August / September 1999
1999 Session: Many Defeats, Few Victories
by Sandra Eid, Legislative Coordinator
Emboldened by the election of a Republican governor (the first in more than two decades), Republican legislators resurrected a number of anti-environmental measures that had either failed to pass in previous years or been vetoed. all of them passed this year, and all of them were signed into law.
The resurrected bills limit prescribed burning on public lands; continue privilege and immunity for businesses doing self-audits; advance property rights for developers; and require legislative approval for the reintroduction of endangered species. The Sierra Club and other environmental groups opposed these measures. The General Assembly and Governor Owens ignored our opposition.
A small number of good environmental bills also passedŚprimarily, bills that continue programs already in existence. But once again, the legislature failed to address public concerns about growth and sprawl, except for the formation of an interim committee.
The environmental scorecards that accompany this article show cause for alarm. In 1997 there were only four senators with scores of 40 or lower. In 1998 that number increased to 13. This year (1999) there are 18 senators (51 percent) who rejected most efforts to protect our environment. The numbers in the House of Representatives are even more alarming: 15 in ĺ97; 21 in Ĺ98; 37 in Ĺ99Śfully 57 percent who, by scoring 40 or lower, seem to be defying the Colorado voters who identify themselves as environmentalists.
One of the victories for voters and the environment was the defeat of a bill that should never have been introduced. HB 1384 CONTROL OF ODOR EMISSIONS (Rep. Spradley, R-Buelah) did not appear on either the status sheet or the calendar prior to the day of its hearing. It was considered by the House Agriculture, Natural Resources, & Livestock Committee on the 111th day of the 120-day session.
HB 1384 would have significantly altered the air quality and citizen suit provisions of Amendment 14 REGULATION OF COMMERCIAL HOG FARMS. This amendmentŚdirected at large-scale factory hog operationsŚwas adopted by Colorado voters in November, Ĺ98, by a vote of 62.4 percent.
Amendment 14, itself, was the result of legislative inaction, and the failure of the hog industry (and other concentrated animal feeding operators) to recognize their obligations to protect water and air quality. HB 1384 was a last-minute, bad faith effort to get the legislature to overturn portions of Amendment 14. The bill was killed by a committee vote of 7 to 6.
Air Quality
SB 145 AIR QUALITY STANDARDS FOR PUBLIC LANDS (Sen. Wattenberg, R-Walden, Rep. Taylor, R-Steamboat Springs) was one of the bills resurrected from previous years. (As SB 98 to 4, it was vetoed by Governor Romer.) SB 145 requires the submission of federal land management plans to the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission. It also requires the denial of permits for prescribed burning unless the plans are consistent with Commission recommendations.
The goal of SB 145 is to promote logging on public lands, and to limit prescribed burningŚan important tool for reducing wildfire risks and for maintaining forest integrity. The Sierra Club opposed the bill and believes that it is illegal and unenforceable. SB 145 creates a new requirement for federal land managers that is not applicable to other parties. Nonfederal activities on federal lands are specifically exempted by the bill. SB 145 passed the Senate by a vote of 22-12-1 and the House by a vote of 43 to 22. Governor Owens signed the bill into law on May 24.
A second billŚHB 1351 REGIONAL HAZE POLLUTION (Rep. Mitchell, R-Broomfield, Sen. Teck, R-Grand Junction)Śalso applies only to public lands. It does not address pollution on private lands. HB 1351 requires the periodic preparation of emissions inventories of pollutants that affect visibility in class I (wilderness) areas. The inventories are to include: stationary sources, mobile sources, paved and unpaved roads, fires, and biogenic sources (flora and fauna). The Sierra Club opposed HB 1351. It is a violation of the federal Clean Air Act to impose requirements on federal and state governments that are not imposed equally on other parties. HB 1351 passed the House by a vote of 38-26-1 and the Senate by a vote of 24 to 11. Governor Owens signed it into law on June 2.
Energy, Minerals
HB 1249 SEVERANCE TAX MODIFICATIONS (Rep. Spradley, R-Beulah, Sen. Wattenberg, R-Walden) was a bill by which legislators, anxious to reduce the collection of excess revenues, bestowed substantial benefits on the mining industry. For each company involved, HB 1249 provides a mineral severance tax exemption for: (1) the first 300,000 tons of coal produced each quarter; (2) the first 625,000 tons of molybdenum ore produced each quarter; and, (3) the first $19 million of gold produced each year. The combined total of these exemptions is estimated to be $3.8 million annually.
Severance taxes are levied upon the removal of nonrenewable resources (and their sale for private profit) ôto recapture (for Coloradans) a portion of this lost wealth.ö Proponents of HB 1249 argued that the bill would help mining in the state ôto remain competitive.ö After passage of this measure, but even before its signing by the governor, Cyprus Amax Minerals announced that it is selling its coal interests in Colorado to a German company. The Sierra Club opposed HB 1249. The House passed it by a vote of 54-8-3 and the Senate passed it by a vote of 35 to 0. The governor signed it on May 24.
With a ploy common in Washington, D.C., but not common in Colorado, the sponsors of HB 1271 ALTERNATIVE FUELS TAX EXEMPTION CREDIT & REBATE (former Rep. Sullivant, R-Breckenridge, Sen. Evans, R-Parker) introduced the same bill ( SB 9) simultaneously in the opposite chamber. SB 9 was eventually sacrificed as HB 1271 moved forward. This bill creates a state sales and use tax exemption for specified motor vehicles, power sources for motor vehicles, and parts used for converting the power sources of motor vehicles (greater than 10,000 pounds) that are certified by EPA or any state as meeting an emission standard equal to or more stringent than the low-emitting vehicle standard. The Sierra Club supported HB 1271. The House passed it a vote of 63-0-2 and the Senate passed it by a vote of 34 to 1. The governor signed it on May 28.
Environmental Self-Audits
Another resurrected billŚSB 70 ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT PRIVILEGE (Sen. Powers, R-Colorado Springs, Rep. Taylor, R-Steamboat Springs)Śtook the place of a bill (HB 98-1418) that failed to pass last year. SB 70 repeals the sunset date and continues indefinitely a program created in 1994. It grants to businesses doing self-audits the privilege of keeping environmental violations secret from the public. It also ensures that no penalties can be considered for either civil or criminal violations. The Sierra Club opposed SB 70.
At the hearing held by the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee, an alternative bill (SB 138) was presented that described a self-audit program that would have been acceptable to EPA and environmentalists. Both the Attorney Generalĺs office and the Department of Public Health & Environment testified that, during the THREE weeks preceding the hearing, they had not had time to analyze SB 138 COMMUNITY POLLUTION PREVENTION (Sen. Thiebaut, D-Pueblo). SB 70 was passed by the committee and SB 138 was killed. The Senate passed SB 70 by a vote of 27-7-1. The House passed it by a vote of 44-18-3. Governor Owens signed the bill into law on April 14.
Hazardous Materials
The three bills in this categoryŚall supported by the Sierra ClubŚwere noncontroversial and have been signed into law. SB 20 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE RESPONSE MONEYS (Sen. Phillips, D-Louisville, Rep. Zimmerman, D-Thornton) and HB 1056 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE EMERGENCY REPONSE (Rep. Berry, R-Grand Junction, Sen. Phillips, D-Louisville) were products of a 1998 interim committee. SB 20 creates a fund for emergency planning and response, and appropriates money for the purchase of a hazmat training vehicle that can be used to train local responders. HB 1056 designates which authorities have responsibility for hazmat incidents in various locations, clarifies the duties of different agencies, and creates a temporary committee to make recommendations to resolve reimbursement claims that result from hazmat incidents.
HB 1213 EXTEND VOLUNTARY CLEAN-UP ACT (Rep. Spradley, R-Beulah, Sen. Feeley, D-Lakewood) repeals the sunset date and continues indefinitely a law passed in 1994 that encourages the voluntary cleanup of properties contaminated by hazardous substances or petroleum products. Originally sponsored by former State Rep. DeGette (D-Denver), this law does not apply to listed or proposed Superfund sites, or to properties subject to other federal or state laws. It does facilitate the transfer, redevelopment, and reuse of existing, industrial properties.
Land Use
SB 15 EXPAND COUNTY LEASE PURCHASE AUTHORITY (Sen. Phillips, D-Louisville, Rep. Witwer, R-Evergreen) was another noncontroversial bill. Previously, counties have had the authority to enter into lease purchase agreements to finance courthouses, jails, and other buildings and equipment. SB 15 expands that authority to include the financing of public parks, trails, golf courses, and open space. HB 1155 CONSERVATION EASEMENT TAX CREDIT (Rep. Spradley, R-Beulah, Sen. Owen, R-Greeley) creates an income tax credit (not to exceed $100,000) for any person who donates all or part of a perpetual conservation easement to a governmental entity or a charitable organization. This act takes effect on January 1, 2000. The Sierra Club supported SB 15 and HB 1155. Both have been signed into law.
Two comprehensive land use bills never advanced beyond the committee level. SB 107 LOCAL GOVERNMENT GROWTH MANAGEMENT (Sen. Pascoe, D-Denver) was killed by a 4 to 3 vote of the Senate Local Government Committee. SB 211 COLORADO RESPONSIBLE GROWTH ACT (Sen. Sullivant, R-Breckenridge) passed that committee, but was killed by the Senate State, Veterans, & Military Affairs Committee. To date, legislators have refused to seriously consider any bills that would make meaningful changes in Coloradoĺs land use laws. This, in spite of statewide concern about development and growth.
Supported by the Sierra Club, SB 136 COLORADO NATURAL AREAS COUNCIL (Sen. Dennis, R-Pueblo West, Rep. Young, R-Lamar) passed easily and has been signed by Governor Owens. This bill repeals the sunset date and continues until July 1, 2004, the council of advisers who evaluate sites for inclusion in the Colorado Natural Areas Program. Also supported by the Sierra Club, HB 1328 LOCAL GOVERNMENT GROWTH ASSISTANCE (Rep. George, R-Rifle) did not fare so well. This was the sponsorĺs fourth attempt to create a pilot program for the sharing of state grants and loans between counties that benefit from growth and counties that subsidize growth. For the first time, this bill was debated on the House floor, where it became linked to expansion of the Denver Convention Center. HB 1328 passed the House on Second Reading, but was lost on Third Reading (31 to 34).
Opposed by the Sierra Club, HJR 1020 OPPOSE COLORADO WILDERNESS ACT (Rep. Hoppe, R-Sterling, Sen. Dennis, R-Pueblo West) was adopted by both the House and Senate. (Joint resolutions need not be signed by the governor and cannot be
vetoed.) HJR 1020, presumably, expresses ôthe will of the legislatureö which, in this instance, is opposition to the BLM wilderness bill recently introduced by U.S. Congresswoman Diana DeGette. The Sierra Club supports the DeGette proposalŚ1.4 million acres that have been determined by the BLM to meet the statutory requirements of the 1964 Wilderness Act. The House vote on HJR 1020 was a voice vote (unrecorded). The Senate vote was 22-12-1.
All four bills in this category were resurrectedŚeither from previous years or, in the case of SB 218, from this year. SB 133 PROPERTY RIGHTS VIOLATION ATTORNEY FEES (Sen. Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs) had been attempted by the same sponsor in 1996. It was killed in a committee that year. This year, SB 133 was defeated on the Senate floor. The bill would have allowed a private citizen who prevailed in a real property controversy to recover attorney fees and costs, but did not extend the same opportunity to a governmental entity that prevailed. The defeat of SB 133 was the only good news involving takings legislation.
HB 1192 PROPERTY RIGHTS (Rep. Stengel, R-Littleton, Sen. Anderson, R-Lakewood) was identical to a bill that had passed and been vetoed by Governor Romer two years in a row (1996 and 1997). After passing the House this year by a vote of 39-25-1, HB 1192 was killed by the Senate Local Government Committee. Almost immediately it was reintroduced as SB 218 PROPERTY RIGHTS (same sponsors) and assigned by the Senate leadership to a ôfriendlierö committee. SB 218 passed the Senate by a vote of 19 to 16 and the House by a vote of 35-29-1. Governor Owens signed it into law on May 17.
The Sierra Club opposed all of the bills in this category. SB 218 upsets the balance in law that has existed between the rights of individual property owners and the rights of the community-at-large. It makes it more difficult for local governments to exercise their legitimate land use authority by raising the burden of proof by which they must support their actions, and by creating a procedure for contesting decisions that parallels a procedure already in existence.
As introduced, HB 1280 INVESTMENT RECOVERY ACT (Rep. McPherson, R-Aurora, Sen, Lamborn, R-Colorado Springs) was similar to another bill that had been vetoed by Governor Romer in 1997. HB 1280 would have allowed the ôvestingö of a developerĺs property rights during the preliminary stages of the development processŚso early as to make public input meaningless. If any changes had been demanded subsequent to the point of ôvestingö, the developer would have been entitled to claim compensation from the public. HB 1280 was significantly amended during its passage through the House and Senate but, in its final version, it was still objectionable to the Sierra Club. It passed the House by a vote of 36-28-1 and the Senate by a vote of 20-14-1. Governor Owens signed it into law on May 24.
Although this is an extremely important resource area, there was little legislative activity this year. HB 1050 WATER PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PROCESS (Rep. Smith, R-Grand Junction) was a second attempt by the sponsor to create a process whereby the state could plan for the development of water projects. The Sierra Club supported the idea of local watershed planning groups to identify needs in their respective basins, but opposed the subsequent takeover of the process by the state. HB 1050 did not move beyond the House Agriculture, Livestock, & Natural Resources Committee. The first good environmental bill to pass was HB 1054 WATER CONSERVATION SUNSET DATES (Rep. Gotlieb, R-Denver, Sen. Chlouber, R-Leadville). This measure repeals the sunset dates and continues indefinitely a number of water conservation programs that have proven their effectiveness. HB 1054 passed the House and Senate unanimously and Governor Owens signed it on March 5.
The three bills in this categoryŚtargeted at the Division of Wildlife (DOW) and opposed by the Sierra ClubŚillustrate a state agency under siege by legislators and special interests. SB 214 FUNDING THE WILDLIFE EDUCATION COUNCIL (Sen. Dennis, R-Pueblo West, Rep. Johnson, R-Fort Collins) advances the interests of an external ôadvisory councilö that was created in ĺ98 to promote hunting and fishing. As DOW revenues fall (and popular programs such as Watchable Wildlife are being curtailed) it is difficult for environmentalists to see some of the remaining dollars be used for promoting only the consumption of wildlife. However, nonconsumptive users will probably always be fighting for ôa place at the tableö as long as DOWĺs primary source of funding is license fees. SB 214 passed the Senate by a vote of 24 to 11 and the House by a vote of 56 to 9. It was signed into law on June 4.
The last bill that was resurrected from a previous session was HB 1229 REINTRODUCTION OF ENDANGERED SPECIES (Rep. Johnson, R-Fort Collins, Sen. Wattenberg, R-Walden). This bill was vetoed by Governor Romer in 1995. HB 1229 requires that the legislature act by bill specifically naming the threatened or endangered species, and the manner of its introduction or reintroduction before any state or local government agency can participate in such activity. This bill is another slap at the authority of DOW, and the wishes of the majority of Coloradans who support endangered species recovery. It substitutes politics for the expertise of biologists and other wildlife professionals. HB 1229 passed the House by a vote of 41-22-2 and the Senate by a vote of 20-13-2. Governor Owens signed the bill into law on April 22.
HB 1313 WILDLIFE COMMISSION OPERATION (Rep. Alexander, R-Montrose, Sen. Teck, R-Grand Junction) began as a bad bill (favoring sportsmen and outfitters) and took a sharp turn late in the process that made it even worse. As drafted, HB 1313 eliminated the three members of the Wildlife Commission that represent the ôpublic at largeö. In its final version, two of those members have been restored, however, the heads of two executive departments (Agriculture and Natural Resources) have been added as ex-officio Commission members. Such additions create a situation whereby the citizens on the panel may be intimidated by the Cabinet officers. Late in the process (beyond the point of public testimony), HB 1313 was further amended to change DOW from a Type 1 to a Type 2 agencyŚreducing its autonomy and placing it more firmly under the control of Natural Resources. (The Wildlife Commission, itself, remains a Type 1 entity, which raises questions about the coordination of future decision-making.) HB 1313 passed the Senate by a vote of 30-3-2 and was readopted unanimously by the House. Governor Owens signed the bill on May 17.

To Your Health: Single-day treatment for breast cancer being studied at Christ Medical Center
BY DR. ADAM I. RIKER Medical director/Advocate Cancer Institute June 24, 2014 9:56AM
Dr. Adam Riker | Supplied photo
Updated: July 26, 2014 6:09AM
The Advocate Cancer Institute, part of Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, has successfully treated its first five women with an exciting and innovative method of delivering radiation therapy to the breast, as part of a comprehensive one-day treatment for their breast cancer.
Initially, this unique approach to treating breast cancer will be performed under an investigational, newly approved clinical trial. The purpose of this trial is to determine whether a single dose of radiation therapy to a specific area of the breast is equally effective as the standard six-week (five days a week) course of radiation therapy to the entire breast (referred to as whole breast radiation).
The obvious advantage of this one-day treatment is to be able to effectively combine surgery with radiation into a single day, providing efficiency in treatment and easier return of the patient to her normal routine.
The protocol is aimed to treat women with low-risk, early-stage breast cancer, performed while the patient is asleep in the operating room, as a completely outpatient procedure.
Once the breast surgeon removes the tumor with a lumpectomy, a two-minute dose of intense radiation is then targeted to the lumpectomy cavity where the tumor was removed.
Previous studies, mainly performed in Europe, have shown that this two-minute dose of radiation is very safe and likely to be as effective as the current standard of care with six weeks of radiation therapy to the entire breast.
This new approach to delivering radiation to the tumor bed is provided by a device called a mobile linear accelerator, the Mobetron, designed to safely deliver intraoperative electron-based radiation treatment (IOERT) in the operating room without any special shielding. The women will also receive hormonal therapy treatment, standard postsurgical therapy, but will require no further surgery or radiation after this one-day outpatient treatment for their breast cancer.
This protocol is being spearheaded by Dr. Barbara Krueger and myself, the two senior surgeons for the breast cancer program at Christ Medical Center, in collaboration with the department of radiation oncology.
We are excited to be able to offer this outpatient, one-day, comprehensive treatment for selected patients with early, low-risk breast cancer. The use of IOERT has been studied in-depth and is well-established in Europe and Asia, with more than 16,000 women with breast cancer treated with IOERT as part of their treatment. We are especially excited to be able to offer this cutting-edge, one-day treatment as an outpatient to our select breast cancer patients, especially since we are the only facility in Illinois that offers a similar approach to treatment with IOERT.
"We have also established the first U.S. IOERT Protocol Working Group and Registry for Breast cancer treatment (PROGAR-Breast), so that our protocol can be shared among interested centers throughout the U.S.", said Krueger, medical director of the Breast Cancer Program. "Once we have treated 100 patients, we will look at the outcomes for all patients and answer the question as to whether this one-day approach is as good as the current therapy with radiation therapy for six weeks. If the answer is yes, we will have dramatically changed the way we can treat select patients with early breast cancer, now receiving all of their needed treatment in a single trip to the hospital, going home the same day."
The Advocate Cancer Institute is now offering this treatment to all women who meet the selection criteria of the clinical protocol, even if they live far away from the hospital, as this is an outpatient procedure.
Please inquire about the eligibility criteria for this protocol and learn further details about this treatment by scheduling an appointment with our breast surgeons by calling (708) 346-4055.
Dr. Adam I. Riker is the medical director of the Cancer Institute at Advocate Christ Medical Center.

I'm super de dooper excited to announce that six people linked up to this Meme last week! YAHOO! I hope that it is encouraging you all to reach your weekly goals.
I'm also proud to say that I did very well with my goals this week as well. My bedroom is officially ALL painted (after about 8 months of being in various stages of done), I drank over 8 liters of water this week, I blogged every day except Wednesday so nearly reached that goal, the buttons and guidelines should be working (THEY AREN'T) for Goal Planning Monday (you can get them here) and I should, if I can stay awake long enough be able to finish 2 Samuel tonight (I'm posting on Sunday evening in case there are any early bird posters out there!)
I love how Suzanne over at Fruitful Words broke down her goals into parts so I think I will give that a try for a couple of my goals this week.
1. Continue to get less calories from liquids. My weight is continuing to rise and while I don't normally care much about these things I know it is because I am getting way too many calories from unhealthy drinks that I could be getting elsewhere. This week I need to
- Continue drinking lots of water
- Limit my other drinks to vegetable juice and herbal teas (which maybe a coffee or two thrown in on those harder days)
2. Finish Raudhan's sweater. Should do it while it is still winter, eh?
- knit both sleeves while traveling to and from Sydney this week.
- sew it together and add the collar over the weekend.
3. Read 1 Kings, 2 Kings. I'll admit that I'm slowing down in my reading of the Bible. I've found myself a few times wishing I could just stop to read something else for a while and as a result I'm not giving as much thought and reflection to what I actually am reading and really, that is no better than not reading it at all. I'll slow down and do some other reading as well this week and see how that goes.
4. Exercise. Yep, last week I said it wasn't going to happen but it really needs to. I feel better when I move so rain or shine (or snow) I need to get out walking three times this week. Maybe I'll shovel or something or leave the kids with their dad and take an evening sprint or something. Moving does a body good though and I really should do more of it.
5. Work on super secret project. It's terrifying but I have to try something new in the next week or two and I figure I should get a head start on it as I really don't have a clue what I am doing so I may need several weeks to be successful. I cannot tell you what it is right now as it is TOP SECRET but if it works out I will be really proud and share with you eventually, I promise!
What are your goals for the week?

Not so fast, Motorola. Sure, the telecommunications giant is on the verge of handing over its wireless network business to Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) in a $1.2 billion acquisition. But telecommunications equipment company Huawei Technologies plans to slow things down by suing Motorola in a U.S. District Court to prevent what it claims is the illegal transfer of its intellectual property to NSN. Bottom line: Huawei doesn't want NSN to get hold of its proprietary technology now that Motorola has split into two companies and plans on selling much of its network-equipment arm to NSN.
For more than a decade now, Huawei and Motorola have had a cooperative relationship where Motorola has resold Huawei wireless network products to customers under the Motorola name. During this period, Motorola was provided with products and confidential Huawei IP developed by Huawei's team of more than 10,000 engineers, claims a Huawei press release.
Despite efforts to ensure that Motorola does not transfer any proprietary information to NSN, Huawei argues that Motorola has not responded "with assurances that it will prevent disclosure of that information to NSN. If Huawei's proprietary commercial property and information is transferred to a third party, Huawei will suffer irreparable commercial damage. Motorola's failure to adopt measures sufficient to ensure that Huawei's proprietary information remains confidential has compelled the company to file for the appropriate legal protection of its rights."
In October, Huawei announcedlatest initiative to gain competitive advantage – an app store. According to a PC World report, the apps store will be offered as a hosted service to operators seeking to leverage opportunities in this space, yet don't want to invest the time or money to build their own. its
Huawei's Digital Shopping Mall will offer a library of videos, music, e-books and roughly 80,000 mobile applications. Such offerings can help telecom companies battling declining profits as they migrate to next-generation network infrastructure. The Digital Shopping Mall can help to offset costs while also offering telecoms a new way to generate more revenue from users.

No, the connection with virtue mart is only the coupon number and amount. The card payment is made in my component only, and for now I accept only regular Paypal, the component is ready to add more method and I begin to do so in January.
Thanks for your support

This is a staple dish in North India, where it is known as the queen of all dais. It is also referred to as maa di dal. Translated literally this means "Mother's lentils," which pretty much says it all in terms of how Punjabis view this dish. When cooked over a slow fire, the dish is incredibly rich and hearty. Most North Indian restaurants turn it into dal makhani by adding butter or cream.
Because this is a tougher lentil than most, it usually takes longer to cook on the stovetop. It's often cooked over the lowest of flames in a heavy pot overnight, which is why it's so helpful to have a slow cooker to do all the legwork for you. Cooking this dish slowly and for a longer period of time breaks the lentils down to a point where you may not even need to add cream and butter. I never do. But, if you prefer it richer, by all means add it in! The mustard oil is optional, but my nani (maternal grandmother) always added it to help the lentils break open and infuse them with flavor.
1. Put the black lentils in the slow cooker.
2. In a food processor, grind the onion, ginger, garlic, green chiles, and 1 cup (201 g) of the cilantro. Add this mixture to the lentils along with the cumin, coriander, garam masala, salt, turmeric, red chile powder, and water.
3. Cook on high for 4 hours. Add the mustard oil, if desired.
4. Cook for another 4 hours. Mix in the remaining cilantro and add the cream or yogurt, if you wish. Garnish with a pat of butter and chopped onions and tomatoes. Serve with basmati or brown rice or with roti or noon, an onion salad, and yogurt.
To make this dish in a 3½-quart slow cooker, halve all the ingredients and proceed with the recipe. A half recipe makes 8 cups (1.89 L).
Slow cooker size: 5-quart
Can these Recipes be made on the stovetop?
Absolutely. Just keep in mind that when cooking on the stove, you'll use a quarter more water because liquids evaporate. So, if a slow cooker recipe requires 4 cups of water, use 5 cups when making it on the stovetop. Also, though you can keep your pot at a low simmer on the stovetop, you still always want to keep an eye on it to prevent drying and burning. If food-especially beans and other legumes-starts to dry out, just add more water and continue to cook.
The rule in the land of slow cookers is usually never to open the lid while cooking for fear of losing critical heat and slowing down the cooking process. This may be true, but I have a tough time following the rules myself. Also, there are some dishes, such as Curried Spinach with Homemade Cheese (Palak Paneer), that need to be stirred during cooking. Know that the cooking times cited in my recipes reflect my inability to keep the lid shut, so to speak. Just do your best to limit peeking. A good rule-of-thumb is to add about 5 minutes of cooking time for every time you lift the lid.
Black Lentils:
Black lentiis black gram (urad, maa, matpe beans): This lentil is one of the best-known throughout India, especially because of its use in many Hindu ceremonies. It's easy to recognize because it's jet black, tiny, and oval-shaped. Like other lentils it comes in four forms: whole with the skin on (sabut urad), whole with the skin off, split with the skin on (urad dal), and split with the skin off. Of course, the first form is the most nutritious. The other forms of this lentil have their own unique textures and qualities when cooked. Removing the skin and splitting the lentil makes it creamier and easier to digest.
Garam Masala:
This spice mix is one of the most common in North India. It includes coriander, cumin, cloves, cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. You can purchase the spices already ground or buy a packet of all of the above combined but left whole for you to grind later. If you grind them yourself, remember to balance the amount of each spice used. And be careful, as the whole cinnamon can be a little challenging to grind all the way down. Don't be intimidated to go this route though-I've done it and the results are wonderful. In most dishes, the garam masala is sprinkled over the food toward the end of cooking, but I prefer to put it in at the beginning along with the other spices.

While financial contributions are certainly a great help to health care practitioners in developing nations, one of the things that they really need is rugged, portable, low-cost medical equipment that is compatible with an often-limited local infrastructure. Several such devices are currently under development, such as a battery-powered surgical lamp, a salad-spinner-based centrifuge, and a baby-warmer that utilizes wax. UCLA is now working on another appropriate technology in the form of a small, inexpensive microscope that uses holograms instead of lenses to image what can't be seen by the human eye. Read More
UCLA develops stretchable OLED display
While there have been some intriguing developments recently in the field of stretchable electronics and flexible OLED displays, one thing we haven't heard much about is stretchable displays. So, is it possible to make a screened device in which every part of it could be stretched? The answer could now be yes, with news that researchers from UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science have demonstrated a stretchable polymer light-emitting device. Read More
Gold nanoparticles boost organic solar cell efficiency
Carbon-based organic photovoltaic cells, which use organic polymers or small molecules as semiconductors, are significantly thinner and cheaper than their inorganic silicon-based counterparts. Unfortunately, they are also much less efficient at converting sunlight into electricity. That could be on its way to changing, however, as an international team of researchers have reportedly boosted the efficiency of organic photovoltaic cells by 20 percent ... with some help from gold nanoparticles.

The World Health Organization has projected that by 2020, major depression will be the second-most significant cause for disability in the world, after heart disease. Along with psychotherapy, the disorder is usually treated using antidepressant drugs. There is often a frustrating trial-and-error period involved in finding the right drug for the right person, however, while side effects can include obesity, sexual dysfunction, and fatigue ... to name a few. Los Angeles-based company NeuroSigma is now looking into an alternative drug-free therapy, that could ultimately incorporate electrodes implanted under the patient's skin. Read More
In a move that gives cautious hope to the millions of people suffering some form of paralysis, a team of researchers from UCLA, Caltech and the University of Louisville has given a man rendered paralyzed from the chest down after a hit-and-run accident in 2006 the ability to stand and take his first tentative steps in four years. The team used a stimulating electrode array implanted into the man's body to provide continual direct electrical stimulation to the lower part of the spinal cord that controls movement of the hips, knees, ankles and toes, to mimic the signals the brain usually sends to initiate movement.

Researchers stumble on potential new treatment for hair loss
While conducting research into brain-gut interactions, a team led by researchers from UCLA and the Veterans Administration may have inadvertently stumbled across a new treatment for hair loss. During an investigation into the affect of stress on gastrointestinal function, the researchers believe they may have found a chemical compound that induces hair growth by blocking a stress-related hormone associated with hair loss.

One of the main problems with cancer cells is that the body's immune system generally doesn't recognize them as enemies. By using a crippled HIV-like virus as a vehicle to arm lymphocytes with T-cell receptors, researchers have been able to genetically engineer a well-armed battalion of tumor-seeking immune system cells. By also inserting a reporter gene, which glows "hot" during positron emission tomography (PET) scanning, the researchers were able to watch in real time as these "special forces" traveled throughout the body to locate and attack dangerous melanomas. Read More
Increasing numbers of countries turning to desalination plants to bolster dwindling water supplies with most new facilities making use of reverse osmosis technology. Unfortunately these systems are susceptible to clogging and membrane damage, which places higher energy demands on the pumping system and necessitates costly cleanup and membrane replacement. Now researchers have unveiled a new class of reverse-osmosis membrane that resists the clogging that typically occurs when seawater, brackish water and waste-water are purified. Read More
A network of cameras deployed around the Arctic to understand the trigger mechanism for the beautiful light display called the aurora borealis – also known as the Northern Lights – has discovered that sometimes the vast curtains of aurora borealis collide, producing a stunning outburst. The reason no one on Earth has ever noticed these collisions before is that they occur on such a vast scale it takes a network of sensitive cameras spread across thousands of miles to get the whole picture.

Human blood stem cells engineered to kill HIV
A proof-of-principle study has demonstrated that it is possible to engineer human blood stem cells into cells that can target and kill HIV-infected cells. The result is the equivalent of a genetic vaccine which is not only good news in the fight against HIV - the process could also be used against a range of chronic viral diseases. Read More

Who Lost the World? How the Libya Attack Exposed the Bipartisan Belief in American Domination of the Globe

Who lost Libya? Indeed, who lost the entire Middle East? Those are the questions lurking behind the endless stream of headlines about "Benghazi-gate." Here's the question we should really ask, though: How did a tragic but isolated incident at a U.S. consulate, in a place few Americans had ever heard of, get blown up into a pivotal issue in a too-close-to-call presidential contest?
My short answer: the enduring power of a foreign policy myth that will not die, the decades-old idea that America has an inalienable right to "own" the world and control every place in it. I mean, you can't lose what you never had.
This campaign season teaches us how little has changed since the early Cold War days when Republican stalwarts screamed, "Who lost China?" More than six decades later, it's still surprisingly easy to fill the political air with anxiety by charging that we've "lost" a country or, worse yet, a whole region that we were somehow supposed to "have."
The "Who lost...?" formula is something like a magic trick. There's no way to grasp how it works until you take your eyes away from those who are shouting alarms and look at what's going on behind the scenes.
Who's in Charge Here?
The curious case of the incident in Benghazi was full of surprises from the beginning. It was the rare pundit who didn't assure us that voters wouldn't care a whit about foreign affairs this year. It was all going to be "the economy, stupid," 24/7. And if foreign issues did create a brief stir, surely the questions would be about Afghanistan, Pakistan, or China.
Yet for weeks, the deaths of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans became the rallying cry of the campaign to unseat Barack Obama. What made this even more surprising: when news of the tragedy first broke, it appeared to be stillborn as a political issue.
The day after the attack on the consulate, as the news about the killings was just coming out, Mitt Romney rushed to blast his opponent: "American leadership is necessary to ensure that events in the region don't spin out of control." A president must show "resolve in our might" and a readiness to use "overwhelming force." Barack Obama had failed on all these counts, Romney charged, and the deaths in Benghazi proved it.
The Republican presidential candidate was duly blasted in return for "politicizing" the incident. It seemed like almost everyone chimed in critically. Even longtime Republican stalwart Ed Rogers wrote that "Romney stumbled," while "the president said the right things and had the right tone."
Romney never retracted anything he said on that first day -- and somehow the same words, once scorned as unfitting and "unpresidential," were mysteriously transformed into powerful arguments against reelecting the incumbent. A month later, a new story dominated the headlines: Romney's criticisms on Libya were now said to be hitting the target, changing the dynamic, playing a major role in his campaign's resurgence.
This change of tune surely reflected in part the media's primal need for a close presidential contest to keep the public's interest. At the time of the Libyan incident it was generally agreed that Obama was beginning to pull ahead in the race, potentially decisively, and anything that might boost Romney's chance was undoubtedly welcome on an editor's desk.
No matter how hard editors try, though, some stories just don't stick. But the Libya story stuck. It struck a chord somewhere in the hearts and minds of a lot of Americans. You have to wonder why.

The Mystery of Recruiting
by Lauren Lundgren and Tina Osinski
Lauren Lundgren is the founder of Infoco, Inc., the first virtual nationwide recruiting service, and Tina Osinski is Project and Marketing Director for Infoco, Inc. Together they have 38 years experience in market research. You can find out more about Infoco, Inc. at www.infocousa.com.
We love a good detective novel, so it is no surprise that the sometimes mysterious nature in which market research operates gives us a similar kick. As the great Sherlock Holmes poses the endless questions for his unfortunate sidekick, Watson, it behooves us to do the same in our line of work: What is the ultimate goal of the ubiquitously mysterious end-client? Who will benefit from this study? Who ultimately has the means, the motive and the opportunity to participate?
That Elusive Sponsor
To ascertain respondent qualifications, recruiters rely on the screening document. This usually comes from a study's sponsor or moderator. The best screeners cover all the qualifying points in as succinct and conversational way as is possible. They ask open-ended questions, so potential respondents are unable to second-guess the right answers. They give clear directives on terminations and segmentations in as streamlined a format as possible to ensure that the exact target audience is recruited. In short, the ideal screeners leave no "shades of grey"; respondents are either qualified or not. When one combines a well-crafted screener with a clear outline of the objective, the recruitment firm is then armed and ready to find the best-suited respondents for the study as efficiently as possible.
Getting Them There
Even when studies are scheduled appropriately, sponsors need to be aware
that emergencies arise, and even the most committed respondent may have
to cancel at the last minute. To cover that contingency, it is advisable
when doing individual in-depth interviews to plan for more time slots
than are needed and/or to have "floaters" scheduled. Floaters
are people who are recruited to come in and wait for two to three hours
to fill in if a scheduled respondent fails to show up. They should be
paid proportionately to the amount of time they're being asked to
devote to assuring a fully populated study.
Armed with a clear and complete understanding of a study's objectives, a targeted screener, an appropriate schedule, and reasonable incentives, a good recruiter will be able to hunt down and schedule exactly the people sponsors desire to solve the mystery of the marketplace. And isn't that one of the most compelling unsolved mysteries of all?

Action on Salisbury laundry building could be imminent
SALISBURY -- First Selectman Curtis G. Rand said last week there could be some long-awaited action on the former Decker Laundry building on Perry Street.
During Thursday's meeting of the board, Rand said the dilapidated building has been vacant for the past 12 years. The corporation still owns the structure and its two-thirds of an acre, but hasn't paid taxes in years.

If you pay attention to your webstats, you've likely come across regular hits coming from a crawler/bot called "Semalt". According to their site and some other blog sites, the bot is not hitting your site with any bad intentions, but others have stated that they seem to be associated with spamming and scamming of some kind. Either way, its best to keep your site free from these bots as they can screw up your web statistics by inflating your visitor and bounce rates. The majority of sites are recommending to block this bot – and there are some great tips on doing so.
In order to block them via the server level, you need to add the following code to the BOTTOM of your .htaccess file:
SetEnvIfNoCase Via evil-spam-proxy spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer evil-spam-domain.com spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer evil-spam-keyword spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Via pinappleproxy spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer semalt.com spammer=yes
SetEnvIfNoCase Referer poker spammer=yes
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Deny from env=spammer
They also created a tool where you can remove your website from their crawl list. A lot of sites are saying "why should we give them our domain information, when they shouldn't be crawling our site in the first place – and there is a point there. But we did test their ignore list with a few domains, and a month later, none of those sites had been hit by semalt – so it does appear, at least in theory, to work.
To add your sites to their block list, simply visit this link, and type all of your URLs into the list, and hit submit.
WordPress as awesome as it is, is also one of the most popular open source CMS scripts that is out there – and we all know being that kind of popular carries the increased risk for devious hackers to find new ways to break into your site. In many cases the hackers break in only to spam your blog with tons and tons of links to less than desirable sites. Other times they can install redirects to other sites or even install malware/spyware. Regardless of the severity of the hack, we as WP users always need to be diligent about doing everything we can to protect our sites, and our customers/readers from potential security risks.
Our friends over at MasterSiteManager.com (an awesome stats, rankings and SEO tracking service that we use and highly recommend) have tested and put together a great "must have" list of plugins to help protect your blogs from hackers. If you use some of these really great (and FREE) plugins, along with working with your hosting company or server admins to make sure your server is as secure as possible, you will see your vulnerability to these attacks drop significantly.
1. Restrict Login By IP – lets you specify IP addresses or hosts that users are allowed to login from. Only users that have the exact IP will be able to access the dashboard. Everyone else will get a "Forbidden" error when trying to log in or access an admin page directly. However, normal visitors won't be affected – everyone will still be able to read your posts browse the site.
2. AskApache Password Protect – it utilizes fast, tried-and-true built-in Security features to add multiple layers of security to your blog. This plugin is specifically designed and regularly updated specifically to stop automated and unskilled attackers attempts to exploit vulnerabilities on your blog resulting in a hacked site.
3. WP-Ban – It will display a custom ban message when the banned IP, IP range, host name or referer url trys to visit you blog. You can also exclude certain IPs from being banned.
4. WP System Health – This plugin provides a new Dashboard Widget (limit to administrators) that displays information provided by 4 different categories: system, php, wordpress, database.
5. WP-DB-Backup – WP-DB-Backup allows you easily to backup your core WordPress database tables.
6. Exploit Scanner – This plugin searches the files on your website, and the posts and comments tables of your database for anything suspicious. It also examines your list of active plugins for unusual filenames.
7. WP Security Scan – Scans your WordPress installation for security vulnerabilities and suggests corrective actions.
Of course, you should always make sure you are running the most recent version of WordPress and that you take regular (nightly) backups of your site so that if you are hacked, you can quickly revert to a saved version, or do a file comparison to find the injected code.

Coupon Reveal is a feature-rich WordPress plugin that allows you to quickly and easily add eye-catching Coupon Code modules to your WordPress site, with features to ensure the click. With an intuitive, user-friendly Coupon-Creator admin, this plugin generates simple shortcode which can be pasted in posts, pages, widgets or anywhere else throughout your site to display Coupon Reveal modules.
Below we detail Coupon Reveal's extensive set of features, each one proven to increase click-through rates, improve usability and enhance the overall look of your website.
LAYOUT: Horizontal and vertical layouts allow you to create flexible, attractive modules that work within any space or dimension on your site. Simply paste the shortcode into a post, page, header, footer, sidebar or widget area.
SIZE: No 2 websites are exactly the same which is why the Coupon Reveal Plugin allows you to customize your Coupon modules to fit within any area. The sizing slider lets you choose the exact pixel dimensions of your coupon module, while showing you a real-time image of what it will look like. Horizontal modules start at 673 x 222, square modules start at 255×222. Both can be scaled down from there.
COUPON TYPE: This plugin offers 3 different ways to display your coupon or promotion:
COLOR OPTIONS: Every module can be customized to fit your website in every way. We offer a dark and light layout option, as well as 6 different button color options.
EXPIRATION: One of our favorite features, is the ability to control the type and layout of the coupon expiration date.
SUCCESS REPORTING: For users who want to track the success of their coupons, we offer the ability for your visitors to submit votes on whether or not the coupon worked. After the coupon is displayed (and hence after the affiliate URL is loaded), the user is encouraged to vote "Did this coupon work? Yes/No" by clicking the buttons that appear on the module. These votes are tracked within the Coupon Reveal Admin and you can even configure how often you are notified of a failed coupon code. You can choose to be emailed every time a "no" vote is submitted, or you can specify a number of "no" votes that a coupon has to receive before it will notify you.
TITLE: Every coupon has a title field, which is the text displayed at the top of the coupon module. You can enter the name of the coupon here, or any other compelling text that will encourage the click. This text is limited in characters, but the font is sized dynamically as you increase or decrease the size of the coupon.
DESCRIPTION: Horizontally aligned coupons offer space where you can write a description of the coupon. Here you can specify any particular terms, usability instructions, or even just use it as an extra "selling" space for why the user might want to click and purchase this product.
SAVINGS: Each coupon has a gold seal where the coupon discount is displayed. This is entered as plain text so you can specify percentages, dollars off, or any other text that will fit into this field.
SHORTCODE: Once a coupon module has been created, a line of shortcode will be displayed at the top of the Coupon Reveal Admin. This appears as a simple line of code that can be pasted anywhere within your WordPress blog – pages, posts, widgets, footers, etc. Copy and paste, its as simple as that! The code is dynamic so if you make any changes to your module at a later date, there is no need to update the shortcode on your pages, they will reflect any and all changes, automatically.
We have run into quite a few people lately getting this error on their WordPress installation, so we figured we'd post the solution here as a quick fix for anyone else having similar issues.
The error will appear something like this:
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at //home/wordpress/wp-config.php:1) in /home/wordpress/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line xx
Of course the locations of the files listed in the warning will vary based upon your installation.
The likely culprit, believe it or not, are spaces. Most likely while making some modifications to your store you inadvertantly left in a space either before the beginning
< ?php tag, or after the last/terminating
?> tag within the page.
< ?phptag, and if there are any spaces before it, delete them.
?> tag (not all do), make sure any spaces after that are deleted.
Thats it! In 99% of cases this should fix your "cannot modify header information" errors within WordPress.

Speaking at a Symbian Partner Event AT&T executive Roger Smith said that he saw smartphones as being the dominant kind of mobile device connecting to AT&T's network by 2014. He also said that AT&T may use a single OS for "AT&T branded" smartphones (as opposed to the iPhone or RIM devices) in the coming years. He added that Symbian may be that OS, according to a report from IDG News.
Java is also losing as a platform for AT&T phones. Smith expressed disappointment in Java as having contributed to fragmentation rather than simplifying mobile development.
What this piece reinforces is that the market will be dominated by smartphones in the next 5-7 years (more than 50%). Smartphone costs have now come down to under $200 (with subsidies) and a questionable rumor even has it that Apple may sell a $99 4GB iPhone through Wal-Mart. Whether or not the rumor is true, the more important point is that prices are coming down. Wal-Mart is selling the T-Mobile G1 for $150.
As Americans and Europeans replace their (feature) phones, which is now happening with greater frequency, more of them will want access to the mobile Internet and will opt for smartphones, which constitute about 14% (ish) of the US handset market today. Smartphone adoption will boost mobile Internet adoption, usage frequency and mobile ad revenues.
Indeed, Smith said that AT&T would look to advertising revenues and transaction fees in the future, rather than just voice and data revenues. According to IDG:
But as the economy sags and subscriber growth in the U.S. slows, carriers can't keep relying on pulling more revenue out of subscribers to pay for it, [Smith] said. AT&T will push for many more advertising-based services over the next year or two, he said. Other possibilities include mobile banking and shopping services that generate transaction fees, and business-to-consumer or business-to-business applications in areas such as health care or transportation.
