From the 1940s into the early 1960s, hundreds of scientists and engineers worldwide pursued efforts in microcircuitry—miniaturized, integrated electronic circuits. By tracing the diverse activities and alternatives they explored—from early printed wiring to semiconductor integrated circuit efforts—this article provides the first comprehensive overview of the early history of microcircuitry.

4. Our review centers on printed circuit developments in the US and UK that were directly linked to microcircuitry efforts. This is by no means the full story of printed circuitry and wiring. Indeed, as M. Mills has identified in "Hearing Aids and the History of Electronics Miniaturization," IEEE Annals for the History of Computing, vol. 33, no. 2, 2011, pp. 24–44, the history of printed circuitry, printed wiring, and indeed photoetching can be traced to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. See, for example, K. Petherbridge, P. Evans, and D. Harrison, "The Origins and Evolution of the PCB: A Review," Circuit World, vol. 31, no. 1, 2005, pp. 41–45. We also thank one of the reviews of this article for drawing our attention to German efforts in printed wiring during the 1930s and 1940s. The company Hescho created a successful line of radio and other electronic components based on a proprietary ceramic and its ability to form fired printed or painted coils on it. It does not appear, however, that Hescho pursued microcircuitry. See Alfred O. Baurer, "The Significance of German Electronic Engineering in the 1930s," Foundation: Centre for German Communication and Related Technology 1920–1945, 2004.

Make Every Day International Women's Day
For nearly a century, March 8th has been recognized around the world as International Women's Day. I plan to mark the occasion by celebrating the strong, intelligent, caring and joyous women that I am proud to have as family and friends. But I also challenge myself and everyone to go one step further: Use today to take an action in support of equal rights for women and girls.
- Educate Yourself: Read Half the Sky. Check out the Girl Up video to see the mind-bogglingly awful choices faced by millions of women the world over on a daily basis. Learn about the United Nation's take on how empowering women may be a step towards peace. Anything to get smarter about the realities faced by women and girls around the world.
- Support an Organization that Targets Aid to Women and Girls: Make a donation to a group that helps stop gender violence in the developing world. Volunteer at a local domestic violence shelter. Take on a mentor role for a young girl in your community. The possibilities are endless, but the key is to do something positive today to impact a woman or girl tomorrow.
- Remember Your Inner Girl: Most of us grew up with parents, teachers and coaches telling us we can be anything we want to be. I bet Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow has an adult or two to thank for encouraging her to pursue a career and a life not typically seen as one for a woman. By remembering that girl who thought anything was possible on a daily basis, you won't need an annual event like International Women's Day to remind you that millions of women and girls out there need our help to protect and enhance their human rights.

Archives For Book Review
I just finished reading The Sabbath by Abraham Joshua Heschel. Really good read. I would totally recommend it to all. I can say this-my understanding of the sabbath is now more spiritual as opposed to legalistic. As much as my generation craves work, success, technology, and adventure-we also crave rest and slowing down to enjoy the things we have created and the fruit of our labor. I think we are becoming more conscience of time and reality and we are seeking to find ways to slow-down and enjoy the journey.
From the book:
To gain control of the world of space is certainly one of our tasks. The danger begins when in gaining power in the realm of space we forfeit all aspirations in the realm of time. There is a realm in time where the goal is not to have but to be, not to own but to give, not to control but to share, not to subdue but to be in accord. Life goes wrong when the control of space, the acquisition of things of space , becomes our sole concern.
So if you are looking for a breath taking story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Then I recommend A Long Way Gone: Memoirs Of A Boy Soldier.
It's a true story of Ismael Beah. Ismael takes us on a horrendous journey. He does a great job of bringing the reader into the story. I felt like I was walking with him…I could see his smile, feel his pain. I heard the sound of the bullets, the cracking of the machetes and fear thumping through my soul. I felt as if I was walking with him, from village to village…I could see the African sky, smell the food and sense the tension of war.
Yes, It's a gripping read, about a boy who's life is turned upside down by the evil of war. It will make you sad, it will make you mad, and yes at times it will make you cry. Sometimes you think that this story can't be true, that evil does not exist in this way. I wish I was right. But I'm not.
It seems to take a story to cause change. I know all about all these global issues. But truthfully it seems hard to grasp. That is until you know someone. There becomes an emotional attachment, a certain friendship. The story becomes real, the story become ours. It's no longer about a country across the world, it's about a boy that cries, runs, bleeds and suffers. I remember being a boy, I can't imagine the pain and suffering.
Definitely a great book. A must read. But if you read it, you will be compelled to act. And that is a good thing!

Oh dear. That was Zambia's golden opportunity to spring the upset. One on one against Jean-Jacques Gosso, Zambia ace Emmanuel Mayuka absolutely skins the Ivory Coast right back, opening up acres of space in front of him. The tournament's joint-leading scorer pushes his way towards the byline, and with just Sol Bamba get pass fires a cross... straight into the centre back. Not the young striker's finest moment, that.
Chrisamba Lungu attempts to make up for that blown chance with a rather speculative 40-yard effort that was still closer to the goal than Didier Drogba's missed spot kick a few minutes ago, but you get the feeling at this point that the match will go to extra time. For the Ivorians' sake, let's hope it doesn't go to penalties, because I don't think anyone wants to relive the one they've already taken. It's 0-0 in Libreville with about five minutes until full time.

RIR brings exposure, money to county
The construction of RIR ranks No. 21 on the list of 24 moments in Henrico history
It began 65 years ago as little more than a dusty oval at a rural fairgrounds. Today, it hosts more than a quarter-million visitors annually, is home to the only major league sporting events in Virginia and perhaps does more than any other single entity to attract national and international attention to Henrico County.
It's the Richmond International Raceway, and its legacy has earned it the No. 21 spot on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant moments in Henrico history.
The raceway holds an important spot not only in Henrico history but also in the history of its sport and NASCAR (the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing). Only three tracks (in Daytona, Fla., Martinsville, Va. and Darlington, S.C.) have continuously hosted NASCAR races at their present locations longer than RIR. Unlike many of the now-defunct tracks that hosted races in the sport's early years, RIR has survived – and thrived.
As a result, it's help stamp Henrico County on the national and international racing landscape.
"We think this adds a lot to the quality of life in this community," said RIR President Doug Fritz, who has been at the helm of the raceway since International Speedway Corporation purchased it from its longtime owners, the Sawyer family, in 1999. "We're very proud to be part of Henrico County and the history of Henrico County. Our entire life has been here in Henrico County.
The last 50 years have been great years for Henrico County, and we like to think that we're some of the reason for that success."
The raceway, which hosts two race weekends annually, generates an estimated $417 million each year in total economic impact for the Metro Richmond region and helps employ nearly 7,000 people, according to the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau. Even non-NASCAR fans who live in the county and have never attended a race feel the benefits produced by RIR.
"The economic benefit you can see both directly and indirectly," said John Vithoulkas, Henrico County finance director, who said the county receives $1 million annually in direct real estate, business license tax and business personal property tax payments and hotel taxes. "And that doesn't include sales taxes generated by all the fans."
RIR and tourism officials estimate that the track's events generate $75 million a year in overall tax revenue to the county, state and federal governments.
A changing landscape
It's hard to say how Ted Horn would fare in a modern racecar at RIR today – where drivers exceed 120 mph and sometimes race three-wide – but it's safe to say he was adequately prepared for its first official race, which he won on Oct. 12, 1946 in an open-wheel car that averaged nearly 46 mph. The track was then a half-mile dirt oval at the Atlantic Rural Exposition Fairgrounds known to some as the Strawberry Hill Speedway.
The track held its first NASCAR event April 19, 1953 – a 100-mile race won by legend Lee Petty. Two years later, Paul Sawyer and driver Joe Weatherly purchased the facility, presiding over its growing reputation that led to a second NASCAR race being added to its annual schedule in 1959. The twice-yearly schedule has continued since, and today RIR is one of 13 tracks to host two Sprint Cup Series races a year and one of only 10 to host two Nationwide Series races annually.
In 1968, the track was paved for the first time, and in 1988, it was lengthened to its current and distinctive three-quarter-mile shape. It's the only track on the NASCAR circuit of that length, and drivers and fans alike appreciate its unique elements that often result in exciting, competitive races rather than monotonous ones. RIR's capacity has grown steadily from 58,000 in 1992 to its officially listed capacity of 98,000 today (though a number of races in recent years have attracted crowds of more than 100,000). The raceway's 33-race sellout streak ended in Sept. 2008.
While many other tracks on the NASCAR circuit are located on the outskirts of cities, surrounded by asphalt and little else, RIR is clearly the product of humble beginnings, still sitting adjacent to modest neighborhoods and surrounded by industrial parks and suburban roads.
When ISC bought the facility, it was still sharing some "amenities" with its neighbor, the State Fair of Virginia.
"We still had chicken coops and horse stalls and hen houses and all that," Fritz said.
ISC and RIR have added new amenities during the past 12 years, including the Torque Club, which sits high above the track and offers spectators what Fritz calls "one of the best fan experiences you can have in any sport," and a new LED scoring tower and video screen that debuted last year, allowing every spectator to see the race leaders. Today, "we're considered one of the most premier sports facilities in this country," he said.
Fritz made a point to take advantage of the track's unique setting to develop relationships with its neighbors. He opened the facility to the community, inviting residents of Essex Village and other neighborhoods to enjoy National Night Out cookouts and take pace-car laps around the track. He's also involved track employees in a plethora of community initiatives through the years.
"It's the right thing to do," he said. "We wanted people to see that we're not just the 'Green Giant' across the street. We do care about this community, and a lot of our efforts are focused on the youth."
Wide-reaching impact
The overall impact that RIR has on Henrico County and Metro Richmond from a national and international standpoint may be difficult to judge specifically, but it's clear that the exposure it provides to the region through a sport with an estimated 75 million fans is significant. For those who watch races in person, on television or who listen on radio, Richmond International Raceway is a familiar name.
"We are drawing fans on every NASCAR weekend from all 50 states, and that's great exposure for Henrico County," Fritz said. "Some of the fans come back to visit Henrico County. And this is a part of the country that they may not have seen if not for Richmond International Raceway."
In addition to hosting two weekends of NASCAR racing every year – each of which makes the complex the eighth-largest city in Virginia for one day – the raceway complex hosts dozens of conventions, expos and shows in its expo halls throughout the year, bringing thousands more regional visitors to Henrico County.
When NASCAR switched to a new playoff system in 2004, RIR realized more good fortune as the host of the final race before the 10-race playoff began. Each year since, drivers on the fringe of the playoff chase have come to Richmond anxious to make one final push before the watchful eyes of NASCAR nation.
Late last year, the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau launched a proactive effort to encourage businesses and fans to purchase tickets to both of this year's races as a way to solidify RIR's hold on its twice-annual schedule. This year, Atlanta and Fontana, Calif., each lost one of their two races, and Fritz said there's no guarantee from year to year that any track will maintain two races.
"I feel pretty good, but we can't be complacent," he said. "This is very important for us as a community. It's not going to be easy, and it's going to take a lot of work on a lot of people's parts, including mine, to keep two races here.
"But as long as people keep supporting Richmond International Raceway, we're going to be here a long time"
Richmond International Raceway will host its 110th Sprint Cup Series race April 30, one day after it hosts the Nationwide Series race. For tickets or details, visit http://www.rir.com

Journey to mediocrity
'The Hundred-Foot Journey' fails to capitalize on tasty concept
The Hundred-Foot Journey is a curious little Romeo and Juliet of a film. A family, forced out of their native India, begins a trek across Europe.
The family's sole mode of transportation sputters and dies in a sleepy little French town, but the town's food culture is high, and that's a perfect place for a family of restaurateurs to settle down. There's only one problem – the family's rustic "Maison Mumbai" is right across the street (a hundred feet away, if the title didn't clue you in) from a prestigious French bistro with a Michelin star, run with an iron fist by the dreaded Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren, pictured).
It's here that a particular Romeo and Juliet story begins to develop, with Hassan (Manish Dayal) on the Indian side and Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) on the French side. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

When Deborah Madison wrote Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, who knew that the title would end up being so close to prophetic? The book has more than 400,000 copies in print.
I wasnt vegetarian when I started cooking from the book, shortly after its 1997 publication. But I was certainly interested in vegetables. Madison opened up a universe of possibilities for cooking them, and a streamlined, elegant, modern sensibility that made many of the vegetarian cookbooks that came before hers seem fusty by comparison. Madison has continued to write interesting, beloved books since, including last years Vegetable Literacy, but this year she decided to update her magnum opus.
The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (Ten Speed Press, 2014) is an even fresher, honed version of her formidable vision, including an easier-to-read design, 200 more recipes (for a total of more than 1,600), and a new introduction. Out: soy milk and deep-frying. In: coconut oil and the slow-cooker.
I really want to make it resonate more in the times that we live in, she told me by phone from her Santa Fe, N.M., home. Theres a whole new generation of young people who are looking for this kind of information.
Here are excerpts of our conversation:
Q: How does the book reflect some of the biggest changes in vegetarian cooking over the past two decades?
A: Theres just been kind of an explosion of ingredients. Today you have almond milk, hemp, rice, coconut all these non-dairy beverages. There are lots more possibilities for smoky flavors.
Back then, if you were a vegetarian and you were trying to work smoke in and you didnt want to use liquid smoke, your only choice was chipotle, so everything was hot. Now we have smoked paprika and smoked salt, even smoked tea. Ghee has suddenly become popular. Its not a new ingredient, just new to many of us. Or coconut oil, people are nuts about that. I love it, too.
Dairy has gotten so much better. We have access to grains we didnt then: einkorn, farro, spelt. We have red and black quinoa.
Certain things I took out. Ive never been a fan of canola oil, and I am less and less same with soy oil, same with corn oil. I thought, Im just leaving them out, even if theyre organic or supposedly GMO-free. So many times those oils are rancid, and there are better fats to choose from anyway.
And I always wanted to label the recipes that happen to be vegan, because so many people use this book because theyre cooking for somebody else a child, a spouse or a family member so why not make it easy?
I didnt try to turn things into vegan recipes; I just labeled things that just happened to be. Romesco sauce just happened to be vegan.
Improving old recipes
Q: Are there things that havent changed much, and you dont think they will? What are the constants?
A: It was a very interesting process to redo a book rather than write a new one. The point wasnt to write a whole new book, it was to bring things up to date. There are certain American recipes and foods that are constants, for instance, but we can still make them better. Cornbread, thats a constant, but now maybe you can find freshly milled cornmeal from your farmers market or use really great buttermilk and make it even better.
Q: I enjoyed tracking some of the changes between editions. In the original, knives were your most important tool, for instance, but in the new one it became your hands, and knives moved to second place.
A: Thanks for noticing that. Hands are not new, but your hands tell you so much. Knives are pretty great, too. I gave a talk at Google, and one young woman said, Is there anything you would tell me as a new cook? I said, Yes, get a really sharp knife and give yourself lots of room to work. These things are basic and fundamental, and I guess they still have to be said.
More sauteing
Q: And you dropped deep frying from the glossary of basic cooking methods. Why?
A: I realized there is no deep-frying in the book. I just dont deep-fry. I think a lot of people try to avoid it.
I did want to take out certain recipes that were possibly not appropriate, because they were maybe too complicated, or too rich. One was a risotto gratin, and its really good and really rich, and its basically risotto thats baked with lots of butter, and it gets nice and crusty, but I thought, nobody has ever said they make that, and maybe it should go. Then I was giving a talk about that book, and two women said, You cant take that out, because we always make it for each others birthdays. Sometimes food is a celebration, so thats important to remember.
I had a lot of stir-fries in the first book. But Im not really a stir-fry person, so I went back and looked at the chapter again and pared it way down, and added a group of recipes that are simple sautés; they may use turmeric or chiles or lime, but they dont require a wok. Theyre a little more casual to make.
Its what I tend to do, when all else fails, and I dont have an idea or much time. Thats what I like to eat.
What about soy?
Q: Youve also lost some enthusiasm for soy products, particularly tofu and soy milk.
A: In the 90s, we behaved like tofu was going to save us. I knew people who just pureed it every morning and ate it plain. Why? Now we know that not so much tofu is better and that fermented forms are best. I left it in because I do think its a good food. But in the book I added more with tempeh and miso sauces and toppings.
Q: Ive grown pretty enamored of tempeh. But its a tough sell for some people.
A: It sure is for my husband. But I did learn to make tempeh from scratch like tofu that you make, its so delicious, so delicate, and not like what you buy in the store. But this is not a book about how to make tofu and tempeh; other people have done that extremely well.
Not 100% vegetarian
Q: Im happy that people dont seem to harass you for not being totally vegetarian, something youre very upfront about.
In fact, I noticed that there was just one review on Amazon complaining about that, and dozens of other reviewers jumped to your defense to say that of course it doesnt matter.
A: I did have 20 years of hands-on experience, so its not like Im jumping on the bandwagon and discovering my inner vegetarian.
Im doing a book signing ... in Santa Fe, at a butcher shop, with Joseph Shuldiner, who wrote Pure Vegan. He sent it to me and I thought, You cant possibly be vegan, this is way too much fun.
Were both coming from the same point of view. Were not interested in fundamental lifestyles of vegetarianism and veganism. Were interested in integrity, which is the same as the person who started the butcher shop. The meat is local, its grass-fed, its from here. And we admire that.
Its not about saying no to this or no to that. It can be if you want, or it can be that you simply want to eat some vegetables.
Mung Beans and Rice
With Spicy Tomatoes
The mung beans and rice and the spicy tomatoes can be refrigerated (separately) for up to 1 week; rewarm each on the stove top or in a low oven with a little water before combining and serving. Adapted from "The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone," by Deborah Madison (Ten Speed Press, 2014).
3/4 cup whole green mung beans
1 cup long-grain white rice
1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus extra for garnish
3 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon peeled and chopped fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3/4 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 1/4 teaspoons dill seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 or 2 jalapeno peppers (to taste), seeded and finely chopped
2 medium tomatoes, cored and cut into wedges
1/2 cup whole-milk or low-fat yogurt (optional)
IN separate bowls, cover the beans and rice with water.
USE a mortar and pestle or a food processor to pound or puree the cilantro, garlic, ginger, garam masala, turmeric and cayenne.
HEAT 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a 12-cup saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, 1/2 teaspoon of the cumin seed and 1 teaspoon of the dill seed. Cook until the onion starts to take on color, 5 to 7 minutes, then stir in the cilantro mixture and cook for 3 minutes.
DRAIN the beans and add them to the saucepan along with 4 cups of water and the salt. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cook, covered, for 15 minutes, keeping the liquid barely bubbling. Drain the rice, add it to the pot and cook, covered, for 18 more minutes or until both the rice and beans are tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let stand for 10 minutes.
HEAT the remaining 1 tablespoon of ghee in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of cumin and 1/4 teaspoon of dill along with the jalapenos. Cook until the seeds start to brown, just for a few minutes, then raise the heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes and cook until they begin to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.
SERVE the rice and beans warm, garnished with the tomatoes, yogurt (if using) and a sprinkling of chopped cilantro.
Per serving (based on 6): 310 calories, 9 g protein, 46 g carbohydrates, 8 g fat, 5 g saturated fat, 10 mg cholesterol, 540 mg sodium, 6 g dietary fiber, 4 g sugar
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
Tangerine Pudding Cakes
With Raspberry Coulis
The baked cakes can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 3 months; defrost before serving, and reheat in a low oven if desired. The coulis can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 6 months. Adapted from Madison's "The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" (Ten Speed Press, 2014).
For the cakes
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the ramekins
3 large eggs, separated
1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons organic sugar
2 teaspoons finely grated tangerine zest, plus 1/3 cup fresh tangerine juice (from 2 to 4 tangerines)
1 cup whole milk or light cream
3 tablespoons flour
Softly whipped cream, for serving
For the coulis
2/3 cup water
3 tablespoons organic sugar, plus more to taste
3 cups frozen organic, unsweetened raspberries
3 tablespoons orange muscat wine or other sweet wine (optional)
1 teaspoon fresh tangerine juice, plus more to taste
HEAT the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly butter eight 4-ounce or six larger ramekins or custard cups and seat them in a roasting or baking pan large enough to hold them all with a bit of space around each one. Boil a kettle of water for the bain-marie (water bath).
COMBINE the egg whites and salt in the grease-free bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the balloon whisk attachment. Beat on medium speed until foamy; increase the speed and gradually add 2 tablespoons of the sugar, beating to form thick, glossy peaks. Scrape into a large bowl.
RINSE out the mixing bowl, wipe it dry and return it to the mixer. Switch to the paddle attachment. Beat the 3 tablespoons of butter with the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and the tangerine zest until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating to incorporate before each addition. Gradually pour in the milk and juice, then sift in the flour, beating on low speed until combined. (A few lumps are okay.)
POUR the batter over the whites and fold them together. Distribute evenly among the ramekins or custard cups. Place the pan on the middle oven rack (pulled out halfway), then pour enough of the just-boiled water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins or cups (to create the bain-marie). Bake for about 30 minutes, until the tops have risen and are golden; they should spring back when lightly pressed with a finger.
MEANWHILE, make the coulis: Combine the water and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and give it a stir, then reduce the heat to medium or medium-low so the mixture is gently bubbling; cook until the sugar has dissolved.
STIR in the raspberries; cook for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and let the fruit stand in the syrup for 5 minutes. Force the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer placed over a bowl; discard the solids. Stir in the wine, if using, and the juice. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled.
REMOVE the pudding cakes from the water bath. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. Drizzle sauce over each pudding cake; top each one with a small cloud of whipped cream.

Edamame and Sesame Puree
Adapted from "The New Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone," by Deborah Madison (Ten Speed Press, 2014).
1 1 /2 cups shelled fresh or frozen edamame (green soybeans)
Sea salt
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon Meyer lemon juice, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon black sesame seeds, toasted (see Note)
1 scallion, thinly sliced on the diagonal, for garnish
BRING a few cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the edamame and a few pinches of salt; reduce the heat to medium or medium-low so the water is gently bubbling. Cook until the edamame are tender, about 4 minutes, then drain, reserving at least 1 cup of the cooking water.
TRANSFER the edamame to a food processor along with the garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of the oil. Pulse, adding the reserved cooking water as needed to make the mixture smooth and creamy – about 1/2 cup or more. Stir in the teaspoon of lemon juice, and taste; add lemon juice and salt as needed.
SCRAPE the puree into a shallow bowl and run a knife back and forth over the top to smooth it. Drizzle the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of oil over the top, then sprinkle with the sesame seeds and scallion.
SERVE at room temperature on crackers.
Note: Heat the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan frequently, until fragrant, 4 to 8 minutes. Watch carefully; they burn easily.
Per serving: 60 calories, 4 g protein, 4 g carbohydrates, 3 g fat, 1 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 180 mg sodium, 1 g dietary fiber, 0 g sugar
Yield: 6 servings (makes about 1 1/2 cups).

A jury Friday found former Montgomery doctor David Nash in the murder-for-hire case of Ralph "Critterman" McNeill.
Nash could be sentenced to life in prison without parole for the crime.
Nash was accused of hiring two cousins, Jeremy and Kendall Riley, to kill McNeill whose body was found less than 50 feet from his burned out pickup truck in January 2011.
Nash's then-fiance, Serena English, was said to be in a heated custody battle with McNeill at the time of his death. English testified against Nash at trial.
"This is about love, it's about women and about money. Bottom line," said Kenneth Gibbs, a Deputy District Attorney for Montgomery County. "I think it was about his love for Serena and his desire to keep her happy and please her. "
The defense plans to appeal the verdict.
"We just don't think the evidence was there. There wasn't enough corroboration," said Susan James, Nash's attorney. "We obviously are disappointed, but plan to fight the fight. We plan to file a post-trial motion for judgment of acquittal and certainly any appeals that might follow."
Both English and Jeremy Riley have already pleaded guilty to their roles in the murder.
Kendall Riley stood trial for the man's murder earlier in 2013 but a hung jury resulted in a mistrial.

True freshman QB Chase Rettig comes into this weekend's game against Florida State with great expectations.
Pre-Snap Read's Paul Myerberg takes a closer look at the Eagles' game of quarterback musical chairs.
A look at the updated Boston College football depth chart for this weekend's game against Florida State.
With Dave Shinskie and Mike Marscovetra unable to move the ball this weekend against N.C. State, all eyes turn to the state of freshman QB Chase Rettig.
Instant post-game thoughts on N.C. State's 44-17 win over Boston College.
With freshman quarterback Chase Rettig stilled hobbled with a sprained ankle, Boston College head coach Frank Spaziani has decided to go with sophomore Dave Shinskie to start Saturday against North Carolina State.Shinskie To Start This Weekend vs. N.C. State (Herald)
Sure, the N.C. State Wolfpack football team is off to a fast 4-1 start on the season, but just how good is Boston College's next opponent?
Meanwhile, Shinskie, who was the starter until Saturday, and Marscovetra, who relieved Rettig, both were hoping for another chance to start, especially Shinskie. "This was a wake-up call for Dave Shinskie,'' said Shinskie. "We need a leader on this team. We need a leader on offense. What we need is for someone to step up. I want to be that guy.''Shinskie wants a second chance, though referring to yourself in the third person is never really a good move
Boston College starting quarterback Chase Rettig is doubtful for Saturday's game against N.C. State.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
The annual Whitney Art Party always lures a strong contingent of the fashion crowd, and this year should be no exception. If there's a bit more buzz than usual, chalk it up to the evening's entertainer, performance artist Kalup Linzy (pictured). A friend and collaborator of James Franco—who's helped to publicize him and his work—Linzy has also been embraced by the fashion world, creating a video for Proenza Schouler's show at Pitti and getting fitted personally by DVF. For the Whitney, Linzy will be bidding adieu to one of his longtime characters/alter egos, Taiwan, with an elaborate funeral. (Original plans called for a casket procession through the city.) In honor of the occasion, Style.com checked in with Linzy to talk about the end of Taiwan (live, at least; he'll live on in video), the beginnings of his new character Kaye, and why design is best left to the designers.
I've heard that Wednesday's performance will include a funeral procession and Whitney Houston songs. Care to fill in a few blanks?
It's not going to be a funeral procession, per se, but I am paying a tribute to my character Taiwan and I am performing most of the songs I composed. But because Whitney is one of my favorite artists, there will be Whitney songs played too. There will be a video playing the whole time and in the background there's a casket. That will be closed until the ritual happens, but something does happen during the performance. When I started my proposals like a year ago, they wanted to have the casket literally driving through the city.
For those not keyed in, tell us a little bit about the origins and evolution of Taiwan.
Taiwan is a soul singer. He was part of my thesis video in 2003 and then I started performing him live. The first live performance that got a lot of attention was at PS1 in 2006. Other big highlights were the performance in New Orleans with the Art Production Fund and then the videos for Proenza, then T, then working with James Franco.
He's been a big part of your body of work. Why are you putting him to rest?
Taiwan was just an avenue that I would tap into but I don't feel like going on stage and being like that anymore. For now, I have done all I can to stay true to the character. I could force it but I don't think it would be the same, emotionally, as what people were getting before. Now I want to do something lighter. I feel like the stuff that drove Taiwan is not there or in the same place anymore.
Clothes and fashion play a very big role in your work. How do you see fashion in relation to your art?
The clothes help define each character—it's an essential part. Even thrift store shopping, I find I am imaging them. It's an emotional, visual response to what each should have on. Personally, I am really a T-shirt and jeans guy, but I think fashion is a type of performance art. Designers come up with clothes with a particular character. These days, they [don't want the models] to have personality, but back in the day the supermodels had personalities that went into selling the clothes, too.
And what will you be wearing for the performance?
He has a curly wig and a black suit from Theory they sent me yesterday. And I don't know about the shoes yet.
Kaye, your newest character, features into the new film you're working on. Will you be collaborating with someone on a collection for him?
Kaye is a fashionista but I don't know if I want to have someone pull clothes or work with a designer formally because that can take forever. I have been talking to Cynthia Rowley about doing a full-on collab, but really I am focused on the film right now. It has crossed my mind to do my own clothing collection but it would probably be a hot mess. I studied art, not fashion, so I wouldn't have that point of reference that real designers have. I can't really transcend if I don't know the history and I don't want to imitate, you know? I trust designers with that.

I overheard someone in the coffee shop the other day complaining about a friend who only called when she needed something. We all have one of these friends, right? We help her when she needs it, we attend the parties she plans, we stop over when she's feeling lonely, and we listen to her when she needs to vent. But what about when we need something?
It's a sad conclusion when you realize you're friends with someone who is more concerned about themselves than you. It doesn't mean they are doing this maliciously. Some people are just clueless. They want friends, but they don't realize they need to be a friend, too. How should you deal with this?
I prefer to believe that most of the time people aren't trying to behave poorly, but we're busy and clueless and just do sometimes. If you have a friend that, for example, calls you to invite you to parties but can't return calls otherwise, you can simply stop going to their events. Perhaps she thinks of you as an acquaintance rather than a good friend.
If your friend only contacts you when she needs a favor, be sure you're asking her for things when you need them. Don't assume that she knows when you need help. Maybe you posted something on Facebook, for example, and you're wondering why she didn't respond. The answer is maybe she just didn't see the post. If you need something, ask. If she can't be there for you when you ask her to be, then it's time to determine if she's a friend or not.

Hello Kevin,
This is Hollywood.
You seemed to imply in your post responding to MrQ1701 that the almighty dollar was the most important part of filmmaking.
...are you saying there is some *other* part to it?
Any jerk with a coke habit and a Ferrari in the shop can be up front about being out for Joe Sixpack's twelve bucks.
The really successful jerks, on the other hand, don't make that fact screechingly obvious.
"Now I did a job -- and got nothin' but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character, so let me make this abundantly clear: I do the job... and then I get paid. Go run your little world."
Well, the primary reason I didn't go see Nemesis in the Theater opening weekend...
I was on the boards reading all the messages from people talking about how terrible it was. My cash budget is tight as it is, so even going to a matinee is a matter for me that has to be budgeted and planned for months in advance. If I even get a wiff that I'm not going to get my money's worth...I don't spend it, it's far too precious to spend on something that I'll regret later.
I have seen the darkness in my soul and shine brighter for it.
I need to put in my 2 cents here. I'm not a "canon-ite". In fact, I hate the word canon. Religions have canons, not fiction. But I do think it is important to keep continuity as much as possible without hurting the story.
First; from what I've seen Abrams is sticking to the most important "canon" of Star Trek - the idea of hope for the future of mankind. I'm sick to death of all the dark future sci-fi. I have stated several times that I would have loved to see this new Enterprise look more like the TOS version but that's not as important as keeping to the spirit of the original show and it sounds like that is what Abrams is trying to do.
Second; I agree with some of the previous responses; The last few movies just weren't as good as the earlier onces and they faced stiff competition. Add to that, viewers were just getting bored with Star Trek. "Canon" was part of that problem. The writer's creativity was stifled by the amount of "canon" they had to adhere to.
Finally; I finally saw Nemesis recently. I had never seen it because I had heard it sucked, and it definately did suck. Not only did Nemesis repeatedly violate what I would consider Star Trek "canon" it was just plain AWEFUL science fiction. Case in point: After the Enterprise rammed his ship, the villian actually backed his ship off the Enterprise. Hello? As Heinlein would say, if you're going to write science fiction, learn something about science first!
The conditions between Star Trek and Star Wars fans are completely different. A huge archive of star trek shows are available to everyone where Star Wars was limited to an ending.
Basically what I'm trying to get at is my favorite star trek show can be found on TV every day, where Star Wars is a much more rare occasion then Star Trek. If I want to see what happens in star trek, I can turn on the TV, If i want to see what happened in star wars, I had to go to the movie theater.

Great thread!
I haven't been to ALL the ST opening days but have seen them all in their first week which I also do for Bond, Star Wars, Lethal Weapon, Indianna Jones, Batman, Superman, X-Men, Die Hard and Bourne movies. It's what I do since I believe these films are better on a bigger screen and with lots of other fans ..... it adds to the "experience".
It does sadden me when it feels like it is the LAST one due to poor box office. But time has proven that with a fanbase there studios become aware there is money to be made. I truly thought I'd never see another ST movie after ST: Nemisis, not because I did not enjoy it but because it did not make a lot of money. It was not the best swan song, but really, Data was starting to age and the rest of the cast (as Roger Moore once said about his Bond) was getting "long in the tooth".
Who knows, someday Voyager, DS9 and (dare I say) Enterprise might be made into films with a different cast and some of us fans in wheel chairs will be screaming "Canon!" as our grandkids are truly enjoying what they see.
That's why I believe this film should be made for today's audience because it is getting a fresh start and may continue until this new cast is 90 years old like Shat and Nemoy are now. "Canon" fans still have what they love on VHS, DVD, Bluray and someday implanted directly into their brain. For me TOS died with bones and scotty and ST:VI was a wonderful swan song for that cast.
Let a new generation of fans watch this new film and, it being their first trek experience, they will be diving into the 1,000's of hours of Trek's past that we all know and love and ST will live forever. Also have faith in the studios because every so often a fan get's a job there and "Wham", something we love comes back. Personally, I'm still waiting for "Bill and Ted III".
The OP has a point.
Star Wars fans garner much more loyalty even when the movie is known to be crappy. They still support it.
Star Trek fans are a little...dare I say.....snobbish...when it comes to their beloved universe.
Which is not to say there's anything wrong with expecting quality in your entertainment and not just blindly walking into a theater because it says Star Trek on the banner.
But the Star Trek fan base has no loyalty anymore. We're all kinda split 50/50 on this new incarnation. It's like an online war over this movie...which in a way is exciting.
It's interesting, but I've notice a similar thing about football fans as well.
Some fans love their team and support them through thick and thin, win or lose. While others love their team when they win, and are calling for everyone from the coach to the waterboy to be fired and replaced when they lose.
I have seen the darkness in my soul and shine brighter for it.
*Star Wars fans garner much more loyalty even when the movie is known to be crappy. They still support it.*
Did you see the backlash Clone Wars received?
The TV series seems to be doing quite well regardless.
It just proves a point; never listen to the fans.
Don't pander to them either.
Let your Muse be your guide.
it's only my opinion but...
lets face it, all of the Star Trek movies with the exception of The Voyage Home (which I rate a 7 out of 10) were mediocre, poorly conceived, poorly written and poorly executed.
Who should we blame for that?
I'd say, the people who lacked vision and those who said, "Sorry, we don't have the budget to do that!" and those who thought they could triple their investment for every dollar they could save!
The next TV Series should be called STARFLEET!

Driver suffers spinal injury
9:32am Friday 23rd November 2012 in News
A driver suffered a fractured spine when his white Peugeot 206 overturned in Brill Road, Horton-cum-Studley, during a collision.
The crash happened at about 8.20am on Monday.
Pc Daniel Watford said: "We are keen to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision, in particular the driver of a Transit van that was travelling in the opposite direction at the time of the collision."
The victim was taken to Oxford's John Radcliffe Hospital, but was discharged later that day.
Witnesses can call 101.

Our First Two Graduates:
In the spring of 2012, International Studies had its first two graduates!
|Michael Croal (2012: Globalization)
My study abroad in England and Ireland changed my entire perspective on college. After completing my study abroad and this program, I realize that there is a world outside of the United States. International Studies is a fantastic program; the interdisciplinary course work makes for a well-rounded degree that is truly customizable. I would suggest this program to anyone seeking to gain a more global view. I am currently at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville completing a Master of the Arts in Comparative Politics.
|Jordan Eicher (2012: Middle East)
As a political science major, I thought it would be beneficial to get a different, interdisciplinary perspective, which I found in the International Studies. This major has helped me see the world as a more inclusive and interconnected entity than I previously thought, and by doing so it has made me more understanding of global tribulations and thus more understanding of possible solutions.International Studies is an excellent choice for students of any major because it allows students to understand the global and immeasurable results of our actions throughout our careers and our lives.

Recruit Rakim Lubin watched UConn's first basketball practice on Saturday during his official visit.
Guess he liked what he saw from his seat at Gampel Pavilion.
Lubin, a 6-foot-7, 220-pound forward from Gadsden, Ala., gave the Huskies a verbal commitment, according to a Twitter report @OntheRadarHoops. He transferred to Buford High School after attending Gadsden.
Allen Whitehart, his coach at Buford, confirmed Lubin's commitment on twitter @WhitehartHoops.
"I'm really excited for him," Whitehart wrote.
Lubin is a member of the Class of 2014.

Heat is one of the leading weather-related killers in the United States, resulting in hundreds of fatalities each year. In the disastrous heat wave of 1980, more than 1250 people died. In the heat wave of 1995, more than 700 deaths in the Chicago area were attributed to heat, making this the deadliest weather event in Chicago history. North American summers are typically hot. Even though this summer has been cooler than normal across a large portion of the eastern United States, several days have still been hot enough to pose a hazard. (1.) The Hazards of Excessive Heat During extremely hot and humid weather, the body`s ability to cool itself is affected. When the body heats too rapidly to cool itself properly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, body temperature rises and heat-related illnesses may develop. Heat-related illnesses can range from heat cramps to heat exhaustion to more serious heat stroke. Heat stroke can result in death and requires immediate medical attention. Factors or conditions that can make some people more susceptible to heat-related illnesses include age (young children and the elderly), obesity, fever, heart disease, mental illness, poor circulation, prescription drug and alcohol use, and sunburn. Sunburn, caused by ultraviolet radiation from the sun, can significantly retard the skin`s ability to shed excess heat. (2.) Recognizing the Symptoms of Heat Stroke Heat stroke is a severe medical emergency that can be fatal if not recognized and treated promptly. Symptoms of heat stroke include: * Altered or confused mental state * Possible throbbing headache, confusion, nausea, dizziness, and shallow breathing * High body temperature (106 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) * Skin may be hot and dry, or patient may be sweating * Rapid pulse * Possible unconsciousness To assist a victim of heat stroke: * Move the victim to a cooler, preferably air-conditioned, environment. * Reduce body temperature with a water mister and fan or by sponging. * Use a fan if heat index temperatures are below the upper 90s. * If temperature rises again, repeat the above process. * Do not give fluids. Tomorrow, we will discuss how quickly the sun can heat a vehicle. We will also review measures on how to keep children safe from heat exposure. For more information on heat safety, consult the National Weather Service heat safety awareness page at: www.nws.noaa.gov/os/heat. $$ RJP

This is the UFC Fight Night 35 live blog for Cole Miller vs. Sam Sicilia, a featherweight bout at Wednesday night's UFC event at the The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga.
Miller, who has lost three of his past five fights, will face Sicilia, who has won two of his four UFC fights, on the main card.
Check out the UFC Fight Night 35 live blog below.

Round 1: Both fighters open orthodox with Herb Dean is the referee. Sicilia is winging shots, but can't land anything of note. Same for Miller, who is trying to counterpunch. Front kick-right hand combination lands for nicely for Miller. Two jabs now for Miller as well. Sicilia scores a body shot and loops a right hand around the glove of Miller that seems to temporarily stumble him. Outside leg kick for Miller as he circles out. Close round.
MMA Fighting scores this round 10-9 Miller
Round 2: Jab scores early for Miller and he's still moving. A right hand down the pipe absolutely drills Sicilia and he's rocked. Another one and Sicilia tries to take Miller down and can't as the ATT fighter gets his hips back. Miller scores again on the right hand, although slightly less potent. Then again and this time Sicilia is in huge trouble. Miller jumps mounted guillotine and Sicila escapes, but Miller's in side control. Sicilia tries to roll and Miller takes his back, snatches him off of his base and sinks the rear naked choke for the tap.
Cole Miller def. Sam Sicilia via submission (rear naked choke) at 1:54 of round 2

Yanks expected to make offer to Sheets
Team met with righty Monday; said to be preparing offer
Though the Yankees are still very much at the center of the talks with free-agent left-hander CC Sabathia, they may be preparing to make a run at another ace -- Ben Sheets.
The Yankees met with Sheets on Monday at the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas, and the New York Daily News reported that according to a source, they will offer the right-hander a multiyear deal, believed to be for two years and about $30 million dollars. The offer is expected to be made before the Meetings wrap up on Thursday.
Sheets is 86-83 in his career with a 3.73 ERA, but has missed significant time due to injury in four of his eight seasons in the Major Leagues, all with the Milwaukee Brewers. Sheets missed the 2008 National League Division Series after suffering a muscle tear in his elbow near the end of the regular season.

What more do fans want? If LOG branches sharply into new musical directions, they'll be chopped down for selling out, and if they stay exactly the same, they'll be accused of repeating a formula.
This disc leans toward the latter, but not so much that it's routine. In fact, I consider the production on this disc to be among of the current benchmarks in the genre–crisp and heavy, front-and-center, sharp around the edges, state-of-the-art thrash.
Randy Blythe nails his vocals too, and they're mixed in like a fifth instrument, giving the songs a collective sonic weight.
As always, the musicianship is top notch here, especially the guitar playing, and of course, the drums. I consider Chris Adler to be the Neil Peart of… well, his playing defies genre. He's just amazing to listen to.
If I had to pick one song to highlight, I'd say "Contractor" and its head-crushing 25 second break toward the end. I'll never get tired of listening to that.
