Growing up, not a holiday dinner or church potluck supper was complete without a casserole dish filled with baked sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows. If you've never seen this dish, let me tell you—it looks disgusting. Perhaps it's because I don't like marshmallows (I don't have much of a sweet tooth. To wit: when we'd go to Luby's, while my family dug into slices of chess pie for dessert, I'd be eating jalapeno cornbread) and seeing this large baking dish filled with a brown and orange oozing substance covered with white dots just never seemed appealing. It looked like really bad 1970's interior design. It wasn't dessert, either--it was considered a savory side. So I grew up thinking that sweet potatoes had to be served with marshmallows, and I never tried them.
But now that I've acquired a more adventurous palate, I've learned that sans marshmallows, sweet potatoes are actually quite versatile and delicious, not to mention extremely healthy: they are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, iron and calcium. A lot of places market them as yams, but the two are not the same. While sweet potatoes are a native American vegetable, yams hail from Africa and Asia. Even more interesting is that while the sweet potato is a distant relative of regular potatoes, its relation to yams is even more removed. So why do people confuse the two? I reckon because they're both orange on the inside.
I saw a ton of sweet potatoes at the market today, and I was thrilled to see some of the varieties on hand—there was one bigger than my head! And there are so many ways you can cook them: you can fry them like French fries, you can bake them in a pie, you can make soup, you can stuff them in dumplings or pasta, you can make sweet potato hash,you can bake bread—basically, anything you can do with a potato you can do with a sweet potato. One of my favorite things to do with them is make a sweet-potato mash flavored with chipotle peppers. It's been a holiday hit with my family for years, so much, in fact, they stopped making the horrible sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Now that's progress! But even better is how healthy this dish is: because sweet potatoes are so naturally moist, you don't need to add any dairy to make the dish creamy—it's just the sweet potatoes and the peppers. Here's the recipe:
Mashed sweet potatoes with chipotle
4 to 6 sweet potatoes
1 can of chipotle peppers in adobo
Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, and place on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake in oven for one and a half hour.
After sweet potatoes have cooled a bit, slice in half, and scoop out orange flesh into a bowl.
Mash with a potato masher (you can even use a fork they'll be so soft)
Open can of chipotles, slice the peppers
Mix cut peppers and adobo sauce with sweet potatoes until smooth and fluffy
Salt to taste
I'm curious: is anyone a fan of the sweet potato-marshmallow casserole? (I'm thinking it must still be a big hit as Whole Foods has its gourmet, artisan marshmallows displayed next to its sweet potatoes. Marshmallows in the produce section? The horror!) What do you make with sweet potatoes?

Sweet potatoes, hold the marshmallows

I may be southern, but yams freak me out... though I've had them on the family table many, many times... just exactly like you.
I always put some on plate and rarely eat it. The nice thing about growing older is that I don't have to shine my plate, unless I want to.
They are nice to grow though. Good vine. Purple. I might grow some this winter.

thanksgiving just isn't thanksgiving in our family unless there's a dish of sweet potatoes with sticky, bubbly marshmallows browned on the top. it's always a kid's job to put the marshmallows on top - this year, it'll be my nephew dylan again who gets the honor of topping the potatoes. i don't love them as much as i did when i was a kid, and i usually scrape most of the marshmallows off now, but i have to have at least one bite, as it always ushers me off, right to my childhood.
we also have at least 2 pumpkin pies (at LEAST) and 2 sweet potato pies - which may look the same, or similar enough to be confused for each other, but are two very different pies with different flavors, and completely different textures. don't make me choose...
- christine (myplateoryours) said...
Now the real way to do the marshamllow thing is to get the little multicolored ones -- pink, blue, etc. They look so gourmet against the orange sweet potatoes, don't you know?
My mom always candied sweets with brown sugar, cinnamon and butter and it wouldn't be the holidays with out them.
I am also very partial to a sweet potato fry, hot and crispy and drizzled with shagbark hickory syrup. Yummm.
- WhiteTrashBBQ said...
mmmmm - Sweet potato french fries!
- Yvo said...
Mm... growing up, my family didn't really do the sweet potato thing. I think we had mostly Asian sides to our giant turkey- I was maybe 12 or 13 before my mom figured out to buy stuffing in a box to make. Don't ask. But I've tried sweet potatoes with the marshmallows over it in various incarnations, hating them, until now, when I go to my boyfriend's aunt's for Christmas... and he insisted the first year that I try the sweet potatoes. Hers are really good, with a bit of marshmallow (I let him take most of it since he likes it more than I do) on top, but other people's are gross. Hers aren't stringy... and not too sweet, just right. But I do like sweet potato fries... and oh! Do you watch the Food Network? Alton Brown JUST did a show on (or it was a repeat) sweet potatoes, explained the difference between sweet potatoes and yams, and he made waffles with sweet potatoes. Then he made mashed sweet potatoes and added chiles, just like you did, though I'm not sure what kind. :) I can't wait for Thanksgiving now =D
- Homesick Texan said...
County Clerk: If you don't eat them, what do you do with the ones you grow?
Melissa: I love sweet potato pie, too, and there's no reason why anyone should have to choose between that or pumpkin (or any other pie). Give me a big slice of each!
Christine: You drove me to Google! I'd never heard of Shagbark Hickory Syrup but it sounds right up my alley. Do you know the producers?
White Trash: Mmmmm, indeed!
Yvo: The only thing I watch on TV is Dexter (which has some of the best food cinematography ever in its opening sequence). I'm not a big fan of Alton Brown or the Food Network, unfortunately--I find cooking shows boring, I don't know why. But, sweet potato waffles sound yummy!
- Stephanie said...
I'm with you, Lisa. No marshmallows!! Boycott them! I like my sweet potatoes made savory, a little nutmeg, cinammon, ricotta cream and sage... I did a post recently with this concept (although it was yams but I intended sweet potatotes) and it was well...scrumptious.
- Danielle said...
Okay, I'll confess. I like sweet potatoes with or without marshmallows.
- vlb5757 said...
I have never met a potato I haven't like in any way it's fixed. Candied Yams (or Sweet Potatoes as they are called at home)is one of my youngest son's favorite things about the holiday dinners. I fix it four times a year, New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have to do 10 pounds of potatoes. One dish for the table and one for later so he can just eat that. Cracks me up!
- bea at La Tartine Gourmande said...
So weird, within a week, this is the second time I hear about this association. I had never before. Would have a hard time getting into it though I think as I do not like marshmallows, but who knows!
- The County Clerk said...
Ha! I don't eat ANYTHING I grow. I do not prepare food, I order it.
This is sad I know. But this is the way it is.
In my kitchen there are all kinds of kitchen things but I've only taken 1 plate (for sandwiches), 1 bowl (for cereal) and 1 spoon (again) out of the china boxes. Turns out, I used the plate and bowl for sorting fall bulbs. I use the spoon as a screwdriver sometimes. I am ashamed to tell you where I take my meals... every day. I sit at a counter while some very peculiar people treat me with WAY TOO MUCH familiarity. This is life.
I gave away HUNDREDS of heirloom tomatoes and SCORES of heirloom corn earns this summer. The horses ate the pumpkins. The herbs? I just like to touch them and then smell my hands. Broccoli? That's just for watchin'
I DID put a few strawberries and apples in my mouth (and brought some corn to a neighbor's grill so I had some of that).
Also... I seem to READ ABOUT food a good deal. :)
- Chicken Fried Gourmet said...
I love sweet potatoes and one of things I recently started making is sweet potato grits. Go here to check it out http://chickenfriedgourmet.typepad.com/chickenfriedgourmet/2006/10/this_weekend_we.html
I have another post with some more in depth preperation coming up.
- Homesick Texan said...
Stephanie--Sage is one of my favorite herbs but I've never tried it with sweet potatoes. Hmmmmm!
Danielle--for such a self-professed picky eater, you always surprise me!
Vlb5757--How cute you make an extra dish just for your son!
Bea--If you don't like marshmallows, you definitely won't like them with sweet potatoes. This dish is American to the core--like peanut butter and jelly--and I seriously doubt it's ever been seen in France.
County Clerk--Too bad you're not my neighbor.
Chicken Fried Gourmet--Wow! Grits and sweet potatoes, very Southern! Thanks for sharing.
- suburban housefrau said...
I converted my family from the sweet potato casserole to spicy oven fries a few years ago. They are way better and healthier too. EVOO, salt, pepper, chili powder, some other spices...yum! (from a Martha recipe)
- Ivonne said...
I've never understood adding marshmallows to sweet potatoes. Great post!
- Anne said...
Are you kidding me.... Marshmallows on Sweet Potatoes are awesome. Maybe you are using the wrong kind of marshmallow. Try one of these they are outstanding: www.mannamallows.com
- Homesick Houstonian said...
Wow, You love whole foods. I've worked there so long, I forgot orange mashed "yams" isn't everyone's normal recipe. My first Thanksgiving working at Whole Foods, I tried the Orange Mashed Yams and loved them so much I've made them at my house every Thanksgiving. (the recipe is in the whole foods market cookbook, nothing left out). My sister's husband even wanted to plop them into a pie shell and put whipped cream on top.
I also love to bake off a sweet potato, cut it in medallions and use it to make a quesadilla with green chiles and jack cheese. Yum!
- Anonymous said...
I recently purchased some undipped vanilla artisan marshmallows from a company named Tuccelli. I used the mallows in my sweet potato casarole for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it.
- Splendid said...
i make sweet potatoes for thanksgiving with pineapples and marshmallows. My secret ingredient is 3 or 4 shots of B&B. It is the most requested food on the table.
try it you'll like it.
- Anonymous said...
It is sweet potato time, indeed. As a kid my mom did carmalized brown suger. I loved it! Now I buy them when on sale and eat them as much as possible; but I only bake until soft. Then the skin comes off very easily. Maybe a bit of butter, or not and a touch of salt and pepper. I agree that marshmellows never seemed right on them.
- Zachary Horwitz said...
I made this tonight for my girlfriend and I - wow, I did like it a lot. It was my first experience working with canned chipotle peppers. I liked the taste for sure, as I like spicy foods but it was pretty hot, surprisingly so. My girlfriend had difficulty with it and I used half a can so I cant imagine using an entire can but I liked the recipe a lot. This is also the first of your recipes that I have cooked so I am excited to try more. Thanks a lot
- Big R said...
Wow, glad to see I'm not the only candied, marshmallowed yam/sweet potato avoider!
Sweet potatoes and chipotle together are sublime, I been making this for Thanksgiving for years and always get comments. In Malaysia we have a dish called Lhaksa which is a coconut milk based curry soup which is spicy and good...(although they put cockles in it) and I have been thinking coconut milk and chipotles would meld well too!
- Agata said...
Whole wheat empanadas stuffed with baked sweet potatoes (sauteed with spinach, onions and mushrooms, with goat cheese) YUM!!! http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t310/irrevocabilis/Food/IMG_2315.jpg

Most delicious way to enjoy sweet potatoes:
Sweet potato bread.
- CrisNeum said...
HAHA I thought i was the only Southerner that hates sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Luckily my mom made mashies with them often enough i knew how amazing they were sans sugar cloud puffs.
I would also like to say that i recently discovered your blog and I love it! I am not however homesick for Texas for I am still here :) Looking forward to trying your recipes though, your tortilla recipe is next on my list.
- Sun2Dance said...
My southern grandmother used to make a mashed sweet potato mixture. Mix 2 eggs, tsp vanilla, 1/2 stick butter, 1 c. coconut, some raisins and chopped pecans. Blend, bake in a casserole dish w/topping: brown sugar, pecans, and butter. Yummmm
- rw said...
No marshmallows on my sweet potatoes and I was born in Texas. I'm more of a purist. I bake the potatoes, skin them, but them up and put them in a casserole dish. I make a syrup of brown sugar, butter and water and poor of the top and bake in the oven. They are wonderful. Marshmallows just take away from the wonderful taste of the sweet potato!
- Anonymous said...
I'm a sweet potato purist... Keep those nasty marshmallows far from them! I love them just baked with a little butter on them, or fried and sprinkled with a bit of salt. Sweet potato pie is one of God's perfect foods, and I have converted many a Yankee to sweet potato lovers after one taste of my grandmothers pie recipe.
- Barbara said...
Thank goodness you are helping to stamp out that nasty habit of putting marshmallows on otherwise perfectly good sweet potatoes. I'm partial to the sweet potato casserole with the crunchy topping of pecans and more sugar. I also like them sliced and baked with just butter and sugar. Leftovers are crazy good just lightly fried in a little more butter. There's no such thing as too much butter, but marshmallows are a travesty. My dad liked them, so one time only, I made them by cooking the sweet potatoes, pureeing them while hot with marshmallows and butter, allowing them to chill, them making croquettes of them, coating with crushed corn flakes and deep frying them. Not bad at all, actually. My dad thought I was a genius. I was pleased, as that was part of his last Christmas meal.
- Josie said...
So, I know this is a really old post, but I have to comment anyway. I remember the marshmallow topped casserole showing up at some potlucks at one church I went to, but my family hated that one. The most common sweet potato casserole I ever saw at all the other potlucks and at my own family's holiday meals was topped with a crumbly pecan and brown sugar mixture. It was more like dessert than a side for turkey, but tasted amazing with cranberry sauce and gravy. How is the marshmallow thing at all popular?

The Bone Collector series is smaller diameter, slightly heavier shaft than the standard Beman ICS Hunter
Since you're looking at Cabela's and if you want another option or want to save a few $$ for now, might check out the Cabela's Stalker Extreme 55/75 or Carbon hunter 55/75.
The Stalker Extreme is basically a Beman ICS Hunter with the Cabela's logo and standard Easton/Beman insert instead of the ViBrake the Beman ICS uses now.
Friend of mine shoots them and does well at 3D shoots, plus took a mule doe two years ago and a 5x5 bull elk last season.
The Carbon Hunter, which my son has for his bow, matches the Beman ICS Bowhunter

I stand corrected. This is actually the first Bone Collector item that isn't just a sticker and a name change. I even called Easton/Beman and she laughed and said, yes, this one is more than a sticker change.
The BC is part of the MFX line.

i realized you have already purchesed your arrows, but i have a comment about the bone collector arrows. i just started in archery 2 years ago and have bought several half dozens of arrows.(due to breaking or losing) i bought the bone collectors with the H.I.T. inserts last year in aug. i shot them almost every day, but if i messed up a shot or missed the target and the arrow hit the ground it almost always broke. the insert is inside the arrow (H.I.T.), so if you hit something hard it jams the tip into the shaft. i also bought the ics hunters and i could consistently put them in the ground and they wouldnt break!!! for the money i paid for the bone collectors i wasnt happy. just my 2cents

U.S. ag wary as Monsanto heads to Supreme Court
The soybean crop turned out so good that Bowman saved some of the seed generated by the plants and sowed them the following year for another late crop. He repeated the process year after year, sometimes supplementing his second planting with more commodity grain he used as seed. All the while he continued to buy first-generation seed each year for his main crop of beans. For those purchases, he signed required "technology agreements" pledging not to save the offspring of those seeds.
Monsanto began investigating Bowman's planting activities in 2006 and asserted that even though he was not saving seed from the progeny of the first-generation seeds he bought, his use of commodity grain and the progeny was a patent violation.
Bowman argued that Monsanto's rights to the seeds he purchased from the grain elevator were exhausted because they were not the first generation seeds other farmers had purchased and planted, but rather a mix of later generation progeny.
"It didn't occur to my mind that this would be a problem," said Bowman, who doesn't have a computer at home so he goes to the library to read about his case on the Internet. "Farmers have always been allowed to go buy elevator grain and use for seed. You have no idea what kind of seed you're buying at an elevator. They claim I'm making a new seed by planting it. But that's far-fetched reasoning."
Bowman said he just wanted cheaper seeds. His legal brief states the technology fees for Roundup Ready soybeans have risen to $17.50 per bag by 2009 from about $4.50 in 1996.
Big Stakes for Both Sides
A lower court ruled in favor of Monsanto, and in May 2010 it ordered Bowman to pay the company $84,456. The Federal Circuit Court of Appeals also sided with Monsanto in September 2011.
The Supreme Court's decision to hear the case has raised the hopes of those backing Bowman.
In one of a dozen briefs filed in his support, farmer, environmental and food safety groups claim the courts have carved out an exception to existing patent law that gives biotech companies too much control. They want the Supreme Court to broaden farmers' abilities to use seed, not restrict them.
"Through a patenting system that favors the rights of corporations over the rights of farmers and citizens, our food and farming system is being held hostage by a handful of companies," said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director of the Center for Food Safety, one of the groups supporting Bowman. "Nothing less than the future of food is at stake."

The world needs more food? Have you went to the grocery store lately? We are the most overfed, over weight, under nourished Nation in the world. The world does not need more food it needs better quality food. But when everyone is focused on yield versus quality we end up more focused on pesticide traits, which have nothing to do with food quality, in fact food quality got left out of the beans so that the herbicide trait could be put in, which is partially why they are more susceptible to disease like white mold. We may need to start over with soil quality being the basis for food quality versus the legal battle that appears to be taking place with groups that are more interested in share holder returns than food or anyone's health.
You have not been to many foreign countries that have difficulty feeding the masses. Not saying the genetics is right, but your point about we have enough food I disagree with. I have visited these countries in recent months, and some are really hurting.
I will bet a dollar to a donut that Dermot Hayes--the Iowa State professor---is also a paid consultant to Monsanto. There is no hope of Justice here! John Ashcroft Ex Attorney General in the infamous "Bush Regime" was ex General Counsel to Monsanto. IT IS ALL FIXED WITH THE CORRUPT CONGRESS !! In my opinion--Monsanto DOES plan to control the Food Supply. ONLY IN AMERICA !!!????
As long as Mr. Bowman didn't spray his "junk seed" with glyphosate, I agree with him. If he did, Monsanto has every right to their fees. This may have a huge impact on global food production in the future. Conspiracy thoeorists and tree huggers have no business concerning themselves with this...it's too important.
The control that Monsanto has over the farming industry is an outrage!!! They are the big bully with all the money therefore they think they can push around the small farmers that doesn't want to grow their poisonous seed, because they can't afford to fight them. Growing GMO crops is not helping us feed the multitudes, it's poisoning all of us!!!!!!
He broke the law and knew exactly what he was doing. Monsanto has spent millions of $'s developing this seed and yes, it helps their bottom line. It has also made a lot of money for Ag suppliers and most of all farmers. What is the incentive for companies to do research and development if every Joe Blow can by-pass the patent for a self-serving purpose. Should we go back to self-pollenating corn vs. hybrids that have been bred over time? I completely disagree with Cindy! GMO's are the going thing and should be. Food is scarce world-wide and it is getting worse every day. Food production is not keeping up with population growth. I wish there was GM cows that could survive a drought!
Comments like Cindy's " it's poisioning all of us!!!!!" infers that the FEAR of what you don't know is worse than a GMO. Educate yourself in the value of genetics and a much improved and progressive agriculture. We have a job to do with managing pests and producing food and fiber. It is too bad that this good science got labeled as an "organisim", it would have been better for us all if they had gone with ....say geneticallly modified benefit. I like roundup ready, and I like BT and the other benefits of pest management that the Ag industry has brought forward for our future in production agriculture.
Trevor, are you trying to start a rumor? Just google the guy, he's an econmics prof at ISU. His bio is online, and he has no ties to Monsanto. He DOES have access to a lot of research, research that says unless somebody gets creative, we're going to have a food shortage in about 35 years. Because of America's productivity, and food availabiltity, we are blinded to the problem. A statistic from last week's news says 6% of the average American household budget goes toward food. The next closest country on the list was France where they spend an average of 14% on food.
Well said,Bill!This whole event has more to it than is being told.If intellectual property can be stolen and legally supported then the future of food production will be quite bleak.
I live in one of those countries that a huge food deficit and still believe the problem is land tenure with millions of acres of arable left idle in the hand of people in leadership and position of influence while most of the peasant farmers carry out their activities in marginal land with little or no husbandry or subsidies . if farmers in americas and Europe can get subsidies what about Third World ones still reeling form the effects of colonial displacements and the deprivation arising from dictatorships! multi Nationals developing GM seeds will only create more poverty and economic slaves.
I think the figures are that we currently grow enough food in the world to feed 125% of the world, but 15% of the world starves. Its not about growing a bigger volume of food it is more about the distribution of the money. Don't disagree with what you saw in you visit, but we really need to get at the real causes of the problem.
If I understand Monsanto. They produced a seed. If you buy their seed I imagine you have to sign a contract or something to Monsanto. If Monsanto seed inadvertantly gets into a crop seeded in the original way, not Monsanto seed, the farmer can be sued for using the Monsanto seed? We have seen crops growing where they have become infected with the Monsanto seed through no choice of that farmer. In fact the farmer is not using the Monsanto seed because he doesn't want to. So that farmer can be sued by Monsanto because he is using Monsanto seed? It is ridiculous. Can the farmer then sue the person using Monsanto seed or the person who threw the seed into his crop? If Monsanto seed is so wonderful then people will buy it and use it. If people choose not to use it they won't buy it or use it but that doesn't stop people who infect the crops with Monsanto seed. Does Monsanto seed LOOK different from other seed? Is it stained red or something so it can be spotted and disposed of because the farmer could get pounced on by Monsanto? This can go on and on and get even more ridiculous. I am so tired of Monsanto. They have created so many other problems with their "brilliance". I can only imagine how many more problems created by them and their seeds. I wish they would just market a product like anyone else and get off the farmers case if they don't want to use it.
Good for you Bill, you like it then use it. Cindy doesn't and deserves her opinion. How do the people who don't want to eat a GMO product know that is what they are buying? Is it noted on the packaging "This is a GMO product" or "this product was produced with Monsanto seed" Don't think so. It is hidden from the end user who just may not like it as much as you do like it. The comment earlier said about a genetically modified cow just made me cringe. It is not even funny. Again, how would the end user know the meat from that cow is genetically modified? You may think that people who do not believe in GMO anything are ignorant. They are not ignorant, they just believe differently than you. I think that not identifying products that are GMO is dishonest and misleads the end user.
Will monsanto own or have rights to all of the seeds due to contamination from their gm seeds pollen blowing in the wind?
Monsanto gives its property away for failing to stop cross pollination with other farmers seeds.

text: What an awesome idea!!! My thought is what about Bond and an overnight at Guyot campsite and back out on Sun. Staying at Guyot would allow the group to just get to Bond and really sit and soak in the full reason of why there are 48 flags flying from each summit. No reason to rush off the summit on Flag day. You could see many flags flying when sitting on Bond. If the forum hike is put together count me in no matter what summit is decided on.

SECTION I - History
SECTION I1 - Recomnended Programs
SECTION I11 - Recommended Funding
SECTION IV - Suggestions for Expenditures
The history of oil pricing in the United States is a story of price
controls, partial deregulation and, finally, deregulation. Until the
oil embargo of 1973 shocked the nation, oil had federal price controls
which kept the cost of gasoline and heating fuel low. After the
embarao. the federal aovernment wanted to Promote new domestic oil
supplies, so it began % limited decontrol for new exploration. From
this came the expressions "new oil," for newly developed oil sources
and "old oil,". for previously developed oil fiel-ds. In 1981,
President Reagan decontrolled all oil prices.
During the period of limited price controls, oil companies had dif-ficulty
accounting for new and old oil supplies. Consequently, the
Justice Department uncovered a number of instances of oil price
overcharges and began legal actions which resulted in petroleum viola-tion
settlements and court cases. Billions of dollars of overcharges
have been identified and pursued. Chevron Oil Corporation settled out
of Court in 1981 and Arizona received $857,200 in restitution funds.
In December, 1982, Senator John Warner led Congressional debate which
authorized $200 million be returned to the states for restitution.
Arizona received $1.98 million for the five eligible progra.ms
designated by Senator Warner's amendment to the budget reconciliation
act. The Warner amendment required that the funds "supplement, not
supplant" existing funding and it prohibited expenditure of funds on
administration. Congress specified that the Governor utilize these
funds as if they were one of the following energy-related programs:
* State Energy Conservation Program
* Energy Extension Service
* Institutional Conservation Program
* Low-Income Weatherization Assistance Program
* Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program
In Arizona, the first four of these are administered by the Arizona
Energy Office of the Department of Commerce and the fifth by the
Department of Economic Security.
Exxon Restitution Fund
The Exxon Corporation was accused by the federal government of over-charging
customers for oil from the Hawkins Field in West Texas during
the period 1975-81. Judge Thomas Flannery ruled that Exxon did
overcharge its customers and ordered it to return $2.1 billion in
overcharges and accrued interest. The Judge determined that it was
virtually impossible to compensate individual drivers who were over-charged
and that the most equitable form of restitution was to follow
the Warner Amendment provisions. In February, 1986, the Supreme Court
upheld Judge Flanr~ery's opinion and Exxon deposited the funds in the
U.S. Treasury. Arizona received an electronic transfer of funds for
$21.6 million as its share of the settlement based on petroleum con-sumption
during the overcharge period. The funds were deposited in a
special trust account, the Exxon Restitution Fund, in the state
Treasurer's Office.
When the Secretary of Energy, John Herrington, notified Arizona of its
share of funds, Governor Bruce Babbitt signed a required form stating
the funds would be used in accordance with the Warner Amendment frame-work
and that Arizona would report back to the Court at the end of a
year with a plan of expenditures. Governor Babbitt then began a pro-cess
to determine the best ways to utilize the funds within the five
eligible energy-related programs.
Exxon Review Committee
The Governor appointed an independent, citizens review panel to pre-pare
recommendations for investing Exxon Restitution Funds. The com-mittee
was composed of members who had no vested interests and did not
represent any groups or constituents who would benefit from the funds.
Rather, the committee was charged with the larger task of representing
the best interests of the state and was asked by the Governor to look
for those things that could have the largest long-term benefit to the
state and the greatest energy savings impact.
The Exxon Review Committee met four times over a period of eight weeks
and received comments from over one hundred individuals and organiza-tions.
The committee examined how other states are investing their
funds, the rules and regulations of the court-ordered programs, and
innovative opportunities. After a thorough review of options, the
committee recommended funding for a package of programs that is incor-porated
in this report.
In addition to broad categories for funding, the committee made the
following recommendations:
* Wherever possible, funds should be placed in trust accounts
or revolving loan arrangements to increase the impact and
benefits from the funds.
* All expenditures should undergo a thorough evaluation for
effectiveness and, if warranted, be altered or cancelled.
* Programs recommended for funding over several years should be
seen through to completion.
Recommended Programs
1. Low-Income Energy Programs
Weatherization - The typical home requires $500 - $1600 to improve its
energy efficiency. There are approximately 80,000 homes eligible for
the U.S. Department of Energy Low-Income Weatherization Assistance
program. With four million dollars invested over five years, up to
6,000 households would benefit from reduced energy consumption.
Training should be emphasized to assure effective instal lation and to
improve the skills of weatherization crews. Continuous evaluation
should be conducted and, at least annually, the program should be
thoroughly reviewed for effectiveness.
Partnership Programs - Partnership programs have been established to
leverage existing funds with other money for greater impact. The
Seniors Helping Seniors Energy Savings Program is an example of the
Energy Office and Southwest Gas working together to install low-cost
energy savings devices in the homes of eligible senior citizens.
Arizona Public Service will match dollar-for-dollar in a Neighbors
Helping Neighbors program and Murphy Engineering is developing com-munity
match for Project RENEW. These programs are prototypes of
additional partnerships that can be developed through a Request for
Proposals process to reduce energy waste in homes. In addition, a new
Community Energy Partnerships is being formed as a. non-prof it foun-dation
to provide a stable source of funds for low.-income energy con-servation
programs. In addition to oil overcharges, it would be
funded from a variety of sources and offer services after a com-petitive
proposals process.
Innovative Programs - The current federal rules and regulations for
Weatherization Assistance do not allow for some measures that can be
most effective in Arizona. There are new energy saving devices and
techniques that need to be explored in demonstrations or pilot
programs. A Request for Proposals process and direct technical serv-ices
would create alternatives to overcome these problems and would
attract original, creative programs targeted for Arizona's climate,
lifestyle and housing stock.
Low-Income Energy Assistance - The Department of Economic Security admin-isters
these income transfer funds that provide utility bill
payments, energy emergency assistance and weatherization. Funds
should be used principally for emergency crisis intervention programs
to assist the homeless, provide a revolving fund for utility deposits,
assure no shut-offs for disabled or elderly people, and weatherize
homes. The remaining funds should be distributed in a way to benefit
rural counties since current rules provide substantial funds for the
two urban counties.
2. Energy-Related Air Quality Proqrams
Tune-Ups for Low-Income People - Low-income people a-ffected by the new
emissions law need assistance to tune-up their cars which inay fail
emissions tests. It is estimated $1,200,000 could help approximately
10,000 vehicles to reduce energy waste and pollution. A program
must be designed and then delivered in both Maricopa and Pima
Counties. The Energy Office will provide services and issue a Request
for Proposals to implement the program.
Technical Assistance - Much of the success in the air qua1 ity effort will
come from technical improvements in traffic flow, traffic light
synchronization, alternate commuting modes and tune-up training.
Direct technical services to cities, counties and other groups and
Requests for Proposals can produce needed benefits.
Corporate Incentives - The committee strongly recommends design and imple-mentation
of incentives recommended by the Governor's Urban Air Quality
Task Force to help large employers promote air quality strategies. The
participating companies would receive a rideshare match computer ter-minal,
forms and promotional material. Fifty of the 1 argest employers
in Phoenix and Tucson would participate to help achieve the goal of
doubling ridesharing commuters to twenty percent of area commuters.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) - Conversion of 100 state vehicles to CNG can
demonstrate the value and reduce carbon monoxide emissions to one-half
of one percent of gasoline engines. An analysis of the cost-effectiveness
of this and other alternate fuels will be conducted.
After the program has operated for one year, a complete report with
recommendations for other fleet vehicles should be prepared.
Education and Awareness Programs - If progress is to be made in future
years, the motoring public and students in grades 1-12 should receive
information about ways to reduce energy waste and to mitigate air
pollution. Pub1 ic information, classroom materials and teachers
training will be funded.
Bicycling Demonstrations and Incentives - Commuter bicycling can reduce
automobile traffic, energy use and fuel emissions. A study should
identify possible routes as they relate to large employment sites. In
addition, large employers should receive incentives to install showers
and lockers, pub1 ic transit should demonstrate support with bike racks
on buses and at stops, and signs should be installed to promote bike
3. Schools and Hospitals Conservation
There are 300 school districts with eligible buildings and dozens of hospi-tals
that qualify for matching funds to conduct engineering studies and
install energy savings measures. Emphasis should be given to providing
energy audits and technical assistance to institutions, particularly
those in economic hardship areas. The typical grant repays itself from
energy savings i n t h r e e o r four years. Thus schools can devote l i m i t e d
funds t o education excellence and hospitals to health care r a t h e r than
energy costs. Funds w i l l be provided t o supplement the e x i s t i n g
I n s t i t u t i o n a l Conservation Program.
4. Energy E f f i c i e n t B u i l d i n g Progra-ms
Residential Energy Incentives - Improving the energy e f f i c i e n c y of homes
from present l e v e l s of a i r - c o n d i t i o n e r e f f i c i e n c y t o what i s avail able
on the market could save $3.6 b i l l ion i n unneeded e l e c t r i c generation
construction and save 1,440 megawatts (more than Pa10 Verde u n i t one
-and our Hoover Dam hydropower a l l o c a t i o n ) . Other innovative s t r a t e g i e s
should be explored with homebuilders, lenders and the b u i l d i n g industry
t o increase the energy e f f i c i e n c y o f new homes.
Revolving Loan Fund - A revolving loan fund could provide a l z s t i n g legacy
t o improve energy savings i n r e s i d e n t i a l , commercial and i n d u s t r i a l
buildings. There i s some question whether the Department of Energy
w i l l approve revolving loan funds for r e s i d e n t i a l r e t r o f i t . However,
the committee recommends t h a t revolving loan funds should be ,imple-mented
if at a l l possible. Loans would help overcome the problem of
i n i t i a l cost, which i s the s i n g l e l a r g e s t b a r r i e r t o i n s t a l l a t i o n o f
energy conservation measures.
S t a t e B u i l d i n g s - An energy audit completed by our o f f i c e i d e n t i f i e d
measures t o save hundreds o f thousands of d o l l a r s i n c a p i t o l complex
f a c i l i t i e s . There are a d d i t i o n a l c o s t - e f f e c t i v e demonstrations and
innovations which can save s u b s t a n t i a l amounts of money on energy costs
i n state buildings.
5. Energy Innovation and Demonstration Grants
One of the most successful programs from e a r l y o i l overcharges was the
innovation and demonstration grant program. Schools, l o c a l govern-ments,
energy organizations, small businesses and other energy users
can b e n e f i t from funds made avai 1 able through several sequenced cycles
o f Requests f o r Proposals t h a t screen energy impact and encourage o r i -
g i n a l i t y . Projects with energy saving o p p o r t u n i t i e s might include
cogeneration, t r a i n i n g programs, s t r e e t 1 i g h t conversion and other 1 i g h t
p o l l u t i o n strategies, a g r i c u l t u r e programs, community energy programs,
feasi b i l i t y studies, economic analyses, energy data, demonstrations,
workshops and other energy savings strategies.
6. Solar Economic Development Programs
Solar energy represents a s i g n i f i c a n t opportunity f o r Arizona's economy and
energy future. The committee s t r o n g l y supports e f f o r t s t o promote the
photovoltaic i n d u s t r y b u t it had only one p h o t o v o l t a i c proposal sub-mitted:
a plan t o b u i l d a photovoltaic-powered central e l e c t r i c
generating s t a t ion at the Ocot i 1 l o o i 1-f i r e d plant operated by Arizona
Pub1 i c Service. The committee would p r e f e r t h a t a greater v a r i e t y of
options be sought by the Energy O f f i c e . A Request f o r Proposals should
seek a l t e r n a t i v e proposals, e s p e c i a l l y those with an emphasis on
energy-related economic development opportunities. I n a d d i t i o n , t h e
committee recommends proposals be sought for innovations such as
funding for p r e l iminary planning and design f o r t h e Solar Oasis p r o j e c t
t h a t has been proposed for downtown Phoenix.
7. Indian Programs
The Navajo Nation has sought and obtained from DOE s p e c i a l s t a t u s since it
crosses state borders. An agreement has been reached t o provide funds
based on the population o f the Navajo Nation as a percentage of
Arizona's population. Other Indian t r i b e s are e l i g i b l e f o r energy
programs and services provided through the f i v e e l i g i b l e energy-related
Additional Recommendat ions
The committee emphasizes i t s desire t o see funds placed i n t r u s t accounts or
revolving loan funds where possible. The long-term value of the program would
be enhanced by such arrangements. The committee recommends t h a t a l l expen-d
i t u r e s be screened for energy savings impact or through a Request f o r Proposals
process. During the course of program d e l i v e r y and at the end o f each year,
programs should be reviewed f o r effectiveness and a l t e r e d or cancel led if
warranted. The cammittee s t r o n g l y recommends t h a t assurances be given service
providers t h a t programs recommended f o r funding over several years w i l l be seen
through t o completion. The committee offers i t s assistance t o serve as a con-t
i n u i n g source of review and comment t o help assure e f f e c t i v e u t i l i z a t i o n o f
these r e s t i t u t i o n funds.

Northern Arizona Universitv - Steve Chambers, Manasement Research Analvst
The State Energy Conservation Program and the Institutional Conservation
Program (ICP) are the most beneficial to the State universities. State
universities have benefited tremendously from energy audits and conservation
measures funded by the ICP. Mr. Chambers also suggests a reduction in the
matching funds required to give NAU more flexibility and that added weight be
given to areas with harsh climates when distributing the funds.

U of A, Collese of Aqriculture, Coo~erative Extension Service
Use Exxon funds to develop an extensive extension education program di rected
at energy conservation through improved pumping plant and irrigation
efficiency. Farmers could reduce their cost of irrigation from 20 to 50
Enai neeri nq Economics, Inc. , Go1 den Col orado
All program proposals should be evaluated by two criteria - leveraging and
overall energy impact. Leveraging through the use of cost share programs,
etc. should provide a 3 or 4 to 1 end result for each dollar spent.
Kino Communitv Hos~ital
The Kino Community Hospital has become an active participant in the
Institutional Conservation Program and requests that it be kept informed on
the avai 1 abi 1 i ty of any funding . The technical assi stance energy conservation
study of the institution recommended investing more than $420,000 in order to
achieve significant energy consumption savings.

You don't always have to hit the gym to get a good workout. In fact, there are numerous activities we do every day that help us lead more active lifestyles. Check out these 10 easy ways to burn 100 calories that don't require traditional working out. Plus, do three of these activities in a day and you will burn as many calories you would on a three-mile run.
Cooking for 40 minutes
Simply getting dinner ready burns 100 calories in 40 minutes. All that chopping, slicing and sautéing, plus moving around the kitchen, then setting the table and serving dinner is surprisingly active. In fact, making a huge meal like Thanksgiving dinner can burn close to 700 calories for the day.
Yoga for 20 minutes
With the weather getting nicer, it's the ideal time to bring your yoga mat outside and practice a few poses for 20 minutes. You can also pop in a workout DVD or find free yoga workouts online to get a great calorie burn without leaving your living room. A 20-minute session not only burn 100 calories, it also tones your arms, legs and core.
Washing the car for 20 minutes
How does this sound - get your chores done, rev up your heart rate and burn calories all at once. Not bad, right? Grab a bucket and sponge, start scrubbing the car and 20 minutes later you will have burned 100 calories. Bonus points if you have to hurry up and get the car washed before you run out of quarters!
Gardening for 18 minutes
Spring is right around the corner, so it's the perfect time to get outside and spruce up the garden. Gardening for 18 minutes burns 100 calories, and all the squatting and digging also works the legs and arms. It's one of the best ways to get some exercise on a sunny afternoon.
Walking the dog for 25 minutes.
There is a reason studies have concluded that people with dogs tend to be healthier than people without pets. Taking your dog for a walk every day promotes an active lifestyle, and a leisurely 25-minute walk burns 100 calories.
Dancing for 20 minutes
We all know that feeling when our favorite song comes on - feet start tapping, shoulders start swaying and pretty soon you can't help but start movin' and groovin'. Grab your iPod or music player, turn on your favorite playlist and dance around your living room for 20 minutes. Not only will you burn 100 calories, but listening to music has also been shown to lift your mood and reduce anxiety.
Walking stairs 11 minutes
Total 11 minutes of walking up stairs and you will have burned 100 calories. Choose the stairs instead of the elevator at work, take a few extra trips upstairs at home or discover one of Seattle's 650 staircases. Yes, 650. Did you know Seattle is filled with staircases and you can even take guided staircase tour of the city?
Shopping for 20 minutes
What is better than combining exercise with a little fun? Hit the shops for 38 minutes and you will burn 100 calories. That means grocery shopping, your Costco run and the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale all count as active outings.
Power Walk for 15 minutes
Grab a friend or the kids and head out for a quick power walk around the block before dinner. Fifteen minutes later you will have burned 100 calories. The 15-minute power walk is ideal to fit in during you lunch break at work, or on the weekends. Since you can chat at the same time, power walking is a great way to catch up with friends and family.
Cleaning 25 minutes
Vacuuming, making the bed and folding the clothes are household chores we do every day, and they are also great calories burners. Cleaning burns 100 calories in 25 minutes. Add listening to your favorite music at the same time and you get an extra mood and calorie-burning boost.

Hilarious, cut up and re-editing of speech. Best known for their CassetteBoy vs. The Apprentice but there is some classic audio only stuff too.
Some writers create page-turners; masters of narrative and plot that compel you to keep on reading. In some ways Joan Didion is the opposite, although her writing is no less compelling. When reading her work, its brilliance stops me dead over and over again, such is her ability to analyse a person, a place or a concept and then articulate her thoughts.
Peter Brookes is a demigod among political cartoonists. The septuagenarian is now in his 22nd year at The Times where he still produces a cartoon every day, distilling the frustrations, jibes and political unrest of the nation into one biting image to a looming and unmoveable deadline. This short film The Art of Satire examines Peter's work in the contexts both of political cartooning and of The Times, who recognise Peter's exceptional skill by allowing him to contradict the editorial direction of the paper in favour of following his own line.
New York-based artist Daniel Arsham is a figure with fingers in a lot of different conceptual pies, from installation works to short films. While architecture plays an important part in his work, so too do the paradoxes and oddities of human nature, and that's what's under the microscope here.
CANADA are the epitome of supercool; everything our favourite Barcelona-based filmmakers and producers touch turns to chic, so it's time the rest of us just put down our on-trend moccasins, blacked-out sunglasses and tiny man-buns and just let them get on with it. What better way to retire our cool-hunting ways than to watch the collective's latest short, Laberinto (Labyrinth), directed by Marc Oller, which sees the classic love story of a boy chasing an aloof girl played out sublimely.
In the design world, the brief plays many different roles – ubiquitous, all-important, loathed, misunderstood; it can be a starting point, a back-up and a battleground. And yet we don't often hear that much about the brief and its place in the creative industry – enter design strategy firm Bassett & Partners. Posing the question "if every project starts with a brief, why aren't there more projects that end up with exceptional results?" the San Francisco-based company have tried to rectify this imbalance with their interesting short film Briefly.
Guillermo Del Toro usually associates himself with the darker side of filmmaking, but the Mexican director and producer has just finished work on an altogether more upbeat and life-affirming movie. The Book Of Life follows the story of Manolo, a young man caught in the middle of a wager between two deities who must embark on an epic adventure in order to see the woman he loves again.
Gothenburg's Goat are probably one of the most interesting bands out there at the moment. Their infectious fusion of world music, psych and heavy rock has captured the imagination of a now massive fan base, and their live performances are notoriously theatrical; the whole band costumed and gyrating like some kind of ancient Dionysian cult. Their music videos are pretty nuts too.
It actually takes a lot of hard work to make something seem effortlessly cool, but it helps if the raw ingredient you're working with is, well, Jude Law. And your backdrop is the tranquil waters of the British Virgin Islands. This great new short for Johnnie Walker Blue Label opens with two men entering into a wager: if one wants to win the other's vintage yacht, he'll have to dance for it.
We've been talking a lot recently about the gradual shift of the internet: websites becoming more advanced, successful blogs being abandoned left right and centre, artists adopting new ways of uploading and sharing music. What I've been curious about is the gradual change we're going to witness in music videos. Gone are the hi-octane, fleshy, music videos that were rife a few years back, and it seems that increasingly bands are not as keen to peacock themselves around and taking a back seat is the cool thing to do. Maybe it's also to do with the attention span thing that everyone goes on about, why would you want to watch a four-minute music video with a narrative that you won't understand until you see the end when you can just watch a beautiful piece of ambient animation?
Matthew Frost's Fashion Film featuring Lizzy Caplan remains one of the finest spoofs I have ever posted on the site, and it's interesting that it was that parody that led Kirsten Dunst to this short. Commissioned by Vs. Magazine for their latest cover shoot with the Spiderman star, it's an excruciating look at celebrity culture through the prism of a very individual encounter.
Spectacular promo film here from Reebok, inviting you to "give me your classics and I'll show you the future." As well as taking you swerving around northern A-roads in a BMW E28 M5 (dream car) stopping briefly on the way to pick up a blonde girl in the leafy suburbs (dream babe) this short film perfectly promotes the nostalgia associated with the Reebok Classics.
Paul Gale is a comedy filmmaker whose various online offerings have racked up millions of YouTube hits, but his most recent parody is rocketing him onto a whole new level. Why Starbucks Spells Your Name Wrong takes the simple premise of the misspelling of customers' names on their coffee cups – and the moaning Tweets and Instagrams of "hilariously" egregious examples – and offers a very simple explanation. The staff, it appears, "are f***ing with you."
Creativity can come in all shapes and sizes, and yeah we've posted a lot of great stuff this week. A project or painting someone has been working on for years can change your life entirely, as can one photograph or spectacular piece of design. Sometimes, though, it can just be the opening credits of an old cartoon remade with real animals. Thank you then to Disney and their blog Oh My Disney for creating and sharing something so intricate and bonkers it's blown all art ever made out of the water. Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you the DuckTales Theme Song With Real Ducks.
