|Evaluation of Immune Responses to Different Antigens in Non Infectious Ocular Inflammatory Diseases
|Brief Summary
This study will collect blood samples from patients with non-infectious eye inflammatory diseases a spectrum of eye disorders that can produce sight-threatening vision loss. The blood will be analyzed for substances that may provide a better understanding of the nature of these disorders, possibly leading to improved treatments. Treatment is not offered under this protocol.
Patients 6 years of age and older with an eye inflammatory disease, including non-infectious uveitis, ocular cicatricial pemphigoid, non-infectious scleritis, episcleritis, Stevens Johnson syndrome, Moorens ulcer, peripheral ulcerative keratitis and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, may be eligible for this study. Patients may or may not currently be participating in a treatment trial.
Participants will have blood drawn through a needle in an arm vein. More samples may be collected if patients enrolled in another study are scheduled for additional visits. No more than 4 teaspoonfuls of blood will be collected at any one time.
|Detailed Description
Ocular inflammatory diseases can lead to visual loss in adults as well as in children. These conditions are usually characterized by repeated exacerbations and remissions. The underlying cause of majority of these conditions is not clear even though an autoimmune mechanism has been implicated. Various studies have reported an altered immunological profile in these patients. An underlying immune mechanism has been thought to be playing a role in at least some of the ocular inflammatory diseases. In addition, evidence from literature also suggests inflammatory disease may be an important mechanism leading to Age related macular degeneration and Diabetic retinopathy, two leading causes for vision loss. However, very little is known about the involvement of immune components in these patients.
This protocol proposes to test for proliferative cell mediated and humoral responses against self-antigens from patients with ocular inflammatory diseases, AMD and diabetic retinopathy. Patients will be recruited from other ongoing protocols. An attempt would be made to find any correlation between the clinical disease and the immunological findings. These findings will not be used for diagnostic nor therapeutic purposes.

Ship Weight:0.08 Ecco Bella FlowerColor Natural Liquid Foundation Natural 15 SPF 1 oz. (30 mL) Ecco Bella Flower Color Natural Liquid Foundation Natural is a treatment, sunscreen and foundation all in one! Natural Liquid Foundation is water-based, lightweight and natural-looking, but with excellent coverage. Natural Liquid Foundation works hard to keep skin healthy with both a UVA /UVB sunscreen, organic herbs, and antioxidants. Organic aloe vera quenches thirsty skin, saccharide isomerate, a natural sugar that binds water to the skin acting as a reservoir for continuous moisture. Ecco Bella FlowerColor Natural Liquid Foundation SPF 15 is also formulated with organic herbs and vitamin E to rejuvenate, protect and soothe skin. Free of Anything You Won't Like! The products are free of water, gluten, dyes, GMO's and preservatives. Ecco Bella - FlowerColor Natural Liquid Foundation Natural is: Gluten Free Vegan Paraben Free FlowerColor Mineral Make-up + Flower Waxes Make-up from earth minerals infused with flower waxes. As a flower stays beautiful over time, this flower wax-infused make-up glides on and lasts longer. Professionals use it, actresses demand it. You'll love it. It's ecology gone beautiful. Look for the refillable compacts for eyeshadow and blush. Gluten-free, preservative-free cosmetics for sensitive skin. Flower Wax is one of nature's best kept secrets: the delicate wax that forms a protective coating on flower petals. Without it, the bloom would quickly wilt under the scorching sun and drying wind. And what flower wax does for flowers, it can do for your skin. Flower waxes cushion the pigments so make-up feels better and lasts longer, while the natural colors self-adjust to your skin tone. Ecology never looked more stunning. And neither will you. What makes Ecco Bella products different?Ecco Bella was started out of protest to the testing on animals for cosmetics, and the mission expanded to creating products from the universe of organics and nutraceuticals as well. As an activist company, they source ingredients from ethical suppliers and stay away from ingredients that may cause harm to the environment. Besides speaking out for animals, and conserving the environment, Ecco Bella products conserve money. Every Ecco Bella skin care product is both anti-aging and anti-blemish. That means fewer products to buy. And those you do buy are special. Products are preservative-free*, water-free, alcohol-free, for sensitive skin, and rich in age and blemish preventing vitamins like lutein and lycopene. *Natural Foundation is paraben-free. Which products are gluten-free and safe for customers with celiac sprue?There is no gluten or wheat protein in any Ecco Bella product. Do Ecco Bella products contain any dairy products such as lactose or casein?No. Which products are suitable for vegans?Currently all products are vegan except for the following lip products which contain carmine. Lipsticks: Pink Rose, Mauve Rose, Claret Rose, Tuscany Rose and Napa Grape, Good For You Gloss: Pleasure and Passion. Lip Crayons: Crimson, Cranberry, Great Pink and Raspberry Port. Blush colors that contain carmine are Burgundy Rose and Orchid Rose. Lip Liner: Mauve. Beige and Medium Beige Cover-Up sticks contain beeswax. How are Ecco Bella products tested?Animal testing is unacceptable to Ecco Bella in any form because it is cruel and provides unreliable results. It is not required by law. Ecco Bella tests their products on themselves and they use ingredients that have been in use for years and are considered safe. Unfortunately, many ingredients have been tested on animals by the manufacturers years ago. Ecco Bella is unable to control the testing of ingredients, but they do oppose testing of any materials on animals and ask their suppliers not to test. Currently there are alternatives to animal testing that use cell membranes and computer modeling to determine safety. Ecco BellaEcco Bella is a pioneer in the creation of luxurious natural beauty products and natural skin care. Ecco Bella is a health and wellness beauty brand that has revolutionized holistic, organic, cruelty-free products. Holistic doctor approved, Ecco Bella offers a unique expertise in beauty, nutrition and wellness.

Coss on Cheney: It may not be the most pressing issue for Santa Feans, but it is one vexing President Obama, armies of lawyers and untold thousands trapped in modern-day dungeons: torture.
At the June 10 Santa Fe City Council meeting, Mayor David Coss will ask his colleagues to endorse the United Nations International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. That day, June 26, marks the 22nd anniversary of the UN Convention Against Torture—a treaty top human rights lawyers say the US broke repeatedly during the "war on terror." The resolution skirts a controversial question: Should high-ranking members of the Bush Administration—like former Vice President Dick Cheney, who ordered and now publicly defends "enhanced interrogation techniques"—face prosecution?
"I support prosecution," Coss says. Specifically, he favors a "truth commission" and prosecution for the torture policy makers "where warranted."
Rape Claim Against Yoga Guru: The Cordova Road Dahn Yoga studio now advertises its "Brain Wave Vibration" classes with a large banner facing Trader Joe's customers. Earlier this year, SFR reported on the controversial organization's campaign to win endorsements from elected officials.
The plot thickened late last month, as a group of former Dahn students and instructors sued the organization and its founder, Ilchi Lee, in federal district court in Arizona. Cathleen Mann, a Colorado psychologist and designated plaintiffs' expert on the case, writes to SFR that this is a "one of a kind lawsuit, which is pretty devastating to the Dahn organization and its leader, Ilchi Lee."
The lawsuit includes a graphic allegation of sexual assault perpetrated by the founder, whose given name is Seung Huen Lee, against Jessica Harrelson of Massachusetts, who joined Dahn in 2003. By 2005, the group sent Harrelson to training in Korea. After returning to Boston, Lee quickly summoned her back to Korea; she complied. One night in Korea, she claims, Lee lured her into bed, forced her to perform oral sex, then raped her. Harrelson could not consent to sex, the complaint says, because "she had been indoctrinated by Dahn to ignore her inner will and desires, and to subsume her will to the leader, Ilchi Lee." The suit suggests Harrelson was not the first to have such an experience.
In addition to seeking damages for psychological trauma, the suit alleges labor law violations, fraud and racketeering. The Dahn organization has settled previous lawsuits out of court.
"Our position is that the lawsuit is frivolous and based on complete falsehoods," Dahn spokesman Joseph Alexander says. The plaintiffs are "a few disgruntled employees" out of 2,000 who "want money."

Pitt shows resilience after Durand Johnson's season-ending injuryJanuary 15, 2014 11:27 PM
ATLANTA -- Pitt didn't have Durand Johnson for the first time Tuesday night against Georgia Tech and Lamar Patterson didn't have his best game.
Yet, when final horn sounded, the Panthers walked out of McCamish Pavilion with an 81-74 win against the Yellow Jackets, a six-game winning streak and a share of first place in the ACC.
That says a lot about the Panthers' depth, but it showed that the Panthers were serious about their "next-man-up" approach to each game.
Without Johnson, the Panthers' sixth man, point guard James Robinson stepped up and scored 16 points, which is more than twice his season average of 7.6 points per game. Senior Talib Zanna, who averaged 12.4 points per game before Tuesday, scored 22.
"We have depth on this team," Patterson said. "James stepped up, Talib played a great game, Mike Young was a beast rebounding and Cam [Wright] played a great second half.
"We have a lot of good players, and our team is not about one person and [Tuesday night] we definitely showed that. We have to make sure we are ready to go every night, we have that attitude that we don't want anyone to catch us on an off night.
"[Tuesday night] was bad personally for myself, but other guys stepped up and so we did a great job of that."
Zanna indicated that the Panthers (16-1, 4-0) were continuing their season-long trend of picking up for each other.
He said he knew he had to pick up some of the slack and noted that Robinson and Young, a freshman who had 6 points and 7 rebounds and was 4 of 4 from the field, did the same thing.
"Losing Durand is a sad thing for us, he is our shooter, he is energy guy, he is really intense," Zanna said. "But we just know we have a lot players we can rely on, like Mike Young. He came out strong and rebounding and he kept crashing the glass and knocked down some big free throws.
"I am a veteran, I have a lot of experience, I want to lead by example. I knew that Lamar was kind of off and the ball wasn't going the way he wanted and we were missing Durand, so I knew I had to bring my best and bring a lot to the table."
Robinson knew that his team might need him to score a few more points than usual, so he was more aggressive offensively.
But he stressed that all the players know that filling a void doesn't mean the Panthers should get away from what they do best, which is play unselfish offense, play strong team defense and rebound.
He said those principles are the foundation of the team.
"We really just want to grind teams out, all 40 minutes and keep battling, just keep fighting" Robinson said.
"Everybody is just trying to step up, not just one or two, everybody -- we miss Durand and we will miss him for the rest of the season but we know he will still be with us in spirit and he will be that energy guy for us."
Jones was given the first shot at replacing Johnson, but he struggled while playing only four minutes and quickly got into foul trouble.
Jones also got lost a few times on defense and did not return after his brief appearance.
"He'll be back, don't write him off," Dixon said, with a smile. "He got the two fouls, and we got Josh [Newkirk] in there, but [Jones] will be back, he will be in there on Saturday and he will play good for us."
The Panthers' depth will face a much bigger test Saturday when they visit No. 2-ranked Syracuse (17-0, 4-0) at Carrier Dome, where Pitt has enjoyed much success with five wins in their past six trips there.

That might explain why I have gravitated toward the teachings of Ajahn Brahm, although I cannot say with any certainty whether he handles money or not -- I'm thousands of miles away.
Checks. There is some controversy over the status of checks under this rule. In legal terms, a check is a notice to a bank to provide funds for the payee. Because banks are corporate individuals and not "places," a check made out to a bhikkhu is thus equivalent to a notice from a donor to a steward to provide funds on the bhikkhu's behalf. Because the funds in question do not change ownership until the recipient cashes the check, this strengthens the similarity to funds placed with a steward: The funds still belong to the donor until they are used, and the steward is responsible if they become lost in the meantime. Thus the simple act of receiving a check counts not as an act of receiving money but as an acknowledgement of the notice. In passing the notice to someone else, one is simply informing them of the donor's arrangement. Only if a bhikkhu cashes a check or gives an order to someone else to do so does he commit an offense under this rule.

Learning how to make turkey stock is a topic most of you aren't thinking about right this minute, but in a few days it may be on your mind. Personally I believe you can't really make good turkey soup without turkey stock, and one of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is making the house smell good with the big roasting pan of turkey bones and veggies simmering on the stove.
I've been making turkey stock for years, but I'm not a stock purist; I think a little Penzeys Turkey Soup Base is a good thing. But even if you didn't remember to order that in time, read on; there are some tricks to making turkey stock taste good.
Tips for Making Flavorful Turkey Stock
~Put turkey carcass into a big stock pot with water to cover, leaving a bit of room to add vegetables.
~Add a generous amount of cut-up carrots, celery, and onions to the stock pot.
~Add dried thyme (about 1/2 tsp. per quart of water) and dried sage (about 1/4 tsp. per quart of water.) You can also use a blend of spices called Poultry Seasoning if you prefer.
~Adding a small amount of turkey soup base can really increase the flavor of the stock. I prefer Penzeys Turkey Soup Base, but I've also used Better Than Bouillon brand. If you don't have either of these, you could add a tiny bit of soy sauce or some Kitchen Bouquet to give the turkey stock a bit more flavor and color.
~Let the stock simmer all day on the stove, adding more water as needed. I usually start with a small amount of turkey soup base, thyme, and sage, and then after a few hours I taste to see if I want to add more of those ingredients.
~When you're ready to stop cooking the stock, use a fine-mesh skimmer to remove the vegetables, or strain the stock through a fine strainer into a different pot. Taste for flavor and simmer to reduce until the flavor is as concentrated as you want it. (If you're not going to use it right away and you have limited freezer space, you can boil it down to a very small amount and add water when you use it.)
~If the stock seems fatty, use a fat separator to remove fat, or put the stock in the fridge overnight and the fat will rise to the top where you can scoop it off.
~Frozen stock will keep in the freezer for at least six months, and delicious turkey soup will taste good all winter!

Like his Argos-Shimano team mate Marcel Kittel, winner in Tours during the last Tour de France, John Degenkolb captured a prestigious victory on the famous Avenue de Grammont. This 107th edition of the classic wasn't meant to be for the four breakaway riders that took off at km 35, nor for the strong men in the hills before Tours. In a bunched sprint, Degenkolb eventually beat his rivals Morkov and Démare to the line to capture his first Paris-Tours victory.Read more Key moments

The HDHP option provides four levels of coverage:
- Preventive Care
- Annual Deductible
- Coinsurance
- Out-of-Pocket Maximum
Level 1: Preventive Care – 100%
Level 1 includes 100% coverage for preventive care, such as annual physicals and screenings based on age and gender. These services are provided at no cost to you when you use an in-network provider. Preventive care sets the foundation for all of your health care, and is the first step to staying healthy. Preventive care generally does not include services that are intended to treat an existing illness, injury, or condition.
However, in situations where it is unreasonable or impractical to perform another procedure to treat the condition, any treatment that is incidental or ancillary to a preventive care service or screening is also considered preventive care. Under current federal tax guidance, the following services are considered preventive care:
- Periodic health evaluations, such as annual physicals;
- Well-child care;
- Child and adult immunizations; and
- Screening services for a variety of conditions including cancer and heart disease.
The deductible will be waived for certain preventive drugs. Those preventive drugs include various types of vitamins (geriatric, pediatric, and prenatal), cholesterol lowering agents, agents for osteoporosis, and diabetes therapies. View the CVS/Caremark HDHP Preventive Therapy Drug List (PDF).
Level 2: Annual Deductible –
$1,600 Individual, $3,200 Family
The next level is the annual deductible. Your annual deductible is the amount you need to pay before your medical and prescription drug plan pays for benefits. The HDHP has a combined deductible for medical and prescription drugs. With the exception of some preventive care medications, prescription drugs are not covered until the annual deductible is met. Tip: You can use your HSA to help offset the cost of the deductible and other eligible out-of-pocket expenses.
Level 3: Coinsurance –
10% for In-Network Once the Deductible is Met
After the annual deductible is met, coinsurance begins. Coinsurance means you and the Plan share the cost of eligible expenses. The Plan pays a percentage of your expenses — 90% for in-network services — and you will pay the remaining 10%. If you use out-of-network providers, your coinsurance goes up to 30%. It's important to remember that not only is your cost lower when you use an in-network provider, due to network discounts, NYU's cost is also lower. In-network providers have agreed to charge lower rates so both you and NYU pay less.
Level 4: Out-of-Pocket Maximum –
$3,000 Individual, $6,000 Family for In-Network; and $5,000 Individual, $10,000 Family for Out-of-Network
Once you reach the out-of-pocket maximum, the Plan pays 100% of covered medical expenses for the rest of that calendar year.
Tip: Decision Support Tools in the Benefits Resource Center
NYU is committed to providing you choice, value, and quality in health care coverage, with benefit plans that are competitive, affordable, and compliant. During Annual Enrollment, you will have access to robust Decision Support Tools that will be available through the Benefits Resource Center. These tools will help you decide which health care coverage is right for you and your family.

"Organizing the Jewels for Children raffle has been a wonderful experience for me," said Cheryl Fornash of Cheryl Fornash Jewelers. "Working with the Children's Hospital Junior Board has been delightful, and the jewelers have once again been gracious and extremely generous."

With a fan base that almost parallels the Grateful Dead's following in size and fervor, and a penchant for extended jams and spacey segues, comparisons between Phish and that legendary group are as pervasive as buckshot 10 yards out of the barrel. But like buckshot, these comparisons spread too thin, too quickly and often fall short of their mark. Phish is its own animal.
While the band is well-known for such tangibles as epic three-hour shows, zany lyrics and onstage antics (vacuum cleaners, chess games and gigantic hot dogs, to name a few), it's the intangibles - the sheer musical prowess -- which have earned Phish their army of followers. Their music spans the spectrum of styles; obvious influences come from rock, jazz, blues and bluegrass. But somehow, the band manages to transcend each of these genres to create their own ahem Phishy verve.
Phish got its start on the University of Vermont campus in 1983 when guitarist/vocalist Trey Anastasio met up with Jeff Holdsworth. The two quickly recruited a young, bespectacled Jon Fishman for drums, and picked up bassist Mike Gordon from a classified ad. In 1985, Page McConnell joined the band on keyboards, and convinced Anastasio and Fishman to transfer to his school, Goddard College.
Holdsworth left Phish in 1986, and the band stepped up its efforts to produce new, original material. For his senior thesis, Anastasio wrote and recorded The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday (TMWSIY). Drenched in Campbell-esque mythos, TMWSIY recounted the tale of an evil king's lordship over his subjects and the protagonist's efforts to free the land known as Gamehendge from tyranny. Although TMWSIY was never an official Phish release, the band often includes songs from it in their live shows. On more than one occasion, they have performed TMWSIY onstage in its entirety.
Junta was released in 1988. The cassette, made available at shows, was an ambitious freshman undertaking for Phish. Anastasio flexed his compositional skills on such epic songs as "Divided Sky," "David Bowie" and "Fluffhead," each clocking in at over 10 minutes. Junta arguably fell short in the lyrics department, spinning off such ditties as "You Enjoy Myself" with only four intelligible words ("Boy, Man, God, Shit") and "Dinner and A Movie," where the only lyrics were "Let's go out to dinner and see a movie." On the other hand, given the intricate musicality and impressive soloing evident in these songs, the lyrics could be taken as a merely slipcover for the music. In any case, the music and the lyrics established Phish as a talented quartet with wacky sensibilities.
During the next two years Phish expanded its touring base to include most of the Northeast. In 1990, they headed out to Colorado for a five-show stint, sprinkling gigs across the Midwest on the way there and back. Phish@world, a listserv dedicated to discussion about the band, formed later that year, marking the beginning of what would later grow to be an enormous online community of fans.
With the release of Lawnboy in autumn of 1990, Phish showed that they could write a catchy tune. Some of the songs retained the epic, jazzy sentiment of Junta, but added on infectious, lyrics-driven preludes ("Squirming Coil," "Reba"). Others, like "Bouncing Around the Room" and "Bathtub Gin" dropped almost all lengthy pretense, leaving trippy lyrics and simple melodies. Lawnboy also laid to tape for the first time Phish's genre-bending sensibilities, with the bluegrass "Poor Heart" and "Lawnboy," a lounge rip-off.
The summer of 1991 was full of landmarks for Phish. They recorded their next album, Picture of Nectar in Burlington, Vt., engineered the temporary addition of a horn section (The Giant Country Horns have since reappeared on various special occasions) and retreated to fan Amy Skelton's farm for a free outdoor show. The band also opened negotiations with Elektra Records, eventually coming to an agreement later that autumn.
Picture of Nectar came out in February 1992. While it managed to capture the energy of a live Phish show, it lacked cohesiveness, moving frenetically from rock to jazz to bluegrass to lounge. Many of the songs worked well as stand-alones, but Nectar failed to coalesce as an album.
On the digital front, the Phish listserv had graduated onto usenet. The fledgling newsgroup, rec.music.phish provided a more easily accessible forum for fans to trade tapes, exchange tickets and spread information about Phish and related musical projects.
That summer, Phish toured Europe, participated in the first H.O.R.D.E. tour and rounded things off by teaming up with Santana for several amphitheater shows. Although Phish were limited to one abbreviated set (approximately 45 minutes instead of their usual two 60-minute plus sets), the tour with Santana helped them grow, perhaps more than any other tour to that point. The band benefited greatly from Carlos Santana's wisdom -- both about music itself and the challenges of being in a band.
Phish faltered a bit in their next two recordings. Unlike Nectar, the 1993 Rift had cohesiveness, but lacked energy. Although some of the tracks later grew legs in the live performance ("Maze," "It's Ice"), Barry Beckett's production work and Phish's quest for a better album sterilized the songs considerably. In an effort to produce a more organic sound the next time around, Phish played the songs on Hoist (1994) for the first time while in the studio. The result, while lively and concise, lacked the free-form structure that had become Phish's trademark.
In 1993 and 1994, the Phish fan base exploded. Usage on rec.music.phish jumped to more than 40,000. Shows moved from clubs to theaters, and then quickly to arenas and summer sheds. The band enhanced their live show, using signals (the audience would listen for a series of sounds and respond accordingly, ie yelling, "doh!" when the Simpsons theme was teased) and other audience-driven tools to compensate for the more impersonal venues. Additionally, Chris Karuda, the band's lighting director developed breathtaking arrays that complemented the music.
Halloween that year brought an unusual treat, as Phish covered the Beatles' White Album for the second set of their three-set show. The album was chosen by fans on rec.music.phish, and marked the beginning of what is now a three-year Halloween tradition of sonic garb. In 1995, Phish showed up as The Who for the second set, performing Quadrophenia in its entirety. Anastasio and the band picked the Talking Heads' seminal Remain In Light for the 1996 show.
Phish tried their hand at a live LP in June 1995. Aptly named A Live One, the album contained two discs of prime Phish material from live shows. Much to the avid fans' delight, previously unreleased, but favored vintage Phish songs like "Slave to the Traffic Light" and "Harry Hood" were included.
Phish reached new heights in 1996, when they drew a reported 75,000 (unofficial reports set the number as high as 137,000) fans to their final summer tour show in Plattsburgh, N.Y. Dubbed "The Clifford Ball," the show was, in fact a two-day extravaganza. "The Ball" took place on a retired Air Force base and featured three sets of Phish each day, amusement rides and a symphony orchestra. The Phish organization provided inexpensive food and sundries, free drinking water, security and first aid stations.
The band, which had been previously under the media's radar screen, began to appear in national publications and on MTV with alarming regularity. Amidst the hubbub, Phish came out with their best effort to date, Billy Breathes.
Billy Breathes avoided the trappings of earlier albums, marrying cohesion with free-form sensibility. The album moved gracefully from great rockers ("Free," "Character Zero"), to soft acoustical numbers ("Waste," "Talk," "Trainsong"). "Cars, Trucks and Buses." A frolicking, organ jazz composition fit neatly in there, and the album ended with the meditative "Prince Caspian."
Phish ushered in 1997 with a raucous three-set performance at Boston's Fleet Center (which included a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" with the accompaniment of the Boston Community Choir), then surfed the subsequent wave of media and commercial recognition over to Europe for a month-long stint.
After returning to the States for a Lake Champlain benefit show and their second ever appearance on Late Night With David Letterman, Phish rested for three months, then shipped back overseas to debut a handful of new songs on the Continent.
In late 1997 Phish released Slip Stitch and Pass, the group's second live recording in as many years.
A six-disc live album, Hampton Comes Alive, came out in November 1999, containing two complete live shows recorded in Hampton, Va. Phish's latest studio album, Farmhouse, was released in May 2000.

(Makes 6-8 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 small onion, diced small
1 cup celery, diced small (use celery leaves too if available)
2 tsp. olive oil
1 T ground cumin
1 T chile powder
1 tsp. celery seed
1 tsp. garlic powder or garlic puree
4 cups homemade chicken stock (or 2 cans chicken broth)
1 can vegetable broth
1 can petite diced tomatoes
1 cup salsa (I used Pace Picante Sauce)
6-8 drops Green Tabasco Sauce or your favorite hot sauce (taste to see if you want this)
1 or 2 cans black beans (not drained unless you choose to rinse the beans to reduce the amount of sodium)
2 cups cooked chicken, cut in very small pieces (leftover rotisserie chicken is great for this)
1 cup chopped cilantro leaves and stems (chop the stems very small), plus more for serving if desired
3 T fresh lime juice
cut limes, for serving (optional)
sour cream, for serving (optional)
Add the chicken stock, vegetable broth, tomatoes, and salsa, and simmer 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, taste for hotness and add green Tabasco if desired. Add black beans and chicken and simmer 15-20 minutes more. While the soup simmer, wash, dry and chop enough fresh cilantro to make 1 cup chopped cilantro. and squeeze enough limes to make 3 T juice.
After 15-20 minutes, add the chopped cilantro and simmer 5 minutes, then add lime juice and cook 2-3 minutes more. Serve hot with fresh limes to squeeze into the soup, with sour cream and additional chopped cilantro to sprinkle on top if desired.
To make a delicious vegetarian soup, use 3 cans vegetable broth and eliminate the chicken stock, and 3 cans black beans and eliminate the chicken.

Gerrans enters the legend
On the final straight in Ans, Simon Gerrans became the first ever Australian to claim Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Winner of Milan-San Remo, of stages on the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta, the Orica-Greenedge rider adds this 100th edition of La Doyenne to his already impressive list of victories. Gerrans made the best of his sprinting qualities to beat Alejandro Valverde and Michal Kwiatkowski to the line. After 6 men enjoyed a long breakaway, the main favourites ended up watching each other and Gerrans made the best of his speed to triumphantly lift his arms to the Belgian sky.Read more Key moments
