Suffolk's Commitment to Diversity Creates Opportunity for Students
12/9/2009, 9:34 a.m.
(Article provided by advertiser for a special Career Advertorial Section in the Banner this week)
Suffolk University's location in the heart of downtown Boston says a lot about the school. A few steps from the golden-domed Massachusetts State house and a short walk to one of the world's leading financial districts, Suffolk sits at the intersection of government, business, education and technology. Students are literally surrounded by opportunity.
Just as important, Suffolk is one short block from the MBTA's Park Street station, the symbolic hub of the city's transportation system. Almost 9,600 undergraduate and graduate students converge on the Suffolk campus from every neighborhood in the metropolitan area, from across the country and from more than 95 nations around the world. The faces of Suffolk reflect true diversity — in race, ethnicity and religion, as well as economic, educational and career backgrounds. "Suffolk is a university of opportunity for all," says Judy Reynolds, Suffolk's director of graduate admission. "Every application we receive is absolutely unique. Every student has his or her own strengths, interests and goals. It is a privilege for us to help them move to the next level, whatever that may be."
Flexible choices
Recognizing the diversity of the student population, flexibility is a core value in Suffolk's graduate degree programs. Curricula and degree options are designed to accommodate students at different points in their careers — recent college graduates, mid-career professionals who seek additional academic credentials to advance in their field and working adults excited to explore completely new career directions.
Students can pursue degrees at their own pace through Suffolk's full- and part-time schedules. And with most courses offered in the evening, working students can balance the demands of career and education.
More than 70 graduate degrees are offered through Suffolk's College of Arts and Sciences and Sawyer Business School. Degree opportunities range from education and computer science to economics and political science; from ethics to crime and justice studies. The business school offers several MBA options, plus more focused degrees in finance, public administration, healthcare administration, taxation and accounting.
With the exception of the Ph.D. programs, applicants for graduate degrees need not have undergraduate degrees in the same discipline. For instance, an applicant with a degree in business or sociology can pursue an education degree and a new career as a teacher. Students who do hold undergraduate degrees in the same field are often able to reduce the number of courses and length of time required to complete their studies. Many applicants are surprised to find that standardized test scores are not required for application to some of Suffolk's graduate degree programs.
Extensive financial assistance
Attracting talented students to Suffolk is a priority for the school. This goal is expressed in many ways, including scholarships and financial assistance programs. Both merit and need-based funds are available. Loans are available for all degree programs. Suffolk is a direct lender and participates in all forms of federal financial aid.
"We understand financial aid is a major concern for all students," Reynolds says, "so we do everything we can to provide assistance. And our location and flexible scheduling make it easier for students to take classes while working full- or part-time."

Jake Myers is more than just a shooter
Expanding his all-around game is junior's goal
firstname.lastname@example.com 805-437-0274
Jake Myers is one of those basketball players who can — and will — shoot from anywhere. Case in point? His recent game against John Glenn in which he made eight 3-point shots.
"When I'm in a rhythm like that, I feel like I can shoot pretty much from anywhere within a couple of feet from half-court," the Moorpark High small forward said. "The rim just seems a little bigger. You get confidence when you've made a couple of shots. It's just a confidence-builder."
But Myers doesn't want to be known just as a long-distance gunslinger. He's more than willing to learn ways to become well-rounded.
"I like shooting the outside shot pretty good," Myers said, "but I don't like to classify myself as just that, just a shooter. I'm just trying to work on the other parts of my game as far as posting up, driving to the basket more and just try to not make myself one-dimensional.
"I'm open to anything that's going to help me out, and as long as it helps the team out, I'm up for anything."
Myers is averaging 15.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
He's shooting 49 percent from the floor (56 for 115) and 46 percent on 3-pointers (25 for 54).
Moorpark coach Eddie Gutierrez says Myers has a great attitude in regard to expanding his repertoire.
"He's become a solid all-around basketball player," Gutierrez said. "He's a great 3-point shooter, but his game has evolved and he's become a lot more well-rounded. He's rebounding very well for us this year, and he's learning to improve defensively.
"You can see that, and Jake has a willingness to be coached and he tries to do everything we ask him. He doesn't balk at everything. He's like, 'OK, is this going to help me get better? Will it help the team? What else do you need me to do?' He has a great attitude for that."
At 6 feet and 205 pounds, Myers has done well on following his coaches' advice on making him a more versatile player.
"We've asked him to do a little bit more since last spring," Gutierrez said. "He's really worked hard on that throughout the spring and summer and fall, and it's paying off for him now. He's got the post turnaround, he gets to the free-throw line by being aggressive, he grabs the basket. He does that much more frequently than he did last year, and of course, he's a tremendous outside shooter."
Even though Myers is just a junior, Gutierrez said he has become a team leader for the Musketeers.
"We have a lot of seniors, but I think Jake has become a very quiet leader," the coach said. "I think a lot of the kids look up to him. He has a great work ethic. He's been on varsity for a year, so I think he the kids who are juniors on our team look up to Jake. They know that he's been there, he's worked hard and had some success at the varsity level. They see that he's very humble; his family is great. I think the guys really gravitate toward him."
Myers has some personal goals for himself, but he said they come second to those of the team.
"For myself, maybe, to make All-CIF," he said, "but the first thing is for our team to win a Marmonte League championship at Moorpark. I think it's going to be a fun season for us. We've got a lot of talented guys that a lot of the other teams in our league don't know about. I think we have one of the deeper teams in league, so it should be fun."
Myers thinks Moorpark could very well have what it takes to do well in the Marmonte League and win a playoff spot.
"I think we can compete with any of these teams," he said. "There's a lot of good teams, and we're in a really good league. We're going to have to work hard, and I think we're going to find some success. We want to try and make the playoffs and try to go up from there."
Gutierrez sees Myers as a player with a lot of potential, one who is really starting to see things click for him.
"I think he's going to continue to evolve," Gutierrez said. "He's going to help us find ways to be successful. We hadn't been doing too well at the varsity level until we had a good year last year. I think Jake enjoyed being a part of that. He contributed a lot and I think he learned a lot from the seniors about the effort that it takes, and he's kind of stepped into that as well this year."
Nearly every player in high school wants to go on and continue in college, but Myers has a practical attitude about that.
"I would love to play college basketball, preferably (at a place) where I could get a scholarship, but whatever happens happens," he said. "My dream is I want to play Division I college basketball, but that said, I have a lot of work to do."

FISH TALES: Windy days continue on the Treasure Coast
PORT ST. LUCIE - Well, the windy days continue again this week on the Treasure Coast. We did get some much-needed rain finally. November continued to be a windy month for us, but you can always find someplace to fish. Water temperatures continue to fall into the low 70s and that means slowing down your lures to get the best opportunities. Fishing will be good throughout the month. Have some fun out there!
I made it out a few days recently when the winds weren't blowing like crazy. Norm, Nick and Neal joined me on a windy day. We hit a couple spots that were blowing too hard to fish and ended up back in the mangroves to try their luck. The guys came through with eight slot redfish up to 27 inches along with a dozen short snook and plenty of snapper to round out the morning. Nick ended the day on a high note with a 25-inch trout to give him a Treasure Coast slam. It was a fantastic morning. Don and Bernie were out on a breezy morning and it was difficult to find clean water. They caught fish when we did find the better water conditions.
With the cooler water around the area, look for trout to be in three to five feet of water. CAL jerk baits or DOA shrimp are great in these conditions. Work them very slowly for your best success on the trout. Fish the mangroves for redfish and snook with DOA shrimp or my favorite, CAL paddle tails. The 411 color in the paddle tail is a good bet on the redfish this time of year. There are still lots of snapper around the river. Most are small, but there are still plenty of keepers to be caught. Nighttime snook fishing around the jetties and bridges has been good for those using live bait, feather jigs or TerrorEyz. The pompano have started their trek into the area now and you should be hearing more about their whereabouts as they continue to arrive. The jacks and bluefish have been cruising around the river and inlet lately. It's been a productive month in spite of the windy days!
Snook season is winding down and will close on Dec. 15 so you still have a couple weeks to get that slot fish for dinner. The slow speed zone in the Fort Pierce channel between the north bridge and below the south bridge is in effect and you should remember that it is slow speed all winter through that area. We are fortunate to live in such a diverse fishing habitat and can enjoy the great fishing around the Treasure Coast. Do your part to keep it clean and take all your trash to a trash receptacle each time you are out on the water.
As always, remember, fishing is not just another hobby....it's an adventure!
Good fishing and be safe.

Blue Shield refuses to initially cover doctor-prescribed and FDA-approved treatments, instead requiring California patients in pain to try and fail on up to five medications before Blue Shield will cover the treatment initially prescribed by a doctor.
The result of this "fail first" policy is that members of minority and low-income communities are denied access to new and better medications, and that they experience prolonged pain and often deteriorating health.
When Blue Shield denies patients access to timely and effective treatment, those who need medicine for chronic pain - including Californians suffering from arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and fibromyalgia - are especially hurt. Many in the African American and Latino communities have diabetes, which includes DPN, a painful nerve condition. When Blue Shield requires those suffering from DPN to take medication that does not relieve our pain, more than our quality of life suffers.
When a mother suffering from DPN is forced to try multiple pain treatments that do not work, she often must miss work, and arrange childcare and travel, which threatens her livelihood and ability to provide for her family. It is not only unethical, but cruel, for Blue Shield to deny a patient access to a medicine the doctor knows will relieve their pain and to require the patient to go through multiple steps of taking drugs that don't work.
The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) adopted a policy in March 2009 that prevents health insurers like Blue Shield from requiring patients to take more than two medications before the insurer will cover the medicine that the doctors thinks is the best treatment. In addition, the new CMS regulations pr

Should we allow the case where, user creates a repo with a feed, syncs down the content and then tries to upload additional content to the same repo?Agree with Prad. Costs are too high as compared to gain. I vote for not allowing user to upload additional content to repo with a feed.Pros:* A user probably will have an easy time adding custom content to their repos without having to create new reposCons:* We need to regenerate metadata for the repo. Today we get the metadata for repos with feed directly from the feed. * Will need to worry about what version of RHEL/Fedora pulp is running on for compatible yum metadata. * For Red Hat repos, we probably dont want to allow this anyway. So we'll need some extra rules to bypass this.Overall seems like keeping uploads separate from feed repos is cleaner. User can always create a new repo, upload content and subscribe to both repos to get that additional content.
Lemme know your feedback. ~ Prad _______________________________________________ Pulp-list mailing list Pulp-list redhat com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/pulp-list

(October 7, 2015) – The City of Portland Bureau of Transportation advises the traveling public that street improvements will require lane closures on NE Cully Boulevard from NE Lombard Street/Portland Highway to NE Emerson Street starting Thursday, October 8, through Thursday, October 15, from 7 a.m. through 5 p.m. each work day.
The lane closures will allow crews to pave .8 lane miles of NE Cully Boulevard.
Streets with ground down surfaces are open for travel. Lane closures are only in effect during project hours. Access will be maintained for businesses and residents during the project.
The traveling public is advised to expect delays while repairs are being made. We ask the public to travel cautiously, observe all lane closures and directions by reader boards and flaggers, and use alternate routes if possible.
This work is weather-dependent and the schedule may change.

43.6 percent of trips to school in Portland are on foot or by bike
(Oct. 7, 2015) – On Wednesday, October 7, Commissioner Steve Novick, Portland Public Schools Board Member Mike Rosen, Portland Bureau of Transportation Director Leah Treat and other local dignitaries joined students and staff from Lent K-8 School in celebration of International Walk and Bike to School Day. Participants also celebrated ten years of PBOT's Safe Routes to School program successfully making walking and biking to school safer and easier for Portland students and families.
Since its inception in 2005, the Portland Safe Routes program has made impressive gains in increasing the number of students walking and biking to school. Starting with eight elementary partner schools in its first year, the program now serves over 100 elementary, K-8 and middle schools across 5 school districts and reaches over 40,000 students. The program will pilot its first high school programs this year.
Today 43.6 percent of trips to school in Portland are on foot or by bike, an increase of 35 percent from when the program began ten years ago. Thanks to the Safe Routes program, 33 percent of students walk to school, 9 percent bike and 1.6 percent roll. Nationally, the numbers are much lower with 12 percent of students walking and 1 percent biking.
"Thanks to our community partnerships, we have a created a nationally recognized Safe Routes to School Program that has inspired thousands of Portland students and families to regularly bike, walk and roll to school," said Transportation Commissioner Steve Novick. "Though we're exceeding national Safe Routes participation rates, we know that biking and walking to school is not a viable option in neighborhoods without sidewalks, bikeways and improved crossings. I'll continue to work hard to secure the resources to make needed infrastructure improvements so that families can safely walk and bike throughout all Portland neighborhoods."
"PPS loves Portland's Safe Routes to Schools Program because it guarantees that every student that wants to walk or ride their bike to school can get there safely," said Portland School Board Member Mike Rosen, "That makes for healthier kids and a healthier planet. We very much appreciate the Bureau of Transportation's wise and generous investment in our kids. Lent K-8 is a school that takes the health of our students and the planet very seriously. Whether they and their community volunteers are growing food for the school and community to eat in their on campus garden or they are providing free weekly bike repairs to all students, this community gets the connection between a healthy school and a healthy neighborhood."
"We're here to celebrate the incredible successes of Safe Routes to School, but there is still much more we are working to accomplish," said Transportation Bureau Director Leah Treat, "In the next ten years, we want to increase the number of Portland area students getting to school by foot, bike or bus to 75 percent. We want to engage our city's high school students as leaders on school transportation issues affecting youth. And we want all students across Portland have the opportunity to learn to navigate safely around their neighborhoods by bike."
Lent K-8 School has been a long-standing partner of the Portland Safe Routes to School program, joining the effort in 2007. The Safe Routes program teaches Lent 2nd graders pedestrian safety skills every winter and provides 10 hours of hands-on bike safety instruction to 4th and 5th graders each spring. The school has been the recipient of federal grant funds administered by ODOT, which have improved pedestrian crossings to the school. Lent is a Title 1 school and has a diverse student body, with the majority of students representing communities of color.
In addition to Lent K-8 School, 70 Portland area schools representing 33,000 students will be holding events today in celebration of International Walk and Bike to School Day. International Walk and Bike to School Day is a global event that involves communities from more than 40 countries walking and biking to school on the same day. Started in 1997, the event has become part of a movement for year-round safe routes to school and a celebration – with record breaking participation – each October.

Interagency team led by Portland Fire & Rescue to evacuate seven people
(Oct. 1 2015) – The annual evacuation exercise for the Portland Aerial Tram is set for Sunday morning, Oct. 4, 2015. The exercise will begin at 9 a.m. and should be concluded by noon.
Members of the Portland Fire & Rescue Technical Rescue Team will lead the exercise. They will be assisted by representatives from both the City of Portland, whose Bureau of Transportation owns the tram, and Oregon Health & Science University, which operates the tram in conjunction with Doppelmayr USA.
Using ropes and harnesses, the team will lower seven volunteers playing the role of passengers 100 feet to the top floor of the OHSU Casey Eye Institute's parking garage.
The training allows crews to practice an aerial rescue in the event the tram is stopped for an extended period of time with passengers on board. If members of the public contact you with questions about the training, please inform them that this is a scheduled training exercise and not a real emergency.
The exercise has been conducted annually since the Portland Aerial Tram opened on Jan. 27, 2007 and is designed to provide personnel with experience in executing a last resort safety measure. There has never been a real emergency.
More than 7,000 daily commuters and tourists ride the Portland Aerial Tram; the tram is one of only two used for urban transit in the U.S.
WHEN: 9 a.m. Sunday, Oct.4, 2015 - The exercise should be completed by noon.
WHERE: The training will take place above the OHSU Casey Eye Institute parking garage. At that location a small number of exercise participants will be evacuated from the tram and lowered via ropes and harnesses down to the top of the parking structure. Local news crews are encouraged to cover the training, but we ask that you do so from the ground and refrain from entering the Casey Eye Institute parking lot so as not to interfere with the exercise.
SPECTATORS: The Portland Aerial Tram is closed on Sundays during the fall and winter. As a result, the training exercise will not interfere with regular operations. For those interested in observing, please do so from nearby locations and refrain from entering the Casey Eye Institute parking lot.
The Portland Aerial Tram is owned by the City of Portland's Bureau of Transportation and operated by OHSU. It opened to the public on Jan. 27, 2007. The cabins, named Walt and Jean, travel 3,300 linear feet between the South Waterfront terminal adjacent to the OHSU Center for Health & Healing and the upper terminal at the Kohler Pavilion on OHSU's main campus. Traveling at 22 miles per hour, the tram cabins rise 500 feet for the three-minute trip over I-5, the Lair Hill neighborhood and the Southwest Terwilliger Parkway. Visit http://gobytram.com . Find the tram on Twitter @PortlandTram and Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/portlandaerialtram.

By Dylan Rivera, PBOT staff
(Sept. 28, 2015) An estimated 28,000 people participated in the Tilikum Crossing-Sellwood Sunday Parkways on Sunday, helping lift the event to an annual record turnout of 119,000 for 2015.
Great weather and the landmark opening of the Tilikum Crossing: Bridge of the People provided a huge draw for the event Sunday Sept. 27.
Sunday Parkways introduces Portlanders to biking as a transportation option by opening miles of streets to biking, walking and rolling. The routes are designed to introduce new bicyclists to neighborhood greenways, the low-traffic residential streets where the Portland Bureau of Transportation has prioritized safe, comfortable access for people riding bicycles. The events also offer an opportunity for residents to connect with each other, by volunteering their time to help with traffic, distribute refreshments and spread the word about community organizations.
Sunday's 28,000 participants marked among the largest Sunday Parkways events. Only five of the 33 events held since 2008 have had a higher turnout. The highest was 31,500 at the North Portland Parkways event in 2011.
Growth in Sunday Parkways attendance in East Portland helped produce the record turnout this year, said Linda Ginenthal, who leads Sunday Parkways for the Active Transportation Division of PBOT. Attendance there has grown from 12,000 in 2010 to more than 16,000 this year.
"As we have done more community outreach in East Portland, there are more people who are riding and coming out to enjoy it," she said. "It has built on the investments we're making."
Volunteers and sponsors make Sunday Parkways possible. About a third of the budget for the event, which takes place five times a year, comes from the City of Portland. The balance is funded by sponsorships, led by presenting sponsor Kaiser Permanente, as well as fees for participating organizations and businesses and donations from individuals.
About 300 to 400 people volunteer their time for each event. Wearing pink shirts, some direct traffic, helping neighbors access driveways along the route. Others talk with the public about community organizations. A handful of "Superhero Coordinators" ride up and down the route, passing out snacks and water to volunteers and giving them pointers as needed.
"The only way we can do this is with our strong volunteer program," Ginenthal said.
Sunday Parkways routes are designed to introduce people to comfortable routes for people new to biking. So they focus on neighborhood greenways rather than wider, busy streets.
"You won't take your 8-year-old on Burnside or Sandy but you might take him on Northeast Going Street, or Southeast Ankeny or Bush Street in East Portland," she said. "They are like Sunday Parkways every day."
Planning for 2016 has already begun. Look for news about routes, sponsors and more in February.

Baking a cake is like acing a grade-school science experiment; it requires exact measurements, the right temperature, and a partner who does all the work. Sample sweet experiments with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $12 for one dozen specialty cupcakes (a $26 value)
- $22 for two dozen specialty cupcakes (a $52 value)

In addition to traditional vanilla-bean and marble cupcakes, chefs prepare uncommon flavours such as dulce de leche crunch and spicy carrot with toffee-pecan crumbles.

In the wee hours of the morning, before the sun peeks its head over the horizon, a light can be seen shining through BakersVille's windows. That's because the BakersVille family has already started brewing organic coffee, baking fresh pastries, and decorating their sought-after specialty: custom cakes. To earn a warm place in stomachs' hearts, each cake reflects the personal taste and style of the customer, hitting the right notes with a wide array of flavours––including vanilla bean, spicy carrot, and chocolate truffle––as well as alluring toppings such as buttercream frosting and caramel mousse.
In addition to artfully assembled cakes, BakersVille's muffins, brownies, turnovers, and cupcakes share the same rich, wholesome ingredients as their larger, shareable counterparts. The shop's thoughtful bakers also accommodate special diets with vegan cupcakes, gluten-free breads, and banana-free muffins for those traumatized by the children's show Bananas in Pyjamas.
64% of 267 customers recommend
"We had a great time. Would of liked to decorate all 12 cupcakes instead of 6."

What's the opposite of a gold digger?
A bronze plower?
When it comes to birthday parties, many celebrity parents spare absolutely no expense.
The bigger the birthday party, the better! Beyonce and Jay Z rented a ZOO for Blue Ivy, and you know KimYe went straight baller for North West's first birthday.
Jessica Alba took a break from Street Fighting over the weekend to send anniversary wishes to Cash Warren, her beloved husband of five years.
#happyanniversary #mylove+myheart+mybestfriend+myconfidant ur my everything cash_warren I love u," the actress Tweeted, linking to a beautiful collage of the couple on Instagram.
Call them the Fantastic Four!
With the arrival of their second child - another daughter - congratulations are most definitely in order for spouses Jessica Alba and Cash Warren.
Jessica Alba has delivered exciting news via her Facebook page. We'll let the actress pass it along herself:
I thought I'd drop by to let you all in on some exciting news – Honor is going to be a Big Sister! Cash and I are thrilled and wanted to share the news directly with you so you didn't hear about it somewhere else.
Move over, Tiger Woods. You may have company in the marital doghouse.
According to witnesses, Cash Warren - husband to Jessica Alba and father to Honor Marie - was spotted making out with Lindsay Lohan at a West Hollywood club on November 19.
As evidenced by the following set of photos, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren had no Honor last night.
Daughter Honor Marie, that is!
Today is Christmas, but for many of the stars we know and love, the best present ever came earlier this year. We are talking, of course, about celebrity babies!
Here's a delightful photo sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Check out this poignant moment with Jessica Alba, Cash Warren and their daughter, Honor ...

Posts from Pressure Cookers
How To Cook Eggs in an Electric Pressure Cooker
Cooking Lessons from The Kitchn
The pressure cooker is an old-fashioned appliance that is enjoying a renaissance of sorts, and there are many good reasons why. Chief among them is the fact that it just cooks so many foods so well; if you have a pressure cooker, you know what I mean. You probably had a gateway experience that made you say Oh! This is what this thing can do.
For me, that gateway cooking experience was simple and elemental: soft- and hard-boiled eggs. The pressure cooker makes them better than any other method I know. Here's how!
Cuisinart, Fagor, and Breville: Which Electric Pressure Cooker Is Right for You?
Product Review
For the past couple weeks I've been up to my ears in electric pressure cooker manuals. My kitchen smelled like chicken and delicious onions for days at a time while testing. I've put these three electric pressure cookers from Cuisinart, Fagor, and Breville to the test — so how do they stack up against each other? And which one is right for you?
Breville's Fast Slow Cooker Is a Great Pressure Cooker for Beginners
Product Review
Item: Breville The Fast Slow Cooker
Price: $179.99
Overall Impression: If you're intimidated by using an electric pressure cooker, this is the one for you. The manual and settings make it super easy to understand what you're doing. I also love how the steam release button is away from the valve – it makes it much more safe for a first-time user.
Breville is known for making higher-end appliances, and that includes The Fast Slow Cooker. This machine is a slow cooker and pressure cooker, and as a result, is more expensive than other cookers that just have the pressure cooker function. Is it worth the extra cash? I ran it through three tests to find out.
A Smart Tip for Cooks Who Use an Electric Pressure Cooker
Comment of the Day
We're testing electric pressure cookers this week, taking a look at three popular models, and seeing how they perform across a variety of common cooking tasks. There have been a lot of good comments from readers, including one smart tip that surprised me — it's all about that plastic seal that comes with the pressure cooker.
The Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker Plus Is a Quiet Cooking Ninja
Product Review
Item: Fagor Electric Pressure Cooker +
Price: $89.99
Overall impression: This cooker makes flavorful food fast, and is super quiet while in use. The instruction manual is a little hard to understand, but if you're familiar with pressure cookers, this shouldn't be a problem.
This handsome pressure cooker from Fagor has a sleek look with a few more options than just low and high pressure (rice, vegetable, and meat). Are they necessary? I took it through three tests — dried beans, eggs, and chicken — to see how well it performed.
The Cuisinart Electric Pressure Cooker Is a Trusted Friend in the Kitchen
Product Review
Item: Cuisinart CPC-600 Electric Pressure Cooker
Price: $99.95
Overall Impression: With a bright red pressure indicator and easy-to-understand menu options, this pressure cooker is a no-fuss way to make great food fast.
Cuisinart is a big name in small electric appliances, including electric pressure cookers. This is their standard electric pressure cooker. It promises to cut cooking times by up to 70%, but is this machine intuitive enough for a newbie to pressure cooking? How will the food actually taste?
10 Things You Need to Know Before Using an Electric Pressure Cooker
Tool Tips from The Kitchn
Electric pressure cookers are not an intuitive kitchen gadget. There were terms and ideas that were completely new to me when I started using one in my own kitchen, and it took me some time to figure out what it all meant. Things like: What is natural pressure release? And how much liquid do you need to add to the pot before cooking? It's all a little confusing.
But please, don't be intimidated! If you're thinking about making the leap and trying an electric pressure cooker, here's a neat little list of the essential things I learned about using an electric pressure cooker in my kitchen. It's not so scary, promise.
We're Testing Electric Pressure Cookers This Week: Is Cuisinart, Fagor, or Breville Right for You?
Product Review
Move over, slow cookers! The pressure cooker is the new cool tool in the kitchen. It takes 40 minutes to cook un-soaked dried beans, and just 10 minutes for perfect chicken. It might not be the most intuitive gadget in your kitchen (cooking with pressure? huh?), but you'll be endlessly impressed with the fast results.
I've personally never used a pressure cooker – electric or stovetop. So, if you're intimidated by the process, I'm here to show you the beginner's perspective. This week at The Kitchn, I'm going to take three popular electric pressure cookers and see what they're capable of. Are they really that hard to understand, and will they change the way I cook in my kitchen?
What's the Difference Between a Slow Cooker and Pressure Cooker?
Word of Mouth
Both slow cookers and pressure cookers are fantastic tools for convenient, hands-off cooking. These handy appliances do the heavy lifting when braising and stewing tough cuts of meat, cooking beans, and so many more things.
But while they can both produce similar results, these two appliances are quite different. If you've ever wondered about the differences, here's a quick guide.
Why I Chose the Pressure Cooker Over the Slow Cooker
Cooking for Kids
As we walk in the door at 5:45 p.m., the most stressful part of our day begins. Jonas, my 16-month-old, instantly starts banging his little fist against his open mouth signing that he wants to eat. Darby, my three-year-old, runs in asking, "Can you make me a 'pecial dinner, Mama?" It is a mad rush to find something nutritious to serve them fast — berries, carrots, yogurt, cheese, and whole wheat pasta are frequently seen on their plates. It is all I can muster.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) September 03, 2013
For millions of families, back-to-school means organizing dinner around school activities like homework, soccer, band practice, and dance lessons. "Shopping for and preparing a healthy meal is hard enough for busy families, but for those on a gluten-free diet it is extra-challenging," says Carol Fenster, a cookbook author who offers a gluten-free weekly e-cookbook with recipes and personalized shopping lists at GfreeCuisine. Eating wisely contributes to healthy kids and success in school, so Fenster offers these tips for getting meals on the table:
*Stock the Pantry
Keep a pantry full of quick dinner fixes, such as gluten-free pasta, rice, broth, marinara sauce and cans of clams, tuna, beans, and artichokes, olives, capers—plus dried garlic, basil, oregano, and rosemary. Keep frozen shrimp, frozen link sausage, and frozen vegetables on hand. "From these items, I make a quick linguine with red clam sauce, or paella, or an easy bean soup," says Fenster. "The possibilities are endless with these ingredients."
*Maximize the Slow Cooker
Assemble soups, stews, and roasts in the morning, cook in the slow-cooker all day, and then be greeted at the end of the day with a wonderful aroma that says "Sit down and enjoy dinner." Chili makes a hearty meal and leftovers can be used for sloppy joes, on baked potatoes, or frozen in individual servings for reheating later. Slow cookers not only save time, they don't generate as much heat as full-size ovens which make them especially helpful during warm fall days.
*Assemble Ready-to-Cook Meals Ahead of Time
Freeze ready-to-cook meals that are assembled ahead of time, such as marinated meats. For

Even with good negative, it takes me quite a while to get the contrast right and density right. With modestly complex manipulation, it can easily run more than a day to get it right.
I don't care about efficiency If I'm printing on fiber, it is a good image that deserve to be printed to my satisfaction. So I take my time and do it over-and-over until I am satisfied with the result.

'Killer Joe' boasts starry cast, NC-17 rating
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Matthew McConaughey is the latest A-lister to go NC-17. He plays the title role in "Killer Joe," which carries the Motion Picture Association of America's maximum restriction because of "graphic disturbing content."
Directed by Oscar winner William Friedkin, "Killer Joe" is only the second NC-17 theatrical film to be released in the U.S. this year, because no one under 17 can be admitted no matter who accompanies them and limited audiences mean limited revenues.
Still, more and more of Hollywood's top talent like McConaughey, Friedkin, and co-stars Emile Hirsch, Gina Gershon and Thomas Haden Church are embracing edgy projects that require the stiff rating.
Oscar-winning actress Juliette Binoche starred in the NC-17-rated French film "Elles," released earlier this year. "X-Men: First Class" and "Inglourious Basterds" star Michael Fassbender won raves for his turn as a sex addict in last year's only theatrically released NC-17-rated film, "Shame."
"The NC-17 rating is about to go mainstream," said box-office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Hollywood.com. "If Matthew McConaughey and Michael Fassbender are giving their stamp of approval to the creative freedom that NC-17 allows, people might go for it. While it may affect the ability to market a film, it brings a whole new cache of subversive marketing, and mainstream actors who give it legitimacy, credibility and raise it to a whole new level."
"Let's wear it as a badge and keep it shined!" McConaughey said of the NC-17 rating for "Killer Joe."
The MPAA says on its website that an NC-17-rated film "is one that, in the view of the Rating Board, most parents would consider patently too adult for their children 17 and under."
That's certainly true of "Killer Joe," which opens in New York on Friday and other major cities next week. The MPAA says it contains "graphic disturbing content involving violence and sexuality, and a scene of brutality."
Adapted from the stage by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts, it's a story about a small-time drug dealer (Hirsch) who hires a cop moonlighting as a hit-man (McConaughey) to kill his mother for her life-insurance benefits, and offers his virgin sister as collateral. It's adult material.
Still, Friedkin was prepared to edit the film to potentially qualify for an R-rating, "but they wanted to go so far" with the cuts.
"I often say what (the MPAA) wanted to do is what the generals said we had to do in Vietnam, which was destroy the country in order to save it," said the director, who won an Oscar for 1971's "The French Connection" and an Oscar nomination for 1973's "The Exorcist."
"We're not targeting a teenage audience, so it's the correct rating," Friedkin continued. "But there are other films that I think are far more graphic in every way — language, sex and violence — that are playing with an R, because you won't see an NC-17 — which is an `X' really — on a major studio film."
McConaughey, who has been breaking out of his broad rom-com appeal with edgier roles, described "Killer Joe" as "a wild, raunchy, cheerfully amoral piece."
"It was a character I hadn't played before," he said of gentlemanly cop/contract killer Joe Cooper. "It was a character I didn't know how to do right away."
The disturbing and darkly funny story with themes of loyalty and vengeance didn't appeal to him right away, either.
"When I first read the thing, I didn't like it. I didn't think it was funny. I was disgusted by it," the actor said. "But then I clicked into my funny-bone side of it and I was like, `I get it. I get that this is absurd and funny, and it's OK.'"
Friedkin says the appeal of the story lies in the desperation of its characters.
"I found it fascinating because at the heart of it, at the crux of it, is small time criminality — the desperate ends that people will go to who find themselves trapped in their own skin and by their own dreams," he said. "All these people have big dreams and they don't know how to accomplish them, and they think that murder is the answer."
He drew comparisons to the real-life cases of O.J. Simpson, Robert Blake and Casey Anthony.
A dark tale like "Killer Joe" will find an audience, Friedkin said, no matter its rating.
"Somebody's going to see these films, and they're gonna like them or hate them. Sometimes they'll be memorable. Often they'll be challenging. And I enjoy doing that," he said. "I don't have any respect for someone who sets out to do a blockbuster. I just really don't. I think that's just a crass, commercial approach."
Films rated NC-17 are rarely commercial. Pedro Almodovar's 2004 film "Bad Education" has the highest box-office tally of any NC-17 film with just over $5 million.
"An NC-17 movie is never going to be about box office," Dergarabedian said. "It's always going to be about creative freedom. That's the best thing about the NC-17."

Maryland has long been one of the nation's most Democratic-leaning states, but its progressive politics seem to have ramped up even further of late.
The General Assembly's passage last week of a bill repealing the death penalty was the latest of several progressive proposals to pass the legislature in recent years.
State lawmakers made national news last year by legalizing same-sex marriage and in 2011 they approved the Dream Act, which allows in-state tuition for some illegal immigrants. They are also considering a bill this year that would ban assault weapons and strengthen the state's gun laws, which are already among the nation's toughest.
The wave of liberal legislation has been matched in few states and has been worn as a badge of honor by Democrats who say Maryland is setting positive trends for the country, even as outnumbered Republicans argue they are moving too far.
"Maryland is a state that is founded on freedom, justice and tolerance," Delegate Heather R. Mizeur, Montgomery Democrat, said Friday during debate over the death penalty bill. "Today's historic vote is a long time coming."
Maryland is one of 37 states whose legislature and governor's mansion are controlled by a single party, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, and it easily passes much of its most contentious legislation with little to no support from Republicans.
Despite the advantage, conservative Democrats have at times stood in the way of proposals but they have been less resistant of late.
Until this session, yearly bills to repeal the death penalty stalled as conservative Democrats on the Senate Judicial Proceedings Committee refused to budge and as recently as 2011 House Democrats killed the state's first serious effort to legalize gay marriage.
At times the assembly has even passed fairly conservative legislation, such as a 2009 law that attempted to phase out driver's licenses for illegal immigrants by 2015. This year, lawmakers are considering a bill that would overturn that law.
The recent run of progressive legislation has come as state leaders have been emboldened by their continued dominance in state elections and President Obama's two election victories, said Todd Eberly, coordinator of public policy studies at St. Mary's College of Maryland.
"I think they're looking at the numbers and reading into it that Maryland is becoming a more progressive state," he said, adding that Maryland ranks with states including New York and California as the most liberal. "You can understand why the Democrats in the assembly, heading into a [2014] election year, are not shying away from these issues. They don't see that there's a downside."
Democratic lawmakers have generally said their proposals reflect the will of the state's residents and point to ballot victories last fall for gay marriage and the Dream Act as proof that lawmakers are not too liberal for their constituents.
Nonetheless, Republicans have criticized Democrats for their passage of a death penalty ban despite multiple polls this year showing that Maryland voters prefer keeping capital punishment.
Opponents have accused Democrats of catering to urban and liberal parts of the state while ignoring constituents outside of major population centers.
"There's this huge disconnect because you've got Montgomery County, Baltimore and Prince George's County controlling the state," said Sen. Nancy Jacobs, Harford Republican. "I've been [in the Senate] 19 years and it's not the same legislature by a long shot."

i wish my daughter was ready to give hers up. there are times when i ask for it and she will hand it to me and other times when i ask for it and she fusses and runs away with it. and with baby #2 coming any day now, i am worried that when she doesn't have her nuk if she is just going to take the nuk away from her sister (that is if her sister wants it). i was hoping to get rid of it prior to now, but she seems to keep a hidden stash of them everywhere. i dont mind them at naptime or when she fusses in the car, but when she fusses its hard for me to hold her and try to soothe her with the big baby belly and her squirming aroound and trying to dig het feet into my big belly, so i just give in and give her the nuk. hoping that once the baby comes i can teach her that it is for babies, and that she will just give it up on her own. fingers crossed. no guarentees though
Well girls, my ddaughter was obsessed with her paci. If you literally took it out she would scream, so one morning I woke uo and said, let's try to wean you already, lol. so I sat down with her on her bed and explained to her that pacifiers were for babys like her little cousin who was just born, then i kept saying it over & ovefr again that she was a big girl already then i grabbed a scissor and cut the tip off and she started screaming ( amazing how she knew) and then we went together and threw it into the trash can. & now it's been a little more than a week! it's all about reasuring them.

As an electro-kinetic high on the government's list of desirables, Shilo's been on the run ever since she escaped their clutches. What she doesn't realize is that her psychic gift is also the lure that draws lycans to her, that the 'scent' of her gift is many times more seductively potent to them even than the scent of one of their own females in heat. In pursuit of a troublemaking rogue pack on his territory, when Dante, prime alpha, stumbles upon Shilo he finds her absolutely irresistible, despite the fact that she's human and forbidden to him according to lycan law. If she'd been lycan, he would've been certain she was the life mate he'd never thought to find. What he's to do with her, he has no idea, but he knows what he wants to do, and as soon as he discovers that, as a psychic, she isn't off limits, he and his pack are grimly determined to claim her for their own. Rating: Carnal, adult situations, adult language, and multiple sexual partners.

One of Go's slogans is Do not communicate by sharing memory; instead, share memory by communicating.
I am wondering whether Go allows two different Go-compiled binaries running on the same machine to communicate with one another (i.e. client-server), and how fast that would be in comparison to boost::interprocess in C++? All the examples I've seen so far only illustrate communication between same-program routines.
A simple Go example (with separate client and sever code) would be much appreciated!

Each Jack Ryan movie departed from the Clancy book on which it was based to some degree.
And that's how famous the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem were.
Later I saw that she was watching a different Clancy Brothers video on computer.
Clancy himself, who rarely speaks publicly, declined an interview.
While Clancy has obviously sold more books that Thurber, only one of them is in the Modern Library.
There are continual jests about the contrast between this Ulsterman's austerity and the conviviality of Colonel Clancy.
I was in the army—in the 'Buffs'; maybe you knew one Clancy who was in them?
It was Clancy's turn to color, and she did so magnificently.
I seen a man do it at th' Lyceem whin I was a kid,' says Clancy.
But rest yourself now, Mr. Clancy, ye'll be tired afther the drive.

PLEASANTON, Calif., Dec. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Roche (SIX: RO, ROG; OTCQX: RHHBY) announced today that the United States Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved an additional intended use for its licensed nucleic acid test, to screen source plasma in pools comprised of up to 96 individual donations. The test, called the cobas® TaqScreen MPX Test for use on the cobas s 201 system, is a qualitative, in-vitro test for the simultaneous, direct detection of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 Group M RNA, HIV-1 Group O RNA , HIV-2 RNA), hepatitis C virus RNA and hepatitis B virus DNA in human plasma. The test was approved in the US last year for screening plasma specimens from blood donors and, earlier this year, received the CE Mark for screening source plasma.
"Roche is committed to providing the broadest coverage and an easy-to-use menu of screening tests to ensure the highest safety of blood and plasma products," said Daniel O'Day, head of Roche Molecular Diagnostics, the business area of Roche Diagnostics that developed the test. "The expanded use of our multiplex test, which has been widely adopted and has demonstrated excellent performance worldwide, is one more step toward that goal. We are pleased to introduce this new use of the cobas® TaqScreen MPX Test in the US as we continue to further invest in solutions for this critical industry."
Human plasma is fractionated into its components, such as immunoglobulins, albumin, and clotting factors, which have many therapeutic uses. These include treatment of chronic and hereditary diseases and disorders such as hemophilia and primary immunodeficiency diseases. Plasma is also used to treat patients who have suffered severe burns or trauma, and during major surgery.
Many countries have implemented Nucleic Acid Technology (NAT) testing in order to further ensure the safety of blood and blood products. In Western Europe and North America, rou

Does anyone have any idea why they are all of the sudden coming so late now?
I got mine on Saturday the 8th. I was pleasantly surprised. Others have gotten their copies as well.
I haven't got mine yet. I'll be happy if I can get mine this week since my March issue came on April 1st.
I ordered Burda WOF from Amazon in Jan. My subscription started with the April issue, it came on the 10th.
Mine came April 10. I really can't complain about the time of arrival. I don't have time to sew everything I want anyway.
------I sew, therefore I am.

I, too, got mine on the 8th. This is the second issue in my subscription and I just LOVE all the fashions!
Is anyone else still waiting on this? I still haven't gotten this issue.
