Microsoft's Huge Bet on Windows 8
abhisht is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has made the biggest change in its operating system since Windows 95. Windows 95 was the software which revolutionized access to world wide web. It is reported that approximately a thousand applications can use Windows 8. This would in turn encourage developers to create new applications for such apps. Microsoft has also incorporated certain new features in its windows 8 platform, which will enable Microsoft to reduce piracy to a great extent. With Piracy being the major problem in third world countries, I believe that Microsoft might be able to generate higher revenues going forward.
While there are two inherent problems with Windows 8, I believe that these are also the features that might help Microsoft in the long run. For one, Windows 8 is primarily based on Windows 7 and so both can be used simultaneously. While there are words of caution on how many CIO's will use and allow such an environment, the stickiness for Microsoft in the enterprise sector might make a way for a Microsoft win. Other than this, Windows 8 has a different user experience hence, the users might find it difficult to use it. While this is a risk as users are essentially forced to change their habits, it is basically a risk an innovator has to take in order to offer better products.
However, in spite of these small lacunae's, Microsoft has taken certain steps which brings a sense of positivity for its future success. Firstly,anti-piracy efforts has borne some positive results and can boost its revenues. While piracy adversely affects U.S. revenue, the impact on revenue from outside the U.S. is more significant, particularly in countries where laws are less protective of intellectual property rights, as 43% of the total revenue comes from outside US.
Secondly, a major portion of the company's revenues comes from Software assurances which have high probability of being renewed. This being the end period of many such Software assurances, Microsoft can generate healthy revenues from licensing fees.
Thirdly, media and advertising campaign strategy recently used by Microsoft has caused ripples in the consumer market.
Fourthly, Windows 8 tablets have heavy content creating capacity in comparison to other tablets. Hence, it seems to be promising for heavy use cases.
Lastly, Microsoft has a significant free cash flow. There is the possibility that Microsoft can declare some sort of extra dividend to its investors like it did in 2004.
In comparison to Apple's (NASDAQ: AAPL) tablet Microsoft has some exciting features. For instance, the key pad of the iPad tablet is the most tricky aspect where it is nearly impossible to write or e-mail documents with ease. Even though third-party keyboards can be attached to the iPad, they can be clunky. Whereas, Microsoft's tablet keyboard will be part of its Touch Cover, which makes it easy to carry. There will be a version with pressure-sensitive flat keys and another with more traditional raised keys called a Type Cover, hence it can be used with ease. Also, unlike other competitor of Apple, Microsoft is not only stylish but also has the ability to act as a PC or a Laptop.
After the death of Steve Jobs, Apple was not able to launch anything exciting. Even though iPhone 5 was a success, it is limited to US market only and also it has nothing new to offer beyond iPhone 4. With no new advancement, I predict that Apple may loose its sheen in the market.
On the basis of these facts it is recommended to hold the stock. Microsoft's main business comes from Windows and Office (profit in excess of 80%) which right now seems vulnerable to tablets. It is feared that in coming period, from iPads and Android based tablets will gain wider acceptance. Microsoft's impatct in this market may be lessened due to saturation.

DIY Home Health and Safety
10 Ways to Cut Clutter in Your Home
Countless families are bedeviled by household clutter; the most common clutter hot spots are children's bedrooms, home offices, attics, and garages, professional organizers say. What does it take to create a clutter-free space? Here are 10 key home organization strategies from three top organizers.
10 Tips for Organizing Your Home
Find a place for every item. One reason things pile up on counters, tables, and floors is that they have no "home." "Make sure everything lives somewhere," says Sharon Lowenheim, a professional organizer in New York City. Storing items in the room where they're used helps ensure they get put away when you're done, and usually it's best to store similar items together. If it's something you use frequently, make sure the storage place is easy to access. "If you need to reach to a high shelf and take down a turkey platter just so you can return a bowl to its 'home,' odds are it's not going to get put away very often," says Standolyn Robertson, a professional organizer in Waltham, Mass.
Play clutter cop. The better you are about keeping things out of your home, the less likely things will pile up inside. Take freebies. It's nice to get a T-shirt or coffee mug, but will you really use it? Enjoy it? If not, decline it. Or let's say you're a voracious reader. You could buy books -- but why not borrow (and return!) them from your public library? And take a minute to opt out of mailings from credit card companies and other direct marketers. Bottom line? Always look for ways to block unneeded items before they cross your threshold.
Do some detective work. Periodically scan your home for clutter hot spots, and spend some time figuring out why stuff accumulates there. Often, it's not what you think. Take that pile of dishes in your kitchen sink. "People often assume that dishes pile up because it's too much work to load the dishwasher," says Robertson. "But lots of times it's that family members hate unloading the dishwasher, and they hate that because it means having to open the cabinet to put away plastic containers -- and those plastic containers always rain down on them." Once you understand the problem, you'll find it easy to devise a solution.
Hold off on container shopping. Clutter victims often think the solution is to stock up on organizing products, so they head to the nearest superstore and stock up on bins and boxes. Big mistake. "People love to go out and buy containers, but getting organized does not start out with a shopping trip," says Robertson. She recommends shopping for storage items only after you've done some de-cluttering -- to understand the scope of the problem, the specific cause, and an appropriate solution.

Not everyone's a vegan, I know, so here's the version for carnivores, with some variations on the original.
Prep time: 30 min
Total Time: 1 hr 15 min
Serves: 4
2 tbs canola oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1 onion, finely slices
2 serrano peppers, thinly sliced
2 whole cloves, bruised, or ¼ tsp ground
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp turmeric
1-1/2 tsp ground cumin
1-1/2 lbs beef tenderloin, cubed*
1 tsp sea salt or kosher salt
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
2/3 cup coconut milk*
10 oz spinach, fresh or frozen, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the serrano, and continue to cook for another 3 minutes. Season with the cloves, garam masala, coriander, chile powder, turmeric, and cumin, cook for 2 to 3 more minutes to release the flavor. Stir in the beef and salt, cook for 3 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, and spinach. Bring to a simmer, then cook, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the cover and stir in the lemon juice. Cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
*I mix beef and cubed chicken (skin removed, of course). You can also use (lean) hamburger or ground chicken or turkey, if that's what you have on hand. This is not a fussy dish.
*Coconut milk: buy the canned one, which is only coconut and water, or it's easy to make your own. Recipe follows Again, you can substitute almond milk, which is very good for type 2 diabetics. Should you decide to go the purist route…
Homemade coconut milk:
¾ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
2-1/4 cup of hot water
Cheese Cloth
Jar with Lid
Place the shredded coconut and boiling water into the blender and just let it sit for 5 minutes. Next, blend the mixture on high for 1 and 1/2 minutes, then let the blended mix sit for at least 10 minutes. Blend once more, for 30 seconds.
Prepare cheesecloth over your chosen container, making sure to cut a large enough piece, and do this in stages: Pour the blended coconut mix over the cheesecloth. The liquid will drain into your container. When liquid is no longer coming from the cheesecloth, use your hands to squeeze out the excess liquid. When all liquid is drained set aside excess coconut. It can be used again.
Put a lid on the container and store in the refrigerator. The next day you will find that separation has occurred. The separation is the coconut cream that has settled at the top. The coconut cream can be scooped out and used separately in recipes or you can break up the coconut cream and pour the milk and cream into a blender and blend until smooth. This will produce a full cream coconut milk that can be used in any recipe that calls for coconut milk. For a reduced fat coconut milk, use just the milk, with the cream unincorporated: health first. This recipe can be halved for the purposes of our recipe at large, and the excess coconut milk can be stored in the refrigerator for about a week. Rumor has it that it can also be frozen, but I have no first-hand experience with that, so that's between you and your conscience.
This dish is traditionally made with coconut milk, but I substitute almond milk. Despite the fact that Himself is vegan and coconut milk falls into this category, his cholesterol level is high and according to livestrong.com, "a 1-cup serving of coconut milk contains about 50 g of saturated fat — more than 2 1/2 times the daily recommended allowance. It also contains about 3 g of unsaturated fats, and one-fifth of the recommended allowance of dietary fiber. Taken together, this makes coconut milk a bad choice from a cholesterol standpoint — all right for an occasional treat, but not for daily consumption, and dangerous to those already struggling with high cholesterol (http://bit.ly/KRcup0)." Almond milk also tends to boost the 'good' (HDL) cholesterol level, to retain some of that coconut flavor, I use coconut oil, but you can use canola oil instead, if you're really concerned. There's always a tradeoff, what, eh… Full disclosure: he's not a big fan of coconut anyway, and he loves this dish: it's nice and spicy, so if you're not into hot dishes, make sure to tone it down on the peppers and chili spice.
Prep time: 30 min
Total Time: 1 hr 15 min*
2 tbs canola oil (or pure, not partially hydrogenated, coconut oil2 cloves crushed garlic
1 onion, finely sliced
2 serrano peppers, thinly sliced*
2 whole cloves, bruised, or ¼ tsp ground cloves
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp turmeric
1-1/2 tsps ground cumin
1-1/2 lbs tofu, frozen, thawed, then cubed*
1cup tomatoes, chopped
2/3 cup almond milk
10 ozs spinach, fresh or frozen, chopped
1 tsp lemon juice
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. You'll probably need to reduce the heat to medium low. Add the serranos and cook for another 3 minutes. Season with the cloves, garam masala, coriander, chile powder, turmeric, and cumin, cook for 2 to 3 more minutes to release the flavor in the spices.
Stir in the tofu and salt and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring to coat the tofu. Add the tomatoes, almond milk, and spinach. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the cover, then stir in the lemon juice and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened a bit. Serves 4.
*Ok, technically, make that 12 hr and 15 minutes, or something like that: freeze the tofu overnight in the freezer and remove the next morning to thaw. Freezing tofu gives it a meatier texture. You can also substitute seitan, cubed, for the tofu, which brings us back to 1 hr 15 minutes.
*If you can't find Serrano chili peppers, use two jalapenos, however, serranos are hotter than jalapenos, so if you like the heat, add also add a teaspoon of red chili flakes, or to taste
Mock and Cheese
Comfort food junkie that he is, one of the foods G missed most was his macaroni and cheese – a dish that's a testament to carbs and cholesterol, if ever there was one. In this very simple variation on a theme, those two ingredients are literally off the table – and he didn't even miss them.
I now make him the vegan version, which means zero cholesterol – only animals produce cholesterol, fyi. If high cholesterol isn't one of your problems, well, feel free to use dairy products, if you'd like, but do try to find lower-fat alternatives, such as skim or 2% milk, reduced fat cheddar cheese. Whether or not you use butter is between you and your conscience. Yes, I know breadcrumbs are the traditional topping. At least try the ground flax replacement.
Serves 2
2 tbs. unbleached white flour
2 tbs. non-dairy 'butter'[1]
1-½ cups soy or unflavored almond milk
1-½ cup shredded almond or soy cheddar cheese
½ tsp. black pepper
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ tsp. nutmeg (optional)
2 tbs. good mustard, like Dijon
2 -3 tbs. white or cider vinegar (depending on your tastes)
½ – ¾ head cauliflower, grated or cut into very small pieces
¼ cup ground flax seeds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Steam the cauliflower in a medium sized sauce pan for 10 minutes, until soft.
In the meantime, heat the soy or almond milk in a small saucepan, but don't let it boil. Melt the 'butter' over low heat, then add the flour, stirring with a whisk, to make a roux, which is ready when the mixture turns to a sort of paste and begins to brown just a bit – about two minutes. While whisking, add the hot milk and cook for a few minutes (3-5), until thickened and smooth. Whisk in the mustard and vinegar and cook for another minute, until they're incorporated into the mixture. With the heat on medium low, stir in one cup of the cheese (a bit more, if you'd like, or save some for the topping), salt, pepper and nutmeg and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Note: the cheeses won't melt and disappear into the mixture the way dairy-based cheese does; don't worry about it, and thought I'd give you the head's up.
Drain the cauliflower well in a large sieve. Add the cooked cauliflower to the cheese mixture and stir well. Pour into a 9×5" baking pan and top with another 1/3 cup cheese (optional) and the ground flax.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly.
[1] I use Smart Balance Light or Earth Balance. Whatever, as long as it's non-dairy, and only to keep the cholesterol count to zero
I know chicken soup is the old standby for colds and flu. I've always sworn by hot and sour soup, and load it with plenty of freshly ground black pepper for heat. It also cuts down on the oil/fat/calories that one usually finds in Hot & Sour Soup recipes. This one is easily adaptable for both vegetarians and meat-eaters. Most importantly, is always comforting, especially on a cold winter day. And filling, too. Serves 5
1 tofu cake (fresh, if possible)
2 ounces marinated pork tenderloin (optional)[1]
1 to 1-1/2 cups bamboo shoots
1 cup water chestnuts (optional)
4 tablespoons black fungus (Wood Ear) or 3 – 4 Chinese dried black mushrooms, or shitake mushrooms
½ cup dried lily buds
7 cups water
1-1/2 tbsp. miso paste
¼ cup soy sauce
4 tbsp white vinegar, or red or white rice vinegar
½ – 1 tsp sesame oil (depends on your tastes and it's potent stuff)
1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup cold water [2]
1 tbsp white or black pepper, freshly ground[3]
2 spring onions, chopped (optional)
Cut tofu into very small squares. Cut bamboo shoots into thin strips. To reconstitute the fungus, soak in warm water for 20 minutes. Rinse, and cut into thin pieces. (If substituting Chinese dried mushrooms or shitakes, soak to soften, then cut off the stems and cut into thin strips.)[4]
To reconstitute the dried lily buds, soak in hot water for 20 minutes or until softened. Cut off the hard ends.
Bring the water to a boil and add the miso tastes, stirring occasional to make sure it all 'melts' into the water. Once the miso has dissolved, add the soy sauce, vinegar and the freshly ground pepper. Bring the liquid to back to a boil, reduce the flame to medium and add the bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, fungus or mushrooms, and the lily buds. Stir. Add the tofu. Bring back to a boil and add the marinated pork. Stir in the sesame oil.
Test the broth and adjust the taste. Mix the cornstarch and water. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the soup, stirring while it is being added.[5] If using the navy bean 'flour,' sprinkle it into the soup and stir to incorporate. Let the broth come back to a boil. As soon as it is boiling, reduce the heat and cook for a while – 10-15 minutes – until the soup thickens. Remove from the stove. Add the green onion and more pepper to taste, if necessary. Serve hot.
Hot and Sour Soup can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Keeps for about a week
[1] Marinade for the pork:
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced
Shred pork. Mix marinade ingredients and marinate pork for about 30 minutes.
[2] I sometimes replace the cornstarch with navy beans that I've ground in the blender to a fine powder. Healthier, and a good thickener. Use two tablespoons and skip dissolving it in water.
[3] I use the pepper rather than a hot chili oil or chili paste as the heat in the soup. If you like the 'hot' in hot and sour, feel free to add more and I often do
[4] Honestly? When I'm in a hurry, which is always, I toss the mushroom in rather early on and let them reconstitute in the soup. It works. Same goes for the dried lily buds, which, btw, are not a critical ingredient.
[5] Cornstarch can 'clump', so I usually take just a bit of the hot soup and gradually stir it in with the cornstarch/water combo before adding it to the pot. Sort of tempers it and prevents clumping. Trust me.
Top 10 lists are popular because, believe me, I found at least a dozen of them. And no two were exactly alike. Yogurt (especially Greek yogurt) made it onto a number of them, but I didn't include it here, as I'm dealing with a cholesterol problem as well, so all dairy is automatically out. For us, anyway. So while yogurt may be way up there on the list – and yes, I know that there is such a thing as soy yogurt – it's just not one of my personal top ten. So, in no particular order:
1. Oats. You could go for oat-based cereals (not the sugar-coated kids stuff) or of course, old-fashioned oatmeal itself – good one, and no, not the quick cooking kind. It's not the same. There's also oat bran and oat flour, which you can buy, or make by throwing some old fashioned rolled oats into the food processor or blender. 1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal provides 6 grams of fiber (add fruit and you add even more fiber) and lowers your LDL. If you don't care for oatmeal, take note: oat bran makes a great thickener in cooking, and is unrecognizable in the final dish, in many dishes. Try that instead of cornstarch or flour. Good to know: current nutrition guidelines recommend getting 20 to 35 grams of fiber a day, with at least 5 to 10 grams coming from soluble fiber, like oats. The average American takes in about half that amount. Barley and other whole grains are also rich in soluble fiber. As I said, I started replacing brown rice (medium high in carbs) with bulgar in dishes, or use half of each. Or sometimes I mix ½ bulgar and ½ quinoa, which I realize is a pseudocereal rather than a grain or a true cereal, but it has a high protein content, and like oats, contains a balanced set of essential amino acids, making it a complete protein source. It's also a good source of dietary fiber and phosphorous and high in magnesium and iron, and it's gluten-free (for the celiacs out there) and easy to digest.
2. Fish and omega-3 fatty acids. Fatty fish like salmon, albacore tuna, mackerel, lake trout, sardines, halibut and herring are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce your blood pressure. If you're vegetarian or won't eat fish for whatever reason, you can get your omega-3s in ground flax seeds (flax meal, actually – the seeds must be ground), canola oil and avocados.
3. Nuts Almonds, walnuts and some other nuts are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids to keep blood vessels healthy. Just make sure they're not salted or covered with sugar. Pecans, pistachios and peanuts (which I know are not nuts at all, but rather legumes) are also up there on the list and yes, nuts are fattening and here comes that word – moderation. I know raw almonds are supposedly better for you, but if you like them roasted, get roasted almonds. Salt-free, please. If your cholesterol is high, you might also consider replacing dairy-based cheeses with almond cheese, and dairy milk with almond milk as well. It comes plain or vanilla- or chocolate-flavored. Make sure to buy unsweetened.
4. Olive oil Olive oil contains a mix of antioxidants that can lower your 'bad' cholesterol without compromising 'good' cholesterol, and extra virgin olive oil is less processed, so is higher in antioxidants. I use it mostly in salad dressings and only rarely in cooking – it burns at a lower temperature than most other oils, so I tend to use canola for sautés and stir-fries. It is not low in calories – no oil is – so only use a couple of tablespoons a day. I also throw olives onto his salads. Salt free at first, but salt isn't one of his problems and olives[1] are good for you. Again in moderation, but isn't that the general rule for most foods?
5. Vegetables You know the ones I mean. Cauliflower, broccoli, zucchini, peppers, brussel sprouts, eggplant, string beans, cabbage, okra and beets. The list of non-starchy vegetables goes on. Dark, leafy green vegetables are especially good: spinach, collard greens, mustard greens, Swiss chard, kale and the like are nutrient-dense, vitamin-rich, low in carbohydrates and low in calories, so you can eat all you want. They're also filling, versatile and won't drive up your blood sugar levels. Besides, didn't your mother always tell you to eat your vegetables? Right again!
6. Avocados They're good for your heart; have anti-cancer benefits and help in blood sugar regulation. Avocados have gotten a bad rap for a long time, as being high in fat, but they're monounsaturated fats, which are is one of the healthiest fats, also found in olive and canola oils and nuts. And like anything: moderation. PS – the dark green part closest to the skin is the healthiest part of the avocado, so if you can, peel but make sure not to leave the dark stuff behind. Scoop it out, if you must.
7. Fruit Apples, grapes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and citrus fruits are rich in pectin, a type of soluble fiber that lowers LDL. Fruit is also high in sugar, so the grapefruit diet is definitely out. Diabetics are also known to have lower levels of vitamin C, so feel free to use lemon and lime juice in cooking, on salads, or grate some fresh lemon or lime peel onto salads or into certain baked goods.
8. Beans Beans, beans, they're good for your heart. And they're not only especially rich in soluble fiber and nutrients: they also take a while for the body to digest, meaning you feel fuller longer after eating[2]. Good choice for people trying to lose weight, and lots of beans to choose from: black beans, navy and kidney beans, lentils, garbanzos, black-eyed peas. The list goes on and yes, some are a bit better for weight loss than others. Another health/weight loss trick: try sprouting some lentils and/or mung beans and throw them onto a salad or into a sandwich. They're easy to sprout at home. Just get yourself a wide-mouth mason jar, throw in ¼ cups of lentils or mung beans (1/4 cup produced a LOT), cover the beans with water for 24 hours (do make sure to add at least twice the amount of water as beans; the beans absorb a lot of water and you may even have to add more water). Drain the water and cover the jar with a sprouter lid or cheese cloth and a rubber band. 'Water' the beans daily (I do it morning and evening), draining the excess water each time, and keep them in out of direct sunlight. In 3-4 days, you'll have your sprouts. Store the lentils in the refrigerator in a sealed container. Same with the mung beans, but unlike the lentils, they must be covered with water while in refrigerator storage. That's it. Easy.
9. Vinegar Ok, it's a condiment, but it does deserve its own place on the list. Our doctor recommended the generous use of cider vinegar early on. A study at Arizona State University East found that taking two tablespoons of vinegar before meals lowered sugar levels in diabetics by 25 percent. In prediabetics, blood sugar levels were cut in half. Italian researchers discovered that apple cider vinegar with meals slashed blood sugar levels by 30 percent, so I always make sure to pour some vinegar onto some dish somewhere at dinner.
10. Dark chocolate. The best for last: Rich in anti-oxidants and flavonoids, dark chocolate has been shown to help counteract insulin resistance, the condition that prevents your body from using insulin effectively. And notice I did say dark chocolate. Trust me, you'll come to love it.
[1] For those of you who say that nuts, avocados and olives are fattening: Food is not fattening: overeating is.
[2] Once you take your first bite at any meal, it takes the brain 20 minutes to register that there's food in the system, from what I've read and heard. Eat slowly. Take human-sized bites. Chew. Then swallow.
I'm not just talking about diabetes. I'm talking about Depression and Denial, too, because that's the first thing we experienced: he was depressed; I was in denial.
How the hell could this be happening? When we sat in our doctor's office and he was explaining that G would be on the meds for at least a year – but that there was no cure for Type 2 diabetes and he'd have to change his lifestyle, lose weight and that we'd revisit the meds in a year – it felt like I had somehow woken up in someone else's nightmare.
And that's all he wrote: a prescription, some good advice, but not a clue as to what I could safely feed him. According to the doctors in my family, doctors study nutrition for about three weeks in med school. A list of foods/ingredients to avoid would have been helpful. You know, something practical, besides "get this prescription filled and you'll need a blood sugar monitor, too." And just for the record, we like our doctor. He took his time and explained the diabetes to us; he told us that the meds had side effects, so a change of lifestyle that would get G off the meds wouldn't be a bad thing. Which left me squarely in terra incognita. I weigh about a hundred pounds. What do I know about dieting? Or which foods wouldn't set off a blood sugar attack? Given the choice, G would live on pizza and pasta. Neither of which were on the menu, at the moment. And what if they were off the menu forever?
We stopped off at the pharmacy on our way home, and of course, G also stocked up on neutriceuticals – you know, foods created by pharmaceutical companies.
Who goes grocery shopping in a pharmacy?
I would let it slide for now – he had to eat something – but when he picked up a pound of a sugar substitute that was supposedly natural and derived from sugar, that's where I drew the line. Fine, buy it, but I wasn't about to use it any time soon, or ever. First of all, I'm suspicious of food products where I can't pronounce the majority of the ingredients. Second: I'm going to take food advice from someone who'd eaten his way into Type 2 diabetes in the first place? And just for the record, it was soda that did him in. It's what does a lot of Type 2's in and no, I wasn't the one who was buying it. Or drinking it.
Other sugars/sweeteners on my no-fly list, and careful: they're in a lot of food products out there, so read the labels. They're sugars and only the names have been changed to deceive the clueless:
- · brown sugar
- · corn sweetener
- · corn syrup
- · dextrose
- · fructose
- · fruit juice concentrates
- · glucose
- · high-fructose corn syrup
- · honey
- · invert sugar
- · lactose
- · maltose
- · malt syrup
- · molasses
- · raw sugar
- · sucrose
- · sugar
- · syrup
- · turbinado sugar
- · demerara sugar
- · agava
There are more, I know, and some of these are natural, unprocessed sugars, I know, but they affected his blood sugar levels and not in a good way, so there you have it. Yes, I know he sweetens his beverages with the zero or low calorie stuff. There's only so much I can do and he likes his sweet beverages. Obviously. The natural sweeteners I do use, in moderation, of course, and which have lower glycemic levels:
- Xylitol
- Sucanat
I think of xylitol and the new 'white sugar' and sucanat as our new 'brown sugar.' Yes, I know about stevia as well. Didn't like it, personally. And erythritol, which, from what I read, is nearly zero calories and is a great sugar alternative for diabetics. I just haven't tried it. Yet.
Also on the no-fly list, and yes, it included a lot of our pantry:
- White rice
- White bread
- All purpose flour (I use unbleached white flour now; he doesn't like whole wheat flour; he doesn't react to the unbleached and why torture him?)
- Vegetable oil
- Corn Oil
- Ketchup
- Mayo
- Prepared Salad dressings
- Pasta (yes, I know there are all kinds of pastas out there: whole wheat, quinoa, etc.; he either didn't like them, or they played havoc with his blood sugar. High carbs are high carbs)
If you're like me – a hoarder and an optimist – you won't ditch all of these foods/ingredients immediately. You'll just sort of move them to the back of the cabinet, until things get back to normal. Newsflash: this is the New Normal. Might as well ditch them now and make room for the foods and ingredients that you need and can safely use.
Oh, I did find pasta called 'Dreamfields' that was supposedly lower in digestible carbs and had a lower glycemic index than most pastas. Maybe, but we found that the reaction was just delayed. No cigar and I stopped buying it because he stopped eating it. Eventually, I came up with my own recipe for pasta dough. The ingredients are very different from traditional pasta – and he says it tastes like freshly-made pasta, and it doesn't affect his blood sugar levels. At all. I can't give away my pasta dough recipe here, but I will share my mock and cheese recipe anon. Oh, I should also mention that because his cholesterol levels were (also) off the charts, he turned completely vegetarian, since cholesterol is only produced by animals. And humans. I'll tailor the recipes for the non-vegetarians on the list, but I should add that I am a meat eater, and I cook – and season foods – like a meat eater, so if you do decide to try the vegetarian versions, no worries: your kitchen won't smell like a sweat lodge. Trust me: I grilled kebobs this past summer and didn't feel like doing separate chicken and tofu versions, so I made them all tofu. Which I'd marinated, of course. And everyone thought it was chicken anyway.
So, if you're cholesterol is also high and you don't want to go on the statins – which do have some pretty bad side effects – also on the no-fly list:
- All dairy products:
- Milk, whole, 2%, skim; doesn't matter
- All dairy-based cheeses, hard and soft
- Heavy cream
- Light cream
- Sour cream
- Cream cheese
- Butter (try the Smart Balance – not bad at all and holds up best as a butter substitute, IMHO)
- Chicken
- Beef
- Pork
- Turkey
- Sausages, turkey, chicken, beef and pork (trader joe's has a chorizo that's vegetarian and amazingly, tastes like the real thing!)
I'll do lists of 'gotta go' and 'gotta get' which I will post, when I find the time. These are more or less my crib notes and it took much research and months of trial and error to figure it all out.
I didn't list brown rice because it was on his menu. At first. Upon further research, I found that grains like bulgar, buckwheat and quinoa were much healthier and better for him. Take a look:
Brown rice nutritional facts: http://bit.ly/gOzm7x
Bulgar nutritional facts: http://bit.ly/sw8vkq
Quinoa nutritional facts: http://bit.ly/gBE1QX
And don't just look at the calories. I also consider the dietary fiber, protein, sugar, carbs. Brown rice isn't bad – it just doesn't have to be the only grain on the table.
I started off by sneaking the other grains into dishes. For example, I'd mix half brown rice and half bulgar or quinoa. After a while, I dropped the brown rice completely. And he didn't even miss it. I've yet to try millet, which is more the domain of the celiac set. As are tapioca flour, potato flour, rice flour and corn starch, all of which I avoid. To thicken sauces, I grind navy beans or chick peas in the blender and use that. Healthier, plus higher in protein and lower in carbs, and I only use a tablespoon or so of each.
It's been three years and yes, he'll have pasta out once in a while and by that I mean, every few months. And he'll have sushi every couple of weeks. Or chinese food. With brown rice, of course. His numbers are good – and he doesn't order pasta smothered in some butter- and cheese-rich sauce. It's a privilege and he's learned – the hard way – not to abuse it.
This is our life. We've made adjustments – and it seems there's no going back.
This blog came about out of love.
When my husband was hit with sudden onset type 2 diabetes in early 2009, we were devastated and I was terrified. Yes, he was the one who was sick – but I was the one who had to figure out what to safely feed him and the last thing I wanted to see was his health deteriorating. Even further. I have to thank the various websites out there for explaining Type 2 diabetes to me – very helpful – but when it came to what to feed him, not so much. Problem: while they define and differentiate between Types 1 and 2 diabetes, when it came to recipes, the two were suddenly pretty much lumped together. Ok, so from what I'd read, Types 1 and 2 diabetes are two completely different diseases, with two different courses of treatment – yet no differentiatiation when it comes to food? Did I miss something? Or is the idea to keep Type 2s on medications forever and damn the torpedoes – and the side affects. I realized I had a lot more research to do if I was literally going to save his life and get him off the medications, and finally, all that science I'd studied, my background as a former professional baker and having always had a fascination with food, came in handy. Ok, having doctors in the family helped, too. A lot. But at the end of the day, there is no more powerful motivator than love.
I am not a doctor, a dietician or a nutritionist. I have no medical qualifications whatsoever, nor am I giving you medical advice. Anything you decide to do should be discussed with your doctor. All of these ideas, suggestions and recipes are based on personal experience as I learned, based on trial and error and living with it every day, how to manage Type2 diabetes, normalize a high cholesterol level, figure out a healthy weight loss program and prepare meals everyone could enjoy. I am just someone like you: a spouse/loved one/significant other/family member/caregiver/Type 2 or pre Type 2 diabetic. Someone who has had his or her world turned upside down because, like it or not, all of a sudden you have to live with Type 2 – like me.

Goddard in the Starting Blocks: Course set for Fedora 13
Following last weeks feature freeze, the Fedora team yesterday branched Fedora 13 away from the main developer repository "Rawhide."
Fedora 13, codenamed Goddard, is planned for release May 11. For the first public alpha version, due early March, the developers have now branched off the relevant packages and at the same time opened Rawhide for Fedora 14 development.
This is a change in Fedora's normal development mode, because in the past, Rawhide would be completely frozen for a given time. What the change means and who it may affect is described in the Fedora wiki.
First designs for how Fedora 13 will look are already available. Most of them have taken their inspiration from the codename of the rocket scientist Goddard.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Volkswagen
"We will certainly become an active player in the region in the next years," Michael Macht, VW group production chief, told Reuters at the Frankfurt motor show on Wednesday.
"We are currently very actively on the road in these countries," Macht, who sits on VW's eight-member executive board, said in an interview. He declined to be more specific.
The Wolfsburg-based multi-brand automotive group, which still lacks a vehicle-assembly plant in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) group of countries, has a goal of overtaking Toyota <7203.T> and General Motors

Hello all. I am fairly new to the website and have a few questions. I am 33.5 weeks pg and was preeclamptic with my previous pregnancies (delivered at 32 and 34 weeks). I've been on again/off again with the facial swelling and proteinuria, but have consistently had high BP. My baseline BP is around 110/60. I've been to the hospital several times with BP spikes and 1+ urine, but all my other labs are checking out okay.
I had a non-stress test done last Friday and my BP was up again along with 1+ urine so my OB admitted me again. My BP was 150/105 and the diastolic stayed in the low 90's throughout my stay. My OB decided to put me on Aldomet 250mg three times a day to keep the BP under control. I've now been on the Aldomet for 4 days and am not seeing a decrease in my BP. I am wondering how long it should take to see the decrease? My OB told me that if I had been 36 weeks along last Friday, we would have probably delivered the baby. Do you think we are just buying time? I'm really not sure what to think. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Well known as a haven for honeymooners, the stunning islands of the Seychelles archipelago are also a magnet for ornithologists the world over.
The 155 granite and coral islands are home to 12 endemic bird species, and the largest sea bird colonies in the world.
For all bird enthusiasts out there, here's our top 5 run down of must-see Seychelles' islands.
1. Praslin Island
The rare endemic Seychelles Black Parrot is the national bird. Visitors to the exotic Vallée de Mai on Praslin Island, are likely to see the Black Parrot as well as the Seychelles Bulbul, Seychelles Swiflet and Fruit Pigeon.
2. Mahé
Mahé is the largest of the islands, and there are a number of beautiful walks you can take into the tropical hills to spot the Seychelles Kestrel, Seychelles White-eye and Seychelles Scops-owl.
3. Bird Island
Bird Island is situated some 60 miles north of Mahé. It's a tiny flat coralline island where over 400,000 pairs of Sooty Terns breed every year between May – November.
There are viewing platforms where you can enjoy the sight of the terns incubating their eggs and caring for newborn chicks. Other birds found on the island include Curlew Sandpipers, Fairy Terns and Turnstones.
4. Cousin Island
Cousin Island, just 2km from Praslin Island, is home to a bird and marine sanctuary that has won several awards for conservation and ecotourism.
The endangered Seychelles Magpie Robin was successfully reintroduced on the island. You'll also find other endemic birds including the Seychelles Sunbird, Seychelles Fody and Seychelles Blue Pigeon.
There's also a massive seabird colony here with 7 different species nesting at different times of year. Expect to see Fairy Terns, Bridled Terns, Lesser Noddies, Audubon's Shearwater and the Wedge-tailed Shearwater.
5. Aride Island
Close to Cousin Island, Aride is the only place in the archipelago where you'll find Red-tailed Tropicbirds. The world's only hilltop colony of Sooty Terns are also found here, living alongside White-tailed Tropicbirds, Roseate Terns, Seychelles Sunbird and the Seychelles Fody.
When to visit
The main breeding season for birds in the Seychelles is April, while Sooty Terns nest from May-September.
October is migration time, where numbers peak across the islands. Visitors at this time of year can expect some stunning sights across the sky.
Where to stay
Combine all this with a wonderfully relaxing holiday at one of our luxury 5* resorts in the Seychelles.

Family reunion 10 adults 8 small children
We loved the house, big spacious clean, well maintained, everything worked perfectly. We would highly recommend staying here and hope to return soon. Property is very well situated in a beautiful area. Lovely trails great vistas. Management was very helpful if we need anything from extra cribs to activities, cooks etc. Gave it 5 stars
Awesome Cabin!
We loved this place! My husband and I with two young sons (21 and 23) plus their two friends stayed here for a three-day weekend. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Great location, and the place itself is so beautiful. Nice modern furnishings, and working Wifi! Hot tub was great, and comfy couch, nice T.V. Thanks Shannon for making this a nice, special weekend for us!
Great home
We had a family reunion with 10 adults and 5 little children at this property recently and thought it was nice and clean and in a great location. Loved the large dining area and the layout of the whole house. Everyone had a bed and it didn't seem crowded at all. The extra bedroom in the garage was great as was the hot tub! We were very happy with our stay, except for one small issue which I have already taken up with the manager.

We attended all the shows and the Reflection singers and dancers are very good. The Reflection show which featured circus type performers was especially good. There was also a violinist, pianist, magician, etc. and only the magician was a little "tired". I know entertainment is a personal thing, but we enjoyed most of the shows and obviously, they try to get a variety. Our favorite was a group of 4 acapella singers called "these guys" from FL. They performed beautiful 4 part harmony, had a show one night and also performed in the lounges.
We ate in the Opus Dining room each night except one, and we enjoyed all the meals. The service, food and presentation was top notch and our waiter was excellent. My husband is a beef eater and he had no complaints. We thought the buffet was well laid out, spacious and there was a good variety for breakfast and lunch. The pasta station, mexican station, salad bar, etc were busy, but the waiters kept them stocked. The ice cream bar was especially a favorite and open from noon until 10 PM.
We aren't gamblers and only played the slots a few times. We saw someone win over $2,000 on the slots one evening, but other than that, everyone we talked to lost money, of course. My husband used the treadmill a few times in the fitness center and the machines were new and well used. At times it was difficult to get a machine, but that is the usual.
We didn't use the lawn services, as we thought they were pricey, but the lawn is pretty.. I made a bracelet and necklace at the art studio and thought that was fun. We took the kitchen tour and my husband did the trivia. Many loved the Zumba.
The big difference in Celebrity is their personnel. We never saw an employee who was not smiling, friendly, and ready to please and help. We especially noticed it in the buffet and public rooms, as well as the Guest Relations, which is important.
We picked this cruise as much for the ports as anything else, and they were great. We didn't take any ship excursions, but did buy the cruise transfer in Mykonos to get from the port to the town, as they recommended. We were scheduled to tender to town, but docked instead and were told it was not safe to walk the 2 miles to town. We find that most ships excursions are overpriced, and Celebrity is no exception. We bought Rick Steves Mediterranean Cruise Ports book and did most of the ports easily on our own.. We did private excursions in Santorini and Ephesus, but did the others with no problem using public transportation or walking around on our own. I will write about the various ports on the different forums.
Embarking and disembarking was very easy--we used Romecabs for our transfers and I highly recommend them.
We met many interesting people from other parts of the world. Although most of the cruisers were probably over 50, there was a mix of other ages and few children on this particular cruise.
All in all, Reflection is a definite winner and Celebrity is our new favorite cruise line.

Born Free USA Leads Initiative in Hawaii to Protect Bears from Global Trade
Born Free USA, a leader in animal welfare and wildlife conservation, is urging Hawaii lawmakers to join the majority of U.S. states that fully prohibit the trade in bear gallbladders. Throughout the U.S. mainland, bears are killed for their gallbladders and bile. Hawaii is one of the few states that still allow trade of bear gallbladders. Although Hawaii lacks a wild bear population, this allowance — and the state's location &mdash, could encourage bear poaching globally, compromises bans already in place on the mainland, and puts bears everywhere at risk.
Born Free USA has helped draft a landmark bill introduced today (Senate Bill 2232) that would protect bears by prohibiting the commercial trade in bear gallbladders and bile in Hawaii.
"We urge Hawaii to join the majority of states in fully banning this trade," says Adam Roberts, executive vice president of Born Free USA. "Although Hawaii does not have a wild bear population, its nexus to international waters and lack of restriction on trade in bear gallbladders, bile and derivatives entering from other states creates a convenient loophole for poachers and profiteers."
Roberts further explains, "The bear gallbladder trade is a global problem that not only affects North American bears, but also the highly endangered Asiatic black bear and other imperiled species. The Hawaii Legislature should act responsibly and without delay to protect bears and help wildlife law enforcement across the nation. There is no downside to passing this narrowly crafted conservation legislation."
Sponsored by state Sen. Clayton Hee (D- Kahuku, Laie, Kaaawa and Kaneohe), the bill would make it illegal to purchase, sell, transport or deliver any product, item or substance containing, labeled or advertised as containing bear gallbladder or bile.
"Bear gallbladders and bile poached for profit and sold in the global black market wildlife trade have no place in Hawaii," Hee said. "The contemptible practices employed to extract bear gallbladders and bile for profit cannot be justified in the name of custom and tradition. Hawaii has no tolerance for poachers and profiteers trafficking on the global black market wildlife trade."
Because the Asiatic bear is endangered, poachers turn to the United States to supply market demand. Bear gallbladders and bear bile are used in Asia and Asian communities in the United States to create medicines and luxury cosmetic items and toiletries such as shampoos and even hemorrhoid creams. While American black bears are poached in the wild to supply the gallbladder trade, Asiatic black bears are kept in coffin-like cages, constantly "milked" for their bile. There are reportedly as many as 54 known herbal substitutes to the use of bear gallbladders and bile that still conform to traditional medicinal applications.
Roberts adds: "It is time for Hawaii to create a sensible policy against the trade in bear gallbladders and bile. We commend Senator Hee for his leadership on this important issue."
Born Free USA is a nationally recognized leader in animal welfare and wildlife conservation. Through litigation, legislation and public education, Born Free USA leads vital campaigns against animals in entertainment, exotic "pets," trapping and fur, and the destructive international wildlife trade. Born Free USA brings to the United States the message of "compassionate conservation" — the vision of the United Kingdom-based Born Free Foundation, established in 1984 by Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna, stars of the iconic film "Born Free," along with their son Will Travers, now chief executive officer of both organizations. Born Free's mission is to end suffering of wild animals in captivity, conserve threatened and endangered species, and encourage compassionate conservation globally.

List it Out
Maybe it's because I work for an accounting firm, but I couldn't be happier the day I decided to track restaurants I've tried and want to try in Excel. If you have any interest in trying new restaurants or being a go-to person for restaurant recommendations, then this is a must-do. So how do you possibly recall all the restaurants you've eaten at up until this point? Don't worry it is not as daunting as it seems. Simply use sites such as www.nymag.com or www.menupages.com as your guide. I used my Zagat's guide, went through every restaurant listed, and categorized the ones I recognized into "Ate at" and "Must try". I didn't further categorize restaurants by location or cuisine, but one day I will. Who has time for a full-time job when my restaurant list needs categorizing?!
Any restaurant in the "Must try" column that I know I am going to try within two weeks gets highlighted in red. Believe it or not, highlighting a restaurant in red gives me an embarrassingly amount of joy, but only second to actually moving a restaurant from "Must try" to "Ate at". Yes, I am a nerd.
You will be SHOCKED when you realize how many restaurants you've eaten at, and how many you still want to try! Since I created my list a short time ago, I've added at least 20 restaurants to my "Ate at" list. Unfortunately, I think I've also added a few other things (eh hem), but I usually make sure to run an extra mile the day after dining out!
Picking a place to dine at or recommending a restaurant for visiting friends should be seamless once you "list it out". And if you do, I kindly ask you share your list by posting it on this blog! I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

HOBART | At the beginning of Saturday's Hobart Invitational, Portage girls tennis coach Joe White said he wasn't too sure about his singles lineup.
"I'm not sure if the girls are playing where they should be," White said, "but competition will bring out what they have and tell all of us what we need to know."
White had a lot less doubt at the end of the day.
The singles play of Kacie McGuire, Mandy Haupt and Lauren Zack showed that the Times No. 10 Portage singles lineup is just fine. The threesome went 9-0 to bring home the team trophy as well as individual hardware in the Hobart Invite.
McGuire, who moved up to No. 1 singles this season, won all three matches in straight sets.
"I'm pretty excited to win the No. 1 singles trophy," McGuire said, "and I'm just as excited that we won the team trophy. We have some tough competition coming up, and this will help us prepare for those matches."
Preparation has been key to Portage's success, according to McGuire.
"We hit so much more this offseason," she said. "We were in the fieldhouse hitting almost every day. All of the extra work we did is paying off in how well we are prepared for matches."
Portage defeated Hobart 4-1, defeated Lake Central 4-1, and beat New Prairie 5-0 to take the team crown.
Times No. 9 Lake Central finished second, winning individual trophies at both No. 1 and No. 2 doubles.
"As a team, we have started out the year very strong," L.C. coach Bryan Szalonek said. "We played five matches this week and won four of them. All of the girls have been hitting their shots and making smart decisions."
The duo of Anna Weber and Brittany Warzyniak went undefeated at No. 1 doubles for Lake Central, including a straight-set win over host Hobart.
"We have been playing better lately," Weber said. "This is our first year as doubles partners, so we have some work to do, but our communication is getting a lot better, and as a result we're in better position. Today was a really good day, and we'll get better as the year progresses."
At No. 2 doubles, the L.C. tandem of Nicole Stanek and Vanessa Olson won all three matches to take the individual trophy. The tandem is undefeated so far this season.
The host Brickies, 1-2 on the young season, earned a 4-1 victory over New Prairie.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The committee representing City of Detroit retirees wants a U.S. District Court judge to answer questions regarding whether the city's filing for bankruptcy is constitutional. In a motion filed Wednesday, the committee is asking for the matter to be removed from the jurisdiction of U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes, citing legal issues.
The retiree committee claims the Chapter 9 filing violates the state constitution's protection of pensions and that Michigan's emergency manager law, which was used to authorize the filing, is unconstitutional because it takes away voters rights to elect their representatives.

Outside of the fact that every celebrated psycho-thriller of the past couple of decades had the same plot twist, there's a bigger problem at play here. There are so many ways to describe something you like, and the central plot twist should never be your opening statement. You're trying to express yourself (that's good!), but you're spoiling the hell out of whatever you describe (that's bad).

Indianapolis—State Chairman Eric Holcomb announced today that Mitt Romney, former governor of Massachusetts, is the third candidate to accept the Indiana Republican Party's invitation to speak at presidential candidate forums being held in Indianapolis.
Governor Romney's visit will take place on September 23, 2011, and will include remarks to Republican supporters, elected officials and candidates in downtown Indianapolis.
White House will travel through the Heartland of America - right through Indiana. We are pleased Governor Mitt Romney has accepted our invitation to visit with Hoosiers to discuss the best path forward for a nation faced with record debt and unemployment. These presidential candidate forums offer an opportunity for candidates to present their vision directly to Hoosier voters as we prepare to play a pivotal role in the 2012 GOP nominating contest."
A forum was held on August 15th with Herman Cain and former Utah governor Jon Huntsman is scheduled to visit on August 29th.
Background on Presidential Forum Invites
In June, the Indiana Republican Party sent invitations to nine candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. They included: Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Mr. Herman Cain, Speaker Newt Gingrich, Governor Jon Huntsman, Governor Gary Johnson, Congressman Ron Paul, Governor Tim Pawlenty, Governor Mitt Romney and Senator Rick Santorum. Since then, invitations have also been extended to Congressman Thaddeus McCotter and Governor Rick Perry.
Each candidate has been invited to to meet with Republican supporters, elected officials and candidates at a time convenient for their schedule.
Biography of Governor Mitt Romney
Mitt was born in Detroit on March 12, 1947. His mother, Lenore, gave up an acting career when she met and married his father, George. Mitt's father came from humble origins and never graduated from college. He apprenticed as a lath and plaster carpenter and sold aluminum paint before beginning a career that brought him to the head of American Motors and then the governorship of Michigan.
Mitt married his wife, Ann, in 1969. They first met in elementary school when he was a Cub Scout; he remembers tossing pebbles at her when she rode by on a horse. When they met again years later at a friend's house, he was smitten. Between them, they have five sons and sixteen grandchildren, who are the center of their lives.
Like any family, the Romneys have faced hardship: Ann was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1998, and more recently fought a battle with breast cancer. She credits her husband's unwavering care and devotion to her for helping her through these ordeals.
Mitt is not a career politician. He has spent most of his life in the private sector, giving him intimate knowledge of how our economy works. But he has also been an outstanding public servant. In one chapter of his distinguished career, he reversed the decline of a state mired in recession. In another chapter, he salvaged the 2002 Winter Olympic Games from certain disaster.
When Mitt was elected Governor of Massachusetts in 2002, the state was in severe disarray, its budget was out of balance, spending was soaring, and taxpayers were being required to pay more and more in taxes for diminishing services. The state economy was in a tailspin, with businesses cutting back on investment or even closing and unemployment ticking up. Mitt made hard decisions that brought state spending under control. He restructured and consolidated government programs, paring back where necessary and finding efficiencies throughout.
Facing a state legislature dominated by Democrats, Mitt cast more than 800 vetoes as he brought conservative principles to state government. He cut red tape for small businesses, signed into law job-creating incentives, and fought hard to bring new businesses to the state. He eliminated a $3 billion deficit without borrowing or raising taxes. By 2007, at the end of Mitt's term, the state had accumulated a $2 billion rainy day fund in its coffers. This stringent fiscal discipline provided an essential backdrop for economic recovery. When Mitt came into office, the state was losing jobs every month. When he left office, the economy was generating new jobs by the thousands.
In 1999, the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics was on the verge of collapse. Thanks to his reputation as a superb manager, Mitt was asked to take over. The event had been bogged down in a bid-rigging scandal, sponsors were fleeing, and the budget was bleeding red ink. The attacks of September 11, 2001, just months before the start date, created a security nightmare. Some were contemplating scaling back the competition or even moving it out of the country.
Mitt set to work. In a remarkably short period, he revamped the organization's leadership, trimmed the budget, and restored public confidence. He oversaw an unprecedented security mobilization to assure the safety of the athletes and millions of international visitors, staging one of the most successful games ever held on U.S. soil.
Mitt's impressive skills did not come out of nowhere. He began his career in business. After graduating from Brigham Young University in 1971, he earned dual degrees from Harvard Law and Harvard Business School. After working as a business consultant for several years, Mitt founded the investment firm Bain Capital in 1984. Under his leadership, Bain Capital helped to launch or rebuild hundreds of companies, including household names such as Staples, Domino's Pizza, and The Sports Authority. As Bain Capital was growing in prominence, Mitt returned to his old consulting firm, Bain & Company, as CEO. In a time of financial turmoil at the company, he led a successful turnaround.
