Spring is here! In honor of this beautiful season, here's a low-calorie cocktail inspired by Thai flavors that's perfect for this time of year. This drink clocks in at about 90 calories as-is but you can adjust it to your own taste by adding more liquor and more sugar to make it more similar to a classic mojito.… Read more
Hobson's Choice, chose punch as the theme. I really love the way punches bring people together. To me, serving punch means you're celebrating … even if you're only celebrating the fact that it's Wednesday night.
This is a variation on a punch (inspired by this recipe) I figured since it was a great way to ring in the New Year, a little touch of lavender would make it a great way to celebrate the coming … Read more
This St. Patrick's Day we thought it was time for a green cocktail that's a little different.
The little bit of celery juice and mint add a fresh spring flavor and scent. Use your best gin in this one, as the flavor really comes through and the other ingredients are a good compliment to that spirit.
One of the most difficult parts about creating these new drinks is naming them. We had a good laugh … Read more
It's hot right now here in the Bay Area, so I created this cool and refreshing spring cocktail to beat the heat.
Cucumber, cilantro and lime combine to give this drink a mild flavor that makes it great for barbecues, pool parties … or just chilling out.
I have been seeing more bars offer cucumber cocktails, and I say it's about time! You may even want to muddle some cucumbers into the drink. This would … Read more

Rory McCann
this wiki
Rory McCann (born 24 April 1969) is a Scottish actor. He rose to prominence in commercials, followed by a Scottish BAFTA-award winning turn as disabled personal trainer Kenny McLeod in The Book Group. He has since moved into films, putting in notable appearances as General Craterus in Oliver Stone's film Alexander and as Michael 'Lurch' Armstrong in Hot Fuzz. He has also put in appearances in British television dramas State of Play and Shameless. After filming in Iceland for the movie Beowulf & Grendel, McCann relocated there permanently, but was left without work following the economic crisis before he was cast in Thrones.
He stars in HBO's Game of Thrones as Sandor Clegane. He was confirmed in the role on 23 September 2009. He was part of the initial starring cast and remains a member of the starring cast for the second, third and fourth seasons.
Benioff and Weiss missed Rory McCann's audition tape (as they were reviewing hundreds of audition tapes for dozens of characters). George R.R. Martin himself, however, liked McCann's previous work so much that he e-mailed Benioff and Weiss urging them to watch the audition tape, upon which they cast McCann.[1]

Lancaster, CA (Women's Soccer) -- The Citrus College Women's Soccer team continued its hot start on Tuesday afternoon with a strong 3-0 win over Antelope Valley. Freshman Angela Castellanos powered the Lady Owls past AVC with two goals and an assist in the win.
It took a little while for the Lady Owls to get going, but once they did they didn't look back. Castellanos connected with Kelsey Tucker for the first score of the game in the 46th minute. Six minutes later it was Castellanos' turn to score an unassisted goal that gave Citrus a comfortable 2-0 lead. Castellanos would put the game on ice in the 63rd minute when she took a pass for freshman Jasmine Williams and put it in the back of the net to give Citrus their 3-0 advantage.
Citrus will take the field again on Friday at Oxnard College. Kick-off is set for 4:00 PM.

The effects of simple load excursions on fatigue crack growth and crack closure measurements in aluminum alloy 2024-T351 are presented. The crack closure loads were measured local to the crack tip in 6-mm and 14-mm-thick specimens, using an Elbert-type gage for measuring crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD). All specimens were manufactured from a single lot of 15.7-mm-thick plate. Preliminary tests to establish the level of crack closure for a given level of remote constant-am- plitude loading were also undertaken, with consistently different levels of crack opening and closing loads observed. Crack opening and closing stresses obtained from the Elber-type (CTOD) gage, when compared with those from a (global) clip gage, showed identical results for opening stresses, but crack closing stresses were approximately 15% to 20% higher in the CTOD measurements. The results apparently contradict many analytical closure models, which have crack closing stresses lower than crack opening stresses.
Simple overload, underload and over/underload cycles were performed. Differences in the number of post-overload retardation cycles for the two thicknesses, in the single overload test, were obtained. It was found that the 6-mm-thick specimen's fatigue life was two times larger than for the 14-mm-thick specimen. The measured opening stresses were found to be in general agreement with the trends obtained for the fatigue crack growth results. Greater fatigue lives were obtained in the overload tests, with subsequent higher crack opening stresses measured. After a certain number of cycles following an overload, constant-amplitude crack growth rates were restored. However, the crack opening stresses did not return to the preoverload constant-amplitude values, but increased relative to the preoverload constantamplitude crack opening stresses.

Perfect World is an MMORPG that uses "Perfect World Gold" as its in-game currency. Perfect World is developed and published by Beijing Perfect World, and was first released in China in 2005. PW (Perfect World) is a typical MMORPG that takes place in a fantasy world. There are eight different playable races to choose from when creating your character, they are the: Earthguard, Humans, Tideborn, Untamed, and the Winged Elves. There are also 10 character classes to choose from as well, they are the: archer, assassin, barbarian, blademaster, cleric, mystic, psychic, seeker, venomancer, and the wizard. Each of these races and classes have different skill balances and are balanced against each other making party grouping and raiding very fun. PW borrows ideas from many different MMO games and combines them together into this game. For example, there are player mounts that are both on the ground and flying mounts. Unlike other games however, is that you will need to feed your mount like other pets. The mounts also gain levels and grow slightly faster over time. While on a flying mount, called an "Aerogear", it is possible to attack while on the mount.

Heterogeneity of Intellectual Assets
Title: | Heterogeneity of Intellectual Assets |
An Empirically Based Research Method for Identification and Measurement Using Patent Data | |
Author: | Dahlgren, Henrich; Lund Jensen, Rasmus; Valentin, Finn |
Abstract: | This paper deals with methodological issues of assessing the composition and level of heterogeneity of firms' intellectual assets. It develops an original metric - referred to as the H-index - for measuring heterogeneity using data extracted from patent documents. The main purpose is to improve the characterisation of research activities within firms in the biotechnology sector. Although the H-index grew out of research on biotech firms, the metric carries broader relevance for all patent-intensive industries. The measurement and calculation of the H-index is illustrated using some empirical examples from our preliminary study on Scandinavian biotech firms. |

I like it for either a boy or a girl. I am a bit deterred by that the fact it's so associated with Brangelina, but I don't think that it makes the name unususable. There is a male actor, Shiloh Fernandez, who has been in a few things lately, so perhaps if he becomes more famous the name will be less tied to Brangelina.

Actually, the dog was a boy (though I believe the dog that played Shiloh in the film was a female). I read the book as a kid when it first came out and because of that association, I always have a hard time picturing the name on a person instead of an animal. If someone were to use it on their child though, I would assume they were using it on a boy since (probably because of the book) I think of Shiloh as a male name.

Remember Me
Aug. 30--ALBANY -- A pall hangs over the housing units of the Seasons Christian Care Center at 2724 Ledo Road these days. For the 100 or so elderly residents of the gated retirement community, uncertainty and dread have replaced the tranquility and joy they sought when they bought into the concept of the 148-unit Christian-based village.
Beset by financial woes that ran into the millions of dollars, Seasons Christian was part of a bankruptcy auction sought by Lamad Ministries, the controlling arm of the retirement neighborhood, and its principles, William and Eric Eidenire, to stave off mounting debt.
Now the residents, many of them in their 80s and 90s and out tens of thousands of dollars in loans and ministry deposits made with the promise of timely repayment, await word of their future at Seasons Christian. Entrepreneur Mike Bowden paid $3.905 million for the 148 housing units and has indicated he wants to renovate them and rent them at market rate. He reportedly will give current residents first opportunity to occupy the apartments.
"Mr. Bowden has said he'd like for everyone who's currently living in those units to stay there," Albany attorney Patrick Flynn, who represented a Seasons Christian "Unsecured Creditors Committee" during the Lamad bankruptcy proceedings, said. "I can't speak for all the residents, but I know a lot of them want to stay. Some of them have been at Seasons Christian for quite a while and are comfortable there. Plus, frankly, a lot of them are too old to move.
"It's really sad how this turned out for some of our most vulnerable citizens. It doesn't take a law degree to know people were done wrong here."
Eidenire left his position as an assistant pastor at Sherwood Baptist Church with a dream of building a Christian-based retirement community for a rapidly growing senior population.
"I participated in a lot in senior activities (at Sherwood), and they kept telling me they needed a place to go," Eidenire said in a 2007 interview with The Albany Herald. "Then I actually went to their homes, and those homes were deteriorating. They were living in one or two rooms in a three- or four-bedroom house."
So, Eidenire pitched his idea of a senior Christian retirement village to a group of investors and board members who facilitated the purchase of property on which to build the pastor's dream. Construction started on the first phase of what would become Seasons Christian on Nov. 25, 1989. By June of 1990, 16 units -- built for $1.099 milion -- were ready for occupancy.
"The business plan (Eidenire) put in place worked for about 20 years," Albany attorney Walter Kelley, appointed as Lamad's corporate lawyer during the recent bankruptcy proceedings, said. "But they ran into a perfect financial storm a few years back. The housing market crashed, the housing units had aged and were in need of repair, and there just wasn't a large enough market of potential buyers. Plus, management had paid a lot of money to defend themselves against claims by residents, and the bad publicity from those episodes hurt marketing efforts."
The business model Kelley spoke of initially called for residents to pay "ministry deposits" equal to half the value of the housing units. Six hundred-square-foot single bedroom units were valued at $35,000 and 1,050-square-foot two-bedroom units at $60,000. Monthly "living expense" payments were calculated based on the balance owed on the units.
The agreement signed by residents, though, stipulated that fees were 100 percent refundable in the event that residents moved or to their estate if they died.
During discovery meetings with Eidenire, Kelley said the man affectionately known by Seasons Christian residents as "Brother Bill" told him Lamad had returned more than $3 million in deposits for remarketed housing units.
But around 2006, just before the worldwide recession came crashing down, residents started to complain about rising costs and shoddy maintenance. Led by World War II veteran Sam Spivey, a group of residents initially balked at paying maintenance fees when they were doubled from $200 to $400. The residents were also concerned that Eidenire, now joined in the venture by his son Eric, had sold an adjacent section of land along Ledo Road that became a strip mall.
"I only know what (Eidenire) told me, and he said he sold the land for the strip mall for $800,000 to pay off debt," Kelley said.
Starting in 2007, Spivey and other residents filed complaints with the Department of Labor, the state insurance commissioner's office and the fire marshal. The resulting publicity and attorneys' costs pushed Lamad and the Eidenires deeper into debt.
"William Eidenire had an interest in us at one time, but now this place is nothing but a business to him and his family," resident Eugene Armstrong told The Herald in January 2007.
Later that year, Spivey was arrested for trespassing, and by the end of the year dispossessory action was taken against the then-82-year-old for some $5,400 in fees that Seasons Christian officials said Spivey owed.
Not all residents supported Spivey's and others' efforts to discredit the Eidenires.
"My mother actually liked living there; she was convinced that it was one of the best options for her," David Clark, an Albany native who is now a clinical psychologist just outside St. Louis, said of his mother, Martha Clark. "Now that she's gone, I don't think she would have minded so much the unpaid ministry deposit. I think she kind of looked on it as a contribution.
"I pointed out to her that her contract called for 85 percent of the money she'd paid in deposits (which in total surpassed $150,000) was to be returned to her if her unit was sold, but it was never sold. There was really no talking to her about it anyway. And while I admit that I didn't go over the paperwork in great detail, it initially struck me as not that bad a deal."
But Clark said his opinion changed when he sought repayment of a $42,000 ministry deposit made by his mother.
"That was written up as a two-year loan that came due in 2007," David Clark said. "I asked for the money, and they asked if I would wait another six months. At the end of that six months, they kept putting me off and finally told me they couldn't repay the loan. I've never been able to quite figure out if they were thieves or fools. In the end, it hurt my mom to know I would be out $150,000 of my inheritance for, at minimum, incompetence."
While the accepted version of the Lamad Ministries/Seasons Christian decline is built around catastrophic financial factors and possible management issues, there are those who say William Eidenire's plans to build an Oral Roberts-like Christian-based empire was his undoing.
One former employee, who asked that his name not be used in this article, said Eidenire had "delusions of grandeur" when it came to his plans for his ministry.
"Brother Bill talked with me about a 'media empire' he planned to build around his ministry," the former employee said. "He said he planned to have two TV stations, two or three radio stations, to publish a magazine and a weekly newspaper, and he planned to build a huge prayer chapel.
"I thought all that was well beyond his reach, but he spoke with all the confidence of a man who planned to pull it off. If you talked with him long enough, it was easy to believe that he could make it happen. In reality, though, it was nothing but delusions of grandeur. He thought he was going to be the next Jim Bakker or Oral Roberts."
Nonette Johnson, who worked as office manager at Seasons Christian for 19 years, found herself caught between her loyalty to the Eidenire family and the residents who often confided in her as the retirement center's finances started to unravel.
"I understand that the residents see this from their personal perspective, but multiple things brought this on," Johnson said of Seasons Christian's downfall. "It's not entirely management's fault. The actions of some of the residents played a big part in this.
"It's a sad thing for everyone involved. What's really sad is that Seasons Christian will not continue to be a Christian ministry. That doesn't mean, though, that it can't still be a Christian community. I believe I'm still here because God has a purpose for me here."
What that purpose might be will depend on the new owner. Certainly the element of determining pro rata shares of unsecured claims against Seasons Christian will be an important part of the community's business future. After a little more than $3 million in secured debt is paid off, a liquidating agent will determine how much of the roughly $1.1 million left from the bankruptcy auction will go to residents and estates that filed unsecured claims against Seasons Christian.
Kelley said residents can expect from 4 percent to 8 percent of the amounts of the roughly 160 claims made against the ministry seeking repayment of deposits and loans, many of which surpassed $100,000. Flynn said he expects the return to be "somewhere around 9 percent." The claims total slightly less than $9.7 million.
"Some of them will, I believe, be denied," Kelley said. "It's not my decision to make, but I can't imagine that Sam Spivey would be reimbursed for legal fees he's trying to claim. And some of the claims ... well, you can see for yourself."
Among the claims is one for $151,000 filed by Eidenire himself and another for $24,550 filed in his name. There is also a claim for $63,637.29 filed by former Dougherty County District Attorney Ken Hodges for legal fees.
While many among the current Seasons Christian residents await court action and news from the community's new owner to determine their future, more than a few are angry. One said at a recent meeting, "The Eidenires -- or at least Brother Bill -- used to care for us. Then it started being about the money."
Clark laments his lost inheritance, but he is more angry over an assessment shared by family members of many other residents: that his mother was taken advantage of.
"These people hurt my mother," the psychologist said. "They betrayed her. The religious part of this whole thing was, I believe, a farce. There wasn't a ...damned thing religious about that place. It was an apartment complex."

Morrow Wildflower, is it worth buying?
I'm trying to take advantage of evo's outlet store $100 off an order over $350. There are some boots and goggles I want and I was thinking of getting a board for my gf. She's only been once and she did pretty well. I was looking at the Morrow Wildflower, they're selling it for $88. Would this be worth getting?

first board i had ever ridden was a morrow a friend lent me... dont even know the model.. honestly it did fine for learning and growing into the feel of different styles... helped me decide which board i wanted when i got serious about progressing in specific areas... i doubt i wouldve noticed the difference between that or burton custom x/vapor/w.e. at that point... it was def a stiffer board though
edit: id also like to note that the board never gave me any problems..even took beatings from my premature rail attempts... had a good relationship with trees and signs as well if ya know what i mean ahhh learning was fun... and much less painful screwing up back in the day... as opposed to now. lol Last edited by 51bombed; 01-07-2011 at 08:38 PM. |

That's the same board I used last season and it's still in good shape. I'm planning on using it as my rock board this year. The board itself was stable and easy to learn on. I'd go for it, it's definitely not a bad board!

text: Again, I'm not saying that regressions don't happen in windows or osx. They do happen. Your regression that you are referring to with the XP to Vista is understandable. That was a major overhaul of the OS akin to a Linux 2.4 to Linux 2.6 upgrade of which a lot of stuff was broken in those early 2.6 kernels that worked fine in 2.4. A Win2k to XP upgrade was far less eventful as they for the most part were the same. Windows and OS X do many upgrades to their kernels through the products lifespan. Most of which do not result in breaking core functionality. The same cannot be said even on point releases on linux. This is what the video is more or less referring too. Even though for example Ubuntu 9.04 is what they consider a "major" upgrade the changes to it are relatively small then say a OS X 10.3 to 10.4 release or a XP to Vista release. I often think that linux would be much improved if they decided to draw the line somewhere as to what legacy hardware it supports. I'm not saying completely cut off that hardware from linux use but maybe have a legacy branch of the hardware (seriously do we really need ISA and support for products that have not been made for a better part of a decade in the mainline? Think how much easier maintenance would be without all that legacy code to worry about in the latest release ).

Chemical analysis of ceramic vessels thought to have been used for making cheese 7,500 years ago has revealed molecular traces of milk fats. Peter Bogucki of Princeton University thought that the pots, which were found in northern Poland and are covered with holes, served to strain milk collected by early herders, but he needed proof. "This is the first and only evidence of [Neolithic] cheese-making in the archaeological record," said chemist Richard Evershed, who contributed to the project. Cheese is lower in lactose than fresh milk, and was therefore more digestible for Neolithic people, who were unable to digest lactose past childhood.
Cattle skulls and cauldrons indicate feasting was an important activity in southern England during the Iron Age. The 13 sturdy, decorative cauldrons are the largest group of such vessels ever to have been found in Europe. They had been buried together in a pit in an open area near a castle and a fort, which would have been an excellent meeting place. "Analysis of the interiors of the cauldrons has even revealed traces of animal fats, a tantalizing suggestion that these objects might have been used in cooking and serving meat-rich stews," said Julia Farley of the British Museum. DNA testing could reveal what kind of meat had been cooked and served.
Chris Stringer and a team of researchers from London's National History Museum want to solve the mystery behind the Piltdown Man hoax. Charles Dawson, an amateur fossil hunter, is the prime suspect in the case. He claimed to have found the notorious, human-like skull fragments and the jaw pieces, which probably came from a young orangutan, and dubbed them the "missing link" between humans and apes. Other suspects include a museum curator, a Jesuit priest, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Scientists proved the skull pieces to be fakes in the early 1950s, but Stringer and his team will use modern techniques that may eventually point to a culprit.
In southern central Vietnam, archaeologists have found two walls near one of the Po Tam Towers, constructed by the Cham people in the eighth century. The brick walls are supported by a stone foundation. "Before, we thought the six towers in this area were different from others because their main gates face south instead of east like all the other Cham towers we've found in Viet Nam. This discovery led us to conclude that this is the main tower in the site," said Le Dinh Phung of the Vietnam Archaeology Association.
Human bone fragments and iron coffin handles were unearthed within Sri Lanka's Galle Fort World Heritage City. Archaeologists think the remains date to the period of Dutch colonial rule. The land had been set aside as a cemetery under Portuguese rule in the sixteenth century and was taken over by the Dutch in the seventeenth century. The excavations should shed light on foreign rule in Sri Lanka.

Psychological Medicine, 38 (12). pp. 1701-1715. ISSN 0033-2917
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Background. Numerous studies have reported high rates of psychosis in the Black Caribbean population in the UK. Recent speculation about the reasons for these high rates has focused on social factors. However, there have been few empirical Studies. We sought to compare the prevalence of specific indicators of social disadvantage and isolation, and variations by ethnicity, in subjects with a first episode of psychosis and a series of healthy controls. Method. All cases with a first episode of psychosis who made contact with psychiatric services in defined catchment areas in London and Nottingham, UK and a series of community controls were recruited over a 3-year period. Data g to clinical and social variables were collected from cases and controls. Results. On all indicators, cases were more socially, disadvantaged and isolated than controls, after controlling for potential confounders. These associations held when the sample was restricted to those with in affective diagnosis and to those with a short prodrome and short duration Of untreated psychosis. There was a clear linear relationship between concentrated disadvantage and odds of psychosis. Similar patterns were evident in the two main ethnic groups, White British and Black Caribbean. However, indicators of social disadvantage and isolation were more common in Black Caribbean Subjects than White British subjects. Conclusions. We found strong associations between indicators of disadvantage and psychosis. If these variables index exposure to factors that increase risk of psychosis, their greater prevalence in the Black Caribbean Population may contribute to the reported high rates of psychosis in this population.

OSU gets $1.1M from DOE for more nuclear research
- Christina Williams
- Sustainable Business Oregon editor- Portland Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Secretary of Energy Steven Chu announced Tuesday a wide-ranging $47 million program for funding nuclear energy research at 46 universities and colleges across the country.
Oregon State University, the birthplace of small modular nuclear reactor startup NuScale Power LLC, will collect $1.1 million for research and development infrastructure.
The program also supports research fellowships and scholarships for undergraduate students studying nuclear energy.
OSU has focused its research the development and testing of so-called passive safety nuclear energy concepts and new types of small reactors in a modular format that officials are eyeing as holding potential for the future.
"Small modular reactors are exciting for a number of reasons," said Daniel Poneman, deputy secretary of energy in a press release. "They have safety and non-proliferation advantages, could be used in smaller communities, and you could punch them out in a standardized manner. Only time will tell, but their flexibility in cost and deployment is very promising."
OSU will use the DOE funding to upgrade its research reactor and add other science tools for the
Department of Nuclear Engineering and Radiation Health Physics.

For 50 years, Moore's Law has served as a guide for technologists everywhere in the world, setting the pace for the semiconductor industry's innovation cycle. Moore's Law has made a tremendous impact not only on the electronics industry, but on our world and our everyday life. It led us from the infancy of the PC era, through the formative years of the internet, to the adolescence of smartphones. Now, with the rise of the Internet of Things, market researchers forecast that in the next 5 years, the number of connected devices per person will more than double, so even after 50 years we don't see Moore's Law slowing down.
As chipmakers work tirelessly to continue device scaling, they are encountering daunting technical and economic hurdles. Increasing complexity is driving the need for new materials and new device architectures. Enabling these innovations and the node-over-node success of Moore's Law requires advancements in precision materials engineering, including precision films, materials removal, materials modification and interface engineering, supported by metrology and inspection.
Though scaling is getting harder, I am confident Moore's Law will continue because equipment suppliers and chipmakers never cease to innovate.

PricewaterhouseCoopers recently released a report that attempts to provide a "holistic view" of the so-called sharing economy, including how it is unfolding "across both business and consumer landscapes." While an exact definition of the "sharing economy" can be hard to pin down, it generally refers to the concept of using information technology to allow consumers to rent or borrow goods, especially those that are underutilized, rather than buy and own them. Undoubtedly, the sharing economy is an important and innovative approach to commerce, especially having given rise to wildly popular services such as Airbnb and Lyft. More broadly, the sharing economy can boost economic welfare by allowing the economy to more efficiently utilize goods and services.
Given all this, we certainly need thorough analysis of the sharing economy to fully grasp its potential. Yet PwC's report errs badly in at least one important respect: It conflates unlawful sharing of digital media with legitimate peer-to-peer activities.
With regards to the challenges of the sharing economy in digital media, PwC writes:
"The ambiguity of the sharing economy is particularly evident in entertainment and media, where consumers are open to 'sharing'
Innovation is frequently underemphasized in the economics literature because it is qualitative by nature, and qualitative changes are hard to measure. A new NBER paper by three economists, Lakdawalla, Reif, and Malani, makes some progress toward a better measure of innovation, specifically innovation in health care. They show that by ignoring the way medical innovations help reduce risk, previous studies have tended to underestimate the true value of medical innovations—by as much as 30-80%.
To arrive at their estimates the authors use a new way of valuing risk. Our health is inherently risky, which is why we have health insurance for smoothing expenses out over time and between people. Innovation is also risky, which is why investors in startups often expect high returns and we often look to the government to fund basic research. But Lakdawalla, Reif, and Malani show that risks don't always add up—sometimes they cancel out. Risks taken to innovate and create new health products and treatments can reduce health risks for people, because new innovations help keep us safer and healthier.
When risks taken in health innovation pay off, the reward they bring isn't just the
This article was originally published in The Huffington Post. It is co-authored by Val Giddings and Jon Entine
Recently on the Huffington Post we came across a disturbing article – an attack by Jeffrey Smith on two respected university professors who apply a critical eye to the claims made by various advocates alleging dangers to human health linked to genetically modified organisms (GMOs.)
Smith, if you are not familiar with him, heads up a one-man band rabidly anti-GMO organization known as the Institute for Responsible Technology–he and his organization are controversial to say the least, but more on that later.
The subject of the attack piece was co-written by University of Illinois emeritus professor Bruce Chassy and University of Melbourne geneticist David Tribe. It appears on the website of AcademicsReview, an independent non-profit set up by the scholars to address the maelstrom of misinformation that passes for debate on the GMO issue. In one of their most pointed and heavily circulated critiques, Chassy and Tribe examine one of Smith's two self-published books that supposedly 'prove' that GMO foods are reckless and dangerous.
Chassy and Tribe's critique titled "Yogic Flying
Earlier this week the Center for Public Integrity (CPI) published what purports to be an investigative look at broadband competition, speed, and prices, concluding that "U.S. Internet users pay more and have fewer choices than Europeans." This is a common myth that we at ITIF have long worked to dispel, but apparently some myths die hard.
CPI duplicates the usual argument made in this space, attempting to compare a handful of French and U.S. cities, claiming that because French cities offer more broadband "choices," they have lower price, and higher adoption. CPI suggests that the supposed success demonstrated in their "snapshot" should push us to emulate France's open access policies. There are a number of problems with this picture.
CPI compares a set of advertised broadband rates in a handful of French cities to American cities. Let's start by pulling back a bit and looking at country-wide data. If you are going to opine on national policy direction, it's worthwhile to at least take a passing glance on the statistics at a national level, instead of comparing five French cities with five American ones.

In the vanguard of the new steakhouse movement, Dylan Prime may be the most effective cholesterol delivery system ever devised by man. Except the chef is a woman. In a nation where the response to increased pollution and stretched natural resources is the gas-guzzling SUV, why wonder at a restaurant bent on obliterating nutritional common sense? But excessive or not, some of the food is quite good, especially if you dodge the showy innovations and stick to steakhouse standards.
Dylan Prime occupies a broad room once claimed by a cigar-themed eatery. The row of booths next to the glassed-in wine cellar is the most dramatic, barely illuminated by inverted yellow tulips hanging on long cords like drops of molten butter. The friendly staff urges every rich indulgence on the diners, including an array of $2 butter-bearing sauces poured from little white ceramic pitchers, and chapeaux ($3)thick coatings annealed to the surface of the meat, the best featuring blue cheese, shallots, and chives. Even bareheaded, the 18-ounce Kansas City strip ($28) is a thing of wonder, perfectly aged to an almost crumbly texture, and charcoal-seared on both sides. Don't bother ordering it cooked beyond rarebecause rare is what you get. The truffled beurre blanc we ordered with it was an insult to this world-class steak, though quite tasty when poured over the mashed potatoes.
The smaller New York strip ($26) possesses the same rich flavor as the Kansas City, but you might want to deploy a chapeau on the 28-ounce porterhouse (a special, $48), which was tough on the sirloin side while the tenderloin was butter-tender, though totally lacking in flavor. The bone accounts for too much of the weight of this behemoth, anyway. The rib eye also bombed, so fatty and gristly that we refused to take the uneaten half home. There's also a modest selection of steak alternativeslobster, veal chop, and lamb rackwhich no one seemed to be eating on our visits.
Among sides, too, high fat content seems proportionate to desirability. Favorites ($6 each) were a doctrinaire mac-and-cheese with a nicely browned crust, mashed potatoes predictably laced with plenty of butter, and french fries. Even though dabbed with crème fraîche, the minted peas were a disappointment, as was the small and tough artichoke parmesan. And though the allegedly "old fashioned" sundae was made with coffee ice cream, it did the trick, topped with crunchy glazed walnuts and plenty of chocolate sauce. If you're counting calories, scrape off the whipped cream.

Act One: Equal Rights
2013 International Student Travel Video Contest Entry
Video Details
Title: | Act One: Equal Rights | Author: | Liner Nunez |
Year: | 2013 | Duration: | 4:53 |
Morocco, a modern Muslim country with its relatively lax censorship system, will permit people to gain a new perspective by allowing them to not only learn about the country through a class but by actually being there. It would be an amazing opportunity to stay with and learn from the men and women of Morocco to work towards a common goal: to promote gender equality and women empowerment. It will be fulfilling to see men, women, and my fellow John Jay College students learn about this subject and to see what is going on in another country besides our own. "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page," says St. Augustine and if our lives are also books, we write and create chapters with the experiences we acquire and I know that the study abroad program to Morocco will make contributions not only to my education but also my personal life. |

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc. is an American global doughnut company and coffeehouse chain based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Krispy Kreme founder Vernon Rudolph bought a yeast-raised recipe from a New Orleans chef, rented a building in what is now historic Old Salem in Winston-Salem, NC, and began selling to local grocery stores.[4]
Products are sold in Krispy Kreme stores, grocery stores, convenience stores, gas stations, Wal-Mart, Target and Shaws stores in the United States. Internationally, doughnuts are sold in Loblaws supermarkets, Petro-Canada gas stations[citation needed], and as freestanding stores in Canada, along with BP Service Stations and BP Travel Centres and 7-Eleven stores in Australia.[5] In the United Kingdom, Tesco supermarkets, Tesco Extra, and most Tesco service stations carry Krispy Kreme products. Service stations Moto, Welcome Break & Road Chef also carry self-service cabinets.[6] The company's growth was steady prior to its initial public offering but profits have decreased in recent quarters.
On February 24, 2015, Krispy Kreme opened its 1,000th shop in Kansas City, Kansas. The first customer received one dozen of free donuts per week for a year.

In 1933, eighteen-year-old Vernon Rudolph began working for his uncle, Ishmael Armstrong, who owned a small general store in Paducah, Kentucky that sold a wide variety of goods, including its very popular doughnuts.[7] While the exact origin of the doughnut recipe remains partially a mystery, it is believed that Ishmael Armstrong was inspired by an Ohio River barge cook named Joseph LeBeouf who was famous for his light and fluffy doughnuts.[7]
The store struggled during the Great Depression, so in 1934 Vernon and Ishmael decided to move to the larger city of Nashville, Tennessee where they hoped business would be better. The uncle and nephew focused solely on selling their doughnuts and opened "The Krispy Kreme Doughnut Company" in a rented store on Gallatin Road.[7] The shop did so well that Vernon's father, Plumie, also left Kentucky and moved to Nashville to help sell doughnuts.
In 1937, Vernon Rudolph opened his own store, deciding on Winston-Salem, North Carolina for the location when he learned that his favorite cigarette company, Camel Cigarettes, was headquartered in the small North Carolina city.[7] Rudolph primarily sold to convenience stores, however, he also sold hot doughnuts to individual customers who came during production time between midnight and 4am.[7] The first store in North Carolina was located in a rented building on South Main Street in Winston-Salem in what is now called historic Old Salem. The Krispy Kreme logo was designed by Benny Dinkins, a local architect. The first Krispy Kreme bakery outside the South opened in Akron, Ohio, in 1939.
Expansion occurred in the 1950s, including an early store in Savannah, Georgia. By the 1960s, Krispy Kreme was known throughout the Southeast, and it began to expand into other areas. In 1976, Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation became a wholly owned subsidiary of Beatrice Foods of Chicago, Illinois. The headquarters for Krispy Kreme remained in Winston-Salem.
A group of franchisees purchased the corporation back from Beatrice Foods in 1982.
Krispy Kreme began another phase of rapid expansion in the 1990s, opening stores outside the southeastern United States where most of their stores were located. Then, in December 2001, Krispy Kreme opened its first store outside the U.S. in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, just outside Toronto.[8] Since 2004, Krispy Kreme has rapidly expanded its international operations, now including almost 100 stores in Mexico alone.[9]
In September 25, 2013, Krispy Kreme announced their expansion into Colombia, the first South American country that Krispy Kreme will have presence at.[10]
IPO and accounting scandals[edit]
On April 5, 2000, the corporation went public on the NASDAQ at $21 using the ticker symbol KREM.[11] On May 17, 2001, Krispy Kreme switched to the New York Stock Exchange, with the ticker symbol KKD, which is its current symbol. The stock reached what would be its all-time high of $50 on the New York Stock Exchange in August 2003, a gain of 235 percent from its IPO price. For the fiscal year ending in February 2004, the company reported sales of $665.6 million and operating profits of $94.7 million from almost 400 stores (including international locations). The market initially considered the company as having "solid fundamentals, adding stores at a rapid clip and showing steadily increasing sales and earnings." [12] Since then it had lost 75-80% of its value by 2005, amid earnings declines, as well as an SEC investigation over the company's alleged improper accounting practices.[13]
In May 2004, the company missed quarterly estimates for the first time and suffered its first loss as a public company. Chairman and CEO Scott Livengood attributed the poor results to the low-carbohydrate diet craze. This explanation was viewed with skepticism by analysts, as "blaming the Atkins diet for disappointing earnings carried a whiff of desperation",[12] and as rival donut chain Dunkin' Donuts has not suffered from the low-carb trend over the same compared period.[14]
Analysts suggested that Livengood had expanded the chain too rapidly after the IPO, which concentrated certain markets with too many stores.[14] While this approach initially grew revenues and profits at the parent-company level, due to royalty payments from new franchisees, which also increased sales, this reduced the profitability of individual franchisees in the long run as they were forced to compete with one another. For the 2003-04 fiscal year, while the parent enjoyed a 15 percent increase in second-quarter revenues, same-store sales increased only a tenth of a percent during that time. By contrast, McDonald's focused on profitability at the franchise level. Krispy Kreme also had supermarkets and gas stations carry their donuts, which soon contributed up to half of the chain's sales, creating further market saturation as well as increasing competition to its franchisees. All this expansion devalued Krispy Kreme brand's novelty, by making the once-specialty donuts ubiquitous, particularly as the newer sales outlets required pre-made donuts as opposed to the ones made fresh in factory stores, which alienated brand devotees.[12]
Besides royalty payments from new stores, the parent company also enjoyed significant profits by requiring franchisees to purchase mix and doughnut-making equipment from the parent's Krispy Kreme Manufacturing and Distribution (KKM&D) division. KKM&D earned $152.7 million in 2003, which made up 31 percent of sales, with a reported operating margin of 20 percent or higher, but these mark-ups were largely at the expense of its franchisees. By comparison, rival chain Dunkin' Donuts generally avoids selling equipment or materials to its franchisees which "keeps company and franchisee interests aligned", as well as having a royalty stream based on same-store sales.[12]
Krispy Kreme has been accused of channel stuffing by franchisees, whose stores reportedly "received twice their regular shipments in the final weeks of a quarter so that headquarters could make its numbers".[12] The company was also dogged by questionable transactions and self-dealing accusations over the buybacks of franchisees, including those operated by company insiders.[14] A report released in August 2005 singled out then-CEO Scott Livengood and then-COO John W. Tate to blame for the accounting scandals although it did not find that the executives committed intentional fraud.[15]
On March 4, 2009 the SEC issued a cease and desist order against Krispy Kreme for its actions inflating their revenues and engaging in illicit activities regarding the purchasing of its own stores to prop up revenues and setting up mechanisms to guarantee it beat earnings estimates by $0.01 which eventually resulted in Krispy Kreme reducing net income over 2 years of over $10.5 million. In it, it proposed remedial actions for Krispy Kreme to take.[16]
Management shuffle[edit]
On January 18, 2005, Krispy Kreme announced Stephen Cooper, chairman of financial consulting group Kroll Zolfo Cooper LLC, as interim CEO, succeeding Scott Livengood who retired as chairman, president, CEO and a director. The company also named Steven Panagos, a managing director of Kroll Zolfo, as president and COO.[17]
A turnaround plan in December 2005 aimed to close unprofitable stores in order to avoid bankruptcy.[12][18]
New offerings and changes[edit]
In 2003, a pilot project in Mountain View, California, to sell doughnuts through car windows and sunroofs at a busy intersection (with wireless payment) failed.
Although based on informal advertising such as word-of-mouth, in 2006, Krispy Kreme moved into television and radio advertisements, beginning with its "Share the Love" campaign with heart-shaped doughnuts.[19]
On February 19, 2007, Krispy Kreme began selling the Whole Wheat Glazed doughnut in an attempt to appeal to the health conscious. The doughnut has 84 kJ (20 kilocalories in most countries, or 20 Calories in the US) fewer than the original glazed (754 kJ vs. 837 kJ) and contains more fiber (2 grams vs. 0.5 grams). As of January 2008, the trans fat content of all Krispy Kreme doughnuts was reduced to 0.5 of a gram or less. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, in its guidelines, allows companies to round down to 0 g in its nutrition facts label even if the food contains as much as 0.5 of a gram per serving. Krispy Kreme benefited from this regulatory rule in its subsequent advertising campaign, touting its doughnuts as "trans fat free" and having "0 grams trans fat!".[20]
On July 1, 2010, Krispy Kreme introduced a doughnut that included the soft drink Cheerwine, which was to be sold in grocery stores in North and South Carolina during July.[21] The doughnuts proved so popular, the Salisbury, North Carolina Krispy Kreme location (the town where Cheerwine is made), sold them as well.[22] After July 31, this was the only place to get them.[23] The Cheerwine Kreme doughnut returned for July 2011 and made its debut in Tennessee and Roanoke, Virginia.[24]
Also in 2010, Krispy Kreme Express, a delivery service for businesses, began testing at the Battleground Avenue location in Greensboro, North Carolina.[25]
In the early 2010s, the company begin developing shops with tunnel ovens, which allow for an all day "Hot Now" hot donut experience.
On February 24, 2015, Krispy Kreme opened its 1,000 shop, in Kansas City, Kansas. The first customer received one free dozen of donuts per week, for a year.
International operations[edit]
The first Krispy Kreme store to open outside North America was in Penrith, Australia, in Sydney.[26] At first the operation was successful, opening 53 other stores around the country.[27][unreliable source?] However as of November 1, 2010 the entire Australian division went into voluntary administration, with media reports attributing this to poor sales.[28] They have since come out of administration as of December 2010, and continued trading, with fewer stores.[citation needed] Since 2012, Krispy Kreme doughnuts have been available through all 7-Eleven stores in the eastern states of Australia after announcing partnership with Krispy Kreme Australia in late 2011.[29] Besides the stores that Krispy Kreme operate in the United States and Canada, there are also locations in the United Kingdom, Australia, Lebanon, Turkey, Dominican Republic, Kuwait, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan, China, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain[30] Hong Kong (2006–2008), and Ethiopia.[citation needed]
In August 2011, Krispy Kreme's Japan operation planned to increase the number of stores from 21 to 94, and its Mexico operation announced the number of stores would increase from 58 to 128 in five years. In the United Kingdom, Krispy Kreme continues its expansion and had plans and funding in place to open further stores in 2012.
Krispy Kreme opened its first store in India on 19 January 2013 in Bangalore, Karnataka. The stores are operated by Citymax Hotels India under a franchise arrangement.[31] So far, there are 5 stores opened in Bangalore, with two more in development.
On July 23, 2014, Krispy Kreme has launched its first shop in Chennai, India at Express Avenue mall.[32]
On September 25, 2013, Krispy Kreme announced the opening of 25 stores, all within 5 years, in Colombia. This marks the first South American country for the company.[10]
On December 12, 2013, Krispy Kreme opened its first store in Taipei, Taiwan.
On October 10, 2014, Krispy Kreme opened another store at HSR Layout in Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
On November 26, 2014, Krispy Kreme opened their first store in Western Australia with a new store opening in Whitfords, Perth. The store offers a 24/7 drive-thru.

Nordkapp Cruise Review by Lynn: NOT A LUXURY CRUISE-despite luxury price tag

NOT A LUXURY CRUISE-despite luxury price tag
It was our HONEY-MOON, we spent a lot of money and were expecting luxury.
We were VERY dissapointed.
Firstly, we were NOT given anything complimentary for the occasion of our honeymoon, no upgrade, no wine, no toiletries, not even told congratulations.
Secondly, we had told everyone possible in the booking procedure that we were VEGETARIAN, but this did not make much difference to the staff. The meals were BORING and unimaginative. the staff and chefs just didnt get concept of vegetarianism! The explanation we were given was that they were reliant on the ingredients that they were given in ports, but the with the amount of food at the buffet each day- there was cerainly the ingredients to make some lovely dishes. The chef was just ignorant and unimaginative. We even had to give ideas to the chef ourselves!!
The events on board also excluded vegetarians as they had no alternatives in place for such things like fishcakes on deck.
Evening More
drinks were not inclusive, nor was coffee/tea outside of buffet meals. and if you did want to drink between meals it was RIDICULSLY expensive!
When we sent a letter of complaint when we had got home, hurtigruten's response was that "WE ARE NOT A CRUISE COMPANY" ...So why do they enter the cruise international awards?
In short this is NOT A LUXURY CRUISE, even though it has a luxury price tag. It is a mode of transport up the norway coastline. It's only the activities that you do on land that make the trip special. Less

As a nation, our healthcare costs have been rapidly rising and at the same time issues around millions of uninsured, poor quality and unsafe healthcare practices abound. It has been a decade since the Institute of Medicine's, "To Err is Human Report" declared that as a result of medical and medication errors approximately 44,000 to 98,000 Americans die or are injured as a result of medical errors. Although there have been many improvements with patient safety and healthcare quality initiatives, driven both by the government as well as the private sector, it is apparent from multiple studies that much remains to be done. With the passage of the Stimulus Bill (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) and the Healthcare Reform Bill (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) many legislative and regulatory changes will look to address the issues of healthcare access and coverage, patient safety, quality of care and escalating costs. This course will look at patient safety, healthcare quality and risk management in terms of how these issues impact the delivery of health care in various settings as well as what is being done by the various stakeholders involved to make needed improvements.
