An Improved Interface for Lab Tests
Andy Oram is an editor at O'Reilly Media, a highly respected book publisher and technology information provider. An employee of the company since 1992, Andy currently specializes in open source, software engineering, and health IT, but his editorial output has ranged from a legal guide covering intellectual property to a graphic novel about teenage hackers. His articles have appeared often on EMR & EHR and other blogs in the health IT space. Andy also writes often for O'Reilly's Radar site (http://oreilly.com/) and other publications on policy issues related to the Internet and on trends affecting technical innovation and its effects on society. Print publications where his work has appeared include The Economist, Communications of the ACM, Copyright World, the Journal of Information Technology & Politics, Vanguardia Dossier, and Internet Law and Business. Conferences where he has presented talks include O'Reilly's Open Source Convention, FISL (Brazil), FOSDEM, and DebConf.
Electronic health records have been the butt of complaints for years (and in fact, doctors are getting less satisfied with them over time), but we don't really know how to make them better–if we did, we would have fixed them long ago. Two principles raise the hope of improving the usability of EHRs in the future:
- Involve the clinicians themselves intensively in design.
- Allow access by third parties who can experiment with new innovations.
One specific improvement in user interface design is now being proposed: a better organized display for lab tests. This deserves more news coverage in its own right, and additionally illustrates the two principles at work. I talked recently to Dr. Robert Coli, the chief proponent of the design.
A uniform display format
Current lab results tend to be presented as incomplete and badly fragmented data, instead of the complete, integrated, and actionable information that physicians and patients need. Fragmented data wastes a lot of space, doubles or triples the number of screens to scroll and pages to turn, and lacks the connections that could help physicians draw conclusions. Confusion over test results slows down physicians and increases the risk of errors, both of omission and comission. Doctors might reorder tests merely because they are time-constrained and have trouble finding what they need: the results of recent tests and historical trends.
The proposed user interface adheres to a uniform format developed by doctors, with input and feedback from doctors and nurses to ensure it is clinically intuitive. It will help physicians as well as patients view and share test results displayed by EHR, PHR, and HIE platforms. A group of Rhode Island physicians have supported its development and unsuccessful efforts to distribute it as a commercial product for more than 20 years. Various levels of display are illustrated on their web page.
Their key advance, based on principles of human-centered design, is to group tests by organ systems (a classification that already exists in medicine) and then to display them chronologically within clinically logical categories and subcategories. In one example, the first three subcategories of the first main test category, "MICROCHEM TESTS," displays about 50 clinical lab tests that are most frequently ordered and repeated. The less commonly ordered and less frequently repeated lab tests are displayed in the fourth subcategory, with Microbiology results presented in subcategory five. Clicking on rows will display useful details, including reference ranges and units.
In the second main test category, "SUBSPECIALTY TESTS," imaging, endoscopic and other testing modalities are indexed by organ system and clinical specialty in alignment with physicians' common thought flow and workflow.
According to Coli, existing displays are packed with fragmented data. They use five times as much space, are more confusing, and make it difficult to find individual test results or to follow trends over time. The same flawed user interface design seems to have persisted for an astonishingly long time. Figure 1 shows a printed hospital report of lab results dating from the 1970s, while Figure 2 shows a modern EHR display using the same suboptimal design. Both reporting formats list tests in a rather haphazard order over short time periods, include an enormous amount of useless white space, and are laid out inconsistently to that doctors cannot find important information quickly even after considerable practice.
Figure 1. Old paper lab results report
Figure 2. Putatively modern electronic display of lab results
Often, user interface advocates call for customizable interfaces. But Coli argues that for lab and other test results, consistency is generally more important than customizability. A single, platform-neutral, uniform report display will allow doctors to quickly learn how to find the information they are seeking and apply these skills throughout their careers, at any point of care. The format could also be the basis for other enhancements, such as showing a chart with a normal range and the patient's actual result, and using color to highlight anomalies. Specialty-specific customized views of cumulative results and Clinical Decision Support (CDS) applications for optimizing cost-effective test selection can also be developed as value-added enhancements to the standard reporting format.
History of the proposal
Coli rebelled at lab test displays back in the days of paper, and developed his current format when starting his own practice in 1979. Enthusiasm grew among his colleagues, but he could not drive adoption outside the circles of clinicians who knew and respected him. Amazingly, he has kept up his efforts over the years, and saw the passage of HITECH as the opening he needed.
Between 2011 and 2013, Coli accepted an invitation from Direct Project Coordinator, Arien Malec, to attend weekly virtual meetings of the Standards & Interoperability (S&I) Framework as it developed HL7-balloted implementation guides, pilot projects, and reference implementations for key lab-related standards. Although the Framework's scope of work did not include standardizing the presentation of test results for physicians and patients, it was relevant to other Framework efforts, including EHR-LIS open source lab results reporting, lab test ordering, and an electronic directory of lab services standards. Coli's proposal also drew approval from the judges of the eHealth Initiative's 2015 Innovation Challenge.
Coli is currently investigating possible work with the Healthcare Services Platform Consortium (HSPC) to implement the standard reporting format over SMART on FHIR. And he's in the process of connecting with all the right consortia actively seeking to advance interoperability, including the CommonWell Health Alliance and the Argonaut and Sequoia projects. Recognizing the spread of open source solutions in health care, Coli is offering these public/private sector consortia and leading standards organizations a royalty-free license to a patent that his company holds on the format.
Still, vendors have taken little notice of the lab results format. This is why a third-party market is so important. There is no reason for suffering clinicians to wait until one implementation detail rises high enough on some vendor's checklist to have it done. Tools and standards have advanced to the point where innovations like this can be developed and disseminated quickly.

Keeping a healthy weight is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle. In fact, losing and keeping off that extra weight happens to be one of the most effective ways of reducing your risk of developing many chronic and deadly diseases.
A healthy weight consists of being "physically fit"- not necessarily being thin. Thin does not mean healthy. A healthy weight is determined by body mass index- or BMI for short. Your BMI, measures the amount of extra fat tissue in your body.
Having a BMI:
You can also measure your waist to get an idea of how much extra fat is stored around your organs. Men should have a waist - or pant size - less than 40 inches and women should have a waist less than 35 inches.
It is unhealthy to have a:
Having these levels of extra fat tissue can increase your chances for such health problems as:
Keeping a healthy weight is one of the most difficult health challenges faced by Americans today. In fact, among Americans the rates of obesity and overweight, particularly in children, have never been higher.
Obesity is a problem that affects every community. As a group, however, African American women have especially high rates of overweight and obesity with 3 out of 4 African American women either overweight or obese.
The most successful way to lose weight is by making small steps. Remember that overweight and obesity developed over a long time. Taking off those extra pounds will take time. Some helpful things you can do are:
Exercise is a very important way to lose weight and keep it off. Unfortunately, most women - but especially African American women- do not exercise regularly. Some reasons for not exercising are:
Try these ways of beating exercise "blues":

Series: Vertebrate Palaeontological Techniques Volume: 1
Edited By: Patrick Leiggi and PeterJ May
344 pages, 56 b/w photos, illus
This volume fulfills a long-standing need of vertebrate paleontologists - whether amateurs attending their first excavation or preparators and curators - for a book that describes and explains modern paleontological techniques and practice. The authors of this volume are all exceptional technicians in their field and the book covers everything from field specimen collecting, through conservation methods, chemical preparation, molding, casting and painting, and mounting of vertebrate skeletons, to the final chapter devoted to the use of CT scans and X-ray methods. The book stems from the fact that, up until now, most preparatory techniques and skills have been passed down by example and demonstration, but they have rarely ever been standardized and set down in print. This book attempts to do this, and aims to enlighten workers on the most modern and successful methods that can be used in preserving and studying our fossil heritage.

Blogger "Kate-A" (who appears from her photo to be a mulatto, if it matters) writes:
I don't believe that [John] Duesler, club president and Obama fundraiser, is a bigot or racist - he's your typical white liberal who sincerely believes blacks are equal to whites, but his exposure has been predominantly to educated blacks, those in the same income bracket as himself. Like most white people in leafy hillside villages, he doesn't hang around with folks from the 'hood.
While Duesler has put foot in his mouth trying to explain the club's reason for cancelling the kids, with the din and roar of 65 kids freed from an inner city basement still ringing in his ears - it was nothing more than culture shock. Duesler and his fellow ghetto-shocked villagers are pathetically struggling to be politically correct. I've seen it happen to liberal white folks before ... when thrown into certain integrated settings, many of the racial stereotypes they refused to believe, are suddenly right there slapping them in the face. It's one thing for white leafy villagers to see inner city kids actin' a fool on TV or in a movie - quite another when up close and personal.
. . . .
The problem is not whether the kids are black or poor - but you have to admit they always seem to be black and poor, the problem is not racism - the problem is the kids have no social etiquette, no sense of personal space, no respect. And as adults, most will be like the adults around them now - crying racism when their behavior doesn't serve them well.
UPDATE: I couldn't confirm whether or not John Duesler is an Obama fundraiser, but according to OpenSecrets.org, Huntingdon Valley residents in zip code 19006 collectively donated $46,687.00 to the Obama campaign and only $34,875.00 to the McCain campaign. (Hillary Clinton also pulled in $24,050; none of the other candidates broke into five figures.)
As Steve Sailer might ask, how's this working out for them?

When my friends told me they were moving to the Caribbean island of St. Lucia I thought I would never see them again. It is so far away from home, after all. Much to my surprise, they invited me out to see them. I booked my airfare, and prepared to depart. Life always seems to get busier when you are about to leave on a trip. Those rye pockets I wanted to make? Waaaaaaay too busy to make them. Instead I decided I would just make my Tropical Oat Bars, and pack as many raisins and crackers as I could fit in my suitcase and carry on. All these were carefully sealed in ziploc bags to keep them fresh and bug free. I also made sure to pack my wipes to clean off my area on the airplane. I was as ready as I was ever going to be.
After more than 16 hours of air travel and layovers I arrived in St. Lucia to a balmy 34 degrees celsius. My friend greeted me at the tiny little airport and our first order of business was....food! What can I eat? We go to a grocery store and my adventurous friend picks up stuff off the shelves and turns to me to approve or not. Much of the basic food was very familiar, we had no problems finding raw materials to work with. I just couldn't help feel like my allergies were looming over my head...
|Any other peanut-allergic people surprised to see this?
I'm so glad my friends live in an actual house with an actual kitchen, it alleviated a lot of my concerns about food ingredients when it's all controlled. They even got rid of all the peanuts (ate them) before I arrived. It was really considerate of them.
We spent one day at the opposite end of the island, in Rodney Bay, and there was a fantastic supermarket in the Baywalk Shopping Mall called GL Foodmarket. It had a lot more things that I could eat and some specialty diet related goods too (for those with slightly less restricted diets). I even managed to get Terra Sweet Potato Chips there. Fancy that! The hotel's buffet breakfast allowed me to eat bacon and fruit until my heart's content. We also had a late lunch out at a great restaurant, Spice Of India. The chef knows my friends and came out to chat and take our order. He was incredibly accommodating with my allergies, which is better than most experiences I have had with chefs who appear nervous when we have the same conversation.
One of the coolest experiences was going to a produce market near her place in Choiseul, which looked like it was in someone's garage, but was full of locally grown treasures.
Inside, there was plastic crates everywhere filled with familiar though non-conforming fruits and vegetables, and a few curiosities that native to the Caribbean.
|Squashes, cinnamon bark (it's a thicker shave than we're used to), and taro root.
|Stumpy carrots, citrus and something I can't remember the name to.
There was a bit of a wrench on the way home. I did forget my last two granola bars in the fridge back at my friend's house. I realized at the airport in St. Lucia, pondering my 24 hour journey home. A wave of panic washed over me. I had previously looked at the restaurants and the stores in all the airports I was flying through, there wasn't much but dried fruit available to eat, unless I was able to pick off half of my allergens off a packaged "garden salad." Luckily, I saw a little box calling out to me from the bottom shelf at a Hudson News in LAX that I hadn't been to yet. This mini meal to go was perfect. I cheated a little in some of my allergens (I never compromise in the life threatening department though), but I was close enough to home that any stomach troubles could be tolerated and any eczema that might appear would be days away. I was so happy I didn't mind paying airport-prices for it. I wish there was more stuff out there like this!
|Yum, sunbutter with sugar is so good!!! That was a treat!
I am so happy to have had such a good experience on this trip. It gives me greater confidence for future trips, and a better knowledge base for how to handle food on-the-go. New vacations? Bring them on! Work trips? Negotiable with a kitchen! Now, it's time to get back to baking and cooking. Looking forward to blogging more.....

The number of people applying for new unemployment benefits has fallen to the lowest level since mid-2007, shortly before the Great Recession began. Jobless claims dropped to a seasonally adjusted 300,000 in the seven days ended April 5. The last time claims were that low was in the week of May 12, 2007, when they totaled 297,000.
But that doesn't mean the U.S. economy now is anything like the economy back then. The unemployment rate is much higher, a smaller percentage of Americans are looking for work, sales of new homes are 50% lower and consumer confidence has yet to return to prerecession levels.
Those are just a few of the differences. Here's how the performance of the economy stacks up compared to seven years ago.

Hello Bees,
Please help critique my art for a destination wedding invite.
I spent about 4 hours last night using India Inks, a brush, and a #102 sketch-nib on my sketchpad.
What I did was trace a sample blank Strathmore postcard for size guideline with a Faber Castelle ink pen; brushed the area where the blossoms would go with water. Use Dr. Ph Martin's ink set (great for calligraphy/watercolours; etc) for this.
The postcard is lined up vertically, where the words would go. Right now, I am practising on my pen calligraphy before I finalize the finished product. However, if it's fugly, LOL, I am going to start a different sketch. I will be writing pen calligraphy in teal blue ink, which would take quite a while to complete delicately. Then, scan my sketch, crop and line it up for printing.
The paper which we would be mass print on is laser-printer friendly Champagne paper, from Staples. They would do the printing and cutting for us. So, I have to keep in mind how it would turn out on non-white paper. Once they are printed and cut (3 postcard invites can fit on ONE sheet of paper!), I would gather help with glueing them on each blank postcard.
On the other side, we would include a map of how to get there. Guests have an option to RSVP by phone, email or on our wedding website.
Please help me decide if I should go ahead and add calligraphy to my sketch. (Pardon the slant from the awkward cameraphone angle; it was tough to take a picture with poor lighting/shadows)

How many times have you prepared a recipe that includes tomatoes among the ingredients? Probably a hundred times. And is that this fruit is so popular in world gastronomy, you will hardly stop finding it in the recipes.
The tomato is not new to the gastronomy, in fact, it's estimated that already 500 years before Christ was cultivated in Mexico and used in the preparation of dishes. Then with the Spanish conquest of America, the tomato traveled to the old continent, and the rest is history.
Today it's a protagonist in world cuisine, so much that we cannot imagine a good Italian pasta without its respective tomato sauce to give it the taste, a French ratatouille without that characteristic tomato flavor, or Mediterranean cuisine without this fruit.
The tomato is incredibly versatile in the kitchen, it can be used fresh, processed and dehydrated to incorporate flavor into the dishes. We can consume it in salads, juices, sauces, jams, among others.
Further, it may be from a flavor catalyst or the dish itself.
Nutritionally it's wonderful, as it's a low calorie fruit with high water content. It's rich in carbohydrates and vitamin C, carotene and antioxidants.
In the kitchen there are many recipes where you get it as an ingredient, but certainly there are some in which shines as the protagonist. One of them is pomodoro sauce or the classic tomato sauce, which is the star in Italian cuisine.
This sauce is prepared essentially from tomato paste, seasoned with garlic, onion and salt. Depending on the country where it's prepared, you can add more ingredients to the mixture to enhance flavors, such as in Mexico where red peppers are added or in Spain and Italy where they add basil and olive oil.
Another dish where the tomato stands out, are the sofritos, there, along with the onion and the garlic, they make the perfect combination to season stews.
Raw, it can shine also in the kitchen. It can be used in innumerable ways, accompanying it with spices such as oregano, thyme, basil and olive oil, is a guaranteed flavor explosion.
Similarly, in its raw state can be used for a delicious and refreshing gazpacho. You can also use the fresh juice in the cocktail bar, where it shines as the main ingredient of the famous Bloody Mary drink.
There is no doubt that tomato is one of the indispensable in the kitchen, present in many of our favorite recipes. And you, in which recipe do you love to use this divine fruit?

Our inspirational love affair with Nature – Quotes by Clara
Natural inspiration is all around us, just look at a rainbow or a flower to understand the magnificence of Creation and the stunning richness of the colour spectrum.
Water cleans electrics – every time it rains mother earth is doing her housework.
The energy that makes up every atom of our being originated billions of years ago in the stars. When you look up at stars in the night sky you're looking at where you came from.
When we go for walks in nature we are surrounded by nature spirits that clean our Aura and give us a sense of well being
The beauty of relationships is in understanding the Greater Relationship. Mother Earth provides, maintains and nurtures, whilst the masculine Sun sheds its light, energy and warmth on all, helping things to grow whilst they instinctively reach towards the light. Together there is no greater love affair, each needing and supporting the other to sustain all organic life.

Issue Article
Every future prize won and every recognition bestowed upon me has been impressed from the storage of my mother's predicament. I look as a driving force of inspiration to her. In her I see-the organization, suffering qualities of energy, bravery, trust, and especially love.professional resume editing Whenever I'm discouraged I recall the example set by my mom and soon. I believe of all ache that after noticing the triviality of my very own predicament my mum needed to experience and am heightened with new energy. This past year, as an example, after I was playing in a championship football game, my leg became entangled using a forwards knee to the other workforce, and I wound-up tearing my medial ligament. I had been extremely angry for having wounded myself in such a relatively approach that is inane. Totally consumed in my own discomfort, I would not talk to everyone and rather lamented about the sidelines. However I recalled something that when something like this occurred my mom used to tell me: you'll be quite blessed, and If here is the toughest thing that ever occurs to you, I will be happy. Quickly, several views battle through my brain. I described my mom as a young thirteen -yearold jogging after-school to visit with her ill dad towards the clinic every single day. I had been always told by her how exceptionally unpleasant it had gone to observe his physique become emaciated since day was sophisticated day by by the melanoma and lastly got its toll. I subsequently made my mom in the clinic undergoing emotionally debilitating checks and all-the physically, and being forced to worry about her husband and her kids at the same period. I instantly felt at how premature I'd been working over my very own condition, incredibly embarrassed. I gathered my ideas and in place of sulking or worrying, assisted mentor my crew to triumph.
I'm very happy to mention that my mother is now experiencing far better and her regular checkups . Tests have suggested that she's currently performing well. Nevertheless, her energy and courage may remain a continuing supply of motivation in my experience. I feel assured to meet the long run having a resolute impression of desire and confidence. The recommendations for this essay's majority emphasize in relying on a very emotional matter, in cases like this the authoris mother's session with melanoma, the risk inherent. Part of the reactions to this part are so fervent (and exactly why you can find so many of them) is because had obtained a marginally unique tactic, he could have had a touching and robust structure on his hands. Whenever a bit with potential overlooks the level, it is usually frustrating. In this case, the content and feeling are typical there. Had he spent more time and written with an increase of candor, this article may have been a success that was real.
I wish this kid had started the dissertation together with his mother resting along him in the chair. That will have been a powerful beginning. Generally, using the composition to paint a or mood's release can be hardly ineffective. He has to start with the striking and most simple sentence , such that is possible as "On January 5, 1995, my mother learned that she'd cancer." Use actual occasions and precise sites. Allow the most dramatic point move where it goes, at the end of the sentence –also known as the strain place.
Because this subject is so individual, I yearn to understand more concerning the pupilis a reaction to his mumis cancer he and his family managed it with time. Things only seem a touch too neat, as published.
The author identifies a lifestyle lesson that is valuable, but I discover the publishing type to be a bit maudlin and synthetic. I imagine he turned towards the database more often than once. The writer shows us a sad story about his mommy with melanoma and how because of what his mother has been through he's strived to accomplish his greatest. This article lacked wealth and the depth that other documents with similar topics get, although the topic could be a tearjerker.
The scholar was clearly influenced by the knowledge very much. But what learners don't comprehend is the fact that they do not have to share such particular dilemmas inside the boundaries of a college essay. I-donot consider the "epiphany" in the realization because itis defined. It really is easy and too easy to be plausible. His explanation is begun by him with "as an example," which negates almost anything that uses. When he perceives his mother he "immediately" perceives this and "suddenly" does that, and lastly "helped instructor his group to triumph." He "taught" the team. "Cheered" possibly. "Coached?" No way.
This essay scents of contrivance. Yes, his mommy's bout with cancer afflicted him. Simply not in the manner he wants me to trust. This is actually the "long-term sanctifying influence" article. Look at exactly what the author is actually saying (applying his or her own terms): I was previously "consumed within my suffering" and "lament" my fits with hardship. But, "instantly" or "suddenly" (take your pick), I became a man "comfortable to welcome the near future with a resolute impression of trust and anticipation." Why not claim, "I was once a thoughtless teenager. My mom got cancer. I'm now a, mature adult. You must disclose me to _____." Their dissertation is not any less simple.

Renee by her painting for Art Prize which was hung at the WMCAT (West Michigan Center for Arts & Technology). It was a wonderful facility and I was happy to be a part of it all.
Helmut and Paul came to see my work in Grand Rapids, we had a lot of fun looking at all the work and talking about lots of art. Helmut really liked the sculpture below, it was made of aluminum and was about 9 feet high. I never did meet the artist on that one Dad or find out how it was made, sorry about that :) Maybe next time.
Mom, Carla, and Mike came to see me on the opening night. It was so nice to see such encouraging faces.
This was one of the works of art that was displayed at different locations around Grand Rapids. On the day Helmut and Paul came into town it was moved that morning to the Rosa Parks Circle so we had to go check it out. Believe me it was really wedged under that overhang, don't think we didn't test that out ;)
Mom and Carla really liked this sculpture which was made of all balloons! It was one of my favorites as well.
Janet and Mark came to see me and my work at the WMCAT. They are looking at a clay life-sized whale sculpture that was also in the WMCAT building.
Thank you all for coming to support me and my work during Art Prize, it really means a lot to me!

The CRTC says the fine was imposed after complaints alleged PlentyOfFish Media Inc. sent e-mails that didn't have a clearly labelled or easy-to-use unsubscribe alternative.
The apparent violations happened between July 1 and Oct. 8 of last year.
Markus Frind in Vancouver created PlentyOfFish 12 years ago and now has more than one hundred million users around the world. The service sends its users occasional e-mails which highlight people who have similar interests and notify them of new messages from fellow users. The majority of them are sent from a central mail server based of unknown location but with a US IP address.
After they notified PlentyOfFish Media of the investigation, regulators say, the firm upgraded its unsubscribe procedure to obey the laws.
The dating website has additionally agreed to develop a compliance plan, including training for the staff and changes to match with the anti spam requirements.
"This case is a significant reminder to companies that they have to review their unsubscribe mechanics to ensure they're clearly and conspicuously set out as well as may be readily performed," said main compliance and enforcement officer Manon Bombardier in a release.
Before this month, the CRTC imposed the primary monetary punishment under the anti-spam law, which came into effect.
The organization has until the CRTC's ruling to be contested by early April.

480 pages, illustrations
A riveting history of America's most beautiful natural resources, "The Quiet World" documents the heroic fight waged by the U.S. federal government from 1879 to 1960 to save wild Alaska--Mount McKinley, the Tongass and Chugach national forests, Gates of the Arctic, Glacier Bay, Lake Clark, and the Coastal Plain of the Beaufort Sea, among other treasured landscapes--from the extraction industries. Award-winning historian Douglas Brinkley traces the wilderness movement in Alaska, from John Muir to Theodore Roosevelt to Aldo Leopold to Dwight D. Eisenhower, with narrative verve. Basing his research on extensive new archival material, Brinkley shows how a colorful band of determined environmentalists created the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge just before John F. Kennedy became president.
Brinkley introduces a lively gallery of characters influential in preserving Alaska's wilderness resources: the indomitable U.S. Supreme Court justice William O. Douglas, who championed the Brooks Range; charming Ivy League explorer Charles Sheldon, who led the campaign to create Denali National Park; intrepid Bob Marshall, who cofounded The Wilderness Society; hermit illustrator Rockwell Kent, who lived in isolation on Fox Island like a modern Thoreau; nature photographer Ansel Adams, whose image "Mount McKinley and Wonder Lake" set off a tsunami of public interest in America's tallest peak; and U.S. Fish and Wildlife biologist Rachel Carson, who promoted proper ocean stewardship; among many more.
Wildlife fervently comes to life in "The Quiet World" Brinkley tells incredible stories about the sea otters in the Aleutians, moose in the Kenai Peninsula, and birdlife across the Yukon Delta expanse while exploring the devastating effects that reckless overfishing, seal slaughter, and aerial wolf hunting have wrought on Alaska's once-abundant fauna. While taking into account "Exxon Valdez"-like oil spills, "The Quiet World" mainly celebrates how the U.S. government has preserved many of Alaska's great wonders for future generations to enjoy.
A richly detailed, passionate and partisan account. . . . In lush prose, [Brinkley] captures Alaska's pristine beauty.

Black-on-Black Dresser Part 2
With the drawers primed and drying, it is time to prime the body of the dresser. As with the drawers, sand if desired and then ensure all the to-be-painted surfaces are dust-free and clean.
The top of my dresser was quite scratched and marred. I could have filled the deep scratches with wood filler and then sanded the top to make it smooth. However, the amount of sanding needed would have generated a lot of dust, and I was not able to carry the dresser outside. Rather than dust bomb my house, I opted to not do any sanding. The top won't be seen much anyway because I intend to keep using the satin and lace fabric across it.
Apply the primer with a brush for the small or curvy parts and a small foam roller for the flat areas, such as the sides and top. I used Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 primer (tinted grey).
Tip for painting furniture legs/feet: Place a couple of coins or a small piece of cardboard under the center of each foot so that the sides of the foot are not quite touching the ground. This allows you to paint the feet without having them stick to the surface beneath. A piece of aluminum foil beneath each foot will catch drips.
Allow the primer to dry. (Check the can for recommended drying time.) Then it's time to paint! Use a latex paint of your choice. I used Behr. As with the primer, I applied the paint with a brush and a small foam roller. (And I remembered to include the tray in this photo to show the type of small roller tray I like to use.)
Paint the inside and sides of the drawers. I used "Wild Elderberry," the same purple as my bedroom walls.
Paint the drawer fronts, including the small bits on the side which will show when the drawer is closed. If you plan to do the color-on-color stenciling, be sure to use a matte paint. I used Behr Premium Plus Ultra "Black" in matte sheen.
Next, paint the body of the dresser. I used the matte paint on the sides, where I will do the stenciling. For the small pieces on the front and along the bottom, I used the same color "Black" in a semi-gloss sheen to make a nice sort of frame for the stenciled drawers. The photo below shows only one coat; I added a second coat. Even with tinted primer, black almost always needs two coats.
Stenciling and finishing touches coming up in part 3! :)

I don't think I have ever successfully made any kind of cinnamon buns, so when I found this recipe for vegan sourdough cinnamon buns I was less than confidant in my abilities. Something about sourdough starter culture seems to make everything better (if you know me or follow my instagram you know I'm obsessed with my homemade sourdough bread). These rolls are no exception- they're fluffy, light, slightly sweet and bursting with ooey gooey cinnamon-sugar goodness in every bite. They also seem to be somewhat fail proof as I did not follow the directions properly (typical) and they still turned out.
If you don't have a sourdough starter you can buy one or see if anyone you know has one they can share with you (our friends gave us some of theirs- the culture's name is Suzanne and she's over 13 years old!!!) This recipe needs to rise overnight so you do need to plan ahead if you need them ready at a certain time. I was in no rush with these and they took me closer to 2 days to finish as I didn't have time to roll and cut them when it was time. So if you need to let yours rise longer you should be all good. Do not be fooled by the word "sourdough"- your cinnamon buns won't taste sour- only freaking awesome.
(Full recipe at the bottom)
- 1 1/2 cup sourdough starter
- 2/3 cup almond milk
- 2 tbs sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbs melted vegan butter (I use Earth Balance)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 2 tbs melted vegan butter
- 2-3 tbs cinnamon
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar (you'll have to play around with the ratios)
- 1 tbs melted vegan butter
- 2 tbs almond milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the "dough" ingredients except the four. Slowly add in the flour until the dough is soft but no longer sticky (I needed about 2 1/2 cups).
- Rub some vegan butter in a bowl and roll the dough around to coat it. Cover and let rise until doubled- about 3 hours. (I put mine in my oven with the light on- don't turn the oven on!)
- Punch down the dough (you don't have to wail on it- you can just press it down). Sprinkle your cutting board or counter with lots of flour and even cinnamon and roll out the dough to a 1/4 inch- 1/2 inch thick rectangle (obviously it won't be a perfect rectangle unless you're a rolling master in which case please show me your ways).
- Brush the melted butter from the "filling" ingredients onto the dough (all the way to the edges) and then evenly sprinkle the mixed cinnamon-sugar all over the surface.
- Roll the dough either the long way or the wide way (I am not helpful in this area) and pinch the seam together at the end so it doesn't unroll (I didn't find this necessary as the dough was pretty cohesive). The ends of the dough will probably be pretty messy but its okay- it'll all taste great (just hide those ones and eat them as a sacrifice).
- Cut the dough into about 2 inch rounds and place them touching into a well greased baking dish. Refrigerate overnight (this is where I waited almost a full 24 hours- they were fine).
- When you are ready to bake them, place them on top of the stove while you preheat your oven to 400C to warm them up (I put them back in my oven with the light on for a while before I preheated the oven as well).
- Bake for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and firm when you tap them.
- Make the icing by combing all the ingredients in a bowl and mixing with a hand mixer. You may need to add more icing sugar or more almond milk to get the consistency you want.
- Allow to cool for a bit (I lasted about 5 minutes) then throw on some icing and devour! Make sure you try them fresh out of the oven- next level experience.
I really hope you try and love this recipe! Don't forget to follow me on instagram @lightlovelifeblog and check back here for future posts! Thanks for reading.
Love & Light,

Before & After: Ursula's Guest Corner
If you're a serial host (or even a regular guest!), you'll appreciate Ursula's "guest corner"— a bookshelf in her hallway that houses all the necessities for her visitors. Though it was always practical, she gave it a pretty update to really welcome those out of town-ers.
Spa day at Ursula's, anyone? Color us impressed by those DIY wire baskets!
From Ursula:
It is amazing what a little paint and a bit of organization can do! Most of what was here "before" is here "after," but sometimes we need just a little re-imagining.
After brightening up this hallway and bookcase with a fresh coat of paint, a couple DIY wire baskets and some DIY artwork, the stage is set for an attractive and functional storage space! Now this hallway corner houses everything my weekend guests need to feel at home.

Fivemiletown creamery wins Asia contract
A Northern Ireland Creamery has won an important contract to supply cheese into one of Asia's biggest markets.
Fivemiletown Creamery's contract with Hong Kong-based Dairy Farm International gives them a foot-hold in a market with 14 million customers.
With a workforce of just under 90, the farmer owned cooperative processes milk from 70 herds in the Clogher Valley into speciality cheeses.
Dairy Farm has supermarkets in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Owen Jones, Fivemiletown Creamery's business development manager, described the contract as "a huge boost for the creamery in one of the most dynamic international markets".
"The contract with Dairy Farm gives us a marvellous springboard for growth in a marketplace which has a rapidly growing and affluent middle class increasingly seeking new taste experiences," he said.
"China, for instance, already has 960,000 sterling millionaires.
"As a result of our developing focus on exports, we are now selling our soft cheeses in 15 global markets including Hong Kong.
"Our achievements in these markets brings tangible benefits to the Tyrone and Fermanagh communities in terms of the best prices for high protein milk to our farmers and additional employment opportunities."
Fivemiletown Creamery was founded in 1898 and sells 90% of its soft cheeses outside Northern Ireland.
It sells to Sainsbury's, ASDA, Tesco, Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Walmart and Dean and Deluca in the USA, and Galeries Lafayette in France.

I've been looking for a way to do sourdoughs in the middle of a working week without taking too much time out of a busy schedule. My first attempts involved stretching, folding and shaping the dough in the morning then cold-proving it in the fridge while I was at work for an evening bake, but this was problematic when I started a new job (community neuro-rehab) which demanded an earlier start. Here's the solution, needing only a bit of attention on three successive evenings. I'm using a 100% hydration wholemeal rye starter which I keep in the fridge.
Evening one: I put 100g of sourdough starter in a tub with 200g strong white flour and 200g cold, filtered water, mix it up, put the lid on and put it in the fridge. That takes about 3 minutes.
The next morning, I take the tub out of the fridge and leave it out at room temperature, then off to work. The sponge is looking limp and lumpy, so not a lot has gone on overnight.
Evening Two, approx. 20:00: taking the lid off the tub, the sponge looks loose and bubbly. Ready for action.
I add another 300g of strong white flour, 10g salt and 100g cold, filtered water, a good glug of olive oil and mix it thoroughly by hand. I also throw in a tablespoon of linseeds and a tablespoon of toasted, crushed hemp seeds. Now it just looks like a crude dough. That took about 3 minutes.
I put the lid back on and wander off for 15 minutes doing something else.
20:15. 15 minutes later, the dough has developed a little and is easier to work with. I turn it out onto an oiled work surface.
I take hold of each of the four corners in turn, pull them out gently to stretch the dough and fold the corner back into the middle, as though to make a parcel, repeating this a few times until it feels tight and stretchy.
Now I put a bowl over it to keep in the moisture and leave it for another fifteen minutes and it looks a bit more relaxed.
20:30. Then I repeat the stretch and fold process and it's looking a bit tighter and more elastic.
I cover it with a bowl and wait another 15 minutes to give it the third stretch, fold and shaping.
20:45. The third stretch and fold done, the dough is developing nicely. Back under the bowl for another 15 minutes.
21:00. The final stretch, fold and shaping. Now it has a nice structure, springy, elastic and tight, so I flour the banneton and gently put the dough in, topside down.
I put the banneton into a big ziplock bag to keep in the moisture and put it in the fridge to rise overnight and while I'm at work the following day.
Evening Three, approx. 18:30. When I get home from work, it's nicely risen. I put the oven on maximum (230C) to heat up for 20 minutes.
The dough is ready to be floured and turned out into the base of the combo cooker and slashed.
Now the lid goes on and it's ready to go in the oven.
The lid keeps in the moisture and heat for the first 20 minutes, preventing crust formation and allowing for maximum oven-spring. After 20 minutes the lid comes off and the loaf is nicely risen.
It goes back into the oven, no change in temperature setting, for a further 20-25 minutes to set the crust and finish baking. When it emerges, there's a lovely caramelisation of the crust.
The crust crackles noisily as it cools. The results are consistently good, and it's difficult to resist it while it's cooling, with lots of butter at the ready. It's good for sandwiches and makes gorgeous toast. The routine works well for a busy working week so I can keep it going even when I have an early and rushed start in the mornings.
I've been refining the technique for making sourdough during the working week so that it's out of the oven in time for dinner. It's going pretty well now, and I'm regularly turning out loaves that I'm really pleased with.
It starts off the evening before, when I put 100g of sourdough starter and 200g strong white flour and 200g water into a tub, give it a mix and put the lid on to mature overnight ar room temperature. It seems that the longer I mature this levain, the more of a distinctive sourdough tangy quality shows up in the final loaf, but I'm not 100% sure of this. At the same time, I put 300g of strong white flour and 9g salt in a separate dry tub, just to save time next morning, and 100g water in a third container. Sometimes I use 100g wholemeal spelt or a bit of Kamut instead of some of the white flour, or I might toast some hemp seeds, crush them and put them with the dry flour for tomorrow.
Next morning.
07:00. The levain in the tub is nice and bubbly. I tip in the dry tub of 300g flour and 9g salt, plus the little tub of 100g water, then it gets a good mix for a minute or so, the lid goes back on and I go and shower.
07:15. The dough has developed a little. I tip it out onto the board and stretch and pull each corner of the dough up and into the middle as though forming a parcel. This goes on for a minute or so then I flip it over and form a round by scooping my hands half under it and pulling it toward me so the friction of the work surface pulls the surface of the dough taut. This takes about a minute and a half. I cover it with a bowl and get my breakfast.
07:30. The dough has relaxed a bit.
I flip it over and repeat the parcel-forming pulling and stretching then flip it again and form a round. This takes about a minute. The bowl goes on to cover it again and I go and get dressed.
07:45. The dough has more structure now.
Flip, pull, stretch, form a round, cover. This takes less than a minute. I finish getting ready for work.
08:00. Now the structure is more apparent. For the fourth time, I flip the dough, stretch and fold, form a round and now it's looking really taut and elastic.
I flour my proving basket and put in the dough, top side down, dust with a little semolina and put it in a big ziplock plastic bag, then into the fridge. Off to work.
19:00. 11 hours later the dough has nicely risen in the fridge. Not so much this time as it often does, but it will be OK.
I put the oven on to heat for 20 minutes at 230C with the cast iron combo cooker in the oven.
19:20. I dust the skillet of the combo cooker with semolina and tip the dough into it then slash it, put on the lid of the combo cooker and put it in the oven.
This seals in all the steam that would otherwise be lost, and prevents the crust from forming for the first 20 minutes so as to allow the maximum expansion of the dough.
19:40. I take the lid off, so that the crust can form. When the lid comes off, a cloud of steam escapes and the loaf is fully formed, though pale and soft.
Back in the oven. I usually turn it after another ten minutes so that it's evenly browned.
20:00. Finished. Out it comes and onto a rack to cool for at least 30 minutes.
I love the craggy, caramelised crust produced when using the combo cooker. You can hear the crust crackling as it cools.
It's a really nice loaf with a good shape, nice sourdough taste, but not the most tangy I've had, and a good, moist, open crust but without too many impractical big air holes. This is bread for sandwiches and I don't want everything to fall out.
The starter is one which was given to me on a training day at a Hackney bakery. I feed it with equal quantities of filtered water and stoneground wholemeal rye and I keep it in the fridge.
The technique works well for me and I can keep up the sourdough production during the working week, though only because of my leisurely one-hour pre-work routine.
I've experimented a lot with sourdoughs but this is my first 100% spelt effort. I used 60g wholemeal stoneground rye starter from the fridge to make a levain with 80g white spelt flour and 80g water and left it at room temperature for about 3 hours until it was nice and bubbly.
Then I added another 220g of white spelt and 60g water, mixed thoroughly and left covered for 15 minutes. Next, I added 5g salt and a good glug of olive oil and mixed thoroughly then put it onto an oiled worktop and did a bit of folding and stretching for about a minute and formed it into a round. I waited 15 minutes and did another minute of folding and stretching and shaping into a round, and repeated the process another couple of times before forming it into a slightly longer shape and putting it into a floured towel with its ends held together by bulldog clips to form a kind of hammock shape.
After about four hours it seemed to have risen enough so I turned it out into my preheated combo cooker, slashed it and put it into the preheated oven at 230C. I took the lid off after 18 minutes and baked it for a further 20 minutes at the same temperature.
I'm very pleased with the result. The crumb is soft and light and the crust is very crunchy; much more so than with wheat flour.
The starter was about 120% hydration, so the 60g that I used was probably about 27g rye and 33g water, so I think the overall hydration of the loaf, starter included, is about 64%. Next time I'll try it with a cold final proving in the fridge.
This is a bit unusual. I saw smoked flour on the shelf of Waitrose in Kensington so had togive it a go. The flour is from Bacheldre watermill in Wales and is described as organic smoked stoneground malted blend flour. Their website says that malted wheat flakes are cold smoked over oak chippings for 18 hours in the smokehouse then mixed with organic stoneground malted blend flour. There's a gentle smoky aroma from the dry flour which becomes more assertive when it's wet.
I baked it as a sourdough made with a sponge (60g starter, 200g flour, 200g water) refrigerated overnight and left out for a couple of hours in the morning. Then I added 300g flour, 150g water, 12g salt (total 71% hydration), did a bit of stretching and folding, shaped it and let it prove at room temperature for a couple of hours or so then baked at 230°C for 20 minutes then 20 minutes at 185°C.
The result is less smoky than I expected, and the predominant flavour is still that of a malted loaf, but with a subtle, smoky background which adds interest and a distinctive character to the bread. It's certainly worth a try if you can get it, but apparently it's difficult to get it across the atlantic. I'll try it with a higher hydration next time.
Since I started bread baking last year I've been aiming mainly at sourdough and have made some reasonably good loaves at the weekend but it has been a challenge to fit it into the week's work schedule. The comparatively long rise of approx. 4 hours means I'd be baking at 22:50 if I made the loaf on getting home from work. Letting it rise in the fridge while I'm at work seems a pretty good solution to this, and here's how I've worked it so far.
08:00 Tuesday: mixed 50g starter with 50g wholemeal rye flour and 50g water (the starter is 50% hydrated wholemeal rye and lives in the fridge all the time. It's pretty active despite this). Left it at room temperature, went to work.
18:00 Tuesday: home from work; added 50g strong white organic flour and 50g water. Still at room temperature.
22:00 Tuesday: added 100g white flour and 100g water, still at room temperature.
07:00 Wednesday: added 300g strong white flour, 100g water, 11g salt, a glug of olive oil; mixed, a little bit of folding and stretching, formed a round, left whilst showering, dressing, breakfasting.
07:50 Wednesday: a bit more stretching, folding, gentle kneading and it's looking good. Shaped into a stubby cylinder, into the banneton, bagged, in the fridge. Off to work.
17:30 Wednesday: home from work, dough looks ready. Oven on, 230°C, baking stone in. Oven ready, baking stone out, turned loaf onto stone, dusted with wholemeal rye, slashed, into the oven, 300g boiling water into a hot baking tray for steam. Baked for 20 min at 230°C then 25 min at 190°C. It needs longer baking due to going into the oven fridge-cold.
Result: pretty good. Nice, crunchy crust; moderately airy, moist crumb; reasonably good sourdough tang. For such a relatively small amount of wholemeal rye, it has a surprising amount of wholemeal flavour. I'm not sure where to take it next to get a lighter, airier crumb, but I think I might experiment with leaving it out of the fridge a bit longer before baking in order to let it warm up a bit and do some more rising.
The overall hydration is about 62%. The starter came from a training day at e5 Bakehouse with a reputed 200 year trans-European pedigree and seemed better than my own home-grown starter. I always feed it with equal amounts of wholemeal rye and filtered water and keep it in the fridge.

From Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia:
Is there is a recommended ratio of the number of units of fast-acting insulin to slow acting insulin taken? Also what is the recommended maximum number of units of insulin per kg. of body weight? Do either of these figures vary depending on age of the person with diabetes? My son is Type 1, age 9, diagnosed 6 years, and my brother is Type 1, age 35, diagnosed 2 years. My son is on Actrapid/Monotard, my brother is on Humalog/Protaphane.
In general, before puberty a child needs 1/2 unit of insulin for every kg of body weight (one kg equals 2.2 lbs) every 24 hours. During puberty and the first years of adolescence, this dose can substantially increase up to 1.5 unit per kg of body weight. During adulthood, this dose decreases down to between 0.6 and 0.7 unit per kg of body weight.
It is also important to make sure that the dose is distributed well throughout the entire day. The ratio of fast-acting insulin to slow-acting insulin on the basis of total insulin requirement is on average around 0.4 and 0.6. If you mix Regular with slow-acting insulin in the same syringe before meals, the amount of Regular is usually between a half and a third of the slow-acting insulin.

At Capcom's pre-TGS press briefing, Koji Nakajima showed off his new Mega Man title Mega Man X: Command Mission. This new Mega Man is pulling a few new tricks out of his blaster. The most surprising announcement is that this won't be your typical action game; instead, Mega Man is starring in an RPG.
While this comes as quite a surprise, Nakajima promised that action fans will still like Mega Man's new direction. You'll be able to choose three people to partake in your party, including resident favorites like Mega Man, Zero and Axel. Mega Man will also be able to recruit new members into his party as he explores his world.
Those of you thinking that Mega Man just won't be the same in RPG form -- don't pass this title off quite yet. You'll still be firing Mega Man's blaster and performing super moves with Zero via complicated button presses.
Mega Man X: Command Mission will be appearing on both the Playstation 2 and GameCube sometime in 2004. Stay tuned to IGN to learn more on this new take on a classic franchise. Also, be sure to check below for a first screenshot.

Many Presbyterians are aware of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)'s four Special Offerings, but many also are unclear about how those offerings translate into real-life ministries.
Telling those stories and increasing transparency are the goals of IMPACT 365, a new app from the PC(USA)'s Special Offerings office.
The free app, available on iTunes, provides users with a daily story and photo detailing how a donation to a Special Offering has changed a life.
"We're very proud of the fact that things supported by the Special Offerings have a ton of impact," said Sam Locke, director of Special Offerings.
The story for Feb. 21 focuses on Presbyterian Disaster Assistance's response to the March 2011 earthquake and nuclear plant destruction in Japan. Leaked radiation jeopardized the country's food supply, and PDA worked with farmers to teach new methods for protecting crops.
PDA receives funds from the One Great Hour of Sharing (OGHS) offering. The other Special Offerings are the Pentecost, Peacemaking and Christmas Joy offerings.
A significant portion of money raised from the Pentecost and Peacemaking offerings is retained at the mid-council level. IMPACT 365 also tells those stories, Locke said.
Another iTunes app to be released soon is Gracie, named for the "mascot" of the OGHS offering.
Children's donations to OGHS have often been collected in cardboard fish banks. Stories about the OGHS fish known as Gracie are released every year to educate children about disaster relief, poverty and hunger — major targets for OGHS.
The average gift size per member to OGHS is $2, Locke said. The Gracie app isn't a major fundraising program but rather a way to breathe fresh energy into the offering.
"We're trying to meet people where they are and trying to engage them in out-of-the-box ways," he said. "It's really individuals doing what they can collectively to do a huge amount of difference in the world. At the end of the day, we all want the same thing, which is to share Christ's mission to the world."

The United States stands to lose valuable economic contributors unless it removes immigration barriers to international STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) students who earn advanced degrees here, according to a study released today by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
International Ph.D. students in the United States on temporary visas accounted for nearly two-fifths (39 percent) of all Ph.D.s in STEM fields in 2013 – a proportion that has doubled over the past three decades. If the trend continues, the majority of STEM Ph.D.s from U.S. universities will go to international students by 2020.
The report, "Will They Stay or Will They Go? International STEM Students Are Up for Grabs," conducted by Richard Appelbaum and Xueying Han at the University of California, Santa Barbara, shows that nearly two out of five international STEM students are undecided about whether to stay in America or return to their home countries after graduation. More than a third of them are aware of programs designed to lure them back to their countries of origin, at the same time U.S. immigration policy makes it difficult for them to remain here.
The ability to retain international STEM graduates has implications for U.S. entrepreneurship, innovation and economic growth. In 2014, 29 percent of all new U.S. startups were founded by immigrant entrepreneurs, reflecting a startup rate nearly twice as high as that of U.S.-born adults.
"Innovation is one of America's strongest assets, but other nations are gaining on us," said Yasuyuki Motoyama, director in Research and Policy at the Kauffman Foundation. "If we want to maintain our edge amid intensifying global competition, then our immigration policies must be modified to make it easier for international STEM students to make America their permanent home."
Sixty-nine percent of U.S. international STEM students come from China, India, South Korea and Taiwan – all countries that pose a growing challenge to U.S. dominance in science and technology.
The Kauffman report draws from 2,322 responses to an email survey of domestic and international graduate students enrolled in STEM programs at the 10 U.S. universities with the largest number of international students. Thirty-four percent of the respondents were international students holding temporary visas.
International students were significantly more likely than their domestic counterparts to seek employment with companies, as opposed to working for government agencies, the survey found.
In addition, 47.8 percent of international STEM students would like to stay in the United States upon graduation, and 40.5 percent are undecided. Put another way, nearly nine out of 10 international STEM students are potential immigrants to this country. The "undecideds" represent a sizeable pool of talented scientists and engineers whose futures are up for grabs.
The report recommends that Congress take action to open the immigration door wider to international STEM students, including:
The Kauffman researchers recommended that Congress avoid lumping illegal immigration with legal immigration in one bill, cautioning that "politics should play no role in an issue so critical to the future of U.S. competitiveness."
