عنوان مقاله [English]
Introduction: P. syringae pv. syringae (P.s.s), the causal agent of blast of citrus trees, is one of the most important plant pathogens in the world. P.s.s is unique among most P. syringae pathovars according to its ability to cause disease in over 180 species of plants in several unrelated genera. Traditionally, Strains of P.s.s are identified on the basis of biochemical and nutritional tests and symptom expression in host plants. Genomic fingerprinting methods based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) have been applied for identification and classification of plant-associated bacteria to the subspecies level. The objectives of this study were the phenotypic and molecular evaluation of P.s. pv. syringae strains causing citrus blast in the West of Mazandaran and the East of Guilan, and study of genetic diversity of P.s.s isolates of citrus by using ERIC and REP-PCR markers.
Materials and Methods: During 2011 to 2012, citrus infected tissues were sampled from different orchards in the West of Mazandaran and the East of Guilan. Bacterial phenotypes were studied based on standard physiological and biochemical tests. Gram reaction was determined by potassium hydroxide solubility test (KOH test). Strains were grown on King'B medium (KB) and fluorescent pigment production was evaluated. Levan formation, oxidase reaction, potato soft rot, Arginine dihydrolase and induction of the hypersensitive reaction in tobacco leaves (LOPAT tests), were done as described by Schadd et al. The standard strains of P.s. pv. syringae form IVIA were used as reference strains in this study. Pathogenicity Test was done as described by Yessad et al. Citrus seedlings were maintained in a greenhouse at 20°C. In addition, a PCR-based method was used to confirm the genus and species of bacteria by using bacterial specific primer pair’s designed for a specific gene of syringomycin B. Genetic diversity among the strains, was studied by rep-PCR fingerprinting. Genomic fingerprinting was carried out according to the methods of rep-PCR with ERIC primers of Little et al. and with REP primers of Zhao et al. The amplified PCR products were analyzed by gel electrophoresis on a gel containing 1.5% agarose in 1 × TAE buffer. Similarity analyses were done with the NTSYSpc ver. 2.02 software (Exeter Software, New York, USA) as described by Rohlf. Similar coefficients were compared using SM coefficient analysis according to the number and position of bands. Dendrograms were produced according to the unweighted pair-group mean arithmetic method (UPGMA) using NTSYSpc software.
Results and Discussion: Bacterial strains were identified on the basis of Phenotypic and pathogenicity tests. Twenty- seven isolates of bacteria identified as P. syringae pv. syringae. Strains in which the gram reaction was negative were investigated based on physiological and biochemical characteristics. All P.s.s strains used in this study were negative for oxidase, potato rot, and Arginine dihydrolase but, positive for levan production and the hypersensitive response in tobacco. Strains were positive in gelatin, casein, aesculin, fluorescent pigment production, and tolerant to 5% NaCl, syringomycin production tests, but negative for urease, hydrolysis of starch. Growth at 370C, reduction of nitrate to nitrite and the hydrolysis of tween 80 were variable. These strains produced acid from glucose, xylose, sorbitol, galactose, sucrose and mannitol, but did not produce acid from maltose, Ramnose and the use of lactose were variable. All of the P.s.s strains were pathogenic on seedlings and produced progressive necrotic symptom. To confirm biochemical identification of the bacterial strains, the specific markers were selected for PCR. All 27 isolates of the P.s.s and the standard strains of P.s.s form IVIA produced the expected 198 bp. fragment of the gene syrB with specific markers. The isolates were determinated as P. s. pv. syringae based on phenotypical features and molecular identification. Traditionally, strains of P.s.s are recognized based on biochemical, nutritional, and physiological characteristics of citrus in different parts of Mazandaran. To assess genetic diversity among the strains, ERIC and REP-PCR analysis were used. Strains formed 6 and 5 clusters in the ERIC-PCR and REP-PCR, at 75% similarity level respectively and by the combination data set of both ERIC and REP-PCR, strains formed 6 clusters. In addition, strains formed 2 clusters at 62% similarity level. Cluster one contained the strains of citrus from Kelarabad, Chaboksar, Ketalem. The second Cluster contained other strains with the standard strains of P.s.s (IVIA). Diversity among P.s.s strains using rep-PCR fingerprinting was considerable. The results of this study demonstrated that P.s.s strains isolated from citrus trees are genotypically heterogeneous.
Conclusion: In Iran, P.s.s strains were isolated from citrus and characterized. They emphasized phenotypic and nutritional. Whereas genotypic features of this pathogen have not been studied yet. In our study, according to phenotypic and molecular methods, strains were identified as P. s. pv. syringae. Despite similar phenotypic characteristics, the results indicated the existence of genetic heterogeneity among Pss strains causing citrus blast in the West of Mazandaran and the East of Guilan. The rep-PCR method is low cost, rapid, and reliable to discriminate plant-pathogenic bacteria at the pathovar level. Similar results have been reported in other studies of the strains isolated from other plants. Disclosing the population diversity of each pathovar, in turn, has implications for the implementation of breeding programs, disease management strategies, and ecological and epidemiological studies.

The Power of Group Study: Enhancing Learning and Collaboration
Education is a journey that often requires dedicated effort, persistence, and effective learning strategies. While individual study remains an integral part of the learning process, group study has emerged as a valuable approach to increasing academic success. Collaborative learning environments, where students come together to tackle challenges and share knowledge, have gained popularity in educational institutions around the world. This article explores the benefits of group study and highlights how it can enhance learning outcomes.
1. Enhanced Understanding and Understanding:
One of the primary benefits of group study is the opportunity for better understanding and comprehension of complex subjects. In a group setting, participants bring diverse perspectives, experiences and knowledge. Through discussions, explanations and debates, different perspectives are explored, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the material. Individuals can bridge their gaps in knowledge by learning from their peers, thereby developing a more holistic understanding of the subject matter.
2. Better Retention and Recall:
Group study encourages active engagement and participation, which can significantly improve information retention and recall. When individuals actively discuss and explain concepts with their peers, they reinforce their understanding. The act of expressing ideas and answering questions stimulates deeper cognitive processing, strengthening memory retention. In addition, group members can work together to create mnemonic tools, quizzes or flashcards, fostering a collaborative and interactive learning environment that increases long-term retention.
3. Strong Communication and Interpersonal Skills:
Effective communication and interpersonal skills are essential not only in academic settings but also in professional and personal life. Group study provides a forum for individuals to develop and refine these important skills. By actively participating in discussions, presenting ideas and listening to others, students hone their ability to express themselves clearly and concisely. In addition, working in a group fosters teamwork, conflict resolution, and the ability to consider different perspectives—an important skill for future collaborative endeavors.
4. Motivation and Accountability:
Studying alone can sometimes lead to procrastination or lack of motivation. On the other hand, group study provides built-in accountability and motivation. Being part of a team instills a sense of responsibility, as each member contributes to the collective’s progress. The supportive environment encourages participants to stay on track, complete assignments, and prepare for exams. Additionally, group study sessions can serve as a source of encouragement and inspiration, as students celebrate achievements and provide support during challenging times.
5. Various Teaching Techniques:
Individuals have different learning preferences and strengths. Group study allows participants to exchange learning techniques and strategies, helping them to discover new methods that best suit their individual needs. Some students may excel in visual learning and contribute visual aids or diagrams, while others may have the ability to explain concepts verbally. By taking advantage of each member’s strengths, group study creates a varied and well-rounded learning experience that caters to a range of learning styles.
Group study provides a dynamic and collaborative learning environment that fosters understanding, retention, communication skills, motivation and diverse learning techniques. It provides a platform for students to exchange knowledge, discuss ideas and support each other in their educational journey. While individual study remains valuable, incorporating group study into your learning routine can lead to improved academic performance and overall development. As students begin their educational endeavors, embracing the power of group study can open new avenues for success and personal growth.

Food runs deep in the Elkhouri family. Way back before opening the now almost 12-year-old Cedar’s Café in Melbourne, mother and owner Marlene was teaching her children how to cook.
“My earliest memory of food would be peeling garlic and helping make dinner,” recalls her daughter Toni, who now holds her own titles of chef and co-owner of the restaurant. On the menu, Marlene serves traditional Lebanese food: Tabouli, kibbeh, falafel, grape leaves and more. On the “special” menus and dinners, Toni brings in a new school approach, creating innovative fare that draws on her Lebanese roots.
Looking back, Toni recalls, “My mother always wanted to share her passion for food and flavor with anyone who came through our door. She not only taught all of her children to cook, but to love what you make and take pride in it. This has now trickled down to her granddaughter Mia who is not even two and already peeling garlic and rolling dough.”
Food in the Elkhouri family begins here for Toni, but for Marlene it goes even further back; “All my life I loved to cook! I always liked being in the kitchen, since I was young. I took some ideas from my mother in Lebanon, but I always took the idea and made my own recipe,” said Marlene, thinking back to when she grew up in Lebanon. “Open your pantry, see what you have, mix it together and make a dish. This is how I learned to cook from my parents, my grandparents, and from my mother-in-law. They taught us how to make a meal from nothing. Back then we couldn’t afford everything. We never had meat all week. We had meat one day, fish on Fridays, maybe chicken on another day, then the rest of the week we ate vegetarian. We used to plant everything, tomatoes, parsley, like I do at my house now.”
While creatively very different in their dishes, Marlene and Toni both have the same approach – simple, delicious, real food, created daily with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. And they’re not doing it because it’s trendy; they’ve been doing it all along. “I promised myself when my kids grew up I was going to open a small cafe, this is my dream. I don’t want it big so I can keep the quality and make everything from scratch.”
Still in the kitchen full time at the restaurant these days, Marlene is still driven by the passion she started Cedar’s Café with, more so now than ever. “Anything in life, you have to love what you do. If you are cooking just to cook because you have to cook, it is not going to be the same as if you put all your passion and all your love into the food. This is how I taught my kids, you have to put all your love in the food when you cook. We have to leave our foods and our traditions to the kids and grandkids so they can carry them on. This restaurant, the workers and guests, they are all my family.”
Food runs deep in the Elkhouri family, and they are still proving it, one fresh, delicious, well-loved ingredient at a time.

As the solidarity movement prepares for another protest and vigil against the Western Hemispheric Institute for Security and Cooperation (WHINSEC, nee School of the Americas and forever known to the movement as the School of Assassins) this November, another threat to peace and democracy in the Americas lurks behind the curtain.
On September 21, the United States and El Salvador ratified the establishment of a new police academy for Latin America, to be built on Salvadoran soil. The International Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) presents several concerns for Latin America’s peace and security.
After the Central American civil wars of the 1980’s, El Salvador and other nations established constitutions, peace accords, and treaties clearly delineating the roles of the police and the military. The role of the military was to defend national borders and not to control dissent among the civilian population. The role of controlling dissent was firmly lodged with the police forces, which were brought under civilian control, at least nominally.
While no one argues that more training and professionalization would help the Salvadoran security forces; which since being re-formed after the war, have been plagued by accusations of corruption, arbitrary detention, and abuse; many question the ILEA as the ideal tool to accomplish that goal. Section 660 of the U.S. Foreign Aid Bill prohibits aid to foreign police forces except in democratic countries with exceptional human rights records. Although we cannot conflate today’s Salvadoran civilian police force with the militarized police of the war years, it is still safe to say that the Salvadoran police force is light years away from satisfying the conditions of the bill.
Meanwhile, Latin American social movements do not trust the United States as an appropriate purveyor of the ILEA’s purported objectives of strengthening the criminal justice system with an emphasis on human rights and democratization. This mistrust is based at least as much on current events, such as the U.S. refusal to sign on to the International Criminal Court and the torture scandals of Abu Ghraib and Guantánamo, as its long history of supporting death squad governments in the Americas. The School of the Americas trained many of the soldiers responsible for the most notorious massacres of the Salvadoran civil war and circulates manuals with such names as "How to Keep Torture Victims Alive."
There are already four other ILEAs, in Budapest, Bangkok, Botswana, and New Mexico. None of these places have the traumatic history of U.S. intervention that El Salvador has. The ILEA has the stated purpose of strengthening the fight against organized crime, including drug trafficking, money laundering, international terrorism, human trafficking, arms dealing, illegal migration and the epidemic of gang violence. The composition of ILEA students would not be only police officers, but would include judges, prosecutors, and immigration officials.
The ILEA-South was first proposed for Panama, which rejected it, and then for Costa Rica in 2002. The Costa Rican social movements pressured the parliament to put several strong conditions on ratification. They insisted on a non-military character of the school, which had already been confirmed by diplomatic notes between the two countries affirming that "the academy and its installations do not seek to develop any kind of military instruction or connection with military activities" and countless other assurances. The Costa Rican assembly also rejected diplomatic immunity for U.S. Academy personnel. The U.S. refused to accept the conditions and decided to take the ILEA elsewhere.
On June 5 of this year, the ILEA landed decidedly in El Salvador, with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s surprise announcement of the plans at the meeting of the Organization of American States. In July, the first course began in a separate facility, with students from El Salvador, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic. The school is expected to be fully functioning within a year, and will have a capacity for 1,500 students – about twice the current enrollment of the School of the Americas.
The social movement fears that further Salvadoran cooperation in the U.S. war on terror (in addition to El Salvador’s contribution of troops to the Iraq war) would increase security risks to the country. The secretive nature of the negotiations (the agreement is still not publicly circulated) has bred more distrust in the motives behind the ILEA. Many worry about further U.S. Intervention in public security at a time of intense U.S. economic interests in the region, especially with the implementation of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) set for January 1. Suppression of popular protest, especially related to CAFTA, has been increasing.
Far from feeling "proud that the United States has chosen us," (as Salvadoran President Tony Saca suggests) the Salvadoran social movement, including the Ombudsperson for Human Rights, energetically opposes the establishment of the ILEA in their country. The solidarity movement in the United States must do the same.

JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas wants to launch the jailhouse rock.
Thomas is playing for both family and legacy in Super Bowl XLVIII, but the uniquely humble wideout cares more about his incarcerated mother and grandmother than the way his skills are perceived by his peers.
Thomas’ leading ladies have been in jail since 1999 after their house was raided as part of a cocaine bust. His mother, Katina Smith, is serving 20 years, and his grandmother, Minnie Pearl Thomas, received two life sentences.
Thomas routinely speaks to both on the phone, including conversations with his mother before and after every game. They’re able to watch each game on television, and both wear Broncos garb to show their allegiances.
“They drive me more to know that they’re there and they’re watching me,” Thomas said. “I try to go out there and play my best because they’re going to talk about it to the people in the jailhouse.”
Take it a step further and Thomas could be the talk of the league Sunday night if he wins his heavily anticipated one-on-one showdown with Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.
Thomas quietly has become one of the NFL’s best receivers — a “top-five” talent, per Sherman — and a productive output against the league’s elite cornerback might put him in Calvin Johnson territory.
“I think no doubt he starts jumping into that category as one of the best, and he’s done a wonderful job of putting him in that top four, top five,” said Hall of Famer Michael Irvin, an NFL Network analyst. “But this is the game that says, ‘I am the man.’ If he jumps out here and puts a beatdown on Sherm, he can back it up.
“You can say what you want because he put up the numbers, and all of the numbers were meaningful because they led to a Super Bowl championship. And he took down great players along the way.”
Thomas ranked ninth in the league in receptions (92), fourth in receiving yards (1,430) and second in touchdowns (14). A.J. Green, who never has won a playoff game, was the only other player who finished in the top 10 in all three categories.
Thomas hit it big in the 2011 playoffs against the Steelers with his 80-yard catch-and-run from Tim Tebow for a touchdown in overtime, but another prime-time outpouring a stone’s throw from the New York City lights in the Super Bowl would elevate his lore. Surely, Thomas wouldn’t be considered the same type of imposing threat as Johnson, but his 2006 Georgia Tech teammate better known as Megatron also is searching for his first playoff victory.
So, who would be the best if Sunday night unfolds favorably for Thomas?
“I wouldn’t call myself the best,” Thomas said. “I think Calvin is the best right now. But if I have a great performance, I’m just trying to do whatever I can do to get the win. If I play good football or not, I just want the Broncos to win the game.”
Quietly unassuming, Thomas is unlike most big-time wideouts, but so is his family situation. He stayed fiercely loyal to his mother and grandmother after a life-altering event, and they remain his primary motivator, driving home the point that he could accomplish any of his dreams despite never seeing him play football at a competitive level. To Thomas, his family’s perception means more than anything.
So far, he’s making them proud, and his progression through each of his four seasons has helped the Broncos’ cause in their historic season. The 6-foot-3, 230-pounder has deep-threat speed outside the numbers, but his quickness on short routes and a freakish ability to break tackles after catching screen passes have made him a weapon in all three levels. That makes him impossible for defenses to erase.
“Watching him mature as a football player and as a person has been tremendous,” Broncos receiver Eric Decker said. “The guy has so much talent. I really think he is one of the best receivers talent-wise in the NFL.”
Injuries and inconsistent quarterback play limited Thomas’ production through two seasons, but he has been Peyton Manning’s catalyst since 2012. Thomas’ natural ability — he won a bet this season with cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie by throwing a football 60 yards from his knees — and size — Wes Welker laughed about his “triple-XL gloves” — always have existed. The quiet leadership has since come along.
Thomas’ playoff production, with 15 catches for 188 yards and two scores in the past two games, has validated his budding prominence. With the world watching, including his mother and grandmother in a Florida jail, Thomas has the opportunity to make two people proud, and a league take notice in a showdown with Sherman.
“If it happens to be me and him going against each other,” Sherman said, “it will probably be one of the best ever.”


New Delhi: Google Pixel Watch is one of the highly anticipated wearables of 2022. Google is reportedly working on its own in-house smartwatch and now a popular tipster has revealed that the tech giant might release it on May 26 this year. Popular tipster Jon Prosser took to Twitter to provide details of the Google Pixel Watch.
Pixel Watch 👇
I’m hearing that Google is planning on launching it on Thursday, May 26th — over year since we leaked it.
This is the first we’ve seen a set date on the device behind the scenes.

“Pixel Watch. I have heard that Google is planning on launching it on Thursday, May 26, over a year since we leaked it. This is the first time we have seen a set date on the device behind the scenes. Google is known for pushing back dates, but if they do, we will know,” he said.
The new Google Pixel Watch is one of the most eagerly-awaited wearables for Android fans. Many believe this would set off the competition with the Apple Watch. Fans believe the new Google Pixel Watch would be the right competitor for the Apple Watch, which has been dominating the market for generations now.
This timeline syncs with the Google I/O developer conference where Google announces a sleuth of hardware and software upgrades.
Pixel Watch is expected to debut with features that may not be initially available on other Wear OS watches. One such anticipated feature is the next-generation of Google Assistant.
There is also a possibility that Google might go with an Exynos-based Tensor chip for its upcoming smartwatch. Currently, Google Pixel 6 devices are using the Tensor GS 101 chipset, which is basically an Exynos processor with hardware enhancements.
In addition, the Watch will have basic fitness tracking features, including step counting and a heart rate monitor, with Google also reportedly working on debuting a Fitbit integration into Wear OS with the new watch when it launches.
Google was earlier expected to unveil its first smartwatch alongside the Pixel 6, but the launch was reportedly delayed.

Montreal bench boss Michel Therrien isn’t holding back in expressing anticipation over playing his former team.
The Canadiens will host the Penguins — the club Therrien took to the Stanley Cup finals in 2008 — on Saturday night, the first time he’s faced Pittsburgh since being sacked in 2009.
“It’s going to be special, I’m not going to hide it,” Therrien told the Canadian Press. “But I’ve got some great memories of my time in Pittsburgh.
“There are some players I know well. I have a lot of respect for them. But to play against your old team as a player or a coach is special.”
The 2008-09 Penguins were a heavy Cup favorite after losing to Detroit in the finals the year prior, yet never were able to get things going.
After posting a 27-25-5 record through 57 games, the team made the decision to replace Therrien with Dan Bylsma…and the Pens went on to win their first Stanley Cup in 17 years.
A number of the Penguins that played under Therrien are still with the team: Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Pascal Dupuis, Tyler Kennedy, Matt Cooke, Brooks Orpik, Chris Kunitz and Mark Eaton, to name a few.
Therrien says he remembers the team fondly and is looking forward to facing them at the Bell Centre.
“It was a challenge. No one expected us to be in a Stanley Cup final that quickly,” he explained. “We’re in first place now and they’re in second, but playing against that team is a challenge even if Malkin (concussion) is out.
“There’s only seven or eight guys left on that roster since I left, but the identity is always the same.”

Trieste by Svevo
The city centre has preserved its early 20th century allure, so that the visitors can personally see the places described and lived by Svevo’s characters, including Zeno Cosini, Alfonso Nitti, Emilio Brentani.
The most haunted and cherished spots in his novels are: Piazza Unità d’Italia (at the time named Piazza Grande); the narrow streets of Cittavecchia, where he used to make his daily walks; Tergesteo, the former seat of the Union Bank where he worked for 18 years and got the inspiration for his first novel “A Life”; via S. Nicolò with the seat of the Berlitz School, where he met the Irish novelist James Joyce, a friend and an essential boost for his career as a writer.
You can’t miss the historical cafés of the city, where Svevo used to meet and speak with his fellow writers. The most popular one is probably Caffè Stella Polare, found in Borgo Teresiano, just opposite the beautiful Church of Sant’Antonio Nuovo
The lovers of literature and Italo Svevo’s books especially will feel like a character of his novels while walking in the streets of Trieste.

One of the recipients of Poinsett’s plant was Robert Buist, who sold the plant at his nursery under the name Euphorbia pulcherrima. The popularity of Euphorbia pulcherrima grew quickly, and William Prescott, a historian and horticulturist, was asked to give the plant a new name. At the time, Mr. Prescott had just published a book called The Conquest of Mexico in which he detailed Joel Poinsett’s discovery of the plant. Prescott named the plant the poinsettia in honor of Joel Poinsett’s discovery.
Today there are over one hundred varieties of poinsettias. They range from the traditional red to other, exciting new colors. It is not the flowers that give the poinsettia their color, but the leaves that surround the flower, also called the plant’s cyathia. The colored leaves are known as the bract. Quite a few traditional red varieties are grown; availability depends on whether you purchase your poinsettia in early or late December. The red varieties are improved every year, and they have been bred to retain their red bracts into late winter. It’s not uncommon for them to hold their color through St. Valentine’s Day. Poinsettias also come in different shades of pink, burgundy and white.
| Novelty Poinsettias|
There is also a trend of what are collectively known as novelty poinsettias – poinsettias generally grown in a smaller pot which is 4 to 5 inches in diameter. The smaller size pots make the novelty poinsettias ideally suited for use as a decorating accent. They also make a great last minute hostess gift. Novelty poinsettias have either uniquely shaped leaves, or some sort of non-traditional coloring. These plants have been specifically bred with these traits. My favorite novelty variety is called Chianti (pictured at the left). This plant has holly shaped bracts, in a rich red color. The novelty Sonora White Glitter is another great variety. The bracts are dark red with a splash of creamy white. Previously available only in red, the variety, Winter Rose has a unique crinkly bract that curls under, much like a gathered seam. It resembles a large rose-like bloom. Winter Rose varieties are now available in pink, white, and marble, which is a two-tone pink and white.
Can I eat them?
If you really wanted too eat your poinsettia...you could. They are NOT poisonous. There is no nutritional value, and if you made yourself a poinsettia salad, people would think your having some sort of a breakdown, but you wouldn't die. Poinsettias are not toxic to animals or children, so they are perfectly safe in any household.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - World equity markets rose on Thursday, helped by a weaker dollar and surging oil prices that touched their highest in six weeks to lift energy sector stocks.
The U.S. dollar was near an eight-week low against major currencies in the wake of minutes from the Federal Reserve's July meeting published on Wednesday showing policymakers were unlikely to raise interest rates soon.
Key indexes on Wall Street edged up, aided by gains in the energy sector and by big-box retailer Wal-Mart that offset losses in the telecom sector. Wal-Mart rose as much as 3.1 percent to $75.19, a more than 14-month high, after the retailer posted a better-than-expected quarterly profit.
The Dow Jones industrial average <.DJI> rose 23.76 points, or 0.13 percent, to 18,597.7, the S&P 500 <.SPX> gained 4.8 points, or 0.22 percent, to 2,187.02 and the Nasdaq Composite <.IXIC> added 11.49 points, or 0.22 percent, to 5,240.15.
"The market has been Fed-driven so far; it is going through a phase where it will pivot from the Fed to more emphasis on companies growing their revenues," said Thomas Wilson, managing director of Wealth Advisory at Brinker Capital, in Berwyn, Pa.
Energy stocks provided the biggest sector boost. Brent crude
Members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will meet on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum in Algeria on Sept. 26-28.
Brent last traded at $50.82 a barrel, up nearly 2 percent on the day. U.S. light crude oil
Oil prices were also helped by a falling dollar <.DXY>, which slipped to its lowest against a basket of major currencies since June 24 as traders marked down the odds of an interest rate increase by the Fed.
"When we did not receive the unambiguous hawkishness from the FOMC minutes, that kind of opened up the door to additional (dollar) selling," said Kathy Lien, managing director at BK Asset Management in New York
Oil is priced in dollars, so it becomes more valuable as the dollar's value falls.
U.S. Treasury yields slipped as fixed-income investors were also doubtful of the likelihood that the Fed would tighten monetary policy soon, despite Dudley's comments and another drop in jobless claims.
Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes
The pan-European STOXX 600 index <.STOXX>, which had fallen in the last four sessions on a run of weak company earnings, was up 0.72 percent.
MSCI's All World index <.MIWD00000PUS> climbed 0.4 percent to head back toward a one-year high, lifted by a 0.47 percent rise in Asian shares, their biggest gain since Aug. 8. <.MIAPJ0000PUS>
Emerging market shares also had sizeable gains, with MSCI's emerging markets index <.MSCIEF> up 0.68 percent.
Japan's Nikkei <.N225>, however, bucked the trend, dropping 1.5 percent after data showed exports from the country falling at their fastest pace since the financial crisis.

tv [untitled] August 11, 2012 2:00pm-2:30pm EDT
this is r t tonight clashes in istanbul with protesters angry at hillary clinton's visit to promises another five and a half million dollars to the syrian rebels and she discusses plans for a future without the presence of sad. well reported he tries to bribe syria's ambassador to mauritania to side with the rebels with promises of a million dollars and political asylum. in the u.s. says it's i entered to run shows there's no nuclear weapon in the works yet but a leading paper reports that in israeli strike on iran could be imminent. over a warm welcome for me kevin owen here in moscow this is r.t.
coming to live at ten pm moscow time washington stepping up plans for a syria without president assad and getting ready for worst case scenarios too including a possible chemical weapons attack us foreign policy chief hillary clinton has pledged a further five and a half million dollars meantime in aid to syrian rebels during a visit to turkey it brings total funding to the opposition to eighty two million since the conflict began last year in istanbul clinton received a far from warm welcome riot police clashed with turkish antiwar activists from a leftist party who were trying to reach the building where she was to me promise to air they were offices responded with batons and tear gas at least five people were injured there ankara recently stepped up threats to weigh in with force in syria if it feels threatened from across the border activists and journalists on the part told me that by supporting the rebels the us is only adding to the violence. there's been some discussion of the possibility of a so-called black ops chemical to. where some of the u.s.
agent forces that are on the ground in syria fighting the government would launch a chemical attack and attempt to lay the blame for that on the syrian government mind i think that's a real possibility and very dangerous game to play you are on the one hand creating an enemy that has no state ties really isn't almost silent anywhere and that just is highly weaponized very angry and extremely religious the conduct of the war against the government on the soil where the syrian people live obviously cannot bring peace to the syrian people it's intended to provoke a response from the government the government has the choice of either not responding and allowing armed terrorists to blow things up to blow up their troops and to blow up and execute civilians all of which has been happening or to fight back which of course means that there are parts of the cities that get bombed and there are people that are displaced these two choices are what are being presented by american policy in syria. the u.n.
chief meantime has backed the presence of international monitors in syria which provided partial means of accessing the situation on the ground the observers extended mandate expires in less than ten days with a veteran algerian diplomat tied to become the new u.n. and arab league envoy kofi annan quit peter all of a. it's not a job many people would have wanted you think considering the situation in syria but it's that lakhdar brahimi will be taking over from kofi annan as the next special envoy on the syrian crisis now the seventy eight year old former algerian foreign minister does have pedigree when it comes to dealing with serious conflicts he was instrumental in forming a peace in the late one nine hundred eighty s. in the lebanese civil war in two thousand and one he was sent by the u.n. as the envoy to afghanistan as the united states invaded the country following nine eleven he was again sent to iraq in two thousand and three for the invasion of that
country representing the u.n. on that occasion but it's also interesting to look at what type of an envoy he will be kofi annan had quite openly spoke to both the syrian rebels and the assad government now if we look a little bit at better he means personal life his personal contacts we might see a different approach from him brahimi is daughter of former b.b.c. and c.n.n. correspondent is married to where one of the sons of the king of jordan. strong family ties their jordan of course a country that has been linked to the smuggling of weapons and other arms into syria into the hands of the syrian rebels and jordan of course a haven a place of choice for those defecting from the assad government to go so perhaps we could see focusing our attention focusing his attention on speaking to the rebels as opposed to the way that kofi annan tried to do it with speaking to both the
rebels and the assad government but it looks like he will take over from kofi annan so it looks like the next envoy going to be locked up or he me the former algerian foreign minister taking on that difficult job in syria. our correspondent peter all over katter's reportedly tried to bribe the syrian ambassador mauritania allegedly promising a million dollars and political asylum in exchange for defection the syrian diplomats thought to have turned down the offer calling it flagrant interference in syria's internal affairs middle east history and politics professor jeremy salt says gulf nations are using their huge financial clout to help topple the government of president. what about the gulf states is they have in the supplies money. to buy people out and this is the first question that should be asked of all these defectors how much they pay you how much do you get and there must be some kind of sliding scale i mean what is the ambassador worth what is a foreign minister worth what is a kind of a low level representative mauritania worth i mean he was reportedly been given or
offered one million dollars plus twenty thousand dollars a month for the next twenty years which you know is pretty good but one would imagine that people would be offered even more than we know what the beginning of this whole purchase move in the qatar is a bribe. the foreign minister tried to buy him out you refused he just rejected their offer so it's very kind of important part i mean anyone who's now high up in the syrian government if they want to kind of effect begin to get a lot of money to shore and they can go live in doha which might not be too advanced tastes but they will certainly get a lot of money if they turn their backs on their own governments coming up here on r t the fallout from the revolution in egypt few remaining jews fear escalating threats from the country's new leadership as cairo's relations with israel south of the report coming up and keeping the internet safe and free but is it really possible to achieve both we investigate in a few minutes. washington says it has visibility inside iran's nuclear program
confident it will know if iran moves towards building a bomb the remarks looked to be directed israel which warned earlier that the international community might not realize in time to prevent iran from acquiring a weapon israeli media suggest the country could launch an imminent strike on iran before the presidential elections in the united states the plans could lead to a rift between the allies then as the u.s. insists that tight the economic sanctions is enough of a new law signed on friday prohibits american entrepreneurs from doing business with the iranian oil sector and also shipping and insurance companies parties in a situation that reports. according to a major daily israeli newspaper the israeli prime minute. benjamin netanyahu and his defense minister would like to strike iran as early as before the u.s. presidential elections taking place in november this year now amid escalating media reports said experts predictions that such an attack could in fact be around the corner the peepers front page article on friday offered by its senior commentators
and reportedly based off of conversations with israel's defense minister says that if it were up to benjamin netanyahu and his minister of defense israel would cause a military attack on iran sometime within the next several months importantly israel's security cabinet ministers have been resisting such an option for now what's important here is while israel is weighing this option we know of course that iran continues to insist that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes exclusively and we have seen the obama administration be careful in urging israel to stick with diplomacy and now of course the big question is whether israel may in fact go ahead with such an attack and whether or not it will wait for a green light from washington importantly experts in this article are quoted to say that if such an attack were to take place before the u.s. presidential elections there this would cause
a major embarrassment to barack obama as well as really cast a blow to his success in these elections because as we know his main rival republican mitt romney has never excluded such an option. our correspondent in new york a lot of doubt say they'll call rough justice follow whether the white house ignored a court ban on indefinitely detaining american citizens without trial get a lot of clicks tonight from here also online for most paying the price for playing up to the camera another fatality in russia from the craze for posting pictures of dangerous stunts online. is. to.

make your statement. spread the word. through. the revolution in egypt shattered the tentative peace with neighboring israel with increasing rocket strikes across the sun i peninsula but it's not the relations between the countries that suffered egypt's jewish citizens living in fear to the arab spring that made them wary of both new rulers and their neighbors this policy or found. alone frightened and struggling one of the last of her people in
a land that no longer wants them selene has merely the photos of who did family for comfort she is one of cairo's few remaining jews once there were eighty thousand now there are fewer than twenty certainly i'm afraid certainly i am but as a bad light i just be able to forget. she has reason to be wary the new rulers of egypt the muslim brotherhood call for jihad and want the liberation of palestine they've launched a war of words against jews that goes as far as to threatened if it took us a long time to find something and when we did even longer to convince her to be interviewed by us she was worried that her neighbors would see her talking to a television crew eventually she agreed to talk to us here on the street but when i went to back to her building a neighbor spotted us and started screaming obscenities at her that is for that person in my view. the roots of jewish people run deep in the streets of cairo as
far back as the twelfth century pious jews trod these cobbled streets on the way to study with a non-physician rabbi moses been my morn our government has collected memories of the many jews who once lived here he proudly shows me articles of those he once knew about. this place used to be fooled jews they were all my friends but they all left in the early fifties sometimes they come back to visit me seven and we always see it and talk about the good old times better what a miserable look. it was a jewish man who told us that his trade the love of his life was also a jewish woman but his is a rare voice today in these streets it can be dangerous to ask where's the nearest synagogue. certainly i ever heard of though those are going to look bad not that they said that your job problem was to do like there was a good. come to that little country which few day to mention israel maybe divisions
among egyptians but they are united in their hatred of the neighbor. israel is a racist states which doesn't respect agreements and israeli jew is not welcome in egypt being in the military to continue between us i hate do with israel and its presence in the region is dangerous but. israel is a cancer our main enemy after the revolution of january it's now possible to cancel the peace agreement with them and so selene spins her remaining days alone holed up in her apartment and suffering from alzheimer's disease too afraid to venture out and when she does it's only for the shortest time just in the memory of a fast disappearing world policy r.t. cairo. so the. can we afford to be healthy. to eat a tomato yeah yeah it's. that the world we live to
a dog and they call that's the question our resident reporters got the answers in the streets of new york in just a few minutes time. rush's air force has been celebrating the same teener in spectacular style the skies over the moscow region a three day display is said to see national and foreign aviation aces before death defying stunts and pictures more than one hundred planes and helicopters taking part of the event including russia's like to state the art fight of the t. fifty the show also includes restored planes from the first and second world wars and the famed russian knights and swifts will be soaring in the skies over the weekend to the kremlin recently made their military a top priority with the two to spend over one hundred twenty billion dollars upgrading the air force over the next few days. so the news a brief one eighty people been reportedly killed and hundreds injured is too strong earthquakes of hit northwest around. and panicked residents fled the area as
aftershocks continued while communications and atrocity have been cut the quakes near the city of to bridge which has a nuclear research facility for most of the victims were thought to be from nearby smaller towns and villages. libyan army general and the senior defense ministry official what harm it had he has been shot dead a big gars even he was leaving a mosque after friday prayers when he was attacked by a group of gunman recent months has seen a string of deadly attacks in benghazi on security officials who served in the gadhafi regime as the dead man had the shooting happened a day after libya's new government assumed power. the police one of the checkpoint in afghanistan has opened fire on fellow officers it's left at least ten of them dead the attacker who is believed to have links with militants was later killed in a gun battle he comes a day after six nato troops were shot dead in separate attacks by afghans one of them a police chief killings by supposed colleagues of coalition troops are on the rise as u.s. led forces plan to pull out of the country by the end of twenty fourteen. u.s.
republican presidential candidate mitt romney has announced his running mate house budget committee chairman paul ryan is best known for trying to slash america's public spending by over five trillion dollars of cuts opposed by the democrat minority in congress romney's choice for his number two could prove crucial of course in his chances of winning the white house in november from barack obama who's ahead in the polls. greece is struggling to meet its budget targets as it tries to balance to satisfy its e.u. lenders earlier ratings giant standard and poor's lowered its outlook again on athens saying it might need another loan to survive later on this channel economist roger bootle tells r.t. that the only way forward for greece is to abandon the single currency now. i think there's no doubt that greece in my view needs to get out of the euro i cannot see any way in which this current policy of austerity. and really. this is going to be very far from
a magic wrong. track record. trying to. greece is going to go possibly go wrong so initially living standards are going to be squeezed far from bringing relief do we order a great person it's actually going to make matters worse initially however going forward things are then completely transformed because in a flash greece is more competitive not the grinding deflation they were ten or fifteen years but instantaneously greece is forty or fifty or sixty percent more competitive and the demand for greek output is going to take off that doesn't happen overnight but in a matter of months that will happen greek exports will start to rise greek imports will fall and that will generate employment and more income in greece so there's a trade off a difficult period to go through first of all in order to secure later greater prosperity. and. i just you know you
can watch the full interview with economist george bootle who's outlined his view on the least painful way for countries to leave the euro showing throughout the day here on r.t. . the debate over how to control the internet speed marked with growing political and social opposition despite the efforts of governments to limit the dangers from cyberspace critics say every proposal risks destroying web friedan that's the crucial thing to see catherine off script story. it is hard to argue against protecting young ones from dangers like child pornography that's what russia's new internet law aims to do by making it easier to remove harmful content from the web it gives the government new powers to blacklist pages even entire domains bypassing the courts but critics say it could be used for altogether different purposes russia's wikipedia was one of several websites to go dark and protest about. using this law to protect children ms blocking access to information for everyone including adults and that's not protection that's censorship. he could
be great britain united states france germany lawmakers say the bill is on par even weaker than what's on the books elsewhere but for online activists countries like the u.s. or britain are case studies in how not to regulate the web you can see the different countries use different tactics whether it's copyright laws or cyber security laws or just using national security as an excuse to go after for screech crease speech may be enshrined in america's constitution but in a world where acts of terror could come not only from a few extremists in suicide vests but from a few keystrokes on the computer the keystrokes of u.s. citizens are increasingly under suspicion if you see something say something according to these f.b.i. flyers anyone with a passing interest in personal data security could be a potential terrorist report suspicious activity of the authorities.
and while pre-crime detection may be the stuff of fiction the homeland security department is considering a virtual border patrol which would scan billions of bytes and bits to stop cyber crime before it happens that's like sticking a microphone in everyone's living room so you can listen to all the conversations and what is ray but our guys internet freedom advocates help defeat to controversial copyright bills but the u.s. house vote. to force private companies like facebook to share personal data with the government and military when it comes to protecting our civil rights and civil liberties we don't usually give a government check and that's really what these bills have done in a lot of ways across the atlantic britain is on the verge of a web why big brother internet and phone providers are reading black boxes to let the government to monitor every email phone call even as this is the first step to go taken control of it's. already blocks web pages it deems illegal but under the digital economy act it will soon add copyright violators to the blacklist anyone
suspected of illegal downloads could have their internet cut off. the war over how and who should control the internet may have been inevitable you're saying to yourself well no i understand this internet concept a lot on the internet. it's one of the biggest challenges facing governments of today and matter how well intentioned regulations will always be subject to criticism and shutting the line between security and censorship while it may be harder than it seems lucy catherine of r.t. . the us congress is struggling to pass a hundred billion dollar a year farm bill which also aims to reduce food for the next five years if history's big hits is those such as those making g.m. foods dominating the discussion ahead of nutrition and health groups but food historian says the desire for natural products is like to the grow. the people who
control the hands to most of the most high tech specially. those you know it's intellectual property out there and they don't know the people testing it if i did something wrong with it there's always a constant tension in not just american families that are around the world is that you have food scientists inventing new things for a new flavors and very consistent things like that that go into our food and have other people who say i just don't want this and i'd rather eat whole foods and things that are grown organically or or at least stain of leaf if you think of this search object or you know how our attitude towards changes then we move toward natural who is very big when i was his sixty's and seventy's it's come back now again and people are starting to do things themselves again in the room you know actionable isn't your meat cheese and things like that so this is definitely action against industrial food right now but i think it's going to be the next trend in a major way for the next several years cow or that's eaten g.m.o. corn it's not directly consumed by humans but it's indirect and down the line the
thing is we don't really know what that ten years after consuming people find that's something sees that the government so far has decided that these are virtually equal you know the corn that is g.m.o. and the corn that isn't. really you don't have to test that g.m.o. or because the same organs which i think might disagree. well with stay with nutrition next what do you prefer cheap food or take in some trouble to keep yourself healthy with organic teas resited reports is put on the streets of new york. are you sheep an easy or all organic when it comes to what you eat this week let's talk about that i don't care you don't care so you don't care what you put into your body i do. for the expense of organic food i mean it doesn't to me it doesn't
really make a difference i actually started juicing this year and i found out about it when i was getting a facial and there's a place called free foods right down that way and they have the best juices i've ever had in my life kale spinach faisal i mean it's like and it's like changing it sounds delicious it's delicious and expensive actually it is expensive but if you think about it a glass of wine is like nine dollars and it costs the same amount why do you think organic costs so much more regulation at least in finland it's really strict on what you can do and how you do it so and the crop is smaller so that's the problem doing doesn't that defy logic shouldn't it be cheaper to eat a tomato yeah yeah it should be true that the world we live and yet it isn't a medical doctor is there that the food is. let's say polluted or or it's not healthy like contains a lot of for a transfer and so on so on then it can lead to cancer but genetically modified food cannot lead to consummate this nonsense so there's
a lot of people that assert it dies why do you think they get away with that but why does the demo have such a bad rap i think it's mainly some kind of propaganda a lot more people are interested to get healthier and other parts of the world so where do you think america falls in that spectrum very well oh peace if he is the number one for kids here is it just a lack of knowledge or do people don't have the money time. we want to sit down for breakfast this morning any healthy just got here could not find everybody's running and grabbing about all the time so you're eating better and more gana act. and i did manage to keep him on the streets and there are records of the phrases in tree i know mine they might if it is not there you won't need it and master password a dollar at every person whether or not you eat organically the bottom line is you might want to take a minute to consider the old that are at them you are what you eat it's.
to. bring them. here. in forty acres and nineteen ninety three and decided it would be a great place to find the belle the home and retire. there she is. we call it our new neighbor neighbor nine o seven. we have seventy acres and i can't convince them that they need to drill somewhere besides to hunt. feat for. meeting the needs of a growing economy also means expanding our domestic production of oil and natural gas which are vital fuel for transportation electricity and manufacturing this is before any problems with it before we do right and then.
you know our flaws are not toxic and we did a lot of it there's a lot of mis understanding of what exactly in the fluids. time they said you can load here unless you come out here and live in my house for a week. i have no rights. to the. world to the future science technology innovation all the news developments around russia we've got the future covered. lines russia would be soo much brighter if you knew about song from finest impressions.

Best answer: Unfortunately, the ASUS ZenBook Duo does not come with LTE. However, there are tons of other reasons why it's a great device.
- Get yours: ASUS ZenBook Duo (£1,299 at Amazon UK)
On LTE and the ASUS ZenBook Duo
As stated above, the ASUS ZenBook Duo does not come with any kind of LTE connectivity, which is going to disappoint folks who were hoping they could use it to access the internet while away from a Wi-Fi connection. However, in truth, this may actually be somewhat of a blessing in disguise. Since the device has two screens to power and is equipped with specs that draw more power than the average modern laptop, the extra strain on the battery that LTE would bring may have resulted in a very short and unsatisfactory battery life. Though some would likely have been okay with this, the value of LTE goes down considerably if you can't use it for a long time.
Why you should still get the ASUS ZenBook Duo
Aside from the lack of LTE, the ASUS ZenBook Duo is an awesome device. Its dual HD screen design allows you to keep two tabs and/or programs open at once, which will no doubt help users significantly when it comes to multitasking. The display above the keyboard is touch-enabled, too, so you can use a stylus (included in the box) to highlight things or write down notes with it. The device doesn't disappoint in the slightest in the specs department, either, clocking in with an NVIDIA MX250 GPU, an Intel 10th Gen i7-10510U processor, and 16GB of RAM. With this hardware, you can easily tackle general work tasks without any problems, and you can even enjoy some light gaming too. The 10th Gen Intel CPU also gives the device compatibility with Wi-Fi 6, the latest Wi-Fi standard that improves connection stability and speed.
From a physical design perspective, the ASUS ZenBook Duo is also a great laptop. It weighs just 3.3 pounds (1.5kg), making it an easy device to carry around with you on the go. On top of that, the bezels are super thin too, which is always a nice bonus.

Given our travel to Alabama last week, it was a short cooking week last week, and another short week for this one as well. But I managed to sneak in a few good meals, which was especially important given that my Dad was visiting for a few days.
Our dog sitter was kind enough to pick up (and wash/bag) my farm share produce, God bless her, which this week was made up of every shade of green.
- Swiss chard
- Kirby cucumbers
- Mariachi peppers
- Green beans
- Green peppers
- Fresh basil
- Romaine lettuce
- Sweet corn
Since we got in on Sunday night and my Dad was set to arrive on Monday afternoon, I didn’t have much shopping or prep time, so most of what I cooked during his visit was from the share and a good scrounge through the refrigerator.
After a travel snafu that got my Dad in a few hours later than planned, we decompressed on the dock with a bottle of rosé and a big platter of deconstructed wedge salad. I’ve seen the Smitten Kitchen version in Deb’s cookbook, and this one comes pretty close with layers of iceberg lettuce stacked and coated in a lemony buttermilk dressing. Although the iceberg lettuce wasn’t from my CSA box, I’d picked it up on a whim at the store thinking that it would be a perfect match for the smoky local bacon from the Ringwood farmer’s market each weekend.
To make the lemony buttermilk iceberg wedge:
Make a 1lb package of bacon using your favorite method. Set aside to cool. While the bacon is cooling, make the lemony buttermilk dressing by mixing 1/3 cup of buttermilk with the juice of a half lemon. Add 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt for body, season with salt and pepper, and then gradually whisk in 1/3 cup of olive oil to emulsify. Set aside.
Cut the iceberg lettuce into quarters, removing the tougher core, and separating the lettuce into large leaves. Prep the rest of the salad ingredients: Break the bacon into crumbles; dice ½ pint of cherry tomatoes; crumble ¼ lb of blue cheese, slice 2-3 green onions crosswise.
To assemble the salad, layer 1/3 of the iceberg lettuce, and 1/3 of the remaining ingredients on top, ending with the dressing. Complete two more layers like this, ending with the dressing (reserving a few green onions for the top). Sprinkle the salad with the remaining green onions, and give the whole thing a big grinding of black pepper and a pinch of smoked Maldon salt.
My dad always seems to be on a diet so I backed off of the bacon-studded waffle plan and kept him on a steady breakfast/lunch feed of tomatoes and avocados with a squeeze of lime.
But at a certain point, I have to cave and cook real food. I can only see someone consume so much prune juice and Special K.
Starved for a little substance, I made one hell of a dinner with the corn and potatoes from our share, along with one of my favorite dishes of all time: pomegranate chicken, which is lacquered with homemade pomegranate molasses just before serving. If you want the recipe, be sure to track it down in this post.
My old neighborhood butcher in Chelsea recommended this preparation for potatoes and I’ve used it a few times since – it’s foolproof, and the best way to get them to that ethereal place where soft and crispy come together in one perfect bite.
To make the smashed, fried potatoes:
Place 8-10 small-medium sized new potatoes (skin on) into a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes until the potatoes can be pierced with a knife. Drain the potatoes, and let cool (this can be done up to a few hours ahead). When ready to finish, bring the oven to 350 degrees, and smash the potatoes lightly with the bottom of a heavy glass. Place the potatoes on a sheet pan, and brush them with olive oil. Bake until crispy, turning halfway through, about 20 minutes total. Alternatively you can fry them on the stove with a little olive oil. When the potatoes are ready to be served, load them into a large bowl and scatter some smoked salt and cracked black pepper over the top.
But the best trick this week came from Kasha of Bialas Farms, who, in her weekly newsletter, turned us all onto a method that she uses for corn. You can read about it in her post here, but the gist is that you score the corn at the handle end, then microwave the corn and peel back the husk and silk in one fell swoop. No boiling water, no soaking, no hard-to-peel silk – it all just strips right off. And it’s the only way I’ll be preparing corn from now on – along with Vermont Creamery’s maple butter and a good sprinkling of sea salt.
Feeling just a little bit guilty about stuffing my Dad full of food the night before, we switched back to light meals the next day. For breakfast I made a komatsuna frittata, along with a faux pappardelle made with raw zucchini noodles.
The komatsuna had been sitting in my fridge since Week 4 and remarkably, was still as fresh as the day I picked it up. Hard to believe that vegetables can retain their crispness for several weeks, but as I’ve mentioned before in my CSA posts, it’s a testament to how fresh your food is when you buy it directly from the farm.
I hadn’t cooked with komatsuna before, so with a little Googling, found out that although it’s an Asian green, it has a similar flavor profile as spinach.
One of my favorite ways to use my greens at breakfast is to bake them into a frittata. And the frittata with these komatsuna greens was heavenly – all it needed was a little pecorino and a small wedge is enough to stave off the hunger Gods for a few hours.
To make the komatsuna frittata:
Wash and dry a large head of komatsuna and chop the leaves and stalks. Sautee in some olive oil, with salt and pepper until wilted, put aside. In a large bowl, whisk 6 eggs, 2 tablespoons of half and half, and when combined, add 1/3 cup of pecorino. Heat a medium nonstick sautee pan on medium-high heat, and add a pat of butter. When melted, add the greens and eggs, stirring for the first few minutes until the bottoms are starting to set. Transfer the pan to a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until puffed and golden, and no longer runny in the middle. Let the frittata rest, and then run a rubber spatula around the edge to loosen, then flip the frittata onto a plate to serve.
And did you see those noodles? I’ve been raving to everyone who’ll listen about that handy little spiralizer that you can pick up on Amazon. Since I bought my first spiralizer a few months ago, I’ve been making zucchini noodles non-stop; they’re the perfect vehicle for all of the extra pesto that I’ve been making this summer.
The problem with raving about the spiralizers is that I’ve been giving them away to anyone who’ll listen. My mum and most recently, our host in Alabama, received them as gifts when I urged them to just keep the ones that I’d brought with my on vacation. (Yes, I travel with kitchen tools, and so does Joy the Baker; if you judge, judge us both). The problem with traveling with tools and giving them away is that you’re left without.
The good news is that necessity, as we all know, is the mother of invention. Forced to make noodles without a spiralizer, I found out that my carrot peeler does a darn good job of making wider noodles. And noodles can be the foundation for just about anything that your CSA sends your way – this dish used fresh corn, tomatoes, peaches, and a little basil.
The salads didn’t end there. Buying into a CSA will make a voracious salad eater out of the wimpiest of vegetable consumers – there’s just no way around it. Forced to contend with the mound of vegetables that comes my way each week, I make at least one salad on most days.
Although this doesn’t look particularly inspired – a chopped bowl of veg, including romaine, green beans, radishes, Kirby cucumbers, corn, and a can of rinsed and drained black beans – it’s the foundation of something pretty special…
Add a lime, cumin and cilantro vinaigrette and all of a sudden it’s a Mexican-inspired masterpiece with a tart bite that wakes up all of the vegetables, lifting them from the mundane to the sublime. Especially when it’s topped with crumbled Cotija cheese. If you don’t believe me, ask my two girls who devoured it. I wouldn’t normally call any of my dishes “masterpieces” but when you get two kids under the age of 6 to eat two bowls of salad apiece, you have the right to call it anything you want. I think.
To make the lime, cumin and cilantro vinaigrette:
In a medium bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of ground cumin with 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespooons of lime juice, and 2 tablespoons of cilantro pesto (I usually have this prepped and on hand, but if you don’t have the pesto, you could use basil pesto, or just proceed without the pesto, adding chopped cilantro at the end). Season the mixture with salt and pepper, and then in a slow, steady stream, add 1/3 cup of olive oil. This may make more dressing than you need for your salad, and if that’s the case, just cover and refrigerate the remainder for a day or two.
At last my Dad left, and all was once again quiet on the home front. I love company, but after 10 straight days of visits and commotion, I was ready for some downtime.
On our first night alone, we cooked these stuffed peppers using our green peppers from the share, some local grass-fed beef, quinoa, chard, smoked mozzarella and a homemade tomato sauce. I kept the sauce pretty mild knowing that my kids would be eating the peppers, but you can always kick up the spice level a notch.
And for the record, they make the prettiest presentation. Response from the kids? “These taste like pizza”. And like the salad, a meal that was initially snubbed, was scarfed.
To make the peppers:
To make the tomato sauce, sautée an onion in a medium-sized pot until golden, and then add a 28 oz can of whole tomatoes + a pinches of garlic salt and chili flakes. Simmer 30-45 mins and then blend with immersion blender. You can make this spicier by adding more chili flakes.
To make the stuffing, sautee two big garlic cloves and two big shallots in some olive oil. When the onions are beginning to soften, add 1 lb of grass fed beef, and some chopped lemon thyme (or other woody herb like thyme or rosemary). Cook the beef until no longer pink, then season with salt & pepper. This makes enough sauce for 4 peppers, but if you’re planning on making 8, double the recipe.
In a large bowl, mix the beef, two cups of cooked quinoa and a head of chard that’s already been blanched, squeezed and chopped. Dice an 8oz ball of smoked mozzarella and add it to the beef mixture. The mixture will stuff 8 peppers, but if you’d like, you can make 4 peppers and then like I did, freeze the remaining half.
Layer the sauce in a casserole dish, then add the stuffed peppers, right side up. Bake 45 mins, serving each bowl with a spoonful of the tomato sauce, and a pepper on top.
Along with the tip for preparing corn, another fun preparation this week was with the Kirby pickles. Kasha mentioned to check out these easy fridge pickles from Smitten Kitchen – and true to form, they couldn’t be easier. There’s no brine- just a scattering of salt and vinegar.
There’s something mind-numbingly enjoyable about slicing large numbers of vegetables on a mandoline, so I was eager to find some time late one evening to just sit, sip wine & slice. And like a true glutton for punishment, I wished at the end of my slicing session that I could have sliced double the cucumbers.
I didn’t follow Deb’s recipe completely. Having no dill on hand, and a ton of Mariachi peppers, I went for a sweet & spicy pickle instead. For color, texture and flavor, I added some lemon thyme and pink peppercorns, and they might just be the best snackable thing in my fridge right now. Fortunately they’ll keep this way for a few weeks (if they last that long).
To make the Mariachi sweet & spicy fridge pickles:
Make a spicy simple syrup with 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of water, and 2 sliced Mariachi peppers. Bring to a boil, and then let steep for at least 30 minutes. Strain and reserve the liquid. When ready to make the pickles, mix your simple syrup with 1 ½ cups of pickling vinegar. Set aside.
Slice 8 Kirby cucumbers on a mandoline. Layer 1/3 of the cucumbers into a large mason jar, add 1-2 teaspoons of salt (depending on how salty you’d like them), a pinch of whole pink peppercorns, and a few sprigs of lemon thyme (or herb of your choice). Add 2 more layers to use up the rest of the cucumbers.
Pour your pickling liquid (syrup + vinegar mixture) over the cucumbers, close the lid tightly and then give the jar a good shake. Place in the fridge, shaking the jar occasionally to keep the cucumbers bathed in the liquid. The liquid won’t cover the cucumbers all the way, but as the salt works its magic, the cukes will lose some of their water, and will compress into the bottom of the jar. They’ll be ready to eat in an a few hours and will keep in the fridge like this for a few weeks.
And now for the announcement: I mentioned it on the Feed Me Dearly Facebook page last week, and wanted to give you a few more details.

First of all, I'd like to confess that I'm somewhat of a Michael Moore fan. I've enjoyed his books and movies ever since Roger and Me, I've went to a booksigning of his just to meet him and get a signed book, and I made it a point to see Fahrenheit 9/11 on the first day it was out.
That said, I tend to look at most things, Moore's movies included, with a critical eye. The biggest problems I have with this movie are not with its content, but the way the content will be recieved. Moore has created an extremely powerful movie, but will it meet its goal of persuading people to change their minds about Bush or the war against terrorism? I really don't think so, and I'll explain why.
The crowd at the theater had already made up their minds about Bush. The movies main points - Bush was elected unfairly, Bush is an idiot who didn't know what to do for seven minutes after the second plane hit the tower, Bush diverted attention to creating a war against Iraq as soon as possible, and that he lied to the American people - were all applauded loudly by the crowd inside. Moore used an extreme amount of artistic licence and left out many facts to make his point, and the audience lapped up his viewpoint without question. This was not an audience that needed any additional persuading not to vote for Bush. Perhaps conservatives are seeing the movie in other theaters or waiting until the lines die down. But I didn't see them or hear any of them at the showing I attended.
The thing is, people who are still on the fence about who to vote for this November are likely to be those who need to understand both sides of the story. This movie deliberately sidesteps anything that could be used to question its points of view. Anyone who needs to see a different viewpoint about the things in Moore's movie will have to look elsewhere. When they do, it will become immediately apparent how Moore deliberately avoided lots of obvious things to make the points he did.
For instance, the movie states that with any possible recount, Gore would have been re-elected. That's a rather narrow viewpoint, because with both the recount the Supreme Court stopped and with the recount Gore wanted, Gore still would have lost. What Moore meant, but didn't say was that with any possible statewide recount with a certain arbitrary standard applied uniformly, Gore would have come out ahead. But we are made to believe that the Supreme Court stopped a process that would have resulted in a Gore presidency. Not true.
Richard Clarke appears in this movie where he states the Bush administration too quickly focused on Iraq, which weakened our war with Al-Qaeda. The movie also makes you believe that Bush was behind getting the Bin Laden's family out of the U.S. before the general ban on flight was lifted. What it doesn't say is that the flights didn't begin until the ban was lifted - and the authorization to get the Bin Ladens out of the country was made by Clarke himself.
Anyone wanting to dig a little will have no problem finding out that Moore was against taking action against Afghanistan when we did. But one of this movie's main points was that we didn't go after Osama hard enough and fast enough.
Moore portrays Iraq before we bombed it as an idyllic place, with children playing in the streets and happy citizens going about their business. This at the very least ignores the basic facts about Sadaam's murderous regime. For someone who really wanted to examine the facts, they could easily find out that more people were killed and maimed each year under Sadaam's regime than under the occupation. But this is opposite of the impression we get from this movie.
That's not to say this movie didn't score any points with this skeptical viewer. The scene of the contractors convention designed to teach people how to profit from the war turned my stomach. Watching the blank stare on Bush's face after he was told about the second plane made me seriously wonder about his competence. And I hadn't realized the extent the Bush family was involved with the Saudis.
As I said earlier, I don't think this movie alone will persuade anyone still on the fence to make up their mind one way or another. Although I made up my mind a long time ago who I would vote for(Kerry), I also supported the removal of Sadaam. This movie had too many narrow opinions, conspiracy theories and omissions to convince me my support of the war was wrong. And I suspect anyone else who hasn't made up their minds about the war or who to vote for will still need to look elsewhere for their facts.
All in all, Fahrenheit was an extremely entertaining movie. But it's just that - entertainment, and not the scathing political bombshell Moore hoped it would be.
