My wife's birthday is Friday and she requested Pulled Pork and Ribs for her birthday bash this weekend. I went ahead and knocked the butts out this past Saturday since it reheats so well out of the freezer. I'll just concentrate on the ribs and sides on the day of her party.
I can't remember if I've ever injected boston butts or not, but I went ahead and injected these with some Apple Juice to see if it added any flavor. I also went ahead and trimmed most of the fat off the butts so that way I could get better rub penetration and more bark on the final product.
Smoked everything up with a mix of Hickory, Cherry and Alder.
Rubbed them down with a homemade Apple Rub that I've been working on perfecting.
I smoked these up low and slow this go around since I didn't have anywhere to be on Saturday. The BGE maintained a 225-250 deg f grate temp the entire day. Once I got it dialed in, I forgot about it and did yard work. One of the great things about this grill.
Here are the butts about 4 hours into the smoke. I went ahead and peeked at them to make sure everything was cooking evenly, and I also inserted a digital thermometer into one of the butts at this time.
They started hitting their plateau and it was getting late, so I foiled them up toward the end. I already had some good bark on them anyways at the 169 deg mark.
Here they are finished:
Bone slid right out of both...
They just melted apart....very little effort was needed to pull these. Sorry, no pulled pix....it was late. But I will have plenty of pix of the final product this Saturday. Gonna be a good day....having some Pulled Pork, Baby Backs, Blue Cheese and Bacon Cole Slaw, and some Big Moe Cason's Peach BBQ Baked Beans! Everyone is invited.

Paraguayan javelin thrower and model Leryn Franco is hoping to be a three-time Olympic athlete in London this summer. Though she was discovered by a trainer at age 13, she didn't try javelin until three years later. In 2008 she became an Internet sensation during Beijing's Olympics, and now, at 30, she's the Nike athlete who set the Paraguayan national record for javelin throw and appeared in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Joining in her Olympic hopes are fellow Nike women and Olympic returners Shawn Johnson (gymnastics), Hope Solo (soccer), and Mariel Zagunis (fencing), plus newcomer Marlen Esparza (boxing).

Do not name the SBA as a plaintiff in any case.
Lenders must sue in their own name. If you will be naming the SBA as a defendant for any reason, notify SBA before filing the action.

- Confirmed Bankruptcy Plans
- Opposing Pleadings
For all loans, counsel will review attorney's fees and actual legal bills (even those under $10,000) to ensure that they are necessary, reasonable and customary (this includes post purchase reviews). If expenses are determined to be unreasonable, unnecessary or not customary they will be deducted from any purchase request. If the lender has already deducted them from recoveries, lender will be requested to reimburse the SBA for those fees and expenses deemed to be either unnecessary or unreasonable.
The following legal fees and expenses will not be reimbursed by the SBA;
- Any legal fees and costs incurred in an action brought against the SBA or in defending an action brought by the SBA.
- Any legal fees and costs incurred in joining SBA in the litigation by way of cross claim or counter claim.

A state of emergency
Published: January 29 2013 - 3:00AM
QUEENSLAND is again in the grip of a floods crisis with lives lost, cities and towns devastated and mass evacuations enforced.
Four people are confirmed dead and others remain missing; a three-year-old boy died in hospital after a tree fell on him and his mother in Brisbane; the cities of Bundaberg and Gympie have been inundated; and tens of thousands of homes and businesses in Brisbane, Ipswich, Maryborough and Rockhampton have been damaged or are under threat.
There were also fears for the lives of 1500 people in Bundaberg who defied orders to evacuate as floodwaters there were set to reach record levels.
The floods are the latest disaster in Australia's summer of crisis, with out-of-control bushfires continuing to threaten lives and property in Victoria and Western Australia. The north-east Victorian community of Violet Town was the most endangered, with a 2000-hectare blaze burning within 10 kilometres of the town.
New South Wales was next in line for ex-tropical storm Oswald as it tracked south menacingly towards Sydney on Monday night after wreaking havoc in Queensland. In the north of NSW, thousands have been isolated by flooding and were facing evacuation. Flood warnings were in place for eight of the state's river systems. In Sydney, emergency services were on standby as a severe weather warning was issued for the city.
The crises saw political leaders on the move, with Prime Minister Julia Gillard touring fire-ravaged Gippsland and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott filling sandbags in Brisbane. Treasurer Wayne Swan warned that the wave of natural disasters would impact on the federal budget.

Cranberry-Nut BreadThis bread is particularly delicious drizzled with orange glaze.
Preheat oven to 350°F. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt to WildSide+ jar and secure lid. Press "Pulse" 3–5 times for 2 seconds each. Pour dry ingredients into mixing bowl.
Add 1½ cups cranberries, orange, and orange zest to jar. Secure lid and pulse 3–5 times for 2 seconds each. Add eggs, granulated sugar, brown sugar, sour cream, and oil to jar and secure lid. Pulse 5–10 times for 2 seconds each.
Pour wet ingredients into mixing bowl with dry ingredients. Stir wet and dry ingredients just until blended. Add 1 cup cranberries and pecans to jar and secure lid. Pulse 3–5 times for 1–2 seconds each or until cranberries are chopped and chunky. Fold cranberries and nuts into batter.
Pour batter into two greased 8-x-4-inch loaf pans. Bake for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
Note: One key to making tender and finely crumbed quick breads is proper mixing. The optimal amount of mixing for muffins is just enough to blend the dry ingredients and wet ingredients but not enough to produce a smooth batter. Mixing the ingredients enough to produce a smooth batter may overdevelop the gluten and may result in spongy quick bread with peaked tops and tunneling.
When you are ready to mix the wet and dry ingredients in the mixing bowl, use a spatula to create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. The well creates a larger surface area for wet ingredients to combine with dry ingredients with a minimum of stirring.

Welcome back to Mets Chat Room.
There's certainly a lot on the table tonight. I have a new poll up on who should be Saturday's starter. Pedro Martinez is not an option so he is not included. … Amby Burgos is undergoing Tommy John this afternoon. … Endy Chavez is back, so the outfield rotation is a topic.
And, of course, there's the game. Time for Tom Glavine to step up. If you're the Mets you don't want the Phillies to even think they have a chance.
You're up. Talk with you throughout the game.

"Whatever you can rightly say about India, the opposite is also true" - Cambridge economist Joan Robinson (though the same could be said for any Asian country)
This meet-up has been running since 2008 and has a community of people interested in Books, Literature, Asian culture and Asian Life. The group is for anyone living in London or near London and is open to all nationalities and ethnicities. There is a variety of meet-ups and events orgainsed for this group, all related to books, literature or Asian culture in someway. The aim of this group is to provide a forum for debate and discussion, and to socialise and inform.
From March 2015, there will be a small charge of £1 to join each new event - this is to cover Meetup charges, so is not refundable. Anything left over once the charge is paid will be put towards events such as the Christmas party.
The meet-ups in this group are of five types:.
1. Monthly Book Club meeting.
This is a structured book discussion, held once a month, on a weekend. It is held in the afternoon on a Saturday or a Sunday at a Central London Location. It is hosted by different members in the Group. The host selects a book for the discussion and posts it on the meet-up site 1 to 3 months in advance. The book can be fiction or non-fiction, anything that is likely to generate a good debate and discussion. The books can be by authors from Indian Sub-continent, China, Japan, South East, Central Asia or the Middle East or books about these countries, any book with any kind of connection with Asia is permited. The host chairs the discussion with the objective making the discussion participatory, thought provoking and fun.
The book club meetings last for 2 to 3 hours, the formal discussion are followed by social drinks and most members usually also go out for dinner in a place nearby. Each meet-up is expected to have 10-20 people.
2. Meet the Author
From time to time we invite Authors for a book club meeting. The Authors can be established and successful authors or first time authors. The Meet the Author events are a Q&A and discussion session where we discuss one or more or the Author's books and their life and work. The meet the Author events can be on a weekend or a weekday and last for 2 to 3 hours.
It is expected that between 15 and 25 people would attend a Meet the Author Events
The meet the author events appear as featured events with the prefix Meet the Author followed by the name of the Author.
3. Regular Social Meet-ups
There are two types of regular social meet-ups:
The first is a monthly meet-up called the Monthly Social on the 5th of every month. The meetup is in a pub or wine bar, usually in the same location every month. There is no book to read for this meet-up, however the meet-up may have a current topic or theme nominated for the evening. The meetings are informal the topic or theme acts as a coversation starter but the discussion can be about anything and everything. On week days the meet-up starts at 6:30 pm and go on till approximately 9:30 pm. Members are free to drop in any time in between for a chit chat. On weekend they start at 5:00pm
The number of people attending the Wine and Wisdom evenings events can vary between a handful to over 30.
The second regular meet-up is called Food and Fiction, this is meant to me a small group book discussion over dinner. A book is nominated for this meet-up, and the number of people is limited to a maximum of six. Any member can suggest a book for a food and fiction evening and set-up the meet-up. There is at least one food and fiction evening every month,
4. Events
Any member is free to suggest and set-up an event which they feel may be of interest to other members of the group. These could be talks, exhibitions, films, cultural events or any other occasion remotely connected to books, authors or Asian culture. The events can be hosted events, where the host takes the responsibility of co-ordinating and managing the meet up or posted as for information only, that is not hosted, members can choose to go to these events if they wish but there will be no person co-ordinating or managing the meet-up.
Hosted events are posted on the meet-up with a prefix Event (hosted), the RSVP feature is enabled and the host is responsible for providing all the details of the events, such as tickets, where to meet and other details.
Non Hosted events will appear with a prefix Event (for Info). RSVPs to these events are blocked. If you are planning to go to one of these events you can post a comment and arrange to meet other people going to these events.
5. Special Events (Trips and Parties)
The book club also organises special events such as trips to literary or art festivals, in the UK or overseas. Each year there is a regular trip to the Hay-on-Wye literary festival in May and the Edinburgh fringe festivals in August, and other trips to places like Italy and India have also been organised in the past. These are fully organised trips, all the details including prices, itinerary, what to expect are posted on the meet-up site and it is advisable to book these well in Advance as places are limited.
The Book Club also has a few large group social get togethers every year. Traditionally there has been Book Club anniversary party in October and Christmas Party in December, however parties or picnics to mark other occasions may also be organised from time to time. These parties are at various venues around London.
All Special Events appear with the prefix Special Event and are marked as featured events and will appear on top of the list of meet-ups.

Samsung Bringing Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus To US: 1.2 GHz Dual-Core Tablet For $399by Jason Inofuentes on 10/21/2011 1:36 PM EST
12 Comments
Back to Article
Ragin69er - Friday, October 21, 2011 - linkI was really hoping we would see the 7.7" galaxy tab here sooner. I'm very enticed by its AMOLED screen but I like that this features an IR blaster as I still have to turn on my TV using my remote before i can switch to my 7" tab for the remainder of control, and this would also be able to control my audio solution as well. Choices, choices.... maybe I should wait and see if the 7.7" comes out before I replace my current tab as I really like it and don't see the need to upgrade just yet. Reply
zorxd - Friday, October 21, 2011 - linkisn't it 1024x600 or something more widescreen than 1024x768? Reply
B3an - Friday, October 21, 2011 - linkWell yeah, because 1024x768 is not widescreen at all, it's 4:3. Reply
seamonkey79 - Friday, October 21, 2011 - linkDepending on whether you read or look at the article, it's both! Or neither!
Maybe it doesn't have any pixels at all... that would be different. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Friday, October 21, 2011 - linkSorry guys. Fatherhood and bloggerhood sometimes collide. Fixing. Reply
tiro_uspsss - Saturday, October 22, 2011 - linkno way to connect to telco/WWAN? :(
are there any ~7" Android tablets that have WWAN? I don't want ~10" - its too big for my liking! Reply
JasonInofuentes - Saturday, October 22, 2011 - linkBecause of the need for carrier testing and validation, the 3G/4G versions of these always come a bit later than WiFi. Samsung has partnered with T-mo and VZW for 3G/4G versions of the Tab 10.1 so it's plausible we could see one of these end up on either of those networks. This and an unlimited LTE plan = the hotness. Reply
kmmatney - Saturday, October 22, 2011 - linkI can't see this selling very well at this price. It's not much more for a larger screen 10" tablet, and there are many 7" alternatives at lower price points. Why buy this over a Kindle Fire at HALF the price? The Kindle Fire will be dual-core, and do most of the same things - minus the camera. Reply
shabby - Saturday, October 22, 2011 - linkTotally agree, and if amazon releases a subsidized 10" tablet for $250-300 it'll be game over for everyone else since amazon can recoup its loses from its services on the tablet while others cant. Reply
JasonInofuentes - Saturday, October 22, 2011 - linkAhh the Kindle Fire. As a media consumption device, you're totally right. The Kindle Fire is a great device and can provide some real price pressure to drive costs of higher end devices down. Trouble is, Amazon will make money on media sales on the device, and so they can price to compete. Samsung has their own media sales portals but they're not nearly as competitive, so they have to hope that you'll be wowed by the quality of their hardware, and software. We'll see how well they compare when we get them in. Reply
deV14nt - Monday, October 24, 2011 - linkThis is for people who want some chance in hell of ever getting Ice Cream Sandwich.
Kindle Fire will likely never run anything other than Gingerbread 2.3, which isn't even a tablet OS--it's for smartphones This starts with Honeycomb 3.2 and I'd imagine would get 4.0 very soon.
The 7.0" form-factor has some advantages over the larger sizes.People will choose the size they're more comfortable with. I'd imagine it's much more comfortable to use in bed, especially for typing. You can type in portrait more like you do with smartphones, with your thumbs. And without feeling like you're going to drop it. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple releases a 7" tablet at some point, well other than their seeming inability or unwillingness to create scalable interfaces in iOS. Okay, maybe they won't. Reply
deV14nt - Monday, October 24, 2011 - linkI should clarify. If and when Google open-sources Ice Cream Sandwich 4.x (which will never happen for Honeycomb 3.x), then Amazon can begin customizing it for the Kindle Fire. Samsung already has Ice Cream Sandwich customized for at least smartphones, and possibly tablets too. It may be ready before the end of the year for this device.
One thing that is guaranteed is that Amazon will tie the Chinese Android phone manufacturers and you and I for last to receive the ICS source code. That may be this year or it may be a year from now. It's up to Google. They can't be thrilled they don't get a cut of app sales or anything else from the Kindle Fire. Reply

Babies Are Born Scientists
New research methods reveal that babies and young children learn by rationally testing hypotheses, analyzing statistics and doing experiments much as scientists do
View videos featuring a webcast with Alison Gopnik of UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley research, Cristine LeGare's experiment with a future scientist, and Laura Schultz's studies on children's play.
Very young children's learning and thinking is strikingly similar to much learning and thinking in science, according to Alison Gopnik, professor of psychology and affiliate professor of philosophy at the University of California, Berkeley. Gopnik's findings are described in the Sept 28 issue of the journal Science. She spoke about her work in a video briefing with NSF.
New research methods and mathematical models provide a more precise and formal way to characterize children's learning mechanisms than in the past. Gopnik and her colleagues found that young children, in their play and interactions with their surroundings, learn from statistics, experiments and from the actions of others in much the same way that scientists do.
"The way we determine how they're learning is that we give them, say, a pattern of data, a pattern of probabilities or statistics about the world and then we see what they do," said Gopnik.
For example, in a series of experiments Gopnik and her colleagues used machines with the ability to light up and play music and asked young children to make them go.
"We found that like scientists, they tested hypotheses about the machines and determined which one was more likely," said Gopnik.
But before we rush to put toddlers on an earlier academic track, Gopnik's research shows that encouraging play, presenting anomalies and asking for explanations prompts scientific thinking more effectively than direct instruction.
"Everyday playing is a kind of experimentation--it's a way of experimenting with the world, getting data the way that scientists do and then using that data to draw new conclusions," said Gopnik. "What we need to do to encourage these children to learn is not to put them in the equivalent of school, tell them things, or give them reading drills or flash cards or so forth. What we need to do is put them in a safe, rich environment where these natural capacities for exploration, for testing, for science, can get free rein."
Gopnik's research was supported by NSF through the Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences directorate. In her paper Gopnik described the work of Laura Schulz of MIT, also supported by NSF through the Education and Human Resources directorate. Schulz's studies show that children's play involves a kind of intuitive experimentation where they examine things and events to discover cause and effect underlying them. A video showing some of her experiments is attached. It was part of a paper she published in Science last year, 16-Month-Olds Rationally Infer Causes of Failed Actions.
More details about Gopnik's work are available in a TED talk she gave last year.

Spider vision for robots is being developed at the California Institute of Technology by a group of engineers who are "turning to nature for help" in reducing the amount of computing power needed to analyse images formed in the micro-chip eyes of moving robots. According to a report in New Scientist, 31 March 2001, p20, the engineers have built a spring loaded image sensor chip that vibrates in the same way a jumping spider vibrates its retinae (the arrays of light sensitive cells at the back of the eyes). The moving chip can detect the changes in light and shade that make up an image much more precisely than similar chips that are kept still.
Editorial Comment: Artificial vision systems that can see and understand the surrounding environment are one of the most challenging aspects of robot technology. By studying vision in living creatures engineers have learned a lot. As a result they need to heed the warning given by the New Testament Apostle Paul in Romans 1, which warns that those who recognise God's work but fail to give thanks to Him become fools. By "turning to nature" engineers are benefiting from God's creative design and they owe Him the credit. Giving applause to "nature" is idolatry and sooner or later God will judge them for it. (Ref. vision, spider, design)

The Designer's Guide to Corsica
It's easy to get overwhelmed when it comes to fine art. What is good art? How do you find it? We're never quite sure. So we enlisted Sara Friedlander, VP and head of the evening sale in the post war and contemporary art department at Christie's (and, full disclosure, ELLE.com deputy editor Ruthie's big sis) to give us a run down of who's who in the art world. And what better time to get a primer than now, at the start of the Frieze Art Fair in New York. ( Frieze New York runs from May 9-12.) Here, Friedlander tells us what female artists we need to see at Frieze, should you be making your way to Randall's Island this weekend.

Nike's 'Dream Team' Collection
Celebrating 20 years since the USA's victory at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.
To commemorate the 20 years since the formation of the legendary, star-studded USA basketball team — known as the 'Dream Team', Nike have released a range inspired by the brand's 1992 collection worn by the team at the Barcelona Olympic games. In these threads, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson won every single game they played by an average of 44 points.
Their story began at a 1992 Olympic qualifying event in Portland, where the Dream Team defeated Cuba 136-57, prompting the Cuban coach to call the USA team a "perfect machine", adding (the now famous phrase) "You can't cover the sun with your finger." Translation — good luck beating these guys, ever. Once in Barcelona, the team were treated like rock stars and hysterical fans lined up outside their hotel. So heightened was their frenzy surrounding them, that they received terrorist death threats. A lot of them.
The Destroyer Jacket is undoubtedly the winner of this collection. The instantly recognisable wool and leather details of the jacket have made it one of Nike Sportswear's signature pieces, and each chenille patch tells a different about the team, from numbers of their 'starting five', to the designed-to-inspire phrase "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave".
Other parts of their epic story are referenced throughout the collection, from the AW77 Hoody, Crew Sweat, Tees and Caps. And if that isn't enough sportswear steez Nike are re-issuing the footwear styles worn by American ballers during the 1992 tournament and beyond. The re-released designs include Nike Air More Uptempo, Nike Shox BB4, Nike Air Force 180, Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2K4 and Nike Air Force 1 Hi.
The Dream Team footwear is available worldwide, however, the apparel collection is only sold in the US, Paris, China and Barcelona, so if you aren't in any off those places you better jump online or on a plane if you want to own a little piece of history.

Topic: Lauren and insurance.
We just got off the phone with FMLA people and Lauren's work insurance people. I won't go into the boring details, but she is still covered and will be covered by COBRA for 18mos. What they didn't tell me, but I read on here awhile back, is that if you are on Disability, you can get your COBRA extended for another 11 mos. after that for a higher price. You must submit a letter from Disability. I just wanted to say thanks to this site. Without you, I never would've known this. Just one of the little things they fail to tell you. I am finding out more and more, this is the case. So frustrating and we have enough to worry about already. But, we are strong and they will not knock us down!! Love you all and thank God for this site!
My comments, suggestions, and opinions are based on my experience as a caretaker for my daughter, Lauren and from reading anything I can get my hands on about Cholangiocarcinoma. Please consult a physician for professional guidance.

Some North Coast residents plan to watch Jay Leno's last night as host of The Tonight Show
Tonight, Jay Leno is saying goodbye to the "Tonight Show," a job he has held for 22 years.
Despite being number 1 in the ratings for the last 17 years, the host of the Tonight Show is stepping down. He is the only person to host the Tonight Show since Johnny Carson was the host. Thirty-nine year old Jimmy Fallon will be his replacement. We talked to people on the North Coast to see if they are going to watch Jay Leno's big finale. Which will air tonight on News Channel 3 at 11:34 p.m.
"Yeah, I'm going to watch it. I try to watch Jay whenever I get the chance and I don't have to work early the next morning. And he's just been around so long, he's just kind of been a part of the American story these days," said Eric Banko, who lives in Eureka.
"I may check it out just to see the end and see what he does. Maybe something crazy will happen on the last show," said Stacey Baskette.
"I think I will. I always like to watch the last ones when they go out and that type of thing and it's always fun to watch and they usually have a pretty good show," said Jim Reents, who lives in Eureka.

Juvenile jail slapped for leaving teen in leg ties, lockdown for days
Lawyer visits boy through slot in door; Director wonders if records were falsified
Art Cullen
, The Storm Lake Times
"It's all a lot of baloney. It's all unfounded."
~Carroll County Supervisor
Gene Meiners
How Carroll County relates...
County County has spent $11,475 for juvenile services at the Northwest Iowa YES Center so far this fiscal year. In the last fiscal year, from July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013, Carroll County spent $37,800 with YES.
March 21, 2014
A juvenile detention center in Cherokee supported by Carroll County is on probation for a month because it kept a 17-year-old boy in leg restraints for nearly 48 hours and locked up in solitary confinement for nearly a week.
The Iowa Department of Human Services filed notice on March 3 that the Northwest Iowa YES Center will receive a provisional and not a full license to operate until April 1. The Storm Lake Times received a copy of the notice on Monday.
A joint investigation of the Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals and IDHS found that a Crawford County boy who was at risk for suicide was left in a locked "control room" for more than an hour, violating rules, and was in leg restraints for up to 47 hours. Rules also state that a detainee should not be in restraints for more than an hour.
The report said that the incident occurred from Sept. 20 to Sept. 22, 2013.
The report also indicated that the boy was kept locked in his room for nearly a week when he was taken from the facility on Sept. 27. While in lockdown, there were several hours when nobody checked on him.
Management of the center, including the director and assistant director, said it was impossible that any child could be so treated. However, the director told investigators that she could not find documentation relating to the boy on her computer.
Later, the documentation emerged. The director told an investigator that she thought the daily activity logs had been tampered with. She said she was not at the center during some of the period in question.
Investigators interviewed several employees. They told the state authorities that they witnessed the boy in leg restraints during the duration of the 47 hours. They also reported that the boy was in lockdown unsupervised while YES Center employees hauled Mental Health Institute patients around.
At one point during the time frame the boy's lawyer tried to visit him. He was allowed to speak through a meal slot in the door. The lawyer said the boy was wearing no shirt, but he could not see if the boy was wearing pants or leg restraints.
Quoting the report, here is what led to the two-day lockdown:
"At 5:51 p.m. staff did a check on Child #1 in his room. At this time staff found Child #1 with one leg of his pants tied to his thigh and the other leg tied around his neck. His face appeared to be very red and he was grasping for air."
Staff freed him from the suicide attempt. He became combative, so the teen was placed in restraints.
It appears from the record that the boy was kept in the isolation room, or control room, from 6:01 p.m. to about 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 20. The boy was checked every five minutes during that period, documents state.
After that, he was returned to his locked room. He was offered a shower and clean clothes after four days in lockdown.
Despite being suicidal, no one watched the boy in his regular room from midnight to 7 a.m. on Sept. 22.
The boy told an investigator that he clearly remembers sleeping one entire night in leg restraints.
"Staff L went on to say he/she didn't think Child #1 had a blanket or mattress during either of these two nights and one night complained of being cold," the report states.
He was either in his locked room or the control room from Sept. 20 to Sept. 27, when the Crawford County Sheriff's Office came to retrieve the teen, according to the IDHS report.
"The Director stated she was well aware of the rules and length of time a child could be in mechanical restraints. She stated that neither she nor the Assistant Director would ever leave the detention with a child still placed in mechanical restraints. She said that if the restraints were on the child during the next 47 hours as documented, someone must have put them on the child without her knowledge," the report says.
The center is expected to live by its own rules in the future, according to the notice. The facility filed a plan of corrective action on Feb. 25. The plan was accepted by the investigating agencies.
The facility is a regional juvenile detention facility for suspected delinquents awaiting a court disposition. They have not necessarily been adjudicated to having committed a crime but they may be considered a threat to themselves or public safety. The center is supposed to be a temporary holding facility for counties that cannot afford the extra level of care that juvenile detention demands.
Two board members of the juvenile detention center in Cherokee defended the staff, management and operation of the facility after state investigators put the unit on probation for the month of March.
"Everything is solved. There was no basis for this. It's really well run," said Buena Vista County Supervisor Ken Hach when contacted by The Storm Lake Times on Wednesday regarding the Youth Emergency Shelter and detention facility that covers 14 counties in northwest Iowa.
"It's all a lot of baloney," concurred Gene Meiners, a Carroll County supervisor who also serves on the YES Center board. "It's all unfounded."
A representative of IDHS told The Storm Lake Times that the Cherokee center has provided a plan of action to the state correcting the cited deficiencies. When DHS is satisfied that the requirements are met, the center could receive its full licensure good for a year.
Hach has served on the YES Center board by virtue of his county supervisor job for the past seven years. He said he has always been impressed.
"The employees, the director and her assistant are just top-notch," said Hach, who is not seeking re-election this fall. "It's not an easy job."
The director of the center, Cheryl McGrory, has not responded to the censure publicly. Asked by The Storm Lake Times to explain the matter, she instead faxed a 14-page copy of another investigation of a juvenile detention center in Eldora from 2008 detailing some of the same problems. She has not addressed how the problems developed in Cherokee. McGrory told state investigators at first that she could not find daily activity logs on her computer relating to the Crawford County teen's stay from Sept. 20-27, 2013. Later, she said she found them. She offered that the records may have been falsified by someone other than her. She also said that if the boy were in leg restraints for 47 hours, someone must have shackled him without her knowing.
Meiners blamed the issue on "paperwork." He noted it is the first time in 23 years that the center has been degraded to a provisional license.
Other county supervisors held a different point of view.
"It looks like a month-to-month situation over there," said Buena Vista County Supervisor Don Altena, "and I wouldn't want to operate that way."
Buena Vista County Board of Supervisors Chairman Paul Merten sides with Altena. Merten serves on the board of the detention center in Eldora and has tried unsuccessfully to send Buena Vista juveniles to Eldora because it charges the county two-thirds less than Cherokee. At one point the Buena Vista supervisors refused to pay bills to Cherokee, which precipitated a lawsuit threat.
Merten said he has found that it is impossible for the county to dictate where juveniles are sent. The juvenile courts direct placement on recommendation from juvenile court staff. Merten said the county board is powerless to affect change at Cherokee.
He said that the center does not provide Buena Vista County with monthly updates or information.
Merten was caught unaware of problems at Cherokee until he saw a copy of the same report inspected by The Storm Lake Times on Monday.
He blamed a weak board, as did Altena.
"It's definitely the director running the board," Merten said.
"Board members can become complacent," Altena said.
Hach is a Republican. Altena, Merten and Meiners all serve as Democrats.
Merten said he offered to fellow supervisors to serve on the YES Center board before he decided to join the Eldora board.
"They told me that they don't want me on the board over there in Cherokee," Merten said, referring to other government officials.
Merten and Altena have been pushing to send short-term stays to Cherokee (up to four days) while longer-stay juveniles should go to Eldora. None have been sent to Eldora.
Buena Vista County Attorney Dave Patton explained that courts almost always will choose the closest detention center so a juvenile can remain as near as possible to his family.
The YES Center is on the campus of the Mental Health Institute in Cherokee. It is licensed for 15 beds.

Stem cell transplantation is the replacement of damaged
bone marrow cells with healthy cells, or stem cells. It is generally done after
powerful drugs have been used to wipe out the damaged immune system
Stem cells are immature cells that are produced
in the bone marrow. They can divide to produce more stem cells or mature into
red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Stem cell transplantation has serious
risks. After a person's stem cells have been collected from the bloodstream,
they are returned to the bloodstream along with a stem cell growth factor. If
successful, the stem cells help the bone marrow return to a healthy state.
But during the two weeks that the
immune system requires to become strong again, the
body is extremely vulnerable to life-threatening infection.
Small studies of stem cell transplantation for people with severe lupus have shown that it may help some people but it also has serious side effects.1 This procedure is considered a high-risk, expensive,
and experimental treatment for lupus.

SWOG Selects Sequenta's LymphoSIGHT(TM) Platform for Use in 180-Patient Mantle Cell Lymphoma Clinical Trial
SWOG Oncology Group Chooses LymphoSIGHT(TM) Platform to Measure Minimal Residual Disease
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 06, 2012 -- Sequenta, Inc. announced today that SWOG has selected Sequenta's LymphoSIGHT(TM) platform for the measurement of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) in a clinical trial.
The SWOG S1106 Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) trial, a cooperative group phase II clinical trial which incorporates Sequenta's technology, will recruit more than 180 patients across multiple participating clinical sites. All patients in the trial will undergo testing for MRD during treatment and for up to three years of clinical follow up.
"Sequenta's technology has the potential to deliver unprecedented sensitivity to detect residual disease after treatment," said study coordinator Steven H. Bernstein of University of Rochester Medical Center. "With this technology we will be able to develop and test new clinical paradigms for early intervention in those patients at greatest risk of early relapse."
The clinical trial, whose primary goal is to study the effectiveness of induction chemotherapy treatments before an autologous stem cell transplant, will help to validate the role of MRD in predicting time to progression in lymphoma.
All patients in the trial will be followed using Sequenta's LymphoSIGHT(TM) platform over the length of the trial. Sequenta will perform sequencing analysis on peripheral blood and bone marrow samples from the study. In addition, imaging studies will be used to measure disease progression.
"The selection of our LymphoSIGHT(TM) platform for use in this trial represents a significant step toward making our technology the clinical standard for sensitive MRD detection," said Sequenta CEO Tom Willis. "We look forward to seeing the platform launched commercially in 2013."
The LymphoSIGHT(TM) method utilizes a proprietary assay for the amplification and sequencing of immunoglobulin and T cell receptors, enabling ultra sensitive detection and monitoring of T and B cells. The platform leverages the power of next generation sequencing to detect individual B cells at levels as low as one cell per million white blood cells using a universal reagent set and routinely available blood samples. Previous results using the LymphoSIGHT(TM) platform have shown significantly improved sensitivity to detect residual disease compared to flow cytometry, with greatly improved workflows over current real time PCR assays.
SWOG (formerly the Southwest Oncology Group) aligns more than 4,000 physician researchers at more than 500 institutions to design and conduct large-scale clinical trials. It is one of the five cooperative groups that together comprise the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) National Clinical Trials Network.
About Sequenta, Inc.
Sequenta is a venture backed startup dedicated to improving patient care in diseases mediated by immune cells through measurements of lymphocyte diversity. It is commercializing its LymphoSIGHT(TM) platform for clinical use in Minimal Residual Disease while continuing to validate the use of its technology in a diverse set of diseases.

Truth be told, bagels don't necessarily come from New York. Or at the very least, they don't only come from New York. That said, most people associate the very best bagels with the Big Apple. And the secret to the bagel's popularity isn't really much of a secret, after all. Bagels are boiled in a water bath before baking. This is what gives them their characteristic super thin crust (flavored) and the chewy texture. Probably they originated in Eastern Europe and came to New York at the turn of the 20th century with the millions of immigrants coming by the boatload. I remember eating great bagels in Nova Scotia baked in the famous (at least to me) Bernie's Bakery I spoke about in previous posts. And that is very far indeed from New York, in both body and soul, so to speak.
Bagels are first cousins to bialys (or pletzel) also from previous posts. Yet, there is something special about the bagel. The hole in the middle is part of it, of course. Still the combination of the texture and its supreme utility as a platform for smoked salmon, cream cheese, butter or really just about anything, is what makes the bagel so very popular. It is in some ways, the ultimate bread-based snack food. Small, convenient and oh, so tasty!
Bagels as bread may seem even more complicated than regular yeast breads but that is not the case. Actually, there is only one real rise so they take less time than regular bread. By the way, the dough, when made into a regular loaf of bread is also supremely delicious. Enjoy!
Here's what you'll need: (for about 30 medium bagels)
1 or 2 large potatoes (about 3/4 pound - 350g - total)
2 1/2 cups water
2Tbs yeast
1 1/2Tbs sugar
1 1/2Tbs salt
7 to 7 1/2 cups bread flour or AP flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 large eggs
Egg glaze plus some seed toppings if desired
Here's what you'll need to do:
1. Peel the potato, cut into chunks, and boil in water until soft. Drain off 2 1/2 cups of the water, let it cool to 120F (55C). The potato can be used for something else.
2.Mix the yeast, sugar, salt and about 2 cups flour in a large bowl. Add the potato water and the oil then mix together. If using an electric mixer mix at medium speed for about 2 minutes, then add 1 more cup of flour and the eggs and beat for another 2 minutes.
3. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until you have a soft, smooth dough that 'cleans the bowl' is formed. Remove it from the bowl to a lightly floured surface and knead for a few minutes to develop the gluten and make the dough very smooth.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise until roughly doubled, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
5. Now for the fun part, forming the bagels. Deflate the dough, gently and remove it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into quarters, then each quarter into 6 or 8 pieces. Shape each piece into a round ball, then flatten into a disc. Poke your thumb through the disc, making the hole, then gently widen the hole (without breaking the circle of dough). Don't worry if each bagel looks slightly different, or if they slightly misshapen. These are homemade bagels after all. If you want factory-made, go to the grocery store!!
6. There is another school of thought on shaping bagels (of course!). The second method involves taking each piece of dough and forming a 'snake'. Pinch together the two ends to form a loop then roll the seam on a surface to unite them into one piece.
You choose, they both seem to work just fine for me! Either way, the dough does not now need a second rise.
7. Preheat the oven to 425F (220C). While the oven is heating, boil several quarts (liters) of water in a large pot. For New York bagels, add two tablespoons of either salt or sugar to the water. This gives the traditional taste to the ultra-thin crust formed by the boiling. In Montreal, they add 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the water, equally delicious I assure you.
8. Using a slotted spoon, lower a few bagels at a time into the water after it comes to a gently rolling boil. They will sink, so don't panic. When the rise in a few seconds, flip them over and let them boil for about 2 minutes, then flip over again and let them boil for 1 minute more. When they are done, remove them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. At this point they can be 'painted' with egg glaze and seed coated.
9. Bake then for about 25 minutes until a rich golden brown. Let them cool on a rack.

For a variation to the potato water, I grated one potato and squeezed the resulting water from the grated potato, which gave about 15 gr of thick potato juice. I added this to my water. The result was great in my product, and I didn't need to wait for boiled potato water to cool down.ReplyDelete

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 2/11/2012 (1752 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The package was small but heavy. I wondered what it was. Once in a while people mail me handwritten letters, homemade gifts and little treasures from the past.
This one turned out to be from the last category. It was a multicoloured beaded star, measuring almost 60 centimetres in diameter. Wow.
The design was an eight-pointed star -- the kind you see on star blankets. The beads used to make it are large ones, with a nice woven pattern. The colours grow out of the centre star in graduated borders of red, orange, yellow, white, black, blue and green.
There was also a tricolour spiral-weave necklace, almost resembling a bolo tie except instead of a centre medallion, there is a beaded "bridge" to join the two sides together. My son took an immediate liking to this necklace and put it on.
I'm an experienced beader from back when I was a teenager. I could tell right away the necklace and the star had likely taken many hours to create. What a great treasure. There are a few loose beads here and there on the star, but minor considering its age.
The beaded items were from a woman named Delores.
Delores is 80 years old, and she's downsizing to a smaller place. She inherited the beadwork from a gentleman friend who'd been given them or purchased them from aboriginal friends. He'd spent many years working in northern Manitoba, on Baffin Island and at other posts as an electrical engineer.
Dolores said the beadwork was authentic aboriginal made. She wanted to give them to me because she felt I would appreciate them, or I could pass them on to someone else in the aboriginal community. What a sweetheart that Dolores is.
My son and I tried to figure out what the star was for. It thought maybe it was supposed to be tucked inside the necklace somehow. It wasn't meant for that because it looked awfully weird, like a beaded hankie sticking out of my neck.
I felt like a Neechie Liberace.
Then my son put the star on top of his head, so it hung down over his eyes like the veil of a powwow dancer. That didn't work either, but it looked kind of cool.
Finally we decided the two items were separate, and the star was like a huge, beaded doily.
The beadwork was very much appreciated, as are all the items I've been given over the years. I considered getting the star framed so I could hang it on my wall.
But now, a few weeks later, I'm not so sure Dolores's gift is mine to keep. Maybe it has something to do with repatriation -- returning cultural items to their rightful owners.
It was nice of Dolores to repatriate it to me, but maybe it's my responsibility to find it a good home.
The star is at most 50 years old and worth a few hundred dollars but it likely won't be of museum interest for many years.
Finding the person who beaded the star -- or at least their family -- would be all but impossible since there are no markings to identify the person who created it. I did a little research to find out where it came from but found nothing.
Then again, there's something to be said about the generosity of aboriginal people. It's why we are all here today, after all. This star is a sign of that generosity and maybe that's what I should honour.
Maybe something given away in respect and kindness should then be given away again, and again.
Perhaps this star is meant for something other than a spot on my wall. Maybe it should be donated somewhere, or given to some deserving aboriginal person.
So I've got to figure out what to do with it. As always, your suggestions are welcome.

Just a brief post to pass on a thing of beauty. Critics of market-capitalisation weighting for indices always complain that you are in effect always buying the companies that are most overvalued. There is a lot of truth in this.
In the chart, Ned Davis Research create an index with just one stock in it: the biggest by market value at the time. As soon as a company is overtaken it is replaced in the index of one by the new leader. Trivia devotees may like to know that there have only been nine such stocks in the last four decades: Apple; AT&T (though not in its present incarnation); Altria (once known as Philip Morris); Cisco Systems (beneficiary or victim of the most absurd episode of equity overvaluation in history); ExxonMobil; General Electric; IBM; Microsoft; and Wal-Mart. All are undeniably great companies that at some point since 1972 the market thought to be worth more than any other. Here is how these companies performed compared to the S&P 500, starting in 1972: Read more

A TEENAGER who exposed himself to two girls, via a mobile phone, had committed the same type of sexual offence in the past, a court has heard.
Aaron Kucukcan was placed on three years' supervision, with a sex offender treatment programme, by a judge who told him he apparently had a problem that needed to be addressed, otherwise more serious offences might take place in future.
Preston Crown Court heard that he had exposed himself in a FaceTime connection, to a 16-year-old girl. Her younger teenage sister had also seen his image.
The defendant, formerly of Todber Caravan Site, Gisburn and Derby Street, Colne, had pleaded guilty to an offence of exposure. He had also admitted a bail offence.
Rick Holland, prosecuting, said that the elder girl had begun to receive messages from an unknown source on her new iphone.
The third time that the phone rang, she went on to see a male exposing himself and touching himself. Both girls were shocked by what they saw. They went on to tell their mother.
A phone number for Kucukcan went on to be found and the 16-year-old said she knew who he was.
Back in 2010 and when aged 16, the defendant had been placed on a youth rehab order for exposure. That offence had occurred in a wooded area and the case had involved an adult female.
Laura Heywood, defending, said: "It was perhaps a very foolish thing for him to do. It was foolish, rather than anything more sinister.
"He is clearly remorseful and regretful for his actions. He now realises the impact this offence has had."
The defendant had spent the last thirty two days on remand. She asked the court to consider making a community order on him.
Judge Anthony Russell QC told Kucukcan that such an offence can cause considerable distress.
He had a previous offence of exposure, though that had been in different circumstances.
The judge said: "It seems quite clear there is a risk if what seems to be a sexual problem is not addressed, that further and possibly more serious offending might result as a consequence.
"That can best be address by a community order, with a sex offender treatment programme." He will be on the sex offenders register for five years.

Los Angeles, Sep 23 (IANS) Actor Hugh Jackman, who is married to actress Deborra-Lee Furness, gives priority to his family life over his career.
"Debs has strength and a lot of courage. She is very grounded. Our family matters more than anything - and I mean anything," Sunday Telegraph newspaper quoted Jackman as saying.
"At the Oscars (in 2009), when I put my hand on my heart, that's a sign to Debs out there, a reminder that this is what matters and that all the rest - the awards and the money and the fame - may come and go," the 44-year-old actor said.
The couple have two adopted children -- son Oscar, 13, and eight-year-old daughter Ava.

Prop 8 Funds Set for Rita Repairs, State Park & WMA Projects
AUSTIN, Texas — About $18 million in bond funding for critical repairs to Texas state parks, wildlife management areas, fish hatcheries has been approved, the latest installment of about $101 million in Proposition 8 bond funding approved by Texas voters in 2001.
The Texas Legislature approved debt service funding for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in the last legislative session to cover issuance of the latest $18 million round of Prop 8 bonds. This had been a top priority legislative request from the department.
Steve Whiston, TPWD Infrastructure Division director, told the TPW Commission April 5 that an important part of the latest Prop 8 bond package would pay to repair 11 sites damaged by Hurricane Rita, which ripped through East Texas in September 2005. The estimated cost of repairs needed is $3.1 million.
The department is working closely with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to recover the costs for repairs at TPWD facilities. Prop 8 funds will be used to pay for these repairs up front, with hopes to receive FEMA reimbursement later.
So far, FEMA has approved projects and determined them eligible for reimbursement at Martin Dies Jr. State Park, Sea Rim State Park, Sabine Pass Battleground State Park and Historic Site, Village Creek State Park, Lake Livingston State Park, Lake Houston State Park (currently being transferred to the City of Houston), Mission Tejas State Park and the Jasper Fish Hatchery.
FEMA approval is still pending for TPWD funding requests to repair three wildlife management areas hit by Rita, including J.D. Murphree WMA, Lower Neches WMA, and Tony Houseman WMA.
Whiston also updated commissioners on progress to date with Prop 8 funding. In 2003, TPWD got the first $36.6 million issue of Prop 8 bond money. This funded 118 repair projects at state parks, wildlife and fisheries sites statewide, including many big-ticket water-wastewater systems, almost all of which are now complete. As projects have been finished, savings accumulated that allowed TPWD to add another 19 repair projects funded by the 2003 issued bonds, some of which are ongoing.
In the original Prop 8 legislation, five specific state park sites were earmarked for renovation or improvements, including the San Jacinto Battleground, Battleship TEXAS, Admiral Nimitz Museum (transferred earlier this year from the state park system to the Texas Historical Commission), Sheldon Lake Environmental Learning Center at Sheldon Lake State Park, and Levi-Jordan Plantation.
For 2004/2005, TPWD sought but was unable to obtain debt service funding to issue Prop 8 bonds.
For the current 2006/2007 biennium, the department is moving ahead with the latest $18 million bond package.
For 2008/2009, TPWD will seek legislative support for debt service to fund the remaining approximately $46 million in Prop 8 bonds, including additional bond funding for critical statewide repairs.
Below is the list of 37 sites where repair projects will be funded beginning this year with the current round of $18 million in newly approved Prop 8 bonds.
