How To Make Chicken Parmesan
Oh how we love chicken parmesan—chicken cutlets, breaded and fried, smothered with tomato sauce, covered with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, and baked until the cheese is bubbly and melts into every nook and cranny.
Like its sister recipe, my mother's parmesan chicken (chicken nuggets dipped in melted butter, breaded and baked), this dish is pure comfort food.
It's one of those everyone-should-know-how-to-make recipes. It's easy and comes together quickly. In fact, it's hard to mess up! Chicken parmesan is also one of the best uses I can think of for boneless, skinless, chicken breasts.
One trick that will save a little time with making the sauce is to peel and grate the onion instead of chopping it. Use the large holes of a box grater. The onion will cook faster this way, release more of its juices, and your sauce will come together more quickly.

Cheesy Chicken Parmesan Recipe
Your sauce will only be as good as your tomatoes, so use a good quality canned tomato! We like San Marzano or Muir Glen.
Grating the onion will create smaller onion pieces and release more of the onion's juices, and is faster than chopping.
- 1/2 large yellow onion, grated (don't cut onion in half, just grate half of a whole onion), about 3/4 cup of grated onion
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 medium garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes (we use Muir-Glen)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Pinch of sugar
- 4 chicken breast cutlets (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total)
- Salt
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (we make our breadcrumbs running pieces of stale French bread through a blender)
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tbsp fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, sliced
1 Sauté onions, add garlic, add tomatoes and spices: First start the sauce and while the sauce is cooking you can proceed with the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Add the onions and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic. Cook until fragrant, about a minute more.
Then add the crushed tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to maintain the simmer. Cook, uncovered while you prepare the chicken (about 10-12 minutes).
2 Preheat oven to 400°F.
3 Pound cutlets thin: Place the chicken cutlets one at a time between two layers of plastic wrap or wax paper. Use a meat hammer, mallet, rolling pin, or even a heavy empty wine bottle to pound or roll the chicken pieces to an even thickness of 1/4 to 1/2-inch. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the cutlets.
4 Prepare breadcrumbs and eggs for dredging: In a shallow bowl (large enough to dredge the cutlets), mix together the breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan, and pinch of salt. In separate shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs.
5 Dredge cutlets and brown them: Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large sauté pan on medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering (not smoking) and a piece of breading dropped into it sizzles.
Working one cutlet at a time, dip the chicken cutlet into the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumbs. Working in batches as to not crowd the pan, place the dredged cutlets into the pan.
Lower the heat to medium and gently fry the chicken cutlets until they are golden brown on each side, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
6 Arrange sauce, cutlets in baking pan, top with basil and cheese: Spread enough tomato sauce to thickly coat the bottom of 9x13 casserole pan or baking dish. Once the cutlets are browned on both sides, arrange them on top of the tomato sauce in the baking dish.
Spoon tomato sauce over each of the cutlets. Sprinkle the tops with sliced basil. Then lay slices of mozzarella over each cutlet and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese.
7 Bake: Bake in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, or until the mozzarella begins to brown.
Serve with pasta and the remaining sauce, or in a large bread roll.

Cooking up new businesses
One of the biggest hurdles facing new businesses is the investment often required just to get off the ground. That is especially true for entrepreneurs whose businesses are food-related. Health regulations for restaurants and food companies serve an important purpose, but they also increase the investment needed to start a business. So I was thrilled Monday when Marion County Economic Development Director Teresa Huffman spoke with the County Commission about starting a certified commercial kitchen using grants, and making that kitchen available for new food businesses to rent.
In the approximately 4.5 years I've been in Marion County, I've had the pleasure of featuring several excellent cooks, bakers, and jelly-makers. All of them make products that match or exceed the quality of most mass-marketed equivalents, and I think there would be a strong market for such artisanal wares from local kitchens. And I'm sure there are dozens of others whose products would be just as popular.
It's easy to dismiss a small-town food company as a pipe dream. But don't tell that to Marilyn Hanshaw and Connie Allen in my hometown of Washington, Kan. They created MarCon Pies more than 25 years ago, and the business has grown to sell about 2,000 pies per week, or 7,000 per week around the holidays. I've even seen MarCon pies at Carlsons' Grocery in Marion. MarCon Pies is one of two reasons most people know of Washington (the other is Kansas Specialty Dog Service, where service dogs are trained), and it all started with two people baking pies.
I'm not certain it would be best to convert one of the kitchens in the county lake hall for this purpose — it would be best if the facility didn't step on the toes of other needs. Likewise, I doubt a halftime employee would be necessary to manage and promote such a kitchen. But Huffman has the right idea. Business recruitment — bringing in businesses from elsewhere — is a tall order. Reducing the barriers to local entrepreneurs following their dreams is a much better strategy. There might be a lot of strikeouts, but a single home run would be well worth it.

A "sky crane," shown in this illustration, successfully lowered Mars Science Laboratory the final few feet to the Martian surface at approximately 12:31 a.m. CDT August 6. The rover quickly transmitted a few thumbnail images, with full images scheduled for later in the day. The crane winched MSL's Curiosity rover down a cable to its safe touchdown.[NASA/JPL]
You are here
Sky Crane
The plan for landing the Curiosity rover on Mars sounds like something created by the "Mythbusters": Use a heat shield, a parachute, retrorockets, and a "sky crane" — a hovering platform that'll winch the rover the final few feet to the surface. Oh, and you've got just seven minutes for the entire sequence — and unlike one of the Mythbusters' favorite sayings, failure is not an option.
Curiosity is scheduled to land tonight in Gale Crater, a wide basin with a tall mountain at its center.
The crater may once have been filled with water. During its two-year main mission, the nuclear-powered rover will look for evidence of that ancient water in layers of rock at the base of the mountain, plus the rocks and dirt around the mountain. Its measurements will help scientists determine whether the region was habitable in the distant past.
That mission depends on a successful landing, which is the most complicated yet attempted.
A precisely controlled entry into the Martian atmosphere should place Curiosity inside a target landing zone that's just 12 miles long.
Earlier rovers used airbags to cushion their final drop. But Curiosity is too big for that — it weighs a ton, and it's the size of a minivan. Instead, a rocket-powered descent stage will hover just 65 feet above the surface and use the sky crane to winch the rover to a gentle landing — and the start of the most extensive exploration of the Martian surface to date.

When there are rumors of a new Apple product, the world waits with bated breath. Yesterday was no different as Apple, after wide speculation, announced the new iPad. gdgt, a Rackspace Cloud Sites customer, was able to support the big announcement without any hiccup whatsoever. While other blogs were cratering because of the massive amounts of traffic, the gdgt blog remained stable and fast, exemplifying the power of hosting at Rackspace.
While the end result may look easy, it's actually a large undertaking that requires preparation and collaboration. We not only had close coordination between our support and operations teams, but also were in in communication with the customer while the event was in progress. Having the only stable and reliable site covering Apple's new iPad announcement truly demonstrates the power of Fanatical Support™, marrying our knowledge and desire to serve with some great technology.
Ryan Block, cofounder of gdgt, offered some of his insights into what made the event such a success. "We've been working with Rackspace on our live event coverage for quite a while now. We continue to work with them because of the great service and awesome support," Ryan said. "There are plenty of providers who can throw a lot of boxes at a problem, but few can pair that with great support. Rackspace was actually able to deploy technicians to work with our team in real time, which is crucial under incredibly high load. That's something that you don't just get anywhere else, and it can make the difference between staying up and crashing and burning."
Here are some stats of how massive this event was:
• 55,697,141 requests serviced for the event (excluding content serviced by the Rackspace Cloud Files CDN).
• Over 110,000 Concurrent Connections
• 4 load balancers supporting the site through DNS round robin
• 61 total web servers
As you can see, this was a huge amount of traffic! This event shows that when Rackers and customers work together, we can achieve amazing results.
This isn't the first time that Rackspace has hosted a successful live event with gdgt, read how we kept their site up during an Apple Keynote in 2011. Check out gdgt for some of Ryan Block's first impressions of the new iPad.

DETROIT - Free agent first baseman Prince Fielder and the Detroit Tigers agreed Tuesday on a nine-year, $214 million contract that fills the AL Central champions' need for a power hitter, a person familiar with the deal said.
CBS first reported the agreement.
The person told the Associated Press that the deal was subject to a physical. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract was not yet complete.
Detroit boldly stepped up in the Fielder sweepstakes after the recent knee injury to star Victor Martinez. A week ago, the Tigers announced that the productive designated hitter could miss the entire season after tearing his left ACL.
The Tigers won their division by 15 games before losing in the AL championship series to Texas. Adding Fielder gives the Tigers two of the game's premier sluggers, pairing him with Miguel Cabrera.
The move also keeps Fielder's name in the Tigers' family. His father, Cecil, became a big league star when he returned to the majors from Japan and hit 51 home runs with Detroit in 1990. Cecil played with the Tigers into the 1996 season.
Several teams had shown interest this winter in the 27-year-old Fielder, who had spent his entire career with Milwaukee. He visited Texas, and the Washington Nationals also got involved in the discussions.
The beefy slugger hit .299 with 38 home runs and 120 RBIs last season. He is a three-time All-Star and was the MVP of last year's event in Phoenix.
Fielder has averaged 40 homers and 113 RBIs over the past five years. He's also been among the most durable players in the majors, appearing in at least 157 games in each of the last six seasons.
The deal is only the fourth $200 million contract in baseball history, following Alex Rodriguez's $275 million, 10-year contract with the New York Yankees, A-Rod's $252 million, 10-year deal with Texas and Albert Pujols' $240 million, 10-year contract last month with the Los Angeles Angels.
Among current players, his $23.78 million average salary is behind only A-Rod ($27.5 million), Ryan Howard ($25 million), and Cliff Lee and Pujols ($24 million each).
Detroit general manager Dave Dombrowski said last week he felt finding a replacement for Martinez was a short-term problem, but he left himself some wriggle room, saying it depended who the player was.
Acquiring Fielder opens all sorts of possibilities, such as moving Cabrera to third base or having one of the two sluggers be the designated hitter.
AP Sports Writer Ronald Blum in New York contributed to this report.

Gates demands better schools as Gates-backed school closes
Funds drop out
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates displayed the timing of a percussionist suffering from the DTs when he called for more US education funding in an editorial for the Washington Post.
In the piece published Sunday, Gates celebrated San Diego's High Tech High as an example for educators trying to improve the state of US schools. The Microsoft founder's fondness for the school is understandable given that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation pumped money into the project meant to supply youngsters with a technology-laced liberal arts education.
But just before the Gates editorial appeared, word broke that one of the hi-tech schools in the heart of Silicon Valley will be shut down because of a lack of funding and students.
The board of directors behind the High Tech High in Redwood City – the home of Oracle – last week voted unanimously to mothball the school less than two years after it opened.
Parents and students broke down in tears during a meeting about the school, saying they were promised a five-year commitment to keep the project going.
Gates never mentioned this closure in his well-intentioned piece.
"Companies must advocate for strong education policies and work with schools to foster interest in science and mathematics and to provide an education that is relevant to the needs of business," Gates wrote Government must work with educators to reform schools and improve educational excellence."
Much of BillG's editorial focused on the US's need to create an engineering savvy, innovative workforce. And, rather tellingly, Gates pointed to the US inventions such as the transistor, integrated circuit and microprocessor – not software – as examples of where this country has done well in the past.
"The most important factor is our workforce," he wrote. "Scientists and engineers trained in U.S. universities - the world's best - have pioneered key technologies such as the microprocessor, creating industries and generating millions of high-paying jobs."
That's a funny remark coming from a man who once chastised Intel co-founder Gordon Moore during a tirade saying, "You make the sand. I will do the software."
Ribbing aside, Gates should be commended for keeping the US education woes in the press and for working to do something about the problem.
You can expect to read more pieces like the last since Melinda Gates in on the board of the Washington Post. ®

I have been tragically ignoring the Beer of the Week feature of this blog while concentrating on the last few Savoy "Cocktails". I aim to rectify this oversight moving forward!
I was reading Jeff Allworth's post on Beervana, asking for interesting beers that are sessionable: A Wish for Irregular Beer
But does it have to be? Will pale lagers always be "regular," or will our consciousnesses expand such that some future generation has a broader definition? We are at the moment when it's not entirely preposterous to suggest the answer may be yes. If so, we're doing God's work today, brewing and praising this beer that is still irregular to the vast majority of the world.
…and also Jason Wilson's recent article in the SF Chronicle: In Search of Great Session Beer
What exactly are we looking for in a session beer? A session beer "can't be insanely hopped, syrupy with residual sugar, or funkier than hell," according to Lew Bryson, a respected beer and whiskey critic and managing editor of Malt Advocate. "You want a beer with a decent amount of flavor, and one that you can drink steadily, but not crazily, for several hours. And still be able to play cards without losing the house."
In Jason's article, he mentions the Stone Collaboration Ale "San Diego Session Ale" as one of his top picks.
I agree! A collaboration between Ballast Point, Kelsey McNair of North Park Brew Co, and Stone Brewing, it is an intensely hoppy beer that somehow manages to maintain balance and interest at a "mere" 4.2% ABV, as Jason notes, "the same alcohol as Bud Light". Now if it were only available in six packs or on tap somewhere!

Priests for Life has known for
some time of the grisly trade in baby parts taking place in abortion facilities
throughout the nation. Through the efforts of our friends at Life Dynamics,
Inc., the details of this trade have come to light. You may obtain from Life
Dynamics (1-800-401-6494) copies of the actual order forms used. Some of the
forms request that there be no abnormalities. Many mistakenly think that
abortions in later stages of pregnancy are performed only in cases of fetal
Fetal tissue wholesalers are companies which place employees in abortion clinics
to harvest tissue, limbs, organs, etc. from aborted babies. This material is
then shipped to researchers working for universities, pharmaceutical companies
and government agencies. Although it is against federal law to sell human tissue
or body parts, these organizations have devised a system to circumvent this
restriction. Technically, all fetal material they harvest is "donated" to them
by the clinics. However, they do pay a "site fee" to the clinics for the right
to access the tissue. The tissue is then "donated" to the researchers who in
turn pay the wholesalers for the cost of retrieval. Profit is realized by the
wholesalers' ability to set their own retrieval fees.

Sooners Blitz No. 23 TCU, 35-10
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- Ask Sam Bradford about his big numbers or Oklahoma's potential to sit atop the college football rankings, and he'll tell you exactly what all that means to him.
''Absolutely nothing,'' Bradford said. ''We've still got a long way to go before we even think about where we're ranked in the polls. Right now, they pretty much don't mean anything.''
If this week proved anything, it certainly showed that Bradford's opinion is spot on. The second-ranked Sooners (4-0) were the only team in the top four that emerged unblemished, beating No. 24 TCU 35-10 Saturday night behind his career-best 411 yards passing and three long touchdown catches by Manuel Johnson .
With top-ranked Southern California, No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Florida all losing, Oklahoma (4-0) made as strong a case as anyone to get back to No. 1 for the first time since it lost to Kansas State in the 2003 Big 12 championship game.
''It's a good thing, definitely a good thing, but we won't look at it,'' said cornerback Brian Jackson , who had his first interception of the season among the Sooners' four takeaways. ''The rankings don't mean anything until the end of the season.''
It didn't matter the Horned Frogs (4-1) felt they'd been called cheaters following their 2005 upset in Norman, or that they brought in the nation's top-ranked defense. Oklahoma aired it out behind Bradford and found the same success it had in winning its first three games by a 164-42 margin.
Bradford found Johnson for first-half scores of 76 and 55 yards on plays when his defender stumbled, and Johnson added another 63-yard TD in the third quarter on a screen pass to push the lead to 35-3.
By then, the Sooners' 21st straight home victory was as good as locked up. The streak, which started after TCU's upset, ties the second-longest in school history. Only a 25-game streak that ended in 1957 was longer.
''It's always a good thing to win,'' Sooners coach Bob Stoops said. ''Believe me, it's not easy to do.''
Bradford's passing total was a career best and the third-highest in school history, behind only a pair of performances by Josh Heupel the year before he was the 2000 Heisman Trophy runner-up. Johnson broke Mark Clayton 's record with 206 receiving yards.
''When they bring receivers in here, they always want to label them the next Mark Clayton ,'' Johnson said of the former Baltimore Ravens first-round draft pick. ''I don't think there's anybody that's going to be the next Mark Clayton .''
Oklahoma struggled to get a running game going, picking up only 25 yards on 36 carries against a TCU defense that was giving up only 30.5 yards rushing per game, the least in the nation.
Bradford made up for that by going 19-for-34 and throwing four touchdown passes to push his total for the season to 16, against only two interceptions.
His numbers have been even more impressive than last year, when he led the nation in passing efficiency, in Oklahoma's new no-huddle offense. Stoops called that scheme the reason the Sooners closed scrimmages this year, but TCU was left with the impression that Oklahoma thought they'd cheated by spying on practice prior to their 17-10 upset in the 2005 season opener.
The Frogs were never close to pulling off a repeat.
TCU, which had controlled the ball for an NCAA-best 37 minutes per game, got only one first down on its first four drives and fell behind 21-3. The only score came on Ross Evans ' 32-yard field goal that followed Aaron Brown 's 75-yard kickoff return.
By the end of the first quarter, Bradford had 202 yards passing - the most by an Oklahoma quarterback in a first period. Johnson passed Clayton's record of 190 yards, set in 2003 against Texas, as he zipped downfield after catching the screen pass - a perfect play-call against TCU's aggressive defense.
''You can't give up big plays and win ball games,'' TCU coach Gary Patterson said. ''A lot of that was my fault. I tried to blitz it ... I was trying to get them into downs where we could make them punt, and they made big plays.
''The bottom line to it is when we quit doing it as much, we played better defense.''
After that, the Sooners spent most of the time pounding the ball up the middle and trying to run out the clock.
It was a luxury USC, Florida and No. 9 Wisconsin didn't have. All three had been upset by the time the Sooners took the opening kickoff, and Georgia joined them with a loss to No. 8 Alabama.
That left a scramble for the top spot, and the Sooners capitalized.
They didn't seem to miss injured defensive tackle Demarcus Granger (left foot) and created three first-half takeaways - including two fumbles recovered by Lendy Holmes - against a TCU offense that had only one turnover through its first four games.
The Frogs also hurt themselves with 12 penalties, and backup quarterback Marcus Jackson threw another interception in the final minute after Andy Dalton had been taken off with an injury.
Dalton ended up with 212 yards on 16-for-39 passing. TCU was held to 102 yards rushing, less than half its 249-yard average, on 35 carries.

Boomer Bytes | View Main
Updated each weekday morning and following games, Boomer Bytes is your quick guide to Sooners in the news:
Arash Markazi of Sports Illustrated: "No team in the country is as explosive as Oklahoma. The Sooners came into the game outscoring opponents 164-42 and were second in the country with a 40.7 average margin of victory. They looked well on their way to a fourth straight 50-plus point outburst and blowout after jumping out to a 21-3 lead, but seemed to sleepwalk after taking a convincing lead."
From College Football News: "This is one coldly efficient team. The offensive line had its worst game of the year in the win over TCU, there was no running game and the pass protection was spotty, but Sam Bradford and Manuel Johnson went ballistic with the big plays to put the game away early..."
Tim Griffin of ESPN: "Talk about revenge. The Sooners broke this one open in the third quarter and cruised so easily that fans started filing out of Owen Field long before the game was over. TCU might have won four of its last five games here, but I'm betting that Gary Patterson will have a long memory of this one after it's over."
John Klein of the Tulsa World: "It was not dominating or overpowering, like Oklahoma's first three victories. But, against a quality team, OU won comfortably. That should be more than enough to push the Sooners to No. 1 in the polls. Yet, the 35-10 victory over TCU will give the Sooners plenty to work on as the Big 12 season gets underway."
Chuck Carlton of the Dallas Morning News: "On an extended football weekend where No. 1 Southern California, No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Florida were all upset, the Sooners survived with an exclamation point. After a week of hearing how TCU had dominated in Norman in 2005, the Sooners asserted themselves..."
John Hoover of the Tulsa World: "Bob Stoops says the last time TCU came to Memorial Stadium, his Oklahoma Sooners were way overrated. This time, the Sooners may have been way underrated. That could be rectified soon."
John Rhode of the Oklahoman: "I'll vote for 'em," Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson said of putting OU atop the new USA Today coaches poll. "They are very deserving. In this day and age, if you win all your football games you deserve the right. They have a good football team. They are very athletic..."
John Hoover of the Tulsa World: "That's because OU overwhelmed the 24th-ranked Horned Frogs 35-10. If Oklahoma does emerge atop the polls, it'll be their first time at No. 1 since the end of the 2003 regular season. If the Sooners are No. 1, it'll be their 96th week in the top spot, a national record they've shared with Notre Dame for five years."
From CBS: "With Southern California loss to Oregon State on Thursday night and Georgia's loss to Alabama, we now predict Oklahoma will meet the Crimson Tide in the BCS National Title. The Sooners would be playing in their fourth national title game and trying to add a second BCS crown in the decade."
John Rhode of the Oklahoman: "Not only did Holmes recover two fumbles, he never quit on the Horned Frogs' first kickoff return when Matt Moreland broke loose and seemed destined for an 86-yard touchdown return. Holmes caught Moreland from behind at the OU 11-yard line and TCU had to settle for a field goal."

Patch 5.1: Wrathion Quest Line
The last thing we heard from Wrathion were his instructions to await the fleet's arrival in Patch 5.1. After meeting the scout, and clearing the way, the fleet will arrive.
You can then visit Wrathion again, who wants to learn more about Varian. You must then prove that your faction should win the war by earning Revered with him, which is done by killing forces of the opposing faction in Krasarang Wilds. There are some side quests along the way, such as winning 10 battlegrounds or taking a group to kill a general.
After you are revered, Wrathion will call you back to tell you what he has learned about Varian. This is seemingly where the quest line stops for now. It may be incomplete, as the Horde side of the quest line is not even added yet.
That isn't all Wrathion is doing in this patch however. Warlocks can obtain a Sealed Tome of the Lost Legion that is sealed. After binding it to you and consulting with one of your demons, you can take it to a Warlock trainer to find out more about it.
You then visit Wrathion, who asks you to read Legacy of the Masters (Part 1). You are then sent to General Nazgrim / Admiral Taylor to let him know that you are going to try and recruit The Council of the Black Harvest to aid in the fight against the Alliance / Horde.
Next, you infiltrate the opposite faction's base to obtain the second part of Legacy of the Masters. You retrieve Jubeka's Journal from them, which has clues as to the location of four Soulstone fragments that contain memories. Once you have collected them all, you combine them and follow the source of the power to the Black Temple.
You then follow Kanrethad and Jubeka's trail to the top of the Black Temple. While on your way there, Akama will make another appearance in the area where you fought Bloodboil. He is under attack by forces you unleashed in the Reliquary of Souls, so you assist him and then make your way to the summit.
Once there, something happens that creates The Eye of the Storm. You then return to Wrathion to try and find out what it is. He doesn't know anything about it, but is willing to ask his agents. They are busy with the Horde and Alliance war, so you will have to wait until Patch 5.2 to find out what happens next!

I have a question about missions. As we read in Matthew, God sends the sun and the rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. What part does humanitarian aid play in our responsibility as Christians?
You ask a good question. Matthew 5:43-45 does indeed speak to the question you ask. What our Lord said requires that we love those whom God loves. There is a school of Calvinist Christians who say that God does not love those destined to everlasting condemnation, but those verses cannot mean that. If we are to imitate our Father in heaven in giving good things to both evil and good, and if that good from us is called love, how can we say that God does not love (in some respect) those reserved to everlasting damnation? (Compare Romans 2:4-6.) Also, in considering Matthew 5:43-45, we should not overlook Matthew 5:46-48.
From this perspective, "humanitarian aid in foreign missions" is in order. Paul says in Galatians 6:10, "So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." That puts a higher priority on doing good to Christians (they are our brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ), but that does not free us from general benevolence to unbelievers.
Now, since you mention foreign missionaries (though the same principle applies to those of us around here), deeds of kindness and mercy are to be administered to all people as means and opportunity permit. But what is the type of good to be given? In dire situations of starvation or life-threatening injury, we don't ask questions; we act in the belief that preserving life is our duty under the sixth commandment. That is the lesson of Jesus' parable of The Good Samaritan.
But if loving deeds to relieve human poverty and suffering are in order (because God commands such), what is the greatest need of needy people? Consider Mark 2:1-13. There the immediate need was physical healing for the paralytic, but our Lord pronounced forgiveness of his sins and indicated that physical healing was intended to show "that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins."
On the mission field, isn't that also the highest priority? And the foreign missionary does not possess the insight to know who God has chosen for salvation. So we minister to the needs of the needy in hope that our benevolence will lead to their salvation.
Thus it is a rule that when we minister relief to needy people, we minister it with the good news of the gospel. For example, our clinic in Karamoja, Uganda, turns no one away, but we give the gospel with the medicinenever medicine alone! In fact, whenever we share with a needy person at home, we ought to share Jesus too.
So, simply to give money to an alcoholic to assuage his "hunger" is not true love. As a pastor, I've been approached by hundreds who had a "good story," but most of them, I learned later, wanted my benevolence to spend it on their lusts. So, whenever possible, tie benevolence to Christ and man's need for Him. (That's the problem of government welfare. Worthiness is defined by law, and Christians can get into trouble when they think they are ministering Christ's love with their government-sponsored giving.)
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke during chemotherapy
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I have a friend who is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer following a mastectomy. I have a problem with her family's continued smoking in the home and car with her. I have been looking for some research that I could show them demonstrating that passive smoke is harmful to chemotherapy patients. Can you point me in the right direction?
Barbara Campling, MD, Medical Oncologist at the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
It is not surprising that you have a problem with your friend's family smoking in the home and car with her. You would probably have a problem with this even if your friend did not have breast cancer. Your question is whether there is any evidence that her exposure to environmental tobacco smoke will be harmful while she is on chemotherapy.
There is really nothing in the medical literature which specifically addresses this issue. However, there are some publications in related areas which may give some clues. Is your friend herself a current or former smoker, and if so, is this in any way related to her breast cancer diagnosis? There have been dozens of studies examining the question of whether active or passive smoking increases the risk of breast cancer. Here are two review articles (1; 2), as well as a recently published study on this subject (3). The results are inconclusive at best, with some studies showing a positive association of breast cancer risk with active smoking, others showing no association, and others showing a protective effect. The bottom line is that there may be a slightly increased risk of developing breast cancer in current or former active smokers compared to never-smokers. There is not likely any significant effect of passive smoking on breast cancer risk.
Does passive smoking increase the toxicity or decrease the effectiveness of chemotherapy? There are no studies of which I am aware which answer this question. However, there is abundant evidence in a variety of cancers (including lung, breast, colon, prostate, cervix, kidney, head and neck cancer and melanoma) that never-smokers or ex-smokers have a better survival than continuing smokers. For example, a recent study of small cell lung cancer patients showed that those who stopped smoking prior to receiving chemotherapy and radiation survived longer than those who continued to smoke (4). In all these studies, the effect of active smoking on outcome was significant, but relatively small. Since the exposure to tobacco carcinogens is much lower in people exposed to environmental tobacco smoke, I would not expect to see any effect of passive smoking on cancer survival.
I think it is unlikely that her relatives are doing any measurable harm to your friend by smoking in her presence. However, they are certainly harming themselves. Should they stop smoking? Absolutely! How can you approach them about this? This could be a difficult situation. You should remember that smoking is a very powerful addiction, and smoking cessation is an enormously difficult process. External stresses (such as a cancer diagnosis in a family member) will make it even more difficult for them to quit. Most smokers know they should stop, and want to quit but are unable to do so. Simply telling them to quit is not likely to have any effect. The motivation will have to come from them. They should consult their physician about medications to help with smoking cessation and smoking cessation support facilities which are available in your area. It won't be easy for them.

Partner Highlight: Port Discovery Children's Museum
Did you catch the new Nano mini-exhibition on display in the NISE Network booth at ASTC this year? After the exhibit hall closed down, the mini-exhibition made its way to its new home at Port Discovery Children's Museum in Baltimore. Port Discovery has actively been building a platform of STEM learning for their young audience, focusing on stimulating curiosity and self-direction through authentic first-hand encounters with objects, images, and processes upon which science is based. Their partnership with the NISE Network has strengthened this platform, creating an ideal opportunity to debut the mini-exhibition.
To help introduce the concept of nano to their young visitors, Port Discovery is working with the University of Maryland MRSEC to develop a series of interactive experiences to support the mini-exhibition and offer young children the opportunity to experience what it is like to be a scientist. Highlights will include a model clean room that allows visitors to don a "bunny suit" and a scanning probe microscope made out of Lego's that really works! Researchers from MRSEC will staff the exhibit, giving visitors a chance to interact with a real scientist. The components provided by the University of Maryland are tentatively set for installation in January 2012.
Another key element of the Nano mini-exhibition experience at Port Discovery is the "Small Wonders" activity cabinet. Made possible through a NISE Network mini-grant, this area includes a dress-up space where children can try on lab coats, a "Measure Yourself in Nanometers" station, and supplies for facilitated activities and demonstrations that leverage a number of NISE Net programs. This flexible format has created a new model for programming at Port Discovery and has been well received by both staff and visitors.
The exhibit will also be used for guided school group programming. It will be available for school groups grades 1st through 5th and will give students an extended experience. Additional demonstrations and activities will provide an introduction and reinforce the concept of nano.
Port Discovery will be evaluating the impact of the mini-exhibition and the supporting experiences over the next year. For more information, contact Nora Moynihan (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Sarah Draude (email@example.com).

Book Review: Emily Rapp, The Still Point of the Turning World (Penguing: 2013), 260 pp.
In Emily Rapp's powerful new memoir, "The Still Point of the Turning World," the "worst possible news" arrives right in the second sentence: "our son, Ronan, then nine months old, had Tay-Sachs disease, a rare, progressive and always fatal condition with no treatment and no cure."
But you should keep reading. Rapp has written a beautiful and passionate elegy for her son, a book that offers deep wisdom for any reader. In poetic language that is always grounded in the reality of her family's day-to-day effort to cope with unimaginable pain, Rapp journeys through the terror of hearing Ronan's diagnosis — "his death sentence, really" — to the slow, painful acceptance of death:
"Tucked inside the moments of this great sadness — this feeling of being punctured, scrambling and stricken — were also moments of the brightest, most swollen and logic-shattering happiness I've ever experienced," Rapp writes. "I realized you could not have one without the other, that this great capacity to love and be happy can only be experienced with this great risk of having happiness taken from you — to tremble, always on the edge of loss."
Part of Rapp's initial shock comes from the fact that she had been tested for Tay-Sachs while pregnant and her results came back negative: not a carrier. She later discovers that only the nine most common mutations are covered in the standard Tay-Sachs screening; Rapp and her husband were unknowing carriers of a different, more rare mutation. "Never having been one to believe that statistics were on my side," Rapp writes, ". . . I did everything to cover all the bases, get the results, to know."
She reflects upon "our hopeful delusion that being good people might keep chaos at bay. But chaos finds everyone." Fewer than 20 children are born in the United States with Tay-Sachs per year; like Ronan, most of them are "born to parents who didn't know they had anything to worry about."
The book is not a day-by-day account of Ronan's demise but instead a series of meditations on life, death, and acceptance. "How do you parent without a future?" she wonders, a theme she returns to several times in the book. "For parents of terminally ill children, parenting strategies incorporate the grim reality that we will not be launching our children into a bright and promising future, but into early graves."
Although "[t]his was absolutely depressing," she writes, ". . . the experience of being Ronan's mom was not . . . without wisdom, not without . . . a profound understanding of the human experience, which includes the reality of death in life that most parenting books and resources fail to acknowledge."
Rapp finds that "parenting without a future" is a radical act, focused not on improving one's child or preparing him for adulthood, but simply being with him, loving him. "Sitting with Ronan on the couch I often thought, How can I make this moment more precious? and then I'd realize with a sense of panic that no additional meaning needed to be sought or found. This was all there was."
This wisdom is something she began to intuit when she was just a child. Rapp was born with a congenital disorder that led to the amputation of her left leg when she was 8, an experience chronicled in her previous book, "Poster Child.'' She coped by pushing herself to achieve and be an inspiration to others.
As a young girl she was quoted in her local newspaper saying, "If you believe in yourself, you can do anything," and she did: She skied, she biked, she swam. But eventually all the striving began to wear on her psyche. As an adult she began to question the "pursuit of happiness" itself, the never-ending, rarely questioned American quest for improvement. "People get sick with this idea of change; I have been sick with it," she admits. In Ronan's presence, the hollowness of this hunger for perfection finally becomes real to her.
There's no avoiding it: "The Still Point of the Turning World" is a heartbreaking book about every parent's worst nightmare. But it is very much worth reading. It's neither a horror story nor a trite tale of triumph over adversity. "What can be learned from a dying baby?" Rapp asks at one point, as if daring the reader to answer. There are no tidy lessons here, but instead a dark, beautiful sky full of possible constellations of meaning, threads of resonance on the subjects of life, death, healing, illness, friendship, family, grief, and love.
Ronan was almost 3 when he died on Feb. 15, after the book went to press, but it's clear the lessons he left behind came from his life and not from its end. "Ronan taught me that children do not exist to honor their parents," she writes, "their parents exist to honor them." Emily Rapp has done that and much more in this beautiful tribute to Ronan's rich and meaningful life

Well I started with 20 broccoli plants and now there are 6. I'm the unluckiest gardner in the world. I expected I'd lose a few after transplanting them into larger pots but this takes the cake. Two more things happened to kill them off besides transplanting. First I let them out on a sunny (and windy) day to harden them off. The wind and sun burned them and some of them died. They died from shock. I have to remember to shade them on the first few days of hardening them off. Well, yesterday I had them sunning on the back porch and forgot to bring them in for the night. So a raccoon found them and flung them across the porch. I have a whole family of raccoons in my yard and they are, cute as can be, vandalizing punks. The weather has been so wishy washy I don't know when I'll put the broccoli in the garden. In other gardening news I started the seeds for everything I'm planing this year. The planting list this year goes like this: Peppers, Tomatoes, Squash, Watermelon, Sunflowers, Eggplants, Bee Balm, Thyme, Sweet Marjoram, Onions… Every year I have this vision of me picking this huge BOUNTY. I'm in the garden with bushel baskets running over. It never quite turns out the way I envision. But I never give up hope that this will be the year.
It's not an official blog until you flash your pussy. So here it is! lol My cat Sweety Pie. He is a stray that showed up a few years ago. When he first arrived he was very afraid of me and I could tell he was an abused runaway. Now I'm able to pet him profusely. I think his previous owner must have beat him really bad because he was afraid of every sudden movement you would make. He also has a blood stain in his eye, which was worse when he first showed up. He also seemed and still does seem mentally challenged. He will not get out of the rain and until recently didn't wash himself with his tongue. I don't have pets, unless you count the fish in my coy pond. I love animals but I don't like them in my house. I only take care of strays that show up in my yard and that keeps me pretty busy. I have a problem with Sweety Pie pooping in the garden, which really gets on my nerves. I think I have a way to stop it though. This year I'm putting fake snakes on the edge of the garden beds.
A cute story about SweetyPie. When he first showed up I had another stray cat Bootsy, who has since died (sad story), that sort of helped him learn the ropes I guess. He would talk to Sweety (you know by meowing) and he showed him how to ask for food. Bootsy walked up to me and let out a meow like he always did when he wanted to be fed, as Sweety watched shyly from a few feet away. And after he let out the meow he walked over to Sweety, like, all, that's how you do it. And Bootsy nodded for him to try it and he did. Except Sweety has a broken voice that doesn't work well. And it was the sweetest thing. He had my heart at a weak meow.
Speaking of abused animals. My heart was broken last week when I saw the news report about the largest meat recall ever. The footage of those sick animals being tortured like that made me lose my shit. I went to a very dark place. What really made me lose my shit was that the animals that were being tortured were already sick. We all know how it is to be sick with the flu or something. Can you imagine being sprayed with water into your nose while sick with the flu and being forced to stand up?
Newest obsession: Weekend Vampire. Their new CD is the perfect spring soundtrack. Goes great with the whole boat shoe trend.

New Regulation
Major Revision of Existing Regulation
Minor/Technical Revision of Existing Regulation
Reaffirmation of Existing Regulation
Repealed Regulation
(1) Section 1010.03, Florida Statutes, requires the University of North Florida to exert every effort to collect delinquent accounts. The purpose of this regulation is to establish procedures for collection of delinquent debts owed to the University by University employees, other than debts based on educational loans made or guaranteed by the University or the State of Florida, which are governed by Section 112.175, Florida Statutes.II. STATEMENT OF REGULATION (2) Definitions: (a) Debt - a sum of money owed by an employee to the University or a fixed and certain obligation by an employee to pay money to the University. A debt may be a single sum or obligation or an aggregate of separate debts. Debts include, but are not limited to the following: registration fees, returned checks, traffic and parking fines, parking permits, library fines, educational resources fines/sales, graduation fees, health services, unpaid childcare services, rental fees, housing, physical education equipment, travel advance reimbursements, disallowed revolving fund reimbursements, overpayment to employees, and miscellaneous charges. (b) Employee - any paid part-time or paid full-time employee of the University; (c) Settlement - a written agreement by the University to accept a sum of money or other consideration from an employee in full satisfaction of the employee's debt. (3) Delinquency. A debt is delinquent on the first day following the date on which the debt is due as specified in any debt instrument, agreement, application, or University regulation or policy, as the case may be. If a due date is not specified, the debt is delinquent on the third day following the date on which the University provides the employee written notice that the debt is due. The University may provide such notice by U.S. Mail to the employee's last known residence address or by email addressed to the employee's University email address. Delinquent debts bear interest and penalties if and as provided by the debt instrument, agreement, or applicable law. (4) Initial Collection Efforts. For delinquent debts other than returned checks, the University unit to which an employee has incurred the debt is responsible for the initial efforts to collect it. Such initial efforts will include contacting the employee in writing to inquire about payment and other routine and informal actions to arrange for the employee to pay the debt. If the University unit is unsuccessful in collecting the debt, it will refer the debt to the Office of the University Controller for further action. At the time of referral, the University unit shall supply to the University Controller: (i) the source of the debt, including a copy of any debt instrument or agreement; (ii) the employee's name and University ID number (N number); (iii) the original amount of the debt; (iv) the amount of any interest or penalties owed, including the basis for interest or penalties; (v) a record of all payments made on the original debt; and (vi) any documentation of efforts to collect the debt. Prior to commencing collection procedures, the Controller will verify the amount of the delinquent debt with the University unit. (5) Controller's Collection Procedures. Following referral of the delinquent debt to the Controller by the University unit, the debt will be entered in the University's Accounts Receivable billing system and the employee will be billed accordingly. If the University does not receive full payment of the delinquent debt within ten (10) calendar days following the date of the first billing, unless substitute payment arrangements have been agreed upon by the University, the employee will be notified that the University will set off the employee's debt against the employee's wages as more particularly provided in Section (7). (6) Form of Payment. Payment of an employee's delinquent debt may be made by money order, certified or cashier's check, eCheck, credit card, cash payroll deduction, or expense reimbursement reduction. Payment of the debt by personal check is discouraged, but will be accepted if the employee has not, prior to the date of payment, presented a check returned by the bank for insufficient funds. (7) Set-Off for Delinquent Debts other than Returned Checks. The employee will be notified by certified letter, return receipts requested, (a) that the University will collect the delinquent debt by deducting funds from the employee's wages or expense reimbursement due; (b) that, in order to delay or avoid such a set-off, the employee has ten (10) calendar days following receipt of the letter (i) to pay the delinquent debt in full, (ii) to make payment arrangements satisfactory to the University, (iii) to submit documentary evidence disputing the debt or the amount of the debt, or (iv) to request administrative review of the decision to set-off; and (c) that a deduction of funds from the employee's wages or expense reimbursements will commence without additional notice following expiration of the ten (10) day notice period unless the employee has taken one of the actions identified in subsection (7)(b) above. (8) Calculation of Payroll Deduction for Delinquent Debts other than Returned Checks. (a) If the amount of the employee's delinquent debt is less than ten percent (10%) of the employee's bi-weekly gross wages, the full amount of the debt will be deducted from the employee's pay in the first or second bi-weekly pay period following the expiration of the ten (10) day notice period described in Section 7. (b) If the amount of the delinquent debt is greater than ten percent (10%) of the employee's bi-weekly gross wages, an amount not exceeding ten percent (10%) of the employee's bi-weekly gross salary will be deducted from the employee's pay in each pay period until the debt is satisfied. (c) To the extent the calculation of payroll deduction is limited by applicable law to a sum less than that calculated under this Section 8, the University will limit the payroll deduction to the amount permitted by applicable law. (9) Set-Off and Calculation of Payroll Deduction for Returned Checks. When a check written by an employee to the University is returned uncollected, the employee shall be notified by certified letter, return receipt requested, (a) that the check was returned; (b) that the employee is required to make full payment of the check and return check charge within ten (10) calendar days from receipt of the letter; and (c) that, if the employee fails to make full payment within the ten (10) day period, a deduction of funds from the employee's wages will commence without additional notice following expiration of the ten (10) day notice period. The full amount of the returned check and return check charge shall be deducted in the first of second pay period without regard to the amount of the delinquent debt. (10) Expense Reimbursement Reduction. An employee's delinquent debt shall be applied against the amount of any expense reimbursement due from the University to the employee without additional notice following expiration of the ten (10) day notice period described in Section 7, unless the employee has taken one of the actions identified in subsection (7)(b). (11) Delinquent Debts of Departing Employees. In the event that a delinquent debt is owed by an employee departing employment with the University for whom final pay has not been issued, the entire amount of the debt shall be applied against the employee's final pay. If the amount deducted from the employee's final pay is insufficient to satisfy the debt, the University may undertake additional steps to collect the debt, including, without limitation, referral to a private collection agency for action. (12) Means of Collection. In addition to the set-off of delinquent debts, the University Controller's Office may undertake any additional lawful steps to collect delinquent debts, including, to the extent permitted by law: (a) Issuing University collection letters; (b) Sending the debt to a collection agency. The employee will be responsible for payment of all collection fees, including penalties, late fees, attorney's fees, and court costs, which may add over 33 1/3% to the balance of the indebtedness. (c) Withholding transcripts or current grades; and (d) Withholding University registration.Specific Authority 1010.03 History-New. Approved by the BOT 1-17-12; Amended and approved by the BOT June 16, 2017.

MacPherson Ridge
Day 1. General John Reynolds died in the first hour. The Iron Brigade suffered over 60% casualties this day. The Michigan 24th suffered 80% casualties.
Gettysburg Day 1
Lutheran Seminary
This served as a hospital for Day 1 casualties. Captured by the Confederates on the Afternoon of Day 1. All medical personnel and equipment taken. No help for the wounded until after Day 4 when the armies had moved on. The civilians took over their care.
End Day 1
Little Round Top
This is one of the icon places people think of when you say Gettysburg.
Lt Colonel Warren
Colonel Warren moved the troops onto the Round Tops when they were left exposed by General Sickles. Setting up the fight of the 20th Maine.
Devils Den
This is where the Confederates faced off against the Union up on Little Round Top
Whats in a Name
The pile of Rocks right center is Devils Den. The trees from center to left center are called the Slaughter Pen, and between the two is a marshy area with a small stream running though them call Bloody Run. The brutality of these places is well named.
End Day 2
General Longstreet
Picketts Charge
12,500 confederates marched from Seminary Ridge toward the Union position of Cemetery Ridge. Only about 6,000 of them came back
The March
The fence is the Emmitsburg rd. About half way.
Near the High Water Mark
The brown monument in front of the canon is about as far as the 26th North Carolinians got. The Rhode Island battery opened up with double canister and decimated them. Words fail me.
View from the Union Side
This is behind the Rhode Island battery. From either side, the view is horrifying.
The Angle
The tree right center marks the corner of the Angle. The 26th NC met it's fate off to the right. The Stone wall was briefly breached to our front. The canon on the extreme left is about where General Armistead fell mortally wounded. And that ended the fight.
End Day 3
General Lee
General Mead
The Results
I'm listing combined casualties, North and South. 51,112 killed, wounded, captured, missing. These numbers happened over just 3 days. Even through the lens of history it's almost to much to comprehend. One thing most people forget is this battle happened in SE PA in July. it was 90 plus degrees with high humidity. Staggering.

8-8-10 PNC Park
My plan for today was to go and search the Riverwalk weeds/tall grass for baseballs. If I found one, my streak in tact, I would enter the stadium and try and get a few more baseballs, regardless of if there was batting practice or not.
There were a good number of balls that left the stadium the previous two days, and I had not yet searched outside to see if any got caught up in the grass.
After about five minutes of searching, I saw this:
It was ball #1.
Game: 5 balls (3 thrown, 1 device, 1 found)
Season: 408 balls (211 hit, 91 thrown, 52 device, 54 found)
Games: 62 games
Average: 6.58 balls per game
2010 Game Balls: 5
Career: 986 balls
Streak: 158 consecutive games attended with at least 1 ball snagged.
Attendance: 22,716

January 23, 2007
LOS ANGELES - The Wilbur K. Woo Greater China Business Conference returns to UCLA Anderson February 1-2, 2007. Scholars and business leaders – from the United States as well as China, Taiwan and Hong Kong – will convene to discuss and debate business trends, challenges and the impact of China's integration into the global economy. Woo ('42), vice chairman emeritus of the board of Cathay General Bancorp, conceived of the conference with a $500,000 endowment to the university. The 2007 event, titled "Entrepreneurial Spirit – Pacific Vision," showcases a variety of economic and other issues of concern to global business leaders. This year's conference has completely sold out but planning is already underway for next year.
Panels will examine the emerging entrepreneurial ties and business opportunities between the U.S. and China. "The purpose of the conference is to get people from China to come here to speak with local business people and have panel discussions that expand and inform the economic and political dialogue between the two regions," Woo says. "The study of the China economy as it relates to the U.S. is very important, but there are additional aspects to explore. In the future, we may enlarge the field of study to include the political situation in China as well."
Woo, who earned his undergraduate degree from UCLA in business administration, says his gift to establish the conference was a natural outgrowth of his lifelong relationship with UCLA. "When I attended, of course, there was no Anderson," he notes. "As I grew older, I appreciated what I experienced at UCLA and decided I wanted to do something for the school." Woo foresees a time when exchange programs between Chinese and U.S. students, plus scholarships for traveling students, will become an integral element of the Anderson- Greater China relationship.
