Have made this a number of times. The beans and chicken are good. Sliced apples were really good with it too!
Buffalo Chicken with Blue Cheese Fondue
To keep the cheese creamy and smooth, stir the dippers in a figure-eight movement. A heavy enamel fondue pot helps prevent the cheese from burning on the bottom. Wing sauce can be found with other hot sauces in the condiment section of your grocery store.
Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 1/2 ounces chicken, 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 cup carrots, 1/4 cup celery, 1/4 cup bell pepper, 1 1/2 ounces bread, and about 1/3 cup fondue)

Daniels noted that legislators who voted for HB477 seemed to be more concerned about their own privacy rather than the public welfare. Nonetheless, Richardson's original vote in favor of HB477 does not trouble him.
"I suppose most people voted for it," Daniels said, "and then voted against it."
Oops. Clerical error
Holly Richardson, a conservative blogger and former state legislator, has been appointed to the State Records Committee but has not yet been confirmed by the Utah Senate. That didn't stop her, however, from hearing records appeals Sept. 13 and voting. The Governor's Office chalked it up to a "clerical error." Richardson is expected to be confirmed Oct. 17.

The Y is currently seeking volunteers to coach youth sports or to serve on a volunteer committee. There are several unique committees to choose from based on your interests. For more information, visit the welcome desk staff.
3. Learn Something New - Step out of your comfort zone, have fun and grow by exploring personal interests. Are you interested in tennis, racquetball, Zumba, swimming, spinning or karate?

For class information and times, please visit with the welcome desk staff.
4. Spent more time with family and friends - Socializing in a healthy environment like the Y strengthens the well-being.

New planet candidates found
NASA's Kepler mission has announced the discovery of 461 new planet candidates.
Four of the potential new planets are less than twice the size of Earth and orbit in their sun's "habitable zone," the region in the planetary system where liquid water might exist on the surface of a planet.
Based on observations conducted from May 2009 to March 2011, the findings show a steady increase in the number of smaller-size planet candidates and the number of stars with more than one candidate.
Since the last Kepler catalog was released in February 2012, the number of candidates discovered in the Kepler data has increased by 20 percent and now totals 2,740 potential planets orbiting 2,036 stars. The most dramatic increases are seen in the number of Earth-size and super Earth-size candidates discovered, which grew by 43 and 21 percent respectively.
The new data increases the number of stars discovered to have more than one planet candidate from 365 to 467.
Today, 43 percent of Kepler's planet candidates are observed to have neighbor planets.
The Kepler space telescope identifies planet candidates by repeatedly measuring the change in brightness of more than 150,000 stars in search of planets that pass in front, or "transit," their host star.
At least three transits are required to verify a signal as a potential planet.
Candidates require additional follow-up observations and analyses to be confirmed as planets. At the beginning of 2012, 33 candidates in the Kepler data had been confirmed as planets. Today, there are 105.
The complete list of Kepler planet candidates is available in an interactive table at the NASA Exoplanet Archive. The archive is funded by NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program to collect and make public data to support the search for and characterization of exoplanets and their host stars.

Sustained long-term climate warming
NASA scientists say 2012 was the ninth-warmest of any year since 1880, continuing a long-term trend of rising global temperatures.
With the exception of 1988, the nine warmest years in the 132-year record all have occurred since 2000, with 2010 and 2005 ranking as the hottest years on record.
NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, which monitors global surface temperatures on an ongoing basis, recently released an updated analysis that compares temperatures around the globe in 2012 to the average global temperature from the mid-20th century.
The comparison shows how Earth continues to experience warmer temperatures than several decades ago.
The average temperature in 2012 was about 58.3 degrees Fahrenheit (14.6 Celsius), which is 1.0 F (0.6 C) warmer than the mid-20th century baseline. The average global temperature has risen about 1.4 degrees F (0.8 C) since 1880, according to the new analysis.
Scientists emphasize that weather patterns always will cause fluctuations in average temperature from year to year, but the continued increase in greenhouse gas levels in Earth's atmosphere assures a long-term rise in global temperatures.
Each successive year will not necessarily be warmer than the year before, but on the current course of greenhouse gas increases, scientists expect each successive decade to be warmer than the previous decade.

Volunteer coordinators needed for program
The American Cancer Society has an urgent need for volunteer coordinators to manage the Road to Recovery program's daily drivers in Brevard County.
The Road to Recovery program is operated by volunteers who drive local cancer patients to and from lifesaving chemotherapy and/or radiation treatments.
The society needs volunteer coordinators to match patients with drivers and schedule trips to and from treatments.
An integral part of treating cancer successfully is making sure cancer patients receive their treatments, but many find making transportation arrangements is a challenge.
The American Cancer Society provided more than 3,100 cancer patients with rides to treatment in Florida last year.
If you or someone you know can help this program continue to get patients to their treatments, call Gina Becker at (407) 581-2535 or email email@example.com.

This year's annual call for NASA's Innovative Advanced Concepts Program is seeking proposals for revolutionary concepts, with the potential to transform future aerospace missions.
NASA expects to fund about 15 proposals in this year's Phase I process. Those selected may receive as much as $100,000 for nine months of study to advance the innovative space technology concept and help NASA meet current operational and future mission requirements.
Selection announcements are expected this summer.
The solicitation is open to all United States citizens and researchers working in the United States, including NASA civil servants.
The number of awards will depend on the strength of proposals and availability of appropriated funds.
This NASA early investment and partnership with creative scientists, engineers and citizen inventors will pay huge technological dividends and help maintain America's leadership in the global technology economy.

Softball season announced
Introducing a challenging 51-game slate, Florida Tech head softball coach Val Silvestrini has released the 2013 schedule.
The schedule, which includes 20 home games, will feature 11 opponents, who played in the 2012 NCAA Division II tournament.
The Panthers begin the season with three straight tournaments.
The first comes in the first-ever Peach Belt Conference-Sunshine State Conference Challenge beginning Feb. 2. The Crimson and Gray will match up against four opponents in a two-day span, including three NCAA tournament teams from 2012 in Armstrong Atlantic State, Columbus State and North Georgia.
The following weekend, FIT will again hit the road, this time traveling to Clearwater, for the Eckerd College Tournament, which includes a contest against regional opponent Flagler. Flagler was a national championship participant last season after winning the Southeast Super Regional at 39-20 overall.
The Panthers will finish the three-tournament opening slate with the University of Alabama - Huntsville Charger Chillout, beginning Feb. 15 in Decatur, Ala.
In total, the Panthers will play on the road the first 15 games of the season.
The first home game will come more than 20 days into the season on Feb. 23, with a doubleheader against Webber International at Nancy Bottge Field. The squad will remain at home for a doubleheader the following day against Flagler. Three days later, the Panthers will again go on the road, this time to begin conference play against Tampa.
FIT will close out the schedule with a home series against Barry. The final game of the regular season, on April 21, will represent senior day for four seniors in Kara Dickinson, Lindsy Dugan, Kyla Palaschak and Erica Tollett.
Coach Silvestrini is now entering her fourth season at the helm of the Panthers. She is assisted by Jillian Lafrance, Caurie Miller and former Panther Sarah Oram.

NEW ORLEANS, LA - SEPTEMBER 18: Gabe Carimi #72 of the Chicago Bears is helped off the field at the Louisiana Superdome on September 18, 2011 in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Saints defeated the Bears 30-13.(Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)
Gabe Carimi's knee might not be as mangled as originally thought. Only slightly mangled.
Early reports said the rookie right tackle had suffered a dislocated knee during the game against the New Olreans Saints Sunday. But ESPN Chicago reports the young blocker has a subluxation or dislocated kneecap.
The difference is profound.
Carimi's status for Sunday against the Green Bay Packers is still up in the air, but the news means he likely won't have to miss up to a month of games as previously thought.
Jay Cutler should thank the knee gods for that one.

In their 10-month term of service, the FEMA Corps members will focus on disaster readiness and recovery activities, providing support in the following areas (this is a sampling of the tasks):
• Assisting in individual applicant case work and providing information to individuals and families on available resources
• Assist in coordinating management report and tracking the delivery of assistance to individuals and families
• Standing up and coordinating Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC's)
• Supporting FEMA Joint Field Offices
• As requested, assist states with mass evacuations
• Assist in inspecting damages, identifying community needs, and coordinating recovery cost estimates.
These vital services provided by FEMA Corps members help with the recovery time for individuals, families and communities following the initial impact of a disaster which sometimes can span up to three years or more.
The FEMA Corps members will be deployed to FEMA at all times and all assignments will be associated with the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, as amended. These members will not deploy to projects in the same manner as the traditional NCCC program.

Professor Debra H. Rodman, Ph.D.
R-MC Professor Debra H. Rodman (anthropology and
women's studies) was invited to the White House on Friday, November 6, to
brief Lynn Rosenthal, Barack Obama's advisor on domestic violence and violence against
women, on the International Violence Against Women Act (IVAWA), which will come
before the United States Congress this year. Rodman was joined by delegates of the
Guatemala Human Rights Commission and several professors from Virginia Commonwealth
University (VCU).
The briefing covered details on feminicide and violence against women in Guatemala,
an area of Rodman's scholarly expertise. "The briefing highlighted the need for
inclusion of Guatemala as one of the selected countries for implementing IVAWA,
due to increasing rates of feminicide and violence against women, impunity and gender
inequality," said Rodman.
Rodman's work is in conjunction with that of other scholars who seek to educate
the community about violence against women. Rodman was joined in D.C. by Karen Smith
Rotabi, an assistant professor of social work at VCU who specializes in global social
work, and Janett Forte, assistant professor of psychiatry at VCU and program director
for the VCU Institute for Women's Health.
Rodman, along with R-MC Professor Brian Turner, Ph.D. (political
science) recently hosted a lecture on campus by Guatemalan torture survivor
Gladys Monterroso, who spoke on violence, impunity and immigration reform.
Rodman joined the faculty at Randolph-Macon College in 2004. She earned her bachelor's
and master's degrees at the University of Miami and her Ph.D. from the University
of Florida.

Frost, that makes SO much sense. I wish more people would realise the impact of what you're saying here. It goes the other way too - I can't count the times I've seen a lower-geared player consistently and by far out-dps a much better-geared one of the same class and spec, simply because they were, well, better.

Once introduced, the gap between reality and appearance is thus immediately complicated, reflected-into-itself: once we get a glimpse, through the Frame, of the Other Dimension, reality itself turns into appearance. In other words, things do not simply appear, they appear to appear. This is why the negation of a negation does not bring us to a simple flat affirmation: once things (start to) appear, they not only appear as what they are not, creating an illusion; they can also appear to just appear, concealing the fact that they are what they appear to be.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
My guild has a fabulous officer whose job it is to manage the guild bank, and we're able to provide flasks for a lot of guild members (especially now with cauldrons), along with having food (yay fish feasts), plus enchants & gems available for raiders. We work as a team to stock the bank with herbs and fish and everything else because we know we'll get something out of it. The higher rank you are in the guild, the more you can withdraw from the guild bank (so that there is a reward for loyalty and attendance). We can't afford to provide repairs right now, but at times where flask prices are lower, we hope to enable that feature, too. We've also been working with our crafters to get BOE epics made for our raiding team as much as possible (especially for tanks & healers).
If you want everyone to be self-sufficient and never use bank funds, then you should be /randoming the epics & greens & shards that drop in raids for the guild members to sell themselves. The very act of stockpiling gold you don't use in a guild bank is pointless right now (the overly expensive price of flasks + needing to work together to make cauldrons = the "rainy day" IS TODAY).
So, either find ways of sharing the wealth (such that money in = money out every week), or stop hoarding everything for the guild bank, because hoarding without sharing makes your guild look sketchy. You don't have to spend more on the guild than is donated or earned thru raiding - you can make only some of the bank tabs available and put limited supplies based on what your guild can afford, and put a cut-off point where you say that funds will stop being spend when you reach X amount of gold (for our guild, we stop providing flasks when the guild bank's funds drop dangerously low and ask for more donations before we open the supplies back up again).
However, having a fully functioning bank where people can get what they need (but are expected to donate what they can provide) makes our whole guild happy and works well as a recruitment tool.

The Best Way to Play the Rise of the "Middle Class" in Emerging Markets
Justin is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
America has one of the top economies in the world. Much of that is thanks to what we refer to as the "middle class." The middle class, sometimes referred to as "the consumer," has been driving American economic growth for the last few decades as illustrated in the chart below:
Source: Epoch Investment Partners
This trend has allowed various companies to build immense brand power as consumer staples to the "American Dream." These trends are now starting to take hold in emerging markets whose economies have developed slower than that of the United States. "Middle classes" have started to grow in these lesser-developed economies, allowing the consumers to provide growth opportunities for these same American brands. These brands are a "shiny object" that are desired by emerging markets as they seek to mirror the consumer status displayed in middle-class America over the past several decades. The graph below shows consumer spending in emerging markets as of 2008 along with a projection for 2030 shown by the "outer rings:"
Source: jana.com
The below plays are wonderful businesses that will benefit from the macro-economic trends that the world will face over the next decade.
Have A Coke
Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) is perhaps THE American brand. It is the most popular soft drink in America, and perhaps the most well-known in the world. Coca-Cola is perhaps the best company in the world when it comes to marketing as well. Its "Buy The World A Coke" commercial is among the most well-known and recognized advertisements of all time. Coca-Cola also sells other brands such as Sprite, Fanta, Dasani, Powerade, Minute Maid, and Vitamin Water.
Coca-Cola is driving its growth through emerging markets, it has seen a 5% growth in international volumes over this period last year. This includes:
- 18% growth in Thailand
- 8% growth in India
- 8% growth in Russia
- 3% growth in Mexico
- 3% growth in Brazil
This volume growth, combined with Coca-Cola's 18.8% operation margin, equates to a stable source of cash flows. Coca-Cola has used this cash to reward its shareholders through 51 years of straight dividend increases at a clip of 9.8% per year over the last decade. While the growth at Coca-Cola has slowed a bit in recent years, the company should continue to increase it's dividend by 5-8% annually.
Paying With Plastic
Visa (NYSE: V) is the largest payment processing company in the world. With roughly 80% of the world's transactions still done in cash, Visa faces an excellent growth opportunity. The below graph shows the current projected volume growth of its international transactions:
Source: MSN Money
Visa has seen a 20% increase in international transaction volume from 2012 to 2013 alone, with the primary source of this growth coming from the Asia-Pacific region.
Visa's business model is quite insulated from the current economic crises going on around the world. It's earnings are protected from many side effects of macro-economic policies such as inflation due to the fact that Visa collects a percentage of every transaction - not a fixed amount. A second hedge from economic turbulence is the fact that Visa does not lend consumers any money in their business dealings and the company is not responsible for any non-payment by its customers. This protects Visa from any falters in consumer credit.
The current high growth phase Visa faces offers them the opportunity to put a lot of money in its shareholder's pockets. Its three-year dividend growth rate is 31%, with plenty of room for further increases.
A Company That Provides For Almost Every Need Of Life
Nestlé (NASDAQOTH: NSRGY) is the world's largest food conglomerate. It makes everything from candy, to frozen foods, to cosmetics, to dog food. Just take a glance below, and you will get an idea of how immense this company really is:
Is what is arguably the world's most extensive consumer goods supplier not the ideal way to capture the growth of a new middle class in emerging markets? Emerging markets currently make up 45% of Nestlé's sales. This number is expected by management to increase in time. As of its first quarter 2013 presentation, emerging markets saw organic growth of 8.4% from a year ago.
A handful of Nestlé brands are the "best in class" brands of the American consumer. This trend is being mirrored in emerging markets as management reports in its most recent presentation that market share is firming up in almost all categories ranging from Nestlé bottled waters to Nestlé pet care products.
Over the last decade, the company has grown earnings per share by 7.6%, and dividends by 12.5%. With this blue-chip-packed portfolio that includes 29 (!) billion-dollar brands, you will have a hard time finding a more stable income provider.
The bottom line:
The rise of a middle class in emerging markets presents an opportunity to investors. The consumer market is growing globally by 200,000 customers a day. We as consumers will continue to feed ourselves and our children, to wash ourselves, and to feed our pets. We will continue to wear make up, and to increase our credit card spending. Iconic brands of our past will be the foundation for our future. These companies are prime examples of opportunity to be found as the rest of the world embarks on its own version of the "American Dream."

A new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that the State Department is doing an incomplete job of assessing safe havens. Among the items missing was a look at the efforts by the countries identified as safe havens to prevent trafficking in weapons of mass destruction.
Safe havens were also examined at a U.S. House of Representatives homeland security subcommittee hearing. Pakistan was a major focus, with lawmakers concerned that Osama bin Laden was found at a compound in plain sight and very close to a Pakistani military academy.
During the hearing, Professor Bruce Hoffman, of Georgetown University, suggested that, beyond government incompetence and possible complicity, it may be willful ignorance on the part of the Pakistani government that caused them not to be "aware" of bin Laden's location. Hoffman suggested that the government may have decided that it was "simply better and preferable" not to ask about bin Laden or about the inhabitants of his compound.
Patrick says that Pakistan is a weak but functioning state that makes a particularly attractive safe haven, in part because of its government's ambiguous and fragmented attitude toward extremists.
Another issue is that terrorists can operate without remote safe havens. "Much of the focus has been on remote havens, whereas it is increasingly clear that terrorists are adept at acting in urban havens, and indeed, as al-Qaeda and its affiliates become increasingly decentralized, some of those 'havens' may actually be in the West," says Patrick. Professor Paul Pillar, also with Georgetown University, points out that much of the training and planning for 9-11 occurred in Western nations like the United States and Germany.
Additionally, Pillar, who spent 28 years in the intelligence community, says the government places too much emphasis on safe havens. He says, "It is not one of the more important things that determines the extent of the threat that a group poses to Americans."
There may be an American aspect to the emphasis on physical safe havens, says Pillar. "It's partly our way, especially as Americans, of thinking of foreign threats and waging wars. We think of it like front lines. Like World War II. We liberate territories or else the enemy holds them…. But if you're talking about threats from terrorist groups, it's really something different."
The Internet may also have changed the way plans are made, making it easier to strategize across borders, and it has contributed to the decreased emphasis on physical safe havens, says Pillar.
Though Pillar thinks that there is too much emphasis on the actual physical havens, he does understand the need to assess them and deal with those threats. Patrick stresses the need to counter the threats with more than just a military presence. "It needs civilian partners, including diplomats and civilian aid experts…to address long-term and structural causes of extremism in society," he says. "Putting a U.S. military face alone on the response is often counterproductive."

Karl Lagerfeld, Master Photographer
Posted by David Ozanich — 30 Sep 2010
If the Larry Clark show in Paris isn't quite your speed, try checking out the Karl Lagerfeld show at the Maison Européenne de la Photographie. 150 photographs taken by the fashion maestro are on view. The museum has this to say about the show:
The exhibition is in two parts: the first focuses on key themes in the photographer's career such as portraits, fashion, landscapes and architecture, while the second presents his and innovative experimental photographic printing work.
Karl himself has a few words about his process and relationship to photography:
"Today, photography is part of my life. It closes the circle of my artistic and professional concerns. I no longer see life without its vision. I look at the world and at fashion with the eye of the camera. This gives my basic work a critical detachment that helps more than I ever suspected.
I'm not particularly obsessed with my own past, but I have the odd impression that my success in fashion has intensified since I've been doing photography. I see a very positive and very creative relationship between the two professions. In both, I've always been helped by fantastic teams. A very good Couture workshop is indispensable for making technically impeccable gowns, while a perfect print on beautiful paper is also the result of a collective effort."
You are also probably wondering what Karl's "favourite material" is and so he happily obliges us with an answer:
"Paper is my favourite material; it is the departure point for a drawing, and the final result of a photograph."
There you have it, folks. Details on visiting the exhibition are here. And if your next trip to France isn't scheduled until after the show closes on October 31st (Halloween does seem an appropriate date, doesn't it?) you can order the book.

Local & Rural Road Safety Peer-to-Peer Assistance
Downloadable Version
In order to reduce fatalities and serious injuries on our Nation's road network, local and rural highway practitioners have to routinely integrate safety in their projects and programs. FHWA established Local & Rural Road Safety Peer-to-Peer Assistance as a form of technical assistance for local and rural highway agencies to adequately address safety problems on the roads they maintain. Experts with knowledge in various local and rural road safety issues volunteer their time to provide assistance to their peers requesting help. Whatever the safety issue your local agency is facing, there is a Peer ready and willing to help.
How Can Transportation Agencies Benefit from Peer Assistance?
The FHWA Peer network provides access to valuable guidance and information as well as input from people who share a similar background and have faced the same challenges. The list of benefits is long, but here are just a few that you can expect.
The biggest benefit of all is safer roads that result in a reduction in crashes ultimately saving lives, time and money.
What Types of Assistance does the P2P Program Offer?
Peer assistance can be in the form of phone calls, email exchanges, general instruction or site visits; all depending on your agency needs.
How to Get Peer Assistance
The first step to using the P2P Program is to let us know you need assistance. There are several ways to reach us; you can call, email, send us a note by fax, or apply online. Whichever method you use, an FHWA sponsored P2P Coordinator will be ready to assist. The coordinator will determine your specific question or issue and match you with the best Peer for your case.

You know a bill is bad when completely outlawing abortion is not even the worst of it.
The Georgia bill, proposed by Rep. Bobby "rape victims aren't victims" Franklin, would make abortion a felony, potentially punishable by death, and require that all miscarriages be investigated to ensure they were not caused by any "human involvement whatsoever."
Now Franklin is known as an extreme fringe politician and, obviously, a bill that makes a legal, medical procedure a crime punishable by death is going nowhere fast. (I hope, at least–these days it really does feel like any fresh new horror is possible.)
But I still think it's important to highlight bills like this because they illustrate the inherent misogyny of the anti-choice position. Since Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, all that talk of "choosing life" and "saving babies" and "God loves kids" cupcakes can sometimes feel a little abstract. But this is truly what a perfect anti-choice law looks like. As Jen Phillips writes at Mother Jones, "Basically, it's everything an "pro-life" activist could want aside from making all women who've had abortions wear big red "A"s on their chests."
Just imagine a world in which women who have abortions are felons, every miscarriage is treated as a potential crime, and you remember that the anti-choice movement really does believe that women lose all their rights once they become pregnant. As Lynn Paltrow of National Advocates for Pregnant Women said recently on GRITtv,
"[Anti-choice laws] effectively legally separate eggs, embryos, and fetuses from pregnant women. And once you do that, prosecutors, doctors, local legislators can literally take custody of a pregnant woman and say you have to get bed rest, you may not work. You lose your personhood, not just your right to choose abortion."
Of course, given that almost a quarter of pregnancies end in miscarriage, and doctors themselves don't really know what causes them, I'm not sure Rep. Franklin really knows what's he's getting himself into. Furthermore, 50% of fertilized eggs don't implant at all and are unwittingly flushed out when you get your period. Thankfully, Jill Filipovic has decided to help him out by offering up her used tampons as evidence.
"I would like to be sure that I am not killing any more Georgia citizens — and that if I am, they are able to receive a proper funeral and not a burial at sea, and that our state police can dedicate valuable time and resources to investigating their deaths.
To that end, I attach a picture of my latest used tampon. I am preserving this tampon, as well as all of my other tampons, pads, feminine hygiene products and soiled panties from my current menstrual cycle, so that the Georgia State Police can come collect them as evidence. I would also be happy to drop the specimens off at your office, should you want to examine them yourself."
I suggest we all do the same.
