Cabrales Cheese Souffles with Endive and Asian Pear Salad
Bon Appétit | January 2004
MC2, San Francisco, CA
photo by Brian Leatart
Makes 6
- 2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole milk
- 6 ounces Cabrales or Maytag blue cheese, crumbled (about 3/4 cup packed)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter six 3/4-cup soufflé dishes or custard cups. Dust with flour; shake out excess. Place dishes in roasting pan. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup flour; whisk 1 minute. Gradually add milk and whisk until mixture is thick and smooth, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add cheese and whisk until melted and smooth. Whisk in egg yolks, pepper, and kosher salt. Cool soufflé base 15 minutes.
Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in medium bowl until stiff but not dry. Fold whites into soufflé base in 2 additions (mixture will be runny). Divide soufflé among prepared dishes. Pour enough hot water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake until soufflés are slightly puffed and golden on top, about 35 minutes (soufflés may not rise above rim of dishes). (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Remove soufflés from water bath; let stand at room temperature. Place soufflé dishes on baking sheet and rewarm in 350°F oven 10 minutes.)
Divide Endive and Asian Pear Salad among 6 plates. Place 1 soufflé dish alongside salad on each plate and serve.

Amid a flurry of roster moves made by the Toronto Blue Jays today came this little snowflake:
To make room on the 40-man roster for Igarashi the #bluejays have transferred DUSTIN McGOWAN to the 60-day disabled list.
— Barry Davis (@SNBarryDavis) May 25, 2012
Good thing the Blue Jays moved swiftly to lock up McGowan through 2014. While the questionable three year, $4.1 million contract that was signed before the start of the season won't harm the team that much financially, there were worries that locking McGowan up would be a poor use of a roster space in the future.
Well, at least with today's news, that's no longer an issue.

2014 Audi Q7
- 15 March, 2013
- No Comments
The new 2014 Q7 is based on the so-called 'tall platform edition' of the MLB Evo components set. Underpinning the new 2014 Q7 is the WKK60 architecture – which stands for material-flexible concept with a 60% steel content. The remaining 40% are lightweight materials, in this case predominantly aluminium.The Crosslane concept also provides hints about the next Q7's construction. The vehicle is expected to be much lighter than the current model. New Audi Q7 will lose about 350-kg weight.
Audi's Crosslane concept gives hints at the rugged new look Audi's future 'Q' models will be adopting. Key elements will be an aggressive, single-frame grille, and slit-like headlights. In addition, predicting are two plug-in hybrid for the Q7.This kind of a mix of both motor is going to be mated using a Four-cylinder TFSI serp.
The idea is to tweak the odd-numbered models more towards a SUV DNA by adding more ground clearance, all-season tyres, go-anywhere body cladding, bespoke bumpers and adventure-oriented trim levels. The next Q7 will therefore display an Allroad-plus theme with a higher-roof stance, more rugged make-up and an outdoor-focused appeal.The next Q7 will be slightly wider than the current model and its front axle pushed further forward.

Considering the alarming frequency with which the sky falls in the greater Boston area, it is no small feat that the streets remains mostly clear of concussed bystanders. The Red Sox are never good enough, it seems. Two straight rocky Aprils nearly rendered New England out of hands to wring. The pitching isn't good enough (or dedicated enough, depending on who you ask), the bullpen is a mess, the defense is spotty and the ageing roster is too suscepitable to injury.
While many of these things contain kernels of truth, the fact of the matter is the Red Sox are still really good. They sit above the .500 mark despite disappointing performances from most of their rotation and catastrophic injuries at key positions. But how?
The Red Sox success —such as it is— can be attributed to a few key contributions. Namely:
- David Ortiz is Killing It – David Ortiz currently ranks in the top twenty in all of baseball for wOBA, TAv, OPS, and home runs. Ortiz built on his new-found contact skills by striking out far less than earlier in his career. Big Papi just keeps on going, being one of the better DHs in the AL and the best hitter in their lineup: an integral cog in the Red Sox machine.
- The Bullpen is Suddenly Good – The blowups of (the injured/mechanically flawed) Mark Melancon getting farther in the rearview, the Red Sox bullpen is suddenly one of the best in the game. Second in WPA for the month of May with a decent 28/14 shutdown to meltdown ratio.
Scott Atchison turned in some terrific work over the last month, striking out 12 batters against just 2 UIBB in 17 innings without allowing a single run of his own. Alfredo Aceves, Clayton Mortensen, even Andrew Miller all helped pick up the Sox relief corps in May.
- Guys with Long Surnames Did Work – Did you know Jarrod Saltalamacchia already has ten home runs this year? It is true, he really does! Infield rotation member Will Middlebrooks did his darned to keep a big league job with some strong play of his own, slamming six home runs and posting a sky-high (albeit BABIP-assisted) .394 wOBA. With this kind of secondary production from outside the Pedroia/Ortiz/Gonzalez heart of the order, the Red Sox can absorb many a rough outing from their rotation.
- Yeoman's Work from a Battalion of Outfielders – Few teams have been as beset by injuries as the Red Sox, particularly among outfielders. The Sox have already cycled through eleven outfielders this season, which doesn't even include the one they're paying $19.5 million dollars this season and barely includes the one who nearly won the American League's Most Valuable Player last year.
As a unit, the Red Sox outfield has 2.8 fWAR to their name, placing them square in the middle of the pack. League average offense and solid defense from a group including Daniel Nava, Darnell McDonald and, most frighteningly of all, Scott Podsednik? I think most Red Sox should count their blessings and realize how much worse it could be.
Sure, the BoSox are in last place in their division but things could be much worse. Considering the incredible amount of talent sitting on their disabled list and the kind of talent in their pitching rotation, the Red Sox are far from dead with more than 100 games remaining.
The concerns with the starting rotation, however, are real. Stalwarts such as Jon Lester and, to a lesser extent, Josh Beckett do not look like themselves. Waiting by the good old regression phone might not be good enough if the two key pitchers as still chasing the true talent dragon.
If Lester and Beckett get right (and Clay Buchholz gets…anywhere) the overwhelming amount of talent in the Red Sox stable is sure to lead them right back where they belong: fighting for a playoff spot right down to the final key pitches of the season. Ugh. Don't say you weren't warned.

Hoops of Hope
Hoops of Hope was such a great experience. Just knowing how the community is coming together to better the world for children and being a part of such a fantastic event was an honour... and of course, playing basketball against the Toronto Police Service was a definite highlite. Congratulations to Latonya Bentley and her team of helpers who brought so many people together in the reaching out to their community. How exciting for me to be part of something great!
Question from Viewer:
Hi Brad,
I have a soon to be 8 month old Standard Poodle. From watching your show I know I have to take the role as Alpha; however, I'm not quite sure I have done that. I was able to train him to go outside to do his business, sit, lay down and shake a paw. Do you have a book or could you explain how to get him to stay on command; not eat off the table or counter when I leave the room and not to eat out of the garbage (He sneaks in the kitchen when he thinks I'm not paying attention). We don't give him treats when we're teaching him new commands but on occasion we do give him treats. He did have 3 toys until he chewed the tennis balls off his one toy so we're down to two. Oh and how would I properly introduce him to other dogs.. I want to take him to the dog park so he can have some four legged friends other then my 2 cats he likes to chase. They don't like it so I'm sure they'd like me to ask how we can curb that behavour as well.
Yes I do have a book one is "Synergy between Man and Dog" The other one is Brad Pattison UNLEASHED.
plane from Vancouver-Toronto
Hi Brad:
How ironic that most of us on your flight were watching your show. Yes, I agree that our border collie needs more than just play and the outdoors. My brother takes her to work with him and she does a lot of helping for him. I was happy to hear that you had one that lived to be 22. With our Honey, we just hope she has a long and active life though she has severe epilepsy. It's hard to watch your pet go through such things. But we love her and treat her like any other dog. Love the show.

I have 4 patio doors that I have to periodically replace over the 20 years I've lived in my house due to the seals leaking allowing moisture in between the panes of glass. I now have 2 panels that need to be replaced again! One local glass shop recommended I use tempered glass instead of insulated glass as this will aleviate the problem of the seals breaking and I won't have to replace them anymore. My concern is - will this affect resale? will this affect the temperature in that room greatly - it is very hot in summer and very cold in winter, will it look different? It certainly will save me money in the long run. He also priced a low E tempered glass which is only $10.00 less than the insulated glass. Does anyone have any recommendations. Thank you, Wenjen |

I've never heard of insulating vs. tempered effecting the seal, but I'm no glass expert. Out here it is required for patio doors to be tempered glass as well as low-e. Might be your best bet if for nothing else the safety of having tempered glass panels in the doors. |

Sturridge has claimed he is loving life at Liverpool a few times already and it's shown on the pitch as he has bagged a few goals in his few appearances so far. At Manchester City and Chelsea everybody realized he had great potential, but now we are all seeing it first-hand and you cannot help but believe he is going to be a big success for the club.
How can the Suarez and Sturridge partnership benefit Liverpool?
- Liverpool now have more striking options
- The pressure will be shared between the two
- Between the duo they have pace, strength and goal-scoring abilities.
Can the duo help Liverpool make a push for success?
Yes they can! Many criticized the signing of Daniel Sturridge, but they will now realize why Liverpool have brought the England international in to the club. This signing fits in to their budget, gives them more attacking strength and improves the team in many ways so it would seem like Liverpool can only achieve more having both of these talents, rather than Suarez on his own. Injuries and bans are always a worry for Luis Suarez and now with Sturridge it seems the club can breathe easier knowing they have a very good option if Suarez is ever absent.

Baptist Health Paducah to celebrate 60th anniversary
Baptist Health Paducah will celebrate its 60th anniversary and welcome its seventh president at a reception 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, in the Heart Center auditorium.
Bill Brown became Baptist Health's new west regional executive for Paducah and Madisonville Sept. 3 and assumed the presidency of Baptist Health Paducah Oct. 4, following Larry Barton's retirement.
He has been a hospital and healthcare system leader for more than 35 years, including 20 in Louisville and most recently in the Chicago suburbs.
Brown is the seventh president to serve Baptist Health Paducah since it opened Oct. 21, 1953.
The vision for the hospital – then Western Baptist – began in 1945 when the Rev. George Phillips organized a committee to build a Baptist hospital. Groundbreaking took place three years later, but construction stopped from 1950 to 1952 when money ran out. The community responded, much of it with quarters and dimes from bake sales and car washes; and the $1.3 million facility opened in 1953 with 117 beds, two operating rooms, a pharmacy and lab.
Today, the hospital is a 349-bed regional medical and referral center, serving about 200,000 patients a year from four states with more than 1,700 employees and 260 physicians. Earlier this year, the Paducah hospital and sister hospitals throughout Kentucky changed their names to Baptist Health. The system, headquartered in Louisville, is one of the largest not-for-profit healthcare systems in Kentucky.

Degree benefits
- UCL provides an ideal environment for language study; we offer an enormous range of languages and state-of-the-art facilities, including a well-equipped language learning suite.
- The Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning - Languages of the Wider World, run by UCL and SOAS, brings together the expertise of a wide range of language specialists.
- UCL has a large international population, and you will have countless opportunities to practise and speak your chosen languages with native speakers and learn about the associated culture and society.
- Our location in a cosmopolitan city provides access to frequent and varied cultural events, a huge range of museums, galleries, specialist libraries and bookshops, theatres, cinemas, cuisines and cultural societies.
In your first, second and final years you will take language courses in your chosen subjects, as well as courses in the literature, culture, history and linguistics related to them. You may also take School of European Languages, Culture and Society (ELCS) courses, which allow students to study literature, film, art and culture from outside their subject area(s), focusing on broad cultural movements, issues and approaches from an interdisciplinary perspective and drawing on the full range of specialisms within the school.
You may choose two languages that you have studied previously, or take a language at beginner's level alongside one you already know. It is not possible to study two languages from scratch at the same time. Please refer to the SELCS website for information about which languages have specific entry requirements and what language levels UCL offers.
Your third year is spent abroad, studying at a university normally with which UCL has an Erasmus or other exchange agreement, working as a British Council language assistant or doing a work placement. This will be split between two countries where your chosen languages are spoken. We expect graduates to achieve the same linguistic competence regardless of whether they started a language from scratch or had previous knowledge of it.
Any two of the following languages may be combined (subject to entry requirements):
Dutch; French; German; Hebrew; Italian; Portuguese, Russian; Scandinavian (one of: Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish); Spanish; East European (one of: Bulgarian, Czech, Finnish, Hungarian, Polish, Romanian, Serbian/Croatian, Slovak, Ukrainian); Yiddish.
It may be possible to combine Icelandic and Danish. Please contact the SELCS Admissions Officer for more details.
Importantly, you should note that the final degree awarded on completion will reflect whichever combination you choose, for example French and Italian BA, Dutch and German BA, Russian and Yiddish BA.
Your learning
Your language classes focus on developing active skills of speaking, listening, writing and reading through a variety of methods and media. You will be taught through lectures and seminars, as well as undertaking web-based study and group work.
Courses are assessed by a mixture of written and oral examinations, essays and other forms of coursework.
Degree structure
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual courses, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Courses are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional courses varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

Property Rights
Your home is your castle—unless the government thinks it should be a shopping center. Learn how citizens and local governments can protect homes and businesses from government takeovers.
The Tempe City Council will vote tonight on whether to condemn 214 acres of private property so it can be turned over to a private developer to build a mega shopping center. That may be a worthy project for the prime real estate, but
The Tempe City Council has approved condemnation of private businesses to make way for a new shopping center. The move violates a key provision of the Arizona Constitution that prohibits taking property from one private owner and turning it over to another private owner. The City's move is likely to face several court challenges.
Under the state constitution, Arizona's elected officials have the responsibility to protect individual rights and promote limited government. The Goldwater Institute presents 100 Ideas for 100 Days so policymakers at every level of government can enter 2011 with a bundle of suggestions to increase the state's prosperity and expand freedom.
A three-year legal battle has ended in a settlement, making way for Tom and Elizabeth Preston to open a tattoo studio in Tempe. The effort was derailed in 2007 when residents complained the business would hurt neighborhood-revitalization efforts and lower their property values.
Tom Preston said he and his wife got news of the settlement Thursday.
"We're super excited. Oh my gosh, we finally get to open," he said.
Phoenix--Today the Goldwater Institute released its 2010 "100 Ideas for 100 Days," an annual handbook designed to provide Arizona's elected officials with a stable of ideas to help meet their constitutional obligation to protect individual rights and promote limited government.
Protecting individual rights and promoting limited government aren't just buzzwords. Those are the constitutional obligations of our elected officials. The Arizona Constitution explains this clearly in Article II, Section 2.
After winning the Goodman v. City of Tucson case, the Goldwater Institute's Clint Bolick joined KJZZ's Here and Now program to talk about it.
A Pima County Superior Court judge refused this week to throw out a lawsuit by a Tucson mini-dorm developer who sued the city claiming city demolition rules lowered his property values.
Tucson--A Pima County Superior Court judge has ruled in favor of Goldwater Institute client Mike Goodman, who filed suit against the City of Tucson under Arizona's Proposition 207, the Private Property Rights Protection Act passed by Arizona voters

Still, when the AP asked whether Social Security taxes should be raised so that benefits could be kept the same for everyone, 53 percent said yes. Thirty-six percent said they would rather keep the tax rate the same but reduce benefits for future generations. The question did not permit a choice of an across-the-board tax increase or raising the wage base for the tax. Other polls show that around two-thirds of Americans prefer raising the wage base.
Raising the retirement age has a lot of political appeal because people are living longer. On the surface, it seems logical, and the pols can sell it easier than saying they want to cut benefits across the board. So when a story comes along, especially one that has such a long reach, that does not make clear that raising the retirement age is a benefit cut, it tends to confuse the public even more about a program that's complicated. But, as the AP's own poll shows, it's one that is super important to most Americans.
Meanwhile: Kudos to AP reporters Jack Gillum and Richardo Alonso-Zaldivar for taking a close look at what vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan and others, including New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, said about Medicare at the GOP convention this week.
Ryan, for example, said: "The biggest, coldest power play of all in Obamacare came at the expense of the elderly So they just took it all away from Medicare. Seven hundred and sixteen billion dollars, funneled out of Medicare by President Obama."
Ryan was talking out of both sides of his mouth, the fact checkers found. They pointed out that Ryan, who heads the House Budget Committee, himself assumed those same cuts in the budgets he pushed through the House and used the money for deficit reduction. Their fact check also noted, as CJR has repeatedly reported, those cuts do not affect Medicare beneficiaries directly, but "reduce payments to hospitals, health insurance plans, and other service providers."
The AP told readers that Ryan's own plan for Medicare would "squeeze the program's spending even more than the changes Obama made, shifting future retirees into a system in which they would get a fixed payment to shop for coverage among private insurance plans." The AP correctly noted that those changes would "expose the elderly to more out-of-pocket costs."
Gillum and Alonso-Zaldivar then tackled the convention rhetoric of Christie and others, too. The piece is worth a read, and we hope the AP continues on its fact-checking mission on both parties, and that other reporters and news outlets will do the same.
Trudy Lieberman's "Medicare primer" is here. And an archive of her critiques of press coverage of the issue is here.

Step 1 Using your Skill Sticks create the bed of your wagon. We built ours three sticks high all the way around |
Step 2 Using regular Popsicle sticks, create a frame by gluing four of them together at the corners. |
Step 3 After the corners dry, glue more sticks across the middle to form a solid plank. Then turn it over and apply glue to the bottom two Popsicle Sticks. |
Step 4 Set your Wagon bed onto the glue and let dry. If you're using a glue gun this step is much quicker, the wood glue will take a while to dry and you should set it somewhere where it won't be moved. |
Step 5 (This is an optional step, we did to keep our canvas up) Using 4 Popsicle sticks, glue them around the sides of the wagon like posts. |
Step 6 Cut a long rectangle shape from your paper bag. We used the side of the bag and that width worked pretty well. Curve up the edges as shown in the picture. |
Step 7 Glue your paper bag to your wagon. We used wood glue, so we had to put on these little binder clips to hold it in place while it dried. If you have a glue gun, it would really speed up the process here. |
Step 8 Using a small coffee cup, trace 4 circles onto your cardboard. Cut them out and poke a small hole in the center of each of them. |
Step 9 Insert a Popsicle Stick into each of the wheels. You can use a glue gun around the sides if the hold is to big and they get loose. |
Step 10 Glue the Popsicle sticks together to make the axle. You'll have two sets of wheels like this. |
Step 11 Glue the axles to the bottom of your wagon. Make sure that your front and back wheels are sitting evenly, and make any necessary adjustments. |
All Done! After your wagon is complete, it's time to fill it up with some pioneer goodies! Make little scrap quilts and boxes, pots and pans, or even a clay family to put inside! |

U.S. Marines can no longer access social networking sites on military computers.
The U.S. Marine Corps issued an order Monday banning sites like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter citing a possible security risk.The order said using social sites could expose information to adversaries.
But the order doesn't effect Marines' private use of such networks on personal computers outside of their jobs.
The ban is part of a larger Pentagon review, which should be completed next month.
Defense Department spokesman Bryan Whitman said the department realizes that social networking sites have value, noting the Army recently ordered all U.S. bases to provide access to Facebook.
Military commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan have Facebook pages to share information about operations in the respective countries. For example, CNN found that Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, has 4,000 followers on Twitter.
Whitman explained that a tension exists "between using these as important tools and addressing the challenges from a security standpoint." The goal of the review is to come up with "a more coherent policy," he said.

Caramel Frosting
This recipe for caramel frosting, which goes with Dr. Maya Angelou's caramel cake, can be found in her new cookbook, "Hallelujah."
- Yield: Makes enough for one 8-inch cake
Source: The Martha Stewart Show, November Fall 2007
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
- 1 package (16 ounces) confectioners' sugar
- 1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more if needed
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat until nut-brown in color, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and pour butter into a bowl, leaving any burned sediment behind; let cool.
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add confectioners' sugar, vanilla, salt, and butter. With the mixer on low, slowly add cream; beat until smooth. If frosting seems too thick, stir another tablespoon cream into the mixture.

I agree with earlier comment that this is a brown butter frosting, not caramel. That being said, it is very delicious. I think the key is to cook butter to a very deep, nutty brown color and strain out the burnt milk solids. I think if other previous commenter found it soupy they did not let butter resolidify before whipping.
DoyShan 29 Aug, 2012
I didn't like this frosting at all....until I added 8 oz. of softened cream cheese, a touch more vanilla and some of the actual caramel syrup. Now it's good!
metter 3 Aug, 2012
The measurement for powered sugar in this has to be wrong. A standard bag of powdered sugar is 32 oz.If you only use the 16oz, it's essentially just whipped butter.I added at least an additional 8 oz of powdered sugar and it seemed much more like a butter cream frosting.
As for the caramel part, mentioned by an above reviewer, I believe you are meant to drizzle the caramel sauce over the frosted cake. You'll need to follow a separate recipe to make that. -
jillinsch 6 Nov, 2011
This frosting was pretty soupy.
amy629 12 Feb, 2008
I have another Martha Stewart caramel frosting recipe that is made with brown sugar, heavy cream and butter (MUST use a candy thermometer too) and it has a nice caramel flavor (same say a little maple). However, it is used on a banana nut cake. Using it on a caramel flavored cake may be too much.
Delftblue 16 Jan, 2008
Where is the caramel in this frosting? Am I missing something? To me, it is more of a brown butter frosting. Very good, but not caramel tasting. Is it meant to read "frosting for Caramel Cake"? I also wonder the same for the cake recipe. It is wonderful
Pussycat 22 Dec, 2007
For the one that asked about confectioner's sugar?
It is just another name for powdered sugar or 10X sugar. -

I might sound ignorant, but what is confectioners' sugar? Would appreciate if somebody could enlighten me. Thanlks
lydiagb 16 Nov, 2007
For those who have made this cake, is the frosting enough for the whole cake? Will it cover the height of both rounds and fill it?

Georgia parents are protesting the discriminatory policies of the Boy Scouts of America in light of the organization's decision to hold its annual meeting in Atlanta on May 30th and 31st and are urging the nearly century-old group to change its unethical policy of excluding gay Scouts and Scoutmasters from membership.
Dale Merkle of Atlanta, a former Boy Scout who was also a Cub Scout den leader, expressed dismay that the Boy Scouts of America have adopted a discriminatory policy that didn't exist when he was raising his own children and was involved in Scouting.
"I don't know which is worse, that the Boy Scouts of America discriminate the way they do, or that they think it's okay to flaunt this discrimination in Atlanta, a city that for many people is synonymous with the civil rights movement," said Merkle, a father of three children, two of whom are gay, and a member of the Atlanta chapter of Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). "I would hope that — at the very least — a discussion of this outdated policy would be on the agenda for this important meeting, but it appears that the current Board of the Boy Scouts of America organization simply doesn't care about fairness."
"In the name of 'morals', the Boy Scouts of America have adopted a bigoted policy that flies in the face of what a majority of Americans believe," Merkle said. "This hurts every Scout by planting the seeds o intolerance, and there's nothing moral about that."
Macon PFLAG Co-President Rene Sanchez, who is the father of a gay son and is also a public health professional, expressed concern that the gay-exclusion policy gives today's Scouts mixed messages on personal morality.
"Scouting has always been about producing young men of character and integrity," said Sanchez. "Most young people today understand that anti-gay policies are bigotry, so the Scouts' policy of anti-gay discrimination must seem tragically out of step for today's members."
PFLAG National President John Cepek, a father of a gay son in Indian Head Park, Ill., called on the Boy Scouts of America to change their exclusionary policy against gay participation.
"What better time than an annual meeting for an organization like the Boy Scouts of America to take a bold stand and prove through a change in policy that discrimination is always wrong," said Cepek. "Atlanta would be the perfect place to begin teaching today's young men such a profoundly moral lesson." http://www.pflag.org), a national support organization with six Georgia chapters in Albany, Atlanta, Blairsville, Gainesville, Macon and Marietta.
PFLAG is a support, education and advocacy organization for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) people, their families and friends. PFLAG is the largest grassroots-based family organization of its kind, with 200,000 members and supporters, and local affiliates in more than 500 communities across the U.S. and abroad. PFLAG is a non-profit organization and is not affiliated with any religious or political institutions.

The new Discovery Sport model may sit low in the Land Rover lineup, but a trip through Iceland reveals unstoppable offroad capability.
Pricing not available
The 2014 Land Rover LR4 updates its decidedly old-school appeal with new tech and an excellent V-6 engine, but awkward fuel saver tech doesn't deliver and disappoints.
Just below the Arctic Circle, Iceland presents cold weather challenges, including icy rivers and roads, and very short days in January, but the new Discovery Sport exhibits most of Land Rover's legendary offroad capability.

The search giant says its interest in SpaceX is rooted in satellite imaging, as well as other "space-based technologies."
Chipmakers are eager to stake a claim in the new market that promises to make dumb things smart by connecting to the Internet.
If you've ever wanted your very own mech suit, you may now be able to snap one up for just 120 million yen -- if you live in the Kanto region of Japan. Oh, and there are other caveats too.
The private space-exploration company successfully sends a cargo capsule off to the International Space Station, but its "reusable" rocket crashes into its floating landing pad in the Atlantic Ocean.
The mission may be like "trying to balance a rubber broomstick on your hand in the middle of a wind storm," but SpaceX could make rocket history. If it can get this rocket off the ground.

E3 '11: The magical world of Disney
We take a stroll with Disney at E3
One of the more unusual stands that I stopped by at E3 was that of Disney – unusual because it felt like I really had been transported into some kind of magical realm. Artists sat in a garden and sketched famous characters, people lazed about playing games – the only thing missing were singing birds and talking candlesticks. Anyhoo, I sauntered around to have a look at what Disney was cooking up for the gamers, and as if on musical cue, the games were rolled out one by one.
The first game I was treated to was Disney Universe, which turned out to be an adorable bundle of joy. Rather than play as a specific Disney character, you play as an ambiguous creature whom you dress up in one of the many Disney character costumes from your favorite Disney films. From Nemo to Stich, there will be over 40 costumes to choose from, each with a specific weapon that can be upgraded as you play. The gameplay is quite straightforward as platform games go, and the level design features recognizable areas from Disney films – our demo featured a factory level from Monsters Inc, complete with endless rows of moving doors. It looks and plays very well, and oozes the charm that Disney is well known for.
Next I tried my hand out at Cars 2 – a surprisingly slick racing game based on the upcoming movie. The action was certainly on par with any racing game that I've played, but still manages to retain the charm and character of the movie characters. Animations were also very slick and smooth, and it's clear that this title will tempt even older gamers to try it out (as illustrated by the line of adults behind me). In addition to regular race modes, the game will feature some competitive modes that will have both kids and adults vying for pole position. From my brief time with the game it looks superb, and will certainly appeal to both younger gamers and adults alike.
I then moved on to one of my favorite franchises and it's latest installment in the shape of LEGO: Pirates of the Caribbean. Since I had already reviewed this game some time ago, I watched in amusement as people went absolutely mad and broke everything they could in every level, eager to collect the precious studs. I also watched some gameplay footage for Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension, based on the hit TV show. The game looked to be another riot for fans of the playful duo, and showed off some simple yet elegant cell shaded characters and levels.
At the end of my tour past the magical Disney garden filled with artists, I looked back on all the smiles and excited gamers and cheerily grinned along. After all, why should the kids have all the fun?

Following reports earlier today that Katherine Heigl has pulled out of contract talks with Grey's Anatomy over salary, ABC issued a release expressing surprise over the reports and ensuring that the actress is still under contract and will stay on the show for the foreseeable future. ''Katherine is an integral part of Grey's Anatomy and its success,'' the statement read. ''Fortunately, we have a long term contract to ensure she'll be with the show for several years to come. In recognition of her tremendous talent and value to the show, we recently approached Katherine with an offer to raise her compensation significantly above the terms of her current contract. We were surprised to see this gesture reported negatively in the press, and want to reassure fans that she will continue as Izzie Stevens.''
NBC reups Vegas, minus two stars
NBC will bring back Las Vegas for a fifth season, but without stars James Caan and Nikki Cox. In a statement, Caan, who in the past expressed discontent with being tied down to the series, his first venture into TV, said that he will return to the big screen. ''I've had a wonderful four years, worked with great people and made friends for life working on Las Vegas, but I'm eager to return to where my heart is, which is film, and due to the show's schedule, I missed some great opportunities to do that,'' Caan said. ''I wish the show and everyone involved with it continued success.'' Cox's departure is being described as part of a budget-cutting effort. ''I'm very sad and shocked,'' Cox said through a spokesperson. ''I wish them all the best of luck and had a great time working on the shows.'' Las Vegas is the highest rated show in the 9 p.m. Friday slot in adults 18-49, averaging a 2.8 rating/8 share and 9 million viewers. (Hollywood Reporter)

Sopranos star quits Dancing with the Stars
Vincent Pastore, 60, has withdrawn from the Dancing with the Stars competition after a week of training, saying that the physical demands of the 10-week season would be too much for him. ''When I initially committed to joining Dancing with the Stars, I didn't realize just how physically demanding it would be for me. Unable to put forth my best effort, I felt it appropriate to step aside and give someone else the opportunity,'' Pastore said in a statement. ''I'd like to thank ABC and the show's producers for inviting me to participate. I wish my partner, Edyta, and the other dancers the best of luck.'' Pastore is best known as Salvatore ''Big Pussy'' Bonpensiero on The Sopranos. (People.com)
Victoria Beckham in talks for reality show
Although NBC still won't confirm that it is working on a reality show for Posh, American Idol's Simon Fuller, who is expected to executive produce through 19 Entertainment, commented on the show to a major trade publication as if it is indeed a go. ''This show will cross all genres and hopefully will pleasantly surprise a few people,'' Fuller said in a statement to Daily Variety. Each episode will reportedly focus on Beckham's transition to Los Angeles after her soccer star husband David Beckham signed with the U.S.'s Major League Soccer team the Los Angeles Galaxy earlier this year. The show will explore how Beckham uprooted her publicist, stylist, personal assistant, etc. and set up shop in L.A. The program is being targeted for a potential summer launch. (Variety)

Fox and Idol beat ABC and the Oscars
Grey's Anatomy and the Oscars telecast helped ABC score its best week of ratings since it aired the 2006 Super Bowl, but it wasn't enough to prevent American Idol from carrying the week for Fox, which won in adults 18-34, adults 18-49, and total viewers. (Hollywood Reporter)

Adult Swim ratings boom following Boston marketing scare
Ratings for Comedy Central's Adult Swim lineup has broke basic cable viewership records since making headlines when a guerilla marketing campaign for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie caused officials in Boston to go into anti-terrorism mode. Adult Swim set basic cable monthly records in total-day delivery in adults 18-34 (460,000, up 28 percent compared with February 2006), adults 18-24 (280,000, up 32 percent), males 18-34 (283,000, up 25 percent) and males 18-24 (169,000, up 20 percent). It also extended its streak as the No. 1 channel among males 18-24 to 23 consecutive months and ranked third among basic cable networks for total-day delivery in adults 18-49. An Adult Swim spokesperson attributed the increases to marathons of acquired series Family Guy and Futurama. Aqua Teen saw only a slight increase after the promotional stunt and wasn't likely a factor in February's ratings jump. (Hollywood Reporter)

Inflamed pus-filled swelling due to staphylococcus skin infection at a hair follicle. It is painful and feels hard. Boils usually occur in hairy areas exposed to friction and maceration. Scratching an existing skin disorder may introduce staphylococci on the skin into hair follicles and cause a boil to arise. A carbuncle occurs when several adjoining boils merge. Healing requires discharging the pus. Treatment involves antibiotics.

Rich ones at the beach, poor ones across the ICW. And what is with the Michiganders in Charleston? Why do they pick SC? I've met dozens of these folks over the past few years in and around Chucktown. Sour on union jobs? Retirement from being taxed into oblivion? Go figure. Not complaining mind you, non of them can surf anyhoo and there is plenty of room. From what I understand one of the real fears of the southern man after the Civil War was that the yankees were coming to take thier land from them with guns but it really was with spastic attitudes and it took them 150 years. They were greatly over rated at best.

Keith Duncan, Ph.D., Laboratory Director
Our senses rely on transformation, from the touch of a hand, a scent in the air, the sight of a friend, the sound of a child each transformed into a neural code that the brain pulls together into perception. In our laboratory, we are interested in the molecular physiology that underlies the transformation of sound in the cochlea. For this, we focus our attention on a group of sensory cells, so called hair cells, and the nerves that innervate them. We approach the study of these excitable cells in three inter-related areas:
Our goal is to unravel the molecular events that govern ion channel function in the normal and abnormal ear.

If you have any questions about installation, timer programming, operating and routine maintenance, call the System Saver Help Line! 1-888-64-WATER
Programming The Faceplate Timer upon installation, and after an extended power outage
When the transformer is plugged into the electrical outlet, 12:00AM (flashing), and PRESENT TIME show in the upper display area. A ''beeper'' sounds while pressing buttons for electronic control programming. One beep signals a change in the display. Repeated beeps means the electronic control will not accept a change from the button you have pressed, and you should use another.
To program the electronic control, you will use either the SELECT, UP or DOWN buttons.
Set present time of day
If the words PRESENT TIME do not show in the display, press the SELECT button until they do.
Set water hardness number
If 25 (factory default) and HARDNESS do not show in the display, press the SELECT button until they do.
Normal operation electronic control display
Other Data Displays
With repeated presses of the DATA button, you can scan through four displays of operational information. This data appears in the bottom portion of the display area. These are:
CAPACITY (remaining) -- This is the percentage of water softening capacity remaining. Immediately after a regeneration, 100% shows. Then, as water is used, the percentage decreases until the next regeneration. During regenerations, the percentage increments upward. Zero (0%) shows until after the first regeneration begins, after connecting to electrical power.
FLOW RATE, GPM* -- When using soft water, this display shows the gallon per minute flow rate passing through the softener. Zero shows if water is not in use.
GALLONS* TODAY -- Each day, beginning at midnight, the electronic control keeps a running count of the total gallons of water passing through the softener.
AVERAGE DAILY GALLONS* -- The figure displayed is the average gallons of water used by the household each day, over the past seven day period.
If preferred, you can set the display to show the reading in liters instead of gallons, see page 20. If gallons today, or average daily gallons exceeds 1999, a (x 10) indicator appears. This means you must multiply the number shown times 10.
Optional Recharge Controls
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
Use one of the following features to start a regeneration immediately, or at the next preset regeneration start time.
Vacation note: The Morton Demand water softener regenerates only while water is used and softening capacity must be restored. For this reason, the softener will not regenerate when you are away from home for extended periods.
Program Memory
If electrical power to the softener is interrupted, the time display is blank, but the electronic control keeps correct time for about 24 hours. When power is restored, you have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. All other settings are maintained and never require resetting unless a change is desired.
If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the softener continues to work as it should to provide you with softwater. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the electronic control to the correct time of day, page 12.
Regeneration (Starting) time maximum days between regenerations efficiency mode heavy duty backwash 97% feature
Each of these settings has a factory set default value. The defaults are: Regeneration start time -- 2:00AM; Maximum days between regenerations -- 0 (display shows dY --); Efficiency Mode -- OFF; 97% Feature -- OFF; Heavy duty backwash -- OFF. The defaults suit most installations. However, depending on water supply quality, household peak water use hours, etc., adjustment is available to meet specific needs.
