The Heart of the Matter #3: Pasta - The Roundup
This months HotM theme was heart healthy pasta and I somehow knew that we would have quite a few delicious entries coming in. There are all sort of pasta dishes to choose from and it's really nice to see so many new participants, I have even discovered new food blogs this time and that is the way it should be in this type of events, not only does it enrich your choice of recipes but also enrich your food blog reading list (as if it wasn't too long already). I better get started because the list of entries is long and life is short but I just want to thank all of you who have participated in this month's HotM and I hope that you will continue to do it!
We need to look after our hearts to different degrees, some of us have to be more careful with what we eat while others just want to eat healthy in general or because their family history urges them to do it and because of our different needs you have to adapt these dishes yourself. Some of them includes cheese which is not the best to eat for people who want to exclude animal fats but then it's up to you to exclude it or maybe use less of it.
These are the entries in the order of arrival (i.e. the order in which I received them):
First of all was Joanna from Joanna's food, she was so quick that she didn't even have the time to take a photo of her Pasta con le sarde before it was all gone! Sardines are really good for the heart and so is her pasta dish!
Next it was me with Bell pepper and basil pasta, a really simple dish to make.
Next we have The Rosy Pescetarian who presents us with a very nice green Spinach Papardelle with Tuscan Kale, created from her finds at the Farmer's Market.
Aagje from Leafy Cooking who has come up with a super healthy Pasta with whipped up tomato sauce and ground almonds instead of cheese that sounds really tasty!
Sophie from Mostly Eating is back, this time she has made a Fennel and Tomato Lasagne and as she is a dietis, she even provides us with a lot of information about it!
Next entry to arrive came from my Swedish food blogging friend Anne from Anne's Food whose Pasta with Avocado & Cashew Pesto surely will find its way onto many tables.
The Heart Healthy Pasta with Quick Tomato Sauce from Christine of Christine Cooks sounds like a really savoury dish because she uses fire roasted tomatoes, you better check it out for yourselves.
Joanna posted another recipe, this time it was for Superquick noodles for lunch and I asked her to make it an entry for the HotM even though she wasn't sure if noodles could be considered pasta. Well, I do consider it as pasta, not Italian but technically it's pasta so here it is. But they really must be hungry in that house because there is not photo this time either...
When I saw Laura's recipe of Linguine with Purple Sprouting Broccoli over at EAT DRINK LIVE I just had to ask her to submit it for the HotM, especially as we both share a love for really good balsamic vinegar!
I posted a recipe with Anaheim Peppers, Fresh Tomatoes, Basil and Pin nuts.
Over at Mele Cotte Chris went shopping at the Farmer's market and went home to make a luscious Lamb Shoulder w/ Herb Tagliatelle in Roma Tomato Sauce that definitely is worth taking a look at!
Lisa who has the vegetarian blog Lisa's Kitchen was felt inspired and made a very nice looking Penne with Fennel, Tomato and Blue Cheese so click over and get inspired.
An very intriguing Wild garlic mustard pesto for the heart is what Annie of Bon Appegeek has beeing cooking up for this month's theme, I just wish I could find wild garlic
because it sounds so good!
Amy of Nook & Pantry has been cooking up Pasta Puttanesca especially for the HotM and she sure has been doing it well! Check it out!
I really like grilled vegetables and I'm happy to include The Left Over Queen's recipe for Whole Wheat Pasta With Grilled Vegetables in this roundup!
We can even offer you heart healthy a creamy pasta sauce, Honeybee from Beurre et pain has made Pasta with mixed mushrooms, greek yoghurt and herbs that is really tempting!
Mooncrazy over at Peanut Butter Etouffee gives us the recipe to a pasta dish she and her sister Doodles 'forced' their mother to make when they visited home, Pasta with mushrooms, check it out, maybe your mother made it too!
A very different pasta recipe comes from Jugalbandi who have (they are two) submitted their Pasta with Black Bean-Chipotle Salsa, a dish full of healthiness to be tried!
Despite being on the road in search for adventures, Doodles of Peanut Butter Etouffee has posted a sketch of a filling pasta salad to make. If you are not sure about which type of oil your bought in a bottle dressing has, you make one of your own!
Joanna and I obviously get so excited about each challenge that we can't resist coming up with several entries for the event (you can do that too) and this third and last pasta dish by Joanna (this time with a photo!) sounds really tasty: Mushroom and tarragon sauce for pasta!
Over at One Hot Stove Nupur has been cooking up a delicious pasta dish with lentils, tomatoes and argula that looks lovely, do take a look at her Hearty Heart-Lovin' Pasta.
Lorraine has entered a really simple to make yet delicious Penne al tonno e limone or Penne with tuna and lemon that is well worth checking out! Over at her blog Italian Foodies you find Italian food a gogo!
We have another Indian entry, this time it's from Live To Cook who has made a comforting bowl of Slow cooker Dhal Pasta for us, spicy and full of flavours!
My last entry was Pasta with Carrots, Onion, Thyme and Pine nuts.
Tanna is leaving for Austria in a couple of days but that didn't prevent her from making a really good Roasted Tomato Sauce for Pasta for us that I hope you will take a closer look at over at My Kitchen In Half Cups. (Sorry, I couldn't upload your photo)
Over at Definitely Not Martha you will find a really interesting recipe for mango chicken madness that looks soo good! Take a look for yourselves.
A round up of pasta dishes wouldn't be complete without an Italian entry, Kebrunella has cooked up some Orecchiette con pate' d'olive e carciofi al profumo di salmone affumicato, pasta with olive paste, artichokes and smoked salmon that should be tried!
And to conclude, I 'forced' the two Italian friends of Cuoche dell'altro mondo to participate with their Organic Whole wheat spaghetti with a pesto of oil, garlic, basil, fennel and sesame seeds because I didn't want you to miss it!
So many entries this time and if I have made a mess with links or photos, please tell me! And if you don't want me to include your photo, please tell me and I will remove it!
Next month's theme will be revealed by Joanna over at Joanna's Food and here in the next couple of days because this time it's her turn to hold the reins!

You can get wild garlic in most damp, woody places in UK, but I've never been brave enough to try it since someone once told me it was poisonous and I believed them! I think it was a wind up, but am not brave enough to call their bluff! Thanks for all the recipe ideas.

Thanks for this tremendous round up. I missed to join, but I´ll be back next time. What delicious recipes you collected. I have to read them closely, and I´m sure I´ll find more than one to be attached to my favorites list.

It is at times like these that I am very happy that BeautyFix has come along. If it wasn't for their program, I would have never tried Kerstin's Florian Spa Face Aromatherapy Neroli Water on my own… I would have gone on clueless that this fabulous product even existed.
Kerstin's Florian Spa Face Aromatherapy Neroli Water is all natural water with orange blossom to soothe and hydrate skin. You can use it on your face as well as on any other part of your body that needs soothing. So far, my favorite use for this has been spritzing this on after waxing. It does a great job of soothing and calming all the inflamed skin I just finished waxing. It is also a great way to moisturize your skin if you're feeling a little a dry and don't want to put on more moisturizer. I reach for this while I'm working to try and improve some dry areas of my skin.
Can I just say how good this stuff smells? The name says it all… neroli orange blossom. It's a total treat to just spray this on. I use to carry a little spray bottle of Evian water around with me but once I started using Kerstin's Florian Spa Face Aromatherapy Neroli Water, I ditched it and keep this in my bag instead. Plus the pump is a little more eco-friendly. 🙂

Welcome to the Kumoricon Forums! Remember: Have fun! – Forum code of conduct.
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
I, for one, am very excited to see (erm... read?) what happens tomorrow. And that sounds very yummy; too bad I'm a vegetarian! xD
News: Several judges are reporting that they can't make it - we will have a thin crew this time. However I am hoping for a couple of new faces, too.In any case we should have some great results.
Quote from: Prinz Eugen on July 29, 2011, 09:52:08 pmNews: Several judges are reporting that they can't make it - we will have a thin crew this time.The Analyst in me wonders if a small set of judges means less group moderation (that is, less of a tendency for the majority opinion to be mainstream) and that outlier AMVs might have a slightly (but randomly) better chance than they would normally. (I'm not expressing concern nor looking for an answer. I'm just naturally curious about group dynamics.)
News: Several judges are reporting that they can't make it - we will have a thin crew this time.
Personally I prefer a larger crowd and I like to mix up ages, political alignments, and walks of life, etc. as much as I can.
Quote from: Mitsukai Mizu Amaya on July 29, 2011, 08:06:40 pmI, for one, am very excited to see (erm... read?) what happens tomorrow. And that sounds very yummy; too bad I'm a vegetarian! xDWell - I turned up diabetic this past April and I am making endeavours to control everything and learn as much as I can.It's a pain because I don't really like vegetables, but I have to eat them in overwhelming volume with most meals. Weeds! Ugh!(snip)
Hear, hear! No diabetes yet, but it runs on my mother's side...
with the result being that I have to eat a lot more vegetables than I'd prefer to stay healthy. (Well, that and because I'm trying to trim down my weight.)
One thing I've found to be a lifesaver has been Bacon Salt. It sounds like a joke, but it tastes almost exactly like bacon. No calories, and it makes a lot of vegetables go from *ugh* to delicious.
On the actual topic, just out of curiosity... what qualifications do you need in an AMV judge, and are you still considering people?
And my BG is now 90. I was at 81 before the meal. See what a nice, low-carb dinner & a glass of wine can do?I get to save my vision if I keep this up! (But dammit I could go for a banana split...)If my numbers stay nice over the next 2 hrs then I should be able to skip insulin - and that will be the 2nd day in a row.I'm type 2 - so getting off insulin is like taking the training wheels of when learning to bike.
Church pews for free?
I start a new forum thread under Fan Creations > AMV, and in between cooking and serving (and working on the contest OP, etc) I send updates - about hourly if I can - with the latest developments, quips by the judges, etc.I usually start with a summary of total # of entries, anime series used, and where they all came from.Feedback makes it more FUN, so please don't just LURK.
I hope there are some interesting/fun/surprising comments that you'll be able to share from the judges once that portion gets underway.
"This is one I'd show my friends if I didn't want them to be my friends anymore..."
For me, personally, this is not great news. A first-timer competing against a floatilla of veteran producers/creators/artists... my odds are not good. I was hoping for a light number of entries to improve my chances. Simple fare does not distinguish itself well from a buffet of gourmet dishes. But whatever shall be, shall be.
I hope you guys are having loads of fun there! (Plus good eats, besides.)
-smacks Angel- Don't you be talking like that DDD<
Don't put yourself down like that; I'm sure you'll do just fine. n.n If you don't get in this year, there's always next.
Quip: "Why do I get the feeling that the editor of this AMV wears black nail polish?"
Good girl n.nEDIT... erm, sorry if you''re not a girl xD
Hee! Gothic is fun to watch, too!
Whether the videos are good or bad, I would think that the variety is great fun. Change-ups are good.
I bet my entry was in 'slow' xD;;;Can't wait to see the final results! What category's are left after Instrumental?
@ Mitsukai & Angel - thx for keeping me company ... !
Do Re Re Re
Ah. Stunning List. I can see this is pretty much Game Over for me, though. The competition is too steep, for sure, as my piece is fairly simplistic, and the numbers are totally against me. *sigh*

The following photograph, NASA's image of the day, is not only awesome, it illustrates two very cool scientific ideas that explain why the water bubble is floating, and why it doesn't break.
1. Microgravity: The International Space Station is well within Earth's gravitational field. In fact if it were stationary it would feel about 90 percent of the gravity we feel standing on the Earth. However, because the station is in "free fall" around the planet, objects aboard it are weightless. Thus, the ball of water is floating in the picture.
2. Surface tension: Outside of mercury, water has the greatest surface tension of any liquid. This is because the bonds between water molecules are very strong, and at the surface they're even stronger because there are fewer water molecules to cling to. This surface layer creates a considerable barrier between the water and the atmosphere. So the water bubble doesn't break.

Things are hopping at The Empress for Valentines! And this morning Sharon went on KARK TV with Matt Mosler and talked about the great special packages available for this most Romantic of special days. She presented a decadent recipe for "Red Velvet Souffle' " both on KARK Channel 4 and KATV Channel 7 on Saturday. See that great recipe below.
We still have a few rooms with hydro massage showers and" jacuzzis" available for this Valentines Day. And since everyone is so busy with little time to do the extras, Annette and Deborah can take care of all kinds of details like champagne, a beautiful Valentine box of chocolates and romantic votive candles to set the stage for that last minute getaway. Since The Empress of Little Rock was named the #4 most Romantic Bed and Breakfast in America just last fall, let us show you what romance means. We can even line up a romantic carriage ride through the beautiful Quapaw Quarter Historic District or a couples double massage right in your own room.
Here's that great recipe:Red Velvet Soufflés With Whipped Sour Cream1 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp. granulated sugar
1 (4-oz.) bittersweet chocolate baking bar, chopped
5 large eggs, separated
1/3 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. red liquid food coloring
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
Powdered sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of 6 (8-oz.) ramekins with butter. Lightly coat with 3 Tbsp. sugar, shaking out excess. Place on a baking sheet. Microwave chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 minute to 1 minute and 15 seconds or until melted, stirring at 30-second intervals. Stir in 4 eggs yolks, ¼ cup sugar, and next 3 ingredients. (Discard remaining egg yolk.)
Beat 5 egg whites and salt at high speed with a heavy-duty electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add 2 Tbsp. sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold egg white mixture into chocolate mixture, one-third at a time. Spoon into prepared ramekins. Run tip of thumb around edges of ramekins, wiping clean and creating a shallow indention around edges of mixture. (This will help the soufflés rise.)
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 24 minutes or until soufflés rise and are set. (A long wooden pick inserted in centers will have a few moist crumbs.) Dust with powdered sugar; serve immediately with whipped sour cream.
Whipped Sour Cream Makes about 2 cups
¼ cup whipping cream, ½ cup sour cream, 2 Tbsp. sugar
Beat together all ingredients at medium to high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer 45 seconds or just until lightly whipped and pourable. Serve whipped sour cream immediately.

iPhone 6 isn't simply bigger — it's better in every way. Larger, yet dramatically thinner. More powerful, but remarkably power efficient. With a smooth metal surface that seamlessly meets the new Retina HD display. It's one continuous form where hardware and software function in perfect unison, creating a new generation of iPhone that's better by any measure.
iPhone At Its Largest. And Thinnest.
Developing an iPhone with a larger, more advanced display meant pushing the edge of design. From the seamless transition of glass and metal to the streamlined profile, every detail was carefully considered to enhance your experience. So while its display is larger, iPhone 6 feels just right.
Not Just A Bigger Display. A Better Display.
It's one thing to make a bigger display. It's something else entirely to make a bigger Multi‑Touch display with brilliant colors and higher contrast at even wider viewing angles. But that's exactly what we did with the new Retina HD display.
Hugely Powerful. Enormously Efficient.
Built on 64-bit desktop-class architecture, the new A8 chip delivers more power, even while driving a larger display. The M8 motion coprocessor efficiently gathers data from advanced sensors and a new barometer. And with increased battery life, iPhone 6 lets you do more, for longer than ever.
The Camera That Changed Photos Now Does The Same For Video.
More people take more photos with iPhone than with any other camera. And now the iSight camera has a new sensor with Focus Pixels and new video features, like 1080p HD at 60 fps, slo-mo at 240 fps, and time-lapse video mode. So you'll have more reasons to capture more moments on video, too.
Faster wireless.
A superfast connection can make you feel like the whole world is within reach. That's why iPhone 6 has faster LTE download speeds.That's also why it has more LTE bands than any other smartphone. iPhone 6 supports more advanced wireless technologies to boost performance and help you connect to the things — and people — that matter most.
Security. Right At Your Fingertip.
The breakthrough Touch ID technology lets you securely access your iPhone with the perfect password: your fingerprint. You can also use it to approve purchases from iTunes, iBooks, and the App Store without having to enter your password.
Your Wallet. Without The Wallet.
We completely rethought how you pay to make shopping easy, secure, and private. Apple Pay combines the convenience and security of Touch ID and Passbook with NFC technology. So you can use iPhone 6 to pay in stores and within apps with a single touch.

College of Pharmacy to team with local teachers to help build Hawaiʻi
UH Hilo Home > News and Events > UH Hilo Press Releases
Date: Thursday, August 18, 2011
Contact: Alyson Kakugawa-Leong, (808) 974-7642
For Immediate Release
A collaboration between the Hawaiʻi Department of Education and the University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo College of Pharmacy (CoP) should result in more students understanding engineering concepts and possibly choosing careers that will help build a better Hawaiʻi. The program will be funded through the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center on Structured Organic Particulate Systems (NSF-ERC-SOPS), with UH Hilo as an outreach partner.
As a first step, CoP Dean John Pezzuto greeted 26 principals and administrators from the Hilo-Laupahoehoe-Waiakea Complex at the College of Pharmacy classroom on UH Hilo campus for a leadership session August 12.
Ken Morris, professor of pharmaceutical sciences, presented them with a plan for workshops to help their teachers by providing tools they need to inspire students to look into engineering careers. If successful, the plan is to offer the workshop to all Big Island school complexes.
"Engineering represents a huge opportunity to address many issues on the Big Island from energy generation to the observatories, to roads and bridges," Morris said. "K-12 students could benefit from more exposure to these concepts so they can get excited about careers in these important developmental fields. Teachers who teach science, technology, engineering and math, also known as the STEM disciplines, are key to communicating that excitement."
Under the leadership of Complex Area Superintendent Valerie Takata, schools will be invited to nominate one or two STEM faculty members for a one-week STEM Training workshop to be offered on campus in December and January. The course will combine classroom instruction with hands-on laboratory exercises that focus on understanding engineering concepts and methods.
"I am confident that our educators will want to take advantage of this exciting chance to learn about an area that has the potential to strengthen the Hilo community," Takata said. "Partnerships are key, and I'm so impressed with everything the UH Hilo College of Pharmacy has done in such a short time."
A key partner that is connecting CoP with local school administrators is the Hawaiʻi "Journey through the Universe" project at the Gemini Observatory. Janice Harvey, community outreach and education programs leader, is advising and linking the CoP-driven effort with her network after eight years of collaborative projects with the school system.
"We are very proud of the 'Journey through the Universe' project, which is one of only 10 in the nation and completely self sustaining," Harvey said. "That's what makes working with the UH Hilo College of Pharmacy exciting. We're all working to help Hilo recharge. We know our success is based on STEM education. It's all about the kids."
Morris, who is a highly published researcher in pharmaceutical materials science, process modeling and control, and dosage form design, will be the instructor. Anthony Wright, chair of the Ph.D. program for CoP and a highly published scientist in marine pharmaceutical natural products, also will be involved. In addition, Raj Dave, distinguished professor of engineering at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), will be both an instructor and advisor for the College on the engineering-specific content of the workshop.
Professor Henrik Pedersen, the ERC-SOPS education and outreach director from Rutgers University, will be the ERC assessment lead and UH Hilo Interim Vice Chancellor for Research and Outreach Dan Brown will be the coordinator for the project at UH Hilo.

Prep reporters should spend their time talking about the high schools they cover, so I don't spend too much time writing about professional sports. But today the playoff picture was on my mind, and if you know me, you know painting those intrigue me.
To me, the Broncos had the AFC West locked up three weeks ago. It's almost official now, but the Willis McGahee injury might put a strain on their hopes of locking up a bye. Since the old adage is true — that anybody can beat anybody on any given Sunday — a bye is important. Especially since it also means a home game.
If the Broncos can rely on one of their backs to eat some yardage and protect Peyton Manning, then their Super Bowl hopes aren't lost. (Check out this story for more on that: http://bit.ly/Y0w4UV.)
Here's how I see the AFC playoff picture playing out:
Houston Texans (currently 9-1, predicted finish 13-3): Detroit W, Tennessee W, New England L (I like the Patriots at home), Indianapolis W, Minnesota W, Indy L (at the Colts who are playing for positioning, and Houston has No. 1 locked up, gimme Luck).
Baltimore Ravens (currently 8-2, predicted finish 12-4): San Diego W (although I wouldn't be terribly surprised if they might trip up here), Pittsburgh L, Washington W, Denver W (only because McGahee is out and it's in Baltimore), N.Y. Giants L (just a hunch), Cincinnati W.
New England Patriots (currently 7-3, predicted finish 12-4): N.Y. Jets W, Miami W, Houston W, San Francisco L (tough call), Jacksonville W, Miami W.
Denver Broncos (currently 7-3, predicted finish 12-4): Kansas City W, Tampa Bay W, Oakland W, Baltimore L (see above), Cleveland W, Kansas City W.
Pittsburgh Steelers (currently 6-4, predicted finish 11-5): Cleveland W, Baltimore W, San Diego W, Dallas L, Cincinnati W, Cleveland W.
Indianapolis Colts (currently 6-4, predicted finish 11-5): Buffalo W, Detroit W, Tennessee W, Houston L, Kansas City W, Houston W (see above).
San Diego Chargers (currently 4-6, predicted finish 8-8): Baltimore L, Cincinnati W, Pittsburgh L, Carolina W, N.Y. Jets W, Oakland W.
Cincinnati Bengals (currently 5-5, predicted finish 8-8): Oakland W, San Diego L (the Chargers aren't THAT bad, Dallas W, Philadelphia W, Pittsburgh L, Baltimore L.
What it means:
The Texans and Ravens would get the byes. No. 3 New England would host No. 6 Indianapolis, and No. 4 Denver would host No. 5 Pittsburgh.

Below is the eval script from Throwing Mastery & I can see "Helper.PwrThrown" in the script. I can make the damage STR-based, but can't find a way to mark it as 'thrown'. Assistance, please?
Below is the eval script from Throwing Mastery & I can see "Helper.PwrThrown" in the script.
EDIT: Ok, I found out how to do it by making a copy of pxReach (the one based on Ranged) and adding a second eval script:
Code: Select all
~ If we're not active, get out
doneif (activated = 0)
~ Iterate through our throwing weapons, adding our ranks as a bonus to each
foreach pick in hero from Weapon where "wpType.RngThrow"
eachpick.field[atkDC].value += field[adRanks].value
~ Do the same with our throw-ranged powers
foreach pick in hero from Power where "Helper.PwrThrown"
eachpick.field[atkDC].value += field[adRanks].value
I then put 'pxReach' in the 'Replaces Thing Id' box. However, it would be nice if there were a check-box to do 'out-of-the-box' this instead of our having to edit the data-files (hint-hint to the dev team... )
Code: Select all
perform parent.assign[Helper.PwrThrown]

SOUTHWEST RANCHES, Fla. - The Broward Sheriff's Office was looking for thieves Tuesday who stole a horse and then slaughtered it about two blocks from its home in Southwest Ranches.
About 7 a.m. Saturday, David Sangiao-Parga told deputies Marco, his 8-year-old retired race horse, had been stolen on Friday from Just Perfect Landscaping at 5345 Southwest 210th Terrace. Marco was rescued after breaking his leg several years ago.
The thieves climbed a fence and led the horse away from the stables along a canal bank on the back of the property, said deputies. A second horse was left behind.
The stolen horse was found about two blocks away at South Eastern Fish Farms about 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Deputies said the hind quarters and two large sections of the horse's back had been removed.
"It's hard, I think, for people who don't own a horse to understand because it's a different kind of bond you have with pets," said Sangiao-Parga. "They have, you know, it's almost like another family member."
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call BSO at 954-765-4321.

I'm Michel Martin, and this is TELL ME MORE, from NPR News. Now it's time for Faith Matters. At this time just about every week, we dig into matters of faith and spirituality. And so today, we are going to spend some time talking about the important religious holidays being observed by many this weekend.
Passover starts tonight, and we'll talk about why wine aficionados need no longer turn up their noses at kosher wines. That's later.
But first, we are going to talk about Easter, observed this weekend in the Western calendar, next weekend in the Eastern Orthodox Church. The 40 days of Lent, Holy Week and today, Good Friday, is a time of sacrifice and reflection. President Obama talked about sacrifice earlier this week at his Easter Prayer Breakfast.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: The struggle to fathom that unfathomable sacrifice makes Easter all the more meaningful to all of us. It helps us to provide an eternal perspective to whatever temporal challenges we face.
MARTIN: We were thinking, though, that accepting that perspective might be hard, especially when those temporal challenges - as the president put it - can be so very difficult - losing jobs, losing homes, just trying to stay afloat.
Pastor Rudy Rasmus confronts these issues every day in his church, St. John's Downtown in Houston, Texas .So we thought this was a good time to catch up with him to talk about how he is encouraging his parishioners to maintain hope.
Pastor Rudy, thanks so much for joining us once again. Happy Easter to you.
PASTOR RUDY RASMUS: Hello, Michel. Good to be here.
MARTIN: Now, your church has more than 8,000 members, from all walks of life. And we've checked in with you previously about how people were weathering the recession. And so we wanted to ask you how you are encouraging people - particularly during the Lenten period, which is a period that emphasizes sacrifice - when many people probably already feel they're sacrificing, just maintaining.
RASMUS: This unique congregation that I'm a part of - with 8,000 people from every neighborhood in Houston, so 150 zip codes, every socioeconomic group, every demographic. And you bring a diverse group of people like that together, you see sacrifice from many different perspectives, as dire as the homeless men and women that we serve every day, to people who are, in their own right, very wealthy.
So we talk about the fact that it's not always about an equal gift, but an equal sacrifice. So to a person who is homeless and attempting to put together bus fare, you know, in essence, to give up maybe that one item that means the world could be a huge sacrifice for that person.
I think the most extreme were some folk who gave up sex for this time. There are many folk who have sacrificed a meal. But what really happens - when you make a sacrifice that's meaningful, it gives you a chance to reflect on what's really important. And, in essence, we call it keeping the main thing the main thing.
MARTIN: We're speaking with Pastor Rudy Rasmus. He's senior pastor at St. John's Downtown in Houston, Texas. That's a church he co-pastors with his wife, Juanita. We're talking about how he's observing the Easter season.
So now we've traveled through Lent. Today is Good Friday, and such a crucial time in the Christian calendar, on to Easter Sunday. Have you thought about what your message will be?
RASMUS: Yeah. I've been reflecting on that. And in Judaism, you know, resurrections really meant a physical resurrection, in essence, the person coming back to life. And, in our context, there are a lot of things that have died. For instance, our economy has been very challenged and people's financial lives have passed. You know, there are relationships that, in many cases, as a result of the financial challenges, have come undone, just undue stress and the love has died.
You know, what I'm going to encourage on Sunday is to believe in the fact that this hope means that whatever has died in our life of meaning and of value can be restored, and it can come back better than ever.
MARTIN: What are you saying to people who just - I don't know if you have people in your congregation who you're kind of particularly worried about, who you feel might really be on the edge of despair.
RASMUS: You know, connecting the fact that this physical resurrection is more than just sort of a spiritual resurgence, but to imagine that a person's life was dead and now has come back fully, hope is really the essence of this moment. And for the hopeless to imagine - if you can wrap your mind around a person coming back to life, then anything else that might be of challenge in your life has the possibility of coming back again.
So when we think about folk who have lost homes, lost jobs and haven't been able to find work, hope is a huge message. And I'm telling you, I am encouraging people to believe. You know, the power of belief and then the power of shared belief - when you get a few folk around you who also are believing that good can come out of a tragic situation, it is amazing how that kind of spreads into the spirit of the person who might be undergoing just some insurmountable challenges. So, really, hope and the possibility of restoration is really what it's about for me.
MARTIN: Is there anything in particular this Easter Sunday that's giving you hope and that's inspiring you as you prepare to address your congregants this weekend?
RASMUS: You know, I'm just recently back from a trip to India and there, I encountered despair at an unprecedented scale. And, while there, I had a chance to reflect on three things.
One, you know, my hope at being a better husband, even a better devotee of Christ and becoming even a better friend. You know, as I kind of think back on how quickly life goes and how precious life is, I'm really using this time, hoping for a more effective life in the days ahead.
MARTIN: Rudy Rasmus is senior pastor at St. John's Downtown. That's a church in Houston, Texas that he co-pastors with his wife Juanita. And he was kind enough to join us from member station KUHF in Houston, Texas.
Pastor Rudy, thank you so much for speaking with us, and Happy Easter to you and to yours.
RASMUS: Happy Easter to you, too, Michel, and thank you again.

The Expedition 36 crew released Japan's H-II Transfer Vehicle-4 (HTV-4) cargo craft Wednesday at 12:20 p.m. EDT ending its one-month stay at the International Space Station. Expedition 36 Flight Engineer Karen Nyberg, operating from the station's cupola robotics work station, used the Canadarm2 to release the cargo craft. Robotic ground controllers at Mission Control, Houston unberthed the HTV-4 from the Earth-facing port of the Harmony module at 8:07 a.m.
HTV-4 will maneuver to a safe distance away from the station where it will be commanded by Japanese flight controllers to deorbit on Saturday, Sept. 7. The craft, now loaded with trash, will burn up as it reenters the Earth's atmosphere over the Pacific Ocean.
The HTV-4, also known as the "Kounotori-4" for a white stork symbolizing a special delivery, brought up 3.5 tons supplies and gear when it was attached to Harmony. Its departure leaves open Harmony's docking port for the arrival of the Orbital Sciences Corporation's Cygnus commercial cargo craft due to arrive in late September.
Orbital Sciences will be the second commercial space company to launch a cargo craft to the International Space Station. They are conducting a demonstration mission of its Cygnus cargo vehicle that is scheduled to launch Sept. 17 as part of NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services program. The mission will demonstrate the Cygnus' rendezvous and berthing capabilities to the space station.
Meanwhile, Expedition 36 Commander Pavel Vinogradov, Flight Engineer Alexander Misurkin and NASA Flight Engineer Chris Cassidy continued their crew departure preparations. The crew participated in onboard Soyuz descent training and conducted an equipment and stowage briefing.
The Soyuz TMA-08M spacecraft is being readied for its return to Earth on Sept. 10, U.S. time, to bring home Vinogradov, Misurkin and Cassidy. The spacefarers are packing their Soyuz while their replacements on the ground, Expedition 37/38 crew members Oleg Kotov, Mike Hopkins and Sergey Ryazanskiy prepare for their launch aboard the Soyuz TMA-10M spacecraft on Sept. 25, U.S. time. They will dock to the Poisk mini-research module after four orbits, or about six hours later.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congress should limit Wall Street's controversial role in commodity markets, and rewrite a law that gives banks broad leeway to own oil, metals and other raw materials, a senior U.S. regulator said on Friday.
The Federal Reserve, the top U.S. bank watchdog, is rethinking its policy of allowing banks to operate in commodity markets amid accusations they inflate the prices of items such as aluminum and electricity.
"I plan to urge that the law be amended by simply reversing the policies that allow for bank ownership," said Bart Chilton, a commissioner at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the top U.S. derivatives regulator.
The law also gives some banks an advantage over others, Chilton said, in reference to Morgan Stanley (MS.N) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N), which only came under Fed supervision in 2008 at the height of the financial crisis.
Because the two changed their legal status at that time, the law treats them more leniently than their rivals, allowing them to hold any commodity businesses they had before September 30, 1997, through a so-called grandfather clause.
"There are two banks that are using yet another exception to the law," Chilton said in a speech.
Chilton had planned to address lawmakers critical of Wall Street's role in commodities at a panel meeting of the Senate Banking Committee scheduled for October 8, although the date is now moot because of the government shutdown.
The lawmakers, led by Senator Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio, will also grill Fed officials attending the meeting - the second one they are holding on the matter.
Banks that cannot use the grandfather clause because they were already under Fed supervision when the law was written in 1999 need special approval to enter the commodity market, and the conditions are tighter.
One crucial difference is that, while banks such as Citigroup Inc (C.N) and Bank of America Corp (BAC.N) are allowed own oil, metals and other commodities, they cannot store, distribute, refine or transport them.
But Morgan Stanley owns TransMontaigne, a large oil terminal and logistics subsidiary estimated to be the 17th-largest private company in the United States.
Banks that own such entities also control the supply of commodities they trade, creating a conflict of interest, Chilton added.

Estella Rodríguez '00, BA
Texas Rural Legal Aid
Estella Rodríguez has always been driven to see justice be done. As a child, her mother called her "la abogada" because she was always questioning her mother and wanting justification for her actions. In her first career, she was a journalist who wrote to help those in need, educate the public and be part of the checks and balances of government. Now, as an attorney, she works to champion justice and provide legal assistance to those who otherwise could not afford the services.
Rodríguez' educational journey has been a long one, with many detours along the way that did not prevent her from receiving a law degree in 2005. Although she graduated with honors and in the top ten percent of her high school class, her dream of attending college would be cut short by the reality of having to work to contribute to the family income. After working with Southwestern Bell for several years, she changed careers to become a writer and eventually became managing editor of the Laredo Morning Times. It was during these years that she returned to college and received a bachelor's degree.
Surrounded by family, friends, and countless mentors, Rodríguez accomplished her goal of becoming an attorney. She had to make many sacrifices to get to where she is, but she looks upon those times of adversity as a learning opportunity.

John Cusano, Accenture's Global Insurance Industry Lead, believes many insurers are underestimating consumer expectations when it comes to the digital customer experience. How can they better align their digital strategies with consumers' demands?
Most insurers have invested heavily in harnessing digital solutions over the past couple of years. How are their digital strategies working out?
It depends on who you ask. A recent global survey by Forrester Consulting, commissioned by Accenture, found that 75 percent of insurers believe their digital customer experiences meet customer expectations. And 9 percent reckon they exceed expectations.
When I ask insurance executives how their digital strategies are panning out, they're mostly happy because they don't see any major gap with their competitors. They feel comfortable because they have committed substantial resources to their digital strategies and some have begun implementing impressive digital solutions.
Yet there remains a significant gap between the carriers' perceptions and those of their customers. According to Accenture's 2014 Global Consumer Pulse Survey, only 15 percent of consumers are satisfied with the digital experiences their insurers provide.
What are the reasons for these differing perceptions?
Perhaps they underestimate the high expectations of their customers. Expectations are no longer set by traditional insurance providers but by digital companies that offer consumers an array of flexible, personalized and on-demand services. We call them "experiential competitors" and they have set a high bar for all industries.
The Forrester research points to another reason for the perceptual disparity. Despite insurers' confidence, only 14 percent of the respondents to this survey said they have mastered digital technology to the point that it differentiates them from their competitors.
If this is the case, carriers need to act fast. Their customers won't wait long for them to improve their digital services. And there is no shortage of both traditional competitors and new ones from outside the industry trying to win them over.
Where should carriers begin in their efforts to close the perception gap?
Many carriers don't have the necessary tools to tell them how they are performing, so putting in place metrics and measurement tools would be an immediate step in the right direction. It's interesting to note that only a fifth of insurance respondents in the Forrester survey considered metrics and measurement to be a priority.
Of course, there's nothing simple about measurement. Traditional single-channel metrics, which focus on a specific aspect of the business, are clearly not going to work. Insurers need to employ more complex cross-channel metrics that gauge digital performance across a wide range of customer interactions. Customer satisfaction, Net Promoter Score (NPS) and Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) are all useful indicators.
What are the major barriers that insurers face as they seek to harvest better return on investment from their digital strategies?
The Forrester research suggests that legacy technology, product and organization silos, and culture are some of the major obstacles that insurers will need to overcome to realize the full ROI of their digital investments. In addition to upgrading customer transactions and deploying new digital capabilities, they'll need to focus on integrating and aligning digital technology throughout the business.
Insurers' customers crave new-generation "living services." They want to be able to choose from a bundle of highly flexible on-demand services that adapt to meet their changing needs and preferences. That means insurers need to think more like their customers and focus less on products.
Changing this picture will demand cooperation across the business. Who should lead the transformation effort?
Digital leadership has got to come from the top—right at the top. Digital transformation is not just about technology. It requires a complete reorganization of the whole enterprise—its people, systems, processes, products and partners as well as its technology and data resources. Such radical change can only be achieved by top leadership.
It cannot be done by chief information officers, chief digital officers or chief customer officers on their own. The CEO and the executive team have to set the vision, define the strategy and then oversee its implementation. There's no doubt that that balancing digital transformation with the everyday demands of running a business and meeting stakeholder expectations is a major challenge. But this doesn't change the fact that such executive involvement is a key ingredient for success.
You mentioned the concept of living services. How can insurers close the gaps in their offering to give customers the sort of bundled, on-demand services they expect?
To meet these expectations carriers must not only ramp up their investment in technology and skills, but also forge strategic partnerships that will be vital to their long-term future. These partnerships, and the ecosystems they enable, are becoming essential for delivering a broad range of related offerings.
The ecosystems could attract large numbers of consumers who are not yet insured. Alternatively, prospective partners could supply products and services that would enhance the quality of insurers' ecosystems or increase their credibility with consumers.

WASHINGTON — The military is renewing its focus on fitness as personnel prepare for deployment and are sent to stressful locales. In fact, a recent report by the U.S. Air Force shows that troops at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba are using exercise to combat stress, according to a recent report from the U.S. Air Force.
"We're seeing a change in the culture of the Air Force," Lt. Col. Sherry Sasser, chief of health promotions for the Air Force surgeon general, said in the report. "Gyms are being used morning, noon and night and are packed. Units are running together. It's wonderful to see."
Air Force health officials are considering seven changes to bolster the fitness trend and improve the program. These recommendations include adding height and weight into standards to accommodate airmen who are unable to achieve the minimum abdominal circumference but are still at a normal weight for their height, lengthening the run times for tests done at higher elevations, and retesting airmen who are rated "marginal" at 90 days instead of 180 days. The Air Force is also considering promoting nutrition as an important part of education and intervention, emphasizing regular physical training rather than test results, reinforcing commanders' accountability, and moving the waist-circumference to a controlled area for people rated poor or marginal who are being retested to reduce inconsistencies. Also, 50- to 54-year-old females were previously not consistent with other categories, so their fitness criteria will be adjusted for age according to the American College of Medicine standards, and a new category will be added for those older than 60, according to the report.
Changes were revealed during the program's first annual review by three panels — functional, external and leadership. Air Force officials conducted the functional review, while outside agencies and universities offered their opinions in the external review. The leadership review will begin in late April and will randomly select commanders and senior enlisted leaders via e-mail to take a Web-based survey. Changes are expected to be implemented in June.
Besides keeping the military in shape, fitness programs are also helping to combat troop's stress.
Experts and leaders are developing methods to deal with the challenging conditions of working on Naval Station Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, an isolated island base and enemy combatant detention facility. Dealing with both special issues and everyday concerns, service members at the base are on one of the front lines in the war on terrorism creating significant "combat stress."
"What we've found though is the opportunities afforded them when they come off shift and out of the camps, out from inside the wire, allow them an opportunity to relax a bit and have helped significantly," Army Brig. Gen. Jay Hood, task force commander, said in the report.
With a seaside location and year-round warm weather at Guantanamo Bay, water sports are popular, and the base features a golf course, several gyms and intramural sports teams.
Service members can become overwhelmed by personal problems with peers or leaders, relationship problems or by the stress of dealing with detainees, Army Sgt. Michelle Olson, a combat stress control specialist with the 1972nd Combat Stress Control Unit from Seattle, said in an Air Force report.
Troops working inside the wire must pass through several sets of intimidating double gates, and must cover their nametapes and never call each other by their real names while they're near detainees. And some at the base have problems knowing that some of the men they are guarding have sworn to kill their countrymen. Furthermore, troops in the task force run 24-hour operations, and the sheer workload can overload some people, particularly those used to working routine, Monday-through-Friday jobs, she said.
Specialists are on hand to listen and help troops deal with their combat stress. Olson stressed the importance of exercise, good nutrition and off-duty activities in successfully dealing with stress problems. Stress-management, anger-management and time-management courses are also offered at the base's fleet and family service center.

Fla. charity figures pumped $1M to politicians
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- The key players behind a purported veterans charity accused of setting up illegal gambling rooms pumped more than $1 million into the campaign accounts of politicians who had the power to regulate or put them out of business.
As the untaxed, barely regulated industry mushroomed into a billion-dollar industry, money went to the campaigns of governors in Florida and North Carolina as well as dozens of state legislators, and state political parties.
"They certainly were involved in the process there's no doubt about that," said Florida House Speaker Will Weatherford, who himself received a $500 check from one of the companies involved.
An Associated Press review of contributions showed nearly $1.1 million went into Florida campaign accounts from 2009-2012 and more than $150,000 in North Carolina.
Allied Veterans of the World ran nearly 50 Internet parlors in Florida with computerized slot machine-style games and gave about $6 million to veterans out of nearly $300 million in profits. Investigators said much of the money went to charity leaders, who spent much of it on boats, beachfront condos and vehicles such as Maseratis, Ferraris and Porsches.
The operations were shut down this week and nearly 60 people arrested. Jennifer Carroll, Florida's Republican lieutenant governor, abruptly resigned after being questioned by investigators. Carroll did consulting work for Allied Veterans while she was a state legislator. She was not charged with wrongdoing.
Undercover law enforcement agents fanned out in the beginning of 2012 to conduct undercover investigations of 44 Allied Veterans locations, according to an Internal Revenue Service affidavit filed in federal court.
The agents labeled the parlors "Internet casinos," saying employees urged them to pay more to gamble to win the biggest prizes. According to the IRS, that violates a Florida law saying any sweepstakes game couldn't have different levels of prizes for those who made donations and those who did not.
One undercover agent who took the employees' advice to bet higher amounts won more than $630 in a single spin in December 2011 at an Allied Veterans site in Lake City - and was told he could have won even more if he'd bet more.
After the arrests were announced Wednesday, authorities said the next phase of the investigation would focus on campaign contributions and lobbying.
A review of Florida contribution records showed several people arrested donated to state politicians, as did the Oklahoma-based software company that worked with Allied. In addition, many of the more than 100 companies linked to the Jacksonville attorney who has been accused of masterminding the racketeering scheme also made contributions.
In Florida, a large chunk went into the coffers of the two political parties: The Republican Party of Florida received nearly $300,000, while the Florida Democratic Party has received nearly $150,000.
Money was also given to many top Republican politicians as well as legislators who have been deeply involved with the future of gaming in the state.
The games have come under scrutiny in Florida but are in a gray legal area. The past two years, there have been bills to regulate or ban them outright, but they have not passed.
Sen. Miguel Diaz de la Portilla, R-Miami, took donations from four people who were arrested as well as some companies linked to the scandal. He has been pushing a bill to regulate the operations instead of banning them. Diaz de la Portilla said just because he took the donations does not mean he knew about any illegal activity.

Citing Archival Resources
Many items in Special Collections & Archives are not the traditionally published books and periodicals you find in other libraries at Wesleyan. A significant proportion of our archival holdings are unique items - there simply are no others to refer to anywhere else. Some types of unique archival documents are: photographs; individual pieces of correspondence; diaries; multiple drafts and manuscripts of documents which later make their way into print; maps; printed ephemera (programs, schedules, visiting cards, tickets, or brochures); and posters or broadsides. Including an exact citation for items such as these is more difficult to do but also is all the more necessary given their specific subject matter and unique nature.
The form your citation will take is determined by its place in your finished work. Citations tend to progress from either broadest to narrowest form of information or vice versa, depending upon citation style. In general, the following elements need to be present in the citation to assure that the readers of your work will be able to precisely identify what is being cited and locate it in the future:
- Repository where the item is held. This will always be: Special Collections & Archives, Olin Library, Wesleyan University, Middletown, CT.
- Collection or main record group in which the item is found (and collection number if available)
- Subcollections, series, or subseries in which the item is found (if available)
- Folder title (or filing unit) in which the item is found (if available)
- The document itself, including page, section, or date information, where necessary

Printed books and periodicals in Special Collections & Archives can for the most part be cited using the standard formats found in writing guides and handbooks like the Chicago Manual of Style and the MLA Handbook. Most of these sources do not contain extensive information for citing unique or archival items. As each special collections library or archives may have its own system for organizing its holdings, the way you cite items in Special Collections & Archives at Wesleyan may be slightly different when you cite original documents at other locations. When in doubt, ask a Special Collections & Archives staff member.
Remember, including more information in your citation is always preferable to including less!

Vandalism that damaged at least 39 cars and a six-frame window at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport terminal earlier this month is still under investigation, officials said.
Vandalism that damaged at least 39 cars and a six-frame window at Coastal Carolina Regional Airport terminal earlier this month is still under investigation, officials said.
The incident occurred overnight Saturday to Sunday, April 6 to 7. It involved damage to windows, mirrors and at least one car�s sunroof by what appeared to have been rocks thrown at them while parked in the airport parking lot, said Capt. Joe Heckman of Craven County Sheriff�s Office.
The report on the investigation, which is being conducted by Sheriff�s Office Lt. Robbie Hardison, has a case number, but little other information yet for release.
Heckman said, �When the incident was reported on that Sunday, we had two deputies out there half of the day identifying damage and getting tag numbers of the cars. It looks like someone threw rocks and damaged 30 private vehicles and nine rental cars and a window on the airport terminal. It appears to be an act of juvenile vandalism.�
Tom Braaten, director of Coastal Carolina Regional Airport, said that is what was identified by airport staff and security.
�A large window with six panels surrounding it by the employee entrance is shattered,� he said. �It looks like it was hit by three rocks. Inside it is solid, but we have locked that entrance off in the event some glass would fall before repairs are made.
�The staff called Sunday morning when they discovered it, and when I came in, the sheriff was there and said his department would take care of the investigation,� Braaten continued. �They didn�t have a good feeling then about how many people were involved. It made me absolutely angry, sick. I can�t believe some jerk or group of jerk would do this. I�ve been here nearly seven years and nothing like this ever happened before.�
The vandalism makes no sense, Braaten said.
�I just don�t understand it; they didn�t appear to steal anything,� he said. �Things like GPS and sunglasses were still there, so they weren�t taking things to go sell them. We have lights in the airport parking area and we had some discussion of this at the Airport Authority meeting (Tuesday).�
Heckman said, �It�s been an awkward investigation because all of the vehicles belonged to people who were away and as some of the people have come back over the course of the week or so following, we made contact with the victims.�
Sheriff�s Office Administrative Assistant Alice Wichtl said Tuesday, �We�re still getting calls from people coming in, and the officer handling the investigation is on vacation for four days.�
One of the victims advised the Sun Journal of the incident and said he had been told that tires were also slashed, but officials did not identify vandalism of that type and it is not on the report.
That victim returned to find the damage to vehicle windows and sunroof with the car in no condition to drive. Repairs on it are scheduled to be completed and the car returned by Tuesday.
Officials have no estimate yet of the total cost of the damage.

Research Summary
Dr. Johnston and his group, including Drs. Mary Blue, Mary Ann Wilson and Alec Hoon, perform clinical and basic laboratory research focused on developing therapies to reduce brain injury in infants and children, as well as to promote recovery by enhancing brain plasticity. His laboratory was one of the first to describe the mechanisms through which the neurotransmitter glutamate triggers brain injury from lack of oxygen, trauma and other insults. If administered early enough, drugs that block the effects of glutamate on one of its receptors called the NMDA receptor can totally prevent brain injury in infants. His group also recognized that the major role that glutamate plays in injury during development is related to the important role it plays in normal development. During development, glutamate released from nerve terminals helps to refine the synaptic connections that link neurons into circuits. These mechanisms are enhanced during development to shape circuits in response to environmental stimuli and formation of memories, a process called neuronal plasticity. When the brain is injured, these circuits can be damaged by too much glutamate, much like a computer's chips can be damaged by a power surge during a thunderstorm. Because injury and plasticity are two sides of the same processes in brain development, Dr. Johnston's research has grown beyond mechanisms of injury into processes that control brain plasticity. For example, he studies how the cerebral cortex is reassigned in response to injury, which is the major mechanism for recovery of function from stroke and other disorders. Even learning and long-term memory are based on these same mechanisms since it depends on neurons exciting each other with glutamate and changes in synaptic connections. Numerous disorders associated with intellectual disabilities are caused by genetic flaws in these systems, and Dr. Johnston recently completed a project focused on a defect in a neuronal signaling process involved in a form of X-linked intellectual disability. Dr. Johnston's initial pursuit of ways to reduce brain injury in infants and children with medications has led to a broader understanding of processes involved in plasticity and recovery from injury. The immature brain's glutamate signaling system, with its complex neuronal circuitry, proves to be especially vulnerable to injury. Accordingly, Dr. Johnston's research has proved to be relevant to a broad range of neurodevelopmental disabilities including cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, genetic metabolic disorders, and epilepsy, as well as brain injury from trauma and lack of oxygen.
