There are plenty of things a pet owner should know, and skipping veterinarian appointments can hinder an owner's knowledge of their pet's health.
Missing a yearly exam can affect a pet because there are some health problems that a non-professional can overlook.
"Remember, in one year a pet ages about the equivalent of seven human years, and tremendous changes can happen in those 12 months," Bernadine Cruz, a veterinarian in California, told Women's Day.
Cruz continues to advise that after the canine turns seven, vet appointments should become more frequent to avoid any serious illness.
Pet parents should also be aware that the notion that purbreeds are healthier than mutts is a common misconception. Another veterinarian explains that breeders look for certain characteristics, and this can affect the dog's health.
Common human medications can be poisonous for our furry friends, including Ibuprofen.
Vets can help in more than giving vaccinations and treat illnesses. If you are having problems with mundane tasks such as clipping your pooch's nails, you can ask your vet to show you a more effective way.

September 19, 2005 WIC Update
SUBJECT: Hurricane Katrina - Key Information for Participants and Retailers/Vendors
SUBJECT: Formula Availability
SUBJECT: Track Training Changes
SUBJECT: Hurricane Evacuee Tracking Form and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
- In order to assure that qualified victims of Hurricane Katrina receive WIC supplemental foods in the most efficient manner, the following has been mandated by USDA:
Key Information for Participants and Retailers/Vendors
- As a result of the relocation of Hurricane Katrina victims to
many different areas, the Louisiana and Alabama WIC State Agencies have
determined that September food instruments may be accepted by any
WIC-authorized vendor in any State.
- Any store that accepts the out-of-State food instrument must
inform the participant that she/he must contact the WIC office in that
State to get certified and receive new food instruments if she/he plans
to remain in that State after September 2005.
- If at all possible, the participant should receive the contract
brand infant formula specified on the food instrument. Further, if it is
not possible for the vendor to provide the brand items listed on the
check, the vendor may substitute a similar item from the State's
WIC-approved food list.
- The Louisiana or Alabama WIC State Agency is responsible for the
cost of the food instrument. The out-of-State vendor should deposit the
food instrument in its bank account which would charge the amount
against the Louisiana or Alabama State Agency's bank account.
- It has come to our attention that the Enfamil Next Step LIPIL and Enfamil Next Step ProSobee LIPIL in 12 ounce cans is sometimes difficult for our WIC participants to obtain. We are asking that once you receive a request for Enfamil Next Step LIPIL or Enfamil Next Step ProSobee LIPIL to first check with the vendors to see if the product is available or if they can obtain the product within 72 hours. If the product is not available or cannot be obtained within 72 hours, please contact the State WIC office.
If you have any questions on this product, please contact Takako Tagami at 1-800-392-8209 or e-mail email@example.com.
- We're changing Track Training! Effective January 1, 2006, the pre-requisite for attending Track training will only require the completion of the "Orientation to WIC" module, which is a link from the WOM and Resource Center under "About the Missouri WIC Program". CDs with modules will no longer be mailed to attendees scheduled to attend Track training. Pre-registration is still required. Track training will be more interactive & "hands on" and all training materials will be provided at each training site. If you have questions about the changes to Track training, please contact D'Anne Ward at email@example.com or 1-800-392-8209.
- Attached is the form for tracking hurricane evacuees that the LWP will have for the week of Sept 18 - 24, 2005. Please complete and submit to Glenn Studebaker at the end of your week. If you have not processed any hurricane evacuees, it is not necessary to submit the form.
- NEW TEL-LINK BROCHURE AVAILABLE: TEL-LINK is the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services' confidential, toll-free telephone line for maternal and child health care. The purpose of TEL-LINK is to provide information and referrals to Missouri residents concerning a wide range of health services. Callers are given referrals and then are transferred immediately to the appropriate agency. A new TEL-LINK brochure was recently printed and is now available to the public. Please call 1-800-TEL-LINK (1-800-835-5465) to order free copies of the brochure.

Providing an update of the most recent meeting of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board, Tom Trabucco, the board's director of external affairs, said the Roth Thrift Savings Plan option is "on time," for a launch later this year.
"Roth continues to be on time and we will begin sending out materials … along with the 2011 participant statements to all 4.5 million participants to let them know what to expect from Roth," he told In Depth with Francis Rose.
The Roth plan, which the board has been planning since 2009, will allow federal employees to invest already taxed income so it can be withdrawn without being taxed again. The original launch date was January 2012, which was delayed last year.
TSP officials said last year the plan was back on track to launch by the second quarter of this year.

Returns and participation
Participation in the TSP in 2011 continued to grow, Trabucco said. It took in $25 billion in new contributions last year, alone, he added.
However, the participation rate for FERS employees dropped from 85.2 percent to 84.6 percent. Trabucco said the decline can be explained by three factors: an increase in the number of separations, an increase in the number of employees who reached their contribution limits and "a little nick up" in the number of employees opting out of FERS — from 2.7 percent to 2.8 percent.
However, Trabucco said the increase in the number of employees contributing the maximum amount to the TSP in 2011 is attention-grabbing.
In 2010 there were 189,392 TSP participants who contributed the maximum amount allowed — $16,500. In 2011, 205,113 people contributed the maximum amount.
"People are continuing to push … And they're looking to their future and their future retirement security, and that's a good thing," Trabucco said.
Three-legged stool
Federal employees' retirement rests on a three-legged stool: Social Security, their pension and the Thrift Savings Plan savings, Trabucco explained.
While many federal employees may think the current three-tiered structure has been around since time immemorial, it has a relatively short existence.
The Federal Employee Retirement System was only enacted in 1986 Trabucco said. Before that feds were covered by the Civil Service Retirement System, which meant they were not covered at all by Social Security.
CSRS was a "full retirement system," Trabucco said, which predated social security and "provided an adequate level of benefits for everyone."
However, he said, it did not include the "other insurance aspects" that Social Security provides, particularly for federal employees in lower grades.
"This switch actually broadened the benefits that people get from their employment with the federal government," he said.
Ballpark estimate
Trabucco also discussed the retirement-savings calculator, operated by the Office of Personnel Management. It allows federal employees to estimate how much they should be saving. The calculator provides a "ballpark estimate" to provide employees with more concrete information and stop guessing.

Raw Almonds
9 oz Container / Item #037023
- Good source of Vitamin E1
- 6 grams of protein per ounce1
- No cholesterol or sodium1
These delicious, crunchy raw almonds are so very versatile. Eat them by the handful as a snack. Sprinkle them onto your favorite foods as a topping. Add them to recipes for crunchy texture and a delicate flavor.
Almonds are a wonderfully delicious source of nutrients. Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of almonds (28g) has 13g of unsaturated fat and 1g of saturated fat.

Nvidia Corp. said Wednesday that it would demonstrate playback of stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray disc (BD) using its 3D Vision technology at Consumer Electronics Show next month. In addition, the company said that 3D Blu-ray specification was "expected to be formally announced later this year".
According to the company, over the last few weeks it has successfully demonstrated playback of 3D content encoded with the AVC Multi-View Codec (or AVC-MVC), the codec that is expected to become the foundation for how 3D content is encoded onto Blu-ray discs (at least until Microsoft develops 3D version of VC-1), behind closed doors. 3D Blu-ray content encoded in AVC –MVC can be decoded in real time on select Nvidia GPUs starting from GeForce GT 240 ($99 MSRP), as well as upcoming next-generation GF100 GPUs based on the Nvidia "Fermi" architecture.
Blu-ray disc association's 3D BD standard is based on active shutter glasses technology, hence, to enjoy 3D Blu-ray movies end-users will need 3D Vision package from Nvidia as well as full-HD monitors with 120Hz refresh rate. Nvidia said that Acer will be first to market with its new GD245HQ and GD235HZ models.
Quite naturally, AVC-MVC content will require more computational resources to decode content from Blu-ray discs since basically this means decoding two 1080p (1920x1080, progressive scan) streams at once. As a result, Nvidia seems to limit 3D BD support to GeForce GT 240 or more powerful graphics cards. It remains to be seen whether graphics cards that do not support dual-full-HD video decoding will support stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray at all.
The graphics chip designer said that it had been working closely with the world's leading movie playback software developers, including Arcsoft, Corel, Cyberlink and Sonic, to ensure seamless support for 3D Blu-ray titles when they are ready to ship in 2010.
Earlier this week ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, said it would also demonstrate stereoscopic 3D Blu-ray playback at CES.

Europe has an excellent background in nano-, microsystem- and biotechnology in many countries, but in order to maximise the overall impact it needs to strengthen and reinforce that excellence by focusing on specific goals well into reach to be carried out in a 4-year project but showing future perspectives for continued technical development for the rapidly growing biotechnology market. Complementary specialist groups from all over Europe come together to share their different expertise and results in various areas of nano(bio)technology: material science, biology, biotechnology, nanotechnology, manufacturing technology, cell handling and clinical testing. Each of the partners has specific knowledge in his field and internationally recognised expertise. The collaboration in the CellPROM project, based on the complementarity principle, will lead to long-lasting co-operations between the partners.
The universities of Lausanne (Switzerland), Barcelona (Spain), Saarbruecken (Germany), Vienna (Austria), Kaiserslautern (Germany), Pavia (Italy), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Tel-Aviv (Israel) and Vilnius (Lithuania) form the scientific backbone of the consortium. The non-profit research institutes of Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft (Germany), Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Institute of Experimental Biology and Technology (Portugal), Institute Pasteur (France), Institute of Analytical Sciences, Institute for New Materials, Georg-Speyer-Haus and Max-Planck-Institute for Biophysical Chemistry (all Germany) with their expertise in applied research bridge the gap between basic research towards technical development. The companies Evotec Technologies (Germany), Leister Process Technologies (Switzerland), GeSIM (Germany), Sysmelec (Switzerland), Eurogentec (Belgium), Silex (Sweden), Surface Imaging Systems and AMO (both Germany) with their product portfolio in the nano-, micro- and bio-technology field stand for competitive developments in line with market requirements. The start-ups EURICE and tp21 (both Germany) bring in their expertise in project administration, knowledge dissemination and training, since management is an issue for Integrated Projects of this size, educational perspectives are applied on a European scale, and new skills and expertise are expected to be created in Europe.

Estimated grade. Sold by David Akers Numismatics May '98 Price realized $385
David Akers (1975/88): This is an unusual issue in that it is easy to find in MS-63 or lower condition but surprisingly difficult to locate in MS-64 or better grade. Gems are rare without a doubt, considerably more so than any of the other late issues. Why this is so I really have no idea but I can state that I have not seen all that many 1929 quarter eagles that would grade a full MS-65 by today's stringent standards. A few superb, nearly perfect pieces are known but in MS-67 condition, the 1929 is clearly a major rarity.
The strike on a typical 1929 is very good although some specimens are not quite as sharp as the several issues immediately preceding this one. Many examples also show obvious signs of die buckling at the borders. Lustre is nearly always very good to excellent and the color is most often a rich yellow gold with a greenish tint.
David Hall: The 1929 is the major condition rarity of the later date $2.5 Indians. It is really rare in superb condition. The one MS67 was graded by PCGS in August, 1987. I remember the coin and it was really spectacular. I haven't seen the coin since and it hasn't appeared in any auction that I know of.

Irish Setter History
- Setters originated before the advent of hunting birds with game, when dogs that spotted birds were expected to crouch so that hunters could throw a net over the birds without it getting snagged on the dog.
- The oldest known setter dates back to the 1300s, but the Irish setter is more recent, probably from the 1700s. The breed is thought to be the result of crosses between English setters (and to a lesser extent, Gordon setters) and spaniels and pointers.
- These crosses produced red and white setters that were fast working and could be seen from a distance, qualities desired by Irish bird hunters.
- Around 1800, the first kennel of solid red setters was established. These dogs gained a reputation for both their hunting ability and striking color. Solid red setters and red and white setters diverged into different lines, now known as Irish setters and Irish red and white setters.
- In 1862, a dog named Palmerston changed the look of the Irish Ssetter because of his unusually long head and slender build. Most modern Irish setters can be traced back to him.
- The breed gained more popularity as a show dog compared to field dog, although it can still perform in both venues.
- In the 1970s, the Irish setter rose to rank among the most popular breeds in America. Its popularity has since declined dramatically.
Irish Setter Behavior Concerns
- Makes a tirelessly enthusiastic and active companion.
- Usually very good with children, but can be too boisterous for small children.
- Eager to please but easily distracted.
- Does best with reward-based training involving food.
- Outgoing toward strangers.
- Gets along well with other pets and dogs.
- Enjoys retrieving and hunting.
Irish Setter Suggested Exercises
- Makes a good housedog if given adequate exercise.
- Requires daily exercise in the form of a very long walk, jog, or energetic games. Field lines tend to be more energetic.
- A good candidate for dog parks.
- Obedience training is essential not only for control, but for the mental exercise it provides.
Irish Setter Grooming
- Coat is fairly long, silky, and either flat or slightly wavy.
- The coat needs brushing and combing two to three times a week to prevent mats. It should be bathed once a month.
- Some clipping and trimming is needed every month to maintain optimal looks.
- Shedding is average.
Suggested Irish Setter Nutritional Needs
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
- Puppies should be fed a balanced a puppy food.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.

OCZ Technology this week unveiled its new family of solid-state drives (SSDs) that are aimed at customers in budget who want to enjoy the benefits of fast flash-based storage, but are not ready to pay a large sum. The Agility lineup of SSDs does not use internal RAID 0 to boost performance, like OCZ Apex does, but also has slightly lower performance, yet, potentially higher reliability.
"The new Agility Series of SSDs are the latest addition to the OCZ lineup of solid-state drives and are designed for cost-conscious consumers seeking the performance and reliability benefits of SSDs at an aggressive price. The new Agility Series drives make use of cache to deliver better performance over a wide range of functions and applications, all at a price point that makes sense for everyday users," said Ryan Edwards, director of product management at the OCZ Technology Group.
The new OCZ Agility 2.5" solid-state drives are available in 30GB, 60GB and 120GB capacities and feature 64MB of onboard cache and a controller from Indilinx. The new family dumps internal RAID stripe design in order to improve reliability and decrease design complexity of the new SSDs, however, performance of the new drives is slightly lower write speed compared to that of OCZ Apex line, which was introduced early this year, that utilizes internal RAID 0.
OCZ Agility is compatible with Serial ATA-300 bus and have 1.5 million hour mean time between failure (MTBF).
Online store Ncix.com sells OCZ Agility solid-state drives for $148, $229 and $379 for 30GB, 60GB and 120GB versions, respectively.

Sup Yo ForRec Peepz!
...going out to gaz, stevie and all the massive.
a wee feedback about our forrec site: its nicely awesome - you doing a good job gaz (super danke for adding hemulen...).
its great to have all the forest records stuff on fairtilizer - they have a great player: only thing is it starts automatically when you go to the site and when you navigate between pages on the site - then it reloads.
maybe it would be good to have a dropdown/popup or even a seperate page "listen"? or can we just set the player not to start automatically...dunno what y'all are saying, ive just found it a little less surf-friendly...?
gimme your thoughts.

New York Takes Leadership Role Against Guns
To The Reader's Forum:
The response to the newly passed restrictions on guns was not slow in coming. Our local politicians fell right in line with the NRA. I and (according to recent polls) about 75 percent of the American people agree that gun regulations have to be enacted, and the prospect for a long and drawn out fight in the Congress indicates that individual states will have to take up the slack.
I am pleased and proud that the state of New York was the first one to step up. We read the usual pap of disapproval -comparing gun deaths to automobile or other means. The difference, of course, is that the very purpose for the existence of a gun, and particularly an assault rifle is to put a large hole in a human being. I know there is hunting and competitive target shooting, but an assault rifle is not used for those legitimate purposes.
And as for huge magazines, it could be noted that the USA played a huge part in winning WWII and stopping a million man Chinese army in Korea using the Garand M-1 rifle with an 8 shot clip. Nobody should need more than that unless they want to cause havoc against their own countrymen.

Norma,LOL. I meant Reply 814 but when I went back to that post I saw that I mistook the handle of your spoon for a piece of basil that I thought you picked out of the sauce and placed on top. Peter
Norma,Overall, it looks like you and Steve had a good pizza making session with the Buddy's clone pizzas. Here are my collective thoughts:1. I agree that the poppy seed trick may not work as well or as reliably for skins that are spread out in pans. However, the two pizzas that you used for the poppy seed test (shown in Replies 826-828) still look very good to my eye. And it sounds like you were able to sell them. So, I assume they were good enough to sell.2. I thought the emergency Buddy's clone pizza without the salt was a killer pizza. That is the one shown in Replies 829 and 830. It is just about perfect, and I am especially impressed with the appearance of the bottom crust. You might also be interested to know that the final baked weight of the pizza, 575 grams (20.28 ounces), was within 0.18 ounces of the calculated weight for the pepperoni slices (extrapolated from three slices to four slices) that dicepackaged purchased from Buddy's and reported on at Reply 127 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,3783.msg81715.html#msg81715. However, we can't take this to mean that we have all of the numbers right. Since the Buddy's pizzas are custom assembled without using weights for the cheese, sauce and toppings, a swing of one ounce in either direction for the cheese and sauce can still produce numbers that fit those of dicepackage. Also, we still don't know the weights of dough balls that Buddy's uses for its square pizzas. FYI, the weight loss for the pizza you made was 8.9%. 3. The Buddy's clone dough with 0.80% IDY does look about right for a one-day cold fermented dough. Sometime you might try increasing that to 0.90% IDY to see if that speeds up things even further. 4. My experience with pizza sauces confirms what you and Steve noted about how the flavor of a sauce when baked is not the same as unbaked. However, if you like the sauce unbaked better than baked, you can always add the sauce after the pizza has been baked, at least for those pizzas where it makes sense to do so. 5. If I recall correctly, you are still awaiting samples of the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni, and that you are awaiting information from Kraft on the brick cheese, and that you plan to call Land 'O Lakes, also on the matter of brick cheese.Peter
I think I will still add the sauce before the bake, because when the pizzas are cut if the sauce is added after the bake the sauce wants to spread more and then my sauce wouldnt be really hot, unless there is a reheat, or I would used warmed sauce. I have a container that I could use to warm sauce, but that is one more added thing to the electric bill, because it would need to be turned on all day. Do you think I should mix 7/11 and some of my Saporito Extra Heavy Pizza Sauce for Tuesday with some added ingredients?
Any more instructions if I receive the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni tomorrow?
Norma,Since you have both the Stanislaus 7/11s and the Saporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce w/Fresh Basil, I think it would be a great idea to try out a combination of those two products. I was playing around with Nick Sasso's sauce recipe but it is not clear whether his combination will produce the sodium numbers I am after based on the Buddy's Nutrition information. I'd also like to play around with the Foremost Farms sodium numbers for its brick cheese to see if I can come up with a plausible combination of the two Stanislaus tomato products sodium-wise when combined with water. If I come up with something of merit, I will let you know. One of the things that would interest me is how much 20 slices of the Margherita coarse grind pepperoni weighs. That is the number of slices that I took away from the photo at http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/08Mf788bNv6xv/340x.jpg. There is no rush to do the weighing. It can wait until you plan to use the Margherita pepperoni slices to make an actual pizza.Peter
It is interesting that you were playing around with the sodium numbers based on Buddys Nutrition information in combination with Nick Sassos sauce recipe and you would like to play around with the Foremost Farms sodium number for its brick cheese to see if you can come up with a plausible combination of the two Stanislaus tomato products sodium-wise when combined with water. I just wanted to tell you that Steve and I did taste salt, or some other ingredient that tasted like salt in the extra Buddy sauce. I dont know how many times I can keep freezing the extra Buddys sauce, but I will keep freezing it until it tastes bad.
Norma,The different Stanislaus products that are of interest to us in this thread have different amounts of salt but they are quite comparable. For example, the Stanislaus 7/11 product has about 75mg sodium per ounce. The Stanislaus Saporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil has about 64mg sodium per ounce. Those amounts of sodium for four ounces of sauce would be equivalent to about 1/8 teaspoon of salt or maybe a bit less. The Stanislaus Full Red Tomato Paste has no added salt but it does have a small amount of natural sodium. That product is not a candidate for our purposes because it contains no basil leaves. I might add here that another possible candidate for your purposes is the Stanislaus Super Dolce Super Sweet Heavy Pizza Sauce (http://www.stanislausfoodproducts.com/_pdfs/Super-Dolce-Pizza-Sauce.pdf). It has slightly more salt (about 71mg sodium per ounce) than the Saporito Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil but it is sweeter. It also has basil leaves. Sweetness might be something to pay attention to when comparing your next sauce with the sample you have from Buddy's.Since my last post, I have been playing around with the numbers for Nick Sasso's sauce using the Stanislaus 7/11 and Saporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil. From Nick's numbers, it appears that he is using around 36% water to dilute the mixture of the two types of tomato products. Using 4 ounces for the amount of sauce based on his recipe does appear to come close to the sodium numbers given in the Buddy's Nutrition information on a single-slice basis (one ounce of sauce on average). However, I found that I could get closer to the Buddy's sodium numbers by going to 50% water. For your purposes, you might try the 36% version, as follows:7/11: 125 gramsSaporito Super Heavy Pizza Sauce with Fresh Basil: 125 gramsWater: 90 gramsThe above combination will produce about 12 ounces of sauce, or enough for about 3 Buddy's clone pizzas with 4 ounces of sauce each. Since it is quite possible that Nick's recipe produces a thicker sauce than what Buddy's might be using, you might start with 90 grams of water and, if necessary, gradually add more water until the sauce has about the same consistency as the Buddy's sauce sample. If possible, you should note the amount of additional water. FYI, at 50% water, you are talking about 125 grams of water. That amount of water will increase the total sauce weight to 13.22 ounces. In addition to coming up with sodium numbers that are in the ballpark in relation to the sodium numbers in the Buddy's Nutrition information, the carbohydrate numbers and fiber numbers for the abovementioned sauce combinations also seem to be in the ballpark with the Buddy's Nutrition information. For all of my calculations, I assumed that Buddy's is using the Foremost Farms brick cheese with 360mg of sodium for two ounces of that cheese. I also tested the carbohydrate numbers when using a 10-ounce dough ball as opposed to a 9-ounce dough ball (both without salt) and it appears that the numbers support the 9-ounce dough ball weight better than the 10-ounce dough ball weight. It didn't matter whether I used the 36% or 50% water numbers. So, until we come up with better intelligence on Buddy's dough ball weights, I would stick with the 9-ounce dough ball for the Buddy's 4-square pizza.Peter
I wanted to mention that Steve and I thought the extra Buddys sauce has gotten a little thinner, but we think that happened from the defrosting of the frozen Buddys extra sauce two times. I have kept the Buddys extra sauce in my non defrosting freezer, but I guess ice crystals may contribute to some thinning of the extra Buddys sauce.
Norma,Steve makes a good point. No doubt the repeated freezings and defrostings of the Buddy's sauce have altered the cellular structure of the tomatoes in the sauce. You might stir the defrosted sauce to at least get it to a uniform consistency but you may also have to rely on your memory, or "feel", as to the consistency of the Buddy's sauce when you first got it. But, all things considered, I think it was a good idea to get the Buddy's sauce sample in the first place.Peter
Nice 'lil score there Norma! That pepperoni looks real good up close. I know you place it under the cheese on your Buddy's clone pizzas but I'll bet that stuff will cup an crisp up real nice when you try it on top with your other styles of pizza.btw, on that "black ice" icepack...is that a pic of your new WFO to be installed in your upcoming Food Truck!?

Few squash say fall more than the butternut. The subtle, slightly sweet flavor is a lot like pumpkin, but half the mess and stress. Here, Lenore Pinello of Tequesta's In The Kitchen offers up her recipe for the versatile Roasted Butternut Squash Puree.
Says Pinello on the recipe: "This puree can be served as a soup or used as a sauce for ravioli or gnocchi. I also use it to sauce the plate when serving seared sea scallops. Yum!"
Roasted Butternut Squash Puree
You will need:
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- ½ cup diced onion
- ¼ cup diced celery
- ¼ cup diced carrot
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- About 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- ½ teaspoon ground toasted coriander, optional
- 1½ cups roasted butternut squash
- Toasted pumpkin seeds or pepitas
Preheat oven to 375°. Cut squash in half; remove seeds and roast cut-side down on sheet pan for about 30 minutes or until tender. While squash is roasting, Sautee veggies until soft and tender. Add cinnamon stick and stock, and bring to a boil. Turn down heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes. When squash is cooked, cool and scoop out flesh. Add squash to soup, and season with salt, pepper and coriander if using. Puree with an immersion blender or traditional blender. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds.
- Serves 4.

This paper introduces dynamic distributed resource management in a Demand-Side Management (DSM) based simulation tool. The principle purpose of the simulation tool is to illustrate customer-driven DSM operation, and evaluate an estimate for home electricity consumption while minimizing the customer's cost. The tool simulates the operation of household appliances as a Hybrid Renewable Energy System (HRES). The resource management technique is implemented using an optimization algorithm, i.e. Particle Swarm Optimization, which determines the distribution of energy obtained from various sources depending on the load. The validity of the tool is illustrated through an example case study, and compared with the operating costs of the same system without the optimization algorithm.

Skip to comments.Republicans rip White House over finger pointing in wake of dismal GDP report (Truth hurts)
Posted on 01/30/2013 5:26:56 PM PST by Kaslin
Republicans accused the White House of having selective amnesia Wednesday after President Obama's top spokesman blamed Republicans for an unexpectedly dismal GDP report that showed the economy contracting in the fourth quarter. The White House had suggested GOP willingness to let sweeping defense cuts take effect was the culprit -- but an aide to House Speaker John Boehner quickly reminded Democrats that Republicans have tried to stop those cuts.
"These arbitrary, automatic cuts were a creation and demand of the White House in 2011," Boehner spokesman Brendan Buck said. "Twice the House has passed legislation to replace them with common sense cuts and reforms. If there was any uncertainty late last year about the sequester, it was because the Democratic-controlled Senate, per usual, never lifted a finger to pass a plan to replace it."
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi earlier alleged that GOP feet-dragging during talks over the fiscal crisis and willingness to accept automatic defense cuts contributed to the economic squeeze. The Commerce Department report showed the economy shrinking for the first time since 2009.

Of course the state run media went into full spin mode immediately.
"Drop in Gov't spending" HELLO...Fed Gov't spent $30 BILLION more in 4th quarter 2012 than the prior year.
It won't be long now....
You should have heard what Shep Smith said. He said something like that it was a surprise
Barry and the 'RATS can continue blaming somebody else for everything. However, the commie lib 'RATS OWN this failed economy. Bush has been gone for over 4 years. YOU own it 'RATS!
The third quarter GDP report claimed an unbelievably large increase of 3.1%, which was used as evidence of Obama's alleged economic success. If that last report before the election was for whatever reason inflated, then it would make sense that at least the 4th quarter report would come in "unexpectedly" low (with any economic growth having already been reported just in time for the final campaign push). I'm wondering if the economic reports are as fraudulent as everything else from our community-organizer-in-chief, a composite of real jobs growth and expected eventual improvements.
It's the new media word. Before the election results like this were referred to as "unexpected".
You would have expected that the increased sales in weapons and ammunition would have boosted the economy.
A spark of fight! Well said by the Speakers aide. Just tell the truth about the dims.
It tells me the same thing, but it doesn't tell me where they expect economic growth. I'd bet on the BRICs or on Japan finally getting out of its long-term slump (or at least fully out of its post-Tsunami recession -- already signs of that with Toyota back ahead of GM as top auto manufacturuer) before I'd bet on the U.S. while Obama's in office.
Regardless of how long Bush has been out of office, they own this failed economy because they took every aspect of Bush's economy (which was a big-spending, big-government, failed economy) and put it on steroids.
The only significant break they've made with Bush's economic policies was allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire (which was one of the greatest aspects of Bush's economy). This will prove to be sand in the gears of the machine that is already failing.
In short, they own this failed economy because it is deficit spending, central management, regulatory excess, and high taxes (in other words...SOCIALISM) that has caused the failure of this economy.
The key words being "unbelievably large". The purported growth was unbelievable because it was the result of cooked books and was, in no way, real.
It isn't the case that every commodity bubble indicates future industrial demand.
And it isn't the case that every stock market bubble indicates future increase in earnings LOL
The 'price forecasting growth' model is a bunch of hooey.
No thanks. I don't watch TV news. In fact I hardly follow the news like I used to and my stress level is way down.
I guess it's also partly due to the fact that we are so far down the tubes that I know there's no turning back. I'm just chuckling at the spin telling us it's raining when they're just pissing on the proles.
I'm betting on worldwide economic growth..not anything spectacular but I don't buy into the gold peddlers and doom and gloomers predictions of the coming crash or hyper inflation....and I'll put my money where my mouth is.
Being a liberal means never having to say you're sorry -- for anything. It's never your fault.
The last time a Democrat administration actually took responsibility for anything was 1952.
You need to look beyond the cost of a barrel of crude having only one indicator. It is far more complicated than that (supply/demand, which countries are stockpiling, who is hoarding hoping to unload it if it goes up because they know of some governmental activity that will cause a shortage). It is also directly tied to the dollar. So if the dollar is in the tank, crude goes up, and vice-versa. If you google for a graph overlaying the value of the dollar vs. the cost of a barrel for the past 20 years, you will see an almost perfect mirror image as the rise in one results in a decline in the other.
If you want a better vanguard, keep an eye on the Baltic Dry Shipment Index. It is in the tank, because no one plans on shipping anything, because no one plans on selling anything.
I agree that just looking at one indicator is foolhardy. But making investment decisions based on ones political beliefs is equally foolhardy. I actually take lots of factors into consideration and I'm betting on slow choppy growth in the next 2-3 years..
Personal income was way up or it would have been worse, but looking at it closer it was due to people making as much investment and bonus income as they could before the tax increase. Also capital and software purchases were up as the tax benefits from depreciation rules changed in January also. Doesn't paint a good picture for Q2.
love your name and tagline.
"Barry and the RATS can continue blaming somebody else for everything. "
Why not? State-Run media has his back at every turn.
Shouldn't the headline read?: GDP totally dependent on Government Debt
I mean the results of the cuts have reversed GDP growth. So the entire economy is faked by government overspending money it never had.
The so called Republican leadership will not fight the Donkey socialists/Marxists. Instead the RINO leadership reaches across the aisle and stabs conservatives [that make up the base] in the back. Bad enough the conservatives have to fight the MSM and Donkeys, but Quisling RINOs too.
And your point is what, exactly? What would my party do? Go to political war the with the Donkeys and RINOs. Attack them and no quarter. But I am too old and slow and crippled for this fight.
I don't know if you realize it or not, but you are doing exactly what the rats want, which is division. No wonder we don't win. What we need is unite, not divide
I thought Baghdad Bob was hung in Iraq several years ago. It seems he's working as the White House spokesman...
I did a search but couldn't find anything that he was hung or is dead. But you're right he seems to be working as the spokesman for the arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. First under the name of Robert Gibbs, then and now under the name of Jay Carney
You need to take a class in searching.
Two clicks and I found him - at least if you believe Wiki.
He's in the UAE.
The time is coming closer and closer to the this tipping point and Obongo is lusting for it because he wants to murder about 10% of the United States' population to achieve his Marxist utopia. Have any of our brilliant Republicans figured out this guy is a Marxist? Have they figured out he wants to destroy the country with the Cloward-Piven Strategy? These political geniuses don't have a clue about the roles the communists William Marshal Davis, Saul Alinsky, and Bill Ayers have played as mentors to Dear Leader. As long as RINOs team with Donkeys and the MSM against conservatives, where's the uniting done?
I have no problem with trying to profit regardless of who is in office, but you have to be careful predicting any type of growth when the office is occupied by someone who is intentionally destroying the possibility of economic growth. And you have to be ever more vigilant if you rely on their numbers telling us that the economy is growing. The DJIA up to 14,000 has nothing to do with true economic growth and everything to do with the Fed monetizing the deb through the equities markets (not only from QE but also from the POMOs that keep taking it 100 points every time they unleash that bubble beast).
I really don't give what the politician's are doing much credence irregardless of party. One of my favorite predictors is this..I spend a lot of time driving and I notice the number of trucks on the road and more importantly to my system of analysis is the number of box cars side tracked for a long time the RR's have been side tracking hundreds of box cars along the roads I usually travel and they have been in the same spot for years but in the last few months the RR's have been putting them back in the system..I just saw a train last night pulling hundreds that I know were there for at least 2 years. This tells me the RR is expecting more demand, that coupled with oil futures, copper futures and a few other things tells me to invest at this time..I could be wrong but I trust trends like this that I can see more than I trust my political views or listening to any body with a financial stake in peddling their particular system to guide me in spending my investment dollar..YMMV

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— The USOC Hearing Panel just made known its findings regarding the status of USA Taekwondo's Probationary Period. They have extended the Probation to allow for several concerns of theirs to be addressed once and for all. All was not doom and gloom, however. The USOC Hearing Panel is encouraged by the steps that are being taken to fully rectify issues and concerns of theirs. As the Interim CEO of USA Taekwondo I pledged to them, as I pledge to our membership, that I will make sure that all deficiencies that were noted by the Hearing Panel are corrected, properly and with finality so that our organization can move forward in a very professional manner befitting of organizations with National Governing Body status. I will make every effort to achieve success in this endeavor, even as we begin the process of preparing our athletes for competitive excellence in Mexico at this year's World Championships. I clearly understand the concerns that were articulated to me and there is no doubt in mind about the seriousness of the USOC for us to remedy those concerns. As always, our athletes must come first. And, to that end, pending phone conversations with all National Team Coach finalists, I will be announcing the person that I have selected to serve as the USA Taekwondo National Team Coach later this afternoon.
To recap, for now, our organization is still on probation with USOC. There are still areas of deficiency that must be corrected or we will, in no uncertain terms, be decertified. I extend my promise to you, our membership, to do everything possible to prevent that from happening to our organization. I need the support of our membership as we face the challenges that lie before us in making our organization all that it should be as an NGB. Thank you to those who continue to support our efforts. And, to those who are still watching and waiting, I would only ask that you join us, renew your membership, and help us to develop into the best Taekwondo organization the world has ever known.

text: Our Destinations The Republic of South Africa lies at the southern end of the African continent. It is bounded by the Indian Ocean to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and is bordered to the north by Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Swaziland and totally encloses Lesotho. South Africa remains one of the wealthiest countries on the continent with its vast mineral resources powering the economy for over a century. While scenic Cape Town, with its strong tourism and creative industries, may get more flattering media exposure, it's Johannesburg that calls the shots when it comes to business. In the capital city Pretoria, an hour's drive to the north, you'll find more embassies than corporate empires. The coastal city of Durban is the busiest port in Africa while Port Elizabeth also carries its fair share of imports and exports. Fact File: Population: 49 Million Time Zone: GMT +2 Currency: South African Rand Language: South Africa has 11 official languages, but English is the language of business and is spoken across the country Visa: Most passport-holders do not require a visa to visit South Africa, and a 30-day entry permit is issued on arrival at international border posts. Travellers arriving from countries where yellow fever is endemic (as of 2011, this includes Zambia) will also be required to show a certificate of vaccination. Travel Tips: Credit cards and debit cards are widely accepted in shops, hotels and restaurants, so there's no need to carry large amounts of cash with you, unless travelling in rural areas. OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg is the main air gateway into Southern Africa. From Johannesburg there are direct links to dozens of cities both worldwide and across the continent. A range of coach companies offer nationwide bus services. Tar roads in urban and rural areas are generally well maintained and you'll find international car hire companies at all airports. There are few health issues to be concerned about in South African cities – the tap water is drinkable and there are no major diseases to guard against.

From every angle, the funding prospects for Wisconsin's public schools look gloomy. The Milwaukee Public Schools (MPS) have run deficits for the past three years.4 In fact, MPS has already had to cut spending by roughly $45 million over two years.5 The biennial Wisconsin budget that was enacted last year authorized education spending for the 2002 fiscal year that fell short of the Department of Public Instruction's request by $100 million.6
Although Gov. Scott McCallum has promised not to further reduce state aid for Wisconsin's 426 public school districts, there are strong indications that he will not be able to stick to this promise. Already, he has proposed capping payments to cover the interest costs for school construction.7 This reduction in state aid would come at a very tough time. For even maintaining present levels of support for public education would not begin to meet the urgent needs of the state's schools. According to a 1996 GAO study on the condition of U.S. school facilities, 82 percent of Wisconsin schools needed extensive repairs or, in some cases, needed to be totally replaced.8 Additionally, revenue caps that restrict the ability of local districts to raise money have hampered efforts to improve school facilities.9 By the 1999-2000 school year, at least 60 percent of Wisconsin superintendents reported that they had cut funds for school maintenance and improvements in order to keep within their budget limits.10
The governor's intention to continue the current funding system for vouchers-surcharge and all-fumbles a major opportunity to protect scarce funding.11 Indeed, if Gov. McCallum and legislators fail to rectify the voucher surcharge, there could be both serious short- and long-term consequences-far beyond the cuts in school construction spending that he has already announced.
Some observers have reacted skeptically to the governor's insistence that school districts will be spared from other cuts. As one county executive predicted, "I think there's going to be some bloodshed, to say it lightly, and that is going to include education also."12 There are several reasons to expect the governor will move to reduce the state's support for education.
First, the governor used his broad, line-item veto powers more than 300 times last year before signing off on the budget. These McCallum vetoes included cuts of more than $30 million from the state education budget.13 Specifically, some of the governor's vetoes limited the ability of schools to recruit and retain qualified teachers-by capping salaries and other teacher contract provisions-and to provide services to the deaf and hearing-impaired. Other McCallum vetoes cut after-school programs and substantially reduced the scope of a program which helps prepare minority students to gain admission to four-year colleges. Finally, the governor's veto of a limited increase in districts' revenue caps denied public schools more than $20 million annually.14
Second, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported that Gov. McCallum will be studying "whether the state can continue to meet its [public school] funding commitment in the long haul."15 Third, another report by the newspaper noted recently that "the governor likes parts" of a controversial state Assembly proposal that would freeze state aid to schools next year.16
Efforts to build new public schools, recruit and hire new teachers, and fund critically needed reforms are at issue. How sadly ironic that the voucher surcharge has been allowing Milwaukee's private and religious voucher schools to "raise low salaries" and "otherwise gain a more solid financial footing"17 while undercutting the ability of the public schools to do the very same thing. The $28 million lost to the voucher surcharge would cover only a portion of the $190 million in additional state aid needed for next year, it is true-but this amount is by no means insignificant. Consider, for example, that a proposed freeze in state education aid next year would force the Milwaukee Public Schools to cut $23 million in existing programs.18 Such cuts, hypothetically, would be unnecessary if an extra $28 million had remained in the state's coffers. This is but one example of ways in which the level of resources now being squandered on the voucher surcharge could be put to immediate, productive use in the public schools.
Even worse, the voucher surcharge-if allowed to grow as it grew over the two years of this study-could soon become a financial time-bomb that seriously impedes the state's ability to fund even highly successful programs such as the Student Achievement Guarantee in Education (SAGE) which-despite its proven success-already survived one attempt to have its budget cut during last year's legislative session.19 This class-size reduction program has been documented to raise achievement for low-income students.20

Cyberbullying and BrittenPosted by Christian Carey in Composers, File Under?, Songs, Twentieth Century Composer, tags: Benjamin Britten, cyberbullying, Rutgers, Tyler Clementi
When I planned to teach a course at Westminster Choir College about Benjamin Britten's vocal music in the Fall, I knew that gender/sexuality studies would play a role in our evaluation of his works. But I certainly wasn't planning to discuss something as topical and unsettling as the recent tragedy at Rutgers. Our campus is a half hour away from RU (my alma mater), and a number of students were understandably shaken by hearing about Tyler Clementi's suicide.
The technological tools for communication may have gotten more sophisticated; but the people using them, if they act selfishly, can be in danger of disconnecting from their better impulses. Sadly, in this instance, the consequences were heartbreaking.
With Britten's Michelangelo Sonnets and his opera Peter Grimes staring up at us, we began to discuss their texts. We then pondered the connection between the poems and some biographical background: Britten and Pears' early collaboration, their trip to America, and eventual partnership. In my initial lesson notes, I'd pointed out that theirs was a relationship that was frowned upon in many corners, and would still be illegal for more than two decades after they returned to Great Britain. I asked: what resonances to Britten's life can be found in the poetry of Michelangelo?
My plan was to then turn to a discussion of how Britten depicts these texts and alludes to personal biography in the musical details of these songs.
But in light of cyberbullying and prejudice, the continued homophobia in American society seemed an unavoidable topic: one I didn't want to foist on the class but certainly wasn't going to avoid if they decided to broach it. Delicately, one of the students brought up Tyler Clementi's suicide. I was touched by how sensitively and maturely the other students in the class responded. They thoughtfully discussed the issues surrounding this terrible event, reflecting on how it affects their future work as teachers and musicians. They also reflected on how it should serve as a wake up call for their current lives, challenging them to speak out against teen suicide and try to be compassionate friends to their peers.
They pointed out that whether it is homophobia, racism, social, financial, or academic pressures that are troubling them, many young people are under duress and in need of compassion: both community support and sometimes professional help. As we saw this week, it's far too easy for someone to be treated with prejudice and cruelty, even today. As some of the students pointed out, among young people we sadly must say, "Especially today."
I'll remember many of the comments made by the students on Friday. Although, to respect their privacy, I won't share their more personal observations, there was one comment that brought us back to the music in eloquent fashion. It was the suggestion that Britten, indeed through the works we were studying that very day in class, could teach us a great deal about prejudice.
"What Britten sought, throughout his life, to portray in his music, was that if you treat someone like an outsider, we all suffer as a society: none of us can grow."
Although we didn't have time to find all of the musical intricacies in the songs, I'm very grateful for that lesson.

"Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my new blinds. From the very start, I was happy with the whole process. I called with some questions and a young girl named Tiffany had all the answers. She told me to call back when I was ready to place my order and she would be happy to help me. She was accurate and precise during the ordering process and even made a suggestion as to how I could cover a triple window in my home. Everything was perfect. I originally was going to have a professional installer put the blinds up, but after reading the "how to" on your website I decided to do the installation myself. The project turned out beautifully and my home has a whole new look. I'm sure it will be much warmer inside this winter, too! A friend told me about Decorate Today years ago, and I've used your products and your website ever since. Thanks again for having such a wonderful website, products and people to help me out!"

An Ultrasound Technician or sonographer is a healthcare professional who conducts ultrasound examinations to help physicians diagnose and screen medical conditions. A sonogram technician employs medical equipment using sound waves to capture images of internal tissues within the human body. These images are then used to diagnose such conditions such as cancer or heart disease, or to monitor fetal development in pregnancies.
Once an image suitable for diagnostic purposes has been captured correctly, the sonographer analyzes the ultrasound data. A sonographer's duties often include the gathering and record keeping of patient histories, including computerized image archiving. Sonographers may also assist with electronic clerical scheduling, and as they advance in their careers they may also have managerial and supervisorial duties.
The most common way to launch a career in sonography is to complete an associate degree program. These degrees are offered by community colleges, technical schools, and allied health organizations. They include course work in medical science, anatomy, physiology, and physics, as well as clinical techniques for selecting beam strength and direction and properly situating patients. Bachelor's programs in sonography and medical technology are also solid preparation for this career. These longer degrees commonly train students in other diagnostic tools as well, such as radiography and mammography. Students in these longer programs also have the opportunity to take a greater variety of general liberal arts courses. The Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs is the most important accrediting body for these two and four year programs in sonography.
A few schools also offer one year certificate programs in sonography. These are most useful for current professionals in the healthcare world, who would like to increase their diagnostic skill set by learning proper sonographic techniques.
There are no mandatory certification exams or licenses that sonographers are legally required to complete in order to be hired. However, ultrasound technicians with one of the recognized voluntary credentials will certainly have better job opportunities. These certifications are offered by professional organizations, after applicants have completed the requisite academic preparation and passed the organization's exam. The American Registry for Diagnostic Medical Sonography offers the Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer credential in several specialized areas; the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists also offers a credential, as does Cardiovascular Credentialing International.
