I watched the movie Forest Gump, what now seems like in another lifetime.
Well, given that I watched the movie way too close to the screen (those were the only tickets we got, for the first week of release. I have since learnt one can even wait as long as getting the movie on DVD to watch in one's jammies and the world does not end. Well, what I did get from the movie was a saying, that I still love using, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get…."
Today, has been one of those days, I have been doing almost nothing that I planned to do. I am getting a cold, somethig that I absolutely hate dealing with. I actually used this chutney with something else and realized that I had not written about this chutney. It is simple, but we loved it. It has become one of my favorite condiment. The beauty of preserving fruits and vegetables is just that, you can enjoy it even when the season is gone, without trying to savor blueberries on a chilly fall day from halfway across the world. Blueberries are an amazing fruit, rich with antioxidants and with enough vitamins and minerals to obtain a superfruit status. I have paired this well with scallops and shall talk about that one of days, but for today I am sticking to just the chutney.
Blueberry Ginger Chutney
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Makes 2 small jars of chutney
2 tablespoons oil
1 tablespoon Bengali 5-spice blend (panchphoron)
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
2 sticks cinnamon
3/4 cup grated jaggery or dark brown sugar
3 cups of fresh blueberries (preferably the tart late spring variety)
Method of Preparation
1. Heat the oil on medium heat for about 1 minute (this should be done in a large saucepan to allow room for the chutney to cook) and add in the panchphoron. The spices should crackle as soon as it makes contact with the oil.
2. Add in the ginger and stir lightly for about 1 minute.
3. Add in the salt, lemon juice, chili powder, cinnamon and the brown sugar and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally until the sugar has melted and a sauce has formed. This takes about 5 minutes
4. Add in the blueberries and cook for another 8 to 1o minutes, until the liquid is a deep blue almost purple color and the berries have just popped and released some of their juice. Do not overcook the berries as they should retain their shape.
5. Cool the mixture and remove the cinnamon sticks and place into jars. I usually keep mine in the fridge where it stays well for 2 – 3 months, so I do not worry about sterilizing the jars, but this can be preserved and will keep for about 1 month.

PLAYERS: Jeremy Bonderman
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners
The Seattle Mariners have signed pitcher Jeremy Bonderman to a minor league contract, hoping the right-hander can make a comeback from Tommy John surgery. The Mariners announced the deal Friday. They also invited the 30-year-old who was raised in the state of Washington to spring training. Bonderman has not pitched in the majors since 2010, when he went 8-10 with a 5.53 ERA for Detroit. He pitched eight seasons for the Tigers and helped them reach the World Series in 2006, when he was 14-8 and led the AL with 34 starts. Bonderman had surgery on his right elbow last April. A blood clot in his right shoulder slowed his career in 2008 after he had a winning record in three straight years.

The predominance of fee-for-service payment methods is the greatest barrier to improving efficiency in the nation's healthcare system, according to a May 29 report from a panel of White House advisors. The President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology criticized the FFS payment model because it focuses on the volume of services provided rather than on better outcomes.
Government health programs could save money and health outcomes could improve if more dual-eligible beneficiaries were to go from hospitals to well-staffed long-term and post-acute facilities, according to research from Brown and Harvard universities.
As the science of wound care develops, long-term care clinicians are faced with myriad options — and some cost constraints — when it comes to treatments
Everything Mary Leary needed to know about tenacity and resilience, she learned at home. Her father lived a full life despite injuries from World War II that left him fully disabled and forced him to relearn how to walk and talk.
Cultivating motivation in the rehab therapy setting comes down to pushing the right buttons at the right time — and knowing when to stop pushing.

Paper Check Conversion FAQ
What is check conversion?
The Paper Check Conversion System (PCC) is a process for converting checks into electronic fund transfers.
When you present a completed, signed check to NTIS, the information from your check is scanned into the PCC computer and used to generate an electronic transfer of funds from your account.
Your check is voided and subsequently destroyed. By presenting your completed and signed check to NTIS, you authorize the conversion of your check into an electronic transaction in this manner.
How quickly will funds be transferred from my account?
The electronic transfer of funds from your account will occur within 24 hours. Therefore, you should be sure that you have sufficient funds in your account to process the transaction. If you do not have sufficient funds, we may initiate the transaction again.
How will this transaction appear on my account statement?
The electronic transfer of funds will be reflected on your account statement. The transaction may be recorded in a different place on your statement than where your checks normally appear, such as under other withdrawals or other transactions . The name of the check cashing location should be indicated on the account statement.
What are my rights if there is a problem with the transaction?
You have protections under Federal law for an unauthorized electronic fund transfer from your account. You should contact your financial institution immediately if you believe that the transaction reported on your account statement was not properly authorized or is otherwise incorrect.
What if the electronic transaction cannot be processed?
In rare instances, an electronic fund transfer cannot be processed for technical reasons. In these cases, we will use the stored check information to create a paper version of the original check, which we will present to the financial institution for payment.

Cold Hollow Cider Mill in Waterbury Center is a popular tourist attraction in Vermont. The company known for apple cider and other sweet treats currently employs about 30 people. But a former bookkeeper left bitter feelings behind.
Michelle Rutledge, 47, of Berlin, pleaded guilty to wire fraud in January, admitting to stealing $75,000 from the company. She was sentenced Tuesday in federal court.
"We were very pleased with the outcome," said Paul Brown of Cold Hollow Cider Mill.
Paul and Gayle Brown hired Rutledge in 2000 shortly after they bought the business. They were in court when the judge handed down the two-year sentence.
"It was no longer about stealing from the business anymore," Gayle Brown said. "It was what she did to our community at Cold Hollow. The immediate community of Waterbury, the hockey program community, her family, her daughter. She duped everybody."
Cold Hollow was not Rutledge's only victim. She was also the treasurer of the Harwood Youth Hockey Association, where she admitted to stealing another $54,000. But Paul Brown says her crimes were about more than just taking other people's money.
"Also, for 13 years she dealt with customers and vendors and employees and representing us as the face of our company, the whole time be a liar and fraud and a thief," he said.
Brown says Rutledge used the company's credit card and corporate accounts to purchase personal items, like digital cameras, iPads and laptops. They say a series of lies finally alerted them that the numbers were not adding up. And they offer advice to other business owners.
"If you ever get an answer that you don't feel is quite right from an employee and those instincts are going off, follow them," Gayle advised.
"It is a lot like closing the barn door after the horse got out, but truly now I really scrutinize our company credit card accounts," Paul said.
The Browns believe Rutledge stole far more than $75,000 from the business, but the federal statute of limitations only goes back six years. They say not surprisingly, the company's profit margin doubled the year after Rutledge stopped working there.
"If they are dishonest, they are going to find a way to get away with it for quite a while. And this woman was clever enough to get away with it for 13 years, but not clever enough to get away with it forever," Paul said. "And now she is going to pay for it."
Paying for it by serving time behind bars, justice for a business and a community that got taken for a costly ride.
Rutledge reports to prison next month with a judicial recommendation for placement in a halfway house as soon as possible. She was also ordered to pay restitution to the victims. WCAX News spoke with her by phone Tuesday afternoon, but she had no comment.

If there's a theme to painter Jamie Miller's work, it's "the itch for northern Michigan." The scratch for this Ada artist's itch is his aptly-titled exhibition "North," opening May 24 at Center Gallery, 6023 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
Miller's love affair with northern Michigan brings him to the area throughout the year. He begins a composition with a photograph – of farm fields, rustic structures, pink light in the sky -- and returns to his studio to work out the images. He paints in oil on canvas. Miller attended Kendall College of Art and Design where he was introduced to oil painting.
A reception for the artist is Saturday, May 25, 6 p.m. "North" continues through June 27.
Gallery Hours: May: Fri., Sat., Sun., 11am–5pm.

The Cerazette pill is a progestogen-only pill that provides immediate contraceptive cover if taken on the first day of your period. A popular version of the mini-pill, this widely used mode of contraception has a 97-99% success rate, when used correctly. Because it contains only one type of synthetic female hormone, the Cerazette pill provides women who are particularly sensitive to oestrogen with a trusted method of contraception.
It tricks your body into thinking that ovulation has already taken place; in doing so there is a very strong chance an egg will not be released during your menstrual cycle. This contraceptive uses simultaneous techniques to stop conception during intercourse; it alters the consistency of the womb lining so that an egg can not implant itself there to grow, and thickens the cervical fluid making it tough for a sperm to entering the womb for fertilisation to take place.
Due to the absence of oestrogen Cerazette is said to be much safer for women who are breastfeeding, as well as women over 35 who smoke. It can be taken up to 12 hours later than usual, an additional benefit it has over regular mini-pills, which need to be taken within the same three hours every day. It can also provide relief for women who have very painful periods. In clinical trials, 94% of women reported less painful periods while taking Cerazette.
You should take it from the first day of your menstrual cycle for the full 28 days. Unlike other contraception, there is no seven-day break, so you start the first tablet in a new strip the day after finishing the last strip in the previous pack. It can be taken up to 12 hours later than your usual time, with or without food.
Beginning contraception on day two to five of your period is ok, but during the first cycle a barrier method, such as a condom is recommended for the first full week of tablet taking to give you a better chance of avoiding pregnancy.
This is suitable for most healthy women over the age of 18 who are looking for a long-term contraceptive.
It should not be used if you are already pregnant or if you are allergic to the active ingredient desogestrel. Cerazette is also not recommended if you have a history of circulation problems, breast cancer or have recently had jaundice or experienced undiagnosed vaginal bleeding.
As with many types of medication obtained with a prescription, women who take this for the first time may experience bouts of mild side effects. However, it should be made clear that these effects usually subside as your body gets used to the ingredients in Cerazette. The most commonly reported side effects of this contraceptive include: headache, nausea, acne, breast pain, weight gain, changes in mood, decreased libido and irregular periods.
You can obtain this prescription medication by completing our three-step online order process. On selecting your quantity of pills you must answer a short set of medical questions set by our doctor, who needs to be sure that you are suitable to use Cerazette. Once a consultation has been approved the 121doc pharmacist dispenses the medication the very same day.
Your medication will be delivered to your chosen address by Royal Mail delivery in protected packaging. If you have a query about ordering online, or require assistance in completing the order form please don't hesitate to contact us by phone, email or Live Chat.

Someone has asked, "What is the cage stage?" I have mentioned it a couple of times in various posts, most recently in my series Why I No Longer Celebrate Christmas. In my haste, I failed to adequately define this peculiar term for my readers, so I offer my sincere apologies and the following definition:
cage state | noun | demonstrating wild and possibly deranged excitement over the seventeenth century pronouncements of the Synod of the Canons of Dordt in the Netherlands. These pronouncements are often referred to as the five points of Calvinism and, once a person becomes convinced that these five points are true, he or she enters the dreaded "cage stage." The novice Calvinist is considered "armed and dangerous" during this period, which has been known to extend to six months, but in more serious cases can last up to ten years or longer.
Symptoms include: high fever that results in delirious incoherence of thought and speech; vomiting spasms brought on when anyone mentions "free will" or "asking Jesus into their heart" or the dreaded philosophy of Jacob Arminius; restlessness, especially during church services, when the sufferer goes more than an hour without hearing the TULIP's five bells ringing in their ears; and diahrrea of the mouth, where uncontrollable spasms of verbal nonsense put everyone within earshot at risk.
The recommended treatment is complete isolation, restriction of movement and speech, until the symptoms pass. Unfortunately, this treatment is rarely sought by the afflicted person, so family and friends are often left to suffer silently. The only person who can reach the cage stage victim is a more experienced Calvinist, because the victim's state of mind does not permit trust in any others. Please DO NOT attempt intervention without consulting an expert.
I trust this tongue-in-cheek definition will be helpful, leading to the early detection, treatment, and cure of this serious illness. As for myself, I do believe that there is life after Calvinism. It might be encouraging to hear from those who have recovered from the cage stage or those who have been able to help others through this personal crisis.
Note: After writing this post, I discovered an excellent article by beowulf, along with links on his site to ten other related articles (below) by various bloggers:
- Why Calvinists Have a Poor Reputation
- Baby Calvinists Should Be Shackled!
- Quick-and-Dirty Calvinism

Fast, Savory, and Satisfying Breakfasts for Busy Mornings?
Good Questions
Q: I've currently moved from grad student to full time office-goer and as a person who loves to cook, I feel my meals are less satisfying than they used to be due to lack of time.
I've managed to find ways to cook dinners and lunches but breakfast is a bit of a problem. I eat oatmeal every day because it's healthy and fast (I make a big pot on Sunday night) and top it with a spoonful of peanut butter.
Do you have any fast, savory breakfasts I can make in the morning (not much of a muffin or sweets person).
Sent by Kat
Editor: Kat, start with these roundups:
• 10 Hot Breakfasts for Cold and Busy Mornings
• 10 Make-Ahead Breakfasts to Start Your Day Off Right
Also, have you tried miso soup and rice? That's a very Japanese-style breakfast, and it can be so nourishing and filling. Both the soup and the rice can be made ahead and warmed up quickly in the morning or even transported in a thermos.
Readers, what else would you suggest?

I make egg sandwiches every morning. Of course, I cheat and use the microwave, but I'm sure there's another way to do it.
I scramble an egg in a 1 cup Pyrex measuring cup and microwave for about 90 seconds. You can add shredded cheese, but I'm lactose intolerant.
Then I put the egg on top of a toasted English muffin. Since I have a toaster oven, when I toast the muffin, I throw in some bacon I've cooked over the weekend and frozen. Put everything together and you have a cheaper, somewhat healthier Egg McMuffin.
I've been making breakfast casseroles on Sunday nights- saute a bunch of veggies (your choice) and meat (if you'd like), put in casserole pan and pour over eggs whisked with herbs and milk (I use almond milk), sprinkle with cheese and bake at 350 until edges start to pull away from the sides and the center is firm. I re-heat this and eat it all week. I like it because I can make it differently each week, and it's always delicious!
Savory oatmeal! Top your oats with salsa, cheese, and a sunny side up egg. Sliced avocado, cilantro, and chopped red onion are also good additions.
I know it sounds weird, but it is so so good!
I'd go with breakfast casserole. You can pour it into a muffin pan and then when done, freeze them so you have individual servings.
The breakfast casserole sound so smart and I'm drooling thinking about the savory oatmeal :)
I make something similar to the breakfast casserole, but I pour the batter into a muffin pan instead of a casserole dish. You can wrap and refrigerate/freeze individually, grab one each morning and reheat!
A poached egg on an english muffin with avacado slices is delicious. The egg poaches in the time it takes to toast the muffin and slice the avacado. Bada bing! A little messy though, if you're trying to eat on the run.
i've always thought this leek bread pudding recipe looked tasty and portable for breakfast since the photo shows it a sliced loaf. I think it would be extra good with a runny fried or poached egg on top (though, that would defeat the purpose of "quick", i know!).
Like ladybug said, making egg sandwiches are easy and delicious thanks to the ol' microwave. I also like making eggs with greens and toast. I toast some bread, steam some spinach in the microwave (either fresh or frozen) and poach an egg in the microwave once the spinach is done. Butter toast, top with spinach and egg. Easy peasy (and with minimal dishes)!
You could also do make-ahead breakfast burritos -- just make some with your fave fillings over the weekend, wrap in plastic and pop in the freezer. You can then pop it in the oven or microwave for a quick meal on the run.
Lastly, stir-fried rice is awesome in the a.m. Growing up, my mom always made it with egg and a bit of ham and veggies anyway, so it's breakfast-y. The bonus is you can just make a big panful on the weekends, then pop individually wrapped packages in the freezer for eating whenever you like, as opposed to keeping the container in the fridge and eating it for a week straight. Either way, you can warm it up in the microwave and eat at home, or warm it and pop it into a Thermos food jar to eat at work.
I like to make a what I call "Frittata Al Forno" for dinner sometimes. I'll make plenty so I can package the leftovers and reheat a small portion at a time in the microwave for breakfast.
I adapted the recipe from a dish they serve at Brio's Tuscan Grill. The ingredients include: angle hair pasta, cream, eggs, parmesan, fontina, bacon, caramelized onion, spinach and alfredo sauce.
Using the pasta instead of bread makes an interesting variation to the ordinary frattata.
Here are a few make ahead options that I have made from around the web...
Heat and Eat Quiche Breakfast Sandwiches: http://backtoherroots.com/2011/11/21/heat-and-eat-quiche-breakfast-sandwiches/
"Huevos Rancheros" over quinoa. Make a big batch of quinoa on the weekend to reheat in the microwave in portions during the week, and then all you have to do is fry an egg in the morning. Layer quinoa, some shredded cheese, the egg, salsa verde, and avocado (and hot sauce if you're me), and devour: http://www.girlsgonechild.net/2010/07/eat-well-another-quinoa-quickie.html
Mini Crustless Quiches from The Kitchn. A few weeks ago I made 14 dozen of these on a weeknight for a potluck breakfast without much effort. Freeze and reheat in the toaster oven while you're getting ready in the morning: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/breakfast/makeahead-recipe-crustless-miniquiches-125509
Love frittatas, breakfast casseroles, and breakfast burritos and make those often! Also, I am currently obsessed with peanut butter on toast, with or without jam =D All natural peanut butter + sugarless jam + whole wheat toast for delectable savory nuttiness with zero guilt! SO GOOD and takes 3 minutes to make. Another thing I love is making a big batch of egg salad with hummus instead of mayo and spreading it on toasted / untoasted bread for quick breakfast. Yum.
make ahead breakfast burritos
scrambled eggs/garlic/onions/spinach, maybe some black beans, maybe some soyrizo, maybe some roasted potatoes, maybe some cheese. steam or microwave a tortilla for 10 seconds so it's easy to wrap them and then stick em in foil and into the freezer. put it in the fridge before you go to bed at night and then wrap it in a paper towel and microwave for 45 seconds. add copious amounts of tapatio. easiest and most filling breakfast that i've figured out to throw in my bag on the way to work.
Get one of those 'one egg' frying pans- they look so silly but are perfect for a quick, no mess breakfast.
Sometimes I will fry an egg to top a salad of baby spinach. Toast a slice of wheat bread, chop it up into cubes- instant croutons!- dash on a wee bit of balsamic dressing, and you have a very simple but swank bistro style breakfast.
irry, good call. Peanut butter on toast. I like to add sliced bananas or bacon to it. I often buy a package of bacon and cook it up, then package it in zip locks and store in the refrigerator. In the morning, I'll add a few slices to the sandwich and it makes a very tasty breakfast.
I'll also scramble up some eggs (loose) the night before, refrigerate, and warm them up in the microwave then add the prepared bacon and some cheese. Or I'll just make scrambled eggs in the microwave and chow down in less than a minute.
AGREED on breakfast burritos. My fave is to saute up some little cubes of sweet potato, then mix in some black beans. Scramble up a mess of eggs and stick everything together with shredded cheese. If you were feeling really fancy, you could add onions, peppers, mushrooms, chorizo ... (I'm kind of partial to the nice plain ones though, maybe with a little salsa for dipping.)
I make small ones (soft taco-size tortillas) but even if you are into giant real-burrito size breakfasts, five at a time shouldn't be too difficult.
Alternately, I recently found a small bowl at a pottery shop that was billed as being good for making microwave scrambled eggs. It's heavyish, about the same size as two hands cupped together, gently rounded, and works well, though it might be totally unnecessary. (Anyone else know anything about nuking eggs?)
whoops. Apparently microwave eggs have been done, and I shouldn't keep so many tabs open at once that it takes me two hours to finish writing a comment. ;p
Agreed on the breakfast burritos! I make a whole pile of them and freeze them, then reheat in the microwave (2 min @ 50% power, then 1 min at full). Takes next to no time and I can hold it in one hand and eat as I run for the train!
veggie and cheese quiche cups! Saute veggies; while they are cooking, mix 4 eggs (about 3/4 of total eggs) and 3/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese. Let the veggies cool a little, mix with eggs and cheese, and bake for 15-20 at 350 in greased foil cups. They reheat easily and taste great!
Baked potatoes or sweet potatoes, last in the fridge for the work week, rough chop & crack an egg or two over them (takes 2-3 minutes to cook).
Frittata or quiche (both good hot or room temp) - I make my own quiche and freeze individual portions - I started doing this after trying the quiche at Tartine bakery in San Francisco because their squash/kale/sage quiche with creme fraiche tasted so good one morning for breakfast.
I make sweet smoothies but my cousin makes them savory using plain Greek yogurt, V8 and veggies (hey, heated, it's soup!).
I too make oatmeal, in several flavors (pear almond cardamom is my current favorite and it's made with fresh & dried pears and some pear nectar & honey), and then freeze it in single serve portions - I can take it with me to work or eat at home before I go - I just shift a portion from freezer to refrigerator the night before and if I want to really feel like I'm dining rich (or foolish) I broil a sugar crust on top (like the sugar crust on creme brûlée).
And my favorite quick-to-go breakfast is an almond butter sandwich with dried apricots or sliced pear or sliced apple but a friend mixes hot pepper jelly into his peanut butter and adds sliced bananas (I don't get it but he loves it!).
I don't like sweet food in the morning either. So my go to breakfast is some variation of either a cheese sandwich (may be grilled, may be broiled open faced, vary cheese and bread and condiments to keep from falling in a rut) or an egg and cheese sandwich. I've been eating this since I was a kid--it goes down easy, has protein to keep me going through the morning, and is fast and easy.
I thought I was so healthy eating oatmeal every day instead of the boxed (albeit whole grain) cereals my husband eats. Turns out I wasn't getting near enough iron, which those boxed cereals are often fortified with.
cook quinoa in a rice cooker over the weekend (i cup of it is enough for the whole week).. mix it up with whatever you would like in the mornings.. with almond milk, fruit, nuts, flaxseed, coconut shavings, etc! it's very versatile and will keep you full!
I always have a big bag of crepes in the freezer. I make big crepes and then fill them with cheese and ham, mushrooms and marinara sauce, veggies, fruit and cream cheese...literally anything. On the morning I take one out directly fromt he freezer to the microwave..it takes two minutes and I have breakfast. You can eat them on comute to work, its not messy at all and really filling. Sometimes I switch to whole wheat flour and they taste just as good. Seriosuly best idea I've ever had.
i love this recipe for eggs w/toast soldiers: http://www.thekitchn.com/thekitchn/breakfast/recipe-shirred-eggs-with-soldiers-six-ingredients-and-salt-143336
it's fast, tasty, and looks pretty! :)
I make the omelet muffins, too....like a casserole, but in individual muffin tins so I can toss them in the freezer and nuke them quickly if I'm in a hurry.
The burritos are a good idea, too. If you have room in the freezer, just make up a big batch and you'll have some to eat for a whole month (assuming you'd probably get sick of them quickly if you ate them every day, so it's easy to pull them out when you feel like it instead of having to think every morning).

"Mercy Catholic Medical Center Internal Medicine Program should be on your top Rank Order List as you prepare to secure a Residency position. Mercy Medical Center molds a new resident physician to fit into today's world of Internal Medicine; be it in hospital medicine, academic medicine, subspecialty practice , or primary care. The residency provides rotations in 2 different community hospitals with diverse populations to strengthen your knowledge base and clinical skills by treating a wide variety of disorders. The program's strength also lies in its 3- year curriculum that ensures all aspects of internal medicine and its subspecialties are covered - most importantly, daily noon conferences, floor & subspecialty rotations, morning reports, extensive ICU training and opportunity to perform clinical research with the support of a biostatistician."
Priyanka Bhattacharya Graduation Year 2013
"In my opinion Mercy Catholic Medical Center (MCMC) provides a perfect blend of an extensive clinical exposure and optimum academic teaching while training its residents. The best part is perhaps the wide diversity of patient population in two of the training hospitals. On one hand residents get the exposure of a very young cohort of patients with often rare diseases at Mercy Philadelphia Hospital. On the other hand the comparatively older patient population with significant co-morbidities at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital provides the necessary range of experience to provide a comfort zone to the residents to handle internal medicine practice challenges. While being a community hospital, MCMC provides substantial clinical research opportunities for interested and proactive trainees that are on a par with most university programs. With the unique leadership and constant striving for improvement by our program director Dr. Eiser, and our Associate Program Directors, Dr. Eric Green and Dr. Manzoor Rather, residents have proved to succeed anywhere in the nation both as internists, hospitalists, and subspecialty consultants."
Kaushik Chatterjee, MD Graduation Year 2013
"I am proud to be trained as internal medicine resident in Mercy Catholic Medical Center. The program is designed in such a way that you are confident to start off your career as soon as you step outside in the real world, be it a fellowship or an internal medicine practice. With efficient training and support from the faculty and co-residents, attendings and sub-specialties, Mercy is a community program that has a lot to offer for a resident with diverse interests. It is exciting to be a part of a team where everyone works together to learn and provide the best possible patient care. You are part of "Mercy family" where there is always an incredible number of people to help with your daily hurdles and to support you through life struggles because no one can grow as a clinician if not supported as a person."
Neelkantha Amatya, MD Graduation Year 2012
"I was a resident in Mercy hospital from 2008- 2011 and graduated in June 2011. I am now working as a hospitalist at Indiana University Hospital. I am writing this with acknowledgement of the fact that Mercy Catholic Medical Center is one of the best training institutions for residency. As an Attending physician at IU Hospital I always find that the things which I learnt in MCMC are of immense help. It has thought me to take medical decisions as an AOD and has given me the teaching experience and handle inpatients as a floor resident. I have immense respect for the various attendings who have guided us through these 3 years and made us successful clinicians and above all good human beings."
Karthik Karanam, MD Graduation Year 2011
"MCMC is a strong academic internal medicine program in a community hospital setting. The diversity of pathology is high, and program faculty is very helpful and accessible."
Thomas Drames, DO Graduation Year 2012
"The educational activities of department of medicine aspire to the excellence in training of residents as basis for career as PCP, hospitalist or for further subspecialty training. During my training, I was amazed to see elusive balance between outstanding clinical training and rewarding personal life. During my training at MCMC, I learned true professionalism, great work ethics, compassion for patients and their families and most of all how to treat the people with dignity, kindness and understanding. I have no hesitation to say that I was trained at one among the best community programs in the Philadelphia area. If I have to start my residency training again MCMC, will be my first choice as it was first time."
Anwar Iqbal, MD Graduation Year 2011
"I believe our program provides a great all round training experience in Internal Medicine with a special emphasis on hospital medicine. I find myself adequately equipped to deal with a varied set of patient populations in both inpatient and outpatient settings."
Vijayakumar Paramasivam, MD Graduation Year 2011
"It's a great privilege and pleasure to complete my internship training at Mercy Catholic Medical Center. The training at Mercy helped me to have a smooth transition from my internship to my anesthesia training. The diverse pathology, enthusiastic attendings willing to teach, along with great didactic sessions and a very talented and knowledgeable bunch of residents truly makes it a great place to gain tons of clinical knowledge and experience to start any advanced program you may be entering."

A Good Fit
In my "raising a spirited child" post I posed the question are some children just harder to parent than others? I often wonder if it's a matter of fit. What makes one family able to handle issues that cause another family to disrupt? How much of our parenting styles and personality styles come into play when dealing with difficult children. I do think some children just have easier going laid back personalities and others are of the more spirited nature. In our situation you have me the reserved anal retentive type A Mama who likes things structured orderly and in control and an extrovert wild child who fights for control every chance she gets. We are quite the odd couple… [more]
Raising a Spirited Child
If I had a dollar for every time someone said, " Boy she is a real firecracker" when talking about my daughter. I would be a wealthy woman. I do have an amazing daughter, who happens to be energetic, smart as a whip, a firecracker, a pistol, very much a typical toddler but with a little extra something that makes one want to call her strong willed or spirited. My daughter does not have that inner aim to please her parents as I have seen in some children. I know she loves us. She is affectionate and loveable. She just marches to the beat of her own drummer. I dig that about her but it also frustrates me. I explain to her… [more]

So, exactly how many blue K1200 s bikes have you seen in the U.S.?
does blue & white count? see a lot of these and one is at local dealer
and any pass in the same lane without notice is asking for trouble... you expect it in California and are very aware of it( been there,done that)..not Wisconsin![/QUOTE]
Yeah, but that is blue & white! No more blue than the BMW roundel. This guy was probably lumbering along on his LT with the cruise on, stereo blaring, and his feet on highway pegs hogging the lane and got pissed he was passed by a bike he is unsure of it's speed or color. He should not be pissed, because he did not pay attention to those around him.
Sounds like a whiner to me.
Face it, LT's and R bikes are rolling road blocks for Harley's.:bolt

(WHAS11)--Following its second NCAA Runner-Up appearance in the last five years, the University of Louisville women's basketball team has earned its highest preseason rankings by The Associated Press and USA Today Coaches' Poll. It is the third straight season the Cardinals have been ranked in the preseason Top 10.
The Cardinals knocked off four higher seeded teams to advance to the national championship game last season. After an impressive season, the Cardinals were picked No. 5 in the USA Today Coaches' Poll and No. 5 in the initial AP Top 25. Louisville's previous high in the preseason polls came last season when they were ranked No. 8 in both polls.
Louisville is one of two American Athletic Conference schools to be ranked in both polls along with Connecticut (No. 1/1), USF and Rutgers received votes in the polls. The Cardinals will also face No. 7/8 Kentucky and No. 19/19 Colorado and possibly No. 11/14 Oklahoma and No. 25/RV Gonazaga during the non-conference portion of the 2013-14 slate. Florida State and Quinnipiac are receiving votes in the polls.
The Cardinals return 10 letterwinners and four starters from last season's squad. Louisville will be led by preseason All-American Athletic performers Shoni Schimmel, Antonita Slaughter, and Sara Hammond along with NCAA Tournament Oklahoma City Regional All-Tournament Team honoree Bria Smith. The Cardinals also return Jude Schimmel, Megan Deines and Cortnee Walton. Seniors Asia Taylor and Tia Gibbs, and junior Shawnta' Dyer will return to the lineup after sitting out last season with injuries. New faces to the roster are Emmonnie Henderson, Monny Niamke and Starr Breedlove. Senior center Sheronne Vails will redshirt this season after having surgery in the off season.
Louisville opens the 2013-14 season with an exhibition game against Pikeville on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 11 a.m. ET in the KFC Yum! Center. Admission is free, fans can get a sneak peak of the Cards before buying season tickets.
You can follow the Louisville women's basketball team on Twitter and Instagram at @UofLWBB and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/UofLWBB.

Tom Degan: It's highly unlikely that any serious reform is going to be put forward until the Republican presence on Capital Hill has been significantly diluted if not eradicated. I do not believe that it is a given that they are going to gain major ground come Election Day. In fact there is every reason to believe that they will only continue to self-destruct between now and then. They can't win without the section of the electorate who describe themselves as "moderate". The moderates are taking a good look at the train wreck that is the modern GOP and by all accounts they're becoming more and more disgusted by what they see.

Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson warned her state's residents this month to avoid scam artists pretending to help consumers negotiate lower credit card interest rates. In some cases, companies posed as consumers' own credit card lenders and convinced victims that enrollment in a debt settlement program was mandatory. Swanson filed three lawsuits against fly-by-night operators, including one company that charged consumers up to $1,995 in upfront fees.
Instead of responding to solicitations, personal finance experts advise stressed-out cardholders to pursue three legitimate ways to cut interest rates.
- Credit card renegotiation. Cardholders in good standing have the power to ask for better terms, or to take their business elsewhere.
- Hardship assistance programs. Many credit card issuers can temporarily lower interest rates or freeze service fees for customers who can provide proof of unemployment or medical emergencies.
- Debt consolidation loans. Community banks and other consumer lenders can transfer balances from high rate credit cards to less expensive loans, especially when consumers have home equity or other collateral.
Swanson and other state officials warn consumers that a high pressure sales pitch is often the first sign that a prospective debt settlement company may not be legitimate. Consumer advocates note that debt settlement scammers often request more money in fees than it would take to pay down enough credit card debt to earn more favorable terms.

Banana Nut Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel
chefmaggie Posted: 06/03/09
baker13 Posted: 09/27/09
These muffins came out quite nicely for me, for whatever reason. Not gummy at all - good blend of moist and firm. I used old bananas that had been in my freezer for a couple months. Agree that more walnuts should be added. I didn't have any oats (whoops), so I sprinkled a few mini-chocolate chips on top of each muffin. They added a little flavor and texture without making it too sweet or adding too many calories. Without the chips, the muffins might have been a tiny bit boring.
ZelJoy28 Posted: 02/22/10
I love this recipe! The muffins came out moist and tastes hearty. Not too sweat yet tastes like a treat! I didn't have regular milk so I replaced it with coconut milk that I had in the pantry. I also used whole wheat in the streusel and added 2 tblspns flax seed flakes to the dry mix. This one is a great muffin for those wanting a yummy snack that's not too sweet yet filling.
amolsson Posted: 08/01/10
This is a very low rating for me. The muffin topping had way too much flour -- leaving a dry bland topping. The muffin itself lacked flavor. It seems the individuals that have provided a 4 or 5 star rating altered the recipe in some way. I am open to trying the recipe again -- take out half of the flour in the streusel, add another banana to the muffin mix as well as some extra vanilla extract.
sofronia22 Posted: 12/27/10
the ingredients in here are sooooo high on the rate chart, banana, oatmeal, thats good for you. the taste is so yummie. i just love them and they are easy to make. a good way to use those bananas that we cant seem to get to fast enough ;)
rmiller2 Posted: 07/21/11
These muffins turned out pretty well. I do agree that there wasn't as much flavor as I would have liked and were a tad gummy, but also moist and not too heavy. I substituted low-fat plain yogurt for the milk (which I don't think made much of a difference in the final product). I also did not make the topping because I prefer muffins without added sweetness/garnish.
jessicamorris Posted: 09/26/11
tasted good but the bottom was a little over cooked!
dawnhersh Posted: 01/02/12
A good use of bananas that are too mushy to eat straight up. Added a pinch of cardamon to the batter to give it a bit of kick. Didn't have brown sugar, so used white sugar. Added some grated ginger to the topping - which made way too much. Threw at least 2/3 of it away. Also, didn't have walnuts, so used slivered almonds.
hljpolson Posted: 07/29/12
Should spray the muffin liners. Made a triple batch and they turned out pretty good. Next time I might add a litte banana extract to boost flavor.
GoBucks Posted: 09/12/12
Simply delicious. If you follow the recipe and don't make substitutions, it won't disappoint!
wgcorbett Posted: 08/05/12
These muffins were great. I used all whole wheat flour, added some ground flax seed and a scoop of protein powder to the dry ingredients. I also added more walnuts, based on others' ratings. By mistake I ended up making the streusel with melted instead of softened butter and I actually preferred it. The streusel-ish topping was tasty, but not crumbly.
maddypotpie Posted: 02/10/13
As other reviewers mentioned, this recipe makes way too much streusel topping and is too "floury". Cut the flour by half. These were slightly bland and didn't have enough banana flavor. I won't be making these again because I have a lot better recipes for my overripe bananas.
lauribear Posted: 09/08/12
These are delicious and incredibly moist! I would have given them 5 stars, but the recipe made way too much streusel for 12 muffins. If I hadn't had to throw out half of it, I would have given them 5 stars for sure. I added some freshly grated nutmeg to the dry ingredients and swapped in allspice for the cinnamon in the streusel topping. I also replaced 1/4 cup of the white flour with flaxseed meal. I kept the rest the same and muffins are wonderful. I will be making these again for sure.
Peggeo Posted: 05/24/13
These were easy to make and okay. Way to much streusel topping and was too floury. I used pecans since I didn't have walnuts. I also thought they were a little bland, maybe more vanilla and another banana.
JessicaAnnLewis Posted: 10/23/13
The muffins/bread were good but a little bland. If you are looking for a less sweet version of the standard banana bread this is the recipe you've been looking for.
sweetette Posted: 10/07/13
My batch had a mild banana flavor and were very nice. Yes, they were a bit gummy on the bottom, but truthfully, most low-fat muffins are somewhat gummy. I'd up the spices and maybe even add finely diced pineapple and ginger root next time, but will make them again soon. I did without the streusel topping as well, as The Honey isn't into that. I bet they will be YUMMY with a little peanut butter tomorrow morning:)
adoglesby Posted: 08/04/13
Very gummy on bottom, sticking to liner.
Gettinthere46 Posted: 01/13/14
These were delicious. I added some blueberries also, and used bread flour. It seems to make for a better texture. They came out of the oven looking like they were from the bakery and my kids devoured them...mom too!

A daily post or more babbling from me,
I just finished mucking about in my journals in which I need to put in order with all the bits in it. Stickers, postcards, prayer cards and pics of icons of saints. Newspaper clippings with the horde in them, swim ribbons etc.
Today was a good day and a bad day. I went out which I know was the best idea but I needed to get out of the house. I also ended up having a rare blow up with Matthew which just ruins the day for me because I hate it when it happens. We rube along so well it is rare when it does but :(
I have The Raven to watch later. I took a pill and feel like I am gently wrapped in cotton but not really sleepy and my knee is still throbbing.
My tee today had Cthulhu on it and wore my Rob Zombie socks.
I got things needed and and a new candle for the kitchen. It is pecan pie smelling and it is wonderful.
Movies added to the list, The Breakfast Club, Reservoir Dogs, and Not Forgotten.
I did a drabble and the darling 3pirouette left a nice comment but I get so insecure about posting anything anymore. I don't know what happened, it didn't bother me back in the day. Maybe I will force myself to finish something and post it somewhere.
I got all my flash I have collected of tattoos I want. When I get this knee fixed I am getting the rest of the tattoos I want. The Angelus one from Buffy since my first name does start with an A. The devil and angel swallows I want on either side of my scared heart of Lord Jesus I have on my back on the base of my neck. And the sugar skull I want on my back below that. I want Death from the Sandman comic too. I have great love for this character going back to my early college days.
I have other tats too.
I hope tomorrow is a better day bbs. Good night of TV, awesome night of TV since season 3 of The Walking Dead is being add to my schedule. I have the first eppy of Beauty and the Beast on the CW which I found out is a remake of the 1980s Beauty and the Beast which I adored until they killed off Catherine.
Hope everyone's weekend is going good. Love all of my followers.
Michonne is finally on The Walking Dead TV version!

Continuing the Pressure on Senator Lugar Across the Hoosier State
November 22, 2010 by Adrian Matanza, Regional Field Director
Last week, we were in northern Indiana on the campus of Indiana University South Bend, just a couple miles away from Notre Dame University. There, the members of the Feminist Student Union wrote letters and made calls to Senator Lugar urging him to support repeal and vote in favor of the NDAA with repeal attached. This week, before they all
head home for Thanksgiving, members of FSU will be across campus collecting letters and making more calls to make sure Senator Lugar hears from all Hoosiers. If you're in the South Bend area, make sure to stop by and make your voice heard. This afternoon, Major General Dennis Laich was in Bloomington (an hour and a half south of Indianapolis) for a forum hosted by OutLaw, the LGBT group for IU's Law school, about DADT repeal. After his presentation, the students made sure to call both Senators Lugar and Bayh to urge them to support repeal. I'll be working with OutLaw and General Laich in the coming weeks to continue the efforts to make sure repeal happens this year.Make sure you've made your calls to your Senators. Just a reminder, the Capitol Switchboard number is 202.224.3121. Call early, call often. They need to hear from you. We'll be on the ground in Indiana and could use your help. Contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

LAS VEGAS -- Clark County commissioners have approved a resolution that asks the Nevada Legislature to approve a plan to increase the sales tax to pay for more police.
Sheriff Doug Gillespie went before Clark County commissioners Tuesday asking them to approve a resolution in support of a one-fourth cent sales tax approved by voters years ago but was never put into effect. In 2005, the legislature added wording that limited the use of that money.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is facing a budget shortfall of $46 million.

So you're sitting in your cubicle being a productive employee, but all you can hear is the sound of one of your office mates hacking and sneezing. It seems every workplace has its own Typhoid Mary -- that person who lives ahead of the curve on colds. A few years ago, there wasn't much you could do to avoid catching that cold if it was airborne, but things are slowly improving.
First let's look at what you might catch just by breathing the same air as that person. A whole host of diseases is spread via airborne transmission, including influenza, pneumonia, chicken pox, whooping cough, smallpox, tuberculosis, polio and measles. And for many years there have been worries that terrorists could exploit airborne transmission; anthrax, for example, can be released into the atmosphere and inhaled. Some airborne diseases, such as polio and smallpox, may not seem like pressing health threats today, but experts worry that the possibility of airborne transmission could cause epidemic-level infections in the future. The others are more immediately pressing; whooping cough and influenza can put you on bed rest for many days and drain your wallet with medical visits and prescriptions. And as far as productivity goes, it's estimated that every person with the flu loses at least a couple days of work. And even when you're trying to work while infected with the flu, your productivity is hovering below 50 percent [source: Workplace Vitality]. Stronger diseases like pneumonia will have a harsher effect.
So how can you avoid catching an airborne disease if you're sitting in the same office as an infected person? One of the most effective factors in controlling airborne diseases lies in controlling airflow and filtration. If your workplace's HVAC system draws some fresh air from the outdoors and exhausts old air, you're already in good shape. As for the air that gets recirculated, there are advanced filters and ultraviolet germicidal irradiation systems that can clean your air of many microbes that transmit disease [source: American Institute of Biological Sciences]. If your office doesn't have any of these systems in place, you might be able to convince your boss to buy one after showing her a calculation of workdays and productivity lost to influenza alone [source: Workplace Vitality]. Over the course of a few years -- assuming that the reduction of microbes along with airborne mold, pollen, and other contaminants creates a healthier workplace -- the costs will get outweighed by the benefits.

U of S students take part in unique ethnocultural field experience
By David Hutton
Research Communications
University of Saskatchewan master's student Heather Watson never imagined that her history research would entail sleeping on the dirt floor of a traditional Aboriginal longhouse, fishing in the mighty Fraser River Canyon, climbing trees to collect licorice fern, wading through patches of metre-high stinging nettles, and interviewing Aboriginal elders.
Watson is one of six U of S students currently immersing themselves in the Sto:lo (pronounced "Stahlow") community in British Columbia as part of the only ethnohistory field school in Canada.
"It's been a fantastic experience," says Watson. "Rather than reading through mountains of secondary sources, we've been able to talk to people who actually experience what we're trying to understand and describe."
The four-week ethnohistory field school, which combines research into historical documents and the Sto:lo oral tradition, takes place in Chilliwack, B.C. Students earn credit for the course, co-taught by U of S professor and Sto:lo history scholar Keith Carlson and University of Victoria professor John Lutz.
For the first week, each student is billeted with a Sto:lo family.
"They become connected to the community as part of this cross-cultural experience," says Carlson. "The family is participating in a traditional healing ceremony, the students are invited, and if they need an extra for a softball game the students gladly fill in."
The remaining three weeks of the students' time is spent in a traditional longhouse. They sleep on raised platforms around open fires and dirt floors. Tribal Council employees provide introductions and direction for the research projects.
They also receive an orientation to Sto:lo territory, a workshop on the Sto:lo language and archeological and historical boat tours through the Fraser River canyon.
"In the longhouses, the students have to live communally," says Carlson. It gets them into a different head space and shows them a different world view. The power of the collective within the First Nations people is so strong and this gets the students thinking differently."
Student research projects are pre-identified by the Sto:lo Nation but can take on many forms, ranging from important political projects to matters that elders have wondered about.
The projects are designed to fill scholarly voids while meeting the research needs of the community, and in particular those that the host Sto:lo do not have the staff, resources or expertise to carry out.
This year, U of S students are investigating and documenting a variety of projects, including preparing biographical notes and life stories on Irene Alex, an elder, who is the daughter of academy award-nominated actor Chief Dan George.
"You walk into the Alex's house and there are photos of her father with Clint Eastwood, Kevin Costner, and Dustin Hoffman," says Carlson.
At the end of the field experience the students are expected to produce a research paper on their findings that will be kept in the Tribal Council's archives.
"The course is both challenging and rewarding," says master's student MacKinley Darlington. "It goes beyond regular courses because there is no down time, and because the community puts so much value in our work. We need to be conscientious and scholarly."
"Many students make and sustain long-term friendships and often turn their field experience into scholarly work," Carlson explains.
This is the fourth year for the class, which runs every two years. Carlson hopes to start a website where the students' experiences and research can be accessed.
