Schaeffler's Efficient Future Mobility North America Demonstration Vehicle Displays Bundled Technologies For Reduced Fuel Consumption And Answers To The CAFE Challenges
DETROIT and HERZOGENAURACH, Germany, Jan. 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- During its press conference at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Schaeffler presented a new concept vehicle. The Efficient Future Mobility North America vehicle is based on a mid-size SUV and shows the range of Schaeffler solutions for optimizing North American internal combustion engine drive trains. All of the showcased solutions are cost-effective, close to volume production and, when integrated into an all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicle, make a valuable contribution to reducing fuel consumption. The overall potential for savings is up to 15 percent, bringing North American vehicles closer to fulfilling the increasingly stringent Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards.
"Schaeffler's meticulously detailed work on drive trains based on internal combustion engines offers significant potential for reducing fuel consumption and emissions," summarizes Prof. Peter Gutzmer, CTO of Schaeffler AG. "In keeping with Schaeffler's established concept vehicles, the Efficient Future Mobility North America vehicle plays a key role in development and serves as a demonstration vehicle for the components and systems that are bundled within it. Even with the efficient platform we selected, we still see further potential for optimization. Here the solutions on display take the market-specific demands and customer requirements in North America into account."
Accordingly, the concept vehicle is based on the current version of a mid-size SUV that is popular in North America and - as is the case with the majority of North American vehicles - features an automatic transmission with a torque converter. Overall, the detailed solutions displayed in the Efficient Future Mobility North America vehicle make it possible to achieve additional fuel savings of up to 14 to 15 percent, depending on the utilization profile. Schaeffler solutions such as the thermal management module and AWD separating clutch play a role as do Schaeffler's engine start-stop innovations, such as the permanently engaged starter with a wrap spring one-way clutch. The fuel savings improvements are the result of friction optimization work being carried out on belt drives and valve trains, as well as advancements to balancer shafts and wheel bearings – a mechanism for aerodynamically optimized closing of radiator grills – and the optimization of the torque converter.
The new AWD separating clutch, which decouples the unused drive axle from the drive train depending on the driving situation to provide a savings contribution of up to six percent (on the highway), is an example of the of drive train optimization potential achievable with Schaeffler's advanced technologies. The savings that can be achieved in city traffic are approximately two percent. However, the permanently engaged starter generator with a wrap spring one-way clutch can offer additional city driving improvements. In addition to a considerable increase in comfort, due to the smooth engine start-stop function, and a significant improvement in so-called "change of mind" situations (in which the engine is already switched off, but the driver quickly decides to drive on), this innovation helps to achieve fuel savings of up to six percent in city traffic.

Clinical Intervention Staff (study coordinator)
Hiring Company: Partners in Hospice Care
Location: Boston
Job Description
Researchers in the College of Nursing at the University of Utah are seeking a part-time employee to deliver grief support to recently widowed persons living in the greater Boston area. The "Partners in Hospice Care" program (funded by a research grant from the National Cancer Institute) provides a 14-week intervention to older bereaved persons whose spouses and partners have recently died from cancer. The intervention consists of providing in-home visits to help the bereaved caregiver manage daily living tasks and telephone-based grief counseling/support. The intervention is delivered in both Salt Lake City and Boston.
This particular posting is for someone to deliver the intervention in the Boston area. The position would not include tasks related to participant enrollment/consent, data collection, or data management tasks associated with the larger research grant.
The posting is for a "part-time" position with minimal, flexible hours. Some of our current staff members are working with one participant at a time (approximately 2-3 hours every week for 14 weeks), and others choose to work with multiple participants at a time. We hope that the new staff members would be available to take on 2-3 participants at a time, but realize that the work-flow and hours are not guaranteed or steady. Work-flow and hours are dependent on when participants enroll in the study, and when they enter the widowhood role. Individual work schedules are completely determined by the staff member, in conjunction with the participant they are assigned to assist.
- Coordinating a personalized intervention schedule with assigned participants, using an on-line data management system.
- Conducting initial home visits with research participants in order to orient them to study protocol, data collection schedule, and a needs assessment to evaluate how they are coping with their new widowed role.
- Providing individualized telephone-based grief support with participants.
- Meeting with participants in-person (usually at the participant's home) to help teach or empower them to manage the tasks of daily living.
- Participating in staff meetings with other interventionists, researchers, and study coordinators.
IRB CITI Course in the Protection of Human Research subjects certificate obtained within six months of hire and demonstrated human relations and effective communication skills are also required.
The incumbent must have the background and skills to work well with scientists, clinical staff, and research participants. Organizational skills and compassionate personality are expected. Access to personal transportation and residing in the greater Boston area is also required. All hired staff will be trained and supervised to ensure that they are delivering the intervention and to ensure that all research protocols will be followed.
BS/BA or MS/MA/MSW in social work, social/behavioral science, gerontology or related field. Students working in these areas who are currently completing degrees will be considered.
Research experience, clinical/counseling background, and interests in working with older adults. Research and/or clinical experience in the end-of-life or bereavement field is a plus. Already completed CITI research ethics training is desired, or would need to be fulfilled upon hiring into the position.
Additional Information
This position may require the successful completion of a criminal background check and/or drug screen.
Applicants must reside in the greater Boston area and provide personal transportation (i.e. automobile) to the participants' homes. The service area includes Boston proper, and extends North and east of the city. Staff are reimbursed for time/mileage associated with traveling to participants' homes. This position is funded by a federal grant ending in 2015.

The first Atlantic hurricane of the year has made landfall on the coast of northeastern Mexico, bringing heavy rains, high seas and disrupting efforts to clean up the massive oil spill offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hurricane Alex gained strength as it neared land late on Wednesday, increasing to a category two storm packing winds of up to 155kmh.
Flooding was reported in some towns far inland, and trees were uprooted around the Mexican port city of Matamoros, across the border from the US city of Brownsville, Texas.
The Gulf coasts of northeastern Mexico and the US state of Texas have already seen heavy rains and hundreds of residents have been evacuated from vulnerable areas.
The Florida-based National Hurricane Centre (NHC) has said the storm could produce isolated tornadoes in southern Texas.
Many residents in the area have been preparing for the storm for days, readying their homes and businesses and stocking up on household essentials.
Barack Obama, the US president, has declared a state of emergency in Texas clearing the way for federal aid for relief operations.
Alex is the first Atlantic hurricane to form this early, in June, since 1995, according to the NHC.
The storm has already killed at least 10 people in Nicaragua, Guatemala and El Salvador over the weekend.
The hurricane is expected to stay clear of the main oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico and areas worst hit by the massive BP oil spill, but strong winds have already caused problems for the clean-up effort there.
Many coastal operations have been suspended and boats used to skim oil from the sea surface have been ordered to return to port for safety.
Controlled burns of oil on the surface and flights spraying dispersant chemicals have also been halted.
Meanwhile the winds and heavy seas have threatened to push more of the huge slick onto shore, particularly in the already badly-hit US states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
However the hurricane was not expected to hamper the operation siphoning oil from the ruptured BP well, or the drilling of relief wells which engineers say will eventually bring a halt to the leak.
The ongoing oil spill began in April following an explosion on the BP-operated Deepwater Horizon oil rig, which left 11 workers dead.
Since then, between 1.6m and 3.6m barrels of oil have poured into the Gulf from the ruptured undersea wellhead, fouling large stretches of US coastline, killing wildlife and devastating coastal fishing communities.

Top Games of 2011-2012: #6
Date: May 10, 2012
Location: TD Banknorth Garden, Boston, MA (As commenter Ben correctly pointed out here.)
Final Score: 83-80
Key Players: Kevin Garnett (28 points, 14 rebounds), Paul Pierce (18 points, 7 assists)
Top Plays: 1:40 (Rajon Rondo beats the buzzer, ends the 3rd quarter with a long two), 2:18 (Garnett's late basket gives Boston a lead they wouldn't relinquish), 2:34 (Paul Pierce with the key block on Josh Smith's layup)
Rundown: This was…a weird one. Boston went on a 7-0 run in the first four minutes of the 4th quarter to build a nine point lead, then scored just four points until the final 30 seconds of the game, allowing the Hawks to take the lead by one.
Kevin Garnett's turnaround jumper with just over 30 seconds remaining gave Boston the lead for good, but it was far from secure. Josh Smith, after a terrific game, did a very Josh Smith thing, throwing a contested 20 foot jumper over Brandon Bass' outstretched hand. The shot barely grazed the rim, and Ray Allen grabbed the rebound. Allen, who was surprisingly bad from the free throw line in the playoffs, split the free throws, giving the Hawks one more chance to tie or take the lead. Pierce played excellent defense on Joe Johnson, swatting away his layup attempt, but Al Horford earned a trip to the free throw line with a chance to tie. He split his free throws as well, and Pierce iced the game at the line on the other end, sending the Celtics to the second round of the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year.
What it meant: When the playoffs began, very few media outlets projected the Celtics to go beyond the second round of the playoffs, and very few projected them to lose in the first. But that was before Derrick Rose was injured and the Sixers upset the Bulls. After Rose's injury, Atlanta seemed like the biggest obstacle blocking the Celtics from an Eastern Conference Finals showdown with Miami. Defeating the Hawks felt monumental, since most C's fans had been pining for playoff matchup with the Heat after beating them 3-1 in the regular season.
So once again, defeating the Hawks felt preliminary. Atlanta has never been a bitter rival for Boston, mainly because they pose more of a stepping stone than a real threat. When the Hawks pushed Boston to seven games in 2008, showing themselves as an up and coming Eastern Conference team, there was honestly very little question as to whether or not Boston would lose the series. The Hawks simply didn't have the firepower to beat Boston at the time. They still didn't in 2012.
One exasperated writer took to Twitter to complain that the Celtics would beat the Hawks and the Sixers "for no other reason than that they are the Celtics," which was weirdly true. We had a feeling that both the Atlanta and the Philadelphia series' would be close (and they were), but in neither case did it feel like Boston had come to the end of the road. Not because the Celtics were a bad matchup for either team (they weren't), just because, well, they were the Celtics. Boston felt destined to battle out a series with the Heat.
Before the playoffs began, most of us believed that we were seeing the final days of the Big 3 era. Whether it would be Ray Allen, KG, or both, we were expecting to lose part of the core that won the title in 2008. And though winning this series wasn't a surprise, it was good to see that the Celtics were going to make some semblance of a postseason run in their last year together.

Jason Terry said something yesterday in an interview that spoke to me. He said, and I'm paraphrasing, "God won't put you in a position that you can't get out of" I know that's a cliche, but I really needed to hear that because of things going on at home. He just catapulted to the top of my fave Celtics, at least for now. And he hasn't even played a game. And has anyone seen his new tat?! Awesome. And he's great because there's two reverends in our locker room: Dooling and Terry.

Haha, I think I know exactly who that exasperated writer was. I remember their full-blown Twitter rant after the C's won Game 5 of the ECF about how the regular season was rendered meaningless if BOS won the series.
The game was okay. The post-game presser with KG and Rondo was fantastic!

It was around June 1 when Corey Hart moved from right field to first base. This was necessary because the tandem of Travis Ishikawa and Brooks Conrad (surprise!!) failed to deliver acceptable offense. Now there are three players manning the two spots not taken by Ryan Braun. Since the shift emotional sparkplug Nyger Morgan has played in 22 games with 76 plate appearances. Defensive whiz Carlos Gomez appeared in 25 games with 87 trips to the plate. Finally, seven time NPB All Star Norichika Aoki leads the way with 30 games and 126 plate appearances.
Morgan was a solid player in 2011 and his "T-Plush†persona earned him some national attention. His career stats show that he needs at least a .350 BABIP to have a decent batting average and OBP. This is not a huge stretch considering his speed and over 70% of his balls in play are grounders or line drives. It will not happen every year either, and in 2012 it is .277. He is particularly unlucky on ground balls. His BABIP was .286 on them last year, is .241 over his career, but only .157 in 2012.
Along with a decreased average Morgan has lost most of the pop in his bat. His ISO is .051 compared to 2011's .116. Another way of looking at it:
|Extra Base Hits
Another issue for fantasy players is Morgan's steals have dried up. He stole 74 in his first two big league seasons but only has twenty since coming to Milwaukee to start 2011. There are signs that the batting average will turn for the better but without any power his other categories will be deficient.
Carlos Gomez steals more bases and has more power than Morgan but a low BB/K ratio contributes to his .290 career OBP. His 39.2% fly ball rate is high for a speed first player and is a large part of the reason his BABIP is just .302. Both his contact rate and swinging strike rate have stagnated over the last three seasons. His ISO is on the rise, however, and with 26 runs and eighteen RBI he is far outproducing Morgan. Gomez is better for now but Morgan has a higher chance of improving in the second half.
Aoki has been the best hitter of the three, demonstrated by his 128 wRC+. He owns a 10.3% strikeout rate along with a credible .148 ISO. A platoon split it not highly apparent on the surface but his BB/K against left handed pitching is only 0.10 while it is 0.94 against righties. He will not fare as well facing southpaws going forward.
Aoki has a .333 BABIP on ground balls, well above the typical league average. He also needs to survive once the league sees him a second and third time. So far he is being challenged with fastballs, seeing them more often than 85% of batters. He has a 2.42 wFB/c so he should expect to deal with more off speed pitches in the second half. He has eleven steals and a strong 6.8 speed score so he should continue on that pace. As he is seventeenth in fantasy production over the last month he is the player to get presently. Despite some warning flags he could be worth starting the rest of the season.

Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company v. Mottley
|Louisville Nashville Railroad Company v. Mottley
|United States Supreme Court decision that held that under the existing statutory scheme, federal question jurisdiction could not be predicated on a plaintiff's anticipation that the defendant would raise a federal statute as a defense. Instead, such jurisdiction can only arise from a complaint by the plaintiff that the defendant has directly violated some provision of the Constitution, laws, or treaties of the United States. This reading of the federal question jurisdiction statute is now known as the well-pleaded complaint rule. — Excerpted from Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co. v. Mottley on Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
United States Supreme Court
LOUISVILLE NASHVILLE RAILROAD COMPANY v. MOTTLEY
Argued: October 13, 1908. --- Decided: November 16, 1908
The appellees (husband and wife), being residents and citizens of Kentucky, brought this suit in equity in the circuit court of the United States for the western district of Kentucky against the appellant, a railroad company and a citizen of the same state. The object of the suit was to compel the specific performance of the following contract:
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 2d, 1871.
The Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, in consideration that E. L. Mottley and wife, Annie E. Mottley, have this day released company from all damages or claims for damages for injuries received by them on the 7th of September, 1871, in consequence of a collision of trains on the railroad of said company at Randolph's Station, Jefferson County, Kentucky, hereby agrees to issue free passes on said railroad and branches now existing or to exist, to said E. L. & Annie E. Mottley for the remainder of the present year, and thereafter to renew said passes annually during the lives of said Mottley and wife or either of them.
The bill alleged that in September, 1871, plaintiffs, while passengers upon the defendant railroad, were injured by the defendant's negligence, and released their respective claims for damages in consideration of the agreement for transportation during their lives, expressed in the contract. It is alleged that the contract was performed by the defendant up to January 1, 1907, when the defendant declined to renew the passes. The bill then alleges that the refusal to comply with the contract was based solely upon that part of the act of Congress of June 29, 1906 (34 Stat. at L. 584, chap. 3591, U.S.C.omp. Stat. Supp. 1907, p. 892), which forbids the giving of free passes or free transportation. The bill further alleges: First, that the act of Congress referred to does not prohibit the giving of passes under the circumstances of this case; and, second, that, if the law is to be construed as prohibiting such passes, it is in conflict with the 5th Amendment of the Constitution, because it deprives the plaintiffs of their property without due process of law. The defendant demurred to the bill. The judge of the circuit court overruled the demurrer, entered a decree for the relief prayed for, and the defendant appealed directly to this court.
Mr. Henry L. Stone for appellant.
Messrs. Lewis McQuown and Clarence U. McElroy for appellees.
Mr. L. A. Shaver for Interstate Commerce Commission as amicus curiae.
Mr. Justice Moody, after making the foregoing statement, delivered the opinion of the court:
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States federal government (see 17 U.S.C. 105).

From a marketing standpoint Google, the enormously profitable Internet search engine, separated itself from the competition early on with its homepage, the iconic Google logo on a blank white screen. The stark design emphasizes the company's view that it's a search engine, not a news or entertainment site. The home page never changes, except for those Doodles, the artistic, sometimes funny, sometimes baffling renderings with the logo hidden within -- that occasionally appear and have become famous.

In a recent article I read in the New York Times called "Modern Love; Truly, Madly, Guiltily," a writer named Ayelet Waldman labels herself a bad mother. She says she isn't "infatuated" with her children in the same way the other mothers she's met in play groups seem to be. While these other mothers appear to live their lives for their children, her life revolves around her husband '- in the same way it did before they had their four children. Waldman's theory is that the other mothers' "passion has been refocused" away from their husbands to "an all-consuming maternal desire." Unlike these other mothers who allegedly have no interest at all in having sex, Waldman says she and her husband have fabulous sex on a frequent basis.
She says she doesn't feel smug about this difference, but rather she feels like she stands out as the one mother with out-of-whack priorities. She suggests that there must be something wrong with her. She says, "If a good mother is one who loves her child more than anyone else in the world, I am not a good mother. I am in fact a bad mother. I love my husband more than I love my children."
Pardon me, but from my point of view she has the situation backwards. Not fitting the mold of these other mothers means she is actually doing everything right. In fact, not only isn't she a bad mother, but if her theory about the other women is true, I guess I have no choice but to label them not only bad mothers, but also bad wives.
Here's the problem: While their libidos may be lacking due to this newly refocused fervor, I would guess that does not hold true for the sexual urges of their husbands. And if these men aren't finding satisfaction at home, they'll eventually turn elsewhere. I'm not saying that sex is the be all and end all of marriage, but it is without question an essential element of the glue that keeps couples together '- and the absence of sex will seriously weaken the bond. If there really are so many women who never transfer their energy from their children to their husbands to keep their sex lives strong, then it's no wonder that the divorce rate hovers around 50 percent.

We loved the food and service so much we went back the next evening. Each appetizer and main course was delicious and beautifully presented. The wine was excellent as well. We booked in the upstairs area which I believe would be preferred. As it is very popular, I recommend that you make reservations in advance. Quality and value are excellent. You will not be disappointed.

Gumbo z'Herbs isn't Gumbo as you might know it. First off, there's not okra called for. You use file or nada. Nada being easier to come by ;-> Gumbo z'herbs is a bunch greens of different kinds all cooked up with the Trinity and roue and spices. Just like that. If not during Lent, you can add sausage or ham and seafood like oysters, but really it's all about eating those greens in the fall or early spring.
I went down to the Carrboro Farmer's Market and filled up on everything I needed on Saturday morning. Even though I slept in a bit, I had not trouble getting everything I needed. Proportions change according to taste and availability but here's what I did:
1/2 head of cabbage – I used red which will mean the broth will be purple, most recipes call for green/white cabbage
1 bunch of collards
1 bunch of beet greens
1 bunch of turnip greens
1 bunch of kale (I left this one out)
whatever other greens you like say spinach, carrot tops, etc
Trinity: 1 Onion, 2 – 3 Green Pepper, buncha Celery (I used bok choy instead, tearing off the greens which I used with the greens above and chopping the stems).
Garlic – I use a lot
Oil, flour for roux (I admit I skip this part most time – kill me later Cajuns)
Thyme, allspice, file (I use this as the thickener), hot pepper (fresh, dried, roasted or powered as suits)
1/2 to 1 pound of Chorizo – crumbly kind as opposed to the hard Spanish variety (remember I was getting this all local).
Wash the greens. Wash them again. One more time. These are right off the farm and are gona be gritty if you don't.
Stem greens as appropriate. Roll em and slice into 1/2 – 1 inch pieces then chope into sorta squares.
Boil them greens. Put the cabbage and collards in first as they take longer to cook. Later add the beet greens and finally the spinach or carrot greens. use enough water to cover. about 30 minutes of boiling all together.
In another pot, heat the oil. Then add the garlic and the trinity and the hot peppers. Stir until the onions are transparent.
Add the chorizo and brown.
Add the cooked greens dipped from the water, reserving the water.
Stir the greens in good then add the spices.
Now add enough of the reserved water to cover and keep on cooking. Bring to a boil then simmer so that the flavors blend nicely.
Serve alone or over rice.

To quote Jed Clampett, "Whooo, doggy!" Paul you done got my appetite up and its not even 10 AM. I might have to have lunch at Raleigh's The Big Easy now!
Mark (who loves him some gumbo)
I've got a great green gumbo recipe that I'll send to you once I dig it up. Getting down to Mardi Gras again next year – we skipped last year – can't wait!
Great recipe!I like a lot the fact, that you can use whatever ingredients you like, for making gumbo! People use different ingredients and make their own recipes, just like you did! Gumbo is so cool!

ACLJ: Wife Of American Pastor Imprisoned In Iran "Very Encouraged" By Secretary Of State Kerry's Statement Calling On Iran To Release Pastor Saeed Abedini
WASHINGTON, March 22, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which defends human rights and religious freedom, said today it is pleased that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has issued a public statement expressing concern for American Pastor Saeed Abedini – a U.S. citizen imprisoned in Iran because of his Christian faith. The statement, issued late today while Secretary Kerry was travelling in the Middle East, calls on Iran to release Pastor Saeed immediately and comes after ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow called for Secretary Kerry to issue a public statement by today.
"We're very pleased that Secretary of State Kerry made this bold and public statement calling on Iran to release Pastor Saeed," said Jordan Sekulow, Executive Director of the ACLJ. "By speaking out directly on behalf of Pastor Saeed, Secretary Kerry is taking our government's most aggressive action yet in working to secure the freedom of this U.S. citizen. We also appreciate Secretary Kerry calling attention to Pastor Saeed's worsening health. By becoming directly involved in this case, the U.S. sends a powerful message to Iran and our allies – our government will not stand by and abandon one of our own. By engaging the Pastor Saeed case at the highest level, we're hopeful that the State Department will now do everything in its power to secure the release of this U.S. citizen."
"I am very encouraged by Secretary Kerry's statement demanding Saeed's immediate release," said Naghmeh, Pastor Saeed's wife. "I am very happy to read that although Secretary Kerry has asked for medical treatment for Saeed, he does not stop there, and states that the best outcome is Saeed's immediate release. I hope to see more proactive actions from our government. Saeed and I are both proud to be Americans. I am hopeful that this will put more pressure on the Iranian government to act and free Saeed so he can return to our family in the United States."
Secretary Kerry's statement, posted here, comes just one day after the U.S. Ambassador Eileen C. Donahoe specifically cited Pastor Saeed's case at the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva and called for his release. It comes one week after the State Department refused to participate in a hearing by the Congressional panel on Pastor Saeed's case.The statement also comes as a new letter from Pastor Saeed describes the toll the torture and beatings on his health. Pastor Saeed, 32, has been imprisoned since last fall and is serving an 8-year prison sentence in Evin Prison, one of Iran's most deadly prisons. The ACLJ has been working in this country and abroad to secure his freedom and has heard from nearly 550,000 people demanding his release. The ACLJ represents Pastor Saeed's wife, Naghmeh and their two young children in the U.S.

These photos below are 1 day old and 13 days old.
She's a sweetheart. To put it briefly and vaguely, her entrance to the world was dramatic (or traumatic)? 21 hours of labor, a 104 degree fever for me, and a whole host of other issues landed her in the NICU (neonatal intensive care) for a week (and I couldn't see her 'til the next day). She needed a little bit of help breathing, had to have a lumbar puncture (*shudder*), and had antibiotics for a week. Had an IV in her head at one point (not something I enjoyed seeing).
She came home June 4. Unfortunately the trouble didn't end there, as our household has been plagued with various illnesses requiring middle of the night ER visits and doctor appointments and prescription pain killers (oh my). Yet even with her parents falling apart, she's thriving. We're finally getting our feet under us around here and adjusting to life as a family of three.
I've been putting more photos on Instagram periodically.

Trout with Red Cabbage
Ingredients:Garlic infused grapeseed oil (or canola oil with chopped fresh garlic)4- 8oz to 10oz boned trout5-6 tsp minced fresh sageMrs. Dash salt substitute to taste½ medium onion, thinly sliced4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage (about 12 oz.)2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar1 lemon cut in halfDirections:Position one rack in the upper third and one rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Brush 2 large baking sheets with grapeseed oil. Open the trout and arrange skin -side down on the baking sheets.Brush the grapeseed oil over the flesh side of the trout. Sprinkle each trout with 1 teaspoon of the sage, and Mrs. Dash.Place the skillet with some grapeseed oil over medium heat and add the onion and remaining 1 teaspoon of sage. Sauté until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the cabbage and sprinkle with Mrs. Dash. Sauté until the cabbage is crisp-tender, about 7 minutes. Add the vinegar and stir until evaporated, about 30 seconds. Meanwhile, place the baking sheets in the oven and roast the trout until it feels firm to the touch and is opaque in the center when cut with a small, sharp knife, about 8 minutes.
Using a spatula, transfer the trout, with or without the skin, to 4 warmed plates. Sprinkle with the remaining sage and add a squeeze of lemon. Spoon cabbage alongside the trout and serve.
Trout is sold whole, with or without the bone, and as fillets. Sometimes the head is still attached. If you prefer, it can easily be cut off with a heavy knife, or ask the fishmonger to remove it.

Thin material floppy looking edges
By Pillow plumper
from Fareham
About Me Mid-range Shopper
Bought to use everyday and thought they would be easy to care for. Found when I opened the packet that the pillow cases were made of thin fabric that you could see through. Edges looked floppy with a pillow inside. I can't comment on wash and iron qualities as I returned them. Bought better elsewhere and cheaper too.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I recently wrote about Chase's decision to no longer award miles for debit card purchases. This is a shame because I know a lot of people who leverage debit cards to earn miles – whether they don't believe in credit or simply can't get a credit card, at least debit cards were an option.
A letter I received from Chase yesterday confirms the change. After July 12 I will, "no longer earn Continental OnePass miles when I use my Chase Continental Airlines Debit Card" – I'll even get a $13.75 deposit for a prorated refund of my annual fee on April 19, 2011.
I haven't gotten any notice from Bank of America, but I'm sure the time is coming on their co-branded debit cards. I never use my US Airways debit card anyway – it was just to get "hits" in the uber-lucrative Grand Slam promotion.
While this isn't shocking, it is a reminder to make sure you have plans after July 12 since not earning miles and points on your spending isn't an option! For a list of top credit card deals, check out the Top Deals page. Feel free to suggest any options if you feel I've made a glaring omission.
