FINALLY, A SPEAKER THAT LOOKS AS GOOD AS IT SOUNDS: We're design-obsessed music lovers from Brooklyn who were tired of playing our favorite tunes on impersonal techy speakers. So we handcrafted Bongo, a portable Bluetooth speaker with the stylish looks and unique design to match your lifestyle. Each wireless speaker is handmade from natural bamboo wood and styled like a vintage analog radio, featuring cotton tweed speaker covers and brass screws.
CRYSTAL CLEAR SOUND QUALITY: Premium drivers and dual passive subwoofers (rear) provide 360° degree sound with crisp highs, strong midrange and deep bass. Bamboo resonates better for warm sound and enhanced bass.
PREMIUM BATTERY LIFE AND RANGE: 30 feet of wireless range and 15 hours of battery life let you listen all day without recharging.
PERFECT FOR HOME, TRAVEL OR THE OUTDOORS: Lightweight yet rugged, toss it in your carry-on luggage, beach bag or backpack. Enjoy music at home while cooking, in the shower, or lounging by the pool.
COMPATIBLE CONNECTIVITY: Super easy to pair, Bluetooth 4.0 seamlessly connects with any iPhone, iPad, Mac, Tablet, Smartphone, Computer, or Chromebook in seconds.
Geneva, Oslo, Cartagena, Sao Paulo. We love to travel. We've lived all over the world. And we wanted to create a speaker that would make the journey with us. Something that evoked our wanderlust, our passion for new experiences and our lifestyle. After all, tomorrow we could wake up and decide to go somewhere we've never been before. And for that, we have the Bongo.
But it's not all about travel. We're also committed makers and love our home of Brooklyn, NY. It's here that we've spent a lot of time perfecting the Bongo -- taking the time to ensure the Bongo would delight its owners for years to come.
Sometime soon, whether you're far off hanging with newfound friends, or home with familiar ones, we hope you'll have a Bongo by your side.
Bongo is stylish and has a warm, natural sound. The entire device is encased in smooth, 100 percent natural bamboo with a vintage linen speaker cloth. Bamboo resonates better than metal or plastic for warm tones and rich playback that really stands out. Classic in design, the Bongo speaker streams music over Bluetooth for up to 15 hours per charge (via the included micro USB cable). Users can also connect with a 3.5 mm audio cable. Beneath the bamboo exterior is a pair of 1.5-inch powered drivers made with rare earth magnets and two 1.75-inch bass woofers.


40 wooded and rolling scenic acres just south of Cadillac off M-115. Located on a county maintained road. A small cabin is included that has been finished on the inside with knotty pine. No well or septic installed. Excellent hunting and building site on this hilltop setting.


Nothing is tastier and healthier than Tex-Mex food from family-run taquerias and restaurants in the Florida citrus areas and in our border states of Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California. In the best places, the music is Latin, the newspapers are in Spanish, and the owners and customers are Hispanic. See the photo of chcken the Chicken Enchelada dinner I enjoyed at Rosita's in Florida City. Buen Provecho!
Bake for about 25 minutes. Pan can be covered or uncovered; it works both ways.
Best choice for health is a corn taco. But if you deep-fry either type of tortilla i.e. flour or corn, they'll both come up loaded with grease and calories. So go for the "soft" taco option whenever you can.
When dining out Mexican, you inevitably end up face-to-face with a basket of tempting tortilla chips. If you can enjoy one big handful of chips and then hold off until your meal comes, you'll add about 140 calories (with about half the calories coming from fat). So if you can't stop at a handful, you might want to move that basket to the table next to you. When you're serving Tex-Mex at home, skip the chips in favor of a crunchy platter of crudites, or have a reasonable portion of the baked version.

Steam-heat 10 or 12 corn tortillas; shred about 1 1/4 cups of cooked chicken into a skillet and warm with a moistening of the sauce. Roll a portion of the filling into each tortilla, lay them in a baking dish, douse with more of the hot sauce and sprinkle with about 1 1/2 cups of grated Chihuahua or other melting cheese. Broil until browned and bubbly, then serve topped with rings of white onion.
Tomatillos are wonderfully adaptable. Sure, any dish that employs them for sauciness will showcase their lovely, earthy-green tartness. But depending on which steps of preparation are chosen, what balance of flavors in the dish and what variety is at hand, tomatillos can contribute a wide range of flavors.
This simmered sauce is the perfect example of the tomatillo's congeniality. For a light (both in color and flavor), bright sauce that's great for fish or enchiladas, I've given directions for barely boiling the tomatillos during the first stage of preparation. For a rich, more complex sauce that I love with beef or lamb, there are directions for roasting the tomatillos first. A thorough frying of the tomatillo puree mellows the tartness by concentrating the sweetness. The richer-flavored the broth (meat broth being the richest in flavor), the more genial the sauce. And, if it seems appropriate for your finished dish, incorporating practically any dairy product (from yogurt or cream in the sauce, to fresh, aged or melted cheese over the dish), offers even more balance.
The roasting method: Lay the tomatillos and chiles on a baking sheet and place about 4 inches below a very hot broiler. When the tomatillos and chiles blister, blacken and soften on one side, about 5 minutes, turn them over and roast the other side.
The boiling method: Half fill a medium (2- to 3-quart) saucepan with water, salt generously and bring to a boil. Add the tomatillos and chiles and simmer vigorously over medium heat until the tomatillos have softened a little and lost their brightness everywhere except on the indented stem end, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and cool.
Transfer tomatillos, chiles and any accumulated juices to a food processor or blender.
2. The puree. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a deep, medium-large (9- or 10-inch) heavy skillet over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until deep golden, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook a minute longer, then scrape the browned mixture into the processor or blender. If using a blender, cover it loosely. Now, pulse whatever machine you're using to reduce the ingredients to a rough-looking puree smooth enough to hold together, but rough enough to keep it from that uninteresting baby-food blahness.
3. Finishing the sauce. Wipe the skillet clean; then heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high. When hot enough to make a drop of the puree sizzle sharply, pour it in all at once and stir constantly for 4 or 5 minutes, as your sauce base sears and sizzles into a darker and thicker mass. (You'll notice that characteristic roasty, tangy aroma fill the kitchen.) Stir in the broth, let return to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer briskly until thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. (You can check the consistency by spooning a little on a plate: If it looks watery, solids separating quickly from the broth, simmer it longer; if it mounds thickly, stir in a little broth or water.) Stir in cilantro, then taste and season with salt.
Advance Preparation — The sauce can be prepared 4 or 5 days ahead. If frozen, whiz it in the blender or processor to get it back to a beautiful texture.
Other Chiles You Can Use — Fresh jalapeños can stand in for the serranos.
Stir together the crema and milk in a small mixing bowl. lightly salt and set side. In a medium saucepan or deeper skillet, melt the butter with the 2 Tbl. oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and green onions and cook about 2 minutes, until the onions are softened.
Add the crabmeat, chile strips and 1 c. of the thinned crema, reserving the rest to use as a topping. Lower the heat and continue cooking for 5 to 8 minutes, stirring very gently. Add pepper to taste. This can be prepared to this point ahead of time and then reheated.
Warm the 1/4 c. oil in a skillet. Press each tortilla into the hot oil with a spatula until they just soften, a few seconds at most. Drain tortillas on paper towels. Continue until all the tortillas are cooked.
Place an equal amount of filling across the center of each tortilla. Roll them up and put them side by side in a lightly greased baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top, and sprinkle the grated cheese over the top.
Cover pan with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped cilantro and sliced white onion tops.
Serving suggestion: lots of fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and any other toppings you enjoy.
with 1/4 teaspoon of water. Heat for up 45-60 seconds. Roll immediately.
A great recipe! Let's Dish chef Chris Koetke shows how to make fresh salsa verde sauce with tomatillos and then put it all together for delicious enchiladas. Looks like a good recipe to make for a crowd. Make the Salsa Verde first. Click on image for link to video to see how easy it is to make it in a blender.
Roast poblano peppers in a 425 degree oven for approximately 10-15 minutes or until skin is browned and bubbling. Place them in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap so that they steam. About 30 minutes later, remove skin and seeds. Slice thinly.
Heat oil in a pan. Saute sliced onion until translucent. Mix in sliced poblano peppers, thyme, salt, and oregano. Saute for another 3 minutes, remove from heat, and reserve.
Put 1/2 cup salsa in the bottom of a 9 x 13" baking dish.
Heat tortillas in microwave until warm, about 10 seconds (do about 4 at a time).
Place 1 cup salsa in a shallow bowl. Dip tortilla in salsa.
Fill tortillas with shredded chicken, half of the cheese, and half of the poblano/onion mixture and roll up.
Place rolled tortillas, seam side down, in the baking dish.
Cover with the remaining salsa.
Spread remaining poblano/onion mixture on top of the enchiladas.
Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top of enchiladas.
Bake in a 350 degree oven until heated through and cheese has melted, approximately 30 minutes.
NOTE: Use left-over chicken. If you use fresh chicken, simmer it in seasoned chicken broth until it is tender and cooked through.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. In a food processor, purée the salsa and cilantro until smooth. Add the sour cream and pulse to combine. Spread 1 cup of the salsa mixture in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Transfer the remaining mixture to a medium bowl.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 1 minute. Add the zucchini and cook, tossing, for 1 minute. Stir in the coriander, chili powder, and 1 teaspoon salt; remove from heat. Add the chicken and 3/4 cup Muenster cheese and mix to combine.
Wrap the tortillas in a double layer of damp paper towels; microwave on high until soft, about 1 minute (be careful of the steam when removing). Working with one tortilla at a time, dip in the reserved salsa mixture, shaking off any excess. Place on a cutting board, top with 1/2 cup of the filling, roll up, and place, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Spoon any remaining salsa mixture on top. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese and bake until the cheese begins to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Serve with chopped onion and cilantro, if desired.

America's Nurses: Pediatric Nurse Ann W. Loves Working with Children
NursingJanuary 25, 2014
Ann W., a New York pediatric nurse, has always had a desire to work with infants and children. "It was basically the whole reason that I decided to become a nurse," she said. Immediately after high school, Ann went to college and earned her registered nursing license. During this time, she was dating someone, became engaged and after graduation, she got married. "I absolutely adore kids, and I wanted a big family," Ann said. "We started right away." During this time, Ann was working in a pediatrician's office, but she wanted to work at the local hospital where she felt like she could make more of a difference in the lives of children and their families. In the same year, she become pregnant and started her new job as a pediatric nurse, a field that she immediately fell in love with.
"There are so many sick children out there, and they are often alone in the hospital, as their parents must go to work," Ann noted. "I love caring for them, as a mother would until their family arrives to be with them." She stated that there are challenges in dealing with children, but this is because they are sick and afraid. "My job as a pediatric nurse is to care for them not only physically, but emotionally. I feel so rewarded when I am able to calm a young child and he falls asleep in my arms. I know then that I have done my job. I know that they are finally comfortable and that I was a part of making that happen."
This profession is a specialty and requires some additional pediatric nurse training. "The abused children are the most heart wrenching cases," Ann said. "I rock those kids in my arms for hours. I never want to put them down. When they go home, I worry about them the most." Ann noted that there are numerous courses that have to be taken regarding a child's health. Even though a nurse may be out of school, they never stop learning.
Ann feels lucky to have found the profession of her dreams. "The joy and rewards of this type of nursing though are magnified greatly. Once you do this type of nursing, you may never want to go back to anything else."

Whats the excitement about Freeze Dried Raw?
What exactly is the freeze drying process?. When a food is freeze dried, first it's flash frozen at an ultra-low temperature.
Next, the moisture is removed via a vacuum process. Because bacteria and other microorganisms need water to survive, freeze-dried foods are preserved in a safe way without the use of chemical preservatives or additives.
Raw freeze dried treats aren't necessarily new but with the food trends leaning more towards all natural foods without any of the chemicals or artificial preservatives used, many dog owners are looking for a more natural treat for their loved ones.
Most freeze-dried raw treats contain an absolute minimum of ingredients. This is a huge point for dog owners worried about allergies, as every additional ingredient poses a risk. As mentioned above, the freeze drying process itself preserves the treat naturally, so added chemicals aren't needed to create a long shelf life.
The overwhelming majority of dog treats on the market are dehydrated. Dehydration isn't necessarily terrible, but it does use high heat that kills a lot of the nutrients that are present in raw meat. Raw meat leaves nutrients as unadulterated and potent as possible, the way the Ancestral Prey Diet of dogs would have eaten in the wild.
There's nothing more natural for dogs, whose digestive systems have developed over millennia to handle the raw meat that they would consume in the wild.
However, we care more about the health of your dog than whether or not you buy our specific product.
We encourage you to do your own research on freeze dried as we did. We trust you'll agree with us on the benefits, and make the best choice for your dog!

Background. Children's exposure to tobacco smoke is known to have adverse health effects, and most parents try to protect their children.
Objective. To examine the effectiveness of parents' precautions for limiting their children's tobacco-smoke exposure and to identify variables associated to parents' smoking behavior.
Design and participants. Children, 2.5 to 3 years old, participating in All Babies in Southeast Sweden, a prospective study on environmental factors affecting development of immune-mediated diseases. Smoking parents of 366 children answered a questionnaire on their smoking behavior. Cotinine analyses were made on urine specimen from these children and 433 age-matched controls from nonsmoking homes.
Results. Smoking behavior had a significant impact on cotinine levels. Exclusively outdoor smoking with the door closed gave lower urine cotinine levels of children than when mixing smoking near the kitchen fan and near an open door or indoors but higher levels than controls.
Variables of importance for smoking behavior were not living in a nuclear family (odds ratio: 2.1; 95% confidence interval: 1.1–4.1) and high cigarette consumption (odds ratio: 1.6; 95% confidence interval: 1.2-2.1).
An exposure score with controls as the reference group (1.0) gave an exposure score for outdoor smoking with the door closed of 2.0, for standing near an open door + outdoors of 2.4, for standing near the kitchen fan + outdoors of 3.2, for mixing near an open door, kitchen fan, and outdoors of 10.3, and for indoor smoking of 15.2.
Conclusion. Smoking outdoors with the door closed was not a total but the most effective way to protect children from environmental tobacco-smoke exposure. Other modes of action had a minor effect.

measures of precaution
Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), both pre- and postnatal, is an important and well-known health hazard to children.1–6 The World Health Organization7 has estimated that ∼700 million, or almost half of the children in the world, are exposed to ETS. This exposure occurs primarily in the home, although cigarette-consumption level and children's exposure outside the home must also be considered. In their homes, children depend on parents' good will and capacity to minimize their ETS exposure. Most smoking parents make efforts to protect their children. However, we cannot tell how meaningful different modes of action might be. In exceptional cases, as we reported recently,8 a child can still be massively exposed to ETS in the home.
Numerous studies have been reported on parents' smoking and children's ETS exposure.9–11 Most of these studies are based on invalidated questionnaires for estimation of children's ETS exposure in the home.9 Earlier studies12,13 raise the question of whether the effectiveness of precautions taken by parents could be confirmed with objective cotinine analyses of the children's urine.14–16 Therefore, an instrument aiming to survey parents' smoking behavior in the home was developed and tested that demonstrated sensitivity to varying levels of exposure (A. K. Johansson, RN, MPH, A. Halling, G. Hermansson, MD, PhD, and J. Ludvigsson, MD, PhD, unpublished data, 2001).
Although cotinine measurements have their weaknesses (eg, the individual differences in the metabolism of nicotine and the relatively short half-life [∼20 hours]), they have been regarded as the best available biomarker of ETS at present.6,7 An assumption of steady state for cotinine levels is reasonable if there is a daily exposure.17 Cotinine levels provide a valid and quantitative measure of average human ETS exposure over time.18,19 Parenthood seems to influence smoking behavior but not smoking prevalence.13,20 Thus, we need to determine the effectiveness of the modes of action used among smokers to protect their environment from tobacco smoke.
We studied a subsample of 2.5- to 3 year-old children participating in a prospective cohort study, All Babies in Southeast Sweden (ABIS). The aim of ABIS is to study environmental factors affecting the development of immune-mediated diseases in children. The cohort comprises 17 055 of 21 700 (78.6%) of the children born in the southeast region of Sweden between October 1, 1997 and September 30, 1999. Biological samples were taken at birth (cord blood, breast milk, and mothers' hair) and from the child at 1 year (blood and hair) and 2.5 and 5 years (blood, urine, stool, and hair) of age. At these time points, the parents also responded/will respond to comprehensive questionnaires.21
We used the questionnaires and urine specimens from the 2.5- to 3-year-old children. All parents who responded between April 2001 and January 2003 and reported that they themselves or others (ie, guests) smoke in their home (n = 687) were sent a new questionnaire on smoking behavior immediately after the ABIS questionnaire was received. The parents were asked to tell how often they smoked at the dinner table, at the television set, near an open door, at the kitchen fan, outdoors with the door closed, outdoors with the door closed and changing clothes after smoking, and using their own alternatives. They also were asked how much they smoked, how often the child was in smoky environments outside the home, and the length of time that the smoking had been performed in the described way and the level of cigarette consumption had been unchanged. Eighty-four percent (n = 578) responded. A urine sample from the child was delivered by 366 of 578 families. These 366 (47% girls) children, together with age-matched controls chosen among children in ABIS whose parents had denied smoking and smoking ever occurring in their homes (n = 433), constituted the study sample (n = 799).
The families were categorized into 5 smoking-behavior groups that were used in the analyses of the results. They were defined as:
Outdoors: All smoking was performed outdoors with the door closed. (The group that smoked outdoors and changed clothes afterward [n = 10] are included here)
Open door + outdoors: The group either smoked near an open door or outdoors with the door closed.
Kitchen fan + outdoors: The group either smoked close to the kitchen fan or outdoors with the door closed
Mixers: The group either smoked close to the kitchen fan or near an open door or outdoors with the door closed
Indoor smoking: All who stated that smoking sometimes occurred at the dinner table and/or the television set and/or anywhere indoors and/or other places indoors. This behavior was sometimes combined with using the precautions listed above.
The urine specimens provided by the children were delivered by the parents to the local child health care centers, frozen, and then sent to the Department of Pediatrics at Linköping University. They were stored frozen (−20°C) until analyzed. Cotinine analyses were performed with capillary gas chromatography ("Method NM-018-8" by Pharmacia UpJohn, Pharmacia Consumer Healthcare, Helsingborg, Sweden). The analyses were made together with control samples of known values. The lowest level of quantification (LLQ) was based on the standard curve and was 6 ng/mL. However, we have also used, on our own responsibility, the less-reliable values between 2 and 6 ng/mL. Creatinine was measured on all samples ≥LLQ to correct for the dilution of the urine. The cotinine/creatinine ratio (CCR) was calculated as micrograms of cotinine/mole of creatinine, which then was related to cigarette consumption and smoking behavior of the parents.
Cigarette-consumption levels were recategorized into none, sporadic, 1 to 10, 10 to 20, and >20 cigarettes per day to avoid small numbers of cases in extreme groups. ETS exposure outside the home was categorized as "visiting grandparents," "visiting friends," "cafés and restaurants," "in father's home," "outdoors," or "other."
The statistical program SPSS 11.0 for Windows (SPSS Inc, Chicago IL) was used. Because data were not distributed normally, equalities and differences between groups were shown with the Mann-Whitney U test, and correlation between variables were calculated with Spearman's correlation test. Most analyses were performed by using the CCR expressed as micrograms of cotinine/mole of creatinine. The natural logarithm of the cotinine values was used in some comparisons. Logistic regression models were used to show variables of importance for parents' smoking behavior and for children's ETS exposure. The dependent variables were dichotomized as smoking indoors or outdoors and urine CCR as above or below quantification level (6 ng/mL). P < .05 was considered as significant.
The study was approved by the regional Research Ethics Committee.
The birth of the 366 ETS-exposed children, as well as the parents responding to the tobacco questionnaire, was distributed evenly between the months of the year. Only 84% of the children lived with both their parents, 67% had a smoking mother, and 60% had a smoking father. Sixty-six percent of the fathers and 44% of the mothers had completed the lowest education level, 9-year compulsory education, or practical upper secondary school. Eleven percent of the fathers and 19% of the mothers had completed a university education. Fifteen percent of the children had 1 or both parents not born in Sweden.
Mean cigarette-consumption level on weekdays as well as on weekend days was 11 to 15 cigarettes per day. Eighteen percent of the homes reported a joint consumption of >20 cigarettes a day. Other smoked tobacco products were used sparsely (3%). Both the mother and the father smoked in the homes of 33% of the children, in 34% only the mother smoked, and in 27% only the father smoked. In 6% of the children's homes, only guests smoked.
Parents' smoking behavior as well as tobacco consumption seemed to be stable; 91% stated that they were unchanged for the past ≥12 months. Most children were seldom (70%) or never (16%) exposed to ETS in places other than the home. When exceptionally exposed outside home, the most common places were when visiting the grandparents (42%) and in cafés or restaurants (28%).
The most common precaution among the parents was smoking outdoors with the door closed: 56% (n = 206) of the parents stated that they always did so, and 3% (n = 10) always changed clothes after smoking outdoors. Three groups mixing different precautions were found: smoking near an open door combined with outdoor smoking (12%; n = 45); smoking near the kitchen fan combined with outdoor smoking (14%; n = 50); and mixing smoking near an open door, near the kitchen fan, and outdoors (7%; n = 27). One group, indoor smokers, stated that they smoked at the dinner table and/or the television set and/or anywhere indoors sometimes (8%; n = 28). Groups exclusively smoking near an open door (n = 7) or the kitchen fan (n = 9) were small and thus added to parents combining this with outdoor smoking.
Variables Associated to Smoking Behavior
Logistic regression models showed that high cigarette consumption and not living in a nuclear family were associated with more indoor smoking (Table 1). Other variables were of no significant importance.
Variables of Importance for Smoking Behavior
The Association Between Smoking Behavior and Children's ETS Exposure
Reported smoking behavior was related to the mean logvalues of the urine/creatinine ratios (CCRs) of the children (Fig 1, bold lines). Significant differences between smoking-behavior groups were calculated. The control group had significantly lower values than all smoking groups no matter which precautions were used (P < .03). The "indoor-smoking" and "mixers" groups had significantly higher mean values than all other groups (P < .02). The same pattern was also seen if only families smoking >10 cigarettes a day were included.
Children's cotinine/creatinine logvalues (bolded lines) and mean values of cotinine (dashed lines) related to parents' smoking behavior. Cotinine levels ≥ LLQ 6 ng/mL were included (82 children, 10.3%), and the remaining were given the value '1' in the calculation. Values ≥ 2 ng/mL were included (251 children, 56%), and the remaining were given the value '0' in the calculation. Cotinine was nonadjusted for creatinine.
In Fig 1, smoking-behavior groups were related to mean cotinine values (dashed lines). All values from 2 ng/mL, thus above the 55th percentile, were included, and the cotinine values here were unadjusted for creatinine. The extended use of low cotinine values made the differences between the groups more obvious, although it did not change the results.
A significant correlation was seen between CCR and ethnicity, size of dwelling, cigarette-consumption level, which of the parents smokes, and smoking behavior. In logistic regression models, smoking behavior was the only variable of importance for CCR level (Table 2). Cigarette consumption had no significant impact on the children's CCR levels, but the higher cigarette consumption, the less-extensive precautions the parents used.
Variables of Importance for ETS Exposure
Exposure Score
An exposure score illustrating the effect of different smoking behaviors was calculated. A logistic regression model was made with cotinine dichotomized as described above or <6 ng/mL as a dependent variable and smoking behavior as independent and categorical variables. Score levels were depicted as odds ratios in Table 3.
Exposure Score for Different Smoking Behaviors
The results in this study indicate that smoking behavior in the home is of significance for children's ETS exposure.
Most often, the urine specimens were delivered some weeks before the parents got the smoking-behavior questionnaire. This means that parents' smoking behavior was not influenced by the questionnaire before the urine sample was delivered. The described smoking behavior and cigarette consumption were reported to be stable.
Cotinine levels can be expected to reflect average group exposure19 and have been shown to serve well as estimates for settings that do not change often.9,11 The relatively high LLQ (6 ng/mL urine) in the cotinine analyses made some of the exposure groups small. This made it difficult to discriminate between all the smoking-behavior groups by using the calculated CCR values. Cotinine values of 2 to 6 ng/mL were used to illustrate mean values for exposure groups (Fig 1). (These values were not validated, and Pharmacia could not guarantee their reliability [J. Birgersson and Pharmacia, verbal communication, 2003].) They do not alter results given by the CCR levels but make differences more obvious.
The children were all of the same age, 2.5 to 3 years, and differences in metabolism and proximity to the parents, related to age, should not have to be considered. There is no risk for confounding from nicotine through breast milk. The home as the major ETS source was obvious, because only 12% of the children were in smoky environments outside the home every week (and just 2% every day). This reflects the legislation in Sweden, which forbids smoking in most milieus where children are. The most common source of ETS exposure was reported to be the grandparents, results in concordance with Hopper and Craig.22 This was a generation with higher smoking prevalence.23
Parents' cigarette consumption has been shown to influence children's ETS exposure.1 In this study, consumption was shown to influence smoking behavior, which in turn influenced ETS exposure.
Because Sweden has the lowest smoking prevalence (20% among adults) in Europe,7 and most parents were aware of the importance of protecting children from ETS, the level of exposure is probably lower than in many other countries. Almost 60% of the parents in this study stated that they always smoked outdoors with the door closed, which significantly decreases ETS exposure to their children. In countries in which smoking is less restricted in society, the smoking behavior in the home might be less important for the children's cotinine levels.
The groups with parents only smoking in an open door (n = 9) or only near the kitchen fan (n = 9) or always changing clothes after outdoor smoking (n = 10) were small, and the protection effect of these behaviors was difficult to evaluate. They were included in the groups combining these behaviors with smoking outdoors with the door closed. However, it was obvious that any deviation from smoking outdoors was reflected in the cotinine levels of the children, and the results indicated that smoking near an open door was somewhat better than smoking near the kitchen fan.
Although outdoor smoking with the door closed seemed to be the best precaution, there was still a significant difference between this group and the controls. There was no known "safe" level of ETS exposure. The results can be compared with the results of the study by Johansson et al,12 in which 1- to 2-year-old children of only outdoor-smoking parents tended to have a higher prevalence of ear infections and respiratory symptoms than children of nonsmokers but less than children of indoor smokers.
The results of this study could contribute to a more-valid counseling of smoking parents. If parents cannot stop smoking, they should handle their smoking in a way that limits their children's ETS exposure. Nurses in child health care, as well as others meeting parents in consulting situations, should ask for smoking behavior when estimating the children's level of ETS exposure. They should also explain that smoking outdoors with the door closed is a meaningful way of ETS protection, whereas other precautions indoors have little or no effect. Whether outdoor smoking is as good as nonsmoking remains to be shown.
The study was supported by grants from the Health Research Council in the South East of Sweden and Linköping University. Pharmacia Sweden contributed with cotinine analyses.

Joanne Savage is stupefied by beauty while perusing 20th century Irish art at the Ulster Museum
Lavery.jpg
How do you get your head around 170 artworks spanning four centuries of artistic modes and styles? Well, you don't really. You emerge from Visions - Spectacular Art from the Ulster Museum, stupefied by beauty, glutted on art.
Drawn from the Museum's permanent collection, Visions is a sweeping collection, encompassing work from the Renaissance and Romantic periods through to post-Second World War international art. The exhibit is gathered into seven sections; information on historical context and the inspiration behind individual works is provided in each cluster. On this visit, I focus on 'A New Order: 20th Century Irish Art'.
One of the most captivating pieces in this collection is 'The Green Coat' (1926) by the Belfast-born painter Sir John Lavery. Lavery was a fashionable portrait-painter of his day, having studied in Paris at the height of 'plein air' vogue, when mastery of light and its shifting hues was so important to a painting's vitality. He settled in London and was commissioned to paint the Royal family in 1913, moving easily in the upper echelons of society.
This stunning painting is of Lavery's second wife, Hazel Martyn, an American of Irish extraction. Her expression and mien are as inscrutable and beguiling as the Mona Lisa. But there is a melancholy to her features, an air of mystery and solitude that sets her above decadence and sensuality. Lavery immortalised Hazel elsewhere as Cathleen ni Houlihan, WB Yeats's famed symbol of Mother Ireland.
Moving from Louis le Brocquy's 'Girl in White' (1941), a portrait of reserved femininity in ivories, greys and pale blues, you find such treasures as JB Yeats's 'Return of the Wanderer' (1928), Gerard Dillon's symbolically rich 'Yellow Bungalow' (1954) and Edward McGuire's now iconic 'Portrait of Seamus Heaney' (1939).
Daniel O'Neill's 'The Blue Skirt' (1949) owes much to Modigliani's elongated faces and Gauguin's celebration of primitivism. The reclining female nude has a raw power and mask-like face, set against a pastoral backdrop. It's modernism with an Irish twist, a topless siren to rival Gauguin's Tahitian women.
For me the most thought-provoking piece in the New Order section is Colin Middleton's surreal comment on Christianity, 'Christ Androgyne' (1943). This dark and unsettling oil depicts a Christ with flowing hair, pouty lips and one breast. Christ is neither male nor female – a kind of hermaphrodite or androgyne – both sexes and neither.
The misshapen body merges with the wooden cross and the traditional icon of Christian belief becomes a grotesque distortion. The painting obviously suggests a crisis of belief but also – by re-sexing the figure of Christ – presents a challenge to the patriarchal bias of Christendom.
Middleton, who was born in Belfast and trained at the Belfast College of Art, was one of the forerunners of Irish surrealism, adapting the subconscious-probing terrain of de Chirico and Dali when most around him where still engaged in strait-laced realism. 'Christ Androgyne' is a startling work, a view of the crucifix that might be occasioned by an acid trip spent reading The Second Sex and Vatican II.
Many of the usual suspects are also on display here, including Neil Shawcross, Basil Blackshaw, William Conor, TP Flanagan, Paul Henry and William Scott. The collection zigzags between Victorian representationalism and modern and postmodern abstract expressionism - no shortage of masterpieces and unexpected gems.
An addendum to the New Order section is Willie Doherty's looped video installation, Ghost Story, which was displayed at the Venice Biennale in 2007. It moves along eerie, deserted country lanes and remote back allies, whispering about victims of the Troubles, hands being bound with wire, people lurking under bridges.
The sense of foreboding is augmented by the pitch black of the room. So dark is it, in fact, that one woman initially mistakes me for a chair, and when I turn to point out that I am sentient, lets out a yell. My attempts to affirm that I am not part of the artwork are drowned out by her screams.
There is much to be swept away by in the New Order collection, but you'll find me, during rare hours of recreation, for the next month at least, staring at Lavery's portrait of the haunting Ms Martyn. She seems like the kind of woman who the love poetry of WB Yeats should have been written to (instead of that chinful old bellows Maud Gonne), full of 'high lonely mysteries' and a beauty that is not natural in an age like this. It's worth visiting the exhibition to see this masterpiece alone.

John Carter Cash, 48, is one prolific, busy guy. He and his wife, Ana Cristina Cash, operate Cash Cabin Enterprises entertainment company. Since 2016, the six-time Grammy-winning music producer and only child of the late Johnny and June Carter Cash has released an album, We Must Believe in Magic; written and produced a short film, Dragon Song; gotten married and had a baby; and published two books, including The Cash and Carter Family Cookbook.
Cash began his career working with his mother as a producer on her 1999 Grammy-winning album, Press On, and was an associate producer on his dad's American III: Solitary Man and American IV: The Man Comes Around. In 2003, he produced his mom's Grammy-winning Wildwood Flower. He's produced music for Loretta Lynn, Sheryl Crow and Vince Gill and was executive producer of the 2005 film about Johnny Cash, Walk the Line.
As part of music-biz royalty, Cash takes his musical heritage seriously.
The legendary Carter Family included husband-wife duo A.P. and Sara Carter and Sara's cousin, Maybelle Carter, who are considered forerunners of today's country music. The Carter Family Fold, established by one of A.P. and Sara's children, Janette, features weekly old-time and bluegrass music.
In addition to family recipes like Mother Maybelle's Pickles, described by Cash as "the half-sour pickles she first had when she was traveling in New York City in the 1930s," the book includes recipes and stories from people who were welcomed to the Cash family table, such as Kris Kristofferson and Loretta Lynn.
He describes losing both parents only months apart, in 2003, as overwhelming. "I was at a point in my life where I had reached a level of acceptance for my parents – who they were, where they'd been and where I was headed. I tried to honor them in their passing," he recalls.

Citation: Luchansky, J.B., Shoyer, B.A., Shane, L.E., Osoria, M., Campano, S.G., Porto Fett, A.C. 2022. Inactivation of Listeria monocytogenes and Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli in "soupie", a homemade soppressata. Food Protection Trends. 42(1):48–57.
Interpretive Summary: Soupie is a homemade soppressata common to the coal towns of northeastern Pennsylvania. Based on longstanding traditions, most soupie recipes use locally-sourced pork and a handful of non-meat ingredients that are ground, mixed, and then (hand) stuffed into beef middle natural casings before being fermented, flattened, dried, and then stored under oil for extended periods. What's missing, however, are data on the overall safety and quality attributes of soupie, including its chemical composition and the presence and levels of bacterial pathogens and their potential ability to persist and proliferate in soupie. Therefore, we prepared soupie using a generic recipe and make protocol and purposefully inoculated it with cells of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli or illness-causing strains of Listeria monocytogenes. In general, our data confirmed that fermentation and drying reduced the levels of both pathogens by about 100 cells per gram. Following storage under sunflower oil or under vacuum in contact with sunflower oil for up to 6 months at ambient temperature it was possible to lower pathogen levels by a total of almost 1 million cells per gram. These data establish that soupie, as prepared and stored herein, is a shelf-stable, specialty/ethnic, fermented dry-cured sausage.
Technical Abstract: The viability of cells of Listeria monocytogenes or Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli (STEC) were monitored in "soupie", a homemade soppressata. Coarse-ground fresh ham was mixed with non-meat ingredients, a starter culture (ca. 6.0 log CFU/g), and one pathogen cocktail (ca. 6.5 log CFU/g). The batter was then mixed before being fine ground, stuffed, and fermented at 26.7°C and ca. 90% RH for ca. 48 h to ca. pH 5.3. Next, chubs were dried at 15.6°C and ca. 86.5% RH for ca. 5 days, flattened under weights over three days, and then dried for an additional 21 days at 4°C and 72.5% RH. After drying, half the chubs were vacuum sealed individually in bags along with 8 mL of sunflower oil and the other half were submerged in sunflower oil (ca. 1.5 L) within covered plastic containers; all chubs were stored for 6 months at 20°C. Fermentation and drying delivered a ca. 1.2 log CFU/g reduction in levels of both pathogens. Thereafter, regardless of storage conditions, a ca. 5.0 log CFU/g reduction for both pathogens was observed within one and four months of storage at 20°C for STEC and L. monocytogenes, respectively. Although L. monocytogenes required more time (P < 0.05) to achieve a 5-log CFU/g reduction than STEC in soupie, there were no differences (P > 0.05) in viability of L. monocytogenes versus STEC after four months of storage and/or in viability of either pathogen related to whether chubs were stored vacuum-packaged with oil or submerged in oil. These data establish that soupie, as prepared and stored herein, is a shelf-stable, specialty/ethnic, fermented dry-cured sausage.

"Did you want to ask me something?" She turned to him, as if taken aback, wide-eyed and oh so innocent, hair swishing against his shoulder, silken soft. He resisted the urge to give her a pat on the head, to reassure her.
"Why do you always appear at this time of the day?" She tucked her hand in his and squeezed, maybe she could keep him from leaving. Don't worry, we'll meet again. He wanted to whisper those words in her ear, to tell her all he knew, all she would come to know. But there were rules, and he would be breaking them. And what would that lead to? What if he never saw her again?
"I don't know," he replied, "It simply happens."
She was not at all satisfied, brows furrowed, nibbling at her lower lip in concentration. She desperately wanted to pry but wouldn't – it was so familiar, it burned.
"Do you know which school you will be attending come next year?" He sighed, setting his hand across her back, holding her loosely but with enough security. I won't let you fall, don't be scared.
"I think I want to apply at Ouran High School," she answered after a moment's pause, her tone hard (yet so easy to break, he noted), her eyes shining with a kind of hope which he knew she would carry forever. He smiled, one full of shadows and doubts and fears; she noticed.
"You don't think I should?"
He shook his head, "No, no, I think you'll do wonderfully there," and then he stopped, tilted the frame of his glasses up the bridge of his nose, added thoughtfully, "Have you told your father?"
There was another stretch of silence before she grumbled, "He can't be bothered. Dad works and has to concentrate on all his responsibilities. I can do this on my own."
He chuckled this time, grazing her cheek with his fingers, "You are a strong girl, Haruhi. Don't ever change."
The clock hanging above them chimed – it was time to go. Already, he could feel his legs disappearing, the room swirling in a pool of nothingness.
"Don't go," she pleaded, her hand clutching on to his shirt. She was all that he could see. But he closed his eyes, opened them again, touched her shoulder, a light feathery touch – she let go.
"Will you remember me?" He asked, just as he always did. And she nodded with a forceful kind of sadness, unwilling to believe anything else.
"Yes! Forever!"
And then he was gone, no fairy dust, no gust of stray wind, no nothing. As if he had never existed. And in time, she did forget. And so did he.
Kyouya stirred, reaching for his glasses, sitting up, staring at the desk in front of him. Tamaki looked down at him, worried, hand on his shoulder.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
He shook his head, smiled that dark, brooding, shadowy smile, "No, I think I just had a very good dream."

New law to revoke immunity of foreign security contractors from prosecution.
On Wednesday, Ali al-Dabbagh, an Iraqi government spokesman, released a statement saying: "The cabinet held a meeting yesterday and decided to scrap the article pertaining to security companies operating in Iraq that was issued by the CPA (Coalition Provision Authority) in 2004."
"It has decided to present a new law regarding this issue which will be taken in the next cabinet meeting."
The CPA stipulated that the "multinational force, foreign liaison missions, their personnel, property, funds and assets and all international consultants shall be immune from Iraqi legal process.".
On October 9 guards of Australian security company Unity Resources Group fired upon a car in central Baghdad killing two women, and on October 18 guards of a British security company fired on a car wounding three people.
On Tuesday, the US government also moved to clamp down on Blackwater and other private security firms in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Officials said that Condoleezza Rice, the US secretary of state, was adopting "immediately" the recommendations of a review panel that exposed a worrying legal impunity for security guards working in the two countries.
The panel was led by Patrick Kennedy, the state department's director of management policy, who said "the issue is to do the job in such a way that you minimise the risk to protectees and to any innocent Iraqis who happen to be in the area that a convoy is moving through".
In an implicit admonishment, the Kennedy panel stressed that private contractors should open fire only with "due regard for the safety of innocent bystanders".
The Blackwater shooting laid bare a lack of accountability for firms working for the US state department rather than the Pentagon, whose private contractors are covered by US military law.
Washington has been increasingly dependent on contractors to protect its civilian staff in Iraq as the military has been fully occupied tackling Sunni fighters and sectarian militias.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Mets say baseball agent Brodie Van Wagenen has agreed to become their general manager.
Team spokesman Harold Kaufman confirmed Monday morning that chief operating officer Jeff Wilpon and Van Wagenen have settled on terms of a contract, although no paperwork had been signed yet.
A news conference to introduce Van Wagenen is planned for Tuesday at Citi Field. He was chosen to replace Sandy Alderson, who took a leave of absence in late June following a recurrence of cancer. Alderson said the team's poor record did not merit him returning.
In an unusual move, the 44-year-old Van Wagenen is set to switch sides at the bargaining table. He has represented high-profile players all around the majors, including Mets stars Jacob deGrom, Yoenis Cespedes and Todd Frazier.
