Police, unruly crowds clash in streets
Ferguson, MO. -- The New York Times is reporting that a preliminary private autopsy has found that an unarmed teenager killed by a police officer in suburban St. Louis was shot at least six times, including twice in the head.
The autopsy was performed by Dr. Michael Baden, a former New York City chief medical examiner.
The shooting has spurred a week of angry protests, including Sunday night into Monday morning.
Witness said a peaceful protest over the shooting death of Michael Brown turned ugly, with police using tear gas to push back an unruly crowd.
On Sunday, Attorney General Eric Holder ordered a federal medical examiner to perform another autopsy on the body of Brown.

Guerlain's Exotic Paradise Collection saw the release of four new shades of KissKiss Lipstick and four new shades of Kiss Kiss Maxi Shine Lipstick. All of the lipsticks retail for $30 a pop, which makes them pretty pricey for most of us. To be honest, I liked all of the new shades, but I wouldn't say any of them are absolute must-haves.
I think the Maxi Shines are the perfect answer to anyone hunting for a subtly pigmented, sheer lipstick that goes on smoothly and gives a nice sheen. Grenadine Shine was particularly lovely for me, just because it is a subtle coral, making it an easy, everyday shade for me to wear. I was thinking Forever Beige would be a nice way to do a more neutral lip that wasn't nude, but I wasn't lovin' how it turned out in my lips, so I'll probably have to take that one back. On the other hand, Flushy Beige is a really lovely shade of rosy beige, which is incredibly natural-looking when applied but it amps up my natural lip color quite a bit. It makes my lips look slightly puckered, flushed, and subtly pink.
Right now, I'm leaning towards giong back and picking up Corial Passion and Baby Shine. I have some cool pink lipsticks, but they tend to be too cool to wear easily, so Baby Shine might give me a less intense cool pink to wear more often. Corail Passion is coral, and well, I love coral lipsticks–do I need to justify it anymore?

I've decided not to go with a chimney hood in my remodel. I like the look, but because of my open layout I think an under cab or more traditional style better suits my home. The main things I'm looking for are that it be effective and as quiet as possible. I know there has to be noise, but some are better than others. Do any of you have recommendations? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Unfortunately, my new undercabinet hood isn't fully functioning yet but wanted to document what we have so far. And also even if a bit premature, try to give a little back here since this forum has been extremely helpful for me. Background: Broan QP330ss FYI - I'm in the middle of an installation where I need to switch contractors for other reasons so my comments do not refer to an active function hood yet. My kitchen is Ikea (with an induction cooktop) and my installer would not install a 30 inch wide chimney hood in my space since the fit would have been exactly 30 inches. The installer didn't want the chimney butted up to the cabinets so tightly. Other installers may have different opinions since I have seen this config in pictures here. I read the Amazon reviews for this item. Many were not so good. My hood is currently installed except for the duct. My contractor didn't have any problems with the installation. FYI - many on Amazon seemed to think it was tricky especially if a DIY. I didn't order mine online. I went to Lowe's and ordered (without a discount) because I wanted to look the salesman in the eye in case I wanted to return. Also, I'm convinced that the delivery is the most critical part of ordering on line. I felt if I ordered from Lowe's, the deliveryman would be accountable to Lowe's and I could make that discussion happen without needing to go through some telemarketer in Pakistan or whatever. Not all features reviewed below but these were what I remember was important. PROS: The CFM rating was better than most of the under cabinet range hoods I looked at (if I remember correctly). halogen lights can be switched out for LEDs. I didn't find this out until after purchase. Kind of funny because I almost ruled out the hood because it was halogen. (By the way, I like the setting that turns the lights into a night light after dark. Going into the kitchen late at night is easier to navigate for us.) it is a new model so there is a chance that new technology will make it quieter (I hope, I hope) I liked that it had the feature where it will automatically change to the higher CFM mode if a lot smoke is detected. (Other hoods have this too but I thought this was a good thing if it works.) two options for routing duct. If you choose going back rather than up, your duct will be 3X14 which is a new size for range hood ducts. The good thing about this size is that it is larger and I am anticipating that this will make it quieter according to info I have read on the web. I don't have the duct installed yet so I don't know for sure. I wanted a good hood (and I couldn't fit a chimney style). I chose this in some ways because it was MORE expensive. (You get what you pay for sometimes?) I wanted a GOOD HOOD - our old kitchen didn't have one at all so I know first hand how much grime and grease can coat the cabinets without a functioning hood, at least in our kitchen. CONS: There are definitely cheaper and less powerful hoods out there. though the larger size of the duct may cause this hood to be quieter, it does take up more room in the walls. (Mine is being routed through a closet behind the kitchen. - wish it didn't extend quite so far out from the wall.) Biggest disappointment for me so far is that the surface underneath hood and above the counter is not totally flat - it slants down in back. This does not show on the pictures on the Broan web site. I am disappointed because I have a bottom open shelf on each side of the stove and the straigtness of the shelves doesn't line up with the slanted surface of the hood by about 2 inches. I may be the only one to notice but had I know about this "slant" I would have passed over this style. p.s. I just got notified that my review that was the same as above that I posted on the Broan website was rejected because they said it contained inappropriate information. I think their guidelines indicate they don't want any information not directly related to their product such as my comments as to how I handled my delivery.. They didn't say exactly, I'm just guessing. Just wanted to let y'all know that in case you find it as funny (and sad) as I do. I also suspect they didn't like my criticism of the "slant" but I can only speculate about that. Oh well. |

Thanks for posting, elphaba. I tried doing a search but became frustrated trying to find recent posts. Models and brand reliability change so fast that many people liked are no longer offered. We installed a Zepher at the lake house we built 7 yrs. ago. I like it, but I was coming from the perspective of only having had OTR micro vents. I am getting a 30" induction range and will be going w/ a 30" hood. Like you, I am having trouble finding that good mid-range hood. We're looking to purchase the appliances mid-March. I will keep an eye open for your review, once you get yours working. |

Once it was up, I stopped noticing it after a few days. Once I realized the functionality of the slant, it quit bothering me altogether. |
jellytoast, you have that same model hood? Have you had opportunities to use it? If, so, would you go with the same model, if you had it to do over? |
- Posted by jellytoast (My Page) on Tue, Feb 25, 14 at 14:37
No, I don't have the same hood, but I have a hood with the same "slant." Mine has baffles and I guess the point of the slant towards the back is so that the grease from the baffles can drain into the catch basins (?) at the rear of the hood. Some hoods, though, keep the slant on the interior of the hood with straight sides on the exterior. |

We LOVE our Kobe. It is very quiet on low, and not too intrusive on medium or high. It vents great, our model is rated at 640 CFM. We have the last model CHX 191 series 30 in (I think the newest one is more powerful, but I haven't looked in a while). It has everything I wanted: LED lights, baffles that can go in the DW, deep (22 in), seamless, quiet, and about 600 CFM on high. I would have preferred back vent, but I guess nothing is perfect. I think they have since started making more models with flexible venting options (some you can vent either direction). I waited for a sale and paid less than $600. The best advice I have is to pick stuff out as early as possible and stalk the price. You may even find watching 2-3 models works if you are flexible, then when one has a good sale you have your choice! |
williamsem, did you purchase your vent online or from a local vendor? |
- Posted by ILoveNaptime (My Page) on Thu, Feb 27, 14 at 10:32
I also have the Broan QP3 but it's the 36" version. We had it installed recently but haven't really used it much because our cooktop and counters are currently ripped out as we wait for new ones. It will go over a 30" induction cooktop. We bought this one because it fit our existing ductwork and it provided more light than other models (4 50 watt bulbs, I think?). Just like you, Elphaba, we almost didn't buy it because the bulbs were halogen instead of LED and I didn't realize until doing some online research that they could be swapped out. As far as noise goes, it is quieter than our old 1970's hood but I don't have much else to compare it with. Since we haven't cooked with it I'm not sure how powerful the venting is. The lights are very bright and hot so we might replace them with LED this summer. I did have to look at the manual to figure out how to deactivate the nightlight feature, which we didn't want. We're pleased with it so far and would buy the same one again. |
We just installed Zephyr Typhoon (750 cfm) and it is very quiet on low and extremely powerful. We have a Bluestar RNB and it pulled all of the WOKsmoke from the front 22,000 BTU burner using medium power on the fan without problem. It can be installed through the back but unfortunately we had a stud right in the way so it is installed up through the cabinet with a bend to the left and out between the studs. It is thinner in the front than the back which is what we wanted since we had a limited space for the hood. Please ignore the untiled band beneath the hood we just installed the hood and range! |
We got a Kenmore. I don't remember the model, but the price was about $260. This has been a big disappointment - almost as loud on low as on high. And, it is not very good at venting, even on high. This was not a value for the price. |
Another vote for the Zephyr Typhoon. With the curved profile it looks great, IMHO and has worked very well. Low is quiet and when you need more you've got it. Excellent hood and installed easily. We used Soapstone for the baksplash and the hood sits on it in the back |
- Posted by illinigirl (My Page) on Thu, Feb 27, 14 at 18:07
We ordered a Zephyr Monsoon (liner). It's being built in to a custom wood hood made by my cabinet maker. |
Thank you to those chiming in with more suggestions and experiences. I appreciate all the help I can get trying to sort through the various brands and models. |
I also have the Broan and it is the one item that I hate in my kitchen. OK - it is quiet OK - great halogen lights (and if above post is correct - maybe LED!) OK - the CFMs almost qualify for no make up air. So, I took out the filters to wash and only one fan on the left side and my big pasta pot is used on the right side. I want to swap it for Williamsen's Kobe or maybe the Zypher. |

I have a Broan Elite 661 undercabinet vent fan that I am happy with. Its "high" setting works well and is quiet enough so that I am not reluctant to use it. It also has a "boost" setting that is admittedly loud. I also like that since it uses a 3 1/4 x 14 duct I was able to run the duct up and out through the roof completely inside the wall, rather than taking up space inside the cabinet above it. My only complaint about it it that the specifications seem intentionally misleading. They list the output as 600 CFM and elsewhere list the sound for "high" as 2.5 sones, seemingly implying that at 600 CFM the fan makes 2.5 sones. No so. The 600 CFM is on the "boost" setting which I assure you is more than 2.5 sones. |

Found my confirmation, I got my Kobe through Build.com. I used a coupon they had and ended up paying about $540 (though I think it was just as the new model was about to come out). |
- Posted by beautybutdebtfree (My Page) on Fri, Feb 28, 14 at 8:36
I got a private label re-branded Zephyr Typhoon from Signature Hardware on clearance for $350 in black. I know it is the exact same as the typhoon because the interior schematic maps are identical. Their website has it spec'd as 600 cfm but I do not believe this; I believe this is the full blown 850 cfm typhoon. I love this hood and it was a great price, see how strong it is, that is a full size corningware french white quiche pan it is holding up (basically like a pyrex pie pan - and note that in this picture the second fan is wide open during this)!! But do beware this hood is a BEAR to install due to finicky mounting hole locations, and you would need at least two adults if you do it yourself and don't want to be frustrated. Also, on the "slanted" underside: this is engineered into the hood so the draft is more efficient at pulling the fumes/steam/heat that you want up into the fan. If the surface were only straight down, then some of the fumes/steam/heat would escape up the front surface outside the hood. That angle provides a small CROSS angle current so it is sucking up from directly below and also a small proportion from frontward, so more is captured.

Pretty cool
These gloves are great for either warm or cold weather. They do a pretty good job keeping the hands dry too, considering how thin they are. I can even fit my wrist guards underneath them. I just wish the gloves would come past the wrist a little further. Also, the pair I ordered did not have the grenade logo on the palm print, which I was glad to see.

The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

President Obama, faced with what he described as an "increasingly
dysfunctional" Congress, has turned repeatedly in recent weeks to the
time-honored, but often controversial executive order to unilaterally make
On Monday, Obama signed an executive order designed to require drug
companies to report anticipated manufacturing shortages in advance. Last
week, he said he would issue an executive order designed to help ease
home-refinancing rules. And earlier in the same week, the president issued
a directive to cap student loan payments.
The moves bear more than a slight resemblance to a strategy adopted by
President Clinton, who issued a slew of executive orders ahead of the 1996
election. But Clinton was far from the only president to use the strategy.
"I think it's taking a page from a lot of previous presidents, frankly,"
said William Howell, a professor of American politics at the University of
"When presidents can't get stuff done, they can't advance a policy agenda
... they have a strong incentive to exercise these unilateral powers," he
The executive order almost always generates controversy. There's no
explicit authorization in the Constitution for presidents to issue
executive orders, but there is a grant of executive power that allows the
president to ensure that "laws be faithfully executed."
The first executive order was issued by President George Washington in
1789. Some of the most famous and infamous acts of government came in the
form of executive orders - everything from Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation
Proclamation to Franklin D. Roosevelt's order to detain Japanese-Americans
during World War II.
Presidents Give And Take Away
Even though the orders can be - and frequently are - easily rescinded by a
succeeding president of another party, they can make short-term political
points with a public that expects its president "to get things done,"
Howell says.
And while Congress could block an executive order either by passing
legislation opposing it outright or simply refusing to fund it, the
president still has a veto.
The executive order "tends to be used in those cases where the president
says, 'Look, I can't produce majorities or supermajorities required to
enact legislation ... but the opposition isn't so strong that if I just
set policy that they will be able to overturn it," Howell said.
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, agreed.
"The fact is a president knows that for a great many things that he does,
Congress would be hard-pressed to mount an opposition or overcome a veto,"
Turley said.
That still leaves the possibility of judicial challenge, which is what
happened in 1952 when the Supreme Court ruled that President Truman didn't
have the authority to order the seizure of steel mills during a nationwide
labor strike. In 1996, a federal appeals panel nullified an executive
order from Clinton to prevent the U.S. government from contracting with
organizations that hired strikebreakers.
In recent years, however, the Supreme Court has generally made it harder
to challenge a president's actions, Turley said, leaving the president
with "unchecked power."
"That's an extremely dangerous thing for a system based on checks and
balances," Turley said.
"Particularly starting from Bill Clinton and later we have seen more of
these controversial executive orders," he said. "George W. Bush also
issued a great number. Particularly after 9/11, we have seen more and
"The problem is that half the public is always happy with the executive
order in our divided politics, so all the Democrats who were greatly
aggrieved by George W. Bush's executive orders are now conspicuously
silent," he said.
Turley said Obama's claim that "we can't wait" for Congress was "the worst
possible defense" for the use of executive orders - one that appears to
justify defying the legislative branch. But Howell sees one recent example
where the president might have done well to brandish the power, yet did
"I for one thought it was something of a mistake that Obama didn't at
least threaten to unilaterally lift the debt ceiling," he said. "The mere
threat of doing so might have informed the whole debate between the
president and Congress."

Demand for flu shots jumped in the Valley on Wednesday, the day after health authorities were rocked by news of a severe shortage of the vaccine this year.
"The demand has obviously tripled since yesterday," said Dr. Art Mollen, who oversees vaccinations in about 40 clinics statewide. "I don't necessarily see a panic out there, however. I'm glad to see that."
Mollen said it appears people already have gotten the message that flu shots should be reserved for the very young, the elderly, pregnant women and people whose underlying health problems make them susceptible to the dangerous disease.
"I think that's outstanding and commend the people of Arizona," he said.
Several other East Valley doctors' offices said they hadn't seen a spike in demand Wednesday, nor had Dr. Karen Lewis, infectious disease specialist for the Arizona Department of Health Services. However, Lewis said, "I know people who are in the high-risk category who want to go ahead and get their shots" as soon as possible.
Flu season in the United States normally begins in November or December, but health authorities begin urging immunizations in October.
Last year the first case of influenza was reported in the East Valley the last week of October. It came as health officials warned of an unusually dangerous flu season along with a shortage of vaccine, and by early December many East Valley pharmacies and medical facilities were swamped with long lines of people seeking shots.
This year's vaccine shortage will be even graver than last year's because British authorities, citing manufacturing problems, unexpectedly shut down a major flu-shot supplier Tuesday. The plant had been expected to make about 46 million doses for shipment to the United States.
American companies that make the vaccine can't compensate in time because the process, which involves cultivating live flu viruses in chicken eggs, takes many months.
State health officials, appearing Wednesday in a press conference with Gov. Janet Napolitano, said Arizona likely will get only a million doses this year, compared with 2 million last season.
Lewis, though, sees a silver lining.
"The system of getting safe vaccine out there works," she said. "They check the sterility to make sure in the multiple steps of making the vaccine there is not a breakdown of sterility. Because of this, they are not sending unsafe vaccine out there."
Even with the shortage, Lewis said, "If we prioritize correctly there is no reason for panic." People in generally good health do not need the vaccine to the degree that others do, she said. "Healthy people rarely have serious complications from influenza, although they may miss a week of school or work."
Furthermore, Lewis said, influenza is only one of many ailments that circulate during the winter. The vaccine protects against a constantly mutating virus that's held responsible for killing about 36,000 mostly elderly people each year in the United States. But it won't stop any cold viruses whose symptoms can sometimes be flu-like.
Mollen said he won't reject apparently healthy people who want the shots.
"Our job is not to police this," he said. "It's very difficult to turn away someone who comes to one of our clinics and they wait in line for an hour, and then tell them they can't get an immunization. . . . All I can say is, let their conscience be their guide."

Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark will not play in Sunday's playoff game against the Denver Broncos because of a blood disorder bolstered by high-altitude, low-oxygen conditions.
Clark, 32, has sickle cell trait, which means he carries an abnormal version of the hemoglobin gene. Although he's spared the severe symptoms of sickle cell disease (in which both versions of the gene — one from each parent — are abnormal), Clark could suffer life-threatening organ damage playing in Denver's mile-high stadium.
"It was an easy decision for us," Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said in a news conference Tuesday. "When looking at all of our data, we came to the determination he is at more risk so we are not going to play him. It's just that simple."
A 2007 game in Denver sent Clark into sickle cell crisis, a complication that cost him his spleen and gallbladder and ended his season.
"The hemoglobin actually crystallizes in the blood and the red blood cells become deformed," said Dr. Jasmine Zain, assistant professor of medicine at NYU Langone Medical Center.
Hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen. "This causes the blood to sludge and block the blood vessels," she said.
Those blockages can cause organ failure, heart attack, stroke and excruciating joint pain, Zain added.
Since 2007, the Steelers have faced the Broncos in Denver twice, and Clark sat on the bench both times.
People with sickle cell trait usually live normal lives, often unaware of their condition.
"It's usually not a problem unless they're in a situation of hypoxia," Zain said, referring to the state of low oxygen levels in the body. "And for professional athletes, the oxygen requirements are higher. A normal person who has sickle cell trait and goes to Denver would probably not have an issue."
Clark will travel to Denver with his team and help out from the sidelines.
"It would have been an amazing triumph to come back and play there, to have things come full circle and to be all right," he told ESPN. "So to not be on the field is disheartening, but God has his plan."
Unlike people with sickle cell trait, who have some normal hemoglobin, people with full-blown sickle cell disease face life-threatening complications throughout their lives. "Their lives can be extremely difficult, even consumed by sickling," Zain said.
But thanks to treatments that lower the concentration of abnormal hemoglobin, as well as better management of complications, their life expectancies are growing. "Now we're seeing people in their 40s, 50s and 60s with sickle cell disease," she said. "They used to die in their 20s and 30s."
The only cure for sickle cell disease is a bone marrow transplant, usually from an unaffected sibling.

Study Links Water Wall, Legionnaires' Disease Uptick
Audie Cornish talks with Thomas Haupt, respiratory disease epidemiologist for the Wisconsin Division of Public Health. He's the lead author of the study that helped uncover the source of a mysterious and large uptick in Legionnaires' disease cases. The study, "An Outbreak of Legionnaires Disease Associated with a Decorative Water Wall Fountain in a Hospital" was published in the online journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology.

Here's a title for a medical study that you just couldn't make up: An Outbreak of Legionnaires Disease Associated with a Decorative Water Wall Fountain in a Hospital. Yikes. The study was published yesterday in the journal Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology. It found that a water wall in a Wisconsin hospital lobby - perhaps intended to be soothing - in fact helped to spread a potentially life-threatening bacteria. Thomas Haupt is the lead author of that study. He's an epidemiologist for the Wisconsin Division of Public Health. Thomas, welcome to the program.
THOMAS HAUPT: Glad to be here.
CORNISH: First of all, explain briefly what Legionnaires' disease is.
HAUPT: Legionnaires' disease is a respiratory infection that results in pneumonia. Symptoms would include headache, high fevers, lack of appetite. It has about a 10 percent fatality rate and that's something that actually is caused by inhalation of bacteria from a contaminated water source.
CORNISH: So Thomas, in 2010, eight people contracted Legionnaires'. They had all been in the hospital lobby, but they call came from different places and I'm wondering how you did the detective work to link them to this particular water wall.
HAUPT: Well, it started off with our routine surveillance for Legionnaires' disease in Wisconsin. We did notice that within a four week period in this small area we had at least eight cases of Legionnaires' disease. Our follow-up is to ask questions as to where they may have been in the 10 days prior to their onset of illness. At least six of the patients identified that they had been in one particular hospital.
Through further follow-up, the other two patients actually we found out that they were in the hospital as well, picking up some pharmaceuticals at the pharmacy, which is directly adjacent to the water wall. We tried to get a hypothesis as to what exactly was being - what was the cause, and the water wall seemed to be the most logical. So we did the follow-up testing on the water and on the foam that was in the water, which was used to prevent splashing. And we found that they were badly contaminated.
CORNISH: Now, how is that possible? I would assume you might be able to use chlorine or something to keep it clean. I mean, what was the problem with the water wall specifically?
HAUPT: The use of chlorine within - and this, again, is in an atrium of a hospital - would have caused a lot of smell. The hospital did great routine maintenance, but one of the downfalls was - actually, there were several. So they put this foam in and they also had lights underneath, plus the water wall was also directly adjacent to a fireplace. Now, Legionella disease, every water supply has some if you look for it closely enough. But the fact that it was warm water through the heat that was produced, it produced very high amounts of Legionella disease. Now...
CORNISH: So you basically have a breeding ground and then the conditions for breeding.
HAUPT: That's exactly right. You know, and just a small portion of that foam had well over a million colony forming units of Legionella bacteria, which is very, very high.
CORNISH: Wow. So just walking by it, you can essentially take in vapors?
HAUPT: You can take in vapors. Actually, it's an aerosol mist from water and it usually affects - Legionella affects people who have some kind of an underlying illness, or are on some kind medications where their immunity may be lower. Smoking is also a risk factor, where your lungs are affected and by just getting small amounts of Legionella inhaled, you can actually come down with Legionella disease.
CORNISH: And it's interesting detective work because I think in your report, I read that one of the patients who came down with it was a delivery person who had been a smoker.
HAUPT: That's right. And when he came down with it, he actually was not in a position - he was very sick and we had to look back at his manifests from his truck route and we tracked it down to find out that yes, indeed, at least twice in that 10 days prior to his onset of illness, he had been in that hospital lobby.
CORNISH: Thomas, thanks so much for talking with us.
HAUPT: Thank you very much for having me on.
CORNISH: Thomas Haupt is the lead author of a study linking a water wall in a Wisconsin hospital to an outbreak of Legionnaires' disease. By the way, all eight of the people who contracted Legionnaires' have recovered.

Smart Fuel: Broccoli Rabe
Posted By Worker Bee On January 17, 2008 @ 12:21 pm In Diet,Health,Nutrition,Smart Fuel | No Comments
As was mentioned in a previous post, broccoli rabe (pronounced rob) is one vegetable that has more aliases than Jennifer Garner. Often referred to as rapini, rappa, Italian turnip, fall and spring rabe, and broccoli de rape, the one thing this vegetable can't be confused for is broccoli itself!
As a member of the brassica family, broccoli rabe is most closely related to cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, rutabaga and turnips and even has some ties to the mustard family.
Much like its relatives, broccoli rabe is a great source of folate, which is important in fetal development and may also reduce the risk of cancer, especially tumors of the colon, breast, cervix and lung. When combined with vitamins B6 and B12, as is the case in broccoli rabe, folate can also lower the risk of heart disease and stroke. In addition, broccoli rabe touts high levels of vitamin K and magnesium, which is integral for bone development and repair.
Still not convinced? Broccoli rabe is also an excellent source of the phytochemical indole-3-carbinol – which aids in estrogen metabolism and is linked to a reduction in the risk of hormone-dependent cancers including those of the prostate and breast – and Sulforaphane, which helps neutralize carcinogenic chemicals and detoxify the body.
Available year round, choose broccoli rabe that has thin stalks, bright green leaves and few, if any, open flowers. To prepare, rinse well in cold water, then remove the tougher part of the lower stem. The rabe can then be blanched, steamed, boiled, sautéed or simmered at low temperature before being added to omelets or quiches. Brocolli rabe is also excellent when served alone as a side dish, especially when sprinkled with vinaigrette or topped with a high-quality parmesan cheese.

Microsoft Secure Boot Could Ban Windows From PCs
- Tuesday August 28, 2012
When Windows 8 computers start shipping later this year, they will come with a brand-new Microsoft firmware feature called Secure Boot. A year ago, Linux lovers were worrying that Secure Boot was going to somehow give Linux the boot, but now it looks like there's a brand-new twist to the story. It can also be used to keep Microsoft's software from running on a computer.
