I know several Swedes where öl is a food group, not just a food itself!
The Christian
Chrissy, waffles mean våfflor in swedish. (-:
Andrew, I would agree. Also that snus is a sub food group.
Few others come to mind:
Glass – That's always huge in Sweden. I hear the ice-cream man all the time.
Godies – I know they are candy, but Swedes LOVE there sweets.
Julmust – Mmmm Christmas pop.
or Påskmust! All the same thing :)
haha, hard to understand if u dont speak the languege – maybe some rough translation or explanation would be available in () ? :DDD
Rough translation especially for you…"Bland"! :)
yeah, i feel so daft to be the only person in the whole world not to understand swedish!
Some minor corrections and additions:
Ahlgrens bilar should be filed under A.
Nypon is spelled with 'y', not 'i'.
Herregård? Herrgård is mansion. Maybe you mean Herrgårdscider?
E: enbärslax
Q: quorn (not originally from here, but we do eat it)
T: toscaäpplen
W: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallenbergare
Y: yoghurtglass
Ö: Örtomelett
ÅÄÖ, not ÄÅÖ
Chrissy – 6.4 billion don't understand or care about Swedish. You are not the only one. =)
Mazui – Thanks. Though I looked up quorn and it's a fake meat product made from a fungus. Perhaps you mean quark (kesella)?
I meant quorn. It's honestly the only edible thing on Q I can think of.
I would place quark under K: Kvarg
@Mazui – I highly quorn can be considered edible ;)
I just thought of quail, Quaker's oatmeal, quiche, quinoa, quesadilla. Quesadilla is a definite yum!
Ok. I though the list was supposed to be in swedish. :)
It is supposed to be Swedish, that's why the foods are not on the list. :)
[…] we most famously associate meatballs with lingonberry and potatoes with home style Swedish cuisine, there are many other dishes Swedes traditionally eat. And perhaps not eat anymore, eh-hum […]

Saturday night at Richmond, Kyle Busch got out of his car after winning a Sprint Cup race for the first time since last August in Bristol and introduced the world to the new Kyle Busch.
It's a Busch, he insisted, who has learned the virtues of patience on a racetrack.
The Race: Showtime Southern 500, 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Darlington Raceway, Darlington, S.C. TV: KCIT, 6 p.m.
The timing for implementing those virtues could not be better because this weekend's race is the Showtime Southern 500 and it is held at Darlington Raceway.
Darlington, as its slogan tells us, is the track that can be too tough to tame. Without patience on the bizarre 1.366-mile, narrow, egg-shaped oval, Darlington is impossible to tame.
"You just have to be patient," Busch said of historic Darlington. "You just have to bide your time, and I wasn't very good at that last year (he finished 34th and 64 laps off the pace). You've got to make sure you keep working on your car."
That is exactly what Busch did last weekend at Richmond.
He had a car that looked great early, average-at-best during the middle part of the race and then good enough at the end to pass Jeff Gordon on a restart and get what his crew chief, Dave Rogers, called "a character-building" victory.
Busch said the old Kyle might have lost his patience during the middle part of the race and done something destructive-something that would have resulted in a character-destroying loss.
Not the new Kyle, his team owner said. Not the patient Kyle.
"I think one thing that's helped Kyle is winning that Nationwide championship last year," Joe Gibbs said after Richmond. "I think he had real patience there. There were days where he had to take third, fourth.
"I think this year-had this been last year with three or four of the things that happened to us in some of the races this year, particularly this one-I think you probably would have seen a different reaction.
"I appreciate the new Kyle."
But Richmond is not Darlington. Richmond is not as tricky or quirky or technically difficult as Darlington.
Especially for Busch.
Busch does have a victory at the South Carolina track. It came in 2008.
But an easy, clean victory it was not. In fact, it may have been more the result of luck than wonderful skill.
"You look at racers from the past," Busch said. "Jeff Gordon's car was killed on the side when he won (the 1997 Winston Million). So was Jeff Burton's, when he won there in the rain. There is a lot of heritage and history to that place, and it's an honor to race there because of that and how unique this place is and how many great drivers have won there."
The secret to winning there, Busch said, is the one that has made the new Kyle, the new Kyle.

Localizing obscure gastrointestinal bleeding can be a clinical challenge, despite the availability of various endoscopic, imaging, and visceral angiographic techniques. We reviewed the management of patients presenting with obscure gastrointestinal bleeding during the period from 2005 to 2011. Four patients had preoperative localization of the bleeding site with superselective mesenteric angiography, which was confirmed by the use of intraoperative methylene blue injection. This novel technique allowed us to identify the abnormal pathology, and, consequently, resection of the implicated segment of small bowel was performed without any postoperative complications. Final histology showed that 2 patients had arteriovenous malformations: one had a benign hemangioma of the small bowel, and the other had chronic ischemic ulceration in the ileum. Superselective mesenteric angiography combined with intraoperative localization with methylene blue is an important and innovative technique in the management of patients with unclear sources of gastrointestinal bleeding and allows for effective hemorrhage control with a focused and therefore limited bowel resection.
Despite a wide range of investigational techniques to aid localizing sites of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding, approximately 5% of patients continue to bleed from an unidentified source.1,2 In these cases, the small bowel usually becomes the focus of inquiry when the site of bleeding is not apparent following standard investigations. Obscure GI bleeding (OGIB) has been reported to be of small-bowel origin in 45% to 75% of patients.2- 5 We describe 4 patients with OGIB who had preoperative localization of small-bowel bleeding sites using superselective mesenteric angiography (SSMA) and intraoperative methylene blue injection.
Of the emergency patients referred for OGIB, 4 were managed in our surgical department with this novel technique because the standard investigations failed to reveal the source of hemorrhage, and the transfusion requirements continued. All patients had an upper and lower GI endoscopy, followed by a capsule endoscopy. In addition, 2 patients had a push enteroscopy. Because the source of bleeding was not identified using these procedures, a multidisciplinary decision for SSMA followed by surgery was made after a discussion between the gastroenterologist, the interventional radiologist, and the surgeon. All patients were prepared to go straight to the operating room after undergoing visceral angiography. A superior mesenteric angiogram was performed in the standard fashion via the femoral artery route. Following localization of the abnormality, a guide wire was passed, and a 3F highly selective catheter was passed in the distal arterial branch over the guide wire. The catheter was secured and left indwelling, while the patient was transferred to the operating room. One senior surgeon (L.R.J.) performed all of the procedures. At exploratory laparotomy, 0.5 mL of methylene blue dye (10 mg/mL) was injected into the catheter, which resulted in immediate demarcation of the small intestine over a length of about 20 cm with brilliant blue color (video). The delineated segment of bowel was resected in each patient with adequate margins, followed by primary anastomosis.
After superselective mesenteric angiography was performed, the coaxial catheter was left in the artery supplying the abnormal segment of small bowel. Methylene blue (1 mL) was injected selectively through the bleeding artery to stain the bowel at the point of hemorrhage. The injection of methylene blue dye immediately demarcated the territory of small bowel supplied by this mesenteric artery by a brilliant blue color and therefore guided the extent of the resection. The source of the bleeding can be seen at the end of the video as a concentrated dark blue area.
Patient characteristics and outcomes can be seen in our Table. For patients with an active OGIB detected on a visceral angiographic scan, the SSMA technique had a 100% success rate. During this period, a total of 6 patients underwent visceral angiography, and of these 6 patients, 3 had active bleeding; therefore, SSMA was performed. The other 3 patients had no initial active extravasation and did not need subsequent intervention because their bleeding stopped spontaneously. However, 1 patient rebled and had to undergo an SSMA following another visceral angiography that detected OGIB (Figure). Intraoperatively, there were no palpable lesions found in 3 patients, while 1 patient had a small nodule in the ileum that could have been easily overlooked. Three patients underwent a resection of the ileum, and 1 patient underwent a segmental resection of the jejunum. The median length of resection was 10 cm (range, 9-12 cm). Final histology showed arteriovenous malformations in 2 patients, a benign hemangioma in 1 patient, and a nonspecific chronic ischemic ulceration in 1 patient. All patients had an uneventful postoperative recovery. At median follow-up of 18 months (range, 10-24 months), no patients experienced rebleeding.
A patient with an actively bleeding arteriovenous malformation in the jejunum, despite attempted embolization, underwent SSMA and catheter localization prior to exploration in the operating room. Visceral angiography was performed via a right femoral artery puncture using a 7F sheath and catheter and a 3F coaxial catheter. A contrast agent (Ultravist 300; Bayer) was injected into the inferior mesenteric artery, the superior mesenteric artery, and the fifth and sixth jejunal arteries to delineate the pathology. The patient was found to have arteriosclerotic vessels and no signs of active extravasation. The site of previous embolization in the territory of the sixth jejunal artery can be seen (black arrow), as well as a small vessel bypassing the embolized segment (white arrow) to supply an abnormal-looking area of jejunum containing prominent vascular spaces and early venous drainage. These appearances were consistent with revascularization of the previously embolized arteriovenous malformation. The abnormality was situated at the junction of the territory supplied by the fifth and sixth jejunal arteries. The coaxial catheter was left in the sixth jejunal artery (gray arrow), and the patient was transferred to the operating room for laparotomy and resection following methylene blue injection.
Although uncommon, the management of OGIB can often be difficult and frustrating, especially if the bleeding originates from the small bowel. Angiodysplasia is the most common cause of acute or chronic hemorrhage from the small bowel,6,7 and these lesions are difficult to diagnose and locate during laparotomy.8 When patients present with exsanguinating GI bleeding, emergency surgery may be the only lifesaving possibility, after all nonoperative interventions have been tried (eTable in Supplement). Intraoperatively, lesions may be identified by visual inspection, illumination, or palpation. However, up to 50% of small-bowel lesions can be missed during laparotomy.9 An aggressive approach to preoperative localization of the bleeding source may prevent the high morbidity and mortality rates of blind surgical resection performed in desperation.10 Indeed, the lowest rebleeding rates after bowel resection for angiodysplasia have been reported in these situations.11- 13 Fogler et al14 first supported the injection of methylene blue through a catheter placed in the superior mesenteric artery during laparotomy and localized a jejunal arteriovenous malformation on the basis of more rapid clearance of the dye from the lesion. This method had a distinct disadvantage in that an extensive dissection of the superior mesenteric artery was required. Improving on that, Athanasoulis and colleagues15 described an intraoperative localization procedure by injecting methylene blue through a superselective prepositioned angiographic catheter. This typically results in the staining of a segment of bowel 10 to 40 cm in length, which allowed for the operating surgeon to more accurately define the affected segment, resulting in more specific and successful surgery.16- 18 A similar technique has also been used to identify the source of OGIB in infants.19
More recently, Stauffer et al,20 García-Barrasa et al,21 and Stanojević et al22 have also successfully used this technique. Localizing OGIB intraoperatively by fluorescein injection through a superselectively placed catheter has also been reported.23 However, orange fluorescein dye is more tedious to use and requires the use of a UV Wood's lamp intraoperatively. The successful use of provocative angiography (ie, the administration of 5000 U of heparin systemically and 10 mg of tissue plasminogen activator injected during angiography directly into the superior mesenteric artery) followed by superselective injection of methylene blue has also been reported.24 Of note, one of the limitations of our technique is that the hemorrhage has to be substantial and active at the time of the study in order to localize the source. Furthermore, when angiography can accurately locate an abnormality, the subsequent intraoperative localization of the bleeding point can still be a challenge. Superselective angiographic catheters have enabled interventional radiologists to cannulate distal visceral vessels and more accurately pinpoint the site of a lesion or bleeding. Intraoperative methylene blue injection causes a local, immediate, and dramatic demarcation of the small bowel that allows the suspected area to be well defined.25 The recommended maximum intravascular dose is 1 to 2 mg/kg,17 and each injection uses 0.5 mL of methylene blue (5 mg); thus, multiple injections can be made without reaching the maximum dose. Our small series of 4 cases exemplifies the problems that are commonly encountered in identifying the source of OGIB. Even though our cases all had pathology in the small bowel, we believe that this method could also be applied to cases with obscure colonic bleeding. Because surgery still offers the best chance for cure, we believe that SSMA combined with intraoperative localization with methylene blue dye plays an important role in the diagnostic and therapeutic workup of these challenging cases as an adjunct to standard endoscopic and radiological investigations. Larger prospective studies assessing the use of SSMA are warranted.

David McIntyre and other physicists who study laser tweezing use mirrors and other devices to guide a beam into vacuum chambers where the light can trap molecules for study.
Lasers scan our groceries, print documents and play CDs. Surgeons use them to cut and cauterize, and metal workers use them to slice and weld. OSU physicist David McIntyre uses them to trap and manipulate micron–sized particles, taking advantage of a laser–based phenomenon known as "optical tweezing."
Scientists have long known that light exerts force. In recent years, biologists have used it to measure the properties of DNA, proteins and cells. Now, McIntyre and other physicists are experimenting with the ability of lasers to hold and study smaller particles such as carbon nanotubes and cellulose nanocrystals.
"We focus a laser beam through a microscope, and that very small spot of light acts sort of like a magnet for particles," says McIntyre. By enabling scientists to hold and study particles, lasers have become essential tools in developing nanotechnologies.
An affiliate of the Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute, McIntyre coordinates research in a field known as nanometrology, the measurement of nanoscale phenomena, with researchers at OSU, Portland State University and the University of Oregon.

RALEIGH, N.C. - North Carolina State University and Campbell Law School will offer a dual degree in public administration and law beginning in the fall. This marks the state's first JD/MPA from two separate institutions of higher learning.
If pursued separately, it would take five years to complete the two programs. The dual degree option enables students to earn both degrees in four years of full-time study. Recipients of the JD/MPA will possess professional credentials for a diverse range of careers in law, government, nonprofit management, teaching, and research.
"With Campbell Law's recent move to downtown Raleigh, combining the strength of our law degree program with NC State's MPA is a perfect fit for the state capital," said Dean Melissa Essary of Campbell Law School. "This is a unique and efficient public-private partnership for the 21st century, and we believe generations of future North Carolina leaders and legislators will be graduates of this dual degree program."
"Raleigh is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing capital cities in the nation. Our community and our state need committed leaders, and the partnership between NC State's MPA program and Campbell Law School fits hand and glove," said Dr. Richard Kearney, director, NC State's School of Public and International Affairs. "There are many shared values between our respective programs, including a special emphasis on community service, leadership, and professionalism."
For admission to the JD/MPA program, students must apply and be accepted to both programs separately and then complete a dual degree enrollment form. Candidates who are admitted will typically complete the first year at Campbell Law, the second year at NC State, and the third and fourth years will be divided between the two schools to maximize course availability. Students who are already in their first year of the MPA program may reverse this admissions procedure if they are admitted into the School of Law for the subsequent year. Similarly, students already in their first year of law school may apply for admission into the MPA program.
For more information about the JD/MPA program, review the fact sheet.
About the NC State Department of Public Administration:
NC State University's Master of Public Administration (MPA) program is located within the School of Public and International Affairs' Department of Public Administration. The MPA is a professional degree that prepares students to enter or advance in a broad range of public service leadership posts, from legislative staffs and government agencies at all levels to nonprofit organizations and academic institutions. More than 1,000 N.C. State alumni who hold professional positions in federal, state, and local governments, as well as the non-profit and private sectors, have earned the MPA degree. For more information, visit pa.chass.ncsu.edu.
About Campbell Law School:
Since its founding in 1976, the Norman Adrian Wiggins School of Law at Campbell University has developed lawyers who possess moral conviction, social compassion and professional competence, and who view the law as a calling to serve others. The School has been recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) as having the nation's top Professionalism Program and by the American Academy of Trial Lawyers for having the nation's best Trial Advocacy Program. Campbell Law boasts more than 3,200 alumni, including 2,200 who reside and work in North Carolina. For 21 years, Campbell Law's record of success on the North Carolina Bar Exam has been unsurpassed by any other North Carolina law school. In September 2009, Campbell Law relocated to a new state-of-the-art building in downtown Raleigh. For more information, visit law.campbell.edu.

Domain I: Language Concepts and Language Acquisition
two words which are pronounced the same way but differ in meaning or spelling or both (e.g. bare and bear)
Aquisition Learning Hypothesis
Acquisition by subconscious process and learning through instruction are two separate processes and learners do both to acquire language.
Natural Order Hypothesis
Grammatical structures are acquired in a predictable order, irrespective of the language being learned.
Monitor Hypothesis
an internal editing device which comes into play when there is sufficient time and conscious knowledge to communicate correctly.
Input Hypothesis
Language acquisition is the result of comprehensible language input and not of language production.
Affective Filter Hypothesis
Filter that determines how much a person learns in a formal or informal language setting. Comprises affective elements that may block the acquisition process.
Silent Stage Period
Students new to acquiring language are silent until comfortable speaking. May last up to one year.
Common Underlying Proficiency of Languages (CUP)
Explains that in surface languages appear to be different. In deep structures, languages are interdependent.
Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS)
Social/conversational language which learners develop approximately within the first two years after initial exposure to new language.
Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency (CALP)
Academic language which learners develop within five to seven years without ESL methods.

Review: Check out Leona Lewis's 'Echo': Can you hear me now?
Does the British singer avoid the dreaded sophomore slump?
Two years ago, no one what a Leona Lewis was in the United States. Flash forward and she holds the record as the first British solo female to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200; plus her single "Bleeding Love" is one of the most played songs of the decade.
"Echo" follows on the same continuum started by her predecessor, the multi-platinum "Spirit." Lewis is flexing her songwriting muscle, co-writing nine of the 13 songs here, but she wisely surrounds herself with friends old and new. "Bleeding Love" co-writer, OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder (whom we interviewed last week and will post that story soon) returns to co-write and produce a number of songs, including first single, the mid-tempo weeper "Happy," which is a bit of an odd blend between Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U" and Eric Carmen's "All By Myself."
New to Lewis's sphere is Justin Timberlake, who co-wrote "Don't Let Me Down," and Bon Jovi/Sheryl Crow/Michelle Branch producer/collaborator John Shanks. Swedish master Max Martin and rocker Mike Elizondo—who is on every record these days from Carrie Underwood to Kris Allen—both make strong contributions as well. Despite the overwhelming number of cooks in the kitchen, to Lewis's credit the album doesn't sound like it was put together Frankenstein style.
Lewis's multi-octave range draws the obvious comparisons to her musical idols, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, but she also has much in common with '90s singer Sophie B. Hawkins (or even, as times, the Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan). Like Hawkins, her voice is supple, gorgeous and vulnerable. Plus, on much of the production here, Lewis's vocals are so enhanced with echo (making the album appropriately named) and other effects, it's as if the producers bathed her voice is soft, flattering, gauzy light to deliver to you on a feathery, down pillow.
Lewis is not a belter, she's more of a nuanced singer, and most of the songs here reflect that. A notable exception is the up-tempo "Love Letter," which sounds like it may have been better suited for a powerhouse like Kelly Clarkson, although Lewis redeems herself in the catchy choruses and her nearly unrivaled ability to coo.
She's also comfortable when she veers into dance territory on the delectable "Outta My Head," a tune that would have fit in perfectly on a Donna Summer or Kylie Minogue set. "Echo's" most interesting track is the mid-tempo "Brave," a slow builder enhanced by tympanis, destined to be a centerpiece of her live show.
While Lewis never strays beyond pop convention on her material on "Echo," she and her plethora of producers throw in interesting fillips here and there keep the listener's interest piqued, whether it's the simple, spare beauty of the beginning of "My Hands," or the intriguing synthetic drum and bass patterns on "Don't Let Me Down." Plus, although only 24, Lewis already shows commanding control over her voice in terms of when to whisper and when to shout (although she does venture into "calling all dogs" territory on "Can't Breathe," when she soars in to the stratosphere one too many times.)
Much of the album, such as on "Fly Here Now," boasts big production with an emphasis on the drums that recalls the '80s. Think Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight": Think big drums, atmospherics, and lots of air. Understatement is not in Lewis's arsenal, but when voices come as big as this one, that may be expecting too much.
Don't miss the last track, "Lost and Found," which features OneRepublic and rolls over to hidden track, "Stone Hearts and Hand Grenades."

Military operations frequently require surveying and navigational activities. In addition to the tasks described on those pages of this exhibit, early modern military architects used protractors to create designs for fortifications. In the 20th century, protractors were utilized to position artillery pieces. The collections are especially rich in examples from the Felsenthal Instruments Company, a Chicago manufacturer of scientific instruments that was influential from the 1940s to the 1970s.
"Protractors - War" showing 2 items.
Keuffel & Esser Military Protractor
- Description
- This yellow xylonite (celluloid-like plastic) rectangular protractor is contained in a paper wrapper marked: MILITARY PROTRACTOR (/) MADE BY (/) KEUFFEL & ESSER CO. (/) NEW YORK. It is divided by degree and marked by tens from 10° to 170° and from 190° to 350°, both in the clockwise direction. An arrow points to the origin point. A small hole near the 160° mark permits a weight to be suspended so that the protractor functions as a rough clinometer, to measure angles of elevation or slope.
- Four slope scales appear on the bottom edge of the instrument. These allow draftsmen to read or draw topographical contours indicating slopes in landforms of 7° and 3-1/2°; 8°, 4°, 2°, and 1°; 10°, 5°, and 2-1/2°; and 12°, 6°, 3°, and 1-1/2°, respectively. The scales for each set of slope measurements are not indicated, but they presumably are standard scales for American military engineering, such as 1:63,360 and 1:25,000.
- A scale of inches divided to tenths and marked by ones from 0" to 5" appears on the interior of the protractor. Below that scale are three scales for 1", 3", and 6" to the mile, respectively. Each scale is divided in 100-yard increments. The first is marked by thousands of yards from 1,000 to 8,000; the second is marked by 500 yards from 500 to 2,500; and the third is marked by 500 yards from 500 to 1,000.
- Maker's and owner's marks are near the lower edge: KEUFFEL & ESSER CO.; NEW YORK; ENG. DEPT. U.S.A. 1918. The United States Engineering Department was part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 19th and 20th centuries. K&E began to sell this form of military protractor between 1916 and 1921, so this object may have been in use during World War I (as the markings suggest). In 1936, the protractor cost $3.50. The design of the instrument changed again between 1936 and 1943. K&E noted in the 1943 catalog that the changed form was manufactured according to the specifications of the Corps of Engineers.

Although the illustration is correct in the 1921 catalog, the description is of the form advertised in the 1913 and 1916 catalogs. The 1936 description matches the illustration printed in 1921 and 1936, as well as this example of the military protractor.

Felsenthal A-10 Protractor and Map Coordinator
- Description
- This clear plastic semicircular protractor is divided by ten mils and marked by hundreds from 100 to 3,100 in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions. It is also divided by single degrees and marked by tens from 0° to 180° in both directions. Diagonal lines extend some of the measurement markings out to the edges of the rectangle surrounding the protractor. Pinholes are at the origin point and in the upper left and right corners. The interior of the protractor has cutout stencils for a circle, triangle, square, and two oblong shapes. The middle also contains scales placed at right angles to each other. They are divided and marked by hundreds from 1,000 to 2[00]. The scales are labeled: 1:21120.
- The left edge of the rectangular plastic piece is divided by tenths of an inch and marked by ones from 1 to 3. Inside the 3-inch ruler is a scale for mils divided by hundreds and marked by thousands from 5,000 to 1,000. The scale continues on the top of the rectangle, again divided by hundreds and marked by thousands from 5,000 to 1,000. The scale is labeled: 1:62500. On the right side of the top is a scale labeled: 1:20,000. It is divided and marked by hundreds from 1,000 to 2[00]. This scale also repeats on the right side of the rectangle. On the right edge of the rectangle, there is a scale divided by millimeters and marked by ones from 1 to 7. It is labeled: METRIC.
- The bottom of the protractor bears a scale divided by hundreds and marked by thousands from 1,000 to 8,000. It is labeled: 1:62500. The bottom edge has a second scale, divided by hundreds and marked by five hundreds from 500 to 3,000. It is labeled: 1:21120. The name of the instrument is printed on the very bottom edge: MAP COORDINATOR AND PROTRACTOR - A-10. Donor Ben Rau dated the object to 1942.

Seafood Paella with Chicken and Hot Sausage Recipe
By Emma Haberman | May 24, 2012
This delectable seafood paella is a regional Valencian dish, originating from the mid-19th century. Traditional Valencian paella consists of white rice, vegetables, meat (chicken, duck or rabbit), land snails and beans. Though the ingredients are interchangeable, the one necessity is that the bottom layer of rice must be toasted to form a crust, called socarrat. When cooked over an open flame, as traditional paella is, the socarrat forms naturally.
This paella includes seafood, chicken and hot sausage. Many paellas are made with chorizo yet hot turkey sausage to be an excellent low-cholesterol substitute. Pair with a nice crisp Verdejo wine and you have a dinner party in an hour.

News from around the nation
Obama hosts Romney for lunch at White House
WASHINGTON -- Campaign foes just weeks ago, President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney met for lunch at the White House on Thursday, discussing America's leadership in the world and pledging to stay in touch after a bitter presidential contest.
In their first meeting since the election, Obama and the Republican nominee shook hands in the Oval Office and had an hourlong lunch in the White House's private dining room, fulfilling a promise Obama made in his victory speech the night of Nov. 6.
A White House official said Romney congratulated the president for his successful campaign and wished him well in the coming four years.
Over a lunch of white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad, the two men pledged to stay in touch, particularly if opportunities to work together arise.
Obama aides said they reached out to Romney's team shortly before Thanksgiving to start working on a date for the meeting.
Supreme Court weighs gay marriage issues
WASHINGTON -- The running fight over gay marriage is shifting from the ballot box to the Supreme Court.
Three weeks after voters backed same-sex marriage in three states and defeated a ban in a fourth, the justices are meeting today to decide whether they should deal sooner rather than later with the claim that the Constitution gives people the right to marry regardless of sexual orientation.
The court also could duck the ultimate question for now and instead focus on a narrower but still important issue: whether Congress can prevent legally married gay Americans from receiving federal benefits otherwise available to married couples.
The court could announce its plans as soon as this afternoon. Any cases probably would be argued in March, with a decision expected by the end of June.
Senate committee approves update to digital privacy law
SAN FRANCISCO -- Digital privacy laws in the United States just got one step closer to the 21st century.
A Senate committee on Thursday backed privacy protections that would require the government to obtain a warrant from a judge before gaining access to e-mail and other electronic communications.
The 1986 Electronic Privacy Communications Act was written before the Web was born and long before Americans started sending, receiving and storing so much of their personal communications and documents online.
NASA confirms ice on planet closest to sun
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- Scientists have confirmed a vast amount of ice at the north pole -- on Mercury, the closest planet to the sun.
The findings are from NASA's Mercury-orbiting probe, Messenger, and the subject of three scientific papers released Thursday by the journal Science.
The frozen water is in regions of Mercury's north pole that always are in shadows, essentially impact craters. It's believed the south pole harbors ice as well. Messenger orbits much closer to the north pole than the south.
For two decades, radar measurements taken from Earth have suggested the presence of ice at Mercury's poles. Now scientists know for sure.

Millcreek supervisors refer zoning change to commission
Millcreek supervisors referred to the township planning commission a developer's request tonight to rezone property from light industrial to regional commercial district.
Tenth Street Building Corp., a related entity of Baldwin Brothers Inc., is seeking the rezoning for property at 2206 W. 15th St., which is just south of the corporation's Pittsburgh Commons development that includes Big Lots.
"Regional commercial is the most appropriate zoning for a multi-tenant building with the types of tenants that already exist there," said Jack Munch, director of leasing and development for Baldin Brothers.
A medical office and a flooring store are in the building now, and an activity center for a online charter school is being built there, he said.
Supervisors will vote on the rezoning after getting a recommendation from the planning commission.

Anarchy for the win..... not even kidding.

Anarchy for the win..... not even kidding.
Stupid? No. Hoodwinked, yes. I felt betrayed too once I discovered paleo and its benefits. I work on paying it forward and starting my own paleo pyramid. I tell someone, they tell 2 others and so on.
I am grateful to teach my 13 year old son what good food really is. He will teach his children.
He still binges on junk at times, I expect him too. How else will he learn how he feels eating paleo vs not. He is still a kid and why not have pizza or ice cream every now and again. He understands it bad for him, but is ok as a treat.
He is learning how certain foods make his stomach hurt and make him tired. He is on his own journey of self discovery.
I think this will prepare him when he leaves home and makes his own nutritional decisions.
I am just happy to have found this lifestyle. As one poster said many people stumble blind to the grave following the herd.
Not so much stupid as willfully lazy. My bad. It's in my past. I grew up in a culture of "question authority," and got lazy as I got older. That's done now. I guess even in my cynicism, I never expected my govt to sell out something as fundamental as my good health. Because of how I live my life, I'm often caught short when people do things for money that are so disgusting, that to me they would be bad plots for B movies.
It's a global frankenfood carb conspiracy started by bacon hating Jews and approved undercover by the UN!!! So we are all doomed whether we lives in the US, Canada, Europe, Russia or South-America, and soon comes the Apocalypsis, and no more butter and bacon in the supermarkeds...
[QUOTE=silentmercy;1181400] I am grateful to teach my 13 year old son what good food really is. He will teach his children.[/QUOTE]
Exactly right.
In terms of the government versus big business debate, we know that there are elements of both that are bad for the public's health hence we do need to retain the power to excersise self sufficiency in our food choices.
But the good news is that we can develop the ability to take from both business and government what helps us and ignore what doesn't. For example, I still use supermarkets and convenience stores. I try not to but I do use them, they sometimes sell some good fresh food products. Another example, in the UK, the health authority has run the 'five a day' campaign for the last few years, encouraging people to get at least five small portions of fruit and veg per day. It doesn't come close to what I think they should be saying, but I applaud it nonetheless. It must have taken some serious negotiation from people to even get this out there.
And the trajectory is in the right direction. Advertising and packaging of sugary foods and drinks now have to come with health warnings. Coca Cola's adverts are becoming a confusing mixture of 'drink this but don't drink TOO much of it', much to my amusement.
And we have a choice in terms of how we can see ourselves: Either as a downtrodden minority who know they are right but are having to become defensive and exclusive in order to maintain our way of living (and some people do find this mentality attractive), hiding behing the sandbags to stem the assualt of government and big business ignorance, idiocy and intolerance, OR we can see ourselves as leaders - people who have embraced the truth about nutrition and are able via our actions alone, to influence the health of the whole of our society for the better, able to bring a message that does it's own legwork - it can be demonstrated rather than merely discussed. There is ultimately no substance to the idea that humans can make better food than nature, it is beginning to collapse, I can see it hapening now, and we are at the leading edge of this realisation, that will spread further, until it's just a facet of common knowledge. In 50 years time, frankenfoods could very well be a rarity.
So the question is - are you prepared for this way of life to become normal? If we are currently a happy minority, we aren't likely to remain one for much longer.
[QUOTE=eKatherine;1179642]Don't feel stupid. There was a conspiracy to misinform you. You did the best you could under the circumstances. Feel good that you have finally seen through the subterfuge.[/QUOTE]
Conspiracy or not, the end results have been the same. US government comes out with eating guidelines, food companies make processed crap that people eat thinking they are (somewhat) following those guidelines, they get "hooked" on the processed carbs, they get sick and fat.
They go to the doctors, who are trained to either prescribe drugs and/or do surgeries, they take the (heavily advertised and hyped) drugs, they get sicker. The medical profession creates customers, not cures. The evidence makes that statement obvious.
Is this a well planned and executed conspiracy to keep us sick and hooked on CW?
Does it make any difference?
The results are the same, planned or not.
I don't feel really stupid ... I think it is fair from you to have accepted as genuine wisdom what you were taught. On the other hand, it is absolutely unfair that one is taught absolute crap in the disguise of wisdom and purposefully. So don't knock your head too hard, it is not really your fault. And remember: nutritional science is much much worse in terms of knowledge gathering than say fundamental physics or mathematics for obvious reasons. But in all this, it is always better to apply critical thinking, something that modern schools are not exactly encouraging in kids ...
thanks for all these thoughts, i appreciate them and don't feel quite so bad about it. I'm glad I discovered this way of life. My blood sugars are pretty good now; always in the 8s. I know this isn't perfect but when I consider a month ago I couldn't get even the fasting levels below 13 its pretty damn good.
those of you who suggest sharing this knowledge will be pleased to know I am and i'm a pretty good advert really. My family, friends, colleagues and patients have seen me drop 25lbs in under 4 weeks, regain control of my blood sugar in that same month and I look a heap better. My skin is so clear, my hair shines like glass and is growing like a weed and my nails are growing like talons ( is don't think I'm turning into werewolf but I'll keep you informed!)
3 of my staff have started the lifestyle and my vegetarian friend is introducing fish to her diet and giving up wheat but replacing it with rye.
its probably too late to expect it to alter the outcome of my cancer but at least I don't feel ill any more
I didn't feel stupid. I just felt lied to. Though thinking about the people who invented the conspiracy eating according to their own guidelines always makes me feel a little better.
I think I felt the most angry after reading Wheat Belly and The Omnivore's Dilemma. I had no idea I had been eating GMOs and that NONE of it had been tested for human consumption. Traditional wheat really wasn't THAT bad for you, and then they went and screwed with it's DNA and it exploded it's GI and gluten content.
[QUOTE=whitegirlinasia;1189111]Traditional wheat really wasn't THAT bad for you, and then they went and screwed with it's DNA and it exploded it's GI and gluten content.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, all that in order to solve the starvation issue in countries where it is a big issue. Then it was probably found that this modern strain of wheat had other effects than just yielding 10 times more than older strains ... :(

Your loved ones may call upon you for support today, and you may be dismayed to discover that there is little you can do to aid them directly. Because you are likely in an accommodating mood, your first impulse will likely be to do all you can to take the burden off of the shoulders of friends and family. Consider, however, that the challenges they are facing may be important to their larger journeys of evolution, which means they must face them alone. You can still comfort them and give them support today, and this small contribution to their wellbeing may be precisely what they need at this point in their struggle.
Oftentimes, the only gifts we can give our relatives and friends are sincere love and solid emotional support. There are many trials and tribulations human beings must face on their own, without the direct assistance of outside aid. Yet even when the people we care about are coping with the stresses of such incidents, we can nonetheless comfort them so that they are ready to face the next round of challenges. We may not always understand how much our reassurance means to our loved ones because we cannot see the impact it is having on their overall experience. It is likely, however, that our meager gifts are helping the important individuals in our lives to persevere through difficulties so they can emerge unscathed on the other side. When you do what you can to smooth your loved ones' paths today, they will forever appreciate your contribution to their wellbeing.

While the discipline of history has always played a central role in the enterprise of nation building and national identity formation, perhaps nowhere has this been more prominent than in central Europe. In the densely pluralistic geographical area once occupied by the Habsburg monarchy and the Balkan provinces of the Ottoman Empire, the many competing visions of the common past frequently preferred to define themselves first and foremost in militant opposition not only to their
immediate ethnic neighbors, but also to the ethnic minorities among them. This has given rise to the development of tenacious historical myths which have taken such strong root in the popular culture of the respective successor state societies that they remain bitter impediments to the avowed pluralism and integration process of the new Europe.
Such historical myths not only frequently fly in the face of the pluralistic realities of the geographic region, but just as often stubbornly resist the reinterpretation that new research findings would seem to suggest. The objective of this symposium will be to reexamine some of the most persistent myths of central European history in the light of new research, and to invite a reconsideration of the confrontational view of the common past inspired by nationalist hostilities. The period under consideration will focus primarily on the early modern and modern periods (i.e, since the Renaissance), though consideration will be given to earlier topics where appropriate. Submission of proposals for either individual papers or for full panels are invited. All prospective panelists should submit a 500-word abstract (together with a curriculum vitae and e-mail address) summarizing their thesis and supporting evidence. Panel proposals consisting of a commentator and three participants, who must come from at least two institutions, are also welcome. CAS and CCAuCES particularly urge scholars from central Europe to submit proposals, but encourage them to examine their own national myths rather than those of their neighbors. Papers should not exceed ten pages of double spaced text (excluding footnotes) for an oral presentation that will not exceed 20 minutes.
Deadline: April 1, 2001.
Notifications regarding acceptance will be made by May 18, 2001. CAS and CCAuCES will be in a position to subsidize some but not all travel and accommodation expenses of participants. A special conference hotel rate will be available, which, depending on the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar, will be approximately $60-$70 (U.S.) per day.
Paper abstracts, panel proposals, or questions may be directed to: Franz A.J. Szabo, Director, Canadian Centre for Austrian and Central European Studies, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB Canada T6G 2E6. E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com;
or Gerhard Weiss, Interim Director, Center for Austrian Studies, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis MN 55454, U.S.A. E-mail: email@example.com.

60-year-old student graduates from Full Sail
Despite setbacks, woman pursues her dreams
Bhavna Bhen suffered a stroke 18 years ago and still feels the effects today, but she didn't let that stop her from pursuing her dreams of finishing college.
On Friday, Full Sail University recognized Bhen as valedictorian at its commencement ceremony.
A stroke at the age of 42 ended her dance and theater career, but she found a new way to express her creativity and artwork.
"Don't give up. Life is a choice. The way that I think is a choice and happiness and sorrow take place in the mind. It's about how you think," Bhen said.
Bhen enrolled in Full Sail University four years ago and went on to earn a bachelor's degree in graphic design. .
Bhen was also given Full Sail's Advanced Achiever award, which is given to only one student per class. The award recognizes a student whose work and talent inspires others.

I believe you are right, not that big of a deal, but...
Grep for group #33. That is what you should use in your localconfig.
So long as the permissions are open enough, you should be able to work
around it, but it can't hurt to fix it up right.
I believe that you can even put in 33 as the group. Checksetup should
still apply that group to all the files.
So, $webservergroup=33;

About This Book
William McKinley was born in Ohio, the seventh of nine children. He was a serious student and became a teacher before enlisting in the Union army during the Civil War. After the war, his likable personality and keen intelligence helped him rise quickly in politics. He became a Congressman and then governor of Ohio before running for president in 1896. He was an extremely popular president who was known for supporting business, helping pull the nation out of a serious economic depression, and making the U.S. a major world power through its victory in the Spanish-American War. Unfortunately, during the first year of his second term as president, he became the third U.S. president to die from an assassin's bullet when a deranged unemployed mill worker shot him.

Walking around the War Memorial in his street clothes on Tuesday, Syracuse Crunch forward Steve Kelly looked perfectly fine.
If you happened to brush against him or tried to get him to move quickly, you'd find out it's a much different story.
Kelly suffered a pair of broken ribs when he took a hit against Manitoba on Saturday. Actually, one rib wasn't so much broken as bent.
Think about that for a second. A bent rib. It hurts just to type that. Anyways, he will be out 4-6 weeks.
Kelly said the injury was the most painful he's had in hockey, and when you consider how long he's been around, that's saying something.
"I couldn't believe how freakin painful it was,'' he said. "That's the way it goes. Let it heal up and and take it from there.''
- Crunch forward Adam Pineault, trying to get his groin injury healed, will not play Wednesday at Albany. He is shooting for Saturday at home against the Wolves, though he would like to play Friday at Springfield, since that's his back yard.
- Syracuse forward Derek Dorsett's temporarily injured leg is fine. Houston defenseman John Scott rolled up on it Sunday, and Dorsett had to be helped off the ice. He returned, but after the game said it was still sore. Tuesday, he said it was OK.
Course, with Dorsett, you could fire a nail gun into his kneecap and he'd say the same thing.
- Enforcer Jon Mirasty's hands are seriously barking, but he claims they are nothing more than "sore.'' When your job description includes punching people in the head and helmet, of course your mitts will be in a perpetual state of pain. But 12 games into the season it's already fair to wonder whether Mirasty's hands will hold up at his current pace.
"I'll keep battling through it. It's not a big deal,'' he said.

MIDLAND -- Dow Chemical Co. and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have agreed on a plan requiring the company to clean up dioxin contamination in a Saginaw neighborhood.
EPA says tests in April revealed unacceptably high levels of dioxin in an area by the Lower Tittabawassee River. Dow says the contamination probably resulted from activity at its upstream Midland plant dating back a century or more.
Under the agreement, Dow will clean the interiors of 11 homes close to the river. Their yards will be excavated and backfilled with clean soil. Unpaved surfaces of Riverside Boulevard will be cleaned.
Work at the site is expected to begin late this month and continue through mid-October.
EPA says it will oversee the cleanup, in consultation with state agencies.

BJC wants to help patients who do not have health insurance or who need help paying their hospital bills. As a nonprofit health care organization, BJC and our member hospitals and health service organizations care about the patients and communities we serve
through better health and better health care.
Our staff can help you:
BJC Financial Assistance
First and foremost, your financial circumstances will not affect your care. All patients are treated with respect and fairness. Patients who meet certain income guidelines may qualify for BJC Financial Assistance, including reduced hospital charges and long-term, interest-free payment plans. Patients who are eligible for financial assistance will be billed less than the amounts generally billed to individuals who have insurance covering such care. Information regarding amounts generally billed and its calculation is available by calling 314.362.8400 or toll-free 855.362.8400.
If you are insured and have questions about your coverage or your level of benefits, please contact your insurance provider. Patients without insurance will automatically receive a 40 percent discount on the billed charges and will be considered for assistance. Depending on the type of service and level of financial assistance, a partial payment may be required. We can give you a Financial Assistance Policy Income and Discount chart that shows the payment amounts upon request.
Download Financial Assistance Policy Income and Discount chart here. Also available in LARGE PRINT, as an Audio file and as an American Sign language video.
Financial assistance approval will be in effect for 12 months from the date of approval. Patients who have services within this time period should inform us by calling 314.362.8400 or toll-free 855.362.8400 so that financial assistance may be applied.
Exceptions to the financial assistance qualification criteria will be considered on an individual basis.
Applying for Financial Assistance
You may apply for Financial Assistance at any time – before, during or after your care, up to 240 days after your initial bill. We will send information with your bill about how to apply for assistance. Applications are also available upon request at any BJC facility, on our websites. Download the application form here. The application requires proof of income such as an income tax return or paycheck stub. Examples of documents which may be used as proof of income can be found on the application form.
Download the application form here. Also available in LARGE PRINT.
Patients who have been enrolled in Medicaid or who are deemed eligible for Gateway to Better Health in the last six months automatically qualify for Financial Assistance for medical services that are not covered by Medicaid. (The only exception is if the previous Medicaid enrollment was due to pregnancy. In that case, you can still apply for Financial Assistance.)
In addition, patients may be approved for financial assistance based on the use of a standard analytic approach which estimates the patient's financial and/or socio-economic position. Eligibility for this type of assistance does not automatically qualify the patient for assistance on future accounts.
Medical Qualifications for Financial Assistance
BJC hospitals will provide, without exception, care for emergency medical conditions to all patients seeking such care, regardless of ability to pay or to qualify for financial assistance, in accordance with the requirements of the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA).
Financial assistance is available only for emergency and medically necessary services. It does not apply to elective procedures such as cosmetic surgery. It also does not apply to the portion of your services that have been paid for by a third party such as an insurance company or government program.
Financial Assistance is available to patients who live in Missouri and Illinois.
A listing of providers who are not included under BJC's financial policy is available by calling 314.362.8400 or toll-free 855.362.8400 or download the listing here.
Income Guidelines for Financial Assistance
The amount of financial assistance you receive is based on Federal Poverty Level information set by the U.S. government each year. To be eligible for a discount, your family income must not be more than three times the Federal Poverty Level (300 percent). We can give you a Financial Assistance Policy Income and Discount chart that shows these income levels upon request. In addition to your income, the discount will also take into account the size of your family. Patients with family income over $100,000 a year are not eligible for BJC Financial Assistance, regardless of family size. Uninsured Illinois residents receiving services at Alton Memorial Hospital may be eligible for additional discounts under the Illinois Hospital Uninsured Patient Discount Act.
Income Guidelines for Catastrophic Events
In the case of a catastrophic medical event, patients who may not ordinarily qualify for Financial Assistance will be granted aid. Under these special circumstances, patient payment responsibilities in a 12-month period will not be more than 25 percent of annual family income.
