Eden Foods Mirin Rice Cooking Wine - 10.5 oz (300 mL)
Eden Foods Mirin Rice Cooking Wine is low in sodium and carbohydrate. Eden
Foods Mirin Rice Cooking Wine is fat free and cholesterol free. The natural
sugar content in the mirin is due to the fermentation of the rice and is in the
form of complex carbohydrate grain sugar or maltose. Mirin is also a source of
naturally occurring amino acids, organic acids and enzymes. Eden Foods Mirin
Rice Cooking Wine is mildly sweet with a hint of sour and salty flavors.
Eden Foods Mirin Rice Cooking Wine is made by first washing and steaming
California grown Lundberg Family Farm organic brown rice for several hours.
After cooling it is mixed with a bit of rice koji (Aspergillus oryzae) called
seed koji. The rice mixture is placed in a temperature and moisture controlled
koji room for three days where it is stirred daily to ensure proper growth of
the koji enzymes. The rice koji is then placed in cedar kegs and mixed with more
steamed rice and water. This rice mixture is called 'moromi,' or rice wine mash,
that is allowed to ferment for two months. At this time sea salt is added, as
well as more steamed rice, koji and water. It is allowed to ferment for another
three months. After fermentation is complete, the mixture is pressed through
cotton sacks and filtered to remove rice residue. It is heated to 85°C. for 3 to
4 seconds. Eden Foods Mirin Rice Cooking Wine's alcohol content, about ten
percent, quickly evaporates when cooked with food or may be removed by heating
it to the boiling point, and allowed to cool before adding to uncooked
Mirin originated in Japan during the 15th century and was initially made by
simply mixing cooked sweet rice together with sake, a traditional Japanese rice
wine. In the 16th century mirin brewers began distilling this sweet wine in an
effort to prolong its shelf life. This distilled wine called 'shochu', or 'fire
spirits,' had a very high alcohol content. Over the next several centuries
brewers further experimented with shochu by adding cooked sweet rice and rice
koji enzymes and eventually sea salt to further reduce the alcohol content.
Originally mirin was very expensive and not affordable to the general public.
Eventually its virtue as a seasoning was discovered and mirin began to be used
in Japan's highest, most elegant form of cooking, 'Kaiseki,' or tea ceremony
cooking. Over the years mirin's popularity as a seasoning increased among the
general public as it became more affordable, but the quality of most mirin
sharply declined.
Today most commercial mirin is made from molasses, glucose, artificially
produced koji enzymes (many of which are genetically engineered), cornstarch,
ethyl alcohol, preservatives and other additives that are simply mixed with
water and fermented very quickly. Chemical denaturing additives are used instead
of sea salt to reduce the alcohol content. The results are less healthful and
inferior in quality and flavor. Eden Foods Mirin Rice Cooking Wine is of
superior quality containing no artificial ingredients.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Does Eden use any chemical additives, preservatives, or chemical or
Genetically Engineered derived 'processing aides' in any of its foods?
No. They choose not to and make sure all ingredients are natural too.
Are any Eden Foods or ingredients subjected to food irradiation?
No Eden foods or ingredients are ever irradiated. Eden banned
irradiated food on August 13, 1988.
Are all Eden Foods certified organic? Approximately 80
percent of Eden Foods are double certified organic, both by USDA NOP certifiers
and by their Chairman and president. Some Japanese Imported and Macrobiotic
specialty products, as well as olive oil, are not certified organic, even though
they are grown and processed in the traditional manner and are the finest we can
What percentage of Eden Foods are United States and North American
grown? Approximately 75 percent of Eden Foods are organically grown on
more than 360 family farms of North America with over 80,000 acres of vibrant
farmland, and growing every year.
Do any Eden Foods contain dairy derivatives, eggs, gelatin, or animal
by products? None of their foods contain dairy derivatives, eggs,
gelatin, or animal derived by-products. Their teabags are crimped sealed and are
not glued. Their probiotic supplement, Bifa-15, does contain lactose and
gelatin. Eden Bonito Flakes (fish flakes) is the only non- vegetarian, non-vegan
food that we offer.
Does Eden employ Quality Control measures to ensure safe and
consistent food? Yes. Every food offered by Eden is subject to numerous
detailed and stringent Quality Control (QC) procedures. Eden's United States
facilities are inspected and rated by strict third party AIB International
inspectors. Eden's consistent high ratings reflect a deep, company wide
commitment to food safety, sanitation, and HACCP management programs. One
example is Edensoy, with over 240 quality control checks to ensure a consistent
and safe product. In addition to the guards and monitors that are part of the
machines, a package of soymilk is pulled from production every half hour and
thoroughly tested in every regard to be sure it meets our stringent standards.
Why does Eden carry foods that are kosher? Because, due to
their stringent purchasing disciplines they already were, so they had them
certified. And yes, Eden is committed to offering certified kosher and pareve
foods. In order for any food product to be certified kosher, its actual
production must be Rabbinically supervised. The Rabbi visits on a regular basis.
He inspects the machines prior to production and verifies that every step
required by Jewish Law has been observed and fulfilled. Not all Eden foods are
kosher, but 97 percent are; and all kosher foods offered by Eden are certified
and marked with a Circle-K on the package.
Who Says It's Organic?In 1988 after twenty years of
doing organic certification ourselves, Eden adopted third-party organic
certification. Eden farm and factory systems, and manuals were guiding and
became bedrock for the new organic certifiers. Eden discerningly selects
certifying agencies for third-party certification. Their primary is the Organic
Crop Improvement Association (OCIA), yet they always maintain complete
responsibility for ensuring organic authenticity. It is far more than paperwork
to them. They know their growers well. They use third-party certifiers who work
with Eden standards, require an audit trail, and provide deep transparency.
Knowing what motivates their growers is essential to them before they can have
confidence in their food.
Regrettably, organic food no longer has to be natural food. There are
hundreds of chemicals and 'allowables' permitted in the USDA National Organic
Program (NOP) that Eden avoids. With USDA organic certification requirements
vary a lot, all the way to nonexistent. Accountability is rare, especially for
imported food. Eden does not consider food 'certified organic' unless they have
completed thorough due diligence regarding its authenticity. The same is true
for their non-genetically engineered claims. Eden organic food meets and exceeds
requirements for the USDA organic seal, but they do not use it because it does
not reflect Eden standards, in spirit or in practice.
GEO Free Assurance Since 1993Since 1993 Eden has
diligently created a system that totally avoids genetically engineered food. The
GEO industry and USDA want us to believe commercial scale GEO free food is
impossible, as they've thoroughly (and intentionally) polluted the food supply.
Eden foods are proof that GEO free food is doable. They have the records, tests,
and foods that demonstrate it.
The Non-GMO Project (The Project) was created by industry members from all of
its sectors in the U.S.A. and Canada. The Project works to provide consumers and
makers a third party non-GMO verification program through all levels of the
supply chain, providing verified non-GMO alternatives to the public. Eden Foods'
president, Michael Potter is one of eleven governing members of its board of
directors who have been involved in initiating, funding, and writing standards
for The Project. The Project is North America's first independent non-GMO
verification program utilizing on-site facility audits, document and systems
reviews, and DNA PCR (polymerase chain reaction) testing of all inputs at risk
for GMO contamination.
Irradiation FreeRealizing that powerful forces were
determined to make food irradiation a common practice, Eden first communicated
with our customers about this issue and established a Zero Tolerance policy for
irradiated foods in 1988. Today, as irradiation is an ever-increasing threat to
human rights and health, Eden's position remains Zero Tolerance. Rigorous
selection and screening down to every herb, spice, and seasoning provides us
100% confidence that no EDEN food or ingredient is, has been, or ever will be
subject to irradiation. They encourage your vigilance and activism.
Kosher Eden has managed certification of its kosher
foods since 1982. Today 91% of EDEN foods are kosher. Eden chose the Organized
Kashrus Laboratories of Brooklyn, New York and their mark because of their
reputation for meticulous attention to detail dating back to 1935. They began
this in 1982 after realizing our natural foods were already, by virtue of our
selection criteria, completely qualified for kosher status.
About Eden Foods
Over 40 Years Ago…Eden Foods began in Ann Arbor in the
late 1960s with friends sourcing natural food. Youth motivated by a study of a
worldwide phenomenon centered upon macrobiotics: eating a diet of whole grain
and seasonal local plant foods that are not nutrient depleted and without toxic
chemical adulteration. Natural foods were simply not available at the time, so
they started the Eden food co-op to bring them in. Their initial $200 orders to
Erewhon in Boston and Chico-san in California were well received and caused a
local stir. This lead to co-op members traveling rural roads, knocking on doors
looking for farmers to grow food using organic methods.
The Eden co-op grew into a natural food store offering whole grains, beans,
soyfoods, sea vegetables, miso, cereals, vegetable oils, seed and nut butters,
and the like. It expanded adding a cafeteria, bakery, and books, and became
known as the Eden Deli. It was one of very few places in the U.S.A. where you
could get natural, organic, macrobiotic food. Folks came from near and far.
Health food stores called asking to get the foods Eden was carrying. An EDEN
brand began to take shape.
In 1972 Eden opened its first warehouse and established relations with
artisan Japanese traditional food makers. Imports of sea vegetables, teas, miso,
shoyu, umeboshi plums, kuzu root starch, rice vinegar, rice bran pickles, mirin,
etc. followed, and this solidified Eden as an important natural food source for
the United States and Canada.
Constantly ReinvestingEden is the oldest natural and
organic food company in North America and the largest independent manufacturer
of dry grocery organic foods. They are deeply rooted in Michigan about twenty
miles southwest of Ann Arbor. It is here they manage grower relations,
manufacturing, trucking, quality control, customer and retailer services,
marketing, import/export, accounting, databases and websites. Over 95% of EDEN
foods are sold in natural food stores, co-ops, and supermarkets via traditional
natural and grocery distribution channels. Web site, employee, and wholesale
sales make up the remainder.
Eden tracks the environmental impact of its food upstream with suppliers,
through company operations, and downstream monitoring all its social impacts.
Energy consumption and waste are tracked using custom in-house tools. In 2009
Eden Foods was selected as the best food company in the world, and the third
best company overall by The Better World Shopping Guide. They acknowledged
Eden's outstanding record in social and environmental responsibility. The
company earned A+ and A ratings in ten food categories. This is further
explained at edenfoods.com/betterworld
Locally Grown FoodEden buys all food from, and pays
farms directly getting more cash to them. Most is grown a few miles to a few
hundred miles from home base. In the Midwest they source wild rice, beans,
spelt, soybeans, cabbage, apples, tart cherries, strawberries, pastry wheat, and
tomatoes. Other North American family farm organic food includes grains from the
Midwest and Western high plains; almonds, pistachios, and brown rice are from
California; flax and mustard seed are from Saskatchewan; dulse is from New
Brunswick. …too many to list here.
Cooking and packaging centers around home too. EDEN prepares 70% of its items
at headquarters: fresh milled whole grain flours, gomasio sesame salts,
unrefined vegetable oils, vinegars, soy sauces, roasted almonds and seeds,
packaged snacks, whole grains, sea salt, popcorn and other grain. EDENSOY is
made twelve miles east at an affiliate company we founded to bring its
manufacture from Japan to Michigan. Eden Organic Pasta Company is in Detroit.
Meridian Foods cannery for organic beans, refried beans, rice and beans, and
chilies is in east-central Indiana. EDEN organic udon and soba noodles are made
at Sobaya Company in Montréal, PQ. Some EDEN food comes from afar: extra virgin
olive oil from Spain, high altitude white and red quinoa from the Andes
mountains, chamomile from Egypt, and green tea and traditional healthy food from
Japan. The soybeans in their miso and soy sauces are non-GMO, U.S.A. Midwestern
EDEN Mirin can be used as a multipurpose liquid seasoning for grilled dishes such as tofu, tempeh, fish, seafood and vegetables. It adds complexity to soups, noodle broth, sauces, poached fish and tofu dishes, marinades, gravies, salad dressings and sautéed vegetable dishes. It can be combined with EDEN Organic Brown Rice Vinegar and added to cooked sushi rice; this gives the rice a glossy appearance. To prepare dipping sauce for noodles, grilled foods, tofu, batter fried tempura and other foods, simply combine a little mirin with any EDEN Shoyu Soy Sauce and a little freshly grated ginger or a pinch of EDEN Wasabi (Japanese Horseradish) powder. EDEN Mirin produces a beautiful, shiny finish for glazing pie crusts and pastries. It can also be used in making desserts such as poached fruit and puddings. To use it in place of sugar, add one tablespoon of EDEN Mirin for each teaspoon of sugar called for in the recipe.

A 2010 course and program grant awarded to Center of Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID, itself supported by an NCIIA Course and Program grant) at Johns Hopkins University has swiftly returned on its investment. Two biomedical device start-ups have spun out of the Master's Level Education in Bioengineering Innovation course:
Grant PI Bob Allen reports that so far 15 students have graduated from the program with MS degrees. JHPIEGO, JHU's global health partner, is further developing two other projects from the grant: an electronic partogram and the antenatal screening kit (a 2010 E-Team grantee and Popular Science invention of the year).
An NCIIA grantee, the Antenatal Screening Kit team from Johns Hopkins University, will be part of a five year program to address global health challenges through affordable technologies.
Jhpiego, a global health nonprofit organization affiliated with Johns Hopkins, will lead a $24.9 million effort to expand its array of simple inexpensive lifesaving technologies to address today's global health challenges.
In 2010 the Antenatal Screening Kit team received a $16,000 E-Team grant to develop a simple self-screening test for diseases such as pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, the second-leading cause of maternal deaths worldwide.
More about the team:
Since being selected to attend this year's Open Minds showcase in March, the Antenatal Screening Kit E-Team from Johns Hopkins University has earned a growing media following.
The team's invention, a suite of pens that can be used to screen expectant mothers for treatable diseases and health problems, has been featured in Popular Science's 'Invention of the Year' issue (June 2011, page 62).
The team was also featured in the JHU Gazette -- read the story here.
One of NCIIA's most recent E-Teams, the Antenatal Screening Kit team from Johns Hopkins University, has won the inaugural ABC/Duke University 'Reinventing Maternal Health Challenge.' The Challenge was devised in partnership with The Lemelson Foundation.
The JHU team has developed a screening kit - delivered through a pen - to provide low-cost healthcare to women in even the remotest villages. The kit includes a variety of custom markers pre-filled with reagents for screening tests for conditions including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, malnutrition, and anemia.
Selected from more than 65 video entries submitted by university students internationally, the JHU team will be awarded $10,000 and will be provided mentoring and support from The Lemelson Foundation.
Johns Hopkins University, 2010 - $20,000
There are over 1.5 million spinal fusion surgeries performed annually worldwide. Bone grafting is the standard practice in orthopedic medicine to foster restoration and healing of the spine in addition to providing structural and biological support. The current gold standard for graft materials is the autologous bone graft, which uses cancellous bone from the patient's own hip (clinically termed the iliac crest bone graft or ICBG). ICBG produces the best results, but it must be extracted through an invasive procedure that is cumbersome for the surgeon and painful for the patient. There is currently no specialized device designed to extract sufficient volumes of ICBG for spinal surgery without high risk to the patient.
This team's goal is to dramatically improve the procedure for extracting ICBG. The device will be minimally invasive, will standardize the harvesting procedure, and will allow for safe extraction of large volumes of ICBG. This will increase spinal fusion success rates while reducing patient morbidity, surgical time, and healthcare expenditures.
Johns Hopkins University, 2010 - $16,000
Each year, nearly 600,000 women die worldwide as a result of complications arising from pregnancy and childbirth. In South Asia, barely 50% of women have access to antenatal care, and as a result millions of women over the years have died avoidable deaths.
This team is developing a kit consisting of rapid and cost-effective point-of-care tests to screen expectant mothers for various readily treatable diseases and health problems that can lead to complications during pregnancy. The kit contains different marker pens pre-filled with reagents and a special booklet. A simple mark on a piece of paper by the test pen creates a dipstick for urine, and results in an easily read color change, telling the healthcare worker if action is needed. The kit provides a 10 to 100 fold cost reduction in the cost of tests and longer shelf life for reagents in challenging environments.
The team is partnered with Jhpiego, a leading global NGO in maternal/child healthcare, which will provide access to test populations and marketing strategy development assistance.
Johns Hopkins University
Every second four babies are born across the world, totaling about 130 million births per year. Unfortunately, complications cause 6.3 million maternal and perinatal deaths per year, with the vast majority of those deaths occurring in developing countries—deaths that in many cases could have been prevented with basic interventions. But in some countries, up to half of expectant mothers do not have access to healthcare during their pregnancies.
This team of biomedical engineers is working closely with Jhpiego, the leading NGO in maternal and child healthcare, to develop an antenatal screening kit to deliver low-cost healthcare to women in even the remotest villages. The kit includes a variety of custom markers pre-filled with reagents for screening tests. The tests are intuitive and simple to use, allowing a semi-trained community health worker to mark a piece of paper and create a custom dipstick for the mother. The kit contains seven tests for conditions including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, malnutrition, and anemia. The team is pilot testing the kit in Nepal.

This grant supports a new course, Sustainable Medical Device Innovation for Developing Countries, in Johns Hopkins' Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID). The course, being developed as a core requirement for a new one-year MS program at CBID, will have the explicit aim of training students in the process of identification, invention and implementation of healthcare technologies that solve clinical problems in developing countries.
Students will learn through immersive clinical experience, partnering with hospitals and community health centers in South Asia and Southern Africa. Over the course of two semesters, they will work in teams to invent and prototype multiple solutions to problems they identify, develop a clinical trial plan, identify manufacturing partners, and develop an appropriate business model. Once the projects reach a certain level of maturity, teams will receive intensive mentoring on how to pursue further funding opportunities to fully implement their ideas (Gates Foundation, USAID, etc.).
Over the last four years, the Center of Bioengineering Innovation and Design (CBID, supported by an NCIIA Course and Program grant) within the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University has planned and launched a one-year master's program focusing on the identification, creation and implementation of novel health care technologies.
This grant will fund prototype development costs for graduate student teams developing technologies in the CBID. Feedback from VCs and others emphasized the importance of developing very strong prototypes in order to increase the chances for securing funding and support. Faculty also plan to expand the program from twelve to fifteen students, and require teams to increase the number of and improve the quality of prototypes developed over the span of the program.
Two biomedical device start-ups have spun out of the Master's Level Education in Bioengineering Innovation course:
Grant PI Bob Allen reports that so far 15 students have graduated from the program with MS degrees. JHPIEGO, JHU's global health partner, is further developing two other projects from the grant: an electronic partogram and the antenatal screening kit (a 2010 E-Team grantee and Popular Science invention of the year).
The winners of BMEidea 2010 were announced today, at the MD&M trade show in New York City. In first place, winning $10,000, is the Rapid Hypothermia Induction Device team from Johns Hopkins University.
Second place and $2,500 went to the Low-cost Ventilator (OneBreath) team from Stanford University. Third place and $1,000 went to the Natural Orifice Volume Enlargement (NOVEL) Device team from University of Cincinnati.

The human spine is composed of vertically stacked vertebrae that form a protective canal for the spinal cord. Instability of the spine caused by vertebral fractures, deformities and other spinal disorders often requires surgical intervention, in which two metal screws are placed into parts of the vertebrae called pedicles and joined at adjacent vertebral levels with metal rods. However, patients with osteoporosis (and thus poor bone quality) are susceptible to screw pullout during the procedure. At the same time, osteoporotic patients stand to gain the most from the procedure.
Rather than reinvent the effective and well-established procedure of pedicle screw fixation, this E-Team is aiming to rebuild the strength of screw fixation in the pedicles by shifting the forces experienced by weak inner bone to strong outer bone. They call this method Corticoplasty™, and the device used in this approach will act as an intermediary between the bone-screw interface and provide a strong interference fit for existing screws in osteoporotic patients.
Every day as clinicians perform their morning rounds, patients are asked whether they have been using their incentive spirometer, an inexpensive bedside device that promotes deep breathing with a visual feedback mechanism. Current clinical protocol suggests performing deep breathing exercises using the incentive spirometers ten times per hour as a preventative measure to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications that include atelectasis, pneumonia, and bronchitis. As a testimony to their efficacy, incentive spirometers are provided to every single patient who undergoes general anesthesia. Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell if a patient has actually been using the spirometer, forcing clinicians to rely on patient memory, which is neither objective nor accurate in the post-operative period.
This E-Team is designing an electronic, disposable incentive spirometer that will quantify when a patient uses it. The device is designed to allow hospital staff to monitor patient usage and lung capacity performance—features not possible with current embodiments. Ultimately, the team hopes to expand into the full spirometry market to help diagnose non-hospitalized patients for conditions such as pneumonia.
For the past two years, The Center for Bioengineering Design, a Course and Program Grant-funded initiative at Johns Hopkins University, has provided bioengineering graduate students the tools and support to develop new medical devices.
One of the Center's team design projects was recently given a licensing deal with Seguro Surgical, a Maryland company specializing in the commercialization of surgical instrumentation.
"SeguroSurgical's…product line (the Lap-Pak) was borne out of one of our design team projects," says instructor Robert Allen. The Lap-Pak is a device that cleanly and quickly repositions the bowel during a surgery.

Roughly 1.4 million lower extremity fractures, including 950,000 to the ankle, occur annually in the US. The majority of these musculoskeletal injuries require some type of physical therapy. Because the total cost involved in diagnosis, surgery, or rehabilitation of such injuries amounts to billions of dollars, this E-Team from John Hopkins University developed a low-cost foot sensor that aids patients in recovery.
Research shows that patients recover faster with limited weight-bearing programs, but gauging how much pressure to apply to the injury before doing harm is difficult. The team's foot sensor measured the pressure and alerted patients if they put too much pressure on their injury. Patients could adjust the pressure threshold according to the nature of the injury, the severity, and progress in rehabilitation.
The E-Team consisted of ten undergraduate students enrolled in a year-long biomedical engineering course sequence with skills in computer programming and computer, biomedical, and electrical engineering. The students worked under the umbrella of Homewood Biomedical Design Associates, a university-based corporation. An engineering professor worked with the team, along with an engineering lecturer, the clinical director of Physiotherapy Associates, and the president and founder of Venture Quest, Inc., a management firm.
Johns Hopkins University, 2007 - $20,000

Over 400,000 premature births occur each year in the US, accounting for over $6 billion in annual health care spending. Statistics suggest that the number of premature births is rising, despite advances in prenatal care. Premature birth is associated with higher risk of maternal and infant death, and debilitating infant illnesses such as cerebral palsy, autism, mental retardation, and vision and hearing impairments. Currently, several tools on the market predict pre-term delivery, however the available diagnostic methods do not function early enough to safely and consistently administer labor-suppressing drugs.
This E-Team developed a cervical bioimpedance system that predicts the onset of birth early enough to safely administer preventative drugs. The system detects very subtle changes in cervical tissue composition, which indicate when the cervix is readying for childbirth. The system is composed of an electrode probe with a disposable sterile plastic tip containing the circuitry necessary to measure bioimpedance.
Update: the team has successfully licensed the technology (details not available).
Johns Hopkins University, 2004 - $12,000
This E-Team developed a new device designed for the early detection of acute renal failure (ARF). The device uses laser technology and Raman spectroscopy to provide data on metabolite excretion rates in near real-time (high levels of metabolite excretion are indicative of ARF). The device enables the detection of ARF in hospitalized patients up to 48 hours earlier than current detection methods. The detection of other biomarkers using this device is also possible, making the device useful in aiding with a number of clinical diagnoses.
ARF is seen in 5% of all hospitalized patients, and 4-15% of all patients who undergo cardiovascular surgery. It accounts for 30,000 deaths per year. Current detection methods are not effective in providing early detection of the disease, which is essential to effective treatment. By providing early detection capabilities, this device can give healthcare providers a jump start on effectively treating ARF.
Johns Hopkins University, 2004 - $14,400
This E-Team developed the EEG Keyboard, a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) typewriter system capable of translating electroencephalogram signals generated from electrical activity in the brain into characters on a screen. Electrodes are attached to the user's scalp, and he or she chooses characters either by focusing on a certain row or column in a flashing six-by-six matrix or by staring at a region of the screen flashing at a certain known frequency. Initially the product was targeted at the Locked-In Syndrome (LIS) community--individuals with paralysis of all voluntary muscles in the body, leaving them virtually unable to communicate.
The E-Team consisted of two professors of biomedical engineering (one of which won the 2003 BCI competition), eight biomedical engineering undergraduates, and three faculty advisors: one from neurology, one from biomedical engineering, and one from business.
Johns Hopkins University, 2006 - $18,500
Each year, approximately 550,000 osteoporotic patients in the US suffer from compression fractures that require pedicle screws in order to reconstruct the spine. These patients are currently given pain management treatments instead of pedicle screws, however, because osteoporotic bone isn't strong enough to hold the screws in, or prevent them from falling out. This E-Team plans to solve the problem by developing a pull-out resistant pedicle screw. The novel design, based on a vertebral compression fracture treatment known as kyphoplasty, consists of a two-part screw involving a hollow capture chamber and a threaded inner screw. The hollow chamber is inserted into the vertebral body, then the inner screw is brought through the chamber into a wet cement adhesive. As the cement cures, the stickiness of the screw is enhanced, providing greater pull-out resistance.

People with ankle problems such as arthritis often wear supportive devices to help them walk. Traditionally ankle braces have been custom manufactured to meet specific patient needs, but in recent years there has been a movement toward prefabricated devices. While current prefabricated devices are capable of completely supporting the ankle, they often suffer from a lack of durability: the junction between the footplate and the upper support fails. Due to the high failure rates of existing products, physicians have voiced a need for a structurally sound and supportive ankle brace.
This E-Team is hoping to fill the need by designing a brace that incorporates the idea of recoil energy. The design includes a one-piece "sock" structure to allow for a greater fitting range, a resilient carbon-fiber foot-shin plate to provide the lever action that alleviates pressure at the ankle during walking, and stress distribution, particularly around the foot-plate strut joint that typically fails.

Every year more than 500,000 coronary artery bypass surgeries are performed worldwide. While autografting (taking tissue from one part of the body and moving it to another) is the preferred technique, there are limitations: autografts cannot be obtained multiple times from one patient, and they fail when the patient lacks healthy blood vessels. Synthetic polymers are used in cases of weak blood vessels, but not when making small diameter vascular grafts (less than five mm) due to risks of stenosis (abnormal narrowing of a bodily canal or passageway), and thrombosis (a clot of coagulated blood attached at the site of formation in a blood vessel).
To fill the need for small diameter vascular grafts for people with weak blood vessels, this E-Team is developing the Hydrogel Microfiber, a hollow, polymeric cylinder in which living endothelial cells can be encapsulated. Concentric layers can be added to this fiber, each containing its own cell population. Once implanted in the patient, the cells in the fiber grow over time and eventually become fully integrated with the vessel wall.

Rotavirus, a disease affecting children age five and younger, kills 600,000 people every year in the developing world. The virus infects the villi of the small intestines, leading to severe diarrhea, vomiting, high fever and dehydration. While rotavirus vaccines exist, they are currently delivered only in liquid form in a syringe, making the vaccine difficult to administer to infants and requiring expensive refrigeration to maintain. Building on thin film technology such as the popular Listerine Breath Strips, this E-Team is developing a method of delivering a rotavirus vaccine orally, on thin film. The team believes this design will have many advantages over current syringe-based methods, including simplifying storage and distribution due to the film's light weight and ability to be stored without refrigeration, and easier delivery to infants.

Spinal fusion is a surgical procedure in which two or more vertebrae are fused together to relieve pain stemming from degenerative disc disease, spinal fractures, and other sources of back pain. The preferred surgical method is Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF), where the disc is removed through an incision over the lumbar spine and a structural titanium cage and bone graft are inserted in its place. While this approach is less invasive than others and leads to lower trauma and complication rates, the small space in which to work and the vulnerability of local nerves make the surgery time-consuming and difficult to perform. Further, traditional cages have fixed dimensions and must be coaxed into the spine, possibly causing nerve damage.
This E-Team is developing a new approach to the procedure with an expandable fusion cage. The flexible titanium cage will be compressed during insertion and expanded during the positioning phase of the procedure. When the device is fit into the spine, a balloon will be inflated, expanding the cage to the exact size necessary and filling in all available space.

Central Venous Pressure (CVP) is the pressure of blood in the thoracic vena cava, near the right atrium of the heart. CVP reflects the amount of blood returning to the heart and the ability of the heart to pump the blood into the arterial system, and is a key parameter used in diagnosing serious conditions like heart failure and monitoring patient fluid levels. Currently the only method of accurately measuring CVP involves surgically inserting a catheter through a major vein, which is costly, highly invasive, and can lead to complications. For these reasons, CVP measurements are usually only taken for critical patients, even though early detection could help treat conditions like congestive heart failure.
This E-Team is developing a small handheld device, called cVein, that provides a noninvasive and accurate method of measuring CVP. Using an ultrasound machine to visualize the internal jugular (IJ) vein, the operator applies pressure to the vein with cVein. The device records the pressure required to collapse the IJ and displays the reading to the operator. This quick and noninvasive measurement method could be used in emergency or primary care settings, allowing for earlier diagnosis of problems.

Negative Pressure Ventilation (NPV) is the mechanism by which bodies breath naturally; air passively flows into the lungs due to the negative pressure of the diaphragm movement. This team's idea is to address the problem of increased mortality due to the detrimental effects of Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV), when paramedics manually force air into the lungs using a bag valve mask. PPV can lead to longer hospital discharge times.
The team developed a prototype that electronically stimulates the phrenic nerve in the neck, forcing the diaphragm to take in air. Their prototype includes a neck electrode patch to deliver pulses to the phrenic nerve, a feedback system to determine if the patient is breathing, a stimulation unit that is battery powered and rechargeable, and software for a tablet PC to control the stimulation and the breathing rate.

This E-Team is developing a motorized head-moving device that effectively diagnoses dizziness. Dizziness is the number one medical complaint among the elderly and the third most frequent complaint that brings people to primary care and emergency rooms. Dizziness often leads to falls, which can be fatal or cause serious bodily injury, and result in billions of dollars in health care fees. While many causes of dizziness are treatable, current diagnostic techniques are complicated, costly, and uncomfortable for patients.
The team's device, D3, is simple, user-friendly, and reliable. The patient wears a helmet and places a "bite bar" in their mouth that has been molded to their dentition. A video camera monitors eye rotation responses while head is rotated.

The Negative X-ray Rapid System is a device that utilizes software to detect retained foreign bodies (RFBs) in post-surgical x-rays. RFBs--surgical instruments left inside the patient's body after surgery--can cause medical complications, result in death in up to 35% of cases, and almost always require a second operation to remove the forgotten item. Right now, the process of obtaining and analyzing post-surgical x-rays is laborious and expensive. The Negative X-ray Rapid System will dramatically reduce the resources needed to obtain a negative x-ray without compromising accuracy.

Despite a number of advances in cancer detection technologies, the development of clinically validated, blood-based cancer biomarkers remains an unmet challenge for many common cancers. Better markers would lead to earlier detection, saving lives and cutting down on hospital costs. A new method, the DNA Integrity Assay (DIA) has the potential to accurately discriminate cancerous cells from normal cells for a wide range of cancers, but its clinical acceptance has been limited due to the complexity of the test, sampling errors, and the high cost of the materials, instruments and highly trained personnel needed to run it.
This E-Team is developing a new DIA testing method called smDIA (single molecule assessment of DNA integrity), which has the potential to eliminate errors and reduce the costs associated with the traditional DIA approach. In this method, a patient's DNA sample (blood, stool, etc.) is transported by a microfluidic device through a sheet of laser beams (Cylindrical Illumination Confocal Spectroscopy), enabling direct analysis of the patient's DNA integrity in a rapid, uniform manner.

Are You Excited to See Kristin Cavallari on The Hills?
by POPSUGAR Celebrity 66 Reactions 0 Shares Print
In case you somehow missed it, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt tied the knot in LA over the weekend (check out a ton of photos here), and Kristin Cavallari was one of their many guests. The former Laguna Beach star also just happened to catch Heidi's bouquet while the cameras were rolling. Last time we asked you were pretty split on whether she would be a welcome addition to the cast. So tell us — are you excited to see Kristin on The Hills?

(RNN) - Contrary to popular belief, Cinco de Mayo isn't Mexican Independence Day. It actually marks the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, when Mexican troops defeated invading French forces during the Franco-Mexican War.
The battle lasted only a matter of hours, but the celebration continues today in the form of Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for "The fifth of May."
Here's a look at Cinco de Mayo by the numbers:
2,000: Number of Mexican soldiers who defended the town of Puebla against 6,000 invading French forces.
31.8 million: The number of U.S. residents of Mexican origin, according to the 2010 Census.
70.5 million: Pounds of avocado Americans will eat on Cinco de Mayo.
20: Types of Mexican cheeses to be feasted on. Oaxaca, a white cheese from Southern Mexico, is the most prominent.
11: Percent of arable land in Mexico. Only 3 percent is irrigated.
60: Percent of Mexican farmers who produce corn, mostly used in the production or tortillas, and beans.
1925: Year Corona Extra, Mexico's best-selling beer, was first brewed.
150: Countries where Corona can be purchased.
4: Corona's rank among the best-selling beers in the world.
1795: Birth year of Jose Cuervo. Cuervo claims to be the first producer of tequila in the world.
1519: Year Hernan Cortes, the Spanish conqueror of Mexico, first set foot on the nation's soil.
1917: Mexico's constitution was ratified Feb. 5 of this year.
71: Years that the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which formed in 1929, ruled Mexico's national government.
3: Mexico is almost three times the size of Texas.
31: States in Mexico.
113 million: Population of Mexico as of July 2010. Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country and the 11th most populous country in the world.
22 million: Estimated population of the capital, Mexico City, the world's most populous city.
77: Percent of Mexican population that is Roman Catholic.

12 oz. bottle poured into a chalice.
Appearance: Pours a dark brown color, slightly ruby in the light. Off-white head is small but dense; leaves a bit of lacing as well.
Smell: Earthy aroma, with some caramel and alcohol.
Taste: Strong caramel component. A little whisky-barrel action going on, but not much peat. Somewhat bitter finish and aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Generally smooth, with light carbonation and light- to medium-bodied.
Drinkability: Not much alcohol in the taste, thankfully, but somewhat tiring.
A decent barleywine - quite smooth, but the flavor becomes a bit tiring to me. Love the label, though!!

I loved this beer! Was looking for something different, new and exciting. A bit pricey, but I'll do it for every BREWDOG collaboration.
Tulip pour.
A. Looks beautiful at first glance, and even better after a settle. BRONZE in appearance, light carbonation, looks just right. Minimal head, right up my alley.
S. Very strong, you can definitely tell this was barrel aged. Scotch man all day, so this fit my fancy.
T. Instant explosion, almost unbearable, but every sip afterwards becomes more inviting. Starts off strong with a tempered middle and a glorious aftertaste.
Probably won't buy again, but I have one I'll lay down for a few months and bust it out with some friends after it's all sold out.
Purchased 2.24.12 upon request of beer god Evan Hendrix at my local Whole Foods in Bend, Oregon.

Pours a burgundy brown with an off white head that holds its own at the edges. Smells of peat and Scotch, that's for sure. There's some rich caramel in the background. Scotch, Scotch, Scotch. Peated smokiness. Some stinging hoppyness on the nose too, blended with the alcohol, it's really quite menacing. Wow. This is challenging. It's not entirely unpleasant, but it's pretty rampantly "out there." On the palate, the Scotch is very prominent, fades a bit to let some caramel malt sweetness rise, then rises up again in a smoky, scotch-y finish. Notes of charcoal. The alcohol is barely felt or tasted, which is surprising at 11.5% ABV. Smoky, band-aid-y phenols. Overall, it tastes like an adulterated scotch. That being said, and in all seriousness, I'm not a big Scotch fan, so it shouldn't be a surprise that I'm not digging this. However, I read the label, and in my American mind, the bit about being aged in Whisky barrels sounded good. Stupidly, I was expecting Bourbon Whiskey and I got Scotch Whisky… should have known,totally my error… I can't ding this one too badly for that mistake on my part. I do have to give credit for being pretty well balanced despite the massive alcohol and the "unsuppressable" notes of Scotch Whisky with beer. That being said, I have not yet had a hoppy beer that tastes good with Scotch barrel aging. Efforts should probably stop. This is a pretty challenging beer. However, pairing with a strong blue cheese stuffed inside green olives made for a really nice experience. I don't think I'd drink this again without that kind of pairing. On its own, it was just a bit too outlandish for me. The $12.99 for a 12-oz bottle just sets one up for disappointment as well.

Bottle (2011)
Stone Brew. Co.
Escondido, CA
Deep auburn in color with a quickly disappearing light khaki colored head. This doesn't leave much more than a few clinging bubbles to the glass.
The aroma is terrible, though in all fairness, the taste was worse. The aroma is a combination of burnt wood, rubber, campfire, a drag strip, and burnt sugars.
The flavor is awful. A few of the descriptors I heard friends offer in defense of this beer:
"Burnt tire"
"Burnt rubber"
"Campfire deliciousness"
"Huge tobacco note...yeeeeaaah"
"Perhaps the worst beer I've ever had"
Medium bodied with low to moderate carbonation.
Disgusting, vile stuff.

According to the bottle, this beer was brewed in August of 2010 and is best before 2016.
Not a particularly appealing beer looks-wise, this beer has lots of sediment visible in the cloudy, muddy brown liquid. The head was about a quarter finger thick, fizzy and rapidly dissipated into a thin lace at the center of the beer. There's steady carbonation apparent and not much else of note.
I get a lot of raisin on the nose, as well as the peaty aroma of whiskey, some boozy astringency and dark fruit. The raisin and peat are most prominent. There's also a bit of a smoky charcoal aroma.
Woosa, this beer is very whiskey-like! A huge, smokey, peaty flavor hits the mouth immediately and lingers strongly on my tongue. With the highly carbonated mouthfeel, this adds a tingling tongue sensation that almost reminds me of what a Seven and Seven would feel and taste like. There are some sweet caramelly notes and earthy hops in there too, it just takes a minute to discover them with the intensity of the previously mentioned flavor notes. As I continue to drink, the raisin notes from the nose emerge a bit as well.
I don't detect any alcohol astringency, despite the whiskey presence, so the beer drinks relatively smoothly. The aftertaste is intense and not faint for the heart, if smokiness and charcoal don't sound appealing to you, I don't advise drinking this, however, I am enjoying it.
I'd say there are deficiencies with this beer and it's not perfect, but it is quite an adventure and a beer I'm not likely to forget. However, I think I paid a pretty penny for this beer and can't justify that again.

330ml bottle shared with mulder1010, purchased from Slowbeer and poured into a Tripel Karmeliet tulip style glass.
Pours a reddish brown with a mother of pearl coloured head of foam that has good head retention. Impressive looking barleywine.
Smells peaty and smoky with some band aid aroma. Very islay malt whisky though surprisingly this is aged for 8 months in Jura whisky barrels. No sign of the underlying beer.
With the taste there is some sweetness, not a lot, this is dominated by the whisky ageing. Very peaty and smoky and one dimensional in this regard.
Mouthfeel is dominated from the flavours, the underlying beer would be good by itself, but it is the smokiness that reigns supreme in this regard.
I don't mind barrel ageing overall, but i believe it is important to be able to taste the base beer to determine the (positive or in this case, potentially negative) impact of the barrel ageing.

Thanks to Sweemzander for sharing this one.
(A) - Dark burnt orange, brownish, copper, clean with slight bubbled head. Leaves lacing
(S) - Smells of booze. Oak and whiskey. Some fig, leather, some heat
(T) - Smoked peat, generally smokey, decent amount of hops. Almost a smoked jerky taste to it.
(M) - Somewhat grainy, ends slightly dry. Medium to full body.
(O) - A lot more peat than I expected. More of a smokiness that is definitely a different spin on a BW.

Massive thanks goes out to the individual (hit me up if this was you so I can give proper credit!) who shared this one with the group at the "Evening Wood" tasting graciously hosted by cmrillo! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller flute. Poured red-orange with a half finger off-white head that subsided to a minimal amount quickly. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt and smoke. The flavor was of sweet malt, smoke, citrus, and smoky hop. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this was a pretty nice brew. Holy smokey Barleywine Batman!!! This was not at all what I was expecting, but I rather enjoyed it. The smokey flavor worked really well in this brew, but it did rob a lot from the typical Barleywine flavor and aroma profile. The aroma was smokey as crap which pretty much dominated the nose. At least the flavor allowed a little citrus to come through before smoking out your palate. I liked it... If you like smoke get this one your palate. If not, avoid at all costs.

Once again, we are beginning the search for the 2015 Bay Area Anarchist Book Fair.
After the 2014 event, we received a lot of feedback about The Crucible as a venue. Vendors and attendees liked that it was accessible by BART, had food vendors, people could hang out outside, and the building had multiple meeting rooms. The main criticisms we heard were that it was noisy, hot, and congested. We will be considering the Crucible again with modifications (scheduling the bookfair on a day when there are no classes/furnaces are off, rearranging the layout, opening the roll-up doors for ventilation, etc).
We will also be opening the search and considering new venues before committing to the Crucible. Could you help us?
Here are the criteria we use to select a venue:
- Ability to accommodate 100+ tables (6ft x 2.5 ft) for vendors – approximately 6,000+ square feet
- Indoor
- Near public transportation
- Approximately $3000 or less for one day (or max $5500 if it includes chair/tables)
- 2 to 3 meeting rooms separate from the vendor area (2 meeting rooms with 50 person capacity and one room with 150 person capacity are ideal)
- Wheelchair accessible
- Is all ages
- Does not require us to hire off-duty police officers as security
- Prefer a venue where there is an outdoor area to hang out in that is not the street/sidewalk
- Prefer to sell/serve our own food and have no requirement to buy food/beverage from the venue
- Available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on a Saturday in late March 2015 or early April 2015 plus ability to load/unload tables and chairs and set up/break down on Friday evening/Monday morning.
- Is in San Francisco or Oakland
Following is an annotated list of all of the venues we considered last year. We will be revisiting many of them again as potential locations for 2015. Several of the possible venues did not return our phone calls or emails (3 to 5 attempts each). If you have a personal connection to that venue, or if you have a connection that might help us get a reduced rate at one of the larger venues, please contact us ASAP.
Our goal is to book a venue in August, 2014. If you have information or a lead on a venue, please get in touch with us by July 15, 2014 at email@example.com.
Please note that given the political nature of this event, the committee is not willing to sign any contract with a clause that says the event may be cancelled at any time without notice (this includes City College of San Francisco and any San Francisco Unified School District Facility, as noted below).

Adam Glick Wins A-Sun Player of the Week
MACON, Ga. - In the A-Sun Game of the Week, UNF forward Adam O'Neill netted two goals to earn his first career Player of the Week. FGCU goalkeeper Adam Glick anchored the Eagles defense to pick up his fourth shutout of the season to earn his third career Defensive Player of the Week award, the conference announced Monday.
O'Neill posted his goals to help the Ospreys finish the season with a 3-0, win against Coastal Carolina. He tops the UNF squad in goals (8) and assists (4) and is third in the conference in points (20). The London, England native is part of the programs' highest winning team since UNF made the transition into Division I.
Sophomore Glick held the Eagles defense and picked up his fourth shutout of the season in FGCU's 2-0, win against FAU on Saturday night. Glick notched six saves in goal for FGCU. The business major is fourth in the A-Sun with a 1.36 goals against average. He also ranks fourth in the A-Sun with four shutouts and 66 saves.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life, with a focus on academic and athletic integrity and a balance between the two for the student-athlete, and maintaining a high level of sportsmanship. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun encompasses six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun consists of some of the most dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.
Other Top Performers
Aaron Johnson, CAM (Sr. - GK - St. Charles, Mo. - Business Administration) - Johnson ran his scoreless string to 570 minutes with his sixth-consecutive shutout as 24th-ranked Campbell defeated High Point 2-0 for the Camels' 11th-straight win. Johnson also moved into second place on A-Sun and school charts for career shutouts (21) after tying Peter Moore's 1986 Campbell record with his ninth of the 2008 campaign. He leads the A-Sun in goals-against average (0.83), save percentage (.808) and shutouts (9) and has played all 1632 minutes in the nets for the Camels this year.
Francesco DiStefano, FGCU (Fr. - MF - Kissimmee, Fla. - Sports Management) - DiStefano registered a goal and an assist in the Eagles 2-0 win over FAU on Saturday night. DiStefano's goal gives him six on the season, tying him for first on the team.

Man, 90, dies after Clitheroe car collision
10:11pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Lawrence Dunhill, Health Reporter
A 90-YEAR-OLD pedestrian has died four days after a crash in Clitheroe.
Police said Stuart Beal was discharged from hospital the day after the collision in Railway View Avenue, but his condition worsened over the next few days and he was pronounced dead this morning.
The crash, involving a Toyota Corolla, happened at about 11.35am on Thursday, as Mr Beal crossed Railway View Avenue from Church Walk.
Police said the car was driving towards the town centre and Mr Beal cut his head after being knocked to the ground.
He was taken to Royal Blackburn Hospital where his injuries were initially believed to be minor, but was kept in overnight and discharged on Friday, officers said.
However, his condition worsened and he was pronounced dead at home at 3.30am, officers added.
Sergeant Finn Quainton, of Lancashire Constabulary's Force Road Policing, said: "This is a tragic incident and our thoughts are with Mr Beal's family.
"The Toyota Corolla had just emerged from Clitheroe Health Centre car park when the collision took place.
"An investigation is underway but I would appeal to anybody that witnessed this collision or with any information that could assist with our investigation to contact Lancashire Police on 101."

KSP Graduates Thirty-Three Teens From Driving Academy
Date of News Release: 09/12/2011
(Frankfort, Ky.) -- Thirty-three students from thirty different schools throughout the state graduated from the KSP 'Drive to Stay Alive' (DTSA) academy. The program ran from September 7 11, 2011 and was held at the KSP Training Academy in Frankfort.
The 'Drive to Stay Alive' program teaches the students safe driving techniques by KSP instructors with hands-on road driving and classroom exercises, including the dangers of driving impaired, seat belt safety, distracted and aggressive driving.
Public Affairs Branch Commander Capt. David Jude explained that the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program was designed not only to decrease teen crashes but to provide students with the tools to be advocates in their own communities.
"The training includes topics such as collision causation, vehicle dynamics and skid control, backing skills, multiple turns and lane interchange, safety belts and air bags, evasive maneuvers, off-road recovery, and controlled braking," advises Jude.
"We focus heavily on distracted and inattentive driving which is prevalent in this particular age group," says Jude.
According to Jude, the real potential of the 'Drive to Stay Alive' program begins after the students return to their school.
"The students are teamed with an experienced state trooper to spread the message to the student body in each school and to their community as well," he says. "The effectiveness of the program is based on the concept that a message conveyed by a fellow student carries more weight with other students and is therefore more memorable."
The DTSA students are evaluated and scored on the safe driving programs they present in their respective schools and communities. The students with the most effective programs, resulting in increased seat belt usage, are eligible for scholarship funds.
The DTSA program is funded through KSP and a grant from State Farm Insurance Company.
Last year in Kentucky, teen drivers accounted for 21,870 collisions. Of that figure, there were 83 fatal crashes.
"The goal of this program is to decrease teen fatalities on Kentucky roadways," says KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. "Nationally, motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death among teenagers. Programs like 'Drive To Stay Alive' are directly impacting the Commonwealth by resulting in a decrease in teen highway deaths."
Commissioner Brewer believes the 'Drive To Stay Alive' program will have a lasting effect on these teens.
"These students have a unique opportunity to make a real difference," says Brewer. "They can help influence on-the-road driving behaviors and save lives on Kentucky's roadways. It's a very worthwhile goal that will require dedication on their part, but it's worth it if they save even one life. It could be their own, their best friend, a neighbor or a family member."

Losses like this feel like a punch to the gut.
The Braves forced an early exit for Roy Halladay, but a pair of late-inning Phillies homers led to an 8-5 loss.
Ryan Howard hit the first pitch from Mike Minor in the second inning for the first score of the game. Atlanta put two on in each of the first two innings, but failed to produce a hit with runners on base until Paul Janish singled with two outs in the fourth. Unfortunately, Chipper Jones was thrown out at the plate in a collision with catcher Erik Kratz.
Martin Prado, though, turned the game around in the fifth. With Minor on first and one out, Prado clubbed a two-run homer to left to give Atlanta the lead. The home run was the 50th of Prado's career, but the Braves weren't done. Halladay walked Chipper with two outs before Freddie Freeman crushed a home run of his own to center to give Atlanta a 4-1 lead. That homer signaled the end for Halladay, who also walked four.
The Phillies answered back in the sixth inning with three straight singles to load the bases before Ryan Howard chased Minor with a lazy two-run single that dropped in center. A sacrifice fly by Ty Wigginton against Chad Durbin tied the game at four.
Leading off the bottom of the sixth, Dan Uggla untied the game with a long home run to center off reliever Jeremy Horst, giving Atlanta a 5-4 lead.
With one out in the eighth, Paul Janish lined a double off Phillippe Aumont. After a throwing error, Janish was at third with two outs when Aumont fired a wild pitch that likely could've scored him. Whatever the reason was, Janish did not try to score and the inning ended two pitches later, a much-needed insurance run stranded 90 feet away.
Craig Kimbrel was summoned to put the Phillies away in the ninth, but an 0-2 pitch to Erik Kratz was belted for a game-tying home run. The game only got worse in extra innings. Following a leadoff single and an intentional walk to Howard, John Mayberry launched a three-run homer off Cristhian Martinez for the final runs of the game.

Meatless Monday Bento 7
I swear Mondays come around more often than any other day of the week!
And here it is again.
The upside is that I get pack a vegetarian bento for Saba Man. Today's lunch, or I should say dinner because Saba Man is working an oddball shift today, is a melange of previously fried tofu, asparagus, carrots, sesame, shoyu, mirin, ginger and garlic.
I've separated this mix from the hapa-rice with plastic baran; something I don't normally use but glad to have because I've run out of fresh lettuce of shiso leaf.
Champagne grapes, cherry tomato and a pinch of beni-shoga complete this meal-to-go!

NJIT Architecture Students Receive $25,000 Grand Prize for Townhouse Design
The NJIT College of Architecture and Design (COAD) has received the $25,000 grand prize for 2010 from the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB) for a small modern townhouse. Architecture students developed the design last semester for the Newark Chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Entitled "The Box and Beyond," the project illustrated how even on a budget, good design can prevail. According to NCARB, the prize honored the creative integration of practice and education. Five additional prize recipients received awards of $7,500.
"NJIT has always prided itself on its connectivity to the profession and that we continually strive to make architectural education relevant," said NJIT associate professor Darius Sollohub, who taught the class. Working with Sollohub was NJIT alumnus and affordable housing expert Jak Inglese, Inglese Architecture and Engineering, East Rutherford, a licensed New Jersey architect and engineer. The class helped students successfully bridge the hypothetical with the pragmatic.
To design the house, students met with architects, engineers, city planners, sustainability consultants, Habitat staff, and current owners of Habitat-built homes to create the winning design, a runner-up design, and six honorable mentions that Habitat for Humanity would consider for future projects.
The student who produced the winning design, Alex Merlucci, of Kinnelon, and runner-up winner Cara Constantino, of Bloomfield, received an internship with Inglese to advance the house through the construction documents phase.
This fall, the entire studio expects to return and build the house that they helped design. Area participants will include Anthony Allocca, Florham Park; Daniel Chelchowski, Kenilworth; Sherry Edwards, West Milford; Shannon Hohlbein, Pennington; Edward Lay, Piscataway; Joan Lui, South Brunswick; Colin McArdle, Atco; Ala Rustom, Wayne; and Allison Termyna, Clifton. Others will include Peter Tobiassen, McLean, VA and Katherine Cerniglia, Lindenhurst, NY.
According to the NCARB Prize jury, the project incorporated excellent involvement of an outside architect in a real world context and taught involvement and commitment beyond its architectural lessons. It also balanced the professional and technical learning with social and cultural realms.
"In our collaboration with Habitat," added Sollohub, "we are committed to previewing the building experience for our students. This effort is evident in our annual masonry competition during which professional masons work here with our students to build student-designed bricks and mortar small structures. This and other projects continue a strong tradition of interdisciplinary work at COAD. Helpful too has been the availability of our colleagues--sustainability experts Paul Romano and Christine Bruncati--at the NJIT Center for Building Knowledge."
The NCARB Prize encourages, rewards, and showcases architecture programs that excel in integrating practice and education in an academic setting. Projects must be for credit, integrate non-faculty architect practitioners, and have started no earlier than fall 2008 and completed or in progress by fall 2010. Projects must also be innovative. Since 2002, the NCARB Prize has recognized 68 projects and has awarded over $500,000 to programs accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB) and programs that are candidates for NAAB accreditation.

These are true life stories about the adventures of a young man who in 1975 goes to work in the offshore oil fields of Southern Louisiana. He discovers a WORLD OF MEN--of dirt and sweat. The men he meets are unforgettable--local legends who get the job done--no matter what the cost to themselves!
Men who drink and fight...at every opportunity--because they don't know when or IF they'll get the next chance. These are unknown--and unsung--heroes who risked their lives daily so that the rest of us can put gasoline in our cars. Men like them continue to toil offshore around the world in the search for Black Gold.
