Moussaka--Cook-Off 7
Posted 15 April 2005 - 08:08 AM
For our seventh Cook-Off, due to an overwhelming campaign by a lurking group of Greek cuisine fans, we're going to be making mousssaka. And listen up: y'all have some work to do!
When it comes to moussaka, it's all Greek to me! I cannot find a single solid lead on an eGullet thread concerning moussaka. In addition, I cannot find a recipe for moussaka in RecipeGullet. Finally, I've never had nor cooked this dish, and the only cookbook I have that includes it (our own Paula Wolfert's great book on The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean) is explicitly non-traditional.
So, as in any decent democracy in the wake of a power-shift, the reigns must now be handed over to you, my moussaka-loving friends, to guide us through the pleasures of this fine dish. Tell us, what exactly is it? What produced your eager advocacy? How does it address the cook-off criteria? What are its classic forms? What links might guide us? What recipes do you use? What techniques can we learn?
Info! Photos! Opinions! Sing, Goddesses!!

There is a great deal of variation on this dish, as it exists in Turkish, Greek, and Middle Eastern cultures, some even involve tomato sauce being poured over the top. In fact some don't use eggplant at all, you can substitute Zucchini even.

There is no hard and fast authentic recipe because there is such tremendous variation. But here's a couple to start:
http://www.greek-rec...file=article167 (This one looks really good if you can find all the components)
Notice that some of these recipes call for potatoes as one of the layers, some do not. I happen to prefer the ones with potatoes, so certainly you can choose to add them or not.
The Turkish/Balkan versions are usually not as complicated as the Greek ones, as they usually omit the custard/bechemel/cheese layer at the top and don't heavily spice it as much.

Finally, I've never had nor cooked this dish, and the only cookbook I have that includes it (our own Paula Wolfert's great book on The Cooking of the Eastern Mediterranean) is explicitly non-traditional.
Just to clear the playing fields before you begin:
Moussaka is Greek, Cypriot and Balkan. My version, described as Balkan in the book, is lesser known but it is traditional to parts of Eastern Macedonia.
Mussaka is made in Jordan, Lebanon,Syria and Turkey. It does not include the bechamel or yogurt topping.
Sounds like a lot of fun.

As for the eggplant, I find it easier, quicker and less greasy to bake the eggplant, rather than frying the slices. Here is a link to my Eggplant Cutlets recipe on RecipeGullet. These eggplant cutlets are perfect for Moussaka or Eggplant Parmesan, or as a side dish on their own. I have to make extra because Jason'll eat them staight off the pan.
As for the Bechamel sauce, I've got that down easy with my new VitaMix:
Finally, let me say that if you don't have a crowd to cook for, Moussaka freezes beautifully. Get some small containers for individual portions (bake in a large pan, cut out individual portions to freeze in those containers) or family meal sized portions, for us, that would be about a loaf pan. I recently picked up some extra loaf pans at a restaurant's going out of business liquidation, so I may just use some of those for adding to the freezer larder.
It is excellent for making bechamel/cheese sauces. Heat the milk in the microwave for a head start (or not), blend with the flour for a couple minutes -- you can hear the difference when it starts to thicken. Add some butter, S&P, and cheese and blend some more. Perfect perfect cheese sauce without having to pre-grate the cheese. No lumps, no standing over a pot stirring or whisking to keep it smooth and from burning on the bottom.

I also remember making papoutsakia once for a dinner party, which is basically the same recipe but instead of in a baking dish, it's baked in halved aubergine shells. (Papoutsakia means little shoe or little slipper, something like that.) Looks very pretty (I find that large baked dishes of the shepherd's pie/moussaka kind, can look a bit dull even if they taste fantastic).

I actually often make a Lebanese appetizer dish referred to as moussaka. You can find the recipe in Annisa Helou's Lebanese Cuisine.
Basically you make a tomato sauce with onion, chickpeas and spices. You get baby eggplants (peel in stripes), briefly fry them whole, then add to the sauce to simmer. Fan the eggplants in a serving platter and spoon the tomato-chickpea sauce between the eggplants.
It is a lovely presentation and so good!

Oh, wonderful. I love moussaka! The best one I ever made is from Rosemary Barron's book Flavors of Greece. The meat sauce is heavenly spiced with cinnamon, allspice, honey and oregano, and the bechamel has 3 different cheeses stirred into it. Lovely..
I have also made this version and liked it very much. I think her information on lightening the bechamel with beaten eggs is excellent, especially for such a rich dish.

I also have a cookbook called Traditional Greek Cooking, given to me by our Danish family after they vacationed in Greece. Its recipe looks good, as well. It calls for frying the potato slices before layering them in the pan.
Obviously this is basically a one dish meal. Do you all serve a (Greek?) salad with it?
Posted 15 April 2005 - 03:06 PM
I noticed that Jason said you could do it with zucchini instead so I think I will try it this way. I have never eatent his dish is my life.....

There is a Turkish Restaurant near my parents' house on Long Island (Wild Fig in Glen Cove) that does an interesting take on moussaka that I have been meaning to duplicate. The interesting part is that they use both eggplant and zucchini, but do not pre-cook the slices. Instead they are sliced very thinly on a mandoline and placed in alternating layers in the casserole, which is then topped with the meat mixture and bechamel. The thin slicing eliminates the need to precook the veggies, and it's a fairly light and elegant presentation.
Again- I haven't tried this yet, so there may be complications that I am unaware of, but still...how hard can it be? This may be the nudge I've needed to give it a shot.

Still, their Moussaka reigns supreme. Perhaps I will have to go back before I cook this one to get a good idea of what I am going after.

Imagine making this as an apetizer in those teensy little asian egg-sized eggplants!!!

One of my best friends from college days was, IIRC, a first-generation American of Macedonian heritage--his family lived in the St. Louis area, where I was given to understand there's a sizeable Macedonian emigre community. He made moussaka for me once--his version, learned from his mother, did have the bechamel topping, plus potatoes in addition to eggplant. I guess there must be different styles of moussaka in different regions of Macedonia...
He also taught me that it's pronounced with the accent on the third syllable. Up to that point I was saying it with the accent on the second syllable, which is how I heard it pronounced by diner waitresses when I was growing up in the suburbs of New York.
Maybe I'll get ambitious and drop my old college friend an email to get the specifics of his family recipe...

The first recipe I ever used to make moussaka is Dinah Shore's recipe in Dom Deluise's Eat This! It'll Make You Feel Better, currently out of print, so you'll have to check your local library. I found a recipe online labeled as Dinah Shore's Moussaka (Greek Eggplant) and Meat[/url], but I can't find my copy of Eat This! to make sure it is the same. No potatoes in this recipe, but feel free to add a layer or two.
If memory serves me correctly, Craig Claiborne's Best of NY has Dinah Shore's moussaka recipe. It used bread crumbs. I made it once and was pretty disappointed in it.
In Minneapolis, It's Greek to Me serves a moussaka which I found to be wonderful. I have mimicked their dish as follows:
Meat Mixture:
2 lbs Ground Lamb (or very lean hamburger)
1/2 C Red Wine
1/2 C finely diced onion
1-2 TBSP Tomato Paste
Salt, Pepper, Cinnamon, Allspice to taste
Brown meat and onions, add tomato paste and red wine, cinnamon, black pepper and allspice, reduce.
Salt to taste.
3-4 Dark purple eggplant sliced in rounds with skin on. Sprinkle liberally with salt and let drain in colander for 1 hour with a plated weight on them.
Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
Heat olive oil on hot griddle and griddle the slices until brown on one side and then turn one time and brown the other side. Keep olive oil layer light as eggplant will soak up as much as you put on. Set aside.
Slice potatoes with or without skin in 1/8" slices. Griddle them till browned on both sides. Set aside.
Bechamel Sauce
Any recipe for bechamel sauce will work, but I start with a roux, to which I slowly add heated 2% milk while stirring. I like to keep my bechamel rather thick. I add 3 egg yolks to the sauce (beat the egg yolks in small dish, add some of the hot bechamel and stir, then add back into the bechamel) and parmesan cheese and a little salt. Don't forget to add freshly grated nutmeg to the bechamel. It is very important to the moussaka taste.
Layer the potatoes first in bottom of lasagna pan which has been oiled first.
Then the meat mixture.
Then layer the eggplant slices.
Top with the bechamel.
Bake at 350 until lightly browned on top.
Let sit after taking out of the oven for at least 15-20 minutes to "set up".
Slice and enjoy. It does freeze very well.

re: Ground Lamb -- I'm finding it very hard to procure. I needed some last week when I made gyro, and I had to buy shoulder chops and debone and grind them myself. I'm going to call some semi-local butchers to see what they have. I spoke with a butcher at Pathmark Supermarket and they said they aren't allowed to ground lamb for customers, only beef. The only way they can sell ground lamb is if it comes boxed. Same for pork. They have to keep their grinding machine beef only. He suggested ShopRite, but I suspect it is a similar story there, as they wouldn't grind the chops I bought there either. He said it's bad for the customers and the butchers because the stores need fewer "meat men" -- only the store's bottom line benefits.
Follow-up: I called the butchers and they have ground lamb in frozen 1 lb packages, patties or not. One has it for $2.99/lb (Oradell Prime Meats, Oradell, NJ), the other for $3.80/lb (United Meat Market, New Milford, NJ). Both of these prices are less than I paid for shoulder chops (again that I had to debone and grind in my food processer) at a supermarket (ShopRite $3.99/lb). Moral: Patronize your independant butcher for the lamb.

Quick question??? How many of youall slice, salt, then rise and drain your eggies?
Aw, I forgot to mention that I'll be using ground venison with spicy sausage mixed in for a lamb sub as well. I find it can have the same mouthfeel if you pay attention to your mixing.

Yes, let's figure this out! I slice, salt, wait, then dab with paper towels. I also only buy what I've been told were male eggplants (no indentation at the base) bc they supposedly have fewer seeds. Anecdotal evidence, always tricky, bears out the effectiveness of these two techniques, but I'd be interested to know what people think.

Just checked the new McGee, and he says that the salting reduces the absorptiveness of eggplant, but as far as reducing bitterness, that probably just reduces "our perception of the alkaloids." I dunno what that means and have to take the dog for a walk, but if someone out there can explain, that'd be swell!

Ground lamb is not to be found in any of our sources at the moment, not even frozen chubs. I bought some shoulder chops, but I am thinking of using ground bison which is very lean and suitable for our low fat diet at the moment.
Talk about putting my own spin on a classic...
Posted 16 April 2005 - 08:57 AM
Thanks Bella. Of course, Jason doesn't want me to put ricotta in it, so I won't be using that recipe now. But good to know.
Rachel, I have a copy of "EAT THIS..." . Dinah Shore's recipe that you linked to is the same one that is in the book.

At Turkish and Greek restaurants in the US, that's typically what it is accompanied with, yes, with perhaps some warm pita bread.

I will be using ground lamb since it is rather easy to get here in Sweden but the recipe above states that ground beef may be used as well. Half the time I get moussaka in greek restaurants, it is made with ground beef. Does any one know which is more authentic? Could this be a regional issue?
Unfortunately I will not have the time to the moussaka until next weekend.

Butler County is full of history and interesting stories. Did you know that Butler County has its own historical collaborative? After speaking with the members at the January meeting, you'd be surprised what little known facts are stirring in the Butler County history books. So put aside the notion that history isn't exciting, it's alive and present all throughout the county.
Information provided by the Butler County Historical Society
Ever wondered what the home of a self-made millionaire from Butler County's home would look like? To check that off of your bucket list, plan on a visit to the Benninghofen House in Hamilton. Built in 1863, three different families made 327 N. Second Street their home.
The house survived the 1913 flood. The basement was totally flooded and the water was over three feet deep on the first floor, and the first floor is over four feet above street level. The kitchen, which had been located in the basement, was moved upstairs after the flood.
Portraits of notable people from Butler County adorn the walls, and the house is filled with Victorian style furniture and accessories. Indian relics from the five tribes that inhabited this area can be found in the basement of the house and in the adjoining research library located behind the house.
Seen the movie, National Treasure? Remember the part when the Declaration of Independence is stolen from the National Archive? Did you know that Mosler Safe Company of Hamilton
Interest peaked? Make sure that a visit to the Butler County Historical Society, 327 N. Second Street, Hamilton is on your bucket list. There will be special exhibits opening late this spring highlighting the Beckett Paper Mill and wedding fashions from the early 1800s through the 1950s.

The Chrisholm Historic Farmstead has had very interesting and famous people descend from their modest Amish Mennonite farming roots including Esther Price, of Chocolate Candy fame, Nobel Prize winner in Physics, 1927, Arthur Holly Compton, for "The Compton Effect" and Charles Richter, who developed the "Richter Scale", the traditional technique used for measuring the magnitude of earthquakes.
The Friends of Chrisholm, who will be celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year, will be hosting "An Earth-Shaking Weekend" from April 24-26, beginning with Richter's birthday celebration and featuring speakers addressing the link between fracking and recent Ohio quakes and the importance of two of our precious natural resources, soil and water.

"We have steps … almost," reports Butler County Probate Judge Randy Rogers. Work on the current l North Steps reconstruction project at the historic Butler County Courthouse began last fall, but weather and other unforeseen circumstances delayed completion of the project. The venerable Butler County Courthouse opened in 1889 and has survived a deadly fire, a devastating flood and an improbable hurricane. The Courthouse was added to the Natural Register of Historic Places in 1981. This extraordinary building remains the home of the Butler County Probate Court, and also houses the Butler County Area II Court.
The cost to restore the steps on the High Street side of the Courthouse is $91,994, and Coon Restoration and Sealants, Inc. and Lithko Contracting, Inc. are doing the work. With good weather the project should be complete before Valentine's Day, which will warm the hearts of those who value this durable symbol of local government.
Information provided by the Liberty Township Historical Society
The Liberty Township Historical Society, formed in 1975, was started by a group of residents with an interest in preserving and restoring the one-room Hughes Schoolhouse. The brick structure on Princeton Road adjacent to Liberty Elementary School was falling into disrepair and was destined for demolition. The research, design, funding as well as the labor was the society's primary mission for many years. Upon completion of the restoration, the group was successful in having the school placed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Children's Day, August 18, 1913, was a special day for the children of Middletown. It was the first time after the 1913 Flood that a special day was set-aside for them. This very interesting photograph was taken looking east from the corner of Broad and Third (Central Avenue) Streets. It states that 3,000 were in the parade. The children got to ride in automobiles – many for the first time. There was also a band concert and a picnic – all for the children. Seen in the background is the superstructure of the old lift bridge that was across the Miami-Erie Canal. Some of the buildings on the right, as well as the City Hotel building, still stand.

The now Plâs Cadnant Bed & Breakfast in Shandon, which opened in 2001 was built by Welsh immigrants who founded Paddy's Run, the first Welsh settlement in the state of Ohio, and still maintains the Welsh heritage of Shandon. In the late 1890s – early 1900s, the building was a home, post office, grocery and dry goods store. Between the years 1931-1939, the building served as the Ross School annex with home economics, industrial arts, business and science classes housed there. Through the years other uses included library, restaurant, Shandon Post Office, multi-family home and antique shop.
Information provided by the Oxford Visitors Bureau
Originally named the Oxford Theater, the Oxford/Talawanda Theater movie house was built in 1911 with Arts and Crafts style elements. It was called the Talawanda Theater from 1950 until the 19802 when it was substantially enlarged and renamed the Princess. Unfortunately, the Princess closed in March of 2014 due to a fire.
For many years the most prominent feature of the West Park was the bandstand that served the community from 1874 to 1936. Names of local men and women in military service were listed on Honor Boards that stood on the southeast corner of the park during World War II. At different times, veterans were remembered with a flagpole, naval cannon and a small raised plaza. The park was named for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1992 and completely redesigned in 2000. The Oxford Memorial Park now has a pavilion and is the location for numerous Oxford events throughout the year, including the annual Oxford Summer Music Festival each Thursday evening in June, July and August.
14 West Park Place is office to the Oxford Visitors Bureau, however, between the 1920s and 60s, a bowling alley and hall for skating and dancing occupied the West Park buildings, giving the location of the Visitors Bureau a unique and fun piece of history.
Information provided by the Reily Township Historical Society
Built around 1858, the now the Indian Creek Tavern, was an old coach stop between Cincinnati and Indiana. The building also has quite an interesting history of being a brothel, restaurant, and hotel and had an attached livery stable.
Also in Reily Township, the now Reily Township Fire Department building stands on the site of the Reily Opera House. On July 17, 1894, the school director deeded a lot in which an old school house stood for the purpose of building a new Township Hall and Opera House, the first play took place on January 17, 1895. These photos depict the cast from Princess Bonnie Operetta c. 1911 as well as a concert poster from 1912.
Information provided by the Smith Library of Regional History
Items from the Smith Library of Regional History were used on the C-SPAN cable television show, First Ladies: Influence and Image. For the episode about Oxford native "Caroline Harrison," Smith Library provided visual images to depict her Oxford girlhood. Those images included a picture of her as a girl, the house where she was born, the house where she was married, her graduation program, and the Oxford Female Institute where she attended school. Her school building was later enlarged and remodeled and is now the Oxford Community Arts Center.

Gout Treatment
Treating gout require a two-pronged approach that combines medications and lifestyle changes.
Treating an Acute Gout Attack
Here are the steps for getting the pain and swelling of a gout attack under control:
- Take an anti-inflammatory medication as soon as possible (see below for more information on these drugs)
- Ice and elevate the joint
- Drink plenty of fluids (no alcohol or sweet sodas)
- Call your doctor and make an appointment
- Relax; stress can aggravate gout.
- Ask friends and family to help you with daily tasks.
Despite the sudden onset and intense pain, gout attacks usually peak and resolve within a week or 10 days and then disappear completely. The first 36 hours are typically the worst. However, it's important that once you have an attack, you begin working with your doctor to control uric acid levels and prevent future gout attacks.
Medications for Treating An Acute Gout Attack:
Here are the medications used to treat an acute gout attack.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
NSAIDs are frequently used to quickly relieve the pain and swelling of an acute gout episode and can shorten the attack, especially if taken in the first 24 hours. Examples of NSAIDs include indomethacin, sulindac and naproxen sodium. Patients with high blood pressure or heart or kidney problems must be cautious when using NSAIDs. Side effects may include stomach upset, headache, skin rashes, fluid retention and elevated blood pressure. NSAIDs can interfere with high blood pressure medication and raise the risk of decreased kidney function for those taking such drugs. Sometimes stomach ulcers and internal bleeding may occur, particularly in people taking high doses over a long time. The COX-2 inhibitor is an NSAID designed to be safer for the stomach, but as with all NSAIDs it also poses a cardiovascular risk. Talk to your doctor about which NSAID is best for you.
Corticosteroids (such as prednisone) are similar to cortisol, a hormone that occurs naturally in the body. Some types are taken by mouth; others are injected into an inflamed joint to relieve the pain and swelling of an acute gout attack. They can also be injected systemically if the attack doesn't respond to other medications or if many joints are affected. Injection of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), a synthetic drug that stimulates the body to produce corticosteroids naturally, can help treat a gout attack. It's an alternative for people with kidney or stomach issues that prevent them from using other medications. Corticosteroids and ACTH usually start working within 24 hours after you begin taking them. A caution for diabetics – corticosteroid use can trigger blood sugar elevations, and your doctor may need to temporarily adjust the dosage of your diabetes medications while you're being treated for gout. Colchicine is derived from a plant that has been used to treat gout for more than 2,000 years. It helps to relieve the pain and swelling of acute attacks. Colchicine's most common side effects are diarrhea, nausea and abdominal cramp, but more severe side attacks can occur. Like all gout medications, it has been shown to be most effective if taken at the first signs of a gout attack.
Reducing Uric Acid Levels
Medications that lower uric acid are intended to prevent gout attacks and keep the condition from becoming chronic. Your doctor will wait until your most recent gout attack is over before starting these medications, because taking them during an attack can worsen or prolong it. Taking these medications can be challenging – as uric acid levels drop, crystals in your joints may shift, triggering another attack. However, sticking with your treatment plan is the best way to prevent future attacks. Your doctor may prescribe an anti-inflammatory medication such as a low, but regular dose of colchicine or another NSAID, along with one of the medications below for the first six weeks to 12 months to prevent attacks.
Allopurinol reduces the production of uric acid. It is often prescribed at a low daily dose at first, with the dose gradually increasing over time. Occasional side effects include skin rash and stomach upset. Stomach problems usually go away as your body adjusts to the drug. In rare cases, allopurinol can cause a severe allergic reaction.
Febuxostat may be an option if you develop side effects from allopurinol or have kidney disease. Like allopurinol, febuxostat decreases the amount of uric acid made in the body. It's also started at a lower dose, which may be increased if uric acid levels remain high. Side effects can include nausea and joint or muscle pain.
Probenecid acts on the kidneys to help the body eliminate uric acid. The medication is taken daily and may be combined with antibiotics to boost effectiveness. Common side effects include kidney stones, nausea, skin rash, stomach upset and headaches.
Pegloticase is used when standard medications are unable to lower the uric acid level, a condition known as refractory chronic gout. Pegloticase reduces uric acid quickly and to lower levels than other medications. The drug is administered every two weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion. Side effects can include infusion reactions, gout flares, nausea, bruising, sore throat, constipation, chest pain and vomiting.
One of the best ways to take care of your health if you have gout is to take a proactive role in your own treatment – a process called self-management.
Here are some lifestyles changes you can make to help you manage gout.

Monday, April 26, 2010MACON, Ga. – Lipscomb's Mollie Mitchell recorded her second Atlantic Sun Softball Player of the Week award after a spectacular week at the plate for the Lady Bisons, batting .538 (7-12) with two home runs and three RBIs in three of four games, while fellow teammate Whitney Kiihnl tallied a perfect 3-0 record on the week, including a no-hitter and winning both games of a doubleheader at Campbell to clinch the Lady Bisons the regular season title.
Mitchell has caught every game for the Lady Bisons this season while maintaining a top 10 batting average in the conference. The sophomore catcher posted two home runs in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Alabama-Birmingham.

Equal Pay and the Wage Gap
For more than four decades, NWLC has worked to close the wage gap and ensure that male and female employees get equal pay and benefits for comparable work. The Center has dramatically changed the workplace for women by successfully pushing for laws that could bring about pay equity for women. But there's still much more to be done. American women who work full-time, year-round are paid only 78 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts — which means it's important to keep pushing for new legislation that would make the workplace fair for women.
One important tool, the Paycheck Fairness Act, is a common-sense bill that would give workers stronger tools to combat wage discrimination, bar retaliation against workers for discussing salary information, and ensure full compensation for victims of gender-based pay discrimination. The Equal Employment Opportunity Restoration Act (EEORA) is another important bill that addresses employment discrimination by removing the barriers that the Supreme Court erected in Wal-Mart v. Dukes to employees' rights to bring class-action suits under antidiscrimination laws. And raising the minimum wage would help close the wage gap, because two-thirds of minimum wage workers are women.

Being an avid skier I have ski poles lying around, so I've always used those.
Do proper trekking poles offer any advantages for snowshoeing?
Being an avid skier I have ski poles lying around, so I've always used those.
Do proper trekking poles offer any advantages for snowshoeing?
If your shelter doesn't require them, I think the answer is "Ski poles are fine". Then, in the rare case where you want to walk without poles, you can tuck them horizontally in the small of your back (through your pack straps). If you like to go up or down with different length poles, just grasp the ski pole at a different spot on it's body.
Trekking poles are lighter and sometimes easier to break than ski poles. Some have the advantage of folding up into a short package.
If you use trekking poles, you may want some with changeable baskets so you can put on some larger baskets that won't sink into the powder so easily.
I have used both and it isn't really a difference to me. I would even prefer the ski poles, because they have baskets at the bottom, so that they can't sink deep into the snow. Trekking poles usually don't have this feature. So I would chose ski poles. But there are also two advantages if you're using trekking poles: Usually these poles you can adjust the length. This is very comfortable if you're wont to lend the poles, or if you cross a steep flank of a hill. In this case you can shorten one of the poles and increase the length of the other poles. Additionally, it is easier to carry them in your backpack because you can make them very short.
Definitively, I wouldn't use cross country ski poles, because they're usually just too long.

Every river finds its way to the ocean...but it sure can take a while. In this BrainPOP movie, Tim and Moby introduce you to the world's river systems, explaining how giant rivers start off as tiny rivulets of run-off from rainstorms. You'll learn how these streams become creeks and eventually rivers, and what uses humans have found for these important bodies of water. You'll also learn about the differences between young and mature streams, and why it's safer to kayak down a mature stream than a young one. Watch out for the rapids!

Joe Peterson is no wild-eyed radical, but the new Chancellor of Utah State University/College of Eastern Utah is committed to a patient and quiet revolution that he hopes will change society for the better.
"I want to contribute to a system that shakes up the social strata," he says when he explains his reasons for choosing higher education as a career. Too often, he continues, the "haves" of one generation produce the "haves" of the next, while the "have nots" continue to be "have nots" generation after generation.
"I abhor that. It's unfair," he declares. To him, education is the way to give everyone a chance at success in life.
Higher Ed was a natural choice given that philosophy. Coming home to Price to head USU/CEU was just as logical. He grew up here, immersed in academic surroundings. His father, Chas Peterson, taught history at CEU. He got to know the faculty, and in particular he remembers the outings that the polymath Don Burge would take him and his father on. ["Polymath" means "guy who knows lots of subjects" so it's the right word.]
Then, as now, Peterson says, CEU was "a small college in a small town. The people of the community see it as their college." So it will remain in the new regime. The chancellor is convinced that the communities of Southeastern Utah continue to have a stake in the success of their college. The challenge for leadership, he adds, is in identifying a few projects or programs that will rally the support of the communities as well as the university.
He cites the example of the Entrepreneurship Center at Vernal of what can be done. With 120 acres donated by a member of the community, USU and the Applied Technology Center partnered to create a facility and program aimed at cultivating business ventures. Expanding on that subject, he notes that the University of Utah's Bureau of Economic and Business Research has projected that Carbon County will no longer be the state's premier producer of coal in a generation.
It seems reasonable, he says, to consider what should be done with a scenario like that. "Of all possible outcomes, how can we assure that we get the outcome we want?" Given the needs of the community and the research strengths of USU, there should be some solution.
There also needs to be a solution for what he calls the college's "resource stress" - not enough money to be all things to all people. Part of his job is to develop new sources of funding, while the other part is to use existing resources more efficiently. Distance learning is one powerful tool to accomplish that.
That microwave network needs only a handful of students at each Southeastern Utah site to make a class size that is economically viable, he explains. Now that the Utah Legislature has defined USU/CEU as a "comprehensive regional campus" instead of as a community college, the distance learning capability has become integral to the mission.
One other advantage that CEU will continue to offer is comparatively low tuition. That affordability is another key factor in opening the gate for people who might not otherwise be able to raise their earning potential through higher education, he notes.

Given the nature of contemporary art practice, the condition of visual culture, the advent of new technologies, and many other factors, what is at stake today in seeing something as a photograph? What is the value of continuing to speak of photography as a specific practice or discipline? Is photography over? In April 2010, SFMOMA convened a range of major thinkers and practitioners to write brief responses to this question and to convene for a two-day summit on the state of the medium.

Program Requirements
The course-of-study through Washburn University integrates curriculum designed by the American Society of Radiologic Technologist (ASRT). The ASRT curriculum (2008 Edition) requires a base of existing knowledge involving computers, ethics and law, anatomy and physiology, patient assessment, patient care. The program also incorporates information as outlined in the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) Certification handbook for magnetic resonance.
Core curriculum includes:
A graduate of the MR certificate program will possess entry-level knowledge and clinical skill. The certificate in magnetic resonance (MR) requires the completion of a minimum of twenty-two credit hours, including clinical experience. All MR courses count towards the Bachelor of Health Science (BHS) degree.
The BHS degree is not automatically awarded upon completion of the MRI program, as additional requirements exist. See the Allied Health home page for more information on the BHS degree.
Magnetic resonance (MR) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a procedure that uses pulses of radio wave energy along with a magnetic field to image a specific body area. Structure and function of the body are then presented as cross-sectional anatomy images. MR has greater soft tissue contrast than CT, thereby creating detailed images.
MR is capable of demonstrating a variety of conditions within the human body such as infection, bleeding, tumors, aneurysms, torn ligaments, spinal discs and nerve injury. Abnormalities of the nervous system such as multiple sclerosis may also be imaged. Through the addition of contrast media, MR is able to provide images of blood vessels which is termed magnetic resonance angiography or MRA.
Technologists employed in magnetic resonance imaging may work in hospitals, imaging centers. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, technologists with certification in more than one diagnostic imaging area such as MR will be more marketable.
The Magnetic Resonance (MR) program is administered by the Department of Allied Health which is located in the School of Applied Studies. The program curriculum at Washburn University is accredited by North Central Association. The program may be completed either full-time or part-time and results in a certificate of completion. Upon successful conclusion of the program, graduates are eligible to take the post-primary exam with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists.
Classes begin in mid-August and finish the following May. The program is composed of both online didactic (theory) courses and clinical experience courses. The clinical portion is completed at a MR facility in your geographical area.
1. To graduate students with the theoretical knowledge to perform as competent entry-level MR technologists.
2. To graduate students with professional expertise and behaviors.
3. To graduate students with the ability to make independent decisions and think critically.
4. To graduate students with the ability to skillfully care for their patients.
An applicant must possess current registration in radiography (ARRT), radiation therapy (ARRT), sonography (ARRT or ARDMS) or nuclear medicine (ARRT or NMTCB). A second year student currently enrolled in an education program in radiography, radiation therapy, sonography or nuclear medicine may also apply. The applicable certification examination (ARRT, etc.) must be completed prior to starting the clinical portion of the program.
The admission of students into a Washburn University degree or certificate program offered online or at sites outside of Kansas is contingent upon the University's compliance with any applicable regulations or laws enacted by those states in which the students reside. The University is reviewing the regulations imposed by other states in which our current students reside to determine their applicability and the feasibility of complying with such regulations in the future.
