There's a lot of meat to be found at Muncan, the venerable Queens pork and charcuterie store. The air, perfumed with cured and smoked meat, promises luscious and explosive flavors. Though it originally catered mostly to the local Romanian and Serbo-Croatian populations, the family-owned company has grown to produce a variety of charcuterie from a wide swath of Eastern European traditions. A triumvirate of garlic, salt, and black pepper defines their products, though others spices, such as paprika, are by no means uncommon.
"Being a butcher, it's is all I have known my whole life," Tima Muncan, the company's grandfatherly founder, explained. "When I was young, my grandfather told me that I needed to learn a trade. He said that food was the profession to get involved in because no matter what happens in life, no matter how times change, people will always need to eat...I've been doing this every day since I was 14, and I still love it. All these years, I eat our products everyday—and I still love them."
For the unfamiliar, figuring out exactly what you want to buy can be a bit like playing "Where's Waldo?" with drunk goggles. "Double smoked bacon? Lamb copa? That ... what is that?" To make things easier for you, we've put together this guide, which features all of Muncan's bacons as well as our other favorite products. But this is really just a start—there's much more there, waiting to be eaten.

"Doing nothing is not an option. Doing just a little bit is not an option."
That's what California Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen said during a hearing at the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) headquarters on Thursday, according to Capital Press.
The hearing was called after the state's dairymen and cheese processors negotiated an agreement to increase the minimum price of milk used to manufacture cheese and to cap the value of whey in the state's minimum pricing formula for Class 4b.
This truce appears to have been short-lived.
Now one phrase, "if conditions warrant," has become the pivotal point for both sides.
Emotions ran high during the hearing, as politicians, experts, processers and producers filled the day with nearly seven hours of testimony. Supporters of the chance argue that California dairy producers are working with "substantial" negative margins compared to those in other major dairy states.
"If you incur losses, you can hang in there in the short run," Richard Sexton, a professor and chairman of the University of California-Davis' Agriculture and Resource Economics department, said. "If they persist in the long run, you go out of business. That's what's been happening to California dairy farms. The losses have been unabated."
Others disagreed.
"This year's (corn and grain) crops are in much better condition" than when feed costs spiked in late 2012, asserted Renee Peets, the Illinois-based Kraft Foods' senior director for cheese and dairy procurement. "Therefore, they're provided much-needed relief to farmers' input costs."
Read, "Milk producers, processors spar over proposed 4b price hike."
The panel has 62 days to make a recommend to CDFA Secretary Karen Ross, who will make the final milk pricing decision. However, with the state losing six dairy farms each month, the stakes in the war on milk pricing are high. Read more here.

I can sympathize with the lady and her son being upset, but I agree it really isn't worthy of an article. The letters or "sound off" section maybe.
I hope the "Carousing Bozo" gets on the Star and is just like I wasn't drunk and just tripped and fell and I tried to apologize
I will say that I absolutely detest sitting that high in the Balcony, and the fear of falling forward while shuffling to your seat is very real for me. There is so little leg room there that one could knock your head against a persons Knee when you lean back.

Brings back wonderful memories of MSA and standing in line with a drunk wanting to fight me. My goodness the concession lines at MSA were horrible. Had my son (probably around 4) and we had stood in line a good 15 minutes and were finally just two people back from the front. This drunk guy just strolls on up to the front thinking he was going to cut in line but nah I wasn't going to have it.
I was polite by stating " Hey buddy, we've been standing here a long time. The line actually starts back there". You would have thought I called his mom something the way he reacted. Well actually with the F-Bombs, C sucker, and I ought to kick your *** flying out of his mouth I should just got out of line. I didn't because no he wasn't going to force me to give up after waiting that long.
I did tell him however as we finally got our sodas and popcorn to be sure and stay right in this area because after taking my son back to his seat (where the wife would be) I'd be right back to continue this coversation.
I made it really quick, came back, and of course this idiot was nowhere to be found. Several people who had been waiting in line were still there and actually thanked me for saying something. He had left shortly after I had left and honestly that was probably a good thing. Who knows, he may have kicked my butt or I would have just beat the $h!+ out of him I was so mad and would have been thrown in the pokey. I was more ticked he had to be such an @ss in front of my son so while I think/understand the person writing the story had a reason to be angry I would never paint the Pacers or BLF (or in my case MSA) as this apparent battlefield.

You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
The tooth fairy clearly felt pretty rotten there isnt more she can do to control random accidents at sporting events. She left $20, a largesse that he will hopefully remember as long as he remembers his first professional basketball game.
He should use that $20 on the Two for Tuesday deal the Pacers offer.
I like that his apology wasn't full of enough testosterone. SAY SORRY LIKE A REAL MAN, PUSSY!
Wow. She better not ever try to take her kids to a Raiders game.
I went once a few years ago, last game of the season vs. the Colts. Raiders had been eliminated from the playoffs at least a month before the game so it was meaningless for Oakland. (Edit: Colts won on the last drive).
Anyway on the way out, walking to the train, I see a big 220+ lb drunk dude start really harassing (borderline threatening) a 9-or-10 year old kid with a Peyton Manning jersey on. His dad wisely got them both out of there but it was pretty bad.
Alcohol + sports fans = take a few extra precautions with your kids, no matter where you go.
In my experience the Fieldhouse might be the number one most kid-friendly venue I have ever been to, with AT&T Park for Giants games being in second.

I got a story about a bouncy castle and a lost baby tooth. They told me outdoor parties for 6 year olds are absolute drunken orgies, I should have listened.
This is ridiculous. The man could have just fallen trying to get back to his seat. (Ushering by other people in their seats doesn't always leave much room). Yet, she is blaming Pacer games? It's too bad her son got hurt... but was this story worth writing an article over? Nope.
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
What a pointless article....wow.
It occurs to me that people screaming all the time and standing up disturbs my ability to concentrate on the game. So I think that should not be allowed, right?

Wow... the responses in this thread are pretty disappointing. I agree that this shouldn't be in the news, but if this happened to my boy, I wouldn't have been as nice to this guy as she was, drunk or not. That's my son.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
If you got a dollar for everytime a kid got knocked over in a mall, wouldn't you just run around knocking over every kid you saw, screaming "trader joe gots to get paid!"
And it isn't beyond possibility that it was an accident. What are you going to do, take it out on a guy that fell down? It isn't like he looked for your son to fall on.
When you take your kids into places with other people, there's the possibility of accidents. The only way to prevent it is to lock them in a room. Someone being involved in that accident doesn't always make them at fault or jerks.

Even though if in her situation you admittedly did not know what happened with the gentlemen? Just know that he ended up on top of your kid?

If it were my son I wouldn't be taking him to the bathroom to rinse some water in his mouth. Put it that way I guess. Mom might, I wouldn't be.
And yes, I feel real tough now.

SANTA CRUZ -- A controversial volunteer needle exchange group serving Santa Cruz County swaps twice as many drug needles each year as a government-run program in neighboring Santa Clara County, which has six times as many residents, the Sentinel has learned.
While Santa Cruz officials consider where Street Outreach Supporters might be allowed to relocate after being ousted from its longtime site, city leaders urge the county to take over the program and model it after Santa Clara County's.
Meanwhile, exchange volunteers have requested permission to reopen a couple of evenings each week at the Santa Cruz County health facility on Emeline Avenue, where they already operate on Sundays. County health officials met Friday to discuss the matter but no decision was made.
Dr. Ida Lubell, interim public health officer, said the Emeline Avenue facility is not convenient in the evenings, when public transit service is diminished and there potentially are conflicting uses at the facility, including narcotics anonymous gatherings.
"How do users get here?" he said. "This is not a place that is on every transit route."
Trying to identify appropriate locations for the exchange -- funded through county and private donations -- will be complicated as officials try to increase accountability measures and match zoning and permit requirements with places drug users are most known to be. Santa Clara County's program features multiple sites largely away from residential areas, as well as membership cards, a one-for-one exchange and numerous safe disposal boxes in public places for Sharps containers.
Neal Coonerty, who chairs the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors, said he is amenable to a county takeover of the exchange and increasing Sharps collection boxes. Cost will be a factor because federal funding no longer exists to support needle exchanges, which is why the volunteer group had picked it up from a local AIDS services agency.
Lubell estimated the county's cost to administer the program could be $60,000 to $70,000 annually, but it is difficult to estimate as Santa Cruz officials want to see some sites outside the city. Coonerty said multiple exchanges would be considered to spread out the service geographically.
Volunteers handed free clean needles to intravenous drug users for 24 years outside a laundromat in the Lower Ocean area of Santa Cruz until last week, when the company that owns the property at Bixby and Barson streets insisted the exchange leave. Under pressure from community members fed up with discarded needles and drug dens at the beach, the city notified Bei-Scott & Co. the exchange constituted an unpermitted use at the Santa Cruz company's site.
Councilman Micah Posner, who lives near the former exchange site, agrees a future location should coincide with a high concentration of drug users and understands fear about the proximity to homes.
"Almost everywhere is a neighborhood, but we have to find a place for it," he said.
There is some urgency to get the exchange up and running again during the week because there could be an increase in the very problem the community is demanding be solved -- discarded used needles.
"There are other places to get needles, so I don't think it will be a big impact," Coonerty said. "But we recognize that is a legitimate public health issue."
State law allows pharmacies to sell 30 clean needles to people without a prescription, and not all of the pharmacies take dirty needles in return or sell Sharps containers. Street Outreach Supporters offers home delivery but volunteers are worried about losing a fixed distribution site.
"The needle exchange program has dealt with the sudden closure of sites in the past, and what we know for sure is that there is a period of time following a site closure when our participants are more likely to wind up improperly discarding their syringes, and more likely to wind up sharing and reusing syringes," said Emily Ager, a representative for Street Outreach Supporters.
Jim McPherson, program manager for Santa Clara County Public Health STD and HIV Control, said there would be adverse impacts on syringe users if his division suddenly were to lose its exchange.
"It poses an immediate danger to their health, and second, if there is no incentive to return a needle to get a clean sterile needle, then why not leave it where it falls?" he said.
Some Santa Cruz officials and public safety advocates believe the exchange hasn't been as effective as it could be. Although Street Outreach Supporters says it provides almost as many needles as it collects, the group does not require dirty needles to get clean ones.
Lubell, Santa Cruz County's public health chief, said he could not verify how many needles his agency receives from the volunteer exchange to be disposed of by a biowaste contractor because the county relies on figures provided by the exchange. The exchange reports turning over 240,000 needles annually, or twice as much as collected by the needle exchange program run by Santa Clara County.
"A proper needle exchange program should be a community partner," said Councilwoman Pamela Comstock. "And that is not what we have right now."
Comstock, a founding board member of the anti-crime group Take Back Santa Cruz, took Street Outreach Supporters to task during a recent meeting of the city's public safety committee. She said her husband, filmmaker Craig Comstock, was given a flier while visiting the exchange site that urged people not to cooperate with police.
"Our system of law exists to maintain the dominance of those in power, and the police are its armed enforcers," the flier reads. "Your relationship with the police is at heart adversarial. While there may be cops with hearts of gold, the job of all police is to arrest and prosecute you."
Exchange volunteers denied responsibility for the flier, but acknowledge concerns about enforcement activity among clients, especially when exchange sites are moved. Police say they have unsuccessfully urged previous city officials to take action against the exchange site due to drug dealing and other problems nearby.
Posner appreciates the work of exchange volunteers but also applauds community efforts to raise awareness.
"I don't know whether it is causing a problem or not, but I want to honor people's feelings," he said of neighbors. "I think it is possible to move it to a public place."
State law allows local governments to permit syringe exchange programs and set operating conditions. But as of January 2012, the state's Office of AIDS also allows agencies to apply directly to California's public health department to provide exchanges, the proposed regulations for which were posted for public review Friday on the department's website.
Street Outreach Supporters does not have state authority to operate, only an informal agreement with the county health department. In determining a new location for the exchange, the county has jurisdiction over unincorporated areas and its own property.
That leaves officials with the city of Santa Cruz, where service providers widely agree the largest number of injection drug users exist, with discretion about where the exchange might go.
Zoning Administrator Eric Marlatt said exchanges are similar to a medical function, which would restrict them to areas allowing medical facilities, including neighborhood and community commercial zones and professional office areas. These include Harvey West; the Ocean Street, Water Street and Soquel Avenue corridors; industrial areas near Mission Street; and parts of downtown.
A use permit would be required regardless of location, and a public hearing would be set before a permit is issued, Marlatt said.
Santa Clara County has been strategic about the six sites where it conducts exchanges, choosing largely semi-industrial areas or those near government and medical facilities to avoid impacts on residential zones and maintain accessibility to clients. The majority of sites are in San Jose, though no special city permitting is in place.
"That is really a result of a very good, long-standing relationship with local law enforcement and city councils," said McPherson, the Santa Clara County public health representative.
Started 17 years ago to reduce the spread of HIV, the exchange has reduced the number of needles discarded in public, though the problem still exists, McPherson said.
The program exchanged 122,441 needles from July 2011 to June 2012, a figure that has declined in recent years because, as McPherson said, injection drug use is declining in favor of other drugs that don't require injection. Also, a 2011 change in state law that increased the number of clean needles pharmacies may distribute without a prescription also reduced the number of exchanges.

Santa Clara County's needle exchange program is considered a model program. Here's how it works:
1: There are six sites open for just one or two hours at a time during weekdays and they are located in mostly nonresidential areas or at county or medical facilities.
2: A one-for-one exchange of dirty needles for clean needles is required.
3: Clients may remain anonymous, but must fill out a one-page form to join the program. They receive a membership card they must bring each time they want to exchange needles.
4: Clients must bring their needles contained inside a Sharps container, which the county will provide if they don't have one.
5: In addition to clean needles, clients can receive condoms, hygiene kits and other injection supplies, as well as rapid HIV testing and referrals for HIV and substance abuse treatment services.
6: Safe needle distribution sites are located in government or medical buildings so they are not vandalized.
7: In 2012, the county exchanged 122,441 needles from July 2011 to June 2012. The program served 364 primary clients, those who are collecting needles for themselves, and for an estimated 2,131 secondary clients for whom others are picking up needles.
8: The program costs about $150,000 annually, mostly to pay for public health workers who administer the exchange.
9: There is no private exchange known to be operated in Santa Clara County.

The city of Santa Cruz is working with county officials and representatives of the Street Outreach Supporters to reform the needle exchange program. Here are some steps city officials are urging:
1: County control of the exchange program, either through direct service or contracting with a nonprofit agency.
2: Studying the possibility of adding disposal kiosks throughout the county.
3: Creating an interagency team committee to review broader needle policies.
4: Working with pharmacies to improve their procedures, including providing Sharps containers and take-back programs.

Climate change is one of the most serious environmental threats facing our world. It is crucially important for all companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from business operations in order to protect the environment against climate change and achieve sustainable growth.
Samsung Electronics has been establishing corporate-level strategies to address its direct and indirect impact on climate change. Through this, Samsung strives to reduce direct and indirect emissions of greenhouse gases and prevent potential risks by carrying out initiatives in voluntary GHG reduction and the development of an inventory.
The 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development highlighted the needs of regulating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which have a direct impact on climate change.
Samsung Electronics' total emissions of greenhouse gases with regional breakdown are shown in Figure 1. The majority of GHGs come from our semiconductor and LCD panel businesses in Korea.
The below diagram provides an overview of GHG emissions occurred by Samsung Electronics' entire business activities. This was estimated and developed based on currently available data for Scope 1, 2 and 3.
Samsung Electronics has adopted various measures such as high-efficiency facilities, energy management systems and training programs for employees to reduce energy consumption across all operations.

Before you go outside, have your child look around your house to find some circles. He or she will realize that a circle is a basic shape, and you can find them almost everywhere–from the top of a lamp shade to a plate in the kitchen sink.
Walk in your yard and around your neighborhood, letting your child search for circles. They're all over the place–manhole covers in the street, the moon above, an acorn tipped on its edge. Ask your child to name a few special things about the circle shape. (It has no end or corners, for instance.)
Whenever your child finds a good specimen, take a picture of it for your circle collection. Keep adding to it as she spies the inside of a dried-out sunflower or he points to a bird's nest in a tree.
When you have an opportunity, point out other shapes within circles. If your child sees a bicycle tire, for example, ask what shape the spokes make inside the circular wheel. (triangle) Or, have your child drop a pebble in a puddle to create rippling circles within circles.
Back at home, ask your child to imagine a scene where everything is made from circles. What would it look like? Ask your child to draw this picture. Then print out the pictures you took while on your walk and assemble them into a book about circles.
The circle photographs you took could be the first chapter of a book about shapes. On a future walk, you can gather materials for the next chapter. Pick a shape, any shape–triangles, squares, rectangles!

Plan and book your holiday with British Airways, online or by phone. Enjoy all these great benefits:
A holiday in Salzburg offers a rare opportunity to combine one of Europe's most fascinating cities with world-class skiing. At the heart of Salzburg you'll find a beautiful, baroque old town steeped in history, and 23 ski resorts at its fingertips. All are covered by one pass and each easy to ski in a day.
Salzburg is a city of contrasts, the eye-catching, colourful townhouses, awe-inspiring castles and opulent palaces are complemented by classical operas and symphonies played live. In the same streets you will find cutting edge nightclubs and stylish bars. Friendly pubs serve traditional Austrian cuisine and locally brewed beer, whilst critically acclaimed restaurants offer modern, European cuisine. The year-round skiing of Kaprun is an hour away by car or Salzburg Snow Shuttle. Austria's first glacier resort offers scenic, smooth cruising for skiers and a terrain park for freestyle skiers and snowboarders. Cross-country skiers will also be delighted to find trails atop the Kaprun glacier. Salzburg is a truly individual ski destination.
4 km (approximately 20 minutes transfer)
The Hochkönig ski area offers plenty of nursery slopes. The foot of Hintertal and Aberg mountains have wide, gentle slopes and good ski tuition. There is a lot of good beginner terrain within a short distance of Salzburg. The Snow Shuttle has a multilingual guide who assists with all your skiing needs.

I have forgot much, Cynara! gone with the wind. [Ernest Dowson, 1896]
Meaning "breath" is attested from late Old English; especially "breath in speaking" (early 14c.), so long-winded, also "easy or regular breathing" (early 14c.), hence second wind in the figurative sense (by 1830), an image from the sport of hunting.

New York -- RKF said Tuesday it has completed the leasing assignment at the base of The Mark Hotel at 992-998 Madison Avenue on behalf of ownership Alexico Group.
All of the hotel's ground-floor retail space, which is located on Madison Avenue and 77th Street, is now leased.
RKF was responsible for leases with Zadig et Voltaire, Jack Vartanian, Punto Ottico, Phoenix Roze and, more recently, 25 Park. These tenants joined Frederic Fekkai Salon, The Mark Restaurant by Jean-Georges, John Lobb and Sant Ambroeus at the property.
"We will continue to see strong demand here as retailers recognize that the affluent Upper East Side demographic wants more fashion retail options in their backyard," said RKF managing director Beth Rosen. "This certainly explains why international designers and brands are opening stores on Madison Avenue in the Seventies either in addition to (or instead of) opening them in major NYC shopping districts such as SoHo and the Meatpacking District."

I'm not going to conduct a poll b/c that would leave a variety of players, but what if the PGs and combo guards are all off the board?
As the draft is nearing, they're a lot of rumblings that Westbrook and Augustin are rising on draft boards.
Realgm has them gone by the time we pick. I think Chad Ford may have them off the board in his next mock as well.
It's really possible that picks 6,7, and 8 could consist of Augustin, Westbrook, and Gordon (in no particular order)
Do we then choose a big? What if the best player available is a wing? Do we take ANOTHER wing and trade a guy like Dun Dun?
Do we trade down and try to get Chalmers while adding a piece, since Lawson is out of the draft?
Do we try and trade for a PG?
Do we not worry about it and hope Tinsley is healthy and has no hard feelings about the comments surrounding him?
Do we try and move up to get one of the guards?
I'm just curious what others think the Pacers should do, if it's looking like the guards will be off the board at #11?

Summer Greetings from the College of Pharmacy. I hope you, your family and friends are enjoying the summer season. My summer vacation took me and my husband, Dan on a river cruise down the Danube through Germany and Austria. One of the most interesting aspects of this tour was the opportunity to see the many pharmacies (apothecaries) in Germany and Austria with often two or three around each village center. This brought to mind one of the most special aspects of our College of Pharmacy, the diversity of our students in the program and the opportunities we have to learn from each others in the College. Learning is truly done in a community environment and it is these interactions that enrich each of our lives. Thanks to everyone's efforts we are successfully continuing to full accreditation status.
We held a College of Pharmacy Faculty and Staff Retreat during late July and the first of August. During these separate sessions faculty members had opportunities to develop our skills as educators and teachers; our staff members benefited from professional development activities. The programming was developed through the efforts of our Faculty and Staff Development Committees.
The College of Pharmacy is busy during August gearing up for the 2012-2013 academic year. Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Admissions, Dr. Jean Woodward, is working with colleagues at UNE in the planning for the 2012 Orientation for our incoming Class of 2016 who will be starting at the end of August. It is amazing that we will now have all four classes in the College. Students in the Class of 2013 are now well into their advanced pharmacy practice experiences. In a wink of an eye, we will be celebrating the graduation of our first class in May 2013.
In conclusion, summer is always a great time in Maine but we are certainly looking forward to our new academic year. I remain truly thankful for the many talented students, faculty members, staff members and preceptors who dedicate time and effort each day for the College, for pharmacy, for advancing patient care and for research in Maine. I hope all of you will have the time to relax during this summer either through some time away on vacation or just at home enjoying this fine Maine summer. I look forward to sharing my stories about our cruise down the Danube River from Nuremberg to Vienna. Auf Wiedersehen from the River Danube.

Biopics in recent years have featured artists and fallen leaders of all sorts, but no one quite like Julia Child. Based in part on Child's memoir, My Life in France, the new film "Julie & Julia" follows the well-known chef and teacher from her discovery of her innate love for cooking to her decade-long effort to publish the cookbook that made her a household name, Mastering the Art of French Cooking (1961). In the film we learn that Child, played by Meryl Streep, could barely boil an egg when she married at the age of 34. That her books and public television series ultimately redefined American cooking illustrates again the old adage that those who (at first) can't, teach.
The movie divides its attention between Child and an unlikely disciple, Julie Powell, played by Amy Adams, a government employee who, in 2002, takes up the challenge of cooking all 524 recipes in Child's cookbook in her Queens apartment and lives to blog about it. (She later published a book from which the film takes its name.) Her project begins in obscurity and gains recognition because it fulfills so well what Child set out to do in her cookbook: provide fool-proof recipes that teach the technique of French cooking so well that even someone like Powell could receive the kind of education Child enjoyed at the prestigious Cordon Bleu in Paris.
The film revolves around the parallel stories of the two women, at different times and places, discovering cooking, but Child's story is inevitably more compelling. To begin with, Powell's discovery takes place in a world that Child created, in which cooking is a legitimate avenue for professional and personal fulfillment. No such notion existed for Child when she began; she started cooking lessons simply to fill her time while her husband was at work. For this reason, Child's maiden voyages to Parisian markets, joyfully selecting ripe tomatoes and freshly baked bread, and the scenes in which she feverishly chops onions and fearlessly slices open a lobster to outdo the men her class, are exciting to watch—not least of all because she's played by the astonishing Meryl Streep.
Streep's bravura is not overdone. It captures all the unfussy joie-de-vivre and graciousness that endeared Child to America. The actress, a good deal shorter than Child's six-foot-two stature, manages not only to embody Child's lumbering gestures but also convey by turns the self-consciousness and self-assertion they invoke. Plus, her replication of Child's sing-song New England accent is uncanny.
Stanley Tucci, who plays Child's husband Paul, is a perfect complement to Streep. He displays a measured worldliness, encouraging but grounding, without which Child's energy might have remained directionless. He takes real joy in his wife's pursuits, and offers comfort when Child, at first, suffers rejection after rejection of her cookbook's manuscript.
The New Yorker recently predicted that audiences would resent the screen time Adams's Powell takes away from Streep's Child. This may be true, but the decision to add the contemporary narrative strikes me as the right one. The transcendence that Streep and Tucci bring to the Childs' story might have floated into the realm of the "unrelatable" were it not grounded by Julie Powell, played capably by Adams. Powell's quest to find an outlet for writing through cooking is punctuated by frustrations, lapses into self-involvement, strains on her marriage—all the things that would happen to any one of us in such an undertaking. Which is exactly the point: Julia Child is not one of us.
A hero's uniqueness is a common premise for biopics, but Child is even set apart from the likes of Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, Truman Capote and other legends whose life stories have lately appeared onscreen. She had neither their early talent nor their singular ambition (nor their unraveling due to drugs, infidelity or narcissism). Rather, she was one of us and, through tireless passion and hard work, she became one of them, and taught us how to do it, too.
Years ago my father would roar with laughter watching Julia Child on PBS. He said that it was the best comedy on television. This movie reminded me of that! Meryl Streep was uncanny as Julia. How does that woman get into so many characters and make you forget that she is acting? Amazing! Wouldn't it be great if PBS would show all the Julia Childs tapes again? It would be like watching "I Love Lucy" and learning something good at the same time.

I was looking at this site and the underlying code, its not a cms system It dosen't seem to need a database, and I see no reason for them to use a php extension for there pages?Can some one shed some light on this for me why they did this?http://www.cornerstoneremodel.net/index.php
I suspect they used the same logic most people do that use PHP includes; to include content/code to save themselves time having to code common page components such as the navigation menu, for each individual page, etc. Once you have over let's say 10 pages usually it makes more sense to use server-side includes as saves on maintenance time.
Thanks,That makes sense.
xhtmlcoder hit it right on the spot.
PHP includes allows me to have 1 page be static (have the design and main navigational links) then I can include the content pages. It saves so much time. Every time I have new content, I just make a simple page with only the content (text) and include it.
Using PHP has the advantage over using Server Side Includes that you can expand into using actual logic if you decide that your site requires it. SSI only allows include statements and little more.
You can create other pages by just including a file into PHP code.
<snip />
The major feature of PHP is SFS:-Stability, Flexibility and Speed are the chief qualities that attract business owners to choose PHP.
Coding on PHP is comparatively easy than other programming language. Generally owner use PHP as a platform to build their site and adopt WordPress as a CMS.
Closing this thread, it has become a fluff magnet and isn't providing anything useful any more.

'Army should care for elderly'
Each week a global thinker from the worlds of philosophy, science, psychology or the arts is given a minute to put forward a radical, inspiring or controversial idea – no matter how improbable – that they believe would change the world.
This week Archaeologist Sada Mire argues that the military should help with primary and elderly care.
"The physically weakest in our society should be taken care of by the physically strongest in our society.
When I was working in health care and in primary schools I noted that there were very few men working in these areas. Both roles are very strenuous for women who carry heavy people and work day after day, long hours.
I suggest that the military are required to take some time to work in institutions and schools to help nurses, doctors and teachers to provide needed relief.
I believe soldiers should not be treated like killing machines. The armed forces will gain experiences for future peace keeping activities around the world by gaining this compassion, humanity and empathy by working and dealing with the youth and the elderly."
You can listen to Sada discuss his idea in more detail on the BBC World Service programme The Forum, where you can also download more 60-second ideas.
If you have a 60-second idea or would like to comment on this story, head over to our Facebook page or message us on Twitter.

Big City Music has released a good look at the Metasonix D-1000 Vacuum Tube Drum Machine. It's unique and definetly sounds ancient in terms on electronic sound. Those who can appreciate the amazing soundtrack to Forbidden Planet (iTunes link) or some Aphex Twin will appreciate this box.
"The first drum machine made with vacuum tubes since the Wurlitzer Sideman of 1959. Unlike the Sideman, it's a "modern" primitive device–with plenty of inputs, outputs, and flexibility. Even though it has only four drum sounds — two tunable drums, a tunable "snare" drum (harder sounding than the others), and a cymbal — control voltage inputs give great flexibility." – metasonix.com

Sylvester wrote:Thanks AB!
The pericopes in question, as you helpfully point out, speak of -nikāmalābhī akicchalābhī akasiralābhī
The first, nikāmalābhī, is variously translated as "attains ... as he wishes", or "attains ... as he wills" or "attains ... as he desires".
Does nikāma mean "will"? In MN 4, we hear of meditators who are -... lābhasakkārasilokaṃ nikāmayamānā...
desirous of gains, offerings and fame
I've not surveyed all the compounds where nikāma occurs, but the general sense from the dictionary seems to be that it only means desire or wish, but not will or intention.
In fact, I wonder if the 3 words in sequence might not be a set of synonyms arranged according to the waxing syllable principle?
nikāma may simply depend on context. nikāma in the context of desirous of gains, offerings and fame (... lābhasakkārasilokaṃ nikāmayamānā...) indicates the intention or will of what is desired (lābha)
In the AN. 4.35 pericope:
- nikāma + lābhī = 'one who receives (attains)' (lābhī) + '(the object of) desire' (ni (na^1 emph. part.) + kāma), or 'attains ... as one wishes'
akiccha + lābhi = 'one who receives' (lābhi) + (the condition where there is) 'no distress' (akiccha), with reference to the object one wishes.
akasira + lābhi = 'one who receives' (lābhi) + (the condition where there is) 'no difficulty' (akasira), with reference to the object one wishes.
Redundant as they seem, the use of waxing syllables relates again to the bhāṇaka system we have discussed in the EB sub-forum from time to time. This device – combined with stock repetitions and pericopes – is found throughout early Buddhist literature, even up to chanting rituals used today which were composed only 150 years ago.
Anālayo presents a nice discussion of this in Oral Dimensions of Pāli Discourses: Pericopes, other Mnemonic Techniques and the Oral Performance Context.

Hey guys,
I have a question regarding the movement of a mini marker by uncontrollable forces. Lets say my shot lands on the side of a hill or some slight incline with loose sand or leaves. I place my marker and proceed to put my foot behind the marker. As I step behind the marker my foot causes some of the loose sand or leaves to move the marker down the side of the hill. Is there a penalty for this? Do I just stand where I have planted my foot and throw from there? Or can I move my foot to the new lie that my marker has slid to?
I have this happen to me a lot and my buddies and I were talking about it and what would happen in a tournament. We did not know. Thanks.

LOUDON, N.H.—The Hendrick Motorsports car of Jimmie Johnson was too low in post-qualifying inspection, which forced NASCAR to disallow his qualifying time and send the car to the rear of the of the field for the Sprint Cup Series race Sunday.
Johnson had qualified with the second-fastest speed, just 0.02 mph slower (four-thousandths of a second) than pole-sitter Brad Keselowski during time trials Friday afternoon around the 1.058-mile track.
MORE: Keselowski on pole | Loudon lineup
A five-time Cup champion, series points leader Johnson had trouble getting through tech prior to his qualifying lap. He said his team had to cut one-16th of an inch off the side skirt and was a pound too light.
"We had to go through twice and that is usually big trouble for teams," Johnson said after the lap. "We were able to get it done quickly and get out just in time. With all that being said, it just added a lot of stress."
Johnson crew chief Chad Knaus said the front end was misassembled when switching setups from practice to qualifying. That caused the initial problems as well as the post-qualifying problems, where the entire front end was too low.
"We were able to get the car right (for qualifying), but it just wasn't exactly right and we weren't going to know until after qualifying once we started tearing it apart what the problem was," Knaus said.
"There was a mis-assembly issue with the left front, and that's why the heights were so messed up when we went through initial inspection and it came back to bite us."
Knaus said the team will be able to add back to the side skirt on the right side of the car that it cut off to get through tech.
It is not unprecedented for a car to settle on its shocks and springs after a qualifying lap, and teams periodically are found to be too low following qualifying.
"We saw that there was an issue (in prequalifying tech)—the left side was real high and the right side was real low," Knaus said. "We knew there was something that just wasn't jiving right. We were able to get through but afterward, the car settled a little bit.
"At a track like New Hampshire, you run a lot of shock and you run a lot of front rebound and it takes a little bit (of time) for the cars to come up. With the way that we're measuring the heights now, you don't really have a lot of room for error and we just had a little error."
Johnson then had more stress as his qualifying speed was disallowed, which put him 43rd in the 43-car lineup for the Camping World RV Sales 301.
Kurt Busch, who was third-quickest in qualifying, will start next to Keselowski on the front row.
The disallowing of a qualifying time for a height infraction is standard NASCAR procedure with no additional penalties such as fines, points reductions or suspensions.

Stand 2550 at the Autosport International show saw Lotus fans doing a double take today, as Lotus Racing, the motorsport arm of sports car manufacturer Group Lotus Plc, unveiled two Exige Cup showstoppers.
The cars, the 2013 Exige V6 Cup, the latest cup version suitable for either track or road and its new race bred sibling the Exige V6 Cup R, have had tongues wagging in interest and following today's first public debut, its appears they have hit the spot amongst the marque's enthusiast following.
One, no less than a track day hero derived from the Exige Cup whilst the other, Cup R, which was bred solely for racing, remain true to Lotus genealogy; distinctly recognisable as offspring of the award-winning Exige S. Visually compelling are the car's bespoke liveries and interior, courtesy of the skilled team at Lotus Design. The Exige Cup R is distinguished with its extended front splitter, and you can almost anticipate the down force by just looking at its bruiser of a rear wing. Both mouth wateringly muscular and ready to battle on track, it's little wonder they've drawn such admiration.
Yet show ponies they are not. They reach a scorching 100km/hr (60mph) in 3.8seconds. For the V6 Cup that's around 0.5secs/km quicker than the Exige S.
Both cars are powered by a 3.5 litre supercharged V6 engine driving through a 6-speed sequential gearbox. Lotus is about lightness, and with the V6 cup weighing at a featherlike, 1080kg whilst its big brother the Cup R is air light, boasting an unladen mass of 1040kg, some 120kg lighter than the original S version. It just keeps getting better, true that Lotus is about race-winning pedigree and an ever-evolving lineage. The Exige Cup V6 is priced from £52,495.00 for the base model and the Exige Cup V6 R from £62,495.00 (all prices exclude VAT, local taxes and on-road costs).
Also on the Lotus stand, is the ever-popular Evora GT4, suitable for the newly announced SRO GT4 European Trophy, this too has been on the agenda of the GT racing fraternity.
Head of Commercial Rupert Manwaring: "It's great to be back at Autosport. The cars have been simply mobbed today! Interested parties are looking to race them in our own 2013 Lotus Cup series, and in other Cup series for which they are eligible around the globe. The Evora GT4 is here with us also, which is a perfect contender, for, amongst others, the new SRO GT4 European Trophy.'
The fans are indeed visiting by the bucketful if only to have a chance of winning the Driving Experience Day*, courtesy of the Lotus Driving Academy. Winners will be announced at the end of the weekend.
Around the show, visitors have been getting close to the championship winning Evora GTC, the car that romped to victory last season in the MSA British GT Endurance Championship under the guidance of Richard Adams and his Bullrun Team. The car is on display courtesy of Britcar, stand 2200.
Attention has also been drawn to the award-winning Exige S and Evora S road cars as they have been on show as part of the fans Autocar's 'Best of British' parade which is showing at regular intervals in the Live Arena.

BURNLEY could open up a six-point gap in second place tomorrow, but Michael Duff insists: "There's no pressure on us."
With QPR not playing until Sunday, at home to Reading, and Derby out of action until Tuesday night, the Clarets can increase their cushion in the automatic promotion places with a win at Eddie Howe's Bournemouth tomorrow.
But Burnley are not struggling under any weight of expectation, according to loyal servant Duff.
The defender says their widespread 'underdog' tag has helped their cause, and they are happy for it to stick.
"It's a good place to be because when the pressure's not on so much it's maybe a bit easier to be a bit more free-flowing," said the 36-year-old, who is in his 10th season at Turf Moor.
"There are some good teams with some good players and some big budgets in this league.
"We're not expected to be up there and we've shown that underdog spirit. I think the supporters have bought into the underdog spirit. We're hard working and organised.
"I think that's maybe why, because one thing when you come up here (Burnley) the least they expect of you is to run around and try to win a few tackles.
"But we've got a bit of quality with it as well.
"The gaffer talks about this structure to go and play from.
"It's what we do, it's how we work."
But while Burnley have the chance to see advantage grow in the race for automatic promotion tomorrow, after recording a 16th league win and 12th clean sheet at Bolton in midweek, Duff maintains that with 16 games still to be played there is still no need to pay attention to the league table.
"There's only any point looking at the league table when there are 46 games played and see where we finish," he said.
"Someone asked whether it was a good result or bad result on Monday night (Derby beating QPR). It doesn't matter who beats who and who's got a tough game coming up because it makes no difference if we don't win our games.
"The gaffer's said before we try to win every game, we try to stay in every game, and we'll see where it takes us.
"There is no pressure on us really.
"People have been saying we're going to blow up for the last 15-20 games now probably and we're still hanging around.
"We're confident in what we're doing, we'll see where we finish."
Burnley face a reunion with former boss Howe at the Goldsands Stadium tomorrow with only Brian Stock an injury concern.

STANFORD -- There was high drama Saturday at Stanford Stadium, at least during pregame warm-ups. Mother Nature ultimately took pity on participants and spectators alike, and the downpour stopped before kickoff.
Stanford wasn't nearly as considerate of its guest.
The fifth-ranked Cardinal opened defense of its Pac-12 title in impressive fashion, dominating early and holding off No. 23 Arizona State for a 42-28 victory.
The final score was misleading: Stanford led 39-7 entering the fourth quarter, then allowed three consecutive touchdowns before securing its 11th consecutive win -- the second-longest streak in the nation.
"I'm not going to apologize: I don't care about style points," Cardinal coach David Shaw said. "We played one great half, a solid third quarter and a bad fourth quarter. It wasn't for a lack of effort."
During an overpowering 45 minutes, Stanford's defense lived up to its billing as one of the nation's best.
It harassed quarterback Taylor Kelly, stuffed ASU's running game and watched the Sun Devils contribute to their own demise with too many dropped passes to count.
"We put a lot of pressure up front because we were able to shut down the running game," end Ben Gardner said.
The Cardinal's offense was equally effective, converting an ASU turnover into a touchdown with nine minutes left in the first quarter and powering to a 29-0 halftime lead.
The first-half scoring included strikes of 17 and 30 yards from quarterback Kevin Hogan to receiver Ty Montgomery, who recorded the first two-touchdown game of his career.
Stanford (3-0, 1-0) also registered big gains on an end-around by receiver Kelsey Young (32 yards) and receptions by receiver Devon Cajuste (34 and 26).
"All that stuff comes from the running game," Montgomery said.
Arizona State's problems began on its first possession. On third down -- and under heavy pressure by Stanford linebacker James Vaughters -- Kelly threw an ill-advised pass that landed in the hands of Stanford end Josh Mauro.
Mauro charged 25 yards before being hauled down from behind at ASU's 17. Three plays later, Hogan hit Montgomery on the right side, and the junior wideout scooted through a crease to give Stanford a 7-0 lead.
The ensuing possession established Stanford's dominance. The 90-yard touchdown drive included a bevy of short runs and two big plays: Young's end-around and a diving 34-yard catch by Cajuste.
Tyler Gaffney eventually barreled in from the 1 with two minutes left in the first quarter.
"We didn't have our team ready, and the first half was obviously embarrassing," ASU coach Todd Graham said.
Stanford's lead grew to 39-7 at the end of the third. Then the Cardinal got sloppy, and ASU found its rhythm.
The Sun Devils scored 21 points in eight minutes and forced Shaw to reinsert Hogan, who had been removed.
His 27-yard bootleg run in the final minutes extinguished any chance of an ASU comeback.
"There's definitely a feeling of disappointment," Gardner said. "We're glad we got this one, but we have to take more pride in playing our style of football."
By rule, Reynolds will miss the first half of the next game, which is Saturday against Washington State in Seattle (7 p.m. kickoff on ESPN).
"I agree with the call," Shaw said.

Evolution Hoax
The strengthening of the Qur'anic law, the renovation of people takes place in this SECOND THOUSAND. The just witnesses of the truthfulness of this cause are the existence of the Prophet 'Isa (as) and the MAHDI IN THIS THOUSAND. (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani, vol. 1, p. 611)
Those among the nation of Allah's Messenger (saas) are highly perfected in faith. It does not matter whether they are few in number after the passing of one thousand years of the Messenger of Allah's (saas) death. THE COMING OF THE MAHDI AFTER 1,000 YEARS SERVES THIS PURPOSE. Our Prophet (saas), the last Messenger, gave the glad tidings of his holy coming. The Prophet 'Isa (as), on the other hand, will come after 1,000 years. (Imam Rabbani, Letters of Rabbani, vol. 1, p. 440)
Allah will raise for this community at the beginning of EVERY HUNDRED YEARS THE ON E WHO WILL RENOVATE ITS RELIGION FOR IT. (Sunan Abu Dawud)
AT THE HEAD OF EACH CENTURY, ALLAH SENDS A MUJADDID among the ulama of this community who revives the Shariah [the essence of Qur'anic moral values and the Sunnah of our Prophet (saas)]. (Imam Rabbani)
"IN EVERY CENTURY, ALLAH SENDS A MUJADDID (SOMEONE WHO RENOVATES RELIGION." (Bediuzzaman Said Nursi, Risale-i Nur Collection, Barla Letters, 119)
"Exactly after a century, the cures of the Risale-i Nur appear all around and serve to the very same purpose… With the meaning fortified by the clear expression of the hadith, it is our conviction that, in terms of reviving the rel igion, the Risale-i Nur is in the position of a mujaddid." (Barla Letters, 121)
It now occurs to mind that if each of the letters "mim" and "lam" bearing the gemination mark are counted as two, the people WHO WILL DISSOLVE THE OPPRESSIONS A CENTURY LATER MAY BE THE DISCIPLES OF THE MAHDI." (Bediuzzaman, Risale-i Nur Collection, First Ray, p. 85)
People will gather around the Mahdi in 1400. (Risalat al-Khuruj al-Mahdi, p. 108)
"Why did the Companions of the Prophet …suppose a fact that would occur one thousand four hundred years later to be close to their century…(The Words, 'The Twenty-fourth Word: Third Branch)
The facts revealed in the address of Damascus that glance at the destiny of the Islamic world after the Hegira 1371... may be not now but 30-40 YEARS LATER, in order to fully equip science and, knowledge acquired through arts, science and skills, the goodness of civilization and those three forces, and to overcome the nine obstacles, he sent inclination for investigating the truth, moderation and love for human beings to the fronts of those nine foes. By Allah's Will, he will demolish them AFTER HALF A CENTURY. ("The Damascus Sermon," p. 25)
"In [13]71, the Sun began to rise (al-Fajr as-Sadiq) or will rise. Even if this is only the initial redness in the horizon, in 30-40 YEARS THE SECOND ENLIGHTENMENT (al-Fajr al-Kazib) WILL APPEAR." ("The Damascus Sermon," p. 23)
According to Bediuzzaman, the years when al-Fajr as-Sadiq will be:
1371 + 30 = 1401 = 1981
1371 + 40 = 1411 = 1991
In this period there are such prevalent movements so that may THE EXPECTED PERSON WHO IS DUE TO COME AFTER A CENTURY emerge... (Kastamonu Letters, p. 57)

World Cup teams embrace science of success as they prepare for combat in Brazil
Every four years, the latest in football equipment is showcased at the World Cup but, with the introduction of goal-line technology, the game will be changed forever.
Goal-line technology
The rivalry between England and Germany provided more than its fair share of talking points over the years but it seems that two incidents 44 years apart changed the way the game is officiated forever. Frank Lampard's disallowed goal against Germany in the 2010 World Cup opened up old wounds as memories of Geoff Hurst's phantom goal in the 1966 World Cup final came rushing back and became the final straw of contentious goal-line disputes.
For the first time, goal-line technology will be implemented for a World Cup, with all stadiums in Brazil fitted with systems that will determine whether a ball has crossed the white line, instead of linesmen and referees. GoalControl-4D, made by German company Goal Control, uses 14 cameras and image-processing computers that notify the referee within one second of the ball crossing the line.
"The cameras are connected to a powerful image processing computer system, which tracks the movement of all objects on the pitch and filters out the players, referees and all disturbing objects," a Goal Control spokesman said. "When the ball passes the goal line, the system sends a vibration and optical signal to the officials' watch."
Criticism of the use of goal-line technology and video replays was largely based on slowing the pace of the game but, to minimise disruption, there are no video replays, only a message sent within a second to a referee notifying them of a goal. The technology was successfuly trialled in last year's Confederations Cup in Brazil but don't expect it in Australia any time soon as, dependent on stadium facilities, it can cost up to $440,000.
The days of black leather boots are long gone. Prepare your eyes for those that will be on show in Brazil this June because they're bright, lairy and most weigh about the same as a packet of chips.
Beginning with Lionel Messi's feet, adidas F50s strive for pace and weigh just 165 grams to make strikers that little bit quicker. They shed the wastage of standard boots and a synthetic leather exterior provides the comfort while a thin layer of grip texture aids ball control, even in wet conditions. Even the stud alignment system, Speed Traxion, is designed to maximise bursts of speed and those quick changes of directions that give defenders nightmares. The aesthetics of the boot are part of adidas' black and white "battlepack" design, which draws inspiration from Brazil's native warriors.
Not to be outdone, Nike recently unveiled one of the most interesting boot designs, which, to the naked eye, looks like a sock with studs. Both the new Mercurials and the Magistas incorporate Nike's fly-knit technology with the option of a high-top design that adds stability to a boot made out of lightweight fabric. The lightweight Mercurial, worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, has thin cables woven into the side of the boot that connect with the heel support to have a slingshot effect that propels the stride. The fluro yellow Magista looks similar in design to the Mercurial but is made for playmakers with a knitted fabric exterior aimed at accuracy, so keep your eyes peeled for more placed finishes.
Sergio Aguero didn't leave one boot at home this tournament, it's just the design of the new Puma boots. Pink on the right, blue on the left, Puma's lightweight boot made from a microfibres weighs in at just 170g. It has a stability brace down the spine of the boot made to cater for attackers' tricks and turns.
For those who aren't so nimble, adidas' Nitrocharge is a unique design for industrious players like Steven Gerrard. A spring-like technology makes it easier for players to push off and sprint, which saves energy over their 90 minutes of grind. Extra padding on the heal and toe make those grinding tackles less risky, so don't be surprised if there's a few more nasty lunges in Brazil.
Puma's evoPower is made with the primary purpose of striking the ball perfectly. A foam cushioning provides a clean kicking surface while a stability frame under the foot allows the boot to flex with the motion and reduces weight. Expect Mario Balotelli striking from distance.
The ball:
The official ball for the 2014 World Cup, the Brazuca, was 2½ years in the making and, much to the popularity of strikers and goalkeepers alike, it's a stark contrast to the 2010 Jabulani. Unlike its predecessor's unpredictable flight path, the Brazuca is more predictable in the air due to deeper cuts in the seam of the ball – more than one millimetre – which create more drag, better accuracy and less wayward curves on a flat ball. It retains its shape in tropical rain.
It's little surprise that the tropical climate of Brazil has been the focal point for manufacturers who designed jerseys to combat the heat and humidity. With England on board with Brazil and Australia at Nike, Dri-FIT technology has never been more important as the three lions will play in the jungle. The jerseys have mesh cooling, laser-cut air holes and a mix of cotton and recycled polyester that draws sweat off the skin.
Puma, which makes the kits of Italy, Uruguay and Cameroon, designed their jerseys with with moisture-wicking fabrics and athletic taping woven into the fabric that is said to massage the skin and provide more efficient energy supply to the muscles.
Adidas' ultralight polyester material called adizero is 40 per cent lighter than their jerseys supplied for the 2010 World Cup, which will be welcome news for fans of Argentina, Spain and Germany in the heat of Brazil. There's also breathable compression with their uniforms to provide muscle support.

No, these are fresh truffles. They were in the ground only a day ago!
Yes, I hope to use the offcuts to infuse in a bottle of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil to make my own truffle oil.
I think it would be a good way to preserve some of the truffle flavour and use at a later time as the fresh truffles only have a shelf-life of three weeks, and the winter (white) truffles are three times more expensive than the black summer truffles.
I was planning, at some stage, to baste some peeled potatoes in truffle oil and roast them.
Thanks for your suggestion of mashed truffle potatoes!

AN alleged bigamist from Burnley has also been accused of taking part in a sham marriage six months earlier.
Emma-Louise Evans is said to have taken part in a 'marriage of convenience' with Kazeem Kolade at Blackburn on July 2, 2012.
The 33-year-old is alleged to have undertaken the wedding ceremony to assist with the commission of a 'breach in immigration law', by allowing Kolade to remain in this country by deception.
Evans, of Hufling Lane, Burnley, is then accused of taking part in a bigamous marriage to Stephen Akinseye, in her home town, on January 8, 2013.
She did not enter a plea to either charge when she appeared before Burnley magistrates.
The magistrates decided that the case should be heard before a crown court judge and she was sent for trial on unconditional bail until June 2.
Evans has worked as part-time babysitter and is a former student of Fearns Community College at Stacksteads and Accrington and Rossendale College.

Venture capitalists pumped more money into San Diego start-up companies in 2012 than they did the year before, bucking a national trend of declining venture funding.
Two reports released Friday found gains in venture capital flowing into local biotech and medical device companies, as well as increased funding for San Diego software firms.
The Money Tree report by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association pegged last year's venture investment in San Diego at $1.12 billion in 113 companies. That was up from $930 million invested in 101 companies in 2011.

Top five deals in fourth quarter
- Ambit Biosciences $22.2 million
- Lithera $20.6 million
- Tandem Diabetes Care $20 million
- Cebix $18 million
- Auspex Pharmaceuticals $17.5 million

"San Diego venture capital investment has surpassed $1 billion for the first time since 2008," said Bill Molloie, a partner with PricewaterhouseCoopers' life science practice locally.
A second report -- VentureSource from Dow Jones and Ernst & Young -- also showed growth in San Diego, with biotech and medical device firms raising $669 million, up from $516 million a year earlier.
Nationwide, venture capital investing dipped 15 percent to $29.7 billion last year in 3,363 deals, according to the VentureSource report.
"One thing to keep in mind is 2011 was a fantastic year with $35 billion invested," said Jeff Grabow, West region venture capital leader for Ernst & Young. "You have to go back to 2001 to find another year when there was that much invested nationally.
But other factors also contributed to the year-over-year decline in venture funding nationwide, according to the MoneyTree report.
"General economic uncertainty continues to hinder capital investments, and venture capitalists are no different," said Tracy Lefteroff, managing partner of the venture capital practice at PricewaterhouseCoopers. "As the number of new funds being raised continues to shrink, venture capitalists are being more discriminating with where they're willing to place new bets."
San Diego differed from the national trends in a number of ways. For starters, the region saw increases in investments in life science companies -– which was not the case nationally, where life sciences investments shrank 14 percent.
"There has been a lot of warning from the venture community that things like the regulatory environment, the amount of capital needed to get these companies' products to market, all these factors have taken their toll on investing in this space -- even though everybody acknowledges there are tremendous opportunities," Lefteroff said.
San Diego's increase in venture capital funding for life science firms likely stems from the experienced management teams running biotech and medical device start-ups here, said Molloie. It also is linked to the quality of the science coming out of local biotech research centers and universities.
"We're not following the national trends," said Molloie. "And I think in the venture capital community for those focused on life sciences, this is an easy place to invest because of the strength of the technology and the strength of the entrepreneurs."
In addition, the youngest San Diego start-ups continue to find venture capital investors willing to back them. Nationally, venture capitalists have been focusing their money on more mature companies.
Molloie said 57 percent of San Diego venture capital investment went to start-up and early stage companies in 2012, up from 47 percent in 2011.
Nationally, seed and early stage investments decreased slightly to 32 percent of all money invested, compared with 33 percent in 2011.
Outside of life sciences, software investment dollars increased in San Diego last year, with $157 million in 16 deals. That compares with $112 million in 15 deals the prior year.
In the fourth quarter, 24 local start-ups raised $175 million -– a decline from the fourth quarter 2011 when 25 companies raised $296 million, according to the Money Tree survey.
Looking ahead, the Money Tree report doesn't forecast much improvement in the nationwide venture capital landscape in 2013. But Molloie is more optimistic about San Diego's outlook, in part because of new venture capital funds being raised that focus on life science investing.
"I do think there is a lot of activity with fund formation that will keep 2013 at least on par with 2012," he said.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Topic: Post-Whipple Problems - Please Advise
Hi everyone, my father (age 76) had a successful Whipple operation in November. It was quite extensive, and he had about 1/2 of his pancreas removed. His CT scans since then have showed no recurrence of cancer, and he is not taking chemo.
However, he has abdominal pain, no appetite at all, and is losing weight. He gets a stomach ache every time he eats, and can't eat at all in the evenings. He also runs fever periodically for apparently no reason. He is very weak and is just generally declining - quickly.
The doctors say his stomach seems to be retaining too much fluid, but that's about the extent of their explanation and they are offering little help in the way of medication and/or diet. We are not satisfied with this, and we are willing to go anywhere in the USA to find a doctor or a clinic that can help him.
Can anyone recommend a doctor or clinic with experience in this disease that will review his case? Does anyone have any recommendations regarding diet, etc? Any information or advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Early College High Schools are partnerships between school districts and colleges that are innovatively designed to blend high school and college education using a dual credit framework.
The schools are designed for youth to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and an associate degree (or up to two years of credit toward a bachelor's degree).
Several national studies have found that secondary students who attended early college high schools (ECHS) graduated, enrolled in college, earned college credit, and attained associate degrees at significantly higher rates than their peers in traditional public schools.
Since 2008, the Alamo Colleges and three local school districst – San Antonio ISD, Judson ISD, and Comal ISD – have produced much stronger performance outcomes than their national counterparts. In 2013, 82% of Alamo Colleges ECHS graduates attained an associate degree or technical certificate in addition to their high school diploma, which 350% higher than the national average. Additionally, Alamo Colleges' ECHS graduates earned an average number of 58 college credits – 22 average college credits or 61% more than the national average.
Beginning in Fall 2014, Palo Alto College, one the Alamo Colleges, will partner with five public school districts and one charter school, to begin enrolling freshman-level students in early college high schools. Students participating in the program can compete their high school diploma while earning up to 60 semester credit hours toward an associates degree by their high school graduation. All initiatives have been approved and designated by Texas Education Agency and there is no cost to students enrolled in the program. Palo Alto College's partnering school districts include the following:
