Last year I exclusively rode my K in the spring but then parked in on the bike lift, on the side stand until mid-September. Sort of forgot about it because my R was running so smoothly.
So when I finally got back on the K, it would stink of gasoline for maybe the first thirty minutes before the air would clear. Even ran the tank quite empty a couple of times and refilled it with fresh ethanol free gas. Always the same, smelly gasoline odour for the first 30 minutes or so of the ride. Parked it for the winter on its' centre stand with fresh ethanol free gasoline in the tank.
Took it out today for the first ride of the season (with 267,00 km on the odometre). Same smell for the first part of the ride. No odours when returned home.
Can anyone suggest where the problem might lie?

Thursday's the big day - are you really ready?
Even if you're an experienced cook who's prepared Thanksgiving dinner multiple times, there are ways to make the meal taste better and the preparation more seamless.
From A to Z, here are tips to help you pull off the holiday dinner without a hitch.
1 Apple crisps, pies and salads benefit from a little fresh citrus juice such as lemon or orange to add spark. For salads/desserts using raw apples, try varieties such as Gala, Braeburn, Fuji, Winesap, Pink Lady or Cortland. For pies or crisps, Empire, Ginger Gold, Braeburn, Jonathan, Jonagold, Golden Delicious, Northern Spy and Newtown Pippin work well.
2 Broken, stale bits and pieces of bread, cornbread, croissants, biscuits, buns and rolls make a great base for stuffing. If bread isn't a few days old, dry it out in the oven so it doesn't make dressing gummy.
3 Crusts on pecan and pumpkin pies can get soggy unless they're partially baked before filling. Blind-bake the crust by lining it with foil, then filling it with pie weights or dry beans and baking until the crust is about three-fourths done.
4 Don't baste the turkey after you've put it in the oven. Opening and shutting the oven door reduces the oven temperature and lengthens roasting time. Rub it with plain or seasoned butter or oil before putting it in to roast, then leave it alone except for rotating the pan for even roasting.
5 Enamelware pans or disposable pans aren't great for roasting turkey. Roast the turkey at 325 degrees on a flat rack inside a shallow (2- to 3-inch-high) rectangular roasting pan with rounded corners and sturdy, stationary handles so your turkey roasts, not steams.
6 Let the turkey rest after roasting by removing it from the roasting pan and letting it sit about 20 minutes before carving. The juices will go back into the meat, giving you a moister main dish.
7 Roasting the turkey properly means using a thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the thigh (without touching bone). If it's done and the rest of your meal isn't quite there, tent the turkey with foil to keep it warm rather than keeping it in the oven and drying it out.
8Dress things up a bit by cutting fresh herbs, such as sage, and sprinkling them atop stuffing. To add sheen to pecan pie, brush the nuts lightly with pure maple syrup just before slicing and serving.
9Gravy preparation doesn't have to be intimidating. Remembering the proper ratio of stock/drippings to thickener helps, about 1½ tablespoons of flour per 1 tablespoon fat per 1 cup of liquid. If your gravy is lumpy, pour it through a strainer or process it in a blender or food processor.
10Heat plates and meat platters at 300 degrees for 5 minutes so food will stay hot longer.
11 Ice is needed in big quantities. Get what you think you need, then add an extra bag.
12Stock will make your dressing and gravy more flavorful than water, so have several cans on hand. If making your own, sauté the neck and other giblets (except liver, which makes stock bitter) in a little oil with chopped onion before adding the water. This will intensify the flavor of the stock. You can make stock up to three days in advance and refrigerate it.
13Toasting nuts will intensify the flavor of pecans used in salads and other dishes. Put them on a cookie sheet and bake in a 350-degree oven about 7-8 minutes.
14Underseasoning food is one of the biggest mistakes cooks make. You want to season as you go, building layers of flavor. And make sure you taste what you're serving - with a clean spoon each time, of course - before putting out food to serve.
15Visualize what your table will look like, filling in where necessary in advance. Don't limit yourself to flowers; use fresh pumpkins, a wire bowl filled with pears, unshelled nuts and leaves in a variety of colors or fall-colored pillar candles surrounded by gourds and sprigs of bittersweet. Remember, when setting the table that the water glass goes to the right of the plate, above the knife, with wineglasses to the right of the water glass. Arrange the silverware in the order it will be used, from the outside in. Place dessert spoons/fork horizontally above the plate or bring them in later with dessert.
16Water pitchers/glasses can be dressed up with thin slices of lemon, lime or oranges.
17 Zesting a fresh orange over canned whole cranberry sauce will perk up its flavor and fragrance.

Anti-Herpetic Treatment of Genital Ulcer : Effect on HIV & Herpes Shedding (ANRS 1212)

|Condition or disease
|Ulcer Herpes Genitalis
|Drug: Acyclovir (ACV)
|Phase 2
Objectives. The proposed project is a randomised placebo-controlled, double-blinded, multicentric therapeutic trial evaluating the association of antiherpetic treatment to the syndromic treatment for the management genital ulcers in Africa, and its impact on the genital shedding of HIV and of Herpes simplex hominis type 2 (HSV-2) virus.
Background. Recent epidemiological studies have shown that infection with HSV-2 is highly prevalent in sub-Saharan Africa, and that HSV-2 seropositivity is a marker of high-risk sexual behaviour. HSV-2 infection is increasingly being recognised as one of the commonest causes of genital ulceration in many African countries. HSV-2 infection may act as a major cofactor for HIV transmission, a fact that has long been underestimated. First, genital ulcers (caused by HSV-2) are by themselves cofactors of HIV transmission, either by increasing infectiousness of dually infected individuals (HSV+/HIV+), or by increasing susceptibility of the seronegative partner. Second, HSV-2 infection may transactivate in vivo the genital replication of HIV, thereby increasing the infectiousness of dually infected individuals.
Rationale and main objective. HSV-2 infection - as a cofactor of HIV transmission - can be targeted by anti-herpetic specific drugs, either as a continuous prophylactic treatment during its asymptomatic shedding phase, or as an episodic treatment during clinically-apparent genital ulcerations. The main objective of this trial will be to demonstrate that acyclovir treatment given during clinical episodes (primary infection or recurrences) can reduce genital shedding of free- or cell-associated HIV, thereby contributing to a reduction of HIV infectiousness of dually infected individuals (HIV+/HSV+). Given the present state of knowledge and hypotheses formulated around the possible role of HSV on the HIV epidemic in Africa, the proposed research will contribute to confirm or invalidate the existence of mutual reinforcement of HSV and HIV replication. This will represent a study of biological plausibility for such an in vivo interaction. In addition the chosen intervention strategy has practical and operational implications in that it will allow the evaluation of a novel approach to syndromic management of genital ulcers in Africa that could later lead to revisions of management guidelines.
Methods. Approximately 600 women presenting with genital ulcers will be enrolled over two years and in two sites: Bangui (Central African Republic) and Accra (Ghana). The syndromic management of patients will include antibiotics to cover the presumptive bacterial causes of genital ulcerations in these settings (chancroid and syphilis), according to national and international guidelines (CDC, UK national guidelines, WHO). In addition, women will be randomised to receive either antiherpetic treatment (acyclovir 400 mg 3 times daily for 5 days, according to UK national guidelines - a shorter regimen than US guidelines) or placebo (similar frequency and duration). Clinical examination and cervicovaginal samplings will be carried out at D0 and at each follow up visit at D2, D4, D7, D14 & D28. These samples will be tested for: etiological diagnosis of ulcers by multiplex PCR; measurement of HIV genital viral loads (measuring free RNA and cell-associated proviral DNA) and HSV-2 DNA genital load; and diagnosis of other common STDs (at D0). Blood samples will be collected at D0, D2 and D28 for HIV, syphilis and HSV-2 serological assays, and for HIV plasma loads as well as CD4 measurements.
The main outcome will be the determination of the impact of anti-herpetic treatment on HIV genital load (and as a corollary, on HSV2 genital load). It will also be possible to measure the impact of antibiotic treatment on HIV viral load. The study will allow to evaluate the validity of novel syndromic treatment approaches for genital ulcer disease, and a long term outcome may be the necessary revision of syndromic management guidelines for GUD to potentially include anti-herpetic treatment.

I am in the process of selling a coop and my buyer's board interview is coming up. I know the building (and the board) better than my broker or their broker - is it appropriate for me to give them some advice on the interview?
Mods: propose a new sticky on "passing the co-op board." This can include wiredny members sharing their tales of the application and interview process, and a place for newbies to ask Do/Don't types of questions.
Would like, in my shy, retiring way, to start with this week's New York magazine article, in which I am quoted.

When Are You Going to Fix That?
And other things not to say in your co-op-board interview.

Illustration by Peter ArkleGetting the offer accepted is, strange as it sounds, often the easy part. Its passing muster with the co-op board thats tough. Assembling a killer package is key, of course (stellar references, wad of cash in the bank). Then comes the interviewand by this point, its your game to lose.
Ninety-five percent of the work has been done. The 5 percent is up to you, and thats a very important 5 percent, says Prudential Douglas Elliman broker Jacky Teplitzky.
Most rules are standardarrive early, dress conservativelybut brokers say some strategies appear counterintuitive. Take name-dropping. Though it may seem advantageous to mention friends in the building, agent Alison Rogers, author of Diary of a Real Estate Rookie, says skip it, unless youre certain theyre adored by their neighbors. You may score points with some, but annoy others who may not like them, she says.
In fact, steer clear of talking about anything specific about the building in general (the new fitness room or the chatty doorman). Those are what Corcorans Deanna Kory calls hot points. The gym could have come at a massive and controversial hike in maintenance; that doorman may be on his way out. Somebody on the board may hate [them], she explainsand your innocent enthusiasm will leave a bad taste in their mouths.
Samantha Kleier Forbes of Gumley Haft Kleier once had a buyer, hoping to look interested in the future of the co-op, ask if the lobby was scheduled to be renovated. Unfortunately for him, the lobby had just been done over. The board meeting is never the time to ask these questions, she says.
Served on the board of your old building? Resist touting your accomplishments. Thats a big N-O! says Teplitzky. No one likes a braggart, for starters, and you may unnerve board members who like things the way they are.
And though it may seem smart to dress to the hilt to gain entry to a chic co-op, Bellmarcs Cayle White recommends leaving the diamonds and Birkin bag at home. You dont want to look like youre trying to look rich. Its very ostentatious and gauche, she says. Your financial information speaks for itself.
And, says Kleier Forbes, you dont want to look like someone wholl steal someone elses husband. No ones ever been turned down for looking boring.
I am in the process of selling a coop and my buyer's board interview is coming up. I know the building (and the board) better than my broker or their broker - is it appropriate for me to give them some advice on the interview?
Sure, but with all those agents around you probably shouldn't be talking directly -- technically, you pass whatever info you want to your agent, who talks to the buyer's agent, who talks to the buyer.
So the chain is this: you >> your agent >> agent repping the buyer >> buyer.
The easiest way to do this is to write up a short e-mail memo that can be forwarded, but you're not going to want to make comments like "the board is very straight-laced and full of blue hairs" in writing.
So unfortunately, you're probably condemned to a game of telephone.
Since the info is going to passed orally, I would try to limit it to three salient points -- more than that is going to get lost.
BTW, I am so excited that your deal is moving forward! I seemed to remember that you were itching to move this summer . . .
Good luck!

this came to mind because I was reading another message board (I know, I know) where someone was ranting about their turndown despite the fact that they had "a house to sell" and "retirement assets!"
well, that made me think that I should point out that when you are approaching a co-op, 401(k)s, IRAs, etc. DO NOT COUNT.
Your ability to sock away retirement savings is a mark of character, and if you are a borderline candidate it will count for you just as a strong recommendation letter would.
But it's not accessible money, and therefore, it's not money, as far as the co-op board is concerned.
As a very broad generalization, when you're trying to buy a co-op, $25K in the bank is better than $250K in retirement accounts.
ali r.
{downtown broker}
Really? That seems so odd given you can get the money but you just have to pay taxes and a 10% vig (at least that is what I thought). Interesting..
Thanks on the other advice...yes despite all of the gloom and doom people are talking about I was able to get a full ask offer (actually had more than one). The trick was that I spent several months doing a mini renovation (refinished floors, new kitchen) and getting the places staged. Based on comparables, I got an extra $50-75K by spending $25-30K including reno, staging costs and carrying charges. Also, the place did not stay on the market long at all (got my first real offer in week 2) as it looked great online and showed well in open houses. Now I just gotta hope the coop board accepts!
Don't talk about relatives that may visit and stay with you. Definitely don't say your parents might come stay for a few months at a time.
Your friendly neighborhood real estate broker
I do not agreed with you. Any way, your ideal make me thinking about some thing for my project.

Hell no. What next, a body cavity search?
Because the Board Says So
Illustration by Bob Scott

No long chats with the doorman.No umbrellas or wet boots in the hall.
No welcome mats or decorations on the front door.
No wearing flip-flops in the lobby.
These are but a few of the more extreme rules that apartment boards in New York City have imposed, or at least thought about imposing, on the residents of their buildings.
The average co-op or condominium has two dozen house rules. Typically, theyre quality-of-life rules meant to benefit everyone in the closed community, said Toni Hanson, a vice president and senior managing director of Douglas Elliman.
While theres good sense behind many of these rules dont hang or shake things out the window; lay off the stereo before or after a certain hour certain strictures can charitably be described as quirky, not to say capricious or overreaching. Your home is your castle? Think again.
Its all, of course, in the interest of helping a building full of strong-minded New Yorkers coexist in (relative) harmony. Co-op boards have long issued directives about deportment and decorum, and condo boards are increasingly following suit. For the most part, they are well within their rights. Residents can either get with the program or get behind a co-op coup to remove the big-brother board members in their midst.
Generally, thanks to whats known as the business judgment rule, boards have broad latitude in making, amending and rescinding house rules the good, the bad and the decidedly wiggy. If board members think a situation needs to be addressed, they can address away without input from residents.
According to Steven D. Sladkus, a real estate litigator at Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz, one of the few exceptions is a stricture with a financial impact, for example, a proposal to institute a flip tax. Then, he said, there has to be an amendment to the governing document, which requires a vote of the shareholders.
Certain boards are more controlling than others, said Aaron Shmulewitz, who heads the co-op-condo practice at the law firm Belkin Burden Wenig & Goldman. Some seek to regulate everything you do in a building, which I think would make it a less enjoyable building to live in, he said. But some residents like that, because they say it keeps inappropriate behavior out and keeps prices up.
Rules tend to fall into several categories, including the use of shared spaces like the lobby or the elevator, pets and their comportment, and outward appearances both of the apartment owner and the apartment itself. And then theres the whole vetting process to even get into a building.
For one woman, an office coordinator in her late 20s who moved into a one-bedroom in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn last summer, it was the application request that took her by surprise.
In addition to the employment, asset, credit, reference and background checks a co-op board generally requires before scheduling The Interview, the officers of this particular building also demand that a security company check out the current residence of would-be buyers, a visit for which applicants must pick up the $50 tab.
The lease on my rental was up, so I was staying with my parents on Long Island, said the woman, who requested anonymity to avoid offending the co-op board. I dont think my childhood bedroom was going to give any clues about how I live, but if that was the policy, that was the policy. I wanted the apartment, so I was willing to do what I needed to do.
The scrutinizing, which took 45 minutes, included questions about the number of beds in each room, the number of people who slept in the beds and the nature of the flooring. The inspector also took photos of the interior of the house, the applicant and her parents. (!?!?!?!?_
Reader, she passed muster but remains puzzled. I guess the board members wanted to make sure I was a regular person, she said.

Bottom line, if you want the apartment, jump through all the hoops and hope for the best.

Insurance is a type of risk management fundamentally utilized to put off risks of unforeseen or unexpected losses. Insurances are characterized by the a proportionate transfer of a possible danger of loss, from one object to another, in exchange of some form of compensation or payment.
There are different types of insurances and commercial insurance is one of them. Commercial insurance is an insurance primarily intended for businesses. As a matter of fact, a commercial insurance is possibly one of the most significant things a business proprietor or owner can invest on. Also, this type of insurance may be very helpful in preventing possible losses as a result of unfortunate and unexpected instances.
Things to consider when you don't have an insurance for your business are property damage, theft, and liability. Operating a business without it is inviting risks, risks of loses in property and money. This risks may end up to be more expensive than the cost of the premiums in your insurance. With an adequate insurance coverage such occurrences may be minimized if not altogether thwarted. Business interruptions as well as injuries incurred by employees while on the job can be completely covered by your commercial insurance coverage. This will give you much peace of mind so that you, the owner, can conduct your business without having to worry about the possibility of something bad happening.
We all know that your business is very important because without it you you will not be able to earn a living and provide for your family. So why don't you consider acquiring a commercial insurance for your business? Even Hollywood celebrities appreciate the value of insurance. Most if not all of them have their properties and lives insured but not only that, they also have their assets insured and some of these celebrities are Mariah Carey, who insured her legs for $1 billion, Jennifer Lopez, who insured her huge derrière for $300 million and Rihanna who had her legs insured for $1 million to name just a few.
These days when everything is expensive and that economy is still suffering from recession, it is crucial that we have security on all our possessions and businesses. One can never be to sure of what may happen in the future so it is always better to be ready and secured rather than be caught off guard. So do not hesitate anymore about getting a commercial insurance. As the saying goes, prevention is always better than cure!

Recipe from Catherine Pawelek of Las Vegas, Nev.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour (due to braising)
6 Short Ribs
1 Cup red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
1 bottle amber beer
cup water
cup ground coffee (Kona or other rich coffee)
Salt and Pepper to taste
What you'll need for the Polenta:
1 Cup Polenta
2 oz crumbled Gorgonzola
1 Cups milk
1 Tbsp butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
What you'll need for the coffee liqueur sauce:
Cup Beef Stock
Cup Kona Coffee
2 oz Kahlua or other coffee liqueur
1. Take the short ribs and you simply rub the ground coffee onto the meat. Then you place them rib side down in a deep dish.
2. Add the red wine, the beer and water over the top of the ribs. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Cover the pan with foil and place it in the oven for 1 hour.
4. While ribs are cooking, here's a quick polenta recipe. In a pot pour 1 cup milk and the gorgonzola, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and slowly add polenta, stirring constantly.
As the polenta thickens add the rest of the milk, butter and salt, stir until incorporated.
5. When the ribs are ready, remove them from the oven. Place the pan on the stove top and to the reduced liquid add the beef stock, coffee and kahlua.
6. Over high heat stir the sauce and allow it to reduce (for 5-6 minutes). Plate the polenta and place a rib on top of each serving and pour the sauce over the rib. You can use rice, pasta or mashed potatoes instead of polenta.
Servings: 6
Comments: Make this a day before. Serve over rice, or pasta, and you have a fantastic dish

Fayette schools are holding steady in student numbers with enrollment remaining at the same level as a year ago. However, there are several changes among class numbers from last fall.
At the elementary school, last year's kindergarten class of 43 children shrunk to 37 this year as first graders. On the other hand, the fourth grade grew by three students.
At the high school, the sophomore class gained four members over the summer. Total school enrollment stands at 443, excluding preschool. Preschool numbers fell from 25 to 19.
This year's second grade class, at 23, is still the smallest, despite gaining one student since last year. The fifth grade and kindergarten classes are also in the 20s. The eighth grade class, at 53, is far above the average size for the district.
Lacy Stambaugh, who handles enrollment information for the district, reported that 28 Fayette school district students are attending schools in other communities through the open enrollment option and 20 students from other districts are enrolled at Fayette.

Fallen Birmingham airport monitors not inspected
OP boy dies, family members injured in collapse
A lawyer for the city of Birmingham says a large cabinet housing flight information monitors that toppled and killed a 10-year-old boy inside a renovated airport terminal wasn't inspected after installation.
The monitors were installed in a recent $201 million upgrade at Birmingham's airport. Assistant city attorney Steve Stine said Tuesday that the monitor display didn't require inspection under municipal code because it wasn't a structural component of the building.
The lawyer says the unit that killed Luke Bresette was a free-standing cabinet housing video monitors that rested on the floor, similar to a home entertainment center.
The child's mother and a brother remain hospitalized after being struck Friday by the overturned unit. The family was returning to Overland Park, Kansas, after a trip to the Florida Panhandle.

A disturbing audio clip that purports to show Oscar-winner Mel Gibson using the N-word and other derogatory terms as part of a vicious tirade against ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva has hit the web.
On the tape, a man who sounds like the "Braveheart" star is heard accusing a woman of lying to him about her breast implants. As the argument progresses, the man uses increasingly graphic and sexist language to criticize her appearance.
"They look like a Vegas whore. And you go around sashaying around in your tight clothes and stuff. I won't stand for that anymore," the man says.
Local news from across Southern California
NBC has not verified the authenticity of the recording, which RadarOnline posted on Friday. Gibson's spokesman and Grigorieva's lawyer have not commented on the recording's release.
Radar reported the alleged existence of the tape last week, claiming Gibson said at one point during the argument: "You look like a F------ pig in heat, and if you get raped by a pack of [racial epithet] it will be your fault."
That exchange was included on Friday's clip.
"I don't want you. I don't believe you anymore. I don't trust you. I don't love you," the man says at the end of the argument.
Earlier this week, Los Angeles cops announced they have opened a preliminary investigation into an accusation that Gibson beat up Grigorieva in January.
The alleged incident occurred Jan. 6 at the 54-year-old actor's Malibu residence, according to the sheriff's department.
In 2009, Gibson left his wife of 29 years and the mother of his six children to be with Grigorieva, 40, a Russian pop singer.
Since their relationship soured in April, the pair has been locked in a custody battle over their 8-month-old daughter. Last week, their lawyers met in closed session with the judge handling the case, The Associated Press reported.
Grigorieva recently won a restraining order against Gibson, claiming he punched her and broke her teeth, a charge Gibson has denied.
Back in 2006, Gibson's career was nearly derailed when he went on an anti-Semitic and sexist rant against the officer who arrested him for driving under the influence.
Earlier this week, Gibson was dopped by his agency, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, according to Hollywood Reporter.

New York Giants Superbowl XLII Champions – Commemorative posters
The New York Giants are Super Bowl Champions!!! As a Patriots fan, it has been hard to swallow. They were so close, but the Giants played a great game and now we can continue the discussion whether the Patriots are the best team ever. At least I will. The Giants winning is old news, but theses posters will help you remember the event forever or haunt your memory forever.
Let's not forget the Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning. At the beginning of the NFL season, if you told me Manning would be Super Bowl MVP, I would have said sure I could see that, but ELI. It is still hard for me to believe that it was Eli and not Peyton.
Congrats to Eli Manning, the New York Giants on a great victory and to all Giants fans.Explore posts in the same categories: Uncategorized

A module covering ethical issues that arise in publishing and reviewing articles.
Author(s): Caroline Whitbeck
Ethical norms for reviewers and editors, field-dependent conventions, and guidelines from particular journals as to how authors, editors, and reviewers of manuscripts and grant proposals are to behave.
Distribution of scenarios for discussion.
Panel discussion or small group discussion based on those scenarios and questions and any others that students or faculty wish to add.
Back to Top
For those in the physical sciences and engineering, it is useful to read:
"The review of a submitted manuscript may sometimes justify criticism, even severe criticism, from a reviewer. When appropriate, such criticism may be offered in published papers. However, in no case is personal criticism of the author considered to be appropriate."
Reading Questions for the Guidelines can be found here.
If your research is in biomedicine, it is useful to read the following very brief sections of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors' (ICMJE) "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" updated May 2000 on the subjects of:
Council of Biology (CBE) Editors Editorial Policy Committee. (John C. Bailar, Marcia Angell, Sharon Boots, Karl Heumann, Melanie Miller, Evelyn Myers, Nancy Palmer, Sidney Weinhouse, and Patricia Woolf). 1990. Ethics and Policy in Scientific Publication. Bethesda, Maryland: Council of Biology Editors, Inc. This volume contains descriptions of ethical problems and abuses that arise or are discovered in the process of publishing scientific research, together with the results of an empirical study of the frequency with which scientific journal editors encounter them. Topics include redundant publication, data-dredging, conflicts of interest, withdrawal of an accepted paper, prior publication in a "throwaway" journal, prior publication in a non-English journal, disputes over authorship. Note that the Council of Biology Editors has now become the Council of Science Editors.
Ethical Issues in Biomedical Publication. Jones, Anne Hudson and Faith McLellan (Editors). 2000. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins Press. This collection of essays includes several that specifically address issues of reviewing and editing including: "The Ethics of Peer Review," "Peer Review and the Ethics of Internet Publishing," "Educating the Leaders: Toward Systemic Change," and "Ethics in Cyberspace: The challenges of Electronic Scientific Publishing." Also included are essays about remedies and responses to problems which include attention to authorship issues.

This question is inspired by the question "ε-nets with respect to the cut norm" by the user Aaron, which had been reposted to cstheory.stackexchange.com.
The cut norm ||A||C of a matrix A=(aij)∈ℝm×n is defined as the maximum of |∑i∈I,j∈Jaij| over the subsets I⊆{1,…,m} and J⊆{1,…,n}. The "unit ball" in ℝm×n with respect to the cut norm is the convex polytope P(m, n) = {A∈ℝm×n: ||A||C≤1}. Let V(m, n) be the volume of this polytope P(m, n).
Since P(m, n) contains [0, 1/mn]m×n, we have that V(m, n) ≥ 1/(mn)mn. In other words, (V(m, n))1/mn ≥ 1/mn.
Question. Is this lower bound on (V(m, n))1/mn tight up to a constant factor? In other words, does there exist a constant c>0 such that for every m,n≥1, it holds that (V(m, n))1/mn ≤ c/mn?
This lower bound is indeed tight up to a constant factor if one of m and n is bounded by a constant. This can be shown as follows. In an answer on cstheory.stackexchange.com, I gave a sketch of a proof that V(1, n) = (2n)!/(n!)3. Using this, we have that V(m, n) ≤ (V(1, n))m = ((2n)!)m/(n!)3m. By using Stirling's formula, we obtain that there exists an absolute constant d>0 such that for every m and n, it holds that (V(m, n))1/mn ≤ d min{1/m, 1/n}.
A positive answer to this question improves the lower bound on Aaron's question to match the upper bound up to a constant factor.

Husband of deceased 360-pound Warren woman found lying in feces is accused of felony abuse
The husband of an obese, bed-ridden woman who died six days after Warren paramedics found her lying in feces has been accused of felony abuse, Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith announced Wednesday.
Michael Dewayne Brooks, 37, was named by Smith for a warrant charging him with second-degree abuse of a vulnerable adult. The offense is punishable by up to four years in prison.
Brooks was the primary caretaker for his wife, Yolanda Reese-Brooks, 41. She had suffered a crushed pelvis and ruptured bladder in a February 2011 auto accident.
On Oct. 16, police and firefighters who arrived at the Brooks' home in the Kings Pointe Apartments found her in a state of preliminary decomposition, covered and surrounded by feces.
Firefighters wearing HAZMAT gear to protect them from biohazards knocked down the door wall of the ground-floor apartment to extricate the 360-pound woman and her bed from her home. She died Oct. 22 at St. John Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Madison Heights.
Oakland County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. L.J. Dragovic, who conducted the autopsy, ruled that the Warren woman died of morbid obesity and complications from multiple injuries. Dragovic also determined that her death was an accident.
Mr. Brooks told investigators he had allowed his wife to lie in that state for at least eight or nine days, Smith said.
"Michael Brooks' shameful neglect of his wife rises to the level of criminal abuse," the prosecutor said. "It's unthinkable to allow a loved one to suffer in this disgraceful manner."
Michael Brooks has not yet been arraigned.
"We are contacting him," Warren Police Commissioner Jere Green said. "We'll make arrangements for him to turn himself in. I don't think he's a risk to flee. That way, he can contact his attorney and come in."
Investigators say Brooks has been cooperative throughout the investigation.
The apartment had no beds or mattresses for the couple's four children, ages 13, 11 and 2-year-old twins. The refrigerator was empty, except for spoiled meat on the bottom shelf, Smith said.
The four children were removed from the home by Child Protective Services and placed temporarily with a sister of Yolanda Reese-Brooks. A hearing is expected to be scheduled to determine permanent placement.
Green said the children appeared "clean, nourished and adjusted" at the time their mother was found lying in filth. The apartment was infested with insects, including maggots on the mother's bed.
Detectives interviewed local school officials to determine whether there was any indication of serious problems in the children's home.
"There were no red flags or indicators to them," Green said.
The police commissioner added that school representatives spoke to Yolanda Reese-Brooks by phone this school year about student activities, but she reported no concerns.

I love the new advertisement for ?? is it WalMart? It may not be the most successful ad, since I cannot remember what it is for, but I love it anyway.
We are all raised with an idea of what beauty is. My mother tends to use the word pretty for all kinds of things. "Doesn't she have a pretty face?" "That shirt is pretty." "There's a pretty rock."
Conversely, anything she does not like is ugly. "That sausage tastes ugly." "That yard is ugly." Etc.
My idea of pretty is a bit off from my mothers. I think that Whoppi Goldberg is one of the prettiest actors (I guess using actress is not PC.) around. But, somehow judging say, Nicholas Cage, on a pretty scale is just wrong. Now, if you want to talk Viggo Mortensen——.
I have painted portraits professionally for over twenty years now, and I think all faces are beautiful. I love Whoppi's smile. It makes her beautiful. Some people have beautiful eyes. Some have beautiful wrinkles. Honest!
And, I love to watch that commercial because every one of those people is beautiful, and so are you!
P.S. Right now, I'm looking in the mirror and reminding myself that I have always thought wrinkles were pretty.

Good Day All
Recently had a Windows 8 HP Pavilion laptop blue screen with error code "unable to mount bootable drive". Machine is fried.
After several attempts to resurrect the laptop - I gave up and decided to remove the hard drive (TOUGHDRIVE), which basically has my life on it. :) Needless to say, it not backed up.
I have a Sabrent SATA bridge cable that lets me view SATA and IDE drives and retrieve data by simply using File Explorer.
The odd time - as in this case - I come across a TOUGHDRIVE that has a GPT Partition that essentially blocks my computer (Windows 10 HP Desktop) from viewing the drive. My TOUGHDRIVE displays in device manager (it is a Toshiba MQ01ABD075), and displays in Disk Management as Basic type, Healthy (GPT Protective Partition). But I cannot access the dat in File Explorer. Does not even register as a drive. Normal, I trust MBR (Master Boot Record), drives would just pop up as a new Drive F, G etc. in File Explorer. I can simply copy (Drag and drop) data using File Explorer.
My understanding - I stand to be corrected - is that if I can replace the GPT partition with an MBR partition, I will be able to read the drive. I want ot know if that is viable first of all.
There are a couple of products EASEUS and MINITOOL (Partiion Wizard) claim to be able to replace the GPT partition with an MBR partition making the drive readable. Anyone used those in this situaion.
I can rid the partition from the drive using DISKPART, but it essentially wipes the disk clean and I will lose my data/.
Finally, I was able to recover about 500 GB of data from the drive using Pandora File Recovery, and while the files recovered are in separate folders (DOCX, JPEG, PDF, MPEG< etc.) it will take me a month to go through them all, rename them etc.and not sure everything has been recovered in the first place. For example, my recovery includes about 100 JPEG folders with around 500 images in each folder from (what seems like) every website I have visited in the last 5 years - mixed in with my own personal camera images. Repeat this for all the folder types, and you can see what I am faced with. Much easier if I can see the directory tree on the drive and get the essential data I need off the drive.
Has anyone come across this GPT situation and figured out a way to get around it? Please help!!!
Hey, so sorry for the long post. Wanted to be as concise as possible. Attached a couple of images as to what I see in Device and Disk Manager. Drive is there, but cannot read file structure in File Explorer.

Ward Cunningham, the creator of the wiki, is proud of his invention. "We changed the world together," he says of those who contributed to his software development site C2, which spawned the online collaboration software that underpins Wikipedia and countless other services across the net.
But there is one thing about the wiki that he regrets. "I always felt bad that I owned all those pages," he says. The central idea of a wiki – whether it's driving Wikipedia or C2 – is that anyone can add or edit a page, but those pages all live on servers that someone else owns and controls. Cunningham now believes that no one should have that sort of central control, so he has built something called the federated wiki.
This new creation taps into the communal ethos fostered by GitHub, a place where software developers can not only collaborate on software projects but also instantly "fork" these projects, spawning entirely new collaborations.
Over the years, developers have written over 35,000 pages of content on C2, all of which reside on Cunningham's server instead of on servers controlled by the author. When you contribute to someone else's wiki, you risk losing all your changes if that site goes down. It also means you have to play by someone else's edit rules.
There's nothing stopping you from copying and pasting your contributions from a wiki, or starting your wiki if you don't like someone else's edits. But it can be hard to attract an audience. Cunningham says that in the early days of the wiki, many other people tried to start software development wikis but most of them didn't get much traction. People wanted to contribute to C2, because that's where the readers were.
The federated wiki is an attempt to solve these problems. As a starting point, he has built a new piece of software – dubbed The Smallest Federated Wiki – to demonstrate the concept. The radical idea of the wiki was to put an edit button on every page. The radical idea of the federated wiki is to put a "fork" button on every page.
Cunningham's vision is that you will have your own wiki, perhaps several wikis. When you see a page on someone else's federated wiki that you want to edit, you can click "fork," and the page is copied into your own wiki where you can edit it. The owner of the original wiki can then decide whether to merge your changes into the original page.
Readers can still find a list of forks, so even if your changes aren't accepted readers can still find your version of a page. The federated wiki concept does more than just help editors own their own data, Max Ogden, a Code for America fellow who has advised Cunningham, tells Wired. It enables dissent.
"Wikipedia forces you to give up your own perspective," Ogden says. There are issues that no one will agree on, but with the federated wiki model, everyone can have their own version of controversial pages. "And they're all linked together, so you can still explore them like a wiki."
The similarities between the federated wiki and GitHub are not coincidental. "The radical code sharing that's implicit to GitHub was an inspiration," Cunningham says.
But is it too nerdy to catch on? To run The Simplest Federated Wiki, you'll need your own web server, which Cunningham thinks is an important part of the project. Cunningham credits this philosophy to Network Startup Resource Center founder Randy Bush, who helped Cunningham set up the server that C2 ran on when it first launched in 1994.
When Cunningham met him in 1994, Bush was helping universities in developing nations set up web servers and connect them to the internet. It was Bush who first introduced Cunningham to the idea that everyone should have their own web server. Cunningham doesn't think you necessarily need to have your own physical server under your desk anymore, but thinks it makes sense for people to control their own servers.
"If people don't control their own infrastructure, they get needy," he says. They're at the mercy of service providers who can disappear, impose rules that constrain creativity and/or make it difficult to backup content that you've created. "It's good to simplify things, but they shouldn't be simplified in such a way as to make the user helpless."
To make Federated Wiki easier to adopt, there's a one-click installer to deploy a server to Amazon Web Services. But today, with even many of most tech savvy of operators choosing to post their content to walled gardens like Facebook, Tumblr, and Google+, Federated Wiki may be facing an uphill battle. But Cunningham is undaunted.
"The assumption is that we won't be creative, but Facebook proves that everyone wants to have their own page, their own stream," Cunningham says.

Pelecopsis pavida
≤ 1900
2006 ≤
Female ? mm; male ? mm.
Simon, 1864.
Blackwall, 1859 (Line Weaving Spiders).
Characters of family:
The linyphiids belong to the group of ecribellate spider families having 8 eyes and 3 tarsal claws. The eyes are arranged in 2 rows of 4, usually heterogeneous in size with the anterior medials smaller than the rest. Frequently, the eyes are ringed with black, this being most noticeable in species with lighter coloured carapaces such as many species of the Linyphiinae subfamily. Some species adapted to dark habitats have the eyes much reduced, sometimes being very minute in size or only evidenced by pale markings under the integument (e.g.
Porrhomma rosenhauri
). The carapace is highly variable especially in the smaller species belonging to the Erigoninae subfamily. Males of this large subfamily frequently have the frontal region modified into strangely formed lobes or bear other types of protuberances some of which may have tufts of hairs. Some species have the carapace punctured with pits (see images of
Lophomma punctatum
). The males may also have sulci (grooves) running backwards from the posterior eyes. The chelicerae do not possess a lateral condyle (boss at base of chelicer). The outer side of the chelicerae have horizontal stridulating ridges visible in many species. Such ridges only occur scattered in other spider families (see for example images of ridges in
Metellina stridulans
of the Tetragnathidae). The labium is strongly rebordered as in the Nesticidae, Araneidae, and Tetragnathidae. The endites are usually parallel. Legs are slender and provided with spines. The number of spines on the legs is an important character for species identification when this is undertaken using the stereomicroscope. The abdomen is nearly always longer than wide sometimes with a pattern (Linyphiinae in particular) and sometimes mainly uniformly coloured, very often blackish (Erigoninae in particular). Some species posses an abdominal scutum as for example some members of the
genus. The epigynes are variable, sometimes simple as in the Erigoninae or provided with a scapus as often seen in the Linyphiinae. The male palp often possesses an U-shaped paracymbium. The family was earlier divided in to two subfamilies, which sometimes were elevated to family status: the Linyphiidae and Erigonidae (also known as Micryphantidae). The Linyphiidae was characterized by not having tibial apophyses on the male palp, by having a claw on the female palp in most species, and by having two dorsal spines on tibia IV or if only one spine present there was one short spine on metatarsi I and II. The Erigonidae was characterized by having at least one tibial apophyses on the male palp, by lacking a claw on the female palp, and by having just a single dorsal spine on tibia IV and with the metatarsi spineless, or all spines lacking altogether. However, the family is now divided in to seven subfamilies, the Dubiaraneinae, Erigoninae, Ipainae, Linyphiinae, Micronetinae, Mynogleninae, and Stemonyphantinae. Consult recent literature or Wikipedia for lists of subfamily genera. See also

COROT factsheet
Searching for planets outside our Solar System and mapping the stellar interiors
Name COROT stands for 'Convection Rotation and planetary Transits' which describes the scientific goals of the mission.
Description COROT is the first mission capable of detecting rocky planets, several times larger than Earth, around nearby stars. It is also the first European mission to carry out asteroseismology, that is looking inside stars to discern their physics. It consists of a small (30-centimetre) space telescope.
Launch 27 December 2006 (Soyuz-Fregat launcher at Baikonur, Kazakhstan).
Status In operations.
Journey After launch, COROT was placed on a circular orbit allowing continuous observations of two regions in the sky for more than 150 days each.
Notes COROT's main tasks are:
- to detect planets in other stellar systems as they pass in front of their parent stars, blocking some of the light, and
- to study stellar interiors by detecting the ripples spreading across a star's surface, altering its brightness. The exact nature of the ripples allows astronomers to calculate the star's precise mass, age, and chemical composition.
ESA's involvement places COROT into the European framework to search for habitable planets. In particular, it will open the door to future missions like ESA's Darwin.
COROT is a mission led by the French National Space Agency, CNES. ESA joined the mission in October 2000 by agreeing to provide the optics for the telescope and to test the payload.
Through this collaboration a number of European Scientists have been selected as Co-Investigators in open competition. They come from Denmark, Switzerland, the UK and Portugal. The baffle of the telescope has also been developed by a team at ESA's European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC).
ESA's Research and Scientific Support department (RSSD) at ESTEC is a full partner by providing the on-board Data Processing Units (DPU's). Other partners in COROT are Austria, Spain, Germany, Belgium and Brazil.
The ground stations used for COROT are located in Kiruna (S), Aussaguel (F) Hartebeesthoek (South Africa), Kourou (French Guyana), with mission specific ground stations in Alcantara (Brazil) and Vienna (A).

Enforcement actions taken against investment advisory firms by state securities regulators nearly doubled to 399 in 2011—accounting for 15% of all enforcement actions handled by state securities regulators, according to the North American Securities Administrators Association's (NASAA) annual enforcement report.
Prison time resulting from state-initiated actions totaled 1,662 years, up 47% from the year before, and the number of advisors and broker-dealers removed or barred from the industry spiked as well, according to NASAA's report, released this week.
Of the 6,121 investigations state securities regulators conducted last year, 2,602 of them led to criminal, administrative and civil enforcement actions, NASAA said, with the report also noting that financial abuse of seniors was identified in nearly 600 reported enforcement actions.
State securities regulators also removed or barred unscrupulous brokers and advisors from the licensed community. In 2011, nearly 2,800 licenses were withdrawn due to state action, up 7.7% from the year before; and 774 licenses were denied, revoked, suspended or conditioned, up 20% from 2010.
Matt Kitzi, Missouri securities commissioner and chair of NASAA's Enforcement Section, said in late August when announcing NASAA's annual list of top investor threats that he expects to see more advisor violations as state regulators start examining midsize advisors—those with $25 million to $100 million in assets under management—that transferred from federal to state registration under the Dodd-Frank "switch" in July.
Many midsize advisors "have not been examined in many years or ever," Kitzi said. "We think we'll continue to find more enforcement issues with these advisors."
State-initiated enforcement actions resulted in more than $2.2 billion in investor restitution orders in 2011. Heath Abshure, NASAA president and Arkansas securities commissioner, said in a statement announcing the report findings that much of this restitution is attributable to repurchases of auction rate securities (ARS) stemming from state-led actions.
State securities regulators also levied fines or penalties of $126 million.
The majority of the investment fraud cases reported by state securities regulators featured unregistered individuals selling unregistered securities, with more than 800 reported actions involving unregistered securities, and more than 800 actions involving unregistered firms or individuals.
The survey found 240 suitability investigations were reported, the most common of the reported industry investigations, followed closely by the 237 reported investigations into dishonest or unethical practices. In addition, nearly 150 failuretosupervise investigations were reported.
The states also reported dozens of investigations triggered by suspected violations in each of the following categories: books and records, unauthorized trading, selling away and churning.
For the second consecutive year, NASAA says that Regulation D Rule 506 private offerings and real estate investment schemes were the most reported products "at the heart" of state securities enforcement actions.
Violations involving structured products were reported the most widely, the report found, with dozens of cases reported involving variable or equity indexed annuities, and 16 states reported a total of 47 actions involving hedge funds or private equity funds.
The report states that "inclusion of these products in this summary is no surprise, as the items referenced above have led the list of most common products at the center of enforcement actions for years."

American History
Those four black girls blown up
in that Alabama church
remind me of five hundred
middle passage blacks,
in a net, under water
in Charleston harbor
so redcoats wouldn't find them.

Michael S. Harper was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 18, 1938. He earned a BA and MA from what is now known as California State University, and an MFA from the University of Iowa.
Harper published more than ten books of poetry, including his debut collection, Dear John, Dear Coltrane (University of Illinois Press, 1970), which was nominated for the National Book Award.
His other collections include Images of Kin (University of Illinois Press, 1977), which won the Melville-Cane Award from the Poetry Society of America and was nominated for the National Book Award; History Is Your Heartbeat (University of Illinois Press, 1971), which won the Black Academy of Arts & Letters Award for poetry; and Songlines in Michaeltree: New and Collected Poems (University of Illinois Press, 2000).
About Songlines in Michaeltree, a review in Publisher's Weekly said: "Harper has eschewed neither the personal, political nor the lyrical, but consistently forged a middle road from the multiple intersections of memory and experience, music and language, oppression and achievement ... His elegiac meditations on jazz legends such as John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and Bud Powell are well known, and his use of repetition and lyric fragmentation displays the influence of not only that supercharged idiom, but the slower-paced traditions of African-American blues, gospel, and folk music. Harper's writing, however, derives only in part from these traditions, and the many finely honed narratives in this collection display the influence of poets as diverse of Yeats, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Elizabeth Bishop."
Harper edited the Collected Poems of Sterling A. Brown (Triquarterly, 1980); he was coeditor with Anthony Walton of The Vintage Book of African American Poetry (Vintage Books, 2000) and Every Shut Eye Ain't Asleep: An Anthology of Poetry by African Americans Since 1945 (Back Bay Books, 1994), and with Robert B. Stepto of Chant of Saints: A Gathering of Afro-American Literature, Art, and Scholarship (University of Illinois Press, 1979).
He was the first poet laureate of the state of Rhode Island (1988-1993) and received many other honors, including fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. Harper was a professor of English at Brown University, where he taught from 1970 to 2013. He lived in Barrington, Rhode Island, until his death on May 7, 2016.

I know we're all waiting for Alliances, but in the meantime this could be fun.
Any ideas you have for items... They can be serious or joking. :P
I'd like to see a tiered item (maybe a piece of jewelry) that has 20-35% chance to cleanse at the beginning of each attacking round.
I'd like to see another tiered item (a mace) with 20-35% to disable enemy's attack used against you for their next attacking round.
And Id like to see a mythic item (pair of angel wings) that when the character is KO'd, has 80% for all AP costs to be 0 for next two attacking rounds.
I'll be back with more!

When was the last time you can remember global warming being the top story on the evening news?
Yeah, I don't remember either.
The United Nations' international climate policy negotiations in Copenhagen back in 2009 was the last time that global warming was consistently front page news.
That seems strange, doesn't it? Particularly given that the United Nations has stated repeatedly that climate change caused by global warming is the "single biggest threat facing humanity today"!
Okay, I know, the end of the world is "so yesterday," right? We need new ways of telling the same story to keep it interesting. Climate campaigns have to ride waves of public interest at critical moments, as if somehow the stability of our biosphere were just "a story" or "a belief."
Some reporters have closely followed the science and accurately reported the biochemical realities of what is happening to the planet as the result of too much pollution that contains heat-trapping greenhouse gases being dumped into Earth's atmosphere.
There is nothing hypothetical about it. All countries in the world agree that it's a crisis, yet they all are pointing their fingers at each other, effectively saying "I won't change unless you do first." Meanwhile the evening news continues to show business-as-usual stories every day, with rarely a word about the climate crisis.
This is even more frustrating as we see increasingly extreme -- even record-breaking -- weather events and little, if any, connection being made to this internationally recognized cause.
Have you ever wished that a weather person on the news would "go rogue" and express his or her fears about all the extreme weather? Well, I guess the cool kids at Deep Rogue Ram felt that way too, because they have made a comedy sketch in which a "weathergirl goes rogue" and actually lays out the full scale and severity of what is currently underway.
I was so stoked to see my buddy Pippa Mackie show up in this YouTube video on my Facebook wall. She was so fantastic I literally laughed out loud. I shared it all over the place and so did a bunch of other people -- this rogue weathergirl went viral fast.
Thanks to this creative video, hundreds of thousands of people have been laughing and learning all at once.
Kai Nagata is sublime as the straight-faced anchorman trying to keep things on script. Apparently the fantastic Heather Libby from Tck Tck Tck helped write the sketch, so it's no wonder that it's awesome, funny and terrifyingly accurate.
This video has re-inspired me to talk about climate change. Lately, I've been so focused on stopping oil spills locally that I haven't been talking as much about the big-picture reasons why we need to stop the growth of the tar sands. As the CEO of Enbridge was kind enough to point out recently, there is an international "energy revolution" underway; we should all more actively embrace the revolutionary shift off of fossil fuel energy that we need so urgently to make as a society.
If we don't talk about global warming, who will?
I think the next generation will be the ones to change our course. This latest video is part of an emerging youth movement that is ecologically literate and has a kickass sense of humour.
Speaking of inspiring youth, I'm excited by the recent efforts of the organization called "Power Shift". It's a great name that explains exactly what we need -- in more ways than one. They have a big conference coming up in Ottawa next month, which I'm looking forward to taking part in.
Let's all get re-inspired to see ourselves as part of the global climate movement.
We need to see more "rogue" weather reports, and news reporters too -- people who have the courage to cover the issue of climate change with the urgency it deserves. People who will tell the hard truths.
UPDATE: Since this piece was first published on Rabble.ca on Sept.12, the first in the "Weather Girl Goes Rogue" video series got over half a million hits. Today the second video in the series was released.

Bi-Rite Market's Fennel, Blood Orange, and Avocado Salad
As always with our Cook the Book feature, we have five (5) copies of Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food to give away this week.
By mid-February many of us living in the chillier states are in need of some freshness, and bright flavors. This Fennel, Blood Orange, and Avocado Salad from Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food might not be seasonal or local across the board, but man, it's a breath of fresh air for those of us living under grey skies. Bright, tangy citrus, licoricey fennel, and creamy avocado have the transportive ability to bring you to a place that's warm and sunny.
Why you should make this: This salad is the edible equivalent of a SAD light, bringing sunshine into even the gloomiest of winter cooking routines. If you're in a cold weather cooking rut, this salad is a real pick-me-up.
Next time we might think about: We can only imagine how much more vibrant this salad would taste when made from locally sourced, in season ingredients. In a perfect world, next time we'll be tossing this one in Southern California.

- Yield:serves 4Â
- Active time: 30 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 4 medium blood oranges
- 1 large or 2 small heads fennel, with fronds
- 1 small shallot, minced
- Juice from 1/2 medium lemon (preferably Meyer lemon)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon honey
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 medium avocados
Slice the tops and bottoms off the oranges to expose the flesh. Using a paring knife, cut off the remaining peel and pith. Slice the oranges crosswise into 1/4-inch slices and arrange on 4 salad plates, leaving room in the center of each for the fennel salad. Set aside.
Trim off all but about 1/2 inch of the fennel stalks, reserving the bulb and fronds. Remove the first outer layer of fennel and discard or save for vegetable stock. Rinse the remaining bulb and set aside.
Chop 1 tablespoon fennel fronds and put them in a small bowl along with the shallot, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, a pinch of salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Whisk to blend, then drizzle in the olive oil as you continue to whisk. Taste for salt.
Halve the fennel bulb, cutting lengthwise through the narrow side of the bulb (this will make it easier to shave thinly). Using a sharp knife (or a mandoline or food processor), slice the fennel crosswise as thinly as you can—about 1/16 inch is ideal. (Too thick and it will dominate the salad; too thin and it wilt and lose its texture.) Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with half the dressing. Toss, taste, and add salt and pepper as needed. Divide the fennel among the 4 plates, mounding in the center of the orange slices.
Halve the avocado lengthwise, remove the pit, and cut 1/4-inch slices into the flesh. Using a large spoon, scoop the slices out and nestle them on and around the mounds of fennel. Sprinkle a little salt over the avocado and then drizzle the remaining vinaigrette all over the salad. Finish with a bit of pepper.
