Willie Alexander Film & Performance In Gloucester This Thursday
Rob Newton submits ~
Ferrini film and concert celebrate Gloucester's own Willie Alexander
On Thursday, May 24th at 7:30pm, The Cape Ann Community Cinema at 21 Main Street in Gloucester will present Hello Gloucester followed by a live set by Willie Alexander and the Persistence Of Memory Orchestra. Tickets are $15.00 ($13.50 for Cinema Members), and are available either at the box office or online at www.CapeAnnCinema.com.
January 12, 2013 was a memorable day in rock-and-roll. On that day, Governor Deval Patrick issued a citation that acknowledged Bay State rocker Willie Loco Alexander on the punk vanguard's 70th birthday. His significant other, Anne Rearick, had planned a "surprise party du la monde" at Jimmy Tingle's old theater in Somerville and dozens of musicians showed up to honor Willie and play tunes he has written over the past 5 decades.
Bands at the January celebration included Rockport's A-Train Orchestra, Moose Savage, Breadman, Jon Hardy and the Bags, Birdsongs of the Mezozoic, Reddy Teddy, Barrence Whitfield, the Nervous Eaters, Rupert Webster (all the way from London), Kenne Highland, Dave Sag, Jon Macy, Asa Brebner, John Powhida, Frank Rowe, Dennis Brennan, Peter Wolf, Mission of Burma, Andrea Gillis, Persistence of Memory, Roger Miller, John Macey and Gloucester's own The Boyfriends. All were there to honor a guy who has spent his life pushing the rock and letting it roll down on the hearts of Boston music lovers.
The film is produced by the Gloucester Writers Center video archive and directed by Gloucester filmmaker Henry Ferrini. The Gloucester Writers Center was founded to celebrate, preserve and promote the future of Gloucester's rich literary legacy. Housed in the former home of poet Vincent Ferrini (1913-2007), the GWC is dedicated to fostering the tradition of local poetic investigation practiced by Ferrini and his friend and renowned Gloucester poet, Charles Olson (1910-1970).
Through a variety of community-based programming, including literary readings, workshops, youth programs, topical writers' talks and conferences, and a residency program, the GWC will serve as a gathering place and resource center for local and international writers in all genres, fields and realms of interest.
The Cape Ann Community Cinema's full schedule can be found online at www.CapeAnnCinema.com, with the week's offerings available by phone at (978) 282-1988.
OK, school started & it's after Labor Day so you think the Summer festival season is over, right? Wrong!
This Saturday (9/8) is Noise Magazine 31st Anniversary Fete starring Preacher Jack, Willie Alexander and T Max @ the Dog Bar.
If you missed these guys back in the spring, you DO NOT want to miss this! If you were there, you'll want to go again. These guys ROCK!
And don't forget Rob Newton's Cape Ann Community Cinema music/movie festival Fall into the Rhythm starts next Tuesday with La Cenerentola. Check this out from the Opera in Cinema website: A Live Fairy Tale, a stunning new film-opera event from producer Andrea Andermann, has been called "A kaleidoscopic fairytale suspended between Mozart and Disney with a hint of noir" by La Repubblica. Watch as Rossini's jubilant take on the story of Cinderella unfolds in real castles and ballrooms in Europe, and through lush, never-before-seen animation. Starring Lena Belkina as Cenerentola.
It's still summer folks, as you can see by the fact that we have six live music choices tonight. Check the full live music schedule here.

Gloucester legends: Willie Alexander's latest CD focuses on poetry and life of Vincent Ferrini
By William Routhier/Beacon Correspondent
Gloucester – First thought, best thought, always. Write free-flowing, spontaneous prose. Give birth to artistic creation in the heartbeat of the moment, the now, the ever-present now.
These were credos of Beat writers Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, and that spirit of unbridled creativity is alive and well in Gloucester musician Willie Alexander.
Alexander, who played with The Lost, the last version of the Velvet Underground, his own Boom Boom Band and The Persistence of Memory Orchestra, is a Boston music legend. Stephen King put Alexander's song "Mass Ave." at number 13 on his list of top 25 best rock songs of all time.
Thin and fit at 66, Alexander displays the buoyant energy of an edgy young rocker, but also carries with him the calm wisdom of a man who's learned what is valuable and lasting. For Alexander, a major part of what is valuable and lasting is the city where he was born and now lives, Gloucester.
Alexander spent the first five years of his life in Gloucester, where his father was the minister of the Baptist Church, then moved to East Providence, R.I., and later to Newtonville, Mass. Just a subway ride away from Boston and Cambridge, Alexander would travel in to hear music at various music joints, like Club 47, which later became the famous Club Passim. It was just before the folk music boom, and Club 47 was a jazz club, home to hipsters and beatniks. To read more, click here…
Willie Alexander Bass Rocks Video From The Early Eighties
Back in the eighties I heard this song on WBCN once, just once. I loved it but never found out who sang it and always wanted to find out.
Fast forward 20 plus years and I'm at the library thumbing through the cd collection and lo and behold I run across Willie Alexander's "The East Main Street Suite" cd and the third song is "Bass Rocks"
I had an idea for making a video of Back Shore photos put to Willie's song and asked his permission which he kindly granted.
But in Willie's email he asked which version I had, "The East Main Street Suite" version or "the earlier version"?
Intrigued, I checked youtube for "the earlier version"
That's when I found the following video and decided to scrap my project in favor of Willie's early eighties music video-

Did you know that Gloucester resident and bad ass Willie Alexander was a part of The Velvet Underground?
BTW Willie if you read this, I think you look like you are in way better shape now than you were back in the early eighties.

Lower Speed Limit Approved for Kingston Pike Through Sequoyah Hills
After three years of lobbying, Sequoyah Hills homeowners have finally achieved the nearly impossible: a lower speed limit for Kingston Pike. City Council voted last week to drop the speed limit from 45 mph to 40 mph for the two-mile stretch running through the pike's residential section, where cars have been driving on average around 50 mph and often speed up to 75 mph.
"We wanted 35, and we got 40," says Sequoyah Hills homeowner Allen Tate. "I'm satisfied with that. We're happy something's finally happening. The next step is enforcing the new speed limit and educating the public."
CORRECTION: City Council itself did not approve the new speed limit; it was actually Council's Traffic Calming Committee, headed by Vice Mayor Joe Bailey, that approved the change. That put the ball in the court of the city's engineering department, who will study the matter for 60-90 days, then make a recommendation to the mayor.

I saw this place on television and was so eager to try it. I made a trip from Tampa to my friends here in Miami and dragged them along. We were so disappointed. the prices were sky high for the items we ordered, service was slow. The food wasn't as spectacular at all. Not as authentic as we expected. The live music is nice but the building and decor could use an upgrade for sure. We will not be returning at all, it almost feels like false advertising.

We came for the mofongo and were not disappointed! All the food we had was awesome. The homemade hot sauce was super hot but very good. The restaurant decor is not the newest but the food and service made up for it tenfold. If you are expecting to be in and out quickly then don't come. It takes a while but that's because they make everything from scratch and well worth it.
Posted by 2foodiesmiami on 12/10/2012
The food is okay, but service is slow, food is very greasy. We ordered a variety of items from pasteles, to alcapurias, mofongo, etc. to get a taste of different things, none were unappetizing, but just too greasy overall. It's hard to find Puerto Rican food in Miami, so if you're jonesing for it, then it might be great, but if you have a sensitive stomach, beware.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/21/2012
I order one time for pick-up and guess what they charged me for the containers because I order the food for to go. I will recommend to people if they are planning to order food from this place to bring your own containers.

I never had been in Benny's Seafood Restaurant, but this weekend, my husband, my nephew, and I went eat in Benny's Seafood. The food, the atmosphere, and service were excellent. I recommend anyone who wants to eat Puerto Rico dishes visit that place.
Posted by Maria on 05/30/2011
It took a while to finally get our food but it was worth the wait! The most tender and tastiest pork, it was so tender it melts in your mouth. The flavor was out of this world! The arroz con gandules were delicious. The pastel too. And the mofongo was excellent too. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's worth the wait and the cost. The portions are quite large.
Posted by anonymous on 05/27/2009
Let me start by saying I was born and raised in Puerto Rico. I ordered an alcapurria as an appetizer. Alcapurrias are fried. They are supposed to be crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. This one was gummy, as if it had been put in the microwave....and it stank. I also ordered the mofongo with bistec. The steak was OK. Good portion, seasoned well. The mofongo had no taste. I found whole garlic cloves in the mofongo. That´s not supposed to happen since the garlic is smashed along with the plantains. The chicken broth that accompanied the mofongo was salty and tasted like it came from a can. No one at my table was happy with their food. Finally, the service could have not been worse. Our waiter would disappear for long periods of time.

To follow up on my previous item on how much trouble Republicans face with Latino (and other minority) voters, take a look at the results of the Fox News exit polls.
They show that 11 percent of voters were Latinos and that they went for President Obama by margins varying from 65 percent (those 65 years old and up) to 74 percent (18- to 29-year-olds). The fact that the youngest group–which made up 4 percent of the total electorate–is the most Democratic is especially alarming because of what it says about the future.
It should also be noted that respondents who were neither white nor African-American nor Latino made up 5 percent of the electorate. They, too, went for Obama overwhelmingly by 67 percent to 31 percent. This suggests that Asian-Americans, who like Latinos ought to be a natural Republican constituency, are strongly trending the other way.
Respondents were then asked what should happen to most illegal immigrants working in the U.S.–should they be offered a chance to apply for legal status or deported? Sixty-five percent of respondents said they should be offered a chance to apply for legal status–what Republican politicians normally characterize as an "amnesty for illegal aliens." Only 28 percent said that they should be deported. This suggests that Republicans' anti-immigration views hurt them not only with Latinos but with a broader electorate, which is more sympathetic to undocumented migrants than Republican leaders are.
As I noted earlier, it is high time that Republicans adjust their position to show that, while they want to police our borders, they are sympathetic to the plight of millions of immigrants who are already here and who will never be deported. We need to find a way to legalize their status instead of demonizing that as an "amnesty." Providing an opportunity to young people whose parents came here illegally–the aim of the DREAM Act–is a good place to start.

In that game, he represents the ascent of a much maligned franchise, and the validation of the new owner's controversial signing. Can you really argue that this team needs less of the star, be it by trade or minutes allotment? Yes. You can make these arguments when the All-Star is David Lee and the team is the Golden State Warriors.

Database Scalability: The Sharding Conflict
I'd like to write about a particularly challenging situation that happens when you try to create a distributed database — we call it the Sharding Conflict. If you have deployed a home-grown DIY database sharding solution, you may not always be aware of the ramifications of this issue. Actually, you may be receiving incorrect results to queries without even realizing it. Thankfully, ScaleBase's distributed database platform takes care of this situation for you. So, let's take a look at the problem.
Sharding and Data Distribution
Traditional databases are made up of tables of data that are related to one another. An HR application, for example, may include one table listing all employees and another table consisting of the various departments within a company. Every employee belongs to a department and every department is made up of the corresponding employees. This relationship is stored deep in the database and can be easily analyzed and queried using conventional methods, since all of the data is located in one place and is easily accessible.
In the world of the cloud, however, data is distributed, meaning information is spread across various servers (or instances). While data distribution is necessary for scalability, it runs the risk of having related data in different partitions or shards. In spite of this, related data is constantly requested together which can make query processing a great challenge. Obviously, the ideal situation would be to have all related data in the same shard or partition, but in some cases it's not possible.
So what is a "shard conflict"?
At ScaleBase, we have coined the term 'shard conflict' to describe a situation where a given statement cannot be executed as it is, unchanged, on all (or one) partitions and be counted on to yield a truly correct result.
In order to make this concept a bit clearer, let's look at some shard conflicts with an example using a database with tables for departments and employees.
As seen in Example 1 below, the 'Department Table' consists of the elements: 'id' and 'name', whereas the 'Employee Table' consists of the elements: 'id', 'first name', 'last name', 'department id', 'salary', and 'manager_id'.
Suppose we want to shard both of these tables and we choose 'id' as the 'Department Table' shard key and, similarly, 'id' as the 'Employee Table' shard key.
'Select e.first_name, e.last_name, d.name from employee e join department d on e.department_id=d.id '
The statement above presents a shard conflict due to the fact that there is no guarantee that all employees are in the same shard as their corresponding departments. That is to say, data concerning individual employees' departments may exist in a different partition than the data about an employee.
In Example 2, below, on the other hand, we chose 'department_id' as the 'Employee Table' shard key, in order to resolve the conflict from Example 1. The join query was optimized as a result of the shards' orthogonal arrangement of 'department.id'. In other words, all department-related data was stored in the same partition. Now there are no cross-joins between partitions and we can safely execute our statements on all partitions and append the results into one result.
Wait a Minute…There's Still a Conflict
It is clear from these examples that when dealing with a foreign key and two tables, a common key can be utilized to resolve certain conflicts, though that doesn't address the situation all the time.
Suppose we want to execute another statement:
'Select e.first_name, e.last_name, m.first_name, m.last_name from employee e join employee m on e.manager_id=m.id'
In this case, we will join the 'Employee Table' together with itself to find an employee's manager. While managers are still, in fact, employees, there is no guarantee they are in the same partition. This is because the employee tables are not capable of being partitioned by both 'id' and 'manager_id' at the same time (though a foreign key clearly exists between the employee table and itself).
So, as illustrated above, distributed data can become quite complex if not handled correctly. It's the kind of problem that isn't always obvious, and can yield incorrect results without you easily knowing it. ScaleBase's distributed data platform takes care of this for you to ensure your queries always yield the correct result..
A number of other querying challenges can come into play when working with distributed databases, however, we will save that discussion for my next post.
If you'd like to learn more about ScaleBase's approach to data distribution, we have several whitepapers you can look at. Or contact us.

The Moose
May: The College unveils the new governance structure which came out of the 15-month long Self-study. It includes an Academic Assembly and a Community Senate in an innovative structure in which students, faculty and administrators hold seats in each of the legislative bodies. This mixing of students in the governing bodies of the College reflected the spirit of student involvement of the 1960s and 1970s.
Other programs begin as part of the college's attempt to explore untapped markets of students. The new programs include Summer School Without Walls; College Expectations, a summer program for college-bound high school students; Coach Terry Bocian's athletic summer camps; and Bruce Early's summer music camps.
New majors are added to the curriculum, including Communication, Geography, and Religious Studies.
Some old programs are phased out. The theater program in the Carriage House has to be discontinued because of fire marshal concerns about the building. The Aquinas Institute for Religious Education (AIRS) program is discontinued.
At left: The innovative Encore Program made it possible for mature women to complete their college degrees. With flexible and unusual class hours, Encore responded to the special needs of women who had either never begun college or who had left their degrees incomplete as they raised their families in the 1950's and 1960's. In the forefront of making educational opportunities available to women, Aquinas's Encore program led to many calls of "Yay, Mom!" on graduation day and launched women into careers.
The Eastown Community Association is founded in 1973 and is funded for the first three years of its existence by a grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, obtained by the College. Aquinas professors Tom Edison, Linda Easley and Michael Williams, and Sr. James Rau produce "Eastown!," a nationally distributed book which is a case-study of how a not-for-profit institution like Aquinas can preserve the neighborhood in which it is situated.
Ms. Betty Jennings tries her hand at the harp during
one of the early Ireland program semesters.

Foreign travel: Aquinas students (from left) Alice Popiel, Tim Wessley, Janet Robach and others join Sr. Thomasine Bugala O.P. and a Zen Buddhist monk for a tea ceremony in Kyoto, Japan.
Bernadette Robach, Mary Jo Muench, Michelle Robach, Tom Engebretsen (from left) and Sr. Thomasine Bugala O.P. have tea with a Buddhist monk in Kyoto, Japan, 1974. For many years, Sr. Thomasine helped Aquinas graduates get English language teaching positions in Japan.
At left: In the 1975-76 season, the Aquinas College "Tommies" become "the Saints" after African-American athletes were taunted on the road for being "Toms." In those politically charged times, the name had acquired negative connotations, and the nickname "Saints" was chosen by a student-conducted poll and has been in use since.
Emeritus College: Emeritus College begins in late 1975 with an exploratory program of seminars aimed at seniors led by professor Ken Marin. It soon becomes clear that seniors do not want programs focused solely on retirement issues but have a wide-ranging interests in the arts, politics and other academic topics. The Emeritus program becomes one of the first educational programs in the United States to focus on serving the educational needs and interests of the over-fifty population.
The Master of Management program is accredited. The success of the Career Action Program led the college to explore offering a graduate business degree, but one that would not focus on MBA-style number crunching. Keeping with the college's humanistic tradition, the Master of Management degree gives students the skills they need to advance their careers by learning to better manage employees, do strategic planning, and effectively motivate workers. Small class, sizes, convenient course times, and flexible scheduling - hallmarks of Aquinas at the time--made the program a success from the start.
Internships: The 1970s saw a rise in the number of preprofessional internships offered as part of a student's preparation for careers. Here a student intern works in a laboratory.
Coach Terry Bocian becomes Athletic Director, and women's coach Pattie Tibaldi leads teams to victory after victory in the 1970's and 1980's.
After a fire, the former stable is renovated as the Pastoral Center. It's name is changed to Bukowski Pastoral Center in 1989 to honor the recently-deceased former president who served the college for over thirty years.

Urges Microsoft and Cisco to Reconsider China. This week saw two disappointing decisions by two major American companies, Microsoft and Cisco, that appear to be choosing to become little tech helpers to China's repressive regime rather than choosing to be a force for good.
For Cisco, it's more of the same. For Microsoft, it's a disappointing turn. China's Internet censorship is perhaps the most pervasive and its filtering system most sophisticated. Breaching Trust: An analysis of surveillance and security practices on China's TOM-Skype platform.

However, some people in mainland China are buying software for them to access Google, Facebook,etc. This software is generally not very expensive.

It would seem that LED technology is, again, evolving to greater extremes. I recently heard about a British company that is currently designing an LED-based wallpaper. Yes, I just said wallpaper.
Apparently, the wallpaper uses a chemical coating that glows, lighting up a room like natural sunlight would. The coating somehow utilizes organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), so the wallpaper comes with all the energy saving and efficiency LEDs bring. Interestingly, an electrical current will run through the wallpaper, but it is reportedly safe to touch.
The development of OLEDs hasn't quite reached popularity yet largely due to the fact that they are traditionally short-lived. The UK company believes, however, that it has found a way to extend the lifespan of OLEDs beyond that of fluorescent lights.
Consequently, the company was just awarded $720,000 by the UK's government-based nonprofit, the Carbon Trust, in order to continue researching and developing the new LED technology which is projected to enter the marketplace in 2012, conveniently, just in time for the United States' nationwide ban of incandescent bulbs.
LED technology is truly doing some amazing things. For more information concerning the advances of LEDs around the world, check out our LEDs News section.

DAKAR (AlertNet) – Benin is taking steps to ensure there is less devastation from seasonal floods this year as rainfall forecasts suggest the country is at high risk of flooding between now and October, an official said.
Eugene Hountondji, who is in charge of disaster management in the interior ministry, said authorities have carried out awareness campaigns across the country to advise people living in wetlands and swamps to move to higher ground during the rainy season.
The government has also prepositioned stocks of medicine, first aid kits, tents and trained personnel who can respond when floods hit communities in the country.
"We hope to provide rapid assistance as needed and we also hope to see a drop in the death toll, as well as less destruction than in 2010," Hountondji told AlertNet in Dakar.
Last year 680,000 people were uprooted from their homes and more than 40 others were killed after heavy rains led to the worst flooding in the small West African nation since 1963.
Floods are common in Benin where rivers often swell in the rainy season but some experts say the scale of last year's flooding was bigger and could be related to climate change.
Heavy rains that started in June have already caused severe flooding in some municipalities causing homes built with earth to collapse. As part of the contingency plans, local mayors have constructed tents for 500 households which were hit by the floods.
"We have identified places which are on high ground where we can pitch tents we prepositioned to house displaced people in flood-prone areas," said Hountondji, who heads the safety and civil protection training service in the interior ministry.
Disaster management authorities have urged mayors to prevent people from building on waterways and exits. They have also been asked to supervise the construction of houses to ensure there are solid foundations and walls as part or risk-reduction schemes developed with international aid agencies, he said.
The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Society (IFRC) says despite early warning systems and monitoring in 22 municipalities that are most prone to repeated flooding, the extent of the recent flooding has been overwhelming.
"The flood within the Federal Capital, Cotonou, forced residents out of their homes to the road side, as well as in schools which are now overcrowded, with the possibility of resulting epidemics if necessary actions are not taken," the IFRC said in a statement.
The floods destroyed pipes that supply safe drinking water and contaminated wells rendering water unfit for consumption. Some families are forced to consume stream and even flood water exposing them to serious water and diarrhoeal diseases, the IFRC warned.
The IFRC has allocated $215,860 from its disaster relief emergency fund to provide help to 5,000 people in Benin based on forecasts of heavy rainfall and flooding by the African Centre for Meteorological Applications (ACMAD).

Northern continues turnaround with easy win over Jordan
DURHAM – Northern High School and first-year coach R.J. Wilson capped a climb from the abyss to a near-certain state 4-A playoff berth Friday night with an easy homecoming win over Jordan 42-7.
Playing on Durham County Memorial Stadium's artificial turf, the Knights completed a rain-drenched odyssey from an 0-6 non-conference start against perhaps the most difficult six-game schedule in the state, to improve to 3-7, 3-1 in the PAC-6 4-A with only one game remaining in the regular season.
The Knights' seven losses – they also lost in conference play to No. 27-ranked (4-A) Hillside – have all come against teams ranked in the top 32 in their respective classifications.
"The tough non-conference schedule did make us better," Wilson said. "Losing can do two things to a team. You can lose (the team) or the team can come together and bond and get better, and that's just what happened with us."
Things have been different against weaker PAC-6 competition. Error-plagued Jordan dropped to 1-9, 0-4 PAC-6 after Friday's loss.
Kicking game errors put Jordan in an early and inescapable hole.
On the opening kickoff to the Jordan 28, Jordan did not cover the free ball and Northern's Micah Sessoms grabbed it to give the Knights possession on the 28.
The Knights missed a 42-yard field goal try, but came right back on Jordan's next possession when a bad snap forced punter Picasso Keaton into a 6-yard punt which Isaiah Townsend grabbed at the Jordan 31 and returned for a score.
On the ensuing kickoff, return man Clayton Cockerham was hammered by Northern's Devin Smith. Cockerham fumbled and Leondray Howell recovered for Northern at the Jordan 38.
Zaaqhai Mann's quarterback sneak with 4:47 left in the first quarter capped the 38-yard scoring drive and Northern led 14-0.
"Mistake after mistake after mistake … we killed ourselves," Jordan coach LaDwaun Harrison said.
Jordan finally hung onto a kickoff and Rahim Winston's seven-yard scoring run capped a 58-yard drive on the final play of the first quarter to make it 14-7, but the kicking game bit Jordan again.
Marcus Starr returned Gyasi Edwards' kickoff 88 yards for a score on the first play of the second quarter for a 21-7 Northern edge.
The kicking woes continued as Northern's Atavion Oliver blocked a Keaton punt in the second quarter to give the Knights possession at the Jordan 47, but Northern didn't convert it into points.
Northern led 28-7 on the half as Alphonso Gbojueh scored from the 5 and Starr added a 25-yard run early in the fourth to make it 35-7 as the Knights steadily pulled away.
Jordan had one final drive in it, getting to the Northern 13 with five minutes left in the game. But Matt Gampe's pass was picked off by Oliver at the 4 and Oliver returned it 96 yards for a score with 4:55 to play.
NOTES – Roxboro Person (3-6, 1-2), whose road game at Riverside (6-3, 2-1) was postponed Friday and will be made up at 6 p.m. Monday at Riverside, is the only team with a shot at ousting Northern from the playoffs.
To do it, Person would have to upset heavily favored Riverside and pull off one of the biggest upsets of the season against Hillside (7-2, 4-0) on the road Friday night and still would only tie Northern for the final of three PAC-6 state playoff berths. …

text: I know it's early to start this topic, but Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona has 7 games left with a 16 point lead according to http://www.soccerway.com/national/israel/ligat-haal/2011-2012/champion-round/ and can clinch the title with a win tomorrow. Unfortunately, because Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona would get the minimum club coefficient for a club from Israel (4.400), based on previous seasons I would expect them to be seeded in Qualifying Round 2 but unseeded in Qualifying Round 3 and Qualifying Round 4 (Playoff Round) if they get that far. To compare, Maccabi Haifa has a coefficient of 13.400 and Hapoel Tel Aviv has a coefficient of 31.400. Those two clubs were good enough that the Israeli champions was seeded in every qualifying round in 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012 since the new qualifying round format was adopted. The draw for the first two Qualifying Rounds will be in June and Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona will play their Qualifying Round 2 first leg on July 17 or 18. Edit: Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona can clinch the title tomorrow thanks to Hapoel Tel Aviv's 3 point penalty.

Come Join Your "Friends" For Dinner And Help Support
The Shooting Sports
Nearly 20 years ago, a few NRA members in Columbia, Mo., got together to discuss ways to raise money to support the shooting sports. They put together a "Friends of NRA" dinner idea. They invited NRA members and non-members from the Columbia area for a night of fun combined with raffles offering attendees the chance to win sporting art, firearms and other items donated by local sporting goods retailers and provided to them by The NRA Foundation.
It sounded like a good idea, so a host committee got to work. The NRA Foundation quickly agreed to support their efforts and that first dinner took place without a hitch. I don't know how many attended that first Friends dinner (also called FONRA) nor how much money they raised, but I do know that they could not have envisioned the success this program would achieve.
Since that first Friends of NRA dinner, thousands of volunteers have organized and held more than 14,000 events. They've been attended by more than 2.5 million NRA members, guests and family members, and raised more than $180 million that has gone directly to support the shooting sports in all 50 states.
This year, more than 180,000 people have attended more than 900 Friends of NRA events; and another 100 events will take place before the year ends. Some $18 million has been donated to The NRA Foundation, half of which will stay under The NRA Foundation control and the other half will be distributed by the state fund committee members within the community in which the funds were raised. The half distributed by the state fund committee is granted to qualifying applicants that include shooting ranges, local high school shooting teams and youth clubs to buy firearms, ammunition and uniforms, and to support the activities of young people just getting started in the shooting sports.
Our six NRA officers cannot possibly attend all of these events, but we try to attend some when we travel. It's one of the most enjoyable things I do for the NRA. I've never attended one where everyone wasn't having a great time. They are like family gatherings or reunions where NRA members, their guests and friends get together to bond and share stories about shooting, hunting and having fun. I have seen business owners, teachers, several generations of family and even two local candidates sparring to see who can contribute the most at auction time.
The more than 25,000 volunteers who donate time to the local committees that organize these events are serious about reaching their fundraising goals and they devote an inordinate amount of time and effort to ensuring a successful, fun-filled event. Many of them have worked together for a decade or more to organize local functions that attract anywhere from 100 attendees to more than a thousand.
The result is that the Friends of NRA program stands as the most successful financial undertaking of its kind. Even the hard economic times in which we now find ourselves haven't stopped attendees from giving to support the shooting sports. This year we are projecting that more money will be raised than last year or the year before, it's that important to the millions of NRA supporters.
I'll never forget the first Friends dinner I attended as an NRA officer. I showed up and went to the registration desk to identify myself to the volunteer in charge. I told her that I'd been asked to say a few words at the dinner. She looked at me and said, "That's fine, but unless you come up with forty bucks you aren't going to get anything to eat." Needless to say, she got my money.
But the money raised by the amazing volunteers isn't the whole story. They are much more than simple fundraising events and far more important to the NRA family than anyone attending that first dinner could have foreseen.
If you have not yet attended a Friends of NRA event, try it for fun or even better, join a local committee. You can find a committee near you by visiting the website www.friendsofnra.org and "clicking" on your state for the dates and locations of the events near you. And when you're traveling and have a free evening, do what I do. Attend a local event. You'll have a great time, help us raise the money needed to promote our values, meet new friends and swap stories with folks who share your commitment to the shooting sports and the Second Amendment.
See you there!

During the 2013 Ashe County Republican Convention on Saturday, March 16, long-time party chair John Wheeler stepped down and was replaced by new chair Mary Desautels.
During his farewell speech, Wheeler urged the party to redefine its image and return to its roots of protecting the rights of the people from the government.
"The libertarian wing is the swing-voter wing of the Republican Party," said Wheeler. "The Republican Party is going to have to make peace with itself."
"If the Republican Party doesn't change, we will be replaced by a new party just like how our party replaced the Whigs," said Wheeler.
The new Republican Party Chair Mary Desautels made similar remarks at the meeting. Among other things, she said the Republican Party needs to oppose entitlement spending, but also said the less-fortunate should be assisted by private funding like charities and church donations.
"We're not saying we don't want to fund these programs," said Desautels. "But we understand the difference in function between family, churches and government."
Several of Ashe County's district representatives also attended the convention, including Congresswoman Virginia Foxx and Jonathan Jordan, the District 93 House representative.
"There's a thing going around saying we could have ended Obamacare. That's not true," said Foxx. "We have voted 33 times to repeal Obamacare already. We're doing everything we can to repeal Obamacare."
Foxx also said the party should focus on smaller goals rather than a "perfect deal," where the Republican Party gets everything it wants. She said the party should fight for every yard.
"I'm a receiver on a football team, and I see I can't get a touchdown, so do I just sit down or give the ball to the other team? Any football player would go as far as they could go," said Foxx.
Jordan also gave an update about some of the state's legislative accomplishments in 2012.
Jordan reminded the audience about the controversial decision to turn down Medicaid expansion in North Carolina, and also said he introduced a bill for scholarship grants for disabled children.
In addition, Jordan thanked Ashe County for the support in the 2012 election.
"This is a swing district," said Jordan. "Watauga is a tough county; I lost by about 1,000. But you gave me a 2,100 vote margin in this county, and I thank you very much for that."
According to Jordan, his 2012 opponent Cullie Tarleton closed out is campaign account, signaling is withdrawal from the political ring. After the 2012 election, Tarleton said 60 percent of Ashe County voted straight-ticket for the Republican Party, a margin too much for any Democratic candidate to overcome.
During Saturday's meeting, it was revealed that, aside from the Jefferson District, the every other precinct in Ashe County had more registered Republicans than Democrats. Four precincts had more Republicans than Democrats and unaffiliated voters combined.
After the keynote speakers finished their presentations, the Ashe County Republican Party supported the following resolutions:
• The North Carolina State Legislature firmly resist and refuse any and all new calls for a Constitutional Convention for any reason whatsoever, or by any other method or variant whatsoever including the so-called "Compact for America Initiate."
• The North Carolina legislators move to nullify the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. Law 11 – 152) also known as Obamacare.
• The North Carolina legislators move to initiate legislation that would require all voters in North Carolina to display a North Carolina issued photo ID card as a requirement for voting.
• That the Ashe County Republican Party joins with the RNC to endorse rejection of the policies and strategies of the United Nations Agenda 21 at the local, state and national level and the rejection of any ICLEI grant monies attached to it.
• We strongly oppose any attempts to put our local law enforcement under any form of federal control or merging with any federal agencies.
• The Ashe County Republican Party urges U.S. congresswoman Viginia Foxx to uphold the U.S. Constitution and, once again, sign on as a co-sponsor to H.R. 75, known as "The American Restoration Act."
The Ashe County Republican Party also submitted the following names for positions within the party for 2013.
• Party positions included chairman, Mary Desautels; vice chairman, Carl Witherspoon; secretary, Phyllis Critcher; treasurer, Karen Nieto.
• At large members included Jack Moncrief, Lee McMillan, Tom Pope, Delores Miller, Lonnie Gabbard, Ed McClearen and Fred Duncan.
• Board positions for Ashe County included Ed McClearen for the board of elections, Pam Bailey for the library board, Pam Barlow for the community college board, and Claudia MacDonald from the department of social services board.
• Glen Hentschel was recommended as the 5th district delegate candidate.

Sometimes I'm a player.
I know. Hard core Amy up in these parts. Love 'em and leave 'em. But what's a girl like me supposed to do? I love them both and they both know what I like. We got all sweaty at one date. The other was spent refueling with cheap drinks.
Weirdly enough, they know about each other. And are totally cool with it.
Clearly they know there's enough Amy to go around.
Of course they do. Because they're two of my friends. And going out on dates with them is way easier than actual dating. Because they don't really care what I look like and there's no awkward end of the night involved. Win.
The first was with Annie as a guest at her gym. She called last week after a new class she attended called R.I.P.P.E.D.. I'm not sure what all the abbreviations are, but it involves 50 minutes of stretching, plyometrics, cardio, kickboxing, arms, and whatever else will get your heart rate up.
This is my summary of events:
1. It's quite obvious I haven't been in a group exercise class for at least 5 years. Awkward.
2. I can't kickbox to save my life. Or really do any move that involves more than 4 or 5 steps. The calorie burn during that section was pretty low because I was too busy laughing at myself in the mirror. Again- awkward.
3. My triceps have been super ignored. This was already known, but when the instructor kept making us "pulse" at ever move during the arms section? It's a wonder my entire arm didn't just fall off completely. Which, looking back, may have hurt less.
All in all, even with my awkward ways, it was fun to do my cross training with Annie. Definitely a switch-up in the routine- which was welcomed. Yay for date night at the gym!
Afterwards, I drove my tired butt over to Gatsby's Pub– one of the hole-in-the-walls Mon and I frequented when we were still neighbors. Cheap beer, cheap food, and quiet enough on a Monday night for us to freely conversate about everything we've been up to in the last month (Wait- month? We really need to start hanging out more. What have I been doing?!?!).
Maybe it was the cheap beer, or the mindless gossip, or the hour of strength training that just happened, but I was just as surprised as Mon was when it was time to order and I blurted out "steak quesadilla please!"What?
Here's the thing. I went through a phase in high school where I wouldn't eat beef. Really ironic, considering my dad is a cattle farmer. Maybe this was my way of rebelling as a teenager? Strange on all accounts.
Anyway, I warmed back up to the idea of hamburgers and such (who wouldn't?), but steak was something I never developed a craving for again. Probably a texture thing?
And I don't see myself ever really ordering a big t-bone anytime soon. But sometimes strips of it in a dish like this with cheese and guac? You'd do it, too…
Alright kids, wish me luck on my journey home tonight. Rain/snow/freezing rain is happening all day. Sounds about right. It is Tuesday, afterall…

Yearly Archive for 2007
Too much swerving
Keenum goes down following consecutive snaps, the victim of his own indecision, his receivers' stunning inability to get open, and the relentless pursuit of TCU strong safety Stephen Hodge and Frogs linebacker David Hawthorne. TCU tailback Justin Turner has been sidelined with a knee injury. His return is questionable. [Read More]
St. Patrick leads after a half
At halftime, the St. Patrick Celtics are up 37-32 on Madison. The first quarter was a lot of scoring by both teams, but both defenses clamped down in the second. St. Patrick looks really good so far. They are a long, athletic team, lots of height, lots of speed. The Celtics are ruling the glass […] [Read More]
And the Frogs respond
UH does it with the quick strike; TCU by methodically working its way downfield. The Frogs covered 75 yards in 11 plays and 4 minutes, 38 seconds, aided by a pass interference penalty against Rocky Schwartz that pushed TCU into UH territory. Dalton capped the march with a 3-yard TD run, faking the hand off […] [Read More]
Seemingly scrambling for his life throughout the first quarter, Keenum finally burned the Frogs with a 67-yard TD pass to Andre Kohn with eight ticks left in the period. Facing a heavy rush, Keenum scrambled to his left, then rolled to his right before spotting Kohn behind the defense. Kohn got loose when Nick Sanders […] [Read More]
Madison and St. Patrick tied after one
After one quarter, it's 21-21 between Madison and St. Patrick (NJ), the No. 1 ranked team in the nation. Dexter Strickland is leading the Celtics with 11 points and Tommy Mason-Griffin has eight for Madison. [Read More]
Blitzing and attacking
The Cougars are showing some bite defensively, coming after Dalton with the blitz. Cornerback Brandon Brinkley just missed Dalton on the Frogs' first possession, and linebacker Ernest Miller dropped Dalton for a 14-yard loss to put the Frogs behind the chains on their third drive. [Read More]
Grinding with Kelvis
TCU is intent upon keeping Quick between the tackles, so Keenum is carrying the rushing load early. The problem with that is the Horned Frogs are dominating the line of scrimmage, and Keenum has yet to complete a pass to Avery or Harvey. Quick has four carries for three yards. The Cougars have 26 yards […] [Read More]
Houston a perfect 4-0
The area teams are cleaning up at Houston vs. the Nation. Wheatley (15-5) just beat De La Salle (Minnesota) 64-53. So Houston teams are 4-0 against some of the nation's best. This is an exhibition of games that is going to bring a lot of recognition to the area and the basketball here. So far, […] [Read More]
Yep, same offense
After a quick sprint rollout pass from Keenum to Perry McDaniel yielded eight yards, Quick got just one opportunity to gain two yards. He picked up one yard on second-and-two, then watched as Terrance Ganaway was stopped for no gain on third down and Keenum had his fourth-down pass batted down by Chase Ortiz. [Read More]
Texas Bowl: Kickoff (and live blog) upcoming
Concerned about the UH offense now that Art Briles is in Waco? According to Cougars players and coaches, you shouldn't be. Perhaps the larger issue facing UH is how the defense performs with interim coach Chris Thurmond calling the plays. It took TCU eight games to get its offense untracked, but over the last four […] [Read More]

A Sialic Acid Assay in Isolation and Purification of Bovine κ-Casein Glycomacropeptide: A Review
Recent Patents on Food, Nutrition & Agriculture,
6(1): 38-44.
Takuo Nakano and Lech Ozimek
University of Alberta, Department of Agricultural, Food and Nutritional Science, Edmonton, Alberta, T6G 2P5 Canada.
Sialic acid is a carbohydrate moiety of κ-casein glycomacropeptide (GMP), which is a 64 amino acid residue C-terminal sialylated phosphorylated glycopeptide released from κ-casein by the action of chymosin during cheese making. GMP lacks aromatic amino acids including phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. Because of its unique amino acid composition and various biological activities, GMP is thought to be a potential ingredient for dietetic foods (e.g., a food for PKU patients) and pharmaceuticals. Thus, increased attention has been given to the development of techniques to purify GMP. In this review, techniques of GMP purification described in patents and scientific research papers were introduced. A sialic acid assay is the important method to track GMP isolation and purification processes, for which the thiobarbituric acid reaction with 1-propanol as a chromophore extracting solvent is an inexpensive, practical and specific technique. Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration chromatography, cellulose acetate electrophoresis, and sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis are the major techniques to identify sialic acid specific to GMP. Sephacryl S-200 chromatography and cellulose acetate electrophoresis are also used to detect GMP sialic acid in whey pearmeate and whey added commercial margarine samples. Future research includes development of an economical industrial scale method to produce high purity GMP.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 2006 President Bush sent his $439.3 billion defense budget request for fiscal 2007 to Congress today, reflecting what Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld called a solid ongoing commitment to defeating global terrorism, transforming the military while increasing its capabilities, and taking care of men and women in uniform.
The proposed budget represents a 7 percent increase over fiscal 2006 funding and incorporates findings of the Quadrennial Defense Review, Rumsfeld and Marine Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told Pentagon reporters today. The QDR, released Feb. 3, provides a blueprint for the mix of forces and capabilities needed for the century ahead.
"Like the QDR, the fiscal 2007 budget reflects the department's continuum of change as we defend our nation, engage in the long war against terrorist extremism and prepare for future potential adversaries," Rumsfeld said.
Both the QDR and the budget request demonstrate the refocusing of forces and capabilities from the past -- a time of reasonable predictability and a single major adversary, of preparedness to fight major, conventional combat campaigns with large standing forces, he noted.
Instead, the documents reflect demands of an era of surprise and complex challenges, of multiple, irregular warfare operations in various countries around the world and the powerful expeditionary capabilities needed to confront them, Rumsfeld said.
Toward that end, the fiscal 2007 budget request invests in four priority areas: prevailing in irregular warfare operations, defending the homeland against advanced threats, maintaining America's military superiority, and supporting servicemembers and their families, Rumsfeld explained.
To bolster irregular warfare operations, the budget increases the size and capabilities of special operations forces, continues the Army's modularization program and funds equipment to support their operations.
In support of this priority, the 2007 budget:
The proposed budget gives high priority to the homeland defense mission through improved missile defense capabilities, improved strategic command and control, better satellite communications for deployed troops around the world and new measures to counter the threat posed by catastrophic weapons.
In support of this effort, the 2007 budget request:
While continuing to build irregular warfighting capabilities, the budget proposal reflects the need for the United States to maintain its conventional superiority. It invests in improvements in:
The new budget request recognizes that the success of these initiatives depends on the members of the force and provides higher military pay, better housing and more quality-of-life initiatives. These include:

This looks excellent. I'll be there, weather permitting. (I live 4 hours away in the WV mountains) My sister-in-law, who lives in DC, has also signed up. It will be a true pleasure to meet you after all the cooking inspiration I've taken away from your blog. (Just made a crab meat version of the Caldo De Cammaron.)Carla B. | January 20, 2011 3:41 PM
Hi Carla,
It will be my pleasure to meet you and your sister too!! I will make sure your drive to the class is worth it.
Many thanks!! Pati
This sounds amazing. I'm wondering if you plan to share techniques and recipes that would be useful in a vegetarian kitchen?Jennifer | January 26, 2011 4:44 PM
Well, that was all kinds of fun! It was lovely to meet you, and we sat right next to your husband and Sherry, a lady who says she has known you since childhood. What a gorgeous building the Mexican Cultural Institute is, too. I was able to find yellow amarillo and red costeno chiles at Americana on the way home, so guess which mole I'm going to make very soon...Carla B. | March 2, 2011 8:51 PM
Hi Carla,
It was lovely to meet you too! Thank you for coming down to DC and I am very glad to hear you enjoyed it all. Well, good luck with the delicious Mole, let me know how it goes... ; )
Hello Chef Ruiz I found you when I found (Pati's Mexican Table) I come from a family of 9 girls and 2 boys. I am the second to the youngest and out of the 9 girls, I would say 3 of us learnd to cook from scratch and it makes me very happy that I can help my oldest sister with cooking. I look forward to all her calls with help for how to do this and that and how much of this and that. My moms parents came from Zacatecas and from there at the age of 2 came to California. As a child I was tought how to cook by my mom and grandma I always kept my eyes and ears open to every thing and how to use my hand for measuring, measuring with cups came later. But there is one secret I never was able to master and that was my grandmas mole. After my grama passed and my mom as well, I never had the oportunity, all I have is my memories. My mom had told me that my tia had her recipe and that she would not pass it on, it's sad how some family members can be so ( I'll say different) when it comes to such memerable things. Anyway she told us all that she was not sharing it with us and that she would take it to her grave and thats just what she did. So I was hoping if you can help me out with how to get ahold of a recipe close to what me and my family remember we would be so grateful, If not I understand well thank you for your time.
Respectfully yours
Carmen Ruiz in
Riverside, CA
Hi Carmen,
That's really too bad that you never were able to learn your family's recipe for mole. I love to cook with recipes that have been passed down through the generations too. Here is a link to my recipe for mole poblano:
And I will add more mole recipes later, enjoy!

These are very good!! Hope other people try to make them and enjoy them also!! ; )
I tried to make those cookies, and followed the recipe... but they ended up not holding together, really dry. It was like some kind of granola mix.
10 Ratings
Very good - thank you
simple recipe - classic taste!
Yum - so easy and loved by everyone. So popular and easy that at my daughters' school it has been adopted as THE cookie recipe by the home ec department.
These cookies were developed to send to Australian and New Zealand troops during WW!, so you can be sure they keep extra well.
The ginger is not a traditional ingredient, though, andI leave it out.
If you have trouble finding golden syrup, try a British food store or substitute maple syrup.
These are a very enjoyable, easy little cookie to make. My daughter was dubious, but we both thought they were great! Oh, and since I make my 'brown sugar' by adding molasses to dehydrated cane juice sugar, I simply added a little more to replace the golden syrup. That worked fine. Thanks so much for sharing, this one is a keeper.
Thank you, Aussie Gal! If anyone finds the mixture does not stick together, add a teaspoon of water and problem solved! This is the recipe I have been looking for.
These taste delicious, but came out very flat and greasy. I followed the directions exactly but may try them again with less butter.
