Northern Economic Futures Commission Priority
The Northern Economic Futures Commission was established in July 2011 to spearhead an ambitious programme of activity and research over 18 months to look at the critical issues facing the economy of the North and set out a new approach to local and regional economic policy, driven by decision-makers in the North of England.
There is a strong rationale for a new focus on the economies of the North of England. The prevailing narrative about the economic performance of the North contrasts the dominance of the prosperous and powerful Greater South East with the lagging regions of the North West, Yorkshire and Humber and the North East. This is not a recent phenomenon nor is it a simple picture. But, despite more than a decade of sustained economic growth, the recent recession bit hard and is now being followed by deep public sector cuts which are likely to affect recovery in the North more severely than other regions.
Project details
The aim of the Northern Economic Futures Commission is to articulate a 10-year strategy for economic growth across the North of England.
Its objectives are threefold:
To articulate a strong vision for the kind of economy we are seeking to develop in the North of England, understanding its role within a national and global context.
To propose a coherent policy agenda and spatial framework within which national government and other players can take decisions about strategic investment.
To provide a clear evidence base for strategic planning and local decision-making within and between LEPs.
The Commission will achieve these objectives through exploring a series of eight key questions, each of which frames a key theme.
What can be learned from the past about the Northern economy and the ability of policymaking to shape it?
What should a successful Northern economy look like?
Where will economic growth come from?
How will a new phase of economic growth be financed?
How do we mobilise assets and skills in innovation and nurture enterprise in the North of England?
What are the priorities for employment and skills in Northern labour markets?
What are the key priorities for transport, housing and other infrastructure challenges?
Does the North of England have the structures and powers it needs to drive growth?
The Commission
The Commission is made up of 16 high profile figures bringing expertise from a wide range of disciplines and interests. Commissioners draw together knowledge and experience of a wide range of business sectors, economic experts and other civic leaders from across the North of England. The Commission includes people with national and international roles who bring additional experience and knowledge, and provide the opportunity for expert input about the North from an external perspective.
Membership of the Commission is as follows:
Geoff Muirhead CBE, Former Chief Executive Officer, Manchester Airports Group (Chair)
Ed Cox, Director, IPPR North (Deputy Chair)
Bill Adams, Regional Secretary, Yorkshire & Humber TUC
John Anderson, Regional Director, BT Yorkshire & Humber
Rhiannon Bearne, Group Assistant Director - Policy, The Cyrenians
Paul Callaghan, Chairman, Leighton Group
Adeeba Malik, Deputy Chief Executive, QED-UK
Professor Philip McCann, Chair of Economic Geography, University of Groningen
David McKeith, Chairman, Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce
Rodger McMillan, Therapy Area Head, AstraZeneca
John Mothersole, Chief Executive, Sheffield City Council
Peter Nears, Strategic Planning Director, Peel Holdings
Ann Pittard, Large Business Development Lead, Leeds City Region
Professor Philip Shapira, Professor of Innovation Management and Policy, Manchester Business School
Bill Tompson, Head of Rural and Regional Development, OECD
Julia Unwin, Chief Executive, Joseph Rowntree Foundation
The work of the Commission will be structured into a number of phases: the collection and assembling of existing evidence, research commissioning and generation to fill knowledge gaps, and reporting. Commission meetings in July, October and December 2011 and February 2012 will operate as 'hearings' where the Commission will take evidence from a range of sources, aiming to explore and synthesise thinking on its key themes. It will produce an interim report in spring 2012, after which it will hold further meetings in April, June and August to receive feedback from further research it may choose to commission itself, and to discuss emerging themes and issues. It will make its final report in autumn 2012.
The Commission will be guided by a small secretariat within IPPR North based in Manchester and Newcastle. The programme will receive additional advice and support from IPPR in London as required.
Project background
While the common history of unfinished industrial change and transition binds the North and its territories, and underpins the rationale for the work of this Commission, there are also problems in the South. Some of these problems are shared with the North, driven by industrial change and spatial restructuring, but some are different, such as house price pressures, congestion and exaggerated inequality. But for the UK economy to be firing on all cylinders there is a genuine need for a new sense of 'rebalancing'.
This context raises some immediate questions: Where will the jobs come from to replace those lost in the recession and the cuts? Where should the North focus its attention to promote economic growth and increase productivity? What are the priorities for innovation, infrastructure, investment and skills?
It also provides an opportunity to take stock and consider some more profound issues: Should the goal of growth centre on convergence with the South of England, or should we look further afield to assess local and regional competitiveness? What distinctive assets does the North of England hold, such as land, water and energy generation that can build the economic resilience of the UK economy? What can the North learn from other European regional economies as it tries to respond to the global economic power shift to the east? And can the North take a lead in addressing a set of national economic challenges: developing a more environmentally sustainable, low-carbon economy; dealing with longer-term demographic trends such as an ageing population, health challenges and growing concerns about immigration?
In recent years, significant research has been carried out and evidence generated about these issues, not least under the auspices of the regional development agencies, within local authorities, at universities and other academic institutions, in government departments and in other quasi-state organisations such as The Northern Way. Some of these have now been dismantled and in their place we now have a new set of instruments, focused upon local enterprise partnerships, but there is a danger that under such new arrangements important learning from the past will be lost.

Police are investigating the death of man whose body was found Tuesday morning in a field on Commerce Street as a homicide.
Two men working in the area found the man and called police at 7:20 a.m., according to a Fayetteville police news release.
Investigators aren't saying how the man died.
The body was in a cleared field between Robeson Street and Weiss Avenue, across from a warehouse belonging to Olive Glass & Marble.
Commerce Street was closed as investigators combed the area for evidence.
The man has not been identified, pending notification of family members.

AACN is pleased to offer a live, Web-based review course for nurses seeking PCCN certification, including those who provide care to acutely ill adult patients in progressive care settings such as telemetry, step-down, high acuity medical-surgical and direct observation units.
This comprehensive review course fully aligns with the new PCCN test plan, helping prospective PCCN candidates better prepare for success by reaffirming clinical knowledge and removing uncertainty about what to expect. Join colleagues in the AACN community to prepare for the exam or just brush up on clinical core content.
Comprised of seven live webinar sessions, the course covers all test-related topic areas, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, neurologic, renal, gastrointestinal, hematology, endocrine, multisystem, behavioral considerations, professional caring practice and the AACN Synergy Model for Patient Care, plus test-taking tips.
Each 2.5-hour session features topic-specific content, review questions, live polling and text chat with the presenter.
The course offers a total of 15.1 contact hours of continuing nursing education credit and also includes handouts with supporting information (a link to handouts will be provided in your confirmation email; handouts will be available at least a week prior to the first session).
The review course is suitable for both individual and group participation. Internet access is required.

Carol Rauen is an independent clinical nurse specialist and education consultant. Throughout her 30-plus years in acute and critical care nursing, she has helped hundreds of nurses become certified.
In addition to presenting CCRN and PCCN certification reviews, Rauen conducts medical-surgical and emergency nurse review courses across the country. Her clinical background primarily encompasses cardiac, trauma and emergency nursing.
She frequently presents on these topics, as well as hematology, physiology and pharmacology. Widely published in both books and journals, Rauen also serves as editor for the new Certification Review column in Critical Care Nurse.
Prior to becoming an independent CNS, Rauen worked at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. There she served as a CNS and nurse manager at the medical center and as assistant professor at the university's School of Nursing.
Her experience also includes teaching at AACN's annual National Teaching Institute and Critical Care Exposition (NTI) since 1992, as well as teaching in both the PCCN and CCRN preconference reviews.

Aston Villa beat Norwich as boss Paul Lambert hides truth over Canaries exit
Paul Lambert insisted before the game he would take the truth of his bitter exit from Norwich to his deathbed.
By Nick Mashiter
And while he has such a hold on his former club, the Villa boss will be happy for his secrets to remain silent.
The truth may out one day and, while studious Lambert will not publically admit it, a third straight victory at Carrow Road was sweet for so many reasons.
Pre-match, he dismissed any chance of reconciliation with the Norwich hierarchy, with whom he so spectacularly fell out while looking to move to Villa.
And after this outcome, the Canaries board are unlikely to be seeking a reunion either.
Victory, courtesy of Brad Guzan's penalty stop and Libor Kozak's first Villa goal, came at a price, though. Christian Benteke limped off with a hip injury which will certainly rule him out of tomorrow's League Cup clash with Tottenham.
But the game at least proved Villa can win without their Belgian battering ram, easing fears and claims they are a one-man team. And – without summer buy Jores Okore – the defence finally clinched that elusive clean sheet.
Spurs tomorrow will offer more of a threat than the limp Canaries, with the hosts' laborious and predicable attacks comfortably handled.
But while Leandro Bacuna and Ciaran Clark almost turned the ball into their own net, Guzan was equal to everything.
His early penalty save denied Robert Snodgrass while Lambert hailed his stop to turn Gary Hooper's effort over at the death as world-class. At the 27th time of asking Villa finally kept a Premier League shutout, a boost in itself although Guzan insisted it was not weighing on his mind.
Villa's defence held out, but owed as much to Norwich's ineptitude as to their' efforts. The Canaries simply went AWOL in the final third.
It means any celebrations must be tempered. Ending a run of three defeats is always welcome, but the fact remains that without Benteke and Okore, Villa are significantly weakened.
Against a more imaginative side, Villa will still struggle. Norwich never did enough to battle back.
The point remains from the Newcastle defeat that if a team with potency push the claret and blues back, they will succeed.
Lambert will be aware of that, but whether he has addressed all of last season's issues remains to be seen.
The new-boys will need time – and they deserve it – to adapt and it would be unfair to judge them for another month at least.
Villa are stronger, that is not in doubt, and the process of change is continuing. The early signs are good even if Okore's injury leaves Villa's defence exposed and Benteke's hip problem is cause for concern. But Kozak's strike will undoubtedly ease the goalscoring fears.
Antonio Luna, Okore and Kozak have all shown signs of promise with Bacuna's impressive stint at right-back adding to his growing repertoire of positions. The Dutchman, in for the dropped Matt Lowton, kept livewire Nathan Redmond quiet after some early scares.
Only Aleksandar Tonev suffered a frustrating full debut at Carrow Road with his wayward shooting belying his ability to find good positions.
The Bulgarian was in for the axed Ashley Westwood, with Clark replacing the crocked Okore against a Norwich side who have scored only three times in the league this season.
But Villa can only beat what is in front of them, something which they did after a harum-scarum opening 20 minutes.
Andi Weimann could have scored twice inside three minutes when he shot at John Ruddy and then hit the post after a barnstorming Gabby Agbonlahor run.
Three minutes later Guzan was the hero when he guessed right to stop Snodgrass' poor penalty after Clark handled the winger's knockdown.
The miss inspired Norwich, though and Ricky van Wolfswinkel chested over Redmond's cross as the hosts pushed.
The Dutch striker then volleyed wide as Benteke lay stricken on the turf, his afternoon over after 28 minutes.
It was the turning point, though, as Kozak's introduction was followed by his first Villa goal inside 90 seconds.
Weimann's pass found the Czech and when his initial shot was saved by John Ruddy, Agbonlahor pounced and slid the ball across for Kozak to fire in.
Ex-Celtic striker Hooper was thrown on to exert some pressure, but Villa always threatened on the counter.
Clark headed wide, Kozak hit the side netting and Nicklas Helenius' free-kick deflected over.
Norwich, though, should have levelled at the death. Anthony Pilkington found Hooper six yards out and his mishit shot was turned over at full stretch by Guzan.
Victory, but tougher tests lie ahead.

Reaction from NRA's chief lobbyist
Jan 11, 2013
Also in this playlist...
Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Fox News alert -- new reaction from the National Rifle Association to the ongoing gun debate in this country.
The group came out of yesterday's gun violence meeting with the vice president Joseph Biden.
Calling that meeting a quote political show.
Issued a statement that reads in part quote we were disappointed with how little this meeting had to do with keeping our children safe.
And how much it had to do with an agenda to attack the Second Amendment.
While claiming that no policy proposals would be prejudged this task force spent most of its time on proposed restrictions on lawful firearms owners.
Honest tax paying hardworking.
-- -- now is Chris Cox the chief lobbyist for the NRA Chris thanks so much for being here.
The negative things are happening so you went to the White House or your ear -- colleagues go to the White House to meet with the vice president.
Obviously as somebody who is.
You know chiefly responsible for the 2004.
Assault weapons ban that was in place you know Joseph Biden we all know where he stance but what did you expect you were gonna get there.
All -- and we were hoping to have a meaningful conversation about how we keep our kids safe.
That's a conversation that's happening all over America those are about those of us who are parents are having it.
And we are hoping to have some some meaningful discussion but it became very clear.
The very early that they were looking to hear from gun owners.
They were looking to blame gun owners and that's unfortunate because this is a very serious discussion there's things that can be done.
But our number one objective is to keep our kids safe.
-- that's I want pick up on with you there are things that can be done.
Your -- -- a lot of power and that's because the American people believe in your mission so many millions of Americans -- -- your -- and I know -- enrollments have gone way up in the in the wake of all this talk and so on but then there are millions of Americans who hold a different view.
What is it you think can be agreed on.
Well there's things that can be done right now if we look at the goal of protecting our kids we need more arms security.
But it was good enough for Bill Clinton Bill Clinton supported cops in schools if it's good enough for Bill Clinton it should be good enough for President Obama.
But -- we also have to address the underlying problem and have an honest discussion about what works and what doesn't work gun control's been a failed experiment.
Joseph Biden push to -- and threw a 1994.
And Bill Clinton's Justice Department said it had no impact on crime.
So let's look at mental health let's look at a violent culture let's look at things that can really address the underlying problem then we can start making a difference in our kids.
Lives thank you for that correction 940 it and it was in place until 2004.
-- but what specifically and I know I mean clearly clearly we need to look at the mental health system I've -- this program many times.
That that summer so focused on disarming the mad man that they're not focused -- -- in how we dissuade the man met the bad man I mean.
-- it or at least control him or put -- someplace where he can't get access to any weapons whether it's a -- and things that's clearly need to be need to be addressed.
But is there any gun restriction you know they're talking about universal background checks are tightening the mental health background checks that go to places or anything that you could agree on.
Or -- -- right with regards the no health system there were red flags and all of the businesses were people ignored problems.
We can't do that anymore in this country if you see something you need to say something.
The mental health records need to be put in the gun background check system no question about it about half the states are putting in those records.
We support efforts to get those guns in the in the system -- get those records and the system.
But the problem is negatives you know in Connecticut these guns were stolen.
So we can talk about background checks all day long but it's not addressing the underlying problem.
But how do we keep our kids safe.
Let's do better job with school security let's do a better job with no health and then let's look across the board at a violent culture that we all know is having an impact.
But the National Rifle Association supports safety and responsibility that's who we are that's what -- about and we're not gonna accept the blame.
For a madman or deranged criminal -- goes out he calls a problem.
Now limits of their -- they're clearly some people who are looking to just.
Use what's happened as an excuse to push an agenda they have long before this but there are many others who are.
Rational thinking people who just say is there anything we can do because we we don't want another and another.
New town we don't -- and if there's a way of keeping the high capacity magazine -- the ER fifteen out of the hands of somebody like -- Adam Lanza.
They're they're trying to think of the way and in and they didn't focus a lot on those high capacity magazines you've heard your detractors say what do you need a hundred a hundred rounds for you know I mean.

Meg and every gun owner in America.
Was heartbroken over what happened in Connecticut there's no gun owner in America who wants to see some mad -- go out and issues a firearm.
But we start we have to be honest in this country about what works and what doesn't work we had a gun ban we had a high capacity magazine -- Not for six months or for a year but for a decade.
And even Bill Clinton's Justice Department said it had no impact so we want paper over these problems with feel good legislation that won't keep our kids safe.
That's the direction the conversation should go.
That's not our objective that's not our -- on principle our principle is let's work together to keep our kids safe.

A new update for WindowBlinds 7 has been released today. WindowBlinds lets you change the look and feel of the Windows user interface with thousands of skins that are available from sites like WinCustomize.com.
This is a maintenance update with various fixes included:
You can download WindowBlinds 7.4 from the Stardock download page (http://download.stardock.com) or via the beta of Stardock Central (http://www.stardock.com/products/stardockcentral).
Mine too. Very smooth!
Stardock Central updated with no problems. Sweet!
why is it not possible to install it through impulse?
Thanks Rosco.....rednecks are a bit slow sometimes.
All you gotta do is dangle a cool one in front of them the same way you dangle a tennis ball for a dog.
You must have forgotten that they need to be sitting next to the out house also.
Nice update BTW.
Yup. Just in case the unthinkable happens and the outhouse springs a leak he needs to be ready with the bucket. Waste not want not.
Mine did not update properly through Stardock Central. I had to go to the Stardock Store and download it. Then it installed properly to version 7.4.
What happened when you tried? Errors? Explosions? Nothing?
Worked for me through Stardock Central app and I'm using Windows 7 x64
This shouldn't be necessary. Perhaps the planets were in such an alignment at the time that it prevented it from working properly the first time. That's what I'm blaming it on, anyway.
It's up and running now, though?
Perhaps I will wait for a full moon next time.
i hope this fixes the right click menu from being on the left instead of the right side every time i enable a blind.
I got that 'error' message, too, but just clicked OK & it installed without a hitch. I don't think it was an 'error' message - rather just a 'message'.
No errors, although I did hear a couple of explosions It just said it was still version 7.3 (Vista 32bit) The Stardock Store version took much longer to install but it at least upgraded me to 7.4.
Ya the store install runs that alcs or acls (whichever it is) routine that sets the permissions on all the files in the skins directory. It can take awhile if there are a lot of skins and it runs silent - I thought the install had hung until I opened up task manager to see what was going on. But it works as long as you wait for it.
Kudos to Neil. Fantastic update. I've been using 125% dpi fonts for a while and it always bothered me that only a few blinds looked good enough to use that way.
With this update, on reboot I have to stop then restart UxSms to get Aero running again. Windows 7 Ultimate/64/4Gb RAM. I don't reboot often, so I just noticed it today.
Your computer has a Windows Experience Index base score of 5.9Your Windows Graphics Experience score is 6.9
WindowBlinds version : WindowBlinds 7.4 (320 - Windows 7 Edition) - 64 bit OS
WindowBlinds is installed correctly on this PC WindowBlinds appears to be activated on this PC(Acer LCD Monitor X223W) 1 is attached to NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
Wblind.dll 2012/04/11 12:31:20Wblind64.dll 2012/04/11 12:31:05Wbsrv.dll 2011/09/26 15:10:56SevenConfig.exe 2012/04/10 18:38:58Wbload.exe 2010/10/20 16:08:35Wbhelp.dll 2011/10/04 10:01:37Tray.dll 2009/10/23 20:12:19Wbload.dll 2010/06/07 15:59:25Screen.exe 2010/06/07 15:59:43
Edit: After a few WB skin changes, and several reboots, it now appears to be ok. I will keep an eye on it, but so far, so good.
Hum. I've been using 96 on any display graphics. Just what resolution can the new displays show?
That was fixed a few versions ago. Sometime last year, I too also had that problem but yes it's fixed
I'm sure you already know but most blinds support the default DPI setting of 96.

MA or MSc Technology Integrated Knit Design
15th May 2012, Nottingham, UK
Course focus
This new one-year Masters degree has been developed to meet the industry's demand for a postgraduate course within the field of fashion knitwear design and product innovation in knitted technical textiles. Aimed at graduates and professionals from both design and technology backgrounds, the course integrates creative and technical perspectives within the context of advanced fibre materials and computerised flat-bed knitting technology.
Students will develop creative and commercial skills, providing the global fashion and technical textiles industries with well-qualified, technically competent product and fashion designers.
The knitting technology revolution
There are very few knitwear designers who have a thorough knowledge of advanced flat-bed knitting technology, and those with knit CAD/CAM programming skills are even rarer. In order for the industry to fully exploit new technology there needs to be a pool of design talent which has both creative flair and a technological viewpoint.
The gulf between technician and designer within the industry has increased as the pace of technological progress in computerised flat-bed knitting has quickened. Technicians struggle to understand the designer's brief, and designers struggle to understand the possibilities and potential of the technology.
This Masters course will give students the core IT, advanced knitting technology and design skills to bridge this gap. By providing students with a unique combination of creative design skills and CAD/CAM and technological skills, graduates will be equipped with a high level of technical knowledge and expertise.
MA or MSc
Students on this course have the option to select a project in either fashion knitwear design (MA) or knitted technical textiles (MSc). The MA route is suitable projects where students will create advanced knitted products with a design application. The MSc route is for those whose focus is on medical textiles, smart textiles and eTextiles, where the outcome will be written dissertations detailing scientific analysis and evaluation.
The School of Art & Design has excellent resources which include:
- 5, 7, 10, 14 and 15 gauge computerised flat-bed knitting machines from Shima Seiki and Stoll
- 5 Shima Seiki SDS1 KnitCAD systems
- 5 M1plus Knit Design systems from Stoll
- A complete range of knitwear making up equipment
- A range of modern testing equipment to measure mechanical properties and electrical characteristics of textile materials,
- An impedance tube to determine noise absorbency in textile materials;
- Skin contact pressure measurement systems;
- A digital microscope with image processing software
- IT and CAD facilities within the School to support portfolio development work and analysis of experimental data

Butternut Sage Scones
Author Notes: When Autumn rolls around, it's time to make Pumpkin Scones for the farmers market here in Pound Ridge. I usually use canned pumpkin, but thought I might be able to achieve a similar product using cooked butternut squash. So I tried it. They came out pretty yummy. I am not a big fan of sage, so feel free to increase or decrease the amount. They do look very pretty decorated with the sage leaf on top, so don't skip that step. You can always pluck it off. Keep in mind you will have to drain the cooked squash, as it contains a lot of liquid. You can do that the day before. This recipe is inspired by my pumpkin scone recipe, which is adapted from the recipe for Starbucks Pumpkin Scones here: http://www.food.com/recipe/Starbucks-Pumpkin-Scones-214051 - mrslarkin - mrslarkin
Food52 Review: We've been lucky enough to taste the Scone Lady's goods firsthand (our former CTO Alain makes a point of jogging by her stand at the Pound Ridge Farmers Market on Sundays for scones and her aptly-named Crack Cookies) -- so we knew we had to try making them ourselves. Lo and behold, with mrslarkin's recipe, they come out just as delicious as the real thing -- incredibly moist, perfumed with sage and squash, and as sweet as you want them to be, depending on if you opt for the cinnamon drizzle. If you made these for breakfast, they wouldn't make it till lunch. - A&M - A&M
Serves 8
- 2 cups (about 9 oz. or 255 grams) all-purpose unbleached flour (I use King Arthur)
- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top of scones
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground nutmeg
- Scant ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
- Scant ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh sage (optional)
- 6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/2 cup butternut squash puree (see below for directions)
- 1/3 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing on top of scones
- 1 large egg
- 8 small sage leaves
- Cinnamon drizzle, optional
- When measuring flour, fluff with a whisk, scoop it up with a spoon, sprinkle it into the measuring cup, and sweep off the top with the flat edge of a knife or spatula. But when I make scones, I always weigh flour, and bypass all that extra work.
- FOR THE BUTTERNUT SQUASH: Pierce a medium butternut squash all over with a fork or tip of a knife. Place on microwave-safe dish and cook on high for about ½ hour, turning every ten minutes or so, until soft and mushy. Cut squash down the middle. If it's still hard in the middle, nuke it a little more. Scoop out seeds and pulp. Scoop out the soft squash, mash it a bit, and place in a mesh strainer over a bowl. Let drain for a couple hours, or overnight. Depending on the size of your butternut, you'll probably have extra squash, as this recipe only uses ½ cup. Make soup with the rest. Or double the scone recipe. And make a little less soup.
- FOR THE CINNAMON DRIZZLE: mix 1 cup confectioner's sugar with ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Add 2 tablespoons warm water. Stir until smooth. I always do this by sight, so if too loose, add more sugar. If too thick, add more water. If not cinnamon-y enough, add more cinnamon. It should be thick like corn syrup. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade, place the dry ingredients and the chopped sage, and pulse to combine.
- Add the butter, and pulse about 10 or so times. You want to retain some small pieces of butter. Don't blitz the heck out of it. Transfer the flour mixture to a large mixing bowl. If you've got some really large butter lumps, just squish them with the back of a fork.
- In a large measuring cup, place the squash, egg and heavy cream. Mix well. Pour into flour mixture. With a dinner fork, fold the wet into the dry as you gradually turn the bowl. It's a folding motion you're shooting for, not a stirring motion. When dough begins to gather, use a plastic bowl scraper to gently knead the dough into a ball shape.
- Transfer the dough ball to a floured board. Gently pat into a 6" circle. With a pastry scraper or large chef's knife, cut into 8 triangles. I use a pie marker to score the top of the dough circle and use the lines as a guide.
- OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED: Place the scones on a wax paper-lined sheet pan and freeze until solid. Once they are frozen, you can store them in a plastic freezer bag for several weeks.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place frozen scones on a parchment-lined sheet pan, about 1 inch apart. Brush with cream. Take the whole sage leaves, brush front and back with cream and place on tops of scones. Sprinkle tops of scones with sugar.
- Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes, turning pan halfway through. They are done when a wooden skewer comes out clean. When cool, drizzle with cinnamon glaze.
- Slather with clotted cream and fig jam, if you feel like gilding the lily. But if not, these are pretty darn good with just plain ol' butter, too. These are great the next day, warmed in the microwave for 15 - 20 seconds. They freeze really well, too, and can be reheated in a 350 degree F oven until warm. Enjoy!
- BAKING TIPS: Last but not least, I highly recommend you get an oven thermometer, if you don't have one already. The success of quick breads like this depend upon a really cranking hot oven, and if your oven fluctuates, like mine does, then you can adjust your oven temp accordingly. Mine always runs cooler, so I crank it up until the thermometer reads the temp I want. Also, if you are baking less than a full batch, double up on your baking sheets, which helps prevent scorched bottoms.

I feel so lucky to have stumbled upon this recipe! It's always a hit. Super delicious & moist. It's truly perfection. I've always used pure canned pumpkin instead of butternut because I have a TON of it and need to use it up and it comes out fabulous! I'll be making these for a long time coming. Thank you for the recipe!

these were so tender and delicious. How do you think they would work with a brown butter-fried sage leaf on top? I suspect the brown butter flavor would complement the butternut squash nicely.

Thanks you smt! I think the brown butter-fried sage leaf sounds very yummy. But I think the sage leaves might burn on top of the scones if the leaves have already been fried.

mrslarkin, I use Clabber Girl baking powder and don't have the problem you describe with Rumford baking powder. Am about to mix up a late-night batch of pumpkin scones for the freezer so that we can have them on Thanksgiving morning... we absolutely adore these. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!

I made these last week, and were they ever wonderful! So flaky yet light. My husband was not sure he would like these (a sage and butternut squash scone was a little out of his comfort zone), but the next thing I knew he was out the door and so were 5 of the scones!

Thank you, mrslarkin, for a delicious scone recipe and your detailed instructions. I'm having some friends over for brunch on Saturday and mixed up a batch last night and froze them. This morning I popped one in the oven to test it: oh my, it was buttery and yummy. I think I'll serve them with cardamon pear butter.

Hi all, here's an update on freezing scones. I usually use Red Star non-aluminum baking powder. I recently ran out, so I bought some Mumford's instead. After freezing solid, the Mumford scones did not rise at all when baking. So fyi, if you use Mumford's baking powder, bake the scones straightaway, and don't freeze.
about 2 years ago Burnt Offerings
I am a HUGE fan of the freeze and bake method for your scones, because it makes breakfast entertaining so much easier. I have a standing, monthly, meeting from 10-12 for the League of Women Voters at my house, and I think if I ever decided to NOT serve your scones - there would be mutiny. But I love making them the night before and tossing them in the oven before everyone arrives. Today's weather calls for pumpkin scones - so I'll adapt this for the canned pumpkin and everyone will be happy. I have some spiced pumpkin butter to serve with them.

So glad you like these, BO! Pumpkin scones are awesome. Mmmm...spiced pumpkin butter, yummy! Have a great meeting!
P.S. my comment above should say "Rumford" not "Mumford." I wonder if anyone else has had the Rumford baking powder issue?

OMG these are without a doubt the best scones I've ever had!!! Not too sweet, not too much squash, just the right texture. I love them!! I took your advice to freeze the little guys solid b4 baking. Interesting note about the effect that has on the rise. They just came out of the oven, I wolfed down one, and may have to leave the house to prevent myself from eating the other 7 before dinner.

I made the pumpkin version of these for breakfast on Thanksgiving and they were tender and moist and just plain fabulous. Through a series of kitchen flukes not worth repeating, I ended up using half and half instead of heavy cream, and they were still spectacular. You have changed the way I think about scones, dear mrslarkin!

Mrs L, do you make your pumpkin scones with the same ratio of ingredients and method, minus the sage leaves? I'd love to make pumpkin scones when my son is home later this week! Thank you so much. ;o)
about 3 years ago
Mrs. Larkin is a trusted source on Baking.
Hi AJ, yes, same ratio. I've found that pumpkin puree is less sweet than butternut squash, so I usually add an extra tablespoon of sugar when making pumpkin scones. P.S. The sage is very subtle and works well (and tastes great) with the pumpkin scones, too. Have a wonderful holiday!!

That sounds like a good plan. My kids are destroying my house. There's paint and shoes everywhere.
best bet is to book flights based on nap schedule...and hope there are no delays.
A couple weeks ago during Make Music Pasadena we stopped in Lucky Baldwins, a BAR, to grab a beer. it was really crowded. My girlfriend went to the bathroom, which was also crowded, and inside was a woman crouched on the floor changing a baby. She yelled out in front of everybody, i assume to get support from the other ladies in there, "geez, would it kill this place to install a baby-changing table?!?" This is a fucking BAR you stupid bitch.
This is the type of stuff people brought up on Facebook... I'm sure it's frustrating dealing with little ones when travelling - and I sympathize. But it wasn't hectic, we were delayed and not going anywhere fast, and the dad was there too. Dad could watch all their stuff while she took the baby and a diaper bag and did it in the bathroom nearby.

Quiz: What You Don't Know About Energy in the Changing Arctic
Photograph by Paul Nicklen, National Geographic
You know that climate change is reshaping the Arctic, but how much do you really know about how shrinking sea ice is opening up the resources at the top of the world for exploration and development?
Quiz by Marianne Lavelle
In September 2012, the monthly Arctic sea ice extent declined to a record low. How did it compare to the average between 1979 and 2000?
- About 10 percent less
- About 30 percent less
- About 50 percent less
- About 70 percent less
The average Arctic sea ice monthly extent for September 2012, the lowest observed in the satellite era, was 3.6 million square kilometers, 50 percent lower than the 1979-2000 average of 7.0 million square kilometers, says the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center.
Over the past several decades, what has happened to surface air temperatures in the Arctic?
- They have cooled as global air temperatures have warmed.
- They have warmed at half the rate of global air temperatures.
- They have warmed at the same rate as global air temperatures.
- They have warmed at double the rate of global air temperatures.
According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, surface air temperatures in the Arctic have warmed at approximately twice the global rate, a trend that will produce feedbacks with "globally significant consequences."
The area north of the Arctic Circle, with 6 percent of the Earth's surface area, holds how much of the undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and natural gas resources in the world?
- 1 percent

They sign the white guy and never made and attempt to sigh the Spanish guy. Wilnotpons are racists.
That's good news, but in reality, it's a stand pat move. As even team shill Matt Cerrone points out, the team is no better today than it was yesterday.
This is pretty much the absolute minimum we should expect, anyone who is feeling grateful to the Coupons today has something wrong with them.
Now IMPROVE the team.
While I do not think that the Wilpon's are racist at all, I am pretty sure when deciding who to choose among these two corner stone player to pay and give big money to and be the face of the franchise where they came from and how they looked might have been a favor. In one corner you have Mr. All American, good looking David Wright who says all the right things an in the other side you have a flamboyant Latino with dreadlocks who speaks broken English.
They pee away their money evenly on any nationality. How about our Japanese 2nd baseman turned short stop. How about OP and Castillo, how about George Foster, how about Mike Pelfrey, how about Bay. When Omar was here it looked like little Latin America. I think the Wilpons would spend money on any nationality as long as it brought the promise of winning. Sadly most of them didn't.
Besides the greater NYC area has nearly every nationality there is. The stadium celebrates nearly every nationality there is too. Sadly.. they cut out Swahili Fridays, which did have the best goats mike!
" You seek Yoda!
Not really. Reyes was deserving of that contract but I think Wright was the safer deal. Power hitters tend to have the best years 28-35 then fall of a cliff. Hopefully wright will stay healthy past 35 and still be productive.
Reyes's entire game was built off speed. If he loses his speed his average drops, stolen bases drop and becomes less effective defensively.
Presenting the 2013 New York Mets Outfield.
I can't believe its true. Finally.
This...It's great that they ponied up and signed their best offensive player in team history, but it can't stop there. In all reality this team is probably worse then last years. I think Dickey will still be a top 10 pitcher but I don't think he will be the best or even top 3 again this year.
Sadly there is nothing they can do at this point to make this team a winner by next year.
We don't have the pieces to bring in an elite outfielder which is what this team def needs.
Wright is the equivalent to Matt Holliday imo. Very good player that needs a great hitter on the team to reach his maximum effectiveness.
All we can hope for is vast improvements from Thole, Kirk, Duda, Ike and hope for Murphy to get some of his power back.

New Chief Development Officer to Lead Expanding National Management Portfolio
PROVIDENCE, R.I., Oct. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Procaccianti Group (TPG), today announced that industry veteran and proven hospitality development executive, Paul Sacco has joined the Company as Chief Development Officer to grow its hospitality management affiliate; TPG Hospitality.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131002/NE90683 )
"TPG's industry-leading performance and stellar reputation have been well known and recognized throughout the hotel industry for decades. When the opportunity to join TPG came about, it was a very easy decision," states Paul Sacco, newly appointed Chief Development Officer for TPG Hospitality. Paul continues, "In previous capacities over the years I had engaged with TPG on multiple occasions and always held the organization and its leadership in the highest regard. I look forward to building upon the foundation that TPG's ownership has established as the company pursues hospitality management contracts, new hotel development and acquisition opportunities."
The Procaccianti Group, and its management affiliate TPG Hospitality, have recently completed multiple large transactions including the acquisition of the Westin Chicago North Shore and have been awarded several management contracts which include the Hilton Kansas City Airport, the Hilton San Antonio and the DoubleTree North Shore in Danvers, MA. Additionally, the company has commenced development of several new hotels including the Hyatt House at Georgia Aquarium and the Hampton Inn & Suites in San Jose.
"I've worked with Paul for many years and I'm exceptionally pleased to have him a part of our leadership team," states James Procaccianti, TPG's President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Procaccianti continues, "Paul brings a wealth of experience, extensive knowledge and a complete alignment of interests and we believe he'll have a profound impact in helping to achieve the company's aggressive growth plans."
Mr. Sacco joins TPG after successful, tenured careers with Starwood Hotels & Resorts and most recently Pyramid Hotel Group. Paul will concentrate on expanding TPG Hospitality's presence throughout North America by leading initiatives in securing management contracts and other hotel development opportunities. Based at the TPG Corporate Headquarters in Rhode Island, he intends to maintain a high profile through his participation in industry conferences, professional panels and speaking engagements. Paul can be reached by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 401-946-4600.
About The Procaccianti Group (TPG)
The Procaccianti Group (TPG), founded in 1964, is a privately-held real estate investment and management company boasting a broad national platform with a tenured focus on full-service, branded hospitality assets. Its wholly owned affiliate, TPG Hospitality ranks among the top U.S. hotel management companies with management of over 60 hotels representing over 17,000 guestrooms and generating more than $700 million in gross annual revenue. Through TPG Hospitality, Inc., the organization delivers comprehensive hospitality and/or asset management services to a variety of public and private ownership entities including municipalities and pension funds.
TPG's reputation for high performance and uncompromised integrity has earned the trust of numerous institutional grade partners, including direct investments from the California Public Employee's Retirement System (CalPERS), Chesapeake Lodging Trust, InvestCorp, Logian, Och Ziff and Rockpoint Group. These partners have completed multiple investments and management agreements with TPG over time.
Success in hospitality is a combination of excellent product, extraordinary guest service and keen financial management. TPG Hospitality's strength lies in its full integration of services. A fully accredited operator of Hilton, Hyatt, InterContinental, Marriott and Starwood, TPG has earned its position as a trusted partner by routinely exceeding the stringent demands of major corporate brands and is recognized as a leader in performance, service and quality.
TPG's proprietary value optimization process creates unprecedented value by identifying underlying factors causing 'drag' on performance, then dramatically reverses operational inefficiencies via techniques refined through decades of hospitality management experience. Having sustained growth and operated through several market cycles, the company is able to position properties to prosper in up cycles while mitigating risk during down cycles through highly skilled hands-on asset management, resulting in above market performance which translates into returns for its investment partners.
TPG's senior executive management team has remained unchanged for over 25 years under the leadership of James and Elizabeth Procaccianti (siblings) who have built a professional infrastructure capable of effectively managing its expanding national hospitality management and real estate portfolio.
