Cook Time:
20 mins

I have yet to try a recipe from the Food Gods that are Cook's Illustrated that I didn't care for and this one fails to disappoint as well. The method here requires slower cooking than the usual stir-fry in order to allow the aromatics to permeate the oil. It should be noted that my version had some ingredients substituted with what I could find: jalapenos for the Thai chilies (I know...what was I thinking?) and Italian basil for what C.I. recommends; "hot basil". I'm not even sure what that is, but apparently it has a "robust texture that can stand up to prolonged cooking". Anyway, it was still delicious with my substitutions! Times are estimated.

Most underground rappers have a hard time staying underground -- if they're talented, eventually they draw the spotlight. Somehow, Fatlip hasn't had that problem. Once a member of acclaimed West Coast quartet the Pharcyde, the Angeleno's hilarious, insane genius disappeared into obscurity and rumors of crack addiction. His brazen honesty and high-stepping flow made him a lost legend, but it's been years since anyone heard from him. The pre-release tracks from his comeback album The Loneliest Punk dump a bucket of funk over his loopy, inebriated lyrics. And now that he's touring, he just might get some well-deserved recognition. Still, I wouldn't expect the Fatlip line of sneakers anytime soon.
Fatlip plays at 10 p.m. Friday, January 14, with Mikah 9 of Freestyle Fellowship and local rappers Bluebird, the Leftoverz, and Secondhand Outfit, at I/O Lounge, 30 NE 14th St., Miami. Tickets cost $15. Call 305-358-8007.

Rated 4 out of 5 by 128 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by robsb Great Location in the NAtional Park As the only hotel inside Iguazu National Park the Sheraton has a wonderful view of the falls and easy walking access to the falls. The terraces are visited by exotic birds. The staff is friendly and helpful. February 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by James1001 Beautiful Place! My wife and I had a wonderful stay in our King room a view of the falls and a large balcony. Worth every penny! Food was delicious! Staff was very friendly and helpful! February 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bigred19 View of Iguazu All facilities at the Sheraton were first class. The "Falls View Room" had a wonderful view across the gardens, pool & beyond; to the Iguazu Falls. It was like being in Paradise. January 18, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by claraspg Iguazu Sheraton It is a very well located hotel, this is why I think this is THE hotel for visiting Iguazú. However it is not a five star hotel and that is perceived. The pool area could be renewed. December 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by SKPilot Great hotel with an amazing view My fiancé and I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. The staff is amazing, rooms are clean, and the views are amazing. The hotel is very close to all the things we wanted to do. January 21, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by t13559 Nice Hotel with Great View Great location, views, pool, restaurant. Clean & modern rooms. Only downers: room safe had no power so unusable; bar service lacking at lunch time with no dedicated bar staff. January 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wanda58 Location, location, location As the only hotel within the Iguazu National Park, you cannot beat the location. This is a property to splurge for a fall view - you can stand on the balcony forever looking at them. February 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by NLTravels Great, but lacked some things Breakfast had no coffee out. Juices yes, but no coffee. I tried to take some coffee back to the room for my wife and was told I had to use room service. March 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Chimu123 This hotel is superb in all facets, with the friendliest of staff and finest of facilities and services A great hotel, with a superb view of the Falls and national park. I will recommend this fine hotel to professional colleagues and friends. January 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by BONNIE Great Location Being so close to the waterfalls is a unique experience. Also, to have the chance to go and come from the walls whenever you want, is great! May 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by atmguru My stay 9 Mar 2013 The staff was incredible! They made the stay very nice. The only thing missing was a hot tub. The pool outside with the bar was a delight. March 12, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lsmed11 Perfect location Perfect location to see the falls February 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jackson13 Convenient Location with Spectacular Views My wife and I enjoyed a great 3 night stay at the Sheraton Iguazu Resort in September. The views and sounds of the Falls from this property are wonderful. The hotel does charge a hefty fee for these views, but, if you can afford it, I would recommend spending the extra money for a Falls View room. Enjoying a beverage on the balcony at the end of the day while taking in the sounds and views of the Falls will be a lasting memory of Iguazu for me, especially the night the monkeys visited! (The hotel warns that monkeys might visit the balconies and they do). This hotel is the only one located inside the park and the ability to enjoy the park early and late in the day when the crowds are gone is a great perk for those staying at the hotel. To be able to visit the park in the morning, stop back at the hotel to relax with lunch at the pool and then make another visit in the afternoon is great. The buffet breakfast is excellent. The offerings for the other meals are good, though a bit pricey as you usually find at hotels and the service was average. However you do have the added benefit of views of the Falls as you eat. The pool is very nice and was never too crowded during our stay. There is bar and food service at the pool well into the early evening. There is also a gift shop with limited offerings and a nice fitness center. We found the front desk and housekeeping staff members to be friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Iguazu Falls. October 6, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by WEREX Not for SPG Elites Interesting experience but partial unsuccessful. Upon arrival - had a transfer confirmation (airport-hotel) from the hotel staff // no driver at the airport ... at 2 a.m., took a cab, - at check-in desk the agent blocked 3!!! times more money on my bank card then I paid for a stay (Agent: "It's just a block" ... Ok but why 3 times more, why not 5 or 10 times? ... no answer) At the room: - just one category room upgrade (from jungle-view to waterfalls-view on the 1st floor), lots of other available rooms ... -"Can I get the best available room you have at 3 a.m.?" ... -"You paid for a basic room and have been upgraded to the view-room" ... -"I'm a Plat member" ... no answer , - denied with a room on SPG-level (3rd floor), - very small room (20-25 sq.m), including restroom (6-8 sq.m.) - no bathrobe, no flip-flops Others: - internet connection // extremely slow (up to 30 kbps download, often 3-8 kbps ... waited 2-3 minutes to load www.spg.com), sometimes impossible to download e-mails, - breakfast // just basic level - 3-4 kinds of fruits, 1 yogurt type, some cheap cereals, 3-4 juices, 4-5 hot meals, bakery and regular coffee. But the most important point is a location, just 5 to 10 minutes from waterfalls. It's gorgeous! As a conclusion: basic service level but not for Elite SPG-members. And of cause it's not a Category 5. If it's possible I'd suggest for Elites to choose any other options to stay this area. It could takes 10 minutes more walking distance to waterfalls but it should be much more comfortable to stay for. January 7, 2014

Dexanabinol in Severe Traumatic Brain Injury
- Full Text View

- How to Read a Study Record
Each year a large number of patients are hospitalized at Shock Trauma Centers with severe head injuries. Bleeding into and swelling of these patients' brains may cause compression of vital structures, disability and death. Sometimes surgery is needed. Unfortunately, the investigators have no medication to treat the bad effects of head trauma. Part of the brain damage is due to toxic chemicals (including one called glutamate) that are released by the damaged nerves. Dexanabinol may prevent some of the bad effects of glutamate on the brain and may protect the brain against uncontrollable swelling and death.

Dexanabinol is a synthetic, non-psychotropic cannabinoid derivative that because of its dextro-configuration is compatible with activation of cannabinoid receptors in the brain. It combines the ability to block NMDA receptors and neuroinflammatory cascades in the same molecule. Dexanabinol scavenges free radicals, protects neurons from toxicity of free radical generators and inhibits lipopolysaccharide-induced production of prostaglandin E2, NO and TNF-a by macrophages in culture.

PREPARATIONView Step-by-Step Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Combine first 3 ingredients in processor. Using on/off turns, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix 2 tablespoons ice water and vanilla in small bowl. Pour water mixture over dough. Process until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk. Roll out on floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter tart pan with removable bottom. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch. Fold overhang in and press, forming double-thick sides. Using fork, pierce dough all over. Freeze 15 minutes.
Bake crust until pale golden, about 30 minutes (crust may shrink slightly). Cool on rack. Maintain oven temperature.
Melt jelly with remaining 2 teaspoons framboise in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat. Brush jelly mixture over plums. Cool tart. Serve at room temperature with whipped cream, if desired.

BWW Review: WHAT MAKES A MAN at the Berkley Street Theatre
by Dennis Kucherawy - Oct 22, 2014
While reviewing What Makes a Man (WMAM), now playing at the Berkley Street Theatre, it's tempting to comment on what's not there, what could and should be there, rather than what is there.

A man of the world, he is capable of singing in five languages. One of the last surviving 'showmen,' he still is capable of filling the world's most prestigious concert halls. For example, a year ago he performed for the first time in 25 years at London's Royal Albert Hall. Demand was so great, a second concert was booked there for this past June. (more...)

Ragweed season has started, which means, sneezing, congestion, difficulty sleeping, asthma attacks, and itchy skin, eyes, nose, or throat for people with this pollen allergy.
Joining CBS19 for this week's Martha Jefferson Healthwise to talk about this allergy and if there is any relief, is Dr. Gretchen Beck of Blue Ridge Allergy & Asthma.
***Click on the video link to watch the full interview with Cheryn Stone***
Full script of the interview:
Dr. Beck: Ragweed is one of the most common causes of hay fever. When we say "ragweed", we are actually referring to about 15 different species in the sunflower family, which blooms from mid-August through October.
Cheryn Stone: Why is it such a common allergy?
Dr. Beck: The pollen from the ragweed plant is extremely potent. Each ragweed plant produces about a billion pollen grains per season, and these tiny grains can travel up to 400 miles. Another problem with ragweed is that it's everywhere-in fields, along roadsides, and even in abundance in vacant urban lots.
Cheryn Stone: What can ragweed allergy sufferers do to relieve their symptoms?
Dr. Beck: Well, now is the time to see your doctor if you are low on your allergy prescriptions. Be sure you have a supply of nasal steroids or oral antihistamines for times when your allergies flare up. You may consider allergy shots, which can be effective for up to 90 percent of patients who are allergic to ragweed. Some over-the-counter options, such as Claritin or Zyrtec are also worth trying.
Cheryn Stone: is there anything else we can do to minimize suffering?
Dr. Beck: As nice as it may be to feel a cool breeze, the pollen you allow to enter your home or car when you open your windows will definitely make your symptoms worse.
You can shower in the evening to eliminate any pollen that you may have tracked into the house and make sure you don't get that pollen on your pillow when you're trying to sleep. Also, bathe your pets often. You may not be allergic to your dog or cat, but they do track pollen into the house.
Finally, check the pollen counts in the area and try to avoid going outdoors too much on days when they are high. The American Academy of Allergy Asthma & Immunology has a resource on their website

Aging Gracefully Through Meditation
Meditation has long been believed to be a win-win proposition, carrying certain psychological benefits with zero risk or cost. People who meditate regularly report lower levels of stress, improvements in concentration and memory, and slower reactivity (no more road rage!). The mental relaxation produced by meditation can have physiological benefits, too, in the same way we know that a calmer emotional state is good for our physical body. But a few new studies reveal that the practice may have profound effects on actual brain development—something traditionally believed to peak in our 20s and then begin to decline.
Researchers at the Laboratory of Neuroimaging at UCLA have spent years studying how meditation may affect neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to make physiological changes. In a recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, the lab reported finding that long-term meditators had brain function that not only did not decline as they aged, but improved, thanks to an increase in brain gyrification—activity that happens in the cerebral cortex, or the outermost part of the brain. The lab also determined that the brains of dedicated meditators have more gray matter, which affects the brain's ability to process information, and white matter, which helps a person communicate clearly.

Google+ now features improved photo editing tools thanks to Snapseed
Google acquired Snapseed close to a year ago, and it looks like the Mountain View-based giant is finally using its acquisition by adding some photo editing tools based off of Snapseed's technology.
You can use these photo editing tools by looking at one of your photos in a lightbox in Google+ and clicking the new "Edit" button above the image which will then display a sidebar with a bunch of options. These tools give you the ability to adjust, crop, rotate, add borders, selectively adjust, tilt-shift, apply several filters and more.
Once you've finished editing your photo, you can either save it or replace the original, if you've made a mistake, you can revert the changes and go back to the original photo. The new Snapseed-like tools should have rolled out to most Google+ users, but if you can't see them yet, give it another couple of days.
Google opens the doors to its Moto X factory on Google Street View
Google did something great for the United States when they decided to make the Moto X smartphone on US soil, but now anyone in the world can visit the factory that Google's latest smartphone is made in.
The Mountain View-based everything giant opened the doors to its Moto X factory in Fort Worth, Texas, unveiling a bunch of 360-degree panoramic images of the Flextronics factory that pumps out over 100,000 Moto X smartphones each and every week. Sensitive information is of course blurred out, but you can still check out the factory which looks quite cool.
Google Street View takes us inside an 800-year-old salt mine
The images coming in from Google's Trekker backpack loan program are simply breathtaking. Adventurers, historians, and people from all over the world are taking advantage of the company's generosity and are capturing Street View-like images of some of the most spectacular and amazing places on earth.
Today, Google added images from the 800-year-old Wieliczka Salt Mine in Wieliczka, Poland, to the company's Street View product in Google Maps. The imagery is part of the company's UNESCO World Heritage series and takes us inside the 187 mile long, 1,000 foot deep salt mine. The imagery that has been posted includes three hand carved full-size chapels and a massive cathedral that is carved from the natural gray salt deposits.
Bing adds over 5 million square miles of satellite imagery to maps
Today, Microsoft announced on its Bing Blogs page that it has added an additional five million square miles of satellite imagery to its Bing Maps service. The update amounts to 316TB of aerial imagery from around the world being added to the service. In the image below, each yellow dot represents the new imagery that was added.
This is the first major update to Bing's imagery since June 12 of this year when the company added 270TB worth of high resolution satellite imagery of tourist location, including Rome, Milan, Stravanger, and Kaanapali. Today's update marks the largest addition to the search engine's map service since it was first launched. Head over to Bing.com and check out some of the new imagery, and if you spot something cool, be sure to post a link to it in the comments.
Yahoo has a new logo, yahoo?
In between all of the IFA 2013 news, Yahoo has chosen to unveil its new logo. Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has tried to provide some fresh visual interest in the Yahoo brand, so let's hope that the new logo helps.
As you can see, it retains its color, in a way, as well as keeping the exclamation point. The video above shows the work that went into the new logo, but I don't know if I'm convinced so far. Sure, a logo doesn't make a company, but it goes a long way for first impressions. What are your thoughts on Yahoo's new logo? Let us know in the comments.
Microsoft is still committed to Bing, won't give it up anytime soon
Google dominates so many services it's not funny, but Microsoft isn't going down without a fight when it comes to search engine wars. The Redmond-based software giant is very much committed to Bing, and it seems like that is a relationship that will keep on keeping on.
Since 2005, Bing has cost Microsoft's Online Services Division a hefty $11 billion, but the company are still continuing to maintain it, and pump money into the search engine. AllThingsD's Kara Swisher says that all of Microsoft's board members, including recently appointed activist shareholder firm ValueAct, think that Bing is a key part of Microsoft's future in online revenues.
I guess we'll see going into the future, but Microsoft's recently acquisition of Nokia's Devices and Services division might just have a helping hand in the future of Bing, or vica versa.
Amazon launches "MatchBook" program, bundles digital copy with books
Have you ever ordered a paperback or hardcover book from Amazon and wished that you could get the digital copy for your Kindle in the same purchase at a discounted price? If so, an announcement today is sure to make you quite happy. Amazon today announced a new initiative called Kindle Matchbook that will allow customers to include the Kindle edition of physical books in with their order at a highly discounted price.
Customers will now be able to pick up the Kindle edition of their book for $2.99, $1.99, $0.99, or for free anytime they purchase the physical copy of the book. Amazon has made this feature retroactive as well, and any books you have purchased since Amazon first opened its online bookstore now qualify for this deal. This means that you can go back through your Amazon purchase history and pick up the Kindle edition of your favorite books at a highly discounted price.
"If you logged onto your CompuServe account during the Clinton administration and bought a book like Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus from Amazon, Kindle MatchBook now makes it possible for that purchase-18 years later-to be added to your Kindle library at a very low cost," said Russ Grandinetti, Vice President of Kindle Content. "In addition to being a great new benefit for customers, this is an easy choice for publishers and authors who will now be able to earn more from each book they publish."

YouTube's logo gets a refresh, looks more Windows 8 friendly now
It appears that YouTube has been quietly changing its logo across the various social networking platforms it uses to promote its content. Additionally both the Android and iOS apps now feature the new logo. We're still not sure though, if this is an official permanent logo update as YouTube.com still features the old bubbly style logo.
The new logo as seen above appears to be more Windows 8 friendly and looks like it would fit in perfectly with the live tiles on any Windows 8 home screen. Additionally the logo does appear to more closely align with other Google-owned services such as Chrome and Drive, which both are quite minimalist and features double drop shadows. I have sent a request to YouTube for more information and will update this post as soon as I know more.
Google Hangouts getting upgraded to HD quality, finally
Finally! Google is switching Google+ Hangouts to HD video, which should result in a large increase in quality. The news comes from Google's Senior VP, Engineering for Google, Vic Gundotra, reports GigaOM.
Google is switching from H.264 to VP8, which should result in better quality video, with Google's VP of Engineering, Chee Chew, stating "it will be cleaner, better video." One of the main benefits of VP8 within Hangouts in HD is it is capable of doing more, at better quality, with less horsepower. H.264 would not be capable of handling HD streams from 10 users, as it would require too much processing power.

CPS reports highest five-year graduation rate "on record"
By ROSALIND ROSSI Education firstname.lastname@example.com June 9, 2012 12:12AM
Chicago Public Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard meets with the media after speaking to a parent training session at the Christian Fellowship Flock Church, 10724 S. Ewing. Wednesday, June 6, 2012. | Brian Jackson~Chicago Sun-Times.
Updated: July 10, 2012 6:09AM
Before most Chicago Public School seniors even hit the graduation stage, CPS officials Saturday were projecting the highest five-year graduation rate in 14 years.
A CPS news release touted the projected rate of 60.6 percent as "the highest graduation rate on record.''
However, the release did not explain that CPS has only been calculating five-year rates, based on how many freshmen graduate within five years, for 14 years. The state requires public schools to calculate a four-year rate for official counts sent home to parents.
Even so, the projected 2012 graduation rate reflected the third-largest uptick ever in a five-year CPS rate. It was up 2.3 percentage points from 2011 —- not quite as large a gain as the 2.5-percentage-point gain the year before or the 2.4-percentage-point gain in 2006.
"These results are impressive, but we have more work to do in ensuring that every child in our district graduates ready for college and career,'' Schools CEO Jean-Claude Brizard said in a news release.
CPS officials are hoping the longer school day they plan to impose next year, along with a tougher curriculum and a new way of evaluating teachers will yield even more academic gains.
The graduation rate is the first academic indicator CPS has released that reflects the first full year of Brizard's tenure. Mayor Rahm Emanuel cited the improvements Brizard produced in the graduation rate in Rochester, N.Y., where Brizard had served as superintendent, in choosing him last April to lead the nation's third-largest school district.
How much of the five-year increase could be attributed to Brizard's one year of work was not clear. But principals and experts credited in part an early warning system, set up by former Schools CEO Ron Huberman, that helps identify kids who have fallen off track to graduate and codes them as "red, yellow or green'' in terms of the help they need.
As a result, said Phoenix Military Academy Principal Ferdinand Wipachit, "When freshmen walk into Phoenix, we know their deficiencies immediately. Let's say a kid is 'yellow' in English; then we remediate immediately in English in the ninth grade."
Huberman elevated the use of data with such tracking systems, said Barbara Radner of DePaul University's Center for Urban Education, but Brizard has been even more systematic about asking the question "what are you doing about it?''
A 2.3-percentage-point gain in the graduation rate "may look like a small percentage but it's a very big step,'' Radner said, "especially when you think that means thousands of kids who have more possibilities.''
CPS spokeswoman Robyn Ziegler noted that many CPS students are entering high school better prepared, "due to investments we've made at the elementary level." And once students reach high school, she said, "CPS has focused on programs that not only boost student's academic achievement but also strive to keep our students in school."

Evolutionary Psychology
Though social evolutionary psychology is sometimes considered a subfield within evolutionary psychology, the fact of the matter is that evolutionists generally regard sociality as being a very significant, if not the most significant, force in shaping the human animal. Evolutionary psychology shares subject matter with sociobiology and evolutionary anthropology. Some subfields include behavioral primatology, ecological psychology, and comparative psychology (which focuses its research on animals).

Military Psychology
Military psychology is an applied discipline that utilizes scientific psychology towards military ends. Military psychology includes clinical practice as well as experimental and social psychology, the latter of which may be utilized towards information operations and psychological warfare. Psychological health and morale of combat troops, assessment of civilian mindsets in combat areas, terrorist profiling, interrogation methods, assessing enemy commanders and leaders, information warfare, and psychological operations are representative of some of social psychology's concerns within military psychology.

Organizational Behavior
There are industrial and organizational psychologists; essentially social psychologists that study problems relating to management, organizations, and industrial environments. There are also organization behaviorists…
Organizational behaviorists earn their degrees from business departments rather than psychology departments; nevertheless, there is significant collaboration between organizational behaviorist and social psychologists. Organizational behaviorists publish frequently is social psychology journals and social psychologist regularly publish in organization behavior journals. In my humble opinion, the only difference between organization behaviorists and industrial psychologists is the department of which they earn their degree.

Psychology of Communication
Considering that communication is an interpersonal dynamic that influences both individual and group behavior, it is most definitely a substantive area within social psychology. The social psychology of communication is concerned with interpreting nonverbal behavior, discourse, and symbol use as well as gauging their influence. Narrative, rumors, negotiation, impression management, and media influence are some substantive areas within the social psychology of communication.
