Sage Custard with Coffee Caramel and Plum Sauce
Andrea Lekberg
The Artist Baker, Morristown, NJ
Pastry chef Andrea Lekberg describes this custard as a slightly denser version of flan. The dessert takes a total of three days to make, so be sure to plan ahead.
Yield: 8 servings
To make the sage custard, combine the evaporated milk and sage leaves in a saucepan over high heat. Heat until bubbles begin to form along the edge of the pan, then remove from the heat. Cover and let steep overnight in the refrigerator.
The following day, combine 1/4 cup of the sugar and the water in a small pot. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook the mixture, swirling the pan but not stirring, until it reaches a golden caramel color, about 7 minutes. Pour into a 7-inch soufflé dish and let cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 325ºF. Bring a large pot or teakettle of water to a boil to use for a water bath.
Strain the sage-infused evaporated milk into a medium pot and add the remaining 1/3 cup sugar. Bring just to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, and vanilla in a medium bowl. Slowly add the hot milk to the egg mixture, whisking constantly. Keep whisking for a few minutes to cool down the mixture slightly. Strain and pour over the layer of caramel in the soufflé dish.
Place the soufflé dish in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan. Carefully fill the baking pan with hot water from the teakettle until it's halfway up the sides of the soufflé dish. Bake until the custard jiggles very slightly when gently shaken, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool in the water bath. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
To make the coffee caramel, combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan; stir to completely dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Continue boiling, swirling the pan but not stirring, until the mixture reaches a golden caramel color, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the butter. Remove from the heat, add the cream, and stir to combine. Stir in the coffee. Reserve.
To make the wild plum sauce, combine the plum jelly and the hot water; mix until smooth.
To serve, run a knife along the edge of the chilled custard and unmold onto a large serving plate. On individual serving plates, place a dollop of plum sauce and top with a slice of custard. Drizzle with a little coffee caramel.

Farmers Facing Jail in Listeria Outbreak
If you make people sick because you sell dirty food, the government would like you to know it is no longer playing.
On Thursday, U.S marshals acting on behalf of the U.S. Attorney's Office with the Food and Drug Administration arrested two brothers who owned and operated a Colorado cantaloupe farm directly linked to a 2011 listeria outbreak that killed 33 people and sickened 147 in 28 states, including four in California. It was the deadliest listeria outbreak in almost 90 years.
Eric and Ryan Jensen of the now-bankrupt Jensen Farms were each charged with six misdemeanor counts of introducing adulterated food into interstate commerce, according to USA Today. Court documents also state that the cantaloupe "was prepared, packed and held under conditions which rendered it injurious to health." The brothers, who appeared in U.S. District Court in Denver and were released on a $100,000 bond, each face up to six years in prison and up to $1.5 million in fines. Their trial is set for December 2.
"As this case so tragically reminds us, food processors play a critical role in ensuring that our food is safe," said U.S. Atty. John Walsh. "They bear a special responsibility to ensure that the food they produce and sell is not dangerous to the public. Where they fail to live up to that responsibility, and as these charges demonstrate, this office and the Food and Drug Administration have a responsibility to act forcefully to enforce the law."
Attorney Bill Marler, who is representing 46 families in civil suits filed against the former farmers, said in a statement on his website that he was pleased the feds recognized "that some form of criminal sanctions were appropriate against Jensen Farms." Seattle-based Marler had first urged the U.S. Attorney's Office to consider criminal charges last year. (He'd still like them to go after Walmart and Kroger, who distributed the bad fruit.)
See also: Food recall archives.
Such charges in food-poisoning cases are rare, according to Marler. "The real significance of the case against the Jensens is they are being charged with misdemeanors, which do not require intent, just the fact that they shipped contaminated food using interstate commerce," he told USA Today.
After Thursday's hearing, the brothers released a statement characterizing the outbreak as a "terrible accident." As in, they accidentally forgot to keep their processing plant clean?
The Centers for Disease Control linked cantaloupe grown at Jensen Farms to the listeria outbreak that began in August 2011. A nationwide recall was issued for all whole and cut melon that could be traced to the farm. In October of that year, the Food and Drug Administration found that Jensen Farms' packing and storage facilities likely helped spread the listeria and directly contributed to the outbreak. The outbreak lasted until December 2011. Among the victims were three newborns and a miscarried fetus.
The FDA said the likely culprit was a used potato-washing machine bought just before the outbreak. FDA inspectors said the sorter was meant for raw potatoes and allowed dirty water to pool and recontaminate melons, which should have been given a chlorine bath. The agency also cited dirty water on the floor of the packing center.
"Several areas on both the washing and drying equipment appeared to be uncleanable, and dirt and product buildup was visible on some areas of the equipment," according to the FDA report.
"U.S. consumers should demand the highest standards of food safety and integrity," said Special Agent in Charge Patrick J. Holland of the FDA Office of Criminal Investigations, Kansas City Field Office. "The filing of criminal charges in this deadly outbreak sends the message that absolute care must be taken to ensure that deadly pathogens do not enter our food supply chain."

�Quick! Get inside!� he said franticly as they reached the door.
He kicked it open, checked inside to made sure it was empty
then ushered them all in.
Just as he pulled the door closed behind him,
the droid squad appeared at the back of the base. The droids had won. They had taken over the base.
Everyone collapsed onto the floor or against a wall, panting and coughing. The house they had broken into was just a small, one-roomed building. There was a window with no glass facing towards the base and a small washbasin below it. There were a couple of empty cupboards and a wafer-thin mattress on the floor in the corner. The walls were no better inside than they were out. Paint was flaking off and in one corner there was a hole with some pipes hanging out.
Blast groaned and clutched his stomach as he leant against one of the walls. It was nearly time for his injection. Padfoot looked at him in concern but didn�t say anything, not wanting to in front of Charge.
Charge was sat next to Padfoot on the mattress and he pulled his helmet off and put his head back against the wall. To Blast�s great surprise, he was only young. He had a very young but still battle-scarred face and lots of wavy brown hair.
Blast pulled his own helmet off and set it down on the ground by his feet. He saw Charge looking at him and smiled. �You�re younger than I expected.� Charge said with his eyes closed and his head still back. Blast smiled and replied �And you�re a lot younger than I expected.� Charge�s lip twitched in what might have been a smile. �Everybody says that.� He said and opened his eyes.
Blast smiled again. �Right. Everyone needs a rest. I�ll keep lookout for now. There�s nothing we can do until everyone is back at full strength.� Padfoot looked at him knowingly. Knowing that Blast wasn�t going to be back at full strength until he�d had his injection and that he was still in pain. That was why he wanted to be on watch.
And so they all relaxed as much as possible and slept. All except Blast who stood looking out of the window at the droids patrolling the base they had just won control of.
Padfoot also didn�t sleep. He pretended he was, but in actual fact he was keeping an eye on Blast, making sure he didn�t collapse or anything.
It was lucky he was, because just as darkness started to fall, Blast suddenly jerked and fell to his knees.
The U.R.S. second in command leapt up and grabbed him to make sure he didn�t fall completely.
�I though I told you to get some sleep.� Blast quietly groaned. �Yeah. It�s lucky I didn�t though isn�t it.� He smiled under his helmet and helped Blast up. R.K. looked at his monitor. �I should have taken it an hour ago.� He commented and Padfoot bit his lip. �Do you think you�ll make it?� he asked in concern.
�I don�t know. Turso said that if I mutate again it will be a lot slower and more painful. It won�t be as instant as last time. It will stretch out over a couple of hours.� And just as he said it, he grabbed his left hand and pulled it against his chest.
�What�s wrong?� Padfoot asked. Blast yanked his glove off and saw that his hand had started turning green.
He stared at it for a few seconds then rammed his glove back on. �Wake everyone up. We�re going in.�

Is Angel Pagan An Everyday Player?
Angel Pagan had what looked to be a tremendous season for the Mets in 2010. When the news broke that Carlos Beltran would miss a considerable chunk of time and miss the start of the season, Pagan stepped right in as he did in 2009 and gave the Mets more than anyone expected. In 151 games he batted .290 with 31 doubles, 7 triples and 11 home runs. He also scored 80 runs while swiping 37 bases. He was the team's best defensive outfielder as well. All that for the rock bottom price of $1.5 million dollars.
Every baseball season teaches us all something new. Last season, I learned what many have been preaching to me for years, and that is the importance of on-base percentage. The final exam for my course on OBP, came in the form of Jeff Francoeur, a player who I loved from the first day he joined the Mets in July of 2009, and pretty much all through his Mets tenure. As his final days with the team were dwindling down, the swings and misses and lack of patience at the plate really had started to wear down my patience with him, until I finally exhausted all of it while watching him play as a Texas Ranger.
I still believe Frenchy was great in the clubhouse and an integral part of the team dynamic, but on the field he did little to improve as a player. No matter what advice his coaches and fellow players gave him, he would ultimately resort to his free swinging ways. I held out hope for him longer than most because he was only 27, but even I had to finally admit that his value on offense was limited and that he wasn't nearly half as good as his charm in the dugout.
My fascination with Francoeur led me to the conclusion that on-base percentage is as important a factor in evaluating a player than home runs and RBI totals. During the World Series, Joe Buck mentioned in the bottom of the seventh, that the Rangers had just nine outs left to try and mount a comeback. I started counting those outs and saw so many of them wasted on first pitch swinging. Finally there were no outs left for the Rangers, and the San Francisco Giants won the World Series. For the first time I viewed the game in a way that I've never done while watching a Mets game. It was apparent to me now that minimizing outs is indeed a critical part of the dynamic of being productive as a player and winning as a team. We only get 27 of them per nine inning game, and it is important not to squander them if you can help it. That's where OBP comes in. Getting on-base any way you can and as much as you can increases your odds of scoring, preserves outs, and guarantees the player batting behind you an at-bat. It prolongs the inning, tires the opposing pitcher and puts more pressure on the defense, all of which are key elements when your team is at-bat and needs to score runs.
Sorry for the detour, but I needed to establish that before making my next point. Getting back to Francoeur, and more importantly Angel Pagan. I looked at Frenchy's career OBP which stands at a woeful .296. Among starting right fielders in the last five years, it ranks as the worst in baseball. I don't know what the baseline is for a good OBP, but I would say that .330 would be a minimum standard. League averages in 2010 were .327 in the AL, and .324 in the NL.
Taking a closer look at Angel Pagan's splits, I discovered data that would indicate to me that it would be better for the Mets to use Pagan in a platoon role instead of an everyday right fielder or center fielder.
In this first chart I created on Baseball Reference, it shows that Pagan's on-base percentage was just .298 against left handed pitching in 2010.
2010 Splits
Split | G | AB | H | RBI | BB | |||
vs RHP as LHB | 140 | 436 | 131 | 49 | 34 | .300 | .351 | .787 |
vs LHP as RHB | 77 | 142 | 37 | 20 | 8 | .261 | .298 | .692 |
I wondered if this was just a fluke or maybe just a tough year for him against southpaws. So I took a look at his career splits as well.
Career Splits
Split | G | AB | H | RBI | BB | |||
vs RHP as LHB | 351 | 927 | 278 | 98 | 75 | .300 | .351 | .796 |
vs LHP as RHB | 210 | 403 | 101 | 55 | 27 | .251 | .294 | .708 |
It clearly illustrates that the Mets would probably be able to maximize their offensive output at right field, if they were able to platoon Angel Pagan with a right handed bat, preferably one with some power.
The Mets have a few outfielders who appear to be major league ready in Lucas Duda, Fernando Martinez and Chris Carter. But unfortunately, they are all left-handed sluggers.
In fact the only right handed hitting outfielder currently on the Mets 40 man roster, is Jason Bay who of course will be playing leftfield in 2011.
I took a look at some of the players hitting free agency this week and I saw one name that popped out at me, our old friend, Xavier Nady.
Nady's value plunged after surgery on his elbow, but he showed signs of returning to form for the Cubs late last season.
Against left handed pitching, Nady has some impressive numbers in his career.
Split | G | AB | H | HR | RBI | BB | ||||
vs LHP as RHB | 351 | 725 | 215 | 23 | 97 | 69 | .297 | .367 | .451 | .818 |
He was already being used in a platoon role last season, so he should have no problems adjusting. He can also spell Ike Davis at first base against a tough lefthanded pitcher or just to give him the occasional day off. His bat would be nice coming off the bench as well.
That .367 on-base percentage and .818 OPS would look really good in our lineup against southpaws, perticularly in lieu of Pagan. Nady gives you 70 points more in OBP and over 100 more points in OPS.
He shouldn't cost an arm and a leg to acquire, and we already know he can play in New York and ad some charcter to the clubhouse.

HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation |
HP Fortran for OpenVMS
Previous | Contents | Index |
The DEFINE directive creates a symbolic variable whose existence or value can be tested during conditional compilation. The UNDEFINE directive removes a defined symbol.
The DEFINE and UNDEFINE directives take the following forms: 1
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).name
Is the name of the variable.val
Is an INTEGER(4) value assigned to name.
DEFINE and UNDEFINE create and remove variables for use with the IF (or IF DEFINED) directive. Symbols defined with the DEFINE directive are local to the directive. They cannot be declared in the Fortran program.
Because Fortran programs cannot access the named variables, the names can duplicate Fortran keywords, intrinsic functions, or user-defined names without conflict.
To test whether a symbol has been defined, use the IF DEFINED (name) directive You can assign an integer value to a defined symbol. To test the assigned value of name, use the IF directive. IF test expressions can contain most logical and arithmetic operators.
Attempting to undefine a symbol that has not been defined produces a compiler warning.
The DEFINE and UNDEFINE directives can appear anywhere in a program, enabling and disabling symbol definitions.
Consider the following:
!DEC$ DEFINE testflag !DEC$ IF DEFINED (testflag) WRITE (*,*) 'Compiling first line' !DEC$ ELSE WRITE (*,*) 'Compiling second line' !DEC$ ENDIF !DEC$ UNDEFINE testflag |
1 The following forms are also allowed: !MS$DEFINE name[=val] and !MS$UNDEFINE name. |
The FIXEDFORMLINESIZE directive sets the line length for fixed-form
source code. The directive takes the following form: 1
You can set FIXEDFORMLINESIZE to 72 (the default), 80, or 132
characters. The FIXEDFORMLINESIZE setting remains in effect until the
end of the file, or until it is reset.
The FIXEDFORMLINESIZE directive sets the source-code line length in
include files, but not in USE modules, which are compiled separately.
If an include file resets the line length, the change does not affect
the host file.
This directive has no effect on free-form source code.
Consider the following:
14.6 FIXEDFORMLINESIZE Directive
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
WRITE(*,*) 'Sentence that goes beyond the 72nd column without continuation.'
1 The following form is also allowed: !MS$FIXEDFORMLINESIZE:{72|80|132}. |
The FREEFORM directive specifies that source code is in free-form
format. The NOFREEFORM directive specifies that source code is in
fixed-form format.
These directives take the following forms: 1
When the FREEFORM or NOFREEFORM directives are used, they remain in
effect for the remainder of the file, or until the opposite directive
is used. When in effect, they apply to include files, but do not affect
USE modules, which are compiled separately.
14.7 FREEFORM and NOFREEFORM Directives
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
1 The following forms are also allowed: !MS$FREEFORM and !MS$NOFREEFORM. |
The IDENT directive specifies a string that identifies an object
module. The compiler places the string in the identification field of
an object module when it generates the module for each source program
unit. The IDENT directive takes the following form:
Only the first IDENT directive is effective; the compiler ignores any
additional IDENT directives in a program unit or module.
14.8 IDENT Directive
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
Is a character constant containing up to 31 printable characters.
On syntax rules for all general directives, see Section 14.1.
The IF and IF DEFINED directives specify a conditional compilation
construct. IF tests whether a logical expression is .TRUE. or .FALSE..
IF DEFINED tests whether a symbol has been defined.
The directive-initiated construct takes the following form: 1
The IF and IF DEFINED directive constructs end with an ENDIF directive
and can contain one or more ELSEIF directives and at most one ELSE
directive. If the logical condition within a directive evaluates to
.TRUE. at compilation, and all preceding conditions in the IF construct
evaluate to .FALSE., then the statements contained in the directive
block are compiled.
A name can be defined with a DEFINE directive, and can
optionally be assigned an integer value. If the symbol has been
defined, with or without being assigned a value, IF DEFINED (name)
evaluates to .TRUE.; otherwise, it evaluates to .FALSE..
If the logical condition in the IF or IF DEFINED directive is .TRUE.,
statements within the IF or IF DEFINED block are compiled. If the
condition is .FALSE., control transfers to the next ELSEIF or ELSE
directive, if any.
If the logical expression in an ELSEIF directive is .TRUE., statements
within the ELSEIF block are compiled. If the expression is .FALSE.,
control transfers to the next ELSEIF or ELSE directive, if any.
If control reaches an ELSE directive because all previous logical
conditions in the IF construct evaluated to .FALSE., the statements in
an ELSE block are compiled unconditionally.
You can use any Fortran logical or relational operator or symbol in the
logical expression of the directive, including: .LT., <, .GT., >,
.AND., .OR., and .XOR.. The logical expression can be as complex as you
like, but the whole directive must fit on one line.
Consider the following:
14.9 IF and IF DEFINED Directives
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
Is a logical expression that evaluates to .TRUE. or .FALSE..
Is the name of a symbol to be tested for definition.
Are executable statements that are compiled (or not) depending on the
value of logical expressions in the IF directive construct.
! When the following code is compiled and run,
! the output depends on whether one of the expressions
! tests .TRUE., or all test .FALSE.
!DEC$ DEFINE flag=3
!DEC$ IF (flag .LT. 2)
WRITE (*,*) "This is compiled if flag less than 2."
!DEC$ ELSEIF (flag >= 8)
WRITE (*,*) "Or this compiled if flag greater than &
or equal to 8."
WRITE (*,*) "Or this compiled if all preceding &
conditions .FALSE."
1 Each directive in the construct can begin with !MS$ instead of cDEC$ |
The INTEGER directive specifies the default integer kind. This
directive takes the following form: 1
The INTEGER directive specifies a size of 1 (KIND=1), 2 (KIND=2), 4
(KIND=4), or 8 (KIND=8) bytes for default integer numbers.
When the INTEGER directive is effect, all default integer variables are
of the kind specified in the directive. Only numbers specified or
implied as INTEGER without KIND are affected.
The INTEGER directive can only appear at the top of a program unit. A
program unit is a main program, an external subroutine or function, a
module or a block data program unit. The directive cannot appear
between program units, or at the beginning of internal subprograms. It
does not affect modules invoked with the USE statement in the program
unit that contains it.
The default logical kind is the same as the default integer kind. So,
when you change the default integer kind you also change the default
logical kind.
Consider the following:
14.10 INTEGER Directive
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
INTEGER i ! a 4-byte integer
WRITE(*,*) KIND(i)
WRITE(*,*) KIND(i) ! still a 4-byte integer
! not affected by setting in subroutine
INTEGER j ! a 2-byte integer
WRITE(*,*) KIND(j)
1 The following form is also allowed: !MS$INTEGER:{2|4|8}. |
The IVDEP directive assists the compiler's dependence analysis. It can
only be applied to iterative DO loops. This directive can also be
specified as INIT_DEP_FWD (INITialize DEPendences ForWarD).
The IVDEP directive takes the following form:
The IVDEP directive is an assertion to the compiler's optimizer about
the order of memory references inside a DO loop.
The IVDEP directive tells the compiler to begin dependence analysis by
assuming all dependences occur in the same forward direction as their
appearance in the normal scalar execution order. This contrasts with
normal compiler behavior, which is for the dependence analysis to make
no initial assumptions about the direction of a dependence.
The IVDEP directive must precede the DO statement for each DO loop it
affects. No source code lines, other than the following, can be placed
between the IVDEP directive statement and the DO statement:
The IVDEP directive is applied to a DO loop in which the user knows
that dependences are in lexical order. For example, if two memory
references in the loop touch the same memory location and one of them
modifies the memory location, then the first reference to touch the
location has to be the one that appears earlier lexically in the
program source code. This assumes that the right-hand side of an
assignment statement is "earlier" than the left-hand side.
The IVDEP directive informs the compiler that the program would behave
correctly if the statements were executed in certain orders other than
the sequential execution order, such as executing the first statement
or block to completion for all iterations, then the next statement or
block for all iterations, and so forth. The optimizer can use this
information, along with whatever else it can prove about the
dependences, to choose other execution orders.
In the following example, the IVDEP directive provides more information
about the dependences within the loop, which may enable loop
transformations to occur:
In this case, the scalar execution order follows:
IVDEP directs the compiler to initially assume that when steps 1 and 5
access a common memory location, step 1 always accesses the location
first because step 1 occurs earlier in the execution sequence. This
approach lets the compiler reorder instructions, as long as it chooses
an instruction schedule that maintains the relative order of the array
14.11 IVDEP Directive
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
On syntax rules for all general directives, see Section 14.1.
The MESSAGE directive specifies a character string to be sent to the
standard output device during the first compiler pass; this aids
This directive takes the following form: 1
Consider the following:
14.12 MESSAGE Directive
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
Is a character constant specifying a message.
!DEC$ MESSAGE:'Compiling Sound Speed Equations'
On syntax rules for all general directives, see Section 14.1.
1 The following form is also allowed: !MS$MESSAGE:string. |
The OBJCOMMENT directive specifies a library search path in an object
file. This directive takes the following form: 1
The linker searches for the library named by the OBJCOMMENT directive
as if you named it on the command line, that is, before default library
searches. You can place multiple library search directives in the same
source file. Each search directive appears in the object file in the
order it is encountered in the source file.
If the OBJCOMMENT directive appears in the scope of a module, any
program unit that uses the module also contains the directive, just as
if the OBJCOMMENT directive appeared in the source file using the
If you want to have the OBJCOMMENT directive in a module, but do not
want it in the program units that use the module, place the directive
outside the module that is used.
Consider the following:
14.13 OBJCOMMENT Directive
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
Is a character constant specifying the name and, if necessary, the path
of the library that the linker is to search.
MODULE a
!DEC$ OBJCOMMENT LIB: "opengl32.lib"
END MODULE a
!DEC$ OBJCOMMENT LIB: "graftools.lib"
MODULE b
END MODULE b
PROGRAM go
USE a ! library search contained in MODULE a
! included here
USE b ! library search not included
On syntax rules for all general directives, see Section 14.1.
1 The following form is also allowed: !MS$OBJCOMMENT LIB:library. |
The OPTIONS directive affects data alignment and warnings about data
alignment. It takes the following form:
The OPTIONS (and accompanying END OPTIONS) directives must come after
OPTIONS, SUBROUTINE, FUNCTION, and BLOCK DATA statements (if any) in
the program unit, and before the executable part of the program unit.
The OPTIONS directive supersedes the compiler option that sets
alignment and the compiler option that sets warnings about alignment.
For performance reasons, HP Fortran aligns local data items on
natural boundaries. However, EQUIVALENCE, COMMON, RECORD, and STRUCTURE
data declaration statements can force misaligned data. If
/WARN=NOALIGNMENT is specified, warnings will not be issued if
misaligned data is encountered.
14.14 OPTIONS Directive
Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or * (see Section 14.1).
Is one (or both) of the following:
Controls whether warnings are issued by the
compiler for data that is not naturally aligned. By default, you
receive compiler messages when misaligned data is encountered
Controls alignment of fields in record
structures and data items in common blocks. The fields and data items
can be naturally aligned (for performance reasons) or they can be
packed together on arbitrary byte boundaries.
Is a specifier with one of the following forms:
Is one of the following keywords:
Is one of the following keywords:
Packs fields in records or data items in common blocks
on arbitrary byte boundaries.
Naturally aligns fields in records and data items in
common blocks on up to 64-bit boundaries (inconsistent with the Fortran
95/90 standard).
This keyword causes the compiler to naturally
align all data in a common block, including INTEGER(8), REAL(8), and
all COMPLEX data.
Naturally aligns data items in common blocks on up to
32-bit boundaries (consistent with the Fortran 95/90 standard).
This keyword only applies to common blocks; so, you can specify
/ALIGN=COMMONS=STANDARD, but you cannot specify
Is the same as specifying /ALIGN, /ALIGN=NATURAL, and
Is the same as specifying /NOALIGN, /ALIGN=PACKED, and
Misaligned data significantly increases the time it takes to execute a program. As the number of misaligned fields encountered increases, so does the time needed to complete program execution. Specifying cDEC$ OPTIONS/ALIGN (or the compiler option that sets alignment) minimizes misaligned data. |
If you want aligned data in common blocks, do one of the following:
If you want packed, unaligned data in a record structure, do one of the following:
An OPTIONS directive must be accompanied by an END OPTIONS directive; the directives can be nested up to 100 levels. For example:
CDEC$ OPTIONS /ALIGN=PACKED ! Start of Group A declarations CDEC$ OPTIONS /ALIGN=RECO=NATU ! Start of nested Group B more declarations CDEC$ END OPTIONS ! End of Group B still more declarations CDEC$ END OPTIONS ! End of Group A |
The CDEC$ OPTIONS specification for Group B only applies to RECORDS; common blocks within Group B will be PACKED. This is because COMMONS retains the previous setting (in this case, from the Group A specification).

Townhouse Fire in Chesterfield County, Virginia
At 3:04 am, on Sunday, March 5, 2006, Chesterfield Fire & EMS (CFEMS) units were dispatched to a townhouse fire in the northern section of Chesterfield County, Virginia.
CFEMS Battalion 3, Chief Kevin Spaulding, arrived to find heavy fire conditions in a two-story end unit townhouse. The fire had vented out of the rear kitchen window and vinyl siding had aided the fire spread into the soffit and attic areas in the rear of the structure.
Responding crews quickly knocked down the fire in the 1st floor kitchen and attic areas.
There was no fire extension to the bravo exposure which only suffered slight smoke damage.
The fire was controlled using 3 engines, 1 truck and 2 medics from CFEMS and 1 Richmond City engine which responded via an automatic mutual aid agreement. It was marked under control in approximately 45 minutes.

Furthering Language Incentive Program (FLIP)
The Furthering Language Incentive Program (FLIP) allows degree-seeking undergraduate students who have already completed the General Education World Languages requirement to earn up to eight additional semester hours of college credit while studying a world language or languages. Students should request evaluation for FLIP credit during the semester in which they are enrolled in a FLIP eligible course. Students may also apply for FLIP credit retroactively, provided they have not yet graduated. Please use the link at the bottom of this page to complete the electronic submission form.
FLIP 1 — Advanced language FLIP credit
FLIP 1 is designed for students wanting to continue the study of a world language at a more advanced level. A student may earn four semester hours of additional, ungraded credit for a fifth-semester level (or higher) world language course completed with a grade of B- or better. Four additional semester hours of FLIP 1 credit will be awarded for a second fifth-semester level course (or higher) in the same or in a different language with a grade of B- or better.
You are eligible if:
- you have completed the World Languages component of the CLAS General Education Program in high school or by any other acceptable means except through college-level language study
- you have taken the placement test in the desired FLIP language (you must take this prior to enrolling in a FLIP course).
FLIP 2 — New language FLIP credit
FLIP 2 is designed for students who would like to study a second world language at the introductory level. Two semester hours of additional, ungraded credit will be awarded for each FLIP 2 course completed with a B- or better in the first four courses of a world language sequence for a maximum of eight semester hours. Students may also choose to study another world language at the introductory level but no more than 8 hours of FLIP credit is ever awarded.
You are eligible if:
- you have completed the World Languages component of the CLAS General Education Program
Before signing up for FLIP credit, please review the following policies:
- In order to be eligible for FLIP 1, you must not have previously earned college credit in that language. Instead, you may use FLIP 2 to study a new language.
- FLIP 1 and FLIP 2 may be combined, but no more than 8 semester hours of FLIP credit is ever awarded.
- If you fail to earn a B- or higher in a FLIP course, you will not receive FLIP credit for that course.
- If you drop a FLIP course after the second week of the semester, you will no longer be eligible for FLIP credit in that language.
- FLIP credit is not graded and is not included in any GPA calculations.
- FLIP hours are counted toward hours required for graduation and are considered CLAS and UI residence credit.
- FLIP credit is considered credit by examination. No more than a total of 30 semester hours may be earned through credit by examination (including AP, IB, or CLEP exams).
Contact the Office of Academic Programs & Student Development with any questions.
To apply for FLIP credit, please complete the form found at: https://uiowa.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bJghdKMPJUxVrnL

On the way to 100 books: a mid-year reading report
I set myself a goal for this year of reading 100 books. Through June 30, I'd read 58, slightly ahead of the pace I need to reach my target.
That sounds like a big pile of books to some of my friends and coworkers, but I'm aware of people who will read more books, in some cases many more books, this year than I will. »Read Full Article(2)
Resnik delivers shattering portrait of Judy Garland in Rep's 'Rainbow'
In "I Could Go On Singing," which would be her last film, Judy Garland plays Jenny Bowman, a dead ringer for Judy Garland: a gifted but troubled singer who both resents and craves her time in the limelight.
"I don't want to be rolled out like a pastry so that everybody can get a nice big bite of me," Jenny insists at one point. »Read Full Article

dc.description.abstract | This study was a grounded theory research aimed at generating a substantive theory that accounts for the explanatory social processes in which immigrant Korean single-mother families were engaged in the United States. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 immigrant Korean single mothers who were living with children under 18 years of age at the time of the interviews. A total of 21 transcripts of interviews provided data for analysis. Data collection guided by theoretical sampling and concurrent constant comparative analysis of the transcribed data and memos was conducted to identify the core social process. The emerged core social process in which immigrant Korean single mothers were engaged was "living for the children," which represented the driving process by which these women made transition to their new lives as single-mother families. The major task throughout the entire transition was re-creating their families. The women's transition involved practical and psychological transitions, each of which involved stages; each stage involved major tasks and processes through which they were trying to achieve these major tasks. The practical transition involved three stages: assuring family survival, struggling between the father role and the mother role, and doing my best as a mother. The psychological transition involved two parallel transitions: becoming strong and settling in with a new supportive network. Fighting with myself and letting things out were processes that functioned between stages and across transitions that resulted in mothers redirecting themselves toward positive thinking and releasing emotional and psychological burdens. Programs and services to assist these women and their families should consider multiple aspects of their transition processes to effectively help them make transitions; this assistance should be synchronized to the context within which these women were embedded, including their stages in each practical and psychological transition; links between these women and established resources should be established; and collaborative awareness programs and community resources should be designed, modified and implemented to create an empowering environment for these strong but socially vulnerable women and families. | en_US |

CoachK-- I will be honest, I think the Calorie Camp FAQ is terrible. And you can't find it unless you link to it or you google it. I tried searching for it under Help and got nothing. It would be nice if the program would show how you earned your points, i.e. Person has 100 pts, and clicks points, and sees that on 4/8 they earned 8 pts for publishing their report and 2 pts for commenting. Maybe there is a way to do this that I don't know about? |

If your ability to lose weight and your gain has changed since having your daughter, you might want to have your thyroid tested. It is very common for pregnancy to throw the thyroid out of whack and can be a contributing factor to very slow/nonexistent weight loss. Also, do you use a scale as well as measuring spoons and cups? If you arent measuring, it is very difficult to have a true idea of what you are actually eating. A half a cup of cottage cheese is a heck of a lot less than you think, when weighed by grams (same with cereal, pasta, etc). Good luck! |
The Lounge | How can this happen? | May 13 2011 18:58 (UTC) |

Just as an aside, most states have a provision to allow you to file for divorce if you dont have the other party's address. A local attorney or other legal advisor (and sometimes the local clerk's office) can advise you further as to the steps necessary. |

I havent personally but do know a handful that have ordered smaller items (less than $1500) from them and as far as I can tell, they have great customer service and a very easy return policy-- as well as very quick service. I might go to a local store and try on some bands for style size and color and such... and then see if you can get a better price on Bluenile.com. (I played around with an engagement ring that I liked, and I could get twice the diamond at a better grade for 2k less). A very odd place to get jewelry but believe it or not, decent quality and great price, is sam's club. I know, weird, huh? |

You use your hands to mimic the sucking action of the infant and manually express it (i.e. express by hand). Also, those of us with larger breasts could probably reach.... |
The Lounge | VERY strange hypothetical question | Mar 24 2011 14:15 (UTC) |

You can manually express it but I think Random is right. It would be a net loss calorically and hydration-wise. The true question would really be who you give it to... (breast milk is somewhere between 15 and 20 calories an oz so even a nice 8 oz bottle isnt going to do you much good.) |

HDNet Movies Presents a Special Sneak Preview of the Film 'MISTER FOE'

In MISTER FOE Hallam Foe (Jamie Bell) is a troubled young man whose knack for voyeurism paradoxically reveals his darkest fears, and his most peculiar desires. Driven to expose the true cause of his mother's death, he instead finds himself searching the rooftops of the city of Edinburgh for love.
Directed and co-written by David Mackenzie, MISTER FOE is a darkly twisted, entertaining work of magical realism from one of the leading lights of new Scottish cinema.

Alas, it's time for the Time Capsule project to come to an end for now. This has been a fun project which has given me a glimpse into the life of my great grandmother Frances Lowe who lived from 1871 to 1964.
I have learned a little more about Frances as a person. Namely that she was a certified school teacher in both her birth state of Colorado and in Montana. Her teacher certificates must have been very important to her, to keep them (and in such good condition!) from the early to mid 1890s until her death in 1964. (Click here and here to see them).
Frances loved to work with her hands and I've been blessed with several of her creations: her crocheted doilies, the hand sewn and beautifully embroidered dress.
Due to Frances' love of her family, I've learned and obtained several genealogically valuable documents. There are the numerous birth announcements of her grandchildren and great grandchildren (they even still are in the envelope they arrived in); original sources containing primary information and direct evidence of birth and parentage. Also the family photos, graduation announcements, letters from friends and family, and the list goes on.
Frances' belongings and these posts are now safely preserved so that hopefully someone in the future can enjoy them too. I imagine the Time Capsule will be revisited from time to time as we learn more about Frances and her family.
Here are links to the other posts in this series as well as a couple of related articles:

Frankie Frisch Biographical Information
Frisch was a switch-hitter batter and threw right-handed. Born in the Bronx, New York City, he began his career after graduating from Fordham University, where he had starred in four sports. It was at Fordham where Frisch earned his nickname "The Fordham Flash."
After graduation, Frisch signed with the New York Giants of the National League, moving directly to the majors in 1919 without playing in the minor leagues. He made an immediate impact, finishing 3rd in the NL in stolen bases and 7th in RBI in 1920, his first full season. Manager John McGraw was so taken with Frisch's attitude that he soon named him team captain, giving him advice in baserunning and hitting. The Giants played Frisch at both third base and second base early in his career, but by 1923 he was installed as the team's full-time second baseman.
Frisch was an excellent hitter, having batted over .300 in his last six seasons with New York. He was also an expert fielder and a skilled baserunner. In 1921, he led the National League with 48 steals, in 1923 in hits, and in 1924 in runs. With Frisch adding his fiery competitiveness to the team, the Giants won the World Series in 1921 and 1922, winning the NL pennant the following two seasons as well.
After the 1926 season, Frisch was traded - with pitcher Jimmy Ring - to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for star Rogers Hornsby. After an August 1926 loss in which Frisch had missed a sign, costing the Giants a run, McGraw had loudly berated Frisch in front of the team; Frisch responded by leaving the team, and his previously close relationship with McGraw was virtually over.
Playing second base for the Cardinals, Frisch appeared in four more World Series (1928-30-31-34), bringing his career total to eight. He was the driving force of the "Gashouse Gang", the nickname for the Cardinals clubs of the early 1930s which were built around him to reflect his no-holds-barred approach. The Cardinals had won only one pennant before Frisch joined the team; the Giants would win the pennant only once in Frisch's nine seasons as the Cards' regular second baseman. Perhaps his most impressive feat in St. Louis was winning over the fans in the wake of the Hornsby trade; his ability to consistently hit over .300, along with his defense and baserunning - both substantially better than Hornsby's - were significant factors in his favor.
Frisch played 11 seasons with the Cardinals. In 1931 he was voted the Most Valuable Player in the National League after batting .311 with 10 home runs and 114 RBI. The 1931 Cardinals also triumphed in the World Series, defeating Connie Mack's defending two-time champion Philadelphia Athletics in seven games.
Frisch became player-manager of the Cardinals in 1933, and was named to the NL's first three All-Star teams from 1933-35. In 1934, he managed the Cardinals to another seven-game World Series victory - this time over the Detroit Tigers.
Frisch finished his playing career in 1937. His career statistics show a .316 batting average, with 2880 hits, 1532 runs, 105 home runs and 1244 RBI. He also stole 419 bases in his 19 playing seasons. His hit total stood as the record for switch-hitters until Pete Rose broke it in 1977.
Frankie Frisch was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1947. After no players had been selected by the writers in the previous two years (the only elections since Hornsby's selection in 1942), the rules were revised to limit eligibility to those players who had retired after 1921; Frisch was among the first four players to benefit from the more reasonable field of candidates.
After retirement, he continued to manage the Cardinals but he was never able to capture another pennant. Frisch also had managerial stints with the Chicago Cubs (1940-46) and Pittsburgh Pirates (1949-51), but without the success he had in St. Louis. Frisch's career ledger as a manager shows a 1138-1078 mark including the sole pennant in 1934.
For a few years in the 1950s, he worked as a radio play-by-play announcer and coach for the Giants. His broadcasting trademark was worrying about pitchers walking batters: "Oh, those bases on balls!" A heart attack in 1956 forced him to curtail his activities. For many years, he lived at 184 Fenimore Road in the Bonnie Crest neighborhood of New Rochelle, New York. He had two hounds named "Flash" and "Patches" who kept him company. Frisch eventually moved to Westerly, Rhode Island, devoting himself mainly to his interests in gardening and classical music.
A number of years after Frisch left the playing field as a manager, he became a member of the Hall of Fame's Committee on Baseball Veterans, which is responsible for electing players to the Hall of Fame who may have been overlooked initial balloting by the Baseball Writers; he later became chairman of this powerful committee. In the years just prior to his death, a number of Frisch's Giants and Cardinals teammates were elected to the Hall; some notable writers, chiefly among them Bill James, have criticized these selections - including Jesse Haines, Dave Bancroft, Chick Hafey, Rube Marquard, Ross Youngs and George Kelly - which include some of the most widely questioned honorees in the Hall's history. Critics have complained that many of these selectees had accomplishments which were less outstanding than those of other players who were bypassed, and were only selected because of Frisch's influence.
Frankie Frisch died in Wilmington, Delaware from injuries suffered from a car accident near Elkton, Maryland one month earlier. He was 74 years old. Frisch had been heading home to Rhode Island from the meeting of the Veterans' Committee in Florida when he lost control of his car. He is interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.
In 1999, he ranked number 88 on The Sporting News' list of the 100 Greatest Baseball Players, and was a nominee for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.

The opening sex scene with Blake Mitchell and Rod Fontana plays well, with a deliberate pace and a feeling of intimacy, but after this promising start the video falls apart like a house of cards. A potentially clever plot is never developed. Ron Jeremy adds some spark, but not enough. The overlong centerpiece, a 27-minute two-couple sequence, taxes the patience of both performers and observers.

By Amanda Peterson Beadle – This article was originally published on the ThinkProgress Justice
President Obama will announce a new immigration policy this morning that will allow some undocumented students to avoid deportation and receive work authorization.
Under the "deferred action" policy, a Department of Homeland Security directive, students in the U.S. who are already in deportation proceedings or those who qualify for the DREAM Act and have yet to come forward to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials, will not be deported and will be allowed to work in the United States.
An estimated 1 million young people could benefit from the deferral. To be eligible, applicants have to be between 15 and 30 years old, live in the U.S. for five years, and maintain continuous U.S. residency. People who have one felony, one serious misdemeanor, or three minor misdemeanors will be ineligible to apply. "Deferred action" will last for two years and can be renewed.
Obama is expected to speak about this new policy later today.
Republicans blocked the DREAM Act in 2010, and this year, House Judiciary Committee Chair Lamar Smith (R-TX) has already said he would not hold a hearing on the DREAM Act in his committee.
Obama's announcement will create a smart policy to help protect young adults at risk of deportation who have spent years establishing their homes in the United States while boosting the U.S. economy.

Ashoka, BS and Seenappa, - and Chandran, AP and Kanakamuthu, - (2011) System Architecture of a 2 kW Variable speed generator test bed. Technical Report. National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, India.
Full text available as:PDF Restricted to CSIR-NAL Registered users only Download (498Kb) | Request a copy |
Apart from quantifying the power curve of a stand alone aero-generator, it is important to characterize the generator. Lab level testing of the generator needs to be carried out to quantify the various losses and evaluating the off-design performance. Therefore, it is necessary to have a versatile test bench to study the generators, indigenously developed at NAL for small wind turbine application. In view of this acute need of a test bench, the design of a Variable Speed Generator Test bed is done. The rating of the generators, that would be tested, is restricted to 2 kW and less.

Quick-Strike Goal Study: 2010-11 Philadelphia Flyers
Thursday, October 21, 2010 -- It's a little after seven o'clock and the majority of fans have taken their seats. Public address announcer Lou Nolan has just asked the crowd if they "ARE YOU READY FOR SOME HOCKEY!?" to which they retort with a raucous response. Philadelphia captain Mike Richards meets Anaheim's newly appointed captain Ryan Getzlaf at center ice for the opening puck drop. As play expands beyond the center ice circle, the fans anxiously await the first chance to shower the home team with a cacophony of cheers.
Then, before any one even has the slightest chance to mention how good rookie goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky had looked up to that point, Lubomir Visnovsky wrists a shot over his right shoulder to give the Ducks a 1-0 lead just 35 seconds into the game.
The quick-strike goal is a polarizing phenomenon; it's that extra bit of energy that your team needed to tie the game or that backbreaking goal late in the third to put the contest just out of reach. Whether they realize it or not, fans of the Philadelphia Flyers had a front row seat to a large amount of quick-strike goals this season. Unfortunately, the majority of them were as crushing as the example above.
For the purposes of this study, a quick-strike goal is defined by three separate characteristics:
- Any goal scored within the first 1:30 of any regulation period
- Any goal scored within 2:30 of a 'goal for' (labeled as 'Consecutive')
- Any goal scored within 2:30 of a 'goal against' (labeled as 'Retaliation')
The goals are separated into 'For' and 'Against' categories to define how many times a team had a quick-strike scored against in addition to how many times they themselves scored one. The total 'For' and 'Against' numbers will be labeled as individual occurrences, but it's important to keep in mind that individual occurrences do not mean individual goals. When a team registers a 'Consecutive' quick-strike goal they are either scoring or allowing two goals within a span of two minutes, where as in the other two categories, the team is only scoring/allowing a single goal. All numbers were based on regulation playing time. Considering that the strategy as well as the amount of men on the ice is different in overtime periods, all overtime statistics have been removed from this study. All numbers are based on regular season performance.
The Flyers allowed the most quick-strike goal occurrences 'Against' of any other team in the league finishing with a total of 68. The Atlanta Thrashers finished in second with 66, the Tampa Bay Lightning in third with 63 and the Colorado Avalanche in fourth with 61.
Nineteen of the occurrences fell into the first category: allowing goals in the first minute-thirty of any period. Four times the team allowed goals at the start of the first period, eight times they allowed goals at the start of the second, and seven times they allowed goals at the start of the third. Their total of 19 tied them with the Chicago Blackhawks for the fourth highest of any team in the league.
Philadelphia allowed consecutive goals to occur on 22 separate occasions, which was the sixth highest total of any team. The number put them in the company of teams like the Tampa Bay Lightning (27), Atlanta Thrashers (26), Toronto Maple Leafs (26) and New York Islanders (23).
The Flyers allowed the majority of their quick-strike goals in the third category, 'Retaliation' goals. On 27 separate occasions the Flyers scored a goal and then allowed a goal within two minutes and thirty seconds of scoring that initial goal. The total is the third highest of any team. By comparison, the Flyers only retaliated in a similar manner 16 times, which ranked them 20th in the league.
While the number is not exact due to the fact that some goals overlap multiple categories, this study came to show that quick-strike goals composed around 41% of all regulation 'Goals Against' for the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010-11; The single highest total of any team in the league. In the Anaheim Ducks example used at the beginning of this article, the Flyers ended up losing the contest 3-2. For a team that ended up one point shy of the top spot in the Eastern Conference, that Visnovsky goal 35 seconds into the first period ended up haunting them further down the line.
To answer why these goals occur is far more difficult than the actual process of locating them on the stat sheet. The team's style of play, the coach's decisions on match-ups, and overall team skill all are plausible explanations; however, there doesn't seem to be any way to truly pin point the main reason why this phenomena occurs. Upon analyzing the numbers of all 30 NHL teams, a trend, not an explanation, began to arise.
The following chart will display the ten teams that allowed the least amount of quick strike goals:
1.) |

9.) |

10.) |
55 |
When comparing the two lists it's evident that the teams grouped together all have a common bond. The teams in the first list all have solid presences in net, while the teams in the second list do not. All the teams in the first list, with the (possible) exception of San Jose and Washington, all have what many would refer to as "elite level" goaltenders occupying their nets. Five of the ten teams in the second list either made or tried to make moves to bring in a new goaltender to strengthen their team. Obviously, Philadelphia had a highly publicized issue with the goaltender position once the playoffs rolled around and if one considers their goalie carousel a move to strengthen their goaltending then they would be the sixth team out of the ten to make a move.
Goaltenders take the brunt of the blame when things go wrong and that's especially true in Philadelphia. There is, of course, a set of six defensemen also in front of the goaltender. Certainly the highly-touted Philadelphia defensive core should be included in the blame for the team leading the league in this dubious honor. But when analyzing the total goals allowed this season, one will find that the Flyers ranked 11th in least amount of total goals 'Against'. That's a whole world away from their bottom of the pile 30th ranked 68 quick-strike goals 'Against'. In addition, teams like Edmonton, Toronto and Carolina all finished the season in the bottom third of goals allowed and did not come close to the number of quick-strike goals allowed by the Flyers.
While it's difficult to determine exactly why or how quick-strike goals occur, there certainly appears to be a direct correlation to the talent level the team has in net to the amount of quick-strike goals they allow. Given that the total number of goals allowed seems to play no factor in a teams final quick-strike number, it's fair to make the argument that the goaltender greatly impacts the quick-strike number. In the case of Philadelphia, their regular season total was very low, but their quick-strike number was very high. As a comparison, the Calgary Flames regular season total was very high, but their quick-strike number was very low, whereas a team like the Boston Bruins had very low totals in both categories. That's something that needs to be taken into account when evaluating why quick-strike goals happen.
Because the study is based solely on a single season, no definitive conclusion can truly be made. But with the Flyers acquisition of Ilya Bryzgalov, there is now a baseline to test the theory at the conclusion of next season. The only fact that can be taken away from this year's study is that the quick-strike goal is a phenomena that occurs on a regular basis, and that the Philadelphia Flyers allowed it to happen more than anyone else in the league.

Mindblown. From the perspective of no stats in front of me, and if I remember back to the season, I can see exactly where these numbers come from. Perhaps you could (subjectively) tie in that they had an attitude about them this year, and thus, the correction. But again, that's just subjectivity. Excellent work. Now you can sit back and relax.
I think it's a safe assessment to say that attitude is involved. The hardest part, as you know, is proving that. From our perspective we watched it first hand and could see that something wasn't right. Ultimately it's probably a combination of things as is anything, but this goaltending trend is definitely something to keep an eye on.
I'd be curious to see when these goals were scored calender-wise. Think you could make a Quick-Strike vs. Time graph?
I'm sorry that I didn't include that in the post. I hope this will do:
October: Seven
November: Nine
December: 11
January: 11
February: 12
March: 13
April: Five
All of these instances are 'Against'
***EDIT: The above instances in this comment are not individual goals; They are occurrences. The above numbers don't include the instances when consecutive goals were scored. Whenever a consecutive instance occurs you need to add two goals rather than one.
Not a problem, I was just wondering if it was worse in the second half when they sucked (which apparently it was).
Stellar work, Matt. Well worth the small forest that had to die for the research.
