End Corporate Rule Call on August 22nd at 9pm
News -
I live in a state that has refused to accept Medicaid Expansion funds. The latest reports are proof that Texas, the largest state opting out, will cut off its nose to spite its face: we could collect $100 billion in federal funds over the next 10 years if we agreed to expand Medicaid eligibility. While hospitals in other states will see a drop in uncompensated care, Texas hospitals will continue to provide $5.5 billion annually to the uninsured.
It's a little difficult to understand why politicians in our state—and others like ours–would reject the opportunity...

Besides our own health-care system, Switzerland's may be the one that gets the most attention in America because of its similarities to the Affordable Care Act's new coverage scheme. So it seems worth noting that 64 percent of Swiss voters rejected a ballot measure on Sunday that would have scrapped its own system in favor of single-payer health care.
If that vote had gone through, it would have replaced more than 60 insurers with a government-run system, something that a fair number of liberals and others would like to see here,...

The Affordable Care Act has made a dent in the glaring lack of health care for many millions of poor people in this, the wealthiest country in the world. But allowing states to op-out of providing Medicaid coverage for the poor, most often people of color, youth and those living in rural areas, means many millions more — in 23 states — have been denied access to essential health care.
This disgraceful loophole in the ACA was raised at the Healthcare-NOW! national strategy conference held in Oakland, Calif., Aug. 22-24. "The...

A study of hospital administrative costs in eight nations published in the September issue of Health Affairs finds that hospital bureaucracy consumed 25.3 percent of hospital budgets in the U.S. in 2011, far more than in other nations.
Administrative costs were lowest (about 12 percent) in Scotland and Canada, whose single-payer systems fund hospitals through global, lump-sum budgets, much as a fire department is funded in the U.S.
The study is the first analysis of administrative costs across multiple nations with widely varying health systems.
It was carried out by an international team...

Don Berwick is making a vital point about the need for progressives to expand the discussion about healthcare reform.
Democratic and Republican strategists, and the candidates who let campaign consultants frame their range of opinion, are still engaging in picayune debates about the strengths and weaknesses of the Affordable Care Act.
But Berwick, who for seventeen months headed the Medicare and Medicaid programs under President Obama, isn't getting lost in the political weeds. He's blazing a trail in the direction of what ultimately must be done—pushing at the constraints of the conversation...

This week, U.S. experts from the Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) and SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Justice Collective will testify before the United Nations' Committee to End Racial Discrimination in Geneva, sharing a report that describes the experiences of American women of color and immigrant women who pay with their health and even their lives for the race and gender discrimination that tirelessly persists in our health system.
The meeting is part of the U.N.'s periodic review process that evaluates how signatories to the International Convention on the Elimination of...
Andrea Flynn | The Hill 17 Aug 2014 Hits:891 HCA Articles
Now that the initial shouting and—at times—vitriol from both sides has subsided after Monday's Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby case, it's time to take a sober look at what the ruling says about the future of health care reform in the United States. The majority's ruling was an imperfect solution to a complicated case involving the reach of religious liberty to exempt organizations from providing certain medical benefits that they find morally objectionable to their employees. The fact that these medical benefits were almost exclusively offered to women...

The United States currently spends more per person on health care than any other developed country. Health outcomes in the U.S., however, are among the worst.
Despite weak health spending growth worldwide, a number of countries still had substantial health care budgets as of 2012. Based on data released by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the U.S. led the developed world in 2012, spending $8,745 per capita on health care. Turkey, by contrast, spent just $984 per capita, the lowest among developed countries. 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the...

The venomous politics dogging the Affordable Care Act and the flawed rollouts of its new health insurance marketplaces have too often overshadowed health reform's noble goal: ensuring that more Americans have access to vital, potentially lifesaving medical coverage.
But on Wednesday, a groundbreaking analysis released by University of Minnesota researchers offered a powerful reminder of why it's important to keep the big picture in mind as the challenges of implementing the landmark 2010 law continue. Even though this state struggled with the balky MNsure website, historic gains were made in extending...

Oregonians can take a critical step toward comprehensive health care for everyone in the state. That first step is the HB 3260 study of health care financing options.
In 2013, the Oregon House Health Care Committee unanimously approved the study, the legislative passed the measure with bipartisan support, and the governor signed it into law.
Why is this HB 3260 study critical?
The study authorizes the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to study four options to finance comprehensive, universal health care in Oregon. When the study is complete, the OHA will submit its report...

Twenty years ago this week, Rwanda's genocide began. Over the course of 100 days, more than 1 million people would be murdered, and after the violence ended, the country—including its health care system—was left in ruins. Cholera outbreaks were rampant, HIV was widespread and people no longer trusted the few doctors who remained in the country because of their ties (suspected or legitimate) to the genocidal regime, the Atlantic reports.
In just two decades, however, according to a new study published in The Lancet, Rwanda has gone from one of the world's most health care-deprived countries to a stand-out example...

When the giant kapok and nawa trees that tower over the Queen's Medical Center in downtown Honolulu were planted more than a century ago, Hawaii faced a health crisis.
Many on the islands, including the queen who founded the hospital in 1859, feared that native Hawaiians, devastated by smallpox, measles and other illnesses brought by foreigners, were in danger of dying off completely.
Today, the people who walk under these trees are some of the healthiest in America.
Hawaiians live longer than their counterparts on the mainland. They die less frequently from common...

Sovaldi, a new hepatitis C treatment, can cure up to 90 percent of patients within three months. There's just one problem: The drug costs $1,000 a day. That price tag has thrown the biotechnology world into turmoil, as lawmakers and insurance companies complain that Sovaldi's maker is trying to milk desperate patients.
Doctors are understandably finding it hard to pass over a drug that is so effective. As a result, Sovaldi's manufacturer, Gilead Sciences (GILD), is raking in the dough, while its shares have soared 53 percent over the last year....

Canadians don't drop dead or delay care due to the lack of health insurance. However in America, thousands will continue to face death according to Harvard researchers. About 25 million people will still not have insurance under Obamacare. Those that do, have seen their rates rise and contrary to the promise that "you can keep your existing plans" bullshit, working people with existing coverage and the poor will see rates not only increase, but will continue to pay a greater share of their income for health care than the wealthy...

Lawmakers have begun looking at how to finance a single-payer health care system that Gov. Peter Shumlin hopes will be his crowning achievement.
Shumlin, a second-term Democrat, wants to launch a universal, publicly financed health care system known as Green Mountain Care in 2017. He has repeatedly told lawmakers that the financing plan to support the system, which his administration has estimated will cost $1.6 billion in its first year, will be revealed next January.
But Sen. Peter Galbraith, a Democrat from Windham County, says the governor's date is too late. He's...

A government-run health care system in Maine would provide universal coverage to residents, cut down on administrative costs and free businesses from the complexities of providing insurance for their employees, supporters of a single-payer model said Thursday.
Advocates of a single-payer system have long been trying to implement the model in Maine with little success, but said they are hopeful that the steps Vermont officials have recently made to spearhead the effort there can help make it a reality in Maine.
"Our current health care system is complicated, is inefficient, unfair and...

As the rollout of Obamacare clunks forward, activists who opposed the law from the beginning say it is time to seize the moment, to tear down the current health-care edifice and start anew, especially now as frustration with the law's implementation is reaching a peak.
These are not Tea Party activists but advocates for a single-payer health-care system who say some of the problems with the launch of the Affordable Care Act—in addition to built-in problems with the law itself—have made the American public more receptive than ever to a Medicare-for-all...

The Affordable Care Act continues to plow ahead, despite Republican attempts to fight it at every turn. What is unfolding in front of us is nothing short of spectacular. The problems with healthcare.gov are slowly being resolved which is helping more and more people sign up for affordable healthcare, many for the first time in their life. The law provides so much more than that, including standards for even the lowest level plans, protections for young adults 26 and younger, and the elimination of pre-existing plans. Of course, you will...

Former CMS administrator Don Berwick is running for Governor in Massachusetts. He has an uphill battle in the ever growing primary for the Democratic nominee. Yet his controversial tenure in DC, his pursuit of the Corner Office in the state that birthed RomneyCare (a state that is home to some of the best medical research institutions in the world), and his devoted following on the left — all grant extra weight to his comments on healthcare.
Berwick's campaign released his platform on healthcare for the Bay State last week. Even with little detail,...

It's no secret that the rollout for Healthcare.gov has been somewhat of a bumpy road. Technical glitches have caused delays for folks looking to obtain insurance, and frustrated those working hard to provide coverage options for all Americans for the first time in this nation's history. While the kinks get repaired, much of the criticism has been beyond comprehension. Is it okay to highlight website problems? Yes. Is it okay to push the president to get these tech issues resolved quickly? Absolutely. But when did having website problems become the...

In my recent column in The Hill titled Obama's health care Katrina I took President Obama to task -- proudly -- for spending years telling Americans they would keep their insurance policies when he knew millions of Americans could not. I called for a solution to help these people and I called on progressives including myself to lead the fight to help them. And now, even more, it is time to do what really needs to be done and fight like hell for a public option, for Medicare for all,...

Whenever scandal arises in Washington, D.C., the fight between the two parties typically ends up being a competition to identify a concise message in the chaos—or, as scientists might say, a signal in all the noise. This week confirms that truism, as glitches plagued the new Obamacare website and as insurance companies cancelled policies for many customers on the individual market.
Amid the subsequent noise of congressional debate and cable TV outrage, Republicans argued that the signal is about government—more specifically, they claim the controversies validate their age-old assertions that government...

WASHINGTON — Defying a veto threat from President Obama, the House on Friday approved legislation that would allow health insurance companies to renew individual insurance policies and sell similar policies to new customers next year even if the coverage does not provide all the benefits and consumer protections required by the new health care law.
The vote was 261 to 157, with 39 Democrats bucking their party leadership to vote in favor of the bill.
The legislation would go further than the fix announced on Thursday by Mr. Obama,...

Holding signs demanding "Expand Medicaid Now," about 60 people, including state legislators, medical professionals, clergy and health advocates gathered Thursday in Charlotte to ask the state's Republican leaders to reverse their position and accept expansion of Medicaid benefits for the poor.

She and fellow Democratic state Rep. Beverly Earle have asked McCrory to convene a special legislative session to reconsider the earlier decision to reject Medicaid...

As states open insurance marketplaces amid uncertainty about whether they're a solution for health care, Vermont is eyeing a bigger goal, one that more fully embraces a government-funded model.
The state has a planned 2017 launch of the nation's first universal health care system, a sort of modified Medicare-for-all that has long been a dream for many liberals.
The plan is especially ambitious in the current atmosphere surrounding health care in the United States. Republicans in Congress balk at the federal health overhaul years after it was signed into law. States are...

PORTLAND, Maine — A Maine nurses group on Monday said President Barack Obama's signature healthcare law, which is criticized by conservatives as overreaching, doesn't go far enough toward universal health coverage.
The Maine State Nurses Association held Monday afternoon health screenings and an evening "town hall" event at the First Parish Church on Congress Street in Portland to advocate for the expansion of the federal Medicare program to cover all Americans, regardless of age.
The organization is planning to hold a second wave of screenings and another town hall event Tuesday afternoon...

Did you happen to see Jimmy Kimmel's interesting skit last week, where he asked people on the street whether they preferred "Obamacare" or the "Affordable Care Act"? Far too many people chose the "Affordable Care Act" over "Obamacare" without realizing that they are one and the same law.
Even worse, several of Kimmel's interviewees rejected "Obamacare" after having already endorsed major pieces of it! Some of this cluelessness is no doubt because of propaganda. Some of it is no doubt because of partisan dislike of the president. But we must not...

Despite critics slamming "Obamacare" – the first major U.S. health-care reform passed in nearly 50 years – as "Canadian-style" health insurance, critics note that major differences between the two systems persist.
McGill University Professor of Political Science Antonia Maioni said the U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which went into effect earlier this week, is "not even close" to the Canadian system.
"Obamacare keeps in place the basic principle of health care in the United States which is: if you want to get access to care you need to buy insurance coverage," she told...

A sweeping national effort to extend health coverage to millions of Americans will leave out two-thirds of the poor blacks and single mothers and more than half of the low-wage workers who do not have insurance, the very kinds of people that the program was intended to help, according to an analysis of census data by The New York Times.

Through all the rhetoric, the misinformation, the lack of information, the cheering and the nay-saying, and the threats and realities of government shutdowns that surrounds the Affordable Care Act (ACA), one thing remains certain: individuals will begin enrolling for health insurance at state exchanges starting on October 1, 2013.

Gallery: Modern Richardson Apartments Provide Low Income Housing In the...
The Richardson Apartments by David Baker + Partners are named in honor of Drs. Julian and Raye Richardson, local activists and founders of Marcus Books, the oldest black bookstore in the country, founded in 1960. Located on Fulton Street just blocks away from city hall, the building takes over a former parking lot, which was one of the sites freed for development by the demolition of the collapsed Central Freeway. The apartments provide much needed supportive housing for San Francisco's homeless population and work to encourage a pedestrian, bike and transit friendly neighborhood. While the building itself is 65,000 sq ft, it is designed to look like a series of varied structures rather than one large one to break up the view from the street.
The ground floor houses a resident entrance lobby, retail space, a common lounge, a common mixed purpose room with a kitchen and a community health clinic. A large open courtyard with seating, tables, benches and plants provides space to gather and enjoy the outdoors. No car parking is provided, but plenty of secure bike parking is available. Above the ground floor are 120 studio apartments furnished with basic necessities like a bed, a dresser, a full kitchenette, an accessible or adaptable bathroom, and a secure telephone line to the front desk.
The Richardson Apartments were designed using the guidelines of Build It Green GreenPoint and Green Communities. Sustainable features of the project include the use of reclaimed woods, a purifying bioswale in the court, and sunshades. The roof includes a living roof, allotment garden plots, solar arrays, seating and views of city hall. The project received its GreenPoint certification in February of 2012.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Beth Sigworth
"Pass the whipped cream and enjoy the looks of sheer ecstasy on everyone's face! Fresh pumpkin must be used in order for it to have the best flavor and texture. Believe me, fresh pumpkin is better than canned!!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

sugar pumpkin
1 recipe
pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
1 cup
packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
2 1/2 teaspoons
pumpkin pie spice
1 (12 fluid ounce) can
evaporated milk
Well, I thought I messed up. I baked the pumpkin for an hour, it was tender when I poked it. As I scraped the flesh away from its skin, it was gritty and dry, not mushy or smooth as I thought it would be. I had already mixed the eggs, sugar etc. so I had to give it a try. It poured into the pie crust (two regular sized ones) like water! I was so upset because I was to take it to Thanksgiving dinner the next morning!! It baked up beautifully and not a crumb was left the next day! I'm making another (one deep dish this time) and this time the pumpkin scraped off smooth like it is out of a can, NEVER fear, it will work out no matter the texture of the pumpkin! I used the Best Ever Pie Crust recipe from this site.....it's terrific!!!
I think Libby's canned recipe was better. This was a good recipe, but not as fantastic as the ratings led me to believe it might be. I was told at Thanksgiving that they wished I'd made my sweet potato pie instead... The texture was good, but the flavor was lacking. Not sure why, but one pie cooked way longer than the other, but still turned out ok.

I have baked 4 of these. The first time I followed the recipe to the letter. Great pie, but just a little more spice is needed for my family's personal taste. The second time I baked it, I increased the pumpkin pie spice to 1 Tablespoon and everyone thought it was better.
I made this recipe with my jack-o-lantern the day after Halloween. It tasted great even with regular pumpkin (note: one good sized jack-o-lantern makes about 4 pies). My husband loved it! One suggestion: for a really smooth, creamy pie blend the filling in the blender on puree for a few seconds AFTER you've mixed the ingredients. It really smoothed it out. This one is a definite keeper.
I would give 4.5 stars but don't have the option. Reason being is that I use my own combination of fresh ground spices instead of store bought pumpkin pie spice. The recipe itself is great otherwise. Note: I only use 3/4 can of the evap milk or my filling seemed a bit loose. I personally think making fresh puree makes a difference so I prepare more pumpkin puree (frozen in 2C containers) for another time. I'm also not into making crust so I use the Ms Smith pre-made pie shells or Pills ready crust, which are pretty darn good for store bought and less fuss. Oh, I forgot...I also blind bake the pie crust and cool b4 filling to avoid soggy crust (375 for 10 minutes) If your pie filling seems loose at the end of baking time, turn the oven off and just leave it until it's more "set". Good stuff, thanks for the post!
My husband says this is the best pumpkin pie I have ever made.
I also prebaked the pie crust at 425 degrees for about 10 minutes. Than I filled and followed the receipe. It made the crust nice and crisp.
This is the best pumpkin pie that I have ever had. Even my hard to impress father-in-law loved it. I usually bake several pumpkins at once and freeze the puree in 2c (enough for one pie) batches. The recipe is almost too much for one pie, I keep those tiny pre-made pie shells on hand to make "extra" pies if the pan is too full. Fresh whipped cream is wonderful on this pie - adding a touch of Myers rum to the cream is even better!!
This will be the 5th Thanksgiving that I have made this pie. Let me just say that it is FANTASTIC. Fresh pumpkin really makes this pie. I agree with other reviewers about adding extra spices, but it is great as-is also. I always use the "BAKERS SECRET PIE CRUST" recipe from this site. It comes out perfect everytime. Another variation is to use the struesel topping from the "Brown Family's Favorite Pumpkin Pie" recipe also on this site. The streusel is great with walnuts or my family's favorite- pecans. YUM! You won't be dissapointed!

Thom Browne Spring 2014
In the throes of pragmatic New York Fashion Week, it is always intriguing to see what Thom Browne has up his shrunken sleeve. For this season's controversial show, Browne claims to have been thinking of "insane Elizabethan clowns"—although he confessed during a preview that he's never actually seen an image of one, so the parade of very elaborately constructed garments (that moved to the courtly pace of a seventeenth-century masque) provided abundant evidence of this designer's clearly febrile imagination.
Let's just say that Mr. Browne has the courage of his convictions. There were ruffs and there were abbreviated farthingales (peplums plumped up with thick padding), and there were cuirasse bodices that trapped the wearer like the hieratic, iron-corseted garments seen in portraits of the Virgin Queen and belied the message Girls Are Fun graffitied, punk-like, across the front of a lacy jacket. There was a crumb-catcher neckline nestling little white doves, there were hobble skirts, and there was even a straightjacket with endless fishing line jacquard and cashmere sleeves. Let's face it: These clothes, wafted with the spirit of the late Lee McQueen, are clearly not conceived for the dynamic working woman on the go, although they are crying out to be used by artist Matthew Barney in one of his own elaborate tableaux, complete with pearl-studded snoods and faces and hair that seemed to be dusted with the white lead powder that poisoned many an Elizabethan beauty.
Deconstructed, of course, there are some more real life options hidden in the costume: tailored jackets with the flavor of a World World II military nurse's uniform, prettily fastened with mother of pearl and embellished with white metal bullion motifs, and if the basketwork crinoline cage was a step too far, the same Italian craftspeople have fashioned white lacquered woven case purses that the distracted-seeming models carried dangling and open to reveal the designer's signature red, white, and blue ticking linings.
There is no question that Browne's workmanship and technique are formidable—a hobbling latex sheath, for instance, is slashed like a Jacobean doublet and the resulting knife slits puffed with organza pleated like Chinatown paper lanterns. Sections of lace, pique, eyelet, and latex are all blended into the same garment, perforated and appliquéd to provide further textural interest. The seams that lap the body in parabolic swirls are pintuck-edged so that they create their own dimensional architecture. But these complex, haute couture–minded ensembles remain enigmatic, and posit the question: Where oh where is she hobbling to, all dolled up and furbelowed like this?

Obama is going to win. The Florida and Ohio numbers are getting out of hand for Romney.
WTF going on in Broward? Romney up 72-27 with 270,000+ votes in. Obama won Broward with 67% of the vote four years ago. No way that's right.

Batman's 1976 Pro Wrestling Encounter With Jerry "The Super-King" Lawler Is Amazing (and Slightly Drunk)
If there's one thing I know about Batman, it's that he will travel any distance to take on the forces of evil. That was definitely the case in 1976, when his never-ending battle against crime -- and an appearance at a nearby car show -- brought him to Memphis and an encounter with local villain and professional wrestling icon Jerry "The King" Lawler, who was sporting a full-on Superman costume, complete with cape.
Fortunately, their encounter

Current Exhibition
PH_ashion 2014
On View through September, 2015
Gallery Hours: Monday - Friday 10:00 am - 4:00 pm. CLOSED Saturday and Sunday.
The title of this exhibition derives from a course - PH 121 in the Photography and Digital Imaging major that is taught by Anju Kulkarni. The images on view in the Smith galleries were taken by Amber Smith, Dino Trait, John Gilman, Keith Fratantaro, Morgan Sanders, Rachel Kuzma and River Thompson, who were students in the fall 2014 class.
The final project is a one-night event in November in the Roskamp Exhibition Hall where these works are displayed. A runway show organized by the students for that evening features the clothing in the images, the designers, and the models.
For the photographs, students choose their own models, clothing and accessories. They are responsible for all aspects of their photo session including location, lighting, props, hair and make-up.
Most importantly, the student must understand the art of producing images worthy of selection for print that would be desirable to a publisher or anyone else in the world of fashion.
Kulkarni encourages the students to have faith, to believe in themselves and "to avoid negative company." She says "when challenged, students will rise to the occasion." This group of images proves her correct.

Spizzenergi was a late 1970s English punk / new wave band led by vocalist / guitarist Spizz (real name Kenneth Spiers). The band changed its name several times during its existence, alternate names including Athletico Spizz 80, Spizzoil and The Spizzles. They are notable as the first band to top the newly created UK Indie Chart early in 1980. However, they were perhaps best known for their single "Where''s Captain Kirk?" More than two decades after its release, it was included in Mojo magazineâ[][]s list of the best punk rock singles of all time.

Very tasty thanks for this one. My in-laws are from Vietnam so I have stiff competition when it comes to stir fries, but this recipe, won the family over and I plan to cook it again. I added a bell pepper and about 2 TBSP sugar to the sauce but otherwise changed nothing. Next time I will make more sauce because it was very good, and would be great over extra rice. Tips* to make the wok extra hot, and not to make the food soggy I stir fry all my stir fry dishes one part at a time. For example first fry up the peas, take them out and set aside, then do the mushrooms, continue until everything is complete, and then once everything is hot and crispy toss it in the wok or skillet with the sauce of your choice. I learned this from an Asian cooking show that was teaching how to make the best stir fry if you do not have a restaurant quality wok with a burning flame in your home. Since using this technique my food has improved greatly in this style of cooking. I hope it will work for you also.
This was WAY too salty and spicy. If I make this again I will leave out the salt, black pepper, and red pepper. Why call it shrimp with garlic if you can't taste either one?
24 Ratings
This was excellent! The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 is that is was SUPER spicy. Me and hubby really like the spice but it was almost too much for us which leads me to believe it would be WAY too hot for most people. Scale back on the heat and you have yourself a fabulous meal.
WOW! If you are a garlic lover, a seafood lover, and like an asian inspired dish with some heat, STOP, you have found the perfect recipe! This was really delicious, I prepared exactly as written and just added some more veg, some shredded carrot and red pepper strips. Served over jasmine rice spiked with carrot and fine diced red peppers. Hubby raved over this. Thanks for a very delicious recipe, will keep this one in the rotation for sure.
WE loved this. I used onion,bell pepper and carrots as the only veggies. It was a very nice meal
I used this recipe as a basis and then adjusted to my own taste. Here are my variations:
Added 1 small sweet yellow onion
Doubled sauce recipe(vinegar, chicken broth, sherry and fish sauce)
Doubled corn starch/water
Added 1 tsp sugar
used and entire head of garlic(about 15 cloves)
I prepped the ingredients first, then made the sauce. I halved the jumbo shrimp(Costco fresh shrimp are awesome) and soaked them in the sauce while I was cooking the veggies. I then added the shrimp and continued cooking for about a minute then added the sauce and finally the corn startch slurry.
I served this over Jasmine Rice and it was incredible. Better than any Chinese restaraunt I've ever had it at.
Kudos on this great recipe.
I love this - I was truly crazy about it!! My DH liked it, and my step son did not (And i left out the red peppers in hopes that he'd like it - so next time I'll make it with the red pepper flakes too :) I used 1tbsp canola and 1tbsp sesame oil, yum! I didn't have fish sauce, so I used clam juice. Other than that I followed the recipe, well less garlic but will use a bit more next time too. Yum -thanks for a great recipe!
This is very tasty shrimp stir-fry recipe. I cut back on the garlic though, by only using 2 garlic cloves. 10 garlic cloves is way too much garlic for me! I served it over hot steamed rice, as suggested.

Honoring William H. Webb on Founder's Day
By John Carlson '14
With boots laced and sleeves rolled up, on April 5 the entire Webb family set out to give back to our shared home. From power washing patio furniture to cleaning the towing tank from the inside, students and faculty alike set out with smiles to improve the campus for this year's Founder's Day celebration. This honors the generous spirit of our founder, William H. Webb, by striving to give back to the institution that has given us all so much.
Founder's Day activities typically focus on manual labor projects that can be completed in an afternoon. Popular examples include pub cleaning, power washing, and yacht club restoration, although anybody is welcome to suggest a project and potentially lead a team. This combination of widespread student activism and volunteer work is a symbol of what makes Webbies unique, and is deservedly a great source of pride among members of the community.
After a day of hard work, all were rewarded with a delicious dinner prepared by Peter Morris and his staff. In addition to this, the ceremonial cutting of the Founder's Day cake by the youngest members of the Webb family, was carried out by Professor Emeritus, Tom Bond '45 and freshman Kurt Gavel '16. The Webb Family of Singers also performed, thus completing a hard day's work, with dinner and a show.
Legendary naval architect Halsey Herreshoff '55, who is famous for his production and custom yacht designs, delivered the guest lecture. He is the former president of the Hereshoff Maritime Museum and a co-founder of the America's Cup Hall of Fame. The student body was delighted to hear of Mr. Herreshoff's experiences at Webb, and it was a great honor to have him speak.
Another guest appearance was made by Professor Emeritus John Hennings, the "founder" of the Founder's Day event. His dedication to hard work, gratitude, and giving back to the community are symbolic of what this day is about.

Abdominal Ultrasound
(Abdominal Ultrasonography, Abdominal Sonography, Abdominal Echography)
Procedure overview
An abdominal ultrasound is a noninvasive procedure used to assess the organs and structures within the abdomen, such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, bile ducts, spleen, and abdominal aorta. Ultrasound technology allows quick visualization of the abdominal organs and structures from outside the body. Ultrasound may also be used to assess blood flow to abdominal organs.
An abdominal ultrasound uses a handheld probe called a transducer that sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard. When the transducer is placed on the abdomen at certain locations and angles, the ultrasonic sound waves move through the skin and other body tissues to the organs and structures of the abdomen. The sound waves bounce off the organs like an echo and return to the transducer. The transducer picks up the reflected waves, which are then converted into an electronic picture of the organs.
Different types of body tissues affect the speed at which sound waves travel. Sound travels the fastest through bone tissue, and moves most slowly through air. The speed at which the sound waves are returned to the transducer, as well as how much of the sound wave returns, is translated by the transducer as different types of tissue.
Prior to the procedure, clear, water-based gel is applied to the skin to allow for smooth movement of the transducer over the skin and to eliminate air between the skin and the transducer.
By using an additional mode of ultrasound technology during an ultrasound procedure, blood flow within the abdomen can be assessed. An ultrasound transducer capable of assessing blood flow contains a Doppler probe. The Doppler probe within the transducer evaluates the velocity and direction of blood flow in the vessel and makes the sound waves audible.
Ultrasound may be safely used during pregnancy or in the presence of allergies to contrast dye, because no radiation or contrast dyes are used.
Other related procedures that may be performed to evaluate the abdomen include abdominal X-rays, computed tomography (CT scan) of the abdomen, and abdominal angiogram. Please see these procedures for more information.
Reasons for the procedure
Abdominal ultrasound may be used to assess the size and location of abdominal organs and structures. Ultrasound can detect cysts, tumors, abscesses, obstructions, fluid collection, blockages (clots) in blood vessels, and infection within the abdomen. The size of the abdominal aorta can be measured by ultrasound in order to detect an aortic aneurysm. Calculi (stones) of the gallbladder, kidneys, and ureters may be detected by ultrasound.
Abdominal ultrasound may be performed to assist in placement of needles used to biopsy abdominal tissue or to drain fluid from a cyst or abscess.
Abdominal ultrasound may also be used to assess the blood flow of various structures within the abdomen.
There may be other reasons for your doctor to recommend an abdominal ultrasound.
Risks of the procedure
There is no radiation used and generally no discomfort from the application of the ultrasound transducer to the skin.
There may be risks depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor prior to the procedure.
Certain factors or conditions may interfere with the results of the test. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
Severe obesity
Barium within the intestines from a recent barium procedure
Intestinal gas
Before the procedure
Your doctor will explain the procedure to you and offer you the opportunity to ask any questions that you might have about the procedure.
You may be asked to sign a consent form that gives your permission to do the procedure. Read the form carefully and ask questions if something is not clear.
Any prior preparation, such as fasting or sedation, will be determined by the specific area to be examined. Your doctor will give you instructions if required.
Although the gel applied to the skin during the procedure does not stain clothing, you may wish to wear older clothing, as the gel may not be completely removed from your skin afterwards.
Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparation.
During the procedure
An abdominal ultrasound may be performed on an outpatient basis or as part of your stay in a hospital. Procedures may vary depending on your condition and your doctor's practices.
Generally, an abdominal ultrasound follows this process:
You will be asked to remove any clothing, jewelry, or other objects that may interfere with the scan.
If asked to remove clothing, you will be given a gown to wear.
You will lie on an examination table on your back or side, depending on the specific area of the abdomen to be examined.
A clear gel will be placed on the skin over the area to be examined.
The transducer will be pressed against the skin and moved around over the area being studied.
If blood flow is being assessed, you may hear a "whoosh, whoosh" sound when the Doppler probe is used.
Once the procedure has been completed, the gel will be wiped off.
While the abdominal ultrasound procedure itself causes no pain, having to lie still for the length of the procedure may cause slight discomfort, and the clear gel will feel cool and wet. The technologist will use all possible comfort measures and complete the procedure as quickly as possible to minimize any discomfort.
After the procedure
There is no special care required after an abdominal ultrasound. You may resume your usual diet and activities unless your doctor advises you differently. Your doctor may give you additional or alternate instructions after the procedure, depending on your particular situation.

|Vermont Fairs
The Vermont State Fair, the state's second largest fair, is getting started this weekend for a week long run while the Champlain County Fair, the state's largest fair, will be finishing Monday.

|Mad River Valley Crafts Fair
One of the exhibitors at the Craft Fair will be Baby's Breath Quilts, a Barre VT quilt maker.
The Mad River Craft Fair is being held this weekend at Kenyon's Field in Waitsfield VT. I've been to the fair several times and always enjoyed seeing the wide variety of great crafts and artwork on display. We've bought a few items over the years, most notably some great Alpaca sweaters for the grand kids. It's a fun event to attend with very good food, a wide variety of crafts and excellent live music (a swing band on Sunday!). I recommend it highly and can almost guarantee you will find something you just have to buy. It's that good.
If you have children in tow, don't hesitate to go. They have plenty of activities geared toward the younger set to keep them entertained. In the meantime, you can stroll and browse pottery, wood crafts, paintings, jewelery (lots of jewelery), unique clothing, baskets, toys, furniture, and much more produced by area artisans.
This show has been going on for 30 years and features more than 100 of the region's top crafts people and artists. The show is put on by the Valley Players, a long time Waitsfield theater group. It is open Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Three demonstrations are given each day. I think I will try to get to the 1:00 Saturday demonstration by Michelle Wildflower (great name!) who is listed as an "alchemist." I don't know what that is but I want to find out.
The event is a fund raiser for a local theater group called The Valley Players.
By the way, that group is presenting some unique ten minute plays with the Vermont Playwrights this same weekend.
$3 admission, under 12 free. See you there!

|Feast of Fools in Burlington Aug 8 - 10
Burlington City Arts is presenting the Festival of Fools this weekend. It is described as a "curated festival of street theater" but it looks to me like a mix of goofy fun, slapstick, circus stunts, and silly music - some very funny entertainment in other words.
There is a Feast of Fools web page that describes the performers in detail and has links to each one's web site.
Looks like a lot of fun and worth checking out if you are in the area. And there is all the usual great things to see and do in Burlington such as Church Street Market Place, ECHO Aquarium and Museum, Waterfront Park (great place to watch the sunsets over the Adirondack mountains on the other side of Lake Champlain), Maritime Museum, cruise boats, ferry to NY, etc. Lots of good restaurants and pubs too. Plus people watching.

|Stowe Antique and Classic Car Show Weekend
Stowe's annual antique and classic car show draws about 800 automobiles for display and a goodly number of other interesting vehicles driven by "spectators" who drive their own unique car just to see the show but not as participants. Just look around the parking lot when you arrive and you're bound to find some interesting cars that are "drivers," not official show cars.
One of the most well attended parts of the show is the Car Corral where cars are not part of the official judging but are there just to be sold. The Corral is at the back corner of the display field.
Also, this is a good parts collector show where you will find a fairly good number of professional and amateur parts sellers.
You can find the show on Route 100 a mile or so south of Stowe village. Take Exit 10 from Vermont Interstate 89 and go north. It's about a 10 or 15 minute drive from the highway.
The car show runs Friday through Sunday, August 8 - 10. It has been rainy here, so bring your umbrella and best mud shoes or boots. If your car is dirty, just wash the upper part because the lower part will get muddy.

One year after 20 students and six adults lost their lives in the mass murder at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Maryland operates under a new gun law aimed at stemming the tide of gun violence within its borders.
"We experience a Newtown every day in the U.S.," state Sen. Brian E. Frosh said. "There are 25 to 30 killings by firearms every single day, it's just not all in one place."
Gun violence is a serious public health issue, said Frosh (D-Dist. 16) of Chevy Chase, a 2014 Democratic candidate for attorney general, and Senate leader on the gun law that passed in 2013.
But he said it took the deadly shootings of schoolchildren last December to galvanize the public and lawmakers behind the Firearms Safety Act of 2013.
The new law, supported by Gov. Martin O'Malley (D) and adopted by the General Assembly early this year, requires background checks, fingerprinting, training and a licensing fee for everyone purchasing regulated firearms — a category that includes handguns but not shotguns or hunting rifles.
The law also bans about 40 semi-automatic rifles deemed to be "assault weapons" and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. It also restricts gun ownership by certain people with a history of mental illness.
The Firearms Safety Act of 2013 took effect Oct. 1.
Time will tell if the changes actually save lives and prevent a massacre in Maryland.
Opponents, however, say the law missed the mark.
"I think Maryland did nothing whatsoever to curb gun violence," said Del. Michael D. Smigiel Sr. "All we did was attempt to make criminals out of law-abiding citizens."
Smigiel (R-Dist. 36) of Chesapeake City called the law "tyranny" that fails to actually punish "bad guys with guns."
As just one example, Smigiel said the law allows residents to buy banned weapons out of state and bring those weapons into Maryland but it prevents visitors with permits to carry a concealed weapon in other states from carrying in Maryland.
"The law is just feel-good legislation that really just complicates the matter for law-abiding Marylanders," Smigiel said. "I don't think anybody can point to any aspect of that law and show where any portion of it made people safer."
Vincent DeMarco, president of Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence, is confident lives will be saved, particularly by the fingerprint licensing.
"It's going to prevent people from lying about who they are, and it's going to deter people from buying guns who are criminals," DeMarco said. "It's a really good strategy for reducing gun violence."
A 2013 study by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's Center for Gun Policy and Research found that once implemented, Maryland's law would reduce gun trafficking, gun crime and gun homicides.
The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence ranked Maryland fourth in the nation for best gun laws and gave it a grade of A based on thirty policy areas, including background checks and access of dangerous persons to weapons.
"We know from other states that these laws work," DeMarco said.
But in Maryland, Smigiel said the licensing requirement has an already backlogged Maryland State Police unable to meet the law's mandate that it only take seven days to process background checks. At present, he said police are taking as long as 120 days to process background checks. If gun shop owners were allowed to do those checks, it would take mere seconds, he said.
State police did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Maryland's new law allows residents who owned assault weapons or magazines over 10 rounds before Oct. 1 to keep those weapons.
As a result, thousands of Marylanders flocked to buy guns in the months between passage and Oct. 1.
Maryland had more purchases of guns in the first nine months of 2013 than in the prior year and half, Del. Luiz R.S. Simmons said. Simmons, while a supporter of the bill, is critical of many of its provisions.
"There was literally a tidal wave of gun purchases in Maryland," Simmons (D-Dist. 17) of Rockville said. "I believe Maryland is armed to the teeth and I do not believe the governor's bill went far enough." Simmons is a candidate for the District 17 state Senate seat.
"What this law did was [create] a buying frenzy," Del. John W.E. Cluster Jr. said. "Maryland put 100,000 more guns on the street by this law."
Cluster (R-Dist. 8) of Parkville, a retired police sergeant, said he knows residents who bought assault weapons for no other reason than the coming ban.
"I do not know the solution to gun violence. We will always have gun violence. It is always going to happen," he said.
One solution might be to make it easier for residents who want to carry a weapon to do so, he said.
Cluster is one of a few lawmakers who do not feel the 2013 law ends the gun debate.
He has filed a bill for 2014 that would place an armed safety resource officer in every Maryland school in an effort to protect students should a shooting like Sandy Hook happen here.
A December 2013 report from the Connecticut Police Chiefs Association found it took responding Newtown officers 8 minutes and 39 seconds from the first call to 911 until they entered Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012.
Just minutes before they entered, shooter Adam Lanza had ended his rampage by taking his own life.
Newtown officers were on the scene only 1 minute and 10 seconds before Lanza's suicide, the report found.
Cluster said an armed officer in the building could have responded more quickly and potentially saved lives.
Smigiel and Simmons are also proposing amendments to fix what they see as a flaws in the law.
Both said mental illness was under-addressed. Lanza, the man responsible for the Newtown massacre, had a history of mental illness.
Yet long before Lanza entered Sandy Hook Elementary School, Simmons said a Maryland task force was studying the access of those with mental illness to firearms.
An amendment to require mental health professionals report to police when a patient discloses an intent to harm or kill is among those Simmons said he plans to bring to the floor in 2014.
Smigiel said he plans to again propose three amendments addressing mental illness that failed last session, including a bill to provide access to local mental health care for those who are released from long-term facilities.
Smigiel is also proposing a change to eliminate a regulatory requirement that applicants for a handgun license shoot a firearm first.
As the legislature enters an election year, Frosh said it is unlikely it will reopen the gun debate.
"There's still a lot of things we should do or should have done, but this is such a major change in the law," Frosh said. "There are a lot of things we'd like to tighten up but I am not optimistic we'll have another swing at it for while."
