Wake school board moves ahead on construction projects
Wake County school leaders moved forward Tuesday on a variety of fronts – acting on last week's passage of the $810 million school construction bond issue, beefing up school safety and expanding educational opportunities for high school students.
The school board kicked off the system's next construction program by purchasing land for an elementary school and approving an agreement for a long-proposed school in North Raleigh – all projects made possible by the passage of the bonds. At a board meeting Tuesday, school board members and administrators thanked the public for their vote.
"It really warms my heart to know that we're in a community where the majority of the people support making the investment in their public schools and in our students," school board member Susan Evans said.
The school bond issue provides most of the funding for a $939.9 million school construction program that will pay for 16 new schools, major renovations at six schools, smaller repairs at 79 schools, technology upgrades and other projects.
Funding from the bonds won't enter the system until the summer or fall of 2014. But in the meantime, the school system is using $43.8 million from bonds sold this year to jump-start projects.
One of the first items reactivated Tuesday was the purchase of land for new schools. Earlier this year, school administrators identified 36 new schools that they'd like to build in the next two construction programs.
Betty Parker, the director of real estate services, said it's getting harder to find usable sites. She said that administrators might need to consider options such as condemnation, building smaller schools and long-term leases to procure enough locations.
"We're going to be using some innovative approaches," Parker said. "It won't be as clear-cut in the past acquiring properties."
On Tuesday, the board agreed to buy land for an elementary school in Cary near the border of Durham County. But the board rejected an offer for a site for an elementary school in the northwest Cary/Morrisville area.
The board also approved agreements with Wake County and the city of Raleigh to lease for $10 a year – rather than pay for – the site of the new Abbotts Creek Elementary School, saving $675,000. Funding for the school, which will built next to the former North Wake Landfill in Raleigh, will come from the bond issue approved last week. It's scheduled to open in 2015.
Funding for counselors
The school board also gave the staff the thumbs-up to continue work on what could be a costly plan for improving safety.
School administrators backed several of the recommendations made by a task force that was formed following the December school massacre in Connecticut.
One big-ticket item backed by school staff is the hiring of more counselors, social workers and psychologists. It would cost an estimated $25 million a year to bring Wake up to recommended national school staffing ratios.
"We're looking at a phased plan because of the amount of money it would cost," said Marrius Pettiford, senior director of counseling and student services.
Another recommendation backed by staff is to conduct an independent audit to determine the minimum security requirements for every school. Russ Smith, senior director of security, said the costs of conducting the audit and carrying out its recommendations are uncertain.
Marvin Connelly, assistant superintendent for support services, said administrators will come back with more detailed financial costs for the recommendations. The board will decide later what to include in the budget proposal.
Partnering with St. Aug's
A pair of long-discussed high school efforts moved forward Tuesday.
The school board agreed to partner with St. Augustine's University to provide college courses for students at the district's two single-gender leadership academies.
Under the agreement, upperclassmen at the leadership academies will take college courses at St. Aug's campus near downtown Raleigh. Wake has been searching for a college partner for the academies since William Peace University broke off negotiations over providing on-campus courses in April 2012.
School officials also said that the academies will work with the N.C. Museum of Natural Sciences as part of a new STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) program that will be added to the leadership theme.
In a separate deal, the school board approved agreements with both Wake County and Wake Technical Community College to become partners in a new career and technical education high school.
Students will be able to take specialized courses – such as plumbing, automobile collision repair, refrigeration and cosmetology – designed to help them get jobs after graduation. Wake Tech will teach the technical courses at the school, for which the school system will lease the former Coca-Cola facility in South Raleigh that the county is renovating.

Strategic plan for capacity building 2009-2013
Capacity building is one of the main challenges facing the violence and injury prevention field today. Despite increased awareness, recognition and political commitment to violence and injury prevention capacity building needs have for so long been neglected that a comprehensive and sustained approach to capacity building is necessary.
WHO has consulted with a wide range of stakeholders in the course of formulating WHO's medium term strategic plan for capacity building in the area of violence and injury prevention. The strategic plan advances the rationale for increased emphasis and attention to capacity building in the field, and details what WHO expects to contribute over the coming years in the domains of human resources, institutional and infrastructural capacity development, and networks and partnerships.
WHO actively encourages those engaged in violence and injury prevention and those who can support this work to review this plan, and determine whether there are potential opportunities for collaboration, synergy, and support.

10 Tips For Managing Your Child's Diabetes
Managing your child's diabetes can be overwhelming, but Debbie Butler, L.I.C.S.W., C.D.E., Clinical Social Worker, Pediatrics and Behavioral and Mental Health in the Joslin Clinic, gives some tips on how to make it easier.
- Parents need to take an active role in diabetes management tasks, regardless of the age of the child.
- Work with a health care team that is knowledgeable about pediatric diabetes. "At Joslin, we are lucky to have a large multi-disciplinary team of doctors, nurse educators, nutritionists, mental health specialists, child life specialists and other allied health professionals," Butler says.
- See the health care team regularly – at least four times a year.
- Be honest with your health care team. Do not be afraid to tell them what is difficult for you and your child.
- Stay positive with your child. Tell him or her all of the things they are doing well, rather than focusing on what they need to work on.
- Be mindful of your facial expressions and what you say, especially when you see an out of range blood glucose. Stress to your child that there is no "bad" blood glucose, because you want him or her to be honest about their blood glucose levels.
- Find time to check in with your child about diabetes management.
- Make sure that you talk about non-diabetes issues as well, like you do with your other children. For example, when your children come home from school, ask them all about their day rather than just focusing on the blood glucose levels of the child with diabetes.
- Make sure your child does everything that he or she would have done if your child was not diagnosed with diabetes (ex. sports, sleepovers, parties, etc.).
- Prepare healthy foods for the entire family. A healthy mean plan for someone with diabetes is the same for someone without diabetes.

Facebook hired Richard Williamson, the former Apple manager in charge of its mapping apps who was fired last November, according to reports.
Williamson joined Facebook earlier this month as a manager within its mobile software group, according to Bloomberg News. The news comes from two unnamed sources familiar with the hiring.
Williamson, one of the original members of the iPhone team, was fired in a management reorganization after Apple Maps was derided for its inaccuracies and publicly apologized for by Apple chief Tim Cook. Google Maps was then offered as an alternative iOS app. Other former Applers have been hired at Facebook, including former iPhone manager Greg Novick, software designers Mike Matas and Kimon Tsinteris, along with other software engineers -- many of whom played a part in Facebook's recent Home.
Facebook declined to comment on the story.

By Nabil Al Mulhem
Syrian parliament speaker, Abdul Qader Qaddoura, will announce Thursday the preparations for a national referendum on the election of Bashar Assad to succeed his father, late president Hafez Assad.
The People's Assembly's press office said Qaddoura will explain the procedures of the referendum at a press conference. The referendum, due to be held in the first week of July, will be the last constitutional step needed to enable the younger Assad to hold the reigns of power in Syria.
On June 25th, the People's Assembly will meet to endorse Bashar's nomination for presidency by the ruling Baath party, which elected him on Tuesday as secretary general of its 21-member regional command.
The People's Assembly met on June 10th, the day Assad died, and amended an article in the constitution, bringing down the age of an eligible presidential candidate from 40 to 34. The change paved the way for Bashar to succeed his father as Syria's top man.
According to the Syrian constitution, a referendum should be conducted within 90 days after the death of the president – Albawaba.com

The Qinghai–Tibet railway, Qinghai–Xizang railway or Qingzang railway (Standard Tibetan: mtsho bod lcags lam མཚོ་བོད་ལྕགས་ལམ།; simplified Chinese: 青藏铁路; traditional Chinese: 青藏鐵路; pinyin: Qīngzàng Tiělù), is a high-elevation railway that connects Xining, Qinghai Province, to Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, in the People's Republic of China.
The length of the railway is 1,956 km (1,215 mi). Construction of the 815 km (506 mi) section between Xining and Golmud was completed by 1984. The 1,142 km (710 mi) section between Golmud and Lhasa was inaugurated on July 1, 2006, by Chinese President Hu Jintao: the first two passenger trains were "Qing 1" (Q1) from Xining to golmud, and "Zang 2" (J2) golmud to Lhasa.[1] This railway is the first to connect the Tibet Autonomous Region to any other province, which, due to its elevation and terrain, is the last province-level entity in mainland China to have a railway. Testing of the line and equipment started on 1 May 2006.[2] Passenger trains run from Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Xining, and Lanzhou.[3]
The line includes the Tanggula Pass, which, at 5,072 m (16,640 feet) above sea level, is the world's highest railway. Tanggula railway station at 5,068 m (16,627 feet) is the world's highest railway station. 1,338 m (4,390 ft) Fenghuoshan tunnel is the highest rail tunnel in the world at 4,905 m (16,093 ft) above sea level. The 4,010 m (13,160 ft) New Guanjiao Tunnel is the longest tunnel and the culminating point 3,700 metres (12,100 ft)[4] between Xining and Golmud and 3,345 m (10,974 ft). Yangbajing tunnel is the longest tunnel between Golmud and Lhasa. More than 960 km (600 mi), over 80% of the Golmud-Lhasa section, is at an elevation of more than 4,000 m (13,123 ft). There are 675 bridges, totalling 159.88 km (99.34 mi); about 550 km (340 mi) is laid on permafrost.
Within the Golmud to Lhasa section of the line there are 45 stations, 38 of which are unstaffed and monitored by the control center in Xining. Thirteen more stations are planned.[5]
The trains are specially built for high elevation environments. The diesel locomotives were built by GE in Pennsylvania, and the passenger carriages are Chinese-made 25T carriages: on train T27/T28, between Beijing West and Lhasa, Bombardier Sifang Transportation (BSP) made carriages on the Golmud-Lhasa section in deep green/yellow or deep red/yellow. Signs in the carriages are in Tibetan, Chinese, and English. The operational speed is 120 km/h (75 mph) and 100 km/h (62 mph) over sections laid on permafrost.
The railway from Golmud to Lhasa was completed on October 12, 2005, and it opened to regular trial service on July 1, 2006.[6]
At the beginning, only three trains ran: Beijing–Lhasa (every day), Chengdu/Chongqing–Lhasa (every other day), and Lanzhou/Xining–Lhasa. Shanghai/Guangzhou–Lhasa service were added in October 2006. In July 2010 the Shanghai–Lhasa service became daily, and a daily service between Xining and Lhasa was added, but the service was then suspended for the winter season.
Since October 2006, five pairs of passenger trains run between Golmud and Lhasa, and one more pair between Xining and Golmud. The line has a capacity of eight pairs of passenger trains.
The passenger carriages used on Lhasa trains are specially built and have an oxygen supply for each passenger. Every passenger train has a doctor.
A Passenger Health Registration Card is required to take the train between Golmud and Lhasa. The card can be obtained when purchasing the ticket. Passengers must read the health notice for high-elevation travel and sign the agreement on the card to take the train. On August 28, 2006, a 75-year-old Hong Kong man was reported to be the first passenger to die on the train, after he had suffered heart problems in Lhasa but insisted on travelling to Xining.[7]
A projected railway to Tibet was included in Dr Sun Yat-sen's proposal in 1917–1920 to build 100,000 km (60,000 miles) of track across the entire country.[8]
Since the formation of the Tibet Autonomous Region in early 1950s, the Chinese government pursued Dr Sun's aim of a railway to Tibet. Engineers were sent to investigate the possibility, but a lack of technology and a shortage of money prevented the project from starting.
The capital of the Qinghai Province, Xining, became connected with the rest of the country by rail in 1959, when the Lanqing Railway from Lanzhou was completed.[9]
The 815 km section of the future Qingzang Railway from Xining to Golmud, Qinghai opened to traffic in 1984. But the remaining 1,142 km (710 mi) section from Golmud to Lhasa could not be constructed until technical difficulties of building railroad tracks on permafrost were solved. This section was formally started on 29 June 2001, finished on 12 October 2005, and signalling work and track testing took another eight months. It was completed in five years at a cost of $3.68 billion.[10]
Track-laying in Tibet was launched from both directions, towards Tanggula Mountain and Lhasa, from Amdo Railway Station on June 22, 2004. On August 24, 2005, track was laid at the railway's highest point, the Tanggula Pass, 5,072 m (16,640 feet) above sea level.[11]
There are 44 stations, among them Tanggula Mountain railway station, at 5,068 m (16,627 ft) the world's highest. Peru's Ticlio railway station at 4,829 m (15,843 ft) is the highest in the Americas (Cóndor station; at 4,786 m or 15,702 ft, on the Rio Mulatos-Potosí line, Bolivia, and La Galera station at 4,777 m or 15,673 ft, in Peru, being the next highest). The Qingzang Railway project involved more than 20,000 workers and over 6,000 pieces of industrial equipment, and is considered one of China's major accomplishments of the 21st century.
Bombardier Transportation built 361 high-altitude passenger carriages with special enriched-oxygen and UV-protection systems, delivered between December 2005 and May 2006. Fifty-three are luxury sleeper carriages for tourist services.[12]
The construction of the railway was part of the China Western Development strategy, an attempt to develop the western provinces of China, which are much less developed than eastern China. The railway will be extended to Zhangmu via Shigatse (日喀则) to the west, and Dali via Nyingchi (林芝) to the east. A further extension is planned to link Shigatse with Yadong near the China-India border [13] (Map [14]). The railway is considered one of the greatest feats in modern Chinese history by the government, and as a result is often mentioned on regular TV programs. Chinese-Tibetan folk singer Han Hong has a song called Tianlu (Road to Heaven; 天路) praising the Qingzang Railway.
On August 17, 2008, a railway spokesman confirmed plans to add six more rail lines connecting to the Qinghai-Tibet railway, including from Lhasa to Nyingchi and from Lhasa to Shigatse, both in the Tibet Autonomous Region. Three lines will originate from Golmud in Qinghai province and run to Chengdu in Sichuan province, Dunhuang in Gansu province, and Korla of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The sixth will link Xining, the capital of Qinghai, with Zhangye in Gansu. The six lines are expected to be in operation before 2020.[15] Construction work of the Lhasa–Shigatse extension began on September 26, 2010;[16] it was opened in August 2014.[17]
In October 2012, the beginning of the construction of a 506-km Golmud-Dunhuang railway line was announced. This single-track electrified rail line will run from Dunhuang (in Gansu Province) to the Yinmaxia station on the Qinghai–Tibet Railway north of Golmud. The project is expected to take five years.[18] Since Dunhuang, located in the westernmost part of Gansu, is connected to the Lanxin Railway, the Golmud-Dunhuang link will allow a fairly direct connection between Tibet and Xinjiang.
In a meeting between Chinese and Nepalese officials on 25 April 2008, the Chinese delegation announced the intention to extend the Qingzang railway to Zhangmu (Nepali: Khasa) on the Nepalese border. Nepal had requested that the railway be extended to enable trade and tourism between the two nations. On the occasion of the Nepali premier's visit to China it was reported that construction will be completed by 2020.[19] The section Lhasa-Shigatse opened in August 2014.
A Chinese Ministry of Railways spokesman announced that it would be extending the Qinghai–Tibet Railway southward to Shigatse, but it has yet to confirm an extension to India, Bangladesh and other railway networks.[20] From time to time, rumors of such a land bridge appear in various newspapers.
The extension to the Shigatse region and Nyingchi has been confirmed by the relevant government departments in Tibet. The Qinghai–Tibet Railway will be connecting close to India. An official in charge of the Tibet Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission had pointed out: "Tibet Railway is completed, with Lhasa as the basis, will be built east of Lhasa to Nyingchi line from Lhasa to Shigatse west building line of the south building of the Qinghai-Tibet Shigatse to East Asia and other three Railway Line. These extensions will be opened to traffic within a decade. then, the three railway extension will form a large Y-shape, the length will be over two thousand kilometers".
Although the Chinese government never planned an extension to India, many people have embarked on the possibility of this. Qinghai People's Congress Vice Secretary General Liu Palit is one of them. In an interview, 21st Century Business Herald interview, he supported a motion to establish a connection between the Pacific and Indian railway bridge on land, possibly linking the east coast port city of Lianyungang, eastern China, Xi'an, Lanzhou, Xining, Lhasa, Shigatse, through Nepal, and finally arriving in Patna, India, New Delhi, Mumbai and Karachi (Pakistan), China and India and Pakistan to achieve rail transport.
Liu Palit thinks has stated regarding the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in South Asia continental bridge, "The past is not the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, which route is the only choice, now, starting from Tibet, a land bridge political more meaningful". If the idea of the railway arrived in Nepal's plains region of Nepal, it is very easily connected with the Indian railway network. Experts said that "if the railway opened in Nepal, but also enable the railway system in India and Bangladesh, Nepal and China through connectivity, all countries will benefit."[21]
There are many technical difficulties for such a railway. About half of the second section was built on barely permanent permafrost. In the summer, the uppermost layer thaws, and the ground becomes muddy. The heat from the trains passing above is able to melt the permafrost even with a small change in temperature. The main engineering challenge, aside from oxygen shortages, is the weakness of the permafrost. For areas of permafrost that are not very fragile, an embankment of large rocks is sufficient. Meanwhile in the most fragile areas, the rail bed must be elevated like a bridge. The engineers dealt with this problem in the areas of weakest permafrost by building elevated tracks with pile-driven foundations sunk deep into the ground.[22] Similar to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, portions of the track are also passively cooled with ammonia-based heat exchangers.
The integrity and strength of the railroad is not fully secure. Due to Climate change, temperatures in the Tibetan Plateau will increase by an estimated two to three degrees Celsius. This change is sufficient to melt the permafrost and thereby affect the integrity of the entire system. The effects of climate change have yet to be seen.
The air in Tibet is much thinner, with oxygen partial pressure being 35% to 40% below that at sea level. Special passenger carriages are used, and several oxygen factories were built along the railway. Each seat in the train is equipped with an oxygen supply outlet for any possible emergency. The Chinese government claimed that no construction workers died during the construction due to altitude sickness related diseases.[23] The railway passes the Kunlun Mountains, an earthquake zone. A magnitude 8.1 earthquake struck in 2001. Dozens of earthquake monitors have been installed along the railway.
With limited industrial capacity in Tibet, the Tibetan economy heavily relies on industrial products from more developed parts of China. Transport of goods in and out of Tibet was mostly through the Qingzang Highway connecting Tibet to the adjacent Qinghai province, which was built in the early 1950s. The length and terrain have limited the capacity of the highway, with less than 1 million tons of goods transported each year. With the construction of the Qingzang railway, the cost of transportation of both passengers and goods should be greatly reduced, allowing for an increase in volume—the cost per tonne-kilometer will be reduced from 0.38 RMB to 0.12 RMB. It is projected that by 2010, 2.8 million tons will be carried to and from Tibet, with over 75% carried by the railway.[24] This is expected to help support the Tibetan economy.
The environmental impact of the new railway is an ongoing concern. The increase in passenger traffic will result in greater tourism and economic activity on the Tibetan Plateau.
Wood is the main fuel source for rural inhabitants in certain regions of Tibet. The damage to the ecosystem caused by cutting trees for fuel takes years to recover due to slow growth caused by Tibet's harsh environmental conditions. The railway would make coal, which is not produced in Tibet, an affordable replacement. However, the increase in fuel combustion due to increased human activity in an already-thin atmosphere may affect the long term health of the local population.[25]
Before the railway, the purchasing power of 100 RMB in Lhasa was only commensurate with 54 RMB in coastal regions of China, mainly due to high transport costs. The railway could elevate the living standards along the railway. [26]
Trash and excrement are collected into two sealed containers in each car (not thrown on the tracks), they are taken out at the big stations.[27]
The effects of this railway on wild animals such as Tibetan antelope and plants are currently unknown. Thirty-three wildlife crossing railway bridges were constructed specifically to allow continued animal migration. Here is the Google Maps satellite image of one such bridge.
There are concerns from the China Meteorological Administration that melting, due to global warming, of the permafrost in Tibet on which part of the railway is placed could threaten the railway within this century.[28]
China has been criticized by Tibetan Independence groups for having built the railway to strengthen its political control over Tibet.[29]
In particular, groups such as the International Campaign for Tibet have alleged that the railway will marginalize Tibetans in the Tibet Autonomous Region by encouraging further Han migration from the rest of China.[30]

Lake House Design Tips
Learn how Leo and Kay Berard worked with architect Ken Pursley to create a naturally beautiful lake house.
Q: Designing and building a home from the ground up is a complex process…not for the weak. How did you get started?
Kay: Ken met us initially at our old cabin that we tore down to build this one. We talked for hours about what we liked about the old cabin and features we hoped to have in the new one. Taking advantage of the view from our point on the lake was a major priority. When we drove up, we wanted to be able to look straight through the house to the lake. We felt that the house should be only a part of the overall lake experience—not pop off the knoll like "ta-da!"
Q: The house appears as a series of simple barn forms, with the main structure connected to a group of outbuildings, including a master bedroom pavilion and a screened porch. Were you inspired by the Georgia countryside?
Ken: It was conceived as a rambling assemblage of barn forms. The intent was for the overall massing to be simple but broken down into smaller visual bites so as not to overwhelm the site. On the lake side, the design provides a panoramic view of the water from every room. The house is also one room deep, so each living space has great cross-ventilation and lots of light from multiple directions.
Kay: Our friends call it the "stealth house," because from the lake, you can see right through our home. Ken was so good at blending the structure with its surroundings that when he suggested painting the flagpole dark, I had to say, "No way!" From across the lake, that is the only part of our house you can see!
Q: The exteriors cue directly from the trees, with the sloping green roofs and darkly stained barn siding. What drove that decision?
Ken: I wanted to be considerate of the setting by having a house that capitalizes on the views and responds to its site quietly instead of being a "trophy on a knoll." Staining the house dark was key to having it visually retreat and blend with the landscape.
Kay: When Ken was here and we were discussing color, he pulled some bark and a leaf from a tree and said, "This is what I picture out here." It's hard to argue with Mother Nature.
Q: How did the natural setting influence the interior's design?
Ken: I like to bring elements from the outside in for durability and also because it helps you feel connected to the outdoors while enjoying the comforts of air-conditioning. Here, the home's fireplaces are made from the same local fieldstone used for many of the exterior garden walls, and the wood interior walls are stained a similar color to the siding.
Kay: I love that when you're inside, the dark walls seem to fall away and all you see are the bright green outdoors and the lake.
Q: How do you delineate space within an open floor plan?
Ken: The house has the kitchen, living, and dining areas all open to each other, but by using step-downs and ceiling vaults, I defined each space. I also used storage cabinets between spaces to filter the sight lines.
Q: So, is the screened porch the place to be?
Kay: Oh, we've had lots of memorable moments on the porch! We eat out there at least half the year. In the fall, we're out there watching football. We even had our son's wedding buffet there. It's a great place for the grandkids because I don't have to worry about fingerprints. But the best part is you don't feel confined in that room; you really feel like a part of nature. I just love to sit out there and read.
Ken: The screened porch was very important. It's their primary living and dining space for much of the year and is therefore scaled and furnished as a fully functioning room. I also love that this space appeals to all the senses. It's one thing to see the lake, but to feel the breeze, hear the laughter, and smell the pine trees—that is what I would call truly "living" in a room.

You can cancel your contract within two weeks without indication of reasons in text form (e.g. letter, fax, E-Mail) or by return of the commodity, unless you acted in practice of your commercial or self-employed activity (orders by entrepreneurs). The period begins at the earliest with receipt of the commodity and a detailed instruction in text form. For keeping the punctual period, sending of the revocation or the commodity is sufficient. The revocation has to be sent to:
C.R. Medien GmbH, Hans-Pinsel-Straße 3, 85540 Haar.
Revocation consequences
In case of an effective revocation on both sides received achievements have to be refunded and received benefits need to be returned if necessary (e.g. interest). If you cannot refund the received achievement to us totally or partly or only in worsened condition, you must carry out necessary indemnification to that extent according to value for us. This does not apply, if the degradation of the commodity is exclusively due to its examination, how it would have been possible for instance in a retail store. In all other respects you can avoid the indemnification according to value obligation, by not taking the goods in use like your property and omitting everything, which impairs their value. Things package-capable of being shipped are to be sent back on our risk. Things not package-capable of being shipped are being fetched from you. Obligations for refunding of payments you must fulfill within 30 days after sending off your declaration of revocation.
You have to bear the cost of the return, if the supplied commodity corresponds to the ordered and if the price of the good which can be sent back does not exceed an amount of 40 euro or if with a higher price of the good at the time of the revocation you have not paid yet the agreed full or partial payment of the good.
The right of revocation does not exist for :
* Goods, which are custom made for the client or are clearly cut to the personal needs or which are not suitable for a return due to their condition, fast to spoil or if their expiration date was expired or would be exceeded
* Audio- or Videorecordings or software, if the supplied data media were unsealed by you
* Newspapers, magazines and pictorials

Price Paid: $25?
I have tried a LOT of wicking/performance t-shirts -- TNF vaporwick, EMS techwick, REI products, merino wool items from Ibex -- but none have proven as good as the Doctor D (and its brothers, the Barnum (long sleeve) and the Mesquite? (same as Doctor D, but no contrasting panels). I have to ascribe to the weave of the polyester fabric -- a pique, which is a tight mesh like the old style Lacoste polo shirts. Every wicking shirt should use this weave -- works better, is more comfortable, and drapes better. Other than the failure to include some sort of anti-stink technology, it's a perfect shirt. Naturally, Marmot seems to be ending production...Buy it if you can.
Where to Buy
The Marmot Men's Doctor D Short Sleeve is not available from the stores we monitor. It was last seen November 5, 2013 at CampSaver.com.

Next in my quest to veganize Indian sweets, especially the ones I miss the most, is the gorgeous, almost healthy carrot halwa or gajar halwa.
The period roughly between August and November is festival season in India. Mind you, there are many many Hindu festivals scattered through the year, but some of the biggest ones happen during this period, including Ganesh Chaturthi, Dassera, and Diwali, the mother of all Hindu celebrations.
This is the time to cook and eat all sorts of delicious sweets, and each region has their own favorites for each festival. Growing up, my family always took care to match the sweets with the festival. Me, I cannot be bothered to remember, so I just cook whatever sweet I have a mind to if I feel like it, if I have the time, and if Desi lobbies me hard enough.
Last Friday, after reading about the wonderful Dassera celebrations on the Indian food blogs, I just had to make a sweet dish. I had a bag of carrots in the refrigerator, so carrot halwa it was.
Carrot halwa is a popular sweet in Indian kitchens, and it's easy to see why. The carrots are boiled in milk until they are melt-in-your-mouth tender and sweet, and then they are fried in ghee. Of course, all that milk and ghee adds a bazillion calories, but who cares when the end result is as mindblowing as it is?
Well, I do, and besides, I don't cook with milk nor ghee. For my vegan carrot halwa, I used almond milk which, at 40 calories a cup, has almost a third of the calories of whole milk and less than half those in skim milk. And trust me, you would never taste the difference. I adapted this recipe from Madhur Jaffrey's Indian Cooking, and it called for three cups of milk. So right there I lopped off nearly 200 calories.
Next I used 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to fry the halwa instead of the 5 tablespoons of ghee in the original recipe.
I used turbinado sugar, which gave the halwa a really rich red color, but you can always use regular sugar. Feel free to use less: the carrots themselves are very sweet and you really only need a little to your taste.
So here it is, my vegan carrot halwa. Easy, delicious and, heck, even good for you. Believe me, you won't feel a tug in your waistline after eating this, but you might feel a tad beatific.
Vegan Carrot Halwa
- 1 pound carrots , finely grated
- 3 cups almond milk
- 8 cardamom pods
- 3-5 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- A handful of cashews and raisins
- Put the carrots, cardamom pods and almond milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has evaporated. This took me about 45-50 minutes.
- In another saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. Add the carrots and fry, stirring, until the carrots turn a rich red. This will take around 15-20 minutes.
- Now add the sugar and stir until it's well mixed. Add the cashews and raisins and cook, stirring for a couple of minutes.
- Take off the heat. The halwa can be eaten warm or at room temperature or even cold. Any which way, it's quite delicious.
- Enjoy!
My carrot halwa goes to Sweet Vegan!, the event I'm hosting through Oct. 31
I also want to send this treat on to the lovely Pallavi of All Thingz Yummy for her Yummy Festival Feast: Diwali event.

Let $\theta \not\in \mathbb{Q}$. We know that $(n\theta)_{n \geq 1}$ is equidistributed modulo 1.
Let $\epsilon_n = \mathrm{sign}\bigl(\sin(n\pi \theta)\bigr)$ and $S_N= \sum_{n=1}^N \epsilon_n$.
I'm looking for a "good" asymptotic bound for $|S_N|$ (not $|S_N|\leq N$ obviously).
It looks like for any $x>0$, we should have $S_N =o(n^x)$, or even better, that $(S_N)$ is bounded, but is it?

The incentive that impels a man to act is always some uneasiness...
But to make a man act [he must have]
the expectation that purposeful behavior has the power to remove
or at least to alleviate the felt uneasiness.
Ludwig von Mises, Human Action
But I saw a man yesterday who knows a fellow who had it from a chappie
that said that Urquhart had been dipping himself a bit recklessly off the deep end.
Freddy Arbuthnot
Dorothy L. Sayers, Strong Poison
At first, we thought [the power of the West] was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system. But in the past twenty years, we have realized that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity.
David Aikman, Jesus in Beijing
[In the] higher Christian churches... they saunter through the liturgy like Mohawks along a string of scaffolding who have long since forgotten their danger. If God were to blast such a service to bits, the congregation would be, I believe, genuinely shocked. But in the low churches you expect it every minute.
Annie Dillard, Holy the Firm
Civil Societya complex welter of intermediate institutions, including businesses, voluntary associations, educational institutions, clubs, unions, media, charities, and churchesbuilds, in turn, on the family, the primary instrument by which people are socialized into their culture and given the skills that allow them to live in broader society and through which the values and knowledge of that society are transmitted across the generations.
Francis Fukuyama, Trust
In England there were always two sharply opposed middle classes, the academic middle class and the commercial middle class. In the nineteenth century, the academic middle class won the battle for power and status... Then came the triumph of Margaret Thatcher... The academics lost their power and prestige and... have been gloomy ever since.

Conservatism is the philosophy of society. Its ethic is fraternity and its characteristic is authority the non-coercive social persuasion which operates in a family or a community. It says we should....

What distinguishes true Conservatism from the rest, and from the Blair project, is the belief in more personal freedom and more market freedom, along with less state intervention... The true Third Way is the Holy Grail of Tory politics today - compassion and community without compulsion.

When we received Christ, Phil added, all of a sudden we now had a rule book to go by, and when we had problems the preacher was right there to give us the answers.
James M. Ault, Jr., Spirit and Flesh
I mean three systems in one: a predominantly market economy; a polity respectful of the rights of the individual to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; and a system of cultural institutions moved by ideals of liberty and justice for all.
In short, three dynamic and converging systems functioning as one: a democratic polity, an economy based on markets and incentives, and a moral-cultural system which is plural and, in the largest sense, liberal.
Michael Novak, The Spirit of Democratic Capitalism
There was nothing new about the Frankish drive to the east... [let] us recall that the continuance of their rule depended upon regular, successful, predatory warfare.

E. G. West, Education and the State
When we began first to preach these things, the people appeared as awakened from the sleep of agesthey seemed to see for the first time that they were responsible beings, and that a refusal to use the means appointed was a damning sin.
Finke, Stark, The Churching of America, 1776-1990
As far as the Catholic Church is concerned, the principal focus of her interventions in the public arena is the protection and promotion of the dignity of the person, and she is thereby consciously drawing particular attention to principles which are not negotiable...
[1.] protection of life in all its stages, from the first moment of conception until natural death; [2.] recognition and promotion of the natural structure of the family... [3.] the protection of the right of parents to educate their children.
Pope Benedict XVI, Speech to European Peoples Party, 2006

These emerge out of long-standing moral notions of freedom, benevolence, and the affirmation of ordinary life... I have been sketching a schematic map... [of] the moral sources [of these notions]... the original theistic grounding for these standards... a naturalism of disengaged reason, which in our day takes scientistic forms, and a third family of views which finds its sources in Romantic expressivism, or in one of the modernist successor visions.

In 1911... at least nine million of the 12 million covered by national insurance were already members of voluntary sick pay schemes. A similar proportion were also eligible for medical care.
Green, Reinventing Civil Society
No lesson seems to be so deeply inculcated by the experience of life as that you should never trust experts. If you believe doctors, nothing is wholesome: if you believe the theologians, nothing is innocent: if you believe the soldiers, nothing is safe. They all require their strong wine diluted by a very large admixture of insipid common sense.
Lord Salisbury, Letter to Lord Lytton
Within Pentecostalism the injurious hierarchies of the wider world are abrogated and replaced by a single hierarchy of faith, grace, and the empowerments of the spirit... where groups gather on rafts to take them through the turbulence of the great journey from extensive rural networks to the mega-city and the nuclear family...

Paul Dirac: When I was talking with Lemaître about [the expanding universe] and feeling stimulated

suggested psychology as lying closest to religion.

[Every] sacrifice is an act of impurity that pays for a prior act of greater impurity... without its participants having to suffer the full consequences incurred by its predecessor. The punishment is commuted in a process that strangely combines and finesses the deep contradiction between justice and mercy.
Frederick Turner, Beauty: The Value of Values
Imagining that all order is the result of design, socialists
conclude that order must be improvable by better design of some superior mind.
F.A. Hayek, The Fatal Conceit
For [the left] there is only the state and the individual, nothing in between. No family to rely on, no friend to depend on, no community to call on. No neighbourhood to grow in, no faith to share in, no charities to work in. No-one but the Minister, nowhere but Whitehall, no such thing as society - just them, and their laws, and their rules, and their arrogance.
David Cameron, Conference Speech 2008

Families helped each other putting up homes and barns. Together, they built churches, schools, and common civic buildings. They collaborated to build roads and bridges. They took pride in being free persons, independent, and self-reliant; but the texture of their lives was cooperative and fraternal.

Work to restore the Road to the Middle Class. Heres how. Ground it in faith. Grade it with education. Protect it with mutual aid. Defend it with the law. more>>
The Road to the Middle Class is a journey from a world of power to a world of trust and love. In religion, it is a journey from power gods that respond to sacrifice and augury to the God who makes a covenant with mankind. In education, it is a journey from the world of the spoken word to the world of the written word. In community, it is the journey from dependence on blood kin and upon clientage under a great lord to the mutual aid and the rules of the self-governing fraternal association. In law it is the journey from the violence of force and feud to the king's peace, the law of contract, and private property.

The Juliana Theory's Photo
The Juliana Theory Biography
The five guys who have chosen the somewhat mysterious moniker of the Juliana Theory to represent their band have successfully transformed themselves from punk and hardcore kids restricted by the constraints of the emo genre into genuine, credible musicians. Their songs display dynamics, sk**, and attention to melodious detail that defies their youthful, upbeat, and often lyrical optimistic personas. br /br /The Juliana Theory formed in western Pennsylvania in 1997 around vocalist Brett Detar, ba**ist Chad Alan, guitarist Josh Fiedler, and two other friends. It was primarily a side project for Detar at first due to his commitment as guitarist and major songwriter for metalcore band Zao. Eventually, Detar's poppy side won over, and he decided to commit to the Juliana Theory full-time, amicably exiting Zao. br /br /A split EP with the band Dawson High on Arise Records marked the band's recorded debut. Their live shows were electric, filled with smiling tongue-in-cheek, bubblegum pop moves -- including the guitarists' penchant for tossing their picks in the air and catching them. Drummer Neil Hebrank and guitarist Josh Kosker were also aboard as the Juliana Theory signed a multi-album deal with Seattle-based Tooth & Nail. Their debut full-length, Understand This Is a Dream, was released on March 23, 1999. It was full of dreamy, whimsical pop songs, but also hinted at a greater depth that would later be more fully explored. br /br /But first, ma**ive touring in the album's support was on the plate, with the Juliana Theory sharing stages with many bands and performing at several national festivals. The band reentered the studio in 2000, first unleashing a three-way split CD with Onelinedrawing and the Gray AM through Onedaysaviour, and next producing the accomplished, heavily polished, and dynamic Emotion Is Dead album. The Juliana Theory's sophomore opus explored darker depths than their previous outings had touched upon, conjuring emotive power ballads and soaring rock scorchers through textured layering and incredible harmonies. br /br /Detar began playing third guitar more and more in the live setting as the band's fan base increased dramatically. Growing increasingly weary of the emo tag and fed up with their bubblegum emo image and sound, the Juliana Theory began growing longer hair and writing substantially more focused compositions. Virtually every major label under the sun became interested in the group and in 2001, the Juliana Theory signed a recording contract with Epic/Sony. A few dates on the 2001 Warped Tour followed. On October 23 of the same year, the Juliana Theory released six new songs as the Music from Another Room EP on Tooth & Nail. The songs charted new territory for the quintet, evoking the epic dynamics of late-'70s prog rockers like Rush, Yes, and Genesis. A round of performing with the similarly minded Movielife and Detar's old mates in Zao followed. br /br /The following full-length album, Love, continued this move away from genre conventions. It showed the band jumping into a more mainstream approach without sacrificing its intensity or experimental flourishes. It was also released on Epic, making it the official first major-label release from the band. Epic didn't work out for the Juliana Theory, however, and the band issued a live album through Tooth & Nail before signing with indie imprint Abacus for September 2005's Deadbeat Sweetheartbeat. A best-of collection from their years on Tooth and Nail, A Small Noise, appeared in February 2006. That same month, the group formally announced their decision to break-up. ~ Ryan J.

Both Microsoft IIS and SQL Server are often large parts of Windows-based distributed application environments. That means they are also often targets for attacks. In this tutorial, we offer some specific recommendations for locking down those products.
IIS Specific Security Recommendations
There is a programming "hook" in IIS known as ISAPI that associates files having certain extensions with DLLs. These are known as ISAPI extensions (define) .
ISAPI extensions handle functions such as Active Server Pages, .NET Web services and Web-based printer sharing. However, many of these extensions aren't required, particularly if you're still using IIS 5.0 or earlier. The problem is that many of those extensions (filters) are exploitable. The notorious Code Red is an example of just one malicious program that takes advantage of these extensions. Enable only the ISAPI extensions the Web server and application need, and restrict the HTTP options that can be used with each extension. (Server Properties, WWW Service, Edit, Home Directory tab, Configuration)
(Click for a larger image)
Any Web server installation that is not kept patched and up to date is a prime target for malicious activity. Regular and timely patching of publicly accessible Web servers is crucial.
Web add-ons such as ColdFusion and PHP can introduce vulnerabilities in a web server installation too. Carefully configure these and check the source Web sites and latest security bulletins for any needed patches or new exploits in these add-ons.
IIS Security Checklist
- Apply the latest operating system service packs and security updates for IIS and any applications loaded on the same host. Consider using Automatic Updates to automatically install patches.
- Install host-based anti-virus and intrusion detection software. Keep them current on patches and review the log files frequently.
- Use logging and review the logs frequently, preferably through an automated process that summarizes the events and reports exceptions and suspicious events.
- Remove or restrict system tools commonly used by attackers to compromise a system. For example; tftp(.exe), ftp(.exe), cmd.exe, bash, net.exe, remote.exe, and telnet(.exe).
- Limit the services running on the web server to the HTTP service and its supporting services.
- Be aware of and minimize any type of connection into the inner network that enter through public web server(s). Disable File and Printer Sharing and NETBIOS name resolution on Internet-facing systems.
- Use a separate DNS server in a DMZ to service Internet-facing Web servers. Direct any unresolvable queries outside the DMZ to other public DNS servers or those of your service provider - never to your internal DNS servers.
- Use different account naming conventions and unique passwords on public facing systems than on internal systems. Internet-facing IIS servers should be in a DMZ behind a firewall, with a second firewall between the DMZ and the internal network. Internet-facing IIS servers should not be part of an internal Active Directory (AD) domain or use accounts that are part of an internal AD domain.
- Block all TCP ports to the DMZ except 80 or 443, if needed.
- Install the operating system on one drive and Web sites on a different drive to help thwart directory traversal attacks.
- If you must use RDP (Terminal Services, Remote Desktop Protocol) to administer the server, change the default port of 3389 to something else hackers won't be looking for. (See Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 187623 for details)

What are Beyaz® and YAZ® prescribed for?
For women who choose the Pill for birth control, Beyaz and YAZ are approved to:
Beyaz is also approved for women who choose the Pill for birth control to:
Who should not take Beyaz or YAZ?
Do not use Beyaz or YAZ if you smoke and are over age 35. Smoking increases your risk of serious side effects from the Pill, which can be life-threatening, including blood clots, stroke or heart attack. This risk increases with age and number of cigarettes smoked.
Do not use Beyaz or YAZ if you have kidney, liver, or adrenal disease because this could cause serious heart and health problems, or if you have or have had blood clots, certain cancers, history of heart attack or stroke, or if you are or may be pregnant.
What are the most serious risks of taking Beyaz or YAZ?
Beyaz and YAZ increase the risk of serious conditions including blood clots, stroke, and heart attack. These can be life-threatening or lead to permanent disability. The risk of blood clots is highest during the first year of use. This increased risk is highest when you first start taking birth control pills and when you restart the same or different birth control pills after not using them for a month or more. Users of drospirenone-containing pills (like Beyaz and YAZ) may have a higher risk of blood clots than users of birth control pills that do not contain drospirenone. Talk to your healthcare provider about your risk of blood clots before deciding which Pill is right for you.
In addition, drospirenone is a different kind of hormone that for some may increase potassium too much. Consult your healthcare provider if you are on daily long-term treatment for a chronic condition with medications that may also increase potassium (see below), as you should have a blood test to check your potassium level during the first month of taking Beyaz or YAZ.

Oct 24 (Reuters) - Donald Trump offered to pay $5 million to the charity of President Barack Obama's choice if Obama releases his college and passport records, the real estate mogul and television personality said on Wednesday.
"Frankly, it's a check that I very much want to write," Trump said in a YouTube video released via his Twitter and Facebook pages.
Trump has questioned whether Obama's birth certificate issued by the state of Hawaii is legitimate, suggesting Obama was not born in the United States, which could have made him ineligible for the White House. The White House released the long-form copy of Obama's birth certificate in 2011.
Trump did not say what he expected the college and passports records to reveal but was specific in saying he wanted to see all of Obama's college applications and records and his passport applications and records.
"President Obama is the least transparent president in the history of this country," Trump said in the video.
"If he releases these records it will end the question and indeed the anger of many Americans."
Trump, who had toyed with the idea of running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, said the deadline for the release of the documents was 5 p.m. (2100 GMT) on Oct. 31.

The newest sets of US Topo maps cover the states of Texas and New York. The 4,309 quadrangles for Texas and 972 quads covering New York replace the existing US Topo maps for those states, and will be added to the USGS Historical Topographic Map Collection. All of these maps are available for free download from The National Map and the USGS Map Store website.
Last September the USGS marked the important milestone of completing the initial round of US Topo map production for the 48 contiguous states. The agency is continuing to improve the US Topo map product, moving into the next round of national map revisions. Hawaii is currently in production and Alaska production will start later this year.
"The US Topo program is a dynamic product and the new maps over Texas and New York demonstrate our commitment to a very aggressive three year revision cycle while at the same time adding new content", said Mike Cooley, the US Topo Project Manager. "I encourage you to take a look at these maps and drop us a comment on how we are doing via our drop box, as your input is important to us."
New feature additions and improvements on the updated US Topo maps include:
US Topos are derived from key layers of geographic data found in The National Map, which delivers visible content such as high resolution aerial photography, which was not available on older paper-based topographic maps. The new US Topo maps provide modern technical advantages that support wider and faster public distribution and on-screen geographic analysis tools for users.
Future enhancements to the US Topo are scheduled to include additional tools and map content such as a shaded relief layer, updated structures, enhanced transportation, additional federal boundaries and Forest Service trails. Wyoming, which was added in the fall of 2012, also featured Public Land Survey System (PLSS). The USGS expects to produce more than 18,500 revised quadrangles annually. US Topo maps are updated every three years.
The new digital electronic topographic maps are delivered in GeoPDF image software format and may be viewed using Adobe Reader, available as a no cost download.

20-Minute Moo Shu Pork (or Chicken)
Daylight Savings has finally arrived! And I could not think of a better reason to lose an hour of sleep and wake up a little groggy. Because I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people who feels like the extra hour of daylight in the evening is freaking life-changing.
I mean, sure, I'm all for some extra sun shining through my window in the mornings to help get me out of bed in the winter. But if given the choice between sun in the morning, and glorious, warm, bright, makes-you-feel-like-there's-actually-more-of-the-day-left in the evenings after work, I will choose DST any day in a heartbeat. (In fact, yes, I'm totally one of "those people" who wishes Congress would let us keep saving daylight year-round….) But in the meantime, I'm fully appreciating every second of these sunshiny evenings that celebrate the beginning of this warm season to come.
And one of my favorite things to do when it's light out in the evenings? You'd better believe it — cook! It nearly felt like summer here last night, so I decided to whip up a quick batch of my new favorite "better than takeout" recipes that I'm recently obsessed with making — moo shu! (Or moo shoo, mu shoo, it seems that the spelling options are endless.) It has been one of my long-time favorite dishes to order when I'm doing Chinese takeout. And after studying the ingredients, I recently decided it was worth a try to make at home.
Turns out, Moo Shu Pork (or Chicken!) is super quick and easy to make, it's chocked full of fresh and vibrant ingredients, and it's full of those bold sweet and savory flavors we all love. But best of all, it can be ready to go in 20 minutes, so you can get on with your evening out in the warm spring sunshine. ;)
Let's make some!
20-Minute Moo Shu Pork Recipe | 1-Minute Video
So, I was a little too excited about a few shortcuts I discovered to making Moo Shu extra-speedy at home:
- Instead of taking the time to chop up a green and purple cabbage and some carrots — you guessed it — just buy a bag of your favorite cole slaw! (Organic, if you can.) I found one with green and purple cabbage, but either or both colors will do. I really loved the pop of the purple against the other colors.
- Instead of chopping up a bunch of mushrooms (and traditional moo shu uses shiitake and wood-ear/black mushrooms), I just went for the prepared package of thinly-sliced shiitake mushrooms. If you can't find them pre-sliced, you can obviously slice them yourself. And if you can't find shiitakes, white button or baby-bella mushrooms will also work.
- Instead of taking the time to make those homemade flour Mandarin pancakes — which I love at Chinese restaurants — I took the easy route and just used some Mexican flour tortillas. Not quite the same, but still delicious and ultra-easy.
Other than that, the basic stir-fry instructions are pretty simple!
Just whip up a simple marinade, and toss half of it with your thinly-sliced pork or chicken, setting aside the second half of the marinade to be used in cooking.
Then while the meat marinates, cook your eggs. And then saute the meat (discarding its marinade). And then saute the veggies. And then toss the reserved marinade in the pan and saute everything all together until it's cooked and evenly-coated in the sauce.
Then, this rainbow of deliciousness if going to be yours to enjoy.
Serve it up in some flour tortillas, or lettuce cups, or over a bed of rice, or whatever sounds good. Then drizzle with a little extra hoisin if you'd like. And voila — a delicious batch of homemade Moo Shu is ready for dinner!
Totally easy. Totally colorful. Totally packed with veggies and protein. And totally delicious.
Enjoy! And happy DST to all of you!
20-Minute Moo Shu Pork (or Chicken)
This 20-Minute Moo Shu Pork (or Moo Shu Chicken!) recipe is quick and easy to make, full of fresh and delicious flavors, and it tastes just as good as the restaurant version!
Marinade Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- freshly-cracked black pepper
Moo Shu Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless pork chops (or boneless skinless chicken breasts), sliced into very thin strips
- marinade (see below)
- 3 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 1 (14-ounce) bag coleslaw
- 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and thinly-sliced
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
- for serving: flour tortillas, lettuce cups, rice or quinoa
- optional toppings: extra hoisin, extra soy sauce, extra thinly-sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds
To Make The Marinade:
- Whisk all ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl until combined. Separate the marinade into two portions — one to marinate the meat, and one to serve as the cooking sauce.
To Make The Moo Shu Pork:
- Add the thinly-sliced pork (or chicken) to half of the marinade, and toss until the meat is evenly coated in the marinade. Set aside for 5 minutes.
- While the meat is marinating, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium heat. Add the whisked eggs, and let them sit and until they are cooked and form a large omelet. Transfer the eggs to a separate cutting board, and set aside. When you have a chance (while the pork is cooking), chop the omelet into small, thin pieces.
- Return the pan to the stove, and increase heat to high heat. Add 1 more tablespoon of oil, and then use a pair of tongs (or a fork) to lift the meat out of the marinade and transfer it to the pan, discarding the marinade. Saute the pork, breaking it up and stirring it with your tongs occasionally, until it is cooked and tender, about 3-4 minutes. Then transfer the pork to a separate plate, and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the pan, along with the cole slaw, mushrooms, and half of the scallions. Saute for 2-3 minutes, or until the cabbage begins to wilt and softens.
- Add in the reserved marinade for the sauce, and toss to combine. Cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the cooked pork and chopped eggs, and toss until combined. Taste, and season with extra salt and pepper (and/or hoisin or soy sauce) as needed. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions.
- Serve immediately with flour tortillas (or lettuce cups, rice, or quinoa), and garnish with optional toppings if desired.
I just drizzled some extra (warmed) hoisin on top of the skillet before serving, and also drizzled a little extra on the tacos because I'm obsessed with hoisin. But feel free to just use as little or more as you'd like.

This is indeed a rainbow of deliciousness! I must finally get the hoisin and oyster sauces so I can make these!
What a great recipe! Moo Shu is one of my all-time favorites. I had never had it until my husband, who had worked as a bus boy in high school, introduced me to it when we first began dating – 23 years ago! This tastes so close to that. Thank you! (BTW, I just now found your blog after reading the engagement story of musicians' Victor & Penny. So glad I found you!)
This looks amazing!! looking forward to trying – great flavors:)
Trying out your recipe tonight with high hopes!
Hi Ali, made this tonight with broccoli that I grated in the food processor. Awesome as always!
There is one thing I'm confused about. How much rice vinegar is this calling for? I've never seen anyone refer to 1/4 Tablespoons so it looks like a mistake. Could it be a quarter Tbs really? Or is it really 1/4 cup? Or is it really from 1 to 4 Tablespoons? Since there are 2-1/2 tsp in one Tablespoon, 1/4 Tbs would be 5/8 tsp, but most cooks would just say 5/8 tsp, even though that seems ridiculously exact. I'm going to make it by taste, since I'm not expecting yo will reply tonight.
I have nothing in the house right now and I would so love to sink my teeth into these!!! They look so delicious!
Thank you for this recipe! Had fresh red & white cabbage on hand so I sliced and diced myself! Made homemade MooShu pancakes and it was wonderful!
Oh thank you thank you! Moo shoo pork has always been the dish my mom and I would share from our favorite local Chinese restaurant. My mom passed away three years ago this month and the restaurant closed its doors. Since then it's been impossible to find a replacement for Yen Chings Moo Shoo. This recipe hit the spot tonight! I threw in some local farmers tatsoi, brussel sprouts in lieu of cabbage. Sharing this dish with my girls tonight tied my past to my present. No photo though, somehow it went from the sizzling skillet to empty sauce-smeared plates in no time!
This recipe is AMAZING! I live in a small town with not many restaurant options. There used to be a Chinese restaurant here that made the best moo shu pork. It closed many years ago and I haven't had it since. This taste EXACTLY like it! It is so so good! Thank you!
WoE! that's ? yummy
I like to make this with leftover ham which gives it a bit of that smokey flavor and it's totally a shortcut- no pork to marinade.
Honestly this was as good if not better then any I've had at restaurants!! Followed the recipe exact except for extra Hoison Sauce. Wasn't sure about the flour tortilla but it was excellent!! Will make many more times!! Thank You:)
Thanks! my mom used to make this as a kid, from scratch. I never made it due to the work involved. So much easier. I use that asian mushroom, fungus, whatever it is, called in Mandarin, "Mo'or" that my mom used, and more egg. But it was on point good, thanks!
Can't wait to try this one bc other than the veggies (which I can easily pick up tomr) I have all this stuff on hand pretty much every day. Always have fresh ginger in the freezer –great trick if you've never tried it — can't wait to whip this puppy up!!
Also, I accidentally put some hoisin sauce in the eggs. Was able to scoop most of it out, so I decided to add an extra egg. It tasted totally fine but im going to be more careful next time
Made this tonight with chicken. I used Braggs for the soy sauce and was forced to use canned mushrooms when I discovered mold on my fresh mushrooms. Turns out the mushrooms tasted fine (probably due to the marinade flavors). Hubs actually went back for seconds. Winner!
The flavor was amazing. I followed tolhe receipe to a T! Whatever went wrong was on my lack of skill. My only problem is mine came out with a lot of…broth? So it was kind of soupy. Ill probably drain off the liquid that cooked off the pork next time.and get a better slaw mix. Mine was more chopped instead of strings. Who knows. It was still delicious!
Oh, one more thing – some of us used lettuce wraps instead of tortillas, and also was good!
So yummy! I'm curious. When I went shopping I grabbed Moo Shu Hoisin sauce. Any idea how it differs from regular hoisin? Is one better than the other to use?
Just made this on the fly, had leftover cabbage and carrots so I used fresh instead of preshrededded coleslaw mix. Really easy, quick and delicious. I would like to have the nutritional info at the end of the recipe however, as it appears to have a lot of sugar, due to the hoisin and oyster sauces. My husband loved it and it's so easy to prepare, he can make it next time!
I love this recipe. It is my go to for Mu Shoo. To really make this quickly I use ground chicken as the meat.

BAC recombineering problem - BAC clones positive for double selection but negative for PCR, why? (Dec/02/2010 )
I have been trying to use the BAC recombineering strategy to insert a special cassette (for tracking in human embryonic stem cells) into the target region of the gene of interest by homology (70bp by PCR or 500bp by cloning). However, after trying for several months by various approaches, I always seem to get colonies after the targeting that are positive for cassette selection (kan resistance)and BAC selection (chloramphenicol resistance) suggesting successful targeting but when I do a PCR with primers flanking the cassette, I always get predominantly a smaller band indicative of no cassette insertion and maybe a faint band with a size suggesting incorporation of cassette. I somehow cannot get a pure colony with just the recombined vector. I tried retransforming, linearizing-ligating-retransforming but always get the same pattern after PCR. There is no significant homology of cassette to the bacterial genome (the cassette has a Neo part which has not been modified) to rule out recombination with bacterial genome. Has anyone come across this kind of problem before and do you have any suggestions how to solve this problem please? I am desperate now!
I am using the SW106 recombinogenic strain and follow the protocol of recombination (from NCI-frederick)to the word!
Thanks a lot
hey there! I know this is kind of a late reply. I am hoping by now you would have found your solution! Because I am facing the same problem. What I am doing is recombineering a Kanamycin resistance cassette with 60bp homology into pBeloBAC11 plasmid. And I almost always get colonies growing on LB + chloramphenicol + kanamycin. But whenever I do PCR screening, the non-recombinant band (shorter band signifying no insertion) is always stronger than the faint recombinant band. I tried altering the PCR conditions such as using significantly less primers and increasing the annealing temperature, which successfully increase the intensity of the long recombinant band. However, the non-recombinant band is equally strong as well.

CBS sportscaster JIm Nantz will spend the first four months of each year working for his ex-wife and their daughter under a divorce settlement.
Nantz, 50, the smooth football and golf commentator who left his wife of 26 years for a woman he met on a book tour, must pay $915,000 of his annual $3.2 million salary to his ex. She also got their Westport, Conn., mansion and a nearby condo.
Bridgeport Superior Court Judge Howard Owens found neither Jim nor Lorrie Nantz at fault.Nantz has acknowledged the ongoing romance, saying it ignited last year when his marriage was long "dead." The New York Post reported in December that Nantz has proposed to the woman, identified as 31-year-old Courtney Richards.
The alimony lasts until either his death or her remarriage, while the child support covers the next two years. Nantz, 50, earns $3.2 million a year from CBS, court documents indicated. Nantz will not appeal the decision.

PRETORIA, South Africa, July 4 (UPI) -- Oscar Pistorius of South Africa, who runs on two artificial legs, will represent his country at this summer's London Olympics.
Pistorius will be the first athlete to compete in both the Summer Olympics and Paralympics, Sports Net reported. He was selected as a member of the 4X400 relay team and a competitor in the 400 meters.
"Today is truly one of the proudest days of my life," Pistorius said in a statement. "To have been selected to represent Team South Africa at the London 2012 Olympic Games in the individual 400 meters and the 4x400-meter relay is a real honor and I am so pleased that years of hard work, determination and sacrifice have all come together."
Pistorius, 25, was born with a congenital condition that left him without the fibula or calf bone in both legs. His legs were amputated in childhood.
A sports star since his school days, Pistorius has been dogged by arguments that his prosthetics actually give him an unfair advantage over other athletes.
