Why University of Wisconsin?
- Integrated School Model
- Interdisciplinary Approach
- Degree Flexibility
- Receive Personal Attention
- World-class University Resources
- Learning Beyond the Classroom
- Madison as a City
The University of Wisconsin Medical School became the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health in 2005, signaling the plan to develop a revolutionary new model that unites public health and medicine. The Vision with this model has been to create a superior education, research, and community engagement enterprise that integrates biomedical sciences, care of individual patients, and the health of diverse populations. This new integrated approach seeks to serve as a national model. A Guiding Principle with this model was that we would not establish an independent, free-standing school of public health, and then attempt to build bridges between it and our Medical School. We also dismiss preconceived notions about public health and medicine, fields that historically have functioned independently, and will use our new integrated model to solve our most pressing health issues.
Our degree programs are for those wanting to become excellent, well-rounded health practitioners and/or researchers! Our degrees are appropriate regardless of your health interests; our students explore the fields of epidemiology, public health, health policy, social and behavioral health, health services research, biostatistics, environmental health, and more! We take pride in preparing our students in a very holistic way about the various aspects of public and population health. In this way, they have a more complete understanding of various public health issues and how to initiate prevention efforts effectively or conduct quality research.
Our degree programs can be tailored to your specific health interests due to the flexibility of our degrees. All students complete a set of core courses, but beyond these required courses students are afforded great latitude in course selection towards electives related to their own specific interests. Our programs also offer a variety of concentration areas and dual degree options to further enhance your educational goals and provide degree specialization.
Upon entry to our graduate/professional programs, students are matched with a faculty advisor. He/She helps students hone their interests, assists with identifying field experience and research projects, provides support for career development, and links students to the greater campus community. We are proud of the sense of community we have built by offering smaller degree programs. Our faculty, staff, and community colleagues are committed to serving students, and are friendly and accessible. Students have the benefit of daily dialogues and personalized training from renowned faculty. In addition, seminars and integrated discussion groups allow for increased interaction with core faculty and community lecturers. Finally, the work of students is valued as evidenced by their entries in the annual department poster session, participation in public health symposia, authorship of publications, and involvement in community/research projects.
Regardless of your interest in research or practice, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a wealth of resources at your disposal. University of Wisconsin-Madison ranks as one of the most prolific research universities in the world, placing second among American public universities for research expenditures. In addition, our campus boasts literally dozens of centers or institutes on a multitude of research/outreach topics including one in our very own department -- the Population Health Institute. Our interdisciplinary focus allows students the flexibility to work with world-class projects/faculty in the department, but also with a wide array of exciting projects/faculty across campus and within the community. Finally, the Health Sciences Learning Center is one of the nation's premier facilities of its type and is the site of classroom instruction and clinical skills training for the UW School of Medicine and Public Health and UW School of Nursing. It also houses the Ebling Library as well as academic and administrative offices – including the Center for Global Health and the Institute for Clinical and Translational Research.
Students have the advantage of learning from people who "practice" public health. A number of faculty in the department have been identified in state and community public health agencies and actively contribute their knowledge and skills to our degree programs and our students. These faculty members often serve as guest lecturers, discussion group leaders, and preceptors. The field experience requirement of the MPH program helps students gain additional hands-on experience and provides them the opportunity to serve and benefit the community by applying their classroom knowledge to real world public health issues. There are also researchers in the department who lead efforts on campus in the creation, consolidation, and translation of new and existing knowledge into community-based practice to improve healthcare delivery and outcomes. Finally, all students are encouraged to translate what they have learned in the classroom into presentations or posters and to present their professional work at conferences.
The campus rolls along Lake Mendota, with wooded hills and the busy city streets of downtown Madison. Madison is small enough to navigate easily, but with cultural resources and amenities that rival those of cities many times its size. As the state capital of Wisconsin, Madison provides a vibrant downtown area and also a wealth of recreational resources – such as the five area lakes, over 200 parks, and numerous biking trails. The city's location in south central Wisconsin also makes for convenient access to Milwaukee, Chicago, and Minneapolis. Madison also continues to be on everyone's short-list as one of the top communities in which to live, work, play, and raise a family. Check on a sampling of the accolades Madison has recently received. Also, feel free to check out the Guide to Graduate Student Life -- a comprehensive guide created for students by students all about Madison and the university campus.

I'm a bit in a bad mood about politics so I decided to collect all this data to show you the 100% objective reason why Government and Politics sucks so bad. And it's in a pie chart, everyone loves pie charts!
I usually stay out of politics on boards like this, but I really don't know how many of you are aware of what kind of people your government is actually made up of.
And for all of you in Canada or the UK that are laughing at the miserability (rightfully so) of the makeup of American politicians, as a Canadian I recommend you look in the mirror before laughing. Unfortunately this demographic is similar all over the western world that people who make up government a lot of them are worthless lawyers and career politicians.
Now do you know why politics in the western world is usually shit? It's because most of the people you elect are lawyers which is one of if not the MOST morally bankrupt occupation in the world. More over you are electing politicians who have NO REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE in ANYTHING, and just became a politician. Why on earth would you make a 25 year old part of making decisions for millions of people? You think he/she understands what life is like with trials and tribulations of multiple daily problems?
You wonder why current US health care bill is having so many problems? Maybe it's because you have fucking lawyers trying to put it in rather than doctors. You think a lawyer understands how the health care industry works and how to make it treat as many people as possible without costing a lot? Maybe you should talk to the 4 people who actually have medical degrees and HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN THE MEDICAL FIELD?
Oh wait we do have 4 of them Jon Boozman, John Barrasso, Tom Coburn, and Rand Paul. Guess what? All 4 of them oppose the Affordable Care Act? Do you think 4 people who actually hold Medical School Degrees and have worked in the medical field have a much more informed opinion of what the hell would actually work then Obama who is another fucking lawyer with a law school degree?
If you actually want the raw excel data I put together you can find it here. I hope you've learned something new. Please stop electing lawyers.

The passage of the Violence Against Women Act on Thursday marked the third time in two months that major legislation had cleared the House with the support of less than half of House Republicans.
That represents a treacherous trend if Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, wants to remain speaker, Chris Chocola, the president of the conservative Club for Growth, told National Journal.
"There is only so long you can do things your conference doesn't want you to do. Sooner or later, they won't want you to be their speaker," Chocola said.
Chocola, a former GOP congressman from Indiana, said the Club doesn't get to meddle in congressional leadership races. But his group has played heavily in Republican primaries in recent years, sometimes at odds with the House GOP leadership, trying to elect unapologetic and unbending conservatives. "If we do our job, then they'll elect good leaders," Chocola said of the candidates the group backs.
The Violence Against Women Act passed on Thursday with only 87 Republicans in support and 138 opposed. It cleared the House on the strength of 199 Democratic aye votes. It was the same story last month, when the House approved additional aid to victims of Hurricane Sandy with only a fraction of GOP support (49 ayes to 179 nays). And the fiscal-cliff deal in January that allowed tax rates to rise on the wealthiest earners cleared the House with only 85 GOP votes in favor.
"It just seems that--I'm not beating up on Boehner—but it doesn't seem like you can do this for very long and continue to be speaker," Chocola said. "But that's his problem, not ours."
The speaker's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This photo c1959 shows what I think is the north side of Greeves St facing west away from Brunswick St from the corner of Fitzroy St. The original photo may have been reversed because the description in the Picture Victoria site does not make sense: "View of South side, looking West towards Brunswick Street." The houses on the south side of the street facing west are almost a mirror image, with two storied houses on each end of the street and single storey terraces in between, but the chimneys of the corner house on the south side don't match the photo, whereas the northern side house does match the photo once it is reversed. The streetscape has barely changed.

It's finally been confirmed that Micheal Jackson helped with some of the games music. Brad Buxer who composed the games music has stated so in the latest issue of Black & White, which dedicates it's latest issue to the star.
Black & White: Can you clarify the rumour that Michael had in 1993 composed the music for Sonic 3 video game, for which you have been credited?
Brad Buxer: I've never played the game so I do not know what tracks the developer kept from what Michael and I both worked on, but we did compose music for the game. Michael called me at the time for help on this project, and that's what I did. And if he is not credited for composing the music, it's because he was not happy with the resulting sound coming out of the console. At the time, game consoles did not allow for optimal sound reproduction, and Michael found it frustrating. He did not want to be associated with a product that devalued his music...
Black & White: One of the surprising things in this soundtrack is that you can hear chords featured in Stranger in Moscow, which was supposed to have been composed later.
Brad Buxer: Yes, Michael and I had composed those chords for the game, and it has been used as base for Stranger in Moscow.

Mermaid Prosses
There's only a couple times per month, in which this will work, not to mention you need to be near a large body of water.
So, on a night with a full moon (mermaids draw the majority of their power from the moon) you have to go outside to the large body of water. Now, against popular belief, there are such things as salt water mermaids AND fresh water mermaids, and the type of water you transform in will determine which type of mermaid you become (ocean=salt water mermaid; pool or lake=freshwater mermaid). Even though most people would say salt water mermaids have more fun, I would say that decision is up to you. Yes, it is true that salt water mermaids do have much more water they can be in and there are possibly up to 75% more salt water mermaids than fresh water, though this can never actually be proven, it is believed that fresh water mermaids have more power and have an even more complex/futureistic society than saltwater mermaids do. This is probably the hardest decision of it all, deciding whether to be a salt water or fresh water mermaid, because once you transform there is no way that we currently know of, that can change you to the other type.
Once you have made this decision, you must go outside(in any clothes) to the area which you will transform, exactly one hour before the height of the full moon (this changes from time to time and can be found out on a a site such as weather.com). There are rumors that if the night has stars that's a sign that your transformation will go great, but on the otherhand if it is a dark night, then the transformation could fail or even have horrible side effects. Once you're outside, you must lay down on your back by the edge of the water, but you must'nt ever let the water touch your flesh, or else your chakras will block and can possibly cause you to never be able to take in the full transformation. When you're on your back, look up at the sky and get lost in it's vast infinity. You must continue laying there until the moonlight hits you perfectly. This is the hardest step of the physical transformation, because if the spot you chose to lay down on, doesn't allow the moonlight to hit you perfectly than you have to return home and wait for the next full moon to try agan. *Note: You CANNOT move from the spot you chose first or else you have just wasted your time continuing with the rest of the process.* If the moon hits you, you have been accepted into the Rights of Mermaids. Be Patient! This could take up to an hour for the moonlight you hit you, but after it has you must must must work quickly, because you only have about three minutes before the height of the full moon.
After the moonlight has hit you, you need to stand up and stand there. This is when it gets technical: Take 3 deep breaths, say something and take one step(each breath/word/step representing one minute), after the first breath say "Jedan", and take one step(doesnt matter which foot) after the second breath say "Dva" and take another step, and after the third breath say "Drvo" and take your last step. By this tiime you should feel the water rushing up against your flesh, if you don't, you can't continue on and you have to return home and wait for the next full moon. Even though this will probably only take less than thirty seconds in reality, because you have entered the mermaid transformation, the relationship between time and space has altered and even though your mind says this took less than thirty seconds, it has really took 2 and 1/2 minutes. Now is the most crucial step in the transformation, in the next thirty seconds you must continue walking deeper and deeper into the water, using the same process as above(breath, word, step) but this time you will repeat "i pokazati mi puet sirena" (because this language is ancient, and we don't know nearly enough about mermaid language, we do know sirena means mermaid and mi puet probably can be translated into English as the way, so this means something about the way of the mermaid). So than continue this breath, chant, step process until all but your head is submerged in the water, remember you have to go from feet in water to all but head in water in only thirty seconds(this is why the mermaid race is so strong, because only the best and most willing are able to make it through this whole process) after everything but your head is submerged in water, the moon should be at its height and fullest. nows when the realllll transformation occurs, the light should get stronger and there will be a beam surrounding you. The water will begin to bubble and sparkles, from now on don't fight against anything the water does. From now on, no one knows for sure what happens, but this is what has been observed and is commonly accepted, your legs will probably tingle and a brght flash of colored light will blind anyone watching. there has only been one case of observin

Bremerton Resident Graduates with Guide Dog
BREMERTON - Sharon Maalis, 58, of Bremerton and Pika, a Female Black Laborador Retriever, were among of the pairs of graduates who recently crossed the stage at Guide Dogs of the Desert. Two other guide dog teams also graduated at a ceremony held at the facility near Palm Springs, California.
Since all three graduates have previously had guide dogs they were able to spend just 14 days training at the Guide Dogs of the Desert campus with their new dogs, rather than the customary 28 days.
"It's very gratifying to be able to provide dogs to our clients, so they can appreciate the miracle of independence and the special freedom having a dog brings," said Roccie Hill, Executive Director of Guide Dogs of the Desert.
Guide Dogs of the Desert, an award-winning 501(c)(3) non-profit public benefit organization, offers safe mobility, loving companionship and the "miracle of independence" to the blind through the use of a guide dog. Since 1972 we have bred, raised and trained guide dogs for the blind. Guide Dogs of the Desert also trains our blind clients to work with their dogs—all at no cost to our clients. For more information, please visit www.gddca.org. According to the American Foundation for the Blind, every seven minutes someone in American becomes blind or visually impaired.

An electroluminescent lamp includes a continuous electroluminescent dielectric layer and a patterned rear electrode overlying the electroluminescent dielectric layer, wherein the rear electrode includes at least two conductive segments separated by a gap. An insulating layer fills the gap and a conductive interconnect overlies the insulating layer, joining the segments. The insulating layer spaces the interconnect from the electroluminescent dielectric layer a sufficient distance to reduce the electric field in the electroluminescent dielectric layer below the point at which the lamp appears luminous.
1. An electroluminescent lamp comprising:
a transparent first electrode;
a second electrode having a predetermined thickness;
an electroluminescent dielectric layer between said first electrode and said second electrode;
wherein said second electrode is divided into at least two segments separated by a gap at which said lamp is not luminous when lit;
an insulating layer in said gap;
a conductive interconnect overlying a portion of said insulating layer between said segments;
whereby the electroluminescent dielectric layer is luminous at said segments when a voltage is applied across said first electrode and said second electrode but is not luminous at said interconnect when a voltage is applied across said first electrode and said second electrode.
2. The lamp as set forth in claim 1 wherein said insulating layer has a thickness substantially equal to said predetermined thickness.
3. The lamp as set forth in claim 1 and further including:
at least one terminal separated from said segments by said gap; and
a conductive interconnect between one of said segments and said terminal.
4. The lamp as set forth in claim 1 wherein said lamp includes separate dielectric and phosphor layers and said conductive interconnect is separated from said phosphor layer by a distance that is at least twice the distance between said rear electrode and said phosphor layer, whereby the electric field between said conductive interconnect and said front electrode is substantially less than the electric field between said rear electrode and said front electrode.
This invention relates to an electroluminescent (EL) lamp and, in particular, to an EL lamp having a patterned rear electrode wherein the segments of the rear electrode are electrically joined by non-luminous interconnects.
An EL lamp is essentially a capacitor having a dielectric layer between two conductive electrodes, one of which is transparent. The dielectric layer may include a phosphor powder or there may be a separate layer of phosphor powder adjacent the dielectric layer. As used herein, the term "electroluminescent dielectric layer" is generic for either construction. The phosphor powder radiates light in the presence of a strong electric field, using very little current. The front electrode is typically a thin, transparent layer of indium tin oxide or indium oxide and the rear electrode is typically a polymer binder, e.g. polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polyester, vinyl, or epoxy, containing conductive particles such as silver or carbon. The front electrode is applied to a polymer film such as polyester or polycarbonate to provide mechanical integrity and support for the other layers.
It is known in the art to pattern the rear electrode to produce a luminous design when an EL lamp is lit. A problem with such lamps is that the pattern must be relatively simple; specifically, a pattern must not include any enclosed areas. For example, a circle within a circle can only be lit by connecting the two circles. A conductive bridge between the circles becomes part of the rear electrode and the phosphor glows under the bridge, producing stencil type letters, for example. One could pattern the phosphor layer to eliminate the luminous interconnection but patterning the phosphor layer requires that the phosphor layer and the rear electrode be accurately registered. Patterning a layer increases the cost of a lamp and requires registration between two or more layers further increases the cost of a lamp.
Contact to the electrodes is made in a variety of ways, such as forming an enlarged contact region along one edge of the lamp. In watch or timepiece applications, space is at a premium. The contact areas of the lamp cannot show through the watch face, requiring contact along the edges of the lamp. Another difficulty with timepieces is that different styles of watches require EL lamps of different shapes but the electronics driving the EL lamps can be identical for many styles of watch. In order to achieve the cost savings available from using identical electronics, it is desired that the terminals connecting an EL lamp to a power supply be in the same location regardless of the style of the watch or the design of the watch face.
In view of the foregoing, it is therefore an object of the invention to provide an EL lamp having non-luminous interconnects between a luminous area and a contact or between two luminous areas.
Another object of the invention is to provide an EL lamp having a continuous electroluminescent dielectric layer and non-luminous interconnects across dark regions of the lamp.
A further object of the invention is to provide EL lamps having different luminous designs but having contact areas at the same location relative to the design.
Another object of the invention is to provide a watch having at least one luminous area not containing an electrical contact for the area and a non-luminous interconnect between the contact and the luminous area.
The foregoing objects are achieved in the invention in which an electroluminescent lamp includes a continuous electroluminescent dielectric layer and a patterned rear electrode overlying the electroluminescent dielectric layer, wherein the rear electrode includes at least two conductive segments separated by a gap. An insulating layer fills the gap and a conductive interconnect overlies the insulating layer, joining the segments. The insulating layer spaces the interconnect from the electroluminescent dielectric layer a sufficient distance to reduce the electric field in the electroluminescent dielectric layer below the point at which the lamp appears luminous.
A more complete understanding of the invention can be obtained by considering the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-section of an EL lamp constructed in accordance with the prior art;
FIG. 2 is a cross-section of an EL lamp with a non-luminous interconnect constructed in accordance with the invention;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a portion of an EL lamp strip including a non-luminous interconnect constructed in accordance with the invention; and
FIG. 4 is a plan view of an EL lamp strip for a watch, showing the rear electrode and interconnect constructed in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 1 is a cross-section of an electroluminescent lamp constructed in accordance with the prior art. Lamp 10 includes substrate 11 made from polymer film such as polyester or polycarbonate. Transparent front electrode 12 is deposited on substrate 11. Phosphor layer 14 and dielectric layer 15, shown in FIG. 1 as separate layers, overlies front electrode 12. Rear electrode 18 overlies dielectric layer 15 and is made from a polymer binder containing graphite. Rear electrode 18 is typically opaque and is the side of lamp 10 facing away from a viewer. The relative thicknesses of the layers are not drawn to scale.
Applying alternating current between rear electrode 18 and front electrode 12 through suitable contacts (not shown) produces an electric field across phosphor layer 14, causing the phosphor layer to emit light. The intensity of the light emission is, at a first approximation, linearly proportional to field strength (voltage) and linearly proportional to the frequency of the alternating current.
FIG. 2 illustrates EL lamp 20 constructed in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention in which the rear electrode is patterned to produce the desired graphics when the lamp is lit. The substrate, front electrode, and electroluminescent dielectric layer are made in the same way as for lamps of the prior art and are represented by dashed line 19. Rear electrode 21 is preferably screen printed and is patterned to include a plurality of gaps, such as gap 26 between segment 22 and segment 24. In accordance with the invention, the gaps between segments in rear electrode 21 are filled with a suitable insulator, such as UV curable resin.
Gaps 26 and 27 are filled with insulator after rear electrode 24 is printed and cured. Gaps 26 and 27 are filled for example by screen printing or by roll coating, i.e. by flowing liquid polymer across the surface of rear electrode 24 and removing polymer from portions 22 and 24 with a doctor blade or squeegee. The insulating material is cured and conductive interconnect 29 is then printed over gap 26 and over the adjoining edges of segments 22 and 24. Interconnect 29 is preferably the same material as segments 22 and 24, thereby avoiding problems of compatibility and assuring strong adherence between interconnect 29 and the underlying segments.
A voltage applied to segment 24 is coupled to segment 22 by interconnect 29. The electric field produced under segments 22 and 24 is proportional to the applied voltage. The electric field under interconnect 29 is substantially less than the electric field under segment 22 or segment 24 because the interconnect is spaced further from the electroluminescent dielectric layer by the insulator in gap 26.
Rear electrode 21 is approximately the same thickness as rear electrode 18 (FIG. 1). If the electroluminescent dielectric layer includes separate phosphor and dielectric layers, the dielectric layer has a thickness of about 20μ, and rear electrode 21 has a thickness of about 45μ. Thus, interconnect 29 is spaced about three times as far from the phosphor layer as the rear electrode. The reduced field across thickness 28 causes light emission that is undetectable under normal operation conditions, i.e. the area under the interconnect appears dark. At low field intensities, light emission is non-linearly proportional to the applied voltage, which further reduces the intensity of the emitted light.
FIG. 3 illustrates a portion of an EL lamp in which a patterned rear electrode is coupled to a terminal by a non-luminous interconnect constructed in accordance with the invention. In FIG. 3, rear electrode 31 is coupled to terminal 33 by conductive interconnect 35 overlying insulator 37. Terminal 39 is electrically connected to the front electrode (not shown). In accordance with one aspect of the invention, terminals 33 and 39 can be located at a predetermined location, independently of the design or pattern formed in rear electrode 31. In this way, the printed circuit board for a watch can have contacts formed at a corresponding location and the board can be used for a plurality of visually distinct lamps.
The embodiment of FIG. 3 operates in the same manner as the embodiment of FIG. 2. A voltage applied to terminals 33 and 39 causes lamp 30 to glow in the areas covered by rear electrode 31. The area under interconnect 35 appears dark because the electric field is substantially lower under the interconnect than under rear electrode 31. Rear electrode 31 can have any desired shape and can be a hollow figure, as indicated by dashed line 32.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of the rear electrode of an EL lamp constructed in accordance with the invention for backlighting the dial of a watch. A plurality of such lamps is constructed in a strip or panel and the lamps are separated from each other during assembly of the watches. Lamp 40 includes rear electrode 41 coupled to terminal 43 by conductive interconnect 45 overlying insulator 47. Terminal 49 is connected to the front electrode (not shown) of EL lamp 40. In this embodiment of the invention, insulating layer 47 overlies a portion of electrode 41.
Conductive interconnect 45 is raised above the plane of electrode 41 and the electric field between interconnect 45 and the front electrode is substantially less than the electric field between rear electrode 41 and the front electrode. Thus, the area underneath interconnect 45 appears non-luminous when a voltage is applied to terminals 43 and 49. If rear electrode 41 included two concentric rings, each ring could be separately powered or the inner ring could be connected to the outer ring by interconnect 45.
The invention thus provides an EL lamp having a continuous electroluminescent dielectric layer and non-luminous interconnects between a luminous area and a contact or between two luminous areas. Lamp terminals are at the same location on a lamp, independent of the particular pattern of the rear electrode.
Having thus described the invention, it will be apparent to those of skill in the art that various modifications can be made within the scope of the invention. For example, although it is an advantage of the invention that materials and steps from existing processes can be used to implement the invention, the invention is not limited to such implementation. For example, it is not required that the insulator be a different material from the rear electrode. The polymer binder used for rear electrode layer 21, without the graphite particles, can be used as the insulator. Complex patterns can be made by chaining together segments of the rear electrode with conductive interconnects. Alternatively, a plurality of segments of the rear electrode can be powered by individual conductive interconnects.

Fast on Dry, Shed the Mud: All Rounder
This tire was the tire of choice all fall last year when I rode clinchers. They were really fast in the dry duffy conditions we get out west, yet they cleared mud rapidly when hitting the wet conditions. I rode these at low pressures all fall (26psi) and never had any issues with bottoming out on rims or pinch flatting. Run this with the No Tubes tubeless kit and shed the tubes altogether. I will be running this tire again this year. Ride On.

1 pound
fresh mushrooms, quartered
onion, diced
1 clove
garlic, chopped
green bell pepper, diced
1/2 teaspoon
Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon
seasoning salt
1 dash
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons
4 tablespoons
melted butter
I made this for a dinner party the other night, and my guests really seemed to enjoy it. Here's what I did: I left out the green pepper and added a couple of green onions instead. I also left out the water at the suggestion of my fellow cooks and instead couldn't resist 2 small splashes of dry sherry instead. I didn't see that the recipe said seasoned salt until I actually looked closer so I had cracked some fresh salt on them first then did a quick sprinkle of seasoned salt, still staying light on both so that guests could add their own. I took another cook's suggestion and tossed the mushrooms a few times. I also added some garlic and herb breadcrumbs during the last 10 minutes. Since I kept it covered the whole time the breadcrumbs were really soft when I pulled out the dish after 45 minutes so I stirred the whole thing together. It made a really nice sauce. The mushrooms smelled heavenly before they were cooked and even better after. I don't even like mushrooms, but they were so easy and smelled so wonderful that I wouldn't hesitate to make them again. What an elegant dish!
This would be a much better recipe with a small, but important change, but I can only rate it two stars as written - I've made a baked mushroom recipe before and didn't care for the stewed, rather than roasted effect. Mushrooms are already loaded with water and this recipe only compounds the problem by calling for even more water and then to cover the pan! I changed the cooking method altogether, simply sauteing everything in a large skillet in a combination of butter and olive oil and NO water. Rather than Italian seasoning I used a handful of chopped fresh herbs at the end. This version was so much better; a solid 4 stars, and a unique change from the sauted mushrooms I generally serve with our grilled steaks.

Extremely easy recipe and very tasty too!!! I do add a 1/4 cup of White Wine to the pan, it seems to bring out a little more of the mushrooms flavors. Not really a dish for kids unless they enjoy mushrooms!
Thank goodness I halved the recipe, I couldn't stop eating these! I used green onion, dried parsley, doubled the garlic & seasonings, used white wine instead of water & didn't have any green pepper. So much for following the recipe, but it turned out great!
This is very flavorful, but next time I make it I'll omit the water. It came out way too juicy! I drained a whole cup of liquid off of it. I added dried Italian bread crumbs on top during the last 10 minutes of baking.
really good, I will make this again. Everyone I had for dinner loved them. I followed some suggestions of others and added more garlic, a little less onion and green pepper and no water. The mushrooms had enough water in them. I also tossed them twice throughout the cooking time and they turned out great.
These WERE FANTASTIC!! ~ I'm SO GLAD I OMITTED THE WATER! ~ Also, it occurred to me the recipe does NOT SAY COVERED, and reading the reviews, seems most people covered it. This might be why the EXTRA WATER, etc. comments. I sorta covered it (not knowing what to expect), and checked it 1/2 way thru...probably could've been uncovered the entire time ~ Be sure and add LOTS more seasonings and/or salt. (I used Essence and Garlic Pepper Seasoning). I also omitted the bell peppers and used green onions. These were EXACTLY what I was looking for with my baked chicken :)) Thank you Gail!! WILL DEFINITELY MAKE AGAIN!!
Very tasty and a great way to use up mushrooms. I did substitute the fresh parsley and used dried.

Bikeshare comes to the Mall, just in time for cherry blossoms
- (Photo: DDOT)
Well, that was fast. The National Capital Planning Commission approved bringing five Capital Bikeshare stations to the National Mall on March 1 and two weeks later, the first stations are here. The turnaround is surprisingly fast, considering the National Park Service only came around to the idea late last year. The time for waiting and wondering is now mostly over though. The first two bikeshare stations have been installed on the National Mall — at 14th and Jefferson SW and on Ohio Drive near the MLK Memorial, according to the District Department of Transportation.
John Lisle, spokesperson for DDOT, told me the city hopes to install the next three stations "within the next few weeks."
The other stations will be located near the Smithsonian Metro, at the Jefferson Monument, and at the FDR Memorial. The city also has plans to install more than five miles of bike lane in 2012 (find out where here). During the gorgeous warm weather of Wednesday, the year-and-a-half-old Capital Bikeshare set a new record of 6,313 rides in one day. Yesterday the service saw 6,172 rides, another strong number, and one likely to grow as visitors and residents can take advantage of these new stations. Between the warm weather and the season of cherry blossoms, the timing is just right.
Update, 12:45 p.m.: The city just released its own release on the installation and says Capital Bikehshare will have staff on hand during the cherry blossom festival: March 24 and 25; March 31 and April 1; and April 7 and 8, from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m., according to DDOT. NPS also is hooking bicyclists up with some more bike parking between 15th and 14th Streets, SW, apparently, as well as at the Jefferson Memorial. DDOT director Terry Bellamy notes that these two stations brings the total up to 151.

Red Onion Woes?
So many recipes call for red onions but each time I use one it is so strong that I regret it. I love onions generally and I like the added color of the red onion. I just used one and put the remaining half in a closed plastic bag in my produce drawer. I opened the fridge to the overwhelming smell of onion and even the apples in the same drawer now smell of onion! Is this the common experience with red onions?

ATLANTA (AP) — Adult obesity still isn't budging, the latest government survey shows.
The national telephone survey found 13 states with very high rates of obesity last year. Overall, the proportion of U.S. adults deemed obese has been about the same for years now.
"A plateau is better than rising numbers. But it's discouraging because we're plateauing at a very high number," said Kelly Brownell, a Duke University public policy expert who specializes in obesity.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does the survey each year, and recently released 2012 results.
At least 30 percent of adults were obese in 13 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and West Virginia. In 2011, a dozen states reached that threshold.
Louisiana and Mississippi led the list. In both, nearly 35 percent of adults were obese. Colorado was lowest, with less than 21 percent obese.
It's not surprising states in the South and Midwest top the charts year after year, experts say. Many states in those regions have higher poverty rates.
"When you have a limited income, you have to buy foods that are cheap. And foods that are cheap tend to have a lot of sugar and salt and fat," said Dr. George Bray, an obesity expert at Louisiana State University.
The CDC defines someone as obese if their weight-to-height ratio - called a "body mass index" - hits 30 or higher. A 5-foot-9 person would be considered obese at 203 pounds or more.
The CDC's annual telephone survey asks adults their height and weight. Overall, nearly 28 percent of Americans were obese, the 2012 survey found. That's roughly the same as it's been since 2008.
Another CDC survey - which weighs and measures participants - is considered more accurate. Since the middle of the last decade, that survey has found that around 35 percent of U.S. adults are obese.
The story may be different with children. A CDC study released last week showed - for the first time - slight drops in obesity for low-income preschoolers in 18 states.
Experts called that report encouraging, but note it studied children fed through a federal program which provides food vouchers and other services. The decline in obesity was largely attributed to program changes - instituted in 2009 - that eliminated juice from infant food packages, provided less saturated fat, and made it easier to buy fruits and vegetables.

Phil Barthram recently announced on the ENGLISC mailing list a new Old English translator. For those unfamiliar with Old English, this is not the really cheap malt liquor. This is the grandmother of Modern English (by way of its mother, Middle English and a few others, chiefly Norman French). Whereas an Olde English (the malt liquor) translator might look like this:
"You look pretty."
"I'm trashed on cheap swill."
an Old English (Anglo-Saxon) translator looks more like:
Nu sculon herigean heofonrıces weard
Now we should praise the guardian of the kingdom of heaven
This is the first line of Cædmon's Hymn. Check out the wikipedia page for Cædmon to read the whole nine lines.
The tool offers the user the ability to get dictionary look-ups of inflected Old English words. So this is a word-for-word translator with no regard to context. So in the realm of Old English machine translation, this is the first step. This is called a direct translation system in the hierarchy of MT since it looks only at words at not at syntax or semantics when offering translations. A sister method is statistical machine translation, which looks at co-occurrence probabilities between the source and target languages (Old English/Modern English) to suggest word and phrase matches.
I've been considering for a while now working on such a system for Old English as a pet project. Lack of time is the major hurdle there. I've also been continuing (slowly) to work on a morphological analyzer for Old English verbs (and extending it to nouns, adjectives, etc).
The way Phil handles morphology is in the pre-processing phase. He has taken several Modern English to Old English (and vice versa) dictionaries and extracted inflected forms from the format they encode. He then populates the database with each inflected form as a separate entry, tagged with the proper morphological information. At query time, he checks for variations in acutes and also returns similar matches.
Unfortunately (for me), he does not intend to take the code open source. I certainly understand his desire to keep this as his own project, and he has put a lot of work into it. I hope at some point he'll release the data as an xml dictionary. One of the problems with open source projects for the hobbyist is the sudden overhead in managing the project combined with the fact that niche creations like this don't attract very many collaborators. So you get more work with no benefit.
Using Phil's translator to translate the first line of Cædmon's hymn:
nú Interjection
Derived from: lo! behold! come! ~ lá now
sculon (failed to translate)
herigean (failed to translate)
heofon Masculine Noun – irregular ending
Derived from: heofon m (-es/heofenas) f (-e/-a) sky firmament heaven the power of heaven
Case(s) with this inflected ending:
> Nominative Singular
> Accusative Singular
rices (failed to translate, genetive form of rice, which did translate)
rice Strong Neuter Noun
Derived from: rice n (-es/-) BT la. add :– On middeweardum hire rice hió getimbrede
Case(s) with this inflected ending:
> Nominative Singular
> Nominative Plural
> Accusative Singular
> Accusative Plural
weard Strong Masculine Noun
Derived from: weard m (-es/-as) keeper watchman guard guardian protector 2 lord king 2 possessor
Case(s) with this inflected ending:
> Nominative Singular
> Accusative Singular
So Phil still has some work to do (and I know he's going to be working on cleaning up the UI, since up to now he's been focused on the underlying stuff).

America's Healthy Future Act, which Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) released yesterday, contains numerous provisions aimed at making health care coverage affordable. One of those endeavors is the creation of four benefit categories for the health insurance market: bronze, silver, gold and platinum.
No national standard exists. Baucus' proposal explains that currently, federal law does not define a minimum creditable coverage (MCC) benefit package for purposes of individual, small group, and other group private health insurance. States have the primary responsibility of regulating the business of insurance and may define what qualifies as MCC. (I discussed some of these state benefit mandates in a previous post and provided a preview of a national benefit standard.)
New categories, standard benefits. The chairman's proposal provides that no policies (except grandfathered policies) could be issued in the individual or small-employer market that do not comply with one of the four categories. All insurers would have to offer coverage in the silver and gold categories. All plans would be required to provide:
· preventive and primary care services,
· emergency services,
· medical and surgical care,
· physician services,
· hospitalization,
· outpatient services,
· day surgery and related anesthesia,
· diagnostic imaging and screenings (including x-rays),
· maternity and newborn care,
· pediatric services (including dental and vision care),
· prescription drugs,
· radiation and chemotherapy, and
· mental health and substance abuse services.
Plans could not charge cost-sharing (e.g., deductibles, copayments) for preventive care services, except in cases where value-based insurance design is used. In addition, plans would not be allowed to set lifetime limits on coverage or annual limits on any benefits.
Definition of levels. The bronze benefit package, which would represent MCC, would be equal to the actuarial value of 65 percent with an out-of-pocket limit up to the HSA current law limit ($5,950 for individuals and $11,900 for families in 2010) indexed to the per capita growth in premiums for the insured market as determined by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. (For a refresher on "actuarial equivalence," see my learned colleague's previous post.)
The silver benefit package would have an actuarial value of 70 percent with the out-of-pocket limits for MCC.
The gold benefit package would have an actuarial value of 80 percent with the out-of-pocket limits for MCC.
The platinum benefit package would have an actuarial value of 90 percent with the out-of-pocket limits for MCC.

AUBURN, Mass. – The Auburn High School football team hasn't been challenged a lot this season, but in the beginning of Tuesday's semifinal playoff game, the team responded in a big way.
The Rockets had a slow start in the elimination contest but exploded in the final 2 ½ quarters, beating Hudson High School, 49-14, in snowy and slippery conditions at Wachusett Regional High School in Holden. Auburn, now 12-0 on the season with a 20-game winning streak, advanced to Saturday's Super Bowl against Tantasqua to compete for its fifth-straight Super Bowl win. Auburn beat Tantasqua, 30-7, in October.
"We knew they were going to come hard and fast, and we just tried to adjust," said Auburn fullback Bob Sivret. "We were fortunate we were able to. They're a tough team, and we just did our best to adjust, and we did."
Hudson's offense was able to move the ball on Auburn better than most teams all season, including in its first drive of the game. The Hawks made it to the edge of Auburn's red zone on the game's first possession before Auburn defensive back Tyler Maher intercepted a fourth-down pass and the Rockets took over.
Then after running back Tyler Desjardins had a 40-yard burst to get into Hudson's red zone, he finished up the drive with a 2-yard touchdown. Running back Mark Wright followed with the 2-point conversion as the Rockets went ahead 8-0 with one minute left in the first quarter.
On its next drive, Hudson again moved the ball deep into Auburn territory, and this time the Hawks cashed in. They scored a 7-yard passing touchdown, but their 2-point conversion was no good. However, it was a victory for Hudson to get points on the board, cutting the deficit to 8-6 with 6:24 left in the half.
But it was all Auburn after that. Sivret exploded up the middle for a 40-yard score with five minutes left in the half. Desjardins was stopped on the 2-point conversion as Auburn led 14-6.
Then on the final possession before halftime, Auburn moved the ball 92 yards in less than two minutes, which needed some extra help from Hudson. Quarterback Drew Goodrich had an incomplete pass on the final play of the half, but the Hawks were called for roughing the passer.
The Rockets took advantage with the extra play as Desjardins sprinted for a 10-yard score. The 2-point conversion was no good, but nonetheless, Auburn went ahead 20-6 at halftime.
Then the Rockets soared out of the half with Desjardins scoring his third touchdown of the night. The stud running back coasted for a 51-yard score, and Wright followed with the 2-point conversion as Auburn went up 28-6 with 8:44 left in the third quarter.
Auburn kept piling it on a couple minutes later when Wright found the end zone with a 14-yard score. The 2-point try was no good, but Auburn extended its lead to 34-6.
The Hawks never gave up, however, as they drove all the way down the field on their next drive, scoring a 1-yard touchdown and 2-point conversion to cut the deficit to 34-14 with 4:20 left in the third.
But yet again, the Rockets responded right away with their sixth score of the game. Wright cruised down the right sideline for a 57-yard touchdown, followed by Desjardins converting the 2-point attempt with four minutes left in the third to go up 42-14.
Then after Auburn pulled its starters, running back Andrew Markvenas put an exclamation point on top of the victory with a 50-yard score. Kicker Steve St. Jean made the extra point to make the final score 49-14.

Hang tight!
Recipe by RADHIKA GHATAGE
"Lassi is a refreshing cool drink also used as a light dessert during summer."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

ripe strawberries, rinsed
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1/4 cup
whole milk
1 cup
low-fat yogurt
ice cubes
Cool, refreshing, healthy midday "pick me up" drink. Not too sweet. I did use agave nectar (syrup) instead of sugar, because agave is a low glycemic natural sweetener, which won't give you a sugar rush-then-crash. There was a nice strawberry taste, as I used most of the berries in the drink, with only a little chopped on top. I also mixed all the ingredients together at the same time. I thought that 2 servings was just right for me as a single serving! Highly recommend.
It really needs cardamom to be authentic, in my opinion. I add a pinch of ground and it's much more to my taste.

I blended everything together, including the ice cubes, which I added last. I used half as much sugar (good call I think) and Greek strawberry yogurt. I also added fresh raspberries and a few drops of red food coloring to make it particularly pretty and pink. Not that other, similar, smoothies are bad, but what I especially liked about this one was its simple berry flavor - no orange or cranberry juice, banana, or other flavor additions. Hubs slurped this down in a New York Minute!
This drink lacked good strawberry flavor. I even added a few additional strawberries. I did use 2% milk and agave in place of the honey for sweetness. After tasting decided to drink it anyway and added 1 tsp. ground flaxseed, 1 tbls. soy protein powder.
I really love mango lassi, but wanted to make something a little less exotic for my husband, so this was perfect. I felt like all the flavors were in good balance (not too yogurty, just right sweetness), and would diagree with the previous review that said it was not flavorful. Of course, I was lucky to have big juicy summer strawberries, so maybe this could be a factor.
I LOVED this recipe. Since I am a huge yogurt fan (love the tartness of yogurt), I'd cut the sugar to 1 TBSP. But, that is totally personal peference, understanding many aren't crazy about tart drinks like me. Thanks for sharing Radhika. A keeper for me!
Awesome! As usual, because of my obsession with nutrition, I use conventional recipes as a place to start, and modify with more whole or local foods than those called for. I used raw honey instead of sugar, frozen strawberries that I had bought at the farmer's market while in season, and raw milk and my own homemade raw milk yogurt (which is more liquified than conventional yogurt). I ended up using less milk because of the viscosity of my yogurt, and no ice because the strawberries were already frozen. It was fantastic!!
A refreshing cool drink for a hot summer day

Types of Coffee Beans
The types of coffee beans used to make the morning coffee everyday are probably of little concern to the average person. However, the true coffee lover knows the various types of coffee beans if for no other reason than to be able to pick out their favorites from among the many available varieties. The two most common types of coffee beans used in making coffee are the Arabic bean and the Robusta bean. These two beans are used more than any other variety of beans, either in their pure form or in coffee blends.
The Coffea Arabica bush is grown all around the world and is the bean that over seventy percent of all coffee beverages are made from. The Arabica bean is a highly flavorful bean that contains less caffeine than the Canephor coffee bean. The different growing regions of the Arabic bean create different flavors in the bean.

Basically there are multitudes of Arabica coffee flavors all from the same type of bean and all based on where the bean is cultivated. The soil, temperature, weather and even neighboring foliage can create different flavors in the Arabica bean. For example, Ethiopian Arabica beans are known for their smooth, easy flavor with a floral finish while Kenyan Arabica beans have a more bitter taste. Arabica beans grown in Latin America are also slightly bitter tasting with a cocoa flavor and nutty finish. The favorite Arabica beans are grown in Colombia are very bold in taste with a dark texture and walnut after taste.
Arabica beans that are grown in Costa Rica are much like the beans grown in Brazil only sharper and lighter in taste. The Canephor or Robusta bean is also grown in many of the same regions. This coffee bean contains more caffeine than the Arabic bean. The Robusta beans contain less oil than the Arabic beans which tend to give them a more acidic and bitter taste. The Robusta bean is a cheaper bean than the Arabic bean and is used worldwide in blended coffees on supermarket shelves and at the same time in expensive roasts made for espresso. This is due the higher caffeine content, at least fifty percent more than the Arabica bean.
The Robusta beans are found around the world but are mostly planted and cultivated in Asia. Although they are considered bitter and acidic they are not considered poor in taste, in fact some of the best espressos are made from Robusta beans. Sumatra and Komodo supply some of the best Robusta beans which are roasted into exquisite coffees, such as Java and Kona. These gourmet coffees fetch top prices and are exceptionally flavored. There are many other coffee bean varietals that are grown around the world; however, most coffees are made from the Arabic bean, the Robusta bean or a blend of the two. The biggest distinction is within the bean variety and is based on where it is grown and how it is roasted, other factors that coffee lovers have to understand in order to choose the perfect coffee.

Mother of dead newborn is sought
Turlock police said they are concerned about the health of the mother of a newborn found dead in a Dumpster in a shopping center parking lot.
Turlock police Sgt. Steven Williams said the infant was warm to the touch when paramedics arrived Saturday afternoon but could not be revived. The newborn was pronounced dead after being rushed to a nearby hospital.
Williams said the late-to-full-term baby showed no obvious signs of foul play. Authorities encouraged the mother to contact police or at least seek care at an emergency room.
California law allows parents to surrender an infant at a "safe surrender site" within 72 hours of the child's birth.

The basic idea is each player has his or her own map of the area (in this case the Midway Island) behind a screen. Each player "searches" for the enemy fleet by flying search planes to the various zones on the map and calling the zone coordinates. Once found, bombers can be sent in to sink the enemy fleet. The actual attack is fought on a separate battle board where the ships are first placed on a rectangular grid and the attacking planes are placed in adjacent rectangles or on top of the ships themselves to indicate which ship they are attacking.
The basic game is very simple. But there are a number of additional rules, which add realism and complexity: CAP fighters, surface actions, bases, inaccurate search reports, etc.
The game is superior with a neutral referee for true double blind play.
Avalon Hill Complexity Rating: 3

1 pound
dry pinto beans
1 pound
bulk pork sausage
1 pound
ground beef
onion, chopped
green bell pepper, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can
diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
1/2 cup
chili powder to taste
This dish was really very good. I did make some changes though. Didn't have diced tomatoes w/chile's, so used regular diced tomatoes. I used hot italian sausage so there was still a nice bite to this dish. I didn't have ketchup either so just omitted it. Used the leftovers for burritos and they were great!
7 Ratings
Very simple and tasty! As is said, it's easy to make your own variations. I'll be using this to make and freeze for when my baby comes!
This recipe was sooooo gooood!!!thank you
This was pretty good stuff - a lot like a chili, but not quite. It makes a *lot* - it lasted me for five days. I made it exactly as written, using all the 85% beef I had, and a little 93% beef. I found that it took a lot longer to brown all the meat - maybe 20 minutes on medium heat. Also, the recipe didn't say whether to drain the meat afterwards, so I decided not to. As for the "chili powder to taste", I used up what I had on hand, maybe 1.5T. It was seasoned, but hardly "hot" to my taste. All in all, this was worth making, especially for a carnivore.
