Ocean County Press Release
Ocean County and Stafford Township Partner to Open Lake
STAFFORD TOWNSHIP – A partnership between Ocean County and the Township is helping to re-open Manahawkin Lake at A. Paul King County Park off of Route 72 here, for swimming.
"Situated on Manahawkin Lake, this park lies nestled in the heart of the township," said Ocean County Freeholder John C. Bartlett Jr., who serves as liaison to the Ocean County Department of Parks and Recreation. "I am pleased to join with Mayor John Spodofora in announcing that starting Saturday, July 16 we will be providing lifeguards at the beach and swimming will resume there."
Bartlett noted that Mayor Spodofora had approached the county recently to discuss reopening the lake for swimming.
"This is a partnership that will allow us to open this lake for swimming so residents here can get full use of this park," Bartlett said.
Spodofora noted that residents are anxious to get back into the lake.
"I truly appreciate Freeholder Bartlett and the Freeholder board for stepping up to assist us in having this lake available to township residents for recreational purposes," Spodofora said. "I am pleased we have worked together to make it happen."
Stafford Township will provide a seasoned lifeguard supervisor to oversee the lifeguards provided by Ocean County and the Township.
Bartlett noted that Township Councilman Henry Mancini has been doing a yeomen's job in finding lifeguards for the lake.
"He has been making a lot of phone calls and knocking on doors to find qualified lifeguards for this site," Bartlett said. "We appreciate his efforts."
Bartlett said that combined efforts on the part of the county and the township to eliminate problems that have resulted in the lake being closed to swimming appear to be successful.
Bartlett said the county's goose management program along with the township redoubling its efforts in cleaning nearby storm drains and drainage basins has resulted in improvements to the water quality in the lake.
"We are cautiously optimistic that we can keep the lake open for swimming throughout the summer season," Bartlett said.
The lake will be open for protected swimming Saturday and Sunday. Hours will be extended into the week once all the lifeguard positions have been filled.
"We will post the hours once they are extended," Bartlett said. "For now, lifeguards will be at the lake on the weekend."

A Maze
The design plans to resemble the annual rings in the tree to evoke the sense of ageing. Apart from the notable depiction of the annual rings via a maze design, it is the shape of a pentagon inside a hexagon that truly symbolising the growth of an annual ring every year.
Being a huge bench, it aims to reflect on communal and shared spaces by having able to access from all sides and for large groups mingling respectively. The "core" of the bench can also be used to surround a tree, making this a tree bench.
The construction of the bench consists of ten pieces of 28mm thick raw wood planks at various length and angled ends cut according to the design. For the support underneath, the wood planks will be bolted to 4mm thick galvanised steel plate welded with fourteen 40mm thick steel pipe (with base plate bolted to ground) at certain structural vertices of the design.
The bench is meant for outdoor installation with the raw wood planks from the old national stadium, hence minimal maintenance is needed due to its simplicity and structural capacity. Having exposed to rain and sun, the raw wood and galvanised steel would weather similar to an ancient labyrinth.

A Sommelier's Guide to Starting the Most Fabulous Wine Collection
We asked two sommeliers to share their secrets to building an impeccable wine cellar, be it for pleasure or profit.
By Lauren Wicks
Andrea RuggGetty Images
Whether you've been a connoisseur for years or the pandemic has allowed you extra time to discover a new passion, wine collecting is an exciting way to not only learn more about the historic beverage, but also refine your palate, boost your hosting prowess, discover more of our beautiful world, and even make a major profit. But where to begin?
Wine collecting is certainly not for everyone, as it requires plenty of research, funds, and care, but it is an extremely rewarding pursuit for those passionate about wine's history, future, and ability to elevate any occasion. We sought out Master Sommelier and SommSelect Co-Founder Ian Cauble along with Lydia Richards, certified sommelier, founder of Vino Concierge, and co-founder of Hispanics in Wine to help you embark on a journey to become a successful and savvy collector.
What to Consider Before Starting a Wine Collection
"Starting a wine collection is a romantic idea, but it takes a lot of budget, years to develop, and it's not as easy as you might think," says Richards. "My first suggestion for anyone considering it is to determine your purpose. Is it a passion project where you focus on what you want to drink and take close care of your wines or is it for profit?"
Richards says that whichever your motivation for starting a wine collection is, it's going to require time and money up front, as you'll want to purchase bottles that are both capable and benefit from aging, and 90 percent of all wines don't meet this criteria. You'll also need plenty of space to store your wines, whether that's building out a cellar, investing in a few top-quality wine fridges for your basement, or paying a monthly fee to store your wine in a specially designed warehouse. However, if you have the capital, space in your home (or a willingness to pay for monthly wine storage), patience, and a hunger to learn, there are plenty of ways to make starting your collection less daunting.
Seek Professional Help
Master Sommelier Ian Cauble encourages those who are ready to invest their time and money into a wine collection to seek out an expert to help them begin their journey.

If you're prepared to delegate quite a bit of time and money into creating a fabulous wine collection for enjoyment or as an investment, it's worth consulting an expert in this field to discuss your budget, taste preferences, and motivation behind collecting. Cauble says the private client services department at SommSelect, his highly lauded online wine club, shop, and education business, is primarily focused on helping people fill their cellars right now because today's emerging collectors want the best advisers, and a sommelier is your best bet for finding, well, the best bets in wine. He says working with a sommelier can actually save you some money in the long run.
"The great thing is, a lot of my favorite wines of the world are between $45 and $55, and if you buy well and have the right consultant, you can fill your cellar with a bunch of brilliant wines that age incredibly well and will continue to drive up in value," says Cauble.
Those lacking extensive wine knowledge can end up making some unwise investments. For example, Cauble says 2014 was a wet year for Italy, and you d0n't want to stock your cellar full of fabulous 2014 vintages because they won't age as well as others, but not just anyone would know this. Additionally, while he and Richards both advise subscribing to and perusing respected wine publications to discover the next great collectible bottles, those wines with the highest ratings aren't always the best for collecting. Most are likely at their best now and won't be after a decade or longer, so having the expertise of a sommelier can help you determine which wines are truly collectible and age-worthy for building the ultimate cellar.
Choose Your First Wines Wisely

Where does one begin wine collecting with so many varietals, regions, appellations—not to mention sub-appellations? Richards's advice, whether you're collecting for passion or as an investment, is to choose bottles that you like to drink or would serve at your own gathering, letting other people stock up on the bottles of varietals you don't like as much. She and Cauble both agree that you'll never go wrong by seeking out old-world favorites.
"Starting a collection with the classic wines of the world is the best way to build," says Cauble. "Just like if you have a music collection, you want a broad range of hits so that, depending on the mood, you can put just the right CD in, and the same goes for wine. You should have the classic wines and a selection of five to 10 producers of 'new wave' Napa, and it's fun to have new and old world examples of the same wines, like Cabernet Sauvignon."
These classic wines are primarily from France and Italy. When it comes to France, seek out Bordeaux's Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the Loire Valley's Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc, Champagne's namesake bubbly, Burgundy's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Sancerre's namesake white, and Beaujolais's Gamay. Italy's top classic wines come from Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello di Montalcino. Other old-world favorites worth investing in are Spain's Rijoa wines, Germany's Riesling, and Austria's Grüner Veltliner.

"It's also about tasting a lot and seeing what you do and don't like," Richards says. "Sometimes I'll be hosting a tasting where people realize they don't actually like older wines and that should affect the way you collect. If this is a personal collection, it may require more tastings and replacing as you go along."
However, Cauble says, the more you taste and explore wine, the more your palate will change, eventually favoring earthy over sweet wines. He says the American sweet tooth will naturally gravitate towards a young Zinfandel at first, but most people will evolve in their taste preferences, eventually favoring acidity, minerality, tannin, and structure, which makes Barolo, Barbaresco, Burgundy, and the other old-world wines such long-standing favorites–and the most beloved by sommeliers.
"As you go on, and everybody's palate I know has done this, you start to go into the dirt," says Cauble. "The more wine you drink, the more you tend to crave the flavor of the earth and lean into wines like red burgundy, which is Pinot Noir grown in some of the great terroirs of the world, versus a fruit-forward wine from the Sonoma coast. Those wines are still delicious, but you may want to drink the more earthy wines with the smell of walking through a cold forest and dirt, dried leaves and fresh rose petals with all these high tone, savory aromatics of crushed rocks, dried cherries, and more umami-driven things like mushrooms. Over time people gravitate, and most roads lead to Burgundy."
He says if you talk to any of the world's great wine professionals, most will say their favorite wine to drink is Burgundy or Barolo because over 10 to 20 years, the most pleasure you'll get from a glass will be from many of the top old-world appellations. You can also find this from new world Oregon or California wineries, but it's a small percentage of wines made in a certain style.
Choosing Collectible Wines
Vintage champagnes from top producers are always a safe bet, whether it comes to elevating an occasion or ensuring a profitable investment.
SommSelect
Now that you know to opt for the classics, along with a few favorites and California bottles, it's time to ensure you're choosing the ones that are truly collectible, with a little room for personal preference and hosting-ready options.
"Look at vintage reports and historical pricing for wineries you're interested in," says Richards. "Of course, if you want something truly special for an occasion or to make your collection more valuable, I suggest checking auctions from Sotheby's and Christie's, which also have great historical records."
Vintage reports can be obtained easily through respected wine publications, such as Wine Spectator, Vintus, and Wine Advocate, says Richards. These magazines gather information from all the regions and wineries to determine which have the best selling potential and will be the most drinkable.
"It's like stocks and future predictions, but less risky because the market actually follows those rules for the most part," says Richards.
Cauble says that an age-worthy, collectible wine usually has "freshness of acidity," and plenty of structure, or tannin. You may not like some of these classic old-world wines so much in their infancy, but he says that just like humans, old-world style wine matures and can have a long lifespan with proper care. They are built for the long term and are often not great until at least seven or eight years later—some even need 10 to 15 years. He says you can still drink Bordeaux wines from 1949 right now that taste fantastic.
"This is why I sometimes have a problem with wine scores, because a lot of the time, the higher the score, the richer and riper the fruit, which means the wine won't age more than seven or eight years after the vintage," says Cauble. "There are so many great 90-point wines out there that will be such better values in the end because they have more acid now but may be able to age way better than the top-rated ones of today."
However, he says this is not the case 100 percent of the time, so be sure to discuss the top-rated wines you're interested in purchasing with an expert to determine if they will be age-worthy and are worth the investment for the long haul. A few of those producers who will often both get a top score and age well include Château Lafite Rothschild, Château L'Évangile, and Domaine Romanée Conti.
"A lot of really ripe, new world wines age like child actors, while the classic wines of the world aren't great child actors, but they will be absolutely brilliant at 20 years old," says Cauble. "Fill your cellar with these old-world foundations as 70 to 80 percent of your collection should be aging well for at least 8 to 15 years, some 20 to 25 years, and the rest can be those Napa favorites that will sit well for two or three years but then need to be consumed and replaced."
A Note on Natural Wine
While natural wine is an exciting movement, and it is the way many old-world producers have made their products for generations, it's not the best route for creating vast, age-worthy wine collection, says Cauble. Since natural wine is different from just organic or biodynamic options in that it's not made with sulfur, it likely won't have a long life in the cellar, even if it's grown in an old-world appellation and should be collected by enthusiasts with the intent of drinking within two years.
How to Buy the World's Best Wines
SommSelect is a highly lauded online marketplace and wine club that makes an excellent source for collectors of all kinds.
Besides top auction houses like Sotheby's and Christie's, Richards also recommends Liv-ex, a global, online marketplace for the fine wine trade that offers trend reports and determines the market price of your collection, along with being an excellent place to purchase some of the world's best bottles. Auction houses not only feel familiar for those who collect antiquities and art, but they offer an incredible education the bottles you're purchasing, along with other appellations and vintages.
When it comes to buying domestic wines, it's pretty simple to buy directly from the producer, but Cauble advises purchasing in the winter months so that the weather won't affect the quality of your purchase in the shipping process. However, he suggests only participating in a wine club if it's with a producer you really love and you will be able to drink your shipments within two years, since most new world wines won't age well.
While both experts advise making wine experiences a part of your travel itineraries, purchasing a few cases from the winery you fell in love with while jaunting through the South of France isn't so easy. The best European producers won't sell directly to the consumer and instead sell to agents, who sell to distributors, who sell to retailers, who then make these wines accessible to the consumer. However, making friends with your favorite neighborhood fine wine shop is an important part of becoming a good collector. They will likely be helpful in ensuring you can order the wines of the world that are most exciting to you.
SommSelect is a highly respected marketplace and wine club that offers a breadth of education on the best wines of the world, as well as daily deals on his team's favorites, all of which offer free shipping. Especially if you're considering selling a bottle down the road or will want to appraise your collection every few years, it's important to buy from the right sources to ensure you're getting the bottles you paid for—and that others will be able to understand its value.

"You can buy an amazing bottle, but if you don't have the right documentation or cellar to preserve it, the bottle wont be worth anything," says Richards.
Creating The Perfect Home for Your Wine Collection
If you have the space, building out a wine cellar will ensure your wine is preserved properly and easily accessible for any occasion.

Cauble says that wines are like people: some age well, and some don't. One of the best ways to ensure your wine collection only gets better with time is by investing in proper storage space. If your home has a basement, garage, oversized walk-in-pantry, or another cool space that receives little light, these could all be great locations for storing your wines if you don't want to build out a wine cellar. However, your wine environment should be created to be under the same conditions.
"Having great people, great food, and great wine all together is one of the great highlights of life, so a lot of people want to have access to great bottles just downstairs from the dinner table and are interested in having their own cellars," says Cauble. "If you don't wnat to build one, start with a Vinotemp, Euro Cave, or another temperature and humidity-controlled unit."

While a wine fridge is a fantastic addition to the kitchen when it comes to weekly drinking, Cauble advises splurging for a few 350-bottle Euro Cave units, especially if you live somewhere that's warm much of the year. Then, your valuable wine collection has some insurance if your power goes out and you're on vacation or out for the night. Otherwise, that $800 case of Barolo or that 1985 Bordeaux you've been saving for an anniversary could be at risk of spoiling. He says this is why Europeans have continued to build their cellars underground.
"The best cellars are 48 degrees under the earth with high humidity and no light," says Cauble. "When looking for wine storage, you want to be able to keep the humidity at 70 percent and temperature at 55 degrees with no light."
If you're short on space or would prefer to have someone else tend to your precious wine collection, Richards advises seeking out specialty wine storage warehouses in your area. She used to work for The Wine Cellarage in New York City that functions as both a shop and storage space to protect and track your wines—they'll even receive deliveries from your auction purchases and retailers. These businesses also make it easy to receive your desired bottles when hosting an event, often offering same-day delivery, and will even provide analysis of your collection or a certain bottle whenever needed to make selling a cinch.
Sommelier's Top Picks for Building Your Wine Cellar
Chateau Montelena is home to some of Richards's favorite Napa Valley wines.
"Once people start collecting, it's an addiction so start light and don't fill the cellar all at once," says Cauble. "Focus on just 30 percent of your cellar at first, then enjoy some of those, keep drinking and trying more wines, and go from there, unless you have a really great sommelier guiding you."
Cauble says if you're buying on your own, be wary of buying too much too soon from one producer because chances are, you won't end up liking the same California wine five years down the road because your palate will change, unless you've been buying from them for 10 years. Even so, seek to have a well-rounded collection.
"Definitely go for the world-renowned producers if you're using this as an investment," says Richards. A few of her favorite wines to start with outside of the old-world set include Chateau Montelana, Caymus, and Stag's Leap Wine Cellars, all out of Napa Valley. Additionally, she says White Burgundy has become a hot collector item, vintage champagne will always be a best buy, and old world dessert wines like Sauternes and vintage port are wonderful investments and fun to explore.
Besides the old-world appellations and their top producers, like Château Lafite Rothschild, Château L'Évangile, and Domaine Romanée Conti, the Napa-based Chauble loves many of the local wines there, especially the ones that are dry farmed, organic, and biodynamic, with similar growing and production methods to the best French regions. Two of his favorite Napa producers are Dominus Estate and Frog's Leap. He also suggests trying Penfold's, Australia's oldest wine making estate, that offers both reds and whites.

"Yes, collecting wine requires lots of research and maintenance but people will always be curious about luxury items like wine," says Richards. "The past two years has been such a boom for most wine products because of their future earning potential. Sure, everyone and their mother is making a wine brand right now, but people will always be interested in wine no matter how crowded the market gets. The world of wine is so exciting to be a part of because it's that right mix of tradition and innovation, and it has become so involved with travel and gastronomy."

Kim Smith Has Two Important Dates in NYC
Following a heartbreaking race at April's Boston Marathon, where she led for 17 miles before a leg injury forced her to withdraw, New Zealander Kim Smith will make her return to the 26.2-mile
distance at the ING New York City Marathon on November 6 in a field that will include defending champion Edna Kiplagat of Kenya and three-time U.S. Olympian Jen Rhines. But first, Smith will run the NYRR New York Mini 10K on June 11, her first race since Boston. Smith, who holds 12 New Zealand distance records, declares "I can't wait to step on the line in November for the ING New York City Marathon. I want to put my Boston Marathon experience behind me and I hope to do that in New York. Marathon weekend in New York is so exciting and it is a lot of fun to be part of the buzz." (photo of Kim Smith and young tug-of-war pals courtesy of New York Road Runners)
It was also announced that Smith's training partner, American 5000-meter record-holder Molly Huddle, will be part of a NYRR 5 on Saturday, November 5, the day before the marathon. The 5-mile race will have a pro field, prize money, and a course yet to be announced and will conclude under the marathon's finish-line barrier. Smith and Huddle were at Icahn Stadium yesterday with 2,000 schoolchildren for the New York Road Runners Mighty Milers Fun Run as part of the third annual National Running Day celebration. "Both Kim and Molly are young at heart and full of athletic potential," noted NYRR President and CEO Mary Wittenberg. "Their best remains in front of them, and that's so exciting for all these kids here with us today." More

Flooded barns and lost crops are just a couple of the emergencies farmers have to deal with after a disaster. Thankfully, there are federal programs and resources available to help with some of the costs, but seeking them out can be confusing and time consuming. The agency you contact will depend on the type of damage you have, so a farmer may have to go to three separate agencies for help.
Step 1: Take Pictures. Disaster programs need documented damage, so take pictures before you clean up, and take note of specific losses. Save receipts for any purchases you need to make during recovery.
Step 2: Know What Programs for Coverage Are Available. There are several different programs that address different needs of hurricane relief. For example, the Farm Service Agency (FSA) handles assistance specific to farms and farmland. The Small Business Administration handles disaster assistance for businesses. The Federal Emergency Management Agency handles household damages and reconstruction.
Step 3: Be Aware of Important Deadlines. Each program has different application processes and different deadlines. Make sure you get your applications in on time.
If seeking the help of an FSA program, be aware that most have an application deadline of 30 days after the damage or loss occurs.
If damage prevents you from planing, complete a Notice of Loss form and submit it to your local FSA office within 15 days of the planned planting date to determine eligibility.
If you participate in Risk Management Agency (RMA) federal crop insurance, report the damage within 72 hour of discovery, and follow up in writing within 15 days.


Outotec has successfully completed the acquisition of the majority of the shares in Biomin South Africa Pty. Ltd. and certain assets from Biomin Technologies S.A. in Switzerland. Outotec got the full intellectual property and marketing rights of BIOX® bio-oxidation technology. The transaction was announced on July 31, 2015, the acquisition price was not disclosed.
Biomin's BIOX® bio-oxidation is a proven method for the pre-treatment of refractory gold ores, and it complements Outotec's portfolio of gold processing technologies. BIOX®'s its annual business volume has been some millions of euros. The acquisition will not impact Outotec's financial guidance for 2015.
"Combining the BIOX® bio-oxidation expertise with our engineering capabilities and proprietary equipment, such as grinding mills, reactors, cooling towers and thickeners, we can provide gold producers complete sustainable plants with life-cycle services", says Robin Lindahl, head of Outotec's Metals, Energy & Water business area.


In a clinical trial, people volunteer to test the most up-to-date drugs, treatments, interventions or tests to help prevent, detect, treat or manage a disease or medical condition.
It usually involves the random allocation of participants to a treatment group that may include either the standard of care treatment plus the new treatment, or the standard of care treatment plus a placebo.
Each trial is conducted under stringent scrutiny and monitoring from an independent ethics committee to ensure patient safety and wellbeing, and the research outcomes may help determine if a treatment is effective, safe and how it compares to existing interventions.

Rattled by the icky incidents, Prospect Lefferts Gardens residents have turned to social media to warn their neighbors.
A serial spitter is on the loose in Brooklyn — hocking loogies on unsuspecting passersby young and old, disgusted residents say.
"Be on the lookout," one victim wrote on the neighborhood's community Facebook page, describing an encounter that she said took place on Flatbush Ave. near Lincoln Place.
"About 20 minutes ago, a young man wearing all black randomly decided to scream 'F--- you,' and spit in my face," the woman wrote.
Another resident said she was unlocking her bike at a rack on Lincoln Road when a tall and slender man in his mid-20s walked up. Without warning, the man spit in the face of her 3-year-old son, who was sitting in the bike seat.
"It was terrible-and scary because the guy was so close to my son (and really could have done much worse)," according to the mother. "But thankfully it all did not phase (sic) my son."
One victim wrote that he actually exchanged words with the spitter before being showered in saliva.
The man says he had just finished up a phone conversation outside a Planet Fitness gym when a man walked up and asked, "Are you following me?"
"Confused, I answer, 'No,' and he spits in my face," the man continued. "I stood there shocked more than angry."
Several incidents of a random man spitting into the faces of people near Prospect Park have been reported to police.
Residents told the Daily News they were irked by the incidents — and looking over their shoulders.
"It's bad enough people spit on the street but this is really gross," said Lynn Koehler, 60, who works in the neighborhood.
Stephen Masso, 22, who moved to the neighborhood six months ago, said he was repulsed by the reports. "That's pretty gross and very violent," Masso said. "Spitting or not, that's an act of violence, especially with the kids."
It's unclear how many incidents have taken place, but the Facebook posts suggest the spitter may have struck as many as 15 times.
At least four people say they have reported the incidents to the NYPD.
An NYPD spokesman confirmed that the 71st Precinct has received calls about a well-dressed spitter, but said there are no formal complaints on file.
The department asked anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS.

We believe wooden decking should be long-lasting, beautiful to look at and able to withstand the harsh Western Australian summers. At Revive Landscaping, we specialise in the installation of pool decking, patios and custom installations.
We're conscious of the importance of sourcing sustainable decking materials from environmentally friendly channels. In keeping with sustainability, we also use composite decking, which has a much smaller ecological footprint while still looking fantastic in any outdoor setting.
We take great pride in our workmanship and ensure all exterior grade decks and screens sanded back and oiled to the highest quality finish.
Fancy something bespoke? How about built-in benches or chairs? Or cleverly built in cupboards discreetly built into your walls? We can also build dining tables, patios or pergolas, just as you'd like them. Custom fabrication gives your home for unique, inimitable style and look sophisticated, seamless and timeless.
Timber screening – Traditional timber screens offer rustic appeal as well as a sense of privacy on your outdoor decking.
Aluminium screening – For a sleek and modern feel, aluminium screening provides privacy suitable to contemporary design motifs.
Composite screening – This is an environmentally friendly option, with a small ecological footprint.
Bamboo screening – Bamboo also has a small ecological footprint, and the screens produced by it are every bit as attractive as those cut from more traditional woods.
We can also work with you to create garden screen panels, and custom fabricated screening to enclose larger garden spaces.
In addition to enhancing the ambiance and privacy of your decking, there are many other useful applications for decorative screens and slat fencing in Perth. For example, you may install a perimeter screen to create a barrier of privacy between you and your neighbours.
A shed screen helps to conceal the storage facilities on your property. Similarly, galvanized mesh screens can provide a platform for your favourite climbing plant, such as a passion fruit vine, for example.


Jones was the centerpiece for the quarterback-needy Gators. He'll enroll early, which Mullen said will give him a chance to compete with incumbent Feleipe Franks for Florida's starting job.
Jones aside, Florida's next-most important signee might have been its lowest rated. Evan McPherson, the nation's top prep kicker, chose the Gators. McPherson had been committed to Mullen at MSU before following him to Florida. Former starter Eddy Pineiro announced Tuesday that he's leaving UF early for the NFL Draft, so McPherson could compete for the starting job right away.
Florida addressed another position of need with a pair of big men: 6-6, 305-pound Chris Bleich and 6-7, 305-pound Noah Banks, both offensive tackles. The duo adds depth and versatility to an offensive line that could lose starter Martez Ivey to the NFL.
Mullen also added a pair of tight ends in Kyle Pitts and Dante Lang and a pair of rushers in Dameon Pierce and Iverson Clement.
On defense, Mullen signed four defensive backs, including one from South Florida. Miami Carol City safety Randy Russell chose the Gators along with Amari Burney, Trey Dean and John Huggins.
Linebacker David Reese, who has the same name as another UF linebacker, rounded out the 13 signees. He'll help Mullen fill arguably UF's weakest position group and offers enough versatility to play nickelback and defensive line if needed.
With National Signing Day still ahead in February, Florida's recruiting class ranks 14th nationally. The Gators finished 11th last season. Mullen anticipates the class is only about halfway full, though, and said he'll reset the board and reassess needs.

March 25, 2008 – an excerpt from The Chip Insider IBM's R&D Partnering Model — up close and personal. I traveled to New York, camera in hand, to get a deep immersion course in what they are doing at both Albany Nanotech and at IBM's Fishkill facility.

I don't like to post nighttime photos, but since I made this fabulous recipe before daylight savings, you will have to deal with them.
I found this lovely cookbook called KEEPERS, and though a little beginner for me (show-off), some of these simple weeknight recipes have an unexpected twist.
I can't wait to try everything in the book!
Like these green beans with "sundried tomato breadcrumb pesto".
These were delicious. When I was cooking them, my husband asked if I was making shrimp scampi.
In a small bowl, mash or rub together with a silicone spatula, the breadcrumbs, sundried tomatoes, cheese, garlic and anchovy paste. Season with salt & pepper and set aside.
Cook your beans for 3 minutes in salted boiling water. Drain and pat dry.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the breadcrumb mixture and toast, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
Add in the blanched green beans and stir until coated with the breadcrumbs about 2 minutes.
We ate the entire pan for dinner, but I think they would be great served room temperature on a buffet with ham or turkey for Easter.
I love all the recipes -- even the EZ-PZ ones!
I made this on the weekend and it was delicious. It is crazy how some recipes have such a high return with such few ingredients. My normally green bean hating family loved these beans. Thanks for sharing.
I am so glad you tried it!
I think this crumb mixture would be good on anything. Kids will forget they are eating vegetables (even though I love green beans!).

A haunting occurs when a ghost or other supernatural being refused to move on after death, instead choosing to dwell among the living. Though most people associate hauntings with houses, a spirit or demon can attach themselves to just about any object, from jewelry to paintings.
Read on to learn about ten of the most haunted objects ever recorded in history.
A dibbuk box is a wine cabinet which, according to Jewish folklore, is said to be haunted by a restless, evil spirit that is capable of haunting and possessing the living. One particular dibbuk box became famous when it was listed on eBay along with a terrifying back story.
The story began in September of 2001 when an antique buyer and refinisher attended an estate sale in Portland, Oregon. The auction was held to sell off the belongings of a 103-year-old woman, and her granddaughter informed the antique dealer of the woman's past when she noticed that he had purchased a simple wooden wine cabinet. The old woman had been Jewish, the only one of her family members to have survived her time in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II. When she immigrated to the United States, the wine cabinet and two other items were the only things she brought with her.
The dealer took his purchase back to his shop and placed it in his workshop in the basement. Immediately, strange and frightening things started happening. He was called by his frantic shop assistant, who said that the lights had gone out, the doors and security gates had locked, and she heard terrible sounds coming from the basement. When he investigated, he discovered a terrible odor of cat urine lingering in the air, and every light bulb in the place had been smashed.
The dealer gave the wine box to his mother as a gift, and the woman immediately suffered a major stroke. In the hospital, she spelled out, "H-A-T-E G-I-F-T" as tears spilled from her eyes uncontrollably. He attempted to give the gift to several more people, but it was always returned to him within a few days, usually because people just didn't like it, or because they felt that something about it was evil. He began suffering from a recurring nightmare, and he later found that all of his family members who had been around the box were having the same dream. He started seeing shadow figures darting around in his peripheral vision, as well.
After finally admitting that there was something paranormal happening, he went online to research and fell asleep at his computer. When he woke up, he felt like something was breathing on his neck, and when, he turned his head he saw a huge shadow figure dashing away from him down the hall. He then decided to list the item on eBay, along with a detailed account of what had happened to him since obtaining the box.
In 1970, a woman shopping in a thrift store bought a Raggedy-Ann style doll for her daughter, who was in college. Her daughter liked it and put it in her apartment, but soon she and her roommate both noticed odd things happening involving the doll. It would move by itself, often being found in another room even though no one had touched it. They found small scraps of parchment paper, which they didn't even own, with childish handwriting scrawled on them. They even found the doll standing impossibly on its rag doll legs one day.
The frightened girls contacted a psychic medium, who told them that the doll was possessed by the spirit of a young girl who had died in the apartment building. "Annabelle," said that she liked the college girls, and wanted to stay with them, so they told her that she could. Unfortunately, granting the spirit this permission lead to increased paranormal activity in their apartment, including having a male friend get attacked by the doll one night, leaving vicious scratch marks all over his chest and torso.
In 2000, an anonymous eBay seller listed a painting created by artist Bill Stoneham called "The Hands Resist Him." This painting is now largely considered to be one of the world's most haunting works of art.
The painting features a boy and a creepy doll standing in front of a glass door. The painting was created in 1972 and purchased by Hollywood actor John Marley. It was then bought by a California couple before going up for sale on eBay along with a dire warning about the problems involved with owning the object.
According to the couple, the figures in the painting moved around at night, sometimes disappearing from the canvas entirely. The boy in the painting was said to actually enter the room where the painting hung, and everyone who viewed the painting reported feeling sick and weak. Small children would take one look at the painting and run from the room screaming. Adults sometimes felt like unseen hands were grabbing them, and others said that they felt a blast of hot air, as if they had opened an oven.
Even those who viewed the painting online claimed to feel a sense of unease, dread, or terror when looking at the painting. One person even claimed that their brand new printer refused to print the photo of the painting, however, it worked fine on every other print job.
Myrtles Plantation is an allegedly haunted bed and breakfast that is largely considered to be the most haunted home in the United States, as well as one of the most haunted houses in the world. The plantation dates back to 1796, and it was built on a Native American burial ground. Additionally, it is rumored to be the location of at least ten murders, and paranormal events are an almost daily occurrence.
Perhaps the most haunted item on the premises is a mirror that was added to the home in 1980. Guests of the plantation have reported seeing figures lurking in the mirror, as well as child-sized handprints on the glass. Legend claims that the mirror contains the spirits of Sara Woodruff and her children. The Woodruffs were poisoned to death, and though custom dictates that mirrors should be covered after death to prevent spirits from getting trapped, this mirror was not covered, so the belief is that the Woodruff souls are very much present and active.
In 1849, a girl from a rich family named Anna Baker fell in love with a low-class iron worker. Anna's father, Ellis Baker, refused to let her marry her beloved, banishing the young man from their hometown of Altoona, Pennsylvania and dooming his daughter to a life of spinsterhood. Anna was so angry with her father that she never fell in love or married, and remained bitter and angry until her death in 1914.
Before her father sent her true love away, Anna had chosen a beautiful wedding dress that she intended to wear at their wedding. When the wedding did not occur, another wealthy woman from a local family, Elizabeth Dysart, wore the dress instead, gloating the entire time. Years later, the wedding dress was given to a historical society, and eventually, the Baker mansion was turned into a museum. The wedding dress was placed in a glass case in what was formerly Anna Baker's bedroom. After her death, visitors claim to see the dress move on its own, especially during full moons. The dress sways from side to side as if an unseen bride is standing in front of her mirror, admiring herself in the gown.
Investigators who have searched for drafts and other naturally occurring circumstances have come up empty handed. No one can be sure why the dress sometimes moves by itself, though many speculate that the spurned bride, Anna Baker, has reclaimed her dress at last.
Newport, Rhode Island is one of the oldest towns in the United States. Settled in 1690, by the early twentieth century the seaport town had become a hot summer destination for some of America's wealthiest families. The mansions of Newport are legendary, as are the many ghost stories that accompany buildings that have been around for so long.
Belcourt Castle was founded by Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, a wealthy American socialite, and politician, in 1894. There are many different documented hauntings within this lavish home, but perhaps the most famous haunted objects in the castle are two chairs that reportedly have spirits attached to them. Visitors who sit in the chairs say they immediately feel cold, queasy, and uncomfortable. Their hands feel like they're pricked by static electricity when held near the chairs, and many people have claimed that they've felt like they're sitting on someone when they attempt to sit in the chairs. Several visitors have actually been ejected from the chairs by an unseen force.
In 1896, this creepy doll belonged to a child named Robert Eugene Otto in Key West, Florida. The doll had been given to him by a servant who practiced black magic, and who disliked the boy's family. The little boy adored his doll, and would often talk to him at length. Servants in the Otto home became concerned, however, when they swore they could hear a phantom voice talking back to the boy, and neighbors claimed to have seen the doll moving from window to window in the Otto house when no one was at home.
Soon, the doll started causing mischief, and the frightened child would claim that he had no part in it. Rooms would be messed up, vases smashed, and little Robert would be blamed, even though he seemed extremely afraid and insisted that his doll had done the deeds.
Robert inherited the house and died in 1972, so the house was purchased by another family. A little girl who had just moved into the home found the doll in the attic and was instantly afraid of it. She said the doll was alive and wanted to kill her. The doll finally wound up at an art gallery and historical museum in Key West, where it remains on display to this day. Oddly enough, visitors to the museum claim that they must ask permission to take a photograph of the doll. If they don't, legend has it that the doll will curse you. The museum displays letters from so-called "cursed" individuals who have written to the doll, apologizing for not asking to take his picture, and asking to be released from his spell.
Nicknamed "The Goddess of Death," The Women from Lemb is a statue carved from pure limestone that was discovered in 1878 in Lemb, Cyprus. The item dates back to 3500 B.C., and is believed to represent a goddess, similar to a fertility idol. The statue was first owned by Lord Elphont, and within six years of having the statue in his possession, all seven of the Elephant family members had died from mysterious causes.
Both of the next two owners, Ivor Manucci and Lord Thompson-Noel, also died along with their entire families just a few short years after taking the statue into their homes.
The fourth owner, Sir Alan Biverbrook, died as well, along with his wife and two of their daughters. Two of Biever brook's sons remained, and though they weren't big believers in the occult, they were scared enough by the sudden and strange deaths of four of their family members that they decided to donate the statue to the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh, where it remains today.
Shortly after the item was placed in the museum, the chief of the section where the statue dwelled suddenly died as well, though no museum curator will admit that the statue may have supernatural properties. No one has handled the statue since that first museum worker who passed away, and the item is safely under glass and protected from human hands.
This scary-looking painting was kept in Sean Robinson's grandmother's attic for twenty-five years before he inherited it from her. She had always told Robinson that the painting was evil, explaining how the artist who created it had used his own blood mixed with the paint and had killed himself shortly after completing it. She claimed to hear voices and crying when the painting was displayed, and to see the shadowy figure of a man in her house, which is why she locked it away in the attic.
As soon as Robinson took the painting into his home, he and his family started experiencing the same kinds of creepy phenomenon. His son fell down the stairs, his wife felt something stroking her hair, and they saw the shadow man and heard crying.
Robinson decided to set up a camera overnight to try to capture some of the strange events on tape. Robinson's YouTube videos show slamming doors, rising smoke, and the painting falling from a wall for no reason.
Frightened, Robinson soon put the painting down in his basement, but he is not interested in selling it.
The chair remained in the pub for centuries, and patrons would often dare one another to sit in the cursed seat. During World War II, airmen from a nearby base frequented the pub, and locals noticed that the soldiers who sat in the chair would never return from war.
In 1967, two Royal Air Force pilots sat in the chair, only to crash their truck into a tree just after they left. In 1970, a mason tested his fate in the hot seat, only to die that same afternoon by falling into a hole at his job site. A year after that, a roofer who sat in it died after the roof he was working on collapsed. When the pub's cleaning lady tripped and fell into the chair, she died shortly afterward from a brain tumor.
This list goes on, and finally, the pub owner moved the chair into the basement. Unfortunately, even in storage, the chair claimed another victim. After a delivery man took a quick rest while unloading packages in the store room, he was killed in a car accident that same day.


If we train our bodies to the point of failure, or just shy of that threshold, we typically find ourselves more than a bit winded. The feeling can be exhilarating! However, for clients with exercise-induced asthma, such a scenario tells a different story.
13% of our country's population suffer from exercise-induced asthma, commonly referred to as EIA. "Exercise-induced asthma occurs in almost every individual diagnosed with chronic asthma, but there is a separate group of people who have what we call exercise-induced bronchospasm," says Timothy J. Craig, MD, chair of the American Academy of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology's Sports Medicine Committee.
For the average asthma sufferer, triggers such as a high pollen or mold count in the air set off the cascade of chest tightness and wheezing. This is due to many factors, but inflammation of the lung tissue is almost universally present. However, for individuals with EIA, as the name implies, asthma attacks come solely when participating in strenuous exercise.
At this time of year, as the mercury dips lower and lower, outdoor fitness and recreation activities can pose a significant challenge for our clients with EIA. A 2014 study conducted in China found that hospital admissions for asthma increased dramatically throughout the colder months.
In northern Finland, where temperatures dip into what we might call a frigid zone, as many as 82% of asthmatics experienced shortness of breath while trying to complete their typical outdoor exercises. Studies of winter Olympic athletes demonstrated that EIA affects up to 50% of these competitors, the highest rates correlating to cross-country skiers and competitive ski mountaineers.
If a client has been newly diagnosed with this condition, he may not be familiar with the proper precautions to take prior to running in cold weather. There are many ideas we can present to clients who do not wish to curtail their outdoor workouts but also strive to maximize the limits of their respiratory systems. Here, a bit of physiology goes a long way.
The bitterly cold air inhaled by an outdoor winter runner reaches the lungs at a much warmer temperature, having been warmed to body temperature as it approaches the lower half of the trachea. From there, the inhaled breath gets 100% humidified prior to actually hitting the lungs.
Still, those with EIA must take extra precautions. The combination of cold air and aerobic activity such as running can create a "perfect storm". Such a scenario not only exacerbates general asthma symptoms but also has the potential of igniting severe EIA symptoms.
Winter conditions can set off bronchial spasms, blocking incoming air from fully entering the lungs. Wheezing, coughing, a tight feeling in the chest, or shortness of breath soon follow (within 5-20 minutes after the start of physical exertion) and can turn into a serious asthma attack if not addressed promptly.
If you are joining your client on his outdoor winter workout, be on the lookout for these symptoms and be prepared to redirect the client, slowing your running pace and changing to walking as soon as possible. If the client's symptoms do not subside upon reduction of intensity or total completion of the exercise, it may be wise to consult a physician. If he uses a rescue inhaler, this would be the time to suggest he use it.
We do not often associate very low temperatures with sweating, but this process occurs more than we realize. Reminding avid outdoor athletes to remain well-hydrated can stave off that undesirable burning sensation felt in the trachea during a brisk winter run.
It may seem like common knowledge for healthy athletes, but breathing is a very important component of any exercise, and even more so for those living with EIA. Proper breathing techniques exist and can be practiced by athletes with already compromised respiratory systems., to help ready them for extreme outdoor workouts. Training their bodies and minds to focus on slower, deeper breaths as opposed to taking shallow and quick breaths.
While inhaling through the nose, cold air must traverse a longer route prior to reaching the lungs. This air is therefore much warmer and better filtered than experienced by mouth breathers. This suggestion works well for outdoor runners who plan on relatively short excursions at a moderate pace.
However, as the intensity/duration/distance of the run increases, a nose breather will soon experience shortness of breath; it is not possible to provide the body with sufficient oxygen solely through average nose inhalations. This can pose a serious threat for those with EIA.
According to asthma specialist Dr. Rachel Taliercio, a good rule of thumb is to avoid outdoor exercise when temperatures dip into the single digits. When the mercury rises to the teens and above, a light warm-up is essential before breaking into an all-out run. At these temperatures, many runners find that covering both the mouth and nose with a light scarf helps the breathing process.
Having prudent, easy-to-follow suggestions for EIA clients who enjoy cold-weather workouts can empower them greatly, rather than simply regaling them with a list of potential pitfalls. Be smart, be safe, be successful!

Business and non-profits eligible for energy rebates
Minister Phillips and Monica Curtis launch energy efficiency programs for businesses, non-profits, and institutions
by Morinville News Staff
The Government of Alberta announced energy efficiency rebates for businesses, non-profit organizations and institutions Thursday morning, promising each hundreds of dollars in savings annually.
Organizations and businesses can purchase and install eligible energy-efficient lighting, heating and other products to receive a rebate to a maximum of $60,000 per year, per facility on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Energy efficiency makes businesses and organizations stronger. Spending less on energy frees up money for profits, programs and reinvestment," said Shannon Phillips, Minister of Environment and Parks and Minister Responsible for the Climate Change Office in a release Thursday.
Monica Curtis, CEO, Energy Efficiency Alberta said the agency would work with local contractors across the province to ensure they have the information needed to support the program, including training and marketing materials.
The government says the incentives have the potential for significant cost and energy savings and suggest the replacement of just 36 fluorescent lights with LEDs could save more than $230 annually on electricity.
After installing an approved high-efficiency product, an organization can apply for rebates by submitting receipts online at efficiencyalberta.ca for eligible products purchased on or after March 24, 2017 (as per invoice dates). Once approved, they will receive a cheque to help cover the cost of the equipment.
The program is open to individual businesses, non-profit organizations, co-operatives, institutions, including as schools, hospitals, universities and colleges, and multi-unit residential buildings. Common areas, including lobbies, recreation rooms, and parking lots are included.

Virginia man gored by deer he and his wife had raised
ROANOKE, Va. - Virginia wildlife officials say a member of the Giles County Board of Supervisors was hospitalized after being attacked by a deer.
Department of Game and Inland Fisheries spokesman Lee Walker say Paul "Chappy" Baker was attacked by a nine-point buck outside his home earlier this week.
The buck gored Baker's lower legs and arms and caused bruises, cuts and lacerations. Walker says the attack, which lasted about 10 minutes, ended when Baker's wife shot and killed the deer with a pistol.
The Roanoke Times reports that officials collected a brain sample from the deer, but that Walker confirmed Friday that the deer was not rabid.
Walker said the Bakers had raised the buck since it was a fawn, which had been around the home for four years.

Authorized Lego reseller Bricks & Minifigs coming to Sioux Falls
Alfonzo Galvan
Sioux Falls Argus Leader
An authorized Lego reseller will be opening up a franchise in Sioux Falls.
Jenn and Ryan Dean are bringing a Bricks & Minifigs location to Sioux Falls with an expected opening date in late May into June, according to the husband and wife duo.
The store will be located at 2804 W. 41st St.
Jenn Dean said the idea of bringing a Bricks & Minifigs franchise to Sioux Falls came back when she was considering a career change after having worked in the financial services industry for more than 20 years.
More: Brandon mansion sold for second time in four months — for nearly $800,000 more.
"August [2021] is when we initially really started going down the road with this franchise," Jenn Dean said. "Our family has been Lego fans, our kids grew up with Legos, we grew up with Lego and so it was it was something that that I pretty much determined that I would like to do."
Ryan Dean said he was familiar with Lego but not as much as Jenn. The Dean family includes Jenn's two adult daughters and Ryan's two teenage sons. And according to Ryan, it's going to be a family affair at Bricks & Minifigs Sioux Falls.
"We're gonna keep them involved as much as they want and can be, quite honestly so it's a family affair," Ryan Dean said.
What will Bricks & Minifigs Sioux Falls be selling?
The Bricks & Minifigs brand of stores are authorized Lego resellers, according to the Deans. Lego products will make up a vast majority of merchandise.
The business will sell, buy and trade products so customers can bring in their own Lego products to trade-in for others or get paid for them.
"We will have anywhere from small little sets, up to the rare high-end collectible sets," Jenn Dean said. "Anything in-between to meet everyone's budget and anyone's needs that they may have."
What's the age range for the store's products?
There's going to be products for toddlers up to adults, Jenn Dean said
Lego products are very popular with adults with some of the more exclusive and bigger sets going for hundreds of dollars. Those collector sets will be available at Bricks & Minifigs along with other less expensive sets for the casual Lego buyer.
"We want it to be an experience. They can spend hours digging through the bulk bins and looking at old sets or even reminiscing about sets they maybe had when they were younger," Jenn Dean said.
What else will be available at the store?
A party room for events and birthday parties will be available at Bricks & Minifigs. There, people not as familiar can be introduced to Lego and given a small set for them to build.
"Community involvement is really what we're looking to start," Jenn Dean said. "Unfortunately, within the Sioux Falls community, there isn't a lot of Lego League options and so that's one of our goals."
The Deans said they want to share the joy of Lego with everybody in Sioux Falls. They're planning summer activities for school-aged children and an adult league for the older Lego lovers.
Updates on the business's operations and opening can be found on their Facebook page.

Former Manchester United and Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has revealed he was racially abused "for the first time in about 15 years-ish" in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, recently.
He said via a Twitter post: "For the first time in about 15 years-ish i got RACIALLY ABUSED today in Chesterfield.
"I honestly thought we were getting somewhere but obviously not, there's still that minority that have a lack of EDUCATION & RESPECT! Calling someone a "BB" isn't acceptable in 2018!!"
He then tweeted again, adding: "BTW if you have seen my last tweet...... it was a WOMAN in her late 20's early 30's!"
Sky Sports presenter Geoff Shreeves replied to his post, offering support. He said: "Mate I am staggered. Horrible.
"Do not for one second think that person is anything than a complete and utter pleb."
