Recipe For a Cold Winter's Night: Moosewood's Squash and Kale Risotto »
Risotto is so fucking great. It's the best food. It's hearty like a casserole, gluten-free, and you can throw basically anything into it and it tastes great. It's my new favorite thing; I had such a great time making the pumpkin apple risotto from Bust magazine (recipe in the Oct./Nov. 2009 issue) for Laura's thanksgiving potluck, that all I want to do now is throw everything in sight into a giant pot of olive oil, onions and arborio rice.
This recipe is perfect for mid-December, when the CSA box is full of squash, kale, lettuce, apples and citrus. I just happened to have everything on hand, which made it a lot easier. I highly recommend (1) making yourself a bourbon with bitters and a squeeze of lemon to start, and (2) throwing the latest Hood Internet mix #4 on the speakers because dang, THOSE ARE THE JAMS. You won't even feel like risotto is labor-intensive or takes a long time.
You'll need:
- 5 cups of vegetable stock. I dissolved two Rapunzel Bouillon cubes in five cups of water. It worked great. Fancy european vegan veggie broth, FTW.
- 1 cup chopped onion (about one big onion?)
- Olive oil. As much as you want, baby. But probably like 3 tsp on average.
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice.
- 1/2 cup white wine. Whatever's rotting in your fridge. You're cooking it anyway.
- 2 cups cubed peeled winter squash. (For me, this was about one whole squash like the kind pictured here.)
- 3 cups (or about a big bunch) stemmed and chopped kale.
- Shake of nutmeg (about 1/8 tsp)
- A lemon (which you should already have, from the bourbon drink.)
- Salt and pepper. Duh.
Moosewood's recipe calls for some shaved cheese, but it seriously does not taste any different without it, so don't worry about needing something to make up the flavor or texture. This risotto is totally off the hook with just what's listed above. The Moosewood recipe is also pretty loosey-goosey about the details (like stovetop temp, whether or not you should pre-cook the kale, etc.) so I'm just going to tell you what I did.
First, I roasted the squash yesterday. So, maybe you should have started this yesterday. But, preheat the oven to like 375 F, quarter the squash and rub it with Earth Balance and salt and pepper, and go do something else for a while. When you have soft cool squash later, chop it into cubes and peel off the outer skin, and that's what you'll use for the risotto.
To start, get your broth or bouillon water simmering. Mince the onion and chop the kale. In another big pot, heat up a couple tsps of olive oil, and throw in the minced onion. Enjoy that amazing fragrance. I like to throw a tiny pinch of sea salt in there too. Saute the onions for a few minutes.
Throw in the rice, and stir with a wooden spoon until the rice is all oily and mixed with the onions. Then, stir in the white wine and watch it absorb/evaporate. I enjoy watching this liquid absorption into arborio rice in a science class kind of way, which hopefully you do too, because you'll spend the next half hour watching it.
Then, you start ladling in about a half cup of the veggie broth at a time, about once every two to four minutes. You wait for it to mostly absorb each time. You should be stirring constantly, although you can take breaks if you have a nonstick pot.
When you have about two cups of broth left in the other pot, stir in the cubed squash and the raw kale*. This seems kind of crazy be cause it adds a ton of bulk to the pot contents and makes it hard to stir, but it will cook down. Just keep ladling in broth periodically, and it's good if you give it a few minutes with the lid on, too. Heat should be about medium to slightly high. Keep stirring and mushing together.
When you're getting to the tail end of the broth and the dish looks pretty mushed/cooked together, season it with salt, pepper and nutmeg, and grate about a tsp of lemon zest into it, and stir. I also squeezed in the lemon juice liberally, which the recipe did not call for, but turned out to be a good decision.
Eat while it's hot. Also, reheat it for lunch the next day, like I'll be doing.
*The recipe did not say to pre-cook the kale at all. Just stir in the raw kale and let the broth and rice cook it for you. But, kale is kind of a beast, and the dude thought it was a little tough in the risotto. So next time, I might pre-cook it a bit, in a saucepan with a little water and oil?

Vegan Sausage and Butter Bean Winter Cocottes »
This recipe is my current favorite cold weather comfort recipe, and it came together by accident. It started with a sale on Le Creuset* mini cocottes, loosely translated as "tiny and adorable cast iron baking pot". "Cocotte" is also an old-timey word for "high-class prostitute", and when these pots come out of the oven, you'll feel like a cooking pimp. They just make everything fancier and more pleasing to look at. And even though you don't really NEED the cocottes for this recipe (your usual Pyrex casserole dish will do nicely) sometimes mixing up your cookware can inspire you to try out new things.
So here goes. It's actually not that complicated. You're basically making some fresh tomato sauce, boiling potatoes, slicing it all up, then baking it together. Easy-peasy.
- 2 chipotle Field Roast brand sausages
- 3 big tomatoes, or about a pound and a half.
- Half a bunch of dino kale, or about a half dozen leaves.
- 5 smallish fingerling potatoes, or about 3/4 pound.
- 8 oz jarred or canned butter beans, rinsed. Cannellini are fine too. Annalisa is my brand of choice, available at Rainbow.
- Shallot, one medium clove.
- 1 Tbsp Earth Balance.
- 1 Tbsp olive oil or to taste.
- 1 tsp dried oregano or to taste.
- 1 tsp fennel seeds or to taste.
- 1 tsp adobo sauce (or chipotle sauce) or a bit less to tone down the spices.
- Preheat your oven to 400 F. In a small pot, boil water for potatoes and drop them in.
- Quarter the tomatoes, or cut them into workable chunks. Set them aside for now.
- Next, find a medium-sized saucepan and melt the Earth Balance on medium heat. If you have a cast-iron pan, that's the best, because you're going to be cooking tomatoes in here, and you already knew the vegan trick of cooking tomatoes in cast iron to get more iron in your diet, right? Well you do now!
- Slice up the shallot into fairly thin slices, and sauté them in the Earth Balance.
- Once the shallot is translucent, add the tomatoes, dried oregano and fennel seeds. Cover the saucepan and let it hang out for a bit on medium heat.
- How are the potatoes doing? Check them by sticking a fork in them. You want the fork to sink in but you don't want the skins to come off. If they're done, drain the potatoes and rinse them off.
- When the tomatoes have turned to a saucy mush, mix in the adobo sauce and let it all cook uncovered for another minute or so.
- Find a large mixing bowl. You're about to slice everything up and throw it into the bowl.
- Pull off the kale leaves from the stems, bunch them all up, and cut them into thin strips. Slice the Field Roast sausages and the potatoes into half-inch-thick slices. Put everything into the mixing bowl along with the beans and the tomato sauce you just made. Mix it all together.
- Spoon everything into the cocottes or the casserole dish, and drizzle the olive oil over everything.
- Set the cocottes on a baking sheet, bake for 35 minutes, then nom the hell out of it.
*If you've never heard of Le Creuset, they're the brand of cookware that everyone puts in their wedding gift registry. So if you've been to a lot of weddings, either you've bought your friends a lot of very expensive Le Creuset sauce pans, or you're like me and you put it off until all the good gifts are gone, leaving you with a monogrammed spatula and a napkin ring to choose between. Sometimes they have sales and if you already have—how should I put this to not sound creepy—"a problem" with kitchen accessories, then sometimes the "Add to cart" button presses itself by accident and boxes show up in the mail. Whoops.

A Tale of Two Fumbles
Sure, ultimately, the Hurricanes simply beat the Yellow Jackets in all phases of the game en route to a 35-10 victory.
But I thought the Tech hopes in this game hinged and turned on two fumbles that occured while the game was still in doubt:
Those two fumbles are a great example of the breaks that just haven't gone our way in 2010…breaks that DID go our way in 2009 en route to the ACC title game.
The Good
The Bad
The Ugly
What's Next?
Well…next…we play 3-7 (1-5) Duke at home. And we need to win to get bowl eligible.
The Blue Devils have no running game worth mentioning and only have wins over Elon, Navy, and Virginia this season.
But…they have taken Boston College and Maryland to the wire and played Miami tougher than we just did.
Sean Renfree (a GT commitment before Gailey was replaced with Johnson) has thrown for 2200+ yards and 12 touchdowns as a sophomore.
The Jackets will need to stop the run, force Renfree to throw, and capitalize on his mistakes…Renfree has thrown 15 INTs this season.
Go Jackets!
Beat Duke!

You pretty much summed up everything, Mr. Boggs. Kudos.
Hopefully we can bring it next week. Shouldn't have problems stopping a non-existent running game. Then again, we shouldn't have had problems with a freshman QB making his first ever road start, as you said.
Go Jackets!
November 14th, 2010

two big games ahead of us! winning them both would make for happy Tech fans!
November 14th, 2010

Hope this team still has desire…much desire.
4th down calls…if you makem, you look great. If you do not, you look like a goat. Same as many other things…

Got to stop getting out buts handed to us on the O and D lines. QB's cant set their feet because as soon as they come out of their drop they have to dodge the rush and most times its more than one guy. That is because they are too used to diving low all the time to block. Need OL coach to teach them to stand the DL up and engage them. It wont take long for the Rbs to be by them and it will open holes instead of having 300 lb'ers laying in the holes. On the perimeter those blocks are fine it is out in space within the line it should not happen. Stop playing Hill he cannot catch the ball and it has gotten in his head! On 4th or 3rd and 1 use the dive off guard and tackle gap to move the sticks then you can run the edges. Stop being cute on the play calling and move the chains!
Go JACKETS!

2 Tech Wins = Bowl trip again AND Dawgs staying home….that would put a good twist on a average season!

Just beat Georgia
November 14th, 2010
11:23 am
You guys really wantto actlike 2 fumbles is the reason you got your butts handed to you by a team who is not good on the road and was minus their starting quarterback??
that's funny.
I know you guys look at UGA's record, and think they are down and out. But they are going to wipe the ground with you and your jittery backup quarterback. And if you think you can stop their Offense, you need to take off the pee pee yellow glasses.
November 14th, 2010
11:29 am
that forward progress call was crap
November 14th, 2010
11:43 am
UGA will not only knock our jocks off but they'll hand us our heads on a silver platter. Our D and O lines suck. They get man handled by almost every team we play. My only saving grace for this team is that they're a young bunch. Our offense is pretty good they have several good young running backs . Couple that with their young QB's the offense should be ok. Whats going to make or break this team is the development of both lines. I just hope the young D linemen Shawn Greene, Denzel McCoy, and J.C. Lanier come on strong next year and Izan Cross gets even better. Our D rides on their shoulders. As far as the O line they are a young group. I do see them getting better. Its tough for RS Fresh. or true Fresh. to be successful at this level. Stay thirsty my friends. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TECH.
November 14th, 2010
11:56 am
Dasher I love tech but you are so right. I see UGA beating us 48-10 or worse. I'm a realist. UGA should have a much better record. A play here or there and they would be in the SEC championship game. Their only problem is UGA's D doesn't show up every game. I stick with my prediction I made a month ago UGA will play for the National Championship in 2012. And I am a Tech fan. My favorite Tech player was Rock Perdoni, All American nose tackle '69. Reading an article about him is what made me a Tech fan. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TECH.

12:05 pm
we may not beat duke and we have zero chance against georgia unless a falling satellite crushes all their starters as they leave the locker room. georgia went on the road and gave a good effort against the #2 team in the country…we got crushed at home by an unranked team playing their 4th-string QB.
November 14th, 2010
12:57 pm
The fumble at the 6 killed us. Instead of keeping it close with a TD, we gave it back and they marched right down to score again. The things that bothered me the most is that #17 did not seem to make an attempt to fall on the ball and keep the drive alive, and that CPJ did not seem to get after him as he came off the field????? Seems that I remember a punter in the spring game drop a ball and not jump on it, and CPJ was all over him….yet a critical game, at a critical time, we do not jump on a fumble that we EASILY could have recovered, and the guy gets a tap on the butt as he comes off the field????? Has CPJ lost his edge?
November 14th, 2010
1:49 pm
I have no confidence that this team can pull together anything to win either of our remaining games. UGA will hang 50+ on this defense and may add to that total on special teams. Washington and Sims are doing all they can in a tough situation. Anthony Allen is playing hard. Outside of that, it's hard to find positives.
November 14th, 2010
4:40 pm
reebok and nuke80 were two guys prior to the VT game indicating soo many points the loss would be….
PJ has stated he hates losing. The O is his baby and he thinks the world of it…just ask him. The D is AG. Johnson already stated he hates losing (did I say that already) and he certainly did pull the trigger on the D coord last year. So, should Al be worried?
November 14th, 2010
4:52 pm
A few weeks ago, prior to playing Clemson, there was an article in here about our next 3 big games; Clemson, VT and Miami. I said we'd be 0-3 after them and everyone disagreed. GT fans – get your head out of the sand. There's a reason we lost to Kansas. This team is below average at best. Sad isn't it considering we were 9-1 at this time last year. Typical Tech – can never sustain anything or be a consistent winning program. Why is it Ohio State can every year???
November 14th, 2010
5:21 pm
This team sucks so bad that it is going to be scary how bad a whipping we will take vs UGA.
Hell, we may take one from the Blue Devils. I wouldn't be surprised at this point.
November 14th, 2010
5:24 pm
that is their saving thing this year again-eat their non-rival anymore since
they didn't do anything else over there-No N.C-No SEC-Still didn't beat Gators-
Just hope Jackets can add to their mystery!

obviosly if you think UGA is a typical 5-6 team, you are in for a RUDE awakening in 13 days!!!!!!

And I have direct, inside information, that IF (and that is a BIG "if") Tech is to win in Athens, and your thug players(sic) decide to vandalize the Hedges again, there will be some handcuffs slapped on some Techie players(sic)
November 14th, 2010

So please pass this info alongto your thug players(sic), and let let them know they might get a "scared straight" version of how strict Clarke County PD can be……..

12:30 am
I'm a lifelong fan and current students that's going up for the Athens game & I'm just goin up to hang out with friends because we're gonna get killed. I honestly am not worried about AJ Green, b/c I think they can beat us without attempting a pass. They're gonna do the same thing they did last yr, just even worse. Line up Power I & shove it down our throats, they may run for 400 yds.
November 15th, 2010
4:28 am
Why should everyone be so scared about a lousy humper team with a lousey coach. I hope our players are in on these blogs., and get the message.Most all the games are close, and I have no reason to think this one will be also. The mutts , as we have seen all season can be beaten. Nesbit will be back with aqn attitude, I have this from a good source.

Somebody up there said Allen looked good for getting 97 yards. He sure didn't look good last year, only Dwyer and Joshua did. And this year he's only scored on good runs during Homecoming. This year when given the ball 3 times in a row, he couldn't make a 1st down, the Tech tries to catch VT offsides, didn't work, march backwards 5 yards, then Barrick is the one who jumps offsides. VT had it easy when Allen ran it on the same run 3 times in a row, a poor call by CPJ. Tech has ugly uniforms this year and had the same last year. They don't pass, they snap the ball at the line of scrimmage under the center instead of a shotgun at times or every time, and a good D line grabs Joshua at the line and immediately tackles him. NC State only snapped the ball at the line of scrimmage near or in the red zone, and it worked. Some teams this year wear two different colored helmets to entertain. Tech only wears the gold ones. When I was at Tech they wore white for a couple of years, and have for only one game since, when Gailey's team played Groh's Virginia team. Tech's program is not Div 1 caliber. Their football program needs to drop out of Div 1 and play teams like SC State, Georgia Southern, Elon, Charleston Southern, Jacksonville State and Furman, who they lost to under Curry at BD Stadium. Recall the giant holes SC State opened up in our D line this year? Tech might even want to start playing Georgia State each year.
November 15th, 2010
8:16 am
Tech has not worn Division 1 caliber uniforms for two years.
November 15th, 2010
8:37 am
CPJ's magic wand is for Tech to wear the EXACT SAME white jerseys from three seasons ago when they went to the Chick-Fil-A bowl, EXACT SAME white pants from that year, and white helmets. When they wear dark, I recommend old gold jerseys, same white pants, and gold helmets. If they do well that year, wear the same EVERY year until they don't do well. Pass more, like Joe Hamilton did, and maybe hire him as the Offensive Coordinator(or new coach). Hire somebody like Pat Swilling as the Defensive Coordinator, or maybe Phillipe Claybrooks.
November 15th, 2010
9:11 am
I question their toughness and desire. They just are not aggressive and let the other team set tempo. There is something amiss for Cooper Taylor to just leave and the defense to look out of place, out of gas, and out of answers. Somewhere cancer is growing and needs to be cut out or maybe there is simply a lack of ability. I know this, if we lose to UGA the last thing I want to hear is that "they wanted it more than we did". How did we show heart and character that turned into wins with walkons and underclassmen and now with experience we look lost?
November 15th, 2010
9:52 am
Yeah, FALL on the fumble Orwin should have done! Score there and it's 21-17.
But, just like when GT drove it down UM's throat to open the 3rd qtr cutting the deficit to 14-10 and maybe taking momentum, I can't believe that GT wouldn't have given up ANOTHER easy TD, and down by 11 again, 28-17. It's been this way all year!! Clemson, VT, NCST, Kansas. The D can't sustain any "mo" whatsoever!
November 15th, 2010
12:21 pm
So Durham & Barnhart
Just said on the radio that the SEC will not Suspend ANY UGA player that broke the rules in the Fight and Rushing the Field during the Auburn v UGA game.
The SEC is a JOKE. They make rules and don't even act like they matter.
UGA quit whinning about AUBRUN breaking the RULES and going after your QB unless you want Most of your starting O and most of your starting D to have to sit the TECH game. You had too many players break the rules rushing the field.
UGA fans will love the TECH game. It kicks at 7:45 on ESPN. Thank God I don't go to Athens anymore. All the DRUNK UGA fans are the worst. Don't even think there is another SEC teams fans that are as CLASSLESS as DRUNK DAWGS.
November 15th, 2010
1:02 pm
Actually….it was 3 fumbles….
The fumble that Tarrant picked up out of the pile was a TD waiting to happen, if not for the alert play of the ONLY Miami player who could have stopped him….
November 16th, 2010
12:36 pm
How about a tale of tech just getting their asses beat. And by the way. Didn't Miami lose 2 fumbles inside tech's 10? GT is lucking they didn't get beat by 40 points.
November 16th, 2010
12:49 pm
5150 P.O.A.D want some cheese with your whine? UGA will kick GT's azz with half their team missing.
November 16th, 2010
6:23 pm
We should beat Duke because they do not run the football well. I admit that UGA's offense is very potent but remember that they have not beaten anyone of substance. They lost to Colorado (with AJ Greene I believe), who is not much better than Kansas. We have a chance if we can limit our mistakes (unlikely). We give our opponents way to many second chances on offense because of stupid mistakes. That is how UGA lost a lot of games last year. They recovered their fumbles in their game with us (unlike most games in 2009) and won.. Their defense is not very good either. After the Auburn game I never want to hear any more comments about us chop blocking.
November 17th, 2010
1:36 pm
I don't know about you others, but I am so tired of the 3-4 defense. It is designed to stop a pro team that runs occassionally just to keep the defense honest, but does not expect to gain anything with it. The pass is their offense. We've seen a little improvement in pass defense, but you can run all day against GT. I don't understand why anyone passes against them. I, too, worry about Duke, and have no expectations of beating Georgia.
November 17th, 2010
5:41 pm
How can any Tech fan put a positive spin on the end of this season. Beating Duke means nothing but a low class meaningless bowl. Georgia will kick us again, remember Johhson states the Georgia game does not define Tech's season. Gailey's players are gone after this season. Gailey could recruit,could not coach! Teams have adjusted to Johnson's offense, but he has not and will not adjust. Unfortunately it will take three years of misery before he is fired. Not being negative, just honest!!!!
November 18th, 2010
7:07 am
johnson is right. 1 game doesnt define a season. You are being negative, and honest. Cry babies will be out in full force if we dont beat them in athens over the holiday.
November 18th, 2010
8:29 am
yjs'01 says beat Duke and earn a bid to a meaningless bowl; I would not be at all surprised if we lose to Duke, and no gift bowl for a team that lost to NC State, VT, Kansas, Clemson and Miami; remember how State man-handled Tech with their pro baseball player cube?; what uniforms from this year would fans be willing to try to see Tech wear at a bowl- any?; uniforms CPJ has a problem with, and it's called no short term memory from his 1st year of white and old gold got an "A" in that course from the Tech Athletic Association; losing short term memory is what happens to pot smokers on pot sometimes; CPJ needs to be given some bloodwork rewuired by the AA to see if he has any THC in his blood this year; and the Georgia game is a coin toss, but I would have to give the nod to Georgia because of their side stripes being multicolored, while Tech's are extra wide, long, one-colored and unstreamlined-looking, clown-like looking, like Sad Sack's fireworks and peacan logs tourist stop down on coast Hwy 17 just south of Savannah- sad team, Sad Sack, boo hoo

WOW,invaded by the uga buttlickers..So uga girls,if you think ugay is gonna beat GT by 30 why dont you take your life savings and go bet on that game?uga and life savings.uhmm never mind.ugay is alot better than the 5-6 record?They havent beat a team with a winning record this year have they.Yea ugay is a Monster…GTvs uga is a rival game and ANYTHING can happen..GO JACKETS!!
November 19th, 2010
5:31 pm
As the last post on a very cold Tech blog, I wanted to wish you nerds good luck against Duke. Please remember that this is an athletic event so leave your slide rules and Flair pens at home…Clearsil optional. I hope you win because it would take some of the joy out of our annual beatdown should you lose. Instead of a bowl, there is always DragonCon.

A $500,000 cash-only bail has been set for a 26-year-old Pleasant Grove man accused of driving his car onto the sidewalk Sunday morning and hitting and killing a newlywed woman.
Ramiro Serrano Hernandez drove an SUV onto the sidewalk near 844 N. 100 West early Sunday and hit Ashlee Zimmer, 22, who was sitting on the sidewalk smoking a cigarette, according to police.

Hernandez lost control of the SUV, hitting Zimmer's car and then Zimmer, police said. Her body was dragged beneath the SUV as it careened through a fence and hit a building.
Zimmer's husband of four months heard the crash, found his wife pinned under the car and called police.
When paramedics arrived, Hernandez had fled, Martinez said. Zimmer was rushed to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Orem police Lt. Craig Martinez said alcohol may have been a factor in the accident.
Hernandez appeared before 4th District Judge Steven Hansen on Monday morning, where the bail amount was set, according to Deputy Utah County Attorney Craig Johnson.
Johnson said his office asked for the high bail because Hernandez is classified as an "aggravated re-entry illegal immigrant" and is a flight risk. Johnson said Hernandez was deported in 2008, and is likely in the country illegally.
Hernandez will appear in court again next Sept. 3. He is being held in the Utah County Jail on suspicion of automobile homicide, though no charges have been filed as of Monday morning. Johnson said his office has until Hernandez's next court appearance to file charges.
Earlier Sunday, prior to the fatal accident, Lindon police cited Hernandez for intoxication and disorderly conduct while he was at a party, Martinez said. A friend gave Hernandez a ride home, according to Martinez, but Hernandez later decided to drive.

The storm left many residents facing prohibitive increases to flood insurance premiums if they choose to move back. Some have spent insurance payouts on houses elsewhere and have asked that their homes in Braithwaite be demolished. Others are taking their time considering whether home improvements or changes to local levees could make it affordable to insure their houses in the future.

Pet Planning
What Will Happen to Your Pet When You're No Longer Around?
When it comes to protecting your pet, no one does it better than you do.
You love them... You feed them... You make sure they have everything they need to live a happy, healthy life.
But what would happen if you were no longer around? Who would care for your pet? Would your friends and family know what foods to feed or what medications to give?
How can you ensure that your pet continues to receive the love and care they need?
What a Pet Trust Can Do for You and Your Pet
A Pet Trust is a powerful legal document that gives you the ability to not only set aside funds for your pet's future care but also stipulate exactly what kind of care you expect your pet to receive.
- Complete control over every aspect of your pet's future care
- Stipulate their foods, their schedules, even their veterinarian
- Revocable, so you can change and amend your trust at any time
- Designate a separate trustee to oversee the funds and create a "checks and balances" system within your trust
- Can be activated if you become disabled or incapacitated (a Will can't do that)
And because a Pet Trust is fully enforceable by the courts, you can rest easy knowing that your pet's well-being will always be safe.
Is My Pet Really at Risk?
According to animal welfare organization "2nd Chance 4 Pets," over 500,000 pets are abandoned each year due to the death or disability of their human companions. That's 500,000 too many. What's worse is that those pets could have been protected with just a little planning. Think about it: what will happen to your pet if you become disabled? What if you're no longer able to speak for yourself? How will the courts know what to do with your pet? And how can you make sure that your beloved animal doesn't end up in a shelter somewhere or worse, alone on the streets? Because sadly, that happens all the time.
With a Pet Trust, you can prevent your pet from becoming another statistic. Give us a call today - together, we can make sure your pet has a happy, healthy life.

|2xcy, resolution 1.84Å ()

|Exo-alpha-sialidase, with EC number 18.104.22.168
|FirstGlance, OCA, PDBsum, RCSB

Aspergillus fumigatus is a filamentous fungus that can cause severe respiratory disease in immunocompromised individuals. A putative sialidase from A. fumigatus was recently cloned and shown to be relatively poor in cleaving N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) in comparison to bacterial sialidases. Here we present the first crystal structure of a fungal sialidase. When the apo structure was compared to bacterial sialidase structures, the active site of the Aspergillus enzyme suggested that Neu5Ac would be a poor substrate due to a smaller pocket that normally accommodates the acetamido group of Neu5Ac in sialidases. A sialic acid with a hydroxyl in place of an acetamido group is 2-keto-3-deoxynononic acid (KDN). We show that KDN is the preferred substrate for the A. fumigatus sialidase and that A. fumigatus can utilise KDN as a sole carbon source. A 1.4Angstrom resolution crystal structure of the enzyme in complex with KDN reveals KDN in the active site in a boat conformation, and nearby a second binding site occupied by KDN in a chair conformation, suggesting that polyKDN may be a natural substrate. The enzyme is not inhibited by the sialidase transition state analogue 2-deoxy-2,3-dehydro-N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac2en) but is inhibited by the related KDN2en that we show bound to the enzyme in a 1.84Angstrom resolution crystal structure. Using a fluorinated KDN substrate, we present a 1.5Angstrom resolution structure of a covalently bound catalytic intermediate. The A. fumigatus sialidase is therefore a KDNase with a similar catalytic mechanism to Neu5Ac exosialidases, and this study represents the first structure of a KDNase.

Mark Carney, the former head of the Bank of Canada who has just taken over as governor of the Bank of England, presided Thursday over his first monthly meeting of Britain's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). The meeting produced no change in monetary policy, yet Carney is already being hailed as Britain's economic savior. The BBC even paid him the greatest compliment that any middle-aged white male could wish for, when it compared his appearance and hairstyle to George Clooney's. Carney may continue basking in this adulation because he is lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time.
He has arrived at the BoE at the precise moment when the economic figures have started to suggest that the British economy is pulling out of its longest and deepest recession on record. One of the main reasons for this turnaround has been a sudden pickup in housing prices and mortgage lending, the traditional driving forces of the British economy. This improvement, in turn, has reflected a bold new government-backed borrowing program, whereby the British Treasury is guaranteeing up to £600,000 of new mortgage debt for anyone who can put up 5 percent of equity into buying a home. While this audacious policy attracted surprisingly little attention in the media when George Osborne announced it in his March budget, British homeowners and bankers were quick to catch on. As a result, house prices are rising rapidly across Britain, mortgage lending has rebounded to its highest level since the Lehman crisis and homebuilders' shares have almost doubled. And all this is before the government incentives are expanded from newly-built houses to secondhand properties and remortgages in January 2014. For the moment, house prices are being bid up by cash-rich buyers who are front-running the government subsidies, in the confident expectation that a full-scale property boom will begin in 2014.
Given the powerful response to the government's mortgage subsidies, the additional quantitative easing that was widely expected from Mark Carney's "monetary activism" may no longer be required. It may be enough for the BoE to provide commercial banks with liquidity to finance the government's planned credit expansion and to keep short-term rates near zero. Instead of trying to persuade the hawks on the MPC who repeatedly thwarted his predecessor Mervyn King's requests for more QE, Carney may succeed in reviving the British economy simply by making a few speeches — the "forward guidance" he used in Canada to convince investors that interest rates would stay near zero for several years ahead.
But what will the impact be on the British economy if Carney and Osborne manage to generate a property and mortgage boom? Refloating the economy on a wave of property appreciation and mortgage borrowing would return Britain to the debt-driven, consumer-led growth of the pre-Lehman period. It would mean abandoning the "structural rebalancing" from consumption and services to exports and manufacturing that Mervyn King believed was essential to Britain's economic rehabilitation. But King's views are no longer relevant — and his record of economic management suggests that a degree of skepticism about his analysis may be in order.
Britain's economic history suggests that the conventional wisdom about the benefits of rebalancing from services to manufacturing may simply be wrong. In the five years of attempted rebalancing since the financial crisis started in 2008, Britain's economic performance has been abysmal. GDP has lagged behind every G7 country apart from Italy. GDP per capita, the broadest measure of living standards and productivity, has done even worse, falling by 6.7 percent from its 2008 peak, with no evidence of recovery since 2010. The industrial production record has been just as bad. Despite the official efforts to promote manufacturing and the big devaluation of the pound after 2008, industrial production has been even weaker in Britain than in France — down by 13.6 percent since its peak in May 2007, compared with 13.5 percent in France.

HELSINKI (AP) — Would you board flight 666 to HEL on Friday the 13th?
For superstitious travelers that might be tempting fate. But Finnair passengers on AY666 to Helsinki — which has the 3 letter designation HEL — don't seem too bothered. Friday's flight is almost full.
Finnair pilot Juha-Pekka Keidasto, who will fly the flight from Copenhagen to Helsinki, says "it has been quite a joke among the pilots."
Friday the 13th is considered bad luck in many countries and the number 666 also has negative biblical associations.
Some airlines take these fears seriously and don't have seat row 13 on board. However, the negative connotations of Friday the 13th are a relatively new phenomenon for northern Europeans and Finnair keeps row 13.

Michelle Nicole Ayers had her initial court appearance Monday and her bond was set at $7,500. She doesn't have an attorney yet.
Phoenix police say 47-year-old Christopher James Kutcher died early Saturday after his SUV was hit from behind by an alleged drunk driver.
Police say tests on Ayers showed a blood-alcohol level than three times the state's legal limit.
Authorities say Ayers' vehicle was traveling at a high rate of speed upon impact and Kutcher's SUV hit a block wall and a tree.
Ayers has a status conference scheduled Friday and a preliminary hearing on June 17.

Cancer Health Center
Nov. 2, 2010 --The human papillomarvirus (HPV) shot is a cost-effective way to prevent genital warts and anal cancer in men who have sex with men. This is the finding of a new study that appears in The Lancet.
In 2010, there will be about 5,260 new cases of anal cancer diagnosed in the U.S, and about 720 people will die from this disease, according to the American Cancer Society. There are no routine prevention programs or screening tests for anal cancer.
HPV vaccines protect against certain types of HPV that are linked to cervical cancer and anal cancer. A sexually transmitted disease, HPV or genital warts can be transmitted through vaginal, anal, and oral sex. Nearly 80% of cases of anal cancer are linked to two of the types of HPV that the vaccine targets.
Vaccines for High-Risk Men
Jane J Kim, PhD, an assistant professor of health decision science in the department of health policy and management at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, constructed models to assess the cost-effectiveness of the HPV shot across a range of potential scenarios involving men who have sex with men. The scenarios were based on age, previous exposure to the types of warts that are targeted by the vaccine, and HIV status. Men who test positive for HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, are at higher risk for HPV and anal cancer.
Researchers used measurements called "QALY." QALY -- which stands for "quality adjusted life year" -- is a measurement of both quality and length of life. In the study, a cost-effectiveness ratio of less than $50,000 per QALY gained is considered a "good value for money."
Vaccinating men who have sex with other men against HPV between the ages of 12 to 26 is a cost-effective strategy, Kim concludes. If further study shows that this vaccine is also effective against HPV-related cancers it may be an even more cost-effective intervention.
Who Should Get the HPV Shot?
Casting a wide net -- routine vaccination of all men and boys -- may not be the best way to prevent anal cancer and genital warts in this high-risk group, Kim writes. Instead, targeting men who have sex with men between the ages of 12 and 26 may be the way to go, she says.
"Such a strategy is very likely to be a valuable health investment for a high-risk population that otherwise relies on no other organized prevention strategy against an illness with a high disease burden," she writes.
Younger men may not be aware of their sexual identity or willing to disclose it, and this is one of the reasons some experts were calling for routine vaccination of all boys.
"Programs targeting HPV vaccination of males who have sex with other males at older ages -- when more men have established and are willing to disclose their sexual identity -- might be a good approach to reach this high-risk group," she says.

This Food Stock Has Good Near-Term Upside Potential
Anjali is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Most of the food giants, including General Mills (NYSE: GIS), ConAgra Foods (NYSE: CAG) and Kellogg (NYSE: K), have suffered a great deal over the last year and their shares have significantly underperformed the broader markets. The following chart summarizes the stock price movement of these companies over the last 12 months.
We can see that while the S&P 500 has gained more than 17% over the last year, shares of General Mills and Kellogg have actually seen a decline. However, the earnings of food companies seem to be improving, as anticipated inflation relief in the near term is benefiting gross margins while lower pricing is driving volume gains. After struggling for most of the year, both General Mills and ConAgra Foods posted better than expected earnings last month; as a result, their shares are finally seeing some upward momentum.
While I expect grain, meat, and dairy inflation to be a headwind for 2013, I believe companies are well hedged through year end, with a benign inflation outlook for manufacturers. Overall I am positive on the food sector, given its relative valuation vs. other staples (valuation gap between packaged food and other staples sectors has widened to 15%) and a higher probability of consensus EPS beats. Kellogg would be my choice for a food company that has a good upside versus expectations.
Why Kellogg?
Kellogg is set to report its Q3 earnings on Nov. 1, and I expect good results as EPS beats by General Mills and ConAgra Foods depict strong earnings trends from packaged food companies; particularly for companies where inflation fears tied to this summer's drought have caused recent underperformance.
Kellogg guided to a very high number (7%) for inflation this year, but the company's commodity inflation might not be that bad considering ConAgra's commodity inflation for the last quarter came in at 3% (significantly below the 4%-6% the company previous forecast for the year). General Mills is also expecting a modest cost inflation of 2%-3%.
Kellogg is buying "food grade" grains that are grown in a wider swaths of the country that have been less impacted by the drought. Moreover, the spike in grain prices is likely to be short-lived, as the inflation is supply-related rather than demand-related. South American countries are increasing land area to compensate for the U.S. drought, and livestock producers are finding substitute sources of feed.
Kellogg also has a room to post better volume in its core category, as General Mills has backed off in Cereal promotion in US and Europe. Thus, I see a path for near-term outperformance at Kellogg as it should benefit from the market share losses that General Mills alluded to in both the U.S. and in Europe.
Another positive is the strong showing of Kellogg's newly acquired Pringles business. The company recently indicated that the strong performance from Pringles brand offset the anticipated costs a recent recall of Mini-Wheats cereal. Moreover, the acquisition of Pringles provides significant ongoing synergy opportunities, as the company expects $50-$75 million in cost savings exclusively from P&G overhead reduction.
To sum up, I think Kellogg offers a good near-term upside potential. We have already seen that other food companies have lowered their commodity inflation guidance, and thus I think Kellogg's commodity inflation this year might not be as bad as feared. Moreover, the company should gain market share from General Mills in the cereal category. Kellogg's recently-acquired Pringles is posting good results and offers a good long-term growth prospects.
Longer-term, the health of Kellogg appears to be solid and the company continues to leverage profits from the successful execution of its volume-to-value strategy against its brands. Thus, I recommend buying it.

Rapper 50 Cent is using a new VH1 "Behind The Music" TV special to keep an investigation into the death of his former manager Chris Lighty alive, insisting he still doesn't accept the hip-hop mogul killed himself.
The rapper reportedly hired a team of private detectives to look into Lighty's death after his friend was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head in his Bronx apartment in August. New York Medical Examiner officials ruled the tragedy a suicide, but 50 Cent is convinced there's much more to the story and he has opened up about the loss of his pal in a new TV special, which aired on Wednesday night.
Bing: 50 Cent and Erin Andrews
He says, "I got the phone call. It's almost like the noise turned off. I was just like, 'Nah, I couldn't actually see him killing himself. I can't really believe that I just heard you say that to me'. To this day, I don't believe he killed himself."
And his longtime friend and associate Tony Yayo also spoke out about the tragedy, adding, "Chris Lighty was a real cocky guy. To me it just didn't make sense. People saying that he killed himself over finances and money, I really don't see that. If he was broke, he could go out and make a million dollars the next day, that easily. He's a hustler, just like 50."
And Yayo insists 50 Cent is still in a lot of pain after losing his friend and mentor, "I know 50 is still hurting, he may not show it. He's not good at showing pain, but I know he's hurting inside still."
The tough guy of rap admits, "Chris Lighty was a huge portion of my actual career. It's difficult to adjust to not have someone around that's in your life."

Bagley: Stimulus. Budgets. Infrastructure. Income inequality. Taxes. Job creators. Expansion of government. Public-sector unions. Pensions. Health care. Jobs ... So much to address and so little time. In the future you'll be back and we can dedicate quality time to each. In the meantime, while I agree that the stimulus could have been better focused (40 percent went to tax cuts — it was the only way certain Republicans would sign on), according to the Congressional Budget Office the stimulus "[i]ncreased the number of people employed by between 1.4 million and 3.3 million." Unlike other recessions, the number of people employed in the public sector has actually fallen, so these numbers represent an increase in private sector employment. A better crafted Stimulus II with an emphasis on infrastructure could create millions more jobs, but good luck with that; Congress would rather lean on the fence and watch Obama sweat.

FAQs About Cost of Attendance and/or Budget
Click on a question below for the answer. Click on the question again to close.
- What is Cost of Attendance and/or Budget?
- The Cost of Attendance (COA) is the amount the University calculates or estimates
that it will cost you to attend for the academic year. Costs includes: tuition/fees,
room and board, books and supplies, transportation, and personal expenses. This figure is used solely for the determination of financial aid and does not represent
a figure you will owe the University.
Budgets are calculated for undergraduates and graduate and professional students living both on and off campus. A student may not exceed his cost of attendance or budget with any type of financial assistance. Pell grant is the only exception.
Room and board, books, supplies, transportation and personal costs used in the COA or budget are only estimates and will vary with each student.
- Will I be charged the total Cost of Attendance on my University bill?
- No, only tuition and fees, on campus housing and a meal plan are paid directly to WKU and will be reflected on your University bill. You may choose to have your books charged to your University bill also.
- How is my aid determined?
- The EFC (Expected Family Contribution) on your SAR (Student Aid Report) is a measure
of your family's ability to pay for college. The financial aid office establishes
a Cost of Attendance (COA). The COA includes tuition, fees, estimated living expenses,
and books and supplies. Financial need is an official term for how much need-based
financial aid you're eligible for. Your financial need is calculated by subtracting
the EFC from COA.
To put it simply, the equation is used is:
COA – EFC = Financial Need
In order for you to receive need-based aid, your Cost of Attendance must be greater than your Expected Family Contribution.
- What can I do if I do not receive enough financial aid to cover my educational expenses?
- If additional funds are needed to finance your education, you and your parents may want to explore other non-need-based program options. Your parents may be able to borrow from the Federal Direct PLUS Loan program. You may want to consider applying for applying for an alternative loan. It should be noted that alternative loans can be expensive and should only be considered as a last resort.
- What should I do if my financial situation changes?
- If you or your parents (for dependent students) experience a change in your financial situation, you can request that the Financial Aid Office reevaluate your aid eligibility. You will be asked to complete a Special Circumstances Form describing the change and to provide some form of substantiating documentation. Common situations that may be considered are loss of employment, a reduction in income, unreimbursed medical/dental expenses, divorce and death.

Welcome to The Gowan Group
The Gowan Group is a family-owned holding company controlling many successful trading companies.
Founded in 1969 by the late Con Smith, the Group is most closely associated with motor distribution through its distribution of Peugeot in Ireland. The Group also distributes a number of other blue chip brand names in Ireland including Franke, Neff, Aga, Elica, NordMende Home Appliances and TV's, LG Home Appliances, Breville, Insinkerator, Fratelli Onofri range cookers, La Cornue among others.
Motor retailing also plays an important role in our continuing success story. In Dublin, Peugeot cars are sold and serviced at three flagship premises. In late 2004 the Honda brand was added to our existing retail outlet in Dun Laoghaire and in late 2008 to the new Gowan Motors, Navan Road outlet. Gowan Leasing serves as a natural extension to the retail services. Gowan Motors on the Navan Road (formerly DG Motors) has undergone extensive development since its acquisition in July 2008 and in June 2009, less than a year after its purchase, the new state-of-the-art sales and aftersales facilities now houses new showrooms for Peugeot, Citroën, Honda, Opel and KIA cars. The centre offers new car and light commercial vehicles sales and service all under one roof.
