Is Society to Blame When a Mother Kills Her Children?
Dr. Wendy Walsh: Twenty-nine-year-old South Carolina mother Shaquan Duley, accused of suffocating her two toddler boys on August 15 and then strapping their bodies into car seats and pushing her car into a river, was certainly desperate. And while the media and public vilify her for committing such heinous crimes, there's a piece of me that feels deep sympathy. I wonder how much we can blame ourselves, as partners in her society.
RIDICULOUS to even try and blame ANYONE but the mothers! NO ONE FORCED THEM TO HAVE CHILDREN! And if she was poor and jobless, why on earth was she breeding? It's not the relatives responsibility to raise that mother's kids. I've had to deal with that situation in my family - a sister who pops out kids and expects grandmom, aunties and uncles to all "pitch" in - um, I've got my own kids and life to deal with. You want kids, you raise 'em. You're on food stamps? Well then you certainly should be having kids because you can't afford them. I'm so tired of this non-accountable, lazy, self-entitled generation that wants to blame everyone and everything for their own wrong-doings!!
Right on Jamie! This article asks where was all the programs that could have helped save these children…the answer? Right in front of this mothers face! There are sooo many programs that are designed to help families like this in need. Do people take advantage of them? No. Whens the last time you drove by a planned parenthood and the parking lot was full…never, but everyday you hear about another unwanted baby. She has no one to blame but herself, perhaps if she had made better decisions in the past, she wouldnt have feel that she needed to kill her children to save them from starvation. And we all know those kids wouldnt have starved…food stamps and WIC. Those programs provide alot of food, I pay my taxes to support programs like that. Programs that will feed her kids with money out of my pocket. And she def. doesnt look to starved herself!
I have issues with this article. 29 is just not THAT young!! While I do wonder about the father(s)involvement, this woman did have other options than to brutally murder two little boys who in no way could fight her back!!! I sympathize with the fact that she was overwhelmed…..but c'mon, she is old enough to know and do better! She did not have to choose such a tragic end for those two little boys. They HAD no choice! Imagine their last moments……..simply horrifying.
Blame others, come on. Seriously to try and play on our empathy for this lady is seriously twisted. The whole she had three children bs is even more pathetic because there are such things as BIRTH CONTROL! To ever blame having 2, 3 or a ton of kids is ridiculous because there are ways to not get pregnant in the first place!
Try NOT having sex! And I agree, there are options and programs. And fine, if she does not want to get off her butt and apply for the programs and do some legwork, give the kids up to the system. It may not be the best, but it certainly beats murder!
are you for real going to bash the person who wrote this… this is just another point of view that no one can handle.. i mean yes the women did something horrible…but there is no way someone could be in the right mind to do that… something was wrong here.. and there were probably many people who noticed it in her circle and no one said anything! i think society should take blame on this partly because no one would give a single parent a chance at a job..daycare help is a joke..and i have been on welfare and got foodstamps and it wasnt because i wanted to live off the system.. i use to make 50k a year.. and its gone everything.. you shouldn't knock anyone who has to use assistance..doesnt mean everyone who has used it is doing something illegal or doesn't want to try.. i know there are people out there driving escalades and stopping to pick up their ebt card but i am not one of them and dont appreciate the society label of that! this lady needed help and the help she got wasnt enough.. regardless of how she got where she was the kids were a blessing and that should never be questioned.. sucks that we don't live in a more helping and loving society like other cultures do… instead of always ME ME ME IT SHOULD BE HOW CAN I HELP YOU YOU YOU!
I agree with Crystal. The point was not to condone or overlook what this woman did, but to open up the eyes of society. I'm on welfare but I certainly don't want to be. I'm out looking for a job every day, walking, with a baby in a stroller because help for daycare…oh there is none. Then it makes me scared for when I do get a job..where's my daughter gonna go while I'm at work? The point of the article was to help you see what this woman is going through. Yeah she did something horrible, but where were her resources. Yes there are some but 98% of them cost money. Money we don't have because the little bit of money we do have goes to diapers and wipes and other things for our kid(s). She's trying to open up your eyes so you can see the big picture not just what's in front of you, or only what you choose to see. But EVERYTHING.
Crystal are you serious? The first way to get help is to help yourself. She was invited over by a friend and declined. She refused help! Those that have struggled know that even the littlest bit of help is something. How dare anyone blame society for someones personal actions! She chose her actions. She chose to ignore help. She chose to murder her children that she chose to lay down and have. How can anyone else be blamed for what she chose to do? And yes I understand some things are not a choice, like not having a job because of the economy. But how many people are doing what they can, legally, to get through it. There are options for everyone. You say those in her circle may have seen signs of this coming and didn't say anything, she chose to have those people in her life. There comes a point and time when everyone is accountable for their own actions. They need to be held to that as well.
I strongly agree with Jamie. She had many choices and choose to make the wrong ones. Where is the personal responsibility? These days it is everyone fault but the person who made the decision. Can't pay my mortgage? Lenders fault that I didn't know what I was signing up for. Can't pay my credit card bill? Lenders fault for me not reading what I signed and agreed to. Decided to have sex and babies even though I couldn't afford them. Society's fault. Give me a break! There are evil people in this world and she is one of them.
She should have killed herself instead of those babies.
Three things come to mind when I read this article: fear, selfishness, and perseverance. I went through a pretty rough time after my divorce from my child's father so I can relate to the feelings of being overwhelmed. However, EVERYONE gets those feelings no matter if you are married, divorced, single, rich, poor, whatever. Its how we deal with those feelings that determine how we live our lives. I, like her, was very fearful of the future (how will I pay for daycare? how will I ever make it? will I ever find love again?) I, like her, experienced feelings of selfishness (if I didn't have a kid I could be doing x,y,z…). But one major thing we don't have in common is the fact that I chose to take that long, difficult walk through the tunnel of despair and I chose to keep going no matter what. I worked seven days a week, was on a tight budget, had to raise my son and take care of my car and house on my own, and on many occassions I cried and wished for my own life to end. Today, I am glad that I made that choice. Unfortunately, she did not. Society is not to blame for our own individual actions. There is ALWAYS hope. When a negative thought enters your mind and you're going through tribulations, immediately change your thoughts. As evidenced here, one negative thought can lead to a disatrous ending.
Right on Angie!
Right on Angie!
I mean how much more help can she get? We complain about not getting any assistance for us middle class, but the poor have SO many programs, etc. She refused help. There were other ways she could have handled it. She knew about birth control. she just didn't care about her future. Also, I wonder how her mother feels, how much guilt she feels right now. This is a perfect example of why these programs for the poor, needy, uneducated are needed & AVAILABLE & she refused any help.
I don't believe that society can or should be held responsible when a parent decides to murder their child. The author of the article asks where all these different forms of assistance were when this mother needed them. I say they were there and ask my own question: why didn't this mother seek out the various forms of assistance before she made this decision? Why should it be my responsibility to make sure that my neighbor doesn't kill her children? Do I not have enough to worry about with raising my own children, and trying to provide for them? I live in the same economy this mother did, and I would never even briefly consider murdering my children as an option to solving my problems.
Society is only responsible for so much. There are countless things that we can and should be doing something about, but there's also a certain point at which each individual has to take responsibility for their own life, their own choices, and cannot blame society when they make bad choices or act irresponsibly and then must face the consequences. It's just like a child blaming their parents for what the child does: there comes a point where it is no longer the parent's responsibility and is now the child's.
that is ridiculous. i cannot agree with this. i am 22 years old and have 3 children under 3. i am a stay at home mother and i do have a supportive mom but she is always busy so i rarely get a second hand. my life is hard and stressful and extremely tiring but i wouldnt ever harm my children or even think of it! while i understand some women may not feel that way and may feel caught in a corner or whatever it still leaves no excuse to kill someone YOU chose to bring into this world. its un believable. ive been stressed to the limit before believe me but to do that to someone so innocent and helpless when all they do is depend on you and love you is so sad and she is a sorry excuse for a person. humans are made to be pushed and we can handle whatever we "want" to handle. she was looking for an easy way out.
The only way you can blame society is by blaming it on the fact that it is no longer unacceptable to have children outside of marriage and that it is okay for all of our young girls to get pregnant by all of these low life bums who were are no longer taught to stand up and do the right thing when he makes a girl pregnant. But as far as help is concerned, people like her w/no job, no husband, mulitple babies get more help than the rest of us. I'm tired of hearing about how some people qualify for so much help when most people who are struggle can't qualify. People today are walking away from their homes, collecting umemployment for sometimes up to a year or more, getting food stamps, free lunches in school, free health care and those of us who continue to bust our butts but make "too much" don't get anything. So, NO don't blame me that this women couldn't handle the life she made for herself!
Society didn't choose for her to have unprotected sex. Society didn't choose her not to get married or not to have a support system to help her with the kids. Society didn't choose for her to keep the kids. And lastly, society didn't choose for her to kill her kids.
SHe made those chooses.
This post was very well written, and it also contains many useful facts. I enjoyed your distinguished way of writing the post. You have made it very easy for me to understand. just stepped out of a Terminator movie, with a Bluetooth cellphone headset clipped to the ear, and talking into thin air, pretending it is the most natural thing in the world, not to mention ultrachic; perhaps they donât realize that they look like those early adopter cell phone enthusiasts from all those years ago.
Nice info! Good and fun reading. I have a single point to make about tee shirts.

Brandon knows what he's doing. I'd love to see him play more, I mean when he did to improve his 3 pt shooting look what happened. He became a decent 3 pt threat compared to his rookie season where you can almost leave the guy open. I really hope he improves his midrange jumper even more and add some more post moves. His penetration moves are top 3 in the league among 2 guards.

Students from at least six Chicago public high schools held a walkout in protest Wednesday.
They walked out of classes late Wednesday morning and gathered at the Thompson Center to protest proposed budget cuts in education.
The movement was initiated by students at Whitney Young Magnet High School.
Students are angry that their teachers are being laid off, classes are being canceled for the next school year and that class sizes may drastically increase.
They're demanding that the state legislature, the federal government and any other responsible party take action immediately to provide sufficient funding to avoid these cuts.

Definition of assonance in English:
assonanceLine breaks: as¦son|ance
Pronunciation: /ˈas(ə)nəns /
noun[mass noun]
Resemblance of sound between syllables of nearby words, arising particularly from the rhyming of two or more stressed vowels, but not consonants (e.g. sonnet, porridge), but also from the use of identical consonants with different vowels (e.g. killed, cold, culled): the use of assonance throughout the poem creates the sound of despair [count noun]: alliterative assonances such as 'fail' and 'fall' are very common in Old English poetry
More example sentences
- Just look at (and, preferably, listen to) his use of assonance - repeated vowel sounds throughout a section.
- First, it has the qualities of rhythm, alliteration, and assonance verging on rhyme that we might expect of a memorable turn of phrase.
- In all of these cases, the deft repetitions and modulations of consonants and vowels with their subtle assonance and consonance compete for attention with the lines' actual content.
- More example sentences
- By definition, it is a poem with an unlimited number of octosyllabic verses and assonant rhyme in even-numbered verses.
- The beauty of this one is that its a little rhyming verse or at least nicely assonant.
- More example sentences
- 'What I expected' is an adroit compromise between the impulses to form and to freedom: 'twist' fails to rhyme convincingly with 'pass,' but in that failure assonates and alliterates with 'questions.'
- The amhrán or song metres have a richly assonated stanzaic form, and are also accentual.
Pronunciation: /-neɪt/verb

For those who still think the Cruz strategy was a winner. Look, this is not an attempt to bash Ted Cruz. But those of us who felt the worst thing that could happen to Obamacare was for Americans to experience have been vindicated. Now, however, Republicans must follow through with a free market alternative.
Remember, it was just September when it looked like Democrats would ride a wave to victory in 2014. This can turn on a dime. Republicans need to seize the moment and develop a plan of their own.

Car-related deaths cost $41 billion a year
The highest medical and work loss costs were in California, with $4.16 billion. The lowest were in Vermont.
This post comes from Jeanine Skowronski at partner site MainStreet.
Auto-related deaths in the U. S. cost an estimated $41 billion in medical and lost productivity expenses a year, according to estimates released last week by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the CDC, more than 30,000 people in the U.S. are killed in car crashes each year, but the costs associated with these deaths vary widely from state to state.
The highest medical and work loss costs were in California ($4.16 billion), followed by Texas ($3.50 billion), Florida ($3.16 billion), Georgia ($1.55 billion), Pennsylvania ($1.52 billion), North Carolina ($1.50 billion), New York ($1.33 billion), Illinois ($1.32 billion), Ohio ($1.23 billion) and Tennessee ($1.15 billion).
Conversely, Vermont ($73 million), Alaska ($74 million), Rhode Island ($79 million), Delaware ($107 million) and North Dakota ($111 million) had the lowest medical and work loss costs due to car accidents.
The estimates are based on 2005 data, the most recent year for which data on auto-related deaths and their costs were available. Find out how costly crashes are in your state by visiting the CDC's website.
The CDC said its analysis was not intended to address the wide variation in state costs, so it did not attempt to explain them. (However, we'd venture to guess that explanation might be similar to the reasons why insurance rates tend to differ state by state.)
Instead, the CDC's report put a number on the toll that car crash-related deaths take on America's families, their wallets and even the loved one's employer.
"Deaths from motor vehicle crashes are preventable," said CDC director Thomas R. Frieden in a written statement. "Seat belts, graduated driver's license programs, child safety seats and helmet use save lives and reduce health care costs."
The CDC also said the costs related to auto deaths among children and teenagers from birth to 19 years of age was nearly $856 million. The highest percentage of costs related to children and teen crash deaths was in Vermont (34%, $25 million), while the lowest was in Nevada (17%, $66 million).
"Despite the higher percentage in Vermont, its cost is lower due to the much lower total cost of injury," the CDC said.
The updated fact sheet's release coincides with a larger initiative called Decade of Action for Road Safety. It's being sponsored by the CDC and the United Nations General Assembly.
For more information on motor vehicle safety, visit the CDC's website.

Yubico news and comments on strong two-factor authentication and secure online identity
YubiKey NEO and OpenPGP
December 18, 2012 | Yubico Team | 15 Comments
In this post, we will take you through the steps to enable the YubiKey NEO's OpenPGP applet on a production YubiKey NEO. YubiKey NEOs are currently shipped with an OpenPGP applet already installed but disabled. You will need to enable the Applet functionality of the YubiKey NEO before you can use the OpenPGP applet.
To do this, you will need to use the command line interface (CLI) version of the YubiKey Personalization Tool. If you are not familiar with using command line tools, this applet is probably not for you. To download ykpersonalize please click here.
Once you have installed the ykpersonalize software, insert your YubiKey NEO and you can check the version with the ykinfo -v command – which shows version: 3.0.1 for our YubiKey NEO. To enable your YubiKey NEO's Smartcard interface (CCID), enter the command ykpersonalize -m82 as:
The -m option is the mode command. To see the different modes, enter ykpersonalize –help. Mode 82 (in hex) enables the YubiKey NEO as a composite USB device (HID + CCID) and allows OTPs to be emitted while in use as a smart card. Once you have changed the mode, you need to re-boot the YubiKey – so remove and re-insert it.
Now our NEO App: OpenPGP is visible we can use the gpg program to set-up a new smart card: gpg –card-edit and then enter the admin command to enable admin commands. The command to create a new set of public/private key pairs is generate. You should see something like:
Note the default PINs as you will need to enter them into the pop ups – e.g.:
Once you enter the Admin and User PINs, gpg will ask you for various settings. Once you select Okay the YubiKey NEO will work for between 1 minute and 3 minutes to generate 3 key pairs. It took our YubiKey NEO 1 minute 40 seconds.
WARNING: You cannot backup the secret keys – so if you lose the YubiKey NEO, re-generate another key pair or other lose the key pair there is no way to retrieve it! When you encrypt a file, make sure you have a plain text backup.
It is recommended to backup the Public key – we often use the Export Certificates to Server function in Kleopatra to do this. This is our screen:
The public keys and private key stubs are automatically loaded into the gpg database; we are running Kleopatra – so before completing, Kleopatra showed my soft keys:
And afterwards Kleopatra shows the YubiKey NEO with the SmartCard icon:
With details:
We can now select my YubiKey NEO to sign and encrypt files e.g.:
The source code for the YubiKey NEO OpenPGP app is available here.

'Lose' is spelled with one 'o', not 'loose'.
Thanks Bob!
This looks great!
Two questions:
1) Is this compatible with a PKCS#11 library?
2) How many certificates/key pairs can be stored on the device?
Really looking forward to see what Yubico can do with the smartcard side of authentication!
In regards to the PKCS#11 library…
Would something like Scute do the trick?
This really looks interesting!
I would also like to know if there is a PKCS11 interface available?
Also is it possible to import keys that have been generated outside the NEO (I know this is not as secure as having the keys generated by the onboard chip but it would be useful for older keys that I still need).
OpenSC provides a multi platform PKCS11 library, and does support an openPGP Applet, (the older jopenpgpcard project applet). More information here: https://www.opensc-project.org/opensc/wiki/OpenPGP
I was determined to get my yubikey neo gpg smartcard working for ssh authentication on my Ubuntu 12.04 machine. I struggled a little bit because of Unity and the gnome-keyring but I managed to get a working solution and I thought I'd share. This guide assumes that you have a functioning yubikey neo gpg smartcard with an authentication key on it and that you know how to configure an ssh server for public key authentication.
1 – Disable the gnome-keyring gpg and ssh agents (thanks – https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-keyring/+bug/884856). Actually, we need to disable all of the keyring components. I found that just disabling the ssh and gpg components was not enough and the gnome keyring was still not playing nice with the full gpg-agent.
Allow the relevant components to be viewable in "Startup Applications" so you can easily turn them on/off:
and change "NoDisplay" to false in all of them. Running the following one-liner will take care of the edits:
sudo sed -i "s/NoDisplay=true/NoDisplay=false/g" /etc/xdg/autostart/gnome-keyring-*
Run Startup Applications and disable them all. Note that this may break your gnome-keyring for other applications.
2 – Create a udev rule to change the owner of the yubikey so we don't have to sudo to use it:
Place the following two lines:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1050″, ATTR{idProduct}=="0111″, OWNER="YOUR_ID_HERE"
ACTION=="remove", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}="1050″, ENV{SUBSYSTEM}=="usb", RUN+="/usr/bin/pkill scdaemon"
…in something like /etc/udev/rules.d/yubikey.rules
Note that we change the owner when the yubikey is plugged in and we kill the scdaemon process upon removal as this gets around the bug where we can't talk to the card again ( https://bugs.g10code.com/gnupg/issue1238 )
3 – Ensure the proper gpg-agent is installed.
sudo apt-get install gnupg-agent
4 – Modify the gpg-agent start up command run by X:
sudo nano /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90gpg-agent
…to include –enable-ssh-support and make a note of (or modify) where the environment variable values are saved to with the –write-env-file option.
5 – Disable the proper ssh-agent in /etc/X11/Xsession.options by commenting out the ssh line. In our case, gpg-agent will now act as ssh-agent from our modifications in step 4.
6 – Add the following to your .profile:
if [ -f "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info" ]; then
. "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info"
export GPG_AGENT_INFO
export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
export SSH_AGENT_PID
…and the following to .bashrc:
export GPG_TTY
…Make sure the file you source in .profile has the same name as the file in the –write-env-file parameter in step 4.
7 – Generate your public ssh key from your smartcard authentication key and place the key in the authorized_keys file of the server you wish to connect to:
gpgkey2ssh YOURKEYID > ~/ssh_rsa.pub
That's it. You should now be prompted by the pinentry program (make sure your yubikey is inserted) after ssh'ing to the server. The pinentry program is installed by default when you install the gpg-agent.
I've put together a complete HOWTO for OS X, using only GnuPG and the Yubico command-line utilities, including simple OpenSSH integration:
The instructions should carry over to Linux and other *BSDs, except that pin entry might be different. It also details how to import/export the public key for multi-machine usage, which is a caveat with GnuPG that is not often discussed.

A few readers recently noticed that some of the comments posted to our story about VA's IT troubles had disappeared, giving rise to some suspicions. "Why are all of late May's and all of June's comments missing or were they removed because of the pressure the VA gave them?" asked one. "Oooops, did FCW go all VA and lose some data? Where did the most recent comments disappear to? Heat rising in the kitchen guys?" asked another.
Online Managing Editor Michael Hardy responds: The truth is much less interesting than the theories. 1105 Media's development team upgraded our content management system over the weekend, and in the process there were a number of hiccups that we've been unraveling. For one thing, many comments vanished – not just on this story. Blogger/columnist Steve Kelman emailed me to inquire why comments on his recent blog posts had disappeared, and we saw the same thing happen on other stories.
This is a normal part of any major system upgrade, and as it has progressed, the comments appear to have been restored. To address a larger issue, though: FCW does not bow to pressure from the agencies and individuals we cover. While we will always correct factual errors, we don't remove stories, comments or anything else just because someone is unhappy with an accurate portrayal.

We don't need a lecture on losing data, we know all about it. In fact some say we're the experts when it comes to that. Just know this, don't the the big boss the actual truth, it's not what he want sto hear, so don't tell him - it's just not the way it's done.
FCW is great, Mike Hardy, why don't you call congress and ask them what their opinion is on this article? Call Jeff Miller of Florida at 202-225-4136 or 750-479-1183. If you don't call then we know your part of the problem and not the solution of this poor behavior.

I worked on preparing the food while she tended to the decorations. Lady Bug set the table with her new set and even got out some decorative items from our craft box. She drizzled sparkle confetti on the table and made cute little place setting cards for each of her guests.
Instead of tea we had some deliciously warm hot cocoa. In addition to the hot cocoa we had blueberry muffins, fresh fruit salad, creamy yogurt, and a little bit or orange juice. It was soo much fun watching her place food on the plates for her guests.
Everything tasted great and we indulged ourselves at the table chit chatting away for a good hour or more. It was a really fun and exciting way to have our breakfast together. I'm sure we'll remember this morning for a long time to come. It's all about making the every day normal moments in our lives special. We could have eaten breakfast in front of the television, instead we chose to make a wonderful memory.

Immediately following is the area of VIP box seats, located in the center of the amphitheater. The final reserved seating area features sections 4-9. Certain performers may choose to remove the first rows of sections 1-3 in order to provide a general admission pit area. The final section of seating is the general admission lawn area. The Isleta Amphitheater does not have a roof, so all sections are uncovered.

Common Sense Farm - Baby Powder - 2.6 Oz. (75g)
Common Sense Farm Baby Powder, Unlike most commercial powders that rely on talc (a questionable ingredient) Common Sense Farm Baby Power contains corn starch, oat flour and French white clay to absorb moisture and soften skin. A special herb – powdered slippery elm – is also added to Common Sense Farm Baby Powder because of its traditional use as an anti-irritant.
Common Sense Farm IngredientsThere's been an increased awareness regarding the importance of what we eat (what goes in us). Much less has been stressed about the importance of what does on us and into us through our skin. It's equally important - if not more important - to be concerned about what goes into us through our skin. The human body's digestive system is equipped to deal with certain degrees of toxins and impurities. There isn't the same defense system for impurities that enter through the skin. As a result, Common Sense Farm takes serious which ingredients they select for use in their products. You won't find any synthetic preservatives, fragrances or colors in any Common Sense Farm products. This isn't a claim that very many manufacturers can make.
Common Sense Farm's goal is to use what is safe and wholesome. In addition, Common Sense is always looking for new and better ingredients. However, most raw materials used for these types of products require some degree of processing. Some of that processing is as simple as filtering. Other processes are not quite as simple. Until Common Sense Farm knows of safer and better raw materials that require less and simpler processing, they will use what they know to be best. They are just trying to use common sense. If someone wants to make common their understanding of a better method or way that is practical and free of the marketing falsehood that riddles so many of the claims from the natural skincare industry, Common Sense Farm will always welcome that input.

a new information architecture
The battle rages on. It's Ackman v. Herbalife (HLF), with many others in the mix, choosing sides and fighting the promotional battle.
This is a great example of the changed nature of the markets, with new strategies regarding the communication of investment ideas going hand in hand with a playing field that looks much different than it has in the past.
For an update, see articles today from Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal. An additional player is John Hempton (see his recent posting and a CNBC appearance); I wrote about his due diligence chops in a recent essay.
This is really Herbalife questioning 2.0. In May, I looked at the way the market responds to questions depending on who is asking them — in that instance, it was Einhorn, not Ackman, questioning Herbalife.
It used to be that a new recommendation from a big broker mattered a lot. It still matters, but only a little. A hedge fund titan can move things in a hurry and by quite a bit (Tepper has shown he can even move the market with his well-timed appearances), but today's world also has many instances where a single blogger can have an impact too.
This is all part of a new information architecture for the markets.

No Cherry Pitter? Use a Chopstick
A cherry pitter is a wonderful thing, but what do you use if you don't have one? Recently we were cooking at a friend's home and without a pitter or a pastry tip in sight, we turned to another versatile tool: the chopstick!
To pit cherries with a chopstick, just place the chopstick on the stem-end of the cherry, push it through, and voilà – out pops the pit.
Occasionally you might have to root around for the pit, and the process is messier and more time-consuming than using a pitter. However, as long as you don't have too many cherries to process, it's actually kind of fun.
How do you pit cherries?

McGuyver would be proud!!!
I've tried the chopstick to no success. :( I did recently get one of those plastic cups for iced coffee and it has a very sturdy plastic straw that works quite well for it. It cradles the pit enough so that the pit doesn't slide/move around in the cherry.
I always use straws, but they do need to be fairly sturdy or they quickly start to become useless.
I just bought a cherry pitter that does six cherries at once. It was the best $12 I've spent in a long time.
@natalie: brand???
I've tried using a fondue fork before, and that actually works pretty well.
I like the texture better when they've been cut in half, so I do that and take the pits out with my thumb.
Martha Stewart said one of her staffers used a paper clip - http://www.marthastewart.com/273333/pitting-cherries
I thought that very clever
I always use a bobby pin. The big ones work best and of course wash it really well first. Stick the curved end into the top of the cherry where the stem was and scoop out the pit. It always pops out easily. I've actually pitted a ton of cherries this way for jam and didn't think it was much harder or messier than using a pitter and no need for a uni-tasker!
We have a cherry tree. If I had used a chopstick, I would have processed our cherries!
This is my cherry pitter:
oops! I would NOT have managed to process our cherries (and would have had stained fingers for week!).
Awesome pitter!
This is why I never buy cherries or even think to use them for anything other than eating out of a bowl. I had some that were starting to turn so I did what caseoftornados has done but I wouldn't want to do that for a whole lot of them! All of these methods sound really interesting. I'll have to try them!
I just tried this for the first time. The "business end" of the chopstick was not so hot -- lots of stabbed fingers. But the square end of the chopstick (where they were attached in the package) was blunt enough that it didn't slip off and stab me, and just pushed the pit right through.
i got one of these on sale at bed, bath & beyond. it was an impulse purchase, but i'm glad i did it. works really well (put a paper towel or cloth under the catch bowl as cherry juice tends to get on the table) and it's hella fast. i buy cherries, bring them home, pit them, and put them in the fridge. people are always impressed when they drop by & i've got fresh pitted cherries to offer as snacks.
The chopstick works better if you use it with an empty beer bottle. Place the cherry on top of the neck of the bottle, then punch through with the chopstick. The best part is that you can just throw the bottle away when you're done.
Food52 taught me that if you place the cherry over a beer bottle (or other small neck bottle) and then poke the chopstick through, it makes fairly quick and tidy work of pitting!

Renewable energy is a big priority for the Department of the Navy. The ultimate renewable energy source for a ship at sea is of course seawater. Now the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is making big steps toward using seawater for fuel. Dr. Heather Willauer, research chemist at the Naval Research Laboratory, tells In Depth with Francis Rose what they've found on the path to making seawater fuel the Navy's fleet.

So Many Rooms So Little Time - SEPT 93 Reviews
Gerard and Monice make the house their own. Bob talks to them about Kara.
Kara hadn't said a word since breakfast. She was distinctly irritated at the prospect of returning to school. She was really sorry that she had promised Bob that she'd finish out the term. This was going to be a miserable two months. She wasn't looking forward to seeing her so-called friends or facing the teachers whose midterms she'd missed. She wasn't a great student as it was, now she'd have to hustle t make sure she graduated. All she knew is that there was no way in hell she would ever step foot in that school after June.
Bob pulled up in front of the school, parking the car and getting out to open the door for Kara. She looked so dejected. He gave her a quick kiss and hug and told her he'd see her right after school. Kara sighed and turned to walk into the building. She took a few steps before turning back and giving Bob a weak smile. Then she squared her shoulders and walked with purpose into the school.
Kelly, who was watching her muttered, "Drama queen". Bob frowned at her. She made a face at him then her eyes lit up and she suddenly grabbed Bob and kissed his cheek.
"Bye big Brother. See you this afternoon." Kelly said loudly before turning and strutting towards the front door, barely pausing to say "Hi" to Sarah, one of Kara's former friends.
"Stupid fucking rain." Gerard said again as he stood at the kitchen window staring out into the backyard. "It wasn't supposed to rain. I checked the weather forecast. Clear and mild. That's what we're supposed to be having, not fucking rain."
Monica walked up behind him and put her arms around his waist. She hugged him tightly. "Well someone didn't get that memo."
"I'm not gonna get the gazebo done before we leave." He muttered. "I wanted to get it done."
"Honey, you can work on it when you get back."
"Shit, instead of having two weeks off when we get back its less than one now. I wish they hadn't added the dates at the end of the Canadian tour." He sighed, "We'll just get back and then have to turn around and leave for Europe."
Monica tried to change the subject. "Did Bob say what he was gonna do after he dropped off the girls at school?"
"Not really. I think he said something about getting his stuff from Mikey's. They were taking off when I got down here."
Monica turned him around so that he would stop glaring at the rain. "So tonight is out first official get-together in out new home. I talked to Donna and she and Don are both coming."
He nodded, "That's good. Mikey told me Frank said that he and Jamia are gonna be here. I guess the doctor was so please with things that they said Jamia can get out of the apartment occasionally."
Monica smiled, "I bet she's thrilled. She was getting awfully tired of the apartment when I stayed with her."
She noticed that Gerard was frowning slightly. "What?"
He shook his head, "Nothing really. I was just thinking it would have been nice if Elle could be here too."
Monica was pleasantly surprised by his words. "Yeah, I wish she could be here too. I miss her."
He lowered his chin so that it rested on Monica's head. "That whole situation is so fucked up. I just wish Liv would stop fucking with me. Why even tell me I have a daughter if I can't get to know her?"
"Gee, it will be okay. I'll talk to Liv."
He sighed. "I hate that you have to deal with her at all."
"But I do. For some reason she'll talk to me."
He laughed bitterly, "Yeah, when she wants something. When she needs a babysitter."
"Look, I told her I would take care of Elle anytime and I meant it. I love that little girl." She pulled back so that she could kiss him softly. "She's a part of you."
Gerard reached up and cupped her face with his hands. "I love you so fucking much." His lips met hers with passion.
Monica broke away from him and took a step back. "Gee, I just had a thought."
"Well it's raining outside so you can't work on the gazebo. I don't have anything I have to do right at the moment." She smiled.
Gerard smiled back "And?"
"Wonder what we could do? We're all alone in our new home."
He laughed as he reached over and pulled her back into his arms. "Let's see. We could watch T.V."
"Don't feel like it."
He stroked her back, "We could read."
"Don't feel like it," She answered again.
"We could go upstairs and make love." His voice was deep and smooth.
"Don't feel like it"
He frowned as he looked into her eyes. "Don't feel like it?"
Monica smiled seductively. "Don't feel like going all the way upstairs."
His puzzled look made her laugh. She lowered her arm and moved slightly so that she could gently caress him. "What's wrong with right here?"
Gerard looked around the kitchen. "In the kitchen?"
Monica was lowering his zipper. Her lips nibbled on his ear.
Gerard hit on a wonderful ideal. "Kitchen, Dining Room, Family Room, Hall……" He had more rooms to mention but when her hands began to push his jeans down he stopped momentarily before adding. "Fuck, I'm glad this is a big house with lots of rooms" They both dropped to the floor.
Gerard and Monica had just moved from the dining room into the living room. "Shit, woman you wear me out." he said brushing his damp hair off his forehead.
Monica giggled, "Hey, whose idea was this? I just didn't want to walk all the way upstairs when we were in the kitchen. You totally came up with the idea of christening every room."
He grabbed her and pulled her naked body to his then they moved as one to the sofa, "So are you telling me this isn't a good idea?" His fingers gently cupped her behind. She smiled feeling how ready he was again.
"You are gonna wear me out." She purred while rubbing her body against his.
He laughed, "Just so you know tonight when everyone's here and we're having dinner I'm gonna somehow remind you of what we just did in the dining room just so I can see you blush."
Monica leaned over and bit his neck lightly. "Oh are you?"
"Fuck, yeah." He pushed her down on the sofa and kneeled in front of her. "So now for the living room" He gently spread her legs apart....." The knocking on the front door startled both of them.
"Shit, let's just ignore it" he hissed.
Monica sat up. "Look through the peep hole and see who it is."
"Fuck, do I have to?" he whined sitting back.
Monica nodded so he got up and walked to the door slowly hoping whomever it was would we gone by the time he got there.
"Fuck, it's Bob" he whispered.
Monica was off the sofa like a shot. She headed towards the kitchen to retrieve her clothes. Gerard followed her at a slower pace. "Crap, I thought he wasn't coming back. Didn't he say he was going over to Mikey's to get his stuff?"
Gerard grumbled, "He's kinda making a habit of not doing what he says."
Monica finished pulling on her hoddie and ran her hand through her hair, "I'll go let him in." She looked at Gerard "Zip you pants"
He frowned, "What? I'm not allowed to have sex in my own house?"
Monica glared at him before heading to the door. Bob was sitting on the top step.
"Bob, sorry we were in the basement and didn't hear you at first."
Bob stood up "That's okay. I know I'm not supposed to be here. Sorry if I interrupted anything."
Gerard who was now standing behind Monica made a humph sound. As Bob walked into the house Gerard once again got an elbow to the ribs.
"We got to get you and Kara keys," Monica said as they all walked into the living room. Monica couldn't help but notice the look of longing Gerard gave the sofa.
"I kinda want to talk to you both about that." Bob said sitting down on the loveseat.
Monica and Gerard both sat on the sofa across from him.
"I...uh...have a huge favor to ask you."
Gerard muttered, "It figures." under his breath.
Bob continued, "Kara and I were going to rent an apartment but I was thinking since we're going to be gone so much that maybe you could let her stay here during school. I know she'd appreciate the company and she and Kelly could still go to school together. And I understand if you don't want me to stay here with her, so we'll stay at a hotel until we leave."
Bob looked at Monica and Gerard expectantly, but both seemed to be waiting for the other to speak.
"Look, I know you said not to dump my wife while I'm gone but I don't think you should take it out on Kara if you're mad at me."
Monica turned to Gerard a look of shock on her face, "You said what?" she demanded.
He shifted away from her afraid he was about to catch it in the ribs again, "That's not exactly what I said" he hedged.
"No, his actual words were 'park her at my mother-in-laws house'" Bob said looking directly at Gerard.
Monica's look of shock now became a death stare, "Gerard Arthur Way, you really said that? How could you?"
"Look I was mad. I didn't really mean it," he said thinking honesty was the best policy. "Besides, he said he wouldn't live in this house."
"Well then, tell Bob right now you didn't mean it. Of course my daughter is going to stay here. Why the hell would she stay in an apartment by herself?"
"Our daughter." Gerard corrected her without thinking.
Monica took a deep breath while trying to calm down.
"Oh shit, you're not counting are you?" Gerard asked. He knew he was really in trouble when she was mad enough she had to count to ten before speaking.
Monica's eyes narrowed, "No, actually I just counting the rooms in this house and thinking how many won't be getting done."
Fuck, he understood what she was saying even if Bob didn't. He had to fix this now. "Look Bob, I'm sorry about what I said. Of course Kara will stay here. Shit, we just got her room done."
He didn't see Bob cringe but Monica did and smiled.
"Thanks, I just wanted to get that settled. I didn't like the thought of her being alone while I'm gone." He signed, "Well I'm off to book a hotel."
"Why?" Monica asked
"Well so Kara and I have a place to stay for the next few nights."
Gerard sighed, 'Dude, I thought we got this settled last night? You both are staying here." He noticed that Bob was shaking his head, "I mean it, I really want you guys here. Just don't ever fucking call me Dad again."

50 women to watch in Baltimore [Pictures]

• VIDEO: Behind the scenes at 50 women to watch fashion shoot
Marin Alsop( Algerina Perna, Baltimore Sun photo / February 28, 2012 )
56, Music director, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra
Marin Alsop's nearly 25-year conducting career has frequently been accompanied by the sound of breaking glass -- as in ceilings. She has made inroads in the male-dominated field, notably when she started her Baltimore tenure in 2007, the first female music director of a major U.S. orchestra. She has won plaudits for expanded programming and innovative projects. Sidelined for a month this summer after injuring her wrist, Alsop will be back to smashing glass ceilings Sept. 7, when she becomes the first woman to conduct the popular "Last Night of the Proms" at London's Royal Albert Hall. Alsop said she's "an honorary Brit at heart."

"The Clarinet, also called 'Death by long black stick', is a woodwind torture device used in the band. The clarinet relies on small, thin pieces of wood called 'reeds', which break more often than they actually play. Recently, the clarinet has also been used by the U.S. military as a lethal dual-purpose weapon. Some jeopardy contestants may also refer to the clarinet as a "large brass instrument" or "tuba". It is known by some (and denied by many) that the clarinet is one of the manliest of all musical instruments, even though Asian males are usually the most talented players. But all clarinet players rock and are badasses. Especially girl clarinet players: they are the life of any band."

Village Square, October 2012
Submitted by John Starcher, President Pro Tem, Village Council
It's hard to believe the Presidential Election is just around the corner. And it can't get here soon enough.
It seems like this election season is just about the worst ever. I can't remember an election so divisive as this one. Lifelong friends are becoming enemies; "unfriending" each other on Facebook because of differences in political opinions; refusing to speak to each other on the street, and even more bizarre actions – it's crazy. Not to wish my life away, but November 7th cannot get here quickly enough.
In the midst of all this vitriol, I was very blessed this past week to witness a contrasting set of behaviors. I was privileged to watch our community come together in support of our own Jackie Bird as she mourned the loss of her brother Tom.
Tom's memorial service was beautiful. The church was packed, and Denny Bird delivered a eulogy that resulted in more than a few tears. Also more than a few laughs, in typical Denny Bird fashion. After the service, we all went and stood in the cold rain for the graveside ceremony. The thermometer had topped 80 a mere twenty-four hours prior, so this was a stunning contrast of weather as we huddled together in the bone-chilling rain to offer Tom one final farewell. After the ceremony we gathered in the welcoming comfort of St. Joseph Church basement, and broke bread together as a community. I was warmed – not only by the delicious food, but also by the comfort of being reminded once again what a wonderful area in which we live. It was a bittersweet combination of sadness over the loss of Tom, and appreciation of my community. This town is special, and it is the people here who make it that way - people who always come together in time of need to help and support each other, and it's beautiful.
If you are a resident of the Village, your Village Council works pretty hard to support you as well. In order for us to continue to do our jobs effectively, we need a little help from you, though. When you enter the voting booth next week, you will be asked to approve a replacement 2-mil property tax levy. I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how I was going to "sell" this to you via this article. I have decided to just to give it to you straight, present the facts, let you decide, and hope for your support.
The residents of the Village of Marblehead approved a 2-mil levy sometime in the mid-to-late sixties. It generated around $14,000 per year at the time, and the money went into the general fund to help with everyday expenses. It was not a continuing levy, so it had to be renewed every five years. The Village residents have supported its renewal on a regular basis. Taxes are complicated things, and can be very hard to understand. To put it simply, a tax levy generates a fixed dollar amount of revenue each year, based on the tax valuation of the area at the time of passage of the tax. When property values escalate, each individual's contribution to the overall levy amount can actually get smaller.
In 2003, your Village Council asked for your approval of a replacement levy. The Village's finances were in pretty rough shape at the time. The new levy was still 2-mils, but replacement would yield around $120,000 annually, based on the tax valuations of property in the Village at the time. Thankfully the levy was approved by the voters, and the Village saw an immediate improvement of its financial health. In 2008 we asked you to renew the levy, and you were kind enough to do so. The levy continued generating around $120,000 each year because the revenues were still based on the 2003 tax valuation.
This year, we are asking to once again replace the levy. If you agree to do so, the levy will generate a little over $200,000 each year. "Why do you need more money?" you may ask. It's simple. Things keep getting more expensive. The Village faces the same challenges that all businesses do: rising insurance premiums, higher utility costs, fuel prices, labor costs, and even office supplies keep getting more expensive every year. Because we are a government entity, we are required by law to have a balanced budget. (Insert joke of choice about the federal deficit here, please. The Fed plays by a completely different set of rules)
Along with rising costs, we are staring down some potential losses in other areas of income. Local Government Funds – money we get from the State of Ohio – are, and have been on the chopping block for the past several years at the state level. To date we have not seen a major decrease, but the threat hangs constantly and ominously over our heads each year like the sword of Damocles. Submerged land lease revenues may substantially decrease, or disappear altogether as the courts sort out the waterfront property ownership issue. Those two items alone have accounted for $40,000 to $50,000 of our annual monies received each year for the past five years. This year, together, they have generated just $26,000 so far – a good example of what an unpredictable source of money they can be.
We have tried our best to be good stewards of your money, and I think overall we've done a pretty good job. Drive through our town and you'll see plenty of evidence of the work we've done with it – the improvements at Radar Park (the rear portion of the building will house all Village records by the end of next year) James Park looks as good or better than ever; the ambitious road paving projects undertaken in the past five years; the new fence at the Village cemetery; snow plows; a new backhoe; late model police cruisers, and even the maintenance and upkeep of our buildings.
We have also worked very hard to bring our salary levels up to par with similar job positions in our surrounding areas. I'll be honest – our wages were a joke for a very long time. I'm actually amazed sometimes at the high level of quality of many of the employees we maintained over the years. I was also never shocked to see a good employee leave for a similar job elsewhere that paid much better. We have slowly been upgrading pay scales over the past several years to become more competitive, and I think it shows in our current employee retention rates. We're not quite there yet, but we are certainly on the right path.
We have quite a few projects on our wish list, and one of the biggest is to finally repair Alexander Pike. We're still waiting on a long-range plan decision for a potential water line installation on this road, but we are anxious to finally make this much-needed improvement.
Your approval of the replacement levy will help us to get where we want to be, and where we need to be financially. It will help us to maintain what we feel is an excellent level of service to our community. As the chairman of the village finance committee, I welcome your questions. As the President Pro-Tem of Council, I encourage your support of this levy. And here's the best part: if the tax valuation of your property hasn't changed, then the amount you contribute towards this levy won't change. Replacing the levy simply allows us to have the benefit of all the new or improved properties in the Village paying their fair share. Please help us to continue serving you by supporting the levy.

2013 Thomas Goss Shiraz
"Bright purple. Deep, smoke-tinged aromas of dark berries, licorice and dried flowers. Chewy cassis and bitter cherry flavors are sharpened by juicy acidity and gain sweetness with air, picking up a brighter red fruit character. Finishes on a gently sweet note, with very good spicy persistence and supple tannins. This lineup of wines was made by peripatetic old-timer Ben Riggs."

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. So though we grow old, we will always remain young at heart, which echoes the themes of Peter Pan.
I'm glad you mentioned Peter Pan, as it provides a wonderful segue into our explanation of Marooners' Rock. Like the themes of Peter Pan, we will, as we grow ancient, retain our love and passion for the things we held dear in our long lost youth. However, there is more to the concept than simply enjoying what we have always enjoyed and that is excitement in the face of new experiences! This is where our long and winding story finally comes to its point: Marooners' Rock. Peter Pan's first genuine thrill came on Marooners' Rock, where he thought he was going to die. His famous line at this point was, "To die will be an awfully big adventure!" We're taking that and giving it our own spin: "To geek out will be an awfully big adventure!"
This is the core concept of Marooners' Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. The thrill of enjoying the things we have always enjoyed and the exhilaration of finding new things to enjoy will stay with us, and hopefully with you. Societal and cultural norms be damned!
Look, we know you're not going to come to us to keep up with your daily news fix. There are other places that can cover the minutia of video game news far better than we can. You're going to come to us to get the best damn opinions, reviews, and original pieces on the Internet (Editor's note: This statement cannot be statistically supported with things like "facts" or "objective truth"). We love each and every one of our readers (not in a romantic way, but more in a drunk "Dude…I love you, dude!" sort of way) and vow never to sell-out to the man (unless we're given ridiculously obscene amounts of cash to do so, because I don't know about you, but I'd love a wall of TVs – also, I have student loans, man). You will get our honest opinions, without spin, bias, or pressure from anyone or anything.
We're just a group of people, standing (metaphorically) in front of another group of people, asking them to love us.

Mystery Fruits Can Enhance and Entertain
Why eat the same old bananas and grapes when there are lots of other, exotic fruits to choose from?
By Jean Lawrence
Reviewed By Cynthia Haines, MD
You know that shelf of fruits and veggies that usually hangs above the lettuce rack in the supermarket -- and contains gnarly, hairy, or Day-Glo colored pods of all shapes and sizes? Don't pass those by and grab that same old apple. Boring!
"Variety in your diet is a great idea," Paula C. Bickford, PhD, professor at the Center for Aging and Brain Repair at the University of South Florida College of Medicine and the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa, tells WebMD. "People get worried, though, because of the high-carb thing. Fruit does have some carbs, but the carbs are of a type that doesn't add weight, unlike the man-made, ultra-sweet high fructose corn syrup that is found in so many prepared foods."
Apparently, many Americans are not being scared away from fruit. In 2002, the average American downed 100 pounds of the stuff. A small percentage of that was of the exotic tropical persuasion.
The more we learn about fruit, Bickford says, the more benefits we find. "Blueberries not only act as antioxidants, but they can lower cholesterol," she says. "That's the nice thing about foods vs. pill-form vitamins. They are beneficial in more than one way."
Blueberries? Even those little nutritional powerhouses are mundane compared with the top fruit rack in the market.
So I skipped the market and dropped $13 in an upscale yuppie food store.
Horned Melon
The horned melon, or kiwano melon as it's sometimes called, is about five inches long, screaming yellow-orange, with spiked or horns all over it. "Don't let your kids play with it," Robert Schueller, director of public relations for Melissa's World Variety Produce in Los Angeles, jokes. Melissa's is the largest provider of specialty produce in the country.
I can attest that this thing can hurt you! Horned melons are in the cucumber, not the melon, family. When you get your gloves on and slash it open, it is filled with translucent green pulp packed with cucumber-like seeds. You can put it in a fruit salad, seeds and all, or just dip it out of the rind watermelon style. One dip is all it took for me. The best way to describe it is the taste of green-ness with maybe a touch of cucumber and banana, with pretty firm little seeds in it. The melon looks incredible, cool and weird, and will keep on the counter for up to two months, Schueller says.
Horned melons are low in calories (about 25) and only have 3 grams of carbs.
Pepino Melon
"This is not like a honeydew or cantaloupe," Schueller warns. Pepino, in fact, means cucumber in Spanish, he says. The fruit -- also called mellow fruit -- comes from South America and is very popular in the Latin community, where cooks squeeze lime juice and hot sauce on it.
My pepino was a pearly oval with purple streaks. I cut it open and it had a pear-like interior, bland and a little grainy. My daughter said it tasted like a lettuce-flavored pear. It's suck-in-over-the-sink juicy, like the ripest of pears or peaches.
It also has fairly low nutritional values, Schueller says, which means to me that it's a perfect addition to something else or a host food for a yummy sauce!
Asian Pear
Speaking of pears, the term Asian pear covers at least 25 types of pears available year-round. They come not only from Asia and Chile, but from our own California. They are crammed with fiber and even some protein.
Asian pears are shaped like apples and crunch when you bite, like an apple. Inside, though, they are sweetish and more like pear than any other flavor, although I found the one I ate to be sort of a generic fruit taste.
Melissa's recommends putting a few leaves of lettuce covered in cream cheese (Neufchatel is lower fat) on a plate, then adding two Asian pears, cubed, sprinkled with chopped salted peanuts.
Ugly Fruit
Ugly fruit also goes by Uniq fruit or the trademarked spelling of Ugli. Think baggy grapefruit or a grapefruit crossed with a shar pei. Technically speaking, this is a tangelo from Jamaica. It comes into season in late October and is available nine months of the year.
The store I went to didn't have an "ugly" section, so I can only report what others say. The rumpled skin makes it easy to peel and section. It is citrusy -- somewhere between a tangerine and a grapefruit. You can put it in sweet or savory dishes. In fact, it also makes a fabulous hot toddy when the juice is mixed with rum and brown sugar (making it a "beautiful" fruit, in my book). It makes a mean marmalade, too.
Ugly fruit is high in fiber and loaded with vitamin C.

On her blog, Port said that she is happy for people to see her in a different light than on the show. Port wrote, "Ready to channel my sexy side. This is a pretty big deal for me because I've never done ANYTHING like this before."

Dr. Walker prescribes Metanx for every patient with diabetes, cautioning that those with loss of protective sensation most often begin to experience pain after three months of treatment, which is a positive response to treatment. After three months of Metanx use, he will prescribe approved medications such as pregabalin (Lyrica, Pfizer), duloxetine (Cymbalta, Eli Lilly) or gabapentin (Neurontin, Pfizer) to alleviate patients' symptoms.
"I remind them that Metanx is the only prescription that is addressing the pathophysiology of their disease state. The other medications are only for symptoms," says Dr. Walker, who practices in the Podiatry Division at Carolina Musculoskeletal Institute in Aiken, S.C.

Burger King launching lower-calorie french fryBy CANDICE CHOI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | September 25,2013AP PHOTO
This image provided by Burger King shows the new french fry that the company says has 20 percent fewer calories than its regular fries. The Satisfries will cost about 30 cents more than its regular fries.NEW YORK Burger King wants people to feel less guilty about gobbling up its french fries.
The worlds No. 2 hamburger chain launched a new crinkle-cut french fry Tuesday that it says has about 20 percent fewer calories than its regular fries.
The chain says a small order of the new Satisfries clocks in at 270 calories because of a new batter that doesnt absorb as much oil. By comparison, a small order of its regular fries, sans crinkles, has 340 calories.
The concept of taking an indulgent food and removing some of the guilt isnt new, of course. Supermarkets are filled with baked potato chips, 100-calorie packs of popular treats. Such creations play on peoples inability to give up their food vices, even as they struggle to eat better. The idea is to create something that skimps on calories, but not on taste.
Burger King executives say people wont be able to tell that Satisfries are lower in calories. It says they use the same ingredients as its regular fries potatoes, oil and batter. To keep kitchen operations simple, theyre even made in the same fryers and cooked for the same amount of time as regular fries.
The difference is that the proportions of the batters ingredients are adjusted so that it blocks out more oil, Burger King says. The crinkle-cut shape is in part so workers will be able to easily distinguish them from the regular fries when theyre deep frying them together.
You need to make things as simple as possible, says Eric Hirschhorn, Burger Kings chief marketing officer.
Alex Macedo, head of North American operations at Burger King, said the chain worked with one of its potato suppliers, McCain Foods, to develop the lower-calorie fries. He said McCain cant sell the fries to other fast-food clients and that different suppliers might have a tough time imitating them.
Reporters were given a preview of the fries at a New York City hotel last week. Attendees were each served a carton of the fries that look and taste like any other fries, even leaving the familiar grease stains in their paper cartons.
Burger King led off its presentation by comparing the fries to the leading french fries, which are made by McDonalds. On a pound-for-pound basis, executives noted that the new fries have 30 percent fewer calories than those served at the Golden Arches.
The comparison to McDonalds may prove to be confusing for some, since fast-food chains each have their own definitions of what qualifies as a small, medium or large.
A small serving at McDonalds, for example, weighs considerably less than a small order at Burger King. As a result, a small order of McDonalds fries has 230 calories which is still less than the 270 calories for a small serving of Burger Kings Satisfries. A value order of Satisfries at Burger King which is closer in weight to the small size at McDonalds has 190 calories.
When asked if it had any plans to introduce lower-calorie fries as well, McDonalds said in a statement that it remained focused on serving the iconic fries that its customers love. McDonalds fries arent battered like Burger Kings fries.
Satisfries is the latest gambit by Burger King Worldwide Inc. to revive its image after a series of ownership changes. 3G Capital, the Brazilian private investment firm that bought the chain and took it private in 2010, unveiled a revamped menu last spring right before announcing a deal to take the chain public again.
The deal was structured in a way that let 3G more than recoup the $3.26 billion it paid for the chain, while maintaining a majority stake. Burger Kings stock price is up 37 percent over the past year and trading close to $20 per share.
Despite ramped up new menu offerings, sales at Burger King locations open at least a year slipped 0.5 percent in the U.S. and Canada, where it has about 7,200 locations. The metric is a key gauge of health because it strips out the volatility of newly opened and closed locations.
Still, Burger King is betting Satisfries will be so popular that people will be willing to fork over more money for them. The suggested price for a small order of Satisfries is $1.89, compared with $1.59 for regular fries. Thats a 19 percent markup.
At the event in New York, Burger King registered dietitian Keri Gans said Satisfries were about giving people a way to make a small change and still enjoy the foods they love.
