Basic Knife Skills
Learn basic knife skills in this video from EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY magazine, plus get tricks and tips on the best way to cut, chop, slice and dice. From our collection of Step by Step cooking videos.
-Hi, I'm Tracey Seaman, the food editor here at Everyday with Rachel Ray Magazine, and today I'm going to show you how to make some basic cuts all using your chef's knife. First, the most important thing to remember is that you have to stabilize your cutting board. So, if it's sliding around on the counter surface, just use a damp kitchen towel or a paper tower does the same trick and lay it underneath and that should hold it steady. We'll be using an 8 inch chef's knife. This come between 8 to 12 inch, and it's important to remember that the reason why the blade is curve is that you wanna cut things in a rocking motion and that will basically keep things kind of safety thing, also an ergonomic thing. In terms of the grip, wanna basically let the joint where your index finger meets your hand kind of rest on top. You've got basically these forefingers on that side and your thumb underneath stabilizing the grip, and this is pretty much a classic grip, but what's comfortable because to me that will make the safest grip for you. In terms of this hand, this is the hand you'll be using to sort of guide the knife. Depending on what cut you're doing. Sometimes, you'll be holding it up on top, but the fingers resting on top of the blade and the palm of your hand on the bottom to keep it steady and you'll be chopping back and forth like this. Other times, you'll have your fingers curved under. Be sure to have them curve down so that the blade is only touching the knuckles. Now, kind of guide the slices you work your way back with depending on what food your cutting, not just pretty much the safest way to make, just always kind of wanna work front to back. So, the first thing I'm going to show you is how to chop, which is like in recipes all rated as half an coarsely chopped or half an onion chopped and what that means is it's not a very exact type of cut. You just wanted all cut to roughly the same size so that it cooked evenly, and so with this onion, the first one we're gonna do is remove the loose paper skin, slice off a bit of the stem end. Because what you wanna do is keep the onion stable, so now it's got a flat to rest because, otherwise, it's a little bit wobbly and a little bit unsafe. So, now that it's flat, we can just take the knife, and slice straight through the root end, and we're gonna peel the outer skin. I like to peel the first layer of the onion off as well. That tends to be like the thicker part of the skin. I don't really like it. So, remove that first layer, and what we're gonna do next is just sort of slice off the stem end, and then from here, you're just gonna keep your fingers curled under, so we're gonna start slicing through just about 3/4 of an inch, gonna regroup it all together. You wanna keep all the parts evenly size and there you go, got coarsely chopped onion. So, we're gonna set this aside, and when scraping these together, be sure to use the back of the knife. If you scrape with the front blade of your knife, it tends to dull the blade and this isn't a good idea. So, the next thing I'm gonna show you how to do is how to finely chop, and you read this in recipes frequently as one clove of garlic finely chopped and what that means is just wanna cut into really, really tiny pieces so that quickly and evenly, and so I'm gonna remove the paper husk of the garlic and just going to cut like 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, and so the first thing we're gonna do is remove the skin of the garlic and I'm sure you guys have seen this before, but for those of you who haven't, this is so incredibly easy. You don't wanna sit there and try to peel it off. It takes forever with garlic clove and all you can do is just put it underneath the blade of the knife and give it a good whack and remove the skin, and we're gonna bring the garlic together. If you've got any of these tough bits be sure to remove those and just gonna cut those guys off. That's it. And from here, we're just going to start cutting up the garlic. One thing that was always really important to have, a really sharp chef's knife that's safety. Number one, it will keep it from slipping and two, it will just help you to just right though as opposed to having exert pressure from the top down, and this one of those cuts where you're going to wanna keep rest your fingers on top of the blade with your palm on the bottom that kind of guide the blade as it rocks back and forth, and so we're just gonna start finely chopping these cloves of garlic, bring it all back together with the back of the knife. Just keep cutting it over and over again until all the pieces have been finely chopped and are about the same size. Herbs are another great thing that you can finely chop and use them to scatter over pasta, on top of pizzas, your favorite potato salad. You can see that it's all very finely chopped, and next I'm gonna show you how to thinly slice. For this, we're gonna keep our hands the same position, which is the with fingertip curled under, with the palm of the hand holding it steady and you're gonna wanna slice for. It's the slicing motion that will cut through without having to exert too much pressure, and there we go, we've got nice thin slices, gonna show to cut potato into cubes, and again, this is one of those things which a little bit wobbly, so just to be safe, we're gonna thinly slice one side off, and so that keeps it stable, and then we're gonna cut it lengthwise into planks and I'm gonna go for ¾-inch cubes too. And so how you control the size of the cubes is that for each incision at this point you may agree to slice just wanna kind of measured out, and this looks like it's about ¾ inches and just gonna slice downward, and then keep the top of the knife straight. That will help you sort of guide the cut to know that you're going upright and it will stay nice and even throughout the slice. And here we're gonna cut each plank lengthwise again into another ¾ inch slice and work with an amount of potato that feels manageable. You don't wanna try to all these at the same time. You grab a few of these and turn them perpendicular and then make another ¾ inch incision or cut. Another trick if you wanna keep all the cubes like perfectly square. You can line all the pieces up and use your blade as a guide and then from here just give it a quick slice to cut up all the-- like the pointed ends, get rid of those guys, and then from here, start cutting again, and now you've got ¾-inch cubes. All right, so the next step I'm gonna show is how to make thin sticks, and we use those phrase a lot when we're doing quick stir fries or salad and just basically cutting in this case vegetables into like thin matchstick size pieces, and the easiest thing I've learn is and we'll never in this carrot pretty steady. Otherwise, it's a little bit wobbly. You wanna do that same technique where you sort of slice off one end to keep it on a flat plane, but the easiest way to deal with things like this to cut it into segments, so that you're only working with the 3-inch piece. I like starting from the thickest part of the carrots, so that we got the most evenly sliced sticks, so I'm gonna go. We'll whack up the top end of the carrot and then you're gonna cut it into 3-inch pieces and again just keep stable and gonna cut off a piece, and from here we're gonna use the same method that we used when cutting cubes just first cut them into planks. Because we're cutting them into thin sticks, we just kind of wanna make thin slices, and carrots is dense so required a little bit more effort, but as you can see if you slice forward, it will still go through. Once you got to the point where it's a little bit wobbly, I like to just turn on onto the flat surface, so that again, you got stable surface to work of it and just keep cutting and get rid of that pieces uneven. So, you've got these planks. We're gonna cut lengthwise again, the thin sticks, and again, this is one of those methods where you want your fingers Curled underneath to protect them. Also, every time I slice through, I'm moving it back slowly just to sort of help guide my knife to know how thick the next slice is going to be. I like cutting thinks like apples and cut pnto thin slices for like a quick slide. You can do this with cabbage, obviously carrots, and pretty much the same that's dense, and same with potatoes, if you wanna cut them into French fries or sweet potato fries, and so here we've got think sticks. You can make them bigger if you want, just start with like-- The first cut that lengthwise just keep thicker, so I'm gonna set this aside. Last type of cut is how to slice something into rounds. This is a zucchini, and this is great for cutting up cucumbers like if you wanna dip, you know, use cucumbers in dip. On radishes, if you wanna thinly slice radishes into rounds for using a salad, and just to kind of show you how to stabilize. You can begin thinly slice off a little piece just to keep it stable and this is the same grip with the fingers curled underneath and we're going to thinly slice this into rounds, something like this, so just to review all the cuts I've shown you today. Here we've got some coarsely chopped onion, finely chopped garlic, cubes the potato, some thin sticks of carrots, also known as julienne as you might read in a few recipes, thin slices of onion and rounds zucchini. So, you've learned all the basic knife skills today and hopefully you'll go home and try them yourself.

The word doctors use to describe the reason she was born so early was almost longer than she was: "pre-eclampsia."
Karlei didn't have it; her mother, Wendi, did.
"It's pregnancy induced," Goodwin says, "and it can be fatal."
The BBC series "Downton Abbey" brought the relatively obscure condition into the public eye.
The only cure, her specialist in Corpus Christi said, "was to deliver her baby."
The problem, of course, was that she had been pregnant for only 24 weeks. But the doctors had no choice. Goodwin's liver was so enlarged it was pushing up into her chest.
"The doctor told me he had to induce labor, or I would die," she says. "Your organs begin to shut down."
A year removed, she admits that she had a hunch something was going wrong with her pregnancy. "I know my own body, and I knew something wasn't right."
She went to the emergency room at Christus Spohn Hospital on Dec. 23, where doctors discovered her blood pressure was so high they feared any kind of excitement or stimulation would lead to a stroke.
"There was no other option but to have the baby," says Goodwin, remembering her emotions a year ago which came with running out of choices. "If I didn't deliver the baby, I would die, and so would she. If I delivered her, she might die, but I would live."
Christus Spohn transferred her by ambulance to Bay Area Hospital in Corpus Christi. She arrived three hours after midnight.
"I was terribly emotional," Goodwin says, "and hyper. I wanted the nurses to turn on the television."
Doctors, cognizant of her high blood pressure, ordered her to sleep, instead. They said she had to give birth within the next 24 hours.
At 3:15 p.m. Christmas Eve, Wendi's recovery began, and Karlei's fight for life was just beginning.
"She was so tiny her eyelids were still fused," Goodwin says. "Her hand was no larger than the end of my husband James' finger.
"I remember praying, 'if you are going to take her, take her now. Don't let me get attached to my baby.'"
Wendi stayed in the hospital for a week; Karlei stayed in the hospital for 134 days.
Such a lengthy time fosters relationships not normally the case in maternity wards. All the nurses who tended Karlei now are Facebook friends with Wendi.
Finally, doctors felt the latest addition to the Goodwin family could go home. But not until Wendi and James could prove to them they were ready.
They were expected to enroll in CPR classes. The hospital provided a room where the couple could practice what they were expected to do when Karlei came home.
"The first two months were extremely hard," she says. At first, she was on a three-hour feeding schedule. "It took an hour to feed and change her, so I was up every two hours."
Today, a year later, Karlei weighs 11 1/2 pounds. But, she is still diminutive for her age. She wears zero to three clothing. Doctors expect her to catch up by the time she's 3 years old.
"They actually say that mentally, she is advanced for her age."
Glancing down at Karlei, growing restless, but eyes bright with excitement, she adds:
"She's also a wiggle-worm."

- Abstract
- We present the discovery and phase-coherent timing of four highly dispersed millisecond pulsars (MSPs) from the Arecibo PALFA Galactic plane survey: PSRs J1844+0115, J1850+0124, J1900+0308, and J1944+2236. Three of the four pulsars are in binary systems with low-mass companions, which are most likely white dwarfs, and which have orbital periods on the order of days. The fourth pulsar is isolated. All four pulsars have large dispersion measures (DM >100 pc cm–3), are distant (3.4 kpc), faint at 1.4 GHz ( 0.2 mJy), and are fully recycled (with spin periods P between 3.5 and 4.9 ms). The three binaries also have very small orbital eccentricities, as expected for tidally circularized, fully recycled systems with low-mass companions. These four pulsars have DM/P ratios that are among the highest values for field MSPs in the Galaxy. These discoveries bring the total number of confirmed MSPs from the PALFA survey to 15. The discovery of these MSPs illustrates the power of PALFA for finding weak, distant MSPs at low-Galactic latitudes. This is important for accurate estimates of the Galactic MSP population and for the number of MSPs that the Square Kilometer Array can be expected to detect.

Wyoming QB Brett Smith will enter 2014 NFL DraftUniversity of Wyoming junior quarterback Brett Smith has decided he will declare for the upcoming NFL Draft and forego his senior season at Wyoming. He informed University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman of his decision late Friday afternoon. "After much consideration, I have decided to forgo my senior season at UW to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the National Football League," said Smith. "Wyoming has been such a special place for me and my family, and will always hold a special place in my heart."I'm so thankful to have played with such great guys over the past three years. I have so much respect for Coach (Craig) Bohl and know that we will be very successful at Wyoming. I appreciate him coming out and meeting with me and my family this past weekend and talking with us about his vision for the future of Cowboy Football. "I thank my teammates, coaches, Wyoming Athletics and most of all the fans for three special years. I'll never forget you guys. I'll forever be a Cowboy." University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman confirmed that new Wyoming Head Coach Craig Bohl and incoming Wyoming offensive coordinator Brent Vigen both traveled to Oregon and Washington the weekend of Dec. 21 and 22 to visit both Smith and redshirt sophomore quarterback Jason Thompson and talk with them about the future of Cowboy Football.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is known for berating cooks on his "Kitchen Nightmares" TV show. Now he's putting his name on this toaster for Kmart. "everybody needs a few ideas for a quick dinner up their sleeve." And the Food Network, with its celebrity chefs, is putting its name on this toaster sold at Kohl's. Consumer Reports tested these toasters along with dozens of others. "We found it's actually not so easy to find a toaster that turns out evenly browned toast." Testers evaluate how well a toaster makes light toast as well as dark. They test whether the pieces of toast come out evenly. And testers check to see if successive batches produced the same color toast. Gordon Ramsay's toaster didn't do well. Dan DiClerico "These slices of toast are pretty dark. This is the worst toaster in our ratings." And the Food Network's toaster wasn't great at making multiple batches either. Then there's the Nostalgia Electrics Egg'n'Muffin Toaster that lets you cook bacon or fry an egg while it toasts. Dan DiClerico "Unfortunately, the Nostalgia's griddle is pretty slow. It took more than ten minutes to fry bacon and cook eggs." When all the tests were done, this 80-dollar Cuisinart topped the ratings. It consistently delivered evenly toasted bread with the push of a button. For much less, this Hamilton Beach is a Best Buy for 35 dollars. While it has fewer features, it rated excellent for toasting evenly. ."

Four U.S. troops fighting with the NATO-led alliance were killed in another suspected "insider" attack in southern Afghanistan. NBC's Atia Abawi reports.
Updated at 12:05 p.m. ET: Four U.S. soldiers fighting with the NATO-led alliance were killed in an apparent insider shooting in southern Afghanistan on Sunday, the Pentagon confirmed.
A Pentagon spokesman did not have further details, including which branch of services the Americans belonged to, Reuters reported.
The shooting took place in Zabol, a southern province where U.S. forces are based, and came a day after two British soldiers were shot dead by an Afghan policeman while returning from a patrol in southern Helmand province — a stronghold of the Taliban-led insurgency.
Local authorities also told NBC News that the four killed were Americans.
An International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) statement described the incident as "an insider attack suspected to involve members of the Afghan police."
What's leading Afghan troops to turn on coalition forces?
One attacker who was wearing an Afghan National Police uniform (ANP) was also killed in the fighting, a source told Reuters.
At least 51 foreign military personnel have been killed in "insider" attacks this year, attacks which have put a heavy strain on trust between the coalition and Afghanistan as they move towards handing security responsibility to Afghan forces by the end of 2014.
- Two NATO soldiers killed by gunman thought to be Afghan police officer
- Deadly week for US in Afghanistan
- Two US Marines killed in attack on NATO base
- US suspends training for some Afghan recruits after 'insider' attacks
The rise in such attacks has led to the training of new recruits to the Afghan army and police being suspended.
The Taliban indicates that deadly attacks on U.S. personnel in Afghanistan were in response to an anti-Islam video. NBC's Atia Abawi reports.
With foreign combat troops withdrawing from the increasingly unpopular and expensive war, the enormous cultural divide that still separates Afghans and their allies after 11 years of conflict has become more of a concern than ever.
The NATO-led coalition and its Afghan counterparts have created a special Joint Casualties Assessment Team to investigate every attack, which number at least 37 this year.
In more than half of cases, attackers are either killed or escape and the motive never emerges, making it more difficult for the coalition to stem the surge.
Adding to the toll of coalition deaths caused by insider attacks over the weekend, two were killed and nine wounded in Friday's attack on Camp Bastion, one of the worst attacks on a NATO-operated base all year.
Six Harrier jets were destroyed and two were significantly damaged in the raid on the camp airfield, carried out by 15 insurgents wearing U.S. Army uniforms and split between three teams, a NATO statement said on Sunday.
U.S. suspends training for some Afghan recruits after 'insider' attacks
Three refueling stations were destroyed and six aircraft hangars were damaged. Britain's Prince Harry was at Camp Bastion at the time of Friday's attack, but was unharmed.
US forces based at Kabul International Airport in Afghanistan take part in a memorial service marking the 11th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.
All but one of the attackers were killed, with the remaining fighter taken into custody by coalition forces.
ISAF said the attack was "well-coordinated". A statement said: "The insurgents, organized into three teams, penetrated at one point of the perimeter fence. The insurgents appeared to be well equipped, trained and rehearsed. Dressed in U.S. Army uniforms and armed with automatic rifles, rocket propelled grenade launchers and suicide vests, the insurgents attacked coalition fixed and rotary wing aircraft parked on the flight line, aircraft hangars and other buildings."

No. 15 Georgetown beats Texas 64-41
NEW YORK Otto Porter had 14 points and eight rebounds to lead No. 15 Georgetown to a 64-41 victory over Texas in the opener of the Jimmy V Classic on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.
Nate Lubick added 13 points and Markel Starks had 11 for the Hoyas, who led by 13 at halftime. The lead grew to 23 and was never less than eight in the second half.
The Hoyas (6-1), whose only loss this season was to No. 1 Indiana in overtime, scored the first nine points of the game, the last four from Lubick on layups.
Sheldon McClellan had 12 points to lead the Longhorns (5-3), who had their lowest point total under coach Rick Barnes, who took over for the 1998-99 season. Texas had won three straight after losing two in a row.
The Longhorns struggled with their shooting and turnovers throughout the first half. The Hoyas led by as many as 17 points in the first half, the last time at 30-13 on a jumper by Porter with 2:55 to go.
Georgetown was coming off a 37-36 victory over Tennessee. It was the Hoyas worst effort of the shot clock era, its lowest total since a 37-36 win over Southern Methodist in the second round of the NCAA tournament in 1985. Georgetown shot 36 percent in the game and Tennessee made 33 percent.
Texas shot 28.6 percent (8 of 28), including 1 of 6 from 3-point range in the first half against Georgetown and committed 12 turnovers that the Hoyas turned into 14 points on the way to a 30-17 halftime lead.
The shooting was almost as bad in the second half. Texas, which came in averaging 64.4 points per game, finished 6 of 20 (30 percent) from the field in the second half and was 14 of 48 (29.2 percent) overall. The Longhorns were 2 of 13 from 3-point range.
Georgetown shot 41 percent ( 25 of 61) for the game but the Hoyas made only 4 of 18 from beyond the arc.
Texas again played without 6-foot-1 guard Myck Kabongo because of an ongoing NCAA eligibility investigation.
It was just the second meeting between the programs. Texas beat Georgetown 78-70 on Jan.8, 1972, in Austin.
No. 3 Michigan 73, Western Michigan 41
ANN ARBOR, Mich. Trey Burke had 20 points and seven assists, and No. 3 Michigan eased past Western Michigan for a 73-41 victory Tuesday night.
The Wolverines (8-0) had actually lost their previous two games against the Broncos, but that was more than a decade ago. Western Michigan (6-2) had won six straight coming into this game, including a victory over South Florida, but the Broncos wasted a chance to stay with the Wolverines, turning the ball over 13 times in the first half.
Nik Stauskas scored 11 points for Michigan, and fellow freshman Mitch McGary added 10 on 5-of-5 shooting.
Freshman Darius Paul had 10 points and 10 rebounds for Western Michigan.
It marks Michigans first 8-0 start since 1996-97.
The Wolverines werent all that sharp offensively, especially early, but Western Michigan couldnt take advantage. The Broncos committed several fouls at the offensive end in the first half, and Michigan led 25-15 after a layup by Glenn Robinson III. Jordan Morgan pushed the lead to a dozen with a layup of his own, and it was 35-21 at halftime.
The Wolverines put the game away early in the second half. Stauskas made a 3-pointer to make it 45-28, and Robinson and Burke added old-fashioned three-point plays to make it a 23-point game.
It was 51-34 before Michigan padded the margin with a 22-2 run. A 3-pointer by Tim Hardaway Jr. made it 66-36, and Burke connected moments later from beyond the arc.
For much of the night, Michigan threatened its worst shooting percentage of the season, but the Wolverines actually ended up right at 50 percent. It was the Broncos who really went through a nightmare at the offensive end, shooting 29 percent from the field, going 2 of 17 from 3-point range and finishing with 18 turnovers.
Michigan was coming off a bit of a test last weekend, when the Wolverines won 74-66 at Bradley. Theyll face another interesting nonconference matchup when Arkansas visits Ann Arbor on Saturday.
Paul was the only Western Michigan player in double figures, and he shot 3 of 12. The Broncos winning streak may have been a bit deceptive, with the last three victories coming by a combined 10 points.MORE IN Sports WireOXON HILL, Md.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Ladysmith Black Mambazo
A South African institution, Lady Black Mambazo sparks a gentle fire to stir passions and lift sunken spirits. The all-male a cappella group began back in the early '60s, when Joseph Shabalala infused sacred vocal harmonies with the secular song and dance styles of South African folk traditions. But it wasn't until 1986 that they broke through to a mass audience, as part of Paul Simon's era-defining Graceland project. Since then, Ladysmith Black Mambazo has become known as a global ambassador for post-apartheid South Africa. Ladysmith is dedicated to making sure that young South Africans don't lose sight of isicathamiya, the traditional Zulu style featuring gorgeous voices, mouth percussion and cascading melodies accompanied by graceful choreography. The group has been nominated for a stunning 13 Grammy Awards and won three, as recently as 2009. Ladysmith is a true phenomenon that has come to be synonymous with "world" music.

I have heard that breastmilk aids a bit in regulating appetite in babies . . . . .
I'm wondering if it can have a really significant effect cause I have noticed that on the days where my 12 week old baby gets a lot of formula she is like insatiable . . . . . she will eat 4 ounces and want another 2 ounces like an hour later!
When she is on breastmilk all day, she seems satisfied with 2-3 oz. and can go another few hours until she eats again. I thought that it was supposed to be the other way around (that breastfed babies eat more frequently because it digests quicker).
Also, baby has many less wet diapers on breastmilk . . . When she has formula she SOAKS through diapers so fast, but on breastmilk she wets much less (almost as frequently, but just much less of it).
Just curious if this sounds normal . . . . . . ?

Brad Foss: The Associated Press
Hurricane Katrina's economic toll continues to mount — its cost evident in near-record energy prices, snarled shipping traffic, lost jobs and wrecked businesses. But nearly two weeks after landfall, its impact is shaping up as one of extremes.
There are many losers, most notably the 400,000 who have lost their jobs, many of whom are also homeless. But, as businesses rush in to claim their role in rebuilding and the commerce that once belonged to the Gulf region shifts elsewhere, there are also economic beneficiaries.
"The relief money is coming in much faster than it has for any other natural disaster that I can remember. That should help minimize some of the hit on consumer spending," said Mark Vitner, an economist with Wachovia Corp. But "corporate profits are going to come under pressure as (businesses) pay more for raw materials and energy, yet are unable to pass along these higher costs to consumers," he said.
The hurricane caused at least $125 billion in economic damage and could cost the insurance industry up to $60 billion in claims, Risk Management Solutions of Newark, Calif., said in an updated estimate on Friday. That's significantly higher than the previous record-setting storm, Hurricane Andrew in 1992, which caused nearly $21 billion in insured losses in today's dollars.
Airlines plagued by high jet-fuel prices are on the brink of bankruptcy and the industry is now seeking $600 million in tax relief from Washington. Consumers in many regions are still paying more than $3 a gallon for gasoline and home heating costs are expected to soar this winter. Contractors around the country are paying more for lumber and cement as building materials are diverted to Louisiana and Mississippi.
The extra energy tab to U.S. consumers could reach $140 billion over the next year, according to economist Keith Hembre at U.S. Bancorp Asset Management. "The historical pattern is for shocks of this nature to initially be absorbed roughly equally between lower savings and lower purchases for other goods and services," Hembre said.
The storm is expected to lop off from 0.5 to 1 percentage point from U.S. gross domestic product in the second half of 2005 and about half that amount in 2006. In Europe and Asia, financial leaders warn that surging energy prices could stunt growth.
Yet, hotels outside the regions damaged by Katrina are benefiting as business conventions are relocated. Steel makers expect a short-term lift from the massive reconstruction. And oil and gas producers — in spite of damage to rigs and refineries — are reaping huge sums.
Thanks to Congress' quick approval of $62.3 billion in federal disaster aid, economists say the immediate financial consequences may not be as dire as originally feared — though, longer term, they worry about the dent Katrina will leave on the federal budget.
Executives at Marriott International said in a conference call on Wednesday that conventions and meetings are being relocated from New Orleans to Washington, Chicago and New York. Moreover, once basic services are restored to New Orleans, the company anticipates demand from insurance adjustors and federal relief workers.
"From a financial perspective, it is a positive, as unfortunate as the tragedy is," said Robert McCarty, the company's executive vice president.
The trucking industry has had a similar bump in demand tied to Katrina. Schneider National of Green Bay, Wis., saw its truckloads increase by 13 percent last week and the Federal Emergency Management Agency in some cases paid for roundtrips to quickly get supplies to the Gulf Coast.
That said, the rapid increase in diesel prices has put smaller trucking companies out of business and has hurt the industry's overall profit margins. "There's always a lag in how you recover these costs," said Dave Geyer, a vice president at Schneider.

Jordy Nelson knew what was coming next. The ball hadn't even crash-landed on the Don Hutson Center FieldTurf, and Nelson already knew what Jeff Janis was in for.
It was early on in Monday's practice, and Janis, the Green Bay Packers' promising rookie seventh-round wide receiver, was coming off an NFL preseason debut that had seen him score on a 34-yard catch-and-run in the team's victory at St. Louis. That touchdown, from backup Matt Flynn, had merely been an extension of the big play-per-day training camp Janis had had after missing the first week because of a bout with shingles.
But virtually all of Janis' snaps to that point had come with Flynn, Scott Tolzien or Chase Rettig at quarterback, and now, in the first 11-on-11 period of practice, he was playing with Aaron Rodgers and the first-string offense.
On his first play, Janis ran a go route from the right side. He took an inside release off the line of scrimmage, but with the call and the coverage dictating that he get outside the numbers and closer to the sideline, Janis stayed inside as Rodgers threw the ball to where he was supposed to be.
"I knew it honestly right when he did it," Nelson said with a knowing smile.
Rodgers' reaction was one of unmasked annoyance and frustration. When his set of reps for that period ended, he walked up to Janis and told him what he'd done wrong. The conversation was brief, the point was made quickly. Wide receivers coach Edgar Bennett added his $.02, too.
"I think at some point you have to let these guys know that performance is so important in the preseason, but if you want to make this team, you have to perform when you're with the first-string," Rodgers explained Tuesday. "There's really a couple offenses. There's the offense on paper, and then there's the offense the way the first-team runs it. You have to be able to be non-robotic when you're out there, have quick reactions, and see the game the way I do and the way our offense runs most efficiently.
"I'm going to hold those guys to a high standard when they're out there with us, and we're trying to round out that group right now, so the guys that are going to be able to emerge and separate themselves are the guys that are going to be able to make the proper adjustments and run the routes the way that I want them to and the way Edgar wants them to. Because, if you're going to be the fourth or fifth or sixth receiver on this team, you're going to get a chance to play with me in the regular season."
And for Rodgers, that's a matter of trust. If he can't count on you to be where you're supposed to be, if he doesn't think you'll make the right adjustment or correct read, then, frankly, he doesn't want you on the field with him. Right now, none of the young receivers, from second-round pick Davante Adams on down the depth chart, has earned that trust.
"Some people think you get what you tolerate. I like to look at it like you get what you demand," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday. "There's definitely a standard that's been set."
Harsh? Perhaps. But because they deal with arguably the two most demanding people in the building – Rodgers and Bennett – on a daily basis, the receivers understand it's just the way it is.
"Certainly our relationship, we are very demanding and we want the very best. We're both competitive," Bennett said of his relationship with Rodgers. "We know what it's supposed to look like and what goes into that. And the hunger – not being satisfied, not being complacent – that's important. He wants to be great. We want to be great. And we've got to push those guys in that room to be great. Because again, you talk about standards, well, that's the standard. That's what's expected. Not meeting those standards is going to be addressed."
Although, not always in the same way. At the start of camp, tight end Brandon Bostick ran the wrong route during a red-zone drill, resulting in an incompletion. Rodgers chewed him out upon his return to the huddle – and then threw the very next pass to him for a touchdown, which was followed by praise from the quarterback.
"I was down for a little bit [after the incompletion] and then he came back to me," Bostick explained. "So it was definitely a confidence-booster. He said, 'Be more focused next time and you won't have that problem.'"
Rodgers learned early lessons on leadership as a freshman quarterback at Butte College, where one of his teachers, Russ Critchfield, taught him the importance of understanding that different players need different buttons pushed. But that doesn't change what you demand from them; it simply means you need to deliver the message in different ways.
"If you're not in the place you're supposed to be when he's expecting you to be there, you're going to mess up him, you're going to mess up our offense, you're going to throw things off," said wide receiver Randall Cobb, who ran the wrong route as a rookie in the 2011 regular-season opener against New Orleans – but still got the pass from Rodgers and turned it into his first NFL touchdown.
"If they want to be on the field, they have to understand that. When it comes down to it, he's our guy, he's going to be out there, he wants the guys that he can trust out there – the guys that he knows are going to be in the place they're supposed to. Just being able to communicate with him and understand what he wants from us is big for receivers."
Asked if he ever got on Rodgers' bad side with such mistakes, Cobb laughed.
"Oh yeah. All the time," he said. "You just have to continue to work and do everything you can. Of course there were growing pains. I don't think it was until my second year that I actually had his trust.
"I know there were times when he probably hated having me on the field. Like, 'Why do they have this guy out here?' But that's how it goes. It takes time. It's not something that can happen overnight, it's something that grows over the course of years."
Nelson, who is one of Rodgers' best friends and carpools with him to Austin Straubel International Airport for road games, has been there, too.
"Sometimes it comes off the wrong way, but I think of something I learned a long time ago – 'You've got to take what they're saying, not how they're saying it,'" Nelson said. "I think sometimes if he saw himself, he wouldn't like it. But it's the way he is. He demands perfection. And that's the way he demands it. So you learn to deal with it, you learn to accept it, and you want it.
"I don't mind it. Sometimes it looks bad, and I think he would acknowledge that, too. But that's how he is, and that might be why he is where he is right now and why we perform the way we do as a team."
Nelson said Rodgers will usually pull players aside after chastising them, whether it's in the meeting room or locker room afterward or following practice on the way back to the facility. But that doesn't change the expectations for the next day.
"It's really all about one thing. It's about mental preparation," Rodgers said. "The physical mistakes can happen. There's going to be drops at times. We're not quite going to be on the same page every single time, but if you cannot line up right, if you can't get the checks and if you can't get what you're supposed to do every time – then there's no way you can possibly be on the field when I'm out there.

I was an English major back in college. Basically, that means when I wasn't growing my hair or drinking, I was reading, thinking, and writing. It was fantastic. Especially at my school, which, despite its solid reputation, had an English program that placed absolutely no emphasis on researching historical context or referencing previously published literary analysis. You could just read and spin your wheels. It was the perfect program for me. There is more substantiation and footnoting (hyperlinking) in the average Cracked article than there was in our English papers, and that's the way we liked it. We loved it. And I miss it so.
I know it's getting old, but I can't get out of that provision in my Cracked contract requiring me to put college photos in every third column. Sorry.
It's been over 15 years since I last wrote something approximating an English essay, and the other day, I got an idea for one. Not on a book, of course, because who would be so bold as to write about literature on the Internet, but a movie. Specifically, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Now here's how English essays work. You come up with a thesis. That's a theory. Then you point to specific examples within the context of the examined work to prove your point. Then you have a conclusion. If you write an essay for the Internet, however, and you want people to read it, you number your points, keep the conclusion super short, and write an introduction no one reads. You just hope the title conveys enough of the message, which is kind of like hoping to understand the complex rules of Risk by staring only at the cover of the box.
Wait, so how do I amass an army in the Ivory Coast?
Anyway, here's my thesis:
Raiders of the Lost Ark is not an action-adventure movie about an archaeologist who plays by his own rules and saves the day. Instead, the film is an exploration of Marion Ravenwood's crippling drug addiction. An addiction that was born from her unhealthy relationship and continued association with Indiana Jones.
Is it true? Who cares. Can I prove it? Well, not proof in the sense of research or evidence -- proof only so far as crafting an internally consistent argument, relying solely upon the clues within the movie.
4 Marion in Nepal
For those of you unfamiliar with the movie, stop reading, because there's no point. Then kill yourself. There's no point to your life either as you're clearly living it wrong. Never saw Raiders of the Lost Ark? Seriously?
Anyway, if you've forgotten, Marion Ravenwood is Indiana Jones' former lover and the daughter of his mentor. By the start of the movie, it's been 10 years since they've last seen each other. A lot of the background research indicates that their relationship was probably wildly improper. Like pedophilic improper, considering that Indiana Jones is arguably 10 years older and first knew her when he was a grad student. But like I said in the introduction you didn't read, this is not an essay about research and nailing down details outside of the work itself. All we know for certain is that Indiana is an older man; his mentor, Professor Abner Ravenwood, hates him because of the relationship; and Marion tells Indiana Jones he "knew it was wrong." Oh, one more thing: We know that Indiana Jones is a dick because his reply to all of this when they see each other again is "I did what I did. You don't have to like it."
That brings us to Nepal, where Marion owns a bar and seems to have a serious drinking problem. She appears to be at the worst level of alcoholism where the addict doesn't even feel the effects of alcohol. How else can she knock back close to 20 shots with seemingly no effect?
Marion downs enough booze to kill three men (or the one giant behemoth of a man she's bested), and when it's over, she kicks everyone out of her bar without thinking twice. She commands respect from the ruffians. But it only takes one man to reduce her to a little girl. The shadow of her lost love hangs over her addiction.
Nice, right?
This was no summertime fling gone wrong. This unholy union was capable of creating something darker than the destruction of the relationship between a mentor and his favorite student. Marion says, near tears, "Do you know what you did to me? To my life?" More than a broken heart. Indiana is the source of her physical addiction. Indeed, I would offer that Indiana is not only the indirect cause of her chemical dependencies -- via the broken heart she nurses with drugs -- but perhaps directly responsibility for her addiction. The one who got her hooked in the first place.
He enters, and her first reaction is to light a cigarette:
And then trouble strikes with Nazis and thugs seeking the headpiece for the Staff of Ra. While Marion seemed perfectly capable of dealing with a tough crowd moments earlier, with Indiana around, she is now quite literally down on the floor, crawling on her hands and knees. What's worse, while she was arguably only drinking for sport at the start of the scene, now she desperately seeks out booze, even in the midst of fighting for her survival.
3 Marion in Cairo
The two travel to Cairo, and, at first, things seem to be improving. Marion looks renewed as she explores Sallah's home in a new white outfit. But this is the first of several failed attempts at redemption. In fact, things are about to get much worse. Even in this scene, she is still drinking. Think about it: When's the last time you've seen an actress (not in a movie about drinking to excess) drinking in two consecutive scenes set on different days?
Marion's alcoholism, however, doesn't stop Sallah from checking out her ass.
But now that Indy's back in her life, the old addictions will return and her dependency will escalate. Marion's addictions go from alcohol to heroin. This escalation is shown symbolically, making use of the classic expression for heroin addiction of "having a monkey on your back."
First the monkey spills Marion's wine.
Then he literally gets on her back.
What happens next is even more startling. Marion has reclaimed the old heroin high she first experienced with Indy as a young girl. And now, amid that chemical euphoria, she and Indy smile at each other for the first time in the movie.
But that euphoric first high fades quickly. It becomes readily apparent that once again heroin will be Marion's downfall, perhaps leaving her stranded in some random armpit of the world all over again. Nazis pursue Indy and Marion, and for a moment it seems that Marion will successfully elude them, cleverly hidden in a wicker basket. Her addiction, however, betrays her and leads to her discovery.
Yeah, it's hard to sit still in a basket when you're dying for a fix.

In last week's article, we installed the Webmin utility; this week, I want to start by configuring Webmin for secure access, then take a peek at some of the powerful features that come with the Webmin modules.
Open up your web browser and type in the URL you use to access your Webmin server. Once you've been authenticated, you should see this screen in your web browser.
By the way, most of the screenshots I'm using come from Joe Cooper's Webmin User's Guide. Joe's site is well worth reading through if you want to learn more about using Webmin. The rest of the screenshots are from Webmin's homepage.
Let's start with the "Webmin Configuration" hyperlink. This is where you'll be able to configure most of the additional security measures, which will be especially useful if you are accessing your Webmin server over the Internet. You'll want to poke about yourself, but here's a quick summary of the security related options:
IP Access Control: If you always access your Webmin server from the same computer or group of computers, you can tell Webmin to only accept connections from that/those computer/s. The default is to accept connections from any computer in the world that happens to know your IP address or FQDN and Webmin port number.
Port and Address: If your computer has more than one IP address, Webmin will bind its port to all IP addresses, meaning it will be listening for requests on all the NICs on the computer hosting the Webmin server. If you don't want it to do that, you can tell Webmin which IP address to listen on. For example, if your Webmin server has an interface connected to your LAN and another interface connected to the Internet, you can use this screen to only bind the Webmin port to the NIC attached to your LAN. This will restrict Webmin access to computers from within your LAN. Also, if you ever want to change the listening port number, this is where you do it.
Logging: It is always good practice to log connections, and then take the time to actually read the logs. By doing this, you will know if anyone other than yourself is trying to access your Webmin server. By default, logging is disabled; use this screen to enable it. Note the location of the log files. You may want to create a cron job to mail the log to the root user account on a daily basis.
Proxy Servers: If your Webmin server is located behind a firewall, you may need to configure the IP address of the firewall in order for users to access certain modules on your Webmin server.
SSL Encryption: If you didn't install Webmin with SSL support, this is where you can enable this support if you later decide to. Again, this is strongly recommended if you are accessing Webmin over the Internet.
Note: If you ever screw up your configuration and are no longer able to access your Webmin server, all is not lost. Become the superuser on the computer running Webmin, look for and then edit the offending configuration in the
/usr/local/etc/webmin/miniserv.conf file.
Now, let's "Return to index" and click on the "Webmin Users" link. You should see something like this, with the user you created next to a listing of all the Webmin modules that user is allowed to access. If you ever decide to give another user access to your Webmin server, you have very fine control over what that user will be able to view and modify. For example, if you click on the "Sendmail Configuration" link, you can specify which configuration files that user can modify, and whose e-mail he is allowed to read.
If you spend some time clicking on the modules in this section, you'll get an idea of what you're capable of doing to the FreeBSD computer running the Webmin server. Aren't you glad you created a non-intuitive username and hard to guess password, and you're reading the logs of all connection attempts?
Now let's see what type of work we can do from the Webmin interface. Return to the index and click on the "System" tab, which should give you something like this. Let's start by clicking on the "Software Packages" link. You should receive the graphical equivalent of the
pkg_info command. Now click on one of your packages to read its description and the date it was installed. Those who've been around FreeBSD for a while may not be impressed, as this is the equivalent of
cd-ing into that port's directory and doing a
more pkg/DESCR. Try clicking on the "List Files" button. Ever install a port and wonder where it put everything and what all it created on your FreeBSD system? Wonder no more, as you now have a list of all the files that were installed with that port, as well as their locations, size, and ownership.
Once you're finished poking about, return to the index and click on the "Running Processes" hyperlink. This is just a graphical output of the
ps command, but I love its layout. All running processes can be sorted by PID, user, memory, and CPU. If you sort by PID, you'll receive a tree-like structure, with every child process slightly to the right of its parent process. Each process has a hyperlink to further details about that process. If you need to send a signal to a process, you can click on the TERM button to choose the type of signal. (Do a
man 1 kill to learn more about signals -- and never kill a process if you don't know what that process does).
Return to the index and click on the "Scheduled Cron Jobs" hyperlink to see something like this. You will receive a listing of all users' cronjobs. You can edit and create new cronjobs using this interface. If you are a visual person, you may find it easier to click on the desired time slots rather than remembering where to place the right number in
vi using the
crontab utility.
Return to the index and click on "Users and Groups." If you haven't yet figured out what users and groups get installed with FreeBSD, here's your chance to see them all. Click on an existing user to see their details. Note that you can change a user's login shell or home directory and set password restrictions and account expiry from this screen. Go back a screen and click on "Create a new user." You have more options in this screen than in the equivalent
/stand/sysinstall screen.
The last link I want to look at in the System tab is "System Logs." If you click on this link, you'll get a listing of all your system logs and their locations. If you click on one of the logs, you can set its logging facilities and priorities. Even handier, you can click the "View logfile" button. It will display the last 20 lines by default, but you can change this by typing in another number and pressing the "Refresh" button.
Return to the Index and click on the "Servers" tab. This is where you'll see that Webmin is a utility you can grow into as you learn more about your FreeBSD system. As you learn how to build and administer Apache Web servers, BIND DNS servers, MySQL database servers, Samba servers, and Squid proxy servers, you'll have a nice GUI interface to access their configuration files either locally or remotely. None of the servers I just mentioned are built by default, but they can all be added using FreeBSD's ports collection.
I would like you to click on the hyperlink for "Sendmail Configuration," as a working Sendmail server is installed with your FreeBSD system. You should get a screenful of configuration hyperlinks; however, you won't want to muck about with these unless you know what you're doing. For now, you might just want to take note that each hyperlink is much more user-friendly than the sendmail configuration file.
The hyperlink I'd like to look at is the one labeled "User Mailboxes." When you click on this link, you'll receive a table showing all users and how much mail (in bytes) is in their mailbox. Very handy to see which users on your system aren't deleting their mail. If you click on a user, you will see all of their e-mail messages. You can click on a message to read, reply, forward, or delete it. This could provide a very handy way for users to access their e-mail from a browser on any computer with an Internet connection. It would just be a matter of creating another username and password to the Webmin server, and removing that user from all modules except "Sendmail Configuration" in the "Webmin Users" link under the "Webmin" tab. Don't forget to change all the default yes-es to no-s and only give them permission to read their own e-mail.
Let's return to the Index and click on the "Hardware" tab. Then click on "Network Configuration," then "Network Interfaces." This screen shows your current configurations and which interfaces are configured to run at boot time. If you click on an interface, you can change its IP address, subnet mask, and toggle its status as being up or down. If you return to the "Network Configuration" screen, you'll also see hyperlinks to change your default gateway, edit
/etc/resolv.conf, and edit
/etc/hosts via a GUI screen.
Let's return to the Index and click on the "Webmin" tab and the "Webmin Configuration" hyperlink, then the "Webmin Modules" link. If you scroll down to the bottom half of the screen, you'll see all of the currently installed Webmin modules. If you see any modules that you don't plan on using, you can mark and delete them; they will no longer show up in your browser when you access the Webmin server.
You can also install new modules from this screen. If you surf over to ThirdPartyModules.com, you'll get a description of modules you can install. This site is nicely laid out, as the modules have been organized into the Webmin tabs they will be installed into. The modules themselves are very small files that end with a *.wbm extension. One of my favorite add-on modules is the "Network Utilities" module that installs into the "Networking" tab. This is how I installed it:
mkdir /usr/webmodules
In Netscape, I right-clicked the module to save it into this directory. I then went back to the "Webmin Modules" link, and clicked the ellipse (the button with
To see if it worked, I clicked on the "Networking" button, and I had a new hyperlink to click on. When I enter this screen, I get hyperlinks to the
whois, and
dig utilities, as well as a handy IPV4 subnet calculator. If I scroll down a bit further, I have the option of typing in an IP address or hostname; I can then Ping It! Trace It! Look Up! Scan It! or Dig It! Note that the
nmap utility is the only one that is not installed by default with your FreeBSD system. If you wish, you can build it from the ports collection; please keep in mind that you can get yourself into legal trouble if you
nmap hosts other than those in your own network.
Not only can you easily add modules to your Webmin server, you can also upgrade your entire Webmin server without losing your customized configurations. Go back one screen and click on the "Upgrade Webmin" hyperlink to find the screen that allows you to do this.
Hopefully this article has piqued your interest in this powerful utility. We've also covered some concepts that may be new to you. In the next few articles I want to take a deeper look at how FreeBSD manages your system log and at what processes are and how to manipulate them.

The Governors State University Charter School failed to comply
with its charter and the state's Charter Schools Law
and the Crete-Monee school district was within its rights
to revoke the charter, State Board of Education staff ruled
this week.
The Crete-Monee school district approved the request for
the charter in February of 2000 and the State Board certified
a five-year charter for the school to serve students in grades
K through 4. In January, the Crete-Monee board voted to revoke
the charter, citing several alleged violations of provisions
of that charter and Illinois' Charter Schools Law.
The GSU board appealed the revocation to the State Board,
which may overrule the school district's decision if
it finds the charter school complies with state laws and if
it is in the best interests of the students it is designed
to serve.
Representatives of the Crete-Monee district and the GSU Charter
School presented oral arguments to a hearing panel in June.
Deficiencies alleged by Crete-Monee included:
A change in the school's governance structure constituted
an unauthorized material revision of the charter's
Failure to have an audit by a CPA within 90 days of
the end of the fiscal year;
Failure to provide student achievement data, student
discipline data and a description of any revisions to
the proposed educational program; and
Failure to provide an extended-day program, foreign
language instruction, child care, preschool instruction,
a full-year program and a fine arts program as described
in the original, approved charter.
The appeals panel found that the charter school did fail
to have the audit completed within the specified time frame
(deficiency #2) and that it also did not provide numerous
programs promised by the charter that was approved (#4). The
school district and parents were told these programs would
be provided, but the charter school unilaterally decided not
to offer them due to "lack of funding."
The appeal panel only partially agreed with deficiency item
number three, concluding that the school provided achievement
data to the district and that it would be premature to conclude
it was not making reasonable progress since it has not yet
had the full length of time provided by the charter. The panel
did conclude, however, that the charter school failed to provide
a description of any revisions to the proposed educational
program before implementing such changes. The panel noted
that merely providing information to the district would not
have been sufficient to authorize substantial changes. The
charter school and the district would have needed to amend
the charter under provisions of state law.
The panel recommended that the State Superintendent deny
the appeal of the charter's revocation because the findings
under deficiencies number two and four demonstrated that the
charter school did not comply with its charter and the Charter
Schools Law.
Superintendent Respicio Vazquez recused himself from ruling
on the case because of previous professional relationships
with Governors State University staff. Vazquez asked Chief
Educational Officer Christopher Koch to review the panel's
recommendation and make the final decision on the appeal.
Koch signed the order denying the appeal July 30.
While the order may be subject to review by the courts, the
charter school can not operate after the date of the order.
Students planning to enroll will need to enroll in the appropriate
school within the Crete-Monee school district.

Maybe the idea of someone having no problem and is easily able to provide enough to for her own child and also help someone else out gets her. It happens. The same women who told me breastfeeding was harder than birth who only did it for 6 & 9 months seem a little miffed that me & DJ are having such ease around it as well as zero problems pumping that we haven't even started on solids really. I shrug it off. I equate it with those girls who can eat ANYTHING and stay slim and never hit the gym. They of course really bug me because I have to really WORK to not be overweight all the time. Same thing I think. I am sorry she was so blatently unprofessional and nasty though. I hope one of the Moderators here helps you report her. It definately sounds all bad.Originally Posted by amandalynn

Help support your Meetup
There is a need for a YOUNG group of new college grads and young professionals. There are other "20 and 30 somethings" groups but those seem to lean more towards the older end of the spectrum. If you've recently moved back from college and are missing your old friends and having trouble making new ones, this is the group for you! We will do events like happy hours, dinners, bar crawls, mini golf, volleyball, camping, trips to the lake, whirlyball, and anything else you can imagine. If you've ever wanted to go out and do something only to realize that you don't have friends you'd enjoy doing those things with, you found the purpose of this group. This is not a dating group, or a singles group, though hopefully some of you can find a special someone if you are looking. Please be mature, kind, open to meeting new people, have some education past high school, and be between the ages of 21 and 28. Invite your friends and lets prove that life after college doesn't have to suck!

Not a huge deal, but from my reading, drivers in Arizona are less likely than those in California to hit a deer.

I went to the library yesterday which probably wasn't a good idea given how tired I felt but I'm glad I did because I was able to check out "Alchemy of Illness" by Kat Duff along with another book called "Finding the Way Home: A compassionate approach to illness" by Gayle Heiss. Both look very good.
I found this passage in "Finding the Way Home" (p. 142-143):
Accepting illness is a way of making it our own. It is a creative act, unique to each individual. It requires all the curiosity, imagination, intuition, commitment, and faith necessary to any other creative endeavor. We work with what we are given and use whatever tools we can find, often discovering we have many more resources than we thought. The act of accepting illness changes not only the experience of illness; we undergo a metamorphosis as well.
Flying without Wings is an account of Arnold Beisser's life since the onset of polio at age twenty-five. It left him paralyzed from the neck down and unable to breath outside an iron lung. Beisser had just completed medical school and won a national tennis championship when "without warning my body failed me. In a few hours I was transformed from a doctor into a patient, from an athlete to a cripple. Polio ravaged me so I that I could not move. I could not stand, walk, sit, eat, drink, or even breathe by myself."
Beisser continues:
My physical world had shrunk to the small room that contained my iron lung. My field of vision was limited to the ceiling and what was reflected in the mirror on my iron lung. In the evening, when the world grew darker, my world shrank further. I could no longer see the pattern on the ceiling, and the reflection in the mirror was dim. Not until two years later, in my fourth hospitalization, could I turn my head to the side enough to look down a corridor outside my room.
One evening, lying there alone, feeling particularly hopeless and bored, I looked down the corridor wishing for, perhaps expecting, someone or something. But I saw only the darkened hallway with a few doors opening into it. There was no activity, and there were no people to be seen. My despair mounted, and I felt as though I could no longer stand it. Then, slowly, I began to see variations, shades of gray and darkness, shadows and light. The doorways opening onto the corridor formed subtle geometric patterns according to the different ways the doors were ajar. I began to look carefully and wonder at this scene that only a few moments before had depressed me so. It now seemed startlingly beautiful. My perception had shifted, my eyes miraculously refreshed. This experience was full and whole. I looked down the hallway for a long time. I think that at last I probably fell asleep, but I a not sure.
I do not know how that perception arrived, or why it left, but from then on I understood that what I sought was possible. My task now was to discover how to change from one place to the other. (as quoted from Heiss, p. 142-143)
I thought that was pretty cool.

Press release - AB Volvo
The Håkan Frisinger Foundation for Transportation Research will be awarding the scholarship for 2012 to Professor Ingemar Denbratt at Chalmers University of Technology. Ingemar Denbratt will receive the scholarship of SEK 250,000 for his successes in combustion-engine research, as well as his national and international cooperation with industry within the Combustion Engine Research Center (CERC) and various EU projects.
"Based on Denbratt's highly substantial significance to the development of eco-friendly transportation, which has also been of particular benefit to the Swedish automotive industry, I believe that Ingemar Denbratt is a highly deserving and appropriate recipient of the Håkan Frisinger scholarship for 2012," says Per Lövsund, Professor of Vehicle Safety and Head of Department of Applied Mechanics at the Chalmers University of Technology in his nomination.
Denbratt has been a driving force in the creation and scientific development of the national competency center in combustion-engine technology at Chalmers, CERC. The cutting-edge laboratories in combustion-engine technology developed by Denbratt have promoted cooperation with international scientists and the industry. In order to satisfy future demands for the development of eco-friendly drivelines, widespread initiatives are implemented in close dialog with the automotive industry, with a particular focus on hybrid solutions. The laboratories are of high strategic significance for both the automotive industry and Swedish sub-contractors.
The scholarship will be presented by the Håkan Frisinger Foundation at a seminar on April 4 at the Chalmerska Huset. For more information and registration, please contact Ulf Andersson, email@example.com, tel: +46 (0)736–545402.

When Peter Nerothin was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, he found his passion.
Nerothin set out to prove himself as an endurance athlete.
"To be honest, I felt like I had something to prove to people," said Nerothin, who found an innovative way of continuing extreme sports while battling type 1 diabetes. "Which is the way it goes with a lot of these athletes -- I wanted to make a statement to myself and also to them."
He later helped direct Triabetes, a program that inspires and instructs diabetic athletes as they train for triathlons.
For his own training, Nerothin wrote a letter to LifeScan, a diabetic supply company, asking for testing supplies so he would not have to work just to have insurance. He promised them that if they would send him test strips, he would compete in an Ironman triathlon.
"I poured my heart and soul into this letter and said, 'Hey, look, I totally disagree with all the things my doctor's telling me. I feel like I'm selling myself short in life."
He thought he was unique and innovative and expected to soon be LifeScan's poster child, so he wasn't surprised to receive what he asked for. Nerothin took the supplies, sold his car on the way to the airport and ended up half-way across the world. After spending time in New Zealand climbing mountains and jumping out of planes, Nerothin returned to make good on his word. And he competed in the triathlon.
That's when he discovered what a difference his training made in his diabetes.
"Unless you have fitness built into your diabetes management plan, you really don't have a diabetes management plan," he said. "It's so critical in helping you achieve consistent blood sugars."
As director of Triabetes, Nerothin hopes to teach other diabetics what he learned.
"I had a huge wake-up call. Fitness isn't something that people with diabetes can do, it's something they should do," he said. "It really helps them focus more on what's going on with their bodies -- what they're putting into it, what they're getting out of it, how to factor exercise into the management plan. I hadn't seen it that way before, it was kind of like, 'How can I manage my diabetes so I can do activity x?' Instead (of), 'How can I do activity x as a part of my diabetes management?'"
Others Control Diabetes, Compete
Nerothin isn't the only who has discovered that exercise is a key component to diabetes control.
About three years ago, Marcus Grimm, a type 1 diabetic, started a blog with this header: "Diabetic endurance athlete unable to find any other blogs and decided to write his own."
About six months ago, he realized the title just wasn't true anymore. There are many blogs and groups to help diabetics train.
"I know one of the things that the Triabetes group is trying to do is saying, 'Here are some guidelines, [but remember] we're all individuals and we all have to tweak it differently,'" he said. "It's good to see what they have out there. That's what I try to do on my blog is tell people here's kind of what I'm doing with my (insulin) pump and my training."
Grimm uses his long training days as practice runs for his insulin control. Whenever he does more than 13 miles, he stops every five miles to do a test. Come race day, he won't have to waste his time with that because he'll have a good idea where his blood sugars stand.
"I'm not going to stop, this is what all the training told me should happen, so let's go for it and see what happens," he said.
Another runner who employs Grimm's strategy of starting with his blood sugar a little high is Aaron Perry, the first African American diabetic to complete the Ironman triathlon.
For a race, Perry packs a lunch. He pulls his bike to the side of the road, gets off and chows down.
"I packed it in my transition bags, and it was just my time," he said. "I wasn't a triathlete, I was a diabetic man eating lunch."
When Perry first told his doctor he was going to train for a triathlon, he got a response that eventually got him across the finish line.
"I called my doctor and I told my doctor, 'I want to try and do this Ironman,' and he said very passively, 'Yeah, good luck,'" Perry said. "And I just recall the way he said that. It lit a fire under me."
At first, Perry struggled to complete a lap of swimming (a triathlon is equivalent to about 87 laps in the pool), but after 362 days, he was able to finish.
Not only did Perry learn a lot about himself during that time, he learned a great deal about diabetes.

Account pooling is a facility which allows 2 or more members to link their individual account to a designated master account for purpose of accruing miles jointly.
You may be invited to join an account pool as a member or you may start your own account pool by inviting other Caribbean Miles account holders to link their account to your own. You will be required to visit www.caribbean-airlines.com to access and complete the "Authorization to Link account" form.
Currently, there is no charge to link your account to a "master" account or to have other members link their account to yours.
All miles earned prior to your account being linked to a master account will be retained in your account, however, once your account has been linked to a master account, all miles earned through flight, partner or bonus transactions will be automatically transferred to the "master" account. Soon enough, the "master" account holder can redeem those miles for a ticket for any member of the pool selected or any other person that you may decide to "gift" with a reward ticket.
No. All Caribbean Miles members may only have one Caribbean Miles account, however, you may choose to "unlink" your account at any time. Miles earned whilst your account was linked to the "master" account that have been previously credited to the "master" account may not be reclaimed.
No. A member account may only be linked to one other account which will be then considered the "master" account to which all miles earned by the member post activation of the link will be automatically transferred.
Joining an account pool allows members to earn qualifying miles for reward redemptions faster and more easily. Miles are less likely to expire prior to attaining the required number of miles to complete a redemption. Within a group of persons, this can substantially reduce the cost of a planned trip and/or allow members to decide which person they would like to "gift" a reward ticket.
No. There is no limit to the number of persons who may join an account pool.
No. There is no limit to the number of miles that may be accrued in an account pool.
All active members of the Caribbean Miles frequent flyer account programme can opt to be linked to an account pool. All active members of the Caribbean Miles frequent flyer account programme can opt to be linked to an account pool once relationship is identified on application form submitted.
No. The 7th Heaven Rewards programme is hosted on a different system which cannot accommodate the pooling of miles at this time, however, it is something that we are working on for the near future.
No. All that is required is to authorize linkage of your account to a master account. Once accounts have been linked, all activities posted to your account will be transferred automatically to the designated master account. All miles held in your account prior to joining a pool are retained in your account.
Yes. However all requests for reward redemptions must be channeled through the master account holder and if beneficiary is not the master account holder, he/she will be required to complete and submit a third party authorization document before the redemption request may be processed.
You can unlink your miles account from an existing pool by contacting the Caribbean Miles Services Centre here via e-mail at email@example.com. However miles that have been previously transferred from your account to the master account may not be reversed. It will take a minimum of 3 business days to process your request.
The master account holder is to be decided by the parties involved. A member may choose to invite persons to link their account to his account. He will then be the master account holder or a member can request to have his account linked to a designated master account. In all cases it is the person who is not the master account holder that will be required to complete the Authorization to Link accounts form found here.

I'm a new mother and trying to get some milk stored up for when I go back to work so I've been pumping after my baby eats and making 4 oz bags. I've been putting the milk in a glass bottle after each pumping until I make 4 oz, which is normally 2 pumps, I'm not mixing the warm milk with the cold, I put them together when they are both cold. My question is that I've been noticing that my milk is seperating in the fridge, is this normal?
Also, I have a stand-up freezer that I plan on keeping the milk in, do the same guidelines go for a stand-up freezer as with a chest freezer?

Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys
October 2, 2013 —
NARROWSBURG, NY — Jim Gaudet and The Railroad Boys, a national bluegrass band on the rise, will open the Tusten Theatre's fall season on Saturday, October 5 at 8 p.m. With the Railroad Boys, Mat Kane (violin), Bobby Ristau (upright bass) and Sten Isachsen (mandolin), Gaudet, the lead guitarist and singer, anchors his songs in classic roots music with a driving style firmly rooted in Americana. The band's fourth CD, "Reasons That I Run," highlights the latest collection of Gaudet's stories and songs.
Forestburgh native Mat Kane plays violin in the quartet. Picking up the fiddle at the tender age of five, Kane was exposed to bluegrass early on through playing with his uncles, singer-songwriter Kieran Kane and instrumentalist Richard Kane of the O'Kanes. After graduating from college, Kane lived in Beijing, China for two years where he played electric violin with Chinese rock legends Shazi, Cui Jian and Tang Dynasty. After moving back to the United States, Kane became the fiddler for the cajun/country band The Doc Marshalls for seven years.
Tickets cost $20 ($18 advanced sales for DVAA members). The fall series is presented by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance. For tickets or information call 845/252-7272 or visit www.ArtsAllianceSite.org. For more about the band, visit www.jimgaudet.com.
