|On Hessian Limit Directions along Gradient Trajectories
Given a non-oscillating gradient trajectory $|\gamma|$ of a real analytic function $f$, we show that the limit $\nu$ of the secants at the limit point $\mathbf{0}$ of $|\gamma|$ along the trajectory $|\gamma|$ is an eigen-vector of the limit of the direction of the Hessian matrix $\operatorname{Hess} (f)$ at $\mathbf{0}$ along $|\gamma|$. The same holds true at infinity if the function is globally sub-analytic. We also deduce some interesting estimates along the trajectory. Away from the ends of the ambient space, this property is of metric nature and still holds in a general Riemannian analytic setting.
Keywords:gradient trajectories, non-oscillation, limit of Hessian directions, limit of secants, trajectories at infinity

Vintner Lunch Experience
ML Enjoys Her Day on the Train
The Vintner Lunch Experience
By Melodie Hilton, Director of Marketing and Public Relations
As an employee of the Wine Train, I have the opportunity to ride fairly frequently and, I never get tired of it. A trip on the Wine Train is a chance for a sumptuous and leisurely lunch when life frequently reduces me to a hurried sandwich hunched over paperwork; or worse frenetic chores shoved into the middle of a screaming hot day. It is the chance to meet new friends and enjoy (again) the beauty of the Napa Valley.
Friday, July 17, 2009. The T-Vine Vintner's Lunch
At the last minute, a table for two cancels and I jump at the chance to ride for lunch on this beautiful mid-Summer day. The temperature is in the low 70's though we may expect to see it rise to the 90's by the time we get to St. Helena.
I am a fan of T-Vine wines. I love the style and find it to be a real crowd pleaser – yummy, fruity, and delicious. You don't have to be a wine aficionado to like Greg Brown's wines, nor do you have to be rich to afford them. Most retail in the low-to-mid $30s.
As I board the train and take my seat, Napa Valley Wine Train Wine Director Ryan Graham greets me. He wants to know why I am sitting alone and quips, "Have you been stood up?" I look around and smile, it won't take me long to make new friends today.
After Ryan heads off to check on other guests, my steward Jose, steps up to offer me a fresh, warm hand towel smelling slightly of rose water. I clean my hands and resist the urge to wipe my face (and my makeup) off.
The train starts its journey Up Valley so slowly that I only realize it is moving when I look out the window and watch the station fade into the background. Jose brings around my appetizer, along with my first glass of T-Vine, the 2005 Napa Valley Zinfandel.
It is exquisitely paired with fennel encrusted local halibut served with sweet pea puree. Zinfandel and halibut might seem a bold move, but executive Chef Kelly Macdonald says, the tannins in the fish – the fennel, the iron and sweet flavors of the sweet peas (whole and pureed) match the tannins in the wine. Doing the same thing are the dicon sprouts which are a little peppery and taste of horseradish.
"If the wine's complexity was the first thing you noticed,"Chef said, "this dish wouldn't work here. There would be too much going on. But the wine is straightforward, very smooth, with some toast and some oak, blending perfectly with the preparations of the fish."
By the time we get to the second course, the group of four Australians across from me are laughing and snapping pictures of me and the Chef, as he drops by to talk about the food; and me and the Wine Director, as he drops by to tease me. There is lots of laughing and mugging for the camera.
We all love the 2006 Napa Valley T-Vine Syrah which was paired with duck confit and spinach salad, served with caramelized onions and cherries. Chef pulls out one of his secret weapons on this dish: Ouzo-soaked licorice diced into small bites. These things explode in your mouth and tease you into taking another sip of wine to blend the duo on your tongue.
It may have been the Petite Sirah that stole the show, though the Zinfandel ran a close second.
"The structure of the wine with the red meat," mused T-Vine's assistant winemaker Fernando Candelario, "it is well-balanced. The delicious medium-rare ribeye pairs beautifully. This wine shows well with this, or perhaps a very nice New York steak or even ribs. The characteristics of this wine are its fruity (cherries and a little bit of plum), all-in-all a nice finish on the palate."
Chef grilled the wonderful local ribeye steaks in the tiny kitchen downstairs and served them with artichoke hearts and pommes frites with lavender aioli. I almost wanted two glasses of the Petite to help me get through the generous steak.
What did the Australian's have to say about the lunch? It was "Fair Dinkum."
Also sitting a table away from me that day were Lou and Muriel. This interesting local couple was enjoying their 61st wedding anniversary. They have been celebrating on the Wine Train for 10 years now, and Jose (our steward for the day) was the second server they met on the Train nine years earlier. You would never guess this couple, who ran off to Reno to get married in 1948 (they said it would never last), was celebrating that many years of matrimony . . . let alone life -- clearly very young in spirit and body.
The three hour journey was over much too fast, and I did have to go back into the office and work. One of these days, I will indulge in the Vintner's lunch and head off with my new friends to wander downtown Napa, or maybe even take a nap. ML

PAHO/WHO report cites model efforts that can be replicated in both high- and lower-income countries
New York, 21 September 2011 (PAHO/WHO) - Countries in the Americas have pioneered effective ways to fight the growing epidemic of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), setting examples that other countries around the world can follow, says a new report released by the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization (PAHO/WHO) this week during the historic U.N. summit on NCDs in New York.
In presenting the report on Tuesday at a special "Americas" event coinciding with the U.N. summit, PAHO Director Dr. Mirta Roses announced a new NCD forum that brings together governments, the private sector and civil society to support efforts to prevent and control noncommunicable diseases. Some 3 million deaths could be prevented in the next 10 years through collaborative implementation of effective policies and practices, she said.
"We, all of us, got ourselves into this mess," Dr. Roses said. "The NCD tsunami is a product of human action, and human action is what is going to take us out of this. We have one goal: to work together to do what has to be done, and we can do it right now."
NCDs such as cancer, heart disease, chronic respiratory illness and diabetes are today the leading causes of death in the Americas. Three out of four deaths in the hemisphere are due to NCDs, and the number of NCD deaths and illnesses in the Region is expected to increase more than 40 percent by 2030 if current trends continue.
To confront this challenge, countries throughout the Americas have implemented a range of initiatives to improve care for NCDs, to raise public awareness of prevention, and to encourage healthier lifestyle choices by individuals, including by changing the environments in which people make such choices, particularly about tobacco and alcohol use, physical activity, and diet.
Event: "The Beginning of the End of NCDs in the Americas"
The PAHO/WHO report, Non-Communicable Diseases in the Americas: Building a Healthier Future, was presented at a special event organized by PAHO/WHO with support from the World Economic Forum, the Latin American and Caribbean Group (GRULAC), Canada and the United States, held on Sept. 20 in New York. Speakers included Dr. Denzil Douglas, Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis; Dr. Salomon Chertorivski Woldenberg, Secretary of Health of Mexico; and Dr. Howard Koh, U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health. CNN en español journalist Claudia Palacios served as moderator.
Prime Minister Douglas said the Americas should be proud of their leadership in addressing NCDs and its role in bringing the issue to the attention of the U.N. General Assembly. He thanked Canada and the United States for their support, adding that the NCD challenge called for increased international, multisector collaboration. ""There is no room for us to be complacent; we must build on the efforts to date," he said. "There is a critical need for partnership and an all-of-society approach."
Secretary Chertorivski agreed, noting that while the health sector must play a leading role in the fight against NCDs, "we also need a multisector approach, involving many other levels of government as well as civil society."
Assistant Secretary Koh said he had never imagined there would be a summit on NCDs at the United Nations, similar to the U.N. AIDS summit, and said there were lessons to be taken from the advocacy and collaborative efforts to fight HIV.
Dr. Beatriz Londoño, Vice-Minister of Health of Colombia, highlighted her country's pioneering Ciclovías initiatives, which "show that the best way to promote physical activity is to provide better spaces for it."
Prof. Trevor Hassell, Director of the Healthy Caribbean Coalition, said that many once-competing sectors had come together in the Caribbean to confront the growing epidemic of NCDs. Jean-Pierre Rosso, Chairman of the World Economic Forum, said the private sector "should be part of these efforts and can be part of them; there are many companies that are committed to this."
Beatriz Champagne, Executive Director of the InterAmerican Heart Foundation, noted the importance of changing not only individual behaviors but also the environment. Michael McCallister, CEO of Humana, said preventing and controlling NCDs was good for both workers and employers.
Others attending the event included Dr. Alberto Tejada, Minister of Health of Peru; and First Lady Cecilia Morel of Chile.
Report: Non-Communicable Diseases in the Americas: Building a Healthier Future
The "success stories" described in the PAHO/WHO report, Non-Communicable Diseases in the Americas: Building a Healthier Future, are examples of the kinds of programs and policies called for by this week's United Nations High-Level Meeting on Noncommunicable Diseases. The initiatives range from tax increases on tobacco sales to "Sunday bikeways" and universal health insurance schemes. Among the examples cited are public health policies implemented in New York City under the leadership of Mayor Michael Bloomberg as well as initiatives pioneered by countries and cities in Latin America and the Caribbean, including the following:
-Jamaica's National Health Fund, which uses tobacco and payroll taxes to finance health education and health infrastructure improvements and to ensure affordable access to medicines for people suffering from chronic NCDs. The fund invests in public programs on issues ranging from road safety to youth sports and dietary salt.
-In Peru, a cervical cancer screening project-the TATI project-which demonstrated that the technique of "visual inspection with acetic acid" (VIA) was as or more effective than cytology when used in rural settings. VIA has since been introduced in more than 40 low-income countries around the world, including nine countries in Latin America and the Caribbean.
-Brazil's National School Meal Program, which provides healthy school meals as the basic right of every student, while supporting local agriculture. The program uses at least 30 percent of school meal funds to purchase locally produced foods. As of 2009, the program was investing $1.7 billion to provide 47 million meals per day to students while directing hundreds of millions of dollars to family farms.
-Bans on smoking in public places in Argentina, Barbados, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela. In all, 29 countries in the Americas have pledged to progressively implement similar bans and other tobacco-control measures recommended in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).
-Efforts to reduce salt consumption at the population level in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and the United States. The efforts include voluntary commitments by industry to reformulate products (especially bread), labeling requirements to inform consumer choice, and awareness raising to increase demand for lower-sodium products.
-Caribbean Wellness Day (CWD), celebrated each year on the third Saturday of September by the countries of the Caribbean. CWD promotes physical activity in communities, workplaces, and schools, along with healthy food choices and smoke-free environments. CARICOM countries are now advocating for a "global wellness week."
-ActNowBC, a health promotion effort in the Canadian province of British Columbia that includes public health messaging and preventive healthcare interventions as well as tobacco control legislation, restrictions on trans fats in foods, and strong guidelines for healthy foods in vending machines in public buildings.
-In Mexico, hypertension programs that seek to raise public awareness and improve detection and treatment of at-risk patients. A World Bank study showed that each dollar the program invested in targeted detection and treatment saved between $84 and $323 over 20 years.
-The CARMEN network, which shares effective evidence-based practices and policies on prevention and control of NCDs among health professionals from throughout the Americas. The network has 32 member countries and numerous civil society organizations ranging from WHO collaborating centers to the Inter American Heart Federation and Ciclovias de las Americas.
-The CAMDI program in Central America, which builds integrated care for NCDs by improving the clinical skills of health providers and providing education and support at the community level for people with NCDs. The program has helped prevent premature deaths among people with NCDs in Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras.
-Chile's AUGE Plan, which guarantees access to timely care for 69 pre-defined health conditions, 75 percent of which are NCDs. The plan has improved case-fatality rates for all conditions that are covered while reducing hospitalizations and increasing overall health coverage in the population.
-Ciclovias, which were piloted in Bogota and Ottawa in the 1960s and 1970s and which have spread throughout the Americas. The initiatives close off portions of city streets to traffic, typically on Sundays and holidays, to create open spaces for bikers, walkers, and joggers. A parallel program, Recrovia, provides free dance, aerobic and yoga classes throughout the city.
-New York City's path-breaking public health policies, including a ban on smoking in all workplaces-including bars and restaurants-and most recently in city parks and beaches. New York has also eliminated trans fats in restaurant foods, implemented a campaign against sugar-sweetened beverages, required chain restaurants to display the calorie content of foods, and partnered with cooking celebrities, garden advocates and local farmer to increase the availability and consumption of fresh foods.
-The Active Cities, Healthy Cities contest, sponsored by PAHO/WHO to recognize innovative efforts to shape healthy urban environments. The contest combines public voting with expert panels of judges and has so far honored 12 projects from throughout the Americas. Co-sponsors include the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the Center for Sustainable Transport (EMBARQ) of the World Resources Institute.
"As the international community charts its path, it is important to recognize the political leadership and emerging programmatic innovations that are shaping successful responses to NCDs in the Americas," said PAHO Director Dr. Roses in the report's foreword.

Ru-live the season that started it all!
If Shannel can't love herself, how in the hell is she going to love anybody else?
Before 'Untucked' there was this!
This statuesque beauty can even shout 'Camerooooon!' with dignity.
We just hope you're wearing your waterproof mascara for this one.
In this reunion special, all nine contestants return to give their take on what happened during the show. Plus, the girls confront the judges...and each other!
The last 3 queens face their final challenge while shooting the music video for RuPaul's new single "Cover Girl (Put The Bass In Your Walk)." Out artist Cazwell stops by to help the judges cast their final vote.
Look back on the highlights, lowlights, and previously unseen footage from the first six episodes as we race toward the climactic grand finale!
RuPaul makes the queens hit the floor in a good old fashioned drag ball inspired by Absolut's real fruit flavored vodkas.
The contestants make over a group of female extreme fighters into their drag daughters. Xena herself, Lucy Lawless, makes a guest appearance to judge the girls' combat prowess.
Hoping to follow in the footsteps of MAC Cosmetics' first Viva Glam girl, RuPaul, the queens make their own Viva Glam screen test. Jenny Shimizu joins the panel to help judge the girls' drag queen status.
The queens are tested on their multi-media prowess as they show off their talents as newscaster, product spokesperson, and talk show host to RuPaul and guest judge Debra Wilson of MADtv.
Wigs fly when the contestants split up into 2 rival girl groups, something guest judge Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child would know plenty about. Can the girls impress RuPaul with their lip-synching skills?
Nine contestants must re-invent their glam drag looks using thrift store clothing and tschotchkes from the 99-cent store. Guest judge Bob Mackie stops by to help RuPaul weed out the drag queen with the least style.
Fans of RuPaul's Drag Race: rejoice! There's no need to wait until February for more Ru, because The Lost Season is here at last! Ru's very first cast of drag competitors had no idea what they were getting into, and neither did we! This season full of firsts just may be the most unpredictable one ever. The nine episodes that started a Ruvolution are stuffed to their fishy gills with legendary, herstory-making moments, on the way to one coveted title: America's next drag superstar. Meet ferocious queens like Nina Flowers, regal BeBe Zahara Benet, bubbly Ongina and many more as they turn it out on the runway and lip-sync for their lives! If you missed it the first time around, here's your chance to see where it all began as Ru declares who will "Shantay" and stay or "Sashay away" for the very first time! Seen it already? Then gag over the brand-new extras, like video commentary, intros from Ru and the gals, and exclusive online behind-the-scenes footage! Sure, season one's workroom appears to be held together with duct tape and Ru's close-ups are shot through a mummy's worth of gauze. But it's all part of the magic! Drool over the hunky Pit Crew, cackle at the cornucopia of catch phrases, and count the 'Cama-rooon's!' as RuPaul's Drag Race: The Lost Season redefines Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve, and Talent.
- Originally from glamorous Cleveland, Ohio, Akashia earned her drag stripes as one of RuPaul's Drag Race season one's "O.G." sisters, where she became known as a queen who could "break the dawn" and who never let a little tumble on the runway slow her down. Since appearing on Drag Race, Akashia has moved to West Hollywood, California and has enjoyed performing in bars and venues all over the Golden State. She's served as a host at GaymerX, San Francisco's first-ever LGBT gaming convention, and has been featured in the gorgeous coffee-table book dr.a.g., a photographic tome showcasing the beauty and talents of queens from all over the globe.
- Born in (where else?) Cameroon as Marshall Kudi, Bebe Zahara Benet is a former Paris runway model who moved to the U.S. to pursue a career in the arts. Following her triumphant time on RuPaul's Drag Race, Bebe moved from Minneapolis to New York City, and now spends time performing and traveling globally. Bebe has appeared as a drag professor on RuPaul's Drag U on Logo, and has created and starred in three original Off-Broadway productions -- Queendom, Creature and Vanity, with Creature being named 2012's "Best Off-Broadway Show in Nightlife" by Odyssey Magazine. Bebe has appeared in a recent video for Erasure's song, "A Little Respect," and she has released several hit dance singles, including her 2009 breakout debut "I'm the Sh*t." She is currently back in the studio, working on a new EP.
- Following her time on Season One of RuPaul's Drag Race, the beautiful and charismatic Jade has been performing in venues all over the U.S.. Based in Chicago, Jade has also been busy acting and appearing in numerous film and TV projects. In 2009, Jade was cast to play herself in the independent film, My Guaranteed Student Loan. From 2009-2012, she participated in the documentary film project 50 Faggots, an ongoing web series which explores and celebrates how effeminate gay men survive and thrive in American queer communities. And in 2013, Jade was featured in the second season of the Investigation Discovery series, Deadly Affairs, playing a cross-dresser entangled in a deadly love triangle.
- Originally from Bayamón, Puerto Rico and currently living in Denver, Nina Flowers is a fierce triple threat: She's a stunningly gifted drag queen, an in-demand DJ and music producer, and a successful makeup artist. Following her time on RuPaul's Drag Race season one, Nina has appeared on RuPaul's Drag U, and as a contestant on All Stars: RuPaul's Drag Race. As her musical identity, DJ Flowers, Nina holds residences in Denver, Boston, Tampa, San Francisco, and starting in 2014, Pomona, California. Nina has released several successful club anthems, including "Loca," and "I'm Feelin' Flowers," with more coming soon.
- One of the best-loved and most inspiring queens from RuPaul's Drag Race season one, Ongina travels and performs all over the U. S. She became instantly known for her jubilant personality and her devastating sense of style, featuring her shaved head and an affinity for sassy headpieces. She scored Logo's 2009 NewNowNext Award for "Most Addictive Reality Star." Since appearing on Drag Race, Ongina has gone on to appear on RuPaul's Drag U, and has traveled, spoken and performed as an advocate for HIV and AIDS prevention and awareness. Ongina also appeared in a special cameo in the finale episode of All Stars: RuPaul's Drag Race. By day, Ongina also works full time as a highly successful retail visual merchandiser, based in L.A.

- Always one to bring show-stopping visuals, glamour and confidence, Shannel has maintained her status as one of the most memorable queens to appear on RuPaul's Drag Race. Formerly based in Las Vegas, after her appearance on Drag Race, Shannel spent a year living in Seattle, and has since moved south to make Los Angeles her home. Shannel has appeared on every season of RuPaul's Drag U, and is tied (with Raven) for the record of the most wins on that show. In 2012, she also appeared in All Stars: RuPaul's Drag Race, making it all the way to the final four. She has launched her own line of makeup instruction DVDs, Face the Illusion, and can currently be seen performing at venues nationwide, all the while currently co-hosting the legendary show, Frank Marino's Divas Las Vegas at the Quad Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
- Always serving sparkle and pizzazz, since appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race season one, Tammie Brown has performed for fans all over the U.S., and lived up to her promise of "See you in the magazines!" having posed for glossy publications such as Candy and Giuseppe.

With spices and other secret ingredients, these turkey, chicken, and spruced-up beef patties take your everyday burger to new heights.
Parmesan Buffalo Burgers with Balsamic KetchupKick off your summer party grilling with Parmesan Buffalo Burgers with Balsamic Ketchup. Ground buffalo has fewer calories and half the fat of lean beef but boasts big meaty flavor. And slow-roasted tomatoes in the Balsamic Ketchup intensifies their sweetness.
Ultimate BurgersTyler Florence's burgers are extra juicy and flavorful because they're made with brisket, but chuck works too. The ultimate toppings include sauteed mushrooms, caramelized onions, tomatoes, bacon, herbed mayonnaise and chile ketchup.
Serrano Pepper BurgersFlorida Georgia Line's songwriter friend Craig Wiseman shared his recipe with the band. The secret? Grill-roasted peppers that add spicy heat and a touch of sweetness and smoke to juicy burgers. Use your favorite peppers, including milder Anaheim, Cubanelle, bell, or poblano.
Pimiento Cheese-Bacon BurgersLet ground beef stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before grilling.
Gold Nugget BurgerSandwich a slice of savory cheddar cheese between two juicy beef patties for a cheeseburger that is out of this world. Add additional flavor by topping it all off with red onion, tomato, homemade guacamole, and Sweet-and-Spicy Sauce. The Gold Nugget Burger truly is a treasure for hamburger lovers everywhere.
Caramelized Onion–and–Blue Cheese Mini BurgersSmall but loaded with flavor: Caramelized onions, blue cheese, arugula, and sirloin fill your mouth with sweetness and pungency.
Spicy Cheddar-Stuffed BurgersLike the Gold Nugget Burger, these burgers feature cheese that melts between two patties instead of on top of one. However, mixing chipotle pepper purée with the ground meat before forming the patties adds a deliciously spicy kick to the burgers themselves. Have tomatoes, red onion, lettuce, mustard, and mayonnaise on hand for guests to dress the hamburgers as they please.
Burger with Bourbon and BBQ SauceWe describe the Tennessee Burger with Bourbon and BBQ Sauce as a Southern triple threat--loaded with bacon, BBQ, and bourbon.
Italian Meatball BurgersCombine Italian sausage, ground sirloin, oregano, basil and garlic to make patties that taste like Italian meatballs. Instead of ketchup and cheddar cheese, top with tomato pasta sauce and mozzarella.
Grilled Blue Cheese BurgersBlue cheese lovers will devour these burgers, which feature crumbled blue cheese stuffed between two quarter-pound patties. Best of all, the burgers can be formed the night before and chilled in the refrigerator until ready to grill. Dress up the meal even more by pairing it with a bottle of American Zinfandel.
Korean Barbecue BurgersEnjoy traditional Korean flavors by grilling a batch of these burgers, based on a Korean barbecue specialty called bulgogi. Green onions, brown sugar, garlic, and classic Asian ingredients like fresh ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil give the burgers their tangy taste. A splash of rice vinegar and a touch of kimchi on top will add even more authentic flavors.
Fajita Turkey BurgersTurn your backyard cookout into a fiesta with these south-of-the-border-inspired turkey burgers. Fajita fixings, like onion and bell pepper sautéed with fajita seasoning, are grilled into the burgers to ramp up the turkey's lighter flavor. Top each patty with a homemade mixture of tomatillo salsa, avocado, and cilantro.
Bacon-Wrapped Barbecue BurgersA sautéed mushroom and onion mixture offers the "Wow" factor for these bacon-wrapped burgers. Part of the savory mixture is pressed into the center of each burger before grilling, and the remainder is mixed with barbecue sauce and used for the topping. The result is "over-the-top" good.
Mediterranean BurgersTo add Mediterranean flavor to your burgers, stir feta cheese, oregano, rosemary, and lemon zest into ground lamb or beef, then spread a kalamata olive paste onto the buns.
SoCal Guacamole BurgerTake a whole new approach to burgers by making patties with chorizo sausage and ground chicken. The burgers get their spicy kick from the sausage and jalapeño pepper that are processed with the chicken.
Lamb BurgersThese juicy burgers are a nice alternative to hamburgers. Roasted piquillo peppers add a sweet, clean taste to the burgers, but you can use regular roasted red peppers instead.
Shrimp Burgers With Sweet 'n' Spicy Tartar SauceRecipes for shrimp burgers, a favorite food of Southern shrimping towns, are often a big secret. Here we divulge our version, which is chunky and spicy with some Cajun flair.
BLT Chicken BurgersPoultry burgers have a reputation for being dry and bland, but jazzed up with sharp cheddar, parmesan, and garlic—and then topped with crisp bacon, juicy tomatoes, and lettuce—they're boldness in a bun.
Hoisin-Glazed Salmon Burgers with Pickled CucumberQuick-pickled cukes give these burgers tart crunch. Panko and egg white hold the patties together. Use cilantro leaves on the burgers as you would lettuce for herby freshness.
Bruschetta BurgersFlattening the patties before cooking allows for more browning in the pan and more coverage on the toasted bread slices.
Cherry and Brie Burgers with Rosemary and Grilled OnionThese are only quarter-pounders, but they look heftier because the meat is mixed with ground dried cherries (a powerful antioxidant) and a little bulgur. The seasonings and cheese take the cherries in a savory direction, keeping the burgers from being too sweet.
"New" New Mexican Green Chile CheeseburgersBlack bean patties make a savory, delicious alternative to beef. A poblano pepper can stand in for the Cubanelle in the green chile relish.
Cabernet-Balsamic Burgers with Sautéed Mushrooms & OnionsGrilled cheeseburgers get an irresistible upgrade with creamy blue cheese and caramelized onions spiked with jammy red wine and tart-sweet vinegar. A portion of the tender onions are mixed into the patties to help keep the lean beef moist.
Cilantro Burgers with Sriracha MayoChopped cilantro flavors the beef, while whole sprigs take the place of the usual lettuce. Sriracha has rightfully become an all-purpose condiment--its sweet chile heat and its vinegar punch go well beyond burgers, perking up brothy soups, meat marinades, and dipping sauces.
Asian Tuna BurgersThis burger has some of the same flavors as a popular sushi roll. Be sure to process the tuna using quick pulses to prevent the meat from being overworked and overheated by the blade.
Pistachio, Lamb, and Beef BurgersArabic spices meet the Persian touch of pistachios in the kefta (skewered ground meat) at Mamnoon in Seattle, where the food combines the owners' Syrian, Lebanese, and Persian heritage with chef Garrett Melkonian's Armenian background. We opted for an easier version: burgers.
Pacific Northwest BurgerMade with glazed grilled salmon, our Pacific Northwest Burger embodies the crunch, sweetness, pepper, and tang that's indicative of the West coast.
New England Turkey BurgerCaramelized onions that have simmered in hoppy Sam Adams beer top our New England Turkey Burger while shaved Vermont Cheddar adds tang and richness to the meat.
Lamb Burgers with Feta-Mint SpreadWe combine ground lamb with lean ground sirloin for a less fatty patty; you can also use all sirloin. Try our grilled asparagus spears in place of fries: They get deliciously charred in the pan.
Great Plains BurgerThe Great Plains Burger delivers deep corn essence in two ways—one is right in the patty with corn chips crumbled into bison meat, and the second is with a sweet, creamy fresh-corn mayo that brightens up the whole burger.
Bacon, Peach, and Basil BurgersChopped pickled jalapeños and their juice ramp up the flavor of ground sirloin, while bacon, goat cheese, and tangy-sweet chutney balance the heat.
Umami-Bomb BurgersThe secret ingredient to this flavorful burger recipe is fish sauce. Add the sauce to the ground beef before pressing into patties.
Piggy BurgersPiggy Burgers get their rich flavor from ground pork, crumbled bacon, and molasses-bacon seasoning blend. Top with barbecue sauce and Onion-Spiked Pickles.
Red Beans-and-Rice Veggie BurgersStirring the rice as it cooks releases the starch that helps hold the veggie patties together. Want to go beyond vegetarian? Top these burgers with grilled shrimp or sausage.
Sloppy Joe Carolina-Style BurgersEat these over-the-top burgers with a knife and fork, or set out a pile of napkins. Add fresh crisp texture and flavor by mounding slaw atop the burgers. Serve extra slaw on the side, or save it for another day.
Tex-Mex Turkey BurgersGrab a bag of tortilla chips and a jar of salsa to serve alongside the burgers, and whip up a batch of margaritas for a festive cocktail.

In 1934, Mr. Riley went into partnership with his leading salesman, Arthur Hall, who later sold on the business in 1954 to his daughter and son-in-law, Eleanor and Paul Kidd. Arch supports and prescription footwear remained the cornerstone of their business until 1961 when they manufactured The Trackster, the world's first performance running shoe made with a ripple sole and available in multiple widths. The Trackster soon became the shoe of choice for college running coaches and YMCA fitness directors.
When Jim Davis bought the company from the Kidds on the day of the Boston Marathon in 1972, he committed himself to uphold the company's founding values of fit, performance, and manufacturing.
When Anne Davis began her journey with New Balance in 1978, her focus became building a superior culture for NB associates and those who do business with the company around the globe.

Henry V (Modern, Folio)
Enter [the Archbishop of] Canterbury and [the Bishop of] Ely.
40Which in th'eleventh year of the last king's reign
41Was like, and had indeed against us passed,
42But that the scambling and unquiet time
43Did push it out of further question.
44Ely But how, my lord, shall we resist it now?
45Canterbury It must be thought on. If it pass against us,
46We lose the better half of our possession,
47For all the temporal lands which men devout
48By testament have given to the Church
49Would they strip from us, being valued thus:
50As much as would maintain, to the king's honor,
51Full fifteen earls and fifteen hundred knights,
52Six thousand and two hundred good esquires,
53And to relief of lazars and weak age
54Of indigent faint souls past corporal toil,
55A hundred almshouses, right well supplied;
56And to the coffers of the king beside,
57A thousand pounds by th'year. Thus runs the bill.
|This would drink deep.
|'Twould drink the cup and all.
60Ely But what prevention?
63Ely And a true lover of the holy Church.
64Canterbury The courses of his youth promised it not.
65The breath no sooner left his father's body,
66But that his wildness, mortified in him,
67Seemed to die too. Yea, at that very moment,
68Consideration like an angel came,
69And whipped th'offending Adam out of him,
70Leaving his body as a paradise,
71T'envelop and contain celestial spirits.
72Never was such a sudden scholar made,
73Never came reformation in a flood
74With such a heady currence scouring faults,
75Nor never hydra-headed willfulness
76So soon did lose his seat, and all at once,
|77As in this king.
|We are blessèd in the change.
79Canterbury Hear him but reason in divinity,
80And, all-admiring, with an inward wish
81You would desire the king were made a prelate.
82Hear him debate of commonwealth affairs,
83You would say it hath been all in all his study.
84List his discourse of war, and you shall hear
85A fearful battle rendered you in music.
86Turn him to any cause of policy,
87The Gordian knot of it he will unloose,
88Familiar as his garter; that when he speaks,
89The air, a chartered libertine, is still,
90And the mute wonder lurketh in men's ears
91To steal his sweet and honeyed sentences,
92So that the art and practic part of life
93Must be the mistress to this theoric.
94Which is a wonder how his grace should glean it,
95Since his addiction was to courses vain,
96His companies unlettered, rude, and shallow,
97His hours filled up with riots, banquets, sports,
98And never noted in him any study,
99Any retirement, any sequestration
100From open haunts and popularity.
101Ely The strawberry grows underneath the nettle,
102And wholesome berries thrive and ripen best
103Neighbored by fruit of baser quality;
104And so the prince obscured his contemplation
105Under the veil of wildness, which no doubt
106Grew like the summer grass, fastest by night,
107Unseen, yet crescive in his faculty.
108Canterbury It must be so, for miracles are ceased,
109And therefore we must needs admit the means
|110How things are perfected.
|But my good lord,
112How now for mitigation of this bill
113Urged by the commons? Doth his majesty
|114Incline to it or no?
|He seems indifferent,
116Or rather swaying more upon our part,
117Than cherishing th'exhibitors against us;
118For I have made an offer to his majesty,
119Upon our spiritual convocation,
120And in regard of causes now in hand,
121Which I have opened to his grace at large,
122As touching France, to give a greater sum
123Than ever at one time the clergy yet
124Did to his predecessors part withal.
125Ely How did this offer seem received, my lord?
126Canterbury With good acceptance of his majesty,
127Save that there was not time enough to hear,
128As I perceived his grace would fain have done,
129The severals and unhidden passages
130Of his true titles to some certain dukedoms,
131And generally to the crown and seat of France
132Derived from Edward, his great-grandfather.
133Ely What was th'impediment that broke this off?
134Canterbury The French ambassador upon that instant
135Craved audience; and the hour, I think, is come
136To give him hearing. Is it four o'clock?
137Ely It is.
138Canterbury Then go we in to know his embassy,
139Which I could with a ready guess declare
140Before the Frenchman speak a word of it.
141Ely I'll wait upon you, and I long to hear it.

Chemical Chaos
With the heat of summer comes a most remarkable bounty from Mother Nature: Fresh-from-the-farm potatoes to toss on the grill, juicy peaches bursting with flavor, and crunchy bell peppers to liven up salads.
But there's a dark side to fresh local produce. Many of your favorite picks from the produce section or farmer's market are tainted with chemicals that aren't just toxic to garden pests and bees, but possibly to you, too. In fact, many weed- and bug-killing chemicals have been linked to serious diseases like childhood cancer, lupus, obesity, ADHD, and autism, among many others.
We can't veggie-wash our way out of this problem, either. Most United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) experiments looking at pesticide contamination in produce involve testing produce that's already been washed or peeled.
Looking at more than 28,000 samples taken by the USDA and the Food and Drug Administration, the nonprofit Environmental Working Group (EWG) created a list of the most contaminated produce to highlight the overall pesticide loads of common fruits and veggies. See why sourcing organic produce is so important…
1. Apples
Around 99 percent of apple samples tested positive for at least one pesticide residue, according to the 2013 EWG report. In fact, previous testing from the USDA Pesticide Data Program turned up seven known or possible carcinogens and 19 suspected hormone-disrupting chemicals in apple samples.
2. Strawberries
EWG rated strawberries as the second most contaminated fruit, basing its conclusion on government data. Still, if it's a choice between eating a conventional strawberry or processed, sugar- or fat-laden convenience foods, choose the berry—the antioxidants in even nonorganic versions outweigh the risks, EWG notes. To cut your chemical load, choose organic whenever possible.

3. Grapes
Grapes are notorious for pesticide contamination. In fact, the EWG report found a single grape tested positive for 15 different pesticides.

4. Celery
Past USDA Pesticide Data Program evaluations turned up 64 pesticide residues on this crunchy snack and soup stock staple. In the EWG report, a single celery sample tested positive for 13 different pesticides.

5. Peaches
Pit fruits are notoriously hard to grow organically because the high sugar content attracts not just people, but also bug pests. Past USDA tests found 62 different pesticide residues on samples.
Seasonal Goodness: Peach and Raspberry Crostata
6. Spinach
Even these statistics would make Popeye cringe: Past USDA testing has found residues of eight known or probable carcinogens and eight neurotoxins; 23 were considered toxic to honeybees, too.

7. Sweet Bell Peppers
A single bell pepper tested positive for 13 different pesticide residues, according to the recent EWG report. Previous testing shows imidacloprid, a chemical bug killer in the neonicitinoid family, turned up on nearly 80 percent of sweet bell peppers tested. Emerging studies link neonicitinoids insecticides to massive honeybee die-offs.
Grow Your Own: Bell Peppers
8. Nectarines
Every single sample of imported nectarines tested positive for pesticides. If you're aiming to avoid chemicals in fruit, don't totally rely on U.S.-grown nectarines, either. Domestic nonorganic versions were commonly contaminated, too.

9. Cucumbers
Traditionally, toxic endosulfan, a chemical in the DDT family, has been a go-to pesticide for many commercial cucumber growers. Luckily, the government is phasing out its use for all crops because it's a potent neurotoxin. Still, cucumbers today have a heavy pesticide load, according to EWG. Choose organic when you can.

10. Potatoes
Potatoes are hammered with chemicals. The average potato has a much higher total weight of pesticides than any other food crop. Nonorganic versions of the starchy staple are generally sprayed multiple times a year in the field then their vines are sprayed with an herbicide just prior to harvesting to make the process easier.

Thanks mate,i have'nt detatched them for quite a while but i have scarified them in the middle of march so i was expecting a good result,that moss like thing is all over the place but some are not thick yet,i was really clueless if it's due to over watering or lack of water...de-thatched

Yes mate,it is under a pine tree and two small trees,i don't know if it's a thatch but some parts of the lawn which is not under those trees are also having the same problem but not as worst as those who are under the tree,i tried to rake it hard but the grass is also peeling when i force it,any suggestion?thank you...Is this under any kind of tree?

Unfortunately there's not much you can do.
When the pine needles drop , they have a high acidic base. So the dirt is damaged for grass. As well, the shallow feeder roots from the tree will suck up all the water, stealing it from the grass.
You can replace the dirt and re-seed / re- sod. However by this time next year it will look like it does now.
The best thing to do is to convert this to a mulch bed with native plants and the tree's
Will think about that,thanks

Quotedmaybe try some lime to lower acid level,cut a few low branches,and constantly clean up the needles,and then miloganite, if they have it around you,im sure they do,miloganite is dirt cheap but incredible,i hand dug in a couple zones at my house, i put a bunch of miloganite on it,more than i had anywhere else before, and in like 9 days,the
6'' wide by 100' area,was 10 inches high perfectly green and it looked crazy, the whole lawn was brownigh and then there was this 100' of this zone pattern basically of tall green grass, pines are horrible for grass, but there is a slight chance it may help a few blades of grass and blend a little better.
all that and the grass may still not even grow, you could try some shade tolerant grass seed is lime and milganite do not work,or turn it into a mulch bed haha.
Will try to find miloganite in my place,maybe they have it here but in different name,you know french haha,from what i know,it is more like an organic fertilizer right?will give it a try if i find one,btw i tried to kill that moss like thing with moss killer but it did'nt do anything so i suppose it is'nt a moss,will try to rake it gently again and see if i can get rid them out,even if i put fertilizer on it,those mose will just suck them so i was wondering if digging some small holes will get it done?

A firefighter struggles to move a hay pile to put out a fire that started inside a kiln at a residence on Dead Horse Lane in Berwick, Maine.
BERWICK, Maine — A brush fire that started from a kiln in the backyard of a Dead Horse Lane residence was extinguished Thursday afternoon. A homemade wood-drying kiln, at the center of the fire, was engulfed in clouds of smoke. The residence was 20 feet away and could easily have caught fire from the blaze, according to Berwick Fire Lt. Sam Tibbetts. "We got here just in time. It's now a matter of picking things apart. Everything that was mounded over the kiln and it needed to be pull apart cautiously," said Joe Rousselle, South Berwick deputy fire chief. Tibbetts said fire crews were taking care to fully extinguish the brush fire so it would not rekindle."We will be removing the debris and wetting the area, taking care of the hot spots so nothing smolders all night and comes back to bite us," he said.By late afternoon the fire was extinguished and the scene was turned back over to the property owner.The home was not affected and the cause of the fire is undetermined.

Remote Operations
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is a powerful particle physics tool involving researchers from all over the globe. Many physicists spend weeks or months at CERN, but for others, such as those stationed in the United States, finding a way to communicate with members of their experimental collaboration is paramount.
Fortunately for physicists stationed at Fermilab, a US particle physics lab located near Chicago, Illinois, the LHC@FNAL Remote Operations Center allows them to work on their experiments and interact with their CERN colleagues while living half-way around the world.
Located on the ground floor of Fermilab's Wilson Hall high rise building, scientists can use state-of-the-art telecommunications technology to video-conference with their fellow collaboration members in high definition and view data from the LHC in real time. LHC@FNAL users effectively have "read-only" access for safety and security reasons, but this restriction matters little when scientists can complete remote monitoring shifts of their experiments using the Center. The CMS experiment group at Fermilab makes use of this last feature.
The Center also allows physicists and engineers to gain experience with the LHC's cutting-edge accelerator technology by completing virtual training programs, and experts are able to provide live tech support to CERN scientists with the operation of the US-built parts of the LHC.

French Empire Single Vanity Sink Base
Bun feet and intricate carvings of Second Empire furnishings are characteristic of the style that developed during the reign of Emperor Napoleon III. Our bath collection is an homage to this period – a mid-19th-century stylistic alignment with France's glorious past. Carefully hand-finished using an intensive 7-step finishing process, which results in a weathered, distressed patina.

Created in 1978, The National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) is a national leader in sponsoring research. NIDRR is located in Washington, D.C., and is one of three components of the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) at the U.S. Department of Education. NIDRR operates in concert with the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) and the Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP).
The mission of NIDRR is to generate new knowledge and promote its effective use to improve the abilities of people with disabilities to perform activities of their choice in the community, and also to expand society's capacity to provide full opportunities and accommodations for its citizens with disabilities. Toward this end, NIDRR conducts comprehensive and coordinated programs of research and related activities to maximize the full inclusion, social integration, employment and independent living of individuals of all ages with disabilities. NIDRR's focus includes research in areas such as employment, health and function, technology for access and function, independent living and community integration, and other associated disability research areas.
Balanced between the scientific and consumer communities, NIDRR plays a unique role in federally-funded research activities. As part of the scientific community, NIDRR makes an important contribution to the overall knowledge in rehabilitation medicine, engineering, psychosocial rehabilitation, integration, vocational outcomes and the virtual and built environments. In addition, NIDRR's work helps to integrate disability research into our nation's policies regarding science and technology, health care, and economics.
NIDRR has unique institutional relationships with the other federal agencies that conduct disability research through the Interagency Committee on Disability Research (ICDR), which the director of NIDRR chairs. In addition, NIDRR co-sponsors research programs with other federal government agencies and with foreign governments and international agencies.
