As shipments of hybrid and electric cars take off, so will sales of lithium-ion batteries: IHS expects industry revenues to grow from $11.8B in 2010 to $31.4B in 2015, and $53.7B in 2020. A123 Systems (AONE), Ener1 (HEV), and China's BYD (BYDDF.PK - previously) are some of the names developing lithium-ion batteries for cars.

Interesting numbers. This throws some light on the fact that the value of deals like AONE's recent agreement with GM depend a lot on whether or not the contract concerned is for a pure EV or PHEV. AONE's deal appears to be related to a pure battery EV model - not to a future version of the Volt and not to another intended PHEV model. Some updated thoughts here -

March Muffin Madness continues with a recipe for Vanilla Pear Muffins from Leanne of Healthful Pursuit. Aren't they just gorgeous? I think vanilla and pears make a really sweet combination! But please don't be misled by my statement as Leanne states that her recipe is gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free, yeast free, corn-free, grain-free, and nut-free. (Note that I have not been noting several of these "free" factors for other recipes as I have not verified the safety of individual ingredients in recipes, but will share this information when the participating blogger provides it.)
Enjoy learning more about Leanne and her Vanilla Pear Muffins (see the whole line-up of bloggers, blogs, and muffin recipes here)
and be sure to leave a comment on today's post to enter the MMM giveaway that will be conducted on March 31 and includes three different muffin pans (mini 24-cup, steel 12-cup, or cast iron 6-cup), an immersion blender, a spiral vegetable slicer, an electric pressure cooker, a 12-cup food processor, and—my favorite in this giveaway!—a Blendtec all-in-one-kitchen appliance (with a Wildside Jar)! Thanks again to the folks at Blendtec for sponsoring our Super Grand Prize! Please remember that EVERY comment in the series will be an entry for the final giveaway, so if you've missed some posts, take a moment and visit them and leave a single comment on each to get in the maximum number of entries. (FYI: You can also check out all the prizes on the sidebar right beside this post.)
When Leanne's not experimenting in her kitchen, she tells me that you can find her speaking at various woman-based events, painting her nails, sweating it out in hot yoga or sippin' on beet juice, adorned with a glass straw. (If you read Leanne's blog, you definitely know this last statement is true!)
I'll turn it over to Leanne right now, so she can tell you more about her blog and services and then get to the all-important muffins recipe of the day!
If you're ready to create the life you've been dying to live by liberating your eating style and join a community of thousands of women on the same path, head on over to HealthfulPursuit.com.
From complete 7-day gluten-free & dairy-free meal plans, to liberating your dessert dilemma her vegan & grain-free dessert cookbooks, Leanne is on a mission to prove that: just because you're trying to eat healthy, doesn't mean you've got to join the convent.
Leanne's newest book, Vibrant Life Cleanse Program & Cookbook, comes out March 26. On the surface, it's about juices, smoothies and cleansing. But really, it's about activating your most radiant self. It includes over 55 dairy-free, vegan and gluten-free juice & smoothie recipes and 7-, 9- and 11- day cleanse programs, plus all the tools you need to cleanse with success.
On to the Muffins
Power to the muffin!
Muffins are king around our house. They're portable dollops of goodness that I pack full of good things that my fiance and our family will eat without batting an eye. Add ground flax seed for a dose of healthy fats, protein powder to amp up your protein intake, extra fruit if you find it challenging to get all the fruits into your day, double up on the nuts for added fiber… there are so many ways to make them work for you.
My perfect muffin is something that's high in protein, light, low in calories, and high in fiber. Sound like too much to ask for? No way.
Enter the muffin that's solving our snacking problem one low calorie, high fiber bite at a time!
Leanne's Vanilla Pear Muffins Recipe
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoon extra-virgin coconut oil, melted
- 2 tablespoon non-dairy milk – I used lite coconut milk
- 3 tablespoon unpasteurized honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free pure vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sifted coconut flour
- ¼ teaspoon gluten-free baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ large bosc pear, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon coconut sugar
- Preheat oven to 400F and line 6 muffin tins with muffin cups. Set aside.
- Place wet ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix well with a hand mixer.
- In a small bowl, combine coconut flour with baking powder and nutmeg. Drop into the wet ingredients and mix until there are no lumps.
- Drop batter into muffin cups and place sliced pears on top with a sprinkle of coconut sugar.
- Bake in preheated oven for 16-18 minutes.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 1 minute before removing from the pan and placing on a cooling rack to cool.
Muffins can be stored for a few days at room temperature. Keep in the fridge to prolong time, or freeze in an air-tight container for up to 3 months.

Um, actually the fact that Apple broke 111 and held yesterday was huge. This was a one day phenomenon prompted by a Japanese company repeating the same stupid story for their clients that are short the stock. Earnings are 10 days away...
Since when did the University of Pheonix go IVY League?
No. First of all, the only people stupid enough to follow Trump are slack-jawed yokels who still have land lines and don't know what a cell phone is.
so are you.
you are an idiot.
They are helping Americans you moron. They are protecting everyone's privacy. It would be very easy for them to sell everyone's privacy down the river--like Google does every day. It would actually make them MORE money. You are truly an idiot.
Apple up, up and away!
What a PUTZ
wrong. It's not the short selling. 100 million shares is peanuts on a stock with a 600 billion market cap
Apple sells at 9 times forward earnings and has 1/3 of its entire market cap in cash. It grew its earrings 30% YOY for that pitiful multiple. No, Apple is not overvalued at all. But the rest of tech and the market are.
And what do you think those shorts are going to do when Apple blows-out earnings, yet again, on Jan 26th?
Um, LOL, if ATT does a two for one deal that is not coming out of Apple's pocket; its coming out of ATT's pocket and Apple gets full payment from ATT for both phones. So, I hope the wireless providers keep cutting each others throats and making things more affordable for the consumers while Apple continues to sell massive units and print more money.
This is reality folks. But, the buffoons will keep believing the bears.
With 1/3 of its market cap in cash and 30% growth over the past year. Utterly breathtaking.
Mark this post.
The best solution is to immediately ignore the people who do this.
2nd in short interest? LOL, by what metric? Absolute shares short? That's a stupid metric. Shares short as a percentage of MC is the only metric that matters and Apple shares short are very low on that basis.
Ahhh....no. You're wrong. The "A" is for Amazon.
Yes you are. You are a feckless, know-nothing douche.
WRONG. Last year was 10 million. 30% YOY growth.

Michael Nadra Primrose Hill
Venue Details & Map
Michael Nadra Primrose Hill
- Address
42A Gloucester AvenuePrimrose HillLondonNW1 8JD
This restaurant thinks it's so fancy it doesn't need to bother with customer service.
I've lived in the area for 6 months and had no idea of its existence; my dad found it online looking for somewhere to eat near me. My initial impressions were favourable - it seemed sophisticated and understated. Looking at the menu, I was a bit lukewarm, but that's probably more to do with my fussiness than...more
It's great if you like the "minimalist" gourmet type of kitchen. I had "Tuna tartare & salmon ceviche with chilli pickled cucumber, shiso leaves & salmon crackling" as a starter, it came nicely decorated, the flavours combined well but it was really tiny. For a main I've ordered "Saffron tagliolini with grilled manouri chesse, french asparagus, kale & morel mushroom sauce", again quite small a...more
"Meh" is about the best word I can come up with to describe this place.
I was quite excited to have dinner here, having read all about Michael Nadra's provenance on the restaurant's website and previewed the menu online.
Some of the dishes on the menu sounded really rather good (despite no obvious common theme to the food) and I ended up having to make some tough choices for both my...more
Great food - presentation, flavours and creativity but the place has no ambience, and the staff wasn't particularly friendly or personal in the way they approached us. Below standards for this price range, even though i must stress the quality of the food.more
Surprisingly empty for such a nice restaurant. possibly due to its location tucked in a corner and the entrance being in the basement. First, the setting was very classy, the outdoor dining looked good for warmer nights, and the basement (where we sat) was pretty romantic. The service was very good, and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality of food. Portions were generous, and...more

Evidence from prospective studies of human cases of posttransfusion hepatitis observed among 299 cardiac surgery patients, and from each of three experimentally challenged chimpanzees, indicates that immunity to hepatitis B infection can be overcome by massive challenge doses. However, all cases of hepatitis in patients with prior immunity have been subclinical. Chimpanzees developed hepatitis and HBs antigenemia when challenged with hepatitis B virus that had an antigenic subtype identical to that used in the primary infection. This response provides evidence against the role of differences in antigenic composition of initial and challenge strains of virus as an explanation for incomplete homologous immunity.

Eat Your Way from Asian to Vegan at Tampa's Popular Buffets
By Skye Rodgers
Tampa Local Expert
When you're traveling with picky eaters or are short on time, sometimes a good buffet is the perfect answer. Everyone gets exactly what they want, at the portion size they want and usually at a decent price. Luckily, Tampa has many quality buffet options to choose from. To help you find the perfect buffet, 10 Best has put together a list of the city's best buffets representing a variety of cuisines, locations and price points.
Perhaps the most convenient option, one that is available all day, is the Fresh Harvest buffet located in the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. This full-cuisine buffet is regularly restocked with an ever-changing and slightly overwhelming variety of delicious dishes. Located just off I-4, it's easy to find even if you're not interested in taking advantage of the games and entertainment. Maybe just one run at the slots?
Ethnic buffets are very popular and a good way to introduce hesitant diners to a new cuisine. Go out on a limb and try Tampa's Queen of Sheba. Offering a weekday lunch buffet, this restaurant serves traditional Ethiopian fare. If you like spices and don't mind eating with your hands, this is a perfect choice.
Come along with 10Best for a tour of the best buffets in Tampa. You will see that sampling buffets in Tampa doesn't mean skimping on quality, originality, or the dining experience.
Sweet Tomatoes
Sweet Tomatoes is an all-inclusive buffet-style cafeteria that specializes in soups and salads. Great family dining that provides healthier alternatives for both adults and kids. This restaurant features an open and airy atmosphere with tons of booth seating. The menu varies each month providing a new variety of salads, soups, pasta dishes and specials to choose from. The salad bar features 50 fresh ingredients as well as specially prepared and tossed salads. Items are made from scratch each day including their moist muffins and fresh focaccia bread. Finish off your meal with a selection from the dessert bar which features a self-serve ice cream bar. ((813) 874-6566)

When you're in the mood for good times and great cuisine, be sure to checkout Taste of India. The restaurant is located in Brandon, just a short drive from downtown Tampa, and is known for its delightful staff and superb cuisine. The menu at Taste of India features a wide array of great selections, made from only the freshest and highest quality ingredients, with something sure to please every member of your group.

Queen of Sheba
If you're looking for a first-time experience in your buffet dining, Queen of Sheba might be your best bet. This popular Ethiopian restaurant offers a weekday lunch buffet. Ethiopian cuisine is quite different from almost any other food, using unique blends of spices on traditional meats and vegetable dishes like lentils, collard greens, and potatoes. The food is served on a type of flatbread called teff and diners use pieces of bread to scoop up the various dishes for eating. There's something for everyone and the service staff is more than happy to help those who are new to the Ethiopian game. (813-872-6000)
Gaspar's Grotto
Gaspar's Grotto is a popular bar and restaurant located in Tampa's Ybor City historic neighborhood. Perfect for visitor's who have not had the opportunity to experience the annual Gasparilla Celebration, Gaspar's celebrates the famous pirate invasion all year long and everyone gets to party like a pirate. Three large bar areas offer patrons options for seating and entertainment and there is always something going on. If you get hungry, Gaspar's offers some very decent bar grub from Tampa favorites like the Cuban sandwich and Devil Crab to the hottest hot wings in the city. (813-248-5900)
Texas de Brazil
Texas de Brazil is a Brazilian-American churrascaria, which is the Portuguese word for "barbecue," and has its origins in the campfire cooking of the gauchos of Southern Brazil. Be prepared for a different dining experience. You start your meal with a trip to the 50-60 item salad bar area that includes appetizers, soups, salads and other traditional side items. Once you return to your seat, the real fun begins. Each diner is provider with a two-sided card; green on one side, red on the other. You use the green side of the card to summon waiters, known as Passadores, to your table. The Passadores will then arrive with knives and a skewer speared various kinds of meat such as pork, filet mignon, lamb, chicken, or sausage. This is called "rodizio" service. This is an all-you-can-eat dinner, so make sure you come with a big appetite. ((813) 871-1400)
Hao Wah
One of the great buffet options in south Tampa is Hao Wah. This spacious Pan-Asian restaurant is spacious and family-friendly. Reliable, quality food at a reasonable price is the name of the game here. The options are wide-ranging, from a broad sushi offering to staple Chinese and Vietnamese dishes like Peking duck and pho, there is something for every fan of Asian cuisine and culture. You can also order off of the menu and be guaranteed to have enough to bring back for leftovers. They also do a brisk take-out business for those who would rather eat on the go. (813-253-2095)
The first thing you notice as you enter Oystercatchers is the amazing view. This seafood restaurant, nestled among lush, tropical landscaping, takes full advantage of its location at the edge of Tampa Bay. Inside, the decor is bright, simple and modern, serving as the perfect backdrop for both the views and the expertly prepared food. The star of the lunch menu is a selection of locally sourced fish served wood grilled, blackened or sauteed. Not only are the dishes inventive and fresh, they are also gathered with conservation in mind. While the food and the view will cost you (around $20 for a fish entree), the experience cannot be beat. Part of the Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay, Oystercatchers has cemented itself as one of the great restaurant spaces in Tampa. (813-207-6815, 813-874-1234)
Firestick Grill
The recently renovated Amalie Arena boasts one of the finest buffets in town. Their on-site restaurant called the Firestick Grill opens their buffet two hours before any event and features a revolving menu that rotates with each event you are there to see. Jam-packed with a variety of different dishes, the buffet also features three "action stations" available, including a carving station, a taco bar, and a pasta station. Finish off with a dessert or a drink in the Bacardi OakHeart Lounge and you should be well-fueled to cheer on the Lightning or your favorite performer in concert. ((813) 301-6926)
Fresh Harvest
As anyone who has visited Las Vegas knows, the buffet is a central experience to the casino culture. Luckily Tampa's Seminole Hard Rock Casino, didn't forget this when they established Fresh Harvest. Everything is top-notch at the Hard Rock and Fresh Harvest has gained the reputation as the best full-cuisine buffet in town. Diners can tour world cuisine, sampling everything from brick-oven pizza to dim sum, all cooked fresh in seven open, live-action kitchens. The perfect place to scratch that buffet itch!

Yankee fans know this routine very well.
A veteran pitcher doesn't receive the type of offer from a team he likes in the offseason. He decides to sit on the sidelines and wait until a team that he likes actually has a more clear-cut need for his services in hopes that he'll receive a lucrative prorated contract in May, June or July.
It was, of course, Roger Clemens who played this to perfection back in 2007. That season, he announced his return to the Bronx in a now-legendary comeback announcement live from the owner's box at Yankee Stadium on May 6.
Clemens got paid in a big way for riding in to theoretically save the day for the 2007 Yankees, who were having starting pitching woes. He made approximately $4.5 million per month that season. It didn't really turn out that well for Clemens or the Yankees.
The Yankees made the playoffs, but lost in the first round to the Indians. Clemens went 6-6 in 17 starts with a disappointing 4.18 ERA in what would be his final season as a professional baseball player.
Now, Roy Oswalt, a pitcher coming off a subpar season in Philadelphia in which he endured his first real bout of a potentially long-term injury, hopes to follow in Clemens' footsteps.
Oswalt has no illusions of making similar money, but the free-agent pitcher who has gone from wanting a typical long-term free-agent contract, to being open to a one-year deal, to his current desire to make a midseason comeback, seems to have a desired scenario in mind for 2012.
It's just totally unclear what that is at this time.
He's had talks with numerous teams, but to this point, neither the money nor the actual team itself has matched up for Oswalt.
The Red Sox had interest, but Oswalt seemed fairly unenthusiastic about playing in Boston.
The Cardinals, Phillies and Rangers have also been linked to Oswalt, but earlier today, Oswalt seemed to imply he's willing to wait it out until midseason.
If that is indeed the case, then who might Oswalt be waiting to hear from this summer or late spring?

Colt Ford's latest ahead of Saturday show
Colt Ford visits The Rave Saturday night in a show that has been reformatted into a Packers Playoff party. Opening act Chasin' Mason will perform during halftime of the Packers-49ers game and Ford will hit the stage 10 minutes after the conclusion of the game.
The former professional golfer turned country rapper has been riding the success of last year's chart-topping fourth studio album, "Declaration of Independence." While the roughneck album resonated with Ford's growing legion of fans, his brand of in-your-face hick hop has yet to resonate in a big way with country radio. This is actually a bit surprising, since he's long featured big country stars on each of his albums and the guest list on the new album includes Kix Brooks, Montgomery Gentry, Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean and Jake Owens (who will be opening for Aldean at June 29 at Summerfest.) »Read Full Blog Post

Chamber Theatre blossoms again with lighthearted 'Jeeves in Bloom'

Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

A banned book just makes me want to check it out. Earlier this
year, a Vermont school uninvited beloved children's book author, Kate Messner,
from a planned visit due to the content in her latest book, The Seventh Wish . Honestly, I
might have missed this gem of a story, had it not been in the news for this
reason. But I'm so glad I didn't because it's an important story and a good
The Seventh Wish is about
so many things, including Irish dancing, ice fishing, middle school
friendships, and the love of a close-knit family. It's also about opiod
addiction. In the story, the main character's older sister struggles with drug
use and eventually leaves college to go to rehab for her addiction. In the
midst of the rest of the main character's life, the effects of addiction on
each member of the family are explored. This was, of course, this part of the
book that caused it to be censored earlier this year. You can read some of the author's thoughts
and details on this summer's events here.
Heather has two arms, two legs, two pets and two mommies. There is a lot of love in her home, but when Heather goes to school, she worries maybe she's the only child without a daddy. The teacher helps all the students learn that each family has their own special combination of people and that "the most important thing about a family is that all the people in it love each other."
Leslea Newman self-published Heather has two Mommies in 1989. It's been re-published many times since. This most recent version, published in 2015, is the best in my opinion. The pictures make all the difference! Laura Cornell's watercolor illustrations add color and many comic touches to the story.
For example, when Mama Kate, the doctor, and Heather listen to each other's heartbeats with stethoscopes, the two pets participate. Kitty Gingersnap is comfortably plopped on Mama Kate's medical bag, and Midnight, the dog, leans in with her ear flopped over Mama Kate's knee. The band-aids on Mama's knee--stuck to the outside of her blue jeans--and at various spots on the sofa, as well as the purple lily attached to Heather's hair are all chuckle-worthy. Gingersnap and Midnight appear some special place in every home scene, helping out -- mixing cookie batter and 'cleaning' the floor-- or just hanging out. (Look for them on the bed at storytime.) The school scenes are just as precious. This is a picture book, after all, and the pictures draw the reader in.
Heather has two Mommies was one of the most challenged books in the 1990's, because it doesn't represent some people's beliefs about what a family should look like. The book endured over time, regardless of efforts to ban it. All kids benefit from seeing themselves and their family lives represented in story and pictures. Children can learn to embrace diversity by reading about all kinds of families and other children.
When I was eight years old, I stumbled across a book in my elementary school library that sparked a decades-long obsession for a certain period of world history and sewed the seeds for the activist I would become as an adult -- Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl.
The books in my elementary school library were sorted by grade level. Students were only allowed to check out books from their grade range. A few times per week, my class would visit the school library for an hour of quiet reading. During one of these visits, as I walked up and down the aisles, an off-white book with a black and white photo of a young girl caught my eye. I remember studying her face, her large eyes, and wondering what she was thinking about at the moment that school photo was taken. Intrigued, I plopped down on a whistle chair in a private corner and started to read.
Within minutes I was sucked into the world of this 13-year-old girl and quickly lost track of time. When my teacher informed the class it was time to check out, I panicked. I knew I would not be able to check out the book, as I was not old enough. I was desperate to finish it, so I made the drastic choice to slip the diary into my backpack. I remember sweating, being terrified as I walked out of the library, waiting for a firm hand to grab my shoulder and an angry voice to call me out as a thief. I thought about how much trouble I would be in. Despite the fear, I wasn't swayed. I HAD to finish the book.
Anne's life was drastically different from mine, but in many ways, I related to her. I too found escape through writing. I too found relief in creating other worlds I felt safe in. I identified with her feelings of isolation and desperation for a different life -- a different, kinder world. By the time I neared the end of the diary and realized she died alone at Bergen-Belsen, I was heartbroken. I felt like I had lost a friend, a confidant.
I didn't realize it at the time, but at 8 years old, I had experienced the age-old, controversial practice of book banning. Someone else deemed the material was inappropriate for someone my age. Someone else determined I was not mature enough to handle the content of the book, and demanded my school prevent students of my age access to it. This someone had no idea the impact this book would have on my life. While I absolutely do not condone stealing, I do not regret my decision.
Since Anne's father Otto Frank published the first edition of the diary in 1947, Anne Frank, The Diary of a Young Girl remains one of the most challenged books in history. The original published diary, and the subsequent releases of the rest of Anne's writings have been under constant fire by opponents, mostly Holocaust deniers, who have questioned their authenticity.
Because of the persistent accusations against the diary in the 1960's and 70's, Otto Frank led the charge for a number of investigations. The most extensive was executed in the early 1980's by the Netherlands Forensic Institute at the request of the National Institute for War Documentation. The result was a 250-page report that irrefutably proved the authenticity of Anne's collection of work.
It is ironic that ever since her death at age 16 in 1945, Anne Frank is still being persecuted. As recently as 2013, a mother of a seventh-grade girl in the Northville school district in Michigan claimed the definitive version of Frank's diary, which includes passages left out of the original 1947 edition, is too graphic for young students. The mother felt Anne's description of her developing body was "pornographic." Fortunately, the school district rejected the challenge.
Anne Frank's diary is considered one of the most influential, historical documentations of The Holocaust, which is exactly what Ann hoped to accomplish when she rewrote her diary with the intention of publishing it when the war was over. Anne wanted to "go on living, even after her death" and she has. Hatred and ignorance extinguished her life, but despite continued oppression, her voice is louder than ever.
I am a huge fan of the award winning author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh. In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month I submit these two excellent picks by this author.
The Princess and the Warrior is a re-telling of one of Mexico's most cherished legends. It is the story of unlikely love between a princess and a lowly warrior. The king issues a challenge to the brave warrior: defeat their enemy Jaguar Claw. Will they end up together? Find out.
My other pick is Funny Bones: Posada and His Day of the Dead Calaveras. This is the history of the Day of the Dead Calaveras. Calaveras are those skeletons dressed as ladies called Catrinas, and other characters that you see around the time of the Day of the Dead. The library will be hosting programs for the Day of the Dead at many locations. Check our LINK.
If you're interested in a jump start on the history of the artist Jose Guadalupe Posada (1852-1913) who made the skeleton images an indelible part of these celebrations, you'll enjoy this book.
You may remember Mara Wilson as Robin William's youngest daughter in Mrs. Doubtfire or as Nikki Petrova on Melrose Place, but she's most widely known for her wonderful performance as Matilda in the 1996 movie adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel. She left Hollywood when she was a teenager to pursue her true love—storytelling—and study at NYU. Her first book, a memoir called Where Am I Now? True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame, is a smart, funny take on her experiences going from an odd child to a well-adjusted adult. I imagine a grownup Matilda would love to read this.
One of the proudest moments in my career happened when we invited author David Levithan to Kalamazoo. The program was not only going to feature the future Margaret A. Edwards Award winning author, but KPL was also going to give out books to teens featuring LGBTQ characters. The excitement for Levithan's visit soon turned sour when we learned that some people in the community were not happy with the program. The primary objection was that the main character in Levithan's novel Bot Meets Boy, expressed that he knew he was gay in kindergarten. Paul's ability to self-identify at an early age was not something you read about too often in books for teens in 2003. In fact when first published, Boy Meets Boy sparked a revolution in LGBTQ literature for teens. Here was a book that at its core is love story featuring two teens, dealing with teen problems, who happen to be gay. Levithan does address one character's battle with his super conservative parents and how people react to the school's transgendered quarterback/Homecoming Queen, but in the end Boy Meets Boy is about love.
As the day of David's visit got closer, we learned of a protest outside of the library. The local news stations started to call asking for interviews. The staff planned for every possible response from the public that day. When it was time for Levithan's talk to begin, I was proud to see a full house (with people even in the hall) of excited advocates and lovers of literature. Outside I found less than ten protesting. Love won and prevented fear from keeping the message of Boy Meets Boy away from those who need it the most. Celebrate Banned Books Week by reading anything by David Levithan, one of the most challenged and banned authors in the past 13 years.
In The Upside Down Boy - El niño de cabeza, United States Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera tells the story, in verse, of a pivotal time in his childhood when his mother and father moved their family to the city so that he could attend school. He tells the story of how his third grade teacher, Mrs. Sampson, invited him to the front of the class to sing a song. He sang "Three Blind Mice" and Mrs. Sampson told him "You have a very beautiful voice". The book is dedicated to Mrs. Lucille Sampson, Herrera's third grade teacher, who, at age 95, was present at the Library of Congress when Herrera was inaugurated as the United States Poet Laureate in 2015. You can hear Herrera tell this story in front of an audience at the Kansas City Public Library on New Letters On the Air.
Leslie Jamison's book of essays, The Empathy Exams, begins with her experience working as a medical actor. What is a medical actor? I had the same question. It is an actor that is given a profile of someone with a particular ailment and symptoms and personality. Then they will have a mock appointment with a medical student so the student can practice diagnosing the illness. However, they aren't just practicing the clinical part, but the social skills part; the ability to empathize with their patient and create a relationship where the patient would be willing to talk freely about their illness.
Can you practice empathy? Can you practice empathy when you know the person is just acting?
These are some of the questions she explores in the first essay. After that, the most difficult ultramarathon race, a prison in West Virginia, mines in Bolivia, and a tour of South Central Los Angeles are just a few of the places she will take you on her nuanced and moving dissection of empathy.
While working in the chapter books collection of the Children's Room, B.U.G (Big Ugly Guy), a middle grade chapter book by Jane Yolen and Adam Stemple, caught my attention. Sammy Greenburg gets bullied (a lot) because he stands up for other kids. When a new 6th grader, John "Skink" Skinner, comes to Sammy's aid, they are fast friends - in part because both are musicians and they both love words. Sammy plays clarinet and Skink plays guitar. Sammy introduces his friend to klezmer music and they aspire to start a band with their friend Julia on violin. The plot thickens when Sammy decides to make a golem, the mythical, hulking, protecting colossus of Jewish folklore, out of his father's pottery clay. And, of course, that's how they get a drummer for their nascent klez/punk band. It's pretty cool to find a middle-grade novel with references to The Klezmatics and even a brief explication of some klez scale patterns. There are inevitable problems when building your own golem to vanquish school yard bullies. You'll have to read the book to find out how it ends.
Jesse Ball writes the kind of novels that, while amazing and among my favorites, are often difficult to recommend to a lot of people. Not because they are of sub-par literary quality in any way, but because they are often experimental, hypnotic and seem intent on confounding the reader. Recommending a few of his titles to friends and family has made it clear that Ball really isn't everyone's "cup of tea". But that may change with his latest effort How to Set a Fire and Why. The book is a fair bit more accessible than his previous titles, but it is the narrative voice that Ball uses to give life to the books narrator Lucia that makes it a read that I feel more people would and should enjoy. Lucia is a high school aged, sharp-tongued straight talker very much in the tradition of Holden Caulfield. But Lucia is also a wannabe arsonist and potentially a real danger to society, yet her sense of humor and intelligence makes her immediately likable. Plus she spells out and follows a strict ethical code of her own design. Her circumstances are beyond tragic, but the boldness of Lucia's wit and the power of her individuality ultimately assure you that despite the sad truth of her life, Lucia will survive. You may not go on to read more of Jesse Ball's work, and that's ok, but once you get to know Lucia you won't soon forget her and you won't put this book down.

Kiwi-Coconut Snackballs
2 kiwi fruits, peeled and chopped
2 cups unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1 tablespoon liquid vegan sweetener (maple syrup, agave, etc)
1. Place kiwi into food processor bowl with S blade in place. Add coconut and sweetener. Pulse until mixed, about 20 seconds. It will be a light green crumbly paste when it is finished.
2. Using a 1 tablespoon spring-loaded scoop, press the mixture into the hollow and pack it until it is firm. Squeeze the handle to release the ball from the scoop.
3. Using your hands, carefully press it into shape. I tried rolling them in my hands/palms and they crumbled on me. Repeat with the rest of the mixture until the mixture is used up.
If you don't have a scoop, you can try pressing 1 tablespoon or so amounts together in your hands to make "patties." I do not recommend using the dried defatted coconut, because you can really taste the "defattedness." You can try using sweetened coconut. If you do, I would suggest leaving out the sweetener and then adding it in if you need it.
Source of recipe: I am always interested in looking for dessert types of treats that do not have a ton of added sugar in them. This recipe makes a nice little snack or dessert but they are pretty delicate, so I don't recommend them for packing in lunches (unless you don't mind if they fall apart!). This recipe is vegan and can easily be made raw.
This was the first Veg Web recipe I ever made! I added banana to the mix and froze them.
These were really good, my 2 year old daughter loved them! I added some lime zest and rum extract to the mixture to give it even more of a tropical flavor.
Just thought of another idea.... you could roll these in macadamia nut pieces!
These were really good, my 2 year old daughter loved them! I added some lime zest and rum extract to the mixture to give it even more of a tropical flavor.
In my haste to make these, I messed them up. They were too wet, I added flour-didn't help. It's in the freezer now. Any suggestions? By the way, they taste awfully good. I hope I can salvage them.
This was certainly a YUMMY TREAT! Very sweet for its low sugar amount! I used a little bit of egg subsitute so that they would stick togethre more and it worked and didnt fall apart as much...yumm! Thanks! :)
Ayee, I pressed "post" without saying how much I loved the recipe! My roommate who has always hated coconut gobbled several of these up to her own surprise! Thanks so much for the recipe, it's so simple and now a new favorite!
I used mashed banana (two) instead of the apple sauce and I was really pleased with the consistency.
Also, I formed the balls and then rolled them in dry coconut. I found this also added to the texture.
;D Yay! My second ever successful treat! Once again, not a very skilled chef yet, so this was incredibly easy and tasty!
I used the sweetened shredded coconut (2 cups), no syrup, and 3 extremely ripe medium sized kiwi. Also, as someone commented before on using applesauce to bind it together, I used it and it worked --plus it made the snack/dessert all the more sweeter!
I don't even like coconut, but I loved this! Thank you very much!
I give it a 5 out of 5
I like almost-sugar-free desserts, too, especially ones that are mostly just fruit, like this one. I haven't tried this yet, but kiwis are on sale, so I might make it today. In response to the problem of it crumbling up, I bet you could add just a tablespoon or two of applesauce to help bind it. Or maybe a splash of soy milk. I'm hoping that if I make it moist enough, I can roll the balls in extra coconut--like fruit truffles. I'll write back if I do this successfully.

The "asphalt scandal," after all, is commissioners' first item on their list of infractions Selby has committed since his election as mayor in November 2007, according to a censure-ship resolution approved 3-2 by the board last Friday.
SUNSET BEACH—Carmel Zetts is always thrilled when new sea turtles hatch at the beach.
It was no different July 17 when seven "newborns"—these made of stainless steel—emerged on the sand next to the island gazebo to once again pay tribute to the longtime turtle advocate.
The work by metal sculptor David McCune was commissioned by the Sunset Beach Turtle Patrol to replace a previous sculpture erected in Zetts' honor that was destroyed by vandals in March.
BOLIVIA—With the state budget still in limbo and the first day of school less than a month away, Brunswick County Schools is trying to make a budget with all the predicted state and local reductions.
One of the biggest reductions is in state and local allotments for teacher assistant positions. Last year, funding allowed for 150 across the district.
SUNSET BEACH—Police in Fuquay Varina are seeking a suspect in connection with a prescription theft in Sunset Beach.
Sunset Beach Deputy Chief Steve Smith said Elisa Gandy Mangum, 42, of Angier, is sought for the reported July 24 theft of four prescription medications from a Sunset Beach home.

Attacks on Immunization Workers in Pakistan Spotlight High Price of Politicizing Health Care

Santa Anita: Steiner close in return
Jockey Joe Steiner finished a close second in Friday's sixth race on Woodland Flood, a 34-1 shot who led in the stretch of a $10,500 to $12,500 claimer over a mile but was beaten a head by Saravas Wild Again ($19.20).
Prior to Friday, Steiner last rode at Santa Anita in April 2005, a layoff initally caused by a shoulder injury. In recent years, Steiner, 46, had worked as an exercise rider, primarily for trainer Bob Baffert.
Woodland Flood finished a nose in front of 10-1 Concerto's Thunder, who was a head in front of 4-1 Capt. Sparrow. Equiparado, the 9-5 favorite, bled visibly from the nostrils and was eased through the stretch.

NFX is an invite-only guild for digital networks and marketplaces. It runs a three month program in the Bay Area twice per year for 15-20 companies. Companies in the program can be post Series A, post Seed, or pre Seed.
The program covers the unique challenges that face these types of network effect businesses, including marketplace balance and liquidity, network density, retention tactics, growth tactics and strategy, benchmarked KPI's, rake pricing and other fees, effective access to the platform companies like Facebook, Apple and Google, rapid scaling, etc.
Companies we've worked with in the past can be seen here. NFX Guild companies benefit from joining these companies and their classmates in a trusted guild of entrepreneurs working on similar businesses with similar problems.
Throughout the NFX Guild program, office hours are open five days per week and the companies can meet with the partners as often as it makes sense, typically up to twice per week. For the first few weeks, we also meet as a group twice per week. For the remainder of the weeks, we meet as a group once per week. There are additional optional group sessions covering specific topics. Each company will be introduced - if required - to expert Advisors in the Bay Area with the ability to help with the specific challenges they face.
The NFX program takes place in the Palo Alto area.
The other NFX office is in Israel, in Hertzeliya. Israeli NFX companies get an additional pre-program in Israel to help ensure they are prepared to make the most of the NFX experience in the Bay Area. The pre-program includes prep sessions, a class dinner, and office hours.

Joy Kills Sorrow Appears on Prairie Home Companion Today
To support the release, Joy Kills Sorrow will continue to tour throughout the summer and they are now set to perform on Prairie Home Companion today, June 29: http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/tickets/. See below for tour routing details.
Joy Kills Sorrows is comprised of founding member Matthew Arcara (guitar), Emma Beaton (lead vocals), Wesley Corbett (banjo, vocals), Zoe Guigueno (bass, vocals), and Jacob Jollif (mandolin). Formed under the banner "a modern American string band," the group first emerged out of Boston's thriving folk music scene in 2005, releasing their self-titled debut album in 2007. Having collectively won various musicianship, songwriting and vocal awards, the band is an eclectic mix of musicians who have classical and/or jazz conservatory training. NPR Music hails, "with a foot firmly planted in its bluegrass roots...Joy Kills Sorrow's influences from the worlds of jazz, pop, swing and rock are clearly felt in its polished arrangements."
Wide Awake was co-produced by Joy Kills Sorrow and producer Dan Cardinal. Of the new EP, Arcara notes that it "represents new, fuller, thicker sound for Joy Kills Sorrow-we tried to capture the power of the band at full throttle. It's a sound we have been after for a while..." and Beaton continues the music is "still deeply infused with our traditional roots, but takes one step further into the indie rock realm." See full track listing on below.
