Spicy Pork Burrito from Seoul TacoPosted: April 11, 2013 Filed under: All Posts, WashU Dishes Leave a comment
I have a thing for finishing lists. Food lists are, for obvious reasons, my absolute favorite. So when JP sent me RFT's 100 St. Louis Dishes You Must Eat Now, I gasped audibly. I'm going to eat it all. EAT IT ALL. This list will be conquered.*
JP and I began our list adventure with the burrito from Seoul Taco on the Loop. After enjoying Seoul Taco's badass Steak Gogi Bowl, I had multiple mediocre Gogi Bowls and then took a Seoul Taco break. But the list convinced me to give Seoul Taco a second try.
I opted for the spicy pork. It was awesome. The burrito was packed with spicy, sticky kimchi rice, bitter greens, and flavorful pork. Sour cream added a bit of tanginess. Seoul Taco won my heart back. And it proved that this list might know what it's talking about. I look forward to eating the rest of it.
*I'm also currently working on eating through a STL Cheap Eats list, a NYC Spicy Foods list, and the America's Test Kitchen cookbook so clearly I'm quite busy.
Egg, Spinach, and Tomato Sandwich from the VillagePosted: April 10, 2013 Filed under: All Posts, WashU Dishes Leave a comment
I'm pretty particular about egg sandwiches. I want runny eggs, sharp cheese, and good bread. Add a little spicy Chipotle mayo (like on the egg sandwich at Ibby's) and I'm in Heaven.
Despite fully-cooked eggs and the lack of sauce, the egg sandwich from the Village was quite delicious. The cheddar was only mildly sharp but well melted. The whole wheat bread was perfectly toasted. Bright slices of tomato added enough sweetness and flavor to replace any sauce.
Runny yolk would've made the good sandwich a great sandwich. Eating an egg sandwich should be a messy ordeal that requires the deft use of bread as a yolk mopper-upper (I did ask for my eggs over-easy but that detail was lost in translation).
That being said, the sandwich really was good and it was way better than the egg sandwiches served on weekday mornings at Bear's Den.
Pulled Pork from the DUC BBQPosted: April 5, 2013 Filed under: All Posts, WashU Dishes Leave a comment
DUC BBQ IS BACK. Sing it from the hilltops. Let the world know that spring has truly arrived. Nothing says "summer is coming" like sitting outside in the sun and eating DUC BBQ on a Friday.
The pulled pork was, like always, delicious. Today's pulled pork was coated in a North Carolina style sauce. While I like the usual Pappy's BBQ, I loved today's BBQ sauce even more. The sauce was more tangy than it was sweet (and Pappy's can be a bit too sweet for my taste) which made the meal feel a lot lighter than usual. Lighter is better when it's warm outside.
Warm outside. Can you read those words?? Do you understand that fantasticalness of them?? I've been waiting months and now I can finally post that it is warm outside and there is BBQ and I ate it and it was delicious and the world is a good, good place.
P.S. I've heard the Bill Clinton is a big North Carolina BBQ fan.
Spinach Artichoke Turkey Panini from the VillagePosted: March 27, 2013 Filed under: All Posts, WashU Dishes Leave a comment
Using spinach artichoke dip as a spread?? Brilliant.
I can ignore salsa. I can avoid guacamole Put a bowl of quality spinach artichoke dip in front of me and I will eat it for days. I'm all about spinach artichoke dip. But I've never thought of putting it on a sandwich. In hindsight, it seems so logical.
Unfortunately, the sandwich didn't really live up to the idea. The combination of sweet turkey and creamy dip was good. But there was way too much turkey on it. It wasn't until I took off a layer of meat that I could taste the dip. The dip was boring. It tasted like bland cheese and pureed spinach. The tang that artichokes can provide didn't come through.
I'm going to have to head to Trader Joe's and then make a sandwich with their spinach dip (it's awesome awesome awesome). Or I can just stick to ordering the Village's Cuban Pork Sandwich.
Masala Lamb Quesadilla from BDPosted: March 26, 2013 Filed under: All Posts, WashU Dishes, WashU's Best Dishes Leave a comment
Where have you been eating lunch on Tuesdays?? If your answer is anywhere other than BD, you are a fool. A foolish fool of fool proportions. Today was the second time I picked up a quesadilla from the WUrld Fusion station (only on Tuesdays) and today was the second time that FLAVOR HIT ME IN THE FACE.
The quesadilla was filled with tomatoes, onions, and green peppers but that were overwhelmed by the lamb, cumin, and cilantro. "Overwhlemed by" in the same way that us mortals are overwhelmed by Beyonce's fabulousness.The cumin and the cilantro amplified the rich gaminess of the lamb (and that's what makes lamb lamb so this was a super lamby lamb quesadilla… get my happiness??).
After taking a bite that included a bit of the sour cream and the tamarind chutney, I couldn't help but smile. The addition of sweetness, richness, acidity, and slight bitterness took it from being a yummy quesadilla to being a GREAT quesadilla.
The meat was a little chewy and the quesadilla was difficult to eat but the flavor more than made up for that. Click here to read the review of the other WUrld Fusion quesadilla if this post hasn't already convinced you to check out the station at lunch next Tuesday.
The Best Mac & Cheese at Paws & GoPosted: March 21, 2013 Filed under: All Posts, My Favorite Posts, WashU Dishes 2 Comments
Paws & Go sells four different brands of mac and cheese.
That fact captures the typical college student's desire to cook perfectly. Sure, Paws & Go sells some raw vegetables, flour, uncooked pasta, and (beautiful) cheeses but I'd be willing to bet that most of what they sell is ready to eat or microwaveable. And there's nothing wrong with that. We're busy college students. Ain't nobody got time for sauteing.
Ain't nobody got time for bad mac and cheese either. So Alex, Brandon, JP and I did the difficult deed of testing out each brand to find the best.
Stouffer's v. Easy Mac
Brandon described Easy Mac as "what you eat when you're feeling down." I describe it as "bleh." It tasted like calcium powder, not cheese. According to everyone in the room, I put Easy Mac at a disadvantage because, apparently, I added too much water. I will have you know: I filled it up to the fill line and not a millimeter higher.
Anyway, Stouffer's would've won even if the Easy Mac wasn't soggy noodles in a pool of flavorless yellow water. Stouffer's was a lot cheesier and the thicker noodles were more satisfying.
Amy's v. Gluten Free
The Gluten Free was, undoubtably, the underdog because… it's gluten free. Gluten Free was basically forced to play defensively the entire time and it did so poorly. JP said it wasn't the worse thing ever but it basically was. The rice noodles were hard and tasted like plastic. The cheese sauce didn't taste like anything. Don't eat Gluten Free. If you're gluten free… I'm sorry.
Amy's, on the other hand, played a strong offense and dominated. The cheese sauce tasted like cheese (which is apparently a lot to ask). The noodles were thick and not mushy.
Amy's v. Stouffer's
This matchup was destined to be a close one. Both Stouffer's and Amy's featured cheese that tasted like cheese. Both had satisfying noodle textures. Brandon and Alex both liked Stouffer's. JP and I both liked Amy's. It would've been a tie except… I write the blog posts so I get to vote twice! So the winner is: Amy's.
I liked the flavor that the whole wheat in the noodles added. I also thought the Amy's cheese sauce was milkier and richer.
So here's how the March Madness Mac & Cheese Bracket played out:
Cuban Sandwich from the VillagePosted: March 20, 2013 Filed under: All Posts, WashU Dishes, WashU's Best Dishes 1 Comment
Pork on pork. I'm a big fan of bacon, prosciutto, pancetta… basically any meat that began as a big but smoked pork AND ham sounded like it'd be a little too much.
I was totally wrong. The locally made pulled pork added a deep, wonderful smokiness that worked well with the sweet ham. Spicy chipotle mustard took the sandwich from delicious to DELICIOUS. That was all cradled between two slices of bread that are crunched up perfectly by the most intense panini press I've ever seen.
I thought I was only going to eat half (because of the whole "pork on pork" thing) but I ended up devouring the whole thing. Lord help me not eat one of these every day.

Is Cinnamon Good for Health?
Cinnamon is a spice extracted from the inner bark of trees belonging to the genus Cinnamomum. The name 'cinnamon' has been derived from the Greek word 'kinnám?mon'.

Cinnamon grows in two varieties, one is Chinese and the other is the Ceylonese.

I was skeptical of buying this because I thought it would be really cheesy material from the price. It was a lot better than I thought! It's sturdy, comfortable, and looks awesome! The only downside is that the sizing goes by height which isn't exactly accurate. I'm only 5'6" but went with the large because I have a curvier figure (big busted, wider hips). I suggest going a size up if you are on the curvier side. Looks amazing with a steel boned corset underneath. Can't wait until I get to wear this to an event! I might get the Batgirl too!

so how does everyone feel on the subject, im goin to be honest i enjoy it! have been doin it since i was 16 and although i prefer 'traditional' ways, i dont see anything wrong with bein a bit extra naughty occassionally! my partner also likes me to put my finger in his ass during sex. comments? thoughts?
|Tue, 04-24-2012 - 4:32pm
I'm going to be honest. It's not my favorite, but I can get into it. DH LOVES it, and sometimes I don't have a choice unless I want to use the safeword, which to me would be silly.
|Wed, 04-25-2012 - 11:20am
Thank you for sharing. I am glad I am not the only one who doesn't love it. I am working on it though. LOL My hubby really wants to get into it more often but he is scared he will hurt me and can tell when I get uncomfortable.
|Thu, 04-26-2012 - 8:22am
It's good that he can tell when your get uncomfortable and he stops. It's not something that needs to be done all at once. Just take it slow, use lots and lots of lube, and then more. Have him start with a finger, then a toy, etc.
|Thu, 04-26-2012 - 9:11am
Thank you. Yes, we have slowly started out that way. I am just trying to get him to feel comfortable now and know that I "want" to and for him not to be nervous about doing it. LOL. You all have helped a lot!! Thank you!

The Drinks of Mexico - Chileatole
The ancient corn drink known as "atole", from the Náhuatl "atolli", dates back as far as 500BC and is still widely enjoyed throughout Mexico today, to the extent that there are even atole festivals, in particular the one held annually in Tarécuaro, Michoacán, on Palm Sunday; the local cooks set themselves up in the central plaza with enormous earthenware "ollas" or pots, and dole out countless different atoles, from the most classical and regional to the utterly exotic – and "chileatole" is bound to be on offer as a remedy for a head cold or a hangover! In daily life, sweet versions, flavoured simply with sugar or more often with fruit or chocolate, are particularly popular at breakfast or as an evening snack, while the savoury atoles are consumed at any time of day and veer more towards a soup than a drink.
Atole was mentioned by Fray Bernardino de Sahagún in his 16th century chronicles of Aztec life, and Hernán Cortés, the Spanish conquistador, recorded his impression of atole as highly energising - it is likely that he was served a spicy, aromatic atole, containing beans and seasoned with herbs and chillies, a "chileatole", although he may also have drunk a bitter chocolate atole, again spiked with chilli; if it was sweetened at all, wild honey would have been used as sugar did not arrive in Mexico until after the Conquest. The corn masa or flour which features in modern savoury atoles is often toasted, so for Cortes' chileatole, the corn kernels are liable to have been browned on a "comal" or earthenware griddle before being boiled and ground. Sophie D Coe lists numerous different pre-Columbian forms of atole in her book, America's First Cuisines, which all started off with a basic atole mix of "eight parts water, six parts maize, and lime". To this might be added a tenth part of maguey syrup to make "nequatolli"; honey and chilli to make "nechillatolli"; "iztac atolli" would be topped with a combination of ground salt, chilli and tomato; "xocoatolli" was allowed to develop "an agreeable sourness", while "ayocomollatolli" contained cooked whole beans; "tlatonilatolli" was sprinkled with powdered chilli and the very Mexican herb, epazote, and "izquiatolli" was an excellent remedy for sadness. There was even an atole made from the soft interior of cooked tortillas, "tlaxcalatolli". She also mentions atoles made from ingredients other than corn, namely red amaranth and chía seeds, as well as what must have been one of the world's first instant foods: "pinolli", ground toasted maize which was carried in a little sack by travellers and could be made into an immediate meal with water – not overly tasty perhaps but nourishing and sustaining on the road, particularly if another sack contained ground squash seeds, which the Maya liked to stir into their own version of atole.
The following recipe for chileatole is based on the customary masa harina but also contains whole corn kernels or "granos"; and while the native herb epazote is very traditional, avocado leaves and dill lend a distinct hint of aniseed which marries very well with the sweetness of the corn and the heat of the chilli.
Buén provecho!
Wholegrain chilli atole – Chileatole de grano
Serves 4
15 ml/1 tbsp oil
150 g/6 oz onions, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
1 hottish green chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
5 ml/1 tsp fennel seeds, coarsely ground
100 g/4 oz tinned or frozen sweetcorn, rinsed and drained
100 g/4 oz masa harina
1 litre/4 1/2 cups vegetable stock or water with 1 heaped tsp bouillon powder
2 dried avocado leaves, crumbled
5 ml/1 tsp chipotle chilli powder or to taste
250 ml/1 cup tinned or cooked black beans, well drained
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely sliced
30 ml/2 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Heat the oil in a deep frying pan, add the onions, garlic, green chilli and fennel, and cook over low heat, stirring often, until soft and golden, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle in the sweetcorn and cook for a further 10 minutes.
Scrape the mixture into a bowl, wipe out the pan and put it back on the heat. Add the masa and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it starts to change colour. Continue to cook until it is all an even, very light gold and is giving off a faintly sweet, nutty aroma. Stir in the stock, whisk out any lumps and strain into a saucepan. Add the vegetables, chipotle, avocado leaves and some seasoning, bring to the boil and simmer, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens. Fold in the beans and check the seasoning.
Ladle the atole into four warm bowls, sprinkle with red chilli and dill and serve immediately.

New Grad States & Relocating
- 1Jul 21, '13 by jeangarc18Any new grad/inexperienced nurse-friendly states out there? Looking to relocate just to get a job. Cali is dried up for new grads.
- 3Jul 22, '13 by sjalvUsually the states no one wants to live in.. like Oklahoma.
- 0Jul 22, '13 by Miss_Piggy.RNSmall cities that are not very attractive?
I just passed my NCLEX and will be endorsing my license to other states, and applying to those "less attractive small cities"
I don't own the house, no kids, husband is willing to relocate as well... I am from WA and I am looking for jobs even in New Mexico!
- 2Jul 22, '13 by calivianya, BSN, RNThere are tons of new grad programs in the Southeast. I applied to jobs in VA, NC, SC, and GA, and finally got hired in GA for a critical care residency even though I was out of state and I had no contacts at the hospital. I got callbacks (one interview, one job offer) from two places in NC after accepting the job in GA, so it's not impossible to find jobs in those states although competition is high.
- 4Jul 22, '13 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorI wish everyone who is entering nursing right now would read this and not believe the hype that is out the about the nursing shortage.
Good Luck....the Northeast is pretty full as well.
- 1Jul 22, '13 by TheCommuter, ASN, RN Senior ModeratorLook to the places where people aren't exactly flocking to live:
1. Wyoming
2. North Dakota (plenty of nursing jobs R/T the oil boom)
3. Northern Louisiana
4. Eastern Tennessee
5. Texas border towns
6. Southern Oklahoma
7. Nebraska
- 0Jul 22, '13 by tcrn2013I agree with Thecommuter.. I'm in Texas and I know first hand that new grad rn jobs in the big cities like Houston, Austin, & Dallas are essentially non-existent.. But I have found hospitals in Beeville, Corpus Christi, & other outlying areas open to hiring new grads into areas like ICUs, Med-surg... My husband has traveled to Beeville several times... He says its very rural.. But if you need a job.. And you can move..
- 0Jul 22, '13 by wish_me_luckEast TN is on a hiring freeze.
- 0Jul 22, '13 by DavidDudleyYea I agree with the above posters. You have to go where everyone else doesn't want to go. When I was a new grad I had to move to Blythe CA for a job. That place is a nightmare but at the time it was the only place where I could get a job.
- 1Jul 22, '13 by whichone'spinkNorth Dakota is hiring new grad nurses. I moved 9 months ago to Fargo. You have to get used to snow, lots of it, along with sub zero temperatures in the winter. Right now it's hot and humid. Two days ago it was 101. 101 degrees with high humidity can be intolerable. Makes me wish for snow again.

Want to buy this product?
Currently you can buy Paula's Choice products directly from this site and a few top-rated products from other brands are available via links to affiliate websites. We review and recommend products from other brands because we are dedicated to helping you find the best products for your skin, whether they're from Paula's Choice or other lines.
Paula's Choice products are formulated using the same exacting standards we use to review products from other brands.
You have chosen to add to your My Faves.
Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
This fluid, fragrance-free moisturizer with sunscreen provides broad-spectrum protection, and includes sufficient UVA (think anti-aging) screening from stabilized avobenzone. We have little doubt that men with combination to oily skin will love how light this feels, and its finish is surprisingly non-greasy.
The problem? The alcohol it contains is a potential cause for concern. Adding up the amount of active ingredients plus what precedes the alcohol on the ingredient list likely means that the actual amount of alcohol is lower than it seems; however, given that the amount of sunscreen actives this contains can be sensitizing on their own, it's not a good idea to add alcohol to the mix. Besides, you can find sunscreens with similar textures from SkinCeuticals and La Roche-Posay (like Kiehl's, both of these brands are owned by L'Oreal).
If you're stuck on this particular product (though you shouldn't be), you can find the exact same thing for less money from L'Oreal's Sublime Sun Advanced Sunscreen SPF 50+.
Note: that this product is surprisingly short on anti-aging ingredients beyond those that provide sun protection. Guys, you need to know that antioxidants in skin care are essential if you want to have or maintain healthier, younger-looking skin.
Alcohol in skin-care products causes dryness and free-radical damage, and impairs the skin's ability to heal. The irritation it causes damages healthy collagen production and can stimulate oil production at the base of the pore, making oily skin worse (Sources: Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, May 2012, pages 1410–1419; Alcoholism, Clinical and Experimental Research, January 2011, pages 83–90; "Skin Care—From the Inside Out and Outside In," Tufts Daily, April 1, 2002; eMedicine Journal, May 8, 2002, volume 3, number 5, www.emedicine.com; Cutis, February 2001, pages 25–27; Contact Dermatitis, January 1996, pages 12–16; and http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/arh27-4/277-284.htm). Product like this may not be as much cause for concern as those where alcohol is more prominent, but it's worth calling out because you can find similar, alcohol-free alternatives.
This line has been around for quite some time, and has its origins in a family-owned pharmacy based in New York City. Perhaps its neighborly beginnings with a big-city heritage are what propelled Kiehl's to its long-standing status as a popular product line. Considering that Kiehl's doesn't advertise (at least not in the traditional sense, though their products get frequent press), their brand identity and status in the minds of consumers are impressive.
What gets lost in all the fashion magazine hype and company claims of "excellence" and "quality ingredients" is that almost all of the Kiehl's products hardly warrant excitement or even mild enthusiasm. Most of them are surprisingly ordinary, with a dusting of natural ingredients almost always at the very end of the ingredient list, well after the preservatives. That amounts to little more than a token attempt to make the products appear more natural to those who want to believe a plant or vitamin must somehow be better for the skin than something that sounds more chemical. Nevertheless, that token amount is enough to allow Kiehl's to brag about how its products nourish the skin or are more environmentally friendly, when they're not.
Aside from the allure of the natural, this line consists of totally ordinary and often completely unnatural ingredients. More disheartening for skin is that many of the ingredients are of questionable benefit for those with sensitive, oily, or blemish-prone skin. In some instances product ingredients are irritating for any skin type, while half of the sunscreen products are a serious problem for reliable sun protection. If you can't resist the allure of Kiehl's, just know that the product assembly will work best for those with dry to very dry skin and that, for the money, most of the formulas aren't knock-your-socks-off thrilling.
Note: Kiehl's is categorized as a brand that tests on animals because its products are sold in China. Although Kiehl's does not conduct animal testing for its products sold elsewhere, the Chinese government requires imported cosmetics be tested on animals, so foreign companies retailing there must comply. This requirement is why some brands state that they don't test on animals "unless required by law." Animal rights organizations consider cosmetic companies retailed in China to be brands that test on animals, and so does the Paula's Choice Research Team.

Country Getaway: 7 Reasons to Visit Stowe, Vermont
This Vermont town may be best known for its ski slopes, but off-mountain activities abound, too. From maple sugaring to fly fishing, shopping to spa-going, heres everything you need to know for a perfect weekend in Stowe.
By Leigh Crandall
Where to Join a Tasting Tour
Be sure to bring your appetite along for the trip—Stowe and its surrounding areas offer a long list of tasting tours within a short drive. Start with a cup of coffee and a self-guided tour at the Green Mountain Coffee Café in neighboring Waterbury's restored historic train station. Ben & Jerry's Factory is just up the road, with guided tours of the ice cream-making process followed by a gratis taste of the flavor of the day.
Watch the cider press with a hot cup of cider and a doughnut at Cold Hollow Cider Mill or tour the tank and barrel rooms then taste the wines and cream liqueurs at Boyden Valley Winery. And, if it's a Saturday during maple sugaring season in early spring, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride to the Trapp Family Lodge's sugarhouse to experience the syrup making process and sample the quintessential Vermont treat: sugar-on-snow.

CA Buys Cloud Platform Vendor, 3Tera
• • 1 Comment
The acquisition of 3Tera by Computer Associates signals an intent to move beyond traditional Systems Management, into something that may almost be viewed as Operating System: a layer of software called AppLogic that sits above the virtualization stack, and provides a consolidated abstraction against which composite applications may be built within the Cloud. Essentially the AppLogic layer deals with the nuts and bolts of configuring and connecting virtual machines, all you do is choose from a menu of virtual appliances you want, and use a visual interface to show how the appliances interconnect at a software level.

Citrix/Novell Partnership SLES and PlateSpin

In a slightly strange "didn't they already have Xen in the kernel" kind of way, Novell has certified Suse Linux Enterprise Server as a "perfect guest" running on Citrix XenServer, allowing joint support of the combined solution. The deal is asymmetric (it wouldn't really make sense to run XenServer on SLES) but it reflects an open approach characteristic of the way Novell operates, in embracing the reality that customers will want to use one of a number of possible hypervisors, and that Novell has to get along with everyone. In return Novell is starting to push it's PlateSpin Recon product through the Citrix channel.

Ulteo – Open Source Desktop Broker
• • 4 Comments
Ulteo has just released Version 2 of its Open Virtual Desktop (OVD), an Open Source desktop broker product which is designed to deliver GUI applications running on Linux, Terminal Services and Windows to java-enabled browsers. Ulteo's appeal is likely to be to more cost-conscious and linux-oriented organizations than the large enterprise customers of Citrix, VMware, Ericom, Systancia or Quest, but within these potentially new markets it can deliver many of the mangeability benefits of the existing proprietary products, and it has few competitors for its key feature of delivering both Linux and Terminal Services desktop applications through the same portal.

Apple Poll: Cook's Doing a Great Job
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook has put in an impressive performance since taking over for his iconic predecessor, Steve Jobs, according to TheStreet's readers.
Some 78% of respondents to TheStreet's ongoing poll on the Apple chief say he is doing a great job, while just over 19% say that "the jury's still out." A mere 2.5% of readers say Cook has been a disappointment.
Previously Apple's chief operating officer, Cook assumed the highest-profile job in Silicon Valley last August when Jobs stepped down as CEO. An acclaimed operations guru and key Apple insider, questions were nonetheless asked about Cook's ability to drive the company's innovation engine.
Cook, however, has certainly been busy. He's overseen the launch of the iPhone 4S, the new iPad, and most recently, the iOS 6 operating system along with a MacBook refresh. Still, Apple's legion of fanboys continue to eagerly await the iPhone 5 and the much-hyped Apple TV, also known as iTV."It is hard to argue with Cook's performance up to this point," noted Apple investor Chad Brand, in an email to TheStreet. "I would give him an 'A' so far - in fact, I would go as far as to say if one didn't get any non-financial news from the company over the last year, it would be hard to know Jobs was not still heading the firm." Brand, who is president of Peridot Capital Management and author of the Peridot Capitalist blog, added that it appears as if Apple is running just as smoothly as before. "As an investor, there is not much more that one could ask for from an operational standpoint, so I can't say there are any places to improve yet," he noted. Clearly comfortable pushing Apple in a new direction, Cook also reversed Apple's dividend strategy earlier this year, announcing plans for the company's first payment since 1995. Apple also announced a $10 billion share repurchase plan. Rumors of a smaller version of the iPad tablet, dubbed the "iPad Mini", have also swirled recently despite Apple's prior assertion that smaller-screen tablets are "dead on arrival".

WASHINGTON – Today, Chairman Frank Lucas issued the following statement welcoming the news that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) will move forward with implementing the Actual Production History (APH) adjustment for 2015 spring-planted crops. This crop insurance provision in the Agricultural Act of 2014 allows yield adjustments when losses are widespread and beyond the control of producers.
"I commend Secretary Vilsack and his team on their efforts to implement this critical provision in the farm bill. The APH adjustment means everything to farmers all across the country who have suffered through year after year of devastating drought conditions. It is the difference between having viable crop insurance for the coming year or not. It is for these reasons that I worked to include the APH adjustment in the farm bill and why I am pleased the Secretary redoubled his efforts to get it done this year. I remain hopeful that USDA will also work to make the same relief available to winter wheat producers."

WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Glenn 'GT' Thompson, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry, held a public hearing to examine the benefits of promoting soil health in agriculture and rural America. Healthy soil is critical to help producers both feed the world and protect the environment. Congress recognized this after the nation suffered a devastating drought, which led to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. Congress established the Soil Conservation Service as a part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1935. The agency was later renamed the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
Discussion during the hearing centered on the history and role of the agency, efforts to improve soil health on the state and local level, how the new farm bill will improve conservation practices and soil management, and what other methods can be taken to protect our natural resources.
"Farmers are the original environmentalists and I am pleased to see so many farmers in Pennsylvania and across the country engaging in innovative practices to promote soil health. I am proud of this committee and the important work under the 2014 Farm Bill to improve and expand voluntary conservation programs, including in the area of soils. I also want to thank the Natural Resources Conservation Service, including Chief Weller, for their tireless work to implement these programs and help our farmers and producers enhance conservation practices in this particular area. These are important tools that will enable agriculture to produce the food necessary for an increasing population on less acres, while assisting farmers and ranchers in positive stewardship of the land," said Chairman Glenn 'GT' Thompson (R-PA-5).
"Research shows us that employing cover crops can significantly benefit both the environment and farmer's bottom lines. Today's hearing was an opportunity to learn more about these successes while looking at ways to address any challenges related to implementing cover crops, such as ensuring cover crop use doesn't make producers ineligible for crop insurance or other safety net programs," said Ranking Member Timothy Walz (D-MN-01).

WASHINGTON – Rep. Frank Lucas, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, and Rep. Doug LaMalfa today issued statements after the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) voted, 4-0, to exempt producers, utility companies, and other non-financial entities from being required to register as swap dealers when they enter into energy contracts with government-owned utilities.
The rule largely reflects the intent of H.R. 1038, the Public Power Risk Management Act, which was sponsored by Rep. Doug LaMalfa. The House Agriculture Committee advanced this bipartisan bill that ultimately won unanimous support on the House floor last year. Further, it was included within H.R. 4413, the Customer Protection and End-User Relief Act, that passed in the House this summer.
"I am pleased this is the agenda and outcome of the first open meeting under Chairman Massad's leadership. It is encouraging to see common sense has prevailed on a regulatory issue that is critical to the livelihoods of so many. The House acted with one, united voice and I applaud the CFTC for following suit thereby protecting Americans from electricity and natural gas rate increases," said Chairman Frank Lucas.
"I am pleased the CFTC finalized a rule consistent with the intent of my bill, H.R. 1038, the Public Power Risk Management Act which was also included in, H.R. 4413, the Customer Protection and End-User Relief Act. Not only will the CFTC's decision to implement this rule help to ensure continued growth in our agriculture sector, but most importantly, it will protect public power utilities' access to risk management practices, and in turn, protect American ratepayers from escalating energy prices due to misguided regulations," said Rep. Doug LaMalfa.
The CFTC's regulations under the Dodd-Frank Act had strained the ability of public utility companies to use commodity swaps to manage risk in their operations. Non-financial entities can engage in up to $3 billion (subject to an initial three year phase-in level of $8 billion) in most swap activities, including with a private utility, before being regulated as a swap dealer. But with a public utility, they can only engage in $25 million in swap activities.
The restrictive regulations served as a deterrent for many to do business with public utilities, which limited the ability of public utilities to protect themselves and their customers from increased costs and market volatility. Ultimately, this unequal and illogical treatment of public utilities would have caused Americans' electric and natural gas rates to increase.
On March 11, 2013, Rep. Doug LaMalfa introduced H.R. 1038, the Public Power Risk Management Act. The bill would allow producers, utility companies, and other non-financial entities to continue entering into energy swaps with government-owned utilities without danger of being required to register with the CFTC as a swap dealer.
On March 20, 2013, the House Agriculture Committee advanced H.R. 1038 by voice vote.
On June 12, 2013, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed H.R. 1038 with a 423-0 vote. The U.S. Senate has failed to consider the bill.
On December 11, 2013, Sen. Joe Donnelly introduced S. 1802, the Public Power Risk Management Act. It has bipartisan support with 13 original cosponsors. The U.S. Senate has failed to consider it.
On March 26, 2014, the CFTC issued a No-Action Letter that reconsidered the treatment of public utilities under the Dodd-Frank Act. Chairman Lucas and Rep. LaMalfa emphasized the fact that a No-Action Letter is not the rule of law.
On June 24, 2014, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 4413, the Customer Protection and End-User Relief Act, by a vote of 265-144. The bill included H.R. 1038.

WASHINGTON – Today, Chairman Frank Lucas held a public hearing to review the implementation of state pilot projects under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) of the Agricultural Act of 2014. SNAP is designed primarily to increase the food purchasing power of eligible low-income households to help them buy a nutritional, low-cost diet. One of the reforms in the 2014 Farm Bill included new Employment and Training pilot projects. They allow for up to ten states to develop and test methods to help adults secure employment and job training and reduce their dependency on SNAP. On August 25, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released the Request for Applications and Request for Proposals for the pilot projects setting in motion the next phase of implementation.
"It is important to maintain an open line of communication with USDA as it implements the Agricultural Act of 2014. Today's hearing was a part of that process and I appreciate Secretary Vilsack's participation and commend his efforts to date. The work pilot projects are a response to a need to help struggling Americans find employment and earn higher wages so they are no longer dependent on federal food assistance. I was encouraged to hear the Secretary is focused on a broad range of projects to help determine the best strategies states can use to help Americans get back to work and off of SNAP. I am hopeful we will soon see a positive outcome as a result of these projects," said Chairman Frank Lucas.
"The work pilot programs discussed today are an example of the bipartisan, cooperative work the Agriculture Committee does so well. We authorized these pilot projects because we value work and we want to put people back to work. Keeping a close eye on farm bill implementation is a top Committee priority and I welcomed the opportunity to learn more about USDA's efforts to implement the SNAP work pilot programs," said Ranking Member Collin Peterson.

WASHINGTON – Today, Rep. Glenn 'GT' Thompson, Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Conservation, Energy, and Forestry, held a public hearing to review the U.S. Forest Service's proposed groundwater directive. The U.S. Forest Service has developed a proposal to manage groundwater resources on Natural Forest System land. This proposal manages groundwater uses, establishes new processes and procedures for special use authorizations that involve access to and withdrawal of groundwater resources, and addresses components of numerous Federal initiatives involving water, the Forest Service's emphasis as a water agency, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary's vision for water management in the National Forest system.
Members of the subcommittee heard from the chief of the U.S. Forest Service who explained more about the policy and potential outcomes. Other witnesses included stakeholders from state organizations and the agricultural community who discussed their perspectives and concerns about the proposal.
"The topic of water and forest management is critically important for all Americans - especially so for our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities who live off the land. I am gravely concerned that this directive would create more problems than it proclaims to solve, and will further undermine the ability of the Forest Service to carry out its management responsibilities. Furthermore, I and many others question the agency's legal authority to regulate groundwater in the manner proposed in the directive. I strongly believe that this action is a direct infringement of the states' authority. I look forward to working with Chief Tidwell and the Forest Service to ensure that the concerns of states, private landowners, and users of the National Forest System, including timber producers, are addressed," said Chairman Glenn 'GT' Thompson (R-PA-5).
The National Forest System encompasses 193 million acres of Federal land – much of which is located in the headwaters and recharge areas of the nation's streams and aquifers, and as a result, provides sources of drinking water for 66 million people in 33 States and Puerto Rico. The Forest Service issued the proposal in May with public comment until October 3.

WASHINGTON – Today, Chairman Frank Lucas issued the following statement after the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 5078, the Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act, by a vote of 262-152. This legislation prohibits the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Army Corps of Engineers from finalizing and enforcing a proposed rule that would redefine "waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act, or using the rule as a basis for future administrative actions. It is the authority of Congress, not the administration, to change the scope of the Clean Water Act.
"I am pleased the House approved this bipartisan, commonsense bill to block the EPA from expanding its control of our nation's land and water resources.
"Whether it's trying to regulate farm dust out of existence, milk as oil, or now treat ditches like major water tributaries, the EPA has demonstrated a hunger for power and a lack of understanding of how its actions impact America's farmers and ranchers. The agency's latest action would trigger an onslaught of additional permitting and regulatory requirements for our agricultural producers to protect not our great natural resources, but rather our backyard ponds.
"It is an underhanded way to harm American agriculture and threaten America's food security. I urge Majority Leader Harry Reid to bring H.R. 5078 to the floor for swift Senate passage," said Chairman Frank Lucas.

"I appreciated his leadership as chairman of the agency's Technology Advisory Committee, which was crucial in highlighting that technology is at the center of our markets and the Commission must modernize to fulfill its responsibility.
"I am grateful for his service and I wish him well in all of his future endeavors."

Global Stocks Fall; NYSE Closes Trading Floor
BANGKOK -- World stock markets fell Monday as a mammoth storm heading toward the eastern U.S. caused the New York Stock Exchange and CME Group to shut trading floors.
Stocks ran out of momentum as traders refrained from bold moves amid global growth woes, while Hurricane Sandy â¿" expected to join up with two other weather systems to combine into a superstorm by Tuesday â¿" brought the potential for havoc as it bore down on major eastern U.S. cities such as New York and Washington.
CME, which operates the New York Mercantile Exchange, and NYSE said they would shut their New York trading floors Monday but electronic trading would continue.Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.3 percent to 5,786.24. Germany's DAX lost 0.4 percent to 7,200.70. France's CAC-40 shed 0.8 percent to 3,407.32. Stan Shamu, market strategist at IG Markets in Melbourne, said in an email commentary that he expects lackluster trading this week, "until the US election process has run its course and the investing world has a clearer picture as to who will be leading the US." The U.S. holds presidential elections on Nov. 6. President Barack Obama is seeking re-election against Republican challenger Mitt Romney. Asian stock markets shed early gains and closed mostly lower. Japan's Nikkei 225 index fell marginally to 8,929.34 a day before the Bank of Japan's monetary policy committee was to meet, to grapple yet again with the country's longstanding economic doldrums. "The faster-than-expected deterioration in the economy requires further policy support from the central bank," analysts at DBS Bank Ltd. in Singapore said in a market commentary. "Market expectations are building that the BOJ will ease policy again." South Korea's Kospi ended barely changed at 1,891.52. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.1 percent to 4,476.90. Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.2 percent to 21,511.05, with property shares leading the way down after the government said it would tamp down prices by imposing a 15 percent tax on nonresident buyers of Hong Kong properties.
