Miss. law requires cord blood from some teen moms
Rep. Adrienne Wooten, D-Jackson addresses the House chamber during debate over a Medicaid reauthorization bill at the Capitol in Jackson, Miss. Wooten voted against a cord blood bill that says if a girl younger than 16 gives birth in Mississippi and won't name the father authorities must collect umbilical cord blood and run DNA tests to prove paternity. (AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, File) JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — If a girl younger than 16 gives birth and won't name the father, a new Mississippi law — likely the first of its kind in the country — says authorities must collect umbilical cord blood and run DNA tests to prove paternity as a step toward prosecuting statutory rape cases. Supporters say the law is intended to chip away at Mississippi's teen pregnancy rate, which has long been one of the highest in the nation. But critics say that though the procedure is painless, it invades the medical privacy of the mother, father and baby. And questions abound: At roughly $1,000 a pop, who will pay for the DNA tests in the country's poorest state? Even after test results arrive, can prosecutors compel a potential father to submit his own DNA and possibly implicate himself in a crime? How long will the state keep the DNA on file?

OAKLAND -- NFL star and former Oakland Tech and Cal football player Marshawn Lynch was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence Saturday and taken to Santa Rita Jail, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Lynch, 26, who plays for the Seattle Seahawks, was arrested after a traffic stop on Interstate 880 in Oakland, according to CHP spokesman Hector Baiza. Lynch was taken to Santa Rita Jail, where he was cited and released, according to Alameda County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. Raymond Kelly.
The five-year NFL veteran was cooperative and submitted to a blood test once he was in custody, Baiza said. Lynch's blood-alcohol level was over the .08 limit, Baiza added, though he declined to specify the exact measurement.
Lynch was in Oakland last week to award a scholarship to recent high school graduate through his Fam 1st Family Foundation.
The All-American running back was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2010.
Lynch's drivers license was revoked in 2008 after he pleaded guilty to "failing to exercise due care toward a pedestrian." Lynch said he was unaware that he had struck a woman outside a Buffalo, NY, bar at 3:30 a.m.
Lynch, a two-time Pro Bowler, was also suspended for three games in the 2009 season after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor weapons charge.
He was the second Bay Area sports star to be arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated this weekend. San Francisco native and former Cal basketball star Jason Kidd was arrested early Sunday morning near his home in Southampton, NY, after police said he crashed his car into a telephone pole.
Kidd had signed a contract with the New York Knicks only a few days before his arrest.
A call to the Seattle Seahawks was not immediately returned Monday evening. In a statement, the team they were "aware of the situation with Marshawn and still gathering information."

Advice for Parents of Newly Diagnosed Children
We are so thankful for the outpouring of advice that has flooded in for us to share with the Autism Speaks Community. Who better to give advice than you all, the people that know best! We have heard from people on the autism spectrum, parents, siblings, teachers, therapists, and beyond. Your advice has been broken down into categories, and we will post accordingly!
Learn to celebrate every achievement, both large and small. –Liz
My advice is this: Loving persistence. There will be many, many times when you are trying so hard to connect with your child and you feel so frustrated because you believe that you are not getting through to them. Don't stop. Your efforts in communication are not in vain, it is heard, it is cataloged in their mind, even though there is now outward sign of it. Be persistent, there will be moments that you will get feedback from a conversation that took place quite some time back, that's how it clicked for us, the realization of "wow! He did hear me!" It's worth every frustrating effort at those moments. Persistence is the key; you're not being ignored, just not acknowledged… yet. –Thomas
Trust your instincts and your abilities to work with your child. Trust that you know your own child best and while the experts have a lot of training and can offer your child help, you still know your child best and you are going to be the most important therapist in your child's life.
I wish I'd know that autism does not have to equal pain and suffering for parents and their children. It took me a few years to understand that autism can also equal joy and fun and laughter. –Kyle
Don't be sad about what your child CAN'T do, really embrace all of the things he/she CAN DO! –Diana
Your child is not a diagnosis; they are always your child, a person, unique as any other child. –Courtney
As the parent of an autistic child, you don't need to become an expert on Autism; you just need to become an expert on your child. Watch them, study them, and learn what works and what doesn't. Then help those around them to understand. –Anita
It's not about you. Put everything else, yourself, your pride, denial, any preconceived ideas, any fears of stigma aside and get to work as quickly as possible. Save your child with the same urgency as you would someone who is drowning. And then? Savor every small victory. As they begin to find themselves and you feel like you can breathe again, follow them wherever it is they take you and enjoy, enjoy, enjoy the journey. -Ken
These children have such a challenging time constructively processing feelings and emotions. My son at a young age started getting up at the end of movies and dancing during the credits, usually with what seemed to me like a large amount of emotion. This sparked an idea. When I would observe him having an emotional overload or getting frenzied I would turn on music and let him dance it out. He is 9 now and loves to dance it out! We just make room and let him go. It is one of the small things that he has expressed to me that really helps him. –Ellen
1) Grief and self-pity are natural feelings when you first get the diagnosis – allow yourself to experience these emotions and forgive yourself for them. Once you get past it – and you will – focus all your energy on becoming the best advocate and teacher for your child.
2) Your child will be unique in the way he/she is motivated, responds, and takes in information – and you know them best. Share these "tips" with everyone who works with your child and work together to build upon your child's unique qualities and strengths. Always keep looking forward.
3) Appreciate your child for who he/she is including their unique personalities and perspectives. Accept them and take the time to fully connect with them. He/she will bring so much joy to your life – more than you can. –Stacey
Establish a bond of trust between you and your child as soon as possible. -Clara
Remember not to get comfortable w/what you know…things are constantly changing & you must be prepared for many different obstacles to overcome!!! I wish you all the luck! & always try to have patience even when it's so hard! –Brandye
The diagnosis does not change your child; it simply changes how you need to work with your child. Do not be angry at yourself or doctors, it does your child no good. Forget the past and the what ifs, look ahead and set the bar high for everyone, including your child. Keep hope alive!! -Amanda
Don't fear the label. The "diagnosis" will help you get the early intervention services that will change your world later on. Don't get hung up on the milestones your child is not meeting and find joy in your child each day. –Melissa
December 20, 2010 at 10:05 pm
my kid is great, my kid can make his own way in this world, he teaches himself and others better then any one can teach him, he gets his point across in his own way, he is just his own person, he loves and cares for his animals, he is the greatest and bravest person I've ever known and I feel truly blessed
December 21, 2010 at 8:55 am
Excellent advice was provided in this article. As a special education consultant and parent trainer I have witnessed all different types of emotions by families who have a child with special needs. Remember, that as the parent you are your child's best advocate. It is important to get informed of your rights and your child's right. Stay strong, be positive and even though maybe your child will learn differently, they will learn and you as the parents are the best educators!
December 21, 2010 at 10:52 am
I added this post to my "Directory of Blogs with Tips for Parents and Individuals New to Autism or Asperger's." I started this Directory back in May, and have horribly neglected it! You've motivated me to make regularly updating it a priority in 2011. Thanks!
December 22, 2010 at 2:11 pm
Everyday God gives us new mercies and I see those mercies in my son Dominique. Our journey through Autism is for one another. We are touching lives all across the universe with our experiences. Our experiences no matter how great or small builds character, strength and intensifies the love that we have for our loved ones. Integrity is what our children teaches us – The integrity to fight for what we believe in, to stand for those who cannot stand for themselves and to show unselfish love for our fellow brothers and sisters in our unique Autism Family!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL
December 22, 2010 at 4:33 pm
There is always hope for your child. Never give up.
February 7, 2011 at 7:48 pm
very true
December 22, 2010 at 10:55 pm
i am the one thaT IS WORKING ON WHAT IT IS TO HAVE THE BLESSING FROM GOD I AM THE ONE THAT IS NOW OUT INTO THE WORLD I HAVE BROKEN THE BAIRER OF THE WEEKNESS AND NOW I HELP THEONES THAT SAY SO MUCH ABOUT ME I AM GIVEN THE GRACE BACK,I HAVE NO SORROW I LOVE LIVE GIVE AND SHARE ILL GIVE IT TO YOU
December 23, 2010 at 10:11 am
The diets (GF/CF) helped a lot. Different therapies made a difference. Finding doctors who will listen and do the testing needed to find out what is going on inside started the most change! Research… Research… Research, the internet was my only friend! When you see the change it is priceless!!
January 9, 2011 at 11:14 pm
Where do you find out about the GF/CF diets?
December 26, 2010 at 11:44 am
Just be thankful for ALL their SMALL strides because for parents with children with Autisum there are no SMALL STIDES. They are all GREAT FEATS!!
December 31, 2010 at 10:12 am
Take one day at a time. You are resposible for your happiness. Our children were sent to us to make us better. You never look at things quiet the same again. I appreciate the little things and learn from my boys. I have twins with autism that are nonverbal and you become much closer to them because you become mind readers. If everyone would tackle their goals with the persistence these children have –WOW what accomplishments they would see!
February 7, 2011 at 7:51 pm
how old are your twins ?? my son did'nt speak a word of english until he was 4yrs old
January 19, 2011 at 4:09 pm
Over the years as the parent of a 19 year old, I have learned to never compare my childs setbacks or accomplishments with other children of Autism; this has allowed me to maintain a healthy outlook on my sons life. There is one rule that my son and I agreed on years ago…that is, he would always offer his best. Academically, I did not allow labels to hinder my expectations of the 'possibilities' nor would I allow his teachers to do so; we all worked collectively as a team to gain accomplishments both big and small. I am a proud mom and is hopelessly in love with my son and all he does.
February 7, 2011 at 7:44 pm
there is always hope for your child. i never thought my son joey would ever be able to do much of anything by himself. my prayers were answered, he's 16yrs old,goes to public school (10th grade), loves art & music. he has a sense of humor,& is on the A/B honor roll for his level. although he makes a lot of noise at home, i'm proud to be his mom. so all you parents that may get discouraged, remember how much your child loves you for being their parent. be strong !! gail
June 23, 2011 at 9:46 pm
Let the brain rest a while. Open the heart and let the heart lead. Shine on!
September 24, 2011 at 9:21 am
This is the most down to earth and true blog I've come across. My child was recently diagnosed and I've been trying to learn whatever I can to help her. Your blog was amazingly encouraging! Thanks so much!

M&A — Best Start to Year Since 2011
It's been a shaky start to the year in the global stock and currency markets, but deal makers don't seem to mind. Companies and funds inked $228.2 billion worth of acquisitions this month, the highest volume of activity since 2011, according to Thomson Reuters.
Going into trading Friday, all three stock indexes were on track to end the month down between 1.3% and 4.4%, and both U.S. and other global markets sank even further Friday.
Deal making volume is up 85% from January 2013 when all three indexes wrapped up January with gains between 4% and 6%. Yet all that could change quickly, and a big start to the year doesn't necessarily translate into a big year for M&A.
By mid-February 2013, it looked like M&A was back in a big way — $40 billion worth of deals were announced on one day that month. Despite a 30% plus pop in stock indexes in 2013, M&A activity ended the year far below the pre-crisis peak years.
Still a big difference so far in 2014 is that overall deal making has been wide and deep — crossing industries and regions. Many of the big deals have been corporations buying up other corporations, and the stock market has mostly applauded buyers for making deals.
The three biggest attempted deals so far this year were: Charter Communications $62.0 billion bid for Time Warner Cable; Suntory's $16.0 bid for Beam; and Liberty Media Group's $11.0 billion offer to purchase Sirius XM Radio.
Cable consolidator John Malone is a key force behind two of the top three global deals and the largest one in the Netherlands. His firm Liberty Global also bid $10.9 billion for Dutch cable provider Ziggo, which pushed European M&A volume to $35.4 billion, up 21%, compared to a year ago and the strongest year for European M&A since 2011, according to Thomson Reuters data.
The winning banks so far? Morgan Stanley takes the top spot for announced global M&A. Credit Suisse is right behind Morgan Stanley. The bank served as an adviser to Lenovo on both of its $2 billion plus bids for U.S. companies in the past two weeks – Motorola Mobility and IBM low-end server business. Behind them: Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and then Citi. J.P. Morgan, typically a powerhouse deal maker, is in the 10th spot.

'The Lego Movie,' 'About Last Night' Lead Presidents Day Weekend Box Office
There were mixed approval ratings at the box office over the long President's Day weekend, with "The Lego Movie" taking the top spot for the second week in a row while a slew of new releases premiered to a range of openings.
One thing is certain: Time Warner's Warner Bros. has a huge hit in "The Lego Movie," which grossed $63.5 million over the four-day weekend for an estimated cumulative haul of $143.8 million in the U.S. and Canada. The movie held extremely well, with its weekend total only 29% lower than its opening-weekend gross. The movie was estimated to gross nearly $15 million on the Monday holiday.
Of the four new wide releases, the Kevin Hart comedy "About Last Night" was the only bona fide winner. The movie from Sony's Screen Gems came in second place with $28.5 million and is the second hit so far this year for Mr. Hart, a stand-up comedian who recently crossed over to film. In fact, he had two movies in the top 10 this weekend: "Ride Along," starring Mr. Hart and Ice Cube, opened in January and has grossed more than $116 million so far.
In third place was "Robocop," the franchise reboot from Sony's Columbia Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures that opened to a so-so $25.6 million. The movie, which the studio said cost nearly $100 million, has performed to better returns overseas, where it's taken in an estimated $70 million.
Comcast's Universal Pictures had less to lose on its weekend release, the teen romance "Endless Love," which grossed $15 million over the four days for fifth place. "The Monuments Men," the World War II drama starring George Clooney and Matt Damon was in fourth place in its second week, grossing $18 million for a total of $46.7 million.
The weekend's flop was "Winter's Tale," a new movie from Warner Bros. starring Colin Farrell as a reincarnating Irish burglar. It failed to find much life, opening to poor reviews and collecting only $8.1 million.

Where to go in Tahoe ??
Hey all, planning a trip to Tahoe to go boarding. Ive obviously heard good things about resorts there, such as Heavenly and Northstar, but other than that dont know much about it there.
So was hoping someone who regulars there or has vacationed there could point me in the right direction.
strong intermediate boarders who enjoy all mountain freestyle, park, bowls, off piste, trees....lol, thats basically everything...but yea, you know
would also like a nice off mountain atmosphere as far as bars and shops and what not, since we might have my parents tagging along just for the scenery and fun. want to stay at a ski in/ski out facility as well.
so any help would be greatly appreciated. specific resorts to stay at, specific areas of mountain to ride, etc, etc
thanks in advance :thumbsup:
I am going to Northstar, Heavenly and Kirkwood this weekend. I'll let you know how it is. :D
Heavenly is great for a photo op. It is huge, you'll ride in two states at once (start in California, stop in Nevada for a beer, head back up for some tree runs through both). But it's wicked crowded and very touristy, and a very spread-out layout. I consider it a must-see for your first trip to Tahoe, but you might never go back after that.
Kirkwood, though, is the tits. It's serious shit. Everything from the drive through the Carson Pass to the trip up to Sentinel Bowl or (I dare you) The Wall, will test your abilities and give you memories that will last forever. Don't miss the back side, The Wave. And don't dismiss the "beginner" areas. Some of the most fun greens and blues you'll ever do, with deep ravines and beautiful glades to play in. If the weather is bad, better make sure you have good tires on your 4x4, and pack a bag. If it snows really hard (which it does a lot at Kirkwood, more so than anyplace else at Tahoe) you might wind up being forced to spend the night. No alternate ways out.
Consider the North Shore/Tahoe City for a more relaxed "California" vibe. For the best in ski-in/ski-out (and to impress the parents) go to Northstar. Not the best riding, but it is a serious tourist resort, complete with a Ritz-Carlton Hotel with chrome gondola, where the lifties place a blanket over you for the ride up. Seriously. Your parents can shop at the mall (yup, this place is like a mall with a ski slope next to it) while you hit "The Stash," Burton's all-wood terrain park. The regular trails aren't awesome, but they're fun. It's much more like a Vermont mountain than anything else at Tahoe; mostly trails cut through the woods, instead of the wide open bowl and chutes of places like Squaw or Alpine or Sugarbowl.
There are a few major resorts on the North Shore all within minutes of each other, including Squaw Valley, which still has the whole Olympic village thing going on. It's got a beautiful mountain-top restaurant/skating rink/swimming pool, and a very nice restaurant. Plus, some of the most varied terrain you'll find, with lots of steeps, bowls, chutes, off piste, you name it. And even views of the lake. Alpine is on the other side of Squaw, and your lift ticket is good for both mountains (although Squaw is so big, you could ride for three days and not be done with it). Alpine is just for serious riding and skiing, because the lodge isn't much to hang out in. But the terrain is awesome.
Probably the prettiest place on the lake is Homewood. It's much smaller than the other mountains, but it is literally right on the lake. Several trails will freak you out, as you feel like you're going to ride right into Lake Tahoe. Bring an extra SD card for your camera...you'll take a TON of photos. And it's cheap. Plus, the parking is easy...it's like pulling off the road into 7-11. Get there early, and you literally park 50 feet from the lift. There are only a couple of greens on the whole mountain, and great glades. Plus "Quail Face" and the 55 Chutes. Steep-ass, wide open bowl. Lots of fun, but takes a hike to get in and out.
If you want another fun drive (which you might do anyway on your way in from Reno), hit up Mt. Rose. Crazy steep chutes, some nice long blacks down the front, beautiful winding blues and greens through the trees, great views of Reno, the valley and the desert, and wicked cheap during the week.
Don't pass up Sugarbowl, either (a drive through the infamous Donner Pass). Chutes, glades, bowls, lots of fun.
Diamond Peak is on the Northeast side. Unless you find a $10 ticket somewhere, skip it. It is beautiful, but gets boring fast. Advertised as the kid's mountain.
Never been to Sierra, but I hear it's fun.
So there you go! Have fun (BTW, check out Shell stations near Reno...they usually offer 2 for 1 Northstar tix with a fill up). Have fun!
damn, he pretty much summed it up.
If you want the ski vacation experience, it's Northstar.
If you want killer terrain, do Squaw and Alpine. Stay at squaw, take a shuttle to alpine if you want a change of scenery. Seriously, you won't get bored at those two resorts for a while.
If your parents are there and want a lot of entertainment, maybe South Lake at Harrahs. No ski in ski out, but there's a Gondola to Heavenly.
:thumbsup:wow surf, thanks for the insanely detailed reply. you def know your way around tahoe!
okay, well, my parents are stupid easy/fun to vacation with. they dont need anything spectacular to entertain them. for example, they went to summit county with us last year, and all they really did was go on a few scenic rides in the suv through the mountains, and chilled in the lil village area at keystone, so they dont really need much entertaining, as long as they have some rum and coke :thumbsup:
so that being said, i really like the sound of staying at squaw and riding the killer terrain. is there ANYTHING there as far as restaurants, bars? or is it literally just a place to go ride? will the lodging be nice? hot tubs?
i think im sold on that idea, once i find out a lil bit more about it specifically. i will start doing some interwebz research. anyone recomend a specific place to stay at squaw?
well damn, just reread the LONG response, and im liking the sound of kirkwood too!! are they at all close to each other? or would it be one or the other type thing?
ahhhhhh....dont know, will do more research and see if anyone chimes in to help me decide, but im thinking its down to either squaw or kirkwood...pls feel free to express your thoughts/opinions on where we should go
okay, so ive already done a little more looking.
looks like both squaw and kirkwood probably have a similar village to keystone, so that should be enough for the parents...am i right about that or way off??
kirkwood does look like it has much SICKER terrain. am i right about that?
surf...whats your thoughts since you seem to be the expert?
now i think im leaning more towards kirkwood, again assuming village area is ample for the parents...
oh and FWIW, im a fully independent, married adult. parents, are like i said, just tagging along for the fun, as we always have fun vacationing with each other. just thought id add that in incase someones misinterpretations wouldve yielded different advice
Squaw's location and village are going to be way more suitable for your parents than Kirkwood. Kirkwood's village is tiny and most everything closes down early, and you are out in the middle of nowhere so they'd have to drive 40 minutes or so just to get to South Lake. Squaw has way more dining and shopping options and still goes strong into the evening/early night. Plus you are just a short drive from Truckee and Tahoe City, which both have a charming mountain town vibe that I'm sure your parents will enjoy. For your situation, I think Squaw is a no-brainer.
Not to mention you are getting access to Alpine Meadows with your lift ticket (free shuttle back and forth), so with all that terrain you really can't go wrong.
unless you're a pro there is no way that squaw/alpine terrain will bore you. I can't compare it to kirkwood but the terrain at both squaw and alpine is incredible. Tree runs, chutes, powder, bowls, cliff drops, steep groomers, mellow groomers, it has it all.Look up some videos of both resorts and you will see. Can't really comment on the village at squaw but there's plenty of shops.
wvbms and chub11 are spot-on. North Lake/Tahoe City has way more in the way of riding. Big, big mountains literally within minutes of each other. And while your parents wouldn't have to hang out at Squaw while you rode the mountain, they could easily take the gondola up for a nice lunch (or the mountain top sunset dinner overlooking Lake Tahoe, which is pretty spectacular), or make a short drive into Truckee, which is a quaint old mining town with lots of nice shoppes and places to stop for a cocktail or cold beer.
The dinner options in Tahoe City are more limited, but the scenery and general atmosphere is much cooler. It's one of those Cali towns where everyone's dog hangs out in their store...wearing a bandana. And if the weather is good, pack your camera and take the drive down 89 to Emerald Bay. Your knuckles will be sore from gripping the steering wheel in fear, but there are state parks and pull offs along the way so you can get some memorable family pics. You won't be disappointed.
If the weather is good, and you have the time, I strongly recommend making the whole drive around the lake. It is mind-blowing beautiful. You drive through neighborhoods of trillion dollar homes, water-front parks where you climb out among the rocks, big cliffs, and even a tunnel carved through the mountain before you get to South Lake, where you can stop for a bite. Time it so you can hit Emerald Bay at sunset on your way home (you DON'T want to drive that road after dark) and your parents will consider you a tour god. You can stand at the top of he cliffs, with waterfall on one side, and a view of Heavenly across the lake on the other side.
Depending upon where you're staying, and the snow conditions, you'll wake up in North Lake to the sound of avalanche control bombs going off. That's your cue to dress warm, pack a Bloody Mary, and head down 89 (W. Lake Blvd) to any number of pull-offs, and watch the sunrise. Get up early enough, and the sky will be crystal clear and blue/orange (never clouds at Tahoe, unless it's snowing). You'll see the clearest sky ever...and then the contrails from the San Francisco plane flights start to make streaks across the sky. It's pretty cool.
On Wednesday evenings in Tahoe City, check out Sunnyside, north of Homewood. They do fresh grilled fish tacos and draft beer. Best apres ski in the area, but get there early...parking can get nutty.
Seriously, though...you didn't say how long you're going to be there. If you're there mid-week, hit up Mt. Rose for 2 for Tuesdays. Homewood any midweek day...it's small, but doesn't feel small. And make a drive to Sugarbowl. You'll get some nice touristy stuff, and a great mountain, too!
I just did a week in Tahoe and spent 2 days each at Heavenly, Northstar and Kirkwood. Kirkwood and Northstar were the best like others have said but it was nice to stay in South Lake and have alot of food/entertainment options at night. We had a car so it was a short hour drive to either Northstar and Kirkwood when we went there. Kirkwood's village is very small but that is also the appeal to it as well as it is not as commercialized as other places.
If you wont have a car and are staying in South Lake you can check out TahoeSkiShuttle.com and they have shuttles a few days a week from South Lake to Northstar and kirkwood for $15 a person roundtrip.
If you get to Kirkwood, definitely ride the wall, its an experience of its own.
I'm going back to Tahoe the last week in Febuary and Cant Wait!!!!

CEE Morning Briefing: Risk Aversion to Weigh on Markets
- Local/GMT
- 1130/1030 Hungary three-month t-bill auction
Concerns over the terms of euro-zone bailouts in Portugal and Cyprus as well as budget woes in the U.S. are likely to weigh on global risk appetite and may result in continued thin trade in the region Tuesday.
Uncertainty on major markets led to below-average trade on Central Europe's exchanges Monday, with a dearth of buyers allowing equity markets to drift lower while fixed-income markets saw few trades and yields remained largely stable.
In the Czech Republic, eyes will be on the country's Constitutional Court, which will now decide whether outgoing President Vaclav Klaus is guilty of treason for alleged abuse of power.
The Czech Senate Monday voted in favor of a motion that requires the high court to review the case.
Mr. Klaus is accused of breaching the country's constitution in several instances, most recently in early January, when he declared a sweeping pardon to thousands of prisoners and individuals suspected of corruption and white-collar crimes.
The development has little direct impact on Czech markets, but could heighten risk aversion to Czech assets. It also comes ahead of Friday's swearing-in of Milos Zeman as President as Mr. Klaus's second and final term in office ends this week.
POLAND: Polish refiner PKN Orlen said Monday it has signed short-term contracts to buy natural gas from five outside suppliers, getting a head start as Poland prepares to partially open its energy market to competition.
CZECH REPUBLIC: The Czech Senate on Monday charged the departing president with treason and petitioned the Constitutional Court to impeach him in connection with a sweeping amnesty that freed a quarter of the country's prison inmates and ended prosecutions of some alleged criminals.
CZECH REPUBLIC: Korean Air Lines said Tuesday it made a bid of "several million dollars" for a 44% stake in the unprofitable Czech Airlines, in its first attempt to invest in another passenger carrier.
HUNGARY: Hungary's new central bank governor rewrote bank rules as economy minister to give himself more power days before taking his new office, fanning fears about institutional independence and the country's future monetary policy.
Gyorgy Matolcsy, who oversaw a series of unconventional economic-policy moves by the Hungarian government, changed the National Bank of Hungary's articles of association to strengthen the governor's control over his three deputies–two of whom were appointed by a previous government–as well as all other central-bank employees.

Oh wow, this looks incredible! My stomach is growling just looking at the cream. I'll have to try the recipe for that!

that is weird that the coconut milk isn't firming up... i use thai kitchen brand too and it usually does so just fine in the fridge... but now that you mention it i haven't done so in a while.. .maybe they did change it. interested to see thoughts from other commenters.

genius. thanks. i don't have to buy mimic cream anymore.

I noticed the same thing with the Thia Coconut Milk. I think they did change something. Are there any other organic coconut milks to try?

I have twice had coconut cream failures! The first time I made coconut cream whip it turned out perfectly, it was so disheartening when subsequent attempts failed. :( I'll have to pick up some agar flakes and give this a try!
- September 22, 2011 at 7:31 PM
- Allysia said...
Oooh, that looks awesome. In the past I've tried working with coconut milk and agar and had a bunch of failures, so this is very reassuring. You're like the light at the end of my whipped topping tunnel.

Would this not be easier if you used coconut cream in a can instead of coconut milk or am I missing something? :)

- Sandra Kohlmann said...
Have you tried Aroy-D coconut milk? That's what I use and the fat part gets very firm in the fridge. Even at room temp, if you don't shake the can well before opening it, there will be a solid half and a thick, but liquid, half. I love it. I have even used the solid portion in place of a portion of margarine in cookie recipes.

This looks fantastic! I'll definitely give this a try!

I have yet to get agar flakes to completely dissolve. I get them almost gone, but always have little 'nubbies' left and have to pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove the remaining agar. Any thoughts as to what I'm doing wrong?
- September 26, 2011 at 7:53 AM
- Jessica said...
I agree that Thai Kitchen must have changed something in their formula. Before, when I opened a can at room temp, there would be a solid layer and a liquid layer...which I loved, because I would always sample a fingerfull off the top before adding to a recipe. :-) It's what made Thai Kitchen my favorite brand. But, the last few times I've bought it, it doesn't seperate at room temp. I wonder if Thai Kitchen realized that peopl actually LIKED the seperation feature...
- September 28, 2011 at 11:45 PM
- VeggieLow said...
christa - i read a tip once in one of Terri Hope Romero's books about using agar powder instead of flakes. works so much better! (although you use much less) - give that a go :)

- Rev. Mommy said...
I used Milli brand and had the same problem. The 'cream' was only thick-ish, like a gravy consistency, and hardly separated from the 'milk' portion. I followed the recipe anyway, and I have it cooling in the fridge now but I'm not confident :-( I will try the Aroy-D next time I think.
- October 9, 2011 at 4:07 PM
- Jen said...
I am having the same problem with Thai Kitchen coconut milk--but only the organic. I put one regular and one organic in the fridge and the organic one was the one that didn't firm up. Although the non-organic one is an older can so maybe it's the original recipe. Also, I'm confused...your recipe says to separate the milk from the cream but how can separate them if the cream doesn't harden?
- November 2, 2011 at 3:33 PM
- precipitate said...
If your coconut milk has guar gum, carrageenan, or any other emulsifier in it, it won't separate. This is sort of nice if you just want to dump it into a curry, but it's not so great if you want the concentrated fatty bits for a specific purpose. Last I checked, Thai Kitchen's coconut milk had guar gum in it.

Today's Justin Bieber crime report includes a positive drug test and new Canadian assault charges.
Bieber's toxicology report from his DUI arrest in Miami Beach two weeks ago shows he tested positive for marijuana and prescription medication, according to TMZ.
Have they considered that maybe the poor kid has glaucoma?
According to the report -- which wasn't officially released but obtained by TMZ nonetheless -- Bieber had a urine test after his arrest on suspicion of drag racing and driving under the influence on Jan. 23. The website said the test came back positive for THC and Alprazolam, which is a key ingredient prescription in the anti-anxiety medication Xanax.
But, to be fair, the report also said Bieber tested negative for cocaine, opiates, meth and other drugs. So he's got that going for him.
According to TMZ, the report is consistent with the police report, which allegedly states Bieber threw his mom under the bus and said she gave him the pills. Bieber also reportedly told police he had been smoking pot in his recording studio all night long.
Bieber has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Speaking of Justin Bieber and charges ... news broke late Wednesday that he was charged with assault in Toronto because he allegedly bashed a limo driver in the back of the head, TMZ said.
I don't think we can explain that one away with Glaucoma.
Toronto police released new details of the Dec. 30 incident. Apparently, a limo driver picked up six passengers -- including Bieber -- around 2:50 a.m. Some sort of fight broke out between the driver and "one of the passengers."
How gangsta!
The passenger was allegedly Bieber, who hit the limo driver in the back of the head "several times" during the fight. When the driver stopped to call police, Bieber fled.
His mom must have run out of Xanax that night.
Bieber turned himself in Wednesday night to face the assault charge. Bieber's lawyer, Howard Weitzman, says he expects this will be treated as a low-level crime -- the equivalent of a misdemeanor is the U.S. Weitzman said, "Our position is Mr. Bieber is innocent."
Of course, it is.
And in news that should surprise no one, Toronto's crack-puffing Mayor Rob Ford called into the Washington, D.C.-based radio show "The Sports Junkies," whose hosts labeled Bieber as "Canada's worst export." He asked them to put it all in perspective by remembering when they were Bieber's age.
Like Rob Ford remembers being 19.
"He's a young guy, 19 years old. I wish I was as successful as he was," Ford said, who added he's never met the singer and is not a fan of his music.
Ford's endorsement carries lots of weight, especially since -- according to Time magazine -- he was recently accused of trying to keep his sister's ex-boyfriend quiet about his past drug use by having him beaten in jail.
I wish I could make this stuff up. I'd be living in a way bigger house.
Last November, Ford admitted to smoking crack cocaine in a "drunken stupor" -- after long-denying the reports -- when a video showing the act surfaced.

HI ALL! I've been running for a year now and I am currently training for my 2nd half marathon. My first half marathon I did intervals of run/walking and was just happy to have finished it. This time I'm running the whole thing and really want to finish in 2:30. I'm not far off from getting there, but I feel like I'm hitting a wall. After this week I will be entering the taper down weeks before my race Nov 11th. Currently since logging longer miles, I feel as though my time just keeps getting slower. I am by no means a fast runner. On average I run around 11-11:30mins per mile on longer runs say over 4-5miles and on shorter runs I can actually get my pace into the 10 mins per mile. Last week I ran 10 miles in 1:57:23.7 and felt pretty good throughout that run. Yesterday, I ran 11 miles in 2:15:00.8 and felt aweful throughout the run almost as though I wouldn't make it, WHY? Feeling discouraged and not sure if its normal for time to decrease the longer miles you log during training or if I'm doing something wrong. I have a feeling I'm not eating properly and therefore not getting enough fuel for good performance. Any tips advice motivation? needing encouragement!
I am in a similar boat as you are... I am training for a half in February. Some days I feel like I struggle through a measly 3 miles and then I have days like yesterday I ran 6 and felt like I could have kept going. I am really struggling with the eating, making sure I get enough food in, while trying not to gain weight while training. It's a hard thing to balance. I also find that I run slower with my longer runs. I am curious to see what other people will say to reply because I could use the helpful advice as well!!
Glad I'm not alone! I know its normal to have off days but I'm sure the difference from run to run has to do with nutrition for the day. I really try and eat a balanced diet but its hard sometimes. I too don't want to overeat and then gain weight so I think I'm not eating enough and therefore my performance is going down. But maybe its just normal to run slower on longer runs the more mileage increases since 11 miles is a new record distance for me. Interested to see what others say!
Any number of things can have an effect. The weather, temperature, wind, even humidity. How much sleep you've been getting and how restful it is. Stresses in your life that may be wearing mentally. Biological cycles (guys too, to some extent). Your health in general. Your hydration in the days leading up to the long run. Other runs in the preceding days. And yes, diet. Try to eat a "normal", balanced diet, somewhat high in carbohydrates.
Thanks Len! you are absolutely right. I will try not to beat myself up over yesterday's long run. I ran a 3 mile easy recovery run today and felt absolutely fantastic compared to yesterday. Finished it in 33:54.7 (11:18 pace per mile). It's very possible I was a bit dehydrated yesterday too or just plain tired worn out.
I'm registered to run my first 1/2 marathon next May in Pittsburgh, so reading your posts here is making me aware of some of the challenges that I will be facing when I start my training. I always thought that your longer runs were supposed to be slower time wise. It can be discouraging when we feel so good on some days and then drag on the other days. Are you using any specific training plan? GOOD LUCK!&

The day before the Michigan primary, candidates made one last effort to get the votes. That includes sending out robocalls, one of which was aimed at attacking Mitt Romney and his opposition to the auto bailout.
"You'd think the call is coming from the UAW Solidarity House or the re-elect Obama campaign," said political analyst Bill Ballenger.
That's what it seemed like, but the call ends with a notification that it was paid for by "Rick Santorum for President." While attacking Romney, the call also openly called on Democrats to vote for Santorum.
This robocall is just one out of a long list of robocalls sent out to Michigan voters. Mark Grebner's company, Practical Political Consulting, compiles voter information and sells it for use in robocalls. For those registered to vote in Michigan, their name will probably appear in Grebner's database of about six million voters.
"The Secretary of State provides a list of all the voters in the state including which elections people have voted in for $30 for the whole state," said Grebner.
Then, it's not difficult for professionals to match information from the Secretary of State with the number of voters' landlines.
"There is of course a consumer 'do not call' list which does not apply to politics," Grebner said.
That means there's not much voters can do to stop the calls.
According to Ballenger, the volume of robocalls sent out is what could make them effective for political candidates. However, Ballenger says it's still up in the air if Santorum's most recent call will help him in the campaign.
"Maybe there will be a backlash that sets in by tomorrow and maybe that will end up hurting Santorum rather than helping him. We don't know," Ballenger said.

Two strangers, young men from Pennsylvania and South Carolina, meet on the way to West Point.... Thus begins this brilliant novel of antebellum America, spanning three generations and chronicling the lives and loves of two great family dynasties. The Hazards and the Mains are brought together in bonds of friendship and affection that neither jealousy nor violence can shatter - until a storm of events sunders the nation and brings the cataclysm of war!
©1982 John Jakes (P)2012 Audible, Inc.
Loyal member since 1998
"Captivating novel of the Civil War"
North and South is the first novel in John Jakes' trilogy of the American Civil War. This first book tells the story of the close friendship the develops between George Hazard Of Pennsylvania and Orry Main of South Carolina. Hazard belongs to the industrial class of the mighty North, while Main is a member of the Southern caste of slave holding plantation owners. The backgrounds of these two men are fraught with seemingly insurmountable differences. Despite this, Main and Hazard become close friends during their time at West Point, as well during their service in the Mexican American war. After that conflict the two friends are followed throughout the tumultuous 1850's, right up to the firing on Fort Sumter and the start of the Civil War. The tragedy of the Civil War is magnified as these two intimate companions choose sides, wish each other luck, and go to war.
Over the last 25 years I have read this trilogy three times and I have been waiting very impatiently for an audio version. And it has arrived in all it's glory. Having the superb Grover Gardner narrate is simply icing on a three layer cake.
"Entertaining pop history"
I enjoyed this pre-Civil War novel. The stories of the characters are interwoven well with the history of the time. It took me a while before I connected with the characters, but the novel grew on me as it progressed. Love, rivalry, revenge, and slavery are big parts of this story of connections between people in the North and the South. Two families are bound by a deep friendship between West Point cadets, and the drama follows from there. The characters are a little black and white, with the bad people truly despicable and the good people almost all good. But Jakes did successfully get me rooting for the good guys and hating the bad guys. While it felt a bit manipulative at times, I let it happen and enjoyed the listen. The story has a good number of characters and subplots, and is wrapped smartly into a cohesive whole. The history was more believable than the characters. I rarely read or listen to a sequel right away, but I have already bought the sequel to this and will listen to it next. The reader is solid and well suited to this story.
Live on edge of National Forest with lake, birds & wild animals. No more perfect place to indulge life-long love of reading.
"The Undigestible Lump of Slavery"
During Jakes research, he read Bruce Catton's civil war studies and came across the above quote and referenced it in his afterword. I was struck by its unusually apt descriptiveness and therefore used it as my review headline.
There are many wonderful things about this book: it's well researched, richly panoramic, excellently narrated and beautifully written. It is very easy to feel you know the main characters as they grow and experience life. They're well rounded and quite human in all aspects. The growing political and civil unrest in this period of our country's development is described such that you also get a quite tasty history lesson along with the characters' storylines.
There are however several characters (4 of whom are primary to the story) that are truly sadistic bullies. Their sheer meanness is predominantly against other whites and not aimed at the slave population. I came to believe that this was true because the slaves were "property" and therefore not seen as a logical target of enmity. These cruel characters were so despicable that I questioned why they were necessary to the overall story arc. I would have understood 1 or 2 ... but 4?? Therefore my 4 star rating for the story.
I will get the other 2 books of this trilogy immediately. The series is well worth your time and credits.
I'm a mom. I have drama in my life. I don't want books with the F-bomb, nor graphic violence. I read for fun and to bring my family together. I read for reducing stress levels. We have never had a television in our home and our children are now mid twenties to 19. We listen together and look for belly-wrenching laughter. So what is it like to live without a TV? Awesomely educational and inspirational. Each new book is a marvel.
"Narration is exceptional!"
YES! I enjoyed these books when they were published. I wanted to re-read them and this was an enjoyable way to review the story. Grover Gardner is exceptional. His voice is smooth and melodious. I really enjoyed this again.
Remembering the characters.
Superb! I love the books he narrates.
Passions regarding slavery.
The story is very long and will require some adjustments to fit in the time. You will not want to get only an hour in each day. Look over your schedule and start this when you can commit some time because it will draw you in, sleep will be pushed to the bottom of the list so you can listen more.
I just achieved App Master!! I never thought I would make it this far!! Thanks Audible
"Great story,great book,great narrater!!!!"
Im glad they redid the North and South books..I've already bought the old DVD series with Patrick Swayze, I bought the preorder of book two,i cant wait to start it..With all the true events of the civil war and the that time John Jakes does a great job putting two families from different walks together.. The love and hate the two families have for each other will test the times..And it wont be easy,this is a must read...
Reading, the arts and physical activity clarify, explain, illustrate, and interpret life's goods and bads.
"Where America Once Existed"
North and South takes the reader on a tour of the animosities and misunderstandings that rose in the United States South, North and West, during the pre-Civil War years. Precisely the preceding twenty year period leading to the attempted breakup of the Union in 1860/61. The author John Jakes does this by telling a wonderful story centered on the friendship that builds between two West Point Cadets and their families. One family from Pennsylvania and the other from South Carolina. One a steel manufacturing family the other a rice growing plantation clan. The story is an – "I cannot put it down for a minute." Found myself sneaking little moments out of the day to listen to a few more episodes of the plot. Notwithstanding the good story, it is a true awakening to the attitudes of the citizenry of our nation in the lead up to the rebellion. The attitude that John Jakes portrays is generally pitiful. We may have been an emerging great nation but our populace, generally, were pathetic.
This is a wonderful way to consider an epoch time in our past. It is one volume of a three part trilogy; before the war, during the war and after the war. North and South is Book One. This book provides a new methodology for Civil War students to consider the tragedy of the War Between the States. It is a worthwhile read and an intriguing read? Lincoln plays just about no part in this story it is a tale of the people their ethics and anticipations.
Fiction: I like Paranormal, Young Adult, Historical, Fantasy, Romance, Classics. Non-Fiction: I like Historical, Military, Memoirs.
"Gripping drama for historical fiction fans"
North and South has been sitting in my Audible library for a couple years. I have no idea why it took me so long to listen to it, but once I finally started, I could not stop. At more than 30 hours, it's impossible to listen to it in one sitting, but I wish I could have. I stayed up well into the early morning hours on more than one occasion because I just couldn't turn it off. I found myself talking back to the narrator and yelling at my iPod because of all the dramatic twists and turns, the evil scheming, and the sheer desire for the protagonists to triumph.
I loved the attention to historical detail and the use of real historical figures as minor characters in the story line. Even the Afterword, in which the author talked about his research and the writing process, was interesting to me.
The narrator was superb, especially his voice for Orry. I could easily distinguish when Orry was speaking, even when in conversation with other South Carolina characters.
Five stars, all around. * * * * *

"Worth 5$"
This book kept popping up in my recommendations list - in both Audible and Goodreads so when it came on sale for 5$ I took the plunge.
Sale aside, the reason I didn't read it sooner is because I am not really all that interested in the American Civil War, but since epic family sagas tend to be engaging - I dove in.
As I suspected, the war parts bored me and the family drama entertained me.
I have books 2 and 3 in my wish list so I can be advised if ever they too come on sale for 5$. At that price it's worth the diversion
"The two most important days of your life are the day you were born and the day you find out why" Mark Twain
"John Jakes is one of the best"
What can I say about this book and it's author that haven't already been said?
The North and South series is fantastic. It's the story of two families intertwined by friendship, love, and marriage; separated by being "northerners" and "southerners", and ultimately by civil war.
I couldn't help but love the characters. They are well developed and intertwined, but not in such a way that would make the book confusing. John Jakes is the PG-13 version of Ken Follett - just enough to keep the story interesting, but not enough to make it pornographic. Those who have read both authors know what I'm talking about.
Its hard to imagine what life would have been like living during the civil war period. Your friends - and even some of your family - suddenly your "enemies", all because of the evil ideology of slavery, corrupted power structures, culture, and simple geography. The veins of slavery ran deep enough to turn a nation against itself, resulting in hundreds of thousands dead. It's books like this that help you see the victims on both sides.
Aussie truckie, on the long haul!
"North and South"
Great book. Held my attention all the way through, so it deserves a minimum of 4 out of 5 just for that. Nothing entertains me more, than learning about different countries histories through fictional characters, set in non fictional events. And this is a great story set in the civil war, which has eluded me for some time. I'll definitely listen to the sequels to this book.
"Interesting characters in interesting times"
A thought provoking characterisation of two families fighting to keep their friendships alive while their country tears itself apart. Looking forward to the next 2 books.
