Feature WHO/198 NEW POLITICIANS, OLD VULNERABILITIES: When the population of Serbia goes to the polls this Sunday, their vote will not just affect the Parliamentary deputies of the Republic of Serbia, it will ripple through all state institutions, including those concerned with health care. This should enable some much-needed direction and action. The past few months have seen health strategies on hold and some health facilities unable to pay bills even when there is money because signing authority remained with an inactive director. But clearing the governmental air will not have an immediate effect on the fundamental problems of people seeking health care in Serbia which are: a drained health insurance fund with virtually no current income because of high unemployment, dependence on international organizations for drugs and medical supplies, obsolete medical equipment, and very low salaries – a doctor earns only between 80 and 200 DM a month. Last week the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated Serbia needs a total of US$341million just to keep the health service going for the next six months. The Government, WHO calculates, should be able to cover half of this – largely salaries. The rest – including drugs, medical consumables such as needles, gauze and gloves, patient food, essential maintenance, running costs and fuel – needs an urgent response from any individual or organization which would like to show their support for the new Serbia – and, in particular, for the health needs of the people there. In practice, it is patients who currently fill this gap, buying their own medical consumables and drugs and paying something for referrals, investigations and operations. This puts health care out of reach, not just for many of Serbia's 720,000-plus refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs), but also for the resident population, many of whom live now in equally poor health and economic circumstances. What is becoming increasingly difficult is working out just who needs help most urgently. Much international assistance has been targeted to collective centres where refugees from Bosnia Herzegovina and Croatia have lived for as long as five years and where, in the past 18 months, internally displaced people from Kosovo have been gathered. But while conditions in these are unquestionably difficult – cramped with stretched communal services and little privacy – in material terms, collective centre residents are now relatively better off than the majority who live in so-called private accommodation whose plight is far less visible. "Collective centres are easy for organizations who have some money to target – they are very visible," says Dr Danijela Korać of the Novi Sad Humanitarian Centre, a local NGO which operates outreach medical teams under the auspices of the International Rescue Committee. "Though residents get no actual money, the state pays for running costs like heating and they get food and other things they need through the Yugoslav Red Cross which delivers international aid. But over 90% of refugees and IDPs live in private accommodation, which sounds nice, but in fact is often dark and damp and very bad – and they get no help with electricity bills or rent, and no aid." Many of people living in private accommodation work on the grey market to pay the bills, says Dr Korać, but 80 to 90% of their income goes on rent and if a family member becomes ill, especially if it is a bread winner, what fragile stability they have collapses. "Most of the time people in private accommodation can maintain some kind of equilibrium, but if they have to do something extra like buying medicines then they really have a problem. Often the most vulnerable people – emotionally, financially, in every way – are a family which has a sick member." Preliminary results of a baseline health study carried out by the Institute of Public Health of Serbia and the WHO suggest there are currently high rates of under-treatment of diagnosed diseases like hypertension, anaemia and diabetes among refugees and IDPs, most likely due to difficulty in obtaining drugs that are not available in state pharmacies. Local assessments, however, suggest that there is little difference between the health status of refugees and IDPs and vulnerable people (unemployed, elderly, socially or physically disadvantaged) among the resident population, and that international aid needs to broaden out to include the latter. To help facilitate this, and the effective co-ordination of health assistance and public health interventions, WHO has just opened two new field offices, one in Nis and one in Novi Sad, with the help of funding from the Norwegian and British Governments. WHO's field officers will also provide technical public health back-up to the local health authorities and to international medical NGOs which are already focusing on vulnerable populations. Médicins du Monde Greece, for example, have focused their support on primary health care in rural areas of South Serbia, renovating 'ambulantas', and providing drugs and medical supplies accessible to the whole community, not just refugees and IDPs. Others, such as the International Medical Corps and International Rescue Committee, work with local staff to provide medication and basic health advice to collective centres, and outreach services into the community aimed at seeking out the vulnerable. Whoever the vulnerable are deemed to be – one of the most urgent problems to be solved is drug supply to state pharmacies. Serbia had an efficient drug manufacturing industry but sanctions and the rock bottom prices under the previous regime have brought activity almost to a standstill. WHO has been working this month with Pharmaciens sans Frontičres and the European Agency for Reconstruction in the Balkans to get essential drugs into state pharmacies by the end of the year. With over 60% of the drugs to be brought from local manufacturers, it's hoped that this will kick-start the industry too. A further donation to cover drugs for the coming six months is also being considered by the European Commission – though the Agency is cautioning that neither of these donations will cover all drug needs of the health service and other projects are needed to target specific groups such as insulin-dependent diabetics, haemophiliacs and the large numbers of people with high blood pressure. A second priority identified by WHO is medical equipment – not the long 'shopping lists' of new equipment every health facility director now has in his or her back pocket but getting existing medical equipment working again. In Belgrade, the City Hospital's almost new CT scan is out of action for want of an inexpensive computer memory board, says WHO medical equipment consultant Dr Barbara Veh-Schmidt, while an autoclave that should provide the hospital with IV fluids is not working because it lacks a microprocessor which is available cheaply on the local market but which the hospital has no spare funds to buy. Repairing equipment like this will have the immediate impact on many patients' treatment, says WHO, which this month began a project to get existing medical equipment back to work in a number of hospitals in collaboration with international medical NGO Merlin and funded by the UK Department for International Development. But these issues are just the short term priorities; 2001 is likely to hold a great deal more in terms of challenges for the 'new management' and its international partners if available aid is to be used effectively and help re-build a health service that will meet the needs of all.

WILKESBORO, N.C. (February 7, 2012) — This Sunday, the Staples Center in Los Angeles becomes the focal point of the entertainment world, when music's top artists are celebrated at the 54th Annual GRAMMY© Awards. Several of the artists nominated for these prestigious awards will grace the stages of MerleFest 25 this spring, continuing a twenty-five year tradition of bringing music's most talented performers to Wilkesboro, N.C., for one of the country's premier music festivals. MerleFest 25, presented by Lowe's and slated for April 26-29, is an annual homecoming of musicians and music fans, gathering to celebrate the memory of musician Eddy Merle Watson, beloved son of American music icon Doc Watson - who himself is the recipient of seven Grammys. Doc will share the MerleFest stages with the following 2011 Grammy nominees: Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, the Original Lineup (nominated for ¨DBest Instrumental Compositionˇ¬), Vince Gill (nominated for ¨DBest Country Songˇ¬), Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas (nominated for ¨DBest Bluegrass Albumˇ¬), Jim Lauderdale (nominated for ¨DBest Bluegrass Albumˇ¬), Steep Canyon Rangers (nominated for ¨DBest Bluegrass Albumˇ¬), Tedeschi Trucks Band (nominated for ¨DBest Blues Albumˇ¬) and artist Chris Thile, performing with the Punch Brothers at MerleFest 25 (nominated for ¨DBest Bluegrass Albumˇ¬). Of course, MerleFest 25 boasts the talents of many artists who have already received that most prestigious of music awards. Besides Fleck (12-time Grammy recipient), Gill (15-time Grammy recipient), Lauderdale (three-time Grammy recipient), Tedeschi Trucks Band and Thile (two-time Grammy recipient), other Grammy honorees include Sam Bush (three-time Grammy recipient), John Hammond, David Holt (four-time Grammy recipient), Jerry Douglas (12-time Grammy recipient), Los Lobos (three-time Grammy recipient), Nashville Bluegrass Band (six-time Grammy recipient), Tony Rice, Peter Rowan, Marty Stuart (five-time Grammy recipient) and dobroist Tut Taylor. Of special note in Grammy history is MerleFest 25 performer Alison Krauss, whose 26 prior wins makes her the most awarded female artist in Grammy history. In addition to its stellar roster of Grammy-nominated performers, MerleFest has also become known for spontaneous moments, collaborations and last-minute performance additions. To keep up with any additional changes and additions to this year's lineup – even during the festival – MerleFest encourages fans to sign up for the e-newsletter and to follow the festival through Facebook and Twitter. Links are available at www.merlefest.org. Ticket purchases for MerleFest 25 can be made on the web at www.merlefest.org or by calling 1-800-343-7857.

A complete list of confirmed performers is available at www.merlefest.org. MerleFest, considered one of the premier music festivals in the country, is held on the campus of Wilkes Community College in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. MerleFest was founded in 1988 in memory of Eddy Merle Watson and is a celebration of what Doc Watson calls ¨Dtraditional plusˇ¬ music, meaning the traditional music of the Appalachian regional plus whatever other styles we were in the mood to play.ˇ¬ The annual festival has become the primary fundraiser for the WCC Endowment Corporation, funding scholarships, capital projects and other educational needs.

The New River Marathon's home is in Ashe County, the Northwestern-most county of North Carolina, in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. This video (filmed in January 2011) offers a glimpse of this spectacular course. If you'd like to see more…come runnin' y'allThe New River Marathon courses primarily along the banks of the South Fork New River, one of only 14 American Heritage Rivers in the United States. Of the 17 miles with pastoral vistas of the New River, 13 miles are along Railroad Grade Road, a North Carolina Scenic Byway. For the 9 miles that wind away from the flat and fast New River Valley, the course offers several short, aggressive climbs, rolling country roads, and a challenging 2-mile section between 15.5 and 17.5 miles (the near 180 degree view at mile 17.5 is breathtaking). The New River Half-Marathon also courses primarily along the banks of the South Fork New River. The course offers approximately 9 miles of running along the New River. For the 4 miles that wind away from the flat and fast New River Valley, the course offers 2 primary climbs, rolling country roads, and a tour through historic Todd. The New River 5K may be shorter in distance, but the course is no less spectacular. The first and last miles are along the New River on Railroad Grade Rd. The middle mile is a serene tree covered dirt lane, with a country creek babbling down one side. The Start/Finish Line is graciously hosted by the family-owned and operated Riverside Restaurant, which sits on the banks of the New River. This National Register of Historic Places building is the former herb and root warehouse for Brownwood and surrounding communities of Todd and Fleetwood. In 2011, they served up the wonderful pre-race lasagna dinner, welcomed race spectators with a generous breakfast buffet, and offered the perfect post-race mountain BBQ, beans, and slaw. We're expecting much of the same in 2012.

Incentive Compatible Trade PoliciesRobert C. Feenstra
NBER Working Paper No. 1977 We consider a two country trade model with production uncertainty. If complete contingent markets do not exist, it is desirable for governments to adopt some trade policies to share the production risk. A full information policy involves income transfers across countries, which can be achieved by equal import tariffs and export subsidies. With incomplete information we consider incentive compatible trade policies, which are designed to be truth revealing while partially sharing the production risk. In this case the tariff in one country may differ from the export subsidy abroad. Published: Feenstra, Robert C. "Incentive Compatible Trade Policies," Scandinavian Journal of Economics, 1987.

Biography: Two-year starter awarded All-Conference honors as a senior after totaling 60/13/3. Sophomore totals included 43 tackles and
8 tackles for loss.
Positives: Big, athletic interior lineman with a large degree of upside potential. Moves well on his feet, flashes power and pushes blockers off the ball, collapsing the pocket. Displays the ability to stunt or twist, shows a burst of straight-line closing speed, and can be a disruptive force. Negatives: Must develop more moves with his hands and too easily turned from his angle of attack by a single blocker. Tends to play a bit straight legged and makes himself an easy target for opponents. Looks poorly conditioned. Analysis: Joseph possesses the size, athleticism, and strength to start at the next level in either a four-man front or potentially at nose tackle. That being the case, Joseph is very rough around the edges and needs a lot of time to develop his game. He comes with a good degree of upside and could eventually start at the next level.

A U.S Marine from North Miami pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to stealing the identities of more than 100 fellow Marines stationed in Afghanistan as part of a plot to claim thousands of dollars in fraudulent income-tax refunds in their names.
Jobson Cenor, 23, faces up to 22 years in prison at his December sentencing after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. According to court records, Cenor was stationed in Afghanistan when he corresponded with a Coral Springs woman via computer emails to use the Marines names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers to file phony tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service.
In late 2011 and early this year, Cenor provided the woman, Dorothy Boulin, with the Marines identities, many of whom were serving in his unit in Afghanistan, records show.
In February, FBI agents searched Boulins residence and found several lists that had the personal information of the Marines. Boulin identified Cenor as the person who supplied the lists. On that same day, Cenor and Boulin talked on the telephone about splitting the proceeds of the scheme, according to court records. Cenor told Boulin to keep his share until he returned from overseas.
Boulin, who cooperated with authorities, pleaded guilty and was sentenced in July to nearly six years in prison.

"Destiny is a name often given in retrospect to choices that had dramatic consequences."
— J.K. Rowling
In the process of returning to Forks, Washington, Edward came across a car whose passenger held a familiar, silent mind. Curious by the phenomenon, he followed them and inadvertently witnessed a horrific accident. Compelled by curiosity, Edward found himself immersed in the blood that he'd so desperately tried to shield himself from four years earlier. Overwhelmed by his vampire nature, he allowed the beast within free rein and savored the alluring liquid.
Consumed by the shame of drinking her blood, Edward brought the girl home to his father and hoped Carlisle would save her life, knowing deep in his heart that she was beyond modern medicine. After much deliberation, Edward accepted the inevitable and changed her himself, nearly killing her in the process. With the treaty in shambles and forgiveness hanging in the balance, could Edward forgive himself for imposing such a fate upon a dying girl? Could Bella ever love a vampire who stole everything from her?

We had survived the Volturi and were finally able to enjoy life without fear...until new threats arose. These were more sinister than any before...because the most terrifying one came from within me...
The lead figure took a few long steps toward us, and I felt Bella stiffen beside me and heard her gasp of pain. Hands moved toward the cowl of the robe, pushing it backwards. The moonlight made a valiant attempt to shine through the clouds highlighting him as the angel he'd always seemed. Bright red eyes scanned the group as a sneer claimed his face, twisting it. He looked toward the assassins beside him, after one last cold look toward us, he gave his order. "Destroy them."
The family tensed at the callousness in his voice.
"Edward…" Bella breathed out from beside me. Pain laced through her voice.
The figure hesitated only slightly as the weak light framed his bronze hair and the scar along his cheek. Then as he turned away, the robed figures dashed past him toward us.
"Henry!" my family screamed around me as we braced for impact. "Remember our training," I shouted. "And if possible bring Edward back alive…"

"In three words I can sum up
everything I've learned in life:
it goes on"
Robert Frost
Does time really heal all wounds, dull the ache, or erase the memories? Unfortunately after a decade, those things have yet to occur. My memories were too vivid—forever etched into my subconscious, an ever present and constant reminder that my life would never be a fairy tale. Fate had become my cruel mistress, sinking her dagger repeatedly into my heart, enjoying my misery.
When I woke up this morning, I wasn't expecting the day to head in this direction. Hardly. I predicted the weekend to sail smoothly. It was celebration of marriage—my best friend's wedding, and I refused to allow anything to ruin their happiness. However, as I stood here and gazed into those cold, tawny eyes, I wondered how I would keep that from happening.—Excerpt from Chapter 5-The Boy I Once Loved. *Note: Stephanie Meyer's vampire and supernatural parameter's will be slightly altered to fit my story—mostly regarding Bella's (eventual) supernatural parameters. I've labeled it NC-17 for lemons, language, and violence. But don't expect too many lemons in my story. I don't want to story to be all about sex. ")
This story is told in many points of view, mostly told by Jasper and Bella, but I will also include POV from the following characters: Carlisle, Edward, Alice, Embry, and an OC. Cannon through Twilight and up through E/B's separation in New Moon. From there everything changes - all bets are off. ") All couples are canon. (Eventual E/B HEA)*
Seeking a vaccine for vampirism, Edward and Carlisle created another type of monster - someone they love who can't remember how to be anything but deadly. With love, science, and murder in the air, the ultimate outcome is anyone's guess. Mature themes for mature readers.
Having lost his sister, his family, his newfound friends, and his home, Jason is on the run from the Volturi, hoping to hide himself so at least Fiona and Dermot will be safe.
However, unexpectedly, he encounters other vampires in the Pacific Northwest, the Cullens, a true family, one who invites him in.
With a new lease on life, Jason finds there are many quirks, many wonders that this family has in store but perhaps most importantly, among their allies, Jason finds love.
However on discovering this seemingly unnatural union, the Volturi force their way back into Jason's life to once again take that which he loves. The question is, this time, can he stop them?
When Bella Swan begins her career halfway across the country, it quickly becomes more than she expected. Teamed up with Emmett "Bear" McCarty, she is the voice of reason on Kansas City's lewd and popular morning radio show. Sparks immediately fly between the two hosts, but fate adds another person to the mix-- one of the show's surprise guests, jumpstarting more than just her heart.
Follow Bear, Bella, and the morning show crew through the fun and exciting world of being a local celebrity. See how tragedy unites them and how love heals them.
Rated NC-17 for language, gratuitous sex in every chapter, and rock & roll!
WARNING: Does contain femmeslash/poly.
The chances of a vampire finding the one human in the world whose blood sings to them so strongly as to challenge their very being are so small that most vampires never find theirs. When Edward Cullen was over a century old, he found his, and against all odds, he fell in love with her. Fifteen years after his mate Bella was changed into a vampire, she found hers. And it nearly drove her crazy. Edward worried it would one day become her undoing. Either way, it was seven against one when Bella tried to claim the infant's blood for her own. Not even her brother-in-law Jasper would stand aside to give her what she wanted.
Bella finds her singer, but it's not someone anyone expects. And no one expects it to nearly tear her and Edward apart. But the Volturi find out, and danger ensues.
Not too many warnings with this one, but it's Post-Breaking Dawn and as close to canon as I can make it with a few exceptions. It's rated Mature for implied adult situations, but nothing explicit.
We'll also be switching POV's, but there will be consistency eventually.

This story is going to be very close to canon, but there will be a lot of surprise pairings. If there is such a thing as a record for imprintings/ proposals/ weddings/ pregnancies in one twilight fanfic this may very well hit it.
There are a lot more lemons than I've ever written before, so please be kind on reviews, some of them will be rather unique.

Summary: Edward & Bella are getting ready to take the next step toward together forever. Just when they think it's safe to move on. A series of dark events just might put a stop to their happy ending for good.

"My father was a vampire; my mother was a human. It has been quite a few centuries since I was born, so I have decided to make a record of my life. I have seen death and love; despair and hope; tragedy and miracles. I regret little, as everything I have done has been right in my own eyes. My motivations were purposeful, and my memories are pure. My name is Cornelia."
Follow the life of a hybrid through the Twilight universe; from her birth in 1778 through love, loss, and friendship. This story is mostly canon - it follows the timeline as accurately as possible. Cornelia is my original character, but there are many canon characters throughout the story, including the Cullens, Volturi, Quileutes, etc.

David Cain is a hardened soldier who knows the horrors of war. He copes by never looking back and never planning ahead. Jane and David meet under extraordinary circumstances, and their souls are irrevocably intertwined. Can two lost souls find redemption, or will their collective pasts destroy them both?

Pulled in different directions, with nothing being as it seems or what she thought, Bella will need to rediscover herself and where she stands. Yet, Bella is not the only one that has a past or emotions and circumstances that govern her. Unknown history is learned, especially by the Quileute. Secrets and betrayals are revealed, and by more than just a couple of the Cullens. Where love is found and bonds are broken, a war is brewing. And in the midst of another ancient war, what will be the most dangerous weakness? Love? Greed? Family? Old hate? Forgiveness? Will it be everything that makes you, you?

I checked out the newly opened Barnes and Noble on 86th and Lexington in New York this past weekend, gift card in hand. The store is so huge, I hardly knew what to look at first. I picked through the fiction, quirky non-fiction bestsellers and cooking section on the first level, giving the second basement level not much more than a glance. A friend tells me they have a THIRD level with an event space, which I'm glad I didn't see. (One hour of mega store book browsing is enough, thanks!) Also, the place doesn't have cell phone reception, so my husband and I kept losing one another in the cavernous space.
That aside, I picked up some good reads:
"On Beauty" by Zadie Smith
"Absurdistan" by Gary Shteyngart
"The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini
"The Hunger: A Story of Food, Desire, and Ambition" by John Delucie (for my husband)
I know, I know. I could have checked these off any bestseller list. To be honest, my picks didn't stray from the "notable fiction" table. But I've been on a non-fiction binge for a few years, so I guess it's time to catch up. I've read White Teeth by Zadie Smith and enjoyed it (up until the last few pages) so I'll be happy to pick up Smith's latest. But before I crack any of these, I'll be wrapping up Truman Capote's In Cold Blood. Stay tuned for more on that soon.
A couple film-related post scripts:
It seems there is a recent German film also under the title Absurdistan. Anyone know if this is based on the book?
It didn't occur to me until writing this post that Delucie's memoir borrows its name, The Hunger, from the Whitley Strieber novel and 1980s cult vampire film with David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve. Is he trying to draw some blood-sucking allusions about the service industry lifestyle, perhaps?

Start in a shallow groove which protects with a medium stopper and then 0 Metolius TCU. Mantle out of the groove and follow easy rock to the base of the large left facing corner that makes up the bulk of Genesis. Stem and jam your way up the fingers to hands corner to a two bolt rap anchor on a sloping ledge. This route continues up from here, but most climbers only complete the first pitch.
Genesis is the furthest right hand route on the Church Wall. It is located at the top of the approach gully. The bulk of this route climbs a large left facing corner system. Descent is by rappel from a two bolt anchor.

The second pitch is good. If anything it suffers from neglect. We trundled off a few loose chunks. As of now it only has one bolt at the anchor.
Does the 2nd pitch need an extra bolt still? I would go up there and put one in as well as trundle everything off of it with a crowbar.

Then came a sergeant-of-arms bearing a great mace of silver, and two gentlemen carrying each a pillar of silver. Next rode a gentleman carrying the cardinal's hat, and after him came Wolsey himself, mounted on a mule trapped in crimson velvet, with a saddle covered with the same stuff, and gilt stirrups. His large person was arrayed in robes of the finest crimson satin engrained, and a silk cap of the same colour contrasted by its brightness with the pale purple tint of his sullen, morose, and bloated features. The cardinal took no notice of the clamour around him, but now and then, when an expression of dislike was uttered against him, for he had already begun to be unpopular with the people, he would raise his eyes and direct a withering glance at the hardy speaker. But these expressions were few, for, though tottering, Wolsey was yet too formidable to be insulted with impunity. On either side of him were two mounted attend ants, each caring a gilt poleaxe, who, if he had given the word, would have instantly chastised the insolence of the bystanders, while behind him rode his two cross-bearers upon homes trapped in scarlet. Wolsey's princely retinue was followed by a litter of crimson velvet, in which lay the pope's legate, Cardinal Campeggio, whose infirmities were so great that he could not move without assistance. Campeggio was likewise attended by a numerous train. After a long line of lords, knights, and esquires, came Henry the Eighth. He was apparelled in a robe of crimson velvet furred with ermines, and wore a doublet of raised gold, the placard of which was embroidered with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, large pearls, and other precious stones. About his neck was a baldric of balas rubies, and over his robe he wore the collar of the Order of the Garter. His horse, a charger of the largest size, and well able to sustain his vast weight, was trapped in crimson velvet, purfled with ermines. His knights and esquires were clothed in purple velvet, and his henchmen in scarlet tunics of the same make as those worn by the warders of the Tower at the present day. Henry was in his thirty-eighth year, and though somewhat overgrown and heavy, had lost none of his activity, and but little of the grace of his noble proportions. His size and breadth of limb were well displayed in his magnificent habiliment. His countenance was handsome and manly, with a certain broad burly look, thoroughly English in its character, which won him much admiration from his subjects; and though it might be objected that the eyes were too small, and the mouth somewhat too diminutive, it could not be denied that the general expression of the face was kingly in the extreme. A prince of a more "royal presence" than Henry the Eighth was never seen, and though he had many and grave faults, want of dignity was not amongst the number. Henry entered Windsor amid the acclamations of the spectators, the fanfares of trumpeters, and the roar of ordnance from the castle walls. Meanwhile, Anne Boleyn, having descended from her litter, which passed through the gate into the lower ward, stood with her ladies beneath the canopy awaiting his arrival. A wide clear space was preserved before her, into which, however, Wolsey penetrated, and, dismounting, placed himself so that he could witness the meeting between her and the king. Behind him stood the jester, Will Sommers, who was equally curious with himself. The litter of Cardinal Campeggio passed through the gateway and proceeded to the lodgings reserved for his eminence. Scarcely had Wolsey taken up his station than Henry rode up, and, alighting, consigned his horse to a page, and, followed by the Duke of Richmond and the Earl of Surrey, advanced towards Anne Boleyn, who immediately stepped forward to meet him. "Fair mistress," he said, taking her hand, and regarding her with a look of passionate devotion, "I welcome you to this my castle of Windsor, and trust soon to make you as absolute mistress of it as I am lord and master." Anne Boleyn blushed, and cast down her eyes, and Sir Thomas Wyat, who stood at some little distance with his hand upon his saddle, regarding her, felt that any hopes he might have entertained were utterly annihilated. "Heard you that, my lord cardinal?" said Will Sommers to Wolsey. "She will soon be mistress here. As she comes in, you go out--mind that!" The cardinal made no answer further than was conveyed by the deepened colour of his cheeks. Amid continued fanfares and acclamations, Harry then led Anne Boleyn through the gateway, followed by the ladies in waiting, who were joined by Richmond and Surrey. The prelate, chancellor, register, black rod, and other officers of the Garter, together with the whole of the royal retinue who had dismounted, came after them. A vast concourse of spectators, extending almost as far as the Lieutenant's Tower, was collected in front of the alms-knights' houses; but a wide space had been kept clear by the henchmen for the passage of the sovereign and his train, and along this Henry proceeded with Anne Boleyn, in the direction of the upper ward. Just as he reached the Norman Tower, and passed the entrance to the keep, the Duke of Shoreditch, who was standing beneath the gateway, advanced towards him and prostrated himself on one knee. "May it please your majesty," said Shoreditch, "I last night arrested a butcher of Windsor for uttering words highly disrespectful of your highness, and of the fair and virtuous lady by your side." "Ah! God's death! " exclaimed the king. "Where is the traitor? Bring him before us." "He is here," replied Shoreditch. And immediately Mark Fytton was brought forward by a couple of halberdiers. He still preserved his undaunted demeanour, and gazed sternly at the king. "So, fellow, thou hast dared to speak disrespectfully of us--ha!" cried Henry. I have spoken the truth," replied the butcher fearlessly. "I have said you were about to divorce your lawful consort, Catherine of Arragon, and to take the minion, Anne Boleyn, who stands beside you, to your bed. And I added, it was a wrongful act." "Foul befall thy lying tongue for saying so!" replied Henry furiously. "I have a mind to pluck it from thy throat, and cast it to the dogs. What ho! guards, take this caitiff to the summit of the highest tower of the castle--the Curfew Tower--and hang him from it, so that all my loyal subjects in Windsor may see how traitors are served." "Your highness has judged him justly," said Anne Boleyn. "You say so now, Mistress Anne Boleyn," rejoined the butcher; "but you yourself shall one day stand in as much peril of your life as I do, and shall plead as vainly as I should, were I to plead at all, which I will never do to this inexorable tyrant. You will then remember my end." Away with him! " cried Henry. " I myself will go to the Garter Tower to see it done. Farewell for a short while, sweetheart. I will read these partisans of Catherine a terrible lesson." As the butcher was hurried off to the Curfew Tower, the king proceeded with his attendants to the Garter Tower, and ascended to its summit. In less than ten minutes a stout pole, like the mast of a ship, was thrust through the battlements of the Curfew Tower, on the side looking towards the town. To this pole a rope, of some dozen feet in length, and having a noose at one end, was firmly secured. The butcher was then brought forth, bound hand and foot, and the noose was thrown over his neck. While this was passing, the wretched man descried a person looking at him from a window in a wooden structure projecting from the side of the tower. "What, are you there, Morgan Fenwolf?" he cried. "Remember what passed between us in the dungeon last night, and be warned l You will not meet your end as firmly as I meet mine?' "Make thy shrift quickly, fellow, if thou hast aught to say," interposed one of the halberdiers. "I have no shrift to make," rejoined the butcher. "I have already settled my account with Heaven. God preserve Queen Catherine!" As he uttered these words, he was thrust off from the battlements by the halberdiers, and his body swung into the abyss amid the hootings and execrations of the spectators below. Having glutted his eyes with the horrible sight, Henry descended from the tower, and returned to Anne Boleyn. |

Depression - postpartum; Postnatal depression
Postpartum depression is moderate to severe depression in a woman after she has given birth. It may occur soon after delivery or up to a year later. Most of the time, it occurs within the first 3 months after delivery.
The exact causes of postpartum depression are unknown.Changes in hormone levels during and after pregnancy may affect a woman's mood. Many non-hormonal factors may also affect mood during this period:
You may have a higher chance of postpartum depression if you:
Feelings of anxiety, irritation, tearfulness, and restlessness are common in the week or two after pregnancy. These feelings are often called the postpartum or "baby blues." These symptoms almost always go away soon, without the need for treatment.
Postpartum depression may occur when the baby blues do not fade away or when signs of depression start 1 or more months after childbirth.
The symptoms of postpartum depression are the same as the symptoms of depression that occurs at other times in life. Along with a sad or depressed mood, you may have some of the following symptoms:
A mother with postpartum depression may also:
There is no single test to diagnose postpartum depression. Diagnosis is based on the symptoms you describe to your doctor or nurse.
Women with postpartum depression should have blood tests to screen for medical causes of depression.
A new mother who has any symptoms of postpartum depression should contact their doctor or nurse right away to get help.
Here are some other helpful tips:
The treatment for depression after birth often includes medication, therapy, or both. Whether or not you are breast-feeding will play a role in what medicine your doctor recommends. You may be recommended to a mental health specialist. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and interpersonal therapy (IPT) are types of talk therapy that often help postpartum depression.
Support groups may be helpful, but they should not replace medication or talk therapy if you have postpartum depression.
Having good social support from family, friends, and coworkers may help reduce the seriousness of postpartum depression.
Medication and professional talk therapy can often successfully reduce or eliminate symptoms.
If left untreated, postpartum depression can last for months or years.
The potential long-term complications are the same as in major depression. Untreated, postpartum depression may put you at risk of harming yourself or your baby.
Call your doctor if you experience any of the following:
Do not be afraid to seek help immediately if you feel overwhelmed and are afraid that you may hurt your baby.
Having good social support from family, friends, and coworkers may help reduce the seriousness of postpartum depression, but may not prevent it.
Women who had postpartum depression after past pregnancies may be less likely to develop postpartum depression again if they start taking antidepressant medications after they deliver. Talk therapy may also be helpful in preventing it.

The Brass Sisters; Zen Baking; The Food Snob's Dictionary
Produced by:
The Brass Sisters cook up the past using abandoned recipes of long ago, while Saveur editor James Oseland shares Asian-inspired Thanksgiving ideas and Zen priest and chef Edward Espe Brown bakes with a Zen state of mind. Former line cooks Alex Brown and Evan George don't cook meat, however, writer Laurel Fantauzzo goes on a quest to find succulent pork sandwiches. Plus, authors David Kamp and Marion Rosenfeld deconstruct "the food snob" and birth mother of authentic Chinese cuisine Cecilia Chiang remembers her culinary journey by way of The Mandarin. And as always, Laura Avery serves up a fresh Market Report.
Guest Interview
The Market Report ()
Laura Avery speaks with the Fruit Detective David Karp about the avocado season in Southern California. Right now, the only avocados in season are the Mexicola variety, which is a root stock that not many people grow. It's very thin purple-black skin can be eaten when the fruit is soft. The taste is slightly watery with an anise note.
Laura also speaks with Jean Francois Meteigner, who's going crazy for Sugar Baby pumpkins. The chef-owner of La Cachette roasts the pumpkins whole, removes the top and seeds, scoops out the flesh and purees it in a Cuisinart. He hangs the puree in the refrigerator in a strainer or cheese cloth for two days to get all the water out. (Save the water and you can reduce it into a pumpkin honey.) The puree is great to use in a quiche or pumpkin pie with no white sugar, only honey as a sweetener.
La Cachette's Recipe for Pumpkin Quiche
- 2 cups of fresh pumpkin puree (not fresh out of the can!)
- 2 cups of half and half
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 5 whole eggs
- 4 Tablespoons Parmesan cheese
Mix pumpkin puree with half and half, cayenne pepper, salt and all the eggs. Pre-cook Pate Brisee (see recipe below) half way and add quiche mix inside. Cook for 30 minutes at 350°F in a convection oven. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and cook another 15 minutes.
La Cachette's Recipe for Pate Brisee
- 9 ozs all purpose flour (about 1 ¾ cup)
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 4 1/2 ozs (1/2 cup plus 1 Tablespoon) very cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup cold water
Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the plastic or metal blade. Pulse to mix, and then add the butter and pulse on and off very quickly 4 or 5 times, just until the mixture resembles large breadcrumbs. Remove the cover and drizzle the water evenly over the mixture then pulse again until the dough forms a rough shaggy mass on the center stem. Do not overwork. Bring the dough together into a ball on a lightly floured surface, then wrap well with plastic and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before rolling out.
The dough will keep, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for 3 days and in the freezer for 3 months. If frozen, let the dough stand at room temperature for about 3 hours before rolling out. Use as directed in recipe.
For vegans, substitute organic margarine for butter.
Last week we talked about how to make a garlic confit with 50 raw garlic cloves. One of our listeners wrote to us with a warning about garlic infused oil and it's link to potentially fatal botulism. Some precautions to take in order to avoid botulism in oil infusions are:
- Wash all soil-contaminated produce before adding it to an oil infusion
- Add an acidifying agent such as lemon juice or vinegar to the recipe at the rate of one tablespoon per cup of oil
- Keep oil infusions refrigerated in order to retard the growth of any microbes
- Discard infusions after one week, or sooner if apparent cloudiness, gas bubbles, or foul odor develop
- When in doubt, throw it out

The Brass Sisters ()
Food historians Marilynn and Sheila Brass cook up the past by using abandoned recipes of long ago in their book, Heirloom Baking. The Brass Sisters have amassed a collection of heirloom recipes that transcend the ingredients to become living histories of the people who created them.
Lannie's Lord Have Mercy Sweet Potato Pie (1920's)
The recipe for this outstanding Sweet Potato Pie comes from Yvette Gooding. It is the pie her maternal grandmother, Lannie Waters Edmondson, made for special family gatherings. Mrs. Edmondson, a native of Kinston, North Carolina, taught Yvette how to bake when she was just seven years old. The late Mrs. Edmondson is remembered for having a saying for every occasion and a wonderful sense of humor too.
Makes 2 pies, 8 – 10 slices per pie
- 2 unbaked pie shells
- 2 1/2 lb raw sweet potatoes
- ¾ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp cloves
- ½ tsp ginger
- 1 tsp salt
1. Set the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Place prepared sweet potatoes in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With mixer running on low, add butter. Add brown sugar and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time. Add heavy cream and vanilla. Do not overbeat. Add cinnamon, cloves, ginger, and salt.
3. Pour batter into pie shells. Bake for about 1 hour, or until a tester inserted into pie comes out clean. The center of the pie should wiggle a bit. Cool 2 to 3 hours on a rack. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Store covered with a paper towel and plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
How to Prepare Sweet Potatoes for Pie
- Preparing the sweet potatoes for Mrs. Edmondson's pie is worth the effort. Select large sweet potatoes, prick them with a fork, and place them on a foiled-covered (shiny-side up) metal baking pan that has been coated with vegetable spray. Bake in a 400°F oven for 1 hour.
Place the baking pan on a cooling rack. Carefully cut the hot sweet potatoes in half lengthwise so that they will cool more quickly. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the insides (discard the skins) and place them in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Weigh the sweet potato pulp after scooping it, since the size and weight are hard to discern with your eyes alone. Process until the potatoes are soft and fluffy.
For two pies, you will need 2 ½ lb. or 40 oz. raw sweet potatoes to make 22 oz of processed cooked sweet potato--approximately four large potatoes to start. Do not use canned sweet potatoes because freshly baked potatoes still retain some of their fiber.
Grandma's Secret Warm Banana Meringue Pudding (1950's)
Yvette Gooding learned to make this pudding when baking in the kitchen with her grandmother Lannie. Marilyn and Sheila doubled the recipe, and were rewarded with a dessert that tastes—and looks—spectacular! Guess the secret is out!
Makes 16 generous servings
For the Custard
- 1 ¼ cups sugar
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 egg yolks
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 10 ounces vanilla wafers
- 6 to 8 ripe bananas, sliced crosswise
For the Meringue
- 8 egg whites
- ¼ tsp cream of tartar
- ½ cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1. Set the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch by 13-inch ovenproof glass baking dish with vegetable spray.
2. To make the custard: Sift sugar, flour, and salt into a large heavy pan. Add milk and heavy cream and mix thoroughly. Add egg yolks one at a time, blending well after each. Cook mixture over medium to medium-high heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, for about 10 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and strain through sieve. Add vanilla to cooked custard.
3. Spread a small amount of custard on bottom of baking dish. Swirl to cover evenly. Cover with half of vanilla wafers. Cover wafers with half of bananas and press down gently with your palm.
4. Pour a generous layer of custard on top of wafers. Add remaining wafers and bananas in two layers. Pour remaining custard on top, smoothing with spatula so that all wafers and bananas are covered. Press down again gently with the palm of your hand. Bake pudding in oven for 10 minutes.
5. To make the meringue: Add egg whites and cream of tartar to bowl of standing mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on low speed. Gradually increase speed to medium until soft peaks form. Add sugar in thirds while increasing speed of mixer to high. Beat until stiff peaks are formed. Meringue should not be dry.
6. Remove pudding from oven and mound meringue on top, spreading until entire surface is covered. (Be sure to seal edges.) Return pudding to oven for about 20 minutes, checking every 5 minutes to be sure it does not burn. Remove from oven and place on rack to cool. Serve when slightly warm. Store leftover pudding in the refrigerator.

Guest Interview
Asian-Themed Thanksgiving ()
Saveur magazine's editor-in-chief James Oseland shares Asian-inspired Thanksgiving ideas. He suggests creating a turkey marinade by combining black soy sauce (soy sauce that's been brewed a bit longer than the regular kind, giving it a more molasses-like consistency), Worcestershire sauce, whole-star anise pods, cinnamon sticks, black pepper and small Asian shallots. Marinate the turkey at room temperature for a few hours before roasting.
Some of Oselands other ideas include:
-add a pinch of candied ginger, julienned into fine slivers. Take care not add too much because a little ginger goes a long way.
-visit your local Asian market and buy long beans. Substitute them in a green bean casserole.
-try red rice pudding as a delicious dessert alternative to pumpkin pie. Boil rice until it gets soft and glutenous, add sugar and a pinch of salt. Before serving, drizzle the rice with a bit of thick coconut milk.

How To Cook Your Life ()
Edward Espe Brown believes that cooking can be a meditative experience. A Zen priest and chef, he prepares food according to the principles of Zen Buddhism. Practitioners find that this attention to detail and precise hand movements allows the brain to let go and experience true meditation, thereby reaching enlightenment. Brown's teachings inspired the film, How To Cook Your Life, which opens November 16 at Laemmle's Sunset 5. Brown, who holds meditation and cooking classes around the world--including at the Tassajara Zen Center in northern California, is the author of The Tassajara Bread Book.
