WILDOMAR: Local researchers test water content
Michael Creighton, an environmental consultant, gets ready to take a water sample from a large tank in Wildomar on Monday, November 26, 2012. Local researchers are taking it upon themselves to investigate the content of water being piped into roughly 100 Wildomar and Menifee homes. The water company, County Water of Riverside, could be facing receivership by the county for failing to provide potable water to residents.

A Fireside Chat with Lucky Peterson
LP: I am going to try and do a live one. It will be somewhere between the States and Europe or both. It will come out sometime next year. I believe that my music will be number one. I believe the blues will be on top because the blues is the type of music that you don't need a hit, all you need is a record. All you need to do is play the blues. I play the blues and the blues will be on top of the rock and roll, the rap. The blues is coming and when it hits, it ain't going to be nothing anybody can do but stand back and watch it blow. It is already there. It is already in the mix. I hope to be the one to make it hit. I will be around.

Serves 4 to 6
Onions are often used in risotto, but not usually as the main ingredient. In this soothing dish, you get a bite of beautifully browned, sweet, soft caramelized onions in every forkful. Aged Gouda gives the risotto a slightly toasty butterscotch flavor, but the more traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano is also delicious.
Heat the olive oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot over medium-high heat until shimmering hot. Add the onions and reduce the heat to medium. Cook without stirring until the bottom of the pot begins to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle with 1/4 tsp. salt and stir with a wooden spatula. Continue to cook, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot frequently and adjusting the heat as necessary, until the onions are well browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a 3-quart saucepan, combine the broth with 2 cups water and set over medium heat until steaming hot.
Transfer the onions to a small bowl, cover, and keep warm. Add about 1/2 cup of the broth mixture to the pot. Scrape the bottom of the pot with the wooden spatula until any stuck-on bits are released. Pour the liquid back into the broth mixture. Wipe out the pot.
Melt 2 Tbs. of the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, stirring gently, until glossy and translucent around the edges, about 1 minute. Add the wine and cook, stirring, until absorbed, about 1 minute. Ladle enough broth over the rice to just cover (about 1/2 cup) and simmer, stirring often, until most of the broth has been absorbed (test by running a spoon through the rice; no broth should pool on the pot bottom). Continue to add the broth in this manner, stirring often, until the rice is tender but still has a bit of resistance when you bite into it, 20 to 30 minutes. (You may not need all of the broth.)
Stir in the remaining 2 Tbs. butter, the cheese, and all but 1/3 cup of the onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately, topped with the remaining onions.

2/25/2014I've been making risotto for quite a while and knew a few changes I would want to make to the recipe. With the changes implemented, it was fantastic. As much as we love caramelized onions, I would never have thought to use them for risotto. We love mushrooms and I wanted an additional texture to my risotto so I sautéed cremini and white button mushroom with a little butter, sea salt and cracked white pepper until they were very brown and free of water content. I also caramelized a bit more onion than recommended. During the risotto cooking time, I added about 1/2 the mushrooms and about 1/4 the caramelized onions to weave the flavor throughout the risotto. From experience, I know that risotto benefits from a little additional flavor during the cooking process, although I am sure the recipe was good as is.
by stars15k,
10/3/2013This is excellent! I did a few tweeks. Because we were having it with baked chicken, I used only chicken broth, not broth and water. This made a definite chicken flavor to the dish. The broth used to deglaze the pan, I kept separate and used it after the wine reduced. This turned the rice a toasted brown, and kept all the flavor in the rice. And when I went to use the parmesan, I found it had molded. I did have some Gruyere and used that instead. It was wonderful, but a bit "stringy". Will make with parm next time. I made a half recipe (for just 2), but will make a full recipe next time so I can have leftovers!
by ErinM78,
9/25/2013I had to make this once I saw it pop up on Fine Cooking's Facebook and it did not disappoint! So rarely can I get away with a meatless dinner but this was rich and hearty. Another one to add to my "go to" risotto list.

Lawn and garden activities can contaminate stormwater
with pesticide, soil, and fertilizer runoff. Proper landscape management,
however, can effectively reduce water use and contaminant runoff, and enhance a property's
aesthetics. Environmentally friendly landscape management
protects the environment through careful planning and design, routine soil
analysis, appropriate plant selection, use of practical turf areas and mulches,
efficient water use, and appropriate maintenance.
Other activities that benefit water resources include maintaining
healthy plants and lawns, and composting lawn wastes. Healthy plants better resist diseases and insects. Therefore, they require fewer pest
control measures. To promote healthy plants, it is often beneficial to till
composted material into the soil. Recycling of garden wastes by composting is
also effective at reducing waste, although compost bins and piles should not be
located next to waterways or storm drains because leachate from compost
materials can cause contamination.
There are several benefits to environmentally friendly landscape design.
First, proper site planning can reduce maintenance requirements by selecting
native species and locating plants in areas where conditions are optimal for
growth requirements. Soil analysis can prevent overapplication of fertilizers
by eliminating uncertainty regarding existing soil fertility. Careful selection
of turf can minimize watering and fertilizer requirements by choosing grasses
that thrive in a particular climate. Minimizing turf area by replacing it with
ground cover, shrubs, and trees reduces mowing requirements, which subsequently
reduces air, water, and noise pollution. Efficient watering practices reduce
pollutant transport and erosion from runoff of wasted water. Mulches stabilize
exposed soils, prevent growth of nuisance vegetation, and improve soil
fertility through the slow release of nutrients from decomposition. Finally,
the reduction or judicious application of pesticides and fertilizers reduces
the probability of contamination, while ensuring that the maintenance
requirements of vegetation are being met.
It is important for municipalities to set a good example for residents.
To encourage the use of less-toxic alternatives by municipal crews, King County, Washington, and the City of Seattle voluntarily phased out the use of dozens of
pesticides (Johnson,
1999). The decision followed criticism that while the municipalities were urging residents to stop using weed killer and pesticides in yards to help endangered Chinook salmon, they were allowing municipal crews to apply herbicides in municipal parks and along roadsides.
Based on a study
by the City of Seattle, the municipalities phased-out the use of all hazardous Tier 1 chemicals.
Major health and safety concerns from pest outbreaks are excepted from the phase-out.
Environmental groups support the phase-out
and hope to see zero pesticide use in the future.
Groups representing agriculture,
landscaping, and timber interests oppose the plan. They warn that overwhelming weed, mosquito,
and rat problems will result. More information can be
found at the Seattle Pesticide Reduction website.
Municipalities can use environmentally friendly lawn and garden practices on their properties, and they can encourage residents to use the same practices in their yards. Such practices include landscape planning, integrated pest management, planting indigenous species, soil testing, and the reduction, elimination or judicial use of fertilizers and pesticides.
Planting drought-resistant plants and using Water Conservation Practices for Homeowners can be especially useful in areas of low rainfall. Areas of high rainfall
experience more erosion, so protecting exposed soils with vegetation and mulches is of
particular importance in these areas.
Siting and Design Considerations
The following guidelines describe ways in which municipalities can promote
environmentally friendly landscaping techniques:
General Programs. An effective public education campaign can help landowners understand the value of good yard practices. The Florida Yardstick, part of the Florida Yards and Neighborhoods Program (University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service, no date), helps landowners evaluate their yard. A 19 x 37 inch poster of a yardstick indicates credits homeowners have earned for recycling, fertilizing, selecting indigenous plants, and so on. The credits represent inches, the best yards adding up to 36. Landowners meeting the 36 inch goal are rewarded with a certificate. More
information can be found at the Florida Yardstick website.
Planning and Design. It is important that property owners develop a landscape plan that recognizes the property's natural conditions. For example, a landscape plan should recognize regional and climatic conditions. It should consider the site's topography and existing vegetation, and group plants together according to their water needs. The site's intended use should be considered. A thoughtful landscape plan will promote natural vegetation growth and minimize water loss and contamination. Residents and municipal crews can partner with local nurseries and irrigation and lawn services to determine appropriate landscape designs for a specific site.
Soil Analysis and Improvements. Residents
and municipal crews should be encouraged to test soils every 3 to 4 years to
determine the amount of nutrients necessary to maintain a healthy lawn. Municipalities
can encourage home and garden centers to market and sell soil test kits so that
property owners can perform such tests on their own. A local extension service can also perform soil analyses,
and their representatives can then provide suggestions for improving a site's ability to retain water and to support specific vegetation.
Appropriate Plant Selection. Encourage property owners and municipal
crews to choose local or regional plants when developing an environmentally
friendly landscape. Indigenous plant species are generally more water efficient
and disease resistant. Furthermore, exotic plants can potentially invade local
waterways. Local nurseries can assist
in choosing appropriate regional plant species.
Practical Turf Areas. Property owners and municipal crews should be encouraged to plant
non-turf areas where possible, because lawns require more water and maintenance
than wildflowers, shrubs, and trees. If
turf is used, it is important to select a type of grass that can withstand
drought and that becomes dormant in hot, dry seasons. Local nurseries can assist property
owners and municipal crews with selecting grass types. In
addition, when maintaining lawns, the grass should not be cut shorter than 3 to
4 inches in height. Mulched clippings should be left on the lawn as a
natural fertilizer.
Efficient Irrigation. Much of the water that is applied to lawns and
gardens is not absorbed by the vegetation. When water is applied too quickly,
it is lost as runoff along with the top layers of soil. To prevent this, it is
important to encourage the use of low-volume watering approaches such as drip-type
or sprinkler systems. In addition, encourage property owners and municipal
crews to water plants only when needed to enhance plant root growth and
avoid runoff problems.
Use of Mulches. Mulches help retain water, reduce weed growth, prevent
erosion, and improve the soil for plant growth. Mulches usually contain wood bark
chips, wood grindings, pine straws, nut shells, small gravel, or shredded
landscape clippings. Property owners
should be encouraged to use mulches and should be informed of the benefits of
these materials. Additionally, municipalities
can start a program to collect plant materials from municipal maintenance
activities as well as yard waste from property owners.
These materials can be converted to mulch
and used at municipal properties or redistributed to property owners.
Fertilizers. Property owners and municipal crews should be
discouraged from using fertilizers, or if they are used, from
over-applying them. Municipalities can recommend less-toxic alternatives to
commercial fertilizers, such as composted organic material.
Municipalities can also recommend practices to reduce the amount of
fertilizer entering runoff. For
example, slow-release organic fertilizers are less likely to enter stormwater. Application techniques, such as tilling
fertilizers into moist soil to move the chemicals directly into the root zone,
reduce the likelihood that the chemicals will be mobilized in stormwater.
Timing is also important:
Warm season grasses should be fertilized in
the summer, in frequent and small doses, while cool season grasses should be
fertilized in the fall. Also,
fertilizer should not be applied on a windy day or immediately before a heavy
rain. Municipalities can recommend that
property owners apply fertilizer at rates at or below those recommended on the
packaging or should apply fertilizer based on the needs of the soil (as
determined by a soil test). Safe disposal
of excess fertilizer and containers should be encouraged. (see Proper Disposal of Household Hazardous Wastes fact sheet.)
Pesticides. Like fertilizers, pesticides should be used on lawns and
gardens only when necessary. Pesticide use can be avoided by selecting hearty plants that are native to the area and by keeping them
healthy. It is important to identify any potential pests to determine if
they are truly harmful to the plant. The pests should always be removed by hand
when possible; chemical pest control should be used only when other approaches
fail. If it is necessary to use chemical pesticides, the least toxic pesticide
that targets the specific pest in question should be chosen (i.e., boric acid, garlic, insects, etc). If a pesticide is
labeled with the word "caution," it is less toxic than one labeled
"warning," which is, in turn, less toxic than one that is labeled
It is important to follow the label directions
on the pesticide. Property owners and municipal crews must wear the
appropriate protective equipment listed on the label when working with organophosphate
insecticides or concentrated sprays or dusts. Read and
follow all safety precautions listed on pesticide labels and wash hands and face before smoking or eating. Tools or equipment that were used to
apply or incorporate pesticides should always be rinsed in a bucket and the
rinse water applied as if it were full-strength pesticide. Any unused pesticide
can be saved and disposed of at a household hazardous waste collection location. (see Proper Disposal of Household Hazardous Wastes fact sheet.)
The following websites provide education and information regarding safe pesticide use and disposal:
Ordinances. Municipalities
can use ordinances as a means of controlling or preventing pesticide usage in
the future. For example, the city of Arcata, California, created an ordinance
that officially eliminated the use of pesticides on all city properties
(Californians for Alternatives to Toxics, 2000). This ordinance followed a
14-year moratorium on pesticides in which the city council and a citizen's task
force researched less-toxic alternatives to pesticide use. Municipal workers
adapted to the moratorium by devising innovative pest control methods, such as
covering the infield dirt in the baseball stadium with tarps between games to
prevent weed growth. Other methods that Arcata crews used to prevent weeds
included planting local plant species adapted to the city's climate; timely
mowing, irrigating, weeding, and thatching lawns; and performing regular street
maintenance such as sweeping and crack sealing.
The ordinance also mandates the creation of a pest control
management plan that will be linked to the city's stormwater discharge program
and includes a public education component. The text of the ordinance can be
found at the Californians for Alternatives to Toxics website.
There are virtually no limitations associated with implementing environmentally
friendly lawn and garden practices. Some practices are more applicable in
certain climates (for example, there is little need for irrigation practices in
areas of very high rainfall), but in general, all practices are low cost and
relatively easy to implement. With guidance from a local environmental agency,
extension service, or nursery, proper decisions can be made regarding which
practices are best for the site in question.
Using proper landscaping techniques can effectively increase the value of a
property while benefiting the environment. Attractive, water-efficient, low
maintenance landscapes can increase property values between 7 and 14 percent
(USEPA, 1993). These practices also benefit the environment by reducing water
use; decreasing energy use (because less water pumping and treatment is
required); minimizing runoff of storm and irrigation water that transports
soils, fertilizers, and pesticides; and creating additional habitat for plants
and wildlife.
Cost Considerations
Proper landscape activities are very cost effective. Promoting the growth of
healthy plants that require less fertilizer and pesticide applications
minimizes labor and maintenance costs of lawn and garden care. Using water,
pesticides, and fertilizers only when necessary and replacing store-bought
fertilizers with compost material can increase the savings for a property owner
as well as benefit the environment.

Maloof: We didn't know anything about Westphal's statement
Story Highlights
Co-owner Joe Maloof said the statement about DeMarcus Cousins wasn't approved
He said he's a firm believer that basketball situations should be kept in house
Maloof said it was team president Geoff Petrie's decision to fire Paul Westphal
Kings co-owner Joe Maloof told SI.com that Paul Westphal's statement alleging that second-year center DeMarcus Cousins demanded a trade was not approved before being released.
The statement clearly played a significant part in Westphal's ousting Thursday, and Maloof's revelation contradicts what was said by Westphal in the wake of his decision to send Cousins home for Sunday's game against the Hornets. Westphal previously indicated that team president Geoff Petrie had spoken with the Maloofs about the letter, but Joe said that was not the case. Petrie and Westphal did not return calls for comment, but a source with knowledge of the statement said Petrie certainly played a part in its publication.
The statement not only detailed the alleged trade demand, but was also highly critical of the mercurial player who was sent home.
"I didn't know about any letter," Maloof said by phone Thursday. "We didn't know about any of that. ... We didn't know about the statement or anything like that.
"They made a basketball decision, to sit him for a night and that's the only thing that we do know."
When asked if he was upset by the letter, Maloof said: "Well, we've owned the team 13 years and it's our belief that you keep basketball situations in house and not make them public. That did upset me. ... It's always been our history to keep things in the organization and not to make it public. As far as I was concerned, [Cousins] would sit the bench one night and that's all there was to it."
LOWE: Kings' issues run deeper than Westphal
Maloof confirmed a Yahoo! Sports report that assistant Keith Smart was close to signing a new deal to succeed Westphal, giving the former Golden State coach the reins to a team on a dysfunctional downward spiral since 2006, when they decided not to re-sign coach Rick Adelman. Smart will follow in the futile footsteps of Eric Musselman, Reggie Theus, Kenny Natt and Westphal in the five playoff-less seasons since then.
The Kings' lackluster start this season was a major factor in Westphal's firing, as they followed an opening win against the Lakers by losing five of their next six games by an average of 19.6 points.
Westphal took a monumental risk in handling Cousins the way he did, making it clear he didn't want the player to return to the team until he had proven to the coaching staff and his teammates that he was "buying in."
It appeared Westphal had Petrie's support, but sources say the long-time Kings executive quickly began distancing himself from the situation in the days leading up to the coach's ouster.
Cousins and his agent, John Greig, met with Petrie on Monday in Sacramento, and the decision was made to put him on the team plane for Denver, despite the fact that he was hardly apologetic for his alleged actions. Cousins had released a statement of his own through Greig, denying he had requested or demanded a trade and saying, "I don't agree with the actions taken, but will give my sincere effort to put it behind me and compete the best I can for my team."
Though Westphal was privately frustrated that his wishes regarding Cousins had not been granted, the steps toward his removal were slowly being taken back in Sacramento.
"It was Geoff and the basketball operation's decision [to fire Westphal in the final year of his contract]," Maloof said. "He thought it was time for change and that's what they decided to do. We appreciate everything Paul's done. He's been very, very professional, and is a terrific, classy guy. It's tough to do, but the time had come."
Why now?
"You have to ask Geoff," Maloof said. "I'm not sure about what specifically. The team wasn't playing as to where we expected it to be playing.
"Geoff thought there needed to be a change and we OK'd it. [The decision was] made yesterday afternoon. We're just going to continue to try to make our team better. We have to wait and try to find the right fit. It's not easy."

text: Josh Flint Consumers Are Wrong: We Do Have an Obligation To Feed the World Prairie Gleanings Teaching a country to farm is not an easy venture. Food exports are a huge revenue stream for the U.S. Published on: September 15, 2011 The Center for Food Integrity released a study this week that shows just how far removed consumers are from the farm. According to the survey, 40% of consumers strongly disagreed with the statement "The United State has a responsibility to provide food for the rest of the world." Instead, more than half agreed with a statement that said we should concentrate on teaching developing nations how to feed themselves, rather than export food to them. There are two very important issues here: maintaining a competitive advantage and providing for the needy. Teaching a third world country to farm is a noble enterprise. However, we should be working hard to develop export markets to developed countries such as China and India. I'm not sure consumers fully grasp this point of the discussion. The U.S. is great at producing food. It's a product we should work to market in the global economy. Just as Japan sells Toyotas over here, we should work hard to sell corn and soybeans in overseas markets. Of course, no one in a third world country is going to die if they don't have a Toyota. They will if they don't have enough food. One of the greatest parts of being an American means we are largely a nation that cares for the wellbeing of others. This can't be a sink or swim thing. We should try to teach developing nations to farm. In fact, a number of terrific U.S. philanthropies are doing that already. Howard Buffett and Bill Gates have poured millions of dollars into this venture. The culture and level of technology make this extremely difficult. In the U.S., farmers do not fear having their crop stolen by the U.S. military. In conclusion, maintaining that we should only concern ourselves with feeding ourselves ignores these two important points. The export market is worth a big chunk of change. Teaching a country to farm isn't an easy venture. For these reasons, I maintain that feeding the world is a very real goal and quite noble. If the U.S. concerned itself only with feeding its own citizens, the effects would be devastating to the rest of the world. Talk about a weapon of mass destruction!

Coping With Cancer in Everyday Life
More than 13 million Americans alive today have faced a diagnosis of cancer. Some of them have just been diagnosed or are going through treatment, while others no longer have active symptoms of cancer or are thought to be cured.
No 2 people with cancer are alike—just as no 2 friends or family members are alike. Everyone has their own way of coping with cancer. Here we will review how some people facing cancer have dealt with their feelings and their individual situations. This information comes from many people who have shared their thoughts and feelings about coping with cancer. They've shared because they believe it's helpful to hear from others who have been in their shoes.
The American Cancer Society can give you information about different types of cancer and cancer-related topics. At the end of this document, we have listed some resources that cover some other topics in depth. We also offer many patient service programs in communities throughout the country. To get the information and resources you need, call us anytime, day or night, at 1-800-227-2345, or visit our Web site at www.cancer.org.

During all of the serious business of changing administrations in Richmond, the outgoing governor traditionally plays a little prank on the new guy.
Bob McDonnell apparently continued the practice, placing a stuffed black bear in the governor's private bathroom.
This isn't the first attempt at bathroom humor at the Governor's Mansion; Mark Warner reportedly left a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself in the shower for Tim Kaine to find.

I'm quite glad to have seen this blog, thank you so much for all the great information on cameras and wonderful pictures, I will be sure to pass the url on to my more artistic family and friends....
XTsi Manual
In the April, 2011, HELP! column, Mike was wondering how to get a manual for his Minolta XTsi. He needs to go to www.orphancameras.com. There is no charge, just a suggested donation to maintain the site and manual collection. I've used this site with success.
Rosemary Elwell
via e-mail
Thanks very much for informing me of another source for Minolta camera instruction books. This site sounds interesting and I'll add it to my reference files. Lots of readers acquire older cameras and have need of correct information, so this will assist them greatly.
E-6 Processing, Wherefore Art Thou?
In the April, 2011, issue, Alexander French asked about E-6 processing. A lab I have used is Dwayne's Photo in Parsons, Kansas (800-522-3940; www.dwaynesphoto.com). They do E-6 in 120, 220, and push/pull. He can call them and they will send order forms. They also do all types of film and digital photo processing and their quality is high and prices are low.
Bob Lejuez
via e-mail
It's always good to know about labs that are doing good-quality slide processing, which is becoming more difficult for some readers to find.
Polaroid Clearance?
Q. I found a Polaroid 12-megapixel digital camera at Odd Lots on sale for $49 and am considering buying it. Is it worth the money? I would like to say that portraits and lighting have always been an interest of mine. I've learned much from Shutterbug. Since my cameras are 35mm film cameras from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, I enjoy reading about even cameras that are 40, 50, and 60 years old, or older. Thanks for the information, articles, and reviews.

A. We are pleased to hear that you find our mix of how-to, technical articles, and comments on older cameras interesting. It's difficult to say whether the 12-megapixel Polaroid you found on sale is a good value, as we have not tested it. It has been my experience that sale items at Odd Lots-type stores don't stay around very long or have been sold at very low prices to the store to clear out old inventory. Therefore, I would suggest you look for a digital camera with some extra features such as Aperture- and Shutter-Priority modes, manual focus, a moderate zoom range, and the capability of working with external flash.
Grey Market Repair
Q. I purchased a Nikon lens (Nikkor 80-200mm f/2.8) 8-10 years ago from one of your advertisers, from whom I'd purchased products before and since. Either unknowingly or knowingly, I can't remember, the lens was apparently "grey market." Autofocus on the lens died and I sent it back to Nikon USA for repair (not warranty) and they refused to repair it. I can understand not wanting to do warranty repair, but not repairing it at all does not make me very happy. Can you recommend an independent repair station to repair this lens?
Larry Robinson

A. I checked the classified ads in our Service Directory section of a recent issue and found at least two facilities that work on Nikon equipment. I called both and they said they should be able to repair your Nikkor 80-200mm lens if it is not too old and parts are available. Try contacting Authorized Photo Service in Morton Grove, Illinois (800-406-2046; www.authorizedphoto.com) or Mel Pierce Camera & Digital in Los Angeles, California (800-450-7468; www.melpiercecamera.com). The latter firm said they offer a free estimate when you send the lens to them to determine the exact problem. Other advertisers indicate they can work on Nikon equipment, too, but these two had Nikon listed more prominently in their ads, so I called them first. You might want to call some of the other firms listed in this section before you send your lens off. I guess this just emphasizes the old "buyer beware" situation when you purchase unusually low-priced equipment that might be "grey market"—problems that sometimes occur later in the item's life might be difficult to have fixed.
I'm quite glad to have seen this blog, thank you so much for all the great information on cameras and wonderful pictures, I will be sure to pass the url on to my more artistic family and friends....
Sometimes it becomes hard for them to survive without any kind of monetary assistance. In fact sometimes young talented artists too suffer from lack of support, but thanks to the efforts of John Studzinski they have a foundation where they can seek help.
Such help is a great relief for those who want to clarify their doubts, when it involves material goods there are bound to be some crucial issues.

Blue and White Wares
Property from a California Institution bequeathed by Mrs. Lou Henry Hoover
Blue and white tianqiuping from the Yongzheng period are very rare. Those that exist in recorded collections vary in size. For examples in the Qing Court collection with a closely related main body decoration see The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Blue and White Porcelain with Underglazed Red, vol. III, Shanghai, no. 82, and another no. 83 with fruit and floral sprays under a classic wave band at the rim. Lou Henry Hoover (1874-1944) was First Lady and wife of President Herbert Hoover (President 1929-1932), the 31st President of the United States. She was born in Waterloo, Iowa, the daughter of Charles Henry, a banker and outdoors-man. When Lou was eleven, the family moved to California. A tomboy, horsewoman and nature lover, she was the first woman to graduate in Geology from Stanford University in 1898. There as an undergraduate and student of Professor J. C. Branner, she met his senior assistant, Herbert Hoover, who was sent as a geologist for a British mining company to Australia in 1896. He proposed to her by cable from his post in 1898, and they left for China the day after their wedding in February, 1899, where Mr. Hoover assumed the post of Director General of the Department of Mines for the Chinese government. They spent the next two years in Tientsin (Tianjin), China, during which Mrs. Hoover learned to read, write and speak Chinese, and developed a passion for Chinese art, and in particular, Chinese porcelains. She became a guard for the city and a volunteer to build barricades during the Boxer rebellion of 1900. She and Mr. Hoover left Tientsin (Tianjin) after the siege was lifted for London, where Mr. Hoover inspected mines for Berwick, Moorehead and Company. They traveled through Europe and Asia. During their time in London, Mrs. Hoover began to study and collect Ming and Qing dynasty porcelain which she displayed in their home, the Red House. They remained in London until 1914, when Mrs. Hoover moved with their two children back to California. She commuted from Stanford to London to support her husband, who was Chairman of the Commission for Belgian relief; she was responsible for raising funds to send the first ship to Belgium from California. When the United States entered World War I, Mrs. Hoover joined her husband in Washington, D. C., where she worked with him in his new role as America's Food Administrator. During this time, she became heavily involved in the Girl Scouts, and in the women's division of the National Amateur Athletic Associate, which promoted her interest in women's athletics and in the great outdoors. After his years as Secretary of Commerce under President Harding, Herbert Hoover was elected President of the United States in 1929. Mrs. Hoover was responsible for renovating important rooms in the White House, many at her own expense. She was an active First Lady, who maintained her interest in the outdoors and in social causes. After leaving the White House in 1933, the Hoovers returned to California, where she became active in the Friends of Music at Stanford. Before the outbreak of World War II, President and Mrs. Hoover moved to New York to work for the Finnish Relief Fund. Mrs. Hoover chaired the Western Women's Committee which collected clothing for European war refugees. After a lifetime of service, Mrs. Hoover died from a heart attack in 1944.

Neuroradiologic Correlates of Cognitive Impairment in Adult Moyamoya Disease
2012; 33 (4): 721-725
MMD has been shown to result in impairment of executive functioning in adults. The purpose of this study was to correlate presurgical neuropsychological assessments with the severity of primary MMD as measured by CBF and CVR and with secondary damage from MMD as estimated by cortical stroke and WMD.A retrospective analysis of 31 adult patients with MMD was performed. Xe-CT was used to obtain CBF and CVR, and MRI was reviewed to grade cortical stroke and WMD. Two tests of executive functioning (FAS and TMT-B) were correlated with imaging findings. A multiple regression analysis was performed.There was a significant overall positive relationship between mean CBF and FAS (P = .038) and TMT-B scores (P = .014). A significant negative relationship was present between the WMD score and the FAS (P = .009) and TMT-B scores (P = .015). Per-region analysis demonstrated that FAS and TMT-B scores were significantly decreased by the presence of a posterior stroke (P < .0001 and P = .001) or WMD (P = .006 and P = .004). All patients with posterior parieto-occipital WMD or stroke also had secondary disease in the anterior regions.Impaired executive functioning in adults with MMD is most strongly associated secondary damage in the form of WMD or cortical stroke. The effect is most profound with parieto-occipital lobe involvement, likely a reflection of overall disease severity. Increasing global WMD burden may be a better indicator of cognitive decline than cortical infarction. Patients with higher baseline CBF seem to have better cognitive functioning.
