My teenage daughter is a true lover of any type of Asian food. Recently she has decided that she prefers chicken and seafood to red meat.
It has always been a dream of mine to visit Tahiti Island.
These sliders celebrates the collaboration of the American chicken sandwich with the bold and flamboyant flavors of Shanghai China.
The Korean Gochujang Sauce and the South Korean Cuisine has inspired me to create these delicious sliders. The name Gangwon-do is a province of South Korea.
We love chicken cacciatore but do not find ourselves having it very often. This was my alternative and also an attempt to get my kids to eat burgers.

ONLINE organic store Devlin Rhodes has teamed up with BCoT to open a shop in Basingstoke's Top of The Town called Aspiral.
The new business venture offers a range of organic, eco and sustainable products at a premises in Church Street that has been empty for several years, following the closure of The Real Brazil restaurant.
Basingstoke and Deane Mayor Councillor Roger Gardiner, accompanied by his Mayoress wife Tricia, officiated by cutting a ribbon to declare the shop open.
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council had approached BCoT to see if it would be interested in a two-year subsidised lease to promote student enterprise and to help rejuvenate the Top of The Town area.
Now, BCoT students will be encouraged to use the space to pilot their own projects or sell their work, alongside temporary pop-up shops.
Devlin Rhodes, run by Tara Bowers, based at The Innovation Centre, on Basing View, will be an anchor tenant in the shop on a permanent basis.
Delighted with the new venture, which chimes in well with the college's green credentials, BCoT principal Anthony Bravo said: "This is such an exciting opportunity for the college and for our local community.
"We are delighted to have Devlin Rhodes partnering us, with their fairtrade reputation, and to be able to offer our students a real enterprise space to test their ideas.
"We want Aspiral to become self-financing so that it continues long after the current two-year lease period ends."
Very happy with the arrangement, Ms Bowers, said: "This is a positive step for our business. I think this is great because I wouldn't be able to have a high street shop without being in collaboration.
"This really is a collaboration. It's not just a landlord-tenant set up – it's a real partnership with the college. We really hope that the community embraces the enterprise opportunity Aspiral offers and supports the work of our home-grown entrepreneurs."
The shop also offers space to aspiring business owners to have a pop-up shop to try out their enterprise in a high street setting.
The first to open a pop-up shop at Aspiral is Linda Haskings, who runs an online business called Identity Papers from her Cliddesden Road home, specialising in bespoke printing and hand-made gifts and gift boxes.
Linda described being based at the shop for four weeks as a privilege.
"It's fabulous for me to have an opportunity to have a presence in a high street," said Linda. "And it's also fabulous for me to be able get behind something I really believe in, because I think the pop-up movement is fantastic for businesses in their early stages."

OROVILLE — When Dan Goswick read a small newspaper ad about a wood carving group, it sparked a hobby that would occupy much of his retirement and earn the nickname Wizard of Gos.
When Goswick called Dorothy Creamer about the group, he told her he had never done any wood carving.
She told him to go ahead and come to the meeting, and the other members would show him how it is done.
That's the way they did it then, and that's the way they have done it ever since.
"We have novices, we have people who have carved for years, and we have people who have won awards," Goswick said. "We are just a group of people who like to carve and enjoy each other's company."
Dorothy and Bernie Creamer started the group at their home in Durham. When they moved away, Goswick continued the group at his home in Oroville in 2002.
They meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to noon in a gazebo-like structure in Goswick's back yard on Pine Oaks Road.
Attendance is strictly at each member's call, and the only dues collected are an about $10-a-quarter donation that buys the doughnuts, fruit and coffee served at the meetings.
They also have a couple of band saws, a collection of carving tools and a library of carving books and magazines that everyone can use.
New carvers can use the tools when they start until they find out which they prefer.
Some carry their tools in wooden boxes and some in leather tool belts.
Some carvers buy tools, and some make their own tools that are a variety of knives, chisels and sanding instruments.
Raul Morales just joined the group, and Thursday he was working on his first piece, a small cowboy boot.
"I want to carve wood spirits, but you got to start somewhere," Morales said.
A carver starts by picking out a wood with the coloring and grain that will compliment the carving.
They get wood from woodpiles, wood objects or from supply stores.
Then they find or draw an outline of the object they want to carve on a block of wood, and cut it out with a band saw.
First, they round off the corners of the cutout, and then they refine the details and add more details.
Chris Green sat at the table intent on his carving Thursday. Green has carved for 40 to 50 years, since he was a kid. Most recently, he won a first-place and best-in-show for wood-carving at the Butte County Fair.
He also took a second-place for his "Hanging in There," a cowboy hanging onto a tree branch with his horse between his legs as they hang over a cliff.
Goswick showed a "Clinging Cross" he had carved, inspired by a woman who carved them for the volunteers working to clean up Katrina. The three-dimensional cross fits into the palm of your hand as your fingers intertwine in the cross.
"It's something you can do with small investment and be as creative as you want to be and work with a lot of nice folks," Green said.
Jim Townsend has just joined the group, but he has already started carving a figure of his father. He used an old photograph to transfer the outline of his father's face on the carving.
Townsend remembers his father carving on his porch in Tennessee. Townsend said the carving has been very difficult for him because he chose something above his skill level.
"I have found it's very difficult given my experience," Townsend said. "But these guys are all very accomplished," he said of the other carvers.
Don Button worked on a lion that had been started by Larry Tidwell for his son before he died earlier this year.
Button had worked with Tidwell, and now he has decided to finish the lion for his friend to give to the son.
Button said the carvers make a lot of things for their families and friends.
"A lot of it you just give away," Button said. "Otherwise you have to dust it."
Call Goswick at 532-4401 for more information about meetings.

wow. great shots! just curious, i havent been inside conseco, but what seats were you in for an angle like that?
Pacemates Looking fine as usual , thanks MR
Nothing of Fred Jones!?! I'm appalled....
But great photos nonetheless Mr. Magic
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
I need 2 get my camera phone...n take pics,lol
I got sweet seats for it 2!
Cool avator, MagicRat..... Can we see a bigger version?
pacer4ever, I sit low in the balcony, near center court......
These are great - Since this is a relatively "anonymous" forum, I have to ask: How did you get a good camera into Conseco? I'd love to take some shots at the Pacers/Clips game at Staples, but I'm a little worried about losing my new camera. Any thing I should be aware of?
Thanks for the awesome shots.
LA, there are no restrictions on still cameras, although they may be restrictions on long lenses. Video cameras are not allowed, period. I've taken my wife's SLR with a 300mm lens in to CFH without any questions asked.
Rat, thanks again for the tickets. I missed the captions on here, but I got a real kick out of the live captioning.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
I find it hard to take pictures during games.
hard to take pics? of course! ashley bidwell can do that 2 u!
What? None of MR's famous commentary/captioning?

One of the most pernicious myths about pop music is that singers with great voices are somehow more "real" than ones whose voices are merely very good. Certainly, vocals do count to some extent—but pop is not opera. It's about more than an impressive set of pipes. It's about operating in a world of, as Nitsuh Abebe puts it, symbols and gestures: Making an image, embodying a narrative, taking audiences on a journey.
But for some reason, it feels cheap to admit this, and doubly cheap to admit it in the context of a televised singing competition, which relies heavily on selling the "All you need is a voice and a dream" angle. Which is why it was so refreshing to see Nicki Minaj of American Idol gleefully destroy the notion of a vocal meritocracy on Twitter last night:
No, this is NOT a "singing competition". If that were the case, we'd judge w/blindfolds on. Presence, Look, Relatability, Authentic, etc.
— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) February 14, 2013
(And she threw in some subtle shade at The Voice while she was at it!)
Only a few weeks in, Nicki's already proven herself one of the best Idol judges since Simon, and her willingness to speak happily upend Idol talking points is one of the biggest reasons why.

Graduates from the Class of 2011 will have a 4.8 percent higher starting salary than their peers from the Class of 2010 did, a report released Wednesday found.
Starting salaries for 2011 graduates will average $51,018, compared to the average $48,661 2010 graduates received, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers annual Salary Survey.
The economic pick-up is good news for graduates who were among the hardest hit during the recession.
NACE Executive Director Marilyn Mackes said the increase is a "good indication" that the job market is becoming stronger for new college graduates.
Last year, the Class of 2010 earned a slightly lower starting salary than the class before it, although about 5 percent more graduates were able to find jobs, according to the 2010 NACE report.
Nearly all engineering disciplines saw average salary increases, most prevalently for petroleum engineering majors with an 8.1 percent increase to an $80,849 starting salary.
Most liberal arts disciplines saw an average increase, as well as social sciences. Psychology graduates saw a 23.8 increase.
Jeff Dagley, the coordinator for the GW Career Center, declined to comment on the survey's results and directed all questions to the media relations department.

Ratings for Dr. Roger W. Altman
I consulted with Dr. Altman with a reoccurring lesion on my lip which was previously treated by another dermatologist. He approached me in an aggressive manner, claiming, without cause, that I was at fault with lip licking and picking my lip and was therefore unable to offer a correct diagnosis. He had me schedule another appointment in six weeks, admonishing me to not touch, pick or do anything to my lip. My husband and I sat there shocked, taking this abuse in silence. This cruel behavior towards me left deep psychological wounds. He should not be allowed any contact with patients.
He is thorough, honest, has a great sense of humor, the best staff. I have been to other dermetologists but he is by far the best and he has got a new patient forever.
Being a melanoma survivor (original diagnosis in 77), I have been a patient of Dr. Altman for close to 20 years. This man is phenomenal in his ability to spot and treat dangerous areas. He is just as quick to reassure me that my area of concern is nothing. A truly gifted doctor!
I have been going to Dr Altman over 20 years. Coming from N.Y. state in 1979 to florida. I have had experience with several dermatologists and have found him to be the very best from the very start. I have considerable skin cancers and he has lengthened my life.
This doctor's competency and thoroughness has probably literally safed my life. Had it not been for his skills and attention to the many skin cancers he has removed, I do not believe I would be alive today. His staff has always accommodated my needs to have the doctor see me, even on short notice. The trip of 52 miles to put my care in his hands is absolutely worth the time and I would go nowhere else. To call this man a "fine doctor" would be an understatement. Anyone requiring dermatological and/or surgical cancer care should put themselves in his care without reservation. I cannot recommend higher than 5 stars or I would.
offered to treat me for cash payment waited over an hour to be seen
I have had numerous basal cell carcinomas over the past 30yrs and have seen several dermatologists until I found Dr Altman. The quality of his care is wonderful. He is honest and straight forward. He also has surrounded himself with a great staff. He has also worked with me in times when I have had money problems!! I hope he never retires.
After sailing for 3 years, I went to Dr. Altman for a skin cancer check. He found an abnormal mole on the back of my heel that turned out to be a malignant melanoma. I was very impressed with his knowledge and expertise. He treated me on the spot and it turned out to be life-saving!
I went to Dr. Altman for a problem with the back of my head and after multiple short, uninvolved examinations he was unable to help me. He acted as though he didn't care that I was in pain and paid very little attention to my problem. I would not recommend him to anyone.

The Challenge
Creating an Energy Descent Action Plan and/or the intentional relocalisation of a community will raise a lot of questions. How much arable land surrounds the settlement, how much food, fuel and fibre might it produce, what productive role might back gardens, allotments and new urban market gardens play? How much energy infrastructure is needed, and how much could realistically be installed? Failing to ask these questions will hamper attempts to think strategically about relocalisation.
Core Text
While in Transition we may not always have all the answers, it is vital that in our work we ask the right questions. As has already been discussed, a Transitioned, low carbon, more localised economy will not come about by accident, it is a collective design project. It demands that we think strategically, because nobody else, none of the statutory bodies who you would imagine would be doing this work, appear to be actually doing it. Several Transition initiatives are starting to do some very interesting work looking strategically at the practicalities and the possibilities of the localisation process.
In 2008, Transition Stroud produced a document called Food Availability in Stroud District: considered in the context of climate change and peak oil for their Local Strategic Partnership Think Tank on Global Change. It looked at the land around Stroud and to what extent it would be able to feed the local population (110,000 people). Using DEFRA data for the area and its current patterns of land use, and assuming a more seasonal, less wasteful diet in the future, they concluded:
"In terms of food self-sufficiency, much more work is needed to assess both food requirements of the population and the food production capacity of the farms. However, in broad terms it is likely that the district could be self sufficient in meat and dairy products (although it may not produce enough cereals for animal feed) and it probably has the capacity to produce much more fruit and vegetables. However, the district is unlikely to be able to produce enough basic carbohydrate (cereals for bread, potatoes etc) or sugars to meet people's basic needs. This is only a preliminary analysis and further work is planned".
As part of creating its Energy Descent Action Plan, Transition Town Totnes undertook two detailed studies, 'Totnes and district renewable energy budget' and 'Can Totnes and District feed itself?' The former was based on data from a report done a couple of years previously which was reworked and updated. 'Can Totnes and district feed itself?' was a detailed piece of work, carried out with Mark Thurstain-Goodwin of GIS mapping consultancy Geofutures and Simon Fairlie, editor of 'The Land' magazine. Part of it included looking at the context in which Totnes sits, and the pressures on any produce it, which generated the map above, showing that although it may see itself as a market town with a distinctive rural hinterland, it falls within both the food footprint of Plymouth to the west and Torbay to the east. The conclusions of the study were that Totnes and district could feed itself, but that it would not be able to do that as well as heat all local homes with wood fuel, and it also noted that producing vegetables is the easy part, that the greater challenges lie in producing grains, fats and sugars.[Insert box]
Transition in Action: An Economic Resilience Blueprint by Fiona Ward.
This project, being driven by Transition Training and Consulting, aims to assess the local resources, and explore the vulnerabilities and opportunities in the Forest of Dean district in the light of climate change, peak oil (energy security) and wider economic uncertainty. It will identify and quantify a number of economic opportunities, and help existing businesses and social entrepreneurs to act on them. It will produce and begin to implement an integrated 'economic resilience blueprint' working with key local organisations.
It will address three issues: energy security, a sustainable local economy and re-localising food production. Working with our project partners MAIDeN, Geofutures and SWEA we will consolidate and analyse existing data and knowledge about the district, with additional data collection activity initiated as required. Local organisations, interested parties and other experts will be involved in workshops and analysis throughout, with innovative ideas from other places used to stimulate discussion, such as local energy companies and food hubs.
Clearly at this stage we cannot accurately predict the most viable opportunities, but once the data collection and analysis stage is complete, we propose that a working group of local people is formed to take forward the most viable ideas, and to shape at least 1 economic project within each of the 3 key areas before the conclusion of this project phase. Its benefits will include the identification of 3 key catalyst projects, a better understanding of the areas vulnerabilities, stronger partnerships between local organisastions and a better co-ordinated and better informed response to the challenges facing the Forest.
The direct beneficiaries of the Blueprint will be the organisations and public bodies that shape and influence the future of the district, and whoever will benefit from the 3 new economic activities that are started in this phase of the project. As the economic blueprint is increasingly implemented, the indirect beneficiaries will include businesses, smallholders and individuals living or working in a district that has more understanding of, and control over, its critical food systems, energy and local economy.
Michael Dunwell, who initiated this project on behalf of Transition Forest of Dean is working with TTandC to secure the final bit of funding for this project.[Close box]
East Anglia Food Link (EAFL) and Transition Norwich did a similar study as part of Transition Norwich's 'Resilience Plan' for the city. Their conclusion was that Norwich could feed itself, and that all it required was food grown within 6 miles of the city centre (due in part to their ability to grow cereals which produce high levels of calories on relatively little ground). They argued that the principal obstacles to this happening are the lack of storage and processing facilities which prevent locally grown food from feeding local people. They also argued that a revival in market gardening would be a key part of any strategy. Their study was based on DEFRA's land use data, and it assumed a simpler, more seasonal diet, lower in meat and dairy products.
What is fascinating about the Norwich project is that it led to the identification of several key projects that would kickstart the food relocalisation process, which were then worked into a successful Local Food Fund bid (see box). I asked Tully Wakeman who co-ordinated the Norwich research why such a study is important. He told me:
"It is important to have a sense of the whole food picture for a settlement such as Norwich. A trap a lot of NGOs fall into is overthinking about vegetables. The tendency for people to equate renewable energy just with electricity rather than the range of different ways we use energy is even truer when we look at food. Only one tenth of what we consume, in calorific terms, comes from fruit and vegetables, yet that is often the main focus for community NGOs looking at food security. Yet where is the other 90% going to come from? Growing vegetables in gardens, allotments, community gardens and so on offer a degree of food security and can happen relatively rapidly. However the other 90% requires the rebuilding of the infrastructure required for growing, processing, cleaning, storing, milling and distributing grains and cereals, and that takes longer and requires more planning".
I also asked Mark Thurstain-Goodwin of Geofutures for his thoughts as to why this kind of work matters. "This is vital for key strategic decision making", he told me. "It enables us to look at relocalisation efforts not in isolation, but to really get a sense of how different settlements overlap with each other". But is this something that community groups can do on their own? Mark is doubtful:
"There is some of the key data that you can get access to, and this can be useful, but it can also be misleading. What you really need is a data geek, and there aren't that many people around who understand this stuff. Much of the data is held by local authorities, and so doing this work in partnership with them would be the ideal. While a lot of decision-makers can see the point of this, none are yet undertaking it. For this kind of work to really accelerate and gain traction it needs to be low cost, and that needs initial investment".
A project proposed by Transition Training and Consulting which would have worked with Forest of Dean to do a resilience analysis for the area, and which would have developed many of the tools discussed above, failed to proceed due to insufficient funding. Hopefully awareness of this vital aspect of Transition will grow and the much needed tools will be developed.[Insert box]
Transition in Action: Transition Norwich's Local Food Projects
Transition Norwich Food Group has combined with East Anglia Food Link to secure £137K of funding from the Local Food Fund to create and run several schemes designed with food resilience in mind:
2 market garden schemes: these have been set up to provide fresh, organic vegetables to designated subscribers. These comprise a 4 acre field on a local farm, 6 miles from Norwich City Centre, and a 2 acre site on the Hewett School playing field (a large comprehensive school in Norwich). Both sites are supported by the same full time paid employee who has been appointed to co-ordinate and oversee the growing and distribution. The first full growing season starts Spring 2011. A formal Co-operative Board of Trustees has been set up, drawn from members of Transition Norwich, and 100 'subscribers' (who each buy into the scheme by ordering a vegetable box). The produce from the school site will provide vegetables to the on-site school kitchen, and the rest will be sold to people who live in the immediate neighbourhood. Part of the capital funding has already purchased a tractor for use on both sites.
A Norwich flour mill: this will be installed in a City centre location, to mill locally grown wheat (and other cereals). The electric mill will be capable of milling 1 tonne of grain a day. A good baking and distribution system already exists in Norwich, with a well known independent wholefood wholesaler and retailer on board to sell and promote the newly branded 'Norwich Loaf' which will be created from the flour mill produce.
An oats and beans project – brokering with other local small farmers to grow beans and oats for local consumption, with a shift away from other cash crops which are otherwise sold on the open market.
These projects are a tangible expression of a detailed study published by East Anglia Food Link in Spring 2010, which showed that it would be possible to feed the population of Norwich and its suburbs within a radius of 6 miles of the City, if shifts in growing and diet were achieved. This report resulted in considerable local press coverage and debate within the farming community.
Transition Norwich also supports and celebrates an existing 'Grown Our Own' project – a community allotment scheme supported by Norwich City Council, where members are able to rent small land strips and use shared tools, seeds, and facilities, with expert advice from the scheme co-ordinator.
We have also helped in the creation of a community garden – Grapes Hill Community Garden – where a group of neighbours have combined to create a community garden behind their terraced city houses, on the site of an old car park. We see all these projects as a small part of creating exemplars of infrastructure for a more resilient Norwich, which can be easily replicated later by others. There is no copyright on creating resilience![Close box]
The Solution
This is specialist work, and your initiative will likely need some help with this. Seek the support and engagement of local universities/specialists, or seek funding to resource it. Don't take this work on at a depth greater than you feel you can manage. If done well, the data generated is hugely useful to relocalisation efforts, providing a strategic underpinning to effort to stimulate social enterprise and create key strategic local infrastructure.

The stock market has feelings, you know. They are not readily apparent to the majority of the population but, to some, diagnosing the market's inner feelings comes naturally. Day in and day out, emotional outbursts here are supposed to be the norm -- and, when they are not, it raises a red flag.
This is precisely where we enter the new week -- full of the hope and promise that politicians have drug-shot into the veins of the market. In this way, perhaps investors have been profitable through these couple of holiday days free of news conferences. No emotional outbursts were present last week; all we saw was a cool and calm march higher on thin volume that, interestingly, did pick up Friday. It's as if the market is concealing its real feelings and acting in way that assures interested observers that all is fine and dandy. This is a precarious situation, that's for darn sure.
On the outside:
â—Ź Stocks are in a confirmed uptrend.
â—Ź Stocks are regaining their 10-week moving averages.
â—Ź Companies are already starting to announce special dividends to compensate shareholders for looming higher taxes. They wouldn't want to lose any more of that shareholder base.
â—Ź The S&P 500 and NYSE have closed above their respective 200-day moving averages for four consecutive sessions.
â—Ź Hedge funds continue to maintain net long exposure to growth-sensitive areas of the market, such as consumer-discretionary, while shunning defensive sectors like consumer staples.
â—Ź 'Tis the season for investment-bank prediction pieces. Per the usual, almost all are optimistic or, in jargon-land, "cautiously optimistic." This forces investors to balance near-term fiscal-cliff risk, both real and headline, with apparent opportunity via multiple and earnings expansion.
â—Ź Apple (AAPL) and its heavy rear end have finally stopped dropping. With that comes a budding view that the Nasdaq could get atop its 200-day moving average.
But on the inside:
â—Ź I learned enough on Black Thursday, Black Friday and the weekend to say: "Wait a minute -- forget that seasonal hype and consumer confidence are at a high for the year. The holiday season has really only commenced on a so-so note." Large-ticket door-busters in electronics lay unsold in Sears (SHLD), Target (TGT), and Wal-Mart (WMT) into the weekend. That signals something is wrong. By the way, if you are wondering, American Eagle (AEO) was a winner, whereas Zumiez (ZUMZ) was a loser. Both of these names are due to announce earnings this week. I don't want to overwhelm you with holiday trades -- only offer the more impactful opportunities.
â—Ź The market acknowledges that its momentary bout of enthusiasm came amid a lack of fresh "fiscal cliff" developments. It also knows this dynamic is set to change, and possibly quickly.
â—Ź The flow of data could become incrementally more negative for stocks, thus reprising the opinion that fiscal-cliff effects have begun, and that they are far-reaching. For instance: Core durable-goods and consumer-confidence numbers are the building clouds on the near-term horizon, while consumer-spending data may fit too comfortably with initial reads on the holiday season to date.
Last week I got more constructive on the market. I admit this was a rather short-term call, borne of a valuation sanity check and a cold, hard review of data that were stronger than what I had expected. I am appreciative of the headline risk that's now back in the fold, but I feel it would be reasonable to stay exposed on the long side of the book until the markets slaps us in the face. Still, be prepared to move fast at the first sign that the thesis I have presented, or one you yourself hold dear, is being negatively uprooted on a fundamental level.

How do you chill your fine spirits without diluting all those wonderfully complex flavors? Of course ice promises great things, but it always ends up letting you down with a watery mess. Until now, those of us looking for a cool tipple have had to settle for an experience that starts well, but ends in disappointment. Sure, you could forego the ice and take it neat; but you're robbed of the thrill that subtly-chilled liquor can bring when it warms on the palate. Either way, it's a frustrating concession.
They say the devil is compromise. The boys at Hammerstone say, to hell with the devil and his annoying little sidekick – compromise. With our handcrafted Whiskey Disks™ you can finally have your proverbial cake and drink it too. Simply freeze one of our soapstone disks, and then add it to your next drink. You'll enjoy a slight chill with no watered-down taste; perfection in a glass. It's a simple, beautiful solution to a downright pesky problem. Leave it to a couple of rough-cut stonemasons from New England to give the devil his due.

Brewers acquire Minor Leaguer in swap with A's
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Brewers traded Minor League reliever Darren Byrd to the A's on Wednesday for third baseman Stephen Parker, a 25-year-old left-handed hitter who will head to Triple-A Nashville.
Parker was Oakland's fifth-round Draft pick in 2009 out of BYU, and has batted .277 with 43 home runs and 262 RBIs in four professional seasons. His best year was 2010 in the hitter-friendly Class A California League, where Parker hit .296 with 21 home runs and 98 RBIs.
Last season, Parker batted .256 with seven home runs and 47 RBIs in 99 games with Triple-A Sacramento. The Brewers had an opening at Nashville after veteran infielder Bobby Crosby elected free agency on Monday.
Byrd, 26, is a right-hander who has pitched exclusively in relief at Double-A Huntsville in the past two seasons. He briefly pitched in Milwaukee's big league camp before the team returned him to the Minors on March 7.

Plans in the works to create a Mental Health Court
YAKIMA, Wash. -- You've heard of drug court and DUI court in Yakima County, but now there are plans to create a mental health court. The program could let mentally ill criminals out of jail to get treatment.
It also means they could live near you.
For most criminals, jail is only temporary. But when they get out they don't always stay out -- especially the mentally ill.
"We call them frequent fliers," said said Yakima County Court Administrator Harold Delia. "Just keep coming back and never treat the cause. Just the symptom."
Delia says the cause would be addressed in what he calls Mental Health Court.
It would rehabilitate those whose mental health is worse than the crime committed. Criminals would get out of jail and, instead, live among you and me, but is it safe?
"We put them in jail, but usually they get released pending a hearing. What this will allow us to do is make them accountable. We will watch them every week. In reality, this probably makes them more accountable and the community safer," Delia said.
Each department within law and justice is on board. In fact, both the prosecutors and public defenders office are lending their services at no cost. Comprehensive mental health would prescribe medicine and other services through medicaid and insurance. The jail would provide transportation.
The only real cost comes from the court. Delia estimates those weekly check-ups would be less than 50-thousand dollars a year -- far less than the $400,000 it would take to house them. Ultimately saving your tax dollars and helping those who need it.
Administrators would hand pick inmates for the program. Violent or extremely aggressive criminals won't qualify.
The pilot program would start with 10 inmates.
County Commissioners still have to approve the budget. If it goes through it could start before summer.

Although the Federal Reserve has made progress in striving toward greater transparency, there's still quite a bit about the central bank that we don't know. That fact sometimes leads to speculation about what the Fed is up to and what it might intend.
Such is the case with word that Chairman Ben Bernanke won't attend the annual Jackson Hole conference, held by the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City in Grand Teton National Park.
The Jackson Hole Economic Policy Symposium, attended by central bankers from around the globe, has been used for important speeches in recent years. At the gathering last August, Bernanke signaled that the Fed would begin a new round of so-called quantitative easing. That has translated into $85 billion in monthly asset purchases aimed at supporting the economy.
According to a Fed spokesperson, "The chairman is currently not planning to attend because of a personal scheduling conflict." That was the extent of the Fed's explanation. The conference is tentatively scheduled for late August.
More than a conflict?
John Silvia, chief economist with Wells Fargo, says there's possibly more than meets the eye. Says Silvia: "I trust it is not his health." Silvia says the decision to stay out of the spotlight gives Bernanke's eventual successor a freer hand to implement policy initiatives.
Bernanke's term as chairman expires early next year.
Silvia says it is hard to imagine what would be more important for Bernanke than to attend the conference, which has been held at the park for three decades.
No shortage of opportunities to speak
Taking another view, chief economist Diane Swonk with Mesirow Financial believes it is probably only a schedule conflict and nothing more. "I would never put too much weight into it," Swonk says. "Remember, the reason they started there was then-Chairman (Paul) Volker liked to fly-fish."
There are plenty of Fed conferences where officials can make policy pronouncements, Swonk says. For instance, last year there was a similar schedule conflict and the conference was shifted to help Bernanke to attend. As for whether he seeks reappointment or departs as scheduled next year, Swonk says it is likely Bernanke will likely leave the job and "return to Princeton or take a break."
The next chance for reporters to pose questions to Bernanke is at the regular news conference at the end of a two-day policy meeting in mid-June.

Statement of Chairman on the Creation of the Phase II Tax District for Rail to Dulles
Oct. 9, 2009
Today I am pleased to announce another major milestone for the construction of Rail to Dulles. A majority of landowners in the Western Dulles Corridor have voluntarily agreed to create a special tax district to pay for the construction of rail stations in the Reston and Herndon area. This tax district will provide $330 million in capital funding for the project. This will be a major economic boon for the County and the corridor, and will provide a much needed transit option for that part of the county. I'd like to thank the landowners for having the vision and foresight to take this critical step despite these difficult economic times. I'd also like to thank Lee Fifer and the Western Alliance for Rail to Dulles for their leadership in bringing the private sector together to sign this petition.
When I first took office last February I made Rail to Dulles one of my top priorities. In the months since then we have seen the signing of the Full Funding Grant Agreement with the Federal Government, this summer the Commonwealth secured its share of the funding, and construction began on Phase I of the project. Now we have secured funding for stations in the Western Corridor.
Major transportation projects are not an easy undertaking and are the culmination of years of effort. In concept this project began four decades ago with the construction of the Dulles Airport. Planning began in earnest under the leadership of Kate Hanley when she was Chairman of the Fairfax Board. Her successor Gerry Connolly moved funding and construction of Rail to Dulles onto the front burner and never gave up as the project encountered serious challenges.
We have much left to do and the project is far from complete. The next steps for creating a tax district are public hearings and approval by the Herndon Town Council and the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Our Board hopes to hold those hearings in November and have formally adopted the district by the end of the year.

Ñāṇa wrote:kirk5a wrote:So. If "mind" is defined in one place as inconstant, and here as constant, that requires some explanation, I would say. That is not resolved by admonitions not to "papanca-ize" Seems to me like an important point of the Dhamma.
What is being referred to is the lucidity, clarity, and suppleness of mind. When one meditates a lot the mind can become incredibly lucid and clear. This vivid presence of mind can be mistaken for an unchanging quality. But the mind must necessarily change along with its perceptions. If the mind didn't change along with its perceptions then either:
(a) the mind would forever be frozen exclusively perceiving one unchanging object, or
(b) the mind would continuously perceive every single object cognized.
If we take visual consciousness for example: If you turn your head from right to left (with eyes open), your entire visual field changes as your head moves. When your head is to the left you are no longer cognizant of what was cognized in the beginning position to the right. Therefore, both (a) and (b) above are refuted, and we can correctly discern that visual consciousness changes along with its perceptions. And what is true for visual consciousness is also true for the other five consciousnesses. There can be no unchanging, permanent consciousness.
All the best,
So are these qualities of lucidity, clarity and suppleness impermanent? In nibbana are they not stabilised?

The course provided a wealth of knowledge that applies to not just consulting but business practices in general. Excellent resource information for continued study.
Kudos for landing a national expert for the instructor--what she provides her students is very valuable, and I enjoyed having her as my instructor.
I enjoyed the course, and was amazed at the depth and quality of information Dr. Bev had assembled for us. I'll be back for more of her courses!
I am extremely pleased with this course format. I have shared the knowledge about this class with several friends. Thank You, I am so inspired. I plan to take more courses.
This is the best course I have ever taken. It gives you everything you need to succeed. I think it is wonderful for the instructor to give not only her knowledge but her secrets as well. It seems she is pulling everyone to succeed. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in starting any kind of business not just granting writing.
I have enjoyed this class tremendously. I did not expect to get the wealth of information received. I've attended several grant writing workshops, and it seemed, only received some ingredients for the pie....but in this class, you give us the whole pie! Awesome! You have given us the foundation from which we can build to be successful grant writers and consultants. This class has well exceeded my expectations. I feel confident starting my own business in grant writing. I thank you for being so forth coming with the information shared in class. It has been helpful and impactful. I have learned a lot!
I loved this class. I had a pretty good start as a grant consultant, but the course helped build my confidence and tap into some excellent resources. I appreciated that you vetted the websites and other materials so that I didn't have to plow through many to find the best ones. I appreciate you sharing your wealth of experience and common-sense approach. I look forward to "seeing" you in the advanced proposal writing class!
I enjoyed taking this course. The attributes of seeing the grant seeking process from the writer's and funder's perspective was interesting and thought provoking to say the least. I much rather learn by doing and with hands on. The assignments for each lesson gave me the opportunity to do that...The knowledge given in this course gave me a different outlook as to how valuable the internet and the newspaper can be in obtaining access to free research resources. As a novice grant writer, I now know what the best searching resources have to offer me in becoming a grant writing expert! I appreciate all the material and books offered to further my craft.
I have a Bachelors degree and spent a career in clinical research. I took this class to begin learning the steps of creating a consulting business. My expectations were exceeded. Dr. Bev is clearly an expert in her field and I appreciate her willingness to share detailed, real-life experience, with applicable resources. She was very timely in answering questions and the friendly atmosphere she presented in the lessons and discussion areas made this a very enjoyable experience. I plan to take further courses to expand my grant writing skills.
I garnered so much valuable information from this course! Dr. Bev you are a top-notch professional in this field and I am delighted to have had the opportunity to draw from your vast knowledge and experience.

Minor injury services and hip and knee replacements in Wiltshire are being reviewed by GPs who will be taking over the responsibility of organising and buying local health services.
Details of the reviews emerged at a public meeting in Devizes on Saturday, which was held to explain the changes to the NHS that are coming in in April.
The main change will be that NHS Wiltshire Primary Care Trust will be abolished and replaced by Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), comprising mainly GPs, which will have a budget of about £500m.
The CCG is examining all aspects of health care including referrals to acute hospitals in Swindon, Bath and Salisbury and aims to prioritise care in the community.
At the public meeting held in the Corn Exchange, Dr Simon Burrell, a GP in Corsham, said the number of hip and knee replacements being carried out in the county seemed "very high" and were being looked at.
In the CCG's strategic plan, which is available online, GPs in West Wiltshire, Devizes and North and East Wiltshire intend to reduce outpatient appointments for these operations. In its proposed budget for 2013/14, the CCG wants to save £1.3m by reducing planned orthopaedic surgery.
The same GP practices are also planning for a reduction in attendances at minor injury units in Chippenham and Trowbridge Community Hospitals. The CCG's proposed savings show £300,000 is allocated for reducing "inappropriate activity" at minor injury units.
At the public meeting Judy Rose, a health campaigner in Devizes, asked Dr Burrell what was being done to provide a minor injury service, particularly in Devizes and East Wiltshire where there is none.
Dr Burrell said: "We are looking at it closely. The cost of treating a minor injury in Chippenham is staggeringly high, not many people use the service.
"Why have discrete minor injury units? Why not locate a little service in each surgery? We have to think what is best for the future, not for the past."

Caracas, July 15 (IANS/EFE) The strict diets, the physical exercise regimen, the speech classes and the discussions among the participants of the Miss Venezuela contest are the things that the public will be able to view starting this week on a new reality show where the 24 candidates for this year's celebrated beauty pageant will be selected and prepared.
On national television and cable TV starting Monday, those who have always wanted to know "the truth" and the secrets of preparing the women for the contest will be able to watch "Todo por la corona" (Everything for the crown), an experiment bringing to the small screen the celebrated and criticized competition.
The TV show promises to present what before was almost a secret ingredient of the success of the contest, the severe training routine that that could only be imagined via the gossip that leaked out of the "Miss Venezuela Mansion", where the young ladies are prepared.
"Reality shows have become very much the fashion and since the Miss Venezuela contest is such an important one something very interesting and attractive for the public has been achieved," contest president Osmel Sousa, known in Venezuela as the "Beauty Czar", told EFE.
Out of the well-known Venezuelan contest, which this year will be held Oct 10, have come the country's six Miss Universe winners, six Miss World winners, six Miss Internationals and one Miss Earth.
Now, the contest's strict and organized training system, organizers said, is imitated by other countries in the region who could obtain more training clues from the reality show that will be broadcast by Venevision and the international Sony Entertainment Television network in 15 episodes.
The program will be divided into three parts. In the first, the Miss Venezuela team will be seen traveling around the country to allow 50 young women to try out for the contest, followed by the phase in which 24 candidates are selected and the final phase where the aspiring pageant contestants are trained.

JIM FARLEY, WHO has produced the Marin County Fair for more than three decades, is planning his last festival this summer as chief executive officer of Cultural and Visitor Affairs at the Civic Center, where he oversees Marin Center operations.
"I love my job of bringing joy into people's lives and making things happen here year-round," he says. But all things must come to an end, and 59-year-old Farley, who began his county career as an usher at Marin Center in 1974, is retiring in July. Recruitment is under way to replace him.
"Having booked over 700 performers for the Marin County Fair and Marin Center Presents and attended over 1,200 performances, it is the right time to pass the torch," Farley says.
His last fair, dubbed "the Happiest Fair on Earth," will run July 2 to 6, opening with a performance by Huey Lewis and the News. Other acts include Night Ranger, Elvin Bishop and Joan Jett.
Q: Why are you retiring?
A: It's time. This year marks my 40th year of employment with the county. ... I have had a rich and varied career.
Q: What's next?
A: I want to spend a week in Naples, Italy, and learn to make pizza. I will be a hero for our two young kids and my wife, if I can cover dinner a night or two a week. Professionally, I hope to find a way to serve my community through arts, cultural and family-oriented events.
Q: What do you think about plans for traffic, bicycle, landscaping and farmers market improvements at the Civic Center?
A: These projects can make the Marin Center campus ... a magnet gathering place. I see a future with colorful outdoor furniture, a path circling the lake, food trucks, farmers markets, art installations and early morning tai chi classes, a beehive of the best of community places I see worldwide.
Q: What's one thing about county government you would change?
A: I would support more ways to recognize and support innovation ... providing the resources to let teams collaborate and take responsible chances. Local governments need to find better and more cost-effective ways to serve residents using the latest tech tools.
Q: Any parting observations? What's the biggest lesson learned?
A: Often great ideas and projects take time, especially in the public sector. Patience is a necessary virtue for public service.

7'2... max contract... how is is possible to be out rebounded by 8 guys? That should never happen. I didn't even see him tip many out to other tonight either. He was constantly boxed out and never in position for rebounds. That's why two Raptors, one being a rookie combined for 27 rebounds.
Just being 7'2 and near the rim should net you more than 3 rebounds, especially playing 38 minutes. And you don't even have to be good... but max contract? I'm sorry but that's sickening.
Wouldn't be in overtime if he earned his contract and grabbed more than 3 rebounds. He proceeded to do nothing in overtime other than block one shot. That was it... for max money, you should actually contribute during crunch time and be a closer.

My Review
Average Rating
"Really love the ease of ingredients and putting it all together. The best part is eating it though, of course. Might still try and jazz it up a little bit but really perfect as is too Thank-you Robyn!"
"Awesome! My family loved it (7yr old son, 11yr old daughter, hubby and I). Took some to work for everyone to try and they all gave it 5 stars! My hubby is a big hunter and he said he would love to have this in his thermos on his all day hunts! Thanks Robyn for the great recipe!"
"Wonderful! My young children liked it as well as my husband (who generally isn't much of a soup person). Will definitely make again."
"Super-sipmle to make and DELICIOUS! Perfect portion sizes for two, but also reheats very well!"
"I gave it 5 stars and I'm not even a big carrot fan!"

Underwater BalloonScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
You have a rubber balloon with a string attached to it, and a weight attached to the other end of the string. You put just the right amount of air in the balloon such that if you submerge the balloon and weight under water to a depth of 30 feet, the balloon will not rise or sink (its buoyancy force is exactly balanced by gravity).
You then pull the balloon and weight down another 30 feet. If you let the balloon go at this depth, will it rise or sink?
Assume that the water temperature is the same at both depths.
HintThe overall density of the water/weight system at 30 feet is exactly the same as the density of water. How does the density of the system change at 60 feet?
AnswerThe balloon will sink. At a depth of 60 feet, the water pressure is greater than it is at 30 feet (by about 15 psi). Because of this, the balloon will shrink, causing the balloon/weight system to increase in density (the total volume is smaller while the total mass stays the same). Since the system is now more dense than it was at 30 feet, it will sink.
Also important is the fact that since water is pretty much incompressible, the water density at both depths will be about the same.

Lincecum confident in being ready for first start
OAKLAND -- Less than 24 hours after being drilled by a line drive in his lower left leg, Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum sounded optimistic that he'll be able to make his first start of the season on Thursday in Arizona.
Lincecum collapsed to the ground and had to be helped off the field on Friday in the fourth inning, but said he sustained nothing more than a bad bone bruise. Asked if he'll be able to make his 2014 debut as scheduled, Lincecum on Saturday said, "I don't want to miss it. Right now, I feel like where I'm at right now, I should be fine by the time that comes around."
Likewise, Giants skipper Bruce Bochy is hoping to have Lincecum ready for the fourth game of the season.
"He's doing fairly well,," Bochy said. "I think right now, we're pretty comfortable that he'll be OK to go. Again, we'll keep an eye on him."
Lincecum's leg was wrapped as he walked around the clubhouse on Saturday, but he did so without a limp. He also rode on an exercise bike for about 10 minutes, but said he doesn't know when he'll pitch again.
For now, he's just icing and waiting for the OK from the team doctors.
"I'm able to walk on it and I'm moving around fine," Lincecum said. "But I think the trainers are going to want me to just take it slow. Probably take it day by day and see how it progresses. Just got to play it by ear."
The 29-year-old has struggled in recent years since winning back-to-back Cy Young Awards in 2008-09. Lincecum will surely be under the microscope once again this season after San Francisco signed him to a two-year, $35 million deal in October.
The way things stand now, it appears Lincecum will keep his career-long streak of staying off the disabled list intact.
"He's gifted with a rubber arm," Bochy said. "He's resilient."

Best Midwest Coffeehouse Desserts
Mooselips' Pumpkin Cheesecake with a Caramel Swirl [1]
Mooselips Java Joint in Seeley, Wisconsin, is steeped in North Woods comfort. The former gas station draws customers to its cozy wood-paneled interior, heavy on moose in the decorating, for a morning cup of house blend coffee and fresh-from-the-oven goodies— including this delicious cheesecake. "The R&D Department here at Mooselips gives this a big thumbs up," says manager and baker Barb Grossi. "It's creamy, cool and not overpowered by the pumpkin or the spice."
Another Mooselips favorite is Pineapple Zucchini Bread, made with zucchini from owner Cindy Ferraro.

Chocolate Espresso Walnut Tiles [6]
The flavors of bittersweet chocolate, coffee and walnuts— topped with cream cheese frosting and a brownie glaze— combine to make this luscious dessert.
Unforgettable muffins [10]
Muffins were meant to savor along with a cheering cup of morning coffee. Here are two of our own creations. A swirl of both cheesecake and brownies is delectable in Fudge Brownie Cheesecake Muffins, and a dab of lemon curd gives a burst of citrus flavor to Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins.
Simon's Coffee Shop Ginger Cookies [15]
These spiced softies are a top seller at Simon's Cafe and Catering in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. They get a coating of sugar that bakes in for a sweet finish. Shortbread cookies are another customer favorite. "My shortbread recipe is excellent with any coffee drink," says Dan Kenyon, owner of Simon's. Dan and his wife, Theresa, bake all their treats from scratch. "Everyone is going to eat pastries or cookies sometime," Dan says. "It's better to have them be real, homemade and good."

Broadway Cafe Apple Cake [25]
In the trendy Westport area of Kansas City, Missouri, customers at Broadway Cafe and Roasting Company can taste samples of that day's baked goods, including frosted scones, biscotti, coffee cake and this moist Apple Cake. Each is the perfect accompaniment to coffee that owners Sara Honan and Jon Cates roast a few blocks away. A generous portion of chopped Granny Smith apples adds flavor and moisture to the Apple Cake. Be careful turning it out of the pan; it's a tender coffee cake.
Another treat from Broadway Cafe is Soft Molasses Ginger Cookies, where sour cream makes for moist, gingery cookies.

Your health care provider may make the diagnosis based on the appearance of your skin or mouth lesions.
A skin lesion biopsy or biopsy of a mouth lesion can confirm the diagnosis. Blood tests may be done to rule out hepatitis.
The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and speed healing. If your symptoms are mild, you may not need treatment.
Treatments may include:
Lichen planus is usually not harmful. Most often it gets better with treatment. The condition often clears up within 18 months, but may come and go for years.

A MILL complex has been set on fire by arsonists two nights in a row, police believe.
Firefighters were called to Nortex Mill in Chorley Old Road at 10pm last night.
They spent 90 minutes at the scene and tackled a blaze that began in a skip wagon.
The vehicle, which is worth more than £25,000, was destroyed by the blaze and a mini digger almost went up in flames too.
Both vehicles belonged to Ambient Driveways, which is based at the mill, firefighters said.
Just 24 hours earlier, firefighters had tackled a blaze in a rack of scaffolding planks in an adjoining compound.
Anthony Milton, owner of Ambient Driveways, said: "The wagon is completely ruined. This is a major problem for me because it's the only wagon I own.
"It is worth at least £25, 000 and I've not been able to get hold of another one today.
"This means I have had to cancel jobs and will miss out on business.
"It's clear this fire was started on purpose."
Mr Milton claims businesses at the Nortex Mill complex have become regular targets for criminals.
The 49-year-old, from Heaton, added: "Somebody had taken the fuel cap off my wagon on Sunday night.
"One of the other businesses had all the wheels stolen from their vans a few months ago.
"It seems to have happened to everyone here."
Watch manager Ian Read, from Bolton fire station in Moor Lane, said: "We are treating both these incidents as arson and have referred the incidents to the police, who are investigating.
"It is a big concern that there have been two very serious incidents two nights in a row and officers will be trying to establish who is responsible.
"I would appeal to people living near the mill to stay vigilant in the next few days, especially at night, and be on the lookout for any suspicious vehicles or people near the mill."
The owner of Nortex Mill declined to comment.
Call police on 101 with information.

THE Crown Prosecution Service has apologised to a former Hampshire MP who it wrongly accused of breaking election law.
Police have also apologised to Michael Mates, East Hampshire MP for 36 years until 2010, and confirmed that he was not guilty of any offence during his bid to become Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight in 2012.
It was claimed that Mr Mates, who has just celebrated his 80th birthday, had broken the rules by using a flat in St Cross, Winchester, as his address so that he could take part in the contest.
After an investigation by police, the CPS said that it would not be in the public interest to launch a prosecution even though a conviction was 'a realistic possibility.' Today the CPS issued a statement: "In October 2013, the CPS considered allegations that Michael Mates, a candidate in the election for Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire, had committed an offence under section 21 of The Police and Crime Commissioner Elections Order 2012. The CPS decided at that time that there was sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction but that no charges should be brought as a prosecution would not be in the public interest. The CPS made a statement in October 2013, explaining its decision not to prosecute Mr Mates.
"Following a complaint made by Mr Mates, the CPS carried out a review of this decision and it has concluded that it had been wrong to determine that there was sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction.
"The CPS has apologised to Mr Mates for any distress and embarrassment that its wrong decision and public statement in October 2013 caused. The CPS of course accepts that Mr Mates committed no offence."
Hampshire's chief constable Andy Marsh has also apologised. He said: "If the investigation has caused Mr Mates professional or personal embarrassment or other personal difficulties then this clearly was not the intention of the police and, for that, I apologise. Furthermore, I acknowledge and accept the statement of the CPS that Mr Mates is innocent of any offence."
Mr Mates said: "What has been a nightmare for my wife and myself for more than 18 months is now over.
"We had to endure the ordeal of interviews under criminal caution because of allegations that were made with malice.
"We have endured endless delays while the various authorities kept us completely in the dark as to what was going on. I have been through six or seven appeal processes, all of which dismissed my assertions that I had done nothing wrong.
"It was only when, at my own expense, I instructed lawyers to challenge the Crown Prosecution Service that they caved in and admitted that they had been wrong all along.
"I have been able finally to achieve a just outcome for myself only because of my knowledge and experience of the system.
"I have grave doubts that an ordinary citizen who has not had such a background would have been able successfully to challenge wrongdoing by the authorities without access to potentially expensive litigation."
He added: "This is not the way our justice system should work. I shall endeavour to ensure that lessons are learned from what has been, for us, a most upsetting experience."

A major restructuring at Air India has cut loss-making routes to 25 percent of its network in the fiscal year ending March 2013, down from 69 percent in the previous year. The airline attributes the improvement to a series of steps taken to cut costs, restructure loans, strengthen management and liquidate assets, including the spin-off of engineering and ground handling as independent profit centers.
Air India has also started the process of changing its business model to a "hybrid" one, said chairman and managing director Rohit Nandan. Following a recent approval by the ministry of civil aviation to allow for charging of extras, or "unbundling," the airline has reduced its free baggage allowance on domestic flights to 15 kg from 20 kg.
Meanwhile, the airline has launched efforts to sell or lease five of eight money-losing Boeing 777-200LRs placed into service between 2007 and 2010. "If we are unable to do that, we will fly them on an all-economy configuration of 311 seats on international routes," said Nandan. "The [present] 238 seats [eight in first class, 35 in business class and 195 economy] make no sense." However, he acknowledged to AIN that even though first class proved difficult to fill, the cost of reconfiguration, at $2.25 million each, makes for a challenging economic case. The airline will likely reconfigure three aircraft for VIP travel, he added.
Two 787s, of six delivered, have started flying domestic service and schedules call for the first international flight to serve Frankfurt on May 22. Next comes Delhi to Birmingham, followed by Sydney and Melbourne from August, Rome and Milan from October, and Moscow from early next year. "The 787 is crucial to Air India's turnaround plan," said Nandan. The airline expects eight more Dreamliners of the 27 it ordered to arrive by the end of December, taking the total to 14.
Air India's inability to meet minimum conditions for joining the Star Alliance prompted the group to suspend its application in 2011. Nandan told AIN that Air India still considers Star membership crucial to its success in international markets. "We have limited access to all parts of the world and hesitate [to sell]…Except for New York and Chicago, for example, we have no other connection to U.S. points."
Nandan characterized the possibility of the newly allied Jet Airways and Etihad bringing the Airbus A380 to India some time next year as a "hypothetical scenario."
However, one airline official who spoke with AIN on the condition of anonymity said the A380 would fly from India via Abu Dhabi to London and New York.

Chairman sir, do not worry when there is will there is a way. The way forward to increase frequency on New York, London, Frankfurt and Toronto routes, London to 4 per day from Delhi, New York to 2 per day, Toronto to 2 per day, Frankfurt to 2 per day with good connections from Delhi to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Colombo and good domestic connections to Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad and other cities. You can easily fill the flights with 6th freedom traffic and Indian traffic. Always Market penetration is less of a risk that market development. Of course Air India must start Rome, Milan, Birmingham and Sydney/Melbourne

Air India ubable to join the Star Alliance is afailure of the highest order .
I am not surprised that till date Air India has not made its way to be member of the Star Alliance.
Air India management team needs to wake and pul up the socks before the Airline goes down hill and the national carrier goes belly up and for a desperate sale or take over..
Air India not not being able join SA is continuously loosing money every day. I am not sure if Air India management is doing the home work to study the passenger load for flights to USA & Canada . I travel atlest 4-5 times a year to India and has travelled with all different carriers except Air India just because Air India is not part of SA and I do not get miles.
People may call or label me as a coward or desh drohi but at the fact remains that I am need to act wise and make sure that money spent gets me the most mileage.
Imagine if majority of the Indians who fly US & Canada start using AI as their prime carrier the revenue it can generate for AI . The loyalty will increase with every free trip that they can enjoy with their star alliance miles.
All the German Corporations makes sure that their national carrier is their first choice, with Statr Alliance AI can surely target the India Corporates to fly Air India selling the idea that that they can use their miles to fly free within the NA or even enjoy free flying on reward ticket. Currently people flying AI can only use reward miles with AI flights only..
The same goes for returning Indians on holiday and business will be flying domestic destinations within India with AI.
