Reviews for Garden Tuna Macaroni Salad
Sort By :
I didn't have radishes, and did not use all that pepper, but other than that I made it as the recipe states. I am glad I didn't add more pepper because the onions gave it enough of a bite. I wonder if there is a misprint in the recipe. I certainly wouldn't use more than 1/2 - 3/4 of a tsp. The flavor was delicious and the vegetables complemented the tuna. Good recipe!
I made this to take to a potluck on Sunday and it went over very well. I also left out the radishes. The only other change I made was to use gluten free elbow macaroni (the brown rice kind). We thought this salad was delicious!
I put in 3.25 cups uncooked macaroni, use canned salmon and 1 cup of each chopped celery, chopped pepper and shredded carrots. I also leave out radishes and reduce pepper to 1/2 tsp. All other ingredients as same in recipe. I make it several times in the summer.

Detroit � Tuesday night wasn�t exactly conventional baseball. The Tigers were booed off the field after the top of the first inning, trailing 5-0, only to score the next 14 runs � thumping the Dodgers in a rout at Comerica Park.
Here�s one tour of the bases worth of strange brew that made up nine fascinating innings.
1. On second thought ...
The Tigers second-rally started strange enough, with Torii Hunter seemingly thrown out at second base trying to stretch a single into a double � only to be proven safe after a lengthy replay. The throw to shortstop Miguel Rojas arrived in plenty of time, but the tag did not. Hunter, of course, knew it right away, and let the Tigers dugout know immediately.
�I felt my foot hit the bag, and he tagged me in my private,� Hunter said, laughing.
�I got hit in the babymaker.�
Maybe that was the break the Tigers needed.
Seven batters later, the Tigers had tied the game at 5.
The Tigers added two more runs in the third, and four more in the fourth � when they batted around for a second time.
2. Bottom feeders
The Tigers offense, so often, goes through Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez. And with Victor Martinez out, the Tigers have struggled mightily to score.
That�s why the bottom of the order�s contributions Tuesday were so impressive.
In fact, get this: Through four innings, each of the Nos. 6-9 hitters had batted three times, and none had made an out � outside of a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly. All told in that stretch, they were 8-for-8 with six RBIs. Nick Castellanos led the way with three hits.
�Miguel, J.D. and Victor can�t do it all the time,� said Alex Avila, who had an RBI single and two walks.
�Everybody�s gotta contribute at some point.�
3. Did that really happen?
Hard not to think of Jack Buck, calling the Kirk Gibson homer in the 1988 World Series.
�I don�t believe what I just saw!�
Of all the oddities that happened Tuesday night, taking the cake had to be J.D. Martinez and Cabrera � who entered the game with a combined 17 triples in a combined 16 major-league seasons � each legging out a triple. Both hit their shots to Triple Alley, in deep right-center. In the clubhouse after, players gave Cabrera�s triple the edge in style points, because he actually outran a slow-bouncing throw to the amusement of the crowd. Still, both made it rather easily.
�That�s a credit to our ballpark,� Avila said, laughing. �I�ve had some home runs taken away, but we might have a few more triples.�
4. Around the horn
■Dodgers pitchers allowed 14 earned runs Tuesday night; their ace, Clayton Kershaw, has allowed 18 all season.
■The Tigers scored 14 runs without a home run � something they haven�t done since waaaaaay back in ... uhh ... OK, last September, against the Royals, when they had 16 runs without going deep once.
■The Tigers actually could�ve scored much more, but Hunter and Ian Kinsler both hit into double plays with the bases loaded.
■Per Fangraphs, at the end of the first inning, the Tigers� odds of winning the game were 11.3 percent. At the end of the fourth, they were 96 percent.

Donations to the annual event were down by 75 percent, said Randy Winn, one of the organizers, so more than 2,000 cans of food were purchased from Aldi. Donations came in from local schools and businesses such as Mt. Vernon Health Care. More than 90 volunteers from the Mt. Vernon Township High School student council, the MVTHS FFA, the Zadok Casey Middle School Beta Club and Corinthian Baptist Church showed up to help, though late deliveries of food hindered them a little. A group of seventh and eighth grade students from Dodds Grade School used their bus to take 30 baskets to residents of Rome Meadows.

NEWARK, AR (KAIT) – A lengthy cleanup process is set to
begin shortly at Cedar Ridge High School in Newark.
Administrators canceled classes there after local
firefighters put out a blaze inside the high school building early Friday
The cause of the fire is still undetermined at this time.
Investigators are working to figure out how it started, while administrators
are deciding how to repair the damage it left behind.
"I've never seen fire damage up close like this before to
classrooms," said Dr. Ann Webb, the Cedar Ridge school superintendent, "and it's
pretty devastating to me."
As the sun rose Friday, the smell of smoke still wafted
through the windows and doors left open to aerate the Cedar Ridge High School
Hours earlier, fire crews entered the building to extinguish
flames contained in two classrooms.
"I got the call around 3:34 a.m., and all that I was told
was my high school was filled with smoke and the fire departments were here and
the police were already here and did they need to call someone else?" Dr. Webb recalled.
"I said no, I am on my way."
When she got to campus, she saw several fire trucks and
emergency vehicles surrounding the high school.
She initially thought the incident started because of some
minor glitch, but then found out a fire destroyed two classrooms and filled the
rest of the building with soot and smoke.
"Everything is going to have to be wiped off and cleaned up –
every book in the library, every shelf, every chair," Dr. Webb said. "The
entire system is going to have to be reviewed and plus the electrical system."
The fire was contained to the classrooms designated for
business and the Jobs for America's Graduates (JAG) program, which housed a
number of computers and other technology.
The school's resource officer first discovered the fire
shortly after 3 a.m. Friday. He stopped by the school during his overnight
patrols to write a report and smelled smoke.
"He called the police department and asked for the fire
department to be dispatched," Dr. Webb said, "and so I told him this morning, I
said you are my hero."
Dr. Webb lined up a cleaning service Friday morning to come
into the school and begin cleaning all 76,000 square feet of the building,
which may affect classes next week.
"I want to assure the parents that there will be all the
inspectors will be called," she said. "The Department of Education has been
called, and our facilities people have been called. It will be inspected, and
it will be safe before I allow our students to reenter the building or our
faculty either."
Classes will resume Monday as normal for most Cedar Ridge
students, including the elementary school students who also got the day off
The high school students, however, will likely take a field
trip Monday and Tuesday to the Clinton Presidential Library in Little Rock
because they will be unable to reenter their building.
"We're going to have education on Monday and Tuesday," Dr.
Webb added, "even though we won't be able to go back into our building,
The superintendent also wanted to express her appreciation
to all the first responders who came to the scene, especially Newark Fire Chief
James Langston.
The state fire marshal's office will assist him with the
investigation to determine the cause of Friday's fire.

Greensburg —
Following Wednesday's eight and a half inches of snowfall, the Decatur County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) established a new call-in line local residents can use to learn present travel conditions.
EMA director Rob Duckworth told the Daily News that Decatur Countians can call 812-222-7623 (ROAD) at any time to receive the latest travel updates or advisories.
The recording, Duckworth said, informs callers of any travel restrictions as well as the conditions of roads throughout the county. Duckworth said if any specific roads are closed or have become impassable, the recording will be updated to reflect that information. Callers are advised not to leave messages as they will not be returned.
The EMA director set up the line in response to numerous calls placed to the Greensburg Police Department, Decatur County Sheriff's Department and Indiana State Police Versailles Post Wednesday and Thursday. Duckworth asked that residents seeking information regarding travel conditions use the new hotline in lieu of calling law enforcement offices.
EMA members met with other county officials Thursday afternoon, electing to downgrade the county's travel status to "Orange." Under the "Orange" or "Watch" designation, motorists are encouraged to travel only if necessary.
At press time, Duckworth said he expected the "Watch" designation to persist into Friday morning.

(While it is impossible to document via polling, we believe strongly that people have less of a sense for sequestration than they did for the fiscal cliff because it lacks a catchy name. Never underestimate the shallowness of the American public's news consumption habits.)
The sea of numbers above should serve as a reminder that, for most Americans, the sequester doesn't exist. All of the talk about it coming out of Washington about whom to blame is lost on these people — another fight in the nation's capital that they don't believe will have any actual impact in their lives.
(For what it's worth, the poll shows that 45 percent say Republicans in Congress should be blamed for the sequester, while 32 percent blame Obama. That's a far less sizable edge than the 26-point blame-game advantage that Obama enjoyed over congressional GOPers on the fiscal cliff.)
Whether the lack of interest and knowledge regarding the sequester will change once it actually hits later this week remains to be seen, although these numbers suggest it's got a long way to go to even be a relevant issue for most people in the country. A very long way.
The poll was conducted by telephone Feb. 21-24, among a random sample of 1,000 adults. The results have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

The PLO is beginning the process of filing a lawsuit against Foreign Minister
Avigdor Liberman, Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported Sunday, citing a
political adviser to PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
Although the report
offered no details on what the lawsuit would seek grievances for, or in what
legal forum or jurisdiction it would be filed, Nimir Hammad told Ma'an that the
PLO had appointed a legal committee and that lawyers would consult with legal
experts from the United States, Israel and Europe.
Discussing the
possibility of a lawsuit, Hammad told Ma'an, "The international community should
not remain silent before incitement."
Earlier this month, Hammad said
Abbas's security had been stepped up following comments by Liberman calling for
Abbas to be replaced. There is no chance for peace as long as Abbas is the
Palestinian Authority president, Liberman said from New York following Abbas's
speech to the UN General Assembly.
In September, Liberman told Army Radio
that Abbas is "living on borrowed time" and that nothing could save the PA
president's "rotten regime."
Leaders in Jerusalem also came down on
Liberman following his statement in New York, primarily from Defense Minister
Ehud Barak who distanced the government from the foreign minister's comments.
Liberman's attacks on Abbas, Barak said, harm Israeli interests.
A source
in Liberman's office issued the following response: "Since the Palestinians
understand that Liberman is revealing to the whole world the true face of Abbas
as a peace obstacle, they are losing their heads and taking ridiculous
Herb Keinon contributed to this report.

Creating the Whole Dining Experience
CCRC communities in the Westminster Communities of Florida renovate, add flexibility and retrain staff to better serve residents.
ORLANDO, Fla.—In the 11 CCRCs in the Westminster Communities of Florida, the foodservice department is undergoing renovations to enhance resident satisfaction.
"Our mantra is we are only as good as the last meal that we served," said Mark Holmes, creative dining specialist. "That's how we keep ourselves pushing forward because although lunch may have been great, if the soup isn't warm at dinner than the whole dinner was bad. We don't sit back. We go to the residents and ask what's important to them."
Likes and dislikes: Residents told Holmes that the things that were important to them included things like colorful staff uniforms, earlier dining times to fit their social activities, and a friendly and polite relationship between the staff and residents. "They want french fries when they want them, but they also want plain steamed vegetables as well," he added. "We have a lot of people who want meatless options. What really comes out is they want our dining program to fit into their lifestyles, to have flexibility and wellness for those who want that focus. They want to make sure that we are not just feeding them but offering an experience."
Because of these conversations, Holmes and the dining services team started making significant changes to the foodservice programs. In order to accommodate many of these changes, renovations were needed.
"We treat each communities based on its culture and its core instead of going in and saying, 'this is Westminster core and your dining room is going to be the same as everybody else,'" Holmes said. "We sit down with a group of residents and management staff and ask them what they like and don't like. We don't just come in and say here's a cookie-cutter approach."
Putting together all the pieces: One of the bigger projects that Westminster has done is Bahama Place at Westminster Shores in St. Petersburg. Bahama Place is a new building that was constructed in 2009 to replace a 40-year-old building. In this community the dining room is like a restaurant where chefs are in the front of the house cooking meals to order. The dining room offers full-service and self-service options as well as a display kitchen. "A lot of CCRCs have old steam wells," Holmes said. "For us, it's all right out there in the dining room. We've introduced induction chafers, warmers and cookers. We have a separate dessert area and we've worked with vendors to bring in some high-end items."
Because of the equipment and layout changes, Holmes was able to change the menu as well. "We found that people's version of a gourmet dining experience varied tremendously, and it wasn't always associated with food. What they really wanted was flexibility. They didn't want a menu that repeated every 28 days. They wanted to have things cooked to order."
There is a weekly menu at Bahama Place, but the menu is set up with resident preferences and flexibility in mind. "On the first Monday, the choices are beef Burgundy with egg noodles, roast pork loin with apple cranberry dressing, turkey Brie panini sandwich and a Texas barbecue burger," Holmes said. "This will repeat for three weeks. Sometimes what happens in a 28-day cycle is that meatloaf is on a Monday of the first week, and you've got to wait for 28 more days before you can get meatloaf. Typically in a household you only have about 20 favorites. We take these entrée selections and we run them for about four weeks along with an additional daily chef special that changes every day. What's being served on Monday this week may not be served at all next week. Then we have some things that are always available like grilled chicken Caesar salad. On Sundays we always do two carved items. This allows us to change our menus to allow for fresh items as they become available."
Flexibility and choices were components of many of the other renovations as well. At the Crossroads Café, an alternative dining option was implemented. The café offers a combination of a bistro and grab-and-go options. Other communities have an action station, which is five feet of counter space on which something such as a carving
station is set up. Another location has a made-to-order omelet station.
"The dining experience is not just about the food but also the décor and service," Holmes said. "The point that we've gotten to now is a combination of décor, interior design and customer service specific to the customers that we are serving as well as our menus, programs and availability of food."
Customer satisfaction training: Another component of Westminster's renovation projects is training. "We have developed a customer service training program pulling from my experience as a culinary trained chef as well as working with older adults. We developed a very specific customer training for older adults for our staff to learn how to serve older adults," Holmes said. "When you serve three meals a day in a retirement community and people are paying for those meals, we want to make sure that we focus on the relationship because they have to come back there."
The training focuses on how to serve different types of customers. "If we are waiting on a resident with memory loss and we've taken the order for the whole table we teach them to go back and confirm with that resident that they've not changed their mind. If we have somebody who is hard of hearing, we train our staff to get down so that people can read lips. If it's somebody who is sight impaired, we read menus to them or make recommendations. We focus on each resident as an individual. We do that through relationships."

How convient that Mr Sullivan once again takes a personal stand and lets us taxpayers pay for it. He could be the poster child for why people are fed up with our government officials.

Ridiculous! What does he expect to accomplish with this appeal. Other than show the unions he is 'with them'
What a crock! He would never get my vote for anything!

what do you think drove Raley's to close Nob Hill? the high cost of the union. Next thing to come will be a new union contract with pay increases and then the price of milk goes up. Thanks Matt.

Shared a 750mL bottle of this w/ BigDoug @ the Royale in St. Louis, MO. Poured from the Red/Green/Yellow Labeled bottle w/ a Giant "H" in the middle into a Shaker Glass. Has no sign of a freshness date.
Aroma- Malt, hop, and a mild blend of oak come around here. Nothing distinct in this aroma and very shy attributes.
Appearance- Pours a 1 finger head that dies quickly. Has a dark orange/copper body with good clarity. Leaves tons of suds behind.
Flavor- Very sweet flavor including American hops but stay as a light-medium flavor in here. A bit of cedar/oak come around towards the end. Medium Bitterness at most.
Mouthfeel- Medium Bodied, Light-Medium Carbonation, Smooth, and a nice barrel attribute with hops are left on the palate.
Overall Impression- Not one of my favorites from Cigar City. Since I thought the Jai Alai was an A+ IPA, you rarely see a beer this profound and world-class to be changed for the better. Glad I got to enjoy but wouldn't grab this as my first choice if around an isle with other C.C. beers.

Bottle shared by afdempse. Thanks Adam!
The beer is transparent and orange colored, sporting a half inch of white head. Lasting retention and ample lacing.
The aroma is unique and wonderful. A bold scent of freshly lit cigars and cigar smoke take center stage, followed by floral hops.
The taste is not quite as delectable and intriguing as the aroma, but well balanced and enjoyable nonetheless. I can understand why some may dislike this beer, as it is certainly not for everyone. When viewed solely as an IPA or DIPA, this will not hold its own when matched against the upper tier brews of this ilk. That said, Humidor IPA is a complex, unique, and creative brew to be sipped and savored. I applaud Cigar City for this "outside the box" beer. While I was not expecting to enjoy this nearly as much as I did, I would certainly have this again. Recommended.

Thanks for opening this with me, DarthKostrizer!
Dark, hazy copper and auburn with a moderately sized very light khaki colored head that leaves small smears of lace down the glass. This is a very pretty beer, and the appearance is its best aspect, unfortunately.
I knew this would be an unpleasant drinking experience from the first moment I shoved my nose into the glass. The aroma is of boiled cabbage, old, crusted Heinz Ketchup, some salt, and a bit of cedar. This doesn't smell like anything I want to put in my mouth.
The flavor isn't quite as horrific as the aroma, as the damp cedar dominates the flavor. There's still significant vegetable (cabbage, earth, and old tomato) flavors as well, but the cedar flavor lingers on and on.
Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Decent enough.
I will decline a pour of this beer the next time it is offered. This was perhaps the worst IPA I've ever had.

poured into Stone IPA stemware. thanks to sendsilk for the hookup!
A - hazy rusty colored body with a bubbly, white, thin head that faded to thin cap; light spotty lacing
S - cedar and black pepper(lots of both), cigar, leather
T - some malty flavors, probably from the age, but not unwanted; definitely a strong hops presence there still as well though; the cedar is much lighter than the almost overpowering aroma would suggest
M - light-medium body; light carbonation; short, drying linger
O - i liked the proportion of hops to malt to cedar; a very interesting beer that did not disappoint; strong flavors but surprisingly drinkable; a must-try if you can find one

Poured into a tulip glass from a 750ml bottle.
Pours a gorgeous dark strong cooper color with some nice orange hues and some slight haze. There is a nice 0.5 inch head that is white and nicely dense. There is also some chunkier bubbles sprinkled around and the head slowly recedes to a thin film.
Interesting aroma. Starts off with some Jai Alai typical tropical notes. Mango and tangerine with some slight tangerine. However, different than the base beer there is a strong cedar notes to the aroma. Very fresh smelling with some nice grassy notes and clean wood notes. Quite interesting but nice.
The flavor is interesting as well but thankfully the wood notes only play a background to some nice tropical hop notes. Pretty nice and bitter. There are some woody notes that can be perceived through the beer as well as some spice intermingled with the mango and tangerine notes and tons of grapefruit and some orange. It definitely has some typical IPA notes but it is also quite different and interesting. Mouthfeel is nice and clean with crisp bubbles that helps the brew.
Interesting brew. Notes of wood really give this beer a different dimension especially for an IPA. Still pretty god brew and hoppy enough.

I'm back with another installment of the MMA Tete-A-Tete: Coarsening the Discourse. Eugene S. Robinson author of Fight: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You'd Get Your Ass Kicked for Askingis my counter-part for this edition.
As always if you enjoy this sort of gum flapping, subscribe to the MMA Nation YouTube channel. Subscribers are the only ones who can watch us shoot these things live.
Topics covered include:
- The infamous care/don't care preview of UFC on Fuel TV Nogueira vs. Werdum
Even I'm embarrassed by how little we know about this card going into it. Eugene first calls out, then defends our "fan-centric" approach.
- Jason High vs Erick Silva
The hard-working, likable and intelligent High might be sent by Joe Silva to permanently derail the aspirations of once-highly touted but now snakebit Erick Silva.
Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante vs Thiago Silva
Epic battle between two Brazilians who can't seem to pass a drug test. Eugene thinks it'll come down to who is the most jacked up in the head and who is most dependent on the psychological edge provided by marijuana and/or PEDs.
Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs Fabricio Werdum
The coaches of the flop second season of TUF Brasil battle it out and we talk about the infamous Big Nog bone break loss to Frank Mir and why Werdum should be careful about wishing for a title shot.
Jon Fitch and Jacob Volkmann vs the UFC plus Mayhem Miller's surgery
Why a fighter's union is the only thing that could help even things out and why that won't happen. Plus lots of random rambles that almost but never quite add up to anything.

The first six minutes of the third period of Game 3 between the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers had a common theme: Blood.
First, there was an impressive synchronized high-stick sequence, which felled Rangers forward Chris Kreider and Bruins forward Tyler Seguin in unison. Watch carefully, because there are a lot of sticks in action here:
On the follow-through of Seguin's shot, his stick rode up and under the visor of Kreider, who lay on the ice for a few minutes as he bled. He went to the locker room for repairs and was yet to return in the last few minutes of the third period, where the Bruins took a late 2-1 lead.
Not long after, Bruins center Patrice Bergeron got himself into a visor-on-visor collision with Rangers defenseman Steve Eminger, which required considerable cleanup for Bergeron:
No penalties on either play. Because this is hockey, and there will be blood.

Bob Dixson's heart sank when he heard that tornadoes had ripped through Alabama and several neighboring states on April 27, 2011.
Dixson, the keynote speaker at last week's "Designing After Disaster" workshop in Birmingham, survived his hometown of Greensburg, Kansas being leveled by an EF5 tornado in May 2007.
Winds measuring 205 miles per hour left a path of destruction that stretched for 1.7 miles.
Nearly 95 percent of the buildings in the community, including homes, a school, a hospital and all businesses, churches and municipal structures, were reduced to rubble.
Meteorologists later determined that the eye of the storm took nearly two minutes to move across town. As it slowly churned, it effectively lifted an entire city 60,000 feet in the air and then scattered it for the next 20 miles.
Five years later, Greensburg is considered one of the best examples in the nation of how communities can recover from a disaster.
Rocky Milliman, Alabama's disaster recovery coordinator, and Beth Stukes, chairman of Cordova's Long Term Recovery Committee, both said during last week's seminar that they were inspired by their respective visits to Greensburg in 2011.
Dixson, who has served as mayor of Greensburg since 2008, said he believes it is his duty to uplift local leaders who are involved in rebuilding efforts.
However, he cautioned, "There is no cookie-cutter plan to helping any community recover."
Green technology was the path Greensburg residents chose to take to a brighter future.
The city council passed a resolution shortly after their storm stating that all government buildings would be constructed according to LEED platinum specifications.
More than 800 of the city's 1,574 residents and 60 businesses have committed to using sustainable design practices.
Dixson noted that some people believe the town even changed its name to reinforce becoming the greenest city in America, but Greensburg was in fact named by its founder, Don Green, more than 100 years ago.
Dixson said that one of the first sustainable resources that residents learned to tap into in the midst of the devastation was their relationship with each other.
"That's the thing that maintained us and gave us focus. It wasn't about possessions because nobody had any left. It became about faith, family and friends and how you bind together to make a better place for all of us to live and work," he said.
For nearly three months, several hundred Greensburg residents gathered two to three times a week for planning meetings, which were held in a circus tent provided by FEMA.
Dixson said one of the most difficult battles community members faced was accepting that the life and the town they had were not coming back. However, they chose to see the disaster as an opportunity to return to the values that had been instilled in them by their ancestors and to chart a new course for future generations.
For example, Dixson said that for several decades prior to the storm, Greensburg's biggest export was its youth.
"It gave us a chance to address some of the systematic problems that every community faces and to do it by transcending politics," he said.
Five years into the rebuilding process, Dixson is often asked when he believes recovery will be complete. His answer: never.
Dixson said his goal is to foster an attitude of growth in Greensburg because his belief is that if it isn't growing, then it's dying.
He encouraged local recovery leaders to keep their citizens informed and engaged in their respective rebuilding efforts and to celebrate every success along the way, whether it's a grand opening or a new neighbor.
He warned them to not expect any federal or state agency to make their communities whole but rather to view them as partners in the process.
Finally, Dixson encouraged them to not let today's reality cloud their vision of the future.
"Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision is just passing time. But action with vision can change your community, your state, our nation and the world," Dixson said.

Sarah Lewis, DSPT Adjunct Professor (1947-2011)
If you would like to attend the memorial service for Sarah Lewis on December 4, 2011 please email with "Sarah's Memorial" in the subject line. You will receive an official evite with information about the service and RSVPs.
Reflection by Fr. Luke Buckles, OP
Sarah Lewis was born in Texas and attended the University of California, Berkeley where she majored in Italian literature. She would tell her story to her class and so I feel that it would be acceptable to repeat the first part.
In her last year at the University of California she fell in love with a fellow student, but the relationship ended. She was feeling like she needed a long retreat. Providentially she found herself at a Catholic Sisters' Retreat House near Sacramento. She was invited to stay for a year earning room and board in the tasks of hospitality offered by the Sisters and being able to attend many spiritual retreats and talks. Although a committed member of the Episcopal Church this was the time when she first encountered and grew in devotion to the saints and various spiritualties of our Catholic tradition.
In the late 80's she came to the Graduate Theological Union and wrote an MA thesis comparing Buddhist spirituality and discernment with the method of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Sarah's interests include ecumenical and inter-religious dialogue. She was also very dedicated to the Catholic understanding of the relationship between prayer, spirituality, and the study of theology.
Last summer I had the joy of teaching the Pray Like a Mystic class with Sarah for the final time. After returning to Rome I learned from her friends in Berkeley that she had taken a sudden turn in her health and was admitted to the hospital. Her friend Laura told me that in the weeks before she died she would add to her reflections about the Lord and faith and expressions of gratitude for the presence and prayers of friends her characteristic ability and appreciation to make puns and jokes. When she was told that she would be transferred from the hospital to a hospice program where she would have more independent living her response was, "and if I don't make it then I believe I will have truly independent living in the Lord" In the last hours of her life she was with friends and was praying right before she died the 23rd Psalm. May the Lord provide a place of rest and peace for a sheep who in her own words "as a sheep from the late 60's in Berkeley, could only be led by the Lord."
- Fr. Luke Buckles, OP, Rome, November 9, 2011.

Public Abstract:
The understanding of the biological basis of stem cell differentiation into specialized cell types and adult somatic cell reprogramming to a pluripotent state is opening new horizons in regenerative medicine and is a key step toward "personalized" stem cell-based therapies to treat diseases for which there is currently no cure. Genetic neuromuscular disorders include a large number of diseases (e.g. muscular dystrophies) that invariably lead children to the wheelchair and eventually death. Likewise, the age-related decline in muscle mass and function has detrimental effect on the overall performance and life span in elderly populations. Stem cell-mediated regeneration of muscles in these patients is the most awaited therapeutic approach, but effective applications are limited by technical and ethical issues. Thus, the potential to reprogram diseased muscles back to early embryonic, stem cell-like, states is a promising avenue to cure fatal muscular diseases. Furthermore, the facile generation of large culture of muscle stem cells from skeletal muscles of patients affected by fatal neuromuscular diseases is important for in vitro disease modeling, behind the obvious direct therapeutic potential. Quite paradoxically, no evidence exists that skeletal muscle cells could be reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells with the existing technologies, suggesting that skeletal muscle cells are resistant to induced pluripotency. Our preliminary evidence indeed indicates that skeletal muscles are refractory to induced pluripotency and points to an "epigenetic restriction" of pluripotency that is established during the commitment toward a terminal differentiated phenotype. This proposal will shed light on the mechanism underpinning the antagonism between the cellular factors that induce pluripotency and those factors and events that restrict pluripotency, promote differentiation into skeletal muscles and maintain the terminally differentiated phenotype typical of skeletal muscles. This study will fill an important gap existing in our current knowledge on the basic mechanism that governs the transition between the pluripotency typical of stem cells and the cellular specialization of differentiated cells, and viceversa. The knowledge generated by our proposal will create the molecular rationale for the generation of muscle stem cells from hESCs and from skeletal muscles. As such, it will have a strong impact in the regenerative medicine for neuromuscular diseases, as it will provide the molecular insight to devise optimal strategies for stem-cell mediated regeneration in the treatment of muscular disorders.
Statement of Benefit to California:
This proposal is providing the basic knowledge that is necessary for the generation of muscle stem cells from embryonic or adult somatic cells, for translational purpose (cell mediated regeneration of diseased muscles) or in vitro modeling of neuromuscular diseases using patient-derived cells. As such, this study is an important step toward the applications of fundamental principles in stem cell biology to regenerative medicine in neuromuscular diseases. The increased life span in the population of developing countries and states, such as California, poses a number of new issues related to the health control and social assistance in elderly population. For instance, the age-associated muscle atrophy (sarcopenia), and the muscle catabolism occurring as a consequence of chronic diseases (i.e. cancer cachexia, AIDS or chronic infections, terminal stages of cardiovascular diseases) or prolonged pharmacological treatments (i.e. chemotherapy) lead to a reduced performance, increased morbidity, and request for medical and social assistance for an increasing percentage of the Californian population. Thus, the identification of pharmacological strategies toward regenerating aged or diseased skeletal muscles is a critical task for the development of future health strategies in California. Furthermore, the identification of stem cell-mediated strategies in regenerative medicine will fuel hopes for the treatment of genetic neuromuscular diseases, such as muscular dystrophies, and will reduce the emotional, social and economic impact that patients confined to wheel chair have on public opinion and health. More in general, the discovery of pharmacological applications for stem cell employment in neuromuscular diseases will help to establish a leadership in regenerative medicine, will inspire new technologies and will give the impetus to new initiatives attracting financial resources and a new generation of stem cell scientists in California. The generation of stem cell scientists is particularly important to create and propagate in the future a productive environment fueling the research in regenerative medicine. This proposal will also be instrumental to train and commit to the stem cell research new MD and PhD scientists that will provide a valuable resource to propel the advances in regenerative medicine in California.
Review Summary:
Project Synopsis: In this application, the Principal Investigator (PI) proposes to characterize the molecular network that controls the bidirectional transition between pluripotency and commitment to the skeletal muscle lineage. In the first aim, the PI will elucidate the mechanism by which a key myogenic regulatory protein extinguishes pluripotency in human embryonic stem cells (hESC) as they differentiate into muscle cells. The second aim focuses on an exploration of functional antagonism between regulatory factors governing pluripotency and differentiation. In the third aim, the PI will attempt to identify epigenetic signatures that predict generation of muscle stem cells suitable for therapeutic applications or disease modeling. Significance & Innovation: - The proposal is based on an intriguing but highly speculative hypothesis that the pluripotent and myogenic states are mutually antagonistic. This premise seems unlikely, as the regulatory programs governing those states are separated by considerable developmental distance. - The scientific rationale is based on insights gained from ectopic expression of transcription and chromatin remodeling factors. The significance of data that will emerge from such a contrived system is not clear. - The proposal is innovative within the context of myogenesis, but an opportunity has been missed to potentially look for more widely relevant control mechanisms that could be used to identify bidirectional controls in other differentiation pathways. - If successful, the proposed research could lead to improved methods for generating muscle cells from hESC or other cell sources. Feasibility & Experimental Design: - While the preliminary data support the validity of the applicant's observations and the technical capabilities of the team, they do not convincingly support the assertion of functional antagonism apart from ectopic expression of powerful transcription factors. - Aim 3 is highly risky. There are no preliminary data to support the premise, and there are no experiments proposed to determine the functionality of the epigenetic signatures identified in muscle stem cells. - There is no discussion of potential difficulties or alternative strategies. - Some reviewers found the proposal difficult to read and noted excessively small figures. Principal Investigator (PI) and Research Team: - The PI has a strong track record in myogenesis and muscle stem cell biology and is well placed to coordinate this project. An effort level of 35% has been committed. - Two strong collaborators have been recruited to provide additional stem cell expertise and facilities, but their particular roles are not well defined. An additional collaborator provides important large-scale genomics expertise. - The research facilities are excellent and costs appear reasonable. Responsiveness to RFA: - The proposal utilizes various types of human stem cells and directly explores molecular mechanisms governing cell fate and identity. The application adequately and appropriately addresses the RFA.

"Why should you listen to the Stand?"
Fascinating, smart, great characters.
Dumas Key.
He is always a good reader. He does accents well and is as dramatic as the tale calls for.
Mother Abigail. Her faith, wisdom and courage make her the best heroine I've encountered in literature. I don't know whether King is a Christian, but the theology and humility he brought to Mother is remarkably accurate and, well... attractive, charismatic.
The Stand was one of the first books I remeber reading. Its plot and characters have never left me. Listening to this epic tale was both thrilling and engrossing. I have enjoyed most every book i've purchased on Audible, but few more so than The Stand.
"A real thriller that ends with a fizzle..."
This is a story involving the complicated and interesting life of several evil people, a falsely accused ex-cop and two misfit homicide partners. There's bad cops in high places, a truly evil killer, and for much of the book they have the upper hand.
The hunt I involves good police work under dark political clouds. All of this has the making of a 5 star story. However, at the conclusion we are left with less than 15 minutes of explanation which left much to be explained.
Scott Brick deserves 5 stars on this one.
"Great Characters, Good Mystery"
Okay, I admit to not fully believing in multiple personalities as described in this book. So right away it loses 2 stars for me. However, the characters are so well written and developed I had no problem finishing the book.
Sometimes when I am frustrated with a book it is because I really liked a lot of it. This has a fascinating premise and a great conclusion, but I felt cheated getting there.
I loved the reader heis one talented guy.
"I had no idea it was monster fantasy..."
One of my favorite reviewers, Marci from Portland loved everything about this book. So I bought it confidently thinking it was a mystery. She is right, it's a fun read, but it's pure monster fantasy.
Now I'm giving it 3 stars because of the first few chapters and it's clever humor. However, I just can't get into this kind of fantasy. Had I read reviews more carefully I would have known better than to try it.
The narration is brilliant. The main character, who dominates the entire story, is so charismatic and funny that I found myself staying with the story just to hear her speak.
So the mixed rating really means if you enjoy vampire, Xmen, zombies and ectoplasm in books, you'll love this one.
"It's a Fun, Slightly Flawed Conspiracy Novel"
Please don't misunderstand my ratings. This is indeed a fast and fun read. I really think I am just tired of grand conspiracies that seem too far fetched for my liking.
The narration rating may be misleading as well. I liked both narrators, but I prefer to listen to only one for any book. The only exception I can think of is The Help. But what really drew my ire in this production were the sound effects. They are simply unnecessary and take away from the story.
The plot is perfectly paced and filled with great characters. What irritates me is the way King and Maxwell become involved in the mystery. They are driving in a rain storm and see a stranger, a 16 year old kid running down the road with a gun. Suddenly they are involved in an international conspiracy. It is unrealistic and even trite. Another misgiving is the motivations of the villain is impossible for me to believe. There are real conspiracies that are stranger than fiction, the UN sex traffic scandal comes to mind. I just cannot think of a powerful person misusing that power because of a personal vendetta. An example of a fictional, personal motivation setting off an international event I find believable is the death of Ramius's wife in Clancy's Red October. It forced Ramius to face the truth about what Russian politics had become.
What makes this fun for me is Baldacci's characters. Far from super heroes, they are simply talented, driven professionals with the same every day problems all of us face. They are smart, resourceful, athletic and attractive, but not without flaws. And there's a romantic more than sexual tension between them I find refreshing.
So I guess I'm critical because I liked much of what I read. Does that make sense?
"A Worthy Sequel To Shibumi"
It's in the middle of many good ones.
There is a seamless connection between Travanian's style and Winslow. This seems very difficult to pull off, as any fan of Ian Fleming will note of the Bond novels that followed his death. Some other efforts that disappoint are the post Ludlam Bourne series and the last few Jack Ryan novels co authored after Clancy fell ill.
Winslow's effort is a huge success.
He never diassapoints.
"An Assassin is Born"
Absolutely, I don't miss a word or even an inflection in any part of this novel. This is important because the real genius of this novel is how Hel becomes the man he is, rather than his actions.
I enjoyed all of the scenes involving his Japanese benefactor.
His reading was brilliant, on a level with Ray Porter and Will Patton.
I simply enjoyed every moment of it.
There was a moment I cringed in embarrassment for the author when a key element of the story implied the US government was complicit in the assignation of Kennedy. I understand this was written in 1979, but it is far too unsubstantiated and convenient a tool.
"The Laotians Answer to Her Royal Spyness Mysteries"
Colin Cotterill's Dr. Siri mystery is smart, clever, funny and charming. And that's why I compare it to Rhys Bowen's wonderful "Royal Spyness " series. Like Lady Georgianna, Dr. Siri is so charismatic the story becomes secondary.
The mystery revolves around the culture, political landscape, and poverty of Laos in the 1970s. My memory of Laos in that period is dominated by war, genocide and communism. The genius of Cotterill is his bringing to life extraordinary people who not only survived the devastation but rose above it.
This is truly a gem!
"Terrific Value"
3 unabridged novels in one is great, 3 Bosch novels is fantastic. The Narrows alone is worth the credit. It's the conclusion of the The Poet story, only this time Harry Bosch leads the hunt.
A note about Len Cariou, I remembered his work as very dry, but after listening to these 3 books I stand corrected. He was great.
"Great Villain Mystery"
This story revolves around reporter Jack McEvoy and FBI agent Rachel Walling. While I read all of Connelly in order years ago, I actually listened to the sequel of The Poet, the Harry Bosch novel The Narrows, first. Even though I knew who the villain was this was a riveting story.
You don't have to listen to many of Connelly's novel in order, but it's essential to read the Poet first if you want maximum shock value.
A great audio experience...
"Two Great Detectives Deliver in Big Way"
Blood Work is one book I'll never forget, thanks in part to the great movie Eastwood starred in and directed. This story begins with 2 separate crimes, one involving Bosch, the other Terry McCaleb. Connelly does a masterful job weaving both men's stories together into one of the best mysteries in this genre I've ever read.
Davidson does a superb job reading.
