CSC has more than 90,000 employees and annual revenue of $14.3 billion. The company ranks No. 4 on Washington Technology's 2005 Top 100 list, which measures federal prime contracting IT revenue. |
Getting his start in the kitchen beside his Mom, the chef of the Harley museum's Motor Restaurant, Jed Hanson, still focuses on comfort food. |
As a kid Jed Hanson wouldn’t eat certain foods, so his mom came up with a plan. If he helped cook, she reasoned, he’d be more likely to eat a meal. It worked. |
Now the executive chef at MOTOR Bar & Restaurant at the Harley-Davidson Museum, 400 W. Canal St., Hanson calls his approach comfort food with a twist, always with a nod to what he learned from mom. |
Hanson, who started out in the kitchens at The Grove (formerly in Elm Grove), attended culinary school at Milwaukee Area Technical College and worked his way through local professional kitchens from Hotel Metro to the former River Lane Inn and Big Daddy’s Brew and ‘Que. |
He lives in Greendale with his partner, Andrea, and her sons, Kian, 14, and Colden, 12. |
Question: How did you get started cooking? |
Answer: I started at home with my mom. She was the one who got me interested in cooking food. When I was a kid, there were certain things I wouldn’t eat. I hated onions, the crunch drove me nuts. Kid stuff. She had this theory that if you got the kids involved in making the meal, they’ll eat it. Apparently, it worked. |
Q: What was your first kitchen job? |
A: I was at a get-together and somebody there was a cook. I was talking about getting into the culinary industry. He had me call his boss, and I was offered a job even though I had zero experience. I was on line cooking, sautéing, thrown in to the fire pretty quickly. That was at The Grove, which has since shut down, but it was an Elm Grove staple. |
Q: What’s your Milwaukee meal, something to introduce to people? |
A: At this point, it would be one of the gastropubs that has popped up around town. Milwaukee is built on beer, and past that, sausage. Going out and getting a brat with sauerkraut and a beer pairing, that’s one of my favorite meals. It’s simple, classic and filling. It is not a salad. |
Q: How do you define your cooking? What’s your kitchen style? |
A: It has always had to be comfort food. What my mom taught me was classic dishes with a comfort food twist. My bearnaise sauce that I make is something that she taught me. |
Q: Do you have a signature dish? |
A: I like deep-frying stuff. It is an over-the-top sensation putting things in the fryer and seeing how they come out. One of the first things I put on the MOTOR menu is the deep-fried Oreo, and that has done very well for us. It is very Wisconsin. |
The first tasting I did when I proposed these for the menu, everybody’s eyes ballooned. That’s the reason I got into cooking. It makes me very happy to see something so simple make people happy. |
Q: What are your current go-to ingredients? |
A: Butter. That is always at the top, … I’m also a big fan of brussels sprouts, whether shredded, charred, roasted or deep-fried, but my girlfriend can’t stand them. I’m working on that. |
Q: Are you a cookbook fan? |
A: I’ve become more of an online person. I generally don’t take recipes directly. … I’ll use them for creativity and inspiration. I’ll see ingredients and come up with a translation that works for us. |
I’ve got cookbooks galore. Some of the cookbooks I’ve been leaning into recently are the Steven Raichlen books, “The Barbecue! Bible” and “Project Smoke.” He uses a lot of different smoking techniques, and we have two electric smokers in house. They’re loaded every night. |
Q: What things did you think about when revamping this current menu at MOTOR? |
Whenever I change the menu, I just think of those meals I make for myself at work, throwing stuff on a sandwich, and thinking wow, that works. The menu here is 98 percent stuff I want to eat on a daily basis. |
Being Harley, we’re local and we get our cheese curds right across the river from Clock Shadow Creamery. Harley has been supported by Milwaukee for so many years, pay it forward. |
Q: Did you ride or have any familiarity with motorcycles before this job? |
A: No, and my mom would kill me. I did ask when I started, do we get a discount on motorcycles? The answer is no. But it is a super cool, super interesting company, and very deeply rooted in Milwaukee. I started the Monday after the big 115th anniversary rally last year. |
Q: Where will we find you on your days off? |
A: At home, drinking coffee. My girlfriend and I bought our house 5 ½ years ago. Her two boys are here half the time, they’re 14 and 12, so on Wednesdays I pick them up from school and we do a family dinner. Wednesdays are always family day. |
From a valuation point, the mkt is not cheap. It is trading in the rich zone and not looking attractive. Mid and smallcaps are pricey compared with largecaps. |
Equity is enjoying its day in the sun, and in comparison looks better. But one must remember that overpaying for equity will eat into returns. |
The Union Cabinet on Monday approved four goods and services tax (GST)-related bills, which have already been approved by the GST Council after detailed discussions. |
There are expectations that sectors such as logistics, capital goods, auto and pharma will benefit from GST implementation over time. |
However, market mavens believe implementation of the long-pending bill will take time to benefit investors. |
With the Cabinet approval to the four bills in place, the GST regime in India is in the final stage of culmination and the GST law will most likely be implemented from July 1. The draft legislations include Central Goods and Services Tax (CGST) Bill 2017, Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST) Bill 2017, Union Territory Goods and Services Tax Bill (UTGST) 2017 and Goods and Services Tax (Compensation to the States) Bill 2017. |
“We will not get a perfect GST on Day 1, and it will take some time to remove the irritants and make it friction-free. Over three to five years, the formal sector will benefit in many areas,” Vetri Subramaniam, Group President of UTI Mutual Fund, told ET in an interview. |
The Nifty50 hit its all-time high level of 9,218 last week as sentiments got a boost after the GST Council cleared crucial legislations, raising hopes that the new indirect tax regime will be rolled out by the second quarter of FY18. |
However, market experts are looking cautious on further market movement as valuations are not looking favourable for investors. |
“From a valuation point, the market is not cheap. It is trading in the rich zone and not looking attractive. Midcap and smallcap stocks are pricey compared with largecaps. I would prefer largecaps to smallcaps. Valuations have been a challenge for the better part of last 2-2.5 years. The good news is that Indian investors have given money through SIPs, which averages the impact of valuations, which have come close to average. As an investor, one should stay the course, keep an eye out for opportunities that come on corrections to increase exposures,” said Vetri Subramaniam. |
“Equity is enjoying its day in the sun, and in comparison looks better. But one must remember that overpaying for equity will eat into returns,” Subramaniam said. |
Inside Lacrosse is back with their fourth annual All-Name Team, where Caldwell Rohrbach and Braxton Deaver rub shoulders with Draper Donley and Baxter Lanius IV. New this year: a women's team. Stereotypes ahoy! |
The CW has released a new promo video for Arrow season 4, continuing the "Aim higher" campaign for the series. The trailer first appeared at the end of the Vixen season finale. |
The new teaser trailer shows a rapid-fire sequence of events in the newly rechristened Star City, with the Green Arrow and his compatriots all getting a feature shot or three. That includes Diggle in his new helmet, which in the trailer includes a visor over the cut-away hole that makes it look more high-tech motorcycle helmet and less Magneto-rip-off, plus quick shots of Black Canary and Speedy. The most ominous part of the trailer, though, is voiceover that includes "the monster you were inspired monsters," and "I suggest you say goodbye." |
Check out the new promo above, and check out Arrow season 4, premiering Wednesday, October 7, 2015 on The CW. |
LaRussa`s problem was that he was unable or unwilling to adjust to a perfectly normal condition of employment: He had a boss. Roland Hemond, Harrelson`s predecessor, should have been LaRussa`s boss, but Hemond didn`t have the stomach for it. He and LaRussa, above all, were friends, working stiffs, teammates who huddled together and protected each other during every crisis from above. |
LaRussa lost his guardian angel last Oct. 2 when co-owners Reinsdorf and Eddie Einhorn decided, after consultation with their board, that Hemond had to go. Harrelson accepted the post with one stipulation, inserted at the 11th hour: He could do whatever he wanted except fire LaRussa without Reinsdorf`s approval. |
''Yes, sir, I`m sure we can work together,'' LaRussa announced he needed two weeks in Hawaii, on vacation, to think it over. |
Whether LaRussa used this time to review other other managerial offers, I don`t know. But he agreed to return, providing all his coaches were retained. A compromise was reached. LaRussa would accept Doug Rader, a Harrelson choice, as his third-base coach to replace Jim Leyland, who had been hired to manage the Pittsburgh Pirates. |
Reluctantly, LaRussa also agreed to an expanded coaching staff that included 2 1/2 other newcomers: batting coach Willie Horton and Moe Drabowsky, who would tutor the relief pitchers, and broadcaster Don Drysdale, a Hall of Famer available as a part-time pitching instructor. |
Harrelson reasoned that all ballplayers, rookies and veterans alike, could benefit from additional instruction. He was wrong. A former player himself, he should have realized that ballplayers seldom listen to their coaches. And with three pitching coaches instead of one, he created the perfect copout: In the event of failure, the pitchers--and LaRussa--could say it was the result of overcoaching. Too many cooks. |
--Einhorn and Reinsdorf met with Harrelson and LaRussa. Still at war, Harrelson and LaRussa in turn offered to resign. Reinsdorf insisted they stay. Then a curious thing happened. To clear the air and show that LaRussa had his support, Harrelson agreed to a press conference the following morning, to be held in the United Airlines cargo area at O`Hare a half-hour before the Sox were to leave on a three-city trip. |
There was nothing of consequence to announce. Press conferences are held when a manager is fired or hired, certainly not when there has been no change. The only news, which could have been handled in a one-sentence release, was that coaches Horton and Drabowsky were no longer on LaRussa`s staff and henceforth would limit their instructions to players on Sox farm teams. |
But Harrelson was eager for a show of unity, so he swallowed a tub of crow while the cameras rolled. ''Tony`s a good manager . . . We didn`t need all those coaches,'' and so on. For 15 minutes, Harrelson, the front-office boss, publicly kissed LaRussa front and back, and with a smile. |
LaRussa should have thrown his arms around Harrelson and said, ''Hey, Hawk, we`re going to win this thing together.'' Instead, he kept a stern game face and insisted the club`s failure could be traced to Horton and Drabowsky. It was nonsense. Horton and Drabowsky, between them, didn`t lose a single game. |
LaRussa made it clear that the White Sox, his White Sox, now were ready to open the season. And it was off to Cleveland, where they swept a three-game series from the Indians. Having beaten the Hawk, LaRussa reduced Rader to a bench coach, replacing him at third base with holdover Joe Nossek. The surge continued--10 wins in 13 games. On the night of May 21, the Tony LaRussa White Sox were in fourth place, three games under .500. |
Concurrent with this success was the return of Carlton Fisk to his catching position. The transfer of Fisk to left field was LaRussa`s idea, with the blessings of LaRussa`s coaches. Harrelson also approved. Three weeks into the season, Harrelson began having doubts. |
In early May, Harrelson summoned Herman Franks to Chicago, the same Herman Franks who managed the San Francisco Giants and the Cubs. Franks, a knowledgeable and plain-speaking veteran with more than 50 years in baseball, was hired recently by the Sox as a part-time scout. Although suffering with the gout, Franks packed a small bag and made the trip from his home in Salt Lake City. |
''Watch us and tell me what`s wrong,'' Harrelson said. |
Harrelson conveyed the message to LaRussa, but he wasn`t ready to concede. It wasn`t until a week later, a day or two after the O`Hare press conference, that Fisk picked up a catcher`s mitt. |
Once the Sox began cooling off, the internal struggle resumed. Harrelson fired Dave Dombrowski, his assistant, not because of ''a difference in philosophy'' as reported, but because Dombrowski--who had been hired by Hemond --had refused to budge from LaRussa`s camp. Later, pitching coach Dave Duncan, another LaRussa man, criticized the front office for allowing a news leak that Tom Seaver might be traded to the Yankees. Duncan wasn`t aiming for Reinsdorf and Einhorn; Harrelson was his target. |
LaRussa had more than ample opportunity to close the breach. Why he refused is anybody`s guess. Perhaps he had the notion that he was more than a field manager, that he was Harrelson`s equal, a co-general manager. Or he was convinced, win or lose, the Hawk eventually would dump him. Whatever, LaRussa will have to face the facts of life. At his next stop and the stop after that, he will have a boss. Unless he buys the club. |
Windhoek — The president of the University of Namibia (Unam) Student Representative Council (SRC) for 2017, Joseph Kalimbwe, will next Tuesday launch his book about the struggles of students at higher institutions of learning, entitled 'Persecuted In Search of Change'. |
The book centres on the two months when the SRC was mired in conflict with management, particularly Kalimbwe and his vice president, Raymond Tjiueza, as well as Vanessa Hifitikeko and Jefrey Shapange, all of whom were expelled from the institution after protests by the students over fees. |
A week later Kalimbwe announced his intention to write the book about the struggles of students, the operations of Unam and its relations with the SRC and the injustices faced by students. |
Kalimbwe writes about the need to get the concerns of students heard. "When I first sat to write this book, I thought about all those stories of students who have never known the joys of a better day. I was possessed with a crazy idea that we could bring about the much-needed change in the lives of these students to give them hope and inspiration." |
The book, which also features a member of the SRC for external affairs, Shapange's ordeals in one of the chapters, explains the need for the youth to find their own identity and discover their destiny and calls on the younger generation to serve without betraying their generation. |
This will be Kalimbwe's third book after 'Teenage-Hood and the Impact of the Western World', which he wrote in his first year at the university, and 'The Pain of An Empty Stomach', which he penned in his second year. |
"I spoke with my colleagues in the SRC department and some gracious members of staff on how we could get things done in telling the story and they gave their opinions on what they thought, and along with how... we saw things, we put those ideas into a book to tell the next generation of student leaders and students who are to come in the next twenty, thirty or forty years," Kalimbwe explains. |
He adds that there is a need for youth and students in particular to be able to choose the life they want for themselves. |
"Whether to be social media advocates for change or people who actually get involved." The book also explains the operations of a body mandated to represent students, the SRC. The student activist explains that being a student leader requires one to set aside personal differences with others and work towards the welfare of others. |
He further believes that the SRC must always go beyond the mere belief implanted from the top that the student leadership must just be about organising Friday night events, where students get drunk and return to their struggles the next morning, after the alcohol is out of their system. |
"It must also be about the actual governance of students and how to help those students thrive, to make sure their priorities are met first before a building or software system is considered," he emphasises. |
Over the years, NANSO seems to have changed the way student leaders lead at institutions of higher learning and many are following suit. |
"When you are in the SRC, there is often a temptation to think you have arrived. The need to address student issues ends with the joy of being offered coffee in a meeting. |
"You get nearly everything that ordinary students do not and when you're the SRC president, there is an even bigger temptation to fall short to the evils of pride. That's what we want to tell the next generation in this book, to stay true to the struggle,' says Kalimbwe. |
The outspoken student leader adds that he is happy that people in the next 50 years will be able to read about what students and young people did in 2017. Friends, fellow youth and members of the Unam community are set to attend the book launch next week. |
Germany just booked its 24th straight month of falling unemployment. |
Think about that: An aging Western nation, not thought of as being on the vanguard of high technology right now, without an abundance of natural resources, in the midst of an existential crisis all around it, just keeps cranking out the jobs. |
According to Bloomberg, the official unemployment rate fell to 7%, once again, hitting a new post-reunification record. A seasonally-adjusted drop of 8,000 jobs was better than the drop of 17,000 jobs economists had predicted. |
And of course, this is what makes the anti-Merkel hatred even more interesting. The booming economy and lack of joblessness hasn't helped her one bit, confounding anyone who thinks that all citizens care about is jobs and the economy. |
Dolphins offensive lineman Jamil Douglas blames himself for Sunday's 18-12 loss to the Colts because he got the snap count wrong on fourth down at the goal line. |
In the end, it was a roster shortcoming that doomed the Dolphins in their 18-12 loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. |
After driving 75 yards in 11 plays, the Dolphins, facing a six-point deficit, were in position to defeat the Colts at Sun Life Stadium. |
However, a crucial mistake on the Dolphins' final offensive snap led to quarterback Ryan Tannehill being sacked. |
The Dolphins (5-10) faced fourth-and-goal from the Colts' 5-yard line with 27 seconds left, but rookie center Jamil Douglas, the fourth-round pick who was playing for injured Pro Bowl center Mike Pouncey, snapped the ball before the rest of the offense was ready. |
"It's on a double cadence," interim coach Dan Campbell said, "so it got snapped early." |
While the rest of the offensive line was pretty much still in its stance, quarterback Ryan Tannehill was sacked by defensive end Robert Mathis for the Colts' sixth sack of the game. |
The Dolphins squander a chance to win with a bad snap, lose to Indianapolis 18-12. |
"I've got to pay more attention to details and get it fixed," a dejected Douglas said in the locker room. |
Even the announced crowd of 65,482, many of which had seen a slew of Dolphins mistakes all season, was in disbelief at how the game ended. |
Numerous Dolphins players, from veterans to rookies, consoled Douglas after the game as he sat at his locker. |
Tannehill, who has been the goat more often than the hero, expressed sympathy for Douglas, the rookie from Arizona State. |
"I feel for him," said Tannehill, who was 26-of-38, 329 yards, no touchdowns and one interception for an 84.2 passer rating. |
The Dolphins' line play let them down yet again as miscommunication, poor technique and a penchant for presnap penalties were too much to overcome. Now, 5-11 and a Top 8 draft pick are likely. |
"I've been there. I've been that guy numerous times in my career." |
This loss said as much about the Dolphins' roster as it did about Douglas, who was drafted as a guard and made his football debut at center for a few snaps against Houston earlier this season. |
The Dolphins, who jettisoned trained backup centers such as Sam Brenner and Jacques McClendon earlier in the season, didn't have a backup who was ready to play Sunday. They recently re-signed McClendon and guard/center Shelley Smith, but neither was ready to play against Indianapolis. |
Douglas, who started the first four games at right guard before being replaced by Billy Turner, got extended playing time at center against the New York Jets four games ago when Pouncey was injured. |
Douglas struggled at his new position and was charged with three fumbles that game. |
The Dolphins never corrected that problem and it cost them a victory Sunday. |
