I'm searching for the next billion-dollar technology market
So what future technology is Mark Cuban most excited about?
That's a question I recently asked him, and while I expected to hear something like 3D printing or robotics, Cuban was thinking bigger, instead pointing to an area that touches every one of us at some point in our lives: healthcare.
More specifically, he talked about the growing importance of personalized medicine. Cuban believes things are going to change so drastically in this area in the coming years, that by the time today's children are in college, most will expect medicine and medical care to be highly tailored towards their needs, and will view things like today's one-sized-fits-all, over the counter medicine as a quaint notion of a bygone era.
According to Cuban, "Personalized medicine will dramatically change health care, how we get health care, what we need, diagnostics, everything that we do. That to me will be the next earth-shattering impact on the world."
And not only does Cuban think the earth-shattering impact of personalized medicine will change perceptions and expectations about about how medical care should be delivered, but will also have a fundamentally important role in righting this country's economic ship.
"Long term," said Cuban, "I would say personalized medicine is what going to be what gets this country out of this economic funk."
To read or listen to more of our conversation, in which we talk Kickstarter, books, Internet TV and Shark Tank, click here.
Cuban is on right track but we generally find out that internationally they become leaders since they use technology to leapfrog legacy restricions e.g. going directly to wireless, Y2K not an issue internationally, but a problem in US with legacy issues of computer code and memory (COBOL).- telemedicine has been held up for years much like Pay TV,etc . with historical restrictions- many things could be handled personally and remote for medical treatment – as well as FCC protection of broadcast markets and not allowing IPTV broadcast of remote TV channels like radio over Internet
"Long term," said Cuban, "I would say personalized medicine is what going to be what gets this country out of this economic funk."
Ok, I work in the field of "personalized medicine", and what this often means is diagnostic tests to select therapies that will work very well for a smaller sub-set of patients. That's great for the patients that benefit, of course, but it also means that you need more therapies to treat the total population, and you need to charge more for individual therapies to recoup development costs. Who's going to pay for that? And how is bending the healthcare cost curve in the wrong direction going to pull this country out of its economic funk? Ex-US markets have already been cutting back what they'll pay for medicine, leaving the US to foot the bill for drug development.
Mark Cuban has been successful, and his timing in selling before the dot com bubble popped was spectacular, but why should I think that he understands the nuances of this topic more than my mother?
Fair enough, but I still don't see it, even with this less-standard interpretation of personalized medicine. I'm suspicious that even Mark Cuban may not know exactly what Mark Cuban is talking about. Maybe he went to a TED talk and got excited about it or something, but nothing in his background suggests to me that he understands this topic.
Don't get me wrong: I'm a big believer in personalized medicine, but the value it brings has been typically incentivized by premium pricing. The patients benefit, but the cost of ever-improving healthcare is ever more. We pay a lot more for healthcare (e.g., relative to the UK or Germany) because we have an unstated belief that all patients should get every treatment that might help (and even a few that won't). Unless we put limits in place (as they have done in Europe), prices will keep rising. Unless Cuban's version of personalized healthcare can truly create efficiency without also creating new people to be paid for that value, it won't be transformative for the US economy as a whole.
I would like to send to you some information about a new technology we had invented about this.

I write about leadership myths, and bust them one-by–one.
Everybody thinks they're a leader – most are far from it. The harsh reality is that we live in a world awash with wannabe leaders. As much as some don't want to admit it, not everyone can or should become a leader (my take on the born vs. made argument). Simply desiring to be a leader doesn't mean a person has the character, skill, and courage necessary to be a leader.
If you think you're a leader, but haven't been recognized as such, you have a problem. Either you're incorrect in your self-assessment, or those you report to don't recognize your talent. Here's the good news; handled correctly, either scenario can be resolved if you're willing to do some work.
I'm often asked what it takes to get to the top – it's as if people want an add water and mix recipe for leadership. While there are many paths to leadership, they're certainly not all created equal. Perhaps a more telling issue in today's world is many of those desiring to get ahead, have no desire to help others get ahead.
I never cease to be amazed at the numbers of people in leadership positions that shouldn't be. Likewise, I've stopped being surprised when those charged with leadership development can't seem to figure out what constitutes a leader. It's my hope the following list will eliminate the confusion about why someone isn't a leader. You're not a leader if…
1. You don't get results: Real leaders perform – they get the job done – they consistently exceed expectations. No results = no leadership – it's just that simple.
2. You get results the wrong way: If the only way you can solve the deficit described in point #1 above is through chicanery or skullduggery you're not a leader. The ends don't justify the means. If you abuse your influence, don't treat people well, or confuse manipulation with leadership, you may win a few battles, but you'll lose the war. Optics over ethics never ends well, and being a jerk doesn't make you a leader.
3. You don't care: Indifference is a characteristic not well suited to leadership. You simply cannot be a leader if you don't care about those you lead. The real test of any leader is whether or not those they lead are better off for being led by them.
4. You're chasing a position and not a higher purpose: If you value self-interest above service beyond self you simply don't understand the concept of leadership. Leadership is about caring about something beyond yourself, and leading others to a better place – even if it means you take a back seat, or end up with no seat at all. Power often comes with leadership, but it's not what drives real leaders.
5. You care more about making promises than keeping them: Leadership isn't about your rhetoric; it's about your actions. Leadership might begin with vision casting, but it's delivering the vision that will ultimately determine your success as a leader.
6. You put people in boxes: Stop telling people why they can't do something and show them how they can. Leaders don't put people in boxes, it's their obligation to free them from boxes. True leadership is about helping people reach places they didn't know they could go.
7. You follow the rules instead of breaking them: Status quo is the great enemy of leadership. Leadership is nothing if not understanding the need for change, and then possessing the ability to deliver it.
8. You churn talent instead of retain it: Real leadership serves as a talent magnet – not a talent repellent. If you can't acquire talent, can't develop talent, or can't retain talent you are not a leader.
9. You take credit instead of giving it: True leadership isn't found seeking the spotlight, but seeking to shine the spotlight on others. The best leaders only use "I" when accepting responsibility for failures. Likewise, they are quick to use "we" when referring to successes.
10. You care about process more than people: But for the people there is no platform. Without the people you have nothing to lead. When you place things above the people you lead you have failed as a leader.

When I rose to my first leadership position I was told something very simple "Its not about you anymore. It's all about them."
Hi Mike, I think that summed up every bad manager I've ever had.
I'm currently finishing my diploma of management and one of our topics is about managing up. I've handed in that assignment but I have to ask.
How would you approach managing up with a leader who has several of your points in their 'leadership'?
Number 6 is very meaningful because it happens outside of the workplace. The judgment people place on others is crippling. It causes that person to believe they cannot or ought not to do something. It is the enemy of motivation and growth.
Your point concerning the military misses the essence of leadership; the ability to motivate, and take your soldiers to heights they never thought they could reach. If you lead with orders, your soldiers will only do the minimum. If you lead with vision, you will get the maximum out of them. They will figure out your motives very quickly
Ultimately, as a leader in the military, you are going to require your soldiers to perform in the most unnatural environment, combat. They need to trust you and believe your will not only do things right, but you will do the right thing.

Action Bronson lives in the apartment he's lived in his whole life, at the southern edge of Flushing, Queens. Before he started rapping, Bronson dropped out of Bayside High School and cooked at his father's still-open Mediterranean restaurant in Forest Hills, which specializes in Albanian dishes like Jani me Fasule, a white bean stew. Also a culinary school dropout, Bronson is a passionate chef, freestyling insane, flavor-piling recipes that reconcile what he calls the "peasant" food of his childhood with what he's encountered out in the world.

After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess, the club's proprietor and headliner.

Positive: 11 out of 38
Mixed: 21 out of 38
Negative: 6 out of 38
It's big, perfectly cast and entertaining in every way, but more than that it feels like a generous public event.
Burlesque delivers eyeful after eyeful of rapid-fire opulence and spectacle. But its most memorable sight is the indelible image of one star taking flight, and another triumphantly staying put.
A musical vamp on young LA's decade-long Pussycat Dolls fascination with tarting up like strippers and shaking those money makers, it's somewhat less than the sum of its parts. But those parts. Oh my.
Falling in the pillowy cleavage between mildly awful and slightly entertaining, Burlesque is a clichéd rags-to-diva story that culminates in a series of Christina Aguilera videos.
Earnestly ersatz down to every spangle, dance move, plot turn, and line of hokum dialogue, Burlesque is a showbiz pic for these American Idol times - a time when we agree to pretend that mediocre mimicry of better artists is good enough to keep us entertained. We agree to pretend that quality is in the eye and ear of the undemanding beholder.

U.S. Rep. Tim Bishop, of Southampton — who is currently in an election battle with St. James businessman Randy Altschuler — discussed current issues in the political scene in the latest episode of " The Hamptons Lutheran Parish."
Host the Rev. Dr. Katrina Foster, the pastor of Incarnation Lutheran Church in Water Mill and in Amagansett, asked Bishop about recent reports regarding a campaign contribution from a constituent.
Bishop denied that he inappropriately sought a contribution after the constituent asked for his assistance.
"It's really very simple," Bishop said. "A constituent asked me to help him get permits for a fireworks display because the fireworks company had not filed for the permits on a timely basis.
"Bringing various agencies of government together to get to the right answer is something that we do all the time. We were able to get it done, and that was it."
Bishop noted that the constituent in question, Eric Semler, denied in the original Politico report that he committed any wrong-doing.
Semler gave Bishop's campaign $5,000, but Bishop donated the money to veterans' organizations after the controversy arose, "out of an abundance of caution," his campaign said at the time.
"We are in unfortunately, the political season where charges fly and whether or not they are substantiated generally isn't as important as making the charge," Bishop told Foster.
Foster and Bishop also discussed the current debate over abortion.
"The notion that a women would have to carry the child of her rapist or have to carry the child that results from incest is extreme, and, as I say, I think it's cruel," Bishop said. "Choice is a legitimate issue on which reasonable people can disagree. My own view is that I am pro-choice but I share the formulation that President Clinton used, which is that abortion should be safe, legal and rare, and the emphasis on rare."
Other topics included tax credits, tax rates, and the national budget deficit.
Bishop said everything must be on the table when it comes to cutting the deficit, including defense and revenue, and there can be "no sacred cows" that are exempt from discussion.
"For people to talk about this process as if it's painless, as if it can be done as some sort of magical application of a formula is misleading the American people, and they deserve better," he said.
Altschuler has been invited to appear on the show at a future date, Foster said.

The Chilly 5K Challenge lived up to its name Tuesday morning for the 438 runners who started 2013 off on the right foot.
The Joplin Family Y's annual race has become a New Year's Day tradition for area runners of all skill levels. It began at the Y's downtown location at 510 S. Wall Ave. and ended five kilometers (3.1 miles) later at the branch at 3404 W. McIntosh Circle Drive.
Joplin resident Gregg Ward finished in 27 minutes last year. He said Tuesday morning as he waited for the race to begin that the challenge this year is to keep improving.
"I started running with my wife over two years ago," Ward said. "This run has definitely grown over last year, and that's a great thing to see. It's great to see a wide group of people out here trying to better themselves and to have fun."
Temperatures dipped into the low 20s before the start, and a few flakes of snow were spotted, so many runners were attempting to keep warm and loose while waiting to begin.
Terra Oxendine, 24, participated in her first Chilly 5K Challenge despite coming down with a cold earlier in the week, and despite the temperatures.
"I was already signed up, so even a little cold couldn't keep me away from this," Oxendine said. "I've been excited for this all week. The freezing cold hurts, but it will be worth it in the end."
Oxendine is a Joplin Family Y member who participates in weekly boot camp classes that feature intense workouts and three-mile runs.
"I feel like participating at the Y has made me ready for this," she said. "It really is a great way to get in shape and to meet people who have the same goals in the community."
Kim Gray, development director for the Joplin Family Y, helped organize the event, which serves as a fundraiser for the "Strong Y, Strong Community" program.
"In addition to promoting good health throughout the community, the 5K challenge also helps raise money for us to provide Y programs to low-income families and kids," Gray said. "What started as a healthy way to start the new year has helped others have the opportunity to take part in Y activities who may not have had the chance before."
Gray said the event has grown steadily since its inception. Last year's event pulled in 341 runners.
"Everything we do here at the Y is to build confidence and the community," Gray said. "We want events like this to encourage all fitness levels and age groups to participate."
Race results
THE TOP FINISHER in Tuesday's Chilly 5K Challenge in Joplin was Caleb Hoover, who came in at 15:28.51. Victoria Kline, of Miami, Okla., was the top female finisher. Her time was 19:20.55.

I have to say, I am as excited right now as I have ever been about live music in Macon!
This weekend, Macon will be filled with sounds from some of the great artists of the past as GABBA Fest celebrates its 21st anniversary at the 567 Center for Renewal and the Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House. Also, the College Hill Alliance brings this seasons Second Sunday concert series to a close with rhythm and blues legend Percy Sledge.
GABBA Fest is the Georgia Allman Brothers Band Associations weekend long tribute to Southern rock. This year, they have a lineup that includes Southern rock greats such as Les Dudek and Barry Richman, as well as the GABBA Fest favorite Members Jam, which is hosted this year by Mystery Road. Find out about all the great events at www.gabba.org.
College Hills Second Sunday is probably the most popular live music event in Macon. This seasons series finishes with a bang as it features one of the worlds greatest soul singers, Percy Sledge.
It is amazing that they are able to put on this incredible concert series for free each year. The College Hill Alliance is a nonprofit organization and could always use a helping hand with all they do. Go to www.collegehillmacon.com to learn more about this great organization and how you can pitch in!
Now, as if those two big events this weekend arent enough, we seem to be just getting started since on the horizon we have events like Steve Moretti and Matt Catingubs inaugural Macon Pops concert at the City Auditorium on Oct. 26.
Orchestra music in Macon has never been so fun! Bring your dancing shoes because this show will have you on your feet from the opening notes. They will be mixing these shows up with some special guest performers. Macons own Floco Torres has been tapped to join a performance, and you never know who else may show up!
Then, the Cox Capitol Theatre has kicked its music schedule into high gear since the Moonhanger Group has taken over managing duties. They have announced shows by the Drive-By Truckers on Oct. 18, Edwin McCain on Oct. 24, and Steve Earle on Oct. 25. Coming in November are Bootsy Collins, Galactic and Zoogma. You can find out more about the musical lineup and purchase tickets at www.coxcapitoltheatre.com.
Now there is no way anyone can say there is nothing to do in Macon. Get out and enjoy some live music!

Member and Strategic Partner companies agree to abide by the following policies set forward by the SIMalliance. These policies set forth the framework, rights and obligations for membership.
SIMalliance Code of Ethics
Ethical behaviour underpins the way in which members of the SIMalliance behave, do business and treat one another. The SIMalliance Code of Ethics aims to guide Members' actions, encouraging a way of working which is honest, responsible and respectful and fair. Any Member who fails to behave in a way which is consistent with this Code may be subject to termination as a SIMalliance member.
SIMalliance Competition Law Compliance Programme
The SIMalliance Competition Law Compliance Programme should be interpreted in light of the basic goals of the SIMalliance, namely to promote interoperability and the rapid development of widely available specifications that will foster openness and competition in the SIM-card market to the benefit of consumers. In seeking to comply with the competition laws, the SIMalliance board, working group chairmen and members should abide especially by a few overarching principles. In particular, the operation, activities, and decision-making of the SIMalliance should:
- further consumers' interest in the rapid development of accessible and widely-available specifications to fully exploit the powers of the SIM-card, SIM-card extensions and the SIM application toolkit to support value added services and technical development in relation to GSM and other mobile phones and networks
- be transparent and permit genuine and effective participation by SIM card industry participants
- avoid any collusion among SIMalliance members (and others) that would restrict competition
The purpose of the SIMalliance Intellectual Property Rights Policy (IPR Policy) is to support the protection of intellectual property while achieving compliance with the goals of SIMalliance to foster openness and competition in the SIM-card market to the benefit of consumers. The IPR Policy seeks to reduce the risk that investment in the preparation, adoption and application of Specifications by SIMalliance could be lost as a result of an Essential IPR for a Specification being unavailable. The IPR Policy therefore seeks to balance the needs of standardization with the rights of IP owners.

Although Pondicherry, one of the top destinations in Tamil Nadu, has been directly connected by train to many major Indian cities (New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Bangalore), up until now there's been no direct train to and from Mumbai. Travelers have had to go via Bangalore or Chennai and change trains, or go as far as the nearest station (Villupuram Junction, 38 kilometers from Pondicherry).
The good news is that's all a thing of the past with the introduction of the 11005/11006 Puducherry-Dadar Express this week.
The train departs Mumbai on Sundays, Mondays, and Fridays at 9.30 p.m. Going to Mumbai, the train departs Pondicherry at 8.15 p.m. on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. The journey takes nearly 35 hours, over two nights. With an average speed of 47 kilometers and 34 stops, the train isn't particularly fast -- but it is direct!
It's got two AC 3-tier, one AC 2-tier, nine Sleeper class, three General Second class and two General Second Class/Guard's Brake compartments.

Fashion veteran Diane von Furstenberg arrived fresh on the NYC fashion scene in 1970, armed with a friendship with Vogue editor Diana Vreeland and 12 shirtdresses she'd made in Italy. By 1976, von Furstenberg had already gained renown in the fashion sphere with the invention of her iconic wrap dress, and 20 years later, with the nostalgia for '70s fashion at its peak, Diane re-emerged on the New York fashion scene with a new version of her now-signature piece, tailored to the modern tastes of chic young women. This volume looks at the history of the wrap dress phenomenon, from its revolutionary early days to its ever-popular present.

jimmy carter
Jimmy Carter -- former president and Nobel Laureate, author and global humanitarian -- speaks of his born-again faith with a directness that is striking even in today's political culture. He reflects on being commander in chief while following, as he says, "the Prince of Peace"; on upholding the law while privately opposing abortion; and on his marriage of 60 years as a metaphor for the challenge of human relationship both personal and global.
We speak with Washington insider Joseph Califano, a devout, lifelong Catholic, who held key positions inside the Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter administrations. Califano provides frank insight into the practical difficulties of applying religious ideals in the political arena.

January 28, 2013
Charlottesville police believe a man was demonstrating his Second Amendment rights, when he walked into a grocery with a loaded semi-automatic rifle.
On Sunday a 22-year-old male walked into a Kroger at the intersection of Emmet Street and Hydraulic Road.
Reportedly the man first walked into the store and quickly left. He then returned with an AR-15, prompting several calls to police.
"It does elevate the concern of moms and dads, parents that are in there with their children while they are shopping," said Charlottesville Police Lt. Ronnie Roberts. "It also concerns us that the individual would take that type of approach."
The man was detained for questioning, as well as to ensure that he was in lawful possession of the weapon. Since there was no crime committed, he was released.
Kroger managers banned the man from the property.

The first event in a new series, "Jewish Community Center Conversations: Love & Equality," will feature outtakes from a documentary film and a panel discussion on marriage rights in North Carolina.
The event is set for 3 p.m. Sunday at the Levin JCC, with a pre-program reception from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. Tickets for the reception with a reserved seat are $36. General admission is $12, and $8 for JCC members.
The panel discussion will include Lennie Gerber and Pearl Berlin, Marcie and Chantelle Fisher-Borne, and Lydia Lavelle.
Gerber and Berlin grew up in Brooklyn in the 1940s, fell in love in the Midwest and made a life together in North Carolina. They have been together for 47 years and are the subject of the documentary film "Living in the Overlap." As the state nears the year anniversary of the vote on Amendment One effectively banning legal same-sex marriage, the couple recently celebrated their wedding at Beth David Synagogue in Greensboro.
The Fisher-Bornes are plaintiffs in the 2012 lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union in Greensboro on behalf of six same-sex couples and their children. The suit challenges the state's ban on second parent adoption, a process by which one partner in an unmarried, gay or straight couple adopts the other partner's biological or adoptive child.
Lavelle is a Carrboro alderwoman and law professor who was recently involved in reviewing the Supreme Court ruling on Prop 8. She teaches Sexual Identity and the Law and State and Local Governmental Law at N.C. Central University School of Law.
"We embrace the opportunity to celebrate the lives of those fighting for equal rights and gender equality," said Steve Schauder, executive director of the Jewish Federation of Durham-Chapel Hill. "Fighting for justice is one of the highest Jewish values that there is, which is why I am delighted that the Levin JCC is providing a platform for such an important conversation to take place."
The Levin JCC is located at 1937 W. Cornwallis Road in Durham.
Willimon book reading
Hillsborough Presbyterian Church, 102 W. Tryon St., will host a book discussion and signing by retired United Methodist Bishop Will Willimon of his first novel "Incorporation" at 7 p.m. Sunday
Willimon is a professor at Duke Divinity School and the former dean of Duke Chapel. "Incorporation" has been described as "a wild ride through the 21st century church" as the author exposes the underbelly of a totally fictional mega-church whose staff and members readers may recognize in their own congregations.
Bike-friendly church
With bike racks, water fountains and ample places to rest, University United Methodist Church, 150 E. Franklin St., offers a cyclist-friendly environment for guests and members alike.
The church, which is open throughout the week for community groups and visitors, was recently recognized by the Carrboro Bicycle Coalition as a "Carrboro-Chapel Hill Bicycle Friendly Business."
"We consider our hallways to be extensions of Franklin Street," said lead Pastor Carl King. "We're thrilled that Chapel Hillians enjoy our facilities as their own. Parking your bike, using the restroom, stopping for a quiet time of prayer are all opportunities for University UMC to show God's hospitality to all."
Members of the community are invited to bike downtown, park their bikes at the church and enjoy both the church and all that downtown offers.
Children's service
A special Back to School Service for young people is set at Emmanuel AME Church, 2018 Riddle Road, during the 10 a.m. worship service Sunday.
Parents are invited to come and bring children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The Rev. Jason D. Thompson, a youth minister from Chicago, a native of Hillsborough and an out-of-town-member of Emmanuel, will preach on the theme "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child."
Clothes Closet event
The Take and Wear Clothes Closet located at Lystra Baptist Church will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 24.
Anyone needing clothes or students needing clothes for back-to-school are welcome. Everything is free. Numbers will be drawn to determine the order in which people may shop.
The church is at 686 Lystra Road, off U.S. 15-501.
Jewish Chorale auditions
The Triangle Jewish Chorale will hold auditions for additional singers in all sections for the upcoming fall and spring seasons.
The chorale will prepare a whole program of selections based on texts from the Psalms from popular settings by the Melodians (a la Bob Marley) to classical ones by Lewandowski and Schubert.
In the spring, the chorale will hold some one-day workshops open to the public with guest conductors and vocal teachers.
The Triangle Jewish Chorale performs vocal works in concert for special occasions and in celebration of community events. Lorena Guill is the conductor.
To sing with the chorale, one needs a rudimentary knowledge of musical notation, but singers do not have to be Jewish.
Regular rehearsals are held on Tuesdays from 6:55 p.m. to 8:55 p.m. at the Levin Jewish Community Center, 1937 W. Cornwallis Road, Durham.
The first audition for the fall will be Tuesday, Aug. 27. Contact Bernard Most at email@example.com or call 919-493-1288 for further information.
Wesley celebrates move
The Wesley Campus Ministry at UNC will celebrate its new location on East Franklin Street with an open house from noon to 2 p.m. Sunday.
The Wesley Loft, located above Krispy Kreme, is what Amanda Dean, campus minister and executive director, says is "a manifestation of a vision God gave us several years ago when we began our discernment process of Wesley's future.
"We are excited to reach out to more students than ever before and are praying for God's guidance as we begin again at 157 E. Franklin St.," she said. "We are excited to offer students a place to come and visit with one another in our lounge, grow in their relationships and knowledge of faith in our small group room and find refuge and quiet in our prayer room."
The ministry will have weekly meals in the fellowship hall at University United Methodist, and Wesley Worship will continue to take place on campus in Chapman Hall, room 201 on Sunday evenings.
Play and ice cream
"Once Upon a Parable," a children's musical, is being produced by Christ United Methodist Church's fifth annual day camp for musicians and actors, ages 4-18.
This production will take place at Christ Church in Southern Village at 1 p.m. Thursday. An ice cream sundae reception will follow the performance; all are welcome.
Death Cafe meeting
The first meeting of the Chapel Hill Death Cafe from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday at Unity Center of Peace, 8800 Seawell Road.
Founded by Jon Underwood and based on the work of Swiss sociologist Bernard Crettaz, Death Cafe was launched as an opportunity for people to come together to share their fears and questions about death and dying in a safe, supportive environment with nourishing food, refreshing drinks and cake.
The Rev. Rosemary Hyde, ordained interfaith minister and co-minister at Unity will facilitate.
She is a board certified clinical chaplain and when asked about the pertinence of such an event said, "We have an interest in it, and indeed the fact that we will all share in this experience is a huge motivator for making the most of our lives. It propels our search for authenticity, our yearning for spiritual connection, our desire to leave a positive legacy for our families and communities."
Started in the United Kingdom, the first U.S. Death Cafe was offered by Lizzy Miles. For more information on the movement go to deathcafe.com.
Those in need of a traditional grief support group are invited to attend Unity's new monthly Grief and Spirituality Support Group. It will hold its first meeting from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Aug. 27 at Unity.

Revisiting Catching and Defense
by, 07-31-2013 at 07:02 PM (572 Views)
My last blog topic on catcher defense was last November. The trade of Butera has prompted a revisit.
Through July 26 while Ryan Doumit was catching, 46 out of zone balls were called strikes and 205 in zone strikes were called balls. They convert it to a ratio which for Doumit would be 0.22 extra strikes/lost strikes. That ratio is the worst in baseball and the next for a current catcher is twice the ratio at 0.44. The data is from Baseball Prospectus.
How much difference does that make in terms of runs? Mike Fast used Dan Turkenkopf's study showing that reversing a strike into a ball is worth 0.13 runs.
You can and will argue that validity of both but many teams are using this work. Ben Lindbergh had a great series of interviews including executives, catchers, coaches, pitchers and umpires earlier this year.
So Doumit had caught 291.2 innings through July 26. He had a net of 159 lost strikes. Converting that into runs and using a per 9 inning measure, Doumit has impacted the game by 0.64 runs per 9 innings this year.
Many of you will join the Twins in ignoring this data.
Shouldn't the Twins wonder why the Dodgers with a back up catcher with an OPS of .590 didn't go after Doumit?
Instead, they added Butera. Butera can't hit. He can catch. Through 2012 had been about even in the strike/ball counts. He is very good in other measures and may be very good in receiving the ball.
Earlier this year Ramon Hernandez was the Dodgers back up catcher with an OPS over .700. They dropped Hernandez for the more skilled receiver in Federowicz. Federowicz can't match Hernandez' hitting. He can catch. Look for quotes from Steve Yeager in the top article below about the Dodgers and catcher defense.
Do you want the Twins to continue to ignore this data from pitch f/x?
Could it be that the Rays, Yankees, Dodgers, Pirates and Diamondbacks are off base in seeking catchers for their ability to receive the ball?
How much does Doumit cost the team with his defense? It must be something, but 0.64 seems very high. Even if it is half that, is it possible that we have been employing the wrong back up catcher this year?
My sources
Edit: to add offensive comparison.
Doumit has created 40 runs this year (Baseball Reference) in 372 plate appearances. That is 0.43 runs per 4 plate appearances.
Last year, Butera created 8 runs in 122 plate appearances or 0.26 per game.
The difference in the offense while playing Doumit is about 0.17. Could Butera have made up that difference with his defense at catcher?
The Twins probably expected Doumit to do as well as last year's 0.51 per 4 PA. That is 0.25 runs per 4 PA better than they might have expected from Butera.
Did the Twins employ the best back up catcher?

Staff-recommended viewing from the KPL catalog.
I must confess that I have never seen a Marx Brothers movie. When I embarrassingly mentioned this to Karl, he responded that he was envious of me since I will be seeing these for the first time. This past weekend I dove into the great Marx Brothers Silver Screen Edition DVD collection which includes The Cocanuts (1929), Animal Crackers (1930), Monkey Business (1931), Horse Feathers (1932) and Duck Soup (1933). Today I find myself still laughing at some of the stuff Groucho, Chico, Harpo, and Zeppo pulled off. Don't make the same mistake as I did and wait too long to watch these masters of cinematic comedy!

CHM Practicum – WAC copyright assignment
Hi all,
Just another quick note to tell you about the work I have been doing as part of my cultural heritage management practicum with the World Archaeological Congress (WAC). I have been working with Ashley Sands as part of the Global Libraries Program, researching the current international copyright and intellectual property (IP) laws regarding electronic materials, e.g. journal articles, ebooks etc. The Global Libraries Program hopes to use this information to develop a digital academic database, which would ensure that all Global Libraries have the same materials and resources as high income libraries, thus, levelling he playing field of knowledge across the globe.
My main research question is:
What are the current international laws regarding copyright?
The sub-questions analyse in detail what is allowed and was is prohibited by these laws in regards to uploading personal collections, uploading the work of others and whether domestic laws have an impact on such arrangements.
It has been an interesting research task and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Global Libraries Program creates as a result.

CHM Practicum update: WAC mail out
Hi all,
Just a quick note to tell you about the work I have been doing as part of my cultural heritage practicum with the World Archaeological Congress (WAC). As you may remember, I have been working with Ashley Sands on the Global Libraries Program. Just to remind you of what Global Libraries Program is: The Global Libraries Program aims to develop the archaeological literary collections of low income institutions. By supporting these libraries, the program hopes to assist students and professionals of archaeology and cultural heritage management, by providing academic resources to help their study or work. There are currently 45 libraries across the globe.
My task as part of the practicum was to conduct a mailout of over one thousand books and journals to 43 countries. I did this mail out independently but surprisingly, it didn't take that long to do. Ashley Sands provided me with a list that described which books had to be sent to each country, so from there I began organising the books. My methods were quite simple, organise the books, stuff them in an envelope, attach the neccessary documentation, seal, stamp etc. Any remaining books were sent back to Ashley Sands in Los Angeles.
Two main issues arose whilst completing this mail out. Firstly, where could I store the books and the envelopes during the prac? And how were we going to pay for postage? I stored most of the books in the Map Room and in Hum 112. I also used these spaces to organise the books and prepare the packages. The issue of postage is yet to be resolved. I was allocated a postage budget but the total cost of postage far exceeded what I was allocated. I guess I'll have to keep to posted on what happens with that.
Hope you're all well and good luck with exams and assignments!

Orroral Valley Tracking Station
All the way back in February this year, I accompanied Alice Gorman on her field work at the former Orroral Valley Tracking Station in Namadgi National Park, Canberra. Also along for the ride was Rob Koch (Tafe SA) and Ian Moffat (ANU).
Of course, we happened to make the 15 hour car trip to Canberra on one of its wettest weekends since 2002. The average rainfall for February is 55.4mm – that weekend they received 104mm. The rain did not however curb our enthusiasm, we donned our rain coats and went about recording and mapping the site using differential GPS and geophysical techniques.
The Orroral Valley Tracking Station, operational from 1965, was established as part of NASA's Spacecraft Tracking and Date Acquisition Network (STADAN). The station closed in 1985, and today is visible only through the foundations of the buildings, a 'footprint' left as a reminder of the past.
Over the past few months I have been partaking in a Practicum as part of my Masters in CHM. This has involved looking into the history and use of Microlock networks, Minitrack stations and Baker Nunn cameras (all used in the tracking of satellites) at Orroral Valley and within Australia. Hopefully, this will assist Alice in her attempts to record and document the site so that an in-depth understanding of its contribution to Australia's space history can be established.
Stay tuned for my results…

Lower Murray Archaeological Project (LMAP), Stone Artefact Analysis: Blog Two
Hey everyone!!
Thought I should update you on how my directed study is going so far. Well with two weeks until it's time to hand it up, I've been very busy. My last blog was huge so I promise this one will be smaller.
For those who have been hanging around the labs lately, I'm sure you would have noticed me floating around. Yesterday I took all my photographs for the report, with the help of John.

Sunnyside will soon have two new public spaces that residents can enjoy during the summer.
Police are continuing the investigation into an accident that killed four friends after their car plunged into an Astoria creek and as one politician calls for a review of safety measures on the roads leading to the water.

After listening to numerous complaints recent No. 7 train suspensions have caused, the MTA has told Long Island City – we're sorry but the work must go on.
The western Queens neighborhood gathered on Friday to celebrate the announcement of the designation of the Kaufman Arts District, the first of its kind in the borough.
A town hall meeting for locals to decry the last three weekends of No. 7 train suspensions is scheduled for March 27 to go over the details of the service disruption, expected to last for 19 more weekends.
The Long Island City community is concerned a new string of subway shutdowns will bring more problems to residents and business owners.
Planned Parenthood of New York City (PPNYC) announced plans to open a not-for-profit health center in 2015 in Long Island City, two blocks away from the Court Square subway station.
The Long Island City community is asking for the public's help in finding the driver who fled the scene after fatally hitting a 64-year-old man on Northern Boulevard last Friday.

Roasted Eggplant and Garlic Dip with Toasted Pita Wedges Recipe
1 large eggplant (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil plus more for brushing eggplant
1 large whole head of garlic, unpeeled
4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
1/3 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
3/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves ( I pulse in my food processor)
Preheat oven to 450°F.
Prick eggplant with a fork several times and on a baking sheet brush with oil to coat.
Cut off and discard top quarter of garlic heads, making sure you can see the cloves and place the garlic in middle of a large piece of parhcment paper or you can use foil however it may stick, I only use parchment. Sprinkle garlic with 1 teaspoon oil and fold the garlic completely in parchment paper face down. Place packet next to eggplant on baking sheet and roast in middle of oven, turning eggplant after 30 minutes, 45 to 50 minutes, or until eggplant is very soft and falls down. Cool.
Transfer eggplant to cutting board. Cut off and discard stem end and halve eggplant lengthwise. Scoop flesh out into a bowl, scraping as close to skin as possible. If there is any liquid pour it out.
Squeeze roasted garlic from skins into a food processor. Add eggplant, lemon juice, tahini, parsley, and salt to taste and blend until smooth and parsley is minced fine. Dip may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, keeping covered. Transfer dip to a bowl and serve with toasted pita wedges.

Welcome to our family house, just 1min walk to the beach! We rent the 3 rooms to travellers who want to live the real "pura vida life style" for few days, sharing with them the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and the big gardens in front and behind the house!
The house has 2 double rooms and one single room. The guests share the big kitchen, the bathroom, the laundry room and the great spaces for relax or stretch after sport.
What makes our location ideal is the fact that you're just in front of the Santa Teresa Beach access, really closed to the best surf spot here! It takes 30 second to reach the beach! And you'll be closed also to the shops, restaurants and night life, but surprisingly always in a peaceful place where you can stay in a hammock absorbing the animal sounds and relax.
My boyfriend is an expert mountain bike guide, if you like sport as we do, we can offer you mountain bike tours, or spearfishing tours too.
I'm an italian qualified masseuse, so you can also enjoy a great MASSAGE during your staying!
Casa Amapola is a Family House: we live here with our dog River, so we share with the travellers our "pura vida life style" and we are always there for the guests!
Meals are not included, but we can cook and have dinners and party with guests like with friends, and share the cost!

The House was very nice and homey. I enjoyed my stay very much.
En general, todo perfecto durante la estancia. La ubicación de la casa es ideal, muy cerca de la playa. Lugar tranquilo, con todos los servicios cerca. Además, el recibimiento, limpieza, ambiente, etc. genial!! Muy recomendable, un lugar para repetir. Ah! Y los mojitos que preparó Tom, bueníiiisimos! ;-)
Casa Amapola Family House is truly a beautiful home to stay. The location is perfect and the hosts are amazing! I extended my holiday again and again because I didn't want to leave.
Wonderful location and pura vida host
monica and svevo's house is very well located, right across the street from the beach. great stay, no problem at all, safe and comfortable. they were super accommodating with my dog and very to communicate with.
Monica welcomed me warmly to her place in gorgeous Costa Rica and at the same time gave me the adequate space to behave like it was my own home. I highly recommend staying in this spot as it's close to everything and they've pretty much got the right balance of party and chill out time. And you get to make lovely new friends out there!
I loved staying at Casa Amapola!! Monica, Svebo and all their friends in Santa Teresa were such an awesome crew. The house is in a great location and it was my favorite place to have stayed in Costa Rica. I only wish I could have stayed longer!
Monica and Svevo are wonderful people/hosts and fantastic at creating a community with their warmth and friendliness and with delicious group dinners. The room was a good value and the hammocks, location and wifi were ideal. I had a great massage with Monica and she even took the time to walk me down to a natural pool that forms among the rocks at low tide to go swimming, an amazing spot I never would have found on my own. I would not mind returning! :)
What a beautiful experience this whole stay was, to the point I stayed another two days in the tent out the back ($8 a night) and even then didn't want to leave my new friends!
This place forces you into Tico mode. Don't come here if you value your privacy and personal space above all...the feel I get here is like living with friends in a share house...in turns chilled and party time. Leave your schedules and stress and any other first world expectations and demands at the $70 a night tourist hotels ;)
Monica and Svevo are fantastic, genuine people... Svevo accompanied me on 20-35km runs on his mountain bike to show me routes, just cos he's a great guy and has been there done that in endurance running!
Monica makes a wicked pasta..Italian, what do you expect!
The vibe is relaxed, safe and happy. Sure the fridge can get crowded and the bathroom can become a little "in demand" when there's a full house. But its all good. The beach is amazing, just a couple of minutes and ask Svevo if you can borrow a hammock to take down there...many a post run hour saw me snoozing in a cool breeze amongst the palms listening to the waves...
The running is (email hidden)ach or back roads. Main road is dusty and busy but has a great vibe. I'm 51 and found the energy of the place wonderful...super friendly and quirky.
I would go back here in a heart beat...just the right mix of chill and action. Social and time out solo.
The tent is great. The single room which I had very comfy. The dogs can be noisy in the neighbourhood at times but so be it.
In a nutshell it's like a tiny hostel or guesthouse where you've lived for 6 months and feel totally at home :). Or a share house....
One thing is get thorough details of how to find the house in the FIRST email. Landmarks and which hostel it's near where the bus can drop you off. I wasn't the only one who arrived in town having no idea where the house was :D. l
I spent extra on a shuttle bus from Montezuma as I knew he'd go the extra mile in helping locate it... Phone connection isn't great so it took many calls to finally reach Monica to get the exact location. Just a heads up ;)
I loved this place...but especially my new friends Svevo and Monica!!

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. -- It's safe to say students at Lake Norman Charter High School don't really remember the Columbine High School shooting in 1999 because they were babies. But they do remember a school shooting that happened just a few weeks ago at Chardon High School in Ohio and for many of them, it was a wake-up call.
"It's so hard for me to realize that people feel the need to go out and hurt other people because they're hurting inside," said Kate Hickert, a student at Lake Norman.
Students at the school have been following the message of Rachel's Challenge since the start of the school year and some of them even decided to join the "Friends of Rachel" club.
Rachel Scott was the first victim of the Columbine shooting.
And while the students at Lake Norman heard her story and heard how she died, they also heard about how she lived, by spreading kindness and compassion.
And now in the wake of another deadly school shooting, students feel it's even more important to spread Rachel's message.
"I feel like Rachel's club helps prevent that because we help people feel better about themselves and we help them see that there's kindness in everyone," said Hickert.
And that's part of the reason she joined the club.
"In the fifth and sixth grade, I was picked on for looking different. I was very tall, heavier than the other girls and a lot of people called me names and picked on me because of that," Hickert added.
"And one girl, without knowing anything that was wrong, she walked up to me one day and she told me I was so beautiful and one of the most beautiful people she'd ever seen and I just feel like everyone should have that type of person. I would like to help people be that person."
Students at Lake Norman even got a letter from Rachel's sister, Dana, encouraging them to reach out to the students at Chardon High.
"We have this big card that the whole school is going to sign and we're asking all the homeroom teachers to get their kids to write letters," said Hickert.
"It's sort of like a big box of love and compassion going to Ohio."

Marion Grice leaves ASU to be with family
Heading into next Saturday's Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl matchup against Navy, Todd Graham and the ASU Sun Devils have every reason to be excited about their San Francisco trip.
Unfortunately for the Sun Devils, they might be making the trip without their second-leading rusher.
Junior running back Marion Grice (520 rushing yards) left the team this weekend, after his brother was killed in an attempted robbery Friday.
Grice did not practice Saturday before heading back to Houston to be with his family. In 2012, Grice provided ASU's offense with the perfect compliment to senior Cameron Marshall. He led the team in rushing touchdowns (9) and yards/carry (5.8).
It's unknown if he will return to the team before Saturday's game against the Midshipmen.

Heart Failure: From detection to recovery
More than five million Americans have suffered from heart failure. It is the fastest growing disease in cardiology with over half a million new cases diagnosed each year. It occurs when one of a variety of causes weakens the heart so it can no longer adequately pump the blood the body requires.
Recognizing heart failure
Heart failure is typically caused by either a heart attack or a viral infection. Other less common causes include untreated high blood pressure or a diseased heart valve. Some of the more common warning signs of heart failure include:
- Shortness of breath, especially when you exert yourself
- Leg or abdominal swelling
- Fatigue.
Since these symptoms are not always specific to heart failure, patients may mistake them for a less serious problem. Sometimes patients may not experience any symptoms at all. If you think you may be experiencing heart failure you should seek immediate medical attention.
The treatment of heart failure continues to evolve. Options that were uncommon just a few years ago are readily available today. Procedures for treatment can be complicated and may require a heart failure specialist for proper management. Some treatment options are:
- Medication therapy
- Ultrafiltration-a device therapy that filters water and sodium from the blood, available for both inpatients and outpatients
- Mechanical assist devices- a device that assists hearts too weak to pump blood effectively.
Your center for care
The Carl H. & Edyth Lindner Heart Failure Treatment Center at The Christ Hospital is the only center in the U.S. to be accredited by the Healthcare Accreditation Colloquium and The Joint Commission. A unique center for treatment of patients with heart failure, this 28-bed unit offers state-of-the-art care.
The Lindner Heart Failure Treatment Center has three dedicated cardiologists who implement the best practice guidelines for care, as well as cutting-edge technologies for treatment of heart failure patients. Before hospital discharge, the patient, family and caregiver will receive education on medications, disease state, exercise, rehabilitation and support groups. The Heart Link Program at The Christ Hospital is a unique tool to help patients transition from the hospital to home.
For more information about the Heart Failure Treatment Center, please call 877-904-4YOU or visit www.TheChristHospital.com.

Lycoming was seeded sixth in the tournament and is currently ranked 25th in the country. For the Pride, Chris Perry picked up a great win as he defeated Chris Dahlheimer, 8-5. Dahlheimer was currently ranked fifth in the country in the 165 pound weight class.
In the win over Case Western, the Pride recorded three pins as it picked up the 24-point win. Bill Schady needed little time to pick up the win at 197 as he pinned his opponent in just 59 seconds.
As the Pride picked up a 33-10 win over Hunter, there were several different faces in the lineup for head coach Daryl Arroyo. However, a familiar face in the lineup, senior Chris Brown, picked up his third win of the day as he pinned Arkadiy Levitin in 3:14.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - As concerns about bullying in Tennessee schools continue, now a proposed bill could allow students to fight back if they're attacked, without facing punishment.
The Student Self-Defense bill, or House Bill 860, would amend existing zero-tolerance policies for fighting in schools that say all parties involved should be punished equally. The bill states, in an instance of a physical attack on a student on school property or at a school activity, a student may not be disciplined if it is determined they acted in self-defense.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Terry Lynn Weaver, believes it gives students the right to defend themselves, and school officials the chance to evaluate every situation individually.
"I think it's positive, and I'm getting great feedback on it," said Rep. Weaver. "It's a common sense piece of legislation."
But, some believe the bill isn't complete, and it won't help control the problem.
"It only talks about physical aggression, not verbal bullying," said Rodger Dinwiddie, the CEO of Students Taking A Right Stand or STARS Nashville. "Most bullying isn't physical, most bullying is psychological. This doesn't address that."
Dinwiddie added that he believes supporters view the bill as a quick fix, when in reality, educational programs in school would be a better long term solution.
"There are so many proactive things that schools can do that don't cost a lot of money," said Dinwiddie. "It just takes time, energy and commitment."
Rep. Weaver maintains the bill will help students and administrators fight back against bullying.
"There are so many cases where kids are bullied and end up suspended and it's not fair," said Rep. Weaver. "This will empower principals to handle fights at schools fairly."
House Bill 860 is scheduled to go before a House Subcommittee next week. Rep. Weaver said she believes it has enough support to pass.

MOORE — State Rep. Anastasia A. Pittman will join other elected officials and business and community leaders at an economic development summit Sept. 5.
The Equal Opportunity Economic Development Summit will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. Sept. 5 in the grand auditorium of Metro Technology Centers — Conference Center, 1900 Springlake Drive in Oklahoma City.
Rev. E.W. Bryant, pastor of Wildewood Baptist Church and an organizer of the event, urged pastors to spread the word.
"We are asking pastors to present this information to your social action ministry and congregation for those who are interested in a career change or need to find employment immediately," Bryant said.
"We are also asking for your congregation to provide transportation for your members to attend this event."
Pittman said the event will feature an economic development foundation.
"The summit will feature Tim Burg, executive director of the Shawnee Economic Development Foundation," said Pittman, D-Oklahoma City. "This foundation has created and provided employment connections for a broad array of people.
Rev. Morris Holmes, the pastor of Higher Ground Baptist Church, said the event is an opportunity for any individual looking to improve their economic status.
"Our ultimate goal through this economic development summit effort is to provide a sound economic development process that enhances prosperity through the business sector to motivate as much risk-taking and competition as possible in the context of a level playing field," Holmes said. "Jobs are a vital element of prosperous families and communities.
"Economic growth is defined as a sustained increase, over a period of time, in the material goods and services produced within a specified geographic region. This is an opportunity for anyone seeking a job or better career opportunities."
The program participants include: Harold Roberts, Rep. Anastasia A. Pittman, Commissioner Mark Costello, former Secretary of Commerce Russell M. Perry, other officials, local pastors and employers from across the state.

When I was trying to come up with a title for this editorial, I was actually hoping for something more grandiose. More awe-inspiring. More … choir of angels-like.
But it seemed more important to emphasize two things in this space. The first is that if you've seen past iterations of Dragon Magazine, you should expect to see many familiar elements in this latest iteration -- specifically, new articles in each issue that will make your game more fun and more compelling. That means new monsters, new powers, new feats, new magic items, new paragon paths, and new ways to use it all.
You'll see features you've come to love, like this issue's Demonomicon of Iggwilv article on Yeenoghu. You'll see articles that give you new race options for your next character, like "Playing Warforged." And you'll see plenty of familiar designers in our pages (such as Ari Marmell, whose first 4th Edition article comes out in a couple weeks), as well as new authors (like you, once you've read your 4th Edition core rulebooks).
So why the question mark in the title? If everything's the same -- I mean, digital delivery aside -- what's new? It turns out, plenty.
The new Dragon will be delivered almost entirely in pdf format. (I say "almost" because we'll still put columns up as Web articles as they roll out over the month.) Each week, we'll release portions of the issue -- feature articles and columns like this one -- until we've released the entire thing. Then you'll get a monthly pdf compilation of the whole issue at the end of the month.
Oh, and did I mention these issues are free? We want you to get a taste of what we're bringing to your table. So for at least a couple of months, we're not charging for a D&D Insider subscription.
Thanks to Dragon going digital, we'll be able to more fully integrate all our content. Hyperlinks are just the beginning. We're exploring opportunities to add multimedia options to the magazines -- like the "On the Set of 4th Edition" cartoons you've enjoyed in the past few months. Furthermore, all of Dragon's content will also be integrated with the D&D Compendium and other upcoming D&D Insider utilities.
We're treating all Dragon's content like we do all our printed game supplements. Everything you'll see in these pages makes its way through our experienced, savvy developers, and our story team checks each article for internal continuity, as well. So if you see it in Dragon, it's D&D canon like never before.
Perhaps our most exciting change is that we'll be offering our readers the opportunity to playtest new D&D rules before the finished content sees print. Next month will kick off with a new class, and in the fall, we'll be offering up exclusive playtest opportunities for Player's Handbook II.
So there it is. We know the past few months haven't quite delivered everything we hoped. But we're confident that with our redesigned, relaunched, fully digital Dragon, we'll give you more than enough reasons to keep coming back each week.
Oh, and hey, welcome to 4th Edition!

Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — Paige Bergeron found this recipe while surfing the health and fitness section of the online pinboard Pinterest and modified it according to the veggies she had on hand. She used dried herbs but thinks it would be even tastier to subsitute fresh.
"It satisfied my desire for a pizza but it was healthier," said Bergeron, of Corvallis in western Oregon. "Very yummy. Really healthy, except for the cheese, but what's a 'pizza' without the cheese."
Portobello Mushroom Pizza
2 or more portobello mushrooms
1/2 onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, diced
1/2 zucchini, diced
2 fresh tomatoes, diced
Shredded Parmesan and mozzarella cheese
Basil and oregano to taste
Sautée onion, green pepper and zucchini. Add diced tomatoes, basil and oregano. Scoop the filling into the mushrooms, then pile on shredded cheese. Bake at 350° for around 15 minutes or until cheese melts.
