What Can I Do With Red Cabbage?
Good Questions
Q: My CSA is finishing up, and lately I've gotten lots of root vegetables and other fall fare. I have a TON of both red and green cabbage. Aside from stuffed cabbage, cabbage soup, and slaw, do you have any good suggestions for what to do with it all? I especially need help using up the red cabbage.
Sent by Christina
Editor: Christina, what about roasting it? We love roasting cabbage! It gets all sweet and tender. Try one of these recipes:
• Roasted Baby Cabbage
• Roasted Cabbage with Bacon
Readers, what else do you like to do with cabbage both red and green?

We do a version of this black bean taco (http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/02/crispy-black-bean-tacos-with-feta-and-slaw/)
We sub in the Joy of Cooking refried black beans and use red cabbage instead of a slaw mix (1/2 small red for 2 people - the slaw softens quickly so we make just enough for one meal). It has become a go-to staple at our place.
Cabbage and Noodles. One large onion sweated for 15 minutes in butter, add 2T paprika, salt and 1 smallish head of cabbage. Cook over low heat for an hour. While cooking, boil a 1/2 bag of egg noodles and add after cabbage is completely wilted. Serve with sour cream for ultimate winter comfort food.
I recently made braised cabbage by cooking red cabbage in vegetable broth and marsala wine (with garlic, dill, and caraway seeds). Simmer on low until tender, and add a splash of lemon juice at the end to perk up the flavors.
That made a ton, so we used some in enchiladas, along with corn, Trader Joe's Cuban beans, green salsa, and smoked cheese.
We do cabbage and pork chops. We slice the cabbage finely, like you would for slaw, but leave it in long strips.
We start by sauteeing some pork chops in the pan until about half-cooked through (flipping once), then take them out and top up the pork fat with some oil.
We add the cabbage, some balsamic vinegar and some brown sugar, then stir until lightly softened. Then add the half-cooked pork chops on top and put on a lid and let it sit for a while, stirring every 10 minutes or so. We usually leave it for about 45 minutes to get the cabbage good and cooked, but so it still has a bit of bite. It's delicious!
I know you asked for ideas aside from slaw, but I have to put in a plug for this non-mayo slaw. It's simple and awesome -- an old family favorite. http://marriedwithdinner.com/2006/10/29/diy-steakhouse/
I had a similar problem until I made warm red cabbage salad and ate the whole batch myself.
Cabbage of either color also makes a surprisingly nice breakfast bowl.
Red German cabbage. It's a fantastic side. Serve with breaded cutlets and warm German potato salad.
I love this red cabbage salad with golden raisins and sunflower seeds. In fact, I am making it today.
Grate or finely slice cabbage. Place in crockpot with 3 peeled, cored & grated apples; 1/4 c sugar; 1/3 cup red wine vinegar; handful of raisins. Cook on high for 6 hours. Top with cooked & crumbled bacon.
My non-veg-eating dad mistook this for cranberry sauce at our Thanksgiving dinner (in front of my husband, who said nothing!) and had nothing but praise for it.
Cook the shredded cabbage in a skillet with about a cup of stock until soft (not too hot - don't let it brown), then add some chopped apples and cook another 10 minutes or so until the apples are tender. Season with cider vinegar. Yum!
I made some great braised red cabbage with apples this weekend to go with latkes. I went a little easy on the balsalmic vinegar and added a touch of brown sugar, but it was a hit with everybody--including some cabbage-haters.
I'd recommend German braised red cabbage (Rotkohl) - actually I just cooked ab big pot of it for yesterday's dinner - yummy! This recipe is in English and comes pretty close to German Rotkohl - I'd not only add cloves but also a bit of cinnamon, a bay leaf, maybe some juniper berries. And add some diced bacon or bacon fat when frying the onions and apples...
This is a traditional side dish for all kinds of braised meats (especially dark meat like beef or venison), or the Christmas goose/duck.
That's the recipe link I referred to: http://www.ottawacitizen.com/life/food/Savour%20aroma/1168749/story.html
I really like this vietnamese chicken salad from Nigella. It's very tasty and easy to make.
Make homemade sauerkraut:
It should be ready in time for Rubens with leftover corned beef from St. Patrick's.
Wow, it's funny that barely anyone suggested a raw cabbage salad. Really, cabbage and bell peppers with any kind of vinegar-based dressing is the perfect filling (and healthy) lunch. Here's one I made over the summer, though you'd have to sub some of the stuff to fit winter produce:
Oh yes - raw cabbage ramen salad! Totally delicious and doesn't get soggy in the fridge.
1 medium head cabbage, finely chopped
1/4 c. red onion
1 pkg. Ramen noodles (chicken flavor packet), crumbled
1/2 c. sliced almonds
2T sesame seeds
Mix together except the noodles and refrigerate a few hours.
2 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. vinegar
1/2 c. salad oil
1/2 tsp. pepper
Flavor packet from the noodles
I think you should make traditional sauerkraut. It's both healthy and tasty. I have mine with many dishes throughout the year. This method is how our ancestors preserved their cabbage.
My favorite is a simple salad that I found in Mollie Wizenberg's book. A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table. It consists of olive oil, lemon juice, black pepper and parmesan. So Good!!!!
Kielbasa and cabbage! We love this, and it's so cheap. Here's a pretty good recipe:
I don't add the cajun seasoning or the worcestershire sauce personally. It's great with cinnamon apples!
Fish taco's! This recipe is so easy and fool proof: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Avocado-Fish-Tacos/Detail.aspx
You can't lose shredding it and roasting it with a splash of balsamic, olive oil, some salt and pepper, raisins, and brown sugar too at 350º for an hour. Or shred it fine- and I mean paper thin- and toss it with your favorite vinaigrette and lots of cracked black pepper for a cold salad.
Cabbage salad is a Costa Rican staple.
shredded red cabbage
lots of cilantro
lime juice
a splash of red vinegar
and whatever vegetables you have in your fridge (carrot, cucumber, tomato, celery)
It's very refreshing, and it complements black beans well.
Growing up in a Polish household we always had tons of braised red cabbage around and is 1 sure way to use up a lot of it.
Hot cabbage salad... slice thinly and saute in 1 Tbs ea. of olive oil & balsamic and a chopped garlic clove... saute till pink. Mix with 1 finely chopped apple and top with feta cheese and roasted pecans (toss w/1 tbs oil, salt, pepper, & powdered ginger, roast at 350 for 3-5 minutes). So good!
Shred cabbage and steam (covered) in 1/3 c chicken broth. Once cabbage is softened, add butter (to taste) and a tsp of caraway seeds and let cook a few more minutes for the flavors to blend. It's an excellent side with mashed potatoes and roast chicken on a cold winter day.
Roast it! cut it into 8ths, rub with oil and salt, and pepper, 400-425 for.. I don't know, awhile? Till it looks like you want to eat it. Works for green and red
here's a fast, easy way i prepare red cabbage:
My hubby really doesn't like cabbage and this fall we were getting it every week in our CSA box- I made pork egg rolls with the all of it! Ate some for dinner and froze the rest- I did prefer the green cabbage for this process more than the red- but it worked and it got my hubby to eat it!
I love to roast the wedges. Simply cut into wedges with core intact, brush all sides with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast in a 425 degree oven for 30-45 minutes, turning once, until tender. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over wedges and enjoy! Works well with any cabbage, especially green.
Cabbage Lasagna! We accidentally invented this when trying to make stuffed cabbage rolls with red cabbage and realized they're too stiff to roll! We used the same ingredients as the cabbage rolls, but added a little bit of cheese. Very tasty!
I like substituting some very thinly sliced, slightly cooked red cabbage for half of the noodles in many Asian dishes. Soba with red cabbage, shrimp, toasted sesame seeds and bean sprouts is tasty.

Bergdahl Release Ignites Political Controversy
Former Fort Richardson soldier Bowe Bergdahl was released over the weekend from nearly five years in captivity in Afghanistan. Both of Alaska's U.S. senators issued warm statements welcoming the news, but in Washington, the price paid for Bergdahl's release and questions about how he became separated from his unit are igniting a political firestorm.
New EPA Carbon-Pollution Rules Will Spark Rate Hikes In Fairbanks
Golden Valley Electric Association customers can expect a rate hike to pay for new federally required pollution controls. The EPA's emissions control requirements announced today, will be phased in over coming years in an effort to cut greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.
The federal Environmental Protection Agency's proposed rule will require all U.S. powerplants to cut production of carbon dioxide by 30 percent by 2030, based on their output in 2005.
The EPA hadn't released details of the new rule on Friday, and the agency's spokesperson in Seattle didn't respond to a request for comment. But GVEA's C-E-O Cory Borgeson says all of the co-op's coal-fired powerplants, and at least some of the other fossil-fuel fired plants, will not meet the stringent standards of the new rule.
"We think it's very possible that the limitations would affect not only our coal plants, but also our plants fired with naphtha, diesel, …" he said.
About 60 percent of GVEA's electricity is generated by coal and oil, including diesel. So, Borgeson says, the utility will be required to spend money to bring its powerplants into compliance with the new rule. And more rate hikes will be required to cover those costs. How much, he can't yet say.
But Borgeson cited as an example the $92 million that GVEA is now paying on emissions controls for the coal-fired 50-megawatt Healy 2 powerplant. That work is required under a deal the co-op cut last year with EPA and the state. Those controls, however, will not remove carbon dioxide or CO2 from the plant's emissions. So Healy 2 will be out of compliance with the new rules when it's fired-up in about a year. And Borgeson says it's not known how much the additional emissions controls for the plant will cost.
"So, you go in and put in additional controls to take out CO2, or limit those emissions, and – it's just hard to speculate on the cost," he said. "But, ultimately, it's a big cost."
Environmentalists counter that ratepayers nationwide already are paying for the costs associated with greenhouse gas emissions. Colin O'Brien, an attorney with the environmental-advocacy groupEarthjustice, said in November interview that those so-called "hidden costs" come in the form of, for example, increased insurance and medical payments to repair damage from extreme-weather events or health costs associated with poor air quality.
"People pay the cost of energy in several different ways," O'Brien said. "One is the bill that they get from the utility. Another might be the money that they pay to their healthcare provider, if they have asthma or another lung or heart condition that's a consequence of the air pollution that comes from coal production or coal combustion."
The new CO2 rule is intended to encourage utilities to convert from coal, which provides nearly half of the nation's electricity, to natural gas. Borgeson says that's not an option here.
"That's something that will still don't have in the Interior," he said. "And even if we do get it, it's going to be at a much higher cost than the rest of the nation."
The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday that the proposed rule is scheduled to go into effect in 2016.
Between now and then, Borgeson says GVEA will be making its case to EPA that the co-op should be granted exceptions and/or extensions for compliance.
He says GVEA will support litigation that he expects the utility industry, among others, will be filing in opposition to the new rule in the coming months.
Crews Discover Years-Old Human Remains On Kenai Peninsula
Firefighters on the Kenai Peninsula made a disturbing discovery over the weekend.
Alaska State Troopers say human remains have been found near Sterling.
Troopers say they were notified Sunday that a fire crew found the remains.
According to troopers, the remains appear to have been there for several years. There were no identifying items found and the identity of the remains is unknown.
The state medical examiner's office has been notified.
Prescribed Interior Burn Extends To Over 6,000 Acres
On the Kenai Peninsula, rain over the weekend helped further knock down the Funny River fire, but in Interior Alaska, a wild fire in the Delta Junction area gained major acreage over the weekend. The 100 Mile Creek Fire, sparked by an earlier prescribed burn on military land, went from about 700 acres to more than 6,000, as high winds fanned flames.

New Alaska Chief Medical Examiner Named
A pathologist who has been working as an assistant Alaska medical examiner has been named the state's chief medical examiner.
Gary Zientek has worked for the Alaska Division of Public Health since 2009. Gov. Sean Parnell approved Zientek's promotion in January.
The Anchorage Daily News reports Zientek's medical license was suspended for four years in Virginia because of alcohol and drug abuse. His Virginia license was restored in late 2007.
Zientek says he has been sober for 10 years. He says his is a story about redemption.
The Department of Administration says Zientek was the only person interviewed for the job, which pays about $225,000 a year.
Katie John Honored In 375-Mile Walk For Subsistence Rights
On Saturday, two Athabascan men completed a 375-mile trek honoring their mother Katie John, and her cause – subsistence rights. Dozens of people joined them for the last few miles, and about 200 celebrated the walk's end at the Alaska Native Medical Center in Anchorage.
12-Year, Human-Powered Expedition Summits Denali
This year, more than a thousand people will try to climb Denali. Some of those will be making the attempt as part of a "seven summits" expedition, which involves reaching the highest point on all seven continents. One family expedition, named Top to Top, is attempting the seven summits in a way that has never been done before.
For most climbers coming to Denali from outside of Alaska, the trip involves long hours of travel via planes and road vehicles. For Dario and Sabine Schwörer and their children, it meant years of travel by very different means, as Dario explains.
"Just sail from one continent to the other, and then climb the highest peak in each of the seven continents…Denali was actually our second-last."
To get to Denali, the Schwörer family sailed through the Panama Canal and up the coast to Whittier before cycling their way to Cordova and spending the winter there. In the spring, they began the trip north to Talkeetna, where local climbing experts Willi Prittie, Brian Okonek, and Roger Robinson provided insight on the terrain and the best way to get in and out of the Alaska Range without an engine. Dario says the feeling of true wilderness on the way in and out is part of what appeals to him.
"It was a little bit [of] an adventure to get through the willows on the moraine to get to the Kahiltna Glacier, and then it was straight forward. It was so nice, no people, this wonderful mountain surrounding you…"
Once the expedition reached base camp, they begin seeing other people again, and on the way down, there were hundreds of climbers on the mountain. Martin Schuster grew up in Alaska and was part of the Denali climb. He also says that the parts of the trip that were off the beaten path were the most memorable.
"From Petersville up to base camp and from base camp down to Talkeetna, we didn't see anybody. That really made the trip for me. It was really cool just being out in the middle of nowhere without one hundred, two hundred people doing the exact same thing you are."
The Denali climb was successful, but for Dario and Sabine, that's not the most important part of the expedition.
"In Top to Top, on this global climate expedition, we really try to volunteer as much as possible for a good cause and then teach the children and inspire them with all the positive examples we encounter on our journey. That's actually really filling our batteries."
Sabine Schwörer did not climb Denali, since the family's children are too young for the harsh environment. Instead, she stayed behind and conducted homeschooling and other aspects of the expedition. She has been part of the expedition since the first day, back in 2002. She jokes that Dario told her it would only take four years to finish the journey. Twelve years and four children later, she says she is still enjoying the trip.
"I really, really enjoy the time in the classrooms, and working with the children, and how amazing [the] ideas they have [about] what we could do better with our planet. I think it's really important to invest in the children. They are so open, and they still have lots of the future in their hands."
In all, the Top to Top expedition has sailed more than 70,000 nautical miles, and Dario and Sabine have shared their journey with more than 70,000 students in a hundred countries. Their work in local initiatives has helped clean up more than 50,000 tons of waste. They have one continent and one peak left to do, Mount Vinson in Antarctica. They aren't in any particular hurry to get there, though.
"Our idea is to go through the Northwest Passage, so we go again out to the Aleutians and up to Cape Barrow, then through the Arctic to Greenland, then make it down the East Coast of the U.S., through Panama, then to Patagonia again and Antarctica. So what we're trying to do is a figure-eight around the two Americas."
Obviously, that route takes much longer then sailing straight back down the West Coast of North and South America. Dario estimates another three or four years ought to do it. No doubt thousands more children will share in the Schwörer family's one-of-a-kind journey by the time it's over.
Layoffs Begin At Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation
The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation started handing out pink slips on Monday.
YKHC officials announced the layoffs in May.
Officials said the reduction was necessary due to an $11.7 million budget shortfall. They say the shortfall is due to several factors: sequester cuts to Indian Health Service funding, not meeting revenue collection goals and hefty investments in a new elders home and a new medical records system.
It's the second round of cuts in less than a year. Last fall around 50 positions were cut.
110 employees will be let go across departments and 50 more vacant positions will not be filled. Officials say village clinics will be impacted, but no doctors will be cut.
YKHC consists of a regional hospital in Bethel, nine regional facilities and 47 village clinics. The corporation employs around 1,500 people and has an annual payroll of $70 million.
Officials say the layoffs will continue this week and they'll release more information Friday.
Bethel Native Reimagines Qaspeq
One Alaska Native woman is putting a new spin on the traditional qaspeq. Michelle Konig uses stretchy fabric and a unique pattern to make the modern qaspeqs. With a label under her own name, the designer can barely keep up with orders and is now traveling around the state teaching others to make her designs.
At the last minute, Michelle Konig decided to sew a batch of qaspeqs to sell at Camai Dance festival to make a little extra money for a trip to California.
"I made the traditional qaskpek a little bit too small for an adult and I decided to add, I called it stretchy fabric at the time, but it's jersey knit."
She ripped side seams out and added a panel of the jersey material. She also made some other alterations.
"Instead of using qaspeq fabric for the sleeves I decided to also use the jersey knit for the sleeves along with the waistband and instead of hood, I decided to make a cowl."
A qaspeq is a lightweight parka or over shirt worn by Alaska Native women and men, usually a cotton tunic with an oversized pocket and a hood. The garment was originally made of animal skin or gut and was worn over a fur parka to keep it clean.
As stores became more common in remote bush villages Natives began making them out of calico grain sacks. They are now generally made from cotton material.
Konig often uses batik material and heathered knits and embroiders instead of using rickrack trim, creating a more tailored silhouette than a traditional qaspeq.
Konig grew up in Bethel but now lives in Kenai. She balances her designer qaspeq business with raising three kids. She learned to sew at a young age and remembers drawing clothes as a child. But she wasn't always a pro.
"My first time makin' a qaspeq was probably in the 3rd grade with my Yup'ik teacher. And I thought I'd be quick. It was a torso piece and she wanted us to sew the top and the sides but leave the hole opening for the arms, which I didn't do. Instead, I made (laughs) a tube so … She looked at my sewing and started laughing and said, 'how are you gonna put your arms through!'"
But with practice she got better. And then one day when she was 21 and her grandmother was teaching her to make qaspeq something happened.
"It never really came to me that making clothing would be my career until I had my grandmother teach me the first time using a sewing machine and making a qaspeq."
Her grandmother wanted to do it the traditional way, but Konig had other ideas. Lots of them. Those ideas coalesced under pressure as she created her modern day qaspek prototype that day at the Camai craft sale.
Once people started seeing her original designer qaspeq around her hometown of Bethel, word spread and orders started trickling in. She says she doesn't really had to advertise and does a lot of custom orders through facebook. Since starting her business last fall, she she's had around a hundred orders and had to hire another seamstress to keep up. She hopes her story encourages other women to start their own businesses.
"I feel like I'm inspiring other women to experiment with their crafts, also to get their name out there because of their unique idea."
Konig is now in the process of patenting her modern qaspeq pattern and she's developing her own clothing line. She's working on a website with hopes to eventually have a storefront in Anchorage. Konig is now touring around Alaska teaching people to make her modern qaspeq.
Mallott Campaign Computer Stolen
A laptop computer with donors' financial information has been stolen from the Anchorage office of the Byron Mallott gubernatorial campaign.
The laptop was discovered missing about 7 p.m. Wednesday, as volunteers were wrapping up their day.
Campaign advisor Bruce Botelho says the laptop was in a restricted area at the back of the office.
"What we believe may have happened was the back door had not latched properly. Someone had come in through the back door while volunteers were working in the front public area of the campaign and it was removed."
Botelho says nothing else was taken.
PDF copies of checks and credit cards were on the computer, including each contributor's name, mailing address, phone number, bank account, or credit card and security code numbers, as well as occupation and employer.
A letter went out Thursday to more than a thousand Mallott contributors, recommending they verify and monitor their bank and credit card accounts. State law requires immediate notification of lost or stolen personal information, unless a criminal investigation calls for delay.
"Important to this entire incident is the fact that the computer was password protected and was shut down at the time," Botelho says. "In that respect that lessens the risk, I think, to any of our donors. But nevertheless, there still is a risk."
Botelho believes it was a random theft and not targeted at the Democrat's campaign for governor.
Anchorage police are investigating the incident.
Arctic Subsea Fiber Optic Cable Project Begins Summer Marine Surveys
A Canadian telecommunications company is implementing plans to lay a fiber optic cable from London to Tokyo by way of the U.S. and Canadian arctic, and is readying summer marine surveys to map exactly where it will lay the cable.
When complete, several spurs off the main fiber line could mean high-speed broadband internet for many communities in northwest Alaska.
Arctic Fibre is the company building the fiber backbone. Anchorage-based Quintillion Networks is the "middle mile" provider in Alaska who will link the fiber optic pipeline to local telecommunications providers in Nome, Kotzebue, and other communities in the Bering Strait and along the North Slope.
Despite international complexity and an approximate $650 million price tag, Quintillion CEO Elizabeth Pierce said during a visit to Nome this week that the project is far enough along for marine surveys to start this summer, "which is actually ships in the water using sonar and video to map the whole route of the cable," she said.
"The cable will be built this winter to exactly match that route," she added, with a timeline of laying the fiber in the arctic by summer 2015.
Pierce's presentation highlighted the sonar equipment Quintillion and Arctic Fibre intend to use in its surveying this summer. The company's presentation showed the equipment to be similar to what some oil companies use in their undersea mapping process. While the risks mentioned in Quintillion's presentation in Nome discussed issues that could negatively impact the fiber project, the company did not note what, if any, impact the sonar surveys and eventual subsea construction work could have on arctic ecosystems. The report also made no mention of potential impact on subsistence species.
Most Territorial Court Records Will Stay In Alaska
Most of Alaska's Territorial Court records will not be transferred to the National Archives in Seattle, but will stay in Alaska.
The National Archives and Records Administration says it will transfer 92 percent of Territorial Court as well as Alaska Railroad historical records to the Alaska State Archives in Juneau. Both account for about 25 percent of the records now housed in the National Archives office in Anchorage. The Anchorage facility will be closed this summer and the remaining documents will be transferred to the Seattle NARA office.
Sen. Lisa Murkowski was notified of the decision on Friday. In a letter to Murkowski, U.S. Archivist David Ferriero said most of the Territorial Court records don't require permanent preservation in the National Archives. They include court proceedings; birth, death and marriage records; mining and other property records that pre-date statehood as well as case files, dockets, and records of civil and criminal proceedings in the Alaska court system through 1959.
The territorial and railroad records will be housed in the new State Library Archives and Museum building under construction in downtown Juneau.
Low Level Eruption at the Pavlof Volcano
The Pavlof Volcano on the Alaska Peninsula has started erupting but it's considered a low level eruption.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory raised the volcano alert level to "Watch" on Saturday after detecting a thermal anomaly at the summit of the volcano Saturday morning.
AVO issued an update Sunday afternoon confirming that the elevated surface temperatures persist at the summit of the volcano and weak incandescent glowing at the summit was observed Saturday night in the FAA web cam in Cold Bay. AVO confirms that no ash clouds have been detected in satellite images.
Some weak seismic activity is being detected on the network set up on the Pavlov Volcano and AVO confirms that some small explosion signals were detected by a distant infrasound sensor.
The National Weather Service issued a special statement Saturday afternoon about the eruption of the Pavlof Volcano. The Weather Service is warning that very light ash fall is possible in the vicinity of the volcano.
The Pavlof Volcano is 8,200 feet above sea level and there have been about 40 historic eruptions. It's considered one of the most consistently active volcanos in the Aleutian arc. Cold Bay is about 37-miles southwest of the volcano. You can follow all of the activity at the volcano on the website of the Alaska Volcano Observatory.
Kenai Peninsula Burn Ban Lifted
The State Department of Natural Resources said in a release today that rain and cooler temperatures have allowed a ban on fires to be canceled for the entire Kenai Peninsula, including all federal, state and private lands. The closure was lifted at one minute past noon on Saturday.
The DNR release says cooking, warming or signal fires are allowed. Within state and national park lands, fires may only be built in campgrounds that have metal fire rings or grates.
The Funny River fire continues to burn within the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. At least 193,00 acres have been consumed by the blaze. Rain and higher humidity in recent days have slowed the growth of the fire, allowing fire fighters to achieve 46% containment.
Wind Gusts Push Over Trees In West Anchorage
Wind conditions in Anchorage were not predicted to be strong enough to cause damage today, but sporadic gusts fell at least two trees in the Turnagain neighborhood in west Anchorage. Water was seen seeping across Spenard road near Westchester Lagoon. Drivers should be cautious and on the look out for wind driven debris in roadways.

Last week a good friend emailed me this NY Times opinion piece by David Brooks. I'm not a big fan of Brooks, but I think this is worth weighing in on because I fear it may be the beginning of a concerted effort to discredit economics just as we teeter on the verge of an important course correction.
The text supplied by the NY Times under the link in the email read:
After the crash, economics will have to acknowledge its methodological failures and come to resemble an art rather than a science.
Gosh, I hope not.
Brook's article is pretty apocalyptic stuff. Here are his final incendiary paragraphs:
...economists are taking baby steps into the world of emotion, social relationships, imagination, love and virtue. In Act V, I predict, they will blow up their whole field.
Economics achieved coherence as a science by amputating most of human nature. Now economists are starting with those parts of emotional life that they can count and model (the activities that make them economists). But once they're in this terrain, they'll surely find that the processes that make up the inner life are not amenable to the methodologies of social science. The moral and social yearnings of fully realized human beings are not reducible to universal laws and cannot be studied like physics.
Once this is accepted, economics would again become a subsection of history and moral philosophy. It will be a powerful language for analyzing certain sorts of activity. Economists will be able to describe how some people acted in some specific contexts. They will be able to draw out some suggestive lessons to keep in mind while thinking about other people and other contexts — just as historians, psychologists and novelists do.
At the end of Act V, economics will be realistic, but it will be an art, not a science.
Blow up their field??? Spoken like someone who doesn't understand the science or the math or the value of either.
Let me give you an example.
Several years ago, I found myself among a group of bioethicists, most of whom seemed frankly hostile to economists. One of the issues that was paramount in their discussions was the ethical allocation of scarce resources. While they were mostly concerned about what I think of as "bedside" ethics, they were grappling with a recurring issue on the nation's health agenda: the elimination of health disparities.
One recurring phrase was we need to "maximize societal health." They seemed to think this would involve giving more health producing inputs to health disadvantaged people. It seemed almost nonsensical to me for several reasons. First, if I wanted to "maximize societal health," I would allocate more resources to the people who were most efficient and effective at producing health, those whose marginal product from the resources is highest. Assuming that people who are more efficient at producing health are also more efficient at producing wealth (and vice versa), this would almost certainly mean that I would be giving more health producing resources to higher income people who are already healthier, not necessarily those whose health is least good.
That comes out of the math.
So whatever it is they want to do, it's probably going to be more complex than a simple transfer of resources. Knowing something about the math might have helped them think about this. And if they really meant what they said, they would probably end up denying resources to some who ethically should have them. I don't think "maximizing societal health" means what they think it means, at least in the short-run.
To be fair, they all understood the complexities of what they wanted to do, and most understood that one of the things that must happen is that those with low marginal product of health need to be helped to become more efficient and effective at producing health. They also understood that resources should be directed where marginal product was likely to be highest, regardless of ability to pay. But as long as there is heterogeneity in health production, "maximizing societal health" will allocate more resources to those who are best at producing health, probably the healthiest.
Another thing that comes out of the math is that if I take resources away from health advantaged people in order to give them to health disadvantaged people, the health advantaged people will be harmed, at least in terms of their level of health. This has ethical implications, unless of course, there is some region of the health production function where marginal product is negative for the most healthy. This could occur if the health advantaged have managed to capture more than the optimal allocation of health producing resources. Then taking some away from them and giving the resources to the health disadvantaged would make everyone healthier and would "maximize societal health." Win-win.
Unfortunately, the production of health is complex. Environment, nutrition, education, and exercise matter as much if not more than medical care. So it probably matters which resources you re-allocate. It most likely won't be enough to re-allocate just medical care.
That comes out of the math and the theory.
It comes out of the theory because we as a society probably don't want to maximize societal health anymore than most of you reading this are "maximizing" your own health. Instead, you're maximizing something, known only to you, that provides you with what you judge to be a "good life." It is a combination of work, education, health care, nutrition, leisure, relationships, and, for some of you, tobacco, alcohol, and drugs. (The last three might actually harm your health.) We economists call what you're maximizing "utility." Utility can be thought of as happiness or satisfaction. We call it "utility" because the term implies something a bit more complicated than short-sighted pleasures. In its original sense, there was a sense of virtue or interconnectedness with others that would imply a brake on pure hedonism in it's shortsighted modern sense. Implicit in this conceptualization is the notion that you are the best judge of what gives you utility and that you have all the information you need to make that judgement.
What we might want to maximize then is the sum of all our utilities, which is one way to think of maximizing societal well-being. It turns out it's difficult to figure out how to do this. So instead we could assume that societal well-being is indirectly reflected by the value of the total amount of a nationally produced mixture of publicly provided goods and services and privately provided goods and services. If we were to adopt this proxy measure of societal well-being, we would want that "mixture" and the amounts to match pretty accurately people's preferences and everything that yields benefits or harms to them.
It turns out that if private markets are competitive (i.e., no externalities, no information asymmetries, no agency problems, many small firms, etc), they will provide the mixture and amounts that match people's preferences. If those preferences map accurately to individual utility (and rightly or wrongly, economists assume they do under certain conditions), societal "utility" or well-being will be maximized.
There's a problem though. For many of our most important privately produced goods and services, say, health care and financial services, the conditions for perfect competition are not even close to being met. So we can't be sure that the right (societal utility maximizing) amounts and mix of those services are being produced. This means that our proxy measure of societal well-being will not accurately correspond to actual well-being.
Other important private goods and services, like mother's milk and child or elder care by (unpaid) family caregivers, aren't traded in markets, which makes it very difficult to measure the valued-added by maternal and family caregiver time and effort (what they add over and above the final goods and services they purchase to provide the unpaid services). For this reason, their contribution to societal well-being will not be accurately reflected in our proxy measure of societal well-being.
And then there are public goods, like clean air and water, disease control, national defense, and public recreational facilities. In the absence of markets, it's difficult to know for sure what mix and amount of public goods will "maximize societal well-being." If our political process does not yield the socially optimal amount of final goods and services used to produce these public goods, it will tend to bias the correspondence between our proxy measure and actual societal well-being. This is one reason why it is so important to have a well-functioning political system and an informed electorate.
For these reasons, "perfect competition" in private markets does not solve all of society's allocation problems nor does GDP (a measure of national output) accurately reflect societal well-being. Most economists know all of this and some are attempting to develop better measures of national well-being.
The point of all this is to say that much of the science of economics is quite sound and quite useful for informing public policy. Recent events in the financial sector have stimulated much needed soul searching in macroeconomics, but that doesn't mean the whole discipline is wrong or corrupt. Nor does it mean that all macroeconomists are fools. Some of them got it right and continue to get it right. Even those who got it wrong are entitled to be wrong. Scientists make mistakes. When they learn they have made a mistake, they revise their theories. It's an important feature of "science."
If there is a flaw in the science and math of economics, I believe it is in the narrow ways we have tended to conceptualize and relate our theories to real-world phenomena. I think that Brooks is right that we have tended to downplay externalities of affect or commitment. We have also tended to be uncritical about the normative meanings of our positive assumptions. For example, we tend to assume that a household's budget constraint is endogenous in hours worked and that workers are paid their marginal revenue product and that therefore wages (and profits and household incomes) are always and everywhere just. And we have tended to assume separability of consumption bundles even among those whose incomes are so low that they are substituting heat for food and food for children's health care.
I don't know that these positive assumptions are necessarily fatal in accurately estimating average effects (causal or otherwise), but I frequently worry that public policy based on them may be fatal (literally fatal) to some groups (groups that are not average) that the policies purport to help. That has normative implications.
Another empirical and merely technical issue I worry about is our strong preference for instrumental variables methods when a policy variable of interest is self-chosen or otherwise correlated with the error term. These methods frequently yield purportedly unbiased, but often highly imprecise estimates. As the limitations of instrumental variables have become more apparent, instead of trying to "fill in" the unobservables, we have resorted to ever more complex "instruments" derived from so-called "natural experiments" that yield "instruments" that may or may not be exogenous and that produce results that may or may not be unbiased estimates of causal effects. Then we make public policy recommendations based on the results without regard for the possibility that human lives and well-being hang on the accuracy and precision of those estimates.
But these are not flaws of the underlying science, they are flaws of application and translation. They are the kind of flaws found in peer-reviewed research in other social and behavioral sciences. If we use this period of soul-searching well, we will begin to recognize, teach, and remedy these and other deficiencies of translation.
I think Brooks is wrong. We will not blow up the field. We will improve it while remaining a science. There are plenty of economists who have been simultaneously scientists and moral philosophers (and maybe even artists) who will lead the way. Some of them have even won Nobel prizes. They just haven't gotten much attention until recently. The market for their ideas has been "depressed."
Let's hope recent events in housing and finance (and soon health, I'll bet) will change that.

Via Larry Brown Sports:
How will the New York Jets ever survive without Fireman Ed? Last season, Fireman Ed — aka Ed Anzalone — stepped down from his position as Jets superfan because of the losing culture and drama surrounding the team and its fans. The problem (if you want to call it that) is that Fireman Ed has been leading the famous J-E-T-S chant since 1986.
As a result of Ed's retirement, the team has to figure out a way to keep the chant alive. Fear not, Jets fans — included in your 2013 season ticket package are written instructions for how the J-E-T-S, Jets! Jets! Jets! chant is going continue. As a Jets fan named Jason P. who goes by the Twitter handle @Jayyyson pointed out on Wednesday (via the NY Daily News), the page is titled "The J-E-T-S chant is in your hands!"
"In 2013, we are launching an all-new J-E-T-S chant tradition," a corresponding blurb reads. "As a first step, please find your section on the map for your letter on gameday. Call your Jets Relations Representative to find out more at 800-469-JETS (5387) and start practicing your loudest J-E-T-S chant!"
In other words, every section of the stadium is assigned to one of the four letters. There is nothing cornier than written instructions on how to cheer. The Dallas Cowboys tried it last year and their fans ended up booing.
The concept of Fireman Ed was kind of lame in itself, but at least the J-E-T-S chant was organic. If the fans want to keep it alive, they're better off having someone go stand where Ed used to stand in Section 134 and take over for him. Or, just wait for Ed to make a dramatic return to his old role when he gets a craving for some more attention. What, you really think that's not going to happen?

North America is a dynamic migration region, with the United States home to more immigrants than any other country in the world, the Mexico-U.S. corridor the globe's top migration corridor, and Canada a leading destination for migrants. Research collected here focuses on everything from visa policy and border management to immigrant integration, national identity, the demographics of immigrants in the region and their educational and workforce outcomes, and ways to more effectively use migration policy as a lever for national and regional competitiveness.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
Find relevant MPI resources on the child migration crisis—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in migration of unaccompanied minors to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
The U.S. immigrant population—estimated at 40.8 million in 2012 — is the nation's historical numerical high, and it is also the largest foreign-born population in the world. About 20 percent of all international migrants reside in the United States, even as the country accounts for less than 5 percent of global population. This article presents the latest, most sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—by origin, residence, legal status, deportations, languages spoken, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
As the U.S.-born children of Latino immigrants reach adulthood, new data suggest that they will fare better than their immigrant peers. Richard Fry, Senior Research Associate at the Pew Hispanic Center, explains why.
U.S. lawmakers are preparing to vote on reauthorizing the 1996 legislation that limited immigrant access to federally funded welfare benefits. Audrey Singer, Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, maps out what is at stake for all sides in the debate.
Resolving complex legal, social, and security issues after Sept. 11 will not be easy. But what does immigration have to do with it? Muzaffar Chishti, MPI Senior Policy Analyst, explains.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 dramatically reformed the nation's welfare system. MPI's Amanda Levinson takes a closer look at how these changes affected immigrants.

Whether you're a regular user of Web privacy tools like Tor and Tails, or you've just checked out their websites, the NSA could be tracking your online movements, a new investigation reveals.
The names, addresses, and SSNs for Twitter founders and CEO are published to the "hidden" Internet, possibly in retaliation for account suspensions.
An underground Web site, with more than 27,000 members and hosting more than 2,000 explicit videos of minors, is shuttered with 14 of its alleged operators arrested.
The National Security Agency uses a bit of jiu-jitsu to turn the structure of Web ad networks against people who run Tor to remain anonymous.
Latest secret documents provided by Edward Snowden and published by Guardian show that National Security Agency has been trying to break through online anonymity provided by popular tool.
An earlier version of this story misidentified SOCKS. SOCKS, at its simplest, is a way to transfer data from one computer to another through a proxy. This story was also updated to clarify the Tor browser bundle.
Tor's famous for anonymizing your Internet activities and infamous for being a pain to use. Debuting at Black Hat, the Tortilla tool smooths out some of the global network's rough edges.
One year after Tor launched its DRM-free store, the publisher has said that there has been "no discernible increase" in piracy.
Call it a massively multiguested question-dodging event, or just a good time. Lots of fans, including CNET's Kelsey Adams, show up to find out just how far away the future is for this "Star Wars"-based MMO.
"Redshirts" author John Scalzi commissions indie rocker William Beckett to perform a theme song for his new book "Lock In."

Wickes 18v Combi Hammer Drill is suitable for light repairs and maintenance jobs.
"Does just what it says. Good torque for virtually all uses, good battery life, feels robust but also light enough for sustained work. Its been heavily used and has been a great buy."
"After reading the reviews I thought I would pick one up. When I got it home I thought it was a great deal until the battery charged and I started drilling. The chuck wasnt straight. -_- So I took it back. Got a replacement. And the chuck wasn't straight. So I will be taking this one back also. I'm getting more and more unhappy with wickes. Quality is slipping and they never seem to have what I'm looking for these days. Quite unhappy."
"Been searching for an 18volt for some time and decided the use will not be alot so decided on a cheap purchase and was so delighted with the price and the power and quality of the wickes 18 volt cordless drill. With the drills and screwdrivers included with magnetic bit and 1 hour charger its the best around go for it peoples wont be dissapointed"
"I bought two of these drills in a special offer deal over a year ago and thought I would get enough service life from the two to make it worthwhile. But they have turned out to be amongst the best quality tools I've bought in over forty years of DIY. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Wickes power tool again and I'm comfortable recommending them to anyone. I'm looking for a corded drill at the moment and came across this page hence the un-planned review."

It becomes supernaturally effective when blended with some other peptides. The active element in matrixyl is also known as micro collagen.
This is responsible for stimulating fibronectin and collagen. Collagen loss is the major reason for skin thinning and wrinkling. This natural collagen loss is balanced by Matrixyl.

Apply this serumto your face.
Allow the serum to get absorbed in the skin. Use it daily twice a day, for maximum results.

This serum targeted deep wrinkles and reduced them to half. Fine lines are faded completely by the use of this serum. It works at the DNA level and targets all the wrinkle creating factors as the person ages. Researchers have found that this serum has helped to deal with the natural ageing and thus its results are much more effective than any other product.

Probable CE major looking for advice
View Single Post
Mar7-12, 06:53 PM
Quote by
I'm a computer engineering major and I'm a senior at UCF. I might be able to give you some pointers.
First off, why do you want to do computer engineering? To design computers? Well, let's see what goes into that.
Computers engineering often has a lot to do with microcontrollers. Embedded systems often has you programming a microcontroller in a low level language such as C or assembly.
Computer architecture and organization classes might interest you, since it involves the design of computer systems and you can choose to focus on things like performance and throughput.
When you're designing digital circuits, you may end up using a programming language such as VERILOG to design them. It's actually called a hardware description language.
You will have to become a pretty good programmer in the four years of taking computer engineering. Those were the most "hardware" courses I could think of, and they still involve a little bit of programming. There are plenty of intense programming courses such as System Software, Operating Systems, Software Engineering, etc.
If you think you wouldn't mind taking a
bit of programming, but you really want to design hardware, I would point you towards
electrical engineering
. It's a big field, involving lots of math, physics, and electrical hardware (digital & analog). You would never be asked to program an operating system as an electrical engineer, but you will definitely have classes that involve designing electrical hardware.
The point is this: As an electrical engineer you can choose to specialize in computer systems, and you won't be forced into taking all the software classes that you don't like. It may take until your senior year to be able to pick the electives you want, but I think it'd be much better for you.
You will have to learn lots of things that are
directly related to computers (analog circuits, semiconductors, power systems), but they are indirectly related and they lean towards the side of more physics, less software.
It's all a spectrum, and you could probably get away with a CE degree, but in my opinion you wouldn't like it.
GREAT ANSWER, thank you.
I think EE may be what I'm looking for judging by this information. My brother is an EE major at university of cincinnati.. I'll ask him about it.
again, I appreciate the thoughtful response. I will heed the advice and look further into CE vs EE
