Q: Why was the abacus stressed out?
A: Because everyone was counting on him.
I believe I made this up and I'm pretty proud of it. It's also a bit layered for me because these past few months have been stressful.

Rick Perry Fails Govt 101: Claims Executive Orders Can Repeal Laws Passed By Congress
During Mike Huckabee's Presidential Forum on Saturday night, Rick Perry repeatedly insisted that the president has the authority to block the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, despite a recent Congressional Research Service report finding to the contrary. "The executive order obviously gives you that authority," Perry repeated four different times to Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli, who quizzed Perry on the executive branch's authority to eliminate a law duly passed by Congress:
CUCCINELLI: You said if elected you would issue an executive order to block the implementation of the federal health care law. What is your authority to unilaterally invalidate a law passed by Congress and signed by the president?
PERRY: Well, obviously an executive order. […]
CUCCINELLI: As a president, it sounds like you're ready to simply use an executive order to void this law or large parts of it that you don't agree with.
PERRY: Absolutely. And I think…
CUCCINELLI: What is your authority for that?
PERRY: The executive order obviously gives you that authority, but also as I said earlier, having men and women in those agencies that are going to share your philosophy…
CUCINELLI: You are taking the position that you can stop the implementation of a law passed by Congress, signed by the president, with an executive order?
PERRY: I am saying we can stop parts of it. The other parts of it, obviously would have to be done from the rules standpoint…
Watch it:
But a Congressional Research Service report out just last week found that while a president would be able to alter certain regulations, issuing waivers through executive authority would "likely conflict with an explicit congressional mandate and be viewed 'incompatible with the express…will of Congress.'"
"A President would not appear to be able to issue an executive order halting an agency from promulgating a rule that is statutorily required by PPACA," the report said. "A President would not appear to be able to issue an executive order halting statutorily-required programs or mandatory appropriations for a new grant or other program in PPACA."

"We're not recognizing the subgroup. I think that we're forgetting about them," said
Danielle Parrish, assistant professor in the UH Graduate College of Social Work. She is studying girls in the juvenile detention system, specifically noting how existing interventions for them are rarely different than for boys.
"The danger of treating them all the same is that we may not be helping them," she said. "We may not be providing those important ingredients that help prevent the risk behaviors and the dynamics that are bringing them into the system."
Funded by the National Institutes for Health, Parrish's pilot study examines an intervention for girls that targets multiple risk factors at once.
"The potential for this is that it would reduce costs in terms of delivering services and it would be more efficient," she said. "We don't have a lot of time with these girls when they're in the system. We have a limited window."
Collaborating with The University of Texas at Austin and the UT Medical School at Houston, the intervention includes sessions with a counselor and pediatrician to discuss HIV risks, unplanned pregnancy and smoking cessation.
"It is more holistic and more realistic to what we see in the real world. I've been a practitioner out there in the real world and I know it's hard to focus on one thing with a person when they're dealing with so many things."
Parrish says the proportion of girls in the juvenile justice system has increased, with many of them dealing with human trafficking, abuse and homelessness. She's hopeful the study lays the groundwork to change that at a broader level.
"If this intervention is feasible and shows promise, I hope it will help address and ameliorate real-world issues and help a lot of girls down the line."
Danielle Parrish is part of what's happening at the University of Houston.

With more than 400 devices scattered throughout the Spring Lake Public Schools district, educators are finding they can better meet the needs of their students, and have faster feedback after quizzes and assignments.
One of the ways the staff is incorporating technology into lesson plans is by using Edmodo, an educational website similar to the social media network Facebook. On Edmodo, teachers can post assignments or quizzes for students.
Although it was a challenge at first, Jeffers Elementary School third-grade teacher Julie Kitchel said her students have quickly learned the ins and outs of many applications they use in class.
"It's a lot of fun when they can stand up and teach each other," she said.
As the year progresses, Kitchel hopes to have her students working more in groups for project-based instruction.
After studying a character throughout a book series, Betsy Kipling's sixth-grade class at Spring Lake Intermediate School used the iMovie video-making application to create movie trailers to entice their peers into reading the series.
Kipling said one of the biggest changes to incorporating the technology is realizing she's no longer the keeper of knowledge, because the students have it right at their fingertips.
"It's so cool," she said.
Although sixth-grader Charlie Parker said it's fun using the iPad, the privilege comes with responsibility because they have to take precautions — such as not running with it or placing drinks near it.

This paleo strawberry ginger crisp is a super simple, healthy and delicious dessert.
In the absence of dessert in my house I kind of freak out. I brought home 2 big slices of fudge last week from Martha's Vineyard knowing that would last me awhile since I live with the man who doesn't like chocolate but early in the weekend I ate the last piece. I could feel the panic set in instantly. Sure, there are chocolate chips in the pantry and a jar of nutella when things get desperate but that just leads to far too many handfuls or spoonfuls of chocolateness. I can't be trusted with a full bag or jar. Who has the kind of willpower to stop themselves when it's just you, a spoon and a jar of nutella? WHO?
In these panic situations it's like my brain just leaves my body. I can't think of anything to make and it seems like there are absolutely no options whatsoever. All I hear in my head is "omg, omg, omg, you need dessert, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?!" While I was cutting up some strawberries for breakfast though, my brain came back from vacation and was all "dude, make a strawberry crisp."
Well, duh.
I make a version of this crisp all the time. Why 1. it's never made it's way onto the site until now or 2. I didn't think of it sooner in my dessert panic attack, I really don't know.
Don't let the term "paleo" scare you in this. I've been making this well before "paleo" was even a hot topic. It's really just a healthier version of a classic so if you accidentally eat half the skillet in one sitting there's absolutely nothing to feel bad about. I might know a thing or two about that.
- 3 cups chopped strawberries
- 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
- zest from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons tapioca flour/starch (you can substitute cornstarch if not paleo or arrowroot powder for this)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon cashew flour (you can just use more almond flour if you don't have cashew flour, or just make your own by grinding plain cashews in a food processor)
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- ⅓ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (in it's solid state)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8" skillet or 8x8 baking dish.
- Combine all the filling ingredients in medium bowl and toss together.
- Combine all the topping ingredients except the coconut oil in another bowl and mix together. Add the coconut oil and cut into the mixture using a fork or your fingers until it becomes a crumbly texture.
- Pour the filling into the skillet or baking dish.
- Sprinkle the topping over the filling and bake for 20 minutes. The top should just have started to turn golden brown and the fruit bubbling.
- Remove from oven, let cool a few minutes and serve warm.

Inmate costs over $18K in jail overflow
Polk County Enterprise - March 2008

Polk County is currently housing 15 inmates who are "paper ready" and awaiting transfer to state prison facilities, jail reports show. Seven inmates were transferred to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice during February. Patrol deputies logged 76,249 miles during February and answered 1,267 calls for assistance.
PCSO received 3,508 911 calls and handled another 42,336 other calls. The patrol department also provided 1,244 extra patrols for high-risk areas and 738 building checks. The sheriff's department also handled 18 mental health commitments. Seven of those commitments required out-of-county transport and 11.5 hours were spent on standby during the commitment process.

Doraemon has an app for that
A futuristic cat with a 4D-pouch. If Doraemon(ドラえもん) didn't look so scary, I'd like to have his kind hanging out with me. He is a national treasure to most Japanese, not least because like Sazae-san(サザエさん), he's lasted so many years in the turbulent world of animation. For the fans therefore, this news that there's an iPhone app (or 16) is good news. It's actually 5 entertainment apps (primarily for kids and otaku adults) and 11 comic episodes. They're all free, and has a limited download time – until 10th May. With an added perk actually: if you download all 16, you can have the effect of a Doraemon page on your iPhone, as seen in top left screenshot.

Tell Bulgaria: Stop torturing and killing animals for amusement!!!
Normal 0 MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
On the 12th of December 2011, in the "Allegro" night club in Gabrovo, Bulgaria, a horrific blood orgy took place. A small Mexican piglet, was smeared in oil and released amidst the raving drunken crowd to be caught and killed for fun. Hundreds of people were present, but not a single one of them protested or tried to save the poor animal. Instead they pounced on him. What followed was a satanic display of savagery. They broke the piglet's ribs and smashed its fragile body. They kicked and dragged the poor soul that was bleeding and screaming in agony and shock. But that was not enough for the bloodthirsty mob. Two drunken morons, identified as Iliq Malchev and Georgi Georgiev, both students at the Technical University in Gabrovo, eventually caught the piglet, took it to the bathroom and started smashing the pig's head against the wall. Then they started stabbing its trembling body with an ice pick. Then they took a knife and cut the piglet's belly open while it was still alive. The piglet's terrifying screams woke the whole neighborhood, but still nobody came to rescue. Eventually the piglet's head was cut off with extreme cruelty and raised on a stick as a trophy.
This is the idea of fun in Bulgaria, promoted by sick, perverted club owners, approved and supported by local businessmen and government officials. Although in April 2011 the Bulgarian Parliament passed an amendment to the Penal Code, which criminalized cruelty to animals, cases like this one are still common and widespread and no one has ever been investigated, caught, charged or convicted as a result.
I, the undersigned am disgusted and outraged by the idea of torturing animals to death for fun and amusement in Bulgaria. I insist that the Bulgarian authorities must do whatever it takes to expel from the Technical University and bring to justice all responsible for that sick, barbaric, public display of cruelty. Violent acts toward animals have long been recognized as indicators of a dangerous psychopathy that does not confine itself to animal abuse. As Dr Albert Schweitzer once wrote "Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives". I strongly believe, as you probably do as well, that the investigation and prosecution of crimes against animals is an important tool for identifying and punishing people who are, or may become, perpetrators of violent crimes against humans. I therefore insist that you exercise all the powers you have to enforce the Law in Bulgaria by bringing to justice the perpetrators, organizers and all accomplices to this satanic display of violence and torture in public. I shall not rest until the Bulgarian authorities show clear will and determination in dealing with crimes like that. I shall not travel to Bulgaria, buy Bulgarian goods and services, fly with Bulgarian airlines or invest in Bulgaria until your country recognizes the basic right of animals to life without torture, pain and abuse.
Yours sincerely

Tracie Thompson: Leader Dogs for the Blind
Tracie Thompson is more than a dog-lover. She has a unique ministry raising puppies. Her puppies go on to be seeing-eye dogs at the Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester, MI.
A 1991 graduate of BBC, Tracie is currently serving in youth ministry at First Baptist Church of Rochester, MI. Her husband, Mark, also a BBC alumnus, is the student ministries pastor. They have been serving in youth ministry for over 20 years.
Originally from Lancaster, NY, Tracie came to BBC to study Elementary Education. After graduation, she taught at a Christian School in NY and served in youth ministry in NY, PA, and MI. Tracie continues to impact students of all ages because of her love for God's Word and His people.
Read more In the Spotlights here.
Insight Questions
What led you to BBC?
I attended a Christian high school where I had amazing, godly Christian teachers. Several of them had come from BBC. I wanted to go there, too, to learn His Word and learn to influence lives the way my teachers had.
What program were you in and why?
I majored in Elementary Education. I wanted to be able to teach children and be a godly influence on them. I graduated in May 1991. I was involved in several things on campus, including intramural sports and music. I was also a Resident Assistant in Vibbard Hall and served as a senior class officer.
What ministries have you been involved with since your time at BBC?
I taught at Horseheads Christian School in New York for one year. I have also been a substitute teacher. I have been a youth pastor's wife for 20 years.
What or who influenced you the most at BBC?
I loved hearing fantastic chapel speakers. Dr. Jim Lytle's Principle of Bible Study class, and my dorm parents, Mel and Peggy Walker, were very instrumental.
What is the most valuable thing about your BBC education?
It is very relevant to real life. The professors and staff cared about me as a person and that made the education extremely valuable as well. The professors helped equip me to minister to others. I was grounded in the Word of God through the Bible classes and chapels.
What are some of the things you are involved with currently?
My husband, Mark, is the Student Ministries Pastor. As his wife and a youth sponsor, I am involved with Wednesday Youth Group and AWANA Journey program. I also teach junior high Sunday school, and I lead small group girls Bible studies. I love being able to influence the next generation to come to a personal relationship with Christ and to desire to serve Him. It is so hard just knowing the balance between family and ministry. It's a job that is never done.
What do you do with Leader Dogs for the Blind and how you are involved there?
Leader Dogs for the Blind is a school in Rochester, MI, that raises and trains dogs to help enhance the lives of the blind and seeing impaired. Students receiving these guide dogs come to the school to be trained to work with these dogs. I am a volunteer puppy raiser. I am currently raising my third puppy. As puppy raiser, I am given a seven-week-old puppy for one year, teaching basic obedience and socializing the puppy to new situations to prepare the dog for a life of service.
What kinds of opportunities have you had because of Leader Dogs?
Being involved with Leader Dogs for the Blind has allowed me to be part of my community. I have been able to connect with a whole group of people I would never have otherwise met.
What is your favorite thing about being involved with Leader Dogs?
As a family, we are able to do something selfless for others. I really enjoy the relationships I have established with others that volunteer at Leader Dogs for the Blind.
What is your least favorite part of that role? House training. I should buy stock in paper towels.

Perfect Women
By Cheryl Dickow
�It is evident that women are meant to form part of the living and working structure of Christianity in so prominent a manner that perhaps not all their potentialities have yet been made clear.� When John Paul II wrote Mulieris Dignitatem, his 1988 Apostolic Letter on the Dignity and Vocation of Women, he freely referred to the discourses of Paul VI, Pius XII, and John XXIII to shore up his own firm belief that women, when imbued with the Gospel, are bearers of gifts, charisms, and power (yes, he uses the word power) intended to �aid humanity in not falling.�
Imagine, �aid humanity in not falling.� That�s a powerful statement of a woman�s effectiveness and ability. So, a full twenty years after feminists took center stage and burned bras, declared their equality, and mandated a way of thinking that threw families into turmoil, John Paul II earnestly tried to set the record straight. In his document, Mulieris Dignitatem, JPII begins by exhorting what he calls �the greatness of the dignity and vocation of women.� It can be no surprise that our beloved Pope, himself in a Mary honoring relationship, would proclaim such great news within the Church and to Catholic women everywhere. One cannot be in right relationship with Christ, and His mother, and not know that Christ�s entire Messianic time on earth was exemplary in the way in which He broke with the traditional ways in which women had been mistreated to make a point. The point, as John Paul II lovingly describes, is that women understood Christ�s messages of God in a special and thoroughly unique way, a necessary way.
JPII brings into our consciousness an awareness of the women Jesus encountered and why it could be said that �Jesus� attitude to the women whom he meets in the course of his Messianic service reflects the eternal plan of God, who, in creating each one of them, chooses her and loves her in Christ:� Simon�s mother-in-law, the woman who had the flow of blood, the widow of Nain, and the Canaanite woman, to name a few. Throughout the document on the dignity and vocation of women, JPII continually draws us back to the eternal truth of a woman�s worth due to her creation by God and boldly states that woman�s creation was for its own sake, just as was man�s, and it is an error to view God�s punishment as a result of the first sin (�he shall rule over you�) to be anything other than an evil inheritance for BOTH man and woman.
In other words, where our world has interpreted that Scripture verse salaciously, JPII eloquently reminds us that God�s original intention was for a more perfect union between man and woman. Equality was originally intended to be a measure of sameness as created beings in the likeness of God. Equal but different. Indeed, when JPII writes that �In the �unity of the two,� man and woman are called from the beginning not only to exist �side by side� or �together,� but they are also called to exist mutually �one for the other,� there is no mistaking that in subjugating either of God�s highest creations, both creatures suffer and this was never God�s plan for humankind.
Whether in regards to the societal misinterpretation of such verses as Genesis 3:16 or due to women�s general misunderstanding of their own inherent worth, the �feminist� has long ago gained momentum at the expense of what JPII refers to as her own �feminine genius� when she has chosen to pursue, at great danger, her own �masculinization.� In many ways it would seem that feminism, as a means to masculinize the female species, is incompatible with the Church but most certainly incompatible with what JPII exhorts in Mulieris Dignitatem. This is to say that a Christian woman who lives and understands her call, as a disciple of Christ, cannot also find herself on the �feminist� path where her own gifts are seen as anything less than monumental; gifts to be employed for God and for His kingdom. When a feminist claims that a woman is only fulfilled when she occupies a �man�s� role in life she is simultaneously saying to a Christian woman, �The plan God has for you is less than what you should want for yourself.� Sound serpent-like?
Additionally, it should be abundantly clear that a Christian man diminishes his own dignity and vocation when he suppresses a woman�s worth and calling. As said earlier, man is also a created being made in the image and likeness of God. As such, he cannot be called by his Creator to be anything less than loving, compassionate, wise, and forgiving in how he attempts to live out his life on earth. A Christian man understands how he is called to love his wife just as Christ loves the Church. As JPII states, �The bridegroom is the one who loves. The bride is loved.� What a beautiful illustration of God�s intention when Christ made Himself the bridegroom! A Christian man, then, conforms his own will to the will of God and in doing so, frees his ...

Your idea of feminism is so misconstrued that I almost couldn't bare to finish reading the article.
You used a quotation from Pope John Paul II which stated that- The perfect woman becomes an irreplaceable support and source of spiritual strength for other people, who perceive the great energies of her spirit- a very honorable statement indeed. This is also essentially what feminists preach.
However, YOUR article implies that feminists are devilish and manipulative for believing that women should be viewed as equal to men. You said that feminists preach that women are only fulfilled when they take on a masculine role in LIFE. THIS IS NOT WHAT FEMINISTS PREACH. They believe women should attempt to break the negative stigma they hold in SOCIETY. These stigmas include being weak, stupid, only-good-for-one-thing, less than humans. Thus, feminists argue that women should attempt to hold stronger faith in their own self worth. Persuading women to take on a masculine role in society is FAR different than persuading them to take on a masculine role in life. They should not wish to become a man, but only to hold the same value in society as a man. I believe that Pope John Paul would agree that this is an admirable mindset for a woman. In light of this, I believe that you have misunderstood his writings and will remove this text from public view.

What are you doing for Memorial Day? Not this past one, or the next one, but the one after that? Judging be the box office take of the most recent Fast Five, there's a good chance you'll be in or near a theater on Ma 24, 2013, when the crew comes back to race cars and shoot guns in some sort of context for Fast & Furious 6.
The entire crew will be back in force for the third installment of the new "trilogy" that has been overseen by no less than Vin Diesel himself in a producer capacity.
The good news is that after you enjoy chases between hover-cars or whatever the hell else exists in the distant future of 2013, you will have a full month to pick your jaw up off the floor for Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges' R.I.P.D., which will hit theaters June 28, 2013.
It works out really well because you'll be able to take Mom to a Fast & Furious 6 as a late Mother's Day present, then Dad to R.I.P.D. Thanks, Universal, for making my 2013 shopping so easy.

I'd like to have better medical care but not through anything government derived. I'd like to see private industry doing more of what the government does, and lower taxes from a smaller government. I think Ron Paul would work toward that, and as a doctor would keep workable health care in mind. Right now the health care that is going through is very difficult for medical providers and that's goin to make it hard for everyone.View Thread
Worst gift? I can't really think of one because I don't get too many. My SO hates the day. I can take it or leave it, so I leave it for her sake and just try to be sweet to her at other random times.

One of the most valuable things I have ever learned is a love of learning. Wanting to know how things work and what things are, and the ability to find out, is a learned skill and the most valuable thing anyone ever taught me. I learned it from parents with a love of learning (my dad read my articles on rocketry to me as a baby) and teachers with the same. I was blessed with a non traditional education and it did me a world of good. I still didn't like some aspects of learning, such as math problems, but I love theory.
My best friend is the internet! All that information, at my fingertips! It's tremendously empowering.View Thread
Fat people telling other fat people they are fat isn't helping. We all need to eat less processed foods, less corn syrup, less fillers. We all need to become closer to the sources of our food. Increased government involvement in education has lowered the standards, not increased them.
Ultimately, parents have to be motivated to live healthy lives and pass that on to their kids. Less TV, more recess, less time sitting, more time moving. For both parent and child. French fries do not count as a vegetable. But it's up to the parents. Do they want to live unhappy, unhealthy lives? Yes, there are many lies in the media about what is safe and good to eat.
But everyone needs to educate themselves! It's no one else's responsibility. The choice is in the hands of every person, along with the higher insurance premiums, the shorter lives, and the misery. Or the success.View Thread
People get bored! When I did Atkins I had terrible carb cravings. I happen to be doing the Paleo thing right now but that allows me enough variety to eat what my body is asking for. And for the first time in my life it's asking for lean meats and fruits and veggies and NOT asking for refined sugar or bread!
Everybody is different. Some might do really well on an Okinawan diet for example. I just know I've found what I do want, and don't want.View Thread

Nuts to You
I've always been a nut about nuts. Back when I was a kid in the Parkmead School cafeteria, my mouth watered whenever I pulled a peanut butter sandwich out of my crumpled lunch sack. Saturday matinees at the El Rey weren't complete without the crunchy nirvana of an Almond Joy candy bar. And I was ecstatic when Mom and Dad popped open a can of cashews for their bridge parties.
Then I grew up, was told that nuts are salty and fattening, and for a while did my best to snack on carrots and celery instead. But those days are done: I'm back to devouring nuts. Yes, they're laden with fat—a mere handful contains around 200 calories—but I now know they're fats that are good for me. In fact, the formerly naysaying experts have come full circle, and now are encouraging us to eat nuts on a regular basis.
"For years, the high calorie content of nuts gave them a bad rap," says Christine Rosenbloom, a professor of nutrition and associate dean at Georgia State University. "But a growing number of studies confirm their value as part of a healthy, balanced diet."
What makes nuts so healthy? Take your pick. They're packed with vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients. They're full of fiber. And they're loaded with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, specifically the omega-3s so highly touted these days for reducing the risk of stroke, arthritis, and heart disease. The FDA has even okayed health claims on some packaged nuts, including almonds, pistachios, peanuts, walnuts, and pecans; labels can now say that eating about 1.5 ounces a day of most nuts "as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol" may lower your risk of heart disease.
Last September, nuts got another boost when the Journal of the American Medical Association published a pair of studies suggesting that Europeans who follow a healthy lifestyle and a Mediterranean diet, which includes plenty of nuts, are blessed with a lower incidence not just of heart disease but of cancer as well—and lead demonstrably more robust lives. And a separate study from Harvard published in 2002 found that women who ate peanut butter or other nut products five or more times a week significantly lowered their risk of Type 2 diabetes.
That was all the excuse I needed. And since I started eating nuts again, I've noticed that my borderline-high blood pressure has dropped. I can't give nuts all the credit—I'm working on cutting out some of the stress in my life, too—but there could be a connection. Studies suggest that most nuts are high in the amino acid arginine, which helps relax blood vessels. Still, what I'm enjoying most about the good news on nuts is not necessarily the health payoff, but that a peanut butter sandwich is no longer a guilty pleasure.
Carrot-Ginger-Cashew Soup
This is a tangy cool-season comfort food that's loaded with distinctive flavors and antioxidant-rich ingredients. The blended cashews add a creamy dimension to this soup, along with muscle-fueling protein and heart-healthy oils. (Adapted from Morris Press Cookbooks; cookbooks4sale.com)
1 1/2 pounds carrots, raw (peeled and washed)
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1/4 cup gingerroot, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
7 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup dry white wine (optional)
1 1/2 cups cashew nuts, unsalted and either raw or dry-roasted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
(orange juice may be substituted)
Curry and/or coriander powder,
one pinch or to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Peel and cut carrots into half-inch pieces. Place oil or butter in large stock pot over medium heat. Add onion, ginger, and garlic; sauté for about 15 minutes. Add broth, carrots, and (if using) wine. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered over medium heat until carrots are tender (about 45 minutes). Purée in blender with cashews. Season with juice, curry, coriander, salt, and pepper, as desired. Serve hot or cold with garnish. Serves 6.
Roasted Bell Pepper and Nut Salad
As colorful as it is yummy, this easy-to-make salad marries the spicy sweetness (and ample vitamin C) of fresh peppers with the crunchy boldness of nuts. (Adapted from Santa Fe Memories, by Richard Mahler.)
2 large orange bell peppers, halved and seeded
2 large green bell peppers, halved and seeded
2 large red bell peppers, halved and seeded
2 large yellow bell peppers, halved and seeded
1/2 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Salt, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Red pepper or chipotle pepper flakes, to taste
1/2 to 3/4 cup unsalted raw or dry-roasted nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, or pine nuts are recommended)
Preheat oven to 400°. Slice halves, top to bottom, and place them in a large bowl. Pour oil over the peppers and toss to coat. Place peppers, cut side up, on two or three baking sheets (make sure sides are high enough to collect the juices). Sprinkle lightly and evenly with salt. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes or until peppers are soft and skins are slightly blackened.
Rearrange baking sheets during cooking, if needed, to ensure even blackening of peppers.
Remove from oven and leave peppers on baking sheets. When cool enough to handle, peel peppers, then cut them into quarter-inch strips. In a large bowl, combine peppers and cooking juices, along with the remaining olive oil and vinegar, and toss lightly to coat. Cover and refrigerate, or let stand, at least an hour before serving.
When ready to serve, drain peppers and transfer to a serving platter or bowl, discarding marinade. Season with additional salt, if needed, and pepper flakes; sprinkle with nuts. Serves 6.
Pasta with Winter Squash and Walnuts
In this tasty, low-cost dish, nutrient-dense walnuts sharpen the mild flavor of cooked squash and boost the protein level as well. (Adapted from the book Eating Well for Optimum Health, by Andrew Weil.)
1 pound winter squash (buttercup, kabocha, or banana); peeled, seeded, and cubed
1 pound dried pasta (bow ties, shells, or penne)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, raw and unsalted
Salt and black or red pepper, to taste
Grated Parmesan cheese, to taste
Place the squash in a saucepan with a little water, cover, and steam until soft. Drain and mash. Cook pasta until al dente.
While pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in skillet, add garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds. Add mashed squash, parsley, and salt and pepper.
Toss drained pasta with squash mixture and top it with walnuts and cheese.
Serves 6.
Going Nuts
Nuts may be good for you, but that doesn't mean it's okay to eat them any old way. The less they're fussed with, the healthier they'll be for you. Here are some guidelines for making the most of them.
Keep it simple. You won't be doing your weight or your blood pressure any favors by indulging in nuts that are roasted in oil, excessively salted, or sweetened with honey or sugar. But raw nuts often don't taste good. "It's best to eat them dry-roasted, and minimally salted," says Texas Children's Hospital nutritionist Roberta Anding.
Don't overdo it. Most nuts pack 160 to 190 calories and 14 to 19 grams of fat into a single ounce. "Consider putting single handfuls in plastic bags to snack on," says nutritionist Christine Rosenbloom of Georgia State University. "That way you won't end up eating too many."
Buy a better butter. Peanut butter has a higher percentage of saturated fat than some other nut butters and many conventional brands contain sweeteners or partially hydrogenated oils to improve spreadability. Look instead for natural peanut, almond, and cashew nut butters, which are free of trans fatty acids and other additives.
Store smart. As a rule, whole nuts stay fresh longer. That's because a nut's fat is concentrated in its oils, which can oxidize and turn rancid when chopped, heated, or exposed to air or dampness. Once opened, containers of nuts and nut butters do best in the refrigerator. For long-term storage of whole nuts, use the freezer. "Most nuts have an optimum shelf life of two months at cool room temperatures, eight months in the fridge, and up to a year in the freezer," says dietitian Cheryl Forberg, author of Stop the Clock! Cooking.
Be allergy aware. Peanuts, which are actually a legume, and tree nuts, such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts, are a leading cause of serious food allergies. Before serving anything made with nuts, be sure to let your guests know.

Matisyahu shot to fame in 2004 as a crossover reggae phenomenon in the traditional Hasidic uniform of thick beard, black hat, black pants and white shirt • Many of his songs focus on Jewish themes and use lyrics from Jewish scripture • Does not say if shaving his beard means he is leaving Orthodoxy or becoming secular.
NEW YORK — New York City-based Hasidic reggae superstar Matisyahu is on a new religious path, but it is unclear which one. Matisyahu shaved off his beard and posted his bare-faced photos Tuesday on Twitter, and says on his website that he once felt the need for religious rules so he would not fall apart.
Now he says he's reclaiming himself. But it is unclear whether he is leaving Orthodoxy. He says he still goes to synagogue each day.Get the Israel Hayom newsletter sent to your mailbox!
His spokeswoman said he was not giving interviews.
Matisyahu was a musical curiosity who became a mainstream star after his 2004 debut, "Shake Off The Dust ... Arise." He sported the bushy beard, flat-brimmed black hat, black pants and white shirt worn by Hasidic men. His biggest single, "King Without a Crown," was a crossover hit.

(Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)By Ben GolliverA Florida lawyer is reportedly suing the Spurs after coach Gregg Popovich rested four of his players during a nationally televised game against the Heat in Miami in November.ESPN.com reports that Larry McGuinness alleges that the Spurs violated Florida's "deceptive and fair trade practices law" when Popovich sent Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Danny Green and Tony Parker to San Antonio rather than suit them up against the Heat.On Monday, Larry McGuinness filed a class action suit in Miami-Dade County, stating that the team's head coach, Gregg Popovich, "intentionally and surrepticiously" [sic] sent their best players home without the knowledge of the league, the team and the fans attending the Nov. 29 game against the Heat. McGuinness contends that he, as well as other fans, "suffered economic damages" as a result of paying a premium price for a ticket that shouldn't cost more...."It was like going to Morton's Steakhouse and paying $63 for porterhouse and they bring out cube steak," said McGuinness, who said he bought his ticket on the resale market. "That's exactly what happened here."NBA commissioner David Stern fined the Spurs $250,000 for Popovich's strategic resting."The result here is dictated by the totality of the facts in this case," Stern said in a statement explaining the fine. "The Spurs decided to make four of their top players unavailable for an early-season game that was the team's only regular-season visit to Miami. The team also did this without informing the Heat, the media, or the league office in a timely way. Under these circumstances, I have concluded that the Spurs did a disservice to the league and our fans."Stern also issued an apology to fans shortly after Popovich's decision to rest his players became clear."I apologize to all NBA fans," Stern said. "This was an unacceptable decision by the San Antonio Spurs and substantial sanctions will be forthcoming."Popovich, who had strategically rested players before without incurring a fine, didn't see anything wrong with resting his players against the Heat."We've done this before in hopes of making a wiser decision, rather than a popular decision," Popovich told reporters, according to the San Antonio Express-News. "It's pretty logical."Stern's fine drew criticism from broadcaster Jeff Van Gundy and Celtics coach Doc Rivers, among others.It's difficult to believe this lawsuit will prove successful. The Spurs who did show up didn't exactly play like "cube steak" or chopped liver, pushing the defending champions to the final minute before losing 105-100. Of course, the "$63 porterhouse" that McGuinness compares his ticket to doesn't quite work if he paid above face value on the secondary market. No one besides McGuinness can be held responsible for any price above the original value of the ticket and, it's worth noting for total clarity's sake, McGuinness paid for a ticket to a game between the Spurs and Heat, which he received. Unlike games on a nightly basis, it was even an entertaining one. If he purchased his ticket solely to see specific players, he surely assumes the risks that go with them not being available. A better steakhouse analogy goes like this: McGuinness took a risk by paying premium to go to an elite steakhouse on a busy night. There, he was served a top-dollar steak that came out looking noticeably different from the picture on the menu, but still offered a top-shelf taste and was crafted as described. Is it understandable if he left a tad disappointed? Of course. Is McGuinness due exactly the steak pictured on the menu and are the Spurs legally obligated to refund his bill plus provide "economic damages"? Of course not. Promoted Stories Comments

The more customizable, the more intuitive and the faster a camera and its operation, the easier it is to concentrate on capturing the best images in the world. With Firmware Update Version 2.0.3, the customization options for operation of the EOS-1D X DSLR camera are expanded in a number of significant ways, enabling tailored AF modes, AF point selection, even review. All this with one thing in mind: to make using the EOS-1D X effortless, for better photography, faster.
Firmware Update Version 2.0.3 gives users the option to individually customize the and AF-ON buttons to change settings on the fly. It's now simple to select AF start point, AI Servo characteristics, AF mode, and even Super High Speed Mode for up to 14.0 fps continuous shooting with the press of a button. Either button can even be programmed to toggle between AI Servo focus and One-Shot AF, meaning faster, enhanced control.
Firmware Update Version 2.0.3 allows the photographer to maintain a chosen AF point when switching over to 61-point Auto Selection AF. Another leap forward in the customization of the EOS-1D X DSLR camera, the camera can not only stay on the same AF point, it can be programmed to return to a chosen AF point when switching AF point selection modes.
Whereas it's always been possible to program the EOS-1D X DSLR camera to automatically switch AF points and point selection modes according to the camera's orientation, with Firmware Update Version 2.0.3 it's now possible to program only the AF point, without having the camera save the AF Point Selection mode as well.
For faster review of images that have been protected, Firmware Update Version 2.0.3 improves playback options whereby photographers can choose to review only protected images. Where it was possible to review only rated images, this new feature saves time, allowing the photographer to rate images later on in the workflow.

Metabolism and other body changes exacerbate wintertime issues
SUNDAY, Jan. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Hypothermia, frostbite, and falls are among the winter-related dangers faced by older adults, warns the American Geriatrics Society's Foundation for Health in Aging.
They're more susceptible to hypothermia, or dangerously low body temperature, in part because older people have a slower metabolism and produce less body heat than younger people, the society said. In addition, it added, body changes can make it harder for older people to tell when the outside temperature is too low.
To prevent hypothermia, older adults should:
Call 911 if you think you or someone else has hypothermia.
Frostbite is also a danger in extreme cold. It usually affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers and toes. People with heart disease and other circulation problems are more likely to get frostbite.
To protect against frostbite, you should:

If you're interested in a college that's out of your price range, the standard advice is to apply anyway. After all, the school could offer you a generous financial aid package that substantially reduces its cost of attendance.
While I tend to agree with this advice, it has two serious shortcomings.
The first is that it requires a student to put time and energy into application forms without having any idea whether a school will be a viable option, financially.
The second comes into play when a student is granted admission but receives an underwhelming financial aid package. Simply put, it is very hard for students and families to say "no" to an offer of admission from a dream school, even if they cannot afford it.
Wouldn't it be great if students could get a sense of what a school might really cost—after financial aid—before they apply?
Fortunately, this wish is close to becoming a reality.
According to the New York Times blog The Choice, all U.S. colleges and universities will soon provide students with a "net price calculator" that will estimate one year's cost of attendance after need-based financial aid. Estimates will be based on student-provided information about their family and its finances.
All schools must make their net price calculator available by October 29, and many schools already have theirs posted. Check the financial aid offices of the school on your list.
Note, however, that these calculators only provide estimates, not financial aid offers. Additionally, they do not include any merit-based financial aid a student might receive.

- You can use any food color according to your wish.
- Reduce the flour by 1/4 cup and replace it with cocoa powder to get a chocolate maida burfi. However, do not add the cocoa powder while roasting flour but add it on step-4.

Suspect spent $100K with stolen cards
by By Wes Mayer
A man was shot with an electronic stun gun and later arrested for using stolen credit cards at the Sam's Club on Fischer Road.
Authorities are investigating the stolen cards, which they believe may have been used to purchase more than $100,000 in gift cards.
Deputies Mitch McEachern and Misty Angel responded Tuesday to calls from employees and found Brian Jamal Garland, 22, running out of the Sam's Club. Garland resisted and officers used a stun device to bring him down, according to Investigator Chad McDonald with the Coweta County Sheriff's Office.
Garland was charged with obstruction and battery, McDonald said. Deputies discovered seven different counterfeit credit cards in Garland's possession, and he was also charged with seven counts of forgery in the second degree.
McDonald said Sam's Club's own financial investigators determined Garland used 231 different credit card accounts to purchase more than $118,000 in gift cards at numerous Sam's Club stores in the Atlanta area since May 8. Garland used 83 of these credit card accounts in Coweta County.
"It is very common in fraud cases for the suspects to use stolen credit cards to purchase gift cards," McDonald said. "They can pawn them, sell them or even use the gift cards for themselves, and it is a lot more difficult to trace gift cards."
McDonald is awaiting confirmation from the banks involved, and he will be looking for any additional video surveillance evidence incriminating Garland.
"It is an ongoing case," McDonald said. "I anticipate more charges to come."
Currently it is unknown if Garland only purchased gift cards in Sam's Club stores. Because gift cards are so difficult to trace, the only agencies with the resources to fully investigate Garland would be federal agencies, McDonald said, and $118,000 is not typically a large enough amount of money for them.
On top of his nine charges in Coweta County, Garland also had outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court in Clayton County and for violation of probation for a 2011 conviction of forgery in the second degree in Henry County. This makes Garland a repeat offender, McDonald said, and he will also be extradited to face those charges.

Dinner at Davio's in Midtown East
New York is pretty saturated with Italian restaurants, and there are not a lot of places that I've felt the desire to revisit. Davio's is one of the exceptions. Everything from their beautiful ambiance, to their hand-rolled potato gnocchi with organic mushroom, basil and truffle oil that practically melt in your mouth made my dining experience there a couple months ago with my friend Priya and her daughter Madina one of the best. I've since went back a couple times, and tell everyone about it. Their menu is on the pricey side (apps averaging $15, where dinner plates are closer to $28-$30), but they show you it's worth it. Some of their highlights:
Delicious salad with roasted baby beets, goat cheese, hazelnuts, and a beet vinaigrette:
When I asked for another vegetarian option for salad, the chef put together a fresh, special mix here:
Scarlatto in Times Square
A good restaurant in Times Square is almost an anomaly. If I need to find something near midtown, I'll usually resort to something down 9th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen. When I was trying to find a place to meet my friend Sheryl, I thought I'd hunt for something that would be close to her work and my apartment. I have an ongoing list of restaurants I keep handy that I haven't been to, but none of them fell in midtown. So I began scouring restaurants on MenuPages.com, and came across Scarlatto, and Italian restaurant on 47th, near Broadway. The prices were surprisingly decent for the area, so I was already suspicious. I went over to Yelp and checked out some pictures and decided it was worth a try.
It has a cozy, pleasant interior that's somewhere midway between being formal with their decked-out-in-white tables, but still casual with large framed prints of Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday. We started with the fried calamari and crispy zucchini. I've had better calamari, and the zucchini tasted like chips but combination was still satisfying, and helped to appease our ravenous appetite right then.

ITM's Local Producers You Need To Hear: The Sequel
Wed 27th Jun, 2012 Featuresin
When ITM named its first stack of acts in The New Breed of emerging Australian producers to watch at the end of May it was clear that keeping the list to 20 just wasn't enough. Not only were eagle-ear'd ITMers offering their own suggestions at the best talent bubbling up around the country but there were plenty of names that couldn't squeeze into that original list. What was also clear was that ITM's praise alone wasn't enough and that tunes from the artists themselves were needed to show off that seldom-discovered talent. So let's tick off both of those demands with the next installment in ITM's New Breed series.
As someone whose actual job it is to search out and find new music from rising Australian acts it feels like I could make a new list like this each week; that's just how strong the talent out there is. And it moves so bloody quickly. Since the first edition of The New Breed bowed on ITM I've become enamoured by a heap of new artists doing incredible things off their own bat.
This list doesn't even touch on the wealth of promising live dance acts like Dream Delay, City Calm Down, Bastian's Happy Flight, Sun City and Tokyo Denmark Sweden, focusing rather on electronic producers on the rise. And still, talk to me next week and there'll be a whole new crop of favourites.
Charles Murdoch
With any luck this won't be your first exposure to Charles Murdoch, though you may not know it immediately. As well as making up 1/4 of Queensland live disco outfit Mitzi, Murdoch gained a heap of blog love under the Charlie Why a tenure under which saw a release on Bang Gang 12 Inches. As a member of the new Australian beats movement Murdoch has seemingly saved his best work for now, releasing tracks online with alarming frequency and showing off a knack for bright 'n bent electronics and springy production tracks. For me Compatible is Murdoch's earliest masterstroke with a wonderfully lush build and a dip (I won't call it a drop) that gives so much more than it should.
Charles Murdoch – 'Compatible'
Charles Murdoch – 'Ahama'
Grey and Patrice
That Adam Bozzetto is one talented dude. As well as DJing around Sydney and playing an integral role in the Heaps Decent initiative, Bozzetto made it onto the last edition of The New Breed for his work with Kato as Wordlife. But somehow it gets better when he's producing as Grey And Patrice, a new start-up moniker trading in floaty sample collages. Dreaming Dreams is the standout offering thus far in my books with the sped up vocal loops and jittery beat evoking the long dormant Avalanches sound.
Grey and Patrice – 'Dreaming Dreams'
Grey and Patrice – 'So Beautiful'
North Pollard
Tom Pollard's work as North Pollard has been impressing me for a minute now and I'm not the only one who he's won over, having recently played some sets outside of Australia and releasing on the UK's Audio Parallax Records. You can sum up his sound with a listen to newish tune Phoenixmauritus, an unassuming club number in the key of classic house that doesn't waste a bar of its five minute length. It's all beachy percussion and deep filter effects that reveal an exquisite gift for production from this dude.
North Pollard – 'Phoenixmauritus'
North Pollard – 'Lost in Kyoto'
Set aside whatever judgements you might hold for Adelaide; right now theirs is a music community as vital as any other city's in the country. Serious, that place is spawning new gems on a weekly basis these days – I could rattle on at length about acts like Oisima, Rummage, Symphonia and Collarbones of course – but let's take a moment to shout about Brokers. I'm so impressed with these guys as they seem like legit originals of the local electronic beats scene. Instead of the standard bedroom introvert Brokers gives you five times the audio genius, making them ready for live show duty. What's better is they're not afraid to throw around their influences, with beats and saxophones colliding to form some kind of jazzy Junior Boys hip-hop sound. From the future.

The Weekender
I don't care if Monday's black, (it was), Tuesday, Wednesday – heart attack (more of an issue), Thursday never looking back (ok), it's Friday, I'm in love! All aboard the good ship Weekender!
Best of the blog
This week we fell in love with Lana del Ray's video for Video Games and watched it more than is probably normal. Talking of normal, the masterful Ursus Wehrli is on a one-man mission to normalise the inherent randomness of everyday life, which is fascinating. And talking of fascination, none other than film director Garth Jennings gave us a whizz round his Bookshelf this week. I need a lie down.
Best of the rest
The indefatigable Coolhunter team wowed us with a wonderful feast for the eyes all about wood, this fabulous blog showed us how the people of Libya are marking their defiance through street art and graffiti and this amazing video on io9 gave us a glimpse at the earliest pixar animation around.
Tweet of the week
"Looking in the mirror just felt really mundane so I added a plaintive 'Who am I?'"
@lenadunham goes in for some magnificent melodrama.
Niche hobby of the week (in playlet form)
– What's that? Yeah I'm into culture too. Yeah, no, definitely. I actually have my own website.
– Oh wow. What kind of website?
– Design I suppose you'd call it. Product design…
– You are just full of surprises. What kind of things do you feature?
– Aeroplane sick bags mostly.
– Get away from me.
Mental image of the week
This is absolutely beautifully written, and the escalator story is an elegiac meditation on the nature of loyalty and love. Kind of.
Law enforcer of the week
The London police force have had a rough ride over recent weeks, with many "media commentators" suggesting they are out of touch with real people. Well watch this video of the Met's finest owning the Notting Hill Carnival "media commentators" – and shut the heck up! (Found via viceland.com)
Last minute holiday plans of the week
The tale of the poor drunken elk has done the rounds this week, but the brilliant line: "It is not unusual…to see elk drunk in Sweden during autumn" almost made me get on a plane bound for Stockholm there and then.
Simple pleasure of the week
If this doesn't make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside, you should probably see someone (YOU HEARTLESS DRONE).
I see your Friday and I raise you a Saturday – represent!
