"The Ayatollahs Want To Be Bombed"
You came to the Netherlands from Iran in 1988 as a political refugee, having already written a number of books in Persian. What was it like for you to start writing in Dutch?
Kader Abdolah: Arduous, incredibly arduous. I had to search for each single word. I worked like a jeweler: I picked up word after word, looked at it, sniffed at it and finally wrote it down. It was almost a craftsman-like activity, and it cost me a lot of energy. Especially with my first book, which I worked on for five years.
And did that change your books a great deal? Are the ones written in Dutch very different from your earlier ones?
Abdolah: When I came here 17 years ago I came as a Persian. But 17 years of struggling with the Dutch language have made me into a different person. Now I write my books with the mentality of a Dutchman. I look at my own culture from a distance of five, six or seven thousand kilometers. And because today I am writing for my Dutch, Belgian, European readers, I see it with completely different eyes than I did 17 years ago.
Where exactly does this difference lie?
Abdolah: For example, I wrote my last book, "The House of the Mosque" very specifically for my Dutch, Belgian, German and American readers, since it would not even have been necessary for an Iranian audience. I take my readers by the hand and let them peek behind the curtain. And because I've lived with the Dutch for 17 years, I know exactly what they know already and what they don't know yet, what they are curious about, what places I have to take them to.
In a sense you are bearing witness about your homeland?
Abdolah: Yes, exactly, it's a kind of testimony. In the Netherlands Kader Abdolah is someone people trust, so I say: don't you want to come with me? I'll take you along to my culture. Islam, the Koran, Iran and the Middle East – these are all issues that really interest people in Europe right now. People are curious about the Koran, the Islamic religion and old cultures. And I say: fine, just come along with me, I'll show it all to you.
But your book is also about the impact of the political on the private. You describe the life of a family that has lived for decades in a house by the mosque. During Khomeini's revolution it comes into conflict with the fundamentalists, even though it has always honored the Koran.
Abdolah: That's the thing about the Koran. When I read the Koran, I read it as a beautiful old poetic book that tells us about the past and about religion. The Koran is just as precious to me as the Bible; both of them are among the most wonderful books in the world. That's my opinion, anyway. But when the present president of Iran gets his hands on this book, he reads it completely differently. He misuses it to justify violence.
The Iranian Ayatollahs, the Imams, take a 1400-year-old book and read it as a law book, something they try to use to set policy and govern the country. And that goes terribly wrong! A country becomes a living hell when you try to govern it with the Koran! The outcome is what you can see in Iran today.
Normal people keep the Koran in their living room and use it occasionally as a guideline for their relations with their children and their neighbors, but no more than that. After all, people here still read the Bible, but they don't regard it as law.
In this book you return to the time of the Shah and his overthrow by Khomeini's revolution. Khomeini was originally supported by the political leftists, but then brutally disappointed their expectations.
Abdolah: The Shah was nothing but an American puppet, which may be why Khomeini was able to chase him out of the country so easily. But for a very long time freedom was unknown in Iran. We spent nearly 3000 years in the shadow of a reign of terror. There was no freedom of opinion and no experience with free elections. Anyway, our only choice was between the Shah and Khomeini. We didn't want the Shah, and there was no other alternative. There was only one leader, and that was Khomeini.
After a relatively long liberal phase starting with Khomeini's death, the country is led by a fundamentalist again. Is that a dangerous situation?
Abdolah: Bush wants to bomb, and I think the Ayatollahs want to be bombed. They'd like to go down in history as anti-American heroes. Of course I don't want them to get away with that, which is why I hope that Bush won't bomb Iran. Instead the attempt should be made to talk with them. Otherwise the clergy will have all the Iranians backing them in a struggle against America.
Interview: Ilja Braun

Kader Abdolah was born in Iran in 1952, studied physics in Teheran and fled the country as a political refugee in 1988. Today he lives in Amsterdam, writing under a pseudonym composed of the names of two murdered friends. "Het huis van de moskee" ("The House of the Mosque", not yet translated into English) catapulted Abdolah onto the Dutch bestseller lists.

RUSCALLEDA v. HSBC BANK USA
Glazy Ruscalleda and Jose Ruscalleda, Appellants,
HSBC Bank USA, etc., Appellee.
No. 3D09-997.
District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
Opinion filed September 15, 2010.
John H. Ruiz and Karen Barnet-Backer, for appellants.
Shapiro & Fishman and Heidi J. Weinzetl (Boca Raton), for appellee.
Before WELLS, ROTHENBERG, and LAGOA, JJ.
Upon consideration of the appellee's motion for rehearing or clarification, we withdraw our previous opinion filed on June 9, 2010, and substitute the following opinion in its stead.
This is an appeal of a final summary judgment in a mortgage foreclosure action entered in favor of plaintiff, HSBC Bank USA ("HSBC"), and against the defendants, Glazy Ruscalleda and Jose Ruscalleda. Based on the unique circumstances of this case, we reverse and remand for further proceedings.
The unique circumstances surrounding this case involve a rather confusing situation caused by two banks—the appellee, HSBC, and American Home Mortgage Servicing, Inc. ("American Home Mortgage")—because they were simultaneously attempting to foreclose the same mortgage. On October 8, 2008, American Home Mortgage filed a foreclosure action against the defendants.[ 1 ] A week later, HSBC filed an action to foreclose the same exact mortgage. The complaint filed by HSBC falsely alleged that it was the current owner and holder of the mortgage and note, when, in reality, American Home Mortgage was still the holder of the note and mortgage.[ 2 ] On October 28, 2008, due to the actions of American Home Mortgage and HSBC, the defendants, who were acting pro se at that time, filed an answer and affirmative defenses only in the foreclosure action filed by American Home Mortgage, which was the holder of the mortgage and note, because they mistakenly believed that the complaints involved the same foreclosure action.
After filing their pro se answer and affirmative defenses, the defendants retained counsel. Continuing in their mistaken belief, they did not inform their attorney of the action filed by HSBC. On November 13, 2008, counsel filed an amended answer and affirmative defenses on behalf of the defendants in the American Home Mortgage action, but took no action on the HSBC complaint.
Although the defendants did not file an answer in response to HSBC's complaint, HSBC never moved for a default judgment.[ 3 ] Instead, on January 22, 2009, HSBC moved for summary judgment, scheduling the hearing for March 24, 2009. When the defendants received the motion for summary judgment in the HSBC action, it sent the motion to their counsel. It was at that point, that the defendants and their counsel realized that two separate banks were attempting to simultaneously foreclose on the same mortgage, but that they only had been defending the initial action filed by American Home Mortgage.
On February 23, 2009, the defendants filed a memorandum of law in opposition to the motion for summary judgment, the affidavit of Glazy Ruscalleda, and a motion to transfer the case to the division where the foreclosure action filed by American Home Mortgage was pending ("Motion to Transfer"). On February 25, 2009, the defendants filed a request for production, request for admissions, and notice of interrogatory. American Home Mortgage waited until the day before the scheduled hearing to file its notice of voluntary dismissal, although it had executed the assignment of mortgage almost three months earlier.
At the scheduled hearing, the trial court heard the arguments raised by HSBC in its motion for summary judgment and by defense counsel in his memorandum of law filed in opposition. Although it is undisputed that the defendants' discovery was still pending, the trial court entered final summary judgment on the same day as the hearing, March 24, 2009, in favor of HSBC.[ 4 ]
Based on the unique circumstances set forth above, we conclude that the order under review must be reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings, with directions to allow the defendants to file an answer and affirmative defenses and to require HSBC to respond to the defendants' discovery requests. The record clearly demonstrates that the defendants' failure to file a timely answer and affirmative defenses in the action filed by HSBC was due to the confusion caused by American Home Mortgage and HSBC when they were simultaneously attempting to foreclose on the same exact mortgage in two different divisions of the circuit court.
Reversed and remanded with directions.
Not final until disposition of timely filed motion for rehearing.

The headlines are scary: California college students, brace for drastic budget cuts.
Some of our highly regarded public institutions of higher learning are getting so expensive students are being shut out.
California State University's governing board is in the midst of voting on yet another tuition hike to counter an even deeper-than-expected cut in state funding.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
If approved tuition for in-state undergraduates would increase by $588 to $5,472 which doesn't include room, board or campus fees.
That may not be breaking news, but the situation is getting worse, and middle-income parents of college age kids are feeling the squeeze the most.
There are a slew of financial aid programs if you know how to navigate the list of websites.
That's the good news.
The University of California system for example helps cover tuition and fees for in-state students whose families earn less than $80,000 a year.
A record number of low income students enrolled in the UC system in the fall of 2010. And first-generation transfer students are up as well.
Students of wealthy parents don't worry themselves over tution.
It's the kids who don't qualify for financial aid and can't pay on their own or get help from their parents who are losing out and feeling the squeeze the most and must be more creative in their quest for higher education degree.
"Some students start out at a community college then transfer to the UC system to get their degree, says Henry DeVries of UC San Diego Extension.
Still, the UC system remains "a bargain" when compared with eilte private universities, says Thad Kousser, Associate Professor of Political Science at UCSD.
For the upcoming school year, undergraduate tuition at Stanford, including room and board, is upwards of $52,000. USC? They're estimating the costs for undergrads, including all fees, at $60,800. UC Berkeley is $31,500.
Despite the steep pricetag, the payoff remains: you still need a college degree to get a better paying job than the person who doesn't have one, DeVries says.
Here's the twist: we aren't generating enough workers with college degrees.
By the year 2018, 22 million new college degrees will be needed to meet demand, but it's estimated that the U.S. will fall short of that number by at least 3 million post-secondary degrees, associate's or better, according to a study by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce.
"America is slowly coming out of the Recession of 2007—only to find itself on a collision course with the future: not enough Americans are completing college," the study finds. "At a time when every job is precious, this shortfall will mean lost economic opportunity for millions of American workers."
Could this shortage of supply lead to a drop in tuition? We can only hope.

22 July 2009 - The OECD Council has released a report and annexes updating the 30 OECD countries' positions under the legally binding OECD Codes of Liberalisation of Capital Movements and of Current Invisible Operations, as well as the companion OECD National Treatment instrument.
Under these liberalisation codes, OECD members progressively liberalise foreign direct investment, other capital movements and international services, notify any new measures having a bearing on the instruments, and undertake not to introduce new restrictions (often referred to as standstill). Reservations they have lodged regarding operations which they were in a position to liberalise must be eliminated when the underlying restrictions no longer apply so as to ensure that the status quo can only evolve in the direction of liberalisation – this is what produces the so-called "ratchet-effect" of the Codes.
The results of this update are good news overall:
At the same time, 6 members have taken measures to clarify or enforce national security reviews of foreign investments. The Recommendation recently adopted by Council on Guidelines for Recipient Country Investment Policies relating to National Security has been designed precisely to avoid that national security measures be misused for disguised protectionist purposes. Also, in this current juncture of financial turmoil, countries' willingness to undertake further liberalisation commitments in the area of foreign establishment and cross-border trade in financial services has diminished.
The timing of this update was decided in 2007 following the launch of discussions for accession to OECD membership with 5 candidate countries and the desire of members to set an example in regard to transparency and observance of their obligations under the OECD investment instruments. This work has gained even further relevance in light of commitments to standstill reiterated by members at G20 summits and the 2009 OECD Ministerial meeting.
For further information, contact Pierre Poret, Head of the OECD Investment Division
(tel. + 33 1 45 24 88 56).

Practical Solutions is our approach to achieving the WSDOT mission – how we plan, design, build, operate and maintain the state's transportation system. Our goal is to identify and solve problems as quickly and inexpensively as possible.
This approach uses performance-based, data-driven decision making and early community involvement to guide the development and delivery of transportation investments.
We will work with other state transportation service providers to develop coordinated strategies for addressing preservation, safety, mobility, economic vitality, and environmental performance goals. Practical Solutions strategies include:
Q: Is Practical Solutions just another word for value engineering?
A: Value Engineering (VE) is a facilitated workshop, that is used during the design phase of projects, with the goal of getting better procurements, reducing bid protests, and identifying cost effective designs. VE is a requirement on projects costing more than $25 million and bridge projects costing more than $20 million. VE is one of many tools and practices that can be used to develop practical design solutions.
Practical Solutions is a performance based approach used in all phases of project development, asset management, planning, program management, environmental analysis, design, construction, and operation. At the earliest stages, there is increased emphasis to ensure alternative solutions consider all modes. Practical solutions also emphasizes concise definition of the project performance needs to include only the work necessary to achieve the needed improvement. In doing so, the system as a whole receives the greatest return on investment.
Q: Are Practical Solutions and context sensitive solutions the same?
A: Here at WSDOT, we are using the terms practical solutions and context sensitive solutions interchangeably.
Q: What do you mean by Practical Solutions "consider all modes"?
A: Practical Solutions principles can be applied in all phases of project development. When used during initial planning, practical solutions encourages consideration of all modes of travel as potential strategies are developed in the alternative analysis process. All modes, in this context, could potentially include transit and non-motorized travel strategies, such as biking and walking, to help address all or part of the performance need. In other words, in considering ways to address transportation needs on the state system, all modes of travel, including non-WSDOT system improvements, may be considered.

Niki's Best New York Bites of 2013
In a cruel, paradoxical twist of fate, I've eaten so many memorable meals this year that I can't help but feel I'm forgetting several that deserve to top this list. Alas, such is the life of a food writer in a city as rich with options as New York. Many of the meals that have stuck with me are those I return to again and again; some because they're truly one of a kind, some for their unparalleled level of execution.
There are also few outstanding meals out there that I couldn't include for want of a photo. I was lucky enough to enjoy a full tasting menu at the deservedly three Michelin-starred Chef's Table at Brooklyn Fare that, for seafood lovers able to take the $255 plunge, certainly lives up to the hype. And just last night, I had a killer bowl of deep-fried, Funyun-topped Brussels sprouts at Degustation that had me lamenting my dead phone and absentee camera. But if I can't be perfect, at least these upcoming dishes can! Jump to one in the list below or see them all in the slideshow »

With its components, systems and applications, the technology company TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK GmbH & Co. KG, D-88250 Weingarten can supply customers with partial or complete solutions for special production and assembly processes from one source. In the field of drive technology components, customers can choose from standardized pneumohydraulic, hydraulic or electromechanical drives for the energy-efficient creation of reproducibly precise press forces. The press system business division provides a modular system with a capacity range up to 2,000 kN press force, in which these drive components can be used. In addition to this are TOX®-Controls for press, machine and system controls as well as sensors, software and quality monitoring. This makes the main components for the realization of presses, workstations, robot and machine tongs or system modules and special machines available. Presses, workstations, tongs etc. are used for example for joining, pressing, press-in, separating/punching or assembly operations as well as for clinching and joining metal parts with the TOX®-Sheet Metal Joining Procedures (TOX®-Round Joint to Solid Punch Rivet).
Efficient-economical press, machine and plant engineering
In order to keep costs for production and assembly devices as low as possible and deliver these in a timely manner, TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK has developed a modular press system. The presses with a performance range from 2 to 2,000 kN, including the respectively selected drive system, are based on standardized base frames and accessories, but can always be equipped with customer-specific clinching, press-in, punching tools and with manual to highly automated component feedings.
Standard presses for universal applications
TOX®-FinePress: The bench top presses of this series are designed for press forces between 2 and 57 kN and are available in four designs as toggle presses KF, rack and pinion presses ZF, pneumatic presses PF and pneumatic presses with manual approach PFH. All versions are also available with greater working height and greater throat depth. The bench top presses are characterized by high mechanical precision, a recirculating ball bearing of the ram in the press head, sensitivity in the working process and universally flexible application options.
TOX®-C-Frame bench top presses are available in three designs: MC (cast design with high flexibility due to height-adjustable tool room), MCC (cast compact design for single workstations or several process stations arranged in parallel or in a group) and CEB/CMB (individual, application-related steel/welded design).
The TOX®-C-Frame and C-Bow Presses are available in three designs CEU (steel-welded design with low bending up and continuously height-adjustable dismountable press table), CEC (cast design with large throat depth) and CEJ (flexible modular system for special applications). The design of the TOX®-C-Frame Presses PC is characterized by a welded steel base body with extremely sturdy design and minimum bending up. PC presses are designed for universally flexible applications and can be equipped with very different tool systems and complemented by material flow equipment. The TOX®-2-Column Presses are available as MB and MBG design. Designed as 2-column/2-plate construction with ball screw-guided press plate, they are very compact in relation to the tool mounting area and the load-bearing capacity, and can be equipped as needed for various applications. The TOX®-4-Column Presses also have a ball screw-guided press plate. They are available in the two designs MA and MAG. The solid plate design results in optimum load distribution across the entire tool clamping surface and minimum symmetrical bending up.
Three drive solutions for optimum press power
While the small presses of the TOX®-FinePress series are either operated manually or pneumatically, for all other TOX®-Presses, either pneumohydraulic, hydraulic or electromechanical drive solutions are possible. Standardized pneumohydraulic drive cylinders of the TOX®-Powerpackage type, TOX®-Hydraulic Cylinders with external pressure intensifier, or electromechanical TOX®-ElectricDrive servo drives are used. This provides customers with optimum equipment for the respectively required production and assembly equipment. The press systems are supplied fully equipped and ready for operation with controls (1-hand start, 2-hand control, 2-hand safety control with PLC, foot pedal control, external impulse control) as well as with safety enclosure according to international standards. Furthermore, TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK designs, builds and supplies tool systems as well as auxiliary and feeding systems for tool handling up to automated, robot-supported production/assembly solutions. Complemented by the TOX®-Pressing Monitor Systems for the quality control of joining, press-in and clinching processes, TOX®-Press Systems and production/assembly solutions become Industry 4.0-capable or integratable.
Own tailor-made configuration of presses
To make selection and procurement of suitable presses easy for customers, an online configurator can be found on the homepage of TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK for the product area TOX®-C-Frame Bench Top Presses. With this configurator, interested parties can compose their "own" ecoLine press system in just four steps. The configurator shows standard C-Frame bench top presses, mounted on a standard base frame. In addition, customers can choose between four press force categories, pneumohydraulic or electromechanical drives, as well as two power stroke versions from the previously defined press force category. The following performance ranges are standardized: Total stroke max. 200 mm, throat depth of the C-Frame Press at 200 mm and press opening at 400 mm. The standard equipment includes a 2-hand safety control, and the interested party can choose from different pressing/process monitoring systems. Once the press system has been configured and the price determined, the quote is requested via the system. The prices of the ecoLine presses configured online are guaranteed! The complete press system is delivered within eight weeks (throughout Europe!).

[Prereq: Windows, Visual Studio, Eclipse]
[Project link: https://github.com/rfaisal/ThriftStarterCSharpServerJavaClient]
How it started:
Recently I have been introduced with a very cool technology called Apache Thrift. It is originally developed by Facebook and later open-sourced in Apache Software Foundation. It is one of the core building block of the Facebook technology. The technical paper introducing Thrift can be found here.
What is it:
In layman's terms, Thrift allows an application written in one language (e.g., Java) to exchange data with an application written another language (e.g., C#). Probably the most popular technology in this area is SOAP. Although SOAP is more general, but Thrift has less overhead. In technical terms, Thrift is a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) framework that can be used to develop scalable cross-language services. Thrift is an interface definition language, i.e., you can only write interfaces or pure abstract classes by Thrift. The Thrift compiler can generate corresponding classes and interfaces for any particular language (e.g., C#) from the Thrift interface. The server (e.g., C#) should implement these interfaces and start a service, and the client (e.g., Java) can call the functions of these interfaces by communicating with the service.

Miami...NO NO NO NO. Don't even think about it unless you love traffic, violent crime, and a perpetually pissed off populace. Downtown is a ghostown after 6pm and the beach is incredibly overpriced, not to mention complete inaccessable by public transportation. Coconut grove may be the city's one saving grace for the 20-30 set but be really careful to stay in the core. Stray 2 blocks off course and you could end up with a new pimp. Word.

Given that "Shrek Forever After" is the first film in the franchise in 3-D, it's surprisingly flat — and we're not just talking about the look of it.

- Autistic ballerina dances her way into hearts
This fourth and allegedly final installment in the series is lifeless, joyless and woefully devoid of the upbeat energy that distinguished the earlier movies — well, at least the first two. If "Shrek the Third" from 2007 felt tired, "Shrek Forever After" is practically narcoleptic.
Brief bursts of manic energy give way to long, heavy stretches that drag. Most of the hackneyed pop culture references of its predecessors are gone, mercifully, but so is the fun. This time, the big, bad ogre is having a mid-life crisis — not exactly a hoot for the kids in the audience, and their parents can suffer through that at home for free.
Quick facts
Starring: Voices of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas
Director: Mike Mitchell
Run time: 1 hour, 33 minutes
MPAA rating: PG
As for the animation, presenting it in 3-D doesn't add a whole lot. This is not a deeply immersive experience; more often, it consists of stuff being flung at you in gimmicky fashion. After this summer, when about a half-dozen movies will be leaping out at us in 3-D, can the whole trend just go away? Please?
And the frustrating part is, the "Shrek" movies didn't need an added dimension: They already had an impressive visual scheme all their own. The texture of the surroundings that made the franchise stand out among a slew of animated fare — the tactile nature of the grass and trees, the water, Donkey's fur — gets obliterated when rendered in 3-D. And so in theory, all that's left is the story, but that doesn't reach out and grab us either.
As directed by Mike Mitchell ("Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo," "Sky High") from a script by Josh Klausner and Darren Lemke, "Shrek Forever After" finds the lovable green dude (voiced as always by Mike Myers) increasingly disenchanted with his subdued, family-man existence. The triplets he had with wife Fiona (Cameron Diaz) are a year old now, and he realizes that each new day is the same as the last (in a sequence straight out of "Groundhog Day").
Alternate universe isn't what ogre expected
After being repeatedly tormented at his kids' birthday party to "do the roar" that made him famous — one of a handful of jokes that are funny the first couple times but get beaten into the ground — Shrek loses it. He misses the simple pleasures of being a fearsome ogre: terrorizing villagers, wallowing in the mud, etc. He throws a tantrum.
Blinded by his frustration, he enters an ill-advised contract with the obviously evil Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn) to revisit his old life for one day. But this sends him to an alternate universe where the land of Far, Far Away, as he knew it, no longer exists. Fiona isn't his wife but rather a warrior princess leading a rebellion; his best friend, Donkey (Eddie Murphy), is still perky and sassy but doesn't know him; and, most troubling purely from a survival standpoint, ogres are being hunted in the woods.
That's right, it's the old alternate-universe bit.
So Shrek must befriend Donkey and woo Fiona to make everything right again: basically, repeat all the steps he went through in part one, which only reinforces the lack of originality now that we've reached part four.
An attempt an injecting some novelty with the Rumpelstiltskin character also falls flat: He's tiny but hugely obnoxious. It's one thing to have an over-the-top villain if he's a compelling, well-developed figure. This guy is just off-putting. The only thing that changes about him are the wigs he wears for various occasions.
Thankfully, Antonio Banderas returns to voice the swashbuckling Puss in Boots — only in Shrek's weird new world, the kitty has gotten so lazy and overfed as Fiona's pampered pet, he can't even buckle his own belt. Still, Puss remains the most consistent source of comedy in the "Shrek" series. Here's hoping that when the character gets his own movie spin-off, he'll be able to stand on his own two paws without the needless aid of a third dimension.

text: URMC / Encyclopedia / Content Search Encyclopedia Herpes Simplex Virus Antibody Does this test have other names? HSV-1 antibodies, HSV-2 antibodies What is this test? The herpes simplex virus antibodies test is a blood test that screens for the herpes simplex virus (HSV). Culturing a sample from an active outbreak of HSV is the best method to diagnose a current infection. But the herpes simplex virus antibodies test can help identify the recurrence of a previous infection. Why do I need this test? You may need this test if you suspect that you have herpes, but do not have an active infection. You may also have this test if you have HIV, or are pregnant or hope to become pregnant. The herpes simplex virus antibodies test screens for current or previous HSV infections. In some cases, the herpes simplex virus antibodies test can be used to diagnose an active HSV infection. But more often, a herpes culture is used. The antibodies test is valuable because many initial herpes infections show no symptoms. If symptoms do happen, they can include tenderness, as well as pain or burning at the site of the infection. This usually happens before the outbreak of sores. You may also have headache, fever, achiness, or pain. What other tests might I have along with this test? If you have an active herpes infection, you may also need a physical exam so your healthcare provider can visually inspect the sores. Your healthcare provider may collect a sample from the sores to culture in a lab. What do my test results mean? Test results may vary depending on your age, gender, health history, the method used for the test, and other things. Your test results may not mean you have a problem. Ask your healthcare provider what your test results mean for you. If your test result is positive, it can mean that you have an active herpes infection without symptoms. It can also mean that you had an HSV infection in the past. The antibody blood test is not as reliable as culturing a sample from a herpes sore. But in a herpes infection without symptoms, it can be a useful method for finding out if you have an infection. How is this test done? The test is done with a blood sample. A needle is used to draw blood from a vein in your arm or hand. Does this test pose any risks? Having a blood test with a needle carries some risks. These include bleeding, infection, bruising, and feeling lightheaded. When the needle pricks your arm or hand, you may feel a slight sting or pain. Afterward, the site may be sore. What might affect my test results? An antibody test for HSV is not as reliable as culturing a sample from an active herpes outbreak because the results are not always easy to interpret. A positive test result can mean you have an active infection, or simply that you were exposed to the virus at some point in the past. How do I get ready for this test? You don't need to prepare for this test. Be sure your healthcare provider knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use. Medical Reviewers: Fraser, Marianne, MSN, RN Haldeman-Englert, Chad, MD

John Torode is now one of this country's most popular celebrity chefs. Only last week he launched his new cookery programme Australia.
But he also comes from a part of Australia which is the oldest wine-making region on that vast continent, the Hunter Valley.
So it should come as no surprise that he has been happy to pair up with one of that region's most successful wineries, McGuigan Wines, to create some tastebud-tantalising food and wine matches.
McGuigan has consistently won many awards. Winemaker Neil McGuigan made history by being the first person to be named world's best winemaker in three out of four years.
You will know I enjoy my scientific wine and food experiments, so it was too tempting not to speak to Mr Torode, pictured, about food and, specifically, wine.
He told me: "When I grew up, wine was not something I was allowed to have, I was too young, but I do love Hunter Valley Semillon."
I cooked some of the exclusive recipes from the Neil McGuigan and John Torode Recipe collection. I started with green curry barbecue chicken – and had a couple of chilled glasses of McGuigan Classic Semillon Blanc (£7.99 in Sainsbury and Tesco – reduced to £5.32 in Tesco until March 18). John's recipe was simplicity itself – chicken, coconut milk, coriander and green curry paste.The wine had guava, lychee, lemon aromas and acidity which didn't overpower the creamy melting chicken. Tropical fruits, with lemon and lime, added to the complexity with overtones of freshly scrunched lemon geranium leaves. The wine wasn't afraid of the green curry contrasts; in fact it was lifted to another flavoursome level.
So does food and wine pairing come naturally to John? "I believe that food and wine are like hand in glove, one compliments the other," he says. "Good food loves good wine and good wine loves good food. It's all about understanding flavours and what goes with what." But how should people begin to think about matching food and wine at home?
Says John: "The first step is to drink something you like whilst you cook, and use your nose to see if what you are cooking will work with what you are drinking.
"The human mind is cleverer than you think and your nose will tell you what belongs together.
"I can say though that a semillon or GSM (a classic Rhône blend of grenache, syrah and mourvèdre) are both pretty versatile and will go with most things.
"Some wines sit better with certain foods, but I love red wine with fish. I love crisp white wine with roast pork. I love sparkling shiraz with a barbecue. But I appreciate that some people believe there should be rules. I don't."
John is known for his love of Asian foods. What would be his wines to match? He says: "Asian food is as varied as wines are, but generally go for a lighter style of red due to the subtle flavours in Asian foods and go for crisp white wines with chilli. Saying that, a chilled red wine with ginger-based dishes is a wondrous thing."
John's Lemon Grass Beef, paired with McGuigan Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, (£9.99, Tesco) took centre stage on my dining table.
It took only minutes to prepare and the beef marinated for most of a calm Sunday. I also marinated myself with the cab sav. (Only joking. Honest.)
Neil McGuigan says of the pairing: "This might seem to be quite a serious wine for a dish that might be served as a casual supper. But John has got lots of flavours in there and I think it deserves a wine like the deep, blackcurranty reserve cabernet."
My thoughts? The cab sav is full of deep blackcurrants, black pepper and soft vanilla overtones. With the beef it was perfect. The beef was soft as a cushion with citrus and spice playing tastebud ping pong.
Add in the peppers and fruit from the cab sav and it was like being at a wedding buffet; all flavours tempting and teasing so much that you don't know in which direction to go next.
If there is one recipe I urge you to try, it would be Thai Pork Relish Lettuce Cups. Squeezey pleasey bites of pork mince flavoured so simply with ingredients including chilli paste, peanuts and fish sauce.
If I hadn't had a glass of McGuigan Reserve Shiraz (£9.99, Sainsbury and Morrisons) in my hand I would have high fived Mr Torode there and then. But things could have got messy. The wine had red fruits on the nose, it was woody like a newly snapped twig, with pepper and red fruits on the palate too. Combined with the pork, it was a palate pamper of spice.
I tried McGuigan Reserve Sauvignon Blanc (£9.99, Tesco) also a wine pairing for the BBQ chicken. This sauvignon blanc has a delicate nose of tropical fruits and a finish of crisp, refreshing lemon.
The star of my whites was McGuigan Shortlist Chardonnay, 2011, Adelaide Hills (Tesco online, RRP £15) which had subtle honeyed oak on the nose, some grilled pineapple and peach. Loved it. It had a spritely acidity with zippy lemon and creamy honeyed vanilla. Neil and John recommend it with steamed mussels.
Says John: "Food and wine are fashion, they change with the times and are influenced by people, season and the environment. It's all ever-changing, always variable; and that's what makes it all so exciting."

Meanwhile, McGuigan is giving wine-loving couples the chance to win a trip Down Under and enjoy lunch cooked by John Torode. Go to http://mcguiganwinescompetition.com for details.
I have four cases of six bottles of McGuigan Reserve wines to give away – three sauvignon blanc and three cabernet sauvignon. Which wines make up the GSM blend?
Email email@example.com by 5pm, Friday, March 14.
JOHN TORODE SAYS ... "Like all things that are to be cooked on a BBQ you have to protect it from the intense and direct heat. I prefer legs and thighs cooked this way but I am mindful that many people prefer lean chicken. The skin can be removed once cooked but it is necessary to keep the flesh moist.The coconut milk and curry paste will add flavour and the oil will ensure an even cooking process."
– 6 skinless and boneless chicken breasts
– 1 x 400g can coconut milk
– 2 tbsp Thai green curry paste
– 3 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
– 1/2 cucumber, cut into long julienne strips, to serve
– 1 x Chinese leaf lettuce, broken into individual leaves, to serve
– 1 bunch mint sprigs, to serve
Cut the chicken into even-sized pieces. Mix the coconut milk with the green curry paste and the chopped coriander.
Add the chicken and leave to marinate overnight if possible, or for at least a few hours.Thread the chicken pieces onto metal or bamboo skewers - you can either use small skewers and just put one or two pieces per skewer, or use larger skewers and thread up to 6 pieces.
Place over the coals and turn every three minutes, at least four times so that all the meat is well coloured and cooked through.
Alternatively, cook on a ridged grill pan, turning several times until the meat is well coloured and cooked through.Serve with julienned cucumber, Chinese leaf and mint.

The topic is critical. For me the real question is how we can we persuade others to take time out of their busy lives to address such a topic that none of us wants to think about: that "IT" could happen here.
My interest in "being prepared" intensified two days after 9-11, when as neighborhood leader I was overwhelmed by phone calls from Midtown residents asking things like, "Can it happen here?" or "What can I do to help?
I have been involved with emergency medical systems since the mid-90s, including a stint of working for the county EMS agency, and for over 6 years have taken the lead for EMS as a Commissioner on the Santa Clara County Health Advisory Commission.
Two days after 9-11, I suggested to City Manager Frank Benest that we hold a series of "robust" emergency-preparedness workshops in Palo Alto, starting with south Palo Alto, with support from the Midtown Residents Association and Charleston Meadows Association.
The response wasn't encouraging. Mick McDonald, the city's emergency coordinator at the time, contacted me to inform me about PANDA training — not at all what I was trying to do. I wrote him that I suggested several citywide, city-sponsored workshops to be held around town focusing on what residents needed to know and be prepared to do in case of a major fire, flood, earthquake or biological disaster.
Over the years, the Midtown association has held multiple emergency prep meetings; our experience was that few came due to the scary topic. Folks are in denial when they do not see a disaster on the immediate horizon.
But I kept on. I called my friend Judy Kleinberg, and we forged a relationship on this topic that has continued for several years. We agreed there was a need for professionals in public safety and the city to come together and discuss gaps in the system: If there was a disaster in Palo Alto everyone would rush to the same area, and there would be many places not covered.
Judy formed a stakeholders group. Her invitation to the brainstorming meeting in December 2001 emphasized that the idea was to leverage what the Fire Department was already doing "in ways that will involve greater numbers of volunteers, people from neighborhoods (and) local businesses."
Also in 2001, we formed Palo Alto REDI (Resources for Emergencies and Disasters Initiative), involving Judy for the city, myself for neighborhoods and Henry Neugass for the schools. After a year of planning, PA REDI held one of the most successful emergency-preparedness events and product sales ever, with almost 300 folks attending. We had powerful speakers from the city, the Red Cross, PTA and medical representatives from the Palo Alto Medical Foundation and Stanford University, focusing on what YOU can do. Vendors included the Red Cross, ham radio suppliers, hardware stores and others. It was sponsored by 21 neighborhoods, the city and the PTA's Emergency Preparation Team.
That was the beginning, and we have continued working on this issue. Recently the Palo Alto Neighborhoods (PAN) group formed special-interest committees. I volunteered to chair the committee on disaster and emergency preparation — our goal was to develop plans for each neighborhood working neighbor-to-neighbor, block-by-block to raise awareness and involvement. We have had excellent participation, with 15 to 18 neighborhoods presently involved.
As the Weekly's cover story noted, "the city's (disaster) plan will address all city departments and critical services, but little beyond that. The expectation is that each individual needs to be ready to handle this on their own."
The real challenge is how to break through the apathy or denial that we all have for emergency preparation. We all KNOW we should prepare, but when the sun is shining (no floods in sight), school is out, and life is good it is hard to think about preparing for the worst.
Two other wake-up calls — besides last week's little earthquake — have happened recently that should spur all of us to refocus our efforts on preparedness.
First, the spike in neighborhood crime really brought home the message that knowing your neighbor and your neighborhood is vitally important. Midtown has had its share of crime, although not as visible as in Duveneck/St. Francis since folks write me directly and for some reason are shy about using the Midtown Association listserv. Privacy is key after a crime — many people feel violated and vulnerable.
Second, in north Palo Alto, the scare about the safety of Addison School and more recently Walter Hays students mobilized parents and residents in a big way.
Last Thursday's 5:30 a.m. earthquake was a third wake-up call, encouraging me to step up the effort in emergency planning. The co-incidence was too great, just one day after I read the Weekly's cover story on planning for pandemic flu and one week before our PAN meeting on this subject.
It is clear that we can no longer take a Pollyanna-ish attitude and stick our heads in the sand. We must find ways to engage Palo Altans (and residents of neighboring communities and the greater Bay Area).
But it is more than just preparing for a flu pandemic. The Weekly article states, "If pandemic flu never happens, there will be some sort of disaster in the future ... and we will not have wasted one minute of planning."
Chance favors those who are prepared. If you are not prepared emotionally or lack basic food, water and emergency supplies, then you and your family will be desperate if a disastrous event occurs. You might not use the exact plans you develop, but thinking through the process and taking a few steps will put you way ahead of the crowd as medical systems, food supply networks, power and emergency teams are disrupted or overwhelmed.
And we can have some fun along the way: Plan or attend a block party on neighborhood preparedness. Get to know each other better. We're all in this together. As pandemic expert Peter Carpenter notes, we must be ready to help ourselves in order to be resilient as a community, neighborhoods, families and individuals.
We are the fiber, the heart of the city. We will need to help our neighbors (or be helped) when that critical incident occurs.

Reference: "The Role of Occam's Razor in Knowledge Discovery." Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, 3, 409-425, 1999.
I found this paper, by Pedro Domingos, very interesting. It analyzes the role developed by the Occam's Razor in KDD and studies (referencing a lot of papers where Occam's Razor is explicitly or implicitly applied) the correctness of applying it.
Pedro Domingo says the Occam's Razor in KDD can be seen as
- "Given two models with the same generalization error, the simpler one should be preferred because simplicity is desirable in itself" or...
- ..."Given two models with the same training-set error, the simpler one should be preferred because it is likely to have lower generalization error."
The second version of the Occam's Razor is clearly mistaken, as a low training-set error usually derives into overfitting, and a high generalization error. Pedro Domingos gives some arguments to favor and against this second one, concluding that "the second version is provably and empirically false". The first version seems right but uses simplicity as a proxy to comprehensibility, resulting in some quite different from Occam's Razor.

It is a twisted state of affairs that George W. Bush's most avid surrogates are trying to make this election turn on the question of whether Lt. John Kerry was or was not in Cambodia on Christmas Eve 1968.
Having pretty much failed at their efforts to disprove the official U.S. Navy account of Kerry's valor in battle as skipper of a "Swift boat" patrolling the Mekong Delta, the veterans against Kerry have moved to discredit his more obscure claim—made a few times over the years, in interviews and Senate floor speeches—that, on Dec. 24, he took CIA or special ops forces across the border into Cambodia, even while Washington claimed no American troops were there.
Kerry first told this story publicly in an article published in the Boston Herald on Oct. 14, 1979, before he was a senator:
I remember Christmas Eve of 1968, five miles across the Cambodian border being shot at by our South Vietnamese allies who were drunk and celebrating Christmas.
He elaborated the tale on March 27, 1986, during a Senate debate over whether to aid the Nicaraguan contras:
I remember Christmas of 1968, sitting on a gunboat in Cambodia. I remember what it was like to be shot at by Vietnamese and Khmer Rouge and Cambodians and have the President of the United States telling the American people that I was not there, the troops were not in Cambodia. I have that memory which is seared—seared—in me.
A more intriguing reference—now known as "the famous good-luck-hat story"—was made in a Washington Post profile, by Laura Blumenfeld, published on June 1, 2003:
There's a secret compartment in Kerry's briefcase. He carries the black attache everywhere. Asked about it on several occasions, Kerry brushed it aside. Finally, trapped in an interview, he exhaled and clicked open his case. "Who told you?" he demanded as he reached inside. "My friends don't know about this." The hat was a little mildewy. The green camouflage was fading, the seams fraying. "My good luck hat," Kerry said, happy to see it. "Given to me by a CIA guy as we went in for a special mission in Cambodia."
But now some anti-Kerry veterans are saying he was never in Cambodia. John O'Neill, who has been dogging Kerry more than 30 years, told Matt Drudge that the senator's Christmas-in-Cambodia stories "are complete lies." As evidence, he cites Kerry's own wartime diary, as quoted in Douglas Brinkley's Tour of Duty: John Kerry and the Vietnam War. That book—according to Drudge's account of it—places Kerry in Sa Dec, 50 miles away from Cambodia, on Christmas Eve, and seemingly at peace. "Visions of sugarplums really do dance through your head," Kerry wrote in his diary that night, "and you think of stockings and snow and roast chestnuts and fires with birch logs and all that is good and warm and real."
That passage is on Page 219 of Brinkley's book. But O'Neill, Drudge, and the other sneerers choose to ignore the 10 preceding pages—the opening pages of a chapter called "Death in the Delta." On Christmas Eve 1968, Brinkley writes, Kerry and his crew:
headed their Swift north by the Cho Chien River to its junction with the My Tho only miles from the Cambodian border. … Kerry began reading up on Cambodia's history in a book he had borrowed from the floating barracks in An Thoi. … He even read about a 1959 Pentagon study titled "Psychological Observations: Cambodia," which … state[d] that Cambodians "cannot be counted on to act in any positive way for the benefit of U.S. aims and policies." [Italics added.]
Brinkley also quotes from Kerry's diary: "It was early morning, not yet light. Ours was the only movement on the river, patrolling near the Cambodian line." [Italics added.] Brinkley continues: "At a bend just as they were approaching the Cambodian border, two [U.S. river-patrol boats] met the Swift." Then, again from Kerry's diary: "Suddenly, there is an explosion and a mortar lands on the bank near all three boats." The next few pages detail a ferocious firefight, one part of which involved (as his diary noted) "the ridiculous waste of being shot at by your own allies."
Only a few hours later, in the evening, did Kerry's boat reach the stationing area of Sa Dec. "The night for once is comforting," Kerry wrote in his diary, "and you take a Coke and some peanut butter and jelly and go up on the roof of the cabin with your tape recorder and sit for a while, quietly watching flares float silently through the sky and flashes announce disquieting intent somewhere in the distance." It is in this context that Kerry then wrote, in a letter to home, about "visions of sugarplums" and thinking of "snow and roast chestnuts."
So let's review the situation. On Christmas Eve 1968, Kerry's Swift boat and at least two river-patrol boats were doing something unusual (Kerry wrote that he'd never been so far in-country) at least in the vicinity of the border—"near the Cambodian line," as he put it in his diary. And Kerry had with him a book that described a Pentagon study on psychological operations against Cambodia.
It is certain that by this time, the United States had long been making secret incursions across the border. This is from Page 24 of William Shawcross'$2 1979 book, Sideshow: Kissinger, Nixon, and the Destruction of Cambodia:
Since May 1967, when the U.S. Military Command in Saigon became concerned at the way the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong were evading American "search and destroy" and air attacks in Vietnam by making more use of bases in Laos and Cambodia, the U.S. Special Forces had been running special, highly classified missions into the two countries. Their code name was Daniel Boone.
The Daniel Boone teams entered Cambodia all along its 500-mile frontier with South Vietnam from the lonely, craggy, impenetrable mountain forests in the north, down to the well-populated and thickly reeded waterways along the Mekong River. [Italics added.]
We know that Kerry's boat and two others were in those reeds on Christmas Eve '68.
The Cambodian special forces' incursions—which were conducted without the knowledge, much less approval, of Congress—were escalating around that time. Just over a month later, on Feb. 9, 1969, Gen. Creighton Abrams, commander of U.S. forces in Vietnam, requested a B-52 bombing attack on a Communist camp inside Cambodia. (Richard Nixon, the new president, approved the plan on March 17; the first strikes of Operation Breakfast—the secret bombing of Cambodia—started the next day.) Shawcross writes that special forces were always sent across the border to survey the area for targets just before an air operation.
Did Kerry cross the border or just go up to it? We may never know for sure. Not much paperwork exists for covert operations (officially, U.S. forces weren't in Cambodia). Nor is it likely that a canny Swift-boat skipper (and Kerry was nothing if not canny) would jot down thoughts about such covert operations in a diary on a boat that might be captured by the enemy.
The circumstances at least suggest that Kerry was indeed involved in a "black" mission, even if he had never explicitly made that claim. And why would he make such claims if he hadn't been? It was neither a glamorous nor a particularly admirable mission—certainly nothing to boast of.
But one thing is for sure: Lt. Kerry did not spend that Christmas Eve just lying around, dreaming of sugarplums and roasted chestnuts. He had plenty of time to cover the 40 miles from the Cambodian border to the safety of Sa Dec (he did command a swift boat, after all). More to the point, the evidence indicates he did cover those 40 miles: He was near (or in?) Cambodia in the morning, in Sa Dec that night.

When the Obama administration launched its primary mortgage modification program in 2009, the White House said the plan promised relief for 3 million to 4 million families.
Two years later, the numbers haven't come anywhere near reaching that total. The Home Affordable Modification Program, partially funded through TARP, is providing permanent aid to only 540,000 homeowners as of January. Now, House Republicans are pushing legislation that would kill HAMP and several other housing programs. And the program's chief watchdog, the Special Inspector General for TARP Neil Barofsky, has suggested that may not be a bad idea. "[T]hose who argue for keeping HAMP alive have an increasingly daunting task, and absent meaningful action from Treasury, [my office's] 'support' of HAMP's continued existence is all but exhausted," Barofsky wrote in testimony prepared for a House Financial Services subcommittee Wednesday. Local leaders have a vested interest in the success of the administration's mortgage modification efforts, since foreclosures destabilize neighborhoods and reduce property values. They're opposed to ending HAMP and the other programs, especially because they lack the ability to prevent foreclosures on their own. Yet the number of homeowners facing foreclosure dwarfs the number who have been aided by HAMP. Last year, there were more 2.9 million foreclosure filings, according to RealtyTrac figures that Barofsky cited. Even more are projected this year. Under HAMP, Treasury pays financial incentives to mortgage servicers who are willing to modify the mortgages of borrowers struggling to make payments by reducing interest rates and extending the terms of their mortgage. Homeowners seeking HAMP aid are initially placed into "trial modifications," and they theoretically can move to "permanent modifications" after three months if they are eligible for the program and make their trial payments on time. In practice, getting a trial modification means very little, since more homeowners have had their trials canceled -- 740,000 -- than made permanent. Homeowners have reported spending many months in trial modifications, even though that's not supposed to happen, often due to servicers losing paperwork and not fully following program guidelines. Those canceled modifications frequently leave homeowners in even worse shape, with higher outstanding principal and worse credit scores. "It is apparent that Treasury has no intention of meaningfully responding to these failures in performance or design," Barofsky said. Barofsky also highlighted the fact that HAMP relies on mortgage servicers to administer the program, but despite numerous instances of servicers making grave mistakes, Treasury has never financially penalized them. Given that track record, it's unlikely reforms will occur in the future, he said. Barofsky also said that program lacks meaningful benchmarks to its success or failure, and Treasury has regularly changed the standards by which it measures HAMP. The department often touts the number of trial modifications made through HAMP, as opposed to active permanent modifications, a figure that watchdogs like Barofsky, the Congressional Oversight Panel, and the Government Accountability Office generally recognize as more meaningful. Additionally, Treasury hasn't fully implemented recommendations to improve transparency and accountability in HAMP, said Mathew Scire, director of financial markets and community investment at the GAO. Meanwhile, Treasury won't provide a firm estimate of how many people is expects HAMP to ultimately help. Barofsky called that stance "a basic failure in transparency" and said Treasury is "trying to cover up a program that is clearly a failure." Timothy Massad, the acting assistant secretary for Treasury's Office of Financial Stability, wrote a letter to the subcommittee defending the program. He said it only releases taxpayer funds to servicers when a mortgage is successfully modified, so it can't be considered wasteful. Echoing Congressional Democrats, he also said it would be dangerous to rescind HAMP without establishing a replacement program. "Put simply, ending HAMP now, without a meaningful alternative in place, would mean that struggling homeowners would have far fewer ways of coping with the worst housing crisis in generation," Massad wrote. "Instead, their fate would be left solely in the hands of the same mortgage servicers whose standards are widely recognized to be in need of reform." Mike Wallace, program director for housing and community development at the National League of Cities, told Governing that HAMP isn't perfect -- but it is achieving results. "It's helping families," Wallace said. "It's just not helping the number of families we want." Republicans on the financial services committee have also introduced legislation to cancel three other housing programs, including the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which provides assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that may otherwise become blights in their communities. About $7 billion over the past three years has been appropriated for the program. The bill would end the program and rescind $1 billion that has not been spent. Republicans argue that NSP doesn't directly aid at-risk homeowners facing foreclosure and may actually provide an incentive for lenders to foreclosure. NLC and other groups representing government have likened the dispute over NSP to the efforts to cut CDBG funding, which also goes directly to localities. He said local officials are trying to educate Congressional lawmakers about the role of NSP in an effort to save it. Also on the chopping block is the FHA Refinance Program. A Republican-backed bill would rescind almost all the funding for the $8.12 billion program. Republicans say the program is underutilized and had only 35 applications as of December. Legislation also targets the Emergency Mortgage Relief Program, which provides HUD with $1 billion to spend on emergency payments for homeowners facing foreclosure. The Republicans argue that the loans actually cause borrowers to fall even more in debt. The four bills are scheduled for markup Thursday, said Rep. Judy Biggert, chair of the Insurance, Housing and Community Opportunity subcommittee. Several Democrats, including Rep. Al Green and Rep. Maxine Water, said canceling the programs would punish citizens -- not the administration -- and advocated for HAMP to be reformed instead of gutted altogether. "We have helped Wall Street. We have helped Main Street. Now it's time to help 'Home Street,'" Green said. "These are dollars for homeowners."

Public can vote on new baby sloth's name at National Aquarium
5 names made cut out of 1,726
The National Aquarium in Baltimore is looking for the public's help in naming its newest baby sloth.
The aquarium took name suggestions for two weeks as part of the naming contest for the Linne's two-toed sloth that was born in late August. Starting Friday, the public is being asked to vote on the names that made the final cut:
Iris -- In honor of the beautiful flower
Camden -- In honor of the city it was born in, Baltimore, and the winning baseball season
Waylay -- Meaning surprise, like the baby was for Ivy
Izzy -- Submitted by a teacher on behalf of a Frederick County Public School class that selected the name
Luna -- Meaning moon in Spanish
The aquarium said a panel of staff members considered 1,726 names that were submitted.
People can vote on their favorite name at www.aqua.org/slothcontest by Nov. 15. The winning name will be announced Nov. 16.
The new baby is one of four sloths in the Upland Tropical Rain Forest exhibit.
Linne's two-toed sloths are commonly found in South America's rain forests, where they spend almost their entire lives in the trees. They are nocturnal by nature, fairly active at night and spend most of the day sleeping.
Check out the latest video of the newborn sloth on the aquarium's Water Blog.

I have great news. The Japanese cooking site I use the most, Cookpad, now has an English page. Cookpad is Japan's biggest recipe submission site. This is very exciting for those days when I need inspiration but can't be bothered to research in Japanese. It looks like they translated everything as is because the recipes have the same cutesy titles the Japanese titles have.
I like the way they have sorted the recipes. Some of the categories have interesting names. I looked for an allergy-friendly category but there doesn't seem to be one yet. Hopefully soon.
Here are some useful recipe categories
- Japanese vegetables
- Bento fillers sorted by color – Fun, no?
- Healthy meals – there are subcategories like iron-rich
- Regional recipes
- Recipes using miso

MONTICELLO — Guilty. Paul Novak murdered his estranged wife by strangling her. He set Catherine Novak's western Sullivan County home ablaze to cover up the killing. Then he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance payments on Catherine's life and home in the tiny hamlet of Lava, just outside Narrowsburg.
MONTICELLO — Guilty.
Paul Novak murdered his estranged wife by strangling her. He set Catherine Novak's western Sullivan County home ablaze to cover up the killing. Then he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars in insurance payments on Catherine's life and home in the tiny hamlet of Lava, just outside Narrowsburg.
A jury of eight men and four women on Friday morning found the former paramedic guilty on all counts: First-degree murder, arson, grand larceny and insurance fraud.
Novak will be sentenced Dec. 19 in Sullivan County Court, where the trial — the longest in Sullivan history, said Judge Frank LaBuda — riveted a region for seven weeks, thanks to its sensational ingredients. They included an ex-lover and best friend-turned-star witnesses, and testimony by the country's leading forensic pathologist, Michael Baden.
When the verdict was read, Novak — momentarily freed from the chains with which he would soon be shackled — didn't flinch as he sat next to his lawyer, Gary Greenwald. His girlfriend, Kat DelGrosso, cried silent tears. Across the aisle in the wood-paneled courtroom filled with about 40 onlookers, the members of Catherine Novak's family seemed to heave a collective sigh of relief.
But outside the Sullivan County Courthouse, many of the 12 men and women who decided Novak's fate knew their verdict wasn't just about the guilt of one man who, according to his former girlfriend, Michelle LaFrance, and his former pal, Scott Sherwood, drove to Sullivan County from Long Island on the night of Dec. 12, 2008, intending to knock out Catherine with chloroform and kill her as she lay in the house he would burn. The same man who strangled is wife when the chloroform didn't work.
The jurors said they were weighing the burden of holding a man's life in their hands — and trying to do right by Catherine.
"We did it for the sake of the wife," said one juror.
And because they knew their verdict would forever alter lives, they deliberated long and hard — for two full days and about two hours of the third.
"You couldn't necessarily take Michelle's testimony alone, or Sherwood's," said another juror. "But taken all together, with everything else, it added up."
Said another juror:
"You get everyday people like us who are going to put someone away for life, it's tough."
That's one reason Catherine Novak's family, who stayed in Sullivan for some two months, expressed their gratitude for the verdict.
"We trusted the process, and now we know what happened," said Catherine's brother, Michael Lane, who thanked the people of Sullivan for their hospitality. "Now we're going to work with Paul's family to see what they need because this has been horrendous for all of us."
While Novak's lawyer, Gary Greenwald, said that "there will definitely be an appeal" because "justice is being delayed," Sullivan County District Attorney Jim Farrell — who tried the case with Steve Lungen, the DA at the time of the murder — said he was "extremely pleased with the jury's verdict" in this "extremely difficult case."
But more than an hour after the trial was over, and Paul Novak was back in Sullivan County Jail, one juror stood outside the courthouse and spoke of the case in more personal terms.
"I feel very bad for the children (Natalie Novak, 13, and her younger brother Nicholas, 10) who don't have a mother or father anymore," he said.
Then, turning to Catherine's family, the juror said, "I hope the day comes when you can smile."

July 4th is right around the corner. While we are preparing for the grilling and all other festivities many of us have lined up, have we stopped to think what the 4th of July is about? Independence Day is the national holiday of the United States of America that commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. The signing of the declaration took place in Philadelphia by our founding fathers that set forth the path that this country would travel. The first Independence Day celebration took place July 4, 1777 a year after the Declaration was signed. By the early 1800s the tradition of parades, fireworks and picnics were established as the way to celebrate America's birthday. For many of us, this day means celebrating freedom, the "American Spirit" and so much more that comes with this great country of ours. In honor of this special occasion, let's take a look a look at some red, white and blue products.
The Mavea Red Elemaris XL Water Filtration Pitcher is a water filter pitcher constructed from high quality material, including BPA-free plastic. The Mavea Elemaris water pitcher provides you with clean and clearer drinking water by reducing bacteria, dust, dirt, chlorine taste and odor. This Mavea pitcher has a capacity of 9 oz and includes a Smart Meter filter change indicator that measures water hardness, water volume and length of time in use for your convenience.
While it may not be cold or flu season, a humidifier can always come in handy. This Crane Cool Mist Humidifier relieves dry skin, coughing, congestion and cold symptoms. This white cool mist humidifier does not contain a heating element, making it safe for use in children's rooms. Adding to the practicality of this white Crane humidifier is its whisper quiet operation and 11 continuous hours of moisture.

This 4th of July, remember to stay safe. Also, let us celebrate the freedom that we have in this country. Let us celebrate this place we call home.

Item #3020
66 days. Some say pole beans have better flavor than bush beans. Blue Lake FM-1K certainly would support that statement. Besides outstanding flavor, plants are disease-resistant and high-yeilding. Vigrous, 5'-8' vines produce a bounty of 5"-7", white-seeded beans that are not only excellent fresh, but also canned or frozen. Resistant to common bean mosaic virus.
This packet sows up to 24 ft., or four 4-foot diameter teepees. See inside for instructions on how to build a bean teepee.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row/Mound Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost and when soil temperature is at least 65°F, ideally 70°?85°F. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, sow as recommended above but skip the heat of summer, as daytime temperatures consistently above 90°F will cause no bean formation.
When to start inside: Not recommended.
Harvesting: Snap beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when seeds have just begun to form and the pods are several inches long (depending on the variety). Hold stem with one hand and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which will continue to produce. Harvesting early and often will stimulate flower production for more beans. At season's end, plants are great compost material if they are disease-free.

Much like homegrown tomatoes and many other vegetables, beans' flavor diminishes in storage, which is why fresh from the garden is notably more…More…
