Gluten free comfort food. It means something different to each of us.
Wait a sec. Are you thinking that a gluten free diva never needs comfort food? Pshaw. Trust me, I have my diva moments of feeling down in the dump of dumps. Ooh, that was a whole lot of unplanned alliteration.
Such a day happened to me on Thursday. Normally, I would've made homemade chicken soup, freshly baked bread, chocolate chip cookies, or mac & cheeze, all gluten free, of course. And not all at the same time:). But this time, I made bread pudding, a whole other level of gluten free comfort food.
In my book, bread pudding is more decadent than the usual comfort fare. And it requires a little more effort to make it, but because my need for comfort food extended over two days, I had time to plan. You see, the bread has to be just on the near side of stale. I like my bread pudding on the dry side. If you prefer a moister bread pudding, simply add more milk to the liquid mixture in the recipe.
Simple bread pudding would have been perfect, but then at some point in the comfort food planning, I decided to up the ante and create a fancier version of my bread pudding. Pull out the Grand Marnier. Slice up the figs. Chill the coconut milk. Oh yeah. This is gonna be good. This is gonna do what comfort food is supposed to do. And it did. In spades.When I gently and gingerly dug my spoon into my first bowl of Gluten Free Fig & Coconut Bread Pudding, my bowl of warmed deliciousness, the clouds began to lift, the sun began to shine, and a choir of angels could be faintly heard singing "With A Little Help From My Friends" (can you name the Beatles album it comes from?). And if that weren't enough, lucky duckies that we are, after we helped ourselves to a few hefty helpings, there was still enough left for breakfast this morning.
My bread of choice for this gluten free bread pudding recipe came from a loaf of Breads From Anna gluten free, corn free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, and rice free bread mix. If you've been with me for awhile, you know how I feel about Anna's bread. It rocks my gluten free diva world. But feel free to use another type of gluten free bread. In fact, I think you could even use pumpkin bread (Anna's gluten free pumpkin mix is excellent), though I'd decrease the sugar and/or stevia in my recipe, since pumpkin bread has a fair amount of sweetener in it to begin with. Oh man, but talk about decadent!
Fig & Coconut Bread Pudding
6 dried figs, sliced very thin
1/4 c. Grand Marnier
5 c. gluten free bread, cubed (see beginning of instructions below for prepping the bread)
2 14 oz. cans light coconut milk (one can room temperature, 2nd can chilled overnight)
14 oz. almond milk
2 large eggs, beaten
1/3 c. coconut sugar
5 drops NuNaturals stevia
1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cardamon
zest from one orange
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of sea salt
2 tbsp coconut oil (or Earth Balance), melted
1/4 c. confectionary sugar
5 drops NuNaturals stevia
1 tsp vanilla extract
hot water
To prep and dry bread in advance: Leave a loaf of gluten free bread overnight on your counter, uncovered. In morning, cube bread and place ona large baking tray. Bake in preheated 350Ëš oven 10 – 15 minutes (bake for a shorter amount of time if you want bread less dry). Use leftover cubes to make croutons.
To make bread pudding:
Preheat oven to 350Ëš. Set aside two pans – one 9 x 11 pan for bread pudding, and one larger pan for bain marie (water bath).
Put sliced figs and Grand Marnier in a small, shallow bowl, mixing to coat figs with orange-flavored liquor. Set aside.
Put cubed, dried bread in a medium-sized bowl. Combine room temperature can of coconut milk with almond milk and then add to bread cubes, coating thoroughly. Set aside. Cubes will soak up the milk while you prepare egg mixture.
In another medium-sized bowl, beat eggs, coconut sugar, 5 drops of stevia, ginger,
cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamon, orange zest, vanilla extract, and sea salt, blending to combine thoroughly.
Pour this mixture into the bread mixture, followed by fig mixture, including Grand Marnier used to soak the figs. Using a large spoon, mix everything together.
Melt 2 tbsp of coconut oil and add to smaller prepared pan, making sure to coat bottom and sides of pan. Pour bread/egg mixture into pan and place into larger roasting pan. Pour hot water into larger roasting pan, about 1/3 of the way up pan in which you've put uncooked bread pudding. Avoid pouring water into pudding. Place nested pans into preheated oven. Bake 40 – 50 minutes, or until egg mixture has set. If you prefer your bread pudding less dry and more like soft pudding, cook for a shorter duration.
For Coconut Whipped Cream:
Remove the chilled can of light coconut milk from refrigerator. Open can and immediately pour thinner liquid into a cup, setting aside for another use. Remove remaining thicker cream left behind in can and put in a small mixing bowl (if your can of coconut milk is ALL thick cream, all the better!). Add confectionary sugar, stevia, and vanilla. Beat on high for five minutes. Put it in refrigerator for 30 minutes and then beat again on high for another five minutes. This will allow you to achieve the consistency of smooth, dairy-free whipped cream. Adjust sweetener per your taste.
Serve your Fig & Coconut Bread Pudding warmed, with a dollop of whipped cream on the top. Oh, and by the way, unused bread cubes can be made into croutons (should I dedicate a post to making gluten free croutons?? Let me know if you're interested).
Smile. Life ain't so bad. As for me, remembering to count my blessings helped me out of the funk. I have way more than any diva could hope for.

Resettled African refugee women may experience particularly acute complications during pregnancy, birth, and the child's early infancy. Yet health care-providers and policymakers may not be aware of the particular challenges that these women and their children face. This report, examining women giving birth in Utah over a seven-year period, compares perinatal complications of the African born and a segment of the U.S. born.
Refugee children are vulnerable to health and nutrition risks that can have long-term consequences for their development and well-being. This report examines the prevalence of malnutrition—from stunting and wasting to overweight and obesity—among refugee children from birth to age 10, using data from an overseas medical screening exam before they were resettled in Washington State between 2012 and 2014.
Somali and Bhutanese refugees are two of the largest groups recently resettled in the United States and Canada. This report examines factors that might promote or undermine the mental health and overall well-being of children of these refugees, with regard to factors such as past exposure to trauma, parental mental health, educational attainment, social support, and discrimination.
In this webinar, the authors of three papers on the experiences of refugee children present their findings, with a focus on how such experiences affect their mental health and education.
The authors of three MPI papers present their findings on the experiences of refugee children, including Syrian childen in first-asylum countries and Somali Bantu refugees resettled in the United States, and the impacts on their mental health and education.
Approximately 40 percent of the 4 million-plus Syrians who have fled the country are under age 12, most encountering disruptions and barriers to their education in countries of first asylum. This report examines the experiences of Syrian refugee children, their educational and mental health needs,and possible responses that governments should consider in resettling this vulnerable population.
Whether driven by pragmatism, local laws, or federal civil-rights provisions, state and local governments and agencies across the United States increasingly have designed and implemented language access services (i.e. translation and interpretation) in response to growing Limited English Proficient populations. This commentary argues it is time for the federal government to follow suit.
On this webinar, researchers explore the types of discrimination that young children of immigrants may experience, the related educational, psychological, and social impacts, and recommendations for addressing discrimination.
Rising immigration enforcement in the U.S. interior over the past decade increased the chances that the estimated 5.3 million children living with unauthorized immigrant parents, the vast majority of them born in the United States, could experience the deportation of a parent. This report reviews the evidence on the impacts on children, finding significant and long-lasting harm can occur at emotional, economic, developmental, and academic levels.
This Urban Institute-MPI report offers findings from fieldwork in study sites in California, Florida, Illinois, South Carolina, and Texas, examining the involvement of families with a deported parent with health and social service systems, and barriers to access. The report finds that economic hardship is highly prevalent following detention and deportation of a parent, while child welfare system involvement is rarer.
This report examines the experiences of Latino families in the United States with discrimination. The cumulative effects of hostile interactions with social institutions and community members place Latino children and families at increased risk for a range of negative outcomes, including emotional stress, limited financial opportunities, and increased social isolation.
This report examines the effects of personal discrimination as experienced by the children of immigrants, particularly in school settings. Research clearly and consistently shows that the majority of of children of immigrants perceive discrimination, which can have broad psychological, physical, academic, and social consequences for immigrant children.
A discussion with the Director of The White House Domestic Policy Council on the content of the new National Integration Plan delivered to the President by the recently created White House Task Force on New Americans, along with the plan for implementation.
A webinar examining the shifting pattern of Central American child and family migration between 2011 and 2014 and expectations for 2015, the policy challenges presented by the rising inflow, and how states, localities, the U.S. government, and other countries in the region are responding to this recent trend.
This awards ceremony honored the 2013 winners of the E Pluribus Unum Prizes, which provides $50,000 prizes to exceptional U.S. immigrant integration initiatives. The awardees took part in a panel discussion with White House and state officials, followed by remarks from Congressman Luis Gutierrez and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar.
This report summarizes new data on the health of the children of immigrants, who represent nearly one-fourth of all children in the United States under the age of 18, finding that those with Mexican immigrant parents in particular tend to experience greater childhood health risks than most of their peers.
Low-income immigrant children are less likely than their U.S.-born citizen counterparts to see a doctor even when they are insured. Similarly, immigrant adults are less likely to use emergency rooms than low-income natives. This report examines health care coverage and usage among immigrants and the U.S. born.
This report focuses on the development of children of Black immigrants in the United States, comparing against the outcomes for their peers in native-born and other immigrant families. It also compares these U.S. children to those in the United Kingdom, where there is a large Black immigrant population but a notably different policy context of reception.

Brewers' Path to the Postseason: Sept. 24, 2012
Brewers' Path to the Postseason: Sept. 24, 2012
The Cardinals won their game against the Cubs, 6-3. As the Brewers have won eight of their last 10 to creep further back into contention, the Cardinals have gone 7-3 in that span. Making it even more difficult on the Brewers is that while they travel to Cincinnati for a three-game set with the NL Central winners, the Cardinals have three games against the Astros.
"We're in that situation where every game is intense, every play is intense," Brewers first baseman Corey Hart said. "You never know how many chances we're going to get, so every chance is big for us. We've been playing like that for the past month, and that's why we are the way we are."
Marco Estrada will be on the hill Monday with the Brewers looking to take three of four from the NL East-leading Nationals.
Monday's key games to watch (all times ET)
Brewers (Estrada, 4-6) at Nationals (Zimmermann, 11-8), 1:05 p.m. Preview >
Cardinals (Lynn, 16-7) at Astros (Abad, 0-5), 8:05 p.m. Preview >
If the postseason started today ...
This is how the teams would match up: Postseason Bracket »
Postseason 101
Magic numbers
To calculate a team's magic number, take the number of games it has remaining and add one. Then subtract the difference in the number of losses between that team and its closest pursuer.
Tiebreaker scenarios
A tiebreaker game will be played to determine a division winner, even if the tied clubs are assured of participating in the postseason. If a division championship tiebreaker is necessary, the head-to-head record between the clubs will determine home-field advantage. If the head-to-head record is tied, then the division record will be the next tiebreaker.
If two clubs are tied for the two Wild Card berths, home-field advantage will be determined by the head-to-head record between the clubs. If the head-to-head record is tied, then the division record will be the next tiebreaker.
2012 postseason schedule
Wild Card playoff games: Oct. 5
Division Series: Oct. 6-12
AL Championship Series: Oct. 13-21
NL Championship Series: Oct. 14-22
World Series: Oct. 24-Nov. 1

Slowly but surely Cat trucks are starting to make inroads into the Australian market.
Launched here late last year, they are the result of a joint venture known as NC2, formed in 2009 between earth-moving equipment giant Caterpillar and US truck maker Navistar.
Australia was the first country to offer Cat-branded trucks and they were made on a specially constructed assembly line at Caterpillar's Melbourne facility last year.
Aside from the two local Cat trucks - the CT610 and CT630 - a larger US-built truck, the CT660, is about to go on sale in North America.
While the company will not release exact production numbers for Australia, it is widely believed that about 540 trucks were built last year in order to avoid compliance with new emissions rules that came into effect on January 1 this year. No one from Caterpillar has denied this figure.
As of the end of last month, official statistics show that 50 Cat trucks have been registered in 2011. At that rate, it will be quite a while before the remaining stock of trucks find owners - but finding them they are.
A family-run haulage business in Western Australia was so impressed with its first Cat truck, a CT610, they took delivery of the more powerful CT630 barely five months later.
Ashley and Minnie Hall operate Clackline Haulage and admit they were drawn to the Cat trucks because of their experience with Cat truck engines. The couple operates seven prime movers in varying specifications and have been Cat engine users since 2003.
Clackline Haulage uses the 470hp (350kW) CT610 for runs between Perth and Northam and is using the more powerful 550hp (410kW) CT630 in B-double specification for longer runs from Perth to Kalgoorlie and into South Australia.
While there seems to be a great deal of apprehension on the part of the truck-buying public, there is - on paper, at least - no real reason why the take-up rate for Cat trucks isn't greater.
For starters, they have a proven engine-and-drivetrain combination and the rig (cab and chassis) itself is a product of a long-established and reputable North American truck manufacturer. If it wasn't for the ''CAT'' badging, this truck would be a Navistar in anyone's book.
The reluctance from truck buyers seems to centre on the low profile of the brand in the market and the perception that you don't go to an earth-moving equipment dealer to buy a prime mover.
But it would seem that once a truck operator takes the plunge and buys a Cat truck, it is content with the decision.
Clackline Haulage driver Barry Braithway says some of the other drivers don't believe him when he tells them his CT610 has only 470hp. Braithway says the CT610 is also the most comfortable truck he has driven.
While it remains largely a mystery as to where the other 48 trucks have ended up, a Queensland-based transport company stuck its hand up to buy a CT610.
The Brims Group, a company with diversified transport interests, took delivery of a single Cat truck earlier this year to try.
''We'll know in 12 to 18 months how good this truck will be,'' says the director of the Brims Group, Wayne Brims. The company was attracted to the CT610 because of its light tare weight.
Brims is able to carry a 57-tonne gross combined mass on the combination's 16.5-tonne tare weight - delivering a payload in excess of 40 tonnes under performance based standard (PBS) rules.
As with the Halls, Brims also cited previous experiences with Cat engines as a motivating factor to add a Cat truck to the company's 50-plus fleet.

Celebrated fashion designer and writer, Padma Shri Wendell Rodricks is bowled over as he analyses Saif Ali Khan's effortless style… Exclusively for Cine Blitz.
All 11,532 fans (as of going to print) believe that Saif Ali Khan is worthy of a Facebook page dedicated to the sartorial style of the Nawab of Pataudi. When I first realised that there was a FB page Saif Ali Khan - The Style Icon, I marvelled in disbelief. Especially since the great SRK has a fan page called Style and Romance = Shah Rukh Khan. But Saif is Saifely ahead of the curve as his followers are triple that of the legend.
We should not be surprised, frankly. Forget style stakes at the moment. Look at the lineage. Royalty on one side and Rabindranath Tagore, no less, on the other! And now Hindi cinema lineage to Prithviraj Kapoor via the lovely Kareena Kapoor. Uff! Too much style quotient to handle. But hold it. There is also Brit boarding school background, regal sleek looks and acting talent that got him Padma Shri status in 2010. How delicious did the Saifeena duo look at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. He, in pristine white. She, matching the medal's ribbon, in white sari with red accents. Classier act is ekdum difficult to follow.
Top of the list is a word many people don't, or never, get. It's called "effortless". From footwear that ranges from sneakers and serpent-skin to flip flops and formal lace ups, it all seems to be effortlessly put together. With astonishing results.
Who would think a blue kurta and white churidaar would be teamed with a mustard gold sleeveless Bandgala and black shoes? Or a striped Tee and jeans with an Aussie style alligator boot? Well, there he is...looking dapper and smiling back at us. And teaching even a seasoned designer like me a thing or two.
There is no doubt that despite the blue blood, blue jeans and T-shirt are a favourite. What the Nawab carries off in casual, he scores in formals as well. The sharpest tux that may well be Tom Ford or that amazing regal Indian wear ensemble that makes a perfect bridal portrait with Kareena... It all shows that clothes don't maketh this man. It's him that makes the clothes.
There are also the details. Eyewear that does not falter in all looks, that sleek hair that is 1930s slicked back glamour. Above all...the proportions. This gent knows the exact length to cut a kurta, how a dark cocoa shirt can make a pale camel colour lengthen the leg, the keep-the-focus-on-the-face white collars, the tan belt on jeans to accentuate a taut lower waist.... Too many lessons to be learnt here.
And then there is again that effortlessness that creeps in everywhere. With or without a bow tie, the open collar with a suit works. The red silk pochette in a stark all black suit. The scowl or smile, friendly or aloof. It all seems natural. People who know Saif personally will tell you that he has a wicked sense of humour. This smiling, sunny, naughty side is totally at odds with his electrifying performance as Langda Tyagi in OMKARA. A sign of a true star actor. Someone who is able to put on style-perfect looks with performance-perfect film roles with controlled ease.
But there is one thing this Style Icon has that cannot be acquired. It belongs to him alone and we are happy for that. It's a very beautiful, radiant person called Kareena Kapoor who is his most stylish companion and loving acquisition!
Here's to the Nawab of Pataudi, Style Icon indeed... carrying a regal past forward with splendid élan. Cheers to that! With Crystal or Krugg bubbles. Nothing else will do!

Have you checked out the new mural at the Quirk Gallery parking lot? It was started about a month ago by a collective of RVA artists: Hamilton Glass, Ed Trask, Mickael Broth, Matt Lively, Chris Milk, Andre Shank and Hampton Boyer; along with Hands on Greater Richmond volunteers and few members from the RVA arts community. It was apart of the 2014 Fall Line Fest and the mural turned out great. I was able to take a few photos this week. Quirk is located at 311 W. Broad Street.

Faculty Spotlights
Not Your Average Prof
Can a nationally recognized, award-winning math professor who didn't finish high school change students' lives? Yes. And that's exactly what math professor Matt Lewis is doing.
"Since I was 15, I wanted to be in college," said Lewis. When other kids headed to the beach for spring break, he headed to college. "I had some college friends, and during spring break of my sophomore year of high school, I went to school with them. I was amazed. I wanted to learn everything, and still do," he laughed. "The following year I convinced my parents to let me take the GED. I passed with no problems, and instead of returning to high school after Christmas break, I started college. Since then, teaching has allowed me to stay where I always wanted to be."
Math is often a barrier that hinders students from successfully completing their higher education credential. Lewis worked on a team of San Jacinto College math faculty that developed the AIM (Acceleration in Mathematics) program, a corequisite course that incorporates remedial math with college algebra. "AIM students are usually one to two math levels below college algebra," Lewis said. "But because of AIM's reputation, students have this hope that you don't see in a regular college algebra class. Their optimism is an incredible resource. If you can get a student to feel optimistic, you can use that to help them. They become resilient because of it."
Lewis added that the College itself is changing the educational landscape of community colleges. "What works at San Jacinto College is our culture. This isn't a place where you can easily be complacent because there's always passionate people around you trying to innovate and do better for our students. Without that climate I don't think any one of us would be succeeding. There's no better place to be in community college education right now."
Challenge Accepted
Dr. Rachel Garcia once defied the odds to find success in her science career, so she says she gladly "accepts the challenge" to help others do so as well. That is one of the reasons why she is this year's Minnie Stevens Piper nominee and Faculty Excellence Award Recipient.
Garcia understands that many students have obligations outside of school, much like she did, so she shares with them her story of navigating her own path. "I have been in their shoes, and I encourage them to never give up," Garcia said.
Each year, Garcia submits a report on science outreach and receives a grant from the Greater Houston Section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) to purchase supplies for chemistry demonstrations. The ACS has also awarded her a grant to fund a STEM Expo for young children. She annually presents to sixth grade girls at the Expanding Your Horizons conference. This past October, she organized a chemistry conference to address the cost of textbooks and other instructional resources.
"I often hear from students that they 'never got chemistry' in high school," said Garcia. "I take those statements to heart and accept the challenge of getting the students to love chemistry as much as I do."

Young, cocksure, handsome and absurdly talented, Australian actor Heath Ledger shot to prominence with his first Hollywood film "10 Things I Hate About You": and a star was born. With huge charisma and smouldering looks lighting up the screen in a series of subsequent films, Heath was soon established as Hollywood A-list, dating a series of beauties such as Heather Graham and Naomi Watts, and living every young man's dream.
But it was his award-winning and controversial role as Ennis Del Mar in "Brokeback Mountain" that cemented his place in the pantheon of acting greats - he was one of the youngest people ever to be nominated for an Oscar. And it was on the set of this film that he fell in love with his co-star Michelle Williams.
Though the relationship wasn't to last, the couple had a daughter in 2005. With the world at his feet and a film-stealing turn in the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight", in the can, there was worldwide shock and disbelief when the news broke that he had been found dead in his New York apartment on 22 January 2008. Prescription drugs, found next to his dead body, were thought to be the cause, but mystery surrounded the circumstances. Was it an accidental death? Or were the pressures of life in the spotlight too great to bear?
What is certain is that this young man, who touched the lives of so many people, leaves behind a grief-stricken public and family, including a two-year-old daughter. This is the tragic story of the brilliant actor whose light shone so brightly but all too briefly upon the world.

Recently, members of Team H&H got in a
n argument healthy discussion, about flawed characters. It's something that many authors have to walk the fine line with—to the point that it becomes the Goldilocks syndrome of "just right." We want character that are flawed and imperfect and human, but still redeemable, because while that a**hat at your coffee shop surely has a great story... he's stil an a**hat and you don't necessarily want to read a book about him.
Has there been times when a character is too flawed? Can they be flawed in a quirky way? Where do you draw the line?

If you're a gay man who earns a living as a performance artist and who has drawn the ire of some of the right wing's leading hatemongers, the "election" of George W. Bush is a distressing fact. While governor of Texas, Bush vetoed hate-crime legislation, and since his Supreme Court coronation last month, Bush has nominated right-wing icon John Ashcroft for attorney general and—lip service and Vice President-elect Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter aside—has done nothing to make gays feel they'll ever earn equal rights in the land of the supposedly free. It's enough to make you ponder leaving the country.
In Tim Miller's case, leaving the U.S. isn't merely fanciful; it's a real option, but one that has less to do with presidential than sexual politics. Miller, who grew up in Orange County, has had a relationship with Australian native Alistair McCartney for six years. McCartney is studying in California, but his student visa expires in a year. If one of them were a woman, they could marry and stay here. But because gay marriage is illegal, Miller figures he'll eventually have to choose one form of exile—from the country of his birth, or the man he loves.
Miller tackles marriage, exile and gay rights in his one-man performance piece, Glory Box, which he brings to Santa Ana's Empire Theater for two performances this weekend. A politically charged look at same-sex marriage and the struggle for equal rights among lesbians and gay couples, the piece runs on the fuel of outrage and provocation that drives Miller's other autobiographical pieces. "Love between human beings is being attacked by the U.S. government," Miller says in the piece itself; passage of same-sex marriage initiatives like Proposition 22 are part of an organized campaign of oppression against a specific group.
"It's very disappointing to me that 61 percent of the people in the state I grew up in voted last year to deny same-sex couples basic, fundamental rights," Miller said of Prop. 22, which passed shortly after he performed Glory Box in Laguna Beach last year. Two similar, successful initiatives in Nevada and Nebraska further make him question the very concept of America as a civilized nation.
"Hate sells," he says. "That's one of the big lessons of the 20th century. And hatred toward homosexuals is still the only approved hatred. It's not like this in any other Western country."

Miller admits he's "not sure if performance is the place where that attitude can be changed, but it's what I do. I want to make people angry, and I want to make them want to do something."
That's why at every show, Miller gives the audience the phone numbers of local congressional representatives, in hopes that some will call in support of equal-rights legislation for gay couples.
But outrage is only one element of Glory Box. Miller is proudest of the fact that he has created a funny, compelling show. "That's what I'm most happy about in this piece," he says. "Sure, I get my rants and little infomercials, but ultimately, this is a love story. And that is an upside to America. Yes, there's a fascist element lurking beneath the surface, and my friends in Europe barely even consider us a civilized country by the way we treat gay people. But we're also a very sentimental country, and I think that is a real positive faculty."
Glory Box at the Empire Theater, 200 N. Broadway, Santa Ana, (714) 547-4688. Fri.-Sat., 8 p.m. $15-$20.

ATLANTA - Opposing lawyers are preparing to face off over a state law that gives medical malpractice defendants the right to choose their home county as the site of a lawsuit if that's where the offense occurred.

Oral arguments in the closely watched case will be heard today before the Georgia Supreme Court.
At issue is the venue portion of a law passed by the Republican-led legislature earlier this year. Supporters of the change said too many malpractice plaintiffs had been forum-shopping in an effort to secure a friendly court.
The law also capped pain-and-suffering awards at $350,000 for malpractice cases and set up incentives for patients to settle out of court. Consumer advocacy groups and many lawyers opposed the plan, saying it went too far to protect doctors and that insurance companies, not malpractice victims, were to blame for high premiums.
Other challenges to the law are expected in the months ahead.
At today's hearing, lawyers for a neurologist and his former practice group will argue that a lower court was correct when it ruled that a malpractice suit against the doctor should be tried in Bartow County, where the alleged malpractice occurred. The plaintiff had filed suit in Fulton County.
"The trial court did not abuse its discretion," an attorney, Thomas Carlock, wrote.
Lawyers for the plaintiff, who alleges doctors failed to diagnose in a timely manner and properly treat a stroke he suffered, argue that it is the plaintiff's right to choose venue. The new law, they say, unconstitutionally restricts that right.
A second case involving the new law, in which a lower court judge ruled that the law is unconstitutional, also will be heard today. That case involves a man who suffered a heart attack after being sent home with what doctors diagnosed as acid reflux.
"Quite simply, the legislature has never been permitted to restrict the venue provided for in the Georgia Constitution except to protect the right to a trial by a fair and impartial jury," attorney Laura Shamp, who represents the man who suffered the heart attack, wrote in court papers.

Recycling Within Arctic Snowpack
K. Murray1 , V. Rao Kotamarthi2 , P.V. Doskey1,4, C. Toro1 , B.A. Van Dam3
Exchange of reactive gases like O3, NOx, NOy, halogens, peroxides, and aldehydes with snowpack is regulated by physical characteristics of the snow, photochemistry, and heterogeneous chemistry of reactive species in the snow column. Bromine (Br) compounds affect O3 as follows:
Depletion of O3 by reaction with Br is more prominent in snow-covered regions due to the large reservoir of Br in the snow and elevated photolysis rates related to high albedo. The levels of Br compounds within and above snowpack are regulated by micrometeorology, surface microtopography, e-folding depth, and physicochemical parameters that define the snow. Here we present the development of a high-resolution, 1-D snowpack model with parameterizations of chemical and physical interactions between the snowpack interstitial air (IA), the quasi-liquid layer (QLL), and the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). The sensitivity of Br chemistry to snow density and the e-folding depths of photolysis rates will be evaluated.
Photochemical rates of reaction
Photolysis rates are calculated online based on locations, time of year, elevation, absorption cross sections, and quantum yields. The j-values within snow are calculated as follows (Thomas et al., 2010):
Where z is the depth and is the e-folding depth.
Photolysis E-fold Depth Analysis Results
Quasi-liquid layer (QLL) of snow and volumetric ratios
The QLL is a thin, wet film that exists on the surface of the snow between the bulk of ice and the atmosphere and is the location of enhanced chemical activity. In the 1-D model, the thickness of the QLL (d), the radius of a snow flake (r), and the densities of snow (snow), air (air), and ice (ice) are used to estimate volumetric ratios of liquid and air in the snowpack, wl and wa, respectively. From the mass balance on 1 m3 of the snowpack and by assuming snowflakes are spherical and IA is much less than ice and snow, the ratios are as follows:
Snow densities were varied from 0.15 g cm-3 (fresh snow) to 0.60 g cm-3 (wind-packed snow) and values of were varied from 10-30 cm to evaluate effects on Br chemistry. Meteorological conditions are typical of an early summer day and initial concentrations of halogen species and ozone are presented in the following table. Initial concentrations of other species are similar to conditions set by Thomas et al.
Photolysis E-fold Depth Analysis Results
E-fold – 0.10 cm
E-fold – 0.30 cm
E-fold – 0.10 cm
E-fold – 0.30 cm
Snow Density Analysis Results
Density – 0.15 g/cm3
Density – 0.60 g/cm3

Is The Crazies the First Film to Post Live Twitter Updates?
by Alex Billington
March 27, 2009
It seem as if the whole world is caught up in a Twitter craze right now, with celebrities, directors, movie studios, and everyone else you can think of joining the ranks. It's a popular service, no doubt, and quite fun and sometimes informative. While we've seen directors (like Jon Favreau) and studios (like Lionsgate and Miramax) use Twitter successfully, the first actual film I've seen that has been trying to take advantage of the hype is The Crazies, an upcoming remake of George Romero's 1973 thriller. Not only have they been posting photos from the set (which is very rare), but they even gave away a set visit and walk-on role.
The Twitter - twitter.com/TheCraziesFilm - started on March 4th, and has been updating live from the set in Georgia ever since. It looks like the deadline for the "set visit and walk-on role" contest was very early on, although the winner was only identified quite recently. We're not sure who is running this (my guess is it's someone working in marketing for Overture Films), but they've posted updates like: "Wrapping up today's shoot at the second location… A really creepy old farm house! This is gonna be good!!!" And then there's also the occasional: "closed set. top secret scene. will have more info for you tomorrow night."
A few small photos from the set have been posted on the Twitter as well. This is quite interesting to see, because usually photos from any set, closed or open, are never revealed to the public until the studio wants them to be seen. And even then, we only ever get to see a very small, selective batch of photos. As far as I know, this is the first time a major production has been this open about what's happening on set (and written about it on Twitter). I'm curious to see how much Jon Favreau will continue to write about Iron Man 2 (or how much Paramount will let him), as he's only posted rehearsal updates (like this one) so far.
While it may be too late to when a trip to the set, I'd suggest you follow the Twitter anyway, just in case there are any other cool updates. And I can bet if this goes over well (or, more importantly, if it doesn't hurt the film in the end), we'll see other studios doing similar things with Twitter. The Crazies is being directed by Breck Eisner (Sahara) and stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, and Joe Anderson. Overture currently has it set for release on September 25th later this year. And if you missed it, we ran the official teaser poster back in February. And hell, while you're at it, follow us on Twitter, too!

He is the reigning Norris trophy winner and current leader in points by defencemen. That being said, according to information gathered by TSN Insider Darren Dreger, P. K. Subban of the Montreal Canadiens is a 'long shot' to play for Team Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
If I were picking the CDN Oly team, Subban would be on it. Based on intel gathered, at this pt, he's a longshot…behind Boyle and Letang.
— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) October 31, 2013
According to Dreger's tweet, Subban is held in lower favour than fellow offensively inclined right-handed defencemen Dan Boyle of the San Jose Sharks and Kris Letang of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Boyle was a contributing member of the Canadian men's team that won gold in Vancouver 2010. That may give him the inside track.
The hardest part about arguing which player(s) should be on a team as deadly in depth as Team Canada is – well then who do you leave off allowing room for Subban?
At the moment, there are three widely accepted locks on Canada's blue line. Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and Duncan Keith are practically guaranteed to be there. They can do it all – strong defensively – great offensively – and this trio played big minutes along with Boyle, Pronger and Niedermayer in 2010.
Brent Seabrook of the Chicago Blackhawks was the seventh defenceman in Vancouver. If anything, he has improved since then. Seabrook put on an incredible display of dominance in the 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs en route to a Hawks Cup victory. While it can be argued that Boyle, Letang and Subban are offensively more effective than the Hawks big blueliner, lest we not forget that Seabrook has proven himself a capable scorer in big games, like this one and this one.
How do you leave off a two-time Stanley Cup champion, 1-time Olympic gold medalist who is 6'3″, plays with a mean streak, and moves around the ice as well as most smaller, mobile defencemen? You probably don't. Seabrook is very likely rounding out the top four on Canada's defence, playing alongside his familiar partner Duncan Keith.
The biggest issue with Canada's defence options for the 2014 Winters' is that aside from Duncan Keith, all the favourites to make the team are right handed shots. At the moment, Weber, Doughty, Seabrook, Boyle, Letang, Subban, and the highly touted Alex Pietrangelo all shoot right. Which means while maintaining offensive pressure this group would feature multiple defenders forced to hold the line on their off-wing. That could lead to a scenario where someone like Letang or Subban may be forced to attempt a keep-in on his backhand against a player like Alex Ovechkin or Patrick Kane. That is risky business in a tournament where one bad goal gets you eliminated. And the opposition is certainly talented enough to burn Canada on an odd man rush going the other way.
Duncan Keith shoots left. He stands alone as the only obvious choice on defence who is best suited to play the left side.
Other lefties Jay Bouwmeester, Marc Staal and Marc Edouard Vlasic could factor in simply because of the hand they shoot. Bouwmeester is helped by the fact that he regularly skates his NHL shifts with Pietrangelo. Canada has proven in the past to prefer pairs if they can find good ones. Keith and Seabrook in 2010, Pronger and Macinnis in 2002 – it could happen again.
Narrowing the blueline down to 7 or 8 will not be easy, that is for sure. There may not be a place for all three of Boyle, Letang and Subban. If only one can make it, perhaps Boyle is first choice because he has been there before. Maybe it's Letang because he's more of a 5-on-5 threat offensively, although you could argue he is more of a liability. But Letang has the Crosby connection, which may help his cause. Or it could be Subban they choose because he has one of the best point shots in hockey. The worry for Subban is that if it's his point shot that earns him favour, he competes with Shea Weber for the right to play big shot righty on Canada's main power play. Subban is good, but Weber is just as good if not better from the point. Plus, Weber is better known as an effective defensive player.
Luckily, personal team biases aside, any collection of players mentioned above can unite to form a defence corps that is more than capable of winning gold for Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics. If Subban makes the team, I won't be worried. If he doesn't, ditto. Whereas Team Canada's goaltending depth at the high-end may be in question this year, you cannot argue weakness amongst their unbelievable crop of defencemen. At least one very good NHL blueliner will probably not play for the 2014 Canadian men's hockey team in Sochi.

Obama seeks to expand 401(k) use by employers pooling plans
President Barack Obama will propose allowing small businesses to more easily pool 401(k) plans, in the hope that more Americans will adopt a crucial tool to save for retirement.
The proposal, to be included in his 2017 budget, represents Obama's latest attempt to leverage an issue with some Republican support to both tick off an item on his agenda -- longstanding concerns about Americans'retirement security -- and influence the campaign to succeed him.
Obama also will propose making it easier for job-hopping workers to track multiple retirement accounts and combine them, and he'll ask Congress to provide $100 million to test new, more portable accounts. His budget will be released on Feb. 9.
"Workers without a retirement plan at work rarely save," Jeff Zients, Obama's National Economic Council director, told reporters on a conference call on Monday. "We know that economic security in retirement is a kitchen table issue."
The stagnation of wages for middle-income workers, which has made saving for retirement more difficult, has been a blot on Obama's economic record even as unemployment has been cut in half since the peak of the recession. It's become a point of attack for the Republicans running to succeed him while the Democratic contenders, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, have made income inequality a central theme of their economic policies.
Approaching the end of his term, Obama has said that he hopes to work with Republicans on a few legislative priorities where they agree, such as an overhaul of U.S. sentencing rules to reduce prison terms for nonviolent drug offenses and trade. Improving the administration and adoption of retirement savings accounts has the support of some Republicans, including Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, who introduced legislation in 2013 that would have allowed small employers to more easily offer pooled 401(k) plans.
Financial services companies that run and sell investments to the plans as well as workers who don't haveretirement accounts would benefit "if it's done correctly," said Michael Kreps, an attorney at the Groom Law Group in Washington, which represents employers, pension plans and financial services companies.
"They are recognizing that there's bipartisan support for this and it's something that could get done in 2016," Kreps, a former Democratic staff member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said of the White House proposal.
Obama is meeting Tuesday at the White House with the Democratic leaders of the House and Senate, Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Harry Reid, to talk about his 2016 legislative agenda. On Thursday he'll talk with Democratic lawmakers at a retreat in Baltimore. The White House also is trying to arrange a face-to-face meeting with House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican. Those plans were temporarily disrupted by the snow storm that has shut down most of official Washington.
Current law allows limited combinations of employers' 401(k) plans. Companies that band together must have "commonality" -- for example, a group of car dealerships, Labor Secretary Tom Perez said on the call.
"What we're saying in this proposal is you shouldn't have to be just auto dealers coming together to be able to benefit from this," he said.
The White House says that allowing businesses to join together will reduce administrative expenses and make it cheaper to provide the accounts to workers. Obama won't reveal what the changes will cost or how he plans to pay for them until he releases his budget.
Many people even a decade away from retirement haven't saved enough, presenting a looming crisis that Obamais right to address, said Jared Bernstein, a researcher at the nonprofit Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington and a former member of Obama's economics team.
"It's important because an increasing number of people are ill-prepared for the economic challenges they'll face inretirement," Bernstein said in an interview. "The administration, I can tell you as someone who used to work there, has long been aware of the problem."
Last year, Obama created a retirement account called a myRA for people without 401(k) plans. The program doesn't offer matching contributions from employers and doesn't allow for investing in the stock market, but it also guarantees that participants won't lose their savings. Savers through the program can invest only in a U.S. Treasury security guaranteed never to lose value.
His administration is expected to finish a regulation in the first quarter of the year that would require investment advisers to put their clients' best interests first, called a "fiduciary" rule. It's opposed by banks such as Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Inc. and Wells Fargo, as well as mutual fund companies, independent brokers and insurers.

Project Location: 4605 Westside Rd, Healdsburg, CA 95448
Owner: Distinguished Vineyards & Wine Partners
Completion Date: 02/14/2015
In early 2015, MacRostie Winery & Vineyards moved into a new "spiritual home"—an Estate House and Barrel Building designed by Gould Evans and situated on a stunning 13 acre site along Healdsburg's famous Dry Creek wine trails. The client desired a place that would feel more like a home than a business, as well as a structure that would fit into the character and fabric of the Sonoma agricultural landscape. The Estate House was sited to be highly visible from Westside Road, creating a welcoming aura and sustaining it throughout the tasting experience.
Two large Sycamores shade and frame the entry to the wooden Estate House—the center of a down tempo, genteel wine tasting experience. The modest scale and simple gable form recall Sonoma's traditional agrarian structures. Manipulations in the gable open the interior space to view, light, and air, while large expanses of glazing enable dramatic views all the way through the building to the landscape beyond. A simple, refined material palette of stained Western Red Cedar siding, glass, and natural stone flooring is utilized from interior to exterior, reinforcing the sense of indoor-outdoor continuity. An array of outdoor tasting terraces – shaded by a trellis of exposed wood framing – further blur the distinction between interior and exterior. Each frames a different vineyard view for the enjoyment of wine: the East terrace hovers above the valley floor, the South terrace showcases the rolling hills of the vineyard, while the North terrace features a combination of the two.
The winery production Barrel Building is sited perpendicularly to the Estate House, defining an outdoor plaza and reinforcing MacRostie's identity as a working estate winery. Metal siding distinguishes it from the Estate House, while glazing into the barrel room provides a glimpse of the production activities within. It employs night air cooling, a traditional agrarian sustainable feature. The elegant barn structure is day-lit by large translucent polycarbonate panels, creating a pleasant interior environment for the winery's production staff.

Dorset Residents Advised to Consider Non Emergency Number this Weekend
8:19am 24th May 2013
(Updated 2:04pm 24th May 2013)
The new 111 health helpline made national headlines when GP's warned the service was seriously flawed.
But NHS Dorset are urging us to use the number over the bank holiday weekend.
They say South West Ambulance have made improvements to call handling times and referrals.
They're putting more staff on this weekend to cope with the expected demand.
The service is run by South West Ambulance and has replaced NHS Direct in Dorset.
We spoke to Jane Pike, who works for the NHS, and she told us that 111 is free, open 24 hours a day and that all calls will be dealt with by a trained advisor.
"111 is for when it's not as urgent as when you require an ambulance, but you're not quite sure. 111 will direct you to the most appropriate care and actually, if you need an ambulance, they'll direct you there too."
She also told us, "I'm really pleased we're doing something on 111, and making sure that it's about appropriate use of all the different services."

Clan Keith Lands & Places
View Clan Keith in a larger map
Keiths took up lands near Peterhead after 1359. The Clan also had lands around Stonehaven including Dunnottar. As well as these they also had lands in East Lothian and Caithness. The Caithness lands were extensive and were sold to the Sinclairs in 1612. So they held a big area south of Aberdeen and a small area above Ramsay.

As the War in Iraq continues to rage, many in the White House, State Department, Department of Defense, and outside government are left to wonder if it was possible to foresee the difficulty the United States is currently having with Sunni nationalists and Islamic extremists. Recent American military experience offers significant insight into this question. With the fog of the Cold War finally lifting and clarity returning to the nature of conflict, the dominance of asymmetry in the military experience of the United States is all too evident.
Lebanon (1982-1984), Somalia (1992-1994), and Afghanistan (2001-2004) offer recent and relevant insight into successes and failures of American attempts to fight adversaries utilizing asymmetric conflict to combat the United States when it intervened in these three states. The results illustrate the difficulty of engaging adversaries unwilling to wage a conventional war and the need for improved strategic and tactical doctrine.
It is easy, Lowther writes, for Americans to forget the lessons of past conflicts as the politics of the present dominate…. His purpose here is to highlight some of history's recent lessons so that we may move forward with an awareness of what experience offers.
"Adam Lowther's analysis of America's experience in asymmetric conflict affords a unique perspective in a burgeoning genre. The author explores America's role in conflicts characterized by disproportionate capabilities and ill-defined objectives. He succeeds in painstakingly tracing the history of unconventional military theory. Lowther provides a superbly systematic analysis of US involvment in Lebanon, Somalia, and Afghanistan....Americans and Asymmetric Conflict provides a rich survey of military thought that is instructive for those seeking a concise source on unconventional warfare theory. The case studies of Lebanon, Somalia, and Afghanistan are balanced and insightful, and hold value for future contingency planners. They are also an excellent resource to supplement other primary sources related to similar conflicts."

Complaint Review: Coast To Coast Vacation Travel Club (aka Grand Getaway Vacations)
- Coast To Coast Vacation Travel Club (aka Grand Getaway Vacations)
Osprey Drive 4Unit A&B In Philipsburg St Maarten AND Suite 108,316 W Mission In California
Philipsburg, St Maarten AND Escondido, CA, California
United States of America
- Phone: 866-978-4604
- Web:
- Category: Travel Agents
Coast To Coast Vacation Travel Club (aka Grand Getaway Vacations) Sold us vacation travel package but made it difficult to cancel within 3 days. Ripoff Philipsburg St Maarten AND Escondido California
Thank goodness for the 3 days to change-your-mind clause (the resission period). We left St Maarten the next day, as luck would have it, or we would be stuck with the contract. When we got home we searched the internet for information on the travel level (Diamond) we had just bought, especially looking for reviews on the program. We found this site and little else. The 2 web site addresses they provided us with were to RV web sites. The reason we were so interested was we wanted to know how to arrange our next trip.
At the end of the paper signing you take only a copy of the papers you signed. You take nothing else significant with you. The complete owner's package is to arrive at your house by mail, including books to help select new vacation locations from. You are told the reason why you don't receive the owner's package at that time is to keep you from having to carry these in your suitcase to your home. Perhaps it would have arrived but we won't find out now.
I just realized. The travel books we were shown vacations sites in were not current books. The books were 1 or 2 years old. A sales department should have the most current material possible. That should have been Red Flag #1.
As stated, we wanted more information on what we had bought into. We called the island number they provided. The first time somebody answered the phone and passed us on to someone else, who said they would arrange for someone to call us back in just a few minutes. I called back after about 1 minute as I had forgotten to ask something. No one answered the phone as it was now on auto-message even though they should be open still. Nobody ever called back either. We finally gave up and decided this was Red Flag #2.
The next day we decided to contact Cheryl, the Senior Advertising Representative, who was supposed to sell our existing timeshare for us. (During the sales pitch the financial person at Coast to Coast had pulled out his cell phone, pressed a speed dial for Cheryl, and also told us she was on retainer for them for several years now.) Cheryl's administrative assistant answered the phone when we called. We explained that we needed the fax number and any other contact numbers for Coast to Coast on St Maarten so we could provide them the needed documents relevant to our deal. (If Coast to Coast was really such a good account for Cheryl her assistant should have no problem providing us with basic business numbers.) She told us she can't give us any information. Red Flag #3. Cheryl was in a meeting, but would be back in one hour. We provided my cell phone number for her to reach us. Cheryl never called. Red Flag #4.
We decided to cancel the contract and wrote our own Cancellation letter. In it we noted that, since they did not provide one, this letter would be our formal notice of canceling the contract. In the fine print of the contract you will find that you have to send it to your 'Authorized Distributor of the Coast to Coast Vacation Travel Club'' in Philipsburg. No name is provided so we used both the manager's and the financial person's names. We went to FedEx to send it. It cost about $44 because it was a rush and an international delivery, but was money well spent. In this case I recommend FedEx as there is a FedEx store between the airport and Philipsburg. Other carriers could not guarantee delivery in time. FedEx helped us track it and even entered an electronic note for the delivery person about the time urgency. It was delivered in time we later found out.
Not knowing this fact at the time we decided to be extra cautious. We wanted a back up system just in case. We decided to also fax the cancellation to them. We then began to try finding their fax number.
I tried the RV site and spoke to a lady who readily provided us with a fax number for St Maarten. A later call to the same number resulted in a different lady saying that her supervisor told her they have no numbers for St Maarten. Red Flag #5.
We later got the exact same number from 2 other sources. However, when trying to send the fax you could hear the fax machine advising that this was not a correct number. Red Flag #6.
Buyer beware on this company. It could be legit, but too many Red Flags were encountered. Should you need it the correct fax number is 011-599-542-2777 (at least it was as of 06/22/2007). No country code is needed for this number. We know that this number worked as we called the voice line again to confirm the fax was received. We used the voice number they provided (1-866-978-4604) and the financial person, Reggie, actually answered. He admitted he did receive the fax. We later learned the FedEx also arrived at about the same time and was signed for.
There was another issue that came up tying this web site to our encounter. Both have a mention to Grand Getaway Vacations and to Coast to Coast credit card. One form we signed says "Grand Getaway Vacations Contract Addendum" and another that provides their address but the space for a phone number is blank.
The issue with the credit card is that you sign a piece of paper saying you can't cancel the initial credit authorization after 3 days. Thus, once you sign the credit card authorization form you have 3 days max to cancel IN WRITING, TO THE PROPER PERSON, IN PHILIPSBURG or the contract is valid and you owe them the money.
Bank of America is the parent company that Coast to Coast card comes through. We cancelled the Coast to Coast card immediately but learned the authorization we signed was valid until written evidence was in Coast to Coast hands before the 3 day period was up. Coast to Coast still has our funds legally for 30 days before they have to relinquish it, after which the Bank will accept our dispute of funds. We have evidence the fax arrived and the FedEx was signed for. I suggest you do the same if you can still cancel. Coast to Coast, or anyone, can always claim to you that they did get the fax and then later deny it to the Bank. FedEx provides a signed copy but takes a little longer and cost more.
Our scratch prize of a Sony digicam is supposed to be mailed to us, but we don't expect it to ever arrive.
