(NAPS)—If you think all
gluten-free cookies are also taste-
free and serious—think again.
Here’s a recipe fordelicious
gluten-free cookies that contain

cherries.
The recipe was created by

ipe developer, Editor-in-Chief of
Simply Gluten-Free magazine
(SimplyGluten-free.c0m) and TV
chef
Many bakers are known to use
maraschino cherries to add color
and flavor to cookies, cakes and
other dishes. That’s why it’s com-
mon to find a jar or two in their
pantries. That way, the cherries
are available when the inspiration
strikes.

A cookie that contains pista-
chlos, white chocolate chips and
maraschino cherries—and they
are gluten-free.
Cream the butter with the
two sugars in a mixer. Beat in
the eggs, one at a time, heat-

incorporated. Add the cream
and vanilla and mix well.
Combine the flour, baking
powder and salt in a mixing
bowl and whisk together. Add

and beat just until combined.
With a spatula, scrape the
bottom and sides of the mixing
bowl to make sure all ingredi-

Add the chopped cherries, pis-
tachios and white chocolate
chips and fold in.
Drop spoonfuls of the cook-
ie dough onto the prepared

Students Need Internet At Home
(NAPS)——As schools increas—
ingly turn to the Internet and new
technologies, more and more, stu-
dents are asked to perform online
research, grades and assignments
are posted on websites, and com—
munication between teachers and
parents and students is done
through e-mail. Because of this,
it’s increasingly important for
families to have access to the
Internet at home.
Unfortunately, about 30 per-
cent of Americans, particularly
those from low-income communi-
ties, are still not connected to the
Internet at home. Research shows
the main reasons include a lack of
understanding of how the Internet
is relevant and useful to daily life,
the cost of a home computer and
the cost of Internet service.
To combat these barriers,
there’s Internet Essentials from
Comcast, the nation’s largest and
most comprehensive broadband
adoption program. It’s connected
more than 350,000 families since
2011, or about 1.4 million low-
income Americans, to the power of
the Internet.
The program offers families
with at least one child eligible for
the National School Lunch Pro-
gram in-home Internet for $9.95 a
month, the opportunity to buy a
computer for less than $150 and
access to free digital literacy
training.
To help even more families get
online, Comcast now offers up to
six months of compli entary
Internet service for all eligible
families that sign up for Internet
Essentials through September 20,
2014.
Also new this year to engage
more families, there’s an amnesty
program. As long as the customer
meets all other eligibility criteria,

quet from 1-800-Flowers.com.

Your family may find it easier and
less expensive than you thought
to get the computer and home
Internet service that students
today need to succeed.
Comcast will offer amnesty for an
outstanding bill that’s more than
a year old, so the family can now
be eligible to connect to Internet
Essentials.
Based on customer surveys, 98
percent of families said they
signed up for Internet Essentials
because their kids need it for
school and 83 percent said their
child’s school expected that stu-
dents have online access at home.
Additionally, home Internet
gives kids and their parents
access to useful online educational
activities such as Khan Academy,

Nursing Home Bedsores Are Dangerous
and Preventable
By Jeff Stewart, The Bell Law Firm
If you are visiting a loved one in a nursing home
this holiday season, keep in mind that bedsores
— or pressure ulcers are one of the biggest
problems faced by residents of nursing homes.
They also can be more dangerous than most
people realize. Yet they can and should be
\ avoided.
Jeff D. Stewart
Information from the Centers
for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) indicates , .,,
that as many as one out of 10 r ,
nursing home residents suffer
from bedsores, and there are
signs that the problem is
increasing. The skin is the largest organ of the human body.
When pressure to the skin is unrelieved, especially in areas
where bone and skin are in close contact, the skin can break
down and bedsores become more likely. Elderly persons with
decreased mobility and such conditions as diabetes and poor
circulation are at greater risk.
When not treated properly. bedsores can lead to more serious
conditions, including cancer, bone infections, bacterial infections,
tissue inflammation or meningitis. Bedsores also incur higher costs
of care and longer nursing home stays.
Bedsores are avoidable. Even Florence Nightingale knew that in
1859, when she wrote that if a patient “has a bed sore, it is
generally the fault not of the disease, but of the nursing." Today,
several pro-active strategies can be used to prevent bedsores or
treat them when they occur. In fact, the law requires such action.
Whenever you have a loved one in a nursing home, make sure it
uses a pro-active approach to preventing and treating bedsores.
Frequent issues with bedsores can be a sign of abuse or neglect.
If you suspect negligence or abuse, consider calling leaders in the
field, such as the Bell Law Firm of Charleston, which has won
many lawsuits against nursing homes on behalf of abused elderly
residents and their families. The initial consultation is free, and The
Bell Law Firm gets paid only if the case is won. Getting ready to
put someone in a nursing home? Call for a free document review.
