Absolutely gross! It was really dry and tasteless. I've given up on Bobby Deens lighter recipes. This is the 2nd one that I have been burned on...never again!

I have to say this is a really good alternative to the normal high calorie and fat mac and cheese I always crave I really feel better about eating this version and I used greek yogurt instead of sour cream to up the protein. Thanks!

Tried this the other night and it was FABULOUS!!! My husband (the king of mac n cheese) even liked it! It does need a little more moisture, looking forward to playing around with this one! I seasoned my own plain breadcrumbs (it was all I had) and they turned out great! I think I used Italian Seasoning and Paula's House Seasoning (I forgot to write it down, I just used what seemed good to me at the time). I used egg substitute instead of the real thing (trying to cut back), that could have been it, but it was still very good! The portion was huge, I cut it in half and that was plenty. Thanks Bobby, keep them comming!
By Judi Collins on July 22, 2011
Makes a great meal. The only adjustment I would make a second time around is just a little less salt and Dijon mustard, probably use half as much of both. The combination of both is very strong and almost overpowers the cheese.

This was a disaster. it was so dry and tasteless that no one wanted to eat it. it definitely needs more cheese and probably something to make it creamier. I guess there are some dishes that shouldn't be messed with. Should have made Paula's original recipe.

great recipe

I made this with mini shells & the kids loved it - never knew it was low fat! Thanks Bobby!!! P.S. Need to mention size of casserole dish. Also, hard to determine post-cooking measurement of pasta when measuring the dry stuff (would be helpful if pasta boxes had this info!).

Description | Silver-gilt beaker with flared cylindrical bowl on a slightly domed foot. The body is engraved with personifications of the three Theological Virtues within strapwork cartouches. Faith is depicted with a font, cross and book, Hope with a crow, an anchor and a ship in the background and Charity with an infant and two children. Engraved garlands of fruit and foliage with parrots hang between the cartouches and further exotic birds, insects and snails are engraved around the lower body. The rim is engraved with an arabesque border that incorporates a lion and a stag hunt. A spiked collar runs around the base. | |||||||||||||||||||||
Marks and inscriptions |
Notes | This is a rare and early example of silver made at Dokkum in the northern Dutch province of Friesland. Beakers of the same type were also made in the neighbouring province of Groningen. They were often used as communion cups: the band of spikes that runs around the base may represent the Crown of Thorns worn by Jesus Christ at the Crucifixion. The goldsmith Gerrijt Remmerus was born in Kollum, Friesland and moved to Dokkum in 1633. This beaker is engraved with a double coat of arms dated 1636 that probably commemorates a marriage. Sir T. W. Holburne acquired four further seventeenth century Dutch beakers (S390, S391, S392, S394) and a brandy bowl made in Dokkum (S380). |

anyone have any luck with checking this method out?? I have a 60gb ps3 which is the asian version so I cant play UK or US games on it.
EDIT: I have tried this and it isn't working at all.
Are you trying to make other region games work on your PS3? Because it is possible for the PS3 to play I think any region bluRay game on any PS3 region. I put in I think in any region PS3/any region BluRay game because I have only confirmed this on a US region PS3. (PS3 BluRay Games as of right now only because they are region free) Here's how I can confirm this; I have a US region PS3 and I wasn't able to load this EU region Fallout New Vegas SAVEDATA because my Fallout New Vegas game was US region, so I started trying stuff out to see if I can make the EU region SAVEDATA load up on my US region fallout New Vegas game but it's not possible, but I Found this method out that works. (Not to load up an EU Region SAVEDATA on a US Fallout New Vegas game but to play an EU game on a US region PS3) I was able to play with the EU SAVEDATA after that on My US region PS3 today! In other words the PS3 can play other region games because I was able to play an EU region game on my US region PS3! I haven't tried messing around with PS1, PS2 or bluRay movies but it would be interesting to make them region free or at least find out a method that will allow other region bluRay movies/ps1/ps2 disks work on any region PS3.
Here's something interesting: http://www.ps3news.com/forums/ps3-gu...ve-119260.html that's not the method I did. I don't know if other people have discovered this method I know of, and if they have I don't know if there is a TUT on it, but I'm not releasing a TUT or say how to do it because it might be against SONY's PS3 agreements whatever and I don't want to get SUED nor go to jail just for making the PS3 better than it is…

Analyst: Blame Investors for High Gas Prices
Contango Futures
An example of how the investing strategy works:
- Buy oil today for $71
- Sell a 6-month futures contract on the oil -- for $76
- In six months, collect the $5 profit
- Annual return: 14 percent -- at very little risk
Everyone knows that oil prices are high because demand in places like China has boomed while supply has remained stagnant or fallen. But some oil analysts are focusing on a different issue: the amount of oil that's being held off the market in storage.
These analysts say the oil market has created big incentives to hold on to oil rather then sell it.
The steady increase in the price of oil is usually explained in a fairly straightforward way. Fast growth in China and India has created a market in which supply just barely matches demand. And in a market sensitive to possible disruptions, anything from political unrest in Nigeria to corroded pipelines in Alaska can bring a spike in prices.
That's the typical explanation. But some in the industry think it's too simple. They say other factors are just as important as the relationship between demand and supply. Chief among them is "contango," a market term for the situation in which a commodity — like oil — has a higher future value than its current price.
Oil companies and others like to buy futures contracts to make sure they've got oil coming to them well into the future. But lately, people who have nothing to do with the oil industry are buying oil futures, holding them as can't-lose investments that can return well over 10 percent.
Investment banks from Morgan Stanley to Goldman Sachs are making so much money from oil futures that they've become a hot investment for all sorts of big-money players.
Some of the biggest players are U.S. pension funds, which have put billions of dollars into oil futures. At least one analyst thinks that pension funds have become part of the machinery driving higher gas prices.
"I think if you saw all the pension funds walk away," says Ben Dell, an oil analyst at Sanford Bernstein, "you'd probably see a $20 drop in the crude price."
Dell compares removing pension funds from the oil market to "losing the whole of Chinese incremental demand."
The problem, he says, is that pension funds and other investors are buying oil to remove it from the market — which can help drive up demand — before selling it for a profit some months later.
Dell believes that when the world's oil storage capacity is met, bankers and fund managers will look elsewhere for profits. That, he says, would almost certainly benefit consumers.
There are many oil analysts who disagree, though. They say oil prices will stay high as long as there is trouble in the Middle East. And that could be for a very long time.

The Lancers defeated the Sunbirds 3-1 on the road, playing through some tense moments in the second half to get the win.
"Getting a hard fought win like this against a solid team is a great way to start the conference season," said CBU Head Coach Kristen St. Clair. "We did a great job playing through the ebbs and flows of the game even when things got difficult in the second half. Overall I thought we created some great scoring opportunities throughout the entire game."
CBU dominated the pace of play and possession in the opening half, going up 2-0 before the break.
Lindsay Vesling assisted on a pair of goals for the Lancers as CBU out-shot the Sunbirds 13-3 and got six balls on target in the first period.
Vesling fed Daelyn Paul right in front of the goal for an open look in the 25th minute for the first score of the game. Just over seven minutes late Vesling volleyed a ball to Bernadette Witz near the top of the box, who buried a one-touch shot out of the air and off the post.
Witz and Paul both have three goals on the season. Vesling has three assists this year.
"Lindsay played great for us tonight," said St. Clair. "She did a good job controlling the tempo of the game and helping us expose their defense when we got chances."
The comfortable 2-0 cushion didn't last, however, as FPU found the back of the net in the 64th minute. Haley Tallon scored her first goal of the season on the third shot of the half taken by the Sunbirds.
The score came after CBU keeper Rosie Nakata had already made a brilliant save on a one-on-one opportunity.
Three more strikes from the home team would miss the mark before Kimberly Allard sealed the win with her first goal of the season in the 87th minute. Kelly Jenks assisted on the score.
Jenks headed the ball forward, breaking Allard lose to beat just the goalkeeper for the score.
"We're playing better every game," said St. Clair. "The goal is to just keep improving and keep working hard. It's a long season."
The 3-1 win gives CBU six goals in their last two games. The Lancers had given up four goals in their opening two games and have since held Claremont Mudd-Scripps and FPU to a goal apiece.
The Lancers move to 2-1-1 overall, 1-0 PacWest with the win. CBU continues conference play Saturday in Oakland, facing Holy Names.

The Need at Home
"In the State of California it costs about $620 a month to kennel a dog. At the same time it costs the state government about $494 to pay a foster family for one month of care for a child in the foster care system."
Foster care is truly an indispensable and important system in our society. Its focus on providing stable homes for those in need has helped many children escape hardship and abuse. It serves as a safety net for thousands of vulnerable children who would otherwise have nowhere else to go when their families fail them. At the same time, the alarming numbers of foster care alumni who have limited success after care demonstrate that the United States foster care system is far from perfect. For too many, foster care is not a safe haven, but rather a place where they are again exposed to the instability, neglect or even worse, the abuse that led to their being removed from the care of their families.
According to data from the Adoption and Foster Care Reporting System (AFCARS), there 463,000 children living in foster care in the United States. Over 52,000 of these children and youth have called the system "home" for 5 or more years. 123,000 of the children are waiting to be adopted. While the average number of placements is 2, some children experience as many as 15 moves while in care.
In 2008, 29,500 children "aged out" of foster care without ever having found a permanent family to call their own. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the outcomes for the majority of young people who "age out" of care are not good. Just over 50% earned a high school diploma and only 3% went on to obtain a college degree. On the other hand, roughly, 84% will become parents outside of marriage, 51% will be unemployed, 30% will survive on public assistance and 25% will experience homelessness at some point.
Due in part to federal incentives, states have made progress in increasing the number of children adopted out of foster care each year. Last year, 55,000 children exited foster care through adoption. Those still waiting are typically eight years of age or older, are members of a sibling group, or have special medical needs.
While the statistics alone are depressing, what is even more disturbing is that this has been the reality in U.S. foster care for over a decade. For there to be the type of transformational change needed, the following challenges must be addressed:
Foster and Adoptive Parent Recruitment:
Statistically speaking, there is no lack of supply of suitable homes for children in need. According to the National Council for Adoption (NCFA), there are 55-million married-couple households in the U.S. and only a little over half a million children in need of foster homes4. At the same time, according to AdoptUSKids, the number of available foster homes has declined approximately 4% and continues to decline.
The reasons for this disparity are many. First, states are either not willing or unable to invest the resources needed to develop and implement effective recruitment strategies. In a September 2007 report on parent recruitment and training, National Council for Adoption states that while 22% of children in foster care are waiting to be adopted, states are spending on average only 1.2 percent to 1.3 percent of available federal funds on parent recruitment and training services. Second, research shows that there is still a negative stigma attached to foster children, making potential foster parents unsure of their ability to parent a "problem child." Finally, the foster care system is not equipped to provide the level of training or support that parenting a child moving through the foster system requires.
Child Welfare Workforce Development:
According to the APHSA Child Welfare Workforce survey, on average 8.5% of positions in child protective services remain vacant. Such a high number of vacancies inevitably leads to heavier workloads for the hired workers. Making matters worse, an average child protective service worker's tenure is only three years, meaning that some workers are "in foster care" less time than 70,000 of the children they serve. The average salary for a caseworker working in child welfare is $35,553 and a front line supervisor is paid only $44,232. Because of numbers such as these, youth in the system are left with a workforce that is overstretched and under resourced. Very few have both the time and expertise necessary to play the role that they are intended to play.
Foster Care Financing Reform:
Under current law there are several funding streams targeted at serving the needs of children in foster care and their families including: Title IV-E, Title IV-B, Promoting Safe and Stable Families, Adoption Assistance and Independent Living. Each of these streams comes with different requirements, serves different populations and has varied purposes. Some of this funding is discretionary, which means that the amount of money available to states is dependent on annual appropriations and some are entitlements, meaning that the states are entitled by law to receive these funds.
Unfortunately, states may access dollars under Title IV-E, the principal source of federal child welfare funding, only after children have entered foster care. Of the $7.2 billion federal funds dedicated for child welfare in 2007, approximately 90 percent supported children in foster care placements ($4.5 billion) and children adopted from foster care ($2.0 billion). States can use only about 10 percent of federal dedicated child welfare funds flexibly for family services and supports, including prevention or reunification services. For some time, advocates have pushed for greater flexibility of current federal IV-E funding is critical to ensuring that case workers and other professionals can deliver services that are tailored to meet the needs of each child and family they serve.
Post Adoption Services:
Although promising programs and informal supports have helped children and families in the states where they are in place, the typical experience of adoptive families is that it is difficult to obtain post adoption services. In one study, more than three-quarters of adoptive families (77.3 percent) said that they needed one or more post-adoption clinical services. When asked if they actually received services, there were marked discrepancies between the percentage of families who needed services and the percentage who actually received them. Almost 57 percent of the families, for example, said that they needed child guidance and mental health services, but only 26 percent reported actually receiving these services.
The cost of these services, particularly residential treatment, may force families to relinquish custody of their children to child welfare agencies so that the children can receive necessary support. In at least half the states, parents must choose between getting the mental health treatment their children need by relinquishing custody to the state or retaining custody of their children and forgoing critically needed mental health services. (Excerpted from NACAC Report on Post Adoption Services July 2007)

Ric Ocasek
Ocasek has the apparitional look of Ichabod Crane and a vocal style that features a David Bowie-Bob Dylan kind of talk-singing. This is no pop idol. That puts a larger-than-usual burden on the lyrics and melodies of his songs. He can write clever lyrics such as this, about one Pink Flag Joe, who has "conversations with people/ For the sheer effect/ And he says he's a product/ Of gross neglect." He can write entrancing melodies and rhythmic lines, tying them together with synthesizer effects, as he does on Emotion in Motion. He can also, however, lapse into banalities: "And when she wakes up/ From her sleep/ I want to tell her/ It's for keeps." It's as if the remnants of a teenage rocker are still battling the mature songwriter (Ocasek is about 40), creating a strange tension that has made his solo albums attention-grabbing but hardly soul-satisfying. He's backed here by varying groups of musicians. Among them are Greg Hawkes, Elliot Easton and Ben Orr, Ocasek's old pals from the Cars. The group is in limbo, not having made an album in a couple of years, but has not been junked. While Ocasek could get by on his own, he might keep the group going to stay in touch with his commercial roots. (Geffen)

Attach Your Camera To.... Anything
It is not a secret that I am a big fan of using 1/4" bolts on just about anything to create ad-hoc tripods.
However, this one by Brian Green tops them all.
Brian is the type of guy that hikes, bikes and generally enjoys the good life (I mean the really good life, not the ones that you enjoy on the couch watching Lost).
Brian used some parts from a bicycle tail light to create a rig that will mount on his bicycle handle bars. This alone is a cool concept as it will allow Brian to take great videos of him riding, as well as some great POV and slow shutter speed shots.
But, this does not end here. With this device, you can attach a P&S to almost anything. Remember the aerial tripod? this will convert any stick to an instant high-above-the-planet image taking device.
I am also thinking flash mounting device on door handles, bars and what not.
As a side bonus from reading Brian's blog, I got to know the stickpic - a tripod that get attached to your walking stick. If you're a hiker - you are going to love it.

Donuts are like steaks to me, if I could eat one (or more) every day I would. They both are often coated on the outside with some sort of seasoning and then cooked to perfection on the inside. Steaks, like donuts, consumed in vast quantity are probably not good for you, but when done right […]

CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION The specific project will influence the constraints on which the project manager needs to focus. 1 The relationship among these factors is such that if any one factor changes, at least one other factor is likely to be affected. For example, if the schedule is shortened, often the budget needs to be increased to add additional resources to complete the same amount of work in less time. If a budget increase is not possible, the scope or quality may be reduced to deliver a product in less time for the same budget. Project stakeholders may have differing ideas as to which factors are the most important, creating an even greater challenge. Changing the project requirements may create additional risks. The project team must be able to assess the situation and balance the demands in order to deliver a successful project. Because of the potential for change, the project management plan is iterative and goes through progressive elaboration throughout the project's life cycle. Progressive elaboration involves continuously improving and detailing a plan as more-detailed and specific information and more accurate estimates become available. Progressive elaboration allows a project management team to manage to a greater level of detail as the project evolves. 1.4 Relationships Among Project Management, Program Management, and Portfolio Management

By Eric Wendt
Let's start at the beginning, shall we? Jeff Schneeweis and Trevor Sellers were both part of Number One Gun, a solid pop-punk outfit that got signed to Tooth & Nail Records. In 2006 Number One Gun dissolved while the members of the band moved on to different projects (The North Pole Project, Armed for Apocalypse, Surrogate). While all this was happening, a Number One Gun fan and insanely talented athlete named Aaron Rodgers was following his trajectory to become the quarterback for one of the most storied franchises in American football: the Green Bay Packers. Around the same time that Schneeweis began writing a batch of dance-y, upbeat songs, Rodgers was becoming Super Bowl champion and MVP. While Schneeweis was reaching out to Sellers and Sarah Ann (of the band See You Soon) to round out the group, Rodgers was looking to start a new venture very close to his heart: a record label. So as The Make was born, so was Suspended Sunrise Recordings. The stars aligned and now the arguably most popular athlete in the country is pushing a group of musical veterans toward the spotlight. Is the band feeling the pressure? According to Schneeweis, the answer is "not at all." Now that The Make has released their debut EP, This Box, things are moving into high gear. Lead vocalist Jeff Schneeweis was nice enough to chat with Synthesis about the band's formation, their new EP, and the insanity that comes with being pushed by the current Super Bowl champ.
How did The Make come together?
After I had written some random songs about seven months ago, Trevor and I decided that we wanted to play music together again. And in the midst of starting everything, we asked Sarah Ann to join the band with us.
Tell me about This Box.
This Box is about all of our friends breaking out of the small town mentality. For the last 10 years we have all supported and stuck by each other. We seriously have the best group of friends in the world. And it's because of this that we get to all do what we love.
What was the process like as far as songwriting?
I actually wrote mostly everything on the EP. The songs were almost done even before we were a band. Then we added Trevor's bass and Sarah's vocals into the mix at the end of the writing process.
Listening to This Box, each song sounds ready for radio. It's a big departure from some of the more abrasive, punk-inspired songs you've written in the past. Do you think your songwriting has changed and matured along with you? How does what you want to get across musically change as you grow up? Is this question just way too long?
Well, I do feel I have matured as a songwriter. But at the same time, this is the first time I've really gotten to write exactly the style I love! Because I had no idea this was going to turn into a band. So I was just at liberty to do whatever felt great without label people or industry people telling me what to do.
How did the band hook up with Suspended Sunrise Recordings?
We have known Aaron Rodgers and Ryan Zachary for a long time. And the timing for both of us was great. The best part is that we both do not want to do this the traditional way. We want to find new ways and better ways to go about the music industry.
How important has social media been for the band? It seems like you've been tailor-made for the Facebook age.
Social media is the best thing that has ever happened to the music industry and we are taking full advantage of all the resources out there. It's amazing to me that with a click of a button, we can have our first show ever, online! And have over 1,000 people watching from wherever they are at. We love social media.
People can find the record on Amazon and iTunes, but are there any plans for a physical copy?
There are plans in the works about physical copies, but the main focus is digital.
How strange has this all been? I mean, it's almost like things are working in reverse for you. Most groups don't get name dropped on Jimmy Kimmel this early on.
Ha, yes, this is pretty crazy, how fast things are moving. It's definitely a different process than the other bands we have been in. It's pretty exciting because everything is very fast-paced with this band and we are staying busy.
It feels like there's a lot of momentum for the band right now. What's the next step?
Our next step is recording a full-length in August and planning on touring and releasing the full-length in the fall.
Pick up The Make's This Box on Amazon or iTunes. Head to www.themakemusic.com for more info, as well as the band's debut video.

Nursing Home and Elder Abuse
The state of California has identified Elders, or the elderly or seniors, and Dependent adults as a special class who should be given additional protection by our laws to prevent their being abused and taken advantage of because of their age and/or physical, emotional or mental disability. Elders, or seniors, are defined as those people aged 65 and older who live in a care or custodial setting such as a nursing home, assisted living facility or who are receiving care at home. Dependant adults include people aged 18-64 if they are dependent - meaning that there is something physically, emotionally or mentally disabling to them and they have to be dependent upon others.
What is Elder and/or Dependent abuse?
It is the neglect, exploitation or "painful or harmful" mistreatment of anyone who is 65 or older (or any disabled dependent adult aged 18-64). It can involve physical violence, psychological abuse, isolation, abandonment, abduction, false imprisonment or a care giver's neglect. It could also involve the unlawful taking of a senior's money or property. See the
California State Bar site
for a pamphlet.
Under Cal. Penal Code 368 -
occurs when any person who, under circumstances or conditions likely to produce great bodily harm or death, willfully causes or permits any elder or dependent adult, with knowledge that he or she is an elder or a dependent adult, to suffer, or inflicts thereon unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, or having the care or custody of any elder or dependent adult, willfully causes or permits the person of health of the elder or dependent adult to be injured, or willfully causes or permits the elder or dependent adultto be placed in a situatio nin which his or her person or health ins endangered.
"Abuse of an elder or dependent adult"
Under Cal. Penal Code 15610.07 - means either of the following:
Physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, or other treatment with resulting physical harm or pain or mental suffering.
The deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering. Such includes physical abuse ,neglect, financial abuse ,abandonment, isolation, abduction, or other treatment with resulting physical harm or pain or mental suffering and/or the deprivation by a care custodian of goods or services that are necessary to avoid physical harm or mental suffering.
under Cal. Penal code 15610.57(b):
Failure to assist in personal hygiene, or in the provision of food, clothing or shelter.
Failure to provide medical care for physical and mental health needs. No person shall be deemed neglected or abused for the sole reason that he or she voluntarily relies on treatment by spiritual means through prayer alone in lieu of medical treatment.
Failure to protect from health and safety hazards.
Failure to prevent malnutrition or dehydration.
Failure of an elder or dependent adult to satisfy the needs specified in paragraphs (1) - (4), inclusive, for himself or herself as a result of poor cognitive functioning, mental limitation, substance abuse, or chronic poor health.
Elderly people and dependent adults become the victims of abuse and neglect when nursing homes or dependent adult and assisted living facilities either intentionally injure or fail to protect them from dangers that result in injury. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the primary types of elder abuse and neglect involve emotional, physical, and verbal abuse and neglect, and financial abuse.
Most elder abuse and neglect occurs in understaffed and overcrowded long-term care facilities. Frequently, elderly residents require assistance dealing with complex medical issues as well as daily personal needs. Unfortunately, caregivers often are overworked, underpaid, and poorly trained - conditions that can lead to abuse.
Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether your elderly loved one is simply aging, or has been a victim of nursing home abuse and neglect. The following list describes the most common types of elder neglect and abuse:
Physical, Sexual and Emotional Abuse
Physical, Emotional or Verbal Neglect
Nursing Home Falls
Malnutrition, dehydration, excessive weight loss
The following agencies are resources to aid and assist you in ensuring that your loved ones are protected from nursing home, dependent adult or assisted living facility abuse and neglect in California:
Department of health Services, Licensing and Certification, (CDHS)
The California Department of Health Services administers investigations into complaints, as well as licensing, and certification surveys on skilled nursing facilities, acute care facilities, and transitional care centers. Annual survey results of these facilities as well as results of investigations are available for public viewing at the CDHS office within the county where the facility is located. This is a good source of information for the general public.
To determine the district office nearest you, call (916) 445-4171. The contact number for licensing and certification is (916) 552-8700.
Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing, (CDSS)
The California Department of Social Services provides a similar function to that of CDHS, but for residential care facilities only. Results of investigations, as well as annual survey results are available at the CDSS offices within the specific county where the facility is located.
More California Government resources:
Bureau of Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse Medi-Cal Fraud and Elder Abuse
California Department of Aging
California State Long-Term Ombudsman Program
California Commission on Aging
The Nursing Home Reform Act
Elder Law is generally governed by the 1987 Nursing Home Reform Act, a set of laws that establish the standards of care for elder nursing homes and assisted living facilities. The Nursing Home Reform Act was adopted to protect residents from neglect, abuse, and mistreatment and commands that all facilities provide:
Individual care plans for each resident
Nursing services
Social services
Pharmaceutical and medication services
Nutritional and dietary services
In facilities with more than 120 beds, a full-time social worker
Rehabilitative services
If you believe you or your loved one is receiving substandard care, contact Berglund & Johnson immediately. California nursing home and assisted living residents can rely on Berglund & Johnson to help them in their time of need.
The Residents' Bill of Rights
The Nursing Home Reform Act guarantees the following rights to nursing home residents:
The right to freedom from abuse, mistreatment, and neglect
The right to freedom from physical restraints
The right to privacy
The right to accommodation of medical, physical, psychological, and social needs
The right to participate in resident and family groups
The right to be treated with dignity
The right to exercise self-determination
The right to communicate freely
The right to participate in the review of one's care plan, and to be fully informed in advance about any changes in care, treatment, or change of status in the facility
The right to voice grievances without discrimination or reprisal
If any of these rights are violated, the nursing home resident or family member should contact Berglund & Johnson immediately to prevent further abuse and make sure your rights, or those of a family member, are fully protected.

SummaryRegulation of gene expression requires dynamic changes in chromatin, but the nature of these changes is not well understood. Here, we show that progesterone treatment of cultured cells leads to recruitment of progesterone receptor (PR) and SWI/SNF-related complexes to Mouse Mammary Tumor Virus (MMTV) promoter, accompanied by displacement of histones H2A and H2B from the nucleosome containing the receptor binding sites, but not from adjacent nucleosomes. PR recruits SWI/SNF to MMTV nucleosomes in vitro and facilitates synergistic binding of receptors and nuclear factor 1 to the promoter. In nucleosomes assembled on MMTV or mouse rDNA promoter sequences, SWI/SNF catalyzes ATP-dependent sliding of the histone octamer followed only on the MMTV promoter by displacement of histones H2A and H2B. In MMTV nucleosome arrays, SWI/SNF displaces H2A and H2B from nucleosome B and not from the adjacent nucleosome. Thus, the outcome of nucleosome remodeling by SWI/SNF depends on DNA sequence.

SummaryThe ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF regulates transcription and has been implicated in promoter nucleosome eviction. Efficient nucleosome disassembly by SWI/SNF alone in biochemical assays, however, has not been directly observed. Employing a model system of dinucleosomes rather than mononucleosomes, we demonstrate that remodeling leads to ordered and efficient disassembly of one of the two nucleosomes. An H2A/H2B dimer is first rapidly displaced, and then, in a slower reaction, an entire histone octamer is lost. Nucleosome disassembly by SWI/SNF did not require additional factors such as chaperones or acceptors of histones. Observations in single molecules as well as bulk measurement suggest that a key intermediate in this process is one in which a nucleosome is moved toward the adjacent nucleosome. SWI/SNF recruited by the transcriptional activator Gal4-VP16 preferentially mobilizes the proximal nucleosome and destabilizes the adjacent nucleosome.

AbstractWe propose a combined experimental (atomic force microscopy) and theoretical study of the structural and dynamical properties of nucleosomes. In contrast to biochemical approaches, this method allows us to determine simultaneously the DNA-complexed length distribution and nucleosome position in various contexts. First, we show that differences in the nucleoproteic structure observed between conventional H2A and H2A.Bbd variant nucleosomes induce quantitative changes in the length distribution of DNA-complexed with histones. Then, the sliding action of remodeling complex SWI/SNF is characterized through the evolution of the nucleosome position and wrapped DNA length mapping. Using a linear energetic model for the distribution of DNA-complexed length, we extract the net-wrapping energy of DNA onto the histone octamer and compare it to previous studies.

- The unusual histone variant macroH2A (mH2A) has been associated with repression of transcription, but the molecular mechanisms by which it exerts this function are unknown. Here we have identified a mechanism by which the different domains of mH2A may be involved in the repression of transcription. Evidence is presented that the presence of mH2A in a positioned nucleosome interferes with the binding of the transcription factor NF-κB. The nonhistone region of mH2A was identified to be associated with this interference. Importantly, the presence of macroH2A was found to severely impede SWI/SNF nucleosome remodeling and movement to neighboring DNA segments. This property of mH2A was demonstrated to reside only in its H2A-like domain. A hypothesis explaining the role of histone variants in transcriptional regulation is proposed.

The recipe for this amazing dessert comes from a darling person, aunt Turkan, my friend's mom. Aunt Turkan made it for one of our get-togethers here and I absolutely loved it. It was mixed fruits - plums, bananas, berries, grapes and other fruits I can't remember - lushly covered with a creamy blanket. The cream, my friends, was out of this world. Luscious and velvety, it was perfumed with lemon and vanilla - a heavenly combination. Loved it!
So here it comes. I deviated from the original recipe and used a layer of sliced banana, followed by a layer of mixed fresh fruits instead of all kinds of mixed fruits. I also used my go-to garnish - fresh mint leaves - to decorate the top. One can never go wrong with fresh berries and mint, right?
Banana and Berries with Cream
Note: If you wish, make this dessert in individual cups or glasses. Also, the cream here is pudding-thick. If you prefer a looser cream, increase the amount of milk in the recipe accordingly.
For the Cream:
2 1/4 cup whole milk
2 eggs
14 tablespoons granulates sugar (yes, I used tablespoons)
4 tablespoons flour
2 tablespoons cornstarch (substitute: potato flour)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons fine lemon zest
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
For the Fruit Layer:
5-6 bananas, cut into thick circles
3-4 cups mixed fresh raspberries, blueberries and boysenberries (or any other berries of your choice, such as strawberries)
To Garnish:
Fresh mint leaves
First, prepare the cream. In a medium saucepan combine milk, eggs, sugar, flour, cornstarch and lemon juices. Whisk thoroughly to blend, until no lumps remain. Stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, cook, until the mixture is slightly thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Add vanilla extract, lemon zest and butter. Whisk with a baloon whisk or a hand mixer, until the butter is incorporated. Set the cream aside.
Meanwhile, arrange the banana slices on the bottom of a 13 x 10 (33 x 25 cm) pyrex dish in a single layer.
Spread mixed berries on top.
Pour the warm cream over the fruits. Bring to a room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves and serve.

Deaths, house fires and safety concerns have seen the Rudd/Gillard Government and Peter Garrett take plenty of heat over the disastrous Home Insulation Program, but three damning reports released last week reveal the failed $300 million Green Loans program was mismanaged on a similar scale.
The aforementioned deaths and house fires have understandably commanded more attention, but the scope of maladministration highlighted last week show that Peter Garrett has just as much to answer for over Green Loans and seriously calls into question the capacity of this Government to deliver whatever its latest climate change policies might entail.
Of key concern is that the report of the Faulkner inquiry (conducted by former Victorian Department of Human Services secretary Patricia Faulkner) identified 149 breaches or issues with Government procurement and contracting guidelines and legislation, including deliberate and systemic breaches with allegations of kickbacks to departmental staff.
Other problems identified included poor contract management, poor financial controls, poor management controls, a faulty program design described as "unnecessarily complex and
over engineered", significant cost escalations and weak budget control, an apparent failure to factor in any interest rate rises and a lack of control over the number of assessors.
This lack of control over assessor numbers in particular has caused much pain and financial stress for those who invested their time and money in helping the environment through this Government program only to find they would not be contracted, or in any case that the work had dried up.
The Government had promised the appointment of 1000 home sustainability assessors for a program that only commenced in July 2009, but by March this year had signed contracts with 4000.
Astonishingly, a further 5000 have already trained to become assessors, many more than will ever be contracted. If they haven't already long since written off their losses and given up, these thousands are left hanging while the Government supposedly finalises plans for future contracts… if it ever lifts the freeze that's now been in place for four months!
For those who missed the recent production of the classic play Waiting for Godot, Godot still hadn't shown up by the time the curtain fell. The thousands of assessors waiting for decisions from the Minister now responsible, Penny Wong, will likely see the end to this program before any such decisions are forthcoming.
Potentially more damaging in the long term is a general loss of public confidence in Government environmental programs. At least 100,000 homeowners who had a sustainability assessment undertaken missed out on the interest-free loan of up to $10,000 that was supposed to be available to them, all because the Government never gave back their reports until after it had suddenly discontinued the loans component of its Green Loans scheme.
In fact, just 7000 loans were delivered out of the 200,000 Green Loans promised by Labor before the last election.
The election promise is a key point, not only because this constitutes a clear broken promise but because Green Loans was planned long before home insulation. Green Loans wasn't an emergency measure to stimulate the economy at the height of the global financial crisis. It wasn't an idea conceived at the last minute and rushed in order to generate jobs. Yet Resolution Consulting still found the "focus was on meeting Government expectations for the timeliness of the program delivery rather than running the program effectively and in accordance with Departmental requirements."
Green Loans was first promised in April 2007. The fact that even after being elected in November 2007, Labor had no loans on the table until July 2009 should have been a warning sign of difficulties in program development.
These are some of the reasons it is not enough to say, as Penny Wong has, that Peter Garrett had simply relied on advice, and that he later instigated some audits (long after the loans program had essentially collapsed).
Last week's reports highlight fundamental flaws in the program design, let alone its implementation and oversight, yet Peter Garrett and the Rudd/Gillard Government ploughed ahead. Peter Garrett was the Minister responsible for a bad program that he imposed on the Department, and he was the Minister responsible for overseeing its development and implementation.
Add Green Loans to Peter Garrett's record of the disastrous Home Insulation Program, plus repeated scrapping and suspension of solar programs causing uncertainty for that industry, and it is simply unbelievable that he still sits at the Cabinet table on the same Cabinet Minister's salary.
There are still two more reports on Green Loans to come in. PricewaterhouseCoopers was given the specific task back in February of auditing the assessor accreditation process and adherence to the terms of the Protocol for Assessor Accrediting Organisations between the Department and the only accrediting organisation it ever appointed.
Penny Wong must commit to publicly releasing this report also, with assessors and taxpayers footing the bills deserving to know fully what went wrong.
Those following this debacle will also eagerly await the Auditor-General's inquiry into Green Loans, due in September. If it proves to be even half as damning as the Faulkner inquiry it must surely signal that the last of Peter Garrett's many lives has been reached.
And until a Minister is made accountable for these failures, voters will be left to judge at the ballot box whether Labor can be trusted to deliver programs to address climate change and help the environment, or whether they simply inflict damage and pain on those already trying to make a difference, as well as enormous costs on taxpayers.

Bob H says:
Australia is paying a very high price so that Rudd could hang around the bald guy who sang in a group while he was at university.
Against the Man says:
The first line of this article states death and Rudd/Gillard. If Queensland health is responsible for hiring Dr Patel then Rudd/Gillard/Garrett are responsible to some extent for the insulation project failure/death/money wastage. There needs to be further investigation into this. This is serious and Gillard may have blood on her hands.
Dash says:
More evidence of the waste and incompetence of this Labor government. We cannot afford another term of this rubish. How many more failures will it take for the media and the people of Australia to wake up?
Anthony of WA says:
Labour has lost 2 of its more experienced minsters but the 2 less competant Wong and Garrett remain, If reelected just think how things will improve
DD Ball says:
I was approached by many suggesting a contract for me to help me out financially. They suggested I could use the loan to go to my home loan and reduce payments. Then they said I had to use the loan to buy green products, like energy efficient light bulbs etc, and to get rid of my air conditioning. I don't use air conditioning a lot, but I will keep it. It wasn't going to do what I had been told to use it for. I had no desire to buy green products .. I already supported a now defunct green energy outfit who used my money to buy al gore dvd's. The entire scheme was conceived as a rip off, and implemented as one too.
Super D says:
Well should we really be surprised? I mean seriously, this is the department of the environment - staffed by aging hippies and youthful activists. Can we be at all surprised that they have a limited capacity to manage programs? These people would be used to flitting from one noble cause to the next with the luxury of moving on when a new cause popped up.
I would suggest that just as companies such as Woolworths and McDonalds require their managers to have face to face experience dealing with the public all public servants should be required to spend time at the tax office or centrelink. These agencies are used to people trying to scam them on a daily basis, the wood ducks at the environment department clearly were not.
ibast says:
I've never rated the insulation debate as a credible issue. To me it was a public service bungle and not something that should derail a government of a good portion of it's term in office. The media has a lot to answer for here.
The light-globe issue is one that sh!ts me to tears however. This was government (Garret's) police and it provides no net benefit. All it doesn't is make life difficult for me.
kwaka says:
Rip off?? How is an interest free loan a rip off? We used the $10k loan to install 12 solar panels on our roof, which will reduce our energy bills, and make our small contribution to reducing the load on the grid. If you had no intention of using it for what it was designed for, why would you apply for it? If you didn't apply for it, and didn't use it, what is your problem?
Mr Pastry says:
I can only think that Jools has not already presented the tax payers with his head on a stick because she can't find a venue big enough.
greenvalue says:
A real shame is the fact that for every dodgy Home Sustainability Assessor (doing the Green Loan assessment) there were at least 2 or 3 people working in the field who are seriously interested in a more sustainable future and giving people the right and knowlegable advice.
Now every one of them is either out of work, or seriously "under-employed", since Penny Wong has capped assessments to a maximum of 5 per week for each contracted assessor.
And it's sad how many low-income households, who were keen to implement changes, have missed out on their Green Loan funding to invest in cleaner and energy-saving devices (solar hot water, under floor insulation, proper shading, etc. = all in the recommendation list).A frustrated assessor who will not vote for this Labour (bofw < you decipher)
Bruce says:
The issues regarding Green Loans is a pandoras box. The problems associated with it are much the same problems as the "Bats" and BER schemes. I believe if we dig deeper the proverbial will "hit the fan" big time. All details must be released before any election is called. Otherwise it will be very clear that the labor party wants to brush this problem and other badly managed programs under the table. The federal labor government is now becoming a mirror copy of the incompetent NSW state labor government.
Anjuli says:
Has any one noticed that Rudd put Garret in as minister but while Rudd has gone others are still there no matter what mistakes have been made,and being rewarded .This government is certainly on the nose.
Ben G says:
There are no problems with the Green Loans scheme. There were problems, but then they axed Kevin Rudd, and now there's no more problems, it's a completely different government.
Marilyn Shepherd says:
Simon Birmingham is talking utter tripe as usual. Garrett hasn't done anything remotely wrong but the Howard mob helped to start two frigging wars that have caused the deaths of nearly 2 million people.
Will you get a grip you little creepy crawly.
Joe says:
I think we are so lucky that Abbott got in and saved us from Rudd/Gillard's ETS. The ETS would be like this green loans scheme applied to the entire economy. They can't even manage 1000 of these acessors, imagine them trying to manage Gillard's ETS. There is reporting of a lot of rorting of carbon credits in Europe. This is all literaly hot air, and nonsense. Please save us from more of this.

Well, 1, it seems Mr. Cain's memory has been jogged regarding some incident where he is alleged to have conducted himself improperly, which he details on the FOX channel in an interview he recorded shortly after leaving the National Press Club, where he indicated he didn't have ANY details on any settlement figures.
He offers recollections during his FOX interview and ....
.... said that the 5 figure settlement Politico reported was far less than what he recalled the woman and her lawyer demanding:"My general counsel said this started out where she and her lawyer were demanding a huge financial settlement…I don't remember a number…But then he said because there was no basis for this, we ended up settling for what would have been a termination settlement."
This is certainly a lot more details than Cain claimed to have at his disposal yesterday when he was confronted by Politico reporter Jonathan Martin on the street and told him he "had thousands of people working for me" at different businesses over the years and could not comment "until I see some facts or some concrete evidence."

I do believe I've eaten every kind of food since I've been up here. I've been out to breakfast lunch and dinner with friends and I don't think I can eat many more meals. I'm not used to eating more then two meals a day and sometimes only one at noon and this has been a test of my perserverence. Houston is truly the "eating outest mostest" city in America!
For some reason the heat hasn't been that bad even though I HAVE been out in it. Although I must admit when I took my grandson to the zoo on Wednesday I was happily "wiping my brow" to keep the sweat from falling in my eyes. It was worth it!
So, that's it in a very tight nutshell - I'll elaborate more when I'm back "south of the border".

APR & APY: What's the Difference?
Q: I was browsing the Web, looking for some good CD deals, and kept bumping into the same problem: The interest rate and the "APY" were always a little bit different. It got me wondering, why aren't they the same? — D. Niestrom, Milwaukee
A: There is a difference between annual percentage rate and annual percentage yield.
Banks calculate both percentages differently, and that can benefit you when you're the recipient of interest — say as a CD investor. But if you're an interest rate payer — say as a credit cardholder or mortgage borrower — the difference between the two can cost you more cash at the end of the year.
Related Articles
At the crux of the matter is compound interest. APR is the interest figured on an annual basis without factoring in compound interest.
On the other hand, APY is the interest rate on the same principle, but it includes compound interest — a significantly more accurate measure of interest.
That's also why, when you're reading those about those bank CD deals on the Web (and you should be bookmarking BankingMyWay's CD Rate Search) banks tout the APY number over the APR number. You'll earn more from the APY than you will on the APR.
That's because the more frequently interest is calculated, the higher the yield will be. Let's say you buy a one-year CD worth $1,000, and let's say for the sake of the example it pays 5% interest twice a year. That means after six months you'll generate your interest payment of $25 (or $1,000 x 5% x .5 years). But the $25 generates interest too, exactly $0.625 ($25 x 5% x .5 years). What you actually have here is a CD with an APR of 5% but an APY of 5.06%.
Conversely, it's the same deal in reverse if you owe a bank interest. Let's use the credit card analogy again. Banks rely on you to pay the APY when you pay your credit card (you do that by not paying your monthly balance and instead carrying the balance for a year). But if you paid your balance off every month, you'd be paying the APR, which is cheaper. As a result of compounding, you'll pay more on your yearly credit card bill by allowing the APY to trigger in.
It sounds complicated, but the reality is that banks use APR and APY to its maximum advantage. It's only fair that you should, too. Do that by benefiting from receiving the APY as an investor (through things like CDs and savings accounts) and benefit from paying the APR as a borrower (through things like mortgages and credit cards).

text: Overview of Culture Fisheries Aquaculture is a form of agriculture that includes the cultivation, propagation and marketing of aquatic organisms. Aquaculture shares many similarities in concept to many land based agriculture industries such as cattle farming and many of the same management techniques are used in aquaculture. Like more traditional forms of agriculture the goal of aquaculture is to maximize production at a minimal cost to maintain a profit margin. Aquaculture is poised to become an important source of protein for the world's growing population. Because the capture fishing industry has peaked and is likely to decline as wild stocks are diminished, Aquaculture will become an important source of seafood products. Already nearly one third of all aquatic products consumed in the United States were produced on fish farms. Almost all of the catfish and rainbow trout, half the shrimp, and one third of all salmon consumed in the United States are raised on fish farms. The aquaculture industry of the United States, however, is very small compared to the industry in other nations. Below is a graph of the distribution of aquaculture production by volume worldwide. Aquaculture is already becoming an important factor in the world's fish markets. World aquaculture production doubled between 1984 and 1995 to nearly 21 million metric tons and was worth over $36.2 billion U.S. dollars. However, if aquaculture is to continue to grow its operations must be environmentally stable as well as profitable. This is no small challenge, as aquaculture, in its modern form and capacity is a relatively new industry and more research is required to determine at what level and in what manner aquaculture should be practiced to maintain an environmental balance. Unfortunately, many of the existing aquaculture farms were not designed to be environmentally friendly and, in some cases, no attention to the environment was given during their construction and operation. Such aquaculture projects are sources of significant biological, chemical, and nutrient pollution (click here for more information about the environmental impacts of aquaculture). If these problems are not addressed, the aquaculture industry may collapse. Despite the environmental dangers of improperly run aquaculture projects, many believe that with the right management and precautions, aquaculture farms can operate with a minimal environmental impact. An environmentally friendly operation offers many significant advantages. The first is from an energy and production standpoint. Fish farming can be ten times more efficient than other forms of agriculture, such as cattle farming. Whereas a single acre of land can produce 1,000 pounds of beef, one acre of fish farms can produce 10,000 pounds of fish. Fish are also more efficient at converting food matter into flesh than most other animals. Most fish gain 1 lbs of body mass for every two pounds of feed. In comparison the conversion rate for pork is greater than 6 lbs of feed consumed for every pound of flesh gained (verify). If aquaculture is so productive and potentially environmentally friendly, then why isn't it a much larger source of food and resources. One answer is that aquaculture in its modern form and size is a relatively new industry and is decades behind other agriculture techniques technologically. Another reason is that aquaculture, as implemented thus far, has not proven to be environmentally friendly. Aquaculture is not one set of techniques, rather it is a myriad of processes that involve the cultivation of hundreds of varieties of fish, shellfish, and aquatic plants. There are four main aquaculture techniques, pond, cage, raceway, and recirculating systems. Each of these operations is further categorized by its production output. Extensive farming operations are low density projects where little effort is used to stimulate rapid growth and development, often for environmental or economic reasons. The second category, intensive operations, apply to projects with high production densities, often the result of chemical or other inputs that increase the yield.

Dazzling Blue 18-3949 | Top Pantone Color for Spring 2014
September 9, 2013
Have you heard the news? Dazzling Blue 18-3949 has been named Pantone's top color pick for Spring, 2014. And I for one could not be more excited! Bold, elegant and all kinds of pretty, this dazzling shade of blue really is such a versatile color. And that, my friends, is why it's safe to say that you'll surely be seeing this beautiful blue shade pop up everywhere from fashion to weddings!
{blue feather headpiece | eeekdesigns, blue lace dress | shopbop, blue accented cake | brides, gorgeous garlands | oh happy day}
Because seriously, guys. What's not to love? I suggest pairing beautiful blue tones like this with shades of pink for a very preppy feel. Or you might consider pairing this shade of blue with a crisp, clean white for a more sophisticated or modern vibe. So what do you think? Are you liking this shade of blue? And if so, tell me what colors you like to see paired with this shade?

"You wont find a better hotel for the price"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 23, 2013
The service at this resort is beyond any I can compare to. Every time I look to the left or right there is a staff member there to accommodate me before I even ask, calling me sir or very often they remembered my name, that's a nice touch. The view from our balcony was amazing. I wanted everything to be perfect for my Fiance and Movenpick came through for me,they made me look good. Now that all that has been said, let me comment on the food. Wow, we dined at each of the hotel's restuarants. They give new meaning to the phrase "Fine Dining". I cant wait to book next year's trip. Freinds of ours suggested we try a couple of the other, more expensive resorts closeby, my answer was you're out of your mind, I've already found exactly the experience I was looking for, why look anywhere else. Thank you Movenpick for the time of my life.

"Very Nice small beach resort in Cebu"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 20, 2013
We had a fantastic family week here. Service (as almost everywhere in Philippines) excellent, warm and caring. Everyone from Front Desk to the ladies in the Kids Center, to the bodyguards and waiters/waitress, to the gardeners. The place is very nice and cosy. Very enjoyable. And overall good value. Yet, kind of small/compressed. From one restaurant/bar to the other is 20mts (or one floor) away. The menu is the same for the three restaurants, so after two days you know it me you want to try something else. Breakfast buffet is not that different per day. And the rooms small too. We had the "Deluxe Garden" that feels tight. Fitness center too small. Location is kind of far from everything, but with good couple of local food restaurants around. I would consider again, mostly because of the service and the kind of resort.
