Happy New Herbs, Plants, Veggies, and Flowers
Assorted Herbs
From The CookMobile comes a recipe featuring one of my favorite pairings, mustard and herbs. Lalaine has combined them in Herb and Mustard Cornish Hen, marinated overnight and then roasted until it's golden brown, just delish.
The next recipe that featured assorted herbs sounded like something I would absolutely love, a type of sauce featuring eggs, mustard, shallots, capers, olive oil, vinegar, and herbs. Not only does it sound like a quick recipe, but Y from LemonPi gives some great ideas for using 4 Minute Egg Gribiche as well.
Assorted Vegetables
I love seeing what good cooks are making all over the world, and Ivy from Kopiaste, to Greek Hospitality has sent us a recipe for a vegetarian dish from Greece called Briam. You can vary the vegetables you use, but her version uses zucchini, potatoes, onions, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and a lot of delicious herbs. I'm sure this is delicious!
When she traveled to Bali last year Anna from Morsels and Musings wanted to try a type of sweet avocado smoothie she'd heard about, but it was not avocado season. Now Anna has made her own version of Sinh To Bo, the creamy avocado drink with sweetened condensed milk.
Blood Oranges
Another very uncommon ingredient used in an interesting way comes from Helene from News From My Kitchen. Although it's not summer, Helene says her kids like ice cream every day, so to please them and provide a lot of vitamin C as well, she's created a delightful sounding Blood Orange Ice Cream. You can also read about the different types of blood orange in this post.
Brussels Sprouts
Katie at Thyme for Cooking is not having a good day with her computer, in a scenario that involved smelling smoke, vacuuming the computer and attempted back-ups and finally two yummy sounding recipes for Brussels Sprouts when it became clear the computer was not going to cooperate and cooking therapy was called for. The resulting recipes for Sautéed Sliced Brussels Sprouts and Shallots and Fried Rice with Brussels Sprouts sound great, but I do hope the computer is okay.
Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
Ulrike from Kuchenlatein is having fun cooking in her shiny new kitchen! For this week she has made a delicious sounding dish, Spiced Chickpeas with Halloumi, with some roasted peppers and spinach for even more flavor. Halloumi is something I've looked everywhere for in Salt Lake, and still haven't found!
Chili Peppers
What we call salsa in America is simply called hot sauce in France, and Jennifer from Like to Cook has grown her own peppers and created a Simple and Versatile Hot Sauce that really sounds great. There's also lots of good information here about the health benefits associated with hot peppers and a guide to which types of peppers are hottest.
Jerry from Jerry's Thoughts, Musings, and Rants made a special dish for Christmas Breakfast. Although it featured chives, another unique thing about his Eggs Benedict on Savory Waffles was how he made the waffles. I'm going to let you go read about it yourself, but it does sound delicious.
I learned a lot about how cranberries are grown in this post from Cyndi of Ruminations, who's returning to WHB this week. Cyndi has used her cranberries to make Cranberry Bread Pudding; so delicious sounding, it's worth making an extra one for the freezer.
Cruciferous Vegetables
My own WHB post this week was about cruciferous vegetables, more specifically Crunchy Cruciferous Chopped Salad, one of my favorite side dishes and something I eat all year. I was completely surprised by the number of people who liked this idea, so if you're open to the thought that salad doesn't have to have lettuce, check it out.
At Blog From Our Kitchen, Elizabeth and husband got a late start on New Year's Eve dinner and then had a few mishaps, but still managed to produce an amazing sounding Mushroom Ravioli with Dill. Besides that recipe, there's a lot of good information about growing dill and how to use it in this informative post.
Rachel at Cooking and Booking has used a new treatment on Edamame or green soybeans, one of my very favorite snack foods. I'm sure there's not a bad way to eat these, but Rachel's Roasted Salt and Pepper Edamame sound like they would definitely be outstanding; definitely something I'd love to try.
Next is a two-for-the-price-of-one, something everybody likes. The Expatriate's Kitchen explores the versatility of fennel, and then gives us two great sounding recipes for using fennel: Leek, Fennel and Potato Soup and Clementine and Fennel Salad. Both sound great!
I'm a huge fan of ginger, and I think pork with ginger is a perfect blend of tastes, so my eyes lit up when I saw the Stir-Fried Pork with Ginger dish created by Tigerfish from Teczcape – An Escape to Food. Tigerfish says everyone in the family will love this dish, and I believe it.
Kencur is a very interesting sounding Indonesian rhizome, and I hadn't heard of it before so if you know me at all, you know I was excited by this entry! Pepy from The Art And Science of Food has used it to make Kencur Sambal (and if you don't know what sambal is, this post will make that clear too!)
Kelly from Is There No Way Out of the Mind has become a fan of lavender-laced food and she's tried lots of dishes featuring this fragrant herb. From a cookbook specializing in lavender she found a recipe for Garlicky Lavender Curry Hummus, and is sending it as her first entry for Weekend Herb Blogging.
The Allium family of plants is going to be the topic of the month at One Hot Stove, and Nupur is starting the fun out with leeks. Her recipe for Spaghetti in a Creamy Leek Sauce looks delicious; I can't wait to see what is next.
Peter from Kalofagas – Pursuit of Delicious Foods says he's never met an olive he didn't like, and I'm completely with him on that. Now Peter has taken delicious olives and made them even better by turning them into Marinated Olives; can't you just imagine how delicious?
Chris from MeleCotte was trying to gear up for going back to work when she sent this post, but she must be back in the groove by now. Chris was getting food cooked in advance for her busy week coming up, and her contribution of Orange-Date Pumpkin Bread sounds perfect to eat any day of the week!
Johanna from Green Gourmet Giraffe has received some wonderful books that focus on vegetables, and she's finding some lovely stories to accompany the vegetable dishes she's creating. This week she's made a lovely looking Eastern European Potato Salad, with a bit of a story to go with every ingredient.
Purple Yam
If your clothes have shrunk a bit over the holidays, and you're looking for a remedy, Gretchen from Canela and Comino offers her version of Quinoa Tabbouleh Salad as a healthy choice that's light but delicious. Everything about this sounded good, but the fresh lime juice was what really made it sound special.
Minti from A Suitable Spice has added a new ingredient to the classic dish of gnocchi with sage and brown butter, and I think it's a brilliant addition. Check her photos and see if you don't agree that Potato Gnocchi with Sage, Preserved Lemon, and Brown Butter is just inspired.
Another great sounding pasta dish with sage comes from Pam at Sidewalk Shoes, who has temporarily abandoned cilantro and is enjoying a new flavor. I love the combination of flavors in Pam's Pasta with Pumpkin and Sage Brown Butter; sounds fantastic.
Sage was popular this week, and another person cooking with it was The Chocolate Lady from In Mol Araan. When she had lots of leftover cooked squash (what my mother would have called "a good problem to have") she made Twice Baked Squash Squash with Sage, a dish that sounds absolutely perfect to me.
Tasmanian Mountain Pepper Berry
A fascinating post from Haalo at Cook (almost) Anything At Least Once, who has introduced me to the Tasmanian Mountain Pepper Berry. This is a plant where the leaves and berries are both used for unique flavor; go read Haalo's post to learn more about this interesting plant.
While shopping at her farmers market, Anna from Anna's Cool Finds happened upon an unusual type of Asian mustard green called Tatsoi. Anna created her own dish of Tatsoi Sauteed with Mushrooms and Garlic over Homemade Zaru Tofu. If you haven't heard of this type of greens, check it out, and be sure to read how Anna makes her own tofu too.
While you're checking out the recipe for Stuffed Tomatoes with Sombreroni Hats at My French Kitchen, don't miss the beautiful artwork. You can tell that Ronell is an artist in the kitchen too, the way she took this simple but delicious dish of tomatoes stuffed with a variety of yummy flavors and dressed it up with a unique ingredient. If you don't know what Sombreroni is, you must see it for yourself.
Another blogger using tomatoes this week was Sarah from the beautifully re-designed Sarah's Cucina Bella. In Sarah's house they're working on weight loss (a popular idea!) and the recipe for Baked Tilapia with Warm Tomato Relish that Sarah made sounds wonderfully healthy and delicious as well.
Vietnamese Coriander
I was excited to see that Nora from Life's Smorgasbord was featuring Vietnamese Coriander (Daun Kesom) in her post this week because I'd tasted this interesting herb once, but never knew much about it. She's used it as part of the flavorings for Sour Spicy Fish, and there is another very interesting twist to this fish dish, so be sure to go read about it.
Wild Betel Leaf
Wandering Chopsticks has written a fascinating post this week about wild betel leaf or la lot, not to be confused with the betel leaf which is sometimes chewed, and which makes your teeth red. You must read all about how this flavorful leaf is wrapped around meat and then grilled for a dish called Vietnamese Grilled Beef with Wild Betel Leaf.
It may be winter in half the world, but Pam from The Backyard Pizzeria reminds us that the other half is enjoying summer. Pam is having that perennial zucchini problem of rapidly multiplying zucchinis, but she's managed to use a good bit of them in a very tasty sounding casserole dish called Zucchini Slice. (Pam, I have saved the recipe!)

So my grandpa died. It was 2008. He was a beautiful, special man at the end of a brutal battle with Parkinson's disease, but that's not the point—not right now, at least.
The point is that I, 22 and back home for the first time since getting a job in North Carolina, felt the need to structure part of his eulogy around the Pittsburgh Pirates.
PHOTO GALLERY: Two decades of Pirate frustration
I don't remember exactly what I said, but I wanted to get across that being a Pirate fan, as he was until the bitter end—actively following the team, and actively choosing inevitable, metronomic disappointment—earned him a badge of honor. It showed something. It meant something. It was something worth sharing.
That, in hindsight, was weird and stupid. But really, nothing was weirder or more stupid than staking any portion of your emotional well-being (and I certainly did) on that team. Until now. Five years after that eulogy, 12 years after my summer as a PNC Park employee, 15 years after I last roamed Three Rivers while my dad worked for the stadium's management company and 21 years after a slide I barely remember, the Pirates are going to finish above .500. The longest losing streak in the history of major North American sports has ended, and I can honestly say that for the majority of my life, I literally never thought it would happen.
The math that goes into a streak like that is staggering (was it even a streak? Streak seems thin. It was an era. Maybe two). Disasters of varying degrees compound each other, and embarrassing moments stack up—every failed draft pick, every ridiculous slogan, every cash dump, every, uh, sausage assault gets baked into the overall experience.
It's not possible to lose for 20 straight seasons without collecting some humiliations, and most of them, I've held on to—even in a profession that demands objectivity, whether it's truly attainable or not. The people I've worked with at Sporting News have dealt with it. Talking about the fleeting successes of the last two years inevitably leads to talking about the embarrassments, and then the embarrassments tumble out of my slot-machine mouth.
SPECTOR: How the 2013 Pirates were built
The Aramis Ramirez trade, which sent a future All-Star third basemen to a division rival to make payroll. The Pat Meares Shrine, which is too complicated to explain. Oliver Perez, the toughest lefty Barry Bonds ever faced, derailing his career by kicking a laundry cart. Chad Hermansen's "walks on water" scouting report. Chad Hermansen's strikeouts. Chad Hermansen's toupee. Jason Kendall's compound ankle fracture—I was at the park for that one. Three Rivers Stadium went silent, except for Kendall's screams. Jeff Tabaka punching Marc Wilkins. Lloyd McClendon stealing first. Mike Williams, All-Star. Al Martin, bigamist. Tike Redman, No. 3 hitter. Ron Villone, opening day starter. Bryan Bullington, No. 1 pick and "third starter." John Van Benschoten, NCAA home run leader-turned-pitcher. Center field, pre-Andrew McCutchen. Second base, pre-Neil Walker. The 2003 Rule 5 Draft. The red jerseys. Derek Bell. Raul Mondesi. Derek Bell. Jeromy Burnitz. Derek Bell. Ed Sprague. Derek Bell. The bobbleheads.
(Dear god, the bobbleheads. Part of my job at PNC was guarding giveaway items before gates opened—you know, in case anyone tried to jump the fence and steal a pallet of boxed-up, shrink-wrapped Pokey Reeses. I had to get there four hours in advance. Sometimes I got a folding chair.)
Bryan Bullington, the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2002, bounced from the Pirates to the Indians to the Blue Jays to the Royals, for whom he pitched his last game in 2010. (AP Photo)
PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE: Finally, Pirates chalk up win No. 82
I wish I could list them all. If this year ended with another collapse, I may have done it—spent October constructing a failure mosaic, or a quilt. Maybe I'd have made trading cards. Like Pokemon, except sadder! I'll trade you one Mike Kingery and one Jacob Brumfeld for a Jermaine Allensworth and a Charmander.
Yes indeed, each is uniquely horrible, and, for the most part, interchangeable, should you be in the list-making business. Except for one. Everything on that list is a signpost on the road to Ultimate Bottom—the Matt Morris trade.
Lots of people over the last few weeks have had their own version of the Pirates Memory Dump. Two standard inclusions are from 2007: drafting Daniel Moskos over Matt Wieters, and trading for a broken-down, overpriced husk once known as Matt Morris. Those two, to me, are a package deal.
See, when then-GM David Littlefield introduced Moskos, he said he projected to be "a solid reliever"—or something. I don't want to watch the video again. That'd be fine, if he weren't talking about the fourth overall pick. But he was—and the fifth overall pick was Wieters, a switch-hitting, middle-of-the-lineup catcher who was just the sort of player the Pirates always needed and never possessed. At the time, I was finishing up my junior year at the University of Maryland. Wieters wound up on the Orioles, and I wound up resenting most of my Oriole-fan friends. It sucked.
It was also, in a horrible, perverted, roundabout way, justifiable. Littlefield was an absolute nightmare of a GM, and more responsible for the streak than anybody else. He'd cobbled together garbage roster after garbage roster, stitching together on-the-way out vets with low-ceiling prospects solely to make a run at mediocrity. Whatever money he had—and it wasn't much—he wasted. We knew it then, and it's even more obvious now. But Wieters' agent was Scott Boras, and Scott Boras is Scott Boras. It was easy to imagine them taking Wieters, running into a Boras roadblock, and winding up with nothing. Plus, maybe they didn't have the money at all. Maybe. Maybe.
Matt Morris' name still boils the blood of Pirate fans. (AP Photo)
Then came the Morris trade—which proved that they did, indeed, have the cash. Littlefield just thought it wiser to spend it on Zombie Matt Morris than a potential All-Star (and Wieters has generally delivered on that potential. Not that I track his career or anything. I don't have a bulletin board filled with yarn-connected newspaper clippings. I swear).
That all went down on July 21, 2007. I was home for the summer, and I got the news while I was driving down Forbes Avenue, through Pitt's campus. I had to pull over. I knew what it meant. I'd read "Moneyball," and I'd seen what poor teams did to at least attempt to compete. This was the absolute, mathematic opposite. It was easy to attribute failure to small-market status or bad luck. But this was total lunacy. Littlefield was a crazy person, and he was running the franchise in the worst, most destructive way imaginable. It was hopeless. It transcended the concept of hopelessness, as much as sports could. And in that moment, I should've bailed.
I didn't bail. Bob Nutting, though? Bob Nutting bailed. That was Littlefield's last stand; the fans that were left were mortified by the Morris deal and what it, beyond all possibility for doubt, exposed. Nutting, by then the team's principal owner—and, to at least some degree, responsible for its failure—didn't have much of a choice.
In came Neal Huntington. Rhetorically, he won me over immediately, because he was honest. He promised suffering. The team's farm system was a sewer, and the on-field product was worse. This wasn't going to be fixed anytime soon, because doing things the right way—in baseball, particularly—takes a while, especially when you start with nothing (except for, paradoxically, McCutchen and Walker, who were the only Littlefield first-rounders to deliver. They were diamonds in a septic tank).
That's not to say Huntington (or Nutting, or president Frank Coonelly) has been perfect. There have been some major PR missteps, and the 2013 roster is really the first of Huntington's to feature meaningful major league signings. Francisco Liriano, Russell Martin—those guys remain the exception, not the rule. But there's been dedication to infrastructure, to at least attempting to amass high-end talent through the draft and the once-ignored Latin American market, and a focus on the long game, rather than a short shot to mediocrity.
Under Neal Huntington, the Pirates finally have found success. (AP Photo)
And that's part of what has made the last few months so funny. Ending the streak is beyond important. For fans, it can't be anything else—I still feel like they could go 0-for-September and leave me content. But if you're a sports executive who makes that your goal, like Littlefield did, you're cooked. You need to at least attempt greatness. And amazingly, that wasn't a given for the majority of the last 22 years. Since 2007, the effort has been there. Now, the results have caught up.
Last month, I moved back. Twelve hours after dropping off the U-Haul, I was at PNC, watching a 16-inning Sunday game from the third-base line. They lost, but it didn't matter. Things felt different. The park certainly wasn't the same. I mean, there are bandwagon fans now! Bootleg shirts for sale by the Clemente Bridge! People watching baseball without the promise of post-game Zambelli fireworks! Dogs and cats, living together! To say a season like this, not long ago, seemed impossible would be a slight to the concept of impossibility.
And now, Win 82 is on the board. It's on to whatever comes next. Baseball Prospectus had the Bucs' playoff probability at 100 percent on Wednesday morning; that seems like some sort of math error, but those guys know what they're doing, so whatever. This is where some people would say they wished it happened at home, but I honestly don't care. The fact that it happened at all is good enough for me. I do wish my grandpa was here to see it, but I can take heart in one immutable fact: If someone has to give my eulogy anytime soon, they won't feel the need to babble about the pathetic glory of Pirate fandom. Mediocrity has its benefits.

PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- Earlier this week we asked a simple question: Is it still craft beer after the brewery sells?
We figured it was a question worth asking in light of the recent sales of Goose Island to Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) and of Angel City and Coney Island Craft Lagers to Boston Beer Company's (SAM) Alchemy & Science subsidiary. After a far more recent event, maybe a new question is in order: Has the great craft selloff begun?
On Thursday, it was announced that Kansas City's Boulevard Brewing Company was sold to Belgian brewer Duvel Moortgat. Beer Marketer's Insights estimates the sale price at between $100 million and $120 million as Duvel adds to U.S. holdings that already include Cooperstown, N.Y.-based Brewery Ommegang -- which recently partnered with Time Warner's (TWX) HBO on a line of beers based on that network's series Game Of Thrones.
Make no mistake: In small brewing and in the beer world in general, this is a big deal. Before this, Duvel shipped roughly 70,000 barrels of beer a year in the U.S., with half of that coming from Ommegang. Boulevard Brewing, meanwhile, is expected to ship 190,000 barrels in the U.S. in 2013. It is the 12th largest craft brewer in the nation, according to the Brewers Association craft beer industry group, and the 19th largest brewer by volume in all of the U.S.
Since beginning operations in 1989, Boulevard has expanded distribution through 24 states and the District of Columbia. It has a huge presence in the Midwest and coverage throughout the mountain states and West Coast. It should give Duvel a broader U.S. distribution footprint and make both Boulevard and Ommegang beers far more accessible.
Beyond the business ramifications, however, is a more pressing issue staring down craft beer as its pioneers inch toward retirement age. Boulevard founder John McDonald posted an open letter on the front page of Boulevard's site explaining his decision to sell. Between accolades for Belgian brewing, a love note to his home base of Kansas City and a torch passing to Duvel was a little insight into what's driving him to part with the brewery he built.
I'm not getting any younger, and the long-term future of the brewery has weighed on my mind for the past several years. After long discussions with my family, we determined that we wanted to find a way to take Boulevard to the next level while retaining its essence, its people, its personality -- all the characteristics that make our beer and our brewery so important to Kansas City and the Midwest.
Let those first five words land for a minute. Now consider the following: Ken Grossman founded Sierra Nevada in 1979 and has guided the Chico, Calif., brewery for nearly 35 years. Larry Bell first opened Bell's as a homebrew supply shop in 1983 before starting Bell's Brewery in 1985. Kurt and Rob Widmer first opened the doors of Widmer Brothers Brewery in 1984. Jim Koch brewed his first batch of Samuel Adams Boston Lager in 1984 and founded Boston Beer Company the same year. Kim Jordan is a relative newcomer by those standards, opening New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, Colo., in 1991.

A New York Times article on Alaska's love/hate relationship with the federal government underscores why weaning the states off their addiction to federal dollars would be difficult.

Political Activities at HUD
A new Department of Housing and Urban Development's inspector general report finds that the agency initially required, and then "encouraged," recipients of HUD stimulus funds to post signs indentifying projects as being funded by the Recovery Act. In other words, HUD pushed recipients to engage in political advertising, and to do it with taxpayer funds.
"Mountain of Debt"
The White House Office of Management and Budget homepage currently features the following quote from the president:
Federal Government is Lucrative "Industry"
The Bureau of Economic Analysis latest release of industry compensation levels shows that the average federal worker ranks up at the top along with employees in the finance and energy industries.
Federal Employees Continue to Prosper
The Bureau of Economic Analysis has released its annual data on compensation levels by industry. The data show that the pay advantage enjoyed by federal civilian workers over private-sector workers continues to expand. This state of affairs is a thumb in the eye of the private sector, which continues to struggle with high unemployment. Many private sector employees have been forced to take pay and benefit cuts while continuing to fund generous federal employee compensation with their taxes.

The House is scheduled to pass another $26 billion bailout for state and local governments on Tuesday. The legislation provides another $10 billion for education and $16 billion to extend the increased share of Medicaid being paid for by the federal government since passage of the stimulus.
Convoluted Highway Funding
A common theme with federal programs that fund state and local activities is that the distribution formulas are highly complex and politically-driven. The result is that policymakers at the federal and state level are constantly jockeying for more money, while the general public remains largely ignorant as to where the money comes from and how it's spent.


text: University of Florida doctors track tumors in real time to treat metastatic cancer Published: December 17, 2012 By: Theresa Makrush University of Florida radiation oncologists are using a sophisticated medical device to treat patients who have recent diagnoses of metastatic cancer, where the disease has started to spread from one part of the body to another.The device, called Vero, delivers stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in a way that allows the physician to track and view the tumor in real time during treatment. This permits a high degree of precision in delivering targeted doses of radiation therapy, especially in areas of the body that experience motion during treatment."With Vero we can track tumors in real time, allowing precise doses of SBRT to be delivered to tumors that are moving as the patient breathes or with the patient's heart beat," said Paul Okunieff, M.D., a professor and chair of the UF department of radiation oncology and director of the UF Shands Cancer Center. "This enables us to deliver the optimum dose of radiation to the tumor, destroying it from the inside out while sparing healthy tissues surrounding it."Okunieff pioneered the use of SBRT to treat metastatic disease in its early stages, before it has spread more widely through the body. His research, published with colleagues from the University of Rochester, concludes that the chances for long-term survival improve significantly when metastatic disease in a very early state—that is, with five or fewer lesions—is treated with high dose, targeted SBRT. This aggressive approach has a track record of success, with long-term overall survival of as much as 46 percent for certain types of metastatic cancers."The ability to track tumors with Vero allows us to treat smaller target volumes, while giving us the confidence that we are not missing the tumor. We believe that patients will tolerate well the short treatment which is usually given during a five- to 10-day period," said Roi Dagan, M.D., assistant professor in the UF department of radiation oncology and radiation oncologist at the University of Florida Proton Therapy Institute. "There is great potential for Vero-delivered radiation in combination with other common metastatic treatments like chemotherapy and surgery to improve patient outcomes."The Vero technology is part of the UF Metastatic Cancer Program recently established to treat patients on the UF&Shands Jacksonville and Gainesville campuses. Rather than accepting the dogma that cancer that has spread should only be treated to alleviate symptoms, the UF Metastatic Cancer Program is taking a radically different approach—working with the patient's existing physician to catch the cancer's spread early and treating with intent to cure. The program's goal is to enroll each patient accepted into the program into clinical research studies in an effort to generate the scientific evidence of the treatment's success in changing metastatic cancer from a terminal condition to one that is manageable, if not completely curable."We know we can save peoples' lives using SBRT to destroy cancer that has limited spread, and we know advanced, modern medical imaging can help us by finding metastatic tumors very early while they're still limited in size and spread," Okunieff said. "Now, we must generate the compelling and reproducible scientific evidence necessary to convince the medical community that this is so and to change how people think about metastatic disease. It isn't always a terminal diagnosis."The program began accepting patients for treatment in October, and as many as five of those have been treated on the Vero system since the beginning of November. The device is located on the campus of Shands Jacksonville at the UF Proton Therapy Institute. This is the first Vero machine in the Southeast United States and the second in North America.UF Proton Therapy Institute is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization affiliated with the UF College of Medicine and the UF Shands Cancer Center, dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art cancer treatment and setting new standards for treating and curing the disease. The cancer treatment facility houses both conventional radiation and proton therapy, and delivers proton therapy to 100 patients a day.

Topic: Hospice Care Today
My husband, Frank, was evaluated for hospice care today. He was diagnosed in November 2013. The hospice worker thought that this would be the best option for him since he is refusing any treatment (we were told the outcome would be the same) and he has many other health issues. The goal is now to keep him comfortable so he doesn't have to leave the house. Besides the tiredness and sleeping most of the day, he seems pretty good. I was surprised at how many things are available for comfort. Sure hope this works out.

My mother took art classes at Bacone College in Muskogee Oklahoma in either the late 50's or early 60's. Her instructor was Dick West and her fellow students were Joe Rector and Gerome Tiger. These are 2 of the many pen and ink pictures I have by Dick West. They will never leave my family, but I am curious as to how much they are worth. I know these are pictures of Cheyenne warriors, that is all I know.

We asked PorkNetwork visitors to tell us how the industry can help consumers become better educated about best-management practices, and more than 280 of you voted. Seventy-eight percent of respondents thought producers should initiate a dialogue with representatives of the Humane Society of the United States to find common ground, but Wanda from Minnesota believes the poll results were weighted by members of the activist group, and I am prone to agree.
Based on my experience, many of those involved in activist groups have their positions firmly established. No matter how meaningful the discussion, nor how valid the science, nor how compelling your own first-hand involvement in the industry, nothing will change their minds. Why would it? It's contrary to their mission.
On the other hand, Matt from North Carolina writes: "I don't see why they wouldn't meet with HSUS. (It) is here and dictating all kinds changes. The two sides may disagree on everything, but you never know if you don't try."
This approach sounds good in theory, but for communication to be meaningful, both sides need to trust each other. Because of previous actions, motives and rhetoric, I don't see this happening anytime soon.
The National Pork Board has been building relationships with food suppliers and retailers to help them put issues in perspective, and this initiative is making important inroads. They recognize the value of research and are doing a better job of considering both sides of the sow-housing issue.
The industry is also doing an excellent job of reaching out directly to consumers through its advertising and marketing efforts. I especially appreciated the comments made by Kim from Ohio, who wrote, "As a consumer, I want to hear it right from the horse's mouth (meaning producers). I understand HSUS and meat producers will never be on the same ground but it is OK to disagree and offer choices to all consumers. Don't back away from your true beliefs…many non-farmers will agree with you and understand your points."
That's so true. Research has shown that when consumers have the full story on sow-housing, they understand why gestation stalls are used. That's not to say there's a "perfect" system. The industry is ever-evolving and will continue to identify new and better ways of taking care of animals. But we also recognize the value and animal-welfare benefits to the practices being used today.
Thank you for your responses, and please take part in our next poll on pork prices this year.

Someday, when time has banished Biogenesis from the newspapers to the history books, the names of Alex Rodriguez, Nelson Cruz and 10 other players suspended by Major League Baseball for their connections to a shuttered Miami drug clinic will blur together in one historical moment.
Monday, the names and the news were too fresh.
Cruz, the Texas Rangers outfielder who was suspended 50 games for violating the joint drug agreement between Major League Baseball and the MLB Players' Association, played with Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton and pitcher C.J. Wilson from 2008-11. The rest of the Rangers were sitting in the opposite clubhouse Monday
and entered a three-game series against the Angels up 10 games in the standings.
Wilson couldn't bring himself to mention Rodriguez by name at one point, but his comments about Cruz were more measured.
"I've known Nelson for years and years and always thought he was a great guy, a great teammate," Wilson said. "But at this point, he's a competitor. He's on the other team, so it's really immaterial what I think."
Cruz is leading the Rangers in home runs (27) and runs batted in (76). His suspension effectively removes him from the team for the rest of the regular season.
For Hamilton, who left the Rangers for the Angels, the memories of Cruz as a teammate remain fresh.
"I was there last year, seeing him come to spring training and what he looked like, and just asked the same questions everybody else did: 'What happened,' 'How did you get sick?' 'What was it?' those things," Hamilton said.
"There's nothing he ever said to me that made me question what he was doing."
Cruz, who was said to be en route to Texas from Anaheim, said in a statement he took a banned substance after falling ill with a gastrointestinal infection between November, 2011 and January, 2012.
"By the time I was properly diagnosed and treated, I had lost 40 pounds," the statement read. "Just weeks before I was to report to spring training in 2012, I was unsure whether I would be physically able to play. Faced with this situation, I made an error in judgment that I deeply regret ... My illness was no excuse."
Hamilton said he was surprised to learn Cruz took a banned substance.
"You know your teammates, you spend a lot of time with them," Hamilton said. "Take them for what you see. He was always a good teammate. I saw his statement today. He said he made a mistake. I made plenty of those."
Wilson didn't buy it.
"I think the issue centers around greed," he said. "If anybody says something else, they're not telling the truth."

The NYMO is a market breadth indicator that is based on the difference between the number of advancing and declining issues on the NYSE. When readings are +60/-60 markets are extended short-term. The McClellan Summation Index is a long-term version of the McClellan Oscillator. It is a market breadth indicator, and interpretation is similar to that of the McClellan Oscillator, except that it is more suited to major trends. I believe readings of +1000/-1000 reveal markets as much extended. The VIX is a widely used measure of market risk and is often referred to as the "investor fear gauge". Our own interpretation is highlighted in the chart above. The VIX measures the level of put option activity over a 30-day period. Greater buying of put options (protection) causes the index to rise.

Road trip a homecoming for Singleton
ANAHEIM -- This weekend's series against the Angels represents a homecoming of sorts for Astros rookie first baseman Jon Singleton, who graduated from Millikan High School in Long Beach, Calif., which is less than 20 miles from Angel Stadium.
"It's fantastic," said Singleton, who said he'll have anywhere from 60-70 friends and family members at Thursday's series opener, including his parents. "It's not far from home, so it's nice."
Singleton actually grew up as a fan of the Dodgers and made more trips to Dodger Stadium as a kid than he did to see the Angels. As a teenager, he began attending more games at Angel Stadium, dreaming of getting a chance to play there.
"I really don't know why I went to Dodger games more, but when I got older I realized it's a different baseball experience going to different ballparks," he said. "I enjoyed it."
As Singleton learned, there's nothing like playing in your home ballpark.
"It's surreal," he said.
Singleton, of course, has been through a lot this year, ranging from his admission in the spring he was a drug addict to signing a contract extension with the Astros and being called up to the Major Leagues in May. Astros manager Bo Porter said those coming to watch Singleton play should be proud of him.
"Jon Singleton is a prime example of a person growing and maturing, and it's great for him to be back here, not too far away from where he grew up and to have family and friends have the opportunity to see him play Major League Baseball," he said.

UNT festival celebrates Janacek, as well as international collaboration
Good fortune had a lot to do with the ambitious and groundbreaking performances planned during the International Janacek Festival and Conference in Denton.
Tom Sovik, a member of the University of North Texas music faculty, said Denton was the only spot where anyone would get a chance to hear the baroque compositions of Leos Janacek.
"In music history texts about Czech music, out of thousands and thousands of pages about it, there are three paragraphs about the baroque music. That's how little we talk about this stuff," Sovik said.
On Feb. 8, the UNT Baroque Orchestra and Collegium Singers will perform Musica Bohemia.
"Most people will have never heard the piece performed live," Sovik said. "When we were looking at these really big pieces, you couldn't perform these with just a college symphony. You'd have to rent out the specialized instruments. You'd have to bring a lot of stuff in. We're lucky in that we have all of that here at UNT."
And "all that" encompasses the early music program's Baroque Orchestra, complete with historical instruments designed and built to be played as they were in the baroque era. "All that" also includes the Collegium Singers, the university choir trained to perform baroque choral music.
And "all that" includes a partnership between UNT's College of Music and a sister program in Brno in the Czech Republic, which has ferried students and faculty back and forth between Brno and Denton since 1993.
Leos Janacek is considered one of the great Czech composers.
"On one end you have [Bedrich] Smetana, and you have [Antonin] Dvorak Almost everyone knows Dvorak — everyone has heard him. Then on the other end, you have Janacek," Sovik said.
Janacek was composing when European countries were in a resurgence of nationalism.
"At that time, the Germans wanted their music to be German, and the French wanted their music to be especially French. As much as the Germans and the French embraced their nationalistic culture, Janacek went to the extreme," Sovik said. "He was the one who collected Moravian folk songs. He preserved them and he used those folk songs in his classical compositions."
So when Denton patrons attend the concerts scheduled during the conference — which will attract academics from all over the world to UNT — they will be hearing Janacek's response to his love of country.
The conference is also the site of a United States premiere of a new orchestration of Janacek's Zapisnik zmizeleho (The Diary of One Who Disappeared). The University Singers, A Cappella Choir and UNT Opera Theatre will perform the piece — and Otce nas (The Lord's Prayer) — at 8 p.m. Saturday in Winspear Hall.
"The world premiere of the piece [Zapisnik zmizeleho] was performed at the Janacek Academy in Brno, in the Czech Republic, where Janacek spent a lot of his days. It was performed, in Czech, not by Czechs, but by students from Texas singing in Czech," Sovik said.
The conference and the performances are part of the partnership the College of Music established with the Janacek Academy in 1993. Groups of students and faculty have traveled from both Denton and Brno as the college and the conservatory exchange a deep cultural education about Czech music and its lasting impact on the world, and on Texas, which has a significant population of Czechs and Texans of Czech heritage.
"We took them to Brno and they studied the language, working really closely with native speakers and musicians, to do the world premiere justice," Sovik said. "The second half of the exchange is the U.S. premiere here in Texas."
While local classical music fans get to see rarely performed work by the celebrated composer, Sovik said the professors and graduate students will dive into Janacek's theoretical system.
The project includes Sovik; Maestro David Itkin, who conducts the UNT Symphony Orchestra; Paul Leenhouts, director of the Baroque Orchestra; Richard Sparks, the director of the Collegium Singers; and Jerry McCoy, director of the A Cappella Choir. Paula Homer, director of UNT Opera Theatre, and Stephen Dubberly, musical director of the UNT Opera Theatre, also joined the project.
Sovik said expansion is on the horizon. Dignitaries from the Janacek Academy in attendance will sign documents to continue the Denton-Brno exchange.

A's Place C John Jaso on 7-day Disabled List
OAKLAND, Calif. - The Oakland A's placed catcher John Jaso on the seven-day disabled list retroactive to Sunday with a concussion, the club announced today. His roster spot will be taken by catcher Geovany Soto, who joins the team today after being acquired from Texas yesterday for cash considerations.
Jaso was batting .264 with nine home runs and 40 RBI in 99 games with the A's. He has made 79 starts for Oakland this year, all against right-handed pitching, and is also 6 for 16 (.375) with three RBI and three walks as a pinch hitter. Jaso was batting .174 in 16 games in August after hitting .323 in July. This marks the second time he has gone on the disabled list with a concussion as he missed the final two months of the 2013 season after going on the DL July 25.
Soto began the season on the 60-day disabled list with torn lateral meniscus cartilage in his right knee. He was reinstated July 18 and went 4 for 11 (.364) in three games before returning the DL July 22 with a strained right groin. The 31-year-old right-handed hitter was reinstated Aug. 8 and is 5 for 27 (.185) with a home run and two RBI in seven games since his return. Soto is batting .237 in 10 games overall and is .248 career hitter with 92 home runs and 314 RBI in 666 games in the majors with the Cubs (2005-12) and Rangers (2012-14).

Joe Pompeo at Capital New York just posted this piece on Out magazine's decision to nix its current editorial staff. Although it sounds as if editor-in-chief Aaron Hicklin, pictured, has a plan, that can't reassure a now-unemployed group of writers and editors. The goal is to rehire some of the team back under his new startup Grant Editorial. From Capital:
He said he plans to offer long-term contracts at Grand to "most" of his 12 editorial employees at Out. Should any of them take it, he said, the gig will come with flexible hours and the opportunity to work on other projects in the Grand stable, but not salaries or benefits.
Pompeo goes on to report that Hicklin has no outside investors and revenue will be project-based. Pompeo quotes Hicklin as saying this endeavor is innovative, whereas his laid off staff with a one-month severance are likely saying a couple of other words right now.
UPDATE: This statement just came to us from Here Media's senior vice president and group publisher Joe Landry. Here Media is the sister company of Regent Entertainment Inc.that oversees Out.
"The media landscape is a rapidly evolving. I'm confident that the model we're utilizing will offer us the best opportunities to remain competitive. We continue to have complete confidence in Mr. Hicklin and his team, most of which will continue to work with him on the OUT brand as he adds new staffers to continue to grow and evolve the brand."

My experience has been that the MD1 is consistently more stable. It is also the single most OAT sensitive disc I've ever thrown in D and S-Lines. If you get a clean release it won't turn in a head wind (I've used it in 20 mph wind, don't know how much faster the gusts were but they were definitely very noticeable), the fade will just get straighter. If however you have even the slightest wobble it'll turn and burn quite quickly. The SG-Line doesn't seem to suffer from this behavior, just as stable as the S-Line on a good throw without being sensitive to OAT.
The MD2 isn't as good in wind, but it doesn't fall apart either.

TROWBRIDGE were denied a winning start to their new year league campaign by a last-minute Tom Hopkins penalty.
With the welcome return to the side of James McFarlane and Jackson Szabo, Trowbridge dominated the first quarter of the first half and took the lead with a penalty from Kyle Knight.
Sherborne responded with several strong attacks resulting in the visitors infringing twice giving fly-half Hopkins two successful kicks for a slim half-time lead.
Trowbridge started the second half strongly but were still unable to turn possession into points through poor handling and simple mistakes.
The defence held firm as the home side upped the pressure and eventually the visitors did put together good moves, resulting in a break with Szabo touching down out wide.
The visitors tried to hold on to their slender lead only to give away a penalty in the last few minutes, whcih Hopkins landed and a late Trowbridge effort sailed wide.

PHOENIX, Ariz. – Most people in the U.S. make their oatmeal with water. But everywhere else in the world, people make their oatmeal with milk.
It's an anomaly not lost on the Quaker Oats people who would like to see more people in the U.S. use milk.
"We're really trying to change consumer habits," says Christian Bryzinski, strategy senior manager at Quaker.
"Two of the biggest breakfast foods are oatmeal and milk, and the combination of those two together is a nutrient powerhouse," Bryzinski says. "You get protein from the dairy side (along with essential vitamins and minerals) and then you get the whole grains and the fiber that people really need from the oatmeal, so it's really kind of an all-in-one breakfast solution," he adds.
Recently, Quaker has introduced two innovative products that incorporate this thinking:
- A breakfast shake that is 50 percent dairy, has 10 grams of protein, 8 grams of whole grains, and 6 grams of fiber. "It's a combination of milk and oats, but you can't taste the oats," Bryzinski says. It comes in a single-serve plastic container that people can drink on-the-go.
- Warm & Crunchy, which combines the creaminess of oatmeal with the crunchiness of granola. And it can only be made with milk.
These products were on display in Phoenix, Ariz., this week at the joint annual meeting of the National Milk Producers Council and Dairy Management Inc. (DMI), which manages the national dairy checkoff program.
Products such as these are facilitated by a partnership between Quaker and DMI.

Great way to get to know Burt's or a great gift!This is a great way to sample items in the Burt's Bees line or get travel sizes of your faves. It comes with the classic peppermint lip balm, some lotion, oil, hand cream, salve and cuticle cream as well as a few of their soaps. In the years that I've bought this kit for friends, the contents tend to change slightly. Sometimes it has a toner, the soaps tend to change and sometimes it has coconu...read moret foot cream and sometimes it has orange essence facial cleanser. Still this a cost effective way to give or get some Burt's! — 8 years, 4 months agoTwoBirds | 284 reviews

good valueYou get a lot of products to try out for a really good price. This is great if you're just getting into Burt's Bees and you'd like to try a lot of products without spending a lot of money. It's also great for travel or giving as a gift. I personally love all of these products except the lip balm and have purchased a few of them after trying this. — 5 years, 1 month agomichellefuentes | 75 reviews

Left hanging a bit.I adore the entire Burt's Bees line, and am in LOVE with the toe started kit goodies. It was given to me as a gift, and I soon found out how small each product is.

My Reasons for Reporting This

New Yacht Club site plan OK'd by county officials
OCEAN PINES – Construction for the new Ocean Pines Yacht Club is expected to begin within the next two months, now that the Worcester County Planning Commission has approved the facility's site plan.
"We were able to significantly decrease the adjustment they were seeking," county Planning Director Ed Tudor said of the commission's Nov. 1 approval.
In early October, the original site plan for the new Ocean Pines Yacht Club was rejected by the commission because it failed to provide the required number of parking spaces. A few days after that meeting, Ocean Pines Association representatives met with Tudor to request an adjustment that would allow them to provide fewer spaces than what the zoning code requires.
Although county code says there must be one parking space for every 125 square feet of surface in a commercial lot, part of that code allows Tudor to make significant changes to its regulations.
Depending on the scenario, the county can reduce by 20 percent the general requirement of one parking space for every 125 square feet of the lot.
Through meetings between Tudor and OPA representatives, the number of required spaces was shrunk by exactly 10.9 percent. This was after the OPA requested a reduction of more than 20 percent, according to Tudor.
Parking spaces in the county are typically 10 feet wide by 20 feet long, but by reducing the width of several parking spaces, some by an extremely small amount, they were able to add many more spaces than what was initially incorporated in the original site plan.
"We are excited about the progress we have made and are looking forward to the construction phase of the project to begin," OPA General Manager Bob Thompson said in a press release sent Friday, the day after the site plan was approved.
Up next for the OPA in its effort to build a new Yacht Club is obtaining a building permit. While no exact timeline could be given, Thompson said the earliest the OPA would be awarded the permit is within four to six weeks.
Assuming no major delays, construction could begin within the next two months.
Harkins Builders will build the new facility, which will cost $4.3 million.
Regular customers of the existing Ocean Pines Yacht Club need not to worry, as the currently operating building will not close until the final two months of construction for the new structure.

In India, Not All Capital Inflows Are Welcome
Op-ed in the Business Standard, New Delhi
© Business Standard
Monday's policy announcements—in the form of further significant opening of the capital account—to restore investor confidence deserve a failing grade. The response of most analysts is that the policy changes will at best succeed in attracting capital and at worst will fail to do so. Wrong. The policy changes are bad on substance. They are possibly also troubling for what they signal about the independence of one of the few competent institutions left—the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). Consider each. Foreign capital has headed for the exit because of fundamental doubts about this government's fiscal and growth policies. To open the capital account in response will either be effective and dangerous today, or ineffective today and dangerous tomorrow. How so?
Suppose in the first scenario that the measures are effective in inducing capital to return soon. When there is a combination of high fiscal deficits, high inflation and decelerating growth, it is probably the worst time to open the capital account. The capital that returns is almost by definition going to be of the speculative sort, chasing high yields rather than long-term opportunities. This capital is, therefore, more susceptible to "sudden stops" and will contribute to the boom-bust cycle that has been the bane of the international economy these last few years, and to which Indian policy makers seem oblivious.
Furthermore, the exchange rate's decline is an unambiguously good development for India, and a necessary part of the adjustment towards faster growth. From now on, the exchange rate should only strengthen, and only be allowed to strengthen, in response to improvements in underlying productivity and growth, and not in response to speculative and reversible capital inflows. Put differently, having suffered the costs of a decline of the rupee to about 58 to the dollar, India should keep the rupee close to that level and leverage the benefits of a cheap exchange rate in the form of greater manufacturing exports without allowing those benefits to be undermined by speculative inflows. That has been the Chinese formula for keeping its export juggernaut going.
Suppose, in the alternative scenario, the measures are ineffective in attracting capital back because investors' concerns are elsewhere and remain unaddressed. Essentially, the bite of these measures will be felt later, when policies have improved and the economy has recovered. Then, capital will come pouring in because of better fundamentals, but the opening today will lead to more capital than India will want or be able to handle. At that stage, India will have further lost its ability to control inflows, and the problem will be that if the country then reverses course, Indian policies will be seen as retrograde and market-unfriendly. In other words, the opening today will lead to an unnecessary loss of policy options in the future.
And finally, even if the objective of attracting foreign capital were desirable, the policy measures were compositionally perverse because they failed to attract good capital and favored less good or even bad capital.
All the evidence suggests that foreign direct investment (FDI) is the best form of foreign capital because it brings in scarce technology and links to global markets. And the opportunity was there to liberalize restrictions on FDI in multi-brand retail, or better still to remedy the regulatory uncertainty that has affected foreign direct investors. That opportunity was spurned.
Instead, the two worst forms of foreign capital were liberalized: external commercial borrowings (ECBs) and flows into government securities. ECBs, because they are foreign-currency denominated debt, cause balance-sheet problems when capital exits and the currency plummets (dollar liabilities of companies and banks balloon in rupee terms). And at this juncture, attracting flows into the government securities market is perverse. Rather than putting pressure on the government to mend its profligate ways, facilitating easier government debt financing feeds its populist addiction. In sum, the manner in which the government is opening up to foreign capital is egregiously sinful in omission and commission.
Turn next to the independence of the RBI. For some time now, India has been witnessing the unfortunate spectacle of very senior government officials expressing opinions on monetary policies in advance of key RBI meetings. The magnitude of the interest rate cut in April as well as the advance verbal emanations from Delhi smacked of government pressure on the RBI, provoking the question whether this government believed in the independence of the RBI. Or whether it considered that that invaluable social capital could be sacrificed at the altar of short-term political expediency.
It was, therefore, heartening that earlier this month the RBI did not reduce interest rates. Most analysts applauded that decision on the merits. But that decision was also a welcome sign, actually a relief, that the RBI had maintained its independence in the face of severe political pressures. Not just the Indian economy but the Indian policymaking apparatus as a whole was better off as a result.
But Monday's policy announcements once again muddy the waters. Outsiders will never know whether the decision to further open the capital account was taken by the RBI because the government prevailed upon it or because the central bank genuinely believed in it. The latter is possible but two factors hint at government influence. First, the timing suspiciously coincided with the departure of the finance minister and his desire to make a dramatic exit. Second, it seems unlikely that the RBI, which has repeatedly criticized the government for adding to inflationary pressures through reckless fiscal policy, would have deviated from that view by allowing easier foreign financing of government deficits.
It is tragic that a whole range of policies that need to be changed are ignored and the few that are sensible are changed. It is tragically ironic that this government has not grasped that India is not savings constrained, that the accumulating international evidence suggests that all forms of foreign capital are not worthy of equal embrace, and that some are particularly unworthy of embrace at this juncture. One risk is this government's inability to meet even the minimal Hippocratic objective of doing no harm to the economy or, perhaps even more consequentially, to India's institutions.

This review is from Framed View Binders 68056:
The plastic is a very nice feature. The area that bends doesn't hold up as long as I hope as it will rip. They get a lot of use, though not rough usage.
This review is from Framed View Binders 68060:
These are the only binders I purchase for my children and myself. These are very durable and make my life so much easier!
This review is from Framed View Binders 68056:
Quality Binders! I haven't found any binders that can stand up to the quality of the Avery Framed Binders. Sheets stay firmly in place and don't tear or crease when you slide them in to the pocket. Also, the color selections are great.
This review is from Framed View Binders 68054:
I've used Avery View binders for years to file all of the paperwork for my children's school work, report cards, notes, medical info, etc. I especially like the D rings which helps to keep an overstuffed binder closed. The see thru cover is great for creating a front and side panel with the year and other information. They are easy to use and very durable.

Saunders to resume rehab after birth of son
SEATTLE -- Manager Lloyd McClendon said Wednesday that Michael Saunders' wife has given birth to their second child, a baby boy, and the Mariners right fielder will now resume his Minor League rehab stint with Triple-A Tacoma.
Saunders, 27, has been on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique muscle in his left side since July 11. He's hit .353 in five games with Tacoma, but now will need some more playing time with the Rainiers before being ready to rejoin the Mariners.
"He's not going to come right here, no," McClendon said. "He's got to go get some at-bats. Michael and I have had that conversation. He texted me the other day and said, 'I'm ready.' I said, 'Good, keep playing.'"
McClendon said the hope is that Saunders can rejoin Tacoma on Thursday in New Orleans, though that wasn't a definite yet.
Saunders has hit .276 with six home runs and 28 RBIs in 65 games for Seattle this season, with two stints now on the DL with a right shoulder injury and now the oblique strain. In five games with Tacoma on this rehab stint, he's gone 6-for-17 with a double, three runs, two RBIs and seven walks.
