Recipe: Buffalo Style Beef Empanadas
This Beef Empanadas recipe is adapted from Pillsbury…. It's very simple… but I do have some tips to make it successful…
The recipe calls for Pillsbury Grands! Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits. When you roll these into 6 inch rounds… they end up pretty big…. I would say almost sandwich size…. for a party … I would use the refrigerated biscuits (small ones)…. Roll them out to half the size (3 inch) these are… and bake them about 8-10 minutes…. keep an eye on them so the tops don't burn.
Another tip …. You really need to flour your board and hands if you are rolling these or pressing these into shape…. It's easier to roll them out with a rolling pin. I actually measured the first one… apparently I am not a good judge of size… I was way off… getting a fairly accurate size will help these to cook properly and prevent the filling from leaking.
The beef can be browned and stored in the fridge until you make these…. You can also make them ahead… be sure they are lightly floured so they don't stick to the container or waxed paper when you stack them in the container.
These would make a great Saturday night supper with a plate of nachos or maybe potato skins. The Empanadas are quite filling.
You can use any Buffalo wing sauce that you like… we didn't know what to choose… so we guessed…. and we lucked out with a great sauce…. It's called "Texas Pete Buffalo Style Chicken Wing Barbecue Sauce"….
Serve these with Bleu Cheese or Ranch Dressing….. yummmmm
One last tip… the recipe was written for ground beef… cooked chicken would go just as well…
Buffalo Style Beef Empanadas Recipe:
All you need:
¾ pound ground beef or cooked chicken, diced
½ cup chopped green onions
1/3 cup purchased Buffalo wing sauce
1 (16.3 oz.) can Pillsbury Grands! Refrigerated Buttermilk Biscuits
1 cup shredded Cheddar – Monterey Jack cheese
½ cup purchased bleu cheese or ranch dressing
All you need to do:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Brown the beef in a skillet over medium high heat until no longer pink, stirring frequently.
Break up the beef into small pieces.
Drain the beef.
Combine in a medium bowl, the browned beef, chopped green onions and Buffalo wing sauce.
On a floured board, roll out each biscuit into 6 inch circles.
Put about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of meat mixture on half of each circle.
Top the meat with about 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
Fold the one side of the circle over the side with the filling.
Press the edges firmly to seal.
Bake 12-14 minutes or until golden brown.

American men and women can expect to blow out their birthday candles at an average age of 75 and 80 respectively. That sounds respectable, globally speaking. But American women's life expectancy - hold onto your hats - ranks next to last and men dead last in "17 peer" countries studied in a joint National Research Council and the Institute of Medicine report - countries such as Australia, Canada, Japan and most of Europe.
Americans not only die sooner, but also suffer higher rates of diseases and injuries than other high-income countries, the report found.

|Initiating Hehe () medical system of traditional chinese medicine and biomedicine to realize health cycle of human beings.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22139547 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|This paper suggests a novel approach concerning the medical treatment of human beings, which appears to be economically and practically superior to either biomedicine or traditional medicine. A brand new medical system-Hehe () medicine, has been proposed based on a preventive-biomedical-psycho-social treatment model. This is characterized by a dual approach in which life nurturing is consistently practised and medical treatment is applied when necessary in order to maintain a healthy life. Its core value would facilitate the self-restoration to health and self-adaptation to nature through health cultivation and medical means. Medical services would be firstly provided to the prevention of potential disease germinating in the human body, and clinical medical treatment would be the last resort of systematic medical practice. This paper discusses not only this new concept but also the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and biomedicine, especially how both medical systems compare in cognitive style, on a cultural level, and on a technical level.

Sonata Chorus
The Sonata Chorus is not so much a product but a bespoke design item to allow for room acoustics to be installed with high visual impact, as well as excellent wide band absorption. Chorus is a collection of specifically sized Aurio panels of different thicknesses, that when grouped together, form a grid work of high performance panels.
The smaller sizes of the panels allows them to be arranged into visually pleasing wall patterns and shapes.
Groups of tiles are often of different fabric colours to allow for further visual impact.
As with the Aurio, the Chorus is a directly bonded product.

When folks visit the Blue Bell Creamery in Brenham, it's ice cream that their taste buds crave.
But it's a sweet treat for the eyes that's turning heads as a local artist churns out his contribution to the new ice cream parlor.
"I have people in Navasota today that I'm sure don't know what I do for a living," said mural painter Russell Cushman.
Cushman has lived in Navasota for almost 40 years and for the past 15, he's painted murals. Chances are you've seen his work.
"I started in Navasota with a snake on the gymnasium wall and that grew into other jobs and then pretty soon, I was going all over the place," said Cushman.
His work can be found at the Bush International Airport in Houston, Washington On The Brazos, and several area schools.
Now he's working on a mural titled Blue Bell, bluebonnets, and baseball.
Cushman is one of several talented Texas artists with Navasota roots.
Sculptor Payne Lara and painter Leon Collins are a few other area artists that are bringing in big city buyers to little Navasota.
"It's a nice place to live and it's got a lot of inspiring history and natural beauty. It's not sure why it is, it is funny though. I can't think another town around that has as many artists that have achieved what we have," said Cushman.
And even though the everyday visitor to Blue Bell won't know just who had a hand behind the mural, Russell enjoys his life as an everyday artist.
"The bottom line is I get to do what I love to do. I think that an artist is used to the idea that he conveys ideas almost anonymously anyway because they can't meet their audience. As long as the people who need the art know who I am, that's all that matters," said Cushman.
And with work like this, Russell's name is getting as big as his murals.
Russell earns anywhere from $2500 dollars to $25,000 for his murals. If you'd like to see more of his work including his paintings, you can check out his gallery at the Blues Alley in Navasota.

Starfarers by Poul Anderson
Pointlike sources of X-rays with radio tails are discovered in a narrow region of the sky. Parallax measurements show them to be five thousand light years distant and these objects seem to be traveling at nearly the speed of light. It becomes gradually clear that they are alien spacecraft. From observations, scientists understand how such near-lightspeed travel is accomplished, and humanity is finally able to cross the vast interstellar distances.
The novel follows the journey of a small group of people who leave our solar system to make contact with these newly discovered aliens. Not only do they face first contact with several new species, but due to relativistic time-dilation they can return only after ten millenia have passed on Earth.
This is a very entertaining book to read, however it suffers from many shortcomings. Despite being published in 1998, the latest offering by veteran sf author Poul Anderson remains firmly in the `old-school' tradition of hard-sf writing. In this novel, when humanity explores the stars there is no delicate balance between manned and unmanned missions. All the exploration is structured in the grand tradition of the Apollo moon missions. There is a captain and a crew and all the other trappings of the more vulgar brand of sf.
Poul Anderson clearly wants to explore the various problems that a band of space travelers would face in their social isolation and the psychological effects of time dilation, however he doesn't present any radical new views on this topic here. Also, in my view the aliens are not interesting enough until the penultimate act of the story where the aliens become much more interesting but at the same time there is silly speculation about mind-body duality and a tacky subplot injected to increase the amount of `action' in the story. The problem of the language barrier is addressed but it isn't tackled in a compelling way. However, despite all its shortcomings, in the final act the novel does contain several interesting speculations and has a satisfying conclusion.
It is instructive to take a look at other hard-sf published around the same time as this novel that take the speed of light seriously in their descriptions of space travel and examine social relations in space travelers in more radical terms, e.g. "Vast" by Linda Nagata and also "Diaspora" by Greg Egan.

It has taken three years for the Green Bay Packers to get a stat line out of James Starks that resembles one full NFL season.
Since the Packers selected Starks in the sixth round in 2010, the 6-foot-2 running back hasnt been able to stay healthy through an assortment of hamstring, shoulder, ankle, knee and toe injuries.
In those three seasons, hes played in 22 of a possible 48 regular-season games with 233 carries for 934 yards and two touchdowns.
Starks will turn 27 next month after playing six games in 2012 despite entering the season as the preferred starter until sustaining a turf toe injury that sidelined him for two months.
Starks played 125 offensive snaps upon his return, including a 25-carry performance against Detroit on Dec. 18, but fell victim to a knee bruise against Minnesota on Dec. 2 and didnt play again.
So what do the Packers have in Starks?
I think he can be a guy in a stable of backs that can be a great change-of-pace back, come in there and split carries with whoever is in the room, Packers running backs coach Alex Van Pelt said. The health is obviously a concern.
When healthy, Starks talent is hard to miss. He had 71 carries for 255 yards this season (3.6 yards per carry), but showcased a hard, one-cut running style the coaches dont want to change.
In the days after the Packers 45-31 loss to San Francisco in the NFC divisional playoffs, Van Pelt sat down with Starks and reiterated to him to not get discouraged.
It is frustrating, but it makes you better at the same time, Starks said earlier this month. Basically going through this all the time you learn how much you love football and what you need to do better. It makes you stronger, you learn from every mistake. I had a lot of mistakes, a lot of little mishaps and stuff like that. Each year I get better.
After three injury-riddled seasons, Van Pelt expects Starks luck to change.
Its so frustrating for him, Van Pelt said. He has a fate thing. Its bad luck. I think if he keeps working hard, persisting and puts the work in during the offseason, it has to turn for him at some point. He did some impressive things when he was in there.
We felt highly enough of him to have him be the guy in there, so its just a matter of him staying healthy and catching a break.

Microsoft redesigns iOS, Android versions of OneNote
updated 02:51 pm EDT, Mon July 1, 2013
Incluches rich formatting, consistent look across devices
Microsoft has debuted redesigned iPhone, iPad, and Android editions of OneNote. All three apps have been rebuilt with more reliable sync functions, as well as some background tweaks which should make it easier for Microsoft to issue updates. More significantly, notes should now appear the same across all platforms, including Windows, Windows Phone, and the web.
Notes can now use rich formatting, and content can be synced to SkyDrive Pro via a SharePoint or Office 365 account. Microsoft has removed an earlier 500-note cap, but states that the apps will only be free "for a limited time."
There are are also a collection of platform-specific improvements. The iPhone version is now properly formatted for the iPhone 5, while the iPad edition uses an Office-style ribbon interface. Android users have gained access to homescreen widgets with quick actions for recording photo or new audio notes.

It already seemed like a legacy.
Found in November 2012 on a back shelf of the former Daily Tribune building: one outsized, dilapidated, cardboard box, scrawled with a familiar overflowing script, "Mark Scarborough."
Here were gathered the last scraps of an abundant miscellany that represented the former Tribune reporter and columnist.
Six months later, on June 11, I had finally packed up two of his awards (second and third) also found at the Tribune, to send to Mark. But destiny would have it that, on the very same day, mutual friend Michael Hittner of Historic Point Basse called to tell me it was too late.
Mark, by then an all-purpose journalist at the Edgerton Reporter, had joined another employee outside on a park bench where Mark suffered a "seizure" from which he could not be revived.
"I thought he was going to write my obituary," I told Mike, of the younger historian who had seemed on course to assume my role.
When he came to the Tribune in 1985, Mark was a wide-awake 26-year-old, fresh from Edgerton, Wis., the "tobacco city" he had covered for the Janesville Gazette beginning in 1979.
The same Gazette ran a retrospective June 12 of this year that portrayed Mark's desk at Edgerton where the then 53-year-old was inundated by material objects: books on vampires, Babe Ruth, Jack Dempsey (and Sterling North); John Wilkes Booth bobble-head doll; faded portrait of Mother; children's books from the Edgerton Book Festival Mark organized; photos for his book on Edgerton; and journalism awards (seven firsts).
For the pile on his Tribune desk in the 1980s, add his "Our Town" and "Over the Rapids" columns; scribblings for Riverwood Roundtable and Mid-State Poetry Towers; books like his "Blackberries Grown Wild" and "River City Memoirs"; files on Edith Nash, Frances Hamerstrom, Point Basse and Ed Gein; and scripts for Wisconsin Rapids Community Theatre.
Greg Peck, a former Tribune editor now at Janesville, described "such a mess that our cops and courts reporter got yellow police tape, and wrapped his desk in it."
Besides his work space, much about Mark was abundant. His funeral at the Congregational United Church of Christ across from the Reporter in downtown Edgerton was overflowing with amused affection from a variety of those who had been touched.
The preacher said Mark, a member of the choir, brightened her mornings by telling jokes over the phone. (On May 26, he left on her Facebook page: "Much affection and love to you and yours from moi.")
According to Mark's second-grade teacher, when Mark should have been studying, he was drawing pictures. His cousin spoke of Mark's distress with boyish roughhousing; a friend told a story about Mark falling out of a boat.
Reporter editor Diane Everson said Mark skipped school in junior high to see 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern. A young barista was thankful Mark encouraged her writing; a gay male praised a sensitive story Mark had written about him.
A former city leader said Mark brought to meetings a fierce defense of good and proper government. He left everything until the last minute, said Mike Hittner, but came through in the end; Mike's wife, Barb, said Mark treated their children with disarming respect.
Mark's father, Everett, told me that as a young boy, Mark insisted they visit every possible Civil War site. He said some of the vehicles overflowing their driveway stored Mark's historical collections.
Photographer Donna Browne said Mark continued to exhibit the same giant and genial persona she had known onstage at UW-Whitewater.
Here, Mark's saunter belied his increasing girth as he roamed greater River City with a camera around his neck and notebook in hand-or adorned in black frock and top hat of a 19th Century snake oil salesman, exhorting the gullible at Point Basse.
He liked to make an impression. Then-Tribune reporter Lisa Zwickey warned Mark to stop addressing Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Shirley Abrahamson as "Darlin.'"
His verbosity frustrated decades of editors, including Everson of the Reporter, who said Mark stood behind her and defended every word. Former Tribune city editor Robyn Austin said Mark loved words so much he used as many as he could, yet made a story about a school board meeting read like poetic prose.
Mark didn't let me forget I had judged his poem about an owl, eagle and loon as displaying, "too many birds." He might like that, in his honor, I have burst the aviary and fluttered beyond my usual 700-bird limit.
Mark deserves a rambling epitaph that will confound Tribune editors and readers, like this tale of too many desks, too many pages, too many words and too many feathered bipeds, all too precious to cut.

Single room supplement - US$199
If you would like to guarantee yourself a single room throughout the tour, then we will add this single room supplement fee to your booking.
If you are a single traveller and are happy to share a room, then we will aim to join you with other travellers of the same sex in a twin room. We will arrange room shares in the order that vouchers are redeemed. If we are not able to pair you up then you will need to pay the single room supplement. Triple rooms are not available.
Extra days - Price: US$40 / $70 p/p/night (shared / single)
These are available on request in Marrakech before and after the main tour. We will aim to use the same hotel as the rest of the tour, but this will be subject to availability in the hotel. If you wish, you may book a hotel at a higher or lower level than that used on the tour. In this case, we can offer a transfer to/from the group hotel for a small charge (paid locally). Prices include a night in the hotel, breakfast, all taxes. Single room supplements apply. Arrival and departure airport transfers are available for an extra US$15 p/p.
NOTE: A supplement to the total price may need to be added as group flights will not be available.
Sunset desert camel ride - US$45 p/p
This fun 2-hour camel ride takes you out into the desert around your camp to enjoy the sunrise and get some spectacular photos amongst the dunes.
Marrakech Hot air balloon flight - US$240 p/p
The hot air balloon tour lasts about half a day, with the flight itself lasting about 1 hour. You start very early in the morning (around 05.30-06.30) with a pick up from your hotel and a drive in a comfortable 4WD vehicle to the take-off site just outside the city. Once the balloon is prepared and ready, you take off and float across the beautiful Moroccan scenery. Depending on the weather and the day's selected take off and landing sites, you'll see different Berber villages, the outskirts of the city, small oases, and terraced irrigated fields as well as the distant High Atlas mountains. A chase vehicle follows you on the ground, in constant contact by radio with the balloon. After landing you rejoin the vehicle and drive back to Marrakesh, stopping for tea and a snack at some of the Berber villages you've passed over. You get back to your hotel in Marrakesh around midday.
Marrakech Quad-biking - Driver $100, Passenger $65
This is an exciting half day tour in the desert and countryside outside of Marrakech. You drive for around 50km, with a tea break included, and take in some sand dunes and villages en-route. Prices are available for one or two people sharing a quad-bike. This tour fits in very well after the hot air balloon option.
Accommodation upgrades
We use standard en-suite rooms in all the 4-star hotels visited during the tour. If you wish, you may upgrade your room to a junior suite (subject to availability at the time of booking).
- Golden Tulip Farah Marrakech: $200 per person per visit (covers 2 nights in a shared room)
- Kasba Asma Zagora : $55 per person per visit (covers 1 night in a shared junior suite)

Berber Villages (Imlil) day trip - US$140
The busy trekking center of Imlil is tucked under Toubkal, the highest mountain in North Africa. You can visit the Asni Saturday Berber market, walk up to the Toubkal kasbah and explore surrounding trails under mountain shadows. Imlil is a nice roadless destination to cool off from heat in Marrakech, immerse yourself into a Berber village for a day, and is especially pleasant in October when the whole valley smells of ripe apples. Clear blue skies and sunshine make for great trekking weather. Return to Marrakech 1.5 hours one way. There are numerous small cafes and restaurants to have lunch or buy walnuts and apples for your day trek. Not recommended in winter due to snow and cold December to February.

We use good quality hotels rated at the Moroccan 4-star level on this tour. Local star ratings vary slightly from international standards and can generally be considered one star rating lower than that given. We ensure we use some of the very best hotels available at the level stated. Accommodation is based on double or twin bedded en-suite rooms with air conditioning. All couples will have a private double room. Single travellers may choose to pay a single room supplement to guarantee themselves a single room throughout the tour. Alternatively, they may choose to share a twin room with another traveller of the same sex. If there are no other single travellers available to pair up with at the time of your booking, then we will need to add the single supplement to the tour price, but will refund this or deduct it from your balance payment if we are able to pair you up later on.
At the Berber desert camp tents with mattresses and traditional local blankets are provided. You do not need to bring a sleeping bag, but may wish to bring a sleep-sheet or sleeping bag liner for extra comfort. Shared toilet and shower facilities are available.
Our trips feature a mix of different transport options. We want you to feel like you're really experiencing the country you're travelling through, but at the same time we want you to finish journeys refreshed enough to enjoy the next stage of the tour. The terrain and relatively small distances involved in Morocco mean that we use private vehicles throughout this tour, including a 4x4 for your desert safari.
The tour includes a 24-hour airport meet & assist service in Marrakech airport, your arrival and departure airport-hotel transfers and all other transfers.
We are committed to being a small group operator as we feel this gives everyone in the group the best chance to get to know their fellow travellers and to hear and make the most of their guide. There's no point in us providing great guides if you've got to peer over 30-40 shoulders to see them! So, we won't ever put you in a 50-seater coach with 49 other people and just one guide. Instead, we set these tour departures to have a maximum of 20 travellers per guide.
In Morocco we provide fully trained, local English-speaking guides for all of the sightseeing tours. Our local reps in all the towns and cities en-route are also at your service, and will be handling all the practical arrangements for the tour.
At Encounters Travel we only use local Moroccan guides and reps. We feel this gives you the best experience of the country and the sites you are seeing.
The tour price includes entrance fees to all the tourist sites mentioned in the itinerary. You will need to cover the cost of entrance to any other extra sites that you may wish to visit.
Tipping is common practice in Morocco as a sign of appreciation for services provided. You may therefore wish to tip your guide and driver at the end of the tour. You should not feel obliged to tip any particular amount, and should consider your personal budget. We are often asked to provide a guide however, and will provide you with more information and suggested amounts in our pre-departure pack.
For up to date health information & vaccination requirements for Morocco we recommend that you contact your medical practitioner or a travel clinic.
General vaccination recommendations for Morocco include Diphtheria, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Polio, Tetanus & Typhoid.
Many nationalities (including USA, Canada, UK, European, Australian, New Zealand) do not need to obtain a visa to enter Morocco as long as your stay is for less than 3 months. Other nationalities should check with their local consulate. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate visa to enter Morocco if one is required.

Nearly a week since their fifth studio album hit your heads and hearts, we got to ask Montreal-based The Dears Five Questions, and enjoy a history lesson in playlist form.
Five Questions with The Dears
- Who do you think is an important musician that most people have never heard of before?
Rob Benvie from The Dears: Though many know his name, few people today recognize the amazingness ofJoe Meek, who was basically the most significant innovator in pioneering experimental/home recording and production. Seek out I Hear a New World, from 1959.
- If you had access to any record in the world, what would you listen to right now?
RB: My dream album would be Lee "Scratch" Perry producing NWA in 1989.
- Which album or artist do you most associate with your childhood?
RB: The Sex Pistols' Never Mind the Bollocks. If I ever have a child, that will be their gift on their twelfth birthday.
- We hope people are ______________ when they listen to our music.
RB: Looting Pottery Barn
- We were thinking about ______________ when we wrote music for the new album.
RB: Devouring the universe
Compliments of their label, Dangerbird Records, listen to a quick History of The Dears as a playlist.
For more on the bands they represent, like The Dears, follow Dangerbird Records on Rdio.
Thanks to The Dears for playing. If you haven't already, be sure to listen to their new album, Degeneration Street and stay tuned for more Five Questions with the Band.

It's been years since anything I've read has had as great an impact on me as this month's contribution from Jim Collins. I'm referring to its effect not only on my thinking about what I do as a manager but also on me personally and on the way I lead my professional life.
The article, drawn from a series of interviews with Collins, picks up where he left off in Built to Last, the 1994 best-seller about visionary companies that he wrote with Jerry I. Porras. In the future, Collins suggests, great businesses will not be built on the traditional tripod of cutting-edge products, brilliant strategy, and charismatic leadership. Rather, a company's durability will come first from the values that guide the creation of its products and services, second from the development of mechanisms designed to encourage behavior that reflects those values, and third from leaders who function as architects of the entire process.
Of course, the success of any interview depends partly on the people asking the questions. In this case, they were executive editors Michael Hopkins and Jeffrey L. Seglin. Afterward, Hopkins took the transcript and turned it into a cover story, applying the same deft touch he used in crafting the interview with designer and writer Richard Saul Wurman that we ran in May ("Get Dumb and Grow Rich").
Risky Business
I first met Drix Niemann when I was a young editor in Boston and he tried to recruit me for a magazine he'd started in New Jersey. Nothing came of the offer, but we hit it off and stayed in touch. About eight years ago he dropped me a note saying he'd decided to buy a business and wondered if I'd be interested in having him chronicle the experience for Inc. I accepted without a moment's hesitation.
In this issue Niemann gives us the third and final episode of the saga. It's a moving story in its own right, but I'd strongly urge you to go back and read the first two installments as well. You can download them from Inc. Online. Only after reading this month's article can you appreciate the irony of his statement in the first one that he was buying a business, rather than starting one, because he "didn't want to risk everything."
Extra Credit
Speaking of Inc. Online, we were thrilled to learn in August that it had been selected as the winner in the on-line category of Folio magazine's annual Editorial Excellence Awards competition. This followed by six weeks the news that Inc. Online had been honored with the Computer Press Association's award as best overall new publication, beating out strong entries from both print and on-line media. Proud as we are to receive such recognition from our peers, we are even more delighted that we are now reaching almost 500,000 people each month through Inc. Online.
Another Milestone
Physician Sales & Service (PSS) founder Patrick Kelly is a guy who thrives on big goals, like creating the first national physicians' supplies company or building a billion-dollar business from scratch. I don't know if becoming an Inc. columnist measures up, but we sure are happy to have him. His first column is on page 35.
- Jim Collins returns with fresh insights into the qualities that help companies endure.
- Drix Niemann recounts the sad ending of the story he began seven years ago.
- Michael Hopkins asks the right questions and helps shape the answers.
- PSS founder Patrick Kelly reaches another milestone as he joins our merry band of columnists.

Not much of a report tonight, but when it comes to writing in a post-apocalyptic world, it feels like each sentence I put down commits to a rule in this world that I've just invented, and from that point on it will be necessary to adhere to that world as belonging to this invented world. It is the bedrock of world-building, which is both thrilling and intimidating at the same time: it's great fun to create and invent, but it's also hard as it needs to be both accurate and realistic. The key is to have believable, alive characters who can exist in the world, and then they can just act and react in it and the rules will create themselves.
It's getting off to kind of a slow start at first, but I'm sure things will speed up and become more comfortable once the characters are all well settled (knowing what they're doing and why they're there).
Looking forward to what the future holds for them . . .
A person from the old world would've noticed the lack of ambient lighting, for the simple reason that there was no lighting, except for the sunlight streaming through the windows. There was still electricity on the Rock, it was just severely restricted and limited to necessities. The cooking and preparing of food was one of those; the lowering of the temperature of drinking water for the customer however was not.

|Ischemic time as a predictor of physical recovery in the first months after heart transplantation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22778997 Owner: NLM Status: PubMed-not-MEDLINE
|Functional results after heart transplantation range from modest to spectacular improvement. Little is known about factors to predict functional result. This study aimed to identify these factors. We present a prospective study including all consecutive transplant recipients (n = 55) in a two-year period whose survival was greater than two months. Perioperative, donor, and recipient issues were systematically analyzed. Exercise capacity was assessed by symptom-limited treadmill exercise testing two months after transplantation. Exercise capacity was classified as satisfactory or poor depending on achieving or not 4.5 METs (metabolic equivalents), respectively. Thirty-three patients (60%) showed a good exercise capacity (>4.5 METs), whereas the remaining twenty-two patients (40%) were unable to exceed this threshold. The variables which correlated with exercise capacity in univariate analysis were recipient age, inotropic treatment, ischemic time, ventricular assist device, etiology, urgent transplant, and INTERMACS score. Among them only recipient age and ischemic time were proved to be correlated with exercise capacity in the multiple regression analysis. Thus, younger patients and those who had received an organ with shorter ischemic time showed greater exercise capacity after transplant. These findings strengthen the trend toward reducing ischemic time as much as possible to improve both survival and clinical recovery.

Aim We conducted a range-wide phylogeographic study of a common Australian freshwater fish, the golden perch (Macquaria ambigua), to investigate the relationship between environmental processes and evolutionary history in drainage basins.
Location Inland [Lake Eyre (LEB), Murray–Darling (MDB) and Bulloo (BULL)] and coastal basins [Fitzroy (FITZ)] of eastern Australia.
Methods A total of 590 samples were collected from across the entire species' distribution and a section of the mitochondrial DNA control region was sequenced. In order to reconstruct the evolutionary history of M. ambigua a comprehensive suite of phylogeographic analyses was conducted, including nested clade phylogeographic analysis, mismatch analysis and isolation-with-migration model simulations.
Results Three major lineages corresponding to the major drainage basins, FITZ, MDB and LEB/BULL, were identified (ΦST = 0.92). Lineages from the coastal basin (FITZ) were highly divergent from those of the inland basins (up to 6%). Levels of genetic diversity in the inland basins were relatively low and our analyses indicate that these populations experienced both demographic and range expansions during the Pleistocene.
Main conclusions Investigation of the range-wide phylogeography of M. ambigua has revealed new insights into the biogeography of the Australian arid zone, particularly with regard to evolutionary events chronologically associated with cyclical moist and dry conditions. We propose that M. ambigua originated on the east coast (FITZ) and crossed a major geographic barrier, the Great Dividing Range (GDR), to colonize the inland basins (MDB, LEB and BULL). We infer a series of demographic and range expansion events for M. ambigua consistent with a scenario of moister Pleistocene conditions and increased connectivity of freshwater environments, both within and among drainage basins. Major lineages then diversified following isolation of freshwater environments under increasingly arid climate conditions. We suggest that management priorities for M. ambigua should include the resolution of taxonomic uncertainties and the maintenance of genetic diversity of both stocked populations in the MDB and native populations of the LEB that may be at risk of further isolation and reduced gene flow due to increased aridification under future climate change scenarios.

According to the U.S. Department of Education, only a third of Kansas students are proficient in reading and roughly one out of four are functionally illiterate. You might expect that education officials would welcome an opportunity to examine what other states are doing to address these unacceptably low achievement levels, but sadly they refuse to even have a discussion.
Some are even deliberately mischaracterizing efforts to do so. A recent editorial by Kansas National Education Association president Blake West falsely described the premise of Kansas Policy Institute's proposing public forums as: "Since we can't afford great schools in tight budget times, what would you be most willing to cut from public education?"
Mr. West and the KNEA know that's not true. Earlier this year KPI asked KNEA, the Department of Education, State Board of Education and the Kansas Association of School Boards if they "... would be willing to participate in some type of open, public discussion of all the issues." The invitation was prompted by their public ridicule of public forums KPI held to share Florida's remarkable progress on raising achievement levels, which many attribute to a broad array of reforms.
This group met but KPI couldn't agree to their insistence on excluding education experts from outside the state, so we moved forward with our own event and invited them all to participate. The Why Not Kansas Education Summit is on September 15 in Overland Park. National experts on charter schools, vouchers and tax credit scholarships for the underprivileged and special needs students, expanding online learning and retaining and rewarding effective teachers will talk about how many states are using these learning opportunities to raise achievement levels. Kansas education officials are invited to participate in a panel discussion about these opportunities; most have declined, but the discussion will still be held with legislators.
The KNEA solution is essentially 'just spend more.' Mr. West writes, "The most important question is: "What educational opportunities for our children do we believe are so important that we WANT to pay taxes to fund our schools?"
And there you have it. KPI wants to talk about expanding learning opportunities. KNEA wants to raise taxes.
We've already tried the 'just spend more' solution but it's been a miserable failure. Proficiency levels are relatively unchanged since 1998 while total funding for Kansas public schools increased by $2.5 billion. Thank goodness spending isn't the answer, because if $2.5 billion barely moves the needle, we'd never have enough money to provide students with the effective education they deserve.
This isn't about hating kids, attempting to destroy public education or the other false accusations thrown at those who dare to question the status quo. We have to acknowledge the disappointing truth about student achievement levels and find new approaches. Some students certainly get a good education, but pretending most students have high achievement levels only hurts them in the long run.
States all around the country are stepping up to the challenge and adopting a combination of student-focused reforms. We hope education officials reconsider our invitation and join us to discuss how new approaches can help more students reach their full potential.

The papyrus describes the escape of runaway slaves during the reign of Seti II (New Kingdom). It is interesting to note that their escape route mirrors that of the fleeing Israelites during the Exodus from Egypt (which is sometimes ascribed to the reign of Ramesses II).
The Chief of Bowmen of Tjeku, KaKemwer, to the Chief of Bowmen Ani and the Chief of Bowmen BakenPtah: In life, prosperity, health! In the favor of Amon-Re, King of the Gods, and of the ka of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt: UserkheperuRe SetepenRe (Seti II), life, prosperity and health, our good lord, life, prosperity and health! I say to the ReHarakhti: "Keep Pharaoh, life, prosperity, health! our good lord, life, prosperity and health, in health! Let him celebrate millions of jubilees, while we are in his favor daily!" Another matter, to wit: I was sent forth from the broad-halls of the palace, life, prosperity and health, in the 3rd month of the third season, day 9, at the time of evening, following after these two slaves. Now when I reached the enclosure wall of Tjeku on the 3rd month of the third season, day 10, they told [me] they were saying to the south that they had passed by on the 3rd month of the third season, day 10. [Now] when [I] reached the fortress, they told me that the scout had come from the desert [saying that] they had passed the walled place north of the Migdol of Seti MernePtah, life, prosperity and health. Beloved like Seth." When my letter reaches you, write to me about all that has happened to [them]. Who found their tracks? Which watch found their tracks? What people are after them? Write to me about all that has happened to them and how many people you send out after them. [May your health] be good!

The Reuters Digital News survey is a treasure trove of useful research on news consumption. We suggest you read the whole thing, but if you haven't got the time, check out report author Nic Newman's article for us today and here's our roundup of 14 key takeaways on how news consumption is changing:
1. Are you reaching the 10 million 'News Lovers'?
There are an estimated 10 million people in the UK whom the report describes as "news lovers". This group consume news heavily online, tend to be wealthier, are more likely to own a tablet or smartphone and use Twitter twice as much as the average. They are also more interested in politics and international news, more likely to read a "quality" newspaper and are twice as likely to have paid for digital news in the last week, in contrast to "daily briefers":
2. Tablet consumption has doubled in less than 12 months
Tablet consumption of news has doubled in the UK and Germany between the end of 2011 and 2012, and has risen almost as fast in the US, Denmark, France and Denmark. The UK has caught up with the US, with 16 percent of those surveyed saying they consume news on a tablet, but both markets are still way behind Denmark, where 25 percent say they do so.
3. Multi-device consumers consume more media
A third of those surveyed across all markets consume news on more than one device. Both the institute and other researchers have found that multi-device news consumers consume more news in aggregate.
4. Country variation in strength of traditional brands
Traditional broadcast brands and newspaper brands are strongest in the UK and Denmark - with 35 percent of those surveyed in the UK saying they had used a newspaper brand for news in the last week and 54 percent of those in Denmark. In contrast, newer brands such as Yahoo! are stronger in the US, Brazil and Japan, and social media is strong in Brazil and the US.
5. Old people like TV, young people like the internet
Young people prefer to use online as their main source of news, older people prefer TV.
6. People don't notice what website they're looking at
In the UK, 16 percent of people don't notice which websites they are getting their news from, but that's actually better than many of the other countries surveyed. In Japan for instance 44 percent say they don't notice. Paradoxically, however, many people say they prefer to get their news from trusted sources - 77 percent in the UK and a whopping 90 percent in Brazil.
7. People in the UK read news a lot, but many aren't passionate about it
In the UK, 86 percent say they read news every day, but a third say they aren't very interested in news. That's a lot of regular readers, but a lot who aren't very engaged. How can you squeeze more money out of apathetic readers?
In contrast, while in the US only 76 percent say they consume news everyday - the lowest in any of the countries surveyed - only 29 percent say they aren't very interested.
8. Only 1/4 of UK consumers rely on traditional news sources and nothing else
In the UK, 25 percent say traditional media, including TV and print, is their only source of news, and 20 percent say these channels are their main source. That may sound like a lot, but most media companies are reliant on traditional channels for a lot more than 45 percent of their revenue.
Japan, Brazil and the US had the highest proportions of people saying they got their news mainly or only online.
9. Age dictates which platforms are more popular
10. Regional news more important to older readers
-- In the UK, 25 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds consider news about their region one of the most important to them, but this rises steadily across age groups to reach 43 percent in those over 55.
-- At the same time, just 30 percent of those consuming news only via online channels considered regional news one of their most important areas, while 43 percent of those only using traditional media thought so.
11. UK consumers prefer brands as gateways to news
Branded content from news providers was the most important gateway to news for 35 percent of those surveyed in the UK, compared to 17 percent for both social media and aggregators. Just 24 percent say search is the most important - far lower than in any of the other countries surveyed.
In Germany on the other hand, 50 percent say social media is the most important gateway, and in Japan 44 percent say aggregators are the most important.
12. UK consumers much more interested in politics and international news than entertainment
13. Big variation in sharing and commenting on news on social media
Just 10 percent of those from the UK surveyed said they had shared or participated in news stories on social media in the last week, but that was higher than in Germany and Japan, and the same as in France. In contrast, 21 percent in the US said they did so, rising to 38 percent in Brazil.
14. Consumption peaks are more marked among older people
Though all news consumption shows peaks in the morning and the evening - the effect is less pronounced among younger audiences - suggesting more sustained consumption throughout the day.

West Seattle restaurants: Cassis menu preview, chef choice, construction planDecember 11, 2013 at 10:09 am | In West Seattle news, West Seattle restaurants | 12 Comments
The buildout starts next week at 2820 Alki SW, future home of French restaurant Cassis, according to proprietor Jef Fike, who just shared this update, including a menu preview and news of his choice for chef:
Construction of Cassis begins this Monday the 16th. We are projecting opening within the first two weeks of February.
Although I'm sure there will be some changes between now and then, I am attaching the opening menu to give you an idea of what we'll be doing. Our hours to begin will be Wednesday-Monday, closed Tuesdays. In April or May we will open for Saturday and Sunday brunch and in June open 7 days and nights through the Summer months. We will also be doing a happy-hour menu daily from 4-6.
My Chef is Andy Dekle, a neighbor in West Seattle, formerly Head Chef at The Ruins, Local Vine, and currently at Portage Bay through the end of the year.
I encourage folks to like our Cassis page on Facebook. I'll be doing updates on our progress as we chug along towards the opening.
Cassis's previous incarnation was on Capitol Hill a decade ago; the Alki plan has been in the works for almost a year, but the location – formerly home to Alki Arts (which still has its Harbor Steps gallery downtown) – wasn't finalized until this fall.
12 Comments
Can't wait! The menu sounds perfect; hope they'll have a nice wine list too.
Comment by Jeanine — 11:44 am December 11, 2013 #
Looks great. Im cautiously optimistic. Since moving to West Seattle this past Spring, my husband and I have been totally underwhelmed by the local dining scene. If we are spending upwards of $130 on dinner plus a babysitter, I want someone to keep my glass filled and not ask me to hold my fork between courses. The food has been ok but the service at most of the finer establishments is lacking. We are close to giving up and just sticking to Ballard and Capitol Hill for date nights, but maybe Cassis will raise the bar.
Comment by Hopeful in WS — 12:09 pm December 11, 2013 #
O happy day! Loved Cassis on Cap Hill, am beyond excited it's coming to West Seattle!

Great looking menu! Please please please bring in the appropriate beers to pair with all of these great flavors.
Comment by Paul — 1:49 pm December 11, 2013 #
As a vegetarian who understands that food is a very personal choice, I enjoy dining in West Seattle with my carnivorous, omnivorous, and fellow herbivore friends. I find that most Seattle establishments understand and welcome the diversity of diners by providing at least one or two vegetarian friendly entree items (i.e. beyond salads and side veggies). I hope that Cassis will be welcoming in this way as well and make some meatless choices available.
Comment by Kat in HighPoint — 3:26 pm December 11, 2013 #
Kat, as a fellow vegetarian, I was thinking the same thing. Then again, French food isn't exactly a vegetarian's delight. Nor is the foie gras on the menu! Regardless, I wish Cassis success.
Comment by Sonoma — 9:54 pm December 11, 2013 #
If I can get a great cassoulet without having to go downtown, I'm there. I'll be interested to see how this place works out in that location, as well.
Comment by Petert — 8:25 am December 12, 2013 #
Best of luck. That's a tough place for new restaurants.
Comment by sgg — 8:39 am December 12, 2013 #
Yeah, simply the presence of foie gras, AKA duck torture, will keep me away.
Comment by Christy — 9:57 am December 12, 2013 #

I loved Cassis when it was up on the hill, so wishing them the best of luck!

Discovery of a New Species of Rabies Virus
The effectiveness of the Lincoln Park Zoo–led effort to eliminate rabies in Serengeti National Park is often measured in rabies sightings in the park's wild animals. In recent years we've reported one case of rabies in a single wild animal—a civet cat—in Serengeti National Park since the vaccination campaign began in 2003. Now, however, we can revise this number downward.
Phylogenetic analysis of a sample from the civet cat revealed the rabies virus to be a new species, one most similar to a bat Lyssavirus (specifically, West Caucasian bat virus) isolated in eastern Europe. The variant found in the civet cat has been named Ikoma Lyssavirus.
Two conclusions can be drawn from this finding. First, the source of the infecting virus was most likely a bat and not a dog. Second, the virus itself was a different type from the one that causes canine rabies. Because the civet cat died of bat-rabies, that means the incidence of dog-rabies in the national park has actually been zero since we began vaccinating.
Given the frequency with which outbreaks of dog rabies were occurring prior to 2003, this is an impressive statistic. It reinforces the importance of the Serengeti Health Initiative's annual vaccination campaign for protecting the health of the region's people, pets and predators alike.

- anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105
A human/murine chimeric monoclonal antibody directed against endoglin (CD105) with potential antiangiogenic and antineoplastic activities. Anti-endoglin monoclonal antibody TRC105 binds to endoglin, which may result in inhibition of tumor angiogenesis and decreased tumor cell proliferation. The glycoprotein endoglin is a transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF beta-1) accessory receptor that is highly expressed on tumor vessel endothelial cells and appears to be essential for angiogenesis.
Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
Code name: TRC105
