Jock's Nitch chosen for award
Thursday, February 28, 2019 3:00 PM
Giving Back, News, Alumni, People and Society, Milestones
Minnesota native Phil Minton came to Pittsburg State in 1979 on a track and field scholarship, and his brother, John, followed not long after.
They would go on to build a successful business in Pittsburg that became a partner to their alma mater in countless ways and became an integral part of the fabric of the community: Called Jock's Nitch, it's a team apparel and shoe store that now occupies an eye-catching downtown corner building in downtown Pittsburg, and has locations in three other cities in Kansas and one in Missouri.
On Thursday, they were recognized as the recipient of the 14th Annual Rex Crowley Outstanding Partner in Progress Award. It was presented by PSU President Steve Scott as the highlight of the kick-off breakfast of the Community Campaign, "Partners in Progress" — a joint effort by PSU and the Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce.
The award was named for a late local banker and "fundraising volunteer and dynamo," Scott said, who "left us a legacy."
"The private giving we have now, the city relationship, the community relationship we have now — it's built on the work of others," Scott said. "We're very fortunate that people like Rex Crowley preceded us, and we can build on his legacy."
Scott praised the outstanding support by Jock's Nitch of PSU Athletics; a few years ago, the company was awarded the Adidas contract for PSU uniforms in a competitive bid. The Pittsburg store offers PSU faculty, staff, and students discounts on Adidas merchandise.
And, the Mintons also support PSU ROTC by developing the Sgt. 1st Class Forest Robertson Memorial Scholarship, and they have a long history of employing PSU students and graduates in a variety of roles.
Jock's Nitch has become a local landmark, noted Scott, who is among the countless shoppers who head there frequently for team apparel.
Phil Minton said he's proud of the business he and his brother have built, and to have been part of the development of the downtown.
"Pittsburg State's an amazing place, and anytime I travel, I wear a Pitt State item and I always get comments," said John Minton. "I'm very proud to be a resident, a graduate, and a business owner here."
Phil's wife, Shelly and John's wife, Amanda, are both PSU graduates, and their children are students and graduates, as well.
Campaign coordinator Kati Karleskint said the goal of the annual campaign is increasing engagement between area businesses in the community and Pittsburg State.
The campaign seeks to involve local businesses in giving to PSU in a myriad of ways, from making financial contributions, to hiring students and graduates, to giving in-kind gifts, is being co-chaired this year by Zac Dickey and Monica Kellogg.
Dickey, starting quarterback for the 2011 Championship team, earned his bachelor's in 2012 and now owns Next Generation Insurance. Kellogg, who holds the title of former Homecoming Queen, earned her bachelor's in 1991 and her master's in 1992 and now owns her own CPA firm.
"I'm very proud to be a part of this community and very proud to be an alumnus of Pittsburg State University," Dickey said. "We love seeing the growth and development... 'Partners in Progress and 'Forward Together' — hopefully those aren't just mottos, those are things we're going to live by."

Q: Decomposition of hyperbolic surfaces near cusps into annuli Let $C=\mathbb{H}/\Gamma$ be a hyperbolic surface and $c$ a cusp of this sruface. In the paper "Billiards and Teichmüller curves on Hilbert modular surfaces" by C. McMullen, it is claimed that near this cusp the surface decomposes into horizontal annuli. My question is how one explicitely finds these annuli near a given cusp to compute their modulus. You can assume as in the mentioned paper that the cuvr has genus $0$.

A: There is an explicit geometric model for cusps in $-1$ curvature, which is obtained by conjugating the parabolic element associated to the cusp to $z\mapsto z+1$.
Cusps are isometric to $C_\alpha = \{z\in {\bf H} \mid Im(z) > \alpha\} / <z\mapsto z+1>$  for some $\alpha$ that can be expressed as a function of the hyperbolic area of the cusp.
$$
area(C_\alpha) = \int_\alpha^\infty \int_0^1 {dxdy\over y^2} = 1/\alpha.
$$
The boundary of such model is a closed horocycle (the projection of the horizontal line $\{Im(z)=\alpha\}$ in $\bf H$). I guess that the annuli you are refering to are simply cylinders in the cusp bounded by closed horocycles, e.g.
$$A_n = \{ z\in {\bf H} \mid n < Im(z)\leq n+1\}/<z \mapsto z+1>.$$

Holiday in Tybee Island
A quiet island destination
Tybee Island lies just east of Savannah on Georgia's Atlantic coastline. As well as being a popular vacation destination, the island is a weekend getaway for Savannah's residents. It is one of a chain of sea islands that dot the Georgia shoreline and has sandy beaches, a tidal salt marsh, and a forested interior.
Tybee Island - a piratical history
Tybee Island was probably first settled by the Euchee tribe who used dugout canoes to navigate its waterways. In the Euchee language, Tybee means 'salt'. Spanish settlers arrived in the early 16th-century and it was during this period that Tybee Island became a refuge for pirates. As a result of English Spanish hostilities, the island was largely uninhabited by the 18th-century except for lighthouse keepers and soldiers manning its defenses.
Savannah - Hilton Head International Airport is just 45 minutes drive from Tybee Island which is then reached on the GA-26 / US-80 road. This takes you through Savannah and is the island's only vehicular access.
A destination for beach lovers
The main attraction of Tybee Island is its beautiful shoreline where the beaches are lapped by warm water and covered in firm sand perfect for building sandcastles, making it a family-friendly destination. South Beach is a lively spot with plenty of dining opportunities while if you are lucky you might spot dolphins from the quieter North Beach.
A destination for water activities
When you have had your fill of swimming and sunbathing, then take boat trips or kayak tours that guide you through the salt marshes, coastal waterways, and rivers of the island and neighboring areas. Stand-up paddleboarding, sailing, and jet-skiing can also be enjoyed while South Beach is popular for surfing.
A nature lovers delight
Take a boat trip to nearby Little Tybee Island, a real wilderness delight. Although called Little Tybee Island it is actually more than twice the size of its neighbor, Tybee Island! Subtropical forests of palm trees and oaks border pristine beaches and sand dunes. Here lazy days can be spent birdwatching and beachcombing or if you feel more energetic hiking in the forest.
The island is in the Guinness Book of World Records thanks to a 1995 painting created in a car park. Local art students painted an image of Elvis which at 76,726 square feet was the world's largest ever painting.
Top 5 things to do in Tybee Island
1. Climb to the top of Georgia's tallest lighthouse
Not only the tallest in the state, Tybee Island Light Station is also its oldest and one of just a few 18th-century lighthouses still operating in America. Today, it is painted black and white as it was in the early 20th-century.
2. Get hands-on in the aquarium
The Tybee Island Marine Science Center has something for all ages with its touch tanks and interactive child-friendly exhibits.
3. A defensive history
The Tybee Island Museum can be found at Fort Screven's Battery Garland. This fort was built during the Spanish American War and today visitors can still view its original batteries, beach fortifications, military hardware, and the Officer's Row.
4. Fort Pulaski National Monument
This imposing fort was built during the American Civil War to protect Savannah and at one point came under siege. You can still see cannon fire damage on its thick brick walls.
5. A day trip to Savannah
This historic town was the birthplace of Georgia and was first settled in 1733 by British colonists. Largely undamaged by the civil war, it is one of the few major southern cities of the USA that still displays plenty of antebellum architecture and historic charm.
Since 1987, Tybee Island has celebrated Memorial Day in May with an annual Beach Bum Parade. This event is a reflection of the island's laidback beach culture and sees a parade of floats along with plenty of fun as onlookers and participants shoot each other with water-guns. Be prepared to get wet!

Centurion Systems, a leading South African manufacturer of gate and access automation equipment, has improved operational efficiencies in its IT environment, following its implementation of the CommVault Simpana Backup and Recovery software. The solution today caters for a fast-changing data centre that includes nearly 30 virtual servers as well as a 34-terabyte storage area network.
Several years ago, Centurion realised it needed to urgently review the solution it had in place for backing up its SAP environment if it was to cater for the growth in the size and complexity of its IT environment, says Paul Mearns, IT Manager at Centurion. In addition, the company ran into some licensing and support challenges when its previous backup software supplier was acquired by another vendor.
The company needed a solution that would interoperate with a complex environment, underpinned by the VMware server virtualisation solution and an EMC Clariion storage area network (SAN). Centurion Systems evaluated a number of the offerings available in the market before it decided that CommVault Simpana Backup and Recovery software would be the solution to its problem.
The deployment of the software was quick and painless, allowing Centurion to achieve its goal of putting a backup solution in place that fully protects all of its virtual platforms and ensures the integrity of its valuable business information. The software is intuitive and easy to use, which has meant that Mearns has been able to rapidly train his technicians to manage and support it, freeing up his time for more strategic IT concerns.
The software has proven able to support and scale with the massive changes going on inside the Centurion data centre. The SAP environment alone has grown from four servers to 13 in a compressed timeframe, but it has been easy for Centurion's IT staff to add new servers and applications to the backup process as required.
In future, Centurion is eyeing an implementation of the data de-duplication functionality of CommVault's software to achieve further cost-savings, says Mearns. By removing duplicate data records from its system, it will be able to avoid adding more storage to its network at a time that hard drive costs are soaring.
"I am more than happy with the CommVault product. It does everything I need it to, in a manner that is cost-effective, operationally efficient and reliable. It has taken the pain and worry out of data backup for our business," Mearns adds.

Q: Como emplear un ng-model con array Este es mi código http://plnkr.co/edit/oxtojjEPwkKng9iKkc14?p=preview
Quiero guardar uno o varios objetos en un array, tengo dos selects con las mismas opciones, el usuario decide si llenar la opción por defecto o llenar varias,
Debería guardarse de la siguiente manera:
likes[
  {sport: 'futball', points: 1}, {sport: 'tennis', points: 1}
]

pero como podría guardar los datos en un array en el ng-model de cada select?
porque quiero utilizar algo así como ng-model="array[$index].sport" o .point
no sé si sea posible

A: La forma es crear un array en tu controller.
$scope.coleccion = [] ;

Luego en el HTML pones algo así ng-model="coleccion[0].deporte"
Ejemplo:
<selectize placeholder='Pick some things...' options='myOptions'
           config="{maxItems: 1}" ng-model="coleccion[0].deporte"
           required='true'></selectize>

<input type="number" min="1" ng-model="coleccion[0].puntuacion" required>

Este es tu ejemplo con los cambios aplicados...
http://plnkr.co/edit/Va9wVojeoLWEtpcazfIP?p=preview
Recuerda presionar "save" para ver como queda el resultado.

A: si el ng-model esta dentro de un ng-repeat :

Controlador > $scope.likes = [];
Vista > ng-model="likes[$index]['sport']"

eso te va a funcionar bien.
intentalo primero, al parecer aun no pruebas con lo que tu mismo dices.

Окружний муніципалітет Маскока () — регіональний муніципалітет у провінції Онтаріо, Канада, розташований в Центральному Онтаріо: простягається від Затоки Джорджен-Бей на заході, до північного краю озера Кучічінґ () на півдні, на західному кордоні провінційного парку Алґонкін на сході. Площа регіону Маскока (6 475 км²) включає близько 1600 озер, що робить його популярним відпочинковим регіоном.

Щороку приблизно 2,1 мільйона людей відвідувають регіон Маскока, який складається із декількох сіл та міст і фермерських громад. Тут є декілька готелів на березі озера, курорти з гольфовими полями, заміські клуби і яхт-клуби. У Маскоку найкраще попасти з Торонто автом — це приблизно дві години їзди.

Історія
Маскока — одвічні землі племені оджибве, які європейські жителі проігнорували, поселюючись в Південному Онтаріо на землях більш відповідних для сільського господарства. Сам регіон Маскока багатий на озера і гірські породи, підходить для риболовлі, полювання, та захоплюючого відпочинку.

Регіон Маскока названий на честь індіанського вождя Месква Юкі ( або Chief Yellowhead) 1850-х років, племені якого належали озеро Маскока та число навколишніх мисливських угідь. Він настільки був шанований урядом Канади, що для нього державним коштом побудовано будинок в Орільї, в якому він проживав до своєї смерті.

Першопрохідець Девід Томпсон () склав перші карти регіону в 1837 році і, правдоподібно, таборував неподалік сучасного Бомаріс (). Лісозаготівельні ліцензії було видано уже в 1866; тоді і засновано селище Монк.

Підрозділи
Район складається з наступних громад:
 Брейсбридж ()
 Джорджен-Бей ()
 Бішопсґейт ()
 Гантсвілл ()
 Лейк-оф-Бейз ()
 Маскока-Лейкс ()

Paraquat Claim Eligibility for Injured Consumers
Since 1961, paraquat has been one of the most commonly used herbicides in the United States. However, because of the toxicity it has, it is allowed only under restricted use. As a consequence, only commercially licensed users can employ it. The main purpose of paraquat is weed and grass control. In the country, the herbicide is available in the form of a liquid that has various strengths.
Since paraquat is so harmful, it usually has blue dye added to it so that people cannot mistake it for beverages such as coffee, a sharp odor to prevent individuals from accidentally ingesting it, and a special agent that causes vomiting in the case of swallowing. It is worthy of note that paraquat manufactured in other parts of the world may not contain these ingredients, which makes poisoning more likely. There are multiple ways of exposure to this herbicide, such as:
ingestion: if paraquat does not contain safeguard additives, it can easily be mixed in drinks and foods and thereby ingested, which leads to severe poisoning
skin contact: the most serious exposure to paraquat through skin contact occurs if it happens over a long period of time, if the herbicide is strong and if the skin of the person is not intact, meaning that it has sores, cuts, or rashes
inhalation: when the vapors of paraquat are inhaled over a long period of time, this can result in serious lung damage
It is important to know that people who have the highest risk of exposure to paraquat are licensed applicators of this herbicide. When paraquat comes in direct contact with the lining of the mouth, stomach, or intestines, it immediately causes damage. After the herbicide enters the body, it spreads throughout every area of the body by traveling through the bloodstream and the lymphatic system. The most severely affected organs are the lungs, the kidneys, and the liver.

The Connection Between Paraquat Exposure and Parkinson's Disease
A 2009 medical study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology found that any exposure to paraquat within 1,600 feet of a home increases the risk of developing Parkinson's disease by 75%. Moreover, another study conducted on people exposed to paraquat at a young age revealed that the risk of the participants coming to struggle with Parkinson's disease increased by 200% to 600%.
Finally, in a more recent study from 2021, prolonged, low-level inhalation of paraquat implied a significant risk of Parkinson's disease in mice. Because paraquat can easily reach the brain once breathed in, the herbicide can lead to the development of Parkinson's disease over the years. In the summer of 2019, Representative Nydia Velasquez introduced the Protect Against Paraquat Act, whose purpose was to ban the use of this herbicide in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency has recently begun reviewing the dangers of paraquat and is to make a decision at the end of 2022.
Most people who are regularly exposed to paraquat are agricultural workers. It is important to know that if you were exposed to paraquat and subsequently received a Parkinson's disease diagnosis, you are eligible for filing a product liability claim against the manufacturer. For over 35 years, the team of professionals at Atraxia Law has been evaluating claims and is bound to provide you with quality services. Thereby, if you are a victim of paraquat exposure who struggles with Parkinson's disease, we strongly encourage you to contact our experts, who will determine whether you qualify for filing a claim with the company responsible for your diagnosis. You should know that only people who suffer from Parkinson's disease as a consequence of paraquat exposure are eligible for compensation.
Who Is at Risk of Developing Parkinson's Disease as a Result of Paraquat Exposure?
Since paraquat is highly toxic, being around it is never safe, as even small amounts can be detrimental to your health. Regardless of the route of exposure, whether it is ingestion, skin contact, or inhalation, you may develop Parkinson's disease if you spend time surrounded by this herbicide. However, there are certain categories of people who are at the highest risk of coming to struggle with this condition as a consequence of paraquat exposure, which refers to:
farmers and farmworkers
chemical mixers, tank fillers, herbicide applicators
people living around farming communities
Thereby, agricultural workers are not the only demographic that is at high risk of developing Parkinson's disease as a result of paraquat exposure, as anyone who spends a long time around it can eventually come to struggle with the condition. If you experience symptoms that may indicate the presence of Parkinson's disease, please seek medical attention immediately. Similarly, if you have a family member who worked with or was around paraquat and experiences symptoms, you should encourage them to visit a doctor in order to receive a diagnosis. Only people who have a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease following paraquat exposure are eligible for compensation from the liable companies.
Paraquat Exposure Causes Kidney Injuries
Paraquat's ability to produce life-threatening effects and long-term kidney damage has been highlighted by both the EPA and the CDC. Since the kidneys filter toxins out, the buildup of paraquat following long-term exposure gradually leads to renal damage and organ failure. When the kidneys don't function properly, toxins can spread to other organs and cause further harm.
Multiple independent studies have demonstrated paraquat's toxic renal effects that lead to irreversible issues like acute kidney injuries and end-stage renal disease. Paraquat exposure also has a high correlation with a condition known as chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology, as the only consistent factor across different geographies primarily affecting farmworkers.
Why Has Paraquat Become So Popular in the United States?
The use of paraquat has been skyrocketing over recent years, as the employment of the herbicide doubled from 2011 to 2017. One of the main reasons for the increase in the use of paraquat is that it is very effective in destroying weeds and grasses that are resistant to glyphosate, another toxic herbicide that is commonly sold under the brand name of Roundup in the United States. Consequently, paraquat has become a popular alternative to Roundup, which is manufactured by Monsanto.
In the past, only 3 million kilograms of paraquat were used annually throughout the country, whereas now, the number increased to 7 million kilograms. There has also been a great increase in the number of diagnoses of Parkinson's disease, which is undoubtedly a result of the increasing amount of paraquat employed by agricultural workers. Accordingly, the disease currently has a 107% greater prevalence than it had in the past.
Which Companies Manufacture Paraquat?
In the United States, there is one major company that manufactured paraquat, namely Syngenta. However, there may be other, more obscure manufacturers of paraquat. It is important to know the brand names paraquat is sold under throughout the country, which are:
Gramoxone
Cyclone SL 2.0
Helmquat 3SL
Bonedry
Devour
Para-Shot 3.0
Bonfire Herbicide
Parazone 3SL
Quik-Quat
If you worked with one of these products or were around it, you are at high risk of developing Parkinson's disease. For this reason, you need to keep a close eye on your health and, if you experience symptoms that may indicate the presence of this condition, we strongly encourage you to seek multiple opinions from medical specialists. Similarly, if one of your family members was exposed to paraquat, you need to pay close attention to their health and look for the signs of Parkinson's disease over the years. In the regrettable event that you or a family member who worked with paraquat has a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, please contact our team of experts to assess your situation and find out whether you are eligible for filing a claim with the manufacturers of paraquat.
What Is Involved in Filing a Paraquat Claim?
There are numerous aspects that need to be taken into consideration when filing a paraquat claim, such as:
when and how your family member was exposed to paraquat
when and how they received their diagnosis of Parkinson's disease
the way in which their life is affected by this brain disorder
the medical expenses incurred as a consequence of the disease
However, the team of professionals at Atraxia Law will thoroughly assess your specific circumstances and eventually tell you with certainty whether you are eligible for filing a claim for paraquat exposure. They will subsequently guide you to a specialized attorney whose main area of practice is toxic exposure so that you can have your claim filed with the responsible paraquat manufacturers.
Your family member must have been exposed to paraquat as a farmer, farmworker, chemical mixer, tank filler, herbicide applicator, or as someone who lived in close proximity to a farming community. It is also essential to know when their exposure took place and when they received their diagnosis, as paraquat exposure claims have a statute of limitations, which refers to a timeframe within which you can file a toxic exposure claim. This statute of limitations varies by state and, thereby, if your family member receives a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, it is very important to seek legal assistance as soon as possible so as to not lose your right to compensation.
Usually, Parkinson's disease affects the life of the sufferer to a great extent, which is another important aspect that will be taken into account when assessing the eligibility of your family member for filing a paraquat claim. Since this brain disorder is progressive, it tends to worsen over time, rendering the sufferer unable to perform simple daily tasks and consequently needing the help of another person. The routine of people who struggle with Parkinson's disease will change drastically over the years, as their condition worsens.
Furthermore, your family member who suffers from Parkinson's disease may no longer be able to hold down a job, which may take a heavy toll on their financial situation. They may also no longer be able to drive, another activity for which they will require assistance. All of these aspects will be taken into consideration when determining how severe their Parkinson's disease is. The greater the distress it is causing to your family member, the larger the sum of money you will receive after you file a paraquat claim.
Lastly, another crucial aspect that will be taken into account when evaluating the situation of your family member is the medical expenses incurred by their brain disorder. According to estimates, the annual cost of healthcare for a person with Parkinson's disease ranges between $1,750 and $17,560, depending on the severity of their condition. Consequently, the larger the medical expenses incurred, the larger the sum of money they will receive as compensation after they file a claim for paraquat exposure.
What Type of Compensation Is Available for Victims of Paraquat Exposure?
If the team of experts at Atraxia Law determines that you are eligible for filing a paraquat claim on behalf of a family member who is struggling with Parkinson's disease, you will receive financial compensation following claim submission. The sum of money will highly depend on aspects such as the severity of their brain disorder, how much distress it causes to them in their daily life, whether they need a caregiver, and the medical expenses incurred by their condition.
Accordingly, the compensation can range between $10,000 and $200,000. Only financial compensation is available for victims of paraquat exposure, which they can obtain after filing a toxic exposure claim with the liable manufacturers of the herbicide.
What Is the Statute of Limitations for Paraquat Claims?
The statute of limitations refers to the period of time within which a person can file a paraquat claim. It varies from state to state, ranging between 1 year and 6 years. However, for the majority of states, the statute of limitations is 2 or 3 years from the moment you receive your diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.
If you fail to file a paraquat claim within this timeframe, you will no longer be eligible for compensation from the responsible manufacturers. Therefore, it is essential to seek legal assistance as soon as your family member has their diagnosis, as the process of evaluating their eligibility, as well as that of filing a paraquat claim per se, is very complex.
Quality Assistance for People Affected by Paraquat Exposure
The team of Atraxia Law has been evaluating personal injury and product liability claims for the last 35 years and we are ready to help you as well if you were exposed to paraquat and developed Parkinson's disease. Please beware that Parkinson's disease is misdiagnosed in almost 30% of cases so second and third medical opinions are a must. While complex and tedious, the process will require minimal involvement on your part, as we are aware that most of our clients are in great physical and emotional suffering.
After you provide our team with evidence of your exposure to paraquat, as well as with your medical records as proof of your diagnosis, we will promptly evaluate your eligibility to file a claim with the liable company. If multiple companies are responsible for your diagnosis, you will be able to file your claim with each and every one of them to obtain the maximum compensation you are entitled to. For additional information, please feel free to contact our company and we will gladly answer your questions.

Help us gather the best IndyCar memories from 100 fans
IndyCar, IndyCar commentary, More Front Wing podcasts — By More Front Wing Staff on December 16, 2013 9:55 am
Last week, we asked you to help us come up with a big idea to help make our 100th podcast something special.
We had a lot of really fantastic entries, and we appreciated every single one. Some people asked us to be funny, some asked us to be festive in the spirit of the holidays, and others asked that we speak to people that would help us honor the sport's history.
But the theme that ran through most of our entries was striking: many people — in fact, we could even go so far as to say most people — asked us to pay homage to you (and to us), the sport's fans.
We were very touched by this. To us, it just felt right to dedicate this milestone in our brief history to the spirit under which this website was established in the first place.
And so, we've decided to go big. In honor of our 100th podcast, we're going to gather input from 100 IndyCar fans and hear about your favourite memories with the sport.
Young or old, new or veteran, we want to hear from you — what's your best memory of being an IndyCar fan? Was it an interaction with a driver, or a first race you attended live, or an on-track moment that's been stuck in your mind ever since?
We'll be gathering these over the next couple of days to put together in our 100th podcast to be released later this week. Please try to keep your submission to two or three sentences to make sure that we can fit everyone in. Please make your submissions by email to feedback@morefrontwing.com so that we can keep them under wraps until the podcast!
Oh, and by the way, the fan who gave us this idea and the winner of the Tony Kanaan die-cast is Imu Aloway. Congratulations! Please get in touch with us to claim your prize.
Let's hear from you, IndyCar Nation. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Cuca Beludo
The memories must be in text or audio ? I do not speak English very well and is in audio would be a bit complicated for me to do the reporting.
Steph replied:
We're taking submissions as written emails, Cuca — please send yours to feedback@morefrontwing.com. Thanks in advance for participating!
We've hit 10 submissions already! Keep them coming!
Ben Beckett
Went to free Friday at Detroit with my mom, dad, wife, and 11-month-old daughter. It was her first time being at a race weekend and her face lit up each time the cars came by us. Sharing a passion with her was fantastic.
My best memory was from 1977 as a 13-year-old growing up in Houston, Texas. A.J. Foyt won his fourth Indy 500. The whole city went crazy, and I was forever hooked on the sport.


"The old timers before me basically went to the same places for their whole career. For us, at the end of every year, we say 'well that worked out' but it didn't always seem like it was going to. Then you look ahead and you think holy crap, how are we going to make it work this year?"
Eric grew up on the Cape and has been harpoon fishing for bluefin tuna since 1984. Back in those days, it was a pretty lucrative career as there was growing demand from Japanese markets and prices were going through the roof. Plus Cape Cod was at the center of the giant blue fin industry so there was no shortage of supply.
But nowadays, due to climate change, the fishery has become much less predictable and the larger fish have moved north, to colder waters. And the change hasn't been linear. It too has been unpredictable. Eric likens it to these extreme storms we've been seeing this summer.
"There are things that climate scientists and marine biologists aren't really discussing but things we see every day. Watching the changes throughout my career, it's been pretty dramatic."
Climate change impacts the fishery in a number of ways. As the water temperatures warm, large fish migrate north to colder waters as colder water holds more oxygen, which is preferable by these fish. The center of the blue fin tuna industry is now by the St. Lawrence in Canada.
Another change Eric has seen this year has been the slowing of the Atlantic Ocean 'conveyor belt.' When he is out fishing for bluefin, he would have typically found concentrations of them around the edges of the conveyor belt, in the gulf stream eddies that occur. This past year, he didn't see any of those eddies, making it all that much more challenging.
"People come to the Cape and they order Cod or Haddock and they think 'finally, I've got some fresh fish' but most of it comes from Iceland, Canada or even Norway."
While the cod fishery is suffering the same fate as blue fin, there are some bright spots in the Cape's fishing future. One success story is that haddock stocks have started to make real progress.
Even though climate change is making fishing more challenging, Eric is optimist that the future of the fisheries due to the forward thinking nature of the Cape Cod Fisherman's Alliance. But he didn't go so far as to suggest a fishing career to either of his two sons.

CBHA - From Inception To Now
Since its inception in 1985 as the California Council of Community Mental Health Agencies, CCCMHA as it was known then, has endeavored to provide each member agency and their leadership with the support, assistance, and camaraderie that can help make a difference in the often-difficult task of running a nonprofit behavioral health agency.
Like many of your agencies, CBHA has grown dramatically over the years. As CBHA has expanded, our responsibilities and mandates have also increased exponentially. In 1999, CBHA was instrumental in the design and implementation of a pioneering, three-county program that served individuals experiencing homelessness, and people on parole or probation with serious mental illness. Using aggressive outreach and a whatever-it-takes-approach to match services to client needs, these programs achieved significant clinical outcomes for those served and saved millions of dollars by reducing hospitalization and incarceration costs. A good portion of our members also serve clients who are dealing with addiction and substance use disorders (SUDs).
Overall there has been a growing recognition that mental health and addiction services are part of the same community of behavioral health. The CBHA Board of Directors and member agencies, in response to this evolution, changed our name from Mental Health to Behavioral Health in 2016. In December 2017, we unveiled our new identity and now use the acronym CBHA instead of the former CCCBHA.
Historic Achievements
1999 - Implementation Three-County Program that Served Homeless People, Parolees, and Probationers
CBHA was instrumental in the design and implementation of a pioneering, three-county program that served homeless people, parolees, and probationers with serious mental illness (SMI). Using aggressive outreach and a "whatever-it-takes approach" to match services to client needs, these programs achieved significant clinical outcomes for those served and saved millions of dollars by reducing hospitalization and incarceration costs.
2004 - Mental Health Services Act
The passage in 2004 of Proposition 63, the Mental Health Services Act, was CBHA's proudest moment. It was not an easy decision for CBHA's board to commit such substantial resources to this effort when hardly anyone believed an idea such as this had a chance; however, CBHA's strong belief in the need to adequately fund mental health services prevailed, and it was largely through the advocacy efforts of CBHA's founder and co-author of Proposition 63, Rusty Selix and this association that the MHSA was passed by the voters of California. The passage of Proposition 63 has raised hopes and expectations throughout California, and while it will take years to fully realize its benefits, Proposition 63 will make an enormous difference in the lives of those who have heretofore been unable to access critically needed mental health services.
2009 - National Healthcare Reform and Behavioral Health Parity
The year 2009 saw the beginning of an economic downturn that has repeatedly threatened the funding for mental health services in this state. CBHA is working diligently with the larger stakeholder community to protect the funding base and ensure that as the public system grows through the
implementation of national healthcare reform and behavioral health parity, there are adequate resources to meet the needs of those with a mental illness or substance use disorder.
2011 - Realignment 2009 and 2011, Plus the Repeal of AB 3632
By 2011, the forthcoming implementation of the Affordable Care Act and a state budget deficit that was unprecedented, resulted in the consolidation of the Department of Mental Health Services and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Services into the State's main association for Health Care Services: Department of Health Care Services. During this time, the emphasis on behavioral health integration continued to grow along with a focus on the Triple Aim (reduced costs, improved quality of care and increased patient satisfaction). CBHA, in turn, focused its advocacy efforts and collaborations on ensuring the continuing changes in the system of care's funding (Realignment 2009 and 2011, plus the repeal of AB 3632) resulted in advancing community-based care and access to services.

When I walked in to Trellis, it was like stepping back in time to revisit the elementary school classroom in suburban New Jersey that my mother curated: equal parts exciting and chaotic. The walls in the space were haphazard; every year, the students vote on how to move the temporary walls. This year, one small room is a dedicated "maker space," where kids can take advantage of materials donated from a local biotech firm to make small machines and conduct experiments. One student had just made a water-propulsion system, better known as a squirt gun. A large table at the center of the biggest makeshift room hosted a German-style strategy board game that the kids of Trellis designed and made. The library had been recently reorganized to become a shrine to the Back to the Future–themed Rube Goldberg device the students assembled for a science competition at MIT.
Head over the Medium, read the article, and please get involved in the conversation through commenting and recommending. Thanks for your support!


Most women need to change their lifestyles at least somewhat during pregnancy. You might need to avoid soft cheeses, deli meat, alcohol, and other foods, drinks, or even activities. However, one thing you should not avoid is dental care. Many myths surround dentistry and pregnancy, and this can lead to increased risks for you, your smile, and your unborn baby.
1. Pregnancy does not affect the mouth.
Pregnancy can affect every part of your body, including your teeth and gums. Pregnancy gingivitis and pregnancy tumors are just two of the dental issues that can develop during this time. If you become pregnant, let us know so that we can monitor your smile for early changes and take preventative steps.
2. Your dental health is separate from your pregnancy.
Gum disease has been linked to serious health issues, including pregnancy complications. Getting a pre-pregnancy checkup is a good idea, but if you are already pregnant, now is a great time to get your teeth cleaned and checked for signs of dental issues.
3. Dental work should be avoided during pregnancy.
Delaying dental treatment could increase your risk for infections and pregnancy complications. Seeking timely treatment, even during pregnancy, is ideal. However, always let us know that you are pregnant and how far along you are so that we can take all necessary precautions to protect you.
Good nutrition and good dental hygiene are critical before and during pregnancy because they can keep you and your developing fetus healthier. Call us today to find out more or to schedule your appointment with our dentist.


In the heat of a scorching Jeju summer, Oliver Stone was at times unaware of his target last week.
The 36-degree heat had made its mark on his denim shirt, as it had on the marchers who were listening to his speech with earnest. They were still hoping that Stone's visit could reverse the seemingly inevitable naval base construction in the southwest of Jeju Island, South Korea.
Stone had arrived to warn locals of the "war, pollution and crime" that would befall them if the naval base at Gangjeong were built. Worse, the island's famed water would be undrinkable: "Your water will be contaminated...you will no longer be drinking out of a tap," he warned.
The anti-naval base movement had had celebrity support in the past, but none had yet set foot on Jeju to offer support. Noam Chomsky lent his voice to the campaign but stopped short of boarding a plane. This meant Stone's visit - particularly at such a late stage - came as a bolt out of the blue.
As Stone left the seafront stage, he appeared bedraggled and tired, particularly after a long march and demanding schedule. As the lights teased sweat from his brow, expecting to be rebuffed, I requested an interview. The response surprised me.
As we walked toward an empty tent we were followed by local and national press. Campaigners rushed in for profile shots and Stone smilingly obliged. Then followed the campaigners, brothers and Fathers Mun, the real celebrities of the Gangjeong Movement; they all embraced. "We'll have a chat once this is finished," Stone reassured me, genuinely.
The news that Stone was to visit Jeju had arrived a few weeks previously from a contact within the Gangjeong international team. I had not expected it to come to fruition, but a few days later an email arrived: "This is Oliver Stone's Jeju schedule," it read, with a detailed itinerary. He was actually coming, it seemed.
The anti-naval base movement fitted snugly into this thesis and Stone was loath to see history repeating itself. He was seeking to clear "the fog" that was allowing the South Korean government to build a provocative naval base on China's doorstep, to increase US reach in the region.
As we settle down in the tent, local news reporters poke camera lenses at us through the dark. I ask if the base was founded on fear: Does China not pose a threat to the United States?
"The threat has been manufactured," says Stone. "[The Chinese] spend just 10 percent of what the US spends on their military. The threat is being built up across the region," he says, reiterating what he had stated in his speech.
This talk of threats and US militarization sounded very familiar; it mirrored the themes of his documentary. It used to be the Soviets, but East Asia had - yet again - become the center. A rising China was encroaching on US hegemony and the hegemon was reacting as "a wounded empire...with great psychological weakness," says Stone. The Jeju base is part of this reaction.
Obama's "Asia Pivot" strategy, according to Patrick M. Cronin of Global Asia, seeks to "rebalance" the shift in "economic gravity" to the Asia-Pacific region. It was announced back in Nov. 2011 and detailed by defense chiefs in Jan. 2012.
While some US sympathizers cite this as essential to deal with growing regional uncertainty and aggressive Chinese territorial claims in the East and South China Seas, for Stone the US is "infesting the area" with an "informal blockade" from Japan and Korea to Malaysia, Singapore, and down to Australia.
"There have been some profound mistakes, but we still have a chance, I strongly believe, to correct them," says Stone.
Within this narrative, the base at Gangjeong is more than a military installation, it is the edification of fear to justify US military budgets and control of the seaways. It goes beyond symbolism, however. Stone spells out the reality in his speech.
"It will be the most forward navy base in the world, much more elaborate, much more sophisticated than the bases we have in Okinawa. There will be Aegis destroyers, anti-missile defences, cyber warfare, drones, and Patriot Missiles, too. This is serious, serious warfare," he warns.
The Jeju people are acutely attuned to the corollary of such fear; Stone, too, is well versed in the worst human rights abuse in South Korean history: 4.3, or the Jeju Massacre.
"Now what did these villagers do? They were basically trying to fend for themselves [and] farm...and set up...people's committees and peasant communes...but [they were] wiped out in cold blood with US approval," he says. "These ghosts...are now still there," he adds.
From the slaughter of Communist Greeks by the British after World War II, to the murder of Vietnamese villagers by US forces in the 1960s, the ghosts of the Jeju Massacre fit into the discourse of fear of the "Red Other" that Stone's work exposes in the post-1945 new world order.
Back in the current, yet still seeing things through a broad historical lens, Stone will not be fooled by the Chinese threat. History teaches him that the rhetoric of division often veils the hegemon's true intentions. He spells it out.
Supporters point to Stone's worthy humanitarian ideals in seeking to avert conflict, yet others criticize the unwarranted interference of a Hollywood star in a Korean dispute.
The Jeju Islanders had the chance, critics say, to make their voice heard loud and clear in the December 2012 elections, but base-proponent and current president Park Geun-hye was victorious, nationally and locally.
I suggest to Stone that this is the movement's Achilles' heel in terms of a public mandate: Two of Gangjeong's five wards - Daecheondong Je-2-tu and Je-3-tu - even voted for Korea's first female president, with only 211 votes between the candidates across the whole of Daecheon-dong, according to government statistics.
The lack of a democratic deficit problematizes the exploited-villagers thesis. But for Stone this is actually an indication of the shortcomings of a two-party system that pits citizen against citizen through manufactured division.
"I don't know much about the political situation in Korea, but it is definitely a bipartisan issue," he says.
The base debate is certainly split along party lines and in the crowds around our tent fly trade union flags as might be expected at any workers' strike. Stone feels it is a natural reaction to the right-wing lurch regionally.
"There is no dictatorship in South Korea now, but you have a president now who's father was a dictator...You have increasing tension across the region and government moving towards the right in both Korea and Japan," he says.
Avoiding the minutiae of local politics, Stone touches on this increasing regional tension in his speech.
"We are in a very difficult situation. A situation now, that is throughout the Pacific. It is easy now to get in a war. Korea is on the frontline. Jeju is 500 k.m. from Shanghai. You are on the frontline. I am very scared about that situation," he says.
This threat has very little stature back in Stone's backyard and the base is an almost unknown. I ask if addressing this was one reason for the visit: Would he be taking the fight back home?
With this moment of realism the noise from the stage increases and the conversation is drowned out. Stone promised on stage to "make documentaries about Jeju," and I ask finally if anything is in the pipeline.

Marvel Studios' Phase 4 Announced, Multiple Projects Coming
The slate is finally here!
By Jessie Wade
Updated: 25 Jul 2019 6:55 pm
Posted: 21 Jul 2019 12:37 am
At Marvel Studios' panel in Hall H at SDCC on Saturday, Kevin Feige announced there will be 10 projects in Phase 4 for the MCU – before adding in a couple more titles.
First announced is the Eternals for November 6, 2020, which is said to be entirely new and different for the MCU. Angelina Jolie is cast as Thena, Salma Hayek as Ajak, Richard Madden as Ikaris, Lauren Ridloff as Makkari, Brian Tyree Henry as Phastos, and many others. Ridloff playing the first deaf hero in the MCU and said, "I'm so honoured to be here."
Jolie added that, "We've all read the script, we all know the task ahead, we all know what you deserve."
Marvel Phase 4: Official Lineup
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier are set for a release date in Fall of 2020. On stage, Anthony Mackie held the Captain America shield and talked about what's next for Falcon. "I'd like to explore the Falcon as a character. What kind of a man is this man? We'll find out."
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has been announced with a specific release date of February 12 2021. Feige told the crowd, "The Mandarin is in this film," who will be played by Tony Leung. A 10 Rings logo was shown in Ant-Man, which Feige alluded that fans probably missed the tease. Destin Daniel Cretton will be directing the film.
WandaVision is next and was announced for Spring 2021. Feige said the show itself is strange, with Elizabeth Olsen adding,"We're going to get weird, we're going to go very deep." The show will take place after Avengers: Endgame and other MCU characters will show up. Feige used the word "strange" multiple times, possibly hinting that Doctor Strange will appear in the show.
Paul Bettany on stage add that, "Every time we do one of these the stories get richer and richer and this is the richest yet."
Loki was also announced for Spring 2021, with his series connecting him to Avengers: Endgame. The scene where he steals the Tesseract/Space Stone was played on screen, and Feige said, "This series will tell you what happened to Loki right after that."
Tom Hiddleston joined Feige on stage and said to the crowd, "You guys saw Avengers, right? He's still that guy. The last thing that happened to him was he got Hulk smashed." Adding that, "It is one of the most exciting, creative opportunities I think I've ever come across. This is new territory, a new world."
On May 7, 2021 Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness will be released – the second Doctor Strange film in the MCU. Scott Derrickson is directing, and there is a psychedelic weirdness to the movie and will be a gothic horror. "If I'm going to do it, it's going to have to do what the comics did," Derrickson said.
WandaVision will be tied directly to this movie, with Elizabeth Olsen coming back out on stage saying, "We haven't done that yet… and I think it might be the future."
Marvel Phase 4 Comic Con Panel
Marvel's first animation, called What If…? is coming in Summer 2021, and is, "Something Marvel Studios has never had the opportunity to do before," Feige said. He also noted that a huge majority of actors will be reprising their roles for it.
A Hawkeye TV series was officially announced for a Fall 2021 release, which will star Jeremy Renner. Kate Bishop was also confirmed for the series, but her role is unknown. "We'll explore more of his time as Ronin," Feige said on Hawkeye's character in the show, which will also be about teaching someone else to be a superhero without superpowers.
Thor 4 officially has a title now, called Thor: Love and Thunder, with Natalie Portman confirmed for the role of female Thor. The movie will be released on November 5, 2021, with Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson in the movie as well.
Natalie Portman wielded Mjolnir onstage saying, "It feels pretty good" to be back in the MCU, but with a Hammer this time.
The Black Widow movie premiere date has been announced for May 1, 2020, along with the cast, which includes Stranger Things' David Harbour as Alexei, Florence Pugh as Yelena, Rachel Weisz as Melina, and O.T. Fagbenle as Mason.
In a clip that was shown in Hall H, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow can be heard saying, "I used to have nothing but then I got this job, this family was better because of it. But I've made mistakes, I can't go back."
The city of Budapest was also shown, and Harbour confirmed to IGN that the Black Widow movie will take place after Captain America: Civil War and before Avengers: Infinity War.
The Marvel comic from 1973, Blade, has been announced for the MCU, surprising fans in the panel – with Mahershala Ali starring in the movie. When asked why a Blade movie right now, Feige told IGN exclusively, "Blade now because of Mahershala, and Mahershala because he loves Blade."
Stay tuned to IGN for more details on Phase 4 of the MCU, all of the faces of the new MCU slate of movies and shows, and check out our exclusive interview with Scarlett Johansson on Black Widow's character arc through Endgame and what we can expect from the upcoming Black Widow movie.

Our website is being updated. Basic information is still available, but look for our new look Summer 2017!
Since July of 2013, members of the Montbello Community have met, at the inquiry of two foundations, to examine existing assets as well as ways to improve the community. The primary purposes of the exploratory committee have been to determine ways to begin engaging the larger Montbello community in organizing, pinpointing leadership and potential funding streams to support these efforts.
Lack of a voice– This is the most prevalent theme; residents feeling as if they do not have a voice about the things happening around them. There is a lot of "reacting" and responding to what the economic and political powers want, rather than being a part of the process.
Changing demographics with very little collaboration and interaction between cultures – specifically Latino and African American.
Transportation– Inefficient public transportation to get back and forth within Montbello. Ensuing Lightrail project is potential a prompter of gentrification.
Schools – Low scoring school. Poor parent and community engagement in decision making.
Health care– New Denver Health Clinic a plus, but more needed, especially in the area of wellness, health care testing, and prevention.
Food instability/hunger – High percentage of children and families who are on food stamps and are regularly food insecure.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The Florida State men's basketball team is two victories away from winning the first national postseason tournament in school history. The top-seeded Seminoles face Minnesota in the NIT semifinals tonight.
Florida State has made a drastic turnaround after losing seven of 10 Atlantic Coast Conference games during a January-February stretch. The Seminoles closed the regular season winning 3 of 4, won a game in the ACC tournament and has won three NIT contests.
The Gophers beat the Seminoles 71-61 in December. Minnesota finished seventh in the Big Ten regular season standings and was given a No. 1 seed in the NIT. The six teams in front all earned bids to the NCAA tournament.
The Seminoles were one of the first four teams left out of the NCAA tournament.
The Gophers will be without center Elliot Eliason with an injured ankle. Mo Walker will start in his place.
Tonight's tip off is set for 8 o'clock, we'll have the pre-game coverage beginning at 7:30 on KROC AM.

PCHS tie-dyes for science
Published 9:10 am Wednesday, May 4, 2016
By Nicole Burns

Phil Campbell High School students recently got a groovy lesson. Candace Golliver with UNA's Science in Motion visited Mitzie Posey's class to teach the students the art and science behind tie-dye.
"We're looking at how those dyes chemically bond to the shirts as opposed to the dye that just physically bonds to the shirt and stains it," said Golliver. "After a while, it will fade out, where these should maintain their color."
The students were excited about the hands-on experiment. "It was a really different experience from the past assignments," said PCHS junior Jacob Litteral. "Normally in a school setting we have book work or homework and that kind of thing. This hands-on experience in chemistry class was an eye opener to the possibilities of working in a scientific field with chemicals and formulas and so forth."
Before any color splashed onto the stark white shirts and bandannas, Golliver and Posey carefully went over several pages of safety precautions and instructions. "I went over with them about soaking the shirts in the basic solution so that the hydrogen bond is pulled off so that the dye can chemically bond to it," said Golliver. "Sodium carbonate is a basic solution. It helps raise the pH."
After safety and instructions were covered, Golliver shared some helpful hints for students before they were released to create. "If you use too much dye, and you put it in that bag, it's all going to mix together and you'll have a brown shirt," warned Golliver.
"It's really fun," said Litteral. "I, in the future, plan on pursuing chemistry, so this is an opportunity for me to see chemical reactions happen. I'm planning on being a polymer chemist."


When it comes to the Academy Awards, the awards are based on the content of a film for the Best Picture and other similar categories. But the nominations automatically restrict a specific set of a genre as the critical acclaim and quality get minimised in some genres that make it stay away from the awards. After the announcement of Oscars on their new category for awarding the Best Popular films, the genre restriction won't be a problem with that development.
But the audience expressed mixed reactions to the addition of the new category, calling it a needless development from the team. The unexpected reception by the people was shocking for the Academy members and they seem to have discussions for calling off the idea at initial stages. The Popular category will be a great development if executed properly and will serve the awards for the People's favourite acclaimed films that deserve a recognition.
The hot buzz is that Marvel Studios are working hard to get an Oscar nomination for Best Picture for their film Black Panther which was a commercial and critical blockbuster. The film made its record gross in the domestic box-office and emerged as all-time third highest grossing films in the US. The Studio has reportedly hired the Academy Strategist Cynthia Swartz to campaign for nominating the film. The movie got a huge critical praise in recent times for a superhero film with the Ryan Coogler showing a masterclass direction.
It is still unclear both about the nomination for Black Panther in Best Picture and the condition of the possible new Popular film category in Oscars, while the makers and fans are eagerly looking forward to an entry of a Marvels film to the Academy Awards.


Drunk history | "I of my own knowledge…"
They have a point. It always astonishes me, saddens me, too, when people say history is dull, is nothing but lists of dates, etc., etc. Not so. History is STORIES. Once experience the endless fascination of it, you're hooked for life. But, it's all in how they're told.

Justification (being declared righteous) and sanctification (starting to live righteously) go hand in hand. You cannot have the one without the other.
Being "in Christ Jesus" isn't only a positional reality, it's also a practical reality. Actually, if there's no practical evidence, we may have to wonder if we're truly in Christ. God didn't save us to only enjoy our position; He also saved us in order to live in harmony with His word and will. It's rather simple: if there's no fruit, there's no root. Our position and practice are two different sides of the same coin. They are fully related.
Today we've one of the more famous passages: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" (Eph. 2:8-9). These verses emphasize God's grace and faith being the channel by which we receive His salvation.
When we consider grace, we see two main points. First of all, "And this is not your own doing." Grace and our "own doing" cannot co-exist. Paul stated that as follows: "But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace" (Rom. 11:6). Grace excludes "your own doing"—your own works.
Secondly, "it is the gift of God." Grace is synonymous with God's gift. The gift of salvation is solely by His grace. There's no entitlement or earning. God designed salvation in such a way that "no one may boast." That brings us to today's verse, which starts with a cause—for.
The reality of being "in Christ" is not just a nice concept, it's an absolute practical truth, not just in how we relate to our Father, but also to one another.
As stated before, many times Paul could've made his statements without adding "in Christ." "As God forgave you" makes the exact same point. However, he added "in Christ." The reality of being "in Christ" is vital, not only in relation to understanding and experiencing God's relationship to us, but also our relationship with one another. Let's consider both.
Not only are we to grow in our understanding and experiencing of being "in Christ" in relation to God, our Father, but also in relation to our brothers and sisters. They have the same blessings and gracious benefits that we have. Consequently, we're to relate to them accordingly.
That's what Paul clearly stated in this verse. As God is kind, tenderhearted, and forgiving to us "in Christ," even so are we to "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another." There's a definite connection between truly living in the reality of being "in Christ" and how we relate to one another. The more we realize how God treats us "in Christ," the more we will treat our brothers and sisters accordingly, reflecting God's kindness, tenderheartedness, and forgiveness.

I have to admit, I've never understood the appeal of cranberry sauce. I didn't grow up eating sweet dressings and sauces, so I didn't have a taste for it. Plus, the only cranberry sauce we ever had as a kid was that gelatinous stuff that comes out of a can. Definitely not something that I ever thought looked appealing. So as an adult I wasn't too motivated to try any of it, either! But Mr. Magpie asked for cranberry sauce, so I went looking for something to make fresh.
Oh friends, I had no idea!! This cranberry sauce is so good. So very, very good. I eat it straight. I eat it on ice cream. I eat it on toast. I can't stop. It's based on a recipe I saw last year on the BBC Food. The recipe is no longer on the site, so I had to wing it a bit, but it's pretty close. It's incredibly delicious. Plus it's a nice excuse to buy a bottle of Port.
1. Remove zest from oranges, set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan place the sugar and 1/4 cup of the Port. Squeeze the juice from the 2 oranges into the pan. Place on low heat and stir until sugar is dissolved.
3. Add cranberries, apple and orange zest. Cook over medium heat, stirring occassionally, 10-20 minutes or until soft and thick.
4. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 1 T Port.
For fun, give each person (or every two people) a small serving in a vintage glass punch cup with just enough sauce for one or two. It'll save on passing dishes and add cottage charm to your table.
And don't forget to eat the leftovers over ice cream.


BOSTON—Snapper, one of the most popular fish fillets ordered in US restaurants, is often anything but snapper when it shows up at your table, according to one investigation released earlier this month. But even real snapper comes at a cost: Flaky, whole fillets that fit attractively onto one's dinner plate are usually sourced from immature fish harvested before they could reproduce. And that has startling implications for the health of many of the world's marine fisheries, including Indonesia's — the world's largest snapper/grouper fishery.
Seeking to help shift this trend toward a sustainable model, five companies today, in partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC), signed an agreement Sunday at the Seafood Expo North America in Boston to avoid buying juvenile fish from the Indonesia snapper/grouper fishery, joining the ranks of now 10 major fish processors and importers that have all signed on to this growing movement.
While bigger may be better with some types of fish, the American market is currently driving demand for smaller snapper. But a market preference for these juvenile fish is impairing the long-term sustainability of the fishery. Avoiding the purchase of immature fish, on the other hand, ensures that each fish can contribute to the reproductive cycle at least once.
Earlier this year, three US-based companies—Norpac Fisheries Export, Netuno USA (the largest U.S. importer of frozen snapper) and Anova Food—made commitments to a minimum trading size for snapper/grouper. Together, such agreements will enhance traceability and transparency in Indonesia's fisheries, and will position this fishery for formal recognition of its sustainability, such as certification to Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) sustainability standards.
A seafood producer of increasing global prominence, Indonesia is home to the world's second-largest fisheries and the third-largest aquaculture sector. A key fishery for the nation is its snapper/grouper fishery: Here, an estimated 10,000 fishing vessels, from motorized canoes to large ships, catch about 80,000 metric tons annually, with an estimated retail value of nearly U.S. $350 million.
However, government assessments indicate this sprawling deep-slope fishery comprising over 100 species of snapper, grouper and emperor is in trouble: the Indonesian National Commission for Fish Stock Assessment rates the snapper/grouper fishery as fully exploited or over exploited.
"The Indonesian snapper fishery has been a mainstay of the seafood industry for fishers and processors alike for decades," Blane Olson, managing director for Anova Technical Services, said. "Given the strong continuous market demand in the United States and the growing demand for snapper from China, it is imperative that today, we work collaboratively to ensure that all snapper are harvested sustainably, and of a size that ensures sustainable replenishment.
"Consequently, plate-size snapper fillets, which come mainly from immature snapper, are no longer acceptable as a harvestable and marketable size. To make the switch, the whole supply chain, including supermarket retail and food service markets, must also be accountable and eliminate the demand for immature snappers, which puts fisheries at risk of being unsustainable," Olson said.

South Holland CID lays out evidence for keeping community safe
By Winston Brown
winston.brown@iliffepublishing.co.uk
From Sherlock Holmes to Inspector Morse, Miss Marple to Prime Suspect, Z Cars to Line of Duty - the nation's thirst for TV crime dramas is unquenchable.
But for Detective Inspector (DI) Paul Coleman and South Holland's Criminal Investigation Department (CID), based at Spalding Police Station, fighting crime is a fact of life.
He said: "South Holland is a low-crime area compared to other parts of the country but people don't necessarily understand that we can only do what the law allows us to do.

Okay, so even though I am the lamest person on the planet for not getting this rolling before now, the new season of Kiskaloo is off and running as of this morning. The new challenge will be to keep this Blog interesting without the comic on it. I'll be working on that. But to all who stuck with me during the down time - thanks! Have a great September!
