Indian Cocktails
Every month or so, we get together with some friends and have a theme dinner. this month is India.
since I can't cook and everyone else can, I am in charge of drinks.
Does anyone have some tradtional indian cocktails/spirits I should include as part of my contribution?
Does it have to be cocktails? I would recommend a selection of Rieslings for wine and IPA beers.
If you want to make cocktails, think of what fruits and spices complement Indian food; since a Mango Lassi is a classic drink, you could twist it with Mango Martinis. Since most Indian food tends towards the spicy, I would think you would want the drinks to be on the sweeter side. There are some amazing mixers out there that could be added for some really original flavors.
re: Carrie 218
Thanks, Definitely doesn't have to be cocktails. We do try for authentic though. I like the IPA idea (after 150 years, that qualifies as authentic in my book). I don't really think of wine for Indian, but that could just be my lack of knowledge.
We will have Mango lassi as well. maybe just spike that.
re: lgphil
Reconsider wine -- I like beer but I like my beer really, really dark which doesn't necessarily "go" the way and IPA does. Women especially might seriously appreciate a sweet-ish wine more than beer and a really good Riesling is astonishingly great with Indian food.
Stick with the Kabinetts. Even a Spatlese might be too sweet for some. Depending on how many folks you are having, consider getting two or three different bottles and trying a tasting along with the wines! Get two Kabits and one Spatlese and really experiment. You'll be pleasantly surprised, I assure you!
If you want to really consider an "Indian" cocktail, the classic gin and tonic is a result of British colonialism in the area. Quinine treatments for malaria were cut with gin for added flavor. Probably not something you'd want to pair with a meal, but it has some history behind it and is a wonderful aperitif.
re: negronilover
some of the better liquor stores will have "Indian Tonic" imported from the UK. Schweppes makes it. Its a little more authentic, i think.
There are no "traditional" Indian alcoholic drinks. In Hindu scriptures drinking is referred to as one of the five heinous crimes. Many parts of India are "dry" although alcohol is consumed by many.
The drinks of choice tend towards tea in northern India and coffee in southern India, as well as juices, lemonade, and coconut water, or a lassi- sweet or salty.
That said, beer is popular. Get some Taj Mahal, Kingfisher, or one of the myriad others.
Or find a bottle of Fenny (Indian liquor from Goa made from cashew apple juice) and make cocktails with that or mix with tonic or lemonade for a typical drink.
1. It's not a perfect fit, but a local restaurant does a Tamarind margarita (I think it used to be a tamarind martini, so there may be some room to play around). Not quite sure how they do it, but...
2. chai martinis are also quite popular right now, and Voyant makes a chai cream liqueur.
3. india does produce wine! and some of it not-bad, although it may be difficult to source (www.indianwine.com)
4. And I second Kingfisher - and looove the cheekiness of gin and tonics.
re: Rabbit
in a teenage Midwestern state of boredom, we'd go the local Krishna temple/cafe, get tamarind tea to go and mix it with Jack Daniels in the car...
yum - whole new taste treat.
re: Rabbit
I make a tamarind cocktail with the following:
20ml Tamarind syrup
30ml Dry vermouth
5ml Sweet vermouth
35ml Gin
30ml Lemon juice
Shake and fine-strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Tamarind Syrup - boil a block of crushed tamarind in water for around an hour, then fine strain and mix in the same quantity of sugar.
My own preference is to a hoppy pale ale or an off-dry white, something from Alsace, Germany, or Austria. One local high-end Indian near Boston (Tamarind Bay in Cambrdige, one of my favorites, creative without being fusion-y) offers an Indian white wine, but I haven't tried it.
I am from India and have concocted my own version and serve when I invite people. I take dark rum and add mango pulp (available in indian stores) and fresh ginger, put it in blender with ice and whip it. Mango pulp is already sweet. Vary proportions according to your taste. I tend to use lot ginger. You should be able to taste all flavors, rum, mango and ginger.
My favorite beverage with Indian food is a good Riesling. Few wines compare to the pairing of most any Indian food from creamy curries to firey vindalhos. I run a distillery in Oregon, Sub Rosa Spirits, and we've come up with a slew of Indian inspired cocktails. Alas, we are only available in Oregon, Washington and California. The Saffron vodka has notes of toasted cumin, lemony orange, ginger, black peppers, red chilis and perfumey saffron. I think your friend might like these.
This drink has a pale yellow orange cast to if from the Saffron vodka and Cointreau. The aroma is warm and familiar, yet totally unidentifiable - toasted cumin wafting over orange liqueur and fresh lime. Think of it like a golden Cosmopolitan minus the juice.
2 ounces Sub Rosa Saffron infused vodka
1 ounce Cointreau, Grand Marnier or a high quality Triple-sec
1/2 ounce fresh squeezed lime juice
2 dashes Orange bitters
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with cracked ice. Shake and strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with a long twist of lime. The lime juice has got to be fresh. Will see if I need to add juice to this and make it more cosmo like.
Named after Nagpur India, the hub of the Indian orange trade. Nagpur is the physical center of the country, the point from where all the distances in India are measured.
2 oz. Sub Rosa Saffron vodka
3 oz. Mango juice or orange juice. Apricot nectar was the original ingredient.
2 grinds Black pepper
1 oz. Riesling based simple syrup
Chill over ice, shake vigorously, serve up. Alternatively, build and serve on the rocks.
adapted from Lance Mayhew - Meriwether's - Portland, Ore.
Bharat Mary
2 oz. Sub Rosa Saffron vodka
3 dashes Worcestershire
1 dash Peychauds bitters
3 dashes hot sauce (or more)
fresh Carrot juice (to fill) [though I use tomato juice or V8]
Celery salt (to taste)
Garnish with Indian pickled carrots and peppers
Hot Night in Mambi
1-1/2 oz Sub Rosa Tarragon vodka
1/2 oz fresh lemon juice
1/2 oz simple syrup
Fresh mint leaves
7 Up / Sprite / Squirt
Lemon twist and mint sprig garnish
Muddle a pinch of mint leaves with the lemon juice, simple syrup in bottom of rocks glass. Fill the glass with ice, pour in the vodka, and fill with 7Up. Pour the ingredients into a mixing tin and back into a rocks glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and mint sprig.
South Goa Breeze
2 ounces of Sub Rosa Tarragon vodka
Splash of Cointreau
2 ounces of ginger ale
Orange slice
Add the vodka and Cointreau to a shaker full of ice. Shake well. Pour into a highball glass. Add ginger ale to taste. (The recipe ratio is one-to-one.) Garnish with an orange slice. Goa is a state in southern India bordering on the Indian Ocean and is famous for their beaches.
re: Herbalist
I've tried several of these cocktails when I was reviewing the Sub Rosa Saffron and they are pretty good cocktails.
re: Herbalist
Herbalist, I am in Portland; where would I go to buy your Sub Rosa Saffron vodka? A group of us is going out to an Indian restaurant; we are in charge of beverages and appetizers beforehand. I love the idea of a simple Riesling (on the dryer or sweeter side??), but these cocktails look delicious too! Thanks in advance for the information.
re: altaone
Check Sub Rosa's web site for a list of Portland liquor stores selling the saffron and the tarragon vodka.
But call first - the store at 11th & Hawthorne (downtown) was out of the saffron last week. I never did buy any when I was in town - I wanted to try some first, but didn't manage to get to a bar that has Sub Rosa. Darn...
there is a fantastic rum made in india, called Old Monk. dark rum, with hints of vanilla and caramel flavors. not as dark as goslings or myers, but with a really rich round taste.
indian beers include san miguel and kingfisher among others.
fenni can be made from cashews or coconut, but i have no idea if you can find it outside of india (i could barely find it outside of goa)
there are indeed indian wines now, but i cant reember any great ones off hand
re: thew
Ahh Feni. Gotta love indiginous liquors.
You can get Kazkar brand cashew Feni at at least two Internet sites. One is the remarkably literal...SendLiquor a web retailer located in Princton, NJ. http://www.sendliquor.com/id129511lis... What, no 'Big Boss', 'Cashyo' or 'Reals' brand too? Kazkar Feni is also at WineGlobe for considerably less than the NJ location. http://www.wineglobe.com/11007.html
In the traditional method of making cashew Feni, the cashew apples are manually crushed on a rock, which is carved or shaped like a basin with an outlet for the juice. The juice is collected in a huge earthen pot called Kodem, which is buried in the ground. The juice is then distilled in earthen or copper pots.
According to available data about 4,000 mini traditional distilleries are known to exist in Goa, manufacturing cashew Feni and about 2,200 tiny distilleries manufacturing coconut Feni.
Here's a blurb from the importers....
Kazkar Feni ~ Triple distilled from the fruit of a cashew in Goa, India, there is nothing on earth like a Grateful Dead show... no, make that a bottle of 80-proof Kazkar Feni. These guys are obviously evangelist for Fenni. Kazkar Feni is brought to you by Bringing Feni To The World, (Concord, Ca) in conjunction with Global Spirits & Foods (Goa, India). Visit www.goafeni.com for more information.
A clear spirit Kazkar Feni is not a martini, not a brandy but has entirely it's own unique taste and bouquet. We have made substantial investments in Goa to create a blend that would appeal to the versatile tastes of the international market. Kazkar Feni could be enjoyed straight or as an exotic new mixer.

Barry McAuslan is disabled, but not disabled enough for the Canadian government.
In 2010, the Cut Knife resident was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. McAuslan eventually lost his balance, his eyesight declined, and his legs swell when he sits or stands for too long - ailments that meant he couldn't continue his job in maintenance at a health centre in Macklin.
A health plan helps pay for much of his living costs, but to cover the rest McAuslan has made repeated appeals to the federal government hoping to qualify for the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) disability benefit after his initial application was denied.
A new Social Security Tribunal system established last year created a backlog of 7,200 appeals waiting to be heard in addition to the roughly 3,000 new appeals filed annually. After fighting with CPP for two years, McAuslan says he fears more waiting will compromise his health.
"If I have to wait another year, who knows what will happen to me," he said in an interview. "I've been scrimping on my pills to make it work."
McAuslan's bureaucratic limbo is not unique, disability advocates say. Thousands of others are waiting, too, with little or no information about the status of their appeals or when their cases might go before the Social Security Tribunal, a new hearing system established in April 2013 by the Conservative government, which aims to save $25 million annually.
The two-level tribunal is the result of amalgamating multiple social security appeals boards, including CPP, Employment Insurance and Old Age Security. Income security appeals are heard by 38 full-time tribunal members, a significant decrease from the 1,000 part-time referees hearing cases under the old system.
The backlog is worrying as many wait to get a hearing, or even a notice of a hearing, while struggling to make ends meet, said James Ludwar, a Calgary-based lawyer representing dozens of CPP disability claim clients, including McAuslan. "When you're starting to balance the budget on the backs of the most vulnerable people, that's when it becomes unfair," Ludwar said.
"I've had clients sell assets to survive, move in with relatives and, in one case, go homeless waiting for CPP to make a decision ... These people are suffering. The problem is I don't think anything can be done legally. It's political."
Before the new system, appellants might have waited five to eight months, or even less, for a hearing, he added.
McAuslan said he doesn't qualify for social assistance because of his monthly health plan payout. With rent, a vehicle payment and licensing, bills, medicine and the cost of maintaining a special diet for diabetes, he struggles to cover the cost of living, he said.
"If they drag this out, I'll end up in a health care facility and it'll cost the government $500 a day instead of every month."
In the past year, the tribunal concluded more than 1,000 appeals transferred from the old system and 6,000 more are ready to proceed, a tribunal spokeswoman wrote in an emailed statement.
A question about how long it will take to hear the backlog of cases went unanswered.
"The Tribunal continues to develop and improve its systems and operational processes in order to process cases as fairly and as expeditiously as possible," the statement read.
To date, appeals at the tribunal have a 75 per cent rate of favourable outcomes for
appellants, the spokeswoman stated.
In-person hearings were the norm until the new system - aiming to speed up the process and make it more convenient - allowed tribunal members to hold a hearing by phone, video or by simply reviewing the documents submitted by appellants.
Losing the right to inperson hearings is tough for people with disabilities, said Allison Schmidt, a Reginabased consultant who runs Disability Claims Advocacy Clinic, representing 200 clients.
"You can't always tell the totality of a person's disability just by reviewing paper," she said, adding that the tribunal needs to hire more people to hear appeals before other problems arise. "People are starving. People are phoning me saying they're getting kicked out of their homes. It's a complete and utter disgrace. I don't think people are really aware of what can happen until it happens to them."
She estimates only a few hundred cases went before a tribunal while the remaining files that have been closed since April 1, 2013 were settled without a hearing.
About 60 per cent of disability benefit applications are denied, Schmidt estimates. That's already a disappointing situation, leaving aside the problematic appeals process, she added.
"You have these people paying in for 25 or 30 years - good working people who never take a cent of unemployment insurance, and they try and get the disability benefit, are basically told no and lose everything."

Beyond backcountry with Pemberton's freeskier Treadway in Let's Go Get Small (with video)
Steven Threndyle,Published: Thursday, November 07, 2013
You might be down on your fellow skiers and boarders who utilize Ski Doos to get deep into the backcountry, but the Treadway brothers from Pemberton bring a down-home, hoser-style vibe to big mountain glacier riding that's both humble, authentic, and, well, might change your mind about sled access.
Done with assistance from premium Swedish clothing company Peak Performance, Let´s Go Get Small features freeskier Dave Treadway as he and Henrik Windstedt, "venture way out into the Coast Mountain Range on snowmobiles," as the video intro states.
"Their mission? To simply see what's on the other side of the next mountain. To see what's possible on skis. And to feel really small in the vast territory that surrounds them."
If it's there, Dave Treadway wants to ski it, as he does in Let's Go Get Small.
Let's Go Get SmallMore pictures: < Prev | Next >Email to a friendPrinter friendly
One of their objectives is Mount Monmouth, one of the most remote peaks in the Bridge River country of the Coast Range and the only mountain in the region more than 10,000 feet in elevation. Other killer footage is presented from expeditions to Steller Heli Skiing, Selkirk Wilderness Skiing and Monashee Powder Snowcats, Let's Go Get Small can be seen right now on Vimeo and yeah, the clothes look pretty great, too.

I'm experiencing a strange issue here. Internet Explorer 8 (on a large number of XP devices) seems to have stopped loading applications that some URL's target (for example, a TeamSpeak server link "teamspeak://" allowing you to join a channel by clicking on the link as long as TeamSpeak is installed).
The issue is with our CentraStage support software. Clicking on an RDP or VNC remote session loads the usual IE window saying "Do you want to allow this website to open a program on your computer?", but clicking on Allow simply does nothing. It was working normally on Friday, and it's not a CentraStage issue as other users here at the LA can use it fine within IE. I have also tested it in Google Chrome and Firefox and it works normally. No errors in Event Viewer, nothing in the CentraStage log, nothing in the AV log. Everyone's PC's were off over the W/E and there were no software roll outs, updates, patches etc applied - I'm really baffled!
Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening or what could be causing it?

Showing 11 through 20 of 51 reviewsRocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Robusto
"Mellow & Mild"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Toro
CT wrapper works well on this one. A big winner. I'd smoke five a day if I could.KK in Greenwich, CT February 24, 2012
"Bitter"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Robusto
The wrapper was extremely bitter and I had to put it out about a quarter way through. The smoke output was good, but the bitterness of the wrapper was too overpoweringmatt in boca raton September 8, 2011
"Mild but delicious flavor!"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Robusto
I love this cigar. It's mild, creamy, buttery, almost almond flavored. It's just fantastically smooth and gets better and better with every draw. One of my all time favorites!Mark in USA April 14, 2011
"Changed my mind!"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Toro
Always a Habano, Maduro smoker, I just never liked a Connecticut wrapper. Low and behold, here it is. A "real" natural cigar. NO COMPLAINTS. Fantastic smoke. Start to finish. The only thing I didn't like about it. It had to end. Real eye opener!LeftyJ in Leah, GA March 5, 2011
"Better then the Edge Lite if you like a mild smoke"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Robusto
This was my first 1999 and I have to agree with some reviews I've read, it is on the bitter side but has good flavor over all. I found it slightly more pleasant then the Edge Lite however. The draw backs for me: Bitterness and very uneven burn. But once you get about half way, the burn becomes more consistent and once your are finished, the after tasted was surprisingly good despite the bitter smoke.Tom R in Albuquerque, NM January 17, 2011
"King of Mellow"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Robusto
This is the one that brought me back to cigar smoking. As an earlier reviewer described, toasty/nutty full flavor at the front, creamy smooth leathery goodness on the back. Regarding the gentleman that wrote he was disappointed because this was another "OMG strong" Rocky cigar, I'm pretty sure he had another cigar in mind when he wrote that and not the 1999. It is the embodiment of creamy smoothness.Tom R in Albuquerque, NM January 17, 2011 November 21, 2010
"Good Smoke!"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Robusto
I'm fairly new to Rocky's cigars, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The taste began very mild, but grew stronger after the first 1/4. By the halfway mark, the stick had hit its "sweet spot" -- lots of cedar, smooth leather, and a hint of nuttiness. In a word, delicious. This is one of the only cigars that I've smoked to the nub -- literally; I quit with about a half-inch left, and it still hadn't turned bitter. This is going to become a staple in my humidor.Ben in MA November 15, 2010
"My favorite mild cigar"Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Sixty
This is by far the smoothest, most delicious cigar I regularly smoke. Even my wife, who hates smoking, loves the smell of this cigar. I introduced several friends to cigar smoking with this specific one and they all loved it.bigssa in South Carolina September 30, 2010
"You let me down ROCK..."Rocky Patel Vintage Connecticut 1999 Petite Corona
I was expecting , I don't know, something "nice" from the Rocker. I've smoked almost everything he puts out and in almost every case one could say that there was something Unique, something.. "Rocky" to each smoke. I bought these because they Looked nice ..with their light color and satiny sheen ,,, the way they're made. But I was really let down. The smoke was almost tasteless except for its Hot, Acidic, Sour , Eye Squinting Harshness. I kept waiting for a saving Second Third but it got even Worse. I couldn't last to the last third. I tried another one days later thinking that I may have gotten the EXPECTED Rotten Apple of the Bunch but with almost identical results. I'll stick with THE EDGE for now thanks...Steven in Sunrise, Florida September 8, 2010
"The perfect size for a medium mild cigar"Previous Next
I really like the VIntage 99 petite corona. It is the perfect size for a lunch time smoke. These last me about 45 minutes. Generally a good draw, pretty consistent, nice creamy tast.Snod in Denver September 7, 2010

For [the shepherds] it wasn't enough to see the angels. You'd think it would have been. Night sky shattered with light. Stillness erupting with song. Simple shepherds roused from their sleep and raised to their feet by a choir of angels: "Glory to God in the highest!" Never had these men seen such splendor. But it wasn't enough to see the angels. Since they wouldn't be satisfied until they saw him, you can trace the long line of Jesus-seekers to a person of the pasture who said, "Let's go . . . Let's see." (Luke 2:15)

A little about me...
I currently live in Pahrump, Nevada however, I plan on moving to the Las Vegas area within 1 year. I love the Southern Nevada area and look forward to meeting new friends there.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for someone to grab dinner with, go to the movies with, talk about things in general, travel and do new and old stuff with. I prefer talking on the phone rather than e-mails, chating or texting, but texting can be fun as well. There has to be an attraction between the two of us. Unless you are a 30 year old Supermodel, smoking is a disqualifier....lol. I love humor and making people laugh. If anything I have said catches your eye, send me a message or ask me a question.
I'd just like to add...

2015 World Scout Jamboree
In 2015, more than 30,000 Scouts and leaders from 161 countries around the world will converge on Kirara-hama, Yamaguchi, Japan, for the 23rd World Scout Jamboree.
The event will provide opportunities to raise awareness about global issues, explore the environment, participate in community service, make friends from around the world, and deepen understanding of developments in science and technology. The world jamboree is a unique opportunity for participants to experience an exciting program of activities, including: Global Development Village, City of Science, Cross Road of Culture, and the Peace Program.
Participants will live and learn with fellow Scouts from around the world. They will be housed in tents along with the BSA contingent but will soon venture out to mingle with tens of thousands of people for two weeks of activities and adventure. That's right, a world fellowship exercise on an enormous scale!
We don't want any of our Scouts to miss out on this life-changing experience. This is where we need your help. Attached are two graphics for your use on your council's website. We would hope that you help us promote this outstanding event by placing the World Jamboree logo on your website and linking it to www.scouting.org/worldjamboree. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hoping to avoid a real estate crash, a state senator wants to incarcerate everyone from bankers and escrow agents to home buyers who commit mortgage fraud.
The proposal by Sen. Jay Tibshraeny, R-Chandler, would spell out in statute that it is illegal to deliberately misrepresent financial or other material information when buying a home and obtaining a mortgage.
Just a single offense could result in a 2 1/2-year prison term. And those who are involved in multiple schemes potentially face five years behind bars.
Felecia Rotellini, superintendent of the state Department of Financial Institutions, acknowledged there already are both criminal and civil laws designed to go after those who commit fraud. And she said her agency already has managed to convict people involved in such schemes.
But Rotellini said SB1221 likely would make prosecutions easier.
Potentially more significant, Rotellini said this law spells out that home buyers involved in these kinds of frauds are equally culpable — and can be equally punished.
"It will help to cover the gamut of players,'' she said.
Tibshraeny said the frauds take several forms.
For example, a home buyer may arrange to get cash back from a purchase. That means the "sales price'' of the house does not represent its true market value.
Similarly, there are situations where appraisals are inflated. In the case of refinancing, that means borrowers can get more money out in cash than the house may be worth.
And mortgage companies may inflate the income of would-be buyers to ensure they qualify for a loan, one they otherwise might not be able to afford.
"None of this was a problem when the real estate market was rising,'' Tibshraeny said. But he said there are many areas where loans on homes are far more than their worth, a situation he said could cause the collapse of real estate values throughout entire neighborhoods.
Tibshraeny said the innocent victims include people who have bought into these neighborhoods, paying inflated prices that are based on "comps,'' meaning recorded sales of comparable homes. If these comps are fraudulent, then the new buyers have overpaid.
Rotellini said her agency has broad powers over both mortgage bankers and mortgage brokers.
But she said she has no authority over home buyers who in many cases may be the primary perpetrators of the fraud.
"In fact, the buyer in these cash-back schemes is the primary perpetrator,'' Rotellini said. "They're the one that's getting the loan that's been misrepresenting the value of the property or other aspects of it.''
If nothing else, Rotellini said she believes having a specific law on the books making mortgage fraud a crime will act as a deterrent.
"Maybe that's wishful thinking,'' she said. But Rotellini said a new statute — and the stiff penalties — might convince would-be schemers to reconsider.
She said, though, that even new laws will not immediately result in more prosecutions.
"These cases take a long time,'' Rotellini said.
"We have to unravel the transactions and trace the documentation through the various professions,'' she added. "But we have.''

While biomarkers are needed to complement ultrasound in the early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC; liver cancer), neither des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP) nor the most widely used biomarker, alpha fetoprotein (AFP), is optimal, according to a new study in Gastroenterology, the official journal of the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute.
"Most surprising was the finding that patient demographics influenced both des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin and alpha fetoprotein values, but in opposite directions," said Anna S. Lok, MD, AGAF, of the University of Michigan Medical Center and lead author of the study. "This observation merits further investigation, as it might impact the accuracy of these biomarkers in the detection of liver cancer."
The study was conducted in 10 centers in the U.S. and funded by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, National Institutes of Health.
Among 1,031 patients randomized in the Hepatitis C Antiviral Long-Term Treatment Against Cirrhosis Trial, a nested case-control study of 39 HCC cases (24 early stage) and 77 matched controls was conducted to compare the performance of AFP and DCP. Testing was performed on serial serum samples collected during a 12-month period prior to the time of HCC diagnosis. Study results indicated that:
DCP was not superior to AFP in the early detection of HCC in patients with advanced hepatitis C and neither AFP alone, DCP alone, nor the combination of AFP and DCP was sufficiently accurate to be used for HCC surveillance. The combination of both markers enhanced the sensitivity, indicating that these two markers are complementary. Therefore, prospective studies should be conducted to determine if combining both markers will improve the detection of early HCC and to establish the optimal cutoff values that should be used for patient recall and further testing.
"Until better serum markers are available, ultrasonography remains the preferred tool for HCC surveillance. However, reliable biomarkers to complement ultrasound may improve the detection of early HCC in clinical practice where interpretation of ultrasound is variable," added Dr. Lok; in this study, diagnosis of early HCC was triggered by surveillance ultrasound in only 58 percent of patients.
Liver cancer is the sixth most common malignancy and the third most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The incidence of HCC in the U.S. is increasing and is largely attributed to hepatitis C. While the survival of patients with most malignancies has improved over the last decade, five-year survival of patients with HCC has remained less than 10 percent. The poor outcome of patients with HCC is related to late detection with more than two-thirds of patients diagnosed at advanced stages of disease. A major problem with HCC surveillance is the lack of reliable biomarkers. While AFP is the most widely used biomarker for HCC surveillance, experience with DCP is limited.

A team of leading telecommunications lawyers in Washington, DC, is working with the Urban Libraries Council (ULC) to develop recommendations for changing the federal E-Rate program so that more libraries receive more discounts on telephone and internet costs. Reed Hundt, who developed E-Rate as chair of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission, is now one of the attorneys advising ULC on how to adjust the program to fit a shifting digital landscape...

FCC Chairman Wheeler Announces Plan to Increase E-Rate Funding
November 19, 2014
On Monday, November 17, 2014, FCC Chairman Thomas Wheeler announced his plan to take the next step in the E-rate modernization process. Wheeler's proposal outlines a plan to increase the annual E-rate cap by $1.5 billion, increasing the budget from $2.4 to 3.9 billion. According to the FCC, the increase would allow for greater investment in high-speed network infrastructure, particularly fiber optic cabling, to meet the demands of expanding Wi-Fi connectivity in libraries and schools. The improved data infrastructure would increase high speed access in rural and low income communities that struggle to support the demands of modern connectivity and bandwidth goals. The growth will be a combination of payments for costly one-time non-recurring infrastructure upgrades and increasing monthly recurring charges for Internet access. The FCC believes this will increase each phone bill by just less than $2 per year. To learn more about the proposal, read this blog post from FCC Managing Director Jon Wilkins. The blog includes links to an E-rate Data Update and press fact sheet.
ULC Research Research on E-Rate Filed with FCC
September 24, 2014
Last week, ULC filed new research on large library systems with the FCC. The report shows the largest 5% (by size or by usage) of library systems support 63% of total Wi-Fi users in public libraries. For these large systems, square footage alone is not an equitable predictor of Wi-Fi costs.The study, commissioned by ULC and undertaken by a Stanford University researcher, is based on data collected by the Institute of Museum and Library Services on public libraries and has been shared with them.
ULC is urging the FCC to better understand not just the largest public library systems, but the needs across all public libraries - urban, suburban, towns and rural communities. In addition to the research, our filing asks the FCC to consider what is needed to create an E-Rate system that serves all libraries no matter size or location.
ULC strongly believes equitable access to adequate E-Rate funds across all types of public libraries is essential to building healthy communities across the United States. Read the letter (PDF) from Susan Benton, ULC president and CEO, that was part of the filing.
Governor Pens Letter to Obama Urging E-Rate Support
September 24, 2014
Connecticut Governor Daniel Malloy recently wrote President Obama to thank him and the FCC for the recent order involving the modernization of E-Rate.
In regards to the upcoming FCC proceeding, Malloy noted that E-rate is a "topic of equality and opportunity." Further, Malloy wrote, "My goal for Connecticut is to ensure that robust Internet access is available to every student and teacher in every school and to every person in every library. Internet access in our schools and libraries should be as reliable and fast as in businesses and homes on the leading edge of Internet connectivity. Specifically, I would like to see one gigabit per second connectivity to every school and library building, and at least five megabit per second Wi-Fi connectivity in every room in these buildings at time of peak use.
Malloy adds, "In addition, I would like to see every school and library connected to each other, so that they can share digitized material." Read the letter here (PDF).

Track & field competes at Albany Spring Classic
Bearcats turn in nine first-place finishes
April 19, 2014Tweet
Contact: David O'Brian (firstname.lastname@example.com)
ALBANY, N.Y. – Sophomore Brandon Bordeau swept a pair of events, highlighting Binghamton's performance at the Albany Spring Classic. Team standings were not available at the end of the meet.
Bordeau captured the men's shot put (51-7 ¼) and discus (142-10). Also winning events on the men's side were graduate student Jacob Platel in the hammer (187-3) and freshman Jon Alkins in the 200 (21.65).
On the women's side, first-place finishers included freshman Keishorea Armstrong in the 100 (11.79), sophomore Alexis Hatcher in the 1,500 (4:42.8), freshman Sarah Haley in the pole vault (11-1 ¾) and sophomore Tori Shaffer in the high jump (5-7).
In addition, Armstrong anchored the first-place 4x100 relay team which also included senior Kathleen Klein and juniors Ivory Taussig and Alexx Baum.
Up next for Binghamton is Penn Relays, which run April 24-26
NOTE: On Friday night, Binghamton had other runners compete at the Princeton/Larry Ellis Invitational. Sophomore Ethan Hausamann was 16th in the 5,000, but broke the school record with a time of 14:20.61. The old mark of 14:22.69 was set by current graduate student Jeff Martinez in 2011.

September 4, 2008—Two months into his tenure as the World Bank's Integrity vice president, Leonard McCarthy has set ambitious short-term goals for himself and for INT. "My immediate priorities are to get our performance up, make the Volcker recommendations work optimally, and operate in constructive sync with other parts of the Bank," he says.
"In doing so, we will have to heighten the sense of urgency; strike a balance between helping operational colleagues in Washington and investigating allegations abroad; make the links between corruption and development more clear; focus on the right priorities; and produce accelerated results for INT and the institution."
Remarkably, he says all of this without appearing to take a breath.
A History of Fighting Corruption
A South African national with a background in law and prosecution, McCarthy previously headed the Directorate of Special Operations (DSO) in South Africa—a unit known locally as the Scorpions. Asked how the unit got its name, McCarthy jokes, "It sounds less scary in Zulu." As director of the DSO, McCarthy provided strategic and operational oversight over information analysis, investigation, prosecution, and civil litigation, while managing a staff of more than 500.
During his tenure, the directorate pursued, investigated, and prosecuted a number of high profile cases, often working closely with Scotland Yard, the FBI, the International Criminal Court, the European Anti-Fraud Office, and development agencies in the area of corruption. Prior to his work in the directorate, McCarthy was appointed director of public prosecutions by then President Nelson Mandela.
Bob Zoellick announced his selection of McCarthy to head INT on May 5, and McCarthy began at the Bank on June 25. McCarthy notes that Zoellick has provided strong leadership and support for INT and its mission. "The president has impressed upon me the importance of the Bank's continuing success in the area of anti-corruption."
INT by the Numbers
McCarthy has already tried to get a sense of the magnitude of the problem. "From what I have seen in reviewing INT's investigative portfolio over the past few fiscal years, INT's staff face a huge number of challenges, both in the complexity of cases, as well as the number of different sectors they must become conversant in to do their jobs properly."
"I decided to look at the numbers," he says. "The Bank presently operates over 1,500 projects in some 127 countries in more than a dozen sectors, with a total net commitment greater than $110 billion. A rough analysis of the ratios over the last three years indicates that INT has been involved in 8 to 9 percent of Bank projects in that timeframe."
Greater Transparency
McCarthy points to some recent progress, in terms of transparency as well as enforcement. "We announced the sanction of a firm in a major case in the Philippines on August 22, and just the day before we posted on our external website our second publicly available redacted Final Investigative Report, this one involving a case in Honduras."
McCarthy said he thinks this increased transparency will help INT, both by showing that the Bank takes the issue of corruption seriously and holds wrongdoers accountable, and by removing some of the 'mystique' around INT's operations. "I encourage staff to read these reports, as it will also give them a better sense of the complexities we in INT deal with."
Other areas McCarthy said he was hoping to improve include moving forward quickly with additional "high value" sanctions, and meeting the timeframes for closing investigations recommended in the Volcker report.
He also wants to increase the number and quality of referrals of wrongdoing to member governments, and move INT further into what he calls "anticipatory business—developing threat assessments that would be of value to the institution."
The establishment in INT earlier in the year of a Preventive Services Unit—another recommendation of the Volcker report—has already generated high demand for INT to share lessons from past investigations.
Looking Forward
Asked why he joined the World Bank, McCarthy says, "I've always been intrigued by the intersection between development dynamics, law, ethics, and economy, and I am committed to the vision and mission of the Bank."
Since his arrival, McCarthy says he has been most impressed by the Bank's staff. "It's an institution full of good people doing good things, and I'm honored to be a part of it."
INT staff also come in for significant praise. "We have extremely competent, hard-working people in this unit. Their diligence, dedication, and capacity for work are staggering. I could have used some of them in Jo'burg."
McCarthy stresses that it is critical to integrate INT within the Bank, and he described his initial plans to get that work underway. "Later in September, INT will be hosting all the Bank Group's operational vice presidents, to share with them our strategic vision for this department and seek comments on how we can assist them in their own deliverables.
"We will also be embarking on an INT Integrity Week on October 28, 2008, which will be an opportunity to explain to a larger audience how INT works and what we set out to achieve. From such input and advice, I am confident that we will emerge with greater consensus in positioning INT as a core business partner in the Bank Group."
"INT is not alone in this effort," McCarthy notes. "We are grateful to the many Bank staff who raise concerns with us, and we know that it is only by working together across the entire Bank Group that we can make a real difference in reducing the incidence of corruption in our projects, and measuring our impact."

Reacting to the disaster at the Sago Mines in West Virginia, lawmakers passed a bill (S. 2803) designed to improve mine safety and protect the health of mine workers. It became P.L. 109-236. The law requires that mine operators adopt and maintain an accident response plan for when miners are trapped. Under the law, the plan must include redundant local communications systems, emergency air supplies, escapeways, emergency training, and wireless communications systems to allow contact between trapped miners and officials on the surface. To encourage new technology, the bill provides grants for those developing new mine safety equipment. The law also establishes an interagency working group to share technology, research, and developments in mine safety and emergency response.

Peterson Back In Camp, Committed To 2011 SeasonPosted by on August 5, 2011 – 9:46 am
Vikings superstar RB Adrian Peterson is back at 2011 Verizon Vikings Training Camp after being away for a few days due to the birth of his baby boy. Peterson, who flew back to Houston to be with his family, said his new son's name is Adrian, Jr.
"It's been pretty exciting," Peterson said. "I've had time to go back and spend time with my son. It was fun to sit back and hold him. Just the whole experience. But I'm back here and focused on football. I'm ready to get the ball rolling."
And the Vikings are ready to give the ball to Peterson. He's the crown jewel of an offense that will surely feature him frequently. Bill Musgrave's offense will be quite different from the scheme Peterson has played in for all four of his seasons, but Peterson seems to embrace the challenge of learning a new system and he also seems to think the new system will fit him well.
"There are a lot of changes," Peterson commented. "Obviously it's different terminology, the running back is definitely asked to do a lot more and I'm excited about it. Different formations and different looks that the running backs have…[it's] outside of the box. I'm excited to get this instilled in my mind, this playbook, and then get out there on Sundays and showcase the new Vikings offense."
On Peterson's first day back with the club, he met with reporters after the Friday morning walk-through. Because he's entering the last year of his rookie contract, he was persistently asked about his satisfaction with his contractual status and with any progress that might (or might not) be happening on a new deal to keep him in Minnesota. Unlike what we see from so many superstars in sports, though, Peterson didn't seem worried about his contract. He was clearly more focused on getting back onto the field and playing football.
"I'm comfortable with where I'm at," Peterson insisted. "I'm committed to my deal. It's obviously the last year of my deal so I have guys that take care of that for me. I let those guys handle that. For now I'm focused on football; I'm not worried about contract at all. At all. My main focus is on doing what I can do, learn this offense and help the Minnesota Vikings win a Super Bowl."
When asked again if he was comfortable playing while in the final year of his contract, Peterson reiterated his commitment to the team and to the season.
"I'm here," he said. "I'm here and ready to roll for training camp. I haven't thought about contract. That's where I'm at.
"The only thing I can control is what I do. And that's coming out and helping the Vikings get [wins]. I feel like as long as I continue to do that, then everything else will take care of itself."

I just hope the front office doesn't play games and wait until the end of the season to open up talks. They should do it now and show how important he is to the team. They shouldn't risk losing him. No AP makes the stadium deal alot tougher.

With the abuse that A.P. takes because of his hard running style, it does say a lot about his character that he isn't talking about his contract, or hinting about other teams he'd like to play for. I hate it when guys do that, I'm glad A.P. is letting his football do the talking.

LOL i agree but then again he shouldnt be complaining because he is making over 10mil this year. Now if he was making what chris johnson was making which is less than 1mil, yeah i bet he would be complaining too. I think that CJ has a right to sit out. He agreed last year to about a 700k increase on his contract for the previous year after rushing for 2k yards with a promise from the team that they would get him a new deal b4 this season started. And they failed to do that. I think he's supposed to make 800k this year. CJ just understands that this is after all a business. The owners don't care about the players. They ask the players to be loyal to the team, but they can cut the players at any point for no reason. Where is the owner's loyalty to the players? Say CJ gets a serious injury and the team cuts him. He would have never been compensated for what he did in 2009. Not to mention he also had a solid rookie and 3rd year. Nothing wrong with what CJ is doing. He just wants his well deserved share of the pie. I guess what im trying to say is if a player has been way underpaid for their production like CJ2k, then they have the right to sit out and demand more money. Other than that, i do agree that more players should have AD's attitude when it comes to contracts and stuff off the field.

@dyelan and other Berrian doubters,
First off remember that Berrian had lots of injury problems last season, including the dreaded Hamstring Pull.
He did have a game where he snared 9 p a s s e s for about 85 yards.
When healthy, Bernard Berrian is capable of near Pro Bowl play!

Please Mike Please tell Rick or Leslie to do anything to sign AP to a LONG term deal Why do the vikings do this, it is the worst managment you can have dont get me wrong i LOVE the way we usually draft and buliding through the draft is the best way to make a great franchise, but it isnt just drafting them is ensuring that you keep your best draft picks lately we have been forgetting that Ray edwards, Sidney, and we had many chances to resign them but decided not to becasue….. i mean i cant think of one reason people will bring up the risk of rice and his injury but i have never understood this, we were scared to bring back and pay a 24 year old but we were okay paying FAVRE 1 MILLION EVERY GAME!!! KNOWING HE COULD GET KNOCKED OUT ANY MOMENT it just kills me as a viking fan because from everyhting i have seen Rick speilemen only cares about drafting the players but not resigning them
By vikings4life on Aug 5, 2011 | Reply
Sidney would of never wanted 16 million a year and unless it was what he wanted then OKAY dont sign him but he is so young if you take a risk on anyone with injury it hsould be a young player instead of one who is 40, there are only negatives to not signing AP for 5 more years, lets say his production reduces well since he is under contract we could then trade him and get compensation but I PROMISE I PROMISE I PROMISE if he becomes a free agent he will never wear a vikings uniform again, this is somehting that could truly destroy the vikings we loose AP we loose the VIkings

Congrats on the little one AP. Wishing you continued success as your career moves forward. As a former coach it is very refreshing to see a player who is all about the success of the team. Continue to be the person you are and God will continue to bless you. The Vikings organization has made some questionable moves in the past, but they are not that stupid to let the best running back in the league get away. AP is the best, great attitude, a leader, hard worker, and excellent role model, what team would not want to keep that type of player.

Are you people screaming for a new contract for Adrian nuts? RBs like to leave early, so let them work it out when it is time… I want him to stay too, but to think we should state terms etc. in a blog is way wrong, especially when he said he is abiding by his deal and is thinking football. There is OCU complex here. CONGRATS SUPERMAN, now teach them other vikes to hang on to the ball!
By skolpurpleandgold on Aug 5, 2011 | Reply
Congats AP. Your a good man and a great player. Hope other players look to you as an example of what a football player should be like. Honor your contract. Tear 'em up on the field big guy. I'm sure the Vikes will make him happy with a nice contract next year.

None of you remember the 3 fumbles vs the Saints after fumbling away home field advantage vs the Bears. How about the slave comment. The fact he doesn't know how to block.
Hope they can resign him. Remember when Robert Smith abruptly retired after the 2000 season with no warning to the team & set the Vikings back for nearly 5 yrs.

Mike W – I hope you are man enough to own up to the fact that you were dead wrong all last year on McKinnie. When all of us were saying he was one of the biggest liabilities on the OL, you dismissed all the fans by saying "well you obviously don't know what you're talking about because he gets high grades from all the coaches ". Now that McKinnie's been cut, McNabb at least has a chance to stay on his feet…GO VIKES!

I doubt very many of us know what the heck you were talking about in

It is necessary to use periods, commas, and blank spaces to make what you write more readable.
Unless, of course, you don't want us to understand what you are trying to say!

I'm a huge Robert Smith fan. It seemed like his disgust was less about $$$ and more about Denny Green's wacky rules that applied to everyone but Moss. Smith is a genious. He doesn't need to abuse his body at a young age, when he has talents off the field to make a sizeable income.

Don't expect Wobs to be trashing Viking players. I'm sure Viking management, coaches, and even players peruse his work. If someone at your workplace posted on a website that you're a worthless employee, you probably wouldn't rush to give them an interview when you land the big deal. His job is to give us topics that support the team's day to day operations. It's more open ended, and encourages more of our opinions and insights.
By Arrow86 on Aug 5, 2011 | Reply
I don't know Adrian Peterson personally. With the way he was smiling and deflecting the topic about his contract, I'm sure he and his agent have had some discussions with the Vikes, if he's not worried about it at the moment, I'm not going to worry about it either.

You have to believe that AP is giving his best public relations response. He'd be benched if he came out and said. "Man, I'm not doing anything until I get my contract…" All this talk goes under the table. It would be naive to think that he hasn't been approached by every team in the league already…

AP Does have the best attitude for the team, league, and the young people with dreams. More players need to be about the game and not the money. Congrats on your boy, and good luck this season AP! :)

This month marks a huge change in the Quantum: Origins universe. I have opened up the project as a collaborative effort to accept the creative input of other artists and writers. The scope of the project is huge. Imagining how many systems, galaxies, and planets that are out there in the vast universe, it's easy to see that there's loads of room for creation. As an artist/writer, I have certain talents and strengths that I do really well and then there are other creative abilities I fall short on. I believe this is the case with many artists but when you have a community that spans a large variety of talents, it can all come together in a perfect meld and produce award winning material. In it's current stage, the project is looking for artists to do character art, create alien races, invent space craft and vehicles, and design new worlds, planets, and systems. We need artists who can submit landscape scenery to our universe. A collaborative example: Someone may design a planet, I would write up the story behind it, and someone else would use that information to paint scenery of the world while yet another artist may feel inspired to create a race indigenous to that planet. Another way of contributing which has already helped support the project: Some artists have the creative spark to just paint. These artists create because it's fun or because it's therapeutic: whatever their reasons, they paint incredible things that don't belong to any current project. Quantum: Origins is proud to give these works of art a home and a story, helping them to become part of an epic collaborative work of science fiction. If we, as a collaborative effort, pour our creativity into this project, it is a very real possibility we'll see it come to life in comics, books, games, TV and Movies. I look forward to working with you all.

Growing as a digital artist, I attempt to always stay motivated and inspired. I hope that most visitors to my gallery would notice a continual pattern of growth/improvement. Most of my works are derived from my own sci-fi universe, QUANTUM: ORIGINS - I invite you to take a look at it and read bits of my story where provided.
I like to meet other artists and I appreciate the social side of deviantART.
