A YORK baker is hoping to set up a shop after his “real bread” has proved a hit with customers.
Al Kippax, who used to work as a chef in London, moved to York with his family with the idea of opening a café or restaurant.
But finding premises proved difficult and Mr Kippax started baking bread with no processing aids or other artificial additives in the kitchen of their home in Bishophill.
The Bluebird Bakery has since become one of the first 50 bakeries in Britain to adopt The Real Bread Loaf Mark since it was launched in September 2011 by ambassadors of the Real Bread Campaign, which is part of the charity Sustain: The Alliance For Better Food And Farming.
Mr Kippax delivers his loaves, which include sourdough, rye and wholemeal, as well as beetroot and spinach loaves, around the city.
He has a stall at Newgate Market, which now opens on Tuesdays as well as Thursdays.
He also sells from four York delis – Alligator, Tarts And Titbits, Henshelwoods and the Good Food Shop, as well as The Ackhorne pub, just off Micklegate.
He said that he saw a gap in the market, started experimenting with baking and then went on a course in Scotland to hone his bread-making skills.
Currently baking the bread at night in his kitchen, Mr Kippax said it would not be long before he was at capacity and would need to think about moving on somewhere.
He said was interested in opening a shop in Micklegate and be part of the Micklegate Quarter’s efforts to reinvigorate the street.
There’s no place I’d rather be than in a Nashville recording session. I mean, all that talent in one tiny room? That would be heaven on earth. And sure, there are computers and mixing boards to fix the things that don’t sound quite so heavenly, but still.
However, when the Zac Brown Band hooked up with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl to make their new four-song EP The Grohl Sessions, Vol. 1, they didn’t do it the high-tech way. They went old school. Not like crammed-into-someone’s-garage old school. But they recorded the music to tape. Not to computers.
Cook explained that in a session, the singers and musicians could make things practically perfect and then edit the rest.
While Cook says he felt creatively free, he acknowledges that some of the band members were skeptical about dealing with a slightly different studio environment.
CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians manager Terry Francona expected to see Oliver Perez run out of the bullpen. Pitching coach Carl Willis made the call for Dan Otero instead.
Francona instructed Willis to have "O-P" warm up, referring to Oliver Perez, with the bases loaded and a 4-3 lead with closer Cody Allen struggling. Willis misunderstood the message, believing he had used Otero's nickname of "O-T."
"When I saw O-T coming through the gate, it's not that I don't think he can pitch, but it just wasn't the guy I was expecting," Francona said. "We had a communication (error). That one lands squarely on me, no getting around it. I know Carl is beating himself up right now, but that one lands on me."
Allen (2-4) initiated the sequence by loading the bases after recording two outs in relief of Bauer, who struck out 12 in eight shutout innings. Cleveland's bullpen entered the day with the third-highest ERA in baseball at 5.13.
"Quite frankly, heart of hearts, I felt like Cody was going to get out of the situation," Willis said. "But you know, I made the mistake, got the wrong guy up. It's not that O-T can't get the job done, but it probably wasn't the best matchup."
Adam Duvall also doubled in a pair in the ninth, while Jose Peraza and Eugenio Suarez had RBI singles off Allen. Cincinnati's final seven batters reached base before Scooter Gennett ran into the third out on Suarez's hit.
"I take sole responsibility for everything that took place there," said Allen, who was charged with a career-high six runs. "We're confident in every guy that runs out of that gate and we shouldn't have been in that position in the first place."
Making his first start since being named to his first All-Star Game, Bauer only allowed three singles and didn't surrender a hit until Jesse Winker's one-out liner up the middle in the fifth.
"Bauer was a handful for us and we ended up scoring all of our runs when he exited the game," Votto said. "There is a reason why he's an All-Star and there is a reason why he is fastly becoming one of the better pitchers, if not one of the best pitchers in the game."
Francisco Lindor hit his fifth leadoff homer of the year and fellow All-Star Jose Ramirez had a solo shot for the Indians. Ramirez' home run was his 25th, marking the eighth time in franchise history the milestone has been reached in the first half of the season.
"This is really an energetic, high-energy group, a fun-to-manage group," he said. "It was on display at its best right there. That's probably the best inning I've been involved in for a long time."
The four-run comeback in the ninth was the Reds' first since June 30, 2006 against the Indians.
RHP Homer Bailey (right knee) reported no physical issues after throwing two innings out of the bullpen Sunday in a rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville.
Reds RHP Tyler Mahle (7-6, 3.66 ERA) takes on Indians RHP Carlos Carrasco (9-5, 4.28 ERA) in the three-game series finale. Mahle hasn't lost since May 20, going 4-0 in eight starts, and has an NL-low 2.04 ERA since June 1.

Management's AMPTP has weighed in on the WGA's ongoing feud with the Association of Talent Agents, rejecting the guild's request that the studios and networks participate in what the AMPTP calls a "group boycott" of talent agencies that refuse to sign the WGA's proposed new Agency Code of Conduct.
After three days of bargaining, the American Federation of Musicians and management's AMPTP have agreed to extend their current film and TV contract until Nov. 14.
Members of the Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839, have voted overwhelmingly to ratify a new film and TV contract. The vote to approve the three-year deal with management's AMPTP was 868-213 – an approval margin of 80.3% to 19.7%.
Of the guild's 3,695 eligible members, 1,081 (29.3%) cast ballots.
Christiane Amanpour’s show “Amanpour” will be aired by PBS stations “on an interim basis,” replacing Charlie Rose’s late-night interview program.
PBS has a plan for replacing Charlie Rose’s late-night interview program, and it starts with Christiane Amanpour.
“Amanpour,” the acclaimed journalist’s existing program on CNN International, will be aired by PBS stations “on an interim basis,” the public broadcasting network said Monday.
“Charlie Rose” was a staple of the PBS schedule for decades. The hour-long program was owned by Rose’s production company and distributed to local PBS stations all across the country. Many stations scheduled it at 11 p.m.
Now both PBS and Bloomberg have an opening. The networks severed ties with Rose after the Washington Post and other outlets reported on sexual harassment allegations in Rose’s past.
Rose has apologized for “inappropriate behavior” while casting doubt on some of the accusations.
The veteran international correspondent anchors “Amanpour” on weeknights, most frequently from London. CNN International will continue to produce and air the program. The rebroadcasts on PBS stations will help the program reach a bigger audience in the United States.
The main PBS station in New York, WNET, will begin airing “Amanpour” on Monday night. It will be made available to other stations a week from now.
“Featuring conversations with global leaders and decision makers on the issues affecting the world today, ‘Amanpour on PBS’ adds to the long tradition of public affairs programming that has been a hallmark of public media for decades,” PBS CEO Paula Kerger said in a statement.
Meanwhile, at another network, “CBS This Morning” is also contemplating a successor for Rose. The morning show is having several CBS journalists fill in for him, one week at a time.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Joe Cullen could have bailed on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The defensive line coach had an offer to leave the Jaguars this month and become defensive coordinator at Boston College. The move would have reunited Cullen with one of his closest friends, new Boston College head coach Steve Addazio, and taken Cullen back to where he grew up.
But Cullen opted to stay in Jacksonville even though the Jaguars (2-13) are dealing with the worst season in franchise history and are surrounded by uncertainty regarding the future of the front office and the coaching staff.
Cullen says, "it hasn't been the best of years, but I want to see this thing get turned around."
Over the last year, together we helped restore integrity to voting machines in states across the country. More than half of the states now require all voting machines to keep paper records of every vote. But some states are still ignoring the documented problems with unverified voting—we need Congress to act.
In April, you'll have a rare opportunity to meet with members of Congress to ensure every single voting machine in the country is secure and reliable. You can make the greatest impact by going to Washington, D.C. to meet with legislators from your state. If you can't travel to the Capitol, there will also be local meet...
Constituent meetings like this are the most effective way to convince members of Congress they must act. Many MoveOn members traveled to D.C. last June, and they helped convince dozens of representatives to co-sponsor Rep. Rush Holt (D-NJ)'s Voter Confidence and Increased Accessibility Act (H.R. 550). Voting machine ex...
Since then, one of the bill's most powerful opponents was forced out of his leadership post because of his involvement in the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. This, along with concerns about voting machine security raised by the Carter-Baker election reform commission and the non-partisan Government Accountability Offic...
Now's the time to show members of Congress how serious we are about the integrity of our nation's voting machines. As one of the MoveOn members who cares most about election integrity, can you attend a constituent meeting?
There are many problems with American elections, but none more serious than the rise of paperless electronic voting, whose results cannot be trusted. Grass-roots reformers are in the middle of a two-day lobbying blitz on Capitol Hill in support of a House bill that would require that electronic voting machines in feder...

2. How did I learn it?
Trial and error. First I tried the notetaking box provided within the Mendeley software. I found it a bit too limiting. I wanted to be able to draw graphic organizers and this is easier to do in Google Docs.
3. How might I learn it differently, maybe even better, in the future?
Find out from someone who has done it before instead of banging around by myself.
4. How might I help someone else build on my learning?

The Wall Street crew that wants to cut your Social Security and Medicare benefits are sensing that victory is in sight. They have managed to knock jobs completely off the agenda and have made deficit reduction the near exclusive focus of economic policy in Washington. They are now setting the stage to have the Congress...
The backdrop for these cuts is that the country is in crisis and that we have no choice. A central part of this story is that the stock market crashed last week in response to the Standard and Poor's downgrade of U.S. government debt. The Wall Street crew and their allies in the media and Congress will tell the country...
This story has as much credibility as John Edwards' tales of marital bliss during his presidential campaign. First, every informed investor knows S&P's sterling track record of missing everything in sight. It gave top investment grade ratings to hundreds of billions of dollars of subprime mortgage-backed securities, to...
They also know that S&P, like the other credit rating companies, is very concerned about the final wording of rules that are being written as part of the Dodd-Frank financial reform bill. That is why it is far more likely that the downgrade was done with the hope of currying favor from powerful political figures than o...
This is why the markets completely laughed off the S&P downgrade. Yes, the markets completely laughed off the S&P downgrade. Let's say that a third time just so that even a Washington Post editor can understand it: the markets laughed off the S&P downgrade.
The S&P downgrade was supposed to mean that it is now more likely that the U.S. government will not be able to pay its debt than previously believed. If the markets took this warning seriously then they would attach a higher risk premium to U.S. government bonds. That would mean that bonds would fall in price and the i...
But the exact opposite happened. U.S. government bonds soared in price. The interest rate on Treasury bonds plummeted to less than 2.2 percent, near-record lows. In other words, investors voted with money as loudly as possible that they view U.S. government debt as a very safe asset and that the S&P crew doesn't have a...
There is an obvious alternative explanation for the stock market plunge which also explains the flight to government debt. The euro zone's debt crisis spread from relatively small countries like Greece and Ireland to the euro zone giants, Spain and Italy. If these countries defaulted on their debt it would almost certa...
This in turn could lead to the sort of financial freeze-up that we saw after the collapse of Lehman in the fall of 2008. This would mean another economic free-fall with the economy shedding millions of jobs as normal financial flows were blocked.
The euro zone collapse scenario is genuinely frightening and can easily explain why the markets would be panicked. But the moral of the euro collapse story is to get competent people running the European Central Bank who can prevent this sort of crisis. Cutting Social Security and Medicare will not save the euro.
However the Wall Street crew knows that most people do not follow the economy and finances closely. So they just made up a bogus story with the hope that the country would buy it. Thus far they have already gotten politicians and reporters to push their line that the debt downgrade led to the stock market plunge.
Needless to say, those pushing for cuts in Social Security and Medicare will freely use the story of the downgrade market plunge to advance their agenda without fear of ridicule from the media. As a result, we can expect a continual parade of public figures saying that we need big cuts in these programs in order to pre...
If these programs are to be protected, it is essential that the public provide the missing ridicule. Any politician who has so little understanding of financial markets and the economy to blame the stock market plunge on the downgrade should not be involved in designing economic policy. Any reporter or columnist who ma...
People who understand economics know that Social Security and Medicare have nothing to do with the country's economic problems. Unfortunately such people have been virtually excluded from the national economic debate by the people with money who want to undermine these programs.
Flames caused significant damage in a home on Sutton Farm Drive on Sunday.
The fire was on Sutton Farm Drive.
NEW CASTLE - Flames burned through the roof and significantly damaged a Chappaqua house on Sunday.
The blaze broke out on Sutton Farm Drive around 3:45 p.m. The fire, which resulted in the ceiling collapsing on the second floor, was accidental, Chappaqua Fire Chief John Maduras said. It was not immediately clear if officials had determined what caused the fire, though.
Residents were home at the time of the fire, but there no injuries to the residents or firefighters, Maduras said.
About 60 firefighters from multiple departments responded. Firefighters were on the scene for more than three hours.
Firefighters arrived and found flames had spread through the attic and roof, Chappaqua First Assistant Fire Chief Russell Maitland said. Firefighters pushed into the home before they were forced out by a large ceiling collapse on the second floor, he said.
They were able to make their way back into the house later and extinguished the fire, Maitland said.
Firefighters from Millwood, Mount Kisco, Pleasantville and Thornwood also helped at the scene, as well as ambulance crews from Chappaqua and Pleasantville, New Castle police and the Westchester County Arson Task Force, Maduras said.
Armonk firefighters were covering Chappaqua during the blaze, and Armonk crews handled a carbon monoxide call on Cowdin Circle while Chappaqua firefighters were still on Sutton Farm Drive. The high levels of carbon monoxide were caused by a faulty appliance, which was turned off while the house was ventilated, Maitland...
