Smith Succeeds Ron Hubbard, Who Is Retiring After 28 Years

ARLINGTON, VA--(Marketwired - March 31, 2014) - Winrock International announced today that Carol Ann Smith will become the organization's new Vice President of Operations, succeeding Ron Hubbard, who is retiring after 28 years of service with Winrock.

I have admired the work of Winrock and the impact of programs on people's lives and hope in some small way I can contribute to the organization's continued success in the changing development landscape."

FMS Rockets sweep two during break

Friday, April 13, 2012
Alex Brewer (9) drills an RBI triple in the first inning of the Rockets' 11-1 win in Chapel Hill Tuesday night over Liberty. On Monday, Brewer tossed his third no-hitter of the season in a 14-0 win at E.A. Cox. Tribune photos by Anthony S. Puca

The FMS Rockets continued their torrid season with a pair of wins during the spring school break, beginning with a 14-0 run-rule win at E.A. Cox on Monday as ace hurler Alex Brewer twirled his third no-hitter of the campaign.

Brewer, who tossed no-no's versus Eagleville and Westwood earlier in the season, struck out seven Cougar batters in the ballgame and just missed a perfect game, issuing a lone one base on balls in the 58-pitch, five-inning win.

"Brewer did a heck of job, he has pitched strong all year, has been on target and focused all year on the mound," said FMS head coach Bart Joyce. "We also played great defense behind him and made plays, all eight guys played great behind and when a ground ball was hit it was an out."

Forrest wasted no time giving Brewer all the run support he would need as they scored a pair of runs in the first and second innings before exploding for 10 runs in the fourth to finish the job.

"We have put the bat on the ball the last two games and got runs across and there again, it makes the pitchers' job a whole lot easier when they know they got runs coming," said Joyce.

Leadoff man Ryan Yelensky scored four runs in the game, going 2-2 (double) and an RBI and was hit by a pitch twice.

Brewer helped his own cause big time at the plate, driving in four runs with three hits (two doubles) in four at bats.

Jesse Pruitt put up a 2-3 night with two doubles, a walk, two RBIs and a run scored.

Bryce Oliver was beaned twice, had one hit, scored once, and drove in one Rocket runner.

Jordan Jent (1-3, one run scored, two RBIs), Landon Jones (two RBIs, one run scored), and Boone Sweeney (one RBI) rounded out the offense for FMS.

On Tuesday, the Rockets returned to Chapel Hill and took another run-rule win over Liberty, coasting to an easy 11-1 victory over the Patriots.

Yelensky started on the hill for the Rockets and picked up the win, tossing only an inning and a third before some control issues ended his stint.

Landon Jones came on for Yelensky with the bases loaded and two outs, striking out the next two batters to end the frame as Liberty scored once on two walks, a hit batsman, and a passed ball.

"Yelensky was a little off today and you are going to have those days as a pitcher, it just happens," said Joyce. "Jones stepped up to the plate, came in prepared and ready, and did a great job, got strikes most of the time, and got the job done."

FMS third baseman Landon Jones (21) tags out Liberty's Lance Moore (11), trying to steal third in the first inning Tuesday night. Jones would also turn in a yeoman's job on the mound versus Liberty, coming on in the second to toss a scoreless rest of the contest in an 11-1 FMS victory.

The Rockets put up two runs in the bottom of the first on a Yelensky leadoff walk, followed by a Brewer triple and a passed ball.

Brayden Gentry led off the third with a triple to right field and scored on a ball-four passed ball to Jacob Jones with one out.

Jones raced to third on a wild pick-off attempt at third and trotted home on a perfect squeeze bunt by Jordon Jent.

Brayden Gentry (10) bashes a leadoff triple in the second inning versus Liberty.

FMS made it a 5-1 ballgame when Landon Jones walked with the bases loaded, scoring Jent.

Landon Jones escaped a two-on, two-out jam in the top of the third with a strikeout, and in the home half of the frame, Forrest scored on two unearned runs to stretch their lead to 8-1.

Luke Davidson led off the Liberty fourth with a sharp single to center, but was gunned by Sweeney, trying to swipe second.

Landon Jones walked to lead off the home half of the fourth and a double error on an Oliver grounder put Rocket runners on second and third.

After a fly out, Pruitt knocked in Jones with a ground ball and Oliver followed him home on an error on the play to make it 9-1.

Pruitt went to second on the error and Jacob Jones walked and stole second before Jent drove them both home with a single, making it an 11-1 ballgame, entering the fifth inning.

A leadoff walk to Lance Moore gave the Patriots a glimmer of hope, but that was eliminated when Logan Landers lined into a double play.

A single by Will Warner extended the game for a moment before the game ended on a pop-up back to Landon Jones on the mound.

Jones went the final three and three-third innings, giving up no runs on three hits, while striking out seven and walking three Patriot hitters.

FMS (13-3) gets a few days off for the spring break before returning to the diamond next week.

Joyce said, "We are going to give the kids a few days off and come back next week with Lincoln County (Monday at home) before a big game at Lewisburg on Tuesday, and finish up in Moore County on Thursday."

Forrest has lost only one conference game this season to Huntland and is currently holding the number one seed for the upcoming Mid-South Conference Tournament.

Valentine's Day Secret Messages

Source: The Martha Stewart Show, February 2008

Make this fun secret message for that special someone.

When you're finished, make a Secret Message with Sunglasses.

  • Paintbrush

  • Sponge

  • Baking soda

  • Water

  • White watercolor paper

  • Decorative paper and card stock

  • Self-adhesive laminating sheets, or laminating machine

  • Double-sided tape

  • Spray bottle

  • Grape juice (The acid in the grape juice reacts with the baking soda, which is a base, to change the color of the paper, revealing the message.)

  1. In a small bowl, mix equal parts baking soda and water.

  2. Using a paintbrush, write a secret message with the baking soda mixture on a piece of white watercolor paper. You should be able to see the message while it is still wet; if it's hard to see, look at the paper at an angle as you write.

  3. Allow the message to dry completely (about 10 minutes).

  4. Brush off excess baking soda residue with a dry sponge.

  5. To make a water-resistant card, cut pieces of decorative paper or card stock slightly bigger than the secret message paper. Sandwich the card between 2 sheets of laminate material, or run it through a laminating machine.

  6. Using double-sided tape, attach the watercolor paper with the invisible message to the top of the laminated card.

  7. Present the card with a spray bottle of grape juice. Instruct the recipient to spray the grape juice on the card to reveal the secret message. Note: The message must be lying flat until dry or the grape juice (and message!) will drip off.

SUFFOLK, ss. Division of Administrative Law Appeals

Department of Public Health,

v. Docket No. PHNA-08-143

Carol Ouelette,

Appearance for Petitioner:

William N. Kring, Esq.

Kathryn E. Kring, Esq.

PO Box 97
103 West Main Street
Dudley, MA 01571

Appearance for Respondent:

Joel Buenaventura, Esq.

Department of Public Health
250 Washington Street, 2nd floor
Boston, MA 02108

Administrative Magistrate:

Maria A. Imparato, Esq.

Under 42 USC 1396r (e) (2), G. L. c. 111, ss. 72F-72L, and 105 CMR 155.000 et seq., the Department of Public Health (DPH) filed a complaint investigation report with respect to Carol Ouelette, a Certified Nurse Aide ("CNA"), following a finding of abuse of a resident in a long-term care facility. (Exs. 1, 2) Ms. Ouelette filed a request for an adjudicatory hearing on the issue raised in the report. (Ex. 3) I held a pre-hearing conference on April 11, 2008. The parties agreed to seek settlement through alternative sanctions, and agreed to return for a hearing on the merits on May 19 and May 20, 2008 if the matter could not be settled. The parties arrived for hearing on May 19, 2008, but because Respondent's counsel, Mr. Kring, was ill with the flu, I canceled the hearing for that day and asked the parties to return on May 20, 2008.

I held a hearing on May 20, 2008 at the office of the Division of Administrative Law Appeals, 98 North Washington Street, Boston, MA. I admitted documents into evidence. (Exs. 1 - 16) There are three tape cassettes of the hearing.

Testifying on behalf of the DPH were: Karen Bessette, Director of Nurses at Quabog on the Common ("Quabog"), a long-term care facility in West Brookfield; Jennifer Podkowka, a CNA mentor at Quabog; Jenafer Kularski, an Licensed Practical Nurse ("LPN") at Quabog; Jesse Fusco, a Registered Nurse supervisor at Quabog; and Ashley Freniere, a CNA at Quabog.

Carol Ouelette testified on her own behalf. She called Elizabeth Brower, a DPH Surveyor, to testify.

1. Carol Ouelette worked as a CNA at Quabog. In December 2007 she became an LPN. (Testimony)

2. On January 5 - 6, 2008, Ms. Ouelette worked on the 11 p.m. - 7 a.m. shift as a CNA. (Ex. 5)

3. VB is an 86-year-old woman who has lived at Quabog since August 2003. She suffers from dementia, confusion, anxiety, agitation, diabetes and Parkinson's disease. VB requires total care for bathing, grooming and dressing. She is known to be combative and resistant to care. (Exs. 6, 7, 14; Testimony, Bessette)

4. At or about 6:30 a.m. on January 6, 2008, Jennifer Podkowka, a CNA mentor, assigned Ms. Ouelette to provide morning care to VB. Ms. Podkowka told Ms. Ouelette that if VB was too combative, Ms. Ouelette should not bother with VB and take care of other residents. (Testimony, Podkowka; Ex. 10)

5. At or about 6:30 a.m., Jenafer Kularski, an LPN charge nurse, was passing medication when she heard VB yelling out longer and louder than usual. Ms. Kularski went into VB's room to see if she could calm her down. (Testimony, Kularski; Exs. 8, 12)

6. Ms. Kularski entered VB's room and saw Ms. Ouelette standing by the side of VB's bed. Ms. Kularski went to VB's bedside and took VB's hand, rubbed her cheek and explained that Ms. Ouelette was providing morning care. (Testimony, Kularski; Ex. 11)

7. Ms. Ouelette began to change VB's brief. VB was turned slightly on her right side so that Ms. Ouelette could fasten the left side of her brief. VB grabbed Ms. Ouelette's left arm right below the elbow with her left hand. Ms. Ouelette used her right hand to slap VB on the left arm right below her wrist. VB moved her arm away quickly. Ms. Ouelette said to Ms. Kularski, "I didn't hit her hard." (Testimony, Kularski; Exs. 8, 12)

8. Ms. Kularski stayed in the room until Ms. Ouelette had finished VB's morning care. Ms. Kularski then reported the event to her supervisor, Jesse Fusco, RN supervisor. (Testimony, Kularski; Exs. 8, 12)

9. Ms. Kularski said to Ms. Fusco, "I can't believe she just hit her." Ms. Fusco then called the manager on call, and the Director of Nurses, Karen Bessette. Ms. Bessette asked Ms. Fusco to perform a full skin assessment of VB. (Testimony, Fusco; Ex. 8)

10. Ms. Fusco did a skin assessment of VB. She found a bruise on VB's right arm that appeared old because it was green and yellow. She found a newer, small bruise on VB's left forearm that was reddish. (Testimony, Fusco; Exs. 11, 12)

11. Ms. Bessette arrived at the facility at about 7:30 a.m. She took VB into the TV room to look her over. Ms. Bessette saw a discolored bruise on VB's right forearm, and a new bruise on the left arm, just above the wrist knob, with fresh blood. (Testimony, Bessette; Ex. 8)

12. Ms. Bessette checked with Ashely Freniere, a CNA who had provided care to VB on the previous day. Ms. Freniere said that she noticed a bruise on VB's right forearm the previous day, but there was no bruising on VB's left arm on the previous day. (Testimony, Freniere; Ex. 15)

13. Ms. Bessette called Ms. Ouelette and asked her to come to the facility. Ms. Ouelette told Ms. Bessette that VB grabbed her arm during care and was digging in her fingernails. Ms. Ouelette said she did not slap VB, but her hand made a slapping sound when she removed VB's hand from her arm. Ms. Bessette did not see any marks on Ms. Ouelette's arm except for a scratch that Ms. Ouelette said VB was not responsible for. (Testimony, Bessette)

14. Ms. Bessette placed Ms. Ouelette on administrative leave, and faxed a report to the DPH. (Ex. 7)

15. Quabog has a written abuse and neglect policy that is provided to all new staff. The facility holds mandatory monthly meetings that cover the policy. Under the facility policy, physical abuse includes, "but is not limited to, hitting, slapping, pinching, kicking, and so on. Physical abuse also includes controlling behavior through corporal punishment of a resident." (Ex. 4, p. 2)

16. The CNAs have been trained to approach patients with dementia slowly and quietly. They are taught that if the patient is agitated, the CNA can leave and re-approach the patient at a later time. The CNAs are taught not to try to push a patient through care if the patient is agitated. (Testimony, Bessette)

17. VB's care card indicates, "explain procedures prior to care, can yell out and be resistive." (Ex. 6)

18. The DPH investigation concluded that the claim of abuse had been sustained. (Ex. 2)

The Department of Public Health has proven by substantial evidence that Carol Ouelette engaged in physical abuse of patient VB on January 8, 2008 at Quabog on the Common nursing home.

Abuse is defined as physical contact with a patient that results in physical injury, and cannot be justified under any of the exceptions recognized under the regulation. (105 CMR 155.003 (1) (a)(b)(c))

Physical contact with a patient which harms the patient and occurs for the purpose of retaliating against the patient constitutes abuse. (105 CMR 155.003 (4))

On January 8, 2006 the Respondent slapped VB's arm because VB grabbed the Respondent's arm while the Respondent was trying to secure VB's incontinence brief, resulting in a bruise on VB's left arm. The Respondent slapped VB to retaliate against VB for grabbing the Respondent's arm.

In reaching my conclusion I accorded weight to the credible and forthright testimony of Jenafer Kularski who was an eye-witness to the slap. I accorded weight to the fact that Ms. Kularski immediately reported the event to her supervisor, made a notation in the nurse's notes, and then prepared a written statement of the event. Ms. Kularski's version of the event has been consistent and unwavering.

I did not accord weight to the testimony of the Respondent. The Respondent testified at hearing that she did not slap VB's arm; she slapped her own arm close to where VB was grabbing her, in order to shock VB into letting go. The Respondent told the Director of Nurses that she did not slap VB. The Respondent said that she removed VB's hand from her arm and that her hand made a slapping sound when that happened. The Respondent's two statements are inconsistent.

I recommend that DPH take appropriate action in accordance with this decision as required under the provisions of 42 USC 1396r (g) (1) (c).

Gurtner Main jet 60 for Gurtner carburetors. You should always start off with a too-large main jet when going about jetting your carburetor; then decrease jet size in steps of 5 until your engine is running fine.

Run your scooter with open throttle for a short time and then cut the engine dead, remove the spark plug and take a look at it. If it is black or/and overly oily, the mixture is too rich and you'll have to decrease jet size. If it is whitish, the mixture is too lean, which can lead to engine seizure! A proper mixture is indicated by a medium brownish/reddish spark plug.

Jet size: 60.

Prolonged blood sugar extremes — blood sugar that's either too high or too low for too long — may cause various conditions, all of which can lead to a diabetic coma.

  • Diabetic ketoacidosis. If your muscle cells become starved for energy, your body may respond by breaking down fat stores. This process forms toxic acids known as ketones. Left untreated, diabetic ketoacidosis can lead to a diabetic coma.

    Diabetic ketoacidosis is most common in people who have type 1 diabetes, but it can also affect people who have type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes.

  • Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome. If your blood sugar level tops 600 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 33.3 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), the condition is known as diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome.

    When your blood sugar gets this high, your blood becomes thick and syrupy. The excess sugar passes from your blood into your urine, which triggers a filtering process that draws tremendous amounts of fluid from your body.

    Left untreated, diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome can cause life-threatening dehydration and a diabetic coma. Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome is most common in middle-aged and older adults who have type 2 diabetes.

  • Hypoglycemia. Your brain needs glucose to function. In severe cases, low blood sugar may cause you to pass out. Hypoglycemia can be caused by too much insulin or not enough food. Exercising too vigorously or drinking too much alcohol can have the same effect.

    Signs and symptoms are influenced by the severity of the hypoglycemia. With longstanding diabetes, however, you may lose the early warning signs — such as hunger, shakiness and perspiration — and may only develop symptoms when your blood sugar is dangerously low. This is called hypoglycemia unawareness.

Tips for Your Candy Buffet & Centerpieces

5 Tips for the Perfect Candy Buffet and Candy Centerpieces from the Experts at CandyWarehouse

DIY Candy Buffet TipsEveryone loves candy, right? So including a candy buffet or candy centerpieces at your Bar or Bat Mitzvah or wedding is a win-win way to make sure your guests remember the celebration long after it passes. Not only does candy add a bit of nostalgic fun and whimsy to your motif, it also acts as a conversation-starter and a way to turn people who once were strangers into friends with shared memories. The experts at CandyWarehouse share their five best tips for a fabulous candy buffet.

Candy Buffet, Orange & Pink

Orange & Pink Theme Candy Buffet from CandyWarehouse

Building a candy buffet is a fun part of party planning. Ignite your creative energies by decorating your candy table, choosing specific styles of containers, filling them with candies that correspond to your event’s theme and devising a plan for your guests to take candy home as do-it-yourself party favors.

Candy provides a wonderful color palette that can be displayed in a multitude of ways, especially when you feature candy in various shapes, flavors, color shades and sizes. Variety not only makes candy buffets and dessert tables visually attractive, it also appeals to the differing tastes and preferences of your guests.

Rainbow Candy Buffet Table

Rainbow Candy Buffet from CandyWarehouse

Just like great landscaping or flower arranging, an aesthetically pleasing candy buffet or dessert table will present items at a variety of height levels. Not every jar and container will be the same height as another. You can even have a few tall containers presented as visual displays or centerpieces and then have many jars of the same height and size for actual sampling purposes. Of course, you could purchase containers in different heights to achieve this effect, but with a little creativity you can use one of our suggested techniques.

Orange Buffet Table Ideas & Tips

Orange Buffet Table from CandyWarehouse

To create different levels, find a few objects (e.g. dishware, books, paperweights, anything that is heavy and flat to provide a solid platform) that vary in height, and place them underneath your tablecloth using them as stands for your candy containers. If you aren’t using a tablecloth you can opt to purchase clear acrylic risers from any arts and crafts store to create height differentials. Or, you can get creative and employ interesting and artistic objects as risers and incorporate them into your candy buffet theme. The different ways you can present a candy buffet are limitless, but creating some height differentials will make it more interesting.

Although color is great, too many can detract from creating an artistic impression. In general, we suggest that you stick to two to three main colors that complement each other and present your guests with at least three to four different candies of the same color. Slightly varying shades of these colors are fine, and can be visually appealing! This way, your color scheme and overall color message comes through in the presentation. Keep your focus on one of the following groups: cheery primary colors, heroic complementary colors, reckless neons, or muted pastels. Or, go monochromatic and showcase a number of eye catching hues of a single color!

Single Color Candy Buffet

Purple Candy Buffet, White Candy Buffet Table

Purple, White Monochrome Candy Buffet from CandyWarehouse

Multi-Color Candy Buffet

Fall Multi-Color Buffet Table

Multi-Color Fall Buffet from CandyWarehouse

Finally, consider using candy as your displays, centerpieces AND party favors all at the same time! Here’s how:

Pink Candy Buffet Display Containers

Different Sized Candy Display Containers from CandyWarehouse

1. Purchase three different types of containers of differing heights that hold three to five pounds of candy. Place all three containers in the center of each reception table and fill each one with a different type of candy. Continue doing this for each reception table. For example, if you have ten tables you will have 30 different types of candy displayed.

Candy Party  Gift Bags

Gourmet Candy Bags & White Organza Bag from CandyWarehouse

  1. Provide little containers (think organza bags, Chinese takeout boxes, etc.) for each guest. Let the containers serve as seating cards or something a guest can pick up as he or she enters the reception. In or on the containers you can also provide a map or list of tables indicating at which locations the various candies can be found.
  2. Before the formal reception begins, guests will walk around finding their seats, visiting other tables and filling their containers with some of their favorite candies, creating custom favors!

And the most important tip we can give: Have fun and enjoy your celebration!

Thanks to the experts at CandyWarehouse for these great suggestions.  Find more inspiration and an amazing variety of candy at CandyWarehouse.

NBC continues its something-borrowed approach to programming with this 13-part BBC series about the medieval magic man (Colin Morgan) and his pal Arthur (Bradley James).

SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIAL: The platform holder's perspective

James Batchelor
SOCIAL MEDIA SPECIAL: The platform holder's perspective

For our Social Media Special, PlayStation Access community manager Michael Shillingford explains how Sony is getting fans involved in its latest releases

First of all, there is the impact of the PlayStation brand which naturally brings a lot of followers and fans to our pages.

Cross pollination of content across multiple social channels helps us keep the interest and audience engaged wherever they prefer to interact with the brand. We prioritise social channels when we have announcements to make about upcoming products and therefore it's really the news content that creates the buzz on our channels. Finally our community is passionate about the brand and we always try to interact with our users by asking questions around their passion for gaming.

Our channels are all localised across all of our markets and managed by our local teams, this helps with delivering relevant content that our community can engage with.

Our consumers have high expectations of content created by PlayStation. When it comes to our quarterly mag and our weekly video show in particular, we have really high production values. That said, making sure that we're conversing with our fans about the messages we're giving them is more important. We always spend plenty of time looking at the comments under our posts and responding to them, whether it's answering a question they have or just reacting to something positive they've said. We think those direct interactions with us mean a lot to our fans and we know they're more likely to keep coming back if we converse with them.??

PlayStation has always had a good relationship with its fans, cultivating open dialogue between the company and consumers with initiatives like the PlayStation Blog as well as our community engaging with each other on the very popular PlayStation forums. PlayStation Access allows us to showcase everything great about PlayStation in the UK as well as providing us with the platform to reward our community with money can't buy experiences. We are then able to hero the community themselves through channels such as Access TV broadening the reach and appeal of our loyal fanbase.

From the metrics and feedback we get from our social activity, we know that our community want offers, discounts and "money can't buy" gaming stuff from the developers, publishers and retailers that PlayStation is connected to. Our next step is to get those guys interacting directly with our community through our channels – giving PlayStation fans the things they want and promoting PlayStation products at the same time.??

On other social networks, Followers and page Likes are purely an indication of growth, they don't represent the actual audience of our content. Instead we look to see how many people actually interacted with our posts - the number of comments, shares, retweets and replies are the stats that get us excited. When we see those numbers go sky high, we know that whatever we just posted was awesome and that our audience want more of it.

Access is still an infant at 10 months old – we're still finding new ways that it can help the business. We've already showcased pre-release software at events designed for our community (and then encouraged them to share their experiences of it), widened our audience by celebrating gaming culture through our magazine and video show; we've even asked our community to rate how sexy our new Scarlet Red PS3 is (11/10, apparently) and seen them get really, really excited about buying it as a result.

The people in our community are really important to us and we're at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to unlocking their value.

Milan, 26 th April 2012 - Black Bean Games and Milestone have today released the latest development diary episode for their upcoming motocross racing title MUD FIM Motocross World Championship . The latest installment focuses on game play and game modes with a guest star: Italian rider Tony Cairoli who is a five time Motocross World Champion (MX1 and MX2) and currently a rider for the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team.

Tony Cairoli commented: I’m glad I got a chance to try MUD FIM Motocross World Championship for myself. It’s great fun and the only game to have the official license for the motocross world championship. You can choose all the riders from both MX1 and MX2 categories… Players are going to love it. Motocross for me means speed, mud and glory, the three words I tattooed on my back.  I really enjoy finding these three features in MUD!”.” He continued, “ An amazing feature of Milestone’s title is definitely the scrub. It's a typical Motocross maneuver and is used very often for overtaking by spending as short a time as possible in the air: try to complete the jump and land before your adversary. Being able to use the scrub makes the game very realistic, and I hope that many players have fun riding my virtual bike or one of their favourite champions!”

As the only Motocross game in the current season , MUD FIM Motocross World Championship will deliver on launch day a package full of fun and adrenaline thanks to recreating the MX1 and MX2 championships, as well as the amazing Monster Energy FIM Motocross of Nations and The Monster Energy Trick Battle Mode.

Creamy Potato Soup

I like this recipe. Very easy. I set up items such as shredded cheese,sour creme,chives and bacon and let the family add their owne items like they do to baked potatoes. They love it.

- Anna Williams from

Potato Soup

I sauted some diced shallots and then added 1/2 cup Dry Vermouth to the soup. Wow! That made it seem like it was made from Julia Child!

- Kathy Femrite from Carrollton, TX

I think this is an excellent recipe. I have been cooking since the age of ten but never made Potato Soup. I hate it, but my husband loves it. I doubled the recipe for a large family and leftovers. Instead of oil though I fried the bacon in with celery onions and fresh garlic, then finished the recipe as specified, but let it simmer for about 40 minutes to incorporate the flavor. My family loved it. Even my three year old and I really enjoyed. It turned out quite wonderful. I will fix this again.

- Trisha Ritter from SC

The soup has a wonderful flavor and is easy to make.

- Lucy Sharp from Lizella, GA

Potato Soup

This is a very good soup. I have added sausage balls and some grated chedder (left out bacon). I have also added broccoli and used low fat Carnation milk.

GOP Civil War: Frank Luntz Lashes Out At Right-Wing Talk Radio

Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ

In the latest salvo in a Republican Party civil war that shows no signs of stopping, CBS political analyst and GOP consultant Frank Luntz criticized Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and others in right-wing talk radio for attacking Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) over his support for immigration reform.

Luntz's comments came during an April 22 talk at the University of Pennsylvania.  According to Mother Jones, Luntz asked to go off the record after being questioned about political polarization because he was concerned his comments could have repercussions. One of the students in the audience then started to record Luntz without the consultant's knowledge.

In that video, Luntz says:

And they get great ratings, and they drive the message, and it's really problematic. And this is not on the Democratic side. It's only on the Republican side...[inaudible]. [Democrats have] got every other source of news on their side. And so that is a lot of what's driving it. If you take -- Marco Rubio's getting his ass kicked. Who's my Rubio fan here? We talked about it. He's getting destroyed! By Mark Levin, by Rush Limbaugh, and a few others. He's trying to find a legitimate, long-term effective solution to immigration that isn't the traditional Republican approach, and talk radio is killing him. That's what's causing this thing underneath. And too many politicians in Washington are playing coy.

Since the 2012 election, Republican media figures and activists have been engaged in often intense debates over who to blame for the party's electoral failures and what the party's future direction should be. Luntz's comments provide more fuel for that fire.

  • Pssst... Sunday rivals of ABC's This Week, the ball is in your court

    Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH

    For a while now Media Matters Action Network, our partner organization, has been offering up fact-checks of the vaunted Sunday morning network political talk shows. Media Matters president Eric Burns announced the endeavor in January:

    Every Sunday morning, some of the country's most powerful and influential legislators, government officials, journalists, and newsmakers appear as guests on network talk shows. The programs -- ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, NBC's Meet the Press, and Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday -- occupy a unique place in our media landscape. As the agenda-setters for the next week's worth of political news, they shape conventional wisdom and determine the terms of debate on crucial issues.

    These shows also present a critical opportunity to educate the public and correct damaging misinformation -- a responsibility that too often fails to be met. As New York University journalism professor Jay Rosen has explained, the Sunday show format is broken. Shows like Meet the Press and Face the Nation routinely serve largely as hyper-partisan forums that provide little in the way of fact-checking.

    To begin addressing these problems, Rosen offered a simple and valuable suggestion: in order to hold politicians and media figures accountable, the networks should produce mid-week fact-checks of the statements made on their Sunday shows. It was an idea that quickly received the support of CNN's Howard Kurtz.

    We're not holding our breath while the network heads decide whether or not to act. Instead, we're announcing the creation of a new Media Matters product. Every Monday morning, the Media Matters Action Network will publish a memo correcting the conservative misinformation that was left unchallenged the day before. Over time, we hope that our work will help contribute to a culture of accountability that is currently lacking on Sunday morning.

    Good thing we didn't hold our breath because it took nearly four months for one of the shows to move on the idea.

    ABC's This Week, which announced last month that CNN's Christiane Amanpour will be taking over as host, is set to make another major change. Writing about Rosen's suggested fact-checking of the Sunday shows,'s Bill Adair makes the announcement:

    Jake Tapper, the interim host of This Week, liked the suggestion and asked us to fact-check the show on a trial basis. So starting this Sunday, we'll be fact-checking the newsmakers who appear on the program. We'll post the items on our home page and on the show's Web site. The items will also be archived on PolitiFact's This Week page, so you'll be able to check back periodically and see how the newsmakers are doing.

    It's great to see Tapper -- who regularly seeks input for the show on Twitter as well -- take this great advice, even if it is only on a "trial basis" thus far. Perhaps Amanpour will follow Tapper's lead and make the partnership permanent when she takes over hosting duties.

    So, to the other Sunday shows -- NBC's Meet the Press, CBS' Face the Nation, Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday (and the cable/syndicated ones too, you know who you are) -- the ball is officially in your court.

  • The Other Eric Burns

    Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH

    More often than you'd think, Media Matters president Eric Burns is confused for former Fox News host Eric Burns. Well, the other Eric Burns (the former Fox News one, not the Media Matters one) has a pretty great piece up over on the Huffington Post about his former employer, here are some choice excerpts but be sure to read the entire thing:

    I am not the Eric Burns who heads Media Matters, the liberal watchdog group. I am the Eric Burns who used to host Fox News Watch on the right-wing partial-news-but-mostly-opinion network. In the past year and a half, since departing from Ailes and friends, I have been much more silent about media matters than my namesake.

    I speak out now because it is the time of year when one is supposed to count blessings. I have several. Among them is that I do not have to face the ethical problem of sharing an employer with Glenn Beck.

    Actually, Beck is a problem of taste as well as ethics. He laughs and cries; he pouts and giggles; he makes funny faces and grins like a cartoon character; he makes earnest faces yet insists he is a clown; he cavorts like a victim of St. Vitus's Dance. His means of communicating are, in other words, so wide-ranging as to suggest derangement as much as versatility.

    I ask myself what I would have done if I worked at Fox now. Would I have quit, as the estimable Jane Hall did? Once a panelist on my program, Hall departed for other reasons as well, but Beck was a particular source of embarrassment to her, even though they never shared a studio, perhaps never even met.

    I think . . . I think the answer to my question does not do me proud. I think, more concerned about income than principle, I would have continued to work at Fox, but spent my spare time searching avidly for other employment. I think I would not have been as admirable as Jane Hall. I think I would not have reacted to Beck with the probity I like to think I possess.

    But, in my defense, I would never have gone out in public without wearing those funny black eyeglasses with no glass, bushy eyebrows and a fake nose.

  • Fox News Watch announcer teased NIE discussion by referring to "Iran's nukes"

    ››› ››› BRIAN LEVY

    On Fox News Watch, an announcer teased a discussion about coverage of the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran by stating: "Iran's nukes. The president claims a new intelligence report proves Iran still dangerous." In fact, the NIE said: "We continue to assess with moderate-to-high confidence that Iran does not currently have a nuclear weapon."

  • Fox News' Eric Burns ignored report that Fox also had Foley emails

    ››› ››› KURT DONALDSON

    Fox News Watch host Eric Burns stated that "the St. Petersburg Times and The Miami Herald in Florida," as well as ABC News, all had "known about" leaked copies of email messages allegedly sent by former Rep. Mark Foley (R-FL) to a 16-year-old male former congressional page, but he ignored a report that Fox News was also a recipient of the leaked emails.

Superfoods are popping up everywhere. From kale to spirulina, it seems like everywhere you go there is a new food to eat and a new trend to follow. Quinoa is one of those superfoods that has health nuts obsessed because of its versatility. It dates back over 3,000 years ago and is said to have twice as much fiber as other grains. It's also rich in protein and contains iron. Quinoa is largely produced by Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador and has become increasingly popular all over the world, including the United States. Below are a few ways you can spice and sweeten up your quinoa, making it a perfect food for any meal of the day.

Breakfast: Yogurt with Toasted Quinoa, Dates, and Almonds

½ tablespoon red quinoa

5 shelled pistachios (raw or salted, either will work), chopped

5 almonds, chopped

6 oz. whole milk Greek yogurt

2 medjool dates, pitted and chopped

Pinch of freshly grated lemon zest

Flaky sea salt or other coarse salt — or olive salt if you can get hold of some

1 to 2 teaspoons best quality olive oil

1.  Heat the oven to 350 degrees.

2.  Pour the quinoa into a small sauté pan and place over medium heat. Toast the quinoa — it will begin popping when it's toasted, and as soon as it does, pour it into a bowl to cool.

3. Spread the pistachios and almonds in a small baking dish and toast in the oven for 5 minutes.

4.  Remove and let cool.

5.  Spread the yogurt on a small plate or shallow bowl. Sprinkle on the quinoa, pistachios, almonds, and dates.

6. Fleck with lemon zest and sea salt, and finish with a sprinkling of olive oil.

Lunch: Warm Quinoa Salad with Edamame & Tarragon

1 cup quinoa, toasted

2 cups vegetable broth

2 cups frozen shelled edamame, thawed (10 oz.)

1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon or 2 teaspoons dried

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup drained and diced jarred roasted red peppers, (3 oz.)

¼ cup chopped walnuts, preferably toasted (see Cooking Tip)

1. Toast quinoa in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring often, until it becomes aromatic and begins to crackle, about 5 minutes.

2. Transfer to a fine sieve and rinse thoroughly.

3. Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the quinoa and return to a boil.

4.  Cover, reduce heat to a simmer and cook gently for 8 minutes.

5.  Remove the lid and, without disturbing the quinoa, add edamame.

6.  Cover and continue to cook until the edamame and quinoa are tender, 7 to 8 minutes longer.

7.  Drain any remaining water, if necessary.

8. Whisk lemon zest and juice, oil, tarragon and salt in a large bowl. Add peppers and the quinoa mixture. Toss to combine.

9. Divide among 4 plates and top with walnuts.

Dinner: Curried Quinoa

2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup quinoa

2 cups chicken broth

1 tablespoon curry powder, or to taste

1 tablespoon ancho chile powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook and stir for 2 minutes; add quinoa and cook and stir until lightly toasted, about 5 minutes.

2. Pour broth into the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and add curry and chile powders; cover and simmer until tender, about 25 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Dessert: Quinoa “Almond Joy” Bars

1/3  cup (dry) quinoa

2/3 cup water

12 whole dates, no sugar added

½  cup whole almonds with skins

1/3 cup grated coconut (unsweetened), I used freshly grated coconut

2-3 teaspoons water

¼  cup dark chocolate chips, for gluten-free chips, I use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

1.  Add quinoa and water to a small saucepan, cover and bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer and cook approximately 15 minutes or until all water has been absorbed.

2. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate at least 2 hours (overnight will work). One cup cooked quinoa can be used if already made.

3. Using a food processor, add dates and pulse until they form a ball. Remove dates and place in a bowl.

4. Add almonds to the food processor and pulse until finely minced. Be careful not to turn the almonds into mill.

5. Add dates, almonds, coconut and quinoa to the food processor and pulse until ingredients are well combined.

6. Return ingredients to the mixing bowl, and add one teaspoon of water at a time, until mixture holds together.

7. Shape into 14 mini bars or balls.

8.  In a small saucepan, add chocolate chips and melt over low heat or in a double-boiler.

9. Drizzle warm chocolate over the top of each bar.

10. Refrigerate and allow chocolate to harden. Bars can be stored in an airtight container for several days or frozen in a freezer safe dish.

Who doesn’t love a friendly dog, whose only purpose — seemingly — is to bring them happiness? That’s exactly what it’s like with Rusty, the 8-year-old chocolate Labrador who has spent the past six years spreading love and happy thoughts throughout the Toulon Rehabilitation and Health Care Center in Toulon, Ill.

Rusty’s life has been pretty good since he was found by the sister of the nursing home’s administrator, Sue VanDeRostyne, in 2008, when he was a stray running through her backyard. Since then, he’s brought happiness to many a resident, cheering them up by being a dog to lean on — especially among those who have Alzheimer’s or dementia.

“They just lighten up,” VanDeRostyne told McKnight’s, a site dedicated to long-term care and assisted living news. “Rusty gets called so many different names because people who have had dogs in the past call him ‘Brownie’ or ‘Missy.’ He’ll go over to them, he’ll come and walk right over to the wheelchair and will stay until they’re done petting him.”

Besides offering companionship, Rusty also helps with therapy. One resident, for example, refused to participate in therapy, but the nursing home staff knew that he loved Rusty. They made him believe that he was just throwing the ball for Rusty to fetch, but it was really a way “to get him to do that activity, and they’d do their therapy session together,” VanDeRostyne told McKnight’s.

If you want to see Rusty’s love in action, check out the video below.

GENERIC NAME: nateglinide

DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Nateglinide is an oral drug used to lower blood sugar (glucose) levels in type 2 diabetes. It is in a class of drugs called meglitinides which also includes repaglinide (Prandin). Approximately 90% of patients with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes usually occurs in adults and is associated with obesity and a strong family history of diabetes. Insulin is an important hormone that controls the blood level of glucose. Type 2 diabetics have an inability to control blood glucose levels. This is caused by reduced secretion of insulin from the pancreas after meals and resistance of the body's cells to the effect of insulin which is to stimulate the cells to remove glucose from the blood. This leads to high levels of blood glucose. Nateglinide stimulates cells in the pancreas to produce insulin in a manner similar to the class of drugs called sulfonylureas, for example, glyburide (Diabeta, Glynase and Micronase), which also are used in type 2 diabetes. However, nateglinide appears to have a faster onset and a shorter duration of action than sulfonylureas. The benefit of this faster, shorter effect may be to prevent the rapid, transient rise in blood glucose that occurs in diabetics immediately following a meal. Nateglinide was approved by the FDA in December 2000.

Leilani Munter: Vegan Speed Racer!

Lei.jpgNASCAR fans are in for a big surprise on the racetrack. Racer Leilani Munter, who is known for supporting environmental causes, plans to raise more than a few eyebrows when she debuts her "VegNation" racecar to promote a vegan lifestyle.

In a culture that's known more for steak than seitan, Munter is looking forward to opening a dialog with racing enthusiasts about reducing their meat consumption and encouraging them to find vegan alternatives to the foods they already love. Munter explains: "If you were to look at my fridge, it would look very similar to somebody else just down the street. It's just my sausage links will be a vegan version of that."

Many of environmentalist Munter's fans have confided in her that they can't afford expensive electric cars or solar panels and feel frustrated about what they can do to help the planet. She plans on urging people to scale back on eating animal-based products by explaining their negative impacts on the environment and climate change.

She is also happy to talk to people about health and animal cruelty issues as well. "It's just better for our climate, the animals, our own bodies--whatever reason they decide to look at that change, that's what I want to focus on."
