Homemade Indian ghee if you dare
Ghee, or Indian clarified and caramelized butter, is hard to relay in a recipe. There are many visual and aromatic cues to watch out for, and all are subject to interpretation. Learning how to make ghee in my family, like most other things, has always been show, not tell. When my parents were newlyweds, they went to India. My mother spent much of the time observing in the kitchen with my relatives. When I learned, I brought my camera along. Now, four years later, I'm attempting a written version for public consumption. So we're breaking new ground here. Why? Because ghee kicks butter's ass.
I'm documenting the process for you (at length, uh), in the hopes that some will be adventurous and go ahead and try it. I made this ghee three times, a true Goldilocks process, before getting it absolutely perfect. But all three are delicious. Ghee doesn't disappoint.
It's wicked easy once you understand how butter cooks. You're basically clarifying butter, then letting it cook longer until the milk solids caramelize, giving it the unique nutty flavor and sweet aroma only found in ghee.
Clarifying butter, like many other processes in cooking, was borne out of a need to preserve. The process separates the milk solids from the butter fats, resulting in a much longer shelf life. In India, refrigeration is generally not an option, and by taking their butter one step further, it has a shelf life at room temperature for up to 1 year. Indians, my relatives among them, claim if it's made by expert hands it will last 100 years.
Ghee vs. Butter
According to Ayurveda, ghee is very rejuvenating, and has many health-giving properties. Ghee is the most easily digestible of the cooking fats and oils. Contrary to popular Western belief, ghee is not simply something yummy to spread on toast or cook with potatoes. It is a staple in India, and can be used as a substitute for butter or oil in cooking when the dish is going to be served warm or hot. Ghee, like most oils, can be cooked at higher temperatures than butter without burning, but due to its lower melting point, it's not the best fat to bake a cake with.
Here are a couple example of recipes where I would use ghee in place of butter or oil: Stewed Apples, Kichidi, on toast, Stews, Omelettes, Dals, Vegetables, or desserts like bread pudding.
For more, check out these recipes. Also, check out our post on how to make butter to make a truly homemade ghee out of a delicious cream.
How to make ghee
2 pounds unsalted butter, easier if in blocks (or check out our post on how to make butter!)
Heavy-bottomed sauce pan
Unbleached fine cheese cloth
Metal funnel
Wooden spoon
Glass container with clasping lid that can withstand heat
Purchasing unsalted butter in blocks instead of sticks makes the unwrapping process much easier. Ghee, like butter, tastes differently depending on the source. So don't go out and buy cheap butter just because you're making it in bulk. Remember, the ghee will last for a year. Even if you cook it a little too long or not enough, as long as you didn't burn it, keep it. If it's overcooked, taste it once it sets. On the flip side, if the milk solids didn't caramelize, you made clarified butter. So congrats, just store it in the fridge and use it within 1-2 months.
When you stir the butter, you need to glide your spoon across the bottom of the pan, and scrape up any of the milk solids that have settled so they don't stick and burn. This is important from the point when the butter starts boiling on. Making ghee is a patient, observant, and peaceful process, so let it be just that.
To measure doneness, check the photo to the left. The first row in the color chart is the liquid once it's been strained into the container, and the second row is right before it's removed from the heat. You can see the color is retained. You're looking for the butter to go from yellow (on the left), to a slight orange (middle column). If it gets to the darker brown (right column), you've gone a little too far.
Note on time:
If you're using less butter, this process will go faster. It also depends on the diameter of your pan. A smaller pan will cook the butter more slowly, but require more attention. But if the pan is too big and the butter too thinly dispersed, the ghee can easily stick and burn. For two pounds, a 10″ sauce pan is just perfect. So you can adjust from there.
Step 1 – Unwrap the butter and setup shop
Unwrap the butter and cut into chunks (4 or 5 per stick, etc). Heat the butter on medium-low to low in the sauce pan. Set a timer for 45 minutes.
Fold your cheese cloth so there are four layers, and lay it in the strainer. Don't wait until the last minute to do this, as there won't be time! Place the bottle in the sink, and set the strainer propped in its mouth.
Step 2 – Melt the butter
Within the first 8-10 minutes, the butter will melt. Give it a stir with your spoon to see where it's at, and then let it sit.
Step 3 – Butter begins to froth and then boil
Within the next 5 minutes, the butter will begin to froth. Give it a stir, and continue stirring every minute from now on. Glide your spoon across the bottom at this point, and kick up the milk solids.
Around 15-18 minutes, the butter will start to boil, and continue for the next 7-10 minutes, first hard, then more gently. Stir consistently. After about 30 minutes, the boil will slow. The butter will start to smell like clarified butter, and you'll want to dunk a lobster in it.
Step 4 – Milk solids separate
At this point (30-35 minutes), the sea of foam will part, and the milk solids will begin to clump together. Watch the edges of the pan at this point. You will notice their change in color as the milk solids cook and finally caramelize. The aroma will be stronger still, but still like butter.
Step 5 – Milk solids begin to caramelize
The last 8-10 minutes, you need to watch the edges of the pan carefully, and observe the change in color. Continue to stir and scrape. The surface should be mostly clear. If you're unsure of where things are at, scoop up some solids from the bottom and check its color. If it's still white or light tan, you've got 5 more minutes to go. You are waiting for the butter to turn into a beautiful orange color, the milk solids to caramelize into a light-to-medium brown, and most noticeably, fizzy bubbles to form on the surface of the butter. The aroma will change slightly, smelling more sweet and caramel-y. Be ready with your strainer.
Step 6 – Those fizzy bubbles, strain!
Once bubbles begin to form on the surface, right around 45 minutes, pull up some solids from the bottom and check the edges. They should be medium brown. Take the butter off the heat immediately and strain, as it will continue to cook until you get it out of the pan. When straining, you can dump all of the brown solids on top of your cheese cloth, but make sure none gets into the ghee. You will have a tiny film on the bottom, but ah, c'est la vie. It'll still keep for a year.
Step 7 – Patience, it needs to set
Keep the lid open until it completely cools (left, cooled; right, just strained and still hot). Setting can take up to 12 hours. Eat it, love it, become converted like me. Ghee rules.
Now that you've made ghee, find out where to go from here.
Note on the finished product:
Once it is set, you should have a smooth, light golden color (properly cooked it's more gold than yellow from the caramelization) solid that is uniform throughout. It should stay solid at room temp (65-75F).
………Troubleshooting – What went wrong?………
My ghee smells burnt and is dark amber in color. This means you cooked the ghee a little too long and in the process burned the milk solids, which gives the ghee a burnt taste. This is the only case, really, where you'd want to toss your ghee and start again. If you do, make sure to cook the ghee on a low temperature and really watch for a color change. Turn on all the lights and look into the pot!
I can only find salted butter. You can still make delicious ghee with salted butter. And no, it won't be salty.
The butter will froth a bit more during the steps in the instructions where I would indicate it should bubble. Make your ghee in a slightly larger pot to prevent the froth from overflowing, and give it a stir when it does froth up to bring it down in volume. If you're worried about overflow, you can also just take it off the heat for a moment and stir and things will calm down. The resulting ghee will taste fabulous but have a slightly gritty texture. Also, those milk solids, don't eat 'em. That's where all the salt will go! Pour those puppies down the drain.
I can only find butter with emulsifiers and other ingredients in it. I would not suggest making ghee from anything other than real, pure butter. I would not suggest making it from spreadable butters, those with emulsifiers or added vitamins, minerals, you name it. Anything that gives it texture will turn gummy and gross in the pan; any added vitamins, etc, will give it an off flavor and probably be destroyed in the process anyways. You just want real, old-fashioned butter. If you can't find the stuff, here's a real simple way to make it from cream.
My ghee has separated, or has white spots or is not uniform in color. This is usually a cooling problem. You want to let your ghee sit at room temperature with the lid cocked (to prevent particles falling in) enough to allow the cooling to happen naturally. You don't want to stick hot ghee in the fridge, put it in front of an open window, or seal it prematurely. All these things aren't bad, necessarily, but they will affect the color and sometimes cause the liquid to separate from the solid.
But hell, my aunt, who taught me how to make ghee, sometimes makes hers where the liquid and solid are completely separate. And a good friend of ours sells the most delicious ghee and only recently has he been able to streamline the cooling process and prevent little white spots from forming. So don't fuss too much. It's all ghee and it's all good.

Istanbul (AFP) March 20, 2009
From South Asia and to the Middle East, from Australia to California, rivers and aquifers that cross boundaries have become potent sources of friction.
Farmers squabble with city dwellers over irrigation rights while countries in river basins complain about pollution or water theft from upstream, as their neighbours build dams to siphon off flow from the watershed.
"Conflicts about water can occur at all scales," the UN warned ahead of the World Water Forum, which winds up in Istanbul on Sunday.
"Local-level conflicts are commonplace in irrigation systems, where farmers vie for limited resources," it said in a massive document, the third World Water Development Report.
"Conflicts also occur at the scale of large national river basins -- multistate Indian rivers such as the Cauvery and the Krishna -- or transnational river basins, such as the Jordan and the Nile."
"Water wars" for the time belong in the realm of conjecture.
In more than half a century, there have been only 37 cross-border disputes about water that have led to some form of violence, while some 200 treaties on water-sharing have been negotiated and signed.
Some of these initiatives have worked well.
They include the 1960 Indo-Pakistani treaty on sharing the water of the Indus, which has survived two wars between the two neighbours; the Mekong Committee, which has functioned since 1957 and swapped data throughout the Vietnam War; and the Nile Basin Initiative, launched in 1999 gathering all 10 riparian, or river-bank, states along the world's longest river.
But there are also treaties that remain a dead letter, especially in Africa, which has nearly a quarter of the world's cross-border river basins.
The risk of bloodshed over the stuff of life is a scenario taken seriously by many specialists.
Global warming may already be causing changes in rainfall and snowfall patterns, affecting river flow and groundwater recharge, and amplifying water shortages in countries that are already under stress, say scientists.
One of the feared trigger points is the Middle East, where Israel's policies of drawing water from the River Jordan and coastal aquifers are bitterly resented in the West Bank and Gaza.
In a message to the World Water Forum on Thursday, Palestinian Authority leader Mahmud Abbas accused Israel of flouting international law.
Palestinians had four times less water per capita than Israelis living in Israel, a consumption level that fell far below the World Health Organization's guidelines for minimum daily access to water, he said.
"Palestinians should not be forced to wait until a peace agreement is reached before (they are) allowed (their) rightful share of the transboundary water resources," he said.
Flavia Loures, senior programme officer for international law and policy on freshwater at the World Wildlife Fund, said governments urgently needed to set in place better mechanisms for resolving water disputes.
"We really need a stable cooperation now, before we come to the point where, due to climate change, competition for water resources becomes much stronger," she said.
Loures said a solution could be found in a UN pact that was signed in 1997 by more than 100 countries -- China, Turkey and Burundi demurred.
The accord, called the Convention on the Law of the Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses, requires parties to pledge "equitable and reasonable" use of water resources that straddle an international boundary.
But only 16 countries have ratified the convention so far, and 35 are needed before it becomes international law. France this month announced its intention to ratify. Loures said it was possible that the convention could become international law in 2011.
A European diplomat, though, said some countries, notably China, which have a river watershed, baulked at the convention.
"They fear it will entail interference in their internal affairs," he said.

Heather Watson survived cramp, an alarming dip in form and three match points against her to break down the stubborn resistance of the underrated Ksenia Pervak over three hours and book a third-round match against the flying fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska.
The British No1, who had complained of feeling unwell during her first match on Monday, again looked out of sorts on Wednesday before recovering to beat the 21-year-old Kazakh 4-6, 7-6, 6-2. The quality of the middle stages was markedly better than the first and third sets and Watson did well to come through a difficult period against an opponent willing to trade in lengthy baseline rallies.
Radwanska earlier made short work of the Romanian Irina-Camelia Begu, 6-3, 6-3, in about half the time.
Watson dropped serve in the fourth game and, when she could not take advantage of a break point in the next game, the set slipped away from her. From that point until her fightback in the second, it was a struggle. A shadow from one of the courtside lights put her off her serve and, detecting a lack of focus, perhaps, Pervak, ranked 82 in the world, 32 places behind Watson, hit a rhythm to take the set then break serve at the start of the second.
Little else went right for Watson, although she got the benefit of a dodgy line call when her sliced drop shot was called in at 30-40 in the third game.
Watson's touch returned after an hour of her poorest tennis in a while and, encouraged by a small gathering of compatriots on Court Eight (her Federation Cup captain, Judy Murray, among them), she held for 1-2.
She dragged herself back to parity with a gutsy break in the fourth game and the bounce returned to her athletic stride as she held with the help of another marginal line call from a desperate forehand down the line, and edged ahead 3-2 with serve.
The lottery on the outside courts without technology is alternately a curse and a blessing for players outside the top seedings at big tournaments; it was divided fairly evenly in this match, although that was hard to tell from Watson's demeanour.
When she hunted down a lost cause and Pervak netted the simple reply, she fed on the shift in momentum in a couple of cracking rallies from deep for a rare break point but the Kazakh served her way out of trouble. After an hour and a half, a set down and going with serve, Watson at least had given herself a look.
There was little in it as a contest at 4-4, as both players struck the ball cleanly and precisely into unprotected spaces, most of the rallies extending into double figures.
However, when the second set had gone 70 tough minutes, Watson looked to be cramping up, as she had done in her first round match on Monday. An atrocious call against her at the start of the 12th game and a less contentious one at the end of it did her no favours and Pervak levelled at 6-6.
The tie-break provided some relief from the grind but, when she murdered a regulation smash on the run at 3-4 on serve, Watson looked drained. She netted a forehand and Pervak served for the match at 6-3, but Watson hung on in one of the longest rallies of the match. When Pervak pushed a forehand wide, the serve was back with Watson at 5-6; this time a close line call went her way, and, when another smash presented itself, she led 7-6. Serving to stay in the set, Pervak welcomed a rare wild Watson groundstroke from behind the baseline. The line judge ruled harshly against Pervak, but there was no disputing her final wayward effort and Watson had somehow brought the match to a set apiece after two hours and 22 minutes.
Watson had saved six break points in the set and, rejuvenated by her effort, broke twice at the start of the third and held her nerve and the shape of her tennis to go to the line in relative comfort.
Elsewhere on that side of the draw, Madison Keys was so impressive beating Austria's 30th seed Tamira Paszek 6-2, 6-1 that Lindsay Davenport tweeted of the American teenager: "Really fun watching Keys play. Regardless on how this tourney plays out, incredible potential. Best hope I've seen for US since Williams."
The Americans are not having a brilliant tournament but the hosts are having a nightmare. When Sam Stosur blew a 5-2 lead in the third set against the unseeded Chinese Zheng Jie, her departure in the second round (with a double fault) left only two Australians standing from the 16 entered in the singles, Bernard Tomic and James Duckworth, after three days, the worst home performance in the Open era.

Thanksgiving Itinerary
I'm bored and getting tired of waiting, so I figured I'd throw my Thanksgiving trip plans up to see if anyone had any thoughts/suggestions, even though there is not much that can be changed at this point other than our plans in Munich.
11/19- Flying out- LCH-IAH-NYC-Heathrow, London
11/20, 8:30 AM - arriving at Heathrow Airport, London
- Taking the underground to a Bed and Breakfast to drop bags and try to fit as much of London in 1 day as we can. Goals- Harrods, Buckingham Palace, Millineum bridge, St. Pauls, a great place for fish and chips, Piccadilly circus, British Museum, ride the London Eye at sunset.
11/21, 9:30 AM - Chunnel to Paris. Drop bags, head to Eiffel Tower for lunch. See what else we can fit in for the rest of the day and next morning. Probably do a Hop on Hop of Bus tour.
11/22, 3:00 PM - Train to Munich
11/23- Pick up day. Pick up is scheduled for 4:30 PM. Our plan is to make it to the Welt around 11:00 and do the factory tour, then spend the rest of the day there until the pickup. (We finally decided that we aren't going to do any driving on this trip, we'll save that for our next ED (in the summer))
11/24,11/25- Just not sure yet. We've had plenty of great suggestions, but I'm just not sure how burnt out we'll be at this point. We might do a day trip to get out of the city (by train), we'll probably just go touring around the city these two days.
11/26, 5:00 PM- Fly to Amsterdam. Staying at one of the in-terminal hotels for the night.
11/27- Flying home. AMS-IAH-LCH
-I spent a summer in London about 10 years ago, but this will be my wife's first trip across the pond. I've never been to Germany.
-Flying into London was based more on using United Miles than anything else. We had 200,000 miles and were pretty hell bent on on getting a first class trip. London was what was available on the short notice (60 days) that we booked the trip on. We did discover that your international fees that you pay are based on which country you fly out of, and it is must cheaper to fly out of Germany than it is to fly out of most other countries.
-Please let me know anymore "Munich" things to do. Most trips I read about involve people getting out of town so they can drive their new ride.
-Just 13 more days!

Because vulvar pruritus has multiple etiologies, treatment depends on correct diagnosis.
- Lichen sclerosis. This condition is characterized by white patches that are extremely itchy and can develop into painful erosions and ulcerations. If left untreated, lichen sclerosis can scar the vulva, narrowing the vaginal opening. Extensive scarring can prevent intercourse and may close the urethra, causing women to have trouble urinating. Fortunately, if treatment begins before anatomic distortion occurs, response is excellent. Close monitoring is recommended, since recurrence is common and these women are at increased risk of developing vulvar carcinomas (cancer).
- Lichen simplex chronicus. This condition is caused by chronic exposure to irritants, leading to excessive scratching, which further traumatizes and irritates skin. Treatment is focused on eliminating potential irritants and preventing scratching. Women with this condition are instructed to wear gloves to bed, and a sleeping medication may be given to reduce scratching at night. These women are told to wash the vulva with water only, wear white cotton underwear, use white toilet paper, and to wash clothes with certain laundry detergents without fabric softeners. If they have an allergy to menstrual pads, a source for organic cotton pads is provided.
- Hidradenitis suppurativa. This condition causes acne-like lesions to grow into the skin, resulting in chronic inflammation. Women with this disorder experience various degrees of pain, drainage, and scarring. It is more common in overweight women, African-Americans, and women with a family history of the condition. Treatment begins with an antibiotic wash, hormonal intervention, and weight loss. Advanced disease requires aggressive surgical management.

Floriberto Parra-Munoz Jr., 28, of North Platte, died early Wednesday morning when the car he was driving went out of control on Interstate-80.
Earlier Parra-Munoz led police on a chase through North Platte at high speed.
A police patrol officer saw the Chevy Impala on East Fourth and believed it to be the same car that was involved in a gasoline drive-off on Tuesday at a Rodeo Road Kwik Stop.
The officer tried to stop the car, but it sped off, police spokesman Rodney Brown said. The officer chased the car east on Fourth, south to Philip, east to Newberry, north back to Fourth and south on Bicentennial.
The car ran several stop signs.
The police shift supervisor called the chase off out of concern for public safety.
Parra-Munoz was not positively identified as the driver at the time, but the car was registered in his name.
The gasoline was reportedly stolen Tuesday. A witness said Parra-Munoz drove off without paying for nearly $50 worth of gas. He was identified from a Nebraska ID he left at the store, Brown said.
Police were unable locate him at that time.
There were two other active warrants on Parra-Munoz, Brown said.

FLORENCE, S.C. – Francis Marion University is continuing its partnership with the Center for Educator Recruitment, Retention, and Advancement (CERRA) in Rock Hill, and 20 Pee Dee area high schools for the Teacher Cadet program.
The purpose of CERRA is to provide leadership in identifying, attracting, placing, and retaining well-qualified individuals for the teaching profession in South Carolina. In doing so, CERRA responds to the changing needs for teachers from under-represented populations, in critical subject fields and in under-served geographical areas in South Carolina. The FMU School of Education works with CERRA to promote the teaching profession through the Teacher Cadet program.
High-achieving high school juniors and seniors with an interest in becoming educators can apply to South Carolina's Teacher Cadet program. The Teacher Cadet program in high school is considered an introduction or orientation to the teaching profession. Its main purpose is to encourage students who possess a high level of academic achievement and the personality traits found in good teachers to consider teaching as a career.
An important secondary goal of the program is to provide these future community leaders with insights about schools. Although the course is taught at the college freshman level, the curriculum includes simulations and other hands-on activities designed to excite students about teaching. Students are exposed to teaching careers and the education system through a variety of teaching methods.
Francis Marion University is a college partner to the following 20 high schools: Aynor High School, C. E. Murray High School, Crestwood High School, Darlington High School, Dillon High School, East Clarendon High School, Hannah-Pamplico High School, Hartsville High School, Kingstree High School, Lake City High School, Lakewood High School, Lamar High School, Manning High School, Marion High School, Marlboro County High School, Mayo School for Math, Science, and Technology, Mullins High School, South Florence High School, West Florence High School, and Wilson High School. Upon successful completion of the Teacher Cadet curriculum and clinical experience, Teacher Cadets receive two hours of college-level credit at no cost.

I'm sure you've all noticed the MLB Front Office Manager ads running on the Blogs By Fans Network for the past week or so. I just wanted to reach out to all of our readers and explain what's going on with the advertisement, and the network as a whole.
This network has been, and will hopefully always will be, a passion project for myself and all of our writers. We truly love the teams we write about and we're just happy to have a platform to share our thoughts with a group of die-hard fans. That being said, we all have day jobs, responsibilities and bills to pay. That's where our marketing director, Lisa, comes in. She spends her days working hard to find advertisers who provide products or services that fit our audience. This time, I think she hit a home run.
2K Sports' newest game, MLB Front Office Manager, will be available in stores and online today. In a nutshell, it's a game that allows you to become the general manager of your favorite baseball team, which is essentially what we all do every day on sports blogs.
Since this is a blog, and my interaction with the readers is on a very personal level, I'll make you all a promise right now. I'll never write a post for an advertiser if I wouldn't spend my own money to purchase the product. With that in mind, I'll be stopping on my way to work to purchase a copy of this game. I'm not being paid to write this post, I'm writing it because the success of this network is very important to me and I really believe this game is a perfect fit for our audience.
You can see what the game is all about here. You can also order a copy of the game online through the same site.
Thanks for your time and your support of our network and its sponsors,

Jennifer Garner: All Smiles at Fred Segal
Taking a much needed break from her three young children, Jennifer Garner and a friend shopped at Fred Segal in Santa Monica on Tuesday (October 30).
The "Alias" star beamed in a cream colored top, blue skinny jeans, and beige flats as she chatted with her pal.
In addition to her beautiful family, the 40-year-old actress has even more to smile about. Her hubby Ben Affleck's movie, "Argo" hit the top of the box office this past weekend.
The movie, also directed by Ben, made nearly $12.4 in one weekend, bringing the total up to about $60.8 million.

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 23.0330 Monday, 13 August 2012
Date: Monday, August 13, 2012
Subject: I'm Back and Preview of Things to Come
Greeting everyone.
I flew back from Heathrow on Saturday and finally feel caught up on my sleep. Ironically, London was reportedly empty except in the Olympic venues, so I should have stayed a while longer after all. Nevertheless, I had an exhilarating time, visiting with old and new friends and attending some stimulating presentations and performances that I would like to report on in brief once I am caught up with other business.
Also, I am pleased to announce that subscriber Joe Egert has obtained from the Dugdale archives at Merevale Hall (UK) photographs of a Dugdale MS notebook page dated "1634" (Dugdale MS-Vol. VII-p.10), containing Dugdale's handwritten transcriptions of the Holy Trinity Church epitaphs of (1) William Shakespeare, (2) his wife Anne (d.1623), (3) his daughter Susanna (d.1649), (4) his son-in-law John Hall (d.1635), and (5) his grandaughter's husband Thomas Nashe (d.1647). These notes formed the basis of the printed versions on page 518 and 520 of Dugdale's Antiquities of Warwickshire (1656). The Dugdale family representative has granted Joe permission to publish these facsimiles online, and he has chosen SHAKSPER as the place those images will reside. I will place these images in the Archives with the notation From the Merevale Archives with the permission of Sir William Dugdale, who retains copyright. I will also create a compilation page with the MS page and I will Photoshop closeups from that page and-or the closeups provided to create a pdf file with all the requisite images and acknowledgement. We all owe Joe Egert and the Merevale Archives thanks for allowing SHAKSPER to distribute and archive these images.
I have a minor eye surgery tomorrow and should have the images ready by Wednesday.

Singer with College Degree Laments
Her 3rd-Grade Reading Skills
Lewis, who has toured worldwide with productions of the Gershwin opera Porgy and Bess and now lives in New York, commended the mayor for demanding 3rd-grade reading tests and holding back pupils who fail them. "To read in person is almost impossible for me," she wrote. "I'm crying as I write these words."
Lewis went to school in Indianapolis. Reading was taught by rote in her elementary school. "You either got it or you didn't," she told the New York Post (4-29-04). "The majority of us didn't get it at the time." Nevertheless, she proceeded to a high school "voted the 12th best high school in America," which graduated her in 1976 with a severe reading deficiency. "They just kept passing me," she said. A's in math offset her D's in English.
At Marian College, a small liberal-arts school, Lewis's instructors did not become aware of her handicap until senior year. Intensive one-on-one instruction pulled her through. Still, she has "such a phobia of reading in public."
"Reading is the greatest thing in the world," she wrote to Mayor Bloomberg. "The ones who learned it at the right time in life will never understand the pain one has when one can't."
At least 10,000 of the 80,000 New York City 3rd-graders who took citywide reading math tests in April are expected to be held back next year under Mayor Bloomberg's controversial decision to end social promotion. The city will provide specially tailored summer school, intensive instruction for retained 3rd-graders in the fall, additional teacher training, and smaller 3rd-grade classes. (Education Week, 6-16-04)

Are you a game developer with a released or upcoming digital-only PlayStation 4 or PlayStation Vita title? We would love to potentially work with you on a limited run physical release for your game!
Why work with us?
- We finance your entire run. If your game doesn't sell well, you are not at any risk.
- We do all the work for setting up packaging and ordering product - you can choose to have us design your package, or you can design it yourself. That's your choice!
- We market, sell, and ship your game directly to customers through our site.
- We are armed with engineers, test kits, and dev kits from our development side and are able to help in the creation of media ready builds. If you don't have time to build your game out, we can do it for you.
We set up Limited Run Games to help make limited physical releases a reality for more developers. We knew there would be two things holding most people back - 1) risk and 2) effort. We assume both of those burdens so you can just keep focusing on development.
What's the catch?
There isn't one. Initial sales of your game go towards paying back the cost of the run (which is literally just what we pay for the games - not our salaries or overhead). After that is paid off, we split any remaining sales 70/30 in your favor. That's a standard digital revenue share - exactly what you'd expect to give up to sell your games through most digital storefronts! Since we will sell your game at a higher price than your digital price tag - you stand to make the same or more per unit than you do digitally, even after considering the cost of goods.

The internet has been creaming itself over Toronto's hardcore sweethearts lately—for good reason. It doesn't matter if you're unfamiliar with Fucked Up's immense catalogue of 7" albums or its full-lengths, because David Comes to Life is a stand-alone piece of rock 'n' roll radness: loud, guitar-a-riffic, and sweeter than a trunk full of love notes from a high school girlfriend.
Yes, it's sentimental. Yes, the lyrics are tough to parse as vocalist Pink Eyes yell-talks his way through an hour of aggro, scratchy bellowing. Yes, it's a rock opera about a dude who works in a light bulb factory and loves a lady (Oh dear, will they be together forever-ever?). We should hate this—but we don't. I guaran-damn-tee that anyone who cranks "The Other Shoe" up to 11 and stares deep into the speakers will be humming the melody and whispering the refrain of "Dying on the inside" for weeks. What makes this album a goodie is the interplay between the big guitars and the blustery, barking vocals. Sure the male-female vocal trade-offs on "Queen of Hearts" are hokey, but love is hokey. Hardcore is hokey. Fucked Up embraces hokeyness and pop sensibilities, and delivers.

I'm looking into chin augmentation and I am considering either an implant or filler. I'm also thinking of corrective jaw surgery as a possibility. My situation is I'm in graduate school right now so my recovery time would have to be quick. I'd be open to having something more permanent done next summer when I have a couple months with no classes, work, etc. Any advice? Would filler be able to give me a stronger chin/jaw that I could test out? Has corrective jaw surgery ever helped?

I'm Looking into Chin Augmentation, Would You Recommend Implant or Filler?
I have used both fillers (I prefer Perlane or Radiesse) or chin Implants many times over the past 25 years. Fillers will last about 9-12 months and need to be repeated. Chin Implants are permanent.

Chin augmentation
Filler is a temporary option for patients who want to augment the chin without having a surgical procedure. But it will not yield nearly as good of a result as a surgical implant. I would recommend a consultation with an experienced facial plastic surgeon. He/she may use computer imaging software to give you an idea of how the final result may appear. The morphed image that is generated can also serve as a fantastic communication tool between you and your prospective surgeon, and allow you to make suggestions to him or her so you may obtain the best possible outcome. Thank you and I hope this helps!

I'm Looking into Chin Augmentation, Would You Recommend Implant or Filler?
A chin implant is a permanent solution that produces predictable effects. Radiesse to help augment bony prominences can be used as a temporary aid. However, the degree of augmentation will not be as profound. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of chin implants and facial procedures each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results.

Chin augmentation
I can see no cause to use injectible fillers as they create more soft tissue. What is needed is a bone substitute such as a preformed silastic implant. The down time after implanting one (especially when wearing short facial hair) could be 3 to 7 days. If you wish not to have surgery now, simply grow a bigger beard.

Chin Augmentation
If you are seeking to achieve chin augmentation now with minimal downtime, it sounds like you would benefit from having a hyaluronic acid filler put in first so that you can see what it would look like (computer imaging can also help you visualize what you may look like as well). You could then follow this up with a permanent chin implant next summer after the filler has gone away (or it can be dissolved prior to your surgery). Please know that fillers that are made of hyaluronic acid (such as Juvederm or Restylane) can be reversed prior to your surgery but others will not be and may be problematic if you are seeking surgery prior to their dissolution. Please consult with a board certified specialist who can assist you with achieving the results you seek.

In a recent talk I gave, I recommended using images to spice up your blog. I think it's great, and I often include images in my posts where I can. I typically grab screen shots, or use pictures I have, but I have linked from the Internet.
However someone asked me about copyright. My reply was that linking an image from another site should protect you from that. There was a case that went to through the courts that held a link, meaning a hot link (using the "img src=" tag), wasn't a copyright violation. But copying the file to your service and using it, was a violation.
However a few other people posted links to complaints people had made about hot linking, saying it was "bandwidth slurping or stealing."
I can see both points, and so I'm not sure what the proper thing to do is. I'll say this:
That's probably the best solution. I think that I'll give credit on future photographs that I use in my writings and copy them to my server.

20 Games Like Zombie Shooter 2()
Destiny 2
In Destiny 2, the last safe city on Earth has fallen and lays in ruins, occupied by a powerful new enemy and his elite army, the Red Legion. Every player creates their own character called a "Guardian," humanity's chosen protectors. As a Guardian in Destiny 2, players must master new abilities and weapons to reunite the city's forces, stand together and fight back to reclaim their home.
In Destiny 2 players will answer this call, embarking on a fresh story filled with new destinations around our solar system to explore, and an expansive amount of activities to discover. There is something for almost every type of gamer in Destiny 2, including gameplay for solo, cooperative and competitive players set within a vast, evolving and exciting universe.
Bungie has emphasized that the universe of Destiny will be "alive". Events may happen in-game that are not necessarily controlled or planned by the developer, which will help to create a dynamic developing experience for Bungie and a dynamic playing experience for gamers. The game's style has been described a first-person shooter that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements, but Bungie has avoided defining Destiny as a traditional MMO game. Instead, the game has been referred to as a "shared-world shooter," as it lacks many of the characteristics of a traditional MMO game. For instance, rather than players being able to see and interact with all other players in the game or on a particular server—as is the case in many conventional MMO games—Destiny will include on-the-fly matchmaking that will allow players to see and interact only with other players with whom they are "matched" by the game.
Destiny will incorporate a new game engine that allows global illuminations and real-time dynamic lighting to occur together. An innovation in Bungie's "hopper" technology, which has been the backbone for Halo's matchmaking system, will allow better player matchmaking in order to create a more natural experience in either cooperative or competitive multiplayer modes.
70 / 1001303.5
DESYNC is an intense, single-player first person shooter that begs you to play dangerously and creatively.

Launch an enemy into a trap with a well-placed shotgun blast, then destroy another while they're in the air. Think quickly and discover new combinations to maximize your score and decimate the leaderboards.
Mass Effect
Mass Effect invites players to take the role of Commander Shepard as they set out on an adventure to save the galaxy from imminent destruction. Wrought with treachery, heroism, difficult decisions and a universe filled with unique and colorful species, Mass Effect delivers a truly compelling storyline.
89 / 1005684.45
Wild Terra
It is action-RPG and sandbox hybrid with building, crafting, gathering, farming and land claiming elements. There is no NPCs in game so the only way to get something is to create it by yourself or trade from other players... or take it with brutal force. However we understand that not every one have enough time to "live" in game doing everything by their selves that is why all game processes are boosted to make game a little bit casual.
We can say this about your character development as well. It is very boring to level up your character to XX-level just to take a good sword in hands and start to fight. There would be leveling anyway however it would grant you small additional benefits in combats but not major domination.

Welcome to Brooklyn, Michigan. Home of the Michigan International Speedway and located deep into Irish Hills. There are many lakes in the Irish Hills, Michigan area. Lake Columbia is one of the largest, approximately 850 acre's of beautiful water. Lake Columbia is an all sports private lake, where you can enjoy boating, fishing, water-skiing, and the list goes on.
Our home is a two story colonial with a lower level walk out.The entire home has been reconstructed in January 2008. The main level has one bedroom and full bathroom.The upstairs has three large bedroom with two full bathrooms. The walkout lower level has two bedrooms and one full bathroom. The gourmet,fully equipped kitchen is very large with an center island and many windows looking onto the lake.
The French door off the kitchen leads to a raised deck for additional relaxation on the water.
The home offers two living/family rooms for your comfort needs and a first floor laundry. This home is completely furnished from TVs to bathroom towels. Completely stocked for all your needs.
This is not a rental income property for us, but rather our summer home. We only share it a limited time each year when we cannot use it, and ask that you'd respect it as if it were your own. Thank you
Keywords: House
This has been our 3rd time renting this home on Lake Columbia. Beautiful home and views of the lake. Large back yard with fire pit made for some fun evenings. Mom struggled to walk to the boat on her own but was able to get a golf cart to get her back and forth from house. Everything is very clean and Diane is always accessible by phone or email for any questions. Love the fact that the kids can have the whole bottom floor to themselves, mom has her bedroom/bath on the main floor to avoid steps and the rest of us are all on the 3rd floor with good views of lake from master. Cute shopping in Brooklyn for the girls and good variety of restaurants to choose from. Grocery store just 10 - 15 minutes away. Artisan Wells is a must for dinner and don't forget to go to Time Again for a great girl's shopping experience! Thanks Diane!
We were in town for my son's wedding. Since family came from all over, it was also a mini-reunion. We found the home superb. The views of the lake are magnificent. We highly recommend.
Prior to our stay, Diane was very helpful in answering our questions quickly and accurately.
We had our family reunion here and it was very special. There is ample room for larger family gatherings, as well as spaces for smaller groups to play games, chat, etc. The layout of the home is very flexible for sleeping arrangements as well. It has been recently remodeled and we found it in excellent condition. The air conditioning wasn't working for part of a day, but Diane was on that right away and it was fixed immediately. Thank you, Diane!!
We also rented the pontoon boat which allowed us to swim in various parts of the lake, since the home is on a canal which allows for younger children to wade, but not to actually swim. The surrounding area is very picturesque but we didn't even have time to explore since we were busy on the water. Maybe next time...
The listing was very accurate in giving us an idea of what our experience would be like, but it was even better! We are hoping to rent this again next summer and again make very special memories.
We had a great week and were pleasantly surprised when we walked into the house. It was great to have three levels so different activities and family members could have their own space without feeling crowded.
What a find! This lake home is a gem. The pictures do not do it justice....it is a large home! Parents could stay on main floor with out having to climb stairs, kids could hang out on first level and plenty of room on top floor to view the lake and have peace and quiet. I was a little leary of booking on a "canal" but found it to be a treat. Shallow enough for the kids to goof and fish and peaceful too. Plus the fishing was by far the best within 100 feet of the house. We caught more fish than any other lake that we have stayed on in the past 10 years. The 2 boats we rented really added to the vacation. Skiing and tubing were great for the speed boat and the adults could watch from the pontoon or do a night cruise. There is even an island on this lake to pull up to and have a picnic. Many things to do in the area for the kids....putt putt, cascade falls, deer feeding, ice cream, movies, MIS, Bunde Hill, and the grocery store is close too! God willing we will be back next year. Thanks to Diane who did an awesome job of communicating info. Thanks for the great memories!
Diane was wonderful to work with. She went out of her way to make things nice for us. We were a bit disappointed that we were really on the canal and not on Lake Columbia, but it was rather easy to walk to the lake area through the water since we were the first house down. You can not enter the lake from the "park" area adjacent to the yard. The house is beautiful, but not much seating space in the kitchen for large groups. The yard was great for the kids (big and little) to play in. They even had the extra bonus of having a basketball hoop to play with. The older kids fished for hours!

Woman Caught Cheating(????) On Her Husband With Large Snake
In what turned out to be an anniversary surprise gone terribly wrong, 26-year-old Andrea Johnson has been charged with bestiality after her husband discovered photos of her getting it on with their 12-foot boa constrictor Bobo. Because honestly, how else would you spice up a marriage?
The 42-year-old Iowan man stumbled upon the incriminating photos of his wife and the snake on her cell phone, and immediately took to social media with the photos as a cathartic shaming tactic. Which seems like the last thing most people would do when they find pictures of their wife getting frisky with a snake. I imagine the Facebook reaction buttons were created for shit-posts such as this, and truly hope a distant aunt from Denver loved the post and left a comment saying, "Wow, your wife and I have a lot in common!"
After properly outing his wife's snake preferences, and his own clamoring idea of "revenge," the man swiftly filed for divorce, which left Andrea heartbroken and aghast. After all, this was supposed to be a romantic gesture of inter-special sexing.
"I'm surprised he reacted in such a way. Sometimes we even sleep with the boa in our bed, I would've never thought he'd take it so badly," reported Andrea, deeply distressed over the phone. "I just hope he can forgive me and that we can all put this behind us. I really miss both of them."
She's currently facing three counts of bestiality and could face up to 2 years in prison, or a $6,250 fine. But really, what's two years in jail when you've finally found a scaly man who understands your sexual needs?
"What she has done with Bobo is despicable," Johnson told reporters, "I don't even want to know if she took those pictures for our upcoming first wedding anniversary, but those pictures are plain sick and twisted."
The local deputy sheriff Tom Bradley said this case was extremely rare, citing the last bestiality reports were years ago, normally implicating sheep or goats.

When summer comes, I start ordering a large variety of beverages at Starbucks. I like iced Tazo tea, iced chai, and even sometimes a Frappuccino. Of course, I do like iced coffee too I wondered what is your favorite non-coffee beverage at Starbucks? There is an incredible amount of choice in drinks that don't contain coffee. Actually, I am always a little surprised when people say to me, "I don't go to Starbucks because I don't drink coffee."
This morning (May 26, 2012) I tweeted that question, wondering what kind of answers I'd get. What is your favorite non-coffee beverage? Here's what a few people on twitter said:
- Kristina tweeted, "Chai Latte, green tea latte, and green tea lemonade."
- Ensanguin wrote, "The frozen strawberry lemonade! Tastes just like a strawberry starburst. Soooooooo yummy!"
- Sarah Andrews, who is a very Starbucks-passionate partner in Canada, likes the black tea: "Iced Venti One Pump Classic Black Tea Lemonade! I am addicted! You?"
- Earl Dizon picked these beverages: "Probably a vanilla roibus latte or a vanilla frappuccino with hazelnut, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle."
- Adam Gears likes a "Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with a Banana in it." By the way, I have tried that many times and it is delicious. If you blend in some honey, it's even better.
- Briana Saunders has her own favorite blended creation involving some tea and apple juice: "Ohhh, my fave is my own creation: passion tea, a little green tea & apple juice. Also love blended strawberry lemonade."
- Darkkatpouncing replied, "ooh…my fav non coffee drink at sbux has to be the "sugar free" iced chai latte
#yummy!" I've never tried the sugar-free version of the Chai beverage, but if you're interested, Starbucks recently posted (in their blogs) an official "how to" order a sugar free Tazo Chai beverage.
- April tweeted this for her favorite beverage: "favorite noncoffee drink at Starbucks: passion tea lemonade." That's a great standard. I drink plenty of those in the summer! Just as an aside, April produces a blog about coffee with a strong interest in Starbucks. Click here to read April's blog.
- Kenneth's favorite beverage is the "strawberry banana Vivanno smoothie."
- Marc Flores tweeted at me, "I'm sipping on a Soya Chai Creme Frappuccino."
- Tammy tweeted these drinks as her faves: "Sweetened iced passion fruit tea and Iced Chai Latte with soy are my afternoon choices."
- Danny tweeted that his favorite drink is the "earl grey tea latte!"
- Amalia likes this one! "the strawberry blended lemonade with one pump of raspberry. Delish and refreshing. Or just a blended passion tea (tea,water,ice)." I don't think I've ever tried just blending the passion tea, but I might have to give that a try!
- Jason has both a warm weather and a cold weather pick: "Cold weather, Earl Grey Tea Latte. Warm weather, Passion Tea Lemonade and/or smoothie (either fruit, no choc) with matcha."
- Here is Marc's favorite: "Chai latté hands down, green tea lemonade if it's really hot out, and the kid's hot choc is a big winner with my little one."
- David, a great partner in a store not far from me, tweeted that this is his favorite drink: "Passion Tea Lemonade no classic 3 pump Raz."
- Gabby G. recently tried this drink and liked it: "I had an iced Earl Grey latte the other day. It was excellent! I'd like to try more of their non-Chai lattes."
- Janie picked these drinks as her favorites: "vanilla bean with soy; shaken non-sweetened passion iced tea."
- Krista loves the chai latte. She seems unaware that there is coffee at Starbucks. 😉 She tweeted, "Wait….they sell other beverages?? J/k, love the chai latte!"
- Janel, like so many others with great taste, is a fan of the passion tea lemonade. She tweeted, "Passion ice tea lemonade…. Nice and refreshing!"
- Here are Dee's favorite drinks: "I love the soy chai lattes and double chocately chip fraps "
- Sharee is a fan of the black tea lemonade. "Black ice tea with lemonade unsweetened ahhh my fav."
- Frank likes iced tea too: "shaken iced tea lemonade sweetened trenta."
- Si Wong has his own twist on the well-loved iced passion tea: " iced venti unsweetened splash of strawberry at the bottom passion tea lemonade !"
- Jess has a favorite beverage that is a little bit confusing to tweet in 140 characters. Does sound delicious though! "A coconut, soy orange-mango cream frapp (made like a STCF but with the orange-mango juice instead). No classic, with coconut." She is one awesome partner too!
- I think Passion Tea Lemonade got the most tweets. Here is Amanda's favorite non-coffee beverage: "Passion Tea Lemonade!"
- Casey votes for the black tea, and tweeted, "The black iced tea is the best around. I consider myself a black tea connoisseur."
- Ms. CL tweeted this: "Raspberry lemonade."
- Rose S. tweeted that she likes a "Venti Iced Tea Black."
- Betina tweeted this: "Our family are big hot chocolate fans! Extra whip :)." I do like Starbucks hot chocolate! I tend to order it a little more often in the winter than summer.
- Caroline's favorite non-coffee drink is the "Caramel Apple Spice." Follow Caroline on twitter for legal tweets!
- And here is what Lisa R. tweeted at me, "Nothing like Starbucks ice water w lots of ice.
#nojoke. They make good ice! #healthy Maybe an idea brewing here?!"
- Here's Blair's favorite non-coffee drink: "iced grande caramel soy tazo chai tea latte."
One of my favorite non-coffee drinks is the iced soy chai latte with about an inch (or a little less) of soy foam on top of it. It's sort of the cocoa cappuccino version of an iced chai. I really do drink a variety of beverages but I am hooked on this one.
The partner who introduced me to the iced soy chai latte with foam was featured nearly three years ago in this blog post here! She's is still one very awesome partner!
Thank you to the many people who replied to me on twitter. I was totally (and happily) overwhelmed with the number of replies that I got. I had lots of fun reading everyone's favorite drink! I hope you did too – and maybe it gave you a few ideas of something new to try.
Without a doubt, if you use Twitter, I recommend that you follow everyone above!
The image of the coconut creme Frappuccino was borrowed from the Starbucks newsroom website. Did you know that when the creme-based Frappuccino was introduced into the lineup in 2002, that the coconut flavor was one of the original flavors?

Frequently Asked Questions
I have seen Hindu swastikas on Bali
Rick, not wanting to offend you, but I disagree that the Nazi swastika is an inverted version of the one used by followers of Hinduism. I have seen Hindu swastikas on Bali and in India that were identical to Nazi swastikas. Sometimes an inverted swastika is incorrectly used in hollywood movies about the Nazi era or appear in books where images have been incorrectly inverted. The actual symbol is not different in any way to those used in Bali. The fact that the swastika is a common symbol used in Hinduism is a coincidence. Whilst the Nazi party was certainly sinister, the swastika was adopted from Roman culture where it symbolised positive values of power and strength. The Nazis adopted a large number of symbols primarily from Roman symbols (eg swastikas, roman numerals for army division numbers, and the more stylised eagle) and several symbols from North European runes (eg. the SS insignia).The swastika has been used by a large number of cultures across the globe and was largely a positive symbol until it was used by the Nazis. To westerners the swastika is now associated with evil, but in Asia it is still seen in a positive light.

text: We kicked off our week-long getaway to the California sunshine, by meeting up with with our BFFs Michael and Heather in Palm Desert. Our first full day was spent relaxing by the pool and reacquainting ourselves with the huge yellow orb in the sky. The next morning, we grabbed sandwiches and made the trek to Joshua Tree National Park. It was perfect weather to explore the trails along the 20 mile stretch through the park. We scaled huge granite boulders, explored a jumping cholla cactus patch, and spotted lots of amazing wildlife: including jackrabbits, hawks and lizards. I was most in awe of the unique color palette of the desert – especially the contrast of the morphed granite rocks against the brilliant blue sky.

A nursery nurse has been convicted of neglect over the death of a toddler who died after she became trapped in a playhouse.
Two-year-old Rhiya Malin died of a heart attack caused by strangulation at the Eton Manor Day Nursery in Chigwell in 2007.
Nursery assistant Kayley Murphy, of Greenfields in Loughton, was found guilty of failing to ensure her safety at Chelmsford Crown Court on Friday.
The court heard that immediately before Rhiya's death, she was talking on her mobile phone.
Half an hour after children at the nursery were led to the garden there, staff brought them back inside and noticed Rhiya was missing.
She was found in the playhouse, hanging by her neck with her head trapped.
Karen Jacobs, 38, of Mill Lane, High Ongar, was cleared of health and safety charges.
Murphy is due to be sentenced on February 25.

Where did Boulder rank on PETA's list of the top vegan cities in the U.S.?
A scene from the Vegan Prom earlier this year. See our slide show at Fancy Pants Vegan Prom.
Christopher Morgan
The folks at PETA know a little something about avoiding meat, and they recently came up with a list of the top ten vegan-friendly cities in America. And while Denver has its share of vegan-friendly options, Boulder was the only Colorado city that made the list.
Turn the page to see how PETA described Boulder and then check out the full list of PETA's favorite cities, along with photos on the Latest Word blog.

A half-hour from Denver and a popular destination for outdoorsy types, Boulder has no shortage of hearty vegan options to fill you up after a long day of hiking. Vegans and meat-eaters alike love the customizable pizzas at Sun Deli & Liquor, which offers mouthwatering toppings such as Daiya cheese, dairy-free pesto, vegan chicken breast, and seitan sausage. Locals recommend the veggie pancake sauté and hummus pizza at Julia's Kitchen, and Tsing Tao offers a full menu of Chinese-style dishes made with soy meats, including orange "chicken" and Mongolian "beef." For lighter fare, try the mushroom-avocado tartar or raw manicotti made from zucchini noodles at Leaf Vegetarian Restaurant.
Boulder's many vegan-friendly restaurants, bakeries, bars, and grocery stores helped it edge out other college towns, including Gainesville, Florida; Madison, Wisconsin; Athens, Georgia; and Lawrence, Kansas, to make our list of the top 10 vegan-friendly cities in the nation.

Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe has confirmed the exit of two senior executives amid wider staff cuts under new boss Mitch Zuklie.
A new leadership team conducted an operational review of the US firm since Zuklie took over two months ago, resulting in the lay-off of two senior executives and 21 support staff.
Human resources officer Gera Vaz and chief knowledge officer Peter Krakauer were both made redundant, with responsibility for human resources passed on to chief legal talent officer Laura Saklad.
A spokesperson said: "Our new leadership team conducted a broad review of our operation seeking opportunities to enhance client services, further leverage our global operations centre and achieve additional cost efficiencies. As a result, we are focusing greater investment in certain areas and organizing ourselves to have flatter and more integrated teams."
The firm also confirmed that it has laid off 21 support staff in the US and relocated 11 other support staff to the firm's global operations center in West Virginia. A spokesperson for the firm's London office said the City office would not be impacted.
Chief operating officer Reid Horowitz is also leaving the firm, but a spokesperson said his exit is not linked to the recent cuts. The firm said: "After more than a decade with Orrick, he is ready for his next professional challenge."
At the end of October Silicon Valley partner and the head of Orrick's corporate business unit Mitch Zuklie was unveiled as chairman-elect, replacing Ralph Baxter who had led Orrick for 23 years.
