Savory Bread & Butter Pudding
Savory Bread & Butter Pudding Printable Recipe
This is the fourth of five finalist recipes for the Dairy Contest, the winner of which will be announced this Monday (Labor Day!) This recipe, submitted by Dani, appealed to me on many levels, not the least of which was that it resembles a similar recipe I've made before, which I love and gobble up unabashedly. This particular recipe had a couple of twists, of course, and used plain yogurt in the custard mixture, which translated to a light, delicious breakfast bread pudding fitting enough for lunch and dinner, too. Let's make it and you'll see what I mean.
The recipe starts with 8 eggs. Crack, crack, crack…nine times.
To the eggs, I added 1 cup of milk.
And 1 cup of plain, unflavored yogurt.
Then I gave it a whisk. *WHISK*
I measured 1 cup shredded colby-jack cheese, but the recipe says to use whatever grated or crumbled cheese you have. "I personally believe" that blue cheese would be yummy.
I like to say "I personally believe" at least four times daily.
Then I added in some Dijon mustard.
Next, I grabbed 6 slices of stale bread. Okay, it wasn't stale. Nothing gets stale around my house, 'cause everyone eats everything up as soon as I bring it into the house. But I think what the submitter of the recipe was saying was, it's okay to use bread that ain't all that fresh anymore. I think a crusty french bread would be yummy, too.
According to the recipe, I cut the slices of bread into quarters.
I had some bacon left over from breakfast, which was a miracle. An anomaly. An aberration.
I grabbed two tomatoes from my garden, lopped off the tops, and cut them in half lengthwise.
Then I made thick slices, which wound up being half-moon shaped.
The recipe called for a small bunch of silver beet/chard/spinach, so I grabbed whatever green I could find. It'll work.
To assemble the dish, I buttered a pan.
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/pioneerwoman/2809690924/" title="DSC_0029_5958 by Pioneer Woman, on Flickr">And scattered in the bread.
Next, I chopped the bacon (I used peppered…can you tell?) and sprinkled it over the bread…
Followed by the tomato slices. Ugh, this looks good.
And finally, the egg/milk/yogurt/cheese mixture to pull it all together.
After baking for 30 minutes on 350 degrees, here's what it looked like.
Oh, dear. This looks very promising.
And the verdict? It didn't disappoint. It was delicious. And handy, too—according to Dani, you can use the basic recipe as a way of using whatever leftover bread, meat, and vegetables you have on hand.
Thank you, Dani!
Only one more recipe to go before the winner is chosen and announced on Labor Day. It's getting close…

Not to quibble, but where is the butter from the title???
coloradolady On Saturday, August 30 at 11:04 am
this sounds good. can't wait to try it.
I like the fact that this looks really easy to make.
Shecancreate On Saturday, August 30 at 11:08 am
That looks amazing. *Tummy growls* regretting the cold pizza for breakfast.
Vicky On Saturday, August 30 at 11:12 am
I'm not getting the bread & butter title – only butter I saw was where you greased the pan. This seems more like a breakfast strata (of which I think there were about a million different versions in the contest) than a bread pudding.
lindsey On Saturday, August 30 at 11:17 am
What about using fresh basil instead of the greens and fresh mozzarella instead of the shredded jack/colby?
mmmm. sounds divine and definitely something to putz around with for lots of different versions.
Janelle On Saturday, August 30 at 11:23 am
OMG that is so good. I think I've put on 5 pound since scrolling through the pics. YUMMY!!!
Grannie Smith On Saturday, August 30 at 11:41 am
We have a winner!!! I mean I think we have a winner. You could do so many variations… basil, mushrooms….. cilantro.. I could go on… yummeh
BOSSY On Saturday, August 30 at 11:52 am
If there was an ocean of Bread and Butter Pudding, Bossy would become a Deep Sea Diver.
Shawna On Saturday, August 30 at 12:12 pm
Jenny, I was with you about the fatty ends. Just wasn't feelin' the recipe once I saw that! But love your idea of baking the bacon to eliminate that. Otherwise the recipe looks good and interesting!
gitz On Saturday, August 30 at 12:13 pm
That seems like a lot of bread in my eggs, but here's what I REALLY like about this recipe.
I think even I could make it without messing it up.
That alone should make this one the winner.
Trish On Saturday, August 30 at 12:16 pm
That looks really really good!
AJMick On Saturday, August 30 at 12:19 pm
I love, love, L-O-V-E egg casseroles! Yum! Gotta try this!
Defessa On Saturday, August 30 at 12:27 pm
Yummy looking!
I have a breakfast pot-luck at work coming up, this is going to be my contribution!!
Deirdre On Saturday, August 30 at 12:27 pm
ok this is getting ridiculous, these recipes are amazing and my stomach just lunged at the computer screen!! I admit defeat! there is no way my recipe could've held a candle to this! BTW when is someone gonna invent the world wide eatery?? just log on and sample savory bread pudding please. wow i am really hungry now. gotta make this now!
Debby S On Saturday, August 30 at 12:31 pm
No way is this any kind of bread pudding I've ever had! The kind we like is old fashioned and sweet and full of cinnamon and topped with a vanilla-carmel sauce. This recipe is more of a breakfast casserole. well——–Enjoy.
Karen H On Saturday, August 30 at 12:42 pm
That looks delicous!
Kimsue On Saturday, August 30 at 1:01 pm
Dang, that looks good!
Literarysnob On Saturday, August 30 at 1:02 pm
Well!! Now I'm hungry and I don't have any of those ingredients except a couple of eggs!!!
I guess I'll pjust like the screen!!!!
I Play Outside The Box On Saturday, August 30 at 1:07 pm
Looks yummy!
bakingblonde On Saturday, August 30 at 1:16 pm
Wow! That looks great! I rarely bake savory treats so this would be a nice change from my go-to recipes!! YUM!
Kelly On Saturday, August 30 at 1:16 pm
I think it looks tasty! My daughter wouldn't touch it…I know her!…however, it looks like it might be adaptable to a single/smaller portion pretty easily.
Tresa On Saturday, August 30 at 1:23 pm
Where's the picture of what it looks like scooped out on the plate?
This looks like an awesome use-up main dish meal. Thanks for sharing!!!
Susan On Saturday, August 30 at 1:23 pm
I looks delicious but not like a pudding! Why is it called bread and butter pudding? There isn't any butter in the recipe..except for buttering the pan. Hmmm. It reads more like a strata..it's not custardy looking like a bread pudding; there's too little liquid or too many eggs. Will have to think about this one.
Courtney On Saturday, August 30 at 1:27 pm
Yep, this one may be the winner!!! I found Maple flavored bacon on sale this week and the garden is full of tomatoes and my Swiss Chard needs something to do! I am going to let it sit in the fridge overnight and see how that works.
Cheryl in WI On Saturday, August 30 at 1:30 pm
I am a bread-pudding afficianado… this is the first 'savory' one I've ever seen. Must try! Thank you!
Tiffany Tijerina On Saturday, August 30 at 1:36 pm
I LOVE breakfast recipes. Cannot wait to try this one!
kerry On Saturday, August 30 at 1:41 pm
CTalley On Saturday, August 30 at 1:48 pm
Oh wow, I've always thought of bread and butter pudding as a dessert type of dish. Sugar, cinnamon, etc…this looks absolutely delicious. Thanks!
Jen P. On Saturday, August 30 at 2:09 pm
Great idea to add the yogurt. I might have to try this for dinner tonight!
suz On Saturday, August 30 at 2:27 pm
Good brunch dish! Gotta try this one!
Tammy On Saturday, August 30 at 2:32 pm
I made a very similar recipe recently, that involved cheese, Bisquick, tomatoes, fresh basil and mayo that was excellent. This one sounds like it's to die for! Can't wait to try it.
Kayleigh On Saturday, August 30 at 2:40 pm
Didn't the bread get incredibly soggy? With that many layers, moist and no direct heat, I can imagine the bread underneath really turning into pudding. Too bad there's no 'while eating' photo so we could have seen what it looked like underneath the pretty and crunchy top.
whitney On Saturday, August 30 at 2:45 pm
In the Deep South, we call this "breakfast casserole" to get our men folk to eat it This one looks like a keeper!!
Elizabeth On Saturday, August 30 at 2:46 pm
Hmmmm….kinda like a BLT breakfast casserole? Cool. But I have to say what a sin — no one should ever have leftover bacon, ever, lol!
Lucinda On Saturday, August 30 at 2:54 pm
Yum! You don't have to say no meat for vegetarians because Morningstar Farms makes a delicious facon! I'm going to try this Labor Day! Thanks Dani & Ree
belle On Saturday, August 30 at 2:57 pm
this was really good
NuJoi On Saturday, August 30 at 2:58 pm
What a way to feed a crowd! Love the fresh greens.
Patty Williams On Saturday, August 30 at 3:15 pm
Good way to use up some leftovers for sure! Sounds like a twist to a fritatta.
Whatever you call it, call it good!
rere On Saturday, August 30 at 3:24 pm
looks wonderful. …not sure the family would eat it though.
Kate in Canada 2 On Saturday, August 30 at 3:29 pm
lol, I was stuck on cracking the eggs 9 times for 8 eggs
too. I see a few others have felt the same.
Looks very interesting, wish I cooked.
Blue On Saturday, August 30 at 3:33 pm
I like to say "I personally believe" at least four times daily.
So does This Girl
And though I've never been a huge fan of the bread pudding that people bring over during the holidays, this actually looks like my kind of scrumdiddilyumptiousness. I just may give it a whirl. Only in lieu of lettuce, I think I'd substitute fresh basil. Cause I ♥ the basil. It's my favorite green thing, mainly because it looks so happy and healthy in my planter. And nothing else has ever looked that happy or healthy.
I hope my links work!
rosie_kate On Saturday, August 30 at 3:55 pm
Oh. Yum. This is going to be supper tonight (who says eggs are only for breakfast?). I have some homemade sourdough that is getting a bit stale and tons of colorful chard in the garden… Mmmm…
I am wondering why it's called "Bread and Butter Pudding" but has no butter… I might add some… Or cream…
Maven On Saturday, August 30 at 4:13 pm
I can't wait to try this one!
leslie h (in MD) On Saturday, August 30 at 4:23 pm
You have me hooked on pepper bacon, you foul temptress.
And you know that by adding the greens, this dish is now totally healthy and can be consumed in large quantities.
Nette On Saturday, August 30 at 4:27 pm
This looks delicious and I think it's definitely a candidate for Sunday breakfast.
Were the winners for the mixer announced? I've looked everywhere and can't find any mention of it.
Becca On Saturday, August 30 at 4:43 pm
8 eggs cracked 9 times? Explain? That is too funny! Did one get "scrambled"?
Beth On Saturday, August 30 at 4:44 pm
i decided to make this and have it for supper tonight ..
I used italian sausage and bacon..can't wait til it comes out of the oven..
Nikki H On Saturday, August 30 at 5:06 pm
This sounds/looks really yummy and I think I will make it sometime soon. But I have a question: why is it called bread and butter pudding if there isn't any butter in it? I know you have probably addressed this issue, but I missed it.
Livinonthecrowrock On Saturday, August 30 at 5:09 pm
I am with the poster who said she was going to use basil. We love basil and tomato(and cheese). I wonder if some sweet or vidalia onion might make a nice addition…Maybe half basil and some other greens. It does look lovely!
Puppydogs On Saturday, August 30 at 5:10 pm
Oh, I can see eating this for any meal of the day!
I too find it a miracle if there is any bacon left over in my house, If I cook a pound, its gone, if I cook 2 lbs, it is gone too…..funny how those bottemless pits work-lol
j.shaver On Saturday, August 30 at 5:28 pm
eeewwww…i don't know…well i wish there was a way for the "audience" to test and vote. kinda' like viewer's choice.
Charity On Saturday, August 30 at 5:36 pm
Oh my, this looks delicious! Thanks for sharing another great one.
Dani On Saturday, August 30 at 5:39 pm
Hint: if you don't get why there is butter in the title, you're not smearing enough on your pan. If you really want to go crazy, you can butter the bread slices too. I try not to out of respect for my rear end
Strata must be an American thing? I've never heard of it.
michellee On Saturday, August 30 at 5:40 pm
Well, it isn't something I'd make… but I'm glad others like it.
Dani On Saturday, August 30 at 5:41 pm
oh and I find the bread gets moist but not sctually soggy
Renee On Saturday, August 30 at 6:02 pm
Looks good, but I wonder if there was a way to adjust it to a low carb recipe?
eM On Saturday, August 30 at 6:02 pm
can you add one of those "share" buttons to your posts – that way I can ost my favorites to my facebook account which happens to be a great way to archive recipes.
here's blog that has what I speak of:
the little save/share thingie is at the bottom of the post
mmm mmm
I am gonna make this puddin' and invite some folks over for brunch
Rene On Saturday, August 30 at 6:20 pm
This recipe looks a lot like Kentucky Hot Brown- minus the turkey! Seriously, if you have turkey around, please add it. You will never ever regret it…I promise.
Erica On Saturday, August 30 at 6:34 pm
Seriously now…this looks divine. And I'm thinking some goat cheese and pancetta, or chorizo and jalapeno cheddar. oh the options are endless.
What Happens Next On Saturday, August 30 at 7:21 pm
I would definitely use basil as the "green" in this one if I had it on hand.
Those thick slices of tomato look amazing! Homegrown… Mmmmm..
Sudee in Florida On Saturday, August 30 at 7:23 pm
I was wondering about the butter part, too. Thanks for explaining Dani. I would love this, but my husband likes the kind mentioned by #115 (Debby S.) that is more of a dessert. I make that one with the cinnamon, sugar, and I put pecans in mine. My husband eats most of it (I am not that crazy about it), so I don't make it very often (he doesn't need all those calories). I'd love the vanilla- caramel sauce recipe to go on top. Then maybe I'd like it better.

Bibliohistoria On Saturday, August 30 at 8:41 pm
I LOVE your idea of one cup of grated cheese. That looks like a whole POT full of cheese.
Lily On Saturday, August 30 at 9:21 pm
Wonderful! I have a lot of stale bread on hand right now.
Cherie On Saturday, August 30 at 9:23 pm
This turned out great–nice light supper! Thanks Dani and PW. Recipe rocks!
c_az On Saturday, August 30 at 9:58 pm
Oh yum yum YUM!!! I have a nice, dense nine grain bread that will be joining this recipe for a labor day brunch. I'm thinking the fact that it is so dense will prevent any kind of soggy bread fiasco. Mmm. I'm drooling already. Maple bacon in the freezer, fresh spinach in the fridge and fresh tomatoes on the counter. I love a recipe that is so flexible and uses everything I already have. Love it!
And I love the suggestion of baking the bacon. I never thought of that. Must try it.
Xyrra On Saturday, August 30 at 10:17 pm
Wow, this is an amazing dish. Showed it to my boyfriend when it was posted this morning, and he just said "Wow… but it needs more meat.", he's one of those types of boys.
So, I took that as a personal challenge. A loaf of garlic baguette was calling my name, as was the rib-eye we had in the freezer. I sent him out for mushrooms, a large onion, and bleu cheese!
He also returned with pepper-bacon and kale.
So, our bread pudding became steak & bacon & mushroom with bleu cheese and kale.
Just because I had to mess with it more, I topped it with lots of sun-dried tomatoes.
It's just in the oven, but even now, the smell is making my eyes roll back in my head.
Floanne On Saturday, August 30 at 11:00 pm
Question Alert***
Would you honestly admit if one of the finalists recipes tasted just dreadful? Just curious…
This one makes me a little nervous to try… The soft/soggy bread with the tomato makes me want to stay away. However, it does look pretty dang good…
p.j. On Saturday, August 30 at 11:10 pm
This looks delicious, Ree. Congratulations to Dani!
I have Swiss chard looking for a new use, as well as lots of basil, white Cabot cheddar, and plain yogurt & eggs. The problem? The stupid, greedy squirrels are grabbing the tomatoes before they are even half ripe. GRRRRR.
Take care, p.j.
Katie On Saturday, August 30 at 11:47 pm
This looks so great! Love the French bread idea…hmmm, wonder how Ezekiel bread would be for folks who like hearty bread and are on low carb diets? Think I'll be making this soon.
Vicky On Sunday, August 31 at 12:10 am
aadila On Sunday, August 31 at 1:41 am
This one HAS to be the winner!!!!!!
notlikeyourmom On Sunday, August 31 at 7:23 am
we call it strata. and it's usually considered breakfast but we eat it for different meals.
looks good though
Sues is not Martha On Sunday, August 31 at 7:32 am
YUM! Looks like an awesome brunch food for when I have guests. Or just for me!
Diane in Cincinnati On Sunday, August 31 at 9:34 am
My,that looks yummy! Anything with tomatoes has my vote!
Lynn C. On Sunday, August 31 at 9:53 am
I was having company last night and since this recipe looked so tasty I decided-aw, what the heck?! So I went to the store grabbed escarole (cause it sounded more fun than spinach) and other ingredients. I picked my tomatoes and threw it all together and popped them in the oven.
One of my friends is a vegetarian so I changed the recipe to 1 1/2 the original( also because 2 little containers of plain yogurt was 12 ounces and I didn't want to throw the extra away); putting 1/3 in a small casserole dish without the bacon and the remaining 2/3 in a disposable 13×9 pan. The nice thing was she didn't feel self conscious eating something totally different or that she made me do more work and I felt wonderful knowing that she could eat what I served with no fuss.
Another great thing is that when my daughter came home from work this morning she ate it for breakfast. And we'll eat the rest for lunch if there is any left! This is a great recipe-no, I do not know the contestant Oh, and wouldn't this be a great holiday brunch? Ok, I'm done now! Thanks for your blog! Love to cook, love photography, etc.
Jen W. On Sunday, August 31 at 10:48 am
The title and the picture (when appearing together) do not seem to match. Pudding? I know now (after reading the recipe) why it's called so, but the two things together didn't make it sound very appetizing. However, after seeing how it's made and looking at the "after" picture, I'm thinking I need to make this. YUM!
moon On Sunday, August 31 at 10:52 am
What did you do with the extra egg? You cracked nine times for eight eggs. I know, I'm splittin' hairs here but I had to re-read the recipe to find out where that extra crack went.
This looks like the winner, to me.
Anonymous On Sunday, August 31 at 11:13 am
Something about this REEEEEEAAAALLY makes me want to blow chunks. Just nooooooo!
Lisa On Sunday, August 31 at 11:21 am
Looks yummy! I'm gonna have to give this a try for tomorrow morning!
Happy Labor Day!
Lisa On Sunday, August 31 at 11:34 am
Wow, I think I have to try this very soon. It almost seems to easy. Thanks a bunch!
Life On An Island On Sunday, August 31 at 12:32 pm
So here goes… and I'm subbing with Fresh Mosszrella for cheese, 1/2 Ricotta & 1/2 yogurt… Kale, spinach & chard.
Must be starving at the moment! Thanks for picking a recipe with fresh garden produce. Perfect
Happy Labor Day
Life On An Island On Sunday, August 31 at 12:36 pm
Ok… how about eggplant.. and I do like the idea of Basil. Heck… you really could empty the fridge this way… no more rotton "what the heck is that" in my vegetable bin
And I personally believe I'll be using this recipe often!
txgirl On Sunday, August 31 at 1:02 pm
Looks very pretty. I hate tomatoes but wish I loved them. When do we get to see the 5th finalist?
Can not wait for the winner! All seem pretty darn good.
Terri On Sunday, August 31 at 1:22 pm
Wow is this great! I read about it yesterday morning and went right to the kitchen to make it. DH and I both loved it. I halved the recipe and just ate the leftovers this morning.
Really good and I can see it being adapted so easily to use whatever CSA veggies I have left in any given week. This will be a popular recipe in our house.
MamaGeph On Sunday, August 31 at 1:49 pm
Oh, mercy, this is making me drool!
Lailani On Sunday, August 31 at 1:50 pm
Looks delish! Will have to try this next week . . . thanks Dani for submitting and thank you PW for choosing and sharing!
Jenni On Sunday, August 31 at 1:56 pm
Why oh why do you make me cheat on my South Beach diet Pioneer Woman???? Now I have to go and get the ingredients for this amazing looking dish and feed it to my boys for Labor Day brunch! I think I may use sausage, green peppers, and maybe diced potatoes though….
Pencil Writer On Sunday, August 31 at 2:01 pm
Hmmm. Greens. And I thought it was Basil. Bet Basil would be good in that stuff!
Glennis - Can't Believe We Ate On Sunday, August 31 at 2:24 pm
This one gets my vote! With hens in the yard, there are almost always fresh eggs (sometimes a few too many!). I can see being able to toss lots of goodies in there…and if you let it set overnight before baking I bet it would stand up so light and airy – oh YUM! I'm so hungry!
Jensamom On Sunday, August 31 at 2:52 pm
Adriana in AZ On Sunday, August 31 at 3:13 pm
When I saw the initial photo, I thought the greens were fresh basil. Now, wouldn't THAT be heavenly!?
Fun recipe.
Meg On Sunday, August 31 at 4:29 pm
That looks fantastic!
I am not at all a fan of bread pudding but I think I could be persuaded by that. A little fresh basil wouldn't hurt that recipe on bit.
Darlyne On Sunday, August 31 at 4:35 pm
Looks Delish and so pretty too!
Viviana On Sunday, August 31 at 5:03 pm
I think the thing about stale bread is that because it's dryer it absorves the taste of the other ingredients better.
MK On Monday, September 1 at 8:04 am
I made this yesterday and it was awesome!!
Annie On Monday, September 1 at 8:51 am
Um, where's the butter? I know you did use butter on the pan, but the directions just say greased, so theoretically (I like to say THAT one several times a day – I love the way it makes my kids shake their heads) if you hadn't done that, there would be no butter. There's none in the ingredient list. I know, I know, I haven't had my coffee yet.
While I'm sure this one's delish, it's not for me. Texture. I only like the egg/bread concoctions that have croutons in them. Bread + eggs = goo in my book. Sorry.
kobri On Monday, September 1 at 12:12 pm
Just made this for lunch with my mom and grandmother. It was delish! Three votes for this one. I think it will be really versatile too, can't wait to try different mixtures.
Katie On Monday, September 1 at 1:25 pm
Here's a substitution I DON'T recommend. I tried using 5 eggs and adding an extra half cup each of milk and yogurt. I thought this would be a balance similar to my favorite quiche, but I ended up having to cook it ten minutes longer and then broil the top to brown it. That would have been fine (and it did amount to delicious flavor and a satisfying custard consistancy), but unfortunately I got some watery run-off from the tomatoes.
Anybody else try using fewer eggs to better results?
Katie On Monday, September 1 at 1:29 pm
P.S. I had the same thought about the basil, so I used it and spinach. Definitely a good choice.
Nan On Tuesday, September 2 at 8:27 am
Made this for a little family brunch on Sunday along with Marlboro Man's favorite cookies and the smashed/crashed potatoes. I used blue cheese mostly with just a sprinkle of Colby on the top and doubled the recipe. IT WAS AMAZING! I don't know how good the lst place winning recipe was but this is going to be the winner that I keep making! Thanks, thanks, thanks for this recipe and the other two big hits as well!

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga sophomore Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.) recorded her sixth career double-double to lead to the Lady Mocs to a 55-48 win over Davidson Saturday night at the McKenzie Arena.
The Lady Mocs improve to 20-8 on the year, their 12th 20-win season in 13 years, and 15-4 in Southern Conference play with the regular season finale Monday against league-leading Appalachian State on the horizon. The Wildcats move to 20-8 overall and are 15-3 in conference action.
Hall had 16 points and 10 rebounds in the win including an 11-point spurt late in the second half to push Chattanooga to a 10-point lead. Senior Whitney Hood (Meridian, Miss.), who was honored prior to the game in Senior Night ceremonies, had 10 points in the game and junior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) scored 10 as well for the Lady Mocs and dished out two assists and grabbed two steals.
Chattanooga came out of halftime trailing 25-23 and managed to knot the game at 29-29 on consecutive layups from Hood with 14:30 to play. UTC then took a two-point lead on a jumper from sophomore Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) almost two-and-a-half minutes later to make it 31-29 with 12:09 on the clock.
Davidson put up four quick points from guards Barbara Sitton and Laura Murray to give the lead back to the Wildcats, but that would be their last. Hall scored 11 points in a 15-3 UTC run to give Chattanooga its largest lead of the game, 46-36, with 5:12 to play. Davidson cut the lead to 53-48 with one minute left in the game, but that is as close as they would get.
To start the game, Lambert drained a 3-pointer to put Chattanooga up by three. Davidson would go on to score the next seven points before Lambert's free throws stopped the run to make it 7-5 with 16:07 to play in the first.
Davidson kept up the offensive push and carried a 25-23 lead into the lockerroom despite outshooting Chattanooga 40%-25.8% and outrebounding the Lady Mocs 26-16 at the break.
Murray led the Wildcats with 12 points and seven rebounds while Barbara Sitton recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds along with three assists and four turnovers. Sophia Aleksandravicius was the third Davidson player in double figures with 10 points and had eight rebounds to go along with two assists and three blocked shots.
Chattanooga forced 16 Davidson turnovers and scored 11 points off the miscues while putting in 11 points off 10 offensive rebounds. Chattanooga's bench contributed 28 points with 16 from Hall who came off the bench in favor of senior Capriee Hood (Ft. Payne, Ala.) who got her first start for UTC on Senior Night. Senior Tenisha Townsend dished out four assists to raise her UTC top-10 total to 304 and had two of Chattanooga's 11 steals.
The Lady Mocs turned it over just eight times, tying a season-low and was 6-of-15 from the 3-point line. After shooting 25.8 percent in the first half, Chattanooga rebounded to shoot 48.1 percent in the second half and was 7-of-11 from the free throw line.
The Lady Mocs close out the season Monday night at home against Appalachian State at 7 p.m. The game will be carried live on ESPN3.com and will be the final home game for seniors Tenisha Townsend, Capriee Tucker, Whitney Hood and Kiara Smith who moved from the court to the team manager for her final season due to injuries.

"Dick Cheney watches television": The four previously unseen 9/11 photos that will make you hate the evil VP all over again
Topics: George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, News
Reagan blasts Bush
"My father crapped bigger ones than George Bush," says the former president's son, in a flame-throwing conversation about the war and the Bush administration's efforts to lay claim to the Reagan legacy.
Editor's note: As the Bush crowd worked shamelessly last week to wrap their man in the holy shroud of Ronald Reagan, the dead president's son, Ron Reagan, delivered an eloquent eulogy that discreetly signaled his conviction that Bush is no Reagan. "Dad was … a deeply, unabashedly religious man. But he never made the fatal mistake of so many politicians wearing his faith on his sleeve to gain political advantage," said Reagan at the burial service for his father on Friday, and there was no mistaking the meaning of his words.
In an interview with Salon in April 2003, Ron Reagan was much less subtle in his assessment of the Bush presidency, denouncing it as "overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt." Reagan's scorn for the man who would be his father was withering: "My father was a man — that's the difference between him and Bush."
With many Web sites and news publications referring to the Salon interview in recent days, we have reposted the interview for the convenience of our readers.
- – - – - – - – - – - -
By David Talbot
April 14, 2003 | The Bush inner circle would like to think of George W.'s presidency as more of an extension of Ronald Reagan's than of his one-term father's. Reagan himself, who has long suffered from Alzheimer's disease, is unable to comment on those who lay claim to his political legacy. But his son, Ron, is — and he's not pleased with the association.
"The Bush people have no right to speak for my father, particularly because of the position he's in now," he said during a recent interview with Salon. "Yes, some of the current policies are an extension of the '80s. But the overall thrust of this administration is not my father's — these people are overly reaching, overly aggressive, overly secretive, and just plain corrupt. I don't trust these people."
Reagan spoke with Salon from his home in Seattle, where he lives with his wife, Doria, a psychologist. A former ballet dancer ("At 45, I'm afraid those days are over"), he has worked in recent years as a magazine journalist and a TV personality, currently hosting dog shows for the Animal Planet network ("I live 'Best in Show'"). He and Doria have three cats, but no children ("They're like kids, without the tuition"). Though he never followed his father into politics, Reagan takes a strong interest in public issues, serving on the board of the Creative Coalition, an organization founded in 1989 by performers like Susan Sarandon and Christopher Reeve to politically mobilize entertainers and artists. Reagan recently moderated a Creative Coalition panel discussion in San Francisco on the topic of free expression during wartime, featuring Alec Baldwin on the left and Michael Medved on the right (and a smoldering Sean Penn in the audience).
Reagan, still as lean as he was in his dancing days, has a sharp tongue — but like his father, he has a knack for softening his barbs with a charming affability and disarming sense of humor.
Reagan took a swipe at Bush during the 2000 GOP convention in Philadelphia, which featured a tribute to his father, telling the Washington Post's Lloyd Grove, "The big elephant sitting in the corner is that George W. Bush is simply unqualified for the job… What's his accomplishment? That he's no longer an obnoxious drunk?" Since then he's been quiet about the current occupant of the White House — until now.
Some observers have compared Bush's persona as an intellectually challenged but politically gifted leader to that of Reagan. But the younger Reagan vehemently rejects the analogy. "The gunslinging cowboy, the actor who just read his lines — that stereotype doesn't fit who my father really was.
"My father had decades of experience in public life. He was president of his union, he campaigned for presidential candidates, he served two terms as governor of California — and that was not a ceremonial office as it is in Texas. And he had already run for president, against Ford in '76, nearly unseating the sitting president in his own party. He knew where he was coming from, he had spent years thinking and speaking about his views. He didn't have to ask Dick Cheney what he thought.
"Sure, he wasn't a technocrat like Clinton. But my father was a man — that's the difference between him and Bush. To paraphrase Jack Palance, my father crapped bigger ones than George Bush."
Reagan says he doesn't have anything personal against Bush. He met him only once, at a White House event during the Reagan presidency. "At least my wife insists we did — he left absolutely no impression on me. But Doria remembers him very negatively — I can't repeat what she said about him, I'd rather not use profanity. I do remember Jeb — a big fella, seemed to be the brightest of the bunch. And of course their parents were very charming."
But Reagan has strong feelings about Bush's policies, including the war in Iraq, which he ardently opposes. "Nine-11 gave the Bush people carte blanche to carry out their extreme agenda — and they didn't hesitate for a moment to use it. I mean, by 9/12 Rumsfeld was saying, 'Let's hit Iraq.' They've used the war on terror to justify everything from tax cuts to Alaska oil drilling."
Of course, Reagan's father was also known for his military buildup and aggressive foreign policy. "Yes," he concedes, "there are some holdovers from my dad's years, like Elliott Abrams and, my God, Admiral Poindexter, who's now keeping watch over us all. But that observation doesn't hold up. My father gave a speech a couple years after he left the White House calling for 'an international army of conscience' to deal with failed states where atrocities are taking place. He had no thought that America should be the world's policeman. I know that for a fact from conversations I had with him. He believed there must be an international force to intervene where great human tragedy was occurring. Rwanda would have been a prime example, where a strike force capable of acting quickly could have gone in to stop the slaughter.
"Now George and Dick and Rummy and Wolfy all have a very different idea about America's role in the world. It was laid out by [Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul] Wolfowitz back in '92 — Iraq is the center of the Middle East, its axis, and it's of such geo-strategic importance that we can't leave it in the hands of Saddam. We need to forcibly change that regime and use Iraq as a forward base for American democracy, setting up a domino effect in the region, and so on. My father, on the other hand, was well aware of the messiness of the Middle East, particularly after [the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in] Lebanon."
Reagan says his opinions about the war were not changed by the rapid fall of Baghdad. "Look, whether or not Saddam was a bad guy, or whether the Iraqi people were terribly oppressed, was never the issue. I mean I'm happy for the Iraqis, but that's not what this was all about. Nor was the military conclusion ever in doubt; this was the Dallas Cowboys playing a high school team. Their army was a third the size it was in '91, and it didn't give us much trouble then.
"And the weapons of mass destruction? Whatever happened to them? I'm sure we'll find some," he laughs. "They're being flown in right now in a C-130.
"There were, and will be, a lot of people killed over there. And if you don't care about the Iraqi casualties, what about the American? We stand to lose more people in the next months of occupation than we lost in the weeks of war. One of the reasons we escaped largely unscathed so far was because our military moved so fast. But now we're sitting targets — we have to establish bases, patrol the streets, guard checkpoints. We're sitting targets for suicide bombers and other terrorists."
Reagan's parents were notoriously remote from their four children. Ron Jr. reportedly had the closest relations with his parents and he remains close with his mother, Nancy Reagan, who as the keeper of the Reagan flame is often called upon to dedicate public sites bearing her husband's name. Reagan says his mother shares his "distrust of some of these [Bush] people. She gets that they're trouble in all kinds of ways. She doesn't like their religious fervor, their aggression."
Reagan says his family feels particularly alienated from the Republican Party over its opposition to embryonic stem cell research, which could have significant benefit for Alzheimer patients like his father. "Now ignorance is one thing, ignorance can be cured. But many of the Republican leaders opposing this research know better, people like [Senate Majority Leader] Bill Frist, who's a doctor, for God's sake. People like him are blocking it to pander to the 20 percent of their base who are mouth-breathers. And that's unconscionable — there are lives at stake here. Stem cell research can revolutionize medicine, more than anything since antibiotics."
Reagan, who says the label "progressive" would fit him, does not belong to a political party. "I'm certainly not a Republican; I couldn't belong to any party that had leaders like Tom DeLay. And the Democrats are too busy trying to out-Republican the Republicans."
His father entered politics at a relatively late stage in his life, after careers as a sports broadcaster, actor and General Electric pitchman. Has Reagan ever considered running for office? No, he insists, "I have no political ambitions. For one thing, I'm not interested in raising all that money. It's just not the life I want to lead. When is the last time you heard a politician speak his mind? McCain? Yes, he came close. But I once asked him at a Creative Coalition meeting, 'You talk passionately about this nexus of money and influence that is corrupting our democracy. Why don't you name names?' His response was a demurral.
"I have no problem with public service. And yes, better people should be running for office. But personally I just can't see myself doing it, to live in Washington D.C., the whole package. I was immersed in that my whole life. I saw politicians up close and there were so many who just repulsed me."
What if a group of concerned citizens approached him and helped raise money for his entry into politics — would that make a difference? "You mean like they did with George W.? 'Hey, you've got name recognition, that's all that matters — we'll give you millions of dollars to run!' Imagine coming to a man with just two years' experience in public office, and a ceremonial one at that. Imagine installing such a blank slate in the presidency of the United States! This is a regency, not a presidency.
"And they told us, 'Don't worry about W. not knowing anything, good old Dick Cheney will be his minder.' Dick Cheney? And this was going to be compassionate conservatism? Dick Cheney is to the right of Genghis Khan, he wants to drill in your backyard, he wants to deny black people their rights –it was all there in his voting record for us to see. What were we, rubes?"
While Reagan rejects a political career, he clearly doesn't shy from speaking out. What if GOP conservatives, who still lionize his father as the greatest president of the 20th century, pressure him to shut up? "That wouldn't be a smart thing for anyone to do."

Im currently taking Cellcept 500mg twice daily, Plaquenil 200mg twice daily, Prednisone 30 mg/day, Phenergan 25mg 3 x day as needed for nausea, Vicodin 5/500 2 x day as needed for pain, Vitamins, Excedrin Migraine for Headache. I have a daughter with special needs and I dont have much time to participate in a support group. I would love to, however there isnt much time. My chief complaints with this disease currently are extreme fatigue, inability to sleep, pain in lower back and at the base of my hairline at the back of my neck, and a pressure feeling that I have from my upper stomach to my knee caps, and theres always the neurological part where I feel like Im already 98 because I cant remember anything or I get disoriented. Half of the time Im unsure of whether I suffer from more disease activity or side effects of medicine and which is worse at this point. I been hospitalized only once from complications of Lupus this past March. I was in the hospital for one week with temperatures of 104 & 105. I don't remember much, but when I was awake, all I thought about was my children and making it so they wouldn't be alone. I've spent the last 6 years in denial trying to convince myself that I'm no different. I'm tired of running from myself and glad God spared my life earlier this year. I recognize myself and my disease for what they are and now I am just looking for answers, ideas, and help to ease the challenges of surviving with SLE while being a single mother, helping my child with special needs to succeed in life, having a full time job, and experiencing small fleeting moments of happiness.

Merck Foundation stops funding Boy Scouts
Posted By Alesha Williams Boyd On December 10, 2012 @ 2:23 pm In education | Comments Disabled
Merck's charitable foundation has stopped giving money to the Boy Scouts of America.
The Whitehouse Station-based Merck Foundation says the Boy Scouts' exclusion of gays from its ranks and leadership positions conflicts with giving guidelines and the company's nondiscrimination policy.
The foundation says it will reconsider giving money to the Boy Scouts if they change their policy on sexual orientation.

Research Interests
Research in the Price Lab focuses on the population ecology and conservation of semi-aquatic and aquatic animals. Most of our research centers on reptiles and amphibians, groups that are experiencing severe and unprecedented population declines. Although we have broad interests, we often conduct research in the following areas: 1) examining the resistance and resilience of semi-aquatic reptile and amphibian populations to land-use and hydrologic change, and 2) assessing the influence of biophysical conditions on population vital rates, such as survivorship, recruitment, and temporal emigration, and behaviors (e.g., movement). Additionally, we have strong interests in wildlife monitoring and management, freshwater biology, forest ecology, urban ecology, vertebrate natural history and landscape ecology.

A state like no other. Israel, once seen as a refuge, has become one of the few places where Jews are attacked simply for being Jews. Geoffrey Wheatcroft on the troubled history of a homeland
Jacob's Gift: a journey into the heart of belonging
Jonathan Freedland Hamish Hamilton, 395pp,
Jacob's Gift: a journey into the heart of belonging
Jonathan Freedland Hamish Hamilton, 395pp,
by Geoffrey Wheatcroft Published
One of the best things Bernard Levin ever wrote was an essay for the New Statesman in 1965 called: "Am I a Jew?" He knew the answer perfectly well, but he wanted to examine what "this means to me", as a man who did not believe in race and had neither any interest in Jewish culture (beyond a fondness for Jewish food and Jewish jokes) nor any religious belief. As to the obvious tests of group loyalty, Levin thought that the Final Solution was wicked, but no more so than Stalin's slaughter of innocent millions. And he could not see that his attitude towards Israel distinguished him from a Gentile of similar political outlook: he admired the achievement while expressing "the strongest condemnation of her crime against her original Arab population and the campaign of lies she has waged ever since on the subject".
Forty years later, the difficulties Levin raised are more pertinent than ever. Every Jew has to ask some version of his question, to address the two great central events of modern Jewish history - the murder of the European Jews and the creation of a Jewish state - and to come to terms with the problems of identity and loyalty. The issues have become sharper, because things have not worked out quite as expected (when do they?). The popularity that Israel once enjoyed has faded, notably among the liberal left, and the exultant identification in which Diaspora Jewry basked following the Six Day War of 1967 has been replaced by a new set of anxieties and problems.
Although Jonathan Freedland would scarcely borrow Levin's title - he is engaged in Jewish life and faith, keeping kosher and observing high holy days - he, too, wants to find out what being Jewish means, what it has meant, and what it will mean to his young son Jacob. Freedland examines this through what is in part a fascinating and moving family memoir. Most British as well as American Jews are descended from the great westward migration that lasted little more than 30 years between 1882 and the First World War, and which now provides such a fascinating pattern of interwoven relationships and unlikely connections across three continents (Lauren Bacall and Binyamin Netanyahu are cousins).
More peripatetically than most, the various families from which the author descends moved between their home town of Dunilovich (in Lithuania), London and the Holy Land. Freed-land tells his story around three people in particular: two of his great-uncles, Nathan and Mickey Mindel, and his mother, born Sara Hocherman. Menachem Yitzhak Mindel came from Dunilovich to the East End as a young boy. Renamed Nathan Isidore, he was quickly Anglicised at school, at University College London and then in the army. Before the First World War ended, he was posted to what was shortly to become British Mandatory Palestine. It was there that Nat found his ambiguous destiny, as an official devoted to his adoptive country, but also an enthusiast exhilarated by the Zionist idea.
Lasting less than 30 years, the Palestinian Mandate was one of the sourest episodes in imperial history. The British won no sympathy and deserved none, having made incompatible promises to Arabs and Jews. It is impossible not to feel sorry for a man such as Nat, who clearly tried to act even-handedly, but who nevertheless ended up getting it in the neck from all sides. In its sad way, his story illustrates the problem for the most high-minded and least bigoted British officials, who discovered that "the underlying philosophy of nearly all Englishmen", as A J P Taylor put it, "did not work. In Palestine, there was irreconcilable conflict between Arabs and Jews, not a community of interests which the two peoples merely failed to recognise by mistake."
The other kinsman found a different cause. Mick Mindel became a trade-union organiser and a communist, and a bitter story it is. Freedland's weakness as a journalist tends to be his gullibility, and he is far too indulgent towards Mick. Many Jews were captivated by communism, but most became disillusioned, if not by the mounting evidence of Stalin's brutality before the Second World War, then certainly by his undisguised persecution of Russian Jews after it. Freedland assures us that Mick had his own doubts, and he conveys these in the form of not very plausible imaginary dialogue.
A cockney policeman speaks in a voice with "the timbre of beer and pies". When the Nazi-Soviet pact is explained to the comrades in 1939, Mick whispers: "Ours is not to reason why," with "a sneer in his voice". (Does Freedland actually know this?) Ten years later, grim news comes from Russia about the death of the great Yiddish actor Solomon Mikhoels. "They're saying Mikhoels has been assassinated," Mick is informed. "Who by? Fascist agitators?" "Mick, they're saying he was killed by agents of Stalin." Mindel would not, in fact, have heard about the appalling judicial murder of the former leaders of the Soviet Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in 1952, as Freedland implies, because their trial was strictly secret and the news only leaked out years later. Mick's story could have been told with an appropriate mixture of pathos and sarcasm, but surely not with any real sympathy. "Mick never tore up his party card," Freedland writes. "For that he paid a heavy price" - but not as heavy, one is bound to add, as that paid by many Jewish communists living in Russia rather than England.
More truly poignant is the story of Sara. Freedland's mother is a woman who has known very deep sorrow, poverty, bereavement and illness. When the war began, her school in Hackney was evacuated to Shefford in Hertfordshire, while her mother, Feige, remained in London. On 27 March 1945, at the very end of the war, Feige and 120 other Jews were killed when a V2 rocket hit their block of flats. It was at a recent ceremony commemorating the 60th anniversary of this tragedy that Oona King, the present local Labour MP, who is also Jewish, was pelted with eggs.
In his penultimate chapter, "In Search of Zion", Freedland looks at the extraordinary cause in which many of his family members were caught up, and with which he feels more than a loose connection. He unarguably says that, for many Jews throughout the world, Israel "has become central to their . . . identity, outstripping the Torah, even Judaism itself, as the force that commands their loyalty". The way that ever greater numbers of people openly question the right of a Jewish state to exist "hurts more perhaps than many non-Jews realise", and is distressing even to Jews who recognise that legitimate criticism may be directed at what is "a state like any other".
But surely the whole problem is that Israel, whatever else may be said about it, is quite obviously not like any other state. This is the conundrum that Jacqueline Rose re-examines in her remarkable book The Question of Zion. Enormous amounts of news coverage and polemic are devoted to Israel, and the conflict in the Holy Land is the single most bitterly contentious struggle on earth. And yet, as Rose points out, little attention is given to the roots of the Zionist movement and the impassioned debates that once surrounded it: "While Israel barely leaves the front page of the daily papers, Zionism itself is hardly ever talked about."
In the early decades of the 20th century, many Jews talked about little else. Was political Zionism the right course, and was a national state the proper destiny of the Jewish people? Many Jews passionately opposed the idea, though their opposition took various forms. Freedland mentions some of these as personified by his family: the Marxist objection to exclusive nationalism, and the fundamental religious objection. The latter is now quite forgotten except by zealous Hassidim, who are treated as fanatics in Israel, but in the late 19th and early 20th centuries almost all Orthodox rabbis and their pious followers believed that although the restoration of the Jewish people to the promised land of Israel would one day arrive through the redemptive coming of the Messiah, any human anticipation of it was a form of blasphemy.
Just what a strange creed Zionism was, and how unlike other nations its out-come, are part of Rose's theme. Two of her chapter titles - "Zionism as Messianism (Vision)" and "Zionism as Psychoanalysis (Critique)" - illustrate this exceptionalism: it is hard to imagine similar phrases being applied to other national movements. But then Zionism was, uniquely, as much a psychological and social project as a political one, intended to rescue the Jews from what Zionists considered to be their fallen state.
Today the most widespread objection to Zionism is that "original crime" against the Palestinians. Both Freedland and Rose look askance at the notorious phrase "a land without people for a people without land", but perhaps it once was not as scandalous as it now seems. When Theodor Herzl wrote The Jewish State in 1896, the inhabitants of Palestine numbered barely half a million, which is to say, not much more than the combined Jewish populations of Budapest and Vienna, Herzl's native and adoptive cities. It was surely tempting to see it as an empty place waiting to be filled, much like California or New Zealand.
While the most penetrating Jewish critics - Ahad Ha'am, Martin Buber, Hannah Arendt, Hans Kohn - did not neglect the effect Zionism would have on the Arabs, they were at least as concerned about the effect it would have on the Jews. Some were deeply attached to an idea of Zionism as a path to moral and spiritual rebirth, but were dismayed by its political and military manifestations. Buber lived to see the creation of Israel in 1948, and to call it a "catastrophe". He warned against the injustice that was being inflicted on the Arabs, but also predicted that the new nation would not only be permanently under attack, but that, as Rose paraphrases it, "by the mere fact of becoming a normal nation, it will corrupt its inner life and will not survive".
"More gravely, Zionism can seem to have failed even in its minimal purposes," Freedland writes. "It was meant to be a refuge, the one place in the world where Jews would not be attacked simply because they were Jews. And yet, at the turn of the 21st century, Israel had become one of the very few places in the world where Jews were attacked simply because they were Jews." This, too, was foreseen by critics who questioned the wisdom of gathering the Jews into a place of great danger: in 1958, Kohn pointed out that "nowhere have Jews felt so exposed as in Palestine".
Still, if some writers are to be believed, Jews are now better off even in Gaza than in Europe. Gabriel Schoenfeld's The Return of Anti-Semitism, like several other recent American books, takes the line that anti-Zionism is illegitimate in principle, and in practice is a cover for anti-Semitism; Israel is a victim and a whipping boy, judged by unfair double standards; her attempts to defend herself are never set in context; the international media are poisonously biased; Europe is once again a hotbed of anti-Semitism.
Although there is some evidence to give colour to these charges, they are largely what lawyers call bad points, or dialectical own goals. Arab newspapers, and publishers and broadcasters, too, often pour out frightful venom, which is lapped up by some Muslim immigrants in Europe; but then it is from European Muslims that most of the danger comes. A recent European Union report on anti-Semitic attacks came to a conclusion worthy of Lord Hutton in the way it flew in the face of its own evidence, concluding that unruly whites were responsible for most of the attacks, when the truth - which has become politically unacceptable - is that they are largely the work of disaffected, non-white Muslim youths.
Plainly, there is today a vast gulf bet-ween European and American attitudes towards the conflict in the Holy Land, but it is hard to reconcile the idea that European sympathy for the Palestinians is no more than a new manifestation of old anti-Semitism with the fact that countries such as Holland, where that sympathy is strongest, are also those where anti-Semitism is weakest. Schoenfeld plays one of the latest variations on the theme when he argues that criticism of the Washington neoconservatives is yet more bigotry. "Winks about the dark force behind government policy gave way to 'Jewish' and other explicit synonyms," he writes - a point David Brooks of the New York Times made more wittily when he wrote that "neo-con" is now an abbreviation in which "con is short for 'conservative' and neo is . . . short for 'Jewish'".
But neoconservatism is an episode, an important and interesting one, in the in-tellectual and political history of Jewish America, and it is impudent to call anyone who mentions this a bigot. Schoenfeld suggests that only racist crackpots ever query the commitment of senior Washington officials, but it was Jack Straw, himself a descendant of Jewish immigrants, who said of Lewis Libby, Vice-President Dick Cheney's chief of staff: "It's a toss-up whether Libby is working for the Israelis or the Americans on any given day."
Even more damaging to Schoenfeld's case is his failure to distinguish between different shades of criticism. When Tom Paulin compares the Israeli army with the German SS and A N Wilson also accuses it of genocide, that is spiteful and ignorant, but many critics of Israel are neither. Schoenfeld comes close to claiming that anyone who objects to Israeli policy in the West Bank is a neo-Nazi, and he reaches the height of absurdity when he comes to "an especially painful subject - namely, the degree to which such anti-Semitic ideas have been propagated or actually endorsed by some Jews".
After rounding up the usual subjects - Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein and Michael Lerner - Schoenfeld adds, in a wonderfully barmy passage, that "more extreme than Wieseltier is Tony Judt". Leon Wieseltier is the author of Kaddish, a long and compelling meditation on Jewish identity, and he is by most standards a loyal supporter of Israel. His offences, in Schoenfeld's eyes, are to have supported the peace process and a Palestinian state, and to have dismissed the idea that Europe is awash with anti-Semitism. Judt is a distinguished historian whose crime is to have voiced considered objections to coarse and regressive Jewish nationalism. What neither they nor other such commentators have made is a simple point that demolishes writers such as Schoenfeld: if criticism of Israel, however trenchant or one-sided, is treated as anti-Semitism, this represents a profound failure on the part of Zionism.
From various Jewish writers, we are indeed now hearing echoes of Kohn and Buber, and also reverberations of the objections once voiced by emancipated Jews in Europe and America. Claude Montefiore was speaking for many proud and pious Jews when, in the course of a fierce though unsuccessful attempt to forestall the Balfour Declaration in 1917, he deplored any idea of investing settlers in Palestine with "rights in excess of those enjoyed by the rest of the population"; this would surely "prove a veritable calamity for the Jewish people", for whom the principle of equal rights was vital. "The establishment of a Jewish nationality in Palestine, founded in this theory of Jewish homelessness," he said, "must have the effect throughout the world of stamping the Jews as strangers in their native lands, and of undermining their hard-won position as citizens and nationals of those lands."
More than a hundred years after Herzl launched his project, and nearly 60 years after the Jewish state of his dreams was born, these debates have come full circle. It is easy to understand the anguish of Jews trapped in a dilemma as Israel grows ever more isolated. But then read those words of Montefiore's again, and ask whether he might not have had a point.
Geoffrey Wheatcroft's book The Controversy of Zion won an American National Jewish Book Award. His latest book is The Strange Death of Tory England (Allen Lane, the Penguin Press)

1 (16 ounce) can
sliced beets, drained with liquid reserved
2 teaspoons
lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon
1 tablespoon
brown sugar
1 teaspoon
tart green apple, peeled and sliced
They tasted really good, and I hate beets. My husband almost threw up though, but he detests beets... I made him try it to set a good example for our 3 year old. Our 1 year old LOVES them!!! The longer you simmer them, the better they taste. I made them an hour ahead of time, and just warmed them up, and they were better than when I first cooked them. Nice recipe!
Good...for beets.

If you MUST eat beets, this is the way to go. It seems I went temporarily insane while at the grocery and picked up a can of beets. But, after desperately searching for a recipe that would make beets NOT taste like beets, I found it! I went a little heavy on the apple. :) hehe
I loved this recipe. The color of the dish is so beautiful to compliment a holiday meal. The sauce thickens up nicely and the flavors are wonderful.
I enjoy beets but have never cooked them myself. I made this recipe and it turned out delicious. I threw in a handful of chopped walnuts and pecans at the end just to add some crunch and it tastes pretty great. I will definitely make this again.
This was a fun recipe to start with, I challenged myself to run w/ fresh beets but kept the concept beyond that all Michele's - very innovative and fresh - I'd have never experimented w/ Beets and Apples had it not been for this post - Thanks Michele - you created a challenge for me w/o knowing it!!! ~Jeff
substituted fresh peach for apple & slow-cooked with all the juice from the can for 30 mins. excellent. could double the fruit content too to further disguise the beets but was yummy 1 can to 1 fresh fruit
I make this quite often - an easy, delicious and colorful side dish.

Stretch mark removal home techniques have become reliable means of eliminating such marks on a persons body. It has always been rumored that men or women who have these skin marks spend a lot of money in trying to remove them. However, with the development of these remedies, this has been well taken care of. It is amazing if a person can put up with these markings but there are still a number of individuals who would love to eliminate them without using any costly means.
The best way to treat these skin defects is through taking a healthy diet. A lot of water always keeps the body hydrated enabling all the system to function as required. It is recommended that a person takes at least eight glasses of water each day. The skin remains elastic as long as the body is well hydrated.
Proper consumption of vitamins A, E, C and zinc gives nutrition to a persons skin. Food that is rich in these kinds of vitamins and minerals include the fish liver oil, vegetables, fruits, eggs, leafy greens and beans. A diet that is balanced and which contains these essentials food makes the skin healthy and heals this skin condition.
Another remedy is to rub olive on the part affected until it starts improving. Avocado oil, castor oil and almond oil can also be used for the same purpose. These oils are best utilized both in prevention and treatment procedures. Either way, they are sure to keep the skin in a better condition that doing nothing at all.
Best stretch mark removal creams
Cocoa butter is another effective means and helps prevent appearance of any stretch marks especially for a woman who is gaining weight. Weight gaining can result from pregnancy or other health issues. This can also be used for both prevention and reduction of the marks once they are already on skin.
Stretch mark removal cream home remedies are essential for overall skin health. They are inexpensive techniques and have shown to be reliable in a number of cases. However, it requires dedication and commitment to stick to specific schedule routines on their application.
All the products has been approved by the FDA

How Much Will Iran Gain from the Nuclear Deal?
If the long-term consequences of the administration's Iran deal are murky, the short-term results are crystal clear: on Implementation Day, estimated to occur in a matter of months, sanctions against Iran will be lifted and Iranian assets that have been frozen abroad will begin to flow back to Tehran. This is, of course, why the mullahs made the deal. Sanctions imposed by the U.S., the E.U. and the U.N. have »

In essence, the bill: * requires state and local jurisdictions to notify the federal government when a criminal alien is in their custody »
Damned If You Don't
The American Left's foundational foreign policy belief is that enmity toward the U.S. is the result of our interventions abroad. Therefore, the solution to problems overseas is simple: stop intervening. Capital-L libertarians often express or imply similar views.

Iran: Of Course We'll Continue to Support Terrorists!
The worst feature of President Obama's disastrous deal with Iran is that it provides immediate sanctions relief that will cause $100 billion to $150 to flow into the regime's coffers, and will lead to substantial improvement in Iran's economy, which has been badly hurt by the sanctions that the U.N., the U.S. and others have imposed. This means that opposition to the ayatollahs' rule will be weakened, and Iran will »
Senate Hearing Highlights Problem of Illegal Immigrant Crime
Today the Senate Judiciary Committee conducted a hearing on the Obama administration's abandonment of the country's immigration laws.

The Senate committee heard from a series of family members of victims of illegal alien crime: The Democrats »

Which Party's Fringe Is a Threat to Victory in 2016?
I haven't said much about Donald Trump, other than to note that he was right about the problem of illegal immigrant crime. This is because I don't take Trump seriously as a presidential candidate.

Even before yesterday's shootings, Pew found that 52% of Americans are "very concerned" about Islamic extremism in the »

Traceroute fails at first hop = Mac or router?
View Single Post
Member Since: Jan 26, 2010
Posts: 9
I'm in eastern Australia, on a fast cable plan from Telstra. This Mac is hard wired to the Telstra-supplied Motorola SBG900 router, while three other Macs connect to it via an Apple network/Airport Extreme.
Everything is working fine, except for some latency issues in an online game (World of Warcraft) played on this Mac. As part of my investigation of that, I used Network Utility to perform a traceroute, initially to the game server then to various other sites. Same result in each case - the first hop, and every subsequent hop, is 3 asterisks = failure.
So I spoke to Telstra, and the not-overly-impressive tech eventually told me that this result means the problem is with my Mac, not the router.
But the same first-hop-failure occurs when I try a traceroute from any of the other Macs, which connect wirelessly. I'm thinking, as your average IT dolt, that this might be because the Mac network connects to the modem via the hard-wired Mac anyway, so maybe the tech can still be right.
Does his insistence that it is not a router problem, make sense? If it IS my Mac, how do I find out what the problem is?

Branch named to state commission
In January, Gov. Pat McCrory appointed Jim Branch of Oxford to the North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service.
This will allow Branch an opportunity to share on a wider stage what he has learned over the past nine years working with community organizations in Granville County.
"We're delighted to have Jim's knowledge and experience on the commission," said commission chairwoman Ellen Whitlock. "Each seat is filled for a certain kind of expertise. He holds the seat reserved for expertise in the educational, training and developmental needs of youth, particularly disadvantaged youth."
Branch knows about volunteerism and community service. He is active with several community organizations. He is a member of the corporate board of directors of Boys and Girls Clubs of North Central North Carolina, which serves Granville, Vance, Franklin and Warren counties.
"He was very instrumental in getting the Granville unit off the ground," said April Scott, interim chief professional officer of the organization.
She described the effort Branch made to help the local Boys and Girls Club obtain a building as a center for activities.
Branch persuaded the Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company to donate its old building after it moved to new quarters. The large lot the facility occupies was a bonus.
"With that building came some empty land that we're going to use to start a garden for kids to tend," Branch said.
In another of his community undertakings, Branch is food room coordinator for Area Congregations In Ministry, the Granville County-based food bank.
"He got us into backpack buddies," said Mary Anne Lumpkins, who works with Branch on ACIM activities.
That project provides food for children at their schools on Friday to guarantee that they have nourishing meals over the weekend. Branch said a backpack contains food for two days. School counselors identify children who need extra nutrition during the weekend.
ACIM uses several strategies to acquire food for its distribution efforts.
"Jim made us aware of how to get food for the food bank," Lumpkins said.
Part of the food ACIM distributes comes from the Department of Agriculture, Branch said. The rest comes from donations from individuals and churches.
A member of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Oxford, Branch represents his congregation on the executive committee of the Granville-Vance Faith Initiative for Community Action, which coordinates the activities of a number of congregations to improve health, education and economic development in the community.
"It's a process of getting like-minded people together to improve the lives of people in the county," he said. "We go to people and ask for help. We say, 'Let's do this thing and explain the merits.' They volunteer time, donate money. I can't think of a time I was turned down."
Branch was born in Chapel Hill, where his father, James Arthur Branch, was business manager of the University of North Carolina.
He attended public schools in Chapel Hill and completed high school at the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tenn. Returning to Chapel Hill, he attended UNC, graduating with a bachelor's degree in English and political science.
He married Mary Evans of Oxford.
After working for Colonial Press and the Chapel Hill Weekly, he accepted an offer from Siemens Automobile Corporation and moved to Ann Arbor, Mich., where he worked in sales and marketing for 32 years.
Nine years ago, he retired, and he and Mary moved to Oxford.
"When I first got here, I got into Leadership Granville," he said. "I was especially impressed with the non-profits. I got to see what they're doing. That's what impressed me, the dedication of the people that ran them on a shoe string."
Branch said the Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service has met twice officially since he became a member. It will develop a state plan to encourage community service as a way to improve the quality of life for residents of North Carolina.
Whitlock, the group's chairwoman, described the commission as part of a national effort that includes a similar commission in each of the 50 states. Commission members are appointed by the governor and serve at the pleasure of the governor.
"I was appointed by Gov. Perdue and re-appointed by Gov. McCrory," she said.
The idea of community service focuses on problem solving without going to government, Branch said.
"The grassroots approach makes us more attuned to what the needs are," he said.
His appointment to the commission was met with approval by his local co-workers.
Former Granville County commissioner and current ACIM volunteer James Lumpkins said, "He's qualified, and he gets the job done."
Meanwhile, Branch will continue his volunteer efforts in Granville County.
"I don't expect to change the world," he said. "I do what I can and drag some people along with me."
