News Release
Union Hospital Terre Haute has been named the second-safest hospital in Indiana, according to the August 2012 issue of "Consumer Reports."
The information is also available to website subscribers at www.ConsumerReports.org/hospitalratings. All data, except infection information, come from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Infection data comes from individual states and the Leapfrog Group, which recently released its own hospital report.
Consumer Reports has safety ratings for 1,159 of the 6,268 hospitals in the United States. Hospitals that don't have enough data, have data that is considered too old, have data discrepancies, or don't report their data in a way that can be used, are excluded from the ratings, as are government hospitals and some specialty hospitals that don't treat patients with conditions used in the Consumer Reports readmissions rating.
The safety score combines six categories of hospital safety into a score between 1 and 100. Those categories include Infections, Readmissions, Communication, Scanning, Complications and Mortality. Displayed scores are rounded, but hospitals are listed in precise order of their score. Union Hospital Terre Haute placed second to St. Vincent Indianapolis Hospital's No. 1 rating.
"Safety is an extremely important focus of everyone here at Union", said Scott Teffeteller, hospital president and CEO. "These scores provide us with great feedback for knowing that our safety initiatives are working."
Union Hospital was recognized in 2011 as a Best Places to Work by Modern Healthcare Magazine; named to Solient Health Care's Most Beautiful Hospital in America Top 20 List; recognized as a Best Places to Work by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce for the fourth year in a row; listed as one of Health Care's Most Wired; and recognized by National Research Corp. as a Consumer Choice Award Winner for the Terre Haute area.

In South Africa, restaurant chain Wimpy is welcoming blind customers -- by serving them burgers with words in Braille spelled out on their buns with sesame seeds.
In a viral YouTube video promoting its in-store Braille menus, the company shows the seeds being meticulously placed onto the bread with tweezers before being baked. Diners at three Braille organizations were then given the 15 burgers, which were marked with descriptions such as "100% pure beef."

Want to hone your home maitnence skills and volunteer in Waltham?
Well, Saturday, Jan. 14 is your chance! WATCH CDC, a local group that helps people find affordable homes, is looking for volunteers to make energy efficient improvement to a Spruce Street home on Jan. 14, according to WATCH CDC press release.The improvements are intendd to help the residents save money.
WATCH is still seeking volunteers. No experience is necessary and anybody interested can contact, 781-891-6689m x200 or email@example.com.
Cambridge-based HEET will be assisting with technical assistance, while the Massachusetts Service Alliance's MLK Day of Service grant program is funding it.
The home belongs to a two sisters who purchased it in 1981 and live there with their father, who is 100 years old, and their brother, according to WATCH CDC. The sister moved into the building in 1976 and currently rent three other units to tenants.
" This is a great community event. The homeowners and their tenants will save significant money and live in a more comfortable home. The volunteers learn about cheap, simple, really effective changes they can take use to save money at their own homes and all of us feel great about working together towards a common goal of environmental protection," said WATCH CDC Executive Director Erica Schwarz in a statement.
The improvements come after WATCH did an audit in December that indicated the family was using more water and electricity than necessary due to inefficient utility systems, according to WATCH. The audit also showed other areas of the house that could be made more energy efficient.

When Omaha police responded to a burglary in progress Friday morning, they didn't find the suspect anywhere outside the house. He was hiding in the basement.
Officers were called to 4246 Grant Street at 12:37 a.m. They found a broken window on the north side of the house and saw a bag with some tools next to the back door.
The suspect, 55-year old Robert Williams, was arrested for burglary. Police say he refused to make a statement.

For my son Luke and me
Gerhard Meyer leaves in 1991 shortly after the founding DKMS register. It's thus a DKMS donor first hour. Years later when he himself is a chronic from of leukemia is determined. Suddenly he needs the help of a stem cell donor. After the successful transplant followed by many ups and downs until he can resume a normal life. Today he is fine enjoys every moment with his familiy.
This life story begins shortly after the founding DKMS and found even after many years mover no end - but a completely unexpected new beginning.
When a blod donation appointment in June 1991 I noticed a sign: For a leukemia patient was a donor search. The nurse told me that there was for the treatment of leukemia patients., the possibility of a stem cell donation. Whether a donor to fit a patient would be determined through an examination of the tissue characteristics. I decided spontaeously to join. I was barley a month after the founding of one of the first DKMS registered donors.
Eight years later, I was once again in the blood. After the initial examination I was told that an important value is too low. Inspection and controls in the hospital followed. And then the diagnosis: chronic myelogenous leukemia, CML shortly. At first broke down for me a world. The doctors told me that a stem cell transplant but rejected. This ferm was already familiar to me and also that as in recent years more and more leukemia patients could be wred. The most important thing at this moment was that there was no immediate danger of death. The doctors and I had time to prepare for an optimal treatment. So I had hopes that gave me new strength.
I was incredibly lucky. After a few month for me has found a matching donor. On 11. April 2000 I transplanted my new life. Then stem cells which someone had donated to me. After a constant ebb and flow I began in 2001 working again. Gradually my life became normal again and today I feel almost as good as I had never been sick. Only my hair as a result of chemotherapy I've permanently lost. During treatment I was reassured to think even before I was ready to give others the help I need now to survive.
A huge surprise was yet ready for the life of me: the stem was not only given me a new life. On 3. June 2003, our third child, Luke was born. For us a little incredible miracle! For after the therapy I should probably be permanently infertile accordig to doctors.
So today two people owe their lives to the generosity of another.

A Bi-Monthly Publication of the Hepatitis Support Project
September 26 , 2006
Volume 3, Issue 16
Liz Highleyman
In This Issue:
Hepatitis C
• Comparison of Pegasys vs Peg-Intron
• HCV Detection Using TMA Test
• Hispanics May Develop More Advanced Fibrosis
• Sexual Transmission of HCV
• HCV Risk Factors for Injection Drug Users
• HCV Transmission via Toothbrushes
Comparison of Pegasys vs Peg-Intron
In the August 2006 Journal of Hepatology, M. Silva and colleagues reported on a study comparing the pharmacokinetics and antiviral activity of 180 mcg/week pegylated interferon alfa-2a (Pegasys) vs 1.5mcg/kg/week pegylated interferon alfa-2b (Peg-Intron) in 36 patients with genotype 1 HCV infection. Patients were randomly assigned to receive Pegasys or Peg-Intron as monotherapy for four weeks, then added 13 mg/kg/day ribavirin for an additional four weeks. Although patients receiving Pegasys had higher blood drug levels, those receiving Peg-Intron had significantly greater up-regulation of interferon response genes, significantly greater maximum and average declines in HCV RNA, and were more likely to achieve at least a 2-log reduction in HCV viral load by week 8 (72% vs 44%). The researchers concluded that, "These findings suggest that the biological activity, measured by early interferon-induced gene transcripts and early antiviral responsiveness, may have been greater in patients treated with [Peg-Intron], despite their lower exposure to the drug compared with patients treated with [Pegasys]."
In an accompanying editorial, however, P. Jansen and H. Reesink cautioned against drawing premature conclusions about which form of pegylated interferon is better. After reviewing conflicting data from studies done to date, they wrote, "In terms of efficacy the books are still open." Sustained virological response (SVR) is what really counts, they said, not early response. A larger study called IDEAL is due to report comparative SVR data for Pegasys vs Peg-Intron in the first half of 2007. "For the industry these trials are, economically speaking, life or death," the authors concluded. "We should continue to make sense of the data and we should not decide too quickly that one drug is better than the other."

HCV Detection Using TMA Test
HCV viral load testing is routinely used to guide hepatitis C treatment. As reported in the August 2006 issue of Hepatology, C. Morishima and colleagues compared the more sensitive Bayer Versant HCV RNA Qualitative TMA assay (with a lower limit of detection of 9.6 IU/mL) and standard PCR viral load tests in the HALT-C trial, in which more than 1,000 prior nonresponders with advanced fibrosis were retreated with Pegasys plus ribavirin. Nearly all PCR-positive samples (99.9%) were also positive by the TMA assay. However, out of 1,294 PCR-negative samples, 22% were positive by TMA. Negative TMA results at 12 and 20 weeks predicted ultimate SVR better than negative PCR results, and none of the 45 patients who were TMA-positive but PCR-negative at weeks 20 and 24 went on to achieve SVR. "Negative TMA results at or after week 12 were superior to negative PCR results for predicting SVR," the researchers concluded. "In patients with negative PCR results during treatment, a single positive TMA test did not exclude SVR, although persistently positive tests did."

Hispanics May Develop More Advanced Fibrosis
In the August 2006 American Journal of Gastroenterology, S. Verma and colleagues reported that Hispanic patients with chronic hepatitis C may be more likely to develop advanced fibrosis compared with non-Hispanic whites. They analyzed data from 169 Hispanic and 63 white patients at a Los Angeles clinic. On average, Hispanic patients were older and were more likely to have had a blood transfusion (40% vs 21%), to be obese (47% vs 21%), to have diabetes (16% vs 5%), and to have liver steatosis (79% vs 47%). Hispanic ethnicity and obesity were both independent predictors of steatosis. Compared with whites, Hispanics had a significantly higher average fibrosis stage, a higher grade of necroinflammation, and a faster rate of fibrosis progression. The researchers concluded that, "this study confirms that Hispanics have more advanced hepatic fibrosis than non-Hispanic whites."
Back to top
Sexual Transmission of HCV
In the August 2006 issue of Sexually Transmitted Infections, J.M. Turner and colleagues provided further information about risk factors associated with an ongoing outbreak of apparently sexually transmitted hepatitis C among HIV positive gay/bisexual men in London. Between July 1999 and August 2000, participants completed a self-administered questionnaire about recent sexual activity and recreational drug use. Of the 308 men with adequate data, 11 were newly infected with HCV during follow-up. Factors associated with recent HCV infection were unprotected anal intercourse, more than 30 sexual partners in the past year, a higher number of new sex partners in the past month, use of sex toys, oral-anal sex, intranasal drug use, and especially anal fisting (P < 0.001). Men who practiced fisting were about six times more likely to be infected with HCV, but most also engaged in other high-risk sexual practices, making it difficult to determine which activities were responsible for transmission; in addition, five men who contracted HCV did not report fisting. Since hepatitis C treatment during acute infection is highly effective, the researchers recommended that, "consideration should be given to HCV RNA screening in individuals identified as being at high sexual risk."
Back to top
HCV Risk Factors for Injection Drug Users
Two recent studies looked at risk factors for HCV infection among injection drug users (IDUs). As reported in the October 2006 issue of Addiction, L. Maher and colleagues recruited IDUs through street-based outreach, methadone and sexual health clinics, and needle exchange programs in New South Wales. A total of 368 HCV negative IDUs were enrolled and followed every 3-6 months, completing questionnaires about demographics, drug use, and risk behavior. During the follow-up period, there were 68 HCV seroconversions (30.8 per 100 person-years). Among participants who had been injecting drugs for less than one year, the incidence rate was more than four times higher, at 133 per 100 person-years. Independent predictors of HCV seroconversion were female gender, shorter duration of injection, cocaine injection, shared use of cotton or other filters, and recruitment through street outreach.
In the second study, reported in the August 2006 Journal of Viral Hepatitis, C. Mathei and colleagues estimated the risk of sharing drug injection equipment. They found that "sharing of materials other than syringes/needles indeed seemed to contribute substantially to the spread of hepatitis C among injecting drug users." Together, these studies suggest that prevention programs targeting IDUs should educate users about the risk of sharing equipment such as filters, cookers, spoons, and rinse water, as well as needles and syringes.
Back to top
HCV Transmission via Toothbrushes
HCV prevention guidelines often advise against sharing toothbrushes, razors, and other personal care items that may come into contact with blood. G. Lock and colleagues examined whether toothbrushes of HCV positive individuals are likely to harbor the virus; results were published in the September 2006 Journal of Viral Hepatitis. Saliva specimen from 30 subjects collected before and after tooth brushing, plus toothbrush rinse water, were tested for HCV RNA. Saliva collected before tooth brushing was positive for HCV RNA in 9 patients (30%), while 11 saliva specimens collected after brushing had detectable HCV (36.7%); 12 toothbrush rinse water specimens (40%) also tested positive for HCV. The researchers concluded that, "Our study demonstrates a contamination with HCV RNA of a considerable portion of toothbrushes used by hepatitis C patients, suggesting at least a theoretical risk of infection by sharing these objects."

HUDSON: Keith W. Smith was sworn in as the representative of Ward 4 on Hudson City Council at Wednesday's meeting. He will serve for the remainder of 2013, and the seat will come up for election on November's ballot.
Smith has worked in the city since 2005. He has resided in the city since 2007, and he and his wife Anne Marie are expecting their first child. They are both employed by the Western Reserve Group at Morgan Stanley.
Smith is replacing John Jeffers who retired in December. Jeffers was thanked by a resolution passed during the meeting. Jeffers served on City Council since August of 2003, and received accolades from several council members, and Mayor Currin, who stated that Jeffers "was strong when he needed to be, soft when he needed to be," and his "opinions were well thought out."
Jeffers said that Hudson is wonderful because of its many volunteers. He said although he is originally from New York, he intends to remain in the community for life.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "Midnight oil? Dense black purple to the rim, the 2009 Lascombes has enormous concentration, with loads of graphite, blackberry, and blueberry notes as well as hints of pen ink and truffle. The wine is super-intense, full-bodied, fleshy, and rich. This is another wine that will compete with the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bright ruby-red. Expressive, full-blown aromas of black raspberry, currant, licorice, tobacco, woodsmoke, pepper and dill. Dense, sweet and spicy but a bit youthfully folded in on itself; the hints of dill and fresh herbs carry through on the palate. Today I sense a lot of young cabernet..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Collina dalla Valle might even be better than the 2010. Plums, spices, violets, menthol, licorice and lavender jump from the glass in a powerful, vibrant wine loaded with pure class and personality. The 2011 is a bit more tannic and darker than the 2010, with striking aromatics, vibrant..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Le Petit Cheval is the second wine of Cheval Blanc.
The Le Petit Cheval presents with an attractive ruby red color with amazing intensity. Initially, the aromas are elegant, with floral notes which segues into amazing fruit aromas that exhibit blackcurrant and cherry stones. On the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A wine that succeeds in combining great depth of flavor and structure with an impressive array of flavors. On top of the tannins is juicy black fruit, cocoa, a welter of spice and ripeness. The acidity and new wood put the wine into a more modern style."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Ornellaia is another gorgeous wine. Mocha, plums, tobacco and licorice blossom from the glass in a rich, seamless wine endowed with stunning depth. Savory notes develop later, adding depth and resonance. The 2011 looks to have a broad drinking window that is sure to provide many stages of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The wine hits all cylinders in 2010. The average alcohol for the bottled wine is 14%. It has a gorgeously sweet nose of creme de cassis, spring flowers, subtle barbecue smoke and charcoal followed by full body, beautiful intensity, great purity, stature and length. The influence of any oak is..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A big, bold, ripe wine with firm tannins and dark, solid fruits. The wine has acidity coming from the black currant flavors. Continuing the impressive quality of wines from La Gaffeli?re, it has weight and a rich feel to it, along with a tight, mineral final texture. This is a wine that is elegant..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Soft wine, the Merlot in the blend giving a round character to the texture. It is juicy, fruity, a gentle, mellow wine that seduces by its delicious ripe berry fruits. Its aging potential is there in the band of Cabernet tannins, but it's not a long-term wine."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dense purple-colored 2006 boasts an extraordinary perfume of lead pencil shavings, creme de cassis, burning embers, and a sensation that can only be described as like walking through a damp forest on a hot, humid day. Full-bodied, extraordinarily textured, and multidimensional with an..

Beta tests are always fun! This one especially, considering it's a beta test of an already awesome game, which can only get better from here on out. Berry Labyrinth is designed for the BlackBerry Storm and at this point consists of 10 playable levels of pure enjoyment.
The object of the game is to get the ball through the maze while avoiding any obstacles that may be in the way until you get to the other side where you drop the ball into the hole. The developers of the game Berry Blow are offering the game up for free while they beta test it and improve up on it, which they are dedicating a lot of time to.
You can read about Berry Labyrinth in the Forums and please, help them out with the beta test by leaving any comments you may have. Applications get better when developers openly share beta tests and the best way to improve a game or application is to share your experiences with the developers. Check it out and enjoy. And don't blame CrackBerry.com when you say goodbye to a few hours of productivity!!

jrappy87 Mar 8, 2009 at 3:53 pm
that was easy i just beat the ten levels in the one level. the other 9 i cant until the official release. it was a cool game though and it should be fun once i get really challenged haha lol
teenypeeps Mar 8, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Highly annoying, frustrating and utterly brilliant! Love it! When's the full version released?
silvr_s4 Mar 8, 2009 at 5:33 pm
great game, could be a little more challenging th0ugh, look forward to more levels,
1967LS2 Mar 8, 2009 at 5:56 pm
The accelerometor works really well in this game. The levels and the challenges are awesome...I did notice in a few of the levels that when you try to get the ball to just sit there still without any motion it would consitently bounce up and down. Other than that the game is really cool and I didn't notice any other problems. Thanks
xxxvictimizerxxx Mar 8, 2009 at 6:53 pm
The game was fun. Most of the levels were really easy, so tougher levels would be cool.
I did feel like they did not get progressively harder. I would suggest switching around the order of the fist 6 levels as I felt 4 5 and 6 were easier than 1 2 and 3.
Great job though...very smooth!
RyMac04 Mar 8, 2009 at 7:09 pm
By far the best use of the accelerometer as far as a game goes. And the physics are very accurate.
For people having trouble getting the game:
type "http://m.berryblow.com" into your BB browser.
BigNutSack Mar 8, 2009 at 7:12 pm
Game is pretty lame. Way too easy. I finished practically every level the on the first try. Now I just deleted the game after spending 5 minutes to get through all 10 levels
stlatham Mar 8, 2009 at 8:35 pm
-Ball doesn't seem to have enough weight/mass.
-Ball seems too "touchy" when bouncing off a wall at very slow speed.
-Game seems too one dimensional... I think the walls/barriers are too flat, not enough shadowing to give more depth.
Good first effort, accelerometer very nicely implemented. Will happily pay for final release after a bit more improvement.
Thanks for bringing such an addictive game to the Storm!
Valace2 Mar 8, 2009 at 8:57 pm
No leak, but another app, that once the beta is finished we will have to pay 5 bucks for. Brilliant.
mixwell Mar 8, 2009 at 9:50 pm
I love it. Can't wait for more levels to become available. smooth movt's and perfectly responsive. Good job!
emolina001 Mar 8, 2009 at 10:07 pm
I've downloaded it and played it a few times and noticed some glitches like
The ball teleporting by bouncing it off certain walls on two or three levels
I know its the beta but I just thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone
Else found this.
socialmuse Mar 8, 2009 at 10:09 pm
I agree...the Ball rebounds from the wall a little to much. If you let the ball rest against a wall it takes a while for the ball to come to a full stop. The game is very fun though and i like it
i tried this today and it's pretty good. game play is a bit laggy and the graphics (the ball loses it's 3d appearance as the ball moves) compared to the one on the iphone. overall a great game!
Schoondog Mar 9, 2009 at 7:36 am
Had this for a day and only issue I have had is on level 2 it got a little glitchy for about half a second. Very fun game!

Storm owners need more games like this, this is a very good looking game and the only thing I hope they do is make it like the updated iPhone version were when you tilt the screen the walls raise up 3D for a very realistic look.
Berry Labyrinth is the bomb! I used to play Monkey Ball on an old Samsung phone and it was fun. This is 10 times better.

AKRON, Ohio — Since the Dec. 14 massacre of 20 children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., mental health experts, the media, bereavement counselors, grieving parents and others have wondered what wickedness lurked in the mind of Adam Lanza.
One of the issues at the forefront is whether violent video games, to which the 20-year-old was reportedly addicted, could be the problem. But could the games alone have caused Lanza to become so out of control that they made him kill those children and seven adults, including his mother? Or was it something much more sinister?
"When someone goes and shoots like that … there's mental illness and then there's evil," offered Kathy Royer, clinical nurse specialist at 4KidHelp — Center for Child & Adolescent Psychiatry in North Canton, Ohio. "When it comes to video games, there is some research that says … kids playing video games can lead to aggressive behaviors."
But assigning blame solely to video games is a mistake, Royer said.
"Based on my own research … some of the information is more conclusive that it's family issues — and I hold to that," she continued.
"Nothing ever is just one thing. It's always a combination of things."
In-depth, evidence-based research about the effects of violent video games is rare. Still, the Dayton Daily News reported recently that a new Ohio State University study shows that playing violent video games can make people more aggressive over time, though it's impossible to link such games to violent criminal behavior like the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings.
Last month, President Obama asked for $10 million to allow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other agencies to research the causes of gun violence, specifying "research into the effects that violent video games have on young minds."
And Vice President Joe Biden said during a "PBS News Hour" "Fireside Hangout" on Google Plus that there is no hard data to prove that excessively violent video games can cause people to engage in behavior that is anti-social, including using guns.
"Let the CDC, let the National Institute of Health, let these people go out and look at the pathology that's behind this — if there is a pathology related to gun violence. We shouldn't be afraid of the facts," Biden said.
Saying all of that though, in 2011, the Supreme Court ruled that states could not ban the sale or rental of super-violent games — noting it violated young people's First Amendment rights and left it up to parents and the gaming industry to determine what children could purchase.

A standoff between police and a suspect sought for questioning in a police investigation ended Wednesday afternoon when Oregon State Police (OSP) SWAT team members found the man deceased inside a Reedsport-area hotel room. The death investigation will be completed by Reedsport Police Department and preliminary information indicates the man died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Prior to 12 noon on September 12, 2012, law enforcement officers from Reedsport Police Department, Oregon State Police, Douglas County Sheriff's Office, and Coos Bay Police Department secured an area around the Fir Grove Motel located at 2178 Winchester Avenue as they negotiated with a man inside one of the motel rooms. A school near the motel was placed on lockdown while officers worked to resolve the situation.
During the afternoon, officers attempted to contact the man inside the room and as they entered he fired one shot from a firearm so officers retreated. No officers were injured. Highway 101 was closed in both directions and the OSP SWAT team was requested to respond.
At approximately 5:30 p.m., OSP SWAT team members entered the hotel room and found the man deceased. The man's name will be released by Reedsport Police Department because they are the lead investigating agency.

July 28 —
It is no secret Pennsylvania's roads and bridges are in disrepair and access to transportation falls short of state needs. But no one could have guessed the course the "no new taxes" governor might take to find the money to repair a deteriorating infrastructure and transportation system.
The Transportation Funding Advisory Commission, a 40-member panel convened by Gov. Tom Corbett, announced its recommendations last week for raising about $2.7 billion a year for highways and transit.
Technically the commission, at the governor's direction, did not consider an increase in the gasoline tax at the pumps — remember "no new taxes."'
But the commission did recommend lifting a cap on the tax on wholesale gasoline and diesel fuel. And who would pay for those increases if the cap is lifted? The same Pennsylvania residents who would pay for further recommendations by the commission — higher vehicle fees, including license renewals and registrations — to adjust them for inflation.
Commission Chairman Barry Schoch, the state transportation secretary, decided the increases are modest and are needed to correct the Commonwealth's infrastructure woes.
Schoch said by the fifth year, the weekly cost to a typical driver would be an estimated $2.54. "That's less than the price of a gallon of gas to make a substantial upgrade to our transportation network," he said.
The typical motorist Schoch used to figure that cost increase is the owner of one car with average fuel economy who drives only 12,000 miles per year. That state car owner would pay $36 more for fuel in the first year and $132 more by the fifth year, when all elements of the proposal would be implemented. That figure doesn't count possible new registration and license fees.
Truck drivers who use the roads to move product around the state would pay more than $500 per year for each tractor-trailer.

Mole is a smooth, rich sauce prepared with ground chiles and other ingredients. The word mole, pronounced "MOH-leh" may come from the Nahuatl word "molli" which means mixture. The Spanish word moler (the verb to grind) is also very similar, and may be related. Mole is most often served as a sauce over turkey or chicken, but may also be used in the preparation of enchiladas or as a filling for tamales.
There are many different types of mole, but mole poblano, the version from Puebla, is one of the standards. A basic mole poblano recipe contains a variety of different chiles (mulato, pasilla, ancho), as well as tomatoes, bread, tortilla, onion, garlic, chocolate, chicken stock, banana, lard, almonds, sesame seeds, salt and spices such as pepper, clove and anise. In general, mole is a time consuming and labor intensive dish to prepare and requires many ingredients, many of which must be peeled, toasted and ground by hand with a grinding stone. Nowadays mole paste can be purchased at the market and reconstituted with chicken stock, although purists maintain that the flavor does not compare to a freshly prepared version.
Tradition says that mole poblano was originally created in the kitchen of the Santa Rosa convent in Puebla by Sor Andrea de la Asunción who prepared it for a visiting bishop in the 1680s. The combination of New and Old World ingredients makes this a truly mestizo dish.
Pipián is another type of mole made in Puebla. It includes ground toasted squash seeds. There are both green and red variations: pipián verde and pipián rojo.

I write about how companies make money (or should be making money).
By all accounts actor Alec Baldwin acted like a spoiled brat on an American Airlines flight last week. When asked to shut down his Words with Friends game for takeoff he reportedly refused, then got up to finish the game in the bathroom, but not before slamming the door so loudly it was heard in the cockpit. Baldwin was unceremoniously escorted off the plane.
Baldwin tweeted about the episode and American Airlines responded with its own explanation of what happened on Facebook.
In short, it was a masterpiece of corporate communication: After reading it, one somewhat comes away with images of how seriously airlines take safety, a very subtle reminder of 9-11 thrown in just in case you missed that point ("the cockpit crew heard it and became alarmed, even with the cockpit door closed and locked") superimposed with the specter of a selfish, arrogant and entitled passenger who made the trip hell for everyone else. Baldwin reportedly caused the plane's departure to be delayed for a couple of hours, although AA was good enough not to mention this in its post.
One Saturday Night Live Weekend Update clip later it all looked so different.
The First Time Ever An American Airlines' Flight Was Delayed
Appearing as "Captain Steve Rogers" Baldwin skewered the incident mercilessly, reminding everyone what they hate about air travel. That delay? It was true, Baldwin-Rogers deadpanned ""and it was the first time in the history of American Airlines that one of our flights was delayed." Also, he got in a jab about the airline's bankruptcy and the absurdity many see in having to turn off their devices for takeoff and landing.
"Oh, you don't believe that, do you, Seth? Would you really get on an airplane that flies 30,000 feet in the air if you thought a Kindle switch would bring it down? Come on it's just a cruel joke perpetrated by the airline industry."
Social Media Microphone
Few customers have Baldwin's audience or pull at SNL, but companies had better get used to comparable microphones they can grab with social media if they haven't already. This is not news, of course – thanks to bloggers, YouTube and a plethora of XYZbrandnamesucks.com out there, customers have been able to harness the Internet to publicize both their rightful and perceived woes to the world for ten years or more.
Are you saying that baldwin playing games on his smartphone is OK?
I am an airline Captain. Let me tell you that the ENTIRE CREW will have to come in ON THEIR DAY OFF and fill out paperwork, talk to management, on and on. They will all be second guessed, counseled, etc. It wont be any fun at all. And the next time there is a problem, they will be less apt to do their job. Alec Baldwin is a spoiled brat. He needs to do time for interfering with the flight, write a letter of apology to each and every one on board, and plan on not flying for awhile. If he is that above us all, he should do it in his own jet. I would have thrown him off. He gives talent a bad name. And has anyone thought about the fact that that aircraft had to go somewhere after that flight? Subsequent flights flown by that airframe were delayed. And so were all those passengers, too. And the maintenance people who were supposed to do maintenance checks on it that night? I guess they got to go home late. Nice, Alec, very nice.
AA has atrocious customer service, while he was probably at fault, I'd feel a lot differently if this happened on a company like Southwest that actually treats their customers like people. The last time I went to an AA desk, the lady said, "you look like you are about to snap!" I wasn't even upset, can't imagine what she'd say to someone who is. Attitude goes a long way towards creating or defusing these situations.
Problem is, it isn't just celebrities that behave badly on planes, refusing to turn off their cellphones, music players, computer, etc. I was on a flight home on Southwest the Friday after Thanksgiving so the flight was full. The crew announced several times to turn off all electronics. The guy in the seat in front of us along with his 2 sons were watching a movie on their laptop. One flight crew asked him twice to turn it off; he just waved her off. By this time 5 minutes had gone by. Next thing the jerk knew all three crew members were standing there threatening not only to confiscate the laptop but to report and charge him for failing to obey their instructions. I've given my business card to flight crew in the past in case they needed a witness to a passenger's not only bad but illegal behavior; I offered them one as well. I wish more airlines and flight crew were as tough as Southwest and it's well-trained people.
He is right we are treated like cattle.
All these border crossings between every airport now.
The EU was to do away with all these customs
trolls with guns stopping U, slowing U down & demanding $$…. over an artificial line in the sand.
What, now there is a customs stop at every damn little airport !!!!! TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF.
Alec Baldwin's skit on SNL was persuasive. It persuaded me to think that he is unable to see how his selfish, narcissistic behavior effects other people and that he has the maturity of a 13-year old.
Brands are the face of products and services. No doubt many an American Airlines customer was amused by Baldwin's commentary, but their decision to fly or not fly on American is probably going to come down to price and convenience. The actual airline experience, at least in economy, is safe, convenient, largely frills-free but still pretty decent — flight attendants in my experience are friendly and human even if their corporate commanders seem to care very little for their customers.
You know, with everyone, well almost everyone having a smart phone, why are sheeple so stupid? A company comes out with something new and sheeple stand in line to buy it, some even stand in line over night. Soon sheeple will be going to doctors because their index finger will not scroll up and down anymore. Sometimes during the day I see sheeple looking at their phones, as if they are looking at something important that cannot wait until they get home to their computers. I guess they all are playing games like baldwin. Can you imagine? Grown people playing games on what is called a smartphone!
No wonder this country is in as bad of a shape as it is. Sheeple cannot think for themselves, they have to see something on an ap that they paid for on something that a corporation made to make money off of child like sheeple..
Let's put this incident in perspective.
In the end neither the incident nor Baldwin matter to American.
I doubt that many passengers will factor this incident into their flying decisions and American's business will not be affected one way or another.
American's management is experiencing lots of anger and some humiliation, but in the end the business is unaffected. This is an emotional, not a business event.
It's ashame that as a society, we look upon events like Baby Baldwin's as funny.
Where were the folks standing up for the flight attendants? I wasn't raised like Baby Baldwin nor do I act like him.
If American Airlines would politely "Ban" him from flying on AA he might sing a different tune.
Baldwin's rantings is just one side of Twitter, maybe the dark side
But Twitter is still a powerful tool for business marketing. Just remember…
Your competition is marketing on Twitter! Hurry up and Boost your Twitter marketing!
Yes the airlines are atrocious these days, it's true. But how can people forget that incendiary devices can be set off with cell phones? Or other electronic instruments? Even though air travel is awful, we've still got to let airlines do their jobs to the best of their abilities, especially when our own safety is concerned.
American Airlines came out the loser in this (and yes, Baldwin comes across as an aging spoiled brat), but the winner is Zynga, developer of Friends With Words. Have you followed up on how much money Zynga has pulled in from FWW app sales ($2.99 on iTunes App Store). My wife and I each purchased it for our iPhones as a result of the Baldwin episode; I wasn't aware of the game before. (I know it's not new, but I'm not much into gaming.) If I didn't think Baldwin had enough money already, I'd suspect him of orchestrating this as a guerrilla marketer for Zynga! :)

A bit of advice please.
People who follow the fibro tag, I've heard a lot, as I'm sure you have too, that living a healthy lifestyle can go a long, long way to managing your pain.
I already know some of the things I can do - mainly stop drinking a disgusting amount of pop and try to eat more veggies and less chicken nuggets. I was wondering if anyone had any other tips? Or anything that you changed about your eating habits that made a big difference in managing your pain?
The same goes for exercising. It's supposed to make a big difference but I'm having trouble thinking of exercises I could do. I can't walk or stand very long, and the fog makes it hard to keep my concentration or even to get up and do something.
Edit: I know yoga's a really popular suggestion for fibro patients, but unfortunately not one I can try. My doctor advised against it thanks to my hyper extended joints.
So, tl;dr, any tips on eating better or exercise as a way to manage your fibro pain?@2 years ago with 5 notes

Suzann Pettersen maintains lead in Hawaii
KAPOLEI, Hawaii (AP) — Suzann Pettersen shot a 4-under 68 on Friday at wind-swept Ko Olina to maintain a one-stroke lead after the third round of the LPGA Lotte Championship.
The 32-year-old Norwegian, a 10-time LPGA Tour winner ranked sixth in the world, had a 14-under 202 total.
South Korea's Hee Kyung Seo was second after a 66. She made three straight birdies on the back nine for a share of the lead, but dropped back with a bogey on the par-4 18th.
Defending champion Ai Miyazato was third at 11 under after a 70.
Pettersen, a stroke ahead of Miyazato entering the round, birdied the first three holes and got to 14 under with a birdie on the par-4 seventh. The European Solheim Cup star bogeyed the par-3 eighth, and got the stroke back with a birdie on the par-5 14th.

Poems by Bei Dao
Translated by Clayton Eshleman and Lucas Klein
Zhao Zhenkai was born on August 2, 1949 in Beijing. His pseudonym Bei Dao literally means "North Island," and was suggested by a friend as a reference to the poet's provenance from Northern China as well as his typical solitude.Dao was one of the foremost poets of the Misty School, and his early poems were a source of inspiration during the April Fifth Democracy Movement of 1976, a peaceful demonstration in Tiananmen Square. He has been in exile from his native China since the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989. His books of poetry include Unlock (2000); At the Sky's Edge: Poems 1991-1996 (1996), Landscape Over Zero (1995); Forms of Distance (1994); Old Snow (1991); and The August Sleepwalker (1990). His work has been translated into over 25 languages. He is also the author of short stories and essays. In 1978 he and colleague Mang Ke founded the underground literary magazine Jintian (Today), which ceased publication under police order. In 1990 the magazine was revived, and Bei Dao serves as the Editor-in-Chief. His awards and honors include the Aragana Poetry Prize from the International Festival of Poetry in Casablanca, Morocco, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has been a candidate several times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was elected an honorary member of The American Academy of Arts and Letters. At the request of Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, he traveled to Palestine as part of a delegation for the International Parliament of Writers. Bei Dao was a Stanford Presidential lecturer and has taught at the University of California at Davis, the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and Beloit College in Wisconsin. In 2006, Bei Dao was allowed to move back to China. Bei Dao is currently Professor of Humanities at the Chinese University in Hong Kong. In winter 2009 New Directions published his poetry collection, The Rose of Time: New & Selected Poems.
"Clean-voiced lutes and lantern-lit parties on the water have not been
the concern of Chinese poets for over a century, and yet they still seem to
invade the imagination whenever the term "Chinese poetry" is introduced
in English-speaking contexts. This is unfair and a great shame. Just as classical
Chinese poetry, its subject matter and aesthetic precepts, invigorated English-language
poetry in the mid-1900s, the poetry of contemporary China has the power to uncover
new paths of focus for poets today. Former exile poet Bei Dao is by far the
best-known of Chinese poets since 1978, and the quality of his work is recognized
by poets both within China and without. He has spoken as the oracle of the conflicted
zeitgeist of a modernizing China, while his poetics have stepped past the fashions
of his time into new territory.
"Endure," the newest collection of Bei Dao's poetry in English, is a collaborative effort between the poet-translator Clayton Eshleman and Lucas Klein, translator and assistant professor at City University in Hong Kong. The poems the present have been carefully selected to represent Bei Dao's best and most significant work from the 1970s to the present. The English editions take some inspiration from earlier translations, but far outpace their ancestors for clarity and full re-creation of poetic ideas. The volume even includes an appendix that depicts the process of interpretation through an email exchange between Klein and Eshleman. This isn't just an important book; it's a good one."
- Canaan Morse, Pathlight poetry editor Wall Street Journal/CHINA

Barbary lion
|Barbary lion
|A Barbary lion from Algeria. The photograph was made by Sir Alfred Edward Pease around 1893.
|Conservation status
|Scientific classification
|P. leo
|P. l. leo
|Trinomial name
|Panthera leo leo
(Linnaeus, 1758)
Felis leo Linnaeus, 1758
Panthera leo berberisca
The Barbary lion (Panthera leo leo) is a kind of lion. It is either extinct or extinct in the wild. "Extinct in the wild" means that the only living ones are in zoos. Scientists are not sure that there are any Barbary lions still alive. They don't know for sure that there are any zoos with Barbary lions in them.
The Barbary lion is also called the atlas lion and the nubian lion. It is a subspecies of the lion. It used to live in North Africa, from Morocco to Egypt.
Looks and behavior[change | change source]
The Barbary lion is the biggest and heaviest kind of lion. Males weigh about 190 to 230 kilograms (420 to 510 lb), and females weigh about 150 to 190 kilograms (330 to 420 lb). Male lions were about 2.7 to 3.4 metres (8 ft 10 in to 11 ft 2 in) long and females were about 2.1 to 2.7 metres (6 ft 11 in to 8 ft 10 in) long.[1] Some scientists think that these sizes and weights are too large. These scientists think that the Barbary lion is probably the size of the lions found in East Africa.[2]
The places where the Barbary lion lived did not have a lot of food. These lions did not live in prides because of this.[3] (A pride of lions is a family group. It usually includes a male lion, several female lions, and their cubs.) These lions usually lived alone. Sometimes they lived in pairs (two lions lived together.) The female Barbary lion raised her children until they were mature. This took about two years. After that, the children left their mother.[4]
Food[change | change source]
Barbary lions are carnivores. This means they eat only meat. The main animals they hunted in the Atlas Mountains were the Barbary stag and the gazelle. The lions also ate cows and sheep raised by people.[4]

Guess the fossil!
Howdy! Saturday night we returned from our Andean fossil adventure – what did we find? Post your guess in the comments, and tomorrow I'll explain the photo. Hint: the black and white stripes are each 1 cm. To read about our expedition, click on the Andean Fossil Hunt link to the right.
August 16, 2012
Fossil answer: burrows!
Time to explain our mystery fossil!
Scott is correct – it DOES look kind of like something was coming out of a hole on the left of one of the orange tubes.
These are fossils of burrows – tubes dug by animals on the seafloor. The block we're looking at in the photo is turned on it's side, and we're looking at the underside. The orange color is a coincidence of the sediment type and weathering processes. It nicely highlights the shapes for us.
In healthy ecosystems, marine critters live above, on, and in the sediment at the seafloor. But how to preserve these burrows? It can be difficult, because storm and wave activity can erase the trace that these burrows ever existed. Typically we only record fossils of burrows that were deeper – at least 20-30 cm into the muck.
These burrows in the photo are called, "Thalassinoides". We name trace fossils independently, because we're rarely sure of the tracemaker. These kinds of burrows – deep, diverging, with many chambers – are associated with shrimps in the modern ocean. There's very cool modern work done on these burrowing shrimps – especially by Dr. Wiebke Ziebis at USC.
Burrows are amazing. Once you learn how to see them in rocks, you can't UN-see them! It was a blast showing off lots of photos of burrows during my talk at the Geological Society of Peru today. Some people there at the meeting – and the geologists I worked with in the field – will now see burrows long overlooked in the past.
Here's one of my favorite pics of fossil burrows. It's from a site in Nevada, famous for it's well-studied sedimentary layers. I talked with a grad student researching there and she, like many other people, hadn't even realized her site was FULL of burrows!
This is my labmate, Carlie. Behind her, the dark colors highlight the burrows that permeate so much of these sedimentary layers. Burrows – they are all over the place! They tell us a lot about the environment – The diversity and abundance of animals, oxygen levels, all that good stuff. So, after a mass extinction, obviously I'm keeping my eyes out for burrows of sea floor animals.
August 15, 2012
Guess the fossil!
A friend requested more posts and photos about fossils! I will deliver. Why have I posted so few? Below, I explain my two pragmatic reasons.
But first, a fossil! Let's make this interesting. Take a look and give me a guess what you think this image shows. Post your guess in the comments so everybody can see. Don't worry, there are no silly guesses – this is how paleontology became what it is today. We learn to reexamine rocks and every year realize there are amazing records of past live we've overlooked for centuries!
Specifically, check out the orange-ish parts of this rock. Is this a fossil? If so, of what!? Hints: red and white stripes on the Jake staff are 10cm each. This image is looking at the bottom of a layer of rock. Need more hints? Post questions in the comments, and I should be able to answer in Lima.
Why haven't I posted pictures or videos of my rocks or fossils here?
1) When lucky enough to have a hotel during field work, my nighttime duties include cataloguing the days observations and samples, looking up information on the internet, and communicating with people back home. This blog is a part of that but it's all I can do to get one dispatch out most nights.
2) Sadly paleontologists can be very competitive, dishonest people. I vividly remember my first science meeting, 24 years old, two weeks after finishing my first official summer field expeditions. Researchers from three different countries came up to my poster to tell me they planned to fly to the American west to do my dissertation project before I could finish it. This was after I offered to collaborate with people who turned me down! The silver lining here is that I'm studying something people care about. As a totally non-competitive person, though, I just can't wrap my head around people who lie and manipulate – basic human behaviors to which, sadly, science is not immune. Consequently, I don't so much as post on Facebook about where and when I do field work, and what fossils I find. I post pictures of sunsets and lizards, weeks later. Because my main dissertation research isn't published yet, I can't even describe exactly what I've found and why I'm here openly on the internet.
To be fair, though, there are plenty of rocks and fossils I've seen on this trip that are plentiful throughout time. They won't, you know, spill the beans. So, insofar as I have time, I'll post pics and explanations of cool fossils or features over the next week or so.
Right now time is short – I still have a sack of specimens to re-catalogue and most of my gear is packed, then we head down the mountain for Lima, a drive of 4-5 hours. Wish us luck!

Jennifer Aniston and her boyfriend, Justin Theroux, arrived in Hawaii for a vacation. The couple have been pretty serious since taking their love public, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down any!
The two touched down on a private island on Sunday, likely there to get away from it all—and maybe to celebrate Theroux's birthday a little early (it's on August 10). However, these two couldn't possibly sneak away without a scandal of some sort, right? Well, Us Weekly is reporting that Theroux was planning on taking his longtime girlfriend on this pre-planned vacation with him—you know, before they broke up.
"Theroux's Hawaiian getaway was originally planned with Heidi Bivens. Over the winter, Theroux and fashion stylist Bivens, 35, hit the island of Kauai for surfing, horseback riding, snorkeling and more. And in March, Bivens gushed to pals about returning for the summer," reports Us Weekly.
Oops. Well, things happen, right? Theroux and Aniston have been lightning in a bottle, and regardless of the circumstances, it will be a nice vacation for them.
