on top. To find out some of my favorite lines from the Dunder Mifflin employees, just keep reading.
- "I know what you'd do with all that money. 'Hey Pam, let's buy expensive bathrobes and hug.'"— Dwight, on what he thinks Jim would do after winning the lottery
- "I've never been lucky and I'm not talking about the lottery. I'm talking about developing a soy allergy at 35." — Darryl, on having terrible luck in life
- "I think I would keep working, and for my salary I guess I'd take like a dollar a year. I mean obviously I wouldn't come in until noon and I wouldn't do anything that I didn't want to do. I mean I'm getting paid a dollar a year, OK? You can chill." — Kelly, on what she would do is she won the lottery
- "We're looking at least one suicide and one weird sex thing." — Meredith, on what will happen now that the warehouse crew has won so much dough
- "Does anyone get distracted easily by bubble wrap?" — Andy, trying to interview new warehouse crew candidates
- "My future isn't going to be determined by seven little white lotto balls. It's going to be determined by two big black balls. I control my destiny. I do." — Darryl, changing his attitude and taking control of his fate
What did you think of tonight's episode? Are you as happy as I am that we got lots of face time with Darryl? Share your thoughts in the comments!

The Farm-Day 4
A surprise
When we think of The Farm most of us think of Ina May. Even if you have read Spiritual Midwifery and have met the other midwives we don't always remember their names. After this trip I know that I will never forget Pamela Hunt. She was on the original caravan with Ina May and Stephen-she was one of the original midwives. She is the epitome of everything you would imagine a midwife to be-sweet, compassionate, funny, intelligent, knowledgeable, skilled, excellent teacher, otherworldly and let's face it the woman loves to break into song.
For each of the evening classes where Pam was present we sang. The first night I actually had to hold back tears I was so taken by the song. And her enthusiasm-I don't really sing but for a woman like Pamela Hunt I would carry any tune. Tonight she had me and two other women "humphing" with a hip twist while the rest of the group sang the words.
This morning she taught us anatomy. I am not sure how we got into it-something about how we are hardwired to procreate I think-but we started talking about sex education. She is of the opinion that we should talk to our kids often and early-she would bring it up at the dinner table when her kids were growing up. Pam wanted to teach her children (and would encourage us to do the same) to "manage their hormones." This did strike a chord with me-my oldest son is nine already-I figured I had some work to do when I got home.
This evening Pam had the daunting task of teaching us about blood borne pathogens. We all left that class a bit overwhelmed but nevertheless committed to being a bit more mindful about how we protect ourselves at births.
Pamela was a surprise at this workshop. I had expected to be in awe of Ina May. I had no idea I would find myself listening to Pamela speak-glaring at her like a love sick teenager with nothing but adoration in her eyes.
Day 5
In love with a midwife
I am not sure what my son has enjoyed the most so far-the swimming hole, waking up to a family of deer in the back yard or today's golf cart tour around the farm. Most of the residents have their own golf-carts that they use to get around the farm. Today we took the official tour-we saw the various businesses, the new solar panel installation area, the eco-village and one of the birth cabins. They have a few birth cabins, a couple birth homes and even a "birth double-wide." These days they are doing about 80 births a year-half of which are in Amish country. Women still come from all over the world to have their babies here as well as to participate in the workshops.
During one of our breaks my family and I went to the park. We met a young girl who lived on the farm. She was just as curious about us as we were about her. She asked questions-we asked questions and in the end she really didn't want us to leave. She asked why we couldn't extend our vacation and/or come back for Halloween. She wanted us to come see her band play. That's how friendly the people around here are.
Stacie Hunt taught one of our classes again today. I really enjoy her point of view and hearing about her experiences. She is the youngest farm midwife by at least one generation. It's interesting to hear where they differ in how they practice. I was sitting next to her on the couch and I realized that every time she placed a hand on me I felt the same sort of school-girl crush that I felt when Ina May or Pamela were speaking. I think I was falling in love with all of the midwives. I am not sure I will ever be able to leave.
I had a lesson in intuition today. We were practicing checking cervical dilation, effacement and position. I went second. I was confident I knew exactly what I felt. I think Stacie knew I knew as well but we were holding back our answers until we all got a turn. We started answering on the other side of the room and everyone started saying something entirely different from what I thought. I started to doubt myself and I said ooooh now I am not sure. Stacie looked at me and said "say what you think-don't change your answer." We continued to go around the room and the more we did the more unsure I got so when it was my turn-I changed my answer. When Stacie told us what we had felt-I had been correct the first time-I knew the dilation, effacement, and even that the baby was breech. I doubted myself and I doubted my instincts. Needless to say I learned an important lesson.
The women in our class are really great. We have quite a dynamic group, some doulas-experienced and brand-new, some educators, a hypnotist, women from England, Canada, and Ireland. Some of them are planning on becoming a midwife and some of us are not sure. All of our instructors talk about the calling-the calling to become a midwife. I wonder if you can have selective hearing when it comes to a calling-can you hear wrong? Can you pretend you don't hear it? Are their signs? Is it ok to be afraid?

Columnist Roy Exum honoured for stand on soring
Columnist Roy Exum has been honoured by the Humane Society of the United States for championing the cause of walking horses.
Exum has been a prominent voice in the fight to end the illegal practice of soring.
The society has named Exum as its Humane Horseman of the Year.
Each year, the award is given to an individual who demonstrates an outstanding commitment to protect America's horses.
The society chose Exum because of his unwavering commitment to exposing the cruel reality of the Tennessee walking horse show industry.
In his opinion column in The Chattanoogan, Exum shone a light on the corruption and abuse behind the celebrated "big lick" gait, and those who use chemical and mechanical irritants to achieve it.
Exum reported on the society's undercover investigation into the industry and closely monitored the industry's biggest competition, the Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
The society's director of equine welfare, Keith Dane, said the charity applauded Exum for his perseverance in the months leading up to the Celebration.
"Roy helped the HSUS lay bare the torture these horses endure, and he advocated that they be treated with kindness and respect.
"His newspaper columns played a key role in exposing and publicizing the mistreatment of these beautiful creatures and greatly helped the HSUS in its mission to put an end to the cruelty."
In nearly 20 columns and counting on the topic, Exum held nothing back when criticizing the Tennessee walking horse industry.
In response to the federal sentencing of Jackie McConnell for Horse Protection Act violations, Exum wrote: "The ruling, although just, dashed the hopes of 'many, many hundreds' who had written Judge Mattice to ask for stronger justice. But because of woefully inadequate federal laws against the depravity that has plagued the walking horse industry for well over half a century, the Horse Protection Act has been as lame as the horses it meant to protect and a plea arrangement was deemed at the very onset as the best 'legal solution'."
In a column praising the US Department of Agriculture's new regulations to crack down on soring, Exum opined: "Call me callused or a cynic but when the top 20 trainers in the fabled Rider's Cup standings have a total of 161 violations in the past two years and eight of the last 10 'Trainers of the Year' have violated the Horse Protection Act, the only thing that will ever make a difference is placing anyone who would purposely injure a horse in the dark and dank basement of a jail."
In response to public outcry about the cruel treatment of Tennessee walking horses for the show ring, Congress has introduced H.R. 6388, the Horse Protection Act Amendments of 2012. The bill will significantly strengthen the Horse Protection Act, which outlaws soring.
It would also end the failed system of industry self-policing, ban the use of certain devices associated with soring, strengthen penalties, and hold accountable all those involved in this cruel practice.
In a recent column, Exum expressed his support for the bill, writing: "The amendments are badly needed since there has been continued and rampant abuse of soring in the Tennessee walking horse industry this year."

Hometown Connections
Hometown Connections Performance Management
The staff of Hometown Connections is in high demand for expertise in utility best practices. Hometown Connections' services include strategic planning facilitation, board governance and development, market research, coaching of RP3 program applicants, and the popular Check Up series.
Products & Services
Utility Management Consulting & Research Services
For advice from professionals who have worked with more than 900 APPA members, bring in the consulting team from Hometown Connections. Hometown Connections staff and industry colleagues help public power systems improve organizational, operational, and marketing effectiveness.
Hometown Connections offers a variety of integrated consulting services for public power managers and governing officials:
Strategic Planning Facilitation, Training and Development
Public power managers and governing officials must combine attention to daily operational issues with establishing long-term plans and guidelines on which to base budgets and priorities. Through onsite facilitation, workshops and follow-up consultations for municipal utilities offering electric/gas/water/wastewater/CATV services, Hometown Connections covers the principles of effective strategic planning and reviews the roles and responsibilities of the staff and governing board in the planning and implementation process. The Hometown staff works in depth with the utility board and staff to develop a realistic, step-by-step blueprint for adapting to specific market conditions, regulatory changes, and the complex expectations of customers. Hometown can also facilitate the updating of your existing strategic plan.
Utility Governance Training/Facilitation
To be effective, today's public power governing boards and city council members should maintain a clear understanding of complex issues, including new federal regulations, new technologies, volatile wholesale energy markets, state and local government budget pressures, and the need to attract younger workers with the right skill sets. They also need to understand their roles and responsibilities as stewards of the electric utility. Hometown staff briefs governing officials on industry conditions and offers training on how to work with, and guide, the utility staff.
Customer & Employee Research
Hometown Connections & GreatBlue Research, Inc. are partnering to deliver actionable customer intelligence, under the Hometown Connections umbrella. The firms are combining Hometown's deep knowledge of public power utility management best practices with the research design, analysis, and reporting expertise of GreatBlue Research. Together, the firms are closely integrating customer & employee research with Hometown's strategic planning, facilitation, organization assessment and other consulting services. Many organizations collect information from their constituents yet struggle to make meaningful business decisions. This service helps APPA members identify and support the needs of public power communities through reliable research.
Compensation Studies
To help APPA members maintain a talented and motivated executive workforce, Hometown Connections is launching a Compensation Studies service in early 2016. APPA members will work with Hometown Connections to determine the market value of senior executive positions through compensation studies that are specific to the electric utility industry and region of the U.S. With the support of the energy workforce experts at MFP-Connect™, Hometown Connections arranges for a certified compensation consultant to conduct a custom survey of executive compensation packages—collecting data and analyzing the results.The final report includes a comprehensive market analysis and salary recommendations for review by the governing board and senior staff of the utility. The process enables APPA members to determine how much other utilities are paying for specific executive jobs. Surveyed positions include general manager and director of engineering, as well as senior managers for power supply/transmission/regulatory policy, IT/information systems, and finance/accounting.
Organization Check Up
Through the Organization Check Up (OCU), Hometown Connections provides a quick and cost-effective assessment of key areas of utility management and operations, including customer service, community relations, accounting & finance, power supply, distribution technology, rates, cybersecurity, employee safety, governance, and human resources. A typical OCU includes 2 days onsite at the utility followed by a written report that documents strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, as well as specific recommendations for improvement.
Distribution Check Up
For the Distribution Check Up, the Hometown Connections staff reviews the maintenance plans for the primary elements of the distribution system, planning for new construction, evaluating statistics for system performance, and analyzing reliability indices, outage planning, staff development, and safety/security programs.
Cybersecurity Check Up
The Cybersecurity Check Up with N-Dimension Solutions addresses the protection of public power's critical infrastructure.
The common denominator to the Check Up services from Hometown Connections is the provision of realistic recommendations the utility can implement in the near term to improve performance and which can also provide the foundation for developing a long-range strategic plan.
RP3 Coaching
To help public power electric utilities apply for certification by the American Public Power Association's Reliable Public Power Provider (RP3®) program, industry veteran Paul H. Allen, P.E., is serving as an RP3 Coach. Allen is retired from the Nashville, Tenn., Electric Service as Vice President, Operations (Engineering) and was a member of APPA's RP3 Panel from 2005 through 2012, serving as chairman from 2009 to 2012. Being recognized by the RP3 program demonstrates to community leaders, governing board members, suppliers, and service providers a utility's commitment to excellence. Allen is helping public power utilities of all sizes evaluate their RP3 readiness and prepare or review their applications, enabling more APPA members to receive the RP3 designation.
APPA's Customer Service Manual
To help public power utilities build a strong customer service culture, the APPA Product Store has released Customer Service-Building a Strong Infrastructure For Your Utility. This 38-page manual, written by Steve VanderMeer of Hometown Connections, examines the critical role that customer service plays in the public power industry. It's a must-read for those directly involved in customer services, as well as general managers and policymakers, because those at the top of an organization set the standard for customer service excellence.

2013 Iowa II: Parker Kligerman NASCAR Nationwide Race Preview
Posted by: newsla on Aug 01, 2013 - 07:01 AM
2013 Iowa II: Parker Kligerman NASCAR Nationwide Race Preview
With both driver Parker Kligerman and crew chief Eric Phillips competing in their first full-time season in the Nationwide Series and Kyle Busch Motorsports' (KBM) Nationwide Series program in just its sophomore campaign, the first half of the 2013 season was spent trying to improve the teams fleet of Camrys while building a notebook that will help the team excel in the second half of the season. Now that the NASCAR Nationwide Series will be heading to many tracks for the second time, including Iowa Speedway in Newton this weekend, Kligerman and Phillips will be looking to use the notes that they have compiled over the first half of the season to have a better direction for preparing the No. 77 Camry during practice for what they will experience during the race in an effort to begin competing for wins on a regular basis.
Despite having a limited notebook and basically being rookies in the Nationwide Series, Kilgerman and Phillips have held their own over the first 19 races of the season. In KBM's inaugural season with Kyle and Kurt Busch sharing the driving duties and crew chief Mike Beam - who had led Carl Edwards to eight Nationwide Series wins in 2011 - calling the shots, the team had posted an average finish of 13.3, an average starting position of 12.7 and ranked 11th in owner's points with 597 after 19 races. This year's numbers practically mirror those of last year, with Kligerman posting an average finish of 13.2, an average starting spot of 12.0 and the team currently ranks 12th in owner's points with 589.
In their first trip to Iowa together, Kligerman and Phillips had a fast Toyota Camry in final practice - finishing the session third quick. After qualifying 12th on Saturday afternoon, the rain set in and forced the postponement of the race until Sunday morning. During the race the talented youngster had an average running position of ninth, spent 247 of the 250 laps in the top 15 and was scored in the 10th position with 25 laps to go before running out of gas on the final lap and finishing 14th.
Now, with a notebook in place and 19 races of experience working together under their belts, Kligerman and Phillips head to the Hawkeye State looking to improve upon their run in the first race. The duo is confident that they can continue to make improvements to KBM's Nationwide Series program and climb their way back up both the driver's and owner's point standings. There would be no better way to start that climb then by adding a win to their notebook on Saturday.
Parker Kligerman, driver of the No. 77 Toyota Camry:
How beneficial will it be as a young driver with a young team to be going to tracks for a second time?
"I think the nice thing about going to a track for the second time is that the first time around you discover what you need to work on. So, Eric Phillips (crew chief) and myself will focus on some of the things that we discovered in the first race that held us back from being a contender for the win. I felt like we were probably a seventh-place car in the first race and we probably didn't have some of the best things setup wise based on how the bumps have developed at Iowa as well as some things for the exit of the corners. Also, we were supposed to race at night and with the rain we ended up racing during the day and that threw us off a little bit. As we come back, we will look to improve on those things to find a better setup and hopefully use the track time from the first race to our advantage."
What will it take for your team to go from running in the top 10 to running in the top five week in and week out?
"It is one of those things where for our race team it has to be a concentrated effort to explore and develop. Eric, myself, and our race team need to have the ability to hopefully be better at some of the things we've done well and also develop some new things going into the second half. Additionally, we've built some new cars and I think we've shown at Chicago and Indianapolis with those new cars that they have more speed in them. They might not look much different to the naked eye, but I think they are definitely a step in the right direction as we look to continue to develop the Nationwide Series program at Kyle Busch Motorsports and stay on pace with the rest of the series."
Eric Phillips, crew chief of the No. 77 Toyota Camry:
At the beginning of the season you discussed the lack of a notebook for these cars and having to build that during the first half of the season. How will that help as we begin going back to tracks for the second time?
"It's obviously going to help going back to race tracks for the second time and this weekend Iowa will be the first place other than Daytona that we are going back to. We had a decent car in practice the first time -- we just missed on our adjustments for the race. Going back this time, we will have a better idea of what we need to have for the race versus practice. I think that is the biggest thing that we've struggled with all year is knowing what direction we need to go from practice to the race, adjustment wise, to have our Camrys as good as they need to be when the green flag drops."
Parker Kligerman's No. 77 Toyota Camry:
KBM-11: KBM-11 will make its fourth start of the 2013 season in Saturday's US Cellular 250. In its first start of 2013, Kligerman posted a series-best fourth-place finish with the Camry in March at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif. and since posted a 15th-place finish at Darlington (S.C.) Raceway in May and led 13 laps before finishing 25th at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn in June. The Toyota raced four times in 2012, capturing the pole in its debut at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga. last September and posting two top-five and three top-10 finishes.
