We study the following tree search problem: in a given tree T=(V,E) a vertex has been marked and we want to identify it. In order to locate the marked vertex, we can use edge queries. An edge query e asks in which of the two connected components of T∖e the marked vertex lies. The worst-case scenario where one is interested in minimizing the maximum number of queries is well understood, and linear time algorithms are known for finding an optimal search strategy. Here we study the more involved average-case analysis: A function w:V→ℝ+ is given which measures the likelihood for a vertex to be the one marked, and we seek to determine the strategy (decision tree) that minimizes the weighted average number of queries.
In a companion paper we prove that the above tree search problem is \(\mathcal {NP}\) -complete even for the class of trees of bounded diameter or bounded degree. Here, we match this complexity result with a tight algorithmic analysis of the bounded degree instances. We show that any optimal strategy (i.e., one that minimizes the weighted average number of queries) performs at most O(Δ(T)(log|V|+log(w(T)/w min))) queries in the worst case, where w(T) is the sum of the likelihoods of the vertices of T, w min is the minimum positive likelihood over the vertices of T and Δ(T) is the maximum degree of T. We combine this result with a non-trivial exponential time algorithm to provide an FPTAS for trees with bounded degree. We also show that for unbounded instances a natural greedy strategy attains a 1.62-approximation, improving upon the best known 14-approximation guarantee, previously provided by two of the authors.

Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage
|Ground pork
|4 Pound
|Long grain white rice
|1 1⁄4 Cup (20 tbs)
|To Taste
|To Taste
|To Taste (red Hungarian - for color and taste)
|Garlic cloves
|3 Large, pressed (fresh)
|3 Small
|1 , grated
|Ham hock
|1 (smoked)
|100 Gram, rinse a little right before adding so that it is not too sour
|Contadina tomato paste
|2 Can (20 oz) (mix both cans with enough water to cover entire pot of stuffed cabbage for cooking)
Blanche the cabbage in a big pot of hot water so you can remove the leaves, or until they are soft enough to roll.
cook the rice for 5-8 minutes only, then rinse to get the starch off and add it to the meat mixture.
Add to the meat all the spices and add the eggs, mix well.
take a cabbage leaf and cut the thick stem part off and reserve.
now take a leaf and put a small amount or what ever size of meat at the large stem end and roll, stuff the 2 edges back into the roll.
Put a layer of saurkraut, then the rolls, then saurkraut, then rolls you need to save room in the middle of the pot for the ham hock,
then continue with the layers.
Once all the leaves are rolled cut up the remaining cabbage and put on the top.
Then mix you tomatoe paste with enough water to cover all of the rolls to the top.
Simmer on low til done, don't use high heat or you'll burn the bottom and it will make it taste burnt.
Good luck, I also freeze half the pot for later,everyone that's ever had it loves it. This recipe has been in my family forever and I think this is the first time I ever gave it to any one. Just make sure you taste the mixture as you go, most of us Hungarians do not measure, it's a pinch of this and a pinch of that.
You may also add caraway seeds to the kraut if desired.

Minister addresses 21st convocation of VIT University
VELLORE: The Union Minister for Overseas Indian Affairs, Vayalar Ravi, has called upon the products of engineering colleges to use science and technology to ensure food security for the future in the light of likely increase in the number of impoverished people owing to income disparities.
Delivering the convocation address at the 21st annual convocation of the VIT University here on Saturday, Mr. Ravi said that while scientific knowledge had led to advances that had been of great benefit to humankind, at the same time, the rapid growth of the material world had led to environmental degradation leading to social imbalance and production of weapons of mass destruction.
In the 21st century, the human society faced the daunting task of forging a new relationship with the natural world, which was best defined as "sustainability". Sustainability implied meeting current human needs, while preserving environment and natural resources needed by future generations.
"As young men and women in pursuit of knowledge, these will be the complex problems that you will have to address in your lifetime. The world population has reached six billion and by 2050, is expected to reach nearly nine billion. Hence reducing hunger and poverty will be the primary challenge. Nearly one billion persons are now impoverished with no employment. This number is likely to increase as the world population grows. The challenge is to reduce disparities through capacity building and providing the poor access to knowledge and resources needed," he told the graduates. Presiding over the convocation, Chancellor of VIT University G. Viswanathan appealed to the Central and State Governments to offer scholarships to a large number of students not only for professional courses, but also for science and humanities. At present, only eight per cent of the relevant age group had access to higher education. This percentage had to go up considerably in order to enable India to become an advanced country. "Affordability is the real hurdle. Poor and middle class people require the support of Governments to get higher education," he noted.
Mr. Ravi distributed degrees to 48 students, who won gold medals. A total of 2,109 candidates received their degrees at the convocation.

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Cut 4 sheets of parchment 16-inches by 12-inches. Fold paper in half to make a crease, then open up. Arrange zucchini slices and peppers on parchment paper, then distribute shrimp and scallops over zucchini and peppers. Season lightly and top with red onion and herbs. Sprinkle seafood with white wine, arrange lemon slices and top with a tablespoon of butter on each paper.
To create the parcel, fold paper over seafood. Starting at a folded end, make a small crease in the paper, folding on an angle. Make the next fold so that the crease overlaps the first fold (this is how you create a seal). Continue with these small folds, working your way around the seafood, until you get to the end. Twist the parchment at the end to finish the seal.
Place parchment parcels on a baking tray and bake for about 15 minutes, until the parcels inflate. To serve, place parcel on a plate and cut or tear open (watch for the steam).
Parcels can be assembled up to 6 hours in advance and chilled.

Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Rose are the best wines to pair with Seafood in Parchment Parcels.

Sending military bullies care packages from countries other than their own
Way back last year, I told our beloved Dave/Rock Ape/Mohammed Jihad that I would send him a care package when he was finally deployed to Afganistan.
He is headed out and this brings up the topic of this thread.
Here in the US, military members can receive packages addressed to their APO or FPO address.
The sender only pays regular shipping. This means a person here in the US can send packages to anywhere in the world and not pay the exhorbitant shipping rates for regular international air shipping.
Packages to military personnel are a piece of "back home", "the real world". Few pleasures break up the daily routine like receiving a letter or package from home.
Please contribute your knowledge as to how persons can help each other to send our military (from whatever country) packages when they are from countries other than our own.

No alcohol is a rule I believe. Then again, Dave's headed to the sandbox, where alcohol isn't allowed anyway (I may be wrong on Afganistan - correct me if so).
Reader's Digest would probably be considered porn.
Where Dave is currently good things would be snacks, sweets, chap stick with UV protection, magazines (with porn hidden inside?), gag gifts, etc.
Someone feel free to add to the list.
--Originally Posted by Colby
I won't hold you to the half, but let's get a discussion started on just what are the good things to send in a care package.
I may have someone across the pond that can save us a lot on shipping. More to Dave if we can do.
OK fellow and former military - just what tickles your fancy in a care package?

PORTLAND A female assailant jumped out of a car in front of an 89-year-old woman's home, grabbed her, threw her to the ground and took her purse, leaving her with a nasty black eye Tuesday.
It all started when the victim, who asked to only be identified as Marge, returned from shopping at her neighborhood Fred Meyer. She pulled into her driveway in Southeast Portland and noticed an Orange 1970s station wagon parked in front of her mailbox, said Sgt. Pete Simpson with Portland police.
A woman then popped out of the backseat of the vehicle.
Marge told the woman she couldn t park in front of her mail boxes, and that s when the woman came at her and yanked the purse out of her hands. Marge fell to the ground with several injuries to the face, hand, and leg, Simpson said.
The assailant then jumped back in the car as it sped off down the road.
Marge was treated by paramedics at the scene before she was taken to the hospital. Her purse had cash, credit cards and other miscellaneous identification and property inside.
Marge s glasses were also broken in the melee.
The suspect was described as a white woman in her 30s with a medium build and around 5-foot-7. She was last seen riding in the back seat of a 1970s orange station wagon.
Anyone with information was asked to call police at 503-823-0405.

Secrets of Edinburgh's Royal Mile Afternoon Walking Tour with Optional Edinburgh Castle Tour
Pick up your guide at the Mercat Cross and let him entertain you with stories from Edinburgh's past. Since the earliest times, Edinburgh has been at the forefront of religious and legal matters in Scotland. St Giles Cathedral was founded in 854 AD and has been site of some of the most dramatic events in the nation's history. The Protestant Reformers, the brave Covenanters and the fiery Jenny Geddes who threw her chair at the Bishop - hear about them all.
Home to the earliest skyscrapers in Europe, some famous Edinburgh tenements were 14 stories high. After defeat by the English in 1513 the city fathers build the Flodden Wall around Edinburgh to protect against invasion. As the population grew, the city could not expand outwards, so it grew upwards. It is said that people, ten stories up, could reach out and shake hands with their neighbors in the opposite building!
Your tour ventures down the narrow passageways into courtyards where you learn of tragedy and triumph, marvel at the stunning architecture - and recoil at the cry "gardyloo". The Royal Mile was home to the great, the good - and the not so good - of Edinburgh. Deacon Brodie, locksmith by day and thief by night, inspired Robert Louis Stevenson's famous novel The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Deacon Brodie and many others populate this enthralling and fascinating tour of the Old Town of Edinburgh.
Upgrade to include a tour of Scotland's most famous historic attraction: Edinburgh Castle! The castle is believed to date back as far as the Iron Age, and has witnessed a number of bloody battles, including the War of Independence between the Scots and English in the 14th Century.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. It was interesting to find out things that are not commonly know about the Royal Mile. Although after several days of visiting Edinburgh my feet were aching nothing to do with this tour by-the-way. It is worth every penny!

As one recent guest said, your home is 'Reminiscent of a Simpler and Sweeter Time'. This home is the perfect spot for those who enjoy watching wildlife, who love returning 'home' from the beach, a shopping spree or a sail, to dine alfresco, enjoy an outdoor nap, marvel at the sunsets and watch boating on Vineyard Sound. This 4 bedroom home (freshly painted interior!) and its porch (with table for waterview and sunset dining) and grounds are the perfect spot - - ideal for families! French doors open to the screened porch with unobstructed views of Crystal Lake and the Vineyard Sound. The windows throughout enjoy wonderful water views and cool ocean breezes. Situated on a quiet, little-traveled lane beside Crystal Lake, East Chop, the yard and surroundings are perfect for playing children and tranquil for adults! The area is a jogger's/walker's dream! Despite the peaceful location, this charming, vintage home is within a short biking or walking distance of a salt water beach and Oak Bluffs with its harbor, numerous shops and restaurants and the famous Flying Horses Carousel.
More on the house and island: This is an authentic, Vineyard, family and kid-friendly beach house. Five generations of the same family have enjoyed this home and property! You can arrive, unpack your suitcases and start enjoying your vacation immediately - the house is well-equipped and comfortable. From the house, you can easily walk or ride your bike to Oak Bluffs, through quiet, neighborhood streets and lanes. Vineyard Haven is about 2 miles away. The nearest salt water swimming beach is on East Chop and less than a mile from the house - you can bike or walk there easily. Another wonderful swimming beach is about 1.5 miles in the direction of Vineyard Haven.
Amenities in this home include 2 HDTVs, DVD player, free wifi, printer, gas grill, hot water outside shower, porch dining table, original clawfoot tub, books and games, off-street parking for 3 cars, a screened porch and a hammock, both with unobstructed water views!
Remember, Martha's Vineyard is an island (reached by air or ferry) and nothing is very far away. This island has something for everyone: 5 unique island villages, wonderful calm-water sandy beaches, surf beaches, golf, tennis, hiking trails, biking, fishing, theater, old-style farmers' and flea markets, and unique shops of every description. Enjoy a corner of paradise!
It was great to meet you and hear about the house and the
neighborhood. East Chop is a wonderful neighborhood. Now I understand why our friends who live on the island think it's the best.
We loved our stay. The location is wonderful -- so private and quiet but only
a 5-minute bike or car ride to so many activities in Oak Bluffs. The house
itself is lovely. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and attractive
décor. (Loved having the option to hang laundry outside!) We especially
enjoyed the screened porch and our sunset dinners on it. It's just a great
I've rented homes in other vacation spots but this was my first time renting a house on Martha's Vineyard and while looking online I was completely overwhelmed. Once I saw Cindy's home I knew I found the one! I went with my boyfriend and another couple and we are in our late 30's so we wanted to be close to Oak Bluff's for our evenings out but also have a quiet and relaxing setting. It was perfect! A quick drive to the center of town and close to Vineyard Haven. The house was the most well equipped house I've ever stayed in with plush bath towels, loads of beach chairs and comfy pillows for the most restful sleep! The weather was quite chilly but we didn't mind spending time at the house having cocktails and playing scrabble since it was so cozy and well kept. It was so nice sipping coffee in the morning on the screened in porch while watching the boats go by. I'm hoping to make plans to stay at this fabulous rental again! Thank you Cindy!
We stayed here for a week summer 2011. We loved it!! The location is ideal-close to everything but tucked away so VERY QUIET. The view of the water over the pond was beautiful-fantastic sunset every night. The nearby pond is like having your own private nature preserve. The property was beautiful, clean and very well-kept.
Spent 4 wonderfully relaxing days with 3 friends in this perfectly located charming home. Highly recommend this house. 4 comfortable bedrooms. Central location between Oak Bluffs and Vineyard Haven was very convenient yet away from the crowded areas. Having a car made the whole island accessable. The neighbors are all very friendly and welcoming. I felt like it was my house. The porch was so relaxing we had most of our meals at the house. The kitchen is well equiped and we even found a sald spinner for the fresh lettuce from the Farmer's market.
What a wonderful time we had in your lovely home! The view and the breezes were spectacular and I especially loved how fresh and crisp everything was inside! You've done a beautiful job maintaining the original qualities of this beach house. It's comfortable and quiet and great for families! We will definitely come back next summer, thank you again.
We really enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in various locations on the Vineyard, but this house really feels like a family home. It is very comfortable, well planned and thoughtfully stocked with the basics. The location is very convenient, yet enough out of the way of traffic where children can play and ride their bikes. The view of the lake and the ocean is also very relaxing. I can see how it would be very nice to spend summers with children at this house.
East Chop has been a popular summer residential area since the late 1800s. It is a peninsula surrounded on the North and East by Vineyard Sound and on the West by Vineyard Haven Harbor, and features the high, prominent bluffs that give the near-by town, Oak Bluffs, its name. A lighthouse, East Chop Light, stands at the north end of the chop on Telegraph Hill.

Series: BioLogos Basics (7 entries)
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.

So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Researchers in the emerging field of Paleogenomics are investigating the past using genetic research.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.

The Scandal of Middle East Studies
Bankrupt scholarship and foolish policy advice.
Nov 19, 2001, Vol. 7, No. 10 • By STANLEY KURTZ
AS CONGRESS prepares to convene hearings on the intelligence failures exposed by September 11, it is important to recognize that the failures go beyond the dearth of agents on the ground in the Middle East and the shortage of Arabic speakers at the CIA. Our neglect of the terrorist threat is of long standing and reflects, among other things, the moral and intellectual bankruptcy of American academic programs in Middle Eastern studies.
Considering the wide publicity given to Osama bin Laden's activities, American scholars should have been onto him years ago. They should have been churning out analyses of his ideology and appeal and alerting policymakers to the threat he posed to the United States. Instead, they deliberately avoided the topic of Islamic terrorism and--in their writings, their testimony before Congress, and their advice to the intelligence community--argued that America could bring peace and democracy to the Middle East only by supporting Islamic fundamentalists.
It is a dismal story, recounted in Martin Kramer's unsparing new study "Ivory Towers on Sand: The Failure of Middle Eastern Studies in America," commissioned by the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. Kramer is the editor of the Middle East Quarterly and a former director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies at Tel Aviv University. He holds graduate degrees from Princeton and Columbia, has taught at the University of Chicago, Cornell, and Georgetown, and is the author of six books on the Middle East.
The story begins in the late 1940s, when Middle East "area studies" sprouted in American universities. The founders of this discipline made a pitch for government funding on grounds of national interest. They argued, for example, that federal support for American-staffed universities in places like Beirut would strengthen liberal forces in the region, serving as a bulwark against both communism and indigenous movements of sectarian reaction. To a degree, their pitch was self-interested. By breaking with the European model of learning based on the command of ancient and modern languages, and instead framing their object of study as a region of strategic value to the nation, apolitical scholars could contemplate fifteenth-century Islamic architecture and still do it on the government's dime.
Whatever their personal views, the postwar generation, Kramer says, were "careful to keep their politics outside the fences they erected around the field." But these were men "of patriotic disposition," who had served their country in war and felt no aversion to maintaining ties to Washington. The government periodically opened its classified archives to scholars, but for the most part was content to reap the benefits of a broad and gradually accumulating scholarly knowledge of the region.
In those early days, the ruling paradigm in Middle Eastern studies was the investigation of "development" or "modernization." Drawing on social science texts like Daniel Lerner's "The Passing of Traditional Society" (1958), scholars argued that the Middle East had embarked upon a path of gradual but inevitable secularization, urbanization, industrialization, and political participation. The region was bound to become modern--that is, more like the United States--and American students saw their job as understanding that process and even helping it along.
Two events unanticipated by Middle East experts brought the modernization paradigm crashing to the ground: the disintegration of Lebanon and the Shiite revolution in Iran. Lebanon had been the center of cosmopolitanism, tolerance, and American influence in the Arab world before it was engulfed in civil war in 1975. And Shah Reza Pahlavi had been a leading modernizer. His overthrow by Islamic theocrats in 1979 stunned Americans.
Also in the late seventies, the radical students of the 1960s began to enter the professoriate. The way was cleared for them to wrest power from the Middle East studies establishment when Edward Said's "Orientalism" (1978) crystallized a new understanding of the field. The founding text of postcolonial studies, "Orientalism" effectively delegitimated all previous scholarship on the Middle East by branding it as racist. Said drew no distinction between the most ignorant and bigoted remarks of nineteenth-century colonialists and the most accomplished pronouncements of contemporary Western scholars: All Western knowledge of the East was intrinsically tainted with imperialism. Any scholarly characterization of the distinctive nature of Islamic civilization or of Middle Eastern culture was taken by Said to be a roundabout justification for Western rule of the irrational natives.

The ruling BJP as well as opposition Congress are drawing up poll campaign plans for the upcoming by-polls for the nine Assembly and one Lok Sabha seat in Gujarat.
Both BJP and Congress have inaugurated their party offices in Maninagar here, one of the Assembly seats going for polls. This seat was vacated by Narendra Modi as an MLA after he became the Prime Minister.
Gujarat Congress Spokesperson Manish Doshi said, "With this office in Maninagar, Congress has offices in all the 10 constituencies. Though poll campaign is yet to gain momentum, some of our candidates have already started their 'Lok Sampark' (mass contact) meetings in their respective areas." BJP, on the other hand is also set to kick start the poll campaign.
"We have completed our ground work well in advance," said BJP's state media convener Harshad Patel. "It is necessary to put the organizational structure in place before starting the real campaign, which involves public meetings and door-to-door campaign. Our senior leaders have appointed the important functionaries on each seat well in advance. Now, candidates will kick start their campaign," he added.
By polls on nine assembly and one Lok Sabha seat will be conducted on September 13. The Assembly seats where by polls will be held are Anand, Limkheda (Dahod), Deesa (Banaskantha), Matar (Kheda), Maninagar (Ahmedabad), Talaja (Bhavnagar), Tankara (Rajkot), Khambhalia (Jamnagar) and Mangrol (Junagadh).
The Vadodara Lok Sabha seat fell vacant after Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to retain Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. As a sitting MLA, he also vacated Maninagar Assembly seat.

3D Printing Company to Offer Next-Day Service
3D printing company Solid Prototype to be first in industry to offer next-day service in response to Obama address.
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) March 08, 2013
Austin-based 3D printing company Solid Prototype is now the first in the industry to offer next-day service, allowing anyone to take an idea from their mind and place it in their hands within a single day.
"Imagine having immediate access to discontinued parts for machinery, custom auto parts that don't exist in any catalog, or a prototype for an invention that's been crawling around in your brain. Now, you can have it tomorrow," says Charles Barton, owner of Solid Prototype.
President Barack Obama, in his latest State of the Union Address, said this about 3D printing. "Our first priority is making America a magnet for new jobs and manufacturing. There are things we can do, right now, to accelerate this trend. Last year, we created our first manufacturing innovation institute in Ohio. A once-shuttered warehouse is now a state-of-the art lab where new workers are mastering the 3D printing that has the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything."
Most projects are on a time constraint and don't have the time to wait a week or more for necessary parts. Timing is the most important asset to a 3D printing company, as it is has the potential to cut manufacturing times to pieces. Solid Prototype provides their clients with a quote within a few hours, 3D prints their parts in either plastic or rubber (simultaneously, if needed), and then ships them directly within 24 hours nationwide. "Quality is equally as important as timing when it comes to ideas," says Barton. Solid Prototype prints all their client's parts at 16micron accuracy using Stratasys/Objet machines. Today, colleagues, customers, and investors alike can all tell the difference between an off-the-shelf part and a brittle, scratchy prototype. "Don't come up short with a part that looks cheap, instead fool them all with a functional replica", replies Barton. Next-day service, engineering grade plastics, flexible rubber parts, full assembly printing, transparent materials, over-molding, seals and gaskets, and more. It seems that Solid Prototype has found the solution to the manufacturing problem the President just referenced.

Bears players get excited after Justin Tucker's 61-yard field goal
The Ravens weren't the only team to get excited about
Tucker's 61-yard kick sealed the win for Baltimore and dropped the Lions to 7-7 on the season, giving Chicago sole possession of first place in the NFC North.
Bears linebacker Lance Briggs reacted like most Ravens fans did:
Yeeaaahhhhh!!!!!!— Lance Briggs (@LanceBriggs) December 17, 2013
Safety Anthony Walters wants to send Tucker something for Christmas:
Does anyone know where Justin Tucker lives? I'm sending him a gift.— Anthony Walters (@Anthony_Walters) December 17, 2013
Defensive tackle Henry Melton, who's out for the season with a torn ACL, took to Twitter to show support for Tucker, a fellow Texas Longhorn:
December 17, 2013
Cornerback Tim Jennings showed some admiration for Tucker's leg and used a lot of exclamation marks to do it:
Omg!!!!! What a leg!!!— Tim Jennings (@HennOrJenn26) December 17, 2013
With the Lions loss, the Bears can win the NFC North by winning their final two games. Chicago could also win the division on Sunday with a win over Philadelphia and losses by Detroit and Green Bay. The Packers host the Steelers and the Lions host the Giants.
The NFC North could also come down to Week 17 when Chicago hosts Green Bay at Soldier Field.

His letter to the EC claiming that Yeddyurappa has been expelled angers KJP
Even as the Karnataka Janata Paksha State president and former Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa was busy with his efforts to destabilise the Bharatiya Janata Party government through the resignations of the rebel MLAs on Tuesday, his own political outfit plunged into chaos for a brief period following reports of an internal crisis.
The confusion started with the circulation of copies of the letter written to the Election Commission of India on January 3 by KJP founder president Padmanabha Prasanna Kumar stating that the party's emergency executive committee that met on December 20 had expelled Mr. Yeddyurappa and appointed him (Mr. Kumar) as the State president.
This triggered chaos as several TV channels aired the contents of the letter. Within hours, the KJP removed Mr. Kumar from the party.
KJP State general secretary Rajendra Gokhale issued a press release terming the reports of Mr. Yeddyurappa's expulsion as "false". He alleged that such reports were being fabricated by the Opposition parties, which were unable to tolerate the progress of the KJP.
Indicating that Mr. Kumar did not have powers to sack Mr. Yeddyurappa, he said the Election Commission had stated in a letter dated January 15 that the KJP constitution did not provide for him to hold the post of the "main founder president of the party".
Mr. Gokhale also furnished a copy of the Election Commission's letter in this regard to support his point.
However, the episode has shown that even the newly formed KJP is not free from infighting.

DAVAO CITY—Tycoon Henry Sy's mall business in Mindanao is getting a big boost from big business process outsourcing (BPO) firms that are diversifying their talent pool by setting up shop in "next wave" cities outside Metro Manila.
The impetus is not just from the retail spending that naturally thrives with increasing consumer affluence but from leasing space to BPOs within its shopping mall complex, replicating the synergy model adopted by mall development arm SM Prime Holdings in key Metro Manila locations like Mall of Asia, Megamall and North Edsa.
Washington-based BPO firm Ibex Global Philippines, formerly TRG, is set to open a new 592-seater hub inside SM Lanang Premier mall here in December, having committed to lease 3,500 square meters of space, SM Lanang mall manager Therese Lapena-Manalo said in an interview.
Teleperformance, which has set up shop in SMPH's older mall in Davao, will hire about 2,200 people and lease 11,000 square meters of office space at SM City Davao, SM Supermalls assistant vice president and head of Mindanao operations Debby Go said in an interview. A total of 24,000 sqm of space is earmarked for BPO locators in this mall.
SM City Davao has been in operation for 11 years while SM Lanang Premier opened only in September last year. SMPH has two other malls in Mindanao—one in General Santos City and another in Cagayan de Oro.
To date, Mindanao accounts for 3 to 4 percent of SMPH's total business. The share has been modest because even with the opening of two new malls last year—Lanang and GenSan, operations in Luzon have also expanded substantially, Go said.
"For this year, I think we will have a huge increase in our revenue and profit, not only because of the two malls (opened) but also with the entry of BPOs," Go said.
Ibex Global is now building its staff in Davao and prior to the actual start of operations, the BPO firm has rented space from SM for its recruitment and training.
SM Lanang Premier is one of the most stylish malls built by SMPH so far and much different from the big-box type structure of its old malls in Metro Manila. Its facade is accentuated by the folded building concept, inspired by the traditional Japanese art of folding paper known as Origami.
Another anchor tenant at SM Lanang is the SMX Davao Convention Center, which can seat 700 to 5,320 guests at any given time. It has function rooms with total floor area of 4,476 sqm targeting corporate affairs, graduation ceremonies, product launches and even large-scale social events.
During a tour of the SM group's Davao projects, Go told reporters that the group put up SMX in the Lanang complex to create synergy with nearby 204-room mid-scale Park Inn by Radissons Hotel, which opened only last March.
Asked about the overall strategy of SM Prime for Mindanao, Go said this would be to maintain the string brand equity by offering as much variety of retailers and services as Metro Manila has.
Late last year, SMPH president Hans Sy announced plans to build five more malls in Mindanao within the next four years, particularly in CDO and in Butuan. He noted that despite a smaller consumer base, Mindanao has stronger buying power.
SM Lanang currently has a daily foot traffic of 20,000 on weekdays and 40,000 on weekends while the old SM mall has daily foot traffic of 25,000 on weekdays and 40,000 on weekends.

Brazilian Crab And Black-Eyed Pea Acarajé Recipe
Sep 21, 2012 1:01 pm
Nosh on these snacks from the streets of Brazil
My great (late) friend, famed newspaperman Johnny Apple, has written that these fritters are found in abundance from lacey white dressed street vendors on the streets of Bahía and in particular from the colonial district called the "Pelourinho," whose very name is a reminder of harsher days; pelourinho means "flogging post" in Portuguese. These snacks are often served with a somewhat complex Brazilian sauce called vatapá but I have stuffed them with an equally delicious crab salad.
Also read: The Culture Of Caribbean Fritters
Servings: 50 fritters
1 pound dried black-eyed peas
1 red onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 Scotch bonnet, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 ounce dried shrimp, finely chopped (optional but authentic)
3 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper
8 ounces cleaned crabmeat
2 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
canola oil, for frying
- Soak the peas in water to cover for 24 hours, changing the water once. Drain the peas and add fresh water to cover the next day.
- Rub the peas between the palms of your hands to remove the outer skins. Allow the peas to settle and some of the skins will float to the top. Pull the skins from on top of the peas and drain off the water.
- Blend the peas in a food processor with the onion. (Blend until it resembles oatmeal in texture).
- Combine the pea mixture with the Scotch bonnet, dried shrimp, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Heat a fryer with canola oil to 350º.
- Using two oval spoons form some of the pea mixture into ½ ounce oval shapes.
- Carefully drop them in the fryer and cook until golden, about 1 minute, turning them from time to time with a slotted spoon. Drain them on paper towels and keep them warm in a low oven as you work.
- Dress the crabmeat with the mayonnaise.
- Split open the "acarajé" and make a little "sandwich" out of each one by filling them with the crab mixture (1 teaspoon each).
Note: You may want to alter crab mixture with other things like mustard or chopped scallions.

New push for most in US to get at least 1 HIV test
Tuesday - 11/20/2012, 7:22am EST
By LAURAN NEERGAARD
AP Medical Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) - There's a new push to make testing for the AIDS virus as common as cholesterol checks.
Americans ages 15 to 64 should get an HIV test at least once _ not just people considered at high risk for the virus, an independent panel that sets screening guidelines proposed Monday.
The draft guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force are the latest recommendations that aim to make HIV screening simply a routine part of a check-up, something a doctor can order with as little fuss as a cholesterol test or a mammogram. Since 2006, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also has pushed for widespread, routine HIV screening.
Yet not nearly enough people have heeded that call: Of the more than 1.1 million Americans living with HIV, nearly 1 in 5 _ almost 240,000 people _ don't know it. Not only is their own health at risk without treatment, they could unwittingly be spreading the virus to others.
The updated guidelines will bring this long-simmering issue before doctors and their patients again _ emphasizing that public health experts agree on how important it is to test even people who don't think they're at risk, because they could be.
"It allows you to say, `This is a recommended test that we believe everybody should have. We're not singling you out in any way,'" said task force member Dr. Douglas Owens of Stanford University and the Veterans Affairs Palo Alto Health Care System.
And if finalized, the task force guidelines could extend the number of people eligible for an HIV screening without a copay in their doctor's office, as part of free preventive care under the Obama administration's health care law. Under the task force's previous guidelines, only people at increased risk for HIV _ which includes gay and bisexual men and injecting drug users _ were eligible for that no-copay screening.
There are a number of ways to get tested. If you're having blood drawn for other exams, the doctor can merely add HIV to the list, no extra pokes or swabs needed. Today's rapid tests can cost less than $20 and require just rubbing a swab over the gums, with results ready in as little as 20 minutes. Last summer, the government approved a do-it-yourself at-home version that's selling for about $40.
Free testing is available through various community programs around the country, including a CDC pilot program in drugstores in 24 cities and rural sites.
Monday's proposal also recommends:
_Testing people older and younger than 15-64 if they are at increased risk of HIV infection,
_People at very high risk for HIV infection should be tested at least annually.
_It's not clear how often to retest people at somewhat increased risk, but perhaps every three to five years.
_Women should be tested during each pregnancy, something the task force has long recommended.
The draft guidelines are open for public comment through Dec. 17.
Most of the 50,000 new HIV infections in the U.S. every year are among gay and bisexual men, followed by heterosexual black women.
"We are not doing as well in America with HIV testing as we would like," Dr. Jonathan Mermin, CDC's HIV prevention chief, said Monday.
The CDC recommends at least one routine test for everyone ages 13 to 64, starting two years younger than the task force recommended. That small difference aside, CDC data suggests fewer than half of adults under 65 have been tested.
"It can sometimes be awkward to ask your doctor for an HIV test," Mermin said _ the reason that making it routine during any health care encounter could help.
But even though nearly three-fourths of gay and bisexual men with undiagnosed HIV had visited some sort of health provider in the previous year, 48 percent weren't tested for HIV, a recent CDC survey found. Emergency rooms are considered a good spot to catch the undiagnosed, after their illnesses and injuries have been treated, but Mermin said only about 2 percent of ER patients known to be at increased risk were tested while there.
Mermin calls that "a tragedy. It's a missed opportunity."

1. Can fat-free food also contribute to weight gain?
Yes. Certain fat free foods are trade gimmicks. The form of fat used is hydrogenated (scientifically termed as Trans Fatty Acids) which have debilitating effects like weight gain, heart diseases and other health related problems. Always check ingredient list at the bottom of the label, anything 'hydrogenated' is avoidable. However, some food products can be technologically converted to low fat products such as skimmed milk. In controlled quantity they are recommended options for cutting down invisible fat from dairy products.
2. What does it mean when we opt for fat free ice-cream, fat free soup, meal replacement shakes, low carb bars, fat free salad dressings? Do all these contribute to weight gain as well?
Fat free ice-cream is made from skimmed or fat free milk; however the sugar is not controlled. Calories then come from carbohydrate of sugar which is eventually converted to fat and stored in our body. It's basically a catch 22 situation!
Fat free soups contain excessive preservatives and sodium. So as a healthy option they are not classic additions to your meal.
Meal replacements and low carb bars are a boon to an individual who skips meals and has long gaps between two meals. If the right ratio of carbohydrate and proteins is maintained then meal replacements do help in preventing muscle loss thus, indirectly favoring fat loss by maintaining your metabolism.
Fat free salad dressings, again if made from hydrogenated fats then will show low calories on the label but would eventually favor health problems.
3. What is the ideal way to lose weight and keep in off? Does it depend on making low fat choices?
Fat free diet is not Fat loss diet. Low fat food products are beneficial when the science of the ingredients is understood. Carbohydrate, Protein and Fat are essential in the right quantity, quality and time of the day. Overdoing or ignoring any one nutrient affects the balance of an entire meal. So don't exclude any nutrient. Rather than being a prey to trade gimmicks, make sensible choices; understand the effect of nutrients by consulting a nutritionist.
4. Which foods are calorie free?
There is no term like calorie free. Every nutrient has calories (carbohydrate, proteins or fats) and any naturally occurring food will have one of these nutrients. So no food can be calorie free (Sorry! But this means there are no guilt-free foods. Unless its manufactured, processed, chemically induced and artificial, all foods have calories).
5. Is it really necessary to count every calorie one takes in?
No. Counting calories in food is like counting money in RBI. You either know it best with experience or you will be lost in numbers. I suggest, know your requirement and play around a range. Not too less and not too many.
Keep Learning! Stay Healthy!

"Am I beer commercial hot? No. But I love a challenge." — Anna Kendrick
1. The folks at Newcastle really wanted to make a Super Bowl commercial.
2. But…
3. And even though Ms. Kendrick thought it was strange she was asked to be a hot "beer commercial" girl in the first place, she knew should could add something of her own.
4. But since the project fell through she will be heading back to her more indie roots. Yet, sadly, as she notes:
5. Touché, Ms. Kendrick. Watch the video here.
6. FYI, you are totally "beer commercial hot," Ms. Kendrick. Most. Definitely.

|Mike Keenan on D&C: Dwayne Roloson 'a calming influence' for Lightning
|05.23.11 at 9:15 am ET
Former Bruins coach Mike Keenan joined the Dennis & Callahan show Monday morning to talk about the Eastern Conference finals, which resume Monday night at TD Garden with the tiebreaking Game 5. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Keenan, who coached the Bruins in the 2000-01 season, one of eight NHL teams he helmed, said the B's have to be hurting after blowing a big lead in Saturday's Game 4 loss to the Lightning.
"How many times do you have a 3-0 lead in a series? And Boston knows this from Philadelphia [last year], it was 3-0, I hope it doesn't end up the same result. But you have a chance to take the other team out. Then you have to look at yourself and say, 'What happened?' "
Lightning backup goalie Mike Smith came off the bench and did not allow a goal Saturday, but Keenan said he would go back to Dwyane Roloson for Game 5. "He's a calming influence for this group," Keenan said of Roloson. "He's got good leadership skills."
Keenan said another reason to return to Roloson is to inspire the rest of the team. "There's a great deal of respect, the players really like Roloson," Keenan said. "And to show that they do, they're going to come out and play really hard for him. And that's part of what you take into account as well."

From the Publisher"The sixth edition of Soils and Soil Fertility provides a thorough introduction to soil science as well as the fundamentals of soil fertility, and is an appropriate text for undergraduate students in agricultural and/or environmental sciences...Each chapter is well organized...and features boldface subheadings to assist in quickly locating topics of interest...In summary, this textbook is comprehensive, readable, and does not bog down in vernacular or complex reference tables. Thus, it is an ideal choice for support of an introductory soil science course." M.J.Schlossberg, Dept. of Crop and Soil Sciences, The Pennsylvania State University in the Journal of Environmental Quality Volume 34, No. 6, November-December 2005.
"Soils and Soil Fertility by Troeh and Thompson would be an excellent textbook for soils and related classes. This is a very intelligent book full of supportive black and white illustrations within the text.
