Long before anybody (besides their parents) was paying attention to Chicago's Emanuel brothers, the city could boast of lots of other siblings who made good — or, at least, made headlines.
Chicago can claim brothers of wide-ranging accomplishments and notoriety, starting with the Daley boys — Rich, Mike, John and Bill. And the Jacksons — former congressman Jesse Jr. (he of the $43,350 Rolex), Jonathan and Yusef.
Comedians John and Jim Belushi were proud Chicagoans. And billionaire brothers J. Christopher and M. Jude Reyes run the global food and beer distributor Reyes Holdings, headquartered near O'Hare. Bobby and Dennis Hull — OK, they're Canadians — played eight seasons together for the Blackhawks.
This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row.
I point this out now because of the new book, "Brothers Emanuel: A Memoir of an American Family." The book is written by noted bioethicist and oncologist Zeke Emanuel, the elder brother of Hollywood talent super agent Ari and Chicago mayor Rahm. The book tells the story of the Emanuel family as it intertwines the lives of the three competitive overachievers who've maintained an enduring bond — which, as author and brothers expert George Howe Colt suggests, could be because each established his own niche.
In fact, there's been enough brotherly love (and discord) in Chicago to fill many more volumes:
In the music world, brothers Leonard and Phil Chess in 1950 founded Chicago's Chess Records, probably the greatest blues label ever. And Fred Holstein and younger brother Ed were key players in the folk music revival here in the '70s.
Most recently, Chicago pawn-broker brothers Wayne and Randy Cohen join the list of Chicago Brothers in the Spotlight. They're the stars of 2013 truTV's "Hardcore Pawn: Chicago," filmed at their Royal Pawn Shop, 428 S. Clark St.
Brothers in crime
But for sheer moxie and mayhem, the infamous Panczko brothers have to be at the top of any Chicago brothers list. Longtime Chicagoans will remember — from the '40s into the '90s — the exploits of Pops Panczko and his little brother, Peanuts, the city's most renowned burglars. Growing up in a big Northwest Side Polish family, Pops (real name Joseph) craved attention and he got it — by stealing and, often, getting caught.
Pops' and Peanuts' preferred crime was looting the cars of jewel salesmen. But any heist would do. A third criminal Panczko brother, Butch (Edward), was pinched for stealing a cement mixer truck and driving it down the Edens Expressway. His criminal high jinks aren't as well known as those of his brothers Pops and Peanuts, perhaps because of Butch's more conventional nickname.
As for garrulous Pops — he'd call reporters from prison just to chat — he cheerfully gave his profession as "thief," which he pronounced "teef." His pronouncements and felonious attainments frequently were chronicled by columnist Mike Royko, who grew up in the same neighborhood as the Panczkos.
On a slow day, Royko wrote in the Chicago Tribune, Pops snagged a crate of cabbage off a vegetable truck. When Royko asked him later what the plan for the cabbage was, he said, "I dunno. Maybe make some coleslaw."
Tribune reporters Edward Baumann and John O'Brien wrote a book about the legendary brothers (who rarely worked together) — titled "Polish Robbin' Hoods."
And Pops was so proud of being chronicled that he scheduled a book-signing in the suburbs — followed by a demonstration of his rare lock-picking talent.
Pops was arrested more than 200 times, and when he was paroled from prison, it often made news. He died at 85 in 2002. Butch died decades earlier of cancer.
And after two dozen plus years in the slammer (off and on), Peanuts (Paul) turned government witness, hoping for a get-out-of-jail early release to marry his fourth wife and purported true love, Doris "Dolly" Fischer, a convicted madam.
Peanuts turned government witness in a South Bend jewel heist case and snitched on his own brother, Pops.
You won't be surprised to learn that this had a chilling effect on their fraternal affection. In the '80s, Peanuts and Dolly entered the federal witness-protection program.

Mr. Ibrahim Mabrouk of Arab Contractors explains the Housing Units Concept to Pres. Sirleaf, assisted by Mr. Armando Champion
A delegation representing the Government of Equatorial Guinea has presented a blueprint for the construction of low cost housing units here. The delegation was in Monrovia to present to the Liberian Government the concept for the construction of social housing units on Thursday, as part of a Memorandum of Understanding signed between the two governments in May last year.
At the request of the Liberian Government, Equatorial Guinea agreed to arrange the financing and construction of the Roberts International Airport and of social housing.
At a presentation, by the delegation, of the project concept, the Liberian President said she was impressed with the progress made so far, and was pleased with her decision to enter into an agreement with Equatorial Guinea, and describing it as an example for African countries to follow where one African country will fund such a huge project in another sisterly country.
President Sirleaf was speaking in response to a message of commitment to the project from President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, delivered by his Special Advisor on Ceremonial Issues Mr. Armando Dougan Champion.
Oh behalf of his President, Mr. Champion said Equatorial Guinea was pleased and committed to the construction of the Roberts International Airport and the social housing units. On the airport, he said the architectural designs were still ongoing, and promised to inform Monrovia as soon as they are finalized.
The housing units project is well on course, Mr. Champion said, and construction would begin following the finalization of the formalities. Displaying the concept of the units, he listed such facilities as a police station, primary and secondary schools, a church, a car park, a shopping mall and a two-storey hospital which he said would be named in President Sirleaf's honor.
Mr. Champion promised to convey to his President the high level of cooperation and eagerness from the Government and people of Liberia in getting the projects started. The delegation was expected to make a detailed concept presentation on Friday, January 10, before officials of the Ministry of Public Works and the National Housing Authority.
Accompanying Mr. Champion was Mr. Ibrahim Mabrouk, Managing Director of Arab Contractors, who disclosed that the company was ready to jump-start the project in terms of manpower and equipment, and was awaiting a signal from the two governments. He said his company had begun identifying a suitable site for the construction using satellite pictures, and would share that information as soon as the search was completed.
The delegation is in town until Sunday, and will hold another round of discussions with President Sirleaf Saturday evening, after she returns from the ECOWAS Summit in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and his Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) have proposed constitutional changes and legislation that would for the first time since 1938 allow foreign companies to explore for and produce oil in Mexico. While this is not the full-scale privatization of the oil industry desired by conservative business interests in Mexico and by U.S. and other foreign oil companies, it is a big step toward opening up the industry in a country where the government's ownership of the oil has been virtually sacrosanct. Even with these dramatic changes, the state-owned Mexican Petroleum Company (PEMEX) will, at least in theory, remain the dominant force in the Mexican oil industry. The oil industry proposal is also linked to opening up the electric power industry, and legislation on that will also be forthcoming from the president.
The president, the PRI, and other parties argue that permitting private and foreign investment is necessary in order to fund the industry's modernization. At the same time, Exxon, Chevron, and Royal Dutch Shell have expressed their interest in participating in the Mexican oil business. For some this will be a return to the oil fields that they once controlled 65 years ago, before Mexico nationalized the industry. One could say that the greatest achievement of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1940 is being reversed as profits from the country's most precious resource will again flow into the coffers of U.S. corporations.
A Clever Strategyon a roll. Even before becoming president, he succeeded in getting the major opposition parties to join his own in the "Pact for Mexico," a political compact based principally on a series of political and economic reforms which he then moved ahead to pass. Since being elected president he has succeeded in passing a Labor Law Reform bill, an Education Reform bill, and then a highly contested Telecommunications Reform Bill. He jailed on charges of embezzlement the controversial labor and political leader Elba Esther Gordillo, the head of the Mexican Teachers Union (el SNTE). He has also proposed to give pensions to all Mexican workers over 65 years of age, though that has yet to become a bill. These reforms and proposed reforms have been popular with large sections of the Mexican elite and middle class as well as with much of public at large, giving his administration tremendous momentum at this time.
Second, the left opposition to privatization has suffered a series of defeats. The principal party with a nationalist economic program, the PRD, has seen its candidates Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas and López Obrador go down to repeated defeats in national elections several times (though two of those defeats, one for Cárdenas in 1988 and one for López Obrador in 2006, may have been the result of fraud). The nationalist economic program has been rejected overwhelmingly by the voters.
At the same time, the anti-privatization movement has suffered a defeat. The Mexican Electrical Workers Union (SME) that headed up the National Front against Privatization was virtually destroyed by former President Felipe Calderón of the PAN when he used police and army troops to occupy the Mexican Electrical Company facilities, liquidated the company and fired 44,000 workers in 2009. With the SME preoccupied with fighting for the jobs of the 16,000 members who did not accept their severance, the front has been dormant. Calderón also persecuted Napoleón Gómez Urrutia, head of the Mexican Miners and Metal Workers Union (SNTMMRM), forcing him into exile in Canada while working with Grupo Mexico mine company to destroy the important union local at the Cananea Copper mine, thus keeping that union too preoccupied with defending itself and making it less likely to take up the privatization issue.
Back to the FutureThe Mexican Revolution of 1910 to 1940 was fought principally over the demand of the peasants for land taken from them over time by the great haciendas, but it was also a nationalist revolution against foreign ownership of the country's resources and industries. In 1917, the Constitutionalist forces led by Venustiano Carranza called a convention at which the Constitution was rewritten. Article 27 of the new Constitution of 1917 stated that the nation owned the natural resources and held the power to expropriate them, though it required indemnification of the former private owners. President Plutarco Elías Calles ordered the foreign companies to register their properties and limited their concessions to 50 years, but under constant threat of invasion by the United States throughout the 1920s, Mexican leaders hesitated to act on their legal right to nationalize until 1938.
President Lázaro Cárdenas (1934-1940), taking advantage of the European War, finally acted to nationalize the oil industry on March 18, 1938, paying the foreign corporations on the basis of the low estimates of value they had earlier presented to justify their low tax payments. While Soviet Russia had earlier nationalized the Baku oilfields in 1918, Mexico's was the first major Latin American nationalization of oil, followed later by Argentina in 1949, Brazil in 1953, and Venezuela in 1976. (Argentina had actually fisrt nationalized its oil fields and created a state oil company in the period of 1918-1922, but at that time its oil industry was not very significant.) )
The Power of PEMEXcorrupt corporation has been such a source of embezzlement by politicians, government officials, labor union leaders, and organized crime. PEMEX collects dues for the corrupt and authoritarian Mexican Petroleum Workers Union (STPRM), lets contracts to the union, and makes other payments. Many union officials are involved as individuals in business deals with the company or its officials. Union officials sell union jobs to workers who also become beholden to the officials who hired them.
The most famous recent case of PEMEX and STPRM corruption was Pemexgate, when the PRI illegally ordered the STPRM to support the presidential campaign of Francisco Labastida in 2000. Those accused were not found guilty of the most serious charges, though some were found guilty of electoral fraud; the PRI was fined US$90 million for its role. Company and union officials also work with criminal organizations that siphon petroleum out of the pipelines. How many hundreds of millions of dollars flow out of the oil fields and into the pockets of parasites all along the line may never be known, but the sums must be astronomical.
Peña Nieto's constitutional and legislative changes opening up Mexico's oil industry to private and foreign investors will not solve the economic problems of the majority of Mexicans, but it will create an opportunity for a lot of business people in Mexico and in America of make money. As we wrote at the opening of this article, in a sense, the Mexican Revolution's most historic achievement is being undone. The oil may still formally belong to all of Mexico, but its wealth will accumulate in a few hands there and in the U.S.

BOERNE, Texas, Feb. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Full-size crossover SUVs like the 2014 Chevy Traverse in San Antonio, TX will always have a place with families that aren't quite ready to pull the pin on getting a minivan. The new Chevy Traverse has seating capacity on par with many minivans. Additionally, the interior of the Traverse can be easily manipulated to be able to haul a large amount of cargo, if that is what the situation calls for. Chevy's reputation for performance, reliability and safety is well represented in a model like the 2014 Chevy Traverse. The safety portion of that equation is enhanced with a pair of new systems that are meant to prevent accidents from happening in the first place.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140228/MN74512)
When it comes to powering the 2014 Chevy Traverse, General Motors and GM engineers did not compromise and did not cut corners. They went with a powertrain that balances power and fuel-economy in a very economical matter that makes ownership of the new Traverse as affordable as possible. The new SUV is outfitted with a 3.6-liter, V-6 engine that can make 281 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque. The LTZ trim will be bumped up a little more on the horsepower measurement thanks to an enhanced sport-exhaust system.
The first of the new safety features in the new 2014 Traverse is called Lane Departure warning. This system uses a series of sensors around the vehicle that will detect when a driver is drifting from their lane. When that situation occurs, an audible signal is sent to the drive to take corrective measures. The other system is called forward collision warning. This uses a system to measure the distance from front of the 2014 Traverse to the traffic ahead and if the computer feels a collision is likely, it will warn the driver to stop. If the warning is missed, the system can pre load the brakes for maximum stopping power.
The entire Cavender Chevrolet inventory can be viewed at www.cavenderchevrolet.com. The showroom is located at 30700 IH-10 West, Boerne, TX, 78006. Anyone interested in scheduling a test drive of the 2014 Chevy Traverse or would like more information about the vehicle should call, 866-718-0391. Cavender Chevrolet is also home to the Strait Deal.

Police arrest Occupy Wall Street protesters in NY
NEW YORK (AFP) - Police in New York on Monday arrested at least a dozen demonstrators marking the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street movement, witnesses said.
At least eight people were taken into custody when they tried to block an entrance to Wall Street, representatives of the National Lawyers Guild at the scene, told AFP.
Others were arrested when they started moving from Zuccotti Park toward Wall Street as police on horseback blocked side streets on horseback, according to an AFP reporter at the scene.
Marchers then reappeared on Broadway in an attempt to disrupt the morning commute.

That's a dangerous bet to make, especially since all it takes is one case.

Presented by Ray Henwood
at Circa Two, Wellington
From 7 Dec 2012 to 22 Dec 2012
Reviewed by Maryanne Cathro, 8 Dec 2012
Dickens' Christmas story of Scrooge's redemption is almost as famous as the one about the baby, the virgin and the stable; indeed I suspect that more versions of it have been produced for stage and TV. And yet, while all of these adaptations may capture the story, I wonder how many of us have read the original novella, or heard it read?
Ray Henwood's solo performance has reminded me that the words, as written, are the best possible version. Every word spoken comes from the original text, presented as a mixture of enactment and story telling. It is a story meant to be heard, and it truly comes alive in this performance.
Henwood's voice has the satisfying depth and range of the perfect Christmas dinner, from turkey to plum pudding. Dickens' words are very much at home in his lilting cadences, brimming with humour and pathos.
Matching that richesse are equally rich production values: Gillie Coxhill's costumes, particularly the velvet waistcoat glowing like whisky in a cut crystal tumbler; Ulli Briese's lighting; Ross Jolly's sound design and Philip Markham's simple but evocative set. All of these wrap themselves around the story teller and become as one with the story itself. It is as satisfying an ensemble piece as a solo performance can ever be.
I am trying to avoid using the word 'dramatised' in describing this reading, as drama is also the opposite of comedy, and this is a very funny show. Many spontaneous belly laughs broke out on opening night. But to ensure no-one is left thinking that Henwood stands at a lectern and simply reads, he is enacting the words; moving through the space and story from counting room to bed, from past to future, inhabiting the characters in voice and body as they appear in the story.
I have in previous reviews called Circa Two my Happy Place, and this show adds to my happiness. It is enjoyable, uplifting, thought provoking and entertaining. It is a privilege to see such talent in such an intimate venue.
I would dearly love to look out upon the audience however and see more people under 40 appreciating an experience that would be just as entertaining for them as for the wise older heads who know where to find the 'good stuff' happening.

Buckeyes Get the Best of Hoosiers, 5-2
April 23, 2011
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Indiana fell at home on Saturday afternoon to No. 62 Ohio State, 5-2. Leslie Hureau and Evgeniya Vertesheva picked up victories playing at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, for the Hoosiers, but the Buckeyes controlled the rest of the match.
The day began with OSU sweeping all three doubles matches to jump out to a 1-0 lead and setting the tone for the rest of the day.
No. 115 Vertesheva continued her recent stellar play with a dominant win over Ohio State's Kelsey Haviland, 6-3, 6-0, in the No. 2 match. That makes it five-straight wins in Big Ten play for Vertesheva and improves her conference record to 7-2 on the season.
No. 62 Hureau picked up Indiana's second point of the afternoon with a 6-3, 6-2, straight set win at No. 1. IU's Kayla Fujimoto also played well as she went the distance in the No. 5 match before falling just short to OSU's Fidan Manashirova, 7-6, 4-6, 6-4.
The Hoosiers will wrap up the regular season on Sunday as they host Penn State at the IU Tennis Complex in Bloomington. The match will begin at 11 a.m. ET and following the match, seniors Charlotte Martin, Myriam Sopel and Katya Zapadalova will be honored as they play in their final home match as IU student-athletes.

Recently I caught up with weight loss expert, Manuel Villacorta. Manuel is a registered dietitian and a certified specialist in sports dietetics. I met Manuel several years ago in San Francisco at a dietitian-related function. Not only is Manual a cool guy but he is very passionate about helping people lose weight and keep it off. His approach to weight loss is science-based but also simple and practical. Here he talks about growing up in Peru and his latest book, "Eating Free"…
Q: Tell me a little bit about growing up in Peru and how the diet in there differs from the diet here in the US.
A: While growing up in Peru my relationship with food was much different than when I moved to the US. In Peru daily life revolved around meals, which were eaten hot and with family and friends. Cooking smells filled our home and stimulated our appetite. Lunch was the largest meal of the day, and Sunday meals were made and enjoyed together.
When I moved to the US 25 years ago my diet changed, and I gained 25 pounds. I tried to adapt the American way of eating; resulting in protein bars, cold sandwiches, and processed foods. I quickly learned that eating was not seen as a priority in the American culture. I began skipping meals, eating standing up, and eating on the go. Also, many of the foods I grew up eating were "not allowed" or seen as "forbidden" in the US. It wasn't until I returned to my native eating habits that I lost the weight. Planning, cooking, and preparing my meals were key elements of my weight loss. Returning to the foods I grew up with also helped. Once I brought potatoes and rice back into my diet I was much healthier and happier. My favorite Peruvian dish is "seco" or cilantro beef stew. I grew up eating many casseroles and stews, and every time I have them I am reminded of my childhood. I still make "seco" at least two times a month.
Q: From your experience, what would you say are the top reasons why dieters don't lose weight?
A: People are not prioritizing themselves and there is a great lack of practicing self-care. Self-care to me is time that people need to take to prioritize their food shopping, meal planning, eating time, and record keeping. Many people focus solely on exercise, but there is more to it. In addition to self-care people need to work on reducing stress and getting enough sleep.
Q: Can you explain what ghrelin is and what that has to do with weight loss?
A: Our bodies secrete a hormone called ghrelin, which controls our hunger and drives our appetite. We can forget about losing weight if we do not understand, monitor and control our ghrelin. Ghrelin communicates with our brain, and influences what, when, and how we eat. If ghrelin is out of control eating will be out of control.
Many factors, which are often overlooked in diets, influence ghrelin. The act of weight loss itself increases ghrelin levels. So does lack of sleep and exercise in women.
Q: How is "Eating Free" different from other diet books?
A: Eating Free focuses on eating more, not less, taking time for you to plan and prepare your meals, and truly finding that work/life balance. Eating Free sheds light on a little-known hormone, ghrelin, which controls our hunger (the need to eat), drives our appetite (the desire to eat), and works to manage our metabolism and ability to burn fat only when it is fed, regularly and well. To keep ghrelin and its power to provoke cravings in check, I advocate eating–beginning with breakfast, within an hour after waking, and then every three to four hours.
Q: Are there certain factors to consider if you want to lose weight other than the obvious ones?
A: Eating Free calls attention to the role of sleep in weight loss. Based on studies, ghrelin (and appetite) increases when sleep is reduced to four or five hours a night, from the ideal six to eight hours. We know that weight loss is about a whole balance of factors, including our stress levels. Cortisol production, due to everyday stress, can be a huge barrier for weight loss. Stress is toxic to our well-being, so self-care isn't just a nice idea; it's essential to effective weight loss. Losing weight is not just about counting calories. Recent research shows us that there is a holistic component of self-care that involves every aspect of your wellbeing: physical, emotional, psychological—it all adds up to healthy eating for weight loss.

The National Wrestling Hall of Fame & Museum will host an All-Star Reunion in conjunction with the 42nd NWCA All-Star Classic presented by the United States Marine Corps at McArthur Court on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene on Nov. 19.
All former All-Stars and Distinguished Members are invited to join this year?s participants for a Reunion & Social at the Hilton Eugene following the 7 p.m. dual.
?We will mail invitations to those former All-Star participants for whom we can find an address,? said Lee Roy Smith, Executive Director of the NWHOF&M. ?These individuals are invited to attend a post match social we are hosting at the Hilton Eugene Hotel immediately following the dual.?
?Some of these participants are very likely to go on to distinguished college and post college careers and become future Hall of Fame inductees,? said Jim Keen, Sr. Chairman of the Board of Governors. ?It is particularly relevant this year for the Hall of Fame to support this event because of the decision to discontinue the wrestling program at the University of Oregon following the 2008 season. With a great fan turnout for this dual meet we hope to demonstrate the level of interest in the sport in the northwest and that university administrators should reconsider reinstating its wrestling program beyond the 2008 season. The northwest region of our country continues to produce a high level of grass root participation and college bound student-athletes.?
Smith said in addition to the alumni reunion, the NWHOF&M will release its third annual All-Star Trivia Challenge. The 25 question challenge was compiled by Hall of Fame and Museum historian Jay Hammond to ?test your knowledge? of the heritage of wrestling in Oregon and Washington.
The webpage for the Trivia Challenge is:
Winners of the Trivia Challenge will be announced during the dual meet at McArthur Court. Prizes for the winner(s) will include a copy of the 2007 NWCA All Star Classic program (autographed by participating wrestlers and coaches), a NWHOF lapel pin and hat, and a copy of the book The History of Collegiate Wrestling signed by the book?s author, Jay Hammond. Winners need not be present to win ?Wrestling historian Jay Hammond has put together a very challenging trivia questionnaire with an Oregon twist that will test anyone?s knowledge of the history of the sport in that state and region,? Smith said. ?Those who complete the most number of questions correctly will win.?

I have a few "famous" recipes. In no particular order, my Challah, Honey Chicken, Chulent, and Chicken Pastrami Rolls are all up there. These recipes have received a nice number of comments and video views but more importantly they generate lots of in person discussion. Meaning when I catch up with people on the street, or at a business meeting, or at a friend's shabbos table – these are the recipes I hear about over and over and over again.

Spiced Up Meatless Recipes *Giveaway*
60 comments | Leave Comment
This year Tisha B'av falls out on July 16th, 2013. During the 9 days leading up to the fast it is a custom to refrain from meat. A meatless menu for the 9 days can keep you busy with pizza (we have 100), pasta and potatoes. And if that's you're thing and you're OK with it then may I recommend my Peach and Arugula Pizza, My Light Fettuccine Alfredo, and my Colorful Mashed Potatoes featuring Gold's Healthy Horseradish and Wasabi Sauce. But if you'd like to try something different this year and spice up your meatless recipe repertoire then I have two new dishes just for you.

Watch Warm Potato Salad With Horseradish Sauce
I went to ETC Steakhouse in Teaneck NJ for my birthday a few years back after we featured Chef Seth, his restaurant and recipes in the pages of our magazine. Among other things I ordered a Warm Tarragon Potato Salad and could not get it out of my mind. Crispy taters tossed in creamy dressing have been dancing around in my head, my thoughts, my dreams for what seems like years. I took one look at the Gold's creamy Horseradish Sauce and instantly thought about recreating my Quick & Kosher version of this perfect summer BBQ recipe for you all. This dish is all kinds of crazy good… Watch this easy how-to-video and learn how to make my new obsession in less than 3 minutes.

Semi-Homemade with Gold's Barbecue Sauce
Contributed by: Melinda Strauss
7 comments | Leave Comment
When it comes to classic barbecue sauce, my go-to brand is Gold's "Really, Really Good" Barbecue Sauce! It has the perfect balance of sweetness and tang with a mixture of tomato puree, molasses, honey, vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder and natural smoke flavor. And to top it all off, the barbecue sauce is gluten free and fat free. My pantry is practically lined with Gold's Barbecue Sauce so I can use it at a moments notice. But even with the incredible richness and color of Gold's bottled sauce, I sometimes like to jazz it up with my own herbs and spices. So with that in mind, I've come up with a few recipes that will definitely take Gold's Barbecue Sauce to a whole new level!
Wasabi Flavored Recipes
Contributed by: Tamar Genger MA, RD
It's hard to believe that ten years ago most of us had never even heard of wasabi. Maybe we even piled it on our sushi before we knew what it was (guilty as charged). Now the hot green stuff, typically sold in powder or paste is a sushi staple. Wasabi has come a long way from a sushi condiment, and it's unique flavor can now be found in many foods, like soy nuts, potato chips and rice cakes.
Wasabi is Japanese horseradish. It is actually very difficult to get fresh wasabi here in the United States. Gold's, already well known for their prepared horseradish, has brought the convenience and flavor of wasabi in a sauce that we can use to top our sushi and flavor tons of other dishes. It does have some mayo mixed in, but a little goes a long way and you get the added benefit of including more horseradish in your diet, which if you have been paying attention is extremely healthy (click here for my article on the health benefits of horseradish).

When I write about Gold's I get uber nostalgic. Gold's Duck Sauce was perhaps my first kitchen lifesaver. My first proof (to no one other than myself) that YES, I got this! My first triumph with Hubby back seat cooking right by my side.
About a week into my marriage, as a recovering vegetarian, I found myself staring at this raw chicken, wondering if there is a way to cook it without touching it. Hubby came to my rescue sharing his all-time favorite chicken recipe. I called it bachelor food until I realized this "recipe" graced many a Shabbos table all over the world.

Health Benefits of Horseradish
Contributed by: Tamar Genger MA, RD
10 comments | Leave Comment
Horseradish is a spicy root vegetable with a surprising story. While it is a common condiment for gefilte fish, you might be surprised to discover that it does more than just clear our sinuses. Horseradish has been used for decades to treat a variety of ailments including flu symptoms, respiratory problems and urinary tract infections. However, it has recently been discovered that horseradish can help the body get rid of cancer causing chemicals.
The horseradish plant is a member of the Brassicacae family, a group of plants including cabbage and broccoli. All of the aforementioned edible plants are low in calories, high in fiber and high in glucosinolates, an anti-cancer ingredient. While broccoli is well known for its cancer prevention properties, horseradish has ten times more glucosinolates. Studies show that horseradish is one of the few medicinal vegetables where processing may actually improve the cancer fighting benefits. So now you have another great reason to reach for the Gold's horseradish in your refrigerator .
Hot Recipes With Wasabi Sauce
Contributed by: Seven Bites
Wasabi is a Japanese horseradish typically available as a dry powder we reconstitute to use as a topping for sushi. It's strong pungent flavor pairs perfectly in many recipes from vegetables to chicken to fish. Gold's, long famous for horseradish, uses their sharp vegetable to make flavorful sauce with just the right bite. We have prepared a tasty Pan Seared Salmon basted with Gold's wasabi sauce that everyone will love as well as Hot & Spicy Wings covered in this liquid green gold.
I always look for a way to change the standard Shabbat menu without taking away from the classic elements of a fish, soup, and chicken. I find that gefilte fish isn't always a crowd pleaser, yet a fresh piece of salmon tends to have adults and children asking for more. After continuously eating dairy, dairy, and more dairy during Shavuot, it's nice to give yourself a break with a low calorie, yet flavorful appetizer. Finding a way to get your family to eat healthy can be difficult, but searing the salmon allows the fish to become crisp on the outside, and juicy on the inside.
The Best Gold's BBQ Sauce and Giveaway

About 6 years ago, the summer before the release of my first book, I drove to the Gold's factory and warehouse out on Long Island for the first of many visits. I was going to meet Steven Gold, a kind man fiercely dedicated to his craft, to discuss a series of cooking videos I was commissioned to do for the OU featuring his products.
About 9 years ago I was the Bride Who Knew Nothing, a newlywed without a clue in the kitchen. Yeah, yeah I know you read that book and know that story but keep reading, this is a new one. Even way back then, when it came to entertaining there was one rule that I lived by and still live by to this day: the 3 Ps.

I LUV this Ring!
Par FaRi
de Mississauga, ON
At first I was hesitant after reading such BAD reviews on this ring. However I couldn't resist the temptation when there were only 2 left in White, this ring is so beautiful in the picture, how would it look in my finger, so I gave it a go, and boy was I glad. Although the ring itself is very light weight but the Diamonelle is very sparkly and my daughter is in luv with this ring as well, not to mention the countless compliments I get on this ring whenever I wear it. I'm keeping it safe and wear it occasionally.

Very disappointed :(
Par Kelly
de Newfoundland
While this is a beautiful looking ring, it is not made well. I had this ring for about 2 hours when I had to package it up and send it back. The bottom of the shank fell apart while I was in a jewelry store (how embarassing!!) In short, I love most of the jewelry I buy from the Shopping Channel but this one wasn't one of them.
En résumé
Non, je ne recommanderais pas ceci à un ami
"Very good looking ring"
Par no nickname!
de Carleton Place ON
I ordered one size smaller, I have lost some weight and some of my rings are a little bit lose now, so I thought It might be a good idea! I was so wrong, and didn't realized this item it's final sale (...I know it says very clear in the ring's description) so to make the history short I had to keep it. The ring fits, but not in the finger I want it to fit. Anyway afterwards I realized the ring looks good in any finger!
Par SHOPPETTE
de London, Ontario
When l came across this ring at this price, l had to have it. It is magnificent! Cannot wait to wear it.
Beautiful ring; not made well though
Par LINA
de ANCASTER
I bought the white onyx ring and it arrived broken, so I sent it back. I have received an exchange for it and having read the reviews, I decided to return it as it seems it breaks very easily. Too bad though as it is a beautiful ring.
Most Beautiful Captivating Ring
Par LOIS
de MAPLE RIDGE
I ordered this ring in Black Onyx when it was the show stopper-it's absolutely beautiful -I so far haven't had any problems but I don't wear it around the house-but I do wear it often -I loved it so much & it is SO comfortable to wear that I ordered the White Agate when the price was reduced - I always receive compliments when I have it on - one of my absolute favorites

14K Gold Diamonelle & Gemstone Ring
Par DOROTHY
de LAMONT
I have ordered this ring three times. Since the first time I saw it, I was captivated by it. First one was too big, second one looked like it was used(one returned by another customer) but the third time was a charm. I now have the ring and I would recommed it to any one. Fits like a glove and looks like a million bucks.
Onyx and Diamonelle
Par shop till I drop
de Collingwood
This onyx ring is the perfect size. It fits the way it should. The diamonelle is brilliant and looks wonderful aganist the black ring. I am very fond of onyx and this is no disappointment.

Par Victoria
de Toronto
I ordered the Black Onyx and while the ring itself is beautiful, the black onyx is poorly crafted and looks a bit like plastic. Kind of cheapens the ring. I'm going to keep it because it is nice and I like the large size.

Par Squirt
de Pickering, Ontario
I have this ring in black, and take great care when I wear it. It's so unfortunate to see all of these customers have their rings break. I believe if this is happening to so many customers that they should be given the choice of another ring or a refund. Now that the ring is on sale, perhaps its because of the problems, I really don't know. But I will be sure to take extra care when wearing mine, and if it breaks, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

Laser Resurfacing
Serving Chattanooga, Tennessee
To learn more about laser resurfacing, we recommend the article Freshen Your Skin with Fractional LASER, written by one of our surgeons.
Fractional Skin Resurfacing
What makes fractional skin resurfacing different from other types of laser resurfacing? Fractional skin treatments only treat a "fraction" of the skin's surface, leaving healthy tissue to assist in the rapid healing process. At The Plastic Surgery Group we recommend having the Lutronic eCO2 laser.
Fractional skin laser treatments are effective for the following:
- Reduce lines and deep wrinkles on the face
- Tighten skin on the face and neck
- Change the appearance of scars
- Improve skin tone around eyelids, jowls and neck
- Rejuvenate sun-damaged skin and improve texture
- Remove pigmented lesions
- Improve tone and texture on the chest, arms and hands
What to expect during and after the procedure:
- Minimal discomfort during the procedure with local sedation
- Swelling and redness for a few days or longer if treatment is aggressive
- Within days, new skin forming to take place of older, sun-damaged skin
- Quick return to your regular activities

I have to admit that I feel very overwhelmed at this point.
I've downloaded the DAZ 3D package, installed the program and GenesisStarterEssentials, have a feeling I should install DS4_3DBridge (I'm assuming this is a software bridge, but to what exactly), but have no idea whether I need to install Decimator and GoZ.
I have zero experience with 3D which is probably the reason for my confusions as I can't determine for myself, even after reading the site data, if and what I'll need in the future. So I'm asking for a little help.
I did download Hexagon since I peripherally saw it mentioned here.
Additionally there seems to be a great sale going on here and I've no idea if I should pick up a few things and what would get me the most bang for my buck.
Any help would be dearly appreciated.

From the above remarks, it should be clear that all four of these key figures dismissed some parts of Morihei's aikido legacy. Kisshomaru and Tohei, especially, abandoned the Founder's martial techniques, budo theory, and teaching methodology. All of them concluded that Morihei's arcane language and explanations of aikido's key concepts were inappropriate for modern times. Click here to read the entire article

More than nine months after the hotel lock firm Onity announced a fix for a security flaw that allowed anyone to gain access to millions of hotel rooms in seconds, that lock-hacking technique seems to be thriving–and thieves are still using it to perform dozens of burglaries with hardly a trace.
The latest reports of criminals implementing the Onity lock hack come from Arizona, where police say that hotel rooms have been burglarized across the cities of Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa, with between six and nine robberies in each city. In every case, police and hotel staff believe that the burglars used a small device that can be inserted into a data port on the underside of hotel locks to read their memory, access a digital key, and trigger the locks' opening mechanism in seconds. The targeted hotels include the Holiday Inn, Extended Stay, Quality Inn, Laquinta Inn, Red Roof Inn, Motel Six, Budget Inn, Courtyard By Marriot, and Comfort Inn, according to a Phoenix police spokeperson.
The video below shows two of the suspects entering the Coast Hotel in Phoenix and allegedly leaving with a 27-year old woman's suitcases. Though the video footage doesn't capture the accused thieves using the lock-hacking device to open the room's door, police say that hotels found evidence in its lock's memory that a device accessed the lock during the brief time when the men were in the building. That hacking device, which was first revealed by the security researcher and software developer Cody Brocious at the Black Hat security conference last year, can be built for less than $50, and spoofs the "portable programmer" used by hotel staff to change locks' settings and open locks with depleted batteries.
Local police are offering a $1,000 reward for information about the suspects.
In cases at other hotels, thieves stole luggage, TVs, laptops, iPads, the gun and badge of a U.S. marshall, and the full uniform of an airline pilot, along with every other possession he'd left in the Tempe hotel room. "Since all my stuff was cleaned out, I thought I was in the wrong room," pilot Ahmiel Fried told local news TV station ABC15, who first reported the break-ins. "[I was] not expecting everything to be gone."
Phoenix police spokesperson Darren Burch says it's still not clear how many people are exploiting the vulnerability in Onity's locks to rob hotels, or even whether the Arizona burglaries were performed by a single group or by individuals working separately. But he warns that while he's only aware of the Arizona thefts, it's likely that the lock-hacking technique is being exploited across the country, and that it may be being used more often than it's being reported. After all, Onity's keycard locks protect more than four million rooms worldwide. "We've just learned about this locally, but it's my understanding this is happening elsewhere," Burch says. "This is just the tip of the iceberg."
In November of last year I reported that the same vulnerability in Onity locks was used to break into a series of hotel rooms in Houston, Texas. In that case, police arrested and charged 27-year-old Matthew Allen Cook with theft. Cook, who still awaits trial, was identified when a stolen HP laptop ended up at a local pawnshop, whose staff helped to identify him.
This latest round of burglaries comes months after Onity became aware of its security issue and began working to fix it. In August, Onity announced it would be releasing temporary plugs to cover its locks data ports, and would follow up with a software update, albeit one that hotel customers themselves would have to pay for. But after the string of Texas break-ins, I obtained memos from Onity to Marriott, InterContinental Hotel Group, and Hyatt in which it agreed to reimburse those major chain hotels for a full circuit-board fix.
Given that some of the Arizona hotels are among the customers whose fixes Onity agreed to cover, it's not clear how they've remained vulnerable. I've reached out to Onity for a response and will update this post if I hear from the company.
Onity's troubles began in July, when Cody Brocious demonstrated to me in a series of New York hotels that his lock-opening trick could work. At the time, Brocious' technique was unreliable, only opening one of the three hotel room doors we tested. But he soon released the method online, and hackers began to post YouTube videos of themselves adapting and improving the lock-opening device until it worked reliably and could fit into an iPhone case or even a dry-erase marker.
At the time, Brocious argued that his hacking trick was intended to demonstrate Onity's security vulnerability and force the company to fix it–not to take advantage of the security flaw for criminal purposes. But nearly a year after he first showed me his trick, it's transformed from a theoretical bug to a very real criminal technique. And unless Onity and its customer hotels take greater care to update their locks, there's no end to the insecurity in sight.

Netrebko Plays Donizetti's Anna Bolena on THIRTEEN's Great Performances
The Metropolitan Opera premiere of Donizetti's Anna Bolena, starring soprano Anna Netrebko in her highly anticipated first North American performances of the tour-de-force title role, will be the 2012 season opener of THIRTEEN's Great Performances at the Met Friday, January 20 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS (check local listings).
The opera, a compelling dramatization of the tragic final days of Anne Boleyn—whose husband Henry VIII spurns her and has her sentenced to death—is directed by David McVicar and conducted by Marco Armiliato. The cast includes Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova as Anna's romantic rival, Giovanna (Jane Seymour); Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov as the cruel Enrico (Henry VIII); American tenor Stephen Costello as Anna's first love, Lord Percy; and American mezzo-soprano Tamara Mumford as the queen's devoted page Smeton.
Great Performances at the Met is a presentation of THIRTEEN for WNET, one of America's most prolific and respected public media providers. For nearly 50 years, WNET has been producing and broadcasting national and local arts programming to the New York community.
The telecast was originally seen live in movie theaters on October 15 as part of the groundbreaking series, The Met: Live in HD, which transmits live performances to more than 1700 movie theaters and performing arts centers in 54 countries around the world.
Generally considered one of Donizetti's finest operas, Anna Bolena is the first in a trilogy of works based on the lives of Tudor-era queens that David McVicar will direct at the Met over the next few seasons (the other two are Maria Stuarda and Roberto Devereux). McVicar, whose production of Il Trovatore aired on Great Performances at the Met in August, has created a historically detailed setting for the opera, which re-emerged as a musical and dramatic showpiece for extraordinary sopranos when Maria Callas starred in a famous 1957 La Scala revival of the work.
"Donizetti takes the bel canto form and explores every possible dramatic opportunity within it," McVicar says. "The lynchpin of the story is Anna Bolena's inability to provide Henry VIII with the male heir that he craves. And, of course, to be a wife of Henry VIII is to risk as much as you gain."
She made her Met debut in 2002 as Natasha in Prokofiev's War and Peace. Since then, Netrebko has sung nine additional roles with the company, including Donizetti's Norina in Don Pasquale and Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor. This spring, she will return to the Met as the hedonistic heroine of Massenet's Manon in her second new production of the season, also to be broadcast on Great Performances at the Met.
Gubanova made her Met debut in a 2007 revival of War and Peace and starred as Giulietta opposite Netrebko's Antonia in Bartlett Sher's 2009 new production premiere of Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann. At the Met, Abdrazakov has starred in the title role in the company premiere of Verdi's Attila, as Mephistopheles in both Gounod's Faust and Berlioz's La Damnation de Faust, and as Raimondo in Lucia di Lammermoor. Rising young tenor Costello made his Met debut as Arturo, Lucia's doomed husband, in the new production of Lucia di Lammermoor that opened the 2007-08 season. He sang the role of Percy at the Dallas Opera in the 2010-11 season.
The design team for Anna Bolena includes two artists making their Met debuts. Scenic designer Robert Jones collaborated with McVicar on the acclaimed 2005 Glyndebourne production of Handel's Giulio Cesare and has designed numerous plays and musicals, including the Broadway productions of Tom Stoppard's Rock 'n' Roll and the 2002 revival of Noises Off. Olivier Award-winning costume designer Jenny Tiramani, a leading authority on historical costuming, has designed for numerous theater productions and spent eight years as Head of Design at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London. Paule Constable, whose Met credits include the company premiere of Philip Glass's Satyagraha and this season's new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni, is the lighting designer for Anna Bolena. Her numerous honors include a 2011 Tony Award for her work on Broadway's War Horse.

Ai Miyazato
Anna Nordqvist
Beatriz Recari
Onnarin Sattayabanphot
KRAIG KANN: Good morning. Thanks for being here at the International Crown. It is a great pleasure to welcome in four of the best players in the world who are competing this week in this competition. Representing both Pool B and Pool A, down to my far left, a nine‑time LPGA winner, former No. 1 in the world representing Japan is Ai Miyazato. Representing Sweden Rolex Rankings NO. 10, four‑time LPGA winner, Anna Nordqvist. From Pool A and representing Spain is Beatriz Recari, Rolex Rankings No. 36 and a three‑time LPGA winner. Representing Thailand is Onnarin Sattayabanphot, she is a member of the JLPGA competing here this week.
So thank you all for being here. Several questions I know you all will have some as well, so please raise your hand. We'll get to you in just a second. But I want to start with some overall thoughts and I'm going to make this really easy. I'm going to start at the end of the table down there and work our way this way. I want your overall impressions of this event, the microphone will definitely work for you, and get your kind of feelings on what you think about the International Crown to this point.
AI MIYAZATO: This is amazing tournament. I'm so excited to be here. Looking at the other players, all the great players that get to play this week, it's going to be really tough. But the Team Japan is in good shape and we're looking forward to playing this week. We're so eager to win this tournament, so we're just so ready.
KRAIG KANN: What was your first thought when you walked in, and kind of the team room or when you got your gear, tell us what was that like for you.
AI MIYAZATO: Well everything is amazing. It's kind of a new experience to me, because I can't play in Solheim Cup. I watch them many times in the Solheim Cup and I felt always that I wished I could be in there. So this is amazing feeling, representing my country, and seeing my country flag everywhere on this golf course makes me have goose bumps. So happy to be here.
KRAIG KANN: Anna, you played in the Solheim Cup, in fact you starred at the Solheim Cup. You made a hole‑in‑one at the Solheim Cup. What's this been like for you and representing Sweden and not just Europe?
ANNA NORDQVIST: It's been very exciting. I do get the honor to play in the Solheim Cup, but I feel very fortunate to be here this week. Asia has been such a dominant force these last couple years, so I'm very excited to have them included and have Australia and the rest of the great countries here.
I love playing team events, because there's nothing we do in a regular basis. It just brings that excitement and you have fun with your teammates and I just can't wait to go out there and play best ball for once.
KRAIG KANN: International competition this week and for you personally, you decided to fight off a little jet lag this week as well, coming internationally just to get here. What were you doing last week?
ANNA NORDQVIST: Back home in Sweden enjoying some time with my friends and family and maybe getting a little bit of Swedish spirit going. Eating a lot of Swedish Candie. So I'm fit for the fight.
KRAIG KANN: Beatriz, let's gets your thoughts on this. I know you played in Solheim Cup. How does this feel different and your thoughts?
BEATRIZ RECARI: Well, I hate to compare. Solheim Cup, I had the experience last week or last year, and it was such an amazing feeling and it was everything that I could have imagined and more. This week, it is different. You're representing your country, but it's just different. It's just another special week. It's the four of us. We have known each other for so long and we have competed as juniors, growing up. So even though we turned pro for many years, we didn't have this opportunity to represent our country on a professional level.
As soon as we came this week, it is like everything came back. We remembered how strong we were as a team and we can't wait to represent our country and our professional level.
KRAIG KANN: Your team, just perception, seems incredibly close. Is that a fair assessment?
BEATRIZ RECARI: It is. So you got to really watch out. We get really passionate. We feel our flag like, I mean like everything, our blood boils. So when we watch our flag and when we found out that we are first off tomorrow and the National Anthem is going to be played, we were like, Oh, please, let's not get emotional and start crying.
But that's how we feel about our country. So we can't wait to give our best and hopefully get the crown on Sunday.
KRAIG KANN: 32 events on the LPGA schedule, 33 if you count this, spread over 14 countries including Thailand. Onnarin, you don't play on the LPGA full‑time, but what are your thoughts on this event and being able to represent your country?
ONNARIN SATTAYABANPHOT: It's been awhile since I was in the States, so I'm really excited to come back here and play and represent my country and then have fun with my teammates again. I'm really looking forward to this week.
KRAIG KANN: Your team is getting a lot of attention, actually, a lot of people think that they could be a surprise team this week. When you got here and were able to spend time with your teammates, what has that been like for you?
ONNARIN SATTAYABANPHOT: Well, it's been really exciting. I haven't seen them for a long, long time, like maybe six years for Pornanong. So I'm excited to play with her tomorrow and then try to have fun.
KRAIG KANN: Questions? We have microphones so raise your hand. Before we start taking those, I do want to ask a little bit about the matchups and get your perspective on that. Early off tomorrow in Pool B Mamiko Higa and Mika Miyazato, Caroline Hedwall and Anna Nordqvist. So, Anna, I want to get your take on that matchup. Did you know that you were going to play with Caroline? Was that something that was a lock going in? Do you feel like you would play together more than just tomorrow or what's the dynamic there?
ANNA NORDQVIST: Well, I mean, me and Caroline, we played really well together at the Solheim Cup last year and we feel like that we didn't want to switch it up. We kind of feed off that momentum. I have known Caroline for many years. She's such a strong competitor and I can relate to myself a lot in her. I can trust in her game and she performs very well under pressure.
So it was kind of one of those pairings that I really enjoyed and I'm very happy that we're starting out like that tomorrow and then we'll see for the end of the week how it goes.
KRAIG KANN: Very strong pairing. Ai, you're with Sakura against Pernilla Lindberg and Mikaela Parmlid. I put you guys together down there so we could see if we got any rivalry between Japan and Sweden to kick things off. But what about that matchup for you and how did the pairings come about in your team room? Was it a long conversation or was it easy?
AI MIYAZATO: It was only a two‑minute conversation, I guess, because I know Sakura a long time, since when I was 10. It was just a natural feeling, I think. It was just so nice to be with Sakura and just no claim from her. And it's just, I don't know, nice to be with, as a team, with my best friends. So I think it's going to be fun.
KRAIG KANN: I think there will be a lot of eyes on the Pool A matchup tomorrow at 10 a.m. The Jutanugarn sisters competing against Belen Mozo and Beatriz Recari. How did you end up with Belen and is this something that might go on? Karrie Webb made a comment that she hopes to play with everybody, so give me your assessment on that matchup.
BEATRIZ RECARI: Well, I don't want to give too many insights because that's part of our strategy.
KRAIG KANN: Give me a few minutes.
BEATRIZ RECARI: Just give you enough information here. First of all, Carlota and I played so well in Solheim Cup, and then Belen and I get along so well, too. So we looked at each other and nodded and said, Yeah.
It's kind of like what Ai said, it just felt natural and it just fit perfectly the two pairs that we did for tomorrow. And I can't wait to play with her. It's been awhile, since junior events and we're going to have so much fun. We're so pumped up.
KRAIG KANN: The Jutanugarn sisters can bring some game to the first tee. Who is the captain in the Team Spain room, even though there is no captain?
BEATRIZ RECARI: No, there is no captain. We get along so well that we agree. The discussion was like who goes first or who gets paired with her. It goes in 10 seconds. We agree and we discuss everything. I never liked to have any kind of leader and feel like you have to follow in terms of like among players. We're four, we get along so well, and we discuss everything, and we just come to an agreement. So that's part of how, why we're so strong.
KRAIG KANN: Beatriz, you're teammates Carlota Ciganda and Azahara Munoz will take on Pornanong Phatlum and Onnarin Sattayabanphot. Let's talk about that matchup for you personally. Thailand and Spain, that's going to be quite a little battle. How do you feel about your pairing and were you going to play with Pornanong from the get‑go? Was that easy for you?
ONNARIN SATTAYABANPHOT: I think that should be pretty easy to play with Pornanong. Her game is pretty consistent and then I think I can go and be aggressive tomorrow.
KRAIG KANN: Help us with what your style of play is. There are a lot of folks that won't necessarily know what you bring and what your style of game is, because you're not a member of the LPGA full‑time. So what can they expect?
ONNARIN SATTAYABANPHOT: Well just come and watch tomorrow and you'll find out.
KRAIG KANN: I like that. No secrets. Okay. Let's take some questions.
Q. I wanted to ask about the Olympics. Do you see this as kind of a first step toward telling what the Olympics might be like in a couple years? What are your thoughts on the format? Would you like to see some sort of a team format in there as well as the individual?
ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, ever since Olympics or the golf got voted into the Olympics, it's been such an exciting process, just thinking about seeing yourself and working hard to compete, not only with the best golfers, but also seeing all the other athletes. I was definitely disappointed to not see any kind of team format in the Olympics. I think stroke play is fair, it brings out the best game in everyone. But when I watched the Olympics, a lot of things I relate to is seeing the team format and playing for your country.
But obviously very exciting to have a chance to play in the Olympics as a golfer, and I can only speak for myself, but I'm working very hard to be able to get the opportunity to represent Sweden in 2016.
KRAIG KANN: Ai Miyazato, your thoughts on the Olympics and a team competition or specifically how the International Crown might help everybody in leading up to Olympic golf.
AI MIYAZATO: Oh, yeah, of course. It's going to be a huge help with Team Japan, because the Olympics obviously it's really exciting about it. But this week it's going to be match play and we're so used to playing four days tournament. The match play, you might play 18 holes or you might play extra holes, so you have to be ready from the first tee, first shot.
So it's going to be really exciting this week. But for sure it's going to be a great experience for the Olympics this week.
BEATRIZ RECARI: I have to agree. Representing your country, every time you watch the Olympics every four years, or even the winter Olympics and you watch, and it's like, My God, you know, I really want to be there. And now that golf was voted in, it was a huge excitement.
This week I think it's only going to help, just to show what this tournament can bring to the Olympics, and probably maybe like you said, maybe include a team format. Because the Olympics is all about the team. I don't think it's so much about individuals, I think it's about in the end raising your flag for your country.
I'm really excited. It's only two years to go now. It's gone really quick since they voted it in and I think that this week is going to be a huge boost towards the Olympics.
ONNARIN SATTAYABANPHOT: I think that this week will really help get our team ready for the Olympics. The Olympics is a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience, so I think this week will definitely help to get us prepared for the Olympics.
Q. Anna, to you, with experience of the Solheim Cup, only four players, no captain, Karrie Webb, who hasn't played in one, said that her and her teammates took 20 minutes to decide where to go to dinner on Monday. Have you guys found yourselves having indecision in determining strategy and how to put together teams so far, and what has that dynamic been with you guys discussing it?
ANNA NORDQVIST: Yeah, all four of us got together on Monday night for a dinner. Me, Pernilla, and Caroline have played since we were 15 or 16, I would say, so we know each other very well. Mikaela is a couple years older than us, but she might be the most experienced one. So it felt pretty natural to put me and Caroline together since we played a lot. I know that Pernilla and Mikaela will feed off each other very well.
So it's just such a fun format where there's no captains and for once you're kind of in charge. We talked a little bit about strategies and that, how to play match play. But I feel like all of us have played our fair share of matches growing up and over the years, so it's just very exciting to play better ball. If you make a double on a hole, you always get a new chance the next hole. So for us it's just very exciting. We had a great team spirit this week and we hope to be a strong competitor this week.
KRAIG KANN: The top seed in Pool B is the Republic of Korea. The top seed of Pool A is the UnitedStates. So given that neither of them are represented in this room, let's talk about them a little bit. Why not? Are they the absolute favorites? So let me get your perspective from Pool B and start with Japan, Ai, do you feel like Korea is absolutely the team to beat? How do you feel Japan is in that bracket?
AI MIYAZATO: Well, for sure the Team Korea is in good shape. All the four players played so well last couple years. It's just a different thing. You have to accept it. You have to focus your team. It's going to be really tough against any other country, so you have to focus on your own game on the golf course and you have to be proud of yourself that you're playing this week.
So I'm just ready for any country against any country.
KRAIG KANN: Two teams will advance out of the pool. Anna, how confident is team Sweden right now?
ANNA NORDQVIST: I think we're very comfortable, but I feel like we're underdogs. I think that just only works to our advantage. Korea and the U.S. are such strong teams and they have both been playing very well this year. I think the American team is very pumped up after losing in Colorado last year and they obviously have been dominating the Tour this year.
So we just got to try to figure out how to beat them.
KRAIG KANN: The Americans are in Pool A as the No. 1 overall seed. They overtook the Republic of Korea. Spain sits in that pool. I know you're a fairly confident bunch, is that a fair assessment of Team Spain?
BEATRIZ RECARI: Yes, we are. I think that team events for us, it only brings the best out of us. So even though I think we're No. 5 ranked, we can only go upwards.
It's always playing the UnitedStates, on home soil, it obviously is going to be hard, but we believe in each other a lot. We're very confident in our game. We're playing well. I think this kind of format is only going to bring the best out of us.
Even though Korea or the UnitedStates or any other team is going to be hard to beat, we're very confident and we're going to fight them until the end.
KRAIG KANN: Beatriz, does the 5 overall seed mean anything in this? Do you throw all that stuff out or is it a number that matters?
BEATRIZ RECARI: Yeah, no, we don't look at it as we're NO. 5, and we feel kind of 5 out of 8. No, we don't look at it that way. We feel like, okay, every day we have a team to beat and that's all we have to focus on. One day at a time. Just give it your best, and in the end, do your best job to bring that crown to Spain.
KRAIG KANN: Onnarin, your thoughts on the UnitedStates being the No. 1 overall seed and you having to potentially get past them.
ONNARIN SATTAYABANPHOT: Well, definitely it's going to be tough to beat them, but we, as a team, we're going to try our best to beat any match every day and then let's see how it goes.
KRAIG KANN: Any other questions from the audience? I have one more on the way out the door. I'm going to start with you Onnarin. Come Sunday night, there is only one country that gets to wear the crown, four crowns will be put on the heads of four players from that country. Somebody will be called the best golfing nation in the world, the first time that will ever happen. What would it mean to you personally, what would it mean Tour country?
ONNARIN SATTAYABANPHOT: It would be a big honor if I can take that crown back to my country. Definitely Spain has the name on the crown, but as a team we would like to steal it from them.
KRAIG KANN: That came out at the gala dinner. I don't know how that ended up happening. Beatriz, your thoughts on what it would mean for you personally and for your country. Could you put it in words?
BEATRIZ RECARI: Yeah, I know that this event has drawn a lot of attention back home and they're waiting for us to bring those crowns back home. It will mean a lot. Especially I think that the Spanish golf is just growing, so I think it's only going to help grow the sport as well back home. Yeah, just make everybody back home proud.
KRAIG KANN: Anna? Sweden's had a few players that have achieved a few things in the game. What would this mean?
ANNA NORDQVIST: It would be a huge honor, especially playing a team event on the professional level. We all got a lot of support from the Swedish Federation growing up and that really helped us learn a lot about the game and take our games to the next level. I think that I wouldn't be here without their support. It would be a huge honor for me to give back to them, back to my country.
