One Pot Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta
Y'all know I love one pot pasta dishes, and I know a lot of you do too. They're quick, easy, and pack a lot of flavor into one little dish that needs to be cleaned at the end. Well, when I saw this One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta from Damn Delicious, I instantly knew that it was a blank canvas waiting for customization. So here's my own custom spin on that wildly successful pasta, One Pot Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta.
I took the basic formula (buter + garlic + chicken broth + milk + pasta + parmesan) and jazzed it up a bit with a handful of sun dried tomatoes. The tomatoes add a little tang and a slight sweetness to the pasta that really takes it to the next level. The deep red color leeches a bit into the sauce, giving it the most beautiful golden hue. I made a few other small modifications to accommodate the sun dried tomatoes and came away with an incredibly fast and impressive weeknight dinner.
The quantity of this One Pot Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta can easily be scaled down to feed two, or doubled for a crowd. But, as with other "quick method" cheese sauce pastas, they're definitely better when freshly prepared. I've been happily eating the leftovers, but the texture does change quite a bit as it begins to cool (the flavor stays on point). If you're texture sensitive, you'll want to eat it ASAP after cooking.
I can't wait to play around with this basic recipe some more. I'm thinking of all sorts of fun things to add in (broccoli? spinach? red pepper? BACON?). If you try any fun add-ins, be sure to share your results in the comments below!
One Pot Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta
- 2 Tbsp butter ($0.26)
- 2 cloves garlic ($0.16)
- 2 cups chicken broth* ($0.25)
- 1.5 cups whole milk ($0.47)
- 8 oz fettuccine ($0.50)
- 12 pieces sun dried tomatoes ($0.82)
- Freshly cracked pepper ($0.05)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan ($0.35)
- Cut the sun dried tomatoes into small pieces and set aside. Mince the garlic and sauté it with butter in a deep skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or just until it's soft and fragrant (don't let it brown).
- Add the chicken broth, milk, fettuccine (I like to break it in half first), sun dried tomato pieces, and a healthy dose of freshly cracked pepper (15-20 cranks of a pepper mill) to the skillet. Make sure the pasta is submerged below the liquid.
- Place a lid on the pasta and allow the liquid in the skillet to come to a boil. Once it reaches a boil, give it a quick stir to make sure the pasta is not stuck to the bottom. Return the lid to the top, turn the heat down to low (or just above low), and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir briefly every 4-5 minutes as it simmers to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the skillet.
- If the pasta is still very soupy at that point, remove the lid and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes more, or until the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly. Once thickened, sprinkle the Parmesan over top and serve. The sauce will continue to thicken after the pasta is removed from the heat.

Step by Step Photos
First chop about 12 pieces of sun dried tomatoes into smaller bits. Remember, they plump up some as they cook, so the pieces can be fairly small.
Mince two cloves of garlic and add them to a deep skillet (3 qt) along with 2 Tbsp of butter.
Sauté the garlic in the butter over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or just until the garlic is soft and really fragrant. You don't want to let the garlic or butter to turn brown.
Next add 2 cups chicken broth, 1.5 cups milk, 8 oz. of fettuccine (I break mine in half first to make stirring easier), the chopped tomato pieces, and a healthy does of freshly cracked pepper (about 15-20 cranks of the pepper mill).
As usual, I used Better Than Bouillon to make my broth because it's inexpensive and has GREAT flavor. Plus, you can mix up any quantity you need and this little jar has a super long shelf life (refrigerated). #notsponsored
Make sure all the pasta is below the liquid, then place a lid on the skillet. Let the skillet come up to a boil. When it reaches a boil, give it q quick stir to make sure the pasta isn't beginning to stick to the bottom. Return the lid to the skillet, turn the heat down to low (or just slightly higher), and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Make sure you stir it a few times while it's simmering, just to keep the pasta from sticking. If the heat is too high or the skillet is very thin, it's more likely to stick and scorch. This is what mine looked like after 10 minutes, still a bit soupy. Also, if the liquid looks like it has little clumps or curdles, don't worry, it all smooths out in the end.
If it's still a bit soupy, just leave the lid off and let it simmer sans lid for a few minutes and the sauce will reduce and thicken a bit. You still want a decent amount of sauce, though. After about 3 minutes more, I liked the consistency of my sauce (it will continue to thicken, though, after it's removed from the heat).
Sprinkle 1/4 cup grated Parmesan over the pasta. I didn't even really stir mine in, I just kind of let it coat the top of the pasta, which was kind of pretty.
And then it's ready to eat! If you have parsley laying around, you can add some to the top to make it more colorful and pretty (which I did, because I'm a food blogger and my life depends on pretty pictures), but it's not necessary for flavor.
It was insanely difficult to eat just one bowl of this.
I mean, how can you resist a pasta like this??
As an added note, I used Delallo fettuccine, which is by far my favorite brand of pasta (on sale for $1/lb.! Woohoo!). The pasta is thick and has an incredible texture on the surface, which really grabs onto this amazing sauce. #notsponsored


text: The European Union foreign ministers meeting in Luxembourg have struggled to identify a unified response to the refugee crisis as thousands of people from war-torn countries continued to stream into Germany via Austria. The last train carrying an estimated 1,000 refugees pulled into Germany's Munich from Austria at 1:30am local time on Sunday (23:30 GMT), bringing the total to have arrived in the Bavarian capital to about 8,000 in less than two days. They seemed dazed by the calls of "Welcome to Munich", from the few dozen well-wishers remaining at around midnight, as well as by their determination to thrust chocolate bars, bananas or bread rolls into their hands. Whoever still thinks that withdrawal from the EU or a barbed wire fence around Austria will solve the problem is wrong. Johanna Mikl-Leitner, Austrian interior minister OPINION: Europe's policy did not kill Aylan Kurdi A similar total is expected to arrive in Munich later on Sunday. Many of the refugees said they were fleeing the civil war in Syria, while others were from Afghanistan or Iraq. German interior ministry spokesman Harald Neymanns said Berlin's decision to open its borders to Syrians was an exceptional case for humanitarian reasons. He said Europe's so-called Dublin rules, which require people to apply for asylum in the first EU country they enter, had not been suspended. "The Dublin rules are still valid and we expect other European Union member states to stick to them," he said. After days of confrontation and chaos, Hungary deployed more than 100 buses overnight to take thousands of the refugees who had streamed there from southeast Europe to the Austrian frontier. Austria said it had agreed with Germany to allow the refugees access, waiving the asylum rules. "Every refugee I spoke to was glad they left the horrendous experience they said they had in Hungary these past few days," Al Jazeera's Mohammed Jamjoom, reporting from the Austrian town of Nickelsdorf, said. "People here were provided with clothing, blankets and tents," he said. Hungary, the main entry point into Europe's borderless Schengen zone for refugees, has taken a hard-line, vowing to seal its southern frontier with a new, high fence by September 15. Hungarian officials have portrayed the crisis as a defence of Europe's prosperity, identity and "Christian values" against an influx of mainly Muslim refugees. 'Failed policy' Budapest has been heavily criticised for its position, but the country's foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, said Hungary should not be blamed for adhering to the EU rules. A "failed migration policy of the European Union" and "the series of some irresponsible statements made by European politicians" were to blame for the crisis, Szijjarto said. EU foreign ministers met in Luxembourg on Saturday to brainstorm possible solutions, but the usual diplomatic conviviality unravelled as they failed to agree on any practical steps out of the crisis. Hamsa and her family cross into Austria after desperate journey from Syria Ministers were especially at odds over proposals for country-by-country quotas to take in asylum seekers. "Given the challenges facing our German friends as well, all of Europe needs to wake up," Austrian Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said. "Whoever still thinks that withdrawal from the EU or a barbed wire fence around Austria will solve the problem is wrong." British Finance Minister George Osborne said Europe and the UK must offer asylum to those genuinely fleeing persecution, but must also boost aid, defeat people-smuggling gangs and tackle the Syrian conflict to ease the crisis. Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann called on Sunday for an emergency EU summit to resolve the refugee crisis, saying his country's admittance of thousands of refugees crossing from Hungary was just a "temporary" measure. Pressure to take effective action rose sharply this week after pictures flashed around the world of a drowned three-year-old Syrian-Kurdish boy, Aylan Kurdi, washed up on the beach of a Turkish resort, personalising the collective tragedy of the refugees.

Many of our (potential) customers ask us whether we are accredited.The answer is YES we are! However, it is not clear to everyone what this accreditation implies and what the added value of an accredited certification body is. Therefore: a short explanation on the subject of accreditation.
Which accreditation body is accepted?
Each Member State has one accreditation body, or "notified body". For example The Netherlands has the RvA, Germany has the DAkkS and England the UKAS. All these accreditation bodies are affiliated with the IAF/MLA: an international establishment that registers all notified bodies and issues mandatory documents on a globale scale. It is possible that a certification body is accredited by multiple establishments, as long as they are registered with the IAF/MLA and are therefore internationally recognised.
What does an accreditation mean?
An accreditation body is designed to monitor the certification bodies in a professional, impartial and independent manner and can also be known as a conformity assessment body. The certification bodies are assessed through tests on, among others, national (NEN, DIN & BS), European (EN) and international (ISO and IEC) standards. The aim is to give the customer confidence and to have this trust be justified by an official institution. The accreditation body shall review the certification body at least once a year. In this review all operation processes and the qualification of the auditors will be assessed.
An accreditation may be granted after an extensive procedure for different standards. The certification body is entirely free to have not only the conformity assessment accredited for various industries, but also the EN-ISO/IEC 17021:2015, i.e. ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and/or ISO/IEC 27001. Please note that an accreditation is not an obligation and certificates may also be granted by non-accredited, certification bodies.
Accreditation of QMS International
QMS International has been accredited in Germany since 2005 and results therefore under the German accreditation body DAkkS, part of the Bundesministeriums für Wirtschaft und Energie (BMWI). QMS International's processes are assessed by the DAkkS several times annually. In addition, the accreditation body demands various witness audits. This means that the accreditation body may also carry out witness audits at customers locations and their systems.
For QMS International, getting accredited means that our processes are assessed, justified and confirmed by the DAkkS and are internationally registered under the IAF. Something we are very proud of!

UPLAND, Pa. (CBS) – Police in Upland, Delaware County say an unidentified man is facing assault and weapons charges following a late Tuesday night stabbing incident inside the Emergency Room of Crozer Chester Medical Center.
A hospital official says it started as an argument between two people inside the ER. Two men, said to be related, accompanied another patient to the hospital. They became embroiled in a dispute and one of the men allegedly pulled out a kitchen knife and stabbed the other man.
The injured man has been treated for a non life threatening stab wound and was expected to be released this morning. The suspect was taken away in handcuffs by police.
No hospital employees were threatened or hurt.

Hospital Associated Infections
Hospital-Associated Infections (HAI) are infections you get from hospitals while being treated for something else. These infections can be related to medical devices or to a surgery. These infections can cause you to spend more days in a hospital which can impact health care costs. It is important to note that many HAIs are preventable.
You can read about infections that occur in hospitals on this website. One of these infection types is bloodstream infections or central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs). These infections have been a focus in Maryland for the past several years. Maryland hospitals have reduced the number of these bloodstream infections through various prevention methods. Since reporting began, these bloodstream infections in intensive care units have been reduced by more than 50 percent.

This is needed for example if you have 5.1 playback 44100 with 32kHz 2 channel capture (USB microphone). - Complete the pa_channel_position -> dwChannelMask mapping - Use MulDiv instead of pa_bytes_to_usec or pa_usec_to_bytes in a few places. - Rendering buffers no longer have to be a multiple of period size. There are 2 places that still have those calls, but in worst case it will make a 50 ns difference for the reported device periods, while the one in AudioClock::GetPosition is disabled until it's determined how to handle interpolation of IAudioClock::GetPosition, if that's still going to happen. I believe with this I addressed all issues and comments raised in V8, and looking forward to any constructive feedback and test results of V9. In particular, I'm interested in XAudio2 results with windows version set to vista or higher, so that it uses mmdevapi directly winmm and dsound should be able to work unmodified, but you may want to lower ds_snd_queue_max to 3 or 4 to decrease latency on dsound games. It seems dsound doesn't respect mmdevapi in that regard or 2 periods might have been possible. It would have been nice if it did. :( -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...

What happens when a group of talented computer science students at the University of Washington get to play with a HoloLens device for 10 weeks as part of a first-of-its-kind class?
Well, a little bit of everything.
The UW hosted a demo day on Thursday afternoon for its first-ever virtual and augmented reality capstone class that gave students from one of the nation's top computer science departments a chance to develop apps for Microsoft's HoloLens device.
The energy inside the UW CSE building was buzzing as attendees tested out an array of fun and entertaining futuristic applications that ranged from making spring rolls to playing chess to learning piano to flying paper airplanes to destroying giant eyeballs.
"Some of the projects were really mind-blowing," said Ed Lazowska, the Bill & Melinda Gates Chair for UW CSE. "What UW students manage to achieve in 10 weeks is amazing."
This past spring, the department teamed up with HoloLens mastermind and Microsoft veteran Alex Kipman, who helped bring 25 HoloLens devices to campus for the students to use for the past 10 weeks.
Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, who helped teach the course, called it the "world's first-ever HoloLens class."
"It was a pretty unique experience for everyone," she noted.
The class is a "capstone" course meant to give students a chance to form four-person teams and work on quarter-long projects, eventually coming up with functioning applications that were on display Thursday.
"It's been really interesting knowing that we're some of the first ones to get our hands on these things," said first-year PhD student Isaac Tian, who answered GeekWire's questions while donning a HoloLens headset.
The HoloLens apps, which you can check out here, included everything from "KeyboARd," which helped people learn how to play piano, to "Augmented Cooking," which had the longest line of folks on Thursday wanting to test out a demo that taught users how to make a spring roll.
There were eight teams that developed software on the HoloLens platform, while another team created a multiplayer game using both the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.
The applications weren't perfect, but given the time constraints and novelty of the technology, the projects were impressive.
"The hardest part was trying to fine tune our ideas that we wanted to do in the amount of time we had," said Michelle Cho, a fourth-year undergrad student. "We only had 10 weeks to build a fully-working app that had no lag and didn't crash."
The students, who had access to the Microsoft HoloLens development team throughout the quarter, all seemed to agree that their capstone class was a ton of fun. But it definitely wasn't easy.
"We were all really terrible at interacting with HoloLens at first because we had no idea how to do it," said Sonja Kahn, a fifth-year masters student.
But they quickly picked up new skills throughout the quarter, learning how to use platforms like Unity and other 3D development tools.
Steve Seitz, another instructor who taught the course, explained that a key part of the class was allowing students to come up with their own ideas for applications.
"We intentionally did not want to influence them," he explained. "It was sort of like Kickstarter — they pitched ideas and we were effectively venture capitalists who helped guide them along those ideas, and shape them into things they could develop within 10 weeks."
There was plenty of failure and stress throughout the quarter, the students said. Experimentation was a key theme.
"Thinking about the applications was hard because we don't really have test cases to learn from," said Panji Wisesa, a fifth-year graduate student. "We just try it out, try it out, and try it out. That's what we had to do."
The class also featured an impressive list of weekly guest speakers with expertise in VR and AR. Folks like Clay Bavor, Virtual Reality VP at Google, and Ashraf Michail, the software architect for HoloLens, stopped by each week to share knowledge and insight with the students.
There were a number of high-profile tech executives trying out the demos on Thursday, including people like Madrona Venture Group's Soma Somasegar and Microsoft Research Corporate Vice President Peter Lee.
Michael Abrash, chief scientist at Oculus who also was a guest speaker this quarter, showed up again on Thursday and spent time testing the apps and meeting with students. Both he and Kipman declined to answer GeekWire's questions.
Seitz said that the inspiration for the class came about given all the new VR and AR devices arriving on the market.
"It just seemed like a great opportunity to expose students to the technology and see what they could build with it," he said.
In addition to learning how to develop software for new devices and platforms, the students also said they've been able to understand what could be improved.
"It's familiarized us with the technical weaknesses at this point," said UW graduate student Nick Reiter. "But alongside that, you also get to see glimmers of new directions this technology might take, beyond what you've seen in marketing. It's definitely made us feel very strongly that something is going to be very important in this field."
There are plans to offer a similar course next fall. Seitz added that VR and AR "very well might be the platform for the future of computing."
"It's useful for the students to experience this and learn the skills, because it's likely they'll be able to use that in their future software engineering lives," he said.

An urgent request from my friends at the Toxic Free Legacy Coalition:
The legislature passed a bill, ESHB 2647, that will help ensure our children have safe toys to play with and utensils to eat with. The bill will eliminate three toxic chemicals, lead, cadmium, and phthalates, from toys and other children's products. It will also require manufacturers to report whether their products contain other chemicals found to be of a concern for children's health.
It now faces one more step, the Governor's signature. Fierce industry opposition threatened to stop the bill's passage in the legislature, and is now directed toward the Governor.
You can help! For this final step, please call Governor Gregoire, thank her for her support for children's health and the environment, and urge her to sign the full Children's Safe Products Act into law!
The number for the Governor's Office is (360) 902-4111 or you can send an email through her website.
The Children's Safe Products Act passed the state Senate on a vote of 40-9. The bill previously passed the House 95-0. The bill contains some of the toughest toy safety provisions in the nation. Ensure the Governor signs it in full!

Public Policy News
Join Sherry Glied, Dean NYU/Wagner School and Kosali Simon, Associate Provost for Health Sciences at Indiana University/SPEA in this virtual happy hour. Policy talk, optional!
2018 Institutional Member Forum
May 1, 2018 | 8:30 am – 4:00 pm | Duke University
Continuing the dialogue around evidence-based policymaking discussed at last spring's APPAM Institutional Member Forum, Duke Policy Bridge at the Sanford School of Public Policy and Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management (APPAM) hosted a 2018 topical forum on how to build research and policy partnerships around the prevailing national issue of opioid misuse.
Opioid misuse is a major epidemic across the nation. Local and state officials bear the burden of responses to the epidemic and need assistance coordinating research and resources. As observed through Duke's and other institution's collaborations with state government on this issue, research universities can provide valuable resources and expertise to government leaders.
This Institutional Forum, held at Duke University's Penn Pavilion, connected the worlds of research and policy across this escalating public health epidemic, and was a valuable opportunity for academics, researchers, and policy officials to exchange best practices for research and policy support in the face of this crisis.
Watch the livestream of the two plenary sessions, as well as two of the breakout sessions.
Welcome and Plan for the Day
Opening Plenary Session: Lessons Learned and Policy Needs
This plenary focused on the need for research-policy partnerships in the opioid crisis. The panelists discussed instances when these partnerships have been helpful and areas where expertise and ongoing research are still needed.

Bear Stearns and EMC Mortgage Settle Charges
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Bear Stearns Companies, LLC and its subsidiary, EMC Mortgage Corporation, have agreed to pay $28 million to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that they engaged in unlawful practices in servicing consumers' home mortgage loans.
The companies allegedly misrepresented the amounts borrowers owed, charged unauthorized fees, such as late fees, property inspection fees, and loan modification fees, and engaged in unlawful and abusive collection practices. Under the proposed settlement they will stop the alleged illegal practices and institute a data integrity program to ensure the accuracy and completeness of consumers' loan information.
"Like other companies that send a bill, mortgage servicers must make sure that the amount they say is due really is the amount due," said Lydia B. Parnes, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "Consumers have the right to expect accuracy from the company that collects their mortgage payments."
As stated in the FTC's complaint, Bear Stearns and EMC have played a prominent role in the secondary market for residential mortgage loans. During the explosive growth of the mortgage industry in recent years, they acquired and securitized loans at a rapid pace, but they allegedly paid inadequate attention to the integrity of consumers' loan information and to sound servicing practices. As a result, in servicing consumers' loans, they neglected to obtain timely and accurate information on consumers' loans, made inaccurate claims to consumers, and engaged in unlawful collection and servicing practices. These practices occurred prior to JP Morgan Chase & Co.'s acquisition of Bear Stearns, which became effective on May 30, 2008.
According to the complaint, EMC is the mortgage servicer for many of the loans Bear Stearns and EMC acquired. Many of these loans are subprime or "Alt-A" (less than prime) loans, including nontraditional mortgages such as pay option adjustable rate mortgages ("pick-a-payment" loans), interest-only mortgages, negative amortization loans, and loans made with little or no income or asset documentation. EMC's loan servicing portfolio has grown significantly in recent years; as of September 2007, it serviced more than 475,000 mortgage loans with a total unpaid balance of about $80 billion.
The complaint charges Bear Stearns and EMC with violating the FTC Act, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and the Truth in Lending Act's (TILA) Regulation Z.
FTC Act Violations: The defendants are charged with unfair and deceptive loan servicing practices in violation of the FTC Act. They allegedly misrepresented the amounts consumers owed; assessed and collected unauthorized fees, such as late fees, property inspection fees, and loan modification fees; and misrepresented that they possessed and relied upon a reasonable basis for their representations about consumers' loans.
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Violations: The defendants allegedly violated several provisions of the FDCPA in collecting loans that were in default when they obtained them. They also allegedly made harassing collection calls; falsely represented the character, amount, or legal status of consumers' debts; and failed to communicate that debts were disputed. In addition, they allegedly used false representations or deceptive means to collect, and failed to send consumers a validation notice containing the amount of the debt and the consumer's right to dispute the debt and obtain verification of the debt.
Fair Credit Reporting Act Violations: The FTC alleges that the defendants furnished information about consumers' payment status to credit reporting agencies (CRAs). When consumers informed the defendants that they disputed the completeness or accuracy of the reported information, the defendants failed to report the dispute to the CRAs as required by the FCRA.
Truth in Lending Act's Regulation Z Violations: The complaint also states that the defendants charged borrowers a loan modification fee, typically $500, and automatically added the fee to the modified loan's principal balance. In doing so, the defendants failed to provide the borrowers with required TILA disclosures.
The proposed settlement requires Bear Stearns and EMC to pay $28 million to redress consumers who have been injured by the illegal practices alleged in the complaint. In addition, the settlement bars the defendants from future law violations and imposes new restrictions and requirements on their business practices. Specifically, the settlement:
bars the defendants from misrepresenting amounts due and any other loan terms;
requires them to possess and rely upon competent and reliable evidence to support claims made to consumers about their loans;
bars them from charging unauthorized fees, and places specific limits on property inspection fees even if they are authorized by the contract;
prohibits them from initiating a foreclosure action, or charging any foreclosure fees, unless they have reviewed all available records to verify that the consumer is in material default, confirmed that the defendants have not subjected the consumer to any illegal practices, and investigated and resolved any consumer disputes; and
prohibits the defendants from violating the FDCPA, FCRA, and TILA.
The proposed settlement further requires Bear Stearns and EMC to establish and maintain a comprehensive data integrity program to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data and other information that they obtain about consumers' loan accounts, before servicing those accounts. The defendants must obtain an assessment from a qualified, independent, third-party professional within six months and then every two years, for the next eight years, to assure that their data integrity program meets the standards of the order.
The proposed settlement also contains record-keeping and reporting provisions to allow the FTC to monitor compliance with the order.
The Commission vote to authorize staff to file the complaint and proposed stipulated final order was 4-0. The documents were filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.
Including this case, the Commission has brought 23 actions in the past decade alleging deceptive or unfair practices by mortgage brokers, lenders, and servicers. Several of these landmark cases have resulted in large monetary judgments that have returned more than $320 million to consumers.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

Michael S. Dell may have to dig deeper into his pockets if he wants his $24.4 billion bid for the computer company he founded to succeed.
A special committee of Dell's directors encouraged him over the weekend to raise the offer price of $13.65 a share, a person briefed on the matter said on Tuesday.
Yet while Mr. Dell listened to the suggestion, he did not commit to a course of action. Furthermore, Mr. Dell and his private equity partner in the deal, Silver Lake, have not had any discussions about raising the current price, according to a person close to the firm.
Yet pressure is building on the buyout as two big Dell shareholders — Carl C. Icahn and the asset manager Southeastern Asset Management — continue to attack the deal with a shareholder vote drawing rapidly near.
The special committee is growing worried that the buyout offer will fail to win a majority of Dell shares that excludes Mr. Dell's 16 percent stake at the vote on July 18, the person briefed on the matter said. Some 43 percent of the Dell shares need to be voted in favor of the offer. The directors have already taken a number of meetings with major investors that have left them pessimistic about the bid's prospects, and now believe that a major shareholder advisory firm is poised to recommend a rejection of the takeover.
Mr. Dell's offer, made in partnership with Silver Lake, has been criticized for months by a number of big outside investors. But any bump in price would most likely come from the company founder, who already made concessions to reach the current price.
Silver Lake, which had refused to raise the bid beyond $13.60 at one point, has become increasingly worried about the deterioration of Dell's business, a person close to the firm said. At the moment, it would not be devastated if the deal fell apart.
That has left Mr. Dell — who agreed to contribute his 16 percent stake in the company at a price of $13.36 to leave more money for other shareholders — the most likely source of additional money.
Yet any bump in price from Mr. Dell would still need the assent of Silver Lake, since that would affect the returns on its investment.
A representative for Mr. Dell was not immediately available for comment.
The pressure on the current offer stems from the billionaire Mr. Icahn and Southeastern Asset Management. They are campaigning for an alternative plan: a huge stock buyback that would pay investors $14 a share and leave the company publicly traded.
Mr. Icahn pressed his attack in recent days, outlining the $5.2 billion in debt financing he has arranged with the investment bank Jefferies to support his proposal.
Other shareholders appear to have been little moved by Mr. Icahn's announcements: Dell's stock has risen 0.2 percent over the last five days, ending on Tuesday at $13.38.
The special board committee has heard from a number of investors that the current offer price was insufficient. And a tough meeting with Institutional Shareholder Services, the most influential proxy advisory firm, left directors with the impression that it would urge shareholders to vote down the transaction.
I.S.S. is expected to release its recommendation next week, and could still recommend that shareholders adopt Mr. Dell's offer. It has told Dell's committee that it is weighing the merits of the management buyout against inaction, and would not factor in an alternative plan like Mr. Icahn's.
Traditionally, I.S.S.'s recommendations have held enormous sway over institutional investors, though in recent years the firm's influence appears to have waned somewhat. Still, Dell's special committee believes that a recommendation for the buyout would ensure its passage.
The special committee's approach was reported earlier by CNBC.

New IRS procedures allow taxpayers with foreign financial accounts to comply with international tax laws without fear of criminal prosecution and with reduced penalties.
Global expansion
IRS Streamlines Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program
On June 18, 2014, the IRS announced updated procedures for its offshore voluntary disclosure program (OVDP) and streamlined filing procedures. In many cases, the changes will reduce the penalty exposure for noncompliant taxpayers to 5 percent of the highest balance in foreign financial accounts and nondeclared assets.
Changes to the 2012 OVDP include:
- Requiring additional information from taxpayers applying to the program
- Eliminating the reduced penalty percentage for certain nonwillful taxpayers in light of the expanded streamlined procedures
- Requiring taxpayers to submit all account statements and pay the offshore penalty at the time of the OVDP application
- Enabling taxpayers to submit records electronically rather than on paper
- Increasing the offshore penalty percentage (from 27.5 percent to 50 percent) if, before the taxpayer's OVDP preclearance request is submitted, it becomes public that a financial institution where the taxpayer holds an account, or another party facilitating the taxpayer's offshore arrangement, is under investigation by the IRS or Department of Justice.
"Whether intentional or not, foreign assets or foreign financial accounts that go unreported to the authorities carry significant fiscal penalties as well as the risk of criminal prosecution," says Dan Warr, engagement director for CliftonLarsonAllen. "OVDP and a streamlined filing program allow U.S. taxpayers to become compliant without fear of criminal prosecution, and to mitigate penalty exposure."
Since 2009, three OVDP programs have brought 45,000 individuals back into compliance with international tax laws, and collected $6.5 billion in taxes, penalties, and interest.

Support Groups and Hotlines
Support groups can be a valuable place to talk through your cancer, experiences and fears with others going through similar experiences. For some patients, the emotional support provided by a community who intimately understands the trials of cancer can be helpful. Members of a support group can provide strategies as to navigate the cancer journey or provide recommendations to communicate with health care professionals. There are groups for caregivers and family members of cancer patients as well.
In-person and online support
The groups listed below are available in many areas across the U.S. While this list of resources is a good place to start, your social worker, therapist, treatment center or local faith groups may also be great avenues for support.
- Support for People with Head and Neck Cancer
- American Cancer Society
- Cancer Support Community
Formerly known as "Gilda's Club," the Cancer Support Community offers a nationwide network of cancer support groups and online support.
- LIVESTRONG.org – Get Help
- Web Whispers
Web Whispers was started in 1996 for those who had questions about larynx cancer treatments, surgery, recovery and what life is like after laryngectomy surgery. They are the largest support group for individual laryngectomees and survivors of larynx and other throat cancers.
Cancer hotlines
Cancer hotlines are available if you wish to speak to someone about non-emergency, cancer-related questions outside of your doctor's office hours. Questions regarding your specific treatment should always first be directed to your cancer care team.
• American Cancer Society–1-800-227-2345
• National Cancer Institute– 1-800-422-6237
• CancerCare– 1-800-813-4673
Travel support
Some patients and their caregivers must travel to get appropriate treatment and/or rehabilitation for their head and neck cancer. Hope Lodge®, offered through the American Cancer Society, gives cancer patients and their caregivers a place to stay when they are far from home.

|Official website
Dylan Jason Ratigan (born April 19, 1972) is an American businessman, author, film producer, former host of MSNBC's The Dylan Ratigan Show and political commentator for The Young Turks. He was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York's 21st Congressional District. He is a former contributor to The Huffington Post.
The former Global Managing Editor for Corporate Finance at Bloomberg L.P., Ratigan has developed and launched more than six broadcast and new media properties. They include CNBC's Fast Money and Closing Bell, as well as DylanRatigan.com, which hosts his podcast, Greedy Bastards Antidote. From 2009 to 2012, Ratigan hosted The Dylan Ratigan Show, the highest-rated non-prime time show on MSNBC, aimed at critiquing what Ratigan described as an unholy alliance between big business and government.[1][2] His first book, Greedy Bastards, was released in 2012, and spent five consecutive weeks on the New York Times Best-Sellers List.[3] In 2017, he joined The Young Turks as a political commentator.[4]
Ratigan was a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives for New York's 21st congressional district, running in the 2018 elections in which he lost to Tedra Cobb.
Early life[edit]
Ratigan was born in the village of Saranac Lake, in upstate New York, the son of Adrienne (née Dodge), a psychotherapist, and John Ratigan. His grandfather, Frank Ratigan, was mayor of Saranac Lake from 1957-61.[5]
Ratigan is of Irish (father), Hungarian Jewish (maternal grandfather) and Italian (maternal grandmother) descent.[6][7] He was raised by his single mother.[5] He earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in political economy from Union College of Union University in Schenectady, where he was a member of the crew team.[8]
Journalism career[edit]
Ratigan was the Global Managing Editor for Corporate Finance at Bloomberg News Service, and before that had covered Mergers and Acquisitions, the U.S. Stock Market and IPOs. At Bloomberg, he co-created and hosted Morning Call for Bloomberg's cable network and the USA Network.[8] He was a contributor to ABC News and his articles have appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Miami Herald and Chicago Tribune.[8]
Ratigan was the host of Fast Money (co-created with Susan Krakower[8] and launching on June 21, 2006). Previously, he was the first anchor of CNBC's On the Money. He also anchored the CNBC TV program Bullseye for about a year and a half. In addition to his former duties as co-anchor on Closing Bell, Ratigan was a rotating co-anchor of The Call.
Ratigan left as host of Fast Money in 2009, provoked by outrage over the government's handling of the 2008 financial crisis. Since then, he has dedicated his work to launching platforms that engage and debate the U.S. government on policy, while opening the door for millions to learn more about money's often poisonous role in democracy. The New York Times reported he was considering all options but quoted him as saying he was dedicated to covering the economy, "the story that is affecting every American in every setting."[9]
Morning Meeting launched June 29, 2009.[10] Ratigan also contributes to other NBC News programs. Ratigan described the show's imperative as "to discuss any and all political issues with no directive other than to provide compelling content."[11] The show was the second ever on the network to air in HD, as the network launched their programming in that format.[12]
On May 27, 2010, Ratigan appeared as a guest host on the daily internet news and opinion show, The Young Turks. Cenk Uygur, regular host of The Young Turks was a frequent guest on The Dylan Ratigan Show.
On January 9, 2012, he appeared as a guest on The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC,[13] discussing the premise of his book, Greedy Bastards, viz. the swindling and robbing of America by "government corruption and corporate communism, incensed by banksters shaking down taxpayers, and despairing of an ailing health care system, an age-old dependency on foreign oil, and a failing educational system".[14]
The final episode of The Dylan Ratigan Show was on June 22, 2012.
Ratigan appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2008 to discuss the financial crisis.[15] He has also appeared on The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert[16] and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.[17]
Ratigan won the Gerald Loeb Award for 2004 coverage of the Enron scandal.[8]
In Ratigan's final CNBC broadcast from the floor of the NYSE he reported on what he called "an important story developing" that Goldman Sachs and "a variety of European banks," in his assessment and that of his guests, essentially "perpetrated securities fraud" and an "insurance fraud scam" against AIG — and, by extension, the government and taxpayers funding that insurance company's "bailout" — by insuring their questionable investment vehicles and, upon their devaluation, making claims on them to be paid by AIG "at 100 cents on the dollar" despite all of the markdowns "being forced upon every other" entity including the government, banks, shareholders, bond holders, taxpayers and homeowners.[18]
2011 speech[edit]
On the August 10, 2011, broadcast of The Dylan Ratigan Show, in a round table discussion of the market meltdown following the Budget Control Act of 2011, Ratigan made a two-minute-long speech against what he perceived to be the state of politics in the United States government, saying:
"We've got a real problem! This is a mathematical fact! Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren't doing it, Republicans aren't doing it. An entire integrated system, financial system, trading system, taxing system, that was created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work on our entire country right now. And we're sitting here arguing about whether we should do the $4 trillion plan that kicks the can down the road for the president for 2017, or burn the place to the ground, both of which are reckless, irresponsible, and stupid."— Dylan Ratigan, 10 August, 2011 speech on the American economy and political system, The Dylan Ratigan Show, MSNBC
The video of his impassioned speech went viral[20] and was praised by other media sources. TV Newser wrote that it was "a powerful, emotional editorial on the economy and Washington".[21] On a follow-up post on his website the day after he wrote that he had received a lot of positive mail from viewers, writing "I'm mad as hell. And according to the piles and piles of responses I got after my rant, so are you."[22]
Post-television career[edit]
Since leaving MSNBC, Ratigan has become involved with hydroponic farming.[23]
He is the founder of Helical Holdings and helped invent the company's Helical Outpost, a standardized plug-and-play resource system that produces clean water, connectivity, solar power, hydroponic produce and a community hub.
On May 21, 2013, he appeared on The Daily Show and discussed his association with a high tech hydroponic farming project employing military veterans.[24][25] He appeared on Charlie Rose on May 23, 2013 to discuss his work with military veterans.[26]
Dylan Ratigan is currently a regular guest on tastytrade.com with Tom Sosnoff.[27]
Ratigan joined The Young Turks on March 24, 2017 as a news commentator.[28]
In February 2018, Ratigan announced that he is running for Congress, seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican incumbent Elise Stefanik in New York's 21st congressional district.[29] Ratigan said that he has never voted in an election, claiming a "disgust" with "two choices that are available to" him.[30]
On June 26th 2018 Ratigan lost the NY 21st District Democratic Primary to Tedra Cobb. However, he won a write-in campaign for the Women's Equality nomination in the same district - by getting two votes while two rival write-in candidates got one vote each. The chair of the Women's Equality Party, Susan Zimet, announced efforts to stop Ratigan from running, as "we don't want our line to be a spoiler".[31]
Since 2019, he has been appearing regularly with Jimmy Dore on "The Jimmy Dore Show".
He's also a regular guest on Tasty Trade, Truth or Skepticism

Purpose: To link research creation and public performance more fully with social activism through partnerships engaging universities with community-based and/or Art for Social Change (ASC) organizations. Encounters is a research creation project led by artist scholar Rachael Van Fossen. Building on two earlier projects, an ensemble of artists and students from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, life experiences, and faiths are, through a series of workshops in both undergraduate and community settings, sharing personal stories and, through the act of performing another person across vastly different life experiences, building a performance.
Community collaborators advising research and participants include grassroots organizations promoting intercultural exchange and social equality across differences of racialization, immigration, gender, sexuality, age and other common marked and unmarked differences. This process provides an example of the utility of performance tools to build intercultural communication, and investigates aesthetic experience as a means to 'understand' and know difference and commonality. Data from this field study informs researchers on good practices for meaningful social engagement between university students, artists, and community organizations; and provides insights on partner capacity building, evaluation, and knowledge exchange. The data generated contributes to adaptable ASC processes and tools to continue a sustainable methodology in ASC intercultural and intergenerational communication into the future. This research draws on relevant discourses and practices in intercultural performance, and builds upon existing theorizing of engaged aesthetics. Partner Concordia University leads the collaboration with ASC organizations including Herencias, Teesri Duniya Theatre, and the MAI (Montreal, arts interculturels).
About Rencontres/Encounters (R/E)
Rencontres/Encounters (R/E) is an engaged, intercultural research-creation project, whose aim is to R/E-evaluate, R/E-envision and R/E-imagine performance as a means to build relationship across different values and life experiences. R/E aims also to offer possibilities for transformation in understanding of others and otherness in a range of community contexts. The R/E believes that another person's perspective can be better understood (though never even close to fully understood) through storytelling, dialogue, and through performance of oneself, and of another.
R/E asks, "What Are We Not Talking About?"
R/E wishes to share our thought-provoking, challenging and beautiful work with larger community through workshops and performances in which art-building and engagement with others can thrive. New levels of empathy are possible when we take on another's story as if it were our own. New ways of seeing ourselves and others are illuminated, making visible both the real and perceived boundaries that prevent relationship and community between people of different immigration statuses, racializations, sexualities, gender identities, classes, faiths, abilities and other intersecting factors.
R/E asks, "What Are the Differences That Matter?"
The R/E MANIFESTO
We act to help others and ourselves connect and learn together, despite differences.
We pay attention to differences that matter, and decide to work through these together.
Through dialogue, we uncover differences that do not matter, and then we move on.
We commit to staying in relationship in the present moment.
We commit to staying in relationship in the long term.
We aim and work for
the end of exclusion, oppression, and marginalization in the name of difference.
a transformed understanding of self, other and relationships.
a shift in the power of who gets to represent us, in art as in life.
a commitment to stay in dialogue.
a radical redistribution of love and respect.
We believe
that society needs a new equlibrium. How about an equilibrium that is, in fact, equal?
there are many visions of social change. Ours is but one. We are part of a bigger picture.
social change through personal story and deep relationship across difference is possible.
that it takes multiple stakeholders, strategies and actions at different levels to raise public consciousness and disrupt forces and structures at play. We work in increments to achieve this.
that we can achieve all of the above through playing together, performing ourselves for each other, and performing each other.
We commit to Experiment!
To Play and Sing and Dance! To Speak Our Personal Truths! To See What, Who and How We Are, or Wish to Be to Each Other!
We choose
To play with every person in the room
To do justice to our own and each other's stories
To engage in relationship
mindful of
the space it takes,
the energy, heart and headache
and time
To co-exist, and work toward common intention.

Few sectors have defied the broader US market's downturn of the past month, but another strong earnings report by a Chinese Internet player has offered solace to investors in that industry.
Last week, Qihoo 360 reported quarterly earnings that easily topped Wall Street estimates, sending the company's stock further along on its torrid run: the stock is already up 184% in 2013.1
Qihoo's results followed similar street-beating profit reports last month from Chinese web companies Baidu.com and Sina, which have also seen their stocks surge this year – Baidu has gained 32%, while Sina has gained 65%.
Coincidentally, all three of these stocks represent a 33% weighting in the China Internet motif, which has climbed 9.4% in the past month, and is up 60.2% in 2013. The S&P 500 has lost 1.9% over the past month, and has gained 14.8% so far this year.
As in the US, Chinese Web companies are ramping up their focus on gaining share in the mobile market, and Qihoo could be rising to the top. The company already derives 40% of its revenue from services, including online games, and a recent buy rating slapped on the stock by JPMorgan cited the company's good positioning with its solid large mobile traffic platform.
However, for the most part, Baidu, Sina, and Qihoo aren't direct competitors — yet. Baidu is China's top search provider, while a service of Sina's essentially acts as the Chinese Twitter. Qihoo, meanwhile, offers a browser and web security tools.
Nonetheless, all three companies depend on advertising for most of their revenue, and it's inevitable that the quest to become the leading Internet presence in China is going to lead to more competition. In fact, it's already happening – Qihoo made a reported attempt to acquire Sohu.com, a search rival of Baidu's, but the deal fell through.
For now, the state of investor warm-fuzzies for Chinese internet stocks is such that good news from any of the sector's major companies seems to help the stocks of everyone else. And, fundamentally, that does make some sense. As The Motley Fool's Rick Munarriz recently pointed out, it's no coincidence that Baidu bounced back after two uninspiring quarters once Qihoo began cashing in on the success of its own search platform.2
"After all," Munarizz wrote," if Qihoo is getting advertisers to pay more to reach its users, it's going to likely also boost the value of marketing through market leader Baidu."
That current everybody's-a-winner mentality has been increasingly rare amid the market's latest slump.

I'm still hauling the felled second quality wood out to my trailer and up to the yard for drying out for logs and charcoal. It's all ride-side, but quite a distance from the vehicular track. I'm using the lift and shift, but this smaller stuff needs to be bundled to make the trips to the trailer efficient, I've experimented with various ways of making the bundles, which at first were rather unstable causing much cursing as the logs dropped out before reaching the destination. So here's my solution.
All I need is:
A looped rope, a length of rope, a stick, Lift n'Shift with carabiner and some logs.
I found this knot in Ray Mears Survival book (very interesting book but I doubt I'll ever need to know about ice fishing for instance).
Start by laying out the rope thusly:
One loop and one rope end at each side. Then lay on the logs for transporting
Pass the rope ends through the loop from the opposite side and pull tight. You now have three bindings round the logs. Tie the ends of the rope, I use a shoelace bow:
Then I fasten the 3 bindings to the Lift n'Shift with a carabiner and use the loop and stick to fasten the heavy end on.
All that remains is to walk the load down to the trailer, rather a steep hill. Someone asked if I had brakes! Dropping the handle would be quite effective.
By the way, if anyone is wondering, the broad leaves are wild garlic or Ramsons.

We invite you to step into our past and explore Métis-sur-Mer as you have never seen it before. We have created a walking tour with two trails, exploring East and West Metis*. Key community milestones are represented by the voices of community members and the stories are brought to life by those who lived the experience or by their direct descendants.
The walking tour takes you from breathtaking views of the St-Lawrence, to beautiful historical buildings, to tales of what it was like to live here 50 or 100 years ago. Step into our past and discover what our history can bring to you!
Click here to find out more about the background for this project.
*Is it Metis, Metis Beach or Métis-sur-Mer?
Over the years, this area has been known by a number of different names, in both French and English, to the extent that different generations of the same family, although born in the same building, do not have the same "place of birth" listed on their birth certificates. To simplify things, we have therefore taken our lead from those who live here, and simply refer to the town as "Metis".
As well as the virtual tour on the following pages, we invite you to walk the tour yourself.
To access the guide you can download the tour app for Android or Apple devices by searching forin Google play and the AppStore.
This App contains a map, an itinerary with optional GPS tracking, as well as audio tracks and pictures. We recommend that you preload the application on your device. This way you can do the tour without needing an Internet connection. You are welcome to use the free WIFI we offer during business hours at the Heritage Cultural Resource Centre (130 Principale) to download the App.
No smartphone/tablet? No problem!
Please visit the Heritage Cultural Resource Centre at 130 Principale, during business hours, to borrow MP3 players and headphones. This is also where you can you can freely borrow or buy a complementary paper guide to the trails.
Groups can borrow a tablet and portable wireless speaker for free. It is preferable to call ahead to reserve the equipment for a group.
Reduced Mobility Option
If you would prefer not to walk the trails, you can take the virtual tour on paper at the Centre where we will lend you the equipment and paper materials for a complete a virtual tour, including additional pictures.
Want to know more?
Our Cultural Resource Centre archives are also open to the public all year round, if you need more information on a particular subject. We are there to help!
Our Wish
We hope that this project will open our archives up to a wider audience, and celebrate the unique heritage of the Métis-sur-Mer bilingual community.
Our Thanks
HLSL thanks the dozens of community members who participated in this project and who generously opened their doors and memories for all to hear. We are grateful to you.

When purchasing a home, the mortgage loan application is very stressful for a lot of people, but it doesn't have to be. Being close with several lenders in the Winter Park-Orlando area has helped us realize a lot of the things that will make the loan application process a breeze.
Make sure you have a list of questions with you if you do not totally comprehend the pros and cons of the various programs. One of my lenders or I can assist you with understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each program, because it is a challenge to know the differences between both fixed and adjustable rate mortgages.
Locking in the rate means that the mortgage lender commits to the mortgage interest rates for the loan – generally at the time the loan application is sent in. By floating the rate, you can lock the rate at any time between the day you apply for the loan and at the time of closing. Those who opt to float believe the interest rates will decline in the near future. Click here to see the outlook for the next 90 days of interest rates.
If you decide to pay additional points to lower the rate of your loan, you'll pay for them in cash at closing. Every point is 1 percent of the mortgage loan. To determine if buying points is right for you, click here to use our points calculator.
Getting a mortgage loan requires a lot of paperwork, so you should spend some time getting all your documents together. Click here to preview common questions you'll have to answer on a loan app.

If end tags are not required, it will be very difficult to handle empty elements in XML if there is no DTD; you don't want to do a lot of look-ahead if you're doing progressive display as data arrives.
