Obama minimum wage plan leaves business leaders uneasy
WASHINGTON - President Obama's call to raise the minimum wage to $9 an hour and boost it annually to keep pace with inflation is already getting a trial run. Ten states make similar cost-of-living adjustments, including Washington state, where workers earn at least $9.19 an hour, the highest minimum in the country.
In all, 19 states and the District of Columbia have minimum wages set above the federal rate of $7.25, a disparity Obama highlighted in his State of the Union address as he seeks to help the nation's lowest-paid workers. Obama's proposal is renewing the age-old debate between advocates who claim boosting the minimum wage pumps more money into the economy, helping to create new jobs, and business groups that complain it would unfairly burden employers and curb demand for new workers.
And it faces certain hurdles in Congress, as top Republicans including House Speaker John Boehner wasted little time dismissing the proposal.
More than 15 million workers earn the national minimum wage, making about $15,080 a year. That's just below the federal poverty threshold of $15,130 for a family of two.
Selling his plan to a crowd in Asheville, N.C., on Wednesday, Obama said it's time to increase the minimum wage "because if you work full time, you shouldn't be in poverty."
Advocates say a minimum wage increase can lead to even broader economic benefits.
"These are workers who are most likely to spend virtually everything they earn, so it just pumps money back into local economies," said Christine Owens, the executive director of the National Employment Law Project, a worker advocacy group.
But William Dunkelberg, the chief economist for the National Federation of Independent Business, said the increase would hit businesses hard and only hurt low-wage workers by reducing demand for their services.
"The higher the price of anything, the less that will be taken, and this includes labor," Dunkelberg said. "Raising the cost of labor raises the incentive for employers to find ways to use less labor."
The government first set a minimum wage during the Great Depression in 1938. It has been raised 22 times since then - the last increase went into effect in 2009 - but the value has eroded over time because of inflation.
Obama's latest plan would raise the hourly minimum to $9 by 2015 and increase the minimum wage for tipped workers, which has not gone up for more than two decades.
As for states that have already set minimum wages above the federal rate, they range from $7.35 in Missouri to the high of $9.19 in Washington. In 10 of those states, the minimum wage is automatically adjusted every year to keep pace with the rising cost of living: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Vermont and Washington.
Women represent nearly two-thirds of minimum wage workers, while black and Hispanic workers represent a higher share of the minimum wage work force than whites, according to the Economic Policy Institute.
The last federal minimum wage increase was signed into law by President George W. Bush, when it increased from $5.15 to $7.25 in a three-step process between 2007 and 2009.
The last recession began in the middle of that process and took an especially heavy toll on middle-wage positions, which accounted for 60 percent of jobs lost in the crushing downturn. Most of the job growth since the 2010 recovery has been in low-wage jobs. Owens, for one, contends: "There's no compelling case to be made that raising the minimum wage triggered job losses."
Doug Hall, director of the liberal Economic Policy Institute, estimates that raising the minimum wage to $9 would pump $21 billion into the economy and lead to the creation of 120,000 jobs.
But Randel Johnson, vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce for labor issues, said the increase would come "on the backs of employers" who would hire fewer people and cut overtime.
"You don't put new burdens on employers when they are trying to recover in a tough recessionary time," he said.
Johnson also warned against tying wage increases to inflation.
"Employer profits are not magically indexed somehow to always go up," Johnson said. "Congress needs to look at the validity of raising the minimum wage in the context of the economic times in which it's being proposed."
That concern is expected to drive Republican opposition in Congress. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who delivered the GOP response to Obama's State of the Union address, said Wednesday that boosting the minimum wage is the wrong way to help workers increase wages.
"I don't think a minimum wage works," Rubio said on CBS This Morning. "I want people to make more than $9 dollars an hour. The problem is, you can't mandate that."
Boehner, the House speaker, told reporters Wednesday: "When you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it."
The White House is pointing to companies such as Costco, Wal-Mart and Stride Rite that have supported past increases in the minimum wage, saying high wages help build a strong work force and lower turnover helps improve profitability over the long run.

DTMB working to correct food assistance error
The Michigan Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) is currently working to resolve an error that is impacting 85,000 food assistance recipients and their families. As a result of human error, benefits to the Bridge Cards providing food assistance for clients with account numbers ending in "0" were not loaded to the cards as expected.
"DTMB understands the hardship that this situation has caused Michigan families and the inconvenience to the businesses that serve them," said DTMB spokesperson Kurt Weiss. "We are working around the clock to correct the problem as quickly as possible and we will determine why it occurred."
DTMB is working closely with vendor partners to ensure the Bridge Cards are correctly filled with the benefits that are needed for food assistance. Benefits will be loaded through the night and throughout the day on Friday, Jan. 4.
Recipients of food assistance can contact the customer service number at 1-888-678-8914 for updates and additional information.
DTMB regrets that this problem has occurred and will be working to ensure that safeguards are put in place to prevent a similar error in the future.

Making a difference, one latte at a time
Used Coffee Grounds (UCG) have been used on plants and in compost for hundreds of years.
Somewhere along the way most of us gave it away, stopped growing our own food, and relied on an increasingly effective industrialised effort to provide food to the table.
Most of us are totally dependant on food production systems which exclude us from all but the final step of consumption – We buy and consume only the end products, and if for whatever reason the shelves become empty, the only thing left to do is starve.
I wanted some measure of control over how my food is produced, while appreciating the environmental footprint of doing it.
The first step was to start improving the quality of my soil through compost, fertilizer, and vermicast. This is when I discovered an almost limitless and cost free additive to all three of those crucial soil amendments – Used Coffee Grounds.
Since March 2010, I have collected over 2 tonnes of used coffee grounds, and it has all been used in my compost bin, dug into raised garden beds, around the base of fruit trees, liberally sprinkled over the lawn, or handed out to family and neighbours.
Unless you had heard of, or used coffee grounds in your garden, you might think it all weird. As we go through some of the environmental benefits and physical properties of the material, it quickly makes sense why more of us should be making use of it. As the hundreds of YouTube videos attest to, this knowledge is enjoying a digital age revival.
Reducing Landfill by Using Coffee Grounds
Approximately 20 grams of coffee grounds remains every time an espresso machine is used, which is then typically thrown into the bin, and ends up in landfill.
20 grams might not seem like a big amount, until you consider that 5000 lattes work out to about 100 kilos of used grounds, 50,000 lattes work out to about 1 tonne.
Think about the millions of people who stop into cafes or use an espresso machine at home at least once a day. All those tens of millions of drinks make for many tonnes of landfill each and every day.
Given there is so much of the stuff being generated, availability is not an issue.
Most cafe owners would be more than happy to put some coffee grounds aside for you if you ask.
One chain that actively provides this service is Starbucks, who have an initiative known as 'Grounds for your Garden', and if you have been in their stores over the past five years may have noticed a stack of 2 kilo bags sitting in a basket at the front of the counter.
Another way to get supply, and one of the things I do, is to arrange to collect coffee grounds generated at work.
My building has at least 5 espresso machines which are emptied daily, and all the used grounds are left for me in a room in the basement car park.
It took a couple of tries to get the process working, but now I'm collecting around 100 Kilos per week, thanks to all my colleagues and their love of coffee.
What is in Coffee Grounds?
There will always be variation with a natural product, and the specific contents of coffee grounds can change slightly depending on the origin of the beans, how they were roasted, ground, and used in the espresso machine (including the water that was used). These are however what you would typically expect.
Nitrogen is an abundant element in our atmosphere and when converted to a solid form is readily used by plants. Coffee grounds have a carbon to nitrogen ratio of 20 – 24:1, which is about the same as grass clippings.
The relatively high nitrogen content makes coffee grounds a 'green' addition to the compost bin, and a great offset against high carbon 'brown' additions such as leaves (60:1), straw (75:1), and cardboard (350:1).
Much of the nitrogen within coffee grounds is of a type that must first break down in the soil before the plants are able to make use of it, which makes the grounds just like a slow release fertiliser when put directly into the soil, providing ongoing nitrogen input into the garden.
Used coffee grounds (UCG) are slightly acidic, with a range typically between 6.9pH and 6.2pH.
It would be higher except that most of the acid within the beans is extracted during brewing.
For many vegetable and ornamental plants, the desirable pH range is 6.9 to 5.8. A pH level of 7.0 is considered neutral, and from there it is increasing in alkalinity.
Coffee grounds contain phosphorus and potassium (which with Nitrogen completes the macronutrients required for all plant growth), and includes magnesium (a secondary nutrient) and copper (a micronutrient), in sufficient quantities that you will not need to get these from other sources.
Coffee Grounds impact on animal life
In learning about organic gardening, I have come across a large number of traditional methods for controlling garden pests.
If for example, I make a solution of soap, garlic, chilli, and water to deter aphids, then that's one less bottle of chemical poison in the environment.
Coffee grounds have long been used in gardens because of their impact in controlling pests.
When applied to the soil of your garden, coffee grounds will deter snails and slugs, which are affected by even trace elements of caffeine, but more so because they don't like travelling over the course grounds.
I have seen a dramatic reduction in snails and slugs since using coffee grounds in the soil. If you have them in plague proportions and the above is not effective, you might want to try fresh coffee grounds, before the caffeine has been extracted.
I have seen a similar reduction with ants, and although not as troublesome as snails and slugs, they can prove damaging to seeds and seedlings when in large numbers.
Having a layer of coffee grounds acts as a barrier that ants will not readily cross, and while the effects are not as long lasting as the chemical ant barriers, they do not contain all the poisons either, and it is no trouble putting down more grounds once the first lot has broken down.
Although I have never had a problem with cats in the garden, there is some evidence to suggest that they do not like the smell of coffee grounds and will prefer to keep away from it.
One creature that does love coffee grounds is perhaps the most beneficial to the garden, these being earthworms.
From my own experience and from many others, they love the stuff, are attracted to it, and your soil will be healthier as a result.
This applies just as much to the worm farm as it does to applying it directly into the garden. Worms of all types will be more productive as a result.
Preparing your own garden soil
A gardener once told me that he didn't feed plants, he fed the soil which feeds the plants.
As long as you have good quality soil, you will have more healthy and productive plants. In addition to the result it brings to the garden, there is a great deal of satisfaction in returning a good percentage of our 'garbage' back into the earth.
When added to your compost bin or heap, coffee grounds will raise those internal temperatures, which speeds up decomposition, and the end result will be beautiful, black, rich compost.
The most common ingredients I use for compost now are kitchen scraps (no meat or pineapple and limited citrus), shredded cardboard and paper, coffee grounds, leaves and twigs, and any edible plants no longer being productive.
I would recommend limiting the use of coffee grounds in the worm farm or compost bin to about 25% of the total volume. The reason being is that you need a balance of ingredients with most recipes, and this is no different.
If you would rather use ground coffee as fertilizer in liquid form, add half a kilo of coffee grounds into a bucket with 10 litres or so of water, let the mixture warm up to ambient temperature, swish it all around and then apply directly onto your plants.
I have heard that this works particularly well with roses, camellias, azaleas, gardenias, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, and blueberries.
There is one final benefit; your garden will carry the aroma of freshly prepared coffee for sometime after being applied!

Nutrition News: Make it a home-cooked meal
By Charlyn Fargo
Creators Syndicate
Want an easy way to shed some calories? Simply cook at home. Seriously. And you'll be saving money as well.
A new study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture finds that Americans are slimming their calories, thanks to home cooking. The study, reported in the April 2014 issue of Environmental Nutrition, found that working-age adults consumed an average 118 fewer calories per day between 2009 and 2010, compared with four years earlier. Some 20 percent of the improvement in overall calorie cutback was attributed to eating more home-cooked meals and fewer restaurant and fast-food meals.
Two other factors in the calorie cuts were attributed to the declining economy (people were eating at home more to save money) and increased reading of nutrition labels on food packages in supermarkets.
It's no surprise that the size of restaurant meals has increased — providing too many calories, fat and sodium at a meal for most of us. By cooking at home, you can control the portion sizes and the amount of fat and sodium in a dish.
It's great news that our nation's eating habits are improving, but we still have a long way to go — 36 percent of U.S adults were obese during the 2009-2010 time period. That obesity can lead to health concerns such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Eating meals at home that contain whole foods such as fish, whole grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables may be a simple key to dropping a few pounds.
If you think that's easier said than done, dust off your slow cooker. I try to fill mine each morning before I head to work, so I have a hot meal nearly prepared when I walk in the door in the evening. Earlier this week, I filled my slow cooker with a pork roast. The next day I turned the leftovers into pulled pork sandwiches — simmered in barbecue sauce. This morning, I browned chicken breasts, and then added them to the slow cooker with a pasta sauce, mushrooms, onions and Italian seasoning. Tonight I'll add some mozzarella, Parmesan and whole-wheat noodles to complete my Parmesan chicken.
My secret? The more organized I am in the morning, the healthier we eat.
Q And A
Q: I've been seeing something called "quinoa" recommended as a healthy side dish. What is it and what would I do with it?
A: Quinoa — pronounced "KEEN-wah" — is considered and used like a whole grain, although technically it's a seed, not a true whole grain such as brown rice, bulgur (whole wheat) and oatmeal. Unlike most grains, it's a good source of protein, so it's a perfect choice as you experiment with smaller meat portions and meatless meals. In just 15 minutes it can be cooked like rice to serve as a fluffy side dish or incorporated in soups and stews instead of pasta or potatoes. Each grain is naturally coated with a bitter substance to protect it as it grows, so put it in a sieve and rinse it before cooking. In most larger grocery stores, you can find quinoa in the same section with rice. Alternatively, you might check the "natural" foods aisle, where it may be grouped with other packaged grains or in a bulk food section.

Here's a recipe for a quinoa salad from the March issue of Cooking Light magazine to get you started.
• 1 2/3 cups water
• 1 cup red quinoa (regular can be substituted)
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
• 2 T fresh lemon juice
• 2 T olive oil
• 2 t dark sesame oil
• 1/4 t kosher salt
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Bring 1 2/3 cups water and quinoa to a boil in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and simmer 12 minutes or until quinoa is tender; drain. Stir in almonds, juice, oils, salt and onions. Serves four (serving size: 1/2 cup).
Per serving: 238 calories, 7.5 g protein, 31.6 g carbohydrates, 10 g fat, 0 cholesterol, 3 g fiber, 132 mg sodium.

Today's Music: Blind Faith – Can't Find My Way Home
There's a moment, right at the very beginning, where anything is possible. -high and low, win and lose, yes and no.
On any adventure, that time is fascinating to me.
It's a metaphysical moment where, for me, time stretches. My whole life doesn't flash before my eyes. The moment isn't long, but it is deep, and it's there that I gain a better understanding of who I am. And it's where I simultaneously find my fears and my faith in myself. I also see how those things have changed.
Here's an early example –
– A young Guapo standing at the edge of the high diving board. He looks over, takes a deep breath. Another boy is already starting up the ladder for his turn. He looks back over the edge and steels himself. He ignores his burning red face and climbs back down the ladder.
– An older Guap (late teens?) stands at the edge of a different diving board. It's high, but the water is deep, he tells himself. Don't panic and you'll be fine, he tells himself.
He looks out over that edge, remembers how younger him wished he'd stepped off that board all those years ago. He sees his younger self at that moment, remembers the exhilaration of being up so high, the danger of that narrow plank with so much empty space below it, and the terror of what could go wrong outweighing the thrill of what could go right.
He looks at the present again, every detail burning into his memory. He squeezes his eyes as tight as possible. He feels his face turn red.
And he turns and
He goes off the high diving board another 8 times that day. Most of them with his eyes open. All of them with a big grin on his face.
So what changed?
Plenty of people dive from the high board/jump from the plane/hang from the cliff/(you get the idea).
Some of them have hurt themselves, some have even died. But as with a great many things, the vast majority have been careful, taken precautions and lived to do it again and again.
And the thought of being red faced and angry that I didn't try something makes me feel worse than any of the damage I've accumulated thanks to gravity over the years.
So stop thinking that jumping will lead to crashing. Go on, have a little faith.

In their recently published article, "The Great Attributional Divide: How Divergent Views of Human Behavior are Shaping Legal Policy,"Situationist contributors Adam Benforado and Jon Hanson described the psychological phenomenon of "reactance" and the way it encourages a dispositionist perspective. They write:
* * *
Another reason that we are inclined toward dispositionist attributions lies in our desire to see ourselves in self-affirming ways. We like to believe that we are independent, intelligent consumers of life's many options—the attitude-driven, reasoning, choice-makers of commercials and Westerns. Rather than victims of situation, we see ourselves as in control of our destinies—not just humans, but "Marlboro Men" or "Virginia Slims."
Our desire to maintain that satisfying conception causes us to react strongly whenever we sense that our freedom is being unfairly limited. Indeed, we often react to perceived constraints on our choices (DO NOT READ THE REST OF THIS SENTENCE!) by taking (or suddenly wanting to take) the prohibited option. Psychologists call this desire to maintain (the perception of) control "reactance"—a tendency that marketers have been exploiting for as long as there have been marketers. Attempts to restrict an individual's emotions, attitudes, or behavior often produce a similar "boomerang effect"—that is, an increase in the restricted feelings or behavior. Although we often enjoy no more than an illusion of control over our situations, we are strongly motivated to see ourselves in the driver's seat. Dispositionism, with its focus on individual choice, puts the wheel in our hand and the brake and accelerator beneath our feet.
* * *
This "forbidden fruit" effect is particularly strong among young adults and adolescents (which is one reason why the tobacco industry is often said to have benefitted from regulations that purported to prevent non-adults from smoking). Now, a group of celebrities (including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Forest Whitaker, Tobey Maguire, Jamie Foxx, and many more) have attempted to harness the power of "reverse psychology" in the following "Don't Vote" campaign.
Thanks to Situationist friend, Andrew Perlman, for sending us this video.
For those who have missed it, here's a copy of the other election-related ad by Sarah Silverman. This one uses a different persuasive technique — (potentially offensive) humor — as Sarah tells viewers to get their "fat Jewish asses on a plane to Florida" and convince their grandparents to vote for Obama.

Signing may give babies learning advantage
When Holly Salegna's son turned 2, he started talking. Though speech came a little later for him than most children his age, Salegna wasn't worried.
She'd been communicating with him through baby signs almost from the day he was born.
"I used it with all three of my children. They were able to tell me, 'more,' 'shoes,' 'socks,' 'all done,' before they were able to say it," said Salegna of Norwich. "I could understand what their needs were before they could. When my son did start talking, it wasn't little words here and there, it was full sentences."
The baby signing craze started in the mid-1990s, when research done by the University of California at Davis showed children benefited long term from learning simple signs as babies. The techniques use some altered versions of American Sign Language words to give babies a chance to communicate with their parents before they can talk.
"Babies are smarter than we think," said Amy Camassar, who, with Salegna, owns Papoose, a family learning center in Norwich, Conn. "They have thoughts and want to communicate much earlier than before they're developmentally able to speak."
Camassar said baby signing is geared for hearing children, and the signs are modified because it's not always easy for tiny hands to make the same movements as an adult signer.
"The program is designed to give parents a slew of signs they can begin teaching as soon as their baby can wave 'bye-bye,' " she said.
Camassar teaches classes on baby signing and will hold a workshop this weekend for parents interested in the technique. The programs generally include classes, a book of signs and a DVD, she said.
Naysayers range from those who raised smart children the old-fashioned way, without fancy products, to researchers who believe watching videos can harm infants by "addicting" them to a medium statistically associated with obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.
"We were worried at first that teaching Ava to sign could delay her speech, and some of our relatives said that could happen," Brett Scott said. "In fact, we think it has definitely been the opposite. She became obsessed with the videos and then started talking early."
Like Ava, babies seem to like signing because they exhibit a preference for languages over non-languages. A 2002 study by Ursula Hildebrandt, then a doctoral student at the University of Washington, showed hearing 6-month-olds two television monitors; one told a story in American Sign Language and the other showed the same story in pantomime. Babies showed longer eye contact and attention to the ASL version, Hildebrandt reports.
"The research has showed that children end up with a wider range of vocabulary, that they read a grade level higher, and that they speak longer sentences when they've used baby signing," Camassar said. "That's why we support it."
Researchers say there is a window of time between 5 months and 5 years when babies can learn easily. These products seek to capitalize on that opportunity.
Leading the way
Linda Acredolo, a professor emeritus of psychology at the University of California at Davis, and Susan Goodwyn, professor of psychology at California State University, Stanislaus, largely are credited with creating the popularity of sign language for babies through their 20 years of research.
Their long-term study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, tested more than 140 children at intervals from 11 months old to 36 months old and then again at age 8. Though some educators caution signing may delay language development, Acredolo and Goodwyn found babies who had been taught to sign began talking earlier and in longer sentences than those who didn't sign.
At 3, children who signed talked at 4-year-old levels; at 8, those children scored an average of 12 points more on IQ tests.
"My son is going into fourth grade and can read at a sixth-grade level. I don't know if that's because of the signing, but I know it didn't hurt," Salegna said. "We saw how effective it was right away, and have never doubted how it worked."

- In a small stainless steel saucepan, bring the remaining glaze to a boil. Boil for about 1 minute, remove from the heat, and pour over the grilled chicken.
Since the chicken breasts don't have a l;ot of sauce, serve a juicy vegetable such as grilled or sauteed summer squash or zucchini alongside.
Grilled Chicken Breasts with Citrus Glaze
Use a combination of citrus juices, such as orange, lemon, or lime instead of all or part of the grapefruit juice.
The crisp acidity, effervescence and moderate alcohol level of a brut Champagne from France or a sparkling wine from California will be perfect with the smoky taste of the chicken and with the high acidity of the grapefruit juice.
Enjoy, gentle reader, enjoy!!!

Olympic Sports We Don't See Any More, And Why
The Olympic Games are one of the most tradition-bound sporting events in the world. But that doesn't mean its sporting events are written in stone.
Since 1894, dozens of events have had their flash in the pan, and been dumped. Some have lasted only one Olympic cycle. The website Top End Sports has a nice collection of discontinued Olympic events.
Here are some of my favorite one-and-dones:
So that prompts the question: Why do Olympic sports change so much? Some of it's due to host countries' attempts to lard their own results. Croquet was one example — almost all entrants were French. An extreme case was 1896's 100-Meter Freestyle For Sailors, in which only (host) Greece's sailors could compete.
But there's also something else at work: the urge to be relevant. For a clue, look at Olympic BMX, and U.S. racer Nic Long. Bicycle Motocross "went Olympic" at the Beijing 2008 Games. It's seen as the equivalent of adding snowboarding to the Winter Olympics — putting an "X Games" flourish on a venerable event.
As an AP profile of the tattooed racer puts it, "Long represents the new face of the Summer Games, a splash of ink on the chaste body of the International Olympic Committee, a calculated effort to connect with younger audiences, an attempt to get hipper, cooler."
And just as there have always been young people, there have always been attempts to keep up with the times. That would explain why bike polo might make a return as an Olympics demonstration sport, as writer David Goldblatt ( How to Watch the Olympics)recently told NPR's Robert Siegel on All Things Considered.
But if they really want to go after young viewers, the IOC might consider bringing back every kid's favorite: the Tug of War.
According to the Olympics' archives about the Tug, "The Olympic champions were as follows: 1900: a combined Swedish/Danish team; 1904: an American club team representing the Milwaukee Athletic Club; 1906: Germany/Switzerland; 1908: a British team from the City of London Police Club..." and so on, up until its demise in 1920.
Of course, the Olympics probably made its best call after the 1904 Games, when it eliminated the All Around Dumbbell Contest. The event was held just once, at host city St. Louis. And yes, I know, I know: an American won.

[I confess, it's been just over two month since Kosherfest 2012, and this video should have seen the light of day much sooner. Though making our readers wait was unprofessional and unforgivable there were truly extenuating circumstances, unfortunately. In any case, the competition was exciting. The three competing Chefs, were consummate professionals. I have no doubt the judges had a very hard time declaring a winner. CS]
Last year, I was one of the judges at Kosherfest 2011 Chefs' Competition , this year I was behind a SONY AX2000 taping the proceedings. There was excitement, at times the chefs nervousness was palpable yet – at all times – it was obvious these 3 professionals were thoroughly enjoying what they were doing.
All videos copyright of © The Kosher Scene
The judges were Chef Jack Silberstein, from Jack's Gourmet, Chef Seth Warshaw of etc steakhouse, Paula Shoyer, author of The Kosher Baker and Pastry Chef Philip Kaemerle, pastry instructor at the Center for Kosher Culinary Arts. The event was sponsored by CKCA, Jack's Gourmet and Great Kosher Restaurants Magazine.
Chef Alexandre Petard from Ladino Restaurant, Chef Koby Weiner from Fairway's Kosher Food division and Chef Ari White from Got Cholent? and Gemstone Caterers went up against each other. Each created a masterpiece with the secret ingredient which they only were able to find out about immediately prior to the clock starting the 45 minute countdown. Yellow tail tuna, was that secret ingredients, while they could prepare it in any way they liked, they had to use each of a number of ingredients given them.
The fact that such varied dishes were made with the same set of ingredients is a true testament to each one's imagination, creativity and professionalism. I hope, gentle reader, you enjoy watching this video as much as I enjoyed the live proceedings.

Reliable sources tell me that our own Washington Nationals racing presidents will be hitting the road with the team tomorrow to visit Pittsburgh's beautiful new PNC Park for the 3-game series between the Nationals and Pirates.
In early May, the Pittsburgh Pirates' racing pierogies visited Nationals Park for a weekend series between the two teams. The resulting antics included a combined mascot relay race and the uncomfortable site of watching Teddy chase a Pierogie with a giant fork.
After his embarrassing disqualification on Saturday, perhaps a change of scenery could do Teddy some good. I hope to get some photos from Pittsburgh to share here.

Dr. Murray Feingold: Call the doctor - or call Dad
When it comes to the medical care of members of their own families, some doctors get very involved, others do not. By getting very involved, I mean they actually provide the medical care of a family member. This is not the recommended approach. Except for treating some minor maladies of family members, I mainly offer advice and tell them to call their doctor.
I have given up giving medical advice to my wife because she seldom follows it.
My children, especially when they were younger, rarely asked me any medical questions because they looked at me more as a daddy than a doctor. However, all of this changed when they became parents - now there are many questions.
For a variety of reasons, providing medical advice concerning your grandchildren is not always easy. You frequently can't personally examine the child because he or she is located in another state. Therefore, the medical information, which may or may not be totally accurate, is provided via the telephone.
Another drawback, you may think more like a grandfather than a physician, and this may result in over-diagnosing, such as a routine headache being a brain tumor. Also, you are too emotionally involved.
An example of this was when my granddaughter Molly was born. She was born in a quaint but up-to-date hospital in New Hampshire. It was very folksy and had a friendly environment (if you consider allowing the family dog to visit the patient as friendly).
My wife and I arrived at the hospital two hours after Molly was delivered. I was told that mother and child were resting comfortably in room 212, so off we went to see our newest grandchild. But before I tell you what greeted us in room 212, let me relate a little background history.
In my earlier days as a doctor, when I entered the newborn nursery to see a baby, I was adorned in a hospital gown, a surgical cap and face mask and wore sterile gloves. Although subsequent research has shown that such precautions are unnecessary, I continue to wear a hospital gown and face mask when seeing newborns.
As we approached room 212, I heard voices, and the closer we got, the louder the clamor. When we arrived, I discovered the source of these voices. The entire room was filled wall to wall with people; it seemed as if perhaps the entire population of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, was present in the room.
In the center of all of this din and commotion was my 2-hour-old granddaughter, being passed from one potentially infectious person to another. I envisioned every pathogenic bacteria and virus that called New Hampshire home attacking my unsuspecting newborn granddaughter.
But fortunately this did not take place, and Molly, and her grandfather, survived this onslaught of visitors.
When it comes to the health of family members, being a doctor does have its benefits. But there is a flip side, especially when it involves grandchildren and the physician is more of a grandfather than a doctor.
Massachusetts-based Dr. Murray Feingold is the physician in chief of The Feingold Center for Children, medical editor of WBZ-TV and WBZ radio, and president of the Genesis Fund. The Genesis Fund is a nonprofit organization that funds the care of children born with birth defects, mental retardation and genetic diseases.

The 15mm wood boards help keep in heat making it easy to provide basking temperatures up to 90 Fahrenheit or higher.

We estimate that each unit may take 15-20 minutes to build if it's your first time. The 'easy access' vents now supplied allow you to put your heating and lighting equipment through a vent without needing to remove a plug.
You'll love the Large-Deep Vivexotic Reptihome Arboreal vivarium because:
- It's very easy to construct and take apart.

This unit has sealed panels on most sides but once constructed we recommend running a pet friendly sealant along the joints to make sure that your vivarium lasts the life of your pet. To ensure that your pet cannot escape Vivexotic have started including a simple locking mechanism in each of their vivariums. The front pane of glass has a hole on the right hand side, when this panel is on the left side and the back panel is on the right there will be a small gap to place the plastic plug provided. For additional security Vivexotic also offer a lock to match this unit (sold separately).

At least 27 men, women and children, among them five members of a Christian family, were killed during a twin blasts in Karachi, Pakistan's commercial hub on Feb. 5. About 133 others were wounded, reports Michael Ireland, chief correspondent, ASSIST News Service.
Aftab Alexander Mughal, Editor, Minorities Concern of Pakistan, says five members of that Christian family of Ibrahim Hyderi, Labour Colony, were killed in the Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC) blast.
The deceased were; Manzoor Masih and his wife Rosy, daughter Carol, 14, Mrs Parveen Basharat and her daughter Narmal, 12. They went to see a new born daughter of their relative Sheeba who was admitted there. Right after meeting the girl, as they reached the emergency gate of the JPMC, the bomb went off and they all died on the spot.
Mughal says the blast, which apparently exploded in a motorcycle, was so severe it shattered all the windowpanes of the hospital and damaged many of the parked ambulances, cars and motorcycles and other installations.
"The blast has destroyed our universe and become the most horrible tragedy of our life," a family member Pervez Masih told the Daily Times, a local English daily newspaper.
That blast was the second during the day, says Mughal.
The first blast attacked a bus which carrying Shia Muslim mourners to participate in a religious procession to mark the end of the holy month of Muharram. Many claim that these were suicide attacks.
Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, expressing deep grief and sorrow on the bomb explosions, has asked the authorities concerned to start repair work immediately.
Sindh Chief Minister Syed Qaim Ali Shah announced compensation of Rs 500,000 (US$6250) for the heirs of those killed in the two blasts in Karachi and Rs 100,000 (US$1250) for each injured. Several political and religious parties have announced a three-day mourning in the city.
According to Mughal, this was the second biggest blasts occurred in Karachi, Pakistan's biggest city, in the last three months. During the previous blast on Dec. 28, 2009 at least 44 people died and 87 injured.
Mughal writes the twin suicide attacks in the port city of Karachi seem to have been carried out by the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi (LJ), which is the most violent al-Qaeda-linked anti-Shia terrorist group operating in Pakistan with the help of its lethal suicide squad, The News, an English daily, says.
Mughal states that for the last several years Pakistan has been a prime target of terrorist attacks. According to Pak Institute for Peace Studies, in 2009, 2,586 terrorist, insurgent and sectarian-related incidents were reported that killed 3,021 people and injured 7,334.
Mughal goes on to say many innocent Christians were also killed during these terrorist attacks. Although the Taliban took responsibility for these attacks, right wing parties (especially Imran Khan's Tehrik-e-Insaf and Jamaat-e-Islami) also give justifications to these attacks.
According to a media report, "Pakistan's feared Taliban network claimed responsibility for that attack, sparking riots that caused huge financial losses."

New Phillies reliever Adams says 2012 was a struggle
The Phillies officially announced the signing of free-agent reliever Mike Adams to a two-year, $12 million deal Thursday. The contract also includes a vesting option for 2015, which is a lot of money for a guy who admits last season was a physical struggle.
Adams, 34, is expected to take the role as closer Jonathan Papelbon's setup man next season. He has been one of the best eighth-inning relievers in the game since 2008, posting a 1.98 earned run average while striking out 311 batters in 295 innings.
The veteran righthander posted a 5-3 record with one save and an uncharacsterically high 3.27 earned run average in his only full season with the Texas Rangers last year. He was shut down for the final week of the season and underwent surgery in October for a condition known as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
"Last year was a struggle for me," Adams said. "The TOS was something that kicked in in early April. I didn't know what was happening. I thought I was just having some shoulder discomfort issues. The majority of the season I battled not having the same stuff I had previously.
"I didn't have a good feel for the ball. There were times when I didn't know how to grip a fastball because I didn't have the feel. That's the symptoms of TOS. By the end of the year, it really caught up to me. My arm felt like it weighed five or six pounds more than it normally did. The ball felt like it weighed three pounds."
Adams surrendered three home runs in a five-batter span in his final appearance of the season against Oakland after allowing only one home run in his previous 60 games.
"My last outing, I felt like I was pitching a shot put," he said. "The toughest part was the mental part. I was trying to fix my mechanics and I was trying to fix everything. Once I knew that I had TOS, it was a huge relief after talking to (Rangers teammate) Matt Harrison and knowing that he told me I was going to feel great after (surgery). The trainer for Texas told me that once I get a few weeks into the rehab process I'm going to feel like I have a new arm."
Adams said the rehab process has gone well so far. He thought he'd be ready for the start of spring training. He admitted that he is more concerned about being ready for the April 1 opener in Atlanta. The surgical procedure involved removing a rib.
"It's the first rib, which is below the clavicle," Adams said. "So what happens is that first rib starts squeezing the clavicle. You have a main artery and a nerve that runs through there, so when you start squeezing those, that nerve starts shooting pain through your body. I was having headaches constantly for three weeks. My trap was hurting, my pec, the middle of my back was hurt. I was having some numbness and tingling in my bicep and forearm and it was something that was pretty bad.
"Once I had the surgery to take care of it, some of the shoulder pain was gone within two days. It took a little while longer for a lot of the other symptoms to go away, but they said in time it will. They say the nerves have been so freaked out that they needed time to recover. It wasn't until about three or four weeks ago that I really started to feel the symptoms go away."
Shortly after the winter meetings, the Phillies sent special assistant Charley Kerfeld to watch Adams throw. The righthander obviously passed the physical administered by the Phillies Thursday and general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. acknowledged the risk involved.
"There is no question that there is some risk involved," Amaro said. "As a group, we talked to our people about the TOS and how that might affect him short term and long term, but I think ultimately we feel comfortable enough and felt comfortable with the procedure and the follow-up information that we got. While there is some risk to it, it probably was a good risk. This is a guy who can solidify our bullpen."

Because the properties were not sold at auction, the lender is now the owner and is engaged in the process of marketing and selling them to potential buyers through a local real estate agent or auction house in Umatilla, FL. The longer lenders own properties like this on Se 202nd Ter, the more eager they become to sell, often at reduced prices.
Foreclosures often mean the original homeowner had some sort of setback that caused him to allow his lender to take the property.

thug dorm life, the thug dorm life chose me." For several reasons, surviving dorm life can certainly be one of the most difficult challenges you'll face your freshman year.

When the Washington Nationals brought in the Levy Restaurant group to replace Centerplate a year ago, expectations were high for a major improvement in concession variety and service.
Perhaps they needed a year to get their bearings, because Levy has followed the incremental changes of 2009 with a number of very large wholesale changes for the 2010 season that begins today at Nationals Park.
Red Porch Expansion. Rows of seats were removed to create more in-stadium dining tables for the centerfield Red Porch restaurant, and the menu was expanded to include new items like a Southwestern Steak Salad that's big enough for two. You can reserve one of these tables in centerfield for one hour of any game during the season by calling 202.640.7947. [2011 UPDATE: The Red Porch no longer takes reservations.]
No more Papa Johns. Since RFK days, Nats fans — especially Nats fans with kids — have suffered with tiny, doughy, Papa John's mini pizzas, while Club level ticketholders enjoyed the option of Flippin' Pizza slices.
Thankfully, Papa Johns has been banished from Nationals Park, replaced by Flippin Pizza stands selling actual slices on every level of the Park (behind Sections 115, 214, and 311).
Victory Knot Pretzel. Only available in the Red Loft, this popular item imported from other stadiums where Levy runs concessions is a 2 pound pretzel in a pizza box with three sauces for dipping — a sweet cinnamon creme, a spicy chipotle honey mustard, and savory beer cheese. You definitely want to share this item.
Healthy Cart. Give the Nats high marks for listening and trying. Fans on restricted diets, or who just want to eat healthy — even at a ball park — will find gluten free items, chopped vegetable salads, low fat wraps, and yogurt parfaits at this cart which moved to a better spot on the very busy main concourse behind the 3rd base stands. Alas, on Saturday afternoon, when the lines were 15 minutes deep at every concession stand from hot dogs to beer, the Healthy Cart was the only visible vendor in the Park with no waiting.
Ridiculous waits. You really want to cut these people some slack since it's the beginning of the season, but 2 years of experience tells us not to chalk this up to "working the bugs out." As in previous years, we saw people reach the front of the line and still have to wait 5 minutes for simple food orders while a more-than-capacity staff stood around waiting for the next guy to fill the order.
Really, people. The limited menu at your food stand is designed to keep things efficient and fast. So why do I wait several minutes for a hot dog after I've reached the front of the line? A notable exception continues to be the Hard Times Cafe concession, where every employee seems to understand why they are there, and the line always flies.
Signage.The menu signage continues to prioritize adherence to corporate design standards over actual usefulness. The reimagined Taste of the Majors stand is a case in point. Gone are the wonderful garlic fries and other goodies from major league parks. Now pretty much all they sell is foot-long hot dogs. The menu, unfortunately, lists "DC Dog," "Phillies Dog," "Braves Dog," "Mets Dog"… You can wait in line for 15 minutes to get to the front before finding out what the difference is between these various foot longs. By the 4th inning of the exhibition game, the staff had already given up on explaining the menu, and was just asking people when they got to the front what they wanted on their hot dogs.
Bottomless popcorn. A new gimmick this year is the Bottomless Popcorn available at any Nats Dog stand. For $5.75, you can get a huge bucket of popcorn — enough to make anybody sick. For $7.00, you can get the "Bottomless Popcorn," which comes with free refills throughout the game. The catch? You can keep coming back for refills, but the Bottomless bucket is about 1/3 the size of the regular-sized bucket. Is this a smart way to please your customers and keep lines short? Adding insult to injury: my sister just asked for the smallest size popcorn, and was sold the bottomless variety.
The Chicken and Waffle Sandwich. OK, I'll admit I haven't tried it, but I really am scared of this thing. Available at the new Change Up Chicken stand behind Section 130 on the main concourse, it features fried chicken on top of waffles, covered in syrup. Defibrillator not included.
Running out of food. When you charge $11 for a sandwich or $9 for a hot dog, I assume your margins are high enough to account for a little waste, so it's really frustrating when you run out of food in the 5th inning. The Dupont Deli behind section 227 used to have some very nice salads, but notoriously was supplied with only 4 or 5 of them to last the whole game. This year, the salads have been replaced with hot panini sandwiches — grilled cheese, italian, or turkey. They were out of grilled cheese before Saturday's game even started.
