Echinacea may interact with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants ("blood thinners") such as warfarin (Coumadin®) or heparin, anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix®), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) or naproxen (Naprosyn®, Aleve®).
Echinacea may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be increased in the blood, and may cause increased effects or potentially serious adverse reactions. People using any medications should check the package insert, and speak with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, about possible interactions.
Echinacea may interact with agents that are cleared from the body by the kidneys, agents that affect the immune system, agents toxic to the liver, agents that increase light sensitivity, agents that treat muscle spasms, agents that treat retroviral infections (HIV), anesthesia, antibiotics, anticancer agents, anti-inflammatories, antiviral agents, anxiety agents, caffeine, cardiac glycosides, corticosteroids, dental agents, disulfiram (Antabuse®), econazole nitrate (Spectazole®), metronidazole (Flagyl®), P-glycoprotein-regulated agents, and steroids.
Echinacea may interact with herbs and supplements that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Multiple cases of bleeding have been reported with the use of Ginkgo biloba, and fewer cases with garlic and saw palmetto. Numerous other agents may theoretically increase the risk of bleeding, although this has not been proven in most cases.
Echinacea may interfere with the way the body processes certain herbs or supplements using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of other herbs or supplements may become too high in the blood. It may also alter the effects that other herbs or supplements possibly have on the P450 system.
Echinacea may interact with anesthesia, antibacterials, anticancer herbs and supplements, anti-inflammatory herbs and supplements, antioxidants, antivirals, astralagus, caffeine-containing herbs and supplements, cardiac glycosides, dental herbs and supplements, glycyrrhiza, herbs and supplements that are cleared from the body by the kidneys, herbs and supplements that affect the immune system, herbs and supplements toxic to the liver, herbs and supplements that increase light sensitivity, herbs and supplements that treat anxiety, herbs and supplements that treat muscle spasms, kava, P-glycoprotein-regulated agents, and vitamins.

Have you ever run out of battery power while using a DSLR for astrophotography? Orion has the solution! These compact and affordable 12V DC Adapters let you power your Canon DSLR from a 12-volt field battery - the same one you're probably already using to run all your other astrophotography gear at your imaging site.
Compatible with many of the most popular models of Canon EOS DSLR cameras (see below), a 12V DC Power Adapter is a wonderfully practical accessory for DSLR astrophotographers who don't have access to AC power. Just insert the included DC coupler for your particular model of Canon EOS DSLR into the camera's battery compartment in place of the battery, then plug the connector into your 12V DC field battery. Now your camera will stay powered-up all night long, and then some. Each coupler is equipped with a 2-meter cable.

Hi everybody. I'm a very bad putter, missing left/right a lot. I've been playing a couple of years, and I practice putting in my backyard for 10-20 minutes per day. My putting style is basically a spin putt. I start with my right shoulder slightly closer to the target than my left. I get a little extra power from rotating my right shoulder closer to the target as I putt. The technique I'm aiming for is basically like this guy's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh3PbSTyGaI.
The thing that seems strange is that my hand ends up to the left of the target during the follow-through. All the putting instruction videos I've seen show a follow-through straight at the target. I can focus on following through straight at the target, but then I miss to the right, and try to compensate some other way to get the disc left. This straight follow-through with compensation has been very inaccurate for me. So I usually just let the follow through be on the left side. Is following through to the left bad technique that I should fix?
And more generally: How do you know when to change a technique? The problem is that changing techniques means you lose the benefit of practicing the old technique, and have to start over practicing a new one. I've messed with my putting motion several times, and it usually has been more disruptive than helpful; I haven't improved much at putting in the last year. Thoughts?

CORTE MADERA, Calif. — Restoration Hardware is a company one tends to associate with high-end home furnishings, but the company is expanding into new territory. RH recently launched Hierarchy — an apparel, accessories and footwear brand — and has edited its executive leadership team as a result.
The company has re-appointed Gary Friedman, the company's chairman emeritus, creator and curator, co-CEO and chairman of the company's board of directors. Friedman will return to his prior role at the company alongside Carlos Alberini, who has also been named co-CEO. Friedman and Alberini together will lead and collaborate on all key strategic decisions impacting the company.
Concurrent with Friedman's appointment, RH has acquired the exclusive right to develop Hierarchy. The new concept will be rebranded as RH Atelier and will focus on the development of luxury apparel, accessories, footwear and jewelry, and be integrated and launched on the RH platform.
"Gary's unique vision, creativity and passion have been invaluable to the growth and transformation of RH," said former chairman Michael Chu. "Gary and Carlos are a tremendous team and together have made significant contributions to the success of the company. On behalf of our board of directors, we are excited about the future growth and evolution of the RH brand under their leadership."
"During the last few years, Gary and I have built an incredible partnership," said Alberini. "Gary is a visionary with amazing talents who has led the extraordinary transformation of RH into one of the leading luxury brands in the market today. On behalf of our leadership team, I am thrilled to welcome Gary back into this role and look forward to the opportunity to continue this journey together."
"I am honored to be rejoining Carlos and the entire RH team in our quest to create the most innovative and inspiring brand in the industry," added Friedman. "This team's ability to curate and integrate new products, businesses and experiences, then scale them across our multichannel platform has enabled us to build one of the fastest growing brands in the marketplace."
RH Atelier will be based in New York City, and have a satellite office in the RH Center of Innovation and Product Leadership in Corte Madera, Calif.
Prior to his appointment to the role of chairman emeritus, creator and curator, Friedman served as chairman and co-CEO of Restoration Hardware from June 2010 to Oct. 2012 and served as the company's CEO since March 2001. Prior to joining the company, Friedman spent 13 years at Williams-Sonoma, where he served as president and COO from 2000 to 2001, as CMO and president of retail stores from 1995 to 2000 and as EVP of the company and president of the Williams-Sonoma and Pottery Barn brands from 1993 to 1995. Previously, Friedman spent 11 years with the Gap in various leadership positions.
Alberini was appointed ceo of RH in Oct. 2012. Prior to that, he served as Co-CEO upon joining the company in June 2010. Alberini has served as a director of the company since June 2010. Prior to joining the company, he was president and COO of Guess, a publicly traded specialty retailer of apparel and accessories, from Dec. 2000 to June 2010. From Oct. 1996 to Dec. 2000, Alberini served as SVP and CFO of Footstar, Inc., a footwear retailer. From May 1995 to Oct. 1996, Alberini served as VP of finance and acting CFO of the Melville Corporation, a retail holding corporation. From 1987 to 1995 he was with the Bon Ton Stores, an operator of department stores, in various capacities, including VP, corporate controller and SVP, CFO. Prior to that, Alberini served in various positions at PriceWaterhouseCoopers LLP.

SANTA CRUZ -- Forgive the players on the Harbor High boys soccer team if they're walking around like they have an "S" emblazoned on their chests after this week.
The Pirates are feeling like Superman after surviving a brutal week back from the winter break. They picked up a little swagger after gaining a win over one crosstown rival and Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League contender, Santa Cruz, on Wednesday. Then, buoyed by that win, they took down the other major league-title contender and crosstown rival, Soquel, 2-1, on Friday to climb to the top perch in the SCCAL standings.
"After our success against Santa Cruz, we felt we could pretty much do anything," admitted Pirates sophomore goalkeeper Nathan Pisciotta. "We brought that in here and this is the outcome we came to."
Oliver de la Rosa struck first for Harbor (5-4-1, 3-0), scoring the only goal of the first half in the 30th minute. Harbor earned an indirect free kick just outside the box, but the initial shot went caroming off Soquel's wall. The stray ball was collected to the right of the goal by de la Rosa, who, while being defended, deftly turned and sent a shot to the far left corner.
Julio Gonzalez felt able to leap tall buildings after tapped in the insurance goal with his left foot in the 75th minute.
With the bench calling for Harbor to score and put the game out of the Knights' reach, Ricky Olvera sent a lob over a defender to Jose Gonzalez, who made a perfect cross from the right side to Julio Gonzalez who, along with De La Rosa, found himself front and center of the Soquel goal. The normally right-footed wing, who is in his first year on varsity, then easily converted the shot for his first goal of the season.
"It felt like the World Cup," Julio Gonzalez said. "It's always been my dream to score a winning goal in an important game."
The senior added that to score "My first goal with left leg, that was the last thing I expected."
The Pirates needed that insurance.
Soquel (5-3-3, 2-1) was quick to shake of its disappointment at digging itself a two-goal hole and redoubled its efforts to score again before time ran out. With an extra forward substituted into the game, the offensive push worked. A minute into overage time, Alan Alcocer sent a pass from the left side of the field to Gavin Gibson who laid it at the foot of Omar Marquez. It was a play the Knights had attempted several times earlier in the match, but this time it worked. Marquez's shot lofted over Harbor keeper Effrain Serna and into the goal, making the score 2-1.
The Knights hustled to get one more chance, but time ran out before they could stage their comeback.
"I have to admire them for having heart and, when that second goal went in, not giving in," said Soquel coach Jon Baron.
Still, with the Knights dominating the opening stanza -- sending three good shots at Pisciotta and kicking a few others wide -- Baron said he was disappointed the team couldn't get one more goal.
"The first 20 minutes we were living in their half," he said. "It just didn't go our way."
Harbor's controlled and spread offense played a role in that, but, Baron said, much of it also came down to confidence. During the game, he often encouraged his players to find the courage to step up and shoot.
But Soquel didn't have any big rivalry wins to draw from. The Knights host Santa Cruz on Jan. 23. A loss for either team will likely dash any hope of winning the league title. A win, however, may be the catalyst for a second-round win over the Pirates.
Harbor coach Michael Vahradian said he's doing his best to make sure his team doesn't get bitten by overconfidence with most of the season left to play. Even if they're feeling like Superman on the inside, he wants them acting like they're Clark Kent.
"Coming off of the Santa Cruz game, we had to make sure the press didn't get into the guys' heads," he said. "We want them to come back to the theme of working hard.
"I'm super excited about the result," he added, "but I'm more excited about how we're playing."
The Pirates next travel to Aptos on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. SCCAL game, while Soquel will try to rebound in an league game at Scotts Valley on Wednesday at 6 p.m.

When I learned that Alan Kronenberg of CompuVend had died, I felt a sadness that has become increasingly familiar. We have lost so many industry pioneers recently -- or does it just seem that way because I'm getting older? When we lose someone who has been part of our lives and affected them, it's only to be expected that we reflect on the past, the present and the future. I've always been fascinated by the history of our industry and eager to learn more about how the imaginative, enterprising men and women became so successful. Surely they had challenges just like we do...
I reached out to Alan's son, Mark Kronenberg, who has been president of CompuVend since 2009. Mark worked closely with his dad for more than three decades, just as I had done with my father. We grew up in the industry together, and I wanted to express my condolences and learn how he was doing -- especially since I know what it's like to lose a father and a mentor at the same time. Mark shared his father's story with me, and I found their business-building partnership so inspiring that I wanted to share it with our readers.
I had not realized that the family's history in vending dated way back to 1937. Mark told me that his grandfather, Sidney Kronenberg, started Alamat Vending in Birmingham, AL, and Alan was born in that same year.
Alan's mother Harrie was also involved in Alamat, and both of his parents sat on the board of NAMA -- Harrie was the first woman elected to the association's board of directors. Alan worked for the family business, and operated vending machines on the side while attending the University of Alabama. But when his father died suddenly in a plane crash, his mother sold the business to Automatic Retailers of America (now Aramark).
After graduation, Alan moved to New Orleans and went to work in his wife Kay's family business. But vending was in his blood, and 18 months later he left to start his own vending and foodservice company. ARA purchased that business several years later, and Alan continued working for them, selling and managing accounts.
According to Mark, his dad landed and set up many accounts throughout the South; this kept him busy, often away from home and seldom able see his family. But family was always important to Alan, and so in 1968 Alan and Kay started a sandwich shop in the city's central business district. A year later, he started Food Management Corp., also in New Orleans, which provided vending, industrial foodservice, cafeteria management, catering and office coffee service. One of FMC's accounts was Avondale Shipyards, the largest employer in the state of Louisiana. Mark shared some stories with me about his dad's remarkable achievements in those days, but due to space constraints, I'll have to save those for another time.
By 1978, Mark had taken some programming courses in school, and Alan asked him whether he could write software for FMC. Those were the days before IBM introduced its first personal computer; at the time, the only generally available desktop computers were the 8-bit Apples and Tandy/Radio Shack TRS-80s.
Mark and Alan teamed up, and began to design their own software for the TRS-80, initially for managing commissary production and then their vending operation. Over the next few years, other operators heard about what they were doing and began asking about it. Mark and Alan had designed their programs for their own particular operational needs, so they began visiting other operating companies and researching how they might deepen and generalize their management software. This led to a major rewrite and upgrade, and in 1982, they took a booth at the NAMA show in New Orleans to demonstrate it. So CompuVend was born.
Among CompuVend's early landmark achievements were a direct interface between a computer and a coin counter, and in the late '80s, a series of handheld route computers to replace paper route tickets. They quickly saw the value of the DEX standard in accelerating this process; they pioneered technology enabling machines to transmit their sales data to the driver, making routes more productive.
It was evident to Mark and Alan more than 30 years ago that vending operators could use technology to improve the efficiency of their companies, and they began by using it to improve their own.
As Alan increasingly turned CompuVend over to Mark, he spent more time consulting, sharing the insights he had gained. He had a real talent for modeling complicated systems elegantly and explaining those models clearly. Perhaps this will be Alan's Kronenberg's legacy.
Every generation gets the opportunity to define itself in response to the challenges and opportunities it faces. I wonder how the next generation will recall our attempts, and I hope we live up to the standards set by leaders like Alan Kronenberg.
Ira Alan Kronenberg died on Sept. 10 in New Orleans. He was 75.

TRIBUTES have been paid to an inspirational Bishop of Dudley, who has died at the age of 88.
The Rt Revd Tony Dumper passed away in Bristol on August 27.
Bishop Tony was only the second person to be appointed to the post in 1977 and was fondly regarded as being inspirational - sticking to his principals on issues which sometimes made him unpopular.
Serving the borough for 15 years until his retirement in 1993, Bishop Tony also chaired the Dudley Race Equality Council and helped found the Church Housing Association of Dudley and District.
He was also staunchly supported throughout the years by his German-born wife, Sybille, who died suddenly in 2001, with the pair known for their lively and entertaining social evenings at the Bishop's House.
The current Bishop of Dudley, David Walker, said: "It was Tony Dumper who really gave shape to the role of Bishop of Dudley. Many of the organisations that he founded in the borough still thrive and serve the community today. They form a very visible legacy to a town that took him dearly to its heart and still holds him very fondly."
His funeral is set to take place in Bristol on Friday, with a memorial service set to be held in Worcester Cathedral at a later date.
He leaves behind three children and four grandchildren.

THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL Plays Clevland Playhouse 2/4-2/27
A haunting American classic, THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL marks the first Cleveland Play House production of a work by Pulitzer Prize- and Academy Award-winner Horton Foote, and the world-premiere performance of this play by an African-American cast. Receiving the blessing of Hallie Foote, daughter of the playwright, this co-production with Round House Theatre is helmed by Timothy Douglas and stars preeminent African-American actress Lizan Mitchell as Carrie Watts. THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL begins in the Drury Theatre at Cleveland Play House on Friday, February 4 and runs through Sunday, February 27, 2011. Tickets are available at Cleveland Play House box office by calling 216.795.7000 ext 4 or online at www.clevelandplayhouse.com. THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL is presented with support from US Bank, Turner Construction, Cuyahoga Arts and Culture, and the Ohio Arts Council.
"Cleveland Play House is extremely proud to be producing one of the great American dramas in a unique way. It's an event of national significance and a terrific way for us to celebrate Black History Month," says Artistic Director Michael Bloom.
"THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL remains one of my all time favorite plays, and has been on my director's wish list for some time. So equal to my intent of providing a moving theatrical vehicle for the incomparably talented Lizan Mitchell is my desire to honor the prolific and uniquely American playwright Horton Foote. And given his recent passing, I felt the timing to uniquely honor him couldn't be more appropriate," remarks director Timothy Douglas. In describing his choice for non-traditional casting, Douglas says, "Because I remain committed to the playwright's original intent, all of the augmented socially-specific examples will only be communicated by way of the stage picture, coupled with the audiences' individual and collective knowledge of race relations. I hope this production will impart powerful new meanings in a unique Trip to Bountiful."
Trapped in a cramped Houston apartment with her soft-spoken son and self-absorbed daughter-in-law, widow Carrie Watts dreams of returning to her home in the small Gulf Coast town of Bountiful, where she grew up and raised her own family. Fearing that she's an imposition and chafing under her daughter-in-law's watchful eye, she steals away with her latest pension check and heads home in the journey of a lifetime. The result is an unforgettable meditation on the idea of home and its power to sustain us.
THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL was originally written by Horton Foote as a movie for television in 1953. It starred Lillian Gish and Eva Marie Saint, who reprised their roles when the play went to Broadway later that year. Another prolific American actress, Geraldine Page, took on the role of Carrie Watts in 1985 in a film version written by Foote, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance.
One of America's most celebrated dramatists, known for his distinctive literary grace chronicling the wistful side of the American odyssey, Horton Foote began writing his final screenplay Main Street in 2004 and completed it in late 2008. In a career that spanned seven decades and encompassed film, theatre and television during its' golden age, Foote drew his inspiration primarily from ordinary people coping with what he called life's "vicissitudes," those who's outward calm and stoicism belie their inner-turbulence. In more than 60 plays and films, Foote's work became part of America's great literary legacy, and his triumphs included his Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Young Man from Atlanta 1995 as well as his films THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL 1985, his Oscar-winning adapted screenplay of Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird 1962, and his Oscar-winning original screenplay Tender Mercies 1983. Foote created emotionally rich, complex characters, particularly for women, as exemplified by Carrie Watts in THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, originally played on television by Lillian Gish and later in the 1985 film by Geraldine Page in an Oscar-winning performance.

Horton Foote (Playwright) One of America's most celebrated dramatists, known for his distinctive literary grace chronicling the wistful side of the American odyssey, Horton Foote began writing his final screenplay Main Street in 2004 and completed it in late 2008. In a career that spanned seven decades and encompassed film, theatre and television during its' golden age, Foote drew his inspiration primarily from ordinary people coping with what he called life's "vicissitudes," those who's outward calm and stoicism belie their inner-turbulence. In more than 60 plays and films, Foote's work became part of America's great literary legacy, and his triumphs included his Pulitzer Prize winning play The Young Man from Atlanta 1995 as well as his films THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL 1985, his Oscar winning adapted screenplay of Harper Lee's classic To Kill a Mockingbird 1962, and his Oscar winning original screenplay Tender Mercies 1983. Foote created emotionally rich, complex characters, particularly for women, as exemplified by Carrie Watts in THE TRIP TO BOUNTIFUL, originally played on television by Lillian Gish and later in the 1985 film by Geraldine Page in an Oscar winning performance. Georgiana, one of the five pivotal characters in Main Street played by Ellen Burstyn is her kindred spirit. Another highlight of Foote's film career was Tender Mercies for which Robert Duval won an Oscar as Best Actor portraying a washed up alcoholic country western singer. Frank Rich, chief theatre critic of The New York Times, called Foote "one of America's living literary wonders" and "a major American dramatist whose epic body of work recalls Chekhov in its quotidian comedy and heartbreak, and Faulkner in its ability to make his own corner of America stand for the whole." Charles McNulty of Los Angeles Times is quoted as saying, "The truth is that every time an actor steps into one of Foote's characters, something wonderful has the potential to occur. Behind this remarkable longevity is a reverence for the interior life, that fortress of consciousness in an inexplicable wilderness, and a compassion for all of those courageous enough to confront the confounding reality of their being." 2009 saw Horton Foote's landmark nine-play epic, The Orphans' Home Cycle that many believe to be his theatrical masterpiece. It was produced by Hartford Stage September 3rd - October 24th, 2009 and Signature Theatre November 5th, 2009 - April 10th, 2010, garnering critical acclaim and several awards including The Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off Broadway Play, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, and a Special Drama Desk Award for Excellence in Theatre.
Timothy Douglas (Director) was recently named artistic director of Chicago's Remy Bumppo Theatre Company and will begin his duties there this summer.

Yost rewards Colon with start at third
DENVER -- While it wasn't exactly glamorous, Christian Colon came through with a big-time play Tuesday when he was asked to pitch-hit in the eighth. And on Wednesday, manager Ned Yost rewarded him with a start at third and a chance to prove himself in the leadoff role.
After three straight Royals reached to load the bases with two outs in the seventh, Colon took three straight 95 mph fastballs from left-hander Rex Brothers to walk in a run.
By also keeping the inning alive, Colon set up Omar Infante's two-run double in the next at-bat. That gave the Royals a 7-2 lead, which might have seemed excessive until the Rockies got two back in the ninth off left-hander Francisley Bueno.
One day after the Royals' 22nd win in their last 27 games, Yost said he hasn't been around many rookies with the poise and professionalism of Colon.
"He's just solid, solid winning-type baseball player that is prepared for any task you may have available for him that day," Yost said.
Colon, the Royals' fourth overall Draft selection back in 2010, has hit .385 (10-for-26) with four doubles and six runs in his first taste of Big League action this season.
With left-hander Jorge De La Rosa on the mound, his start isn't exactly surprising until you consider how adamant Yost has been about Mike Moustakas being his everyday third baseman this season.
In 104 games, Moustakas has posted career-lows in average (.202) and on-base percentage (.262).
Likewise, if Colon proves himself in the leadoff position, it could lead to more opportunities. Despite owning the third highest team average in the Majors at .265, the Royals have produced the fifth lowest on-base plus slugging percentage in the American League from the one-hole (.696).

Six more Republicans for immigration reform
Momentum is growing in the House of Representatives to pass comprehensive immigration reform. Since Action August began, six more Republican congressmen have publicly endorsed a pathway to earned citizenship.
OFA supporters held events in each of their districts Monday to thank them for standing with our country's future.
In Modesto, California, OFA volunteers rallied at Congressman Jeff Denham's office and spoke with his staff to thank him for his comments in support of reform. On Friday, August 16th, Congressman Denham attended a town hall organized by CBS-PICO and Mi Familia Vota, where the congressman re-affirmed his support for a pathway to citizenship and repeatedly said it's time to fix our immigration system.
Congressman Joe Heck is one of the newest Republican congressmen to endorse a pathway to citizenship, and OFA volunteers visited his office in Las Vegas, Nevada, to say thank you.
"To Mr. Schock, I would say we're very encouraged by what you've been saying, and you're moving in the right direction and we will be there to see that you vote correctly," OFA-Illinois Chapter Lead Scott Cross told WICS-TV outside Congressman Aaron Schock's office in Springfield.
A group of OFA volunteers visited the office of Congressman Daniel Webster in Mount Dora, Florida, to thank him for his support and ask him to help bring immigration reform to the House floor.
OFA volunteers met with members of Congressman Dave Reichert's staff at his office in Issaquah, Washington, to thank the congressman for supporting comprehensive immigration reform.
And in Kenosha, Wisconsin, OFA held a lunchtime rally outside of Congressman Paul Ryan's office. "He has already said he wants to vote on immigration reform," a volunteer told the Kenosha News. "We want him to call for a vote. He's been a leader on this issue."
This is what Action August is all about—supporters are standing up for the issues they care about, and lawmakers are listening. Does your representative support comprehensive immigration reform? Make sure your member of Congress hears your voice this August.

Apple fritters warm from the fryer are the perfect little fall treats!
Whether dusted with confectioners' sugar or dipped in a warm glaze these old-fashioned drop doughnuts will melt in your mouth and find their way into your heart like they have mine.
I love the way their craggy nooks and crusty crannies capture all that sticky sweetness and how the pillowy dough wraps itself around the tart apple pieces. The perfect showcase for the abundance of apples I find myself with every time I unpack my grocery bags.
Fall is for comfort foods and these should be near the top of everyone's list! I know deep-frying isn't fun but these are well worth the trouble of making every once and a while.
Any regrets about frying will fall away as you bite into the sugary delights and fill your mouth with pure joy!
Apple fritters warm from the fryer are the perfect little treats!
- Sift flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. In a separate, large bowl combine eggs, milk and oil; stir in flour mixture and apples all at once mixing just until combined.
- Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a large saucepan or cast iron skillet to 365 degrees F. Drop tablespoons of batter carefully into the oil frying until puffy and golden, turning once, about 3-4 minutes. Remove to paper towels and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and/or dunk in glaze.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat combine milk and vanilla; heat until warm. Whisk the confectioners' sugar slowly into the milk and continue whisking until well combined.
- Remove glaze from the heat and set over a bowl of warm water. Dip doughnuts into the glaze and set on a wire rack or right into your mouth!
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan. Drop a tablespoon of batter into each muffin cup. Bake until browned about 8 - 10 minutes, a toothpick in the middle should come out clean.
*Best eaten warm or very soon after they're made, otherwise they become soggy.

- BSO Case Number: NL13-01-001119
- PIO Number: 13-02-4
- Date: January 17, 2013
- Time: 9:12 p.m.
- Place of Occurrence: 1345 S. State Road 7, North Lauderdale
- Jurisdiction: North Lauderdale
- State of Florida
- Unknown at this time
Description of Incident:
Broward Sheriff's Office detectives are looking for an armed robber who went on a shopping spree as he cleaned out the till in a North Lauderdale shoe store.
Just before the 9 p.m. closing on January 17, a man entered the Footlocker store on South State Road 7 and brought a pair of socks to the register. He handed the clerk $20, as if to pay for the socks then jumped the counter, pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money. Fearing for his life, the male clerk handed over the money from the register. The gunman forced the clerk to the back of the store, where a female co-worker was. The suspect forced the employees to open the safe. When he found out there was no money in the safe, the robber became upset and demanded the male clerk get him two pairs of blue Nike Speedturf shoes, in sizes 8 and 10. The shoes are valued at $135 per pair. The gunman ordered the female clerk to open a second cash register and give him that money. On his way out of the store with the loot, the suspect grabbed two ball caps - one with an Atlanta Falcons logo, the other with a Chicago Bulls emblem and a pair of grey and red Jordan socks.
The black male suspect was wearing sunglasses, a black sweater, black sweat pants, a grey skully and black and red Nike sneakers.
Anyone with information about these robberies should call BSO Det. Cody Gill at 954-321-4270 or Broward Crime Stoppers, anonymously, at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or online at www.browardCrimeStoppers.org. A cash reward of up to $1,000 can be paid to tipsters who call Crime Stoppers with information leading to an arrest.

A 2010 voter initiative that put a 10 percent cap on Pacific Grove contributions toward employee pensions was ruled unconstitutional Friday by a Monterey County Superior Court judge.
The measure, which was enacted by the City Council into law after proponents collected enough signatures for an election, was designed to reduce the city's growing pension costs.
But it was challenged by the Pacific Grove Police Officers Association and Police Management Association, who said the cap violated city contracts with police and state bargaining law. The ruling by Judge Thomas Wills also invalidated a voter-approved measure that sought to square the pension cap with the city charter.
The police unions' suit contended the ballot measure violated a charter provision that prevents employee compensation from being decided by a voter initiative.
"It's a huge relief," said Jeff Fenton, president of the police officers association.
A call to Pacific Grove's city attorney wasn't returned late Friday afternoon.
Critics who say escalating pension costs are ruining Pacific Grove had criticized the city's handling of the police unions' suit.
Fenton took heart in Friday's ruling and a decision Wednesday by the City Council to seek a court opinion on another pension-related initiative. That proposal would roll back a pension package granted in 2002 for public safety employees, which critics say was illegal because the public and council didn't know all the future costs.
"We jumped a couple of hurdles this week," Fenton said. "It really sets a tone as far the pension reform effort — for the entire city and other cities."
The city and police union are in negotiations on a new contract.
Fenton said the long battle over pension costs took a toll on police morale and ranks in Pacific Grove. He said the police department has seven open positions and about 15 officers.
"Hopefully we can set aside the past and begin to get recruits again," he said.
Larry Parsons can be reached at 646-4379 or email@example.com.

Plants poisonous to horses: the neurotoxic variety
This is the second in a series of articles introducing the toxic plants most likely to poison horses in North America.
Horses are relatively selective grazers and poisoning is comparatively rare, but when feed selection is restricted or when toxic plants are included in prepared feeds, many horses are poisoned.
Unlike the hepatotoxic plants described in the first article, most neurotoxic plants are palatable and produce specific, clinical disease and histologic lesions.Here are some of them, along with associated clinical signs, lesions and sequelae of poisoning and recommendations for treatment and prognosis:
As other forages are exhausted, some horses develop a taste for knapweed and may continue eating it even when supplemented with other forage.
At doses of 50 percent to 200 percent of their body weight over 30 to 90 days, horses develop dysfunction of facial, mouth and throat nerves and muscles.
This poisoning has been called "the chewing disease" (horses chew but can't swallow).
Next comes facial-muscle hypertonicity that causes "smiling," tongue lolling, protruding tongue and head tossing.Trying to drink, some horses submerge their muzzle in the water.
These early neurologic signs become worse and lead to lethargy, loss of interest in food, dehydration, malnutrition, difficulty breathing, incoordination, muscle tremors and severe depression.
Lesions include those of dehydration and starvation, in addition to damage to specific parts of the brain (the substancia nigra and globus pallidus — thus the name negropallidal encephalomalacia).
Horses are uniquely susceptible to this disease. The long exposures and lack of a smaller animal model have made it difficult to positively identify the toxin.
As there is no treatment and the disease is irreversible, it is best to avoid exposure to the plants for prolonged periods.

RIO VISTA — A grass fire on one of the islands in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta sent giant plumes of black smoke into the air above Antioch and other East County cities Sunday, authorities said.
The fire was on the remote part of Lower Sherman Island that's not accessible by vehicle.
A Solano County dispatcher said Sunday night the agency could not confirm a report by KCRA in Sacramento that at least 15 acres had burned, but the agency did confirm that the fire was going to be allowed to burn itself out. No homes are on that part of the island, which is in inaccessible to fire crews.
Nobody was reported injured in the blaze, which spewed ash through the air to places as far away as Brentwood, according to several witnesses who contacted this newspaper. The smoke was particularly thick in areas of Antioch, Oakley and Brentwood, according to witnesses.
Neither Sutter Delta Medical Center or Kaiser Permanente Medical Center reported anyone complaining of smoke inhalation, shortness of breath or other possible effects from the blaze, according to emergency room representatives at the Antioch medical facilities.

Gio labors as Nationals drop opener to Orioles
Lefty allows four runs on eight hits, four walks over 5 2/3 innings
WASHINGTON -- The Battle of the Beltways started Monday afternoon at Nationals Park, and it was the Orioles who defeated the Nationals, 6-2, in front of a sellout crowd of 41,260. The Nationals are now a game over .500 at 26-25.
Left-hander Gio Gonzalez started for Washington and was given a 1-0 lead in the second inning. Facing O's starter Jason Hammel, Adam LaRoche reached base on a single and then stole second base, his second of the season. One out later, Tyler Moore doubled near the left-field line, scoring LaRoche.
But it was all Orioles after that. Gonzalez threw 109 pitches in 5 2/3 innings and left the ball up in the strike zone most of the time. Baltimore was able to get to Gonzalez in the fourth inning. Yamaico Navarro singled to left field, scoring Chris Davis. Two batters later, Nick Markakis drove in Matt Wieters and Navarro with a single to center.
"He had good stuff today. It was really good, but the Orioles did a good job fighting some pitches off and getting some hits to fall," said Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki about Gonzalez's outing. "We probably could have worked more ahead in the count. I could have tried some different things, myself, to get him back in the count. Overall, we were kind of pitching behind all day."
It was obvious Nationals manager Davey Johnson didn't like the way Gonzalez was throwing on the mound.
"He didn't go after them when he needed to. He left a lot of pitches up," Johnson said. "I thought he had pretty good stuff, but it's a good hitting ballclub. You can't give mistakes to them. That's what can happen."
In the fifth, Davis scored the fourth run of the game on a sacrifice fly by Wieters.
Hammel, who improved to 6-0 in his career against Washington, lasted eight innings, allowing two runs on eight hits with eight strikeouts, walking none. It helped that he had 23 first-pitch strikes and had a comfortable lead for most of the game.
"They've been putting up runs for me all year, and kudos to them," Hammel said about his teammates. "It's a lot easier to pitch when you have the lead than when you're down, honestly. You don't put as much pressure on yourself. But these guys have been doing it all year, and the bats continue to stay hot. I was able to stay aggressive in the zone, put it in play, use the fielders and let them go hit."
The second run for Washington scored in the sixth inning after Denard Span led off with a triple and Ryan Zimmerman drove him home with a single to right field.
The Nationals' struggles with runners in scoring position continued. For example, in the seventh inning, Roger Bernadina led off with a double but was left stranded at second base. For the game, the Nationals went 2-for-11 with RISP.
"It's kind of our M.O. We are showing signs of coming out of it, hopefully," Johnson said. "We are down a couple of pretty good players. It's given an opportunity to some guys, who have been struggling."
It doesn't help that the Nationals are without the services of Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth and Danny Espinosa. All three are out because of injuries. Harper has a sore left knee, while Werth and Espinosa are dealing with hamstring and wrist issues, respectively.
"We haven't been able to consistently -- up and down the lineup -- put together good at-bats, day in and day out, " Zimmerman said. "We have to keep working, keep getting better each day. There is a lot of season left, but we need to get going."
The Nationals play three more games against the Orioles this week and it could be tough for Washington to compete without some of its regulars.
"I've played against the Orioles my whole career," Suzuki said. "We had some pretty good success against them. Obviously, some days, they swing the bats. They are good hitters over there. We can pitch to them. If you pitch ahead in the count a little bit, it makes everything a little bit better."

Fairfax County Recognizes Outstanding Employees
At the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors meeting on Jan. 22, the Fairfax County Employees Advisory Council presented the 2006 Don Smith EAC Award to two county employees. The award recognizes individual county employees who have contributed in an outstanding manner to the well-being of fellow employees. The winners received an engraved plaque and a check from the council for $1,000.
The 2006 Don Smith EAC Award winners are:
- Ted Kavich, assistant branch manager at Martha Washington Library, for his improvements to morale and teamwork in the Fairfax County Public Library. Kavich has developed a series of "Murder Mystery Night" events that bring together employees from many branches along with volunteers and patrons to play characters, construct props, design settings and provide refreshments. In a five-year span, Kavich has presented 14 programs at eight different branches.
- Lt. Susan Lamar, Police Department, for her suggestion and initial research that resulted in the implementation of the Wellness Clinic at the Criminal Justice Academy. The Wellness Clinic serves as a resource for health and fitness information to improve or maintain employees' health. Through Lamar's support and efforts, a certified athletic trainer was hired to provide an immediate assessment of employee injuries, quicker access to referrals for follow up care, and better case monitoring.
In addition, three employees received honorable mention awards: Stephen Jozsa, Department of Public Works and Environmental Services; Stephen Lawson, Police Department; and Chuck Wright, Employee Fitness Center. Jozsa was recognized for his volunteer activities with the new employee orientation video and other county events; Lawson was honored for organizing and running a fitness program for department employees; and Wright was saluted for developing fitness programs for county employees.
Fifteen other Fairfax County employees who were nominated received certificates of recognition: Mirza Baig and Mohammad Gharavi, Department of Public Works and Environmental Services; Roberta Butler, Department of Housing and Community Development; Naveed Butt, Wayne Compher and Tim Hoover, Police Department; Susan Farria and Leslie Schmitt, Department of Public Safety Communications; Barbara Hardy, Health Department; Jean Helmandollar, Circuit Court; Joseph Oleksia, Fire and Rescue Department; Christopher Pietsch, Internal Audit; Florence Rowland, Office of the County Executive; and Robert Smith and Elizabeth Wood, Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court.
The Don Smith EAC Award was established by the Employees Advisory Council in 1991 to honor Donald D. Smith, a longtime employee of the Office of Comprehensive Planning who was a mainstay of the EAC for 16 years until his retirement in 1990.

Certificate Program Advising
Certificate of Graduate Studies and
Certificate of Biblical and Theological Studies
The Advising Center wants to help you make informed decisions as you progress toward graduation. CGS/CBTS students often ask two questions:
- How do I select electives?
What brought you to seminary?
Some wish to study the Bible so they use their electives to complete the introductory BE courses.
Some wish to receive theological training so they use their electives to complete the introductory ST courses.
Others wish to develop skills used in ministry (teaching, leadership, etc…) so they use their electives to take courses in these areas.
The key question: What knowledge and skills do you wish to acquire through your DTS training?
- I am curious about completing a master's degree. Should I complete the certificate before changing to a master's degree?
Some students wish to further develop their skills and knowledge through a DTS master's degree. These programs are designed to prepare students for a particular vocation or ministry context. See the various degrees offered at DTS.
As soon as you start to think, "God might want me to complete a degree" or "It would be nice to complete a degree" arrange for an appointment with an Academic Advisor. We can partner with you as you seek to discern the best way forward.
Changing from one program or degree to another is called Reclassification. Fill out the Reclassification Form online to start the process.
Answers to the above questions greatly depend on you. This page provides basic information. Academic Advisors are happy to come alongside you as you journey with the Lord. Schedule an advising appointment today!

New York -- As the holidays approach and retailers are still recovering from Hurricane Sandy, October same-store sales results showcased consistent strength in the department store category.
Nordstrom led the pack with a 9.8% rise in same-store sales for the month, and Macy's Inc. had a solid showing as well.
"Business was strong in October," said Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and CEO of Macy's, Inc. "The key growth strategies we put in place three years ago continue to provide us new opportunities for continuous improvement in driving sales. We are feeling confident about our prospects for the upcoming holiday season and have increased our sales guidance for the fall season, despite the interruption caused by Hurricane Sandy in the first few days of the fourth quarter."
Macy's reported a 4.1% same-store sales rise in October and posted total sales of $1.908 billion for the four weeks ended Oct. 27, an increase of 3.6% compared with $1.842 billion in the prior-year period.
Macy's said it is raising its guidance for same-store sales growth in the second half of 2012 to approximately 4% (an increase from previous guidance of up approximately 3.7%).
Kohl's Corp. reported a 3.3% same-store sales rise on Thursday, and total sales increased 2.6% in the third quarter. The company also announced that it would no longer report monthly sales, effective fiscal 2013.
Other department store same-store sales results in October include:
- Stage Stores beat Wall Street expectations with a 6.5% rise, when just 2.8% was forecast; and
- Bon-Ton Stores gained 3.7%.
