Eating By Color: Orange
by Toby Amidor in Healthy Tips, October 19, 2010Throughout the day you should eat a rainbow of foods — red, yellow, orange, green, blue, purple and white. Each color is rich in specific nutrients that help make a well-balanced diet. In this series we'll tell you why each color is important, and with Halloween around the corner, we thought it was most appropriate to start with orange. Find out how to get some on your plate every day.
What Orange Foods Have to Offer
What gives most foods their orange hue is the antioxidant beta-carotene, which also helps support healthy skin, hair and vision. Most folks typically fall short when it comes to beta-carotene in their diet, so it's important to make sure you have some orange on your plate each day. The yellowish color found in citrus fruit doesn't contain much beta-carotene, but is chock-full of another antioxidant, vitamin C which also helps fight infection. Here are 5 must-eat orange fruits and veggies, plus recipes to try.
Don't worry if you can't go pumpkin picking this season; many recipes call for the canned stuff. Make sure to choose canned pumpkin and not the highly-sweetened canned pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkins contain the antioxidant lutein, which help give you healthy skin and eyes.
Recipe: Pumpkin Rice Pudding
This orange fruit is a good source of potassium and fiber. Fresh ones make for an easy on-the-go snack. Apricot season runs from May to July, but you can use dried apricots year-round for trail mix or these Apricot-Oat Bars.
Recipe: Apricot Oat Bars
Besides being an excellent source of both vitamin A and C, cantaloupe is also a good source of folate. One-quarter of a medium melon contains 50 calories and can be added to salads or wrapped in a little prosciutto.
Recipe: Prosciutto Purses
Carrots are a low calorie veggie — a medium one has just 30 calories! Although you may have only seen orange carrots, they can also be found in purple, white and yellow. Dip carrots in hummus or one of these smarter dips or make an easy carrot salad, no mayo needed.
Recipe: Carrot Salad
Did you know that mangoes are the most widely consumed fruit in the world? With a half a fruit providing 70 calories of goodness, make mangoes part of your healthy diet.
Recipe: Mango Salsa
This bright yellow-orange fruit is an excellent source of vitamin C and a good source of fiber. They also contain an antioxidant called cryptoxanthins, which helps protect cells from damage. One of Dana's favorite varieties of orange are blood oranges—they make a mean cocktail.
Recipe: Blood Orange Bellini
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are the oldest veggie on record, and they definitely deserve their place at the table. One medium baked potato provides 105 calories, tons of vitamins A and C and a good amount of potassium. There are so many ways to enjoy this fall favorite, but this recipe is the most requested in my house.
Recipe: Honey-Roasted Sweet Potatoes
TELL US: How do you get your daily dose of orange?

(By Jay Pees ) Hammett, PA, September 8, 2013: The September Sweep finale, originally set for Saturday night, was run Sunday with B-Mains filling out the feature lineups, then features for all divisions with the highest purses of the season.
The UEMS Plyler Overhead Door E-Mods ran two B-Mains, won by Steve Dixon and Carl McKinney. Steve Sornberger and Dan Sasso were the provisional starters.
Randy Hall and Justin Carlson brought the UEMS Plyler Overhead Door ULMS E-Mod feature to the green with Hall, a former series champion, immediately taking the lead. Several cautions slowed the early going. By lap two the newly crowned Eriez champion, Rich Michael, was second with Carlson third and former Eriez champion Dave Hess fourth. At five laps complete Vic Vena moved to fourth while at the front Michael was challenging Hall. The two were side by side with Dave Hess right behind from lap six through thirteen with Hall pulling back to the lead at lap fourteen. At lap sixteen Hess was alongside Michael with the lapped traffic coming into play. The lead battle was three-wide coming by the line to finish lap eighteen. The three stayed three wide till turn three when Michael turned hard into the turn three concrete wall, possibly after wheel to wheel contact with a lapped car. On the lap prior to the yellow Hess was slightly ahead at the line so restarted the event from the lead. One lap after green again flew Vena came to second but Hess was pulling away from the pack. Hess's lead vanished at lap 24 when Steve Simon got into the turn two wall, setting up a six lap run to the checkers. The final six laps had Hall coming back to second but Hess was opening his lead again, heading to a $5000 payday. Vena and Hall ran side by side over the last lap with Hall getting the spot by inches. 2012 track champion Joel Watson was fourth and 2013 McKean County Raceway champion Steve Dixon fifth.
Plyler Overhead Door UEMS E-Mods:
B-Main1: Steve Dixon, John Boyd, John Boardman, Steve Simon, Brian Fardink, Dan Sasso, Bill Raylor, Cubby Haupt
Heat 2: Carl McKinney, Shane Crotty, John Schenker, Tom Hagberg, Steve Sornberger, Gary Murphy, Tony Marrotto
Feature: Dave Hess, Randy Hall, Vic Vena, Joel Watson, Steve Dixon, Butch Southwell, Justin Carlson, Russ Dunn, Greg Johnson, Kenny Zimmer, John Boyd, Shane Crotty, Steve Sornberger, John Schenker, Tom Hagberg, Scott Pangrazio, Carl McKinney, Steve Simon, Mike Smith, Rich Michael, Dan Sasso, Darren Tarabori, John Boardman, Chad Carlson

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)A Study in Contrasts: Ave Maria University and the University of Notre Dame
By Deacon Keith Fournier
May 11th, 2009 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) The other University named for Our Lady honors only those who recognize and embrace the truth concerning the dignity of every human life at every age and stage. AVE MARIA, Fl (Catholic Online) – The eyes of the faithful watch the unfolding events at the University of Notre Dame with deep concern as commencement exercises draw near in South Bend. Many are praying earnestly that the leadership of that University will change its mind at the last moment and not bestow an honorary Doctor of Law Degree on our President because of his strong opposition to the fundamental Human Right to Life.The entire incident has revealed a serious deficiency in the state of the Catholic Academy in the United States and beyond. It has also galvanized Catholics, other Christians, other people of faith and many other people of good will. It has birthed a massive response of prayer and Catholic Action which will have repercussions for years to come. Meanwhile, there is another smaller and newer University named for Our Lady in Southwestern Florida. It proudly proclaims the words of the Angel "Ave Maria" without any compromise. Ave Maria University held its commencement exercises this past weekend. The Baccalaureate Mass was celebrated on Friday, May 8 at 2:00 p.m. by Fr. Frank Pavone, Pro-Life hero and National Director of Priests for Life. He was the recipient of an Honorary Doctorate precisely because of his heroic leadership in the great human rights movement of our age, the struggle to recognize the right to life of every human life at every age and stage. This new University named for Our Lady is very clear concerning its commitment to living out its Catholic identity as is seen in this clear summary of its mission: "Founded in fidelity to Christ and His Church in response to the call of Vatican II for greater lay witness in contemporary society, Ave Maria University exists to further teaching, research, and learning at the undergraduate and graduate levels in the abiding tradition of Catholic thought in both national and international settings. The University takes as its mission the sponsorship of a liberal arts education curriculum dedicated, as articulated in the apostolic constitution Ex Corde Ecclesiae, to the advancement of human culture, the promotion of dialogue between faith and reason, the formation of men and women in the intellectual and moral virtues of the Catholic faith, and to the development of professional and pre-professional programs in response to local and societal needs. As an institution committed to Catholic principles, the University recognizes the importance of creating and maintaining an environment in which faith informs the life of the community and takes expression in all its programs." Then there is the issue of who was invited to give the commencement address at this other University. Dr. Thomas Hilgers spoke to the AMU graduates. He founded the Nebraska-based Pope Paul VI Institute in 1985. The Institute is fully committed to the truths taught by the Natural Law, affirmed by Revelation and expounded upon by the Church. Those truths inform the Institute in fulfilling its mission of studying women's reproductive health. In 1994, Pope John Paul II appointed Dr. Hilgers to full membership in the Pontifical Academy for Life and, with his wife; he served for five years on the Pontifical Council for the Family. In 1997, the Nebraska Family Council named Hilgers Physician of the Year. In 2001, he was presented with the John Cardinal Wright Award by the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars. In 2004 he was the recipient of the Linacre Award, one of the highest awards given by the Catholic Medical Association In the context of an uplifting and stirring speech, Dr. Hilgers referred to President Obama as "viciously pro-abortion" in his policies. He acknowledged that the Obama administration has "made available embryonic stem cell research funds," and noted that "as an obstetrician, I am in the cross-hairs of Obama's administration." He called the graduates of AMU to be missionaries who were dedicated to building a new culture of life and civilization of love, "…You're going to be in the group of people – praise the Lord – who will have the opportunity to be a part of the culture of life…. Pope John Paul II has called us all to (build) a culture of life within a civilization of love." He charged them with this commission "God calls all of us to do something special, and with prayer and perseverance, you will find your calling." The study in contrasts between these two Universities could not be clearer. One University named for Our Lady has lost its soul, evidenced by its awarding a Law Degree to a man who fails to recognize the fundamental human right to Life, the very foundation of the Natural Law. In so doing it is acting in contradiction to this clear instruction of the US Bishops in their 2004 document entitled "Catholics in Political Life": "The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions." The other University named for Our Lady honors only those who recognize and embrace the truth concerning the dignity of every human life at every age and stage. That little University is unafraid to stand as fully Catholic, in fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church. Later in his address Dr. Hilgers challenged the Ave Maria graduates to take their place in fulfilling the plan of God for the Third Millennium through their participation in the mission of the Church with these words: "When God wants something done, He doesn't dispatch a legion of avenging angels … He sends a baby – and then He waits… You are this generation's babies … and God has been waiting for you to be a part of the culture of life."

When it comes to organic, eco-friendly products, we usually think of bath, body, baby, home, and garden products. But what about our pets? Soaps and shampoos, litter boxes, flea repellents and odor control products can have a negative impact on the health of your pets as well as our health.
Here are a few reasons to use natural products for your pets.
- Harsh chemicals used in many conventional pet care products will eventually make their way into the water supply, soil and air affecting both indoor air and outdoor air quality.
- Most natural products are not animal tested whereas many conventional companies do engage in that practice.
The health of your pets
- Animals naturally lick their fur and will ingest the chemicals that are used on them making them ill.
- Some pet shampoos contains pesticides that can trigger reactions from allergies to more serious health problems.
- Synthetic compounds in flea and tick remedies can damage animals skin and fur.
- Synthetic chemical products used on our pets can affect our health too.
What are some alternatives?
Halo Pets
Halo Pets offers environmentally friendly, and safe pet care products like their Halo Herbal Shampoo
which has an infusion of botanical oils and extracts in a coconut, olive and jojoba oil soap base. Other products includes grooming supplies for dogs and cats, foods and supplements.
Canine Earth
Canine Earth offers USDA Organic doggie bath products that's free of petrochemicals, sulfates, parabens, artificial colors and fragrances. Products include their Lay Down Lavender Vanilla Conditioning Coat Cleanser and the Come Here Coconut Mint Aromatherapy Coat Spray.
Eco-Me has both do it yourself and ready made grooming and pet waste disposal/removal kits for both dogs and cats. Their Element Cat Litter Freshener and Dog Leash Tote with Poo Poo Bags are just two of the many products they offer. In addition to pet supplies, they have eco-friendly cleaning, skin care, baby and nursery care products.
Clean+Green is a line of environmentally friendly pet cleaning products. If you need a safe and effective cleaner to eliminate pet odors and stains from wood, tile, carpet, furniture, automobiles and more, they offer products that fits just about every need.
In the next few days, I will post a couple of giveaways offering some of these products.

73rd All India Industrial Exhibition from 1st Jan to 15th Feb 2013 at Nampally Hyderabad
The one-stop shop for you to buy all the things you'll never use. And the same stalls every year, too. So that just in case you forgot to buy something you'll never use last year, you can make up for it this time around.
The Exhibition Grounds are known best for this much-loved industrial exhibition. But did you know that there are other things held here as well? Bet you didn't. Ha! There are in fact many other events held here. For instance, the annual National Science Exhibition, with its endless rows of nerds and education-resistant schoolchildren being herded along, and the slightly hoity international participant stalls.
The Hyderabad Art Society has held its annual shows here with local and national artists at the grounds, and the area is also popular with schools and organizations that hold competitions of all sorts. The Indian Consumer Exhibition is also a big favorite, as is the National Handloom Expo, showcasing fabrics from all over the country

Descriptive statistics enable you to understand and describe potentially large sets of data quickly. Statistics Toolbox includes functions for calculating:
These functions help you summarize values in a data sample using a few highly relevant numbers.
In some cases, estimating summary statistics using parametric methods is not possible. To deal with these cases, Statistics Toolbox provides resampling techniques, including:
With regression, you can model a continuous response variable as a function of one or more predictors. Statistics Toolbox offers a wide variety of regression algorithms, including linear regression, generalized linear models, nonlinear regression, and mixed-effects models.
Linear regression is a statistical modeling technique used to describe a continuous response variable as a function of one or more predictor variables. It can help you understand and predict the behavior of complex systems or analyze experimental, financial, and biological data.
The toolbox offers several types of linear regression models and fitting methods, including:
Computational Statistics: Feature Selection, Regularization, and Shrinkage with MATLAB
In this webinar, you will learn how to use Statistics Toolbox to generate accurate predictive models from data sets that contain large numbers of correlated variables.
Nonlinear regression is a statistical modeling technique that helps describe nonlinear relationships in experimental data. Nonlinear regression models are generally assumed to be parametric, where the model is described as a nonlinear equation. Typically machine learning methods are used for non-parametric nonlinear regression.
The toolbox also offers robust nonlinear fitting to deal with outliers in the data.
Fitting with MATLAB: Statistics, Optimization, and Curve Fitting
In this webinar, you will learn applied curve fitting using MathWorks products. MathWorks engineers will present a series of techniques for solving real world challenges.

Statistics Toolbox supports fitting generalized linear models with the following response distributions:
Fitting Data with Generalized Linear Models (Example)
How to fit and evaluate generalized linear models using glmfit and glmval.
Linear and nonlinear mixed-effects models are generalizations of linear and nonlinear models for data that is collected and summarized in groups. These models describe the relationship between a response variable and independent variables, with coefficients that can vary with respect to one or more grouping variables.
Statistics Toolbox supports fitting multilevel or hierarchical models with nested and/or crossed random effects, which can be used to perform a variety of studies, including:
Statistics Toolbox enables you to perform model assessment for regression algorithms using tests for statistical significance and goodness-of-fit measures such as:
You can calculate confidence intervals for both regression coefficients and predicted values.
Statistics Toolbox also supports nonparametric regression techniques for generating an accurate fit without specifying a model that describes the relationship between the predictor and the response. Nonparametric regression techniques can be more broadly classified under supervised machine learning for regression and include decision trees as well as boosted and bagged regression trees.
Nonparametric Fitting
Develop a predictive model without specifying a function that describes the relationship between variables.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) enables you to assign sample variance to different sources and determine whether the variation arises within or among different population groups. Statistics Toolbox includes these ANOVA algorithms and related techniques:
Machine learning algorithms use computational methods to "learn" information directly from data without assuming a predetermined equation as a model. They can adaptively improve their performance as you increase the number of samples available for learning.

Cluster Analysis (Example)
Use k-means and hierarchical clustering to discover natural groupings in data.
Regression algorithms enable you to model a continuous response variable as a function of one or more predictors. Statistics Toolbox offers a wide variety of parametric and nonparametric classification algorithms, such as:
Computational Statistics: Feature Selection, Regularization, and Shrinkage with MATLAB
In this webinar, you will learn how to use Statistics Toolbox to generate accurate predictive models from data sets that contain large numbers of correlated variables.
Multivariate statistics provide algorithms and functions to analyze multiple variables. Typical applications include dimensionality reduction by feature transformation and feature selection, and exploring relationships between variables using visualization techniques, such as scatter plot matrices and classical multidimensional scaling.
Fitting an Orthogonal Regression Using Principal Component Analysis (Example)
Implement Deming regression (total least squares).
Feature transformation (sometimes called feature extraction) is a dimensionality reduction technique that transforms existing features into new features (predictor variables) where less descriptive features can be dropped. The toolbox offers the following approaches for feature transformation:
Partial Least Squares Regression and Principal Component Regression (Example)
Model a response variable in the presence of highly correlated predictors.
Feature selection is a dimensionality reduction technique that selects only the subset of measured features (predictor variables) that provide the best predictive power in modeling the data. It is useful when you are dealing with high-dimensional data or when collecting data for all features is cost prohibitive.
Feature selection methods include:
Feature selection can be used to:
Selecting Features for Classifying High-Dimensional Data (Example)
Select important features for cancer detection.
Statistics Toolbox provides graphs and charts to explore multivariate data visually, including:
Statistics Toolbox provides functions and an app to work with parametric and nonparametric probability distributions.
The toolbox lets you compute, fit, and generate samples from over 40 different distributions, including:
See the complete list of supported distributions.
With these tools, you can:
The Distribution Fitting app enables you to fit data using predefined univariate probability distributions, a nonparametric (kernel-smoothing) estimator, or a custom distribution that you define. This app supports both complete data and censored (reliability) data. You can exclude data, save and load sessions, and generate MATLAB code.
You can estimate distribution parameters at the command line or construct probability distributions that correspond to the governing parameters.
Additionally, you can create multivariate probability distributions, including Gaussian mixtures and multivariate normal, multivariate t, and Wishart distributions. You can use copulas to create multivariate distributions by joining arbitrary marginal distributions using correlation structures.
Simulating Dependent Random Numbers Using Copulas (Example)
Create distributions that model correlated multivariate data.
With the toolbox, you can specify custom distributions and fit these distributions using maximum likelihood estimation.
Fitting Custom Univariate Distributions (Example)
Perform maximum likelihood estimation on truncated, weighted, or bimodal data.
Statistics Toolbox provides statistical plots to evaluate how well a data set matches a specific distribution. The toolbox includes probability plots for a variety of standard distributions, including normal, exponential, extreme value, lognormal, Rayleigh, and Weibull. You can generate probability plots from complete data sets and censored data sets. Additionally, you can use quantile-quantile plots to evaluate how well a given distribution matches a standard normal distribution.
Statistics Toolbox also provides hypothesis tests to determine whether a data set is consistent with different probability distributions. Specific tests include:
Statistics Toolbox provides functions for analyzing probability distributions, including:
Statistics Toolbox provides functions for generating pseudo-random and quasi-random number streams from probability distributions. You can generate random numbers from either a fitted or constructed probability distribution by applying the random method.
Statistics Toolbox also provides functions for:
You can also generate quasi-random number streams. Quasi-random number streams produce highly uniform samples from the unit hypercube. Quasi-random number streams can often accelerate Monte Carlo simulations because fewer samples are required to achieve complete coverage.
MATLAB Coder lets you generate portable and readable C code for more than 100 Statistics Toolbox functions including probability distribution and descriptive statistics. The generated code can be used for:
Statistics Toolbox can be used with Parallel Computing Toolbox™ to decrease computation time. The toolbox has built-in parallel computing support for algorithms such as cross-validation, bootstrapping, and allows you to speed up Monte Carlo simulation, or other statistical problems.
Built-in support for parallel computing in Statistics Toolbox enables you to run statistical computations in parallel to gain speed and reduce the execution time of your program or functions.
You can speed up random number generation while maintaining the same statistical properties of random numbers generated without parallelization. This allows for your computation using these random numbers to be completely reproducible.
Random variation can make it difficult to determine whether samples taken under different conditions are actually different. Hypothesis testing is an effective tool for analyzing whether sample-to-sample differences are significant and require further evaluation or are consistent with random and expected data variation.
Statistics Toolbox supports widely used parametric and nonparametric hypothesis testing procedures, including:
Selecting a Sample Size (Example)
Calculate the sample size necessary for a hypothesis test.
Functions for design of experiments (DOE) enable you to create and test practical plans to gather data for statistical modeling. These plans show how to manipulate data inputs in tandem to generate information about their effect on data outputs. Supported design types include:
You can use Statistics Toolbox to define, analyze, and visualize a customized DOE. For example, you can estimate input effects and input interactions using ANOVA, linear regression, and response surface modeling, then visualize results through main effect plots, interaction plots, and multivari charts.
Statistics Toolbox provides a set of functions that support statistical process control (SPC). These functions enable you to monitor and improve products or processes by evaluating process variability. With SPC functions, you can:

Lifetime Oregon, second generation. Born in Tigard, Oregon, May, 1958. The first District is literally my home town. I lived in the mid-west briefly in the 1960s. I recognize the unique qualities of Oregon. I understand the need to create livable wage jobs while striking a balance between business development and sustaining our high environmental standards. A new compact is needed between the people and their government. Now, more than ever, we need mature adults managing the nation's pocketbook in Washington, DC.
My legislative initiatives: Mandate E-Verify nationwide for all U.S. workers. Rename Homeland Security with new title encouraging more local community based citizen involvement. Establish a national standard for parking permits for disabled people. Require 50 state reciprocity for disabled driving placards. Authorize Medicare to allow physicians to conduct billable appointments via e-mail, text message and telephone, instead of requiring office visits (conserves Medicare resources). Increase investment in national volunteer programs like AmeriCorps to encourage most Americans between ages 18-22 years old to participate in national service by 2016. Partisan issues need to be put away. Statesmen-like votes need to be made for the common good, not partisan political gain. Thank you. Todd Ritter.

Concierge.com's insider take:
While they vary greatly in taste, the essential processes of making Scotch whisky don't differ from one distillery to the next. Each malt whisky producer may boast different-shaped stills, their own coopers, or even geese that act as guard dogs, but the heart of the operation will still revolve around milling, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and maturing. This means that one, possibly two distillery visits are enough for all but the most dedicated Scotch lover.
Thanks to its flower displays and pagoda-style chimneys, Glenfiddich is one of the more postcard-friendly operations, and its distillery tour and visitor center are surprisingly in-depth. The standard tour and sample is free, but for £20 ($40) there is a more comprehensive tour and tutored tasting of several expressions of the global Glenfiddich brand (Dufftown; 44-1340-820-373).
The colorful Major Grant was the driving force behind the early years of Glen Grant whisky. The distillery that bears his name distinctly lacks the swashbuckling romance of its founder, but is worth visiting for the Victorian gardens alone (Rothes; 44-1340-832-103).
An altogether more romantic experience is on offer within the whitewashed walls of Benromach Distillery, the smallest working distillery in Speyside. It's a tiny player compared to the Glenlivets and Glenfiddichs of the whisky world, but its tour feels more personal and you are more likely to leave thinking of whisky as a handcrafted product (Invererne Rd., Forres; 44-1309-675-968). The same could be said of the smallest distillery in all of Scotland, the privately owned boutique operation at Edradour, which makes in a year what the big boys produce in a week (by Moulin; 44-1796-472-095).
Fans of smoky, peaty whiskey should make the pilgrmage to Islay, where eight different distilleries dot the island. A good pub argument can be started by asking which is best. Ardbeg, pictured, is a strong contender, not just for its briny complexity but also for its craggy coastal location (Port Ellen, Islay; 44-1496-302-244).
While in the Speyside area, whisky aficionados should try the Quaich Bar at the Craigellachie Hotel. The walls are lined with hundreds of bottles of whisky from £2 ($4) a shot to a 35-year-old Springbank that sells at £155 (more than $300) a measure.

Fairmont Scottsdale, Scottsdale
Posted on: October 8, 2008 at 8:44AM
The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess is the home of the Willow Stream Spa. Located in a separate building from the hotel rooms the architect distanced the spa goer to set the scene for serenity. One step into the $10 million dollar facility set the stage for serenity with their polished stone water entry. I was lucky enoguth to be there during a winter rain. The aroma of the desert in rain is heady. My favorite treatment was the waterfall massage, no extra cost. What looked like a wall of water was a magnificent spot on self massage. I moved my shoulder and back between the falls thin streams and big deluges. I like to swim at night. The Fairmont has many pools but the pool on top of the Willow Stream is magical under a deep black desert night sky. Floating on my back, alone on the roof, I was an astronaut moving through the stars, weightless and serene. I slept like a baby that night. Isnt that why we visit spas?

Ask an Eye M.D. Answer Archive
Please read our important medical disclaimer.
I have a red mark on my eye that got bigger. I have been told it is bloodshot but it has been in my eye for two days now. I woke up and noticed the mark, it stings when I blink and I touched it and it really hurt. Can you help? Thanks.
A red spot on the white of the eye is often a benign condition resulting from a broken blood vessel, called a subconjunctival hemorrhage. This can happen for no reason or can be a result of straining such as a cough or lifting weights. It is usually pain-free; however, mild stinging and tenderness are possible but uncommon. The fact that you say it "really hurt" makes me concerned that the red spot may be a focal area of inflammation in the eye called episcleritis or scleritis. If your vision is not affected I think it is safe to wait a day or two to see if the red spot starts to resolve. It may take longer to completely resolve, though. If it gets worse, enlarges or becomes clearly associated with pain or decreased vision then a consult with an Eye M.D. is necessary.

Nominations for the annual BC Book Prizes have been announced, and once again Sunshine Coast publishers have risen to the top.
Harbour Publishing and their acquisition Douglas & McIntyre are celebrating the work of several finalists.
They're all good choices, said Harbour publisher Howard White.
They include David Stouck's biography, Arthur Erickson, An Architect's Life (D&M), an intimate portrait of the brilliant and controversial architect who put Canada on the world stage. This first full biography of Erickson, who died in 2009 at the age of 84, traces his life from its modest origins to his emergence internationally.
White noted that it has been short-listed or nominated for six awards, but has not yet won. This could be its moment.
Smaller publisher Night-wood Editions has also been nominated in the poetry category for Children of Air India. The book by Renée Sarojini Saklikar is a powerful and deeply personal collection that offers a fresh perspective on a heartbreaking chapter in Canadas history the bombing of Air India Flight 182.
Author Kathy Para of Gibsons was nominated in the fiction category for her award-winning novel Lucky, published by Mother Tongue Publishing of Salt Spring Island. Naturally, she's excited.
It's always hard to tell what judges will like, she said. It's an extremely competitive process.
Para pointed out that all the fiction finalist books were written by women, among them Journey Prize winner Cynthia Flood. But non-fiction sells better.
People enjoy a sense of place and politics, Para said. That's why I tried to make Lucky more edgy, more like a newscast.
Set in the war-torn Middle East, the book describes the post-traumatic story of a risk-taking photojournalist.
Arno Kopecky's Oil Man and the Sea and Arthur Erickson are both finalists for the Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize, awarded to the author of the best original work of literary non-fiction. Kopecky describes a sailing trip along the Northern Gateway tanker route. He meditates on the line between impartial reportage and environmental activism, ultimately arguing that there are some places oil tankers should never go.
Three books from both Harbour and Douglas & McIntyre are finalists for the Bill Duthie Booksellers Choice Award: Grant Lawrences The Lonely End of the Rink, Paula Wilds The Cougar (reviewed in Coast Reporter in December) and Roy Henry Vickers and Robert Budds Raven Brings the Light. This awardis given to the book that is the most successful in terms of public appeal, initiative, design, production and content. The prize is shared by the publishers and the authors.
Russell Thorntons Birds, Metals, Stones and Rain,published by Harbour, is a book of verse that explores powerful, primary human relationships through images of two worlds: the natural and the urban industrial.
Thornton is just coming into his prime, White noted. The book was short-listed for a Governor General's Award in 2013.
We labour away up here in the bush in Pender Harbour, White said. It's nice to get some recognition.
The winners of the BC Book Prizes will be announced at an awards ceremony in Vancouver May 3. See: www.bcbookprizes.ca for details.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Tomato paste is a thick paste that is made by cooking tomatoes for several hours to reduce moisture, straining them to remove the seeds and skin, and cooking them again to reduce them to a thick, rich concentrate.[1]
In contrast, tomato purée is a liquid with a consistency between crushed tomatoes and tomato paste, and consists of tomatoes that have been boiled briefly and strained,[2]
It was traditionally made in parts of Sicily, southern Italy and Malta by spreading out a much-reduced tomato sauce on wooden boards.[3] The boards are set outdoors under the hot August sun to dry the paste until it is thick enough, when scraped up, to hold together in a richly colored, dark ball. Today, this artisan product is harder to find than the industrial (much thinner) version.[4] Commercial production uses tomatoes with thick pericarp walls and lower overall moisture,[5] these are very different from the tomatoes you will find in a supermarket.
In the UK, paste is referred to as purée or concentrate.
In the USA, tomato paste is concentrated tomato solids (no seeds or skin), sometimes with added high fructose corn syrup, and with a standard of identity (see 21 CFR 155.191).[6] Tomato purée has a lower solids requirement.
Depending on its manufacturing conditions, tomato paste can be the basis for making ketchup or reconstituted tomato juice.

Reviewers: Komal Arora, M.D., (see Reviewers page)
Revised: 26 March 2012, last major update February 2012
Copyright: (c) 2003-2012, PathologyOutlines.com, Inc.
● Diagnosed in ~5% of biopsies; due to enlarged nucleoli (100%), enlarged nuclei (83%); intraluminal eosinophilic secretions (74%); infiltrative growth (68%); small acinar proliferation (68%); intraluminal basophilic mucin (42%); amphophilic cytoplasm (33%); high-grade PIN (31%); crystalloids (22%)
● Diagnosis of malignancy not made due to small size of the focus, small number of cells with enlarged nucleoli, clustered growth pattern, presence of high-grade PIN within many foci
● 60% with additional sampling had adenocarcinoma, suggesting need for additional biopsies (Am J Surg Pathol 1997;21:1489, J Urol 2001;166:866, BJU Int 2007;99:49)
● Be particularly cautious if small atypical glands plus a few neutrophils
● Following an atypical diagnosis, the routine recommendation (regardless of the PSA) is to sample 3 cores from the site of the initial atypical sextant site, 2 cores from the adjacent atypical sextant sites; and 1 core from other sextant sites (Mod Pathol 2004;17:307)

TERRY BEYER:A Practical Voice for Springfield
in the State Capitol
Dear Neighbor,
The last two years have been difficult for all of
us. Uncertain economic times have been difficult on Oregons working families,
and Springfield is no exception. I know how hard everyone worked to support
their household budget, and I have worked hard to tighten the states budget
the same way your family tightens the belt every day.
Working with Governor Kulongoski, we have made great
strides in making state government more efficient and more accountable. We have
revamped the retirement system, reduced state payroll, removed unnecessary regulation,
eliminated wasteful spending, and even improved the efficiency of our state
vehicle fleet. And thats just the start. We have a new attitude in state
leadership to make government more accountable and leaner. I firmly believe
citizens deserve the very best bang for their tax dollar possible and I aim
to get it for you!
During the next legislative session, my focus will
- Ensuring that Oregons children get the education they
need and deserve to be successful. This means making education funding the
first budget priority and insisting on proven results from educators.
- Working with the Governor to rebuild Oregons economy,
while creating good jobs for our fellow citizens.
- Increasing access to health care for Oregons working families.
There is no greater honor than being chosen by
you as Springfield State Representative. I humbly thank you. With your continued
support I will continue to work hard to represent you in the State Legislature.
Please call on me at any time.

The shifting goalie trade market
November, 8, 2011
Craig Custance | ESPN Insider
Joel Auerbach/Getty ImagesJacob Markstrom's development could change the trade market for goalies.
It was the logical move. Veteran goalie Scott Clemmensen was back from knee surgery and the Panthers needed to find the roster space to activate him behind Jose Theodore. So talented rookie Jacob Markstrom had to go, sent to the Florida Panthers' AHL affiliate in San Antonio. Logical, but not easy."It's never easy," said Panthers GM Dale Tallon during a Monday evening phone conversation. "I think we were thinking we're going to be conservative and make sure what's best for him long-term. If he's going to be a No. 1, he's got to play No. 1 minutes."

I love this. It makes me laugh and smile and just generally feel good even though the words would tell me to do otherwise! It's sassy! Brilliant red, which you know I like!
Wow, this has such beautiful colors and lines. I love the precision of the bird - it feels like a cross between an Audubon painting and a poster for a noir film. The only thing that makes me sad is that I'm seeing it for the first time now - and not in my feed :(
Thank you so much, people! It's been quite an experiment! :)
Heather, no worries, my dear! (Hope everything is ok with you!)

MEDFORD, Ore. — As Cover Oregon works out its website kinks, local hospitals say the fear of the unknown has many patients lining up for surgery.
Doctors at the Total Joint Replacement Center at Providence Medical Center say they're seeing a much higher demand than normal.
Right now is generally a busy time of year for orthopedic surgery, but many patients indicate their big concern is that they won't be able to get those procedures covered when the changes come into effect.
"In general there just needs to be some more clarity. You know, more education for the patients definitely, as well as the healthcare providers," said Sheridan Pyeatt at Providence Medical Center.
Doctors say Cover Oregon should actually increase access to insurance, but high demand could mean longer waits once the law comes into effect.

Mississippi Comeback Sauce: The Perfect Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
Macaroni And Cheese Recipe
The Perfect Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Recipe
Macaroni and Cheese The Way It Should Be
By Kevin McClain
In creating The Perfect Homemade Macaroni and Cheese Recipe, I was motivated because many families find that they cannot turn down one of our beloved side dishes, macaroni and cheese. It has been a staple to many an entree in American cuisine. It has no regional boundaries although some regional chefs tend to want to
add something which in their mind, adds pizazz to the traditional dish. Both adults and kids alike love macaroni and cheese, but disappointingly, they think that the five minute boxed version, with its powdered cheese, is what it's all about. I am about to begin a journey of ridding America of the corruption of one of our beloved side dishes, macaroni and cheese and rejuvenate it back to its pure and simple preparation, as it was meant to be. After reading this article you will discover how to prepare the perfect macaroni and cheese. This I promise you.
There are many recipes out there for macaroni and cheese but there are only 2 distinct styles of preparation that are used widely. one of the more common recipes is one where the macaroni is smothered with a bechamel style sauce flavored with cheese and then my Grandmother's favorite, the custard style version. This version consists of a mixture of eggs and milk that is poured over macaroni noodles and cheese and baked to set into a custard. Some cooks like to top the macaroni and cheese with some type of crispiness such as bread crumbs or crushed saltine crackers, but in the South we prefer the smooth or custard-like version without any toppings except cheese bubbling over the finished dish. I have prepared enough macaroni and cheese in my lifetime to fill enough 55 gallon drums from Mississippi to the Florida Keys. So, I am picky about whose macaroni and cheese I eat because most of the time it is a tired and uninspiring slosh of a dish that people throw together just because of its popularity. I say to you America, stop that right now!!! Once you get this recipe, you will realize how simple it is to make a perfect macaroni and cheese whether it be stove top or baked.
There is a book by John Thorne called "Simple Cooking" that devotes a whole chapter to our favorite dish. He wrote, and I quote, "As it happens, I'm very fond of macaroni and cheese, and keep a special spot in my heart for cooks who genuinely love it: they are not that many." I was inspired after reading those four pages and decided to share this knowledge with all who cared enough to want to prepare the best macaroni and cheese possible.
Start Of A Great Recipe
Mr. Thorne's recipe starts by cooking the macaroni just a bit under al-dente.(Remember, you will be baking this off in the oven so the macaroni will continue cooking.) The hot and drained macaroni is then tossed in a heatproof bowl with butter. Oh, and by the way, always remember, the better quality the ingredients, the better tasting the dish. some evaporated milk, hot red pepper sauce, dry mustard, eggs and a lot of cheese is stirred into the macaroni noodles. the macaroni and cheese is then baked for 20 minutes with additional milk and cheese put in every 5 minutes as you stir the mixture. the purpose for this is to let the eggs set, which creates an amazing smooth sauce. Isn't that what you want? as the dish is cooking and you are stirring it, the inner tubes of the macaroni are being filled with that smooth sauce, giving you a burst of this sauce in each and every bite. How delightful I was when I followed Mr. Thorne's recipe. Someone had gotten the dish right. This dish was the real thing and I was one of the owners of this recipe. I quickly studied it so that I could memorize and burn it into my brain cells.
I decided to confirm my discovery by making 2 dishes of macaroni and cheese that many people make. The bechamel style and the custard style. First, the bechamel style dish was a bit grainy, heavy and tasted like "macaroni with a cheese sauce", not the light and silky dish Mr. Thorne had introduced me to.
Being that the custard based macaroni and cheese recipe was a simpler version of Mr. Thorne's recipe, I thought by omitting the stirring, I could skip a step and have a dish just as good. I was wrong. compared to Mr. Thorne's authentic smooth and creamy recipe, the custard style dish turned out to be a dry cheese custard surrounded by macaroni.
Testing The Recipes
After ruling out the competitive recipes I now had to experiment some more to answer some questions such as was evaporated milk really as good as whole milk or half and half? Was cheddar cheese the only cheese that made this dish exceptional. Although the recipe was as close to perfect as I had ever known I wanted to see if a few refinements could elevate it to untouchable status. I realized that after 20 minutes the dish may have been hot but it wasn't piping hot like I wanted my macaroni and cheese to be. By the time my guests had finished a serving, the cheese sauce had cooled a little and began to set. Mr. Thorne's advice to sprinkle the macaroni and cheese with crumbled crackers was one possibility as it offered insulation, Yes folks, insulation. But I wanted something more. I did enjoy the rich cheese flavor Mr. Thorne's recipe achieves with a whole pound of cheddar cheese, but I was stuffed after a few bites. I needed to know if the dish was just as flavorful with a little less cheese.
I tested the recipe with a variety of milks such as low-fat, half and half and whole. The evaporated milk won hands down. all the other milks used to make macaroni and cheese seemed to curdle a bit and gave the dish a grainy and chalky texture. The dish made with evaporated milk was consistently smooth because the evaporation and sterilization process stabilizes the evaporated milk. Turning to cheeses I used New York, Wisconsin and Vermont cheddars. I'm an American, damn it. Being that this recipe calls for a large amount of cheddar cheese, I decided to tone it down with a less sharp cheese, say the Wisconsin variety. I did try some other cheeses to see what those restuarants were trying to do with macaroni and cheese. I tried Gruyere which was so strong I couldn't finish it. The mildness of Monterey Jack showed me to be a great alternative to so much sharp cheddar(although the sharp cheddar gives the dish an old school taste) and to my surprise, those processed cheeses like Velveeta and American made for a creamier dish with more dimension. I came to this fact: To get flavor, use cheddar. To get texture, use American. It's a marriage made in food heaven an like eagles, they must mate for life to ensure the integrity of the dish.
The Perfect Warmth
In order for me to solve the dish's lukewarm serving temperature I decided to not pour the hot macaroni and cheese dish into a cold pan. I instead preheated the pan in the oven so that by the time I was ready to drain the noodles and add them to the pan with butter, the pan was hot enough to need a pot holder. I also warmed the milk some before mixing it with the pasta so I could get a head start on the baking process. Please don't try to make the dish hotter by leaving it in the oven for over 20 minutes as you will risk curdling the eggs and the dish will be grainy. Remember, your goal here is silky smooth macaroni and cheese, right? Mr. Thorne had suggested using crumbled crackers over the macaroni and cheese dish to foil the rich, unctuous sauce. I decided to toast some buttered stale French bread crumbs and put them on
top for those who like the contrasting textures on the macaroni and cheese.
I also decided to try the recipe stove-top and discovered it to be just as good if you use a heavy-bottomed pot and cooked over medium heat. For those of you who have to add toasted buttered bread crumbs, you can still do this and make the dish just about a fast as you can
the boxed, processed version,except that you're making the real thing. You are now officially a food purist in my eyes and I love you for it.
So now for a couple of dollars more, you have the difference between that institutionalized, over processed, fake macaroni and cheese dish and the real, silky smooth dish that it was meant to be. So now, "without further to do" as Al Pacino said in one of my favorite movies, "Carlito's Way" I give you the recipe, given to me by Pam Anderson in her book "The Perfect Recipe" Getting It Right Every Time. I do love this book and recommend you adding it to your cooking library.

In Crisis, NYT Co. Bleeds Globe Union Members

If you've ever wondered why the New York Times' labor coverage is just so bad, a lot can be learned by looking at the company's treatment of its own workers. Newspaper Guild president Dan Totten has published an open letter (6/3/09) about how the Boston Globe-owning Times has chosen to "behave in a highly challenging situation" and what his union has "learned about New York Times Company management–and its unwillingness to share the pain of overcoming this crisis": Guild members haven't seen a pay raise in four years. And they are well prepared to take a pay cut to help […]

Staff and students at Coleg Llandrillo's campuses extended a warm welcome to members of the public who joined them in not only celebrating Welsh Week, but raising much-needed funds for two local charities. The week was planned to coincide with the celebration of St. David's Day.
The campuses were awash with colour, particularly red rugby shirts, after staff and students were encouraged to wear red on St David's Day, for a small donation. A PowerPoint presentation detailing the history of St David was displayed across all campuses, and was accompanied by a Welsh quiz with prizes. There were a wide range of Welsh crafts, cakes and gifts available for purchase.
The College's Destinations Bistro offered a special Welsh-themed menu and there was a raffle for a signed Ospreys' rugby shirt. There was also a Saint David's Word Search available for learners of the Welsh language, whatever their level. Beauty Therapy students offered a nail-painting service in their salons, and in the College's main reception, for a donation.
Hospitality students working in the College's Destinations Restaurant prepared a St. David's Day themed menu during Welsh Week. The menu included triawd o gawl (pys, pannas a thomato)/a trio of soup (pea, parsnip and tomato), prif grws (Sianc o gig oen, wedi'i weini â thatws stwnsh a grefi mintys)/ main (lamb shanks, served with mash potatoes and mint gravy)/pryd arbennig (eog Conwy o'r Gridyll, wedi'i weini â llysiau a thatws tymhorol)/ Special (grilled Conwy aalmon, served with seasonal vegetables and potatoes) and pwdin (pwdin bara brith a menyn, wedi'i weini â hufen/dessert (bara brith bread and butter pudding, served with cream).
All proceeds raised will be shared between the College's chosen charity Ty Gobaith and the aptly named St David's Hospice in Llandudno.

On (Loving) Pit Bulls
July 17, 2014 § Leave a comment
Yesterday Tom Junod at Esquire published a long, thoughtful, and at moments utterly heartbreaking article about pit bulls in America. As he explains, pit bulls –a category that includes pit bull mixes– are ubiquitous nationwide, not just in the inner cities but also, increasingly, in suburban areas. One would think that this would translate to greater acceptance of the breed (or perhaps more accurately, the classification, as pit bulls aren't really a breed as much as a mix of common traits), but nope, not so much. As he writes:
We might accept pit bulls personally, but America still doesn't accept them institutionally, where it counts; indeed, apartment complexes and insurance companies are arrayed in force against them. And so are we: For although we adopt them by the thousands, we abandon them by the millions. The ever-expanding population of dogs considered pit bulls feeds an ever-expanding population of dogs condemned as pit bulls, and we resolve this rising demographic pressure in the way to which we've become accustomed: in secret, and in staggering numbers. We have always counted on our dogs to tell us who we are. But what pit bulls tell us is that who we think we are is increasingly at odds with what we've turned out to be.
3 Birthdays in 1, Plus Teaching News

Chris turns 30 today, and tomorrow I turn 31; today is essentially our joint 30th, after which point I once again become the scoreboard leader in years accrued. It's also Nathan's estimated birthday, so although we might be + or – a week or so, we're treating today like the Triple Crown of Phillips-Menning spawnage. I've never really been much of a birthday celebration person, so it's not like we're doing summersaults and smashing our faces into rainbow cupcakes, but I am very much enjoying the prospect of my 31st year — not only will the book be out of my hair very very soon (not soon enough, obviously, but that's been true for the last six years), but beginning in the Fall term I'll be a full time Lecturer in Humboldt State's Communication Department. The ultimate, long-term goal is to secure a Tenure Track position at HSU in Comm or English or elsewhere, and I'll get there eventually — but one does not simply hail mary to one's favorite university and immediately get the big prize. These things take time and patience and various intermediary steps, and I've been doing just fine with that, thanks.
And so, onwards! It's a beautiful day, and I'm an excellent age. I think I'll go buy myself a Japanese teacup & then watch some X-Files. Perfection!
Here's the thing about my dog.

A Dog for a Son?!
March 1, 2014 § 2 Comments
Chris has been teaching himself different Photoshop tricks and treatments, and yesterday decided to tackle the "vintage poster" look. Here, for no reason other than I like it, is his first attempt, featuring an image of Nathan tucked into bed, because yes we tuck him into bed, and yes he sleeps on a pillow (see below).
Here's another pic, because you can never have too much Nathan.
All I can say is YAS, and happy weekend!
The Land of Fruit and Dog Parks
May 21, 2013 § 1 Comment
In New York, Chris and I would take Nathan to the (from our perspective at the time) mostly adequate dog park in Carl Schurz park. The dog run was about 600 square feet, and depending on the time of day would be packed with anywhere from 8 to 15 large and often aggressive dogs. That wasn't fun for anyone, least of all Nathan — we'd go through phases where we'd take him a few times, have a bad experience with one of the other dogs and/or owners, then swear off dog parks for good. Eventually we'd worry that Nathan wasn't getting enough exercise, and the cycle would begin anew. Here in Spokane we won't have the same kinds of issues; see above, which is nearly 9 minutes of SpokAnimal dog park goodness, shot by doting dogdad Chris. In conclusion, by every metric, I do not understand why anyone would want to live in a big city.

SAN ANGELO COLTS: Late rally helps Colts edge Aces
SAN ANGELO, Texas - One of the biggest crowds of the season at Foster Field got to see the San Angelo Colts pull out a 3-2 come-from-behind win over the Alexandria Aces on Saturday night thanks in large part to starting pitcher Corey Frerichs and designated hitter Kyle Nichols.
Frerichs, who was making his third start of the season and just his fourth as a pro, gave up six hits and two runs in six innings to improve to 2-1 on the year. He finished with seven strikeouts and walked just two.
Nichols, the elder statesman of the Colts at 35 years old, had a pair of doubles and went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, raising his average to .292. He leads the league with 28 RBIs.
Colts manager Doc Edwards said it was a masterful performance on the mound by his young starter Frerichs.
"It was tremendous and he's going to get even better because he ran out of gas there — it's because he's been a relief pitcher for so long now," Edwards said. "Now that we're going to make a starter out of him, he needs more time to build up."
Edwards was also pleased with Nichols' showing at the plate.
"You put him in the middle of the lineup and he means a lot to this ball club," the Colts skipper said.
Aces starter Mike Loseke, who came in with a 1-1 record and a miniscule 1.13 ERA, allowed nine hits and three runs in seven innings to take the loss. He also struck out seven and issued just one walk.
San Angelo closer Alfredo Caballero came on in the top of the ninth to record the save.
The Colts got back to .500 at 11-11 on the year, while the Aces dropped to 11-11.
Alexandria began the night in third place, two games behind Fort Worth, before San Angelo jumped ahead of the Aces in the United League standings.
With the Aces leading 2-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth, Nichols had a standup RBI double to right field to score Steve Rinaudo and pull the Colts even at 2-2.
Two batters later, a sacrifice fly to left field by catcher Chris Caves plated Nichols and gave the Colts their first lead at 3-2.
The Aces took a 1-0 advantage in the top of the first on an RBI double to left field by first baseman Nick Mahin that scored Zach Cadet, who led off the game with a triple to right-center.
San Angelo answered in the bottom of the first after second baseman Jon Dziomba got on base thanks to an error by Aces right fielder Austin Newell.
With two outs, Nichols came through in the clutch again for the Colts by driving in Dziomba with an RBI double off the left-field wall to make it 1-1.
Alexandria second baseman Eddie Murray, not to be confused with the retired former major leaguer with the same name, singled to short center field in the top of the third with one out.
After Murray stole second, he scored on an error by Rinaudo, who would make two in the inning. That gave the Aces a a 2-1 lead before the Colts answered with two runs in the bottom of the sixth.
The series continues today at 6:05 p.m. at Foster Field and the four-game matchup will conclude on Monday night.
