Welcome, and thank you for downloading ActivePerl. This release corresponds to Perl version 5.16.3.
The following platforms are supported by this release:
AIX 5.3 or later (rs6000)
HP-UX: 11.11 or later (PA-RISC)
Linux: glibc 2.3 or later (x86 and x64)
Mac OS X 10.6 or later (x86, 32 and 64 bit)
Solaris 2.9 or later (sparc, 32 and 64 bit)
Solaris 10 or later (x86)
Windows XP (x86)
Windows Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008, 7, Server 2012, 8 (x86 and x64)
For a chronological list of changes included in this and past releases, see the ActivePerl 5.16 Change Log.
Perl 5.16 is not binary compatible with Perl 5.14, 5.12, 5.10 or 5.8. In particular, do not attempt to use extensions or PPM packages built for ActivePerl 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 series builds with ActivePerl 1600 series builds and vice versa. Please check "Incompatible Changes" in perl5140delta for known source level incompatibilities between the Perl 5.16 releases and the earlier release series.
There are some known outstanding issues with the PPM 4 client:
The PPM state database (containing configuration information for repositories, view options in the GUI, and repository state) is not imported from previous installations.
If you have added custom PPM 4 repositories in previous ActivePerl releases then you should reconfigure them manually with
ppm repo add ... or in the GUI. The repository state will be automatically re-synchronized when PPM is run.
Post install scripts for packages installed from the GUI will not be able to receive non-default answers for any prompts it might produce. Packages that need non-default answers must be installed with the command line version of ppm.
List icons will sometimes not repaint properly after scrolling under X11. This does not affect the Windows and Mac OS X builds.
sudo ppm ... the first time
ppm is invoked from a regular user account on Unix will create a root owned state database. This effectively makes the database read-only when running
ppm without
sudo, and might manifest itself as Application Error dialogs when running the GUI. Workaround is to run
sudo chown -R $USER ~/.ActivePerl once to fix up ownership of the state database.
GNU tar is required to extract the ActivePerl tarball into the filesystem. A precompiled version of GNU tar for AIX 5L can be found here:
You can also get the source package for GNU tar from:
The reloc_perl script does not correctly update the perl-dynamic executable. The workaround is to install directly from the tarball into the new location.
GNU tar is required to extract the ActivePerl tarball into the filesystem. A precompiled version of GNU tar for Solaris is available from:
You can also get the source package for GNU tar from:
Perl library paths, and thus PPM Areas, defined in the shell by the PERL5LIB environment variable are not available to PPM when it is launched by clicking the PPM icon in OS X. To to make this variable available in the OS X GUI, add an entry similar to the following to ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist:
sudo ppm or
sudo ppm gui does not start up the GUI with root privileges. Use
ppm as a command line tool with
The fork() emulation has known limitations. See perlfork for a detailed summary. In particular, fork() emulation will not work correctly with extensions that are either not thread-safe, or maintain internal state that cannot be cloned in the pseudo-child process. This caveat currently applies to extensions such as Tk and Storable.
It seems that some people are having problems with the ActivePerl MSI installer. The first thing to note is that you CANNOT install ActivePerl 5.16 over an older version of ActivePerl based on 5.14, 5.12, 5.10, 5.8, 5.6 or 5.005, such as build 1204 or any other 1200, 1000, 800, 600 or 500 series build. We have determined that some of these problems are due to other installations of Perl that may be pointed at by something in the environment.
The sure-fire solution is to make absolutely certain that no other installations of Perl are on the target machine. Realizing that this is not always possible, you can follow these steps to ensure the other installations will not interfere.
Stop the "Windows Installer" service. This can be accomplished from the command prompt using the following command:
c:\> net stop "Windows Installer"
Temporarily remove or rename PERLLIB and PERL5LIB environment variables in the system environment.
Temporarily remove or rename the following registry values:
[\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] lib = <directory> (REG_SV)
[\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] sitelib = <directory> (REG_SV)
[\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] lib-<PerlVersion> = <directory> (REG_SV)
[\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Perl] sitelib-<PerlVersion> = <directory>(REG_SV)
Proceed with the installation.
Once the installation has completed successfully, the above actions may be undone although restoring the environment variables or the registry values may interfere with the proper operation of your new ActivePerl installation. In order to perform all of the above steps, you will need to have Administrative privileges on the target machine. If you do not have the required privileges you should contact your Administrator.
The Perl distribution comes with extensive documentation. On Unix platforms, all the standard documentation is installed as man pages under the Perl install location. The location of the man pages may need to be added to the MANPATH environment variable in order to access them. For example, in the C shell:
% setenv MANPATH /opt/ActivePerl-5.16/man:$MANPATH
The documentation is installed in HTML format on all platforms. If ActivePerl was installed in /opt/ActivePerl-5.16 then the HTML documentation would be located in /opt/ActivePerl-5.16/html.
On Windows, the standard documentation along with Windows-specific Perl documentation is installed in HTML format, and is accessible from the "Start" menu.
Updated versions of the HTML documentation will always be available at the ActiveState website:
Please report any bugs you encounter with this release in the ActiveState bug database:
If you do not have web access, reports can be also sent via email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please be sure to include detailed information about the platform in your message.
As far as possible, please ensure that there is enough information in the report to reproduce the bug elsewhere. It also helps to submit a minimal test case that exhibits the bug.
The two most recent stable releases are available for free download. This corresponds to the Perl community's own version support policy.
Whenever the underlying Perl version becomes "unsupported" by the Perl community itself, support for the corresponding ActivePerl versions will be limited to Business Edition and Enterprise Edition customers.
You can continue to use older ActivePerl releases indefinitely under the terms of the Community Edition license, but won't be able to download the installers from ActiveState.
The PPM repositories for unsupported ActivePerl releases will remain freely accessible for at least 6 months after support ends, but will no longer be updated with new builds from CPAN.

Upscale Ventura Kids Consignment Event at the Ventura County Fairgrounds
The Upscale Ventura Kids Consignment Event will be held at the Ventura County Fairgrounds on May 16-19, 2013. This community service event allows families to sell their top quality children's clothing, newborn to juniors, shoes, baby equipment, all furniture, maternity wear, sporting goods and toys. Consignors can earn up to 70% of sales. Families are invited to purchase these top quality items for their children and home at a fraction of the retail cost, thus saving money. The consignors and purchasers help to boost the local economy, as they have extra money to spend for a downtown shopping trip, a family adventure to the Channel Islands or maybe a great birthday party at Chuckie Cheese! When the community pulls together to purchase like this, we lower our carbon footprint by reusing, recycling and thus reducing!
The Upscale Ventura Kids Consignment Event is always interested in supporting the community. This year we are partnering with FOOD Share, Ventura County 's food bank to help them put food on their shelves. On Thursday, May 16th be the first people into the event by simply bringing three cans of food and you can get in an hour early. This is good only on opening day. Additionally, consignors have the option to donate unsold items. All donations will be given to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Ventura.
We are currently accepting consignors for the May event. To consign please visit our website: www.upscaleventurakids.com or visit our Facebook page: Upscale Ventura Kids.
For more information, please contact Kiersten Rugg, owner at (803) 524-9678 or by email: email@example.com.

Forget the striking librarians and a looming conflict with inside workers. These are short- term issues. Mayor Rob Ford and Toronto city council have 24 hours to rescue themselves from making a problematic long-term transit decision that will shape the city for the next half century, even longer.
For starters, it is now patently obvious that Toronto is not ready for the dramatic make-or-break vote that is scheduled for city council on Wednesday. All sides, from the Mayor on down, need to pull back. The decision over whether to extend the Sheppard subway underground east to Scarborough Centre or build an LRT line down the middle of Sheppard to Morningside must be put off.
Only aficionados of perpetual short-term political wrangling and situation-comedy story lines could see any merit in the current trajectory of the city's transit file. Read more

Ah, the weekend!
It's so close, we can almost taste it.
…Or maybe we're just thinking about all the delicious food we got to enjoy from Cairo Cowboy today!
TGI…Food Truck Friday!
Owners Chrissy and Y.L. told Carson all about what inspired to them to start cooking on the streets:
After the two were married in 2009, they decided they wanted to open a restaurant, but they just couldn't find the perfect location.
Luckily, timing was on their side because the food truck craze was just starting to heat up in Los Angeles.
Chrissy and Y.L. decided to take the plunge and start up a truck. It was originally known as Kabob n' Roll.
Their family-owned business was so successful, they decided to open up a brick and mortar version, but they switched up the name to Cairo Cowboy.
Chrissy and Y.L. have now changed the name of the truck to match, so if you see Cairo Cowboy rolling around on the streets, it serves all the Kabob n' Roll food that you know and love!
The truck specializes in straight-up Mediterranean fare. In fact, many of the entrees are made from Y.L.'s mother's secret recipes from their homeland of Egypt.
It's so secret, even Y.L. and Chrissy don't know all the ingredients to every dish!
Cairo Cowboy is committed to using the most healthy, fresh and authentic ingredients around, so you won't find any preservatives or trans-fat in their food.
There's also plenty of yummy vegetarian and vegan options available if you're not a meat eater.
Carson's favorite part about Food Truck Friday is that he gets to pick one loyal AMP Radio listener and reward them with a free lunch for their entire office.
Today, Nicole from Santa Monica was our big winner!
When's your next chance to score some free grub? Each and every Friday, Carson invites a new truck into the studio, so there's plenty of more opportunities to win!
For more information on where to track down the Cairo Cowboy crew, take a look at their website and follow them on Twitter!

The streetcar line along H Street faces yet another potential delay after D.C. Councilman Marion Barry, who once proposed the system, contested the $50 million contract to build it.
The Ward 8 councilman filed a resolution of disapproval against the Dean-Facchina LLC contract, announced last week, to design and build the streetcar line along H Street and Benning Road in Northeast D.C.
That effectively puts a 45-day hold on the contract, which could delay the line and add untold costs. Barry's resolution was first reported by the Washington Post.
"I'm not opposed to the H Street line if it can be shown there are cost benefits," Barry told The Washington Examiner.
While Barry said he supports subsidizing streetcars, he is concerned about how much each trip would be subsidized and whether the city should prioritize its money that way when it already subsidizes Metro and DC Circulator. "For $50 million, I could get at least three or four recreation centers built in Ward 8," he said.
The city's proposed streetcar network would cover 37 miles along eight lines. Tracks are already laid along H Street, and the city has some of the trolley cars waiting in storage after ordering them in 2005. But the system has been beset by delays. The H Street line is currently slated to start running in July 2013.
The original line proposed for Anacostia in Ward 8 remains in flux without a start date, though. Barry denied that his resolution was due to the H Street line leapfrogging ahead of the Anacostia one.
Ward 3 Councilwoman Mary Cheh, who leads the transportation committee, said she was skeptical of Barry's stated reasons and said Barry should have raised his concerns directly instead of pulling what she called "11th hour shenanigans."
Councilman Tommy Wells, whose Ward 6 includes the proposed H Street line, is now trying to bypass Barry's roadblock. He plans to file emergency legislation Wednesday to move forward with the contract.
Such legislation needs a supermajority, so Wells would need to line up support before next Tuesday's likely vote. Supermajorities normally require nine of 13 votes, but officials weren't sure Tuesday how many were needed since former Chairman Kwame Brown resigned. Wells did not know if he had enough votes but said his effort couldn't hurt.

The defensive backs were all over the wide receivers for most of the day, and consistently making plays.
QUARTERBACK UPDATE: Starter Jeff Driskel's accuracy slipped a little bit Wednesday, thanks in part to some overthrows on deep passes where his receivers had broken open. He did have one of the best throws of the day, though, a laser shot down the middle that Quinton Dunbar caught in stride for a 40-yard touchdown. … In the battle to be Driskel's backup, true freshman Treon Harris appeared to have the best day. He was very accurate and seemed to make decisions quicker than he has been. His comfort and confidence seem to grow with each practice. … True freshman Will Grier shared reps with Harris on the No. 2 offense. Like Driskel, he struggled some with accuracy. … Sophomore Skyler Mornhinweg may have had his best practice in terms of passing. His best throw was a strike to Andre Debose deep down the sideline.
TRENDING ON OFFENSE: Wide receivers Ahmad Fulwood and Dunbar continue to use their size and athletic ability to make plays down the field. Both had long touchdown receptions Wednesday, and both have been go-to guys throughout camp. … Pass protection was sounder than it has been in recent practices, with the offensive line giving the quarterbacks a little more time to find receivers downfield. … Harris completed numerous passes, including a 25-yarder to Michael McNeely during 11-on-11. … With Matt Jones and Kelvin Taylor still sidelined, Mark Herndon got numerous carries and made several nice runs, including a long run after bursting through a hole at the line of scrimmage in 11-on-11.
TRENDING ON DEFENSE: The young secondary had its best day since camp started. The defensive backs were all over the receivers for most of the day, and consistently making plays. During a man-to-man passing drill early in practice, the secondary intercepted three of the first four passes. All three interceptions were made by true freshman corners — J.C. Jackson, Quincy Wilson and Jalen Tabor. Later in practice, during 11-on-11, redshirt freshman safety Marcell Harris broke up a deep pass and sophomore safety Marcus Maye intercepted a pass. Overall, it was a great day for the secondary. … Redshirt freshman tackle Caleb Brantley may have had his best practice. He stuffed Herndon for a loss during 11-on-11 and seemed to be getting consistent push up the middle.
TRUE FRESHMAN SPOTLIGHT: Although he continues to be in a non-contact jersey, J.C. Jackson has been participating in all the drills and is making a strong push for playing time. He intercepted a pass and his coverage seemed tight throughout practice against some of the top UF receivers. He's involved in the competition for the starting cornerback spot opposite All-SEC corner Vernon Hargreaves III.
PLAY OF THE DAY: As he seems to do in every practice, 6-4 wide receiver Ahmad Fulwood made an acrobatic reception deep down the field. On this one from Jeff Driskel, he came back for the ball and then outjumped cornerback Brian Poole to make the catch.
INJURY UPDATE: Sophomore linebacker Alex Anzalone had to be helped off the field late in practice with an unspecified leg injury. … Wide receiver Andre Debose, defensive end Alex McCalister, defensive end Bryan Cox Jr. and defensive end Taven Bryan returned to practice in full-contact jerseys. … Tailback Adam Lane, cornerback Vernon Hargreaves III and cornerback J.C. Jackson practiced in non-contact jerseys, while safety Marcus Maye practiced in a contact jersey for the first time since camp started. … Tailback Matt Jones (knee), offensive lineman Trip Thurman (shoulder) and safety Keanu Neal (unspecified injury) did not practice.
NEXT OPEN PRACTICE: Thursday, 8:50-10:50 a.m., Dizney Stadium.

The nation's plumbing has sprung a leak that requires a $1 trillion repair job if Americans want to keep flushing their toilets and drinking clean water in years to come, the American Water Works Association said in a report issued Monday.
Unless that investment in replacing old water and sewer systems begins soon, a plague of leaks and service disruptions that already has begun in some places — notably the District and suburban Maryland — will continue to spread through the more than 1 million miles of pipelines, the report said. Delaying action now will result in higher costs later, an expense that is expected to cause water bills to soar in the coming decades.
The report comes two months after a similar study by the American Society of Civil Engineers concluded it was necessary to spend an additional $9.4 billion per year between now and 2020. Nationwide, an estimated 1.7 trillion gallons of water leaks from pipes each year before it can be put to use. About 900 billion gallons of raw sewage flows into waterways.

An alternative to the Google Hangouts feature on Google Plus was introduced in the form of Social Hangouts on Facebook, which enables video chatting with up to 20 friends without leaving the social network's platform.
While Facebook and Skype teamed up to debut a video chat feature of their own, the developers of Social Hangouts say group videoconferencing isn't part of the deal.
Readers, have you tried the third-party application Social Hangouts? What do you think of it?

St. Pete
Justin looks forward to St. Pete season opener
25-March-2011 - After a long and productive off-season, Justin and Dreyer & Reinbold Racing are looking forward to this weekend's Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in Florida, the first race of the 2011 IZOD IndyCar Series. The 1.8 mile circuit is a challenging combination of tight, twisty street course and high speed airport runway, but with a podium finish there in 2009 and the runner-up spot in 2010, Justin's hoping he and the team can get their season off to a flying start in the #22 TranSystems car this weekend.
"I'm looking forward to St. Pete," said Justin. "I've always been strong there in the past, so it will be good to go back. We have a lot of information that we want to use and I'm hoping that we can be competitive all weekend. We've done all the preparation necessary and now it's just time to see how it plays out."

These will work fine for a costumee but there is not much to them as far as foot wear and for the $15.00 I expected a bit more. No leather or hand made stuff even on the bottom of them.

The costs of being a runner can really add up. From registration fees, to new running shoes every three to four months and the latest accessories, credit card bills become painful to look at.
Running doesn't require a gym membership—unless we keep having winters like this one—but the sport itself does require other purchases. And it seems the more miles I run, the more money I have to spend.
It's actually kind of embarrassing how much money I spent on completing four marathons last year. Not including travel and accommodation costs, I spent more than $400 in registration fees alone.
But registration fees aren't even the biggest expense. When I got to thinking about how much I actually spent on running in 2013, I quickly realized where all my money went:
-$150 GPS Watch
-$19.95 KT tape
-$39 Yurbuds
-$5.95 Body Glide
-$18 Foam Roller
-$24.99 The Stick
-$160 Long Run Fuel to Last Eight Months (2 marathon training cycles)
-$90 Running Tights
-$100 Running Shorts
-$119.88/year Jamming out to Spotify on Long Runs
-$476/year Running Shoes
-$440.25 Four Marathon Registration Fees
You get the idea. Expenses can really add up if you're not careful. I spent $1,600 in just one year to enjoy this hobby of mine—not including the cost of traveling for two marathons. I know I can't be the only young, under-paid staffer in the District paying too much on running supplies and rent.
But as I continue to train and complete more marathons, I've gotten wiser. There's a way to have an enjoyable running experience without emptying your checkbook—if you're smart about it.
Quality Over Quantity
I was hesitant to spend a large amount of money on my first pair of running tights. But the store employees convinced me that the product would last. And they were right. They're the only pair of running tights I own and they've gotten me through nearly three winters of running. By investing in one quality pair of tights, I don't have to go out and spend more money to replace them. This is true for most of my running clothes and products. I have high-quality products but don't have to buy many of them because they last.
Join a Team
Aside from the several other benefits a team membership has, paying a minimal fee to a club can save you money. Several of them offer free entries into low-key races they host and also offer discounts at many local running stores. This really is a no-brainer: you make new friends, receive great discounts and get into races for free.
Reward Programs
This suggestion may seem counter productive because you have to spend more money to save more money. But running shoes are a necessity anyway, so why not get rewarded for it? Nearly all of the local running stores in the Washington metropolitan area offer rewards programs. I bought my running shoes from one store last year that gave me $20 for every $200 I spent, and I ended up saving $40.
Go Local
I spent hundreds of dollars on expenses last year traveling for two marathons. Take advantage of the fact that you live in an area where there's hundreds of local races in the Washington metropolitan area ever year. Check out RunWashington's race calendar for a full list of races in the area.
Be Strategic
If you do want to spend money on traveling for a race, be strategic about where you go. Pick a destination where your friends or family (with an extra room in their home, of course) live. Or find a race in a city you already planned on going to for vacation. London marathon, anyone?
Think Birthdays and Holidays-Santa has quite the reputation to be extra nice to runners. Add that foam roller you've always wanted to your wish list next year.
Be Sure
Nothing—and I mean nothing—is worse than a wasted race entry. Don't just sign up for a race on a whim. Be absolutely sure you are going to compete in the race and don't skimp on the training.
The Early Bird Catches the Worm
The earlier you sign up for a race, the cheaper it is. Aside from the marathons that have lottery systems with one flat registration fee, signing up several months in advance for a race can you save you tons of money. And booking travel arrangements early on can also save you money. Several hotels team up with races to offer athletes special deals right after registration opens up. This usually means you have to shell out lots of money nine months before the race, but you could save hundreds of dollars doing it this way.
Find Some Friends
Find a running buddy who will compete in the same race as you. You can split travel and accommodation costs with him or her and also have someone to keep you company. If taking public transportation is too tough on your legs after a marathon, pick a meeting spot with another friend who competed and share a cab ride home with him or her.
Don't Get Caught Up in the Newest and Latest Technology
Save the money you were planning on spending on the latest GPS watch because the best technology in the world can't buy you a Boston Marathon qualifying time. Treating your body well (eating healthier and training smarter and harder) will. It's all up to you to be the best runner that you can be.

Bridging Nations is a nonprofit, policy organization based in Washington D.C. that explores ways to facilitate cooperation in an increasingly interdependent and multipolar world.
In 2002, Bridging Nations was established in order to explore ways to make countries more competitive in light of the changing world order.

TORONTO - The NASCAR appeals process is a farce.
Not because the appeals panel members are unethical or uninformed, but because they are auto racing insiders.
And because they were hand-picked by NASCAR for the job.
On Tuesday a three member panel upheld the six-race suspension of Chad Knaus that included a 25-championship point penalty to his driver Jimmie Johnson and the No. 48 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet team.
This is not to say that Knaus and the HMS crew did not break the rules, but that they have been denied true justice in their attempts to explain their case.
What NASCAR needs to do is what Major League Baseball does. MLB appoints an independent arbitrator — usually a retired judge — to hear its cases and the results are binding on both parties.
In NASCAR, Knaus and team owner Rick Hendrick did not have the benefit of such an independent body to state their case.
To put the situation Knaus and company found themselves in Tuesday simply it was like trying to defend yourself from accusations of cheating on your income taxes before a panel of Revenue Canada agents.
You are not going to get an impartial hearing there and neither did Knaus and Hendrick at NASCAR.
Here we go again.
Formula 1 boss of bosses Bernie Ecclestone wants to re-visit the idea of budget caps for teams in the world championship.
Ecclestone said that in an uncertain economic climate — particularly among European nations where F1 runs most of its races — the series must start looking at shoring up finances.
This is not the first time F1 has been faced with the prospect of a cap. Three seasons ago then FIA president Max Mosley was all but run out of F1 for suggesting the same thing.
Ecclestone made his feelings known in an interview with F1's official web side where he accused top teams like Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull of living in a financial fantasy world.
"Let's put it this way: There are still too many people in Formula 1 running around with rose-tinted glasses," he said. "They obviously like to see the world as they want it to be — wonderful, the sun is shining, isn't life delightful — and not how it is. The downside of these glasses is that they blind you to reality."
Ecclestone said teams must stop spending more than they have to and that a budget cap would force them to do just that.
"We have had this kind of problem for quite a while now as of course (big teams) spend what they have," he said. "You could install a mandatory budget for all teams — on the basis of the smaller teams — but (rich teams) don't like it and fiercely fight against it."
Ecclestone said he would certainly support a cap.
"I would welcome it," he said.
The radical DeltaWing race car that was developed in the hopes it would be the new vehicle for the IZOD IndyCar Series will live to race another day.
This time with the backing of Nissan at the famed 24 Hours of Le Mans in June of this year.
The beautifully-designed machine will not be an official entrant at Le Mans but will race to showcase its technology that was brought to life by iconoclastic American racer Dan Gurney.
The rear-engined DeltaWing is half the weight of a conventional Le Mans car and has half the aerodynamic drag.
As a result it can produce a remarkable 300 braking horsepower out of its four cylinder, 1.6 litre turbo charged Nissan engine.
That should be more than enough to race with the LMP1 prototypes.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) – Tag lines at the Jefferson County Courthouse can be dreadful. In fact, they can be so burdensome that at least one person has actually tried to pay employees to allow them to move ahead in the line.
Now, those who took part are in trouble with the law.
Three county employees are facing felony charges for their roles in allowing a customer to pay to skip ahead in line.
Jozette Berry, Alisha Cole and LaShonda Smaw were arrested for using their office for personal gain.
The three women face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

National Chicken Month
According to the Washington Post, poultry is expected to become the world's most consumed meat, and for good reason! Chicken might just be one of the most perfect foods ever. It's nutritious, packed with protein and super delicious, no matter which way you cook it. It's no wonder there is a whole entire month devoted to this beautiful bird. August marks National Chicken Month and, here at Lady Luck Casino® Nemacolin, we'll be celebrating too!
Chicken History
Fried Chicken is a staple comfort food in the United States. But it has a long deep history with other countries that span back to ancient times. Asia and Europe ate fried chicken often. During Medieval times, fried chicken was served regularly. Scottish immigrants have been credited with introducing fried chicken to America.
Chicken Dishes
Chicken is an excellent meat to prepare at home because it's lean and packs a high amount of protein. It's great for achieving health goals, but it's also an excellent food choice because it can help keep you full for hours. There's nothing more frustrating than eating something and being hungry two seconds later. However, not everyone is a gourmet chef and can whip up thousands of creative chicken ideas. Here are three tips on how you can spice up your chicken dishes from home.
- Marinate It: Hands down, marinating is one of the best things you can do for chicken. Marinating the chicken infuses a lot of flavor into your chicken, while preventing it from becoming too dry. Try this on for size. Mix olive oil, ¼ cup of lemon juice, ¼ cup of white vinegar, and 1 tablespoon each of dried parsley and basil. Add in a ½ teaspoon of dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, cracked black pepper and a dash of chopped garlic. Dip your chicken into the mixture and let it sit for 10 minutes. Voila! Chicken perfection.
- Stuff It: Stuffing your chicken can really take your chicken to the next level. It's not nearly as time consuming as you would think. All you have to do is flatten the chicken with a mallet. Then fold in your preferred ingredients. We recommend light vegetables like broccoli or spinach, to strike a balance between the thickness of the meat. But you can use just about anything. Fold over the sides, and then bake for 30 minutes. Yum.
- Bread It: Breaded chicken is absolutely delicious! The coating from the breadcrumbs allows you to keep the moisture of the chicken, while delivering a gratifying crunch. It's the perfect balance of texture. Simply dip your chicken breast into egg whites, your preferred seasonings and panko breadcrumbs. Then pop it into the oven for 10-15 minutes. Score!
Our Menu
In honor of chicken month, we've crafted some poultry dishes of our own that are sure to satisfy your appetite.
- Double Fried Wings: Rubbed or sauced, celery sticks, ranch or bleu cheese. Rubbed or Cajun, seasoned salt, garlic Parmesan. Sauced or mild buffalo, Asian, habanero jelly and chipotle BBQ. Five for $6.99 or 10 for $10.00. (Also available at The Lone Wolf Express.)
- Blackened Chicken Sandwich: Cajun chicken with bleu cheese. $8.99
- Chicken Bianco: Pan-fried, white wine mushroom sauce. $16.99. Add on a Pittsburgh salad with mixed greens, tomato, cucumbers, sweet onions and cheese. You can also substitute your chicken for steak. Chicken $9.99. Steak $12.99. (Also available at The Lone Wolf Express.)
- Chicken Tender Platter: Buttermilk marinated tenders and French fries, onion rings or coleslaw. $9.99
National Chicken Month is almost up. Stop by today to try out our chicken dishes before these deals fly away. Cheesy we know, but we couldn't resist.

Class act Katie has eyes trained on Rio Olympics
Gold medallist boxer and A-grade maths student Katie Taylor returned to the classroom yesterday where it was revealed she still wants another shot at Olympic glory in four years time.
Her dad and coach Pete Taylor, who accompanied Katie to her alma mater, St Kilian's Community School in Bray, Co Wicklow, said Katie wants to fight for Ireland at the next Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
The Taylors are currently locked in contract negotiations with the Irish Boxing Association, the outcome of which will determine whether or not she turns pro.
He said they have come under "a lot of pressure" from promoters to make a decision and one would be made in the next 10 days.
Almost two months on from her win at the London Games and her hometown is still decked with 'congratulations' banners and so it was at St Kilian's Community School, where 700 students packed into the gym to give an ear-splitting welcome to their most famous past-pupil.
Katie gingerly entered the hall to the strains of that infamous boxing tune 'Eye of the Tiger', clearly taken aback by the high-decibel cheers.
"It's always great to come back here to see all the students and the teachers here really shaped me into who I am.
"I have great memories here," she told the crowd.
Principal John Kelly waived the school's mobile phone ban for the afternoon and, quick as a flash, a sea of handsets were whipped out of students' pockets as they craned to get the best shot of their heroine.
Mr Kelly paid tribute to Katie's intelligence, humility and "complete lack of ego" and said it was these characteristics, along with her talent, which have set her apart.

"Film and standup are two separate worlds in my head," says actor and comedian Aziz Ansari. "My goal with the new hour I'm working on is to be even more aggressive with the material, more confident and just overall make it a better set."
Ansari's confidence has taken him far in just a few short years. After his troupe, Human Giant, got its own MTV series of the same name, he started appearing on everything from Flight of the Conchords to Scrubs. Currently he plays the scene-stealing Tom Haverford on NBC's Parks and Recreation. It's enough to make you wonder if his role as the in-your-face, go-getting comedian Randy in Adam Sandler's Funny People has a little self-caricature to it. Indeed, on Ansari's new live DVD, Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening, there's a segment of Ansari performing as Randy, which means he may still slip into his subversive alter ego on stage.
"I hate describing what my new standup is about," Ansari says, "but if I made the new hour into a CD, some tracks would be "Why'd She Eat That Donut?," "Is My Cousin Harris a Cocaine Dealer?," "The Racist Locksmith" and "My Favorite Ethnic Slurs." Randy or no Randy, it sounds like there will be plenty of energy and hilarity during the comic's two-night stand in Denver this week.

LERWICK, Scotland, June 10 (UPI) -- The owner of Scotland's famous moonwalking Shetland pony said the animal is engaged in a "paternity battle" to see if a foal is his progeny.
Mari Williamson, 42, who runs the Benston stud farm on Shetland, said Socks, the pony famous for moonwalking in YouTube videos and on a commercial for broadband provider Three, may be the father of foal Scamp and she is spending thousands on a DNA test to determine paternity, Scotsman.com reported Monday.
"He most definitely has a real eye for the ladies. He doesn't need any encouragement. But there is a bit of paternity battle involving him at the moment," Williamson said of Socks.
Williamson said she put Socks together with three potential mates, but he instead chose to swim across a loch to mate with a female named Kimberly, who had been paired together with a different stud.
Williamson said she is now trying to determine whether Kimberly's foal, Scamp, is Socks' son. She said the young pony would be worth a lot more money if he was fathered by the celebrity animal.

Endangered Mammals - Bison
herd park meat animals
Sixty million bison (see Figure 7.11)—or buffalo—once roamed the grasslands of America. Historical accounts describe herds stretching as far as the eye could see. Although Native Americans hunted bison, it was not until European settlers came with firearms that their numbers fell drastically. Many people shot the animals for fun, while others sold the hides. Bison numbers were eventually reduced to fewer than 1,000. Today they are found in the Great Plains from Mexico to Canada.
The bison is the largest terrestrial animal in North America. It has short, pointed horns and a hump over the front shoulders. The head, neck, and front parts of the body are covered by a thick, dark coat of long, curly hair; the rear has shorter, lighter hair. Adult males weigh as much as 1,800 to 2,400 pounds; females are smaller. Adult males also have black "beards" about a foot long. Bison are social animals and travel in herds. Considering their size and weight, bison are remarkably light on their hooves—unlike cattle, they love to run and are surprisingly fast. Bison were central to the existence of Plains Native Americans, who used them for food and made clothing from their hides and tools from their bones. The dried dung, called buffalo chips, was used for fuel.
Bison first received protection from the U.S. government in 1872, with the establishment of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and Montana. However, the welfare of the small herd of bison in the park was largely ignored until 1901, when it was discovered that only twenty-five individuals remained. The herd was restored to 1,000 by 1930 with bison imported from the Great Plains. As the Yellowstone herd multiplied, the park service shot animals to keep the population under control. This practice was unnecessary, however, because harsh winters caused the herd to dwindle naturally. The park service stopped shooting bison in the 1960s, and by 1994 the population of the Yellowstone herd had reached a peak of 4,200 animals. Over 3,000 individuals were documented in April 2002.
However, conflict over bison management continues at the park. Half the Yellowstone bison are carriers of a cattle disease called brucellosis. In domestic cattle, it can cause miscarriage in pregnant cows. Although there is no evidence that the disease can be transmitted from bison to livestock, and the popular elk in the area also carry brucellosis, ranchers are nonetheless wary.
Today some populations of bison are managed as livestock because they have become a food source for humans. Bison are a source of high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol meat. The National Bison Association estimates that 150,000 bison are slaughtered for food each year, producing 7.5 million pounds of meat. Bison meat is not expected to replace beef, but some people think it might become an alternative red meat source. In Bring Back the Buffalo! (Washington, DC: Island Press, 1996), researcher and writer Ernest Callenbach argues that bison will gradually gain support as a food source, as it becomes evident that bison are better adapted to grasslands and require much less human management than cattle. There are even bison ranchers abroad, including in Canada, Southern France, Switzerland, and Belgium.
By the end of the twentieth century, the National Bison Association reported a total of over 350,000 bison in the 48 continental United States, Alaska, and Canada—344,000 bison were privately owned, and 13,000 lived in public herds. An additional 1,000 lived in zoos or outside of the United States and Canada.

what to do with carrot greens?
Please help! Our good vegetable shop has started selling carrots with the green ferny tops still on. The carrots seem to stay fresh longer, even if you cut the tops off, than the ones that come "shorn." My parakeet loves the raw tops, but surely there's a way to use them for food? I know they're edible but they're not v. attractive as is. Any ideas? ??? Thanks!
carrot greens taste like turbo charged parsley, but a bit spicier. maybe try out using them where you would use parsley or other herbs, so... you could chop them up, and try putting them in things like veggie soups, in vinegarette dressings and mayos, or try them finely chopped on mixed veggie salads, or to add a herby kick to home made nut or lentil burgers, etc. i think they'd go well with garlicy and lemony flavours too. or add the tops to the mix when making veggie juices in a juicer. i have to admit i haven't tried these myself, but now i feel the urge to go and buy carrots with the tops on and give it a try, sounds like fun!
Since I lots of green (like the turnip greens I had with dinner today) I would
bet you could steam them very quickly (maybe 60 seconds or 90 seconds) and then
put a simple salad dressing on them (or just vinegar). Also, other ideas like
put them in soup or chop them up very fine and add them to salad sounds good
to me.

KAMLOOPS – Once the environmental application for the proposed Ajax Mine is submitted later this summer the city plans on seeking an independent review of the proposal, but it is unclear just how that review will be paid for.
Staff is asking council for an additional $300,000 to hire SLR Consulting, a firm not believed to have any direct ties to KGHM, to conduct an independent review of Ajax. In a report to council staff suggests two options for funding the review. The first model asks KGHM to provide the city with an agreed-upon level of funding with the city providing the remainder and the second option would have the city cover the full amount and seek grants to cover the expense.
In the first option KGHM would be providing the city with financial support to conduct the external independent review of its own application. The company says while it is open to the idea, it has not been formally requested to provide any funding.
"We see value in the city's pursuit of an independent third-party assessment of the Ajax EA (environmental assessment) application. Such reviews have the potential to bring Kamloops residents clarity and comfort about the science behind the Ajax Project," KGHM spokesperson Robert Koopmans says. "We support the idea of proponents providing communities with capacity funding as part of the environmental assessment process.... KGHM will wait for city council to have its discussions. The city has not yet made a request for funding."
Koopmans says the company is still on track to submit its application by the end of the summer. Once the application is submitted the province has 30 days to decide whether more information is needed or if it can move on to the 180-day application review stage, which includes another public comment period.
The city has little say in whether the project is approved but has been involved in the working group providing input on the application requirements. The city approved $50,000 for consulting fees in 2012, about half of which was used to review the original project description and provide input on the applicaiton information requirements document.
Council promised to have staff organize a review of the project once the application is formally submitted and then host public information sessions to help the community better understand what the application specifically says. KGHM Ajax Mine has also promised to provide a website summarizing the documentation in 'plain language.'
The city has raised concerns around a number of issues to do with the proposed mine, which is set to be located on the southwest edge of Kamloops, including concerns of dust, noise and vibration as well as the aesthetics of the city in general. Concerns around the impact on city infrastructure, including ground water, the impact of hauling trucks to traffic and amounts of solid waste the mine will create have also been raised. There have also been questions around growth and sustainability within Kamloops and whether the mine project interferes with the city's sustainability and airshed plans.
Opponents of the mine recently concluded an Indiegogo campaign to raise money for its own independent review as well.

Coaching veteran now in charge of Xtreme
Thursday, Jun 05, 2014 06:00 am
There will be a new face behind the bench for the Airdrie Xtreme when the 2014/15 Alberta Major Bantam Hockey League (AMBHL) season gets underway in September.
However, the new head coach for the AMBHL team is not a stranger to the world of hockey.
Calgary�s Dan Olsen has been involved in the sport for 40 years, and has spent the last 25 years as a coach in various leagues, including a stint in Germany in the late 1990s and three years in the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) with the now defunct Crowsnest Pass Timberwolves.
�I�ve been involved with the Calgary Buffalos midget program for the last three years, but I was really interested in getting back to a head coaching role in this league for the last couple of years,� Olsen said. �I actually didn�t know that this job in Airdrie was available, as I was looking at being a coach with the Rocky View Raiders program.�
�I found out that this position was open in Airdrie, and I expressed my interest in it,� he added. �I did the interview and found out that I had the job in the middle of May, and I was pretty excited when I got that offer to be the head coach.�
Olsen, who will be taking over from the departing Josh Zimmer, has had a couple of meetings with the Xtreme staff already, ahead of the new season, but his first look at any prospective players won�t be until the team�s training camp from Aug. 29 to Sept. 1.
�I�m starting work on my plans for how I will be having our practices and things like that, but I haven�t really done anything when it comes to the players that will be on the team,� Olsen said. �The league doesn�t like teams making their decisions until the training camp happens, and I think that�s fair, because you want to give everyone a fair shot.�
In addition to his strong coaching resume, Olsen, who played with the Western Hockey League�s Medicine Hat Tigers from 1978 to 1981, also comes from a hockey family.
His younger brother Darryl played four seasons of college hockey south of the border for the Northern Michigan Wildcats in the late 1980s, while his nephew Dylan is currently a member of the National Hockey League�s (NHL) Florida Panthers.
�We�ve all gone our different paths in the world of hockey, and I�ve coached players who have gone on to the Western Hockey League (WHL) or the college ranks, so it�s been interesting to watch those guys all develop,� Olsen said.
�For me, that�s why I keep doing this after all of these years,� he added.
�To see these players develop and to help them with that is something that I really enjoy, especially with the kids who play on teams like the Xtreme, as it�s a big year for them with the WHL Draft.�
When Olsen was asked what style of hockey fans could expect to see at the Ron Ebbesen Arena this winter, he says those in attendance can expect to see some fast-moving action.
�For the kids that are playing at this age, it�s important for their development that they aren�t standing around at all times,� Olsen added. �I like to have teams that play at a high tempo that pressures the opponent and passes the puck quickly, so I think you can expect that with the Xtreme once we get the final roster set.�

Washington Nationals outfield sensation Bryce Harper would rather play than take the day off.
Mired in a 0-for-18 slump at the plate, Nats manager Davey Johnson told Harper he would be benched Saturday so that he can rest his body after returning from the disabled list Monday.
Harper texted him a tongue-in-cheek message Friday night that read: "Play me or trade."
Johnson chatted with Harper Saturday morning to see where the outfielders head was at.
"I explained to him the body language I see if someone is mentally beat up or tired physically," Johnson told the Washington Post.
"I said, 'I can't imagine you ever being either one of those.' But my job when that happens is the best way I know to rest them up and sit them next to me... And so since trading is out of the question, I guess Im going to play him," smiled Johnson
Harper explained why he wanted to continue playing despite the slump.
"I just went in and told him I want to play," he said. "And we talked a little bit and he put me back in the lineup. Happy to be back in there."
The Los Angeles Dodgers bolstered their starting pitching staff on Saturday night with the acquisition of right-hander Ricky Nolasco in a trade with the Miami Marlins.
In addition to Nolasco, the Dodgers also received the Marlins' No. 96 international signing slot worth $197,000. Going the other way is minor league pitching prospects Steve Ames, Josh Wall and Angel Sanchez.
Nolasco, a southern California native who is the Marlins' career leader in wins, was elated to be going home.
"I'm definitely excited," Nolasco told MLB.com. "It's L.A., the team that I grew up going to the games as a kid and stuff. It's kind of surreal now, until I'm actually there. It will take time to sink in, but I'm definitely excited. My whole family couldn't be happier. I'll try to blend in as quickly as I can."
Nolasco, who also was being pursued by the San Francisco Giants, becomes a free agent after the season.
He is in the final year of a three-year, $26.5 million contract and is making $11.5 million this season.
Add former Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones to the long list of umpire Angel Hernandez's critics.
Jones, who retired at the end of last season, sent out a series of tweets Friday that were critical of the job Hernandez is doing.
"Didn't take Angel long to screw up the strike zone, did it??? Hang with em, Simba!!!" Jones wrote early during the Braves' 5-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Jones then took a stand, promising to boycott any game umpired by Hernandez.
"I will not watch a game, any game, officiated by Angel Hernandez! His incompetence amazes me and I'm tired of MLB doing squat about it! Nite."
On May 8, Hernandez ruled a ninth inning ball a double by As second baseman Adam Rosales.
Video replays showed the ball to be a home run after it appeared to hit the railing above the yellow line, which separates the balls in play and home runs.
The call of double was upheld upon video review, eventually robbing the Athletics of a game-tying run in their 4-3 loss to the Cleveland Indians.
St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, who had the day off Saturday against the Miami Marlins, left the ballpark late in the game to have his right knee checked.
Team doctors wanted to take a look at the National League batting leader to determine the cause of soreness that started late Friday.
"We just want to rule things out and get a good look at it," Cards manager Mike Matheny told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Molina had the same knee surgically repaired in 2007.
Molina, who is batting .346 with six home runs and 45 RBIs, is expected to get a few days off to rest the ailing knee.
The Philadelphia Phillies placed first-baseman Ryan Howard on the 15-day disabled list due to knee inflammation The New York Yankees activated infielder Eduardo Nunez from the 60-day disabled list Saturday and placed right-hander David Phelps on the 15-day DL with a right forearm sprain ... The Cleveland Indians recalled right-handed pitcher Carlos Carrasco from Triple-A and optioned right-hander Joe Martinez to Columbus.

Air traffic controllers call press conference
Jerome Reynolds, Staff Reporter
The Jamaica Air Traffic Controllers Association has called a press conference for 9:30 this morning.
It follows a Supreme Court order barring them from further protest action.
The air traffic controllers went on a sick out on Saturday to press their employer, the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority, for a wage increase.
The sick out by the controllers affected flights for at least one air carrier.
A senior official at the Ministry of Labour says the court's ruling has been formally communicated to the executive of the Air Traffic Controllers' Association of Jamaica, which represented about 94 per cent of the industry.
While noting that the labour ministry is ready to call reconciliation talks, the official said it is watching to see what will happen this morning before it acts any further.
Up to last night, we were unable to reach association president Kurt Solomon or any member of the executive for a comment on the Supreme Court order.
Air traffic controllers have maintained that they will not accept a wage freeze.
Director-General of the JCAA, Lieutenant Colonel Oscar Derby says the agency remains open for dialogue on the wage claim.
Lieutenant Colonel Derby says the agency has to operate within the government's wage restraint for the public sector.
However, he says the agency is prepared to offer non-cash alternatives.
