Just because GRACE was a sponsor of Food + Tech Connect's Farm Bill Hackathon didn't mean that we couldn't participate in the collaborative event, but after twelve rigorous hours, I certainly didn't expect the project I worked on to be judged the best of several inspiring efforts.
By 8:30 am on Dec. 4, 2011, my colleagues Destin Joy Layne and Chris Hunt and I were being fair-trade, artisanal-ly caffeinated at the airy Cookstr workspace, while being introduced to the day's format by Food+Tech Connect's tireless Danielle Gould and Beth Hoffman and our co-hosts at Gojee.
Easy enough to put your head around the schedule: each attendee would pick from one of 12 previously submitted ideas for how to visualize a particular aspect of the Farm Bill. Then we'd assemble with others who chose the same topic, and begin to strategize how we would - by day's end - turn a question or some data into an online application, widget, tool, graphic or something else that would effectively communicate about the farm bill. And then came the hard part: figuring out how to collaborate with five people who'd never met: a media company CEO, a graphic designer, a doctoral student, a Google developer and myself, creative lead for food programs at GRACE.
The topic we latched on to? Environmental Working Group and Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future (CLF) had proposed "Major Imbalance and Misplaced Priorities in National Farm Bill Spending: Commodity Crops (and Meats) Vs Fruits, Nuts and Vegetables."
The bill is one of the defining governmental policies of our lives, affecting not only Americans, but the global population.
Kari Hamerschlag (and the EWG team) and Rebecca Klein (and CLF) had distilled some impressive (and outrageous) facts: only 1% of US children are getting their recommended allowance of fruits, nuts and vegetables; if we shifted just 10% of the funding out of the commodity subsidies into fruit and vegetable procurement programs, we could pay for doubling fruits and veggies in the entire national school lunch program and meet the new USDA proposed school lunch guidelines for fruit and vegetables. Important stuff! And we wouldn't settle for a dry snoozer of a white paper at the end of the day - one of the key reasons for the hackathon was that the very mention of the farm bill tends to put a glaze on the face of anyone in earshot. But the bill is one of the defining governmental policies of our lives, affecting not only Americans, but the global population. CLF's in-depth Farm Bill Budget Visualizer rewards a patient reader with a deep well of info about the bill's allocated spending, but it's not short attention span communication; it's an interactive presentation of exhaustive research data.
I hope you'll check out Food + Tech Connect's detailed descriptions of the other groups and their efforts. But to give you an idea: other teams assembled to take on corporate control of the 'grocery meat case' and the consolidation's impact on farmers' share of the consumer food dollar (proposed by F&WW and us at GRACE; GRACE also proposed to leverage the growing number of people interested in Meatless Mondays through a crowdsourcing project, which came in second place). The Glynwood Institute for Sustainable Food and Farming proposed a visualization of how much government money is available for new farmers. Another team worked on how to connect agricultural consolidation to food miles. Still another worked (with Oxfam), asked how the farm bill contributes to poverty and helps drive global food insecurity (and earned the third-place prize). A visualizer was suggested to expose hunger in America; a mobile app about cider production; a visual showing how to track one's influence on the bill, and finally, a tool to open up a credit tab with a local farm (which took fourth place).
Heady stuff.
The team I was collaborating with, undaunted by complex factoids, decided to take a familiar path by developing a narrative - in of all technical platforms - Powerpoint. Even as we recognized Powerpoint may not be perceived as 'cutting edge technology', we decided this was the best technical platform to present what we wanted to convey - and to maximize easy access to educators and other concerned citizens. (We are now developing a version in the animated online presentation platform Prezi and as an infographic poster). We all combed the facts, with Illya Bomash and Henry Lau researching how we might support arguments. Trey Shelton and I developed a narrative, while Peter Krohmer and I sketched and designed to give the piece a desirable look and feel. With onsite support from CLF's Rebecca Klein and offsite input of Kari Hamerschlag of EWG, we hammered away on our piece right up until it was time to present to the judges, balancing facts and figures and illustrating why they matter.
I don't think any of us imagined that the judges (Ashley Tyson of Food Republic, Sara Farmer, of UN Global Pulse, Danielle Gould of Food+Tech Connect and Michael LaValle of Gojee) would vote our work, 'Clean BILL of Health' as the best of the all the fine projects. And to have Marion Nestle describe our work as "the terrific winning entry" was surprising, too - and gratifying).
Destin Layne, our director of food programs at GRACE described the day eloquently:
It was thrilling to experience a new convergence in food consciousness among a variety of constituencies, both through live and viral collaboration; and moreover, many participants unfamiliar with the pressing issues of sustainable and industrial agriculture used this event, and the expert presentations, to start to uncover the hidden truth of our conventional food system.
But the farm bill needs you . Your turn for some 'hacking.' Pick your favorite farm bill hack and post it on your Facebook page, blog or send some links to a news outlet...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disorder that leads to abdominal pain and bowel changes.
IBS is not the same as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Alternative Names
Spastic colon; Irritable colon; Mucous colitis; Spastic colitis
The reasons why IBS develop are not clear. It can occur after an infection of the intestines. This is called postinfectious IBS. There may also be other triggers.
The intestine is connected to the brain. Signals go back and forth between the bowel and brain. These signals affect bowel function and symptoms. The nerves can become more active during stress. This can cause the intestines to be more sensitive and contract more.
IBS can occur at any age. Often, it begins in the teen years or early adulthood. It is twice as common in women as in men.
About 1 in 6 people in the U.S. have symptoms of IBS. It is the most common intestinal problem that causes patients to be referred to a bowel specialist (gastroenterologist).
IBS symptoms vary from person to person and range from mild to severe. Most people have mild symptoms. You are said to have IBS when symptoms are present for at least 3 days a month for a period of 3 months or more.
The main symptoms include:
- Abdominal pain
- Gas
- Fullness
- Bloating
Pain and other symptoms will often be reduced or go away after a bowel movement. Symptoms may flare up when there is a change in the frequency of your bowel movements.
People with IBS may go back and forth between having constipation and diarrhea or have or mostly have one or the other.
- If you have IBS with diarrhea, you will have frequent, loose, watery stools. You may have an urgent need to have a bowel movement, which may be hard to control.
- If you have IBS which constipation, you will have a hard time passing stool, as well as fewer bowel movements. You may need to strain with a bowel movement and have cramps. Often, only a small amount or no stool at all will be passed.
The symptoms may get worse for a few weeks or a month, and then decrease for a while. In other cases, symptoms are present most of the time.
You may also lose your appetite if you have IBS. < /p>
Exams and Tests
There is no test to diagnose IBS. most of the time, your doctor can diagnose IBS based on your symptoms. Eating a lactose-free diet for 2 weeks may help the doctor identify
The following tests may be done to rule out other problems:
- Blood tests to see if you have celiac disease or a low blood count (
- Stool cultures to check for an infection
Your doctor may recommend a
- Symptoms began later in life (over age 50)
- You have symptoms such as weight loss or bloody stools
- You have abnormal blood tests (such as a low blood count)
Other disorders that can cause similar symptoms include:
- Celiac disease
Colon cancer(cancer rarely causes typical IBS symptoms, unless symptoms such as weight loss, blood in the stools, or abnormal blood tests are also present) Crohn's diseaseor ulcerative colitis
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms.
Dietary changes can be helpful. However, no specific diet can be recommended for IBS, because the condition differs from one person to another.
The following changes may help:
- Avoiding foods and drinks that stimulate the intestines (such as caffeine, tea, or colas)
- Eating smaller meals
- Increasing fiber in the diet (this may improve constipation, but make bloating worse)
Talk with your doctor before taking over-the-counter medications.
No one medicine works for everyone. Some that your doctor may suggest include:
- Anticholinergic medications (dicyclomine, propantheline, belladonna, and hyoscyamine) taken about a half-hour before eating to control intestinal muscle spasms
- Bisacodyl to treat constipation
- Loperamide to treat diarrhea
- Low doses of tricyclic antidepressants to help relieve intestinal pain
- Lubiprostone for constipation symptoms
- Rifaximin, an antibiotic
Psychological therapy or medicines for anxiety or depression may help with the problem.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Irritable bowel syndrome may be a lifelong condition. For some people, symptoms are disabling and interfere with reduce work, travel, and social activities.
Symptoms often get better with treatment.
IBS does not cause permanent harm to the intestines. Also, it does not lead to a serious disease, such as cancer.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome or if you notice changes in your bowel habits that do not go away.

Bryan Ferry Frantic; Hybrid Multichannel SACD Virgin 7243 8121382 7:
This new release from Bryan Ferry is filled with a combination of catchy tunes mixed with Ferry's distinctive vocal styling. Sound quality is good, but not outstanding, and by no means representative of what SACD can do. It is still better in some ways in comparison with a conventional CD, however. The song list includes a mix of a few Ferry collaborations as well as a few cover tunes. "Nobody Loves Me" is a very catchy song, and could possibly be a hit. "A Fool For Love" is a rock song with a little bit of hook, a good beat, and nice guitar and harmonica work blended nicely with Bryan's vocals. Some of the songs, like "San Simeon," have an eerie quality, and others are softer tunes like Dylan's "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right"-an excellent track. The album is a little uneven, but Ferry fans won't be disappointed unless they were expecting to break new ground. The songs that are either co-written or produced by Dave Stewart are definitely more mainstream, and will appeal to more listeners. I don't believe there will be many new Ferry fans made with this disc, but it is sure to covert a few. Songs included are: It's All Over Now, Baby Blue, Cruel, Goin' Down, Goddess Of Love, Don't Think Twice, It's All Right, Nobody Loves Me, Ja Nun Hons Pris, A Fool For Love, Goodnight Irene, Hiroshima, San Simeon, One Way Love, I Thought.

Ambience - Bird Song, by Chip Davis - American Gramaphone DVD-A & V AG9201-7:
Ambience - Summer Song, by Chip Davis - American Gramaphone DVD-A & V AG9203-7:
Don't know quite what to report about these two DVD-As. As with the other discs from the Mannheim Steamroller record label, you get a lot of extras: Each disc has both a video and audio side, and the videos are high quality motion throughout, with a choice of DD two channel or 5.1-channel sound or DTS 5.1, plus each package comes with a second standard single-sided CD version of the same stereo audio program at 44.1 - designed for in-car or portable use when you're not in your home theater or SSfM listening room. But on the other hand, what you get with these two albums is really a lot of very little content. There are nature sounds very well recorded in discrete 5.1 surround - mostly birds (didn't fool my cats though) and water sounds - and about half of the time they are overlaid with New Age music, some of which is quite nice and some of which was to me quite annoying. There are plenty of New Age CDs which mix nature sounds and music, so this is nothing new.
The video side has pleasant long shots of birds, water, trees, or whatever is appropriate to the nature sounds, but the lower resolution of these subtle sounds is noticeable vs. those on the DVD A sides. The Summer Song disc identifies seven tracks, with such expected New Age designations as Raindance, Teardrops-Raindrops, etc. The Bird Song one doesn't bother with this. But there are some highly intrusive sound effects that come in towards the end of both discs - a thunderstorm, vehicles and an extremely loud airplane that sounds like it's buzzing your nature-based reverie. And since they're so realistically recorded - especially on the DVD-A sides, these loud sounds are doubly disturbing. One wonders what in the world Davis was thinking. Purchase Here

Home Theater Demo featuring Mannheim Steamroller - American Gramaphone DVD-A & V AG 9624-7:
Another addition to my stack of home theater demos - starting with laserdiscs and now of course we have DVD-A to add to the mix. This one has some unique twists to it and might appeal to newcomers to the whole HT concept, much as the Sound & Vision demo DVD reviewed here last month. Producer/musician Chip Davis's special approach to 5.1 surround sound is described, beginning with all the basics that the beginner should be aware of. The audio setup on the video side allows choosing Dolby Digital 5.1 or stereo or DTS. The several features include the liner notes, list of American Gramaphone products and their story, How to Use the Disc, How to Contact Them, and album credits.
Some of the five demo video music tracks come other Davis videos, such as footage from the Early Greek portion of Fresh Aire 8 appearing here as the selection "Night Party." Others are just slide shows of appropriate still photos, such as the instruments and other images accompanying the Menuetto movement of Mozart's String Quartet in C Major. Waterfall is a series of closeups of a famous Escher optical illusion drawing. One of the interesting visual departures here is the realtime meter display option for any of these five videos. Rainbow-colored 3D waterfall displays appear onscreen for each of the five channels of music and you can see the oscilloscope-type rise and fall of the patterns in accord with the music you are hearing from each speaker. For example the LFE channel shows no movement at the beginning of a piece but when a loud tam-tam whack is heard in the music one end of that display suddenly leaps into life. I don't know how much time one would devote to watching this, but I found it at least more interesting than the fireplace DVD! Purchase Here

Astrud Gilberto Now (with Deodato, Airto, Billy Cobham, Ron Carter & others) - Silverline DVD-A (no disc number listed)
Guess they didn't want to modify the album title of this 1972 original LP, but Now means Then, not Now. Fresh from the hit The Girl from Ipanema and in the midst of the bossa nova craze in North American, the hesitant but sexy little voice of Astrud Gilberto joins an ensemble of top jazz men in ten tunes. The producers must have dug up all the original parts of the multi-tracked session and mixed them to discrete 5.1 surround for this reissue. I don't know I would agree with their calling the result 'stunning,' but it does add a good feeling of involvement in the music, especially with the various Brazilian percussion at the surround speakers. There's also some nostalgic photos of the singer. Tracks: Zigy Zigy Za, Make Love to Me, Baiao, Touching You, Gingele, Take It Easy My Brother Charlie, Where Have You Been?, General da Banda, Bridges, Daybreak. Purchase Here
Rabih Abou-Khalil, oud - The Cactus of Knowledge (with ensemble of 11 incl. Eddie Allen, trumpet; Tom Varner, French horn; Vincent Couirtois, cello) - Enja Records, Germany DVD-A ENJ-9401 8:
The mixing of Arabic music and jazz has not occurred frequently in the past, but this is the most successful such venture I have ever heard. It stands to reason that such a mix would come out of what is now being called the European New Jazz movement. European jazz performers don't suffer from an overly-respectful attitude about American roots music and jazz, so they have no problem integrating world music, classical, rock, marching band, circus, movie music, you-name-it into their music. There's no information on the performers; the only one I was familiar with was jazz-on-French horn specialist Varner. However, oud virtuoso Abou-Khalil has had ten previous albums on Enja, so he's not a shot in the dark. The entire notes booklet consists of a poetic essay titled The Butterfly of Light, in English French, German and Arabic, the entire score for one of the pieces: Oum Said, and individual photos of the leading players - each one sitting on an orange divan next to a giant green plastic cactus. It is obvious that irony and humor are a part of these proceedings.
All eight tracks are original Abou-Khalil compositions and meld both the Arabic themes and the two Arabic instruments - his oud and a frame drum - into the unique ensemble. From the titles, there appears to be a French influence at work here, though the recording was made in Cologne. (Some other centers of European New Jazz are Paris, Berlin, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and most of all Amsterdam.) The players are spread around the listener, and the experience is ear-opening to say the least. Perhaps a hint of what's in store can be ascertained from the track list: The Lewinsky March, Business as Usual, Fraises et creme fraiche, Got to Go Home, Oum Said, Maltese Chicken Farm, Ma Muse M'amuse, Pont Neuf.

Bill Evans Trio - Waltz for Debby (with Scott LaFaro, bass; Paul Motian, drums) - Riverside/Analogue Productions stereo SACD CAPJ 9399 SA:
Another jazz classic that has been reissued countless times now. In fact less than four years ago the xrcd version was released, and I have it for comparison. These three players created the epitome of jazz piano trios for the mikes over 40 years ago now and nothing sounds the least bit dated - music, playing or sonics. The session was taped live at New York City's Village Vanguard. The last four of the ten tracks are bonus tracks not found on the original LP release, and three of the tunes are heard in two different takes.
Comparisons: I compared the original CD release, the CD layer of the SACD, the stereo SACD layer, and the xrcd disc. This was a case where the sound was remarkably similar in all of the formats. After some time spent in relaxed listening, the very slight advantages in detail of the SACD became apparent. Unfortunately, for all its reissue interest, the piano sound on this disc is not as good as many others with audiophile pretensions, and the audience noises are in some ways more distracting than those on the Jazz at the Pawnshop. There was a slight improvement in soundstaging with the SACD, but this is early stereo and the soundstage is very wide to begin with - bass and drums clearly on the left channel and Evans' piano clearly on the right channel. I also tried the different formats both via an MSB LinkDAC and a Bel Canto DAC as well as directly out of the analog output from my Dan Wright-modified Sony 9000ES, and there was little difference heard.

Weather Report - Mysterious Traveller (Incl. Wayne Shorter, sop. & tenor sax & Lyricon, tack piano; Joe Zawinul, piano, vocals, Melodica, synth, organ, percussion, Fender Rhodes; Miroslav Vitous & Alphonso Johnson, bass; Dom Um Romao & Ray Baretto, percussion; Skip Hadden & Ismael Wilburn, drums) - Columbia Legacy multichannel SACD (only) CS 65112:
Last month I reviewed a psuedo Weather Report SACD - actually a tribute to the famous fusion group. This month we got the real thing. While Weather Report did release an SQ surround LP, for this - their fourth studio album - the original elements were rounded up and mixed to a new 5.1 surround experience. It's been over a quarter century now and the very special fusion vision of Weather Report - primarily of Joe Zawinul - has influenced generations of jazz performers. The instrumentation, for one thing, was unique and hasn't been heard since. Zawinul saw that electronic instruments could be used - combined with Latin and soul elements - to create a different direction for jazz. But he didn't accept what these gadgets provided right out of the box - he learned exactly how synths worked and how to modify them to end up with the "Zawinul sound" that was central to Weather Report. With the added clarity and depth of DSD reproduction the panoply of these brilliant uses of electronics in fusion jazz can be really heard and appreciated for the first time.
The chemistry between Zawinul and Wayne Shorter was also central to the sound of the group, and instead of long solos the front line musicians play short passages that are integrated into the whole of the very creative compositions. Personally I'm not at all into either funk or fusion but Weather Report and Flim and the BBs have always held my attention. Tracks are: Nubian Sundance, American Tango, Cucumber Slumber, Mysterious Traveller, Blackthorn Rose, Scarlet Woman, Jungle Book. Purchase Here

Jim Ferguson, vocals & bass - Deep Summer Music (with Chris Potter, tenor sax; Stefan Karlsson, piano; Jim White, drums) A Records/Challenge Records stereo SACD SA AL 75060:
Nashville resident Ferguson is a first-rate bassist who works as a studio musician on sessions there - both as bassist and back-up vocalist. However, jazz is his real thing and only recently has he added his high tenor Southern-accentuated voice to his bass playing. His musical taste is more wide-ranging than most jazz vocalists, and also he's male - when most of the hot jazz vocalists today are of that other gender. Only four of the 14 tunes are his originals, so he's not exactly like jazz bassist-vocalist Jay Leonhardt. A strong liking for fellow Southern jazz vocalist Mose Allison comes thru in some of his more ironic and bluesy tunes, but Jim sports a better voice and more melodic approach. I tend to get bored with the entire run of tracks on most jazz vocal albums, but Ferguson kept me interested thru all 14 tracks, and it wasn't just because of the pristine clarity and presence of the SACD reproduction. By the way, the disc says "mixed and mastered in DSD" so it appears the original recording was either analog or hi-res PCM. Tracks: Deep Summer Music, What's a Guy Supposed to Do?, I'll Only Miss Her When I Think of Her, Wait Till You See Her, There'll Be Other Times, Walkin' the Dog, Slow Hot Wind, The Night We Called It a Day, Come Home to Red, Then I'll Be Tired of You, When the Night is Done, Nobody Home, When Your Lover Has Gone, In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning.

Paul Bollenback, guitar - Double Vision (with Joey DeFrancesco, B3 organ; Ed Howard, bass; Terri Lyne Carrington & Jeff Tain Watts, drums) - Challenge Records stereo SACD SACHR 75030:
Another U.S. jazz group that had to go to a European jazz label to get released on disc. Hadn't heard of Bollenback, but organist Joey DeFrancesco is a top name in U.S. jazz today. A studio in Maryland was used and the original analog tapes were mixed and mastered to DSD in Amsterdam. Bollenback plays in a strongly swinging single string electric style which mates perfectly with the electric sound of DeFrancesco's B3. Four of the nine tracks are his own, and the shift to more pop songs rather than all jazz standards is shown by his opening treatment of Stevie Wonder's I Am Singing, as well as his closer: a tune from Hootie and the Blowfish. The lyrical version of Strayhorn's Lush Life is also an album highlight. Bollenback's guitar is recorded up quite close and the B3 bass end is strong in impact. By the way, if you don't own an SACD player as yet, the CD layer of this hybrid disc provides really superior sonics on its own (as I discussed in the intro to this section this month). Tracks: I Am Singing, Open Hand, Danny, Breaking the Girl, Reflections of Jaco, Lush Life, After the Love Has Gone, Thank You Mr. Hancock, Let Her Cry. Purchase Here

Tangerine Dream - Rubycon - Virgin stereo SACD V2025:
Another blast from the past, offered to our undoctored ears with better fidelity than ever before so we can decide for ourselves if what we thought we heard back then was really in the music or just what we were smoking in l975. The Berlin electronic trio has been one of the longest-lived groups coming out of the experimental 60s, with a stream of about 50 albums to their credit. I still prefer the electronic sounds they coaxed out of what are now considered obsolete instruments to any electronica of today. (I also much prefer the musique concrete of that period to the "serious" electronic compositions of today). The Moogs, Mellotrons, Elka organs and E-pianos never sounded so good on the original LPs. (Of course part of the problem could have been the Dual and JVC record changers we were playing them on...) The stretched-out synthesizer rhythmic riffs over which are heard the guitar, flute, piano or organ melodic lines aren't nearly as strenuously funk/dance floor as heard with electronica today. And the sounds are tonal and diatonic - not noise-based. Guess I'm just an old moldy fig when it comes to electronic music. Hey, the track list will provide a host of information about this SACD: Part One, Part Two. Purchase Here

The Human League - Dare! - Virgin stereo SACD11255-2:
Take three of those synthesizers similar to the above, add one male and two female vocalists, and ramp up the beat, and you have The Human League. This is their l981 album, which also came out in a 45 rpm 12-inch single with the tracks Don't You Want Me and Seconds, which made HP's List at one time. I dug it out and did an A/B comparison. The vinyl still had the slight edge - more oomph in the deep bass beats, a bit more clarity and air around the voices. But the SACD would probably beat out the 33 1/2 vinyl if I had it. The Human League sounds to me like Kraftwerk gave up their robotic personalities, decided to write some less minimalist lyrics more like standard pop, and got some girls in the group. Tracks: The Things That Dreams Are Made of, Open Your Heart, The Sound of the Crowd, Darkness, Do or Die, Get Carter, I Am the Law, Seconds, Love Action, Don't You Want Me. Purchase Here

I serve these fish parcels just as they are, so people can open them up at the table. The steam billows out and the aroma hits diners smack in the face. It's really theatrical, and so much fun.
I love the colors and flavors of this dish. The black olives and basil add a salty, herbal tang, although the overall effect is surprisingly delicate.–Bryn Williams
LC Better Late than Never? Note
There's a single point of controversy in this eminently versatile, really quite customizable, otherwise foolproof fish in parchment recipe. And that's when to add the basil. Slip it into the parcel prior to cooking and your guests will be wooed by its licorice-like fragrance the moment they slit their parcels-although they may also be confronted with a potentially soggy basil leaf or three clinging to their sole. The alternative is to thinly slice or tear the basil and pass it on the side for guests to shower over the sole after the packets have been slit open, an approach that appreciates aesthetics over aroma. Suit yourself, whether you follow the recipe below or simply use it as a blueprint.
Fish in Parchment
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4
- 1 scallion, trimmed and thinly sliced
- 1 summer squash, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 1/4-inch thick)
- 1 green zucchini, trimmed and thinly sliced (about 1/4-inch thick)
- 2 ounces black olives, pitted and halved
- 1 small bunch of basil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 fillets lemon sole (or other mild, delicate white fish, such as flounder), each skinned and cut into 4 portions
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons) butter, cold, cut into small pieces
- 3 tablespoons white wine
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (176ºC). Cut 4 pieces of parchment paper or aluminum foil, each one measuring close to a 12-inch-by-12-inch square.
- 2. Place the scallion, summer squash, green zucchini, black olives, and basil in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, drizzle with the olive oil, and mix well.
- 3. Divide the vegetables among the pieces of parchment paper or foil, placing a small but heaping mound in the center of each square.
- 4. Place three sole fillets on each mound, and fold each portion in half to prevent it from overcooking. Season the sole with salt and pepper. Divide the butter evenly among the mounds and dribble a scant tablespoon of wine over each. Fold the paper or foil over the sole to create sealed parcels (fold in opposite sides at the same time, then repeat with the two remaining sides. Seal the parcels tightly by folding over the edges and crimping them together. Be sure to leave a little space inside the parcels for the steam.
- 5. Place the parcels on a rimmed baking sheet and place in the hot oven until the sole is cooked through, 10 to 14 minutes. (If using foil, it may take a few minutes longer.) Serve the parcels at once, placing them on plates and offering each guest a sharp knife to slit the parcels-and an equally sharp warning about not holding their faces too near the steam-puffed parcels as they set about making said slit.
If you make this recipe, snap a photo and hashtag it #LeitesCulinaria. We'd love to see your creations on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.

How to get your adult children to leave the nest
Every day, about 10,000 baby boomers reach the traditional retirement age of 65. That's long past the age of paying allowance. But whatever you call it, a number of older parents are paying it --- and paying the price.
A record total of 21.6 million members of the millennial generation were living at their parents' homes in 2012, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data. That's 36 percent of the country's young adults, ages 18 to 31.
It's not just housing that older parents are providing. A May 2011 survey commissioned by the National Endowment for Financial Education found that 59 percent of U.S. parents of children aged 18 to 39 are providing or have provided financial support of some sort for their adult children after they're out of school. The trend may be even more notable among affluent boomers. In a study conducted in late 2011 by Ameriprise Financial, 93 percent of boomers with at least $100,000 in investable assets said they have provided financial support to their adult children, including housing, college tuition or loans, and help with buying a car. Boomer parents also are helping pay car insurance, rent or utility payments, home down payments, mortgage payments and health insurance, the study says.
"A new generation is graduating college and they're nominally adults but they're functioning as dependent children," says Darryl Dahlheimer, program director at LSS Financial Counseling Service in Minneapolis.
What's more concerning: 26 percent of the adults surveyed by the National Endowment for Financial Education reported going into debt to support their adult children. Seven percent delayed retirement to help their adult children.
Credit counselors have seen the evidence firsthand. One retired woman who sought help at ClearPoint Credit Counseling Solutions took out five payday loans to help her unemployed son. "He came to her even though Social Security is her only source of income," says ClearPoint spokesman Bruce McClary. "He appealed to her emotions to get her to borrow the money. However, he was not helping her repay the debt. She was struggling to keep up and not able to get out of the cycle."
Counselors helped her set up a self-managed plan to take care of the loans and encouraged her not to take out any more loans. They also suggested she refer her son for counseling.
Back-door debting
For some parents, new loans aren't the problem. Instead they're prolonging existing debts, a practice Dahlheimer calls 'back-door debting.' "Maybe they don't pay off their credit cards," he says. "Maybe they get a five-year car loan instead of two."
I have seen 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds still relying on help from well-heeled parents in their 70s, 80s and early 90s.
Jayne Di Vincenzo
Lions Bridge Financial
Sometimes that help continues until the adult children are nearly old enough to retire, says Jayne Di Vincenzo, president of Lions Bridge Financial in Newport News, Va. "I have seen 40-, 50- and 60-year-olds still relying on help from well-heeled parents in their 70s, 80s and early 90s," Di Vincenzo says. "You can tell it's been a lifelong thing and it's become an expectation."
At best, ongoing financial assistance robs young adults of independence and fosters a sense of entitlement, McClary says. At worst, it can lead to financial abuse of older adults. Offspring may pressure their parents into adding them to bank and credit card accounts and then take advantage of this access, he says.
Getting poll results. Please wait...
Numerous factors contribute. Dahlheimer cites fewer jobs available for young people, the natural desire of parents for their children to have an easier life, and a tendency of boomer parents to be friends with and hang on to their children. "They feel financial assistance is an expression of love for their children," McClary says.
But, says McClary, M-O-N-E-Y doesn't spell love. "There are a number of other ways that are more meaningful and longer lasting than financial help to express your love for your children," he says. "The key question is, 'How can I express love by helping my child grow up?'"
Easing kids out of the nest
Here are some tips on how to prevent your kids from depending on you long after they should be on their own:
- Define for your kids when it's appropriate to ask for help. A medical crisis? Job loss? Car trouble? Foreclosure looming?
- Let them know how -- loan, gift, moving in with you -- you will assist them and how often. One strike and you're out? Twice and done?
- Tell them what is expected while you're helping. This might include giving you access to their budget and spending information, as well as status reports on looking for a first or second job.
- Outline the terms of repayment for any loans, including payoff periods and any interest you plan to charge.
One financial string you may not want to cut: Keeping your kids on your health insurance up to age 26, as allowed under the Affordable Care Act, might be a good idea. It provides parents peace of mind and is different from depleting assets to bail out adult children, Di Vincenzo notes.
Weaning them off the dole
Parents who have already become the Bank of Mom and Dad should consider these steps to get children on their own feet:
- Have a frank discussion to assess whether the children still need financial help, McClary says. If they no longer need help, pull the plug. If they still need help and the parents can afford to continue to help, outline strict rules about repayment and disclosure. For example, one parent agreed to pay a debt management plan if a daughter attended debt counseling and Gamblers Anonymous.
- Parents who can no longer afford financial help or no longer want to help should offer nonfinancial support such as helping children network, apply for jobs or look for affordable housing, says Suzanna de Baca, vice president of wealth strategies at Ameriprise Financial.
- Insist on full disclosure, including checking and credit card statements, Di Vincenzo says. "Are they spending money on extravagant trips?" she says. "Does their kid really need a new PlayStation and a new bike every Christmas? They have to show some responsibility in their finances."
- Come up with a deadline when help will end. "Tell your child, 'After Jan. 1, my financial adviser has told me I can't afford to spend more than my living expenses or I'll be out of money in five years.'" Di Vincenzo says.
'Reality is the best
Diane Summerville of Greensboro, N.C., provides a good example of how to set boundaries. She gave her oldest son -- who graduated from college in 2012 and had a job -- until Oct. 15, 2012 to move out. In the meantime, she charged him rent. Summerville says she wouldn't have dreamed of going into debt "to support an adult who is as capable as I am of earning a living."
Setting a solid date is key, Summerville says. "He had to believe his things would be sitting by the curb on that day," she says. "And he did believe it." Her son moved out on the appointed date.
He had to believe his things would be sitting by the curb on that day.
Diane Summerville
Mother of two adult sons
Summerville's second son graduated high school in 2012, but wasn't pursuing higher education or a job. She told him that to stay, he either needed to be enrolled in school and working part time or working full time. If he didn't meet those conditions, he had to be out of the house by Feb. 15 -- and he knew she'd make it stick, based on what happened with his brother. Summerville told him he could move back in once he met those conditions, but if he slipped again, he'd be asked to leave with no chance of coming back. "I knew there would be a chance he would be out in the cold," she says. "But I firmly believed it was for his long-term benefit."
Son No. 2 moved out on the appointed date and eventually got his act together. He has a job as a waiter, is training to become a firefighter and has returned home where he's also helping with home maintenance.
"I'm a strong believer in natural consequences and reality being the best teacher," Summerville says.See related: Tips for getting grown children out of the nest, Money disorders: Financial dependency means losing self-worth, Money disorders: Financial enabling is help that hurts, Jobless adult children rack up big debt on mom's cards

The discussion regarding the role and responsibility of archivists/historians/records managers is in dialogue again. The Records Junkie posits using the term "Records Science" instead of management. The Heretic responds, suggesting that the term "theory and practice" should replace both terms for both the records and archives management fields. Interesting thoughts, particularly in a world where technology (practical application of science) has changed so much of what and how we do history.
In a world where many of us do not separate our work as historians from our work as Christians, the idea of abandoning the word "science" is, perhaps, easier to swallow than it might be for others. We do, after all, participate in Memory Ministry, a far cry from what most would think of as science. We might find the practical "management" okay, even comforting, depending on our stand on free will or our tendency to accept having our information "managed." As a certified archivist, I understand the need for managing a record cycle and the frustration of not receiving the records that should come my way.
I especially approve of managing because we have both open meeting and open records policies stated in the Discipline in the spirit of openness, and a good records policy helps assure that the meetings are open and the information from them is available to all. Still, as a historian, I do not like to think of myself as "managing" the stuff of history. It exposes me as a biased person. Oh well.

India: Director-General Inaugurates UNESCO Chair in Climate Science and Policy
Students and faculty gathered at TERI University in New Delhi for the inauguration of a UNESCO Chair in Climate Science and Policy on 9 November 2012.
Inaugurating the Chair with the University's Vice-Chancellor, Leena Srivastava, the Director-General affirmed that "sustainability requires multi-disciplinarity, it calls for connecting knowledge with policy and strengthening the science-policy interface".
The Chair, to be held by Professor Veerabhadran Ramanathan, will build capacity and share knowledge to develop solutions for climate mitigation and adaptation. The Director-General also stressed the importance of building deeper convergence between the climate change and biodiversity agendas.
In accepting the Chair, Professor Ramanathan formulated his concerns in four questions: Is humanity's interaction with nature sustainable? Is our knowledge about skills advancing enough to lessen environmental impact? How will South Asia look in a two to four degree warming world and how is it prepared for this? How many cities in South Asia are prepared to deal with major events like Hurricane Sandy? As Chair holder, Professor Ramanathan pledged to further engage scientific discourse on these issues and to develop actions that can be implemented in the field.
Inaugurated in 1998, TERI University works at the cutting edge of global research on science for sustainability and runs an inter-disciplinary Masters programme in Climate Science and Policy. In his capacity as Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the University's Chancellor Dr Rajendra Pachauri shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007 with U.S. Vice-President Al Gore.

That looks great! I think I may do that with cat grass seeds which I think is oat grass. My cats always get into the easter grass which isn't good for them.

I don't know why I did not think of this before easter! I think because our heads have been all clouded up with head colds and allergies.

cgilberg necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 59 diseños de 10 diseñadores freelance.
My daughter, Tali, is having her bat mitvah party at a club with a black & red color scheme. She has decided to have a "masquerade theme". She will wear a real Venetian-style masque and all guests will be given inexpensive masks when arriving. We want to create a cool logo and t-shirt design that can be used on various items -- giveaways, t-shirts, sweatshirts, signs, etc.
The logo will be used on various items and seen by our guests.
The logo should be classy (not cutesy) and shouldn't look like mardi-gras.
This is a pic of the exact mask that Tali will be wearing but the design does NOT need to look exactly like it:
My daughter loves Ed Hardy clothing. So one idea is to make the logo look like a traditional "Ed Hardy" design.cShe especially likes the "Love Kills Slowly" design which is the one you see most often. Instead of the skull, you could use a mask and then where the words usually appear in the white banners, you could use words like "Le Masquerade", "Tali", "Party" or "3.27.10". Also, we can imitate the Ed Hardy logo at the top of the shirt with the words "T. Hardy".
On the back of the shirt, we can use "T. Hardy" and put the date underneath. I've attached a pic of what I mean..
Here are some Ed Hardy designs:
I've also a few more of the "Love Kills Slowly" shirts.
The logo should incorporate the following info:
1. Le Masquerade
2. Tali
3. Or instead of 1 & 2 above, you can use something like Le Masquerade de Tali
4. March 27, 2010 (or 3.27.10)
5. Colors: red, black and gold. You can bring in other colors too but those are the main ones.
Final file requirements:
1. hi-res eps/illustrator (with fonts)
2. jpg or gif
3. Need a version that will print well on black since we'll probably be putting the design on black t-shirts or sweatshirts.
4. If going with the Ed Hardy t-shirt design, we also need a smaller logo version to be used on items such as postage stamps or signs.

Apple has updated its Final Cut Pro X, Motion, and Compressor applications, coinciding with the launch of a new campaign to bring former Final Cut Pro users back to the software. Final Cut Pro X now supports Sony's XAVC codec up to 4K resolution, along with ProRes Logic C from ARRI ALEXA cameras. There have been a number of other tweaks and fixes. Motion and Compressor have also had numerous bugs fixed.
This update comes as Apple launches a campaign aimed at wooing back professional video editors that may have turned to other software solutions after the initial launch of Final Cut Pro X. The changes made between Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Pro X angered a great number of users, who were unable to do things like edit footage from multiple cameras or import their projects from Final Cut Pro 7. Apple's competitors in the space, Avid and Adobe, successfully convinced many video editors to switch to their software.
Adobe and Avid reps say they've made big gains in the last two years, while Townhill of Apple says Pro X has become the most downloaded version of the software ever. All three competitors agree that it's hard to find independent, third-party market research to verify any claims
Over the past couple of years, Apple has steadily adding features back into Final Cut Pro X, including the aforementioned multi-camera editing, and they have been able to get some users back. Their new campaign to bring editors back to Final Cut Pro features stories from profession video editors that are well-known within their industry talking about how they benefit from Final Cut Pro X's features, including its speed.

Dear sirs,
Good morning,
I just want an analysis book on 'Robinson Crusoe' by Daniel Defoe.
i.e. I want a book where each passage of 'Robinson Crusoe' novel is written individually & under the passage is an analysis.I've found nothing about that on the internet. Thank you for your time.
