Kane's two goals propel Blackhawks past Bruins
Chicago takes 3-2 lead in series
CHICAGO - Scoring goals in important games is nothing new for Patrick Kane. After all, he netted the Stanley Cup-clinching goal for the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2010 playoffs.
The latest of Kane's heroics came Saturday night when he scored twice in a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins to put the Blackhawks on the verge of winning their second title in four seasons.
"Sometimes you catch some breaks," Kane said. "I was in the right spot at the right time tonight on both goals. I think everyone wants to be that guy in big-time games, and I've been lucky enough in a couple to step up."
Chicago leads the Stanley Cup Final 3-2 with Game 6 set for Monday night in Boston.
A bounce-back performance by goalie Corey Crawford and an empty-net goal by Dave Bolland put the finishing touches on the victory. Crawford, who was heavily criticized for allowing five goals in the Blackhawks' 6-5 overtime victory in Game 4, stopped 24 shots.
"It was a big effort by everyone to come back, play defensively, block shots, sacrifice our bodies to block those pucks and quickly get on to offense," Crawford said. "Another good game, I think, moving the puck, moving our feet, and getting into the zone."
The victory came as captain Jonathan Toews stayed on the bench for the third period with an injury. His status for Game 6 is uncertain. He took a vicious hit from Johnny Boychuk midway through the second period, but Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said he didn't think that was the "defining blow."
Boston faced a similar situation with alternate captain Patrice Bergeron, who didn't return to the bench for the third period after playing only 49 seconds in the second. NBC reported that Bergeron was taken by ambulance to a local hospital while the game was in progress.
"There's still a lot of good players on both teams that can certainly make things happen. But you know, it's a challenge," Bruins coach Claude Julien said. "It's about both teams wanting it bad enough and hoping guys step up and do the job if those guys aren't back, and that works for both sides."
Zdeno Chara ended Crawford's shutout bid with a blast from the left faceoff circle at 3:40 of the third period, making it 2-1. The shot beat Crawford high to his glove side, an area he struggled with in Game 4.
The goal came as the Bruins increased their pressure after putting only five shots on goal in the second period.
"We definitely came out harder in the third period," said Boston's David Krejci, who fed Chara for the one-timer goal. "We got that first one, but we just couldn't get anything going after that, we couldn't get that second one."
Chicago grabbed a 2-0 lead through two periods on Kane's two goals.
Scoring chances weren't plentiful in the first period, but the Blackhawks broke through at 17:27 on Kane's first goal of the night.
He stuffed in a rebound to the right of a fallen Boston goalie Tuukka Rask, who couldn't control a slap shot from Johnny Oduya. Rask finished with 29 saves.
The period was marked by physical play, highlighted by a scuffle between Boychuk and Patrick Sharp along the boards just inside the Bruins zone 30 seconds after the Chicago goal.
Rask wasn't tested often in the first but did withstand two close calls that would have cost the Bruins dearly. The first came when Toews hit the post to Rask's right at 3:38.
Rask went from left to right across the crease to deny Sharp with about five minutes left in the first to keep it scoreless at that point.
Chicago was able to make it 2-0 early in the second period on Kane's second goal. He backhanded the rebound of a Bryan Bickell wraparound chance that eluded Chara and Rask at 5:13.
The goal was Kane's ninth of the playoffs and third of the series, both coming in the past two games. Toews assisted for the second time in the game.
NOTES: The only roster change from Game 4 for either team involved the Bruins as center Carl Soderberg replaced left winger Kaspers Daugavins. ... Toews' assists were his first of the series. ... Game 5 winners in the Stanley Cup Final when a series was tied 2-2 have gone on to win the Cup 15 of 22 times (68.2 percent). The Blackhawks accomplished that feat while winning their most recent Cup in 2010. Meanwhile, the Bruins became the seventh team to rally from a 3-2 deficit to win the 2011 Cup. ... Saturday's attendance was 22,274.

I grew up with bulldogs and knew I had to have one again. I'd been obsessed with them since I was 8-years old. David went along with this idea, but wasn't really enthusiastic about it. He'd never had a dog and thought that bulldogs were a little over the top. We bought a house with a bulldog in mind (AC, fenced yard, etc.) and we went looking for the perfect bulldog.
We met our breeder and waited through two litters until a female bulldog was available. Maybull came home with us in late April of the year 2000. It took David all of a day to fall head over heels in love with her. She's the best bullie – obedient, sweet, funny and she loves everyone. She's beautiful, too. She's our bullie girl.

And I listed the others I plan to finish as in progress. Love Will Find a Way and A Guy Like You are still a-ok to use, right?
Here's my previous post in case it was overlooked somehow:
And upon listening some more to my MP3 of Didn't Know that I Could Feel this Way... there's no way to work around the last like 30 seconds, and there's no point to cut it well enough. Its just that the last 30 seconds is them scarfing down spaghetti in the most inelegant fashion so you can hear EVERYTHING and at the same time you're listening to a sappy love song.
E7's just... not junkyard puppy love. xD I've decided to stick with World Without Fences, but I'm ditching Didn't Know that I Could Feel this Way.
But I have a compromise; and it'll definitely work, no hitches whatsoever! (At least I hope not).

I didn't see it listed in the info for the other MEPs, but it seems a bit of a strange song to not use imo since its one of the more popular songs from a Disney sequel. But, if not, I'll gladly use it! xD
And um.
OhGod I had this glorious idea that I really want to use so badly but it's definitely only going to happen if I have enough time. I'm gonna leave it up anyways in case I do end up making it (BECAUSE I'D REALLY LIKE TO).

We beat a good team on the road. That's a start for us. Were not where you guys are yet. I am An old dolphin fan, but I remember how to win with dignity. Glad you came back, it was a close game and Bengal fans have nothing to be ashamed of. Good luck on the rest of your journey in 2012 and good luck to the Cincinnati Reds.
While i agree the score is not indicative of our domination. Bengals fans should be reminded of our 14--5 domination over the years. Good luck and if we see you in the playoffs in the next 2 years, you know the drill, keep quiet, we own you.
It was a strange game.....we got down 6-0 and then scored the next 17 points....I think it was 17-6 to start the 4th quarter? I think the play calling was bad on both sides at times, but we finally won a close one.
I wonder more though how in the hell Marvin Lewis has kept his job for so many years, especially before you guys had that good season a couple of years ago.
Anyhoo..... beat the hell out of the Steelers..... TWICE!!!!

- Description
This Gigapan highlights the Culpepper Ranch restoration project. Culpepper Ranch is a 1,200-acre parcel north of the town of Jupiter in Martin County, Florida. This project is designed to restore sheet flow and hydrology by removing berms, ditches and culverts. This ditch/ berm complex was built in the 1950's and 1960's to rapidly drain water from the property which would allow the ranching of cattle. Historically, the property was the location of the head waters of Cypress Creek which is a major tributary to the Loxahatchee River, which is a US National Wild and Scenic River. Unfortunately, due to the lack of fresh water during drought conditions, salt water intrusion is causing the loss of the Loxahatchee's trademark cypress swamps. By removing these ditches, raising the elevation, and putting controls on the culverts water can flow more naturally through the wetlands located on the Ranch property. During the rainy season water will be held on the property and, then, during the dry season this water can be released through Cypress Creek and into the Loxahatchee River where it will prevent salt water intrusion.
These images were taken after the project was completed but before the rainy season. The photos highlight cypress swamps and marshlands that were impacted by this previous drainage. Parts of the images show where the ditches and berms were leveled to promote sheet flow. Drainage caused by these ditches and berms permitted exotic trees such as Brazilian pepper (Schinus terebinthifolius) to completely take over the understory of the cypress swamp. As a part of this project, Martin County and the South Florida Water Management District removed the exotics. Future Gigapans of these sites will allow for time series analysis of how the vegetation communities shift due to these hydrologic changes. It is anticipated that water will be over a foot deep during the rainy season.

I think a club that starts out with thawed frozen birds should have to put it in the premium ,and should not have an entry fee that is equal to other clubs that are using freshly shot birds.I have seen these birds hit the ground with a loud thud , and wings still frozen against the body.Entry fees are largely based on bird costs. If the club isn't getting two birds per dog ,and using frozen birds too, that entry fee should be about half the going rate IMO.....Penny pincher regards
There are clubs that only pull in 40 to 55 dogs total. It takes a certain number of dogs to break even. They also keep their entry fee's as low as possible ,usually lower than most clubs. Thawed birds are generally in better shape than a shot flyer because sometimes shot flyers get hit pretty bad. Thawed birds if managed properly don't have a mark on them and are very fluffy. They will last just fine for that day,,and if they don't ,,well you discard the bad one weather they are fresh or thawed.
There isn't championship points involved and I have asked the dogs and they could care less. I am more concerned about crappy flyers and crappy throwers of flyers. . Clubs are trying to stay viable and if using a beautiful looking thawed out bird helps them loose less money then I'm all for it.
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Psalms 12: 8
The wicked walk on every side when the vilest men are exulted
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Further, I would defy the casual trainer to distinguish between fresh killed, cool birds from those which were fresh frozen dry and are then thawed for use. The act of freezing has little to do with a bird's condition or longevity of use compared to fresh dead birds. In fact I would wager that thawed birds if dried and handled properly will last longer than warm, fresh killed birds on hot days in the south.
And in response to the comment that a club "shoots" its birds the night before, why? There are much quicker, less time consuming, less costly & less destructive means of killing birds than by shooting.

The HT regs are very clear. Section 2: "A minimum of two live birds per entry must be made available for use at the discretion of the Judges in all test
levels." That's not a "suggestion."
While there is nothing precluding the use of previously frozen birds judges, and handlers, have every right to expect decent birds. Last year as a judge I refused to use the still frozen birds delivered for my Junior test and requested fresh killed birds to supplement the flyers we would be shooting. As a result we had good birds all weekend. I've also run tests when the still cold birds in the first series stank and had - frozen - maggots stuck in the what was left of the feathers. I have, politley, suggested to the club that the practice of using left over training birds is not a good idea. IMO handlers have every right to complain when decent birds are not provided and judges should expect that the club will abide by the guidelines. Judges must also inspect "each bird" and insure that every dog has a decent bird to retrieve whether they started as fresh or recycled.
It's fortunately not a widespread problem in the tests we've run.
Math assuming the dogs all pass the first series in junior and senior and the first two series in master
Junior 50 entries = 100 live ducks, 4 retrieves x 50 dogs= 200 retrieves
Senior 50 entries = 100 live ducks, 6 retrieves x 50 dogs = 300 retrieves
Master 50 entries = 100 live ducks, 13 retrieves x 50 dogs= 650 retrieves
Option 1: shoot 1 bird to start test then run test dog, rebird after dog2, 4, 8,16,32 Some birds have been retrieved 6 times by end of 1st series 7 times by end of test if a flyer is shot in both series.
Option 2: kill 50 birds send out to dead station, shoot live flyer at other station. No rebird requireed Each bird retrieved once in first series and 2nd time in second series.
Option 3 Start with 6 frozen/thawed birds rebird at dog 5,10,20,40 Some birds reused 5 times by end of 1st series and 6 by end of test.
Option 1: Kill 2 birds to start test, rebird at dog 1,2,4,7,11,17,26,39 Some birds used 9 times by end of 1st series, 11 times by end of test.
Option 2: kill 50 at start of test and shoot flyer, rebird at 25 birds used 1-2 times by end of 1st series, used 1-2 more times in second series. birds used 3-4 times by end of test.
Option 3: start with 6 frozen/thawed Shoot flyer, rebird at 3,7,14,24,39 Some birds used 6 times by end of 1st, 8 times by end of second
Option 4: Use 6 frozen/thawed on blinds only, rebird dead station at 1,2,4,8,17,35 Some birds used 7 times in 1st series, Thawed/frozen used 8 times on blinds only.
Master well expect to see birds used a huge number of times.....
Dogs Dog, Handlers Handle, Judges Judge
HRCH UH Greenwoods Sealion Tsunami MH QAA
Nothing in the rules prevents the use of previously frozen birds. Even with 2 birds per dog, there have to be some dead birds to start a test. Rules don't specify how, when or where the dead birds came from. The most common interpretation of the 2 bird rule, relative to AKC events would mean each stake should see 2 flyers (live birds) per event, if your dog is fortunate to finish the event (which in practice rarely happens at most events). The rule has nothing to do with dead birds & where they came from. We all have desires & opinions but clubs must run their events to not only meet the rules but also make sure they can cover incurred expenses within the fees collected. Maybe handlers have an expectation but to say they have "rights" to expect decent birds is to ignore reality. The clubs I know take the steps necessary to provide the best birds possible, both in quality & quantity. But clubs don't raise the birds & sometimes weather & feed costs result in birds that are less than desired. Further, weather & the test set-ups play a significant role in the condition of the available birds over the course of a weekend. Dogs should be trained to p/u birds of all condition (guess someone will complain that crimples are not fair next, notwithstanding the rules) & support clubs to put on the best events they can within the fees they are able to collect.

HSBC analysts Tucker Grinnan and Jia Wen, who have a Buy rating on China Mobile (CHL), sound frustrated with the market's perception of China's largest mobile telecom.
China Mobile operates on TDS-CDMA, a technology which Apple (AAPL)'s iPhone is incompatible with. It is the only one of the big three telecoms (the other two are China Telecom (CHA) and China Unicom (CHU)) that does not offer iPhones on its networks.
HSBC thinks instead of focusing on China Mobile's inferior technology, investors should look at how well China Mobile is upgrading its consumers to 3G's:
We continue to be surprised by the widespread view that China Mobile (CM) is losing market share to China Unicom (CU) due to the perceived technology disadvantages of TDS-CDMA. CM is consistently 50- 60% of 3G net adds and the YTD avg monthly net add share is 55%. The primary driver of CM's dominant 3G net adds share, is a more aggressive push to shift higher value 2G subs to 3G. CM continues to control the bulk of the high-end sub base given the lack of mobile number portability (MNP). We believe investors should focus on key metrics such as 3G ARPU uplift rather than academic questions over whether TDS-CDMA is better than WCDMA.
The analysts have a target price of HKD110. a 25% upside from where this stock is trading right now.
Media has been floating with a possible deal with Apple and China Mobile this month. That could alleviate investors' concern over China Mobile's inferior technology, but some analysts still think even iPhones can't lift China Mobile's stocks.
At 11.1 times 2014 P/E, China Mobile trades at a discount to its peers. China Unicom is valued at 15.1 times and China Telecom at 12.1 times.

Every year about this time we engage in the same arguments. Stuffing vs. dressing. Pumpkin vs. pecan. Green bean casserole vs. toxic waste. State vs. Ole Miss. Cutting vs. taxing. Paper vs. plastic and, in a similar vein, real vs. artificial.
For most of our 26 years together, my wife and I have had an artificial Christmas tree, the same artificial Christmas tree, in fact. It's your standard fake tree that comes out of a box out of the attic once each year and is divided into three sections that have to be put together to form something vaguely resembling something you'd find in nature if PVC were a naturally occurring element. That is, except for the time I decided to mix the three sections up, put the top in the middle and form a weird Christmas topiary that, just as would have happened in nature, didn't survive the evolutionary process.
But something changed at our house this year. It began when my wife decided it might be fun and a way to get into the holiday spirit and make a little extra Christmas cash to become a professional tree fluffer.
Now just like Santa Claus and the 14 Field Mice of the Apocalypse I wasn't sure tree fluffers actually existed. In fact, I'm not sure "fluffer" is actually a word.
But back in October, when the shelves were still piled high with Halloween candy and costumes, my wife announced that she was now a certified tree fluffer for a chain of home improvement stores. Certifiable I couldn't argue with. But what the heck is a tree fluffer, I had to ask.
I had to ask.
"You don't think all those artificial Christmas trees comes out of the box looking that nice, do you?" she answered. "Someone has to shape them, bend out all the branches so they look natural and can be decorated."
Now normally the biggest argument between a live tree and an artificial one boils down to convenience. Artificial trees don't shed needles, are reusable, don't have to be watered and you normally don't find small animals living in their branches. But what only a professional tree fluffer could point out is that live trees don't attack you.
After a couple of weekends of tree fluffing, my wife came home covered with what looked like a rash but was actually small puncture wounds from being stabbed by plastic pine needles. It should be noted that the first artificial Christmas trees were developed by the Addis Brush Co. back in the 1930s, makers of toilet brushes. Imagine flailing yourself with a toilet brush all day. That, my wife found out, is what happens to tree fluffers.
So this year, when it came time to drag the tree out of the attic, my wife said no.
"This year we're getting a real tree," she informed me. "No more fluffing."

3.13: Reactants and Products
Did you ever wonder what happens to a candle when it burns? A candle burning is a chemical change in matter. In a chemical change, one type of matter changes into a different type of matter, with different chemical properties. Chemical changes occur because of chemical reactions. You can see more examples of chemical changes at this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66kuhJkQCVM.
From Reactants to Products
All chemical reactions—including a candle burning—involve reactants and products.
- Reactants are substances that start a chemical reaction.
- Products are substances that are produced in the reaction.
When a candle burns, the reactants are fuel (the candlewick and wax) and oxygen (in the air). The products are carbon dioxide gas and water vapor.
Relating Reactants and Products
The relationship between reactants and products in a chemical reaction can be represented by a chemical equation that has this general form:
- Reactants → Products
The arrow (→) shows the direction in which the reaction occurs. In many reactions, the reaction also occurs in the opposite direction. This is represented with another arrow pointing in the opposite direction (←).
Q: Write a general chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when a fuel such as candle wax burns.
A: The burning of fuel is a combustion reaction. The general equation for this type of reaction is:
- Fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O
Q: How do the reactants in a chemical reaction turn into the products?
A: Bonds break in the reactants, and new bonds form in the products.
Breaking and Making Chemical Bonds
The reactants and products in a chemical reaction contain the same atoms, but they are rearranged during the reaction. As a result, the atoms end up in different combinations in the products. This makes the products new substances that are chemically different from the reactants.
Consider the example of water forming from hydrogen and oxygen. Both hydrogen and oxygen gases exist as diatomic ("two-atom") molecules. These molecules are the reactants in the reaction. The Figure below shows that bonds must break to separate the atoms in the hydrogen and oxygen molecules. Then new bonds must form between hydrogen and oxygen atoms to form water molecules. The water molecules are the products of the reaction.
Q: Watch the animation of a similar chemical reaction at the following URL. Can you identify the reactants and the product in the reaction? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SErRUqJ_x30
A: The reactants are hydrogen (H2) and fluorine (F2), and the product is hydrogen fluoride (HF).
- All chemical reactions involve both reactants and products. Reactants are substances that start a chemical reaction, and products are substances that are produced in the reaction.
- A chemical reaction can be represented by the general chemical formula: \begin{align*}\text{Reactants} \rightarrow \text{Products}\end{align*}.
- Bonds break and reform during chemical reactions. Reactants and products contain the same atoms, but they are rearranged during the reaction, so reactants and products are different substances.
- product: Substance produced in a chemical reaction.
- reactant: Substance that starts a chemical reaction.
Do the activities at the following URL for practice with reactants and products. http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/reactants-products-and-leftovers

Experience the ultimate in stainless-steel innovation with Demeyere cookware. Williams-Sonoma offers several Demeyere cookware sets and individual pieces that can turn your conventional kitchen into the culinary hub you have always envisioned. The unique aluminum-core technology of Demeyere promotes more heat conductivity, giving you a more even cooking surface for all of your favorite dishes.
Demeyere is a Belgian company that takes its stainless-steel technology very seriously. Since 1908, Demeyere has brought professionals and home cooks some of the best, longest-lasting and most beautiful cookware on the market. Because of the special Silvinox finish, Demeyere cookware keeps its luster for years, making it just as aesthetically pleasing as it is functional. Place your cookware on a pot rack or hang it above a kitchen island to give your kitchen a very modern appearance.
If you only pick up one piece of Demeyere cookware, make it a fry pan. A fry pan is one of the most versatile tools you can have in your cooking arsenal, allowing you to make everything from bacon and eggs in the morning to a seared and crusted fillet of sea bass for dinner. The sloping sides of a Demeyere fry pan make it possible to flip and turn foods without even using a spatula. There are five layers of stainless-steel in the pan, each with a layer of aluminum core between for fast heat distribution. The handle of the pan is made of stainless-steel, but it does not get as hot as the rest of the device, allowing for easy handling and transfer to a boiler.
For an even more versatile kitchen tool, check out the stainless-steel fry pan with a nonstick surface. This pan lets you cook your favorite meat without worrying about any extra residue sticking to the surface. When it comes time to clean up, simply wipe with a damp cloth. You can even send this device through the dishwasher to tackle larger messes.
Make the perfect sauces for your favorite pasta using a Demeyere saucepan or saucier. The sides of these devices slope in, making it easy to reduce the liquid inside, resulting in fluffy rice or polenta dishes. The round bottom makes it easy to break out a whisk or spatula to stir your dish, making sure water distribution is completely even. If you plan to make caramelized onions for burgers fresh off the grill, consider a sauté pan. These implements provide even heat distribution, making sure none of the onions burn during the cooking process. You can even add your finished meats to the pan to infuse them with extra flavor.
Make sure to add a large stockpot to your kitchen if you want to create the best soups in the neighborhood. A stockpot lets you create a broth, and then add ingredients to it to simmer all day long on the oven. If you enjoy a good seafood boil, turn your stockpot into a steamer with an added basket attachment. Simply fill the pot with water, place crabs, shrimp or crawfish into the basket, and then let them cook throughout the day. Make sure to add the proper seasonings, along with corn and potatoes for an authentic seafood boil.
Another way to cook food slowly is with a Dutch oven. A Demeyere Dutch oven accommodates everything from a large roast to a cherry cobbler. Simply place your oven on a low heat setting, and then let the stainless-steel capture the flavors of the dish. Because of the TriplInduc layer on the exterior of the Dutch oven, the dish keeps cooking even after taking it out of the heat, giving you an energy-efficient method of baking.

During the course of two weeks in May, America's top-ranking military officer went from warning that war with Iran could cripple the US military to rattling his saber at Tehran.
That's one interpretation, anyway. In an interview with Israeli TV that was broadcast on May 5, Admiral Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, struck a glum note when asked about the possibility of preemptively striking Iran's nuclear facilities. "I actually am very hopeful that we don't get into a position where we have to get into a conflict," Mullen responded, according to Reuters. "It would be a very significant challenge for the United States right now to get into a third conflict in that part of the world."
But on May 20, testifying before the Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee, Mullen sounded far more combative. Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, which the US designated a terrorist organization in 2007, is "directly jeopardiz[ing]" peace in Iraq, said Mullen, according to the Associated Press (AP). And then: "Restraint in our response does not signal lack of resolve or capability to defend ourselves against threats."
That seems like a major shift — but what did it mean? Did Mullen really rethink his assessment of whether the military could handle a new conflict? Did he backpedal after concluding that his earlier remarks could undercut diplomatic efforts to limit Iran's budding nuclear program? Or might one of the Bush administration's most hawkish members — someone from Vice-President Dick Cheney's office, perhaps — have pointedly told Mullen that attacking Iran was still very much an option?
Oddly, there didn't seem to be much interest from the media in finding out — or even in asking the question. The AP report on Mullen's congressional testimony didn't note his change in rhetoric. Neither did the New York Times, which made only passing reference to Mullen's testimony. (The Times story, which focused on the Jerusalem Post's claim that the US plans to attack Iran this year, was buried on A13.) And the May 21 Washington Post didn't mention Mullen's testimony at all.
To be fair, this dearth of coverage didn't come on a slow news day. The Times' front page, for example, featured stories about Barack Obama winning a majority of Democratic delegates, Ted Kennedy's brain-cancer diagnosis, and a fragile peace in Baghdad's Sadr City neighborhood. The top story in the paper's "International Report" section, meanwhile, was a follow-up on the Sichuan earthquake.
That said, the muted reception to Mullen's comments hints at the American media's broader Iran problem. The good news is this: the press seems to have learned from its failings prior to the invasion of Iraq, when the media's widespread credulity paved the way for war. The bad news, however, is that Iran poses its own journalistic problems — and these problems could lead, yet again, to the US launching a major attack in the Middle East without the Fourth Estate doing due diligence.

Serves 2-4
This salad is delicious for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make (particularly if you have cooked farro on hand), healthy, and satisfying. In place of the broccoli rabe, try roasted broccoli or cauliflower. Or prepare the salad without the eggs and add a handful of tiny cubes of aged or fresh pecorino.
Bring a medium pot of water (about 2-1⁄2 quarts) to a boil. Season with a
generous amount of salt—it should taste almost like seawater. Add the
farro, reduce the heat to maintain a low boil, and cook until tender, 20
to 25 minutes. Drain well and spread on a baking sheet to cool at room
Trim the stems of the broccoli rabe. The stems should be tender and crisp, and not at all woody; trim off as much as necessary. Cut the remaining stems crosswise into 1⁄2-inch segments, and slice the leafy greens into about 1-inch-wide ribbons. Wash and drain the broccoli rabe, but leave a good amount of water clinging to the leaves.
Warm a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbs. olive oil, swirl to coat the pan, and add the broccoli rabe in large handfuls. When the rabe has wilted, season it with salt, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender. The residual water from washing should be enough to cook the rabe, but if the pan dries out before it is cooked, add a splash more water as necessary. The cooking time will vary depending on the texture of the greens; tender broccoli rabe will cook in about 4 minutes; more fibrous rabe can take up to 12 minutes. When the broccoli rabe is done, push it to the side to clear a space in the center of the pan, add 1 Tbs. of the oil and the garlic, and sauté just until you smell the garlic, about 1 minute. (The garlic tastes best if it sautés quickly, directly on the pan, rather than on the greens.) Stir the broccoli rabe into the garlic and remove from the heat.
Put the farro and broccoli rabe in a large work bowl. Put 1-1⁄2 Tbs. of the vinegar in a small bowl and season with salt. Whisk in the remaining 1⁄4 cup olive oil. Drizzle the vinaigrette on the farro and broccoli rabe, and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or vinegar if necessary. Set aside at room temperature.
To poach the eggs, fill a straight-sided heavy sauté pan with about 3 inches of water, and bring to a simmer. Add the remaining 1⁄2 tsp. vinegar. Crack the eggs, one at a time, into a teacup, and gently slide them into the water. Gently simmer the eggs, turning once or twice, until they are done to your liking, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, and blot off any excess water with a clean, lint-free kitchen towel. (For a neater appearance, trim the eggs as well.)
Stir the farro once more and spoon into shallow serving bowls. Prop 1 or 2 eggs next to the farro. Drizzle a thin stream of olive oil on top. Using a fork, gently pierce one side of the yolk and fold back the thin egg white to expose the runny yolk. Season with salt, and sprinkle the entire dish with Aleppo pepper. Serve immediately.
Sauté bacon or pancetta and add to the salad or drape prosciutto on the finished plate.

ARSC HPC Users' Newsletter 362, May 18, 2007
Using Google Tools for Research Project Management
[ by Jessie Cherry, ARSC/IARC post-doc ]
A few months ago a friend of mine mentioned that he was using a blog to keep track of some of his permafrost research and share it with a collaborator. Pshaw! I thought. I was already an active blogger, but using a blog for each individual project seemed unnecessary. Surely these file folders on my desk were doing the trick? I had become accustomed to emailing around MS or Open Office documents after using "Track Changes" and adding comments. Or there was my graduate advisor who insisted on faxing his chicken scratches from distant hotels.
Well, I'm not sure what pulled me in--maybe the day the file folders all tipped over and spilled my coffee--but there's no looking back. I've been collaborating on a book chapter of late, and a combination of Blogger, Googlegroups, Googledocs, YouTube, and Googlereader have been really handy for this sort of project. Here I will outline how to set up a blog on Blogger and use Googlegroups and Googledocs for management of a research project.
In the event that others might have useful tips to share, I've actually created a blog about blogging for this purpose. This is called "The Research Project Management Metablog" and can be found here: http://scimetablog.blogspot.com To be even more Escher-esque, I will post this article on the RPM Metablog and will use the blog as an example in this article.
Step 1 : Determine who are the likely users of your blog. Are you co-authoring a project with a group of people who are disorganized and forgetful? Perfect! Are you working on a manuscript with someone who can't figure out how to use email? Not so good! You want to make sure that your collaborators are willing and able to use the forum you are going to establish. They may resist at first, but oral statements like "say it to the blog 'cuz this ear ain't listenin" may help. Finally, the primary users are going to have to accept a certain level of Googleuniverse in their life. That is, to use these particular tools collaborators have to be willing to use a Gmail account. As Google mail and blogs are data-mined, the blog or doc may not be a good place for highly secure information. If people have experience with other blog applications in conjunction with online document editing, etc. by all means share (on the Metablog, of course).
Step 2 : You'll need a Gmail account. If you don't already have one, go to http://mail.google.com/mail . Luckily, you no longer have to ask one of the cool kids to "invite" you to Gmail, which is good for those of us who were always picked last for the school dodgeball team and hate that sort of thing. When you open up your Gmail account, you'll see a listing of services in the upper left corner, including Groups, Documents, and Reader. This will all be helpful, as might other services like Photos. I suggest you set up a Googlegroup with all of the people who are going to use the blog. Blogger is able to notify a single address of changes to the blog. You could make this address firstname.lastname@example.com.
Step 3 : If you don't have one already, set up a Blogger account with your Gmail account information at blogger.com. Now add a blog for the project you want to manage. In the settings for this blog, decide whether you want to make it public or private, directory-listed or not, published as a RSS feed, etc. Set read/write permissions for contributors, if you want to restrict it to specific people. Finally, put in the Googlegroup address you created if you want to notify these folks of blog postings via email. Alternatively, one can use an RSS reader (Googlereader or another) to track the feed.
Step 4 : Go crazy with your blog. Use the Customize link or the Template tab to edit your page elements. For example, you might want a variety of links on one side of the page organized under different headings. Blogger has simple point and click editing or you can write html if you prefer. I've posted a number of sample page elements on the RPM Metablog.
Step 5 : Create a Googledoc from your Gmail account. This is similar to MS Office and Open Office word processors, except the document is modified and resides online. The application automatically tracks changes, though the method of version control is somewhat different than in other word processors. The user can upload images and do some formatting, though options are somewhat limited. There is also spellcheck and other standard features. Collaborators need to be invited and read/write permissions can be set. You can publish to the web, so that non-collaborators can see the document. I've done this with a sample document on the Metablog. Finally, the Googledoc can also be set up as a feed and read via your favorite RSS reader. You can also work on a spreadsheet in Googledocs and export/import word processed documents or spreadsheets from a variety of formats.
Here I've outlined some basic steps to getting you started using some Google tools to help manage a research project. I've also mentioned the example blog I created at http://scimetablog.blogspot.com . None of these tools are perfect...for example I haven't found a great way to deal with .PDFs other than post them on a server and link to them on the blog. The same goes for files of code or data. But there are also a variety of tools and features that I haven't mentioned that may be useful. I would love to hear about other tools and tips; feel free to post them to the blog!
Installing programs and libraries locally on ARSC computers
[ by Anton Kulchitsky ]
Many of us need software that is not installed by default on a system. It could be a specific library or a CVS version of software with some new features that you need. It may be preferrable to install such software locally if the software is very specific to your needs and might not be interesting for other users. However, if the software package may be useful for other users, please complete a software request instead.
This short article describes how you might want to organize your local directory, install software and libraries from the source and use CVS versions of your favorite software. The focus for this article is on software that uses the autoconf build system (i.e. configure, make, make install).
1. Preparation step #1. Organize your directories. If you are going to install new software to your home directory, your quota could be a limiting factor. If it is an issue, you can request an increase in quota through the ARSC Help Desk. First create a directory for installs:
mkdir $HOME/usrand a download directory:
mkdir $HOME/download
2. Preparation step #2. Environment variables To be able to run your programs just like all system installed ones you need your different path variables to be set to the proper directory. For our example we have:
export LOCAL_USR=${HOME}/usr export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LOCAL_USR}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} export LIBRARY_PATH=${LOCAL_USR}/lib:${LIBRARY_PATH} export C_INCLUDE_PATH=${LOCAL_USR}/include:${C_INCLUDE_PATH} export PATH=${LOCAL_USR}/bin:${PATH}You need to put these into your .bashrc file if you use bash shell. For other shells please adjust this as appropriate. NOTE: If you are using gcc, LIBRARY_PATH is where the compiler will look for libraries. C_INCLUDE_PATH is where the GNU C compiler will look for files to include. If the compiler you are using doesn't support these options, you can specify these directories with -L and -I options. See your compiler documentation for more details.
3. Installing programs/libraries from tarballs. Suppose you need to install Common Lisp clisp from source (clist is a very portable and powerful free ANSI Common Lisp compiler/interpreter) In this case you need to go online to http://sourceforge.net/projects/clisp/ and download tarball into your $HOME/download directory (tarball can be a file "clisp-2.41.tar.bz2"). Untar the source files with
tar jxvf clisp-2.41.tar.bz2or
tar zxvf clisp-2.41.tar.gzEnter the new directory with clisp. Read the INSTALL file for installation instructions. However, usually you just need to run
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usrPlease, notice the --prefix command. This is a key option for your installation, and will define where the package will be installed. In the case of clisp you definitely would like to use --with-readline and some other options. If you are not sure what options are available, run:
./configure --helpand read carefully. Then, the rest of the dance:
make make installAssuming everything worked correctly, you are done! Just type
clispnow you still need to verify it works as expected. Installing a library is almost the same process. However, you should not forget to link to your installed library explicitly. Suppose you installed a library parse_conf and use gcc for your program my_program. Then, you would need to link to parse_conf like this:
gcc -lparse_conf my_program.o -o my_programYou also might need to use -L option to specify the location of library (for example -L$HOME/lib).
4. Installing programs/libraries from CVS. Suppose you need a brand new CVS version of gnuplot. In this case change directory to $HOME/download and type
CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/gnuplot loginpress Enter twice and then
CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -z3 -d:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/gnuplot co -P gnuplotand press Enter again. You should get the source code. Enter the gnuplot directory and read the INSTALL file for instructions. In the case of gnuplot you might need to type
./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --with-readlineor something similar if you need some additional configuration options. Try
./configure --helpfor more options. After configuration is finished, you need only to run
make make installIf everything was configured correctly, gnuplot should be installed now!
5. Cleaning download directory You may want to delete packages from your download directory if you no longer need them.

Quick-Tip Q & A
A: [[ It's an easy Unix task to create the union of two simple lists: [[ cat old.txt additions.txt sort uniq [[ But how can I create the difference? I.e., I want to expunge [[ every line from "old.txt" which has a duplicate in [[ "additions.txt". # # Thanks to Oralee Nudson and Alec Bennett for this solution using # uniq -u. # cat old.txt additions.txt sort uniq -u > diff.txt This grabs only the lines which do not appear in both. The only pitfall may be that if lines exist in additions.txt that do not exist in old.txt, both will be picked up. # # Thanks to Chris Fallen for this clever solution which handles the # pitfall in the solution listed above. # To find the set-difference "O - A" of the sets "O" and "A" whose elements correspond to lines of the text files "old.txt" and "additions.txt", duplicate the set to be subtracted and use the -u option of GNU uniq to print only the unique lines: cat old.txt additions.txt additions.txt sort uniq -u prints only the lines in old.txt that do not occur in additions.txt. # # Thanks to Martin Luthi for this python solution. # If you have Python 2.4 or 2.5 available, the built-in set type does all you need: ==== #!/usr/bin/env python file1 = set([line for line in file('old.txt')]) file2 = set([line for line in file('additions.txt')]) # how big are the intersection, difference, union? print 'Intersection: ', len(file1.intersection(file2)) print 'Difference: ', len(file1.difference(file2)) print 'Union: ', len(file1.union(file2)) # remove all the elements of file2 from file1 file1.difference_update(file2) # write out the result (caution, the order changed) file('diffmess', 'w').writelines(file1) # # Chris Young's solution uses grep and is the only solution which # keeps the original list in order. # I think that your requirement can be handled with grep. -x for matching an entire line -v for Outputing only those values not matched -F for Interpretting the patterns as simply strings, no regex -f trash_em.txt for matching against a file with one pattern on each line So grep -xvFf additions.txt old.txt # # Thanks to Ryan Czerwiec for two separate solutions using comm and # diff. # If you have the "comm" command on your system, it is the simplest answer. By default it acts like this: comm file1 file2 It will produce 3 columns: 1) lines that appear only in file1 2) lines that appear only in file2 3) lines that appear in both. You can add -1 -2 or -3 to shut off each column, so you want: comm -2 -3 old.txt trash_em.txt uniq This will require an extra step beforehand, though, because comm requires that the two files already be sorted. You can always create a single line with multiple commands, from the command line or as an alias: sort old.txt > file1 ; sort trash_em.txt > file2 ; \ comm -2 -3 file1 file2 uniq ; rm file1 file2 If you don't have comm, some old standby commands will work, with file1 and file2 already sorted as before: diff file1 file2 grep "^ *<" cut -f2- -d' ' uniq In both methods, the order of the files is important; list the trash file second, or you'll have to change a few other things in the command. If you want to use old.txt and trash_em.txt as mutual trash files, i.e. get lines that appear in one but not both, the diff method is actually easier: just replace < with [<>]. For comm, you'd have to execute 3 steps (get union with cat, intersection with comm, difference with comm). Q: What's your favorite shell alias or shell one-liner.

This is my 2nd try. This time I used Version 2.0.0501 of Stitch after removing GPS data [which caused it to crash]. I fixed two areas where the sun briefly came out.
This location is a foot bridge across the river...it connects trails on the South side with trails on the North side. To the West [not visible in this image] is the confuence of the West and Clear Forks of the Trinity. The building is an old electrical generating station that served Ft. Worth for many years. It is scheduled for renovation and will be the downtown campus of Tarrant County College. This area is slowly being rennovated as part of the Trinity River Vision.

BROCKHURST had rarely appeared more blessed by spacious sunshine and stately cheerfulness than during the remaining weeks of that summer. A spirit of unclouded serenity possessed the place, both indoors and out. If rain fell, it was only at night. And this, as so much else, Julius March noted duly in his diary.
For that was the period of elaborate private chronicles, when persons of intelligence and position still took themselves, their doings, and their emotions, with most admired seriousness. Natural science, the great leveller, had hardly stepped in as yet. Therefore it was that already Julius's diary ran into many stout, manuscript volumes, each in turn soberly but richly bound, with silver clasp and lock complete, so soon as its final page was written. Begun when he first went up to Oxford, some thirteen years earlier, it formed an intimate history of the influences of the Tractarian Movement upon a scholarly mind and delicately spiritual nature. At the commencement of his Oxford career he had come into close relations with some of the leaders of the movement. And the conception of an historic church, endowed with mystic powers,—conveyed through an unbroken line of priests from the age of the apostles—the orderly round of vigil, fast, and festival, the secret, introspective joys of penance and confession, the fascinations of the strictly religious life as set before him in eloquent public discourse or persuasive private conversation,—had combined to kindle an imagination very insufficiently satisfied by the lean spiritual meats offered it during an Evangelical childhood and youth. Julius yielded himself up to his instructors with passionate self‐abandon. He took orders, and remained on at Oxford—being a fellow of his college—working earnestly for the cause he had so at heart. Eventually he became a member of the select band of disciples that dwelt, uncomfortably, supported by visions of reactionary reform at once austere and beneficent, in the range of disused stable‐buildings at Littlemore.
Of the storm and stress of this religious war, its triumphs, its defeats, its many agitations, Julius's diaries told with a deep, if chastened, enthusiasm. His was a singularly pure nature, unmoved by the primitive desires which usually inflame young page: 19 blood. Ideas heated him; while the lust of the eye and the pride of life left him almost scornfully cold. He strove earnestly, of course, to bring the flesh into subjection to the spirit; which was, calmly considered, a slight waste of time, since the said flesh showed the least possible inclination towards revolt. The earlier diaries contain pathetic exaggerations of the slightest indiscretion. Innocent and virtuous persons have ever been prone to such little manias of self‐accusation! Later, the flesh did assert itself, though in a hardly licentious manner. Oxford fogs and damp, along with plain living and high thinking, acting upon a constitution naturally far from robust, produced a commonplace but most disabling nemesis in the form of colds, coughs, and chronic asthma. Julius did not greatly care. He was in that exalted frame of mind in which martyrdom, even by phthisis or bronchial affections, is immeasurably preferable to no martyrdom at all. Perhaps fortunately his relations, and even his Oxford friends, took a quite other view of the matter, and insisted upon his using all legitimate means to prolong his life.
Julius left Oxford with intense regret. It was the Holy City of the Tractarian Movement; and at this moment the progress of that Movement was the one thing worth living for, if live indeed he must. He went forth bewailing his exile and enforced idleness, as a man bewails the loss of the love of his youth. For a time he travelled in Italy and in the south of France. On his return to England he went to stay with his friend and cousin, Sir Richard Calmady. Brockhurst House had always been extremely congenial to him. Its suites of handsome rooms, the inlaid, marble chimneypieces of which reach up to the frieze of the heavily‐moulded ceilings, its wide passages and stairways, their carved balusters and newel‐posts, the treasures of its library—now overflowing the capacity of the two rooms originally designed for them, and filling ranges of bookcases between the bay‐windows of the Long Gallery which runs the whole length of the first floor from east to west, the chapel in the southern wing, its richly furnished altar and the glories of its famous, stained‐glass windows—all these were very grateful to his taste. While the light, dry, upland air and near neighbourhood of the fir forest eased the physical discomforts from which, at times, he still suffered shrewdly.
He found the atmosphere of the place both soothing and steadying. And of precisely this he stood sorely in need just now. For it must be admitted that a change had come over the spirit of Julius March's great, ecclesiastical dream. Absence from Oxford and foreign travel had tended at once to widen page: 20 and modify his thought. He had seen the Tractarian Movement from a distance, in due perspective. He had also seen Catholicism at close quarters. He had realised that the logical consequence of the teaching of the former could be nothing less than unqualified submission to the latter. On his return to England he learned that more than one of his Oxford friends was arriving, reluctantly, at the same conclusion. Then there arose within him the fiercest struggle his gentle nature had ever yet known. He was torn by the desire to go forward, risking all, with those whom he reverenced; yet was restrained by a sense of honour. For there was, in Julius, a strain of obstinate, almost fanatic, loyalty. To the Anglican Church he had pledged himself. Through her ministry he had received illumination. To the work of her awakening he had given all his young enthusiasm. How then could he desert her? Her rites might be maimed. The scandal of schism might tarnish her fair fame. Accusations of sloth and lukewarmness might not unjustly be preferred against her. All this he admitted. And it was very characteristic of the man that, just because he did admit it, he remained within her fold.
Yet the decision was dislocating to all his thought, even as the struggle had been. It left him bruised. It cruelly shook his self‐confidence. For he was not one of those persons upon whom the shipwreck of long‐cherished hopes and purposes have a stimulating effect, filling them merely with a buoyant satisfaction at the opportunity afforded them of beginning all over again! Julius was oppressed by the sense of a great failure. The diaries of this period are but sorrowful reading. He believed he should go softly all his days; and, from a certain point of view, in this he was right.
And it was here that Sir Richard Calmady intervened. He had watched his cousin's struggle, had accepted its reality, sympathising through friendship rather than through moral or intellectual agreement. For he was one of those fortunate mortals who, while possessing a strong sense of God, have but small necessity to define Him. Many of Julius's keenest agonies appeared to him subjective, a matter of words and phrases. Yet he respected them, out of the sincere regard he bore the man who suffered them. He did more. He tried a practical remedy. Courteously, as one asking rather than conferring a favour, he invited Julius to remain at Brockhurst, on a fair stipend, as domestic chaplain and librarian.
"In the fulness of your generosity towards me you are creating a costly sinecure," Julius had remonstrated.page: 21
"Not in the least. I am selfishly trying to secure myself a most welcome companion, by asking you to undertake a very modest cure of souls and to catalogue my books, when you might be filling some important post and qualifying for a bishopric."
Julius had shaken his head sadly enough. "The high places of the Church are not for me," he said, "neither are her great adventures."
Thus did Julius March, somewhat broken both in health and spirit, become a carpet‐priest. The trumpet blasts of controversy reached him as echoes merely, while his days passed in peaceful, if pensive, monotony. He read prayers morning and evening to the assembled household in the chapel; reduced the confusion of the library shelves, doing a fair amount of study, both secular and theological, during the process; rode with his cousin on fine afternoons to distant farms, by high‐banked lanes in the lowland, or across the open moors; visited the lodges, or the keepers' and gardeners' cottages within the limits of the park, on foot. Now and again he took a service, or preached a sermon, for good Mr. Caryll of Sandyfield, in whose amiable mind instinctive admiration of those, even distantly, related to persons of wealth and position jostled an equally instinctive terror of Mr. March's "well‐known Romanising tendencies." And in that there was, surely, a touch of the irony of fate! Lastly, Julius did his utmost to exercise an influence for good over the twenty and odd boys at the racing stables—an unpromising generation at best, the majority of whom, he feared, accepted his efforts for their moral and spiritual welfare with the same somewhat brutish philosophy with which they accepted Tom Chifney, the trainer's rough‐and‐ready system of discipline, and the thousand and one vagaries of the fine‐limbed, queer‐tempered horses which were at once the glory and torment of their young lives.
Things had gone on thus for rather more than a year, when Richard Calmady married. Julius was perhaps inclined, beforehand, to underrate the importance of that event. He was singularly innocent, so far, of the whole question of woman. He had no sisters. At Oxford he had lived exclusively among men, while the Tractarian Movement had offered a sufficient outlet to all his emotion. The severe and exquisite verses of the "Lyra Apostolica" fitly expressed the passions of his heart. To the Church, at once his mother and his mistress, he had wholly given his first love. He had gone so far, indeed, in a rapture of devotion one Easter Day, during the celebration of page: 22 the Holy Eucharist, as to impose upon himself a vow of lifelong celibacy. This he did—let it be added—without either the sanction or knowledge of his spiritual advisers. The vow, therefore, remained unwitnessed and unratified, but he held it inviolable nevertheless. And it lay but lightly upon him, joyfully almost—rather as a ridding of himself of possible perturbations and obsessions, than as an act of most austere self‐renunciation. In his ignorance he merely went forward with an increased freedom of spirit. All of which is set down, not without underlying pathos, in the diary of that date.
And that freedom of spirit remained by him, notwithstanding his altered circumstances. It even served—indirectly, since none knew the fact of his self‐dedication save himself—as a basis of pleasant intercourse with the women of his own social standing whom he now met. It served him thus in respect of Lady Calmady, who accepted him as a member of her new household with charming kindliness, treating him with a gentle solicitude born of pity for his far from robust health and for the mental struggles which she understood him to have passed through.
Many persons, it must be owned, described Julius as remarkably ugly. But he did not strike Katherine thus. His heavy, black hair, beardless face and sallow skin—rendered dull and colourless, his features thickened, though not actually scarred, by small‐pox which he had had as a child,—his sensitive mouth, and the questioning expression of his short‐sighted, brown eyes, reminded her of a fifteenth‐century, Florentine portrait that had always challenged her attention when she passed it in the vestibule of a certain obscure, yet aristocratic, Parisian hotel, on the left bank—well understood—of the Seine.
The man of the portrait was narrow‐chested, clothed in black. So was Julius March. He had long‐fingered, finely shaped hands. So had Julius. He gave her the impression of a person endowed with a capacity of prolonged and silent self‐sacrifice. So did Julius. She wondered about his story. For Julius, at least—little as she or he then suspected it—the deepest places of the story still lay ahead.

Supercar racers James Moffat and Michael Caruso will help spearhead Nissan's bold attack on this year's V8 championship.
The pair were named this week as the drivers of Nissan Motorsport's Norton-backed Altima entries.
The pair join highly accredited brothers Todd and Rick Kelly, who will campaign in the black-and-white Jack Daniels cars.
The Altima is one of two new marques joining Holden and Ford in the series this season under the Car of the Future programme, in which newly engineered machines promise closer racing.
The second new brand lining up on the grid will be the Erebus E63 Mercedes, built as a private customer car by the manufacturer's performance arm, AMG.
The Kelly brothers formerly raced Commodores under the Kelly Racing banner before their team morphed into Nissan Motorsport when the Japanese maker announced their entry into the championship in February last year.
Rick Kelly won the Bathurst 1000 in 2003-04 with Greg Murphy and was V8 Supercar champion in 2006, while Todd paired Mark Skaife to win Bathurst in 2005.
Moffat is the son of touring car legend Allan Moffat and previously ran a Ford Falcon for Dick Johnson Racing.
Caruso is a former Australian Formula Three champion who finished third at Bathurst with Lee Holdsworth in 2009.
Nissan has a history in Australian touring car racing dating back to 1984 when George Fury took pole position for the Bathurst 1000 in a Nissan Bluebird.
The make dominated the series in the early 1990s winning the touring car title from 1990-92 and the Bathurst crown in 1991-92.
Nissan's early pace will be revealed today at the V8 Supercar official test day at Eastern Creek in Sydney.
The Altima has already completed a series of aerodynamic homologation test runs as well as circuit tests at Eastern Creek and at Winton in rural Victoria.
Moffat says he believes the car will be highly competitive, even in its inaugural season.
"I've driven the Altima a few times now and it's a serious contender," he says. "There's so
much potential there, I think the Norton team will be in very good shape this year.

Tilghman to speak at CPUC
Posted January 25, 2010; 11:19 a.m.
Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman will lead a conversation about topics on the University's agenda during the next Council of the Princeton University Community meeting on Monday, Feb. 8.
The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. in Betts Auditorium, School of Architecture, and is open to all members of the campus community. Tilghman will begin with general comments and then will take questions from the audience.
One of the fundamental reasons the CPUC was created in 1970 was to provide a direct means of communication on a regular basis between the president of the University and members of the Princeton community. The council has been effectively used over the years as a sounding board and as a channel of communication for the University.
