Hello original CH board members! What do you think about posting our success stories. Basically our babies diagnosis, testing - results, birth date etc... so all of those familes our there know that there IS hope and they won't have to read our 40 page post on the original board unless they really, really want to?? We can limit it to one post for each of us. Please let me know if there is anything to add to this!
- Date CH was discovered and description (size, septated etc.)
- Testing that was underwent and results.
- Date CH was resolved (if applicable.)
- Due Date
- Birth Date - Weight / Length
- Sex of the baby
- Complications (Challenges...) after birth if present.
I ALSO think that this will help us see all of us who are out there that have had CH babies and to keep this information not only for ourselves but to show the doctors. Those that state termination just due to the presence of a CH need to be MORE educated. (Solely my opinion that I now many, many of you share!) Please let me know your thoughts. I can create a new post and we can start the Success Stories there after I here your comments on additions etc.. to the list.
Hope all of our CH baby's are doing GREAT! And those families that have had a recent diagnosis or are going through the steps of testing etc... know that there are many, many CH babies out there that are doing great! There is hope! More so than most doctors give our baby's credit for!

In addition to the embedded code (above), Google Docs also includes an "Add to My Drive" button (below) that is currently in place just not visible to users. After discovering the first description of GDrive in 2009, I'm always a little skeptical of Google actually launching this service but this evidence seems pretty clear.

Occupying the First Amendment
Today, we celebrate the 220th anniversary of the Bill of Rights. However, this celebration is overshadowed by three months of journalist arrests and press suppression across the U.S.
Since the middle of September more than 30 journalists have been arrested while trying to cover Occupy Wall Street protests in cities from Atlanta to Los Angeles, Boston to Oakland. Hundreds of others journalists have complained about press suppression and harassment, including everything from physical abuse to the use of strobe lights to blind cameras.
This is a reminder that it is not enough to celebrate our freedoms. We must also defend them. In response to the widespread reports of altercations between press and police and the documented efforts by mayors in New York City and Los Angeles to strictly limit press access during raids on Occupy encampments, journalism organizations like Free Press, the Society for Professional Journalists, Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press and the National Press Photographers Association have been working to defend journalists. In New York City, thirteen major news organizations came together to demand an immediate meeting with the NYPD to address their concerns.
Their meeting resulted in a formal directive from NYPD police commissioner Raymond Kelly, ordering police officers not to interfere with press. However, just weeks after that order the NYPD has arrested more journalists and has continued to block and intimidate reporters.
Perhaps most troubling is that these arrests are not isolated incidents, but part of a growing trend of police cracking down on first amendment freedoms, especially as related to new technology. "Unfortunately these incidents are occurring with increased frequency throughout the country," notes Mickey H. Osterreicher, general counsel for the National Press Photographers Association.
Indeed, recent years have seen a flurry of high profile court cases related to police obstruction of journalists' and citizens' First Amendment rights. However, thankfully, the courts have, for the most part, applied a broad interpretation of the First Amendment and its application to all people. In one case decided earlier this year, Simon Glik was arrested for using his cell phone to record police actions in Boston Common. Glik sued three Boston police officers for infringing on his First Amendment rights and Judge Kermit Lipez ruled in his favor, stating:
[C]hanges in technology and society have made the lines between private citizen and journalist exceedingly difficult to draw… Such developments make clear why the news-gathering protections of the First Amendment cannot turn on professional credentials or status.
This is important not only because of changes in technology, but also changes in journalism. Since 2008 tens of thousands of journalism jobs have been lost, primarily from mainstream media outlets. This loss comes atop a decade of cuts to newsrooms, foreign bureaus and investigative journalism efforts. However, in recent years we have also seen a proliferation of new journalism efforts, most of them small, online and with deep roots in local communities. These developments mean the demographics of journalism are changing; we have more freelancers and independent journalists covering critical events and issues.
In their just-released 2011 census of journalist arrests worldwide, the Committee to Protect Journalists found that "the number of journalists imprisoned worldwide shot up more than 20 percent to its highest level since the mid-1990s." Of the 179 journalists imprisoned worldwide, 86 were digital journalists whose work appeared primarily online and 78 were freelancers. That trend is also reflected in the make-up of the journalists who have been arrested at Occupy protests. While some have been affiliated with news organizations like NPR or the New York Times, many have been working independently.
As Rebecca Rosen notes in The Atlantic, "Journalists who work for big institutions will continue to have better protections — not because of laws that protect them but because of the legal power their companies can buy. For everyone else, we should hope that we haven't legislated non-journalists out of the protections the First Amendment seeks."
Recent events have shown, however, that it is not enough to simply hope for a good outcome. We need to work together to defend the First Amendment locally in our communities and across the nation. The response to these arrests have been heartening as people have leapt to action to support journalists who have been arrested. They are showing up on the courtroom steps, raising awareness about the arrests, and raising money for legal defense.
In addition to the legal fights outlined above, people are also fighting for better policies that will foster more – not less – quality news. So far 40,000 people have signed Free Press's petition to mayors, calling on them to protect the First Amendment in their cities and drop all charges against arrested journalists.
However, perhaps the most hopeful response I have seen as I've been monitoring these arrests has been the actions of journalists themselves. In case after case, hours after being released from prison journalists are back on the streets, reporting again. At a time when there are so many important stories to be told, the best way to defend the First Amendment is to use it.

For an appointment call: 415-554-3074
Veterinary behavior is one of many specialties within veterinary medicine. It requires board certification, and practitioners provide the most comprehensive behavior assessment available for your pet.
Dr. Wailani Sung is one of 74 Board certified veterinary behaviorists in the United States. She comes to us from Seattle, where she has practiced veterinary behavior medicine since 2010. Dr. Sung obtained her Master's degree and Doctorate in Psychology with a special interest in animal behavior from the University of Georgia. Upon completion of her graduate degrees, Dr. Sung enrolled at the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia where she graduated with a doctorate in veterinary medicine. Dr. Sung practiced general medicine, emergency, exotics and behavioral medicine in Arizona for five years. She has been working as a behavior consultant since 1995. Read more about Dr. Sung.
Dr. Sophie Liu originally hails from the Bay Area and developed a passion for behavior and training when she struggled to manage her own dog's aggression many years ago. This journey took her from UC Berkeley, where she confirmed her passion for animal behavior as an undergraduate, to vet school at Cornell University. Dr. Liu has a particularly strong interest in working dogs, and, in her free time, loves to explore the limits of her teaching abilities by training her Doberman for protection sports. She looks forward to meeting all the animals that improve our lives and to helping us all improve the human-animal bond. Read more about Dr. Liu.
Dr. Jeannine Berger is one of only six double board-certified veterinarians in the world specializing in behavior and welfare and in addition to practicing veterinary behavior medicine at the specialty clinic, she serves as the VP of Rescue and Welfare at the SF SPCA. She is highly regarded by her clients and colleagues and has successfully treated and consulted on many serious behavior problems in dogs, cats, and horses. Read more about Dr. Berger. At this time Dr. Berger does not accept new patients at the hospital.
Full Diagnostic Behavior Consultation: 60 minutes
If your pet is showing signs of fear and anxiety, aggression, hyper-excitability, sudden changes in behavior, self-injury, obsessive compulsive-type behaviors, age-related changes or if you have worked with a trainer and your pet can't seem to learn or has plateaued in spite of positive reinforcement training, or you find yourself having to punish the behavior rather than building a positive relationship with your pet, you should see Dr. Sung or Dr. Liu for a full diagnostic evaluation.
A full behavioral specialty consult with our Doctors includes:
- An in-depth behavior assessment, evaluation, diagnosis and prognosis discussion that will offer guidance and steps toward healing
- An initial treatment and management plan, including cost and time commitment involved
- A determination as to whether psychotropic medication therapy is needed
Keep in mind that only a veterinarian can diagnose your animal and recommend a comprehensive treatment plan. Once you have received a diagnosis and a treatment recommendation, it is vital to receive ongoing coaching from our qualified Behavior Team to ensure your pet's individually tailored treatment plan is working and we achieve the goals we did set. If medications are part of the treatment plan, ongoing assessments by Dr. Sung or Dr. Liu and regular blood work will be required.
If you have any questions or wish to book, please call our behavior information line at 415-554-3074 or If you would like further information, please fill out this form and we will contact you!
Prior to your appointment with Dr. Sung or Dr. Liu:

If we do not receive your history forms at least 72 hours before your appointment, your appointment may need to be rescheduled. History forms provide us with background information and allow us to prepare properly for your appointment as time is limited. It also helps us provide guidance as to what tier of service might be needed.
Please choose the form that best fits the main behavior concern.

Well, I think that the Linux runs off the USB but I'm not sure. Also if I have a USB with a U3 system is that the same as having a Linux system?

Play ram disable & adv. instrument properties (scales)
A)It would be very useful if the ram of a loaded instrument could be disabled in a instance of Play itself or reloaded at anytime. Right now you can unload all the mic positions from the ram, but if you save and close a session and then re-open the session you can no longer reload the instrument samples which were unloaded.
B)Add scales to the advanced instrument properties which allow you to play only notes in that scale by only loading samples in that scale. You could include all the common scales.
Further Concerning A)
I did recently discover that you can unload the samples via mic positions, close down the session and load the samples back in via the activation buttons for the articulations and then loading from the mic positions works... So you can technically make disabled templates, unfortunately there is just a bit of click click click involved to load the samples back in. It would be nice that only clicking the mic positions would load or unload even if you save it unloaded and then reopen the session backup and reload it by clicking the mic positions again without out having to reactive any of the articulations. Well anyways I have a way to do it for now, if you made this little update it would just make things a bit quicker, thanks!
Further concerning A) I also recently noticed some libraries do not allow you to unload all of the mic positions in Play (Stormdrum 3). Others you can unload the articulations, but if you save and close the session you are not able to reload the articulations (Ghostwriter).
Others it seems if you unload the mic positions from ram, save and close the session, when you open it back up the instrument will be loaded (certain instruments in symphonic choirs - men & women hard mod, and vota multi patches). There may be similar things that happen with other libraries, but I have not encountered them yet.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Much is at stake this weekend as the Tennessee Tech tennis team travels to Austin Peay and Murray State to wrap up the season. The Golden Eagles are 7-0 in the Ohio Valley Conference, and have won 15 straight matches against league foes.
A victory Saturday at Austin Peay would leave Tech as the only unbeaten team in the conference, and clinch a share of the OVC championship. The Golden Eagles' could then clinch the title outright with a win at Murray State on Sunday, giving the team its second straight regular season championship.
Austin Peay possesses a 14-2 record overall and is 7-0 in OVC play. The Governors have only dropped four points in conference play. Peay wraps up their sesason at home, where they have been very difficult to beat, holding a 9-1 home record. Tennessee Tech faces Austin Peay Saturday at 1:00 p.m. The match will be held at the Governors Tennis Center.
Sunday, the Golden Eagles look to make it 12 consecutive victories against Murray State. The Racers are 1-6 in conference play, but enter this weekend winning their previous two matches after defeating Tennessee State last Saturday, and Western Kentucky on Wednesday. Tech faces Murray State at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Bennie Purcell Tennis Courts.

About West Vail
Occupying a wider swath of the Valley than the Villages and East Vail, West Vail offers distinctly different environments on its northern and southern hillsides. The south side features lush wooded alpine terrain interspersed with meadows while the more exposed north side offers dramatic views and an abundance of sunshine year round. Divided into several neighborhoods, the area has a commercial center with groceries, shops, and restaurants and a close knit mix of locals and second home owners. Properties in West Vail range from simple condominiums to elegant single-family homes, all of which are a quick 5-10 minute Town shuttle away from the heart of the Village.

The Zen of Plagiarism, Cleaning HouseJune 03, 2003
The first plagiarized Zen Garden submission, and a Dave Winer–style list of thoughts and links.
And in this corner, the first plagiarized version of a Zen Garden design spotted in the wild. Unfortunately, this will not be the last.
While I know you, dear readers, would never steal someone's imagery, it's important to note that the Zen Garden designs were created in the spirit of sharing. The code is meant to be studied, dissected, picked apart, and used for absolutely anything you want to use it for. The graphics, however, still belong to their respective owners and any use without proper permission, accreditation, and compensation as the case may be, is theft.
I'm lenient, personally. I've authorized use of my images in other work. But that's my own policy on my own image work, and each Zen Garden submitter may have different (but valid) thoughts on the matter. I think it's time to re–evaluate the standard header/license in each .css file.
update: the design has been removed, so I've dropped the link from this post. Michael grabbed a screen shot though. §
All complaining about Microsoft's current focus aside, much praise is due Tantek Çelik and his team for this. That is a lot of green in the MSN/Mac OS X column. Way to go! §
Douglas Bowman followed up his recent Zen Garden submission with an incredibly in–depth look at his design process. This is a must–read article. §
Seamus Leahy adds an offering to the recent CSS–2 pseudo–class tricks that have been going around, and ups the ante to CSS–3. While we've been focusing on :hover, he decided to explore :target. Take a look in your favourite Mozilla deviant.
(Oddly, it doesn't seem to work in Firebird.) It works just fine in Firebird, but not, as I've discovered, Phoenix. Someone needs to pay more attention. Whoops. §
Welcome back Mark. Glad to hear the inbox didn't get jammed, it gives me hope for my own upcoming excursion. §
Speaking of Garden entries, I'm about 60% done the Photoshop monkeying of my next one, which means I get to start coding soon. If I can build this one, I think it may be one of the first that absolutely couldn't be duplicated in tables. (although there are some close calls up there now) That's a rather significant if because I have yet to figure out how I'm going to do a few things. Give me a week or three. §
A brief thought about the AOL/Microsoft settlement — if AOL rests on this decision and relies on Microsoft to keep upgrading Internet Explorer for the next 7 years, they are cutting their own throat. They've read the same news we have and must realize that Microsoft just gave them a dead product. That all forthcoming revisions of IE are considered to be integrated into the operating system gives Microsoft a convenient little loophole to keep them from ever having to license anything past IE6. "Sorry guys," they'll say. "We can't give you this new one without divulging Windows code. That wasn't in the deal."
AOL is hemorrhaging cash, but they can't afford to let Mozilla/Netscape die. All this deal does is buy them time.§

How un-flattering.
they're not a commercial business. they're twits with nothing to gain or lose. no point. just send a note to their ISP or hosting company and voila~ now if you wanna go crazy, i'm sure chuddie can tell you it just aint worth it.
Safari also works with :target. Make sure you have the latest public build (v74).
My Firebird nightlie (June 1st) seems to deal just fine with the :target stuff
Nightly builds being newer, that's not a huge surprise. But…. oh geez, this is embarrassing. I'm still running Phoenix at home. I guess I upgraded at work only. Okay, scratch that part — it works in Firebird.

Sixty years ago, 27-year-old Henry Molaison underwent an experimental operation in a last-ditch attempt to stop his debilitating epileptic seizures. By removing tissue from each side of Molaison's brain, the surgeon helped quell the attacks but destroyed his patient's ability to form new memories.

I am so sorry to hear that larsonstdoc . Before we moved hereand bailed out of California, we lived where all the illegals came to.They don't live by the rules we all do, they'll buy a junker car for$400 and of course no insurance and get wasted drunk and drive.All of them have a plan if they get in trouble and that is to run backover the border back to Mexico to evade the law in the USA.Hubby worked with many in the construction industry, all illegals,the "cheapest bid" one the contract and most of the Subs on the jobsitesall hired illegals. Hubby would have to find one that spoke english andget things translated, many times he was told to the "hour" by them howlong it would take to get back across the border, they don't care what theydo here, as long as they can get back "home" in 11-13 straight hours...If anyone finds a lot of mexican illegals are in their area, residing, etc.and need a heads' up what they do, how to protect yourself, ask me,we lived in what the cops in one small town in California called : Little Mexico and of course the realtors said nothing when they sold hubby his bachelor house there before I met him, and the house we lived inamongst this puke for way too long. And... the small house 11houses down the street from us there, it houses no kidding 58illegals, all men, it was a migrant laborer house and they allused the backyard for a giant toilet!They also steal really bad, the women too. They hate whiteswith a passion.
Windy, it is not politically correct but anybody that looks like a Mexican/Latin American SHOULD BE STOPPED BY THE COPS AND ASKED FOR THEIR LICENSE AND PROOF OF REGISTRATION. WHY? Because your family or my family could be the next victims. I know the stories you told above are true---these people are disgusting that don't follow the basic rules of society.

Tiffa is a Kanebo Brand that I have largely ignored until I saw a review of the Base on Vanessa's blog. The base was a spidery black thing – urgh! Disgusted but fascinated at the same time, I ordered this prodct from Adambeaty, and the Mascara to go with it (lengthening natch) and two of the new eyeliner/sparkly mascara combos.
Well the base and mascara are great! they are not really volumising (although there is a volumising version of the mascara) I decided to go for length since this was what I wanted to achieve.
The base works well, and so does the mascara, which is fairly unclumpy. Also, it didn't irritate my eyes. Last time I used a firbre rich mascara (Fiberwig) I nearly screached my cornea out it was so uncomfortable. But no problems with this one.
The little hairs are odd, no? But they seem to work:
Secondly – it HELD curl! Wowwe!! Only Shiseido Lifting and SANA Big Curl work for me (and that includes a lot of Japanese brands), where my lashes just find the mascaras too heavy.
Thirdly – it came of pretty easy. SANA and Shiseido are a buggery to get off. Even Bifacial can just about manage and even then, I have black rims under my eyes in the morning. This one came off with some cheap Boots eye make up remover, which is a huge bonus.
The glitter liner/mascara combos are lovely too.
the black one is infused with intense silver glitter – I adore this because the black is a true black, no messing about.
The silver looked stunning on the model and it is really lovely in real life too. Whats nicea bout silver is that you can slap it on a bit more carelessly than black and most people wont notice!
The brush is dual purpose, for liner or mascara:
The results:
Yes yes yes! Now, my lashes are in no way easy, but this mascara added length and separation to them. It takes more time in the morning to use a base and a mascara but it is worth it. I am tempted to buy the thickening version of the mascara then use all three at the same time – will there be spectacular lashes?!
Each item cost me around £6 which means the base and mascara only cost £12. And so far I have to admit…it is my favourite mascara and base. It is also relatively easy to get off with make up remover and some warm water.
Love this item!

"She may be pretty, wealthy and about to marry a prince, but an overwhelming majority of British women do not envy Kate Middleton." Shocking.
Reuters reports on a poll of over 1,000 British women, 86% of whom were not jealous of Kate in the slightest. The main reason: her "perceived inability to lead a normal life" after her marriage to Prince William. Uh, that's not just a perception. Says Carla Bevan, editor-in-chief of MyDaily.co.uk, which commissioned the poll, "Most women realize Catherine has an unenviable task ahead of her, having her every move, not to mention every outfit, picked apart by the press." And not just the press, but also the royal family, who will presumably want to make sure everything their new member does is up to code. Example: she may need a lady-in-waiting who can "instruct her in protocol" — basically, imagine having someone follow you around and tell you when to curtsy when you're hanging out with your in-laws. It's actually surprising that 14% of British ladies think this would be awesome.
Diana discussion is, as Sadie has mentioned, getting a bit played out as the big day approaches. Still, it's hard to consider the average British woman's attitude to Kate Middleton's life without thinking about the impact of Princess Di's many scandals. Watching someone they all loved go through a variety of ultra-public embarrassments — and then suffer a tragic death — had to change a lot of people's view of what it meant to be a princess. Now it seems many Brits are aware that royal life has its downsides, and that Kate Middleton might have cause to envy them.

This has been the year of the grape. Excluding Cabonne (it only listed in September), the seven wine stocks we regularly cover have increased by 26.1% since January. This compares with an 10.5% increase in the All Ordinaries over the same period. Will this sparkling performance continue and if so, for how long?
While margins will be squeezed as competition hots up and export growth to the UK softens, the establishment of global distribution centres shows the local companies' intent. Australia exports just 13% of total UK wine consumption and a measly 2.5% of US sales.

Quinta Essentia
August 7, 2009 at 8:57 pm (Alchemy, Enlightenment, Exclusive Societies, Geology, India, Japan, Kabbalah, Literature, Metallurgy, Mythology, Religion, Shakespeare, Symbology, Technology, The Ancient World, The Occult, The Renaissance, Theater) (4 elements, alchemical symbols, Alchemy, classical elements, fifth element, four elements, history of chemistry, irrational geographic, quinta essentia, quintessence, quintessence of dust, what a piece of work is man)
"What a piece of work is man. How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties. In form and moving, how express and admirable. In action how like an angel. In apprehension, how like a god. The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals. And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?"
– The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, Act II, scene ii
This dizzyingly rich quotation is familiar to any student of literature, and has become a sort of mantra to those who practice the theatrical art of soliloquy. But what interests me here are not the layers upon layers of meaning that Shakespeare wove using these words, but rather one individual word in particular. That word is quintessence which, as it is used in this context, is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "The most typical example of a category or class; the most perfect embodiment of a certain type of person or thing." But a bit of etymological reasoning leads to more questions than answers. Why would the prefix quint, meaning five, when attached quite literally to the word essence, produce a word synonymous with archetype or apotheosis? What is this mysterious fifth essence that has seemingly sneaked unnoticed into our contemporary lexicon? The answer, it turns out, lies in various ancient philosophies, ranging from the ancient Greeks to the age-old practice of alchemy.
The practice of alchemy, which combines elements scientific, philosophical, and spiritual, is believed to date back to traditions of the ancient Persian Empire, as early as the 8th century BC. While certain aspects of alchemy bear resemblance to complex spiritual systems such as Kabbalah, its more practical attributes can be seen as a precursor to modern chemistry. Although alchemists practicing in different eras and parts of the world embraced drastically differing systems, one unifying theme running through them all is a concern with physical elements.
The four primary, or Classical, elements are earth, air, fire, and water. This way of dividing the physical world can be found in various ancient cultures. In many traditions, however, there is a fifth element that is considered to be the most important one of all. Known to the Greeks as Aether, the Hindus as Akasha, and the Japanese as void or sky, the notion of a fifth, ethereal element that ties the four physical elements together is pervasive amongst ancient philosophical traditions. It is from the alchemical interpretation of this fifth element, this quinta essentia, that we receive our term signifying an example of perfection. Sometimes referred to as the Philosopher's Stone, the fifth element is the unity that comes with the mastery of the four lower elements, a whole greater than the sum of its parts. It is just this notion that Shakespeare was evoking when he dubbed man "the quintessence of dust". After all, even a ghost in the machine, no matter how powerful the spirit and how complex the mechanism, is still a mere ghost in a mere machine. This conclusion was, it seems, one of the weights that made Prince Hamlet's head so heavy.

Masala Kale Chips Recipe
Here's a recipe for an inexpensive, super easy and delicious snack. My husband Lulu and I usually love munching on snacks late in the evening and kale chips are a great way to do so guilt-free.
Kale chips are nutritious and low in calories with fewer than 50 calories per serving. I flavored the chips with Indian spices and Meyer lemon zest. You can find a similar recipe in my latest book, Haute Potato, made with waffle potato chips instead.
Yields: 6 servings1 bunch fresh kale (8 cups)
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cardamom pod
⅛ teaspoon cumin seeds
⅛ teaspoon coriander seeds
⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
⅛ teaspoon red chili powder, to taste
⅛ teaspoon cinnamon, freshly grated
⅛ teaspoon turmeric
¼ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Preparing the kale: Wash the raw kale thoroughly in several baths. Remove and discard the fibrous and older parts of the stems. Break the leaves into 3-4" pieces. Pat dry with a towel.
Making the masala spice mix: Extract the seeds from the cardamom pod. In a mortar and pestle, grind the cardamom seeds. In a small pan, over high heat, dry toast and constantly stir the cumin seeds and coriander seeds for 2 minutes. Remove from the stove and add the turmeric, cinnamon, red chili powder and nutmeg. Transfer to the mortar and pestle with the cardamom and crush into a fine mill.
Assembly time:
Drizzle the kale with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Sprinkle with lemon zest, salt, the masala mix and black pepper. Toss well. "Massage" the leaves to make sure they're well seasoned. Brush 3 baking pans with a little oil. Divide into 3 equal portions and spread the leaves onto the pans. Bake for 12 minutes until dark green and crispy (I baked all the sheets at the same time, each one one a separate rack.
Let cool to room temperature and serve with nuts such as almonds or pistachios or store the chips in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Bon appétit!
If you don't have kale on hand, you could use any other greens such as collard greens or mustard greens (any leafy greens).Published By: on March 8, 2013.

Great shoe for road running
The shoe has certainly helped me improve my PBs on both 10 km and half-marathon distances. Very good shoe that unleashes it's full potential on the race-track or when you are pushing for a higher pace. I think it's best for running on the road, but having some terrain mixed in is not a problem.

- Militant Leader Killed by U.S. Drone Strike
Uzbekistan is situated in central Asia between the Amu Darya and Syr Darya Rivers, the Aral Sea, and the slopes of the Tien Shan Mountains. It is bounded by Kazakhstan in the north and northwest, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan in the east and southeast, Turkmenistan in the southwest, and Afghanistan in the south. The republic also includes the Karakalpakstan Autonomous Republic, with its capital, Nukus (1992 est. pop., 182,000). The country is about one-tenth larger in area than the state of California.
Republic; authoritarian presidential rule.
The Uzbekistan land was once part of the ancient Persian Empire and was later conquered by Alexander the Great in the 4th centuryB.C.During the 8th century, the nomadic Turkic tribes living there were converted to Islam by invading Arab forces who dominated the area. The Mongols under Ghengis Khan took over the region from the Seljuk Turks in the 13th century, and it later became part of Tamerlane the Great's empire and that of his successors until the 16th century. The Uzbeks invaded the territory in the early 16th century and merged with the other inhabitants in the area. Their empire broke up into separate Uzbek principalities, the khanates of Khiva, Bukhara, and Kokand. These city-states resisted Russian expansion into the area but were conquered by the Russian forces in the mid-19th century.
The territory was made into the Uzbek Republic in 1924 and became the independent Uzbekistan Soviet Socialist Republic in 1925. Under Soviet rule, Uzbekistan concentrated on growing cotton with the help of irrigation, mechanization, and chemical fertilizers and pesticides, causing serious environmental damage.
Indpendent, but with Appalling Conditions
In June 1990, Uzbekistan was the first central Asian republic to declare that its own laws had sovereignty over those of the central Soviet government. Uzbekistan became fully independent and joined with ten other former Soviet republics on Dec. 21, 1991, in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
Vozrozhdeniye, an island in the Aral Sea, was a secret test site for biological weapons during the Soviet era. In 1988, the Soviets attempted to bury the evidence on the island, a frightening legacy that Uzbekistan inherited upon independence. U.S. scientists have confirmed that the island contains live anthrax and other deadly poisons.
President Karimov, a former Communist Party boss, is an autocrat who has brutally suppressed political parties and religious freedom and maintained rule with an iron fist. In 1999, after a bus hijacking, he declared, "I am prepared to rip off the heads of 200 people, to sacrifice their lives, in order to save peace and calm in the republic." The country's thousands of political and religious prisoners are subject to appalling conditions and horrific torture, including being boiled alive.
In 1999, the country battled against militant Islamic groups bent on the overthrow of the secular government. Fighting against the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) continued for the next several years.
A Rocky Relationship with the United States
In 2001, Uzbekistan provided the U.S. and UK with a base to fight against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces in neighboring Afghanistan and became the United States' main regional partner in the war on terror. Karimov linked his own battle against the Islamic opposition to the global fight on terrorism. He also exploited the real threat of Islamicism by labeling all of his opponents as Islamic extremists. As a strategic partner, the U.S. has been reluctant to take a firm stand regarding Uzbekistan's dismal human rights record. According to a report in the New York Times in May 2005, the U.S. has sent clandestine planeloads of accused terrorists to Uzbekistan as part of its controversial "rendition" program, the delivery of prisoners to countries with abusive interrogation tactics that are prohibited in the United States.
On May 13, 2005, unarmed antigovernment demonstrators in the city of Andijan were killed in a military crackdown; the number of casualties is still disputed, but it may be as many as 1,000. Earlier, a number of protesters had stormed a prison and released about 2,000 prisoners to protest what they saw as the rigged trial of 23 businessmen. The government claimed the men were Islamic terrorists; the protesters insisted the 23 were antigovernment civic leaders whom the government saw as a threat to its authority. In July 2005, President Karimov ordered the U.S. military to close its air base in Uzbekistan after the U.S. called for an inquiry into the massacre and supported the airlift of Uzbek refugees escaping the violence. The base was shut down four months later, with U.S. forces moving to Kyrgyzstan.
Karimov was reelected in December 2007, taking 88.1% of the vote. The opposition claimed the vote was rigged.
Human Rights Watch Expelled
In March 2011, the Uzbekistan government expelled all Human Rights Watch employees from the country. The government gave no reason for the expulsion. Human Rights Watch released a statement that indicated the decision came after years of harassment by government officials. In the statement, the group said, "Well over a dozen human rights and political activists and independent journalists are in prison, torture and ill-treatment in the criminal justice system are systematic, and serious violations go unpunished." Human Rights Watch called on the European Union and the United States to come down harder on Uzbekistan for its human rights violations.
Both the U.S. and the European Union have worked to improve relations with Uzbekistan in recent months. A neighbor of Afghanistan, Uzbekistan offers a route for the United States to get supplies to get into that country.
Militant Leader Killed by U.S. Drone Strike
In early August 2012, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, a major militant group with close ties to Al Qaeda, announced that the group's leader, Uthman Adil, had been killed in a U.S. drone strike. Adil was killed in Pakistan, near the Afghan border back in April 2012 when a U.S. drone fired missiles into a tribal region. Adil's death was confirmed by a security official from Pakistan who said his death was a "major blow" to the militant group.
The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan has a reputation for extreme violence even when compared to other militant groups in the region. Therefore, its members have been attacked repeatedly by U.S. drones. One of these previous attacks killed Tahir Yuldashev, the group's leader before Adil.
Presidential elections were held in March 2015. Incumbent Islam Karimov won, receiving more than 90% of the vote. Election turnout was 91%. Uzbekistan's first and only president, Karimov has been in office since 1990.

O'Reilly on MMFA : "A Far Left website [is] questioning my honesty. It's all a bunch of baloney."
Research ››› ››› GABE WILDAU & DAVID BROCK
On the June 28 edition of FOX News Channel's The O'Reilly Factor, host Bill O'Reilly reacted to a column by New York Daily News movie critic Jack Mathews that accused O'Reilly of routinely lying on the air and suggested that O'Reilly, who has rebuffed repeated attempts by Media Matters for America to appear on his show with documented evidence refuting his lies, was "hiding" from MMFA. O'Reilly called the Mathews column "the most ridiculous item of the day" but did not appear amused while delivering a harangue against Mathews and Media Matters for America.
In his June 28 column, titled "Hide this, Bill O'Reilly," Mathews cited -- and challenged O'Reilly to disprove -- three "O'Reilly untruths, courtesy of the media watchdog group Media Matters for America":
Example 1: In an April 27 radio debate with a Canadian journalist, you threatened to lead a boycott of Canadian goods if Canada didn't deport two American military deserters, saying that a previous O'Reilly-led boycott of French goods cost that country billions in lost export business. You cited the Paris Business Review as your source for those losses.
In fact, Media Matters found no evidence that a Paris Business Review even exists, and France's export business with the U.S. actually increased during the run-up to the Iraq war.
Example 2: In discrediting philanthropist and John Kerry supporter George Soros, you distorted his account of his feelings about his father's death, deliberately misquoting him from a 1995 New Yorker article to make it appear that he had callous disregard for his father's life.
Example 3: On May 4, in announcing his acquisition of a cable TV channel, Al Gore said: "This is not going to be a liberal network or a Democratic network or a political network in any way, shape or form."
On "The O'Reilly Factor" that night, you said: "Al Gore has announced that he is starting up a new cable channel exclusively devoted to liberal stuff. We wish Mr. Gore good luck. And he'll need it."
O'Reilly responded to none of the specific allegations of lying, which have been documented by Media Matters for America here, here, and here. Rather, he attempted to dismiss the entire controversy as a "bunch of baloney":
O'REILLY: [T]he new Far Left tactic is to distort the record of anyone who challenges. Every week day we do three hours of commentary, two on the radio, and an hour on TV. The bomb-throwers are now recording all of that with an eye on finding so-called lies.
Now anybody can find something in three hours to challenge. But it is the straight press who is enabling the propaganda. Today in the New York Daily News, for example, writer Jack Mathews quotes a Far Left website in questioning my honesty. It's all a bunch of baloney.
That Mathews isn't really worth the time. But the overall dishonesty of the Far Left is very important. They are giving all liberals a very, very bad name. And that's ridiculous. These people.

Tramp Training
Like a foam pit for BMX or Motocross, a flow rider for surfing, or a swimming pool for ski jumping, every aspiring wakeskater needs a trampoline. As frustrating as it is to learn flip tricks on a skateboard, it's made ten times harder when every time you fall, you have to float awkwardly waiting for the boat or ski to come back around and grab you. But you can jump on the tramp for hours and figure out exactly how to move your feet, make the board move like you want it, and master the perfect flick and catch without a boat, or a driver for that matter. And with the ever-raising price of gas, a trampoline will pay for itself in that many less attempts at a trick once you take it to the water.
How to set up your trampoline for optimum training:
-Set it up next to a tree to tie the handle to. You can flip the board 'til your hearts content, but to really transfer it to the water, you need to practice with the rope in your hand.
– Tie your rope so the handle falls right on the middle of the tramp for maximum pop. This also enables you to practice toeside or heelside by moving slightly to one side or the other.
-If possible light that sucker up. That way you can practice into the wee hours a night, and even avoid some of summer's most scorching heat.
-If you want to master rails or locking into crooked grinds on your box, try setting up a rail across one side of the tramp. You just need a 4 x 4 long enough to stretch from metal to metal and then you can build whatever contraption you want on top of that.
But be warned:
-You will get welts in your shins. Stef Tor once admitted to wearing soccer shin guards when she was practicing on the tramp. It might sound kooky, but it definitely helps if you are trying to have a future leg modeling career (or you don't like pain.)
-The summer heat and tramp training are not a good mix, but it is the quickest way to warm up before you ride. Drink plenty of water and remember that ground below is hard, so try not to fall on it too often.
Once you've mastered tramp skating, you are ready to transfer your skills to the water. There you may have to contend with rollers, white caps and gators. But while water might be a bit more difficult to master, but at least you have plenty of other variables to blame.

Well, Matt Lauer's got his hands full.
No, not the TV Matt Lauer. The other Matt Lauer. The one who used to do public diplomacy work for the US State Department and now does PR for a Washington company called Qorvis Communications.
Why are his hands full? The good news is that his firm just got a big new account. The bad news is that it's the Kingdom of Bahrain.
That's bad news because it's a little like getting the Pol Pot account; there wouldn't seem to be a lot a PR firm could do to burnish Mr. Pol Pot's "image." Not even for $40,000 a month plus expenses.
King Hamad-Bin-Isa-Al-Khalifa is no Pol Pot. But he has unleashed the full fury of the government apparatus on peaceful demonstrators. His security police and army have killed many of these demonstrators. Hundreds have been wounded. Even larger numbers have been arrested and, according to reputable human rights groups, much more have been tortured and otherwise abused in prison, where they have little access to lawyers or even family members.
What do PR firms customarily do with high profile clients with deeply tarnished "images?" They'll construct a narrative presenting the King's version of what's happened. They will have the King say, as he did this week, that he will forgive all the miscreants. He will make speeches about the openness of the government to "dialogue." He may even empty his prisons of political prisoners as a pre-condition to dialogue.
They'll issue an endless stream of press releases and films designed to reassure the world – and especially the tourist trade – that peace has been restored and all is well in the Kingdom. And they will need to reassure the sponsors of Formula One auto racing that it's OK for them to drive in Bahrain.
Meanwhile, the improvised, home-grown PR machinery of the demonstrators will continue to push out story after story designed to heighten awareness of the dire human rights situation still prevailing in the tiny Kingdom.
Journalists covering this story – and there are very few of them – will continue to receive pictures of corpses butchered by their jailers. And e-mailed statements from those leaders not yet arrested or out on bail. And daily tallies of deaths and detentions and military trials and the usual array of police state toys.
Mr. Lauer's task may be made a bit easier by the presence of Bahrain's two most powerful friends. One is Saudi Arabia – also a client of Lauer's firm — which is just 20 minutes over the causeway to Bahrain. Saudi Arabia actually sent troops into Bahrain, where they are currently helping the King and his family to quell the protests. The last thing the Saudis want is a Shia controlled country 20 minutes away from their Eastern oilfields.
So Mr. Lauer and his colleagues are going to have to deal with the religious aspects of their client's situation. The King and his family, you see, are Sunni Muslims, like the Saudis. The majority of the people of Bahrain are Shia Muslims, just like the Iranians. One of the Shia's main protests is that they are systematically excluded from any job with any authority.
Mr. Lauer's other advantage is the silence of the United States. The Crown Prince – the King's son – has been dispatched to Washington to reassure the State Department and President Obama that his government is eager to engage in dialogue with the protesters but that they won't play until unacceptable conditions have been met. The US Government has helped by emphasizing the important of dialogue.
Bahrain is of strategic importance to the US. Its Fifth Fleet is housed there. And the US can't afford to annoy the Saudis too much, because we buy their oil, they're still fretting about Obama letting Egypt's Hosni Mubarak resign too soon, and they represent the Sunni balance of power in the Mideast.
When the Crown Prince visited Washington, he told the folks at the State Department that he was worried about Bahrain's "image" and its negative impact on tourism. So that's what Mr. Lauer and his team of warriors will try to correct in the eyes of the US Government and the Congress and in major nation capitals in Europe.
So we will see whether "the engineering of consent" – the phrase used by the father of PR to define this form of art – can trump the suffering of an undervalued, abused, and gutsy populace.
How will a public relations program explain – perhaps even attempt to justify – the death of a 14-year-old boy, Ali Jawad, who was participating with thousands of other peaceful Bahrainis in an Eid celebration. A member of the security forces fired a teargas canister at him at point-blank range.
The point is that most honest public relations practitioners will tell you that only limited change can be made in people's attitudes until there are substantial and well-communicated changes in the policies that caused the problem in the first place.
If Mr. Lauer and his colleagues can do that, they should get a raise to $80,000 a month!

Older patients treated with the diabetes medications known as thiazolidinediones (which include rosiglitazone) had a significantly increased risk of heart attack, congestive heart failure and death, compared with the use of other hypoglycemic drugs, according to a study in the December 12, 2007 issue of JAMA. The authors suggest that these results provide further evidence that this class of medication may cause more harm than good.
The thiazolidinediones (TZDs) rosiglitazone and pioglitazone are oral hypoglycemic agents used to treat type 2 diabetes and have been shown to improve glycemic control. "While improved glycemic control has been linked to better clinical outcomes in diabetes and TZDs have been suggested as having potential cardiovascular benefits, recent concerns have arisen regarding adverse cardiac effects of these drugs," the authors write.
Some research has indicated that both rosiglitazone and pioglitazone may increase the risk of congestive heart failure (CHF), and that rosiglitazone may be associated with an increased risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI; heart attack) and death. "These findings prompted a recent hearing by a U.S. Food and Drug Administration advisory panel regarding the safety of rosiglitazone; however the panel voted against removing rosiglitazone from the market because of insufficient data."
Lorraine L. Lipscombe, M.D., M.Sc., of the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences, Toronto, and colleagues evaluated the risks of CHF, heart attack, and all-cause death associated with the use of TZDs, compared with other oral hypoglycemic agents among patients age 66 years or older with diabetes. This older patient population has often been under-represented in trials of TZDs, even though they have a high prevalence of diabetes, and may be at greater risk of medication-related harms.
The researchers analyzed data from health care databases in
Compared to oral hypoglycemic agent combination therapy users, current users of TZD monotherapy had a 60 percent increased risk of congestive heart failure; had a 40 percent increased risk of heart attack; and had a 29 percent increased risk of death. These increased risks associated with TZD use appeared limited to rosiglitazone.
"Our findings argue against current labeling of TZDs that warns against use only in persons at high risk of CHF, as we did not identify any subgroup of older diabetes patients who may be protected from adverse effects of TZDs," the authors write. "These findings provide evidence from a real-world setting and support data from clinical trials that the harms of TZDs may outweigh their benefits, even in patients without obvious baseline cardiovascular disease."
"Further studies are needed to better quantify the risk-benefit tradeoffs associated with TZD therapy and to explore whether the hazards associated with these agents are specific to rosiglitazone. In the interim, treatment decisions must remain individualized, with clinicians weighing the potential benefits and harms of TZD treatment, especially among high-risk elderly populations."

Gallery: Spectacular, rarely seen images of China's railways
China's rail system is one enormous mass of statistics.
It's 93,000 kilometers long -- the third largest in the world after the United States and Russia -- and according to China's Ministry of Railways, total passenger-kilometers reached 961 billion in 2011, the highest in the world.
But for one Beijing-based "photoworm" (图虫) -- as photographers are dubbed in China -- it's far more beautiful than a bunch of big numbers.
Wang Wei (王嵬) is possibly the most passionate rail fan in China, having traveled 200,000 kilometers over seven years -- braving frostbite, dodgy time-tabling and months away from home -- to capture the network and its trains on film.
The 22-year-old University of West Beijing for Science and Economy graduate plans to write a book about his experiences.
We got a preview of his work and asked him a few questions.
More on CNNGo: Gallery: A year in the life of a travel photographer
CNNGo: How did you get into railway photography?
Wang Wei: I am a Beijing native and grew up by the train station. I started taking railway photos in 2005 when I was 15.
I have a deep connection with the trains and railways. From my window, I can see trains every day.
The first photos I took were of trains at Beijing North Raiway Station, which is next to my place.
CNNGo: What's the secret of a good railway photo?
Wang: I usually make a plan two or three days before shooting. According to the train schdule, color and type, I will think of light and background, with light or backlit, things like that.
It's actually not too complicated.
CNNGo: How far have you traveled in this quest?
Wang: More than 200,000 kilometers, in all provinces of mainland China.
CNNGo: Which places have been your favorites?
Wang: The Greater Khingan Mountains; Qinghai-Tibet extension rail; south of Xinjiang; and Yunnan–Vietnam Railway's China section.
CNNGo: What equipment do you use?
Wang: Nikon D300S and D80, plus 18-200 VR Lens.
CNNGo: How do you travel to your destinations?
Wang: I use every form of transportation depending on where I go.
Trains and cars half of the time, and on foot the other half.
During my trip to northeast China in October 2011, I walked more than 186 kilometers in 15 days, not including the mountains I climbed. Because it was the only way I could reach the places I wanted to go.
CNNGo: How long does a journey usually take?
Wang: I'm freelance at the moment so I have plenty of time. Depends where I go -- the journey usually takes from 10 days to a month.
The longest journey I took was a 56-day trip covering seven provinces -- Beijing, Gansu, Xinjiang, Qinghai, Shannxi, Yunnan and Guizhou during the summer of 2011.
CNNGo: Any difficulties during any of your missions?
Wang: To me, the difficulties are finding angles and waiting for trains.
I love the high angle, so I usually climb mountains to take photos.
Some of the mountains are steep and have dangerous wildlife like snakes. So I need to be very careful.
And at night, it's even harder to climb.
The trains often change schedules according to the weather or other unpredictable reasons, so it's quite normal for me to wait in one spot a whole day without seeing a train.
CNNGo: Is your family supportive?
Wang: Like many Chinese parents, they thought I should go to college and get a degree so at first they didn't support me at all.
But when they heard my experiences of my journey and saw my photos were getting better and better, they were OK with it. My Dad sometimes will join me on photo shoots.
CNNGo: How do you fund your travels?
Wang: I shoot weddings, portraits and conferences to make money.
CNNGo: What do you want to do with your photos?
Wang: I'm planning to write a book about my experiences, illustrated with my photos. I hope to stage an exhibition later this year.
