When testing out different recipes you never know which ones will be good, and which ones will be amazing. We are happy to report that this recipe is amazing! If you've never had lamb, or lamb chops don't be nervous. We like to think of lamb as a mix of beef and pork. Because petite lamb rib chops resemble a lollipop with a perfect nugget of meat on one end and a convenient bone "handle" on the other. Ask your butcher to french the lamb chops—that is, scrape the bone clean of fat and gristle. Or do it yourself. Make sure you get enough because these little chops will go as quick as 3 shakes of a lambs tail.
Lollipop Lamb Chops With Rosemary Sauce
In a small saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until softened and translucent: Do not let brown.
Transfer to a blender jar. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, mustard, and Worcestershire and blend. Season to taste with black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the remaining olive oil while the machine is running until the sauce is emulsified. Add a tablespoon of water if the sauce is too thick. Set aside.
If you are cutting the chops yourself use a sharp knife, and starting at the top of the bone, then making a u shape like the pictures below. You can scrape off any excess fat or grisle with the sharp side of the knife
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 450 degrees F (or High) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 12 minutes. Brush the lamb chops on both sides with olive oil and then season generously with salt and pepper. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until done to your liking—135 degrees F for medium-rare. Because the chops are so small they won't take long to cook, so make sure you don't forget about them on the Traeger.
Serve with the Rosemary Sauce for dipping. This Rosemary Sauce is awesome! You can put it on beef, fish, or even chicken. We think it goes perfectly with these tender lamb chops! Please comment, and let us know what you think.

Oh, and did we mention that it's absurdly delicious? Like we're thinking, prosciutto chips instead of potato chips. And the best part is you can sneak a few pieces of it before cooking.
DIFFICULTY: 2/5 PELLETS: Alder or Oak PREP TIME: 20 min. COOK TIME: 25 min. SERVES: 4
For the shrimp: 2 pounds cleaned jumbo shrimp (about 24 shrimp) 8 paper-thin slices prosciutto, each cut into 3 pieces
For the salsa: 2 ripe freestone peaches, peeled, pitted, and finely diced (or use good quality jarred or canned peaches)1 to 2 tbsps. balsamic vinegar 2 tsps. honey, or to taste 1/2 to 1 serrano or jalapeno chile, seeded and finely diced 2 tbsps. chopped fresh basil or mint leaves Salt and freshly ground black pepper to tasteThinly sliced jalapenos and basil leaves for garnish, if desired
Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and dry thoroughly on paper towels. Spiral a piece of prosciutto around each shrimp; the ham is fairly tacky and should stick to itself. But you can secure it with a toothpick or skewer if you wish.
Make the salsa: In a mixing bowl, combine the peaches, 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, the honey, 1/2 serrano pepper, basil, and salt and pepper. Taste, adding more vinegar, honey, chile, or salt and pepper as desired.
TRAEGER TIP: To peel peaches, make a shallow cross with a paring knife on the bottom of each peach. Submerge in boiling water for 30 seconds or so: The skin should come off easily.
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 400 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Arrange the prosciutto-wrapped shrimp on the grill grate and grill for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is opaque.
Serve the shrimp warm topped with the peach salsa and garnished with slices of jalapenos if you like a little extra heat.

Why can't we have the best of both worlds? Who's the boss telling us that we can't eat incredibly tasty food that's also good for us? Well, we hate to disappoint you but we don't know. BUT we do know that they're wrong.
After several holidays-worth of irresistible indulgence (totally worth it!) it's time to incorporate a few lighter, still mouth-watering, recipes. And that's exactly why we have our Guilt Free - Love, Laugh, Grill Cookbook. The recipes, like our Sweet Pepper Crab Cakes, walk that line between health and flavor. We loaded the cakes with generous amounts of crab meat plus sweet peppers to bring out the sweetness in the crab and a fresh pepper sauce to finish! The Traeger is the perfect tool to replace the typical oil used to fry the cakes and still get that golden exterior and moisture-sealed flavor.
So go ahead, indulge and feel good about it!
PREP TIME: 15 min COOK TIME: 8-10 min RECOMMENDED PELLETS: AnySERVES: 4
5 slices of day old whole wheat bread, or toasted bread¼ red bell pepper – seeded and diced 2 cloves of garlic, minced3 tbsp fresh basil (or parsley), chopped 2 cups precooked fresh crab meat - we like using 1 c. lump and 1 c. claw meat1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper2 tsp chili sauce (or hot sauce) 2 large eggs 1 tbsp olive oil
SAUCE: 5 small red sweet peppers – seeded and diced2 cloves of garlic – chopped 3 tbsp red onion – diced 1 tbsp olive oil ¼ cup water1/2 teaspoon salt, or more to taste1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Start the Traeger on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Preheat grill to High setting with lid closed for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile make the crab cakes by combining the bread, peppers, garlic, and basil in food processor, pulse 20 seconds.
Transfer to mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, eggs, salt, black pepper and oil. Add that along with the crab meat into the bread mixture and gently mix it together, being careful not to break up the crab meat too much. (Those big chunks make for a tasty find!)
If too moist add a little whole wheat flour, or too dry add a little water.
Create small disks/patties out of the mixture and place on a foil-covered baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
Cook on the Traeger for 8-10 minutes, or until crust is golden brown (turn crab cake over half way though cooking time).
For the sauce, drizzle a little bit of oil into a pan and sauté the sauce ingredients, except for the oil and water, for 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
Transfer to food processor, add 1 tbsp of oil and 1/4 cup water and puree until smooth.
Serve the crab cakes warm with the red pepper sauce and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.

Contrary to popular belief, lobsters do not mate for life. (Quite the opposite, actually. Floozies.) However, the relationship between your Traeger and lobster meat should be eternal. Grilling the lobster tails produces the ultimate texture with a sweet burst of delicate shellfish flavor in each bite. This simple yet amazing recipe is in our Traeger's Everyday Cookbook.
PREP TIME: 10 minutesCOOK TIME: 25 to 30 minutesRECOMMENDED PELLETS: Oak, Apple or PecanSERVES: 2
INGREDIENTS 2 lobster tails, 8 to 10 ounces each, defrosted if frozen 8 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Prepare the lobster by cutting down the middle of the tough shell toward the tail with kitchen shears.
Using your fingers, gently pry the meat from the shell, keeping it attached at the base of the tail. Lift the meat so it is resting on top of the split shell (again, keeping it attached at the base of the tail). Make a slit down the middle of the meat to butterfly it open on top.
Place the lobster tails on a rimmed baking sheet.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the lemon juice, paprika, garlic salt, Old Bay Seasoning, pepper, and parsley (if using).
Pour about 1 tablespoon of the butter mixture over each lobster tail. Keep the remaining butter mixture warm.
Remove the lobster tails from the baking sheet and arrange them directly on the grill grate.
Cook for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the meat is white and opaque.
Transfer the lobster tails to a platter or plates. Serve with the reserved butter mixture.

If you're cooking a romantic dinner this Valentine's Day, the last thing you want is to spend time slaving over dessert when you should be enjoying your steaks...I mean...each others' company. These Pineapple Strawberry Kebabs are the perfect solution! They are the ultimate in simple and clean-up is a breeze. If you've never grilled prinapple on your Traeger, you're in for a real treat. Paired with juicy strawberries and toasty marshmallows, then drizzled in decadent chocolate these kebabs are as pretty as they are delicious!
Prep Time: 10 minutesCook Time: 5-10 minutesServes: 2-4 peopleRecommended Pellets: Pecan, Apple, or Cherry
INGREDIENTS:Half of a fresh pineapple, cut into chunks1 lb fresh strawberries, tops removed8-12 large marshmallows1 bag semi-sweet chocolate chips4-6 large bamboo skewers (soaked in water for 2-4 hours before grilling)
When ready to grill, start the Traeger Grill on Smoke with the lid open for 4-5 minutes to establish the fire. Close the lid and turn the temperature to High. Allow the grill to preheat for 10-15 minutes.
Meanwhile, thread your fruit and marshmallows onto your skewers in an alternating pattern.
Fill a large oven safe bowl with about an inch of warm water. Fill a smaller bowl with the chocolate chips and place in the water.
When ready to cook, lay the skewers and the bowls with the chocolate on the grill. Close the lid and cook for 2-4 minutes until the marshmallows start to puff up on one side and the chocolate chips start to melt.
Turn the skewers over and stir your chocolate.
Grill for 2-4 more minutes until marshmallows are toasty all over and chocolate is fully melted. Transfer the grilled skewers to a large platter and, using a fork, drizzle the melted chocolate directly over the fruit and marshmallows. Serve warm.

Crème brûlée can be intimidating even from the look of the very words themselves. Just look at them! All those fancy symbols making it appear all complicated. However, be not deceived! It does not need to be hard and you can even get away without buying a kitchen torch (although they are pretty cool and may come in handy during the zompocalypse). Instead you can just toast the top using your oven's broiler. For simplicity's sake, let's just call it burnt cream. It has a rustic ring to it.
Name aside, there is something quite decadently irresistible about a creamy, smoke-laced vanilla custard that is hidden underneath a sweet, crystallized top. The perfect pairing is like chips and queso.
Simply put, you just gotta try this.
PREP TIME: 25 minutesCOOK TIME: 1 hourRECOMMENDED PELLETS: Apple or CherrySERVES: 6
6 tablespoons Sugar in the Raw (turbinado sugar), or granulated sugar 1 quart (4 cups) heavy cream 1 whole vanilla bean or 1 tablespoon good-quality vanilla extract 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur (optional) 10 egg yolks 3/4 cup granulated sugar Hot water for baking the crème brulees Assorted berries such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc., for serving Mint leaves, for serving
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Put the 6 tablespoons of Sugar in the Raw in a clean coffee or spice grinder and grind until the coarse crystals are fine (Alternatively, you could just empty and use your pepper grinder.) Set aside.
Pour the cream into a medium saucepan. Split the vanilla bean and scrape out the pulp and seeds; add both to the cream. Or stir the vanilla extract into the cream. Add the Grand Marnier, if using. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Remove from the heat and let cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain into a large pitcher with a spout.
Reserve the vanilla bean for another use.
In the meantime, make the custard: Add the egg yolks and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar to a large mixing bowl.
Using a stand mixer or hand-held electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar with the whisk attachment until they are a pale yellow, about 2 minutes. (You can make the custard using a whisk, but it is hard work.)
Very slowly add the cream with the mixer running continuously on medium-low speed. If you add the cream to the egg yolks too quickly, the eggs will scramble and your custard will not be silky-smooth.
Put a fine-mesh strainer over the mouth of the pitcher and pour the custard mixture through it. Arrange six 7- to 8-ounce heatproof ramekins on a large rimmed baking sheet or in a cake pan. Divide the custard among the ramekins.
Carefully set the pan with the ramekins on the grill grate of your Traeger. Pour enough hot water into the pan to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins.
Smoke the crème brulees for 15 minutes.
Increase the heat to 325 degrees F and continue to bake the crème brulees until they are set, 40 to 45 minutes depending on the depth of the ramekins.
Let the crème brulees cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until well-chilled and firm. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Just before serving, evenly dust the top of each crème brulee with the reserved raw sugar.
Using a small kitchen torch, melt and caramelize the sugar, moving the torch constantly, until the sugar's crisp and golden brown. If you don't have a kitchen torch, place the ramekins in a large baking pan and fill space between with ice and water. Set your broiler to High and let the custards broil until the tops are caramelized to your liking.
Top with berries and mint and serve immediately.

With the crisp Autumn chill in the air, nothing feels better than a belly full of hearty stew. Traeger's Recipe for Old Fashioned Beef Stew is sure to cure those comfort food cravings that come with colder weather. The only thing better than this stew hot off your grill, is warming it up for leftovers the next day after all of the flavors have had a chance to meld together.
Prep Time: 10 minutesCook Time: 4 hoursServes: 6 Recommended Pellets: Pecan
INGREDIENTS 2-1/2 pounds beef chuck roast cut into 1-1/2 inch cubes 3 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons Traeger Prime Rib Rub, or salt and pepper 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1/2 cup red wine (optional) 3 cups low-sodium beef broth or bouillon 1 large onion, halved and then sliced lengthwise 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon tomato paste 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 1 bay leaf 1-1/2 teaspoons dried thyme 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks 3 medium-sized boiling potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks 2 to 3 tablespoons instant mashed potato flakes (optional) Chopped parsley for garnish Biscuits or buttered noodles for serving
PREPARATION 1. Combine the flour and Traeger Prime Rib Rub in a large resealable plastic bag or bowl. Add the beef cubes, and toss to coat.
2. Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven until it shimmers. Add the beef in batches and brown on all sides. Pour the wine, if using, and the beef broth into the pan and scrape up any brown bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in the onion, garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire, bay leaf, and thyme. Put the lid on the Dutch oven.
3. When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 300 degrees F (Medium) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Place the Dutch oven on the grill grate. Braise the stew for 2 hours, then add the carrots and potatoes. Continue to cook until the meat and vegetables are tender, approximately 2 hours longer. If the gravy needs thickening, stir in 2 to 3 tablespoons of mashed potato flakes. Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley.
Sure, deep fried chicken cordon bleu is a delicious classic. We've actually come to favor our baked version, coated in flavorful and crispy panko bread crumbs and cooked over Traeger's tasty wood smoke. For a bonus layer of flavor, mix equal parts mayonnaise and mustard and spoon on top of the chicken right after baking or serve on the side as a dipping sauce.
Prep Time: 25-30 minutes, plus an hour to chillCook Time: 25-30 minutesServes: 4Recommended Pellets: Apple, Hickory, Oak
INGREDIENTS 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, each 4 to 5 ounces, tenders removed 8 thin slices ham or prosciutto 1 cup baby spinach leaves 2 cups grated Swiss, gruyere, or mozzarella cheese 1/3 cup all-purpose flour Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 cup dry bread crumbs, preferably panko 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 tablespoons butter, melted 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, or 1 teaspoon dried 2 eggs
PREPARATIONLine a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Put each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap that are 4 inches wider than the chicken breast. Evenly pound with the flat side of a meat mallet, being careful not to tear the chicken, until it is 1/4 inch thick. Remove the top piece of plastic wrap and discard.
Lay 1 to 2 slices of ham on the chicken breast to cover. Top with one-fourth of the cheese and spinach leaves.
Roll the chicken breast up like you would roll a burrito: Using the bottom piece of plastic wrap as an aid, fold the bottom of the breast up about an inch, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly. Wrap in the plastic wrap and tightly twist the ends to shape and compress the chicken. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
In the meantime, season the flour with salt and pepper and put in a shallow dish. Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, butter, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper and put in a second shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in a third dish. Arrange on your workspace in this order: flour; eggs; bread crumbs. Put the prepared baking sheet next to the bread crumbs.
Remove the plastic wrap from the chicken breasts. Coat each lightly with flour, then dip in the egg. Finally, roll in bread crumbs, patting them on to make them adhere. Arrange on the baking sheet.
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes. Place the baking sheet with the chicken on the grill grate. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Serve whole, or slice crosswise into pinwheels with a sharp serrated knife.
The epitome of classic American comfort food is a gooey grilled cheese sandwich served alongside a steaming bowl of creamy tomato soup. Here at Team Traeger, we can't help but see a classic dish like this and think about how we can ramp up the flavor with some good old Traeger magic. We roasted some delicious heirloom tomatoes for the soup and then added (what else?) thick-cut peppered bacon to the grilled cheese before throwing it on the grill for a nice crunchy crust. This isn't your Mom's canned tomato soup and grilled American cheese sandwich of your childhood... it is SOOO much better.
Prep Time: 30 minutesCook Time: 45 minutes to an hourServes: 4Recommended Pellets: Hickory, Oak, or Pecan
INGREDIENTS:For the Soup:3 tablespoons good olive oil 1½ cups chopped yellow onions 2 carrots, peeled and chopped 1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves) 4 pounds vine-ripened tomatoes (we used heirloom tomatoes, 3-5 depending on size) 1½ teaspoons sugar 1 tablespoon tomato paste 3 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade 1 tablespoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper ¾ cup heavy cream Julienned fresh basil leaves, for garnish
For the Grilled Cheese:12 slices thick cut peppered bacon8 slices sharp cheddar cheese8 slices sourdough bread4-6 tablespoons salted butter
PREPARATION:Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and carrots and sauté for about 10 minutes, until very tender.
Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the sugar, tomato paste, basil, chicken stock, salt, and pepper and stir well. Bring the soup to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, uncovered, for 30 to 40 minutes, until the tomatoes are very tender.
While the soup simmers, start the Traeger on Smoke with the lid on for 4-5 minutes to establish the fire. Close the lid and turn the temperature up to High (400 degrees). Allow the grill to preheat for 10-15 minutes. Place the tomatoes and the bacon slices directly on the grill grate. Roast for 10-15 minutes until the bacon starts to brown on one side and the tomatoes are sweating and charred on one side. Flip them all over and grill for an additional 10-15 minutes. Tomatoes are done when the skin has started to split.
Remove the tomatoes to a cutting board and coarsely chop. Add them to the soup mixture. Remove the bacon to a separate plate and set aside. Leave the grill on and close the lid.
Add the cream to the soup and puree with an immersion blender or in small batches in a blender.
Cover the soup and keep the over low heat while you assemble the grilled cheese sandwiches. Butter each piece of bread, lay down two slices of cheese and top with the cooked bacon.
Return the the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until browned and crisp.
Dish up the soup and top with julienned basil leaves. Slice the sandwiches along the diagonal and serve next to the warm soup.
On a chilly winter morning, there is nothing quite as satisfying as a hearty plate full of home-baked biscuits and flavorful sausage gravy. The smoked sausage creates the most delicious country gravy we've ever had. Ever. Especially on top of perfectly golden, fluffy biscuits. This recipe is a guaranteed winner. Your Grandma might even admit her biscuits and gravy comes in second place.
Prep Time: Up to an hourCook Time: 10-15 minutesServes: 4Recommended Pellets: Hickory, Oak, Apple
INGREDIENTS: For the Sausage GravyOne 12-ounce tube bulk pork sausage 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 cups milk Freshly ground black pepper, to tasteFor the Biscuits 2 cups all-purpose flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into cubes, or solid vegetable shortening, chilled 3/4 cup milk, or more as needed
PREPARATION: Start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the unwrapped sausage roll directly on the grill grate and smoke for at least a half and hour, or up to an hour.
In the meantime, prepare your biscuits. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. Pour in the milk and stir just until you have a soft dough. Add a bit more milk if needed. Do not overmix or the biscuits will be tough.
Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead with floured hands until it comes together. Pat into a disk about 1/2-inch thick.
Flour a round cookie or biscuit cutter and cut (don't twist the cutter) into biscuits. Transfer to an ungreased cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, preferably one that's air-insulated. Reroll the dough scraps. (Note: Biscuits from rerolled dough won't be quite as tender.)
After the sausage has smoked, remove the susage and urn the temperature on your Traeger to High (400 to 450 degrees F) and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Put the baking sheet with the uncooked biscuits on the grill grate and bake the biscuits until risen and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, break it up with a wooden spoon, and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned and cooked through, about 7 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a bowl, leaving the rendered fat in the skillet. Whisk the flour into the fat and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute.
While whisking, pour the milk into the skillet and bring the gravy to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer gently for 2 minutes. Stir in the sausage and season with pepper.
Split the warm biscuits in half and divide them among plates. Top each biscuit with some of the gravy and serve immediately.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - A judge will hear arguments over whether key pieces of evidence from the George Huguely murder case will be made public.
Several journalists are pushing for the evidence, which includes text messages between Huguely and Yeardley Love, as well as Huguely's videotaped police interrogation.
Last month, a jury found Huguely guilty of second degree murder and grand larceny and recommended 26 years in prison.
Formal sentencing is expected next month.

ED Visits By Nursing Home Residents 'Disproportionately High'
An emergency medicine physician and researcher suggests that skilled nursing facility residents with "ambulatory care-sensitive conditions" may be treated appropriately in healthcare settings other than the emergency department.
"Going to the emergency department can actually be somewhat traumatic" for a nursing home patient, says Renee Hsia, MD, an emergency department physician at the University of California San Francisco Department of Emergency Medicine.
Yet nearly one in five patients taken to a hospital emergency department from a skilled nursing facility are treated for so-called "ambulatory care-sensitive conditions," suggesting that some of their medical issues might be more effectively managed by the SNF's healthcare team, or in another less intense setting.
Hsia and colleagues from the UCSF Department of Emergency Medicine, analyzed annual National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data from 2001 to 2010 whose Research Letter published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.
See Also: 5 Ways Health Systems Can Reduce ED Usage
She describes what it's like for these sick, elderly patients. "They're waiting a long time, sometimes in the hallway with a lot of commotion, and it's definitely not a comfortable environment. And these are patients who are going to be sensitive to different environment, in terms of delirium."
If a visit to the ED can be avoided, she says, it should be.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
M. Bennet Broner, PhD (10/30/2013 at 12:14 PM)
Years ago, I performed quality assessments of nursing home care for Medicaid and I was surprised at the frequency with which residents were transported to the ED though their conditions could likely have been treated "in-house". Transportation, often by ambulance, occurred for not only suspected UTIs, but also for a minimal spike in temperature, and even for ear wax removal. These facilities had medical directors and many of the patients had personal physicians listed on their charts. Could these professionals not have been consulted first or could they have visited the patient at the home rather than their being transported to overburdened EDs?
Deb Collier (10/30/2013 at 10:08 AM)
SNF medical care is fragmented and limited by the episodic medical oversight provided by the team of medical providers which may change daily. They are not staffed to deliver preventative care through continuous monitoring of chronic conditions. Even when we bring issues to their attention, they are passive and when challenged, call an ambulance. Basic proactive measures are not standard such as a urine dip after treatment for a UTI or removal of a catheter. Is that because CMS does not pay or authorize? It takes over 24 hours to implement any medication or treatment change and then the subsequent aides and nurses do not always follow orders (daily weight - pressure stockings - hydration)because they are short staffed and pressured to care for numerous "guests" simultaneously. Two hospitalizations in three weeks is costly in many terms but of most importance to us, it delays rehab and reduces the chances of any level of recovery. Keep researching this topic. We can do better for our parents and loved ones.

Reflecting the spirit of Las Vegas' past while embracing a passion and vitality for the future, the legendary Bally's resort in the heart of the Strip is an enduring favorite among visitors. Offering much more than just affordable accommodations, Bally's showcases cosmopolitan dining, a fine spa and a premier race and sports book.Of course, entertainment makes up a cornerstone of the resort. "Jubilee," which has a history spanning more than 30 years, is currently closed and undergoing a major transformation. The grand-scale production that is responsible for pioneering the showgirl-style revue will be relaunched at Bally's on March 17, 2014. It is retaining its topless showgirls flocked in feathers and rhinestones while getting a culturally contemporary twist.Other entertainment options at the resort include the interactive dinner show "Tony n' Tina's Wedding," the L.A. Comedy Club and "Veronic Voices" featuring tributes to popular female recording artists like Madonna, Lady Gaga, Adele, Pink and Celine Dion. "Divorce Party Las Vegas," a comedic musical about the difficulties in relationships, premieres on March 13, 2014.Bally's has its share of distinctive restaurants -- like the Tequila Bar and Grill, with flavorful Mexican favorites, and Sea - The Thai Experience, which features unique fusion cuisine in a sleek setting. The Sidewalk Café is open for those who want to grab a quick bite for breakfast or lunch. Elsewhere on the property, you'll find fast eats at Java Coast, Nosh and the large food court, which includes Johnny Rockets, Nathan's Famous, Sbarro, Pan Asian Express and Subway. BLT Steak, a highly regarded steakhouse from New York City, will be opening here in early 2014. Among its signature staples are popovers, tuna tartare, Dover sole and of course, specialty steaks.In the evenings, dance the night away at the Indigo Lounge. Live bands perform in this seductive spot, usually accompanied by a sexy tabletop dancer or two. And you can make friends with other visitors in Sully's, the wood-paneled bar near the lobby that has been welcoming guests to Bally's for many years. Drai's After Hours, beloved by late-night partiers, is making a temporary home at the resort through spring 2014.If you're interested in the day's big games, the resort is home to the finest race and sports book around. Located at one end of Bally's Avenue Shoppes (an eclectic collection of fashion, souvenir, jewelry, luggage and sundries stores), this stadium-style venue has projection-screen TVs wherever the eye can see. A VIP lounge, called the Sky Box, features additional flat-screen televisions and comfortable seating. It can accommodate up to 100 guests. Plus, there's a big bar with high-top tables spilling out out into the shopping area.Bally's has begun construction on the $50 million Grand Bazaar Shops. Scheduled to open in fall 2014, the 2-acre outdoor retail complex will be located at the front of the property. Inspired by great markets from around the world, the Grand Bazaar Shops will have 150 outlets including Swatch, Superdry, Havaianas and Campo Marzio. More than a third of the space will be dedicated to restaurants, bars and food outlets. The focal point of the Grand Bazaar Shops will be a spectacular tower called the Swarovski Crystal Starburst. Positioned over the brand's store, it will display a dazzling midnight show of lights and music.Bally's includes an Olympic-sized pool with palm trees, private cabanas and a whirlpool. There's also an impressive tennis complex, the largest one on the Strip. All eight championship-caliber courts are lit for night play. A full-service pro shop and lessons from a former ATP Tour player are also available.A place that offers rejuvenation and profound relaxation, The Spa at Bally's is an exceptional facility. It has 18 treatment rooms, multiple hot tubs, wet and dry saunas, and a eucalyptus steam room. There is a salon and fitness center as well.The comfortable accommodations at Bally's comprise 2,814 spacious guest rooms and suites. Among the standard amenities are hair dryers, irons and ironing boards, clock radios, internet access (for a fee) and cable TVs. Unlike many hotels on the Strip, Bally's has designated "PetStay" rooms where pets are allowed to stay for an additional fee.The resort is connected to Paris Las Vegas through Le Boulevard shops. It also is on the Las Vegas Monorail route. This means you'll have easy access to other great hotels on the Strip as well as to the Las Vegas Convention Center.Bally's opened in 1973 as the original MGM Grand. At that time, with more than 2,000 rooms, it was one of the largest hotels in the world. Today, it's no longer among the biggest properties -- but at Bally's you can surround yourself with the charm of yesteryear while enjoying a fabulous present-day Vegas vacation.-- By Renée LiButti

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule; correction.
SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is correcting a Final Rule that appeared in the Federal Register on January 30, 2012 (77 FR 4479), which amended the physical qualifications for drivers and the instructions for the medical examination report to clarify that drivers may not use Schedule I drugs and be qualified to drive commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) under any circumstances.
DATES: Effective February 22, 2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule, call or e-mail Angela Ward, Nurse Consultant, Medical Programs Office, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, telephone: 202–366–3109; email: email@example.com.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FMCSA's recent rule harmonizing Schedule I drug requirements included several changes to the Instructions to the Medical Examination Report for Commercial Driver Fitness Determination, form 649– F (6045). Although no changes were to be made to the form itself, due to a printing error, several changes were inadvertently made. The following correction reverses those changes.
In FR Doc. 2012–1905 appearing on page 4483 in the Federal Register of Monday, January 30, 2012, in Instruction 8, correct the form in § 391.43(f) to read as follows:

WESTERN COMMITMENT SCHOLARSHIP: The Western Commitment Scholarship is a new program intended to reward students with excellent academic ability who demonstrate achievement in high school by offering 4-year scholarships towards the cost of attendance at Western Illinois University. New freshmen who submit all application materials for admission by May 15 are automatically considered for Western Commitment Scholarships. No separate scholarship application is required to be considered for a Western Commitment Scholarship. Awards are based on student's high school GPA and ACT/SAT score. High school GPA will be based on weighted or unweighted GPA, which ever is higher, and converted to a 4.0 scale. The ACT score considered is the highest composite score submitted to WIU. Students can enter as new freshmen in any semester but the Western Commitment Scholarship may only be used for Fall and Spring semesters. The scholarship will be distributed half in the fall semester and half in the spring semester. Western Commitment Scholarships are renewable for up to four years (eight semesters) of undergraduate study at WIU by maintaining eligibility requirements. Students may move up in scholarship levels if they improve their ACT/SAT scores prior to the start of the academic year. |

Economists: What they do? Economists study the production and distribution of resources, goods and services and apply economic analysis to issues in a variety of fields, such as education, health, development and the environment. Some economists study the cost of products, health care or energy. Others examine employment levels, business cycles or exchange rates. Still others analyze the effect of taxes, inflation or interest rates. |

Quotable "Quotes"(mouseover to read the quote) "I keep saying the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians.
People think I'm joking, but who would've guessed that computer engineers would've been the sexy job of the 1990s?"
"The ability to take data - to be able to understand it, to process it,
to extract value from it, to visualize it, to communicate it's going to be a hugely important skill in the
next decades, not only at the professional level but even at the educational level for elementary school kids,
for high school kids, for college kids. Because now we really do have essentially free and ubiquitous data.
So the complimentary scarce factor is the ability to understand that data and extract value from it......
those skills - of being able to access, understand, and communicate the insights you get
from data analysis - are going to be extremely important." "Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose." "Samuelson was the Julia
Child of economics,
somehow teaching you the
basics and giving you
the feeling of becoming
an insider in a complex
culture all at the same
time. I loved the
Foundations. Like so
many others in my
cohort, I internalized
its view that if I
couldn't formulate a
problem in economic
theory mathematically, I
didn't know what I was
doing. I came to the
position that
mathematical analysis is
not one of many ways of
doing economic theory:
It is the only way.
Economic theory is
mathematical analysis.
Everything else is just
pictures and talk." "A claim for equality of material
position can be met only by a government with totalitarian powers."
"All wealth consists of desirable things;
that is, things which satisfy human wants directly or indirectly:
but not all desirable things are reckoned as wealth."
"[T]he stern reproach that I received often for not
being quite true to the new orthodoxy of neo-Keynesianism came mostly from my thesis
supervisor - the totally brilliant but vigorously intolerant Joan Robinson."
"But I fear I could not get anyone in Trinity,
or in Cambridge, very excited in the "theory" of social choice. I had to choose
quite a different subject for my research thesis, after completing my B.A.
The thesis was on "the choice of techniques," which interested Joan Robinson
as well as Maurice Dobb."
"I have learned as much in the last three years as
in any other comparable period of my life, but with an added realisation
of how little over a half century of study one has in fact managed to learn
of the whole range of economic policy issues."
"The purpose of studying economics is not to
acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions,
but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."
"I guess I should warn you, if I turn out to be particularly
clear, you've probably misunderstood what I've said."
"In 1963 and later papers, I pointed out that the
special market characteristics of medical care and medical insurance could be
explained by reference to differences in information among the parties involved."
"I do not know which makes a man more conservative - to know
nothing but the present, or nothing but the past." |

Jack Spade has come out with a lovely little accessory in the form of this leather matchbook cover. While it is does not have the flashiest design, nor the largest, the cover is made from hand-tanned leather and has the foil-stamped word "fire" on the front, as well as the designer's name on the back. It comes with a book of Japanese matches and makes a great alternative to a bulky lighter for those who like to keep fire at their fingertips. Price: $10.

Jack Spade is the male counterpart to the heavily female-centric line from designer Kate Spade. The Pi Keychain could certainly appeal to anyone, regardless of gender. The ring and the key on it, which is un-filed, are both made of sterling silver and the ring is engraved with the first twenty-one digits of the number pi: 3.14159265358979323846. It is a subtly flashy keychain, perfect for those who don't like to have unnecessarily large things dangling with they keys. Price: $90.

This summer's prolonged heat waves have put enormous strain on the country's power grid, a network in need of repair and innovation. But the power industry is risk averse and is rewarded for being so. Becky Harrison explains. Photo: Getty Images.

B y the numbers The number of acres purchased Sept. 30 by the state Department of Natural Resources, state Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Forterra. The land is in the headwaters of the Yakima Basin watershed and will be designated as the Teanaway Community Forest. The acquisition is the largest single land transaction in the state in 45 years and is the end result of more than a decade of collaboration involving many organizations and individuals, according to a Department of Natural Resources news release.

MENA Mashup: Bibi, Karzai, and, the P5+1
1:45 am in Uncategorized by CTuttle
Mere hours after the ink dried on that Security Pact, in which Kerry assured… No combat role for US forces in Afghanistan, Karzai threw a hard fastball right under Kerry's voluminous jowls…
United States gives Afghanistan year-end deadline for crucial security deal
Karzai's surprise move, which came just a day after U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said the pact's language had been agreed upon, suddenly threw its future into question and seemed certain to reignite tensions with Washington.
…In a statement certain to irritate the United States, which is eager to clinch the deal as soon as possible, Karzai told the assembly any agreement on the status of U.S. forces would have to wait until after a presidential election in April.
"This pact should be signed when the election has already taken place, properly and with dignity," Karzai, who cannot run in the 2014 vote under the constitution, told the elders…
A senior Afghan official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Karzai intended to leave the pact unsigned until he is sure the international community will not interfere in the election. Karzai's spokesman, Aimal Faizi, confirmed that, adding that the grand assembly and parliament also had to approve the pact.
"Once we are assured of peace and security, and transparent elections, then President Karzai will sign this pact after the election if this is approved by the Loya Jirga and passed by the parliament," Faizi said.
He did not explain how Karzai intended to sign the document after a new president had been elected.
Karzai has appeared wary of being too closely associated with the security agreement, which would formally invite foreign forces to stay in Afghanistan.
"President Karzai just doesn't want to own the agreement," said Kate Clark of the Kabul-based Afghanistan Analysts Network think tank. "He kept handing the responsibility for agreeing or not agreeing to the agreement to the people in the hall, to the delegates of the Loya Jirga."
Once a weasel politician, always a politician…! Speaking of which…
Obama Promises To Respect 'Dignity' of Afghans If U.S. Troops Stay
President promises U.S. troops won't enter Afghan homes except under 'extraordinary circumstances'
President Barack Obama sent a letter to President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday, striking an empathetic and diplomatic note about how American troops will conduct themselves in Afghanistan, as the two countries near an agreement for a continuing U.S. presence there.
In the days before the U.S. and Afghanistan agreed on language for a bilateral agreement to keep U.S. troops in the country for at least another decade, there were reports that the Afghan government would demand an apology for the suffering of the Afghan people during military operations. Obama's letter stopped short of that, but promised to treat Afghans with "dignity."
"Over time, and especially in the recent past, we have redoubled our efforts to ensure that Afghan homes are respected by our forces and that our operations are conducted consistent with your law," Obama said in his letter(6pg PDF), which was posted on the Afghan government's website. "We will continue to make every effort to respect the sanctity and dignity of Afghans in their homes and daily lives, just as we do for our own citizens."
Obama promised that under the new agreement, U.S. forces would not enter Afghan homes for military operations, except under "extraordinary circumstances involving urgent risk to life and limb of U.S. nationals." One of the chief complaints among Afghans has been the practice of "night raids" where coalition troops enter homes in the middle of the night searching for suspected insurgents.
Now, if y'all believe that, I've got a slighty used bridge for sale, real cheap…!
Let's look at what the WH had to say about it, Stateside…

Chairs are out and yoga balls are in.
At least that's the case for one middle school class at Sacred Heart School in Sioux City.
"When I sit in a chair, I just get kind of bored and don't concentrate as well. But for some reason, when I sit on the yoga ball I feel like I can concentrate lot better," said 6th Grade Anna Plathe.
Through the school's "PE for Life Committee", the school got the balls to help students engage in more physical activity and stay alert in class.
"Studies find that kids concentrate a lot longer. They're less fidgety. We thought what better way to try it out in our school," said Natalia Toddly, Sacred Heart's Literacy teacher.
Toddly added that yes, bouncing on them is definitely encouraged.
"Absolutely! That's the whole purpose of it to just do subtle bouncing and to let yourself release that energy."
But, if bouncing gets out of control, it is three strikes and the ball is gone.
Toddly said that students get the option to use them.
Most though said they prefer them and hope one day all classrooms will use them.
"I like it. Especially when you're switching classes, then you don't have to go back to a chair you can go just go back to a yoga ball," said 6th Grader, Julianna Hurlburt.

America Demands: Obama, Build Us a Death Star
- 12.13.12
A petition demanding the President Barack Obama administration build a Death Star like the one in Star Wars reached 25,000-plus signatures Thursday, a threshold requiring the government to respond whether it will build the fictional weapon capable of annihilating planets with its super laser.
The petition on the White House website's "We the People" page demands the Death Star project begin by 2016.
"By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense," the petition says.
The administration promises it will publicly respond to petitions if they get 25,000 signatures in a month's time.
The Death Star, the Galactic Empire's "ultimate weapon," was a space station first appearing in the 1977 Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.

text: What is fluoride? Fluoride is an abundant- naturally occurring element found in rocks, soil and fresh and ocean water. When fluoride is present in drinking water at optimal levels, it has been shown to promote oral health by preventing tooth decay. Is my water fluoridated? We have supplied fluoridated water to San Francisco residents and the majority of its wholesale customers since the early 1950s. Since November 1, 2005, we have fluoridated the remaining 20% of our customer service area, except for those in Half Moon Bay. Is fluoride OK for my pets? Fluoride in levels administered for drinking water is safe for humans and all animals. Over 50 years of research and experience have shown fluoridation at optimal levels does not harm people or the environment. Leading scientists and health professionals, professional organizations and governments around the world support community water fluoridation. What do health professionals say about fluoride? Medical and dental experts endorse water fluoridation as the single, most effective public health measure to improve oral health. Through more than 50 years of extensive research, drinking fluoridated water has been scientifically proven to be safe and effective. Why fluoridate drinking water?

The psychology department need only look across campus to have access to people who understand how to set up an important research project.

The Importance of Wireframes/Concept Designs
<< by Des Taggart on January 27th, 2009
An often overlooked approach or initial step to creating a website or a simple landing page is the process of wireframing or "concept designing". Without a thorough examination of what is weighed by the client for wants AND needs–in terms of the design phase, can cost you and your client considerable time and ultimately money.
Creating a site or a landing page in the design may "lengthen" the overall process, but it will also afford you and your client the opportunity to explore the necessary entities required for a simple online presence. Whether the placement of a logo, utilization of the overall brand to include font, colors, images, icons are the solid core necessities. But the ability to provide various concept designs that provide different methodologies for forms for example has proven to be an often overlooked approach and for all intents and purposes a required approach in the process. What does the form entail as far as form fields … How long is the form? Does it exceed the "fold" of your screen view? Is the "submit button" large enough or perhaps attractive enough by both color use and/or language used. Providing various landing page or site concept designs, allows you and the client to look into whether "submit" is an acceptable performer for enticing the viewing masses–versus that of perhaps "I Am Interested" for instance.
Whether exploring form requirements and placement, or utilizing various techniques for images and headlines, being able to exercise the process of designing various concept designs for a simple landing page or a website, gives you and the client a great deal of freedom and more importantly an excuse to communicate — not that that is important or anything!
