Why are there small white spots in toddler's stool?
My 19 month old has tiny white spots, almost like styrofoam in his stool. They seem hard and when they are smushed there is weird yellow fiber-looking thing inside. I took him to the pediatrician. She is stumped. His stool test came back negative for parasites but the sample didn't have too many spots in it. I've searched my home for anything he may have ingested. No obvious culprit. Anyone ever seen anything like this?. Thank you.

Hi I have a 13 month old boy and he has white-ish patches in his stool lately. He did have some kind of infection that resulted in a mildly inflamed liver that made him poop white-ish twice 15 days ago. Since then we have been feeding him toned down formula instead of breastmilk because he was throwing up the breastmilk and not the formula. We have been through a lot of tests for our baby and the doctors and specialists cannot pin down the issue. There is another test next week to see if his mildly disturbed liver has come down. I hope someone else replies to this too.posted 06/27/2015 by rashmimae

Okay, so I've heard that deli meat is a no-no unless you steam it. First of all, who the hell steams their flippin' sandwich meat?
I understand the issue is nitrates and nitrites (don't those sound delicious) and that salami (yum) and bologna (ew) are the biggest issues...but can a girl have a slice of ham off the bone? What about sliced turkey or sliced chicken? Or now I have to find out if these things have nitrates or nitrates before I eat them?
I can't assume the deli dude has the answer to this question. The kid is either in high school or college and his biggest concern is how big his next bong hit will be. Sorry, but the dude is confused and slow. Shop with me. You'll see.
Back to being pregnant and not eating salami...
This is exhausting at times, what you can/can't eat. No more feta cheese either. Err.
Anyway...clearly, I'm venting...and perhaps I'm a bit moody? ; )
Any help on the deli meat sitch will be appreciated. And if you can't tell, yes, I'm a first timer.

Starting this fall, Keuka College will offer a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree program, in two formats, at the Keuka Park home campus and in the Syracuse region. The MSW program is a 65-credit, clinically focused program designed to prepare graduates with the knowledge and skills necessary to provide effective psychotherapy and psychosocial services to clients at an individual, family, and group level.
The MSW also prepares graduates to act in an administrative and supervisory capacity, and to serve as leaders in dynamic communities and organizations. Students with an MSW degree are eligible to take a state licensing exam after graduation, and can then begin serving diverse client populations in settings including schools, community-based agencies, health care systems, legal systems and more.
Recently approved by the New York State Board of Education Office of the Professions, the Keuka College MSW program will be offered in two formats. Roll-out of the program will begin this fall, with two cohorts of advanced standing MSW students. One cohort of full-time students will study weekdays at the Keuka Park campus near Penn Yan, and will complete the program in May 2016, while a second cohort of part-time students studying in the Syracuse region, will complete the degree in 21 months of primarily evening classes once a week. Both advanced standing formats include clinical practicum work, similar to an internship. A first-year foundation program for applicants with a non-social work bachelor's degree will begin at the Keuka Park campus in the fall of 2016.
Stephanie Craig, chair of the Keuka College Division of Social Work and associate professor of social work, is thrilled to see the MSW program launch after nearly 10 years of dreaming and planning.
"It's so exciting to see the vision come to fruition," Craig said, adding thanks to the many faculty members and administrators who've invested time and labor over the past several years to support the College's efforts to add the new degree. "I see growth ahead and an outstanding MSW program at Keuka College."
After the initial launch year, the College will begin offering the advanced standing MSW program at select off-site locations in full-time or part-time formats. Students have the opportunity to personalize the focus of their studies through the selection of different electives. According to Dr. Doyle Pruitt, a licensed, certified social worker, MSW program director and assistant professor of social work for Keuka College, the College has offered bachelor's degrees in social work to adult students at multiple community college locations across upstate New York through its Accelerated Studies for Adult Program (ASAP) format, and some of those will be considered for expansion of the MSW in future years.
Elective courses and initial field work placements have been structured so that students will be prepared for work within systems such as the Veteran's Administration, health care settings, prison systems and community agencies, particularly those that may be located in the areas where the MSW program will be offered, Pruitt described. For example, Yates and Schuyler counties have some of the lowest numbers of MSW practitioners in the state, she said, noting that social work is a profession always in demand.
"Our program allows students who are committed to their local communities to receive their education without having to be uprooted and risk not returning," Pruitt said.
And that will benefit communities across the greater Finger Lakes region, as well-prepared Keuka College MSW graduates provide services appropriate to the unique demands of rural areas and under-represented populations, said Dr. Paul Forestell, provost and vice president for academic affairs.
"For 125 years Keuka College has remained true to the vision of our founder, George Harvey Ball, to graduate 'superior men and women who shall bring strength to the nation and help to humanity,'" he cited. "Our new Master of Social Work program continues that tradition."
According to Pruitt, an MSW degree can be more marketable than degrees for marriage and family therapists or licensed mental health counselors, due to the structure of insurance billing in New York State.
"We're preparing graduates to be eligible to provide clinical services, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and so on. The clinical degree allows them to provide therapy, but they could also choose to take their career in an administrative or service direction, so it's really setting them up to be competitive in the marketplace," Pruitt said.
Applications for the new MSW programs have a deadline of June 15, 2015. For more information on the program, please visit online at: http://socialwork.keuka.edu, or for more info on how to apply, please contact Admissions Counselor Patricia White at [email protected] or (315) 317-8455.
At the heart of social work is service to others, and in that dimension, Keuka College senior Nakita Simons sets the standard.
Praised as a natural-born leader, the Prattsburgh resident and social work major coordinates so many special projects for non-profit agencies and organizations between home and school that it can be hard to keep them all straight. For her multitude of service, Simons was recently named one of six student Social Workers of the Year at a regional chapter event for the National Association of Social Workers (NASW). The NASW award recognizes social work students in the New York State Chapter's Genesee Valley Division who have made significant contributions in the field.
According to Stephanie Craig, associate professor of social work and chair of the College Division of Social Work, Simons "is versatile, dedicated and one of the most diligent new social workers to enter this field. She's got a lot of social work insight that has just really blossomed and developed through her experience here."
Just how much does Simons serve? Well, she delivers holiday food baskets for the needy and serves at a bake sale fundraiser for the Howard Union Church. She coordinates Christmas gift deliveries through the Angel Tree project and runs twice-monthly volunteer support at Milly's Pantry in Penn Yan for the College's Association of Future Social Workers (ASFW) chapter. The ASFW members also host an annual Hunger Banquet to raise awareness of poverty, and assist the Branchport-Keuka Park Fire Department with their annual Halloween party for local children.
As president of Phi Alpha Theta, the College honors society for social work students, Simons coordinates all fundraising and community service work for the group. The newest venture, slated for April, will be conducting service work on behalf of veterans at the Bath VA Medical Center, she said. Back on campus, Phi Theta Alpha has also given a presentation on veterans' issues, including mental illness, homeless rates, and other needs. In addition, Simons has served three years as a New Student Orientation (NSO) mentor, logging extra hours on her own to take new freshmen under her wing and show them skills for success.
In addition, Simons, who also served as a biology tutor, maintains a 3.9 grade point average, said Craig who attended the NASW awards banquet with Simons last week.
And the NASW award is not the only one. Simons boasts another prestigious accomplishment: earning a BSW Child Welfare Scholarship from New York's Social Work Education Consortium. The scholarship carries a two-year employment contract as a child welfare caseworker with a county Department of Social Services agency and the possibility of earning additional scholarship money for a master's degree in social work, provided all goes well in an initial semester-long practicum. But once again, Simons stands apart. (more…)
The accreditation of Keuka College's social work program has again been reaffirmed by the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
Keuka offers a bachelor's degree in social work in its traditional program on the Keuka Park campus and at sites across New York state through the Accelerated Studies for Adults Program (ASAP).
One reason why CSWE accreditation is critical is that social workers seeking licensure from the National Association of Social Workers must hold a master's degree from an accredited social work program, according to Stephanie Craig, professor and chair of the Division of Social Work.
"Being accredited by CSWE also allows us to provide a program that is accepted across the United States and permits students to apply for admission to master's degree programs at an accredited school," said Craig.
CSWE is a national association that "preserves and enhances the quality of social work education for practice that promotes the goals of individual and community well-being and social justice." CSWE pursues this mission through setting and maintaining policy and program standards, accrediting bachelor's and master's degree programs in social work, promoting research and faculty development, and advocating for social work education.
The CSWE conducted a site visit and review of Keuka's program earlier this year, but the College spent "two to three years" preparing for it, according to Craig.
"It was much more arduous this time because we added a social work degree through ASAP in 2007," said Craig. "In addition to conducting a self-study, we rewrote the syllabus, developed assessments, and analyzed how the program fits within the College."
Social work has been part of the Keuka College curriculum since 1950 and became fully accredited by the CSWE in 1982.
"Our traditional social work program has earned the respect of human service providers across New York state, from Watertown to Binghamton and in between through the service of our students and faculty, as well as the employment of our graduates," said Craig.
Craig said that "with the addition of the innovative ASAP delivery model—resulting in an increase of 50 to some 300 students—Keuka has provided access to secondary education that would otherwise be unobtainable."
Fourteen faculty and staff members were recognized for their service and dedication to Keuka College at Community Day Aug. 20.
Five-year service awards were presented to: Brie Deacon, admissions communications manager, marketing, and web; Judy Jones, library acquisitions clerk; Michael Keck, professor of chemistry and chair of the Division of Natural Sciences, Mathematics, and Physical Education; Marlaine "Sparki" Mangles, associate professor of wellness; and Lisa Marciniak, assistant director of international enrollment in the Center for Global Education.
Ten-year service awards were presented to: Jim Blackburn, vice president for student development; Carol Grover, controller; and Stephanie Craig, chair, Division of Social Work, and associate professor of social work.
A 20-year service award was presented to Jennifer Bates, director of financial aid.
A 45-year service award was presented to Sander Diamond, professor of history.
Merit awards were presented to Dale Mosher, sergeant, Office of Campus Safety; Tom Jackson, marketing and administrative manager for traditional admissions; Dawn Chambry, assistant director of development; Michele "Mikki" Sheldon, administrative assistant for the Division of Academic Affairs; and Doreen Hovey, executive assistant to vice president for academic affairs.
Presidential Awards for Sustained Outstanding Achievement were presented to Joan Magnusen, professor of biology, and Janice Folts, business office coordinator.
Bridgett Rosato is a busy mother of three, a mediator for the 10-county Center for Dispute Settlement, and a volunteer with the Ontario County Jail.
She's also an award-winning social work student in the Accelerated Studies for Adults Program (ASAP) at Keuka College.
The Canandaigua resident was named one of six student Social Workers of the Year at a regional chapter event for the National Association of Social Workers. The NASW award recognizes social work students in the New York State Chapter's Genesee Valley Division who have made significant contributions in the field.
Stephanie Craig, associate professor and chair of the Division of Social Work, said Rosato "is an amazing student and person. She represents the profession very well."
A desire to help people is what drives Rosato to work toward prevention of some of the personal experiences she went through as a child. (more…)

The Postal Service Governors decided today to delay the implementation of new market-dominant and competitive rates and classification changes until all of our proposed market-dominant changes are approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission ("PRC"). This decision was primarily motivated by a desire to eliminate potential adverse impacts on postal customers that might result from a staggered implementation of our new prices.
BREAKING: The United States Postal Service will delay its plan to cut mail delivery to 5 days.
The United States Postal Service said today that they will delay its plan to cut delivery of the mail to 5 days saying restrictive language in Congress temporary government funding prohibits the new schedule.
The U.S. Postal Service said it will hold off on the plan until legislation is passed that provides the U.S. Postal Service with authority to implement a financially appropriate and responsible delivery schedule.
The plan to start 5 day delivery was set to start on August 5th 2013.
United States Post Office Inspection Service warns of fraudulent customer emails!
The United States Postal Inspection Service wants to alert you about fraudulent emails sent to postal customers.
The sent emails claim to be from "USPS Global," "Global Services" or "USPS customer services." These emails inform customers that a package is being held for them and they will be charged for each day the package is unclaimed. The fraudulent email also gives customers an invalid label reference number. If you get one of these emails, DO NOT click the URL link! When clicking on the URL accompanying this number, a virus infects their computers.
Postal employees have been receiving complaints about these emails and have been apologizing for any inconvenience and assure customers that the emails are not from the Postal Service. Customers also should be informed that the United States Postal Inspection Service already is aware of the fraudulent messages.
If you would like like to report further fraudulent issues you can do so by notifying the Inspection Service by sending an email to email@example.com.

WASHINGTON DC ~ Bipartisan plan announced by the United States Senate this week would throw a lifeline to the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) while keeping a six-day mail delivery for at least the next two years. ~ Associated Press reported.
Senate Homeland and Governmental Affairs Committee will look at the proposal next week. In this new proposal, along with many other things, encourages cuts in employee staff and refunding the nearly $7 billion in overpayments USPS paid into the Federal Employee Retirement System.
This inturn could be used to offer early retirement to a large number of postal workers.
As more customers choose to conduct their postal business online, with their smartphones and at their favorite shopping destinations, the need for USPS to maintain the largest retail network in the country diminishes.
To that end, the Postal Service today announced it is taking the next step in rightsizing its expansive retail network by conducting studies of approximately 3,700 retail offices to determine customer needs. As part of this effort, the Postal Service also has introduced a retail-replacement option for affected communities around the nation

My son seems to really only have an intolerance to dairy and soy with his EoE. However, he also has celiac disease. This means that fortified breads are out for a calcium source. Also, he has GERD, so I don't know if it's the reflux or the EoE, but he has difficulty with any milky substance, including Neocate, Elecare, rice milk, etc. Not allergic, mind you, just spits it up nearly immediately. (his allergic reactions usually include rash, plus no known allergies to any of the ingredients in this stuff)
I know there are food sources of calcium that he CAN eat- spinach, corn tortillas, black beans, etc. However, we're certainly not going to feed him Mexican food every day (lol- just realized I was making a Mexican food meal with that list), so I was wondering about the possibility of a calcium supplement. We are already using Polyvisol drops for the vitamin D and others (and blood tests have not shown deficiencies), but the calcium is still a concern.
Suggestions? Obviously, finding a supplement without dairy, soy, or gluten is key for us.
We are not getting any help from the MDs- they just keep on pushin the Elecare/Neocate, which we are not going to use. Let them come over to our house and get drenched in secondhand Elecare and then we'll talk .
I have thought about using the Neocate Splash, which wouldn't have the milky texture. Any experience with this?

The genuine FrameworkService.exe file is a software component of McAfee Common Framework by McAfee.
A background process associated with McAfee VirusScan, this application routinely communicates with McAfee software servers and checks for updated client software. This application consumes a large amount of resources when running. PCs running the McAfee agent and serviced by an ePO server do not require FrameworkService.exe, as they receive their software updates through the ePO server. Originally founded in 1987 by John McAfee, McAfee has been an Intel subsidy since 2011.
The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the FrameworkService.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
Click to Run a Free Scan for FrameworkService.exe related errors
The process known as Framework Service belongs to software McAfee Common Framework or McAfee Framework Service or McAfee Agent or Crystal (version 11 Redistributable) or Microsoft Office Standard or BP iRAS (version 4.0 Suite for Passport) or DesignPro (version 5.0 Limited Edition) by Network Associates (nai.com) or McAfee (www.mcafee.com).
Description: FrameworkService.exe is not essential for the Windows OS and causes relatively few problems. The file FrameworkService.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files" or sometimes in a subfolder of C:\ or in a subfolder of the user's profile folder or in a subfolder of the user's "Documents" folder (mainly C:\Program Files\NETWORK ASSOCIATES\COMMON FRAMEWORK\).
Known file sizes on Windows 10/8/7/XP are 102,463 bytes (56% of all occurrences), 98,304 bytes and 7 more variants.
The program has no visible window. FrameworkService.exe is not a Windows core file. The application uses ports to connect to or from a LAN or the Internet. FrameworkService.exe is able to hide itself. Therefore the technical security rating is 50% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify FrameworkService.exe related errors
If FrameworkService.exe is located in a subfolder of "C:\Program Files\Common Files", the security rating is 53% dangerous. The file size is 102,463 bytes (66% of all occurrences) or 104,000 bytes. The program has no visible window. The software listens for or sends data on open ports to a LAN or the Internet. The FrameworkService.exe file is not a Windows system file. FrameworkService.exe is able to hide itself.
Important: Some malware camouflages itself as FrameworkService.exe, particularly when located in the C:\Windows or C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the FrameworkService.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of FrameworkService.exe: based on 56 votes with 9 reviews. 36 users think FrameworkService.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 2 users think it's probably harmless. 13 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 3 users suspect danger. 2 users think FrameworkService.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 5 users don't grade FrameworkService.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with FrameworkService. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off repairing of your installation or, for Windows 8 and later versions, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the FrameworkService.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

because of that I prefer Zoe Lynn - it makes it feel like its more her own name, rather than bein names after someone else famous.
I think that if you feel strongly though aobut Hendrix you should go for it. It takes guts and it is bold and awesome.

IXEurope expands London datacentre footprint
IXEurope, Europe's fastest growing specialist datacentre services group, has acquired a new site to convert into a datacentre in London to accommodate strong growth from the corporate market.
This Article Covers
Risk management
IXEurope, Europe's fastest growing specialist datacentre services group, has acquired a new site to convert into a datacentre in London to accommodate strong growth from the corporate market.
A key target for the new site will be financial services organisations. First customers for over 20% of the space have already been signed and delivery of service will commence in January.
With approximately 30,000 square feet of net area, the datacentre is IXEurope's third facility in London and tenth across Europe following its acquisition in October 2005 of a 13-acre (5 hectare) datacentre and business continuity campus in Frankfurt, Germany.
A multi-million pound refit has commenced to ensure the datacentre will have a physical infrastructure that is consistent with IXEurope's industry-leading standards for security, environmental control and power. It will be built to a power density of 1,200 Watts/m2, and already has multiple fibre optic connectivity from BT, COLT and MCI.
Comments Guy Willner, CEO of IXEurope: "This acquisition is part of a Europe-wide expansion plan which we are executing over the coming months at IXEurope."
London is one of IXEurope's fastest growing markets and the expansion is a result of the company's phenomenal success in 2005. A significant driver of the expansion is the strong traction with London's corporate and financial services market, which has come to rely on IXEurope as these companies increasingly realise the benefits of outsourcing the datacentre aspect of their IT infrastructure.

How Red Can You Get?
Georgia's GOP Senate candidates are racing each other to the far right.
"If we don't win in November—or we win with another go-along-to-get-along, or an elitist establishment type—we haven't accomplished a thing," said Handel. "Who's gonna take it to Michelle Nunn, y'all? We know we need to cut the spending. We know we need to get the economy going by cutting taxes and cutting regulation."
After a short speech, Handel stuck around the diner to talk to explain why her story made her electable, and her rivals' "elitism" would lead to doom.
"Look at the headlines that they've already generated," she said. "Jack Kingston: Poor children should sweep the floor. Look at the narrative around David Perdue: His disdain for people who don't have a college degree and haven't been overseas, that they aren't smart enough. Gingrey, Broun …" She paused and laughed. "Do I need to go into that?"
She really didn't. Later that day, more than 100 miles down the road, Perdue's bus pulled into the parking lot of Jackson's, a seafood restaurant just across the water from a coal plant that—as several patrons pointed out—was being shut down by the EPA. He worked the room as his potential voters snacked on ceviche and mussels, then he paused for a short, relatable speech.
"How many of you know someone who's out of work?" he asked. His hand went up—so did most everyone else's. "I'll tell ya, it's a problem. One out of five Americans is unemployed or underemployed. You go to Atlanta, you don't see it, but you go around the state and you see it a lot."
After the speech, Perdue strolled over to the reporter in the room to rebut the latest charges against him. He didn't favor tax hikes; he'd been telling the newspaper in Macon that he favored "revenue," and politicians misunderstood him. He wasn't an elitist. "We could retire four career politicians in this race," he said. "The federal reserve has put several trillion dollars into the economy and the economy's really not growing," he said.
But the "high school degree" story has been hard to erase. Candidates like Perdue or Cain happily rip into "politicians" as know-nothings and meddlers. Whenever Perdue talked about those politicians, he couldn't help but point out that they weren't that smart. "You have people in political leadership who don't have a lot of experience in the free enterprise system," he said. Could Georgia's coasts withstand climate change? Sure, the right people could figure it out. Alas: "The EPA is really overreaching and damaging entire industries. We've got to get some common sense back in Washington—in science, there's an active debate going on."
Back in the Atlanta suburbs, in the downtown plaza of Douglassville, Jack Kingston was taking an even softer tone. His pitch, in ads and in person, was that he was incredibly, personally thrifty. He rode to events in a Buick Roadmaster with 279,000 miles on the speedometer and a paint job chipping like some ancient church fresco. Some campaign aides followed in an RV, but it was the Roadmaster that voters recognized from TV. "I'm the only one in this race who's cut the budget," said Kingston to a few dozen assembled voters and dignitaries.
He didn't say much more about what he'd cut. Kingston huddled for a little while with Terry Baggett, a retired air force colonel who wanted Kingston to keep funding the A-10 Thunderbolt. It was an old, "tank-killing" plane, one that the Obama administration had put on the block to save money, but the veteran didn't want to see it go.
"I've represented five out of our eight military installations," Kingston told the crowd. "I don't ever want America's service men and women to have to fight a fair fight. I want them to be the best trained and best equipped so that they can go to any place and we know what the outcome will be."
Kingston wasn't running as moderate. No one was. He had the Chamber of Commerce behind him, which made it impossible for him to run as "the Tea Party candidate," but even William Temple said he could support Kingston in the fall. Kingston, like the rest of this year's "establishment" candidates, was running as far to the right as he could. He just wasn't going to give Democrats as much to work with as poor Paul Broun or Phil Gingrey.
The Democrats had not given up hope. Wherever he traveled, Kingston was trailed by liberal video trackers—an honor not given to Broun or Gingrey or Handel. "They're with Morning Joe," said Kingston, pointing at an NBC crew who'd followed him to Douglassville. He pointed at the trackers. "They're with George Soros."
As Kingston walked the plaza, a towering volunteer in brown cowboy boots hoisted a KINGSTON sign. The trackers moved, and he moved his sign in front of them. "Ever play cat-and-mouse?" he asked a former local GOP chairman who was watching the dance. After the meet-and-greet, Kingston ducked inside city hall for an interview. The tracker was blocked at the door; the aide and the former chairman exchanged a quick high-five.

Top 5 presidential food favorites
Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are
Happy snow day and Presidents' Day.
Just as the American mosaic is composed of people with different backgrounds and ideas, each of our presidents presents a unique gastronomic portrait.
Let's take a look at five presidential food favorites.
5. Lyndon B. Johnson
LBJ enjoyed steak so much, he could have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Just after Texas filet mignon was served at his inaugural luncheon, sirloin steak with spinach and potatoes were presented at the private dinner before the grand ball. His preferences seemed to veer toward simple classics: When a huge Texas steak wasn't on the table, Southern fried chicken often was, along with spoonbread, popovers, or other home-baked rolls, as well as old-fashioned homemade ice cream.
Donuts gave the New Deal a sugary punch
4. Franklin Delano Roosevelt
FDR also had a taste for simple American foods. One of his favorites was doughnuts, and the family had them for breakfast, as well as tea. It seems that Roosevelt was a coffee aficionado.
His choice of coffee was a dark French roast, prepared in the White House kitchens from green coffee beans. A coffee maker was placed on the President's breakfast tray so that he could regulate the brewing to his satisfaction.
-The Presidents' Cookbook, Poppy Cannon and Patricia Brooks
3. Thomas Jefferson
Unlike the previous two, Jefferson was a bit of a food snob. In his four years in Paris, he became fascinated by the French cuisine, making copious notes of dishes he liked so he could serve them back home. In Holland he sampled waffles for the first time and was so pleased he immediately bought a waffle iron. He didn't lose appreciation for food back home in America, though: He was so fond of his Virginia sweet corn that he raised it in his Paris garden.
2. George H. W. Bush
While Jefferson is known for enjoying fine food, Bush Sr. is known for disliking a particular food--broccoli. "I do not like broccoli, and I haven't liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it, and I'm President of the United States and I'm not going to eat any more broccoli," Bush once pronounced to (mostly) cheers and laughter at a news conference. Barbara also revealed that her husband wouldn't eat cauliflower or Brussels sprouts.
1. Bill Clinton
Got to give the top spot to Bubba. Bill Clinton's love for fast food and other artery-clogging American favorites captured the hearts of many. His taste in food reflects the kind of diet most people his age and older grew up eating--heavy on the meat, dessert at every meal, and tiny amounts of vegetables. The Saturday Night Live skit in which Bill Clinton makes an impromptu stop at McDonald's while the Secret Service try to keep him from eating everything in sight is a golden oldie and one of the best SNL political skits of all time.
Following his recent bypass surgery, however, the former junk food champion revised his eating habits and is leading a much healthier lifestyle that includes lots of legumes, vegetables, and fruits.

The Confectionery's storefront. The Confectionery is a 40-year-old, family-owned spot that offers margarita-flavored jelly beans and poker-chip chocolate coins, which are less devastating to lose
The Confectionery's storefront.The Confectionery is a 40-year-old, family-owned spot that offers margarita-flavored jelly beans and poker-chip chocolate coins, which are less devastating to lose than hard-earned money and more fun to gamble with. Betting with a buffet of sweets ensures entertaining side effects, including heightened banter, increased energy, and the occasional urge to shimmy. Plus, sweets tend to have positive connotations, most likely due to our days as children spent trying to lift our parents' sanctions on our high-fructose corn-syrup intake.
Apparently they failed, because according to a study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average person consumes 25 lbs. of candy per year.
Having experienced years as a tomboy trying to avoid the color pink, I still have minor spasms when I come across the color in bounty. So imagine the seizure induced when I walked into The Confectionery and my irises exploded with baby pink: pink floors, pink walls, pink confetti, and hanging pink Easter baskets. Thankfully, the other childhood impulse of lurching toward candy overcame my initial reticence.
Chocolate Poker Chips.
The shop is lined with clear jars filled to the brim with a smorgasbord of candies: Pixy Stix, candy canes, taffies, buttons, wax lips, and many more. The chocolate-drenched pretzels topped with sprinkles were well made--crunchy but not stale, and packing an underlying nutty taste.
The Nut Cups may seem expensive at $4.25 each, but the dessert is a dense milk-chocolate delight packed with eye-shaped almonds. The Peanut Butter and Jelly Chocolate features fresh strawberry jam and creamy peanut butter in milk chocolate for $1.75 each. The apple-flavored jelly-bean lollipops are nothing special, probably because they are prepackaged chain candies that don't live up to the desserts encased in glass around the store. These come from Moonstruck Chocolatiers, which is owned by chef Julian Rose, recently named one of the best chocolatiers in North America by the magazine Dessert Professional.
Barnyard Bonbons.The milk-chocolate toffee pigs are a fun addition to any party, but too small for the large price of $4.25. While these barnyard bonbons are enjoyable to look at, they need something more than cuteness to deserve such a hefty price. Life advice that can also transcend tastebuds: Cuteness can only go so far; there needs to be substance as well.

Neb. lawmakers eye heart screenings for newborns
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Ten-year-old Cole Klein sat matter-of-factly before a Nebraska health committee on Thursday and told lawmakers about his golf game, his sometimes-annoying little brother and his love of recess.
Then he turned to a more serious subject: The three open-heart surgeries he has endured, and the stent in his pulmonary artery to buy him time before he has to face a fourth.
Klein and his mother, Tiffany Mytty-Klein, were among a handful of advocates who urged lawmakers to support a bill that would require congenital heart screens as a way to help spot potential health threats.
"Like many children born with a heart defect, it's difficult to know about our hearts by simply looking at us," the younger Klein said. "It doesn't matter if we're 10 years old or 10 hours old. Usually, it's only once we're really sick before somebody knows — and too many times, it's too late before anyone knows.
The bill was sponsored by Sen. Jim Smith, of Papillion. The Health and Human Services Committee will decide whether to advance the bill for legislative debate.
"Generally, I'm not one who supports government mandates, such as this," Smith said. "But after studying this issue and visiting with professionals and families impacted by (the disease), I became convinced that requiring screening is the right thing for us as a state to do."
Dr. Robert Spicer, the chief cardiologist at Children's Hospital and Medical Center in Omaha, told lawmakers that that the heart condition is the most common birth defect in newborns. It also can lead to cardiogenic shock and death if undetected.
Spicer said eight out of every 1,000 children born in the U.S. have a form of congenital heart disease. In many cases the disease doesn't create a serious health risk, but 1.2 of every 1,000 children suffer from a life-threatening form of the disease.
Smith said the test costs relatively little and helps avoid costly medical complications for children later in life. Six states have either adopted the screenings for newborns or an in the process of doing so.
The bill would require a panel of experts to develop ways to screen the newborns and develop educational materials. It also would require hospitals to collect and report data about the tests. The combined cost to the state would reach more than $140,000 in the state's next two-year budget, including a one-time expense of $50,000 to develop a record-keeping system.
Sen. Mike Gloor of Grand Island, a former hospital administrator, questioned the need for collecting the heart-screening data. Spicer said the information may be used to gauge whether the tests are performed effectively.

Right as I was reading this, my "senior advisor" from my open Apple case called me. I was hoping to hear the same thing, but he told me, "The engineers have said that they have identified the issue." That was it. WhenI pushed him on what that means, he said he didn't know. I asked if that means that they are fixing the issue that they identified he said he didn't know. When I pushed him further (as what he told me doesn't help me one bit), he finally said that it was related to "Exchange Active Sync."
Again, he could not tell me anything more, and my case is still open, despite the engineers telling him they have identified the issue.
I hope your support rep was right, Steve!

My Experience with 6.1 Beta 4 after afew weeks: EXchange and icloud psuh working fine. Only thing i noticed is that, after you reboot phone, you have to manually open MAil app once before notifications start to appear again.

Switch off mail sync for your iCloud account. Exchange account will push. Poor show but it is a work around in for the limited time left using active sync.

Not using iCloud email.
So that will not help.

What the **** is going on with the issue of not receiving or pushing mail on I-phone 5????? I have wasted entirely too much time trying to identify the reason why im not getting my mail. I am minutes away from sending this junk back and buying something that works at a much lessor cost. Unbelievable that a company launches a product that will not function properly. This phone is costing me money and hurting my business. Unacceptable!

Hello folks,
Well...its been almost three weeks running on ios 6.1 beta 4 on my Verizon iphone 5 and push has been working flawlessly so the fix for Exchange Active Sync push (i'm on a Exchange 2007 server) seems to have worked (whatever it was they did to fix it). Happy camper...now, when will ios 6.1 final go live?
rpsmith Jan 10, 2013 7:51 AM
in response to superclay
6.1 Beta 4 works for me as well (I was the third person who posted on this discussion, I've been dealing with this since September). I installed 6.1 Beta 4 roughly 2 weeks ago and it has worked ever since, even after several restarts.
JMcClureSeattle Jan 10, 2013 9:31 AM
in response to superclay
iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1, ATT -- Thought I'd repost a work-around that has been very consistent for me. When Exchange Push mail fails (while on WiFi or LTE), I turn off WiFi (if applicable), turn on Airplane Mode, reboot the phone, turn off Airplane Mode. Push mail starts functioning. When I find I need WiFi, turning it on (usually) does not break Push mail, and this condition continues for days if not weeks. When Push mail does break, I simply repeat the above procedure and I'm back in business.
If being on WiFi breaks Push mail, simply turning WiFi off allows push mail to come through.
If I don't want to mess with this, simply staying on LTE (WiFi off) keeps Push mail funcitoning. When I find I need WiFi, I manually close my Mail app, do my business on WiFi, turn WiFi off, then launch the Mail app. Push mail functions fine, seemingly uninterrupted.
Hope this, or something similar, helps those struggling. Also hope this can be put to bed with 6.1 release.

"even after several restarts"? Working after re-starts is the exact opposite of what we need to know. Restarting typically was always a temp fix.
The key to knowing if this thing works is NEVER doing anything such as re-starting; re-booting; changing any settings, etc. for at least 2 or 3 weeks.
If it works then, we know it is a fix.

This didnt work for me at all ( vzW iphone 5 - LTE/Wifi).
Wonder whats taking so long to release IOS 6.1

Not restarting for 2 weeks? Not sure that's realistic or indicative of standard user behavior. From the sounds of it, iOS 6.1 will be the resolution to broken Exchange push email. Now it's just a waiting game. Besides, all you guys chatting up prerelease software are probably breaking your NDAs. Tsst tsst.

I love this soup!! I was searching for something to use the carrot greens with due to the amount of carrots I pulled from my garden. I too used the no beef beef broth to keep this vegetarian. I ended up adding extra water/broth to make it more of a broth based soup as the quinoa soaked up the liquid. This really has a fantastic taste and I think a little garlic would be good in it too.
Very good! I added 1tsp of basil and I used No-Chicken bouillon. I will add more water next time, the water simmered down a little too low.
This is an easy and versatile recipe. I made this a few times with vegan "not beef bouillon" and added about a teaspoon of dried basil and dried dill at the end. very good.
Even my 4 year old liked this soup, once she took a bite (any cooked greens always make her fear). The whole family enjoyed it, and it gave me something to do with my carrot tops!
this soup is not only great because it works so nice with the carrot tops, but also cause it truly reveals their complex and alluring taste! Not to mention that it is a great way to have your quinoa too!
Oh, I was so happy to discover this recipe since I've always wondered if people eat carrot tops or only bunnies. Here was my big chance to try them, and they were great - added flavor to the soup similar to parsley. You don't need to add much salt because of the bouillon(oops, I did which is why I mention it)! Both my husband and I give this five stars, and this is unusual since usually he only likes things that are at least 50% fat or sugar! Thanks for a great new favorite. Highly recommended!

AboutOne And FamilySearch International Form New Relationship To Create First Integrated Living Family History Management System
PAOLI, Pa., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- AboutOne ( http://www.AboutOne.com), the leading online family management system, will announce its new relationship with FamilySearch International at the RootsTech genealogy conference this week in Salt Lake City. The annual event, which is hosted by FamilySearch and attracts over 4,000 attendees from around the world, showcases the latest technology and tools available to find, organize, preserve and share family history. FamilySearch is the largest genealogy organization in the world. According to Gordon Clarke, FamilySearch's Software Partner Manager, "AboutOne is the best family recordkeeping system I have seen. We are happy to work with AboutOne to enable their product to search and connect media to FamilySearch family tree. Adding family tree management to AboutOne's existing family photos and journals features will create the first complete living family history management system."AboutOne's web and mobile apps make it possible for customers to store and share family memories (photos, videos, documents and journal entries) and household paperwork in a private and secure environment. Users add paperwork, memories and milestones, plus health and possession details as life events happen. To save time, much of the information is automatically entered by the system, and by linking these items to family members and other contacts, users are able to organize, preserve and share a detailed living family history with just a few clicks, while simultaneously getting organized and prepared for life's challenges with no additional effort. "The first phase of our relationship will be the creation of AboutOne's Elite Advisory Board for FamilySearch customers," says Joanne Lang, AboutOne Founder and CEO. "AboutOne follows Outside-In software development principles to make sure our app meets customers' needs and expectations." According to Lang, "This advisory group will be made up of genealogists, bloggers, and other FamilySearch customers who will give us input about how they want to use AboutOne to organize, preserve, and share a living family history that contains rich multimedia details about each family member's story, including their memories and milestones, health history, education, career, and possessions. This input will be rolled into the development of AboutOne's living family history management system for Family Search customers, which will be the next phase of the relationship."

Editor's note: All summer long, the Southern Foodways Alliance will be delving deep in the history, tradition, heroes and plain old deliciousness of barbecue across the United States. Dig in.
The proper use of the word "barbecue" is a topic that stirs regional passions. Folks from northern climes think nothing of saying, "Come over this afternoon and we'll barbecue some brats."
Such a usage jars the ears of Southerners and can launch them into long speechifying on how barbecue is a noun, not a verb, and that you can only create such a noun by slow-roasting meat on a wood-fired pit.

Consumers can expect to pay more for beef, poultry and milk, as the worst drought in 50 years spreads across the Midwest, destroying crops and sending corn and soybean prices spiking.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Wednesday that meat prices would rise significantly, with the consumer price index for beef and veal expected to gain between 3.5% and 4.5% this year.

NEAR MINT CONDITION! This is a GUARANTEED GENUINE HAND SIGNED NANCY KERRIGAN ICE SKATE! THIS PIECE WAS DONATED BY "PLAY IT AGAIN SPORTS" AND PURCHASED AT A SERTOMA CLUB AUCTION. IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE A GENUINE NANCY KERRIGAN SKATE AND IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE A GENUINE NANCY KERRIGAN HAND-SIGNED AUTOGRAPH OR WE WILL GIVE YOU A FULL REFUND INCLUDING RETURN SHIPPING!! NANCY KERRIGAN WAS THE OLYMPIC ICE SKATING CHAMPION WHO WAS CLUBBED IN THE KNEES AT THE OLYMPIC TRIALS. THE PLOT WAS FORMED BY TONYA HARDING AND CARRIED OUT BY HER EX-HUSBAND JEFF GILLOLY, DERRICK SMITH, TONYA'S BODYGUARD SHAWN ECKARDT, AND SHANE STANT IN 1994. THE AUTOGRAPHED PHOTO AND THE NANCY KERRIGAN WEBSITE PICS ARE NOT FOR SALE - THIS AUCTION IS FOR HER HAND-SIGNED SKATE!
Nearly six months after the attack on Nancy Kerrigan, the U.S. Figure Skating Association yesterday stripped Tonya Harding of her 1994 national championship and banned her from the organization for life.
Nancy Kerrigan went on to win the Silver Olympic medal after an extremely close competition with Gold Medalist Oksana Baiul. She later hosted Saturday Night Live.
I started skating when I was six years old. I took group lessons at a rink near my home. We first had to learn how to stand up on the ice wearing skates. Eventually we learned to move forward, but soon found out that it was not that easy to stop! So that was our next important lesson. Falling down became second nature and it really didn't bother me. I was a tomboy who liked to play rough just like my two older brothers. That's probably why I liked the athletic part of skating - especially the jumping!
I watched skating on TV all of the time. I always liked watching the men's skating because they did all of the jumping and daring moves which was mostly done by men back then.
I started practicing the triple-triple combination when I was 14 years old. This is when you take off into a triple toe loop, spin in the air three times, land on one foot and use that foot to do another triple toe loop and spin in the air three times. I was determined to do it! I practiced and practiced and landed my first triple-triple after one week of practice. I did my first one in a competition a year later. I was supposed to do it at the beginning of my program but got nervous and didn't do it. But I did it at the end. The judges were amazed - no other women were doing them.
It was after that competition that I knew I was not just an average skater.
I was thrilled one year when I was younger when not only did my brothers get hockey sticks for Christmas - but I did too! My brothers thought they were going to get rid of me when I started figure skating - which they said was for wimps. But I still followed them around. They would often put hockey gear on me and have me play goalie for their street hockey games. It didn't bother me a bit! I actually loved it!
My coaches did not always like my "hockey-like" skating - going as fast as I could all over the rink. But they straightened me out - literally! They told me to stand up straight when skating, not bend over like a hockey player!
Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much. It was never about winning medals or being famous. People would ask me why I was doing what I was doing - but I always told them that I just loved to skate. T was no other explanation.
It wasn't always easy getting up at 5 o'clock in the morning to go to the rink. Sometimes I wanted to just go back to sleep. But after a few minutes of convincing myself that I really wanted to go - telling myself that I love skating and that my coach is t waiting for me - I would get up and go. And m...
