This month we review a book that proves vegan cooking can encompass delicious recipes from many cultures.
Vegan Planet
By Robin Robertson
Harvard Common Press, 2003
Paper 18.95
Many people seem awed that someone could create even one original recipe. For Robin, it seems that recipes flow out of her kitchen with ease. As evidenced by Vegan Planet's multitude of recipes and her past works, the author easily demonstrates her flair for originality by combining ingredients that result in an inimitable blending of flavors that truly satisfies.
Robin, a former chef, vegetarian cooking instructor, and food writer, tells her readers that this book is the culmination of many years of study, experience, inspiration and dedication. Indeed, her years of hard work and perseverance in the field of creating exceptional foods are clearly apparent in this monumental cookbook.
Not only did the author create an outstanding cookbook, but also she provides a guide to vegan eating and health information as well. Her extensive research into vegan nutrition has given her the knowledge base she shares with her readers.
To those who wonder what on earth vegans eat and are convinced the regimen is so limited that followers suffer deprivation, she responds, "a well-balanced vegan diet can provide all the nutrition we need" with a world of choice.
The chapter on Vegan Basics covers important dietary and shopping information that vegans need to know in order to maintain a healthy body and mind and to build a well-balanced food pantry. Covered are subjects such as proteins, vitamin B12, an explanation of the term organic, egg and dairy alternatives, a primer on tofu and soy meats, a recipe for homemade seitan, oils, salt, sea vegetables, a brief glossary of various flours, sweeteners, and notes about hidden animal ingredients. This section could actually benefit everyone, not just vegans or vegetarians.
Love at First Bite offers an extensive selection of appetizer ideas such as Baked Sweet Potato and Green Pea Samosas that are a great way to transform leftover sweet potatoes into a delectable starter. Five-Spice Portobello Satays, and Three-Onion Appetizer Pie were two more appetizers that held special appeal in the section that offers 20 appetizer recipes.
A helpful feature is the listing of recipes at the beginning of each chapter along with the page numbers--a sort of internal index system that allows the cook to choose a recipe that appeals without having to thumb through each page of that section.
Soups That Satisfy presents 25 creative soup ideas, some cold for summer and some steaming hot for warming the winter chill. Celebrate a marriage or anniversary with the Italian Wedding Soup, imagine touring the East coast and spooning up the New England-Style Chowder, or enjoy slurping Southern style with the Sassy Vegetable Gumbo. Soups rely on a good stock to form the base of a tasty recipe. Robin offers not just one, but three recipes that get soup off to a good start: Basic Vegetable Stock, Mushroom Stock, and a Super-Rich Vegetable Stock.
Salads and Slaws proves one can dine on the lighter side, yet enjoy pungent flavors and complete satiety. The Mediterranean Lima Bean Salad with Grape Tomatoes, Kalamata Olives, and Marinated Tofu rates as having the longest title, yet offers temptation with its hearty and flavorful ingredients.
Good old stand-bys are featured in the Sauces and Dressings section. Vegan versions such as Tofu Sour Cream, Soy Mayonnaise, Eggless Hollandaise, and Vegan Bechamel Sauce appear along with recipes that tout an upbeat flair like Mango Sunburst Sauce and Avocado-Wasabi Sauce.
The weighty book contains a host of additional chapters that include chutneys and condiments, vegetable dishes, grain dishes, pastas, beans, stews and chilis, grilling recipes and stir fries.
The Global Oven inspires one to recreate the flavors of world cuisines. One can almost inhale the exotic aromas of cardamom, cayenne, and peanuts that flavor the Sweet Potato Gratin with Pineapple and Coconut Milk, or imagine oneself on a Greek island feasting on Tempeh and Eggplant Moussaka.
Robin reveals her love of the kitchen throughout the book but especially in the innovative chapter called Simply Stuffed. Eggplant, zucchini, cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, bell peppers, chiles, potatoes, squashes, pastas, and tofu all become the stuffing vessels.
Sixteen pizza recipes and two recipes for making pizza dough offer plenty of ideas for a successful pizza party, while the Sandwiches, Wraps and Burgers chapter provides a host of informal meals for family or fun gatherings.
Dessert Heaven contains a myriad of sinfully delectable sweets that many consider the best part of the meal. Difficult to resist are the Coconut-Macadamia Cheesecake, Fresh Peach Crisp with Almond Butter Cream or Pumpkin-Rum Couscous Cake. Following the dessert section is one that features smoothies and beverages.
An unusual placement, Don't Skip Breakfast, the last chapter, appears after Desserts and Smoothies and just before the valuable Resources and the extensive Index. However, it's packed with a plethora of robust breakfast dishes.
One frustration, though only a small one, is that the book's graphic designer chose a difficult-to read type style for the recipe titles. That aside, the book design, shaded side bars, and attractive line drawings create an outstanding package.
Vegan Planet by Robin Robertson belongs in every vegan kitchen. An excellent reference tool as well as a library of innovative foods and veganized standard recipes, the book offers everything the cook requires in one single volume. The recipes are not complex, yet they combine a complexity of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors. Both the novice cook and the seasoned home chef can take pleasure in preparing Robin's artful food compositions.

Story Description:
Touchstone|June 5, 2012|Hardcover|ISBN: 978-1-4516-7276-3
From the acclaimed bestselling author of Must Love Dogs comes a winning and witty new novel about a woman who emerges from the shadow of her overbearing family and finds herself "dancing with the stars."
Deirdre Griffin has a great life; it's just not her own. She's the around-the-clock personal assistant to her charismatic, high-maintenance, New Age guru brother, Tag. As the family wallflower, her only worth seems to be as gatekeeper to Tag at his New England seaside compound.
Then Deirdre's sometime boyfriend informs her that he is marrying another woman, who just happens to be having the baby he told Deidre he never wanted. While drowning her sorrows in Tag's expensive vodka, Deirdre decides to use his massive online following to get herself voted on as a last-minute Dancing With The Stars replacement. It'll get her back in shape, mentally and physically. It might even get her a life of her own. Deirdre's fifteen minutes of fame have begun.
Irresistible and offbeat, Wallflower in Bloom is an original and deeply satisfying story of having the courage to take a leap into the spotlight, not matter where you land.
My Review:
Chick-lit at its best! Claire Cook's Wallflower in Bloom makes for an easy, fun, quick, beach or vacation read.
This story is the best example of one I've read where a woman totally loses herself in the service of others, mainly her family. How many of us women are guilty of this very thing? Completely losing ourselves, putting our desires, needs, wants, and wishes aside for the sake of everyone else. I myself am guilty of this obligatory commitment I feel to ensure everyone else is okay and has what they need at the risk of in the end being too worn out and tired to fight for myself because I feel I don't deserve it. My service is to others.
In Wallflower in Bloom, Deirdre literally runs her famous, New Age Guru brother, Tag's life. She is on call twenty-four-hours-per-day. She lives in a converted sheep shed on his large New England seaside compound.
Deirdre one day decides she is sick and tired of living in Tag's shadow, being his personal assistant and decides to change things by signing up for 'Dancing with the Stars'! She's just had enough, and more than her fill of being his personal assistant, his social media guru, and managing both his personal and business lives.
After a night of drinking very abnormal cocktails made with Tag's very, very expensive liquor, she hops on his social media site and encourages Tag's thousands of followers to vote for her as the wildcard replacement on 'Dancing With the Stars'.
Soon Deirdre finds she's really not cut-out to be a dancer, carries a bit too much weight but can't stop indulging herself in some of her favourite fattening foods when she gets frustrated or put down by Tag. However, Ilya is a marvelous, professional dancer who is able to help her learn. He has the patience of a saint. Deirdre realizes with five to six hours of practising the same dance steps over and over and over every single day that she must somehow forget the "wallflower" part of her personality and really "bloom!" or make a total laughing stock of herself.
The term "chiasmus" is used a lot in the story and if you don't know what it is now, you will completely understand it by the end of the novel.
Claire Cook has always had a great sense of humour and it shines through bright and glittery in Wallflower in Bloom! I can't wait to share this one with my friends.

Holocaust Era Insurance Claims Commission (ICHEIC) To Close
March 29, 2007
New York claimants have received more than $27 million in awards
New York, NY: The New York State Banking Department and the Department of Insurance today announced the successful completion of all claims and appeals processes by the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims (ICHEIC). ICHEIC will officially close on March 30, 2007.
ICHEIC, which the New York State Department of Insurance is a founding member, was the first international agency created for the sole purpose of settling Holocaust era insurance claims to complete all claims and appeals processes.
Since its formation in 1998, ICHEIC has processed more than 48,000 claims leading to $306.24 million in awards for Holocaust victims and their families. More than $27 million of that amount was awarded to approximately 4,227 claimants from the State of New York.
New York's Holocaust Claims Processing Office (HCPO), which was established in 1997 to provide free assistance to Holocaust victims and their heirs attempting to recover assets lost, looted or stolen during the Holocaust, submitted claims on behalf of more than 2,200 claimants to ICHEIC, which led to more than $20 million in awards. The New York State Banking and Insurance Departments jointly fund the nine-member HCPO.
"This was never just about getting compensation for the loss of assets, but about providing a measure of justice, however small, to victims of the Holocaust and their families," said Acting Insurance Superintendent Eric R. Dinallo. "The New York Insurance and Banking Departments can be justly proud of their roles in supporting the Holocaust Claims Processing Office. The Insurance Department's role in helping establish the International Commission on Holocaust Era Insurance Claims is a shining moment in this Department's history."
"By working with ICHEIC and a multitude of international claims processes, the HCPO has led the way in fighting for justice for Holocaust survivors and their heirs," said Richard H. Neiman, Acting Superintendent of Banks. "While I'm proud of the successful completion of the ICHEIC claims process, there is still more work to be done. In addition to filing and monitoring claims for other assets, the HCPO continues to work with claimants to settle insurance claims directly with European insurers and other compensation organizations in order to provide some small measure of justice to Holocaust victims worldwide."
Since 1997, the Holocaust Claims Processing Office has provided institutional assistance to individuals seeking to recover assets deposited in European banks, monies that European insurance companies failed to pay policy beneficiaries, and artworks that were lost, stolen, or sold under duress prior to and during the Second World War. The office has responded to more than 13,000 inquiries resulting in 4,773 claims from 45 states and 37 countries. The total value of assets recovered by the HCPO on behalf of claimants is more than $78 million.
The New York State Banking Department is the regulator for all state-chartered banking institutions, virtually all of the United States offices of international banking institutions, all of the State's mortgage brokers, mortgage bankers, check cashers and budget planners. The aggregate assets of the depository institutions supervised by the Banking Department are over $1.5 trillion.
In addition to regulating banking institutions, the Banking Department is active in informing and educating all New Yorkers on banking matters. To contact the Banking Department, please call 1-877-BANK-NYS or visit our Web site at www.banking.state.ny.us.
The New York State Insurance Department supervises and monitors the financial condition and market conduct of insurers. The Department has responsibility for approving corporate formations, mergers and consolidations of insuring organizations; licensing insurance agents, brokers, adjusters, consultants and reinsurance intermediaries; and disciplining licensees that violate the Insurance Law. The Department regulates premium rates and policy forms and provisions; services complaints and inquiries from consumers; administers the affairs of companies that are placed in liquidation or rehabilitation; and investigates insurance fraud. The Department regulates companies with assets under management of approximately $4 trillion.

January 09, 2013 08:00 ET
SUDBURY, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan. 9, 2013) - Northern Superior Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:SUP) ("Northern Superior" or the "Company") wishes to provide a further update to the press release dated December 20, 2012 regarding the status of its 100% owned Ti-paa-haa-ka-ing (TPK) (Figure 1 - http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/sup109-F1.pdf) gold property in Northwestern Ontario.
Exploration advances on the TPK project in 2012 were many and positive. Targeting on this gold project has been refined and new opportunities discovered. Six (6) of the eight (8) diamond drill targets defined by the reverse circulation program completed in 2010 have yet to be tested further (see press release, December 8th, 2011) including the two (2) primary targets. Drilling by Northern Superior's former option partner was focused on two targets (25.9 g/t Au over 13.5 meters, see press release, December 13, 2010), as well as the far western portion of Target area 2.
The potential for significant gold mineralization has been enhanced by the exploration efforts of Northern Superior on its adjoining New Growth property (Figure 1). The six (6) km long gold-bearing shear zone and associated gold grain-in-till dispersal apron as defined on TPK (see press release, December 6, 2011) that typically indicates a large scale gold system rather than a single anomaly (see press release, June 21, 2010), was extended to 24 kilometers onto the New Growth property. At least five (5) new diamond drill ready gold targets were identified on the New Growth property (see press release, December 6, 2011).
In addition, a robust gold grain-in-till corridor (3.5km wide) was defined on the New Growth Annex property (Figure 1) (see press release, October 25, 2011). Mineralized boulders recovered from within this corridor assayed up to 727 g/t gold, 53.7 g/t silver and 1.92% copper (see press release, December 7, 2011).
A geophysical survey and limited diamond drilling completed by Northern Superior at the head of this corridor on the New Growth Annex property led to the discovery of a new mineralized structure with a minimum length of 1km. The Company reported an assay of 4.62 g/t gold over 5.5m (including 20.8 g/t gold over 1.0m) (see press release, December June 25, 2012).
Northern Superior continues to have, and continues to foster, a strong and positive relationship with Neskantaga First Nation. Neskantaga and Northern Superior remain committed to working together to advance exploration on Neskantaga's traditional lands upon which the TPK, New Growth and New Growth Annex properties occur (see press release, July 6, 2012).
Dr. T.F. Morris, President and CEO commented: "Exploration completed thus far on all three properties has clearly demonstrated the opportunity that exists for the potential discovery of camp-scale gold, silver and copper mineralization. To assist in efficiently facilitating future exploration programs, an exploration camp has been established on site complete with enough fuel to support another phase of drilling. As Northern Superior is currently focused on its Croteau Est gold discovery in Quebec, all exploration data on the three northwestern Ontario properties are being compiled into a single data base in order to pursue a joint venture partner to finance future exploration programs."
About Northern Superior Resources Inc.
Northern Superior is junior exploration company exploring for gold in the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. The Company has over $8 million cash in the bank and is currently focused on exploring its Croteau Est/Waconichi gold properties in Quebec. The Company has a number of 100% owned properties in the Stull-Wunnumin and Chibougamau gold districts (see Company website, www.nsuperior.com).
Northern Superior is a reporting issuer in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec, and trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol SUP.

Toddlers Co-Lead Teacher
One of my favorite attributes of Faith Lutheran School is the strong sense of community: teachers and parents want to be here, and each morning feels like a celebration as we all come together for a new day of learning. Also, I am continually inspired by the warmth and love shown by those in the larger Faith community toward our little school. Teachers here know we are supported by them and that helps us to do God's work every day! I have a MS Ed from Bark Street College where I specialized in the development of children 0-3 years old: Infant and Family Development and Early Intervention. I have 9 years of teaching experience.
Saiba Chaddha
Multi-Age Preschool Support Teacher
The moment I walked into Faith, I felt a strong connection and knew that this is where I belong. As teaching being my 'Gung -Ho' I wanted Faith to be my second home. Each day has been a great learning experience and I look forward to a wonderful time ahead. I have a BA in Education and 3 years of teaching experience.
Jenn De Shaw
Preschool Co-Lead Teacher
For me, what attracted me to Faith was the feeling I got when I stepped into that first classroom. It was an environment of fun, learning, and faith. It felt like coming home. The reality of all that is what will keep me here and has me excited about teaching, learning, and growing with all the amazing children and staff. I am working on my AA in Early Childhood Education and have 10 years of teaching experience.
Sarah Farnam
Preschool Support Teacher
As a teacher my goal was to make a difference in each children's life that comes into my room, here at Faith not only do I get to make a difference in their life, they have also touched my life. Every time you walk into a classroom you can see the joy of learning taking place. It's been an amazing journey working here at faith and I feel so blessed to have the Faith Family in my life. I have a BA in Elementary Education, Minors in Math and Science from Eastern Washington University, and 9 years of teaching experience.
Cathy Frechette
Office Manager and School Registrar
Faith is one of my happy places. Every day I can experience something that makes me smile or laugh whether it is a child's smile, something adorable a child did or something a parent or staff member did that made my day. There is a lot of joy at this school and I'm grateful to work here.

Multi-Age Preschool Support Teacher
My journey with Faith Lutheran School started in 2009, when my oldest daughter attended the school. I immediately noticed that it was an excellent place for children with a great academic program, where teachers show patience and love. It encouraged me to send my two younger boys to Faith too. Since 2009, this school became part of my family. Watching the students grow everyday, makes me happy and I love to spend my time with these children. Teaching has always been my passion. I appreciate the opportunity to be a teacher at FLS and being here gives me the opportunity to grow and learn each day. I am working on my AA in Early Childhood Education degree from Lake Washington Institute of Technology. I have 5 years of teaching experience and also have a Masters in Law and Business Administration from the University of Wroclaw.

Toddlers Co-Lead Teacher
I am at Faith by the grace of God. I honestly do not remember sending a resume or filling out an application. I received a phone call requesting an interview. I immediately felt at home and knew I would enjoy working here. I had worked for 25 years in another location and wasn't sure I would ever find that feeling again. I truly appreciate the staff, parents and children at Faith and hope to stay for many years. I have a BA in Education with Special Education Endorsement from Eastern Washington University and 29 years of teaching experience.
Michelle Huskamp

Five years ago I was called to teach at Faith. I have stayed because the staff, students, and families have become home to me. The community and support is incredible, and I couldn't imagine teaching anywhere else. I have a BA in Latin American Studies/Spanish from Seattle of Pacific University and over 10 years of teaching experience.

I work at Faith because this is my second family. The children, families, and teachers are so supportive of one another that I feel at home, and embracing the importance between the connection of home and school is very important to me. I am a strong advocate for providing healthy lifestyles for children, and watching them learn and grow is my true passion. Faith Lutheran School provides an environment where early childhood educators feel appreciated and professional, which correlates to positive student outcomes. I have a Master of Arts in Education; specializing in Adult Education for Early Childhood Educators, and a Bachelor of Arts in Human Development; Specialization and Certification in Child Development and Care. I have 11 years of teaching experience.
Gina Mousseau
Kindergarten Prep Support Teacher
I teach at FLS because I feel valued here by staff and parents. This is a community of support and caring. The loving hearts of the teachers here at FLS shine through in their work and how they treat others. The pride of FLS staff is contagious. What is most significant is the teachers live the virtues that they teach.

I am so grateful to be a apart of the amazing team here and I hope to stay for a long time! I have done State Training and Registry System Child Care Course.

Heather Wong
Kindergarten Prep Lead Teacher
God brought me to Faith for many reasons; most importantly to give children the gift of time – another year to grow academically, socially and emotionally before entering Kindergarten. The Kindergarten Prep program is a perfect fit for children who just missed the cut off for Kindergarten, or would benefit from an extra year to progress in a loving, nurturing, preparatory program. As a teacher here, I appreciate the fact that we collaborate as a staff and we have a supportive and caring connection with all of our families. It's a blessing to see our students grow, mature, and flourish here at Faith Lutheran School! I have a BA in Elementary Education, Minors in Early Childhood Education and Japanese, from Central Washington University, and 18 years of teaching experience.


text: SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Low-income Medicaid patients in New Mexico may soon have to pay more for certain brand-name drugs or if they visit the emergency room to receive routine medical care, under a reform plan submitted Wednesday to federal regulators. The state Human Services Department applied for federal authorization of new copayments and monthly premiums in an effort to conserve state spending on Medicaid health care for the poor and disabled. Human Service Secretary Brent Earnest said New Mexico's waiver application also would expand services for substance abuse disorders and phase out retroactive health care coverage by 2020 for newly enrolled patients. Use of the emergency room for non-emergencies would cost Medicaid patients $25 per visit. A $10 copayment would apply to brand name drugs when cheaper equivalents are approved and available. At the same time, New Mexico officials want to remove existing copayments under the Children's Health Insurance Program and a program for working people with disabilities. Taken together, the Medicaid changes would save the state general fund an estimated $90 million over a five-year period. Approval is up to the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. New Mexico residents flocked to enroll in Medicaid after the state expanded coverage in 2014 to include single patients living just above the federal poverty line. But enrollment has declined this year by tens of thousands of people as the Human Services Department cleared a backlog of expired enrollments. "We haven't seen people coming back to the programs as we might have expected," Earnest said, referring to enrollment declines in Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program. He also linked declining enrollment to increased local economic activity.

Deer overpopulation taking economic toll
If you think deer are cute woodland creatures like Bambi, think again. In the real world - to the extent that suburbs like mine are the real world - deer are pests. "Rats with hooves" is the term for them in my household, which is plagued by deer that eat our plants, defecate all over our yard and show no fear of humans. Then there's the issue of Lyme disease carried by deer ticks, an especially serious problem if you've got young kids or grandkids. And there's the scare we got last year when a deer herd began crossing the six-lane highway on which were driving at 60 miles an hour.
In the Disney movie, of course, hunters shot Bambi's mother. I used to think that was terrible. Now, though, I think what's terrible is not that Bambi's mother was shot, but that the hunters didn't also get Bambi, his father, and the rest of the herd.
And since I'm supposed to write about business, not vent about wildlife, let me show you some numbers about how appallingly expensive rats with hooves are in terms of dollars and human lives.
We're talking big bucks here. (You can groan now.) Deer-vehicle accidents resulted in more than $3.8 billion of insurance claims and driver costs in the year ended June 30, according to State Farm Insurance. Such collisions resulted in about 140 human deaths, according to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Serious stuff.
We're not even including the financial and social cost of Lyme disease, the expense of hauling away deer carcasses, and the cost in money and time protecting vegetation and crops from voracious deer predation.
State Farm estimates that in the 12 months ended June 30, there were 1.1 million deer-vehicle accidents nationwide that resulted in $3.8 billion of insurance payouts and driver costs. The total exceeds $4 billion when we throw in the cost of accidents in which no claims were made because drivers had no comprehensive insurance on their vehicles, or no insurance at all.
The costs in the adjacent chart combine State Farm's estimate of an average $3,103 per claim paid by insurers with the estimated deductible, $250, absorbed by drivers. We're using a $3,353 cost per accident in all states, because State Farm doesn't provide state-by-state data.
You see that in 16 states, costs run nine digits. In Virginia, by State Farm's estimate, there were nearly 52,000 deer-related accidents last year that cost $174.3 million. In Maryland, deer-vehicle collisions numbered close to 32,000 at a cost of $106.9 million. Even the District of Columbia, not known as a woodland paradise, has roughly 500 deer-vehicle accidents a year, according to State Farm. (You can blame most of them on the deer infesting Rock Creek Park.)
State Farm has published data about deer accidents for seven years to get attention for its accident-mitigation tips: be especially vigilant from 6 to 9 p.m.; remember that deer usually travel in herds; don't rely on car-mounted deer whistles; and so on. It does some interesting math to reach its conclusions. It extrapolates total deer-vehicle damage based on claims made by its policy holders. For example, if State Farm has a third of the auto policies in a given state, it multiplies its cost and the number of accidents by three.
State Farm says there were 21 percent more accidents reported in the 2009-2010 survey than five years earlier, even though vehicle-miles driven are up only 2 percent. That's a telling statistic. It means either that drivers have gotten a lot worse at avoiding deer, which seems unlikely, or there are a lot more deer on the roads than there used to be, which seems extremely likely.
Last year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration counted 182 deaths caused by animal-vehicle collisions. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety estimates that 75 to 80 percent of those deaths involve deer. Call it 140 people killed last year because Bambi was where he didn't belong.
Look, I'm all in favor of cute woodland creatures - as long as they stay in the woods, and aren't destroying the habitat on which plants, birds, insects and reptiles depend. Yeah, deer are just animals and it's not their fault, but they're a menace because there are far too many of them. When you see the New Jersey Audubon Society allowing carefully selected people onto its nature preserves to shoot deer, as it has since 2005, you know that an excess of deer is an ecological disaster.
The next time some bleeding-heart tells you how cruel it is to kill deer to keep them from hurting people and causing property damage, wave these death and damage numbers around. Up with people! Down with Bambi!

CNET Update
Comcast-Time Warner deal riles up consumersConsumers voice concerns over cable merger, Verizon offers a new data plan, and Facebook members can select from more than 50 gender choices.
It's time to complain about evil cable companies. I'm Bridget Carey and this is your CNET update. Comcast and Time Warner Cable, America's two largest cable companies, agreed to merge, forming the ultimate mega, evil cable company. Okay, I'm just joking, but people sure do hate their cable companies because after the news broke, Twitter was filled with people making fun of how horrible life will be for customers under the merger. Some cry out how it will raise internet and television costs for consumers and it will make it harder for rivals to come in and challenge the cable behemoth, and by being so large, it won't have incentive to do right by customers and improve. But these two cable giants, of course, argue the opposite that this marriage will be good for consumers by saving money, and they will improve the tech offerings to better compete against new players like Google Fiber. Bottom line is that it's not approved yet. Nothing is changing for a while, and you'll still feel grumpy about the quality of your customer service. In other giant tech company news, Verizon Wireless changed up its data plans to be more competitive. There's a new more everything plan that promises more data, 25 gigs of cloud storage and unlimited international messaging. And for those that are paying for their phone in full to upgrade early with the Edge monthly installment plan, you'll finally get a break on your service bill, which is what the other carriers already offer. If you own an Xbox One, you may soon be able to control it with the new Xbox One remote. Amazon's Canadian store front temporarily published a preorder page for an item called the Xbox One Media Remote, and before it was taken down, screenshots showed that it would go for around $25 when it launches on March 4th. Microsoft has yet to announce such a product, but Microsoft is selling a new Xbox headset in March. And that's not the only Microsoft leak, this image posted on Twitter shows Microsoft is trying to make it easier on app developers with something called Universal Store. It will let programmers create a single app that works for both Windows phone and the Windows desktop. On Facebook, you have more ways now to identify your gender. Facebook added about 50 different terms that people can pick from if they don't want to go with male or female. Some of the choices include androgynous, bigender, transsexual, and gender fluid. There's also the option of picking what pronoun you want people to go by, him, her, or them as a neutral choice. These new options will be available first for US members. That's your tech news update, but you could find more details at CNET.com/update, and you can also stay updated by following along on Twitter. From our studios in New York, I'm Bridget Carey.

Excellencies, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
Let me first apologize for being delayed today. It was my intention to open the Conference this morning, but unfortunately my departure from Washington D.C. was postponed. During my visit to Washington I had the opportunity to meet with my US counterpart, foreign secretary Rex Tillersson. We exchanged views on several issues that are also highly relevant for todays' conference such as the Syrian conflict, the Coalition against ISIS and the growing rivalry in the region. We agreed that we must remain engaged in the region and that there are many challenges to be handled. That is also why our conference today is very timely.
The MENA-region is subject to much analysis and we are not the first to try to wrap our heads around the many dilemmas. Just by looking at the more recent history, we can see how several complex dynamics have shaped the region. At the start of the First World War and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, where the region was dominated by Europe. Afterwards, as the pan-Arabic movement and independence struggles took shape, the countries developed much of their national political heritage. And during the Cold War, the region was divided into Soviet and American client states. In recent years however, the dynamics have become more complex, with the gradual refocusing of American policy and the emergence of new actors and regional power structures.
The MENA-region has not yet settled into a stable regional order. The Arab Spring in 2011 is the latest example in a series of attempts to change the political landscape. Today we also see the re-emergence of Russia as a central actor in the region alongside a less obvious Chinese influence. Powerful non-state actors and terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah and ISIS continue to play a significant role and the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran further contributes to regional tensions. All these dynamics shape the complex picture that we are trying to analyze here today.
Our starting point today could be the following question: Why does Denmark need to be engaged? Why should Denmark risk getting entangled in such a complex and unsafe region?
[Reasons for Danish Engagement]
Well. Because we have to. I really don't think we have a choice. Firstly, Denmark has a desire to assist the countries of the region in their development and we want to show solidarity with the courageous people who fight for justice, dignity and freedom. Secondly, as former general, David Patraeus once said "The Middle East is not part of the world that plays by Las Vegas rules: What happens in the Middle East is not going to stay in the Middle East". In other words, our engagement is also a way of protecting our own security, welfare and values. As minister for foreign affairs, I strive to ensure our national security, enhance our national welfare and promote Danish values abroad. This is fundamentally, what our foreign policy is about.
A key aim of Danish foreign policy is to ensure Danish security. And the current situation in the region poses a direct threat. In Denmark, we have experienced first-hand how ISIS propaganda can motivate people to attack innocent civilians. At the same time, security challenges rising from unchecked migration have already taken too many lives on the Mediterranean Sea and elsewhere. These challenges often come from underlying demographic and socioeconomic developments, which underline the fact that our engagement in the region should tackle both the immediate security threats as well as the root causes.
Another central aspect of our foreign policy is the promotion of our values and norms to support the struggles for democracy and basic freedoms. Strengthening human rights, gender equality, freedom of speech and other essential values can help ensure that each individual is treated with dignity and contribute to social unity. This creates an alternative to radicalism, cross-border crime and illegal migration.
Lastly, Danish foreign policy aims to serve Danish welfare by securing trade and economic partnerships across the region. We have a direct interest in ensuring economic development in the region, where Danish business can engage freely and be agents of positive change. This also contributes to our own national welfare.
So the question is not if we should engage, but how. How does a small country like Denmark work to ensure these three priorities through our engagement in the MENA-region? We start with being realistic and acknowledging that we cannot be involved everywhere. We prioritize our interventions and we focus our policy. Let me highlight some of the tools we employ in our approach.
[Danish Engagement in the region]
Think of our foreign policy as a toolbox. Denmark's engagement in the MENA-region makes use of several tools at the same time, ranging from direct military contributions to engagement with civil society organizations. I will not give you a complete list of the tools we have, but I will highlight a few to set out the frame for our engagement.
In conclusion: Even if we have limited influence, I believe that Denmark is playing a positive role in the region and that our engagement is contributing to promoting values and policies that will benefit the people of the region. At the same time, we should not be blind to the fact that the region faces significant challenges. The conflict in Syria seems as unsolvable as ever. The regional competition between Iran and Saudi Arabia continues to undermine the stability in the region and the increased power of non-state actors poses serious challenges. The Middle East Peace Process remains a distinct and unresolved issue that influences the entire region.
Finally and perhaps most importantly, the power politics of the region keep changing. Even if we figure out how to best engage with the region today, this reality might have changed tomorrow. I hope our conference today will be able to improve our understanding not just of the current realities, but also of future realities.
I want to thank you all for coming, I hope you leave the conference both inspired and enlightened.
Thank you.

Amy Kleiner was leaving her house in a upbeat mood, ready to go for her final chemo treatment when she was given a big surprise by her neighbors. The Cincinnati native was blown away when she saw her neighbors lined up down the street, cheering her on for the final stretch of her cancer treatment. Upon seeing everyone, Amy could not wipe the smile off her face and she said "I have never been so blown away in all of my life."
The parade was thoughtfully organized by Tera Kiser, Amy's close neighbor and best friend who was eager to do something for the 45-year-old cancer patient after she had been so incredibly strong and sweet throughout the debilitating process. Amy's supportive husband Doug and her daughter were in on the surprise and helped Tera to put the plan into action.
They all wanted to make her final treatment sendoff something of a spectacle and something that Amy would get a kick out of. The plan was executed after Doug could not attend her final chemo as he had an important work commitment but felt guilty as he had attended every single one prior.
Amy recalled "My husband had taken me to every single one of them but he had a work function he couldn't miss so Amy offered to take me, she decorated her van to go to my last hoorah. She called me and said, 'I'm out in your driveway' and when I opened my garage door, that's what I found." Her Cincinnati neighbors had lined the street, holding posters with words of support and love together with releasing balloons and confetti.
Speaking about organizing the event, Kiser said,"She's so selfless and so sweet, I just wanted to make it a big deal for her, more than anything else, I wanted her to know, 'You've done it, this day is here and now we're going to put this part of our day behind us and move forward. Let's just go and get this last one treatment and get you feeling better.'"
She also went on to commend Amy and explain what an incredible soldier she had been throughout the process saying,"I've complained more with just a cold, any time someone you love gets diagnosed with something, but especially cancer, you feel so afraid for them. But you see the way she fought through it and said, 'No, I'm going to get through this and be ok,' I'm just blessed by her. That's the truth."
Her neighbors counted the amount of treatments she had and released a balloon to mark each one of them, releasing them as a way of saying they are now being her. Amy said of the wonderful people around her "I got to go hug every single one of them," she continued saying "I was just in shock. I was so surprised and I was so happy. It was the last one, and I just felt loved."

Corporate Social Media Strategy
Managing social within a business framework.
Managing social within a business framework.
Within the corporate environment, social media is quickly becoming the next required level of marketing within an organization. In fact, it's graduated from a novel addition to any PR campaign, to its own functional department. Gaining new and retaining old customers, sharing your products and services to a broader audience, and giving your customers a voice are just a few of the many benefits that using social media can bring to your business.
In the U.S. alone, more than two-thirds of all adults who are active online are using social media. Consider that fact, and then the fact that, amazingly enough, there are still 57 percent of businesses out there, for one reason or another, that don't understand the impact that social media can have on their business.
And once social media does become its own functional department in an organization, it's an element that cannot only function on its own, but support and operate within other core business units that are already established within any given organization. Whomever is tasked with leading social media efforts within an organization should work within the basic business framework already established:
The lifeblood of any company relies on two areas: marketing and PR. And their activities combined on a monthly basis keep any organization moving forward. Their mission is normally tied to content creation, delivery, and promotion. Social media is key here, as it's normally utilized as another marketing channel to accompany any campaign that marketing and PR promote. Social media could be used on a simple level by just pushing out messaging across social channels, such as Facebook and Twitter. Organizations that consider larger promotions might choose to do something around a custom Facebook tab with some sort of social engagement built in to the experience. This allows a brand to promote their content, invite viral sharing, and push content to current and new prospects within and outside the social media space.
It's always important to remember that your own customers are your best salespeople. And when considering retention, you not only want to keep your current customers wanting more, but also give them opportunities to share your content on and offline. Social media is the perfect ecosystem for educating users. And depending on your brand, this can happen in a variety of ways, using social channels such as a blog, Facebook, Twitter, or a YouTube channel.
Delivering content in a retention model should focus on engaging current users and exciting them about the brand. This offers them the opportunity to talk about your brand, and promote it within their social circles. One way you could package this type of content delivery could be through video. A number of brands have created Livestream channels that allow them to continuously educate, promote, and flash their brand to their user base by utilizing live video. Another tactic might be creating a secondary blog, outside of your corporate blog, that focuses on some aspect of your brand. Numerous organizations use the fast-growing social blogging platform, Tumblr. If you give the blog a personality and a different voice, you can use that to broadcast content to your users and gain brand loyalty points.
Customer Service
In today's landscape, customer service is more important than ever. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and various other social neighborhoods can level the playing field, enabling businesses of all sizes to interact directly with customers like never before. The voice of the consumer has never been more powerful, or influential. It has the potential to spread virally in an instant. Over 58 percent of consumers who have tweeted about a bad experience have never received a response from the offending company. This is a stat that organizations can avoid by supporting their social media efforts with customer support/member services.
The solution seems simple, but management of a channel once something like this is launched can be a time-consuming process. But once you do finalize management efforts within, the idea of social support starts with how you respond. It's important to ensure you're prepared to respond quickly and cordially. In some cases, you may need to "kill them with kindness" in an effort to offer an experience that exceeds their expectations. If a customer has a serious issue with no quick resolution, offer a specialized email address or phone contact in order to take the conversation offline. Solving these issues in real time through a company's social channel shows dedication and transparency to an organization's customers. Just consider this: the next time a customer tweets "Is there anyone out there?" you can proudly respond with "Yes, how can we help you?"
This should be the last reason to use social media within your organization. If you believe that you can use social media as a high-level conversion channel, you need to head back to the war room and rethink your strategy. Using social media as a pure acquisition channel is where you find its least value.
Social media typically captures people's attention outside of the buying cycle, so it's used more often for brand trust, recall, and engagement. Also, social media takes place on platforms that are not your own and within places where you have little control. It's far less a science within social media as compared to search, display, or other forms of direct marketing, where otherwise you have complete control over context and execution.
When it comes down to tracking and measuring the impact of social media on sales, it's still difficult to nail down 100 percent, as social media has a contributing role to play in consumer likelihood of purchasing from you, so there's less opportunity to determine acquisition metrics as well.
Although social media is strongest in areas of brand awareness, nurturing loyalty, increasing customer retention, and general brand recall, rather than powering acquisitions; there are still some tactics you can employ to better a result.
Social media can be integrated into acquisition programs where it's a stage-by-stage approach, to funnel people through a point of conversion. These conversions will find more success when focusing more on a product, rather than the brand as a whole. Some ways to do this might be through some tactics like opening up a shop tab on Facebook or distributing through other social channels where you can push individual products and your brand at the same time. Other tactics might include integrating a conversion form on your Facebook page, or integrating social media into direct email campaigns.

* Futures lower: Dow 33 pts, S&P 5.25 pts, Nasdaq 12.75 pts
By Sruthi Shankar
Aug 23 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures were lower on Wednesday as investors appeared to be in a risk-off mode a day after President Donald Trump said he will shutdown the U.S. government if necessary to build a wall along the border with Mexico.
* "If we have to close down our government, we're building that wall," Trump said at a rally in Phoenix, Arizona, in reference to his pledge to tighten immigration controls at the U.S.-Mexican border.
* Trump also said he might scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada. The three countries are aiming to complete modernizing the 23-year-old agreement by early 2018.
* Investors have grown increasingly concerned about Trump's ability to legislate his pro-growth agenda, especially those of tax cuts and infrastructure spending, given the near constant political rumblings in the White House.
* Trump's comments on Tuesday evening took the wind out of the sail of U.S. stocks, which had enjoyed their best one-day percentage gains in over a week as lawmakers' comments on tax reform and the debt ceiling boosted investor optimism.
* U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan, earlier on Tuesday, had indicated that tax reform would be easier to pass than the failed healthcare overhaul as Republicans had built a consensus.
* Investors are also jittery ahead of the annual gathering of global central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's Friday speech will be scrutinized for clues on the central bank's stand on monetary policy.
* Dallas Fed Chief Robert Kaplan is expected to speak at an event later in the day. Kaplan, part of the Fed's cautious camp, has said the central bank should be "very patient and judicious" as it considers whether to raise interest rates.
* Economic data due includes a report on new U.S. single-family monthly home sales, which are expected to have increased for a third straight month in July, but at a slower pace than in June. The data is expected at 10:00 a.m. ET (1400 GMT)
* Among stocks, Lowe's dropped 6.3 percent to $71.06 in premarket trading after reporting a lower-than-expected profit and slashing its margins forecast. Home Depot was off 0.77 percent.
* Salesforce was off 1.20 percent at $91.83 as its strong growth in quarterly revenue failed to satisfy some investors.
Futures snapshot at 7:00 a.m. ET:
* Dow e-minis were down 33 points, or 0.15 percent, with 22,725 contracts changing hands.
* S&P 500 e-minis were down 5.25 points, or 0.21 percent, with 137,759 contracts traded.
* Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 12.75 points, or 0.22 percent, on volume of 20,570 contracts. (Reporting by Sruthi Shankar in Bengaluru; Editing by Savio D'Souza)

New stretch target
Put quite simply… the more funding we receive the more exciting, dynamic and stimulating play spaces we can build - not only in the proposed Balderas site but in other condomiums throughout Addis Ababa and further afield!
A site for an adventure playground has been identified and with additional funds we could start the design and build process - working hand in hand with children, parents and the wider community to ensure that every child has the right to play in a safe, inspired and child-centred environment.
Help us create a movement - a movement based on play, fun and the formation of new creative and exciting partnerships.
Addis Ababa is rapidly expanding and urbanising. Roads, new buildings, car parks and concrete will take president and priority over a child's play space. Naturally a child would spend every moment of the day playing if they could - helping to improve social, physical and cognitive development and wellbeing.
But the reality for many urban children today is that play is increasingly becoming a luxury.
The Project
Out of The Box is a fresh and innovative project which aims to build adventure playgrounds and youth centres across Ethiopia.
Working in partnership with the local community. We have joined forces with Ethiopian architects, artists, resident associations and young people, Out of the Box works to facilitate the creation of imaginative and culturally sensitive child-centered play spaces in urban environments.
With £5000, we will build the first adventure playground in Ethiopia in a housing condominium in inner-city Addis Ababa.This first crowdfunded project is a crucial step in order to gain future long term funding from charitable grants, trusts and the private sector. The project will be the first of many, we hope to bring play to lives of children across Ethiopia and beyond!
Why is play important?
Play is a human right and is proven to be extremely important for enhancing the wellbeing, physical, emotional and cognitive development of children, whilst simultaneously providing a fun and nurturing environment that inspires children's exploration and self-discovery.
The creation of a playground provides children and young people with a direct stake, visual presence and enhanced modes of representation in their immediate community - essential for building actively engaged, respectful and educated citizens of the future.
Through interactive youth workshops and consultations with the Balderas community and Resident Association and architects from the Ethiopian Institute of Architecture (EiABC) the OTB team has designed an original, culturally relevant, dynamic space for children to play, socialise and learn. Built from locally sourced materials the playground will incorporate 5 essential elements of play: (Physical, Cognitive, Sensory, Social, Imaginative) and will strive to achieve a playground that is inclusive and accessible for children of all ages, genders and abilities.
Our mission is that every urban child should have the right to play!
The Location
Constructed in 2008 and located in North Western area of Addis, Balderas condominium is home to 1050 households and 6000 residents, a third of which are under 16 years old.
There is a distinct lack of safe spaces to play, affordable early-year's day care provision and formal activity based opportunities for children and young people in Balderas and throughout Ethiopia.
OTB has a long standing relationship with Balderas Resident Association and has conducted in-depth community consultations and workshops with children and their carers. They specifically identified the lack of play facilities as a key priority.
In April 2014 OTB facilitated a three day intensive playground design workshop with 30 students from the Addis Ababa Institute of Architecture, Building and Construction (EiABC). These orginial and creative designs form the basis of the playground we are hoping to build in 2015. Out of the Box will aim to build a children's youth centre and early years day care centre from two disused shipping containers.
The Rewards
No matter how much you can afford to pledge, we've got some excellent rewards that we will send you as a thank you! If you'd like to pledge without claiming a reward, click the blue 'pledge' button at the top of the column on the right.
Here are just a couple of examples...
If you donate £50 we will send you a beautiful handwoven scarf, bought directly from a market in Addis Ababa!
Ethiopia is the true home of coffee and Ethiopians take coffee drinking very seriously! For £100 we will send you a traditional 'jebena' to make coffee Ethiopian style!
Take a look on the list on the right-hand side to see all of the rewards available >>
We hope you can help us to make the project a reality by making a donation or helping us to spread the word.
Thank you & Amesege'nallo!

Miniature trees
Someone at work said that a Bonsai might be a good thing to fill up the new cubicle space that we have. I went to Home Depot, and they do have Bonsai trees. Unfortunately, the trees they sell are not that good. They look good on the first look, but they are actually half plastic, and dying. Plus the soil is covered by small gravel that is EPOXIED to the pot. Yuck
After Home Depot, I went to Chapters, read all of their Bonsai books (whole 7 of them) and then decided on the one with most beautiful pictures and pictures of making mini Bonsai. All the books have pretty much the same info.
It looks like I'll have to make bonsai by myself. I'm taking this as a challenge.

Three friends want audiences to experience their coming of age against a backdrop of music, poetry and slides in "The Circle Unbroken Is a Hard Bop."
"Circle" will be presented Thursday, Friday and Saturday by Real Art Ways at the Hutensky Theater in Hartford.
The piece, called "an epistolary praise poem with music," takes the form of letters exchanged over several years by an expatriate dancer and a musician and a poet who urge the dancer to return to the United States.
