Bethesda Cava Mezze Grill opens tomorrow
- Workers put the finishing touches on Cava Mezze Grill's Bethesda restaurant. (Photo: TBD Staff)
Attention lovers of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food — you will soon have your Cava Mezze Grill.
The team behind the sit-down restaurants in Capitol Hill and Rockville will open their first fast-casual grill tomorrow at 4832 Bethesda. Ave. in Bethesda, and CEO Brett Schulman tells us that they are looking to open two more grills within the next few months in D.C. Possible locations include Dupont Circle and Penn Quarter.
But enough of the D.C. restaurants. What should you expect tomorrow in Bethesda?
For one, you'll be able to get Cava's food more quickly and cheaply than you can get in Rockville or Capitol Hill. The grill's menu staples are pitas, bowls, and salads that average about $7, and the ordering-style will be much like Chipotle's.
"It's basically the Cava feel as far as ambiance and food goes but packaged a little differently," says executive chef Dimitri Moshovitis.
Schulman says that Bethesda was an ideal location because it is in between the other two restaurants. The neighborhood also has the "right mix of office and residential" that Schulman says will make his grill a viable option for both workday lunches or causal dinners.
"We thought this was another way to offer some of Cava's food," says Schulman.
The grill is opening in the Bethesda Row storefront formerly occupied by Marvelous Market on the same block that saw Chicken Out close down in December. Perhaps this new grill will satisfy the demand for inexpensive, work week meals and non-chain restaurants.

Managing mobility: How to secure corporate data and keep users happy
Today, enlightened client management means dealing with a plethora of tablets, smartphones and netbooks, along with applications running on operating systems, such as Android™, Windows, iOS and Symbian. Add to that employees' desire to use their personal devices at work — called BYOD for "bring your own device" — and managing becomes a complex job. "The locked-down model of mobility is easy to manage, but multiple apps running on multiple devices can very quickly overwhelm the IT department of a midsize company," says Kevin Benedict, founder and principal analyst at Netcentric Strategies.
Still, a high percentage of companies allow employees to use personal devices for work-related activities. "Our research shows that 50 to 60 percent of organizations have some level of formal BYOD program or are in the process of formulating one," says David Krebs, vice president of Mobile and Wireless at VDC Research. They have good reasons for doing so. A recent study by Decisive Analytics prepared for Trend Micro suggests that permitting BYOD provides a competitive advantage, is an employee benefit that is useful for recruitment and retention, and can boost user creativity, productivity and innovation. In terms of cost, the study showed that BYOD either decreases or has no impact on overall expenditures.
Significant security risks
The security risk, however, is significant. According to the study, nearly half of the companies with BYOD programs experienced one or more security breaches. Interestingly, the security threat is different from what you might expect.
"Most IT executives think the main threat is lost or stolen devices that contain company information," says Sean Wisdom, global leader, Small and Medium Mobility Solutions at Dell. "But cell phones and tablets have become like our keys, they are seldom lost or stolen. This causes IT staff to underrate the security threat."
What, then, are the real dangers? The most popular mobile devices run either iOS or Android operating systems, which offer little inherent security. What's more, most companies allow such devices to access the corporate network, without deploying robust security. Once sensitive data such as contracts, price lists and customer contacts reaches the device, it can easily be copied to iTunes, Gmail™ or Facebook®. And it is out of IT's control when a user quits the company or is fired.
To address this challenge, experts advise analyzing your current situation and carefully devising a mobility strategy, perhaps in concert with a solution provider with deep mobility expertise.
Mobile action items
Action items would include taking inventory of mobile devices currently in use, and devising a plan that could include a mix of company-owned devices and approved user-liable devices. It's also important to institute policies on which apps can access the corporate network, and how you will secure corporate information and manage mobile applications. Delivery of your apps and management tools requires some thought — will they be on-premise, from a cloud service, hosted or some combination of these?
Remember that when devising your plan, BYOD changes the emphasis from managing the device itself to managing the corporate asset. "With BYOD, the issue is not what device users have. They bought it, and if they break it, who cares?" says Benedict. "You're only concerned with protecting the business data and apps that reside on the device."
Software solutions can help
As an example, imagine a company that needs to secure only email and related content. Mobile device management (MDM) software is available that offers full email control, as well as encryption of data in transit and on the device. You can control the endpoint itself via a container that separates all corporate computing from personal usage. The user cannot cut and paste corporate information or backup emails outside the container, and if need be the IT administrator can wipe the container clean. Such controls ensure there will be no leakage of sensitive data.
Many companies will need to manage and secure multiple applications across multiple devices and operating systems. This puts a premium on mobile application management (MAM), available from a number of software vendors. "Regardless of how sophisticated the organization is with respect to mobility solutions, it will need a centralized platform that supports app distribution, provisioning, version control and policy management," says Krebs.
For company-owned devices, there's also the issue of expense management — how to minimize costs from pricey services such as texting and downloading attachments when roaming. Some MDM solutions specialize in cost reduction by enabling you to set user policies, track behavior and receive alerts when policies are being violated.
By deploying the right policies and technology for mobile device and application management, you can have the best of both worlds — the security typical of locked-down environment combined with the productivity and morale gains when users are free to choose their own device.

Ok here goes, again:
I am torn with my goals as of this Saturday I am 14 weeks out from Musclemania. Because of some misguided information, I had to miss this show in 2000, thus I am feeling the desire to go back and do what I had intened to do in 2000.
My coach is very much against me doing this event. He wants me to have some much needed physical and mental time off from the precontest parade. So I said ok, however in my heart I really want to do this, so here is the game plan. I am going to diet, train, sleep and supplement with total preparation for this show and about 4 weeks out mail him photos and TELL him I am going and he needs to help finish me off. Note how brave I am typing this without him seeing it. ( I hope my clients, never learn this behavour)
Because of my wonderful, I want to be fat body. I have to dial this all in very smoothly so I do not lose as much muscle as I have in the past dieting and doing to much cardio, so slow and steady needs to be my thoughts, and always in focus
So goals for tomorrow 1-21-01
200 grams of protein- all from white fish
30 grams of fat- no peanut butter, flax only.
Celery as carb source- stop laughing.
2 gallons of H2O
The reason for the harshness in the diet- to re-establish my mental edge and determination of my mind & heart to my goal.
1 hour of cardio- split in two sessions-(maybe 1.5)
I WILL NOT get on the scale all week.
I WILL NOT look at myself in the mirror until Wednesday or Thursday of this week
I WIll dress completely covered ( like a hag-at the gym) so no one will ask me, like they where last week if I was getting ready again.)
I will eat all my meals on time, even if I have to stay up late.
I will take all my supplements on time.
I will stop and breath today and be thankful for my ability to train,diet and be healthy.
I will write my leg workout before going to bed tonight 1-20-01
I will commit to updating this journal daily for myself and only myself.
I will NOT allow others to create pressure for me and cause my preparation to be side track from lack of "total me" focus.
I will NOT allow any boyz to side track me or my training, or sleep.
I will update this journal tomorrow evening, be commitment to being a good role model for everyone that who thinks they can't to know they can!
I WILL believe in myself and my abiltiy to make this happen for me.
Good-night MissAbs-

Below is the poem entitled March Garden.. which was written by poet
Hayton. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Jo Hayton
A sole bagpiper
Waits to perform
For another soul
This must of been his last wish
Old comrades occupy
A well trodden path
And bid him farewell
What they must think of us
Standing in the cold
Waiting for Mum
We didn't know
Knocking on that door
Would see another life
Pass before our eyes
A kind gentleman
Comes out
'Someone is coming to see to you'
A door closes
Left outside again
Not even a room
To wait in
The cold rain seemed insessent
It wasn't going to stop
My hands were turning blue
I knew in that instant
Mum would be saying to me
'You don't eat enough to warm you
So much like me, so much like you
A gentleman approaches
Softly spoken
Carrying you in his arms
Wrapped all nice and warm
I want to carry you
Like you carried me
Keep you close to my heart
Keep you safe
The March garden approaches
We are given private time
Nobody can utter a word
Dad lays you into your beautiful resting place
And suddenly this little jar
Comes out from my pocket
And urges to catch you
Dad acknowledges my asking
And into that little jar
The heart of you falls
To stay with me forever
I quietly close the lid
And put you in my pocket
Never again for us to be apart

Wendell H. Murphy Center
When it comes to football operations facilities, there is none in the country as fine as the Wendell H. Murphy Center. The 103,254-square-foot complex houses every aspect of Wolfpack football, from sports medicine, to equipment, to academics, to the Gunter / Blank Family Strength & Conditioning Center. As functional as it is aesthetically pleasing, the Murphy Center is definitely the Wolfpack's den.
The Murphy Center (known as "The Murph" to the Wolfpack players) is the largest operations facility in the country devoted solely to football.
First Floor: The heartbeat of the Murphy Center is on the bottom floor. The beautiful locker room stretches the length of the building on one side of the hall, boasting 114 custom wood lockers, bathrooms, showers, a stereo and TVs. The other side of the hall is home to the equipment room and the state-of-the-art sports medicine facility, which covers 6,000 square feet and includes an aquatics area with three pools.
Hall of Champions: Visitors to the Murphy Center can experience the rich heritage of Wolfpack Football in the Finley Hall of Champions. This multimedia complex highlights NC State's football tradition with photos, artifacts and interactive exhibits. Fans can watch video highlights in the Woolard Theater and younger Wolfpackers can have fun in the Junior Wolfpack Zone.
Gunter / Blank Family Strength & Conditioning Center: From the lobby, double doors open into the massive Gunter / Blank Family Strength & Conditioning Center which runs the entire length of the building and covers 15,000 square-feet. The facility houses huge area for stretching, a track, a juice bar and over 15 tons of weights.
Third Floor: The third floor of the Murphy Center houses a large dining room and a players' lounge that overlooks Wayne Day Family Field. The lounge contains couches, pool tables, ping-pong tables, wide-screen TVs and video games for the Wolfpack players to enjoy during breaks.
A large team meeting room and meeting rooms for each position are also on the third floor. Each room is equipped with the latest video playback equipment for reviewing film and breaking down an athlete's performance. That level also houses offices for the Wolfpack's academic advisors, as well as a large study room with computers in the Kirkland Academic Suite.
Fourth Floor: On the fourth floor, the coaches' offices, a large staff conference room, offensive and defensive meeting rooms, a television studio and the video production offices can be found.
Wolfpack Turf Statue
Former Wolfpack football player and master sculptor Dick Idol, created the "Wolfpack Turf" monument, which rises from the plaza in front of the Murphy Center. The statue is made up of six wolves, each two-times life size, standing on a 21-foot stone mountain.
Each wolf on the sculpture has a name which represents one of the characteristics of a wolf and of a Wolfpack football player: Confidence, Passion, Spirit, Courage, Pride and Strength.

re: "Get rid of the restrictor plates, the bike is so down on power it's ridiculous"
power is nothing without control. so that isn't the answer... it's just the layperson's answer.
re: "It looked to me that the WSBK is struggling with power delivery, making shapes and pumping the rear."
what jon touches on is the problem. rest assured there's plenty of power. but it proves out exactly what I said about the forthcoming moto1 bikes a while back, ie. adding MORE power to the moto2 equation will not help things. hate to phrase it this way, but 1199's at this point in their superbike gestation are basically "wobbling CRTs". the only way to correct this is through testing and homologation, and then MORE testing and homologation. aprilia's frame and V4 engine didn't exactly set the track ablaze on it's debut in '09 either. spies readily dispatched both bikes.

Stocking Stuffers ~ 2012 Christmas Gift Guide {and a Giveaway}
Posted By Amy On December 14, 2012 @ 12:56 am In Finer Things,Reviews/Giveaways/Blog Stuff | No Comments
"For Her" Winner [3] ~ Congratulations to Kelly (kellylovescats91@) who snagged a whole lot-o-loot:
"For Him" Winner [10] ~ Congratulations to Darla (darla.m.@) who won the Oral-B electric toothbrush.
We never had stockings growing up. Woe is me, right? ;) No worries. It simply wasn't part of our tradition, and I didn't know what I was missing. Stockings are a big deal in my husband's family, though, so we have lots of fun with them now!
One year before children, Lance and I challenged each other (on a small budget) to ONLY buy gifts that fit in our stockings. That was the year that, among other things, I received a package of white fudge-dipped Oreo cookies, re-packaged in a ziplock bag so they would (almost) fit in my stocking. What a great memory!
For our final Gift Guide, Jen [12]and I have come up stocking stuffers that one or both of our families have enjoyed. What would you add to the list?
I love games that inspire creativity. This looks like a game that could keep our whole family busy for hours. Just roll the dice, and let the images inspire a story. You can create a story solo or work together to tell a tale. I can only imagine how silly these could get!
Amy trivia: I get a headache when I pull my hair back for long periods of time, so I don't do it all that often. For some reason, though, the headache doesn't appear with the Flexi-Clip [14]. It goes in easy, and I like all the pretty feminine designs. If you're not sure what size to order, be sure to check their sizing video. And if you get the wrong size, exchanging is a breeze.
Even when I can't get myself pulled together, I still try to wear lip balm and mascara. Made with the safe ingredient, iron oxide, MadeOn's tinted lip balms [4] provide the same nourishment for chapped lips that the untinted lip balms offer, with an added natural color to enhance the lips. Don't care for tinted? Choose natural [4], Au Chocolat, or Peppermint [4] (my favorite), instead!
Hot Wheels [15] are one of those gifts that keep on giving. My husband still has some of his from childhood, and our own kids love to play with theirs, too. Each pack is an instant collectable. You know my very favorite thing to play with Hot Wheels? "Drive on Mommy." I lie down (and close my eyes). They drive. Bliss.
Crayola Bathtub Crayons [16] are super fun for the kids. They can be used for learning play, too. Spelling practice in the tub, anyone? And you know what? I use them, also! You know how we moms remember things or have our best ideas while in the shower, but them forget them when we get out? Shower graffiti. Problem solved!
Jen's Emma got this book [17] at the science center last year, and she uses it all the time. It has very specific directions (with pictures!) to teach kids how to create different string figures. Emma was really excited that she could create the Eiffel Tower all by herself. Jen likes the string that comes with the book. It's sturdy enough for lots of play without getting easily tangled.
I'm a fan of games that you can toss in a backpack and take with you. Spot It [18] is a fun fast-paced find-it game that allows for lots of players. Just draw two cards and see who can be the first to spot the symbol that the two cards share. There's only one! It's a fun one to play when you need a quick game without a lot of setup or cleanup.
Pamper me, please! I think my favorite gifts are gifts that pamper in any way. The Essential Burt's Bees Kit [19] products do just that. Enjoy naturally softening buttermilk, emollient beeswax, vitamin-enriched oils and healing botanicals that nourish skin and restore essential moisture.
Do you know what's in your nail polish? Eeek! The non-toxic, hypoallergenic, odorless formula makes Piggy Paint [20] "safe as mud" to use on all piggies. It's is a natural, eco-friendly nail polish designed for fancy girls.
My kids know I'm death on sticky, chewy candy. That's what happens when the dental bills pile up! And that's why they'll be surprised to find gummy bears in their stockings Christmas morning! YummyEarth Organic Gummy Bears [21] are made with real fruit juice and other planet-friendly and natural ingredients. They contain no artificial colors or flavors and no major allergens, such as gluten, nuts and dairy and no high-fructose corn syrup. Each serving provides 100% of daily vitamin C, too.
After Christmas Chaos, it may be time to retreat and find your own Quiet Place [22]. The beautiful blue faux-leather cover holds 366 daily Bible studies (even one for Leap Day!). Women will be called to revival and biblical womanhood through Nancy's stories and devotionals.
Winner take all! For this giveaway, one winner will receive a copy of The Quiet Place, a Flexi-Clip, and a package of YumEarth Gummy Bears. To enter, simply fill out the form below.
Giveaway ends Sunday, December 16, at 11:59 pm, CST. Winner will be randomly chosen and emailed, and I'll update this post with the winner's name.

Is "The Crying of Lot 49" in favor of an American ideal or critical of it?
"American ideal" is supposed to represent things like technology, popular culture, academia and communication
1 Answer | Add Yours
Well, if you only have those two choices, I'd have to say it is critical of this ideal. However, one can be in favor of an ideal, and still be critical of it, and I'd say that's what happens here. Pynchon's work depends on the existence of American ideals (particularly freedom and community), and he often writes about topics that have shaped American society, such as World War II.
In this work, I'd say he is critical of it, in that he focuses on showing many of the ways it fails its believers, and some of the ways it is flawed.

LUSH Vibrance Liquid Lipstick
Too Gritty to Call It True Love
LUSH Vibrance Liquid Lipstick ($22.95 for 0.20 oz.) is described as a "shimmering, golden orange." It's a brightened tangerine orange with lighter, golden orange shimmer/glitter. OCC Banjee is similar in color to the lighter shimmer, but it's an opaque lip color with no shimmer. I couldn't think of anything that came that close. You would better be able to achieve a look like this by wearing an orange lipstick and pairing it with a gold-shimmered gloss.
It was somewhat challenging trying to figure out what exactly the formula was supposed to do, so I referred to the original press release. I gathered these should be hydrating, fairly pigmented, and leave lips soft post-application. The color coverage is semi-sheer to semi-opaque, but it's rather uneven. The shimmer/glitter felt noticeably gritty, and the particles seemed to gravitate towards each other in bunches, which contributed to the uneven application. It had a watery consistency–thin, loose–but it felt more like a lipstick once it dried down on the lips.
I didn't detect any scent or taste while testing it for wear. It managed four hours, but there was some stray glitter/shimmer that had traveled outside of my lip area. Not drying, not hydrating, but the grittiness of the sparkle made it uncomfortable to wear. It's housed in a glass bottle with a doe-foot applicator attached to the black screw-top lid. The applicator doesn't reach the bottom of the jar, so if you end up using the majority, you may not be able to reach the bottom (try using a separate lip brush or turn it upside down in a sample container).
The Glossover
LUSH Vibrance Liquid Lipstick Review, Photos, Swatches
|The grittiness of the formula, combined with the lack of hydration (while not drying, it did not soften or leave my lips feel moisturized), this wasn't a winning shade. I'm hoping the next shade I try in the formula is better!

I didn't remember you being at a charity. The show makes it out like you're throwing a lavish birthday party for yourself.Did it look great?
I mean, it looks good. It looks fun. Of course I kept asking myself, What do these people do for a living? They seem to never be working.We all are. There's a lot of work behind the scenes. But do you really want to sit and watch me, like, go crazy at my computer? I mean, that's not sexy.
I suppose the point of the show is we want to see you party.Exactly.
Well then, what exciting things should we be looking forward to this season? Any romantic drama?With me, no. You know, when you hear me say in the preview "I'm pathetically single," it kinda stays that way. I just work. I'm 30-something. I'm single. I'm looking for love.
Well maybe, you know, when the show airs, you'll get some action.Everyone's like, "This show is definitely going to get you laid." I hope so.

Certainly dont think the Tribe is going to run away and win this division, however Cleveland has the type of team the Tigers should have built, speed and defense for the most part. It is frustrating watching the Tigers lumber from base to base on singles. Peralta, horrible at bat with the bases loaded and no outs, Santiago..ditto... Avila swings at balls, but not strike 3? Fielder is a horrible horrible 1st basemen, horrible arm already 6 or 7 errors, that signing is going to handcuff the Tigers for a decade financially. Tigers need to get a 2nd basemen with some speed who can also hit 2nd behind Jackson. These guys are choking big time. Frustrating.
I have a feeling this game is critical to Porcello, Cleveland can throw an all left handed hitting line up out there, if Porcello struggles, it might be a glimpse of the remainder of the year, perhaps this is game he turns the corner and commands his stuff and it leads to bigger and better things. My gut feeling is the Tribe have a field day hitting against Porcello tonight and this series gets off to a bad start, hope I am wrong, but i can see Santana having a big game tonight and the Indians taking game one.
What the heck, I seen that, I was going to reply to your post and it was gone. Wow.
No offense at all really, Fielders double was a bloop that got kicked into a double, the passed ball made the Pirates bring the infield in, and Avila finally did something with a runner at 3rd and one out when he trickled a grounder past a drawn in infield. Tigers offense is just atrocious, Kelly needs to not lead off, I am sure everybody sees this except Leyland, and honestly no more Raburn, he looks like he has zero confidence, not sure if he could get sent down, know he has an option left, but I am sure his acrued time in the Majors would come into play. The Tigers knew 2nd base would be an opportunity after last year and did nothing to fix it.
Smyly hasnt exactly been trash, not sure why your giving up on him already. Also, Andy Oliver will get a chance before Turner will this summer, Oliver has been throwing strikes consistently finally and the Tigers will give him a chance because he is left handed
guess you have finally given up on John Lannan?
This teams approach to hitting is an absolute joke, Kelly with his lifetime 275% OBP, gets a 2-0 count leading off an inning and swings at the next pitch, then checks his swing on ball 3 for a strike. Tigers are being held in check by a pitcher who until today was getting ripped by real Major League hitters.
Tiger pitcher, with the exception of Verlander almost always let the opposing team score he following inning after the Tigers score. Tigers need to trade for Neil Walker, dont let him leave town, give the Pirates a pitching prospect, a catching prospect and Raburn. Walker is a switch hitter, fields well, would be a good number 2 hitter
If rod allen tells the Rod Barajas story one more time I am going to go nuts.
Correia comes in with a 4.50 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, 15 walks in 40 innings and he is mowing thru the Tigers like they are a Class D High School team.
Looks like Cy Correia must be dealing today, i know it wouldnt be the Tigers lack of discipline or horrible approach to hitting. Everyone seems to really be on their "A" game when the throw against the Tigers
good god this is irritating watching Correia, who is 0-3 in May with almost an 8.00 ERA mowing thru the Tiers feeble line up. Why is Kelly still leading off?
I would not bat Kelly first, maybe try him the first game Jackson was out and if he was getting on base, keep it going, but he is not getting on base, he is having horrible swing after horrible swing and popping up to the shortstop or 3rd basemen. I would lead Dirks off and try Avila hitting 2nd, maybe Alex would see more fastballs hitting before Cabrera and might break him out of his slump. I would not continue to try something that isnt working.
I know there will be a certain poster who will mention that Leyland has forgotten more baseball than I know...and I am starting to believe that.
This team is a mess right now, except for a few exceptions, there execution is horrendous, that includes Leyland's decision making day after day, they are also a bit snake bitten with some bad luck. Boesch leads off the 8th with a single, he is at first base with a pitcher on the mound for the Bucs who traditionally teams run on at will, also with a catcher who is throwing out about 1 out of 10 baserunners, but Leyland just continues to hardly put any runners in motion, or even have Peralta bunt, his moves consistently are frustrating this year. Leading Kelly off is a move no other manager in baseball would do, but because Jackson is hurt and Kelly takes his places, he leads off with his horrible lifetime OBP%. Are these guys going to snap out of it? I thought so, but I am beginning to doubt it. Tigers are getting beat right now but less talented teams, that are playing with more heart and are alot more scrappy than the Tigers. Luckily no Raburn for everyone to complain about today, maybe some of that venom can be used on Avila or some of the under performing Tigers.
Obviously Brandon Inge is a class act, not many players anymore would go down to the Minor Leagues after 11 years in the Majors when they are guaranteed $6million no matter what. He was involved in the community at a high level. He also made many weird comments about how people pitched to him like he was Babe Ruth, etc. In time, Brandon Inge will be remembered as a pretty loyal Tiger that had a little bit of power, good defensive player and a good team mate, but honestly, its time for the Brandon Inge stories to take a hike off MLive, he plays for the Oakland A's now.
He has hit the ball hard lately, he has had some bad luck also, when he does hit something hard, it seems to be right at someone, which is the way slumps go. I think tonight is the night Raburn gets it going, hopefully Boesch does too. Also, Cabrera has really been swinging at a lot of pitches out of the zone, almost jumping at the ball, so when he gets going along with the other 2 or 3 slumping the Tigers might just be OK, although I still think they are a really slow team and a poor defensive team.
Ok, I will admit it, I am a Ryan Raburn fan, however it has even frustrated me to watch him this spring. I do know that the Tigers are a much, much better team when Raburn starts mashing, and he will. I also think Raburn isnt quite the horrendous fielder everyone makes him out to be, although he has had some memorable errors. However that being said, I predict Raburn is going to break out tonight and have a big game, maybe 2 or 3 hits, a tater and 3 RBI's
good god man, a girl posts something on here and your drooling all over yourself, I agree lots of clowns posting on here, however there are lots of intelligent posts on here daily, however I havent read any by you, if we are the Jason Grilli's of posting, I would say your more in the Nate Cornejo league. Bozo.
I agree, if somebody was going to pitch the 9th because Valverde and Benoit were unavailable, it should have been Dotel, he has some closing epxerience and has pitched well this year. However, what kind of annoys me, is Leyland not having neither Valverde or Benoit available, perhaps Jim could have did a few things differently Sunday instead of burning both out.
I am not basing my "absurd" thing to say based upon one game, Dick... that would be absurd, I see the Tigers right now as a team that is struggling to hit, very slow on the bases, overall below average defensively and with a bullpen that is not being effective overall. I think the Tigers are in for a run for their money with the Tribe this year the Tigers had alot go right last year, and so far this year it seems some of the bounces havent gone their way. Also, I think the Tigers are built he wrong way for their park, need more team speed and better defense, but we shall see.

1 pound
fresh asparagus, trimmed
2 cups
seasoned bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
1/2 cup
grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons
butter, sliced
Oh my goodness. You have to love asparagus to love this recipe! Just get out a frying pan. Melt the butter, add breadcrumbs to cover the bottom of the pan, whatever darned seasonings you like, fresh steamed or canned asparagus... flip when the bottom is browned and eat it. Add the cheese if you wish. We love this stuff, and serve it at every holiday!
This was very easy to make, but I thought it was terrible. I went with the previous reviewer and cut down on the bread crumbs. I have a feeling there is something missing from this recipe. I thought it was a waste of a great vegetable. I will not make this again.

Next time I make this, I will use 1/2 the bread crumbs called for in the recipe. There were way too many and it overpowered the taste of the asparagus.
REALLY good! I used probably less than 1/2 the breadcrumbs called for though because I wanted to taste more of the asparagus. I also omitted the butter and tossed asparagus with small amount olive oil before adding the breadcrumbs. Turned out great.
We loved this recipe. I served it with grilled steaks. It was perfect. I'm sure I used more Parmesan cheese than the recipe called for--but when it comes to cheese, the more the better, right? One tip--use fresh grated Parmesan. The stuff in a can doesn't melt well.
I will agree....TOO MANY BREADCRUMBS. Also, I added some crushed garlic for flavor while cooking. I do not like asparagus, but husband loves it. He wasn't a huge fan of this. Says he likes the "other" way I make it much better. Guess I will have to keep trying. Thanks for the post.
I made this pretty much as listed. I think next time I will cut the spears up and probably put them in olive oil and then in bread crumbs. This tasted delicious but the crumbs formed a crust that made you eat it separately from the spears.
Overall, good recipe. You definitely can cut back on the bread crumbs, probably about half what the recipe calls for. What I did was I coated each asparagus spear in whipped egg and then rolled it in the bread crumb mixture, just like you would if you were making breaded chicken or fish. It takes a little more time, but the result is great. Each spear has a nice coating of the bread crumbs, but you still have the great asparagus taste.

Our People
Profile: Sfc. David Moore
Sgt. 1st Class David Moore loves his country, his family and Mississippi State.
"My main mission is to recruit for the Army National Guard," said the former Leake County resident. "I'm responsible for getting new officers in and new officers out for both the Army National Guard and for Mississippi State's Army ROTC. I get to mentor, counsel and advise these students and watch them go from cadet to commission."
In other words, Moore goes from training cadets to saluting them when they become officers.
"I get to see the fruits of my labor: I see students that don't know what direction they're going and we give them military training," he explained. "They learn self-discipline and leadership, and when they apply that to their lives, it makes them awesome people, too."
Since Mississippi State's ROTC program pays for their college education, ROTC students can graduate debt-free and have the advantage of having military experience on their resumes, Moore said.
"Most employers will move an ROTC student's resume from the middle or bottom to the top, and being a member of the military is one of the most well respected jobs in the nation," he said. "Mississippi State's R.O.T.C. program is really strong."
Moore first came to Starkville in 2002 when his wife, Lynda, was hired by the university's athletic academic support-services office. He had just enough time to unload the moving truck before he was deployed to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He didn't even have time to move the furniture into the house.
When he returned two years later, Moore realized his family was living in a great place to work, learn and grow.
"We love it here in Starkville," he said. "It's the only place our children really know, and they've threatened to live with friends if we tried to move."
The Moores have four children: Rylan, 15; Corey, 13; Tanner, 11; and Lillie, 4. The young men are members of the National Honor Society, and Moore said he looks forward having Lillie join them as she goes through school.
When not working at Mississippi State, Moore often is busy with soccer since the children play in the local recreational leagues.
While he loves Bulldog baseball and football, Moore said he continues to hope Mississippi State will add men's soccer team to the sports program and join the women's team already in place. Until then, he said he'll continue heading to games at Polk-Dement Stadium at Dudy Noble Field and Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field.
"I've been a State fan for many years," he said. "Mississippi State is down-to-earth, and the students and the people are so friendly. I'm from Carthage, Mississippi, and Mississippi State people are my type of people."Writer: Leah Barbour | Photo: Beth Wynn

Harvard Public Health Review
Winter 2005
The Compounding Power of Public Health
In addressing the first meeting in October 2003 of the Leadership Council of the School of Public Health, Harvard University President Larry Summers said, "There is no other area of human endeavor in which the application of thought and resources can make so profound a difference in as many people's lives as in the work of public health. And that is why this School is so profoundly important to the mission of the University." Our aims in this special 2004 Annual Report issue of the Review are to share a few examples that demonstrate how the Harvard School of Public Health has had a real impact on the health of people, and to acknowledge all of those whose efforts and support have made these contributions possible.
The fundamental missions of the Harvard School of Public Health can be thought of as the generation of new knowledge through research and creative thinking; the transmission of knowledge to the next generation of scholars and practitioners; and the communication of knowledge learned to the public, policy makers, and industry, with the aim of promoting health and preventing disease. Nobel laureate Lord George Porter of the U.K. once said, "There are two kinds of research, applied research, and not yet applied research." Clearly not all research results in the short term in tangible impacts on health, and not all scientific impacts can be communicated in a brief summary. Complex problems rarely have simple solutions, and so the tradition at HSPH has been to create multidisciplinary collaborations to address major public health problems in populations. Each of us in our own way seeks to create knowledge that can, to some degree, change the world. And that is ultimately the greatest reward we can have in our professional lives.
The interaction of knowledge and people at the School has led to many significant achievements which have evolved from the three main domains of public health: the probabilistic sciences, such as biostatistics and epidemiology; the mechanistic sciences of biology and molecular biology; and the social and policy sciences. Beginning on page 7 of this publication, we describe a few of the landmark contributions by our faculty and students that we believe have had a demonstrable impact on improving the health of people in this country and beyond. (I caution that I could have chosen many others as significant. And to those who would like to pursue the School's historical contributions further, I recommend an engaging history of public health and the School by Robin Marantz Henig, The People's Health.)
In this issue of the Review, we provide a current sampling of HSPH contributions that reflect the creativity of our faculty and students, as well as the extraordinary collaborations that occur across domains and disciplines within the School, and with others at Harvard and around the world. Some are devoting their research to waging the uphill battle against the leading cause of preventable death and disease, tobacco. Others are documenting ways in which the U.S. legal system perversely perpetuates child and spousal abuse in the wake of separation and divorce. Still others are working at the laboratory bench to understand the complex molecular connections between obesity and type 2 diabetes, chronic conditions that have emerged in force and are now on the rise in developing as well as industrialized nations. And across Harvard, our faculty members are helping to design "green" buildings on campus, living laboratories that demonstrate novel ways of conserving energy and resources while also keeping workers and students healthy. We hope this sampling will convey some of the diversity of scholarly activities at the School of Public Health that makes it such an exciting place in which to work and study.
Perhaps the greatest institutional challenge we have begun to think seriously about is defining what the shape of public health research and education will be in the next decade and beyond. The great stimulus has been the opportunity to be part of the planning for a proposed new campus in Allston. The potential for the School to relocate there over the next decade has provided a crucible in which the entire School community must come together to consider how we will redefine what we should be doing and teaching, and what public health ought to be doing over the coming decades.
In its educational mission, HSPH has been privileged to have had so many of the brightest students in the country and the world come and share their knowledge and diverse experience with our community. The School has trained a great many students who have become leaders of public health worldwide, including six of eight directors of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and one former Director-General of the World Health Organization. But much of the great work of public health is done by often unsung HSPH graduates in virtually every city and state in this country, and in almost every nation around the world. We now have at the School nearly 900 students representing more than 50 countries, from Afghanistan to Iran, Iraq, Estonia, Moldova, Myanmar, Nigeria, and Zimbabwe, as well as China, Japan, and countries of Latin America. These graduates, informed by their training at the School, will in their own right truly make a difference. Albert Einstein famously referred to compound interest as "the greatest mathematical discovery of all time." If one considers the compounding power of education, it is clear that providing a great education to bright and motivated students--who return to their cities, states, and countries and train more leaders and public health practitioners--is the greatest investment we can make in the future.
Of course, we appreciate every day that our work would be impossible without the sustaining support of our many donors and friends, whose contributions are acknowledged in our annual Volunteer and Gift Report. We are deeply grateful for their commitment to our mission. Through their efforts, they enable us at the School to address new issues and take on new challenges. This in turn empowers the School of Public Health to make its scholarly contributions to this great University. Universities and their faculties are places of intellectual ferment, innovation, and questioning. They are constantly changing, and yet endure. And none is more special than Harvard University. Clark Kerr, late chancellor of the University of California, once said "Taking, as a starting point, 1530, when the Lutheran Church was founded, some 66 institutions that existed then still exist today in the Western World in recognizable form: the Catholic Church, the Lutheran Church, the parliaments of Iceland and the Isle of Man, and 62 universities." This University, and its School of Public Health, will endure for many reasons, not the least because of the committed engagement of so many who share our vision of creating a healthier world.

Version 2.0 was just released with many new features. Most notably is (almost) complete support for the latest Scheme specification, R7RS, which was ratified in late 2013. This LWN article contains a brief introduction to Kawa and why it is worth a look.

You don't seem to know much about Texinfo. It is definitely very much about semantics - quite like DocBook. I agree DocBook takes the semantics thing slightly further than Texinfo - but it has big holes too: For example DocBook doesn't have a standard way to specify the structure of a command/function synopsis except for the C language.
The reason that DocBook is so "verbose" is that it actually indicates what things are.
One reason DocBook is so verbose is because it is XML, which by definition is verbose and human-unfriendly.
I've written plenty of documentation in both Texinfo and DocBook. They're both reasonable formats, but it is clear that DocBook is very tedious if you have to write it "by hand" rather than use a word-processor. Texinfo is much easier to both read and write, and it handles the "semantics" pretty well.

I'm skeptical, given how frighteningly many cases where someone has been proven innocent after years in prison based on a single eye-witness or jail-house informant, which we know are extremely unreliable, or scientifically bogus evidence, or coerced confessions and plea bargains.

They say that a little friendly competition is good for you every now and then. The TASTE staff found out this week that a little friendly competition can be pretty tasty too.
On Tuesday, April 1st, TASTE hosted the 3rd Annual Employee Recipe Contest. Each year as part of the Be-A-Star program, TASTE staff is challenged to submit an original recipe that is sustainable and creative.
The Be-A-Star program is a recognition platform designed by our parent company Bon Appetit Management to highlight and celebrate our talented employees and their contributions through recipes and community involvement.
This year's challenge was a soup smack down. The TASTE staff was invited to submit a soup recipe that incorporated at least one seasonal ingredient. The top five participants were then asked to prepare these delicious recipes for the special judges, TASTE Restaurant Executive Chef Craig Hetherington and TASTE Events Executive Chef Paul Rosquita, who critiqued both taste and presentation of each soup.
The Contestants:
Taylor Johnson – Restaurant Sous Chef – Carrot Cumin Soup
Ellis Faglade – Catering Cook – Roasted Cauliflower Soup
Anna Burkett – Director of Events – Pear & Gorgonzola Soup
Jasmin Kwan – Catering Server – Beetroot Curry
Alex Neuse – Restaurant Lead Cook – Chilled Pea Vine Soup
It was a tough decision for our judges, however after many exclamations of "wow… that was good… smooth… yum… I could eat a whole pot of that…," they picked their winner.
And the winner was Taylor Johnson with his Carrot Cumin Soup!
Taylor's winning soup will be featured on the TASTE Restaurant menu for the month of May. In addition to bragging rights, he also won an Amazon gift certificate and $50 cash.
Good job, Ellis, Anna, Jasmin and Alex! Congratulations, Taylor! We're very proud of you all.

Dayglow Paint Party At The Pageant: Photos
Dayglow, which touts itself as the "world's largest paint party," is a bit like cirque-du-soleil gone dance beats. Maybe not in performance, but at least visually, where surreally outfitted people onstage blast paint from cannons onto barely outfitted fans below. The hot mess came to the Pageant on Friday and sold the place out; Jon Gitchoff went and took some paint for the team. A few highlights, below.
