Refrigeration aids wine clarification in several ways. Temperature reduction often prevents both yeast growth and the evolution of carbon dioxide, which tends to keep the yeast cells suspended. Carbon dioxide is more soluble at lower temperatures. A major cause of cloudiness is the slow precipitation of potassium acid tartrate (cream of tartar) as the wine ages. Rapid precipitation is induced by lowering the temperature to −7 to −5 °C (19 to 23 °F) for one or two weeks. If the resulting wine is filtered off the tartrate deposit, tartrate precipitation will not usually cause clouding later.
Ion exchange
Another method of tartrate stabilization is to pass a portion of wine through a device called an ion exchanger. If this ion exchanger is charged with sodium, it will replace the potassium in potassium acid tartrate with sodium, making a more soluble tartrate. Usually, if the potassium content of the blend of either treated or untreated wine is reduced to about 500 milligrams per litre, no further precipitation will occur. Exceptions may occur, however, and to be safe, tartrate and potassium contents and pH are included in the calculation. The use of ion exchange is illegal in several countries.
Many wines contain small amounts of proteins that may cause clouding either by precipitation or by reacting with copper or other metals to form aggregates that in turn form clouds. The use of bentonite removes some protein, and protein adsorption is increased if the wine is warm when fined. Pasteurization at 70 to 82 °C (158 to 180 °F) also can be used to precipitate proteins, but in modern practice this process is seldom employed to aid clarification.
Aging and bottling
Many wines improve in quality during barrel and bottle storage. Such wines eventually reach their peak and with further aging begin to decline. During the aging period, acidity decreases, additional clarification and stabilization occur as undesirable substances are precipitated, and the various components of the wine form complex compounds affecting flavour and aroma.
Wines are usually aged in wooden containers made of oak, allowing oxygen to enter and water and alcohol to escape. Extracts from the wood contribute to flavour. Humidity affects the kind of constituents that escape, with alcohol becoming more concentrated in wine stored under conditions of low humidity and weakening with high humidity. As the water and alcohol are released, volume decreases, leaving headspace, or ullage, that is made up by the addition of more of the same wine from another container.
Some red table wines appreciate in quality, developing less astringency and colour, and a greater complexity of flavour with aging in oak cooperage of up to 500-gallon size for two to three years. In the best red wines, additional improvement may continue with two to 20 years of bottle aging (the rate of aging being lower in the bottle than in the barrel). Many dessert wines improve during cask aging, particularly sweet sherries, but extraction of excessive wood flavour must be avoided. Those rosé and dry red wines that will not improve with long cask and bottle aging are aged for a short period of time, clarified, and then bottled. More than 90 percent of all table wines are probably marketed and consumed before they are two years old. In dry white wines, a fresher flavour is considered desirable, and the chief benefit of aging is greater clarification as various undesirable substances are precipitated. These wines are rarely aged in the wood for long periods, and some are never kept in wood. This change is possible because of the efficiency of new clarification methods. Earlier bottling of white wines reduces costs for storage and for handling in wooden cooperage and produces fresher, fruitier flavour. Sweet white table wines profit by some aging in wood.

Christina of East Bay Dish invited me out on this media lunch to try Farm Burger in Berkeley. Obligatory disclaimer: Our meal was comped. Non-obligatory disclaimer: Our eyes may have been bigger than our stomachs as we pretty much tried two or more items from every section of their menu.
Farm Burger is a small hamburger chain, and the Berkeley store is their first on the West Coast. They are committed to using grass-fed beef, sourcing it from BN Ranch and Stemple Creek Ranch for this location. They also grind their patty meat in-house daily. Local farms provide their veggies.
The rest of Farm Burger's stores are in the South, and those Southern roots are just as present on their Berkeley menu, with side offerings like collard greens and boiled peanuts. I don't think this joint is going to have any problem keeping busy—it was swamped midday on a Saturday, and it's been open since November in West Berkeley's Gilman District development, which looked to be quite popular! The crowd only started to thin around 3 pm.
In addition to sides and burgers, there are salads, several varieties of fries, shakes, and boozy and standard floats.
I could taste the quality of their ingredients, always a plus, but a few dishes rested too firmly on those all-natural laurels—in other words, they were bland. The fried chicken livers, in particular, are a dish I would not order again.
I'm not a fan of liver in general, but the usual reasons why were not on display here: the taste of iron and the silky texture of pâtés. These livers were dry, which is better than silky for me but not by much. The breading was rubbery and barely salted, if at all. That salt must have abandoned ship for the cheesy grits.
Those weren't up to snuff for me, either, but maybe I'm spoiled from all those fluffy, stone-ground grits served up by the chefs of North Carolina's Research Triangle. These were more, well, gritty. Did I mention the salt? Waaay too much of that for me. But the cheese flavor was robust, and when I bit into a warm, gushy tomato at the same time as the grits, it was more appealing overall.by

Periprosthetic joint infection is a particularly difficult orthopedic problem, complicating a growing number of revision procedures. Joint debridement and systemic antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment, yet difficulty remains in maintaining a minimum inhibitory concentration of antibiotic at the localized site of infection.
Study Aims
This study analyzes the elution characteristics of a 40%bwt calcium phosphate–60%bwt calcium sulfate composite, at varying concentrations of vancomycin.
Four groups of varying concentrations of vancomycin (2.63%bwt, 5.13%, 9.76%, and 17.78%) were mixed with one pack of the composite cement. At designated time intervals up to 28 days, the antibiotic concentration was detected using fluorescence polarization immunoassay and the elution trends compared.
The elution rate of each of the four groups decreased over time. At almost all of the intervals, the elution rates of the higher concentration groups were significantly higher than the lower concentration groups (P < 0.05).
Calcium sulfate reabsorbs over a prolonged period, producing porosity which allows for new bone ingrowth through occupation of osteoprogenitor cells and osteoblasts; while calcium phosphate acts as a long-term osteoconductive matrix.
Clinical Relevance
The results of this study suggest that vancomycin can be mixed affectively with a calcium sulfate/phosphate composite, both maintaining stability and eluting gradually over a clinically relevant period of time.

Officer sentenced for obscene videoCasey Carmichael, the former Clayton County police officer who used a police department laptop computer for lewd, online conversations with a teenager, has been sentenced to two years and nine months in federal prison. Carmichael pleaded guilty on Aug. 14 to "knowingly attempting to transfer obscene matter on the Internet to a person under the age of 16." The officer, now 29, admitted he sent a video of himself masturbating in his patrol car to an FBI agent, who was undercover as a 14-year-old Mississippi girl. After a year and a half with the department, Carmichael was arrested when he showed up for duty in September 2007. - Daniel Silliman

Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The Madras High Court has ordered notice to the Government on a habeas corpus petition seeking the release of three persons, including V. Sundaramoorthy, who was arrested by the Q Branch police in Tirupur on Tuesday.
A Division Bench, comprising Justice Prafulla Kumar Misra and Justice R. Banumathi, ordered the notice, returnable by July 13, after an urgent hearing of a petition filed by advocate G. Haribabu, general secretary of the Centre for Protection of Civil Liberties (Tamil Nadu).
The petitioner submitted that Mr. Sundaramoorthy of Ramayampatti in Dharmapuri district was arrested along with M. Karthi of Ammapet in Salem district and M. Eswaran of Mettupatti in Theni district on July 8 itself.
Apprehending threat to the lives of the detenus, the petitioner said though they were picked up by the Q Branch on July 8 itself, they were neither produced in any court nor remanded to judicial custody. Attempts to contact the Superintendent of Police of the Q Branch police proved futile as there was no response from the other end.
During arguments, Mr. Justice Misra referred to the photographs of the detenus published in various dailies, and wondered whether it would not affect the case if there arose a need to hold an identification parade at a later stage. He adjourned the matter to Friday for further proceedings.

Corey Koskie Rumors
Corey Koskie Retires
According to Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star Tribune Corey Koskie is retiring. Koskie has struggled with concussion-related problems over the last few years and he felt light-headed this week after diving for a ball at third base.
Koskie says he's reitiring because he no longer wants to worry about getting another concussion. He still sounds confident in his abilities.
Odds And Ends: Gonzalez, Hill, Koskie
Links for Saturday…
- According to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch, the Yankees demoted righty Phil Hughes. He had a nice spring and figures to be the first in line when the team needs another starter.
- Tracy Ringolsby of Inside the Rockies reports that Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall spoke with Luis Gonzalez about re-joining the D'Backs once he retires as a player.
- Dave Perkin of Baseball America highlights some amateur players worth keeping an eye on.
- Check out Tim's Interview over at 6 Pound 8 Ounce Baby Joba.
- Cameron Smith of the Washington Post thinks Shawn Hill and the Blue Jays should work out a deal because it would benefit both sides.
- Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports that Corey Koskie's baseball future could be in jeopardy. Koskie felt light-headed after diving for a ball yesterday in Spring Training.
- ESPN.com's Peter Gammons spoke with Matt Holliday about his home-road splits and his new Oakland teammates. Like Buster Olney, Gammons suggests the Red Sox, Yankees and Angels are possible fits for Holliday after the season.

Miles On Koskie, Schilling
After speaking with Jim Hendry, Bruce Miles has more on a couple of today's Cubs rumors: the Cubs' signing of Corey Koskie, and their possible connection to Curt Schilling.
According to Miles, Hendry "seems excited" about adding Koskie. The Cubs could use Koskie as a backup third baseman, Miles writes, despite Hendry's assertion that the team is "very happy with [Mike] Fontenot and [Aaron] Miles and what they're doing in getting looks at third base."
As for the Schilling rumor, Miles says the Cubs have not heard directly from the pitcher, but are open to the idea of potentially adding him. Says Miles' source within the Cubs' organization: "Why not?"

Cubs To Sign Corey Koskie
According to Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times the Cubs agreed to sign Corey Koskie to a minor league deal. He'll compete for a backup job with the Cubs this spring. Koskie, who has agreed to play for Canada in the WBC, has missed large chunks of time because of concussions.
The update comes from Wittenmyer's Twitter account. Remember to follow MLBTR on Twitter, too.
In a press release, the Cubs say the deal is pending a physical. Koskie will report to Cubs camp after the WBC.
The Return Of Corey Koskie?
Kelsie Smith of the Pioneer Press reports that Corey Koskie will play for Team Canada in the WBC. His appearance is motivated by a strong interest in returning to the major leagues, after a break from the game of over two years due to his experiencing symptoms of post-concussion syndrome.
We've mentioned the Koskie story before. Here's to hoping that Koskie finds a way to get back into the game.
Full Story | Comments | Categories: Corey Koskie
Odds and Ends: Colon, Koskie, Atkins
We take a break from your regularly scheduled Erik Bedard drama to bring you some random links.
- The White Sox made an incentive-laden offer to Bartolo Colon, but Colon apparently physically disappeared at the thought of it. There's a joke here, somewhere. Kenny Williams also almost kind of hinted at implying that he made some kind of effort to acquire Bedard.
- A brief note from the Sun-Times – outfielder Brian Anderson may be traded to an NL team (Marlins?).
- It's possible that Corey Koskie makes another comeback attempt. He's gone through a postconcussion syndrome nightmare.
- The Denver Post's Troy Renck is always going over to Rockies players' houses and chilling in their living rooms. This time, it was Garrett Atkins. Atkins says the Rox made a multiyear offer to him a year ago more similar to Jeff Francis' (4/13.25) than that of Aaron Cook (3/30) or Troy Tulowitzki (6/31). That offer was to cover Atkins' three arbitration years and have a club option for his first of free agency.
- I recently did a Q&A with Science Fiction Baseball.
- Website note: I am leaning toward doing a full redesign. New logo, widen this baby, brighten her up, increase the font size, and yes, do away with the white on black type. Lots of room for improvement with this clunky old design, we all know it.

Red Sox Considering Bench Additions
Sean McAdam writes today about some bench players on Boston's radar. He names Russell Branyan, Ryan Klesko, Corey Koskie, Jeff Cirillo, and Olmedo Saenz as possibilities. Branyan may be toward the bottom of the list. He had an odd .196/.320/.423 line this year with 10 HR in 163 ABs.
Klesko seems the best hitter of the bunch with a .744 OPS this year. Koskie missed the '07 season with post-concussion syndrome. He said he'll re-evaluate in January and decide whether he can play or has to retire.

IBM set to take supercomputing crown

Supercomputer giants stand tall in rankingsMay 16, 2002
The speed of 70.7 teraflops, as expected, puts Blue Gene/L well ahead of the 42.7 teraflops Silicon Graphics Inc. announced in October for its Columbia system, as well as the 51.9 teraflops that the full Columbia configuration is expected to be able to reach. The companies are vying for the top spot in a list of the world's 500 fastest supercomputers. The list will be updated Monday.
In addition, the new speed definitively bested a Japanese system, NEC's Earth Simulator, that has led the Top500 list for two years. The Blue Gene/L lead could increase when the system quadruples in size from its current configuration with 16 racks and more than 16,000 dual-core processors. The improvement will be made by May, IBM says.
The U.S. Energy Department, which is paying for the machine through its Advanced Simulation and Computing program, said the system will boost research in the United States.
"The delivery of the first quarter of the BlueGene/L system to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory this month shows how a partnership between government and industry can effectively advance national agendas in science, technology, security and industrial competitiveness,? Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham said in a statement.
Livermore will use the system for materials science simulations, said Lynn Kissel, deputy director of the lab's Advanced Simulation and Computing program. Compared with current technology, Blue Gene/L will make simulations possible with roughly 1,000 times as many atoms--enough that the simulations can be compared with real-world experiments.
The list to be revealed Monday represents one of the twice-yearly updates to the Top500 list; the new list will be unveiled at the SC2004 show in Pittsburgh. The long domination of the NEC machine had raised some concerns among government officials that the United States was losing its supercomputing edge. IBM tried to allay those concerns when an earlier incarnation of Blue Gene/L edged past Earth Simulator in September.

loosing oil pressure, help!
I have a 02' Dodge Ram 1500 5.9L quad cab. Please bear with me as I will tell you whats going on from the start. Well in the past little while I have been having to add oil pretty often. I do believe its leaking from the oil pan gasket in the bottom of the "U" shape on the front of the pan gasket. I can't see any other place on the motor where it would be leaking. The truck does have 175,00 miles on it so it may be using SOME oil, but not as much as im having to add and besides there is no smoke at all coming out of the pipes. Ok, so I can usually tell when I need to add oil because the pressure will drop all the way down and come back up, but not here lately. The oil level is FULL and its getting more and more common for the pressure to drop all the way down, stay down for about 4-5 seconds, then return to normal. Note: This is only at a idle, I almost never had it to drop while driving down the road. Mostly at stop lights and such when im at a idle.
What could this be? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Some notes:
-has 175,000 miles (95% HWY)
-I use 10W-30 motor oil, changed regularly (here lately since I been adding oil often I been using cheaper oil i.e. Valvoline, Quaker oil) I usually and once I get gasket fixed I will go back to Castrol
-oil filter is also changed with oil always
Any questions for me please ask. I dont know whats going on here or if somethings going bad or if its something simple I can do.
Thanks in advance
i would say that gasket is the problem...get it fixed asap
would the gasket itself cause the pressure to drop??
unlesss the oil is very low, i doubt that is causing low pressure. swith to a bit thicker dino oil and see if that helps.
so you think maybe try 10w-40??
You don't want to hear this but get prepared to rebuild your engine. Low oil pressure and using oil are good signs of a worn out motor.
Sounds like you have a tremendous amount of blow by and leaking. Also you can't really increase your oil pressure. All you can do is increase the volume. A really unlikely cause is that you'r oil pump could be partially clogged and not distributing the full amount of oil throughout the engine.
You would do better for yourself by promptly taking your truck to your reputable shop or Dodge dealer for such a critical oil pressure problem. Asking the forum to long distance diagnose your truck is not acting prudently, while you may damage your engine.
To answer your question, the cheapest fix would be to replace the oil pump. If that doesn't fix it, its time for a rebuild.
Also keep in mind the oil pressure gauge isn't how you keep track of the oil level, the dipstick is for that. I you notice you oil pressure is low and that's when you add oil, that's way to late. Its kind of like using your smoke alarm as an oven timer, by the time it goes off, its too late.
I'm really having some difficulty reading the above posts.
Oil pressure is created in the main bearings/rod bearings. An oil pump distributes the oil throughout the top of the engine to supply the lifters and push rods.
What you are describing is engine wear or oil viscosity breakdown. You CAN increase your oil pressure without increasing volume of oil in the engine.
As your oil heats up it loses viscosity and breaks down (thins). Since your vehicle is no longer under warranty you can use 20w-50 (20 winter weight/50 summer/warm). The engine tolerances on your vehicle have increased and the clearances are increasing, so there should be an improvement. But that's a short term fix.
You CAN install a high volume oil pump to increase the amount of oil distributed throughout the engine for ease in moving the 20w-50.
The oil pan gasket has nothing to do with oil pressure, and I have no idea where "blow by" was even introduced into this topic as you CLEARLY indicated there was no oil usage, smoke, etc...
KxLexus and Huntergreen were leading you in the right direction and I'm not even going to dignify the other remarks with a reply. Although you may be able to get another 100,000 out of the engine at this point by replacing the rod and main bearings. While you're in there replace the oil pump (because it also supplies the bearing journals and if it goes bad you will lose oil pressure) and the gasket is a given since you're leaking anyway.
The bearings are a lot softer than the steel crank and although there may be some wear to the crank, it's not even going to be comparable to the wear on the bearings.
You can accomplish this amazing feat by yourself in one day by dropping the starter (for ease) and the pan without having to lift the engine or any other extensive preparation.
Pick up a Chilton's or Hayne's manual and hire a monkey. It's that simple.
Oh make sure the monkey has a torque wrench.
Acting prudently...it's not like he asked someone to sniff his finger over the internet, and what did it smell like. This is a simple mechanical question. Could it be the oil pressure switch? sure, but it's not.

This is our favorite tofu recipe!
It was so easy to prepare.
Lovely flavors -- the sweetness of the honey/lemon was a great counterpart to the spices of the dredge.
Also, the crunchiness of the pine nuts was nice, given tofu's basic texture.
Only thing we did differently was cut the tofu (a half-recipe) into smaller, thinner slices, so we had more of the spice flavor.
Great meal!

8 Reviews for Spice-Crusted Tofu
This is our favorite tofu recipe!
My husband and I are big tofu eaters and I was looking for some ways to mix it up. This was excellent and very easy to make.
I substituted the pine nuts for roasted sunflower seeds.
Will definitely make again and again !
I made this to go along with a pasta dish I was bringing to a cousin's get together last night. (pasta, artichoke hearts, sun dried tomatoes, fresh green beans) I kept it on the side as I wasnt sure who would eat tofu. Everyone LOVED it... a big hit for sure!
Will make it for sure again!
Loved it! I sprinkled some fitflax on top
Yummy! I didn't use pine nuts but I did everything else exactly the same except I only made a half of block. The flavor of the honey and lemon compliment the spices well. It has a slightly sweet good flavor to it. Will def. make again!

Now, Imoblife Inc.(DownloadAndroid) are working in collaboration with The Unexplainable Store to develop top-qualified brainwave apps for Android users.
The Mind is a Wellspring of Hope. Hope is the single greatest asset we have when combating depression and despair. Think about the last time you were truly happy.

This app will help you concentrate on a positive recollection of things that make you happy. As the positive emotion will be implanted to your sub-conscious mind, you will soon feel good with a smile appearing on your face again.
Depression Help Brainwave works efficiently to help you fight against depression.
Some of us are just so used to being sad that we don't know how to live any other way. But deep down we all want to be happy. Deep down we all have that little light of hope that we want to use and send the darkness fleeing. And deep down we all know every single human being on this Earth deserves it.
Depression Help Brainwave uses two specific Frequencies. The first is a Delta Frequency which gives a feeling of unity and helps depression. The second part is a Mid Theta tone that also helps depression and insomnia. Alone each tone is a powerful addition to our arsenal when combating depression. But as we discovered, when put together they are an extremely powerful one to scatter depression and fill the body with a renewed sense of drive, and renewed hope.

Apr 30, 2014 GMTThe previous article described how you can use GitHub and Bitbucket for note-taking using the built-in text editors. In case GitHub's editor is not your cup of tea, you might want to give Prose a try. This web-based slick and lightweight Markdown text editor integrates nicely with GitHub. Once authorized, the editor gives you access to all your GitHub repositories, and you can open any text file for editing or create a new file from scratch. Being a Markdown editor, Prose supports Markdown syntax highlighting, and the editor's interface features a toolbar that gives quick access to all basic formatting options. The interface itself is void of any...

Apr 29, 2014 GMTBoth Bitbucket and GitHub feature built-in editors which can be used for creating and editing files. This feature can come in handy when you need to quickly jot down a note, draft an article, or save a text snippet. GitHub's editor is particularly suitable for writing and note-taking, as it supports soft wrap and the zen mode which provides a distraction-free writing environment. Bitbucket's editor doesn't offer any of these nice touches, but the service lets you maintain private repositories free of charge. So Bitbucket makes a better choice if you want to keep your scribbles private without spending money. Using GitHub's and Bitbucket's built-in editors...

To make it easier to keep tabs on your notes, Laverna allows you to organize them into notebooks. You can also mark individual notes as favorites for faster access. The editing interface supports all essential formatting features. The editor itself is split into two panes: the editing area for working with text and the preview pane which displays the final result in real time. ...
Apr 14, 2014 GMTShareDrop is a simple open source service that can come in handy when you need to quickly share files and documents with machines on the same network. What makes ShareDrop particularly appealing is the fact that it's ridiculously easy to use. To send a file to another machine, open the ShareDrop page on both systems, then drag and drop the file directly on the recipient's avatar. File transfer begins as soon as the recipient accepts the file. The service requires no registration, and you don't have to provide any information. But if you want other users to recognize you by your Gravatar and email address instead of a generic avatar and the current IP address, you can sign in to ShareDrop...
Apr 08, 2014 GMTForgive me for stating the obvious, but ImageMagick is a pretty amazing toolset. And my latest GitHub find is yet another proof of that. Whiteboard Picture Cleaner is a nifty ImageMagick one-liner that can transform snapshots of whiteboard doodles and scribbles into cleaned up and legible images. Despite its simplicity, the one-liner is capable of producing rather impressive results. To make this script work on your Linux machine, you only need to install the ImageMagick package. Create then a new text file, and paste the following code into it: #!/bin/bash convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1...

And when this day comes, you'll need the Lost Photos Found script which automatically sieves through messages on an IMAP email account and downloads all found photos and images.To make use of this nifty script, clone the project's GitHub repository using the git clone https://github.com/caio1982/Lost-Photos-Found.git command.

Mar 28, 2014 GMTThe 2048 game is as addictive as it is simple. Use the arrow keys to move tiles. When two tiles with the same number collide, they merge into a tile with the total value of the two collided tiles. For example, when two 32 tiles collide, they merge into a 64 tile. The purpose of the game is to reach the 2048 tile. It might sound simple, but it's far from it. Depending on your skills, a typical game takes 5-10 minutes to play, which makes it a perfect diversion for short breaks during the day. To play the original game, you need a browser and an Internet connection. But if you want to play 2048 offline from the convenience of the command line, you'll...

'Allegiance' tops year's theater stories
Old Globe musical is biggest surprise in fertile season for local stages
Playhouse shows on Broadway: Even for a theater accustomed to sending productions to New York, 2012 was a pretty big Broadway year. "Peter and the Starcatcher," which began in the Playhouse's Page to Stage program in 2009, had a strong run (which concludes Jan. 20), winning five Tony Awards; the Playhouse-launched "Memphis" (directed by artistic chief Christopher Ashley) closed after nearly two years, but "Jersey Boys" (a 2004 Playhouse product) kept on rolling.
Less fortunate: "Chaplin," which originated in La Jolla two years ago. It closes on Broadway in January after a disappointing four-month run.
Next up: "Hands on a Hardbody," which premiered in La Jolla last spring and is set to hit Broadway in February.
Financial struggles: Running a theater — particularly a small one — is never an easy fiscal proposition. And that's doubly so in the wake of a national economic crisis and an agonizingly slow recovery.
Last winter, Lamb's Players Theatre — San Diego County's third-largest theater and, at 41, one of its oldest — announced it was disbanding its full-time, year-round acting ensemble as it dealt with debt that had reached some $900,000.
Then, this fall, New Village Arts Theatre dropped productions of the musical "Next to Normal" and the thriller "Wait Until Dark" (replacing the former with a smaller-scale show) and announced a staff shake-up as the Carlsbad company dealt with its own $140,000 deficit.
The more encouraging news: Lamb's seems to be well on its way to economic health again, and NVA forges ahead with a sound plan to remain viable and vibrant.
Small theaters go big: Most encouraging of all, San Diego's smaller theaters continued to do ambitious, groundbreaking work in 2012. The edgy Ion introduced our town to such playwrights as Steven Adly Guirgis with a recent, searing production of "The Little Flower of East Orange," and premiered co-founder Claudio Raygoza's play "Julia"; NVA showcased its bold (if fiscally draining) Ensemble Project; Moxie, Diversionary, Playwrights Project, Mo`olelo, and others (plus such bigger theaters as Cygnet and North Coast Rep) all fostered emerging talent; even Chula Vista's tiny OnStage Playhouse landed a significant world premiere with Jon Jory's adaptation of "Persuasion."
One of these restless, ever-adventurous companies just may wind up giving us the biggest surprise of 2013.

Whistleblower, Kreindler & Associates Help Government Recover $15.5 Million from Harris County Hospital District for False Medicare/Medicaid Claims.
HOUSTON -- Because of a Harris County Hospital District employee's persistence in challenging improperly filed health insurance claims, the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs will recover almost $15.5 million from the hospital district, according to the settlement agreement unsealed today by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The matter, filed under seal in federal court since October 2003, was filed under the powerful, but little known, whistleblower provisions of the federal False Claims Act and Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention law. The case is styled United States ex rel. Robert E. McCaslin, Jr. v. Harris County Hospital District; No. H-03-4438.
Attorney Mitch Kreindler of Kreindler & Associates in Houston and co-counsel Matt Smith of Phillips & Cohen L.L.P., of Washington, D.C., represented the whistleblower, Robert McCaslin, during the legal proceedings in which the Harris County Hospital District (HCHD) ultimately agreed to reimburse the federal and Texas state governments for improperly filed health insurance claims during a period of six years, from 2000 to 2005. Based on its investigation, the government estimates that incorrect claims were filed on behalf of thousands of patients.
The $15,449,126.97 settlement is among the largest cases settled in the Southern District of Texas under the False Claims Act. Cases filed under the False Claims Act in fiscal year 2006 yielded more than $3.166 billion in reimbursement to the federal government, according to statistics maintained by the Department of Justice.
A patient account representative in the Patient Business Services Division at HCHD since April 2001, McCaslin first suspected a systemic problem in the way HCHD was submitting Medicare claims in May 2003. Upon reporting the discrepancy to several supervisors and compliance personnel, McCaslin observed that the erroneous claims continued. He then anonymously notified HCHD's Medicare fiscal intermediary, Trailblazer Health Enterprises LLC, of a specific fraudulent claim. He saw that Trailblazer required HCHD to correct the claim. Secure in the knowledge that he was right, McCaslin sought outside legal assistance to pursue the matter under the provisions of the False Claims Act.
"The way this settlement evolved is a textbook example of how the False Claims Act should work. Thanks to the honesty and courage of Mr. McCaslin, taxpayers have been reimbursed, and the Hospital District has corrected process errors and made necessary staffing changes," Kreindler explained. "The whistleblower, Mr. McCaslin, recognized the wrongdoing and called it to the attention of his supervisors. When his complaints fell on deaf ears, Mr. McCaslin continued to fight for what he knew was right. He enlisted the help of legal counsel, and we alerted the appropriate government entities, who launched an investigation. The False Claims Act empowers individuals to fight those who would defraud the government. To the Hospital District's credit, it was close to a model citizen once it recognized that it had a significant problem."
HCHD engaged in two separate activities that are covered by the settlement. First, HCHD charged Medicaid for medical care provided to individuals who were in the custody of law enforcement officials. Under the existing law, Medicare and Medicaid will not pay such expenses.
Second, HCHD failed to comply with the Medicare as Secondary Payer (MSP) law. Under the law, health care providers are required to seek payment from insurance coverage that is primary to Medicare and Medicaid. Of the thousands of inaccurate claims involved, the majority of improperly filed claims involved patients who had been injured in motor vehicle accidents and treated at HCHD facilities, such as Ben Taub Hospital. Despite knowing that other insurance existed in most motor vehicle accident cases, HCHD billed the individual's medical treatment directly to Medicare. "With these claims involving car accident victims, HCHD simply bypassed submitting the claims to the primary insurance policy even when a primary insurer existed and the contact information for the insurer and its insured was already known to HCHD," Kreindler explained.
McCaslin's case was formally filed in October 2003 under the False Claims Act and its qui tam provisions. Qui tam allows any person with evidence of fraud against federal programs or contracts to sue the wrongdoer on behalf of the government. The act provides for the whistleblower, or relator, to receive between 15 and 25 percent of the amount recovered by the government. Under this provision, the federal government will pay $2,780,842.85 of the settlement - or about 18 percent - to McCaslin for his assistance in recovering these funds.
Kreindler & Associates was founded in November 2000 and is dedicated solely to the representation of False Claims Act whistleblowers. The firm provides an uncommon degree of client service and support to whistleblowers that have made the difficult decision to do what is right, often with significant personal hardship. With a practice that is national in scope, Kreindler's offices are located in Houston and the Philadelphia area.

Elementree has become the accepted standard for interacting with xml. What is the prevalent web service/SOAP library in use today?
I'm not sure about an accepted standard, but I've found SOAPpy to be fairly straight-forward and useful library for handling SOAP-based web services.
IBM provide a good walk-through and example on their site for getting started with SOAPpy.
SOAPpy's no longer under active development, but is instead being folded into Zolera SOAP Infrastructure (ZSI) at the Python Web Services Project. This project however has alos not seen much activity since November last year.
Old question, but for anyone else who is asking this question I've had good success with suds: https://fedorahosted.org/suds/

Battle of Kororareka
The Battle of Kororareka, or the Burning of Kororareka, on 11 March 1845, was an engagement of the Flagstaff War in New Zealand. Following the establishment of British control of the islands, war broke out with the native population which resulted in the fall of the present day city of Russell to Māori warriors.[2]
After the Māori had removed the British colors from Flagstaff Hill in Kororareka three times, they came back to remove it again. This time Chief Hone Heke and his men were allied with Chief Te Ruki Kawiti and his followers so the two contingents attacked the British colony in a combined effort. British forces were outnumbered. The sloop-of-war HMS Hazard landed a party to aid the 96th Regiment of British Army infantry under Lieutenant Colonel William Hulme. In all there were about 140 soldiers, sailors and marines. The American sloop USS St. Louis, under Commodore Foxhall A. Parker, was also present and her crew assisted in evacuating the British citizens.[3] Heavy skirmishing lasted for a while until a large explosion destroyed all of the defender's reserve ammunition. The explosion also set a building on fire which spread. After that the British had no choice but to retreat to the harbour, taking with them the civilian population. HMS Hazard then bombarded the advancing Māori forces. Eleven British defenders were killed and at least eight others were wounded in the attack. Six men from the Hazard who died in the action are remembered by a marker in Russell; the town was mostly destroyed during the fighting.[3]
The last two verses of the poem England's Dead by Felicia Hemans was inscribed on the marker in memory of the six men from the Hazard who died in the action:[1][4]
England's Dead
The Warlike of the Isles
The Men of Field & Wave
Are not the rocks their funeral piles
The Seas & Shore their grave?
Go Stranger, track the Deep,Where rest not Englands dead.
Free, free the white sails spread,
Wave may not foam, nor wild wind beat,

water line through hull
thanks for the input. Just to clarify, my sink through hull is just above the water line and is only sitting under water when the boat is heeled on a port tack. And yes, I meant to say I'd use a y valve and wasn't intending a pure 't'. Given that my boat has no automatic pump right now, I thought I'd go ahead and take advantage of the hole that is above the water line, and then remedy this properly when I next have the boat on the hard. I just haven't decided if I should add a through hull midship just below the toe rail, or extend a pipe all the way to the transom. The only existing holes at the transom are also just above the water line for the scuppers.

How reversed smog rule affects EPA, other agencies
Thursday - 9/8/2011, 9:30am EDT
When President Barack Obama last week ordered the Environmental Protection Agency administrator to withdraw a landmark air pollution rule, the politics of it immediately engulfed Washington.
But what about the operation of the agency and the other agencies EPA might have collaborated with on the rule?
Sarah Ladislaw, a senior fellow for energy and national security at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joined the Federal Drive to discuss the policy implications.
And as she pointed out, though the administration about-face caught many unaware, none of it happened overnight.
