Math skills add up to higher earnings
Emphasize numbers in your course curriculum, and you can expect to see higher numbers in your bank account. That's the consensus of several studies, including surveys by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) and PayScale.com. "Math is at the crux of who gets paid," states Ed Koc, director of research at NACE. "If you have those skills, you are an extremely valuable asset." According to NACE, all 15 college majors with the highest earnings potential rely on math skills.
For best results, head for a college major that combines mathematics problem sets with hands-on career training. Applied math wins on the job market, explains PayScale's director of quantitative analysis Al Lee: "The kinds of majors where you learn to integrate mathematics and science with the everyday world have a tremendous benefit in terms of earnings potential." High tech isn't the only road to riches -- you can find applied math careers in business, finance, design and other industries.

This is my first experience with wakame.I simply hrdrate it in water for 30 minutes, drain the water out.Put the water in the dogs dish instead of throwing it away-THEY LOVE IT.Then eat it uncooked room temp with some toasted sesame oil on it.A small serving is all you need to feel satisfied.
Great quality!

Tested several wakames and this is without a doubt the best so far. Color is good dark green, harder stems have been removed, flakes are nice size and the taste is great. Easy to use just by tossing it into soups and salads. I prefer not to cook it much so if am preparing miso for example I will add the wakame after the miso paste and just let it sit for a moment. It rehydrates fast enough just like that and doesn't become disgustingly mushy. Some cheaper wakame just breaks apart and is very slimey, but this one holds it together and stays more like a salad leaf or something. I also like that the pack size is bigger than several other brands despite the price not being higher, so I don't instantly run out of it :)
Very hard and salty

This small packet of wakame seaweed is similar to other wakame I've tried and it is nice to be able to get it at a reasonable price. It has a slight sea-foodish aroma, a deep green color, and a hearty flavor. I add a little to broth-based soups, with basil, garlic and/or ginger to add nutrition, flavor and texture. The texture is the best thing - like noodles, without the starch or gluten.

Our team, Happy's Hikers, is walking in this event to raise funds for the Wisconsin Humane Society and to honor the memory of our beloved friend, Happy. Happy was rescued by Julie when he was 1 year old. Happy was living in an abandoned home that had no heat, running water, or electricity. A woman was living there trying to take care of many homeless dogs and cats. Julie was able to convince the woman to let her take 11 of the dogs to try and care for them and find good homes for them. Happy was fortunate enough to be fostered by Julie. She found loving homes for the other dogs. Happy captured Julie's heart and became part of her family and daycare pack. Julie is the owner of The Village Dog, a daycare and boarding place in IL. We knew Happy as the official greeter at The Village Dog when we would bring our own dog for daycare. He always greeted us with a smile, a wagging tail and a gentle nudge if we had treats in our pockets. Julie had his companionship for 13 years. Julie said he was a wonderful spirit, fun, funny, loving, strong and sweet. We will all miss Happy. So in honor of Happy and to support what the humane society does for so many homeless dogs, we will walk on Sunday, May 18th to raise funds. Please support us in our efforts by donating whatever amount you feel you can do. No amount is too small. Thank you in advance for your help!

MIG 29 A (for Poser)
The Mikoyan MiG-29 is a fighter aircraft designed for the air superiority role in the Soviet Union. Developed in the 1970s by the Mikoyan design bureau, it entered service in 1983 and remains in use by the Russian Air Force as well as in many other nations. NATO's reporting name for the MiG-29 is "Fulcrum", which was unoffically used by Soviet pilots in service. While the heavy, long range Su-27 was tasked with the more exotic and dangerous role of deep air-to-air sweeps of NATO high-value assets, the smaller MiG-29 directly replaced the MiG-23 in the frontal aviation role. The MiG-29 was positioned relatively close to the front lines, tasked with providing local air superiority to advancing Soviet motorized army units. Rugged landing gear and protective intake grates meant the MiG-29 could operate from the damaged or under-prepared airstrips Soviet war planners expected to encounter during a rapid armored advance. The MiG-29 was also tasked with escort duties for local strike and interdiction air packages, protecting vulnerable ground attack aircraft from NATO fighters such as the F-15 and F-16. Frontal aviation MiG-29s would ensure Soviet ground forces could operate under a safe air umbrella, moving forward with the troops as they advanced.

Eh, this didn't do anything for me. No hydration, no moisturizing, and no difference in any lines. But, there's no smell, so there's that. It also broke me out, and NOTHING ever makes me break out.

I have used up several 7ml samples of this (from GWPs) and had since went back to purchase the full size. Reminds me of the Lancome Genifique Youth Activator and Estee Lauder's ANR, all of which promises the reversal of time and cell damage. So far the texture of Clinique RWLF is between Lancome's (much runnier) and EL ANR (thicker). Good texture, absorbs easily and leaves skin feeling smooth and supple. I cannot vouch for the wrinkle-reduction etc because I do not have many visible wrinkles as yet. Am using this mainly as a form of prevention.

Whelp, I am on bottle number two and I see something happening. Remember, you gotta do it three full months religiously to see the Fraxel benefits they guarantee. So I will have more to report later, but I will tell you that I saw some photos of me over the weekend and was pleased with my overall look whereas before I felt like my skin was dull looking and so we shall see.

This is a decent serum mostly for wrinkle prevention. I found it to be very similar to Estee Lauder Advanced night repair serum. I checked the ingredient list this one also contains active ingredients such as hyluronic acid for hydration, and retinol for wrinkle/hyperpigmentation. And like many other EL/Clinique serums, this one also has silicone in it which I don't really care. Price is comparable to EL ANR if you get the largest bottle of ANR so I'll probably just get ANR instead. For reference I'm 32 and have Asian pale, normal skin and no fine lines/wrinkles at all. I've always believed in prevention and always used good moisturizer and serums. to me this serum does not produce magical effects but works great preventing any lines.

I love this product so far. I have been using it for a month now and I wake up every morning with smooth, even skin that isn't dull anymore. You have to apply it religiously morning and night for it to work, so remember that. It does a great job making skin more even and a little brighter. I feel like I don't have to wear as much foundation anymore which is a huge plus for me. I will be purchasing this product again!
There are a few lines forming near my eyes, I have some past eczema and acne marks, and the pores do seem to grow when the weather warms up, so I thought I'd try this stuff out. It's been about two months. The lines are still forming, the pores are still noticeable and the marks are still there. Well... that's a total waste of time and money!
I might as well be putting water on my face. It does nothing. It gives the appearance of smoother skin texture when you put it on, sort of like a silicon makeup base does, but doesn't actually correct anything long term. I used two bottles. Very disappointed. Also the bottle is terrible and drips all over wasting product.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Horrible product. Caused great irritation to me and my skin. The twice daily application made my skin bright red and itchy, so I stopped for a while. I recontinued later with once a day application, the same story to a lesser degree. Inconvenient packaging too. I hate it when my money is wasted like this.
I don't have any wrinkles but I heard this helps the appearance of the skin. I didn't see visible results, I have larger pores and some acne scarring and there was no result from this. It is supposed to help with UV damage as well. I was told it takes three bottles to see full results. I'm sorry, but that is way too expensive for a product where you hardly see any results to begin with.
Got sucked into buying this by the Clinique consultant and am now kicking myself for it. I've used this religiously for 6 weeks (night and day) and have noticed NO difference in lines or hyperpigmentation from sun damage. I think my skin possibly looks alittle smoother on my cheeks, but since I don't have actual wrinkles there, I can't tell if it's just wishful thinking, or if it's the new Roc night cream I use in conjunction with this at night. Won't be repurchasing.

Silver Lining
By ANDREW MINER
RIPR – You know those moments in life when everything seems to be humming along just fine and then, boom, out of nowhere your world gets turned upside down? This sort of bad fortune can happen to any of us, of course, and without any warning whatsoever. Sometimes, under the best of circumstances, we're able to recover with a newfound appreciation of life itself and of some very special people in our lives. And that's exactly what happened to Andrew Miner.
A member of the class of 2014 at East Greenwich High School, Andrew Miner is a jazz musician, editor of his school's newspaper, class president, a member of the baseball team, and quarterback of the football team. Andrew reports that football has been his passion since the 5th grade.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter came to Capitol Hill as a seventh grader, five months ago. She is thriving and absolutely loves it. She's made friends easily and is very happy. The teachers are good, especially the exceptional history teacher, David Howard, and the orchestra teacher, John Middleton. Homework is very manageable. Good diversity. Yes, it would be nice if classes were smaller -- but that's not the school's fault, it's the fault of a district that doesn't value gifted & talented kids for anything other than bringing up test scores.. The only real negative here is the principal, Patrick Bryan. He is totally out of touch with parents -- won't return phone calls or emails. But the middle school administrator, Tim Williams, is great, and elementary parents rave about Grace Raymond. Good sports and lots of other opportunities. We're pulling our younger daughter out of her (excellent) school next year and sending her to Capitol Hill.
My middle-schooler is not highly gifted, like some of the kids here are, but she is excelling here. The arts classes are exceptional and so are most of the basics. The seventh grade English program is a little weak -- kids should be writing much more. There is a dynamic parent group and while they aren't real welcoming, they are very involved and work to make the school a community. Sports are good and the kids are mostly friendly to newcomers. The administration, most notably the notoriously unreachable principal, has a ways to go in order to assist the great teachers in succeeding. This year the administration really harmed History Day, a school tradition, by scheduling tons of testing in the computer lab, which meant that the kids had a tough time doing their research. Principal seems more interested in being front and center when something's successful than he does in getting down into the trenches to support the teachers and make sure the kids come first. He's very unfriendly to parents and no one really knows what he does all day! The school district is not blameless either -- they don't give the school adequate staffing, hiding behind a myriad of excuses.
This is a strange, disconnected, cold institution. Little to no sense of community. Kids shuffled around like cogs in a machine. Emphasis on producing work and projects, but very little attention to quality or mastery. My kids are pushed along with the sea of students here, but I find that they have major skill gaps in math, grammar, reading comprehension, and writing. Specialist courses in the lower grades are of very low quality. Accelerated opportunities in math are misleading. The classrooms, busses, and cafeteria are overcrowded. Teachers are NOT supported by the administration. After many years here, very few adults in the building know my kids or recognize their strengths or weaknesses. All this adds up to a poor, unhappy, and at times even uncivil learning environment.
Interesting reviews here. I have two children at this school. While I agree that being at CH is a relief compared to being at other SPPS in terms of academic levels and for my kids to be surrounded by other G/T kids, the downsides are very real. Overcrowding in the lunchroom, busses and classrooms creates stress and a prison like environment. The administration takes a very "us against Them" approach to the parents who try to advocate for their children. I agree with the other reviewers who don't entirely trust the principal. He does not respond to email or phone calls. He does not hold himself accountable. Parents are tired of the uphill battle. CH is seen as an elite school and yet it is one of the least funded schools in the district. A parent had to provide a printer for the 6th grade so, they could do their history day work. Junior high is another story. 40 plus kids in classes. The principal is growing the school as fast as he can which translates to insane stress levels as they race through the halls, skip lunch (no time) and fend for themselves socially. This school, like the other SPPS schools breed aggressive, disrespectful, stressed out kids.
I'm amazed by the number of negative reviews posted here. To those individuals that don't appreciate the fact that their children have been accepted into this highly-selective school, I say this: pull your children out of CH to make room for families that are on the waiting list, because there are lots of families that would be thrilled to send their kids here. My child was flagged G/T in kindergarten, yet wasn't selected to attend CH until 3rd grade. In that time he languished at a mainstream SPPS elementary where he wasn't allowed to work to his ability (he was much more advanced than his classmates in a few subjects, and the G/T services there were pathetic), thus he was bored and hated school! After getting into CH, his life changed: he is finally doing challenging work in a fast-paced environment, he is finally allowed to work to his ability, and he loves learning! CH isn't perfect, but compared to what mainstream elementary is like for G/T students in SPPS, it's a godsend! If you are a parent of child that qualifies for CH, then you really ought to put CH as your first choice - don't bother with a mainstream school because it cannot offer to your child what CH can offer!
Capitol Hill Magnet/Rondo the rate of this school has highly dropped since I last rated this school. The school has way to many students crammed in there to the point where it is not a safe place when the students in middle school travel through the hallways. If you are considering picking Capitol Hill as your child's school i would say don't pick the school unless your child is starting at 1st grade, because if you don't start your child at first grade entering the school will be difficult because all the kids there have entered at first grade and you are quickly thrown into the outcast.
I've had three children attend Capitol Hill. The school maintains a rigorous pace using a parallel curriculum in all subjects. If your child can maintain the pace within this type of curriculum, it's great. If not, forget it, gifted or not. Classes are large and there's no room or time to slow down for anyone. For those who can maintain the pace, this is a good school. For those who cannot for any reason, much of the value of the curriculum is lost. Homework is excessive in all grades from most teachers. As a parent, prepare to be very involved in getting it done. Don't bother to inquire about the amount, you'll be told to buck up and get used to it. From experience, I can tell you that the homework does not really prepare your student any better for high school. The current principal is an unusual man who does not respond to parents or to reports of bullying. The District is adding students to the school to keep them (and the dollars) in the District and the total population of the school (grades 1-8) is now over 1100 students. Classes range in size from 25 -32 students. The school offers lots of enrichment opportunities after school
My 6 YO got tested in to Capitol Hill and I was debating if I should have him stay at his French Immersion school so he can be fluent in french by grade 6 or go to the GT school. My son has ADHD and I'd get calls from his teachers on how he was misbehaving. I am so glad that I chose Capitol Hill. His new teacher is AMAZING and caters to his behavior trying new things with him to help him learn and focus. Great school and great teachers (Ms.Brzinski)!
Capitol hill school is amazing school with amazing teachers, when my son was little behind in his reading at 2nd grade. Ms. waskosky was behind him in every little step he took. How is going to 4th Grade as a good Readers. Thanks a Lot !!!!
The Principal doesnt give you a very good feeling of your child being safe when being bullied. 2nd grade teacher (mrs young) pushes the kids too hard. She gives stop and think sheets for everything, EVEN for not finishing your work in class. Once she finds a kid to pick on-she really rips on them. The ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT CAPITAL HILL was 1st grade with Ms Brizinski! SHE IS AN AMAZING TEACHER!!!!! THANKFUL I was finally able to get my child out of that school. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL SOLEY FOR THE PRINCIPAL alone.
My daughter loves this school. Activities are helpful and encouraging to the kids. School reports making is good and I could know the level my child.
We were lucky enough to come to Capitol Hill just as the new principal, Patrick Bryan, did. I have seen a strong effort to take an honest appraisal of where the school is at, where it needs to do some improvement, and where it can really aspire to national leadership. An early focus on community and positive student behaviors have instilled a great deal of trust. I still find some pieces that turn me off a bit in terms of the community--do we, for instance, really need to tolerate the exclusive, class-demarcated stuff here like "gala" fundraising, just to make those certain someones feel OK about not choosing private school? I also think the default use of the district math curriculum is stunningly disappointing, in the early grades at least. If I hear one more time that it doesn't matter if my kid masters basic facts, I am going to tear out 7 hairs, six times, and my son will be lucky if they are all from my own head. Aargh. Those two qualms aside--and in which school in St. Paul would I fail to have some similar gripes?--I do think of Capitol Hill as a 5 star school. With the new sibling preference policy, we will definitely be sending our youngest here as well.
Our son is currently in 6th grade. It has been the ideal fit for him since entering the school in first grade. Even though the classrooms have been large (30+) his teachers have taken the time to get to know him and have done an excellent job motivating him. We recently discovered our son is twice gifted. His teacher did not hesitate to make accommodations for his needs. Things were a little rocky while they went through a principal transition. However, the new principal, like the teachers, seems to have a good grasp of the needs of gifted learners. Parents are very proactive. They are the lifeblood of the school and show it by volunteering for various activities throughout the year. We are looking forward to the Capitol Hill for junior high experience.
It seemed to me upon observation for enrollment, that there was a high disproportionate number of kids with Aspergers. Not that this is this is wrong, but I do question what real overall affect it has on a classroom as a special need. I also saw children with impulse issues and at least one child who had severe mental health issues and wanted to pinch, cut or hurt other children. The teachers did not seem empowered by admin or SPPS for that matter, to address the concerning parts of their classroom's composition, relying on parent complaint as method. (!) The hallways and atrium spaces should be filled with child color and joy, & were not. Social needs of kids through song and community seemed ignored. Enrichment (visual, tactile...) is very different than accelerated coursework (cognitive). Did not see integrated & child centered enrichment. My daughter's comment was that it smelled like Band-aids and I think that pretty much sums up my impression! Its not just about advancement, its about an innovative approach to the curriculum & a democratic feeling of ownership & authentic learning. Kids here would do well do have some Montessori and Waldorf pedagogy wrapped in.
I have two highly gifted (99th percentile) kids that attend CH. Both of them love the school. Every kid has subjects that are stronger with a wide variety of personalities and learning style. This is also true of my two children. G&T kids have an even larger spectrum (high & low end) abilities than what you typically find in a classroom. The teachers at CH are trained for this and do an amazing job of "customizing" the curriculum to fit the kids. They also work very hard to match learning styles to teaching styles (with parental input.) I find the creative freedom is well balanced with structure - even for my free spirit child. An important aspect of education that is often overlooked for these kids - social development. For the most part, they are in classes with children of their age rather than several years older than they are. The staff and parents are recently, putting much more effort and creativity into building a better sense of community for the school families. This and the spirit and dedication of the new principal are proving to strengthen what was lacking in the school. I would be surprised if even the best private schools could consistently offer all of this.
Capitol Hill has many strengths. Many strong, caring teachers and staff. Great resources for music and art. The other kids here are really neat, plus the parents are really interesting and caring about their kids' education. That being said, I have the sense that this school is resting on it's laurels. Coasting on reputation. I see a lack in creativity, inspiration, and unified school vision and goals, community building is poor. And leadership is almost non-existent and invisible. I see a community chomping at the bit to boost this school's dynamism and it is not being met with similar enthusiasm by administration. It's worrying. The curriculum is accelerated, but I don't see a lot of enrichment or complexity. I do sense the teachers are under a lot of pressure to get through things quickly. Probably some more than others. It also feels somewhat unwelcoming and cool...not so warm and kid-friendly as I'd like to feel in a K-8.
This is a rigorous school. Most classes are challenge classes. Bright kids and kids who like structure and school will do well. However, there is some rigidity and inflexibility. Some of the teachers were unnecessarily tough on kids (not academically speaking, just in how they ran things). Some teachers were wonderful. Some very bright kids at this age will have trouble with the rigidity. I was disappointed in how the school responded to some harassment issues.
Love the teachers who are committed, dedicated and work hard with every student, love the parent community, love the students who contribute their creative, thoughtful, bright ideas in many different ways on a daily basis.
Capitol Hill has an amazing group of teachers!
I loved the environment, the teachers, the students. The smaller class sized helped the learning environment. Being a Gifted and Talented is self-explanatory.

Music Review: 'Souvenir'
Date: June 10, 2009
by: June LeBell
Yes, Virginia, there really was a Florence Foster Jenkins. And her spirit is still alive and well in all of us, whether we dream of being singers or are totally tone-deaf. She was both of those but, oh, so much more.
And, that's why Stephen Temperley's brilliantly conceived and beautifully performed musical play, "Souvenir," starring Judy Kaye and Donald Corren and currently playing at the Asolo Theatre, is so side-splittingly funny and heart-breakingly bittersweet that no one will want to miss it.
Born about the same time the Civil War was ending, Foster Jenkins entered the 20th century as a well-endowed, deep-pocketed club woman who enjoyed giving her money to charities and her questionable talents to her friends. She hired a pianist to accompany her in her musical endeavors and proceeded to give numerous ear-shattering recitals of operatic arias and lieder to the amusement and astonishment of what was, at first, a small group of friends but later morphed into sold-out Carnegie Hall audiences. In addition, there is a recording that is still in circulation, which has become a best-selling CD.
Foster Jenkins heard only the most beautiful singing — in her head — and thought the tears (of laughter) and stifled, choked coughs (of hysteria) coming from her listeners were positive paeans of praise to her "artistry." Delusional? Not at all. Hers was a mind filled with hope and beauty. She loved great music and had the utmost respect for Mr. Mozart, Mr. Brahms and Mr. Verdi.
"Die Mainacht," a great song by Brahms, was something of a mainstay in her, um, repertoire, and when it appeared on her program she added this quote under the title: "O singer, if thou canst not dream, leave this song unsung."
Foster Jenkins may be superficially frou-frou, but beneath her matronly, fervent, upper-class exterior, there beats a heart so filled with music, love and the desire to please, one cannot help fall in love with her, especially in the body and voice of Judy Kaye, the great singing actress who received a Tony nomination for her portrayal of this role on Broadway. Kaye's ability to sing out of tune and rhythm is so uncanny, I felt my mascara dripping from my eyes as I, by turns, laughed so loud and cried so unabashedly I thought they might remove me from the theater.
Donald Corren, as the talented but musically frustrated Cosme McMoon, is only slightly too mannered in his appearance, but his abilities as pianist, singer and actor are award-worthy in a performance that is biting, wrenching and hilarious.
Vivian Matalon's direction is both uproarious and poignant, making this fine musical play nothing less than a jewel. It is theater and, yes, music at their finest, offering riotous entertainment and heart-wrenching nostalgia in a historical vignette that should be seen over and over and over again.

There are two ways for high school athletes to qualify for the annual state track and field meet.
One — hit a qualifying time or distance during the season. Two — get a top-six finish at the Eastern Dakota Conference regional meet.
Throughout the season, the Hi-Liners had no problems hitting qualifying times and have athletes already booked for eight events.
Saturday at the EDC Regional meet in Fargo, the team will likely get a few more.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The athletic directors for the University of North Dakota and North Dakota State have been talking about resuming the schools' football rivalry in three years, but more work needs to be done before the Fighting Sioux and Bison can meet again on the gridiron.

Jonny Evans is wary of Sunderland's new signings starting to gel as the Reds defender looks forward to locking horns with his former club.
The Belfast-born stopper spent two hugely successful loan spells at the Stadium of Light, scoring his only domestic senior goal for the club against Hull in 2007, and is still held in very high esteem by the Black Cats faithful.
With the Wearsiders showing signs of coming into form, Evans is aware United need to be prepared for a tough examination at Old Trafford on Saturday.
"Sunderland have had a bit of a slow start this season but I think Steve Bruce has bought a lot of new players and it's taken some of them a while to gel," explained Evans. "But they've had a draw and a win in their last two games so they'll be coming here wanting to put in a big performance.
"Steve Bruce's teams always seem to do well in the [Barclays] Premier League and he's a good manager. I've got a lot of fond memories from my time at Sunderland but I'll be looking to do a job on Saturday and get three points before the international break."
Evans appreciates it's important the champions do not allow City to disappear any further into the distance in the title race with Roberto Mancini's team currently holding a five-point advantage at the top of the table.
"We've played quite a lot of the big teams around us," he explained. "I don't think City have done that yet. Obviously they could go on and win all those games – we don't know that yet – but we need to keep our run going and hope City slip up."
The centre-back is hoping to be part of a defence that is striving for a fourth consecutive clean sheet in all competitions following the costly collapse in the derby.
"I don't think we've actually conceded that many goals," he reasoned. "It's just the one game against City that's cost

Under the New Freedom Taxi Voucher Program, the Federal New Freedom Grant funds the Taxi Voucher Program, which recently received approval for a two-year extension. The Taxi Voucher Smart Card will replace current paper coupon books.
Clients that have paper coupon books will be able to turn them in and the remaining value will be credited to their Smart Card. Every 30 days the Smart Card can be re-loaded for up to $150 in taxi vouchers at a cost of only $75, which is a savings of 50% for those who qualify.
The card will be imprinted for use only within the Coachella Valley and is an accepted means of payment by all three Coachella Valley taxi franchises.

Paparazzi Photos Lead to Lindsay Lohan Arrest
Posted by David Ozanich — 9 Feb 2011
Photography in the headlines! The one blazing across the homepage of the Los Angeles Times as its top story right now is "Paparazzi shots used to build Lohan case". The story refers to the fact that the infamous actress is being arraigned on felony grand theft charges today after being accused of using the five-finger-discount at a Los Angeles jewelry store:
Store video and paparazzi photos are among the evidence authorities have collected as prosecutors plan to charge Lindsay Lohan with stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store, sources have told The Times.
The law enforcement sources said police have a video from the store showing Lohan wearing the necklace. Authorities also have collected paparazzi photos taken at a later date showing Lohan wearing the necklace in public, said the sources, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing.
Just thought y'all should know. Gotta love the paps in L.A. The photo in this post is by Damian Dovarganes of the Associated Press photographing another photographer photographing what I presume to be the display case from which the famed necklace was stolen. Enjoy your meta-Wednesday.

Guest Blog: A Special Thank You From OpenSFS
Seagate Completes Acquisition of Xyratex
The Exa-scale I/O Workgroup (EIOW – see EIOW.org) accomplished much of what it aimed for this year. We held requirement gathering meetings all over the world, and did an early decomposition of the architecture. A new white paper summarizes the present situation, and frankly, it's more interesting and quite different from what I thought it would be. I'm particularly pleased that storage experts who have been following this have been scratching their heads about a few requirements – such as the implications of lazy commit and rollback. To be somewhat bold and Jobs-ian: what the group p
This week, on September 24 and 25, the EOFS and OpenSFS are holding the second European Lustre Workshop, now called the Lustre Administrators and Developers Workshop (LAD) . Last year, this workshop was very well attended in its first iteration and this year will provide another great opportunity for global Lustre(R) brethren, from developers to administrators to solution providers, to meet and hear the latest in best practices, developments, as well as interact on real world applications of Lustre.
This Thursday, I'll be speaking at South America's largest HPC conference about breaking the I/O bottleneck in HPC storage so please join us if you're planning on to be at the conference. I feel that as an industry, we face many architectural challenges around creating a compute/storage architecture that can perform and scale to meet the requirements of tomorrow's large Petascale and eventually, Exascale systems.
I was recently on a panel discussing the status of exascale storage today. The discussion was aligned on the 10PF, 100PF and 1EF boundaries. For 10PF, there's little to say, Lustre is running on 9 of the top 10 systems, including the 8PF Riken system. Much refinement is possible, Fujitsu has done that for Riken (but has maybe not yet released its patches to the general public), and others will undoubtedly do more.

February 2010 COTM: Voting Time
- yamalam Jan 14, 2010 08:41 AM
Thank you for all your nominations. I've narrowed the field to three choices, selecting our most discussed books on the thread.
A PLATTER OF FIGS AND OTHER RECIPES, David Tanis and Alice Waters
PAUL PRUDHOMME'S LOUISIANA KITCHEN, Paul Prudhomme
KITCHEN DIARIES, Nigel Slater
Place your votes here, by midnight January 18th. And don't forget, they must be in ALL CAPS to be counted!
P.S.This will be my last month coordinating COTM, next month Caitlin McGrath will take over beginning with the March nomination threads. Thanks for participating and forgiving my slight delays and slip-ups, I wish I could've cooked more with all of you, but it is always fun to read along!
For reference, here is the February nomination thread in which these choices are discussed: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/679281
re: MMRuth
I echo everything MMRuth says: this is a tough choice (I own 2 of 3 of the books and would like to own a copy of Kitchen Diaries). Also, I, too, would like to express my gratitude to Ms. Yamalam as she passes the torch to Ms. Caitlin, whom I shall thank in advance!
re: The Dairy Queen
I think I'll be consulting my husband on this one (perhaps w/o mentioning which book I own, and which I don't!). Was there an older thread about cooking from A Platter of Figs? If so, I should go look at it.
re: MMRuth
Yes, someone linked to the PofF thread in the nominations thread...
re: MMRuth
I own all of these! Which makes it a hell of a lot harder....
I wouldn't mind to cook from any of these books, but since this NO book nomination has come in time for Mardi Gras, I would like to nominate PAUL PRUDHOMME'S LOUISIANA KITCHEN.
Thank you yamalam for all the work and thanks Caitlin McGrath for taking over!
They all seem worthy, and I hope whatever doesn't win gets another chance, but my vote will go to LOUISIANA KITCHEN.
And I add my thanks to yamalam for all her hard work.
LOUISIANA KITCHEN--Mine is tattered but COTM would inspire me to try some new recipes, not the ones I do over and over. IMHO, Prudhomme's Seafood-Andouille Gumbo is the best gumbo ever.
But I would not be upset to try either of the others.
LOUISIANA KITCHEN - I think it's a great book for February, more accessible (sp?) in various ways than the other too, and we've never managed to do NOLA/Creole/Cajun food thus far.
I'd be willing to cook from any of the finalists but this month I'll vote for LOUISIANA KITCHEN.
Many thanks to Yamalam for her leadership these past months and my Very Best Wishes for her new Chowpup to be. Looking forward to Caitlin McGrath's tenure and send her mega Good Luck wishes in coralling this crowd of avid and very vocal home cooks.
Longtime lurker, minimal participant, so take my vote with a big ole grain of salt, but...I was completely leaning Platter of Figs, as that type of cooking is really where I'm more comfortable and happy, but I have to say that the Amazon reviews won me over to LOUISIANA KITCHEN. I may not cook from it as much as some, but look forward to new inspirations (plus, I think my husband will be made very happy by whatever I do as he loves NO cooking!). Yamalam, thank you for your hard work -- and good luck with the adventures of parenthood ahead!
I went through my copy of Louisiana Kitchen last night, and to be honest although the recipes look great they are far too heavy and involved for me to make more than one in the month, so I am going with my original choice of KITCHEN DIARIES.
PAUL PRUDHOMME'S LOUISIANA KITCHEN. And many thanks to yamalam for your hard work and to Caitlin for taking over - may it be an easy task!
excited to see what happens with Prudhomme threads (looks likely, eh?)
but I'll cast a vote for
A PLATTER OF FIGS AND OTHER RECIPES, David Tanis and Alice Waters
I'm a first time participant as well and my vote goes to A PLATTER OF FIGS. My waistline could not take a steady diet of the L.K.!
re: foodtrip
I find I can cut down the fat in Prudhomme's recipes a lot, and they still taste great. I can guarantee that if L.K wins, my posts will include discussions on how I pared down the recipes! Spicy, high-fat foods = acid reflux, and I can live without that.
re: Karen_Schaffer
I was going to post the same thing about paring down the fat in his recipes. They don't lose any flavor at all. As for the spices...I find they can also be diminished according to one's preference. DH loves spicy and I seem to be able to handle heat too, so I'll just taste my way through some of the highly seasoned dishes and adapt accordingly..
re: Gio
I know this is a bit of a diversion, but I've always been afraid of the fat in L.K., which is why I bought Prudhomme's Fork in The Road, to get a sense of Prudhomme's own approach to reducing the fat in his cooking. But, FITR seems to be full of all kinds of icky, fakey, ingredients. I'm just wondering, if you both have quite a bit of success in reducing the fat, why Prudhomme didn't just do the same?
P.S. I've been so flaky about participating in COTM lately, mostly due to my obscene and unpredictable work schedule, which is somewhat out of control AND out of my control right now, so, I'm not doing anything other than "discussing" in both the voting and nominations thread right now... I would love to cook from any of the three books under consideration, though...
re: The Dairy Queen
"if you both have quite a bit of success in reducing the fat, why Prudhomme didn't just do the same?"
A couple of reasons. First, people weren't as assiduous in cutting back on fat in the early 80s as they are now. But even more important is to remember that these are restaurant recipes--the recipes as served in his restaurant. They are Prudhomme's recipes, but he didn't actually write the book. He acknowledges a woman named Paulette Rittenberg. It was she who spent a couple of years in Chef Paul's kitchen taking recipes with restaurant-sized yields prepared with professional equipment and making them accessible for the home cook. Her mandate wasn't to adapt the recipes, but to reproduce them as authentically as possible so people could make at home what they had eaten in his restaurant.
re: The Dairy Queen
Oh. Sorry. I misunderstood. But the answer is almost the same. I've mentioned on this board before that Chef Paul's editor was a good friend and office colleague so I know a lot of the back story. His publisher was pressuring him for another book. He was on a very strict, doctor's orders, diet. He refused to do another book (said that just tasting the tested recipes would be problematic for him) unless it specifically conformed to his diet. The publisher wasn't thrilled about it, but finally agreed. So for Chef Paul, at least, it wasn't a question of simply reducing the fat, he had to pretty much eliminate it entirely. And FitR reflects how he personally went about it.
re: The Dairy Queen
As others have noted, one can modify the recipes in LK and still cook successfully from it. I have always, for instance, cut the red and white pepper, esp., to about half--and the results are still plenty spicy.
Another important point: the suggested portion sizes are much larger than required for the average appetite, so most people won't be consuming as much fat as it may first appear.
Still I NEVER use the amounts of butter he calls for (and I'm not a butter-phobe; it's just not necessary). Also, for many of the recipes that don't require high heat, some of the butter can be replaced by olive oil (I do it whenever I make Shrimp Diane or Garlic Shrimp on Oysters and Pasta; these are highly flavorful dishes that do not suffer at all from reducing the amount of overall fat, using some olive oil, and being paired with Barilla's Plus multi-grain pasta.
And we've found that we prefer the nuttiness of brown rice with gumbos or etouffees.) While I follow (and love) his roux-making technique, I use a 2:1 ratio of flour to oil. The roux looks exactlt the same in the end as his does using equal parts, and it has all the flavor, but half the fat.
And I don't usually follow the suggestion to make recipes in two batches, as in, for example, the BBQ shrimp, which the book suggests serves two. I double the recipe, reduce the butter, do it in one batch, and it easily serves seven or eight.
Yet for all the modifications, these recipes never taste anything but rich and flavorful. If LK ends up as the choice, I think CHs will discover that these recipes take to all kinds of healthful modifications without suffering. By its very nature, Cajun cuisine is not exacting.
re: nomadchowwoman
This is all great info, thank you!
re: nomadchowwoman
I completely agree with you. But I think it's worth pointing out that even if you DO use the full 1:1 ratio for making roux, you're only talking about a tablespoon of oil per serving.
re: nomadchowwoman
I do the same thing with the butter and oil, and sometimes even use heart-healthy butter. But I try to save his recipes for an occasion, preceded by and followed by light, low-fat meals - the same way I do some French foods that are high in butter content. With the huge French heritage and accent in New Orleans, butter is pretty darned important!
re: nomadchowwoman
This is all very useful information. What I've found is that I often find that kind of food delicious but way way too salty. So knowing that cutting back in that direction won't hurt is very helpful. Spices I love - the spicier the better, normally.
I guess I'm also a little daunted by someone saying that the recipes are very labor-intensive. Only so many days a month I can really do that kind of thing.
re: LulusMom
I *have* the time to cook now, but one of my favorite things to do is to freeze portions of a labor-intensive dish (only if it freezes well). Heck, I'd never make gumbo or braises or any number of things I make if I couldn't freeze them afterward. But I have a seperate freezer and a full-size fridge downstairs, plus a nice new huge fridge-freezer up here. I love to put some Diana Krall on and cook the day away on a rainy or cold day!
re: yamalam
Yea! That's going to be so much fun. I already made so many recipes from it already (my copy is dated 6/84 !! Lessez les bon temps roulez!!
re: bayoucook
I forgot to vote before we went away last weekend and had a harrowing return trip over Donner Pass in a snowstorm and didn't remember to vote before I left and so......too bad for me. I'm not going to be cooking much from Prudhomme because I just don't like him and can't get into his cooking.
This opinion is long-held and, I'll admit, it doesn't consist of sensible ideas. Maybe I'll try to get the book out of the library and see if I've been wrong all these years.
Maybe I'll buy Kitchen Diaries or it'll be on the shelf of either Berkeley or Oakland's library.....Say goodnight, Joan. "Goodnight, Joan."
re: oakjoan
I have to confess, for completely baseless reasons - in fact, I can't even think of a reason - I've always felt that way about him too. But I'm going to give it a go. Glad you made it home okay. Kitchen Diaries is lovely.
re: MMRuth
I picked the book up at the library today, and feel *somewhat* daunted. Looks like a lot of work. In some ways, every recipe looks the same, but I think that is mainly because there is always this huge list of spices followed by onions, celery, green pepper, garlic. But I have to say, I've always loved this kind of food, so I'm hoping to have some fun with it.
re: LulusMom
I just can't get that excited by Louisiana Kitchen. I've also been working hard to lose some excess pounds since Christmas so I won't be making more than one or two recipes, I'm afraid, although I'm interested to see how people make the dishes a bit lighter and less involved. The BBQ shrimp is currently top of my list.
re: greedygirl
I've never had his BBQ shrimp, but I've made another recipe, and it is absolutely sinfully wonderful. With all the calories and fat that you'd expect from that statement.
re: greedygirl
I've got a lightened version of BBQ shrimp that I love. The original dish is amazing, but all that butter made me feel slightly ill afterwards. I'll post it when the threads go up.

November 26, 2014
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Rudy Gay tied a career high with 41 points, and Sacramento cruised to a 114-97 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.
Isaiah Thomas had 20 points and 11 assists, and DeMarcus Cousins had 18 points and 11 rebounds for the Kings, who've won five of eight.
Gay hit 16 of 25 shots, including 5 of 8 from 3-point range.
Tyreke Evans scored 17 for New Orleans, which trimmed a 23-point first-half deficit to six shortly before halftime, only to fall behind by 23 again in the third quarter and remain behind by double digits the rest of the way.
Anthony Davis added 16 points and New Orleans rookie center Jeff Withey had a career-high 14 points, but that was not nearly enough to prevent the Pelicans from losing for the ninth time in 10 games.
