Janet Durrans for The New York Times
Charles de Gaulle once commented on the impossibility of governing a country that had 246 cheeses. He probably underestimated the number of French cheeses by at least 100.
The world's cheese inventory keeps growing, as new cheesemakers, especially in the United States (where no goat cheeses were made before 1981 and where now there are more than 200), keep dreaming up new ones.
The basic process is pretty easy. It probably started by accident thousands of years ago, when milk that had spoiled under the right conditions did not taste terrible.
From tiny buttons of goat cheese to massive, 220-pound wheels of Emmenthaler, from delicate fresh ricotta to rugged aged Gouda, cheese is basically a highly concentrated form of milk.
To make an ounce of cheese requires about eight ounces of milk. The milk of just about any mammal will do, though cows, ewes and goats are the usual sources. Cheese from water buffalo milk is prized, especially in southern Italy. There is yak cheese on the market, and camel cheese is probably made somewhere.
Whether the milk is pasteurized depends on the cheese. Industrial, processed cheeses are always made from pasteurized milk. Pasteurization is not required by the United States government for cheeses aged more than 60 days. The issue of pasteurization, which can interfere with the traditional maturing process, is one of ongoing controversy.
Like bread and wine, cheese is the result of fermentation. The kind of milk, how it is treated, the size and shape of the cheese, whether it is allowed to age, even where it ages — these things all affect color, texture, aroma and flavor.
A bacterial culture is mixed with the milk (for better control, instead of letting it spoil naturally), transforming the lactose, or milk sugar, into lactic acid. Then rennet, an enzyme, is added, causing the proteins in the milk to coagulate, clump and separate into curds and whey. Rennet can be extracted from the stomach lining of a cow, sheep or goat, and these days more cheesemakers are using plant-based vegetable rennet, often from thistles.
The cheese that results depends on how the curds are treated. (Most cheeses are made from the curds, but a few, like ricotta, are made from the whey, which is also rich in protein.) Salt is added to almost all cheeses. The combination of salt and fat is what helps make cheese delicious. And whether the milk is skimmed, partly skimmed or whole may have no effect on the amount of fat in the finished cheese.
Fresh cheeses are simply salted and perhaps molded. Cheeses shaped into discs, squares, logs and so forth can be treated with bacteria on the outside, causing a thin, bloomy white rind to form, as with Camembert. Cheeses may be washed with brine or spirits as they mature, like Italian taleggio, and achieve a characteristically strong taste and a satiny texture. Well-aged cheeses can be allowed to develop natural rinds. Cheeses may be pressed, like cheddar, to remove all the whey, and become dense.
Blue-veined cheeses, like Roquefort, get that way from the addition of mold cultures. Cheeses may also be covered in ash, leaves, herbs or bark, or wrapped in cloth or sealed in wax. But no matter the cheese, it will taste best not served ice cold. — Florence Fabricant, April 15, 2008

STAFFING AND WORKPLACE BLOG -- SCOTT SUTTELL Manufacturing skills gap not severe -- yetBy SCOTT SUTTELL 6:00 am, November 14, 2012
The country's so-called skills gap in advanced manufacturing "is more limited than many people think and shouldn't prevent, or even stall, the U.S. manufacturing renaissance, at least for a while."
A Bloomberg News investigation finds that more than 100 U.S. airport towers and radar rooms, including three in Ohio, are overstaffed and "have so few flights that they should be shut down late at night under the government's own guidelines, a move that would save taxpayers $10 million a year."
Poor performers at work are a major time-suck for supervisors, according to this story from Staffing Industry Analysts, a sister publication of Crain's Cleveland Business.
If you're following some of the more salacious elements of the David Petraeus scandal, one question you might have is whether people who have affairs actually have sex in their offices. You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio.

Only Natural Pet Blood & System is an excellent blood cleansing formula. Its alternative action rids the lymphatic system, blood vessels and muscles of toxic materials while toning the muscles. This is an effective system or liver cleanser, and can be used as an adjunct to conventional treatments in debilitated animals, and for supporting the immune system.
Herbs and Properties for Which They Were Selected
About Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies
Our Only Natural Pet Herbal Remedies have evolved from the work of holistic veterinarians and experienced herbalists to bring you a wide selection of natural health care products for your animal companion. Herbal formulas are easy to administer and easy for your pet to assimilate, making these treatments both simple and effective. Herbs are also great natural sources of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, enzymes, and many other nourishing substances.
Only the finest herbs are used in our formulas, and the careful selection and blending of these herbs helps them interact synergistically for stronger, more beneficial effects. Nothing is more natural than harnessing the healing powers of the herbs and flowers around us. When ill or injured, animals in the wild have an uncanny ability to seek out and eat plants with properties that will help them heal.
Natural therapies like our herbal formulas do not just attack the symptoms of a disorder. Instead they rebuild your companion's total health and facilitate their body's innate ability to heal itself. When natural remedies are used in conjunction with a nutritious diet, your pet can enjoy a healthier life.
The effectiveness of Blood & System Herbal Formula, as with ANY herbal or natural remedy, varies with the health of the animal. An animal being fed a high quality diet with adequate vitamins and enzymes will respond better than an animal on a poor quality diet. Each animal's system needs support in healing from within. Please see our article, "What You Need to Know About Your Pet's Food," for information about feeding the best quality diet.
This product was made in a FDA-approved facility using human-grade ingredients.
Available in 2 oz and 4 oz liquid. Each 2 oz bottle contains approximately 1,050 drops, and each 4 oz bottle contains approximately 2,100 drops of the formula.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Blood & System Herbal Formula:
My 8 year old fox terrier contracted cutaneous vasculitis a year ago, but she didn't show any signs for several months, so starting in March she became deathly ill and we almost lost her....twice. Between the vet giving her prescriptions and me supplementing her with this and several other supplements, I'm happy to say she is much better, and though she'll never fully recover, and will always have a chance of relapse, to look at her you wouldn't know she was sick! She's doing wonderful! And I KNOW that this supplement is one of the reasons! Thanks for a great product ONP! :)

When my dogs had an unknown virus.......
By Linzey
from Lakewood<NY
Recently my 6 dogs came down with a virus that made them all sick with vomiting,loose stool,and some diahrrea. My vet did not know what it was,so I opted for natural treatment as I usually do. I decided to try the Blood & System formula,along with the GI formula. Any disease is hard on the liver and this was hard on the digestive track,so thats why I chose these products. The products did bring relief to my dogs and I feel was a major part of their recovery.

So far, I like it. Good product
By Sharon
from Campbell, CA
I'm using this product for my male cat Cisco who is 14 years old and recently diagnosed (about 2 months ago-May 2009) w/Lymphoma. It is helping w/keeping his daily life happy. The vet says the tumour is still there (not any smaller, but not any bigger either). I also use Only Natural's BSST for cat cancer. I give 5 days of BSST, skip the week-end. The next week it's 5 days of Blood and System and then skip the week-end. You get the idea. My cat is not in pain and it appears this is helping. It may just be a little too early to see the full impact as yet. But I'm happy to at least be doing something holistic as traditional med's were just not working for him. I also give my other two cats (one very healthy male named Champ and one fairly healthy female named Chloe; who was recently diagnosed w/IBD) the same combo, but only on occasion. They tolerate all this quite well.

Clean Blood = Healthy Kitty
By Chahlies~mama
from Orange County, CA
This is one of MANY "tonics"/supplements given to my FeLV+ son. He was given a death sentence 3 years ago...just celebrated his anniversary of a second chance at life on 9/1. I actually give it to my other kitty too who is not "+" but it's important to keep her healthy & her immune system VERY strong while living with her FeLV+ brother. I put it in their food, most of the time I have no problems with them eating it but sometimes they sniff it then give me a dirty look... :) So, I have to get creative with their canned food - make sure it's a good one - preferably with gravy.

to get lizzied is to be disgraced in a sexual manner. You have no morals, and by that dissapoint all those around you. When being lizzied you don't uphold your family name, and are just terrible. Many men have said, "to be lizzied, is to be fucked really hard"
As I was walking through the alley, out of the corner of my eye I saw one girl getting lizzied by this homeless man.

The texture is inordinately smooth and the color payoff (how much color you get with a single swipe of the brush) is great.
The Nude Mattes Eyeshadow Palette
Finding a complementary range of true matte eyeshadows isn't an easy task, but this palette nails it!
Add to Faves?
Eyeshadows are essential to a full makeup application. Most women state that their eyes are their best feature, and playing up your best feature makes perfect sense! In order to earn a spot on the Best Products list, an eyeshadow must:
In much the same way loose and pressed powders continue to improve for the better, so do eyeshadows. Those we rate as the best have enviable, silky textures, apply seamlessly, blend and build well, and have staying power.
You can shop the cosmetics counters in both the drugstores and the department stores and find wonderful textures and colors, although when it comes to variety of matte shades, the scales remain tipped in favor of the department stores (primarily in the makeup artist–driven lines such as M.A.C., Stila, and Bobbi Brown).
Those of you who love eyeshadow with some shine will find the options almost limitless, regardless of where you shop. The good news is that today's best shiny eyeshadows add more glow than glitter to your eyes, and the shine clings much better than in the past (though there are still plenty of shiny eyeshadows that flake, none of which are on this list).
Eyeshadows on this list include singles, duos, trios, and quads. Please keep in mind that purchasing multiple eyeshadows as part of a set only makes sense if you'll really use the color combinations provided (and in many cases, you won't want to, at least not if you want to create a classic, understated eye design).
Note: Without question, brushes are a must for smooth, flawless application of eyeshadows. Do NOT use the tiny, sponge-tip applicators included with many shadows. They tend to make the results choppy and are not adept at blending multiple shades for a subtle gradation of color.

The quest for Linux-compatible hardware is actually quite simple:
* Get any sound card except X-Fi.
* Get an NVidia graphics card.
That's all there is to it
Phoronix: The Quest Of Finding Linux Compatible Hardware
While Intel is often looked at as being the most Linux and open-source friendly company among the major IHVs, as shown today in Intel's Linux Sandy Bridge Graphics Still Troubling, even in 2011 there are still serious Linux hardware issues to overcome. The Linux hardware support has a much better foundation than where it was at in 2004 when I founded Phoronix, and for hardware that's been in the marketplace for a few months old these problems quickly go away, but for new adopters it's the biggest challenge...
The quest for Linux-compatible hardware is actually quite simple:
* Get any sound card except X-Fi.
* Get an NVidia graphics card.
That's all there is to it
Well, sometimes you have to be careful about what network adapter or printer/scanner you get, but I guess that's not the kind of hardware Michael was referring to.
Last edited by Nobu; 01-18-2011 at 02:38 PM. Reason: Added "kind of"
Thats a great use of the data generated from the PTS. Could help a lot of people determining what wifi chips are actually best supported. But how do you benchmark something like soundcards? People want to know if spdif out is working with some random application for example.
I haven't looked much into sound card support yet, but one rough estimate for that could be to look at the percent of people using a given sound card relative to other audio adapters, at least as a cursory way to see if something looks to be possibly supported well or not. And then use the commenting system to ask the active owners.
Michael Larabel
Hey seen that article I had the following idea:
You can display the performance of different combinations of hardware using PTS. You should also benchmark hardware comparing Windows and Linux performance.
With this, users may have an idea of what hardware they will be buying.
Meanwhile you could threat bad hardware vendors like SiS and Via, sending them the following message: "Hey VIA/SiS look at these benchmarks, see how NVIDIA, Intel and AMD give good results in our tests. Have you realized that your hardware aren' t there? Can you guess why?"
This should make them fell very envy about not seeing their hardware in the recommended list.
You could also create a list of the hardware that should be avoided.
Printers, scanners and every other hardware should be also available.
<---- EXACTLY. Be careful people, on most optimus laptops having the nvidia chip is basically the same as having a rock weighting the same.
Michael: In price comparisons, please also consider non-US users. Most benchmark sites *cough*anandtech*cough*tom's hardware*cough* tend to forget we exist. We don't use dollars, don't have access to newegg, and don't have rebates. So a very valid price comparison or guide in the US is normally not applicable in Europe or other places in the world.

Its all fun & games until somebody gets bitten, huh!?
@penglord: Hey, I resemble that remark...
That was my question. I'd really like to be able to hang my 9mm within that box for (mod edit: profanity) and giggles.
I wonder if my 9mm would fit in it. better yet... in case of assholes break glass.
zombies are not afraid of replica pistols
Is this the discount box?
Where's the katana?
Oh well, I'm more of a minigun guy anyway.
check out the write up on the bait station! Classic.
A true zombie survival kit includes a fat guy to use as bait so you can make your escape.
Too bad it's not a Winchester in there.
But a blade implies you're in melee range. And that means you could be bitten. And that's not good. I'd stick with a gun until I ran out of ammo, THEN switch to the blade.
They really need to read World War Z. Everyone knows a blade is better than a gun.
The stickers on the site are a little pricey for something you can probably get at a mall kiosk for $2-$3.
On this site, if it has anything to do with bacon or zombies, it is almost certainly not a deal.
@captain_steve: which is the bigger trending topic: #Braaaaaaaaaains or #Headshot?
I eagerly await the Zombie apocalypse. I can't wait to Tweet all about it.
^^^^It's "that guy"^^^^^ haha
Kinda expensive for a gag.
I really wish these stickers were cheaper I would definitely buy like 5.
I think I will get the Health Pack for my son. He watched Zombieland and knows the value of those little golden cakes.

Treating Infertility with the Integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Assisted Conception Therapy
by Li Qin Zhao
Infertility is a common gynaecological condition in modern society. Cases of infertility have progressively increased, especially in recent years. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has been used to treat infertility for thousands of years, although nowadays assisted conception therapy (ACT) is also available. The author has demonstrated that TCM is not only the most effective treatment for infertility, but can also improve the success rate of ACT significantly. In this article, illustrated by case studies, the author will discuss the aetiology and pathology from both a TCM perspective and Western medical understanding, introduce her positive unique treatment strategies, which include the use of TCM diagnostic differentiation, TCM cycle therapy, and integrated with the most advanced ACT technology such as IUI, IVF and ICSI.

LisaFloridaLotions Good, Wax Not GoodThe lotions that come with the kit are really nice - make skin feel smooth. The wax takes a long time to melt in the microwave. Results of removing hair? Not good. Picked up a few, broke many, and left behind a bunch.posted Nov 16, 2004Link to this post
LaviniaWaxI had troubles with the wax. The biggest think I hate is that I have reheat the wax many times before I am done waxing. i also have irritations on my skin, but it might be just me. I heard aother people enjoyed it a lot. I will try one more time to see how it works.posted Nov 15, 2004Link to this post
AnnFloridaGreat StuffNo more paying for pro waxing..this really works...I just need to try a couple more times to master the application and the pulling...has anyone over irritated after waxing?posted Nov 15, 2004Link to this post
ElisaSioux Falls, SDGreat At Home ProductI have gotten my waxing done in a salon up until now. I couldnt afford the high price at the salon anymore and was looking for a good alternative. When I came upon this inexpensive at home wax kit I gave it a try. It works wonderful. I have gotten some at home products in the past that did not live up to my expectations, but this product made me a believer again. I got the same results with this product that I got from the salon. I think it helped that I had been to the salon before I tried this at home. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a good at home product. I would like to say thank you to Gigi for making this great affordable wax kit.posted Nov 14, 2004Link to this post
KatherineSouth JerseyUnless You Can Handle The Pain!This was the first time I tried waxing my bikini area by myself. It was extremely painful. The product was okay. The wax seemed to harden fast. I wouldnt recommend this if you cant handle causing the pain to yourself...just get it done professionally.posted Nov 12, 2004Link to this post
RebeccaNew YorkThis Product Isn't That Great.Firstly my bottles also came half full. I am not sure if this is how the company sends all the bottles out...I found this to be very disapointing. Secondly....this wax is messy and not the easiest to spread on. The wax is very painful and leaves hairs behind. I like to wax and get it all at once...this product failed at that. This product is now just sitting on my dresser...maybe Ill use it on my eyebrows. It is too difficlut to use on the bikini because it leaves too many hairs behind.posted Nov 3, 2004Link to this post
Kimberly KaminskiSave Your MoneyDespite getting the kit with a couple of 1/2 empty bottles (because of spillage during shipment), I tried this product with very little success. Following the directions carefully, I applied the wax as directed to a fairly small area. After letting the wax harden and set as required, I swiftly pulled the wax off to successfully remove only about 4 hairs out of approx. 25! I tried it again, but came up with the same results. I would have tried to email the company with this problem, but they never tried to resolve the initial problem regarding the spillage during shipment that I emailed them about immediately after receiving the package. I guess their philosophy is "ignore them and maybe theyll go away"!!!posted Oct 26, 2004Link to this post
AngelaUtahNot For Beginners.My first trip to bikini waxing, after only having been waxed one previous time at a salon, was both messy and painful. If youre an expert waxer, you could probably avoid most of the debacle I created, but I found myself with wax everywhere except where it should be, and the wax would come off only in little chunks instead of one strip like it was supposed to. That equals a whole lot of pain, yanking and getting one tiny piece of wax in your hand, only to yank again.. and repeat. Ended up swollen and hurting. Again, largely due to my inexperience. But please.. unless youre great at this.. just have a pro do it!posted Oct 18, 2004Link to this post

Hey Michael,
It would have been nice to see how power consumption would have scaled with performance
Phoronix: AMD Radeon HD 7950 On Linux Redux
Here are some updated benchmarks of the AMD Radeon HD 7950 "Southern Islands" graphics card under Linux with the proprietary Catalyst driver.
Hey Michael,
It would have been nice to see how power consumption would have scaled with performance
I'll run this PTS test tonight on my HD7970...
Do you know if AMD would have a shitfit if I just happened to run these tests with... umm....
With a fglrx driver I have brought back with me on a flash drive, in my time machine (TARDIS-esque) from about May 2012.
Edit: Also, do you think it will throw off the results terribly much that the rest of my system is somewhat older than the 7970?
Core i7 920 (first gen Nehalem)
16 GB DDR3 1066 in dual channel config (because I'm stupid and bought the wrong thing lol)
ASUS P6T Deluxe v2 motherboard (X58 chipset -- also first gen Nehalem)
SATA 3gb/s HDDs (2TB)
(Psst: due to my motherboard, the 7970 is stuck in PCI-E 2.0 configuration, so it might be bandwidth-limited somewhat, though I read on anandtech or somewhere like that, that the GPU isn't even maxing out PCI-E 2.0 bandwidth for games, only for compute)
Last edited by allquixotic; 03-30-2012 at 10:11 AM.
I ran Unigine Heaven 3.0 benchmark (too many of the others were not running at all / running incorrectly) using... er... "interesting" drivers on KDE 4.8 with KWin acceleration enabled. On Fedora 16 with hand-built 3.3 stable kernel
Untar and open index.htm in a browser.
For the lazy: my HD7970 turns out to get an average of less than 1 FPS per second higher than Michael's HD7950 overclocked to 900/13975 MHz (which is the same clock frequencies used by the HD7970 ... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM)
So basically if you're going to buy a HD7900 series, get the HD7950 and save a few bucks. The 7970 doesn't appear worth it because you can just OC the 7950 the 7970's clock level and will get basically the same performance.
For those who think you can apply this logic down the line to lower-end cards: no. The physical hardware available on the cheaper cards (7800 series, 7700 series, etc) is / is going to be heavily cut-down. My observations are that if two cards have the same first two numbers (79xx, 78xx, etc) they are probably going to be identical if you overclock the cheaper one to equal the more expensive one's clock rate. I didn't know / believe this until now but it seems like I get zero advantage from the 7970 over the 7950 with a software tweak.
Then again, my CPU and memory bandwidth is vastly inferior to that on Michael's test system (as you can see from my test results), so that may have something to do with it. Or the differences between fglrx performance on KWin vs unity, or the differences between the fglrx versions we're running (I'm using... an interesting version )
The only interesting thing would be the link to 8.97.1. Why dont you use the control file from 8.95.1?
Btw. you have got your scripts dir twice in your PATH.
I just do not get why you did not buy a gtx 680 for the same price?
Last edited by Kano; 03-30-2012 at 09:43 PM.
how does the fan sound on that card ?
I'm going to be getting a 7850 possibly today and am afraid to get anything with custom cooling or clocks.
My thinking is staying close to the reference design will ensure that things like fan/voltage/clock adjustments work in linux.

My bicycle is our second car. I love to bicycle in all weather, for all distances, and on all routes. Bicycling has brought so much joy to my life, and I want to share it with anyone who is interested.

There's a reason Jamie Foxx has an Oscar on his mantel. Not only can he act, the Ray star can sing, rap, and he's even pretty good at cross-dressing. Who knew?! For his second time hosting Saturday Night Live, Foxx showed off all these skills and more, and got some help from a few surprise celebrity cameos.
A buddy cop movie starring only one actor? That's the selling point for Tyler Perry's newest film, Alex Cross 2 - Madea: Special Ops, in which Foxx played Perry playing half crime novel detective Alex and half larger-than-life character Madea:
Weeks after the sudden bankruptcy and closure of Hostess, Foxx dressed as dearly departed snack cake Ding Dong to lament the amount of attention given to his "snack brother from another batter": Twinkie. "Y'all act like Twinkie is the only one with a delicious, creamy filling," he said before accusing America of "snack profiling." At least he now has time to return to the rap game:
Remember when Justin Timberlake had curls? Check out the most dramatic celebrity makeovers
Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney - can you tell them apart? Good, because neither can these three contestants playing the never-before-won game show Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney. In the sketch, three contestants can't tell photos of the two actors apart, even when Mulroney actually stops by the show himself. Too bad he doesn't even know who he is:
Fox also starred in the new TV show, Maine Justice, as the Jheri curl-sporting bailiff to Jason Sudeikis' Southern-sounding judge, who seems to think he's from Louisiana rather than Maine. The case of the day featured special testimony by Congressman Fintin Worthington Carey, aka Foxx's Horrible Bosses co-star Charlie Day:
What did you think of Foxx's second at-bat? Let us know in the comments below.

By the Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics International, Dr. Timothy Shriver and the President of the Organizing Committee for the Special Olympics World Summer Games Athens 2011, Mrs Joanna Despotopoulou
Violent protests, tear gas, and broken glass in Syntagma square top the international headlines but the people of Greece led another demonstration this week. More than 25,000 Greeks have come together every day to join the Dignity Revolution, cheering for unity, working for unity, standing for unity. Sadly, the press has missed the story.
The future, however, will not.
The leaders of this revolution have no political affiliation. Leaders like Andres Delgado opened the Special Olympic World Summer Games in Panathiako stadium. He was there to claim his dignity despite the corrosive injustice he and 200 million people with intellectual disabilities confront everyday. He marched, his head held high, proud, triumphant. He marched with a message.
Days later, he proved his point: he won three gold medals, a silver medal, and a bronze medal in gymnastics. He broke all of his personal records for achievement. In doing so, he asserted the definition of Olympic greatness: beat your best. Compete only against yourself. Give your all to the contest and you have won.
His achievement was made possible by the passion of Greece, the nearly 25,000 volunteers from throughout Greece who welcomed with open arms 7,000 athletes with intellectual disabilities from nearly 180 countries. Their message to the world is that Greece still holds fast the value of hospitality. Their message to the world is that Greece is ready to invest in her own future. Their message to the world is that Greece will follow new role models as she seeks a brighter future.
The action on the playing fields of sport was matched by the action off of them. Even amidst economic anxiety and political upheaval, a special session of Greek Parliament was held to commemorate the Declaration of The Promotion of Sports Integration in Schools Act, a landmark law that promotes the full inclusion of youth with intellectual disabilities through sport. The law mandates a different model of education for Greece's youth in the future -- a model that focuses on learning the social and emotional lessons of unity.
Volunteers from throughout Greece have also demonstrated their unwavering commitment to these Games despite formidable obstacles. Amidst city-wide transportation strikes, over 300 volunteers found their own way from Athens to the Glyfada Golf Course to enable the golf tournament to continue uninterrupted. And together with nearly 25,000 others, the volunteers are providing our athletes with a world-class Olympic experience.
Greek medical professionals too joined the demonstration. They gave their time and resources to provide free health screenings to thousands of children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Through the Healthy Athletes program, thousands of eye glasses, mouth guards, hearing aids and health products have been distributed free of charge, and hundreds more athletes have been referred to doctors in their home countries for follow up care.
Leaders of international organizations have also joined this demonstration. Members of the United Nations, UNICEF, FIFA, Sport Accord, and the International Olympic Committee came to Greece together with ministers from around the world. They were here to express solidarity with their brothers and sisters with intellectual disabilities. The European Union provided unprecedented financial support as has the private sector. All these, far from attacking Greece, are investing in her. They will be significant actors in creating her future.
There can be little doubt that the political and economic struggles of Greece have created deep and painful wounds. Millions of Greeks are suffering. The crisis is far from over.
But Greece did not fail the athletes of Special Olympics and the athletes of Special Olympics have not failed Greece. They have given her perhaps the greatest gift: hope itself.
Special Olympics change la vie des athlètes par la joie en sport. Aidez-nous faire la différence dans leurs vies.

Kyocera Revolution Ceramic Serrated Tomato Knife
- Online Only
- Summary
Made in Japan of an advanced ceramic, the blade of this tomato knife holds its exceptionally sharp edge up to ten times longer than steel and won't react with foods. The knife's remarkably lightweight, ergonomic design reduces fatigue during repetitive cutting chores. Its serrated blade slices through the thin, slippery skins of tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables without crushing the interior.
- Blade is made from zirconium oxide, a state-of-the-art ceramic that holds a razor-sharp edge far longer than traditional steel.
- Cuts through fresh produce and other foods with remarkable ease and precision.
- Weighing less than a comparable steel knife, this ceramic knife is very nimble and easy to maneuver.
- Nonreactive blade won't discolor foods or affect flavors.
- Resin handle is contoured for a comfortable grip.
- 5" blade.
- Made in China (blade manufactured in Japan).
- Use & Care
- Always use caution when handling sharp objects.
- Ideal for cutting fruits, vegetables and boneless meats. Do not use to cut through joints or bone.
- Due to the inflexibility of ceramic blades, do not attempt cuts that require twisting or bending the blade, such as filleting.
- Do not apply force to the side of the knife blade, as you would to crush garlic.
- Always use with a plastic or wood cutting board. Avoid cutting on marble, stone, glass, ceramic or tile.
- Avoid dropping or scraping knife on hard surface.
- Hand wash.
- To remove stubborn discolorations, wash the blade (avoiding the handle) in a mild solution of bleach and water.
- Do not leave knife in sink. Always store knife in a block or tray to prevent accidents.
- Knives may be sharpened using our Kyocera Electric Ceramic Knife Sharpener or Kyocera will sharpen them for you. For more information, call 1-888-700-7371.

by Steve Kindig Designed by — and for — music lovers AudioQuest paid us a visit recently and let us check out their new line of USB cables. These cables definitely have a high-quality look and feel, but we wondered how noticeable any sonic improvements would be. The proof was in the listening. In a side-by-side comparison against a free-in-the-box USB cable, the AQ cable delivered greater bass extension, along with more bass and mid-bass detail. The soundstage opened up and vocals sounded more natural. A high-quality USB cable is a great way to connect your desktop or laptop computer to a high-end audio digital-to-analog converter. For USB audio, as with all digital audio signals, it's critical to maintain accurate timing. This cable can reduce the timing errors or "jitter" that often makes digital music sound less clear and rich and three-dimensional. Paying attention to every detail The Forest is AQ's lowest-priced USB cable, but it's made to AudioQuest's exacting standards. It's carefully engineered, made with top-notch materials, and tested through hours of listening. Triple shielding reduces external electronic noise and interference, while gold-plated connectors ensure solid, corrosion-free contact. If you connect a Forest cable to your printer, will you see crisper text? Probably not. But if you enjoy listening to digital music files on a high-quality audio system, you'll be surprised at the difference AQ's USB cables can make. Product Highlights:USB cable (Type A to Type B)for use with audio D/A converters, select computer speaker systems, external hard drives, and moreexceeds USB 2.0 high-speed data transfer specificationlow-jitter design specifically for USB audiosolid Long Grain Copper conductors eliminate inter-strand distortionpolyethylene insulationtriple shielding (foil/mylar/braided copper) to reject interferencegold-plated connectors resist corrosionwarranty: 5 yearsOur 60-day money-back guarantee
Good Cables Written By Dunamis, Hawaii on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Simply the best cables you can buy. Expensive, but worth the price if you want the best sight and sound from your equipment... Pros: Quality... Cons: None
solid cable Written By audio guru, cedar Rapids iowa on Thursday, December 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good cable. A generic cable was 20 at a local retail store so for a little extra you get audioquest. I own really expensive cables like the king cobra and don't think they are worth the extra money. But I had to try them to find out. This will give you the performance you need. You won't notice the Extra money in sound if you spend 200 more dollars. Pros: Good cable Sturdy construction Cons: Still a good price
A solid USB connector Written By Lee M, Rye Brook, NY on Friday, September 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice quality construction. Seems to help sound quality. I use it to connect my Imac and DAC. While some people may argue against the benefit of high-end connectors in helping sound quality, I personally find that crucial connections do display a benefit. At the very least, this cord will not fray or oxidize for many, many years. Pros: Top-quality construction. Cons: Price (vs. common connectors).
Immediate improvement Written By JayG, Alexandria, VA on Monday, April 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought this cable to replace the one that came with my Audioengine D1 DAC. I have it connected from the DAC to my laptop. I noticed an immediate improvement in clarity and bass with this cable. The improvements are more pronounced the higher the quality of music file I'm listening too. Pros: Improved clarity and bass in comparison to the standard cables. Cons: None
Cable USB Written By Eliseo, Puerto Rico on Thursday, March 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Es el primer cable usb que compro para audio, lo estoy usando con un DAC en mi computadora. Muy buena calidad en su construcción y elegante suena muy bien. El precio me siento comodo pagando lo que vale pero no mas de eso. This is the first USB cable I have bought for audio; I am using it with the DAC in my computer. The quality of the construction is very good and elegant and it sounds really good. I feel very comfortable paying what it's worth but no more than that. Pros: Calidad en su construcción. The quality of the construction Cons: Ninguna None Crutchfield response on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 Translation provided by Crutchfield's Spanish Sales & Support team.

Defies Physics... Written By KN, Rochester, NY on Monday, March 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This cable delivers sound so pristine, it defies physics. Just like the other reviews say, there really shouldn't be any theoretical difference between this cable and a regular store-bought "cheapie"...but there is! I can't explain it, but it's there. The highs, mids, and lows are SOOOO much more defined in space. I am running this cable with my Def Tech Incline speakers, and just to test it out for myself, I compared this cable with the stock cable that came with the speakers...playing the same song. The difference is Night and Day! I would highly recommend this cable..like I said, I don't know how to explain it, but the difference is audibly clear. Pros: - Impeccable separation between highs, mids, and lows - Solid, snug connectors Cons: - None so far!
USB upgrade Written By jason, south portland maine on Sunday, March 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The audioquest usb cable has greatly improved my connection between PC and DAC, providing yet another layer to tonal response and listening enjoyment. Good quality cables do make a lot of difference and should not be overlooked as you build upon your system. As always Crutchfield is my place for all of my audio and visual needs. Pros: Great packaging, quality components. Cons: None
AudioQuest Forest Written By DaveN, Prior Lake on Tuesday, February 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Using the USB-A to USB-B cable. Works well with Peachtree Audio X-1. A good quality cable. A good cable will have no sound of it's own. We are talking digital here. Pros: Does a good job in my application. Cons: None to date
very good quality, great price Written By MZH, Maryland on Friday, December 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) very good!
AudioQuest Forest Written By Anonymous, 53719 on Sunday, October 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As advertised. Great product
Audioquest Forest USB cable Written By Gary, Troy, NY on Sunday, September 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nicely made cable. Definately an upgrade in sound from a generic cable. Bass is tight, midrange and highs are open and present a nice soundstage. Pros: Warm sound, clear vocals, good soundstage.
Good Quality Cable, But Don't Expect Magic Written By Dave Z, Rockland County, NY on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) As is my experience and expectation with any digital cable, I hear absolutely no difference in sound between this cable and any half-decent USB cable. That being said, I bought this cable for the shorter length and better build quality for a neater installation and -- just perhaps -- a little protection against very unlikely interference or other glitches. Considering the cost of my system, I don't mind spending a few dollars more. Pros: Solid, well-built, and attractive Cons: A bit pricey for a cable that, technically and in my experience, should make no difference in sound quality
AudioQuest Forest USB Written By G-S, Knoxville, Tennessee on Saturday, July 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Extremely well made, fits snugly into my audio interface and does what's its supposed to do. Don't necessarily notice better quality in my audio, however audio remains crystal clear and I have had no dropouts. Pros: Very well made, sleek in appearance, fits snugly Cons: A bit on the expensive side for a USB cable.
Perfect for the price Written By Flint, Elgin,Il on Sunday, February 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect USB audio cable for the price. Connectors are of high quality. Neutral sound. Only wish the cable was cloth covered. Pros: Nice price. Good quality connectors. Cons: Cheesy cable covering.
Great Quality and Reliable Performance Written By Larry, Atlanta, GA on Friday, February 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I used this cable to connect Musical Fidelity V-DAC II (24/96 through USB) to MacBook Pro. The cable has good fit and seems to be of a good quality. V-DAC II performs exceptionally well with this cable. Making sure that performance of digital audio stream over USB is reliable and happens without any losses is critical for achieving excellent performance of a connected DAC so that was my motivation and reasoning behind installing this cable. For the record, my upgrade included not only this AudioQuest USB cable but also AudioQuest RCA cable and Musical Fidelity V-PSU II so the effect was cumulative and probably mostly due to upgraded AudioQuest RCA cable and V-PSU II. After installing AudioQuest RCA/USB cables and V-PSU II I turned on my system and tried to listen to Pink Floyd "Wish You Were Here" through Beyerdynamics DT990/600 Ohm headphones. In short, I was shocked to the point I did not recognize my system! Sound became so sharp, detailed, and crystal clear with very strong and accurate bass that I felt like I was listening to completely different DAC and headphone amplifier! Few times I heard sound passages, loud and clear, that I never heard before - on recording that I listened to like 1000+ times. Great product! Pros: Good quality and fit. Excellent performance of connected Musical Fidelity V-DAC II. Cons: None
High-quality USB cables count! Written By Jud the Prof, Pasadena, CA on Saturday, February 11, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) More and more hi-def audio comes via the USB port on one's PC (and less and less via S/PDIF coax links). USB ports on WinXP/Vista/7 computers are restricted to 96k samples @ 24-bits tops, but can be pushed by the drivers in hi-end DACs to 192k/32. At high sample rates and high bitdepths ordinary USB cables designed to link peripherals such as printers and cameras to one's computer *fail* in audio applications, and fail too at the Philips Redbook CD standard of a mere 44.1k at 16 bits. Audioquest's Forest USB cable is the cheapest next step up, and **audible** even on a modest desktop audio system, e.g., mine which consists of a PC laptop running JRiver Media Center, a Music Streamer II DAC, and a sub-satellite Cambridge Soundworks speaker system. My DAC gets its power from the PC, so the Audioquest cable helps there as well providing a better pathway for the 5 volts DC that runs my outboard "sound card." You should buy this cable. Pros: Great price. Nice appearance. Good performance. Cons: Makes you wish you could afford the Audioquest Diamond USB Cable!

Cashner, Padres look to keep rolling vs. Giants
Cain hoping to carry over recent road success to home start
The Padres' decision to move Andrew Cashner into the starting rotation at the end of April has definitely paid dividends.
Continually making improvements through his 10 starts this season, Cashner has tossed six or more innings in each of his last seven starts, going 4-1 with a 3.17 ERA.
He'll try to keep up that pace Tuesday as the Padres take on the Giants at AT&T Park. Cashner played a huge role in Monday's game, laying down a perfect RBI bunt single in the 13th inning that helped the Padres win their seventh straight game.
The right-hander had his best start of the season last Tuesday against the Braves by commanding all three of his pitches. He worked a career-high eight innings and allowing just two runs on six hits for his fifth win of the season.
"Every time I got into trouble," Cashner said, "... I told myself to keep making pitches. I kind of toned it down after the first and got my changeup down in the zone. I think that was the biggest thing."
On the other side, Giants right-hander Matt Cain has been on his game since allowing a season-high seven runs and nine hits against the Cardinals on June 1.
He's surrendered just one run and six hits in 13 2/3 innings of work over his last two starts, both on the road. That stretch dropped his road ERA from 6.27 to 4.76.
On Thursday against the Pirates, the right-hander allowed just two hits in 6 2/3 innings for his fifth win of the season.
"I feel like I'm throwing the ball like I want," Cain said. "I'm just trying to eliminate the big inning."
Padres: Quentin, Cabrera in holding pattern
Few answers were given Monday as to the health of Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera and left fielder Carlos Quentin.
Cabrera has a mild left hamstring strain and Quentin missed his third game Monday with a sore left shoulder, an injury that happened on a swing Friday against the D-backs.
Both are still getting treatment and could be headed to the disabled list.
"I wish I could be a little more concrete with some answers," manager Bud Black said Monday. "They're still sore."
Giants: Draft pick Jones gets taste of Majors
Giants second-round Draft pick Ryder Jones was at AT&T Park for the first time Monday, chatting it up with Giants legend Willie McCovey and current outfielder Hunter Pence.
The Watauga (N.C.) High School product said he grew up a Giants fan because of his grandparents, who were Giants fans while living in Northern California.
Jones, who committed to Stanford before deciding to sign with the Giants, will transition from third base to shortstop when he begins his Minor League assignment.
"It's going to take some getting used to, for sure," Jones said. "I'm definitely going to take some extra ground balls."
Worth noting
• Padres outfielder Kyle Blanks is hitting .343 (24-for-70) with five doubles, five home runs and 23 RBIs with runners on base this season.
• Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Marco Scutaro could return to the lineup Tuesday and that Angel Pagan and Pablo Sandoval are both close to beginning rehab assignments, with a target for both to return when the team plays in Los Angeles next week.

When Debby Lucast first met Mystie, she was a neglected toddler who couldn't walk or talk. Debby and her family have known a lot of children in need, after taking in nearly 90 foster children over the years. But it didn't take long to see that Mystie was something special, despite her many challenges: intellectual disability, seizure disorder, ADHD, scoliosis, etc. "She has a lot to deal with," says Debby, "but all that really matters is that she's a great kid." The Lucast family eventually adopted Mystie, who joined their family of three other adopted children. Mystie grew into a lovely girl, yet she found many things were difficult for her. She tried hard, but was often withdrawn, ducking her head down, avoiding conversation and eye contact. Debby tried to find activities that would help bring Mystie out of her shell, but that wasn't so easy. "She'd tried dance and gymnastics, but she really couldn't keep up with the other girls," says Debby. Then Mystie got involved in Special Olympics Missouri and found a new comfort zone. The program gave her a foundation to grow and thrive – and Mystie gained both sports skills and social confidence. "It's been great," says Debby. "It's been a huge self-esteem builder for her. Everyone's positive and it motivates her." Mystie has tried Special Olympics softball, flag football, track and basketball. But right now, it's all about skating, especially since the 14-year-old has been chosen as one of the youngest members of Team USA's figure-skating team. And Mystie is pretty excited! "She's excited, but we're all excited. She's been skating up a storm. She's at the rink four times a week, two hours a session," says Debby. And that girl who seemed to be withdrawn? She's also been chosen for training as a public speaker at Special Olympics and other events. And so far, she's doing great. Says Debby, "Special Olympics has helped her so much, socially, emotionally and so many other ways. I think every kid who qualifies needs to be in Special Olympics."
