Q. I am 62 years old and over the course of the last five years have developed strong anxiety about going to the dentist. I have had crowns put in since my 40s and it never really bothered me, but now I find myself putting off dental work with the exception of cleanings which, although I still get somewhat anxious about, I will have done three times a year. When I finally do make the appointment for needed work, I find myself stressing about it daily until it�s all over with.
I have wanted to find a dentist who practices sedation dentistry; however, I hesitate to leave my dentist as I�ve been going to him for many years and I believe he is very good (apparently taught at Tufts on how to use the CERAC machine) and is listed in the Guide to America�s Top Dentists. I also know that once I leave, I would not have the nerve to go back even if I wanted to. I did ask him for a prescription for my last crown (he gave me Valium) which helped with my nerves and gag reflex for most of the visit. He asked me why after having had crowns before, I was so anxious and needed a prescription. Although I believe he is technically a very good dentist, I do not find him warm or empathetic.
I know there are dental groups who practice sedation dentistry but I want to make sure they are technically good dentists. I called Tufts but never received a call back.
My questions are, how does someone find a good dentist? How does someone find a good dentist who practices sedation dentistry?
A. I can completely relate to your dilemma. I have seen this happen in many patients during my years of practice. They would come to our office for a consultation and had quite the same story as yours. I do not believe that anyone has been able to pinpoint why this apprehension occurs and it obviously has more to do with surgical or operative dentistry than routine maintenance.
In terms of how to find a good dentist, it's not easy to do but with diligence and patience can be achieved.
There are practitioners that practice dentistry with various types of sedation, both twilight or conscious sedation and the deeper levels if needed. Their competence has to be judged by you, as you can find quality in all members of our profession without regard to whether they use sedation of any type. I would only caution that if they use more than twilight sedation that there be a separate anesthetist to monitor you other than the dentist. It could be a nurse, MD or DDS, but someone to watch all of your vital signs while the dental procedures are being performed.
Listening carefully to your words, I would not be too quick to look for someone new. You have said many wonderful things about your current dentist and I would strongly advise that you think this out thoroughly. Many doctors and dentists alike sometimes in their daily routine give out the feeling that you perceived as lack of empathy. However, most of us went into the health professions because we did have that quality. Maybe he was just out of touch with how significant your problem had become. Before making the decision to leave this practice, I would request a consultation with him where you can be open and honest and maybe even show him this Q-and-A.
I would find it hard to imagine that if he clearly understands how profound a problem this is for you, that he would not have a good suggestion. There are other oral anti-anxiety agents such as alprazolam (Xanax) that work very well to allay some of the emotional upset you have endured. They have to be taken 30 to 60 minutes prior to the appointment and you have to be accompanied as you would not want to travel in the sedated state. There are also dental anesthesiologists that can be retained by him to accompany while he performs his treatment. There would be additional fees.
I would say that just making him more aware of this very significant issue may provoke a much more thoughtful and empathetic response. I would be very interested in hearing back if you choose to follow my suggestion. I wish you the best.
Dr. Richard Greenberg of Ipswich practiced dentistry for 45 years after having attended dental school at Columbia University, where he was later an associate clinical professor of restorative dentistry and facilitator of the course of ethics.

Hayden Planetarium main content.
At the heart of the Rose Center for Earth and Space is an 87-foot-diameter sphere that appears to float inside a glass cube. Its upper half constitutes the Hayden Planetarium, which opened in 2000 along with the Rose Center for Earth and Space. It remains an enduring beacon of astrophysical education, as was its predecessor, which opened in 1935.
The 429-seat Space Theater, which features a custom-made Zeiss Mark IX Star Projector and a Digital Dome Projection System to display a hyperrealistic view of the planets, star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies, uses a scientifically accurate 3D map of the observable universe based on millions of astronomical observations. Known as the Digital Universe Atlas, this map of the cosmos is maintained by a team of Museum scientists and visualization experts in collaboration with colleagues from organizations such as NASA. The Digital Universe Atlas also provides the foundation for the Museum's Space Shows, which are screened in the Space Theater.

Carbohydrates are probably the most important of the three main classes of foods since they are our main source of energy and should constitute at least 50–60 percent of the diet. There has been a shift in this century away from the
healthful consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables and complex carbohydrates—the starches and fiber foods—toward a diet of more refined carbohydrates and simple sugars that are implicated in a variety of diseases, among them obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and tooth decay.
Carbohydrates are organic molecules; that is, they contain carbon and come from living sources. They are composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) (thus, the abbreviation CHO) in a 1:2:1 ratio. The basic relationship is that of carbon coupled with water molecules. Carbohydrates are a quick source of energy for the body, being easily converted to glucose, the fuel for the body's cells. Each gram of carbohydrate releases four calories, units of heat or energy, for the body.
Carbohydrates are produced by photosynthesis in plants. The carbohydrates are the primary source of energy in nature's plant foods—fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and tubers. These foods play a very important role in the functioning of the internal organs, the nervous system, and the muscles. They are the best source of energy for endurance athletics because they provide both an immediate and a time-released energy source as they are digested easily and then consistently metabolized in the bloodstream.
Carbohydrates are also needed to regulate protein and fat metabolism. With the proteins and fats, the carbohydrates help to fight infections, promote growth of body tissues such as bones and skin, and lubricate the joints. Many carbohydrate foods are also high in fiber, and the fiber content of foods is important in the bulking of the stool, which aids in regular elimination of waste materials through the colon. Indeed, fiber is thought to be helpful in preventing colon diseases such as colon cancer and diverticulosis and is being prescribed by more doctors as a dietary necessity.
Three principal carbohydrates are present in foods. Carbohydrates are classified according to their structure. First are the sugars, both monosaccharides (simple sugars), such as those found in honey and fruits, and oligosaccharides (multiple sugars), such as table sugar and malt sugar, which both happen to be disaccharides (two-sugar molecules). Then there are the starches, or complex carbohydrates, found primarily in vegetables such as carrots and potatoes and in whole grains such as rice and corn. Finally, there is fiber, mainly cellulose and hemicellulose, the indigestible roughage found in most unprocessed, carbohydrate-containing foods.
The basic unit of the simple sugars (monosaccharides) is one hexose (containing six carbon atoms) or pentose (five carbon atoms) molecule. These simple sugars are easily and quickly digested and utilized by the body. They have the same chemical makeup but vary in structure. The disaccharides, such as table sugar or milk sugar, require some enzymatic breakdown but are easily converted into monosaccharides for digestion. The following represent the common basic sugars.

After the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act in July and with President Barack Obama elected to a second term in November, businesses are finally coming to grips with compliance of the law, according to a survey release by Willis Human Capital Practice, a unit of Willis Group Holdings.
The survey, which was released Feb. 14, states most employers are hoping to avoid cost increases to their group health plans brought on by health care reform, but more than half have not calculated those expected increases yet. However, nearly two-thirds of responding employers that have calculated the costs of health care reform said the new law has led to increases.
Sixty percent of employers said avoiding cost increases is very important to their business. But when asked about aspects like plan design and benefits offerings, the majority of employers said health care reform has not affected their plans, according to the survey. And only 20 percent of respondents indicated they expect to adjust dental plans and salaries and bonuses, among others, to offset the cost of compliance with the law.
"The survey suggests that employers continue to recognize the value of providing medical benefits, how important those benefits are to their employees, and that providing benefits allows them to attract and retain the employees they need," Willis' National Legal and Research Group Practice Leader Jay Kirschbaum said in a statement. "Therefore, they generally plan to continue offering competitive medical benefits. However, they are considering several potential options, even including the possibility of coverage through state exchanges."
Other key findings from the survey include:
• 55 percent of employers felt that competitors would shift costs to employees; however, only 34 percent of employers indicated that they might take this same action.
• Employers indicated that they are now much more likely to voluntarily relinquish grandfathered status (in fact, this year 39 percent of employers chose to voluntarily forego grandfathered status; last year, only 13 percent of employers made the same decision).
• Most employers intend to "play" under the "pay or play" mandate, and are predominantly planning to offer coverage that exceeds the "minimum essential coverage" requirement, and then adjust coverage and contributions after the fact in order to manage expenses.
The entire survey can be read here.

Jazz Festival features Dizzy Gillespie All-Stars
Tuesday, February 26, 2013 2:00 AM
Pittsburg, KS
The Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band will be the featured performer for Pittsburg State University's 39th Annual Jazz Festival on Friday, March 1. The band will perform at 7:30 p.m. in Pittsburg's Memorial Auditorium.
The Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band was formed in 1998 to perform Gillespie's classic big band repertoire and continue the legacy he left when he died in 1993. The band includes many Gillespie alumni, associates and collaborators.
PSU's long-running jazz festival is an opportunity for area junior high school, high school and community college groups to perform for and receive ratings from renowned jazz educators from across the country. This year's jazz faculty come Texas State University, Hope College, the University of Michigan, Edison College of Florida and other universities.
Bob Kehle, a member of the faculty in PSU's Department of Music, directs the university's jazz studies program and has organized the Jazz Festival since 1978. The festival was founded by current Music Department Chairman Rusty Jones in 1974.
"What makes the PSU Jazz Festival such a great event is the opportunity for aspiring young jazz musicians to perform for and learn from some of the finest jazz educators in the U.S.," Kehle said. "It is a testament to the strength of the Jazz Festival that so many great jazz educators are eager to participate in this event."
The festival's history and reputation is one big reason that it draws so many participants from such a wide area, Kehle said. This year, dozens of schools from Kansas City, Wichita, Tulsa, and Springfield are registered, as well as many from the immediate four-state area.
The festival is so large that in addition to using the Sharon K. Dean Recital Hall in McCray Hall and the Overman Student Center, the also occupies both the upper and lower levels of Pittsburg's Memorial Auditorium. The daytime performances run from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. and are free and open to the public.
Tickets are required for the evening performance, which in addition to the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band, includes the PSU Jazz Ensemble I. Tickets are $15 for adults on the main floor and $10 for PSU faculty and staff and persons 65 and older or 17 and under. Full-time PSU students are admitted free.

Lindsay Lohan Leaves Betty Ford and Relocates to a Malibu Rehab Center
After 30 days, Lindsay Lohan has left the Betty Ford Clinic to complete the remainder of her 90-day court mandated rehab stint at the Cliffside Center in Malibu. And everyone -- prosecutors included -- signed off on the deal.
This time around, LiLo was actually smart and made sure to get her new home-away-from-home approved by the judge, prosecutors and her lawyer before just up and switching facilities because she felt like it.
All involved parties agreed that the move was beneficial, as Betty Ford is more of a 30-day rehab program while Cliffside is better suited for longer stays -- and after arriving yesterday, La Lohan is already said to be already settling in nicely. (Yes, even without her Adderall, which she probably won't be allowed to have at Cliffside either.)

This was my first time in the 2nd part (middle) of San Bartolo (the rights just to the right of the largest jetty). Also my first time in San Bartolo at mid-rising tide. It was also my first time entering/exiting the water from a jetty/rocks. It went pretty well though and the rocks were fairly smooth (a few small snails and other things, but no urchins or sharp shells).
It took me a bit to get the hang of the area. There's a nice rip right alongside the jetty, so after a ride you can paddle over towards the jetty and it'll shoot you right back out to the lineup (awesome!). I wasn't going out too far as I was looking for some of the mid sized (5-7 footers) waves rather than the 6-8+ foot waves that were out there.
I had some problems catching the waves at first due to the fact that they back off a bit in a certain spot. Eventually I watched some of the locals and they were waiting for the wave to partially break and then they'd catch it in the partially breaking whitewater knowing that it would back off, reform and not close on them. I caught one this way pretty easilly (though it was a bit hard to see with all the splash and I was going towards the rocks). But after that I started to cramp up. I fought through the cramps for a while, but each time when I'd be able to catch a wave they'd come back, so I had to head in.
Paddling back to the shore w/o being able to catch waves is a bit of a pain. There are a lot of rocks, so going to the shore can be a bit hazardous. Also getting close to the jetty for your exit is a bit tough due to the rip. So you have to take a wide berth around the jetty and then angle towards it and catch it before the rip pulls you out. I managed OK, but w/ both legs cramped up to hell it was a lot of arm paddling.

HealthDay Reporter
Latest Infectious Disease News
TUESDAY, Aug. 6 (HealthDay News) -- The first reported human-to-human transmission of the deadly H7N9 bird flu has occurred in eastern China.
The illness first killed a 60-year-old man exposed to live poultry and then his previously healthy 32-year-old daughter who had been caring for him.
But dozens of other people exposed to the two flu victims did not fall ill, according to a new report published Aug. 6 in the journal BMJ, leading epidemiologists to conclude that the virus's ability to transmit itself between humans is limited at this point.
"To date, it hasn't been sustainable. It's only been one jump, from chickens to humans," said Dr. Marc-Alain Widdowson, who leads the international epidemiology and research team in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Influenza Division. "It hasn't gone from chicken to human to human to human to human. That's the concern. That's when we have a pandemic on our hands."
The virus, which was first identified in February, has killed one-third of the people who have contracted it. By the end of June, 133 cases had been reported, resulting in 43 deaths.
New cases have slowed to a trickle since May, World Health Organization spokesman Gregory Hartl said. This is likely due to warmer weather in China and the closure of some live bird markets in the affected provinces.
H7N9 has raised concerns among epidemiologists because it can bind to both human and bird cells, unlike the earlier H5N1 bird flu. This increases the possibility that the virus can more easily jump from birds to humans.
"This virus, contrary to H5N1, does seem to have a better affinity to human receptors, so there is a chance that this virus may affect humans more easily," Widdowson said.
The virus attaches itself to cells in the windpipe and lungs, infecting even cells lodged deep in the respiratory system.
A handful of suspected human-to-human transmissions have been noted by epidemiologists since the virus was identified, but this is the first to be published, Hartl said.
The affected father regularly visited a live poultry market and became ill five to six days after his last exposure to poultry, according to the Chinese epidemiologists who wrote the BMJ report.
He was hospitalized on March 11 and transferred to the intensive-care unit on March 15 when his symptoms became worse. He died of multiple organ failure on May 4.
His adult daughter had no known exposure to live poultry but remained by her father's bedside for days after he fell ill, the researchers said. The report noted that she managed his oral hygiene and gave other care without using any personal protective equipment.
She developed symptoms six days after her final contact with her father and was hospitalized on March 24.
Doctors transferred her to the ICU on March 28, and she died of multiple organ failure on April 24.
Researchers found two almost genetically identical virus strains in each patient, suggesting transmission from father to daughter.
Public health officials tracked down 43 close contacts of both the father and daughter, but all tested negative for H7N9 infection.
"This paper is reassuring because many of the other people in contact with the cases did not contract the virus," said Dr. Jeff Duchin, a spokesman for the Infectious Diseases Society of America. "Also, the researchers did not find any genetic changes that would suggest that the virus that did transmit from human to human had adapted or displayed changes that would suggest it would be more likely to cause a human pandemic."
Duchin concluded that the report "doesn't change the threat level."
"This confirms what a lot of people already believed, that there are rare cases of human-to-human transmission," said Duchin, a professor of allergy and infectious disease and an adjunct professor of epidemiology at the University of Washington's School of Public Health, in Seattle.
Nonetheless, the CDC and WHO will continue to monitor the virus's progress, Widdowson and Hartl said.
"It would be wrong for people to let down their guard now. We need to be vigilant, and we need to keep watching for cases," Hartl said. "It's out there still. That we know, because we haven't found the source definitively. So we need to expect to see more cases."

Still praying for a taste of the beer that got a thumbs-up from the monks of Belmont Abbey?
Still praying for a taste of the beer that got a thumbs-up from the monks of Belmont Abbey?
Freeman�s Pub in downtown Gastonia is tapping a keg of the pale ale Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.
The Belmont Abbey-branded brew, a product of Highland Brewing Co. in Asheville and a recipe that got the Abbey monks� seal of approval, will probably go quickly.
Other bars serving the mini-kegs with a local connection ran out of their supplies in days if not hours.
Freeman, who went to school at Belmont Abbey College, expects the pale ale to get the same kind of reception.
He�s been holding onto the special suds for a month while he arranged an event that would bring out alumni for the downtown Gastonia unveiling.
The last specialty brew he had from Highland lasted less than an hour at the Irish pub.

A Parish/Faith Community Nurse is a licensed registered nurse who ministers to the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of a congregation.
Make a difference within a faith community
PN/FCN is an opportunity to serve God in a faith-based setting by caring for and about members and neighbors. They focus on the promotion of health within the context of the beliefs, values and practices of a particular congregation.
The mission and ministry is to meet the unique needs of the members and friends in the church served. In 1997, The American Nurses' Association recognized parish nursing as a specialty practice. In 2005, the name parish nurse was changed to faith community nurse so the focus of practice was more clearly identified and a greater variety of denominations could feel included in the title.
The roles of a Parish Nurse are flexible and independent and determined following a survey of member/friends to ascertain the unique healthcare needs of a congregation/faith community.
- Integrator of Faith and Health is the key focus of ministry through visits in home, hospital and nursing homes and all other activities so an understanding of relationship between faith and health is promoted
- Health Educator - providing health information on bulletin boards, in newsletters, and in classes
- Personal Health Counselor - discussing health concerns with individuals as appropriate
- Developer/Facilitator of Support Groups and Coordinator of Volunteers as needed
- Advocate and resource-referral agent for people to appropriately utilize health care resources.
A Parish/Faith Community Nurse is a colleague in ministry with other pastors and members, enhancing/supporting their work. The nurse is a paid or unpaid staff member and does not duplicate healthcare services that are available from healthcare professionals or that require a Doctor's order.
This ministry/program does not usually include "hands on" nursing like filling pills, bathing and changing wounds. The ministry does involve assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating nursing care which allows the Parish Nurse to focus on member's strengths and areas for growth.

An Unquenchable Thirst
Why Write About Having Been a Nun?
I decided to write An Unquenchable Thirst, the memoir of my twenty years as a nun in the order founded by Mother Teresa of Calcutta, the day my youngest sister phoned to say she was about to marry a man she'd met twice; their guru had decided the two "could contain each other." We human beings sometimes do odd things, especially when religion is involved. Odd and interesting and "not discussed in polite company" things. But it seems to me that what happens when we surrender our wills to religious figures—or deny our sexual natures or believe the Creator of the Universe speaks to us—are things that need to be discussed.
Over the ten years it took to write An Unquenchable Thirst, I worked to tell my story with as much honesty, skill, and compassion as I could muster. Revealing myself on the page often scared me, but I knew my story would resonate with readers only if I didn't flinch at the embarrassing parts.
An Unquenchable Thirst provides an intimate, inside view of a closed society and of a woman still admired throughout the world, a woman I knew personally, Mother Teresa. The book doesn't preach or whine; it simply tells my story, carrying the reader into my heart and mind. I hope you'll find An Unquenchable Thirst engaging, and that it will spark lively discussion.
Oh and, by the way—despite my protests, my sister did marry the fellow. They seem happy and I have a charming nephew.
Starred Review from Kirkus Reviews
Early on, Johnson compares prayer to immersion in water: "I could close my eyes and float on the river of God's Love almost at will." Readers, too, will find themselves transported into another world by this powerful, revealing memoir. An aspirant to the Missionaries of Charity at age 19, the author spent 20 years living a life both extraordinarily simple and heart-wrenchingly complex. Johnson skillfully demonstrates this juxtaposition through her writing—mundane events, such as gathering eggs or learning to play the piano, often have tragic or miraculous implications. As she progressed in the order and became Sister Donata, the issues she faced became darker: a sexually predatory subordinate, theological disputes, an increasingly rigid system of rules and regulations and a love affair with a priest. Throughout the book, the author describes her interactions with Mother Teresa, but she does not try to pass off their relationship as especially close, but instead describes their time together with honesty and telling detail. She writes about a nun who got tired and hungry, became frustrated and disappointed, and liked candy—Mother Teresa actually emerges as a fairly normal person rather than a saintly archetype. As it became increasingly clear to Johnson that the Missionaries of Charity's vision and management were diverging from her own beliefs and values, she struggled with her place in the order and eventually made the decision to leave after two decades of service.
Johnson's portrayal of her time as a nun is likely to be controversial; her memoir is exceptional.
On Writing a Memoir
When I was writing An Unquenchable Thirst, these were the things I told myself:
- Go deep. Be honest.
- Don't flinch at the embarrassing parts.
- Trust your readers. Don't over-explain.
- Simple words will allow readers to enter your experience more directly.
- Don't let your fear of putting the words on the page overcome you. As my MFA advisor Kenny Fries once said, "If it didn't kill you to live it, it's not going to kill you to write about it."
- Just tell the story.

Here's how The Times' Bill Shaikin ranks the 30 major league teams this week:
1. OAKLAND: Trout or Cabrera? Try 3B Josh Donaldson, who has outhomered both and leads the majors in runs. (4)
2. TORONTO: 1B Edwin Encarnacion hit 16 home runs in May. The Royals hit 13. The Cardinals hit 11. (2)
3. SAN FRANCISCO: In 2000, Tim Hudson was second in AL Cy Young vote, going 20-6 with a 4.14 ERA. He began 2014 at 6-2, 1.75. (1)
4. MILWAUKEE: Carlos Gomez, not Ryan Braun, is Brewers OF in All-Star voting. He and Puig would be some fun together. (5)
5. DETROIT: Tigers shortstops have six extra-base hits. So do the Cubs' pitchers. (3)
6. ANGELS: Record with Trout, Pujols and Hamilton all in starting lineup: 4-7. Record without all three in lineup: 28-21. (6)
7. MIAMI: That's a creative bullpen solution: trade a second-round draft pick to add relievers Kevin Gregg, Bryan Morris. (9)
8. ATLANTA: Hard to tell Aaron Harang, Ervin Santana apart by stats but not salaries (Harang $1 million, Santana $14 million). (7)
9. SEATTLE: Robinson Cano, $240-million man, is ninth in HRs — on this team. He has two, same as tiny Astro Jose Altuve. (18) 10. WASHINGTON: Now in LF: 3B Ryan Zimmerman. Denard Span could be pushed out once Bryce Harper returns. (19)
10. WASHINGTON: Now in LF: former All-Star 3B Ryan Zimmerman. If Bryce Harper returns in CF and Jayson Werth stays in RF, Leadoff man Denard Span could be pushed out once Bryce Harper returns. (19)
11. N.Y. YANKEES: Masahiro Tanaka: 9-1 with a 2.02 ERA. All other Yankees starters: 14-16 with a 4.43 ERA. (10)
12. BALTIMORE: OF Nelson Cruz may go from Biogenesis suspension in '13 to All-Star starter. How thrilled is Bud Selig? (16)
13. ST. LOUIS: Biogenesis alum Jhonny Peralta is batting .225 but leads team with 9 HR. Cardinals last in NL with 32 HR. (8)
14. TEXAS: Kershaw's childhood friend and ex-Dodgers teammate Shawn Tolleson emerges as bullpen mainstay with 3.03 ERA. (11)
15. DODGERS: Their best defensive center fielders might be second baseman Dee Gordon and minor leaguer Joc Pederson. (13)
16. CINCINNATI: Dee Gordon, without the hype: 36 stolen bases, 4 caught stealing. OF Billy Hamilton, with hype: 22 SB, 7 CS. (27)
17. BOSTON: Andre Ethier or Matt Kemp would be an upgrade on any of the six current Boston OFs. Carl Crawford too. (24)
18. CHICAGO WHITE SOX: Attendance is at 1960 level, and owner Reinsdorf seeks veto power over next commissioner? (14)
19. PITTSBURGH: As players battle in division race management keeps prospect Gregory Polanco in minors to save $$. (15)
20. CLEVELAND: Hard to find in this era, but Carlos Santana has way more walks (44) than hits (29). He's batting .162. (25)
21. HOUSTON: Progress? They went 15-14 in May, their first full month with a winning record since September 2010. (23)
22. ARIZONA: Mark Trumbo has played in 21 of Arizona's 63 games yet is still second on team in HR, with 7. (28)
23. MINNESOTA: Ricky Nolasco, 31, Dodgers' big trade pickup last July, has a 5.65 ERA in first year of four-year, $49-million deal. (20)
24. SAN DIEGO: Jason Lane played for Padres on Oct. 1, 2007, as an OF. Tuesday, he played for them as 37-year-old pitcher. (26)
25. COLORADO: Charlie Blackmon, the mystery OF who led NL All-Star voting the first week, hit .389 in April. Since then: .252. (12)
26. KANSAS CITY: 3B Mike Moustakas (.145) has the second-lowest batting average of any big leaguer with 100 at-bats. (17)
27. CHICAGO CUBS: The last time they had a winning record — in 2009 — Milton Bradley was their right fielder. (30)
28. TAMPA BAY: With worst record in majors, would they strike soon on trade of SP David Price? (29)
29. N.Y. METS: 50 Cent returns to Citi Field next Saturday — for a postgame concert, thankfully, not a ceremonial first pitch. (21)
30. PHILADELPHIA: First to worst: Attendance at Citizens Bank Park is down 15,000 fans per game. (22)

The Baker University Center Ballroom was buzzing with excitement on Jan. 31 during Ohio University's seventh annual Indonesian Night, which was hosted by The Indonesian Student Union and The Persatuan Mahasiswa Indonesian Amerika Serikat (PERMIAS).
The evening began with a jovial narrative called, "When Cepot Came to OU," which introduced the audience to the Indonesian wooden puppet that would become the emcee of the event. The film captured the puppet traveling to Ohio University, studying in Alden Library and ultimately turning in his dissertation to his dean's office.
The puppet and his assistant, Riana Upton, guided the spectators through the rest of the various student and faculty performances featured during the evening.
The performances gave the diverse members of the audience a taste of Indonesian culture and featured performances of Balinese Dance, Pencak Silat Martial Arts and Anglung music.
The Anglung Ensemble performed both a traditional Indonesian folk song and tribute to Whitney Houston's, "I Will Always Love You" which was sung in two languages.
William Condee concluded the performances with a special Wayang Kulit Shadow Puppet Show. This form of storytelling, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), is designated as a masterpiece of oral and intangible heritage of humanity. This notion was demonstrated by Condee's delivery of several Miley Cyrus and Justin Beiber jokes.
After the performances, the audience was invited to indulge in an authentic Indonesian dinner which included dishes such as Chicken Satay, Beef Rendang, Tofu Balado and Kerupuk.
Gene Ammarell, director of Southeast Asian Studies, admitted that the event gets better and better every year and that he cannot imagine what next year's event will have in store.
The evening concluded with a popular line dance from Eastern Indonesia called "Poco-Poco."

It was also attended by His Excellency Hamad Al Shamsi, Vice Chairman of Etihad Aviation Group, James Hogan, President and Chief Executive Officer, Etihad Aviation Group and Ms. Ahlam Mosteghanemi, a UNESCO Artist for Peace.Addressing the hundreds in the audience, Sheikha Lubna stressed that spreading a culture of tolerance and peaceful co-existence amongst people, institutions and internationally was a primary goal of the UAE Government. James Hogan, who also gave an address, stated that tolerance was a critical quality to succeed in today's complex, globalised environment and was closely linked to respect. "We are a customer service business and our guests are drawn from every corner of the earth. We have to be aware of this diversity and demonstrate tolerance in our dealings with people of all races and backgrounds." An exceptional guest experience, service and hospitality are among the key factors in Etihad Airways' recently being granted Skytrax's Certified 5-Star Airline Rating - the most sought after quality standard in the airline industry."Most of us would admit that it is not always easy to accept viewpoints that are different to our own. That's where tolerance not only plays a very important role, but can offer a great opportunity. Tolerance towards other people can be a huge catalyst in sparking great new ideas and smarter ways of working," Mr. Hogan said.The airline employs nearly 27,000 staff, representing more than 140 nationalities to support its 117 destination network across six continents.To mark the International Day for Tolerance, a number of activities are being held in Abu Dhabi involving partner organisations.A photo exhibition is taking place at Zayed University, displaying the diversity of Etihad Airways' network, accompanied by a video highlighting the multinational nature of the airline's staff, and how tolerance is practiced throughout the organisation.Tomorrow (16 November) will see Etihad staff join representatives from Zayed University and Abu Dhabi Airports Company to distribute gift packs to hundreds of labourers. The packs will include elements of the airline's onboard amenity kits, clothes and blankets.From 17 to 19 November, the 3rd Etihad Airways World Aviation Football Cup will take place at the university to unite teams from Asia, America, Australia, Europe and Africa in a fun and friendly environment.

Video: Coolio Makes Deep-Fried Turkey
What is rap star (and now cookbook author) Coolio's mantra for perfect turkey? "The mo' injections, the merrier." He recommends botoxing your bird with a syringe filled with tequila, diced garlic, "regular Italian dressing," a dollop-uh (the Coolio pronunciation of dollop) of honey, balsamic vinegar, pepper (measured in dime bags not teaspoons), soy sauce, and few other pantry items.
After plumping up the bird ("It went from a B-cup to a D-cup!") Coolio throws it into the deep-fryer. But he warns, and this video is just full of life wisdom, do not fry the bird indoors. You will burn down your house and have to buy a new one. Watch the video, after the jump.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Alex Kirk knew of former New Mexico standout and NBA player Kenny Thomas, but didn't know he had just surpassed him.
Kirk set a New Mexico freshman scoring record with 31 points Wednesday night as the Lobos defeated Cal State Bakersfield 102-62.
Kirk, who was 11 of 13 from the field and 7 of 8 from the free-throw line, more than tripled his previous high of 10 points, matching that figure with 8:31 left in the first half.
"My father told me about Kenny Thomas," said Kirk, a 6-foot-11 post player. "I know he was a great player. I didn't even think about (setting the record), I just kept playing."
New Mexico coach Steve Alford said Kirk keeps improving. "For him to have a night like this, this early in his career is surprising."
Thomas held the previous Lobos freshman scoring record with 30 points in 1996.
New Mexico (12-3) and Bakersfield (8-7) traded leads eight times and were tied 20-all before the Lobos went on a 16-0 run. New Mexico ended the first half on a 30-9 run to lead 50-29 at the break and converted 14 of its last 21 shots to end the half.
Kirk finished the first half with 13 points, then scored the first seven points of the second half for the Lobos.

Hurricane Sandy Fundraiser – BusyBeeBlogger.com
Image of the Long Beach Board Walk following Sandy via HaveUHeard
As I said in my previous post about Hurricane Sandy, she's a real b!tch. Unfortunately many of those who lost everything in her wake, are still going without the basic necessities. THAT is something that this little busy bee cannot sit idly by and take.
BusyBeeBlogger.com is holding a fundraiser here on the left coast for those hit by Sandy on the East Coast. There will be a cocktail party with prizes here in SoCal, with all the benefits going to non-profits in New Jersey and New York.
The event is scheduled for early December and all are welcome to attend.
If you are not in the SoCal area and want to help, you can private message me on my Facebook page.
We already have two sponsors on board.
Fabellini Sparkling Wine *by The Real Housewives of New Jersey member Teresa Giudice*
But that's not all…
BusyBeeBlogger is also adopting THREE FAMILIES WHO LOST EVERYTHING due to Sandy. They have not asked us for help, but I cannot sit here and just talk about how "tragic" the whole thing is. I will be collecting items that the families need, especially gift cards, such as Target, JCP, Old Navy. I was told that those would be the most helpful. One of the mothers said her family's clothes STILL smell like oil from the flooding even though she's washed them 9 times. Let's get them some new clothes, ok?!
More details on the event to come!

Henning Larsen Architects, working in partnership with the Dutch Van der Berg Groep, have won first prize in the competition to design a new Theater and Zoo entrance in Emmen, The Netherlands. The 16,000 square meter facility will provide flexible exhibition and conference spaces with two performance stages. The ingenious geometric forms of the structure work with the surrounding landscape and natural environment to create an energy-efficient space that promises to provide a dramatic entrance to the 10-hectare wildlife park.
Henning Larsen's winning design enables a wide variety of uses while enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the New Emmen Theater. The 1,150 capacity theater will be composed of several levels beneath its flowing, dome-like roof, which is itself designed to reflect the arc of an animal's spine. Within the heater floating walls allow for rooms to be reconfigured as needed, ensuring that spaces are always appropriate to the events they host, and that resources are not wasted on maintaining climate control in unused spaces.
The building's windows and facades point to an emphasis on efficiency as well. Large windows along the north facade and small windows along the southern expanse respond to the available light and heat, while skylights in the building's hallways suffuse the interior with natural light.
A large green space is nestled within a bowl-shaped dip in the theater's roof-line, which is designed to serve as a hidden urban oasis and a thoroughly public meeting space in the ilk of a town square. Large overhangs emerging from the structure's frame keep the area cool and shaded for public enjoyment during warm sunny days. During rainfall, the entire green space will become a valuable site for rainwater collection, helping to keep the building cool while feeding the rainwater to fountains, ponds and canals on the site of the Essen Theater and Zoo.
Beyond the sustainable and innovative scope of the design, Henning Larsen were keen to create a visual and conceptual bridge between the gated nature of the wildlife park and the surrounding urban environment. The architects describe the project: "[v]iewed from the city, it opens up as a magic window towards the natural wildlife in the zoo – while the city is staged as a large urban universe viewed from the zoo." The international competition included entries from architecture firms MVRDV and Mecanoo. The inauguration of this wildly creative Theater and Zoo Entrance is planned for 2015.

Last night's baking adventure kinda took all day because of making the dulce de leche. It's really simple, just have to simmer a can of sweetened condensed milk for 3 hours, but still, that's three hours you have to wait to get this awesome, tasty caramel. Of course, you could just pour it on some ice cream, or dip some apples into it. But I made dulce de leche brownies. I used the recipe for brownies that I've been using since I got the kid's cookbook. (when I was around 12). They are really gooey, fudgy brownies to begin with, and the addition of dulce de leche just made that that much gooier and fudgier. Since I just folded in the duce de leche (there wasn't enough to spread out an even layer) the brownies just look like brownies. Next time, I will make two cans, instead of one, and make brownie-dulce de leche layers. Also, I could've tried baking regular brownies, and then just pouring on the dulce de leche; that would have been the easiest, but messiest way to go, I think. Ah, so many options. I guess I am going to have to make these again some time. Anyway, here is the brownie recipe, and I found out about making dulce de leche from this blog, Not Without Salt. They have links to learn more about dulce de leche, and also links to recipes to use the dulce de leche. I really like the pictures they took, too.
Fudge Brownies
3/4 c cocoa
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2/3 cup oil
3/4 c water
2 c sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
2 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 1/3 c flour
put cocoa, baking soda, and 1/3 cup oil into a bowl. mix well. boil water. measure 1/2 cup of boiling water and add to bowl. mix till mixture thickens. add sugar and vanilla to bowl and mix well. add remaining 1/3 cup of oil, eggs, and salt to bowl. mix well. add flour to bowl and mix well. pour cake mixture into 13×11 cake pan. bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour.
for the dulce de leche brownies, I baked them for a little longer (perhaps a little too long, the edges were a little over done, and they were really chewy.) for regular, even fudgier brownies, I like to bake them in a smaller pan, either 8×8 or 9×9, whichever I have around.

Boston University is teaming with the Boston Public Health Commission (BPHC) and the Boston Centers for Youth & Family (BCYF) to launch the Boston University Health, Fitness and Wellness Program in the South End Blackstone Community Center, which is expected to be finished by early 2013, according to BU Today.
The partnership was born after the parties joined in the city's initiative to bring free and low-cost fitness and wellness programs to at-risk communities. Boston University will invest $1.25 million during the next five years to the programs to provide more access and wellness programs in a renovated section of the Blackstone Community Center. The $1.25 million will also help fund 100 summer camp scholarships for area youth and the donation of two hours of ice time each week for the Allston-Brighton Youth Hockey league at the university's Walter Brown Arena this fall.
The 2,000-square-foot Blackstone Community Center will be renovated to include a personal training space and up to 25 pieces of equipment. Staff and student employees from the university's college of health and rehabilitation sciences will supervise and train the BCYF staff. Other colleges at the university will also volunteer at the center, including the schools of medicine, public health, social work and the department of physical education, recreation and dance.
"We are so excited about the new fitness center that will be built here at the BCYF Blackstone Community Center," says Daphne Griffin, chief of human services for the City of Boston and executive director of Boston Centers for Youth & Families. "But, even more important to us than the equipment is the fitness training, nutrition counseling and wellness programming that will be incorporated into this new partnership. And best of all, the community will participate in shaping the programs that will be offered at the fitness centers."

So, did you stick with hazelnuts or did you go rogue? Do you like the crunchy-ness of this one? Do tell!
12 thoughts on "Tuesday Chatter"
I had a ridiculously long debate with myself at the grocery store over hazelnuts or almonds… I seriously had a tough time deciding. In the end, I went with almonds and of course they came out fabulously. And considering how hot it's been here, I appreciated that this recipe was super quick to pull together.
Almonds and Frangelico liqueur for me … what a super combination. My first biscotti will not be my last!!
I really enjoyed the recipe.. went with roasted almonds and chocolate chips!!
1 x Hazelnut
1 x Almond
1 x Hazelnut – Almond – Raisins
… just to be sure :-)
The flour I've used was not only AP but also Whole Wheat.
but after having seen so many chocolate version so far… I'll definitely try it:
I'm on my 4th day without power during a heat wave in DC. So, no baking for me but I will enjoy your posts.
Ugg! Hope you get power back soon!

The "We're Listening" Blog Series: Improving the TAC Experience Through Intelligent Case Routing
In this month's installment of the "We're Listening" blog series, Steve Young discusses customer feedback to the Technical Assistance Center (TAC), and what his team is doing to address your main concerns with TAC support. Steve is Director of the TAC's Service Delivery Transformation efforts.
By Guest Contributor Steve Young
You've shared a lot about your experience with the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) – the many positive experiences as well as areas for improvement. We continuously review these multiple sources of customer listening data to ensure we are addressing your biggest concerns with your support experience.
One of your main concerns is not getting to the right expert right away. When you have an issue, you don't want to be bounced around the TAC.
In response, we've implemented intelligent matching into our case management routing engine. Now, when you contact Cisco for technical support, our routing engine uses multiple characteristics to match your issue to the right TAC expert. These characteristics include what we know about you, your issue, our available engineers and their expertise
We use the technology, sub-technology and problem code you provide when you open a case and match that against our available engineer's skills profiles. For example, if you were to contact technical support with a concern about your Cisco Firewall, you might enter "Security: Network Firewalls and Intrusion Prevention Systems" for the technology, "FWSM (Firewall Services Module)" for the sub-technology, and "Configuration Assistance" for the problem code. We would evaluate available Security/Firewall engineers for their experience and skill level with configuration issues on the Firewall Services Module and connect you with the best expert to solve the problem.
Since implementing this new capability, we've seen a decline in negative feedback around getting to the right expert. Where it used to be your top verbatim complaint in our Walker Customer Satisfaction survey, it is no longer a "top three" item.
To continue this improvement trend, we will further invest in our routing engine to intelligently match you to the right engineer, adding characteristics such as case history and language to the system over the next several months.
This is one of the many changes you can expect to see as we transform our business processes and tools to bring you a better support experience. Look for an upcoming blog update on this transformation, when we'll explain how the TAC teams are using collaboration to solve your problems faster.
