Millburn Township Public School students have won 79 Visual Art awards in the prestigious 2013 Northern NJ Regional Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition. Students at Millburn High School won 24 Gold Key awards, 27 Silver Key awards and 26 Honorable Mention awards.
Two students at the Millburn Middle School also won awards this year including a Gold Key and an Honorable Mention.
The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition is sponsored by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers. The competition is the nation's longest-running, largest and most prestigious recognition program for creative teenagers in the visual and literary arts and strives to identify, motivate and validate the next generation of artists and writers.
The student work is judged first at the regional level and then at the national level. After work is submitted regionally, the affiliate organization coordinates the judging of work by local professionals in the visual and literary arts.
An exhibit of the Gold Key artwork will be on display at Montclair Art Museum from Feb. 12 to March 10, 2013 in the Education and Art School Arcade gallery. The Award Ceremony and Reception for Gold Key and Silver Key winners will be on Tuesday, Feb. 12 from 6 to 9 p.m. An event honoring all Millburn Township Scholastic winners will be held at the Millburn High School on March 21st.
Works that receive Gold Key recognition at the regional level are automatically included in the pool of work that is judged nationally among Gold Key winning work from across the country. The national awards will be announced in mid-March and winning students will receive their awards at a ceremony held at Carnegie Hall in New York City in May.

Conservation tillage, the practice of planting agricultural crops through a previous crop's residue, offers many benefits to soil and water conservation but also to wildlife, according to a state wildlife biologist.
No-till is a type of conservation tillage that produces crops with the least amount of soil disturbance, said Judy Barnes, wildlife biologist with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Small Game Project. Benefits of no-till agriculture include reduced machinery wear, labor requirements, soil erosion, release of carbon gases and air pollution. No-till saves time, fuel costs, and improves long-term soil productivity, surface water quality, water infiltration and retention, and soil tilth.
"There are so many benefits that it is impossible to think of a farmer not using no-till planting techniques," Barnes said.
For more information on conservation tillage or enhancing habitat for bobwhite quail, contact Barnes at email@example.com or (803) 734-4306 in Columbia.
Another often-overlooked benefit of no-till agriculture is an increase in the quality and quantity of wildlife habitat, according to Barnes. Productive soils and crop residue provide better shelter and food for wildlife such as bobwhite quail. For the first two weeks of life, bobwhite quail chicks have an extremely high requirement for protein, which can be met through the consumption of insects. Research conducted at North Carolina State University indicates that no-till fields are much more productive brood habitat than conventionally tilled fields. During this study, bobwhite quail chicks were more than twice as efficient at obtaining their daily requirement of protein in no-tilled fields as compared to conventionally tilled fields. Increased foraging efficiency of quail chicks may increase brood survival by minimizing foraging time and reducing chicks' exposure to predators and other mortality factors.
Despite farmers' concerns over increased populations of insects in no-tilled fields, research has indicated that crop residue remaining on the ground following conservation tillage actually harbors greater populations of beneficial insects than detrimental insects. Beneficial insects are those insects that prey upon or parasitize pest insect species.
No-till in conjunction with other conservation practices such as field borders and filter strips will provide critical habitat for bobwhite quail, rabbits, songbirds, and many other species of wildlife.
A field border, or transition zone, is simply a 30- to 120-foot zone of native herbaceous vegetation around the perimeter of a crop field. "These field borders provide an 'edge effect' so beneficial to quail and other species," Barnes said. "Edges are important because they combine some of the characteristics of two or more habitats. Edges are inhabited by some of the animals and plants that are characteristic of each original habitat, plus species that are adapted to live in edges. This of course creates a more diverse population of wildlife and plant species on one's property."
Field borders provide nesting and brood-rearing cover, and food sources in the form of native weed seeds and insects. Beneficial insects are attracted to field borders and fit in well with Integrated Pest Management. Reducing the disturbance of residue in the top few inches of soil favors the survival and development of ants, spiders, ground beetles, and rove beetles that often feed on insects. A slight increase in weed presence, at least during portions of the season, can attract parasitic wasps that feed on the nectar or pollen from flowering weeds and serve as a predator for problem insects.
Field borders do not increase crop depredation from insects, but rather may actually decrease infestations in adjoining crops. Also, precision farming technology indicates that edges of fields typically suffer a 20 percent reduction in yield and may be unprofitable to till, plant, treat with fertilizers and chemicals, and harvest. The acreage lost to field borders is small since a 30 foot-wide strip, one-half mile in length totals less than two acres.
Similar to field borders, filter strips are bands of vegetation adjacent to ditches or other water bodies that serve to trap sediments, chemicals and nutrients. They also provide nesting and brooding cover for quail, and allow birds to access the interior of larger fields. Filter strips can be as narrow as 12 feet in width, but 25-50 feet is better. Maintenance by shallow discing on a two- to three-year cycle is necessary to sustain the proper vegetation component for quail. Ditches with filter strips on both sides should be maintained by discing only one side in a given year.
Like conservation tillage, field borders and filter strips inhibit overland movement of topsoil and nutrients, thus protecting soil and water quality. In combination, these practices may produce significant improvement in agricultural efficiency, soil and water conservation benefits and wildlife habitat.The DNR's Land, Water and Conservation and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries divisions are working together to help farmers improve agricultural efficiency and wildlife habitat on South Carolina's farmlands. Conservation Districts rent conservation tillage equipment to private landowners as well as hunt clubs. Contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office for more information on renting this equipment.

Taliban not demanding monopoly on power
KABUL, Afghanistan — Taliban representatives at a conference did not insist on total power in Afghanistan and pledged to grant rights to women that the militant Islamist group itself brutally suppressed in the past, according to a Taliban statement received Sunday.
The pledges emerged from a rare meeting last week involving Taliban and Kabul government representatives.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. - NBC Right Now continues to follow the ongoing legal battle over Walla Walla's octopus mural.
The owner of the Inland Octopus toy store said the city is violating his first amendment rights to free speech.
The U.S. Supreme Court decided Monday they will not review the case
involving the Walla Walla toy store owner, Bob Catsiff, and the large
mural of an octopus above his business.
The court's decision Monday means the state appeals court ruling will
stand that determined the mural violates the city's sign ordinance.
The city has told Catsiff the mural must be made smaller or painted over within 30 days to comply with the city's sign code.
If not, then the city will cover it themselves.
Catsiff's attorney says they are disappointed with the decision and plan to pursue other options.
"We thought that the city's prohibition of the inland octopus mural
was an infringement of Bob Catsiff's 1st Amendment rights of free speech
and free expression," said Michael de Grasse, Catsiff's attorney.
Michael de Grasse said they will talk with the city about pursuing a
claim of selective enforcement because they believe the city isn't
enforcing their sign code on all businesses.
The city is charging a fine of $100 for each day the sign violates the sign code.
Catsiff's fines started on October 14th, 2010, reaching a current total of nearly $8,700.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Facebook and Microsoft have joined Google in asking for greater transparency in surveillance requests, following widespread criticism of the U.S. government's surveillance programs and the role of the Internet companies.
Twitter's General Counsel Alex Macgillivray also wrote in a message Tuesday on the service that Twitter supports efforts for more transparency in NSLs (national security letters) used by the government to collect data.
The U.S. National Security Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation have access to servers at Google, Facebook and other major Internet services, collecting content for surveillance, the Guardian reported last week. Internet companies denied that they had provided access to the government to their servers.
In a letter to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Robert Mueller, Google's Chief Legal Officer David Drummond asked that the company should be allowed to publish in its Transparency Report aggregate numbers of national security requests, including disclosures under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, in terms of both the numbers received and their scope.
Government nondisclosure obligations regarding the number of FISA national security requests that Google receives, as well as the number of accounts covered by those requests, fuel speculation "that our compliance with these requests gives the U.S. government unfettered access to our users' data," which Drummond described as untrue. Google published a copy of the letter on its blog.
Facebook's General Counsel Ted Ullyot said in a post on its website that the social networking company would "welcome the opportunity to provide a transparency report that allows us to share with those who use Facebook around the world a complete picture of the government requests we receive, and how we respond." Ullyot said the company had not issued a transparency report in the past, as it would be incomplete and misleading because of the government restrictions on disclosure.
Microsoft has also asked for greater transparency, according to reports.
Pressure has meanwhile increased on the U.S. government to provide details of its surveillance programs, including one that required Verizon to provide data on its customers in the U.S.
On Tuesday, eight U.S. senators cutting across political parties introduced legislation that would require the attorney general to declassify opinions issued by the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. Civil rights groups have been demanding that these judicial opinions should be made available to the public, after U.S. President Barack Obama called Friday for a debate on the tradeoff between privacy and security.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Generally speaking, the first-person shooter shares common traits with other shooter games, which in turn fall under the heading action game.
From the genre's inception, advanced 3D or pseudo-3D graphics elements have challenged hardware development, and multiplayer gaming has been integral.
The first-person shooter has since been traced as far back as Maze War, development of which began in 1973, and 1974's Spasim. 1987's MIDI Maze for the Atari ST was one of the first network multiplayer action games and also saw release on game consoles.
Penumbra Overture is a first person adventure game which focuses on story, immersion and puzzles. Instead of using violence to progress the player has to use his/her wits to guide Philip on his quest to unravel the past. Like all good nightmares, Philip's begins with something all too real - his mother's death. The days following the funeral are characterized by nothing, save for an incessant feeling of abandonment. Until, that is, he receives a letter from a dead man.
Philip's father left before he was born, taking his reasons with him. Now, here he is, opening up the door from beyond the grave. That door leads to more questions, and those questions lead to Greenland. Philip follows the clues - they're all he has left.

By Alex Lippa
---- — ATKINSON — For 20 years, Michael Suriani has lived at 28 Coventry Road — and he wants it to stay that way.
Suriani isn't moving away, but he is preparing for his address to change.
He and several other residents of Coventry Road voiced their opinions at a public hearing Monday regarding the change.
"It's a big financial risk for us as far as being able to notify people properly," Suriani said. "We have loans and deeds that will take some expensive legal work just to change the address."
Selectmen have proposed changing 10 addresses on Coventry and Washington Roads to assure quicker emergency safety response. The home at 20A Coventry Road would become 22 Coventry Road, and would trigger changes at eight other homes on the street.
"An alphanumeric number can't be in an all-numeric string, according the New Hampshire Bureau of Emergency Communications," Selectman William Baldwin said. "We want to do what is in the best interest in keeping everyone safe."
The move to change the addresses came after two incidents at Peter Gulezian's home, when emergency personnel responded to the wrong home.
Gulezian lives at 2 Washington Road, but shares a driveway with homes at 2A and 2B Washington Road. Under the proposal, those neighbors' homes would become part of a new street, Martha's Way.
But many affected homeowners are hoping to prevent the change.
"It's such a huge cost involved to renumber all of us," said Valerie Tobin of 32 Coventry Road. "We're looking at new mortgages, deeds, passports, car registrations. It's like we're moving, but we're not moving."
Tobin said instead of renumbering houses, she would like to see a new townwide ordinance.
"Everyone should have something on the street that clearly identifies their number," Tobin said. "If it's either a post or a mailbox, that would prevent these safety issues from happening."
But Gulezian said he didn't think that would solve the issue.
"They just don't want to deal with the burden of having to change their address," he said. "That doesn't work when responders aren't coming in broad daylight and they can't see the house."
Acting police Chief Patrick Caggiano said he understood residents' concerns, but stressed that safety was most important.
"I understand the argument on both sides of the issue," he said. "But this is about the potential for there to be a safety concern. Anytime you can minimize that potential, then there may be some benefits."
Baldwin said these two streets are only the beginning of what officials would like to see renumbered.
"We aren't just cherry picking these two streets," he said. "We want to address all the issues and are doing it in stages. We will do our due diligence before making any final decisions."
Baldwin said no decision on Washington and Coventry streets were made at the public hearing Monday night. Selectmen will have a discussion in the next few weeks, before making a final decision.

Almost everything I work on myself lives in github. I work on a lot of things. Very few of them are finished. But if, for some inexplicable reason, you don't want to trawl though thousands of lines of inpenetrable README files looking for something interesting, here are a few highlights:
Dropbox tools
A collection of little utilities I'm building as and when I need them to fix things that are wrong with my Dropbox.
feedify will make Atom feeds out of things that don't have feeds, because I like having feeds. Basically, I got bored of having to jab at 5 icons on my phone every time I wanted to do a sweep of "what my friends are doing" - I'd much rather just subscribe to feeds and my RSS reader can tell me about things.
Build a flickr set in your account containing a list of the photos that other people like the most, based off your Flickr stats.
Instagram gives you a single, very very simple, view on the photos of your friends - a flat list in upload order. This is a quick hack that emulates a similar thing for your flickr photostream - just stuff your contacts have uploaded, in order. Formatted for iPhone.
A stand-alone ruby/webrick server that will expose a Jekyll source folder via the Blogger / MT / Wordpress XML-RPC metaweblog interface, allowing you to create/edit/delete posts and pages using a GUI client, such as Marsedit.
Flame is a browser for Bonjour (also known as ZeroConf) network services. It lists the services advertised on your wireless network and you can browse them by server or by service type. When selecting a service, its advertised details are displayed.
Shelf is an app for MacOS that looks at the current foreground application, and tries to figure out if what you're looking at corresponds to a person in your Address Book. Then it'll tell you things about them.
This is a collection of scripts for tracking unread count (I'm musing other things, though) across various online services that I use, so I can easily see how swamped I am with data this week.
A (read-only) simplenote client written in html for mobile devices. Intended mainly so that I can read my simplenote notes on my android phone, but it should work on most clients with a decent browser. Uses HTML5 local storage to cache note bodies, and syncs things properly, so might even work offline.
DjangoKit is a framework that will take a Django application, and turn it into a stand-alone MacOS application with a local database and media files. It started as more of a thought experiment than an effort at producing a real application, but I have it working, and you can package perfectly usable stand-alone applications with it.

President's Message
Graduate education at WPI focuses on the highest ideals of university education: the mastery of important information and the creation of new knowledge.
A national doctoral university with a heritage of educational innovation, WPI delivered its first graduate program in 1893. Today the university offers an array of master's and doctoral degree programs in engineering, science, and management, which are pursued, part-time (for practicing professionals) or full-time, on campus and via distance learning, by a diverse population of students from more than 70 nations.
Three qualities distinguish WPI's graduate programs. First, they are marked by a high degree of interdisciplinary collaboration. WPI has long been known as a place where ideas, innovation, and discovery freely cross disciplinary boundaries. Increasingly, the collaborative spirit at WPI is being expanded to include exciting academic and research partnerships with industry, government laboratories, and other universities. Our new Life Sciences and Bioengineering Center has been expressly designed to promote research across disciplines and to facilitate external research and development partnerships.
Second, WPI graduate students benefit from their close interactions with an extraordinarily gifted and accomplished faculty. Among the ranks of WPI's tenured and tenure track faculty, 95 percent of whom hold doctoral degrees, are 18 recipients of the National Science Foundation's CAREER Award (the highest honor for young faculty), 12 winners of Fulbright scholarships, and more than 40 fellows of national and international professional societies and organizations.
Finally, WPI's graduate programs place an important emphasis on meaningful, practical applications of science, technology, and management a tradition that can be traced to our founding in 1865. Our graduates emerge with the knowledge and skills to pursue exciting careers in a range of fields – from bioinformatics to software engineering to information security to fire protection engineering.
I invite you to learn more about WPI's exceptional graduate and research programs. I am confident that you will find that they offer you the knowledge, the skills, and the experience you will need for advanced study, for career development, and, ultimately, for making a difference in the world.

What does the Wonka Golden Ticket give you?Monday, May 23rd, 2005 by Jon
According to Nestle's, the prizes that can be found in the newly released Wonka Bars and Donutz are as follows:
Individual movie characters will be featured on wrappers and five grand prizes are linked to their traits or circumstances.
The winning Augustus Gloop wrapper, for instance, dangles a trip to Dusseldorf, Germany; the Charlie Bucket wrapper gives away $10,000; the Veruca Salt winner gets a shopping spree; the Violet Beauregarde prize is a fantasy sports camp trip; and the holder of the winning Mike Teevee wrapper goes to Hollywood to be digitized in a videogame.
I think I might opt for the Augustus Gloop or the Charlie Bucket but all the prizes seem unique!

Dorchesters best???
When you first hear the name Dorchester, does that immediately turn you off? Well, it shouldn't. Despite what people may think, Dorchester is an up and coming area as far as restaurants go.
Now for the dinning. I would have to say that dbar would have to be one of the better meals I've had this year. We started off with Beef Tenderloin Mini Tacos, and Tuna Ceviche, and both were done very well. For my entree I had Bourbon Dijon Pork Tenderloin and my husband had the Duck Confit (yes, in Dorchester). The chef had great flavor going on in both of these dishes, as was the theme all night. Surprisingly, when we received the bill we managed (with two glasses of wine) to get out for under one hundred dollars. Great value!
The only problem I found at dbar was not being greeted promptly by the service staff. Myself and my husband waited several minutes while the staff enjoyed their conversation. We were unsure whether we were supposed to seat ourselves or wait.
Another great place to eat is Ashmont Grill. The food was enjoyable, but buyer beware, this menu is al a carte'. We started out with the Casco Bay Mussels and Pumpkin Soup. The soup was good, but the mussels could have been better. Next, the entrees. I had the Pan Roasted Cod. While the cod was delicious, I was disappointed to have to pay $17 for a small piece of fish and a little bit of tomato. My husband had the Wood-Grilled Flat-Iron Steak, which was appetizingly drenched in butter. While the steak was great, I enjoy having a complete dish, as opposed to having to build my own. Following the entrees we were still hungry, so we indulged in dessert. We split the Creamy Pumpkin Cheesecake between the two of us. The service was good. A meal for two people came to $150, including two glasses of wine.
224 is another good place to dine. Been there forever, can't go wrong with meatloaf, can you? Well, actually, I didn't get the meatloaf, but I don't know too many restaurants who still have that on the menu.
We began with the Lobster and Asparagus Pizza. The pizza was great, even though lobster was overcooked. For entrees, I had the Pumpkin Ravioli, which was delicious, but very heavy and unbalanced. My husband had the Swordfish over Fingerling Potatoes. The fish was fresh, but the dish wasn't that great. The star of the night was our two glasses of wine. The service was decent, and we got out for just under one hundred dollars.
Here is my view on these three restaurants:
dbar for food
Ashmont for service
224 for portion size
I would love to hear about your dining experiences at these three restaurants and your recommendation for other great Dorchester dining experiences.
Re: 224 "Missing a dish." I used to order the pistachio crusted chicken breast @224. It was always well prepared, moist, & delish. Our waiter at the time said it was a customer favorite. Then it disappeared from the menu. When I inquired, I was told, "Don't worry, it's very popular, it will return." Well that was 2 (?) years ago and it has never returned to my knowledge. My opinion is that if a restaurant doesn't care enough about what their customers like, they don't want my business. I return only occasionally now, but it's off my regular favorites list.
Common Ground is a great place for lunch. Hot turkey sandwiches,wraps.It has some limited dinner specials,which are good. Wonderful salads for those who are watching thier lbs on the scale.The inside is like nothing you have ever seen before,very Rustic with a real fireplace which will be very cozy when and if it ever snows.
re: ChrisB1
Common Ground gives new meaning to the term "offbeat." I like the place--the food is fresh and healthy, the people are friendly, and the atmosphere is truly unique. But you need to have an open mind if you go there, as the place is run by the Twelve Tribes, a religious group that has some....well...interesting beliefs. But the folks are nice there and the food is good, so what more could you ask for?
re: hiddenboston
This is true the food is good.I have eaten with groups like the krishnas and their food is for the most part pretty good too.The seventh day adventist had a place downtown that was pretty good but I'm not sure if it's there anymore, I can't rememer the name Four Seasons maybe?.
re: hiddenboston
Just wanted to mention a new spot on Dot Ave that opened just before Thanksgiving. It's called the bar and that's exactly what it is, but they offer a really good steak and cheese sandwich. The bar is located across from the Burger King on Dot Ave near the Dbar. They have off street parking and the space has been renovated. Nice open room with an attractive bar and plenty of tables. At the moment they have a pool table but there's talk of removing it. Food is limited to sandwiches, burgers etc which are listed on the blackboard. I went with a group and we all enjoyed are steak and cheese sandwiches.
Had dinner last night at Avenue Grill...great place!
The service was excellent & food was great. This is a great cozy neighborhood place with a friendly vibe. They were out of the wine I ordered by the glass, so the owner came over and offered to pour a glass from any selection on the wine list.
Thanks for the info on this one, its definelty on our regular visit list !
Shanti is by far my favorite and it makes me sad to see it so empty so often.
The Blarney and CFD's are both pretty good, though I have found the quality to be inconsistent. The service at CFD's is very friendly. You have to love McKenna's. You just have to. But it is what it is.
I TRIED to like Ashmont Grill, but have, sadly given up on it. The quality of both the food and service was so wildly inconsistent (in the same week I had THE perfect pork chop and chicken wings that were literally raw) that it made no sense to put up with their IMO ridiculous ala carte pricing scheme which made every dinner a $40 event. It's not that I mind paying South End prices -- it's that I mind paying it when its a roll of the dice as to whether my server will be rude and inattentive or both (again) and/or whether I'll be served a mediocre meal or have to send my plate back to the kitchen (again).
They were also unable to make accomodations for a dairy allergy which really pissed me off (and speaks to premade dishes). I wrote Chris but didn't get a response.
I would like to see some decent food pop up down in the Village. That's one neighborhood that is a culinary wasteland.
Ashley's has great (and cheap) Southern-style diner breakfasts. I love the patio at the Blarney Stone; it's a great place to get together with friends, even if the food is nothing exceptional. A great thing about the Cape Verdean restaurants like Cesaria and Ka Carlos is that they are surprisingly affordable; most traditional Cape Verdean stews are $8 and bottles of Vinho Verde are about $15. dBar, while boasting good food, is a bit expensive for a casual weeknight dinner; I was hoping this place would have a more "neighborhood" menu when it opened (entrees $10-$15) but they priced it higher than that (entrees $15-$20). Still, it's a better deal than you'd find in the South End. Has anyone tried Irie's "small plate Tuesday's"? I was thinking of trying that out tonight but I haven't seen the sign for that promotion lately.
I'll have to give the Blarney Stone another try, given all the positive posts. The one and only time I went, the food was not very good and the service was worse. I would never recommend the Harp & Bard which is too bad because at one time it was a decent place. Won't get into all the problems there except to say that the owner has major attitude. I also would like to add that I've heard some really positive feedback on the Japanese BBQ place next to the Shanti on Dot Ave.
This is my favorite thread ever!
My hometown faves:
Donovans- great pub ambiance and outrageously large portions
Cesaria- fantastic Cape Verdean food; fantastic prices (haven't been to Ka Carlos yet)
Shanti- solid Indian
Pho 2000- solid Vietnamese
dbar- solid upscale cuisine
Blarney Stone- our own Regal Beagle; wonderful in the spring and summer when the patio is open
224- went for the first time last month; nice ambiance, great service, decent food.
Ashmont Grill- unoriginal, lacks culture
Harp and Bard- don't let the "Patio Open" sign fool you-- the patio is an alley behind the pub; the food is sub-par
My favorites in Dorchester are Ashley's for breakfast and Irie for good solid Caribbean food.
My three favorites are CF Donovan's and McKenna's on Savin Hill, and the Ashmont Grill. I also like Shanti a lot, too, as well as several of the Vietnamese places in Fields Corner. Donovan's is probably #1 for me, though. It's such a nice neighborhood place, with friendly people, good food, and decent prices.
What about Laura, Cape Verdian. Anyone care to chime in?
re: trufflehound
I posted this back in February and won't comment further because I haven't been back since (not a comment on quality -- it's not terribly convenient to where I am now but since I'm moving to Fields Corner soon, I look forward to going more often).
Could somebody comment more about Irie? I heard the ice cream was really good.
re: Dizzied
The ice cream is pretty good. They have some interesting flavors. I go there because it's the closest ice cream to my house, not because it's particularly wonderful.
Here's my review of Irie from several months ago.
re: DotDiner
re: Chaumiere
Ice Cream Smith makes their own ice cream and it is tasty. Another good choice for ice cream in Dorchester is The Ice Cream Factory on Morrisey Blvd. Irie Does not make their own ice cream and the interesting flavors they have are similar to other Carribean ice cream shops in the area.
re: foodieB
Ice Cream Smith is closed for the season until March. I'm not as much of a fan as others -- I had some really weak-tasting chocolate there, and have often found bits of ice or congealed butterfat at other times. I like the people and the place, but I don't think the ice cream itself is all that great.
re: DotDiner
I've been singing Dot's praises for a little while now. Most of my favorites have been mentioned. I'd add: Avenue Grill (modest, friendly American and Italian-American), the Vietnamese noodle soup joints (Pho So 1, Pho 2000, Sunrise), Ba Le bakery (banh mi), Chef Lee's II (buffet-style soul food), and Ka Carlos (Cape Verdean).
Cafe Polonia (Polish) is technically in Southie near the edge of Dorchester, but well worth a visit.
Still meaning to try a few others, like Anh Hong for Vietnamese beef seven ways, Singh's for roti, Cesaria and Laura's (Cape Verdean), and a few of the pubs (C.F. Donovan's, the Banshee).
3 years ago I would go to 224 every week but after a bunch of bad experiences and a large staff turnover I've started going to other places. dBar is great as long as you are out of there before 10pm. After 10pm it switches from a restaurant to a gay club and they put away most of tables. Ashmont Grill does a great burger and we have had good brunch experiences but, as you point out, the "a l carte" aspect kills this place. With sides a skirt steak ends up costing $30. For that price I'm going into the city.
My two favorite places in Dorchester are the Blarney Stone and Shanti. The Blarney Stone has a menu that takes it a step above a regular bar meal, awesome service and very reasonable prices. Shanti offers Indian food with an emphasis on Bangladeshi curries. It's not the best Indian I've eaten but for Dorchester it's perfect and they deliver.

Service providers prime targets for hackersApril 22, 2014 1:46 am | by Brian Santo | News | Comments
The world's networks are under constant, relentless attack, including – perhaps especially – the networks of service providers. Service providers are not only targets themselves, but since they provide the network infrastructure for so many other companies, they are doubly at peril, according to Verizon's 2014 Data Breach Investigations Report.

With the advertising upfront season looming, TiVo released a report this morning that said the top-10 "season pass" programs lost $88 million in ad revenue due to the current C3 ratings system. By switching to C7, which would provide commercial ratings for live viewing plus an additional seven days instead of three, ratings and revenue would increase by 5 percent to 17 percent, according to TiVo.

Multi-screen delivery has always been an element of the TV-Everywhere strategy. Over the top content and on demand content can all be prepped ahead of time; linear, live video is a tougher nut to crack. All that video processing has be able to be done in real-time, or close to it. The equipment necessary to prep video – encoders, transcoders, video management platforms – can be almost anywhere in the network, usually depending on where the content is stored, but all capabilities need to be in the headend to distribute over the top, on demand, and linear video.

Campbell breaking records at hometown school
Feb 11, 2013
Originally published in the Battle Creek Enquirer Feb. 9, 2013
By Nick Buckley, The Enquirer
OLIVET Fear is not something Olivet College junior Kelsey Campbell experiences often.
The point guard doesn't shy away from taking the big shot, or from threading a defense with her dazzling passing ability. When it comes to defense and rebounding, she doesn't back down against bigger opponents.
It's those attributes that helped the 2010 Olivet High School graduate break the school and Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) record for assists in a game and follow that effort up with the first triple-double in program history.
"We call her our floor general. When she's on the floor, we're a much better team," said Olivet College head coach Nicole Burford. "She takes care of the ball, a good decision maker. Her passing is crazy to watch, because she gets it in the right spot at the right time, which is huge."
Campbell is posting ridiculous numbers in leading the Comets to their finest season to date. Olivet has already broken the school record for wins in a season with a 15-9 mark, and will look to claim its first MIAA championship when it begins the league tournament on Feb. 20.
Campbell broke the MIAA single-game record for assists in a 79-66 victory over Alma, dishing out 16 helpers. That is tied for the most in a game this season among all NCAA players, regardless of division.
In the Comets' next game, a 69-37 win over Kalamazoo, she recorded the first triple-double in Olivet women's basketball history with 10 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists.
"When I started playing in high school, that's when I started throwing assists and getting my teammates involved more," Campbell said. "So assists mean more than my personal triple-double."
Currently, Campbell leads the MIAA and ranks 17th in Division 3 in assists per game at 5.34. She is ranked seventh in the league in scoring (10.4 ppg), third in 3-point percentage (.381) and fifth in minutes played (31.09 pg).
As a sophomore in 2011-12, she broke the Olivet single-season assist record with 135 on her way to All-MIAA second team honors. She has 128 assists through 24 games this season, and if she continues her pace, she will break the school career record of 364, set by Amy Brackenwagen from 2004-08.
Campbell wouldn't be setting any records had it not been for some difficult times up north.
After helping Olivet High School to a 20-0 regular season and earning All-State honorable mention honors in 2010, Campbell was given a scholarship to play Division 2 ball up at Northern Michigan University.
Her freshman year for the Wildcats, Campbell appeared in 23 games. She made 15 assists, 16 turnovers and averaged 1.1 points per game.
While she enjoyed her freshman experience playing basketball, it wasn't the right fit for her academically.
"Went up there, spent a year there. I liked basketball up there, but schooling wasn't for me," Campbell said. "So I decided to come home."
Campbell has thrived in a more familiar setting. She sees family and her former coaches at many of Olivet's home games. She even gets to play alongside the player she admired most growing up in Olivet.
Chelsea Ciba, a 2006 Olivet High School graduate, set the Michigan High School Athletic Association single-season record for steals before playing her freshman season at Western Michigan University. But like Campbell, Ciba decided to continue her college basketball career on her hometown hardwood.
This season is the first time the two have played together. When Ciba was a senior at Olivet, Campbell was an eighth grader and the team ball girl.
"Before games, she would go in our gym and shoot, I would go in there and rebound for her. I would wear her warmup top," Campbell said of Ciba. "So getting to play with her is nice, because I looked up to her a lot in high school… Going though high school, my head coach (Rob Fleming) told me pretty much try and base my game off of her, so I watched all her games and tried to play the game like she did."
Both players are benefiting from their homecoming, as Ciba currently leads the MIAA in steals per game at 2.58. And Olivet is benefiting from having two homegrown talents on the floor together.
"It just shows that you can come here in your backyard and play and stay home and represent where you are from," Burford said.
Campbell has a few tattoos, but the most visible is a piece of home she brings with her everywhere she goes. Just above her left ankle, it features a cross with words that honor of her best friend, the late Anthony Dane "A.D." Thelen, who died as the result of an automobile accident before his junior year at Olivet in 2008.
"People get sad when I tell them about it, but it's not. It's a good thing," Campbell said with a smile. "It lets people know about him."
Campbell's basketball talents have brought her full-circle from Olivet, to Marquette and back to Olivet. And Campbell is proud that she will end her basketball career next year in an Olivet jersey.
After that, the criminal justice major with a 3.90 GPA is excited to begin her new career and put her degree to use working in prisons.
Campbell, whose favorite television show happens to be "Lockup Raw," wants to work in a correctional facility.
"Mom wasn't too happy when I told her, but she's OK with it now," Campbell said.
Campbell's qualities on the basketball court quiet confidence with an ability to make others around her better should serve her well in the next phase of her life.
But first, the hard-nosed player hopes to bring a championship to the small, blue-collar town that raised her.

JEERS - To an alleged animal abuser. This week, authorities found three dead dogs in a town of Mayfield house. On Friday, authorities charged the animals' owner, Tirzah R. Henry, 30, with two counts under the state Agriculture & Markets Law. We were pleased to see this investigation led to charges.
CHEERS - To facades. In a story in February about the newly acquired Gloversville Schine building, one of the investors in Memorial Hall LLC, Jim Strickland, said, "I'm excited about it, and I also think this cooperative approach and large number of investors is going to be a great model for giving this building [what] it needs to find its place again." It's good to drive down Main Street and see the building is finding its place again. Enhanced facades from simple paint to complimentary awnings greet residents and visitors. This group is doing an extraordinary job; it's noticeable.
JEERS - To an epidemic of inconsideration. Graduations are in full swing. Some already have occurred; others will take place today. Unfortunately, some people who attend the graduations are inconsiderate. Some talk while young people are speaking, use cellphones and show little respect. This all boils down to rudeness. Those who still show respect, etiquette and consideration should not accept this. Superintendents and principals in attendance should lead by example, and when they notice people being inconsiderate, they should speak up and demand the respect the students deserve.
CHEERS - To a starring role. Fage will be featured in a national ad campaign the state has produced. This particular advertisement was created to promote successful businesses in the state and features shots of Fage's yogurt factory and local dairy farms. This is a positive reflection on Fulton County and the Johnstown Industrial Park.

Police: Minor injuries reported in Route 7 crashBy Brent Curtis
Staff Writer | February 18,2014
PITTSFORD - A head-on crash this afternoon destroyed a car and a tractor trailer on Route 7 north of the village but only minor injuries were reported, according to Vermont State Police.
The two-lane highway remains only partially open after the crash which took place at about 2:40 p.m. In driving snow and slick conditions, a 2007 Toyota Corolla driven by Wayne Holt, 74, of Brandon, and a 2001 Mack tractor trailer with a trailer full of marble rocks in tow collided about a mile north of the intersection with the Florence Truck Route.
Police say a witness saw Holt's car veer into the southbound lane forcing the tractor trailer to cut into the northbound lane in an attempt to avoid a head-on crash.
The Corolla and the tractor and trailer ended up off the road on either side of the highway. The tractor trailer rolled over completely with the back of the trailer blocking the entire northbound lane.

Now's the time to try ciders at local barsFARGO – Even though it still feels like summer, apple season has come early to the area. This means, too, that fresh apple cider will start becoming more and more available as the days transition into fall.
FARGO – Even though it still feels like summer, apple season has come early to the area.
This means, too, that fresh apple cider will start becoming more and more available as the days transition into fall.
But, because it's still a little bit too warm for a glass of hot cider, try the next best thing – a cool, refreshing pint of hard cider, with an alcohol content of roughly 5 percent, served at many bars and restaurants around Fargo-Moorhead.
Try, for example, Crispin Original Cider, served on tap at JL Beers. The Minnesota-brewed cider is light and crisp with a hint of a tangy taste.
Fargo's JL Beers bartender Johnny Huebsch says ciders are typically more popular with female customers, but are really a good drink alternative for anyone who's looking for something a little different.
"If you're not a beer person, cider is a great substitute," he says.
Dempsey's Irish Pub in downtown Fargo, meanwhile, offers Angry Orchard cider on tap (Angry Orchard is made by the Boston Beer Company, which also brews the popular Sam Adams brand of beer).
Dempseys bartender Cory Schlack describes Angry Orchard as being light and crisp, and not as sweet as some other brands. That less-sugary characteristic is similar to ciders in England, he says, where the drink is more popular with bar patrons.
"I like a cider that's not as sweet," he says. "Here, it seems that a lot of sugar is added."
In general, Schlack thinks that ciders are becoming a more popular drink order at Dempseys, "more with women, but with men, too," he says.
Fort Noks Bar of Gold downtown has even more options, with four different brands of cider in bottles (Angry Orchard, Woodchuck, Hornsbys and Oliver), and a total of eight different flavors.
If you want to try something really unique, order a bottle of Oliver – with a high alcohol content of 8 percent, the cider with colorful and fanciful designs on its bottles comes in strawberry, raspberry and peach.
With such fruity flavors, Oliver's varieties don't have the same cider feel as the more traditional varieties, like Woodchuck or Crispin, though, but rather more of a champagne taste.
Woodchuck has several varieties of bottled cider, including 802 Dark & Dry, Crisp and Granny Smith, although not all styles are as commonly sold as the original Amber cider offered at Fort Noks.
Regardless of the brand, though, a benefit of cider is that the drink is gluten-free, providing an alternative for people who aren't able to drink beer because of dietary restrictions.
But if straight cider is a little bit too sweet on its own, try mixing it with different beers or liquors for a unique, easy-to-make drink.
A Snakebite, for example, is a mix of half cider and half lager (at JL Beers, Huebsch says he'll sometimes add a splash of Guinness to the top for an added taste). See our list of recipes for more cider suggestions.
Whatever your preference, though, as apples start coming off of the trees, now is the perfect time to indulge in some cider.
