The Hon Tony Burke MP
Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities
Senator the Hon Kate Lundy
Minister for Sport, Multicultural Affairs, Minister Assisting for Industry and Innovation
Celebrating multicultural Australia
Joint media release
15 February 2013
The Gillard Government is celebrating multicultural Australia with a new heritage theme for 2013 looking at the stories and contribution of migrants.
Environment Minister, Tony Burke and Multicultural Affairs Minister, Kate Lundy today called on the community to bring forward nominations for national heritage places around a new theme celebrating multicultural Australia.
"For every Australian, the story of their family heritage is either the story of the first Australians or a story of the journey here," Mr Burke said.
"The national heritage list has many examples of indigenous heritage and many examples of our colonial history, but I have never understood why we have been so slow to recognise the heritage of those families who have come to Australia in the many waves of immigration we have had subsequent to our colonial history.
"No matter what religion people are, no matter what part of the world they came from, whether they came here for job or whether they came fleeing persecution, their stories are part of Australia's story.
"The whole concept of the heritage list is to tell the story of Australia. Only when the multicultural stories are added will the list truly tell the story of our nation."
Senator Lundy said Australia is a successful multicultural nation with over 7 million migrants successfully settling here since the Second World War.
"Australia's multicultural story is an important part of our national history,'' Senator Lundy said.
"I encourage Australians to nominate places that capture the contributions of migrants so their legacy can continue for future generations."
A call for nominations for places on the National Heritage and Commonwealth Heritage lists is currently open and will close on 15 March 2013.For more information go to www.environment.gov.au/heritage/nominating/index.html

Issue #23 - 2012-01-02 - Plain Black is hiring + A great podcast from Australialatest | archive
Welcome to 2012!
I hope you all had a very good party on New Year's Eve and now you are ready to take on the next year. I have lots of plans for 2012. Both in the content distribution field, where the Perl Weekly belongs, and in the content generation field with the Perl Maven. Some will be free and some paid.
As I have almost finished the first part of the Beginner Perl Maven course I am starting this year with a week of discount. Check it out.
If you don't need the beginner course, then just enjoy the articles:
Tom Eliaz returned and released a new and improved version of the binary Padre package for OSX. Please, help him track down and fix the issues!

Jonas B. Nielsen at logicLAB is using Perl and Jenkins for continuous integration. These are the Perl modules you need to use to work with Jenkins.
Google Code-in - Fit the Third
Mark Keating (MDK) provides his 3rd and very detailed report about the status of The Perl Foundation related tasks in the Google Code-in project. Nice charts too.
Perl Documentation in Terms of Tasks
chromatic describes the problems people who are not in the core perl community face when trying to figure out what and how to use. He explains what kind of documentation he would like to see added to CPAN modules. That resonates very much with how I am planning to expand my Perl tutorials.
Syntax Highlighting Perl Debugger on github
It seems Ovid does not spend enough time on his book, blogging and moving from Amsterdam to Paris so he wrote color highlighting for the built-in debugger of Perl.
Breaking the Perl Debugger for Fun and Profit
Shlomi Fish (rindolf) writes about a few things he has done recently. The most interesting being his work on the built-in debugger of perl and how it needs more test cases. I connected him to Kevin Dawson (bowtie) who has been enhancing the Debug::Client module that is a front end to the built-in debugger. I hope they'll figure out some way to share the tasks.
Alberto Simões writes about his new module that is supposed to do language detection. And I was just wondering recently how could I do that automatically.
Ovid showed us a horrific regex that he is going to include in his new book. First he got some comments on Facebook and then blogged about it with a modified version of the same thing.

Vinyl Applique for Vinyl Mudroom Bench Cushion?
Good Questions
Q: I recently purchased a simple bench/shoe rack for the little mudroom we have. It is less than a foot in depth — perfect for us. Problem is, the cushion is covered in a bland off-white vinyl, but my son is allergic to dust and dust mites so I don't want to use a fabric covering. What can I do to dress it up a little? Should I try vinyl wall decals? I'm worried that they won't stay in place, since we'll be sitting on the bench a lot. Any other ideas? Many thanks.

I would be wary of vinyl decals - I just don't see them surviving the rivets on jeans, wear and tear, etc. Personally, if I really didn't care for the vinyl, I would go to a fabric store and get a yard of a more interesting vinyl and recover it; you can likely find something at a decent price, and recovering the bench should be no harder than doing a dining room chair, so long as you have a staple gun.
Absolutely the way to go! Although vinyl tablecloths are readily available, they will not be very durable so get upholstery type of viny. Good luck!
Maybe you could sew a removable cover for the cushion with a fabric of your choice? If it's removable, you'd be able to wash it regularly and thus keep the dust it collects to a bare minimum.
Why change the cushion? You could decorate around it instead. Focus on a more cheerful wall color and a brighter rug. Then the whole arrangement won't look so bland.
use vinyl paint & a stencil
Modern "oil cloth"comes in a ton of cool patterns.
Fabric won't gather much dust if you vacuum frequently. Lots of people are allergic to dust and dust mites, and have upholstered furniture.
Recover with vinyl and tuft it to spice it up
Visit your local fabric shop - they have vinyl or oil cloth options. Even if it's a JoAnns, the ladies who work the fabric desk are a wealth of knowledge. They have lots of practical advice and you can add the design ideas.
I would look into Hulda Clark's liver flush. It has an amazing impact on allergies.
I covered my kitchen chairs in the fabric I loved, then covered the fabric with upholstery-grade clear vinyl. They are easy to clean and look great.
tbgboodler, Brilliant! Fantastic solution! I think I'll do that on some of my chairs, too!
tbgboodler, Brilliant! Fantastic solution! I think I'll do that on some of my chairs, too!
the undecorated wall is the problem, not the cushion....
if you want to use a decal, place one on the wall above the bench...
I mean, you can't go wrong with a little Marimekko... (plus I bet you could buy just a 1/2 yard since it's the opposite of cheap)
I like tbgboodler's idea as well. In fact, saw this blog post just the other day with a DIY...
I definitely don't think wall decals would stick to vinyl at all. However, it might look cool to stick them to the wall behind the bench. Ikea has some nice ones.
Another idea is to have a removable cover made for it, with elastic around it, that is machine washable so you could wash it once a week and it won't trigger your son's allergies. I think a horizontal stripe would look nice. Or figure out a way to attach stripes without recovering it. Possible with glue, but I'm not sure how well that would work. I also have dust mite allergies and I know how hard it can be. Good luck!
I think you can choose leather as an alternative, it has good properties but don't take suede, choose natural leather. Here you can find good alternatives. http://creacionamantolli.com.mx/
I'd definitely cover over the bench top, assuming it is removable with four screws holding it on, using a staple gun, with a more colorful non-fabric material. I'd also look at wall decals for the wall behind the bench, as it looks a bit bare, and a more colorful rug, I see a longer runner in stripes in this entryway.
Or you could paint the bench a color that would stand out.
I think you could go to a shop where vinyl signs are made and get something custom in colors you like. They have the capability of making designs, letters, whatever you want to use as a pattern for the seat, and they can use multiple colors if you want. Having a small piece like this made would not be too costly, they usually charge by the square foot. They have a variety of vinyl weights and types for the background, and all of these in lots of colors. Then you could swap out the vinyl on the original for something you designed. If you like the color of the seat, you could probably have your design applied to it since it is essentially peel and stick. I think it would hold up well, the signs are designed to go outdoors in all kinds of weather. I am sure you could take a simple fabric design to them and have it copied or modified to suit you. I would say there are many possibilities.
They could scan one of your son's drawings too and scale it to fit, I am sure. Just another idea.
Simple solution would be to cover right over with Marimekko classic poppy fabric (their iconic design which never goes out of style and is available in many colors)...it comes in oilcloth. I used it on 6 dining room chairs, making sure to vary the pattern in each, and it has held up with 2 kids without any rips or stains for 6 years now.
Rustoleum and Colorbond both make paints made to adhere to vinyl upholstery. Surfaces have to be completely cleaned (to help with paint bonding) and completely dry.
Use safe practices, floor cloths, open windows and doors or use a garage.
Several fine coats and allow drying between coats.
Another way to decorate the vinyl is to remove the covering and use a machine to apply a decorative embroidery stitch to the surface and reattach to the bench.
I think the bench is fine but I would do that whole wall in cork and lower the coat rack that is hanging there. Your floors looks great.

It wouldn't be a proper turkey dinner without the cranberry sauce in most American homes. Although the canned version is perfectly acceptable, homemade cranberry sauce is so very simple to make. This recipe features both fresh and dried cranberries: the tart assertiveness of fresh berries is balanced by the sweet intensity of dried fruit, while the texture of the conserve benefits from a combination of soft fresh cranberries and chewy dried. The fragrance of orange marries beautifully with cranberry, so we've included it here to enliven the sauce. If you prefer, use lemon or ginger to perk up the flavor.
Place the sugar and juice in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves.
Lower the heat to medium and add the strips of zest, star anise, and the dried and fresh cranberries. Cook, uncovered, until the berries soften and burst their skins, and the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
Discard the zest and star anise. Stir in the orange liqueur. The sauce may be covered and refrigerated for up to 10 days.

Can the unbeaten run continue?
So hyped for Sunday.
Yeah, lot of overlap in the Venn diagrams of "English cricket supporters" & "St Kilda sympathisers". Good spot.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"as much a news event as an actual footballer, a worthy stop-start centre forward, but an all-time hyper-galactico when it comes to doing funny things with cars and hats, a player whose signing proves once again that the Premier League is still undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to doing things with cars and hats."
- Barney Ronay on Mario Balotelli
2004 was amazing, 2009 was even better before we lost to Essendon and then inexplicably to North Melbourne, shame we choked when it mattered both seasons. The to cap it all off we played out of our skins in the 2010 grand final against a team that was much better than us and we couldn't get a result. I gave up watching AFL because of **** like this

SOURCE Uber
To launch the partnership, $1 of every July 4 Uber ride using "UberMADD" promotion code will be donated to MADD
SAN FRANCISCO, July 2, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In anticipation of the Fourth of July holiday weekend-one of the deadliest holidays for drunk driving crashes-Uber Technologies and nonprofit advocacy organization Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) today launched #UberMADD, a national partnership designed to prevent drunk driving. To kick off the campaign, Uber will donate to MADD $1 for every ride taken and $10 for every new rider between 6:00 a.m. on July 4 and 6:00 a.m. on July 5 when riders use the promotion code "UberMADD".
"Drunk driving is 100 percent preventable. With easy, reliable and affordable alternative transportation options like Uber, there's no reason for anybody to get behind the wheel while impaired," said MADD National President Jan Withers. "We are proud to partner with Uber to help prevent drunk driving because it's another option at your fingertips for getting home safely."
#UberMADD is an ongoing partnership that will include regional educational campaigns throughout the year to encourage adults to choose a safe way home if they're going to drink. The partnership is kicking off in time for the July Fourth weekend, which has one of the highest incidences of fatal drunk driving collisions.
"For years we have heard anecdotally that riders rely on Uber instead of drinking and driving – and now we're able to measure the impact that choice has on DUI rates," said Uber Co-Founder and CEO Travis Kalanick. "We've seen it in Seattle with a 10% reduction in DUI rates since Uber entered the market and we are excited for the ways this partnership will continue to spread the word about the importance of making a safe choice – by taking Uber."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that drunk driving crash fatalities increased by 4.6 percent in the United States from 2011 to 2012, and nearly half of fatal crashes during the 2012 July Fourth weekend involved a drunk driver. In contrast, according to Uber's recent analysis of publicly available data, DUI arrests decreased 10 percent after Uber rolled out in Seattle.
For more details about the partnership, please visit blog.uber.com/MADD or www.MADD.org/UberMADD.

By seamlessly connecting riders to drivers through our apps, we make cities more accessible, opening up more possibilities for riders and more business for drivers.

The most important advice is to get experienced in the market while trading small sums - all of which he should be able to afford to lose. Choosing the right forex broker is also crucial. The trader should educate himself on Technicals and Fundamentals and most importantly in good risk management, so that his exposure to losses is always limited and controlled. The FX markets and the trading options and platforms offer excellent stop loss and limit order functionality and with 24 hour liquidity in most currencies, risk exposure can be managed well. Most importantly, clients should trade on modest leverage levels, which will ensure gains and losses are moderated.

A Goodwill Boutique
The new Olympia, Washington store opens today September 5th at 10am. Customers and neighbors will find themselves surrounded by high end second hand items beautifully merchandised and priced to sell. Did I mention free cupcakes? YES! First 50 customers courtesy of Bonjour Cupcakes in Olympia. And, don't forget to enter the drawing to win a $250 gift card.
Personally, I never knew Olympia had such a cute little downtown core. The tree lined streets are full of activity: small coffee shops, antique stores, hip bars, and of course the new blue Boutique! Just make sure when you type in the address to your GPS that you specify Capital Way SOUTH (not north.. woops).
To the average thrift store shopper that enjoys the hunt and the fantastic deal, this store may not quench the treasure hunting thirst. But to the novice thriftier who doesn't like to get their hands dirty, this is the place for you. Yes, it's priced a little higher than a normal Goodwill but consider it a convenience fee. Clean and bright, organized and perfectly merchandised, this store feels like you are in a cozy well stocked boutique ('cause you are!). All they are missing is the smelly soaps, lotions, and hand made greeting cards.
Store Manager Candra Hooker and her team take pride in their work. The merchandising is flawless! Well coordinated outfits around the store inspire creativity. There is something for everyone. When you walk in the carefully selected, like-new housewares are displayed on clean and gorgeous shelving.
Directly to the right of the door a distinguished reading nook and library sit warmly lit. The men's section next to it contains many high end numbers. A Seahawks Jersey (Thomas #29) new with tag at less than half the price it would be new, white great condition Ecco slip-ons, heavy flannel coat, and manly collectables. All a guy needs is a cigar and he's set (there's already a flask….)!
Why buy your kid brand new clothes when they'll just out grow them in a month or two? Goodwill is the perfect place to shop for your kid. The back of the store has racks of clothing from newborn to toddler and above. At least half of the merchandise I saw was new with tag.
The woman's section in the middle of the store leaves nothing to be desired. The color coordinated Jewelry Case begs to be stared at.
Everyday the store receives new shipments from the distribution center of the crème de la crème Goodwill donations. You can also bring (small) donations to this store. The storage in the back is very minimal but they will gladly accept your gently used items. Of course the proceeds from this store go to support all the community services Tacoma Goodwill provides. So you know that the $15 you pay for that new pair of jeans will go to help someone get their GED or to someone learning the food service ropes at Tacoma Goodwill's Neighborhood Bistro.
Things to Remember:
- Bring quarters for parking; $1 will buy you about an hour. Almost all the streets are metered 3 hour limit. I had no problem finding a spot on a busy Wednesday afternoon.
- Today an umbrella is a good idea (and tomorrow for that matter). You will probably have to walk a few blocks through a bustling cute neighborhood.
- Located on Capital Way SOUTH between 5th and Legion (click here for Google map)
- Hours: Mon-Sat 10-7 Sunday 11-4
- Hit the Olympia Goodwill store afterwards! Just a few minutes away….

Danish percussionist Henrik Knarborg Larsen has performed as a soloist and chamber-musician all over Scandinavia, Europe, USA and Asia. He is Head of Percussion at the Royal Academy of Music Aarhus/Aalborg, where he has re-build the percussion education, based on modern principles that encompass interpretation theory, practice strategy and body and mind awareness, which he presented at PASIC Indianapolis 2009. He has recorded several CD's, including the solo-CD "Convergence" (Classico) and this years new releases Musica Impura (Classico) and Burst (Dacapo Records). In Paris in 2007 he premiered the solo show "Les sons de l'art", a combined theatre and contemporary music performance. Last year he acquired the position as percussionist at Århus Sinfonietta, the oldest and most prestigious contemporary music ensemble in Denmark.
The Danish Press wrote about his debute:
Something never seen and heard before – excellent virtuosity with a very clear sense of form. Electrifying the Rhythm with explosive, held back excitement.
Royal Academy of Music Aarhus:
This year we introduced a marimba major soloistclass and several specialized lines on the Candidate, i.g. collaboration with electronic music department, modern music or an orchestra major with close collaboration with the professional SO, with whom we share wonderful buildings in the center of Aarhus.
Review from Percussive notes October 2008 issue:
Percussionist Henrik Larsen demonstrates his technical and musical command of music from Baroque to the contemporary on his solo percussion recording Convergence. His sensitive interpretation of the six parts of Bach's "Cello Suite No. 3" for solo marimba closely mirrors the legato texture of the cello bow, and his phrasing possesses jus the right amount of ebb and flow... Draws the listener in. Larsen concludes the recording with Xenakis' classic "Psappha" for solo percussion. Written in 1975, this piece for nonpitched percussion (woodblocks, bongos, toms, etc.) possesses a bombastic, yet regal weight under Larsen's able control.

I've tried quite a few sugar free syrups for my coffee while on my low carb diet. This one is not one of my favorites. It has a slightly strange aftertaste to me.

First time I've tried this syrup It has very good taste, I will mix this with a creme de menthe syrup taste like peppermitt pattie also good with the Amaretto syrup
Lee R. from Home Use Posted on 05/21/2014
This white chocolate flavor tastes almost identical to the one I was drinking with sugar. It's nice that Torani offers this in sugar free form. Very pleased.
Tamara C. Posted on 04/08/2014
This sugar free white chocolate from Torani is a favorite in our coffee house. Most places offer limited sugar free options and people appreciate us offering this one. No diet taste!
Steven G. from cuppa sunshine Posted on 02/15/2014
Torani Sugar Free White Chocolate Flavoring Syrup is very pleasant, but not as tasty as I had hoped. It's very mild-tasting in tea and coffee, to the point that I wouldn't have noticed its presence if I had not added the syrup myself! However, with the addition of a small amount of peppermint syrup, the flavor becomes more noticeable and makes a decent white chocolate-peppermint flavored tea.

Consultation-liaison prychiatry did not emerge as a prominent psychiatric subspecialty until the remedicalization of the psychiatric profession in the 1970s. The author traces the history of consultation-liaison and discusses the various definitions of the subspecialty. He outlines how consultation-liaison psychiatrists work ingeneral hospitals and medical school departments of psychiatry. The future of consultation-liaison psychiatry, the author says, depends on developments in four areas: psychosomatic research, behavioral medicine, holistic health care, and general hospital psychiatty. To ensure a bright future for the subspecialty, consultation-liaison psychiatrists must meet fiscal, research, and political challenges, make peace with other behavioral scientists, develop close relations with the nursing profession, enjoy the support of medical school departments of psychiatty, and transform the consultation model into a comprehensive consultation-liaison model.

Interview with Carl Cox
Legendary techno DJ Carl Cox talks us through his formative influences, his 10-hour DJing marathon in Ibiza and his brand new album, All Roads Lead To The Dancefloor.
Questions and answers
How and when did you first get into DJing?
When I was about eight, I used to hijack my parents' stereo and play all the records at their parties and get the whole family and their friends grooving around the lounge. I got my first decks around the age of 15 and would just buzz off of playing music to people anywhere I could. I even set up in my school canteen a few times too!
Can you tell us three of your biggest musical influences?
Wow, well there are so many. I guess in the early days it was my parents' soul records; I'd play anything from Booker T & The MG's to Aretha Franklin. In the 80s it was disco and towards the end of that decade, acid house.
And what was it that originally drew you towards the techno sound?
I guess it was the raw funk that the music also had, and that you could literally feel the soul that the producer had poured into making it sound the way it did. It really connected with me and my early experiences of music.
In your opinion, what have been the biggest changes in techno over the years?
The BPMs first and foremost. Back then it was all pretty quick and I loved the energy. Now you can play a tech house record alongside a techno record and it still all makes sense. It's good that music evolves, it keeps things interesting.
Where do you see the scene and sound progressing?
It's always so hard to say. I guess we have been through the more minimal side of things and we have some pretty big, dubby house influences right now, so perhaps the side to techno that I have never stopped supporting, which is the more upbeat side, will be next again.
So what should listeners expect from your new record, All Roads Lead To The Dancefloor?
The album really is a mix of all the things that influence me and that I like about music: it's got funk, soul, drum n bass, tech house, dubbier tracks and, of course, some techno!
Can you tell us about your current DJ setup? Do you still perform using three decks?
I use four now! The whole three deck thing started as a way of being able to remix live on the fly and create a moment in time that might not ever be able to be repeated. With the four I can now loop things up, effect a few channels, EQ some bottom out of something else and bring it all together in one moment. It really does make you feel more creative, and if we are putting more into what we are doing then the people that come to the club will also get more from it.
You regularly play at many of the world's biggest festivals and nightclubs but also at smaller, more intimate venues. Do you have a preference and how do you alter your approach?
I don't really approach either any differently. I still always play every gig as if it were my last. The big stages are something I've been used to from the rave days and it's a great experience, but then there is also something really special about playing music in a small room to a knowledgeable crowd and them going on the journey fully with you.
Is there anywhere left that you would still like to play?!
Haha, there are still a few I would think. We just did a party back in Barbados, where my parents now live, and it was the first time they had seen anything like it. It's doing these things that remind you there are still parts of the world where we can help people to discover our music.
Is there a memorable set that you wish you could relive?
I really enjoyed doing the 10 hour set at Space last year for our 10th year. It took a lot of focus and energy and by the end I was exhausted, but at the time it was amazing to do. To really dig deep into all the music I have and put it all together is something I'm very proud of. Then of course there is also the infamous beginning to the "Three Deck Wizard" name at the Sunrise rave in '88: that single moment will never ever be forgotten!
Year after year you appear on lists as one of the best DJs on the planet. What's your secret?
For me, it always has been, and always will be, just about the music. I've never done this for any other reason. Anything that's happened to me over the years is because I have just had a big passion for playing music and I guess I'm naturally a very positive person and that's that.
You return to Space in Ibiza this summer for another massive residency. What have you got lined up?
This year we have invited back a few names people will have seen before, but are also bringing in some new recruits to help move things forward and keep things fresh. People can expect the usual high-standard sound system and production alongside some good programming in each room, and all for a good price too so they feel welcome.
Finally, which three tracks do you expect to be the biggest of the summer?
I've been hammering a track by Joe Brunning called 'Let Me See You Work' for some time now: it's just massive for me. Then there is my man Jon Rundell's 'Revival' track: it's got a real infectious hook to it that just makes you feel good when you hear it. And then I'd have to say look out for the Ctrl-Z remix of my 'One Nation' track from the album that's coming soon. Huge!

UK National Debt since 1800
Looking at the history of UK national debt, the current levels of government borrowing don't seem anything particularly worrying. At the end of the Second World War, UK national debt topped over 200% of GDP. In the twentieth century, national debt has rarely been below 40% of GDP.
People assume national debt must be a disaster for the long term performance of the economy. But, it is worth remembering that in the 1940s, huge levels of National debt didn't prevent the UK:
- Starting a universal National Health Care Service
- Starting universal welfare benefits
- Providing three decades of strong economic growth
- UK public sector debt is forecast to rise sharply. Ernst & Young ITEM Club, predicted on Saturday that government borrowing would hit £180bn next year (much higher than the government's own prediction of £115bn)
- Also the borrowing figures are complicated by the financial bailouts. Public sector debt figures are liable to soon rise over 100% of GDP, because statistic rules means we must include the liabilities of nationalised banks. However, these liabilities do not require present government borrowing.
- There are also uncertainties about how much more the government will need to spend on the financial bailout. The government has secured many 'bank assets'. It is unclear whether it will need to pay for these.
- There is also a difference between the 1940s and the 2000s. In the 1940s, private sector borrowing was lower. Individuals were willing to do their patriotic duty and buy government war bonds. I doubt there would be the same patriotic fervour to buy 'bonds to save the greedy banks'. The problem today is not just government borrowing, but private sector debt and financial losses.
- The reaction of the markets, particularly in foreign exchange markets has shown that there is growing uncertainty over the UK's ability to borrow.
- However, the UK still has a triple A rating for government borrowing (though that may be downgraded in the future)
- It is a shame and a mistake the government decided to increase public sector borrowing as a % of GDP in the boom years of 2001 - 2006.
However, at the same time, there are reasons to suggest that we couldn't borrow similar amounts now as we did in the early 1950s. See: Biggest lie in UK politics for more on this issue.
UK Bond YieldsBond yields reflect the cost of borrowing. Government bond yields increased in the 1970s because inflation reduced the value of savings such as bonds. Therefore, investors demanded a higher rate of return on investment.
Government Bonds since 1900
Inflating Away Our Debt
A key issue with public sector debt is the rate of inflation. A high inflation rate reduces the real value of debt making it easier to pay off debt. However, high inflation will make people reluctant to buy bonds in the future.

A Vegan Cooking Class in Oaxaca, Mexico. The famous MOLE sauce recipe is now in my grasp!
Oaxaca, Oaxaca. Home to the famous 7 moles. A rich sauce, famed to be thick with chocolate but this is not always, if ever, the case. Some say there are more than 7. Some say it's a myth. I found negro, roja, alhemendra, verde, coloradito at my most favourite covered market in town - 20 de Noviembre. According to Rick Bayless, the ingredients of mole can be grouped into five distinct classes: chiles, sour (tomatillos), sweet (dried fruits and sugar), spices, and thickeners (nuts and tortillas). We made ours without sugar, sweetened only by raisins and plantains. Seriously, it needs nothing else. Especially the flavours need to veer from rumination by chemically, over sweet refined sugar. The best moles I tasted where all without sugar.
My love affair with mole has been sporadic, revisited periodically on my travels, but it's history is long. I think my first taste was at Gracias Madre in San Francisco four years ago. Their vegan mole was poured generously over the corn tortillas I'd seen made by hand in their kitchens. The mole was fiery, and complex. I was due to dash back down the Coast Road to Los Angeles that day. I had greedily ordered three dishes. I wanted to try so many things! I'd taken a 'to go' box on my long drive back down Big Sur. The new flavours were rich and memorable. I vowed to learn how to make it one day. Research informed me it's place of conception was Mexico. I was patient, and waited until the time came to visit. Booking a cooking course was number one on my agenda as I travelled to the home (or disputed between Oaxaca and Puebla) of the legendary mole.
My consistent need to fish out the most authentic experience doesn't
always turn up trumps. But sometimes what it lacks in judgement makes up for in a story. A few emails went back and forth between 4 or 5 of the most well known classes in Oaxaca. Agustin seemed the most 'real' and I was promised an all vegan menu. Which he certainly delivered.
The class was to take place in his home. It was a VERY rustic, three room apartment located above his restaurant. Reached via an iron spiral staircase. Two rather well fed and jolly Americans had signed up for the course also. I witnessed at first hand the Mexican's endearing quality for honesty. Agustin actually mused out loud as to whether they'd make it up the spiral staircase. He used his arms to measure the width of the steel stairs and said 'you'll make it up but not sure about the down'! I became typically English at this point and politely pretended I hadn't heard.
The menu for the day was BLACK MOLE, RED MOLE, ALMOND MOLE, AZTEC SOUP, CHILI RELLANOS & ENCHILADAS. Agustin had a black-board with the ingredients listed, however we were not given any recipe sheets to take home. So some frantic note taking ensued. It was all a bit confusing as he rushed through the many stages of the preparation. And there were many stages. This course is jammed full of recipes. If you are strapped for time or are avoiding fried foods you may want to try the quick RAW recipe for mole I devised back in 2012. Click here
During the day we discovered the difference between the Black Mole and Red Mole. The black traditionally uses roasted chilies. When making the red - Red Mole - you boil the chilies until soft. I think the dry heat of the black mole is what gives it the depth and warming heat. The Negro is the one I'm going to share with you now.
Oaxaca Mole Negro.
Ingredients List
1/2 onion sliced
2 T garlic cloves
8 almonds
10 peanuts
10 pecans
2 T canela (cinnamon)
1 t cloves
1/4 cup raisins
1 T pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
1 T seasame seeds
2 T ginger (dried)
1 t saffron (v.cheap in Mexico)
1 t dried oregano
1 t dried thyme
1 t anis seed
1 t cumin powder
4 avocado leaves (*substitute..see below)
black pepper
1/2 large plantain
bread (sub to be gluten free and use a corn tortilla)
Gently roast (don't burn) on the stove, all but the plantain and tortilla - Now, depending on your level of zeal, you can either grind in a blender or have a workout and use a pestle and mortar.
For the 2nd part of the recipe….
Fry 1 ripe plantain and put in blender with roasted mix and 2 cups water. Now for the fun (if not a little dangerous part) TOTALLY burn the tortilla to a crisp on the stove. PLEASE use all fire precautions. Don't have a window or door open because the flaming tortilla could fly in the breeze! Add to the blender
tomatillas 1/2 cup tomatoes 1 cup - blend
1/2 onion 6 cloves garlic salt. Blend & boil. Add this to the mole mix for a final blending. Now the sauce can be used to pour over enchiladas, as a sauce for chile rellano, in a soup, over tempeh or tofu….the list goes on. Be enterprising with it. If you reduce it down to a paste it can be kept in the fridge for months, or frozen it will last indefinitely.
The cooking class with Agustin may not be for the more refined among you. You may find the cussing, inked (rather un-originally by many) on the walls, a bit offensive. The lack of decent toilet facilities, and the lack lustre kitchen hygiene a little to much to bear. If however you like to have an afternoon of unstructured, light-hearted cooking instruction, and copious amounts of free alcohol then it may just be your bag. Agustin is a nice guy and eager to please. In hindsight though, I wished I'd booked with one of the more 'serious' cooking schools. We are talking about food here, right?! Not to be down graded. BUT my vegan heart was well catered for and I learnt much. So, if I can take these receipes, perfect them and make them my own, then I'm more than happy. All of the dishes were overwhelmingly delicious, even with the mole being tainted with a slightly charred flavour as my cooking companion got a little over zealous with the preliminary roasting.
The dishes are not a five minute fling. They take time. But I love tinkering in the kitchen and building up flavours slowly. It usually means they unfold slowly too. Capturing your tastebuds.
I'll post the Aztec Soup & Soy enchiladas another day. For now, go try the Mole. I guarantee you will be using it in everything. I've made sweet mole and amaranth porridge for breakfast. And used it in countless soups, and my latest is smearing the thick, dark paste over brown rice tortillas. Folding the tortilla in half and half again before greedily tearing at it with my teeth. It transports me to food Utopia every single time.
If you choose to go and purchase some pre-made mole then make sure it doesn't contain animal products. Some add animal stock. Beware.
Post me your mole recipes/stories. As you see, I'm mole mad and I'm keen to learn more!
*there is no real substitute for the slight liquorice flavour of the Mexican avocado leaf. Some say try fennel fronds, others say a mix of basil and anise. Those of you in Mexico and some parts of the US are lucky and will find availability of the leaves. You may be able to find online. If you cannot source the leaves then I'd say try a tbs of basil leaves or 1 tbs of fresh fennel fronds. Or just omit altogether.

OK so this may be a REALLY stupid question. Feel free to laugh at me if you must.
I know the correct reading of blood pressure is taken while sitting up. Mine has been consistenly high in that position (but not alarmingly, mostly only 140s/90s sometimes higher--I've been lucky so far). So my question is, as long as I stay lying down and my blood pressure returns to a much lower reading in that position, am I 'safe' for now? (I understand that if true PE sets in, nothing will keep the BP in check, and thus it becomes a whole new ballgame--hopefully that won't happen this time.)
I'm at 33 weeks and really hoping to make it to 36 for a c-section--we don't want labor or even dilation to start because I also have placenta previa. We also don't want another abruption like last time, which happened at 36 weeks. I guess I'm just wondering if BP-wise I'm in a good position if I stick to lying down all the time, regardless of my sitting up pressures?
(And my I just add I cannot WAIT to be off procardia 4x a day--every single time I take it I get woozy, my heart races for an hour, and my cheeks feel like they are burning with fever.)

What Are Some Good Freezer Foods for a Chemo Patient?
Good Questions
Q: A friend's husband is about to start chemotherapy and I want to stock their freezer with food for them and their two toddlers. The diet restrictions are no chicken or dairy, no beans, and no squash or couscous. Bland foods are also better with the chemo side effects. Any ideas?

I'd make a few things and then actually check in about what foods taste good to your friend's husband. Bland is one thing-- but taste perceptions change a lot with chemo. Sometimes citrus tastes really great and suddenly turkey tastes terrible. Everyone's taste buds are affected differently.
Also, be sure to check in about your friend's husband's ability to handle any foods that aren't smooth / not too crunchy. Mouth sores are very common during chemo and add an extra layer of complexity when figuring out what to make for a patient.
A few things I recommend: A good rich, blood-boosting homemade beef broth, cut and portioned frozen fruits including bananas and avocados for easy dairy-free smoothies, a pureed vegetable soup like tomato or carrot.
Also, if he can't have couscous-- which is pasta-- can he eat other pasta? A question to be sure to clarify if you can.
Good luck and good health to your friend.
Frozen slices of polenta can be reheated in a pan or oven and topped with anything from olive oil and salt (nice and bland) to tomato sauce or even maple syrup (my grandma loved it with maple syrup while she was going through chemo). Lots of pre chopped frozen veggies - you could by these premixed or make your own mixes to suit your friend's preferences. PB&J (or almond butter and nutella) sandwiches freeze really well and can be life savers when there are hungry toddlers who need to be fed. Individual frozen portions of precooked quinoa would be a good protein source for your friend's husband. Similarly, precooked and frozen amaranth is a good source of calcium and is mild enough that it might come in handy if he has trouble stomaching other calcium sources.
My friend's mom went through chemo about ten years ago and one of the things that was really shocking was just how incredibly different the sense of smell becomes - even after just one or two treatments, let alone a month of chemo.
Since smell is so interconnected with taste, it's hard to say what each individual will be able to tolerate.
One thing my friend's mom had real trouble with was a severely burning mouth. This is common with chemo patients and the sensation is akin to a bad hot coffee or tea burn the day after or even if you have ever had one of those cinnamon gum burns on your tongue. Just unpleasant. I remember she really loved eating mild flavored popsicles, so that would be my suggestion for a freezer food.
If you want to help out, it's almost better to take it on a week to week basis. What might be delicious and welcome one week can be literally nauseating the next.
All that said, I REALLY hope your friend's husband makes it through chemo as well as a person can and that he emerges healthy. Good luck to all of you!
Several years ago, I cooked freezer meals for a friend going through chemo and stem cell therapies for over a year. Unequivocally, he requested strong seasonings and a lot of protein. A couple of his favorites were an African spicy lentil stew from the Sundays at Moosewood cookbook and a mustardy meatloaf recipe that I found on Epicurious.
My dad has been on Chemo for about a year, his appetite comes and goes sometimes, but there is nothing he's been told he 'can't' eat with the chemo. However, he's been on a diet through the Broch institute to help fight cancer naturally that is pretty strict, no meat other than fresh water fish, no dairy, no refined flour, no refined sugar. Considering what your friend's restrictions are, I would think lasagna with tofu instead of cheese, casseroles with pasta and lots of veggies, grain salads with veggies and added protein of choice. Anything with lots of omega 3's and antioxidants.
All chemo regimens are different, and everyone reacts differently, so take this for what its worth.
My mother's chemo experience was that on the day of/after treatment, she slept continuously and couldn't wake up enough to eat (we made sure someone stayed with her all the time, for safety). The rest of the time, she could eat normal food, but preferred stronger flavors (she was particularly fond of Indian food - possibly because it wasn't a familiar flavor, so it didn't taste "wrong").
As much as I am in the camp of "everyone in the house eats the same meal", it may be helpful to make some of the kids' favorites for days when he is really out-of-it and your friend has her hands full taking care of him.
For what it is worth (because everyone will react differently), we always had popsicles and granita in the freezer for my father. Any and all natural fruit juices were used. Also we cooked as if we were feeding a toddler, practically no spices, fine purees and simple flavors added to pasta like a butternut squash puree. I hope this helps.
I'm on chemo now and it's true that your tastes do change. I'm finding that strong, but not acidic flavors, such as pesto, really work. I still like tomato-based pasta sauces but find that they irritate my mouth. Ginger tastes great, plus it settles the stomach. I find it's not so much a matter of eating bland as it is avoiding rich foods (makes you queasy) and acidic dishes, but that's just me.
It's very individual and does shift over time, as Fromage said. Check how your friend is doing and what he feels like eating and go from there. If you do want to make things in advance, Baker D's suggestions are good. I'd also consider something like a shepherd's pie or meatloaf. The kids will eat it even if Dad doesn't, so that's one less thing for Mom to worry about.
One of the best meals I've had lately was pork tenderloin stuffed with apples and sage, with sides of brown rice and mixed vegetables. The rice was cooked in broth. Flavorful but not spicy or acidic.
the best meal for me by far was peruvian quinoa stew (there are many recipes on internet) topped with sliced avocados. also buy them fish crackers and candies to suck on. Mouth sores can be huge problem. I also recommend this book: http://www.amazon.com/The-Cancer-Fighting-Kitchen-Nourishing-Big-Flavor/dp/1587613441
Rice freezes pretty well, maybe make a more interesting whole-grain wild rice pilaf? Some mild onions, nuts or ground meat for protein, mushrooms, add some peas and diced carrots for a little more nutrition. Asian-style fried rice too, I bet would work well. Once prepared, one can lay it out on a cookie sheet, and once frozen, can be put in chunks into a freezer bag, and dragged & reheated out as needed. Add a little sprinkle of water when reheating so it stays moister.
I'd also recommend some hearty stews, lots of soft veggies (green beans, corn, stewed tomatoes, potatoes, mushrooms, pea, etc.) with a rich broth, either beef or veggie, and some sort of protein. My parents would do ground beef for an economic meal (and used canned or frozen veggies for ease of preparation), and make some corn muffins for the side. I bet the muffins could freeze well too. Put the stew into smaller one-bowl containers, and it's a pretty good one to re-heat.
Pot pies could also work, either mini or family sized, maybe do them un-baked, so they can have a "fresh" meal. Just don't use cream in the filling/gravy, and cornstarch works better as a thickener (or even condensed soup for a quicker substitution). You can put just about anything in a pot pie, and it'll probably taste great.
Maybe even some baked potatoes could freeze okay as another plain food? Maybe make them twice-baked style with some protein in the fillings.
good luck!
As a patient, I always appreciated people bringing me snackier items. If I didn't like the soup or casserole someone brought due to my side effects, I'd feel bad, but it's always easy to eat something like a muffin or cookie. When you're encouraged to eat all the time, you need snacks around!
Are those food restrictions for medical reasons or just due to preference? Cancer nutrition is all about eating lots of protein while accommodating your side effects. Without chicken, beans, or dairy, he's going to have to get creative about getting a protein into every meal. If your friend can stand to eat some dairy, it's really a great way to get a lot of calorie/protein bang for his buck.
As others have already mentioned, there's a wide range of side effects that can alter a patient's dietary needs. When I had mouth sores, all I wanted was applesauce and Jello. Metallic taste: strong or spicy food. Loss of appetite: buttered toast and string cheese. Having a low white blood cell count comes with a host of restrictions to help avoid bacteria that would normally be harmless.
The American Cancer Society has a great online guide that recommends foods for each side effect: Nutrition for the Person with Cancer
I am really sorry to hear this... when my Mom was going through chemo, it was very difficult for us to watch her, and she couldn't eat a lot of stuffs we made for her..... One thing that worked really well was rich oxtail stew, though. It was easy to freeze and serve.... And, it gave her stamina she needed and was relatively easy for her to swallow.... Good luck! My heart goes out to your friend.
I agree with most of the comments above, everyone is different. My dad's many rounds of chemo haven't affected his eating at all. He woke up from 18 hours sleep, made osso bucco for the slowcooker, took a nap, woke up and made risotto and had dinner! And some days all he has the energy for is going out to lunch with friends.
But think about your friend, She is going to be exhausted and worried and stressed. Make some treats for her, or help with meals for her - she may really like to have some muffins in the freezer she can heat for breakfast, or chicken salad she can eat for lunch while caring for him. And a big batch of simple chicken soup never goes amiss. Give him some time on the chemo and let them adjust. In the meantime, books, magazines, croswword puzzles, movies....
I went through chemo last year and found that the week after a treatment, everything tasted bad except strong flavors. As a result, I always craved pizza, lasagna, and burritos! I always made those dishes when I was feeling well, and had servings of those types of things in the freezer.
So yes, I'd wait and see what sounds good to him before making anything. But it's very cool of you to think of doing this. I went through cancer treatment on my own and ended up cooking for myself most of the time. It was kind of rough.
Beef-based soups could be an option - borscht, for example, especially at this time of year, or barley and beef soup. Or just a really good vegetable soup, which also goes over well with children...
Shepard's pie could also be an option, based on the restrictions you listed - it freezes really well.
Also, any meals the kids will eat - parents can/will snack on whatever comes to hand/suits cravings/works with chemo restrictions/etc, but it would likely be a lot easier for them to do that if the kids are fed/not complaining about it! :)
I'm not sure what to suggest for food, but please make sure to be super, super careful about handling any food a cancer patient will be eating. I'm certain you already realize this but you'd be surprised how many people brought my mom food when she went through chemo, left it sitting out at room temperature when it should've been in the fridge, and then expected her to still eat it. Chemo kills any ability to fight back against a bug, so make sure everything is kept as bacteria-free as possible (i.e., scrub your kitchen down first, keep the kids/pets away, and don't let anything get warm if it shouldn't be).
Best of luck to your friend!
I second what Miss Dewey said. After my sister's last chemo session, she caught an infection from something she ate and had to be rushed to the emergency room. Good thing she's a strong twenty-something woman, and could fight it off, but I shudder to think what it would have been if she was a child or a senior. It's mainly because chemo doesn't differentiate from healthy cells and cancer cells, so your immune system (white blood cells etc.) will be compromised. Also, my sister said she couldn't really taste anything and she just ate to stay alive.
It's a nice gesture to give food to your friend. Cancer is stressful, not just for the patient, but also the caregivers of the patient (i.e. his/her family).
If I remember right- All I could stomach was rice. Any dish that was mostly rice. I was fine with rice congee too. Both freeze well. Mind you, while it went down easy (acidic things didn't as I was full of mouth sores and living on magic mouth); You have to take into account that allot of chemo agents are constipating as well so although, comfort foods might go down easier, Senocot S and Miralax may need to be on the menu.
I'd second the shepards pie.
I've cooked for a few people going through chemo and they were all different, so play it by ear. The commonality was presenting small portions so the diner wouldn't be overwhelmed. Here are some things that went over well with multiple people: I made a beef marrow bone stock (no wine, just marrow bones, beef, onions and carrots) that I froze in ice cube trays so that the stock could be thawed a small portion at a time and drunk like tea or added to other foods for the protein boost. Another client wanted turkey stock with lime juice. I pureed fruits and and dark green leafy veggies and turned them into little ice cubes to be chewed on or sucked on to relieve dry mouth and sore throats. Anything I froze I packaged into small portions, never bigger than a muffin tin.
Thanks for the ideas, suggestions and warnings. The list of not allowed foods is a combination of my friend and her husband's aversions and allergies. The idea of snack foods is one that I had considered and forgot about so I will look at that again
As her husband's caretaker during this time (I'm assuming), don't forget that she needs to eat too! All the other posters are correct: his tastes will vary from other advice you'll get, and his tastes may change during the process.
When acting as my mom's caretaker, we had so many people bring by so many thoughtful dishes and things for both her and my sis and I. The issue we had was the smell of food and the nausea it induced for mom. Every. Single. Time. When we knew someone was going to pop by to bring something, I'd make sure mom was comfortable in her room and then shove a towel under the door.
Then my sister or I would take a portion of whatever for ourselves and put it in the oven and set to work dismantling and portioning out the rest of the meal to cram into the freezer. In one unfortunate case of a white garlic and chicken pizza (which was soooo delicious), I actually had to take the pizza out on the patio outside until it cooled because the smell was so strong, it broke through the "towel barrier."
Mom ended up doing really well with yogurt and sometimes scrambled eggs. It was like pulling teeth to get her through an entire cup of yogurt some days. She mostly preferred having a small plate or tray of things to pick at (a few berries, a couple of cheese cubes, etc.) that could sit on her nightstand in the afternoon. Sis and I got to chow down on all the yummy grub from friends and fam, including about 19,000 of those damned rotisserie chickens. 3 years later, still can't really eat them.
Added: Even though mom couldn't eat much during her treatment, she was AMPED to have a freezer full of 3-4 months of dinners for herself. Once she started back at work she didn't have to think or put effort into lunch/dinner at all. That really helped her get her energy back, once she could eat more normally.
When my late husband was going through chemo, his favorite post-treatment meal was macaroni salad with a mayo-based dressing, canned tuna, and celery. He said it tasted as good as anything did with the changes to how food tasted to him, didn't bother his mouth sores, and - more importantly, he said - didn't bother him too much when it came back up. (sorry if that's TMI, but it's something to consider!)
I sure wish I'd had all of these other great food suggestions to try when he was going thru chemo (the internet was not as helpful back in 1998-2000!). I was young, newly married, still in college, and just learning to be a wife and to cook and to manage a grown-up household! Best of luck to your friends, and kudos to you for being so thoughtful. I second the suggestions of things specially for your friend herself -- as the caregiver, she'll need some extra TLC too, as she's probably not going to be taking good care of herself in the midst of everything else.

The Lancers took the opener 12-1 in five innings and then came back to shut the Sea Warriors out 7-0 in the late game. The two wins help CBU take three of four overall from HPU to kick off the team's Hawaiian road swing.
A day after closing Friday's doubleheader with an 11-run game, the Lancers offensive explosion continued into the team's second day of play against the Sea Warriors as CBU blasted 13 hits to score its 12 runs in the early game.
Sloan McHann once again got the hit parade going, driving in CBU's first run on a single as the Lancers would put up a pair of runs in the opening inning. McHann was 2 for 4 with three RBI to lead the team.
CBU added on four more runs in the second inning and then sealed the deal with a six-run fifth.
Kailey Willingham started the scoring in fifth with a pinch-hit, two-run single and then Marshean August and McHann each smacked two-run doubles to give the Lancers a 12-0 advantage.
HPU's lone run in the bottom of the fifth wasn't enough to prolong the contest.
Belinda Renne took the win, throwing all five innings and giving up just six hits and just one run. Renne moves to 4-1 on the year.
It took all of three innings for the fireworks to start in the late game when Rachel Meyer blasted a three-run homer to put CBU up 3-0. RBI singles from Savannah Miller and Andie Banuelos gave CBU a five-run third inning and a commanding lead.
Two more runs and the right arm of Jessica Avila were all CBU needed from there on out. Avila tossed a six-hit complete game shutout to seal the win and move to 6-4 on the year.
McHann was 2 for 2 in the late game with an RBI to give her six hits and four runs driven in on the day. Meyer was 2 for 4 with three RBI and Miller went 3 for 4 with an RBI in game two.
The doubleheader sweep moves the Lancers to 11-8 overall, 5-5 PacWest and drops the Sea Warriors to 8-8, 1-5.

Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford is reacting to Moody's financial warning of "credit negative" for the state. He says the recent downgrade could cost Illinois taxpayers more money.
This comes after a lack of progress by lawmakers on pension reform for the state.
In their August 23 bulletin, Rutherford states Moody's Investors Service declared "the Illinois legislature's failure to enact pension reforms during last week's special session is 'credit negative' for Illinois (A2 stable)."
Rutherford also says they warned that "inaction on the state's pension liabilities will further strain this lowest-rated US state's finances."
"It looks like Illinois could be heading for another credit downgrade, which will only cost taxpayers more," said Rutherford. "I have continuously warned the General Assembly and the governor that failure to act on the state pension crisis will create more financial problems in this state that is already the lowest-rated credit in the United States. I will continue to urge the General Assembly and the governor to work towards comprehensive reforms that would repair Illinois' fiscal health and ensure the viability of our state retirees' pensions."
The treasurer says that comprehensive, constitutional, and fair pension reforms is what is needed to reverse the trend.
