Grover Norquist, the pied piper of the anti-tax wing of the Republican Party, is back in the news again. Norquist is the architect of a no-tax-increase pledge signed by many Republicans, including the 1st District's own Rep. Phil Roe.
Democrats say the Norquist anti-tax pledge was one of the main reasons members of the so-called congressional "supercommittee" could not reach an agreement on deficit reduction. Republicans, on the other hand, argue it was the resistance of Democratic members to consider cuts to Social Security and Medicare that scuttled a deal.
Regardless of who is right, some centrist politicians are now speaking up in regard to the dangers posed by Norquist's pledge. As I noted in a column earlier this year, it may sound good for an elected official to say he or she has vowed never to raise taxes, but such pledges are disingenuous. They are also hurtful to local taxpayers.
State and federal officials have, for many years now, escaped tax increases by saddling local governments with unfunded mandates. Simply put, local taxpayers are being made to pay for all those promises.
Shifting the tax burden from one level of government to another is simply dishonest. So is misleading voters into thinking that they are not paying more in other ways to cover the government's cost of doing business. How many times have legislators increased state fees while telling voters they have not raised their taxes?
Elected officials should be completely honest when dealing with their constituents on the issues of taxes and spending. And signing Norquist's pledge is not the way to do it.
Even so, state lawmakers don't seem to have a problem with shifting tax burdens to local governments in the form of unfunded mandates. Even more disturbing, however, is that Republican lawmakers now wish to meddle in how local governments pay for those services and programs.
State Sen. Brian Kelsey, R-Germantown, says he will sponsor a bill designed to slow the rate of growth of municipal and county property taxes. His bill would allow local government to continue raising property taxes at 1 percent or less of property values. Property tax increases of more than 1 percent annually, however, would have to be put to a referendum.
Given current state law, one has to wonder what Kelsey is trying to accomplish other than tying the hands of local elected officials. State law requires periodic reappraisals of all property on the tax rolls. Once completed, county officials are asked to recertify the tax rate. That requires the property tax rate to be adjusted — based on the amount of new dollars coming in — to match the amount collected under the last tax rate adopted by the local government.
Technically, it would take a hike to the property tax for the local government to claim all those new dollars. Otherwise, the property tax burden is spread out among new homes and rising property values. This generally results in a lowering of property tax bills.
So what is Kelsey's point? I don't think he has one, other than trying to score cheap political points.

The future of Ventura County K-12 experience is bright
As the Rock & Roll Star, Alice Cooper" sang, "Schools Out for Summer", so begins another year of the anticipation of the memories the summer season brings especially for K-12 population. This season may be a turning point for all who are involved this group (Teachers, Principals, Administrators, Parents, students and the other support staff). The 2011/2012 year for K-12 education was a years of old and new challenges, uncertainty and a fear of what change may do in the reality that new measures be put into place.
The human emotion must make extra efforts to stay positive in a realistic way, because it is so easy to feel afraid and think the worse. The upcoming November elections results (Proposition 30) http://www.youtube.com/watchfeature=p...#! may be compared to a sci-fi movie where a meteorite is headed for earth resulting in its destruction. The suspense of the outcome raises the "fear meter" to its highest levels. Will the earth be destroyed or will a "superhero" step in to divert the meteorite off its course of destruction? If you are a fan of these kinds of movies, you know earth is always saved, but even more important the people who occupy earth also are save and sound.
This example is important because most people fear the worse in what will happen to K-12 public education if certain events don't happen. It is only human nature to feel that "dooms day" is coming. It is hard to see the "superhero" these days.
"Super Heroes" really do exist. (They just don't wear red capes)
Technology (e-learning)
The popularity and usage of the internet has dramatically, changed the media, general markets, buying behavior, and all industries. The same should happen in the K-12 environment.
While it is not a total solution, the internet customizes student's learning experience. The physical classrooms will always be needed but should be supplemented with quality on-line courses that match the ability and learning dynamics of various students.
Cheating is a big concern in on-line learning. Cheating is wrong. One needs to ask why a student would cheat. Could it be that they are not grasping the subject and have the fear of punishment (who wants to be viewed as dumb)? Accusing a student caught cheating labeling them as being lazy does not focus on the core problem. It is not that the learning experience should be an everyday "Disneyland", but the experiences should take in to consideration the individual and use every tool to best simulate the student's learning. The goal would be that students would enjoy the learning and want to collaborate with their peers in the classroom. Teachers would be more facilitators rather than feel the pressure to make sure everyone (or a majority) comprehends the material. The concern of cheating on-line should not stop the progress of e-learning.
Valuing the Diversity of the 80%
Eighty percent (based on the 80/20 theory) of our K-12 students are not being valued to the highest degree. This does not fall on our hard working and dedicated teachers. All people have some form of Gift, ability and talent. Some are more easy to see and easy to work side by side.
In our culture, being athletically and academically inclined is honored in various ways. This is not meant to say hard work is not important. In order to run under ten seconds in a 100 meter race, a human needs to be born with the ability. The impressive accomplishment of earning a 4.0 or higher GPA and score 100% on the SAT is also a Gift. Not everyone has this anointing (20%). The other 80%, Gifts, talents and abilities are harder to see and new methods need to be pursued to bring them to the surface.
Post K-12 Options
It is exciting to see graduating High School students being accepted to a major college/university. The same goes for the stand out athlete obtaining a scholarship to their dream school to play in the sport they enjoy. We all should stand up and applaud (standing ovation) these fine individuals.
The same accolades should be extended to students who make the wonderful choice to attend Community College, trade school, internships, and apprenticeships or even decide to go straight to working in a job that may lead to other opportunities. In this point of history, considering all that is going on, the theme is "all hands on deck". Everyone needs to be in the game no matter what the contribution. Everyone has a passion that is deep down in them. We should never lose this passion.
K-12 is Becoming More Attractive to Business Community
Our Ventura County Superintendents http://www.socal-office.com/ventura_s... are working hard and smart to provide the business community and world, students who will contribute to global success. Businesses will be confident in the return on investment when they contribute generously to the public K-12 schools.
These are concepts that we should all embrace. We have several choices before us, but going back to the way things were is not an option. Moving forward to new forms of revenues, new methodology of learning and aligning our future generations to the opportunity that lies ahead should be our direction.
"Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone and greater strength for our nation."
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA

On March 9, Doug Cooper , Extension communications specialist, interviewed Iowa State University Extension climatologist Elwynn Taylor, integrated pest management specialist Rich Pope and soybean agronomist Palle Pedersen for the weekly crops and weather update.
Extension climatologist Elwynn Taylor tells Cooper the weather patterns are showing an increased risk of a wet spring this year--not unlike 2008. The summer weather could be dry depending on the status of La Niña.
Rich Pope says the weekly teleconference of field specialists stationed across Iowa will begin shortly. Given the potential for a repeat of last year's weather, at least early on, the crop specialists will be busy.
Extension soybean agronomist Palle Pedersen indicates that after the long, cold and snowy winter he is ready for spring to arrive so he and Iowa's farmers can to get back into the fields.

Celeriac and Pumpkin Curry
Celeriac. Pumpkin. Could I be sharing any more autumn-like produce?
As I am munching away through my freezer before our next move, I am rediscovering meals that I should have blogged about but for some reason, I haven't!
I am a long-standing proponent of leftovers but oddly enough, when I stash leftovers in the freezer, they kind of sit there for a while. Freshly made meals are always my go-to choice, but I have some real gems being unearthed these days.
I have become a bit more accustomed to the tamer curries that are made with curry powder, red lentils and an assortment of veggies. I really liked the Red Lentil and Root Veggie Dal and since celeriac was my favourite veggie this winter, I was eager to try my hand at a similar stewy curry from Sarah. Typically, potatoes are used in Indian cooking but here, celeriac adds a different dimension which complements the sweetness from the pumpkin. I also loved the addition of the spinach thrown in for good green measure. I usually don't freeze meals that use greens, but these leftovers are ok from the freezer.
By the way, does anyone know what kind of pumpkin is sold in stores that are cut into large wedges? They are labelled as Ontario pumpkins, but I have no clue what kind they are… I don't cook with the jack-o-lantern pumpkins, but this was definitely a pumpkin for cooking. :)
This is being submitted to Deb for this week's Souper Sundays and to Ricki's Wellness Weekend.
Celeriac and Pumpkin Curry
Adapted from Sarah
1 tbsp olive oil
1.5 lb pumpkin or butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-cm cubes
1 large onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 lb celeriac, chopped into 1-cm cubes
4 garlic cloves, pressed or minced
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
1 tsp salt
1 cup red lentils, picked over and rinsed
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp Aleppo chili flakes (or to taste)
4 cups water
1/2 bunch spinach, stemmed and coarsely chopped (2 cups, 150g)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice, or to taste (half a lemon)
Cilantro for garnish
1. In a large heavy pot over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion, and cook for 2 minutes. Add pumpkin, carrot, celeriac, garlic, ginger, and salt, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are softened and beginning to brown, around 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Stir in curry powder and chili flakes and mix well to combine, stirring frequently for 1 minute.
3. Add lentils and water and simmer, covered, until lentils are tender, 25 to 40 minutes. Once done, stir in spinach until wilted. Add lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with rice (or quinoa).
Serves 6.

This curry looks delicious (I need to cook more with celeriac!) and no worse for wear from the freezer. ;-) Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays. ;-)

For the Week of Jul 27th, 2015 -- Pitted against an emotionally uncomfortable Full Moon in Aquarius on Friday, Venus will be moving retrograde back into Leo, the sign of ego development and heart. Leo and Aquarius are polar opposites which means they are also complementary; having something valuable to teach one another. In this case, Leo is about giving love while Aquarius helps us receive it. You may notice that it's more comfortable to do one over the other in your everyday world. Whichever side you sway towards however, this week's astrology will emphasize you at least becoming aware of what might happen if you learn to balance the two. Venus retrograde in Leo until September 6, asks us to learn the most important lesson of all when it comes to love -- loving yourself first.

All of This Has Happened Before, and It Will All Happen Again
Today the blog Eater gets its knickers in a bunch about mac-and-cheese pizza, acting like the version at Pinch-S'mac is the first time New Yorkers have ever seen the stuff. In fact, we brought you word of a mac-and-cheese slice at Hell's Kitchen Pizza in October of last year:

I've never had their pizza, but their pasta (and their meatball sub) rocks. For $10 I get a 6-7 inch tin brimming with baked cheesy, meaty goodness, and it's MADE TO ORDER (not sitting all day like SO many other midtown places)--with veggies when I ask! I often ask for Spinach and garlic, or carrots and onions, to be mixed in there, and they not only oblige, but they haven't charged me extra! They also pack a generous portion of meat/chicken and cheese. Cooked judiciously (so far, never dried out). What more can you ask for at $10 in midtown? For most women, this would be 2-3 hot meals (averaging 3.50 a pop). But for me, I actually finish lunch and don't feel hungry afterward. That's hard for me to do on $10 around this neighborhood! (And that price keeps me coming back!) We're not talking gourmet here, but I can be fickle and have never been disgruntled. It's delicious piping hot lunchtime value. Kind of like if your small-town cousin made you homemade pasta--I feel like I get fresher/realer food, and more of it, than almost anywhere else around for $10. I would be delighted if they'd actually carry everything on their menu more often (fish would be sweet!), but even when choices are more limited than menu suggests, I don't really care.

The food is unappetizing.The Hawaiian pizza tastes like metal and face astringent and there's nothing Margarita about the Margarita pizza. The tomatoes are white. Just ain't natural.
Posted by Ted M. on 09/05/2010
cheap, cheap, cheap, incredibly edible pizza down the street from the empire state building - the ultimate lunch wasteland. when you get sick of wendy's, mcdonald's or burger king around the corner, stop in here for a 99 cent slice or two (two and a soda sets you back $2.99). toppings are available, but at a large mark-up... the cheese slices are filling and surprisingly not that bad, even if they were $2 each. a regular lunch stop... but again, it's relative to the neighborhood. certainly wouldn't seek it out... unless i were homeless and hungry.
Posted by Amir on 08/30/2010
k Food Pizza has delicious tasting pizza at a very cheap price! I come here pretty much every day because the pizza is always made well -- the crust is nice and thin, there's never too much cheese, and there's just the right amount of sauce. On top of that, it's not the only food they have! When you walk to the back of the store (where the pizza and all of the other food is), you'll find a wide variety to choose from... everything from philly cheese steak sandwiches to pasta, and everything in between! The portions are generous. If you try their small latin buffet or any of their sandwiches, you won't be disappointed!!

I'm not sure of exact recordings, but I imagine some of the live recordings and later studio recordings (early 70's??) would have good sound quality, but for me they lack the excitement of his work with big bands. I've listened to some of the live recordings from this period (on emusic.com), but again I can't give an exact example
Does anyone know what kind of patterns he used in his solos? Such as these:
I'm not wanting to copy note for note what he did (as if I could!), I'm just interested in learning to play some of the things he did, to give me a little bit of fun outside of lessons/pad practice/kit practice/rudiments/rehearsal.
The only advice I've been given so far is stickings like Rll Rll Rll Rll and variations, and rolls such as Rll RLrr Lrr RLrr (6/8 roll???)

Daniel Craig Believes Rihanna Would Be The Perfect Bond Girl
He recruited both the director Sam Mendes and villain Javier Bardem to join him in the latest 007 installment, Skyfall. And now Daniel Craig has revealed his top pick for the next Bond girl.
While being interviewed on Globalgrind.com the British star revealed he can see singer Rihanna playing the MI6 agent's love interest.
Craig, who was promoting the 23rd Bond movie on the web show, was asked by interviewer Ben Lyons: 'Who makes a better Bond girl: Rihanna or Beyonce?'
After a moment's hesitation, Craig, who is playing the legendary spy for the third time replied: 'Rihanna, I think.'
Questioning Craig's choice as to why he would choose the Diamonds singer he said: 'She's dirtier.'
But when the same question was put to Skyfall's leading ladies, Naomie Harris and Bérénice Marlohe, shortly afterwards they went for Beyonce.
Upon being told their co-star had picked the 24-year-old Barbadian recording artist on the basis of her being 'dirtier', the pair looked shocked.
'Is that what you need to be a Bond girl?' asked Naomie, who plays Miss Moneypenny in the new film.
On hearing the news Rihanna, who made her acting debut earlier this year in the sci-fi blockbuster Battleship, tweeted: 'Daniel Craig Says Rihanna Would Be An Ideal Bond Girl.. this makes me happy :)'

Second Storm To Bring More Rain, Snow To Calif.
The second storm, forecasters say, could bring thunder and dump up to 2 inches of rain in central and southern valleys, 2 to 4 inches in the foothills and up to 6 inches in some mountain spots.
State water officials plan Thursday to survey the anemic mountain snow pack, and will likely find that California's precipitation is badly lagging what's needed to quench the region's thirst. 2013 was California's driest year on record.

In Nevada, the first of back-to-back storms dropped several inches of snow at Lake Tahoe and up to a foot and one-half on the mountain ridges.
A winter weather advisory was put into effect from 4 p.m. Wednesday to 10 a.m. Thursday for the Reno-Tahoe area, south to Mammoth Lakes.
The second wave of wetter weather begins Friday night into Saturday.

Research Highlights Strengths Of Adolescent Brain
By Jon Hamilton
Originally published on Mon October 22, 2012 8:11 am
Adolescent brains have gotten a bad rap, according to neuroscientists. It's true that teenage brains can be impulsive, scientists reported at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in New Orleans. But adolescent brains are also vulnerable, dynamic and highly responsive to positive feedback.

Here's BWE alum and current apparent meth-cooker Paul Scheer recording an urgent, life-or-death plea with the internet about his plans to break bad. By which he means, his plans to make Breaking Bad .GIFs on a website entirely devoted to Breaking Bad .GIFs, which, as huge fans of all three of those words when in succession, greatly piques our internet curiosity.
The site is breakinggifs.com; there's not a ton of content up at the moment, but it's definitely something worth keeping an eye on as Mr. Scheer helps us cope with these depressing months of Breaking Bad withdrawal (though these Mad Men / Game Of Thrones painkillers should help).
Take it away, Paul Scheer in tiny underwear:

TouchStudio is radically new software development environment on the Windows Phone from the Research in Software Engineering group at Microsoft Research, bringing the excitement of authoring and executing programs on mobile devices. Script your phone!
TouchStudio is based on the idea to make programming on the phone a really fun and productive experience. The advanced touchscreen needs to be considered as a special input device and all the sensors of the phone (such as location information and acceleration) should be easily available to the program; while the phone is always connected to the cloud.
TouchStudio version 18.104.22.168, which has just been released to the marketplace, is already a fully functional development environment to edit and run code. But not all aspects of the vision are realized yet… not all sensors are exposed yet, the cloud is not yet used as a backing store and for state sharing, and more.
At this moment, you should be able to write scripts with a reasonably interesting functionality; however, you cannot access the functionality of the phone down to the latest WP7 APIs, or all the WPF controls.
TouchStudio comes with several sample scripts. Each script consists of actions. Each action has a structured editor for statements. Execute parameterless actions with the "run" button. You edit expressions with a calculator-like editor.

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter

Despite the international flava of the set, though, all the songs have a similar organic-percussion vibe, one more stoned and fusion based than some others in the series; Thievery Corp.'s most closely resembles the Kruder & Dorfmeister Kicks that came out last year, though the latter's set has more edge. And despite the seemingly wide array of artists represented, the Thievery Corp.'s mix ends up as a sort of DJ Kicks Lite. For one, the set lacks movement and surprise -- there are few adventuresome segues, few gender-bending revelations (the two seem to appreciate a single tone that, while crossing genres and cultures, exudes the same vibe), and, from a practical point of view, their mixing skills are often clumsy and their pitch manipulation (matching rhythms by using the pitch control bar on a Technics turntable) obvious, at least when compared with the other artists involved with the DJ series. But if you're a fan of spliff-induced chill-out jams and aren't too picky about eye-opening skills, the Thievery Corporation will fit the bill.
If, however, you want to be blown away by a DJ's mixing skills, broad-based musical knowledge and appreciation, and overall mixed nirvana, you've gotta check out Andrea Parker's DJ Kicks, one of the most impressive and bouncy sets on the market. A celebration of the synthetic subgenre electro in all its glory (think Newcleus' "Jam on It" updated and explored), Parker starts with a sample from sonic guerillas Negativland ("Do you know how many time zones there are in Russia?") and moves to her deep, heavy remix of Depeche Mode. From there, she (yes, Andrea's a she, a rarity in the testosterone-charged world of beats) jumps around insightfully and imaginatively, connecting dots that needed connecting; those represented are, among others, San Francisco hip-hop genius Dr. Octagon; Gescom (a side project of Brit bleepers Autechre); Detroit techno legend Juan Atkins' Model 500; Afrika Bambaata; Renegade Soundwave; Andrea Parker's old alias, Two Sandwiches Short of a Lunchbox; and, the true revelation of the mix, her new composition "Unconnected."
The set is relentless and nearly seamless; often it's hard to tell where one cut ends and another begins -- though watching the CD display helps if you want to be duly impressed. Parker will begin a composition halfway into the previous one, so that when one ends, the next one already has the momentum to keep the rhythm flowing. Warning: Her tone throughout is unapologetically synthetic; she prefers fake hand claps to the real ones and loves the sound of old-school analog synths. If you're not down with the vibe, you'll hate this -- and you'll probably love the Thievery Corporation set.
But that's the beauty of DJ Kicks. Like the mix tape your buddy makes for you every Christmas, you either love the tape or hate it, depending on the compatibility of your tastes. At this point, according to the label, the series can pick any DJ anywhere in the world to do a set for them -- they're lined up. Future releases include sets by Kid Loco and the Stereo MCs, with tentative plans for both DJ Shadow and Nightmares on Wax mixes.
Welcome to harvest time. Now start picking.

I completely agree. Support local and smaller bands.
I went on a 3 week tour all around the north and south side of the east coast. There were only 3-4 shows that had a decent crowd.
Every day we would get there early, promote the heck out of the show by making friends and going places to meet new people.
This is how bands used to get people to come to shows. Nowadays, people just want to stay at home.
Money is tight I understand, I lost tons of money on tour. But there were many times where the gig was free to get into. And people wouldn't even buy a t-shirt after they told us how much they enjoyed it and can't wait until we come back.
Which brings me back. Support local or out of town bands that are coming through. If we don't do this, the only kind of "music" we are going to hear is Lady Gaga or whoever else the higher ups think they can make a buck off of.
I apologize for the extremely long post.

Technology-based firms continue to compete primarily on innovation, and are continuously required to present new solutions to an exacting market. Innovation processes have progressively become interdisciplinary, collaborative, inter-organizational, and international, and a firm's ability to synthesize knowledge across disciplines, organizations, and geographical locations has a major influence on its viability and success. This book demonstrates how knowledgeintegration is crucial in facilitating innovation within modern firms. It provides original, detailed empirical studies of prerequisites, mechanisms, and outcomes of knowledge integration processes on several organizational levels, from key individuals, projects, and internal organizations, tocollaboration between firms.

Ted Lilly, though he would prefer to start, asked to be moved to the pen as he attempts to return from injury.
Dodgers left-handed pitcher Ted Lilly, frustrated with his third stint on the disabled list this season, told club officials Tuesday to try him as a reliever.
"Ideally, I'd like to be a starter and be effective in that role," said Lilly. "I've had a hard time staying healthy. I pitched Saturday [rehab start at Class A Rancho Cucamonga], and it was sore Sunday. Yesterday, it was pretty good."
"We'll give it a shot," said Mattingly. "Rick [Honeycutt, pitching coach] will set up a sim game tomorrow and every other day, and we'll see what it looks like. Ted said the best chance for him would be out of the bullpen. I want to be open-minded and see what it looks like."
If Lilly is able to return, he was almost certainly headed to the pen anyways, particularly with Stephen Fife pitching well this year and Ricky Nolasco joining the squad. It is refreshing, however, to see a player recognize that his role needed to change if he were to have an impact going forward.
Matt Kemp landed on the DL once again, this time due to irritation in the AC joint in his left shoulder. Scott Van Slyke was recalled from AAA to take his place.
Stephen Fife is back on the DL as well, as the right shoulder bursitis that shelved him earlier this season has flared up again. The recently acquired Ricky Nolasco took Fife's roster spot.
Skip Schumaker finally served his two-game suspension stemming from the brawl with the Arizona Diamondbacks back in June.
The Dodgers go for the sweep of the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night at Chase Field, looking for their 15th win in their last 18 games. But the Dodgers will do so without utility man Skip Schumaker, who had his two-game suspension upheld by MLB on Wednesday for his role in the June 11 brawl against Arizona at Dodger Stadium.
Schumaker was suspended for two games for what MLB termed as "aggressive actions" during the brawl. Thanks the glacier like pace of the MLB punishment system, Schumaker didn't even have his appeal heard until the beginning of July, a full three weeks after the incident.
In addition to Wednesday night's game, Schumaker will also miss the opener of the four-game series against the Rockies on Thursday at Dodger Stadium.
I forgot all about this.
A whole bunch of of minor-league moves this week.
Per the Great Lakes Loons, James Campbell was added to the Loons' roster and Alan Garcia was sent to extended Spring Training.
Additionally, Webster Rivas was demoted from High-A Rancho to Low-A Great Lakes; Luis Vasquez was promoted to Triple-A Albuquerque; Pedro Baez was promoted to Double-A Chattanooga; and Greg Infante was cut.

TTI GG 150 Tomato Genome ReSequencing project
An international consortium, led by Wageningen UR, with partners from industry, government and science, have started to sequence the DNA of 150 tomato plants. The aim of the so-called 150 Tomato Genome Sequencing project is to reveal and explore the genetic diversity available in tomato. The project will unlock important traits that are lost during domestication of the ancestors, for example resistance against pathogens, taste and health improving compounds. The project will thus help to make food production more sustainable. It will also help to reduce the time needed to develop new tomato lines
Tomato is economically one of the most important crop species for the Dutch breeding industry, and is one the most important vegetables globally. The seed companies involved in this project cover 30 % of the global seed market for tomato. Seed companies need to continuously develop new tomato lines to match the changing preferences of consumers or to combat new tomato pathogens.
The pool of modern tomato lines contains only a small percentage of the genetic diversity of tomato available in nature, because breeding and selection in the past 100 years was targeted at a limited number of desirable traits, such as yield. Potentially interesting genetic variation may have been lost during this process. This loss may include genes for good taste, genes for health beneficial compounds, resistance against pests and diseases, and genes for adaptation to harsh climatic conditions.
To develop new commercial breeding lines, it is necessary to explore unused genetic diversity from tomato and its close relatives. This new project will use so-called whole-genome resequencing as a strategy to develop a high-resolution catalogue containing genetic diversity from 84 tomato types. These 84 tomato types have been selected to represent the maximum range of expected genetic diversity. The genetic diversity catalogue will be constructed using resequencing data from 10 old tomato varieties, 44 tomato land races and 30 close relatives of tomato. The 10 old tomato varieties date back to the fifties and sixties of the last century and represent the ancestors of modern tomato breeding lines. The 44 tomato land races have been obtained from collections worldwide and include plants adapted to local environments, plants stored in gene banks since the beginning of the last century, and very old accessions which have been maintained by enthusiasts. The 30 close relatives of tomato are naturally occurring in the wild and include varieties that grow in harsh environments such as very dry (desert), very humid (forest areas), or very cold (high mountains). Genetic diversity from these tomato relatives can be valuable for breeding tomato lines for marginal regions, and thus contributing to global food security. In addition to the 84 tomato types, 60 plants of a breeding population will be sequenced at "low depth". These plants will be used to study aspects of the breeding process in detail. The interest for sequencing these plants is to develop strategies on how to efficiently breed new lines using the genetic diversity identified in the 84 tomato types.
The value of the tomato genome-sequencing project is that it will unlock traits that are lost during domestication of the ancestors, for example resistance genes against pathogens, or taste and health improving compounds. It will also reveal how traits are transferred from parents to offspring, and this will help to reduce the time needed to develop novel tomato lines.
The 150 Tomato Genome Sequencing project is a Sino-Dutch collaboration of which the Chinese part is funded and executed by the Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI Shenzhen). The Dutch part is funded by the Technological Top institute Green Genetics (TTI-GG), international breeding industry, and the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 2006 U.S. soldiers destroyed an improvised explosive device attached to railroad tracks about 20 miles south of Baghdad Jan. 30. Elsewhere, Iraqi and U.S. soldiers yesterday discovered a large weapons cache stashed in a remote desert area, officials said.
Multinational Division Baghdad soldiers discovered the improvised explosive device on railroad tracks near Mahmudiyah. An explosive ordnance disposal team detonated the device without injuries or damage to structures. The IED was made of a 152 mm and a 122 mm artillery round attached to a motorcycle battery, two washing machine timers, detonation cord, and electric blasting caps, soldiers from 16th Engineer Brigade said.
In another incident, terrorists hit a house south of Mahmudiyah with a 122 mm round, causing seven Iraqi casualties and extensive damage to the house yesterday.
Elsewhere yesterday, Iraqi security forces and coalition forces found a weapons cache in a remote area of the desert south of Najaf, about 103 miles south of Baghdad on the western bank of the Euphrates River. Explosive ordnance disposal teams from the Iraqi security forces and the U.S. Army's 3rd Battalion, 16th Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, recovered 60 122 mm rockets and four unidentified missiles.
(Compiled from Multinational Force Iraq news releases.)

Names in frame were Derek and David, my pals
Posted: January 21, 2013|
ON a Christmas visit to the city, former Derbeian Howard Rose spotted some familiar faces in Bygones.
The photograph showed members of the Bemrose School under-14 football team just before a schools final at Sinfin Lane, Derby, in April 1954.
It had been sent in by Clive Harris, of Weston-on-Trent, who was able to provide names for all the team bar two.
Now Mr Rose, of Reading, has written to fill in the names of the missing players. He said: "They are well known to me as year mates at Bemrose at the time.
"Like several of us, both of them subsequently went into the sixth form and onwards to university.
"The school went on, eventually, to become something totally different to what it had been before."

Vanderpump Rules Spoilers: Jax Still In Love With Stassi and Laura-Leigh Turns Stalker!
In Vanderpump Rules spoilers for Season 1, Episode 7, Jax Taylor makes it very clear he is still in love with Stassi Schroeder. His latest fling, Laura-Leigh, is not happy at all with his undying feelings for his ex!
Laura-Leigh says Jax can't keep avoiding talking to her. She randomly tells SUR customers the two of them were dating but "he just like stop talking to me but didn't give me a reason or an explanation." She then loudly calls him a "horrible human being."
Jax asks if she really wants him to hang out with her while he is "still in love with someone else." Of course, he means his ex-girlfriend and fellow SUR employee Stassi. Laura-Leigh calls Jax a "coward" and says he cannot bully her away. She tells him she is not leaving, he is stuck with her and will have to deal with her every day until she books a job and gets famous. Then he'll be sorry. Really, really sorry.
Laura-Leigh says he and Stassi are terrible people mocks him for saying he didn't talk to her out of respect for his ex. "Sorry I've been f**king you every day without protection and been inside of you and told you really intimate things every day," she says while waving her hand in his face, "but I don't have enough respect for you to tell you I'm never going to talk to you again? F**k you."

Update! In my last post, I mentioned that my knitting kits are now available at the National WWI Museum Gift Shop in Kansas City, MO. Just last week, I was able to visit the museum gift shop, chat with the manager, and see how my knitting kits are being displayed. What a cool experience! Below are some pictures and hopefully they inspire you visit the wonderful museum and to take some "history" home with you…
Knitting Kits Sent to National WWI Museum Store5 Nov
A Knitting Poem8 Oct
My summer research has extended into the fall! After moving north in August, I finally had time this past weekend to visit the local historical society where I found a Red Cross Auxillary Meeting Book on display.
AND I found out that a local woman during WWI wrote a poem about knitting for "Over There"…see below!
The Knitters
By Elizabeth Clarke Hardy
I am knitting a khaki sweater for some soldier boy to wear,
And besides my peaceful hearthstone the stitches I set with care
And the firelight falls around me with a warm and cheerful glow,
As I knit the soft, warm sweater for the soldier I do not know.
With my dear home comforts round me I knit with no sense of fear
Of the cruel Huns who have ravished homes to other women dear,
For the boy who will wear this sweater will be out on the firing line,
In the midst of death and danger, safeguarding me and mine.
I've no boy to give to my country, but I fashion with tender joy
The soft warm things that will comfort bring to some mother's soldier boy.
And over there in the trenches when they're wearing the things we knit,
They will know that the women behind them are faithfully doing their bit.
They are needing the garments we fashion, and needing the comfort and cheer
Of knowing they're not forgotten by the home folks over here,
So loyal women are knitting warm garments on every hand,
For the boys over in the trenches on the borders of No Man's Land.
Summer Knitting Research27 Jun
This summer, I am doing some research on the role of limited synthetically dyed yarn during WWI since Germany, at the time, produced much of the world's dye. I am interested in how this affected what the American Red Cross asked for from homefront knitters. According to the records of the American Red Cross, "During the first part of the war it was a common practice for chapters to buy their materials in the open market instead of from their division headquarters…The disadvantages of such a practice became more and more evident as time passed. Chapters were appealed to not buy dyed wool in the open market, for in so doing they were simply bidding against the government and Red Cross buyers, with a probability of dislocating the market and rising prices" (Fullbrook, The Red Cross in Iowa, 6). Here's a picture of another source called Colors: The Story of Dyes and Pigments that explains the largely German controlled market for dyes during WWI also:
I find all of this pretty interesting, especially since it can help me understand what colors were used by homefront knitters! During the rest of the summer, I hope to find out even more information. The summer and its heat is the only time I would prefer researching in a nice cool archive rather than actually knitting!

Yarn Arrived!30 Mar
The Skull Cap Pattern24 Jan
I found a great original World War I source full of patterns for soldiers. Since it is a source from 1918, the pattern did not translate easily to the knitting tools and yarn we have today. So, I decided to do some experiential learning by knitting one of the patterns and adapting as necessary along the way. The winner for my first foray? The Skull Cap!
First, I started using double pointed needles (dpns) since that is what the original pattern called for. But the original called for a needle size of 8. Well, I knew that the sizes of needles have changed since 1918 so I decided to use a size 5 in order to attain the right gauge with the worsted weight wool I was using…here's a picture of the beginning stage:
As I started knitting along, I found myself dropping stitches off the dpns since there were so many stitches to keep on the needles. This is a nightmare for any knitter! So, I tried switching to a size 5 needle on circulars…here's a picture of that:
But, as I started my decrease rounds for the crown on the cap, I realized that circulars weren't going to work since they were too large in diameter as my stitches became less and less. How frustrating! So, I decided to switch back to the dpns as shown here:
What did I learn through this first experiential learning experience? I learned that original 1918 patterns can be adapted for today's knitter and that using dpns for this pattern is a must. In the future, though, I think I will use a longer dpn needle size so that the stitches don't drop as easily!

Super Bowl Sunday
BY Josh Kilmer-Purcell
January 29 2009 1:00 AM ET
Oscar parties.
Fashion Week parties. Halloween parties. White, Black,
Blue, Flaming Technicolor parties. There aren't many
shindigs in the world that aren't planned,
attended, or staffed by gay people. But come Super
Bowl Sunday, most of us (the gay guys, anyway) are
sequestered in our homes, oblivious to the rec-room
raves happening all around us. Why? Not because
we're not invited (we're invited to
everything). Because we can't bear to be the
dumbest person in the room on any subject. And when
the subject is football, we're often three bases
short of a slam dunk. So here are a few Super Bowl
talking points to get you up off your couch and into a
room full of sweaty, huggy, heterosexual men. (Just go easy
on the face paint. Even though you're an
autumn, it's customary to wear your
team's colors.)
There have been
only two streakers in Super Bowl history, both occurring
at Super Bowl XXXVIII. One was a serial streaker from the
United Kingdom named Mark Roberts, and the other was
some chick dancing next to Justin Timberlake.
