Βενιζέλος, Σαμαράς, Παπαδήμος λεηλάτησαν μετρητά των ΑΕΙ, ΤΕΙ ,Νοσοκομείων ΕΟΦ κλπ

 Λεηλάτησαν... ΑΕΙ, ΤΕΙ, νοσοκομεία! Τραβούν τα μαλλιά τους οι πρυτάνεις των ελληνικών πανεπιστημίων, οι πρόεδροι των ΤΕΙ και οι διοικητές των δημόσιων νοσοκομείων. Ξαφνικά, ο ένας μετά τον άλλον ανακαλύπτουν ότι οι καταθέσεις που είχαν τα ιδρύματα των οποίων προΐστανται στην Τράπεζα της Ελλάδος... έχουν κάνει φτερά σχεδόν ολοσχερώς! Το κεντρικό τραπεζικό ίδρυμα της χώρας, χωρίς να τους ρωτήσει, κατ' εντολήν της κυβέρνησης είχε μετατρέψει εν κρυπτώ τα αποθεματικά των ΑΕΙ, των ΤΕΙ και των νοσοκομείων σε ομόλογα του ελληνικού Δημοσίου, τα οποία στη συνέχεια... «κούρεψε» με το περιβόητο PSI - δηλαδή καταλήστεψε τα λεφτά των ανώτατων και ανώτ

Strawberry Lemon Quick Bread

I’ve said it before a million times that I am so blessed to live in Florida in the winter time…summer time not so much, and this year doubly so.  With our mild temperatures all of our food crops did amazingly well.  I found that I had an abundance of things that I love.  Two of them being lemons and strawberries.This year the strawberry and lemon crops have been so plentiful that I had so many lemons and strawberries that I just had no way of getting them used up unless I made something with them.  I searched high and low for a recipe for that used both strawberries and lemons. Weird huh?  Not many out there.  So I adapte

Canada's Autism Epidemic? To Start With We Have to Use American Numbers 1in 88 Children, 1 in 54 Boys

Canada Flag Photo by Harold L DohertyThe CDC in the US has released new numbers on the autism epidemic in the US.  It now estimates that 1in 88 children (1 in 54 boys) have an autism disorder.  There are no known, reliable estimates available for Canada which has not updated its autism estimates in several years.  The Harper government has not taken Canada's national autism crisis seriously preferring to hide behind constitutional walls and leave the availability of treatment to an autistic child to depend on which province his/her parents live in.  A National Autism Symposium was cancelled once the Harper government became aware t

Sour Cream & Meyer Lemon Pound Cake

One ingredient that I feel captures the beauty of spring is lemons. They're refreshing, cleansing and the bright, sunny color does nothing but make me smile. Even better is using lemons this time of year when baking. I recently came across a great deal on Meyer lemons. Unlike your typical lemon, the Meyer variety is much sweeter with notes of orange and lime. Using some of the Meyer lemons I had, I made this Sour Cream & Meyer Lemon Pound Cake to welcome spring. The tender crumb, pockets of lemony goodness and the sweet glaze makes this pound cake a great addition to a holiday Easter menu...This cake is all about the lemons. You won't find any lem

Black Bean and Goat Cheese Pizza

Last week one day I put a post on Facebook saying that I was making a black bean and goat cheese pizza.  Having never tried it before I added the comment at the end…”How could that not be good right?”  To those of you who responded that there was no way it could be good, you’re just plain crazy. This ended up being an absolutely delicious pizza and we all were fighting for the leftovers the next day.  I pretty much followed the same recipe that I use when I make black bean and goat cheese quesadillas the only real change being the pizza crust instead of tortillas. Goat Cheese and Black Bean PizzaPreheat oven to 500F (I use a pizza stone

Blue Cheese & Caramelized Onion Meatloaf

When it comes to flavor and ingredient combinations, I like to bring together things that are already familiar and incorporate them into a dish that's unexpected. It's a fun way to put a twist on classic foods. Tonight, I gave a classic meatloaf a fun new twist with this Blue Cheese & Caramelized Onion Meatloaf. Blue cheese and caramelized onions are a delicious duo on many things like pizza, pasta and even on steak... so why not incorporate these same ingredients in a meatloaf? Each bite has a taste of tangy blue cheese and sweet caramelized onions all mixed in. You just may look at meatloaf in a whole different light...You can bake this in a few

Biscoff Swirled Brownies

I've succumbed to the trend... that is Biscoff. If you have yet to hear or experience the deliciousness of Biscoff, you are missing out. What is Biscoff? Well, they are similar to shortbread, tea or biscuit cookies with caramelized flavor kissed with cinnamon and gingerbread notes. They're extremely popular abroad and are often enjoyed with tea. The folks of Biscoff had the genius idea of making a spread by crushing these cookies. The spread is very close to peanut butter and as addicting as Nutella (if not, moreso.) Aside from enjoying it on its own, the spread is especially good with chocolate. That's when these Biscoff Swirled Brownies found their

Autism Research Bias and the DSM-5 Autism Do-Over Exclusion of Those with Intellectual Disabilities

Why has the APA decided that the DSM-5 Autism Spectrum Disorder should eliminate or substantially reduce the numbers of persons with ASD who are intellectually disabled?   The removal from an ASD diagnosis of persons with ID will be accomplished by the express wording of Mandatory Criterion A of the DSM-5's New Autism Spectrum Disorder which requires "A. Persistent deficits in social communication and social interaction across contexts, not accounted for by general developmental delays.."  Where the numbers of persons with intellectual disability constitute the vast majority of persons with Autistic Disorder under the DSM-IV they will now
