Eden offers flavor without losing any during the cooking process
The word "cooking" often is used interchangeably with "preparing food" -- but that's not necessarily accurate.
Much of the menu at Eden in Shadyside is "raw," or prepared without the sustained application of heat. In addition, most of it is vegan, which means that there's no meat or dairy involved, and gluten-free. Oh, and there's a strong emphasis on local produce, grown in Western Pennsylvania.
Yet, for all its self-imposed limitations, one thing Eden doesn't leave out is flavor. If you can get this much flavor out of mostly uncooked produce, you're doing something right.
"I suffer from lots of different allergies, and I've always been very health-conscious, which makes it hard for me to eat out," chef/co-owner Hilary Zozula says. "I know a lot of people who are struggling with that, who aren't sure if there are certain things in the food that they weren't told about. I just really wanted to have a place available where people could go and eat and not have to 'work it off' or feel weird about it. Just really honest, really pure food."
She grew up eating raw and vegan food in California, and has no formal training -- although there just aren't a lot of places where you can learn this style of cuisine. "Whenever you heat something above 115 degrees, it gradually loses its nutritional content," Zozula says. "Some things, like meat, you have to cook. But with fruits and vegetables, nuts and sprouts -- when cooked, they slowly lose the vitamins and minerals that they have. It's a little frustrating.
"It's completely different from cooking. It's about spices, mixing, dehydrating. It's definitely not your normal culinary experience."
Until recently, Eden was known as the Juice Box Cafe, which focused on sandwiches and freshly-squeezed juices. The juices remain.
Understated, unpretentious, under the stairs.
You have to walk down from street level to get to Eden, a cozy little semi-subterranean spot on Copeland Street in Shadyside -- one of the few places in Pittsburgh where you'll find storefronts stacked three-high atop one another, much more common in compact, densely populated East Coast cities like Boston.
The dining room is small, clean, uncluttered, with intriguingly odd local art on the walls. We sat at a table beneath an almost full-size, realistic portrait of a friendly bartender.
Service was fast and friendly, offering helpful explanations of unusual dishes without prompting. An unseen stereo played classic soul music at a comfortable volume.
It helps to set aside certain straight-up comparisons -- like whether "cashew cheese" tastes better or worse than real cheese -- and just accept that some things will taste different, and move on. In most cases at Eden, the new flavors are excellent, just a little unusual.
A good place to start is the three-course tasting meal ($15), which gives a small sample of each main dish and includes dessert. It's a nice way to sample the main items on the menu, without committing to any one thing, and they don't seem to mind if you split it between two people.
But if you're confident enough in your choices, the Beet Ravioli starter ($5) is a good way to begin. The "ravioli" are constructed from thin slices of candy cane beet -- named for its red-and-white-swirled coloration -- which is surprisingly mild and sweet. Inside, there's another surprise -- cashew cheese that's creamy and slightly sweet like a good ricotta. It's not grainy or mealy like some nut-based faux-cheeses. Lemon and basil round out the dish.
The Zucchini Pasta ($11) features noodles made from thin slices of zucchini, which can be a little tricky to work with -- but it was perfectly ripe, with none of the expected bitterness or sogginess. It's covered in a rich sun-dried tomato marinara and "nutty Parmesan cheese."
Some of the dishes appear to be named ironically, but this only tends to invite unfair comparisons with their cheesy and/or meaty counterparts. The Marinated Veg. Pizza ($12) in no way resembles pizza, for instance, but is delicious in its own right. Atop a crunchy dehydrated-vegetable crust, there's an artful arrangement of cashew cheese, paprika, sunflower seeds and sprouts. The Steak & Potatoes ($12.50) substitutes mushrooms for steak and cauliflower for potatoes, with a rich, salty, slightly overpowering miso gravy. Although it might have benefited from a lighter sauce, it's quite good -- as long as you're not expecting actual steak and potatoes.
Not everything at Eden is raw, and there are even a few options for carnivores.
The Mole ($12) is a hot dish, served with either tempeh or local free-range chicken. The mole itself is a dark, yet mild, tangy, soupy sauce, served with corn tortillas, fresh avocado and an orange slice on the side.
Desserts included a dairy-free Raspberry Lemon Cheese Cake ($6.50), which somehow approximated the taste and consistency (if not appearance) of cheesecake with cashews, walnuts, dates and vanilla sunflower seeds.Additional Information:

When you think of California, a few things spring to mind. One is the state's love affair with the automobile. Another is, of course, how in the past 25 years the state the state has abandoned the center-right politics that gave it governors like Ronald Regan and George Deukmejian for hard-left, tax-and-spend politics.
So it should come as no surprise that the penchant for the latter is harming the former. In a Highway 1 blog post this morning at latimes.com, Los Angeles Times staffer Jerry Hirsch noted how it's high taxes that has a larger impact on the sky-high cost of owning and driving an automobile in California, not the price of gasoline (emphasis mine):
Taxes, not gasoline prices, are the reason California is the state with the second-highest cost for operating a car, Bankrate.com contends.
Californians pay an average $1,809 in taxes and fees for their cars, the financial website said. That's almost double the national average of $1,058.
Overall, Californians pay an average of $3,966 annually to operate a vehicle. That compares with a national average of $3,201.
Drivers here pay an average of $980 for gasoline, slightly below the $1,028 average.
That may sound odd considering pump prices in California are among the highest in the nation, but Bankrate cites federal data that show residents here drive fewer miles than the national average. Californians drive about 8,600 miles per capita compared with the national average of 9,600, according to the Department of Transportation.
To recap, contrary to popular belief, Californians both pay less for gas on average and drive less on average than other Americans, yet thanks in no small part to high taxes and fees, they have the "second-highest cost for operating a car" in the entire United States.
Don't look for the liberal media to pick up on this little nugget, especially the next time they cherry-pick a gas station in southern California with high gas prices to lament "pain at the pump."

¡Qué Viva Nuevo México!
From the South Valley to Santa Fe, from Las Cruces to Los Lunas, New Mexico's Hispanics are fired up and ready to fight to secure victory for President Obama and other Democrats!
Last night, Organizing for America New Mexico launched Hispanics for Obama with house parties across the state and a national conference call with campaign leaders and entertainer (and outspoken supporter of the President) George Lopez.
Here are just a few memorable events from last night's launch:
- In Albuquerque, small business owner and veteran Dennis Serafin got a chance to ask Lopez about the President's initiatives to help put veterans back to work.
- In Las Cruces, college students made calls on behalf of the President, highlighting his work to boost access to economic opportunity, education and access to quality, affordable healthcare for Hispanics.
- In Santa Fe, supporters gathered at the home of Delia Trevino de Zisman and plan next steps for engaging friends and neighbors in the work to re-elect the President and protect access to opportunity for Hispanics in New Mexico.
We're just getting started! Over the next month, we'll register new voters, have personal conversations with thousands of members of the Hispanic community statewide and more.
Please get involved: Find an opportunity to help near you and join Hispanics for Obama online.

Beazley 'cared nothing' for depressed MP
Page Tools
THE sister of Victorian MP Greg Wilton has backed up Mark Latham's claims that senior Labor figures abandoned him in the lead-up to his suicide five years ago.
Mr Latham has alleged Opposition Leader Kim Beazley and Labor's deputy Senate leader Stephen Conroy failed to support Mr Wilton, who was found dead in 2000.
Leeanda Wilton said that besides Mr Latham, there were "precious few others" in the Labor party who cared about her brother. "Really it was the upper level of the party that failed Greg completely," she told ABC radio yesterday.
Ms Wilton said her brother was devastated Mr Beazley made no attempt to contact him when he was experiencing personal problems and marriage break-down.
A month before he committed suicide, Mr Wilton had been found with his children in a distressed state in a park near Geelong.
At the time of his suicide he had recently been released from hospital and was living with his sister.
"He said it to me so many times. You know, "Gee, you would have thought Beazley would have called me by now," Ms Wilton said.
The "one thread" her brother had been hanging onto was retaining his seat of Isaacs.
The final straw was a newspaper article that appeared on the day he took his life, she said. The story focused on people likely to replace him if he resigned.
"The last words that Greg said were about his so-called 'mates' in the ALP desperately trying to take his job off him," she said. "So we know that that was the factor that tipped him over the edge."
Ms Wilton said Mr Beazley "cared nothing for Greg. He showed that by refusing to make contact with him".
Mr Beazley and Senator Conroy have rejected the allegations.

Wests Tigers forward Liam Fulton is set to become a test case for the new NRL concussion laws after being forced to consider his future following a series of head knocks in matches this season.
Fulton has failed to finish four of the six matches he has played for the Tigers and been stood down for at least a week after each concussion. Club officials and medical staff have decided he should not play again until at least the round 16 match against Canberra at Campbelltown on June 28. By then, the 29-year-old backrower, who was again concussed in last Sunday's win over Newcastle, will have the results of more extensive testing he is scheduled to undergo in Melbourne next week and is expected to be in a position to decide whether he can continue playing or should retire.
Fulton's concerns have been heightened by the fact that the contact made by Knights prop David Fa'alogo was considered minimal, suggesting each concussion may be occuring easier than the one before. Under the terms of the latest collective bargaining agreement negotiated by the Rugby League Players Association, Fulton is guaranteed to be paid for the remainder of his contract, which expires in 2016, and Wests officials are talking to the NRL about possible career options for him should he be forced to hang up his boots.
Fulton would be the first player to retire due to concussion since the new policy was introduced this season and it is widely accepted that the extent of his problems are unlikely to have been detected previously as he has not been knocked out or appeared heavily concussed on any of the four occasions. However, with trainers now required to send players they see exhibit any symptom of concussion to the club doctor for a sideline assessment, Fulton has been forced out of all four matches and not allowed to resume playing again until he passed a cognitive test at training.
NRL head of football Todd Greenberg said while the main focus was for Fulton's health, there was no doubt the new rules ensured players were being promptly assessed and treated where they may not have been in the past.
"Overall, the response to the new concussion rules has been very encouraging," Greenberg said. "Players are being taken from the field and assessed when, in the past, they may have continued playing. It is particularly pleasing to see clubs stand down players when they have not recovered fully because there would be a natural inclination to try to get them on the field given the competition is so close. But the clubs are recognising their responsibilities to their players and it is making the game safer."
Tigers chief executive Grant Mayer said that now the decision had been made for Fulton to stand down from playing, there was no rush for him to decide his future until he had undergone more testing in Melbourne. "We are taking it exceptionally seriously," Mayer said. "We have had a number of discussions with Liam and his management but we want to make sure he has all of the medical advice that is possible and we are also engaged with the NRL going forward to make sure there is a pathway for him if it comes to that," Mayer said. "I am sure that after State of Origin and our bye [next weekend] we will sit down and make some pretty clear decisions but our number one priority is his health and taking care of the man first and foremost."
While Fulton is guaranteed the remaining two years of his contract, it is believed he had hoped to return to England to finish his career in Super League but that may not be possible. However, he is aware of the concerns held by his family and club, including teammates and coach Mick Potter. "He is feeling fine, he doesn't think he has any symptoms but everyone is concerned for him as we should be and we want him to be right for footy," Potter said on Thursday. "Because it is in its infancy as to how things are proceeding with head knocks, no one really knows, because there hasn't been any evidence in the past for people to say this is what we need to do. We will take a very conservative way of looking at things and we have to be advised by the people that know better than us."

Paris (ESA) Sep 20, 2013
This new image from Hubble is one of the best ever views of the massive galaxy cluster Abell 1689, and shows the phenomenon of gravitational lensing with unprecedented clarity. This cluster acts like a cosmic lens, magnifying the light from objects lying behind it and making it possible for astronomers to explore incredibly distant regions of space. As well as being packed with galaxies, Abell 1689 has been found to host a huge population of globular clusters.
Hubble previously observed this cluster back in 2002. However, this new image combines visible and infrared data from Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) to reveal this patch of sky in greater detail than ever before, with a combined total exposure time of over 34 hours.
These new, deeper, observations were taken in order to explore the globular clusters within Abell 1689 [1]. This new study has shown that Abell 1689 hosts the largest population of globular clusters ever found. While our galaxy, the Milky Way, is only home to around 150 of these old clumps of stars, Hubble has spied some 10 000 globular clusters within Abell 1689. From this, the astronomers estimate that this galaxy cluster could possibly contain over 160 000 globulars overall - an unprecedented number.
This is not the first time that this trusty magnifying glass has helped astronomer detectives try to solve clues about the Universe. In 2010, astronomers were able to investigate the elusive phenomena of dark matter and dark energy by mapping the composition of Abell 1689 (opo1037a, heic1014). Its powers as a zoom lens also enabled Hubble to identify a galaxy dubbed A1689-zD1 in 2008, one of the youngest and brightest galaxies ever seen at the time (heic0805).
This image is peppered with glowing golden clumps, bright stars, and distant, ethereal spiral galaxies. Material from some of these galaxies is being stripped away, giving the impression that the galaxy is dripping into the surrounding space. Also visible are a number of electric blue streaks, circling and arcing around the fuzzy galaxies in the centre [2].
These streaks are the tell-tale signs of a cosmic phenomenon known as gravitational lensing. Abell 1689 is so massive that it actually bends and warps the space around it, affecting how light from objects behind the cluster travels through space. These streaks are actually the distorted forms of galaxies that lie behind Abell 1689.
Other galaxy clusters like Abell 1689 will be observed by Hubble during the upcoming Frontier Fields programme, which will exploit the magnifying powers of massive gravitational lenses to see even further into the distant Universe.
[2] These streaks appear to be blue because the galaxies that form them are furiously forming very hot new stars. The emission from these hot young stars causes the blue hue.

Climate change is a serious problem. It will have worldwide impact, but is expected to be worst for the poorest and most vulnerable members of society. Below, we discuss three key approaches to reduce the harms of climate change: mitigation, geoengineering, and adaptation. However, it is difficult to reliably estimate their cost-effectiveness. Doing so involves making predictions about the future and extrapolating trends subject to high uncertainty.
Over the summer of 2013 we conducted a series of investigations into some climate change charities that we believe to be promising. Our findings are detailed in the reports below:
What is Climate Change?
Climate change—specifically man-made (anthropogenic) global warming—is often cited as one of the greatest dangers facing mankind in the 21st Century. Climate change refers to the rise in average Earth temperature that has been occurring since the late 19th century and still continues. Since the early 20th century, Earth's mean surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two-thirds of the increase occurring since 1980. Warming of the climate system is primarily caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.
The Risks of Climate Change
Climate change is a large risk because of the potential problems it could create in the future. The World Health Organization states that increased climate change would create more exposure to thermal extremes and weather disasters, which could increase the incidence of malaria, diarrhoea, and malnutrition [1]. WHO estimates that an increase in 5,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide would lead to an expected loss of one disability-adjusted life year (DALY).
However, this method of assessing cost-effectiveness also does not capture all the potential negative side-effects of climate change, neglecting reduced economic productivity, damage to culture, forced migration, and biodiversity loss, among others.
The Economic Cost
The economic costs of climate change mitigation have been estimated, for example, in the Stern Review, which was conducted for the UK treasury. The report estimated that climate change could reduce global GDP by 5%, and up to 20% if a wider range of impacts was considered and if climate change was worse than expected. On the other hand, the cost of mitigating climate change was estimated to be only about 1% of global GDP annually. But uncertainty in how these economic benefits transfer to the least well off in society makes it difficult to apply these benefits to our analysis.
What Strategies Are There to Fight Climate Change?
The strategies to respond to climate change are broken into three categories: mitigation, geoengineering, and adaptation.
Mitigation strategies aim to reduce the total amount of carbon dioxide. This usually takes the form of achieving international agreements to set certain carbon thresholds or transition to more clean energy. The most prominent form of these schemes is "cap and trade", where all nations agree to a certain set limit to how much carbon dioxide they will produce (the cap), but then agree that they can exceed the limit if they give money to countries that come under the limit (the trade), essentially purchasing the excess carbon savings of greener nations.
But mitigation strategies can include more than "cap and trade" and often include a variety of research initiatives. One promising avenue within climate change mitigation that may be more cost-effective is trying to either reduce the potent greenhosue gas HFC-23 or improve the efficacy of aluminum production. However, we currently don't know of any organizations working on these two problems, and even if we did, it's unlikely that such work would be as cost-effective as AMF.
See more in our section on Mitigation.
Geoengineering involves large-scale attempts to purposely alter the climate with technology in order to reduce temperatures or otherwise offset global warming. For example, one proposal might be to spray a large quantity of seawater into the atmosphere in order to increase the reflectivity of clouds, thus reflecting more sunlight and reducing temperatures. Another proposal might involve finding some way to remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere.
See more in our section on geoengineering…
A third way to respond to climate change might be to change our infrastructures, institutions, and behaviors in order to better respond to, handle, and endure a changing climate.
See more in our section on adaptation.
Can We Assess the Cost-Effectiveness of Climate Change?
Generally, making a cost-effectiveness estimate of climate change involves attempting to predict the future in a way that may not be reasonable and is prone to high uncertainty and error. For a few examples:
- estimating the success of political coordination and international action is very difficult because we don't know how countries end up influenced to cut back on CO2.
- estimating success at deforestation tends to ignore market pressures, such as a reduced supply of logging increasing the price for wood, and that in turn leading to a higher demand for logging.
- There are a large variety of non-profits working on climate change. A few of them even intentionally coordinate, share funds, and collaborate together, thus making it difficult to tell who was more impactful. And even among organizations that don't collaborate, merely working on the same goal means it will be difficult to disentangle what each organization has done.
See more in our blog post "Less Burn For Your Buck: Which Climate Charities Are Most Effective in Reducing Emissions? (Part 1)".
How Cost-Effective Might Climate Change Be?
While assessing the cost-effectiveness of climate change is difficult, there still is some initial analysis which suggests that while climate change is important to focus on, it might not be as important as focusing on what we currently recommend, like fighting malaria and deworming.
Copenhagen Consensus's Estimate
The Copenhagen Consensus 2012 panel, a panel of five expert economists that included four Nobel prize winners, ranked research and development efforts on green energy and geoengineering among the top 20 most cost-effective interventions globally, but ranked them below the interventions that our top recommended charities carry out. Our own initial estimates agree, suggesting that the most cost-effective climate change interventions are still several times less effective than the most cost-effective health interventions.
These estimates are highly uncertain, however, and we do not rule out the possibility that climate change interventions may actually be more effective than our current recommended charities. The uncertainty in our estimates results from a lack of clarity in our understanding of the relationships between our actions, climate, and global health, as well as vagueness about the future actions that humanity will take to avert the negative consequences of climate change.
World Health Organization's Estimate
Given that we estimate Against Malaria Foundation saves a DALY for each $30-$50 donated and WHO estimates an increase in 5,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide would result in the loss of one DALY, an organization would need to be able to reduce carbon dioxide at a cheaper rate than $0.02 per tonne in order to be more cost-effective than AMF.
Organizations We've Investigated
However, we haven't been able to identify any organizations that reduce carbon dioxide at a rate cheaper than $0.02 per tonne. Right now, we think the cheapest opportunity is Cool Earth, which we have made a highly uncertain guess might reduce carbon dioxide emissions for $0.81 each, which is about 40x more expensive than it would need to be in order to be better than AMF.
Though we still must be careful in saying this. Independent experts have suggested that this estimate has an uncertainty so large that it could easily be 10 or more times smaller or larger than the numbers presented above. However, we haven't been able to identify any organizations that reduce carbon dioxide at a rate anywhere near this value.

2013 Mazda6 Diesel Previewed by Takeri Concept: NY Auto Show Preview
Among the many announcements piling up before next week's New York Auto Show, Mazda dropped a subtle bomb.
Debuting at the Mazda booth, we will see the Takeri concept (pictured above) in for the first time on US soil. While the sedan concept itself is nothing new (first unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show), the drivetrain information is hugely important. Aside from being the third concept car to feature Kodo (Soul of Motion) design style, it will be the second car to fully embrace SkyActiv technology.
What's more, that will include the diesel SkyActiv-D engine we drove in a prototype Mazda6 before the 2012 Mazda3 we tested recently.
While there isn't much detail in the release about the Takeri, the fact that Mazda is announcing a diesel sedan hints strongly that there will be a SkyActiv-D Mazda6 coming soon.

Achingly gorgeous and hauntingly stark, Mark Hollis' self-titled debut picks up where he left off with Talk Talk's Laughing Stock seven years earlier, re-emerging at the nexus point where jazz, ambient, and folk music collide. It's quite possibly the most quiet and intimate record ever made, each song cut to the bone for maximum emotional impact and every note carrying enormous meaning. Hollis paints his music in fine, exquisite strokes, with an uncanny mastery of atmosphere that's frequently devastating. And if anything, his singularly resonant voice has grown even more plaintive with the passage of time, which – combined with the understated artistry and minimalist beauty of tracks like "The Colour of Spring" and "Watershed" – makes Mark Hollis a truly unique and indelible listening experience. His obvious understanding of the power of silence aside, one prays he doesn't again wait for the seven-year itch to strike before returning.
An early-'80s trio, Fredi Grace & Rhinestone never relinquished material of any great consequence, but their members showed considerable musicianship on this debut effort. Grace is particularly engaging on the single "Help (Save This Frantic Heart of Mine)" and the driving "Go, Get on Your Mark," while Keith "Keecho" Rawls plays Fender Rhodes, piano, and synthesizer bass. Ros Sweeper adds fine harmonies throughout the set. Notably, Peabo Bryson wrote, produced, and drummed on the quiet storm entry "Tell Me What's on Your Mind." It's an emotive number more soulful than many of Bryson's own commercially successful recordings.
Nominated for both a Grammy and an Academy Award, the soundtrack combines lush, reflective incidental music with mid-20th-century big-band compositions, and Isham skillfully integrates these themes as they relate to the contrasting lifestyles of the film's central characters.

The pull-out by the South West Airports Consortium (SWAC) follows the Office of Fair Trading's referral of the planned sale to the Competition Commission.
Critics of the plan said the move was anti-competitive because SWAC ran Bristol Airport.
SWAC said it was disappointed at the referral. Devon County Council said it understood SWAC's decision.
Support role
The council decided last year to sell most of its shares in the airport because it said it could not afford the investment needed to develop it.
It announced earlier this year it was selling its 75% stake and received a bid from Macquarie, a partner in SWAC.
But there were concerns that such a sale was anti-competitive because the company would have interests in both Exeter and Bristol airports. Critics added that it might have meant that Exeter would have been reduced to a support role to Bristol.
The Competition Commission's investigation was expected to last up to six months.
SWAC said the referral to the commission was the reason for the withdrawal of its bid.
Investment needs
A spokeswoman for SWAC said: "We were very disappointed with the referral.
"Basically the process would have taken quite some time and expend a lot of resources with no certainty of a positive outcome for us."
Devon County Council said it would take appropriate steps to ensure that its investment aims for the airport were achieved and consider what further action should be taken in the light of the withdrawal by SWAC.
Council Leader Brian Greenslade said: "The county council will continue to give it the support it deserves while the future longer term investment needs are resolved."
Exeter International Airport saw the biggest rise in number of aircraft handled by a regional airport in 2004, with passenger numbers up 45%.

Some Are Saying There's a Ghostly Face in the Mangled Steel From the World Trade Center. Do You See It?
The steel installation, which will be featured at the National September 11 Memorial and Museum opening to the public in the spring of 2014, has been dubbed the "angel of 9/11″ by those who can see the face, according to WNBC-TV.
The exhibit, more formally called "Impact Steel," is thought to contain metal from between the World Trade Center's 93rd and 99th floor. Not everyone can see the purported face though. WNBC reported a source at the museum said lighting and viewing angle factor into the face's visibility.

Evil Behind You
Four people awaken in a locked room to discover that two of them have had some kind of mysterious operation. As the quartet struggles to find a way out of the prison, they begin to feel a dark presence in the room and realize that whatever happened during surgery is rapidly driving the two "patients" mad. Whoever planned this horrific medical experiment has also tapped into a powerful evil, and it's not clear whether it can be controlled.

Ngala's eco-friendly tented camp
Ngala Private Game Reserve, famous for being 1 of the 1st privately owned properties to be incorporated into Kruger National Park, has a new and improved tented camp.
The refurbished tents are eco-friendly with double insulated canvas, which means less heating and cooling is needed. The air conditioners are energy efficient, as are the LED lights.
The camp is set in a place of tall trees and thick bush – so each tent and its 'sala' are completely private (the sala is a place where you can reflect in peace, retreat, read, meditate or be quiet with nature).
But there's more feel-good stuff here. Ngala is part of the Kruger now, but as a private game reserve within it, it pays South African National Parks an annual lease fee. This is used to fund conservation initiatives in smaller parks around the country.
Also, Ngala has exclusive traversing rights, which means visitors have a massive stretch of wilderness to themselves.
The camp is set in a place of tall trees and thick bush – so each tent and its 'sala' are completely private.
Apart from the tented camp, the original safari lodge remains extremely popular.
Ngala is owned and run by &Beyond, 1 of the top safari operators in Africa and India.

You know, we're very fortunate to be living in the San Joaquin Valley. We're surrounded by some of the best farmland in the world and have a climate that allows an extended growing season. Long after other areas of the country have been forced to move on, our farmers are able to continue planting and growing warmer weather crops.
Case in point: okra.
Okra requires a minimum average temperature of 65 degrees Fahrenheit in order to grow from seed. As temperatures drop and Fall settles in, the window for planting okra closes. But our farmers still have months of opportunity, and since the plant can sprout and begin to flower in as little as 7 days, that means there's still a lot of okra left for us here.
At the Vineyard Farmer's Market, at the west end, next to IL Giardino Organico is the Thao Farms produce stand. I spoke to one of the gentlemen working there who told me that they will likely have okra until the rains start, probably late November or into December. So get out there and reap the advantages of living here. But get there early – the smallest, most tender okra pods are the best to eat, and they disappear quickly.
Here are some recipes featuring okra from around the web:
- Spicy Pickled Okra from Homesick Texan
- Fried Okra from The Bitten Word
- Okra and Tomatoes from Simply Recipes
Also, don't forget to celebrate summer at the last evening of the Old Town Clovis Farmer's Market this Friday, September 30 from 5:30pm – 9pm. It's the Pistachio Party, and you won't want to miss it! Admission is free, and there will be cooking demonstrations and free pistachio samples.

Wherever it began, the small-town contemporary romance series is hot hot hot, the sub-genre exploding in popularity. Authors are being asked by their editors to make the switch from their current genre to these community-based books. Others are retuning for pure love of the setting and the themes inherent to small-town living. Stephanie Bond has blogged about the process of developing such a series. Borders romance buyer Sue Grimshaw has polled readers on why they love these books so much.

[Note: The Expert Witness series is an occasional Friday feature that allows guest bloggers to write about a topic in which they have a particular interest or expertise. This week's article "Six Principles for a Solid Investing Strategy" is by Austin Pryor from Sound Mind Investing]
A well-defined investing strategy is one of the cornerstones of a successful financial life. While investing techniques vary widely, all good strategies are built on the same foundation. For example, SMI offers two main investing strategies for our readers, Just-the-Basics and Upgrading. Their approaches are very different, but both are built upon six core principles which you should keep in mind as you plan for your own strategy.
Principle #1: Success in investing comes not in hoping for the best, but in knowing how you will handle the worst. Always remember: nobody really knows what's going to happen next. Some things can be predicted; most things can't. Since nobody really knows what is going to happen, your plan must allow for the fact that the investment markets will experience some unexpected downturns every now and then. That's where diversification comes in. The idea is to pick investments that "march to different drummers." This means your strategy involves owning a mix of investments that are affected by different economic events.
Surprisingly, it is possible to assemble some lower-risk investment combinations that give pretty much the same returns over time as higher-risk ones. Both of SMI's core strategies offer you portfolios that combine stocks and bonds in various combinations in order to reduce volatility and risk while still achieving attractive long-term returns.

The Truth About The Border
Facts Emerging -- And Controversy
DHS and group differ over tally of how much border fence has been built
On Sept. 14, the Herald / Review published an article in which Angela de Rocha, public affairs officer for Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection, stated Secure Border Initiative had constructed more than half of the 670 miles of fencing required by the Secure Fence Act of 2006.
She said "as of August 29, 2008, SBI had completed 190 miles of pedestrian fence and 154.3 miles of vehicle fence, for a total of 344.3 miles of fence out of 670."
Glenn Spencer, president of American Border Patrol, a nonprofit organization, said those amounts were wrong, based on information his group has compiled during aerial surveys along the border.
As of July 29, the Secure Border Initiative had built only 108 miles of pedestrian fence. Also, there were about 161 miles of vehicle barriers, for a total of about 269 miles, according to American Border Patrol.

Translating the sciences of nutrition and food
A dietetics education opens doors for any student who is interested in nutrition and food science and wants a career that involves helping people improve their health. Our graduates enjoy challenging and satisfying jobs in hospitals and nursing homes, schools, public health agencies, the food industry, research labs and clinics.
Is Dietetics A Good Fit For You?
If you enjoy science, are interested in food and like working with people, you'll find a home in the field of dietetics.
Science is key. Dietetics is a challenging biological field. In addition to nutritional sciences and food science, you will study bacteriology, physiology, chemistry and biochemistry.
An interest in food is important. Wherever your career takes you, you'll be helping people select and obtain food to nourish their bodies to improve and maintain their health.
Working with people is a big part of the job. Dietitians usually work in a teaching or supervisory role. You may teach individuals or groups how to improve their eating behavior. You may hire and train employees in food production as a food and nutrition manager.
Credentials Count
A Registered Dietitian (R.D.) is the most widely recognized nutrition professional. Although it is possible to specialize in nutrition without being an R.D., it is very difficult to find nutrition-related jobs without this credential. R.D.status signifies professional competence.
There are three steps to earning credentials:
- Earn a bachelor's degree from an approved/accredited dietetic program
- Complete a program of planned clinical and applied experiences
- Pass the Registration Examination for Dietitians
Where Your Career Might Lead
You'll find dietitians in pretty much any field connected to food and nutrition:
- Health-care
Dietitians are part of the health care team in hospitals, HMOs and other health-care facilities. They educate patients about nutrition and administer medical nutrition therapy. They also manage food and nutrition operations, overseeing everything from food purchasing and preparation to personnel.
- Community and public health agencies need trained dietitians to teach, monitor and advise the public. It's a great opportunity to help people improve their quality of life through healthy eating habits.
- Sports nutrition and wellness programs
- Dietitians teach clients about the connection between food, fitness and health.
- Food and nutrition-related firms
- Food firms need people with dietetics expertise for communications, consumer affairs, public relations, marketing and product development.
- Private practice
Some dietitians work under contract with health care or food companies. Others advise food service or restaurant managers, food vendors and distributors, athletes, nursing home residents, and many other types of clients.
- Research laboratories need problem solvers
- Food and pharmaceutical firms, universities and hospitals, require inquisitive people to answer critical nutrition questions and find alternative foods or nutrition options.
- Medical centers need people who can teach the sophisticated science of foods and nutrition to physicians, nurses, and dietetics students.
How the Dietetics Degree Program Works
The UW-Madison's Didactic Program in Dietetics focuses on coursework. After students have earned their B.S. degree in Dietetics, they go on to obtain the clinical experience they need to qualify to take the Registration Examination for Dietitians. Admission to supervised practice programs is competitive as spaces are limited. Selection is based on GPA, work experience and references.
Your first stop as a new dietetics student is the office of your faculty advisor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences—home department for the dietetics program. Your advisor will help you plan your course schedule.
Over a four-year span you will take required background courses in such areas as chemistry, physiology, bacteriology, communication and psychology. These supplement professional courses in the dietetics program offered through the food science and nutritional science departments. During your senior year, you will apply for a dietetic internship to obtain the required clinical experience after graduation. These post-baccalaureate programs run for six to twelve months (longer for part-time and graduate programs).
The UW-Madison's Didactic Program in Dietetics is currently granted approval status by the Commission of Accreditation for Dietetics Education (CADE) of the American Dietetic Association, 216 W. Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60606-6995. Telephone:(312)899-4876.
Financial Assistance
The College of Agricultural and Life Sciences offers many scholarships that are granted based on academic performance, need or extracurricular activities. For more information on scholarships, loans and work-study programs contact the UW-Madison Office of Financial Services. See the department website for information on specific scholarships available for dietetics students.

Earth 2 #1
Having just finished reading the Apokalips invasion of Darkseid's Parademons in Justice League Vol.1, I unwittingly stumbled into this book as a perfect follow up! What would have happened if it all didn't work out? A parallel Earth has failed to defeat the invaders and have struggled to survive for the past five years. We see the last moments of Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman and watch as Supergirl and Robin (Soon to be Huntress) escape this world to their own book World's Finest. Jay Garrick also becomes the Flash in a very fresh origin that is easily the coolest part of this first issue. Writer James Robinson still has some tricks up his sleeve and seems to be putting more into this first issue of E2 that Johns did into the entire first run of Justice League, winding up the second wave of DC titles and breathing new life into the JSA leaving us with only one question; why not just call it JSA?

Stop, I'm Feeling Cyclical
One thing that became clear during last week's Bach-inspired program of passacaglias, chaconnes and variations is that almost all cogent musical structures have some kind of repetition or cycle. But of what? This week on Hammered! we decode the musical cycles behind some of the century's most fascinating architectural blueprints.
Tune in weekdays at 10 am for music that to varying degrees of obviousness uses musical cycles to form larger structural arches. We'll cover everything from harmonic progressions to melodic fragments, chord sequences to rhythmic repetitions, even cycles born from the musical structure itself, all manifest in some of the century's most innovative and invigorating keyboard music.
Check out Monday for instance. Fitting that we begin with a piece explicitly called a cycle (Nico Muhly's A Hudson Cycle) before moving onto the middle movement of John Adams' meticulously constructed Phrygian Gates (subtitled "A System Of Weights And Measures") and Jacob Cooper's Clifton Gates, which, the composer explains, is loosely based on some of the rhythmic patterns used in Adams' work.
From there we move to Johann Sebastian Bach, one of history's great musical architects, and survey five canons from the Goldberg Variations, a remarkable work that on nearly every conceivable level of magnitude contains a type of repeating, cycling motive. The canons, for instance, occur every third variation, progress systematically through each interval level, are themselves variations on a cycling ground bass, etc., ad infinitum. Speaking of infinite, music of Olivier Messiaen (movements from the Vingt Regard) and his student Gerard Grisey (selections from Vortex Temporum) close Monday's show. Here, in striking moments of similarity, huge blocks of material are cycled and amplified to form an ever-expanding musical form.
It's going to be a unique and unpredictable week packed with extraordinary music. Repertoire updates forthcoming!

I don't watch Dr. Phil very often, but when I do there is usually something I can implement into my life that is valuable. I consider myself pretty active in the lives of my children, but cannot answer every question on the list for each of them. Sure, there are answers I would hope that they would give, but I cannot say with absolute certainty that they would be their answers. I thought this would be a good personal challenge for anyone with children. See if you can find out their answers without asking them the direct question. Ask some open ended questions and do a lot of listening. Don't put a time frame on it. Sure, it's a check list, but if you rush it you will never get the real answers. Solid relationships take a lot of time and effort.
Connect the Parent Questionnaire, by Dr. Phil

|Wrong ball destroyed to rid Cubs of demons
|Tyler Clifton | News-Telegram Sports Writer
Feb. 27, 2004 -- The Boston Red Sox might have the "Curse of the Bambino" to deal with, but the Chicago Cubs will no longer need to worry about the dreaded foul ball that many blame for costing them a chance at a World Series title last October.
The ball that was batted away from left fielder Moises Alou by local Steve Bartman was properly disposed of Thursday night in what the club hopes will end its numerous years of futility and frustration. It's disheartening to see someone spend over $100,000 for a baseball, and there has to be just as many ways for the money to be better spent.
That said, it's entertaining to witness the blatant lack of sportsmanship by the diehard Cub fans. Bartman had every right to reach for a foul ball that was coming toward his head, and those who question his motives would've done the same thing. Chicago was only five outs away from its first World Series since 1945, but the foul ball incident played only a small part.
It was no ones fault but the Cubs themselves for their collapse. People fail to mention shortstop Alex Gonzalez's error on a routine grounder that allowed the Florida Marlins to score eight runs in the inning. If there truly is a curse, than they're blowing up the wrong ball.
Chicago has the talent on paper to not only get to the World Series this year but to win it as well, and it's comforting to know there will be no excuses if they fall short of the mark.
Boston on the other hand will find anyone to blame if they once again don't make it to the Fall Classic, if not Babe Ruth, then George Steinbrenner. It will be important for the Red Sox to go out and prove their worth on the field and not have players such as Kevin Millar spouting off at the mouth about how good they are.
It's nothing short of comical to see how sluggers such as Sammy Sosa, Gary Sheffield and Barry Bonds react when queried about the latest steroid allegations.
Sosa blew his fuse last season when a reporter handed him a cup and suggested he take a urine sample. Sheffield answered reporter's questions recently with those of his own, shying away from the subject after his name was mistakenly released to the press.
Bonds, the biggest target of the whole thing due to the records he threatens to surpass, denied ever using steroids and said he would submit a sample if needed.
Colorado reliever Turk Wendell had the guts to call Bonds' bluff, sending the future Hall of Famer into an outrage, telling Wendell to accuse him to his face and not through the media. Bonds seems to be crediting the arrest of his personal trainer Greg Anderson as a mere coincidence. The "innocent until proven guilty" factor still holds true in this case, but until those such as Bonds prove to their doubters they aren't using the drug, then they'll continue to be targets.
Former slugger Jose Canseco and National League Most Valuable Player Ken Caminiti have admitted to using steroids, and it's been proven that five to seven percent of players from the 2003 season used the drug. It should magnify the performances of pitchers who now know for a fact they haven't been competing on a level playing field.
This month is supposed to be a relatively quiet one with March Madness and Major League Baseball right around the corner, but the February frenzy continues.
A sixth grader in West Virginia was suspended for having a copy of a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue. Sending the kid home to sit in his room and play video games, listen to CDs and feast on potato chips and twinkies for a few days will give him a lesson according to school officials.
The punishment certainly didn't fit the crime in this particular case. The magazine should have been confiscated with the kid and his parents sitting in the school office having a conference with administrators. It makes one wonder whether the next young lady who is caught reading her Cosmopolitan or whatever girls read these days will get the same result.

"India happens to be a rich country inhabited by very poor people."
– Indian Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh
PUNE INDIA – India is overwhelming. Shocking. As soon as we venture outside of the hotel, we are stalked by beggars. We brush them off…we ignore them…but they stick like mud. They seem nice…not at all threatening – but they are annoying. You cannot walk along in peace. One little girl followed us around for blocks, tenaciously. A cute little thing; we would have adopted her on the spot if the opportunity had been offered.
We took a plane down to Pune on Friday morning. Pune is a town of about three million people, not far from Bombay. It is more open than Bombay, at least the part of it that we saw. But it is just as squalid. People live in shacks, tents, crumbling buildings…and in gaudy new apartment complexes. There are people everywhere…no matter where you look there are always dark figures moving around. What are they all doing, you wonder? How do they all stay alive?
But when you wander through the open-air food markets, you find a lot of very good-looking vegetables.
"The government is rather free-market," our host explained. "But not completely. It still controls the prices for many basic things, because there are so many desperately poor people who can't afford to pay market rates. This globalization has certainly benefited Indians who are educated. But it's not clear that the poor are better off. They now have to pay higher prices…and there's not much work for them."
Oddly, housing and office prices have soared, but there is little available supply.
"I'd like to buy more space, but there aren't any sellers," we were told. On the other hand, developers are said to be adding so much space that in some cities there is a 10 to 20 year over-supply. What is going on?
"I don't know, but it looks like speculators have forced up prices…even though there are not really that many people around who can afford to pay the prices. I'd be very careful before buying anything here now."
Our plane from Pune back to Bombay was cancelled, so we got one of the last seats on the train. We were in a train car that looked as though it should have been decommissioned about thirty years ago. The cushions were torn and worn. Many of the metal parts were broken, and often rigged up in an amateurish way. This was first class. There were two classes lower – including one with wooden seats that looked like a cargo cabin.
Our car was packed.
We got to our seats and found them already taken. But we gladly gave them up; the woman in the seat next to ours was clearly mad. She spoke in a witch-like voice in Marathi, the local language, to no one in particular. The couple sitting next to her seemed to be taking care of her and thanked us for letting them have the seats. Later, they offered us a piece of fruit.
People in India typically speak two or three languages. They speak the local language – there are 21 official local languages. Plus, to get along together, they all learn Hindi. And in addition, most people now encourage their children to learn English.
When we finally got to Bombay, three hours later, we were shocked again. There were thousands of people living in the station…cooking on the platforms, squatting as they ate their dinners, sleeping…not on benches, but on the hard concrete. Some of the sleepers looked dead. Thin as the rails themselves, they looked as though they had been there for weeks. Maybe they were dead; no one seemed to notice.
On Sunday, we passed Bowen's Memorial Methodist Church and went over to the Catholic cathedral. Bowen's was open…a very modest place…dark and dirty…from which we heard the sounds of Christmas carols. The Catholic Church, by contrast, was as gaudy as any we have seen. With a rich combination of Portuguese and Hindu colors, it was like an ad for a paint company. Mauve, purple, lavender, rose, lime, maroon – we saw colors we hadn't seen in years.
The mass was conducted in English. But as our ears were not yet attuned to the Indian accent, we missed most of the sermon, but at least we knew how the story turned out.
The definition of Hinduism given by Sathya Sai Baba, one of Hinduism's best known gurus, was "Help Ever, Hurt Never" a friend explained. Not so different from the Golden Rule, we realized.
"But Hindus have never been a proselytizing group," our friend continued. "That's why you don't find Hindus anywhere except India, except when Indians have emigrated. Instead, we don't mind anyone practicing his religion. We've always been tolerant of other religions. We have Christians here…and many Muslims. In fact, we now have two leading figures in our government – one of whom is Muslim, the other, Sonia Gandhi, is an Italian Catholic."
Saturday night, we took a cab up Marine Drive…along the waterfront…to a restaurant called the "Salt Water Grill." It was built out on the beach, with sand floor and umbrellas over each of the tables. It was the sort of restaurant you'd expect to find in Miami.
It must be a popular spot. By 10PM it was full – with a mixture of Indians and Westerners. And it wasn't cheap. The least expensive bottle of wine was $50.
India is a resource- rich, poor country with a lot of very rich people. On the way to the airport there is a Rolls Royce dealership, and luxury apartments are said to sell for $5 million. Meanwhile, it will cost only 50 cents to take a wild cab ride all the way across town.

Camarena spins six hitless innings
After a rough start to season, Yanks lefty picks up first win
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com | July 4, 2013 7:25 PM ET
Sometimes failure can be the biggest catalyst of success. Just ask New York Yankees pitching prospect Daniel Camarena.
Go back as recently as May 24 when Camarena was 0-3 with an 8.12 ERA. He had just given up six runs in a game for the sixth time in nine starts, and he had been sent to the bullpen to find his mojo. Then, everything clicked.
On Thursday, Camarena (1-3) allowed just a walk over six hitless innings to earn his first professional win in the Class A Charleston RiverDogs' rain-shortened 4-1 victory over the Augusta GreenJackets.
"It took two-and-a-half years, but I finally got one," Camarena said of his first notch in the win column. "It was awesome. I was mixing in a lot of good pitches and throwing them for strikes. I think I was able to keep them off balance and the defense was there to back me up when I wanted to attack hitters.
"There wasn't really one dominant pitch. Some guys I threw sliders, others change-ups and other guys fastballs."
The 20-year-old faced the minimum the first two times through the order, erasing Charles Jones' one-out walk in the third inning by picking him off.first base during an attempted steal.
Tyler Webb replaced Camarena in the seventh inning, but he promptly lost the no-hit bid when Jesus Galindo hit a bloop single to lead off the frame.
Selected by the Yankees in the 20th round of the 2011 Draft, Camarena struggled through the first two months of the year, posting a 9.00 ERA in four games in April and a 6.46 mark in six appearances in May.
Over 40 2/3 innings across those first two months, he allowed 34 earned runs and another eight unearned.
"There were a lot of mental struggles," said Camarena, who only recently incorporated a slider into what had always been a three-pitch mix.. "It was the first time I had struggled and I didn't know how to deal with it. At first, I didn't know what was going on. I thought it was just one bad game and that I would bounce back, but then it kept piling on.
"I was doing way too much thinking. When I was struggling, I wasn't slacking or working any less, it was just a mental thing. I just had to simplify things, throw strikes and pitch down in the zone."
After yielding 12 earned runs in consecutive starts against Greenville, the RiverDogs moved Camarena to the bullpen temporarily. The move appears to have done the trick.
In his past seven outings -- four starts and three relief appearances -- the California native has been dominant. His 0.33 ERA since that move to the 'pen is the lowest among all pitchers -- in the Majors as well as any level in the Minors -- who have made at least four starts or seven appearances.
Camarena has allowed one run over 27 innings, striking out 16 batters and issuing three walks. In his three most recent starts, he allowed just two hits over 15 scoreless frames.
"I'm a lot more confident now than I was two months ago," said Camarena, who struck out 15 batters over 17 2/3 innings across five games last year after returning from shoulder tendinitis. "I have a little more experience under my belt. I wasn't mad when they told me, I just took it as a new challenge and just willed myself to succeed by believing in myself.
"It won't be the last time I will struggle, but I know now how to deal with those struggles."
Charleston second baseman Angelo Gumbs was 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored and first baseman Reymond Nunez recorded two RBIs in the victory.
Augusta starter Joan Gregoria (4-2) allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six batter over 6 2/3 innings.

|2004N-0181 - Critical Path Initiative; Establishment of Docket

|Issue Areas/Comments
| As a member of the Drug Development Committee (DDC) of the AIDS Treatment Activist Coalition (ATAC), I am writing to express my support for the FDA's Critical Path Initiative.
ATAC is a national coalition of AIDS activists, many living with HIV/AIDS, working together to end the AIDS epidemic by advancing research on HIV/AIDS and broadening access to treatment.
The DDC meets routinely with pharmaceutical companies and researchers to discuss challenges in drug discovery and development for HIV and associated infections, including hepatitis C. Through our work, we have come to recognize a range of obstacles facing current efforts at HIV therapeutics and vaccines.
We particularly welcome the Critical Path Initiative?s attention to improving models and technology for enhancing the clinical relevance and predictive value of preclinical assays, especially those related to pharmacology and toxicology. These areas represent important concerns in the development path of novel therapeutics.
We also share the FDA's interest in promoting innovative approaches to drug delivery systems and manufacturing techniques. We have seen the value of concerted and coordinated investments in these areas in the HIV vaccine field, where the efforts of entities including the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, the Gates Foundation-sponsored Global Enterprise, and the NIH's Vaccine Research Center have paved the way for more efficient product development, testing, and validation.
In summary, we are excited by this initiative and look forward to collaborating with the FDA, industry, and academia on identifying priorities and opportunities for innovation in HIV research.

Ryan Johnson.. very nice to know that…Thanks
This guy is hot!! Ive seen him in lots of Aussie stuff. Can't wait to see him on the show!
Another fine Aussie export, go Ryan you sexy thing!
You hot thing! So very proud of you….
Every time I read about Michael Sardo being replaced, it makes me sick to my stomach. He created this show, he wrote the hell out of it and Jeff Wachtel stole it from him and gave it to a guy who couldn't write Sardo's grocery list.
Queensland university of technology is proud of you. We knew what an irresistible actor you are. Dianne
How wonderful!
