COLUMBUS, Ga.— THE Hughston Sports Medicine Hospital here in western Georgia may not be the Lourdes of ailing athletes, but it is certainly their Mecca.
Roger Clemens, the Boston Red Sox pitcher, who was the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1986, came here two years ago for shoulder surgery. Ray Knight, the former New York Met, who was named Most Valuable Player in last October's World Series, had an elbow operation here. And when Jack Nicklaus needed knee surgery, he, too, made the pilgrimage.
The only hospital in the nation dedicated principally to sports medicine, the state-of-the-art Hughston facility shows just how far this field has advanced since its infancy two decades ago. The $18.3 million, 100-bed Hughston also illustrates how sports medicine has become big business.
''Sports medicine is the hot button in medicine today,'' said Bernard Zelhoff, president of Orthopedic and Sports Therapy Products, a company based in Oakland, N. J. Indeed, by some estimates the number of sports medicine clinics in the nation has reached 1,000, up from 300 in 1980.
In New York, Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center has just opened a sports medicine clinic and the Hospital for Special Surgery is increasing the size of its clinic sevenfold. In Chicago, Northwestern Memorial Hospital and a dozen other hospitals already have them. Minnesota's Mayo Clinic and the Cleveland Clinic also offer sports medicine facilities, as do a number of the hospitals run by Humana Inc. and the Hospital Corporation of America.
And in suburbs all over America, podiatrists, family practitioners, physicial therapists and orthopedic surgeons are hanging out ''sports medicine'' shingles to woo weekend warriors suffering from tennis elbow or runner's knee.
''A lot of this sports medicine boom is entrepreneurial,'' said Dr. Jack Chandler Hughston, with a hint of disdain. The 69-year-sports-medicine pioneer is chairman and chief medicial officer of the three-year-old Georgia hospital that bears his name.
In light of the fitness boom, there certainly is a ready market for these entrepreneurs. According to a Harris Poll, one out of two American adults exercises regularly, and medical experts say one out of 10 of them suffers a sports-related injury each year.
More and more of the injured are turning to sports medicine for relief. ''Over the past 20 years, there have been so much sports shown on television that people have gotten exposed to sports medicine and realize that such services exist not just for the professional but for them, too,'' said James A. Nicholas, an orthopedic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital, who became famous for treating Joe Namath's knee.
Sports medicine for children is also growing, as youngsters and prodding parents get more serious about sports. ''We're seeing things in 9-year-old girls that we only used to see in scholarship-level male athletes,'' said Dr. Bernard R. Cahill, president of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine, which now has 1,000 members, compared with 70 a decade ago.
Putting a precise dollar value on all this is difficult. Sports medicine is made up of parts of other businesses -hospitals, private orthopedic practices, equipment makers and pharmaceutical companies, to name a few. But according to Dr. Nicholas at Lenox Hill, the annual cost of sports injuries, including hospital bills, physical therapy sessions and hours lost from work, exceeds $40 billion.
Narrowly defined, sports medicine consists of treating athletic injuries. ''The most common areas are the knee, ankle, shoulder and lower back,'' said James C. Puffer, a professor at the U.C.L.A. medical school and head physician for the 1988 United States Olympic team. Indeed, some insist it is merely orthopedics with a different name. And doctors say they often use the expertise they gain in dealing with athletes to treat patients injured in falls or auto accidents.
But most physicians are urging a broader definition, one that also includes providing athletes with medical expertise on conditioning and nutrition. And many others - trainers who work with dance companies and psychologists who try to provide school athletic teams with a winning attitude, for example - consider themselves practitioners of sports medicine, too. SPORTS medicine's blurred boundaries have sparked a debate about - and some moves toward - certification for the doctors, physical therapists, nutritionists and others who hold themselves out as experts. ''There are people who run quack physical therapy salons that try to attract exercisers and runners with all sorts of gimmickry and glitter without any of the experience that is necessary,'' said Dr. Cahill of the sports-medicine association.
As it grows, the world of sports medicine is generating other controversies, as well. There are disputes about the conflicting loyalties team physicians may feel toward athletes on the one hand and coaches and owners on the other. (See box). And some experts complain that while armies of experts serve professional athletes, too few resources go to treating and preventing the 900,000 injuries suffered each year by the nation's 5.6 million high school athletes.

Being Puerto Rico an Island in the Caribbean, we thought having a chalet close to the beach and to the forest was the best option to rest and forget about the daily stress.
Quietness, private pool, pool table, (2) big balcony. Resting is guaranteed.
A really great place to hang out. Quiet & private, but a short drive to beaches and restaurants. The opposite of hectic & crowded San Juan, but only about 35 minutes away if you want to spend the day there. Perfect for families. Hector was responsive & accommodating. A great choice.
The house had everything we needed for our entire group. Pool for kids, pool table for young adults, great kitchens and lounging area for adults. We were a party of 11 and it was perfect! Close to the rainforest, beaches, dining, everything!
La casa está perfectamente localizada con una vista espectacular al Yunque. 3 cuartos cómodos para 8 personas, todos con A/C. Cocina con todas las facilidades y balcón acogedor. La planta baja con espacio para muchas personas con mesa de billar, cocina, grill y fabulosa piscina. Toda la familia la pasamos maravillosamente bien y la recomendamos para pasar un buen tiempo. Carmen y Hector estuvieron accesibles y hasta nos permitieron un late check out. Solo una recomendación: una puerta en el baño del master room no vendría mal. Gracias mil.
We had a wonderful time in Puerto Rico and staying here was a big part of that. It was just our family of 5 including our 3 teenage boys. I would probably not recommend for more that 6 unless people don't mind sleeping together or in the middle of the living room. Although you could definitely entertain probably 80 people outside!!!
Here is what we REALLY loved about the place... The outdoor living area! We used the pool table every day when we were just hanging out snacking and sitting by the pool. The outdoor kitchen is awesome to have and we cooked and ate many meals there. Whether you wanted to be in the shade under a ceiling fan or swimming in the pool we could all still be together. Great outdoor sound system that you can just plug your phone into. Beautiful views and surroundings!!! Lots of animal noises that we enjoyed.. frogs, birds, horses, and the donkey 😉�. Playing basketball out there was fun too. So glad there was a ball! Also, having the extra bathroom down there was so convenient.
Great quality washer and dryer!
Very clean!
The upstairs deck was wonderful with its tables, chairs, hammock, and view!
The only thing I would definitely change is adding a little more seating for lounging inside. Currently only a futon. We ended up bringing in the chairs from the deck.
This place is a good mix of simple/rustic and updated. Kitchens are very modern and nice but no oven or dishwasher. Tons of pots/pans and dishes and utensils!
Bathroom fixtures are nice.
The rustic part: the old wood floors are slightly separated in places peaking down to the outdoor lower level. Exterior doors are a bit tough to open sometimes. Lighting.
There were 6 good quality beach towels and 6 portable beach chairs (we took those to beach). Plenty of nice white bath towels and washcloths, closet space, drawers, blankets.
It was a fabulous and different place to stay and will definitely stay again if we have an opportunity. Thank you!!!
We stay in VRBO all over the island and this one is special. It has a combination of rustic and modern. My 4 kids loved having a pool after a full day of exploring the island. It's very clean and well maintained. I wish I would have had better directions the first day and more towels.
This was almost the perfect house in an idyllic setting for our group of 8 twenty-somethings. It's a great place to bond as a group and conducive to hanging out, cooking, and listening to music.
What we loved:
-Beautiful 360-degree views w/ lots of great bird watching (and listening) to be had from either the lower level patio or the top level deck. Bring binoculars if you have them (or buy them if you don't, it'll be worth it. Check out the Wirecutter for a great review on what to get).
-Phenomenal outdoor living area with several seating areas and tables on both upper and lower levels
-8 speaker outdoor soundsystem and headphone cable hookup.
-Outdoor kitchen on lower level with huge island
-Fully functional AC in all upstairs rooms with individual zone control
-Coqui noises at night, bird songs during the day. There's also some chickens and donkeys nearby. Bring ear plugs if these bother you.
-There's a blender and a citrus juicer!
-2 hammocks
-Clean, fully functional bathrooms
-Beach towels (6) & chairs (3)
-New washer/dryer setup
What we didn't love:
-The grill/oven/griddle unit lacked any sort of instructions to go with it and was also in slight disrepair—not to the point of inoperability, but enough to be very annoying. The starter is broken, the labels have long ago worn off of every dial and switch, the provided grill lighter is unreliable, One of the knobs didn't work at all and popped right off, and the whole thing was was FILTHY when we opened it.
-The listing specifies that the hot tub heater is broken. But the pool relies on the hot tub for heating. This renders the pool unusably cold (felt like <70 degrees F) for anything more than cooling down for a couple minutes at a time. No good for swimming/hanging out.
-Sofa bed is totally broken and needs to be replaced
-The ceiling fans in the house don't work.
-Only provided one remote opener for the front gate to the gated community. Really should give 2 since groups w/ more than 5 ppl will need multiple cars.
-A house for up to 10 ppl should come with a dishwasher.
Bonus tips:
-Go to Costco in San Juan before coming to Luquillo. Groceries are expensive and of mediocre quality. Selectos in Rio Del Mar is closer. Amigo in Luquillo is cheaper, but essentially just a groceries-only Walmart with a different name.
-The Hacienda Carabali restaurant is only $1-2 more expensive per dish than the Luquillo Kiosks for the same food
...gated community, beautiful views & pool, conveniet local, semi-updated inside, & out.This home could be great with updates, cleaner finishes on their DIY projects, & a guide to navigate it's quirks!
My Husband, our 4 kids (2, 6, 10, 13), & I arrived in the evening. We used the written directions, & not the HomeAway GPS location. The house is fenced in, & has a gate with a chain, at the edge of the driveway.
The front door was hard to open all the way. The home was hot when we arrived, & has no screens in the living area, but it has 4 AC units. The lighting inside is dim. The home has lots of storage, kitchen supplies, beach toys, & love the hammocks!
We headed to the pool night 1. The pool lights were on, but the problem was finding the other lights outside. Countless amounts of light switches all around, a lot of which went to nothing. Labels are an easy fix.
On our 1st night, between 10-11pm, we found out our neighbors had a very loud donkey. His fav times of day to "talk" 10-11pm, 5-7am. 6-8am: roosters, dogs, construction, ATV'S, neighborhood landscapers & firecrackers.
The morning of day 2, we were shocked to see men walking around the property. They were pool guys & we inconvienced our day until they left. When we came back home, our gate was open! Nothing was missing, but it's alarming.
We discovered a window that had slid down it's broken frame, leaving a 2 inch gap. We covered it with a plastic bag & informed the manager about our day 1 troubles, who apolgized. No one came to fix the window, which could easily fall out.
There's no video game system as advertised. No screens in living area. Not enough couch seating, so we used the sofa bed for movie night & it's broken! There's no support at one end. It took force & finesse to close it. Judging by the condition, this was the tactic everyone used.
There's no oven, but the large Grill has one. When we saw it's broken knobs, we left it alone.
The master bed is too springy, my husband's movements woke me up. But the matress is comfortable.
The bathrooms have nice finishes, but the tub has a huge area of repair tape on the wall, & another big hole left uncovered. The bathroom, has gaps between the floor boards. You can see the 1st floor. The shower head is too low, & hot water takes a while. The faucets spit water on you when turned on all the way. Mold & mildew in the tubs & patio furniture, gross! There's litter on the property, & cigarette butts around the stairs. Gross!

South Park RPG - Good Times With Weapons: The Combat
GameInformer has an interview with Matt MacLean, Lead Designer on Obsidian's South Park RPG. It's a 6 minute direct to camera conversation with only a couple of still shots to break it up but - here's the accompanying blurb:
Combine Obsidian Entertainment's extensive knowledge of RPG design with the personal gaming tastes of South Park's Matt Stone and Trey Parker and you end up with the combat mechanics of South Park: The Game. Taking cues from the Paper Mario series, the combat is a turn-based exercise that depends largely on the player's active and precise participation. Matt MacLean is the lead designer on the game and he sat down with us to talk about the tone of the overall game, the mechanics of combat, and what the South Park RPG has learned from Final Fantasy 7.

Every year we celebrate with a special anniversary cake. Why should someone just eat their anniversary cake topper the first year, right? I actually think it is a gross tradition to freeze the cake top and then eat it a year later. Now if you are looking for a cake that tastes like sawdust, then it is a great tradition. On our first celebration, we ordered a replica of the top for our anniversary cake. It was a vanilla bean cake filled with Bavarian cream topped with lime fondant. To this day, Jude, our son, has not been very forgiving that we did not save him a piece. Apparently, Dann and I can not be left alone with a cake!
Dann and I are not exactly what people consider normal. We both have a serious side but we also have a whimsical, fun-loving side. For our wedding, we decided to go with fun. To both my mother and mother-in-law's chagrin we threw out the etiquette book and decided to have some fun. Our wedding revolved around some of our favorite things. There are few things we love waffles, cartoons and cake! We had a morning wedding and then brunch to follow. My husband would tell you, real men don't "brunch", so let's just call it breakfast and save ourselves a ton of grief hearing the long explanation of why.
My son, now our son, Jude, was the best man. Thus, he gave the toast at our wedding. He was just nine years old when he wrote his precious toast. Jude and I had been on our own for 7 years before I met Dann. I had never wanted to date much because I did not want men in and out of Jude's life. I prayed for a long time for God to bring the right man for our family. Sometimes, it seemed like forever. But God's timing is not always our timing, thank goodness. He brought Dann at just the right time. The cutest memory I have, was not long after letting Jude meet Dann and we were on our way to a basketball game. Jude and I were walking together and my father and Dann were walking behind us. Jude, looked up at me with his big brown eyes, and asked, "Mommy, can we keep him?" In my heart, I sure hoped so.
Jude's Toast
I want to say a few more things:
First of all, I want to thank my mom for picking a great guy like Dann.
Second, I am excited about having a father again. I am really thankful that Dann is going to be a good influence in my life.
Last, I want you to know that I am so happy that someone else gets to take care of Mommy now. I'm ready for a rest!
Love you both. Cheers!
I pretty much thought that was the cutest toast, EVER, even though I was trying to hold back the tears. It's amazing the things kid's say when they share their heart. It's interesting being a single mom of a little boy. There are many times I watched him carry burdens he was never meant to carry. Even though he was little, he was very protective of me. It's funny that innate sense to protect, even in a little boy.
The toasts have been made and now it's our favorite time. It's time to eat CAKE! This year I decided to make a mini version for our anniversary cake. Our cake was based on the movie Monster's Inc. My husband, loves and I mean LOVES Monster's, Inc., He had never seen the movie prior to meeting me. Being the mom of a young boy, Dann was welcomed into a whole new genre of movies he had never seen. After we introduced Dann to Mike, Sully and Boo he was hooked. There are so many Friday movie night's where
Jude , I mean Dann wants to watch Monster's Inc. Five years later, lots of things have changed. Our fourteen year old is TOO COOL for Monster's Inc., and we are left to watch it together and reminisce about the "days of little Jude" and where did it all go. For our anniversary cake I decided to make our favorites. The bottom was a vanilla bean cake with salted caramel frosting, the middle tier was banana caramel and the top-tier was dark chocolate with vanilla bean swiss meringue buttercream.
For those of you who follow me on Instagram we had a vote over the weekend on if you could have some of our left over cake scraps which would you choose, vanilla bean or banana caramel. Banana Caramel was the hands down winner. To celebrate my anniversary with you I decided to share my husband's favorite cake. This cake is great even with out the frosting. Click on {Recipe} for the printable version.
Anniversary Cake Banana Caramel {Recipe}
2 ½ Cups minus 4 Tablespoons
4 Tablespoons Potato Starch
1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Soda
1 ½ Teaspoons Baking Powder
½ Teaspoons Salt
2 Large Bananas
4 Tablespoons Buttermilk
1 ½ Cups Brown Sugar
1 Cup Unsalted Butter
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Yields three 6 inch cakes or two 8 inch cakes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line three 6 inch cakes with parchment circles and spray with Bake Joy.
In a bowl combine flour, potato starch, baking soda, baking powder and salt into a bowl. In a small bowl, use a fork to mash together the banana and buttermilk. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer beat butter until creamy. Add brown sugar and beat for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Add flour mixture in two parts and beat on low-speed. Fold in banana mixture.
Divide batter amongst the three pans evenly. Use a kitchen scale to weigh to help achieve an even amount in each pan.
Since ovens vary, so do baking times. Also, this recipe is baked on the 6 inch baking time. For an 8 inch cake I would check at 26 minutes and see where the cake is at. For a 6 inch cake, start with 32 minutes and then check on the cake. When the skewer or toothpick comes out clean it is done. If the cake is not done at 32 min add 3 minute intervals and check.
Caramel Swiss Meringue Buttercream {Recipe}
- 1 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 4 egg whites (at room temperature)
- 3 sticks of butter, cut into cubes and at room temp
- pinch of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of cream of tartar
To make the frosting, whisk the sugar and egg whites together in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Place the bowl over a simmering pot of water and whisk until the eggs are very hot (160 degrees) and the sugar has completely dissolved. With the whisk attachment, whisk on high until the mixture is light and fluffy and has cooled, approximately 10 minutes. IMPORTANT: when the mixture begins to look frothy, after about 2 minutes, stop mixer add cream of tartar. Then continue mixing. Drop butter into the mixer 2 or 3 cubes at a time. After all of the butter has been added if it looks curdled or separated then mix on high for 3 to 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
At this point switch to paddle attachment once the frosting has come together add caramel slowly until swirled.
Leftovers may be stored in the refrigerator for 7 days or frozen for three months. Set the frosting out 1-2 hours ahead of time and then mix using the paddle attachment for a couple of minutes on medium.
Caramel Sauce
- 1 ½ cup sugar
- 1 ¼ heavy cream
- pinch of sea salt
In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, cook sugar over medium heat until the mixture begins to melt around the edges, about 5 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until the sugar is melted and has turned a golden color, about 3 minutes longer.
Carefully pour the cream down the side of the pan in a slow steady stream. Stir constantly until completely smooth. Stir in salt. Pour caramel into a heat proof bowl and let cool completely before using.
Putting It All Together
This cake was made to be a 3 layer, 6 inch cake. Let each cake cool completely. When cakes are baking most cakes develop a dome. Look for the lowest part of the cake. Take a serrated knife and cut at that level. As silly as this sounds I use a sight leveler to see if I have cut the cake level. This makes stacking much easier for me. Once you have cut the cake tops off you are ready to frost your cake.
Fill a pastry bag half full of buttercream. Refill as needed. I use Bakery Craft's 8PT tip. It is a large wide mouth tip. This helps you fill and frost a cake evenly. It also help you keep from getting crumbs stuck in your frosting. Fill bottom layer of the cake in a circular motion till completely covered. Now when I make our cake, I slice fresh banana and drizzle caramel over each layer as well. Take an offset spatula to smooth out frosting. Repeat with each layer. Now that the three layers are stacked we will frost the sides. Turn cake in a clockwise motion while applying pressure to the pastry bag around the sides of the cake.
If you have never made a cake in this fashion there are a ton of amazing YouTube videos with tutorials of how to frost a cake this way.
Thank you so much for letting me share my special anniversary cake with you. I hope you enjoy our banana caramel cake recipe!

Intercontinental business jets
A look at current business aircraft development shows large-cabin long-range transonic jets will lead the way.
By Don Van Dyke
ATP/Helo/CFII. F28, Bell 222
With a projected cruise speed of M1.4, the Aerion SSBJ is shown in this graphic flying off the coast of Africa—a transatlantic sector well within its 4200-nm design range from North America.
Future business jet development goals are clear—meet operational needs of capacity, speed and access with quieter, cleaner, increasingly reliable and energy-efficient airplanes.
US President Obama's State of the Union address sets a challenge to "out-innovate, out-educate and out-build the rest of the world." In this, air transport is key to US competitiveness.
Business jets are used mainly to transport high-value passengers, including heads of state and government officials, business executives and subject matter experts. The global mobility afforded permits leaders to manage multiple engagements like military missions, medical pandemics, disaster relief efforts, or sales and marketing.
The core value of business aviation is its ability to reach destinations and meet schedules beyond the limitations of airlines. Fewer than 3% of business jets are used privately.
Large-cabin intercontinental business aircraft
Bizjets are grouped loosely by cabin volume, range and price. Those most closely resembling airliners are large-cabin intercontinental aircraft (usually under 100,000 lbs MTOW) accommodating 8–19 passengers and 2–4 crew and capable of reaching destinations between 2800 and 6750 nm distant.
Typical cruising altitude is FL510, while cabin altitude is held to 5000–6000 ft. Prices range from $37–60 million each. When it comes to plans to purchase, 40% of aircraft considered in 2010 were large-cabin types, representing 70% of the dollar value of forecast sales. Most of these sales were expected in Europe and the Middle East, but the prolonged recession affected all demand channels and is not expected to ease until 2012.
Development trends
Centered on New York as an example, great circle distances show the reach of typical large-cabin intercontinental business aircraft.
Range, size and speed needs drive the business aviation market and, in turn, aircraft development. Current designs have the potential to achieve and improve on these goals—but manufacturers must manage the risks of incorporating new technologies and customers must decide how much they are willing to pay for enhanced capabilities and efficiencies.
Range. Current demand reflects the increasing need for aircraft capable of transpacific flights as well as growth in demand in other regions requiring more long-range operations. Range goals (to be satisfied by the Gulfstream G650 in 2012, the Bombardier Global 7000 in 2016 and the Global 8000 in 2017) will outpace desire for greater speed to at least 2020.
Size. The market shift to larger aircraft classes derives from needed range and preferred cabin volume. However, the attendant weight may preclude operations at airports with weight limitations or may require sacrificing range. The G650 is just under the 100,000-lb weight limit at ASE and TEB, but the Global 8000 weighs almost 105,000 lbs and the Global 7000 over 106,000 lbs.
Speed. The G650 leads presently as the fastest civil aircraft, with maximum operating cruise at Mach 0.925. Subsonic speed, while important, will only become an object of competitive attention once greater range objectives are met.
Development of the Gulfstream G650 continues, the aircraft having recently reached Mach 0.995 as part of its flight test program. When it enters service in 2012, the G650 will be a market leader in terms of speed and range.
Interestingly, the results of a recent NASA study of 4 concept aircraft—meeting aggressive environmental goals—for the 2030–35 period—showed common themes such as cruising slower (M 0.70–0.75) and higher (45,000 ft) than today's aircraft to reduce drag and save fuel.
Performance goals and innovations
NASA's goals for 2030 aircraft are as follows.
• A 71-dB reduction below current noise standards
• Reduction of greater than 75% below ICAO CAEP/6 NOx emission standards
• A greater than 70% reduction in specific fuel consumption to reduce greenhouse gas
• Ability to exploit metroplex concepts enabling the use of runways at multiple airports within metropolitan areas
Breakthrough technologies can be applied to deliver more efficient, cost-effective and operationally superior aircraft. However, these yields rely on promised enhancements in air traffic management such as the use of automated decision-making tools for enroute spacing and during departure climbs and arrival descents.
Powerplants. Recent engine innovations yield significant fuel savings, reduced emissions and improved noise containment. The 4 designs most visible today are described below. The PW1000G geared turbofan is included for its remarkable potential for fuel saving.
Extended diversion time operations (EDTO).
FAA exempts private jets from ETOPS, but they remain subject to the ETOPS 120-min rule in EASA/JAA jurisdiction. Global mobility, reach and deployment requirements, as well as possible insurance standards, imply that long-range business aircraft will—voluntarily at least—meet 180-min ETOPS rules.
Fuels. One universal aviation goal is to reduce dependence on traditional carbon-based fuels. Doubts regarding alternative fuels in long-range business aviation may soon be settled under a contract awarded by Qantas to a US-based renewable energy company to study the sustainability of algae-based aviation fuel. Moreover, approval of biofuels for use in aircraft is expected by mid-2011.
Smart/multifunctional materials. Carbon nanotubes exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties, and are efficient thermal conductors. Atomic-level avionics are another future possibility.
A nanotechnology-based polymer is being tested on aircraft as an acrylic exterior polish to reduce fuel burn by 1–2% by smoothing the aircraft's surface to prevent collection of debris.

Curried Coconut-Seafood Soup (Seafood Rassa)
Hemant Oberoi uses seafood from India's West Coast for this bouillabaisse-like rassa. A cross between a soup and a curry, the rassa is spiked with coconut milk and laden with mussels and shrimp. Steamed basmati rice or warm naan—or both—are key for sopping up the rich, thick broth.

- 1 1/2 cups fish stock or water
- One 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 tomato, finely chopped
- Salt
- 1 pound mussels, scrubbed and debearded
- 3/4 pound medium shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Steamed basmati rice and warm naan, for serving
How to make this recipe
In a medium enameled cast-iron casserole, melt the butter. Add the onion, carrot, garlic, jalapeño and ginger and cook over moderately high heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the curry leaves, Madras curry powder, turmeric and fenugreek and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the fish stock, coconut milk and tomato and season lightly with salt. Cook over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, about 15 minutes. Add the mussels and shrimp and cook until the shrimp are opaque and the mussels have opened, about 3 minutes; discard any mussels that don't open. Stir in the cilantro and lemon juice and serve with steamed rice and naan.
Make Ahead
The fish soup can be refrigerated overnight. Rewarm; add the cilantro and lemon juice before serving.
Fresh curry leaves, which resemble small bay leaves and have an aromatic flavor, are available from kalustyans.com.
Suggested Pairing
Zippy, lime-scented, dry Riesling is a good match for both the rich coconut milk and the exotic spices in this dish.

Yitzhak Rabin – from solider to Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
Yitzhak Rabin was born in Jerusalem on March 1, 1922.Yitzhak's parents, Nehemiah and Rosa, were Third Aliyah (immigration wave) pioneers. Nehemiah Rubitzov, who had been born in a small Ukrainian town in 1886, lost his father when he was only a child and the youngster had to help support the family. When he was 18 years old he went to the United States, where he joined the Poalei Zion (Workers of Zion) Party and also changed his surname to Rabin. In 1917 he went to Palestine with Hagdud Ha'ivri (Jewish Legion) volunteers, determined to settle in Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel). Yitzhak's mother, Rosa Cohen, was born in 1890 in Mohilev in White Russia. Her father, a rabbi, was opposed to the Zionist movement. However, he sent Rosa to study at a Christian high school for girls in Homel, exposing her to a wider general education. From an early age she was drawn to revolutionary circles, and was socially and politically active. She arrived in Palestine in 1919 on the ship Rosslan, which is considered the bellwether of the Third Aliyah. She went first to a collective settlement (Kibbuz) on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, and later to Jerusalem. There she met Nehemiah and the two married in 1921. When Yitzhak Rabin was a year old, the family moved first to Haifa and then to Tel Aviv. His sister Rachel was born in 1925. Rabin's parents were volunteer activists for most of their lives, and the home had a permanent atmosphere of commitment to public service. Rosa was active in the Haganah defense organization, in Mapai - the Eretz Israel Workers' Party - and was a Tel Aviv Municipal Council member. She died of an illness when Yitzhak was fifteen years old.
Yitzhak attended the School for Workers' Children in Tel Aviv for eight years. The school was established in 1924 by the Histadrut, the General Federation of Labor. It aimed to instill in the city's young people a love of the country and practically, to raise a generation to till the land. Pupils were taught to honor responsibility, sharing and solidarity, and to be actively involved in social issues. The writer Eliezer Smoli, who taught Yitzhak Rabin there, portrayed a year in the life of Rabin's class in his book Bnei Hayoreh (Sons of the First Rain) published in 1936.
His studies
After completing his studies at the School for Workers' Children, Rabin spent two years at the intermediary regional school of Kibbutz Givat Hashlosha. He then enrolled in the Kadoorie Agricultural School, at the foot of northern Mount Tabor. A number of Kadoorie alumni later became commanders in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and leaders of the new state. The school insisted on old-world principles of honor, trust and truth. This is what Yitzhak Rabin wrote about his days in Kadoorie.The school was surrounded by Arab villages, and the daily routine at school included defense training and guard duty. While at Kadoorie, Rabin joined the Haganah. There he met Yigal Allon, who later became his commander and a friend for many years.
First days in the army
Yitzhak Rabin soon became a full-time commander in the Palmach. When Palmach battalions were established at the beginning of 1945, he was appointed deputy commander of the First Battalion. During this period the Palmach developed its combat doctrine. The main principles were independent and original thinking, resourcefulness, and improvisation to meet prevailing circumstances. These were considered superior to a routine of strict discipline and hard training. As a guiding principle, the Palmach emphasized that the commander's authority must derive from personal example demonstrated to those under his command rather than from traditional hierarchy and chain of command.
At the end of 1945, the Palmach attempted to free 200 "illegal" held at the British detention camp of Atlit, south of Haifa. Rabin was the deputy commander of this operation and he led the assault force that broke into the camp. On June 29, 1946, a day that became known as Black Saturday, he and others, including his father, were arrested by the British, and sent to a detention camp. He was freed in November 1946. Yitzhak Rabin was at once appointed commander of the Palmach's Second Battalion, and in October 1947 he became the Palmach's chief operations officer.
Rabin and the war of independence
On November 29, 1947, the United Nations General Assembly agreed to implement the Palestine Partition Plan to set up a Jewish and an Arab state in this territory which was then under British mandate. Dissenting Arabs began attacking the Yishuv (the pre-state Jewish community) to thwart the establishment of a Jewish state. They attacked Jewish settlements and towns and opened fire on Jewish vehicles on the roads. Poorly armed and ill equipped, the Jewish defense forces, especially the permanently mobilized arm of the Haganah, the Palmach, fought back as best they could. The fighting was hard and bitter and many lives were lost. Six thousand Jews fell during the full period of the fight for independence. That was one percent of the entire Yishuv. On May 14, 1948 in Tel Aviv, David Ben Gurion proclaimed an independent State of Israel. The next day, the regular armies of the surrounding Arab states invaded the new born state and the full-blown War of Independence began.
At the
start of the war, Jerusalem was cut off from the center of the country by enemy
positions. Yitzhak Rabin's first task was to safeguard convoys of food,
ammunition and medical supplies to the beleaguered city. In April 1948, the
Palmach Harel Brigade was established, with Rabin as commander. The fiercest
battles were on the central front, in the corridor leading to Jerusalem, and
within the city. Rabin played a major role in all of them, in which many of his
friends and comrades fell.
In the
midst of the War of Independence, Rabin married Lea Schlossberg. They had two
children, Dalia and Yuval. Yitzhak Rabin decided his fate was with the Israeli
Defense Forces (IDF), and he remained in the armyn. 1963 Yitzhak Rabin was appointed commander of the IDF's
first course for battalion commanders and later as head of the general staff's
Operations Division. In May 1959 Rabin became chief of the Operations Branch,
the second highest position in the IDF, under Chief of Staff Chaim Laskov. It
was the first time he was faced with tackling the problems of every facet of the
defense forces from a strategic position.
Rabin as the Chief of Staff in the Six Days War
in the Middle East had been rising steadily since the beginning of the 1960s.
Israel built its National Water Carrier, bringing water from the Sea of Galilee
and the Jordan River to the Negev, despite Arab attempts to divert the Jordan
May 1967, President Nasser escalated the tension by massing troops in the Sinai,
which contravened the 1957 agreements. He expelled the United Nations forces
that since 1957 had been based in Sinai as a buffer between the Egyptian and
Israeli armies. They also guaranteed freedom of navigation to Eilat, Israel's
sole southern harbor on the Red Sea. Now Nasser declared a full blockade of the
Strait of Tiran and a ban on all ships flying the Israeli flag or bringing
strategic cargoes to Eilat.
June 5, 1967, virtually all the Air Force's combat planes took to the air in a
massive assault on Arab air forces. Taken by surprise, most of their planes were
caught on the ground and destroyed. With total air superiority, the armored and
infantry forces had a clear road to invade the Sinai. The Egyptian army was
defeated within days and pulled back to the Suez Canal.
Ambassador to the United States
Rabin left the IDF at the beginning of 1968, after 27 years of service. He was
appointed as Ambassador to the United States of America, a post he held for five
years. The two main topics that preoccupied him during his tenure were fostering
solid U.S.-Israeli ties, and opening a peace process with Arab states.
Rabin becomes Minister of Labor
When he
returned from Washington in 1973, Yitzhak Rabin joined the Labor Party. In the
election he won a place as number 20 on its Labor list for the Eighth Knesset
(Israeli Parliament). The Yom Kippur War broke out in October 1973 with a
surprise attack launched jointly by Egypt and Syria.
conducted stubborn and exhausting negotiations over post-war interim agreements
with Egypt and Syria, which were mediated by U.S. Secretary of State Dr. Henry
Kissinger in his famous shuttle diplomacy.
Shimon Peres was elected as the Labor Party candidate for the premiership in the elections of May 17, 1977. These elections brought about the historic 'turnaround.' The Labor Party, which had led the state from its beginnings, was routed by the charismatic new leader of the Likud, Menachem Begin.
1984, a national unity government was formed and Yitzhak Rabin was appointed
minister of defence. He held the post for six years, until the collapse of the
second national unity government in 1990. One of his major tasks was to
disengage the IDF from a war of attrition in Lebanon where it had become stuck
since the 1982 invasion – the Shalom Hagalil Operation (Peace for the Galilee
the end of 1987, the Intifada erupted. This Palestinian popular uprising in the
occupied territories caught Israel completely by surprise and rapidly escalated
to alarming proportions. As the Intifada captured huge international interest,
Israel's military and political leaders were slow to comprehend its magnitude
and significance.
Prime Minister for a second term
After its repeated failure to regain power, the Labor Party put Yitzhak Rabin at the helm again. In the 1992 election campaign, Rabin swept up mass support and the slogan "Israel is waiting for Rabin" became the winning one. He became prime minister, and established a coalition government with Meretz (liberal-left), and with Shas (a Mizrahi, ultra-Orthodox, but somewhat dovish party). He himself kept the defense portfolio. Now in office, he immediately moved a peace agreement with the Palestinians to the top of his list of priorities.
perennial rivalry between Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres over the leadership of
the Labor Party, which had lasted since 1974, now came to an end. The two
finally came together to cooperate fully in the peace process. Rabin's reluctant
journey to accepting the PLO as a
partner for peace was a prolonged and painful process. He finally realized that
it is with an enemy one negotiates peace, and Israel had no other partner for an
agreement except the PLO.
Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Rabin, Peres and Arafat
The 1994 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Yitzhak Rabin, Shimon Peres and Yasser Arafat. All three politicians had played a large role in the pursuit of peace in the Middle East and were rewarded for their efforts since the Oslo Agreement. In his speech at the award ceremony, Rabin described his own development from war hero to peace hero (to Rabin's Nobel Peace Prize speech).
Following the signing of the Declaration of Principles, extremists opposed to the peace process began a campaign of terrorist attacks. Yitzhak Rabin vowed to pursue the peace process as if there was no terrorism while fighting terrorism as if there was no peace process. On May 4, 1994 Rabin signed The Gaza-Jericho Agreement, which granted the Palestinians autonomy in Gaza and Jericho. The IDF left Jericho and the Gaza Strip, but continued to defend the Jewish settlements left in the territories. On September 13, 1995, Israel and the PLO signed the Oslo B Agreement, which expanded West Bank areas under control of the new Palestinian Authority. A comprehensive treaty between Israel and Jordan was signed in October 1994, the culmination of this new Middle East peace process.
Rabin's peace policy received broad support from the people of Israel, but it
enraged many sectors who opposed compromise with the PLO and territorial
concessions. These included Jewish settlers in the West Bank, Gaza and to a
lesser extent in the Golan, the religious extreme right, and many Likud Party
On the
night of Saturday November 4, 1995, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin traveled to the
Kings of Israel Square in Tel Aviv where tens of thousands of Israeli peace
supporters massed to assure him of their enthusiastic support. He spoke at the
rally (to
Rabin's last speech). They
rallied with wild enthusiasm under banners that proclaimed "Yes to Peace -
No to Violence."

From day one Mr. Portilla presented as being understanding and supportive. He never made us feel embarrassed or ashamed about our situation. We went to Mr. Portilla for help during the heat of the recession thinking about Bankruptcy. It was a very difficult time and his demeanor gave us comfort by offering us different options. Right from the beginning, Mr. Portilla always made himself accessible and he was always responsive to our phone calls. I remember we met him for the first time on a Friday afternoon and he called us that Sunday night to follow up on the case. He was very helfpful throughout the process and I referred him to 2 of my friends to help them also get through some tough financial times.

Mr. Portilla is a man who is not only a man of great knowledge in bankruptcy he is a man of integrity. I highly recommend Julio E. Portilla.
Posted by anonymous
I was referred to the Law Office of Mr. Portilla by a friend.
When I filed for bankruptcy I was very nervous. The minute I stepped into Julio's office and heard him speak I was put at ease. Julio really looks out for the interest of his clients, his knowledge and perseverance is underestimated. Talk about a guy who knows what he is doing. I was surprised at how attentive and responsive he was, usually you have to call the lawyers a few times until you get a response. Julio would contact me and walk me through the entire process. I never felt lost, and the entire process was very stress free thanks to Mr. Portilla.
I have a will definitely recommend Mr. Portilla to my friends.
Thank you Julio!

Hi Sue
Thank you for that good suggestion. It could certainly be a case
of the vicar or parish clerk being hard of hearing.
The IGI does not have any Oxtoby events at Sigglesthorne
but he could have been working or apprenticed there before his
marriage. The couple had seven children baptized at Wetwang
between 1801 and 1811. I hope to find out more when I look at
the baptism details as Bapts. and Burials are recorded Dade
style at Wetwang between 1780 and 1812.
Thank you for you input and prompt response.

REDLANDS - Students returned to school Monday for the first time since a quadruple shooting Wednesday night left two high schoolers dead and two others wounded.
The day resembled any other school day at Redlands High school, with students milling about the campus, eating lunch on the lawn and flooding Citrus Avenue after the final bell rang.
But for Chloe Rediker, a 16-year- old junior, Monday was also a day of hard realizations.
That's because she had known the two slain students, Quinn McCaleb, 17, and Andrew Jackson, 16, since middle school.
Both boys were fatally shot Wednesday night when an unidentified gunman opened fire on them and three other boys at a Redlands apartment complex.
The incident loomed over students like a cloud on Monday as they came back to Redlands High from winter break.
"Being this area, you think you'll always be safe but that's not always the case," Chloe said.
The shooting shocked her and made her question her own safety in the city where she lives and goes to school.
"Everything is kind of different," she said. "You're more aware of your surroundings now."
Redlands Unified administrators worked to keep students focused on academics and return to a schedule, said Chief Academic Officer Paul Cullen.
"The principals' goal is to make things as routine as possible for the kids," Cullen said.
The principals spent most of Monday out of their offices, Cullen said. They were out walking their campuses, monitoring the students' first day back after the winter break.
To cut down on the distractions, members of the media were not allowed on the campuses Monday during school hours.
Junior Marcos Flores, 16, said he first found out about the shooting Thursday night from a friend and then read about it on Facebook.
"It's like you're starting a new year and somebody you knew ... passed away,' he said. "It's hard not to see them."
Flores said his teachers did not acknowledge the shooting, instead choosing to direct student attention to academics.
"They didn't even mention it today so we could just focus on school," he said. "We could have at least acknowledged it for a little bit and then continued on."
The school district had counselors deployed at its four high schools - Redlands, Citrus Valley, Redlands East Valley and Orangewood - said school board President Patty Holohan.
The counselors will likely stay on the campuses for at least a week, she said.
"All we can do is get the students ready for the new semester and to pray for the families," Holohan said.
But the district's main goal is to get the students ready to get back to the business of learning as quickly as possible, she said.
Law enforcement was visibly present in and around all four of the district's high schools, bolstering patrols and on-campus security. Sheriff's patrols were beefed up around Redlands East Valley, which is in Mentone, while Redlands police patrolled the other three.
Police Lt. Chris Catren said officers were ready to deal with any issues at the schools, but they were also deployed to make the students and their parents feel better about campus safety.
"We wanted to try and ease the minds of the parents bringing their kids to the different high schools," Catren said. "It's just to let them know that we're there."
Though the increased police presence was, in part, meant to give students more confidence about their safety, some students said the added patrols did just the opposite.
"I know they're there to try and make you feel more safe about the situation," Chloe said, "but I think that, if anything, it kind of makes me feel more uncomfortable knowing that they have to be there."
Chloe's grandmother, Patty Van Dyke, 69, said Chloe was "scared to death" and "afraid to come back to school" after the shooting deaths of boys her granddaughter knew.
The sight of police officers standing watch just up the block was both reassuring and unsettling, she said.
"I mean, I like to see the police here, to protect (the students)," Van Dyke said, "but they are a reminder of what happened."

Welcome to Sri Montessori Early Learning Sdn Bhd! We would like to use this opportunity to tell you more about our centres and the principals so as to give you, the parents, the opportunity to gain a wider knowledge of the company to whom you entrust your children.
The last few months have been very exciting we have been painting a centre, employed several new staff and begun to increase and improve the equipment in all the centres as well as a host of other improvements, advancements and events.
We have been researching a number of enrichment programmes for all our centres and are currently in communication with educationists involved with art, computers, music, yoga, dance, language, maths, drama and movement to mention a few. We are excited to say that some if not all of these programmes will be available around the centres shortly.
In conjunction with our enrichment programmes we have introduced 'Reading Corners' in all of our centres. We are investing in new books both locally and abroad. We hope to support this reading enrichment initiative by giving the parents an opportunity to purchase quality books for home use. Catalogues for British book clubs are available from the principals of each centre and further information regarding ordering and payment can obtained from either the principal or Head Office.Louisehttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-732801265349424771.post-9937611722605759432008-08-13T14:46:00.000+08:002008-08-13T14:47:44.674+08:00Kindergartens, Montessori, Day Care & Early Learning Bangsar Malaysia

HOLIDAY PROGRAMMES
Each school is committed to hosting holiday programmes, for children both from the school and for those from outside. Understanding the needs of working parents and those looking to further their child's development outside the timetable of the academic year. All schools will be happy to enlighten you on their programmes.

QUANTUM ENGLISH
Quantum English is currently available in our Damansara Utama branch. It is being run by Eve, who is also running the day-care programme there. The aim of the programme is to enhance your child's English language proficiency by providing native English speaking instruction in a traditional and lively way.

MENGANJI
Manganji is currently available in our Damansara Utama branch. It is designed for ages 3 to 7 and is a basic early introduction to the Arabic alphabet, simple recitations and stories depicting Islamic values.

MUSIC & MOVEMENT
We have a professional music and movement teacher who comes to each school once a week, enhancing the children's' fine and gross motor skills as well as their understanding of music and their physical capabilities and controls therein.

CELEBRATIONS AND EVENTS
We were so happy to be able to host Spring Carnivals at our Damansara Utama and Damansara Jaya branches this May. This was a wonderful opportunity for children, parents and teachers to get together to play games, socialise and have a whole lot of funJ
We are excitedly looking forward to these ongoing events in the future. A big thank you to everyone who pitched in with donations, prizes, food and most importantly...their time. Thank you!Louisehttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-732801265349424771.post-75074458081558773932008-08-13T14:21:00.002+08:002008-08-13T14:30:47.182+08:00Message from the Principal

Kindergartens, Montessori, Day Care & Early Learning Bangsar Malaysia

Bangsar

'We have come a long way since we were established in 1997. The taska has a pleasant environment in a bungalow setting with a fair sized garden for children to play in. People come from as far afield as Klang itself. Its Montessori curriculum is specially designed for children from 18 months to 6 years old. A special feature of the taska is our Toddlers Programme. The curriculum is aimed at providing a good head start to pre-schoolers. Another feature is that children of various nationalities and cultural backgrounds are enrolled in the taska. Children are taught moral values and social skills through learning how to be considerate, graceful and courteous in a nurturing and warm environment which fosters their social, moral and emotional development as well as their intellectual and physical development. In addition we provide a wide range of essential optional classes- Mandarin, computer and piano. We have also achieved 'Level One' of the Accreditation Process!!!'
