Interpretive Handbook
8556 :
Aldosterone, 24 Hour, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Aldosterone stimulates sodium transport across cell membranes, particularly in the distal renal tubule where sodium is exchanged for hydrogen and potassium. Secondarily, aldosterone is important in the maintenance of blood pressure and blood volume.
Aldosterone is the major mineralocorticoid and is produced by the adrenal cortex. The renin-angiotensin system is the primary regulator of the synthesis and secretion of aldosterone. Likewise, increased concentrations of potassium in the plasma may directly stimulate adrenal production of the hormone. Under physiologic conditions, pituitary adrenocorticotropic hormone can stimulate aldosterone secretion.
Urinary aldosterone levels are inversely correlated with urinary sodium excretion. Normal subjects will show a suppression of urinary aldosterone with adequate sodium repletion.
Primary hyperaldosteronism, which may be caused by aldosterone-secreting adrenal adenoma/carcinomas or adrenal cortical hyperplasia, is characterized by hypertension accompanied by increased aldosterone levels, hypernatremia, and hypokalemia. Secondary hyperaldosteronism (eg, in response to renovascular disease, salt depletion, potassium loading, cardiac failure with ascites, pregnancy, Bartter's syndrome) is characterized by increased aldosterone levels and increased plasma rennin activity.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Investigation of primary aldosteronism (eg, adrenal adenoma/carcinoma and adrenal cortical hyperplasia) and secondary aldosteronism (renovascular disease, salt depletion, potassium loading, cardiac failure with ascites, pregnancy, Bartter's syndrome)
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Under normal circumstances, if the 24-hour urinary sodium excretion is >200 mEq, the urinary aldosterone excretion should be <10 mcg/24 hours.
Urinary aldosterone excretion >12 mcg/24 hours as part of an aldosterone suppression test is consistent with hyperaldosteronism.
24-Hour urinary sodium excretion should exceed 200 mEq to document adequate sodium repletion.
See Renin-Aldosterone Studies in Special Instructions.
Note: Advice on stimulation or suppression tests is available from Mayo Clinic's Division of Endocrinology and may be obtained by calling Mayo Medical Laboratories.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The plasma renin activity (PRA) cannot be interpreted if the patient is being treated with spironolactone (Aldactone). Spironolactone (Aldactone) should be discontinued for 4 to 6 weeks before testing.
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have the potential to "falsely elevate" PRA. Therefore, in a patient treated with an ACE-inhibitor, the findings of a detectable PRA level or a low sodium aldosterone (SA)/PRA ratio do not exclude the diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. In addition, a strong predictor for primary aldosteronism is a PRA level undetectably low in a patient taking an ACE-inhibitor.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-30 days: 0.7-11.0 mcg/24 hours*

March 30, 2010His Holiness, KIRILLPatriarch of Moscow and all Russia
Your Holiness:
Greetings to you during these all holy days as we prepare to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May God give you strength!
We were horrified to learn of the barbaric attack yesterday on the beloved citizens of Moscow by a group of terrorists. This was especially disturbing as it took place during the Great and Holy Week of the Church. On behalf of all the bishops, clergy and faithful of the Self-Ruled Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of North America, please accept our sincere and deep sympathies to Your Holiness, the Russian government and the Russian people. May the innocent blood which was shed on Calvary wash away our sins and the sins of the entire world.
The Very Rev. Dr. Alexander Atty has received the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP to accept, and has accepted, an appointment as Dean of St. Tikhon's Orthodox Seminary in South Canaan, PA. The appointment will be effective on July 1, 2010. Fr. Atty is currently a member of the seminary's Board of Trustees. He is a priest of the Antiochian Archdiocese who has served as pastor of St. Michael the Archangel Church of Louisville, KY, since 1980.Fr. Alexander was born August 7, 1951 in Johnstown, PA, and holds a BS in engineering. After earning his MDiv at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary, he earned his DMin from the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. Ordained a priest on December 9,1979 at St. Nicholas Cathedral, Brooklyn NY, he was elevated to the rank of archpriest in 1988. Fr. Atty is married to Khourieh Olga, whose father is the retired OCA priest, Fr. John Nehrebecki. We pray that our Lord will bless this appointment, and that St. Tikhon's Seminary will continue to make great forward strides under the leadership of Fr. Alexander.

On March 3, 2010, an unexpected and out of the ordinary visitor arrived at the edge of the Antiochian Village property. A small black bear was sighted in a tree. A Game Comissioner was called in. He sedated the bear and gave it a mask to protect its eyes and mouth while being moved.
The Game Comissioner confirmed that this is out of the ordinary. After examination, it is clear that this young bear is ill and thin. He came out of hibernation early, and finding no food, he tried to locate some in the neighbor's garbage.
The Game Commission assured Mother Alexandra that sleeping beauty will be medicated, fed, and released somewhere good for bears.

The Orthodox Center for the Advancement of Biblical Studies is pleased to announce publication of the latest addition to the Chrysostom Bible Series, Romans: A Commentary. In this volume, the author, Paul Nadim Tarazi, explains that Romans, "the one gospel meant for all the nations living in the Roman empire East and West," was addressed to the capital city and positioned at the beginning of the Pauline corpus to emphasize the universality of St. Paul's teaching. Not only Romans, he argues, but all of Paul's epistles were meant to be read at church gatherings everywhere, "together with the Old Testament." The book is available in both e-book and paperback versions.
The V. Rev. Dr. Paul Nadim Tarazi is Professor of Biblical Studies and Languages at St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary. He is the author of a three volume Introduction to the Old Testament, a four volume Introduction to the New Testament, Galatians: A Commentary, I Thessalonians: A Commentary, Land and Covenant, and the Chrysostom Bible, Genesis: A Commentary and Philippians: A Commentary. His Audio Bible Commentaries on the books of the New Testament are available online through the Orthodox Center for the Advancement of Biblical Studies (OCABS).

Groundbreaking Ceremony: from left to right The Very Reverend Fr. Joseph Rahal, The Right Reverend Fr. Nicholas Ozone, His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP, The Very Reverend Fr. Elia Shalhoub, and Mayor of the Town of Davie, Judy Paul.By Charles Weber
Valentine's weekend is usually a time for sweethearts to get together and celebrate their love for each other. Here in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida during this time, parishioners of St. Philip Antiochian Orthodox Church and members of the Archdiocese were celebrating love as well, but love for the Church in the form of stewardship. The ground breaking ceremonies for the new John and Hooda Germack Hall took place over this wonderful weekend with lots of events and fun.
The events started Friday night with a dinner welcoming His Eminence Metropolitan PHILIP where the plans and the model for the new hall were presented by Architect Alex Khoury to the Metropolitan, Parish Council, and a few Archdiocese Board of Trustees members. This event was hosted by Salim and Deborah Khoury at the Coral Ridge Yacht Club. There was a short question and answer session about the new hall which was very informative. At the same time, the weekend chairman, Richard Zakka, Spoke about the new St. Philip Antiochian Orthodox Church Home for Children Program, which will "serve a greater cause than ourselves", to help orphaned children in need. He stated that "There are over 1 million homeless children in the United States and someone has to take the initiative of changing that number". Mr. Zakka, who is spearheading this effort, asked "If we don't do it, who will? If not now, then when?"
Fr. John BehrIn a new summertime venture, St Vladimir's Seminary will be offering an intensive weeklong academic course for the public, June 13–19, 2010, with an option for academic credit.
Archpriest John Behr, renowned professor of Patristics and dean of St Vladimir's, will lead a rigorous and rewarding academic class titled "From Gospel to Creed." The course will examine key Christian figures and explore the historical and thematic paths that led to the formulation and promulgation of the Creed of Nicaea.
"I'm thrilled to offer a course to the general public this summer," said Fr John. "And, I'm always eager to share what so energizes me—learning about Christ and the origins of my church, and all the providential quirks of history that make that study so fascinating, enduring, and decidedly life-changing."

Archpastoral Directive
To our Venerable Hierarchs and beloved clergy of our God Protected Archdiocese:
Greetings and blessings to all of you in the Spirit of this Great and Holy Lent.
It has come to my attention that there is some confusion concerning the Typikon of the Great Feast of the Annunciation. We have discovered that different Typikons deal with this issue in different ways.
Therefore we ask you to abide by the following directions:
1) You may celebrate the Pre-Sanctified Liturgy on Wednesday morning, March 24th.
2) Celebrate Matins and Divine Liturgy for the Annunciation on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, March 25th.
Wishing you a blessed journey to the Empty Tomb, I remain,
Your father in Christ,
Metropolitan PHILIP
Archbishop of New York and Metropolitan of All North America
The Department of Convention and Conference Planning announces the launching of a new website dedicated to assisting parishes in planning and executing Parish Life Conferences and Archdiocese Conventions: Antiochian Events (www.antiochianevents.org). The Antiochian Archdiocese funded this project, and NAC Fellowship of St. John the Divine will cover its annual operating expenses.
The new website includes a comprehensive system for online registration and payment functions. Conference and convention participants will be able to register for events, to submit Souvenir Journal sponsorships, to upload journal messages and art work, to register for vendor or display booths, to make general donations, and to make individual or corporate sponsorship donations.
Metropolitan Athenagoras of Mexico visited Haiti this past week bringing comfort to the clergy and Orthodox faithful of the earthquake stricken Island. His Eminence arrived from Greece where he was visiting for official Church business, aboard a Greek Government plane, with the Assistant Foreign Minister of Greece and the Executive Director of the NGO "Solidarity" of the Church of Greece. The plane was carrying 50 tons of food, medicine and other aid, a gift from the Greek Government and the Church of Greece, for the people of Haiti.
His Eminence immediately visited the homes and schools of the Greek Orthodox ministry in Haiti to assess the damage done by the earthquake. He was deeply moved by what he saw; "This is a disaster of immense proportions" he noted. All of the buildings where the Greek Orthodox Church and schools are presently housed were seriously damaged and will need major repairs, or even worse, will need to be demolished and rebuilt. His Eminence further visited the property owned by the Holy Metropolis where the Metropolis has plans to build a complete complex, comprised of a Church, a school, a clinic and housing for clergy.
Since the property is presently vacant, families whose homes were destroyed and who had no place to live, are presently using the property for temporary living quarters. About 3000 people live on the Church property, 1000 of whom are children. Initially they lived out in the open until last week when the Metropolis received a donation of 500 tents, which were given to these families for more humane living conditions.

February 21, 2010The Feast of the Sunday of Orthodoxy
The Hierarchs of the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas
To all the Clergy and the Laity of the Holy Orthodox Churches in the Americas
Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We, the Hierarchs of the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas, greet you on the Feast of the Sunday of Orthodoxy with words of the Holy Apostle Paul that were selected by the Primates of the worldwide Orthodox Church to close their Message proclaimed on October 12, 2008. Indeed, we glory in our God whose love for us exceeds every thought or imagining that could enter our minds or hearts. As the Apostle Paul says in another place: Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him (I Cor. 2:9).
In the historic Synaxis and in the Message that was declared by it, the Primates of worldwide Orthodox Christianity proclaimed the following with one voice and one heart:
Antiochian Women With Completed Haiti KitsNearly everyone had arrived at Antiochian Village by Friday Feb. 5 for Antiochian Women's mid-winter meetings before the fourth largest snowstorm ever in western Pennsylvania began.
The North American Board (NAB), made up of five elected officers, immediate past president and six coordinators, met Friday afternoon. They began meetings with officers and delegates of the seven diocesan Antiochian Women's organizations on Friday evening, which continued on Saturday after Soul Saturday Divine Liturgy.
Prior to the first meeting Mother Alexandra, abbess of the Convent of St. Thekla that established at the Village in July, led a mini-retreat for the women. Most everyone, including monastics, deal with temptations and distractions in their spiritual lives, Mother Alexandra said. She talked with the women about the things that distract us, including church-related ones. "We need to stay focused."
His Grace Bishop THOMAS spoke to the women about preparations for Great Lent and for the Kingdom of God. "You have the opportunity to spend a lot of time in the presence of God." He later added that "you bring great joy to this place."

1 pound
sweet Italian sausage
3/4 pound
lean ground beef
1/2 cup
minced onion
2 cloves
garlic, crushed
1 (28 ounce) can
crushed tomatoes
2 (6 ounce) cans
tomato paste
2 (6.5 ounce) cans
canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup
2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
dried basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon
fennel seeds
1 teaspoon
Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground black pepper
4 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley
lasagna noodles
16 ounces
ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon
3/4 pound
mozzarella cheese, sliced
3/4 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
Excellent and Authentic recipe! A little more work and ingredients, but well worth it. Use FRESH basil for more flavor - I use about 1/2 - 2/3 cup fresh chopped basil. It cooks down and is sooo aromatic. The mix of sausage and beef is sublime, so no need for more salt. I always add a dash of nutmeg to the ricotta mixture (an old italian secret!). I usually make this a day ahead for the flavors and herbs to meld in the fridge then let it sit at room temperature for about 1 hour before baking. Have made for company too, and always get RAVES on it's authenticity. Great, winter comfort food and feeds a lot of people. Another tip for lasagna makers - no need to wash another pot to boil noodles. Soak raw, hard noodles in a large bowl of very hot tap water for 20-30 min. Noodles won't be cooked but soft, and can complete it's cooking in the oven. I learned this from a caterer - try it!
I was so disappointed with this lasagna! I won't be using this recipe again. With such a high rating, I thought it would taste better. I followed the recipe exactly, except that I only used 1/3 of the salt called for. (One serving of the original recipe is almost a full daily allowance of sodium.) It was still too salty. It tasted like something you'd buy in the freezer section at the grocery store. Why waste all that time making it at home if it doesn't taste any better than the manufactured stuff and isn't any healthier? There also seemed to be too much sauce and not enough of the ricotta mixture or mozzarella. Suggestions: 1. Leave out the added salt altogether. There's already enough salt in the sausage, parmesan and canned tomato products to season everything. 2. Drain the meat after browning and before adding anything else. All that saturated fat does nothing to improve the flavor. 3. Use oregano instead of Italian seasoning and leave out the fennel. Italian sausage already has fennel in it. 4. Leave out one of the cans of tomato paste. The condensed tomato flavor was so strong it drowned out the spices. 5. Use a full 16-oz block of mozzarella, and grate it instead of slicing it. You'll get more even coverage. 6. Double the ricotta mixture (ricotta, egg, parsley). 7. (Optional) Replace the 1/2 cup of water with 1/2 cup of red wine, preferably chianti or cabernet sauvignon.

I made this recipe using some tips and tricks from previous reviewers and from my experience having worked in an italian restaurant. This recipe does not have to be as time intensive as is recommended in the instructions. As another reviewer noted, it is not necessary to cook the noodles--just soak them in hot water while you are cooking the rest of the ingredients. You also do not need to cook the sauce. Sounds bizarre, but it's true. If you make the lasagna ahead and leave it in the fridge overnight, the flavors blend perfectly, no cooking required. For a chunkier tomato sauce, I subbed 1/2 of the crushed tomatoes with diced italian-flavored tomatoes. I layered everything in this order: sauce-noodles-ricotta mixture-sauce-meat-shredded mozzerella...i did 3 layers like this and then finished with a layer of noodles, sauce and shredded mozzerella and a generous sprinkling of parmesean on top. Following this method, I had the whole thing put together and in the fridge in less than an hour. It sat overnight and my husband had it in the oven when I got home from work. Fantastic recipe!
WOW! This really is World's Best Lasagna! From reading all the reviews, I made these changes: Added an additional 1/2 pound of ground meat, omitted the salt, doubled the onions, all the spices, the parsley, canned tomatoes, paste, and sauce. I also doubled the filling ingredients and made three layers instead of two. Everyone raved about the lasagna and I have sauce left over for another use.
SIDE NOTE: For anyone who thinks they don't like ricotta cheese: Buy it at an Italian market. Brands such as Sierra or Polly-O. There is no comparison to the taste or texture of supermarket brands. I think that's why I see recipes with regular cottage cheese instead of riccota. I don't use supermarket riccota under any circumstances, it's just plain nasty!
I've convinced 3 (now-ex) boyfriends, my husband, and even a couple Italian friends at school that I make the most incredible lasagna they've ever tasted with this recipe. I make it pretty much as shown, except if I have the time, I let the sauce simmer on the stove as long as possible. I also add a bit of whatever red wine I have on hand to the sauce. And I try to make a double recipe, so I can use the sauce for other things - it works wonderfully for Chicken Parmesan, plain ol' spaghetti, and anywhere else you'd use a red sauce.
Everything tastes better the second day, too. Oh, one more thing - I never boil my noodles. I simply buy regular dried noodles, and make sure I have plenty of sauce in the lasagna. It cooks long enough that the noodles boil in the oven, and you end up with a lasagna that isn't runny and holds its shape well.
I read all the reviews and really followed "Cookerbob"'s advise. Here's what I changed: used 1 lb. LEAN gr. beef, tripled the garlic, reduced sugar to 1 T., reduced salt to 1 t., used 9 lasagna noodles per pan and used 1 pound mozzarella (shredded) cheese per pan. I read the reviews about omitting the fennel and I have to disagree. I believe the fennel is one of the ingredients that makes this dish outstanding. <p>
I made the sauce the day before and simmered for 6+ hours. Sounds like a lot of work, but come on! How hard is it to check a pot simmering??! I had enough sauce for 2 pans of lasagna, so that's what I did. Made 2, baked one and froze the other. I just finally made my frozen one yesterday. I allowed it to thaw in the fridge overnight and then baked as directed. Just as delicious as the first batch!!! My hubby is a lasagna snob and says this is the best lasagna recipe ever. I totally agree!
I quadrupled this recipe for 32 men, and it went over so well ... they came back for seconds, and asked for the recipe for their wives ... now how many men do you know that ask for a recipe? I made a few changes to this recipe based on past reviews and am glad I did ... here are my suggestons ... use fresh whole wheat lasagna noodles (found in the deli dept.) ... no need to cook them and they come in sheets ... make 3 layers for lasagna dish ... therefore, you would require 8 fresh lasagna sheets ... I had to read through a lot of reviews to figure out what to do with the italian sausage, as it doesn't explan in the recipe how to cook that ... what you do is buy mild italian sausages (couldn't find sweet italian sausage and I understand through most reviews that most people can't) ... you then remove the casing around the sausage, remove the meat and fry the meat until cooked in a frying pan ... instead of using 1 tbsp. salt in the sauce, I used 1 tsp. ... and it was perfect ... I suggest going with your taste ... same thing with the sugar ... go with your personal taste ... the layers were a little difficult to figure out so here is what works ... make 3 layers ... first layer is meat sauce, noodles, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese ... 2nd layer is meat sauce, noodles, ricotta cheese mixture (add a little nutmeg for taste), parmesan cheese ... 3rd layer is meat sauce, noodles, mozzarella cheese, and parmesan cheese ... defiitely add the fennel seeds ... gives great f
This was very good. It didn't fit in my 9 x 13 pan, but worked out fine by placing part of the ingredients in a loaf pan. Caution: skip the tablespoon of salt! (Have you EVER heard of a recipe that calls for a full tablespoon?) Between the cheeses and the canned tomato products, no additional salt was needed. This recipe would easily be a base for your favorite additions: spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, etc. Other reviewers were absolutely correct: plan to make this the day before serving. It makes all the difference in the blending of flavors and incredible taste. I served this with homemade cheese bread and a crisp green salad.

What will happen to us next? Where is our next phenotypic evolutionary change? And what will it look like?
We always learn about evolution, and the origin of species and what not, but what is our next evolutionary step? Evolution is always talked about as favorable changes to a said environment, but can you have de-evolution? Are we, as humans evolving anymore or possibly getting somewhat worse in a sense as we evolve our teachnologies. Regardless what would our species look like 1000 years from now? 10,000? 1 million?
Apr 4 2013: I think because of the population size of Humans it's very difficult to know how we will evolve. Evolution comes from a positive adaptation causing a species to be a better competitor physically and being a more attractive mate, we as Human beings don't really compete on a physical scale any more and for a gene to be passed through the whole of Humanity would take thousands of years in itself.Apr 11 2013: Regardless of whatever terms you want to use, we cant escape the fact that we are changing organic beings, and always will be. But as far as we know it now evolution has always been directed by nature, now we have the ability to be the driver in the evolutionary car. Change environments and genes to create whatever we want. We are always changing, and in different ways. Its not always about size, or looks either. For instance look into the world of sports. 50 years ago if you took the average size and weight of a football team it would not compare at all to its present day counter part. Is that not some sort of change? In another 50 years will we watch sports center and consider a 6'7 250 lb tight end to be too small and undersized to play in the pros? And as this type of "sport evolution" is happening, what else is going on? We are not focused on just one thing as a species. Maybe it is possible that in a number of years humans will not just be seen as a one breed tpye of species, possibly we will be like cats. Some have evolved in different ways, there are cats built for speed and agility, some are built for stealth, other pure strength and power. Going back to the sports view, as time goes on young athletes have more and more odds agaisnt them to reach the pros, years and years ago there was a more level playing field, now the competition is so great that the chances of making it to the big leagues has dimished. In the future as we continue to change what if some people have been built for use of technology and brain functioning, where as others have developed more physical capabilities. Now a days one of these can be expressed as say the top student in their class, while the other would be middle of the pack educationally yet number one when they step on the field. Yet the thing is in our society we dont just mate with these certain traits that match ours, we mix and match, people built for smarts mate with people built for physical needs, so where are we going?Apr 8 2013: Are you unaware of what you forgot? Chips and batteries have experienced new technology; the brain is still put together the same old way. Unless something like VLSI could happen in brains - why would that be? Also, intelligence is not condusive to large numbers of children. Are you saying the Octamom is an example of the new supermind? Guys I have met with many kids by different moms seem concerned about state efforts to make them pay to support their kids.Apr 8 2013: I think as a pervasive rational/logical understanding of things diffuses throughout the world, all traits of aggressiveness will be lost and people will become much more passive.
With increased passiveness, it is only a matter of time before the whole world is united.Apr 8 2013: Check out The Intelligent Optimist - The Consciousness Conversations. The Intelligent Optimist magazine and website, formerly called Ode, addresses the next step in evolution as a transformation in awareness, not more of the same.Apr 6 2013: as a father now and from the generation that i grew up in I'm seeing a lot of big "changes" or "evolving" or "adapting" no matter your word play in the last generation we have changed a lot! Evolving or adapting is all about getting the girl and procreate. In my generation it was all about big strong guys physical stature got the girls it didn't matter if they were idiots as long as the were big and strong and could push the plow or lift the car. Now all of a sudden for the first time probably ever size of body means nothing now its about the fast thinker the geek the programer thanks to people like Gates its the little geek with the fast brain that's desirable look around you and you will see what I meanApr 6 2013: Our brains are smaller than some earlier humans. Someone will tell me it's more complicated than that and that a little computer is better than a big computer with the same technology? Read Big Brain the book first. Why would we get better and why would we have to get better? Evolution does not always mean bigger or better. Lord knows what will be most important. Bigger ears - better to hear others talking about you. Better tolerance of high fructose corm syrup. Who knows? How about better tolerence of heat and pollution, etc.?
Ben Story
Apr 8 2013: You are correct. Think about technology. The size of phones has decreased dramatically, yet the processing power and battery life have improved substantially. I believe that this is what is happening with the brain.

We have to evolve an instinct to avoid "invalid happiness".
Otherwise, we can not survive soon.

It doesnt work that way. one outside force that can cause a genetic mutation are gama ray bursts. if earth happen to catch a lil gamma from a collapsed star juss b4 it turns into a neutron star we'd all be green and ticked off all the time..jk

That way we can once and for all live in peace and unity and not harm one another!!Apr 4 2013: Economics will be governing the 'next'. Phenotypic evolution is only relevent if we can avert a Malthusian collapse. This may help.
http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-28/markets/30564226_1_population-infinity-growthApr 4 2013: Evolution involves adapting to a changing environment. It would be impossible to predict evolution without knowing the future environment. So far, futurism is not much more accurate than astrology.
We do know that the back and the knees could be improved upon.Apr 4 2013: Evolution happens over eons, but within the next few generations we'll take control over our own genome with technology. so we'll become whatever we want and whatever we can imagine.Apr 4 2013: Could we reasonably consider evolution as creation in slow motion?
Who among all humans beings are capable of accurately describing the future of what humans cannot control?
it's good to imagine, but being non-omniscient humans we are relegated to the opinions-only section of observers!Apr 4 2013: We don't 'evolve', we only adapt. We will continue to adapt to changing circumstances, but will remain as human as we always were.
Apr 4 2013: y dont we evolve? all species evolve at some point in time.what would make us special besides our capacity for tools and writing?
Apr 4 2013: because evolution would debunk Peter's biblical beliefs that humans were the first species to be here with a special purpose endowed by God
Apr 4 2013: as far as im concerned the universe was endowed by god for the purpose of life to perpetuate itself.were just the present day form on our little spot of paradise.Apr 4 2013: Right,
Well in that case I have nothing more to add. After all who am I to question God
Apr 4 2013: thats what your suppose to do. me personally, I dont put all my faith in the bible. i do believe in jesus .i think adam and eve is a deep metaphore for humans. I accept sciences explanation of the universe but theres obviously much more depth to this rabbit hole so i dont put all my faith in what most scientists would tell me with certainty about what is and what isnt.Apr 5 2013: Hi Nathan.
Looking around, I see nothing evolving into anything else. Some scientists think we did in the past, some don't. There is no hard evidence, only opinions.
Difficult to see why you would put faith in Jesus, but not in the bible. Jesus trusted the bible.
Apr 5 2013: you don't see it because you are indifferent to the idea. its a nonstop process who's effectsl can only be seen over great expanses of time.Apr 4 2013: is there any evidence of physical alterations since the first homosapiens began.Apr 4 2013: Human nature does not evolve. Habits, capabilities and physical characteristics evolve, but the human heart is unchanged from generation to generation. Only love can change a heart from stone to flesh. God is love [First John 4:8-KJV The Holy Bible].
Apr 4 2013: For some reason your answer lifted my spirits......Thank you Ed.

Detention for Dangerous Speech?
In his discussion of the Administration's policies of detention at Guantanamo Bay, Eric Posner offers a far broader defense of detaining people without the criminal procedure protections of the Bill of Rights in a wide range of different circumstances. Posner's main thesis is controversial enough. But in the middle, he offers the following rather surprising statements about the First Amendment: Although in 1969 the Supreme Court held that under the First Amendment governments can ban only speech that would cause "imminent" harm-- like incitement to riot-- it remains an open question whether this standard is workable in an age of global terrorism exemplified by the Sept. 11 attacks. Less restrictive tests applied in earlier cases could be resurrected if the United States created a similar statute to counter the modern wave of terrorism. But there is a good reason why our free speech doctrine has developed the way it has: if the government is not required to prove that subversive speech imposes a danger of imminent and serious harm, government will tend to use its power to punish people it deems subversive for political reasons. Government will tend to punish people it deems "subversives" not because they pose a real danger but in order to squelch dissent or to find easy scapegoats to punish. For example, the Wilson Administration arrested and imprisoned Eugene V. Debs for making an anti-war speech. Debs' conviction was upheld by the Supreme Court (in an opinion by Justice Holmes) using the older doctrines that Posner refers to. If Posner is suggesting that we return to the speech restrictive doctrines of World War I and the McCarthy Era, this is one reform that we can do quite well without.

If Posner is suggesting that we return to the speech restrictive doctrines of World War I and the McCarthy Era, this is one reform that we can do quite well without.
Did anyone else notice that while Posner analogizes to other situations where people may be detained on a finding of "dangerousness", he completely skips over the fact that in those situations, there is an ADJUDICATION that the person is dangerous (e.g., commitment hearing, arraignment, immigration hearing) which is subject to judicial review?
His argument assumes everyone in Guantanamo is dangerous, and then says that we can detain anyone who is dangerous. That might justify a hypothetical detention system operated by a President who actually takes his oath of office seriously, but it does not justify the actual policies of Bush, which include fighting any judicial review and asserting the position that we can detain combatants without any showing of dangerousness.
The reference to Debs and Justice Holmes brought to mind the latter's statement in the Schenck (1919) decision he authored that falsely yelling fire in a crowded theater is not protected by the First Amendment's speech clause. While that statement had (and still does have) merit, the facts in Schenck (nor Debs) did not come close to its wisdom. Schenk was not in a crowded theater. He was not yelling "fire" or anything similar thereto. He was not falsely stating something. Rather, he expressed his view in writing in pamphlets he prepared and distributed on the street that he disagreed with the US view on conscription, etc, as the country was entering into WWI, urging young men to object to conscription, etc. In a later decision within a year of Schenck by which time hostilities had lightened, Holmes seemed to pull back from Schenck somewhat. But I guess Holmes, perhaps like Eric Posner today, was caught up with the fears of the times and baldly supported the government's position. Perhaps Posner looks under his bed for terrorists every evening before going to sleep and then dreams of Sen. Joe McCarthy.
Posner justifies Guantanamo as a POW camp. Fine, I think few people have problems with POW camps. Buth then the inmates should be treated as POWs, with all the Geneva Convention protections that pertain -- including, if I'm not mistaken, formal determination whether they were/are in fact combatants...
"Should any doubt arise as to whether persons, having committed a belligerent act and having fallen into the hands of the enemy, belong to any of the categories enumerated in Article 4, such persons shall enjoy the protection of the present Convention until such time as their status has been determined by a competent tribunal."
Wasn't the 1918 Sedition Act repealed in 1921, after DEBS v. U S? Again, my apologies since I didn't get to the NTY article (not a subscriber), but was Posner referring to both Sedition acts? How often does something have to be repealed to go away? Doesn't a repeal mean that a law didn't survive? Or does he mean to hold that a law can be considered to have survived judicial scrutiny even if it has been rejected? Makes one wonder if such a thing would hold legal water - if precedent established on repealed law can still survive.
And as if right on cue, JB, the Weekly Standard chimes arguing that the NYTimes is a security treat:
The detainees have their status determined by military tribunals which is in accordance with the 3rd Geneva Convention (although the US says they aren't POWs). There is a long history confirming that military tribunals are competent tribunals (at the least for the US).
Nevertheless, the military tribunal reviews only happened after several years of complaints.
Whats your point?
Article III is only pertinent to POWs. I was merely making the point that the Bush administration is following part of the 3rd Convention in regards to these enemy combatants by giving them military tribunals to determine their status. (Despite the fact the 3rd convention only applies to POWs and to nations that fulfill the 4(?) requirements).
Jacob, are you saying that holding any tribunal, regardless of what the rules of evidence, standards and burdens of proof, and other procedural rules are satisfies the provisions of the Geneva Conventions? (IE, if the tribunal determines status by a coin toss, has geneva been satisifed?)
If you are not saying that there are no standards, then your answer has implicit within it the assertion that the tribunals that have been conducted for GTMO prisoners meet whatever standards there might be. Are you really prepared to defend that ground?
The whole editorial is specious. For one thing, it is built on some strawman that critics do not think dangerousness is a relevant factor in detention.
Thus, he raises various situations, such as commitment to a mental institution, where it is relevant. Dilan's point is but one way to address the issue.
Ditto the idea that critics want the detainees to have full-fledged constitutional rights ... the categories he lists, however, warrant more procedural protections than those in Gitmo are offered by the gov't.
I especially liked his argument that criminal defendants in various instances have their sentences in part based on their dangerousness. Sure, but a major point of the debate is that the people in Gitmo (et. al.) aren't getting anywhere as near the securities of said defendants.
To use his words, the "emotional" attractiveness of his argument is clear -- for some people at least -- but the reasoning in no way matches our legal traditions.
First, nothing in my argument suggested that "flipping a coin" would suffice.
Second, the military tribunals follow their own very rigid sets of rules. Obviously, they allow certain types of evidence, for example battlefield evidence, that aren't handled in normal civilan courts.
The Geneva convention "competent tribunal" is actually a fairly loose term (but obviously must meet some basic fairness/justice standard) that our military tribunals have always been understood to satifsy.
Further, just because they aren't as strict as a civilan court does not mean they still aren't fair and just. For example, if the burden of persuasion is lowered from beyond any reasonable doubt to a preponderance of the evidence for a tribunal that does not mean that the alleged enemy combatants are not still getting a fair trial.
Btw, I apologize for interrupting this echo chamber. I just think you would all appreciate having a lightweight contrarian viewpoint in here. :)
Now to bring in some heavy hitters...
That's why I asked it in the form of a question -- because you hadn't said that a coin toss would be adequate.
That the tribunals have procedures is obvious enough, that these procedures can be considered fair is the whole enchilada, and a point you seem willing to take completely on faith.
Forget about "battlefield evidence" for a minute, whatever that is. (A great majority of prisoners are not from battlefield surrenders anyway). If a prisoner identifies a witness said to be willing to offer exculpatory evidence, does the tribunal have on obligation to allow the witness to testify? Does it matter whether or not the witness is in US custody? Does the prisoner have the right to know who is accusing him of wrongdoing? Does he have the right to cross-examine the accuser? Suppose the accuser is someone with whom the prisoner has a dispute, unrelated to the war -- should that be admissible? These are not insignificant points.
You or I can postulate rules for a tribunal that nearly everyone on earth would agree are fair. The fact that fair rules are imaginable, however, says nothing at all about whether fair rules have been promulgated, or fair rules applied. And without the latter two points, it seems that even you, contrarian that you are, would not argue that Geneva was met.
Fair enough. I dont know the details of the military tribunals. But from what I understand about our military justice system in general - it is considered one of the fairest in the world (as far as that goes).
As long as the military tribunals for the detainees are conducted in a similiar fashion to the normal tribunals (whatever that is), then i'm satisfied. This does though raise one hiccup. I cant really find much information one or another on whether the actual tribunals for detainees follows the military's normal rules or if not, how much the rules are loosened up.
I'm more than open to information. [Caveat] preferably from a centrist organization. I'm rather skeptical of organizations like the "National Lawyer's Guild" etc.
"Echo chamber"?
Wow, if this feels like any kind of chamber for you, Jacob, then thank your tender nuts that you're not in "isolation" at Guantanamo.
Charley, on the question of whether Muslim detainees are being treated fairly, you're going way too far.
No matter what lengths we go to, the world is not going to accept the US' word.
Jacob knows this, so he cynically abdicates reason, parroting the Executive's claims, in order to protect the president in his reach beyond Justice.
His is the sort of rhetoric that brings hell on Isreal.
If you don't know how the tribunals have been operating, it's not hard to find out. They have certainly not been conducted under the UCMJ -- and if they had been, there would be little controversy about the whole thing. (You don't have to take my word for this -- just look at the briefs for the US that argue they don't have to follow the UCMJ).
You might read some of the CSRT transcripts out there. It's only part of the story, because to get the decision you'd have to look at the classified file. I think this is a problem, keeping the process secret from interested civilians, but YMMV.
Judge Green's decision from January 2005 is pretty good from a descriptive point of view, even if you don't agree with her on the law. The DC Circuit decision on appeal will be out in a short while (everyone presumes they're waiting for Hamdan, maybe tomorrow) but it'll focus, I'd imagine, not on whether the CSRT procedures are fair, but whether they have to be fair.
The questions I pose in my last comment are not random: prisoners were given the opportunity to designate witnesses, but few if any witnesses were called -- there was a Boston Globe story on this in the past week or so. [I've not reviewed closely any more than the 3 files for my clients: two classified one not. None of the witnesses they requested were "available" and the efforts that were gone through to make this determination were pretty embarrassing.] Confrontation is completely lacking in CSRTs, but an essential part of a UCMJ trial.

Ranked No. 22 in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, the School of Nursing's graduate nursing programs continue to grow in size and prestige.The report, issued in January, is based on the results of peer-assessment surveys that were sent to deans, administrators and faculty at accredited nursing degree programs in the United States. Specifically interested in measuring the academic quality of online graduate nursing programs, the report lists the schools with the highest averages.
"Certainly, being ranked as one of the country's top 25 graduate nursing programs speaks volumes about the quality of our graduate degree programs, but more importantly, I think the success of our alumni speaks even louder," said Dr. Marcia Rachel, School of Nursing associate dean for academic programs.
Doctoral Alumni Highlight Educational BenefitsWhile alumni of each of the school's graduate programs have long had a track record of success, the Ph.D. in Nursing program's graduates, perhaps, have some of the most storied accomplishments."After completing the Ph.D. program, I received a scholarship to pursue additional training in New Zealand—an amazing professional and personal development opportunity," said 2006 Ph.D. in Nursing graduate Dr. Fleetwood Loustalot, team lead for the CDC's Division for Heart Disease and Prevention's Epidemiology, Surveillance and Health Services team."The training further qualified me for a competitive fellowship at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now on staff at the CDC, I draw on the foundational training that I received at UMMC daily," he said. "As the only academic health sciences center in Mississippi and home of the region's state-of-the-art basic science nursing lab, our Ph.D. students have rich resources to develop their optimal career trajectories," said Dr. Mary Stewart, director of the Ph.D. in Nursing program. "Because of faculty mentoring and commitment to rigorous, relevant research, our graduates are able to assume leadership roles that influence nursing care across the nation."Indeed, the unique research opportunities available to School of Nursing students draw applicants from across the Southeast and, in turn, allow students to develop their own research programs and gain experience in research methods.Dr. Anita Mitchell, associate clinical professor at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Nursing, graduated from the Ph.D. in Nursing program in 2003. Since then, she has regularly utilized the education and research she obtained in the doctoral program."I was seeking a program based within a medical center so that there were more programs available for clinical research, and I wanted a program that had face-to-face classes instead of all online classes. I also knew that the University of Mississippi has a reputation for high quality in graduate education," said Mitchell, who teaches both master's and Ph.D. nursing students while also coordinating with her institution's neonatology department's research efforts.Like the Ph.D. program, the Doctor of Nursing Practice program offers a combination of online and in-person classes and is kept intentionally small while continuing to receive more applicants than it has available slots, and like the Ph.D. program, the DNP program offers working nurses part-time and full-time plans of study while also providing them with supportive, nurturing faculty mentors who are leaders in their fields.For that reason, the DNP program was a perfect fit for 2012 DNP graduate Dr. Jennifer McCaffery, a medical service/cardiology nurse practitioner at the G.V. Sonny Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson, Miss."The best part of my DNP experience was the interaction with colleagues," she said. "Our small class size and face-to-face meetings allowed us to become a really close group that supported each other both in our academic pursuits but more importantly, after graduation as colleagues.""The faculty treated me like a peer. They encouraged me to reflect on my strengths and weaknesses so that we could formulate a learning plan that made sure I had all the tools I needed to be successful upon graduation. The program challenged me to grow, but I never felt that I was without the support that I needed," McCaffery said.While the rigor of the two doctoral programs is undeniable, equally undeniable are the programs' real-world applications. "The education I received in my Ph.D. program has made it possible for me to carry out successful research programs in my field. I have used every piece of information I learned on how to carry out research, but probably the greatest benefit has been the ability to analyze, interpret and think critically. These are priceless skills that were truly enhanced during my doctoral education," Mitchell said."The Doctor of Nursing Practice program has taken my advanced nursing practice to the next level, especially in terms of effective advocacy for and care of patient populations," said Dr. Molly Moore, 2012 DNP graduate and School of Nursing assistant professor.Moore uses the skills she learned in the DNP program in her day-to-day interactions with patients at the school's local nurse practitioner-run clinic at Johnson Elementary, as well as in the education she passes on to the next generation of RNs."In addition to enhancing my own personal knowledge-base, the DNP program granted me the ability to provide a more effective level of care to the people of Mississippi," Moore said.Advancements, Accolades Follow MSN Grads100 percent.This is the percentage of 2012 Family Nurse Practitioner and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner graduates who passed the national certification exams, which upon successful completion, award the nurse practitioner credential.However, the success doesn't stop with the School of Nursing's nurse practitioner tracks. Across the board, all six MSN tracks—Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator, Nursing and Health Care Administrator and Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner—are seeing both growth in their applicant pools, as well as augmented respect associated with the students graduating from them.Amber Arnold began the MSN program's Nursing and Health Care Administrator track as a nurse manager for UMMC and was promoted to patient safety officer afterwards. Estelle Watts graduated from the Nursing and Health Care Administrator track and went on to accept a position with the Mississippi Department of Education, where she now oversees the state's school nurses. These are just two stories exemplifying the upward mobility and career advancement opportunities presented to the administrator track's graduates.Students, like Arnold and Watts, are already reaping the benefits of their education from the School of Nursing, but they also will be the first to tell you that U.S. News and World Report's No. 22 national ranking only reaffirmed what they already knew."No surprise to me," Arnold said.The ranking, which speaks to online graduate nursing programs, encompasses not only the Nursing and Health Care Administrator, but also the Nurse Educator, Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner, something that affords students great flexibility, without sacrificing quality or individualized faculty support. They are also tracks that offer students significant professional growth and versatility."The flexibility of the program was a perfect fit for me, a busy working mother and wife," she said.Recognition as one of the country's top online graduate nursing programs was also no shock to Eloise Lopez-Lambert, who upon completing the online Nurse Educator track, was promoted to the position of UMMC nurse residency coordinator."The education and mentoring I received at the University of Mississippi School of Nursing have equipped me to empower the next generation of nurses with critical thinking, leadership and professional nursing skills," Lopez-Lambert said.Similarly, the real-world applications of the Nursing and Health Care Administrator track resonate with Arnold. "My graduate nursing degree has helped me consider broad implications when facing challenges and difficult decisions in my profession," Arnold said. "It has also inspired confidence in those decisions, knowing that I will continue to learn daily from the circumstances surrounding me."For more information about the School of Nursing's graduate programs, please visit www.umc.edu/son.

I mean, peak Ryder would easily have a shot at anyone's fantasy rotation, but as an actor she wasn't doing anything that thousands of other winsome, perfectly formed young women couldn't.
***and once you get in, it's like a club. A big reason Kristen Stewart is a star is that she's reliable. She started very young, she knows the routines, and she shows up. It's one reason why mainstream acting can be so damnably ordinary. We get stuck with the ones who got in as kids and proved they were reliable. Stewart, Kirstin Dunst, Shia LaBoeuf, and hundreds more mediocrities all got early starts.
I'm right in the target age range for people who were supposed to have crushes on Winona Ryder. And while she's undoubtedly attractive, I can't say that I or any of my friends ever had any sort of thing for her. Tiffany Amber-Thiessen and Nicole Eggert were much more common objects of fantasy from what I recall.
If comedy is a real art, why are so few comedies in Top 100 film lists? And other than an unfortunate musical soundtrack why isn't Groundhog Day, or Tootsie for that matter, on any lists? Both are at least as good as Some Like It Hot, which I've always thought was badly hurt by Jack Lemmon's grating performance.
Dr. Edward Blis, Jr, a chiropractor by day, moonlights as a professional wrestler at night. His wrestling name is the Naked Man and he wears a naked body suit when wrestling. After his parents are killed by Sticks Varona, a cripple with crutches which double as machine guns, and an Elvis Presley impersonator, he loses his sanity. He adopts the persona of his wrestling character and goes on a rampage of revenge
or had a remake of the Shirley McClain vehicle, Gambit, almost ready for release.
my pre-1970 contenders for top 100 placement are limited to The Lion in Winter, Dr. Strangelove, His Girl Friday, Ikiru, and North by Northwest.

7:30 PM - Live from WBGO Studios, Our Election Coverage...
November 4, 2008. Posted by Daniel Karcher.Add new comment | Filed under: News
Greetings all, and welcome once again to the WBGO Blog. Most of you may know me as the host of Sunday Morning Harmony, and many of you may know me as WBGO's full-time fill-in announcer. It's the second "title" that brings me here tonight; being in for Awilda Rivera. However, this evening is obviously not a traditional evening here at Jazz 88. Awilda's not here, and I'm not on air.
Why? So we may bring you around the clock coverage of the election. Thus, I am taking this opportunity to not spin tunes for you, rather - give you a taste if what it's like here as the WBGO news team goes full throttle and to give you a behind the scenes look at what and how they do so as you listen.
If you're listening (hopefully you are. click the "listen now" button above, eh!), WBGO's Andrew Meyer is your host this evening, as he's joined by Seton Hall political analyst Joe Marbach.
Also on board we have Monica Miller as she covers the McCain campaign from Robbinsville. Terry Sheridan is with the Obama campaign as well as the Lautenberg campaign in New Brunswick, NJ. Mary Fuchs covers Dick Zimmer in Bridgewater, as does Jim Crimaldi covers Leonard Lance also from Bridgewater. Jen Poyant is covering Linda Stender from Clark and Eugene Sonn is in Mount Laurel covering John Adler.
Earlier today, WBGO's Program Director sent me a few images taken at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Montclair.
I'll be posting images and video from here at WBGO throughout the night as election results get underway!
It's Election Day, Get Out And Vote!
November 4, 2008. Posted by Andrew Meyer.Add new comment | Filed under: Elections, News, Places and Spaces, Real Life Stories, WBGO Community Events
Usually, going to vote at my polling station in Glen Ridge doesn't take a whole lot of time, a matter of minutes. It's an in and out affair. This morning, it was a very different story.
From the time I walked in the door at the Linden Ave School, it took me a half hour! Everyone seemed good-natured about the wait, which I was told by poll workers had been as long as 45 mintues earlier. All I can say is it's great to see so many people getting out and taking care of their civic duty!
Looking for the latest information on the elections? You can find it on our website. Also tune in tonight beginning at 8pm as WBGO and NPR bring you wall-to-wall coverage of the results of Election 2008!

The Return of Salsa Meets Jazz
November 3, 2008. Posted by Vincent Bochis.Add new comment | Filed under: awilda, baritone saxophonist, bleecker, bobby sanabria, camero, chris washburne, folktales, greenwich village, guest artist, impresario, Jazz Alive, jazz classics, jazz returns, larry harlow, latin jazz, le poisson rouge, Notes, ronnie cuber, section members, tin tin deo, trombonist, virtuosity
Last month, Salsa Meets Jazz returned to Greenwich Village. The show was held at Le Poisson Rouge, located at the site of the old Village Gate, at Bleecker and Thompson, where Salsa Meets Jazz originated in the 1980's.Bobby Sanabria's nineteen piece juggernaut roared through two sets. The first set included new power arrangements of Latin jazz classics "Manteca" and "Tin Tin Deo." Selections from the band's latest album Big Band Urban Folktales included trombonist Chris Washburne's composition "Pink," which Sanabria described as a song that captures the sights in the city every summer. Trumpet great John Faddis' muscular virtuosity in "Tin Tin Deo" set the bar for the ozone-piercing trumpet work of the four regular section members. The defining rhythms of legendary guest artist, conguero Candido Camero, demonstrated that he continues, at the age of 87, to be a grand master who delights in connecting with the audience. Original Village Gate impresario Art D'Lugoff, who serves as a consultant to Salsa Meets Jazz and other productions, was on hand. WBGO's Awilda Rivera was the host for the evening.
On December 1, Salsa Meets Jazz returns to Le Poisson Rouge. Latin Jazz icon Larry Harlow and his orchestra will be joined by guest artist, the renowned baritone saxophonist Ronnie Cuber.

Recipe by Lisa K
"This cold asparagus dish is tender, tasty and easy to create. The zesty lemon and the salty prosciutto work perfectly together to add wonderful flavor and great presentation to a vegetable that many are cautious to try. I have had people who normally turn their noses up at asparagus thoroughly enjoy this side dish."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
fresh asparagus, trimmed
1 (3 ounce) package
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1 teaspoon
lemon zest
I know I'm the person who shared the recipe, but I wanted to share a few more things with you. First of all, if you like lemon, use more of the juice and zest. I know I usually do. Finally, if you want your asparagus super tender and you have the time and the patience, use a vegetable peeler and peel the asparagus (not the head) before you boil it. This especially works if your asparagus is very thick. If you are not sure where to cut off the bottom end of your asparagus, just grasp hold of the top and bottom of your stalk and bend it from the bottom until it breaks. The asparagus will break at the spot where the tough ends and the tender begins. Enjoy!
Not a favorite in our house, at all. Based on the rave reviews, I thought I'd serve this at Easter dinner, as a side to go with our lamb. Although the presentation was nice and everyone liked the cold asparagus, I noticed that everyone tossed the prosciutto (including me) and nobody went back for seconds, which left me with a lot of left-overs that we tossed. Disappointing. The meat was obviously a turn-off and even though I gave my asparagus a "bath" in lemon juice, it barely picked up any of the flavor. Note: if you decide to try it - make sure you barely blanche the asparagus. Based on another review, I kept mine in for almost 5 minutes and the tops turned to mush which didn't look very nice.
10 Ratings
This is great! I did make a few minor changes, I wrapped only 1 or 2 pieces of asparagus not 5 (we really like prosciutto) and I put the lemon on the asparagus before I wrapped them (more lemon flavor on the asparagus).
The simplicity of this recipe drew me to it, but the popularity of it to my Thanksgiving guest will bring me back. The lemon juice squeezed on top is the key to the flavor. I served it with some spears NOT wrapped in prosciutto, but guests ate both in equal proportion. Also, I found an accompanying sauce recipe from Everyday Food and altered it to fit my ingredients available - 1/2 cup greek yogurt, juice of one lemon and dried dill to taste. It was a hit!
Lisa is one of my best friends, and a great cook, so I knew I had to try these. I'm glad I did. These are awesome! My asparagus were pretty thin, so I only boiled them for about 3 minutes and then submerged them in an ice bath to stop the cooking. My Italian husband also raved about them. We will definitely be making these again. Lisa, you're the best! Thanks for the recipe dear friend!
Really delightful brunch recipe. Simple, bright, and elegant
I wasn't sure about the cold asparagus but, I will have to say that this recipe is wonderful. I fixed this dish without any changes as a side dish for Easter dinner and everyone loved it. So easy and so good. Thank you for the recipe. A nice do ahead dish with no last minute fussing around.
This is a perfect refreshing vegetable dish. Balanced just right between sweet, salty and citrus.

SweetwaterÔÇÖs historic Municipal Auditorium will host a live Broadway musical on Saturday evening, Feb. 19 at 7:30 p.m. when ÔÇťGodspellÔÇŁ takes the stage.
ÔÇťGodspellÔÇŁ is a production of Abilene High SchoolÔÇÖs drama department and choir, and is directed by Clay Freeman. Freeman was Sweetwater High SchoolÔÇÖs drama director in the 1970s and took Sweetwater students to second place in state theater competition in 1973.
ÔÇťGodspellÔÇŁ features Abilene High School students in live theater, music and dance. A live band accompanies the production. FreemanÔÇÖs production is a lively interpretation of the Broadway musical with highly talented student performers.
This is the only tour stop for the Abilene High School show, brought to Sweetwater because of FreemanÔÇÖs long-time connections to Sweetwater. Freeman produced ÔÇťGodspellÔÇŁ at the Municipal Auditorium in 1983 and also produced numerous summer theater events with local students in the 1970s as some of the earliest efforts to revitalize the Municipal Auditorium.
Saturday night, Feb. 19, will be the only performance here.
Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students. Tickets are available at the Sweetwater Chamber of Commerce and at the door. Tickets are also being distributed to area youth through churches and high school drama programs throughout the Rolling Plains by donations from sponsors. Active duty and recently deployed military and their families will be admitted for free.
Sponsors include Lawrence Brothers IGA Supermarkets, Double S Ranch, Texas TST, Rees Rees & Fuller Attorneys, Cox Jewelers, Sweetwater Chamber of Commerce, Sweetwater Rotary Club, Sweetwater Lions Club, Sweetwater Regional Federal Credit Union, Morgan Real Estate, McCoy Funeral Home, New Amsterdam Global Solutions LLC and the MayorÔÇÖs Youth Task Force.
Beneficiaries of the ÔÇťGodspellÔÇŁ performance include the Municipal Auditorium and area youth initiatives through the Nolan County Ministerial Alliance.

Charles Pic: "Monza's a great place to race F1 cars. It's so quick, the atmosphere is amazing (even though it's almost only Ferrari supporters out there!) and it's a track that has a lot of history, some of which you can see in the old banking on the way out of the track to remind you what it used to be like.
"It's our last race in Europe this year and it would be good to finish the European season on a positive. We'd put in strong performances in the three practice sessions in Spa but we were unlucky, both with the call to the weighbridge in Q1 and the oil leak in the race so Monza gives us a chance to move straight on and put that bad luck behind us.
"I'm in the simulator at Leafield before we arrive in Monza, so we'll have a chance to try a few setup options before we get to the track. We'll be running the low downforce package for this race and the main focus will be on finding a setup that gives us maximum straightline speed and a car that we can really attack the kerbs with. That's important for lap time, particularly in T3 and T7, as you need to be able to minimise the time in the corners by pushing the car over the kerbs, so having the right mechanical setup is crucial. We'll also be working a lot on braking stability - break wear and cooling are both pretty manageable at Monza, but it's important to have a car that's behaving consistently in the braking zones as that's where you can make up, and lose, time."
Giedo van der Garde: "Our last European race of the season is Monza, another classic Grand Prix venue and a track where I've won in both Formula Renault 3.5 and in GP2.
"After the last couple of races I'll go to Monza feeling positive about the next race and the rest of the season. The whole team had a lot of praise for what we did in Spa, particularly taking advantage of the conditions on Saturday, and it's good to see people understanding that what we're doing now is exactly what we said we would do this year - learn, improve and deliver the results we want. 14th in Hungary and both qualifying and the race in Spa show how the package is coming on and it's a good feeling for me and the whole team.
"Moving on to Monza - it's a track that could suit us in the fight with our nearest competitors. It's often hot and it's the quickest track of the year, one where we run very low downforce settings and that should suit our car. Last year the team was pretty competitive and we'll aim to make sure we are again. If it's not hot and we have anything like the conditions we did in Spa then we've shown we can take advantage of unpredictable weather, and even though another P3 in Q1 might be unlikely, we still know we can be bold and aggressive when there's a chance to surprise a few people. Maybe our next chance will be Monza - if not I'm sure there will be other races this year when we can show what we can do."

No and I hope it doesn't, that's who he is. Think about how close we were, if Victor Cruz doesn't make an incredible play and go 99 yds maybe we win the SB? The difference btw the Jets and Giants seasons were a play or two but congrats to the Giants and hopefully someday soon we'll get that trophy.
He is quiet cause of the foot that is in his mouth.
The difference between the 8-8 Jets and the 6-10 Dolphins were a play or two, not the Super Bowl Champs.
If Rex continues to be who he is, I don't think he will be a head coach much longer. Running your mouth and backing up what you say is one thing. Running your mouth and being proven wrong over and over is another. With the results of this past season and the comments he made about the Giants (with them going on to win another Super Bowl), his act has to be wearing thin. You even had some players on the team saying as much.
I love dolphin fans making fun of the Jets, that is comical. The best moment in recent dolphins history is Brandon scissorhands catching multiple TDs at the pro bowl and you guys are laughing at the Jets?

The Matterhorn will be celebrated in 2015. 150 years ago, on 14 July 1865, the first people stood on the summit. This is what is being celebrated – with the reopening of the Hörnlihütte, the Open-Air Theatre, an Epoch Week in July and many, many other festivities.
Experiences at the foot of a glacier, on a green alpine meadow, at an idyllic mountain lake. Is it to be an unforgettable mountain tour – in the face of the highest and most beautiful mountains in the alps? Or an excursion to comfortably get to the top of a mountain peak?
Zermatt is heaven for snow lovers. There are pistes for beginners, experts and everyone in between. Here in Europe's highest-altitude ski area, snow is guaranteed 365 days a year. For relaxation: winter hiking paths and snowshoe trails with views of the snowy Matterhorn.
Zermatt repeatedly wins awards for its eco-friendliness. Motorists park in Täsch to change onto a train: 5 km from Zermatt they enter a different world. In car-free Zermatt, everyone moves around on foot. Transport is by electric vehicle – and that goes for the police, too.
