To evaluate fine needle aspiration of enlarged lymph nodes in children.
Retrospective study of children who were referred for fine needle aspiration of a palpable lymph node that was of concern to their clinicians.
Large, urban, tertiary care pediatric hospital.
One hundred nineteen patients (123 cases) aged 10 months through 21 years during the 30-month period from January 1990 to June 1992.
Aspirated material in 13 cases (10.6%) was deemed inadequate for cytologic diagnosis. In the remaining 110 cases, five aspirates revealed malignancy: two patients had Hodgkin's disease, one had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, one had a leukemic infiltrate, and one had rhabdomyosarcoma. The findings in two cases were suspicious for malignancy, but the lymph nodes were found to be benign on excisional biopsy. No false-negative findings for malignancy were detected. The conditions of patients in the remaining 103 cases were diagnosed as a benign process, most commonly reactive lymphadenitis. Of 57 aspirates cultured, eight (14%) were positive for a microorganism. No significant complications were encountered in any of the 123 cases.
Fine needle aspiration of enlarged lymph nodes in children is a safe, reliable (accuracy, 98%) procedure that often obviates the need for an excisional biopsy.(Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 1994;148:1327-1330)

There's probably only one college president who had to hightail it to his car a few seconds ahead of a pack of irate fans after umpiring an American Legion baseball game.
There can't be more than one who's had tobacco juice spot his shirt from an upset coach, who was a local weekend weatherman for 19 years, who's spent 20-plus years as the public address announcer at Amarillo High baseball games.
And for sure, there's only one who worked the 6 to 10 a.m. shift at radio station KGTN, the voice of Williamson County, and was heard to say, "Let's visit Gin from Gold's Department Store on the square in Georgetown," or "It's time now for the Round Rock news with Nancy Rabb."
That list is short: It begins and ends with Paul Matney, who announced his retirement last week as president of Amarillo College.
He was not and never has been the high-brow ivory tower academian. "Boy, I hope not," he said.
What he was though was an effective and efficient president for six years, the culmination of 35 years at AC. He was the right fit for a community college whose mission he fervently believed in, an ambassador who touted AC's message to any who would listen and a few who wouldn't.
This Everyman became The Man at Amarillo College. "The board of regents took a real gamble on me," Matney said. "They knew I loved AC and I knew AC, but becoming president was never on my radar screen."
Perhaps the position sought him more than he sought the position. It was sort of like how his teaching career began, one that took him away from his original goal of being a radio/TV news director or anchor while studying at the University of Texas.
It was 1971. Matney returned to his hometown of Amarillo to pursue his master's degree down the road at West Texas State (now West Texas A&M University). Just 22, he was a new teaching assistant in speech communication.
"So my department chair gave me the roll sheet, a textbook, pointed me in the direction of the class and said, 'See you in December,'" he said. "I had no idea what I was doing, and thought, 'What have I got myself into?' But that's how I fell in love with teaching."
Eight years later, he found himself at AC as an instructor in mass communications. From there, it was a division chairman, a full professor, obtaining his doctorate at Texas Tech, associate vice president, a vice president.
With the illness of Dr. Steven Jones, Matney, who went to AC as a freshman in 1967-68, became interim president. Following Jones' death, he became AC's president in July 2009.
"Paul has that ability to make everyone feel important and want to please him," said Mark White, AC's general counsel. "In any job that's terribly important.
"That's why he can be so effective as a college president. He makes you feel more important than he is, and a lot gets accomplished."
He is probably the only rabid UT fan — he's a longtime Longhorn football season ticket holder — liked by Aggies, Red Raiders, Sooners and Bears, and the only lifelong Democrat liked by tea party Republicans.
He played a key role in the passing of a $68 million bond issue in 2007 that gave AC new nursing, dental and science facilities.
Matney excelled at the key roles of a community college president — focusing educationally on AC students meeting the needs of the Amarillo workforce, acting as a conservative steward of taxpayer money, working with the Texas legislature in funding and anticipating funding, and surrounding himself with effective workers.
"I was always impressed with his ability to roll up his sleeves and understand what was happening," White said.
For many in Amarillo, their introduction to Matney might have been talk of a low pressure system on the move as weekend weatherman at KVII and KAMR from 1972 to 1991, a job he loved.
Second to family and AC might have been his love of baseball. His office is decorated with baseball memorabilia. For 17 years, he umpired high school baseball, and called a few games as an alternate in the AA Texas League, where he was once colorfully cussed out in Spanish by the manager of the San Antonio Missions.
And he has continued — and will continue — to be the public address baseball announcer for his alma mater, Amarillo High, and share PA address football duties at Dick Bivins Stadium.
"Everybody needs to have friends and activities that don't relate to work," Matney said.
But in a way, all of that has fit Matney's personality as a people person, a president who liked nothing more than to slip away and talk to students on campus about their futures and background, a president who cherished unexpected visits from former students.
"But AC has done so much more for me than I ever did for AC," he said.
As a baseball fan, Matney has attended his share of Sox games at Potter Memorial Stadium. He found himself often staring at the AC billboard in left centerfield, the one that says, "Start here, go anywhere."
"I see that and know how well we've fulfilled that over the years," he said, "and it's one of the reasons I just never wanted to leave."

Benefits For the Planet
Americans make, move and use 34 million rolls of toilet paper, everyday. The problem is not just the 54 million trees cut each year to keep up with demand but also the enormous amounts of water, chemicals and energy used in the destructive production process of toilet paper.
Don't take our word for it. The graphic below depicts the real results of a 2008 Lifecycle Inventory (LCI) Study by Franklin & Associates comparing normal toilet paper use to that with a Swash bidet toilet seat.
What's all the fuss over a little toilet paper?
Look at the graphic again, really read the statistics. Did we mention this is for one day? One day! The magnitude of the carbon footprint of toilet paper is absolutely stunning and unnecessary.
What's the good news?
A Swash bidet toilet seat dramatically reduces the amount of toilet paper you use. What's dramatic? How about a 75 to 100% reduction in toilet paper. Now, go back to that graphic and reduce the stats by 75%. Is that an easy way to have a significant environmental impact or what?
What about water you ask? The Swash actually uses less water than the toilet paper production process so you are even saving water as well. Ahhh, it is so nice (and easy!) being green with the Swash...

Since retiring from my teaching career I've discovered that there is life outside of the classroom! I spend parts of most of my days indulging in my favorite hobbies of quilting and sewing. I started designing patterns as an experiment, and no one was more surprised than I was to find that other people liked my little designs. I try to write my patterns in such a way that beginning quilters can follow them. I include lots of details, photos, and little informative notes, so even if they look complicated, the instructions should be easy to follow.

I needed a stocking stuffer for my teenage grandson, and finding a masculine mug rug pattern can be a bit of a trick. The colors and theme of this one should appeal to any football fan, whether male or female.
This mug rug whips up quickly with very simple paper foundation piecing and a quickly fused football applique. Easy zigzag stitching around the applique pieces, a bit of embroidery for the laces, and it's done!
Toss this on a desk for a bit of color and fun, or place it on a table in front of the TV. Top it with a snack and something to drink, lean back and enjoy the game.
The pattern contains full size templates for the football, a photocopy of the layout, and a full size paper piecing pattern. Instructions are clear and accompanied by photographs.
Instructions for paper piecing are not included. If you are unfamiliar with this piecing technique you can find numerous tutorials online.

SPRINGFIELD – The city will receive $2.1 million in federal funds to help pay for temporary classrooms at the Elias Brookings elementary school, officials announced Wednesday.
The funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency will cover part of the estimated $7 million leasing costs for two large, prefab buildings set up at Brookings following the June 1 tornadoes.
The school suffered extensive damage from the first tornado, rendering it unsafe and unusable; to reopen for classes late summer, the city leased two temporary buildings that were installed behind the school, and expects to use them for the next school year as well.
The $2.1 funding was announced by U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield and U.S. Senators John F. Kerry, D-Mass. and Scott Brown, R-Mass.
Kerry said the money will help rebuild areas that suffered some of the worst damage from the tornadoes.
"Walking those streets a few hours after the tornadoes cut their path through the area, I saw what looked like a war zone," said Kerry.
"I spoke to a lot of people even that night who worried that Western Massachusetts would be forgotten when the destruction faded from public view. We refused to let that happen," he added.
Neal and Brown both said additional reimbursements are expected in coming months.
"Our work is not finished," Neal said.
Mayor Domenic J. Sarno said the reimbursement was a welcome sign that the flow of state and federal disaster assistance is speeding up; by city estimates, $101 million will be needed to rebuild from the storms, with nearly all the costs expected to be picked up by state and federal funding sources.
School Superintendent Alan J. Ingram said the money will help restore a sense of normalcy for students at Brookings.
"We are grateful for the leadership our senators and congressman have exhibited," Ingram said. "We're working hard to make sure (the students) will once again have a permanent school."

The room was on the fourth floor, and the door was locked - with the key on the inside. The windows were closed and fastened - on the inside. The chimney was too narrow for a cat to get through. So how did the murderer escape? And whose were the two angry voices heard by the neighbours as they ran up the stairs? Nobody in Paris could find any answers to this mystery. Except Auguste Dupin, who could see further and think more clearly than other people. The answers to the mystery were all there, but only a clever man could see them. 'The Murders in the Rue Morgue' by Edgar Allan Poe is widely considered to be the first true detective story.
56 pages, with a reading time of ~1.0 hour (14,000 words), and first published in 1841. This DRM-Free edition published by epubBooks, 2011.

The mental features discoursed of as the analytical, are, in themselves, but little susceptible of analysis. We appreciate them only in their effects. We know of them, among other things, that they are always to their possessor, when inordinately possessed, a source of the liveliest enjoyment. As the strong man exults in his physical ability, delighting in such exercises as call his muscles into action, so glories the analyst in that moral activity which disentangles. He derives pleasure from even the most trivial occupations bringing his talent into play. He is fond of enigmas, of conundrums, of hieroglyphics; exhibiting in his solutions of each a degree of acumen which appears to the ordinary apprehension præternatural. His results, brought about by the very soul and essence of method, have, in truth, the whole air of intuition.

Maurice Edu and Kyle Beckerman traded late goals, with Edu's header providing the equalizer as the Philadelphia Union and Real Salt Lake finished 2-2 at PPL Park.
Beckerman delivered an 85th minute strike to give a short-handed RSL side a 2-1 lead, but the Union pulled off the comeback just five minutes later when Maurice Edu headed home a Cristian Maidana pass in the 90th minute to help Philadelphia salvage a draw.
The late goal surrendered to Beckerman marked the fourth time in six matches that the Union have given up a goal in the 80th minute or later, a trend that has cost the Union points during what has been an otherwise solid start to the 2014 season.
Real Salt Lake jumped out to an early lead courtesy of a Luke Mulholland goal in the sixth minute. Zac MacMath saved an Alvaro Saborio penalty kick, but the rebound fell to Mulholland, who slipped past the Union defense and snuck a quick shot under MacMath to make the score 1-0.
RSL nearly made it 2-0 before MacMath stepped up with a handful of key first half saves that kept the Union in the match.
The Union responded with a better second half, and found a 55th-minute equalizer courtesy of newly-acquired forward Andrew Wenger, who collected a beautiful pass from Vincent Nogueira and finished past Jeff Attinella for his first goal since being acquired from the Montreal Impact in exchange for Jack McInerney.
The Union enjoyed the better of the play after Wenger's goal, but couldn't find an insurance goal.Philadelphia's defense failed to hold the lead though, as the team's latest late-game meltdown watched Beckerman receive a ball from Javier Morales in the penalty area and blast a low shot past MacMath to make the score 2-1 in the 85th minute.
Philadelphia appeared ready to surrender a home loss before Edu responded with his second goal in as many matches, heading home a Maidana pass to make the final score 2-2.
RSL will be content with the draw after having to play without injured regulars Nick Rimando and Luis Gil. For the Union, the latest late goal allowed is cause for concern, but the way the team responded to Beckerman's tally should give the team some confidence heading into an important Eastern Conference clash against the New York Red Bulls on Wednesday.

Those wondering why the NCAA hasn't been more eager to bring a case against North Carolina regarding academic irregularities might be placated—or perhaps energized—by the decision of a grand jury to indict the faculty member considered to be at the core of the controversy.
Julius Nyang'oro, the former chair of North Carolina's African studies department, was indicted by an Orange County (N.C.) grand jury on a felony count of "obtaining property by false pretenses" in regards to allegedly accepting a $12,000 fee for a class he did not teach.
The (Raleigh) News & Observer's Dan Kane reported Tuesday that the charge is considered a lower-level felony and that Nyang'oro, 59, would not likely serve jail time if convicted.
According to Kane's report, an internal examination of alleged academic fraud at UNC reached as far back as the 1990s, with more than 200 courses supposedly offered as lecture classes that either were believed or confirmed to have not gathered. Instead, papers were assigned to the students, and an average grade of B-plus was issued despite minimal evidence the papers were being graded.
The N&O reported athletes made up 45 percent of the students in these classes despite composing only five percent of the student body. The greatest number of these athletes were football players, although there also were basketball players enrolled.
UNC's report concluded the classes were not designed to aid athletics, reasoning that non-athletes also were involved. The internal investigation reported there was no evidence athletes were directed by athletic administrators to suspect classes.
However, the newspaper reported correspondence involving the athletic department's academic support service "showed counselors there knew the classes didn't meet and weren't challenging. The counselors steered academically-challenged freshmen football players into one such class, which was listed in a course catalog as a seminar for seniors majoring in African studies."
The class for which Nyang'oro is under indictment involved 19 students, 18 of whom were football players.
"The allegation is that he was paid to teach a face-to-face, lecture-style class and he accepted and kept $12,000 for that, when in fact he didn't teach that class in a face-to-face, lecture-style manner," Orange County D.A. Jim Woodall said, according to the N&O.
UNC later recovered the $12,000 by withdrawing it from Nyang'oro's pay. He resigned from the chairmanship in August 2011, not long after the university began looking into the classes, and retired 10 months later.

TOKYO April 13, 2012: Japan Airlines (JAL) has applied to the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) to revise its international cargo fuel surcharge for flights departing from Japan only from May 2012.
Since April 1, 2009, JAL started adjusting its cargo fuel surcharge levels on a monthly basis by using the one-month average fuel price of Singaporekerosene of the month before last. As the average fuel price of Singapore kerosene for the month of March in 2012 was US$136.12 per barrel, the benchmark fuel price used for calculation of the fuel surcharge level will be within the range of US$135.00 to US$139.99 per barrel (refer to table below).
The international cargo fuel surcharge will therefore be 137 yen per kg on long-haul international routes, 108 yen per kg on medium-haul international routes, and 84 yen on short-haul routes.

Q: Ive got this plant growing in the yard that I thought was a sunflower at first. The leaves are big, but it has these crown-like pods that open up with small yellow flowers. Any idea what it is? I didnt plant it.
A: Sounds like velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti). This is an upright annual weed that grows 3 to 4 feet tall and looks a little like a sunflower in the early going. But as it grows, it starts to look more like a mini maple tree with large leaves that are velvety in texture, which is where the common name comes from.
Velvetleaf puts out the kind of pods you describe this time of year, and the pods open to show small yellow flowers definitely much smaller than sunflowers. This plant does reseed pretty readily, so you might want to yank it before any flowers mature and produce new seed. The good news is that despite the imposing size, it does pull out fairly easily.

PLANO, Texas -- Graduation day has become one of the main targets on religious liberties. While grateful seniors want to thank God, administrators worry they might violate so-called separation of church and state so it's increasingly important to know how to handle the situation.
As high schools nationwide get ready for graduation ceremonies, some seniors may face threats or lawsuits if they mention God or their faith during graduation speeches. But the message from attorney Jeff Mateer is "don't be afraid."
"Any student who's been asked to speak at graduation should know this: the school district cannot tell them not to mention their religious faith," Mateer, general counsel for Liberty Institute, told CBN News.
In 2011, a judge threatened to throw valedictorian Angela Hildenbrand in jail.
"The court's order said there could be incarceration if anyone mentioned Jesus or said 'amen' during any of the speeches," Liberty Institute attorney Justin Butterfield said, but a federal appeals court disagreed. "The Fifth Circuit said 'No, it's okay for her to do that,'" Butterfield explained. "It's her private student speech and she's allowed to say whatever she wants and you can't discriminate against her message just because it's religious."
Hildenbrand concluded her valedictorian speech just as she'd planned. "I thank You for Your great love for us and for our great nation where we are free. And it's in Jesus's name I pray. Amen," Hildenbrand said to a resounding "amen" by the audience.
Mateer says schools and school districts need to back off students who share their faith. "They can't tell them to pray or not to pray," he said. "They can't tell them to mention Jesus or not mention Jesus."
If students are threatened, Mateer recommends they contact groups like the American Center for Law and Justice or Liberty Institute "because we will fight for them." "There are a lot of these situations that look really bad, but when Christians stand up and fight for what they believe in, fight for the truth, we win in the courts," Butterfield said. "And a lot of the reason that we've lost so much ground is just because Christians haven't been willing to fight." "The founders recognized that we needed a vibrant religious life," Mateer added. "And that didn't mean just keeping it in our homes. It meant it being active in public."
Liberty Institute, headquartered in Texas, has been involved in enough graduation cases to assure students that neither their schools nor school districts can prevent them from mentioning God, Jesus or any other religious matter in their graduation speeches.
They do not lose their religious rights when they walk through their school's door.

For more than 2 decades, most of the medical community in the United States has stood by while the rest of the medical world, including our close neighbor Canada, moved from use of older conventional metric units to the coherent system of metric units officially titled le Système international d'Unités (International System of Units), widely known as the SI. Some SI units, such as the kilogram, were being used in American medicine, particularly in clinical research, but the most frequently reported clinical measurements—those for chemical and hematologic quantities—continued to be reported in non-SI metric units.

Despite all of the publicity surrounding the Ray Rice case and outrage that forced NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to overhaul the league's domestic violence policy, another football player allegedly has assaulted a woman.
San Francisco 49ers defensive end Ray McDonald was arrested Sunday morning and charged with felony domestic violence, San Jose police said. McDonald posted $25,000 bail and was released from jail about six hours after he was booked, according to a report by NBC Bay Area.
The Sacramento Bee reported that McDonald, who was celebrating his birthday, was involved in an argument with his fiancee, who had bruises on her arms and neck. She is pregnant, the report said. The report said teammates Vernon Davis and Demarcus Dobbs were present.
McDonald, 29, was arrested just before 3 a.m. at a San Jose residence , police said via the department's official Twitter account. He was released about six hours later. McDonald has a court date of Sept. 15, the day after the Niners play a home game on Sunday night game against the Chicago Bears.
"The 49ers organization is aware of the recent reports regarding Ray McDonald and we take such matters seriously," the 49ers said in a statement Sunday morning. "As we continue to gather the facts, we will reserve further comment."
Coach Jim Harbaugh has warned 49ers players that domestic violence would not be tolerated.
"He said that we can do anything in the world and we can come and talk to him and he'll forgive us -- except put our hands on women," former 49ers safety Donte Whitner said in 2012. "If you put your hands on a woman, then you're done in his book."
Under the NFL's new policy -- enacted when Goodell admitted he screwed up by suspending Rice for only two games -- a first offense would result in a six-game suspension. A second domestic violence violation would lead to an indefinite ban of at least a year.

Emails show prosecutors closely monitored director
American prosecutors closely monitored Roman Polanski in Austria and considered seeking his arrest there days before the director's apprehension in Switzerland, documents obtained by The Associated Press show.
Los Angeles officials decided against filing a warrant for Polanski's arrest with the Austrian government after questioning how accommodating it would be to an extradition request. They also were concerned about the limited time available before Polanski left the country, according to e-mails obtained by the AP under U.S. public records request.
The e-mail exchange Sept. 23 came three days before Polanski traveled to Switzerland and was arrested Sept. 26 at Zurich's airport. It sheds new light on how closely U.S. officials were monitoring the 76-year-old director's movements after being tipped off that he was outside France, and why they chose to go after him in Switzerland, where they are now seeking his extradition for having sex in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl.
"I don't have experience with any Austrian extraditions so I don't know how 'friendly' they would be to extradition on such a case," Diana Carbajal, a Los Angeles deputy district attorney, wrote in an e-mail.
She wrote that Polanski had checked out of an Austrian hotel that morning and was "on the move" ahead of his scheduled appearance at the Zurich Film Festival on Sept. 26. With the little time available and questions over extradition, she asked whether it was better to "maintain our position to extradite from Switzerland."
Lael Rubin, another deputy district attorney, answered: "Yes."
Polanski had been in Austria as early as Sept. 16, when he attended the opening night of his cult musical "Dance of the Vampires" in Vienna.
E-mails obtained by the AP show U.S. officials only learned of his upcoming trip to Zurich after the Swiss asked if Washington would be submitting a request for his arrest.
Swiss Justice Ministry spokesman Folco Galli said the Americans immediately confirmed they would seek Polanski's arrest. As a result, Switzerland was required by treaty to apprehend Polanski, the director of such film classics as "Rosemary's Baby" and "Chinatown."
It is unclear from the e-mails why Los Angeles officials were concerned about Austrian cooperation on a Polanski extradition request. There was no reference to Polanski's history as a Jewish Holocaust survivor whose mother died in Auschwitz, or the sensitivities about having him pursued in the land of Adolf Hitler's birth.
Austria and the United States have an extradition agreement, and the Vienna prosecutor's spokesman Gerhard Jarosch said wanted individuals have been sent to the U.S.
Jarosch said the U.S. sent no arrest request, and Austrian Justice Ministry spokesman Paul Hefelle said authorities did not detain Polanski while he was in the country because he was not wanted domestically.
Still, U.S. officials expressed stronger confidence in the Swiss justice system.
"Generally, Switzerland does not release fugitives sought for extradition," a Sept. 25 e-mail states.
Later, on Oct. 5, nine days into Polanski's imprisonment, another e-mail states that the Swiss government had assured U.S. officials that Polanski would probably be sent back to Los Angeles to face justice after the U.S. submits its formal extradition request. The U.S. has until Nov. 26 to do so.
"While the Swiss officials cannot speak for the judge, the extradition will likely be ordered based upon the facts submitted in our papers," according to the e-mail, relaying a conversation between Washington and Bern.
Polanski, who won a 2003 directing Oscar in absentia for "The Pianist," was accused of raping the 13-year-old girl after plying her with champagne and a Quaalude pill during a modeling shoot in 1977. He was initially indicted on six felony counts, including rape by use of drugs, child molesting and sodomy.
Polanski pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of unlawful sexual intercourse. In exchange, the judge agreed to drop the remaining charges and sentence him to prison for a 90-day psychiatric evaluation. Polanski was released after 42 days by an evaluator but the judge said he was going to send him back to serve the remainder of the 90 days. Polanski then fled the country on Feb. 1, 1978, the day he was to be sentenced.
A French native who moved to Poland as a child, Polanski has lived in France since fleeing the United States. France does not extradite its citizens.
On Wednesday, Polanski's lawyers split on strategies, with one suggesting for the first time that Polanski might voluntarily return to the U.S. to face justice in California after 31 years as a fugitive.
The new approach emerged after a Swiss court dealt the 76-year-old filmmaker a major setback on Tuesday by rejecting his appeal to be freed from jail because of the high risk he would flee again. Polanski, who has until Oct. 29 to appeal that decision, faces lengthy detention if he is unsuccessful and continues to fight extradition.
"If the proceedings drag on, it's not completely impossible that Roman Polanski might decide to go explain himself in the United States, where there are arguments in his favor," one of his lawyers, Georges Kiejman, told Europe 1 radio.
But another Paris-based lawyer for Polanski said there had been no change in strategy.
"We continue to fight extradition, and for him to be free," Herve Temime told the AP.

Britain needs nuclear power. The deal announced by the Government yesterday to build this country's first new nuclear station in a generation, at Hinkley Point in Somerset, is belated and welcome. Critics of the plan raise a legitimate concern about its financial terms yet the arrangements are, in practice, about as good as this country's consumers of energy could reasonably expect. They might have been better had the previous Labour Government acted on the case for nuclear power from the outset. It did not and its inconstancy has had a price.
No one can accuse the Lib-Con coalition of acting

A computer comes with either DOS and Windows or Windows 95 preinstalled. Just turn the machine on, and they appear. Laptops will hibernate, then start up again the next day exactly where you left off. If disaster strikes and the disk is lost, reinstalling DOS and Windows is not a very complicated process.
An advanced user may add Windows NT, OS/2, or Linux to the machine. With enough disk space it is possible to have all of these operating systems on the same machine. If you are in the Beta program, Microsoft will send advanced copies of various operating systems that also have to be installed somewhere. Each system comes with fairly good instructions for installing it alone, or in combination with Plain Old DOS. None of the documents tie all the systems together, and nobody ever bothers to tell you how to remove the damn thing when you have given up on it.
At some point you have to stop playing around with systems and get some real work done. Generally, this involves running some Suite of Windows programs (Microsoft Office, Lotus Smart Suite, WordPerfect, ...). All of these operating systems will run all of these programs. However, the typical Windows suite dumps up to 40 megabytes of trash in the "Windows System Directory Tree". This includes TrueType Fonts, filters, DLLs, clipart, and other junk. Then they add a zillion lines of OLE, DDE, and other stuff to WIN.INI. If you are keeping multiple copies of Windows around, one for each system, then keeping things straight can be nearly impossible.
Das Boot is The Mother of all Pre-Installation Manuals. Actually, it gets things started and leaves off at the point where the real installation manual should kick in and prove useful. It will help to clarify the initial planning. It carries things through the point where you define or select a partition. It also explains the boot sequences of multiple operating systems, the hidden files, and boot managers.
When done, we will have accumulated a collection of boots that would make Imelda Marcos envious. Click on a section to proceed(starting at the beginning is a good idea):

Dan Hartman
Trained in classical music and renowned for playing bass and singing on the Edgar Winter Group's Free Ride, singer/songwriter/pianist Hartman is now afloat on his own at 30. This, his fourth solo effort, shows an eclectic taste that ranges from sensitive, James Taylorish ballads to rhythmic rockers. It can't hurt to have worked with such diverse artists as Foghat, Neil Sedaka and Muddy Waters at the Schoolhouse, the Connecticut recording studio he owns. His rendition of the frothy pop title tune does little to improve on the 1964 original recorded by at least seven artists, though. Sensitive singers, the genre in which Hartman belongs, are abundant, but his agility is refreshing.

Cleo, John and All That Jazz
John is Britain's preeminent jazz artist and a notable composer of movie scores (Darling, Morgan, The Servant). Cleo is the Holiday-Garland-cum-Lenya of Britain, but until last year was appreciated in the States only by critics, cultists and other musicians. Reviewer Leonard Feather has called her nothing less than "the greatest all-around singer in the world." Another admirer, Benny Goodman, asked her and John to accompany him in a television special now in national syndication. Though she had visited the U.S. for a few earlier concerts, Cleo had "always been nervous of trying my luck" here. But this spring she is touring from Oakland to Philadelphia and, though diffident about promotion, is playing shyly along with appearances on the Today, Tonight and Merv Griffin talk shows. Finally, her third American record album has just hit the stores.
The Dankworths—both now 46—have been together since John offered Cleo six pounds a week to sing with his jazz band in 1952. "Make it seven," countered Cleo, and it was a deal. Trained at London's Royal Academy of Music, John already had established himself while Cleo, the daughter of a West Indian migrant and his English wife, was still struggling. She had been a hairdresser, milliner, pawnshop clerk, librarian, cobbler and already married and divorced by the time she was 18. Her early years with Dankworth's group helped Cleo enlarge her incredible vocal range—four octaves to a high "super F." Periodically she left the band and made a wider reputation, singing everything from leider to Dankworth's offbeat settings of Shakespeare sonnets to Kurt Weill, acting in A Midsummer Night's Dream, and even portraying Hedda Gabler.
"We're used to playing career leapfrog," says John. Cleo chimes in, "It's bad to be in each other's pocket all the time," though she thinks it never hurts to be at each other's throat. "She's a sworn supporter of rowing in a marriage," reports John. Cleo says, "Our fights are a safety valve. If you bottle it all up, you walk out or commit suicide." The battle is joined right from the ordering of their day. John is an early riser—sometimes before night bird Cleo has even gone to bed. Many of their contrapuntal rows take place around two grand pianos in the antique-cluttered living room of their converted Old Rectory home, which is spread over 17 Buckinghamshire acres. They have 10 bedrooms, a stable and a 200-seat recital hall for their annual charity music festival and student workshops whose range from Palestrina to pop is characteristic.
If John is the conductor, Cleo is the prima donna. "I recognize his artistic superiority," she says, "but quite often, my intuition is proven right. John is ambitious for me. He's the dynamo; otherwise, I'd just sit. He has no need to be jealous of my achievements because he's done so much himself." According to John, "Cleo can go overboard in relying on pop and hit-parade sources. She is so much an actress that she would overdo the histrionics if there were not a good musician to keep her in hand. We strike a balance which is just about right. Whatever is exceptional about Cleo's repertoire—from Aznavour and Bach to Carole King and James Taylor—is due to the battling."
At home with their children Alec, 13, and Jacqueline, 11, the Dankworths muddle through in casual, unpampered comfort. Guests at meal time are in danger of being invited into the kitchen for some meatballs and a hard-boiled egg. "I tried hard to be the little woman and a good mother," says Cleo, "but it really wasn't my role at all. After a while, I'd start bullying and shouting at the children, and they'd urge me to get back to work." John will make the bed when Cleo's not up to it and "household maintenance" is described in Who's Who as one of his favorite recreations.
"We recognize," says Cleo, "that we are quite different and opposing personalities, and we know how to cope with it. If you reach the point of explosion, you duck." She added, with a mischievous smile, "When you put it all down and start analyzing it, we have nothing in common whatsoever"—and then she burst into laughter. John just beamed.

I have a fairly large query involving over 25 joins. It runs fine in 9i, but in 10g it takes a long time (often over 200 seconds). I am running the query on a database with no data in it (zero rows returned). Are there massive difference in the optimizer in 9 and 10 that might be causing this issue? It seems like when I reach a certain number of joins, the 10 instance starts taking a very long time to create the execution plan.
Does anyone have any hints or tips when reading the execution plan that might pinpoint what's wrong? I have books but I'm still kind of new to oracle query tuning.

Friday begins more than a week of youth league baseball.
Teams from Austintown, Boardman, Cortland, Warren and others all converge on Waddell Park for the annual Niles Youth Baseball League tournament.
Teams with players ages from 7 to 12 are playing there through July 15 or 16, depending on the weather.
Baseball is a rite of passage for most children - well, it was when I was growing up.
Throwing catch with your father, finding a pickup game at a local ballfield or playing a game of $3 where a pop fly was a $1, one hopper was 50 cents and a grounder a quarter.
The crack of the wooden bat was sweet, just don't hit the trademark.
Now, it's the ping of the composite / aluminum bats.
These kids are there to play American's pastime - baseball.
Since today is July 4, do your patriotic duty Friday and catch some great baseball at Waddell Park.
Speaking of our youth, The Ohio Blast teams took first and second, respectively, at a ASA Eastern National Qualifier held in Liberty June 8-10.
McDonald's Megan Ward, Sydney Vukovich and Brianna Callow were on the 10U Ohio Blast won first in their age division, meanwhile Rachel Ward of McDonald was on the 12U Ohio Blast team.
Kudos to those Blue Devils players.
Back in Niles, Red Dragon players Shawn Crowley, J.C. Pierko, Tyler Hinton and Noah Arvin, along McDonald Allan Coviello helped the Niles Area All-Stars U17 boys team win the Westlake Invitational Soccer Tournament over Memorial Day weekend.
Congrats to this solid NAAS team.

Burlesque Attitude, Nighttime Frills
The all-media collective known as Chicks on Speed take their most crowd-pleasing form as an art-damaged party band. Laptop-filtered and totally Teutronic, they play lots of covers and some originals that sound like covers. ("Glamour Girl" is their Pet Shop Boys song, "Floating Pyramid Over Frankfurt" is their Buzzcocks song, and "Turn of the Century" is, duh, their T. Rex song.) In other words, CoS are the best kind of fanscreative and proactive. Alex Murray-Leslie (the Chick from Australia) played the part when she opened Thursday's Knitting Factory show with a glass-shattering oh-look-there's-Gary-Numan! shriek and then hopped into the audience to pogo with the masses while the more impassive Kiki Moorse (from Germany) and Melissa Logan (from the States) held court above. This was the last of three shows marking their NYC debut, and even the glitches felt like source code. Sound snafus lent themselves to Dada visuals (Melissa chanting inaudibly into an obstinate gizmo), and the set's stutter-stop pace matched rhythm with Melissa's percussive, android-as-valley-girl vocals.
The tunes sounded like the records, but the execution was gloriously shambolic: non sequitur video projection, Sprockets-on-quaaludes dance moves, natty white pantsuits (with fluorescent-cardboard belt buckles that read "WOOOW!" and "OOOOH!") giving way to their patented paper dresses. Alex bodysurfed, injected something approximating desire into "Warm Leatherette," and attacked their massive boob-monster prop. As if to reciprocate, a few faithful chaps up front stripped off their shirts, but Alex couldn't stop givingshe tore the Factory schedule off the wall and sailed it into the crowd. The video screen displaying colorful abstractions behind them rolled up, but the Chicks pressed on with the neu-wave Dance Party U.S.A., the projector beaming its spectrum on their bodies like confetti.

Cummin' Atcha Live
Upcoming Events
Pretty much out of nowhere, groundbreaking newish music magazine gives clueless young writer his first big assignment: a 12-part series following up-and-coming "classic rock" band. Young man hits road, wacky hijinks ensue, but magazine turns up its nose at his report. Hero, disconsolate, retreats home.
Sound familiar? Guess again: 1989, Spin, me, Tesla. Unlike Cameron Crowe, though, I never got laid or almost killed, my stories sucked, Spin never ran them, and I had nothing to do with Jerry Maguire. But Tesla kept the faith: After pioneering the "unplugged" concept, selling 14 million records, and splitting up, they're back, and in honor of their nearly sold-out appearance at the Beacon on April 2, I dug out my red notebook with the all-access stickers from their tours with Poison and Great White. There was still a blank page between the notes of my first impressions (in Scottsdale, at a water park with the world's largest wave pool, some dude from Kerrang! told me we should have picked Warrant, who were opening) and my first law school assignments.
Tesla were never hip: Spin picked them in part because they were unlikely to be covered by the magazine in any other way. They would have made a great Stillwater: Singer Jeff Keith looks like Steven Tyler, only not as ugly; ax-men Frank Hannon and Tommy Skeoch have a virtuoso/wildman thing going on, and drummer Troy Lucketta and bassist Brian Wheat are the salt of the earth. Distinguished primarily by their lack of distinction, they had no gimmick, no hairstyle, and no philosophy; they're not even sexist. Their one decent love song is called "Love Song"; the swaggering opener is "Cummin' Atcha Live." They've borrowed some monster riffs, but they wouldn't know a hook if it caught them in the ass.
So why would so many thirtysomething headbangers give them a heroes' welcome? See above. Tesla are so unreconstructed, earnest, and upbeat you can't help but like them, unless you have not one positive memory of junior high. They rawk effectively, if not contemporarily, and they're thrilled to be here, especially since they're currently bereft of single, album, label, and buzz. At the end of the night's biggest sing-along, the Leppardian "Gettin' Better," Hannon scaled the drum ziggurat and pumped his fist, grinning triumphantly. New York Sit-tay gave the love right back. Everyone was happy. Is that too little to ask? Josh Goldfein
New Miserable Experience
On April 6, the New Year kicked off their Knitting Factory show with a cozy and appropriately brotherly looking four-man huddle. (Siblings Matt and Bubba Kadane, formerly of Bedhead, front the band.) This formation kept reinventing itself: Drifting into close proximity on the small stage, the guitarists and bassist appeared to be in a latter-day westernthink of a gaggle of men riding through the desert on horses with solemn companionability.
The mood was set by a new, as-yet-unnamed number that described being "18 and on the outside," and each song intelligently articulated this kind of low-grade melancholy. The midtempo "Half a Day" (which opens their record, Newness Ends) closed with the line "When I see you I won't believe you ever again." In the same vein, the standout "Simple Life," sung by Bubba, commenced on a languid, dazedly romantic note and slowly built momentumdriven by crushworthy Chris Brokaw's subtly ferocious drummingto the proclamation "I never thought I would think what I'm thinking now." Songs most often predictably climbed in intensity toward the end, layering sound and increasing the pacing, but the New Year's unfaltering precision, in terms of both technique and transmission of emotion, added intrigue to their set. Entirely unflappable throughout, the group panted only as they exited the stage after two encores, as the head-waggling crowd waited for more. Hillary Chute

Jason Kokrak is back in the swing of things.
The John F. Kennedy and Xavier University graduate will tee up for the first time since May at this week's PGA Championship in Louisville, Ky.
Kokrak tees off Thursday at 9:10 a.m. on hole No. 1 at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville with Stephen Gallacher of Scotland and Rafa Cabrera-Bello of Spain.
The JFK graduate and two-time Division III state medalist last played a tour event at The Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass May 8-11.
It took a couple of weeks to figure out why Kokrak hasn't played since then, when he was slated to play in the Memorial Tournament in Dublin, Ohio. He had surgery for a hernia, which has kept him out until now.
"It's just one of those things where you have to tell your body what's happening," Kokrak said. "I've never had surgery where they've cut me open - having the mesh put in and sutchering the wall shut. It put a damper on everything.
"I'm not back to 100 percent by any means. I'm 80 percent healthy. I feel good. It's nice to be back out on the course, playing fantastic courses every week."
He said he didn't want to rush back after the surgery as there was no need to hurry into to action.
Kokrak, who is 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, wanted to be back for the PGA Championship, but knew he had a couple of weeks of wiggle room prior to the postseason.
Currently, Kokrak is 76th in the FedEx Cup Standings with 632 points and has earned $1,071.033.
Kokrak has two top-10 finishes this season, including fourth at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill Club in March. He finished in the top 25 in nine of the 16 tournaments in which he competed.
And, he's got a spot on the PGA Tour in 2015.
He needed to tend to his hernia, which was diagnosed as an umbilical hernia.
"My doctor said eventually it's going to get worse and worse and you could have intestines coming through that muscle and fatty tissue walls in your stomach," Kokrak said. "I figured it was a good time and I didn't want to put myself behind the 8-ball - having surgery after the Tour Championship and missing all of the fall series and possibly some of the ones in the new year."
The Tour Championship is Sept. 11-14 in Atlanta.
After this weekend, Kokrak is taking off next weekend at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, N.C. He's planning to play the following two weekends in The Barclays (Paramus, N.J.) and Deutsche Bank Championship (Norton, Mass.).
"It's going to take a good effort to get inside the top 30, to play the Tour Championship," Kokrak said.
Right now, he's looking to get back to his normal self on the course - the one that has been a pro since 2008. This has been his best year on tour.
He's always been solid off the tee, ranking eighth on tour with 304.7-yard average.
"I don't have the range of motion or the flexibility back in my swing yet, so I'm not swinging as full as I did before the surgery," Kokrak said. "I think in time, within a couple of months, I'd be back to 100 percent swinging - hitting it far again."
He had a while after the surgery to be able to swing the long ball. He's been playing the last three weeks in Charlotte.
"After the surgery, the doctor said absolutely no drivers for at least eight weeks," Kokrak said. "He said don't take any chances or anything like that. I got to the point where I was feeling pretty good. I still feel it. I swing with no pain. I don't have any issues there.
"But the other day, reaching out of the car to the ATM, putting my card in, I had a sharp pain. It's just a different motion I'm not used to having a foreign object in my body."
With that range of motion, he tried to hone on his short game.
"I have been working on it," Kokrak said. "I've always been an athletic golfer. I'm not mechanical with my golf swing. I've always been able to hit the ball pretty flush. That has come back pretty good in the last week or so.
"The short game, in competition, is those shots under pressure that come with repetition. You get out there, play under pressure and if you can recall one certain shot and certain feelings that will help you out. I think getting out there under the pressure will definitely help me out going into the playoffs. I've been working hard the last couple of days last week or so on the short game - just trying to get the all-around game back together."
Whatever happens at the PGA Championship, one can bet Kokrak will have his family and friends from Xavier - about an hour and a half away from Louisville - there to cheer for him.
"I think I'm going to have a nice following this week," he said. "It's not too far outside of Ohio. I think people are starting to follow me a little bit more. It should be a nice week. I have no expectations for this week. I'm going to try to go out there, try to play golf and react to the shots - how I used to do it.
"Coming off an injury or coming off surgery, something like this, it's hard to have expectations because you haven't been playing competitive golf in however long."

The Carolina Panthers are 2-8 after losing to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday. After seven losses, it seemed that the Panthers had shown every possible way to get beaten.
When Carolina dropped its eighth game, the Panthers found a new way to lose.
The Panthers have dropped games late because of turnovers and predictable defensive play-calling, but the Panthers had never been flat out run over. Not until the Bucs did that at the end of their Week 11 matchup.
With 1:02 left on the clock and the Panthers clinging to an eight-point lead, the Bucs went to work. Josh Freeman's first pass was incomplete, as was his second. But a Thomas Davis unnecessary roughness penalty gave Tampa Bay a first down.
Freeman hit running back Doug Martin and wide receiver Vincent Jackson to move the ball into Carolina territory before, with 20 seconds left in the game, he hit Jackson again for a 24-yard score.
Tampa Bay still needed a two-point conversion, and Freeman went toward Jackson again. Carolina didn't have a quick enough transition from Captain Munnerlyn to Sherrod Martin, and Jackson easily caught the pass to tie the game.
The Buccaneers got the ball first in the overtime period and quickly used Martin to churn yardage down the field. Freeman hit Jackson again in the overtime drive, but the dagger to Carolina's heart came because linebacker James Anderson fell down in coverage, allowing Dallas Clark an easy touchdown reception to end the game.
Finger-pointing is easy in a game like this, but don't look toward the offense. Even though Carolina needed help from the defense just to score 21 points, any time you hand a defense an eight-point lead with just at a minute to play, a victory should be the expectation.

If you are looking for a FREE WINNER in the NBA tonight, then look no further. Ben Burns provides his in-depth analysis on this key Matchup for Free. Ben cashed in last night on the 76ers and the Under on Atlanta and Miami.If you dont currently have a Covers Experts account simply sign up and receive 2 FREE Guaranteed Winners.Pick: U (Denver Vs Detroit)Start: December 11th, 2012 - 7.30 PMCapper: Ben Burns https://experts.covers.com/Handicapper/Ben_BurnsOffered at: bookmaker @ Under 202.5 -110Analysis:Yesterday, we successfully played on the Pistons to finish "over" the number at Philadelphia, a game that topped the total by double-digits.
We're getting a considerably higher number to work with for tonight's game vs. Denver; I feel that the value has now shifted the other way.
While I was happy to see them give up 104 at Philly last night, (I had a play on the 76'ers) the Pistons have been relatively stingy here at home. For the season, they're holding visiting teams to a respectable 94.9 points per game, on 42.9% shooting. Games here are averaging 195 points.
This will be the sixth time that the Pistons will have played the second of back to back games. The previous five games produced an average of 193 points.
True, the Nuggets can score. They check in averaging 100.7 points per game, 99.4 ppg away from Denver. The Pistons tend to try and slow things down against better offenses though.
For the season, the "under" is already 4-1 when Detroit has faced an opponent which averages 99 or more points per game. (The "under" is now 32-24/57% their last 56 in that situation.)
As for the Nuggets, they've seen the "under" go 58-47-3/55% the past couple of seasons, when laying points, including a 5-3 "under" record when they've been listed as road favorites in the 3.5 to 6 range.
With the line having already climbed a bit from its opener, take a look at the Under. Want more of Ben Burns' expert picks then follow this link (and remember if you are a new customer you get 2 FREE GUARANTEED picks) https://experts.covers.com/Handicapper/Ben_Burns

A new analysis by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) downplays the psychiatric risks of the smoking cessation drug varenicline, but an independent analysis of the agency's adverse event reports suggests the drug dramatically increases the risk of suicide and suicide-related behavior compared with other cessation medications.
Substantially more reports of suicidal behavior in patients taking varenicline have been submitted to the US Food and Drug Administration than for any other smoking cessation drug.

Are you having fun?
Along the way we've discovered a lot more questions than answers about the nature of fun:
Is fun an activity or a feeling?
Do we need to experience the absence of fun to recognize fun?
Why is what's fun for some people is misery for others?
Is it about the biggest roller coaster or the biggest smile?
Can we predict what will be fun for other people? Do we always know what's going to be fun for ourselves?
Does fun have anything to do with where you come from? How old you are? Your gender?
Which is better—having fun yourself or watching someone you love have fun?
Are familiar activities or new activities more fun?
Is who you're with or what you're doing more important?
Is ziplining more fun than having coffee with a friend? How do we rank levels of fun?
How important are your expectations? Your attitude? Can you force yourself to have fun? Can you resist fun?
Who is luckier, people who have the time and money to seek out fun, or the ones who find fun in what they do each day? I know, it's a no brainer. We have met a surprising number of people of all ages and places who say what they do every day is fun for them.

Salvador has asked for Marcelle Bienvenu's fig ice cream recipe. She was happy to supply it for him.
Fig and Grand Marnier Ice Cream
Makes about 2 quarts
1 quart ripe figs, peeled and mashed
1/2 cup Grand Marnier
6 large eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Combine the figs and Grand Marnier in a bowl.
In a large, heavy, nonreactive saucepan, combine the eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla over medium heat and whisk to dissolve sugar. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly, then reduce heat to medium-low. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens enough to coat a wooden spoon.
Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
Add the fig mixture and stir to mix. Pour the mixture into an ice cream freezer and freeze according to the manufacturer's directions.
ORIGINAL BREESY BEEFY MAC: Since we recently published the updated, non-dairy version of M bistro chef Emily Dillport's Breesy Beefy Mac for our local football hero, Drew Brees, several people have asked for a reprint of the original Breesy Mac. For Miriam and Karen and others, here it is.
If you were on another planet last year, this Midwestern-style dish is a variation of macaroni and cheese with added ground beef and tomatoes.
Original Breesy Beefy Mac
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup chopped andouille
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon flour
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
1 cup chopped tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped jalapeños
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar and American cheese (plus extra for topping)
3/4 cup uncooked macaroni or pasta of your choice, cooked and drained
Melt the butter in a hot skillet, add andouille and sauté. Once the andouille is crispy, add ground beef. Break up the ground beef, and cook until the beef is done all the way through. Stir in flour until smooth.
Add heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until mixture thickens. Add tomatoes, jalapeños, salt, pepper and cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, stirring slowly (about 2 minutes
Mix the cheese sauce with the cooked pasta, and place into a well-greased oven safe dish. Top with a layer of shredded cheddar and bake for 7 minutes or more at 375 degrees, until dish is heated through and cheese is golden brown.
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS OF REGIONAL DESSERTS: In the pantheon of regional desserts, we are of course known for bread pudding, made by thrifty cooks with stale French bread from the day before. In New York, the most famous dessert has long been cheesecake, part of the city's rich Jewish heritage. Lindy's, a fabled deli that flourished from 1921 to 1969, served the most renowned cheesecake of all.
But the recipe for it was considered lost. Recently, Dan Freedman, national editor for Hearst Newspapers Washington Bureau, wrote a story with the recipe, which had been in Australia with the granddaughter of one of the owners. Freedman wrote that the trick is to follow the recipe to the letter. He noted that the cookie dough crust is enough for a very thin layer of crust so you might want to double it.
Lindy's Cheesecake.
2-1/2 pounds cream cheese (5 (8-ounce packages)
1-3/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour.
1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange rind
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
Pinch of vanilla bean (inside pulp) or 1/4 teaspson vanilla extract
5 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup heavy cream
Combine cheese, sugar, flour, grated orange and lemon rind and vanilla..
Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, stirring lightly after each addition. Stir in cream.
Cookie dough crust:
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon gated lemon rind
Pinch vanilla bean (inside pulp)
1 egg yolk
1/4 cup butter
Make the crust: Combine flour, sugar, lemon rind and vanilla, make a well in center and add egg yolk and butter. Work together quickly with hands until well blended.
Wrap in waxed paper and chill thoroughly in refrigerator for about one hour.
RoIl out 1/8-inch thick and place over oiled bottom of a 9-inch spring form cake pan. Trim off the dough by running a rolling pin over sharp edge.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake 20 minutes or until light gold. Cool. Butter sides of cake form and place over base. Roll remaining dough 1/8 inch thick and cut to fit the sides of the oiled band.
Make the filling: Combine cheese, sugar, flour, grated orange and lemon rind and vanilla..
Add eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, stirring lightly after each addition. Stir in cream.
Assemble the cheesecake: Preheat oven to 550 degrees. Fill form with cheese mixture.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 200 degrees and continue baking one hour.
Cool before cutting.
FLAG BRAND OLIVE OIL: Do you remember Flag Brand Olive Oil? This is before my time, but I am told it was a local favorite, imported into New Orleans after its creation in Sicily in 1941. It has not been available in the U.S. since the 1970s, but now it's coming back, and Louisiana will be the first state to receive it.
Brothers Joe Impastato of Impastato's Restaurant in Metairie and Sal Impastato of Sal & Judy's in Lacombe are the importers.
Sal Impastato shared this recipe using both products. I think very highly of the Sal & Judy's jarred sauces, so I am passing it on in turn.
Sicilian-Style Baked Chicken Breast
Makes 4 servings
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 cup Flag Brand Sicilian Olive Salad, well drained
6 very thin slices of Genoa salami, cut into 1/2-inch strips
1-1/3 cups (5 ounces) shredded Asiago cheese
1/2 cup Flag Brand Sicilian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pound fettuccine, cooked al dente and drained, topped with Sal & Judy's Italian Sauce of your choice
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. With the flat side of a meat pounder or rolling pin, pound chicken breasts until thin (they should nearly double in size). Take care not to tear the meat.
Place the breasts on a work surface and place 1/2 cup of olive salad in the center of each breast. Scatter equal portions of salami strips over the olive salad. Top each portion with 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Fold both sides of the breasts inward over the filling by about an inch. Beginning at the edge of the breast closest to you, roll the breasts tightly, pinwheel style. Place the rolls, seam side down in an 8-inch baking dish.
Whisk olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, brush each breast roll with a portion of the olive oil mixture. Bake breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rolls registers 160 degrees. Baste with more of the olive oil mixture halfway through baking time.
Slice the breasts into 1/2-inch rounds and fan them out, slightly overlapping, over pasta and sauce of your choice.
