By the mid 26th century humanity has conquered the universe and colonized countless planets. Yet life in space requires a great deal of adaptation. Bred for just these conditions, the cybernetically adapted Tyi and the biogenetically optimized Geniden have outgrown their creators to become the new ruling races. Their uncompromising battle for total mastery of space leads humanity into the sphere of influence of an ancient alien life form – a life form which tolerates no other cosmic civilizations but its own. In this battle against an overpowering enemy, players must first choose which of the two rival factions they wish to join as they try to save humanity.
Starting in the fall of 2008 the fascinating science-fiction universe from "Black Prophecy" will present players a complex online universe featuring cinema-quality space battles. A universe in which they fly their spacecraft alone, as a clan member or as part of a fleet as they fight political battles and prove themselves in the fight against extinction at the hands of the aliens. The search for their home world and the answer to their dark secret soon becomes a race to save all the races of mankind.

Respite Care
Respite care communities offer temporary or short-term care solutions.
This service is intended to give caregivers or adult children a well-deserved break from their daily responsibilities of caring for an older adult.
The length of a respite care stay can vary from 2 days to more than a full month.
Respite Care Is For You If …
As a caregiver, you need some time for yourself. Caring for a loved one is hard work, and there's nothing wrong with admitting that you need a day off every now and then.
Respite care centers can offer you relaxation and peace of mind, while you let a professional take over for a few days or even a month.
Respite Care Checklist Of Things To Consider
- How long can they stay?
- What if the amount of time needed changes?
- How experienced is the staff?
- Do the amenities look safe and comfortable?
Cost Of Respite Care
The average cost of respite care can range from $50 to $100 per day depending on the level of care needed.

Are you worried that your child isn't developing like other children? Has your child been diagnosed with a developmental delay or disability? You are not alone. We are here to help you find answers to your questions. Other parents and therapists are here with you.
Senate Passes National Family Caregiver Support Program
Earlier this week, the Senate passed the Older Americans Act (OAA). This bill contains the eligibility fix for the national family caregiver support program that will now include older relative caregivers (aged 55 and over) of their adult children with disabilities (aged 18-59).
The National Family Caregiver Support Program was the first federal program to recognize the needs of the nation's family caregivers who provide the vast majority of long-term services and supports. This program not only funds respite, but individual counseling, support groups, and caregiver training for family caregivers, primarily for those who are caring for the aging population.
With the increasing number of Americans who are caregivers of their adult children with disabilities, we are thrilled to see this improvement in the program. There are over 800,000 caregivers of persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (ID/DD) who are over the age of 60. This number is projected to grow substantially with the aging of the "baby boomer" generation. People with intellectual and developmental disabilities are also living longer due to medical advances. As parents of these individuals age, they will require more support to be able to continue providing care to their adult children and avoiding costly and unwanted institutional placement.
More than at any other time, when Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security are being threatened, helping family caregivers to continue providing long-term services and supports is good public policy.
The National Family Caregiver Support Program and the Older Americans Act have been on our radar as they have direct impact for improving and securing a life with out limits for those living with disabilities and their families.
Call Your Member of Congress and tell them how thankful you are for the passage of the National Family Caregiver Support Program and the Older Americans Act!
To help guide your call, we have put together a list of talking points.
New Device Helping Infants with Disabilities Learn to Crawl
The SIPPC (Self-Initiated Prone Progressive Crawler) is currently being used by doctors to understand brain patterns associated with movement to analyze how infants go about their decision-making process. The NSF-funded trial should be completed by the end of the year. Doctors continue to refine the design and apply it for children with various disabilities, including those who are visually-impaired.

What Can You Do to Protect Access and Independence?
When it comes to paying for wheelchairs and other equipment, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) uses a program called 'competitive bidding'. Over the years, United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) has worked with the disability community to ensure that the competitive bidding process does not restrict reimbursement of the equipment necessary to live daily life with a disability. But a recent development has come up– and could drastically limit the payment for and access to much-needed tools and technology. Learn what YOU CAN DO…

The FROW-ers at London Fashion Week have been wearing the hottest Spring 2013 RTW from Louis Vuitton checks to Prada daisies and braving stilettos on the Somerset cobbles. Casual is certainly not a word you would use to describe front row fashion, as London Fashion Week is the one place you can wear anything you want. There is no such thing as OTT at fashion week.
But what about the models? They spent the last five days dashing between shows, walking in outlandish fashions and 5 inch and up heels. So the last thing they want to wear on their commute between shows is a pencil skirt and Monolos. The biggest model off duty trend in London was striped jeans and tights, as we spotted Ms Cara Delevingne wearing jazzy purple and white striped jeans and other models wearing thin monochrome jeans and stripey tights.
Ripped denim, distressed cut-off shorts and beanies were model staples as usual. But we also saw lots of neon jumpers, bright coloured coats and leather skinny trousers. Our favourite looks from London have to be the girl in head to tooe black with thigh high black leg warmers and the model in a cobalt blue coat with leather skinnies.
Accessories wise it's all about a massive handbag which they can cart all their belongings between the shows in, a pair of big headphones and, of course, a portfolio casually tucked under their arm.
Want to see more of the models at London Fashion Week? Take a look at all the behind the scenes action from the London shows or take a look at Portia Freeman's exclusive fashion week diary.

My son Grant — the middle one, the 8-year-old — doesn't have any tags in his shirts; he hasn't since he was 2 years old. They have been ripped away, surgically removed or, for the stubborn ones when Grant can't find help or scissors, bitten off.
Grant, whom I have written about before, has sensory issues. They aren't major — a lot of parents have it considerably worse. But the seams in certain socks drive him crazy, the way pants fit, the stiffness of dress shirts and the tags — my sweet goodness, the tags! — all make him squirm and itch and fight. Trying to buy him clothes is like marching through a minefield — you want to avoid any and all triggers and are hoping to simply get out alive.
As he's grown older (he turns 9 in a couple of weeks), he's gotten tremendously better. He'll wear jeans now (reluctantly); he doesn't abandon his school uniform for his pajamas the minute he bolts through the door; we don't even have to fight with him anymore about not wearing sweatpants to Mass.
And as I've grown older, I've gotten tremendously better, too. My beautiful and devout wife has always been considerably calmer (regarding this issue) than me. I used to fight constantly with him about his wardrobe choices. My anger over the course of the argument would evolve from asking nicely to bartering to flat-out demanding. It went a little like this: "Seriously, buddy, just wear the shirt"; "If you wear the shirt, you'll get to ____" (insert one of the following: get a treat, pick out a toy, not be spanked, go to Disneyland, buy a car, a snake, whatever you want); and eventually it turned into: "OK, now it's not about the shirt, it's about not listening to me when I tell you to WEAR THE SHIRT."
But I've learned that in most situations, nobody (but me) cares what he's wearing. I'd rather have him pleasant in a sweatshirt than acting like he's Linda Blair in "The Exorcist" in a button-down, because getting him to wear clothes he doesn't want to wear is like putting a straightjacket on a cat.
So we've come to an accord: He'll wear khakis and a collared shirt for a few hours on Sundays and I won't scream at him (about his clothes, anyway) for the rest of the week.
Late last month, I was recalling all these fights we used to have, about the tags and the pants and the shirts, about the seams in his socks and "it's too itchy!" Last month, you see, he was decked out: crisp white shirt with the tag fully intact, black tie clipped onto his stiff collar, black dress pants with a belt — no elastic waist! — and brand-new black dress shoes. He put on his outfit carefully, proudly and without a fight.
Flanked by his mother on his left and me on his right, he stood with his classmates in a long line that spilled from the narthex — the boys in their white shirts and ties, some in miniature suits, others in tiny blazers, and the girls all in white, with veils or tiaras placed atop their perfect, pulled-up hair. They looked like 40 little angels.
Our amazing, sweet, funny, ornery boy had been waiting years for his first Communion. When he was little (fine, littler), as we knelt in our pew in preparation for the Eucharist one Sunday morning, he turned to his mom and sister and asked, in all seriousness, "When do I get to join the white cookie party?"
Leading up to the big day, he had asked all the usual questions: What does it taste like, is it really Jesus' body (and isn't that kind of weird?), etc. As a class, they had practiced the procedures. He was fully prepared. As we made the short walk up the main aisle and approached the priest, I watched Grant. He appeared nervous. His normal smirk was replaced by a look of concentration as he tried to remember when to bow and how to hold his hands. He did great — meaning, he didn't fumble the host — and made the sign of the cross on his way back to the pew.
After pictures, our large family got together to celebrate. Like the 50-pound tornado he is, Grant tore through his cake and cards and gifts, leaving only a path of crumbs and envelopes and gift bags in his wake. When we got home and he settled down from the sugar high, we asked him about the day he — and we — would never forget. His eyes squinted, and he smiled. "It was the best day ever. I got money, I got presents, and I got Jesus!"
By this time, he was in his pajamas, having ditched his dress clothes for sweats hours ago at the party. But he kept them on longer than we thought, surpassing our expectations — like he always does.

The facts of the child sexual abuse scandal in the Penn State football program are laid out very clearly in the Freeh Report. As early as 1998, Penn State officials were aware that Jerry Sandusky had showered with a minor in the football team's shower room. That incident, which was reported to university police and the DPW, and was looked into by the DA's office, came to nothing, despite a report from the boy's psychologist that what Sandusky was doing was "grooming" behavior, typical of pedophiles. Sandusky was told by university officials that he should not shower with youngsters, but nothing was done to monitor this. Sandusky retired in 1999, but was given "emeritus" status, with privileges to maintain an office and use the sports facilities at the university.
In the fall of 2000, a janitor sees Sandusky, again in the team shower room, performing oral sex on a young boy. He tells other janitors who collectively decide not to report it. As the Freeh Report quotes one janitor, "[R]eporting the incident would have been like going against the President of the United States in my eyes." "I know Paterno has so much power, if he wanted to get rid of someone, I would have been gone." "He [i.e., the janitor] explained, 'football runs this university,' and said the University would have closed ranks to protect the football program at all costs."
Then in February, 2001, Mike McQueary, a graduate assistant in the football program sees Sandusky, naked and in a position indicative of anal sex with a 10 or 12 year old boy in the football team's shower room. The young graduate assistant tells his father, who advises him to report this to the head football coach, which the young grad assistant does. The head football coach, who really runs the show, informs his on-paper superior, the university's athletic director, but does no more than that. He does not think of calling the police or trying to find the identity and the nature of the harm to the young victim. After some internal discussions, a recommendation is made to the university president, by the athletic director, referred to by one unnamed university official in the Freeh Report as Paterno's "errand boy," that they should report the incident to the Second Mile Foundation, Sandusky's employer and should ban Sandusky from using Penn State's athletic facilities with young people. No police, not even the university's own police, are called this time. The former coach goes on using his retirement office at the university, and goes on sexually assaulting other young boys, benefitting from the credibility and trustworthiness that his Penn State connections gave him.
The paradigm of patriarchy here is clear, and the word patriarchy is appropriate, since this is an all male hierarchy. Amateur male athletes play the game, aided by male graduate assistants or assistant coaches, who report to the male head coach, who, although he may be midstream in the flow chart, makes all of the major decisions regarding the football program, above even the athletic director and the university president himself. The head coach is the father figure in this patriarchy. He holds it all together with paternal but unquestionable authority. At its upper reaches, this patriarchy is extremely powerful. At its lower reaches, this patriarchy is intensely loyal, hoping one day to mount the ladder that will lead to its own patriarchal power.
When this world is threatened by outsiders, the wagons are circled, lower echelons of the patriarchy are told to trust the decisions of the upper echelon, and the upper level, those who get the largest rewards from the patriarchy in terms of financial remuneration and career achievement, make decisions in secret, not about how to do the right thing, but about how to protect the patriarchy and their own careers within it. The patriarch defends and legitimizes the patriarchy, and is blind to the rights of others outside the patriarchy. The outsider, who in the case of Penn State was a powerless, raped child, means nothing to them. The patriarchy and their interests in it mean everything.
This model darkly mirrors exactly what happened in the Catholic church in the United States during the clerical child sexual abuse crisis in the second half of the twentieth century, and while it does not excuse it, it does help to explain why it happened as it did.
The Catholic church embodies the word patriarchy, and it too succumbed to this system of patriarchal loyalty when confronted with the largest crisis in its recent history. Too many bishops, when they were made aware of a priest's sexual abuse of a child in the 1970s and 80s, thought of the patriarchy and their own careers first. Higher authorities in Rome were deferred to, even as those authorities dithered over how to handle this crisis. Priest abusers were protected, not punished, for their crimes, and the child victim was basically ignored.
The factual parallels between the church's child sex abuse crisis and Penn State's could be drawn out forever. Interestingly, all of the analysis to date has reflected on how very similar the institutional response to credible reports of child sexual abuse was by both of these powerful institutions. But no one has asked the deeper, larger and more important question: why was the response so similar?
What is unique about patriarchies that makes them act this way? Why did they both ignore the powerless child and hide the acts of the abuser? Did the patriarchal nature of Penn State's football program and the patriarchal nature of the Catholic church predetermine their response to allegations of child sexual abuse in their midst? Of course it did, in both cases.
Patriarchies are the functional equivalent of dictatorships, dressed up as "families," headed by a father figure who controls all and to whom complete loyalty is owed. In return, the patriarch provides the benefits of advancement and success to those within the patriarchy and protection from those outside. The outside world is made up of "others," – non-members of the "family," the team, the hierarchy. Within this patriarchy, the outsider has no rights. In fact, it is the "otherness" of the outsider that helps to give the patriarchy its identity and uniqueness.
Each patriarch picks his "staff" but the real work is done by "players" who, no matter what their individual talents are, have to subsume themselves to the team. Operating with tunnel vision, the patriarchs, whether they be bishops or university football coaches, perceive their world as the only real one and everything else is tangential. The patriarchy acts a bulwark against this larger world to which it is not accountable and which has no business questioning it. Great respect, even from the outside world, is given these patriarchs as though their talents and power in a narrow field, real as they may be, are transferable to other areas where they are not. Within the patriarchy, there is the eternal deference of an almost medieval court.
And then, something occurs to let the larger world into the private world of the patriarchs. Word of what has happened to the powerless victim leaks to the outside world. And the decisions that the patriarchs thought would be secret forever are now open to the larger world's scrutiny, for investigation and dissection, and, most importantly, to hold the patriarchs responsible for what happened to that powerless victim, who now speaks with the power of truth on his side. Patriarchies have a hard time dealing with external truth-seekers. It is not in their nature to be accountable.
As the larger, real world examines what happened at Penn State, those members of the patriarchy who are left will have to answer in the open light of day for what they decided in the dark. The university's Senior Vice-President for Finance and Business, Gary Schultz, and Athletic Director, Tim Curley, await trial on criminal charges of failing to report allegations of child sexual abuse against Sandusky to law enforcement and of perjury in their grand jury testimony. Sadly, the head of the patriarchy has died and is unable to be questioned anymore. And the parallel of Coach Paterno dying before the Sandusky trial with Cardinal Bevilacqua dying before the Monsignor Lynn trial is so eerie as to be unbelievable. But inside the Church and at Penn State, the patriarch's world is broken and exposed, and nothing can ever put it back together again, at least not the way it was.
Nicholas P. Cafardi
Also, and saddest of all for us as Christians; Where is the prelate who says "it is true? I have sinned. I am guilty and submits to justice in the name of Christ and for the love of Jesus?
There was that in both institutions but the root cause I think is deeper.
In the Church you had and have rampant clericalism.
Also in the case of Joe Paterno and Wojtyla you had men whose power corrupted them and that is a human trait that goes back a lot further than Lord Acton's famous words.
Institutionalism is another that is not linked directly to maleness .
It is clear that the bishops and cardinals and Popes were more intent on keeping the false image up than in following truth but that would be probably true of any organization,the only bulwark to this is the individual.
Penn State may now take down the statue of Paterno as an act of repentance.The Vatican would only give you a belly laugh at the idea of doing the same for their Father Paterno.
There is also the case of idolatry in both cases.Sports and religion are prone to demagogues.Religion and Sport both eleicit great emotions that can turn our eyes from reality. The words of Paterno's family were disgusting.They could have been written by Rome in their selfserving nature.Football will survive and so will the Catholic Church but the victims are a reminder that what is above all is God and conscience.Newman's thoughts on conscience need to be sown into the cathechism.
''The patriarch defends and legitimizes the patriarchy, and is blind to the rights of others outside the patriarchy. The outsider, who in the case of Penn State was a powerless, raped child, means nothing to them. The patriarchy and their interests in it mean everything.''
Is there really a sharp line between ''inside'' and ''outside'' the patriarchy? For example, suppose it were one of the football players who was sexually abused, raped, etc., or one of the assistant coaches, etc., i.e., people within the patriarchy. Would that change things, since they're inside the patriarchy? Would the abuser be reported, then? Same thing with the Church: if the person abused/raped were a priest, or a seminarian, or even a bishop, or anyone ''in'' the patriarchy, would the abuser really be reported? In other words, I'm not sure that the response would really be different if the victim were inside the patriarchy, vs. outside. And also, given that the victims were boys, wouldn't they kind of technically be in the patriarchy, both in the case of the Penn State, and also in the Church (I mean, in those cases where the victims were boys)?
Also, I wonder if the pattern of cover-up, etc. would be the same if the crime/sin/etc. were something other than sex abuse, or something unrelated to sex. Suppose there was a priest who was a kleptomaniac, or a murderer (God forbid), or an arsonist, etc. - same thing with Sandusky, suppose he'd been one of those things instead. Would there have been such a concern over scandal and shame? I mean, I could be wrong, but my sense of things is that the Church and universities haven't really covered up crimes of that nature, at least not in the same systemic pattern or to the same degree. Doesn't the fact that it's sex-related factor into this somehow?
Nicholas Cafardi also did a little protection of his own, by excluding from this article the recent case in the Jesuit order that implicated Fr. Bradley Schaeffer and Georgetown University. See the April 15 Boston Globe article titled "For the Jesuits, a long road to accountability," http://articles.boston.com/2012-04-15/metro/31342179_1_jesuit-leaders-chicago-province-schaeffer). And I haven't seen anything in America about the more recent accusation against liberal favorite Fr. Drinan SJ, in Emily Yoffe's "My Molestors" in Slate June 21. http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2012/06/why_don_t_sexual_assault_victims_speak_out_i_was_molested_three_times_here_s_why_i_never_told_my_family_or_the_police_.single.html.

It's hard to go anywhere without a map – especially into the deep and complex world of genetics. Now, Kansas State University researcher Bikram Gill and an international team of researchers have developed a physical map of wheat's wild ancestor, Aegilops tauschii, commonly called goatgrass, as they take the first huge step toward sequencing the wheat genome – a complete look at wheat's genetic matter.
A physical map of a genome shows the physical locations of genes and other DNA sequences of interest. Scientists use them to identify and isolate genes that are responsible for different traits, such as disease resistance and days to maturity.
The research was published in the April 22 edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2013/04/18/1219082110.full.pdf+html.

Robinson: Steelers offense will determine how deep they go into January
Some deep thoughts on the Steelers offense.
If numbers indeed do not lie, offensive coordinator Todd Haley's effect on Ben Roethlisberger and the way he plays was significant during their first season together. Year 2 starts Friday in Latrobe.
According to Pro Football Focus, which analyzes every play of every NFL game, Roethlisberger attempted 47 passes of 20 yards or longer last season, completing 11 for 422 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions. Four passes were dropped.
Those 47 attempts are approximately one-third fewer than the 68 deep passes Roethlisberger attempted during a 12-4 season under former offensive coordinator Bruce Arians in 2011. Roethlisberger completed 21 of those for 729 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions. Two were dropped.
That's a significant falloff from 21 deep passes completed in 2011 to 11 last season, even as Roethlisberger fell only three places — from 26th to 29th — in leaguewide deep passing statistics. Among the quarterbacks who ranked higher than Roethlisberger in completing the deep throw were Mark Sanchez, Nick Foles and Michael Vick. Roethlisberger barely finished ahead of Brandon Weeden and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
What's intriguing is that during the Steelers' most recent non-playoff season before last year, in 2009, Roethlisberger was No. 2 in deep passing, completing 30 of 69 attempts — with seven passes dropped — for 1,028 yards, nine touchdowns and six interceptions. That's when Big Ben was truly big-play Ben.
In just three seasons, Roethlisberger has gone from completing 30 passes of 20 yards or longer to only 11.
During the Steelers' last Super Bowl season in 2010, Roethlisberger was No. 7 in deep passing, going 22 of 54 for 725 yards and four touchdowns.
The numbers support all the speculation before and during the season that Haley would dial back on the deep throws and call more high-percentage pass plays designed to keep the chains moving and Roethlisberger from absorbing the punishment that can occur as he attempts to find the time to go downfield.
Haley tinkered with the offense during the offseason — all coordinators do — but Roethlisberger didn't say if he lobbied for more deep throws, something he commonly did with Arians.
"We're going to have to wait and see what happens in Game No. 1," Roethlisberger said. "I don't want to unveil any secrets yet."
Among the other measurable quarterback statistics, Roethlisberger — at age 30, and in his ninth NFL season — ranked much higher. He was third in passing accuracy while under pressure (71.1 percent completion rate) and seventh in overall accuracy (75.8 percent) when dropped passes, intentional throwaways and spikes were discarded.
He is the ninth slowest quarterback in getting rid of the ball (2.88 seconds), but that time-in-the-pocket number could be as much the result of his inconsistent pass protection as it is his delivery. Aaron Rodgers and Andrew Luck were even slower than Roethlisberger, barely ranking ahead of read-option quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton.
With training camp about to start amid speculation how much the loss of James Harrison and Mike Wallace will affect the Steelers, some other interesting numbers:
• Wallace finished only 58th in wide receiver rating, which factors in the number of times a receiver is targeted and the yards he produces. Wallace was targeted 116 times, catching 64 passes for 838 yards. Five passes intended for him were intercepted.
• Factoring in sacks, hits and quarterback hurries, Harrison applied pressure on about 10 percent (28) of his 286 pass rushes. For comparison's sack, LaMarr Woodley had 26 pressures on 234 pass rushes. Harrison rushed on 294 snaps to Woodley's 235.
• Keenan Lewis, now with the Saints, ranked 20th among NFL cornerbacks in stopping the run, something that is overlooked at a position where defenders who can't stop the pass don't last long in the league.

Heather's Ribbons with Eggplant, Tomato & Blue Cheese Quick Weeknight Meals Recipe Contest 2009
Name: Heather
Recipe: Little Ribbons with Eggplant, Tomato and Blue Cheese
How long does it take? 30 minutes
Why is it a favorite meal? It's a terrific way to use some of your late summer bounty! Simple, inexpensive, satisfying and ridiculously delicious!
Little Ribbons with Eggplant, Tomato and Blue Cheese
[serves 2]
1/2 large eggplant, cut into 3/4? cubes
2 T olive oil
1/4 medium to large red onion, sliced thinly
1 medium clove garlic, minced
A handful of fresh basil, sliced into thin strips [chiffonade]
1/4 to 1/3 lb fettuccine pasta [depending on your appetite]
2 T sherry vinegar [I used a one:one combo of sherry cooking wine and red wine vinegar]
1 large roma tomato, diced
1/2 c tomato sauce
2-3 large button mushrooms, washed and diced
Hot chilli pepper flakes, to taste [I used about 3/4 t for a good kick]
1 T minced fresh parsley
About 4 oz blue cheese, cut into small cubes
A generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, 1 to 1 1/2 T
Salt, if necessary
Preheat oven to 400 F. Spread eggplant in a single layer on a small sheet pan and toss with 1 T olive oil. Roast in oven for 20 minutes, or until eggplant is brown and tender.
As the eggplant cooks, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Generously salt the water and add fettuccine; cook according to package directions, or until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat a large saute pan and cook onions in the remaining 1 T olive oil until just caramelized. Add garlic, cook for a moment or two more, and deglaze pan with sherry vinegar. Add the roasted eggplant, tomato and tomato sauce, mushrooms, pepper flakes and the basil. Heat sauce to simmering.
Using a pair of tongs, transfer cooked fettuccine directly into sauce and toss gently; reserve the pasta water. Add the parsley, blue cheese and extra virgin olive oil, tossing again to combine. If the sauce is a little dry or not coating the pasta as much as you'd like, add 2-4T pasta water and allow to cook a minute or two; the cheese should melt down and mix with the existing liquid and starchy pasta water to create a luxurious sauce. Check for seasoning, adjust as necessary. Serve hot with extra basil or blue cheese crumbles to top.
Thanks Heather, and good luck! Readers, give Heather a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

All the News That's Fit to Eat
Chow's Asian Bistro Bellies Up to the Westside—Another sister-restaurant of Chow's Asian Bistro (Santa Fe) and Chow's Chinese Bistro (Northeast Heights) will open its doors in Cottonwood Mall this weekend. That's three locations, three companies, two names and one owner. Confused yet? "It's complicated" says General Manager Jason Zeng. "But all that's just legal stuff. They're basically all part of the same place." Zeng started his career at the restaurant when it first opened 13 years ago in Santa Fe; only then it was called Chow's Contemporary Chinese Food. "We're local, not a corporation. Our highest concentration is on food quality and taste." And Zeng is willing to put his money where his mouth is. Earlier this month, Chow's was voted one of the top 100 Asian restaurants and the No. 1 Asian fusion restaurant in the nation by the National Restaurant Association and the Chinese Restaurant News. That's a big deal.

Civil rights leaders and Christians gathered this April 2013 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's 'Letter from Birmingham Jail.' The Christian leaders there presented a response to Dr. King's daughter, Rev. Bernice King.
Pictured: USCCB staff members and bishops represented the Catholic membership of Christian Churches Together at the event.
Read the full text of some of the powerful speeches delivered and see news coverage on our 50th anniversary landing page.
Ecumenism, from the Greek word "oikoumene," meaning "the whole inhabited world," is the promotion of cooperation and unity among Christians. The Ecumenical movement today has been brought about by the conviction that a divided Christianity is a scandal to the world.
Underlying the Catholic Church's pursuit of ecumenism is its recognition that elements of sanctification and truth are found in other churches (Second Vatican Council, Lumen Gentium 8).
It can be said that the Ecumenicity of the Church is another way of expressing her radical catholicity or universality (See Guidelines for Lutheran-Roman Catholic Dialogue 1967).
Since the 1960's, following Vatican II, breakthrough
agreements have been reached between Catholics and other communions
including statements on Baptism, Eucharist, and Ministry.
The USCCB's Secretariat for Ecumenical and Interreligious Affairs participates in more than a dozen ongoing ecumenical dialogues and consultations.

Accenture employees turn to their internal search several times per second to find knowledge and experts to deliver better solutions for their clients. They also search for quick answers to internal personnel or support questions. But they often abandoned searches, frustrated with results.
Accenture's Search Excellence team knew users were dissatisfied, but they lacked the visibility and tools to measure and influence search rankings. Content-side improvements were helping, but with dozens of sources and millions of items, the pace was too slow. Accenture's internal IT organization decided a new approach was necessary to get a step-change.
Tapping into Accenture's rich content with a new search capability
Accenture managing directors Jason Warnke and Chris Crawford discuss how the new Accenture-developed enterprise search capability better serves our clients and our people.
A global Search Excellence team came together to rethink how to develop a better search solution. They knew core search engine technology was important, but installing a new product was not the solution. Rather, the solution needed to be a combination of measurement, analysis and technology, wrapped in ongoing relevancy improvement processes.
The Search Excellence team focused its initial efforts on defining analytics to use in continual search improvement processes. The team needed immediate and repeatable metrics of search quality, not only to measure user satisfaction, but to evaluate possible relevancy tuning changes.
The team created unique scoring tools that could quickly rescore historical searches and evaluate a curated set of "golden queries" to predict the impact of a proposed relevancy change. These scoring mechanisms were core to the iterative improvement process.
Unable to find an out-of-the-box enterprise search tool that would give Accenture the ability to understand and tune ranking, the team turned to building a solution using an open-source search engine and adding layers specific to Accenture's business. Adding a new layer to the indexes allowed the team to improve, normalize and enrich the metadata across multiple data sources. The additional layer also enabled modifications to the tuning, without lengthy content re-crawls.
The resulting technology solution consisted of five main components: a crawler, enhancement layer, search engine, user presentation, and reporting and analytics.
Accenture's new search capability geared to its needs is now live, providing more relevant searches and encouraging use of Accenture's extensive knowledge resources to better serve clients. In addition, the capability is better, faster and more cost-effective in the following ways:
Better Search results are more relevant and accurate. "Abandoned searches," a user leaving the search results page without clicking, decreased by 25 percent, relevancy scores for the benchmark search terms are steadily improving and anecdotal feedback has been overwhelming positive.
Faster – Users get results in under a second, delivered five times faster on average. The search team can test relevancy changes on-the-fly, rather than after a day-long crawl.
More cost-effective – The new solution runs with fewer and smaller servers. It uses open-source software that is proving simpler to upgrade and manage.
Accenture's search capability breaks new ground by taking an analytic-driven, continuous improvement approach to search, supported by innovative use of open-source search technology coupled with custom extensions and tooling.

Scandal seiyuu Aya Hirano has announced she her next release will be "xxx" in character, and has also been exposing some intimate pictures of herself on her site.
Her new single "TOxxxIC" is set for a February release under the auspices of Universal Music, and should be followed with a new round of activity.
After a long hiatus – which she attributed to contract issues but various media reports have claimed was actually her agency masters punishing her for using her band as a harem – the single marks her "long awaited" return to the music world after a period of exile in theatre, though whether she will as promised return to her seiyuu career is another matter still.
She has also been celebrating Christmas Eve with some festive pictures of her family cats:

On Getting Away: Cheesemonger Travels in England
I've recently come back from a month-long trip to Europe. Last week, I covered my cheese findings and favorites in Italy.
Today, the report on cheese in England, including my top cheese pick in London.
If I could have, I'd have stayed much longer in England, but France was calling my name (stay tuned next week for news on French cheese.) But even in four days, I could see that cheese is alive and thriving in the England, which didn't come as a surprise, considering their rich history of cheesemaking.
My findings come mainly from the Borough Market, where I spent a hefty chunk of a day, and Neal's Yard Dairy, where I spent the other hefty chunk. In both places, the quantity of cheeses was only matched by their quality.
At Borough Market, I found a burgeoning small farm cheese scene, reminiscent of some of the dairies that appear regularly at my own farmer's market at Union Square in New York. In addition to the cheddars and Stiltons, there were countless others, along the lines of Caerphilly, Lancashire, and Cheshire, those cheeses of the firm, toothsome variety, best enjoyed alongside a robust English Ale. Most surprising were some styles I'd never seen in States from England: bloomies, many small-format, raw-milk goat cheeses, and mountain cheeses, all original inventions that departured from traditional, better-known recipes.
And while at Neal's Yard, I tasted mainly English cheeses of the French goat cheese variety, all beautifully aged, in the most excellent condition. As if we didn't already know, Neal's Yard is seriously adept at keeping delicious cheeses tasting as they should.
As I mentioned last week, keeping it local was incredibly prevalent in Europe. England, however, was much less defined by solely English cheeses; while in France I saw only French cheeses and in Italy I saw only Italian, England showcased a much more worldly selection. Italian, Irish, Spanish, and French cheeses sat directly next to the English greats. There was even a stand at Borough Market which sold only Parmigiano Reggiano delle Vacche Rosse, a Slow Food-endorsed cheese made from the milk of an endangered species of cow.
In fact, one of the best cheese things I ate wasn't English at all: a simple pressed sandwich at a seriously excellent Argentinian restaurant, made with chorizo, arugula, and thick slices of Monte Enebro goat cheese from Castilla y León. All served, appropriately, with a sweet and spicy English chutney. Not surprisingly, this combination came close to what made the most impression cheese-wise. But it didn't quite make the cut.
What actually gets the mention is Bath Blue, from the award-winning Bath Soft Cheese Co. in Kelson, England. Quite possibly one of the better blues I've tasted ever, and so much of this praise is due to its textural qualities, which I found so compelling. It was nearly velvety– in that way that only blues can be, luxuriating on the tongue. It was reminiscent of the best of Stiltons: earthy, sweet, and lingering, incredibly complex in body, with large, creamy pockets of blue veining and smooth, nearly curd-like clumps making up the paste.
If you're fortunate enough to go to Borough Market, please seek them out. The stand is just across from the Italian guy selling Parmigiano Reggiano.
Nora Singley is an avid lover of cheese, and for some time she was a cheesemonger and the Director of Education at Murray's Cheese Shop in New York City, where she continues to teach cheese classes for the public. She is currently an Assistant TV Chef and food stylist on The Martha Stewart Show.

Iowa and Nevada are closed caucuses and Democrat numbers are not recorded precisely, so let's consider the increases in Republican turnout in each of these states from 2008 to 2016:
The total US population grew 6% over that same period of time.
Even more suggestive of a Trumpian November triumph are the non-closed contests in New Hampshire and South Carolina, where unaffiliated voters may participate in either party's primary (but not both of them). The following table shows total votes cast in each primary and the percentages of each year's voters who participated in the Democrat and Republican primaries (D%-R%):
|Dem '08
|Dem '16
|New Hampshire
|South Carolina
The contrast in South Carolina between '08 and '16 is astounding. In '08, more people voted in the Democrat primary than in the Republican one. Eight years later, there were more than twice as many participants on the Republican side as there were on the Democrat side.
Helmut Norpoth's model that got attention last week for audaciously putting the odds of a Trump presidency between 97%-99% was reverse-engineered to fit the data, a sort of complicated linear regression equation.
That's a reasonable approach, but it's not fool-proof. In fact, it's a big reason Nate Silver has so much egg on his face from his terrible predictions about the race so far. The problem with reverse-engineering formulas like this is that it doesn't take account of sui generis phenomena, and Trump is just that.
Specifically, Trump's self-funding (he's a real boy in a Republican field of pinnocchios); his pugnacious refusal to back down to anyone--the guy is getting nuked from outer space, attacked by his own party, by the president, by the pope--no one in the history of American politics has been able to withstand this kind of relentless onslaught and yet Trump isn't just withstanding it, he's thriving from it; and his strategic leveraging of social media (I tend to hear about the latest 'controversy' surrounding Trump from Trump himself before I see it in the major media) means that he can effectively fight the entire world on his own and come out on top. His position as king of social media gives him a wider effective reach than Fox News, the New York Times, and the WSJ combined.
The question still remains why this theoretical landslide isn't being detected in the polling data. I put little stock in hypothetical general election match-ups when both fields still have multiple candidates. The explanation as to why is tricky, but let's give it a shot.
When pollsters contact people, they filter out everyone who isn't a "likely voter" (in most polls anyway--some just ask about registered voters. LV is superior to RV). They then proceed to ask who these "likely voter" respondents would vote for if it were Hillary v Trump, Hillary v Cruz, Hillary v Rubio, Hillary v Kasich, Bernie v Trump, Bernie v Cruz, etc. Well, these respondents are now tagged as "likely voters" and so will usually answer even if the candidates in question won't motivate them to actually get out and vote a year later. These respondents weren't really lying when they identified as a "likely voter", but that likeliness may well be contingent on who the nominee is. In a race like this, that benefits Trump enormously.
An example of how this works in practice is you get a Trump supporter who is dead set on backing his, so when the pollster asks if he's a likely voter, he says he is. But if Trump's not the nominee, he's not actually going to go out and vote on election day. Theoretically this can go in any direction (Trump keeping Rubio supporters home), but given how the huge Republican surge thus far is overwhelmingly a consequence of Trump, it's far more likely that people will sit the election out if he's not the nominee than if he is.
The upshot of polls being conducted in this manner is that we get absurd results such as Kasich showing up as the best matchup for the GOP against Hillary in the general, while Cruz and Trump often appear to be the worst. But Kasich doesn't have any enthusiastic supporters, while Cruz and Trump do. Those Trump and Cruz supporters are still telling these pollsters that in Hillary v Kasich, they'll vote for Kasich, but in reality a lot of them won't.

Haute Cuisine on Crystal Serenityby Katrina Carter | June 10, 2004
Crystal Serenity Photo Gallery
Before boarding Crystal Cruises' newest ship, the 68,000-ton Crystal Serenity, in New York, I felt like a kid anticipating a shopping spree in a toy store. Crystal Cruises has received some of the highest accolades from both travel and culinary critics. This was my first trans-Atlantic voyage, and I knew it would be a unique opportunity to enjoy extraordinary food and cultural experiences.
The excitement of dining in Serenity's two alternative gourmet restaurants -- the Nobu Matsuhisa-designed Silk Road and Piero Selvaggi's Prego -- was "button-popping!" As a New Yorker, I have endured the month-long wait for a dinner reservation at Nobu's flagship restaurant in Manhattan with no regrets. To secure a table in both the ship's restaurants, I made reservations as soon as I unpacked. You should do the same when sailing on Serenity.
In Prego, I enjoyed one of my favorite antipasti: Carpaccio di Manzo, thinly sliced raw beef tenderloin with a mustard sauce and capers. It was delicate and light, leaving ample room for my entree: a new style of tortellini filled with artichokes, tossed with a rock shrimp sauce and herbs. I also found a little room for dessert. I ordered Prego's Tiramisu, and it definitely perked me up. It was so light and delicious that again I wanted seconds (I practiced restraint). Prego also offers an extensive special tasting menu with suggested wine pairings.
Dining in Prego and the Silk Road impressed me on many levels. The style with which Serenity culinary team presents the foods of the world demonstrates Crystal Cruises' respect for the world's diversity, its individual cultures and unique culinary creations.
The "American Classic" is the newest of Crystal's "alfresco" afternoon dining events. Our empty plates were soon filled with the amazing tastes of American foods. Executive Chef Franz Weiss and his team understand that this is a country of immigrants, and the cuisine has grown from a melting pot of cultures. The "American Classic" buffet reflected the wonders of our diverse cultures. The menu included a Louisiana jambalaya and gumbos; a chunky, hearty chili from Texas; a California-style Cobb salad; and Navajo fry bread. The grill sizzled with baby back ribs, beef ribs and blackened fish. The desserts forced the strictest weight-watcher to throw out the calorie counter. We sampled an abundance of sweets, including New York cheesecake, lemon bars and much more. Of course, grandma's apple pie was there as well!
Later in the cruise, we sailed on to the food delights of the Mediterranean. On a brisk spring afternoon, Serenity offered the "Cuisine of the Sun." As I stepped on the Lido Deck and smelled the aromas from the grills, my taste buds recalled memorable vacations in Spain and Portugal. The expansive array of dishes reflected foods from a dozen countries bordering the Mediterranean. I was immediately drawn to the grills, and sampled Turkish marinated lamb skewers and my secret favorite, sardines grilled in grape leaves. The grilled seafood brochettes from Spain and a tasty tajine of chicken also got an appreciative taste. There were breads from France, Italian olive bread, sesame bread from Turkey and samples from many more home kitchens. The "Cuisine of the Sun" was truly special, and will take its place as one of my favorite Serenity food memories.I must mention Crystal's afternoon teas. The array of sweets and finger foods served at the Mozart Tea was spectacular! The staff dressed beautifully in brocade and lace costumes of old Vienna as they served some of the best tea-time treats you will ever experience. I met many repeat passengers during this voyage who have logged several Crystal cruises, and have plans to do more.
So that you can enjoy a Crystal Cruises dining experience at home, I'm passing along one of my favorite recipes, Chicken Jambalaya with Andouille Sausage and Clams, from the Crystal Cruises Cookbook. While there are countless jambalaya recipes, this one is special. Try it, let your imagination fly and make it your own.
Chicken Jambalaya with Andouille Sausage and Clams
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a heavy ovenproof casserole or cast-iron skillet over medium heat, heat the fat or oil and saute the chicken until browned on both sides. Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a plate. In the same pan, saute the Tasso and Andouilles until browned, stirring frequently. Add the onions, shallots, garlic, celery, bell peppers and leeks, and sauté, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes or until the onions and shallots are translucent. Return the chicken to the pan. Raise the heat to high and cook for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add the Cajun spices, salt and pepper to taste. Add the tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the tomato sauce and stocks and bring to a boil. Add the green onions and cook for 3 minutes. Add the rice. Stir well and remove from heat.
Cover the pan with a lid or aluminum foil. Place the pan in the oven and cook for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Meanwhile, in a stock pot, bring the white wine to a simmer over medium heat. Add the clams and cook about 3 minutes or until the clams have opened. Discard any that do not open. Set aside and keep warm.
Remove the jambalaya from the oven and stir in the clam mixture, combining well. Add the cilantro. Serve in shallow bowls or bring the casserole or skillet to the table and serve family style.
Be sure to have fun!

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Rutgers trailed eighth-ranked Louisville 17-10 and coach Kyle Flood liked his team's chances with 10 minutes remaining.
The Scarlet Knights (4-2, 1-1 American Athletic Conference) just couldn't take advantage, making key turnovers against the Cardinals (6-0, 2-0) in a 24-10 defeat Thursday night.
Cornerback Anthony Cioffi had just sacked Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, forcing a fumble that teammate David Milewski recovered to keep Rutgers within a touchdown.
"We had the ball down 7, on the road in a hostile environment against a top-10 football team — I would take that any time," Flood said. "I had complete confidence at that point that we were going to make the plays to win the game and we didn't do that."
Gary Nova's deep pass down was intercepted three plays later by Calvin Pryor, the first of two fourth-quarter pickoffs. Rutgers again had a chance to tie following Louisville's missed 45-yard field goal, but Nova was intercepted for the fourth and final time by Terell Floyd with 5:29 left to play.
Nova completed 19 of 36 passes for 202 yards and a touchdown.
Bridgewater's second touchdown pass of the night with 2:27 remaining killed Rutgers' hope of coming back.
"We had plenty of opportunities and we didn't take advantage of them," Nova said. "Credit Louisville's defense. They gave a lot of different looks, switched it up a lot and did a lot of different things. We never really got settled into the game."
Credit Louisville's defense, indeed. The Scarlet Knights came in averaging 423 yards a game and had scored 28 points or more — including two outbursts of more than 50 points — in each of its first five games. Rutgers finished with 240 total yards and only 12 yards rushing on 27 attempts. The Scarlet Knights entered the night averaging 180 on the ground.
The Cardinals registered a season-high eight sacks — the most since recording nine at Rutgers on Nov. 26, 2010 — but Flood would rather have seen Nova take a few more instead of sending errant throws into the hands of Louisville defenders.
"It's hard to talk about Gary's play really without talking about the protection," Flood said. "Just looking at it, eight sacks in the game and he probably could have taken two or three others without putting the ball in jeopardy. I think the biggest issue we have right now is protecting him better."
Louisville's defensive performance offset Bridgewater's off night before 26 scouts from 20 NFL teams. The junior completed 21 of 31 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns, but he also threw an interception along with the fumble.
But it took pickoffs by Pryor and Floyd to help preserve a lead that was tenuous in the second half.
Floyd's interception gave Bridgewater a chance to close strong, and he hit Eli Rogers for the clinching touchdown to send a huge crowd home happy in the final meeting between the schools as conference members. Louisville is headed to the Atlantic Coast Conference next season, while Rutgers is bound for the Big Ten.
The series finale had Cardinals coach Charlie Strong lamenting the end of a highly competitive rivalry. But it didn't change the bottom line of getting the upper hand in a conference race that figures to involve both schools. And typical of recent meetings, it was decided late.
Louisville scored the first 17 points and led 17-7 at halftime. The Scarlet Knights managed just 1 yard rushing and Nova was intercepted twice.
After Louisville drove 65 yards for John Wallace's 24-yard field goal on its first possession, James Burgess returned an interception 39 yards to set up Bridgewater's 34-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Kai De La Cruz two plays later for a 10-0 lead.
Louisville's next scoring drive featured two 12-yard runs by Bridgewater followed by Perry's 23-yarder on a delay that led to his 1-yard TD dive.
Louisville seemed to be in gear but its lead wasn't totally safe against a Rutgers team that has made a habit of comebacks this season. The Scarlet Knights finally got on the scoreboard late in the second quarter as J.T. Tartacoff hit wide-open tight end Tyler Kroft down the middle for 26 yards to the 1. Kroft scored on a 1-yard pass from Nova on the next play.

Bedford, Massachusetts (PRWEB) August 31, 2013
Boston area patent attorney Dave Karasic, founder and Chief Counsel of Patents Etcetera, a Boston area intellectual property and product promotion firm, and inventor Bobby Grantham, are pleased to announce an offer of licensing opportunities for the building and marketing of the Grantham MechVent™, the innovative pre-entry firefighting attack tool shown on Canadian Discovery Channel's Daily Planet show.
Without resorting to the use of expensive alternate materials, the latest design of this firefighting tool (Patent Cooperation Treaty approval pending), is more compact in size and weighs almost 30% less than the one shown on the Canadian Discovery Channel's Daily Planet show.
The MechVent™ provides a means to remove the smoke and heated air from a burning compartment without the requirement that a firefighter be physically in the building. Incorporating this functionality incurs the advantages of improved visibility inside the building, while limiting the possibility of the occurrence of flashover events resulting from the accumulation of excess heat in the burning compartment. The negative pressure ventilation capability by way of the MechVent™ hydraulic ventilation feature handily accomplishes these goals.
The device, developed with R&D funding provided exclusively by Patents Etcetera, has been demonstrated on the Canadian Discovery Channel's Daily Planet show. During the Daily Planet expose of the MechVent™, the different capabilities of this genuinely novel and unprecedented breakthrough in firefighting technology were demonstrated. The MechVent™ can be mounted at the top of a ladder and then put into position in the window of a burning building, and then controlled entirely from outside of the burning building and left unattended thereafter, without putting the firefighting crew in jeopardy. Another innovation incorporated into the Grantham MechVent™ is its firefighter escape platform to facilitate emergency exit from a burning building by a firefighter. Finally, the Grantham MechVent™ is able to apply enough water to suppress the flames in a burning compartment without flooding it with so much water that it compromises the building's structural integrity, accomplished by a rotating nozzle delivering only 9 gallons of water per 10 second burst.
Please contact Attorney Dave Karasic with any questions about the licensing of this revolutionary firefighting tool for production and sale in any and all PCT member countries.

Law School Hosts Luminaries
February 05, 2009
Rarely do a federal agency, an association of private lawyers, and an academic institution join together to organize a conference.
Retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor would know, and she brought this to everyone's attention in her opening address at just such a remarkable event: the combined 40th anniversary celebration of the Federal Judicial Center and annual meeting of the American Academy of Appellate Lawyers, held September 18–19, at Lewis & Clark Law School.
And rarely, too, had such a star-studded constellation of federal judges, lawyers, and scholars appeared on Palatine Hill. Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy gave the event's keynote address, and the panels and presentations featured some of the country's most prominent federal judges and legal scholars. These included Dean Erwin Chemerinsky of University of California at Irvine School of Law and Duke Law School's Walter Dellinger, a former acting U.S. solicitor general.
During the events, both faculty and students gained remarkable access to Justices O'Connor and Kennedy: Each justice held question-and-answer sessions with students, and Justice Kennedy met with faculty for more than an hour and taught classes.
"It was a wonderful gathering, and an unusual one," said Chuck Arberg, assistant division director for Judges and Attorneys Programs in the FJC's Education Division.
As the research and education agency of the federal judicial system, the FJC sponsors numerous conferences each year to orient and educate federal judges and court employees. "But in this case," Arberg explained, "we had an audience of judges, lawyers, AAAL members, and students. And typically if we have a program attended by Supreme Court justices, it's one held in Washington, D.C. So to have two justices there was a great achievement."
