Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare disorder that arises from tumors and ulcers in the digestive system. One or more tumors form in the pancreas or duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine). Not only can these tumors lead to ulcers, they can also be cancerous, and spread to the nearby lymph nodes or liver.
About one-quarter of people with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome have a genetic disorder called multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN 1). People with MEN 1 may have additional endocrine tumors in the brain and neck.

The Anniston pediatric nurse practitioner for years has warned his patients at Pediatrics Plus about the dangers of obesity, unhealthy eating habits and an exercise-less life. Even so, Thomas estimates that 40 to 50 percent of his 1,500 child patients are either overweight or obese.
Thomas is tired of just the talk, so on Oct. 1, he'll start a boot camp for kids — an exercise-intensive, 4-week program that will focus on teaching kids routines that involve a lot of jumping and high-intensity interval training.
"Telling them what to do — it gets them nowhere," Thomas said. "Let's all actually do it — I'll do it. The parents can come, too."
Thomas isn't the only local kids health specialist with plans to combat the trend toward overweight and obese children — a trend that's growing in Alabama, where 32.8 percent of high schoolers are overweight or obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Anniston Pediatrics' Dr. Lewis Doggett and nurse practitioner Linda White are in the midst of starting their own weight-loss clinic for kids. Their approach is different from the boot camp: The plans for the clinic hinge more on classroom-style sessions with a nutritionist, a dietitian and counseling using motivational interview techniques of open-ended questions and conversations.
Doggett had planned for that clinic to be under way by the end of August, but pulling all of the different components together has proved more difficult than he expected. Now, he's aiming to have the pilot program up and running in a month — around the same time Thomas' boot camp will start.
Both Thomas and Doggett said the existence of a variety of efforts to help local children make healthier choices is positive, constructive for the community.
"There's a place for both of them," Thomas said of his boot-camp and Anniston Pediatrics' clinic. He expressed optimism about the renewed focus by local politicians and schools on targeting obesity issues.
"We … are all striving for the same goals," Doggett said in an email.
About 80 people have signed up for the boot camp through Facebook, and Thomas hopes they'll commit to the full program, and not drop out after the first session or two.
The fact that parents and kids can participate for free may help out with that. Thomas and his wife, Emily, a personal trainer, will hold the hour-long classes two days per week after work on their own time. They're not going to worry about insurance reimbursement or charging families who want to participate.
"I'm going to front everything," Thomas said, although he noted the only boot camp cost will be the time he puts into it.
The base workouts don't require a lot of special equipment or space: Participants just need to show up with a towel and some water. The lawn at Pediatrics Plus' East Ninth Street location will be enough room if the groups are small. If more people show interest, Thomas said, he'll move the classes to a local park for more space to spread out.
The nurse practitioner hopes music and camaraderie will make the workouts fun, as will silly names he's come up with for the exercises — think "rocket jumps" for squat jumps and "granddaddy long legs" for a lateral, side-to-side jump.
Additionally, a local nutritionist and physical therapist affiliated with Regional Medical Center has volunteered to help with training and food education components included in each session.
People interested in the boot camp can contact Thomas at his office at 256-241-2671 or by searching for "Pediatrics Plus" on Facebook.

funny, how bad coaches seem to draw bad luck like an outhouse draws flies.
After practice today, Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley addressed the media regarding the indefinite suspension of starting receiver Da'Rick Rogers. While he refused to talk specifics about what Rogers did or what it would take for him to come back, he did make a few things clear:
* He stated that the staff's expectation is that Rogers will not return to the UT football team.
* He said there isn't one player on the UT team who cannot be replaced.
* He said the suspension came as a result of recent actions, implying that something happened this week to bring down Rogers. (Whether that means it was one failure or just a final straw is yet to be learned.)
* Dooley also stated that he did not know if Rogers is still on the Tennessee campus. He has not spoken to him since informing him of the suspension yesterday.
For a coach trying to save his job, this is bad news. Sure, from a team chemistry standpoint, it's entirely possible that Rogers' suspension/departure could unify a team that had grown weary of his me-first ways. That said, Dooley is entering what looks to be a make-or-break season and he's facing a team expected to challenge for the ACC title in his opener. He's got seven new assistants on his staff and a new 3-4 scheme on defense that's being installed.
Most folks taking a positive view of the Vols expected Tennessee to win games with an aerial attack led by a talented quarterback and three good receivers. Now one of those receivers appears to be out of the mix.
If Dooley finally had enough of Rogers and made the call on this, then he should get credit for doing so. Even if he gave Rogers' umpteen chances before finally pulling the trigger. But this looks to be a University decision, not a Dooley decision (as was the case with former star safety Janzen Jackson who was booted prior to last season because of repeated drug issues).
Either way — whether Dooley took a stand or UT forced his hand — losing one-fourth of the quartet expected to make the Vol attack fly must be difficult for the third-year coach to stomach.

This includes information about how you use and navigate our websites and applications, including which links you click on, which pages or content you view and for how long, and other similar information and statistics about your interactions with a Nestlé USA website or application (e.g., date and time of visit, which site you came from, favorite recipes and site activities, high game scores, etc.). This information is captured using automated technologies such as browser cookies, flash cookies, and web beacons, and may also be collected through the use of third party tracking services (such as Google Analytics) that collect data in aggregate (such as number of visits to a particular page, or the amount of time spent on a web site). We may also use these technologies, such as web beacons, to capture information about how users respond to certain email campaigns (e.g., time the email is opened, where user links to from the email, etc.). Website usage information may be linked to your personal contact information for web site personalization and marketing purposes.

We also partner with a third party ad network to either display advertising on our website or to manage our advertising on other sites. Our ad network partner uses cookies and web beacons to collect non-personally identifiable information about your activities on this and other websites to provide you targeted advertising based upon your interests. If you wish to not have this information used for the purpose of serving you targeted ads, you may opt-out by clicking here. Please note this does not opt you out of being served advertising.

Consumer feedback
This includes information that you voluntarily share with us about your experience in using our products and services, including our websites and applications. Examples may include unsolicited comments and suggestions, testimonials, or other questions or feedback related to our products. We typically collect this information in the form of consumer surveys, consumer panels, contact forms, "Ask the Expert" forms, and email correspondence.
Consumer-generated content
This refers to any content that you create and then share with us (and perhaps others) by uploading it to one of our websites or applications, including one of our Facebook sites. Examples may include photos, videos, personal stories, or other similar media or content. We may collect and publish consumer-generated content in connection with a variety of activities, including contests and other promotions, website community features, consumer engagement, and third party social networking.
Social network info
This refers to any information that is part of your profile on a third party social network (such as Facebook) and that you allow the third party social network to share with us. Examples include your basic account information (e.g., name, email address, gender, birthday, current city, profile picture, user ID, list of friends, etc.) and any other additional information or activities that you permit the third party social network to share with third party application developers. For example, we may receive your social network profile information (or parts of it) every time you download or interact with a Nestlé USA web application on a social network such as Facebook or every time you use a social networking feature that is integrated within a Nestlé USA site (such as Facebook Connect). To learn more about how your information from a third party social network may be obtained by Nestlé USA (or other third party application developers), please visit the website of the relevant social network.
Payment info
This includes any information that you use to make a purchase, such as your credit card details (cardholder name, card number, expiration date, etc.) or other forms of payment (if such are made available). This also includes the billing name and address associated with your form of payment. If you create an account with us when making a purchase, your payment information may be stored under your account profile. To review or edit this information, log in to the relevant edit account section of our site (if one is available) or contact the customer service department listed at the relevant store website.
Other info (depending on context)
This refers to any other information that we might need to collect for a specific Nestlé USA form, feature, or other service that you use or request. What this information includes will vary depending on the method of collection and the specific purpose(s) for which the information is being collected. Please see Section 3 ("How do we use your information?") for more specific examples.
The following paragraphs describe the various purposes and features for which we might collect and use your information, and the different types of information that might be collected for each. Please note that not all of the uses below will be relevant to every consumer.
Account maintenance
We may use your information to maintain your accounts with us, including administering any consumer loyalty or rewards programs that are associated with your account. This typically involves the use of information that was originally collected to set up your account (e.g., personal contact information, payment information, account login information, demographic information, etc.).
Customer service
We may collect and use your information to provide you customer service, including responses to your inquiries. This typically requires the collection and use of certain personal contact information (such as your name or email address) and information regarding the reason for your inquiry (e.g., order status, technical issue, product question/complaint, general question, etc.). Customer service may be provided through various forms of communication, including email correspondence, call center support, and live online chat features.
Product improvement and customization
We may collect and use your information so we can constantly improve our products, tailor them to your needs, and come up with new product ideas. This mostly involves the collection and use of demographic information and consumer feedback.
Consumer engagement
We may collect and use your information to get you more actively engaged with our products and services (including our websites and applications), thereby increasing overall brand engagement and awareness. This mostly involves the collection, use, and publication of consumer-generated content.
Contests and other promotions
We may collect and use your information to administer a contest, sweepstakes, giveaway, competition, or other similar marketing campaign or promotion. These events typically require the collection and use of personal contact information (for prize fulfillment), demographic information (for eligibility determination), and, in some instances, consumer-generated content. Some of our promotions may be run on third party social networks such as Facebook (for example, on our Facebook fan pages). To comply with legal requirements, we may publish or share a limited amount of information (such as name and city of residence) about the winners of a particular promotion. For more information about our contests and other promotions, please see the official rules or details posted with each promotion.
Marketing communications
We may collect and use your information to send you marketing communications, such as email communications, SMS text messages, and postal mailings. Please note that if you choose to receive SMS text messages, your plan fees for messaging will apply. These communications will keep you up-to-date on the latest news, events, special offers, and promotions from the Nestlé USA brands of interest to you. On occasion, these communications may also introduce you to other Nestlé brands and inform you about offers and promotions from other third party companies. Sending you marketing communications mostly requires the collection and use of certain personal contact information and demographic information. In some instances (such as for mobile apps and text messaging programs), this could involve the use of your precise geo-location, which may allow us to send you location-based offers and promotions.
You can always opt-out from receiving marketing-related email communications or text messages by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each such communication. If you have an account with us, you may be given the option to change your communication preferences under the relevant edit-account section of our site (if available) or by contacting Consumer Services. Please note that even if you opt out from receiving marketing communications, you may still receive administrative communications from us, such as order confirmations, notifications about your account activities (e.g., account confirmations, password changes, etc.), and other important announcements.
Also, please note that if you participated in a promotion that involved a third party company, and, as part of that promotion, you agreed to receive future marketing communications directly from that third party, you will need to contact the third party (not Nestlé USA) to opt-out from such communications. This process may be outlined in the third party's privacy policy.
Third party social networking
We may collect and use your information when you interact with third party social networking features such as "Facebook Connect" or "Facebook Like". These features may be integrated in our sites or applications for the purposes of running contests, allowing you to share content with friends, or other stated purposes. If you use these features, we may have the ability to obtain certain information about you from your social networking profile (see "Social network information" under Section 2 of this Policy). You can learn more about how these features work, and the profile data we may obtain about you, by visiting the website of the relevant third party social network.
Website improvement and personalization
We may collect and use your information to improve and personalize your experience on our websites and applications. This is typically done through automated technologies (such as cookies) that collect and remember certain account login information, technical information, and/or previous website usage information. For example, we might remember your login ID/email address or screen name so you can quickly login the next time you visit our site or so you can easily retrieve the items you previously placed in your shopping cart. Based on this type of information, we may also show you specific Nestlé USA content or promotions that are tailored to your interests.
Website community features
We may collect and use your information to give you access to website community features, including features that may allow you to upload and share recipes, pictures, videos, artwork, or other messages or content. This typically involves the collection, use, and (in some instances) public display of certain personal contact information, account login information, demographic information, and/or consumer-generated content. Because these features are "communal" in nature, information or content that you post in these areas may be visible to others. Please use caution when using these features or uploading content to a Nestlé USA site. For some community features, we may give you the ability to control whether some parts of your profile can be seen by others. To access these settings, log in to the relevant edit account section of our site (if one is available) and access your community profile. For website community features that have social networking integration (such as "Facebook Connect"), see separate paragraph on "Third party social networking."
Website viral features (e.g., tell-a-friend)
We may request and use your information so you can use website viral features, such as our tell-a-friend features. These features allow you to easily share certain Nestlé USA news, product information, promotions, wish list items, or other content with family members and friends. These features typically require the collection and use of personal contact information (such as names and email addresses) so that the selected one-time message or content can be delivered to the proper recipients. In most cases, we do not retain the information provided. In some cases (for example, as part of a refer-a-friend program), we may store the information so we can track and reward consumers for their successful referrals. For tell-a-friend or other viral features administered by third party social networks (such as Facebook's "Share" and "Like" features), please refer to the website of the relevant social network for additional information.
Order fulfillment
We may collect and use your information to process and ship your orders, and to inform you about the status of your orders. This could involve the collection and use of certain personal contact information, payment information, account login information, and/or other information related to your purchase (such as products ordered). This could also involve the ongoing storage of your payment information to allow for easier checkout on future purchases.
Please note that there are many independent e-commerce sites that sell Nestlé products but that are not controlled or operated by Nestlé USA. Because these sites may have different practices than we do, we recommend that you read their privacy policies before making any purchases on those sites.
Other general purposes (e.g., website security, internal research)
We may collect and use your information for other general business purposes, such as to maintain the day-to-day operation and security of our websites and applications and to conduct internal marketing and demographic studies. These activities mostly require the collection and use of certain demographic information, technical computer information, website usage information, and consumer feedback.
We may share your information with the types of companies or in the situations described below. We do not rent or sell your information to third party companies for their own marketing use.
Agents and contractors
These are outside companies, agencies, or contractors that we hire to help us run our business (e.g., fulfill orders, operate our websites, run promotions, provide website development, operate our call center, etc.). The information shared with our agents and contractors could include personal contact information, payment information, demographic information, or other types of information depending on the services being provided, and may require that we transfer your information to locations outside the United States. Agents and contractors are only allowed to access and use your information for the specific tasks they've been hired to do and are required to keep your information confidential and secure.
Joint sponsors and other partners
These are outside third party companies who we occasionally partner with to run joint promotions or offer you separate third party promotions. The information shared with these third party companies will vary depending on the promotion, and may be used by them for their own separate marketing purposes. If any of your personal contact information will be collected by or shared with a third party partner for its own marketing purposes, we will notify you at the time of information collection and give you the opportunity to opt-in or out of the sharing, as the case may be. For online promotions, we may also provide you a link to the third party's privacy policy.
Your California Privacy Rights
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to request and receive certain information about our disclosure of your personal information to third parties for their own marketing use, and your choices with respect to such disclosures. Because we do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing use unless you are first given the opportunity to opt-in or out (as set forth above), we are exempt from having to meet this requirement. If you still wish to learn more about our compliance with this requirement, you may contact Consumer Services.
Legal disclosures (when necessary)
This is when we may need to share your information for law enforcement or other legal-related purposes. This may be necessary in connection with a lawsuit, claim or investigation, governmental inquiry, court order, enforcement of legal rights (e.g., contract terms, intellectual property rights, etc.), safety issue, or other similar legal or security matter. Sharing your information for these reasons is not a regular event, but could arise from time to time. We strive to limit the types and amount of information we share for legal-related purposes to that which is reasonably necessary.
Business transfers (e.g., sale or acquisition of company)
We may share (or receive) information about you, including personal contact information, in the event of an acquisition, merger, sale, corporate reorganization, bankruptcy proceeding, or other similar event that involves Nestlé USA. If such an event occurs, we will take reasonable steps to require that your information be handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy, unless it is not practical or permissible to do so.
You can always opt-out from receiving marketing-related email communications or text messages by following the unsubscribe instructions provided in each such communication. Please read our Marketing communications section for limitations on certain administrative communications, order confirmations, and account notifications.
Many of our sites have a "your account or "your profile" feature where you may review and edit the information you have provided and you may be given the option to change your communication preferences, including opting out. If an edit account or profile feature is not available or you otherwise desire to access, edit, or remove your information, contact Consumer Services and we will respond to your access request within 30 days.
We use a variety of standard methods (described below) to keep consumer information confidential and secure. Please note, however, that these protections do not apply to information you choose to share in public areas such as our website community features or other social areas.
Secure operating environments
We store your information in secure operating environments that are protected from the public and that we only allow authorized Nestlé USA employees and agents/contractors to access on a need-to-know basis. We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect personal information; however, no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Encryption for payment info
We use industry-standard encryption to provide greater protection for sensitive financial information, such as credit card information, sent to us over the web. For example, encryption is used when you make payments through our online stores. Please note, however, that there are many independent e-commerce sites that sell Nestlé products but that are not controlled or operated by Nestlé USA. Because these sites may have different practices than we do, we recommend that you read their privacy policies before making any purchases.
Prior authentication for account access
We require our registered consumers to verify their identity (e.g., login ID/email address, password) before they can access or make changes to their account information. This helps prevent unauthorized access to your account.
Measures we expect you to take
It is important for you to also play a role in keeping your information safe and secure. When signing up for an online account, please be sure to choose an account password that is hard for others to guess and never reveal your password to anyone else. If you use a shared or public computer, never choose to have your login ID/email address or password remembered and make sure to log out of your account every time you leave the computer. You should also make use of any privacy settings or controls we may provide you in our website community areas.
This section provides additional information that is important for you to know about this Policy or our practices.
This policy applies to consumers only
This Privacy Policy applies only to our collection and use of information from consumers, using the methods described under Section 1 of this Policy. It does not apply to our business customers (e.g., retailers, distributors, etc.). It also does not apply to information we might collect and use for employment-related purposes (e.g., resumes, job applications, etc.) or business-to-business related purposes (e.g., media inquiries, investor relations, etc.).
We do not knowingly collect info from children
We do not solicit or collect any type of information from a person that we know is under the age of 13. If we discover that we've accidentally collected information from a child, we will attempt to remove that child's information from our records as soon as feasibly possible.
We are not responsible for third party sites/features
Our websites and applications may provide links to, or features from, other third party sites (such as independent e-commerce sites and third party social networks). If you link to or use such third party sites or features, you do so at your own risk. We do not control and are not responsible for the content or practices of any third party site, application, or feature.
We have been awarded the TRUSTe Privacy Seal

FORT LAUDERDALE -- Can you believe it? After 14 games, five months, countless trips to Starbucks and even more to Panera (you know, every sportswriter's office away from the office), the 2012 season has finally come to a close. Florida State finished it as ACC champions, and Orange Bowl victors.
I finished it with one or two gray hairs more than I had when preseason camp broke in August.
But I'll survive.
Was the season a success? Was it a failure? Was it somewhere in between? There is no right answer. The truth lies in the eye of the beholder. Consider the year whatever you will.
All I know is this, though: FSU will be losing several of its key stars in the coming weeks. The Seminoles are about to undergo a crucial cosmetic change. Their quarterback will be different; the defensive line and coaching staff, too.
Expectations and pressure will be heaped upon the Seminoles' shoulders once again. In time, the customary offseason chants of "are they back?" and "this is the year" will echo across the country. The challenges will be different, but markedly similar to what they have long been.
But, before we let you and the players and coaches get too far into thinking about the fall of 2013, let's take one look back at the first day of the new year. After clinging to a narrow lead over the Northern Illinois Huskies, the Seminoles finally pulled away for a 31-10 win over them in Tuesday night's Orange Bowl.
Below, we go deeper behind the Orange Bowl numbers to help explain the win:
6,591: Yards of total offense the Seminoles have had this season. They now are the most prolific offense in school history, going three yards past the 2000 team
12: The number of seasons since FSU had last won a BCS bowl game
14: Points scored in a fourth quarter that allowed the Seminoles to pull away just enough to secure the bowl victory
60: Yards on fullback Lonnie Pryor's first touchdown run
37: Yards on Pryor's second touchdown run
2: Number of Pryor touchdown runs
88: Career field goals for Dustin Hopkins. The FSU kicker's lone 25-yard chip-shot made him the NCAA's all-time leader in career field goals
3: Number of 12-win seasons in FSU history
41: Passing attempts by Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch
83: Yards rushing for the Huskies. Lynch entered the game averaging more than 130 yards per game himself
21 percent: FSU's conversion percentage on third downs
28 percent: Northern Illinois' conversion percentage on third downs


text: In the words of the immortal Rob Halford, "Breakin' the law, breakin' the law." In this feature, we delineate the eleven best criminal acts to ever be performed in any media. From movie murders to comic book capers, with stops in the realms of video games, television and professional wrestling, this homicidal handbook will give any wanna-be G-man a crash course in the criminal mind. Let's just hope that no enterprising mind takes it upon themselves to enact these crimes in real life. That would suck.

The team announced the deals Thursday, one day after Jaso was acquired from Seattle in a three-team trade that also included the Washington Nationals.
Jaso gets $1.8 million after hitting .276 with 10 homers and 50 RBIs in 108 games with the Mariners last season, when he earned $495,200. He had a .394 on-base percentage and batted .378 with runners in scoring position.
Smith's deal is for $3,675,000. He batted .240 with 14 home runs and 52 RBIs for the AL West champions last year, when he made $2,415,000.
The A's have two players left in arbitration: reliever Jerry Blevins and first baseman-outfielder Brandon Moss.

I have by mistake installed and unlocked with WinPwn the 2.2 firmware on my 2G iphone. The phone works but not the EDGE as when i go to Settings->General->Network i only have the 3G option which of course does not do anything.
I am trying to avoid going back to an older firmware since I also had to fix a dead strip on my screen and installed a new General.plist to enable the Touch feature on the Settings. I also understand that 2.2 gives important upgrade on the applications which i would like to retain...
Is there a way to replace a file in Preferences.app (like for General.plist) to re-activate the ability to use EDGE on my iphone without going back to old firmware?
Any help greatly welcomed.

Walter began his comedy career way back in 1982, when you still had to be funny to get a gig. He combines the fact that he has five ex-wives and four children into his off-beat brand of humor. Described by audiences as a cross between Don Rickles and Jonathan Winters, he is not afraid to tackle the delicate issues of relationships, child birth and travel, stamping them with his wicked sense of humor.
Hosting the 7 p.m. shows on Friday and Saturday is comedian Myles Weber. Born and raised in Vallejo, Calif., Weber discovered stand-up very early in life. In fact, he won his 5th grade talent show performing stand-up at just 10 years of age. He has since studied the art of making people laugh.

Brees: Fixing Saints' offense up to him
|New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (9) passes in the first half of an NFL football game against the Washington Redskins at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012. (AP Photo/Bill Haber)
METAIRIE, La. (AP) — Drew Brees is facing many of the questions he hoped to avoid.
A sputtering start for a normally prolific offense will do that, particularly on the heels of a scandal.

Not actually violent. I've just got a thing for violent and mouthy heroes that stab Dick Angels in the face and/or save the world.
Also for John McClane. Who'd TOTALLY stab an Angel in the face if it started acting a dick.
And for Captain America, who would stab you, but only if his shield wasn't handy. Otherwise all he's got for you is vibranium to the face. He's also mouthy, so a pretty well put together hero.

Flickr Find: Calendar Wall
Finding inspiration from the movie "If Lucy Fell", Scott painted a calendar on their living room wall in which Genie colorfully jots down their appointments, fun dates, milestones and to-dos. We can picture this being a fab and fun project for families -- with everyone from preschoolers to teens finding something appealing in it.
Thanks for sharing, Genie and Scott!

Very cute idea - love it! Now we just need a blank wall!!!
I loved that movie ;-)
I think this would be perfect if it was done with white dry erase paint (the black outline could be regular paint as it wouldn't change) and then you just fill in the dates and the details with markers every month. That way there's no need to repaint the whole thing next month!
... ah, thanks Sistah! for the wonderful bit !!!
if people want to see more of the calendar, come visit me at:
http://livingasart.blogspot.com/ !!!
i, too, have wanted to do this since the movie. as soon as i find the right house, i hope to make it happen.
No way do i want to be reminded that I have my calendar filled.

15-Minute Caramelized Onions
Note: For even faster caramelezing, add 1 teaspoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon baking soda to onions at start. This method will get you sweet, soft onions for adding to burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, etc. However, it is not a pure substitute for traditionally caramelized onions for recipes like onion soup—the flavor will not quite be the same.

|Video: How to Caramelize Onions in 15 Minutes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 to 3 large onions, finely sliced (about 5 cups)
- Water

Melt butter in a large heavy-bottomed stainless steel or enameled cast iron saucepan over high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until bottom of saucepan is glazed in a pale brown fond, about 5 minutes. Add 2 tablespoons water and scrape up fond with wooden spoon.

JRF, RRC and the RRA are sponsoring organizations of The Coalition on the Environment and Jewish Life (COEJL's) 2012 Jewish Environmental and Energy Imperative Declaration. Rabbi Mordechai Liebling, the Director of the social justice rabbinic training program at RRC was there signing on our movement's behalf as were numerous other Jewish leaders from among the 50 signing leaders. Among the signers are Bob Barkin, interim EVP of JRF and Rabbi Richard Hirsh, Exec-Dir of the RRA (see http://coejl.org/jecc/signatories/).
In signing the Jewish Environmental and Energy Imperative Declaration, leaders committed to take many significant steps, including: Setting the personal goal of reducing emissions by 14% by September 2014, which is Judaism's next sabbatical year (Shmittah year). Setting the community-wide intention of reducing greenhouse gases by 83% of 2005 levels by 2050 (a goal set by the US government), with a communitywide approach to greening homes and buildings. For the full text of the Declaration, see http://coejl.org/jecc/declaration/.
Meanwhile, including but reaching beyond COEJL, there has emerged an amalgam of Eco-Jewish organizations called the Green Hevre, which has recently received an important grant from the Nathan Cummings Foundation. Rabbi Liebling and Rabbi Shawn Zevit are also Recon representatives on the group which emerged after a special gathering of leaders of Jewish environmental groups, organizations and movements a few years ago- http://jrf.org/Sustainability_Conference.
Among its fifteen active and activist members are groups committed to one or more of four ways of dealing with our planetary crisis in Jewish terms: hands-on greening of synagogues, JCC's, and Jewish households; the awakening of ecological themes in Jewish practices like the festivals and life-cycle events and the "kosher" consumption of food and other fruits of the earth; the creation of alternative communities, especially Jewish organic farms; and public advocacy for change in public policy.
"If we are to have a viable future as a Jewish People, we need to build on Kaplan's formulation of Judaism as an evolving religious civilization to include a globally sustainable approach to living in faith community. A globally sustainable, evolving religious culture will also include interdependent and healthy economic, social, political, environmental and spiritual systems. There may be no more important issue to engage in and face than the issue of global sustainability in the 21st century. Our collective work is to raise awareness and encourage concrete action, with every JRF community being part of the tikkun of the planet across the sustainability spectrum." Rabbi Shawn Zevit, JRF Director of Congregational Services and Tikkun Olam.
