and seaweed gives you a tangy flavor. You can also use either of ...

Barbecue smokers are not just for smoking meat. In fact, they might even be called ?food smokers.? There are some differences between smoking meat and smoking other types of food, such as the amount of time that they are smoked and the types of wood used to generate smoke and flavor.

For example, if you are smoking vegetables, you probably want to use mesquite or seaweed as the source of the smoke. Mesquite gives you a light, sweet taste, and seaweed gives you a tangy flavor. You can also use either of these when smoking meat, as well as hickory, alder, pecan, black walnut and cherry, among others. It is not advisable to use alder pecan or cherry when smoking vegetables as the flavor can be overbearing.

All types of food can be smoked in food smokers. The secret is controlling the smoke, temperature and time. This has become easier today due to some of the newer technologies. Electric smokers have digital controls, while external smoke generators allow you to control the amount of smoke that flows into the barbecue smoker or barbecue grill.

Using an external smoke generator can give you the desired smoked flavor in foods without requiring a significant investment in a barbecue smoker. The generator allows you to smoke meats, cheeses, seafood and vegetables all on your own barbecue grill that you already own at home. You can even produce smoked beverages. (For example, rauschbier is a type of beer brewed with smoked malted barley, and the tea lapsang souchong is produced after smoking the leaves with pinewood flame.) The variety of food possibilities and wood flavors gives rise to an almost endless supply of taste combinations with which to experiment.

People who use electric barbecue smokers can choose different types of flavored wood to complement the foods they want to smoke while benefiting from electric smoker technology. If you decide to buy an electric smoker, you too can enjoy conveniences such as easily setting the temperature and controlling the level of smoke. Just make sure to set the timer as well, because if you are smoking meat and leave it in too long, it will be very tough, maybe too tough to eat.

No matter what you decide to smoke, remember that barbecuing is an art. If you don?t get it right the first time, try again. You might start your learning process with buying several small notebooks. Each time you smoke a new food, write down everything you do: temperature, time, type of wood, what kind of rub or seasoning, and whether you used a hot or cold process. Don?t forget to make some notes about the final result. Share your tasty creation with trusted friends and neighbors to round up their comments and criticisms. They will more than likely be happy to eat in exchange for some input on your smoking abilities. You probably won?t get it right the first time, so don?t give up.

Medical pioneer Dr. Richard Koch dies at 89 ? Health & Fitness ...

LOS ANGELES ? As a prisoner of war in Germany during World War II, Richard Koch chose his life?s work after reading one of the few books in the camp?s meager library ? the medical biography ?The Doctors Mayo.?

Liberated in 1945 after 13 months in captivity, he sped through his undergraduate years at the University of California, Berkeley by persuading the school to give him course credit for his bombardier training in the Army Air Forces.

In 1951, Koch ? pronounced ?coke? ? earned a medical degree from the University of Rochester in New York, joined Children?s Hospital Los Angeles and embarked on a groundbreaking career in developmental disabilities.

He pioneered mobile clinics that brought medical services to the disabled and led a landmark effort to screen newborns for a type of mental disability that can be treated with a no-proteindiet, effectively putting an end to the disorder.

Koch, who had a heart condition, died Sept. 24 at his Los Angeles home, said his wife, Jean. He was 89.

He was an early advocate against institutionalizing the developmentally disabled, which was commonplace in 1955 when Koch was named director of the hospital?s newly established clinic for the study of mental disabilities.

The traveling clinics he created evolved into dedicated regional centers that enabled children to remain home with their families or live in a non-institutional setting.

?There was such a need, such a hunger. You can never forget that,? Koch said in the 2006 book ?Over Here: How the G.I. Bill Transformed the American Dream.?

After California Gov. Pat Brown signed legislation in 1966 to create a regional-center system in California, Koch served as the founding director of a Children?s Hospital pilot facility now known as Frank D. Lanterman Regional Center. More than 20 were eventually established around the state.

As a researcher, Koch devoted much of his career to preventing disability, specifically phenylketonuria, commonly called PKU, a hereditary metabolic disorder that can cause mental disability.

He successfully lobbied for the first mandatory screening programs in the country, urging California and other state legislatures to require mandatory screening for PKU in newborns with a simple blood test.

Early discovery allows for prevention, since the faulty gene that causes PKU enables the amino acid phenylalanine ? contained in many foods ? to build up in the blood and cause brain damage. PKU babies were placed on a tasteless no-protein diet and kept on it until they were about 10 years old, when their brains were sufficiently formed.

By the late 1960s, the disease was largely under control. But around 1980, health officials noticed that female PKU patients saved from disability were giving birth to babies with mental disabilities and other disorders. PKU mothers who followed a regular diet were developing high blood levels of phenylalanine that damaged the fetus.

?Logically, we should have thought of it,? Koch told the Los Angeles Times in 1996. ?But I think we were so enthused about these first PKU patients even being normal. That in itself was a shock.?

Unable to bear the thought that ?a small army of patients that had been saved from this condition was producing a new flock of disabled children,? Koch secured a grant to deal with the problem, according to the book ?Over Here.?

With Koch coordinating the effort, Children?s Hospital served as the hub of a national drive to collect data on adult PKU patients and encourage those who were pregnant to return to the no-protein diet to increase their chances of having a healthy baby.

Almost until the end of his life, Koch continued to treat PKU patients whom he first saw as infants decades ago, seeing them at his home near the hospital he retired from about five years ago.

?He was the most unassuming, gracious, gentle, kind-hearted man,? said Dr. Linda Randolph, head of medical genetics at Children?s Hospital. ?You would never know how great he was and what a tremendous contribution he made in the fields of disabilities and PKU from a casual conversation. He never tried to impress anybody.?

He was born Nov. 24, 1921, in Dickinson, N.D., the sixth of nine children of Valentine Koch, a sheep farmer, and his wife, Barbara. His family moved to Petaluma when Richard was 7 and his father worked on a poultry farm.

At a USO dance, Koch met his future wife, who was playing marimba in the band. He headed off to war soon after they married in 1943.

In April 1944, Koch and his fellow Army Air Forces crew members were shot down while flying over Germany in a B-24 Liberator. He was immediately captured. While in the POW camp, he bartered for a typewriter and started a POW newspaper.

Once he was home, he bought an Army surplus Jeep for $150 that came in a crate, assembled it and drove it cross-country to medical school.

With his family, he often backpacked, once hiking 110 miles round-trip from Mineral King in Sequoia National Park to Mount Whitney and trekking 150 miles on the John Muir Trail.

He took a leave of absence in 1970 to spend a year in Peru with his family as a medical volunteer with Project Hope. Koch also taught medicine at the University of Southern California.

Well into his 70s, the dedicated environmentalist could be spotted riding his bicycle down Sunset Boulevard to work, his tie flapping in the wind.

In addition to his wife, Koch is survived by three daughters, Jill, Christine and Leslie, all of Los Angeles; two sons, Tom and Martin, both of Ridgecrest, Calif.; 10 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.

Grandmother guilty of throwing toddler off skywalk

(AP) ? A Virginia grandmother was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder for tossing her 2-year-old granddaughter from a sixth-level pedestrian bridge at the state's largest shopping mall.

Carmela dela Rosa, of Fairfax, claimed she did not know right from wrong when she threw Angelyn Ogdoc off the 45-foot-high skywalk at Tysons Corner Center. The family had been at the mall last November in the midst of the busy holiday shopping season.

Prosecutors said dela Rosa knew what she was doing. She was motivated by anger at her son-in-law for getting her daughter pregnant out of wedlock, prosecutors said. It got worse during the mall outing because the son-in-law called his wife on a cellphone, they said.

Jurors saw a videotaped confession in which dela Rosa told detectives that she saw Angelyn as a way to get back at the son-in-law, James Ogdoc.

Defense witnesses testified that dela Rosa was diagnosed with severe depression and tried to kill herself on several occasions in the months before the incident.

Public defender Dawn Butorac argued that dela Rosa was a different woman in her depressive episodes, withdrawn and "afraid of the world" to the point that she regularly refused to leave the house.

The trial moves to the sentencing phase, where the jury must decide on a prison term. She faces 20 years to life.

U.S. trade bills on quick path to approval (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (Reuters) ? The House of Representatives, and possibly the Senate, will vote next Wednesday on three long-delayed trade deals with South Korea, Panama and Colombia, congressional leaders said.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor said on Thursday the Republican-led House would vote on the three deals on Wednesday, and earlier in the day Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it was possible the Democratic-led Senate could vote that day as well.

South Korean President Lee Myung-bak is due at the White House for talks with President Barack Obama on Thursday, Oct 13, giving lawmakers a reason to push for final congressional approval ahead of the visit.

The dash to pass the trade deals follows years of political deadlock over the agreements, which date back to the Republican administration of President George W. Bush.

The three deals are expected to boost U.S. exports by about $13 billion annually, which the administration estimates will help create or support tens of thousands American jobs.

Obama submitted the deals to Congress on Monday, after winning a final assurance from Republicans that the House would also vote on Trade Adjustment Assistance, a federal assistance program for workers displaced by foreign competition.

The House Ways and Means Committee gave its stamp of approval to the three pacts on Wednesday and the Senate Finance Committee is expected to approve the deals on Tuesday.

The three pacts were delayed for years because of issues raised mostly by Democrats, but Obama has worked to address those concerns over the past 15 months.

The Colombia deal was signed nearly five years ago and the other two more than four years ago.

Michael Jackson tribute set to go despite glitches (AP)

LONDON ? Fans of Michael Jackson are heading to Wales for a tribute concert that has divided the King of Pop's fans and family ? a celebration of the late star's life overshadowed by the Los Angeles manslaughter trial of his doctor.

The genre- and generation-spanning lineup for the "Michael Forever" show at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium includes Christina Aguilera, Smokey Robinson, Gladys Knight, Leona Lewis, British boyband JLS, Cee Lo Green ? and, via video, Beyonce.

The Black Eyed Peas pulled out this week, citing "unavoidable circumstances" amid reports the chart-topping band is splitting up.

Despite the last-minute loss, organizer Chris Hunt said fans can expect "a very, very spectacular show."

"Everything we've done has been governed by one criterion ? would Michael have done it this way, would he approve, would he like it?" said Hunt, chief executive of Global Live Events. "We're trying to do something worthy of one of the greatest showman of modern times."

Jackson died in June 2009, aged 50, as he was preparing for a string of comeback concerts in London.

His last hours are being relived in graphic detail at the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, accused of giving Jackson a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol and other sedatives in the bedroom of his rented mansion on June 25, 2009.

Little that Jackson did in the final years of his life was without controversy, and the division has continued after his death.

Jackson's estate is not involved in the concert, and his family is divided about the show. Siblings Marlon, Tito, Jackie and La Toya are scheduled to perform, and Michael Jackson's mother Katherine is due to attend, along with his children Prince, 14, Paris, 13, and 9-year-old Michael Joseph Jr., known as Blanket.

Katherine Jackson has said the concert is "exactly the way Michael would have wanted to be remembered."

But brothers Jermaine and Randy Jackson have criticized the timing of the show, saying Murray's trial should take precedence over other events. In a statement, the brothers said "we feel that the most important tribute we can give to our brother at this time is to seek justice in his name."

Sister Janet Jackson also has said she will not attend because the concert coincides with Murray's trial.

Fan groups around the world have also criticized the event, not just for its timing, but for ticket prices that started at about $100 and for what some regard as an out-of-the-way location in Cardiff, 150 miles (240 kilometers) west of London.

Organizers have struggled to line up top-name acts for the show, hosted by actor Jamie Foxx and British TV presenter Fearne Cotton. They outraged many fans by inviting the rock band Kiss, whose bassist Gene Simmons told a magazine last year that there was "no doubt in my mind" that Jackson, who was acquitted of molestation charges in 2005, had abused children.

The invitation was hastily rescinded, but many fans remain angry.

"The fans are not happy that the Jackson estate is not involved," said Wesley Noorhoff, president of a Dutch Michael Jackson fan club. "It seemed like they wanted to build a concert soon, to get money.

"I believe it should wait, not only because of the Murray trial. If you do a tribute to Michael it has to be the best there is, just like Michael."

Hunt insisted the show would be a success. He said more than 40,000 tickets had been sold, and he was confident of reaching the venue's 50,000 capacity.

Some of the proceeds will go to the AIDS Project Los Angeles and Prince's Trust charities, and a portion will be placed in a trust fund for Jackson's children, though organizers did not give an exact breakdown.

Hunt said 13 Jackson family members were scheduled to attend the concert, many of them appearing onstage.

"It's a family's tribute to their own," he said. "I'm expecting it to be a hugely emotional evening."
