Young chefs cook up creative recipes for rockfish contest
The results are in from the first Junior Rockfish Cooking Contest, held last weekend in Ocean City in conjunction with the East Coast Commercial Fishermen's and Aquaculture Trade Expo. From where I sat at the judges' tables, the half-dozen youths competing in the age 7 to 11 and age 12 categories certainly put on an impressive show. Ryan Yetter of Clear Spring, Md., was the winner in the younger division with this recipe.Ryan's Rockfish .
Stop Chasing High-Tech Cheaters
Opening up The New York Times last week, I stumbled across an article that outraged me. "Colleges Chase as Cheats Shift to Higher Tech" detailed the struggle of some academics against new, high-tech forms of "cheating" that are based in Internet use, iPods, cellphones, and PocketPCs. The tone of the article was one of dismay at the collapse of morality in education. As I watched the article climb the "most e-mailed list" on the Times Web site through the day, my outrage increased. .
Desperation pitch
But my guess is that these were just the sentiments of one star-struck congressmen. Committee chair Henry Waxman (D-CA) has struck me as a serious person, not some fawning fan. The same goes for Tom Davis (R-VA) and the rest of the other 40 who aren't Towns. If he thinks he can get a majority of congressmen to roll over for him, he should think hard about that. They already showed they are willing to play hardball with a star when they recommended the Justice Department investigate Miguel Tejada for possible perjury, who told them back in 2005 he never took performance-enhancing drugs and didn't know of anyone who did. In the end, the question isn't whether Clemens can act like a groovy guy in a meet and greet, or sign a few baseballs; it's whether an American hero perjured himself, which is serious business.
April 2007
Tasha might be flying along when suddenly she feels a little lift under her wings and – aha! – starts to understand. The elevator is going up, and she is on it. The next time may not be quite so accidental, and, according to Dunne, she may even keep an eye out for the airborne dust and rising debris that indicate a thermal. She may also be on the lookout for other raptors that have been scouting thermals. In this manner, lifting and soaring, Tasha made her way along the coast to a barrier island in North Carolina, where near-hurricane winds forced her to lay low for a couple of days. Having watched ospreys on the marshes of Cape Cod during northeasters, I tried to imagine how Tasha would have responded to the storm. Though ospreys look large, their hollow bones give them little ballast; most actually weigh less than 4 pounds.

Handy concealer
ITS hard not to be self-conscious about a scar, red blotches and visible red veins especially on your face, or even dark circles under your eyes. Such flaws can now be minimised with the use of complexion correctors from Couvrance. This was demonstrated during a medical make-up class at the Avene Dermatological Hydrotherapy centre in France recently. Make-up professional Joelle Nonni showed how a green, then a red Couvrance stick thats hypoallergenic, and water- and sweat-resistant, could correct skin imperfections for both men and women. They conceal post-surgical scars, redness from laser treatment, and even psoriasis. .
AC360°: Flirting with disaster
There were supposed to be pictures tonight to give you a view of the control room from the back row. The photos didn't happen because of late word from Chicago that a decomposed body, which could be that of Stacy Peterson, had been found at an industrial site in Chicago. However, If you had gotten those pictures you would have seen: - our satellites coordinator, Brooke Turnbull, with multiple phones plastered to his ears, making sure that the two late guests and two late phoners actually made air at the top of the show - our video coordinator, Ashley Corum, frantically cutting new video of investigators at the site that was being fed in from the field - our line producer, Jenny Blanco, doing rundown aerobics to make sure the hour did not become a 90 minutes showIn the end, Brooke got us the guests, Ashley got us the pics and Jenny got us out on time.
