Recipe by Chef John
"This recipe's roots can be traced back to the Great Depression, when farmers first began selling the unripe peppers out of necessity. Of course, we did what Americans always do when faced with a new variety of food, we stuffed meat in it."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Best stuffed peppers I've ever had. I followed the recipe almost exactly - I didn't have beef broth so I just used water and it was still delicious. Thanks!
I'm kind of in the middle with this recipe. I just thought it was okay, but my husband really liked them and my kids, well 2 out of 4 ate theirs. I think that I like the Stuffed Green Peppers I better from this site, but I think that next time I will combine some aspects of this recipe, such as the sausage, ground beef, and parmesan with the other stated recipe. I was expecting the sauce to be amazing due to reviews, but really I like using the tomato soup better and it is less work.

Although I've been using allrecipes for over 10 years, I've never found a recipe that I've enjoyed so much that I would join just to rate it, until now! I am 50 plus years old and have been addicted to stuffed cabbage and peppers for most of my life. I have tried hundreds of different recipes. NONE have even come close to this one! My search for the perfect stuffed cabbage or pepper is over! I will never use another recipe. I'm actually getting ready at this very moment to use the filling minus the rice to make homemade ravioli. Thank You Chef John for such a PHENOMINAL RECIPE!
We made a double recipe of this, using 8 bell peppers (16 halves). The servings are very generous. I followed the recipe pretty well though I did use less of the cheese as I didn't feel like opening another bag. It got rave reviews from everyone. I loved it, my husband loved it, and the kids loved it. The green peppers and bright red sauce make for pretty contrast, and the savory flavor is wonderful. We had quite a lot left over and the leftovers taste just as good. I would highly recommend making a huge batch, and freezing some. It's cheaper and tastes better than the boxed frozen stuffed peppers.
I made half of the filling mixture for this recipe and it was plenty for three smallish green peppers (6 halves). I prepared these early in the day, covered and refrigerated them. I omitted the pork sausage and used fresh tomatoes. The recipe is confusing because it instructs you to stir the rice and parmesan into the meat mixture. Then later instructs you to sprinkle the remaining parmesan (what remaining parmesan?) over the top. So not knowing how much to put where, I just winged it and used 2 T. in the meat mixture and sprinkled more on top after baking. I baked these covered for 45 minutes and uncovered for 15 more minutes and my peppers were still crisp tender. I wouldn't have wanted to bake them any longer. This was good and the hint of balsamic vinegar was a nice addition.
Probably the best peppers I have EVER eaten! They were fantastic!
I did change it up just a bit because of what I had on hand. I had a 2 pound package of 93% fat free ground beef, so I skipped the sausage. To
mock a spicy sausage flavor, I added some fennel seed, pepper flakes and ground sage to the meat. I used brown rice instead of white rice. For the diced tomatoes I used rotel style tomatoes and drained them. I didn't have any parmesan cheese so what was I going to do? Light bulb moment... those pizza parmesan packets they give you when you order pizza! I have a ton of them so I added about 12 packets of that to the meat. I didn't add the cheese on top until the last 20 minutes and I ended up using mozzarella on top. Served it with some whole grain spaghetti that was tossed with onion, garlic and pepper. TOTALLY delish! I am SO full and I am fighting the urge to go munch on more... the sauce was great too!
These are truly the best stuffed peppers I have ever eaten! I made them twice in one week because we couldn't get enough of them.
I thought this recipe was great. My family was only so-so about it but they don't care for stuffed peppers at all. The only complaint I have about the recipe is that made as is, you have way too much filling or not enough peppers. I used 4 very large bell peppers and still had a ton of filling left over. I even over over stuffed mine and had extra. I could have easily stuffed 3-4 more peppers with the filling. I just cooked the extra filling along with the peppers in the sauce. Thank you for a very flavorful new spin on the old stuffed pepper!

BY MICHAEL WALTON firstname.lastname@example.com
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — Owen Williamson is the third person to drown at Grand Traverse County's Twin Lakes Park since 2010, and one county official said she raised concerns about safety there after a previous death.
Williamson, 17, drowned at the park off North Long Lake Road on May 31 while swimming with friends.
Nicholas Lawrence Wayne Cooper, 17, of Maple City, drowned there in 2010 attempting to swim from a beach to another shore, and Daniel Edward Doherty, 19, of Traverse City, drowned in 2011 while searching for rocks in the lake.
Grand Traverse County Commissioner Christine Maxbauer said she went to the beach in 2011 following Doherty's death and asked parents about safety at the public park. Many expressed concerns about a steep and unexpected drop off near shallow waters frequented by swimmers.
"They said 'Mark the drop-off, mark the swim area, give us a fighting chance,'" Maxbauer said.
Maxbauer said she asked Grand Traverse County Parks and Recreation Director Jason Jones about marking the swimming area, but nothing was done. She next contacted then-County Administrator Dennis Aloia with her concerns, and she said buoys were in place the next day.
Jones said Michigan Municipal Risk Management Authority, a public entity self-insurance pool that serves as the parks department's risk management association, advised county officials to only post a warning sign near the lake.
"We have to identify there is no one on duty," Jones said. "It is swim at your own risk."
Jones said his department ropes off a swimming area and posts lifeguards when youth camps visit the park as required by state law. He said the county never prepared any buoys for the water after drownings during his tenure with the department. Maxbauer disputes that statement.
Jones could not be reached for additional comment, but previously said county officials are reviewing all three drownings and their park safety procedures.
"To ensure that no other drownings take place at Twin Lakes, or any of our other parks for that matter," Jones said.
Patrick Reed fished at Twin Lakes Park this week and said he's swam there his entire life. He described the water as "pretty cold" and said "it gets deep quick."
Reed estimated the lake bottom drops off to a depth where most people cannot stand at about 12 to 15 feet offshore.
"The only shallow part is what you can see here," Reed said as he pointed to the visible sandy bottom directly in front of the park's beach area.
North Twin Lake is 67-feet deep at its deepest point, according to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources.

The People's Choice Awards went down last night in LA and while we of course need to talk about the big winners, we must first focus on what award really stole the show. I'm talking about Taylor Swift winning for best revenge outfit. If there was any doubt that Harry Styles and Taylor Swift were done for good, Swift quickly put all thoughts of reconciliation to rest.
Known for her puffy prom dresses and fairytale gowns on the red carpet, Swift did a 180 with her wardrobe, which included giving a 180 degree view of her chest. These are two words I never thought I'd say in a sentence about Taylor Swift: side boob.
In conclusion, they are never, ever getting back together and Swift is getting the ultimate revenge by looking. Like. That. Dang gurl. Work it out.

PORTLAND – An armed restaurant robber was on the loose Monday after hitting a café in the Montavilla neighborhood Sunday morning.
Portland police said officers responded to the report of robbery alarm around 10 a.m. at the Ha Long Cafe, located at 8435 Southeast Division Street.
As officers were still en route, they received additional information that the restaurant had just been robbed at gunpoint and the gunman fled on foot into the neighborhood. The victim said that the suspect entered the business, armed with a handgun, and demanded that the victim, a restaurant employee, to get down on the ground, according to police.
The suspect then went behind the counter and retrieved an undisclosed amount of money and fled.

After trying most of the products from AtLarge i am ready to give a review.
Speed of delivery is unbelivable i have never waited more than two days for an order. Another great fact is that when i had questions i just PM Chris and was responded to within an hour or two at most.
Nitrean= very impressed with the choc flavor and the easy mixibilty of the product. I used to use Eclipse for my whey but since getting Nitrean i will only get from here.
Creatine=This is the only company that i have ever ordered Creatine from so i cannot compare it to others. But what i have always read was how hard Creatine is to mix and get down. But i have no problem with this product.
Opticen=My wife uses this product every morning for an MRP. She is always running late so this is her way of making up time. She throws it in a blender w/ a banana and two tabl of natty peanutbutter and she is full till lunch.
So i must say thumbs up all
Thanks for the review and I am glad you are happy with the products!
We appreciate your orders, thanks!

Would you let some one buy your meal ?
Just curious if after you had just finished a meal a citizen came up & thanked you for all you do then offerd to pay the bill would you accept ?Please stay safe in all you do, also know I pray for each of you daily. Thank you for all you do. On Twitter at
03-05-06, 05:21 PM #2FishTail Guest
No. It just doesn't feel right. Why pick me out to thank cops in general? I'd ask them to donate the cost of the meal to a police charity.

only if its fish and chips lolYorkshire born and bred
People here dont give you the option. If theyre gonna pay for it, its already done by the time you get to the register.Do you want me to get naked and start the revolution?
As nice as a gesture that it is, what happens if some time down the road you pull that citizen over for say driving under the influence, or show up at his house for a domestic? I would not want to be in a position where I feel like I owe it to the guy just because he paid my bill at some point in time. I would not feel very professional, nor would it seem ethical..in my opinion that is.
Is that a banana in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?????
I wouldnt feel shit but happiness at taking them to jail. I can not be bought, and I despise anyone who thinks otherwise. I never ever ask for free shit when people know I'm a cop(if i'm off duty in civies and noone knows me, I ask for free shit all the time ). I always have cash/credit out and ready to pay at the register. If someone's already gotten it, then Ill put the equivalent into whatever charity fund is sitting there. And always, always tip the shit out of the waitress.
Not much you can do if someone beats you to the check. If they expect quid pro quo.... fuck 'em.Do you want me to get naked and start the revolution?
03-05-06, 09:20 PM #7katiemh Guest
Nope... but if they were cute and wanted to take me out after work...
just kidding.
About a month after 9/11, I was standing in line to pay my bill when the guy behind me struck up a conversation and before I could say licketysplit, he snatched the bill out of my hands and said "I'll take care of this. Thanks." I didn't argue with him.

I agree with most of the above and would rather Thank them and then say, 'No Thank you!' Most of the areas and ppl we work amongst are definitely NOT the type to pay the bill but some restaurants have a policy of discounts or free meals and those I ONLY go once a week or less as to NOT abuse the privilege. VERY FEW ever give discounts or freebies anymore as compared to many years ago when you couldn't go into a restaurant and try to pay for them, then they would have been offended. In the early 70s while patrolling my beat on Xmas I had everything from fruit baskets, hams, turkeys, cash, booze and even furniture neatly placed into my police car when parked at the curb but I NEVER walked out with any gratuity. In those days, we had GREAT christmas's !! You all take care and be safe !!

Journal Sentinel TV and film critic Duane Dudek looks at life on the small and big screen, and some of the cool stuff on both.
Public Enemies Premiere & Party
The public finally got to meet "Public Enemies," at a showing in Chicago Thursday.
The storm that rumbled through the city early this morning was a pretty good metaphor for the hubbub that surrounded the screening just hours before at the red carpet premiere. The screening, at the AMC River East multiplex in the Navy Pier area, was introduced by director Michael Mann, who said it was the first time an audience had seen the film, shot partially in Wisconsin and starring Johnny Depp as John Dillinger.
Depp and co-star Marion Cotillard briefly greeted the crowd, and seemed to have a pretty good rapport as they kibbitzed with each other before the screening. Christian Bale was also in attendance.
Reviews of the film are embargoed until July 1, when it will debut in theaters nationally.
But the closing credits include thanks to the state of Wisconsin, Lt. Governor Barbara Lawton, former Columbus Mayor Nancy Osterhaus, and the Milwaukee County Historical Society museum. Scenes were also shot at the state capitol building in Madison. And local actor John Kishline is the first person killed in the film.
To get to the theater, audience members had to run a gantlet of fans and gawkers waiting for the cast to walk the carpet.
A reporter for the TV show "Extra," who conducted a red-carpet interview of Depp, said the actor told him he would not stay for the showing because he does not like to watch himself on screen.
After the screening, the audience strolled to the nearby River East Art Center for a post-screening reception, where a disc jockey spun Four Tops and Michael Jackson songs and the crowd munched on cheesy red potatoes, crab-stuffed mushroom caps and prime rib.
Mann, a Chicago native, strolled the room, greeting people and posing for pictures. Bale and Cotillard were in attendance, as was a well-tanned Dennis Farina, a Chicago actor who starred in Mann's TV series "Crime Story."
Depp, alas, was not spotted. And the corner tables reserved in his name were empty.

Here's a look at the Vikings' Players of the Week from their 29-20 loss to the Jets on Monday night:
Offense: Percy Harvin
Harvin caught two TD passes and made some exceptional plays to keep his team in the game. Clearly, he benefited from Randy Moss' arrival and started abusing a Jets secondary that often had CBs Darrelle Revis and Kyle Wilson covering him. Harvin's 34-yard catch-and-run got the Vikings' scoring going, and his toe-tapping 11-yard TD in the fourth quarter gave the Vikings a chance to win. QB Brett Favre made some big plays in the second half, but Harvin was outstanding individually.
Defense: Ray Edwards
Edwards had seven tackles and 1½ sacks. One of those tackles was made in the backfield, taking down LaDainian Tomlinson. Edwards also added a few pressures and hits on Jets QB Mark Sanchez. The sacks accounted for 14 lost yards, too. That said, Edwards was out of position on the Shonn Greene TD run, but the Vikings' defense mostly did a good job holding the Jets to field goals and keeping the Vikings in the game.
Special teams: Harvin and Chris Kluwe (tie)
It's a shared award between Harvin and P Chris Kluwe. Harvin averaged 25 yards on seven kickoff returns, including a 44-yarder that he almost broke for a score. And Kluwe netted 40.4 yards on seven punts, with a 59-yard bomb. The Jets' punt returners had only 14 return yards, with a long return of seven.

666 Broadway - 7th Floor
New York, NY
The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) was co-founded in November 1966 by the radical attorneys Morton Stavis, Ben Smith, Arthur Kinoy, and William Kunstler, longtime members of the Communist and radical left. All four were well known for their pro-Castro politics. Kunstler, for instance, once said: "The people of Cuba are a hell of a lot better off now [under Castro] than they were under [Fulgencio] Batista when American gangsters ran the island." Attorneys Victor Rabinowitz and Leonard Boudin (father of Weather Underground terrorist Kathy Boudin) were both part of CCR and its ally, the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee, and they actually provided legal representation for the Castro government. According to a New York Times report:
"The two lawyers [Rabinowitz and Boudin] won the new revolutionary government of Cuba as a client over a poolside chess game with Che Guevara at Havana's Hotel Riviera in 1960 ... Guevara won, then gave them Cuba's business.
"It quickly provided considerable work. The United States banned Cuban sugar imports, and Cuba retaliated by nationalizing American corporate holdings. This led Mr. Rabinowitz to defend Cuba's position in the case of Banco Nacional de Cuba v. Sabbatino before the United States Supreme Court in 1963."
David Horowitz and Peter Collier, in their book Destructive Generation, state that all four CCR founders "had long histories of public support for communist causes," and that by "representing such paramilitary groups as the Baader-Meinhof gang and the Black Liberation Army," they "had attempted to justify terrorist acts and criminal violence by indicting America and its democratic allies as partners in a system of economic oppression and social injustice."
Another significant figure in CCR's early history was Peter Weiss, who served a stint as the organization's vice president during the 1960s.
CCR characterizes itself as an organization that "uses litigation proactively to advance the law in a positive direction, to guarantee the rights of those with the fewest protections and least access to legal resources." In pursuit of these ends, CCR only defends clients whose political views it supports, among the more notable of whom have been Tom Hayden, the Black Liberation Movement, the Black Panther Party, the Catonsville Nine, the Chicago Seven (in a case handled by Kunstler and co-counsel Leonard Weinglass), the Communist Party, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, Students for a Democratic Society, and Women's Strike for Peace. The organization also took up the cause of Leonard Peltier, an American Indian rights activist who was convicted of murdering two FBI agents in 1975, a crime for which he is currently serving a life sentence in prison.
CCR identifies its major issues as follows:
Vis a vis international matters, CCR has argued in court that: U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War was unconstitutional and criminal; America's bombing of North Vietnam was illegal; the Nuremberg war crimes laws should have been applied to Americans involved in the Vietnam War; the American military should have been restrained from fighting in Cambodia; and the U.S. Navy should not be permitted to use the Puerto Rican island of Vieques for bombing exercises. In addition, the Center attacked America's anti-Communist foreign policies concerning El Salvador, Nicaragua, Chile, Cuba, and elsewhere in Central and South America.
CCR is a core member of the open borders lobby, which seeks to effectively initiate an era of mass, unchecked immigration. In 2002 the Center filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of illegal alien detainees, seeking punitive damages and a declaratory judgment that the detentions were unconstitutional and violated customary international law.
Since 9/11, CCR has focused its efforts heavily on reining in the U.S. government's newly implemented anti-terrorism measures, which the Center depicts as having "seriously undermined civil liberties, the checks and balances that are essential to the structure of our democratic government, and indeed, democracy itself." "Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of the government's actions," says CCR, "has been its attack on the Bill of Rights, the very cornerstone of our American democracy."
When law-enforcement agencies attempted, in the wake of 9/11, to conduct voluntary interviews with several thousand Middle Eastern men who were in the United States on temporary visas, CCR denounced such "racial profiling"; it issued this same complaint in response to the government's detention of hundreds of non-citizens from the Middle East for possible terrorist connections. When Attorney General Ashcroft warned in 2002 that visa violators would henceforth be arrested, CCR characterized his comments as "chilling." When new regulations permitted the FBI, CIA, and INS to share information about possible terrorist plots with one another, CCR lamented such assaults on "our privacy."
CCR's views on the political and psychological roots of anti-American terrorism were summarized in March 2002 by the organization's President, Michael Ratner, who said: "If the U.S. government truly wants its people to be safer and wants terrorist threats to diminish, it must make fundamental changes in its foreign policies ... particularly its unqualified support for Israel, and its embargo of Iraq, its bombing of Afghanistan, and its actions in Saudi Arabia. [These] continue to anger people throughout the region, and to fertilize the ground where terrorists of the future will take root." Condemning America's post-9/11 "aggression" against Afghanistan, Ratner suggested that as an alternative to war, the U.S. ought to "treat the attacks on September 11 as a crime against humanity, establish a UN tribunal, extradite the suspects, or if that fails, capture them with a UN force, and try them."
CCR was a signatory to a March 17, 2003 letter exhorting members of the U.S. Congress to oppose the Domestic Security Enhancement Act, also known as "Patriot Act II," which was then under consideration. The letter asserted that the new legislation "fail[ed] to respect our time-honored liberties," and "contain[ed] a multitude of new and sweeping law enforcement and intelligence gathering powers … that would severely dilute, if not undermine, many basic constitutional rights." In addition, CCR supports the California-based Coalition for Civil Liberties, which tries to influence city councils to pass resolutions creating "Civil Liberties Safe Zones"; that is, to be non-compliant with the provisions of the Patriot Act.
In April 2002 CCR filed a class action suit, Turkmen v. Ashcroft, seeking damages on behalf of illegal aliens and non-citizens who had been picked up for questioning by U.S. authorities in the immediate post-9/11 period. The suit alleged "that the INS arrested this group on the pretext of minor immigration violations and secretly detained them for the weeks and months the FBI took to clear them of terrorism, in violation of the U.S. Constitution and international human rights law." The Turkmen case won CCR much publicity and, consequently, assistance from other law firms that had previously been fearful of taking cases involving 9/11 suspects.
After the Turkmen filing, CCR became directly involved in other major suits filed on behalf of terror suspects. These included, most notably, Habib v. Bush and Rasul v. Bush, both of which challenged the Bush Administration's contention that because the Guantanamo prison camp is located outside of U.S. jurisdiction, its inhabitants are not entitled to access American courts. CCR later combined both cases under Rasul v. Bush and won an important ruling in that case (on June 28, 2004), which ultimately paved the way for CCR to gain direct access to the Guantanamo detainees.
In July 2005, CCR joined a coalition "including individuals and organizations ranging from Eve Ensler, Gloria Steinem, Not In Our Name, Code Pink, the Culture Project, [and] United For Peace and Justice" -- who together demanded the closure of the Guantánamo Bay prison camp and an "immediate independent investigation into the widespread allegations of abuse taking place there."
CCR has been a strong supporter of radical attorney Lynne Stewart, who in February 2005 was convicted on charges that she had illegally "facilitated and concealed communications" between her client, the incarcerated "blind sheik" Omar Abdel Rahman, and members of his Egyptian terrorist organization, the Islamic Group, which has ties to al Qaeda. CCR called Stewart's indictment in 2004 "an attack on attorneys who defend controversial figures, and an attempt to deprive these clients of the zealous representation that may be required."
In March 2005, CCR joined with the parents of deceased anti-Israel activist Rachel Corrie (the International Solidarity Movement volunteer who was accidentally crushed to death while trying to obstruct the path of a bulldozer that was engaged in anti-terror operations by Israeli Defense Force soldiers in Gaza) in filing a federal lawsuit against Caterpillar Inc., the Illinois-based manufacturer of the bulldozers used for such purposes by the IDF. Arguing that Caterpillar had violated international and state laws by providing the IDF with this machinery, CCR sued the company, marking the first time that American citizens had filed suit against a U.S. corporation for alleged misdeeds in a foreign country.
On January 17, 2006, CCR filed a lawsuit against President George W. Bush, the head of the National Security Agency (NSA), and the heads of the other major security agencies, "challenging NSA's surveillance of persons within the United States." (The NSA program targeted communications between persons in the United States and persons abroad where one party was suspected of having connections to terrorism.)
Characterizing President Bush as a political leader who is "out of control" and engaged in the "reckless abuse of power," CCR in 2006 produced a book titled Articles of Impeachment Against George W. Bush. This screed accused Bush of "illegally spying on U.S. citizens, lying to the American people about the Iraq war, seizing undue executive power, and sending people to be tortured overseas." CCR exhorted likeminded people to sign its online impeachment petition.
In November 2006, CCR filed a criminal complaint requesting "an investigation and, ultimately, a criminal prosecution that will look into the responsibility of high-ranking U.S. officials for authorizing war crimes in the context of the so-called 'War on Terror.'" The defendants in the case included former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former CIA Director George Tenet, and former Chief White House Counsel (and current Attorney General) Alberto R. Gonzales. The complaint was brought on behalf of 12 Iraqi citizens who were held at Abu Ghraib prison and one Guantánamo detainee -- all of whom were, according to CCR, tortured by American authorities.
In December 2006, CCR and the Humanitarian Law Project (HLP) jointly petitioned a federal judge to dismiss many of the charges brought against the Hamas-linked organization Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, which in 2001 was shut down by the U.S. government because of its terrorist ties. Defense attorneys argued that Executive Order 13224, the statute under which HLF was named as a financier of terrorism, is overly broad.
In 2010, CCR and the American Civil Liberties Union jointly filed a lawsuit seeking to end a U.S. government program authorizing the killing of accused terrorists like the Muslim cleric (of Yemeni descent) Anwar al-Awlaki, a dual citizen of the United States and Yemen. (The lawsuit was filed on behalf of Awlaki's father.) An al Qaeda "regional commander," the younger Awlaki is known to have called for Muslims worldwide to wage jihad against America and the West. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers (two of whom he met with privately) and Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan (with whom he communicated regularly, and whose deadly 2009 shooting rampage he praised). Moreover, "Christmas Day bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab identified al-Awlaki was one of his al Qaeda trainers and spiritual advisers. In July 2010, Awlaki published an article in al Qaeda's English-language magazine, Inspire, calling for Muslims to assassinate several people, including a young female cartoonist in Seattle and the novelist Salman Rushdie.
In April 2010, after the New York Times had published of excerpts from a trove of WikiLeaks-obtained documents identifying former Guantanamo Bay detainees who had allegedly returned to jihadism following their release, CCR issued a press release depicting onetime detainee (and CCR client) Abu Sufian bin Qumu -- one of those named in the documents -- as a harmless individual who was actually pro-American. Condemning the Times for its "unfiltered recycling of out-of-date and long-discredited DOD [Department of Defense] claims," CCR complained that Qumu had been wrongly "listed as a recidivist, when in fact he was jailed on his return to Libya and is now allegedly fighting with the U.S.-supported rebels ..." But on September 11, 2012, Qumu, whose freedom CCR had helped secure five years earlier, led the deadly terrorist attacks that killed four Americans (including Ambassador Chris Stevens) at the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, Libya.
A member organization of the Abolition 2000 and United For Peace and Justice anti-war coalitions, CCR is supported, in part, by donations from the Ford Foundation, the JEHT Foundation, the New World Foundation, the Open Society Institute, the Public Welfare Foundation, the Samuel Rubin Foundation, the Scherman Foundation, the Stewart R. Mott Charitable Trust, the Tides Foundation, and the Vanguard Public Foundation.

Keep New Albany Clean and Green wants to install 82 planters in the city's downtown business district at no cost to the public.
During the New Albany Board of Public Works and Safety meeting Tuesday, Keep New Albany Clean and Green Vice President Jerry Finn said the organization is looking at a nine block area of downtown to place the planters.
"We think it will be a really nice addition for the bicentennial," Finn said, as New Albany will celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2013.
The planters will feature pansies and winter kale in the fall, and an array of flowers in the spring and summer, Finn said. The nonprofit organization has raised funds to foot the cost of the planters and is getting a good rate for the boxes from Grant Line Garden Center, Finn continued.
Though there would be no cost to taxpayers, the organization needs the city's approval since the planters would be located on public property. Finn added Keep New Albany Clean and Green would also like to plant flowers around the bump-outs and traffic islands downtown.
"We're hoping downtown merchants will get involved in this and others as well," Finn said in regards to the maintenance of the planters.
The board elected to table the request until city officials could review where the planters will be located. The New Albany Tree Board is expected to examine the plan as well.
Finn said Keep New Albany Clean and Green is planning a beautification day in November, and would like to have the planters installed to coincide with the event.
He offered downtown Louisville as an example of how flowers and other vegetation can spruce up the appearance of a city.
"We think it's really going to dress up downtown," Finn said.

Santa Rosa race-car crash victim remembered as beloved, well-mannered basketball ace
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 9:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 9:43 a.m.
A 14-year-old Santa Rosa middle school student who was killed at the Marysville Speedway when his cousin's car flew off the track was an avid basketball player and part of an extended racing family.
Marcus Johnson was a powerhouse on the eighth-grade basketball team at Rincon Valley Middle School and known for working hard on the court and in the classroom, Principal Matthew Marshall said.
He was honored Sunday evening at a vigil held at the school.
"His two big passions were basketball and racing. It's just terribly tragic," Marshall said.
Johnson had been watching his cousin, Chase Johnson, 17, of Penngrove do warm-up laps at the Marysville Speedway at about 6 p.m. Saturday when his cousin's winged sprint car left the track, according to the Yuba County Sheriff's Department.
Chase Johnson's car was entering its first turn on the quarter-mile banked clay oval when the car instead careened forward, crashing into a concrete barrier where Marcus Johnson and another bystander, Dale Richard Wondergem Jr., 68, of Grass Valley, had been sitting, according to the Sheriff's Department and witness accounts.
Wondergem died at the scene. Marcus Johnson died at Rideout Hospital in Marysville, sheriff's officials said.
"Their whole world is shattered, and they're just great people," said Marshall of Marcus' parents, Rob and Gina Johnson.
Johnson's death also rocked his school, where about 200 people gathered in the courtyard at the Badger Road campus with candles, posters and memories. Teens stood arm-in-arm. Parents hugged children close.
The group stood in near silence as small groups walked up to an array of photographs, flowers, balloons, candles and a basketball gathered on a table.
A poster read: "We love you No. 18," referring to Johnson's number on the team.
The quiet was broken when Johnson's family arrived, surrounding his parents and his younger brother, Hayden, a fourth-grader. As they walked up to the group, Marcus' mother, Gina, sobbed and was quickly embraced by many.
Marshall, the principal, called everyone to surround the memorial table and share memories. Children and adults told stories about how Johnson carried books for a friend between classes, had a constant smile and effortlessly set an example when leaving a classroom by always saying goodbye and thanking the teacher by name.
"Marcus was an incredibly well-loved young man," Marshall said to the group, asking that they live by his example. "He was honest, caring and genuine."
The vigil followed an impromptu ceremony earlier in the day of about 40 students, led by his friends from the basketball team. The teens gathered with about a dozen adults mid-day at Rincon Valley Community Park and wrote notes and messages on balloons they released in honor of their friend. The teens wrote messages on the balloons or tied notes to the strings.
"I said, you were always fun to be around and you were always fun to play basketball with," said Alex Eagle, 13, one of Marcus Johnson's closest friends and son of Rincon Valley Middle School teacher and basketball coach Patrick Eagle. "He was never mean."
They released the balloons at 2:24 p.m. to symbolize Marcus Johnson's love of basketball and, in particular, basketball player Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers, who wears the number 24 jersey.
Marcus Johnson was remarkably polite and respectful, and a dream to coach, Eagle said.
"He was always a team player, very coachable. He listened and would always try to be doing the right thing," Eagle said.
He loved sprint car racing, and was an integral part of a family racing tradition with strong ties to the Petaluma Speedway.
On Saturday, Marcus Johnson was at the California Sprint Car Civil War Series on the opening day of the Marysville Speedway season.
Chase Johnson and five or six other drivers were doing "hot laps" as a warm-up before the start of a race when his car careened off the track.
Chase Johnson, Marcus' cousin, is a senior at Petaluma High School and a fourth-generation race car driver. He has been racing for three years at the Petaluma Speedway, where he has won multiple races and was last year's series champion. His father, grandfather and great-grandfather were also champion drivers in Petaluma, where the family owns a muffler shop, said Ron Lingron, the track announcer at Petaluma Speedway.
"They're the first family of the Petaluma Speedway," Lingron said Sunday. "There's not a better kid you're going to find in the racing community than Chase Johnson. To have something like this put around his neck is a tragedy."
Wondergem owned one of the other race cars, sheriff's officials said.
The Sheriff's Department is investigating whether Marcus Johnson should have been present in the pit area where crew members gather. As part of the review, they will determine whether he was an official member of Chase Johnson's "pit crew." Chase Johnson's website lists the younger cousin as a member of the crew.

Carol-Shea Porter: It will take compromise and courage to solve sequester impasse
On Tuesday, I went to the floor of the House of Representatives to say we should do more than just one simple vote a day (Tuesday's only real vote was to develop an academic competition, Monday's was to rename a flight facility), and that we really needed to work on the biggest issue - a sequester compromise.
Suddenly, Republican Speaker John Boehner walked in, repeated his comments about how the House had already passed two bills last Congress to avert the sequester, blamed the Democrats for holding out for a compromise bill, and departed.
While I was there to talk about a compromise to avoid the sequester, the Speaker, the only one who actually can make that happen in the House, basically told anyone watching CSPAN that he had already done his part, that he was finished.
So goes a typical day in Washington. A few insults are hurled at the Senate and around the House, and everyone goes home, a day's work left undone. No debate on jobs. No debate on fair and careful deficit reduction. No legislative solutions offered, none voted upon. And when the sequester hits if Congress does not compromise, we will see the consequences - jobs lost in New Hampshire and across America, many Americans finding it even harder to get by.
Remember the "jobs, jobs, jobs" campaign chant? I can't even hear a whisper of the word now in the House, because everyone is yelling so loudly about the sequester. Is there a path to a solution here? I do believe there is, but it will call for compromise and courage.
Both parties agree the debt is too large. We may not agree on what spending was necessary, but we all agree that going forward, we need to reduce the debt. Since Congress already passed a first round of cuts, amounting to $1.5 trillion in discretionary cuts (which caused the economy to contract last quarter), we should now compromise and limit and slow down a second round, so we can absorb it. We should scrutinize and reduce spending where appropriate, but do it gradually, so we do not shock the economy, increase joblessness, and slow down our recovery. The sequester will cut $85 billion this year, and $1.2 trillion over 10 years. That is too severe for a fragile economy.
The sequester will hurt both defense and domestic programs. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says the sequester will reduce economic growth in 2013 by one-third. These cuts will make us lose about a million jobs, force federal workers to take furloughs and lose 20 percent of their pay, and hack services that range from Meals on Wheels to school aid, from work at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to work in the National Guard. Hospitals will suffer, nonprofits will struggle, and small and large businesses will feel the pain also, when people are laid off and cannot spend. Everyone will feel the pain eventually because the sequester calls for the axe to fall evenly across the federal government, half the cuts coming from defense and half coming from domestic programs. The only group that is happy about this is the group that largely caused this, the tea party. As the Washington Post reported on Tuesday, "Although Democratic and Republican leaders are pointing fingers, the tea party and its allies are happily accepting credit for the cuts."
While I believe that many members from both parties would like to work this out, Speaker Boehner and his leadership team control the House. They alone decide what bills will be put on the floor for a vote. To date, they have refused to allow votes on any plans to avert the sequester. They wouldn't even change the schedule so Congress can at least be in session today, the day the sequester hits. We cannot compromise if we aren't there, and we can't vote on a compromise if no compromise bills are brought to the floor for a debate and a vote.
Most Americans want Congress to work together. They want us to reduce costs and find revenue by stopping unnecessary subsidies. They want us to get the job done, but most members of Congress can only do what they are doing - sit, wait, and wonder why we can't have those debates and those votes. Debates and votes require courage and compromise. Maybe that's why we aren't having any, but Americans have a right to demand it.

That is beside the point. What Huseng is asserting and what you are asserting are qualitatively different questions - that is the point.
I don't see it. The only position I have held throughout is identical to to Huseng's (at the outset.) To wit, that Buddha included Indra in his world view. There is no reason to paint Buddha as a follower of Indra, the arguments do not require it and if I have given you that impression it was unintentional.
Isn't Sakra depicted as a mortal being who will die?
Yup, all occupants of all six samsaric realms have that problem. You, me, dogs, cats and various godlike occupants of the two realms above us.

I agree with Tina that citizens must pay close attention to their public officials and that robust, public, fact-based discussion generally leads to best outcomes.
Ruth consulted the Corporation Counsel on recusal. She was advised that she need not recuse, but should disclose the relationship between C.H.O.P. and Renaissance, which is informal and does not involve exchange of funds. Jan Peek will not be, and never was considering, sharing the Corporate Drive building with Renaissance. C.H.O.P.'s only relationship with Mr. Miller, the former owner of 3 Corporate Drive, is that he is the owner of the building in which C.H.O.P. rents one floor, at market rates. Appearance is a factor to consider, but as in many legal issues, one must look at the situation from the point of view of a rational and prudent person would do/think. I imagine the corporation counsel looked at all the facts and decided no rational and prudent person would think there was a conflict.
The skateboard park is in a separate industrial park on the other side of Highland Ave, not "right next door."
What definition there is for 'professional office" can certainly include medical offices. According to the search engine provided with the code on the city website, the word "medical" appears nowhere in the code. The code draws no line between medical office and clinic. Professional offices are permitted in the C2 and C3 commercial districts as well as the M1, 2, 2A, and 3 industrial districts. Given the lack of clear definitions in the code, one could argue that Hudson River Health Care, and possibly all private medical practices have no more or less right to be located in Peekskill than the methadone clinic. As I understand it, the fundamental disagreement between the corporation counsel and the mayor's attorney is how to interpret this aspect of the code. That is why I expressed the hope that the mayor will take this issue to court, which is the appropriate place to settle such disagreements.
It's too bad that disagreements with the EAF were not forwarded to the Planning Commission and the Planning Department during the public comment period, which did not end until 10 Oct. It may still be useful to send any thoughts on this aspect of the application to Mayor Foster and the Common Counsel. I urge Tina to do so.
As I stated, the one thing I think we can all agree on is that the best possible scenario is the clinic staying in their little building on the hospital campus (which, by the way, is in Cortlandt, adjacent to a veterinarian practice and very near a nice residential neighborhood). Unfortunately, that seems not to be an option, as the hospital's spokesman has made quite clear ("The Journal News," 24 July, page 7A).
Ruth received legal guidance that commission members can be liable for "punitive damages" if they overturned their original decision in the face of the corporation counsel's opinion that the clinic was an as of right use. Our city's insurance does not cover punitive damages against city officers.
My Patch profile has always stated that I sit on Peekskill's Zoning Board of Appeals. This matter never appeared before the ZBA, and is highly unlikely ever to appear before us, as the ZBA's jurisdiction is quite narrowly defined (see my August post http://peekskill.patch.com/blog_posts/get-the-facts-before-you-complain for a more detailed discussion of the ZBA's powers and duties).
I'm thinking that it's time to let the courts look at this and decide which lawyers are correct. I assume, and certainly hope, that the city will soon file an Article 78, which is an inexpensive way to pursue an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision. It seems like the only way to get some clarity on this difficult and controversial issue.

My Email Digests
Here's a YouTube video that has been making the rounds on the e-mail circuits and was also linked on several blog sites:
It's a pretty impressive talk given by Dr. Terry Wahls, a female physician who was struck down by multiple sclerosis, a relentless, progressive neurodegenerative disease that is often terminal. In the video, Dr. Wahls describes how she was able to reverse her condition by completely restructuring her diet to "feed" her mitochondria. Her sole intent in giving the talk is to serve as the "canary in the coal mine" and alert us all to the dangers of the modern diet. Take special note of what she recommends removing from one's diet. The doctor's gradual recovery is quite amazing and, instead of being confined to a wheelchair as she once was, she is now fully mobile and completely free of the debilitating symptoms associated with MS. After watching the video, perhaps you might rethink the concept of going on a "modern day hunter-gatherer diet" yourself. I am (and have been) gradually heading in that direction but felt hampered somewhat by the limited number of carbs that I permit myself. It may be necessary to simply bite the bullet and consider using a larger dose of insulin to accommodate an increase in beneficial vegetable-based carbs (and that definitely does not include grains, whole or otherwise). Highly recommended viewing (if you do watch this video or have already viewed it, I would like to get your comments).
Please read the user comments that follow the Fathead book review; especially the one by Cyndi, located approximately 3/4ths of the way down the page (excerpted here):
I am a 56 year old diabetic. I am not and never have been overweight. I have a severe history of hypothyroidism, and elevated cholesterol, since early childhood. I have spent years being a "good" patient - doing everything the doctors (Endocrinologist and internist) and the dietitian advised. Every time I followed their advice or the eating plan of the ADA I would have raging glucose and have to increase my insulin ... I found, through trial and error, over many years that grain products: bread, cake, cookies, muffins, rolls, biscuits, crackers of ANY kind (including the ones I found at "health food" stores) would spike my blood sugar and worsen all the above mentioned symptoms. I chose to modify my diet - My doctors and diet advisors take the credit for my slender frame and my well controlled glucose ... but, I do NOT do what they say ... I do what I MUST to be healthy. The doctors just need to catch up!
Good-golly-gosh, all this time I thought that I was the only one that didn't rigidly comply with "doctor's orders" but, like Cyndi, have enjoyed well-above-average results that have impressed my endo. If you haven't read Wheat Belly, please consider doing so. The health that you improve may be your own. It is available in four different formats: Adobe PDF, ePub (for the Nook, iPad, etc.), .amz/mobi (for Amazon's Kindle), and in audio format for those who prefer to listen instead of read. If you have already read the book, what are your thoughts on it?
None of my diabetic friends eats this way and almost no one on this web site, but it works for me. My body does not do well with any added meds.
My last A1C was 4.9%.
Is that wrong?
- Winston S. Churchill
I have an acute sensitivity to glucotoxins myself and suffered a number of relatively advanced symptoms when my A1c barely tipped the scales at 6.1. I have also had great difficulty getting my fasting BG down below 100 due to inflammation issues. For example, it was not uncommon for me to go to bed at 11 pm with a BG reading of 80-84 but wake up in the AM with a reading of 107 (I do not take a basal insulin). By experimenting, I discovered that my blood sugar level was reasonably stable until about 3 am (I took readings for several weeks when I awoke at approximately that hour to clear my bladder). For some reason, the dawn effect (if that's what it was) really surged my BG between 3 am and 6 am.
The endo thinks it may be due to some sort of inflammation in my system but cannot explain why I am reasonably stable between the hour of sleep and 3 am. It's much too early to draw any conclusions but since I eliminated ALL grains from my diet two weeks ago, I am now obtaining fasting BG readings in the 81-85 range for the past week (hasn't been that low for over three years). Will continue to monitor the situation and perhaps comment on this in a month or so (I could have gluten sensitivity markers that I was unaware of or it could be due to something else).
Take a look at these two videos and let me know what you think:
Unhealthy Whole Grains 1
Unhealthy Whole Grains 2
Both are by Dr. William Davis and sheds more light on his arguments about the potential danger that wheat poses to many of our fellow humans (but not necessarily everyone). Again, consuming grains has nothing to do with right or wrong. However, if one does have ongoing health issues, wheat could be a factor; perhaps a deciding one.
But I do not find this level of detailed propaganda helpful and doubt that many of us actually read it.
NutriJoy, I respect and acknowledge that you are extremely well informed about Diabetes but I also believe you posted somewhere that your are a medical professional. It almost seems like you are trying to promote your own agenda in your posts. The average member of a public message board is not going to understand or want to read all this information. KISS is something we all should remember when posting, along with compassion and understanding.
That being said, this is a public message board and you can post whatever you wish as long as it does not violate the Terms Of Service for the WebMD Communities. Any of us can simply choose to not read your posts.
No offense intended, just the opinion of someone what has a great deal of experience on internet message board.

From the authors' Introduction:
This article will describe these potential changes and the public policy implications of changing the rules of damages in animal law. After briefly describing the traditional rules of damages in tort law, an important predicate to understanding the current unsound impetus to change, this article will set forth the established law of damages with respect to pets and other animals. It will show how the movement to allow non-economic damages in pet cases assaults fundamental principles of animal law. It will also demonstrate several reasons why allowing non-economic damages in pet cases is unsound public policy. Next, this article will explain how allowing non-economic damages in pet cases, particularly in those involving mere negligence, harms veterinarians, manufacturers of pet medications, pet owners, and even pets themselves. Finally, it will then show that capping non-economic damages in pet suits is not a helpful compromise, but a dangerous misstep that is to be avoided
