For people with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) not caused by a heart valve problem

If you live with a higher risk of stroke due to AFib, ELIQUIS gives you 3 GOOD REASONS to rethink warfarin.

1 2 ELIQUIS also had less major bleeding than warfarin. 3 Unlike warfarin, there’s no routine blood testing. In a clinical trial, ELIQUIS® (apixaban) reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin.

ELIQUIS and other blood thinners increase the risk of bleeding which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death.

Ask your doctor if ELIQUIS is right for you. ELIQUIS is a prescription medicine used to reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots in people who have atrial ﬁbrillation, a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Do not stop taking ELIQUIS without talking to the doctor who prescribed it for you. Stopping ELIQUIS increases your risk of having a stroke. ELIQUIS may need to be stopped, prior to surgery or a medical or dental procedure. Your doctor will tell you when you should stop taking ELIQUIS and when you may start taking it again. If you have to stop taking ELIQUIS, your doctor may prescribe another medicine to help prevent a blood clot from forming. ELIQUIS can cause bleeding which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. This is because ELIQUIS is a blood thinner medicine that reduces blood clotting. You may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take ELIQUIS and take other medicines that increase your risk of bleeding, such as aspirin, NSAIDs, warfarin (COUMADIN®), heparin, SSRIs or SNRIs, and other blood thinners. Tell your doctor about all medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. While taking ELIQUIS, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Get medical help right away if you have any of these signs or symptoms of bleeding: - unexpected bleeding, or bleeding that lasts a long time, such as unusual bleeding from the gums; nosebleeds that happen often, or menstrual or vaginal bleeding that is heavier than normal - bleeding that is severe or you cannot control - red, pink, or brown urine; red or black stools (looks like tar) - coughing up or vomiting blood or vomit that looks like coffee grounds - unexpected pain, swelling, or joint pain; headaches, feeling dizzy or weak

ELIQUIS is not for patients with artiﬁcial heart valves. Do not take ELIQUIS if you currently have certain types of abnormal bleeding or have had a serious allergic reaction to ELIQUIS. Before you take ELIQUIS, tell your doctor if you have: kidney or liver problems, any other medical condition, or ever had bleeding problems. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant or breastfeed. Take ELIQUIS exactly as prescribed by your doctor and reﬁll your prescription before you run out. Possible serious side effects include bleeding or a reaction to ELIQUIS itself. A reaction to ELIQUIS can cause hives, rash, itching, and possibly trouble breathing. Get medical help right away if you have sudden chest pain or chest tightness, have sudden swelling of your face or tongue, have trouble breathing, wheezing, or feeling dizzy or faint. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088. Please see additional Important Product Information on the adjacent page.

Ask Marilyn By Marilyn vos Savant

Nine family members will be renting a vacation property. The fee is $3,600 for 10 days. People will be staying for a varying number of days. I say the ﬁrst step in ﬁguring what each person owes is to divide the fee by nine. My husband says we should start by dividing the fee by 10—the number of days we have the rental. Who is right? —Debbie Thomas, Buena Park, Calif.

Neither of you, but the dilemma is common. Here’s a way for anyone to solve this kind of vacation problem with any number of guests, days, etc. I’ll use your case as an example, and I’ll assume a family member who’s there surrounded by loved ones pays the same per day as one who gets the place all to him- or herself. First, add up the number of days each family member stays. (Let’s say your nine people stay a total of 5+6+6+8+8+9+10+10+10 = 72 days.) Then divide the total rental fee by that ﬁgure ($3,600 ÷ 72 days = $50 per “person-day”). Each family member owes that result ($50) multiplied by the number of days he or she stays. So in this example, a person who stays ﬁve days owes $250. A person who stays all 10 owes $500. AUGUST 25, 2013 | 7

RECIPES EXCERPTED FROM PICKLES, PIGS & WHISKEY: RECIPES FROM MY THREE FAVORITE FOOD GROUPS AND THEN SOME BY JOHN CURRENCE (ANDREWS MCMEEL, 2013)

R ET

grew up in south Louisiana, a place where football is taken very seriously. LSU fans are ferocious, and most people have trouble stomaching the enthusiasm. Tailgates are no exception. Fans barbecue whole hogs, fry turkeys, stew alligator, drink heartily, and get loud in the process. Until 1992, it was about all I knew of college tailgating, and I loved it. Twenty years ago, I moved to Oxford, home of the University of Mississippi, and I thought I’d ﬁt right in in a town with such a rich football tradition, where the faithful famously set up shop every Saturday to tailgate and cheer on their beloved Ole Miss Rebels. It was a joyful scene, deserving of every bit of its reputation for being the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s best party. Its single ﬂaw, to me, was that it seemed tragically civilized.

Ole Miss pregame is held in the Sistine Chapel of tailgating: the Grove. The tradition is legendary—10 acres of ancient oaks and green space, steps from the gridiron. Men cross swords over inches of grass they consider their own. Women lay out silver service, hang chandeliers from the aluminum frames of their tents, and dress as if every one of those Saturdays were the Kentucky Derby. Giant ﬂat screens pop up everywhere and blare SportsCenter and College GameDay. Most fans swill from red and blue continued on page 10

1. Make pickled eggs: Put eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and add ¼ cup cider vinegar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil 8 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water. Immediately plunge eggs into ice water. Peel eggs. 2. Combine remaining ½ cup apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, white wine, shallots, garlic, peppercorns, allspice, red pepper ﬂakes, smoked

paprika, bay leaves, and cloves in a nonreactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Decrease heat to medium-low and simmer 5 minutes. Put cooled eggs in a nonreactive container, pour hot brine over them, and let cool. Stir in scallions. Let eggs pickle, submerged in brine, at least overnight. 3. Assemble: Cut pickled eggs in half lengthwise and gently scoop out yolks into bowl of a stand mixer ﬁtted with a paddle attachment. Blend in mayonnaise, shallots, garlic, mustard, Tabasco, black pepper, salt, paprika, curry powder, sugar, parsley, and celery leaves and mix until smooth. 4. Scoop yolk mixture into a small zip-top plastic bag and force mixture toward a corner. Squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag. Snip off a small piece from that corner and pipe mixture into egg halves. Top with roe, onion, white pepper, and crème fraîche.

plastic cups. Children throw footballs and play cornhole. To my Louisianan mind, the pregame ritual has always been less about gentility and more about preparing for battle. Fans are, after all, the X factor. Pregame is about good food with friends to fuel the body for three or four hours of standing in the stadium. It’s about pounding a little liquid courage and practicing ritual good-luck rites. Whereas LSU’s tailgates looked like a scene from Braveheart, the Grove seemed straight out of Steel Magnolias. In recent years, though, the tide has begun to turn. Rebel Nation has arrived. The new generation is unsatisﬁed with mediocrity in football and formality

1. Brine chicken: Combine 5 quarts very warm water with salt in a foodgrade bucket or stock pot. Stir until salt has dissolved. Stir in Worcestershire, thyme, bay leaves, sage, hot sauce, and peppercorns. Let cool. Submerge chicken in cooled brine and refrigerate at least 2½ hours, or overnight if possible. 2. Smoke chicken: Remove chicken

of meats. Booze flows with abandon (though covertly and respectfully). The unwritten rule: Act right and keep it clean and there’ll be no trouble. The fire is lit and the menu is changing. Turkey legs and barbecue are replacing fancified

from brine and drain. Using a large kitchen knife, split chicken down breast and cut through backbone so it lies ﬂat in a stove-top smoker. (If you’re using a larger outdoor smoker or smoking on a grill, you can leave the chicken whole.) Prepare a smoker with soaked wood chips and place on stove over high heat. As soon as chips begin to smoke, place chicken on rack and close smoker tightly. Lower heat to medium and cook chicken to an internal temperature of 160°F, about 35 minutes. 3. Make salad: Remove chicken from smoker, cool, and dice into ½-inch cubes. Combine mayonnaise, mustard, thyme, rosemary, parsley, peanuts, shallots, celery and celery leaves, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and blend together well. Stir in chicken and grapes and toss to fully coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours before serving. Serve on buns or bread as sandwiches, if desired.

cocktail party fare. Just give these folks a few more wins and see how the landscape changes. They’ve traded proper for primed and formal for formidable. I’ve always kept my mouth shut when the Rebels and the LSU Tigers line up on the

ﬁeld. It’s always been a win-win for me, but now, I’ve been converted. This year, you can count on me showing up in red and blue war paint, gnawing on a turkey leg, and drinking whatever the hell is in that red plastic cup. Hotty Toddy!

At 2, the native of Breaux Bridge, La., learned to play the accordion; at 6, he performed on The Rosie O’Donnell Show; by 13 he was competing on America’s Most Talented Kid. He plays all 32 instruments on his latest album, Hunter Hayes (Encore), a rerelease of his selftitled 2011 debut with eight new or rerecorded tunes, including the hit “Storm Warning.” In October, this CMA New Artist of the Year award winner will kick off his Let’s Be Crazy tour.

No. I’ve always been shy, but I see that as a good thing because it kept me focused on music.

What Would Dr. King Say Today?

On the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I have a dream” speech, three civil rights experts consider the issues he would raise in 2013 By Bill Hewitt

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) is a civil rights and feminist leader and former chair of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

“ Justice for All On Aug. 28, 1963, in front of a crowd of 250,000, King departed from his prepared words to share a dream that would mesmerize the nation.

fundamental sense. He would still be longing for that day when we will let freedom ring ‘from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city.’ ” Stanford University historian Clayborne Carson is the editor of King’s papers and the author of Martin’s Dream: My Journey and the Legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.

“

It seems to me Dr. King would speak out about the 99 percent. For the past two generations, we’ve seen a growing gap between the middle class and the people at the top. We’ve lost the generational mobility that made this country great. And that’s not a problem only

for the middle class. Dr. King would see that poor people are now almost ﬁxed in place because the middle class is diminishing, and there’s less opportunity to move up. He would still be talking about social justice in the broadest way. Remember, race was by no means his only concern. In his view, poor white people were as important to America’s future as poor black people. He would take every opportunity to put the plight of the middle class and the problem of poverty at the top of the country’s agenda, which is exactly what we need today. Occupy Wall Street got people’s attention with this issue. Some polls showed that the majority of Americans agreed

Dr. King would be talking about the need for quality education for all the nation’s youth. He would argue that while we managed to eject Jim Crow from public accommodations, we did not remove it from public schools. He understood the plight of sharecroppers who lived their entire lives without government-protected constitutional access to a fundamental right on which all other rights depend: the right to vote. He would argue that education is also a constitutional right, and that allowing Jim Crow public schooling—meaning that poor kids don’t have the same access to resources as privileged kids— is effectively condemning those children to similar lives of hopeless poverty, especially in the information age.” Bob Moses is the founder and president of the Algebra Project Inc. and was the director of the Mississippi Voting Rights campaigns of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee from 1961 to 1965.

“

What’s striking about the speech is how much of it remains relevant. Certainly Dr. King would not be talking about a sweltering summer of demonstrations, because we live in a much quieter time. But the rest of the speech he could readily give today. For example, in the ﬁrst part of his address, he essentially carries on a dialogue with Thomas Jefferson as to whether the country has lived up to the ideal of the Declaration of Independence. I think he’d insist that we are still some distance from that ideal. Fifty years later, we haven’t committed ourselves to ridding America of poverty and all its destructive social consequences. He would be particularly surprised that a half century after a freedom movement overcame the southern Jim Crow system, there are too many AfricanAmericans whose freedom is limited by a criminal justice system that incarcerates blacks at a far higher rate than whites for similar offenses. It’s deeply ironic that a freedom movement has culminated in a situation in which large segments of the black community are imprisoned or on parole and thus still not free in the most

with the protesters. But they lacked a credible leader. Nobody came forward. Dr. King was the sort of brilliant leader who could make that issue come alive.”

1. Make ﬁlling: Warm olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Crumble in pork and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Brown pork, stirring constantly, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a small bowl. 2. Add onion, red and green bell peppers, celery, and garlic to skillet. Sauté over medium heat until vegetables begin to wilt. Add Creole seasoning, sweet potato, and peas and warm through. Add pork and combine. Stirring, sprinkle ﬂour over mixture and combine well. Stir in cane syrup, bourbon, and stock and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. As soon as liquid thickens, remove from heat and stir in scallions. Set aside to cool.

3. Assemble: Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out dough on a floured work surface to just over ¹∕8 inch thick. Cut into 3½-inch circles. Put about 1½ Tbsp filling on half of each dough circle. Brush edges of dough with beaten egg and fold dough over, crimping with a fork to seal. Brush top of pie with egg. Repeat with all dough circles. 4.

Scatter frozen butter and lard over flour. Pulse mixture until it resembles a coarse meal. Whisk together 5 Tbsp whole milk and 1 large egg. Dump flour mixture into a stainless-steel bowl. With a fork, slowly blend in milk mixture until dough just barely begins to come together. Flour your hands and dough and knead dough lightly in bowl until it just comes together. Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead, folding dough over several times, until it just begins to look homogenous. Cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate to let relax, 30 minutes.
