Pretty in Pink Pancakes with Fresh Berry Sauce
Pretty in Pink Pancakes with Fresh Berry Sauce. With a name like that, you know it's more about the sauce than the pancakes. And trust me, that's a good thing.
Last time I made pancakes, they were topped with meaty pancetta, rich creme fraiche, and pools of maple syrup.
Today's pancakes in contrast are as light as a spring breeze and were inspired by luscious fresh farmers' market raspberries. Pillowy soft pancakes are dressed with a sweet, vanilla-laced raspberry-strawberry sauce and sliced almonds. Perfect for this weekend's brunch.
And since these pancakes are low on calories but high on taste, I'm sending them to Ivy and Ben for their Fat Chefs of Skinny Gourmets? event running through June 30th. Yes, you can actually eat pancakes and still be a skinny gourmet.
Since I just saw Susan's event announcement for Pancakes on Parade, I'm sending my pretty ones her way. You have until July 6th to share any type of pancake you would like with Susan, the always well seasoned cook.
Pretty in Pink Pancakes with Fresh Berry Sauce
Makes 8-10 (3-inch) round pancakes.
Print recipe only here.
1 cup Heart Healthy Bisquick
2/3 cup skim milk
1 egg white
Berry Sauce:
1 tablespoon Smart Balance butter substitute
1/2 cup strawberries, sliced
1/2 cup fresh raspberries
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Fresh raspberries and strawberries
Sliced almonds
In a medium bowl, add Bisquick, milk, and egg white, and mix well until smooth. Let batter rest for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, melt Smart Balance in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining ingredients, and cook over medium -low heat until slightly thick and bubbly, about 7-8 minutes. If you'd like a thinner sauce, simple add a little bit of water. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the pancakes, place a thin layer of canola oil on a pancake griddle over medium heat. Place a drop of batter on the skillet to make sure it's hot enough. Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls (about 1 heaping). Cook pancakes until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer to a warm plate until ready to serve. Top with berry sauce, sliced almonds, and fresh berries. Serve immediately.

i'll be honest--it'd be difficult for me to ever pass up maple syrup on my pancakes. if i had to sacrifice it, your berry sauce would be my pick of alternatives. :)

Very pretty! I love raspberries and can't wait until they arrive here. Pancakes I have a love/hate relationship with, I'm afraid (forced to eat them soggy as a child and traumatized for life). Like 'em very thin and crepe-like, though!

One of the things I love about your blog, Susan, is the way it encourages me to scour my local farmer's market.
Our spring/early summer has been cool and rainy (so far), so most markets are still operating with limited hours. But man, I can hardly wait to get out there and buy some beautiful raspberries to try this.
My daughter -- who is six and lives/breathes pink -- thanks you.

Susan I always feel guilty eating pancakes but the way you have created them is perfect. Although I don't know what the "smart butter substitute" is, I am sure it's something healthy coming from you.

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
- Athlete's Foot and Other Fungal Infections
- Eczema
- Acne
The roots and bark of the shrub Mahonia aquifolium (also called Oregon grape) have traditionally been used both orally and topically to treat skin problems. They were also used for other conditions such as gastritis, fever, hemorrhage, jaundice, gall bladder disease, and cancer. In addition, Mahonia was used as a bitter tonic to improve appetite.
According to some experts, M. aquifolium is identical to the plant named Berberis aquifolium , but others point to small distinctions. Berberis vulgaris , commonly called barberry , is a close relative of these herbs, but is not identical.
What Is Oregon Grape Used for Today?
Oregon grape is primarily used today as a topical treatment for psoriasis . Growing evidence suggests that it may help reduce symptoms, although it does not seem to be as effective for this purpose as standard medications. 1,2,3,15
Oregon grape has been proposed as a treatment for other skin diseases, such as fungal infections (such as athlete's foot ), eczema , and acne . 4,5,6 However, the evidence is either extremely preliminary or inconclusive. For example, a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 88 people with eczema tested a cream containing extracts of Mahonia aquifolium , Viola tricolor , and Centella asiatica . 17 The results failed to show benefit overall.
Many studies have been performed on purified berberine, a major chemical constituent of Oregon grape and other herbs such as goldenseal, but it is not clear whether their results apply to the whole herb. In addition, impossibly high dosages of the herb would be required to duplicate the amount of berberine used in many of these studies. (For more information, see the article on Goldenseal .)
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Oregon Grape?
Evidence from two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies and one comparative trial suggest that cream made from the herb Oregon grape may help reduce symptoms of psoriasis, although it does not seem to be as effective as standard medications.
In a double-blind study published in 2006, two hundred people were given either a cream containing 10% Oregon grape extract or placebo twice a day for 3 months. 15 The results indicate that the people using Oregon grape experienced greater benefits than those in the placebo group, and the difference was statistically significant. The treatment was well tolerated, though in a few people it caused rash or burning sensation.
Benefits were also seen in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 82 people with psoriasis. 7 However, the study design had a significant flaw: the treatment salve was darker in color than the placebo, possibly allowing participants to guess which was which.
Another study found that dithranol, a conventional drug used to treat psoriasis symptoms, was more effective than Oregon grape. 8 Regrettably, the authors fail to state whether this study was double-blind. Forty-nine participants applied one treatment to their left side and the other to their right for 4 weeks. Skin biopsies were then analyzed and compared with samples taken at the beginning of the study. The physicians evaluating changes in skin tissue were unaware which treatments had been used on the samples. Greater improvements were seen in the dithranol group.
A large open study in which 443 participants with psoriasis used Oregon grape topically for 12 weeks found the herb to be helpful for 73.7% of the group. 9 Without a placebo group, it's not possible to know whether Oregon grape was truly responsible for the improvement seen, but the trial does help to establish the herb's safety and tolerability. (See Safety Issues below.)
Laboratory research suggests Oregon grape has some effects at the cellular level that might be helpful in psoriasis, such as slowing the rate of abnormal cell growth and reducing inflammation. 10,11
Topical ointments or creams containing 10% Oregon grape extract are generally applied 3 times daily to the affected areas.
Safety Issues
Oregon grape appears to be safe when used as directed. In the large open study described above, only 5 of the 443 participants reported side effects of burning, redness, and itching. 12
However, because Oregon grape contains berberine, which has been reported to cause uterine contractions and to increase levels of bilirubin, oral consumption of Oregon grape should be avoided by pregnant women. 13,14 Safety in young children, nursing women, or people with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.
There is an additional concern regarding the berberine content of Oregon grape. One study found that berberine impairs metabolism of the drug cyclosporine, thereby raising its levels. 16 This could potentially cause toxicity.

The Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts told the SEC on Wednesday to ban the use of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clauses (MPDAC) in the contracts of RIAs, saying that such clauses may not be in the best interests of clients and that they may even be "inconsistent with the fiduciary duty that advisors owe their customers."
In the letter, William Galvin described a survey conducted by the Massachusetts Securities Division. The survey went to 710 Massachusetts RIAs asking about their contracts. Among the approximately 350 respondents, about half indicated that their contracts did indeed carry such clauses, with many specifying the arbitrator and also the location where the proceedings would be held.
In his letter, Galvin told the SEC, "Such widespread use of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration clauses in advisory contracts is troubling and a cause for regulatory concern." He added, "By law, investment advisers are required to act as fiduciaries for their clients, with an obligation to act in their best interests. While arbitration may be appropriate in some cases, a clause binding an investor to arbitration before the circumstances are known may not be in the client's best interest nor consistent with an investment adviser's fiduciary duty."
He then urged the SEC "to use its authority under Section 921 of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act" to further investigate the practice. Further, since Section 921 "authorizes and delegates to the commission the responsibility to reform or prohibit pre-dispute arbitration requirements if the commission finds that such changes are in the public interest and for the protection of investors."
Galvin didn't stop there, however; he asked the SEC to ban such clauses. It's difficult, if not impossible, to open an account at a brokerage firm without agreeing to such a clause, and BDs have come under heavy fire from consumer groups for requiring them. The fact that RIAs are using them as well is likely to make them a target of consumer advocates, who will no doubt pressure the SEC to comply with Galvin's request.

Beautiful! Mine collects so much lint dust, it drives me crazy. It seems to get all over everything.ReplyDelete
I love what you guys do! I just want to live in your house. I love the colors, the decor, pretty much everything! Thanks for putting all of your DIY projects in terms I can understand and make me feel like, "Hey, I totally can do that!" THANK YOU THANK YOU!ReplyDelete
I LOVE LOVE this area.. and it is about the same size as what I have. After about a year of looking for a small laundry room redo..and not being able to find anything.. You have done it!! and it looks awesome. I cannot wait to redo mine.ReplyDelete
What is the wall art hanging on the wall to the right of the shelf? It looks architectural.ReplyDelete
beautiful Shelley! It's a great space for laundry!ReplyDelete
Looks great! I especially like the light fixture. Laundry rooms are so in right now- i also just revealed my laundry and have been seeing them on so many blogs.ReplyDelete
AMAZING, I love every single detail! Thanks for the inspiration. =) Off to see what I can do to my laundry room. =)ReplyDelete
Happy Labor Day! XO~Liz
So cute and functional to boot! I love the baseboard idea... I definitely want to go that in one of my rooms!ReplyDelete
You know it's funny, but the laundry room is one of my favorite rooms to decorate... Maybe it's because were a family of 8 and I practically live in there... :)ReplyDelete
You did a LOVELY job!!
Gorgeous. We have a small laundry room as well right in between our garage and family room. Yours is an inspiration!ReplyDelete
Love the "Wanted" sign! super cute and functional. I'm afraid mine would have to be MUCH biggerReplyDelete
This is beautiful. I love the wood backing behind the shelf's L-bracket, rather than drilling directly into the wall. Can you tell us more about the rug?ReplyDelete
Nice laundry room! During our rebuild of our home - a laundry room was a must - I like your ideas. The ironing board hanger...um yeah, gonna have to make me one of those! :DReplyDelete
im so glad you putting together a house tour! I am pretty new to your site, and had been searching for one!ReplyDelete
Love the simplicity and the impact.....and btw I have the same washer!ReplyDelete
Looks like such an inviting space. Yes, I just called a laundry room inviting. The color is calming. I think I might have to choose a room in my home to paint that color. The chandelier is lovely. What a find.ReplyDelete
The space is beautiful!
I pass these ugly chandeliers at thrift stores so often, but never think that some paint could actually make them look this cute. All the details really make the space shine! Love it!ReplyDelete
Once again you have done it. It looks so good! Love the chandelier too! I just posted My Laundry Room Makeover as well. We are leasing a house in Calgary, so I'm trying to make the best of it...hope you would check it out! Thanks, Missy - http://lookiewhatidid.blogspot.ca/2012/09/my-laundry-room-makeover.htmlReplyDelete
Oh my, I love this sooooo much! I have a serious place in my heart for laundry rooms!ReplyDelete
It's a beautiful space! Love the color, decor and especially the chandelier!ReplyDelete
This looks great. Ours is probably about the same size. We don't do fancy in our little space either, I just need to put in a new light and paint the ceiling! And maybe rework my shelves...yours are so pretty..I was thinking of making some cabinet doors out of plywood, I'll share when done!ReplyDelete
So beautiful! I'm inspired to make over my ugly utility room. Maybe I'd get more laundry done, eh?ReplyDelete
I really like the rug! Where did you find it?ReplyDelete
I am sooooo inspired by this. It's so pretty you don't even notice the not so fancy appliances. Who would care...in a room like this.ReplyDelete
Love ALL of this!!!! Especially the wanted board. Such a good idea!ReplyDelete
Love the Laundry Room. Where did you find the rug?ReplyDelete
So pretty, I love how you styled the shelf above! Our laundry is currently in the unfinished part of our basement, eeewwwww. Someday maybe it will be finished and I won't tiptoe around afraid of spiders.ReplyDelete
Love your refurbished Chandelier - who would have thought to put a Chandelier in the laundry room? BUT, my Absolute Favorite thing in the laundry room is the 'Wanted' sign - so imaginative and necessary {why didn't I think of that??}. I'm so bummed that I have a laundry closet and not a laundry room. On the other hand, after a couple of months in Gulf Shores with no laundry room/closet/etc., I'm not gonna complain about my laundry closet ever again!ReplyDelete
this is soooo ADORABLE!!ReplyDelete
Love this! I crave for the front loading, pretty W/D to really bling out my laundry room. But I think it's just a cop out for me to keep walking by by sad little laundry nook, unorganized, broken shelf, stashing everything in it. So I need to get on the stick and clean that girl out and pretty her up even if the W/D aren't shiny and new. There is a problem that I'm wonding if you have a solution for. The heat duct for the dryer goes UP to the ceiling! So from my dryer is this ugly foil duct that goes up to the ceiling. So not pretty. Any ideas? Thanks! JaimeReplyDelete
I love it! I just made a few changes to my laundry room, too, and it has feel similar to yours. It's amazing how changing just a few things can make a workspace more pleasant and functional.ReplyDelete
You are amazing! Beautiful job.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 at 10:22 AM
Thank you so much for posting your laundry room makeover tips! You've inspired me to make my own laundry room more beautiful and "homey". Like yours, my appliances are old. But, with a beautifully accessorized shelf, accessories, and a re-vamped lighting fixture I can see the potential in my own laundry room. Thank you and many blessings to you.ReplyDelete
I love this space! We just put in an offer on our first house, and this gives me some inspiration for the downstairs laundry/bathroom. Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
love love love - we are about to do a laundry room (ok - closet) make over but mine won't be as gorgeous as yours but at least it won't have a sheet hanging over it anymore!!ReplyDelete
I am so impressed! It looks amazing! I have a tiny laundry room as well and I can't stand going in there. I might have to do some fixing up in there!ReplyDelete
wow what a great $3 find! what're the details on the rug??ReplyDelete
Love how refreshing your laundry room is! We are going to start working on ours in the next few months--great inspirations here!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 at 1:42 PM
This definitely inspires me to add some "pretty" to my laundry room. I love the rug!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 4, 2012 at 1:59 PM
Where did you find the rug? I love it, very nice, simple and clean!ReplyDelete
I really love the flooring! Amazing :) the wanted thing is a cute idea too.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 8, 2012 at 10:56 PM
Where did you get the rug? It is perfect! I need it!ReplyDelete
Your blog is so inspirational... Thank you!!!

Love! Love! Love your laundry room. Mind if I copy? You know they say its the best form of flattery. What are the measurements of the ironing board sign? I see that the length is 21 inches, but I am not sure what the height of the is. Could you please email them to me at email@example.com? Thank so much!ReplyDelete
I am so in love with your house.. You have the vision that I have been looking for! It is crazy our houses are almost similar in the builder and materials.. :) Thanks for the inspiration...ReplyDelete
I am in love with your house.. You have the vision that I have been wanting for my house. (weird note we have the same house almost.. same counter tops, same floors..etc..) thanks for the inspiration. :)ReplyDelete
Laundry room looks great! Don't forget to keep those Dryer vents cleaned! Don't want to cause a fire! Its all about Air Duct Cleaning maintenanceReplyDelete
Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts and comments. We truly love and appreciate each one!

The Case for an Energy Benefit
A version of this article appears in the November/December 2013 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
November 02, 2013
A Study of The Clinton Foundation's HEAL Program
Consider these employee benefit facts: In the early 1940s, when war-induced wage freezes pushed industries to find new means of attracting employees, only 5 million people in the United States had health insurance. By 1960, that number was 140 million. Today, nine out of ten large employers offer a major medical policy to employees.

Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++, once said with reference to criticisms of his language, "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses." While Stroustrup is quick to point out that formulations of the type "there are only two of x" should be taken with a grain of salt; it's important to note that there truly are several other categories of languages.
For example, the small group of languages that are both used and widely loved. In general-purpose languages, I think Ruby comes very close to this ideal. In niche languages, Lua definitely reaches the mark. One tier down are languages that are mostly loved, but abide pockets of critics here and there. Python, for example.
To these three categories (criticized, not used, and loved), we should add a fourth category: languages that are little used today, but have had a significant effect on computing. Three of them come immediately to mind: Lisp, Smalltalk, and Tcl. The youngest of these is Tcl, or what was once called the "tool command language." This week, Tcl celebrates its 25th anniversary that is, a quarter of a century since it was first implemented by John Ousterhout at Berkeley (its actual release would come a while later).
Tcl was designed to eliminate a frustrating problem: the profusion of package-proprietary domain-specific languages (DSLs). Ousterhout was hoping to create a widely adopted scripting language that would be embedded by vendors in to larger software packages as a universal programming extension. He reasoned that an easily embeddable engine with a highly structured, but fluid, syntax would be a better solution than the numerous vendor-written languages.
His solution worked: It became, for many years, the preferred scripting engine for numerous high-end tools. This embedded context is where most developers first encounter Tcl. Far fewer programmers use it as a general-purpose language for building greenfield applications (although that use case does exist).
Tcl's design is a curious thing with much to marvel at and a lot of quirks to consider. For all intents, every line of code is a command, most often followed by arguments, which vary from simple values to complex expressions. Each statement, then, can almost be thought of as a command line with arguments. Under the hood, Tcl uses an interpreter to translate the commands into actions. This interpreter is itself highly plastic. For example, commands in the language proper (such as
if - yes,
if is a command) can be redefined.
Tcl is easy to embed because of its portability and its simple integration with other languages, most especially C. Tcl scripts can do all sorts of work while moving data back and forth easily from the larger package. It is, in this sense, a toolmaker's dream.
It would never have broken out of this niche, however, were it not for Tk, its GUI toolkit. Tk solved a vexing problem how to easily create user interfaces. Even today, a considerable amount of ceremony in Java, C++, or C# is required for even simple interfaces with one or two controls/widgets. In the days when Tcl was hitting its stride, the amount of ceremony was hugely greater than it is today to the point where experimentation in interface design was truly painful. But even by today's standards, can any language top this brevity?
button .hello -text "Hello, World!" -command { exit } pack .hello
Actually, this can be all put into one master command:
pack [button .hello -text "Hello, World!" -command exit]
This line creates a button with the indicated text (which exits when clicked). If I want to specify the typeface, the color of the button, its size or location, then I tack on more
-arg value pairs to the original command line. With this spartan syntax, it suddenly became possible to prototype GUIs quickly using Tk. Moreover, packages themselves could use Tk for their own UIs. So the embedded language moved from being a programmable extension to an integrated part of the software. At the time, this was a significant breakthrough made all the more important because the widgets in Tk were portable (although heavily influenced in their look and feel by Motif.)
The simple syntax made Tk the natural GUI toolkit for then-nascent scripting languages. As such, it became the default GUI toolkit for Python (TkInter), Perl (Tkx), and Ruby.
It also led to a second major extension of Tcl's reach the Expect project, which was a popular sysadmin tool. Expect enabled scripted interaction with utilities that exposed a text-based interface. For example, here's how an automated FTP session would be done:
spawn ftp $remote_server expect "username:" # Send the username, and then wait for a password prompt. send "$my_user_id\r" expect "password:" send "$my_password\r" expect "ftp>" # Switch to binary mode, and then wait for an ftp prompt. send "bin\r" expect "ftp>" # Turn off prompting. send "prompt\r" expect "ftp>" # Get all the files send "mget *\r" expect "ftp>" # Exit the ftp session, and wait for a special end-of-file character. send "bye\r" expect eof
This easy scripting eventually moved Expect into new areas, particularly test automation, where it is still widely used today. Pure Tcl, too, has a place in testing, particularly for testing C code. For example, SQLite, which started as a Tcl extension, relies on more than 30,000 Tcl tests.
Tcl's popularity has declined during the last 10 years due to factors both political and technical. In addition, the rise of general-purpose scripting languages with more conventional syntax has siphoned off developers who would previously have worked in Tcl.
However, what can be said of Tcl that can be said of few other languages is perhaps the highest compliment any language can receive: It enabled developers to do things that were simply not possible before.

The apple has long been a symbol of nutrition and health. The multi-billion-dollar apple industry has worked hard to polish that image, so most of its members have balked at the prospect of a genetically modified apple entering the marketplace.
Neal Carter, president of Okanagan Specialty Fruits Inc., expects early next year to receive government approval for production and sales of his Arctic-brand Golden Delicious and Granny Smith apples in the U.S. and Canada. The apples have been engineered to "silence" a gene that causes browning when they are sliced. Carter, who is based in Summerland, B.C., believes it could reduce costs and increase sales in the sliced-apple snack business. In turn, he says it could also boost overall apple consumption, which has been flat for decades.
But the U.S. apple industry opposes his request for USDA approval, not out of opposition to genetic engineering but out of fear it could cause apple sales to decline.
"In my mind the industry is not opposed to the science. It's the financial risk of introducing the GMO apple into the largest producer of apples in the U.S. (Washington state) that is our concern," said Todd Fryhover, president of the Washington Apple Commission in Wenatchee.
The farmgate value of the 2012 U.S. apple crop was $4 billion to $4.3 billion, excluding packing, shipping and processing, with about three-fourths of that coming from Washington, according to the U.S. Apple Association.
The big unknown, industry leaders say, is how many people would quit buying apples because they're concerned about genetic engineering. Though no health risks have been associated with it, genetic engineering has become a hot button issue among some consumers who fear there may be undiscovered risks. Public awareness increased this year when GMO wheat was found in Oregon, leading to Japan's decision to briefly stop some of its U.S. wheat purchases. The debate was also ramped up by GMO food labeling initiatives that failed in California and Washington and may be headed for the ballot in Oregon.
Has all of this made the apple industry more leery than ever about GMO apples? Washington tree fruit company executives don't appear eager to talk about it. Asked that question via voice mail and email, the presidents of three major companies and one smaller one did not respond.
West Mathison, president of the largest company, Stemilt Growers Inc., Wenatchee, said only that his company is not involved in GMO apples and has no plans to start.
Tom Riggan, general manager of Chelan Fresh Marketing, said he doesn't know if the industry is more leery. Carter sells some conventional fruit through Chelan Fresh Marketing, Riggan said, but Chelan Fresh would need to know consumers would accept GMO apples before selling any.
"This is just another variety with probably more of a negative stigma than any other," he said.
The industry is exceedingly cautious, said Randy Smith, a Cashmere, Wash., grower and past chairman of several industry organizations.
"We have to provide quality fruit and assurance to the consumer that our product is safe and healthy. Not to say GMO isn't. But if the public is concerned, we have to be concerned," Smith said. "The market has to be willing to accept them before we move forward."
A member of the audience at the Washington State Horticultural Association annual meeting, Dec. 2, asked a panel on apple varieties to comment on the Arctic apple. One panelist, Washington Sate University apple breeder Kate Evans, noted genetic modification is not breeding. While much could be gained from genetic modification, it's a big step to take and consumers are wary, she said.
"I think we will all take interest in watching consumer acceptance. That's all I can say," said Jeff Cleveringa, association board president. Three other panelists did not comment.
Carter believes biotechnology is needed to help agriculture meet an ever-expanding global food demand. He also believes non-browning and other GMO apples could increase apple consumption and returns to growers.
Education, he said, is the key to reaching people concerned about GMOs.
"It's surprising how little they need to know before they say it's not so bad," he said.
Growers are interested in the benefits of reducing their environmental footprint and production costs, but are cautious, he said.
"They are concerned about consumer attitude. We like to say there's a big line-up to go second," Carter said, adding industry opposition is softening because of his transparency.
"It's only an apple where we turned off one enzyme," he said. "It's a great product. When people see it they will realize that."
He envisions demand starting with East Coast fruit stands looking for novelty items and small, fresh-slice companies recognizing the competitive advantage of saving the cost of traditional treatments of Vitamin C and calcium to prevent browning.
Tony Freytag, senior vice president of Crunch Pak in Cashmere, the largest producer of sliced apples, said that company has no intention of using Arctic apples.
The owner of a Yakima fruit company who Carter said favors the GMO apple declined to comment.
But John Rice, co-owner of Rice Fruit Co., Gardners, Pa., the largest apple packer on the East Coast, said he doesn't believe GMO apples would threaten the market. He wants to plant them when approved.
"I was very impressed with Neal Carter the first time I heard him speak. I'm a big fan of the work he is doing and am very hopeful his company will be successful," Rice said.
About 10 years ago, a European plum pox virus infected Rice's peach orchards. He cut them all down to save the rest of the industry. The Agricultural Research Service of USDA is working on genetically engineered rootstock and trees to make them resistant to the plum pox. But it didn't happen in time to help Rice.
"So to me the work Neal Carter is doing out in British Columbia is very encouraging in that it's private industry moving ahead in an area that could be helpful in tree fruit," Rice said.
Beside combating pests and disease, genetic engineering could be used, he said, simply to improve fruit quality.
"If you can silence a gene to prevent browning, there's great opportunity to make apples sweeter, juicier, firmer," Rice said. "There are so many things that could be done to increase satisfaction.
"I'm in the business of selling apples. We grow apples. We used to grow peaches. I've been doing it for 40 years. I've always felt if we could deliver a product of consistent quality, we could increase demand and the price customers are willing to pay.
"I think Neal Carter's work offers a great new frontier for improving our products."
With genetically modified corn and soybeans already in the American diet, one would think there would be wider acceptance of GMO in all crops, he said.
"But right now there's a pretty vociferous group that doesn't want anything affecting the food supply. I know people who hate Monsanto with a passion they would normally reserve for world villains," Rice said. "But as Neal says, don't you think we should be able to give customers the choice?"


text: Thursday, May 02, 2013 Move Forward Radio Discusses NEJM Study on Meniscal Tears and Knee OA The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) study showing physical therapy to be as effective as surgery for some patients with meniscal tears and osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee was the topic of conversation in today's episode of Move Forward Radio. Clare Safran-Norton, PT, PhD, MS, OCS, who participated in the MeTeOR Trial (Meniscal Tear in Osteoarthritis: A Random Controlled Trial), discussed the study, which showed no significant differences in functional improvement after 6 months between patients who opted for surgery with postoperative physical therapy and those who received standardized physical therapy alone.

Traditionally Top 30 season begins with the Reader Top 30 right after New Years, to prime us for discussing the system as a whole, we are going to take a walk through the positional groups in the system. The goal is to look at where they rank with regards to each other, how they profile going forward, and how they fit into the system as a whole. I will try to post one of these every couple of days starting with Catchers, and then proceeding through the other positional groups (Corner Infield, Middle Infield, Corner Outfield, Center Field, RH Starting Pitchers, LH Starting Pitchers, and Relievers). I am not James, nor am I a scout so I will be focusing on initiating the discussion rather than creating the narrative.
Additionally this will focus on "prospects" avoiding players who are organizational filler or minor league free agents. If I have missed someone you think deserves to be on this list let me know and they will be added.
To start, if you have not read it all already, here is gregg's positional recap of catchers.
Going into 2012 catcher was a relatively weak group in the system, but the trade acquisitions of Gabriel Lino and Tommy Joseph and the continued success of Cameron Rupp, catcher can be considered one of the strengths of the Phillies system. There are plenty of interesting prospects in the low minors but there are some log jams at the top. The big question is where all of the catchers will play and how many of them will still be in the system.
Sebastion Valle (22): Valle ended the year in AAA after starting in AA, he held his own but he still has not corrected problems with his contact ability and plate discipline. Valle is a good defensive catcher and has the ability to be above average behind the plate. He has plus raw power but he has not been able to consistently tap into it.
Tommy Joseph (21): Joseph was acquired from the Giants at the deadline. Joseph has plus to plus plus power and a good approach at the plate but he can struggle to make consistent contact. Joseph has made huge improvements behind the plate where he has a plus arm, he still struggles to block balls in the dirt. Joseph did not perform well in the AFL with illness slowing him down, with a slight bounce back at the end of the season.
Cameron Rupp (24): Rupp was a 3rd round pick in 2010, he has moved up a level a year with small improvements each year. Rupp may not have any plus tools, but he has no true weaknesses. For a player who can stick behind the plate that is profile that could be a borderline regular or above average back up even if there are no improvements. Rupp ended in Clearwater, and will need to move up a level so it remains to be seen how he fits with Joseph and Valle.
Gabriel Lino (19): Lino was acquired from Baltimore along with Kyle Simon in exchange for Jim Thome. Lino like Joseph and Valle has plus power and a really good arm behind the plate. Lino has well above average approach at the plate for his age, but he struggles too make good contact when he swings. Behind the plate Lino has the tools to be very good but eh struggles with footwork and blocking balls in the dirt. Lino is only 19 so another year in Low-A would not hurt his development if the ABs are there.
Josh Ludy (22): An 8th round pick in 2012 Ludy was assigned directly to Lakewood, he hit very well in his limited action. The tools profile as a back up catcher, and he will likely advance to Clearwater next year.
Logan Moore (22): Moore, a 9th round pick in 2011, has drawn rave reviews for his defense. However, his bat was not good in 2011 in his time split between Lakewood and Williamsport. If Moore never hits he could have a long career as a minor league catcher, if he is able to put together anything at the plate he could be a major league back up on defense alone. He could be pushed to Clearwater if the Phillies have given up on his offense as there may be a hole there if Lino is held back.
Chace Numata (20): Numata was very raw when the Phillies took him in the 14th round in 2010. His hitting improved over the course of the year but he was not spectacular. Numata will likely have to have a big year in 2013 in order to stay in the organization.
Willians Astudillo (21): Astudillo surprised with the numbers he achieved in the GCL. However, what makes him successful will not be sustainable at higher levels,. Astudillo puts everything in play and he does not draw walks or strike out. If he keeps up his good contact skills while being more selective against better pitchers he could be a very good prospect. 2013 will be a large test of how his skills translate.
Deivi Grullon (16): Grullon was one of the Phillies big money Latin America signings. Grullon profiles as a defense first catcher, with a plus arm that is improving and an advanced ability to block pitches in the dirt. Grullon has shown gap power but his swing can get long. Physically Grullon is a Carlos Ruiz clone, Ruiz was a low money middle infield signing who blossomed late in his career so Grullon will have to take a different path.
Some Questions Facing this Group:
Where will everyone play?
Is Valle, Joseph, or Rupp the Phillies catcher of the future?
Will any of the raw catchers in the low minors break out as a top catching prospect going forward?

Ulcers are slow-healing wounds on the skin. Diabetic foot ulcers occur on the feet of people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes . Diabetic foot ulcers usually occur on the bottom of the foot.
Diabetes can damage the nerves of the legs and feet. This may make it difficult to feel a blister or sore. If you don't care for a sore it may become larger and infected.
Diabetes also can cause problems with blood flow. Poor blood flow can make it difficult to heal.
The ulcer itself is usually caused by:
- Repetitive trauma or pressure on the foot
- Puncture wound on the foot
- Objects in the shoe that can damage the skin, such as a small rock
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of diabetic foot ulcers include:
- Neuropathy —numbness, tingling, or burning sensation in your feet
- Peripheral artery disease (PAD)—poor circulation in your legs
- Improperly fitted shoes
- A foot deformity, such a bunion
- Diabetes for more than 10 years
- Poor diabetes control (HbA1c > 9% )
- Not wearing shoes
- A history of smoking
Symptoms may include:
- Sores, ulcers, or blisters on the foot or lower leg
- Pain
- Difficulty walking
- Discoloration in feet: black, blue, or red
- Fever, skin redness, swelling, or other signs of infection
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your primary doctor may refer you to a foot specialist.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Wound culture
- Ankle-brachial pressure
Images may be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with:
- Doppler or arteriographic ultrasound to assess blood flow
- X-ray to look for infection
- MRI scan or CT scan to look for bone infection
The sooner a diabetic foot ulcer is treated, the better the outcome. Treatment options include the following:
Wound Care
Good wound care is important to help the ulcer heal and prevent infection. Make sure to clean the wound regularly. Change the dressings often to prevent infection.
No Weight-bearing
Constant pressure on the ulcer can make it difficult to heal. Pressure can be taken off the area with a special cast or boot. These will take the pressure off of the foot, but still make walking possible.
Blood Glucose Control
Infected ulcers can raise high blood glucose levels. High blood glucose levels can then lower the body's ability to fight infections. The high level also keeps the wound from healing.
Improved blood glucose control will help fight any infections and heal the wounds. This control is often done with adjustments in diet or medications. Sometimes insulin shots are needed in the short-term.
Healthy Habits
Smoking can slow healing and should be avoided.
Wear proper footwear. Make sure it fits well.
Skin Graft
Some large skin ulcers may have a hard time fully healing even with the treatments above. They may need a patch of skin to help close the wound. This process is called a skin graft. Bioengineered skin graft or human skin graft may be used.
If the ulcer is infected, antibiotics may be prescribed. They may need to be taken for 4-6 weeks. Do not skip doses. Finish the medication as directed.
Your doctor may also recommend a growth stimulating medication to place on the ulcer. The medication may help speed healing.
Dead tissue can build up inside and around the wound. This tissue will slow or prevent healing and increase risk of infection. Surgery may be needed to remove the dead tissue and clean the wound. This surgery is called debridement .
Bypass surgery may be needed to improve blood flow to the legs. This surgery uses healthy blood vessels to carry blood past areas of unhealthy blood vessels. The improved blood flow may help with wound healing.
Sometimes an infection is too severe or does not respond to treatment. As a last resort, amputation surgery may be needed. This is the removal of a body part to stop the infection from spreading to the rest of the body.
Other Treatments
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy may help with healing. This therapy is delivered in a chamber. Pure oxygen is pumped into the chamber. This helps to increase the amount of oxygen in the blood. The extra oxygen can improve healing.
Another option to help speed healing is using negative pressure wound therapy. A vacuum device and dressing are used to create negative pressure on the wound. This can help the wound heal faster.
To help reduce your chance of diabetic foot ulcers:
- Clean your feet daily. Dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes, before putting shoes and socks on.
- Do not wear garters and tight stockings around the legs.
- You may want to use petroleum jelly or an unscented lotion to moisturize dry, leathery feet. Do not put lotion between the toes. The extra moisture may attract bacteria.
- Inspect your feet daily. Look for sores that you may not be able to feel. Use a mirror or the assistance of another person to see all parts of your feet.
- Your doctor should look at your feet and test the feeling, flexibility, and circulation in them at least once a year. If you find a sore at any time, make an appointment to see your doctor right away.
- People with diabetes may have toenails that are brittle and difficult to cut. You may also want to have a foot specialist trim your toenails regularly.
- Buy properly fitted shoes. Some insurance companies will pay for custom-made shoes with inserts. A doctor can give you a prescription for the shoes.
- Avoid smoking.
- Talk to your doctor about exercise. Daily exercise will help to improve blood flow and blood glucose levels.
- Calluses can increase the pressure on the foot and lead to foot ulcers. Have your foot doctor remove any calluses. This could reduce the risk of developing a foot ulcer.
- Ask your doctor if you should use a special infrared thermometer. It can check the temperature of your feet.
- Improved control of your diabetes may reduce the risk of ulcers.

You're buying it wrong?
A Chinese teen has made headlines due to the lengths he went to obtain Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL) latest and greatest gadget, the iPad 2 tablet.
I. "I Want The One With the Bigger GBs!"
"I wanted to buy an iPad 2, but I didn't have the money," recalls a 17-year old boy identified only by his surname, "Zheng".
But without a college degree, Zheng's prospects weren't looking great. Average wages in major Chinese cities range from 1,000 to 5,000 RMB (CN¥). Zheng would like fall on the low end, making between 1,000 and 1,500 RMB. At the current going exchange rate of 500 RMB to $77.13 USD, it would take the young man several months to get the slick device.
So he made a shocking decision that brings to mind a legendary webcomic from the comic/satire blog The Oatmeal — he decided to sell an organ for the Apple device. He recalls, "When I surfed the internet I found an advert posted online by agent saying they were able to pay RMB20,000 to buy a kidney."
Sneaking out of his home, the youth traveled north to the city of Chenzhou in Hunan Province. Visiting a local hospital, he had his kidney removed. He was hospitalized for three days then discharged, with 22,000 RMB (appr. $3,394 USD) in hand. He used the money to reportedly buy his iPad as well as a MacBook and iPhone.
He tried to conceal his new gains from his mother, but she grew suspicious when she saw the Apple gadgets. Experiencing medical complications, the young man confessed what he did. States his mother, identified as "Miss Liu", "When he came back, he had a laptop and a new Apple handset. I wanted to know how he had got so much money and he finally confessed that he had sold one of his kidneys."
Shocked Miss Liu took her son to the Chenzhou police to report that he was the victim of a crime. But the agents whom Zheng had brokered the deal with had vanished, their cell phones dead. And the hospital claimed it contracted out its urology department to a private businessman. It denied knowledge of the businessman's identity or the surgeries he was performing. It appears the case has now been closed, due to lack of evidence.
II. Case Brings to Light Illicit Organ Trade
The irony of the incident is rather great, given that Apple CEO Steven P. Jobs is himself an organ donor recipient, having received a replacement liver after experiencing complications from his battle with pancreatic cancer.
What makes the incident even more sad and ironic is that Zheng's organ is unlikely to go to one of his many countrymen that need it. It is estimated that a million people in China need a transplant every year, but less than 10,000 receive organs.
While some locals are able to purchase organs on the black market, many black market organs instead go to foreign "transplant tourists". A report in the Japanese media last year claimed that foreigners were paying in excess of $80,000 USD for black market transplants in China. At that price most Chinese simply cannot afford the potentially life-saving transplant (the yearly income of blue-collar workers in China is around $6,000 USD).
III. Apple Demand: A Double Edged Sword For China
Older citizens in China have seized upon the news story as example of how China has lost its communist ways to the "evils" of unregulated capitalism. Writes one commenter on Hong Kong's Phoenix TV website, "This is a failure of education, the first purpose of which is to 'propagate morality'. This teenager's stupid behaviour is a manifestation of his radically materialistic values."
Another commenter chimes in, "To sell a kidney in order to buy consumer goods? What vanity! It is undeniable that modern Chinese teenagers' morality is declining. This is something we must all think about."
In China Apple devices are often more expensive then they are in the U.S. The gadgets are increasingly coveted by youth as status symbols. The high demand among teens for the devices has led to many other issues, including fights outside Beijing Apple stores during the recent launch of the iPad 2 and white iPhone 4.
The international demand for Apple products has been a double-edged sword for China economically. While it has created a large number of jobs at manufacturing facilities, Apple's demands of cheaper contracts than its rivals and higher quality have led factories to force tens of thousands of Chinese to slave away long hours in what some say amounts to "sweatshop" conditions. A recent internal audit from Apple revealed numerous abuses of workers at Chinese plants that contribute to the company's gadgets.

Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and family history. A physical exam will be done. Recommended tests may include:
Blood Tests
These tests measure the blood levels of thyroid hormones. This can be done by checking levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4, and at times, free T3. The levels of these hormones determine the activity of the thyroid gland. Your blood may also be examined for thyroid antibodies, especially if you are pregnant.
Radioiodine Uptake
This test is used to help define the cause of hyperthyroidism. The thyroid gland uses iodine to make thyroid hormones. For this test, you will orally ingest radioactive iodine. Some of it is taken up by the thyroid gland. The amount of radioactivity is then measured by a radiation counter. In Graves disease , the amount is elevated. This test is not done on children or pregnant women.
Thyroid Scan
This test may be done at the same time as the radioiodine uptake to evaluate one or more problematic nodules. If suspected on exam, a thyroid ultrasound may also be done. A thyroid nodule may or may not be functioning and is termed hot if it makes too much thyroid hormone, or cold if it does not make any.

| 8.5°C Belfast
Former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks has spoken of her "shock and horror" when she learned that the newspaper hacked murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's voicemails while she was editor.
The 45-year-old told the Old Bailey she only found out on July 4, 2011 that 13-year-old Milly's messages had been illegally accessed by the newspaper, and had known nothing about the tasking of phone hacker Glenn Mulcaire at the time.
As she returned to the witness box for the third day, the former News International chief executive was questioned about the 2002 story of the missing Surrey schoolgirl, which was to go on to bring about the Sunday tabloid's downfall.
Brooks, who denies conspiring to hack phones, conspiring to commit misconduct in public office and conspiring to cover up evidence to pervert the course of justice, revealed that she did not know when she was editing the NotW that hacking was illegal.
She also told the court that hypothetically, if there was a strong enough public interest for a story, she might have authorised hacking while she was editor.
Asked about her reaction when she found out in 2011 that Milly's phone had been hacked by the NotW when she was at the helm, Brooks, of Churchill, Oxfordshire, said: "Shock, horror, everything.
"I was told that the NotW had asked someone to access Milly Dowler's phone while she was missing, that they had also deleted her voicemails and for a period of time because of that her parents had been given false hope and thought she was alive.
"I just think anyone would think that that was pretty abhorrent, so my reaction was that. That was what I was told."
Milly disappeared on March 21, 2002, the court heard, and while still missing, her voicemails were hacked the following month, between April 10 and 12.
The court heard that Brooks was on holiday in Dubai with then-partner Ross Kemp from April 7 - 14, leaving her then-deputy Andy Coulson, a co-defendant in the trial, in charge.
Under questioning from her lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw QC, Brooks said the fact that private investigator Glenn Mulcaire - who has pleaded guilty to phone hacking - had been tasked with hacking Milly's phone was never brought to her attention before July 4, 2011.
She said she did not remember any discussion about Milly's disappearance when she checked in with her staff, and did not recall leaving a conversation in Dubai to take a phone call about the missing schoolgirl.
Brooks said the high level of contact between her and the NotW - including calls to the editor's office and texts with Coulson - while she was away was not "at all unusual", as she checked on the progress of that week's edition.
But she denied playing any part in the apparent removal of the text of a hacked voicemail message mistakenly left on Milly's phone by a recruitment agency, which appeared in the NotW's first and second edition on April 14, but later disappeared from the third, as well as a decision to move the article from page nine to p30.
Asked by Mr Laidlaw what she would have done if someone had told her on the Thursday or Friday that they had a lead on the whereabouts of Milly, Brooks said she would have told them: "Tell the police.
"I would have assumed probably that they would have told the police before me. If they had not, I would have told them to do so.
"If they had a lead that she was alive or they had found her, that would have been the correct thing to do."
Brooks told the court that she had never been asked to sanction the use of phone hacking to get stories while she was editor between 2000 and 2003.
But she admitted she did not actually know the practice was illegal, saying: "If you took my editorship of the News of the World at the time, I don't think anybody, me included, knew it was illegal.
"No one, no desk head, no journalist, ever came to me and said 'We're working on so-and-so a story but we need to access their voicemail' or asked my sanction to do it. It just didn't happen in the course of my editorship."
She said even though she did not know it was illegal, she would still have felt it was a " serious breach of privacy."
But she said although she had never sanctioned hacking, she might have done in the right circumstance and if there was a strong public interest.
She said: "If somebody had come to me with the right set of circumstances and asked me ... something to do with paedophiles, Roy Whiting... something along those lines... and had asked me with a good set of reasons, I may have done."
Earlier Brooks said she was unaware of a £92,000 a year contract the tabloid had with Mulcaire and said although the use of private detectives by Fleet Street at the time was "pretty normal", she had never heard his name before he was arrested.
Brooks, 45; Coulson, 46; former NotW royal eidtor Clive Goodman, 56; Brooks' former personal assistant Cheryl Carter, 49; Brooks' racehorse trainer husband Charles Brooks, 50; head of security at News International Mark Hanna, 50; and ex-NotW managing editor Stuart Kuttner, 73, deny all charges.
The case was adjourned until tomorrow.

You may have heard that losing weight is as easy as eating less and exercising more. It is true that taking in fewer calories than you use each day is the simplest way to lose weight, but it is never easy. Never mind the fad diets, weight-loss pills, and herbal remedies—it all comes down to a balanced diet and a regular exercise program.
The first step is determining your current weight status: Are you underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese?
A good measure for this is the Body Mass Index (BMI), a standardized method used by health professionals to evaluate weight and body fat. BMI is calculated by using your weight and height. It helps give you an indication of whether you are at risk of health problems that are related to being overweight or obese. If your BMI is 25 or higher, you are at risk for a number of serious health problems, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, pregnancy-related disorders, and osteoarthritis.
If you want to know your BMI, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website is equipped with BMI calculators for childen and teens, and adults.
BMI values are interpreted as follows:
- 18.4 or less = underweight
- 18.5-24.9 = normal weight
- 25-29.9 = overweight
- 30 and over = obese
Although this is a reliable method, it is not foolproof. Because muscle tissue weighs more than fat tissue, heavily muscled people may fall into the obese range when they are not obese.
To lose weight, you need to take in fewer calories than you use. This is where your diet comes in, which may be in need of an overhaul. Be aware that you do not want to lower your calories at the expense of nutrition. Think of your new eating habits as a lifestyle change. Adding more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to your diet, while cutting back on animal protein, saturated fat, and cholesterol, are good for you no matter what your age. Creating a healthful diet that you can stick to throughout your life will help you achieve and maintain your desired weight. Losing even 10% of your body weight may lower your blood pressure and reduce your risk of diabetes.
It may also be a good idea to keep track of how much you eat and drink. It's better to eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day. Eating smaller portions has been linked to weight loss and maintenance over time. And of all the meals, breakfast is most important. Skipping breakfast has been associated with increased body weight. Make sure your breakfast is packed with fruits and whole grains—think oatmeal with slices of apple, not bacon and eggs.
If you are having a hard time getting started, consider talking with a dietitian for ideas with meal planning.
To lose weight, you need to use more calories than you take in. This is where exercise comes in. Not only does regular exercise help you get to an ideal weight, it can help you stay there too. Additionally, muscle burns more calories than fat, so building up your muscles will allow you to eat more while maintaining your weight. If you do not exercise already, it is time to get started.
There are several different types of exercise that you can do. An ideal exercise program combines four types of exercise:
A good goal for many people to work up to is exercising 4-6 times a week for 30-60 minutes at a time. Some guidelines suggest that to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, one should consider doing 150 minutes of moderate to intense aerobic activity weekly. Make sure you talk with your doctor before beginning any kind of exercise program. Your doctor can help you develop an exercise routine that will meet your weight and health goals.
Now that you have the tools, getting started is up to you. Start slowly, have carrots or an apple for a snack, instead of a bag of chips. Take a walk around the block before or after work today. Just remember, the sooner you begin working toward your ideal weight, the sooner you can reap the healthful benefits.
