Researchers have identified the cause of a Kansas farmer's mysterious death this summer as Bourbon virus.
Thought to be transmitted by ticks, the virus "was fast-moving and severe, causing lung and kidney failure, and shock," The New York Times reported, killing the previously healthy man after only 10 days in the hospital.
Together, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and University of Kansas Hospital researchers identified the virus as a thogotovirus, part of a larger type of viruses called orthomyxoviruses, Dana Hawkinson, M.D., an infectious disease specialist at The University of Kansas Hospital said in the video statement above.
Bourbon virus, named after Bourbon County, Kansas, where the only known patient lived, is similar to viruses seen previously in Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia, said Hawkinson, but nothing like it had ever been identified in the Western Hemisphere before.

What's Cooking With Kim O'Donnel
Tuesday, April 22, 2008; 12:00 PM
Calling all foodies! Join us Tuesdays at noon for What's Cooking, our live online culinary hour with Kim O'Donnel.
A graduate of the Institute of Culinary Education (formerly known as Peter Kump's New York Cooking School), Kim spends much of her time in front of the stove or with her nose in a cookbook.
For daily dispatches from Kim's kitchen, check out her blog, A Mighty Appetite. You may catch up on previous transcripts with the What's Cooking
Kim O'Donnel: Howdy, folks, and Happy Earth Day. As I mentioned in today's blog space, I'm curious: Just how green are you? Take the How Green Is Thee poll and share your thoughts on how easy (or not) it is to be green. Tomorrow, look for a whole blogfest on stretching your food budget, with thrifty coverage from the Food section as well. I'm putting finishing touches on my piece this afternoon, but if you've got a thrifty cooking or food shopping tip setting your world on fire, please send it along to email@example.com with subject line: "Getting Thrifty." IN your note, please include your city and state, and size of household. And now, let's get cookin'...
Silver Spring, Md.: Hi, Kim. I'd love to hear if anyone has ideas about composting, especially keeping rats away from the compost pile. Our pile seems to attract them.
On another note, with some trepidation, I made the Matzoh Lasagna recipe you posted on your blog for Passover, and everyone loved it! Thanks so much.
Kim O'Donnel: Let's ask readers with compost experience (For the past 15 years, I've lived where this is not an option, sadly). Glad to hear your folks enjoyed the matzoh lasagna, thanks for checking in.
Portland, Ore.: Hi Kim,
In an effort to save money and also make sure I eat breakfast every morning, I've started preparing sandwiches on the weekend. I individually freeze them and re-heat during the week. This week's batch is egg, Tillamook cheddar and Canadian bacon on an English muffin.
I think egg and spinach may be next, but would love to hear other ideas, especially if it involves other types of bread.
Kim O'Donnel: I wonder if you'd enjoy making hand-held spinach pies. These are wonderful make-ahead meals, easily warmed and portable, too. Let's hear from the rest of ye...
Washington, D.C.: Hi Kim, I'm craving bok choy stir fried in canola oil with a sauce made of sherry, soy sauce and a little sugar. However, I need to lay off the hard liquor during my pregnancy...any suggestions of nonalcoholic sherry substitutes?
Kim O'Donnel: It won't be the same, but you could try equal amounts of apple juice. Have you ever used Shaoxing, a kind of Chinese rice wine? This is a cooking wine, not for drinking, just a thought.
Friendship Heights: Hi Kim,
Never been a big fan of breakfast, so the more I can make it taste like lunch or diner, the happier I am. I've also found that I need protein in the morning--just carbs makes me hungry by 9 AM.
Variation on the breakfast sandwich theme(obvious) is taking low calorie tortillas (110 calorie types),salsa, egg, low fat cheese, and, if you want, cooked meat like Canadian bacon. I also do this with leftover grilled chicken, etc. Almost anything I can make with a tortilla is something portable I can heat up for breakfast.
Kim O'Donnel: thanks for the friendly advice, Friendship...
Brightwood, D.C.: Does anyone have a great egg-less cake recipe? I'm looking for one so that I can make a birthday cake for a friend - her little boy has an egg allergy and this way he could share in her cake. I tried one with condensed milk over the weekend that worked ok - but was wondering if there was an easy substitute for an egg to some of my tried and true really good recipes. Thanks!
Kim O'Donnel: Just paged through "Baking With Agave Nectar" and author Ania Catalano has a few egg-free cakes, including a Peach Melba Cake, a Gingerbread Cake and Strawberry Shortcakes. Send me an email and let me know if you'd like me to send you details. Haven't tested any of these, so you'd be on your own.
Watercress: Hi Kim, I received a big bunch of watercress from a friend. We've eaten it in salads and sauteed it with spinach. Any other ideas for ways to enjoy this green that tastes like spring?
Kim O'Donnel: I'm a big fan of the cress. Have you tried it in an omelette yet? That's good eating. I'm also partial to a little smoked fish with my cress...
Arlington, Va.: Where do I get the recipe for those flourless cookies in your blog. I have a friend who is very ill and is on a no-fat, low-fat diet. I would like to make some of these to cheer him up.
Kim O'Donnel: I don't know if I'd call these cookies low-fat --- after all, they've got a few cups of nuts -- but they contain the good, unsaturated fats and walnuts contain Omega-3s to boot. But...but...they would surely make your friend very happy. These are delicious treats.
Eggless cake: What about all those diet/low-fat concoctions where you use a cake mix and applesauce or canned pumpkin puree as a sub for egg? of course you'd have to check the mix for egg ingredients, but I've pulled off a few that were ostensibly vegan. Or if the objective is to make a cake from scratch, couldn't the same strategy work?
Kim O'Donnel: Actually applesauce and pumpkin puree usually are the subs for oil or butter. Silken tofu is a great egg replacer.
Chicago, Ill.: I'm an athlete training for an endurance event -- and also someone who observes Passover quite strictly. I'm already feeling funky from the sudden decrease in complex carbs -- veggies and fruit just aren't cutting it! Any suggestions for kosher-for-Passover high carb meals?
Kim O'Donnel: You know quinoa is considered Kosher for Passover -- have you explored quinoa pasta? This is loaded with protein. What about a roasted sweet potato?
Shaw, D.C.: Hey Kim --
I went on a chickpea cooking frenzy this weekend. Made the garbanzos from dried beans from Whole Foods, about 3 cups. I soaked them all day on Saturday with a teaspoon of baking soda in the liquid (an idea from Paula Wolfert's Slow Meditterranean Kitchen). Then I cooked them in my crockpot for about eight hours on low in a combo of water and homemade chicken stock. What a delicious scent to wake up to! After cooking for eight hours, the beans were slightly overdone but still whole. I'm thinking 6 hours next time. I finished them off as a Morroccan carrot stew and made a Moroccan chicken dish with preserved lemons and green olives. A side of couscous and we feasted like we were in the Casbah! Can't wait to make more beans from scratch in the slow cooker!
Kim O'Donnel: Congratulations, dear! Don't you love when cooking projects give you a whole new lease on life? Kind of like moving around the furniture. Well done.
Bok Choy: I would suggest good quality chicken broth instead of the sherry. Particularly if you have some home made, but a good can works in a pinch. And add a little chopped ginger, it will work wonders. Apple juice sounds interesting but a bit too sweet for my tastes.
Kim O'Donnel: Thanks for chiming in. I know, apple juice would probably be too sweet for me as well.
Breakfast in Seattle: One of my favorite make-ahead breakfasts (when it's not Passover) is savory muffins. There was a recipe a few years back in eating well and essentially it involves making a whole wheat buttermilk muffin dough without sugar and adding cheese, scallions, red pepper, and canadian bacon (or not). Scrumptious, easy to freeze and pop in the microwave in the morning, and healthy.
Kim O'Donnel: Thanks Seattle!
Central Mass - To Brightwood: Brightwood, there's a great chocolate cake recipe in either the Fanny Farmer cookbook or the Fanny Farmer Baking Book (forget which one) which is eggless. It's quite good -- doesn't bill itself as eggless, but happens to be eggless and as a bonus is very easy to make. In fact, I made it in the food processor the last time and it worked perfectly. It uses oil and buttermilk, as I recall. It can be a little difficult to cut, as it is very moist, though... I usually up the ante by frosting it with Sour Cream Ganache from Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cake Bible -- an easy frosting on an easy cake...
Kim O'Donnel: Thank you Central Mass. I love when things are just good without saying so. Nice going.
Alexandria, Va.: Hi Kim, I'm excited to try the chickpea recipe you posted last week. If I wanted to add chicken, how would I do it? Cook before and add later? Cook in with chickpeas?
Thanks for your help!
Kim O'Donnel: I would cook chicken separately, methinks, and add at the end. But I would try the chickpeas by their lonesome first. You may discover you don't need any chicken at all. You can always cook up some chick the next day and add it then. Cheers.
For the soon-to-be-mom: A neat idea that I got from America's Test Kitchen. Take the alcohol (sherry in this case), put it in a stainless or cast iron pan, and ignite it. Wait until the flames burn out and that means the alcohol has been consumed. Then pour into your stir fry. You'll have the flavor without the alcohol. Otherwise, go to the store and look for your favorite alcohol-free wines and substitute one of them. Remember the note that the wine should be something that you would drink. If you wouldn't drink it, don't cook with it because you'll taste what you didn't like in the wine in your food.
Kim O'Donnel: thanks for your tidbits. Not all of the alcohol would burn off, but it's an interesting idea to consider. Cooking with alcohol is very much a personal decision, so if you want to completely abstain, I say go with the chicken stock or juice idea instead.
Green in Cleveland Park, Washington, D.C.: Hi, Kim,
Here's a green and budget-minded query: I've always reused the plastic bags from the grocery/supermarket to throw trash down the chute in the condos/apt buildings where I've lived, and also to bag coffee grounds and other organic matter that otherwise would force me to run the garbage disposal -- Life in an apartment without a balcony does not allow for composting. Since the bags were free with the groceries, I've never had to buy them.
So how am I helping the environment or my wallet if now I'm obliged to buy new (or recycled) plastic bags because supermarkets stop giving out free ones? Or are apartment buildings now supposed to open huge compost rooms where all residents take their organic leftovers?
Kim O'Donnel: It's a really good question that you ask. How can urban apartment dwellers get in on the green equation? Have you considered a re-useable grocery bag, by chance?
Keeping Produce fresh: Hi Kim -- just a quick comment on being thrify -- I've recently purchased the 'Green Bags' that you see infocommercials for and they work really well. (I have no relation to the company, just a very satisfied customer). Because it's just two of us in the house, produce was thrown out quite a bit before we'd get the chance to use all of it. The green bags work great for veggies (haven't tried fruits). I highly recommend them for saving food and money for people who don't normally eat produce quick enough.
Kim O'Donnel: Tell me more about these bags. I've been curious. How well do they wash?
Bethesda, Md.: Kim,
Thanks for doing these chats. I really like the eco-bites you've been doing lately in your blog. It certainly gets you thinking about what your footprint is. Lately I've been noticing how much plastic is used in packaging and storing our food. For example the nature's promise eggs at giant are packaged in quite a bit of plastic.
My sweetie and I have tried to cut back on using sandwich bags and plastic wraps at home, but it is frustrating that even though we're trying to cut back on our own use, half of the stuff we buy at the grocery store is covered in plastic, that as far as I can tell we can't recycle.
Do you know if there is any sort of movement getting behind how supermarkets are packaging our food?
Kim O'Donnel: I too have been spending more time thinking about the way our food is packaged. One way to cut through this is to shop more frequently at your nearest farm market. Most farmers will take your empty egg cartons, too.
I have yet to hear about a packaging revolution, but it's an interesting idea. Buying in bulk would cut down on packaging, too.
egg-less cake recipes: There's an egg-free cake recipe at Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network
Allrecipes also has some, just remember you can't substitute mayonnaise for eggs.
Kim O'Donnel: Eggless ideas are rolling in...
Another eggless idea: I've heard that 2 T of mashed potato is a good egg substitute. Also, Moosewood cookbook has a wonderful mexican chocolate cake that doesn't call for eggs. I've made it for years (it also doesn't call for dairy).
Kim O'Donnel: And more...
Eggless Cake: One boxed CHOCOLATE cake mix
1 can of packed pumpkin (14 oz)
Mix the two together. it's REALLY thick when you're mixing it - like spackle-thick. Bake like the box says (350 for how-ever minutes).
My kids LOVE this cake, and I've taken it to several church functions and it's always a hit. Easy...too!
Kim O'Donnel: And yet another...
Almost Seattle -- Re: Eggless cake: I have used this recipe, for my mother-in-law's birthday (she does not eat egg). She loved it.
It is a bit on the moist side.
Kim O'Donnel: that's four! thanks all.
Arlington, VA Re: Composting: We also compost and would love to hear others' experiences.
So far, we avoid putting anything that smells great (i.e. no whole fruits) into the bin and have not seen rats. Also, we have squirrels and I think they get there first for the most edible stuff. I think you need to graduate to an enclosed box to avoid rats, but given the expense and being renters who may move to somewhere with no outside space, haven't done that yet. Wish more apartments offered communal composting!
Kim O'Donnel: thanks, Arlington. As a fellow Arlington, I'm surprised that there isn't that much talk countywide about composting. Have you noticed a dent in your weekly trash?
Reston, Va.: Hi Kim,
Now that the weather is warming up nicely I crave for something citrusy. Do you have any lemon cupcake recipes? Thanks!
Kim O'Donnel: Check out this link to a recipe for lemon cupcakes with buttermilk choc icing from Nick Malgieri and David Joachim. I made these last year after the Va Tech shootings and shared them with friends.
Adams Morgan, Washington, D.C.: For the poster looking for an egg-less cake recipe, I've got a great vegan chocolate cake for you.
We've got a little guy in our family with an egg allergy and this recipe is our go-to for all family gatherings. It's so moist and fluffy that I use it for groups even without allergy issues. The recipe calls for:
2 1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp white vinegar
Preheat oven 350. Grease cake pans (I think this should fill two standard cake rounds. It also makes 16-18 good-sized cupcakes.)
Put together dry ingredients. Stir in water, vanilla, oil, and vinegar. Mix until combined.
The batter will smell sort of strange because of the vinegar, which reacts with the baking soda to give the cake its lift.
Bake 30 minutes or until knife comes out dry.
It's so great that you're making it possible for the kid to be included! Best of luck. . .
Kim O'Donnel: Thanks Adams, much appreciated! I also did a vegan choc cupcake in a recent blog post as well...
Re compost piles: Rats will be attracted to a compost pile if there are any animal products in there -- be especially careful to avoid putting in any meat, fish, seafood, etc. You should only be putting in things that grow in the ground at some point (coffee grounds and the filter are okay, vegetable peelings obviously, etc.). We've had no vermin in our urban-ish open compost pile over the past 4 years.
Kim O'Donnel: Right. That is a most excellent point worth repeating over and again...
Apartment Composting: I know this doesn't help most of the readers, but it is at least food for thought. Here in Seattle we are allowed to put non-meat/cheese food waste in a yard waste bin. It all gets picked up by the city utility, brought to a composting facility, and re-sold throughout the region as garden compost. I live in a condo building where we don't have any actual yard waste, but we do have a bin and can compost the food waste. I've been amazed at how much it has cut down on our trash, by more than half! It's a great program and other cities should consider it. In the meanwhile, if you want to get hard core, there are always worm bins that you can keep in your kitchen.
Kim O'Donnel: Ah Seattle...
Apt dweller trying to be green: I have the same problem as the other person living in an apartment in the city! I use my plastic grocery bags in place of trash bags. I use cloth grocery bags unless I'm in need of trash bags -- then I get the plastic ones with my groceries. But I feel conflicted too. Is thre anything else I can do? I wish there was some way to compost as much of my garbage is fruit/veg peels, cores, etc.
Kim O'Donnel: Sounds like we need to start a composting revolution!
20008: So I trekked out to the Takoma Park farmers market this weekend despite the rain because I was so excited about the prospects -- but what a disappointment. Pretty much there were salad greens and persian cucumbers. I got some "young garlic" that looks like green onions and I'm hoping is ramps, so I can try your pesto. And I got some sorrel. Any ideas what to do with the sorrel? And how come there wasn't more variety? I thought this was one of the better farmer's markets, and I was hoping for some peas or asparagus. Thanks Kim!
Kim O'Donnel: Hey there, it's still WAY EARLY in the growing season, so hang tight. I saw local asparagus for the first time last weekend, but I also saw green garlic, kale, lots of lettuces, rhubarb, all kind of herbs, leeks. The season is young, my dear. Before you know, there will be strawberries and peas, trust me.
Rosslyn, Va.: You mentioned in one of your posts flourless chocolate cookies -- where can I find that recipe? Thanks!
Kim O'Donnel: The link was posted earlier in the hour, scroll a little bit up on this page. Cheers.
Food Packaging: Hi Kim,
I've heard that some corn-based materials are being used for food packaging, in lieu of styrofoam. They're biodegradeable, but usually are wrapped in plastic to keep the produce in the container. I think that this packaging is still in the experimental-phase as I have not seen it at our grocery store yet.
Also, what are the green bags that a previous poster was chatting about? I had the impression that it was a different kind of bag, one to lengthen the counter-life of produce rather than to replace the plastic bags at grocery stores.
FWIW, I have some of the nylon and polyester bags from reusablebags.com and they wash and wear very nicely!
Kim O'Donnel: The issue with some of the corn-based materials will be for folks living with a corn allergy. Could be a nightmare. Has anyone heard about this? In hindsight, maybe I misunderstood what the earlier poster mentioned about produce bags. I'm looking for re-useable produce bags that people like.
Apartment composting: This may or may not be practical depending on space, but a lidded plastic trashcan with a bunch of (inch or so) holes poked in it is a cheap and enclosed compost bin. Seems to keep out the rats in my hood.
Kim O'Donnel: Thank you kindly!
Chicago, Ill.: Kim,
I live in a condo with limited outdoor space where composting would be difficult, but not impossible. However, I have never even considered it, because I don't have a garden other than a few pots of herbs and tomatoes and therefore have no use for the compost. I put my food waste down the garbage disposal. Does this make me a bad person? I do lots of other things to stay green.
Kim O'Donnel: It doesn't make you a bad person, of course not. I think the key here is to do what you can and do it consistently. Maybe the composting project would be more feasible if some of your neighbors collaborated? Something to think about -- and maybe this is a question to ask your local horticulture group. What to do with compost you really don't have use for? Can anyone come and collect it? Great question.
Kim O'Donnel: Time's up. Thanks for stopping by! See you over at the blog: A Mighty Appetite. Bye!

How, and Why, to Recruit Male Nurses
Male nurses face lots of scrutiny about their career choice. To retain this growing segment of the workforce, challenge your assumptions about male nurses and make sure you're sending the right message.
For years, human resources departments have openly discussed the discrimination and judgment women often face when they step into a traditionally male role, like hospital finance or the C-suite. But what happens when a man takes on a traditionally female role?
That's a reality faced by male nurses—or, as they're colloquially called, murses—on a daily basis.
Licensing Logjam For California Nurses
While most people have grown comfortable with women climbing the corporate ladder, healthcare still has a long way to go when it comes to accepting men who choose a role that is associated with women.
"If you ask kids to draw a nurse, they'll draw a picture of a woman in a skirt with a cap," says Bill Lecher, RN, MS, MBA, NE-BC, president of the American Assembly for Men in Nursing and senior clinical director at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.
But in a medical system where cultural competency and diversity are becoming important elements of improved patient outcomes, this has to change. Here are four steps toward creating an environment where nurses of all ethnicities and both genders can flourish.

In the spring of 2009 I started work on inventing a toy that would one day become a line of beautiful pony dolls called Pony Royale. I would love to say that every step of the way was as delightful and charming as the illustrations I did for the project, but the truth is it entailed a lot of hard work, rejection, and reinvention. Here is the story of a team of creative professionals who worked together to bring an idea from drawings to reality.
The Project Begins
Like so many of my creative projects, Pony Royale started with a phone call. Nancy Zwiers and I met at Mattel, she worked in marketing and I in Barbie design. After leaving Mattel Nancy started her own marketing firm called Funosophy while I headed out on my own to work as an independent designer. We continued to work together off and on, and I always enjoyed her projects, so when she asked me to work on a new toy invention I didn't think twice. I was excited to jump into creating a new line of dolls with her.
Illustrating the Ponies
The first month or so was nothing but fun. I researched horses and drew foals and ponies, met with Nancy and Kim Ferguson, another marketing professional collaborating on the project, and developed the aesthetic direction for the line. I created some simple features like easy pop in and out fashion accessories for the doll. Old-fashioned carousel horses as well as historical paintings of royal horses inspired my designs, and sometime in the summer of 2009 I painted these six ponies. They showed the overall look and feel of the line. We felt we had a real winner.
The Pony Steps Out of the Paintings
As pretty as the drawings were, something was missing, and without it we weren't ready to show the invention to potential buyers. We needed an actual little pony doll. For this Nancy brought board on the talented sculptor Margi Wray, who took my drawings, improved upon them, and made the prettiest little pony we had ever seen.
Then, Mitzi McCarthy, a specialist in the world of play sets, joined the team to help flesh out the pony's fantasy world. She created the wonderfully whimsical Dressing Carousel. She also designed, drew and built miniature stables and palaces for the ponies. With the help of Margi and Mitzi's dedication and vision my pony drawings came to life.
I should mention at this point that although Funosophy reimbursed us for our expenses, none of the team members were paid for their time. This includes me. Regardless we were dedicated to our collaboration. We felt we had a really special concept. It was unique, fresh, and fun. We just needed to convince a toy company to believe in our vision. So far, however, even though we met with many companies who liked the dolls and thought they were beautiful, and that the market was ripe for a combination of pony, princess and fashion, none of them jumped at the chance to buy the concept.
A World of Creative Play
Months went by. Nancy, Kim, Margi, Mitzi and I came up with idea after idea, built sets and display boards, painted and dressed ponies, and filmed videos showing off all the different things the dolls could do. Inventing a toy is fun, but it is also a lot of work. We challenged ourselves and each other to come up with and build the best concepts possible. Our marketing gurus wrote the story of the princess ponies and compiled data into huge decks of product information. Margi Wray got out her sewing machine and sewed hair into pieces of plastic to create interchangeable manes and tails.
At this point Pony Royale was much more than just a group of dress-up pony dolls. They were now an open-ended play system, promoting creativity and delivering on girls' favorite play patterns – fashion play, hair play and nurturing. The story invited girls into a delightful imaginary realm where they were princesses taking care of their royal ponies. The interchangeable manes and tails became Change-It-Up Hair!™ and my early experiments with pop in and out accessories became the easy to dress Mix-It-Up Fashions!™ Nancy placed the dolls in a study and found that girls had a lot of fun playing with the dolls. Pony Royale was a fresh new empowering way to play out princess fantasies.
Even though I was very proud of the delightful line of dolls I helped create, after almost two years of work I was seriously running out of steam. Towards the end of my time on the project Judy Mullins and her team at BK Creative started work on the ponies, injecting some much-needed, fresh, energy into our little collective. They designed packaging and a new logo. I'm happy to say that their work did not stop there. The talented team at BK Creative developed the final line of dolls.
A Happy Ending
This wouldn't be a modern princess story without a happy ending! After all the effort and love poured into these toys it would have been a sad indeed if they had never become a reality, but Razor purchased the concept from our team of inventors and in 2012 Pony Royale hit the shelves. You can buy the dolls online at Toys R US, Target and Amazon and learn more about our princesses at Pony Royale World. Best yet the dolls have received rave reviews from girls and their mothers. It makes me so happy to know that something I helped create has brought hours of fun and creativity to girls everywhere.

In the past I have criticized the CNBC tagline, "Live From The Most Powerful City In the World, New York." I find it arrogant and devoid of any perspective. What makes a city powerful? In some sense I suppose it's the ability to make and shape events around the globe. Wall Street may be a powerful money center but so is London and from a political and monetary sense Beijing has catapulted itself a spot among the most influential. Friday morning I did an interview with Gordon Long of the Financial Repression Authority, a must visit site for its archive of discussions on global macro issues. We were discussing the role of China in affecting U.S. monetary policy. Gordon Long has discussed the idea of an agreement reached in February at the G-20 meeting in Shanghai about an ACCORD to keep the U.S. dollar stable to weak in an effort to prevent the Chinese from actively pursuing a weaker YUAN for when the DOLLAR RALLIES THE YUAN IS ALSO PUSHED HIGHER AGAINST A BASKET OF DEVELOPED MARKET CURRENCIES AND CERTAINLY AGAINST OTHER EMERGING MARKET FX.

Notes From Underground: An Open Letter To the Davos Ruling ElitesFebruary 4, 2015
We are in a period of great political uncertainty. The Greek election is a wake-up call for all the established elites and their sycophants who drink high-priced alcohol to celebrate every new IPO and record high made in global equity indices. The recent victory of Syriza is a call to arms by citizens that have grown tired of broken promises and inept leadership. Fringe parties achieving electoral success in a very short period of time is a critical sign of electorates moving away from the establishment as record-high unemployment has continued for several years and the continued pain of austerity has rendered the European middle class a group without hope. The leaders of Syriza have promised the Greek people that they would throw off the burden of massive debt payments while being enslaved to a policy of FISCAL CONTRACTION.

This weekend was one of those rare blocks of 48-hours that were entirely mine—all mine, mine, mine! With R working Saturday and Sunday, plus a nasty weather forecast, I gave myself permission to spend my weekend doting (almost) completely on myself.
On Saturday I cleaned the apartment, organized the fridge in anticipation of a huge grocery shop that I got to lovingly arrange the way I like (those first two might not seem very "dote-y", but I can't relax until everything is pretty and clean!), talked to my needy plants and fed them and arranged two huge new bouquets of fresh flowers (pink, lilac and white tulips in the living room and huge branches of stargazer lilies in our bedroom).
Then I spent a few hours of grumble-grumble-translating-grumble-grumble, followed by another few hours starting a new knitting project. This is my first "big" one (meaning, not a baby gift, winter accessory or home good), one that I had to measure myself for and poke at a calculator to figure out dimensions and gauge in order to not completely screw it up. I'm also finally starting to use the fancy yarn I bought back in March, but was too scared to use until now.
And that was basically the extent of Saturday.
Sunday I decided to completely give myself over to even more gluttony since I considered Saturday afternoon's annoying translating work to have infringed on my weekend of decadence, so I rolled out of bed and shuffled to the kitchen to concoct a ridiculous stack of almond flour + cacao pancakes, layered with alternating (so ridiculous) schmears of almond butter and cashew butter, with chunks of banana nestled in, too. A nice mug of coffee + cream completed the picture.
|{ Almond flour, cashew butter, choco-banana pancakes + mug o'coffee | May 2013 }
Then, there was some reading of blogs, a little working out, talking with the family and more knitting (please note: the soundtrack to this entire weekend was nonstop episodes of an array of shows on Netflix + 1 movie). I also decided to make a nice dinner for R, which involved prepping a cute little chicken in the morning (I read that if you're roasting a chicken, you can get super crispy skin by salting the birdie and letting it rest uncovered in the fridge for as long as possible, up to 24 hours).
So I did that and set a proper table—baptizing the neutral-toned cotton napkins I knit for us after envying the fresh, nautical ones I made for my friend's birthday—and marinated some tomatoes and red onion for a burrata salad over mache.
When R came home I helped him out of his wet shoes and coat (totally unnecessary, but I figured he needed some decadence, too), shooed him into the candle-lit bathroom for a shower and then welcomed him to the couch for a cocktail (I had his whisky glass waiting) and chat before we sat down to dinner, and later, a movie.
Most definitely a delicious weekend—in every sense of the word.

Shocking statistic of Man City 'keeper's wages shows just how out of touch football is with the real world
€4.78m to sit on a seat for four years doesn't sound like the worst way to make a living, does it?
Maybe ask Richard Wright if he enjoyed it, because that is what the goalkeeper earned during his spell at Manchester City, that ended today, which saw him bank almost €5m despite never playing a single game for the mega-rich club.
Richard Wright made £4m at Man City in 4 years. No appearances. Played three football matches this decade, lost all three. #stealingaliving— Tim Spiers (@tim_spiers_Star) July 1, 2016
You heard that correctly - Wright took home that huge pay packet despite never seeing a minute of competitive action for the club between 2012 and this year.
The 38-year old has only played three games across the last seven seasons, having made his name with Ipswich as a youngster before playing one season at Arsenal, picking up a Premier League medal in 2002.
He moved to Everton thereafter, where he was a regular for a season. Since then, he has been in one of sport's most lucrative positions - the back-up goalkeeper.
Rarely called upon, but vital nonetheless, Wright has continuously earned a living in football despite playing more than seven league games in a season just three times in the last 13 years.
Needless to say, the reaction to Wright's stunning earnings from the Man City bench lead to some shocked reactions online.

How Fun is it to Eat in the State of Iowa? [PHOTOS]
I'm not pleased with our ranking, to be honest.
The website Thrillist recently ranked all 50 states based on how fun they are to get fat in, and Iowa did not do as well as I had hoped. Basically, the list is a look at which states have some of the best unhealthy foods in the country, but it's also based on other factors, like the weather and culture.
The first place spot went to our neighbors to the north, Wisconsin, but I think they probably deserve it. I mean, I'm pretty sure the entire state is built on a giant wheel of cheese, and I can't argue with that. Only two other Midwest states made the top 10, with Illinois coming in 6th, and my home state of Michigan coming in 10th. Iowa wasn't even CLOSE, coming in at #35. Here's what Thrillist had to say about us:
"There's definitely something soul-satisfying about a hubcap-sized slab of fried pork tenderloin spilling over a comically inadequately sized bun. (What gives guys? Bigger buns! There are good carbs to be added in there.) Look, when you're the biggest pork-producing state in the nation and no one else is even close, you're gonna know your way around fatness. La Quercia makes possibly the best prosciutto and other Italian pork treats you'll find outside Italy. Buy yourself a pack. Eat it all. No one will notice!"
Excuse me, but 35? Have you NEVER heard of the Iowa State Fair?! I'm pretty positive I gained 10 pounds at last year's event, and I had a VERY fun time doing it!
Among the funnel cakes and elephant ears (pictured above), there are a hundred other bacon-wrapped, deep-fried, sugar-coated food options for you to try. Plus, you can literally buy cookies by the BUCKET. I mean, come ON. Just look at some of these photos I found on Instagram!
Red velvet funnel cake at Iowa State Fair with cream cheese frosting and powdered sugar: was it 4,000 calories? Maybe. Was it amazing. Yes. #iowastatefair #iowa #desmoines #desmoineseats #funnelcake #redvelvet #redvelvetfunnelcake #statefaireats #veghead #vegfoodie #foodporn #dessertporn #supportlocal #eatlocal #dateswithplates

My daughter bought a new house with a niche in the kitchen that needed a cabinet. So she asked for a cabinet that could also be used for wine storage, so this is what I came up with. The case is plywood and the face frame is leftover red oak from a previous project. The door panels are oak plywood and the top is beech butcher block from Ikea (side note if you are looking for an inexpensive work bench top this wood be great). Only thing missing are the trim boards that I haven't installed yet.

Thank you. I never actually met her, but they're a lovely family and have been so incredibly brave and supportive of each other throughout all this. I'm so sad that they're now going to have to carry on without her. As he said, "Nobody told me my daughter was a homesick angel."

Book One in the Edgars Family Romantic Suspense Novels
A Man in Desperate Need
FBI Agent Jake Carlisle is in deep trouble. While undercover he's been shot, but he's not sure if it's the crooks or local cops behind it. Worse, if he can't get help fast, two lives will be lost - his and that of the young witness, a boy whom he's sworn to protect. On the run from both the police and the Russian Mafia, Jake will do anything to save the child at his side, even something illegal. In desperation he kidnaps a nurse from a hospital parking lot.
A Woman at the Edge of Despair
ER nurse Samantha Edgars has been living in an emotional vacuum since the death of her daughter. Abandoned by her husband not long afterward, she struggles just to get through each day, but now all she wants is for the pain to stop and to finally be at peace with her child. Mentally and physically exhausted following a difficult shift, she walks through the hospital's dark parking lot lost in her own thoughts. Suddenly she's jolted from her stupor when she's bound, gagged, and tossed into the back of her car.
Danger on Their Heels
When they arrive at her home, she's terrified and forced to tend to a bleeding FBI agent and his injured witness. But Samantha quickly learns the rogue agent and orphaned boy need more than just her professional skills. With a menace bearing down on them, she must learn to trust Jake - and her heart - if they're all going to survive.

"In most of the cases of acid attack, it was found that the victim was known to the accused. In 90 per cent cases the accused were either jilted lover or were in one-sided affair. Most of the incidents occurred when the victim was away from home," the official added. At least nine of these cases were reported in the month of June.
"All the complainants preferred to call on the 181 helpline number before calling the police," the official added.
He further said that all the genuine cases were forwarded to the concerned police station and the Delhi Commission for Women was also informed about some incidents.
"In January, the helpline received a total of 58,239 calls. The total number of calls in February was 32,045, in March 34,609 and in April 49,579. The calls received on the helpline rose to 50,346 in May and then further up to 67,318 calls in the month of June," the official added.
Around 30-40 per cent of the total calls received were complaints of stalking.
The 181 Women in Distress helpline was set on December 31, 2012, on the directions of chief minister Sheila Dikshit following the December 16 gangrape case.

text: Why is the MS Office student/teacher edition so much cheaper than regular office? It says you have to be a student or teacher but how can they check? Is there something you have to do in the registration process to prove you're a student or teacher or does this particular version of office not offer a lot of features? Going to buy a laptop and I can upgrade to Office Basic for $99 but student/teacher edition is only $125 and I don't know if I have the $99 extra bucks right now. Thanks. Brian

Binge drinking among teens has always been an issue, but unfortunately alcohol use is becoming more prevalent at younger and younger ages. While many parents (including me) discussed the use of alcohol with their teenagers during their high school years, a recent clinical report by the American Academy of Pediatrics published in the journal Pediatrics states that "by the eighth grade a quarter of those surveyed had consumed alcohol".
The report found that children start to "think positively about alcohol between 9 and 13 years of age". With this finding it is incumbent upon parents and pediatricians to start the discussion about alcohol use at even earlier ages. Personally, I think that one of the reasons we need to discuss alcohol use with younger children, may be due to the fact that alcohol use and availability has become more and more prevalent across our society. Many young children's birthday parties in my area include alcohol for the adults. Some play groups now have "mommy juice" in coolers at the park as well as apple juice for the toddlers. Parents are drinking on the sidelines of the soccer and baseball game. Grocery stores and pharmacies all carry beer and wine which makes it easy to pick up a bottle of wine while you wait for your child's prescription. Recently, more and more college sporting events are allowing alcohol sales in their stadiums, field houses and coliseums.
The statistics reveal that alcohol is the substance most frequently abused by children and adolescents in the U.S. In 2014, "half of twelfth graders and one in nine eight graders reported having been drunk at least once in their life". We also know that among our youth, the proportion who drink heavily is higher than among adults who drink.
Because teens typically weigh less than adults, binge drinking is teens is defined differently than for adults. For girls ages 9-7, three or more drinks in a two hour period is considered binge drinking and for boys ages 9-13 the cutoff is three or more drinks, for boys 14-15 it's four or more drinks, and for boys 16-17, its five or more drinks.
It is also not difficult to understand the correlation between binge drinking and risk taking behaviors among teens. Binge drinking has been associated with earlier sexual activity and teen pregnancy, fatal car accidents and even alcohol poisoning and death. Not only does alcohol affect choices while imbibing, but it "may interfere with important aspects of brain development that can lead to cognitive impairment, brain injury and substance use disorders later in life".
Lastly, not surprisingly, teens look to their parents on their decision to drink or not. Modeling behavior could not be more important, as one teen once told me when discussing her use of alcohol, "why don't you talk to my mom about coming home drunk every night, then I will talk to you".
Researchers at Brigham Young University have found that teenagers who grow up with parents who are either too strict or too indulgent tend to binge drink more than their peers. A new study suggests that your child could become a binge drinker depending on your parenting style. For teenagers, friends play a big role in the decision to take that first drink. And by the 12th grade, more than 65 percent of teens have at least experimented with alcohol. But what parents do during the high school years can also influence whether teens go on to binge drink or abuse alcohol. Researchers at Brigham Young University have found that teenagers who grow up with parents who are either too strict or too indulgent tend to binge drink more than their peers. "While parents didn't have much of an effect on whether their teens tried alcohol, they can have a significant impact on the more dangerous type of drinking," says Stephen Bahr, a professor of sociology at BYU, and the author of the study that was published in the Journal of Studies on Alcohol and Drugs. As part of the survey of 5,000 teenagers, Bahr and his colleagues asked 7th- to 12th-grade students a series of questions about their alcohol use. "We asked how many had taken five or more drinks in a row in the past two weeks," says Bahr. That's the typical definition of binge drinking. They also asked the kids about their parents: What kinds of rules did they have? Did their parents know where they were on weekends? Did their parents check up on their whereabouts and set curfews? How much oversight and monitoring was typical? The teens who were being raised by so-called indulgent parents who tend to give their children lots of praise and warmth — but offer little in the way of consequences or monitoring of bad behavior — were among the biggest abusers of alcohol. "They were about three times more likely to participate in heavy drinking," says Bahr. The same was true for kids whose parents were so strict that no decision was left to the teenager's own judgment. "Kids in that environment tend not to internalize the values and understand why they shouldn't drink," says Bahr. They were more than twice as likely to binge drink. Striking The Right Balance The parenting style that led to the lowest levels of problem drinking borrowed something from each of the extremes. From the strict parents: accountability and consequences for bad behavior. From the indulgent parents: warmth and support Bahr says these parents tend to be more balanced. "They recognize their kids when they do good things and praise them, but they offer direction and correction when they get off a little bit," he says. Lots of factors contribute to teenagers' experimentation with alcohol and drugs. Genes play a significant role, as do peer relationships. And the teenage years can be adversarial. "Parents get really frustrated with teenagers," says Aimee Stern, who has written "Delaying That First Drink: A Parents' Guide." "I have two of them — and you can't tell them anything they don't already know." That's why it's important to start talking to kids about alcohol when they're young — as early as fourth grade, recommends Stern. Her free book, published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science, is intended as a teaching tool for parents and contains plenty of evidence-based information on drinking and addiction. It explains the science of alcohol, both in terms of what it does to the body and the developing brain. The guide can be used as a companion to a series of Science Inside Alcohol lessons developed by AAAS or as a stand-alone tool that parents can use in talking with their children. More information about Aimee Stern's free book "Delaying That First Drink: A Parent's Guide" is at http://www.aaas.org/news/releases/2010/0927alcohol_book.shtml.
With proms and graduations underway, the energy of the celebratory season is upon us. At the same time come concerns for celebrations that include alcohol and under-age drinking. It is such an exciting time of year for adolescents and young adults (what is the right term for those under 21, they are still our children), but parties are frequent and safety is paramount.
The National Traffic Safety Administration warns that the number of adolescents killed in drunken driving accidents is greater during prom and graduation season that any other time of year. Statistics show that more than one-third of youth traffic fatalities under the age of 21 occur during the months of April, May and June. This is the best time to sit down with your child and discuss the risks of under age drinking, including drinking and driving, the risk of binge drinking and alcohol poisoning, and even sexual experimentation which often follows alcohol consumption. All of these issues are a reality and although our children may not want to discuss it, these are issues that they are confronted with.
Making good choices and being responsible continues on prom night and graduation. It is still important for parents to know who their child is with, where they are going, who is hosting the party, and who will be driving. A limousine takes driving out of the mix, but at the same time is often associated with alcohol and partying while riding to the prom or graduation party. Talk to other parents about the ground rules and expectations, as most parents have the same concerns.
Make sure that everyone is on the same page about checking in, curfew and that there will always be adult supervision, especially for after parties. Allowing teens to drink because you the parents take their keys away at the after party, sends the wrong message, and is also illegal. The bottom line is that safety is of the utmost importance. Give your son or daughter the option of calling you at any time for a ride home, no questions asked, if they find themselves in an uncomfortable or dangerous situation. Having fun and being safe, that makes for the best prom or graduation possible.
That's your daily dose, we'll chat again soon.
Binge drinking and alcohol use among teens continues to rise. A college freshman as already died from alcohol poisoning What parents and teens need to know. Colleges are gearing up for finals, high school prom and graduation season is underway and the incidences of binge drinking continues to climb. Why put these topics in the same sentence?
Underage and excessive drinking by high school and college students has been recognized as a problem for a long time, but recent studies only confirm that binge drinking continues to rise. One report from a 2002 task force on drinking stated "abusive drinking by college students is widespread, dangerous and disruptive." Drinking excessively is associated with date rape, unintentional sex (is that an oxymoron), violence and poor academic performance. What is binge drinking? By definition it is drinking "five or more drinks in a row for men, and four or more drinks in a row for women." But this definition does not take into account length of time in which the alcohol is consumed or a person's body weight. A better definition now defines binge drinking as "a pattern of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 percent or above." This typically occurs within a two hour window of excessive drinking. Underage drinkers typically tend to drink on fewer occasions than their older peers but have more alcohol related problems than students of legal drinking age. Sadly, more than 1,700 college students age 18-24 die each year from unintentional alcohol related injuries and more than 5,000 underage youth die from alcohol misuse. Another alarming statistic is that an underage youth dies in an alcohol related incident every two hours! So with these sobering statistics at hand , it is incumbent that parents begin educating their children, even at early ages, about alcohol use and misuse. Our children need to know that alcohol is a legal psychoactive drug that changes brain chemistry and may have long term effects on the still maturing teenage brain. Alcohol effects both the pre-frontal cortex (the brain's chief decision maker) and the limbic system. MRI studies on youth from 14-21 years of age who are frequent (that is scary) alcohol drinkers show definitive changes in both of these areas. Due to the fact that a teen's brain is still developing, it is surmised that there might be permanent physiologic and psychological damage to an adolescent brain from early alcohol abuse. There are ongoing studies looking at whether this damage is reversible. Teens also need to know that while alcohol is a "drug" it too may cause over-dosage and death similar to other drugs. Many teens do not realize that you can die from binge drinking. No, not in a car accident or from falling out of a window, but due to the central nervous system depression from high blood alcohol levels, that then "turn off " vital areas in the brain resulting in coma and death. Talk to your teens about the signs of "alcohol over-dosage", which may include vomiting, cold and clammy skin, shallow breathing and unresponsiveness. Letting a friend "sleep it off" after a night of heavy drinking is never the right idea. A good resource for parents to help educate their teens and college students about binge drinking is www.gordie.org. They have recently released an app The Gordie Check that reviews the signs of alcohol poisoning, stores emergency contacts and can help locate nearby medical facilities or call 911. Pass this on to your college students (and high school students for that matter). Lastly, as binge drinking continues to rise among high school and college students, and more youth are reporting drinking in their early teens, it is incumbent that parents discuss their views on underage drinking and also model the behavior they want to see in their children. In other words, teach your children about responsible drinking when they become of age. When talking to my teenage patients about alcohol they often comment to me " Dr. Sue why don't you talk to my parents about coming home drunk" and then they can talk to me! Truer words could not be spoken. That's your daily dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow. Send your question or comment to Dr. Sue!
New energy drink Four Loko contains alcohol and is inadvertently being sold to teens many of who are overdosing and being sent to the emergency room. I just received information about a new "energy drink" that's creating quite a stir for many parents and pediatricians. "Four Loko" is actually an alcoholic beverage and is causing alcohol overdoses in teens who are consuming it in different areas of the country.
This beverage is packaged and appears to look like any other energy drink that many kids buy, but the difference is that it contains alcohol. Four Loko is sold in a can and looks similar to your child's favorite iced tea can or other fruit juice. This appearance is one of the reasons it is inadvertently being sold to minors who are extremely savvy and are looking for a quick intoxication. Look at a picture of the beverage on-line and you will see why it is easy to confuse.
So, if teens buy a can of Four Loko, it is the equivalent of drinking 3 beers and contains the same amount of caffeine in one cup of coffee!!! This sounds disgusting to me, but it's the "perfect buzz" for adolescents. The problem with this concoction is that while teenagers are consuming a can or two of Four Loko, the caffeine actually delays the effect of the alcohol. Once the caffeine wears off, the effects of 3-6 beers kicks in and the effects of the alcohol may cause alcohol related issues and emergencies. Several hospitals on the east coast have seen emergency room admissions among teens who have consumed Four Loko, and are alerting other physicians to be aware of cases of alcohol intoxication. I am sure that there are other areas who are seeing teens and underage young adults who may have purchased Four Loko as store clerks accidently sell this alcoholic drink to minors. No need for a fake ID here. Talk to your teens about this drink and the hazards of drinking and in this case combining caffeine and alcohol. It seems that the inventive company behind Four Loko has packaged the "perfect" drink for this age group as teens had previously had to combine their own alcohol (name your favorite) with Red Bull to allow them to drink more and have the caffeine to keep them awake. This is not a good combination, but seems to be the perfect "energy drunk drink" for teens. That's your daiy dose for today. We'll chat again tomorrow. Send your question or comment to Dr. Sue!
As a parent of college-aged children one of the biggest concerns of the fall is also binge drinking.College football is in the air and with the season comes the ritual of pre-game tailgates and post-game celebrations. As a parent of college-aged children one of the biggest concerns of the fall is also binge drinking. Watching televised football games this season only reinforced concerns as every other ad seemed to be alcohol related and really geared to the humor of an adolescent, they were definitely not targeting a middle aged woman.
Alcohol is the number one health risk facing college students and according to a study by Harvard School of Public Health about 44 percent of college students binge drink. Than means that they drink more than five drinks in a row for a man and four drinks for a woman in the past two weeks. Many college students do this three to four nights a week and don't perceive this as a problem. Thursday is the new Friday and for many Wednesday is the new Thursday. If you have a college student, I know you have talked to them about alcohol and binge drinking, but it may be the time of year to re-visit that discussion. Winning a big game is a cause for celebration, but not necessarily for binge drinking. That's your daily dose, we'll chat tomorrow.

LAKE WALES, Fla. (WFLA) – A fast-food manager is behind bars facing burglary charges after she teamed up with a former co-worker to take over $4,000 from her employer.
The incident occurred early Sunday morning at the Burger King location on State Road 60 East in Lake Wales. According to a Lake Wales Police Department report officers were dispatched to the establishment just after 6 am in response to a burglary call.
Sometime between 2 am and 5:55 am someone removed $4,599.31 from the restaurant's safe. During their investigation detectives determined that the night manager Rochelle Vann left the business after closing but failed to set the business' alarms.
The report states she returned less than an hour later with a former employee, 28-year-old Jennifer McDonald. Police say Vann, 21, gave McDonald her store key to gain access to the restaurant and the safe.
McDonald used spray paint to keep a surveillance camera in the manager's office from recording the crime. She also broke the locking system in the office in an attempt to confuse investigators.
Sunday morning LWPD officers located Vann as she was leaving her apartment. They conducted a traffic stop and the suspect was packed up as if she was leaving town.
Detectives confiscated $2,200 in cash from Vann's vehicle; currency they were able to determine came from Burger King.
Sunday afternoon McDonald was located and questioned. She admitted to police that she entered the eatery with Vann's assistance. She took the cash from the safe, exited the store and split the proceeds with Vann.
McDonald claims the burglary was Vann's idea. Investigators recovered $3,900 of the stolen money. Both suspects are in the Polk County Jail facing burglary and grand theft charges.
If you have any information about this case, please contact Detective Aubrey Davis at 863-678-4223, extension 276 or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Heartland Crime Stoppers at 800-226-TIPS (8477).

Herbs in Texas
Sage, thyme, and basil all do well in Texas. Don't over-water the sage and thyme. They need good drainage or they die. I'm not sure you could kill the basil if you tried. It grows in almost any soil, just more vigorously in better ones.
Cilantro does well, but you must plant it early. It will bolt when the temperatures get into the eighties. I grow this one starting in October and then throw seeds down again in January. It will produce as long as May some years, but is often bolted and dying in April.
Oregano—completely invasive in the hill country. Did okay in Houston—died back in the winter-time, but I was growing it under my chile plant where it was partially shaded. There was also a rock border to keep it from expanding. In the hill country, the stuff was as invasive as mint, possibly worse because it required less water to keep it going. I would pot this one if I were ever able to get control of it again…Mint does well, but requires a lot of water. I actually grow it mostly in the shade and don't water it much. That keeps it from creeping very far.
