Update: This giveaway has ended and the winner has been notified. I will update with her name after I hear back from her!
Several weeks ago, I was contacted by the folks at Osem about hosting a giveaway here on KOAB. As many of you know, I lived for several years in Israel and I'm a little sentimentally loyal to any food product that comes out of Israel — especially when it's got an Osem label on it.
Equally exciting for me was that Osem has been working with Alison Gutwaks from the gourmet kosher blog AliBabka to create some wonderful customized recipes using their Kosher for Passover products.
AliBabka's recipes are quick and easy – yet look and taste anything but. They let you get that "wow" factor without spending hours in your kitchen.
Recipes like Incredible Bissli Chicken Bites (my kids would go nuts for these!), Pecantastic Matzah Farfel, and chocolate-dipped Kosher for Passover Biscotti. Perhaps the one I'm most excited about, though, is this Passover Osem Mushroom Quiche — because you guys know I've got soft-spot for a good vegetarian Passover dish!
Passover Mushroom Quiche with Osem Potato Pancake Mix
Serves 6-8
- 1 – 6 oz. Box of OSEM Potato Pancake Mix
- 3 Portabella Mushrooms, sliced
- ½ Red Onion, sliced
- 1 Cup Milk
- Pinch of Salt and Pepper
- 1 Cup Gouda Cheese, shredded
- 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 5 Large Eggs, whisked
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Make potato pancake mix according to directions on the package. Let sit for 10 minutes.
3. Spray a springform pan or pie dish with non-stick cooking spray. Spread the potato pancake mix along the bottom and sides of the dish, making sure to fill in all spaces.
4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
5. In a bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients. Pour into the pie shell and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is bubbly, lightly golden brown and the the middle does not move.
6. Cool for 10 minutes and serve warm.
Would you like to win a big gift basket of Osem Kosher for Passover products worth $100, including:
- Osem Homestyle Potato Pancake Mix
- Osem Israeli Style Matzah Meal
- Osem Marble Cake
- Osem Chocolate & Coconut Cake
- Osem Orange-Flavored Chocolate Covered Matzah
- Osem Milk Chocolate Covered Matzah
- Osem Matzah
Here's how to enter the Osem Passover giveaway:
1. Leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite Passover dish. For example, "I love matzah ball soup!" This comment is required to be entered to win this giveaway.
For two additional entries, you may do one, both or none of the following:
2. Like the Osem USA Facebook page, then come back and leave a separate comment on this post telling me that you have done so. If you already like them, just leave a comment to that effect.
3. Follow KOAB's Passover Board on Pinterest, then come back and leave a separate comment on this post telling me that you have done so. If you already follow the Passover board, just leave a comment to that effect.
This giveaway is open only to residents of the United States who are 18 or older. Entries will be accepted until Sunday, April 6th at 11:59 p.m. CST. The winner will be selected randomly and notified by email immediately. He or she will have 48 hours to respond. Good luck!
Disclosure: I received compensation and complimentary products from Osem; Osem will also provide the winner of this contest with his or her prize package. I am disclosing this in accordance with FTC regulations. And also because I want you to know.
My opinions are my own and were not influenced by any form of compensation. Facebook, Twitter and Google+ are in no way associated with this giveaway. By providing your information in this form, you are providing your information to me and me alone. I do not share or sell information and will use any information only for the purpose of contacting the winner.

bada wrote:in theory that sounds great but I am not sure how you put that into place. Opens up a lot of gray area..
For example, I draft DeAngelo Williams... later there is a report that he got hurt in camp and an MRI would be done in a day or so. The injury could be minor or it could be serious.... what do we do? Do we halt the draft until we know? If not, whoever drafts next would be able to draft Jonathan Stewart.
I just think it creates more confusion and trouble. We just all go in knowing the dangers of this type of draft format.
Nah, it would only apply if the injury is season-ending. And confirmed. If not, it creates LOTS of problems, as you say.
Works as a safe clause against the worst injuries, but only in that case. If it's minor or the guy can play at some point, or even if there's no certainty of how long the guy will be out, you keep the guy and try to get a replacement, if needed, after the draft.

Just wanted you to know that I was pleasantly surprised with my "Go-Parts" experience. I rarely buy online, and now that I'm older, I rarely work on my car. Recently, though, I could hear the bearing going out on the radiator cooling fan on my 2006 PT Cruiser. I finally decided to fix it myself. I'm glad I did. After buying a repair manual, I could see the repair would be a bit challenging. The auto parts store at the corner was asking over $200 for the part, and I'm sure the dealer would be asking well over $350. Add in labor and all the other extras they would want to charge me for (drain and flush radiator, etc.) and I anticipated the dealer charging over $600. I needed the part soon--it was getting pretty noisy and decided to quit driving the car on Wednesday. I ordered the part on Thursday afternoon. FedEx delivered it on Saturday morning. Perfect! With delivery, the fan cost me just over $100 from Go-Parts. By Saturday evening, I was back on the road. The experience could not have been any better. Unfortunately, I didn't find the flyer about making a video until after I was done! Probably just as well--I had a lot to learn. (o: I'm glad you're interested in customer satisfaction. It is the key to a successful business. Best regards, Wes Keyson Orangevale, CA

We're taking a break form the Davis Cup ties to think about how the guys will fare at Indian Wells. Weather forecasts showing that day matches will be played in the low 80s and night matches'll dip down into the 50s. Brr. (Yes, CHILLY. Some of you might consider that a heat wave, but anything below 65 causes us to bundle up and set fire to anything that can keep us warm). Players also have to factor in some unpredictability in the form of gusty winds, which rattles even the steadiest of players. Here are our thoughts on the guys in the top 10 and some other notables:
Rafael Nadal: This will be the Spaniard's first test after that injury at the Aussie Open. This weekend's Davis Cup matches don't count since his toughest Belgian opponent will be Olivier Rochus. At Indian Wells, Rafa is Rafa but I predict that he'll lose to a top 20 player in the later rounds but make a better run — if not win — Miami.
Roger Federer: Other than Monfils at Bercy (3 tiebreak sets) and Murray in Shanghai and Toronto, the only guy who's been able to beat Roger in the past 6 months has been Novak Djokovic (and even so Nole is still down 3-4 since the beginning of 2010). But while these stats are in R-Fed's favor, consider this one that isn't: Roger hasn't taken Indian Wells since 2006. I predict that he'll extend that streak through 2011.
Novak Djokovic: His is probably the only case where winning a Davis Cup turned someone around. After Serbia took the 2010 title, Nole's been 12-0 (titles in Melbourne and Dubai). This BNP Paribas Open is his title to lose.
Robin Soderling: If anyone's had as good a year as Nole, it's Soderling who's 17-1 already capturing three titles in just as many months (Brisbane, Rotterdam, Marseille). That being said, the only success the Swedish Sod has had at Indian Wells was last year when he took out Murray and Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in route to losing to Andy Roddick in the semis. Depending on draws I think you can pencil him into the quarters or semis again.
Andy Murray: Oh Andy, Andy, Andy. You made it to the Aussie finals in rather convincing fashion and you've lost your last two matches in an even more convincing fashion. A lot of pundits think you have a slam in you, but I'm not one of them. We're putting our money on you making the quarters, none better. And if we're thinking up an early upset special (without seeing the draws), you'd be the main ingredient. That Australian Open loss is still in your head and will take a while to work itself out.
David Ferrer: Two titles in 2011 already? Do not collect $200 on your way to the semifinals.
Tomas Berdych: He's only had one good win on the year (d. Verdasco). We expect him to match his best IW performance — which was getting to the quarters last year.
Andy Roddick: He's got finalist points to defend here from last year (and that match against Ljubicic was his to lose). So far Andy's 12-2 on the year with losses only to Soderling and Wawrinka. He looked good in his win in Memphis (over Raonic) and his Indian Wells track record ain't bad: semis 4 of the last 6 years here (and quarterfinals 6 out of 8 here). Depending on how the draw plays out, Roddick's got a good chance to reach the semis but I think defending those finalist points will be a tall task.
Fernando Verdasco I let out a shriek of sadness when they dismantled FeVer's CK billboard on Sunset Blvd. (but now we have Rafa's Armani ad, so life is good!). With his best win of the year being over 49th-ranked Istomin, we're putting Fernando to fall in the Round of 32.
Jurgen Melzer: We see him doing just as good as his seeding. And after based on this past weekend's Davis Cup performance, maybe even earlier.
Nicolas Almagro:: Sadly, one can't leverage great clay court performances for a hard court title. We're putting down money for him to the get to the quarters. Maybe.
Juan Martin Del Potro: If any player can make some noise in this tournament it's Delpo (taking the reins from another persistent IW troublemaker, David Nalbandian). He impressed us with his play (even in his losses) during this early spring swing on the American hard courts. One concern: fatigue; this'll be his fifth tournament of the year. We're picking him to upset Roger or Rafa — if the draw pans out.
Mardy Fish: If he's healthy, we're expecting him to go deep. Remember: he took out three top-ten players (Roger, Kolya, and Nalbandian) before pushing Nole to three sets at this tournament in 2008.
Sam Querrey and John Isner: We got nothin'. Hoping Isner can shake off those Capdeville nightmares before his first round match.
Alexandr Dolgopolov: Even with wins over Soderling and Tsonga in Melbourne, we're wondering if Dolgopolov will adjust to the hard courts of Indian Wells after spending the last month on clay.
Milos Raonic: Ahh, that other young canadian making folks swoon south of the 49th. Let's hope taking a week off (for good reason) doesn't ruin your mojo coming in.
Kevin Anderson/Ivan Dodig/Tommy Robredo: We're wondering how to read the tea leaves for these guys, each of whom have bagged titles in 2011. Anderson's big-serving pony is getting boring. We're already waiting for what Wayne Ferreira's offspring will do for South African tennis. This will be Dodig's first time playing Indian Wells, so we're watching. And we mention Tommy a bit for nostalgia's sake. The top 20 just isn't the same without his consistency; he always lives up to his seeding — never loses before he should and never wins matches he shouldn't.

Pablo Sandoval's homer rescues Giants
Phoenix --
It comes from a Kanye West song, a rap that goes, "Clique, clique, clique, clique ..."
Hunter Pence knows the song. He hears it in the clubhouse. Before Pablo Sandoval batted in the ninth inning at Chase Field on Tuesday night with the Giants down 1-0, Pence approached Sandoval and said, "Feel that clique, clique, that good feeling."
"He just nodded and started singing the song - 'clique, clique, clique' - and he did it," Pence said. "He got into a zone and made it happen."
The sound off Sandoval's bat was more "kaboom" than "click." With Angel Pagan on second base and one out, J.J. Putz hung a splitter and Sandoval destroyed it, sending the ball soaring over the swimming pool in right-center field for a two-run homer that stood for a 2-1 victory against the Diamondbacks.
What a fitting end to a 15-12 April for the Giants, who seemed to come back in every game they trailed. With their heralded rotation oddly serving as a weak link, they trailed a lot.
They came back twice against Arizona in San Francisco last week with ninth-inning homers only to lose in extra innings. Sergio Romo made sure Tuesday's game ended after nine, buzzing through Arizona's three-through-five hitters for his 10th save.
"We lost some tough ones where we got some big hits, some big home runs in the losing streak, but we couldn't finish it off," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Tonight went our way. It took a big hit to win it, and that's what we got. It's good to get one like that."
Nobody should be surprised who did the getting.
Sandoval had two more hits and has 11 in his past 17 at-bats. That elbow discomfort that forced him out of Monday night's game was gone by the time he left the clubhouse. There was no doubt he would play Tuesday.
He had gone 37 at-bats without a homer, though, and had to calm himself at the plate, especially after Putz hung a splitter on the first pitch. Sandoval lurched and fouled it off. The next time, he stayed back and secured a series victory for the Giants in the wake of a five-game losing streak.
Pence might not have heard it, but Sandoval said he told the right fielder, "I'm going to clique one."
A called shot?
"Pretty much," said Sandoval, who flipped his bat high toward the Giants' dugout in celebration.
For the second consecutive night, a Giant earned his first big-league win. Sandy Rosario retired his only hitter in the eighth inning in relief of Santiago Casilla, who surrendered a Josh Wilson homer to start the inning and break a 0-0 tie.
Almost lost was another outstanding performance by Madison Bumgarner, who matched Trevor Cahill zero for zero over seven innings. Cahill started the ninth and allowed Pagan's leadoff single before Putz replaced him.
Bumgarner was a rose among thorns in April, ending the month ranked second in the National League with a 1.55 ERA. The other four starters together were at 5.02. And yet the Giants got enough big hits and pitches to be three games over .500.
"That's what you've got to do to win," Bumgarner said. "We've got a good team. It seems like we've struggled and had a hard time, and we've still pulled off some wins. It was a pretty decent month."
Though Bumgarner said he expects the Giants to run off big winning streaks in 2013, "more times it will be like this. As long as we keep fighting and get wins out of it, that's all you can ask for."

SUZUKA, Japan (Reuters) - Nico Rosberg criticized Sergio Perez's driving after a clash with McLaren's Mexican driver on the track at Sunday's Japanese Grand Prix following a near-miss in the pitlane.
The German, in the Mercedes, was angered by Perez's defensive tactics when he tried to overtake the Mexican for eighth place.
The two cars made contact, with the McLaren picking up a puncture and falling back down the field. Rosberg finished eighth, Perez 15th.
"It's not good what he's doing, we know he has issues," Rosberg told reporters. "If you move once to block you have to move out of the way, the rules are clear.
"It was very good he punctured his tire and then it was just onward from there."
Perez is in his first season at McLaren, after impressing with Sauber in 2012, and is fighting to keep his place with the team taking their time to confirm their lineup and looking at other options.
"I had such bad luck," the Mexican said. "Things just didn't go our way today. In fact, I think you could say that everything that could go wrong did go wrong."
He and Rosberg almost collided in the pit lane earlier when Mercedes released the German into the path of the McLaren, with Rosberg collecting a drive-through penalty as a result, at the first pitstop.
"We're normally a pretty reliable team in the pits and I don't fully understand what happened yet but we will investigate and take any necessary actions," principal Ross Brawn said.

Thinking Evolutionarily: Evolution Education Across the Life Sciences
On October 25-26, 2011, the National Research Council's Board on Life Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences will hold a convocation at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, DC that will launch a national initiative to infuse evolutionary science into introductory college courses in the life sciences and upper-level biology courses in high schools across the United States. The convocation will feature invited speakers and panelists, and participant discussion sessions.
This event will enable educational leaders, members of professional scientific societies, and members of other scientific and science education organizations to develop a strategic plan that will develop a national database of resources from disciplines across the life sciences to help faculty make evolutionary science a central focus of introductory biology survey courses and other courses across the life sciences curriculum.
April 5-14, 2010

'Star Wars Episode 7′ — Lawrence Kasdan Wants to "Start Fresh"
There was much fanboy rejoicing when is was learned that Lawrence Kasdan was on board to write a new 'Star Wars' spin-off movie and consult on 'Star Wars Episode 7.' After all, this is the man who wrote 'The Empire Strikes Back,' a movie that isn't just the best 'Star Wars' movie, but one of the best science fiction movies ever made. Although the full details of whatever Kasdan is working on (a Yoda movie? Young Han Solo?) are buried in an underground bunker somewhere, he recently spoke about his involvement in the new films.
The LA Times caught up with the prolific Kasdan (who also wrote classics like 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'Body Heat') and got him to share his basic vision for his top secret project. His words should be music to the ears of 'Star Wars' fans everywhere:
"I'm trying to start fresh...There are certain pleasures that we think the saga can bring to people that they've been missing, and we're hoping to bring them that, and at the same time, have them feel that it's all new."
That sounds like a not-so-quiet acknowledgment that the prequel trilogy was lacking and that everyone is aware of it. Knowing what didn't work in episodes one, two and three is just as important as knowing what worked in the original trilogy if the new films are going to be up to par. Still, Kasdan mentions that it was 'Star Wars' creator and figure of great geek controversy George Lucas who initially brought him on board the new films:
"George sort of brought me into this part of it, and he's stepping back from the company...He's sort of given his blessing to everybody, and he'll be there if you need him. I think everyone's interested to see where this can go. It's been some very different places over 30 years...I think with J.J., we'll get something entirely new."
Finally, Kasdan got into the nitty gritty of why the first three 'Star Wars' films are so beloved and why 'The Empire Strikes Back' is valued above all others. It really feels like his corner of the future 'Star Wars' universe is in good hands:
"The ones I worked on were a long time ago, and they had a slightly different feeling than the ones that followed...The first three, 'Star Wars,' 'Empire' and 'Return of the Jedi' are all sort of more about people than the ones that followed. 'Empire' appeals to people, I think, because it's the second act of a three-act play, and everything sort of goes to hell during the movie. And when you leave, everyone is in trouble, and that is the best part of the story to write. And people responded to it. Irvin Kershner was a completely different kind of director than George, so the movie's much darker than the first 'Star Wars.' It's more edgy."

100 years of state health services in Scotland
What can we learn from the origins of the Highlands and Islands Medical Service, and how could it help to develop the future of rural and remote health services in Scotland and all around the world? Dr Annie Tindley, senior lecturer in history at Glasgow Caledonian University and part of a group commemorating the centenary of the 'Dewar model', explains.
In 1912, Sir John Dewar (1856-1929), MP for Inverness-shire and scion of the whisky manufacturing family, chaired a royal commission. It had been appointed to inquire into health and medical services provision in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. The key outcome of this commission was the creation of the Highlands and Islands Medical Service, one of the first services in the world to establish the principle of a community's right to healthcare provision with funding from the state. It was a successful model and became an exemplar for healthcare provision well in advance of the design and introduction of the National Health Service in 1948. It was also applied in other countries, with areas as diverse as Newfoundland and the Australian outback adopting the 'Dewar model' in the twentieth century.
Supported by a Wellcome Trust People Award, a group of practising rural GPs, historians, archivists and museums have been working for the past year to commemorate the Dewar Commission and the Highlands and Islands Medical Service. We have organised talks, conferences, a touring exhibition, media coverage and, crucially, have worked with policy-makers and politicians. One of the key aims of the Dewar Centenary group is to mobilise political opinion in Scotland for a 'Dewar 2012': a consultation on and re-design of contemporary remote and rural health services for the next one hundred years. The Dewar Group is very keen to highlight the fact that the Dewar model can be applied in any remote and rural context, not just the Scottish Highlands and Islands, but elsewhere in the UK and further afield.
Using social media such as Twitter as well as traditional print media, the Dewar group promoted the Dewar model to Highlands and Islands MSPs, a process which culminated in a Scottish Parliamentary debate in May 2012. The Deputy First minister and then Cabinet Secretary for Health, Nicola Sturgeon, spoke at this debate and has been supportive of the Group's agenda. We have been working since then to maintain this political momentum with conferences, seminars and media work, and were rewarded when Sturgeon's successor in the health brief, Alex Neil MSP, announced last week that a review of remote and rural medical services will take place. The Dewar Group will support this process by hosting a policy workshop in Inverness in early 2013, to promote an open, constructive discussion on what can be emotive topics for professionals, politicians and the communities they serve.
In keeping with the principles of the original Dewar Commission, we have worked hard to build community support and awareness of the project, in order to highlight the importance of historical lessons in contemporary policy. An exhibition, created with the Highland Archive Service, is touring the region over the next year, supported with numerous papers to local history societies, museums and festivals. Community and heritage partnerships and collaboration have been key to this project, as they are to the future of health service design. Here's to the next one hundred years!

BUY PERIACTIN OVER THE COUNTER, It took Jeff Peterson a long time, but he's finally found a new place to play.

The CCM (Caked Crusader's Ma) is a canny old bird. She just happened to buy two lemons for pancake day in case she made pancakes. Of course, she didn't make pancakes and was lamenting the redundancy of the lemons. Subtext: make me a cake with lemon in it.
Luckily, I have been musing about lemon cupcakes for a while. Regular readers will know that I don't like lemon but I can see that it's perfect for cupcakes – I see cupcakes as the equivalent of a shot in the drink world; a cupcake is a little bit of good stuff. Lemon packs quite a flavour so fits into that concept.
I adapted my normal cupcake recipe and decided to include half the lemon juice in the cupcake and half brushed over the top. This keeps the lemon 'punchy' and the cupcake extremely moist.
You'll notice from the ingredients that I didn't use lemon juice in the buttercream. I may be completely wrong but I felt that it didn't suit the light whipped texture and was scared the lemon juice might curdle the mix.
Lemon is a clean and crisp flavour so I wanted the look of these cupcakes to match that i.e. no sprinkles and a round piping nozzle.
125g unsalted butter, at room temperature
125g caster sugar
2 eggs
125g self raising flour
Juice and rind of one lemon
Dash of milk, if necessary
For the Swiss meringue buttercream:
4 egg whites
250g caster sugar
250g unsalted butter
2 teaspoons lemon extract
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.
- Line a muffin pan with 12 paper cases.
- Start by making the cupcakes. Beat together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs, flour, lemon rind and half the lemon juice.
- If necessary (this will depend on the juiciness of your lemon), add a dash of milk and beat until well combined and smooth. You're aiming for a nice light, almost dropping consistency batter.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the 12 paper cases.
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Mine took 17 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and, straight away, brush the remaining lemon juice over the hot cupcakes.
- Leave to cool on a wire rack.
- Now make the swiss meringue buttercream. Place the egg whites and sugar in a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Stir pretty much constantly to prevent the egg from cooking.
- After 5-10 minutes, when the sugar has dissolved, remove the bowl from the pan of simmering water and whisk until the meringue has puffed up and the mix is cool.
- Add the butter and lemon extract to the meringue and whisk until the butter has been completely incorporated into the meringue. At first it will look a disaster – it will collapse and look curdled but don't worry! Stop when the mixture is smooth, light and fluffy.
- Spoon the buttercream into a piping bag and swirl onto each cupcake.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

There a few things that still get me geeked about manga, and one thing is learning about new publishing ventures, especially one aimed at a mature audience. Robert McGuire, Editor-in-Chief of GEN Manga Entertainment, dropped by the virtual offices to answer some questions that I had about the new manga magazine GEN.
[Manga Maniac Café] Can you tell us a little about your company?
[Robert McGuire] GEN is a monthly magazine featuring new seinen and doujinshi manga. We publish it simultaneously in America and Japan digitally. We offer limited addition printed copies as well. We aren't a traditional publisher that buys rights to already existing titles. We find Japanese underground artists to create original manga for Americans. We translate the work as it is created and publish for our readers first.
[MMC] Historically, magazines have struggled in this market. Why did you decide to produce one?
[RM] I think all books and magazines struggle at first unless, of course, they are backed by huge corporate funding. I decided to publish because I love manga. I feel many of my peers who grew up reading manga want to continue reading, but the traditional market isn't keeping up with their demand. It's a smaller and more digital world now than it was 10 years ago. Readers don't want to wait for manga they know is already out in Japan.
[MMC] How are you going to ensure that GEN remains on the cutting edge of manga?
[RM] We hope to let the readers tell us what the cutting edge will be. The stories we offer are made by doujinshi circles in Japan. So it doesn't get much more raw than that. If the readers gravitate towards certain story lines or want to see something else, we welcome feedback. We have a direct line to doujinshi in Japan so we will continue to introduce new stories. But it is up to the readers to help support independents like us. Otherwise we fall back into reading titles that are decided by large marketing board meetings and publishers trying to tell you, the reader, what you should read. We don't believe in that and as long as we can stay afloat we will try to give the new uncut stuff.
[MMC] Was it difficult finding titles with strong market appeal for your magazine?
[RM] We are trying to tap into an under developed market. So we really have little to base our titles on.That is to say, it seems that a certain market in the US has been pretty under represented, the adult market. Many traditional publishers seem to think that comics should follow certain patterns and aren't willing to take chances on less than proven material. We are. So I hope the readers out there will help support our adventurous endeavor. And, I hope I can continue to give readers what they are looking for while helping make new mangaka known in the US.
[MMC]What are some of the biggest challenges you have overcome while working on the magazine?
[RM] Technology. I am more of an editorial person. So my tech knowledge needs improvement. We are developing an online version right now that will be readable on all devices. We try to keep things simple. But it's a constant challenge to meet the demands of a digitally connected world.
[MMC] Why did you decide to publish more mature titles, instead of shounen titles, which seem to have a broader market appeal?
[RM] The shounen market is flooded with titles. It's hard to add anything that isn't already out there. Besides, readers who first started reading manga ten years ago are now growing up. They may want to start moving to titles geared more to their age range.
[MMC] How has the early reception been for GEN?
So far so good. People are really enthusiastic. Everyone really loves the idea and after reading an issue they can't wait for the next. So I am pretty positive about it.
[MMC] What did you enjoy most about getting the first issue ready for release?
Working with the creators in Japan. It's their work that makes everything possible. So I get to read and see a lot of new ideas. That's always a lot of fun.
[MMC] Thanks so much for answering my questions!

The Life of Champion Hightower Cox
September 4, 2009 at 1:20 am 3 comments
Written by Special Guest Author, Dr. Larry Cox
Richard Hightower Cox was born on June 9, 1843 in Franklin County, Alabama. He was the fourth child born to Pleasant G. Alfred Cox and Hepsey Ann Thorn Cox. Richard had two brothers and four sisters.
Hepsey's family had lived in the old Alabama town of Old Burleson for many years. This area is where Richard and the rest of his siblings grew up. Her father, Dr. Charnel Thorn, lived there and most likely delivered Champion himself. Old Burleson is now a very rural place, but in the time of Champion's birth, it was a thriving small town. There were many houses and businesses located there. Old Burleson is located just north of Vina, Alabama and just east of Red Bay, Alabama. The northern border of Marion County is only a short distance to the south of Richard's birthplace. This is important because Marion County plays an important role in the home places of the Cox family.
No one knows where and when Richard acquired the name of Champion. However, in a study of census records, there is evidence that Richard acquired the name of Champion before his seventh birthday. In adult life, he always favored his nickname.
Champion had one older sister, Elizabeth H. Cox, and two older brothers, James Madison Cox and William Renard Cox. He also had three younger sisters. There were Nancy Rebecca Cox, Mary Jane Cox and Hepsey BeAnna Cox.
On August 14, 1852 tragedy struck the Cox family. Nancy Rebecca Cox was shot and killed. She was only eight years old at her death, Champion was only nine. Her death had serious impacts on the lives of the whole Cox family. Years later during the civil war, her brother William Renard Cox wrote back to his mother that if he was to die in battle, he wanted to be brought back to Franklin County and buried next to Nancy. She was most certainly an innocent bystander and was not the intended victim. We can only imagine the pain that this family endured upon watching little Nancy die.
It is believed that this incident ripped the family apart or that actions following the incident did, because shortly after that Pleasant, Champion and William migrated into Mississippi. Later, Pleasant and Champion moved to Arkansas. This was just before the Civil War.
We must keep in mind that there were no psychiatrists or psychologists to counsel with the family about the death of Nancy. This kind of trauma untreated could have devastating effects on the course of the lives of all involved…especially the children. However painful it was, Champion found it inside himself to survive.
There is not an account of the Cox family seeking revenge on Nancy's killer. It very well could have been that they did exact revenge for the murder and then they had to leave the country to avoid the law and prosecution. It also could have been so traumatic for Hepsey and Pleasant that they could not bear to live together any longer.
The earliest letter that we have from Mississippi to Hepsey and the family that was left behind is one from Champion and Pleasant on January 27, 1857. This of course would be only five years after Nancy's death. Champion would have been only fourteen years old at the time of this letter. His spelling and penmanship are to be admired considering the lack of the education in Franklin County in that time period.
On December 16, 1860, Champion wrote a letter to his mother from Merry Green, Arkansas. Marry Green is a township in Saline County. This letter was written just before Champion registered to fight for the Confederate Soldiers of America (CSA).
Champion rarely used his birth name of Richard. He signed all of his letters sent back home and all the documents in his military service as Champion. Many times he also signed his name to letters as C. H. Cox. This may be the reason that in so much of the information in the histories of the Civil war, he is named as Champion H. Cox or as just C. H. Cox.
Dr. Larry Cox is the second great grandson of Champion Cox. His ancestry is Larry, Royce Benjamin, Preston Arthur, William Renard "Wren" and Richard Hightower "Champion" Cox. He organized a Cox Reunion where Champion Cox's descendants met and honored this Civil War patriot and the impact he had on his family and their lives. This article is part of a series that was read at Champion's memorial.

I had a friend in El Dorado, Arkansas, named Billy Cox. He was born around 1943-1945 and graduated in my class of 1963. His dad was known as C. H. Cox, but his real name was Champion Hightower Cox. We are having a 50th high school reunion this summer, and I cannot locate Billy and not knowing him by any name but Billy, do not know how to search for him. Do you happen to know someone in the family who could help me? Thanks!
Billy Cox was my dad, and C.h. Cox was my grandfather
Thank yoq for sharing this fantastic article! Don't have my genealogy research with me, but from memory we are related to William Hargrove Thorn, and Caleb Cox! I'll get back with you!

Above: Students perform in Twelfth Night. Click the photo to view photos from Twelfth Night and Illyria.
Conservatory of Performing Arts theatre students had the unique opportunity to perform both classic and contemporary Shakespearean works back to back during the fall 2011 semester.
The Conservatory Theatre Company presented Illyria, the musical based on Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, by Peter Mills and Cara Reichel, and Shakespeare's classic comedy, Twelfth Night.
Illyria gave students, staff and faculty a chance to work on a modern twist of a classic tale.
"I love Shakespeare, so the fact that Illyria is an adaptation is very attractive to me," said director Scott Wise, an assistant professor in the theatre department. "I think Peter Mills' score is terrific. I am generally interested in projects that are open to creative design. I like the mix of Elizabethan and contemporary language."
Senior B.F.A. theatre major Jaron Frand, who plays Sebastian, said, "Illyria is a fairly new musical that has not been produced too many times. So for us, it's like we're creating a whole new piece ... developing a new work. We essentially have the opportunity to create our own world of characters, based on Shakespeare's original text. As an actor, I got the chance to create something new while learning about something so traditional."
Twelfth Night has given the students the opportunity to perform Shakespeare but with a twist — the Conservatory Theatre production is set in the 1920's in the Hamptons.
Kelsey Boze, a member of the ensemble, said, "I definitely have a better understanding of Shakespeare and his language after doing this show. Especially since Bridget Connors (director of the show and professor in the theatre department) is the Shakespeare queen! Her voice and speech, and text work has made me view Shakespeare in an entirely different way. It is a language of its own and there are so many levels within it. But through rehearsals, we explored the text and now it isn't an obstacle anymore, it's a tool."

text: One Positive Spin About the Cool Spring May 13, 2013 02:05 AM Tweet Lower and/or drier air temperatures tend to reduce the number of thunderstorms. © Source: Accuweather.com TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ben Potter AgWeb Social Media and Innovation Editor Email With all the talk about last summer's drought, most people may not have realized that another weather anomaly was also in play. Namely, the lack of moisture in the Plains and the Midwest suppressed tornado activity significantly. And Accuweather.com is reporting the cool spring weather might continue to suppress the number of tornadoes for 2013. Current findings show that only 197 tornadoes of EF1 strength or greater occurred from May 2012 to April 2013. The year-to-date tornado count is currently less than half of the 8-year average. "Since 1954, the previous low 12-month period was from June 1991 to May 1992, when 247 tornadoes with EF1 strength or greater occurred," says NOAA research meteorologist Harold Brooks. One culprit may be the large storms emerging from the Rockies, which create a wedge of cool air that forces the base of the clouds much higher off the ground. The result not only limits tornado formation but also limits damaging wind gusts because the primary action is happening several thousand feet in the air. Unfortunately, the pattern can still produce storms with hail. As spring temperatures continue to climb, Accuweather predicts a general uptick in the number of thunderstorms, severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. But the incidence of these events should remain "well behind the curve" of the average. Weather watchers aren't only looking at the number of tornadoes expected, but also where they might occur. Randy Mertens, a climate expert at the University of Missouri, says that higher sea temperatures in the central Pacific Ocean will shift the jet stream pattern eastward over Tennessee, Kentucky, eastern Missouri, Illinois and Indiana. That means that this year's "Tornado Alley" is well eastward of where it normally lies. Back to news

I'm a Catholic, but I'll admit it (or should I say "confess" it?): When Pope Benedict XVI announced his pending resignation, my first thought wasn't religious. It was in fact downright superficial. "There goes the best-dressed pontiff ever!"
During his nearly eight years on the throne of St. Peter, Benedict has always looked absolutely perfect, sartorially speaking, whether garbed in elaborate vestments for an Easter liturgy or clad in the simple but meticulously tailored white caped cassock (it's called a "simar" in church lingo) that he wears on more ordinary occasions. He's been the Duke of Windsor of popes.
My own fashion sense is nearly nonexistent, but that only makes me more appreciative of Benedict's. Some highlights: Benedict saying Mass in 2008 at Washington's Nationals Park stadium in a billowing scarlet satin chasuble (a priest's outermost liturgical garment) trimmed with crimson velvet and delicate gold piping. Benedict greeting worshipers in Rome, his chasuble this time woven of emerald-green watered silk with a pattern of golden stars. Benedict on Oct. 21 canonizing Kateri Tekakwitha, the first Native American saint, while attired in a fanon, a gold-and-white striped shoulder covering, dating to the 8th century, that only popes may wear.
