Adolescent Populations: An Overview of Issues and Social Problems
Todd Michael Franke and Diane de Anda
This entry begins with a presentation of demographic data from the U.S. Census 2010 on the adolescent population 12 to 19 years by age, gender, and ethnicity. A summary of the information available on major issues and problems affecting adolescent populations is presented from numerous governmental and empirical research sources on the following topics: education, runaway and homeless youth, sexual behavior, substance abuse, suicide, victimization and criminal behavior, and texting while driving.
Adolescents: Practice Interventions
David L. Hussey
This chapter summarizes literature and research related to advances in direct practice work with adolescents. Social workers are on the forefront of developing and utilizing a variety of evidence-based practices to address complex client and community needs.
African Americans: Practice Interventions
Sharon E. Moore
African Americans number about 35 million or 12% of the U.S. population. Their life expectancy is lower than that of White Americans, and despite the educational gains made since mid-1980s, the unemployment gap between African Americans and Whites has increased. Similarly, although the number of African Americans working in white-collar occupations has increased, the disparity in wage earnings between African American and White workers continues. Regardless of social class African Americans are made to be cognizant of their race at all times. Today they are still at risk for social issues such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy, incarceration, poverty, high rates of female headed households, infant mortality that is twice as high as Whites, residential segregation, racism, and discrimination. As daunting as these problems are, the strengths of the African American community have allowed it to thrive even amid arduous circumstances.
Alternative Education
Cynthia Franklin, Linda Webb, and Hannah Szlyk
This article will cover the current best practices in designing and establishing alternative programs for at-risk students and suggest how social workers can assist in program development and sustainability. At-risk students are youth considered more likely than others to drop out of school due to various factors, including truancy, poor grades, disruptive behaviors, pregnancy, and repeated expulsions or suspensions. The history of alternative education in the United States will be reviewed and the types of alternative educations programs in practice outlined. How the framework of an alternative school differs from that of a disciplinary program will be examined along with initial steps toward development and implementation. Effective strategies explained include establishing a task force, involving the greater community, and implementing evidence-based interventions such as Response to Intervention (RTI) into the school curriculum. An example of a sustainable public alternative education program grounded in solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) is presented.
Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing People
Martha A. Sheridan and Barbara J. White
Effective social work practice with deaf and hard-of-hearing people requires a unique, and diverse, collection of knowledge, values, skills, and ethical considerations. Salient issues among this population are language, communication, and educational choices, interpreting, assistive devices, cochlear implants, genetics, culture, and access to community resources. Competencies at micro, mezzo, and macro levels with a deaf or hard-of-hearing population include knowledge of the psychosocial and developmental aspects of hearing loss, fluency in the national sign language, and an understanding of deaf cultural values and norms. In the United States, the use of American Sign Language (ASL) is the single most distinguishing factor that identifies deaf people as a linguistic minority group. This entry presents an overview of the practice competencies and intervention approaches that should be considered in working with deaf and hard-of-hearing people, their families, communities, and organizations. It introduces the knowledge base, diversity in community and cultural orientations, social constructions, and international perspectives, current research and best practices, interdisciplinary connections, trends, challenges, and implications for effective social work practice with this population. An integrative strengths-based transactional paradigm is suggested.
Early Childhood Home Visiting
Melissa Lim Brodowski, Jacqueline Counts, and Aislinn Conrad-Hiebner
This chapter provides an overview of early-childhood home-visiting programs and offers a brief summary of the research, policy, and practice issues. The first section defines home visiting and the funding available to support it. The next section summarizes common characteristics of home-visiting programs and describes the features of several evidence-based home-visiting programs. The outcomes from home visiting for parents and children, including relevant cost-benefit studies, are briefly reviewed. The chapter concludes with implementation issues and future directions for home visiting.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
Tonya Edmond and Karen Lawrence
Since its inception in 1987, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy has been the subject of lively debate and controversy, rigorous research both nationally and internationally, and is now used by licensed practitioners across six continents as an effective treatment of trauma symptoms and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The aim of this entry is to provide social work practitioners and researchers with a description of the treatment approach for adults and children, EMDR's development and theoretical basis, a review of controversial issues, and an overview of the evidence of effectiveness of EMDR across trauma types and populations.
Functional Behavioral Assessment
Michelle Alvarez, Kimberly Zammitt, Laura Strunk, and Kevin Filter
A functional behavioral assessment (FBA) is a set of procedures that are used to assess and identify environmental conditions that predict and maintain behavior FBA is a means to determine the purpose of a person's behavior and the ways in which the behavior is reinforced in the person's environment. Underlying the functional assessment of behavior is the assumption that the way one behaves is functionally related to aspects of the environment. This relation is reliable, predictable, and observable, and can thus be assessed by an outside observer. The FBA entails the use of a series of methods to determine the variables that contextualize a behavior of interest. Contextual variables can include any aspect of the individual's environment and are usually separated temporally between those factors that occur before a behavior and those which occur after. The latter are termed consequences and the former are typically referred to as antecedents. Usually, the behaviors under study, especially in applied settings, are called target behaviors. Temporally, these factors are conceptualized in an ABC framework: antecedent, behavior, and consequence. The behavior of interest is the target of a subsequent intervention; the intervention is informed by the FBA and utilizes the understanding of the behavior's purpose. Antecedents are altered such that target behaviors are no longer prompted or motivated by environmental conditions, new socially acceptable behaviors are taught that can access the desired reinforcer and replace the target behavior, and reinforcers are altered to decrease access when the target behavior occurs and increase access when the replacement behavior occurs. FBAs are frequently used in schools to address problem behaviors. Problem behaviors occur with students in the school setting for many different reasons. Research has determined that the use of FBAs is useful in identifying environmental factors that predict and maintain problem behaviors. The use of FBAs in the school setting has proven to increase positive student outcomes. This article demonstrates how FBAs can be used effectively in different settings.
Group Work with School-Aged Children
Craig Winston LeCroy and Jenny McCullough Cosgrove
Research has shown groups are an efficient and effective modality for interventions with school-aged children. Psychoeducational and psychotherapeutic groups are frequently used to guide children in areas such as skills training, emotional regulation, violence prevention, and grief. There are key developmental questions to consider when working with children that take into consideration factors such as cognitive development and emotional maturity. Overall, groups can be an efficient and effective intervention in the school setting for use by school social workers.
HIV/AIDS: Children
Larry D. Icard, Jacqueline J. Lloyd, and Gisoo Barnes
HIV/AIDS has introduced an array of issues and needs for children, youth, and their families. Family-focused interventions have emerged as a viable strategy for researchers and practitioners seeking effective and appropriate responses for the prevention, treatment, and care of children, youth, and families affected by HIV/AIDS. This discussion provides an overview of the epidemiology of HIV infection among children and youth, and highlights common elements and trends in the development, implementation, and testing of family-focused interventions. The discussion concludes with a commentary on areas for future attention.

Add the Kansas City Chiefs to the list of teams who could be in the market for a quarterback Thursday at the NFL draft.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Monday that contract negotiations with Alex Smith aren't progressing well, leading the team to consider selecting a quarterback in the first round, according to sources familiar with Smith's situation.
Build your own mock draft:
Make your best guesses here for all 32 picks of the first round of the NFL Draft and you could win a trip to attend the 2014 NFL Kickoff game. Play now ...
Smith turns 30 on Wednesday and will be a free agent after the season. The quarterback certainly proved his worth in his first season with Andy Reid: The Chiefs had as good an offense as any team in football in the season's final two months.
The Chiefs select 23rd overall in the first round. They don't pick again until the third round, giving them only one selection in the draft's first 86 picks.
The Chiefs surely don't want to have to use that pick on a position in which they had finally found some stability. Smith certainly doesn't want young competition at his door (he's been down that road).
This feels like a stern message to Smith and his agent that the Chiefs aren't going to be held hostage in negotiations.

Hamburger Buns
How odd that my first bread-baking foray in my new Wolf oven would be the mundane hamburger bun. But I've been craving a simple hamburger, and it occurred to me that maybe I could make the best hamburger ever if I had fresh, homemade buns. But, although I had high hopes for these--they smelled terrific coming out of the oven--I have to admit it was not the best hamburger ever.
If Rose had decided to include a recipe for a hamburger bun, she would have tried it a few dozen times until she had it perfected, and then I would have the benefit of her experiments. I'm not willing to do that, but if I were, here are a few things I'd do. This recipe made a very soft bun. I would check out some ciabatta recipes to see if I could adapt one of those. I think it would stand up to a hamburger better and wouldn't squish so readily. I would at least use bread flour instead of all-purpose.
I deliberately didn't grill the buns because I wanted to taste them in their unsullied state. But they needed grilling. Buttering and grilling would be even better.
They are cute, though.
2 T. unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 egg
435 grams all-purpose flour
45 grams sugar
1 t. salt
1 T. instant yeast
250 g. water
1 egg yolk mixed with 1 t. water
Sesame seeds
1. Mix butter, egg, flour, sugar, and yeast with dough hook until thorougohly blended.
2. Add salt and gradually add water.
3. Knead for about five minutes (10 if kneading by hand).
4. Put dough in lightly greased bowl. Cover with lid or plastic wrap. Let rise until doubled, about an hour.
5. Divide dough into 8 pieces and shape each piece as if shaping a boule. Place them on baking sheet lined with parchment, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes.
6. Brush egg yolk glaze on buns, and sprinkle with sesame seed.
7. Put in preheated 375-degree oven.
8. Bake about 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Remove from oven and cool on wire rack.

Oh, they do look very handsome and perky. Did you use the proofing bit in the new oven?
Your kitchen needs some Rose bread magic!
Cinnamon Crumb Surprise? Imagine the wonderful aroma in your new kitchen?
Then make some fresh ground coffee. Then invite your wonderful neighbors. Gorgeous!

I did a search on Rose's website for hamburger buns. She talks about hamburger buns a little bit there.
She uses Harvest King Flour for her Hearth bread recipe for hamburger buns with some oil added.
Look at:
also on that page, if you scroll down, there's this exchange:
"I've sometimes made homemade hamburger buns but not with great results. Since I've gotten sold on my Bread Bible, I searched the index and then your blog for a recipe. This basic HK recipe showed up, but I'd been imagining a somewhat richer bread. Not as rich as brioche! Any suggestions? I thought of just substituting milk for the water in this recipe, but I'm not sure what that will do. As always, thank you for your advice and recipes!"

"too late for this superbowl dinner but i adore hamburger buns made with the soft white sandwich loaf--the sweet potato version in particular bc it makes them so golden. i use these for crab cakes sandwiches in summer as well.
just this week made hamburgers of kobe beef on them--so little flavor from the meat--they weren't worthy of the rolls!"
Posted by: Rose Levy Beranbaum | February 4, 2007 5:08 PM
"Thank you for your response! I used the HK recipe with the oil and then substituted an egg for part of the water and only used 1 cup water. I needed a couple of extra tablespoons flour to get the dough firm enough to handle. I then used your egg white glaze recipe from the BB and sprinkled on some sesame seeds right before baking. The rolls were picture perfect and delicious. "
In my mental baking, the difference of mild honey and the addition of oil would be right. What do you think?
However, I must admit that after Melinda mentionned Cinnamon Crumb Surpise with freshly ground coffee, that is way more tempting than thinking about hamburger buns. That's what's now in my head!!!! I think I can smell it! Ahhhhh!!!!!
Unpacking is so messy... packing is messy... renovating is messy, though I must say, your site was amazingly clean and tidy for most of the time.
But we will all wait til you have your kitchen organized and everything put away, so beautifully that you can buy flowers for your kitchen and step back and admire its clean lines, its beauty, and its functionality.
And then, please, post pictures of the light fixture with the globes in, the windows with their sheepy things (I'll never remember the right name now), the door knobs, the finished tile behind the stove, the revealed oven, and, oh yes, that faucet with water coming out!
And tell us what you think of the oven? of the new cooktop? (give us a review of them each!) of the expanded cupboard space? of sitting in the kitchen with the light streaming in on that granite counter.
It will be done. You will get there.
It will serve you as it is supposed to. And give you quiet joy as you work.

Thank you so much for searching for Rose's version of hamburger buns! The sweet potato idea sounds excellent. And thanks for your words of encouragement--we're still at the stage of tying up loose ends. But as soon as they're all tied up, I'll post pictures of the finished kitchen. As for the faucet--yes, it works perfectly. Maybe one day Jim will explain how that happened.

Jim is very embarrassed about the faucet and made a complete fool of himself by getting very angry at it while it worked perfectly the whole time. He did not know how the faucet worked and was vigorously changing the temperature by moving the handle back and forth and getting so mad at the absence of flowing water that he did not see that all he had to do was move the handle sideways. Jim is not good at thinking outside the box. He is sorry about the whole thing and refuses to discuss it.
- breadbasketcase said...
I haven't read the instructions yet so I don't know how to use the proofing cycle. One day soon I'll discover everything my miracle oven can do! In fact, I'd better discover it soon because we plan to have a kitchen-warming open house for the neighbors next weekend.
Jim has a very bad case of third person. That is really funny!
I can't believe you haven't read the instructions on the Wolf. Bad owner, bad! (But then, I always try to do it first time without reading the instructions too. ie. my beautiful Bernina sewing machine.
Glad the kitchen warming is happening. It needs some alcohol and bread.
- Melinda said...
Sorry, forgot to fill in my name...anon. is from me.
You two are fun and genuine and I love it! Okay, I am exhausted from ripping out carpet in our new home today but I had to write a comment. When I am tired I tend to write like an elementary schooler...but I stand by fun and genuine.
By "you guys" I mean you and Jim...by fun, I mean everytime I read your blog I find myself chuckling (same with reading Jim's comments)...by genuine, I mean I love your honesty about your new kitchen.
I hate reading the manuals too, but do keep it close because it will be fun to refer to later. I agree with Melinda it is time for the kitchen to be "warmed" with food, alcohol and more friends!
Your analogy of the "renting a condo and cooking in it..." is perfect, it isn't the "old familiar". But...it will be, and I can't wait for that to begin to happen...good luck and thanks for sharing!
- breadbasketcase said...
Melinda and Stacey,
I've read the instructions--they're actually quite helpful. In a week or two I plan to read the instructions for my new cooktop, and then, in a month or two, maybe I'll read the microwave instructions. One can't rush into these things.

This week is Read Across America Week. I think it is such a fun week to celebrate. The National Education Association's Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss' Birthday are on March 2. Around here the school's participate in Dr. Seuss week. At my children's school they have picked different activities to do each day that go along with different Dr. Seuss books.
Monday-Wear green for Green Eggs and Ham and Yertle the Turtle
Tuesday-Wear silly socks and 2 different shoes for the Foot Book and Fox in Socks
Wednesday-Carry books (Dr. Seuss) with you at all times
Thursday-Wear Red and a hat for The Cat in the Hat
Friday-Pajama Day to celebrate Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book.
(We're doing these activities at home, too!)
Here are a ton of other ideas to help you celebrate this week:
Green Eggs and Ham
Check out this post of mine to see how to make these 2 different kinds of green eggs.
Seussville is a fantastic site that can help you celebrate! This site is a lot of fun. It has information on Dr. Seuss, videos, games and activities, characters, news, and pages for educators and parents! I love that you can sort through things based on activities or by book. That way you can match the activities to the books you have! Go here to download the 2011 NEA's Read Across America activity booklet.
Check out PBS kids for The Cat in the Hat games, printables, videos and more. Lots of wonderful interactive fun!
There is a super-cute blog that is called ObSeussed. Her blog bio says "I'm ObSEUSSed with bringing children's books and characters to life through kid crafts and family fun." Make sure to check out the fantastic tabs across the top of her blog. The first is Seuss Links where she has a linky party of fun Seuss ideas. The next one is Seuss Central where she has amazing links to all things Dr. Seuss. Then, she's got Seuss Style which has links to decorating Dr. Seuss style. Next up are Seuss Celebrations; which are party and treat ideas.
She just had a fantastic idea to go with the book Hop on Pop! You will love it!
I'd love to see how everyone else celebrates Dr. Seuss this way! Leave a link here and I'll be sure to check them out myself and post them here!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Got a chance to sit down with TheStreet's Jim Cramer and discuss gas prices, now up more than 50 cents in the last month alone. What is causing this unprecedented rise?Many of the most repeated arguments I hear just don't wash for me, including reduced Saudi supply and a shutting down of East Coast refineries previously owned by Hess ( HES) and ConocoPhillips ( COP). What does make sense to me is the strong increase in speculative positions in gasoline, now at a greater number than at any time in that contract's history, even going back to the major spike in oil prices in 2007. This is a theme I wrote about extensively in my book "Oil's Endless Bid," now resurrected in the gasoline market. The last time retail gas prices hovered near $4 a gallon, crude prices were $20 higher; the time before that, crude was almost $40 higher than it is selling for now. This is the clearest indication that speculators have added a strong premium into the price of gasoline even before we go into the demand-hungry summer. Gasoline is a very hot trade right now, akin to shorting the Japanese yen, but far more destructive to the consumer. Have a look at the video I taped with Jim for more.

Judge: Courtroom stays open for Duncan hearing
Thu., Jan. 17, 2013, 1:14 p.m.
BOISE — A federal judge has rejected a request that the courtroom be closed for part of a convicted murderer's mental competency hearing.
The Idaho Statesman reported U.S. District Judge Edward Lodge made the ruling today in the competency hearing of Joseph Edward Duncan III. An appellate court ordered the hearing to help Lodge determine if Duncan was mentally competent in 2008, when he gave up his right to appeal his death sentence for the 2005 kidnapping of two northern Idaho children and the murder of one of them.
Attorneys for Duncan asked the judge earlier this month to close the courtroom for some testimony from Duncan's former lawyers, or to hear the testimony in a private location. The defense team said the lawyers were best able to talk about Duncan's mental status back in 2008 because they had more contact with him than any experts did at the time.
Duncan's attorneys said the lawyers should be allowed to testify in private to keep from scaring off current and future clients, since the testimony could include conversations that would normally be protected by the attorney-client relationship. Attorney-client privilege means that most communications between an attorney and a defendant are private and don't have to be revealed in court, although a defendant can waive that right if he or she wishes.
U.S. Attorney Wendy Olson countered that there was simply no overriding reason to close the courtroom that would trump the public's interest in having open access to the courts.
"Furthermore, the public has a significant interest in these competency proceedings," Olson wrote in her court filing. "Considerable public resources have been devoted to the investigation, prosecution and earlier court proceedings in this case. In this hearing, the public already has observed several witnesses testify regarding the defendant's communication style, his communications with mental health professionals and those mental health professionals' interaction, or lack thereof, with former defense team members."
Duncan kidnapped 9-year-old Dylan Groene and Dylan's younger sister from their Wolf Lodge, Idaho, home after killing several of their family members in 2005. He kept the children in the Montana wilderness for weeks before killing Dylan and returning with Dylan's sister to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, where he was arrested.
He was sentenced to life in prison in Idaho state court for the Wolf Lodge murders, and to life in prison in California state court for the murder of 10-year-old Anthony Martinez in 1997 — a crime he confessed to after the Idaho murders. Duncan has also told investigators that he killed 11-year-old Sammiejo White and her 9-year-old half-sister, Carmen Cubias, near Seattle in 1996, but he has never been charged in their deaths.

[New Delhi, October 29. Image via Getty]
To go with India-religion-Sikhs-unrest-Gandhi-25yrs,FOCUS by Elizabeth Roche Indian Sikh woman Gurdeep Kaur poses while a portrait of family members who died during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots is seen on a wall at her residence in New Delhi on October 29, 2009. For Gurdeep Kaur, this weekend marks the 25th anniversary of the day she saw her son burnt alive during an orgy of anti-Sikh violence sparked by the killing of India's then prime minister. Kaur is one of countless women widowed by the anti-Sikh riots in New Delhi and elsewhere that raged for four days following Gandhi's killing on October 31, 1984, claiming at least 2,700 lives. As India gears up to mark Gandhi's 25th death anniversary, wounds left by the violence are far from being healed, with many still waiting for those accused of inciting the violence to be brought to justice.

Whole Grains Hard to Find in Foodservice
Consumers are getting the whole-grain message, but have trouble finding these wholesome products when they dine out.
"Make half your grains whole," recommends last year's revised USDA Dietary Guidelines. And Americans are heeding the advice, at least in the supermarket purchases they make for preparation at home. But finding whole grains gets a lot tougher when you're eating out.
Food processors can help. Making whole-grain foods both available and delectable should be a priority for any company supplying the foodservice segment.
NPD Group, Port Washington, N.Y., reports a significant increase in breakfast consumption across all ages. Baby boomers tend to consume them at home or at restaurants, younger folks eat on the run. Food companies know it is challenging for consumers to include a healthy breakfast in their daily repertoire. The growing need for time-pressed consumers is convenient and healthier breakfast products.
Whole-grain breads and rolls are relatively easy to formulate for foodservice environs. Whole-grain pancakes and waffle mixes, however, continue to challenge both formulators and chefs.
|Consumers who order whole-wheat pancakes (such as those served at Joey's Pancake House, pictured above) and waffles in restaurants are accustomed to the taste, texture and denseness associated with griddled products made from whole-grain flours.
No matter how finely milled, whole-grain flours have a wider range of particle size distribution than refined flours. This composition and particle size heterogeneity requires more time for even hydration; smaller and starchy particles hydrate fastest, larger and bran- and aleurone-rich particles require more time. The hydration differential causes gradation of viscosity and flow properties - so a freshly prepared pancake or waffle batter has drastically different leavening requirements than one allowed to rest for a while.
In contrast, refined flour batters hydrate rapidly and uniformly and can generally hold their properties for an extended period of time and produce finished products with consistent quality.
Additional particle reduction is just one of the keys to recently introduced flour products from ConAgra Foods, Omaha, Neb., and ADM Milling, Overland Park, Kan. (A new breed of white wheat is the other key - to be discussed later.) Processors are exploring ConAgra's Ultragrain and ADM's Kansas Diamond for pancake and waffle mixes with the taste and performance of their refined flour counterparts in foodservice settings. Both products offer processors a way to get more evenness from whole-grain flours.
Marketers must note, however, that consumers who order whole-wheat pancakes and waffles in restaurants are accustomed to the taste, texture and denseness associated with griddled products made from whole-grain flours. Joey's Pancake House in the Maggie Valley national park area of North Carolina serves only breakfast foods but all day long, and outdoor enthusiasts line up for the restaurant's signature whole-wheat pancake mix. "Die-hard fans are conditioned to the naturally darker color and richer taste associated with whole-wheat pancakes and waffles," says Ruth Campanella, vice president of product development at Blend Pak, Bloomfield, Ky., which is the supplier of the pancake mix. "Trying to make them bland and lighter would be a disservice to those who seek them that way and those who are teaching their families the taste of whole-grain nutrition."
Solutions for the time-related variation in performance of griddle batters include pre-measured dispensers as an effective work-around to ensure consistent product quality each time a premeasured flask is opened. Hydrocolloids are being used by some food manufacturers for even hydration and to sustain batter viscosity during standing. Yet another approach is to render the batter less elastic and more plastic by replacing a portion of the gluten-rich whole-wheat flour with other non-gluten flours such as amaranth or quinoa and to use faster-acting leavening, such as baking powder or baking soda, for a light texture.
Tortillas and chips
For many school foodservice directors, the greatest challenge lies in hiding the whole grains in prepared meals. Emphasizing the whole grain or the fiber portion, they find, often turns their young consumers off. But whole-grain derivatives offer more that just fiber and complex carbohydrates. They are an excellent way to provide nutrition-rich calories to growing children. The key to sampling is to create whole-grain products that convey a message of good taste over nutrition.
For example, masa, derived from corn, is a very nutritious whole grain-like raw material for snacks that are popular with children. Almost all corn and tortilla chips are made from masa - nixtamalized corn. Because the pericarp is lost in the nixtamalization process, masa is not technically regarded "whole grain." But masa offers children fiber and antioxidants and wholesome nutrition plus, most of all, the promise of good taste.
|While most corn and tortilla chips are not whole-grain, Clarkson Grain has managed to develop a whole-grain ingredient for that application. Indigo Blue imparts fiber, antioxidants, wholesome nutrition, taste and blue color.
Clarkson Grain (www.clarksongrain.com), Cerro Gordo, Ill., offers a new hybrid that is whole grain. "Indigo Blue has excellent blue color and flavor and as much as four times more anthocyanins on as-is basis than blueberries and more than 'super grain Peruvian corn,'" says general manager Rick Bucker. Indigo Blue corn is the raw material for many commercial blue corn tortilla chips.

December 21, 2011
On December 21, 2011, the Food and Drug Administration approved dosing recommendations for Isentress (raltegravir) for pediatric patients ages 2 to 18 years and weighing at least 10 kg. In addition a 100 mg scored chewable tablet and 25 mg chewable tablet was approved for use in pediatric patients.
The Dosage and Administration section includes the following general dosing recommendations and dosing recommendations for pediatrics.
General Dosing Recommendations
The following was added to Section 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS:
5.3 Phenylketonurics
The following was added to Section 6 ADVERSE REACTIONS:
6.5 Clinical Trials Experience: Pediatrics
The following text was added to Section 7 Drug Interactions subsection 7.2:
The following information was added to Section 8.4 Pediatric Use:
8.4 Pediatric Use
The following information was added to Section 12.3 Pharmacokinetics:
Q95K/R was added to list of substitutions under 12.4 Microbiology/Antiviral Activity in Cell Culture section.
The following was added under Section 14 CLINICAL STUDIES:
14.3 Pediatric Subjects
The initial dose finding stage included intensive pharmacokinetic evaluation. Dose selection was based upon achieving similar raltegravir plasma exposure and trough concentration as seen in adults, and acceptable short term safety. After dose selection, additional subjects were enrolled for evaluation of long term safety, tolerability and efficacy. Of the 126 subjects, 96 received the recommended dose of ISENTRESS [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
These 96 subjects had a median age of 13 (range 2 to 18) years, were 51% Female, 34% Caucasian, and 59% Black. At baseline, mean plasma HIV-1 RNA was 4.3 log10 copies/mL, median CD4 cell count was 481 cells/mm3 (range: 0 - 2361) and median CD4% was 23.3% (range: 0 - 44). Overall, 8% had baseline plasma HIV-1 RNA >100,000 copies/mL and 59% had a CDC HIV clinical classification of category B or C. Most subjects had previously used at least one NNRTI (78%) or one PI (83%).
Ninety-three (97%) subjects 2 to 18 years of age completed 24 weeks of treatment (3 discontinued due to non-compliance). At Week 24, 54% achieved HIV RNA <50 copies/mL; 72% achieved HIV RNA <400 copies/mL or =1 log10 HIV RNA drop from baseline. The mean CD4 count (percent) increase from baseline to Week 24 was 119 cells/mm3 (3.8%).
Isentress is an HIV integrase strand transfer inhibitor manufactured by Merck & Co., Inc.

Dillon Gee pitched around some early inning trouble, and the offense put up enough runs to put the game out of reach as the Mets won the game, 8-5 and the series versus the Rangers
Game Notes
Dillon Gee was effective, if not spectacular in his six innings of work today. He allowed three runs on eight hits, walking two and striking out one while allowing one HR. Gee looked to be doomed in the first inning, giving up numerous hits. He settled down and looked very good in the later innings for the most part. He hasn't shown that good control recently, and thus has been getting hit because he cannot locate.
Four of the bullpen boys came out today. Beato went an clean inning, Byrdak a clean two-thirds, Izzy a clean one-third and K-Rod came out in a game that was five runs ahead and managed to make it only a three run win. K-Rod has consistently looked…bad. It isn't a matter of pitching himself in and out of trouble now. He is walking batters, giving up extra base hits and being forced into situations. His ineptitude to "close" also hurts some of his trade value.
The offense today existed thanks to major Ranger errors. The first run scored on a wild pitch, the second on an error and the fourth and fifth on a failed "intentional walk". Its good to see the Mets winning with some timely hitting and aggressive baserunning, but at what point will the lack of any power create problems?
Jason Bay – 0 for 5 with an RBI and a strikeout. 51 K's in 187 AB's. Eek.
Daniel Murphy – 3 for 4 with two runs and an RBI. Also, caught stealing. Great to see Daniel put up some hits.
Ronny Paulino – 2 for 4 with two runs. He may not be hitting the lefties for power right now, but he is hitting them. Much more then can be said about..
Scott Hairston – 1 for 5 with a strikeout. Hairston only hit wasn't hit very hard. How much longer is he the acceptable fifth OF?
Turning Point
Mets second inning after Gee gave up two runs. It just gave Dillon confidence to know he wasn't going to have to win the game, he just couldn't give it away.
Game Ball
Jose Reyes – 4 for 5 with three runs, an RBI and an SB. Honestly, he slumps for three games and does this. If thats how long he will slump for, opponents will begin walking Jose.
On Deck
The Mets have off tomorrow, and then will face off against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday in Detroit. R.A. Dickey will toe the rubber against the Tigers Rick Porcello. Game Time is 7:05 P.M.

Dana U needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 150 designs submitted by 24 freelance designers.
I am a pro photographer, and I need a logo as distinctive as my images. I want to create an identity for my company, Dana's Eye Photography. It is important that the identity is both distinctive yet understated enough to not compete with the images I create.
I am a professional photographer and the owner of Dana's Eye Photography. I am looking for a logo that can be used in both a banner for my website, business cards and other collateral in the future. This logo will be the core identity of Dana's Eye and must, therefore, be distinctive, communicate the uniqueness of my images, AND be classy.
- Incorporation of an image/rendering of an image of me with a camera to my eye. The original photo can be found at http://www.flickr.com/photos/dunder…829409067/
- The words "dana's eye" and "photography" should be incorporated
- A simple, eye-catching logo
- A logo that can fit into multiple formats and on multiple peices of collateral. I may put this logo on everything from shirts to websites, and it should be transferable.
- I do like the color scheme that I have on my website's banner, but will definitely be open to evaluating new ones.
Most importantly, I do not want something that is too complicated or distracting from the actual photographs on my site. Please take a look at what is already present on my site at http://www.danaseye.com to see what the current site looks like.

syc-backup 0.0.7
Backup utility for database, folders and files
Backs up a MySQL database, folders and files to a default folder (~/backup) or to a specified folder. If the –cron switch is provided the specified database and files are not backed up rather a cron job of the provided command is added to crontab.
The application can be installed with
$ gem install syc-backup
Backup a database to the default folder _~/backup_
$ sycbackup -d database -uuser -ppass
Backup a MySQL database, a directory and files to the default folder
$ sycbackup -d database -uuser -ppass -f directory,file1,file2
Specify a backup folder
$ sycbackup backup/folder -d database -uuser -ppass -f directory,file1,file2
Override files in the backup folder if they exist
$ sycbackup backup/folder --override -f directory,file1,file2
Don't compress the backup
$ sycbackup --no-compress -f directory,file1,file2
Create a cron job that is scheduled every day at 2:30
$ sycbackup -d database -uuser -ppass -f directory,file1 --cron 30,2,*,*,*
If the user or password contains characters as '(' you have to escape them. A password like 123(56 has to be provided with pass"123(56".
Usage of –override and –no-compress
Whether the backup directory and the backup files are time stamped depends how –override and –no-compress is set. The results are shown in the table below.
--override --no-compress backup directory backup file(s)
0 0 w/o timestamp w/ timestamp
1 0 w/o timestamp w/ timestamp
0 1 w/ timestamp uncompressed
1 1 w/o timestamp uncompressed
Supported Platform
syc-backup has been tested with 1.9.3
The application backs up the MySQL database with mysqldump. The dumpfile has the form yyyymmdd-HHMMSS_databasename.sql. After the files are backed up the dumpfile will be deleted.
If the –no-compress is provided the files are copied to the backup folder. Otherwise they are compressed with _tar cfz YYYYmmdd-HHMMSS_syc-backup.tar.gz_.
If the –override switch is not provided the backup directory will be added a timestamp. So if you create a cron job you should every now and then delete obsolete backup folders.
The source contains lib/backup/file_backup.rb which is not used in the application.
The tests create folders and files and will be deleted after the tests finish. MySQLBackup needs to run a MySQL database with a database test and a user user with the password pass.
The test files live in the test folder and begin with test_.
There is a rake file available which can be used to run all tests with
$ rake test
- www.github.com/sugaryourcoffee/syc-backup
Source code on GitHub
- syc.dyndns.org/drupal/content/backup-drupal-database
Development notebook
- rubygems.org/gems/syc-backup

Wife of Alan Gross, American Jailed in Cuba, Fears for His Life
HAVANA – The wife of American Alan Gross is growing ever more fearful that her husband will not survive his imprisonment in Cuba.
Fresh off her latest visit to the Communist-run island, Judy Gross said Tuesday that her husband has developed a mass behind his right shoulder blade and is suffering from degenerative arthritis and other ailments.
The 63-year-old Maryland native, who was obese at the time of his arrest in December 2009, has lost 105 pounds while in custody and now appears gaunt in photos released from a Havana military hospital where he is being held.
"I am devastated by his appearance," Judy Gross wrote in the statement. "While his spirit remains strong, I fear he is not going to survive this terrible ordeal."
She begged Cuban President Raul Castro to "put an end to our anguish and let Alan come home."
There was no immediate reaction from Cuba's government to Judy Gross's plea.
Gross' lawyer, Jared Genser, told The Associated Press that Gross has formally petitioned Cuba's Supreme Court to be allowed to return home temporarily to visit his elderly mother, who is dying of cancer. Earlier this year, a U.S. judge granted a similar plea to Rene Gonzalez, a Cuban agent who is on parole in the United States but was allowed to visit his dying brother in Cuba before returning to the United States.
Genser has also filed a petition with the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. The body has no enforcement power, but a ruling in Gross's favor could add to international pressure on Havana in the case.
Genser said Cuba has 60 days to respond, and that the working group will next meet on Nov 14.
Gross was on a USAID-funded democracy building program when he was arrested at Havana's Jose Marti airport. He says he was only trying to provide Internet service to the island's small Jewish community.
Cuba says the multi-million dollar programs are a veiled attempt by Washington to undermine the government, and has noted that Gross was carrying sophisticated communications equipment.
He was sentenced to 15 years, and has lost his final appeal, leaving him out of legal options.
U.S. diplomats were initially hopeful Cuba would release Gross on humanitarian grounds. In addition to his health problems, his elderly mother and adult daughter are battling cancer, and his family has suffered financial hardship since his incarceration.
But officials in Havana have become increasingly insistent that Gross's plight be linked to that of five Cuban agents sentenced to long jail terms in the United States. Washington has said repeatedly it will not consider a trade.
The Cold War enemies have been at odds for more than half a century. A short-lived thaw following President Obama's inauguration has stalled and American diplomats say no progress in possible as long as Gross remains behind bars.

Private Creature Design Lessons (and you don't even have to leave your home)!
Hey everyone, Sorry it's been a while but I have been working on a portfolio style book for CTN with lots of new images and a few retouched oldies. It probably will be a softback with 20-30 pages (double sided of course)of images including sketchbook sketches as well as final color images. It will be out soon and I will share a few images that will be in the book as soon as I can. Please contact me if you are interest in buying one!

The potential for sweeping change among the region's political districts was brought into sharp focus Friday with the release of preliminary redistricting maps by the California Citizens Redistricting Commission.
Among the changes proposed in the first draft of redistricting:
Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Sherman Oaks) no longer would represent part of Burbank, while Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) might have to compete with Rep. David Dreier (R-San Dimas) in a realigned San Gabriel foothills district under the proposed new maps.
Burbank no longer would be split into two congressional districts and Glendale would share an Assembly representative with Pasadena under the legislative maps
The proposed maps also move the ground under Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Silver Lake) so that his home is no longer part of the district that includes Glendale and Burbank.
While La Cañada Flintridge and La Crescenta would be in the same congressional and state Senate districts as Glendale and Burbank, they would be in a different Assembly district — one that also includes Sierra Madre, Azusa and Upland.
Lawmakers affected by the proposals emphasized that the draft maps are not the final word.
"I'm not saying goodbye to anybody yet," Sherman said. "I think the maps are going to change massively."
Former Assemblyman Dario Frommer said the redrawn lines could prompt reactions ranging from lawmakers retiring or relocating, to lawsuits alleging that the new maps infringe on the voting rights of minorities.
"This is when the craziness is really going to start," Frommer said. "I think you are going to see a lot of movement and some retirements. There is also tremendous potential for litigation and that could upset the entire map."
According to the preliminary maps, Sherman and Howard Berman (D-Valley Village) would live in the same congressional district. Meanwhile, no incumbent lives in a new, heavily Latino congressional district that would include San Fernando, Tujunga, North Hollywood and Van Nuys.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) would represent all of Burbank, Glendale, La Crescenta and La Cañada Flintridge under the proposed map, as well as a string of communities along the Foothill (210) Freeway. But the new district would cut Pasadena, where Schiff has his district office, in half.
Schiff campaign aide Parke Skelton said Schiff has represented much of the area either in Congress or the state Senate, and that Democrats have a 43% to 31% edge over Republicans among registered voters in the proposed district.
"From a partisan and a policy standpoint, this is Adam's district," Skelton said.
Assemblyman Anthony Portantino (D-La Cañada Flintridge), who has started a campaign for Congress in anticipation of being termed out in 2012, might be forced to run to represent a district that does not include his La Cañada home.
"I am certainly not going to run against Adam Schiff," Portantino said. "I am continuing forward with my plan to run in David Dreier's district."
The proposed maps alter the area Dreier (R-San Dimas) represents so that it no longer would include La Cañada, but would include several San Gabriel Valley cities, such as El Monte. The area has a higher proportion of Democrats than Dreier's current district and might force the 16-term incumbent into a closely contested race.
The district represented by Sen. Carol Liu (D-La Cañada Flintridge) changed under the proposed map so that it now includes La Crescenta and foothill communities east to Upland. It no longer includes Chinatown or a narrow, nearly 20-mile stretch of the San Fernando Valley.
Liu said she has represented areas as far east as Duarte, but not beyond.
"It will be a challenge, but I'm kind of enthusiastic about that," she said. "It's just meeting new people, right?"
Gatto said he will await the final maps, but is prepared to move to continue serving the majority of the constituents he does today.
"I might face a choice between my house, which is just a structure, and most of the people I was elected to represent," Gatto said. "Generally, I'm a people person."
The 14-member redistricting commission, formed by voter initiative to take political districting out of the hands of lawmakers, has held 23 hearings around the state and heard from thousands of residents. It will launch a new round of hearings next week, including a June 16 meeting in Culver City and a June 17 hearing in Whittier.

With PWG releasing their El Generico 'best of' DVD, I am assuming that there will be more to come in 2013 (hopefully nowhere near as often as ROH seems to be popping them out).
This is pure fantasy talk, but if PWG were to release a new 'best of' DVD compilnation quarterly, what four 2 disk sets would you like to see for 2013?
1. Kevin Steen - Steen is probably the hottest property in the US indy scene and you can't have an El Generico DVD without putting out a Steen DVD. Steen has also has a good history with PWG, having disk one focus on his classic stuff and disk 2 on his new stuff, using his down time in PWG as a gap between the discs. It's a perfect fit of classic and new with an obvious break inbetween.
2. Super Dragon - One of the reasons many fans got in PWG back in the day; Super Dragon was one of the first wrestlers that came to mind when mentioning PWG. He is a classic and an all-star in the company, reaching something of an 'Undertaker' level within PWG. He has had a ton of great and iconic matches and will have no problem filling 2 disks full of quality content.
3. Guerrilla Warfare - These DVD's always sell like hotcakes and PWG had featured a ton of great GW matches over the years, this one really sells itself.
4. Young Bucks - PWG's breakout home-grown tag team, the Young Bucks have had a huge ammount of amazing matches and have been featured in TNA as a top tag team. An obvious choice being PWG grown and having a huge list of great matches, not to mention getting some mainstream attention, this would be a killer set for any fan of tag team wrestling, as you track the evolution of one of the most impressive tag teams of the modern era.

Maybe Corveguar or Corvetuguar...though those won't fit on a license plate...
Actually, yes (co-owned)...it just needs some work. It recently got the correct tranny, but now the driveshaft needs to be cut and fit. It hasn't been out for awhile, though that's a 327. The other co-owned vehicle, an impala, has another corvette block...the 283 (turbo-fire mouse motor, lol) which was used pretty early on in the 'vettes. Also, MY 'newer' impala has a 350 in it, that's just over 5.7L...which I believe is the engine you desire. I never really thought of it before, but all of those blocks have been used in 'vettes.

Morning folks. There were some interesting comments after I logged off last night. Let's get to some of them:
-Casey Blake is an excellent suggestion. The concept of a roving starter is unique and worthy of exploring. Why not have somebody start four or five games a week at a different position. You'd give everybody more time off. It's out-of-the-box thinking. But, even if you don't go that way, Blake would be good for this team.
-As far as bench players are concerned, I wouldn't be opposed to Rich Aurilia or Mark Loretta. It's an upgrade over what they have now.
-Rocco Baldelli is worth exploring. You might get him for less because of his injury history. But, the guy has skills. I saw him score from first on a muffed pop-up vs. Chicago. He can run. Put him in left and have Daniel Murphy at second and your line-up is set.
-Sure Pat Burrell would drive everybody crazy. He does in Philly. But, I still like him. In the end he'll hit 30 homers and drive in close to 100 runs. What's wrong with that? And, does it really matter if he's a career Phillie? The guy can go deep.
-Mark Prior is probably done. However, the Yankees did this with Jon Lieber and got some production. Sign him and stick him in rehab. If it works, great. If not, you haven't lost much because you'll do it for a minor league deal.
-You would have to look a Cruz and Marte. With what's in the pen, how can you not explore any option? Even Gagne's flat fastball is worth a look in spring training.
Look for this every morning. If you're going to post, I'll respond.

West Bay Wildlife Management Area is located in north-central Allen Parish near Elizabeth. State highways and parish roads leading to the area accompanied with timber company roads make West Bay very accessible. The majority of the area boundaries are as follows: south of Louisiana Highway 10, north of Louisiana Highway 26, east of Turner Road, and west of River Road.
West Bay is 56,000 acres in size and is entirely privately owned. The lease, which is obtained from timber companies and private individuals without charge to the State, gives the Department the right only to manage wildlife.
The terrain is generally flat. Approximately one-third of the area can be considered a baygall habitat and is poorly drained. The remaining area has fairly good drainage. The only major flowing stream is Mill Creek.
The forest cover is composed of pine plantations with scattered hardwoods along streambeds. There are some pine-hardwood stands located on the edge of the baygall areas. The most common hardwood species are water oak, white oak, red oak, willow oak, cow oak, blackgum, beech, hickory. Flowering dogwood, redbay, sweetleaf, and sweetgum are important overstory species found on the area.
The understory composition varies with the timber type. In the baygall portions, some of the more common and valuable species found are yaupon, rattan, arrowwood, smilax, and deciduous holly. The understory in the pine plantations is primarily blackberry, dewberry, huckleberry, smilax, and numerous annual legumes and grasses.
Game species hunted on the area are squirrel, rabbit, deer, dove, woodcock, and turkey. The area offers excellent bow hunting opportunities for deer. Furbearer trapping is allowed during trapping season.
Two primitive camping areas are maintained on the area. Self-clearing permits are required to access West Bay. Eight permit stations are located around the WMA. Additional information and maps may be obtained from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, 1213 North Lakeshore Drive, Lake Charles, Louisiana, 70601. Phone (337) 491-2575.
