WAM Research Limited (ASX:WAX) has a Q.i. Value of 10.00000. The Q.i. Value ranks companies using four ratios. These ratios consist of EBITDA Yield, FCF Yield, Liquidity, and Earnings Yield. The purpose of the Q.i. Value is to help identify companies that are the most undervalued. Typically, the lower the value, the more undervalued the company tends to be.
Investors looking to make big gains in the equity market may be looking to fine tune an existing strategy or create a whole new one. It may sound quite easy, buy low and sell high. Obviously, navigating the stock market typically entails much more than that. Identifying market tops and correction levels may be very difficult. Of course, it always hurts to take a loss, but figuring out how to shrink losses can help keep the ship afloat during turbulent market conditions. The situation for the average investor may vary greatly from one person to the next. Some investors will be working with a short-term plan, while other may be focused on a longer-term investment horizon. Goals may also vary from individual to individual. Keeping these goals in sight may help clear up the sometimes foggy investing waters, and provide clarity for creating a winning portfolio.
Checking in on some valuation rankings, WAM Research Limited (ASX:WAX) has a Value Composite score of 41. Developed by James O'Shaughnessy, the VC score uses five valuation ratios. These ratios are price to earnings, price to cash flow, EBITDA to EV, price to book value, and price to sales. The VC is displayed as a number between 1 and 100. In general, a company with a score closer to 0 would be seen as undervalued, and a score closer to 100 would indicate an overvalued company. Adding a sixth ratio, shareholder yield, we can view the Value Composite 2 score which is currently sitting at 47.
Watching some historical volatility numbers on shares of WAM Research Limited (ASX:WAX), we can see that the 12 month volatility is presently 17.578500. The 6 month volatility is 19.786400, and the 3 month is spotted at 18.595800. Following volatility data can help measure how much the stock price has fluctuated over the specified time period. Although past volatility action may help project future stock volatility, it may also be vastly different when taking into account other factors that may be driving price action during the measured time period.
WAM Research Limited (ASX:WAX) has a current ERP5 Rank of 105. The ERP5 Rank may assist investors with spotting companies that are undervalued. This ranking uses four ratios. These ratios are Earnings Yield, ROIC, Price to Book, and 5 year average ROIC. When looking at the ERP5 ranking, it is generally considered the lower the value, the better.
We can now take a quick look at some historical stock price index data. WAM Research Limited (ASX:WAX) presently has a 10 month price index of 1.13058. The price index is calculated by dividing the current share price by the share price ten months ago. A ratio over one indicates an increase in share price over the period. A ratio lower than one shows that the price has decreased over that time period. Looking at some alternate time periods, the 12 month price index is 1.11386, the 24 month is 1.42169, and the 36 month is 1.54603. Narrowing in a bit closer, the 5 month price index is 1.03459, the 3 month is 1.15108, and the 1 month is currently 1.01266.

The wonky cross quilt block has been on my to-do list for ages! (See? I'm practically the last person to try this block!) So whilst trying to figure out a second pillow design for my living room, I figured HEY why not try it? Its quick, wonky, and a nice contrast to the other pillow... Octagonol Orb which is very precise and angular.
I rather adore the pebble quilting!
It took 3 bobbins of thread to do a 19"x19" area, but who cares? The pebbles soften up the blunt angles and contrast nicely. See the one block with a blue border? Yeah. That block ended up over an inch too small and I was NOT going to start over so I tried to salvage it with a border. I think it works!
The back! One of my favorite parts about this pillow (also pebble quilted.)
A 20" pillow form is stuffed in this not quite 19" cover... so its bulging at the back opening. I may end up taking out some stuffing, OR adding a button. I have a feeling some stuffing is going to go. Much less labor intensive.
I thought I should take a shot without the pillow form so its not all poofy and un-square. The binding is the same fabric I used for our curtains. Sandi Henderson, I love your fabric!
This now completes my "I MUST make two pillows for the living room!" phase.
Thank you for listening.
I have plans to make a tank top or two (eeek!) and a quilt from one teeny random photo from Pinterest. Oh yes, I already have the fabric pulled...

Greenville, South Carolina is the convergence point of the "Old South" and the "New South." Conveniently settled at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, historic homes and 21st century sky- rise buildings stand side by side in peaceful coexistence. It's also a place where music, art, theater, literature and festivals make life meaningful and culturally rich. All this makes Greenville not only a pleasant place to live but also a memorable city to visit.
Surprising world-class works of art can be found at the Greenville County Museum of Art. The Bob Jones University Museum and Gallery houses paintings from the European Old Masters as well as period furniture, tapestries and sculptures. Kids will surely enjoy a day at the Children's Museum of the Upstate. The Roper Mountain Science Center with its 23-inch refractor telescope is worth a look. Check out the offerings at Center Stage, Greenville's Professional Theatre and the Peace Center. The golf enthusiast will certainly look forward to playing a round at CrossWinds Golf Course. There are also many activities held year round so be on the lookout for the Living Gallery each Easter, the ARTISPHERE each April and the Countybank Main Street Jazz every Friday night from April to September. However, one area that you should never miss while you're in Greenville is Falls Park on the Reedy, which through extensive renovation, now earns the distinction of being one of the most vibrant, unique and relaxing urban parks in the United States. With 20 acres of stunning landscaped gardens, waterfalls and the pedestrian suspension Liberty Bridge that overlooks the Reedy River, this park is sure to take your breath away.
Because it's considered the main shopping and dining venue of The Upstate region, there are numerous restaurants around the city to satisfy your craving for local southern fare and other culinary delights. There are many eateries in Downtown Greenville, particularly along Main Street. The newly developed Riverplace in Falls Park also boasts of multi-cultural dining.
There are many boutiques and shops around downtown Greenville. The largest shopping center in the area is Haywood Mall, which features many chain stores. Greenville Mall has a more eclectic shopping selection. High-end specialty shops can be found in Augusta Road shopping district.

Click here, or on the image above, to see the trailer for Earth vs. The Flying Saucers.
Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (1956) was arguably Ray Harryhausen's breakthrough as a stop motion special effects artist; he had worked on Mighty Joe Young (1949) and other films as an assistant under Willis O' Brien, the creator of King Kong (1933), but with this film, he stepped out in front with a dazzling display of special effects wizardry which was, at the time of the film's production, state of the art. What's even more amazing is that the entire film, except for Harryhausen's special effects, which took months to complete, was shot in just six days – a stunning feat, made possible only by director Fred F. Sears' expertise and grace under pressure. Indeed, while much of the film was shot on the Columbia back lot, Sears dispatched a second unit to Washington DC to shoot process plates for the special effects, and also footage of the film's stars, Hugh Marlowe and Joan Taylor, dodging laser blast rays on the steps of the capitol building.
Another thing that's remarkable is how much of the film was shot on location, and how quickly, without all the security that would make such an enterprise impossible today. Although Earth vs. The Flying Saucers is manifestly a union film, Sears and producer Sam Katzman pushed both the crew and the actors to the limits of their endurance to get the film in the can, while Sears worked feverishly with Harryhausen's production designs to make sure that the live action material dovetailed perfectly with Harryhausen's miniature work. Such a pace would be impossible today, when everything takes forever to shoot — Sears moved fast, and his co-workers moved with him, to make a convincing film on a minuscule budget.
In this age of CGI, anything is possible, but in the 1950s, the only way you could get something convincing on the screen was through the use of stop-motion animation, painstakingly moving the saucers frame, by frame, by frame, by frame, shooting one frame after another, with 24 changes of position per second, to achieve what then passed for realism. This isn't a film which revels in plot, or in any degree of subtlety, complete with a stentorian narrator providing a "voice of doom" commentary throughout the film; the invaders simply show up and start blasting everyone in sight with a disintegrator ray, with but one objective; to take over the earth and colonize it for the members of their dying race. It's one of the 1950s' best, and most compact, science fiction films, moving along swiftly to its suitably violent conclusion. There's a colorized DVD available, actually supervised by Harryhausen himself, but don't fall for it; get the black and white original. The film looks and plays like a brutal newsreel of an alien invasion, and once seen, is never forgotten.

The Canon 5157B002 EOS Rebel T3 DSLR Camera is as beautiful as the pictures it takes.
What It Is And Why You Need It
- Improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor; ensures that images are captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed.
- 12.2 Megapixels; lets you capture outstanding photographs
- 18-55MM EF-S Lens; allows you to shoot high quality videos and photos
- 2.7" wide TFT LCD monitor; offers high contrast and color accuracy for a wider, clearer image
- Compatibility; with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards
- New Technology for Outstanding Images.
Canon's CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers the most pixels in its class. It offers many of the same new technologies to maximize each pixel's light gathering efficiency that were first seen with the professional EOS-1D Mark III model. It's an APS-C size sensor (22.2 x 14.8mm), and there's an effective 1.6x increase in the lens's marked focal length when attached.
- DIGIC 4 Image Processor
The improved DIGIC 4 Image Processor ensures that images are captured, processed and saved with remarkable speed. The EOS Rebel T3 DSLR's new 3:2 multiple aspect ratio, in-camera RAW image processing, creative filters, image resizing and provided S2 and S3 image-recording quality are all possible thanks to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. With dazzling results, the new DIGIC 4 Image Processor also works to capture and process data of images shot at 12.2 Megapixels at 3.0 fps, as well as 14-bit signal processing for excellent image gradation, enhanced Face Detection Live mode, Full HD video recording, Auto Lighting Optimizer and Lens Peripheral Optimization.
- Excellence from Dawn to Dusk.
With a broad range of ISO settings, the EOS Rebel T3 enables shooting from sunrise to sunset and helps ensure capture of the finest detail. With enhanced high-sensitivity optimization, subjects can be captured clearly and easily at high shutter speeds without flash, with minimized blur and noise. In bright scenes, especially long exposures in daylight, optimal exposure can be achieved with a fully open wide-diameter lens, no dark filter needed.
- High Definition Made Easy.
The EOS Rebel T3 DSLR's expanded repertoire of technologies includes shooting video in brilliantly clear, exactingly sharp high definition for playback on your HDTV! Shooting at 1280 x 720 at 30 (29.97) or 25 frames per second, HD video can be taken immediately through the EOS Rebel T3 camera's intuitive operation and layout. Parameters for white balance and picture style are already set just grab and go!
- Incredible AutoFocus.
The EOS Rebel T3 has a high-precision, 9-point AF system utilizing a high-precision, f/5.6 cross-type center point. The 9-point AF system uses both normal and high-precision focus depending on the aperture and available light. The 9 focus points can be chosen automatically or manually selected.
- Accurate Metering for Perfect Exposure.
The EOS Rebel T3 features Canon's newest Dual-layer sensor, with 63 zones. By measuring not only the amount of light, but also taking into account color and luminosity, this new system delivers a very high level of accuracy for better results every time. Since the metering sensor has a color measurement function, exposure errors and focus errors caused by different light sources are minimized; the EOS Rebel T3 gives stable exposure from shot to shot in situations where light changes, such as sports on a cloudy day, or indoor holiday scenes.
- Speedy, Precise Operation.
The EOS Rebel T3 operates with such effortless speed that operation is nothing short of intuitive. With instant startup times, speedy autofocus and minimal shutter lag, the EOS Rebel T3 is one of the fastest cameras available today. It can continuously shoot 3.0 fps (frames per second) up to approximately 830 JPEGs or 2.0 fps for approximately 5 RAW files, so you won't miss a shot.
- See the Image on a Large LCD with Live View Function.
The EOS Rebel T3 has a huge, bright 2.7-inch TFT (thin film transistor) LCD monitor with 230,000 pixels and a viewing angle of 170°. It's perfect for Live View composition or viewing camera settings like AF, ISO, Metering, AF Point selection and flash options. And the maximum brightness of the EOS Rebel T3 DSLR's LCD monitor is about 30% greater than its predecessor, which is a big benefit when you're using the camera in bright sunlight.
- Live View Function
Live View Function enables you to view your subjects directly on the huge 2.7-inch LCD monitor. It's easy to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focus. And now, there are two ways to use Autofocus along with Live View Function in the EOS Rebel T3. You can even choose a grid overlay, perfect for keeping straight lines in your subject straight in your pictures. In the studio, Live View Function can be used remotely via a computer through the EOS Rebel T3 DSLR's USB connection.
- Make Your Images As You See Them.
Basic+ is a new creative imaging feature that makes it easy to create the image effects you want. It can be set with the Quick Control screen in Basic Zone modes. Basic+ provides two options:
- Shoot by ambience selection:
Based on the Picture Style and its parameters (sharpness, contrast, saturation, and color tone), the exposure compensation and white balance correction are adjusted to attain the selected ambience. You can also select the strength of the ambience effect.
- Shoot by lighting or scene type:
Although the actual parameter set is the white balance, the settings are expressed in more understandable terms.
- Photography Made Truly Easy.
The Canon EOS Rebel T3 DSLR demystifies great photography by including an in-camera Feature Guide. Appearing on the camera's LCD, the Feature Guide displays a simple description or advice for the respective function. It is displayed in each shooting mode, during Mode Dial operations, and for Quick Control screen functions (during normal shooting, Live View shooting, movie shooting, and playback). The Feature Guide appears automatically during Mode Dial operations and when a function is selected on the Quick Control screen.
- Speedy, Wireless Image Capture and Transmission.
The EOS Rebel T3 uses popular SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. Compact, inexpensive and available in increasingly large capacities, SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are a perfect complement to the EOS Rebel T3 DSLR's compact and lightweight body design. Additionally, the EOS Rebel T3 is compatible with Eye-Fi* SD cards, which are outfitted with a Wi-Fi transmitter (IEEE 802.11b/g) and internal antenna for wireless, high-speed transfer of images. With an Eye-Fi card installed, the EOS Rebel T3 can display the Eye-Fi's connection status and error notes with ease, for fully functional wireless uploading of images directly from the camera.
- EF & EF-S Lenses
The EOS Rebel T3 is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF and EF-S lineup, ranging from ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented performance in all facets of the photographic process.

Photo Gallery: Rock Display Ideas
Inspriation for decorating with nature.
Stack rocks as doorstoppers.
Take full advantage of the lingering days of summer by propping open doors for a breath of fresh air. A small tower of found rocks does the trick and brings a little of the outdoors inside. Dress them up by decorating them with a single stripe of leftover gold paint.
Get more ideas in our DIY & Home Improvement section.
Group everyday elements.
Use rustic bowls, glass jars and ceramic cups in organic colours to turn collections of river rocks and driftwood picked up along the shoreline into decorative curiosities. Group them together on a slab of marble, wood or slate in containers of different sizes, heights and shapes to create a dynamic display that shows off their outdoorsy beauty.
See our photo gallery for more rock display ideas.
Support your personal library.
Design editor Sally Armstrong placed a large, light grey rock on her shelf to keep her books upright. Adding a stone bookend is not only functional, but adds a soothing, organic touch to an area overwhelmed with colourful covers or bold typography.
See our photo gallery for more rock display ideas.
Use stones to tell a story.
A Martha Sturdy tray in black holds rocks found by the designer's grandchildren along the shore of her B.C. home. Seemingly simple and easy to find, rocks can become both beautiful collections and sentimental keepsakes from memorable events.
See our photo gallery for more rock display ideas.
Place found objects and souvenirs in clear apothecary jars.
A collection of beach rocks is elevated when placed in clear glass apothecary jars. Add stacks of books and this treatment is an inexpensive way to add colour and dimension to a mantel vignette.
Natural objects strengthen a home's connection to the land.
Clay reds, pale greens, blacks, whites and speckled pinks mix in a Martha Sturdy bowl. These stones were found around Sturdy's Preston Island, BC cottage, making for a budget conscious decor solution that can be created in an afternoon.
See our photo gallery for more rock display ideas.
Create a warm-weather oasis with pebbles and coral.
Looking to add an instant beachy note to decor? A display of skimming stones in a shallow dish conveys a lakeside vibe. Use other natural accents such as coral and a seagrass rug to complete the cottage vibe.
Use the forest to create an art piece.
Artist Don Standfield filled a raw wood stump with smooth fieldstones to create this intriguing sculpture. Standfield's work evokes Canada's natural landscape, especially Algonquin Park, the Canadian Shield and the boreal forest.
Less is more in this vignette.
Play up natural textures that are plucked from the forest. The smoothness of pebbles contrasts a striated birchbark box.
Leave them loose.
Place a handful of decorative rocks on an stump table for nonchalant look. Canadians stamps and birchback set a distinctly Canuck tone.
Set a carefree, summer mood.
Anchor a collection of pillar candles with smooth pebbles (here's the bonus, it will protect your mantel from any wax drippings). Randomly arrange candles of different heights to avoid a look that's too formal.
Use rocks in floral arrangements.
For a low key "floral" arrangement, prop a branch in a vase of stones. In the living room of Tina and David Tymchuk's Ottawa home, the neutral colours complement the clean, airy modernism look of the room.
Take the beach home.
Haven't had a beach vacay? Bags of pebbles and shells can be easily sourced at craft and dollar stores to mimic tropical keepsakes, just place on weathered tray for a sun-soaked vignette.
Swap out paper name cards for hand-painted stone.
Smooth pebbles can be easily customized as placecards or mementos for your next outdoor dinner party. Simply write guests' names in a metallic marker on small rocks.

Can you make a domey disc flat?
Reason is I got a more domey meteor and like more flat discs... So is there a way to flatten it?
My thought would be to put it on a flat surface, put a board on it, and the weight evenly distributed, is this going to change it or ruin it? Will it work?

FDI is a significant source of external finance and a means of integrating into the global marketplace. So far, Africa has been left out of this process. This may be attributed to small market size, poor infrastructure, weak regulatory framework, debt problems and, in some cases, political instability. Over the past decade, however, there has been considerable progress with reforms in several African economies.
Outward FDI from developing Asian economies has grown significantly since the early 1990s. Outflows from the region have reached a new high of an estimated US$ 90 billion in 2006. Only a small percentage of Asian FDI is currently targeted at Africa, but this is likely to change.
Africa has the potential to become an important investment location for Asian companies, in part because of the complementary nature of economic development between Asian and African countries. Traditionally, FDI flows from developing Asia to Africa were mainly from the Asian newly industrializing economies (Hong Kong SAR, Republic of Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan Province of China). Recently, however, China and India have emerged as significant sources.
Promoting investment in Africa has become a strategic priority in the international economic cooperation efforts of some Asian countries, including Malaysia and China. The recent rapid growth of Chinese FDI in Africa is partly the result of joint efforts by the Chinese and African Governments, including initiatives adopted in Beijing at the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (5-6 November 2006).
The rapid economic growth in Asia can be expected to lead to increased Asian investments in Africa, in both natural resources and manufacturing. In particular, the rapid industrial upgrading taking place in Asia provides ample opportunities for Africa to attract efficiency-seeking and export-oriented FDI from Asian economies. Yet appropriate policies at both national and international levels are crucial for turning this potential into reality.
This report provides concrete measures and steps to bring more Asian investment to African countries and strengthen development cooperation between the two regions. Recommendations include:

Student Ilze Spilde Named Fulbright Finalist
Published on Tue, February 19, 2013
Ilze Spilde was recently named a "Fulbright Finalist" for her work in English language education. Ms. Spilde applied for a Fulbright grant earlier this year to teach English in Latvia from September 2013 to June 2014.
"When I received the notification telling me of my finalist status, I was very excited, but, at the same time, I continually reminded myself that this was only the next stage, not the actual offer of the grant," Ms. Spilde said, when asked about how she reacted to hearing the news.

Cheesy Mushroom Pull Apart Bread
I'm just going to come out and say this bread is AMAZING. Seriously. If you are looking for ideas for the Superbowl, MAKE THIS BREAD. Actually, you should make it this weekend to test it out and play with what flavors you want to use as a practice run. Then make it again next weekend to share with your friends at the Superbowl.
But be warned, it's quite addictive. In fact, maybe you should plan to bring two to your Superbowl party. It's seriously so gooey from the melted cheese. The butter, green onion, and poppy seed sauce on top really takes this bread to the next level.
When I saw this recipe, I was instantly thinking of other flavors you could stuff into the bread. Anything that works on pizza would be great here. I went with provolone and mushroom this time. I'm sure it would be great with pepperoni and mozzarella, bacon and cheddar, or just plan old cheese. If you guys make this, you have to come back and let me know what flavors you made.

Cheesy Mushroom Pull Apart Bread
Mushrooms and cheese make this pull apart bread so delicious you won't be able to stop picking at it!
Yield: serves 6-8
For the Mushrooms
12 oz sliced mushrooms
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme
For the Bread
1 unsliced loaf sourdough bread
12 ounces Provolone cheese, thinly sliced
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup finely diced green onion
2 teaspoons poppy seeds
For the Mushrooms
Heat a medium skillet on medium. Add the butter. Once the butter is melted, add the mushrooms. Cook 4-5 minutes until they start to sweat. Add the thyme and continue to cook another 2-3 minutes.
Set mushrooms aside and allow to cool.
For the Bread
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut the bread lengthwise and widthwise without cutting through the bottom crust. This can be a little tricky going the second way but the bread is very forgiving.
Place loaf on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Insert cheese slices between cuts. Pour the mushrooms between the cuts. Use your fingers to push the mushrooms down into the loaf.
Combine butter, onion, and poppy seeds. Drizzle over bread. Wrap in foil; place on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Unwrap the bread and bake 10 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Omg so awesome! My hubby and I aren't fans of mushrooms but I looked at the original cheesy onion loaf and fell in love. I made it Saturday with colby jack and green onions. It was AMAZING!! Hubby and his best friend stood over it in the kitchen and devoured almost the whole thing. 🙂
I just made this and it was AWESOME! I used minced garlic when I sautéed the mushrooms. And I didn't have poppy seeds, but even without it tasted great!
Ridiculously delicious. We're still talking about it hours later, and my husband just said, "it shouldn't be legal." haha! Definitely not healthy, but oh so delicious! 🙂
I did this with artichoke spinach dip with cheese amazing!!!
Made this the other night, sans the poppyseeds. Very good! Honestly, I would make it again but would omit the butter drizzle on the top. It was very moist and even though I love butter, it was a bit greasy. Very good and hubby said we are making it to bring to parties from now on.
I found this recipe on pinterest and I made it yesterday. It was awesome! I did alter it though. I added two bunches of fresh spinach, that I sauted in olive oil till it shrank down. I squeezed the oil out by placing the spinach between two plates. I also left out the poppy seeds, since my husband and I are not a fan. I used smoked sharp cheddar, combined with smoked pepperjack. Cuz that's what we had in the fridge, and both like. This bread was amazing, pretty easy to make. Our company loved it as well. I give this recipe 5 stars.
Just found this on pinterest! Showed it to my other half straight the way as he is the bread maker. He will def be giving it a go very soon. Thanks for sharing x
Made this using bacon, ground beef and cheddar. So good. My 2 year old loved it! Made it a second time and made it with pepperoni and mozzarella. Thanks for sharing
Not a lover of mushrooms….any suggestions?
Today I made this bread for a party. This is so easy to make and very tasty. Love it and am sure gonn try different ingredients
Made this it was fab!! Added garlic and used fontina cheese instead of provalone. Fontina melted smooth and creamy.
Does it have to be sourdough bread? Or can I use regular bread?
I attended a Christmas open house and someone had brought this – she used
the provolone cheese but used the green onions and cranberries for a very
festive look – absolutely delicious – and definitely a big hit – I will be trying this
at my next get together
Ohhh I made it today – for my sister's birthday party! And after 1 portion with onion, garlic and cheese I have to make 3 more! Great, love You for this recipe!
Wow! This is REALLY good!!! Thanks for sharing!
this came out great! thank you!
I love this recipie! I have had it before with a whole bulb of crushed garlic with melted butter, chopped fresh rosemary,thyme,and basil and a cup of shredded pepperjack cheese. We added toasted pinenuts on top at the end. Yum!!! I'm going to try it today with sausage and butter, fresh sage, garlic cheddar cheese and some diced green apple that was sauteed in butter first…we will see….
Realmente exquisito me encanta tiene un aspecto perfecto y delicioso,abrazos y abrazos.
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that this FB page is using your photos as their own
Hi! I've already made this for the family and it was a hit, but I have a question. Do you think it will work if I prepare it in so far until it has to go in the oven, and the freeze it until I need it? We're having a party on Sunday and don't have a lot of time before hand. If I make it Friday or Saturday and freeze it til Sunday morning, let thaw and then bake? Would that work?
After checking out a handful of the blog posts on your blog, I seriously appreciate your technique of writing a blog.
I saved as a favorite it to my bookmark site list and will be checking
back soon. Please check out my web site as well
and let me know what you think.
Me encantóo esta receta!!, pero no entiendo, el pan se corta estando precocido y luego se termina de cocinar ? ¿Cómo quedan abajo el queso, y las setas ?… quisiera me expliquen porque adoro esta combinación…. con trocitos de panceta ahumada debe ser mas deicioso…!Felicitaciones
What do you mean by ' the bread is very forgiving' ? Just curious ..
Natasha, it means that you can make a mistake while cutting the bread and it would still stay together.
Just made this earlier for dinner and it was a huge hit! Thank you for this awesome recipe!
Saw the green and was hoping it was broccoli or spinach. Also wondering how would it would taste with a little red pepper flakes and extra virgin olive oil instead of butter.
Excellent recipe. Easy to prepare. Made it and it was gone in seconds!
se ve muy rico! lo haré el fin de semana!
It's awesome for me to have a website, which is helpful designed for my know-how. thanks admin
Wondering what you would think it would taste like with sundried tomotoes and marble cheese?
Awesome things here. I am very happy to peer your article.
Thank you so much and I am having a look forward to contact you.
Will you please drop me a mail?
The first time I made this, I took a risk and did two loaves because it sounded like it would taste that good. I took the second risk by taking it to a party without even tasting it. It was certainly a hit. That was the first thing most people complimented on their plates. This is now my "go to" dish when I travel to potlucks because it never fails to please. I wouldn't dare make it at home for just my husband and I for fear that I would eat it all.
I made this today, but made it my own. I got diced capsicum, diced salami, diced onion, sweet chili sauce, sour cream and grated mozza. Excellent – can't wait to make it again – next time sticking to your recipe!
Oooh, I love bread, garlic, cheese and mushrooms. Can't wait to give this a try!! I would like to invite you to The DIY Show Linkup Party & Pinterest AfterParty http://thediyshow.com/the-diy-show-challenge/ Hope to see you there!!
Where can I find the original cheesy onion loaf recipe ??
Love this bread! Added jalapeno slices, big hit!!
Hey excellent website! Does running a blog similar to this require
a lot of work? I've absolutely no knowledge of programming but I was hoping to start
my own blog soon. Anyhow, should you have any suggestions
or techniques for new blog owners please share. I know
this is off topic but I just wanted to ask. Appreciate it!
Hi, can you tell me how well this keeps after it's been made? Is it okay to take to a picnic, where there are no ovens to reheat? Can it be made the night before?
My partner and I stumbled over here coming from
a different web page and thought I might as well check things out.
I like what I see so now i am following you.
Look forward to finding out about your web page for a second time.
Wow, this piece of writing is pleasant, my sister is analyzing these kinds of things, therefore I am going to let know her.
I will immediately grab your rss as I can't find your email subscription link or e-newsletter service. Do you have any? Kindly let me know so that I could subscribe. Thanks.
I made this a few times for my bridge it is wonderful
Great post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am impressed!
Extremely useful info particularly the last part 🙂 I
care for such information much. I was looking for this certain information
for a very long time. Thank you and good luck.
I every time emailed this website post page to all my friends,
for the reason that if like to read it afterward my friends will too.
Many have mentioned bringing this to parties. Did you bake it at the party or before? Could I bake it before and simply warm it up? Or should I bake at home and just hope that it is ok lukewarm?
I like different flavor layers, so being crazy/inventive in that area, I'm going to make this with several different cheeses in different locations … a little Fontina here, a little Mozzarella there … a little smoked Gouda over there … will probably also use several different mushrooms too — just because I can. Seriously this looks drop-dead gorgeous. Go Seahawks!
If you froze the bread just a bit, would it be easier to cut? I am making this for my vegetarians on Sunday!
Been making a variation of this for years. Use Colby-jack cheese, deli sliced ham, red onions to stuff French bread. Sauce is 1/2 stick butter melted, 2 teaspoons French's mustard. Stir well, pour over stuffed bread. Wrap in foil and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. I always prepare this the night before and pop in oven when ready to cook. It's a huge breakfast hit!!! Your variation sounds yummy as I LOVE sourdough.
Going to make this for todays Super Bowl party. However I am unclear. I know someone said to bake it at the party. Am I assembling the entire thing at the party or prior to traveling? Thanks?
Yep, this is incredible! I made one batch just as the recipe says and one with provolone, bacon, green onions and poppy seeds. Oh my goodness! This bread is so delicious! Thanks for sharing.
wondering if you HAVE to use sourdough? I have a loaf of peasant bread I need to get rid of and was going to try the recepie using that instead? what do u think?
i used a electric knife to cut breads like this all the time works great ! i have done all kinds of breads and doesn"t flatten the bread either
Now, this looks dangerous
and perfect to serve with soup on a chilly night.
Hello, greetings from Serbia.
Made this for my birthday the other day, and it was a huge hit. I used portobello mushrooms , sliced and baked in oven with soy sauce, black pepper , little bit of oil and chilly sauce. The bread was crispy , cheese was melting, mushrooms hot and spring onions fresh. Beautiful.Thank you 🙂
Is the Nutrition values available? Where would I find it?

Lextron, Inc., a Colorado-based distributor of livestock vaccines and supplements, said it plans to buy competitor Animal Health International, Inc., for about $111 million in cash.
Under the agreement, privately-held Lextron will pay $4.25 a share for all outstanding Animal Health stock, according to a joint statement released by the companies March 14. Lextron will also assume $140 million of Animal Health's debt.
The buyout "provides an opportunity for us to collectively create the country's premier animal health business," John Adent, Lextron's chief executive officer, said in the statement.
"Building upon Lextron's four-decade presence in this industry, we are confident about the combined pool of industry expertise and resources we'll be able to offer our customers," Adent said.
The purchase is expected to close by the end of June, assuming the deal is approved by Animal Health's shareholders and receives clearance from antitrust regulators. The combined company will be named Animal Health International. Leonard Green & Partners, a Los Angeles-based private equity firm, will help fund the transaction, the companies said.
Lextron's buyout would mark the latest round of consolidation in the U.S. animal health industry, which grew rapidly over the past decade. In 2009, the industry generated about $6.7 billion revenue, up 43 percent from 2003, according to an Animal Health financial statement.
In March 2010, Merck & Co. and Sanofi-Aventis SA said they would combine animal health businesses into a 50-50 joint venture that analysts said would account for about a quarter of the $19 billion global market.
The global animal health market is expected to grow by about 5 percent annually through the middle of the decade on rising demand for meat and strong consumer needs for pet supplies, Merck and Sanofi said last year following the joint venture announcement.
Based in Westlake, Tex., Animal Health had net U.S. sales of $600.3 million in the company's fiscal 2010, which ended June 30. Animal Health, which was founded in 1954, sells more than 40,000 products to more than 70,000 customers, including veterinarians, livestock feeders and animal health retailers.
Lextron's planned purchase price, at $4.25 a share, would be a premium of 11 percent over Animal Health's $3.83 closing price March 11. In afternoon trading March 14, Animal Health shares rose 37.5 cents, or 9.8 percent, to $4.205. The stock is up 46 percent this year.
Separately, two law firms said they are investigating potential legal claims against Animal Health's board of directors, saying Lextron's purchase price is too low.
The investigation "relates to the fairness of the proposed transaction" to Animal Health shareholders, according to a joint statement released March 14 by the Briscoe Law Firm and Powers Taylor, LLP: http://bit.ly/hLltcx
The firms are seeking to determine whether Animal Health's board "obtained the best value for shareholders, adequately considered all viable alternatives, and properly shopped the company before entering into the acquisition agreement with Lextron," according to the statement.
At least one industry analyst has set an estimated target price for Animal Health at $5, the firms said.
"Based on these and other factors, the firms do not believe that the acquisition price is fair" for Animal Health shareholders.
The firms didn't immediately respond to e-mail messages seeking comment.

While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends which could subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 3 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
Niska Gas Storage PartnersDividend Yield: 10.10% Niska Gas Storage Partners (NYSE: NKA) shares currently have a dividend yield of 10.10%. Niska Gas Storage Partners LLC owns and operates natural gas storage assets in North America. The average volume for Niska Gas Storage Partners has been 145,900 shares per day over the past 30 days. Niska Gas Storage Partners has a market cap of $488.6 million and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are down 6.2% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Wednesday. TheStreet Ratings rates Niska Gas Storage Partners as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in stock price during the past year and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, generally higher debt management risk and poor profit margins. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year, there is currently no conclusive evidence that warrants the purchase or sale of this stock.
- NISKA GAS STORAGE PARTNERS has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, NISKA GAS STORAGE PARTNERS continued to lose money by earning -$0.63 versus -$2.38 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($0.56 versus -$0.63).
- NKA, with its very weak revenue results, has greatly underperformed against the industry average of 7.8%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues plummeted by 65.0%. Weakness in the company's revenue seems to have hurt the bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.
- The debt-to-equity ratio of 1.41 is relatively high when compared with the industry average, suggesting a need for better debt level management. To add to this, NKA has a quick ratio of 0.54, this demonstrates the lack of ability of the company to cover short-term liquidity needs.
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 228.7% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $10.42 million to -$13.41 million.

More than three years after the city prohibited supermarkets from using plastic checkout bags, the ban is spreading to all retail locations thanks to a decision the City Council made in March. The new ordinance also means that retailers will now have to charge customers at least 10 cents for a paper bag.
The law also bans plastic bags from local restaurants, though that provision isn't kicking in until Nov. 1. Unlike other businesses, food establishments will have the option of providing paper bags free of charge. They will also be allowed to use plastic bags to carry soups and other liquid products.
The goal of the ordinance is to reduce litter in local creeks and the Bay, according to the city's Public Works staff. Officials point to a recent study from Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which reported that plastic debris in the Pacific Ocean grew a hundredfold over the past 40 years.
Plastic accounts for 60 percent of the litter in local creeks, according to Public Works.
"Last year we found about 350 bags during two local creek clean-up events and a separate one-month tally of bags found in the lower watershed. In addition, local photographers have also provided staff with photos of birds impacted at the Baylands. So we're trying to address this global problem at a local level," Julie Weiss, the city's project manager for the ordinance, said in a statement.
Assistant Public Works Director Phil Bobel called the expanded ordinance "the next step in eliminating plastic bags in our creeks and San Francisco Bay." The ban is expected to eliminate 20 million single-use plastic and paper bags annually.
The city recommends that customers remember to bring their own reusable bags by putting them near their front doors or in their cars and keeping foldable bags in their pockets, backpacks and purses.

Consumer sentiment jumps, there's a surge in advertising for get-rich-quick spruikers, the newsletter peddlers are turning from fear to greed – with the surge in bull, it really might be a bull market.
The February Westpac-Melbourne Institute consumer sentiment index published today is up a sharp 7.7 points to a healthy 108.3, its highest level in 26 months.
Maybe this rise is a little too sharp to mean as the demographic breakdown of the survey shows the biggest impetus came from those aged 18 to 24 (up 32 per cent), sales/clerical staff (also up 32 per cent) and those with a household income of between $20,000 and $40,000 (up 9.6 per cent). So poor, young shop assistants might be feeling chipper with the January sales behind them.
The Institute's trend measurement smooths out the spike to show a more modest 1.4 per cent rise for a still-reasonable score of 104.5, up 6.5 per cent on this time last year. Fewer scary headlines about North Atlantic economic crises, lower interest rates, a rising stock market and some firmer housing prices seem to be doing their trick.
And there's another harder-to-manage indicator of an outbreak of optimism: the get-rich-quick spruikers seem to be on the rise again and the tone of investment newsletter peddlers is changing from selling fear ("The market is about the crash and the economy is cactus") to greed (10 top stocks to make you money").
Yes, the real estate investment "seminars" are back, not that they ever really went away, and the art of telling newsletter subscribers what they want to hear, reinforcing existing emotions, means the emphasis is switching overnight from warnings about losing all your money to making it. It was only seven months ago that Alan Kohler wrote we were in a depression.
As if often the case when sentiment does turn, not all that much is fundamentally different. The North Atlantic crises have not been solved, they're just being managed for the time being. China is growing nicely, but it was growing nicely enough last year when the Chicken Littles were panicking and claiming otherwise. Japan is a definite worry, economically and politically. The domestic labour market is still soft, will remain soft and unemployment is likely to continue to edge up a bit. While business confidence has improved, business conditions have not.
The only fundamental change is looser monetary policy – the Reserve Bank's blunt weapon beginning to be felt – and the mysterious thing that is confidence itself.
It seems that no-one in Australia remembers what hard times are actually like as most seem to think we're living in them now, except for young shop assistants who thought they were last month. A simplistic explanation for when a recession turns is when the 85 or 90 per cent of people with jobs decide they're not likely to lose them. It's a line that's not without merit.
The end of the slide in housing prices makes possible the confidence required for people to buy housing, firming up prices. The stock market is not rallying because companies are markedly more profitable, but because the fear of prices falling has eased – and the RBA has made company dividends relatively more attractive.
The core of the alleged cost of living "crisis" – higher utilities bills – should taper off as well with the worst of the surge behind us and more people and governments waking up to its cause.
And, despite the best efforts of the squeaky wheels, populist journalism and politicians, there have been a couple of little surprises that fly in the face of some people's personal experience and more general perceptions: employment in manufacturing and retail rose last year. You probably didn't read about that.
Tucked away in Friday's RBA statement on monetary policy was a graph showing employment movement in the key industries. Construction had a bad 2012, as did public servants, but manufacturing bottomed in 2011 and edged up last year. Retail and whole trade started 2012 badly but then steadily improved. The numbers aren't big, but they were positive – they had stopped falling.
P.S. For followers of the fascinating split in consumer confidence by voting intentions, the gap between Labor and Coalition voters re-opened a little this month after a surprise narrowing in January. It's nowhere near the chasm of July when the carbon tax started. Both sides gained in February – Coalition voters by 4.3 points to 105.4 and Labor voters by 9.1 to 123.8 – but it's the improvement in coalition voters' outlook that has made the big difference over the past year, a rise of 14.8 points. And they are more of them.

What We Love About May
The New Girl star has essentially defined our newest portmanteau, adorkable. Deschanel's character Jess — her obliviousness to one-night stands, her awkward tendency to sing everything, her affinity for bows and baking — seems almost too real to be fictionalized. With her quirky sense of style and even quirkier personality, the indie-film veteran and She & Him frontwoman has solidified her role as a dork we can't help but love.
A few of us fell in love with this redhead when she played Jonah Hill's love interest in Superbad, and a few more of us were smitten with her turn as Olive in Easy A, and the world wanted to become her bestie after her star turn in The Help. But with her role as Gwen Stacy in the newest installment of the cult comic classic The Amazing Spiderman, she will surely be tangling the heartstrings of nerd culture everywhere.

Topic: Running out of time?
Hi everyone. First, I just want to say that I am thankful to find this website and to see that there is support out there for this type of cancer. My heart goes out to everyone who is dealing with this and it gives me comfort that my family is not alone.
My father (53 years old) was just recently diagnosed. He was hospitalized on 8-14-06 because of jaundice. After tons of tests and a liver biopsy, it was determined on 8-28-06 that he had cc. He has satge 4 cc with mets to the liver, lymph nodes and the omentum. His bilirubin level was 31 at the highest point and his CA19-9 level was at 12,000. We were told he had 2-3 months to live and pallative care would be the best option.
We sought a second opinion at The Mayo Clinic, where he is currently being treated. Our oncologist at the Mayo told us that chemo was an option but we had to wait until the jaundice cleared before chemo could be started. The prognosis is still poor though.
He has had 2 drainage tubes (1 at St. Johns, 1 at Mayo) put in to try to clear the jaundice but his bilirubin levels as of 9-16-06 are still at 10.1. They have found a blood clot in his lung and clots in his legs. He's currently hospitialized because of severe dehydration, extremely low blood pressure and ascites. They are still working on finding the cause of his low blood pressure but he is no longer dehydrated. He will be having the ascites drained tomorrow.
I am so afraid that he is close to liver failure and he will never get strong enough to start chemo. I don't want my father to have to go through chemo if it's going to make him feel worse and it's not going to help him but I don't want to start hospice care either because it feels like we are just giving up.
I really wish there was more research on this cancer and better screening so it could be caught in the earlier stages when it is still treatable.

Hi everyone,
I've taken an interest in Dhamma poetry and was wondering if any of you could recommend some poets I could check out. I don't mind which school of Buddhism it comes from, or even if it's not Buddhist but rings true (I really like some of Rumi's work). I look forward to your replies and thank you for your time.

Turn-off Tetas! 14 Old-fashioned Arabic Granny names that should rest in peace
In English, it's names like Mavis, Gertrude, Esther, Mildred, Phyllis, Agnes or Winnifred that we associate with the older fuddy duddy generations of bifocal spectacles and zimmer frames. Arabic is no exception in naming fashion and lends its own idiosyncratic counterparts to this trend. There are a distinct set of names, once popular, that evoke a whince, a grimace or even a sigh of relief from the teenagers of today that they dodged the naming bullet. These classic Granny names are being consigned to the 'old school' and the preserve of the senior citizens. Continue reading below »
Arabic has its share of clunky or harsh-sounding heavy-handed names for the ladies. These are the Teta names -- great aunt or grandmothers' names that have elicited a chuckle or gasp of horror and left us thanking our lucky stars or parents that these mortifying monikers are a dying breed. Sometimes their meanings are even more laugh-out-loud than how they sound -- which can be quite an earful.
Even though your own grandma's name undoubtedly brings back warm gooey associations brimming with tireless tenderness, home-cooked food, and fierce smacker kisses and some cheek pinching, her name may not be as adorable as she is. As much as we all love our grandmas and their outpouring of affection, taking their name for posterity might not be our preferred way to immortalize their legacy.
It's harder to dodge that name bullet as an Arab saddled with the sacred duty to keep the elders of the family alive in the names of their grandchildren. For the men of the family, there is a strict naming tradition -- the elder son must name his firstborn son after his father. For the women who inherit their Teta's title, it's less law more habit born out of fondness, and quite commonplace.
Although the retro Western name is making a comeback, (welcome Audrey and Dorris) we doubt the same will be said of some of these Arabic classics. While our great grandparents' monikers are still being resurrected beyond the granite head tombstone, the editors at Al Bawaba would prefer to avoid these staid names and never promote their comeback.
So let the name nightmare begin-- we love you teta, just not your name! Here are 14 Grandma names that you're mortified you've been given or glad you've dodged. Delve into our cross section of Teta tags, some more obscure than others, others so overbearing they should be obsolete and certainly stay off the birth certificate! Remember parents, if tempted by any of these classics, beware of the playground bullies or of sentencing your little lady to singledom, or worse still surrendering her to those boys who want to marry their mammas.
However appalling the appellations, the overwhelming association with our own Granny names is one of endearment and highest esteem, so keeping the name-bashing in good spirit, take your chortle with a pinch of reverence!
Got any others we've missed out? Your own great grandmas' loveable gems perhaps? Do tell in the comment space below!

Pirates extend 'How many Ks' promotion
NEW YORK -- The Pirates extended their "How Many Ks" promotion through Saturday in honor of the season debut of pitcher Francisco Liriano. The fan-value promotion will allow fans an opportunity to save one dollar for every total strikeout registered on Thursday, Friday and now Saturday at Citi Field, as the Pirates continue their series against the Mets.
For every strikeout the Pirates' pitching staff records during the three games, fans will receive one dollar off the purchase price of lower outfield box and outfield box seats for a game during the week of May 13-17, when the Pirates host the Brewers for a four-game series and the Astros on Friday.
The regular advance purchase price for lower outfield box seats is $32, and outfield box seats are $28. So if the Pirates strike out a total of 15 batters during the three games against the Mets, individual tickets will be made available for $17 per game in the lower outfield box section and $13 in the outfield box section for those five games.
Tickets for the week of the promotion will be made available for purchase 30 minutes following the conclusion of today's game against the Mets -- exclusively at pirates.com/howmanyks.
Tickets also will be available for purchase today at 8:30 a.m. ET at the PNC Park box office or by calling 1-877-893-2827. The promotion will run as long as supplies last.

FLEDGLING goalkeeper Louis Scarpino-Cocking had only played three football matches before he was talented spotted.
Now the nine-year-old Westonbirt Prep School pupil has been signed by Swindon Town Academy.
Louis was first spotted by a Swindon Town scout after he had played just three matches with Wootton Bassett Town Football Club's U9s.
"As he was only eight we felt he should have a season playing football before he got involved with the Academy," said Louis' dad Simon.
Before he discovered football, golf was Louis' favourite sport. Even his position as keeper was by chance.
"I thought I would give goal a chance for a few games and then change positions," said Louis.
Following a two-month trial with Swindon Town, Louis has now signed a contract. He trains four days a week after school and plays a match on Sunday.
His favourite teams are Chelsea - for his English part of his heritage – and Juventus FC for his Italian side. His favourite keeper is Chelsea's Petr Cech.
Now Louis has set his sights on the Premier League. "I definitely want to play for any side in the Premier League," he said.
Neil Shaw, headmaster of Westonbirt Prep School, said: "Louis's determination and hard work is an inspiration to us all. He trains four afternoons a week after school and is so positive."

They met behind closed doors over the past four months in the Capitol Hill office of California's senior senator, carving out details of what could be a landmark change for agriculture-based immigration.
Now, however, California growers and farmworkers have hit an impasse, and they are running out of time to agree on a program that could affect hundreds of thousands of farmworkers nationwide.
"Our window is closing quickly," said Tom Nassif, president of the Western Growers Association, which pulled out of talks with the United Farm Workers after both sides refused to budge on minimum wages and other regulations for a new temporary visa program.
The stalled talks threaten to leave agriculture out of the comprehensive immigration bill expected next week from a bipartisan Senate group. But U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-San Francisco, said in an emailed statement Friday "we are close to a resolution, and it is my intention to wrap this up next week."
"We got to a point where we didn't see much give on their side," Nassif said of farm labor groups. "They didn't see much give on our side. So we took a little break."
The months-long talks had reached broad consensus on reforms that would legalize hundreds of thousands of agricultural workers living here illegally.
A new "blue card" would give them a chance to become legal residents and eventually citizens. It would offer a faster process than the 13-year one proposed for other illegal immigrants.
But field workers' newfound mobility and freedom to work wherever they want would likely draw some to the cities for better jobs, compelling agricultural companies to look elsewhere for workers.
"That's fine, but we need to have a good guest-worker program when that happens," Nassif said.
The talks fell apart because "grower associations are insisting to Congress that farm workers are currently paid too much," said United Farm Workers spokeswoman Maria Machuca.
Federal surveys reveal average wages -- $9.17 for vegetable-sorters, $10.62 for ranch hands, $19.90 for inspectors -- but growers say the surveys need to be redone before being used to set minimum wages.
"What we're suggesting is we have a good statistical study that tells us what the wage should be," Nassif said.
The United States has a 10-month agricultural work visa, the H-2A, but California growers say it is too costly and slow for an unpredictable industry. California has the nation's biggest farm workforce but ranks 13th in H-2A workers. Most of the 55,000 guest-workers recruited in 2011 went to Southern states.
Farm business leaders want a smoother, nimbler program and more visas. Unions want to keep or strengthen the existing program's workplace and wage protections, and argue that growers are trying to pay less than what farmworkers make now.
Pete Aiello is too busy gearing up for strawberry season to keep up with politics, so the co-owner of Gilroy-based Uesugi Farms said he was surprised to hear of the stalled negotiations.
Aiello has never used guest-workers, though he would consider an "easier-to-manage and less costly" program. He also said he is not too worried about legalized farmworkers moving off the farms.
"If we want these folks to stay here, to come here to work, we have to be prepared to compete."

Gdansk, Poland, July 7, 2011 – On Thursday evening Poland did not stand a chance against Italy as they lost in straight sets (15-25, 20-25 and 20-25) in the fourth match in Pool F in FIVB 2011 World League Final Round.Italy's Cristian Savani was the best scorer with 13 points, while Bartosz Kurek topped the Polish scorers with 12 points.2011 FIVB Volleyball World LeagueLive Scoring/ResultsFinal Round - Poland July 6-10Nerves were frayed at the start of this encounter as another raucous Polish crowd whipped up the atmosphere inside the Ergo Arena. Both sides committed some unforced errors but it was the Italians who took advantage as they raced ahead into an 8-4 at the first TTO. Italy played much better in the block and as suspected it quickly became obvious that Poland were missing their talisman Zbigniew Bartman. Their main attacker and point scorer had injured his leg in the opening game against Bulgaria.
With a blunted attack Poland also began to struggle in defence and the "Azzurri" smoothly extended their advantage to 11 points (23-12). Poland's coach, Andrea Anastasi made a double-change bringimng on the experienced captain, Piotr Gruszka for his first outing in this year's World League. However, the Poles were helpless and the Italians convincingly took the set 25-15.

On most dairy farms, there are a number of routine injections that are given on a regular basis. Vaccines, antibiotics, reproductive hormones, vitamin/mineral supplements and bST may all be given to a calf or cow at some time. We are giving these injections to prevent disease, improve health or improve production, but also want to avoid causing harm.
I often see individuals on the dairy giving injections in the wrong location, using the wrong-sized needle or not using a clean technique. Equally important is the storage of drugs and vaccines to maintain efficacy and prevent contamination of the product.
If injections are not given in the correct location or we do not follow some basic principles of hygiene, they can potentially cause a local bacterial infection (abscess formation or cellulitis), nerve paralysis or muscle soreness. In addition, injection-site lesions and abscesses have been estimated to cost the U.S. beef industry $4.2 million annually.
There are some basic principles that are important to review and follow regarding the correct way to administer an injection.
1. Follow label directions for injection sites. It is clearly stated on the label as to where the injection should be given. Remember that giving an injection in a location that is not listed on the label constitutes extra-label use and may increase milk and/or slaughter withhold times. Most products are labeled for intramuscular (IM), subcutaneous (SQ- under the skin) or intravenous (IV) use. Certain products can be very irritating when given in the muscle. Use the subcutaneous route whenever possible.
2. If intramuscular injections must be given, use the neck muscles when possible. When giving injections in the hind muscles, avoid the division between the muscles as there is a risk of damaging the nerve that is in this location.
3. Be certain to follow the label for the maximum volume per injection site. If you inject more than recommended volume, the withholding times may be increased.
4. Follow dosing schedules. Antibiotics and other drugs are dosed by body weight. Use a weight tape or scale to determine body weight when needed. Use treatment protocols developed by your herd veterinarian to guide drug and dose selection.
5. Make sure that you use a new needle and syringe or that the needle and syringe are cleaned and disinfected between uses. In many herds, needles are not changed between injections, but it is important to keep hygiene in mind and change needles frequently. Dirty or dull needles cause muscle damage, which can lead to abscesses or possible clostridial infections.
6. When giving modified-live vaccines, always use a brand new syringe and needle as any disinfectant will inactivate the vaccine.
7. Check storage temperatures in the refrigerator. As a rule, animal health products that need refrigeration should be kept between 35 to 45 degrees F (2-7 degrees C) at all times. Freezing is very damaging to vaccines as the antigen (vaccine) can actually separate from the adjuvant (vaccine carrier), preventing the vaccine's ability to stimulate an adequate immune response.
8. Unused mixed modified live vaccines should be discarded one hour after mixing as these are live vaccines and will not survive storage.
9. Expiration dates should be observed closely and all outdated products should be discarded. Killed vaccines should be disposed of within 10 days after opening. Vaccines that change color (loss of pink color, for example) should also be discarded as the color change indicates that the pH of the product has been compromised and the vaccine is no longer effective.
10. Use a thermometer to measure refrigerator temperature. Results of a recent survey of on-farm refrigerators showed that only 27 percent of the refrigerators tested were working properly. Seventy-three percent of 180 refrigerators observed did not store animal-health products at the correct temperature. This seems like a laundry list of some real basic points, but if not followed correctly we can lose the benefit of the animal health products we use or, in some cases, actually cause more harm. Review these principles with the animal health crew on a regular basis to ensure proper technique.

Harvey tuning out spate of Tommy John candidates
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- One after another, stories of multiple Tommy John surgeries have littered baseball's recent landscape. A's starter Jarrod Parker is the latest example, headed for a second surgery on his right elbow. Atlanta's Kris Medlen is also scheduled for his second operation, as is his teammate Brandon Beachy. San Diego's Cory Luebke is on the list as well.
Recovering from his first -- and, he hopes, only -- Tommy John surgery, Matt Harvey is doing his best to tune it out.
"I want to be on the field more than anybody, but I also know there is a process," Harvey said. "It is slow. You have to take things very carefully, and everybody's different. My mind-set is always going to be, 'Come back early, and come back and win.'"
With that in mind, Harvey has busied himself with his throwing program, making 20 tosses at 60 feet four times a week. He hopes to increase his throwing distance to 75 feet by the end of this week, keeping him on track to climb atop a mound around June. The ultimate goal remains Opening Day 2015, even if he continues holding out hope for a September return.
"Everybody's always going to be so cautious about the recovery, but as competitors, we're always going to want to get back on the field," he said. "If the doctors at that point say it's fine, my mind's always going to be on the baseball field."
Before any of that can happen, however, the Mets must determine where he will be when camp breaks next week. Though players typically rehab at their teams' Spring Training facilities, Harvey lives in New York year-round and has expressed a desire to rehab there until he is close to returning to the big leagues. MLB's Collective Bargaining Agreement is on his side, stipulating that the Mets cannot force him to train in Florida for more than 20 days without his written consent.
Ultimately, Harvey and the Mets could come to some sort of compromise, perhaps allowing him to rehab in New York when the team is at home, and in Florida when the club is on the road. Those are discussions the two sides will have over the next week.
"Obviously, I want to do what's best for the organization and best for the rehab, and I think at that point it's going to be a discussion of where the best place is at certain times to do things," Harvey said, noting that he discussed his rights with the MLB Players Association earlier this month. "I don't want to be in New York for a story. I don't want to be around [the media] all the time. I want to be there to support the team, be there to learn. And the story is the 25 guys that suit up every day to play."

Ukiah Daily Journal
After more than a month of searching, authorities on Wednesday arrested a driver suspected of leaving a Ukiah man lying injured on North State Street after hitting him with his vehicle, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Lluan Carinos Fuentes, 24, of Ukiah, was arrested at 9:08 a.m. May 22 on suspicion of hit-and-run causing injury or death and vehicular manslaughter, and is held at the Mendocino County Jail under $75,000 bail.
The CHP reported previously that Jesse Ray Pieri, 26, of Ukiah, was found lying in the roadway around 11:50 p.m. April 19 on North State Street south of Agnes Lane. Pieri was unconscious and had major injuries "consistent with being struck by a vehicle," the CHP stated at the time.
Pieri was flown to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital with head trauma and a fractured leg, and was later pronounced dead.
"It took a long time to track down who was responsible," said CHP officer Patricia Benedetti. An officer was meeting with the district attorney Thursday regarding the case, she said.
No further information was available Thursday night.

Nut Allergies: Information for Foodservice Operators
Food allergies are a serious food safety concern.1 As many as 15 million people in the U.S. have food allergies, including approximately 6 million children. A study, published in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, revealed that among the 5.9 million children with food allergies, 39 percent have a history of severe reactions and 30 percent have multiple food allergies.2 Though most individuals develop food allergies in early childhood, food allergies can develop at any age.
Food allergy occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks a food protein. Ingestion of the offending food may trigger the sudden release of chemicals, including histamine, resulting in symptoms of an allergic reaction.3 The symptoms may be mild (rashes, hives, itching, swelling, etc.) or severe (trouble breathing, wheezing, loss of consciousness, etc.). A food allergy can be potentially fatal. Reactions are unpredictable. When they occur, they can be the same, less severe than, or more severe than previous reactions. Additionally, an individual may not always experience the same symptoms of an allergic reaction (for example, an individual may have hives with one reaction, and vomiting with a subsequent reaction). The nature of a reaction depends on a person's level of allergy and the dose of the allergen that was ingested.4
The Eight Major Food Allergens
- Milk
- Eggs
- Fish (e.g. bass, flounder, cod)
- Seafood (e.g. crab, lobster, shrimp)
- Tree nuts (e.g. almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- Peanuts
- Wheat
- Soybeans
Allergen Labeling Law
On January 1, 2006 the Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA)5 of 2004 took effect. The law requires that food manufacturers identify the presence of the eight major food allergens on the food labels.
As a foodservice professional, you need to know that the FALCPA labeling law does not directly apply to foodservice operations. As an amendment to the Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act, the FALCPA targets packaged foods regulated by the FDA. However, there are two points worth noting:
If you pre-package foods and offer them for sale (e.g. take-home entrees or salads), you are subject to labeling requirements. If a customer asks for a take-home box or doggie bag, though, you are not.
As a restaurant owner or manager, you are the key resource for clients who consume your meals. Without access to package labels, clients depend on you, your staff and your menus to answer questions about food ingredients.
For more information visit: Food Allergens Labeling Guidance, Compliance & Regulatory Information
About Other Allergens
Persons may still be allergic to — and have serious reactions to — foods other other than the eight eight foods identified by the Allergen Labeling Law. Always be sure to read the food label's ingredient list carefully to avoid any food allergens in question.
A key term in the food allergy arena today is cross-contact, or contamination of one food with an allergy-causing ingredient from another food. Cross contact in the food allergy world is the quite similar to cross contamination in the food sanitation world. It may occur during manufacturing or in food handling. Foodservice professionals need to be alert to this hazard in the foodservice environment. For example, chopping walnuts on a cutting board that is also used for chopping pears for a salad is a cross-contact concern for customers with a walnut allergy who order the pear, gorgonzola and walnut salad without walnuts.
Foodservice professionals need to be alert to this hazard in the foodservice environment. For example, chopping walnuts on a cutting board that is also used for chopping pears for a salad is a cross-contact concern for customers with a walnut allergy who order the pear, gorgonzola and walnut salad without walnuts.
Sources of Cross-Contact
- Cooking oils, splatter, and steam from cooking foods.
- Any food equipment used for the processing of allergy-free foods must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to use.
- All utensils (i.e.,spoons, knives, spatulas, tongs), cutting boards, bowls, pots, food pans, sheet pans, preparation surfaces.
- Allergen-containing foods touching or coming into contact with allergy-free foods (i.e. a nut-containing muffin touching a nut-free muffin).
- Fryers and grills.
- Wash hands and change gloves after handling potential food allergens.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A defense attorney is questioning how clearly a midshipman remembers a party where she says she was sexually assaulted by three former U.S. Naval Academy football players.
Lt. Cmdr. Angela Tang pointed to inconsistencies Friday in what the woman told Navy investigators last year and how she is recalling events at a military hearing this week in Washington.
The woman says she had been drinking heavily and has no memory of having sex with the men. She says she only learned about it later from one of the men accused.
Tang also is questioning the veracity of what the woman told investigators. The woman initially did not want an investigation and says she held back details.
The hearing is being held to determine whether the men will face a court-martial.
