Tips on Choosing the Right Health Insurance Plan
Wednesday, October 6, 2010
With the cost of health care on the rise, many Americans struggle with finding the right health insurance plan that will give them the coverage they need without breaking the bank. Getting the type of health insurance that is right for you is important so that you can be covered whenever you need it. Before choosing a health care plan, some things that you want to compare are:
- Premiums (how much the policyholder needs to pay for coverage)
- Coverage/benefits (look at your history and what you use the most; consider dental insurance, eye care exams, prescription coverage, etc.)
- Access to doctors, hospitals and other providers (check if limited to a primary care physician or if you can choose any doctor you want)
- Access to after hours and emergency care (may be limited depending on the provider)
- Out-of-pocket expenses (co-insurance, co-pays and deductibles)
- Exclusions and limitations (long-care illness, lifetime policy limits, etc.)
Two major categories of insurance plans are Indemnity Insurance and Managed Care. Indemnity insurance offers more flexibility in choosing doctors and hospitals, so you can choose any doctor that you want. However, you generally need to pay the money up front and then file a claim with the insurance plan. In other indemnity plans, the plan only pays for part of the medical bills, and you pay for the rest. You need to spend a certain amount of money per year before your insurance plan begins to pay benefits (this amount is called your deductible) and deductibles range from $100-$300 (for an individual) or $500+ (for a family). Also, indemnity insurance often has a lifetime limit. Experts recommend that you select a policy with a lifetime limit of at least $1 million.
Managed care costs decrease when patients use doctors who participate in the plan (these doctors are called network providers). One of the benefits is that you don't need to fill out any insurance forms or submit any claims to the insurance company. You generally pay a co-pay of $10-$20 for an office appointment and the insurance pays for the rest. The insurance company generally has a list of medications that the plan covers (called a formulary), and the co-pay depends on whether the person is buying a medication that is part of the formulary. For example, the patient only need to pay $20 for a medication that is listed on the formulary, while they may need to pay $40 for a brand name drug not listed on the formulary.
There are many factors to consider when selecting your type of health care insurance. As a college student, it might not seem like something that you need to worry about right away, but it is worthwhile to take some time to fully examine all of your options. You don't want to wait until you have an emergency to find out what your health care plan does or doesn't cover. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has great resources for learning more about the different types of heath care plans.
Fall for the Fall

As the temperatures start to drop out of the 70's, many people begin to get into "winter" mode and forget about all the great things the fall has to offer, especially in New England. This season is a great time to take advantage of some outside physical activities. Around UNH, you can find some great running routes or take a stroll through college woods. All the leaves are beginning to change colors and a walk in college woods is not only great for your health, but maybe a nice stress reliever too!
However, if you really want to take advantage of your surroundings, try going for a hike. With the cool weather and beautiful scenery, there are trails and mountains all over New Hampshire for hiking pros (such as parts of Mount Washington) or for hiking amateurs. Last year I went to Mt. Major, overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee and it was a great physical challenge. There were different trails going up and it took about an hour and a half to reach the summit. Hiking up the mountain was a really great work out for my muscles and once I reached the top the whole experience paid off. Hiking is a great way to get active with a group of friends. It could be a quick hike near Durham, or a day-long event somewhere up north. It's an activity that works all different muscles in the body, and you can control the time and the intensity depending on how hard you work getting up the mountain.
Before the cold and the snow come creeping in, make some time for outside exercise. Try to include a group of friends and make it a challenge between everyone. As your hiking, don't forget to take a break and realize what's around you! For trail information and places to go, check out this website for trails throughout New Hampshire.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Is there anything that can be given to help manage thick, ropey mucous following radiation to the throat? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Harry Quon, MD, MS (CRM), Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The reason why the secretions are thick is that the radiation tends to "damage" the "watery component" of the saliva. Humidification, i.e., a hot shower, can help much like one would do for an upper respiratory tract infection. Most pharmacies now sell hand-held warm humidifiers that can provide some relief. A humidifier by the bedside might help in minimizing that "terrible dry thick secretion" feeling as well. We sometimes prescribe Tussionex for this problem. It is a narcotic but patients find that it helps in thinning out the ropey secretions. Alternatively, over the counter Robitussin with Guaifenesin can help. You should discuss these options with your radiation oncologist.
Mar 2, 2010 - Patients with head or neck cancer who undergo induction chemotherapy followed by radiation in a treatment approach to preserve the larynx have a low risk of subsequent severe voice disability, according to a study presented at the Multidisciplinary Head and Neck Cancer Symposium, held from Feb. 25 to 27 in Chandler, Ariz., sponsored by the American Head and Neck Society, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the American Society for Radiation Oncology, and the Society of Nuclear Medicine.

Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen,
1. I am very pleased to welcome you today for the presentation of a copy of the volume containing reflections and comments by distinguished proponents of rights on topics of great interest. I thank you because on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of my Pontificate, you wanted to complete this initiative in which 420 jurists from various parts of the world, including illustrious scholars of the Hebrew and Muslim religions, have participated. I join you all in the firm belief that in order to protect the human person and his dignity as well as to work toward the common good of and the harmony among peoples, the only path to take is to enforce the "strength" of the ius, in the dutiful respect of every person regardless of the culture, language and religion to which he or she belongs.
2. This is what I also wanted to emphasize in the Message for the upcoming World Day of Peace, calling to mind at the same time the importance and urgency to teach peace. I truly hope that this work of yours will contribute to highlighting better the fundamental duty of the protection of human rights, the merits but also the limits of globalization, and the value of European integration and of peace.
I thank you once again for your accurate study and as I express fervent best wishes for the upcoming Christmas celebrations and for the New Year, I cordially bless you, your families and your loved ones.

Have $35,000 to burn? Well, perhaps you would like a fine automobile? Too obvious, you say? Maybe invest in a low-risk offshore corporate start-up? We hear you; too risky in this financial climate. It sure is hard to have a ton of cash to dump and nothing worth spending it on, isn't it?
Cracked-in-the-skull eBay seller ronald3868, then, has the deal for you. An original NES with 42 games, four controllers, a GameGenie, a zapper AND a soft-sided carrying case.
Above: Off. Your. Rocker. Sure is in pristine condition, though.
That's right, for the low, low price of only $35,000 (or best offer, of course), you can be the proud owner of a Nintendo Entertainment System and 42 games. Why in hell would anyone ask for that kind of scratch for something worth a mere fraction of that cost? We'll let our man ronald3868 tell it like it is straight from the eBay posting:
"I am down on my luck need to pay bills living pay check to pay check. this is my price possession the only thing I can say I own 100%. to some a nes system could mean nothing but to me its priceless. I hate to part with it but i need the money. You might say what a ridiculous price but thats how hard it is for me to part with it. I have 100% feedback. whoever buys it can verify that I really need the money. I can show you my bills and credit report to verify it and I will give proof that the bills got paid. I would like to personally hand over the nes bundle system over to the winner and personally thank him/her if possible. God bless."
The absurdity of all of this is that the Question/Answer section of the eBay listing is starting to pick up steam in giving the seller encouragement. He seems pretty grateful for their comments, but not as grateful as he'd be if he were $35K richer.
You may think that this is overpriced. You may think that this is ridiculous. You may also think that monkeys that shit fire while juggling cans of Dr. Pepper and riding unicycles are absurd. All of these beliefs are true. But we'll bet you more bagels than a man can eat that we are going to follow this sale until its last possible second on the internet.

Reading through the diabetes headlines is not often an uplifting experience, but this story might just make your day: To support his 8-year-old brother Jacob, who has Type 1 diabetes — and to help raise funds to find a cure — a 9-year-old Australian boy named Sebastian has written "Believe," a song that encourages his little brother to overcome the obstacles in his path and strive for his dreams. The video for "Believe," starring Sebastian, Jacob, and their sister Caity, can be viewed here. The song is also available for download from www.sebastianmusic.biz for $0.99 AUD (roughly $1.12 USD at the current exchange rate), with net proceeds being donated to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
In the words of Sebastian, "Believe in what you have within you; The dreams you have will see you grow."
This blog entry was written by Web Editor Diane Fennell.
Thanks for posting this link Diane. Well done Aussie kids, Sebastian, Jacob and Caity! Good Diabetes management needs the support of family members in everyday life and especially at fun and activity times. Understanding is the most important ingredient. I was lucky growing up with Type1 Diabetes as my older sister was training to be a nurse and was a source of knowledge, given with loving care. It's not easy going, though now at the milestone of 45years with Type 1, I can say that I live a happy and relatively healthy life.

Excerpt from: Born With a Question Mark in Your Heart, Chapter 1
"It is fortunate that man is born with a question mark, otherwise he would be just another species of animal. Buffaloes have no questions; they accept whatever is, unquestioningly – they are really faithful, religious. Trees have no questions, birds have no questions; it is only man and man's prerogative, his privilege. In the whole existence he alone is capable of asking a question.
"The old religions have been trying to destroy your privilege. They have been forcing you down to the level of the animals. That's what they call faith, "undoubting faith". They want you to be buffaloes, donkeys; but not men – because the only special quality that defines man as separate from animalhood is the question mark. Yes, it is a turmoil.
"Certainly to live without any question mark is peaceful, but that peace is a dead peace, it has no life in it. That silence is the silence of a cemetery, of the graveyard. I would prefer man to be in a turmoil, but alive. I would not like him to become a graveyard. That peace, that silence is at a great cost: you are losing your life, you are losing your intelligence, you are losing your all possibility of discovering an ecstatic way of life. That question mark is not there without significance. It is not the work of the Devil that each child is born with doubt and not with faith. Doubt is natural.
"Each child asks a thousand and one questions. The more a child asks questions, the more potential he shows that he will be able to discover something. There are dumb children too – not literally dumb, but psychologically dumb. Parents like them very much because they don't create any trouble, they don't ask questions – even a small child can destroy all your knowledgeability."

Ten years ago Michigan pathologist Dr. Jack Kevorkian assisted Janet Adkins with her death. In the years since, Kevorkian has helped more than 130 persons to die, and is serving time for second degree murder. One state, Oregon, has legalized assisted suicide. Maine will have it on the ballot in November. Thoughtful Christians are divided on the issue. To help our discussion, United Church News is presenting articles by two UCC ministers, Geoffrey D. Drutchas and Robert K. Nace.
The Rev. Geoffrey G. Drutchas is senior pastor at St. Paul UCC in Taylor, Mich., located near Detroit Metro Airport, the site of many early meetings between Dr. Kevorkian and those seeking assistance with suicide. He is the author of "Is Life Sacred?", available for $18.95 + $3.50 s/h from Pilgrim Press at 800-537-3394.
The Rev. Robert K. Nace, pastor of Zion's Reformed UCC in Greenville, Pa., for 27 years and a former General Synod moderator, is now retired in Peterborough, N.H. He is the author of "A Word Less Heard: A Mainliner's Take on the Issues," a collection of sermons available for $15 + $1.50 s/h from 20 Mountain View Drive, Peterborough, NH 03458.

Unearthed: Main Attrakionz- Perfect Skies EP
Posted in Unearthed
You Can't Hate, You Can't Hate, Chuch
Have you ever listened to a rap song and even before you could make out its lyrics you fell completely in love with just the feel of it? Like for the first couple listens you don't even bother worrying about what the rapper is actually saying because you are so overtaken by the raw, visceral emotion of it all. Then when you do finally tell yourself, "hey maybe this time I should try and render what he/she is saying", you unearth a whole new side to the song and fall in love with it all over again.
That process just happened to us with the new collaboration EP between Oakland-based rappers Mondre and Squadda aka Main Attrakionz and production crew Friendzone. At first listen, it was the general emotion of "Perfect Skies" and "Chuch" that drew us in. Pure conscious-driven, positive-sounding raps layered perfectly between a cloud of blissed-out synths, airy harp plucks, and ambient piano melodies. Rather than analyzing its content, Mondre and Squadda's sedated, chilled-out flows were pretty to just listen to--drifting in and out of straight up raps to kinda-not-really-singing with ease, reminding us a lot of Bone Thugs & Harmony. Getting lost in Friendzone's productions wasn't a hard task either, as each instrumental is so enticing that we almost forgot we were listening to a rap song all together. Needless to say, it took at least five or so listens before each song's actual lyrics resonated. But when they did, they did in a big big way.
Each of the two tracks on the Perfect Skies EP feature Mondre and Squadda rapping about things you'd likely suspect two 20-year-old kids to rap about. Lyrics are based around the struggle, passion, and grind it takes to one day make it big. It's a theme many young up and coming rappers tend to stick to, but here it feels even more genuine. Their rhymes are highly liberating and evoke a hustler's sprit sort of vibe that anyone who has ever struggled for something in their lives--regardless of upbringing and societal standing--can relate to.
These two songs are for those times when everything just feels right. Throw these on while cruising around on a beautiful day with the windows rolled all the way down and the stereo turned all the way up and try not to feel empowered. This my friends, is what we like to call musical confidence. Get yourself inspired...

ROME, Ga. — The Lee men's golf team improved by 13 strokes on Tuesday but that was not enough to overtake Coastal Georgia College in the final round of the Chick-fil-A Intercollegiate hosted by Berry College.
The Flames finished the 36-hole event with a cumulative 292 score and a two-day total of 597 for fourth place honors.
Coastal Georgia claimed top honors with a 578, while the University of the Cumberlands was second at 579 and Spring Hill College rounded out the top three with a 591. Not only did the Georgia team take team honors, it also grabbed the medalist crown when Alastair Tidcombe won in a playoff.
After playing Monday's opening 18 in the rain and cool conditions at the Coosa Country Club, the Flames moved to Stonebridge Golf Club for Tuesday's play. A total of 25 teams took part and 135 golfers competed for medalist honors.
Freshman Taylor Davis finished with an even par round of 72 on Tuesday and his 149 matched the final totals of teammates Forian Loutre and JB Eksteen. Loutre had a 74 in the final round and Eksteen was 1-over at 73. Matt Emery rounded out the top four scores that counted for the Flames. He had a 73 (150 total), while Hunter Vest came in with a 75 (152).
Another freshman paced the B-squad scoring. In fact, Peyton Sliger carried the leading 36-hole total back to the Lee campus. He had rounds of 73-74 147. Freshman Scott Murray tallied a 78 on Tuesday for a 164 total. Tyler Smith carded an 82 (163), while Zack Lawson had an 83 and a 168 finish.
"Today was better, particularly our focus level," said coach John Maupin. "We looked great through the front nine today, but we just couldn't keep the momentum going on the second nine. Overall, it was a disappointing tournament for us. I expected us to be much more competitive for the championship."
Added Maupin: "We don't have time to feel sorry for ourselves. We will leave for our final tournament of the fall on Saturday (SCAD-Savannah) and we need to play a lot better than we did this week."

One way to regard Israel Horovitz' "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard" is as a scientific experiment in how much chitchat a person can endure. In this case, the experiment has been rigged in favor of the audience, since the chatterers are so gifted.
They are Jason Robards and Judith Ivey. Without them, I suspect the play would be unendurable. Their work is an illuminating example of the actor's art.
"Park Your Car" is about an aging professor who knows he has only a short time left to live. A widower who lives alone in Gloucester, Mass., he needs someone to take care of him. The young woman who answers his ad turns out to be a former pupil, to whom, in fact, he gave very poor grades in music and English.
In the course of nearly two hours, we learn little that matters about either of them. In real life, of course, we seldom know more than the mundane about people around us. In the theater, we expect to penetrate the protective facade of chitchat.
Here, from time to time, the idle chatter leads to moments of revelation that in no way deepen our understanding of the characters. The nuggets often make little sense. The woman, for example, complains that because of the low grades, she was unable to qualify for a scholarship. Nothing about her behavior suggests she was cut out for a scholarly life, so, if the playwright or his character were more sensible, she might thank him for saving her from years of academic drudgery.
But then, academic standards are odd in Eastern Massachusetts.
Toward the end of the play, she asks him to give her a "makeup test" in classical music. He plays 10 musical examples that she must identify (after weeks of study). When she gets a perfect score, he reveals he took this very exam as a freshman at Harvard, where he answered only six of the 10 correctly.
This must have been when Harvard was still a gentleman's school, because anyone who missed more than two of these chestnuts should not have pursued a degree in music. (I confess I missed the Rachmaninoff, but that is because I am a terrible snob and did not even listen to his music until my middle years.)
At the very end of the play, we get a sudden revelation that, had it come an hour earlier, might have given the play some weight. Here it just seems a cheap shock.
Though the play never rises above the trivial, Robards and Ivey are a constant delight. Robards plays a now familiar role, a crank with an extremely dry sense of humor. He brings a great liveliness to the part even though for most of the evening he is quite sedentary.
Ivey is extraordinary.
She can make even the grating Massachusetts accent sound drolly musical. She has such inner vivacity that she can convey the malice and hurt of her character without ever dropping her drearily placid surface. If only she had more to do than iron shirts, boil water and whine!
Director Zoe Caldwell has mined the play's limited resources skillfully. You keep wishing the play were worth all the talent and energy that has been poured into it.
The first thing to note about Israel Horovitz's two-character play "Park Your Card in Harvard Yard," which opened at the Music Box last night, is that it starts off as if we are in for a thin evening. Come to think of it, the last thing to note about it is that it still seems dramatically malnourished at the end - from first to last it doesn't gain any weight.
I suppose there is a story lurking behind this vehicular excuse to parade the formidable, if here only modestly exercised, talents of Judith Ivey and Jason Robards. But such story as there might be tends to keep itself to itself.
The curtain rises on the shabby but comfortable bachelor home in Gloucester, Mass., of Jacob Brackish (Robards), a retired high school teacher who shoved English literature and music appreciation down the unreceptive gullets of countless Gloucester students.
He was apparently a man of sternly rigid standards - flunking generation after generation of Gloucester hopefuls, and in some cases apparently thus effectively blocking their access to higher education. He appears to have been a generally hated figure in the town - and for evident reason.
Now he is old - his doctor gives him only a few months to live - and, preferring to spend his final days at home, he advertises for a housekeeper. Enter the recently widowed Kathleen Hogan (Ivey), who has been left penniless.
It soon transpires that Hogan, and indeed her entire family, were once students of the irascible and unbending Brackish, and all suffered from his perfectionist academic attitudes.
At first this classically odd couple are not unexpectedly at classic odds with one another, but slowly the Bach-ing curmudgeon and his rock-loving housekeeper develop a relationship with one another. This will come as no surprise to devotees of the drama - or to students of television.
There is an ending - the expected one. There are plot demi-semi-developments - one regarding Brackish's hearing aid, the other, his earlier more amatory attachments. And, although the housekeeper never gets quite so educated as Rita in that earlier play about an academic and a woman of the people, yes, she is abruptly won over to the joys of classical music.
Nothing about the play is particularly interesting or especially likely - which is a pity, because I have long admired Horovitz's writing.
But here it is as unobtrusively routine as the pleasantly routine direction by Zoe Caldwell and the effortlessly routine performances by Robards (wispily cantankerous), Ivey (perkily indomitable) and a cat (markedly feline). For me the best aspect of the performance was Ben Edwards' storybook setting - but how long can you really with advantage look at a setting?
Perfervid admirers of Judith Ivey and Jason Robards might have a sufficiently acceptable time with "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard," but merely fervid admirers will probably, like the stars, wish to look for a better parking space.
He is "the oldest living man in Gloucester, Mass.," a crotchety retired high-school teacher who never married. She is the warm-hearted young widow, also childless, who answers his ad for a live-in housekeeper. He is Jewish. She is Catholic. He is a chilly intellectual. She is a sentimental slob. He likes Mozart. She likes Phoebe Snow. He has a hearing aid. She has a big mouth.
So it goes, and goes and goes and goes, in "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard," the Israel Horovitz comedy that has parked Jason Robards and Judith Ivey at the Music Box Theater on Broadway, one of New York's most merciless tow-away zones. The play is one of those one-set, two-actor, odd-couple contraptions that periodically seduce producers in search of low budgets and high returns along the lines of "Same Time, Next Year" or "Educating Rita." This particular example is only five minutes old before the audience is sure that the playwright can only be heading in one of two directions: either one of his characters will die in bed, or both of them will have sex there. In the evening's sole burst of ingenuity, Mr. Horovitz nearly pulls off both these denouements, though the advanced age of Mr. Robards's teacher requires that the carnal climax be achieved by proxy.
As for the inevitable onstage death that follows, even it cannot accurately be said to bring this brazenly padded, intermissionless, almost two-hour anecdote to its final curtain. The character who survives keeps chattering away at the corpse of the deceased for another scene or so, wrapping up loose ends, offering a few sentimental tears and in general assuring the portion of the audience not lost in its own slumber that death can be a happy ending, or had better be, given Broadway ticket prices.
What precedes this coda is so jerrybuilt that it is hard to believe that "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard" was written by one of this country's most prolific professional dramatists, the author of such plays as "The Indian Wants the Bronx," "The Primary English Class" and "North Shore Fish." The evening's only stab at drama is a series of completely unconvincing revelations, all of them involving previously hidden associations between the two characters, that are meted out at the rate of roughly one every five minutes. Most of these surprises are sprung by Ms. Ivey, who turns out to be not the total stranger Mr. Robards takes her for in the opening scene but a former student in his music appreciation class and one whose entire family seems to have known the old teacher in varying degrees of intimacy, ranging from casual to lurid.
In between these bombshells come the jokes, starting with the inevitable insult humor. (She: "Saying you're a hard man to please is kind of like saying a rattlesnake is a hard animal to hug.") Much is made of how much Ms. Ivey's boots leak when she first arrives, and the puddle motif is meticulously upheld a little later when she copes at farcical length with a leaky iron. Mr. Robards's hearing aid is also a source of much buffoonery, especially when Ms. Ivey switches the radio dial from classical to pop when its batteries run out. That radio and its ubiquitous disk jockey prompt a running gag about public-radio pledge drives -- always a rip-roaring source of comedy -- and, when all else fails, Mr. Horovitz allows his otherwise prim characters a smattering of naughty words, not neglecting the new national favorite, "pubic hair." There will always be a hard-core audience for the spectacle of old people and practicing Catholics talking dirty.
"Park Your Car in Harvard Yard" has been staged on a grim Ben Edwards set that overzealously fulfills the script's description of the teacher's home as a "pathetic hovel." The director, Zoe Caldwell, has impressively timed the two most heart-tugging, theme-mongering monologues in the play -- one for him, one for her -- so that they each precisely fill out the length of the syrupy musical selection, the Pachelbel Canon, that just happens to be piping forth from the radio during both of them.
The acting is variable. Ms. Ivey, who can be a gutsy comedienne, seems entirely phony here, from her thick accent to her blubbering efforts to express grief over the rather suspicious number of past family deaths with which Mr. Horovitz hopes to elicit sympathy for her long-suffering character. The actress also is asked to perform an act of self-flagellation such as Broadway has not seen since Ms. Ivey herself engaged in an act of literal breast-beating in the short-lived "Precious Sons."
Sentenced to do much of his acting by variously knitting, wiggling and raising his eyebrows, Mr. Robards does nothing in this play either to augment or to contradict his standing as one of our best actors. Here, as in such other recent Broadway vehicles as "You Can't Take It With You" and "A Month of Sundays," he offers a light version of the tragic old codger he has played in O'Neill and, one hopes, might yet play in "King Lear." As befits his character, Mr. Robards also delivers a few lectures on musical appreciation, including one on a Bach piece in which "the same few notes are repeated in different variations over and over, nothing changed, sometimes slower, sometimes faster." In this sense, I guess, "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard" is just like Bach, or would be if only those faster interludes ever arrived.

This is the reflection I gave at church yesterday.
When I first left the church I grew up in, a fundamentalist evangelical church, one of the first doctrines I rejected was the idea that God demanded that Jesus be crucified for my sins. I couldn't (and still can't) get behind the idea of worshipping a God that demands a blood sacrifice to be appeased. And in throwing out that doctrine for a while I also threw out the idea of resurrection. Easter became an uncomfortable holiday. Something I wasn't quite sure how to observe. I didn't know how to make it meaning without buying into a theology that I find incredibly psychologically and spiritually damaging. But this is the high holy day of Christendom. If I don't believe this, then can I call myself a Christian?
I wrestled with this for a really long time. As I repackaged and reconfigured my faith this was the doctrine I couldn't figure out how to reclaim.
And then I went through my transition. And suddenly I had a framework to understand crucifixion and resurrection. A life dying so that a new life could be born. The death wasn't demanded, but inevitable. When one lives into their truth often death occurs. When one speaks truth to power often death occurs. When we live with integrity in communities that don't want us to tell our truth often death occurs. When you stand up to the Empire, when you claim that another world is possible, when you live into the truth of that possible world the powers have no choice but to try and stop you no matter what, even if that means killing you. Crucifixion isn't demanded, it's inevitable. But that isn't the final word.
For me, whether Jesus was actually resurrected or not doesn't really matter. What matters is the idea of resurrection. What gives me hope is that there is truth in this story. It might not be literal truth, but it is the deepest truth I know. And it is the truth I cling to: That there is something more powerful than fear. There is something more powerful than death.
The idea of resurrection isn't that everything miraculously gets better. It isn't that we have something to look forward to after we die. It means that here and now we get to live without fear. We get to know that there is something stronger than death. We get to know that there is power in the truth. That you can't stop the revolution. You can stare down fear and death and you can live again. You can withstand the death of relationships, the loss of communities, the loss of beliefs and doctrines that once held great meaning.
And yet we are left changed and with scars. When Jesus was resurrected (so the story goes) and he met Mary in the garden she didn't recognize him. When he sees the disciples in the upper room he shows them his scars. He is living again, but he is fundamentally changed. When we undergo resurrection we are changed. People and communities might no longer recognize us. We might carry scars that remind us of who we used to be and what we've had to come through to get to where we are. Jesus wasn't resurrected into a perfect, shiny, holy body. He carried his scars. Just like I carry the physical scars of my transition and the emotional scars of leaving my home church and community, of rethinking my faith.
I believe in the crucifixion and resurrection not as salvific in and of themselves, but as they point to the larger wonder of what it means to be fully alive. To stand up to the Empire. To confront injustice both in the world and in ourselves. To know that we can face down whatever comes and know that we can live again. That we are stronger than we know. That we can carry scars and still be whole. That is resurrection.

Endymion Spring (2006)
by Matthew Skelton, Matthew Skelton
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Magnificent! I loved it. The story drew me in. The book picked the boy to bring it to life and to bring it to its end. There was action and adventure along with some history of Johann Gutenberg and his printing press. There is the madness of adults who want the book for the knowledge and power it gives. This is one of those rare books that stays with you. It opens your imagination to what you would do if you got this book. I loved Blake as he tries to discover the secret of the book and figure out the clues that appear to him in the book. I also enjoyed the story of the blank book. I enjoyed going back to Endymion Spring in the mid-1400's to learn how the book came to be but I especially enjoyed Blake taking the book and the clues and trying to figure out what he was to do. One of my top 10 reads!
Whew! That took quite a while! I'm just listening to the "exclusive interview" with Matthew Skelton... Okay, all done.
Well, this book was really interesting, but somehow it wasn't so gripping as to motivate me to clean my house, like really good audiobooks do... ;) (Any excuse to keep reading, you see...)
The book weaves two stories together: one set at present-day Oxford University and the other in 15th century Germany.
The Oxford part of the story is about Blake, a young boy who finds a blank book in the library... or more accurately, the book finds him. And really, the book isn't TOTALLY blank, but will only release its contents (which are quite cryptic in nature) to someone of pure heart, whom it deems "worthy".
The Germany portion of the story is about a young printer's devil named Endymion Spring, who is working for the great Johann Gutenberg on printing the Bible. Endymion has to hide the book in order to keep it out of the hands of Johann Fust (Faust)... so he treks to the libraries of Oxford, which are supposed to rival the Great Library at Alexandria, to find a hiding place.
These stories are also interwoven with Blake's relationship with his younger sister, Duck, and their shared concern about their parents' seemingly crumbling relationship. Their mother is there at Oxford researching Faust, and their father, who is back in America... we don't really get to know a lot about him other than he has some interesting ideas concerning some of the topics that arise in the book.
Overall, the book sort of reminded me of Cornelia Funke's [b:Inkheart|28194|Inkheart (Inkheart, #1)|Cornelia Funke|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1266454362s/28194.jpg|2628323] series, except that Inkheart compelled me a lot more than Endymion Spring. I don't know... ES was interesting... but the writing seemed a bit stilted to me—it just didn't flow sometimes... and I wanted some additional details at times... I sorta felt like I was being left hanging. All of a sudden, I'd be like, "Wait... what?? How did THAT happen?" Maybe I wasn't paying as much attention to the audiobook as I should have been... I dunno. I just thought it could have been better—more cohesive.
I picked this book up, because, as a librarian, it is rather a prerequisite to enjoy metafiction, books about books. This has at times betrayed me (ex. The Grand Complication incident), but often works out in my favor, as with Endymion Spring. The weaving of the sections set in the past (1453 with Endymion Spring) and the present (Blake) is done expertly. The book conveys a true love of libraries and of books themselves. It does a marvelous job also of blending fantasy and historical fiction, weaving magic into a tale with a basis in truth. The characters are a bit one dimensional, but still likable (particularly Duck with her yellow raincoat and curiosity). I recommend this book to lovers of metafiction (people who liked Inkheart, I'm talking, or typing, to you).
Made from the skin of an ancient dragon and hidden deep in the labyrinth of Oxford's Bodleian Library, Endymion Spring—the mythical book of all knowledge—has finally chosen its keeper: an unsuspecting young American boy named Blake Winters. Protagonist Blake and his little sister Duck spend their days in the cavernous British library while their mother works on her latest paper. One fateful day, Blake is literally bitten by the enigmatic book, immersing him into the adventure of a lifetime. Skelton artfully creates an entertaining story chocked full of suspense, intrigue, historical fiction, and fantasy. Segmented into 26 moderate-length chapters, readers travel back and forth through time and place as the plights of Blake and Duck mirror those of Johannes Gutenberg's young apprentice, Endymion, who's body and soul were literally merged with the book over 500 years before. Descriptive language and eloquent literary conventions convey vivid impressions of sites, sounds, and smells throughout the well-developed plot. Though middle-level readers may struggle with the relatively advanced vocabulary, a preponderance of context clues coupled with clearly articulated dialog and a variety of organizational cues (table of contents, chapter titles with location information, brief summary when shifting among time eras) enhance comprehension. With its superb marriage of mystical power, fantastic responsibility, and the tribulations of a typical adolescent boy, this dramatic novel transcends age groups and may appeal to even the most reluctant readers.
Unfortunately, the description of this book seemed to be more intriguing than the story itself. I'd seen a good review of this book a few years ago & was anxious to obtain a copy, which I did, & then it sat on my bookshelf for a while. Finally delved into it & when all was said & done, I was disappointed. It sounded promising, involving a mysterious trunk, opened only when "the fangs of its serpent-head clasp taste blood." Inside the trunk is a magical type paper, made of dragon skin. The book alternates between time periods, and centuries later, a young boy in Oxford discovers a book that when touched, pierces his finger. Thus begins a quest to discover the book's secret. I suppose I need to keep in mind that this was written for a young audience. However, the ending felt unsatisfactory to me, and I would expect it might be the same for a young reader. As a sidenote, I listened to this on audio, which included an author "interview" at the end, which I found incredibly annoying & could've done without.
With all this in its favour, then, why didn't Endymion Spring fire me with the same enthusiasm that apparently triggered "one of the fiercest bidding wars in children's publishing"? I suppose the answer lies in how the story's told. This is a book that promises much. There are some undeniably intriguing ideas, but it is the back story that is far more gripping and tightly written.

In the dead of night, a cloaked figure drags a heavy box through snow-covered streets. The chest, covered in images of mythical beasts, can only be opened when the fangs of its serpent's-head clasp taste blood.
Centuries later, in an Oxford library, a boy touches a strange book and feels something pierce his finger. The volume is blank, wordless, but its paper has fine veins running through it and seems to quiver, as if it's alive. Words begin to appear on the page--words no one but the boy can see.

In the entertainment world, Eva Longoria is considered one of the most glamorous stars. She had appeared on the cover of several international women's magazines, including Vogue, Marie Claire and Harper's Bazaar. With her business ventures and successful television and movie appearances, the pretty star attracted millions of fans from all corners of the world.
The 36-year-old star managed to look sweet and endearing as she graced the pre-Oscars charity flamenco event at her Hollywood restaurant, Beso. She wore a flirty outfit to the gathering, which exhibited her ultra glamorous style. Wearing a plunging black see-through blouse, she sizzled in the occasion and inspired a lot of fashion lovers with her confidence and cheerful demeanor. She highlighted the sultry style with a pair of simple black trousers, and a smokey-eye makeup. To emphasize her eye-catching look, she braided her hair to the side to achieve a fresh-faced aura.
Before the glamorous bash started last night, Eva seemed to be proud of her trendy look as she posted a photo of herself on Twitter with a message post of: "On my way to Beso! For Gitana night!"
In the star-studded event, she posed for photographs alongside Extra host and actor, Mario Lopez. Eva was joined by her hunky fiancé, Eduardo Cruz, who wore a black hat, jeans and white shirt. They looked in good spirits as they left the restaurant together.
The "Desperate Housewives" star recently spoke of her happiness at being in a relationship with a younger man, the brother of actress Penelope, following her divorce from basketball player, Tony Parker. She enthused: "Love did not work with that person [Tony]. But it can work with another,' she told Vanity Fair. The only thing I will say is I was very lucky to find Edu."

A few weeks ago we posted pics of Danica McKellar on the set of Avril Lavigne's video for "Rock N Roll" which you can watch above and apparently features the two of them making out in a car. I'm sure there's some other stuff in it, but that would require me to watch an Avril Lavigne video and I don't care if she's making out with three Winnie Coopers and Kelly Kopawski while The Little Mermaid diddles herself in the backseat, you're out of your goddamn mind. (Although, if that stuff does happen, send up a flare. I'll be in my study.)
Avril Lavigne & Winnie Cooper Are Making Out
I couldn't make it through the whole thing
I didn't even get past "Oh! My new SONY phone is ringing!!"
If you turn the sound off, it's quite easy to make it to the 2:50ish mark for the kissing.
I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd still hit Lavigne. It'd be like banging that annoying little high school goth chick, but without the statutory rape-iness. And then have Winnie Cooper join in? No problems there.
Does sexual sickness run in your family? "Not that there's anything wrong with that!" (with grand sweeping gestures)
This just made my entire existence.
No thanks.
Has anyone else noticed that nearly all popular female artists partake in the sexualization of the military industrial complex?
Notice? I don't even know what that means.
I've noticed that we live in a culture that adores guns, violence and explosions and this is used to sell us lots of shit.
Nioj eht yvan
In today's fantasy lesbo league,
Maria + Giada > Avril + Winnie
Great video ingredients like Winnie Cooper and a buzzsaw blade guitar just can't rescue this anemic wanna be rock anthem.
The 60s and 70s had Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Doors, Woodstock, hell, everyone!
The 80s and 90s had Van Halen, Guns and Roses, Nirvana, Run DMC, Eazy E, arena rock, grunge metal…
What in the fuck have they come out with in the past 20 years music wise? Brittney Spears? N'Sync?! Rhianna?? This fucking brat?! This is what happens when capitalism becomes firnly entrenched in the music industry – fucking garbage.
I don't know where anybody finds any decent new music anymore – it infuriates me to flip through radio stations and hear half of them playing Led Zeppelin – when's the last time Led Zeppelin released an album, 30 years ago? Would people in the 1970′s have tolerated radio stations playing Benny f'ing Goodman's 30 year old shit all damned day on half the stations on the dial? The only decent newish band I've run across that I like is Coheed & Cambria. There's got to be some decent new music out there. All I run across as far as new music is stupid hipster shit that doesn't even involve actual musicians playing actual instruments.
Don't get me started on the Lumineers. I'm sure some people consider it great music, but "Ho Hey" is so bloody overrated. What, because of "Silver Linings Playbook"? Get the fuck out of here with that.
I can play "Turkey in the Straw" on the Jew's harp, want me to drop by?
There is a lot of great music, it's just not in the forefront. It sure as heck isn't on the radio, there's no point in looking to that.
I find a lot of the music I like just by following trails, so to speak. I find one band or artist I like and then I see what's connected to it. A lot of it is easily found on YouTube. I also have acquaintances who like a wide range of music, and they share that over their various profiles. PBS is also great for finding talented artists.
Basically, don't look for good music where it was found in past decades. Things have changed pretty dramatically, the music industry is struggling because of that, and it hasn't adjusted yet. All of those talented people and great songs are still there, they're just not where they used to be.
I agree. Airborne has great songs out ("Live It Up"), but meanwhile… well, there's some entertaining high-NRG songs out there, but most of it is safe shit.
Just to keep things in perspective Deacon, the 60′s and 70′s also produced The Archies and KC and the Sunshine Band.
The biggest star in the 80′s was Madonna. We also were subjected to Debbie Gibson and plenty of other crap pop. The 90′s gave us the Spice Girls and The Crash Test Dummies.
Go easy on the "everything was better in my day" routine. There are no good old days, there are just days. We've just had time to filter out the stuff worth keeping from those decades.
So what are the Led Zeppelins, The Doors, and Jimi Hendrix's of the 2000s, Phil?
Because there's not a band that's even fucking close. I'll nominate Jack White for the equivalent Hendrix…but that's about it
Hell if I know. That's what the internet is for. I stopped being in the know around '97, as my iPod will reflect.
stupid ass version of tank girl cosplaying that my chemical romance video with the lasers.
the make out session was a bit over hyped.
but i thought that the video itself was marginally interesting with the volume turned all the way down.
Creating a new term: I just Kevin Arnold'd in my pants.
well, crap – now I'm fixated on the little mermaid diddling herself – how's that work, with the fish parts on the bottom half and all that? I remember the SNL Reese Witherspoon / Will Ferrell bit, doesn't seem that appealing.
I can't tell if the 7-12 year old version of myself and the 15-20 year old version of myself is having an argument or doing the weirdest high five ever.
THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS! I just love it.
Avril Lavigne singing she's "still Rock and Roll" tells me not only has the music industry killed rock, it's desecrating it's corpse.
Congratulations on your new record-breaking hit count for a single news item. You're getting good at naming the articles.
I am so sick of all the fake homosexuality and bi-sexuality. Find a new shtick, people, it got old a long time ago. Try talent and substance, for a change.
huh…..even a published math genius chick has to pull her boobs and ass out and kiss other girls to make any real money….so much for promoting girl-powered education….
Would've been great if they didn't use their hands to block their lips. If you're going to do it, go all the way.
Well, watching that has been the lowest point of my day.So good music is now just a matter of tits, asses, how much you´re willing to show off and if you´re willing to do lesbian scenes for the video?
I mean, look at what we have these days..Britney spears, Lady gaga, Rihanna, Nicki minaj etc
Who cares if you cant sing or if you use the word "fuck" 60 times in the lyrics…they just computerize everything anyway.
Can someone please take me back to the 80s now please? I really dont want to live here any more.
There was just as much crap music then. As Uncle Phil pointed out above, we've had the luxury of time filtering out the crap from past decades, leaving us with the good and great music. We're in the midst of this decade, which means everything hasn't been filtered yet.
It seems to me that you're relying on the media to bring the good music to you, and that's not reliable because they are dealing with big changes. Hence the generic, pandering-to-the-lowest-common-denominator music that gets a lot of attention. Look elsewhere, explore genres you're not used to. If you find a good artist or band, see what other artists and bands are connected to that one.
Have fun.
Both still hot, both still bangable and that is all that really matters.
Let this be a cautionary tale: this is what happens when you marry Chad Kroeger
As if she couldn't get any worse
Nice video. Shame about the song.
Taking Joan Jett's back beat and making "rock and roll". Why does Avril exist?
Ummm. Wow. Billy Zane? Shit dude. How low, and I mean, low, like, really, unbelievably low, you've fallen. And Avril Lavigne? Did we sign up for this many songs that sound the same and still dressing like an idiot when you're almost 30? And I CAN'T believe you married the guy from Nickelback. THAT'S hilarious. YOUR HUSBAND HAS BLONDE TIPS AND FLAT IRONS HIS HAIR.
Ha ha!
didn't winnie cooper try to sell math books once, I guess she got tired of that

Babies: Dealing with day-care separation
I am having such a hard time separating from my little one as I go off to work and leave him at day care. He is eight months old and he has started crying each time I get ready to leave. Sometimes he even begins crying as we pull into the parking lot. It rips my heart out and I end up crying the rest of the way to work. How can I deal with these feelings of sadness we both have and make day care a better experience?Question:
This can be one of the hardest experiences parents have. Most parents experience some reluctance about going to work and staying home with kids. Part of us wants to stay home with our babies and part of us wants and needs to work.
There are several things to consider when a baby or child cries when dropped off at childcare. Children will often cry for a few days or weeks when they are just beginning child care. Some children will cry for an hour after drop-off and periodically throughout the day. Some will just cry for a few minutes after their parent leaves. Other children will happily wave good-bye for the first week or two of child care and when it finally sinks in, will spend the next week crying at good-byes. Still other children will make an adjustment to child care and then several weeks, months or years later will begin to cry at good-byes. The reasons for children crying at good-byes are many, ranging from a child making a healthy adjustment to child care to an indication of problems with the child-care situation or some other outside stress.
Developmentally, young children have a hard time with separation because they don't have a sense of how time works and they don't yet know the nature of families. For instance, babies and toddlers can only think about the present moment. If you leave, they can't imagine you coming back, because they aren't fully capable of thinking about the future. They also don't yet know that you are going to be "their people" for the rest of their lives, so they don't automatically assume that you will always come back.
The reason that children don't want you to leave is that you are the one they trust, the person who knows them and understands their unique style of communication. They don't yet know that someone else will also be able to keep them safe and respond to their needs and cues. That is why adjusting to child care takes some time. Children need to learn (through experience) that you will come back and that the people who are caring for them are safe, responsive and nurturing.
Other reasons children cry when they are being dropped off at childcare may be that the childcare situation is not a good match for them. This may simply be that the program is too busy and stimulating and your child has a quieter temperament or that the style of the caregiver is not comfortable for your child. Sometimes, even good programs aren't a good fit for particular children.
Another reason is that the program is not meeting children's needs. There may be too many children, not enough teachers, too small or large a space, inappropriate or inadequate materials, unskilled, untrained or overstressed caregivers. The schedule of the day may not be tailored to the needs of young children. A program that is so structured that the individual needs of children for food, sleep, play, caregiving and interaction aren't being met is not a healthy place for children to spend their time. Research shows that infants and toddlers do better in childcare when they have a "primary caregiver," someone who is primarily responsible for their caregiving and for communicating with their parent. (There may be two primary caregivers if the child is there during two work shifts.) Children need a child-care setting where caregivers are comfortable and happy. Although these are not at all the only reasons children cry at drop-off, they are important to consider when you are assessing your child's experience in child care.
Finally, a child may start crying at drop-off after having made the initial adjustment to child care because of something that is going on in his family. Stress, illness, job change, new baby or other changes in family may be cause for a child to show stress at separation. Letting caregivers know about these changes can help them meet the needs of your children.
Here are some things to think about as you work to figure out the reasons for your child's sadness and ways to help you and your child through it.
- Carefully check-out any child-care situation before you enroll your child. It is important to talk to the staff, both the director and all of the caregivers who will be interacting with your child as you are getting to know a childcare program. Read the handbook. Find out the philosophy of the program. Ask about licensing and accreditation. Observe the program at different times of the day. Check references.
Help your child make the adjustment to child care gradually. Once you have decided on your child-care setting, spend some time with your child adjusting to the program. You and your child can visit together before you ever leave. As you spend time together in the child-care setting, your child will be able to explore from the safety of your presence and will begin to get comfortable before you have to leave. This also gives you and the caregiver a chance to get to know each other. The caregiver can observe your interactions with your child and you and the caregiver can begin building the strong partnership which will form the basis of quality, consistent care for your child.
Once you start to leave your child in care, you may implement a gradual schedule, where you first leave for one hour and gradually increase the time, until you have reached the full care time. You will probably need to pay for a full-slot as you are doing this warmup, because the program won't be able to enroll another child in your child's place.
- Work towards consistency in scheduling. Even though young babies can't tell time, they begin to internalize their schedules. Once you have helped your child adjust to child care, work to keep his schedule as predictable as possible.
- Leave familiar things with your child. Children love to have pictures of their families with them in childcare. Some programs post them low on the wall or make little books with them so that infants and toddlers can see them easily. Some parents leave an article of their clothing with their baby. The familiar texture and smell can help a young child feel more comfortable. Some programs make tapes of parents talking, singing or reading to play for children when their parents are gone.
- Build a strong partnership with your child's caregiver. Sharing the care of a child is one of the most significant things two people can do together. Working in concert with your child's caregiver is crucial for the child's success in childcare. This includes spending time daily checking-in between parent and caregiver at drop-off and pick-up time. This may include a home visit where the caregiver visits the family in their home, as well as parent conferences, where the parent and caregiver talk regularly about the child's development and shared goals for the child's growth. Parent meetings in which the whole group of parents meet with caregivers to talk about children, development and the program can also be an important part of building a strong bridge between you and your child's caregivers.
- Ways to trouble-shoot when your child is showing distress. Think about the possible reasons your child is crying when you leave him. Is he still adjusting? Are there other changes going on in his life or schedule? Do you feel confident about the quality of care he is receiving and about whether it is a match for his individual needs? Talk to his caregiver. Find out how long after you leave he cries. Ask the caregiver's opinion about what she thinks is going on for your child. Spend some time with your child in child care. Observe. Talk to other parents. It is important (and not always easy) to find out if this is a temporary discomfort for your son, or if it is an indication of a need for a change. If you feel confident in your child-care situation, work to help him make the transition and give it another few weeks. Usually, with a responsive, consistent caregiver and good parent-caregiver communication, a baby can make the adjustment to childcare and learn to trust his new surroundings and caregiver.

...especially if you watch those medical shows - Watching TV can be bad for us, but sometimes it does a lot of good. Many TV series are set in hospitals and this has made people more confident about trying to resuscitate people who have strokes or are choking on food. But 77% of the people surveyed say they don't know how to help. But (believe it or not) that may not matter!
BBC News quotes ambulance tech Isobel Sternfeld as saying, "When you're talking about things like CPR, you can't make things worse?If someone's not breathing, they're not breathing. If you don't do anything, they're still not breathing, but if you do something you will be giving them a chance."
Ambulance tech Andrew New thinks that everyone should have a first aid manual at home. BBC quotes him as saying, "No home should be without one." (And maybe no home should be without a TV, either!)

The Twitterverse exploded in reposes to the world premiere of Tom Six's THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2 (FULL SEQUENCE) on opening night of Fantastic Fest where audiences were treated to a Human Centipede survival kit featuring a mint in a barf bag and a staple remover - classy! On October 7th the film will be released in 17 cities and will continue to expand nationally in addition to country-wide availability on demand starting Oct. 12th. Here's a press release detailing the ass-to-mouth insanity with poster art, images from the film and a trailer....
A Film by Tom Six
In theaters Oct. 7th, nationwide on demand Oct. 12th
Martin is a mentally disturbed loner who lives with his nagging mother in a bleak London housing project, where loud neighbors and cramped living conditions threaten to plunge this victim of sexual and psychological abuse over the edge.
He works the night shift as a security guard in an underground parking garage, where customers and their vehicles come and go as he indulges his obsession with THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE) watching the film over and over on the small TV set in his office and meticulously examining the scrapbook he has lovingly filled with memorabilia from the film, including the mouth-to-anus surgery instructions made famous by Dr. Heiter, the mad scientist from Martin's favorite movie.
Pushed to the brink by his harridan mother, haunted by the teasing voices of his abusive and incarcerated father, Martin sets into motion his plan to emulate Heiter's centipede by creating his own version, in a rented warehouse, which he begins to fill with victims, including a loud neighbor, two drunk nightclubbers, a prostitute and a lecherous john, and several more … including Martin's pièce de résistance, one of the actresses from THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FIRST SEQUENCE).
Except that Martin lacks the surgical skill, medical instruments and operating theater necessary to create a larger centipede in the image of Dr. Heiter's masterpiece. So he makes use of materials at hand: duct tape, staple gun, household tools and a fanboy moxie.
What follows is one of the most harrowing and terrifying films ever conceived, featuring a central character that makes FIRST SEQUENCE's Dr. Heiter seem downright cuddly in comparison. THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE (FINAL SEQUENCE) is a triumph in biological horror by one of the new masters of the horror film.
Tom Six's internationally controversial follow-up to the original cult smash, THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE: FULL SEQUENCE ups the ante with a brute force unparalleled in motion pictures today.

Makes 4 ot 6 servings
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup natural unsweetened cocoa powder plus more for pan
- 1/4 cup cake flour
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup plus 6 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips (do not exceed 61% cacao)
For cake:
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line the bottom of a 13x9x2" metal baking pan with parchment paper. Butter paper and sides of pan; dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. Sift flour and remaining 1/4 cup cocoa powder through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Repeat sifting 2 more times. Set flour mixture aside. Crack 2 eggs into a large deep bowl. Separate remaining 2 eggs, adding yolks to bowl with whole eggs and placing whites in a medium deep bowl. Set whites aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat whole eggs and yolks on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium; gradually add 1/2 cup sugar. Beat until mixture is thick and pale, about 3 minutes. Beat in vanilla.
Using clean, dry beaters, beat egg whites until foamy. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon sugar over. Continue to beat until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Sprinkle remaining 5 teaspoons sugar over and beat until meringue is thick and glossy, about 30 seconds.
Using a rubber spatula, fold half of meringue into egg mixture. Sift half of dry ingredients over batter and fold until just blended. Repeat with remaining meringue and dry ingredients.
Scrape batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly to edges. Bake until cake springs back when pressed gently with your fingertips, 10-12 minutes.
Let cake cool in pan on a wire rack. Run a knife around sides of pan to release cake.
Place a cutting board on top of pan. Invert cake onto board; remove pan. Carefully peel away parchment. Using a serrated knife, trim edges to create an even layer.
For chocolate icing:
Bring cream to a simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Remove from heat; add chocolate chips and stir until icing is smooth and glossy. Let cool to thicken slightly, about 15 minutes.
Using an offset spatula, spread half of icing down the middle of the cake; smooth evenly to the edges. Cut cake crosswise into 3 pieces. Stack pieces to make 3 layers. Spread remaining icing on sides of cake. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.

- About KHI
The House Health and Human Services Committee requested additional information from the Kansas Health Institute on the impacts of secondhand smoke on three areas.
In testimony to the House Health and Human Services Committee, KHI summarizes the research about the impact of smoke-free policies.
This presentation describes the need for detailed, state-level data about the adequacy of health insurance plans.
This annual publication of the Kansas Health Institute provides a snapshot of the insurance status of Kansans in various categories, including age, gender and work status. It also describes how the insurance status of Kansans is changing over time.
In testimony to the House Health and Human Services Committee, KHI discussed the results of a study that found Lawrence's smoke-free ordinance had no impact on overall sales in the restaurant and bar industry.
In testimony to the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee, KHI found no evidence that the adoption of a smoke-free ordinance in Lawrence had a negative impact on overall restaurant and bar sales. KHI also found no studies in scientific, peer-reviewed journals that document a long-term, negative, community-wide impact on restaurants and bars following implementation of a smoking ban.
There has been much debate about the impact of Lawrence's comprehensive smoke-free ordinance on the restaurant and bar industry. This KHI study indicates that the ordinance did not negatively affect the industry as a whole.
Employment, even full-time, is no guarantee of access to employer-sponsored insurance. This new issue brief discusses the availability of employer-based health insurance in Kansas.
Twenty-three percent of Kansans age 19-34 are uninsured. This fact sheet discusses this population and why these individuals are more likely to be uninsured than any other age group.
In testimony to the House Committee on Taxation, KHI provided an overview of the policy debate about allowing a full deduction of out-of-pocket medical expenses on federal income taxes if health insurance is purchased.

Are JetBlue, Southwest preparing for a showdown over Newark?
JetBlue announced earlier this week that it would add new service between Newark Liberty and Boston Logan, where the carrier operates a large base. JetBlue says it plans to fly four daily round-trip flights on the route, saying in a release the route would begin in May 2011.
However, JetBlue did not specify where it would obtain the slots to operate the new route from capacity controlled Newark. One possibility is that JetBlue could shift capacity from one of the five Florida routes it currently flies from Newark, moving some of those frequencies to start up the Boston route.
Given that JetBlue would say only that its Newark-Boston routes would start in May 2011, that would seem a possibility since that start date would come as warm weather takes hold in the North and Florida demand begins to moderate.
I posed that question to JetBlue, and was told by an airline spokesman only that the airline is "finalizing details" and to "expect more information as we firm up the schedule and move closer to our target launch date."
MORE: JetBlue CEO defends growth plans (Sept. 2, 2010)
Of course, JetBlue's announcement comes just days after low-cost rival Southwest announced a deal with United and Continental that would give it access to Newark. So, could JetBlue's new route to Boston be a possible preemptive strike against Southwest and its looming Newark service? Per its agreement with United and Continental, Southwest's Newark service is scheduled to begin as early as March.
While JetBlue officials did not answer that specific question, this would not be the first time it has appeared to respond in such a way to encroachment by Southwest.
In 2009, Southwest announced it would begin service to Boston -- a JetBlue stronghold. Shortly after that announcement, JetBlue announced it would begin flying from Boston to Baltimore/Washington -- Southwest's busiest city in the Northeast and one of the most important cogs in the carrier's route map.
ARCHIVES: JetBlue adds BWI, sets stage for showdown with Southwest
Other media outlets also jumped on the idea that JetBlue may be trying to head Southwest off at the pass. The Boston Globe suggests "JetBlue's move into Newark could be a pre-emptive strike against Southwest, which announced last week that it would begin flying out of Newark in March."
PHOTO GALLERY: Low-cost carriers battle on BWI-Boston route
The Dallas Morning News also suggested JetBlue's move was "preemptive." Reporter Terry Maxon adds JetBlue even appears to be "stealing Southwest's usual argument" by saying "the Newark-Boston route is overpriced and that it will bring lower fares to the market. That route has higher average fares that JetBlue's transcontinental routes out of Boston, JetBlue said."
Southwest spokesman Paul Flaningan tells Maxon: "While details on what cities Southwest will serve from Newark and on what dates that service will begin have not yet been determined, it's not surprising to see this activity from our competition, especially in the ultra-competitive BOS market where a number of low-cost carriers operate."
Stay tuned ...

Ocean Hero Finalists: Zach Rome
This is the first in a series of posts about this year's Ocean Hero finalists.
Starting today, I'll be highlighting each of this year's Ocean Hero finalists on the blog, since their stories deserve more space than what fits in the voting boxes at oceana.org/heroes.
First up we have Zach Rome, whose love for the oceans began at age 11, when his grandfather took him scuba diving in the Florida Keys. He was hooked, and spent subsequent summer vacations scuba diving around the world, climbing the scuba certification ladder.
He went on to study marine biology at the University of Miami, where he learned just how important and fragile the oceans are. He decided that after graduation, he would devote himself to passing on that knowledge.
After spending a few years working as a scuba instructor and middle school science teacher, he founded The Schooba Academy, a nonprofit organization based in Brooklyn, NY that teaches students from low-income communities about science through scuba diving.

A number of villages in and around Rajam produce sugarcane and supply the same to GMR sugar factory. The Cane Extension programme was started in April 2004 for the benefit of these villages.
Process:To initiate activities, 25 volunteers were selected from these villages to work for the programme. Free homeopathy snakebite medicines were distributed to the villagers. Since then with the help of around 400 volunteers, a number of activities have been carried out for the overall development of more than 1000 sugarcane villages in and around Rajam,
Regular health camps are conducted for these villages. Youth leadership training programmes are organised with the purpose of developing leadership skills amongst youth. Other than regular programmes, emergency relief initiatives are also undertaken. For instance during floods in Rajam in 2006, clothes, uniforms, books, tool kits, food material and bamboo sticks were distributed to affected families as part of this programme..
Achievement/ strengths: The active involvement of youth across the villages is the major achievement of this programme. 400 youth working as volunteers have come forward to serve their communities voluntarily.

While Konami has just released a Metal Gear Rising demo on the PSN, it's currently region-locked to Japanese PS3′s only. Those of us in the West have only two options for getting our hands on it. Either we buy the already released Zone of the Enders HD Collection that includes the demo, or we simply wait until next month.
According to Konami, those who don't reside in the glorious land of Nippon will be able to download the Metal Gear Rising demo sometime in January. It will be coming to the American PSN as well as Xbox Live, so gamers all over will be able to know the joy of violently decapitating watermelons.
While the region-locking is a huge bummer, I guess waiting for a month isn't the worst thing in the world.
