About Inverness crime rates
The crime rate in Inverness is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 37 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Inverness is 1 in 27. Based on FBI crime data, Inverness is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to Florida, Inverness has a crime rate that is higher than 67% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.
Importantly, when you compare Inverness to other communities of similar population, then Inverness crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Inverness does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Inverness does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Inverness.
From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Inverness occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Inverness; such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder; is 1 in 240. This equates to a rate of 4 per one thousand inhabitants.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Inverness's rate for property crime is 33 per one thousand population. This makes Inverness a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Inverness is one in 30.

Things seem to work fine, and I'm able to use the curl command to post an action on my timeline.
However, when trying to do it from the site, the popup that request for permission doesn't have the open graph action request, even though I request for publish_actions permission.
What am I missing? Do I have to publish the action first before it will show up on the referral dialog? Note that under the app setting, if I go to Auth Dialog > advanced and do "Preview Referral Dialog", the popup dialog looks correct.

Book Description:Out of deep affection and loneliness, schoolteacher Melinda Rodgers married a wealthy older man. Now a widow at twenty-nine, she is stunned to learn that his will requires her to set up a foundation and remarry within the year—or lose her inheritance to a charity of Blake Hunter's choice. a charity of Blake Hunter s choice.As executor of the will, handsome, no-nonsense Blake insists that Melinda carry out the terms of her inheritance to the letter. But she would rather give up the entire fortune than marry again for anything other than love. And judging by the dangerous, unfulfilled yearning that has simmered between the two of them for years, Blake may be the man who can bring her the deepest, most passionate kind of love…or the most heartbreaking betrayal of all.

Ambient P Stretch EP
Released 16/05/2011
Brendan Angelides aka Eskmo returns with a new EP following up on his critically-acclaimed and debut album for Ninja, this time he's invited his friends.
The original version of "We Got More" (currently tearing up YouTube with almost half a million hits for the Cyriak-directed visuals) is like the evil twin of 80s electro, an epic piece of deadpan with an acid drop of melody. First remix comes from Throwing Snow, the debut artist on the hotly tipped Ho Tep label, who offers some dubstep influenced two-step. Kilon TeK (who won Ninja Tune's Ape School remix competition) opt for a punishing, brutal space-church headnodder. Dundee's Loops Haunt then pulls the whole thing to pieces and turns it into a huge fight in a hall of mirrors.
"Moving Glowstream" is reconfigured by Eskmo ally Amon Tobin. Amon brings some of the aesthetic breakthroughs of his forthcoming "ISAM" album to bear on the tune's structures. Labelmate Slugabed gives the tune the melodic presence of a manga soundtrack. Newcomer Savile turns it into a sparse, dubbed out house number. All of them somehow keep some of Eskmo's own unique character.

Just How Dumb and Damaging?
How dumb and damaging was President's Obama speech on the Middle East?
1. Just when everyone was focusing on how Arab states could get their internal politics in order, Obama shifts the attention back to Israel.
2. Just when everyone was focusing concern about the role of Hamas and Iran in shaping the future of Palestinians, Obama shifts the attention back to what Israel has to do.
3. Just when the addition of Hamas was undermining the case for the UN "approving" of a Palestinian state based on pre-1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital, Obama legitimizes the effort to go to the UN by unilaterally supporting the 1949 borders, which happen not to include East Jerusalem.
4. By defining Israel's position about borders (like its position on settlements) as a sign of obstructionism, Obama shifts more responsibility and pressure on Israel, giving the Palestinians another in a series of Obama-manufactured free passes.
5. By coming out in favor of pre-'67 borders Obama has undermined Israel's ability to resolve Jerusalem. And by talking about "the fate of Palestinian refugees" as if this were something that took place today as opposed to 64 years ago as a result of an Arab rejection of the pre-'67 border, Obama has given this grievance more leverage and new life.
6. By making his speech all about Israel (with promises to finance shopping malls and graduate school education in Arab countries), Obama ceded diplomatic control over the Middle East to countries that would be happier if Israel disappeared. (That's called leading from behind.)
7. By telling -- the day before his speech -- Eli Wiesel and others that America's commitment to Israel is unshakeable and sending his Deputy Secretary of State Jamie Steinberg to tell Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister that Israel shouldn't worry about Obama's speech, the President has once again demonstrated his rare talent for mendacity and his belief that this signal characteristic of his presidency can be forgiven because of how "transformational" he is.
8. By all these actions and pretensions, Obama has, as Chamberlain and Europe with Czechoslovakia, delivered a nation it called a friend and ally into the hands of its enemies.

Congregation Ale House
Long Beach, CA 90802
- Daily 11am-1:30am
LA Weekly's Description
Congregation, which is part of a mini chain of beer bars with other chapters in Azusa and Pasadena, has a church theme; but its done with just enough tongue-in-cheekiness it bypasses blasphemy and becomes nothing more than good-natured satire. A collection plate next to the register is actually the tip jar. Happy Hours are called Mass, with a late-night one called Midnight Mass. And flitting about the room in fetishistic Catholic-schoolgirl uniforms with pleated skirts hitched up scandalously far above the knee are servers wholl offer to top off your soda. But if its water you want, you get it yourself at a Holy Water station. Religious kidding aside, Congregation is all business everywhere else. Its downright liturgical in charging only $7 to $8 for the holy trinity of foods that go well with beer: sausage sandwiches, burgers and pizza. This place understands that people who are willing to queue up to order food in a bar like this arent interested in anything fancier than what they can hold in their hands or eat with their fingers.
Member Reviews
Tips from foursquare

State status avoids
real issues
Does the United Nations upgrading of Palestine's status to a "non-member state" really have any effect on the current Israeli-Palestinian peace process?
Some people argue that it has no effect because Palestine still does not have the authority to vote or even speak in the United Nations. They say that the only way a change in Palestine's status would matter was if Israel reached terms with Palestinians on a two-state solution to their problems.
Interestingly enough, the problem has actually been broadened and intensified by the U.N.'s decision. The parades and dances in the streets of Palestine prove that this decision has changed the situation. Giving Palestine what seems to be an elevation of power recognizes the fact that the world supports it. It gives Palestinians more reason to oppose Israel.
With this expression of U.N support, they now can oppose an agreement with Israel. The United States anticipated this problem and tried to deny what might be considered ratification of Palestinian statehood.
This General Assembly vote, although it did not change anything politically for most people, had huge implications in complicating the peace process between Israel and Palestine.

Is your new mobile app headed for a big payday? Apptopia has a new feature that can help you find out.
Is your new mobile app headed for a big payday? Apptopia has a new feature that can help you find out.
Not every app developer can be a Nick D'Aloisio, but most would love to have at least some idea whether their app is going to make any money.
Apptopia, a 1-year-old app marketplace, has apparently found a "secret formula" to predicting the success or failure of a proposed app concept. As of this morning, the platform offers 6-month revenue projection, revenue breakdown, and a sentiment analysis (what users are saying about the app).
Apptopia's valuations for five "top apps" range from $11.4 million (for Angry Birds challenger Tiny Wings) to $41.2 million (for the game Temple Run). The average projected 6-month revenue for the quintet, according to a Mashableinfographic, is $5.64 million.
Of nearly 2 million apps out there (combining estimated totals for Google Play/Android, Apple, Windows Phone Marketplace, and Blackberry World), a whopping 59 percent don't generate enough revenue to break even on development costs, according to a developer survey from marketing company App Promo, and 68 percent earned $5,000 or less with their most successful app.
An app worth $30 million to giants like Yahoo, in other words, are hardly the norm.
Apptopia, founded in late 2011, also announced Wednesday that it has topped $1 million in sales over the course of the last year and that $850,000 of that has been paid out to developers, Mashable reported.

Most people look to a new year as a fresh start. Jan. 1 signals a time when changes, improvements and goals can be put into motion.
One of the most common resolutions made every year: financial betterment. People want to pay off debt, save money, and be able to be free to do what they want without having to think about their bank accounts. Getting started with a task like this often the hardest part, but here is a little guidance to get those financial dreams on the path to reality.
Having a financial cushion in case of emergencies should be priority one, if this fund hasn't already been established. According to financialplan.about.com, financial experts suggest three to six months of living expenses be saved in an emergency fund. However, getting anything socked away is more important in the beginning, especially if debt payments are a part your financial landscape. Simply put whatever seems reasonable for your budget into a savings account, and don't touch it.
Dave Ramsey is a well-known financial expert, and his book, "The Total Money Makeover," discusses establishing an emergency fund prior to making any other changes; consult this title for more information on this topic.
Debt reduction will go a long way to increasing take-home pay and padding that emergency fund. Paying down debt can be a long, arduous task, but once it's done the freedom and money gained will be all the encouragement needed to keep oneself out of future debt. Having savings is important, but it will be difficult to acquire if an entire month's pay must go toward credit card and loan payments. Search the Internet or financial planning books to find a debt payment plan that could work for your situation. To learn more about debt reduction and how to get started, check out "Debt-Free Forever: Take Control of Your Money and Your Life" by Gail Vaz-Oxlade.
Finally, learning to be frugal can put some extra money in your pocket in 2013. Starting simply with homemade coffee and sack lunches can save a few extra dollars each week. Once those habits become automatic, larger frugal changes can be made to maximize your money. Don't ever pay someone for something that could be a do-it-yourself project, like an oil change. Clipping coupons and searching out freebies can take time but reap financial rewards. And don't forget the library. Free access to books, movies, music, the Internet, and events are all at your fingertips with a library card. Check out kckpl.org to find a location near you.
Financial resolutions can be difficult to implement, but well worth the effort. Start educating yourself by checking out personal finance materials from the library and reading reputable websites like getrichslowly.org. If you want to learn more or need further assistance, contact a certified financial planner for more information.

Britthaven, Inc. and its successor, Principle Long Term Care, Inc., operators of a nursing and rehabilitation center, will pay $50,000 to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). According to the EEOC's lawsuit, after being diagnosed with breast cancer, Nicky Thomas, a cook at Britthaven, informed her supervisor of her diagnosis and treatment plan. Subsequently, Thomas needed to take medical leave so that she could undergo surgery to treat her breast cancer. The EEOC charged that Thomas submitted a doctor's note to her supervisor, stating that Thomas was required to take leave due to her medical condition. However, Thomas was allegedly informed that her request for medical leave had been denied and that she was being terminated for failing to report to work. Read More.

Regions Financial Corporation, doing business as Regions Bank, will pay $95,000 and provide injunctive relief to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC had charged that Regions failed to provide a reasonable accommodation for a former employee's disability and discharged her because of her age. According to the EEOC's lawsuit, Regions refused a branch manager's request for reasonable accommodation - a demotion to a less stressful and demanding position because of a physical disability. Subsequently, according to the EEOC, Regions began treating the 61-year old manager less favorably than younger managers and fired her because of her age. The EEOC stated the branch manager had worked for Regions Bank's predecessor for more than 30 years and for Regions Bank since 2005. Read More.
Jury Finds Company Failed to Hire Legally Blind Applicant

In a disability lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), a federal court has ordered Beverage Distributors Company (BDC) to pay approximately $200,000 and hire a worker to a position the worker had been denied, allegedly because of his impaired eyesight. According to the EEOC, Mike Sungaila, who is legally blind, worked for BDC for over four years as a driver's helper. The company decided to eliminate his position and instead use contract laborers. Sungaila then applied for a position as a night warehouse loader. BDC offered Sungaila the position subject to a pre-employment physical. However, following the medical examination, BDC withdrew the job offer, allegedly because the company believed Sungaila could not safely perform the position, which involves loading cases of liquor and kegs of beer into the back of trucks. The EEOC contended, however, that Sungaila could safely perform the job, and filed suit after first attempting to reach a settlement. Read More.

The Food Farmacy, Ltd. and J&T Enterprises, LLC, doing business as Foodworks, a chain of grocery stores in Connecticut, will pay $25,000 and furnish other relief to settle a disability discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). According to the EEOC's suit, Foodworks allegedly asked disability-related questions of a class of applicants before offering them jobs. The questions included "Do you have any health problems?" on applications and asking applicants in interviews whether they had any health/ physical problems; whether they were on any medications; and if so, which medications. The EEOC also alleged that when an employee with epilepsy had a seizure at work, Foodworks fired the employee a few days after the seizure, despite the employee having performed his job successfully and presenting medical documentation indicating he was capable of returning to his normal work day.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) filed suit against Direct Optical, Inc., a Michigan eyewear retailer, for allegedly discriminating against an optician because of her disabilities. The EEOC has charged that Direct Optical discriminated against Laurel Miller because of her disabilities -- generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder -- when it denied her request to use her service dog at work. The complaint further alleges that Direct Optical terminated Miller because of her disability (including for minor performance issues that her service dog could have prevented), and in retaliation for her accommodation request. The EEOC is seeking injunctive relief prohibiting Direct Optical from discriminating against other employees with disabilities; equitable relief that provides equal opportunities for qualified employees with disabilities; lost wages; compensatory and punitive damages; and other relief.

Thanks for coming to our party
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Thanks to everybody who showed up for our Tweet-up / baseball party in Fort Myers after the game today.
We had a roomful of folks from Florida, all across New England and even California and Tennessee.
It was a lot of fun to meet so many of you (even the guy who showed up in the Yankees shirt) and talk some baseball.
I think the marketing folks might hold some more events here before camp ends and we'll definitely do some in Boston. Details will be forthcoming.
It also would be great to have something in New York City for all the transplanted Red Sox fans there. Let know if you're interested and we'll arrange for something at Foley's one night during the season.
Anyway, thanks again to everybody who showed up. Nick says thanks, too. We had fun.

Pegging BP's favorites in both leagues, both in the standings and for the major awards. Today we reveal the Baseball Prospectus staff predictions for the division standings and the major player awards (MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year) in the American and National Leagues. Each staff member's division standings predictions may be found later in the article. Here, we present a wisdom-of-the-crowds summary of the results. In each table you'll find the average rank of each team in their division with first-place votes in parentheses, plus the results of our pre-season MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year voting. For the MVP voting, we've slightly amended the traditional points system in place that has been used elsewhere, dropping fourth- and fifth-place votes to make it 10-7-5 for the MVP Award, and the regular 5-3-1 for the Cy Young and Rookie of the Year Awards (that's 5 points for a first-place vote, 3 points for a second-place vote, etc.). Next to each of these selections we've listed the total number of ballots, followed by the total number of points, and then the number of first-place votes in parentheses, if any were received.

Jason took part in a slow mock draft with other fantasy experts and is now here to share what he learned from the experience. I recently had the pleasure of doing a slow—and I mean slow—mock draft over the past four weeks with a few of my friends and colleagues in the fantasy baseball industry. That group included most of the mlb.com folks, Fernando DiFino, and the legendary Joe Sheehan. The draft started on February 17 and survived a few lost weekends, DiFino's nuptials (congrats!) and several copy and paste issues from some of us that are still using not-so-smartphones.

The chances of someone leading the league in batting avearge, homers, and RBI have grown long in just a week. Over the last two weeks I have utilized a neat simulation I built in order to assess the likelihood that a Triple Crown occurs this year. Simulations are the best way to make such a determination, as the three stats involved—batting average, home runs, and RBI—are intertwined. They might not always be connected, but it is more accurate to operate under this assumption than it is to multiply together the probabilities that a player leads the league in each category. When I ran through the rest of the season 10,000 times back on September 1, the feat was only achieved 777 times even though Albert Pujols and Joey Votto ranked either first or second in all three categories. Pujols won the Triple Crown in a whopping 663 of those 777 seasons, suggesting that the feat was unlikely to be achieved, but that Prince Albert was the heavy favorite.

Someone has replaced Prince Albert as the most likely to make history. As September kicks into gear and the playoff races begin to heat up, another race is piquing the attention of a large population of baseball fans. The difference is that the race to which I am alluding is not assured of producing a winner. In fact, it has not produced a winner since 1967, when Carl Yasztremski led the American League on the mighty triumvirate of batting average, home runs, and runs batted in. Leading the league in each of these categories in the same season is referred to as the Triple Crown, and for the first time in quite a while, there exists a strong possibility that the feat will be achieved. Say what you will about the relative merits of the batting average and RBI stats, but cliché saber-oriented rants aside, leading the league in all three is incredibly impressive.

A look at the surprise home run hitters of 2010, relative to their pre-season PECOTA forecasts. On Tuesday night in Kansas City, Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista launched his major league-leading 26th home run, continuing one of the most unexpected power surges in recent memory. Long known as a journeyman with decent patience and a modicum of power, few expected Bautista at this stage of his career to suddenly turn into a long-ball machine. It's always fun to see players suddenly show a propensity for the long ball—perhaps we identify with players who manage the baseball equivalent of the young Marty McFly balling up his fist and decking Biff with an unexpected haymaker.

Why hand out a capital 'C' when you can find better ways to rack up a few W's? I wasn't a real big fan of Ryan Franklin making the All-Star team, because I see his microscopic ERA as a small-sample fluke out of step with the rest of his career. The number is helped along by good fortune on two numbers-batting average on balls in play, and home runs per fly ball-that tend to bounce around and reflect luck more than skill. He has a bunch of saves because a couple of pitchers, each with stronger skill sets, either pitched poorly or were never given a full chance before the job fell to him. He's certainly qualified by the established standards, but he's far from the best available option even if we just look at short relievers.

As we've mentioned before on this site, each month of the year is traditionally dedicated to a specific devotion. January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus.
It's easy to see how early Christians came to attach a great spiritual value on the very name of our Lord. In his letter to the Philippians, after all, St. Paul writes: "...God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bend ... and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord" (Phil 2:9-11).
Names are important. They are not simply labels for a person; they are a verbal image of the person. Jesus' name, especially, is sacred. Sacred Scripture is full of examples of how the name of our Lord is powerful and effective. It is more than appropriate to honor and revere his name, for it is holy.
It is long-standing custom to bow one's head whenever the name of Jesus is uttered. In fact, Catholics are specifically instructed to bow our heads at every mention of Jesus' name during the Mass (as well as at the names of the Holy Trinity, Our Lady and the Saint being celebrated in that particular Mass).
The General Instructions of the Roman Missal (GIRM) (which you can read online here) clearly states:
"A bow signifies reverence and honor shown to the persons themselves or to the signs that represent them. There are two kinds of bow: a bow of the head and a bow of the body.
a) A bow of the head is made when the three Divine Persons are named together and at the names of Jesus, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and of the Saint in whose honor Mass is being celebrated." (GIRM, No. 275)
St. Bernadine of Siena (d. 1444) |
Today, it is common to see the monogram that Sts. Bernadine and John of Capistrano promoted used in Church artwork or as a decorative motif in churches and on sacred vestments. This monogram is comprised of three letters: IHS. These correspond to a Latinization of the first three letters in the Greek version of Jesus' name: IHSOYS (sometimes, it is written IHC, because C and S are interchangeable). So, this monogram is basically an abbreviation of Jesus' name.
There are other monograms associated with our Lord as well. Another well-known example is sometimes called the Christogram - a symbol where the Greek letters Chi (X) and Rho (P) are interposed on one another. This symbol is known as the "Chi Rho" (real original, huh?), and it is an ancient abbreviation for the Greek title "Christos,"or Christ. Chi and Rho are the first two letters in the spelling of this word. The Chi Rho has been used by Christians since the early centuries of the Church and it was adopted by the Roman Emperor Constantine as a symbol of his Christian faith and a symbol of the Empire. He had his soldiers paint the Chi Rho on their shields before battle and used it on the coinage that he minted, as did other Roman Emperors during the fourth through seventh centuries.
My challenge to you today is to take on a brand new New Year's resolution: honor the name of Jesus. How can you do this? Well, here are three easy tips:
1) During Mass, bow your head each time Jesus' name is uttered. Yep - every time. As we pointed out above, this isn't just a pious custom, it is actually one of the instructions for the faithful during Mass. So, not only will you actually be following what the Church asks us to do, you will actually start to develop a sensitivity to the gravity and power of our Lord's holy name.
2) If you use the Lord's name in vain, stop. Whether it's used nonchalantly or even as a curse word, we are not to use the Lord's name in vain. Be deliberate with your use of the Holy Name. If you're in a bad habit of blaspheming by cussing with Jesus' name, ask for God's help to stop.
3) Work on coming to an internal reverence for Jesus' name - whenever and wherever it is spoken. Jesus name literally means "God saves." Think about that for a moment. God saves. Whenever we say the name of our Lord with reverence and begin to consciously honor his name, we reaffirm the divine truth that in Jesus, God saves. That's pretty powerful stuff. There was a time when Catholic men would remove their hats and all Catholics would bow there heads whenever Jesus' name was spoken - anywhere and everywhere. When his name was taken in vain, Catholics in the room would cross themselves and mutter a silent prayer ("Blessed be the name of the Lord!"). Pious actions such as these can influence our faith over time - and can influence the faith of others who witness them.
Finally, in honor of the Holy Name of Jesus, try praying the Litany of the Holy Name today.
So, what's in a name (or a symbol)? Power. Blessing. Truth.
Blessed be the name of the Lord! Now and forever!

Though she has been working steadily most of her adult life, Connie Britton didn't become a household name until she became the coach's wife in the film and TV adaptations of "Friday night Lights" in 2004 and 2006 respectively. She followed up her Emmy-nominated role with a stint on the first season of "American Horror Story" in 2011 (also earned her an Emmy nod) and the currently airing musical nighttime soap "Nashville". While she wrote plays and did some local theater, she left her home in Lynchburg, Va., where she moved at 7 with her fraternal twin Cynthia, she studied Asian studies at Dartmouth and learned to speak Chinese while living in Beijing. Post-college she gravitated back to boards and spent two years training with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse. She worked in off-Broadway shows before landing a part in Ed Burns' seminal 1995 indie "The Brothers McMullen". After losing a pat in Jerry Maguire to Renee Zellweger, she found parts on "24", "The West Wing" and "Spin City". "Nashville", which debuted in 2012 and showcases her singing voice each week, earned her Best Actress Golden Globe and Emmy nominations. She plays the doting wife on TV, but in real life she divorced investment banker John Britton after less than four years. She has however found happiness as a mom. She adopted son Eyob from Ethiopia in 2011.

Quinces are deeply misunderstood. I suspect that kilos and kilos rot under their trees each year as people don't know what to do with them.
Well I've got news for you - there is more to life than quince jelly. This recipe shows of the unique texture of the fruit and ends up with a beautiful aromatic liqueur which also makes a great ice cream base (more on that later).
I am giving you the choice of using a low oven or a slow cooker. The latter is certainly more economical. You may also find that your oven has an auto cut-out after 6 hours or so so keep an eye on it. I've never tried the oven method but I've eaten the result and it is equally sublime.
Serves 4
4 quinces
a bottle of white wine
250ml water
400g sugar
2 cinnamon sticks
2 bay leaves
2 cloves
2 star anise
200g mascarpone or greek yogurt
bay leaves for serving
Heat the oven to 100c (gas mark 1/4) or warm your slow cooker up. Combine the wine, water, sugar and aromatics in a heatproof, ovenproof lidded dish (or a large pan if using a slow cooker) and bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved.
Scrub the quinces, peel them (reserving the peelings) and cut in half lengthways. If oven baking, add to the liquid-filled oven dish immediately with the peelings and transfer to the oven. If using a slow cooker, add the liquid, quinces and peelings to the cooker and set it to low.
Oven bake for 8 hours or slow cook for 10 hours. Over this time the cooking liquor will develop a deep red colour and your entire home will be filled with a glorious smell of Christmas. Once cooked leave to cool, strain out and discard the aromatics and peelings and serve the fruit with their juice, a dollop of mascarpone or greek yoghurt and a bay leaf to garnish.
Notes for gluttons
The cooked quinces keep for up to a week in the fridge so don't be shy, double up the quantities! Unless you guzzle it in a glass, you will have spare cooking liqueur when you have eaten the quinces. This can be reduced and used to flavour a delicious mild ice cream. I'll try and post it soon.

A California state government agency's proposal to enact an overflight restriction within state wilderness, cultural, and natural preserves usurps the FAA's ability to regulate airspace and provides no mechanisms for ascertaining aircraft altitudes, enforcement, or pilot notification of the location of restrictions, AOPA said in a formal response.
The proposed rule states that "there shall be no use of motorized vehicles, motorized equipment, or motorboats, no landing or hovering of aircraft, no flying of aircraft lower than 2,000 feet above the ground" in affected areas.
Pilots already "fly friendly," avoiding altitudes below 2,000 feet agl over sensitive areas, and the proposal fails to address the impact on airports within preserve boundaries, AOPA said in comments opposing the California Department of Parks and Recreation's notice of proposed rulemaking.
"General aviation pilots already voluntarily follow guidance contained in the FAA's Advisory Circular (AC) 91-36D, Visual Flight Rules (VFR) Flights Near Noise Sensitive Areas," wrote Tom Kramer, AOPA manager of airspace and modernization. "This AC provides guidance to pilots for avoiding flight operations below 2,000 feet in noise sensitive areas such as wildlife refuges and nature preserves, something General Aviation pilots are typically very good at ensuring in order to be good neighbors."
Citing the rule's unknown effects, implications, and conflict with FAA jurisdiction over airspace, AOPA strongly urged California officials to rescind the proposed rule and instead "work collaboratively with the FAA" to educate pilots about overflights of sensitive areas.

Garmin has announced an upgrade making new features and options available to operators of G1000-equipped King Airs in the 200/250/300/350 series.
With a closing speed of about 900 knots, Air Force pilots on a training mission have seconds to aim and shoot heat-seeking and radar guided missiles at a drone target. Their success came from repeated rehearsals. But as author Larry Brown writes, "there is nothing like the real thing to gain experience."
The GAO released its report "Aviation Workforce: Current and Future Availability of Airline Pilots," and general aviation has a strong interest in its findings.
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.

A Large-Scale Genetic Association Study Confirms IL12B and Leads to the Identification of IL23R as Psoriasis-Risk Genes The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 80, Issue 2, 1 February 2007, Pages 273-290 Michele Cargill, Steven J. Schrodi, Monica Chang, Veronica E. Garcia, Rhonda Brandon, Kristina P. Callis, Nori Matsunami, Kristin G. Ardlie, Daniel Civello, Joseph J. Catanese, Diane U. Leong, Jackie M. Panko, Linda B. McAllister, Christopher B. Hansen, Jason Papenfuss, Stephen M. Prescott, Thomas J. White, Mark F. Leppert, Gerald G. Krueger and Ann B. Begovich Abstract We performed a multitiered, case-control association study of psoriasis in three independent sample sets of white North American individuals (1,446 cases and 1,432 controls) with 25,215 genecentric single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and found a highly significant association with an IL12B 3′-untranslated-region SNP (rs3212227), confirming the results of a small Japanese study. This SNP was significant in all three sample sets (odds ratio [OR]common 0.64, combined P [Pcomb]=7.85×10−10). A Monte Carlo simulation to address multiple testing suggests that this association is not a type I error. The coding regions of IL12B were resequenced in 96 individuals with psoriasis, and 30 additional IL12B-region SNPs were genotyped. Haplotypes were estimated, and genotype-conditioned analyses identified a second risk allele (rs6887695) located ∼60 kb upstream of the IL12B coding region that exhibited association with psoriasis after adjustment for rs3212227. Together, these two SNPs mark a common IL12B risk haplotype (ORcommon 1.40, Pcomb=8.11×10−9) and a less frequent protective haplotype (ORcommon 0.58, Pcomb=5.65×10−12), which were statistically significant in all three studies. Since IL12B encodes the common IL-12p40 subunit of IL-12 and IL-23, we individually genotyped 17 SNPs in the genes encoding the other chains of these cytokines (IL12A and IL23A) and their receptors (IL12RB1, IL12RB2, and IL23R). Haplotype analyses identified two IL23R missense SNPs that together mark a common psoriasis-associated haplotype in all three studies (ORcommon 1.44, Pcomb=3.13×10−6). Individuals homozygous for both the IL12B and the IL23R predisposing haplotypes have an increased risk of disease (ORcommon 1.66, Pcomb=1.33×10−8). These data, and the previous observation that administration of an antibody specific for the IL-12p40 subunit to patients with psoriasis is highly efficacious, suggest that these genes play a fundamental role in psoriasis pathogenesis.

Genome-wide Association Analysis Identifies PDE4D as an Asthma-Susceptibility Gene The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 84, Issue 5, 15 May 2009, Pages 581-593 Blanca E. Himes, Gary M. Hunninghake, James W. Baurley, Nicholas M. Rafaels, Patrick Sleiman, David P. Strachan, Jemma B. Wilk, Saffron A.G. Willis-Owen, Barbara Klanderman, Jessica Lasky-Su, Ross Lazarus, Amy J. Murphy, Manuel E. Soto-Quiros, Lydiana Avila, Terri Beaty, Rasika A. Mathias, Ingo Ruczinski, Kathleen C. Barnes, Juan C. Celedón, William O.C. Cookson, W. James Gauderman, Frank D. Gilliland, Hakon Hakonarson, Christoph Lange, Miriam F. Moffatt, George T. O'Connor, Benjamin A. Raby, Edwin K. Silverman and Scott T. Weiss Abstract Asthma, a chronic airway disease with known heritability, affects more than 300 million people around the world. A genome-wide association (GWA) study of asthma with 359 cases from the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) and 846 genetically matched controls from the Illumina ICONdb public resource was performed. The strongest region of association seen was on chromosome 5q12 in PDE4D. The phosphodiesterase 4D, cAMP-specific (phosphodiesterase E3 dunce homolog, Drosophila) gene (PDE4D) is a regulator of airway smooth-muscle contractility, and PDE4 inhibitors have been developed as medications for asthma. Allelic p values for top SNPs in this region were 4.3 × 10−07 for rs1588265 and 9.7 × 10−07 for rs1544791. Replications were investigated in ten independent populations with different ethnicities, study designs, and definitions of asthma. In seven white and Hispanic replication populations, two PDE4D SNPs had significant results with p values less than 0.05, and five had results in the same direction as the original population but had p values greater than 0.05. Combined p values for 18,891 white and Hispanic individuals (4,342 cases) in our replication populations were 4.1 × 10−04 for rs1588265 and 9.2 × 10−04 for rs1544791. In three black replication populations, which had different linkage disequilibrium patterns than the other populations, original findings were not replicated. Further study of PDE4D variants might lead to improved understanding of the role of PDE4D in asthma pathophysiology and the efficacy of PDE4 inhibitor medications.

A Genomewide Search for Quantitative-Trait Loci Underlying Asthma The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 69, Issue 6, 1 December 2001, Pages 1271-1277 Xin Xu, Zhian Fang, Binyan Wang, Changzhong Chen, Wenwei Guang, Yongtang Jin, Jianghua Yang, Steve Lewitzky, Avram Aelony, Alex Parker, Joanne Meyer, Scott T. Weiss and Xiping Xu Abstract A genomewide screen for quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) that underlie asthma was performed on 533 Chinese families with asthma, by the unified Haseman-Elston method. Nine asthma-related phenotypes were studied, including forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), airway responsiveness as indicated by methacholine (MTCH)-challenge test, serum total immunoglobulin E (TIgE), serum-specific immunoglobulin E, eosinophil count in peripheral blood, and skin-prick tests with three different allergens (cockroach, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, and D. farinae). Our study showed significant linkage between airway responsiveness to MTCH and D2S1780 on chromosome 2 (P<.00002) and provided suggestive evidence (P<.002) for six additional possible QTLs: D10S1435 and D22S685, for FEV1; D16S412, for FVC; D19S433, for airway responsiveness to MTCH; D1S518, for TIgE; and D4S1647, for skin reactivity to cockroach. No significant or suggestive evidence of linkage for the other four traits was found. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (151 kb) |

The IL12B gene on chromosome 5q31-33 encodes the p40 subunit of interleukin 12, an immunomodulatory cytokine. To test the hypothesis that the IL12B gene contains polymorphisms associated with asthma, we genotyped six haplotype-tagging polymorphisms in the IL12B gene, both in 708 children enrolled in the Childhood Asthma Management Program (CAMP) and in their parents. Using the family-based association test (FBAT) program and its haplotype (HBAT) and phenotype (PBAT) options, we tested each polymorphism and haplotype for association with asthma and asthma-related phenotypes. We tested positive associations for replication in a case-control study comparing 177 adult moderate-to-severe asthmatics with 177 nonasthmatic controls. In whites in the CAMP cohort, the A allele of the IL12B G4237A polymorphism was undertransmitted to asthmatic children (P=.0008, recessive model), the global test for haplotypes for affection status was positive (P=.009, multiallelic χ2), and two polymorphisms were associated with different atopy phenotypes. In addition, we found a strong association between the IL12B_4237 and IL12B_6402 polymorphisms and an asthma-severity phenotype in whites, which we also found in the independent population of white adult asthmatics. IL12B may be an important asthma gene.

There have been a LOT of recent discussions of problems with mavericks
this situation is back in full force with both CC and CS6 apps on the mac with thunderbolt drives and Mavericks. The finder dialogue box crashes, REGARDLESS of list or icon view setting, AND being sure that no finder window is using coverflow or tabs. Right now, both suites are non-functional on rMBP 2.8ghz Retina, 16gb ram 650m. It doesn't seem to matter whether I'm selecting SSD, raid drive or attached USB 3.0 drive.
The dialogue crashes when trying to select another drive or folder within a drive either in import, or preferences. After it crashes the preference window is unavailable, the quit menu grayed out forcing a force quit.
Hope they can fix, would love to use the products again.
I took the Lacie Thundebolt esata hub out of the chaing then repatched the drives so that they don't come from the thunderbolt daisy change patch on the back of the thunderbolt display and the issue isn't happening. The Adobe Suites are the only apps that were having the issue.
So This config works: MBP TB1--->Lacie Raid Drives Then MBP TB2-->TBolt Display->BM Ultrastudio Express
This does not work with Adobe MBP TB1-->TBolt Display --->Thunderbolt Drives MBP TB2--->either T-Tap or MB Ultrastudio Express
Of course, now the problem is that the video cards must be connected either from the back of the Thunderbolt display or the end of the drive daisy chain. The drag would be for those having only one T-bolt port on the MBP.
