ALBANY, N.Y. - The state Assembly voted on Tuesday to increase the minimum wage from the present $7.25 per hour to $9 per hour.
Mid-Hudson Democrats voted for the measure, while Republicans opposed it.
Freshman Democrat James Skoufis, D- Town of Woodbury, said the measure would benefit the hardworking, low-wage earner.
"You simply can't afford to live anywhere in this state for $15,000 a year, which is what $7.25 an hour full-time works out to be," Skoufis said.
Frank Skartados, D- Milton, said it is good for the families of the region.
"It is good for the economy because it would generate jobs, and of course, the Hudson Valley families would have more to spend," Skartados said.
Kevin Cahill, D- Kingston, said the last time New York "significantly raised" the minimum wage was in 2007, "which is not enough for full-time workers earning the lowest amount legally allowed to survive."
But, Republicans Annie Rabbitt, R- Greenwood Lake, Steven Katz, R- Yorktown, and Kieran Michael Lalor,� R- Fishkill, voted against it, saying it would hurt small businesses.
Katz said owners would have to either cut personnel or raise prices.
Rabbitt said small businesses that depend on high school students and young adults cannot afford such a hike. "That means jobs will be lost and businesses will close."
Lalor called raising the minimum wage "an unfunded mandate on small businesses."
Senate Democratic Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, D- Yonkers, believes there is a good change that the bill could make it through her house as well.
"It takes 32 votes in the Senate in order to be able to make that happen, so we have the lion's share - 27 - so I am hoping that our partners will find the other five somewhere, at least," Cousins said.
Rabbitt said she does not believe the Senate will garner enough votes to pass the bill.

HintIf A is a factor of both B and C, A must be a factor of the three numbers' sum 30.
AnswerIf A=1, then the possibilities are B=1, C=28; ..., B=28, C=1, 28 possibilities;
If A=2, then the possibilities are B=2, C=26; ..., B=26, C=2, 13 possibilities, 41 accumulated;
If A=3, then the possibilities are B=3, C=24; ..., B=24, C=3, 8 possibilities, 49 accumulated;
If A=5, then the possibilities are B=5, C=20; ..., B=20, C=5, 4 possibilities, 53 accumulated;
If A=6, then the possibilities are B=6, C=18; ..., B=18, C=6, 3 possibilities, 56 accumulated;

I was in Dick's Sporting Goods today (the only place that sells discs around here) and noticed they restocked all of their disc items, they actually have alot of Innova discs and bags for the first time (mostly Beasts, Valks, Orcs, Leopards, and Avairs though..), and I saw they had separate and a 3 pack of Frisbee brand golf discs.
I'd never seen them anywhere before and I was just wondering if anyone has used any.
They're actually PDGA approved and the plastic seemed more grippy and soft than DX plastic, but even in the box the stamps were already half rubbed off.
Any opinions?

Front foot key to Trout's timing at the plate
CHICAGO -- Mike Trout struggled for about a three-week stretch in May, batting below .200 and striking out every three at-bats or so. Then he promptly went back to looking like one of the best hitters in baseball again, ultimately posting a .361/.471/.759 slash line in June en route to being named the American League's Player of the Month.
The key for the Angels' superstar center fielder: The front foot.
Specifically, getting it down early.
"Hitting is all about timing," said Trout, who entered Wednesday with an AL-best 1.020 OPS. "If your head's moving, or you're not still on contact, you're not going to succeed. You look at Albert [Pujols], [Miguel] Cabrera, they get their foot down. All the guys who hit the ball well, their foot's down, and at the point of contact, everything's still and their head's on the ball."
Trout has a high leg kick, and if he gets it down early enough, it's a lot easier for him to identify pitches and stay within the strike zone because he doesn't have as many moving parts when he's starting his swing.
The 22-year-old has known this for a while; he just wasn't able to execute it earlier this season and thus "wasn't seeing pitches that I usually see and I was swinging at pitches I normally don't swing at."
"For me, if I tell myself not to do too much and just take a nice, easy swing, it gets my foot down," Trout said. "And if I tell myself to try to go deep or hit it hard, my foot hangs out there longer trying to generate more power. But you don't need to. That's tough, but you just have to trust it, and it'll work."
See? Easy.

Hey there.
In the past few weeks, I have been looking into Theravada in general, and Theravada meditation techniques in particular. I've taken a number of university classes on Buddhist culture and philosophy, so I am accutely aware of the differences between Theravada and the other branches of Buddhsim. However, I am so confused as to what Theravada meditation practices actually are. I have been doing Soto Zen shiktanaza meditation for a number of years, and can't figure out what the heck Theravada meditation is.
On other threads, I've noticed that many on this forum think that Zen shikantaza meditation is samatha practice due to lack of understanding of Zen practices and the etymology of the name "Zen." In shikantaza, you are firmly concentrated on the breath while remaining wide open open and alert to any thoughts, sense perceptions, feelings. You watch these phenomenon rise and pass while being firmly concentrated on the breath such as vipassana, but not exclusively on the breath as in Samatha. (This will inevitably cause someone to post that my description of shikantaza is not correct. Soto Zen is notorious for it's inability to accurately describe the process and its refusal to do so. However, I've tried to break it down so that other people can understand the differences). This is what I have been doing for years. So to then split this practice into two categories, and then to label/count/scan the body/whatever, it all leaves me confused as to what Theravada meditation actually is. And then you have some Theravada schools saying that there is no difference.
Could you help a currently Mahayana, possibly going-to-be Theravada brother out by answering the following questions:
1. What's the "labeling" practice that I keep seeing? Coming from shikantaza that emphasizes direct perception of dharmas without the mediation of language or conceptualization, this practice is really, really jarring for me. Is this something that is intially used as a "crutch" to get beginners started and later abandoned when their practice is strong enough, like counting the breath or is this the main practice? MUST it be used in the beginning?
2. Which method should I start with? I understand the differences between samatha and vipassana. I also understand that some Theravada schools say that they're inseparable... All of this contradictory advice is really confusing to somehow who isn't already acquainted with the practice(s). So, if someone wants to start Theravada meditation, what do you do? Is it common for beginners to just start with vipassana?
3. These directions by Bhikkhu Sona, http://www.arrowriver.ca/dhamma/nimitta.html, are they samatha, vipassana, or both?
4. The "in/out," "rising/falling," "body scanning," "labeling," "county the breath" practices... are the all interchangeable or are they separate practices? Are they the main practice or 'crutches' to get you started? Are these used with samatha or vipassana?

Golf's Super Agent
Chubby Chandler's clients include four major tournament winners and a solid cast of golf's biggest stars
(continued from page 5)
Not since Mark McCormack made a handshake deal with Arnold Palmer in 1960 and used that relationship to build the International Management Group, has an agent been so front and center in the sport.
Chubby Chandler has gathered a stable of proven veterans and blossoming superstars with handshakes and turned it into International Sports Management, a company of global reach that nonetheless remains very much a close-knit family. Within that family are major tournament winners Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy, Charl Schwartzel, Louis Oosthuizen and Ernie Els. Major contender Lee Westwood is part of the flock. So, too, Simon Dyson, a two-time winner in 2011 on the European PGA Tour and LPGA player Christina Kim.
During the summer of 2011 there was even talk of the "Chubby Slam" going into the PGA Championship with Schwartzel winning the Masters, McIlroy the U.S. Open and the 42-year-old Clarke winning the British Open. Since when were "Slam" and "agent" ever linked?
In a sport conducted with hushed and guarded voices, Chandler is somewhat of a loudmouth, only by virtue of his candidness. While others—agents, players and officials—deal with the media as a necessary evil, Chandler embraces his role as spokesman for his players, addressing their virtues and their shortcomings with equal sincerity.
Clarke was Chandler's first big handshake in 1990, having started his business in 1989 after abandoning his own 14-year pro career with one tournament victory.
Clarke speaks to the heart of Chandler's appeal.
"Chubby, he's been my manager, he's been like another father for me; he's been a friend for a very long time. He's looked after me through thick and thin and, as I've said, through the good times and the bad times, he's always been there for me. I've annoyed him a few times and he's annoyed me a few times, but not many. I think you could count it on one hand in 21 years. We have a special relationship with no contract, shake of a hand, and his word is good enough for me."
Chandler's career as an agent began when he started selling himself as a golfer. The man from Bolton, England (near Manchester), was better at promoting himself than he was as a player. He was good, but just not good enough, and knew he would have to do something besides slash a ball around if he was to have anything like success. In his best Bolton accent, which turns major into "mayja," Chandler, 59, says:
"I needed an alternative to selling tee pegs and giving lessons. I would have been a club pro. I suppose I would have wanted to be a director of golf. I knew I was good at PR, but I didn't really know what PR was. I was good at talking with the media, with sponsors, that sort of thing. I got along well. I stopped playing and formed my company International Sports Management in 1989. I was making a living, barely a living."
He started out with four lesser-known players—Carl Mason, Derek Cooper, Phil Harrison and Dennis Durnian—friends of his from the Tour.
"If I could get sponsorships for myself, I could do it for others," says Chandler, sitting in the media center of the Irish Open in Killarney, doing his usual rounds. "I could do it because it was me, it was who I was. I could sell myself. I had been doing deals for myself since 1977. There was a kitchen company I did a deal with for 8,000 pounds for the logo and a few company outing days. That was 1981. 8,000 pounds doesn't sound like much, but 30 years ago that was a pretty good deal."
What Chandler was good at doing was camaraderie. He could connect his friends in the game with his friends in the executive offices. It was just what he was doing for himself and there really was no line for him between the locker room, the board room and the bar room. His gift for gab, even though he didn't know he had it, and his desire to be part of the game and the lives of those that played it, drove him to do what came naturally.
He got a few contracts for his original cadre of players. Then he got a phone call that would change everything.
"In May of 1990 an Irish lawyer I knew called and said there was a really good young player in the Irish Amateur, that he was going to win the thing and he wanted someone to talk to about whether he should turn pro," says Chandler. "That was Darren Clarke. So he won the Amateur and I went over to meet him. Because he was talented, and playing golf was what he wanted to do, turning pro was the logical thing."
The 20-year-old Clarke and Chandler shared a gregarious quality that led to an instant connection. Clarke asked about a contract and Chandler responded with an explanation of the Palmer-McCormack handshake agreement.
"Then we'll do that," Clarke responded.
"He said, 'I just want to play golf and you do everything else,' " says Chandler. "It meant doing absolutely everything else and it still means doing absolutely everything else. The chat with Darren became the template for the whole company. He was a gregarious, handsome, overspending young man. He is very straight and honest."
Based on Clarke's success as a pro (though he did not win a "mayja" until his stirring British Open triumph in July), Chandler was able to add talent, like Westwood, Graeme McDowell (who left him before his U.S. Open title), the superstar in the making Rory McIlroy, the brilliant young South African Charl Schwartzel and his countryman Louis Oosthuizen, and the veteran "mayja" winner Ernie Els.
For the record, Els announced in September that he was leaving Chandler, who he signed with in 2005, to consolidate all his business in Florida where he lives. Els hooked up with a new agency, Pros Inc, headed by Vinny Giles and Buddy Marucci.
Both Els and Chandler were publicly buddy-buddy about the split, Chandler saying he was sure he would still be having a few beers with Els. McDowell left Chandler in 2007, with Chandler blaming himself, saying that he did not pay enough attention to him.
Chandler's business expanded into other sports: cricket, soccer, snooker (yes, snooker) and Paralympics swimmer Heather Frederiksen. In fact, it was the success of English cricketer Andrew Flintoff that gave Chandler the experience he needed to deal with all the demands on his major winners, starting with Oosthuizen at St Andrews in 2010.
"While I didn't have a major winner until Louis [Els had won his majors before signing with Chandler], I had dealt with the situation like that before with Andrew Flintoff," says Chandler. "He was the absolute hero of the Ashes [test match] between England and Australia in 2005. He certainly was as big as Rory was winning the Open."
At this year's Masters, Chandler was torn by emotions. His young superstar McIlroy was leading going into the final round but started letting things slip away. Then he pull hooked his drive on the 10th hole, ending up between member cabins for his second shot. He fell like a stone down the leaderboard and out of contention.
But Schwartzel caught fire, made birdie on the last four holes and donned the Green Jacket.
"At the Masters, you can imagine my emotions with Rory and Charl," says Chandler. "Rory's sort of dying in public and Charl is making birdie on the last four holes to win. I was having incredible highs and lows in the same breath."
It was in that moment, of Schwartzel's high and McIlroy's low, that all of Chandler's acumen was required. Perhaps more so than any other agent, Chandler is not just a deal maker, but a mentor, a shepherd. The congratulations for Schwartzel weren't as important as the consolation of McIlroy, though he knew his young charge was tough at heart, that it was just a bad day, and that there were good ones to come.
"I've learned that when something happens like what happened to Rory, you want to buy some time," says Chandler, who had publicly vowed that his goal for McIlroy was not to make him a basket case by age 25. "There are too many emotions when something like that happens. In Rory's case, we didn't talk about the Masters for probably 10 days. He went off to Malaysia straight away. I know he wasn't as down as people think he might have been. Right after it, he said he had a bad day, it was just a golf tournament, that he was 21 and a lot of future in front of him."
Chandler knew in his role as mentor and shepherd, that McIlroy was not prepared for that Masters moment, that despite his major talent, he did not look like a major winner. Among the cricketers he represents is Michael Vaughan, once the English captain and someone he calls upon for sage advice. Chandler likes to get his veteran athletes together, to discuss the experiences of his younger players and how they might handle the pressure better.
"I could tell when he went to the first tee at Augusta on Sunday that his body language wasn't correct. He had his head down as he walked through the crowd and he looked straight down when he walked on the tee. It was like he didn't want to engage them.
"I talked with Mike Vaughan and he said when players were under pressure they always looked straight down," says Chandler. "He wanted them to look at the horizon, keep their eyes up, keep engaged.
"I said to Rory at Congressional, 'keep your head up, engage the crowd, embrace it.' And I think you could see the difference straight away as he walked to the first tee. It was head up all the way, looking at the crowd."
And ultimately looking a long way back to the second place finisher.
"He told me to look back at that last day at the Masters," says McIlroy. "He asked me to look at my body language and look at how much, even on the front nine when I was still in the lead, how much I was looking down at my feet and down on the ground instead of keeping my eyes up and maybe about level with the crowd. It just gives you a more confident body language and your chest is out, even if it's a subconscious thing. But it did; it definitely helped. I needed to believe a bit more and believe that I could do it."
While Clarke's career had been successful, he always had issues with his confidence, and then he took a serious blow when his wife Heather was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2004 and died in 2006. Suddenly his focus couldn't be squarely on golf anymore, and Chandler's focus couldn't be just on marshalling his career.
"Things come along that no one can prepare for," says Chandler. "Darren lost a good six years of his career during her illness and the grieving period. All you can do is be there for him, when he wanted to talk, wanted to cry. There were still things that had to been done for his career, but they were very much on the back burner. I just had to be a friend. It was all I could be."

Lions finish 15th in 35 team field; Campos is best finisher
Next up: the Sooner Athletic Conference Championship in two weeks
WINFIELD, Kansas -- The first year Men's Cross Country program at Southwestern Assemblies of God University went 381 miles and made a powerful statement about their all-freshman team.
Competing against a field of 35 teams at the NAIA's Mid-States Classic, SAGU finished 15th and had a host of praiseworthy accomplishments.
The Lions average time of their top five male finishers in the 8K (4.97 miles) was 27:48:51. Head Coach Jason Covarrubias pointed out that the figure was an improvement of 40 seconds over the squad's previous best.
Plus, all five turned in their personal best times of the season.
"The men ran in a very competitive field and placed quite well," he said. "The weather was great and the course was flat with a few rolling hills. That is a great combination for fast times!"
"This race was great for our young runners!"
"There is no doubt about it," he continued, "we came out of the fire primed and ready for our first crack (as a program) at the SAC Championships!"
Adam Godwin, of No. 9 ranked Oklahoma Baptist University, finished in first at 24:24.08, though the Bison took second to Oklahoma City University. There were over 200 runners in the men's division.
Leading the way for the Lions was 5-foot-4 Jose L. Campos (Luling, Tx / Luling HS). He was clocked at 54th with a time of 26:38.94.
The next finisher for SAGU was John "BJ" Hillhouse (Brookshire, Tx / Royal HS) at 27:12.92. Brad Beimler (Waxahachie, Tx / Waxahachie HS) was next, sixteen seconds later (27:28.93).
Juan Rubio (Rockdale, Tx / Rockdale HS) was fourth (28:08.29) for Team Purple, while Christian Yglecias (Cameron, Tx / C.H. Yoe HS) was next (29:33.44).
Luke Flattery (Springfield, Mo / Central HS) was one of the tallest runners in the field at 6'5. He crossed the line in sixth (30:32.19). The Lions inaugural team has seven harriers.
The field had teams from eight states, including several who were nationally ranked. OKCU was the highest at No. 6, and they took the top prize.
SAGU did manage to defeat one of our sister schools, Evangel University (Springfield, Mo), who finished 21st.
Next on the horizon for SAGU is the Sooner Athletic Conference Championship in two weeks. The event takes place in Shawnee, Oklahoma on Saturday, November 9.

Category: cold-weather names
Winter baby names are, quite literally, cool. While summer names can be sultry, spring names fresh and autumn names colorful, the increasingly trendy wintry names have an image that is crisp and clear, white and snowy. Some of these cold-climate names are fairly obvious—Winter being the extreme example– while others are a bit more subtle, ranging from calendar months to ski resorts to weather conditions to international twists.

Tomorrow I will be oficially working there in training at the Elwood store. I am very nervous, I have never worked in a retail environment. I have always either worked in social work or diesel mechanics. I was drawn to Autozone because it gets me connections with other people for my business, which is building engines for street rods for the most part. I liked that they have a pretty nice discount for employees. Wish me luck. Sounds like a nice place to work.

Getting a mani-pedi may help you feel like the ultimate goddess, and for good reason. Not only do the procedures rid your feet of layers upon layers of dead skin, but the gentle massage on both feet and hands certainly helps work out painful kinks. If you've been stuck in a nail polish rut - selecting the same professional nail polish shade time and again - the moment to step out of your comfort zone is now. Here are a few of the most fabulous nail polish trends to try in the coming weeks:
Style icon: Miranda Cosgrove
Nothing spells summer quite like the gorgeous and ultra feminine light pink hue. Cosgrove recently refreshed our memory of how stellar and chic the color can be when used on your nails, giving a clean, sophisticated look to your tips. According to Glamour magazine, the actress chose a cool milky-pink color that was bright enough to stand out, but modest enough to wear at the office - a total win-win for any career woman.
Picking up a shade like CND Nail Colour - Pinks in Frosting Cream may be your best bet to achieve Cosgrove's look. However, before applying the gorgeous summer party pink hue, you should treat your hands to an application of moisturizing and wrinkle-reducing cream such as the Elemis Spa At Home Revitalise Me Hand Lotion to soften and tone your skin.
Style Icon: Shay Mitchell
This style guru certainly knows how to play up her naturally sun-kissed skin, whether it be by adding equally warm makeup products on her face, or adding high fashion to her toes. It's the latter we're interested in currently, as Mitchell donned a gorgeous tangerine-peach color on her feet that literally took our breath away.
The hue was the perfect combination of bold tangerine and softer, more feminine peach, helping to provide Mitchell's feet with a pop of color - without taking away from her ensemble (or her wild metallic gold peep-toe wedges). A color like this might be best reserved for your toes, or both your feet and hands if you're headed on a tropical getaway.
Though it might be OK for some work environments, the style may be a bit too bright for others, so sticking with the toes is a safe bet, while still allowing your true personality to shine through.

In about two months, homeless residents wandering the streets of downtown San Rafael could be gainfully employed by the city, cleaning and maintaining the blocks they traverse.
The San Rafael City Council is voting Tuesday on whether to enter into a one-year, $272,000 contract with the Downtown Streets Team — a Palo Alto-based nonprofit that helps homeless people find work and rebuild their lives.
Eileen Richardson, executive director of the Downtown Streets Team, said participants are paid to pick up litter, erase graffiti and keep city blocks pristine.
"It's really a broom and a dustpan and sweeping the streets at the most basic level," Richardson said.
She said it gives homeless residents an opportunity to work, allowing them to experience responsibility and pride. She said the idea is to have a team of 12 people pick up trash and beautify downtown San Rafael for 20 hours a week.
The city has been considering partnering with the organization for about a year as a way to alleviate the local homeless problem.
San Rafael Police Chief Diana Bishop said the city has a large population of homeless residents, some of whom exhibit behaviors that frighten city residents.
"Sometimes people with a mental illness, a dog that's menacing, or a certain persona creates a perception of 'I'm not safe,'" Bishop said.
A group of city officials, residents and downtown business owners have been mulling ways to help homeless residents and address community concerns about loitering and public safety issues since last summer. The committee in partnership with the Thursday Morning Group — a group that also started last summer to address homeless issues — recommended the Downtown Streets Team be hired.
Jonathan Frieman, Thursday Morning Group founder, said he supports bringing the program to the city and not having to create a similar one from scratch.
"They were doing what we wanted to do," Frieman said. "It's just the kind of thing we need."
Homeless committee member Hugo Landecker agreed.
"It has got a track record of success. That part I think is very important," Landecker said.
He said the program won't eliminate all the problems with homeless people downtown, but will likely help. He said the homeless issue has been neglected for many years.
About 1,220 homeless people live in Marin County with 45 percent residing in San Rafael, according to the county's biennial 2011 "Point-in-Time Count." The count revealed that the majority of the county's homeless are men, ages 31 to 50. Most stated the primary reasons for their homelessness were job loss, a lack of affordable housing and a lack of income.
Richardson said those who participate in the program will receive gift cards each week — typically $100 — for food, clothing and other essentials.
Once they've proved their commitment by working and attending weekly meetings, a case manager can help homeless residents write resumes, gain access to housing and even help connect them with psychiatric care. Participants can be part of the program for one year and can move up through the ranks, becoming team leaders and supervisors.
Ann-Marie Meacham, spokeswoman for the Downtown Streets Team, said the ultimate desire is to provide the tools and help people need to achieve their own goals, which hopefully include permanent housing and stable employment.
"We don't just say, 'Here's a food voucher, a place to sleep.' We say, 'What is it you're trying to achieve?'" Meacham said.
The team organization initially began in 2005 in Palo Alto, but has expanded to San Jose, Sunnyvale and even Florida. Richardson said it originated as a way to solve panhandling and blight issues. She said additional employment opportunities have opened up to the existing teams by partnering with nonprofits to provide janitorial services.
Richardson said the team's program has been wildly successful, and that they're excited to potentially expand to San Rafael.
"It's incredible to see how life changing it is if you just give somebody a chance," Richardson said. "They just needed a chance and not to be judged."
San Rafael Mayor Gary Phillips said he hopes the council will approve the contract Tuesday so the Downtown Streets Team can get started in a couple of months.
"We look forward to improving our downtown," Phillips said. "We hope to have (the program) continuing for a number of years."
He said the team's efforts would be funded by $25,000 from the county, $50,000 from the Marin Community Foundation, $100,000 from Marin General Hospital, $50,000 from Kaiser Permanente San Rafael and the remaining $47,000 from the city. The exact details and contracts have yet to be inked, but Phillips said the idea is that the funding will be used to create more beds at the Vine Detox Center in San Rafael, where people can undergo alcohol and drug detoxification.
Instead of sending intoxicated homeless people to the jail or hospital, both of which Phillips said are costly, they'll be able to take more people to the detox center. Supposedly this will save the hospitals and county money, allowing them to funnel through funding for the streets team.
"We'll have more beds at the county, thus alleviating some of the pressure at the hospitals," Phillips said.
Bishop said the police department wants to utilize the detox center more than it has in the past, so people can get the help they need instead of entering the jail's revolving door. She said this plan, along with the streets team and the ongoing effort to hire a mental health outreach person, should help homeless residents and alleviate concerns from those who may feel frightened by them or their behavior.
"All these little things, I think they'll all take a little bit of a bite out of our issues," Bishop said.
Last October, the city launched an initiative to increase patrols of areas frequented by the homeless and step up enforcement for minor infractions, such as drinking alcohol from open containers and urinating in public in the downtown area. During the last enforcement period, from Nov. 5 to Nov. 21, police made 53 arrests and wrote 20 citations.
While some residents were pleased with the crackdown, others called for the city to do more by focusing on service programs for the homeless instead of punishment measures.
The Rev. Paul Gaffney, with the Marin Interfaith Council, said something needs to be done to help local homeless residents, but that he has mixed feelings about the Downtown Streets Program. He said the program is expensive and raises a lot of concerns.
"I think that there are other more creative ways to spend $272,000 to help people who are homeless," Gaffney said.
He said it seems patronizing to give homeless workers gift cards instead of paying them in cash and to only pay them about $5 an hour for labor. He said he's not convinced the homeless people he works with will feel the low-paying job is worth the effort.
Instead of paying a program manager $60,000 a year to oversee the program, Gaffney suggested that person's hours be cut in half and the remaining money be used to bolster the pay for participants.
"When we create more programs that necessitate hiring more people in expensive administrative positions at the expense of paying people fairly, I have an ethical issue with that," Gaffney said.
While supportive of the program's intent, he said his concerns are simply a reflection of those he ministers to.
"We'll have to wait and see how much bang we're actually going to get for our buck," he said.

Photographer continues working at Fraja Simpson charity event while suffering heart attack
3:08pm Monday 17th February 2014
3:08pm Monday 17th February 2014
A PHOTOGRAPHER who continued working to raise funds for a girl battling cancer while having his tenth heart attack is recovering in hospital.
Paul Booth, of Scorton, near Catterick Village, said he carried on taking photos of guests at a Valentine's ball for 75 minutes after experiencing heart attack as he did not want to let five-year-old Fraja Simpson down or spoil the event.
Mr Booth, who called an ambulance for himself after taking photos of the 230 guests to the event at Derwent Manor Hotel, near Consett, was set to donate half the proceeds he raised from photo sales to the Fraja Ellie Appeal.
He was taken to the University of Hospital of North Durham, where it was found he had suffered a major heart attack and also had pneumonia, before being transferred to the James Cook University Hospital, in Middlesbrough.
Mr Booth said yesterday that he expected to remain in hospital for a few more days and was hoping doctors would decide if he could undergo surgery.
Fraja's parents, Michelle and Garry, of RAF Leeming, near Bedale, said they had been stunned by Mr Booth's selflessness and determination to help raise funds.
An appeal spokeswoman said everyone who attended the event, which raised £6,500 towards the £500,000 appeal to fund relapse treatment for Fraja in the US, was praying Mr Booth would make a full recovery.
She said: "He is a lovely man and was more concerned about what he missed on the evening."
The event featured entertainment by comedian Lee Brannigan, and music by The Buskers and Emmerdale actor Natalie Anderson, who donated £5,000 she won earlier this month on television show Family Fortunes, bringing the appeal total to more than £190,000.
Fraja is set to undergo tests later this month to see if her MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma has remained stable.

Journey Towards a Living Wage
A post by Wilbert Flinterman, the Senior Advisor on Workers' Rights and Trade Union Relations of Fairtrade International. Read more about Fairtrade's perspective on workers' rights here.
The topic of living wage has exploded into public consciousness – from striking fast food workers in the USA, to global clothing companies in Bangladesh, to speeches by the Archbishop of York.
A living wage allows a worker to cover the essential needs of their family, with a little extra for "just in case". The legal minimum wage too often falls far short of this, leaving workers around the world mired in poverty. So what is needed to finally transform workers' wages?
The living wage challenge
Living wage has been part of the Fairtrade Standards for years. Our Standard for Hired Labour states that plantations must start off paying the legal minimum wage then progress towards a living wage.
First obstacle: there is no agreed living wage for agricultural workers. Without knowing what a living wage is, how can we get there?
Then there is the question of how to move companies towards paying a living wage. We need to make sure plantations can raise wages and stay in business, otherwise there is a risk of workers losing their jobs and ending up in a far worse situation.
Some Fairtrade plantations form a bloc with other companies to negotiate with local unions on a standard wage level for all workers in the sector. In these cases it's not enough to only address wages on Fairtrade farms.
Without a solution to these questions – and even though workers have long benefited from Fairtrade Premiums for education, health care, career development and community projects –they have not seen enough progress on wages. Following our 2012 workers' rights strategy, we have initiated a significant project to move towards living wage and we are bringing others along too.
So how much is a living wage?
Our first task was to figure out how much a living wage actually is – how much money does a farm worker need to cover family living costs?
Fairtrade International commissioned experts Richard and Martha Anker to adapt their existing living wage methodology to the needs of agricultural workers. The new methodology estimates a farm worker's expenses based on three "baskets" of costs: nutritious food, decent housing, and other essential needs. It collects actual costs of workers and their families.
We ran four pilots to set national rural living wages using this new method. The Ankers worked with local teams to collect costs for South African wine grape farms, Dominican Republic banana plantations, Malawian tea plantations, and Kenyan flower plantations. We were delighted to have support from Social Accountability International (SAI) Sustainable Agriculture Network/Rainforest Alliance (SAN/RA) and UTZ Certified in our endeavour.
Now we are beginning the large task to set rural living wage levels in all regions around the world where we have Fairtrade certified plantations and hired labour set-ups.
And once living wage benchmarks are agreed and in place, the even bigger work will begin: tackling 'how' farms can transition to actually paying a living wage…
And what needs to happen for companies to pay it?
For real change on wages we need to start with the position of workers. Our vision is that workers themselves can negotiate and influence their pay and working conditions.
Our recently revised Fairtrade Standard for Hired Labour requires employers to negotiate with workers' representatives on wages if these are below the living wage benchmarks. There must be annual increases on workers' real wages towards living wage.
Workers need strong organizations to represent them in these negotiations. Our new Hired Labour Standard greatly strengthens workers' Freedom of Association in practice. Fairtrade International is also directly supporting trade unions in a number of regions with Fairtrade certified plantations.
We also changed the rules for the Fairtrade Premium, so workers can spend up to 20% of the Premium for cash or in-kind benefits, or up to 50% if the majority are migrant workers. (We consulted over 400 workers and got strong feedback to keep the Fairtrade Premium focused on collective projects.)
At the same time, we are working to build a critical mass for change. Although sales are growing around the world, Fairtrade makes up a small percentage of global trade. Our ability to transform workers' wages is limited if we act alone.
We have joined with other standard-setting organizations to form a living wage working group, including SAI, GoodWeave, SAN/RA, UTZ Certified and Forest Stewardship Council. Together we are a strong voice from the voluntary standards movement promoting a single living wage definition and methodology.
We are also reaching out to companies individually and through multi-stakeholder platforms like the World Banana Forum and the Ethical Tea Partnership. With Oxfam, the Ethical Tea Partnership and local industry we are working to define and agree a living wage strategy for tea workers in Malawi.
We have begun to sit down with companies from across the supply chain, using the new living wage benchmarks to figure out how much each one must pay to share the costs of raising wages. Our message to brands, traders and retailers is that there is no way that their suppliers can successfully deal with this issue alone. Everybody has to pitch in.
Ultimately, paying workers a living wage must be a journey for us all. It needs everyone in the supply chain – the local plantations, exporters and importers, brands, retailers and everyday shoppers – to be willing to pay a little more so workers at the far end of the supply chain can receive a living wage.

Whether it's creating more places for sidewalk cafes, allowing pedestrians, equestrians, bicyclists and cars to equally navigate through town or the building of new homes and a downtown hotel, several major projects are poised to deliver a healthy dose of change – and a side of headache and frustration for some during the next two decades.
Proponents say the intersection work at I-5 and Ortega – massive in scope – will relieve an equally massive existing traffic chokepoint, while the housing, business and equestrian projects will excite and enliven the community. Still, some business leaders and residents are questioning at what cost change and progress will come to this historic town.
No one is disputing that the scale of work to be done will cause traffic delays and detours, but City Manager Karen Brust said partners in the project – government and property owners – will work in concert to make project timelines and milestones.
"We are working together to find ways to make this exciting," Brust said. "We're not only great but will be greater. The council wants to celebrate this."
All efforts are being made to make sure that detours are clear, and the projects are planned to begin as earlier ones are completed, said Jim Ross, the city's interim public works director.
To ensure that downtown businesses are viable and have access, the city established the Mayoral Economic Preservation Subcommittee in August to oversee any concerns. The group, made up of property and business owners, members of the city's Chamber of Commerce, city staff and California Department of Transportation representatives, will hold monthly meetings.
It's all about taking something historical and protecting it while enhancing its assets, said Laura Freese, a leading revitalization proponent. She points to the Mission San Juan Capistrano's gate restoration as a perfect example.
"We also want to make sure the existing businesses in San Juan are protected to be successful in their business endeavors," she said.
Plans to market the city to locals and regional guests include radio ads and bus wraps.
"What we want is for people to say, 'Oh, cool, there are all kinds of activities going on down there.'"
The $86.2 million project targets what Caltrans calls one of the county's worst chokepoints. Work on the new interchange will leave portions of I-5, Ortega Highway and the on- and off-ramps closed for weeks at a time. Much of the work that will be most disruptive to motorists will be done at night and on weekends, Caltrans officials said.
The bridge will be closed during weekend construction from midnight to 6 a.m. The bridge will be built in segments to prevent it from being completely closed. Several local businesses have been shuttered in preparation for the project. They include two Chevron gas stations, a Union 76 station, a Denny's, a Jack in the Box and, most recently, an Arby's.
City officials are now working on a plan to minimize business impacts during the project. One plan is to relax signage restrictions for businesses so they can continue to draw customers while the project is ongoing. The council will consider reducing the fee for event permits to encourage people to use Historic Town Center Park. Other ideas to encourage access include using trolleys to move passengers from JSerra Catholic High School into downtown and decreasing the cost of Metrolink fares.
There are fears that some businesses will not be able to weather the project as well as others. Mark Bodenhamer, executive director of the Chamber of Commerce in San Juan, said the impact of this project could mean the difference between staying open and going out of business.
The new master plan spreads across 150 acres of the city. The goal is to preserve and enhance the town center as the civic and commercial heart of the city. Designers plan to create a pedestrian-oriented public realm with "outdoor rooms" in which people and the town will thrive. The plan also includes ways to rebalance transportation and parking to coexist with pedestrian, bicycle, transit and equestrian access and circulation.
Studio One Eleven, a Long Beach-based firm, has developed the new look. The project is an update of the 1995 master plan and the city's general plan.
In the plan commercially-zoned square footage will double, but retail space will be slightly reduced. The plan adds 180,000 square feet of hotel space and 274,850 square feet of residential space.
The plan adds 769 shared parking spaces in public lots and structures, while onsite parking requirements for property owners will be reduced.
A section of Forster Street will be extended across Historic Town Center Park to connect with Del Obispo Street. A section of Yorba Street will be extended slightly to connect with a planned parking structure along Ortega Highway. El Camino Real will connect with Del Obispo and Avenida Los Amigos is set to extend north to Plaza Del Obispo.
Ortega Highway between Del Obispo and Camino Capistrano near the mission will be widened by one lane in each direction, with added parking on the north side of Ortega.
The three-year, $3.3 million project includes a rehabilitation of the original gatehouse, built in 1919 to collect a 10-cent admission from visitors, and a wider public plaza in front of the mission with shaded benches and bike racks.The project also includes a new gift shop that will help raise funds for future renovations at the mission. The larger area will also provide easier entry for the 50,000-plus fourth-graders who visit annually.
If developers get a signoff from the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board to begin landfill improvements, work can begin in 18 months on the site of a former landfill on 135 acres in the San Juan Meadows off La Novia, said Robb Cerruti, a principal with Advanced Real Estate Services.
The development is on two lots on either side of La Novia, bordered by Valle Road, San Juan Creek and the San Juan Hills Golf Course. Ninety-four single-family lots will be located on the 135 acres. That location will also include a 500-horse equestrian center. The homes will be on 10,000-square-foot lots with a view of the San Juan Valley.
Across La Novia, there are 19 acres that will become home to about 85,000 square feet of commercial space including a boutique market, restaurants and neighborhood-serving businesses. There will also be a mix of 130 apartments and condominiums. The project was approved by the city in November 2010 after a process of nearly four years. That process ended after a referendum was put to voters, who approved of a less dense plan.
The project will incorporate a massive network of trails that connect through the city's open space. La Novia will also be improved through wide sidewalks and landscaping.
Cerruti, a resident of San Juan, is confident the development will help improve lives for residents already in the community through the equestrian facility, the connectivity of trails, and new restaurants and businesses for those living on the east side of the freeway.
"San Juan Capistrano doesn't approve developments without thoughtful considerations and without meeting with the cultural community," Cerruti said.
Grading has begun on Sendero, the first of five multiple planned for the new ranch community. Sendero covers 690 acres and includes 940 homes and 200 apartments. A grand opening is planned for summer.
In all, there will be 6,000 acres of residential, commercial and mixed-use development. The villages will be developed over the next two decades and will include about 14,000 homes. About 6,000 of those homes will be built for active adults throughout the entire community. The first village, Sendero, will have 285 of these homes in an enclave called Gavilan. About 17,000 acres will be added to open space and will be part of a 33,000-acre reserve known as the Reserve at Rancho Mission Viejo.
The community will also include schools, civic uses, child care centers, places of worship and about 5 million square feet of non-residential uses – including shopping, dining and employment centers.

Energy Consumption Had a Surprising Dip
There is a surprise in energy consumption data. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) publishes electricity consumption data for each month. Summer figures are in, and national consumption was down from 2011 levels. The impact on utilities, particularly generating utilities, will be reflected in their quarterly earnings.
Summer is the critical period for most North American generating utilities. It is when residential, commercial and industrial consumers consume the most energy to run millions of air conditioning units. It is also when utilities expect the highest rates. Generating utilities look forward to booking their highest margins in the summertime. That is, unless demand for energy drops....587 more words left in this article.

Emergency Airlift makes the move back to North Bend
NORTH BEND, Ore. -- Emergency Airlift is back in North Bend after a temporary move to Roseburg in 2012.
As chief flight nurse Susan Schindler said, every second counts in a medical emergency.
"They're here 24 hours a day, so there's always a paramedic and a pilot on call," said Schindler.
Their helicopter is used to transport critical care patients from up and down Oregon's south coast to the regional medical centers that can save their lives.
"It takes us approximately about 20 to 30 minutes to get up to Eugene," Schindler said. "When you're talking about saving heart muscle... time is everything."
Armed with the tools to save a life before getting to the hospital, the Emergency Airlift crew can start doing critical treatment to those patients mid-flight.
Schindler said if you are having a medical emergency, call 9-1-1 first. The helicopter will be sent if needed.

Hi everyone,
i really enjoy doing shikantaza, the zen meditation, because i can do it during daily activities all day if i wanted to. but i dont want it to damage my progress with the brahma viharas. are these two practices ok to combine? ive heard shikantaza is a mixture of samatha and vipassana so i dont think it would be bad to practice the brahma viharas with shikantaza but i am not sure. thank you. metta, Befriend

Dear Dr. Don,
I am 28 years old and working as a consultant. I do not have a 401(k) at work. What is the best way to invest that will allow me to see some returns and also defer taxes? Down the line, maybe next year, I am thinking of buying my first home as well. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
-- Su Situation
Dear Su,
I like when people in their 20s start to invest for retirement, but if you're just going to raid the retirement fund next year to make a down payment on a first home, then that's not saving for retirement. Ideally, you'd be working toward both life goals: saving for the down payment on the house and putting aside money for retirement. If you have to choose one or the other, work on the more immediate goal first, then switch your sights to the next goal.
Don't let taxes be the tail wagging the dog when it comes to achieving your financial goals. While you can contribute to a traditional individual retirement account and achieve your objective of tax-deferred investing, then take the money out next year using the first-time homebuyer's exemption, you would only be putting off the income taxes by one year while managing to avoid the 10 percent penalty tax on early withdrawals. If your marginal income tax rate next year will be the same as this year's, then you won't be accomplishing much.
With a one-year planning horizon for the home purchase, I don't advise swinging for the fences as you invest the money. Stay conservative, and don't take risks with your savings for the down payment.
Think through how you plan to finance that new home. You can finance it with as little as 3.5 percent down with a Federal Housing Administration loan. While there are costs associated with using this type of financing -- including the triggering of mortgage insurance premiums -- you can balance those costs against the potential for rising home prices and mortgage interest rates.
Compare the FHA route with the costs of conventional financing. You may decide it's worth it to go with an FHA loan and get into your first home sooner, rather than saving up for a 10 percent to 20 percent down payment with conventional financing.

Jessica...Philip...Joshua - they all put it on the line this performance. Who comes up just short?
Jessica...Philip...Joshua - they all put it on the line this performance. Who comes up just short?
The cure for boredom is curiosity. There is no cure for curiosity. Dorothy Parker, (attributed)
Jessica looks like she is going to prom in that purple long gown.
1st round: judges song choice
2nd round: contestants choice
3rd round: Jimmy's song choice
Joshua is up first. He looks pretty snazzy tonight .
Joshua's singing Etta James' "I'd Rather Be Blind." LOVED the ending!
Wow! Just try to beat that, Phil and Jessica. Outstanding! I'd Rather Be Blind by Etta James. I just think he absolutely HAS to win.
Wait! Did they just play the beginning of the same song in that Kraft salad dressing commercial?
That was a great song choice for Joshua! Loved it.
He should be in the finale; his voice is amazing and he is so humble. Just worry though because he has been in the bottom 3 along with Jessica so I wonder if he and Jessica are fighting for the last spot. Seems like Philip is the popular choice this season. He also has the prime spot tonight going last.
Another age inappropriate song for Jessica. Good grief.
I'm not familiar with this Mariah Carey song, is it supposed to be this high pitched?
What song is this? It sounds pretty, but she's not enunciating her words. She's losing it in the lower register.
It was me. I let the dogs out.
This song is, in a word, WRONG for Jessica. Easily her worst performance. Sounds like a really sick bird.
I mean, you know, Randy, you're FOS.

When the Federal Reserve recently implemented its latest round of bond buying and said that low interest rates would persist at least until the unemployment rate fell below 6.5%, one might have wondered how long that would take. It turns out, it might not be until 2016 before unemployment is reduced below the Fed's target, assuming the economy keeps growing between now and then.
One reason is that the unemployment rate has fallen as more people have dropped out of the labor force, thus they are not counted as unemployed. (The labor force consists of people either working or actively looking for work. One must be actively looking for work to be classified as "unemployed" instead of "not in the labor force.") Reduced labor force participation rates have lowered the unemployment rate, not because large numbers of the unemployed have actually found work.
This trend is unlikely to continue to the same degree as in the recent past, so we might not see continued drops in the unemployment rate from a falling labor-force-participation rate, which is the percentage of the population age 16 and over who are either working or looking for work. Instead, the reverse might happen: People may re-enter the labor force, pushing the unemployment rate up, unless they immediately take a job. As the economy creates jobs or as people complete schooling that they dropped out of the labor force to pursue, or when people simply run out of savings, they may restart the job search. They would then be classified as "unemployed," pushing the unemployment rate up. At the same time, while growing, the economy might not create that many jobs, either.
The San Francisco Fed did research into trends in the labor-force-participation rate. It has fallen consistently since the late 1990s, reflecting the aging of baby boomers. But the trend has become much more pronounced during the recession and into the recovery as people abandoned their job searches and dropped out of the labor force. Some have gone back to school, others stayed home with the kids, and some have given up for the time being. Some of these people still want jobs but have stopped actively looking.
To put numbers onto this trend, nearly 6.9 million people report being out of the labor force but wanting a job. Based on historical averages, about 2.1 million of them could enter the job market as economic conditions improve. How long will it take them to re-enter the job market? In a scenario where it takes year and a half to join the labor force, the unemployment rate would stall at more than 8% by the end of next year. In this scenario, the unemployment rate could stay around 8% as late as mid-2014. On the other hand, if it takes three-and-a-half years for this group to join the labor force, the unemployment rate would stay at 7.7% through the end of next year. By comparison, if none of the 2.1 million potential workers were to enter the labor market, the unemployment rate could be projected to fall to 7.4% by the end of 2013.
How successful will they be at finding jobs? After all, they must compete for open positions with people with more recent job experience. Some, particularly discouraged workers, must explain to potential employers a possibly long gap in their work history. That isn't necessarily a deal-breaker, though, as other research from the San Francisco Fed shows the job-finding rate for the long-term unemployed has improved. Not coincidentally, the job-finding rate shows a marked increase around the time that extended unemployment benefits typically expire. Even so, the long-term unemployed have a much more difficult time in gaining employment than those with a shorter spell of joblessness.
Of course, what also matters is the type of job some re-entrants (or new entrants) will be seeking. Middle-skill, white-collar and blue-collar jobs have seen very little growth. Previous research has documented the hollowing out of these middle-class jobs, with more positions available at the high or low end of the pay/skills spectrum, and even fewer in between. That may keep some re-entrants from finding work, unless they either upgrade their skills or settle for lower-paying work.
What all of this means is that the unemployment rate may stay high until perhaps 2016 with the Fed keeping its current programs in place (this assumes no new recession in the meantime). The other side is that some of those who dropped out of the labor force to improve their skills or education may find it easier to regain employment.

^This video is highlights of Evan Turner last night. Features Copeland near the end. For two guys who just met as teammates last week? They were magic out there together. They complement each other nicely, and I liked how both used some nice moves from the perimeter to pitch out to the other for a shot. ET to Cope for 3, and Cope to ET for 3.
Frank has to see that this is lightning in a bottle here these two off the bench. Evan is so good at getting into the paint that, the 3 point shot for Copeland will ALWAYS be there if he's on the floor. Ball movement was good as well. Now the question is, who off the bench should join Cope and Evan? And should Lance continue to play 42 mins a game? Or should 12 of Lance's usual minutes be set aside for a ten man rotation featuring Rasual along with Cope, Evan, Ian, and CJ?

You might not have noticed yet that Slant33 has been relaunched recently but the premise remains the same: 1 topic, 3 perspectives. I got a chance to jump in on the question How Far Do You Plan Out Your Youth Ministry Calendar? What's Your Process? Why? Here's part of my thoughts on the topic, click through for the complete thought and to get the other 2 takes from Brian Berry and Lars Rood, too:
I love Google Maps. When you load the homepage, the default view is zoomed way out, showing you the whole United States. Type in an address and it zooms in quickly to show you a specific region. Click "street view" and BAM! you're looking at things as if you were literally walking through the neighborhood on foot. Kinda creepy, since this means Google is stalking us, but kinda awesome at the same time. And a great example of how we typically plan our youth ministry calendar.
We first take a look at the big picture of our ministry then zoom in on the season ahead and finally get a street view all the way down to the current teaching series and events.
It is a wise idea to get away for the day and get a big picture of your ministry. Take a break from the pace of ministry and the distractions of email, voicemail, and the persistent nagging of Google Plus and wrestle with an overview of your youth group. August is the perfect time for this!
For some, this is a simple task because they live in the world of ideas and vision. For others, it will be challenging to stick your head up over it all and get a glimpse of the whole.
Key questions to ask yourself at this big-picture stage:
- Where do you think God wants to take students in the next year?
- What worked well last year, and will it work again?
- What annual events would be effective again this year?
- What needs to get the ax?
- Have you blocked out your week of vacation?
- Where are we strong, and where are we weak?
- Is there a good balance of God's eternal purposes for our ministry (evangelism, fellowship, discipleship, ministry, worship)?

THE military has joined the fight against the floods in Winchester.
Just before 10pm last night, the Royal Navy and the army were called to help stem the tide of water flooding into the city from the River Itchen.
Around 100 personnel laid 800 sandbags along Water Lane.
Winchester City Council's deputy leader, Cllr Rob Humby, said: "We very concerned about certain areas now. Winchester is moving up the scale of worst hit areas and the Enviornment Agency are very concerned about our area at the moment.
Cllr Humby said millitary were expected to return this morning to an area north of the leisure centre at North Walls, in Winnall Moors.
Winchester Fire Station is being used as a joint-briefing centre for emrgency services and the military, and later this morning soldiers will be at the council's Bar End depot to fill sandbags.
"We have been looking at trying to restrict the flow to give us some respite.
"We have been discussing this plan since this morning. We're looking at creating holding tanks to relieve the pressure up stream."
Pensioner Terry Faragher, 80, who lives on Water Lane, said: "We're very nervous because it's starting to lap up against the edge. We're just battening down the hatches and crossing our fingers - what more can you do?"
Some 35,000 sandbags have been delivered across Hampshire and a council spokesman said so far a total of 60 houses have flooded.
Cllr Humby urged residents whose homes are under threat to contact the city council for help.
"We had one gentleman who phoned us and wanted a portable toilet. It's not that we wouldn't do that – it's that we should be finding him somewhere else to stay."
The school was closed for 18 months in 2000 following severe flooding and will remain partially shut all this week due to flooding in the playground and problems with the toilets draining.
Year 6 pupils will return to class on Wednesday.
The Pilgrim's School, the choir school for Winchester Cathedral, has also been disrupted by the flooding and the ancient Pilgrim's Hall, used for assemblies, has been submerged under two inches of water. A newsletter from the head went out thanking boys and staff for their patience in the face of "persistent challenges from the unremitting rain."
Meanwhile the city council has also confirmed River Park Leisure Centre will be closed until further notice due to floods.
The military presence follows calls across the country for intervention due to the widespread flooding the severe weather has caused.
The effects of the weather have left people trapped in their homes and vehicles and caused transport chaos across the region, with trains cancelled and roads closed.

This recipe is for an authentic Italian cappuccino. For a larger one, double the quantities. For a milkier cappuccino, increase the milk to 6 tablespoons.–Daniel Young
Cappuccino Recipe
- Quick Glance
- Makes 1 espresso shot
- 1 rounded tablespoon (about 7 grams) finely ground coffee, preferably an espresso blend
- 1/4 cup cold milk (whole, 2%, or nonfat)
- 1 pinch cocoa powder or ground cinnamon, optional
- 1. Warm up the espresso machine. Put the coffee in the filter basket of the portafilter, tamp down with a tamper, and secure the portafilter in the brew head. Place a 5- or 6-ounce cup directly under the brew head, turn on the brew switch, and brew for 22 to 28 seconds to yield 1 to 1 1/2 ounces of espresso.
- 2. Press the steam switch and wait for the ready indicator to light up. Meanwhile, pour the milk into a stainless steel pitcher. Submerge the tip of the steam wand at least half an inch below the milk surface and turn on the steam switch. As the foam rises, gradually lower the pitcher so the tip of the wand remains just below the milk surface. As the milk begins to heat up, tilt the pitcher slightly to swirl the milk and continue to steam until the side of the pitcher becomes too hot to hold. Turn off the steam while still holding the tip of the wand under the milk surface.
- 3. Pour the frothed milk into the cappucino in one of two ways:
- For a smooth cappucino in which textured milk is evenly integrated throughout the beverage, gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso in a thin, steady stream.
- For a cappucino with a foamy head, hold back the foam with a spoon and gently pour the milk over the espresso. Spoon foam over the top.
- 4. Sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon, if desired. Serve hot.
