The board of the state's health exchange on Wednesday granted final approval for 35 insurance plans to be sold on the state-based online marketplace.
The board for the Washington Health Benefit Exchange certified seven health insurers to offer 35 plans on the state exchange, which is where uninsured individuals will buy coverage for themselves and their families. Another eight multi-state plans from Premera are expected to be included in the exchange once the federal government certifies the plans.
The board approval includes the 18 Clark County plans offered by three insurers — Kaiser Permanente, Community Health Plan of Washington and LifeWise Health Plan of Washington.
The board also approved Kaiser's health plans for small-business owners. The plans will be sold through the Small Business Health Options Program, which will operate similarly to the individual exchange. Those plans are available only to businesses in Clark and Cowlitz counties.
"This is the first time that many Washingtonians will be able to shop for quality health care coverage," Richard Onizuka, chief executive officer for the exchange, said in a news release. "These brand new coverage options will enable residents to find the important health care services they need at costs that best fit their budget."
The board was originally scheduled to approve the plans Aug. 21, but members of the board, state legislators and other stakeholders wanted more options for consumers. The board asked the state insurance commissioner and exchange staff to work with insurers to get more plans cleared for the exchange.
Insurance commissioner acts
Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler initially approved four insurers to provide 31 health plans in the state. Four of the nine insurers Kreidler denied — Kaiser, Community Health Plan, Molina Healthcare of Washington and Coordinated Care Corporation — appealed the commissioner's decision.
Last week, Kreidler announced settlements with Kaiser and Community Health Plan, adding 10 plans to the exchange. The 10 plans increased the number of options in Clark County from eight to 18.
Then on Wednesday, Kreidler announced he had reached a settlement with Molina. The agreement allows Molina to offer two health plans to residents in King, Pierce and Spokane counties.
"Our goal was to offer as many plans to consumers as possible," Margaret Stanley, chairwoman of the exchange board, said in a news release. "By allowing these health plans time to complete the appeals process, we were able to ensure that all offerings that met the requirements this year could participate in Washington Healthplanfinder."
The board has scheduled another special meeting for Friday to allow Coordinated Care additional time to continue its appeal of Kreidler's earlier decision. The state must submit health plan information to the federal government by Friday.
The state-based insurance exchange — called Washington Healthplanfinder — opens for enrollment Oct. 1. Coverage begins Jan. 1.

It almost had to happen: Google is getting into the consumer lending business, though only with a very specific and narrow selection of consumers.
On July 20, Google announced that, in partnership with World Financial Capital Bank, it has created a credit card for small to medium sized businesses that buy ads on Google's AdWords network. The card can only be used to purchase AdWords campaigns.
The new Google AdWords credit card is really more of a line of credit than a credit card, since it can only be used with one merchant (Google) and to purchase one type of thing (advertising). The interest rate will be 8.99%, which is an ongoing, rather than introductory rate, and there is no annual fee. Currently, APRs on business credit cards average around 13%, while rates on personal credit cards are somewhere between 16 and 17%.
Credit limits on the AdWords card will be determined on a case-by-case basis. Like with many new Google offerings, the card is currently in its beta stage and is by invitation only.
Who could benefit from this card?
- Small businesses with seasonal cash flow who want to advertise in advance of busy seasons
- Small to medium businesses that already charge AdWords purchases to credit cards and pay higher interest rates
- Newer businesses with small budgets who find the current credit environment unwelcoming
Google's big-ticket ad clients already have lines of credit, so they're not included in this roll-out.
Why is Google doing this? The company makes 96% of its money from advertising, much of which comes from AdWords ads. Plus, Google is sitting on a huge pile of cash right now, and is financially more than able to do this as a way to address advertiser needs. But also, they're facing increased competition from the search alliance between Yahoo and Microsoft as well as Facebok ads, which are rapidly increasing in popularity.
By throwing down this specialized gauntlet in front of rivals Yahoo, Microsoft, and Facebook, what might Google bring about in the near future? Perhaps a more generalized Google credit card – maybe one that could be used with Google Checkout – will show up on the horizon.
Or perhaps a Facebook-branded card for purchasing Facebook ads could become reality. Facebook already has a partnership with American Express that allows those with American Express cards to redeem rewards for Facebook ads. The fate of this new card is definitely something small business owners will want to watch.

When does preparing a drink qualify as cooking? When it results is something as delightful as this White Sangria.
This past week we were visiting friends in the Hamptons. When the kids were napping, the adults enjoyed an outdoor lunch of charcuterie and a pitcher of sangria. Our hosts had made the tasty beverage the night before and let the flavors of the fruit soak in. The result: Pure summer refreshment.
The generous mix-master shared his recipe with me and I snapped a few pictures–one of the drink and one of me snuggling with my little one poolside.
2 small white nectarines-diced
I green apple-diced
1 bottle sparkling wine
1 3/4 cups apple juice
1 cup club soda
Add the fruit to a large pitcher. Pour in sparkling wine and apple juice. Refrigerate at least two hours (overnight is better) to draw out sweetness and aromas of fruit. When ready to serve, add club soda, and stir. Spoon some fruit pieces into glasses filled with ice, and pour.
Yield: 8 cocktails.

The Phoenix Coyotes travel to Bridgestone Arena this Wednesday night looking to take a commanding lead in their best-of-seven Western Conference matchup against the Nashville Predators with a victory in Game 3. This semifinals showdown is slated for a 6 p.m. (PT) start and the game will be broadcast nationally on CNBC.
Series Outlook- Phoenix Coyotes
The betting public did not think Phoenix would get past Chicago in the first round of these playoffs as a series underdog but it sent the Blackhawks packing in six games. The Coyotes came into this series as +150 series underdogs but after a 4-3 overtime win in Game 1 followed by an impressive 5-3 victory in Game 2 as home underdogs in both, they appear to be onto something. Phoenix now has a 5-1 record in its last six playoff games while outscoring its opponent by a combined score of 20-12.
With that being said, NHL odds boards still list the Coyotes as the betting underdogs in tonight's Game 3. While Nashville might have the home ice advantage on their side now, should hockey bettors let this deter them from siding with the Coyotes with their NHL picks tonight?
Center Antoine Vermette has been the team's leading scorer in the postseason with five goals and three assists but it have been players such as Radim Vrbata, Ray Whitney and Taylor Pyatt that are making a name for themselves in this series. Vrbata has tallied two goals and an assist and Whitney and Pyatt have each scored the game winner to build the 2-0 lead. Another huge reason that the Coyotes are inching closer to the conference finals has been the continued strong play of goalie Mike Smith. He now has a 2.02 goals-against-average and a .943 save percentage through eight playoff games.
Series Outlook-Nashville Predators
Things have suddenly gone from bad to worse for Nashville with the announcement that it has suspended Alexander Rudalov and Andrei Kostitsyn for Game 3 for an undisclosed violation of team rules. Both these players have had a huge impact in the postseason with a combined 10 points in seven playoff games. Look for center David Legwand and rookie forward Gabriel Bourque to try a pick up the slack in their absence. These two have combined for five goals and three assists in the playoffs.
Another concern heading into Wednesday night's game has to be the play of goalie Pekka Rinne. After giving-up a total of nine goals in five games against the Red Wings, he has been tagged for nine goals in the first two games of this series for a save percentage of just .857.
Series Betting Trends
The Coyotes are now 11-2 in their last 13 games overall and 8-2 in their last 10 games following a win. The total has stayed UNDER in eight of their last 14 games.
The Predators are 46-20 in their last 66 games as favorites and 37-15 in their last 52 games as favorites at home. The total has stayed UNDER in three of their last five home games.
The road team is 6-2 in the last eight meetings and the total has stayed UNDER in nine of the last 14 meetings in Nashville. Phoenix is 5-11-1 in its last 17 road games against the Predators.
Despite the loss of Rudalov and Kostitsyn for Wednesday night, look for Rinne to return to form and the rest of team to rally around the energy of the home-town crowd to pull-out a win. Nashville 3 Phoenix 2

MEDINA — When things get out of hand like they did Tuesday, Medina boys soccer player Zach Haynes hikes his feet up on the proverbial Barcalounger and becomes a superfan.
Who can blame the senior keeper during an 11-0 Medina win against Elyria where he saw no shots on goal and just two shots overall?
The Bees (4-0) played that well, while the Pioneers (1-1-1) played that poorly in a game where Haynes played just 60 minutes. Dean McNeil played the other 20 for Medina, seeing one actual shot on goal.
"You try to control things," Haynes said. "Me personally, I try to watch the game and keep talking. I'm always ready for a shot, but the first couple of games have been a breeze."
Especially against Elyria, when Medina outshot the Pioneers 22-1 while holding a 7-1 edge on corner kicks.
It was just what the doctor ordered for the Bees as they head into a tough stretch where they play Copley, Stow, Brunswick and Strongsville.
"We talked about needing to start out 4-0 like this," Medina coach Mark Malikowski said. "We wanted to put ourselves in position to be successful. This will give us some confidence for the tests coming up. We played really well."
The midfield combination of Ross Cirincione, Jake Geiger and Nate Libertowski performed well for the Bees.
With Bernabe Santo Domingo, Graham Smith and Grant Spieth trying to force the action for the Pioneers, the Medina trio kept the ball in the Bees offensive third for almost the entire game.
Save for a shot by Bryce Ziegman with 2:12 remaining or Elyria would have been shut out in two departments.
"A lot of times, we bypass them," Malikowski said. "When we do use them, it's important for them to push forward and join the attack. They did those two things well."
As good as the midfield was, Gareth Evison (2 goals, 3 assists) and Aaron Liezert (3 goals) played even better as the two forwards were involved in the mix time and again.
Things got ugly quick for the Pioneers as Evison converted a penalty kick 3:07 into the contest. His second goal came in the 22nd minute and things went from bad to worse for Elyria.
"It was real important to have a game like this," Evison said. "It was some nice, flowing soccer. Hopefully, this can carry over the next few games. We can take some confidence out of a game like this."
That was the feeling across the board, as Medina put it all together in a contest it needed — even if it was a cross-division Northeast Ohio Conference game.
To a man, Malikowski pointed to the play of Michael Clendenin, Ryan Stenquist, Nick Everetts, Jared Vidika, Corbin Kruczek, Libertowski, Geiger, Evison, McNeil, Haynes, Cirincione and Liezert as the squad put together a Hurculean effort against an overmatched team.
That effort — along with the class the Bees showed in the blowout — left a lasting presence on Elyria coach Phil Mariner as well.
"They have a deep collection of talent," Mariner said. "Their eight subs are as good as their starters. They move to the ball and play off the ball well. They're a very, very good team."

Parkinson's Disease Health Center
Up and Coming Drugs for Parkinson's
April 18, 2002 -- Three new drugs showing great promise in the treatment of Parkinson's disease are being discussed at this week's annual meeting of the American Academy of Neurology.
One drug seems to improve mental sharpness and reduce hallucinations in late-stage Parkinson's patients, says study author Paul Reading, PhD, of the Regional Neurosciences Centre of Newcastle General Hospital in England.
Significant impairment in thinking and hallucinations are relatively common in advanced Parkinson's, according to Reading. Yet in his study of 12 patients, six weeks of the drug Exelon -- currently used to treat Alzheimer's disease -- showed "significant improvements," he says in a news release. When the 12 quit taking the drug, their symptoms returned.
The drug had added benefits: Patients had faster reaction times, were better able to focus, and had better memory when performing tasks.
"We are encouraged by the fact that these benefits of [Exelon] therapy did not seem to come at the expense of patients' [muscle] control," Reading says.
The Exelon study was supported by the drug's maker, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corp.
Studies of two drugs to treat early-stage Parkinson's show they both work better than levodopa, the gold standard used for some 30 years. Both drugs seem to work better than levodopa in slowing the loss of brain cells that produce the chemical dopamine.
Mirapex was tested for six weeks against levodopa in 82 patients with early Parkinson's. With Mirapex, patients had from 21% to 25% improvement in thinking abilities. Patients also had fewer hallucinations and sleep disturbances. Overall, loss of dopamine function was slowed by about 40%.
This study was partially sponsored by Pharmacia Corp. and Boehringer Ingelheim, the makers and distributors of Mirapex.
The data suggest that patients initially treated with Mirapex experience a significantly slower rate of loss of dopamine-producing brain cells compared to those treated with levodopa, according to study author Kenneth Marek, MD, with the Institute for Neurodegenerative Disorders in New Haven, Conn.
Requip was similarly tested against levodopa in a two-year study of 93 patients with early Parkinson's, says study author Ray Watts, MD, professor of neurology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.

China Express
This didn't taste nearly as good as it looked. I think I had my expectations set too high because it was so colorful and pretty. Broccoli was good and the water chestnuts had just the right amount of crunch. The scallops, however, were somewhat rubbery. I also did not like the texture of the fake crab. The shrimps were delicious, though. I also liked that they removed the tails so I didn't have to deal with them.
Though I really wasn't a fan of this dish, I would give China Express another shot. I think I just need to try something else on the menu. Good seafood is kind of hard to come by around these parts. I should have just ordered something with beef or pork or chicken or something.
I do like that the restaurant delivers because sometimes you just don't feel like eating pizza.

- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 26 milk chocolate kisses

- In a small bowl, whisk egg white until foamy. Shape dough into 1-in. balls; dip in egg white, then roll in nuts. Place on greased baking sheets. Using a wooden spoon handle, make an indentation in center of each cookie. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until center is set.

Reviews for Chocolate Thumbprints Cookies
"I made 2 batches. The first, by mistake, I made 12 cookies instead of 24. That ended up working well. The second batch I made 24 cookies and cut the filling by half. I also reduced the sugar by not quite half throughout the recipe. That really made them taste as though I was using "dark chocolate." In addition, I used "dark chocolate" Kisses. Next time I'll make 12 with half the filling and reduced sugar and dark Kisses. The kids rated it a "keeper" to the Christmas cookie list. Thanks for sharing!"
"I had absolutely NO difficulties with this cookie. It turned out fabulous and was a "Hit" at the cookie exchange. Because one in our group eats no gluten, I used a gluten free flour I purchased at Costco, Namaste Perfect Flour Blend. It was perfect. (I even used it in my homemade brownies for our church bake sale!). Be sure your nuts are chopped well so after dipping the cookie ball in the egg white it is well coated with nuts. No one likes scrambled egg whites on their cookies."
"I mistakenly shaped the dough into 1/2 inch balls and discovered the chocolate kiss was too big for the dough. I used chocolate morsels instead and discovered I liked the smaller bite-size version and so did my husband's co-workers!"
"Some helpful tips are: 1) refrigerate dough divided into 4 parts, work with only one part out of the refrigerator at a time, 2) use a slotted ladle like spoon to dip cookie in egg white or nuts, 3) wait for 5 minutes before adding filling for more cooling time, 4) pipe filling from a sandwich bag with tiny corner cut off, 5) experiment with cherry cordial kisses or caramel kisses or peppermint kisses and different fillings such as caramel or marshmallow or peanut butter! Have fun with this tasty cookie that looks like it's from a bakery!"
"Fantastic.The dough was sticky. I just did it quick so they wouldn't melt at room temperature.The cookies didn't maintain their thumbprint while in the oven. Don't sweat the small stuff. I put icing on the top and the kiss on top of that and it was fine.I used parchment paper on my cookie sheets. They were easy to remove.You do have to let them cool before putting the icing on them or it will run and the kiss will melt.I forgot to cocoa powder (who does that?), they still tasted amazing. I've had lots of complements. I will make these again and recommend the recipe to others. It's a good low-medium maintenance prep cookie."

Jess blogs at Bright Green Door. She was delighted recently to find a honeycomb lamp at Target, but when she brought it home, "every lampshade I owned was either too big or too small and I couldn't find ANYTHING the right size," Jess confesses.
Sometimes desperation is the best inspiration: Jess thought of a popcorn tin leftover from Christmas. It was just the right size! After a trial run to make sure it wouldn't overheat, she gave it two coats of gold spray paint. The "new" lampshade looks like it was made to go with the lamp. Great idea, Jess!

College Hockey:Nebraska-Omaha Tops Bowling Green
Mavericks Rally Without Marshall
OMAHA, Neb. — Winning ugly earns you as many points in the standings as winning with style and flair will, so don't expect to see anyone from the Nebraska-Omaha hockey team complaining too much after their 5-3 victory over Bowling Green on Friday night in front of 5,197 at the Omaha Civic Auditorium.
It was rarely flowing, attractive hockey to watch, and 'rarely' might be generous, with the game-winning goal, a redirection of an Ed Del Grosso shot off of senior forward Brandon Scero's skate, serving as a rather fitting end to a game whose sloppiness overshadowed the end-to-end action that one would otherwise expect from an eight-goal game.
"There were parts of the game that weren't necessarily works of art," UNO coach Mike Kemp said. "I was not really disappointed, although maybe I will be after I see the tape tonight, but I thought we did what we had to do."
Mission accomplished, then, for a UNO team (14-13-4, 11-10-4 CCHA) that didn't have the game wrapped up by any means until Scero's winner on a power play, one of the Mavericks' two strikes with the man advantage that left the Falcons (14-15-0, 11-12-0 CCHA) and BGSU head coach Scott Paluch disappointed.
"We did a decent job throughout the entire game, but you want your power play to score goals, and UNO's did," he said. "They have a lot of good players out there, and their power play won the game for them."
The Mavericks could have been forgiven for entering the game with a sense of trepidation after losing senior captain Bryan Marshall to an ankle injury that occurred earlier in the day. However, Marshall's senior line-mates Scero (a goal and three assists) and Mick Lawrence (two assists) were able to make up for their fallen compatriot's absence.
"The biggest reaction after a game like that is relief, because we stepped into it without Marsh and lost him five minutes before game time," Kemp said. "It's more of a shock than anything else there, so you wonder how your team is going to respond.
"I went to the (other) seniors before the game and said, 'You guys need to pick up the slack here; this is your time to lead now.' You can't be sitting back saying, 'Oh, woe is me;' it's time to go out and do something about it."
Despite the seniors' heroics however, the game didn't live up to many Mavericks' fans' expectations, especially with so many of them waxing nostalgic this week in remembrance of the infamous 2000 CCHA Play-In game at the jam-packed Civic Auditorium in which the Mavericks defeated the Falcons 3-1 to go to the CCHA finals in Detroit in their very first season in the league.
Unfortunately, the atmosphere in the building on Friday did not even come close to that of that much-revered evening eight years ago, something that did not go unnoticed by Kemp. However, it was the somewhat meager attendance on Friday, less than half of the school-record 10,548 that saw the Mavericks defeat Ohio State
last weekend at Qwest Center Omaha, which really left something to be desired from the home crowd.
"I know we're in a holiday week, but one of the myths about this place is that you can't get a ticket when we play here, and that's not right," he said. "When we play here, there's still availability.
"The students didn't turn out the way I thought they should have, and we need them here. What a great atmosphere we could've had if they were here. It would've been great."
There will be one more chance for the Mavericks' faithful to stir up the echoes of their team's famous playoff win over the Falcons though, as the two teams square off again once more tomorrow night at the Civic Auditorium.

A recent interview with the lovely Iranian/Australian actress, Salme Geransar, here's what she had to say:
Please introduce yourself to the readers:
My name is Salme Geransar and I am an Iranian born Australian actor. My family moved from Tehran to the Central Coast when I was 4 years old. I made my move to Sydney to train at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Arts, when I was 20 years old. I currently live and work in Melbourne.
How and when did you first get into performing?
I was in my 2nd year of University studying Biotechnology when I decided it wasn't for me. The theory was interesting but I never enjoyed the lab work. I took some time off and found a local drama school to take some weekly classes. I was 19. I had never had any acting classes before (our school didn't offer drama classes) but it had always intrigued me.
Who were some of your biggest inspirations?
My biggest inspiration is my mum. She taught me to work hard and fight for what you want.
What kind have training have you done?
After discovering my passion for acting, I traveled to New York to train at the New York Film Academy. Shortly after returning to Sydney, I undertook the 3 year full time Actors course at the Australian Academy of Dramatic Art. Since graduating, I've been taking ongoing screen acting classes and workshops with casting directors through the Australian Film and Television Academy and Brave Studios. I also completed the Batson/Strasberg course through 16th Street. I think it's important to be constantly learning and keeping your skills up for that next audition.
What has been your favorite role to play so far?
Recently in the film 'Wish' I played an Iranian woman held in an immigration detention center who meets an Australian man online. She marries him as a way to leave the camp, but instead of finding freedom, she is once again trapped, but this time in a violent relationship. The script was based on true events, so I felt a great responsibility to get the audience to connect with her and her story. I'm proud that this film brings social awareness. It doesn't just highlight the vulnerability of refugees and the desperate choices they are often forced to make, but also those who are trapped in domestic violence who aren't able to ask for help or don't have anyone to turn to.
What projects do you have coming up?
I'm writing a short film, which I'm really excited about, I think it's important for actors to create their own work. It's about a brother and sister who were separated at an early age by their parent's divorce and grew up in different cultures. A tragic event leads them to reunite 10 years later.
Who would be your ideal co-star and why?
There are so many amazing actors I would love to work with. The obvious ones just to name a few: Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, Maggie Smith, Geoffrey Rush...they all make such interesting choices and are so versatile. I'd love to just be on set with them and watch how they work!
What are your plans for the future?
Like so many Australian actors, I want to make the move to LA. It's sad because I'd love to stay and work in Australia but unfortunately we have a very small industry in comparison and there isn't much diversity in casting. In LA, I'm hoping I can audition more frequently, in Australia I'd be lucky to get one audition a month.
What is your advice to other actresses getting into the industry?
Work hard and don't give up. I've seen so many talented actors give up in the first few years after graduating because they couldn't get representation or auditions. It's a tough industry, so be prepared for rejections.

Its cooking school was the first to bring nationally recognized chefs and cookbook writers to the Twin Cities. From internationally renowned cooking to a huge cookbook selection, it satiates even the hungriest cook's appetite for knowledge, inspiration, and gear.

Become a Sponsor
By becoming a sponsor of the AIDS Clickathon, your company or non-profit can make a big difference in the lives of children who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Not only will your pledge have a direct impact, but it also creates an incentive for others to give and tell their friends about the AIDS Clickathon. The end result could be several times as much money raised as your contribution.
Would you consider giving 5, 10, 20 cents or more for each click?
In appreciation for pledges of at least 5 cents per click (or $1,000 total) we will place a link to your website on the main AIDS Clickathon web page as well as a link the navigation menu of the blog.
To make a pledge or to ask any questions you may have about pledging, please either call us at 727-723-2454 or contact us through our help desk.
Thank you for your support!
In His Service,
Can you tell me more about the ministry building the children's home?
Sure, it's called Springs of Hope. It is led by a wonderful Christian couple (Joe and Molly Bail) who visited Kenya and were so moved by what they saw that they decided to sell their home and move to Kenya to help the children. They will be working along side a Kenyan pastor who oversees several churches in the area, and with the support and oversight of Cypress Meadows Community Church in Clearwater, FL.
How many people do you expect to click on the Clickathon website?
Our goal is that at least 20,000 people will click on the site, however, if it gets picked up by the press or in the blogosphere that could grow to 5 or 6 figures. So, if you wish to place a cap on your total pledge, we certainly understand.
Do I need to make a payment now?
No, all we are asking for at this time is a pledge. After the Clickathon is over and we know how many people visited the campaign site, we will follow-up with you concerning your contribution.
Why does the link people click go to an article about viral marketing?
To further propogate word about AIDS Clickathon, an article about the Clickathon and our efforts to spread the word about it has been submitted to an international online marketing competition. The more people who read the article, the better it will do in the competition, which will bring more attention to the AIDS Clickathon.

Probably our all time favorite is this Praline "Lick your fingers" Kugel from Jewish Cooking In America. There would be a serious rebellion if it didn't show up to break our Yom Kippur Fast.
I own three of the ten books she's produced over the years, many winning prestigious awards - like James Beard Foundation, Silver Spoon and IACP (to name just a few) and I love them all. But back to what makes Joan stand out, which takes us back to her university days. She actually earned two masters degrees - one in French Literature and the other in Public Administration and went to work in Israel for the Mayor of Jerusalem and then for the Mayor of NYC, co-founding the Ninth Street Food Festival. That interest in the people as well as the recipes led to her PBS cooking shows and all the fantastic cookbooks.
Her books are so much more than sharing great recipes. They take you into the homes of people around the world, exploring their culture, their kitchens and their ways to celebrate the holidays.
Most of Joan's books document Jewish experiences around the world. How they adapt their cultural traditions to the customs and foods of the countries they live in. She writes their stories so vividly and naturally, shares their recipes.
I admit, I was expecting her latest book, The New American Cooking, to be more of the same with a more modern, perhaps healthier slant. And it is very healthful, interviewing organic farmers and artisan bread & cheese makers. But it goes way beyond that. This book reflects not only Jewish migration to the US, but that of people of different backgrounds who emigrated from Asia, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Middle Eastern countries, Latin America...where ever they've come from...their stories AND their recipes for all of us to enjoy.
In flipping through the book, I found a very unique recipe for cabbage soup. I love cabbage soup - with meat, without, with beets, without, but I admit I've never seen a recipe quite like this one....or the story that goes with it.
The story goes (she tells it so much better than I - on Page 141), that back when Haiti was a French colony, many French citizens owned plantations and would serve this soup at their New Year celebrations. It's flavored with Creole spices, allspice, butternut squash, cabbage, beef, carrots....the list of ingredients is awesome...and the Haitian slaves were forbidden anything but the aroma. Since the Haitian liberation in 1804, this has become the traditional meal of Haitians around the world. And it is delicious.
As I said It's not only a great collection of recipes, it's a wonderful read!

Party Monster rehabilitated
Michael Alig, the notorious 90s New York club kid turned promoter extraordinaire, convicted of killing his roommate in a frenzied attack, was released last week after 17 years in prison, amid much speculation about his future. Danny Corvini reports.
1996: New York's World Trade Centre towers were still standing and Madonna was on top of her game – and no one could imagine it any other way. Selfies didn't exist, the internet was only available on dial up, and Facebook were two words you'd never hear put together. Grindr, the smart phone app that has fundamentally changed the gay scene, wasn't to appear on our phones for another 13 years.
These are a couple of the things that prisoner no. 97A6595 will have to confront. That prisoner is Michael Alig, the notorious New York club kid turned promoter extraordinaire, who was released from a New York jail last week after serving 17 years. The crime? Alig, along with friend Robert 'Freeze' Riggs', was convicted of killing his drug dealer and roommate, Andre 'Angel' Melendez, when confronted about his drug debt.
"Michael's release has divided people," Michael Musto, former Village Voice columnist and attendee at Alig's parties, tells SX. "Some feel he should eternally rot in hell, while others feel he's done his time and should be allowed to live his life."
Alig, now 48, was collected from prison by friends and immediately posted photos on his Twitter account, which until now has been maintained by a friend. He was taken to a New York restaurant where his inner circle of club kid friends, including his number one frenemy James St James, star of web series Transformations, gathered to celebrate and post photos galore; and there are even suggestions that the whole thing has been filmed.
"The dinner was supposed to be a small gathering of Michael's old friends, though it was crashed by some other club kids," says close friend and club kid Ernie Glam. "James' and Michael's personal dynamic hasn't changed and it was just as entertaining to me as it was 20 years ago when we'd sit in our living room together. It felt like a family reunion sitting at the dinner table listening to their faux bickering."
Above: Michael Alig in the 90s. Top image: Alig tweeted a self-portrait shortly after his release
In an open letter to Alig, published just before his release, St James said: "You've become a bit of a legend since you went in and you will stop the room the first few times you go out. There will be places where you go where nobody will recognise you and nobody will care. And because you are no longer a cute little twink, 20-somethings will look right through you. My point: Enjoy the times people recognise you, because not being recognised when you're old suuucks."
But while Alig and the club kids have certainly grown older, their infamy has spread to a whole new generation thanks to the movie Party Monster, which was based on James St James's book, Disco Bloodbath, which chronicles their drug-fuelled friendship.
"I'm disturbed by the young clubbie types who seem to admire him even more because of the killing," Musto says. "That speaks to a truly dark side of their soul and I'm afraid it will feed into his own ego and enable him for all the wrong things.
"But the new club kids in NYC are generally ethical, honest and have day jobs. They just dress up for creative expression and fun. I don't think Alig will be able to change any of that. There are new rules and a whole new landscape."
I interviewed Alig in a series of handwritten letters between 2001 and 2004, and when I asked him what he would do upon his release, he replied: "The first thing I'll do is eat food. Real food. Then have sex. With anybody. Everybody! After all, I'll have years to make up for! Well, that's what I think I'll do, anyway. Reality never lives up to fantasies, though. That's why I'm a big advocate of never living out your fantasies. Sometimes the most exciting things in life are the things you never get to do."
While that's a bit hard to swallow coming from someone who based his whole clubbing persona on fantasy, Alig will get a chance to fully articulate life from his perspective when he finally releases his book Aligula, which he has been writing since we corresponded. It will be particularly interesting to note how his perspective on the murder has changed; at the time he described it like this: "I'm not blaming drugs, but we were fighting over an outfit. The thing with Angel was so spontaneous, like a reflex action".
"I've forgiven Michael for his horrible crime against my friend Angel and I'm certainly going to do whatever I can to help him get on the right track," says Glam. "I think Michael is going to be fine on the outside so long as he does not use drugs. He's got lots of opportunities and he's a very creative, adaptive person."
"Michael will be watched and hopefully won't return to nightlife since he'll have a curfew," says Musto. "I hope he will go on a completely new path. Meanwhile, I don't know if he's really changed, but I know society and nightlife have."
St James, who Alig told me had left him feeling betrayed by his portrayal in Disco Bloodbath and Party Monster, wrote to Alig in a public letter just before his release: "The scene has changed. Clubs aren't the subversive pleasure palaces of yore. Now, it's just a thousand shrieking girls taking selfies and dancing to 'Wake Me Up' by Avicii."
Alig might well find that he prefers the fantasy.

April is International Guitar Month. For everyone in the Des Moines area, there are a couple frugal options for families to increase their appreciation of guitars.
Steven Kennedy, president of the Heart of Iowa Classical Guitar Society, recently said via email, "There are three events that we are involved with in April." Two of April's shows are free, and listed below. The third, and all other events associated with the society, can be found at its website.
Other guitar-related ideas include crafting a toy guitar from recycled cardboard boxes and rubber bands and listening to free music from the internet or any of the area's wonderful public libraries. Some families may like to have an air guitar show or play a video game based on guitar playing.
Kennedy stated further that his group's "...events are really not suitable for younger, potentially restless children (due to the length of the concerts), but generally children age 8 and older are okay."
Live concerts can be a great way to increase one's interest in music lessons and music appreciation, and many children enjoy seeing instrumentalists at work. The Society holds free concerts for several different artists at a variety of venues in the central Iowa region throughout the year.
April 5, 2014 at 7:30pm - Steven Kennedy, classical guitar concert

Much is made in Scripture and throughout Chruch history about correct worship, teaching and how to live as a faithful follower of Christ. But what are those fundamentals that we can all agree on? Catholic or Protestant, there are a few "non-negiotables" that we, as the Church of God, need to adhere to. Not only for the prosperity of the Church, but for the success of our own lives in Christ. When we stray from these, when we fight over the details, we lose the opportunity to join God in His Work through the Great Commission.
Loren Cunnigham articlated this point to a young Dave Buehring during a plane fight in 1980, when he said over the course of their conversation:
You know, Dave, it really isn't important how big the organizations are that you will lead, or the size of the groups that you will teach. The way that God will measure the fruitfulness of your life is whether you have invested to the third and fourth generations.
Loren was talking about what Paul told Timothy in his 2nd letter to him. Paul instructed Timothy to, be strong in grace and teach reliable people what he knew, so they could in turn teach others who would then teach others. Loren was encouraging Dave to not just make disciples, but make disciple-makers. God doesn't care if we go to traditional or contemporary worship. He wants us focused on the things we know, versus the things we do not. (Psalm 131) When we spend too much time chasing ideas down rabbit holes, we lose our zeal for anything but proving our point.
How can we invest in ourselves and those around us, to carry the Gospel forward? We need to 1. know what the basics of our faith and 2. avoid spending too much time arguing.
There are many great theologians who have written their opinions on what our true beliefs should be as Christians. While they contribute to our understanding, we can go straight to the source. Jesus made Himself clear on what was important to Him. And what is important to Christ, as the Author and Finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), should be where we focus our thoughts, words and actions.
Jesus' life here on Earth and after His Resurrection had significant themes we can latch on to:
- Reconcillaition to the Father, through Christ (John 14:6; John 17:3,7; Revelation 3:20)
- Forgivness of Sin (Luke 23:24; Luke 6:37-39)
- Growth in relationship with God (John 15:8)
- Unity through Self-Sacrifical Love (John 17:20; John 13:5; Matthew 16:24-26; Luke 10:37)
- Believing God's Word (John 8:31; Luke 4:4,8,12)
- Growing the Family of God, through Christ (Matthew 28:19-20)Teaching the Truth Jesus Proclaimed (John 21:15-16)
- Caring for the Lost and Hurting (Matthew 25:31-46)
We don't have to wonder what our faith should look like or how Jesus would have us act. He gave clear direction to His Disciples and through His Words, directly to us. He used Peter, Paul, James, John, Luke, Matthew and Mark as the primary documentors of His life and we can trust their words were inspired directly from the mouth of God. We can't pick and chose what is right, we must trust Jesus already did that.
If these aspects of faith are important to you, then you are focused on being a Disciple of Christ. You can invest in growing the Church around you through encouraging others to focus on these things as well - instead of arguing or getting caught up in the drama of life. The more we focus on what Jesus wanted, verses ourselves, the more we will please God. 2 Chronicles 16:9 says that The Lord is constantly on the look out for people who want to please Him. He rewards that faith and strengthens it, so you can strengthen others. Doctrine is important, but to me, what is most important is practicing the basics of our faith. It is about the process of growth through becoming free of the fear we don't have all the answers. We have to focus on what we know. That is what they did after Jesus ascended and in the periods of tremendous Church growth - that is where the effort was.
Constantly reaching for the goal of being made like Christ means you might be a Christian!

My philosophy when it comes to skincare used to be all about being natural, i.e. doing nothing, back when I could get away with it, back when I was 16, 17, 18, 19 and my skin was tighter, smoother, less blotchy. The only products in my then pacifist-hippie beauty non-proliferation arsenal were Johnson and Johnson Baby Oil, shampoo and a jar of Carmex. But, that was then.
Now? I have issues that, yes, need to be addressed – renewed, replaced, resurfaced. And, yes, I attend to these little areas with products that I deem worthy. And I purchase said products based solely on two thing – scent (none, or a hint of citrus) and packaging (classic, clean lines without being sterile). I have my preferred products, which I never deviate from. So why did I get sucked into a beauty-product wormhole? Easy. I was a pint light.
"Excuse me? Ma'am? Would you mind?"
He was a semi-swarthy version of Gerard Butler, with an unidentifiable accent (additional cuteness points) who beckoned me to sit in one of his empty bar-type stools that stood around his kiosk-cart situated in the heavily trafficked right-of-way in one of Milwaukee's upscale malls.
Normally, I would have pretended not to hear him, or would have not made eye contact, or would have made sure I had had my crazy face on – a scowl, eyes darting from side to side – a look that says to passers by, "I am off my meds! Stay away!" But not on that day, because, I was a tad woozy after just donating whole blood, and I was rewarding myself with a trip to Sephora for Clinique Sunblock, SPF 30, for the face, $17.00, when I got sucked into his hottie-hawking-skincare-products tractor beam.
"Please . . . could you remove your glasses?"
The last time an attractive guy asked me to do that? I think Jimmy Carter was President and I drove a green Vega.
"Are you happy with your face?" he asked.
"Happy with my face?" What kind of question was that? No, I wasn't happy with my face and I haven't been ever since I turned 9, and was often asked if I was Woody Allen's sister, but I've made peace with it and at this point in my life? Who really cares?
"May I ask you, your age?"
I usually lie about my age. I add five years, because that way, no matter how bad I look, people are always impressed, but like I said, my blood level was down, and I couldn't think fast enough.
"55," I said.
He began to dab a cream around my eyes.
"Let me ask you, this," he said, "Don't you care about your skin?" Dab. Dab. Dab.
I wasn't wearing any makeup, not even my basic eyebrows-and-lipstick-package, "Do I look like I care?" I said.
"Ah, come on, now! You are woman? No?"
Oh. My. God. He had to ask?
He held up a mirror, "You see, the difference? Left eye? Right eye?"
"Well . . . not really. I mean, left eye, right eye? They both look the same. Puffy. Droopy."
"No. There is definite difference." He took away the mirror.
"Let me ask another question. Do you like your laugh lines? Those deep, deep, lines around your mouth? You like those? You want those?"
"I do. Well, they are laugh lines, meaning, they come from laughing. Now, if they were called widow's lines or my-dog-just-died lines, then, maybe–"
"Please. Stop. Be serious," he said. I apologized even though, I was being serious.
"How much do you spend on your current skin care?"
"Nothing," I said.
"Don't be funny. You spend money. You have a bag from Sephora. Let me see the receipt."
"I'm not going to show you my receipt! If you must know, I spent $17. On sunblock. And the other stuff I use? The moisturizer, a toner, a cleanser? Those I get for Christmas, and they last me until my birthday in August and then I get another batch as a gift, so there."
"But you do use product. Right? You do care about your skin. Let me ask you why? You want to look like you don't care, but, you do. Why do you think you do that?"
Good question. Why do I apply moisturizer and toner and cleanse with specially formulated cleanser, and then sometimes chemically slough off the top-most layer of my epidermis? Why? Um . . . it can't be because I want to stave off aging (I'm a realist!) or that I'm vain and want to maintain my beauty, because, I was never considered to be a beauty or a stunner. Hardly. I was The Girl With The Good Personality. The best friend of the head-turners. The Midge to their Barbie.
My best guess?
"Um, because, I want to look . . . uh, you know . . . not bad?" I winced because I didn't have a good answer.
"Exactly! And don't you want the best?"
Oh no. That was the wind-up and then came the pitch. This cream he had dabbed underneath my left (or was it right eye?) Pretty much the 8th Wonder of the World. He said something about the Dead Sea, blah, blah, blah, minerals, blah, blah, blah, elements, blah, blah, blah. Whatever. I don't know what he said. I was too busy thinking about an exit strategy.
"Cut to the chase," I said. "How much?"
"What? Are you insane?" I said.
He got out his calculator and broke it down to a daily amount. I scoffed.
"You go to Starbucks?" he asked.
"Out to dinner?"
"You have cable?"
"No, my husband doesn't believe in cable."
He gave me back the mirror, flipped it over to the magnifying side.
"Look at the difference between the eyes! Can't you see it?"
"Well, you know what would impress the hell out of me?" I said.
"What?" he said.
"If I looked in this mirror, and the face looking back at me looked like Charlize Theron's."
"How about $70?" he said. "I let you have it today, for half price. Just today. Only for you. Because . . . because . . . I like you."
"No, you don't," I said.
"I do."
"No, you don't."
He shrugged. I was getting tired and bored. My exit strategy? The truth.
"Listen . . . it's been fun, really, but, I need to eat something."
I got off the stool, took my glasses, my Sephora bag and started to leave.
"Wait!" He shouted after me. "Take it."
"Take it?!"
"Yes. Take this. Here. Just take it. I am giving it to you."
The very same product that five minutes ago was $140? He was willing to part with for nothing? I must have some kind of juju. For the record, I didn't take it. I couldn't. It smelled like a funeral.
And, and more importantly, the packaging sucked.

Oct. 3 TigerCast: Jim Barlow & Spenser Huston
On the eve of both of their Ivy League openers, men's soccer head coach Jim Barlow and junior offensive lineman Spenser Huston join the latest edition of TigerCast.
Barlow, who has led Princeton to three Ivy League titles, including the 2010 crown, will guide the Tigers Saturday afternoon in the Ivy opener at Dartmouth. The Tigers are 2-5, though they have played a challenging non-league schedule and split a pair last weekend.
Huston was a second-team All-Ivy League offensive lineman last season, and he has helped Princeton to a Top-10 rushing offense nationally early in the season. Huston is one of four starters who started mutliple games last season, and he will try to lead Princeton to an Ivy-opening win for the third straight season.
TigerCast can be accessed through the "Podcasts" tab on the right side of the main page, or by going to the main TigerCast page here.
TigerCast, presented by PNC Bank, is the official podcast of Princeton Athletics. Previous episodes of TigerCast can be downloaded for free anytime at GoPrincetonTigers.com.
To listen to specific interviews, please use this guide: Jim Barlow (men's soccer) 4:05; Spenser Huston (football) 14:55.
Sept. 19: Max Coale (football) 4:55; Phillip Bhaya (football) 17:35.

Carolyn Wonderland's vocals have been compared to Janis Joplin and her guitar playing skills have been compared to Stevie Ray Vaughan. The combination results in one heck of a Texas musician. Wonderland also is a skilled whistler, a slide demon, a talent on the trumpet, and a tickler of the ivories on piano. With all these musical talents it is no surprise Wonderland has won multiple musical awards in her hometown of Houston, Texas and in the musical hub of Austin. Now after nine albums Carolyn Wonderland is coming to Hagerstown, Maryland.
Carolyn Wonderland performs tonight as part of the Western Maryland Blues Festival. She is scheduled to play an hour set starting at 5:45 PM. The blues party takes place in the Center Parking lots in downtown Hagerstown off of Potomac Street.You can learn more about Carolyn Wonderland at her website.
You can find out about tickets and who else is playing at the festival through the Blues Fest website. Come out and enjoy a blues filled weekend in Hagerstown. Come out Friday and discover a true Texas musical talent known as Carolyn Wonderland.

Children's Books Genres
Gender-oriented series books are series designed to appeal specifically to either boys or girls, but not both.
From board books to picture books, licensed titles to novelty books, many are developed to cater to gender-specific themes or characters. And although many books up to and through middle-grade series are found in this genre, as you approach the young adult audience, gender specificity tends to fall away.

text: Hi everyone, during the last days I had a look at the way we initialize serial ports to track down the remaining issues with QNX. I found that most drivers initialize a serial port smiliar to this: p->fd = open(device, O_RDWR | O_NOCTTY | O_NDELAY); tcgetattr(p->fd, &portset); #ifdef HAVE_CFMAKERAW cfmakeraw(&portset); #else portset.c_iflag &= ~( IGNBRK | BRKINT | PARMRK | ISTRIP | INLCR | IGNCR | ICRNL | IXON ); portset.c_oflag &= ~OPOST; portset.c_lflag &= ~( ECHO | ECHONL | ICANON | ISIG | IEXTEN ); portset.c_cflag &= ~( CSIZE | PARENB | CRTSCTS ); portset.c_cflag |= CS8 | CREAD | CLOCAL ; #endif cfsetospeed(&portset, speed); cfsetispeed(&portset, speed); tcsetattr(p->fd, TCSANOW, &portset); Now what's wrong with that? In our own implementation we clear CRTSCTS and set CREAD and CLOCAL. I looked at cfmakeraw() from glibc, FreeBSD, NetBSD and QNX and none of it modifies CRTSCTS and CLOCAL. Only FreeBSD sets CREAD. Therefore these flags may not be in the desired state after cfmakeraw, depending how they are configured at the time tcgetattr is used. While CRTSCTS may be off by default, CLOCAL is usually not set. As most drivers currently work, I suspect that neither CRTSCTS nor CLOCAL are really needed. Additionally it is a mistake to believe /portset/ cannot be modified after using cfmakeraw - it can be modified, especially to set the timeout values! Some drivers (serialPOS, MtxOrb) refuse to use cfmakeraw (by commenting it out) because the author wanted to set timeouts. In the CrystalFontz drivers, the complete init routine if contained even twice: One time for serial ports using the above code and a second time for USB connected displays. O_NDELAY should probably read O_NONBLOCK, but it seems to work fine on our supported platforms. Therefore, I am short to re-writing the drivers which don't use cfmakeraw correctly. Comments? Regards, Markus

Coudal just announced the winners of last Friday's layer tennis match, and it seems as if Noper and myself are headed for a match this coming Friday. Noper beat Draplin this week with an amazing display of illustration skills. Aaron's an old friend around here, so it'll be an interesting match to try and avenge his loss for sure. Personally, I'm pretty happy I won't have to see that man in a layer tennis match this year. I think Aaron might have my number if we ever have to face off in another match.
Coudal also posted a post game interview with Frank and myself. I gotta say, Mr. Chimero is an incredibly nice guy and a fantastic opponent. The home audience might not have known by the results, but Frank was feeling a bit under the weather on Friday. Regardless, he powered up his mac, warmed up his scanner, stuck it out, and played a hell of a match
It looks like next week's line up is going to consist of Mr. Noper and myself in one cage, and Mig Reyes and Mark Weaver in another. I'm going to enjoy watching those two go a few rounds. It's anybody's game at this point.

Philosopher and scientist Thomas Metzinger argues that neuroscience's picture of the "self" as an emergent phenomenon of our biology and the attendant fact that the "self" can be manipulated--and even controlled--raises novel and serious ethical questions. If, as Metzinger argues, our conception of the self is a sort of tunnel-vision-like experience of the world, with little left in and much left out, can there be better or worse states of consciousness? And if so, what should we do to try to achieve them? Here, Metzinger outlines his vision of a moral philosophy of the mind.
