Malaysia Airports earns another recognition for its sustainability efforts
Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad has earned another recognition recently for its continuous efforts in sustainability development. FTSE Group confirmed that Malaysia Airports has been independently assessed according to the FTSE4Good criteria and has satisfied the requirements to become a constituent of the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index (also known as the Environmental, Social, Governance - ESG Index) for Malaysian Public Listed Companies.
Created by the global index company; FTSE Group, FTSE4Good is an equity index series that is designed to facilitate investment in companies that meet globally-recognised corporate responsibility standards. Companies in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index have met stringent environmental, social and governance criteria and are positioned to capitalise on the benefits of responsible business practice.
On 22nd December 2014, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad was notified by Bursa Malaysia that it will be included in the new FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index for Malaysian Public Listed Companies. The new ESG Index is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating good ESG practices and is aligned with other leading global ESG frameworks such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Carbon Disclosure Project. As a constituent of the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index, it is clear that Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad is demonstrating a leading approach within the Malaysian market to address relevant corporate responsibility risks.
The selection process began in mid-2014 where the top 200 companies listed on Bursa Malaysia were assessed for their sustainability performance based on globally recognized standards that looks into indicators within the three main themes - environment, social and governance. Amongst the 200, only a total of 24 listed companies qualified to be included in the index. The growing interest by investors on the management of ESG in their portfolios are increasing, and companies that become members of the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index sends a clear message about the company's commitment to responsible business practices.
Recapping on the Prime Minister's announcement at Invest Malaysia 2014, Bursa Malaysia will partner with the Financial Times and the London Stock Exchange (FTSE) to derive and launch a Malaysian ESG index by the end of 2014. The introduction of the ESG index will encourage and support enhanced ESG disclosure and practices for the Malaysian capital market, thus, facilitating greater international investment influx. Companies included in the index will achieve visibility within the investment community for demonstrating good ESG practices and disclosure.
The ESG index will be included in the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Family and it will become an additional avenue for investors who are looking to invest in companies that are not only performing well financially but are also demonstrating good ESG practices and ESG disclosure.
The objectives of the index are to (as specified by Bursa):
- Support investors in making ESG investments in Malaysian
listed companies
- Increase profile and exposure for corporates with leading
ESG practices
- Encourage best practice disclosure
- Support the transition to a lower carbon and more
sustainable economy
- Further building and strengthening the FTSE Bursa Malaysia Index Family.
Malaysia Airports is very pleased with this recognition and inclusion into the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia Index. Well done to all who have put in their efforts and contributed towards achieving this milestone. Malaysia Airports will definitely continue to enhance its sustainable development efforts and review its sustainability performance in striving towards greater sustainability. Well done!

If God Wanted Us to Believe...
aboveandbeyond said: If God is God, then couldn't he create a 4.5 billion year old planet in six days? I'll do it in six seconds. #=Geo-what, status: planet, age: 4.5 billion years old.
Time it took to create: six seconds.
Yes, and if God wants us to believe in him then he could've made his creation so haphazard that we couldn't even begin to explain the origin of the species. The separate species could be so far apart and distinct from each other that there would be no fitting the pieces together like scientists have done.
In fact, the creation of the law of predation among all creatures on earth is absolutely horrible. Something has to die for another animal to eat. With the existence of several species of vegetarians and the fact that human beings themselves could be vegetarians, I see no reason for creating meat eaters at all. In fact, I see no reason why God created animals at all, since they have no eternal purpose and there are no moral lessons that animals must learn. To see more of what God could've done see what would convince me Christianity is true.

Eight unrelated and unlinked whistleblowers just told you how to choose your emergency room and hospital. Huh, you might say? Has Dr. Roizen flipped out? Yes and no. With the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Surgeon General's Report and this blog's focus on wellness, you probably thought you were more likely to read an update on the dangers (and how you can protect yourself) from second and thirdhand tobacco smoke, e-cigarettes, and marijuana than you were to read about why health care reform means you should be paid to stay healthy. Yes, maybe your health plan should also be paid to keep you healthy, but only if you get paid, too.
For-profit hospitals and health systems are thought to earn their "profit" by being more efficient. What the enlightening eight whistleblowers have clearly told us is that for-profits may make a lot of their profit, maybe all, by a fraud on your insurance carrier or the federal government – and on you. Yes, even worse than stealing, these eight separate whistleblower lawsuits show us that emergency rooms – that are part of for-profit hospitals – might be more dangerous to your health than smoking. You go to an ER to get well; these facilities should not increase your risk of death. But that, they say, is exactly what the fraud is. The good news: You can choose your own doctor, so this never has to happen to you.
[Read: How to Find the Right Doctor.]
On January 24, the New York Times – on its front page – highlighted the U.S. Department of Justice's investigation of, and joining, eight whistleblower suits in six states. These suits focus on several for-profit hospital chains, including Health Management Associates, HCA Holding and Community Health Systems. (Full disclosure: The not-for-profit system I work for has, as I understand it, a quality advisory relationship with Community.)
Some fraud, you might say. We've got to get rid of that, but that's for the feds to do – hope they succeed. It was a detailed column. By paragraph three, I had to force myself to read it. You might say (as I almost did), "Let me read about something that really concerns me." But what these enlightening eight are suing about does concern you, health care reform and how you choose what doctor and especially what hospital system you want your doctor associated with.
[Read: Search for a Top Doctor Near You.]
And in fact, you should take action now. If you choose a doctor or system that profits when you're admitted to the hospital (like HMA's ER apparently did, according to the whistleblowers), you might have a significantly greater chance of dying from that care. Being admitted to the hospital when you don't need to be is a real risk. We have bad bacteria, viruses and even some less-than-perfect care in our hospitals. So the benefit of hospitalization – getting better – should always be weighed by your doctors against the risk of a hospital-caused error, such as a drug mixup or aquiring an infection, or just decay in your health due to relative immobility, etc. These are serious and even life-threatening risks. In my opinion, the best way for any system to save money is to pay you a considerable percent of the large savings they would reap if you stayed healthy – in other words, if you didn't smoke and avoided all secondhand smoke.
The whistleblowers charge that benefit risk calculation of the ER doctors is overridden at almost all HMA and many other for-profit hospitals by a computer program their administrators use that pushed their ER doctors to admit 20 to 25 percent more people than necessary. Same goes for more than 50 percent of Medicare patients they see in their ERs. Why? For profit. They have empty beds and usually get paid by insurance companies or Medicare or Medicaid if those greedy for-profit administrators get you into a bed. And if you don't need to be there, you generally do not cost very much to care for, so the for-profit margin is even bigger – taking care of people who do not need care makes you look efficient.
[Read: How to Maximize a Doctor Visit.]
How widespread is this practice at for-profit hospitals? If you listen to the enlightening eight, it seems almost universal. You can only protect yourself by making sure your doctors (both primary care or specialty care, as well as those you see in the ER) are aligned with a not-for-profit hospital. To do that, just ask your doctor's office administrator what hospitals the doctor admits to or uses for ER services. Then look that hospital up on its website. Is it for-profit? If so, ask your doctor if she can admit to a not-for-profit, and tell her why you care. ("My life matters.") Since you get to choose your doctor, the whistleblowers would say to only choose one that admits principally to a not-for-profit. Is that possible with your health plan or the health plan choices your company or Medicare Advantage network offers? You have to ask, but it better be – talk to your HR reps. If it isn't this year, it will be next year. Your life may depend on it.
Now, does this mean you should chose a Kaiser-like "total capitated plan" – where you or the entity paying for your care pays one fee, and the Kaiser or Kaiser equivalent earns more money if you do not need care? Not so fast. I do not know if, like our democracy, our current system of medical care is the worst, compared to all others.
Next month, we'll discuss how to get the best doctor and care in a capitated system, and more. Until then, keep in mind the take-home tip that the enlightening eight whistleblowers are telling us: Make sure your doctor principally admits to a not-for-profit hospital.

It is generally stronger in flavor and contains more caffeine than more lightly oxidized teas. Black tea tends to preserve its flavor for several years unlike green tea and therefore blends and mixes well with various plants in order to obtain a variety of flavors.

Cisco NX-OS/IOS OSPF Comparison
From DocWiki
This tech note outlines the main differences in Open Shortest Path First Version 2 (OSPFv2) support between Cisco® NX-OS Software and Cisco IOS® Software. Sample configurations are included for Cisco NX-OS and Cisco IOS Software for some common features to demonstrate the similarities and differences. Please refer to the NX-OS documentation on Cisco.com for a complete list of supported features.
OSPF Overview
OSPFv2 is an IETF (RFC 2328) standards-based dynamic link-state routing protocol used to exchange network reachability within an autonomous system.
Important Cisco NX-OS and Cisco IOS Software Differences
In Cisco NX-OS:
- OSPF command-line interface (CLI) configuration and verification commands are not available until you enable the OSPF feature with the feature ospf command.
- The OSPF protocol requires the Enterprise Services license.
- The OSPF instance can consists of 20 characters, whereas the IOS supports numbers 1 – 65536.
- Eight equal-cost paths are supported by default. You can configure up to sixteen.
- The reference bandwidth used in the OSPF cost calculation is 40 Gbps.
- Networks and interfaces are added to an OSPF instance under the interface configuration mode.
- An OSPF area can be configured using decimal or decimal dotted notation, but it is always displayed in decimal dotted notation in the configuration and in the show command output.
- Passive interfaces are applied to the interface as opposed to under the OSPF instance.
- If a router ID is not manually configured, the loopback 0 IP address is always preferred. If loopback 0 does not exist, Cisco NX-OS selects the IP address for the first loopback interface in the configuration. If no loopback interfaces exist, Cisco NX-OS selects the IP address for the first physical interface in the configuration.
- Neighbor adjacency changes are not logged by default. The log-adjacency-changes CLI command is required under the OSPF instance.
- When interface authentication is configured, the OSPF key is encrypted with Data Encryption Standard 3 (3DES) in the configuration. Cisco IOS Software requires the service password command.
- When you rollover an OSPF authentication key in a combined Cisco NX-OS/Cisco IOS network, you should configure both keys on the Cisco NX-OS router to ensure that there is sufficient overlap between the old key and the new key for a smooth transition to the new key. You should configure the new key as a valid accept key on all the NX-OS and IOS routers before the new key becomes a valid generation key in the keychain. During the overlap period, Cisco NX-OS transmits the new OSPF key and accepts OSPF authenticated packets from both the old key and the new key.
- The NX-OS does not support distribute-lists used to remove OSPF routes from the routing table. The NX-OS does support inter-area LSA/route filtering using the filter-list command configured under the OSPF routing instance.
Things You Should Know
The following list provides some additional facts about Cisco NX-OS that should be helpful when designing, configuring, and maintaining an OSPF network.
- Four OSPF instances can be configured per virtual device context (VDC).
- Numerous Virtual Route Forwarding (VRF) instances can be associated with an OSPF instance.
- If you remove the feature ospf command, all relevant OSPF configuration information is also removed.
- The shutdown command under the OSPF process can be used to disable OSPF while retaining the configuration. Similar functionality can also be applied per interface with the ip ospf shutdown command.
- The show running-config ospf command displays the current OSPF configuration.
- An OSPF instance can be restarted with the restart ospf <instance #> command.
- Graceful Restart (RFC 3623) is enabled by default.
- OSPF is the only layer 3 routing protocol that supports stateful process restart.
- You cannot configure multiple OSPF instances on the same interface.
- An interface can support multi-area adjacencies using the multi-area option with the router ospf interface command.
- Secondary IP addresses are advertised by default, but can be suppressed per interface.
Configuration Comparison
The following sample code shows configuration similarities and differences between the Cisco NX-OS and Cisco IOS Software CLIs. There are two significant differences: Cisco NX-OS allows OSPF to be enabled and disabled globally, and it has a more interface-centric configuration that makes it easier to read.

Michael Franti & Spearhead Quote Sheet
BILLBOARD: "A groove-heavy and often joyous affair shot through with the dub and reggae-club sounds of its Jamaican birthplace."
URB: "Franti is an artist the size of a forest, his music is merely one tree and All Rebel Rockers is one spiffy branch."
BOSTON GLOBE: "With the often exhilarating new record, Franti offers a set of elastic, expansive grooves that combine humane social concern and messages of love with pure thump."
GQ: "The Afro-American musician and poet is back stronger than ever, with his Spearhead: All Rebel Rockers, a mix of reggae, dub and rock, has been recorded in Kingston, Jamaica. And you can feel it!"
ROCKERILLA ITALY: "...a really a good work. Play it loud in order to better catch the mellow homogeneity of such a great sound" (score 8on10)
XL: "He wants to see you dance!" (score 4on5)
BLOW UP: "...it's the confirmation we were waiting for: our man is aging very well" (score 7on9)
SF GUARDIAN: "At the end of the day, I can't deliver higher praise."
THE INDEPENDENT UK: "All Rebel Rockers is surely an all-time high. It's a perfect marriage of artist, attitude, style..."
"Music is the thread that's gone through my life and given it so much meaning" -Michael Franti
Michael Franti is a very big man who has always dared to say very big things through his joyous and passionate music during an unusually diverse and highly impressive career.
Yet for all the wide-ranging, yet consistent excellence of his body of work, what's most impressive about Michael Franti as a recording artist and live performer is his ability to inspire. Ultimately, the heartfelt music that Franti makes and his dedication to greater understanding on a global level, are not two aspects of his life, but very much one and the same.
The Bay Area born Franti has been bringing our world exceptionally powerful, deeply felt music under a variety of names and in a wide range of genres for twenty years. From the intense punk rock of the Beatnigs, to the deeply political rap he made with the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy to his joyful and meaningful modern soul music with Spearhead, and now as Michael Franti & Spearhead, this still young man has released an impressive series of recordings that have vividly reflected his status as a musical citizen of this world.
Consider Franti's most recent musical masterpiece, All Rebel Rockers, an album featuring the legendary production team of Sly & Robbie that reinforces his place as a global force and a true musician of his time. Recently, Franti's latest release entered the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart in the Top 40 and hit #4 on the Top Independent Album Chart, and further demonstrated that Franti remains very much at the height of his artistic powers.
"As a musician and a man, I more than anything else want to be a unifier," Franti explains. "I want to bring people together through music and its unique power. And I hope that somehow that sense of unity extends beyond the music."
To see Michael Franti play for people anywhere in the world is to realize that music is the driving force in his creative world. "Above almost any thing else on earth, I love songs," he explains. "I love songwriting myself, but in listening to the songs of others, I've learned that a great song is an incredibly powerful thing. I really believe that music can bring people together because I've seen it. To me, music is much more than the way I happen to make my living. It's the thread that's gone through my life and given it so much meaning.
Franti's own performances today are marked by a genuine openheartedness, a commitment to communication and a greater sense of community. "The people who come to see us seem to love the experience of the party as well as the message and the music," he says. "Increasingly over my life, I have less interest in being part of the fighting between parties. I'm interested in bringing people together on the left and the right, to face the issues of the day. The problems from global warming to the economy that we face today are so clearly universal that we need to address them together."

I have wondered this a half dozen times. Do you think any of the players read the posts here? If so do think what we say matters to them at all?
Then I wonder if anyone here might actually be a Seahawk posting incognito and we don't even know it. Obviously they could never reveal that... But hey if any of you want to PM me to clue me in, I'll keep it a secret I promise!!
Just something to think about, I'd be surprised if they aren't at least aware of us here and we already know a lot of them are all over twitter.

Michelle Hoke and her family will attend the Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert in Norman today, but the local family personally met one of the singers — country star Ronnie Dunn — when he spent the Fourth of July with Steelman Estates area families who lost their homes to the May 19 tornado.
Michelle Hoke and her family will attend the Oklahoma Twister Relief Concert in Norman today, but the local family personally met one of the singers — country star Ronnie Dunn — when he spent the Fourth of July with Steelman Estates area families who lost their homes to the May 19 tornado.
"He was a nice guy — down to earth," Hoke said about Dunn's visit to Shawnee, adding it was nice of him and his family to stop by.
Dunn will join other performers, including Toby Keith, Garth Brooks, Trisha Yearwood, Willie Nelson and others, who are performing in the concert benefiting United Way's fund to aid victims of the May storms.
Hoke said she, her husband James, daughter Cassie, son J.W., and their puppy, Lucy, visited with Dunn about that Sunday evening in May.
While the children weren't quite sure about knowing Dunn from his music, even from his former days with the duo Brooks and Dunn, she did.
"I've always been a country music girl," she said.
During the visit, J.W., who has a new bicycle now, showed Dunn the damage the tornado did to his bike, then gave Dunn a gift — a frog.
"There's baby frogs jumping around and he's been offering them to people," his mother said with a laugh.
Dunn, apparently touched by the frog gesture, included that part of his of visit on his Facebook Page, along with many other comments and photographs from his day in the Shawnee/Bethel Acres area.
The family talked to Dunn about riding out — and surviving — the storm in their cellar on May 19.
"We were in the eye of the storm," Hoke said, with their home located on the north end of the addition.
They and so many others affected in Steelman Estates are still working to start over after losing so much.
And while there's been an outpouring of visits and assistance from volunteers from near and far, on the Fourth of July, the visit from Dunn was a welcome diversion from the day-to-day realities of the storm-damaged area.
"He wants to spread the word that we're still needing help," she said.
The Hoke family, who plan to rebuild, are now residing in a rent house in Shawnee, but many in Steelman Estates continue to live there — some in tents provided by ShelterBox and a few in RV's or mobile homes that have been donated.
On his Facebook page, Dunn wrote about the May 19 storm destroying 85 homes and killing two in this area on May 19, a day before tornadoes devastated Moore. He also wrote that he was both shocked and impressed that a coalition group of independent bikers were out in Steelman Estates cooking daily meals in tents for the survivors. He wrote about there being Boy Scouts, church volunteers and others at the scene to give the people of Steelman Estates a helping hand.
District 2 Pottawatomie County Commissioner Randy Thomas, who was there for the visit and said Dunn and his family were humbled, said Dunn "just fit in," with everyone who has provided help and encouragement for those affected by the tornadoes.

As anyone who has visited here knows, Oz is a "bloody big place," so time is of the essence when visiting.
And, to be perfectly frank about it, for far too long just getting "Down Under" was the literal and proverbial pain in the butt because there was no direct flying link, and that brought travellers into the loving embrace of U.S. immigration, usually at Honolulu -- a stopover that took tedious hours wading through.
That has all changed.
The distance between Canada and Australia hasn't changed, but what has is both aviation technology and Air Canada's relatively new direct service from Vancouver.
The national carrier often comes in for "stick," as they say down here, some deserved, some not. But this new daily service is a little beauty for travellers, especially those with limited sightseeing time on their hands.
The 15-hour direct flying time is long, but it not only shaves more than three hours off the old routing but the Boeing 777 is a comfortable flying beast. A major advance is that in "cattle class" -- economy -- there is good leg space that comes accompanied by all the other trinkets of modern travel, such as your own in-flight entertainment centre that really does work with a touch of the finger.
The biggest bonus for travellers wanting to hit Bondi Beach, the Great Ocean Road in Victoria or the dreamy Hunter Valley wine district with a full and well-rested head of steam is the flying schedule.
Outward bound departs Vancouver at 23:45 and has you into Sydney at 09:50 two days later. Don't panic. You get back the lost day coming home and there is precious little jet lag as you get to sleep the night away just as if you were in your own bed.
So now you are here. What to do?
For starters, nose around Sydney. While it might appear to be a giant mushroom spreading in all directions, the sights, sounds and tastes of Australia's urban heart is easy to access.
Navigating downtown is relatively painless with the famed "coat hanger," Sydney Harbour Bridge along with the spectacular Sydney Opera House two immediate "compass points."
And what better place to start than the iconic bridge? Get the real bridge experience by walking across its arches. It's an exciting blast to trundle over to the top of the bridge.
If heights bother you, just stroll around and soak up the atmosphere of touristy Darling Harbour, the Opera House, hop a ferry at Circular Quay for a day at Manley Beach with its array of beach-front restaurants, or wander through the botanical park to experience the culinary treat of Harry's Café de Wheels in Woolloomooloo.
Harry's wide variety of meat pies dispensed from a colourful, but now wheeless pie cart, is the best food value you will find in the city.
The famed Bondi Beach, an international magnet for the world's youth and others with an eye for the body beautiful, is a must visit. It's an easy bus ride away and again full of trendy restaurants. A favourite of my mates and me is to start at the Bondi Baths and then enjoy an invigorating coast walk to nearby Bronte. Along the way are simply spectacular vistas of the Tasman Sea and rugged coastline.
The route is undulating, often hot and a hat is recommended. Our mor-ning safari includes a refreshing coffee pause at Bronte and then it's back to the baths for a swim and steam bath. Total distance, three kilometres.
With the exercise done, head upstairs to Iceberg's Dining Room and Bar overlooking the iconic saltwater pool with the beach stretching beyond. It gets its name from the curious habit the swim club has of opening the season in early winter by dumping a tonne of ice in and then taking the plunge -- a sort of Oz lukewarm polar-bear swim.
Don't miss the fish and chips here and a refreshing sip of the amber fluid. As with many restaurants and clubs in Australia, you have to sign in at the front door. Something to do with liquor regulations. Don't ask, just sign in!
But Sydney isn't Australia and the problem most visitors have is how to get the most out of their stay.
If time is limited a couple of suggestions: The Aussies pump out a lot of wonderful wines these days and you can literally get the real taste just a couple of hours easy drive from Sydney in the bucolic Hunter Valley, one of the country's oldest and best known wine-growing regions.
Driving to the Hunter is easy and the route takes you by some of the country's darker history and interesting pubs that are worth a stop. The original road into the valley was hacked out of tough terrain by convicts who had been transported under dreadful conditions from the "old country."
If the sea journey didn't get them carving the road into the Hunter surely must have done for more of them. The convicts actually made the riches of the Hunter possible because they found water, Australia's enduring challenge, in reasonable quantities in Wollombi. So a tip of the glass to them!
The Lower Hunter Valley, with its gentle slopes and the winding Hunter River, ultimately unveiled the true richness of the region that today attracts 2.6 million visitors a year. There are now in excess of 100 vineyards and wineries that throw open their doors and hospitality around the clock.
There is an excellent choice of hotels, motels, chalets, guesthouses, and cabins catering to those who wish to unwind and experience the bucolic delights of the region.
The choice of accommodation can be a bit overwhelming and the best place to start, if you haven't booked ahead, is at the Hunter Valley Wine Country Visitors Information Centre at Pokobiln. This well-organized centre has all the information one needs.
With a roof over your head the fun really begins -- coming to grips with the abundant and varied nectars of the Hunter. Plan your tasting day and head to the vineyards of your choice and always, repeat always, bring a picnic.
The other great journey within easy reach that encapsulates a lot of Australia's natural grandeur is a "roadie" to the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.
If you can handle driving on the left -- really it is not hard -- head south from Sydney. The roads are excellent and very well sign-posted.
The Great Ocean Road embraces the contours of Victoria's rugged southwest coast and has to rate as one of the country's most spectacular coastal drives. The 257-km road was built in the 1930s as a memorial to Australia's First World War servicemen. This endlessly fascinating region stretches west from the regional city of Geelong and the Bellarine Peninsula to the South Australian border. Within these parameters one is treated to a virtual smorgasbord of ocean views.
From Torquay to Nelson, almost 300 km to the west, the road snakes past cliffs, scenic lookouts, waterfalls, rainforests and sunken ships.
It also offers an array of bushwalking, swimming, surfing, fishing and whale-watching opportunities.
Perhaps the most visited portion of the road is Port Campbell National Park, home to significant areas of native bushland and fauna. The sea and land are one here and towns such as Port Fairy and Portland offer fishing wharves, old pubs and preserved colonial buildings.
Marine history buffs can fill their boots with knowledge from the many museums in the region. It is easy to comprehend why the surfing set regard it as the Mecca of the widely popular sport. Torquay is acclaimed as Oz's surfing capital and Easter sees Bells Beach playing host to a world professional-tour event that brings in the best boarders in the world.
But the sight all want to see are the Twelve Apostles, amazing natural limestone finger, or stack, formations that rise from the sea and are known as the jewels of the road. Unfortunately, there are no longer 12 apostles, as they keeping falling to the ravages of the sea that batters their roots.
Who knows how long they will continue to stand? Another one collapsed in 2005 to leave just eight standing.
The irony is that they were originally formed by erosion and came with the less dignified name of the Sow and Piglets. They were given their biblical status in the 1950s to bring in the tourists. Mission accomplished on that score.
So what about the outback, the "Alice," as in Springs, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Western Australia, the far north, Queensland, the Gold Coast?
She'll be right, mate. There's always next year. After all, it's only 15 hours away!

Next up: Pension reform and infrastructurePa. lawmakers expect to take aim at big-ticket items in 2013-14
Legislative sessions rarely are short on big policy issues and priority lists for those items.
The 2011-12 voting session, which has been in the books since mid-October, was no exception coming off a change in administration.
And while Republican Gov. Tom Corbett and the GOP-controlled General Assembly were able to clear the decks on several legislative fronts, there were missed opportunities and issues labeled as priorities that barely moved past political grandstanding (see "Cashed in, missed out," page 9).
The two biggest items left on the majority party's list heading into 2013-14 are public-employee pension reform and transportation infrastructure funding.
Both topics, which are heavy on cost, drew plenty of debate and a variety of proposals before falling to the wayside as the current session focused heavily on delivering on-time budgets and reining in state spending.
Pension reform
"The pension crisis is going to have to be dealt with right away," said Matt Brouillette, president and CEO of the right-leaning Commonwealth Foundation. "The increases that are projected to go up will be miniscule compared to the reality of the increases."
The unfunded liabilities are upward of $41 billion for the Public School Employees' Retirement System and the State Employees' Retirement System. Lawmakers have been looking at private-sector ideas — a move to a 401(k)-style system — to address incoming employees.
Meanwhile, pension obligations are growing, and they will eat up a larger chunk of the state budget.
Transportation funding
On transportation, several measures were introduced in the 2011-12 session that mirrored many of the recommendations in the 2011 report issued by Corbett's Transportation Funding Advisory Commission.
The commission outlined several proposals that would add about $2.5 billion for infrastructure over a five-year period. That plan included uncapping the gas and oil company franchise tax, increasing fees, moving the state police budget over to the general fund and modernizing programs at the state Department of Transportation.
A 2010 study by the Pennsylvania State Transportation Advisory Committee said the commonwealth's unmet need for transportation funding is about $3.5 billion annually.
"My No. 1 priority is funding for transportation infrastructure," said Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi. "We have studied the issue to death. It's time for us to take some action."
A legislative package was sidelined until there was an agreement with the governor and the House, Pileggi said. That didn't materialize before the end of the session.
Moving forward, the Senate will take the lead and advance a package that it hopes everyone can support, the senator said.
"It will come from user fees and taxes on fuel. There is no escaping that reality," he said. "That should not surprise anyone. The most recent study is similar to past studies. We have the same funding options and the same level of need."
There is broad support, including support from the business community, on many of the commission's recommendations, said Sharon Ward, director of the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center, a project of the liberal-leaning Keystone Research Center.
"The business community has to make the case that not making the improvements is hurting our economy," Ward said.
Smaller majority
Given the tighter majority in the Senate — the election led to three new Democratic seats and a 27-23 Republican margin — Pileggi said it will take more effort to find a consensus on issues such as pension reform.
"We must do something," he said. "The more difficult challenge is do we attempt to maintain the existing system or do what the private sector has done with defined contributions."
On the flip side, the Keystone Research Center argues that the unfunded liability can be dealt with over a long period of time under the current system and that energy can be better spent on other issues.
"It gives you an excuse to say you can't do any investments," said Stephen Herzenberg, the center's executive director, who argued that time should be spent more on tax reforms that increase the fairness of the system.
Pileggi said he is aiming to tackle transportation and pension reform right out of the gate next session.
"If we're able to accomplish our goals on transportation and pension reform, that alone will be a wildly successful first half of 2013," he said.
Solving the infrastructure issue is going to take the same kind of leadership the administration showed on its spending approach over the last two years, Herzenberg said.
Budget and other items
Of course, there also will be another budget cycle to tackle, along with topics that pick up steam and then fade away, such as charter school reform and liquor store privatization.
"Looming as huge issues are infrastructure and pensions," said G. Terry Madonna, a political pollster and pundit with Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster. "The others … charters, school choice and selling the liquor stores … we've survived without them. They are not urgent."
Not tackling the big-ticket items creates enormous problems for the state, Madonna said. However, Corbett has taken a no-tax pledge.
"The bottom line is that if you're creative about it, you can find the revenue to invest in the future," Herzenberg said. "That actually begins to solve pensions. It's a revenue issue."
If the state's economy were growing more rapidly, revenue recovering more quickly and adequate contributions being made to the pension system, that wouldn't prevent the state from restoring education funding and making other investments, he said.
"I think some things can be leveraged against one another," Brouillette said. "Liquor is an opportunity for the state to realize significant revenue upfront."
Those funds could then be utilized to help offset pension costs and could begin to help address transportation needs, he said.
"I don't think the general public fully understands the magnitude of these problems," he said. "And they probably won't until we see tax increases going up for schools or a major (infrastructure) tragedy."
The state also is dealing with health insurance exchanges and Medicaid expansion, as well as other issues related to the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Cashed in, missed out
Two years is a long time to get things done in the General Assembly. And lawmakers did get a lot accomplished during the 2011-12 legislative session.
Here is a brief summary:
On-time budgets: The 2011 and 2012 budgets were passed with no new taxes or increases. They also continued the phase-out of the capital stock and franchise tax; the latter expanded the state's Education Improvement Tax Credit program to $100 million. As part of the 2011 budget, the governor signed a bill requiring voter approval if school districts intend to seek property tax increases above the rate of inflation.
Unemployment compensation reforms in 2011 and 2012: The former extended benefits and permitted an additional 90,000 to qualify. The reform also required people receiving unemployment benefits to show they were looking for jobs and maintained a $573 freeze on the maximum weekly unemployment compensation benefit. The 2012 reform authorized a bond sale to pay back the state's federal debt. It also curtailed benefit eligibility.
Fair Share Act: Curbed lawsuit abuse. The act made it so defendants with less than 60 percent of liability in a case would not be required to pay for the whole award if other parties could not afford to pay.
Workers' compensation: Act 20 of 2011 allowed workers' compensation insurers to provide sole proprietors, partners in partnerships and members of limited liability companies with coverage.
Marcellus Shale impact fee and regulatory changes: A law signed in February gave municipalities in the shale gas region the ability to impose fees on drillers and increased environmental standards on the industry, including an increased well-setback distance.
P3s: Act 88 of 2012 provided for public-private partnerships, or P3s, to help fund transportation infrastructure projects. The legislation gives Pennsylvania the ability to lease large-scale transportation assets to the private sector in order to expedite improvement projects that cannot be funded solely through public dollars. The private entity would generate a return through user fees or tolling.
B-Corps: At the end of the session, the governor signed a bill that would allow companies to charter themselves as benefit corporations. B-Corps are for-profit companies that have chosen to make a set of values equal in importance to the overall profitability of the company.
For a more complete list, visit the website of the state House Republican Caucus.
Missed opportunities
The biggest missed opportunity during the past two years was a focused effort to grow the state's economy, said Stephen Herzenberg, executive director of the Keystone Research Center.
He characterized the 2011-12 legislative session as one where ideology trumped pragmatism.
"We got a fairly single-minded focus on cutting state spending," Herzenberg said. "I can applaud the governor's consistency to a particular political philosophy, but it actually took the state's economy in the wrong direction."
Reforming the state's tax system, including tax loopholes, should be a major focus, he said.
The Commonwealth Foundation's Matt Brouillette listed liquor store privatization, charter school reform and prevailing wage reform as major missed opportunities.
"I hope they will be addressed in this next legislative session," said Brouillette, the foundation's president and CEO.
Policymakers also have not been able to address the reduction of the state's corporate net income tax, which is 9.9 percent.

- Wildlife officials: 2 reports this week of coyotes menacing Boulder Creek Path users
While many folks using the Boulder Creek Path have been dodging or even fleeing aggressive coyotes, someone has possibly been testing their hankering for mild or hot salsa, black or pinto beans.
It's not clear whether the spread came from Illegal Pete's, Chipotle or elsewhere, but a pile of what appeared to be about 10 burritos recently was found in the immediate area where city and state wildlife officials are trying to solve a pattern of bad coyote behavior.
Additional items of restaurant food, such as possible fruit, salad and bread, also were left where many recent coyote sightings have been made. And while city spokeswoman Jody Jacobson said that the "messy" main entrée appeared most likely to be burritos, she conceded that it could have been manicotti or crepes.
It was unclear how much of the food, if any, was enjoyed by the animals before it was discovered and removed.
That incident has prompted the city of Boulder to deploy five new sandwich-board signs along the bike path between 30th and 55th streets making the message clear: "You are in coyote country," the signs read. "It is illegal to feed wildlife."
"In supplying coyotes with a food source or feeding coyotes, you're supplying them with a reason to be more comfortable with humans," said Val Matheson, the city's urban wildlife conservation coordinator.
When feeding of wildlife such as coyotes occurs, Matheson said, "They continue to be more and more comfortable around people, and that seems to lead to their expectation of people as being a supplier of food. And so they will then approach people looking for food, and we have seen in other areas that that's when people get bit."
She was echoed by Jennifer Churchill, spokeswoman for Colorado Parks and Wildlife.
"That would be absolutely inappropriate," Churchill said of the burrito feed, which was discovered Jan. 24. "It's setting those coyotes up for failure. People need to understand that you are not helping wildlife. When you're feeding them, you're taking away their healthy and natural fear of people. You're just leaving everybody in jeopardy who uses that area, including the coyotes."
Illegal in Boulder
Feeding wildlife in Boulder is actually a violation of a city ordinance, which states, "No person shall feed any wild animal. For the purposes of this subsection, to feed shall mean all provision of edible or drinkable material, including, without limitation, bones, salt licks and water."
The maximum penalty for a first or second conviction within two years is a $500 fine. Squirrels and birds are exempted. Feeding wild animals, with similar exceptions, is also in violation of state wildlife regulations, Churchill said.
The city on Jan. 18 launched a focused program of hazing coyotes -- combined with stepped-up public education -- in the areas where people have been plagued by a series of confrontations, including one biting, since late December.
Another episode occurred early on the afternoon of Jan. 21 -- the ninth in roughly a one-month period.
In that case, a jogger headed eastbound on the Boulder Creek Path near its junction with the Goose Creek Greenway reported that a coyote ran at her from behind, coming as close as two feet, before a cyclist approaching from the opposite direction apparently caused the animal to break off and head into the brush.
Incidents tailing off
Matheson said that the frequency of incidents involving aggressive coyotes has been tailing off in recent weeks. The reasons for that are not certain.
"We have had a lot of presence on the trail, just about all day, since the hazing started," Matheson said. "There's also the factor that, last year, the pattern of conflicts and people that we saw ended in mid-February. I don't know if we're coming out of the season that triggers this behavior in coyotes, or if it's the presence of the hazers daily."

(part 1)
Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set.
Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible.
Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s].
Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered.
1974 Topps DECKLE EDGEThis 72-card test issue set was released with a very limited distribution on only the East Coast around Massachusetts making them quite scarce. They were Officially simply called "Topps Baseball Photos" but their serrated or "DECKLED" edge gave them the name they go by today. The 2 7/8" x 5" inch cards were sold in either a 2 card pack with gum or a 3 card pack with no gum for 5 cents.
The cards were meant to have the look of the black and white movie star photos from the 1950's and feature a black & white photo with a blue facsimilie autograph on the front. The backs make this very scarce test issue even more interesting ! They feature handwritten script of the player's name, team, position & date and location of the photograph as well as a mock newspaper article on the player's career.
This was Topps 2nd "Deckle Edge" issue, their first being their smaller and much more common 1969 Topps Deckle Edge which were inserts in certain series of packs of 1969 Topps cards.
Variations of 1974 Topps Deckle Edge do exist, making this issue even more fun and challenging to collect. The backs can be found in either gray or a much scarcer white version. Also, a more limited proof version with non-scalloped edges exists and occasionally can be found.

1962 Topps Baseball BucksAnother Hit Topps Test Issue from the 1960's !!!
The 1962 Topps Bucks were one of Topps most creative Test Issues. Each "Buck" resembled U.S. currency and measured 1 3/4" x 4 1/8" but instead of George Washington staring at you, it could be Mickey Mantle !!! A drawing of the player's home park along with a brief write-up also appeared on the front. The backs included team and league logos.
The 1962 Topps Bucks test issue was sold in it's own 1 cent wax packs and was not an insert in 1962 Topps wax packs. Most examples exist with a fold line but it should not be overly noticeable. Player selection was great as the set is packed with numerous Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Sandy Koufax, Roberto Clemente, Carl Yastrzemski, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Brooks Robinson, Don Drysdale, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron and more !!!

North Carolina ousts Tigers from CWS with 4-2 win
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Brian Holberton homered, freshman Trent Thornton pitched a strong seven innings and No. 1 national seed North Carolina extended its stay at the College World Series with a 4-2 victory over LSU on Tuesday.
The Tar Heels (58-11) play North Carolina State or UCLA in an elimination game Thursday. The No. 4-seeded Tigers (57-11) went 0-2 in their first CWS appearance since winning the 2009 national title.
Holberton's 12th homer of the season staked the Tar Heels to a 2-0 lead in the first inning against LSU starter Cody Glenn (7-3), and Colin Moran singled to make it 3-0 in the third.
Thornton (12-1) worked around two singles and three walks to hold the Tigers scoreless until the fifth. Leading 4-2, Thornton walked Christian Ibarra to start the eighth and was relieved by Chris McCue.
McCue hit Sean McMullen in the arm with 2-2 pitch to load the bases with two out. That brought up Mark Laird, who had a double and four singles in his first eight CWS at-bats. But McCue got Laird to fly out to short left field and keep it a two-run game.
McCue worked a perfect ninth for his second save.
Carolina, which lost 8-1 to North Carolina State in its CWS opener, remains the only team in the country to not lose back-to-back games this season. The Tar Heels are outscoring opponents 85-30 after losses, and their 58 wins are a school record.
LSU scored only three runs in two CWS games. National freshman of the year Alex Bregman, who was batting a team-leading .374, was hitless in eight at-bats. Raph Rhymes, batting .337, was 0 for 9 in Omaha and stranded eight base runners against the Tar Heels. Christian Ibarra, batting .311, finished the season hitless in his last 22 at-bats.
Thornton, who has served in every capacity on the Carolina pitching staff, was making sixth start in 29 appearances but first since March 27.
He got the call over available weekend starters Hobbs Johnson and Benton Moss, both of whom have struggled of late. Thornton came in as the Tar Heels' best pitcher in the postseason, having allowed two runs in 21 1-3 innings.
Thornton threw a career-high 114 pitches in his seven-plus innings, allowing two runs on nine hits and four walks.
Glenn, making first appearance since starting the opening game of the SEC tournament May 22, last just two innings. He allowed three runs on five hits.
The teams were meeting for the first time since the 2008 CWS, when Carolina beat the Tigers twice.

Having originated in Asia, the olive tree is simplistic in structure, resistant to disease, and long-lived. It requires little maintenance without the need for specialized care. Although the tree is self-propagating, the branches are often trimmed seasonally to encourage healthy growth. The olive tree produces olives, which can be eaten or used to make oil.
Olive oil is made by grinding pitted olives until they form a thick mixture of pulp. Next, the pulp is pressed until all of its juice has been extracted. The juice is placed into a centrifuge which separates the oil from any water in the liquid mixture. Olive oil can be yellow or green in color, and oil with a greenish hue is thought to be richer in quality. When stored properly, olive oil can last as long as two years. Extra virgin olive oil is made from freshly harvested olives, so it offers the best flavor. In addition, it does not contain harsh chemicals.Olive oil is readily consumed in many countries, particularly in Spain, Italy, and Greece. It contains monounsaturated fats, which are easily digested by humans and help to keep the digestive tract in good working order while also protecting it from harm. This type of fat also creates a beneficial effect on blood cholesterol levels.The olive tree is associated with a great deal of symbolic power and has been referred to by a variety of names in different cultures. In the story of Noah's Ark as told in the Old Testament, a dove brings an olive branch to the Ark, signaling an end to the flood. The olive branch restored hope to the people and the Olive tree is seen as the tree of hope. Many ancient cultures believed that the gods gifted the Olive tree to mortals as a tree of wisdom. In ancient Greek mythology, Irene (Eirene), the goddess of peace held an olive branch at all times. Thus, the olive tree was called the tree of peace. Ancient Greek wisdom also held that the olive tree is the tree of fertility since its fruit offers the antidote to sterility. Olive oil was viewed as an aphrodisiac.
In some cultures, olive oil was used to light lamps and so it was called the tree of light. The olive tree has been called the tree of health due to the benefits it provides for a heart-healthy lifestyle. Families with a long tradition cultivating olive trees for their products, it is considered to be the tree of wealth. The Celts thought of the olive tree as the tree of balance, associating it with the twenty-third day of September, which had an equal number of hours during the day and night.
Olive oil has become a popular ingredient in skincare and beauty formulas. As a natural ingredient, it is pure, mild, and similar to lipids found naturally in the skin. Therefore, it is not harsh or irritating. Olive oil has been used in many formulations to induce moisturizing benefits for more than four thousand years. Its use began during the time of the Minoan culture and continued throughout the eras of the ancient Greeks, Egyptians, and Romans.
The skin readily absorbs olive oil, which works to balance both oily and dry areas of the skin. A gentle substance, olive oil is suitable for all skin types, including those plagued with psoriasis, eczema, irritation, and dryness. It has been used with some positive results to help prevent stretch marks during pregnancy. Although olive oil has been used to help relieve the discomfort of diaper rash and cradle cap, you should consult with a pediatrician first for approval.
Olive oil contains squalene and vitamin E in high quantities, two ingredients known to benefit the wound-healing process. Additionally, vitamin E is an excellent antioxidant that is commonly used in anti-aging formulas. Squalene, a substance found naturally in the skin's production of sebum, delivers exceptional hydrating capabilities and regulates sebum production.Olive oil is readily absorbed by the human skin, penetrating deep into the layers of skin tissues. It helps to protect against the damage free radicals create, while also keeping the skin supple and smooth as it fights off early signs of the aging process. While it cannot take the place of sun-protection formulas, Olive oil does safeguard the skin somewhat from the harshness of the sun's UVA/UVB rays.

Nebraska Athletic Department officials announced Friday afternoon that all public season tickets for the 2013-14 men's basketball season at Pinnacle Bank Arena have been accounted for by fans who have placed deposits for the upcoming season. A waitlist has now started at Huskers.com/Arena in the event tickets become available at a later date.
"First of all, it is a tribute to the greatest fans in college athletics," Executive Associate Athletic Director Marc Boehm said. "Secondly, it also shows the enthusiasm that fans around the state have for Husker basketball. We want to thank Coach Miles for the hard work that he and his staff have done over the past 13 months, as well as the commitment of our athletic staff in helping us to make today's announcement possible."
Friday's announcement marks the first time in program history that Nebraska basketball has pre-sold its entire public seating for the season. Pinnacle Bank Arena, when it is completed on Aug. 14, will seat approximately 15,147 fans for basketball. The $179 million dollar arena is the centerpiece of the West Haymarket Development project, which will include hotels, restaurants, parking and shopping located blocks from the University of Nebraska campus.
General public ticket sales have increased nearly 95 percent from the 2012-13 season while student tickets are already up 30 percent from the last season at the 13,595-seat Bob Devaney Sports Center. As of this afternoon, the only tickets remaining are approximately 100 student seats in an expanded 1,650-seat student section, which includes approximately 1,000 lower bowl seats.

The sad fact about air conditioning cleaning is that most owners are unaware this type of service exists combined with the disappointing reality that very few air conditioning companies offer or even recognize this important service. Ever increasing electricity costs and rising awareness of health issues caused by the air we breath have culminated in the importance of assessing the health, efficiency and effectiveness of your air conditioning unit. Improve the efficiency of your air conditioner up to 50% and save up to 30% on your air conditioner electricity usage combined with peace of mind knowing that you, your family, staff or customers are not affected by bacteria and mold growth in your air conditioner.
Air conditioning cleaning is not the same as air conditioning servicing, in fact air conditioning cleaning is a much more comprehensive and detailed process of rejuvenating your air conditioner and prolonging it's life cycle. Air conditioning cleaning is even more important than general home cleaning or spring cleaning because there is no other appliance in your home or office that breeds nasty "BLACK MOLD" in such a way that air conditioning units do. It is advisable that your air conditioner be cleaned at least once a year to retain healthy, effective operation.

I find people are often in a rut with their food choices. It is almost as if the only foods they know about are the foods they typically eat.
I find people are often in a rut with their food choices. It is almost as if the only foods they know about are the foods they typically eat.
Although it is awkward to change any routine, it can be done. It would be easier with the right mindset. For example, just think about the fun that could be had in discovering a new favorite food that you would otherwise never come to experience. Consider the importance of eating a wider variety of foods for the sake of interest if your appetite is dwindling. Perhaps you just need to focus on the fact that not all foods deliver the same nutrients, and to eat a variety of foods would help ensure that you are eating a variety of nutrients.
Now, once upon a time, I knew someone who ate a variety of foods - it was a variety of cookies. And that is not what I mean. I mean, try a new food once a week or once a month. Try jicama. Add goat cheese to a salad. Make a smoothie with kefir. Kale chips - taste kale chips! For those with a tightly locked comfort zone: Use steel cut oats in place of quick rolled oats. (It's a start.)
Got kids? Sometimes that is the perfect excuse to have new foods to pull off a themed dinner night. New family favorites can be a bit surprising. What is snubbed can be surprising. We usually develop some fun memories regardless. One of our children went through a phase of desiring to drink from a pitcher. I called that a bit medieval, and from that was developed medieval night where we all have turkey legs, corn on the cob, and kale chips - eating with our hands! It seems the fun of eating it trumps the taste in a kids's world. Building the best topped potato EVER, or creating the perfect combination of flavors on special bread for the sandwich everyone envies leading up to the climatic first bite - kids love these moments. And as the meal planner/preparer, it serves as a creative outlet and a challenge to keep things interesting for me.
We have to eat so we may as well make it fun and interesting with variety. Life is just to short to stay in a rut...another life lesson to be learned for kids.
Any anti-food rut ideas you would like to share?

A recipe for cranberry bread and tips for making cranberry sauce
Cranberry Bread
This is another great recipe. It was designed for people who are enduring chemotherapy and simply can't retain food. For some reason it tends to soothe the stomach and provide necessary nourishment. I found this recipe printed in a news letter aimed at AIDs patients in Hawaii.
Yield 12 ½ inch slices
Prep time: 15 minutes
1 ¾ cup white flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
¾ cup unsweetened applesauce
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cranberries
Preheat to 350
Mix ingredients, and then fold in cranberries.
Bake at 350 for about 35 minutes, till done. This is when you need to use the old toothpick trick
I use two bread pans, 7 ¼ X 3 ¾ . You can also use a 9 X 5 bread pan and get larger pieces of bread, but only one loaf. Prepare baking pans by greasing and flouring. In a
9 X 5 pan, you will have to bake it longer.
This recipe is good for alterations in taste, chewing and swallowing difficulties, dry mouth, fatigue, loss of appetite and nausea and vomiting.
I use the 2 whole eggs instead of just the egg whites, and extra cranberries. In fact, one bag of cranberries works well for a double batch of bread. When cranberries aren't in season, you can use dried cranberries. If you want your cranberries to be plump, soak the dried cranberries in warm water.
This is a great extra for your Thanksgiving table.
If you just want to make your own cranberry sauce, wash the berries, add about a half cup of sugar, tablespoon of lemon juice, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg and black pepper. Add about a half a cup of liquid. Water will do. Orange juice will add a dimension, as will red or white wine. I love options. Cover your sauce pan so that the berries don't pop and spew cranberry juice all over the place, but leave the cover open enough for the steam to escape. After the mixture boils and the liquid cooks off, use a potato masher to mash up the berries and then chill. You can make this ahead of time and it will last for a long time. Don't forget the black pepper. It will give it a kick.

Oak Ridge native Carol Varnadore Aebersold took her family tradition and turned it into a multi-million-dollar business — all because she "took that chance and said 'yes.'"
Oak Ridge native Carol Varnadore Aebersold took her family tradition and turned it into a multi-million-dollar business — all because she "took that chance and said 'yes.'"
The co-author of the popular "Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition" book spoke to more than 300 area residents at Oak Ridge High School this week.
She was the keynote speaker at the annual literacy luncheon sponsored by Altrusa International of Oak Ridge and the Breakfast Rotary Club of Oak Ridge.
Proceeds from the luncheon provide money for area literacy programs.
Aebersold told how at age 50-something she was feeling despondent. The former teacher was now an empty nester and her husband's business had suffered from an embezzler.
"I was like, 'I'm already finished,'" Aebersold recalled.
But one of her twin daughters, Chanda Bell, was surprised by her mother's emotion.
Chanda told her mother she should write a book because she was such a good writer.
Sitting on a shelf in Aebersold's kitchen, Chanda saw the elf who'd been her mother's friend throughout childhood. It was the elf Aebersold brought with her into her adult life and shared with her children … along with the story of the elf who showed up each Christmas and told Santa whether she'd been naughty or nice.
"Mom we should write about our elf tradition and share it with the world," Chanda reportedly told her mother. With naysayer feelings, Aebersold said something within her kept telling her to "Say yes, say yes."
And she did.
She wrote the rhyming book with Chanda. They sent it to 10 literary agencies and they began getting rejection letters.
But one New York agent contacted them, telling them she didn't usually open her own mail but she did open theirs.
"Something called me to yours," the agent told them.
After reading it, the agent told them that "I knew in my gut" that there was something special about this. She asked the two to send the elf to New York to be used in pitching the book, and although the elf had never left their family or traveled, "We prayed over it and sent Fisbee to New York," Aebersold said.
But success didn't just happen. The agent advised them to self-publish the book.
"We had no money," Aebersold said. But they chose to try, getting advice from the Small Business Development Center in their area.
Chanda's twin, Christa Pitts, quit her job as a host on the television shopping network QVC, Chanda maxed out her credit cards, and they turned Carol's husband's home office into a business center.
They printed the first batch of books — a minimum of 5,000 was required for printing.
"We invited everyone we had ever known since first grade to a book launch," Aebersold said. "They came and liked it (the book.)"
They sold the book at a Junior League event, although the League had originally turned them down.
"But they were standing six-deep to buy the book," Aebersold recalls.
The family went all around the country selling the book and trying to get small stores to carry it.
At the end of the first year, they had sold all 5,000 books. Then, during the second year, eight stores took the chance.
Their turning point came in 2007, when paparazzi snapped a photo of actress Jennifer Garner carrying it.
"(Then) it really spread by word of mouth," Aebersold said.
QVC and Oprah turned down the book, she said, which was a blessing in disguise because they didn't have the ability at that time to cope with those kinds of sales. They were still taking orders from her husband's home office, which was equipped with one computer and one phone.
"We went from that to six employees and we thought we were really hot stuff," Aebersold said. Now they have 50 employees and plan to add a dozen more this year.
Of their business, Fortune magazine wrote in December: "Since its launch in 2005, the Christmas tradition snowballed from poem to multi-million dollar franchise: Year-over-year growth has averaged 149 percent, sales hit $16.6 million in 2011, CBS premiered 'The Elf on the Shelf: An Elf's Story' last December, and a helium-filled 'Elf on the Shelf' floated through Herald Square during Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in November."
"We want to create family moments," said Aebersold, and that doesn't mean a lot of time is needed — just a little thought.
When they make their business decisions they concentrate on F.I.R.E. – Family focused, Integrity, Respect and Excellence.
"We work very hard to make sure Santa's elves get adopted by good families and that everyone who wants one gets one," Aebersold said.
She recalled a Christmas in which she went to a daughter's church for a service. She was feeling "woe is me" because she had been so busy and hadn't even had time to decorate a tree at her own house.
But the former music teacher learned of a second-grade girl who had a condition that left her unable to talk because of past trauma. She was told the little girl had got up and read the "Elf on the Shelf" for show-and-tell to her classmates who had never heard her speak.
Aebersold remembered praying, "Thank you, God, for such a wonderful Christmas present."
