The main objectives of the study are:
1. To unravel the importance of molecular phenotyping in predicting the response to classical anti-asthma treatment (leukotriene antagonists)
The investigators have developed a non-invasive technique based on mRNA analysis of induced sputum that enables us to study airway inflammation in detail. This technique forms the basis for our current project based on the following hypotheses:
- Different molecular asthma phenotypes exist: a Th2 phenotype and a non Th2 phenotype as reported by Woodruff and colleagues (Woodruff PG et al). Sputum mRNA cytokine levels can be used to diagnose Th2 asthma and discriminate this from non-Th2 asthma.
- Based on our previous research and preliminary data that non-Th2 asthma can be further divided in Th17 asthma and Th1+Th2 asthma; besides these, a fourth group without Th2, Th17 or Th1 characteristics also exist.
- These subgroups have different responses to anti-leukotrienes.

Access "Snapshot: Ediscovery confidence dips from last year"
This article is part of the Vol. 6 No. 9 November 2007 issue of RAID turns 20: Do you still need it?
Ediscovery requests continue to rise. Sixty-three percent of our survey respondents have been asked to perform a legal or compliance request--up from 57% one year ago. And backup tape continues to be the most likely place the data can be found. Seventy-three percent of respondents recovered requested data from tape, while 29% found the data on backup disk. Only 9% relied on an outside source for ediscovery. Meanwhile, 47% of those surveyed say they're only "somewhat confident" that they could meet ediscovery requests, while 10% are "not at all confident." Despite those shaky confidence reports, 64% of respondents also report that they haven't made any technology purchases specifically for ediscovery. --Andrew Burton Access >>>

Where encryption fits best
by Jerome M. Wendt and Joshua Konkle
Everybody knows they should encrypt tapes that go offsite, but many are still on the fence about where encryption should occur in their storage environments. There are a number of options, ranging from using your backup app's encryption capabilities to installing a purpose-built encryption appliance. We weigh the pros and cons of the available alternatives so that you can decide which approach best suits your shop.

Far Hills, N.J. – The United States Golf Association today announced Del Paso Country Club, in Sacramento, Calif., as the host site for the 2015 U.S. Senior Open Championship. This will be the fifth USGA championship held at Del Paso Country Club. The dates of the championship are June 25-28.
"The USGA is pleased to continue its friendship with Del Paso Country Club and the community of Sacramento," said USGA Vice President and Championship Committee Chairman Thomas J. O'Toole Jr. "Del Paso and Sacramento have embraced the spirit of this national championship and will be great partners with the USGA in producing what we are confident will be a successful championship and community event."
The most recent USGA championship at Del Paso was the 1982 U.S. Women's Open, when Janet Alex won by six strokes for her first professional victory. Del Paso has also twice hosted the U.S. Women's Amateur. In 1957, JoAnne Gunderson Carner, at age 18, won the second of her eight USGA championships by defeating Anne Casey Johnstone, 8 and 6. In 1976, Donna Horton posted a 2-and-1 victory over Marianne Bretton. Del Paso also hosted the 1964 USGA Senior Women's Amateur, with Loma Smith capturing the first of her back-to-back titles by one stroke.
"Del Paso Country Club is very pleased to bring the 2015 U.S. Senior Open Championship to our club and the greater Sacramento community," said Dan Spector, 2015 Senior Open championship chairman and past president of club. "We look forward to hosting this prestigious championship and sharing with the rest of the world the club and community of which we are so very proud."
Del Paso Country Club was founded in 1916 on property that was part of the original Rancho Del Paso, a historic 44,000-acre area used by 19th-century settlers as a pathway through the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The course, which is located 10 miles northeast of downtown Sacramento, was designed by Scotsman John L. Black. It was redesigned and renovated by architect Kyle Phillips in 2006.
The U.S. Senior Open Championship was first played in 1980. The championship is open to any professional and amateur golfer 50 years of age with a USGA Handicap Index® not exceeding 3.4. In 2012, the U.S. Senior Open Championship will be played at Indianwood Golf & Country Club, in Lake Orion, Mich., from July 12-15. The 2013 championship will be played July 11-14 at Omaha (Neb.) Country Club, and the 2014 championship will be played July 10-13 at Oak Tree National Club in Edmond, Okla.

By Melissa Dittmann Tracey, REALTOR® Magazine
Kitchens and bathrooms remain the top jobs home owners are taking on in remodeling projects, according to a new survey by the National Association of Home Builders.
The top remodeling projects of home owners, according to the latest survey of remodelers, are:
1. Bathrooms
2. Kitchens
3. Window/door replacements
4. Whole house remodels
5. Room additions
6. Handyman services
The report's finding of the main motivation behind home owners' decision to remodel is not too surprising: To repair and replace old components and to upgrade amenities.
But more than 20 percent of remodelers surveyed said they've been noticing a drop in the number of customers who are remodeling to try to increase their home's value.
The survey is yet another indication that more home owners are happy staying put–at least for now–and instead are looking at how to enhance what they already have.
Nearly half of the remodelers surveyed said they've been seeing an increase over the last year in the number of home owners who are undertaking remodeling projects so they can avoid moving.
"Home owners are repurposing spaces and making more efficient use of their home's square footage," says NAHB Remodelers Chairman George "Geep" Moore Jr. "Whether it be young families or couples aging in their homes, people want to let their house adapt with their needs as they change over time."
According to Harvard University's Joint Center for Housing Studies, home remodeling is expected to post its best year this year since 2006.
But while home owners want to enhance, they also want to save.
"Before it was curb appeal, showiness and keeping up with the Joneses," Duo Dickinson, author of Staying Put: Remodel Your House to Get the Home You Want (Taunton Press), told USA Today in a recent article on remodeling trends. But now more home owners want their homes to reflect who they are. "The house is the most direct mirror of your personal values. When people renovate to change their lives, they waste money."
These more "me-centered" remodeling projects may include livening up outdoor spaces, creating "livable kitchens" that are multi-purpose and make the kitchen serve as a room for more than just cooking, and smaller master baths (like removing that luxurious spa tub for a larger shower)
Also in saving a buck, more home owners are looking at doing more of the work themselves. According to a new report from Bank of America, 70 percent of home owners are taking on home improvement projects that they once hired out in order to cut costs, tackling everything from plumbing to painting.
15 Responses to 6 Most Popular Projects Home Owners Target With Remodeling
Interesting. The market has made people look more for functionality with their renovations instead of trying to increase value or "curb appeal."

Only Slaves Are Buried In Tacos: Ancient Roman Gladiator Buried In Lead "Burrito"
What you're looking at is the grave an ancient Roman gladiator. Now I know it may look like he was buried in the world's crappiest paper airplane, but it's actually a lead sarcophagus. And not the kind that makes your pee smell funny. That's asparagus. And Honey Smacks.
Found in a cement-capped pit in the ancient metropolis of Gabii, the coffin is unusual because it's made of lead--only a few hundred such Roman burials are known.
Even odder, the 800 pounds (362 kilograms) of lead fold over the corpse like a burrito, said Roman archaeologist Jeffrey Becker. Most lead sarcophagi look like "old-fashioned cracker boxes," molded into a rectangular shape with a lid, he said.
Hmm, maybe it's not a gladiator after all and is actually the beloved proprietor of a Roman Taco Truck. I'd believe that. Of course, I'd also believe it if you told me you were an alien that's come to earth to photograph human genitalia. Kidding, I'm not that stupid. But I'd still show it to you. What? I'm an exhibitionist!

Last week injuries to his top two quarterback kept Oakland Head Coach Tom Cable from announcing a starter until gameday.
This week, the Broncos have the luxury of knowing who will be under center to begin Sunday's game in London.
With No. 1 quarterback Alex Smith out with an injury, San Francisco Head Coach Mike Singletary has picked Troy Smith to lead his team. Singletary decided on the former Heisman Trophy winner who has spent the season as the No. 3 quarterback rather than backup David Carr.
"I just feel that (Troy Smith) gives a chance to win football games, I really do," Singletary said in a Wednesday morning conference call. "So, I am excited about the opportunity for him and for us."
Smith, who has not started a game since he was a rookie with Baltimore in 2007, completed 34-of-63 passes for 388 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions this preseason. He was sacked nine times.
At Ohio State, Smith was known as a dual-threat quarterback adept at using his mobility to create big plays. He rushed for 1,168 yards during his career.
Watching Smith's limited action as a pro, Head Coach Josh McDaniels has been impressed with his ability as a pocket passer and game manager.
"He can also do a lot of good things from the pocket with his arm," McDaniels said. "He ran an offense in Baltimore that was, I would say, not a simple one to deal with and handle and he did a nice job with that. I'm sure he's looking forward to the opportunity to get in there and go."
Smith will be charged with leading an offense that includes proven playmakers in tight end Vernon Davis and running back Frank Gore. With Alex Smith — another quarterback capable of making plays with his legs — starting the first seven games, the 49ers scored the second-fewest points per game in the league en route to a 1-6 start.
While it's nice to know before Sunday who the quarterback will be, Mario Haggan said ultimately, the Broncos gameplan remains the same.
"It doesn't change much for us," Haggan said. "We still have to go out and set edges and put pressure on him and make him make some bad throws."
The Broncos pass defense — which currently ranks No. 10 in the NFL — could also get a boost this weekend from the possible returns of safety Brian Dawkins and cornerback Andre' Goodman from injury. Both participated fully on Wednesday — the second consecutive session they were back on the Dove Valley practice field.
Robert Ayers (foot), Perrish Cox (concussion), Darcel McBath (ankle), Eddie Royal (groin), Kevin Vickerson (groin) and Wesley Woodyard (hamstring) all missed Wednesday's session.
McDaniels said Tuesday that Ayers, McBath and Woodyard will not travel with the team to London.
However, the head coach did not rule out the others and said those decisions will be made in advance of Thursday's flight across the Atlantic based on if the players have a realistic chance of playing Sunday.
"We're going to go through today," McDaniels said, "and make sure we make a good decision on whether or not it's worth their time (to travel to London) or if it would be better served for them to just stay here and rehab."
For the 49ers, Alex Smith (shoulder) and center Eric Heitmann (neck) have already been declared out. Linebacker Ahmad Brooks (knee), cornerback Tarrell Brown (back) and Davis (ankle) missed Wednesday's workout in London. Cornerback Nate Clements (ankle) and running back Anthony Dixon (hamstring) were limited during the practice.

Found July 05, 2012 on
Fox Sports Arizona:
Adam Eaton,
A.J. Pollock,
Chris Young,
Carlos Gonzalez
TEAMS: Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies
TEAMS: Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies
One of the ways Adam Eaton has endeared himself to the Diamondbacks: After hitting a hard single one day, Eaton took a wide turn around first base, inviting the outfielder to throw behind him. Eaton took a stutter step, but instead of retreating to first, he took off for second. He made it easily.
It was the kind of thing you might expect from a guy whose twitter handle includes the nickname "spanky."
"He plays with his hair on fire, which you love," Class AAA Reno manager Brett Butler said last month.
It takes one to know one, they say. The games of Eaton and his manager Butler, who spent 17 years in the major leagues, have been compared favorably as Eaton has worked his way up the D-backs system.
Eaton, 5-foot-8, combines a leadoff mans skill set with an extra shot of adrenaline, and he has emerged as a prototype leadoff hitter who can hit his way on base and run his way to the next one ... or two. He is a natural center fielder with an arm that is strong enough for right field, where he is playing these days now that A.J. Pollock is back in Reno.
Eaton remains a work in progress, but the work is so advanced that he led the minor leagues with 124 hits entering Independence Day games. He was hitting. 375, second in the league to teammate and No. 2 hitter Jake Elmore, and led the Pacific Coast League in runs. Eaton also was second in doubles, fourth stolen bases and sixth with a .973 OPS.
Imagine where he would be in the league rankings if he had not spent the first two weeks of the season at Class AA Mobile before being promoted to Reno when Pollock was with the D-backs while Chris Young missed a month with a shoulder injury.
"Hes a unique animal. Hes got this drive and determination that the little guys have," Butler said. "Hes going to start the engine on the club. Hes going to be in the big leagues in a short period of time, and when he gets up there and you give him a chance to play every day, he will never come back. Hell be up there, in my opinion, for 10 or 15 years.
"He adds that enthusiasm to a club at the top of the lineup and gets things going. It rubs off on everybody else, and you can see it."
It has been quite a rise for Eaton, who was a 19th-round draft choice in 2010 out of Miami (Ohio) and immediately made his presence felt. He hit .385 with seven home runs, 37 RBIs and 20 stolen bases in 68 games with Missoula of the Pioneer League after signing that summer. He followed that with a composite .318 batting average, 10 homers, 67 RBIs and 34 stolen bases between Class A Visalia and Class AA Mobile.
Opposing managers have noticed. Eaton made the Pioneer League postseason All-Star team and the California League midseason All-Star team before his move to Mobile, where he started on the Southern League title team the second half of the season. He finished 2011 in the prospect-driven Arizona Fall League, where he was named by scouts and league observers to the all-prospect team.
Eaton, 23, was one of four Reno players named to represent the PCL at the Class AAA All-Star Game in Buffalo on July 11.
While the D-backs are deep in outfielders, Eaton gives them another option in the future -- perhaps even the near future.
Butler, who hit .290 with 558 stolen bases in his long career, will leave the comparisons to others, although he believes Eaton will hit with more power than he did.
"Hes got some pop, which you wouldnt expect, and the guy just knows how to play the game. Hes got the intangibles, too. He does some things that others wont do. Hes still working on his bunting. Hes still working on understanding when to steal bases, even though he runs with a reckless abandon," said Butler, who joined the D-backs as their first-base coach in 2005 and has been in the system ever since.
"Hes learning. Hes listening. Hes paying a lot of attention. The pitchers. What about this? How about that? Hes learned to see how guys swing at the plate and make adjustments where to play. He takes tremendous inventory and then applies it. He just has to hone his skills a little bit.
"Probably the best player, in my opinion, that Ive had in my eight years is Carlos Gonzalez. And I am going to tell you right now he is right behind that kid. I think this kid is going to have a better career than I had. Eaton from the left side adds that extra energy that you need at the top of the lineup. Youll see."

Nationality | South African |
2012 Season Statistics
Birth Date | 17 February 1984 |
IPL debut | 2008 |
A delightfully brutal batsman, a more than decent wicket-keeper and an agile fielder that can put an acrobat to shame – there are very few things (if any) that Abraham Benjamin de Villiers cannot do on a cricket field. Yes, he also has two Test wickets to his name. South Africa's limited-overs captain was a key player in the Delhi Daredevils' middle order in the first three editions of the IPL. He was bought by the Royal Challengers Bangalore for USD 1.1 million at the IPL Player Auction 2011. Since then, he has scored 631 IPL runs in 32 games for them. The IPL witnesses the best of de Villiers – most bowlers won't agree to it – during the 2012 season when playing the role of a finisher, he snatched wins out of the jaws of defeat. He unearthed some outrageous shots to incredible effect and in one over, smashed Dale Steyn for 23 – two fours and sixes each – to win RCB a thriller.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
There are way too many of these beers. No, that's a lie. I actually love that every time I see a display filled with them there are still entries in the series I've not tried. This is the standard 330ml bottle, purchased from Slowbeer in Melbourne.
Pours a slightly hazy deep orange, with reddish hints when held to the light. Head forms a solid froth of off-white, but settles out the a ring with some pocked islands of foam across the top. fine body and powdery carbonation when tilted. Looks pretty decent.
Nose is soft with a bleary hoppiness that gives off a slight vegetative sweetness mingled with a surprising dose of maltiness—more malt indeed than I've noticed in some of the others in the series. The aroma is very smooth, giving a slight sweet herb character with some floral overtones. Despite this, it doesn't actually release much in the way of sharp resin or oil. It's decent though.
Taste is similar: soft bitterness only, giving herbal, almost noble overtones and a faint organic buzz on the tongue. That classic Mikkeller nuttiness comes through (I'm yet to have a beer in this series that I haven't noticed the nut character in), along with a slightly abbreviated hop bitterness towards the back of the palate. Finish empties out pretty quickly, leaving behind just a slight froth from the carbonation. Hmm.
Overall, this is decent enough, but I think definitely one of the weakest I've had, if not the weakest: it's just very generic in its flavours, and I don't feel like I'm now well acquainted with Magnum either. A space-filler in the series and no more for me.

11.2 fl oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on date present. My sixth beer of the Mikkeller Single Hop series. Not entirely too familiar with magnum hops, but I know I've had them in beers before. Expectations are high, based on how well I've enjoyed the others.
Poured into a clear balloon snifter.
A - Pours two fingers of creamy sudsy beige head. Body color is a beautiful burnt sienna orange with plenty of dark peices of yeast sediment floating to the bottom. Not as dark as some of the others that I've seen, but similar to most of the others. Nice delicate lacing.
S - Smell is more subdued than a lot of the others. The magnum hops lend a bit of pine and some earthiness, with bready caramel malts and some booze lingering in the background.
T - A bit different than a lot of the others. Piney, earthy, and bitter from the magnum hops with some green apple skin sweetness, and bready caramel malts to round things off. Coppery and metallic in the finish.
M - Feel is much more resinous and bitter than any of the others that I've had up to this point. Some sweet green apple skin, and copper lingering on the palate.
Overall, while I enjoyed it, this was probably my least favorite of the Mikkeller Single Hop series up to now. Definitely a distinctive flavor from the magnum hops, and some pleasant welcome bitterness, just not nearly as smooth & creamy as others have been, with a metallic edge to it. Looking forward to the others.
Mikkeller Magnum ---4/5.

On tap at the House of Brews, Jensen. Served in a pint glass.
Appearance - Hazy deep orange. Big off white head. Thick collar and a few islands.
Smell - Apple-y and earthy. Weird hop profile. Strong toasty and deep caramelcaramelalt.
Taste - Again with the apples. Earthy and fruity. Slightly tangy. Toasty malt. Bitter.
Mouthfeel - Medium body, pushing medium heavy. Dry and a little musty.
Overall - Weird hop, but surprisingly enjoyable. Took me a while to get used to it.

Mikkeller's march through the single hop series lands at the intensely resinous, but often times harsh bitterness of Magnum hops. Balancing malts support the hops but never interfere with the hoppy onslaught.
As with all of the Single Hopped IPAs in the series, Magnum pours with a hazy honey-amber appearance. Topped with a sheet of off white foam, the head retains remarkably and laces with broken rings around the glass. It's a nice looking beer, even if a bit dark.
The Mangnum hops arrive with merely a balanced aroma of pine cones, grass, and citrus. Boldly earthen, the hops remind me of freshly shaven woods, fresh mowed lawns, and bailed hay. Caramel, toast, and bread dough provide the balance to the somewhat reserved hops.
Flavors of the malt coax the palate with its foundation of bread, toast, and dry caramel. But then come the hoppy taste of wood, grass, and pithy white grapefruit flesh. The earthy and citrus flavors slowly grow in to an intensely bitter taste that dominates the dry finish. This becomes one seriously bitter beer.
Medium bodied, but dense for an IPA. Its weight attempts to balance the beer instead of instead of scumming to the hops. But as the malt timidly wavers, the woody dryness of hops offers medium astringency that emerges from the bitterness and aids the alcohol in warmth and dryness.
After the middle palate, the Magnum hops command the beer better than nearly any that I've had in the Single Hop Series. It takes this demonstrative hop to stand out to this extent above the sturdy malt backdrop. Still the rawness of the Magnum hop exposes the rough edges of this beta-heavy hop variety.

A big, three-inch head is short-lived and rocky, leaving a fine lace coating over a cloudy, honey-gold to brownish beer.
Alcohol fumes are quite present lifting pine nibs into the olfactory.
Mild with low bitterness that is surprising and perhaps a result of sampling alongside the Galena. This will be tried again later to judge on its own. Flavors of apricot were discernible.
A full-bodied beer with less alcohol than expected from the nose. A wooly texture and ample carbonation.
Magnum was enjoyed as part of a self-training exercise to distinguish between the hop varieties. Any meal would be complimented by this beer.
Sampled from a Pint glass alongside the Galena Single Hop IPA.
The second sampling found Magnum to be quite bitter as originally expected, however, the fruit flavors were muddled.

This is a pretty decent ipa. Thick malt base with a floral and very soft hop spice and flavor profile to it. Smooth liquid feel, though the carbonation hits a bit too much from time to time. Not too shabby. I can dig it. Certainly beats most of the other single hopped beers from Mikkeller.

Poured from a bottle into a Dogfish snifter
A- pours a cloudy shade of dark orange, almost brown, with a paper thin white head. Much less of a head than the rest of the single hops, so I have to knock it down another notch
S- pretty nice aroma of tropical fruits, but it's a little bit of a weak aroma. Smells nice, just a little muted
T- interesting taste...a little bit of tropical fruit, a little bit of a flowery, perfumey type taste, and the finish is a little bitter. Very complex and interesting

A: Pours a hazy amber with a thick, fluffy off-white head.
S: Aromas of caramel, biscuits, orange, lemon, and lime zest are present on the nose.
T: Notes of caramel, biscuits, grass, orange, lemon, lime zest, and grapefruit rind wash across the palate. The finish is extremely bitter with grass, lime zest, and grapefruit rind flavors.
M: Medium-bodied and relatively dry, but not as much so as some of the other beers in this series. Carbonation is relatively gentle.
O: This is a pretty decent, but also pretty crude, IPA. Magnum hops tend to be all about the bitterness, and it shows in this beer. This is the first brew I've had that uses Magnum hops exclusively, and I'm beginning to suspect that there is a reason for this. Compared to the other IPAs in this series, the flavors were a bit muddy, but if you're a fan of extremely bitter IPAs like I am, then this is forgivable.

out of control head even on an easy pour, I had to stop pouring otherwise this would be all over my keyboard, on the final pour it still stands at 2 fingers of craggy soap like foam, murky subdued orange hue with some steady carbonation lazily making it's way to the fluff pillow capping this one, lacing is OK. this is a good looking beer.
this almost smells like fluggel hops amped up, it has that sweet smell rather than a piney/citric/herbal smell, it places nicely on a bready undertone, reminds me of some ESBs, pretty straight forward but well executed.
taste etc...
nice and bright carbonation, absolutely perfect for the style in my opinion, with the nose I was expecting sort of a mild euro tone but this is quite happening in the mouth, this one is very well balanced between the bitterness and the malt. the alcohol is only slightly detected. this beer does not have a bad note in it, nothing is spectacular except for how consistent and pleasant it is overall, this is really drinkable but has a good amount of hop character lingering in the after taste... this one begs for another sip.
I actually don't recall how much this cost, but damn this is a fine tasty beer, go get some, it is a really nice IPA.

A - Very nice coppery caramel color. Full, light, pillowy, frothy, white head. Great retention leaving a nice lacing.
S - Nice pine and floral/herbal aroma. Not strongly grassy, but there are hints of grass. Also some spice. A nice caramel malt base.
T - Similar to the nose. A strong pine flavor with a strong sticky resinous flavor on the finish. Herbal and spicy hop flavor throughout as well. Hints of an earthy hop flavor in the undertones. A very subtle caramel malt provides a nice undertone throughout.
M - Medium body but it can tread toward thin sometimes. High carbonations. Sticky finish that just coats your mouth.
D - Pretty good IPA that isn't just one not despite using just one hop strain. A little strong on the pine and resin flavor. Has a good substance to it though.
Notes: A nice display of the hops. Plenty of different notes compete throughout. Strong pine and resin but it is more than a one note IPA. Don't know if I'd get it again for the price, but it was a nice display of the hops.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours an orange color with a white head. The aroma is pretty nice. I get some apricot and other tropical fruit notes, as well as some grass and a little bit of biscuit malt.
The flavor is similar. The two dominant hop flavors are apricots and grass. The bitterness is pretty low due to the toffee and caramel malt notes that are in the flavor.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Cap numbered 8171103! Served from bottle into Stone nonic. Poured yellow-orange with a four and a half finger off-white head that subsided to one finger slowly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, tropical fruit, citrus, citrus hop, fruit hop, and floral notes. The flavor was of sweet malt, fruit, citrus, citrus hop, and floral hop. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty good brew. Based on some of the offerings I've had in this series I don't go into most of them expecting much, but this one surprised me quite nicely. The aroma on this one was really good with the citrus aspects mixed in with the nice floral notes. The flavor continued this fact which made this one quite enjoyable. I would drink this one again, which is saying something considering how most of these in the series are mediocre brews at best.

Next in line of the series...
Same appearance as all the others except a slightly less fluffy head than usual. But still the head surpasses most IPAs I've had in size and texture. Mouthfeel is the same as all the other ones in the series.
Magnum smells of orange peel with large bursts of peppery spice going off like fireworks in the sky to my nose. I approve. :)
Taste is more leaning towards earthy bitterness, but more subtle on the peppery spice notes than the nose would lead you to believe. I sort of wish it was as peppery as advertised by smell...oh well. Orange peel comes back around to say hello to me on the finish end of the sip... pretty good for a single hop IPA.

Another in a long line of IPAs from the Mikkeller people, someone's dissertation or something from De Proef. The title of the dissertation "How to sell mediocre IPAs to the world: a study in single hop additions in the generation of unpalatable beers"
Served in a snifter at Churchkey in DC. Beer is reddish and clear with a tiny, monolayed white head that leaves a little bit of lacing on the glass but is lowly carbonated.
Aroma of the beer is earthy and mildly hoppy, NICE HOPS!!! Lots of malt and some alcohol still.
Beer is medium in body and finishes with a mild dryness and moderate bitterness. The midpalate of the beer is piny and strong with hop flavor and alcohol. Interesting. I liked this one more than most but it wasn't my favorite. I may have even mistaken this for an actual IPA in a blind taste test.

A: A slightly hazy amber pour. Foamy off-white head that sticks around and leaves nice lacing eventually.
S: Pretty subtle aroma. Barely able to discern much over the bready malt. Some orange and a little grapefruit is about it.
T: Like the smell, the taste is pretty mild. Bready malt is there, the hops are a bit stronger but still not like I was expecting. Grapefruit and pine mostly.
M: Mid-range mouthfeel. Bitterness is pretty apparent and carries through to the aftertaste. A little oil sensation sticks around too.
O: Pretty mild but drinkable. I could drink a bunch of these. Not as overpowering as some of the other single hops - some of which were almost hard to drink.

11.2oz poured side by side with Columbus and Mt. Hood versions.
This is definitely the most impressive looking of the three as it has a clear amber body with a big white head that shows fantastic retention and lacing. There's a one inch cap 10 minutes after the pour.
Aroma is tamer than the Columbus for sure with little in the way of citrus and more earthy notes with some grass and light grains. Light biscuity malts as well.
The taste is also tame with a tad more oranges and grapefruit but it's still mostly sweet malts and bread with earthy hops on top. The finish is dry and bitter.
The mouthfeel is like the rest of the series with high carbonation and medium body.
This is my least favorite of the three overall though it looks great. It's just not all that distinctive in the taste. Pretty good IPA though.

AdSense is one of the widely-used monetization tools amongst digital publishers, especially those of the smaller variety. Yet publishers have no idea what portion of the advertising revenue their sites generate is being shared with them by Google. Until now.
Yesterday, in a move that has been discussed and anticipated for some time, Google has finally shared the AdSense revenue share with publishers.
In a post on Google's Inside AdSense blog, VP of Product Management Neal Mohan detailed:
AdSense for content publishers, who make up the vast majority of our AdSense publishers, earn a 68% revenue share worldwide. This means we pay 68% of the revenue that we collect from advertisers for AdSense for content ads that appear on your sites.
We pay our AdSense for search partners a 51% revenue share, worldwide, for the search ads that appear through their implementations.
Calling these figures "very competitive", Mohan stated "We hope this additional transparency helps you gain more insight into your business partnership with Google."
Google's move is certainly one that will be welcomed by publishers. According to Mohan, Google doesn't have plans to change its revenue share structure anytime soon, although it of course reserves the right to if it feels business conditions warrant such action. Even so, yesterday's announcement should put to rest some of the speculation that frequently pops up about the revenue share figures.
The big question now is how AdSense competitors will respond to Google's newfound transparency. As Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan notes:
The split will also likely put Google under pressure to share more. Keeping half of all search ad revenue is a huge chunk. Even keeping over 30% seems a huge slice. Expect competitors to perhaps stand out by offering to share more with advertisers.
Google is no doubt aware that disclosing the AdSense revenue share will give competitors a new means to try to poach publishers, which is probably why Mohan encouraged AdSense publishers to look at the big picture: alternatives to AdSense may offer a higher revenue share but deliver a lower yield. Publishers should "focus on the total revenue generated from your site, rather than just revenue share, which can be misleading," he wrote.
Whatever happens, Google's transparency is long overdue and the trust this move may help to build is probably worth far more to Google than publishers who aren't happy with 68% and who try their luck elsewhere.

Describe the divergence in viewpoint of Zinn and Foner in the history of the United States.
1 Answer | add yours
Best answer as selected by question asker.
Both historians are similar in that they assess history in a manner that tends to reject the traditional narrative. A point of difference between them can be seen in both the literal and more reflective analysis. In one dimension, Foner differs from Zinn in that his focus is on one particular period and linking the events from that period to the modern setting. His study of Reconstruction is one in which he is able to draw parallels to the modern Civil Rights Movement and even link such realities to the current state of race and political understanding of racial constructs. Zinn is more concerned with the idea of assessing how social and political institutions throughout American History have limited power to the ruling elite and the wealthy. He draws this analysis throughout American History. Foner looks at one period and draws potential thematic implications from there. Zinn takes the thematic analysis and applies it to all periods of American History. In both, one sees the power of reflective analysis in historical narrative, one that fundamentally reshifts how individuals view American History and the implications of it.

Rookie Stallings makes first run to final group
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS - Scott Stallings has enjoyed himself this week at The Greenbrier Resort, but today could be his most memorable day yet.
The 26-year-old PGA Tour rookie fired a 4-under-par 66 on historic Old White TPC during Saturday's third round of the second annual Greenbrier Classic to vault into second place at 9-under 201, just one stroke behind leader Anthony Kim.
Stallings will be paired with Kim in today's final grouping, the first such honor for Stallings. He's finished in the top 25 six times this year but is still seeking his first victory.
"I feel like if I give myself good opportunities to make birdies I'll have a chance and all that other stuff will take care of itself,'' said Stallings, who turned in a 5-under 65 Friday. "Just try to go out there and try to hit a good shot and try to go from there.''
That approach worked Saturday as Stallings, whose best finish this year was third at the Transitions Championship, only had four birdies - two each on the front and back nine - but continued his streak of 42 straight rounds without a bogey.
"My coach and I had a really good week my week off during the British Open and I felt like a lot of things were coming together,'' said Stallings, who earned his PGA Tour card by finishing in a tie for 11th at the 2010 Qualifying Tournament.
"I felt good coming into this week. It's my dream come true [playing on the PGA Tour]. I've wanted to do this since I was a little kid. I was that guy that on Sundays that's all I did, watching the PGA Tour. It feels more comfortable day in and day out.''
Stallings said the experience this week at America's Resort can't be duplicated.
"This whole place is incredible,'' he said. "I mean just the concerts each night and just the amenities. The golf tournament is phenomenal, but it's nice going to a place where you definitely feel like they go out of their way to make you feel welcome.
"I was on the charter from Canada [coming from the RBC Canadian Open last Sunday] and as soon as you got here you saw 30 people welcome you at 4 o'clock in the morning. It's one of those things like, 'Man, they definitely care about the players and they want them to have a good experience and they want them to come back.' I have no complaints whatsoever. I had an absolute blast and I can't wait to come back.''
Stallings said he isn't going to get too caught up thinking about his first victory.
"All that stuff takes care of itself,'' he said. "I mean, you could play really good and not win. In Tampa [in the Transitions Championship] I felt like I played great and didn't win.
"Gary [Woodland] and Webb [Simpson] both played awesome and I felt like I got beat. At the end of the day, you just do as good as you possibly can. It that's good enough, that's awesome.''

Situation Analysis of the HIV Response Among Young People in Zambia
Council researchers are reviewing HIV and youth programs and policies in Zambia for use in high-level advocacy and to inform the implementation of Zambia's new HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework.
The Population Council is synthesizing and analyzing existing strategic information on HIV and young people in Zambia—including programs, policies, and key partners—and identifying gaps in the evidence and the current HIV response. Methods include a literature review, focus group discussions with youth, and key informant interviews. The project was commissioned by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) in Zambia and was carried out under the guidance of the Zambia National AIDS Council.
The final report will be used in high-level advocacy and will inform implementation of Zambia's new HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework. It will also support implementation of the business case for the priority area of young people within the UNAIDS Outcome Framework and provide baselines and targets for this area through 2015.

Britons shun polls for new police commissioners
- Tweet
- Link this
- Share this
LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron was accused of presiding over an election shambles on Friday after voters stayed away from a costly national poll to pick commissioners to boost the oversight of local police forces.
Turnout in Thursday's polls to elect the U.S.-style police commissioners for 41 forces across England and Wales looked set to become one of the worst in British electoral history, below the 23 percent low in the 1999 European elections, raising questions over the legitimacy of the successful candidates.
Voter indifference to the initiative, designed to make chief constables more accountable to the public, was compounded by poor media coverage, with the government refusing to subsidise candidate mail shots and leaflets.
The decision to hold the polls in November, when days are short and the weather cold, instead of in May alongside regular local authority elections, was also blamed for voter apathy, with candidates winning on turnouts as low as 12 percent.
At one polling station in south Wales no voters turned up at all, with the average turnout in the elections standing at 14 percent as ballots continued to be counted, the BBC reported.
A Reuters journalist stood outside a polling station for 45 minutes in Harlow, a town east of London, on Thursday and saw only one person voting.
The elections had been a "complete shambles", said Labour, accusing the Conservative-led government of wasting the 75 million pound cost of running the polls.
The Electoral Reform Society (ERS), a pro-democracy campaign group, said the elections had been a "comedy of errors".
"No amount of spin can conceal the historical proportions of this failure. Even in wartime governments have managed to get more people to the polls with half the population under arms or overseas," said ERS Chief Executive Katie Ghose.
The plans were already controversial, with critics saying the commissioners would hinder the work of top officers with political meddling and distorting police priorities, and the poor turnout will add fuel to the complaints.
"The level of turnout will inevitably raise questions about their legitimacy," said John Collins, deputy director of the Police Foundation, an independent think tank.
Cameron dismissed the concerns, saying the new commissioners had a mandate despite voter indifference and would bring more accountability to police forces than the unelected police authorities they will supersede.
"Remember these ... commissioners are replacing organisations that weren't directly elected at all and for the first time people are going to have a local law and order champion," he said.
"The turnout was always going to be low, when you're electing a new post for the first time," he added.
In one of the few contests to attract media attention, former Labour deputy prime minister John Prescott failed to be elected as police commissioner for Humberside in north east England, coming second behind Conservative rival Matthew Grove.

The only thing we ever hear from Labour these days is melodrama.
Cuts in the national left-wings melodramatics would be welcome.
Maybe some spokeswomen could find a dark room for herself, calm down and carry on within without having to resort to a dose of Valium over it all!)
Why didnt the Govt use the state broadcasting (BBC TV, Radio and Internet) to specifically advertise the Commissioner's Role and the benefits of voting…
The BBC is a powerful institution and it serves the state which the Govt heads.
At General Elections, all political parties use the media to advertise politics, yet for this new political policy, little to no proper communication to the wider world and audience.
