DALLAS, Oct. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Reaching America's true potential to deliver and receive exceptional health care will require not only an immense and concerted effort, but a fundamental change of perspective from medical providers, government officials, industry leaders, and patients alike.
Achieving STEEEP Health Care, a new book published by CRC Press, highlights Baylor Health Care System's (BHCS) efforts to improve health care quality along the six aims of health care improvement outlined by the Institute of Medicine and embraced by BHCS leadership: safety, timeliness, effectiveness, efficiency, equity, and patient centeredness (STEEEP®).
"This is the future of health care," says Joel Allison, president and CEO for BHCS. "These aims and strategies are not only making it better for our patients, they are helping us remain a leader in health care during this time of uncertainty."
Achieving STEEEP Health Care features perspectives of senior leaders in the areas of corporate governance, finance, and physician and nurse leadership; strategies for developing and supporting a culture of quality, including systems and tools for data collection, performance measurement, and reporting; service-line examples of successful quality improvement initiatives such as reducing heart failure readmissions; and approaches to accountable care and improved population health.
"This book offers practical strategies and lessons for other organizations in the areas of people, culture, and processes that have contributed to dramatic improvements in patient and operational outcomes at Baylor Health Care System," says David J. Ballard, MD, PhD, BHCS senior vice president and chief quality officer, president of the STEEEP Global Institute, and the book's editor. "We hope that sharing the challenges and successes we have encountered in our STEEEP care journey will educate and encourage other health care delivery organizations embarking on their own quality improvement endeavors."

If you volunteer on an homeowners association board, you better create a new email account, quickly, for HOA business only.
And be prepared to operate with greater accountability to your fellow homeowners.
A new state law taking effect Jan. 1, 2013 mandates new levels of transparency fromf HOA officers while its takes steps to protect the privacy of the 2 million Coloradans living in HOAs, or covenant-protected communities.
How much does the law change life in an HOA?
Consider those neighborly directories of names, phone numbers and email addresses of residents that are published by many HOAs. They can no longer be routinely distributed.
"Those kinds of directories now require written consent of the owners before they can be distributed," said Lenard Rioth, longtime HOA attorney. "The new law requires personal identification and account information, including the telephone numbers and email addresses of owners, must be kept private."
However the privacy protections in the bill, passed by the 2012 General Assembly, do not apply to board members. They are required to publish their own email addresses. And they must be prepared to release all emails related to HOA business and decisions.
"My recommendation to all board members is that they get separate email addresses from their personal email accounts," Rioth said. "If they use their personal email accounts for HOA business and there's ever litigation, they may be forced by a judge to produce all their personal emails from their family and friends."
The new law was contained in House Bill 1237, written by Rep. Angela Williams, D-Denver, and the Community Associations Institute, an HOA management industry group.
It was a response to all the complaints about a lack of HOA board transparency, as reported by the HOA Information Officer last year.
It specifies which documents – covenants, bylaws, financial statements, board decisions — must be maintained, for how long and how quickly they must be produced by the state's 8,000 HOAs. And it bars HOAs from demanding the purpose of an owner's document request.
It lets boards meet and vote via the Internet. But online chats and votes must be documented and available for owner inspection.
And it declares as private HOA records of covenant violation actions.
"In the past, if an HOA cites an owner for say a barking dog violation, that owner will demand to see all the covenant violations actions for barking dogs in the last 30 years," Rioth said. "They want to argue they are victims of selective enforcement action. This will prevent that selective enforcement defense."
Now, get your email accounts set up and get written consent before you send out those directories!

Last week I touched on "balance" as a word that's become increasingly polemical, particularly in California, where the growing movement toward lower-alcohol wines has been branded as a movement toward balance.
The problem is, this movement has largely been defined by what restraint (a word that's become synonymous with balance in this case) looks like in Pinot Noir, not grapes like Zinfandel or Grenache. Those grapes are enjoying their own movements toward restraint, but their progress is lost on those who can't see beyond the fact that, by nature of the grapes and how they grow, alcohol levels in even the most elegant versions of both routinely pierce 14.5 percent alcohol. The gist: Ideas about balance and restraint in one grape don't always apply to others.
Enter Mosel Riesling. If Zinfandel's stigma is its natural ability to accumulate higher alcohol, Mosel Riesling's is its sugar levels. In post-white Zinfandel America, the word "sweet" has been vilified, to a degree (lest we forget that Moscato is having a moment), as a word synonymous with cheap, low-quality wine.
It's no wonder then that "Not All Riesling Is Sweet" has become the unofficial tagline of sommeliers and retailers looking to convert customers who do their best eww face when they think of sweet wine. I get it, I was once a giver of the eww face, and I am all for providing Riesling a route to the heart of a consumer. But understanding the role of residual sugar in achieving balance in Mosel wines is crucial to understanding why they are unique.
Dry styles of Riesling are well-suited to the Rheinhessen, Pfalz and eastern Rheingau where the soils are typically heavier and the climate warmer; both of these factors make for rounder, more powerful wines that have the weight and fruit to balance acidity when the wines are vinified dry. But in the Mosel, where the climate is cooler and soils are predominately blue slate, the wines are leaner and more delicate and possess acidity levels that are often so high they redefine the word as it applies to wine.
Balance here does not come from the rounder fruit that a region like the Pfalz can achieve, but from residual sugar, which Mosel producers aptly refer to as "fruit" and not sweetness. It cushions acidity in much the same way. It's also what makes these wines the sort that simply can't be cut from any other cloth.
"You can get dry wines from everywhere—from Australia, from Austria—but these elegant, fruity wines from the Mosel are unique in their style," said Robert Eymael of Weingut Mönchhof and Joh. Jos. Christoffel Erben. "Dry Mosel Riesling is not unique. In a dry wine you taste more the alcohol, the minerals and the acidity, but you don't have the fruit to balance it."
This is not to say that truly great dry wines aren't made in the Mosel. Willi Schaefer's 2011 Graacher Himmelreich Grosses Gewächs (a designation that denotes a dry wine from a top vineyard) is one of the best Rieslings I've had, period. There are many, and we're likely to see more if the climate continues to warm. But understanding balance in Mosel Riesling still has much to do with understanding that the wines present residual sugar in a different way than most wines do. And it's the unique balance that the wines achieve when sugar levels are especially high that, in my opinion, makes Mosel Riesling the best in Germany.
"I call it the margarita effect," said Nik Weis, the owner and winemaker at St.-Urbans-Hof. "It's sweet, sour and salt all working together such that you never think too much about [each] one."
Like a margarita, sweeter styles of Riesling from the Mosel create a mouthwatering sort of pungency, so much so that many Rieslings at spätlese sugar levels—which generally hover around 65 to 70 grams per liter of residual sugar, though this can vary considerably—still register more tart than sweet. To say it differently, sweetness in spätlese Mosel Riesling is nothing like sweetness in Sutter Home White Zinfandel, which has sugar levels hovering in exactly the same range.
I'll admit, this "margarita effect" wasn't always easy for me to grasp. It was a combination of my aversion to the idea of sweet wine and my frustration over not being able to identify the vineyard site in the fruitier wines quite as clearly as I could with the dry wines. It's there, it's just not broadcast in HD like it is when the wines fall below 9 grams of residual sugar, the level at which the wine will register as dry to most palates. With more experience that became obvious. But it took time.
Part of bringing German Riesling forward in America will depend on consumers being able to cross the Khyber Pass between dry Riesling and the fruitier styles. It can be done. My advice is to start with the Mosel wines labeled as kabinett feinherb or halbtrocken (though this term has largely gone out of fashion in favor of feinherb). These wines typically find their balance between 9 to 18 grams of residual sugar and are a great sweet spot for the Mosel, particularly from the 2011 vintage. Add spicy food, ease in, and try and make it to the other side. It's delicious over here.
Alan Gavalya — Hampton, VA — November 19, 2012 8:29pm ET
Thanks Talia for a bit of validation. I have been on the "delicious side" since I began enjoying wine in the 70's. That more than a few wine aficionados don't recognize the superb balance in fine Mosel Rieslings is difficult to accept. The fact that these whites age well is an added bonus. I just received the C. VON SCHUBERT Riesling Qualitätswein Trocken Mosel Maximin Grünhäuser 2010. I was surprised that even in this cool vintage Kim Marcus recommends a drinking window of 2014-2024. Can't wait to see how this one plays out.
Harvey Steiman — San Francisco, CA — November 20, 2012 2:43am ET
It's been my experience that wine drinkers who love sweet wines like the ones described here are either (a) so unsophisticated that haven't learned that they're not supposed to like them or (b) so sophisticated they know better. There's a reason why every sommelier in Las Vegas can be found at Lotus of Siam eating fiery Thai dishes and drinking.....spätlese and auslese Rieslings!
Patrick Frenchick — Montogomery MD — November 20, 2012 12:32pm ET
After reading the two "balanced" blogs it seems to me the discussion is back to where it started...balance depends upon the grape, the location, the food and the person. Arbitrary benchmarks like alcohol levels (which if taken from the bottle label are only guidelines) or sugar or acid detract from the wine and the skill of the winemaker.
Maybe some of this is driven by critics that have a preference, like no high alchol wines? But if the alcohol is balanced with the other components of the wine and it goes with food you are having, isn't that balanced?
David Rossi — Napa, CA, USA — November 20, 2012 2:40pm ET
Harvey was right when he said "(a) so unsophisticated that haven't learned that they're not supposed to like them or (b) so sophisticated they know better.".
Concise and on the mark.
James Peterson — San Antonio, Texas — November 28, 2012 12:01am ET
We lived near the Mosel when I was in the Air Force, and we became friends with the Prum family of Joh. Jos. Prum (wish I could do the required umlaut). We just opened a 2001 Wehlener Sonnenuhr Spatlese on Thanksgiving (96 pts in WS). Still phenomenal. I have 2000 Auslese, 2001s, 2004s, and 2005s, split between Wehlener Sonnenuhr and Graacher Himmelreich. Best wines on the Mosel if you ask me, and great people too.
Austin Beeman — Maumee, Ohio — December 2, 2012 5:46pm ET
As a wine retailer for most of the last decade, I have discovered that, if I can walk the White Zin / Moscato drinker into Mosel Riesling, they will eventually join the world of dry wine drinkers.
If I try to jump them immediately into a dry wine, they won't make that leap.
I've found that the wines of Max Ferd Richter in the Mosel do that job nicely.

AUBURN (AP) -- There's a fresh effort to make the Harriet Tubman Home in Auburn a National Historical Park.
U.S. Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand introduced a bill with Maryland's senators that would bestow the honor on the central New York site. The House sponsor is Rep. Dan Maffei.
The bill also would create the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad National Historical Park in Maryland.
Tubman led hundreds of slaves to freedom as part of the Underground Railroad. She is buried in Auburn.

I am always so hopeful that young cooks with a lot of passion and talent will write books that help to transform the North American diet in a positive way. That is why I have to admit that I am more than a little disappointed in the two finalists for this year's Piglet. Not because the authors are not talented, both obviously are, but because both books seem to contribute to feeding our addiction to sugar and fat. I am predictable and I always want to celebrate books and cooks that are helping people to fall in love again with fruits and vegetables. It will then come to no surprise that I hoped that Nigel Slater's wonderfully thoughtful Tender would make it to the end.
Both books — Momofuku Milk Bar and The Art of Living According to Joe Beef — have forewords by my friend David Chang and I enjoyed the personal reflections on the characters behind the restaurants. Christina Tosi's introduction and personal story about how she came to Momofuku Milk Bar is refreshingly matter of fact, unaffected and concise. In her words you begin to get a sense of an organized mind at work, something that is reflected in the precision of her recipes. All pastry chefs have that same kind of focus but the truly clever ones are also creative, a quality that Christina has in abundance. Sadly, it is in the ingredients that Milk Bar really loses me — it seems that they don't have real ingredients in their pantry. I understand the creative appeal of turning something bad into something surprising but I can't support the choice of highly processed ingredients when fresh and organic ones are increasingly so readily available. Across the board the Milk Bar recipes are too rich, too sweet, and just too intense for me. The fact that "Crack Pie" is their most famous recipe is quite telling.
When I first opened Joe Beef the page I landed on was Smoked Cheddar with doughnuts, an ominous sign. Many of the recipes in The Art of Living According to Joe Beef are heavy-handed and high in fat, but not all of them. As I leafed through the pages I came to be charmed by their story and the unconventional way the book is laid out. There is a sense of history to the book and their deep love of Montreal is evident throughout. There is richness in detail and usually a lovely idiosyncratic story for each recipe that makes the book as much of an engaging read as a straightforward cookbook. I loved the story of "Building a garden in a crack den" and the recipes that accompanied that chapter like Pickled Rhubarb, Carrots with Honey, and the lovely Herbes Salees. They speak with such affection about how they have replaced "pop cans, plastic bags, and cigarette butts that littered our yard with tomatoes, kale, and turnips." They say that building their garden was "not an environmental statement" but whether they want it to be or not, to me and I am sure to many who read this book, it is.
Appropriately, the decision between who wins the Piglet award this year between Joe Beef and Milk Bar came back to crack, and ultimately, I would rather be building a garden from a den than to be an addict.
It is my honor and pleasure to announce the winner of this year's Piglet is...The Art of Living According to Joe Beef.
Alice Waters, owner of Chez Panisse Restaurant in Berkeley, California, has championed local, sustainable farms for over four decades. She is also the founder of the Edible Schoolyard at Martin Luther King Middle School in Berkeley, a model public education program that brings children into a new relationship to food with hands-on planting, harvesting, and cooking. Waters is also the author of ten books including 40 Years of Chez Panisse: The Power of Gathering, The Art of Simple Food: Notes and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution, and The Edible Schoolyard: A Universal Idea.

SQUEAL!!! That was an ambivalent exclamation. I couldn't be happier to see Joe Beef win or sadder to see Milk lose. What I'm most proud of is that the final round came down to these books. I hear what our peerless, gracious, and wise judge Alice Waters is saying about health and moderation and ingredients and crack, but I do think one thing these volumes both do is highlight a certain slow aspect of cooking. These are recipes to be pored over as both readers and as cooks. They can't be tackled in a half-assed manner; only with love, attentiveness, and time. They are directions for those who truly enjoy cooking (or would like to) and they yield results for those who truly love eating, and doing so together. And as much as I too adore Tender, I see it as a the sort of cookbook that reflects where we have been the last couple of years, and, to some extent, where we still are. What Christina Tosi, Frédéric Morin, and David McMillan have produced are cookbooks that show us where we're going. It's exciting, and, in part, it's why we started this tournament; to mark and celebrate such moving forward.
We want to thank all of our generous, brave, and generally awesome judges for making this year's tourney as entertaining and enlightening as it has been. And we also want to remind everyone how much all 16 of the cookbooks nominated mean to us. We only pick the ones we love ourselves.
WTG Joe Beef, totally visit this restaurant when you come to Montreal, quite an event in it's self! Stunning food, great decor and super service. Joe Beef himself would be VERY impressed! Google: "Joe Beef" a song by the East End Radicals here in Montreal, the story of his life is depicted in the song. Montreal rocks!
No disrespect but I could not disagree more that nut brittle pie crusts, freeze-dried corn powder and crack pie are the "future" of cooking. The recipes in Milk Bar are off-putting in the extreme. In my opinion apart from health issues they are not even appetizing. Even the photos are nauseating. I am a young home cook and neither I nor my friends eat like this or care to eat like this, and my kids won't ever either (maybe hipsters with a bad hangover might). This cookbook is more like a regression to the fantasies of a sugar-addled 8-year-old than a picture of "where we are going." While you could interpret her cooking as "post-modernist" or "avant-garde" it is supposed to be food, and first and foremost food should be edible and appetizing. Where food fails to do this, technique and "innovation" can go to hell. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
As to Alice Waters' comments, she was asked to judge between these cookbooks and this entails giving her honest review of each book. What else would you honestly expect her to say? At least she was candid. The only pettiness I detected was inserting mention of her favorite (which she has blurbed all over the place) into a judgment that did not concern it.
I haven't read or seen Momofuku milk bar cookbook but will certainly keep an eye opened for it. What I know is Joe Beef's cookbook and restaurant. I went through the book in a shop in Montreal and really liked the layout, the photos and the fact that there were stories explaining the context/philosophy of the two chefs.
I have to say I was probably quite sold on Joe Beef's cookbook because of 2 absolutely wonderful and unforgettable evenings at the restaurant. Fred Morin even came to salute us. I could feel how much he cares about food, his restaurant, his people and his town.
That love for Montreal was then confirmed in a recent interview he gave following the announcement of the prize winner. About Montreal, he said "It's important to us to get the message across to people in North America that Québec exists. That our francophone culture is an old one, and the history of dining in Montréal is very old and food is generally really important to the people of Québec City and Montreal. Dining in America I feel sometimes is not so old. Like dining in Las Vegas didn't exist really twenty years ago. Dining in the boroughs of New York City didn't really exist 25 years ago. Dining in Philadelphia is relatively new. Whereas French food in Montréal, in the old port, there are restaurants there that have going strong since the twenties or the thirties. We're just trying to communicate our love for French cooking in Montréal, somehow". I can't agree more. Vas-y Joe!
While I find both poor choices among a bevy of new and interesting cookbooks I would certainly agree that Joe Beef provides the lesser of two evils. I'm an avid cookbook reader and primarily borrow from my local library. I have the Momofuku Milk Bar book on my counter now and honestly, the only recipe I could stomach trying was the cornflake chocolate chip marshmallow cookies. The name says it all and these were awful, albeit a good way to use up a box of cornflakes left here by an overnight guest and yuk, Milk Powder? It left me yearning for a green salad for dessert. Even with all that gooiness, my kids were not impressed. Pretty disappointing choice for a runner up.

It is disheartening to see that it came down to the over-hyped superstars who need no help or support to continue their success. How about if next year you seek out people who are self-publishing either in .pdf format or in e-books? For my money and time, no one really needs to read anymore about David Chang and his empire or the Joe Beef boys. Food52 is becoming more and more like the Food Channel on a daily basis and it saddens, disturbs and even irks me to see the same old faces reviewing the books, writing the books and receiving all the accolades that they hardly need. There are enough "Good Old Boy networks in all our other walks of life and it is ironic and ugly to see in happening in the food world as well.
Beef wins...Milk loses. Hmmm. Some kind of symbolism for a kinder and gentler world?
Sorry the vegetarian in me couldn't help but comment.
Nothing to do with cooking skills involved. Stictly the symbolic coincidence involving the names.
Either way, the cow wins...
I'd be fascinated to understand how the cow actually "wins" in the beef scenario. :-)
I must say that what I admire most about Ms. Waters is her absolute uncompromising vision about everyone's right to eat good food. She is absolutely right in her concerns. People don't understand how far reaching the consequences are when children eat a steady diet of bad food. In addition to predisposing them to diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and other nutritionally related problems, it can actually interfere with their cognitive development. This is because the body uses fat from the diet to form the connections between brain cells, and the fat from fast food is so denatured and unlike anything from nature that the body can't manufacture what it needs with it.
I wish people wouldn't criticize Ms. Waters as being elitist or out of touch. Health is dependent on the nutrition available from good food, and how we continue to produce and distribute the food we eat will determine the fate of the earth, for better or worse. By eating bad food we are poisoning our bodies, and by growing it irresponsibly and sending it thousands of miles away, we are poisoning the planet. We need people like Ms. Waters to wake us up and show us the way.
Indeed, Witloof, I could not possibly agree with you more; from a completely subjective, personal standpoint, I count Ms. Waters as the single greatest influence on me --- the way I think about food and prepare it, and certainly how I think about it from a more political point of view. I worship Elizabeth David and Richard Olney and Judy Rogers and so many others, but no one has had the kind of impact on me that Ms. Waters has. From an objective point of view, I think she's done more for the way Americans think about food on the whole, than, perhaps, anyone else save Julia Child (at her time, and place).
Still, given the Piglet as a competition involving many different kinds of books that might not, on the immediate face of it, appeal to Ms. Waters, I think her inclusion as judge was misguided: I'm a HUGE fan of Tender, and I don't go near much of the ingredients in the first place and second place books. That said, in the spirit of competition, the authors should be applauded for their success, as opposed to scolded. Perhaps that's not the way Ms. Waters intended her response to come off, but unfortunately, it did. That said, these comments take absolutely nothing away from who Ms Waters is, and what she's done.
Agree that perhaps Alice Waters wasn't the right person to review these two cookbooks. There's no point in moaning over Alice's agenda--it was set years ago, and she's not about to change now. It's what makes her so admirable and at times annoying. I am surprised TENDER didn't go all the way. It's my choice of best cookbook of the year--a book to read and to cook from with appealing recipes, and a voice to inspire the cook.
While I'm not at all surprised by Alice's issues --- who among us who know her work and what she stands for COULD be surprised --- what I'm saddened by is her verbalized disappointment at the outcome of the Piglet, which strikes me as being plain old bitter. I have a HUGE amount of respect for her that she stands, unwaveringly, by her principles, but perhaps the choice of Alice as judge for a list of books that included many very much NOT in tune with the CP aesthetic just wasn't the wisest of moves. Like them or don't like them, the finalists should have been applauded for their accomplishments, not the least of which is getting readers into the kitchen. And this day and age, that's no small potatoes. I'm not a huge Milk Bar fanatic, and while I eat meat, it's only infrequently. Still, I say ROCK ON, guys! And congratulations!
What's missing from this discussion as well as Ms. Waters' consideration of Tosi's book is that Momofuku desserts are self-consciously postmodern in their approach: a mixture of "high" and "low" ingredients, an integration of mass-produced and processed food with organic and sustainable products, irony, whimsy and a playful attempt to disorient the eater's expectations of what dessert should be. Ms. Waters' approach is nothing like this (her keywords are sincerity, authenticity, simplicity, etc.) What's a shame in this review is that Waters implicitly attributes this difference to a lack of moral or culinary integrity on the part of Tosi rather than a difference in aesthetic or ideological methods. I think it's this collapse of the moral with the aesthetic that drives me crazy about Waters: as much as I appreciate her food and her contributions to the culinary landscape, I wish she would stop posing as moral crusader when it comes to recognizing and appreciating other chefs.
Let's thank Alice Waters for a reasoned and thoughtful decision. I read every Piglet review this year, and found that personal philosophies dominated them all. Some reviews gave short shrift to a book, but I think if you look at the design of the Piglet, it's all about opinions.
We're not electing a president here -- you can go out and buy any book you wish, and you will!
I completely agree with you, susan g. The Piglet is good fun - we get a peek at some new cookbooks that we otherwise would not know about, plus we get to read the opinions of some wonderful food writers. Let's acknowledge that because of this exposure to the world via Food52, every single one of these cookbooks is a winner of sorts. Go out and buy the ones you like. As for me, I agree with Alice, but I already own Tender. (and I love it)
AntoniaJames is a trusted source on Bread/Baking.
Thank you, Charlotte, for these thoughtful comments, and for all of your work in pulling off this amazing event. The all-star lineup of judges brings to mind a comment reportedly made by John F. Kennedy, when he was entertaining a large group of Nobel prize winners at dinner at the White House in the spring of 1962: "I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." ;o)
Thank you for that, Antonia. (Love the quote too. Giggles on TJ.) Amanda, Merrill and I have such fun working on the Tournament, and we want to pass that (along with our love of cookbooks) on.
With all due respect, what a very disappointing review. It might have been better to have her judge earlier on in the competition as well as have her test several recipes.
No harm, no foul. But let's hope there's a lesson learned here.
I agree - I LOVE Alice Waters, love her! But I was surprised by this review - not least that she doesn't mention cooking any of the recipes from either books. I am late to this piglet party, so perhaps I have missed this point, but are the judges, in fact, supposed to judge these books by their covers? (so to speak)
Alice Waters picking Joe Beef as the winner almost seems like a left-handed compliment - "this is the one I dislike less"....not to mention that I got the feeling in her reviews that she didn't even cook any recipes but only read the books. Yes she is a American culinary icon, but maybe the wrong person for this job.
What a disappointing end to the wonderful Piglet Tournament of Cookbooks!
You're from New York....Am I right?
Reading the responses to Alice Waters' review is very interesting. I think the conflict derives from the criteria...for a cohesive 'contest,' the expectations need some consistency....or at least as much as possible, given the variety of judges/points of view. Perhaps Alice Waters isn't the most appropriate choice for the finale. Not to slight her - she's near goddess-like to me, and no doubt could make a persuasive case that her criteria ought be relevant to all culinary endeavors. However, it seemed rather out of context within this particular challenge. Had her standards informed the competition earlier on - rather than feeling like the rules suddenly changed - I think the response would have been better. Oh well....we're all on a learning curve here, and frankly, that's a big part of what makes this community so interesting and engaging. I learned much from reading the diverse reactions of Ms. Waters' review.
Not being American/living in America (or Europe anymore...), the piglet's really educated me on what's new ont he block but also introduced me in some depth to the Judges and some of their 'iconic' attributes. Interesting to hear the conversation a la comments.....I did enjoy the piglet and though I cannot afford the space to buy yet another cookbook, I'll be browsing some bookstores in the future to see them up close and personal.
i enjoyed the Piglet a lot this year and have ordered a few of the books myself (Momofuku Milk Bar and Super Natural). It seemed like an excellent group of books overall this year, many of which I would like to check out now.
This morning I was wondering who would win, but then I remembered that Alice Waters was judging so I was pretty sure it would be Joe Beef. I figured a cookbook about super sweet desserts where glucose is a common ingredient wouldn't really rank high with her.
Alice Waters deserves a lot of credit for her historical contribution to the Bay Area, to the nation, and to our collective food culture -- and by historical, I mean in the past. But as this review now proves conclusively, Ms. Waters is nothing more than a one-note caricature at this point, and she has absolutely no business judging cookbooks by chefs who are extraordinarily creative, chefs who can intelligently employ sophisticated cooking techniques, and chefs who are trying to move beyond producing dishes that consist only of "fresh, organic, sustainably produced ingredients, simply prepared." It's little surprise to me that Ms. Waters didn't try to make any of the recipes in these books, as they are far more involved than simply tossing some pristine vegetables in some pristine olive oil.
Don't get me wrong -- there is certainly a time and place to have spectacular ingredients that have been minimally manipulated, and Chez Panisse may still be doing a fine job in this regard. But that is NOT the be-all-and-end-all of cooking, it is NOT the only style of cuisine that one may want to experience forever more, and it is clearly NOT the aspiration of the two cookbooks that made it to the final round. For Ms. Waters to unbendingly bring her singular frame to this task and then forcibly apply it to cookbooks that strive to be so much more is, frankly, preposterous. It was a mistake to have her participate in this tournament as a judge.
Being a honored winner of the piglet... I must say:
There is wisdom on the harsh words of Alice Waters, our craft is sometimes on the edge of uncertainty just for the sake of being modern, innovative.
There is to much junk out there. We must protect the young of so much food indoctrination.
Rather split my peach with my fingers than with a knife, an assert my food on the plate with less touching and no decor. Opposites will keep the roots of food, at the end, the only reason to eat handsomely is to share food and witty talk with loved or interesting friends and people. Lets forget the fuss.
Hello and thanks to all from the southern tip of South America.
I did enjoy all that writing.
Chef Mallman: As somebody who has used, enjoyed and planned an entire dinner around your cookbook, I must respectfully disagree with your apparent suggestion that we cast the modern, the innovative, the uncertain, and even the "fuss" out of our cooking. There is undoubtedly great value in a finger-split peach, charred and plated with no decor and enjoyed fireside; there is equal value, however, in the meticulously prepared and plated food of a Pierre Gagnaire, a Thomas Keller or a Grant Achatz (to name but a few), enjoyed in sumptuous surroundings. Variety is, as they say, the spice of life, and those who advocate only one narrow form of cooking -- or dining -- are missing out on the rich complexity that is the human experience. I say enjoy it all, and most importantly -- as you say -- share it all with loved ones and interesting people.
Inspired by The Morning News' Tournament of Books, we got together with
our friend Charlotte Druckman and created the Tournament of Cookbooks.
Here on Food52, you can watch the action and weigh in on the results as
the 16 most notable cookbooks of the year vie for the coveted Piglet
trophy. The tournament features top food writers and chefs as judges.
Play will take place over the course of 3 weeks, with a decision
published each weekday.

LARRY BATES has upgraded foodservice at RIDDLE VILLAGE by:
• Fostering a team atmosphere where managers have the freedom to be creative
• Adding dining venues and amenities to prevent resident boredom
• Implementing the flex dining program, where residents have a certain dollar amount to spend each month
• Increasing menu options and adding upscale items
Larry Bates, Riddle VillageHaving the right person in a leadership position makes all the difference, according to Gloria Tursi, assistant dining director for 500-resident Riddle Village. "With the wrong person here—and we've had them—there's no sparkle, no wow," Tursi says. She is quick to point out that the right person—Larry Bates—is now at the helm at this retirement community in Media, Pa.
During the past seven years, the management team at Riddle Village, under the leadership of Bates, director of dining services, has evolved into a cohesive unit. "Larry isn't on top of me or the management team," Tursi adds. "He lets us flow. He asks for everyone's input. It makes us feel that he appreciates our thoughts. It makes everyone happy that he's not a one-man show. We've had many directors so it's easy to see that, because there are some managers who don't even entertain the idea that you have a thought. It's all their thoughts."
For his part, Bates knows the department can't be successful unless there's a team effort. "In reality the culinary team are the ones who make it happen," he says.
Creating that collaborative management team has enabled the foodservice department at Riddle Village to implement a host of changes in the past couple of years.
Adding options: Bates has been in foodservice since the age of 14, when he "realized he could make more money washing dishes than throwing newspapers." The first part of his culinary career was spent working in hotels, restaurants and country clubs. After enduring the long hours of a chef in the commercial scene, Bates moved to healthcare foodservice in 1995. In 2005 he joined Riddle Village.
"When you go to a restaurant it is the way it is, but next week you can choose to go somewhere else," Bates says, adding that his residents don't have that option. "We want to keep [our operation] fresh and new. We try to reinvent the wheel for them."
To combat resident dining boredom, Bates and his team have created multiple dining venues and programs.
Instead of one main dining room, Riddle Village has two dining rooms, a buffet service, café and lounge. The second dining room opened in 2009 to give residents another dining venue.
The Garden Terrace Café is open for lunch Monday through Saturday, dinner on Sunday and breakfast on Wednesday and Friday. Bates says the menu at the café is similar to what you would find at any diner. Seating is available and some grab-and-go items are offered. Breakfast is a new service at the café. Bates admits that not many residents take advantage of the breakfast option, but his philosophy is to offer the residents the greatest number of dining choices possible.
"For us it's about serving the residents and them enjoying the program," Bates says. "We look at [adding these programs] as an improvement of service, and that improvement in service helps market the facility. By marketing the facility through the services you increase your occupancy."
The lounge, called the Thoroughbred Club, was added four years ago as another way to increase service. The lounge is open between 3 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. The management team conceived the lounge as a place where residents could grab a drink before dinner or while they were waiting to be seated at the Governor's Inn, Riddle Village's formal dining room. The lounge offers a full bar, as well as appetizers. Bates says that the lounge has two waves of customers, one before dinner and one after. He adds that because most of the lounge's customers are regulars, Bates' team decided to add some boredom-beating variety to the lounge's menu. A four-week cycle of appetizers was developed by Tursi, and now residents "have something to look forward to, especially the regulars," she says.
Riddle Village has an extensive program of special meals. For example, a large brunch is served the second Sunday of every month. Every fourth Monday Bates offers a special lunch buffet. Instead of being served in the informal dining room where the buffet is normally available, the buffet is served in the Governor's Inn. This change of venue is important to keep things different for residents, Bates says. Every Friday between Memorial Day and Labor Day the team holds a cookout for lunch. Hamburgers, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese and ribs are some of the items offered.
Tursi says the team also makes every effort to make catered events special for residents. For example, one resident wants to do a 65th wedding anniversary lunch for a group of 45. "I asked her what her bridesmaids wore and what her colors were so that we could try to match," she says. " Whenever a resident wants to do something personal we always make it special."
Flex dining: After adding all the different options for the residents, Bates wanted to put even more control into their hands. He implemented a flex dining program a year ago that works like a declining balance plan on a college campus. Most retirement communities have a per-meal dining plan each month. If residents don't use all their allotted meals in the month, they "lose" those meals. Also, if residents only ate a bowl of soup at lunch and wanted a meal at dinner, that would count as two meals, instead of the resident being allowed to carry over money between meal periods.
With the flex dining program residents are given a certain amount of money allotment each month. They are free to use that wherever and however they choose. The program allows the residents the freedom to take advantage of all the different dining venues. For example, a resident could grab a drink and appetizer at the lounge before eating dinner in the Governor's Inn.
Another positive, Bates says, is that residents are using their flex dining plans to bring in family or friends to join them for a meal. That, in turn, helps market the facility to the outside community.
The flex dining program took the staff and residents some getting used to, Bates admits. The staff had to learn a new POS system, similar to what is used at any commercial restaurant. Bates says it took about three months for the residents to get used to the new program, but they have now come to love the flexibility. "The reality is they are making out better," he adds.
Bates says the residents have changed some of their dining patterns since the flex program started. More residents are eating in the buffet and the volume in the Governor's Inn has decreased slightly. "The more time that goes by the better they get at managing those dollars for their best interest," Bates says.
Menu changes: Because of the flex dining program, residents also have a broader choice of foods, many of them on the upscale side. Before the flex dining program it didn't make financial sense for Bates to offer certain dishes on the everyday menu. Now, Bates is able to offer dishes like filet mignon, shrimp cocktails and lobster tail because he can charge more for those items than for other options that are less expensive to produce.
The Governor's Inn offers four daily entrée options, along with an á la carte menu that has 13 options.
Even with all the changes to Riddle Village's dining program, Bates isn't slowing down. The café is scheduled for a complete remodel in the near future. That renovation, Bates says, will be yet another way residents can get more choices and have greater flexibility in their dining program.

Lately I have been restoring some antique tools that I had collected years ago and forgot about. I rediscovered them one day while cleaning the attic of my shop out. It was like Christmas morning all over again finding a forgot box (actually two) of vintage tools. I set out to bring these tools back to the original glory. I know that tool collectors advise against cleaning old tools - but hey there mine and I want them as display pieces for my woodworking shop. Recently I have restored an 1890 Hatchet manufactured by Germantown Tool Works (GTW). After removing all the rust and polishing the blade until it hade a mirror finish, I needed to replace the bevel on the blade before sharpening. This 60 grit wheel is perfect for that activity. Take a look at the work I did!

Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey meet with members of the Pentagon press. Questions from reporters address the situation in Afghanistan, the Middle East and budget sequestration.
The Secretary outlined additional cooperative military exercises that will take place between U.S. soldiers and allied forces in the upcoming months. In addition, he warned about the potential effects of sequestration and urged congress to act quickly to stop the upcoming "fiscal cliff."

we all love a mc donalds even if we do not say so. This one is ok as far as they go. The place can be busy at times but the kids just love the chicken nuggets and the ice creams are great for adults and kids. The staff seem ok and some times you just can not beat a mc donalds for price and speed of delivery. When you are bored with burgers you could try one of the deli sandwiches as they are very tasty and have to be freshly cooked. I noticed that the wedges instead of fries are back on the menu for a short time too.

Best in Chelmsford
10/09/2008 by vrobins
High Street McDonalds is in my opinion the best out of the three in Chelmsford. There are several till points which are all staffed in busy times so you never have to queue for long. The food is hot and fresh and very fast. I have a baby and pram and find the dining area staff always happy to help me out getting seated and they usually help me with my tray also. There is plenty of seating both upstair and downstairs and baby changing facilities. The store is looking a bit tired at the moment but there is due to be a refurbishment in the autumn which should make this restaurant even better. The best thing is the lattes are a fraction of the local coffee shop prices but taste just as good. So even on a budget I can still meet friends for coffee in town.

CREW Statement on Proposed Rules for 501(c)(4) Groups
Washington, D.C. — In response to today's announcement from the IRS proposing rules to bring greater clarity to the role of tax-exempt organizations in politics, CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan issued the following statement:
"Today's announcement is a long-overdue but important first step in resetting the broken rules governing political activity by non-profit organizations. CREW has long called for the IRS to fix the mess its current regulations have created.
"While these proposed regulations hold great promise, there is still much work to do. CREW will continue the fight to keep dark money out of our elections and will work tirelessly to achieve meaningful reform."

For the second time in three weeks, the Buena Vista football team will go up against a nationally ranked opponent when it travels to #12 Bethel University (1-0) on Saturday afternoon.
The two teams will be meeting each other on the gridiron for the first time since 2007 when it wrapped up a four-year series. That last meeting five seasons ago was in Storm Lake when BVU edged the Royals, 21-16.
The Beavers (0-2), who fell on the road last week, 38-14, to Concordia College-Moorhead, are working to keep getting better each week.
"We just need to keep getting more physical," says head coach Jay Anderson. "When you go up against some of these tougher and bigger-bodied teams, you have to stay physical. We also need better execution on first downs."
Following its season-opening loss against UW-Platteville when it turned the ball over five times, the Beavers had just one late turnover against the Cobbers, and Anderson says his offense has been working hard on sustaining longer drives.
"We've got to go out and get more than 50 snaps in a game," he says. "If we can execute better on our first down plays, to give us a second and medium, it would make things much easier for our offense to keep drives going."
The offense, which is averaging just more than 200 yards of total offense through two games, will be taking the field against a Royals team that is coming off a key 21-0 season-opening shutout at Wartburg College last Saturday and was named the DIII Defensive Team of the Week. A season ago, the Royals finished 8-2.
On the ground, BVU has averaged 77 yards per game as a team. Sophomore Dylan Barrett (Harlan, Iowa/Harlan) has chalked up a big touchdown run in each of the first two outings, going 57 yards for a score against the Pioneers, followed by his 71-yard scamper against the Cobbers. He's been handed the ball just 10 times on the year and has 139 yards and the two scores. Senior John Hill (Webster City, Iowa/Webster City) has carried a team-high 24 times for 58 yards.
Through the air, nine different players have caught at least one pass already this season, led by senior Logan Lehrkamp (Carroll, Iowa/Carroll) with seven for 152 yards. He and quarterback Bobby Brown (Storm Lake, Iowa/Storm Lake) hooked up last week for the team's first touchdown pass of the year - a 46-yard strike. Fellow senior Bo Darrow (Glenwood, Iowa/Glenwood) is next with five catches for 52 yards.
Bethel, meanwhile, held the Knights to only 188 yards of total offense and forced three turnovers. Seth Mathis recorded 12 stops, including one sack, to go along with an interception and a pass break-up.
On the flip side, the Beaver defense will face a Bethel team which used a strong passing day in its opener. Quarterback Erik Peterson completed 20-of-28 passes for 214 yards, including 10 to Mitch Hallstrom, who finished with 104 yards. Peterson also rushed eight times, including a 49-yard touchdown for the game's final score. As a team, however, the Royals finished with only 60 net yards on the ground.
"We just need to go out, be physical, and be sound with our assignments," Anderson added.
Brady Randall (Storm Lake, Iowa/Alta) and Nick Plueger (Le Mars, Iowa/Le Mars) each totaled 20 total stops against Concordia a week ago and have 30 and 29 on the year, respectively. One area on defense the team will look to make more of an impact in moving forward is the pressure to the back field. Heading into Saturday, the Beavers have only five total tackles for a loss.
The two teams are scheduled to kick-off inside of Royal Stadium at 1:00pm. It will be the final non-conference game of the year for BVU, which will open Iowa Conference play on Sept. 29 at Coe College, following its bye next week.

UN Ambassador Susan Rice, right, smiles as she is applauded, as President Barack Obama says what an excellent job she has been doing, before meeting with his cabinet, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012, in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington. Earlier, Rice continued her fight on Capitol Hill to win over skeptics in the Senate who could block her chances at becoming the next U.S. secretary of state. Republican lawmakers said they were even more troubled after face-to-face meetings with her over the handling of the Sept. 11 deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

While this doesn't look too comfortable, it looks like a pretty good way to save money on hotel costs. If this option was offered at colleges and universities in the United States for parents who are helping to move their kiddos into school, would you or your parents do it, or would the reservation at the inn a few miles from campus be kept? I have to say I think I'd do it in an effort to relive a bit of the camaraderie of dorm life from my college days, but I am just about positive my husband would not be on board with that plan.
In this photo taken Saturday, Sept. 3, relatives accompanying freshmen enrolling at Huazhong Normal University sleep in the gym on campus in Wuhan in central China's Hubei province. Many Chinese parents take time off from work to help their children during their college enrollment process.
