Did you know that September is National Biscuit Month? Well it is and our friends at White Lily Flour are celebrating by sharing this amazing recipe for White Chocolate Raspberry Biscuit Bread Pudding and an awesome giveaway! To start, this incredible recipe is probably one of my most favorite bread pudding recipes ever. It's great to use up leftover biscuits, but who has leftover biscuits?? So, I just made some for the recipe. It is totally worth the effort. I promise. The biscuits lend an amazing flavor and texture to the dish. It is truly one of my new favorite desserts. Next, one lucky Southern Bite reader will win a Biscuit Essentials Kit that includes a Save the Biscuit tote bag, biscuit cutter, pastry blender, a bag of White Lily self-rising flour, White Lily tea towel, flour sifter, and a Save the Biscuit t-shirt.
You know, folks seem to be intimidated by making homemade biscuits. And honestly, there are some great ready-made and frozen options out there. But for me there is nothing like setting a big ol' plate of fresh, homemade biscuits down on the table in front of your family. All it takes is some courage and a great recipe and you can serve your family the same way. White Lily has a wealth of great biscuits recipes on their site. I love their White Lily Light and Fluffy Biscuits, and their White Lily Cream Biscuits, but my most favorite are the Touch of Grace Biscuits. They take a bit more time and skill, but the light and fluffy texture sure is worth it. Y'all join us in celebrating National Biscuit Month and help us Save the Biscuit!

Review: Strawberry
Posted: May 15, 2003 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: May 07, 2003 at 11:49 AM)We're not quite sure what Mercury is going for with this flavor. The strawberry flavor is decent (although artificial tasting like most strawberry flavors are), but the product is extremely sweet tasting. We see this product as having a flavor that is more likely geared towards women. In addition, the label is rather hard to read as it is rather monochrome.

Baldwin coach Dexter Copeland is very familiar with Peach County; his Braves have been in the same region as the Trojans the past two years.
He also knows quite a bit about Burke County, which takes on Peach County today in the Class AAA championship game at the Georgia Dome.
Copeland's Baldwin team was the only team to play both teams this season. Baldwin lost 31-14 to Burke County to open the season.
His Braves lost 17-14 to Peach County in the regular-season finale.
That loss meant the Braves missed out on the region title and settled for the region's second seed.
Baldwin lost to Monroe in the first round of the playoffs.
"It should be a very even football game; they're both very well-coached teams," Copeland said of the title game. "Defensively, they're both very aggressive. Burke is bigger, but Peach has more speed. I really think the team that makes the last mistake is going to lose that game. Both teams are going to make some mistakes, but the team that makes the last mistake at the wrong time is going to lose.
"It would be hard to have two teams more evenly matched than those two."
Burke County and Peach County are both 13-1 entering the title game.
Last year, both teams beat Copeland's Baldwin team as well, and Burke County's 21-20 win ended Baldwin's season in the second round of the playoffs.
"We have seen them enough the past two years," Copeland said with a laugh.
"I knew (after the season opener) that Burke was going to make it. (Burke County head coach Eric Parker) told me last year, that (this) year was going to be their year. They were really shooting for big things this year."
Burke County has never won a state title, but Peach County is gunning for its fourth title and its second in three years.
"I want Peach to win, of course, because it's our region," Copeland said. "It's two good football teams and two great coaches, and I'm friends with both of them. It's going to be a good game; I just wish our team was playing in it."

The Golf-Bidder service front end and ordering were good, with competitive pricing, however, the delivery side of the order, serviced by UPS, was dreadful. They broke two appointments to deliver and seemed unable to correct matters with any urgency. The product is okay; I bought it as brand new but there are a few small marks on the item. Nothing major but it looks like it's been used as a trial club in a shop for a while, so should've been rated a 9 not a 10 in the GolfBidder assessment of… Read Full Review

Bought the putter above and as always the item was excellent. My only gripe was that there were two to choose from and the representative couldn't tell me the difference and insisted I email a request. No problem with that in itself except that it took 24 hours to get a response despite his assurance it would be quick. Long before this I had worked it out from the photo's and made the purchase. This could have been sorted out by him calling the warehouse or transferring me which he refused to… Read Full Review

Press Pass
The wet weather that's blanketed the area for the past week has affected nearly everyone in some way or another.
One group of people most affected by inclement weather are high school athletic directors.
Rain can cause havoc to an athletic director's schedule. Rescheduling one game means contacting players, coaches, officials, bus drivers, game managers, score keepers and list of others.
So when I emailed several of our local ADs yesterday I wasn't sure if any would have time to respond.
But five of them took some time from their busy schedules to write back or call and tell me how the rain has impacted them and how they are handling it.
"We have done a good job of utilizing our practice fields and preserving our game fields for game days," said Lehighton AD Kyle Spotts, whose football team hosts Tamaqua Friday night. "The field workers have done a tremendous job prior to these storms and for them to be holding up this well is a testament to their work."
Area playing fields vary from wet to saturated to puddled as the the rain hasn't let up since Monday. Nearly all the ADs pointed out that grounds crews haven't been able to mow or line fields during the week.
"We need a dry day so we can get out and cut," said Northwestern athletic director Jason Zimmerman.
The weather impacts practice schedules as well as game schedules. At schools like Northwestern and Tamaqua, where there are three available gyms, teams can usually find space inside. At Northern Lehigh, AD Bryan Geist always has contingency plans in place for practices to move indoors. At Lehighton, a school with six fall sports teams, space is at a premium.
"Trying to get all of the fall programs to practice inside with only two facilities is not the easiest thing to accomplish," Spotts said.
Most of them agree that last spring was much worse, but this fall is just beginning. The fact that it is early in the season makes it easier to reschedule games.
"If it had to happen," Zimmerman said. "This is the week for it to happen."
"It's better early in the season," Geist said. "So you don't feel like you're up against a wall."
Compounding problems this week was a forecast that showed no mercy. Games had to be moved to next week.
"You don't want to schedule a game and then have to reschedule it again tomorrow," Geist said.
To figure out how to reshuffle their schedules, most athletic directors become amateur meteorologists.
"I am constantly on different websites and the weather channel and on three different apps on my phone," said Tamaqua AD Mike Hromyak "Honestly, ADs need to know the weather in order to ensure safe travels and safe playing conditions. It is challenging. If you study the forecasts from all of them, you can sometimes combine them and make your own forecast."
Zimmerman uses all the apps and media outlets as well. He also doesn't hesitate to shoot an email to WFMZ weather man Ed Hannah, who is happy to supply updates.
While some football games have been postponed to Saturday, Zimmerman said the Tigers will play their game Friday night at Saucon Valley and Geist plans to host Wilson as scheduled Friday in Slatington.
Lehighton and Tamaqua did not announce any changes as of Thursday evening.
"We are going to make a decision on the condition of the field [Friday] and go from there," said Spotts.
Lehighton, which plays again Thursday against Panther Valley, could face a week of short rest. The Panthers, who travel to Schuylkill Valley tonight, could have the same problem.
"Without the rain we are already looking at a short week," said Panther Valley AD Kristin Black.
The Panthers' home field will be used by Jim Thorpe this week. The Olympians host Line Mountain in Lansford, scheduled for Friday night.
"Panther Valleys football field drains very well," said Black. "However it had been raining since Monday so our custodians were not able to cut or line the field. Evaluation of the field will be made after the rain stops."
All the area athletic directors hope that time comes soon.

"Redeclaring" exposes the implementation details (in the form of that specific exception) of the underlying module to the modules that should not be otherwise even aware of that module. As the result, when that signature changes (a new exception is added) - you have a domino effect.
So full policy is as follow - if you met checked exception:
- if you can handle it "to the point", handle it
- if exception is appropriate (has sense as part of the method contract) do not catch it, but redeclare it (really, it should be declared already)
- if it represents implementation detail or pure technicality - wrap in RTE and re-throw
Here's link to the famous interview with Anders Hejlsberg (chief architect of C#) where the subject is discussed in more detail (specifically, re-throwing issues, etc.). You probably have seen it, but just in case:

Where do you think the money winds up when a gift certificate goes unredeemed? You probably assume that it's a windfall for the store that collected the cash and never had to deliver anything. But that's not supposed to be the case. After a waiting period--usually three to five years--the retailer is supposed to give the unspent money to the state, which is supposed to find the owner and give back the cash.
Yeah. That's gonna happen.
Surprisingly, though, at least sometimes it does happen. Even better, givebacks are becoming more common as states make it easier to search for...

No current Lehigh Valley Conference quarterback has spent more time as a varsity starter than Parkland senior Tim Baranek.
All that time behind center has taught him to shrug off changes.
Playing under a third offensive coordinator and in a third system in three years, Baranek has developed into a player opponents focus on this season. He is one of three quarterbacks to rank among the LVC's top 10 rushers and passers.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Friends Of Alouette International, Pennington, NJ, USA
This nonsectarian, local and directly giving charity is one of a kind. Conceived by Ms. Browne when she wanted to help in the most maximally efficient way, it has grown over 4 years to include very deducated volunteers of all races.
First of all, the concept of direct giving has been totally followed by the organization. All travellers to the Philipiines go there using their own funds for fares, and help marsha actuallly buy distribute, and meet the beneficiaries as well as the actual hands on organization A totally arms length and professional way of handling the finances, the programs and the planning of the giving away, mostly of goods that the founder and the organization directly buy- are done. Because results have produced kind adults from children that have been helped and cared for because the inspiration and the mentor comes every year int he form of the teacher and philantorpist founder, the ideal identification, and the role model effect on the children, are indeed tremendous. Each penny is accounted for, and no pressure is exerted on any of the donorswho are work for the organization, mostly, to be happy themselves.
Money has not come easy, and yet when pictures are shown every year of how the problems are met, and followed up, and each recipient is known by name almost always to the donors- such is personal, constructive, and very effective.
With a little money that is obtained from golf events, speeches to the donors, dinners at nice homes- the happy smiles of children as well as the growing gratitude of those ethnic, barefoot, and simple students- come very very appreciated by all the donors. I believ that the FOA is my favorite charity.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
The thanks that the school children give, each trying to speak English while in their native costume, and thanking us for the bookbags, the refrigerator,t he books, pens and supplies. They sing and dance, and they show what they did with the gifts we give them, up in the mountains of bontoc or the squatter shaties of Manila, or int he porr sections of NJ and flood stricken areas of New Orleans.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
expand it to be a public chartiy.

Kinda. Except this one stars a guy with a big ol helmet and a big ol gun running around with a psychic chick fighting guys doing "Matrix" bullet-time drugs in the future. And it's set in a building. So essentially, "Die Hard in a Building". With, er, Judge Dredd, played by Karl Urban, and Olivia Thirlby as psychic Judge Cassandra Anderson. And the script is by one Alex Garland, of "Sunshine" and "28 Days Later" fame. So could it really be THAT bad?
Apparently the answer is Yes.
Or at least, that's the word from those who have read a leaked copy of the script as written by Garland. IO9 has a full rundown of all the places where a review of the script has surfaced so far, and the common thread seems to be that Garland and 2000 A.D.'s version of "Dredd" is too small and too contained, which certainly would set it apart from the big-budget Hollywood version starring Sylvester Stallone. And did I mention everyone seems to agree that the scope of the film is too small for a Judge Dredd movie?
Here's an excerpt from I09's review that gets to the heart of the matter:
What's the script about? In a nutshell, to quote The Middleman, it's "Die Hard in a building." Judge Dredd and a novice judge with elite psi-skills but low judge aptitude scores, Cassandra Anderson, get trapped in a Mega-City block run by an evil crime lord named Ma-Ma. She's the source of a hot new drug called Slo-Mo that — you guessed it — makes everything look like it's happening in slow-motion. (Perfect excuse for some "bullet time" sequences from the POV of someone on the drug.) Judges Dredd and Anderson have to fight their way out of the building, with one of Ma-Ma's henchmen whom they've arrested. By all accounts, it's a very generic action movie.
Apparently a LOT of people has read the script, which makes you wonder if 2000 A.D., the people producing the reboot, purposefully leaked it to get fan reactions. Or if not, then they're probably not very happy right now. Granted, there are a couple of positive reviews, but they're in the minority, with most reviews ranging from negative to downright angry.
Just to balance things out, here's a positive review:
It's very much in the 'high-octane', action set-piece mold. If you've heard comments to the effect that it's like Die Hard, I would say that's pretty accurate. Dredd remains, as you would expect, emotionless, hard as fuck and badass all the way through with Anderson providing the 'in' for the audience. Yes, she's a Judge but it's her first night on the job and it's all a bit overwhelming and exciting… Just to be clear; this script is a winner. If the director is good, this film will be fantastic.
The director in question is one Pete Travis, who has directed action/thrillers "Vantage Point" and "Endgame", so Dredd's reboot certainly isn't coming to you under the direction of a novice, so that should help.
NOTE: The link to IO9 above also features a couple of MAJOR SPOILERS from the script/movie, most involving Judge Anderson (played by Thirlby, below) so I would not click to read it if you wish to know nothing beyond the general plot outline ("Die Hard in a Building", etc.). You have been warned.

On the day your front page announced that the UK is back into recession (Just like 1975, 26 April), on page 17 you covered a report from the Royal Society which says high consumption in rich countries needs to be reduced rapidly to avoid "a downward spiral of economic and environmental ills" (Report, 26 April).
Whether it is called "double-dip recession, "stagnation" or "flat-lining" (as Ed Balls puts it – accompanied by a level movement of his hands), it is, in effect, part of the answer to reducing the consumption levels which our scientists call for.
We are in a time of zero economic growth. Where are the economists and politicians prepared to welcome this? Where are the thinkers and doers that recognise that an end to economic growth, with a redistribution of wealth, is an essential part of preparing for the climate problems of global warming and the transport problems of peak oil?

• Will Hutton (Kamikaze chancellor, 26 April) is right about the economic effects of the austerity programme but wrong to assume Cameron and Osborne have "a primitive view about what makes capitalism tick".
They understand exactly what they are doing. They have their own hidden agenda: reduce benefits, undermine the already inadequate social security net and price the unemployed into work. If the unemployed do not take the jobs, send them up north, and keep London and the south-east for the non-tax-paying, non-domiciled rich.
Their agenda is vicious, uncaring and immoral, but if we carry on laying down they will carry on walking all over us.
Michael Gold
• I enjoyed Will Hutton's piece but he seems to miss a fundamental point. The swingeing cuts to public services and to welfare, which self-evidently undermine a UK economic recovery, are driven by a rightwing "small state" ideology rather than economic necessity. The endlessly trumpeted need to reduce the UK's structural deficit, with which Hutton rightly finds fault, seems to be a deliberate cover for this policy. It saddens me that the general public, misled by much of the media, have failed to see through this lie.
The frequent ministerial chorus of "We have to clear up the economic mess left to us by Labour" (ignoring the fact of a global banking crisis in 2008) whenever the next turn of the screw is announced, reminds me of the endlessly repeated lies by Blair, Straw and their acolytes about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, used to soften up the British public in the run-up to the 2003 Iraq war. Different politicians, different topic, same technique to manipulate us all.

Get To Know More About BBQ Rotisserie Motor
Kabobmasters.com supplies BBQ Rotisserie Motor in vivid designs and shapes. The BBQ Motor can be operated through various means.
March 9, 2014 (Newswire.com) -
A new electrical instrument for cooking a food over the grill or for rotating a spit has been introduced, which is named as BBQ Rotisserie Motor. The user can either fix the motor to the grill edges or can use it independently. A person can also integrate it into the grill workings or workings of some other cooking appliance. Kabobmasters.com supplies rotisserie motor in vivid designs and some BBQ Motors of this company have a tight plastic or rubber belts that enables smooth rotation of the spit. The motors can get power through standard batteries, electrical outlet or from rechargeable batteries.
Mostly, the BBQ Rotisserie Motor comprise of a small hexagonal or squared socket. The spit's end is inserted in this socket, so that rotation can be done. Through several methods, the Rotisserie Motor's strength can be determined. Some motors show the weighing capacity in HP, while some show the weight amount of the food that is being cooked. Usually, those motors are more preferred that show the total weight of the food that the user is going to cook.
In some BBQs, the Rotisserie motors come in the form of an optional accessory. In such cases, this motor is generally a tiny box, which can be attached to the exterior casing of a BBQ. The wall of the BBQ has a hole. Through this hole the spit's end and the motor can be attached together. Some BBQs have rotisserie motors built within them. Kabobmasters.com offers both the types of rotisserie motors.
Depending upon the purpose for which the motor is being used and the motor design, a person can run them by rechargeable or replaceable batteries. Some also have a regular electric plug, which can be operated through an electrical outlet. While some motors can also be directly connected to the main power source through its wiring connection, just like the home switches are connected directly to the main electrical source.

We are now in the final hours before the Eclipse Awards are presented and the champions are crowned.This week, myself and the "Dark Horse," Chris Sorenson will be discussing the male and female turf divisions, older male and older female divisions, and of course, we'll be crowning our Horse of The Year. Let's get started with the turf divisions.
Scott Dick: Dark Horse, it's been awhile since we've done this! How's the Co-host healing after surgery?
Chris Sorenson: The knee is responding well! I had to get some stuff cleaned up from an injury sustained 20 years ago. However, I'll be ready to go for Hawthorne's spring meet and the Derby trail!
SD: Glad to hear you're recovering like a champion. Let's start with the Male Turf Division. This really seems to be a two horse race between Acclamation and Cape Blanco. Can you make a case for any other horse in this division?
CS: No, you really cannot. And I already know who gets my vote.
SD: Acclamation was near perfect this year. He earned 3 grade I victories, 2 on grass and 1 on a synthetic surface. His only bad race was on a sloppy Charlestown dirt surface. He was ultra-consistent, but, he never raced on grass outside of California and he did not compete in the Breeders' Cup. Does that hurt Acclamation's chances to win this award?
CS: Yes, Acclamation had a great campaign for sure, I mean he got off to a bit of a rough start but once he kicked it in gear he didn't lose. Again though, he didn't leave California to race on the turf and perhaps missed out on competing against some other world-class contenders.
SD: Cape Blanco was unbeatable while racing in the good ole USA. He dominated his competition in the grade I Arlington Million. He dazzled in the Man O' War Stakes. He showed his heart in the grade I Joe Hirsch Turf Classic, a race in which his year would end with injury. Is Cape Blanco a slam dunk in this division? We both saw how impressive he was in person. Can you honestly see Acclamation getting the nod over Cape Blanco?
CS: No, I really cannot. Again, look at the competition that these horses have faced. Acclamation did defeat Game On Dude on the Polytrack (which is not turf) and a favored Caracortado, sure, but Cape Blanco beat some of the best in the entire world including Winchester, Gio Ponti, (twice), Dean's Kitten (twice), Mission Approved (twice), and some of the other best European talent. He even finished fourth in the Dubai World Cup and fourth in a group 1 stakes at Longchamp.
SD: You make a great point, Chris. Caracortado could be the best turf horse Acclamation has defeated and as much as I love "Scarface" he's just not on the level of Gio Ponti. The level of competition Acclamation has faced will be the reason he does not win this award, in my opinion. So Chris, Cape Blanco is your Eclipse Award winner for top Male Turf horse?
CS: Without a doubt. Cape Blanco.
SD: I agree. Cape Blanco is the Eclipse Award winner.
SD: Now for the ladies. The filly and mare turf division is pretty wide open once you get past Stacelita. Let's start with the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf Champion, can Perfect Shirl claim ownership to this award?
CS: Wow. Well I think a Breeders' Cup win does go a long way. Those folks that might look at the entire body of work, like I normally do, might look elsewhere. She even started off the year with a pair of Allowance/OC races, which she didn't even win. However, in the last few races she definitely outran her odds in both the Canadian Stakes and the Breeders' Cup. Brian Zipse must have known something because he called her victory.
SD: Dubawi Heights is a very interesting filly. She had an amazing year scoring wins in the grade I Gamely and grade I Yellow Ribbon Stakes. She ran her guts out in defeat in the Beverly D Stakes at Arlington Park, where she was beaten by the aforementioned Stacelita. She set the pace, before tiring in the Breeders' Cup. Dubawi Heights boast an impressive record of 4 wins in 6 starts in 2011, 3 of those wins in graded stakes company. What do you think about Simon Callaghan's filly?
CS: I was very happy to have had the chance to see Dubawi Heights in the Beverly D. last summer. In fact, if she could have beaten Stacelita, she would have had a 5-win streak going into the Breeders' Cup. And I don't necessarily fault her for her 6th place finish in the big race either. She set the pace for a while and did fade but not by all that much when the cavalry came charging. She's a very good horse and a worthy contender.
SD: Winter Memories gave us some spectacular performances in 2011. Winter Memories was sparkling in overcoming a tough trip in the grade I Garden City Stakes. She also won the grade II Lake George and the grade II Sands Point Stakes. Did you think the 3-year-old gray daughter of El Prado had any chance of scoring this award?
CS: OK, so I know Winter Memories had a fantastic 3-year-old campaign winning four times. I can't put my finger on it, but her races just didn't stand out in my mind. I for some reason just cannot explain why. It might be because of the disappointing performance in the QEII at Keeneland. Or maybe it's because her competition wasn't as tough as some of the other contenders in this division.
SD: Stacelita only raced 4 times this year in America, but, boy did she do some running. Stacelita ran a tough luck third against the boys in the United Nations at Monmouth Park. She embarrassed a classy field in the Beverly D, and she romped in the grade I Flower Bowl in New York. In the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf she had a NIGHTMARE trip, finishing a disappointing 10th. Can you forgive her Breeders' Cup race?
CS: Well certainly you could draw a line through that race. Rumor had it that something was wrong with her left eye and had to wear a clear-full cup in the Breeders' Cup. So if she was totally healthy who knows what could have happened. However, I think she still ran a decent race and just got caught up against the hedges.
SD: Who is your Eclipse Award winner in the Filly and Mare turf division?
CS: Well, I will go against the grain on this one and choose Dubawi Heights, although I'm certain Stacelita gets the award.
SD: Ugh, I guess great minds think alike. I was hoping to have a shocking selection in this category, but, you stole my thunder, Dark Horse! I'm going for Dubawi Heights also!
SD: We really don't need to spend much time in the Older female division, Havre De Grace or Blind Luck? Let's just make it simple
SD: I agree, Havre De Grace gets it this year, but, Blind Luck is still a champion in my eyes!
SD: The older male division is more wide open in my mind than most people think. Tizway was a horse on a mission in the summer, winning back to back grade I's with scores in the Met Mile and the Whitney Handicap. He was everyone's "it" horse coming into the Breeders' Cup before suffering an injury that would knock him out of the biggest race of the year. What is your opinion on Tizway?
CS: It's a shame that Tizway had such a short run this year. What stands out in my mind was his performance and victory in the Whitney where he sat just off the pace and took over in the stretch. What a classic performance!
SD: Game On Dude was just that, GAME ON! He won two grade I's, The Santa Anita handicap and the Goodwood Stakes. Game On Dude was, well, game as hell in the Breeders' Cup Classic, Game on Dude set all the fractions, the Dude had the lead coming into the stretch, he got a little tired, but he still fought hard, while being passed in the final furlong by the closing kick of Drosselmeyer. How good is Game On Dude?
CS: Game on Dude had quite the campaign. He only finished off the board once and that was in the Pacific Classic, losing to Acclamation. Otherwise he finished in the money each race. The performance in the Breeders' Cup was especially impressive only losing out at the last moment to Drosselmeyer. I'll never forget the 14-1 victory in the ping-pong battle with Twirling Candy and Setsuko.
SD: We've already discussed Acclamation's accomplishments. So Chris, who is your Eclipse Award winner for older male, Acclamation, Game On Dude, or Tizway?
CS: Game On Dude, Duuuuuude.
SD: I will politely disagree with you. I love Tizway for this award, but, I would love to have a write in voten for Wise Dan. Wise Dan was awesome in the latter part of 2011. He obliterated a grade I field in the Clark Handicap at Churchill Downs. He won on the turf in the grade II Firecracker Handicap. He scored wins on synthetic surfaces in the grade II Fayette Stakes at Keeneland and the Presque Isle Mile Stakes at Presque Isle.
SD: Now that we've discussed all the accomplishments of all the contenders, we still don't know who the finalist will be for Horse of the Year. We won't know till Monday Night. So Chris, give me YOUR finalist for Horse Of The Year and your Horse of the Year?
CS: Well, for Horse of the Year my finalists would be Havre de Grace, Game on Dude, and Caleb's Posse.
SD: Your Horse of the Year is?
CS: Havre De Grace!
SD: I honestly cannot narrow my finalist down to three, I'm not even going to try. But, Havre De Grace is my Horse Of The Year as well.

IRVING, TEXAS — Eight executives at Hostess Brands Inc. who received pay raises of up to 80% in July 2011 have agreed to cut their annual salaries, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Four of the company's top executives — Gary Wandschneider, head of operations; John Stewart, chief financial officer; David Loeser, head of human resources; and Richard Seban, head of sales — have agreed to cut their annual salaries to $1 until the company emerges from bankruptcy or Dec. 31, whichever comes first, while four other executives volunteered to go back to the same salaries they had before the pay raise.
None of the executives is being asked to return any money.
Gregory F. Rayburn, who took over as president and chief executive officer of Hostess in early March, told The Wall Street Journal that the salary cuts were "the right thing to do." When word of the raises was disclosed by the creditors committee on April 3 it had caused "a high level of internal strife in the organization and certainly external strife," Mr. Rayburn said.
Word of the raises also rankled the Teamsters Union, which represents more than 7,500 route sales representatives, drivers and other employees at Hostess.
"If this is true, Hostess executives have violated their agreement with the Teamsters that all parties, including management, would share equally in concessions that would help keep this company alive," Ken Hall, general secretary-treasurer of the Teamsters Union, said on April 4. "It would be outrageous for the board of directors, which included secured lenders, to approve executive salary increases of up to 300% for a company that has filed for bankruptcy twice in four years."
Hostess is a privately held company based in Irving, Texas. The company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January, nearly three years after its predecessor emerged from bankruptcy proceedings.

It is clearly a labor of love. "My first love has always been the big band, our symphony orchestra," he writes. Seeing it as a follow up to his earlier big band recordings, Really Big from 1960, and Little Man Big Band from 1992, Heath continues his practice of paying homage to people he loves and respects. "Gemini" is for his daughter Roslyn, for example, "Big P" for his brother Percy, "Basic Birks" for Dizzy Gillespie, "Like A Son" for saxophonist Antonio Hart and "Heritage Hum" is for "my people." "'No End' is very special to me," writes Heath, "since it was given to me by my friend, one of the great romantic composers of the bebop era, Kenny Dorham. Jimmy Dorsey who I admired, wrote 'I'm Glad There is You' (which could apply to you who purchased this CD)." Paralleling the titles, the personnel reflects his love and respect for musicians he has worked with over the years, particularly members of the Dizzy Gillespie Allumni All Star Band, along with some of his own students: pianist Jeb Patton, and Hart, who has succeeded him as saxophone professor at Queen's College, CUNY. Overall, the music reflects his love and respect for the jazz tradition as a whole.
This is classic, big band jazz, in the manner of Thad Jones/Mel Lewis or the Gillespie Alumni band. Recently I reviewed Hank and Frank by two other NEA Jazz Masters, Hank Jones (1989) and Frank Wess (2007.) What I wrote there applies to Jimmy Heath. "When asked by a friend what it was like, my immediate response was 'just what you'd expect.' This was not intended as derogatory in any way because what I expect from these artists is classic, sophisticated, smooth, (in the true sense-not smooth jazz!), swinging, straight down the middle jazz from consummate professionals. This is exactly what Hank and Frank deliver. No surprises, no disappointments." And this is what Jimmy Heath delivers. The issue is not innovation but tastefulness, loving craftsmanship, creativity within boundaries, and a passion for the music and its traditions. This is how freshness is brought to classical music, including classic jazz.
For the most part, Heath eschews exotica. At a recent concert I counted sixteen or seventeen instruments shared among Maria Schneider's reed section, for example. By contrast, apart from a few measures on flute, these saxophonists just play saxophones. Heath's arrangements follow the traditional pattern of pitting the sections against each other, leaving plenty of space for the soloists, allowing the rhythm section to support them for long stretches and adding background figures where appropriate. And the soloists respond. Trumpeters Stafford, Jones, Gisbert and Mossman, trombonists Davis, Hampton, Powell, Mosca and Jackson, and all of the reed players, as well as Patton, Washington and Nash, turn in top-flight performances. Guest Lew Tabackin's always expressive flute has four choruses on the waltz, "Gemini." And Heath's own solos are as refreshing as his writing. It is ironic that someone who hung out and practiced with John Coltrane should have retained his own voice, while hundreds of tenor players in New York who never knew Coltrane sound just like him!
Quality big bands are a rare item these days, and quality big band recordings even more so. This one is a total package. Heath's liner notes take us through each piece, there is an excellent interview with him at the NEA Jazz Masters web site (www.nea.gov/national/jazz/heath_ interview.html), and there is a video bio at: /www.iaje.org/bio.asp?ArtistID=67. Every good jazz collection needs some big band examples and this one should be among them.
I asked Jimmy if he thought sales would cover his expenses. "I hope so," he responded. "That's all we need. I just want to get the music out there."

My stepmother swears this really happened: A friend of hers moved years ago to New York City from Kansas, and when he emerged from the escalator at Penn Station onto 34th Street, his sweeping gaze up the majestic canyon of surrounding buildings was interrupted by a cabbie standing at the curb, who said to him, "Hold a lot of hay, wouldn't it?"
That possibly apocryphal story occurred to me as we walked onto the field at the Superdome a couple of hours ago. Attendees really seemed awestruck, as was I, although I was thinking mostly about Brett Favre racing down this field with his helmet in his hand.
Later, we went to the new press level along the roofline, and "vertiginous" doesn't do it justice. It's a long way down the steps to the upper spectator seats and the field below.

Speaking to CNBC-TV18, SBI Chairman Pratip Chaudhuri said his bank has two tonne of gold lying in the gold deposit scheme but is unable to profitably lend it out.
Moneycontrol Bureau
Imagine having two tonnes of gold but very little profit from it! Strange as it may sound, that is the story of State Bank of India's gold deposit scheme. Speaking to CNBC-TV18, SBI Chairman Pratip Chaudhuri said his bank has two tonne of gold lying in the gold deposit scheme but is unable to profitably lend it out.
Recently the government allowed gold exchange traded funds (ETFs) to deposit part of their gold holdings with banks in an effort to manage demand of imported gold. The initiative is one of several announced last week with the goal of minimising gold's impact on India's big current-account deficit.
But Chaudhuri is not too hopeful of the gold ETF being dumped or placed with the PSU major. "I do not understand the logic or rational of giving a tax rate of 10 percent on gold ETF. If today on bank deposit interest, the tax rate is 30 percent, then what is the justification of having a tax rate of 10 percent on gold ETF?," he asks.
Having done that, he says, the government should not complain that people are putting money in gold ETF. He says if the authorities want to promote a market, they want people to bring back their gold to us, there should be an opportunity to do so.
"Now, today if a customer buys gold from the bank, there is no way he or she can return the gold to the bank in case they don't feel like holding their savings in gold. Therefore, a two-way opportunity is very necessary and it is so there in shares, securities and foreign currency. The buy and sell option is very much necessary no matter what is the commodity or product being traded," he told the channel. (Catch the full interview)
The government also hiked the gold import tax to 6 per cent from 4 per cent and eased the terms of gold deposit schemes of banks to encourage individuals to deposit idle gold.
India's current-account deficit rose to 5.4 percent in the third quarter, partly fuelled by high gold imports.
"The advantage will be that a part of the gold lying in stock will be brought into circulation and will partially meet the requirements of the gems and jewellery trade," Finance Ministry secretary Arvind Mayaram told reporters after the announcement. "It is hoped that, consequently, there will be a moderation in the quantity of gold that is imported into the country."

Climate Change Garden
In a twist on turning lemons into lemonade, Mark Diacono comes close to saying that when the world hands us climate change, we should make Chilean guava gin.
In the introduction to his lushly photographed new book, "The Food Lover's Garden: Amazing Edibles You Will Love to Grow and Eat," Diacono writes: "What a sweetly virtuous circle that climate change should allow us the possibility of growing many of the foods we currently import, and that we can take advantage of that shift to help arrest its progress."
Yes, Diacono is telling us to stop worrying and learn to love climate change. And there is a certain Strangelovian logic to it, because if we grow formerly exotic foods such as Carolina allspice, Sichuan pepper and Chilean guava in our own backyards, we will reduce our food carbon footprint by cutting back or eliminating packaging and overseas transportation.
Grow your own global produce
Diacono not only talks the talk, he walks the walk. As head gardener at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage enterprises for many years, he grew edible plants of all sorts and taught others how to take them "from plot to plate" — or as we would say on this side of the pond, from farm to table. Diacono now devotes himself full time to his own Otter Farm in Devon, in southwest England.
Although Diacono's introduction to "The Food Lover's Garden" places gardening in the larger context of climate change, peak oil, peak phosphate and other global concerns, the book itself is not a treatise on food politics or the environment. Rather it is part gardening handbook and part cookbook — a chatty, often cheeky, user-friendly guide to choosing, growing and then cooking your own favorite foods.
Diacono believes that life is too short (and often gardens too small) to plant anything but what you are truly passionate about eating. At the outset, Diacono dismisses the "boring" vegetables that you can get easily and cheaply at any grocery store, such as potatoes and cabbage, and advises us to instead plant the exotic fruits, vegetables, nuts and spices he loves.
While I respectfully disagree with Diacono about potatoes and cabbage being boring, that is actually the point of this book: You read about what excites Diacono, then you decide what turns you on — in the garden and in the kitchen — and plant accordingly.
Let flavor be your guide
"The Food Lover's Garden" starts at the endpoint, with whatever tastes you love, then takes you back to the beginning, to choosing and planting those foods in your garden. Diacono first recommends making a wish list, letting flavor alone be your guide. Then he suggests growing things you can't find in the store, and choosing plants that will provide you with food in every season. Finally, he suggests balancing "certainties" (easy to grow even if you don't have a green thumb or great soil) with "gambles."
Scanning "The Food Lover's Garden" table of contents, I saw that about half of the plants would be bad gambles in the Midwest where I live, and throughout most of the United States. Neither Diacono nor his publisher make mention of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones, but I did a little research and found what I suspected, that many of the plants Diacono raves about will survive only in Zone 8 and higher — the far southern states, and areas moderated by the Pacific in the western states.
Devon, where Diacono lives and farms, has always been known for its mild climate, even in pre-climate change centuries. That's great for him, but his book is a bit of a cruel tease for the rest of us — unless, of course, climate change goes into very high gear in the very near future. But there are still a dozen or more hardy and delicious plants that Diacono recommends, such as sorrel, rhubarb, lovage, nasturtiums, mizuna and asparagus.
And no matter where you live and garden, even if you are only an armchair gardener, this book is a wonderful invitation to live adventurously and expand your gardening, cooking, and eating horizons. At the same time, by growing and eating more local foods, Diacono writes, "you'll be casting your vote for a new way of feeding ourselves and for the future."

Rural Harwood residents keep eyes on water in nearby fields
HARWOOD, N.D. - Residents of rural subdivisions southwest here are keeping an eye on pooling water in nearby fields, hoping they'll drain before rising any further.
"We're hoping for the best, but it's hard to tell since every year is different," Harwood resident Neil Larson said Monday morning.
Residents in Lake Shure Estates, four miles north of West Fargo, lost access to their homes during the April 2009 flood due to overland flooding. They used boats to ferry themselves to the nearest open roads out of their neighborhood.
Larson's home off 52nd Avenue North served as the boating dock for the neighborhood. Residents dubbed it "Larson's Landing."
He said neighborhood residents are prepared to use their boats again if necessary, but they hope construction work on a nearby culvert off Interstate 29 will help the fields drain easier this year and stave off higher waters.
Other residents in the subdivision were making their own preparations. Piles of sand were waiting to be poured into bags on some driveways, and one home already had the makings of a sandbag dike surrounding the property.
In Harwood, some sandbags are being added to supplement a low-lying portion of the westside dike, but so far there's not too much concern, Mayor Bill Rohrich said.
"The city of Harwood itself is in pretty good shape," Rohrich said. "The drainage is pretty well taken care of in town. ... We can handle quite a bit of water before there's a problem."

Smells Like Neuronal Proliferation!
Quick Links
A cytokine called leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) plays a critical role in adult neurogenesis in the olfactory bulb in vivo, according to a report in the current Journal of Neuroscience.
Various molecules have demonstrated effects on stem cell division or differentiation in vitro, but it has been difficult to identify such effects in vivo. A research team from several institutions in France and the United States, led by Paul Patterson of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and Sylvan Bauer of the University of Lyon in France, has focused its attention on the progenitor cells that support the constant turnover of olfactory sensory neurons in the olfactory epithelium (OE). When the target of these sensory neurons-the olfactory bulb-is experimentally ablated, the result is a wave of apoptosis in the OE, followed by a wave of mitosis in the resident progenitor cells.
Using this experimental paradigm in adult mice, Patterson and colleagues assayed for the various cytokines and growth factors that have been reported to stimulate olfactory neurogenesis in vitro and found that only leukemia inhibitory factor was reliably induced by the lesion. Some of this LIF is expressed in the damaged OE neurons, though some may also be produced by macrophages. When the researchers repeated the experiment in LIF knockout mice, the olfactory bulb ablation failed to induce neurogenesis, indicating that LIF is essential for OE cell proliferation. Finally, the researchers showed that transfecting exogenous LIF to the OE via a viral vector in intact animals increases OE cell turnover.
There is also evidence that LIF regulates cell proliferation in granule cells of the dentate gyrus in the hippocampus, a population of stem cells of particular interest to AD research. Last year, researchers in Japan (Maekawa et al., 2002) demonstrated increased LIF expression in the rat hippocampus following kainic acid-induced seizures. Maekawa and colleagues noted an initial upregulation of LIF mRNA in the dentate granule cell layer, followed in turn by increases in the polymorph molecular layers, and then increases in strata oriens and radiatum of the CA1 and CA3 subfields.
"We are very keen to test LIF in AD mouse brains to see if it can help produce new neurons," Patterson told the Alzheimer Research Forum.—Hakon Heimer

Carey Mulligan Hates the Term "Strong Woman"
At first, the phrase "strong woman" comes off as a term of an endearment, but to British actress Carey Mulligan, it's exactly what's wrong with gender roles in today's society, specifically in film.
Mulligan, memorable for her role as Daisy in "The Great Gatsby," explained in the feminism issue of Elle U.K. why she's so turned off by the stigma surrounding the term. "The idea that women are inherently weak and we've identified the few strong ones to tell stories about … is mad," she said.
Every time Mulligan gets a script, her role is always the same. She's not receiving scripts for the dragon-fighting heroine or the powerful CEO; she's receiving those that make her secondary. "A lot of the stuff I read is playing so-and-so's wife, so-and-so's girlfriend. That's not where the story is: I want to play him," she said.
Looking at Mulligan's role in "The Great Gatsby," Daisy was the love interest of Jay Gatsby. Despite her huge success prior to the movie, she felt intimidated because of what people said about her when she was cast. Even though the role was essentially to play a weak woman along side a man, online critics said, "She's not pretty enough to play Daisy," which makes us think back to the cringe-worthy saying, "Women should be seen and not heard."
It puts the term "strong woman" into a new context and casts a shadow over women in film in general. Mulligan stated that the problem with it is that the term isn't used equally for both genders. The "strong" is just implied when describing male roles. Mulligan added, "You don't say to men, 'You played another really strong man.'"
It goes to show sexism is still very much an issue in the film industry and the fight for gender equality is far from over.
On the upside, the upcoming British film "Suffragette," starring Mulligan, proves that progress is not impossible and reminds us of a time when women were fighting simply for the right to vote.

No one could accuse Pope John Paul II of being soft on celibacy. The Roman Pontiff frowns upon even hypothetical discussions about relaxing the church's centuries-old ban on married priests. Yet this is the same Pope who in 1980 approved an experiment in which 43 married men have become Roman Catholic priests in the U.S. The most recent was ordained in New York just last week. (Some 20 married converts have become priests elsewhere in the West since Pope Pius XII allowed the first such dispensation in 1951.) Although church officials have sought to avoid publicity about the unusual American program,...

John began his career in 1992 and his first trial was a double homicide defense, in which his client was acquitted. After that he was offered and accepted a job as a prosecutor eventually becoming a senior trial lawyer handling major crimes. During his tenure as a prosecutor, John tried 75 cases including two capital murders. Seeing the injustice in the quality of representation of some of the people he was prosecuting, he retired from prosecution and devoted his practice to defense.
John opened his offices in 2000 and since that time has tried numerous felony, misdemeanor and juvenile cases, and has tried some of the biggest cases in North Georgia. Known for a tenacious cross examination style, he has been very successful in front of Metro Atlanta juries over the years. Even in trials before the bench, he is well respected by both judges and prosecutors for making legally sound, common sense presentations in a no nonsense and professional way.
John's skills and ethics are so trusted by Cobb County judges, that he has been appointed a judge on numerous occasions in the State Court of Cobb County. He is a tough negotiator but a gentleman to his adversaries and prevails with his knowledge of the law and powers of persuasion.
John's practice is not limited to Cobb County, but all over North Georgia.

Early detection of complications of gastrostomy
An NPSA Rapid Response Report
At the beginning of April the National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) issued a Rapid Response Report to the NHS on complications after gastronomy. The chair of the BSG Small Bowel/Nutrition section acted as an advisor to NPSA. Commenting on the report David Sanders said, "the BSG considers the issues surrounding both the seection of patients for gastronomy placement and the avoidance of complications to be of great importance. The BSG has previously produced clinical guidelines and, more recently, collaborated with the Royal College of Physicians on a report designed to improve standards of care for patients referred for or having a gastronomy".

The Solano County Coroner's Office on Wednesday identified a man who died after falling from a passenger train the previous day in Cordelia as 49-year-old Daniel Darms of San Jose.
The incident is believed to have occurred just after 2 p.m. near Pierce Lane off Goodyear Drive when Darms, who is believed to have been holding onto the outside of the cab of a westbound Amtrak passenger train, lost his grip and fell, according to Vernae Graham, a spokeswoman for Amtrak.
Exact details remain unclear, Graham said, but it appears one of the train's passengers or crew members had spotted Darms "trespassing" outside the train, but he was gone moments later.
A second train traveling eastbound around the same time was warned to be on the lookout for a trespasser near the tracks, however, as it approached the area, someone on board spotted Darms' body lying near the tracks.
The discovery closed one of the two tracks while local authorities and the Coroner's Office responded and began conducting their investigation into Darms' death, Graham said.
The train Darms is believed to have fallen from was traveling from Sacramento to San Jose with an unknown number of passengers and was detained for investigation once it arrived in Emeryville, Graham said.According to Deputy Daryl Snedeker, spokesman for the Solano County Sheriff's Office, an autopsy is scheduled to be performed on Darms today.

Wow. WOW! So delicious, and surprisingly so. I've had a bit of interesting luck with 52 Teas of late, so when an order came in today, I said… hell yes! I'm trying this.
Huge pieces of blueberries adorn this tea, and it smells absolutely divine – like a strong blueberry spun sugar, the kind you'd get at some festival that focuses on yesteryear or maybe a 60's themed candy shop (of which yes, I've been to both!)
Drinking this is amazing. I'm so blown away by it. It's light blueberry with sweet, sweet, sweet sugar attached. Far from cloying, it's just perfectly light and airy. I may need to order more before Frank runs out of reblends.
