Head Into the Woods at the ADC
Posted: March 08, 2014|
Prepare to see Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel get muddled and whirled together in Cambridge University Amateur Dramatic Club's (CUADC) version of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods.
They're calling the Tony Award-winning play a "magnificently twisted musical fairy tale" which is about right. It stormed Broadway when it was first staged in 1986 and is being turned into a blockbuster this year too (featuring Meryl Streep as The Witch, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella and Johnny Depp as The Wolf – yeah, it's a pretty incredible line-up).
Using quirky Victorian illusions, an intricately designed set, and even a wild animal or two (here's hoping), CUADC are promising we'll be seeing quite a different side to the magical forests of your average childhood storybook...
Director Andrew Room, who staged The Twits at the ADC Theatre last summer, said: "Into the Woods has been my favourite musical since I first saw it almost 10 years ago. It is so wittily funny, so satisfyingly clever and so devastatingly moving that one grows attached to it.
"The music is unforgettable and Sondheim's lyrics carry idioms of wisdom worthy of the Greeks."
That's some praise, go see if the cast do the text justice.
:: Into the Woods, The ADC Theatre, Wednesday, March 12 – Saturday, March 22 at 7.45pm. Tickets £8-£12 from (01223) 300085 / adctheatre.com

Deeply nourishes and helps provide an effective remedy for dark circles and the appearance of fine lines, using rich, organic Ghee, Saffron and soothing Rose.
PRATIMA organic eye treatments use rich and effective botanical's to deeply rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes and can be one of the most important skincare tips of all.
Pratima Skincare has a fun skin analysis quiz you can take to find out which of their products would benefit your skin. I recently decided to take it and was very impressed by the suggestions. One of them was the Saffron Eye Ghee. I have deep dark marks under my eyes, probably from too much blogging right?
When I received it, It says specifically to only use at night before bed. I see why. It sort of gets on your lashes which can impair your vision, so it's best at night while sleeping. I used it every night for 2 weeks. I seen a significant improvement!! I was very surprised since I didn't believe it could happen from a creme at all. It feels very smooth almost like silk. It does have some slight yellow color however it won't stain your pillow.
One thing to just remember and make sure you do, is only wear this during bed time. Continue to use it and you will see vast improvements like I did. Overall, I would recommend Saffron Eye Ghee to anyone who needs some help in the eye area. Great product!

The following is a guest post from our friends at The Budget Fashionista.
The hottest trend of the spring/summer season is color-blocking, and personally, we couldn't be more thrilled. The spring 2011 runways exploded with vibrant hues that were avant garde, playful, and impossible to ignore both for their brightness and their prominence across designers and retailers.
The color-block look is far from new, but it's back with such a bang that you don't want to ignore it this year. There are lots of ways to make it work for you–some easier than others–so let's take some time to examine the best ways to color-block your summer looks.
Cheat.You'll look like a fashion genius without putting any thought into it if you simply buy a color-blocked dress. Pick one that works for your skin tone and personal style- and make sure all the colors flatter, not just one or two.
Pair separates.
When it comes to color-blocking with separates, the easiest way is to pair a bright hue with a nude hue. Once you've gotten the hang of it, you can try to pair two bold colors, but we suggest starting with a bright top and nude skirt.
Kick it up a notch.
Once you've got your neutral and bold hues covered, it's time to add one more (yes, one more). Pair a deep turquoise or cobalt top with a pastel, or offset bright pants with a rich jacket. For a bright purple shirt, we love a soft-hued cardigan.
Up the Ante.
Once you've got your main hues represented in your outfit, take color-blocking to the next level with accessories. If you've got a deep-hued top, skirt or dress, pair it with bright accessories and vice-versa. A bright yellow top looks great with cobalt blue bracelets, and a deep purple skirt pairs nicely with bright pink shoes.
Opposites attract.
There are a few things to remember when it comes to color-blocking with the right colors. Make sure you only have one neon color. While it's totally okay to rock three bold colors, only one of them should be super bright. We like this formula: one bright, one bold, one neutral.
Also, remember that neutral doesn't have to mean nude. Use white, grey, brown and black to hold your outfit together. And an easy way to make sure you get the trend right, even without a neutral? Stick with different hues of the same color. Sky blue, cobalt and navy look great, while pale pink, bright pink and fuchsia do as well.
Having a tough time figuring out what to pair with what?
Here are some more hues that go great together:
1. Cobalt Blue, Yellow, Orange
2. Chocolate Brown, Pink, Peach
3. Purple, Bright Blue, Teal
4. Deep Blue, Bright Pink, White
5. Coral, Grey, Ivory

Eri Yoshida
From BR Bullpen
Eri Yoshida (Princess Knuckle, Knuckleball Girl)
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 5' 1", Weight 114 lb.
- Born January 17, 1992 in Yokohama, Kanagawa Japan
[edit] Biographical information
Eri Yoshida, Japan's first female professional ballplayer, made her debut with the Kobe 9 Cruise of the Kansai Independent League on March 27, 2009 at the Osaka Dome.
She signed with the Kobe club in December 2008 amid speculation that she was nothing more than a publicity stunt designed to attract interest to the new independent league.
During her debut, she walked the first batter she faced on four pitches and allowed a stolen base before striking out the next batter in the ninth inning. She was then replaced after facing only two batters. She did not pitch again until May 28, when she fanned her only opponent. She finished the year with 4 walks, 4 hit batsmen, 3 strikeouts and one run allowed in 3 2/3 IP, going 0-1 in 7 games.
It was announced in October 2009 that she would not be returning to the club in 2010, and will go to university instead. She said she intended to still be involved with baseball in some fashion, perhaps as an instructor in the future. Some have speculated that the financial difficulty of the independent league had influenced her decision; according to one report: "Yoshida and her teammates went long stretches without pay and the league barely made it through its first season when many sponsors pulled out." [1]
Yoshida started playing baseball in the second grade. She is the first woman to play against men in Japan and hopes to emulate Tim Wakefield with her side-arm knuckleball, which she taught herself by throwing in her parents' backyard. She pitched for the Yuma Scorpions of the Arizona Winter League in 2009-10, then visited the Boston Red Sox's training camp on March 2, where she met her idol Wakefield. On April 9, 2010, it was announced she had signed a contract to play with the Chico Outlaws of the Golden Baseball League.
In her US debut on May 29, she threw a scoreless first inning before allowing four runs in the next two innings. She also singled home a run as her club went on to beat the Tijuana Cimarrones, 8-6. [2] She went 0-4, 12.27 in 8 starts for Chico, and 1 for 8 with a walk as a hitter.

Dried Blood Spots Part 2
- November 2010
- Region: Global
- 179 Pages
- Future Science Ltd
Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling involves spotting blood from a heel- or finger-prick onto a card which is then air dried and sealed in bags with desiccant for storage and shipping. The technique offers many advantages compared to traditional liquid blood or plasma samples including:
- Low blood volume requirements are beneficial in pediatric studies and enable serial bleeding from one animal, so reducing the number of animals used in studies
- Improved data quality in preclinical toxicokinetic and pharmacokinetic studies
- Less invasive and more patient-friendly than venous cannulation
- Cards can be stored at ambient conditions, reducing sample storage and transport costs
Although DBS has a long history of use in pediatric studies and in resource-limited settings, these advantages have generated significant current interest in DBS amongst bioanalysts, toxicologists, and pharmacokineticists who see the benefits of implementing DBS sampling in their drug development programs. Consequently, a large amount of research into the use of DBS is currently underway in pharmaceutical development laboratories worldwide.
The use of these samples can make life more difficult for the bioanalyst: smaller sample volumes have the potential to limit assay sensitivity and multiple card types and extraction solvents need to be investigated as part of method development; furthermore, the full implementation of DBS in pharmaceutical laboratories necessitates a switch from plasma to blood pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic data; this means that both scientific and regulatory aspects will need to be considered to ensure that the use of DBS as replacement matrix for plasma in supporting drug development will meet everybody's needs and requirements.
This is Part 2 of two Special Focus Issues of the peer-reviewed journal Bioanalysis and includes a mixture of review and research articles demonstrating the pharmaceutical, clinical and bioanalytical applications of DBS alongside papers illustrating advances in the surrounding technologies applicable to dried blood spot bioanalysis and commentary by internationally recognized experts.

Gene Roddenberry's EARTH FINAL CONFLICT THE ARRIVAL
by Fred Saberhagen
Published by TOR® Books, Dec 1999.
Copyright (c) 1999 Tribune Entertainment Company and Alliance Atlantis Communications Inc.
In a time of secrets and mysteries, Jonathan Doors remains one of the biggest enigmas. When the Taelons arrive on Earth and take their place as humanity's Companions, Doors is one of the first to welcome them. Using his power and influence, he helps introduce the aliens to our world. Then he suddenly fakes his own death and goes underground to lead the Resistance as the Companions' greatest enemy. Why?
In the days following the taelons' arrival, the story of the secretive multibillionaire is finally told and truth is exposed. Working at first to ensure peaceful relations between the human race an the newly landed aliens, Doors also hopes to find something in the aliens' technology that will free his wife from the grip of a terrible disease. But when his father reveals secrets from his own past, Jonathan Doors will discover the true price of cure -- and the Taelons' dark plans for Earth . . .

Review:Companion Mystery
I am a big fan of the television series, Gene Roddenburry's Earth: Final Conflict, and personally I would have found myself reading this book one way or another. I was happily surprised, though, by both the ability of the author to accurately portray the Taelons, and by the actual basis of the story. At first review, I believed the novel would span a much longer period of time after the arrival of the alien Companions. As I found out, half of the book is actually spent in a flashback that yields incredible information about both the Taelons and another mysterious type of being that I had not known about previously through the TV program. This past-tense adventure, told through the eyes of Jonathan Doors' father, is an insightful tale in itself, bordering on fantasy slightly more than science fiction. Then, following Jubal Doors' confessional, occurrences in the present begin to uncannily equate to those from the past. Pure action encompasses the better part of the conclusion of the novel, and thus the reader knows what Jonathan Doors truly stands for. As was Gene Roddenburry's ongoing intension, the mystery of alien abilities never ceases throughout the tale. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested, whether or not the reader has knowledge of the show on TV. Of course, I believe that having watched the show since its premiere made this first tale of The Arrival even more comprehensible, and certainly much more intriguing.

Companies repeat mistakes for two reasons: They never identify what went wrong, or, if they do diagnose a problem, they don't institutionalize the solution. Often, managers limit their postmortems to asking for three things that went well and three things that went badly and then initiating a round of applause for Michael, who was here all night making the presentation binders.
Some businesses take a more regimented approach, adopting a practice from the military. The U.S. Army is famous for its rigorous debriefings, known as after-action reviews, or AARs. To borrow the Army's definition, an AAR is "a professional discussion of an event, focused on performance standards, that enables soldiers to discover for themselves what happened, why it happened, and how to sustain strengths and improve on weaknesses."
Charles Parry, a partner at Signet Research & Consulting who teaches after-action reviewing to corporate clients, prefers the term action review cycle. That's because the process wraps around an entire "action," which might be as simple as a client meeting or as elaborate as a yearlong business-development project. "There's a piece you do ahead of time called the before-action review, or BAR," explains Parry. "That's where you ask the question 'What is our intended result?' When the action is over, you ask 'How did we do against that?' "
Formal AARs are rare in smaller companies, which prize informality. But they are gaining traction in a few self-styled "learning organizations" -- like Moody, Famiglietti & Andronico, a 100-employee accounting and consulting firm in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. MFA is big on continuous improvement: It employs a full-time education director and devotes one week each summer to classes on customer service, negotiations, and similar subjects. (The company once held a dining-etiquette session at a Holiday Inn.) After reading about AARs four years ago, MFA's leaders decided to bake them into every customer engagement, no matter how small. "AARs and BARs -- they're famous here now," says Matthew Boyle, an MFA partner. "When an e-mail goes around saying 'There's a BAR on Client X,' everyone knows exactly what to expect."
What they expect is a 15-to-30-minute, hyperefficient meeting that includes every person who has interacted with the client within the past year. Also attending are employees with experience in similar projects for different clients. Before the meeting, the presiding partner distributes a prep packet that includes the client's tax and audit information. BARs are not the place to get up to speed. You show up up to speed.
MFA offers many services, each provided by a different, highly specialized team. BARs allow those specialists to share information, anecdotes, and impressions about clients so that everyone knows everything. At a BAR held prior to a tax assignment, for example, someone from wealth management might describe the client's aversion to talk of succession planning. The meeting participants identify facts the tax team will need to know and questions the client will probably ask. And they discuss what results will give this client the greatest satisfaction. "We come out knowing what we know, what we don't know, and where we should seek to have the biggest impact on their business," says William Andronico, also an MFA partner. (Parry points out that at most small companies, this kind of conversation "is a few people talking in the car on the way to the client's office.")
Over the course of the project, the tax team members will meet several times for a quick tire kick. Each time, they will ask, Has anything changed? Have we learned anything that should alter our strategy? If a best practice emerges during these meetings -- say, someone created an electronic template for collecting information that works better than the paper version -- the team shoots an e-mail about it to the rest of the firm.
To keep memories whole and impressions fresh, MFA tries to hold AARs within a day or two of a project's completion. The first question at an AAR: How do you think it went? "Everybody interprets things differently, so it's important to get subjectivity out of the way and have everyone agree on what happened," says Boyle.
The group next compares results with intentions formed at the BAR. Did the accounting firm save the client as much money as expected? If not, why not, and how can those mistakes be avoided? If something the firm did saved the client more, what practices can be enshrined for future jobs? The group also hashes over softer lessons: This client's CFO never makes a decision unilaterally, so make sure to copy the CEO on questions that need swift resolution. Never schedule meetings at the client's office, because there will be constant interruptions. Notes from the AAR go into the company's CRM software for when the client calls again.
One result of the AARs and BARs is that clients see those at MFA not just as accountants but as well-rounded businesspeople, says Andronico. Nothing falls through the cracks as clients move from one service to the next, and performance improves with each new gig. "In the old days, when there were just 30 of us, everybody pretty much heard everything," says Andronico. "But as you grow, you need a venue to pass on experiences, good and bad."
In addition, employees work harder to detect flaws and concoct fixes, because their ideas will live on long after the project has ended. "With action review cycles, people know they'll have to sit in a room with their peers and focus, with rigor, on whether things are working," says Parry. "And they know that the system will be listening."

Through the sound of a crying nation we are all going down together. We've bened warned. I have sworn. We have walked the rode empty. Expecting nothing more. There is more. There is safety in a time of changing. When one falls we will pick him up. Even lost sheep is a forgiven soul. Seek and he will hold your heart.Knock and no longer will you search for purpose. Death is no longer the end. But instead the beginning of new life. he will draw you near he will make the broken rode clear. He will carry all your tears. And when your falling from the edge he will grab your hand.

Nobuyuki Matsuhisa began his
career modestly swabbing floors and carrying fresh fish at Tokyo's venerable Matsuei,
where he learned the sushi-making secrets that underpin "Nobu" food. Next he
worked in Peru and Argentina, adding Latin-American influences to his repertoire. When he
opened his flagship Matsuhisa in Beverly Hills in 1987, it was the first step in the
making of an international superstar of Japanese-inspired cooking.
The secret to preparing Japanese cuisine at home is an understanding
of the basic ingredients and how a meal is composed. The culinary methods used are
basically very simple and this book shows you how with step-by-step instructions. With a
glossary of sushi terms and a section on sushi etiquette, making or ordering sushi will
never be intimidating again.
With clean, fresh flavors and great good
looks, sushi has never been so popular. It's delicious as a light meal or as part of a
more substantial Japanese dinner and makes perfect party food. The term "sushi"
is taken from sumeshi, meaning vingeared rice, a vital part of all sushi dishes. In Easy
Sushi Japanese food writer Emi Kazuko shows you how to cook the rice perfectly and how to
make simple rolled sushi using classic ingredients such as cucumber, tuna, or salmon. once
you've mastered the easy ones you can explore more adventurous variations, using
easy-to-find ingredients. Emi's philosophy is that creating sushi should be fun and there
is even a section on sushi for children. If you thought making sushi was strictly for the
professionals, Easy Sushi will amaze you. With Emi's simple-to-prepare recipes, all
captured by leading food photographer Peter Cassidy, you will never eat take-out sushi
Make Your Own Japanese Clothes: Patterns and Ideas
for Modern Wear
by John Marshall, Steven Jenner (Photographer)
Already a longtime hit in Japan,
"Iron Chef" is taking over America-and this is the first and only official guide
to "the culinary equivalent of the Friday night fights" (Orange County
Register).Each episode of this "oddly addictive"* show features a cook-off
between one of the valiant Iron Chefs and a guest chef bold enough to challenge him. With
pro-wrestling style theatrics, bad dubbing, and high-intensity plate-by-plate commentary,
"Iron Chef" has boiled over into a bona fide phenomenon.The book-first published
in Japan but with added material for the American audience-features full-color photos, an
episode guide, recipes, interviews with all the Iron Chefs, and much more. The heat is
on...and the fans' mouths will be watering for this authentic insider's guide.
For nearly thirty years, Katsuyo Kobayashi has been showing people
how to make good food with a minimum of fuss. She's Japan's most trusted and popular
television cooking personality, and the best-selling author of 140 books.
In The Quick and Easy Japanese Cookbook, she presents
foolproof recipes that anyone can make. All the ingredients are readily available outside
Japan, and the cooking methods are kept simple and straightforward.
A large full-color photograph of each completed dish is
shown opposite the recipe, for easy reference. Small photos of the cooking process, also
in color, are in the right-hand margin, with notes from Kobayashi about points to remember
or substitutions that can be made for ingredients that may be less familiar. Calories and
preparation time are noted for each dish.
This is real Japanese family-style food--the kind that you
won't find in restaurants but that people are really eating every day, at home. Japanese
cooking today is made rich in variety by Asian and European influences, and this book
reflects that diversity. Many of the great traditional recipes of Japan are here, such as
Japanese Pan-Fried Chicken and Tofu with Sweet Miso Sauce, but so are recipes that came to
Japan from China and were adapted to Japanese tastes, like Gyoza Pot Stickers, Steamed
Shumai Dumplings, and Banbanji Chilled Sesame Chicken. There's Japanese-style curry, and
the popular "Omrice"--delicious flavored rice wrapped inside a thin omelette.
There are even Japanese-style hamburgers, flavored with soy sauce and sake.
Now, you can enjoy Japanese home cooking without ever
leaving home.

Practical Japanese Cooking: Easy and Elegant
by Shizuo Tsuji, Koichiro Hata, Yohsikatsu Saeki, Yoshikatsu Saeki
Okay, you can walk into your favorite sushi bar and order the tuna
roll in Japanese; that's a good start. But there's more to life than teriyaki, tempura,
and sushi. With descriptions of grilled chicken skewers (yakitori), hearty
plates of pork cutlets (tonkatsu), barbecue (robatayaki), and steaming rice
bowls topped with grilled eel (unagi donburi), Robb Satterwhite lets you in on a
world of Japanese cuisine that's little known east of Tokyo, but well worth learning.
While eating out in Japan can be an exotically delicious dining
experience, it is not without its potential pitfalls. How do you tell a poisonous piece of
puffer-fish from an innocuous piece of sushi? Squeamish About Sushi is a tantalizing,
tongue-in-cheek guide to Japanese food-an indispensable reference for ex-pats, visitors,
and Japanophiles everywhere! Squeamish About Sushi will help confused eaters to:
* Decipher the menu
* Avoid unwise dining decisions
* Stay within their budget
* And much, much more
Sushi, that so typical Japanese food, has a
history going back to prehistoric times. Over the centuries it has been refined into a
surprising number of variations, from the simplest everyday fare--such as tuna wrapped in
vinegared rice and crisp vitamin-rich nori seaweed--to elegant and imaginative sushi
created for festive occasions. The centerpiece of this book is Edomae-zushi, the delicate,
natural, fresh variety first made in Tokyo in the early nineteenth century and now popular
throughout the world.
The sushi shop, with its scrubbed wooden counter and
fillets of raw fish sleeping in refrigerated cases right before the diner's eyes, is a
memorable experience in itself but faced with such variety--and the special vocabulary of
the sushi world--how and what does one order, how does one truly appreciate it? The
answers are all here. The reader of The Book of Sushi will come to understand the basics
of what the sushi chef must learn during his long apprenticeship: how fish and other
seafoods are carefully selected, the season when certain species are at their best, how
the fish and rice and other ingredientssome fresh from the mountains rather than the
sea--are prepared in the most tasteful and tasty way. Here, too, are the utensils and
techniques, fully illustrated, of sushi making and an assessment of the nutritional value
of this marvelous, low-calorie source of vitamins and healthy, uncontaminated protein.
The focus is always on the traditional--the best sushi--and
with this beautifully illustrated book as a guide, the reader will know not only how to
enjoy the sushi shop with savoir-faire, how, in fact, to become a connoisseur, but how to
make and serve this intriguing, delightfully refreshing dish at home. Whether you're a
near connoisseur or virtual novice, there's always more to learn about sushi. The Book of
Sushi is jammed with tips on how to make these succulent morsels yourself, or order them
like a veteran at a sushi bar. Learn to tell at a glance if fish is really fresh. Learn
just what the sushi master's training entails. Learn just how good for you this dish
really is. There's just one drawback: the more you learn about sushi, the more you'll
probably start liking it. You may find sushi getting to be a habit.

Japanese Homestyle Cooking
by Tokiko Suzuki
In the past North Americans have
not been great fans of Japanese food, perhaps feeling it to be too alien in style and
ingredients. But at last revolution has taken place: witness the popularity of sushi and
its appearance in every supermarket as well as the explosion in the number of noodle bars.
Consumers too have rediscovered a liking for fish and now even raw fish. Much has also
been written recently about the health benefits of miso and green tea. Japanese food is
finally being appreciated.
It is in fact a cuisine rich in foods which are good for
you; it has been shown to help prevent disease, and is above all tasty. The style of
eating too is conducive to good health: lots of little dishes with small portions, eaten
slowly over the course of an evening. It is like Spanish tapas or Greek meze, and just as
convivial, especially when accompanied by sake, Japanese rice wine.
Simplicity is one of the surprising and pleasing elements
about Japanese cooking. It is similar to Mediterranean cooking which relies on fresh
ingredients, simply prepared.
Shirley Booth, who lived in Japan for many years and has
taught Japanese cooking to both Japanese and foreigners, gives us a wonderful, engaging
history of Japanese food, its styles and traditions-from Imperial cooking to temple
cooking and the food of the Yatai or street vendors. She explains every aspect of this
great cuisine, the ingredients, the techniques, the essential equipment, the importance of
color and presentation. She then goes to share over 200 recipes which she has cooked time
and time again. Soups, broths, dumplings, noodle dishes, tempura, sushi, pickles,
wonderful tempting classic dishes such as Eggplant with Miso Topping, Broad Beans and
Wakame and some simple dishes with a new twist such as Tofu with Peanut and Pumpkin Sauce.
Japanese food is very much the food of today, try some of
these recipes and discover a whole new world of sensational flavors and textures.

Healthy Japanese Cooking
by Hiroko Fukuhara, Yasuko Takahata
In recent years, Japanese food
has become a welcome part of the Western eating experience, adding a new and pleasurable
dimension both to dining out and cooking at home. Yet while many Westerners have eaten
Japanese food and have come to appreciate it for its attractive presentation and light,
delicate flavors, relatively few are well acquainted with its origins and development, how
it is traditionally served and eaten, and how it has evolved through history to fit into
the life and culture of the Japanese people.
In this informative and gracefully written volume, renowned
author and critic Donald Richie provides a lively examination of the popular foods of
Japan, including not only well-established Western favorites like sushi, tempura, and
sukiyaki, but more esoteric fare. Oikefugu, the highly-prized blowfish that can be deadly
if not prepared properly, and unagi, the delicate grilled eel that represents one of the
pinnacles of Japanese cuisine. The unlikely reasons for the popularity of deep fried pork
cutlets (tonkatsu) in a non-meat-eating culture, the special place of noodles in the
Japanese food pantheon, the varieties of forms in which rice can be found, from stuffed
riceballs (onigiri) to pounded cakes (mochi)--all these and more are revealed in Donald
Richie's engaging anecdotal style. Sections on Japanese pickles, sweets, sake, and tea
complete this captivating survey of the delights of the Japanese table.
Whether you are contemplating a trip to Japan, a visit to
the nearest Japanese restaurant, or a foray into cooking with Japanese ingredients
yourself, these fourteen excursions into the world of Japanese food make it possible for
you to approach its varied delights with confidence, understanding, and unending pleasure.
Sushi at Home
by Kay Shimizu
Simple & Delicious Japanese Cooking
by Keiko Hayashi
Sushi: Making at Home
by Yasuko Kamimura, Kazuhiko Nagai
Some mornings you wake up, roll
out of bed, and you just know it's a cold soba kind of day. Sound familiar? But if
you don't happen to live or work near Japanese noodle restaurants, you're kind of out of
luck. "The Japanese," writes Emi Kazuko, author of Caf� Japan, one of
the Conran Caf� series, "cannot survive, even for a few days, without a bowl of
noodles.... So it's not surprising to come across a Soba-ya (noodle shop) every ten yards
or so on any high street in Japan." Yeah, well, what about the rest of us?
Fortunately, Kazuko strips away the mystery from Cold Soba,
much as she does from many other caf�-style dishes you would find in Japan. And where
words might fail, the fine color photography used throughout the Caf� series beautifully
illustrates just the point the author wants to convey.
Small cafes and bistros in Japan specialize in one item,
yakitori, say, or tempura. In other words, there's no such thing as a "Japanese"
restaurant in Japan. Fortunately for the Western cook, Kazuko has pulled all these
disparate specialists into one food court where ease and simplicity are the hallmarks of
You will find familiar soups and appetizers such as Miso
Soup with Tofu and Snow Peas, Clear Soup with Mussels and Watercress, Fried Giant Prawns,
and Soft-Cooked Octopus. Main Dishes include Seared Yuan Salmon, Ginger Pork, Chicken
Teriyaki, Udon with Curry Soup and, of course, Soba. There are many dishes here that
define the popular palate in Japan, but remain more obscure in the West. Kazuko's great
talent is making familiar what might seem exotic. If you have suffered a fear of cooking
Japanese food, this is a great place to start. And the next time the sun rises on a Cold
Soba kind of day, you'll know just what to do. --Schuyler Ingle

Infrastructure & Urban Development
In an industry characterized by a slow adoption of technological changes, this initiative explores the role that disruptive and innovative technologies, new business models and the unavoidable reduction of environmental impact will have in shaping the industry's future. It will also provide a set of recommendations for engineering and construction companies to better navigate in such a challenging landscape. The initiative will span multiple sectors, including chemicals, information technology and telecommunications, as well as the infrastructure and urban development industries.
Global Strategic Infrastructure – Infrastructure Development for Economic Corridors
Global demand for infrastructure is estimated at about $4 trillion in annual expenditure and current investment peaks at $3 trillion, creating an infrastructure gap of $1 trillion a year. This initiative addresses the imbalance by developing frameworks and sharing best practices at the global and regional levels. It focuses on infrastructure development for economic corridors, which provide important access to and connections with economic nodes and essentially allow for new investment while creating new markets. The initiative will also contribute to the Global Infrastructure Investors Forum, which seeks to develop innovative financing and risk mitigation models for mobilizing private capital into infrastructure projects. Global insights captured through the initiative will be applied in selected country and regional deep dives.
Future of Urban Development & Services
Bringing together business leaders from the infrastructure, urban development, mobility, ICT, energy and health sectors, as well as government representatives and leading experts, this initiative identifies cities in regions around the world that are facing major urban development challenges. The goal is to help these cities transition towards a smarter, more sustainable future through new models of urban development and innovation.
Real Estate – Emerging Horizons
This initiative delves into the mechanisms of asset pricing to learn how to detect when and why bubbles emerge and how consequences can be mitigated. In its second year, the project will focus on effective and practical mitigation solutions. It will develop actionable recommendations as well as facilitate high-level multistakeholder discussions about how consequences of asset bubbles can be limited through innovative solutions.
Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI) – Building Foundations Against Corruption
Given that corruption is among the greatest obstacles to economic and social development, this initiative seeks to address opportunities that exist for industry-wide engagement on anti-corruption solutions that are mutually beneficial to traditional industry competitors and associated stakeholders. By fostering CEO and government collaboration to build a framework for open and transparent business practices, the initiative aims to tackle specific corruption risks, particularly in the infrastructure, engineering, construction and real estate sectors.

Chiefs To Work Out Versatile Tar Heel
The North Carolina Tar Heels basketball team is still alive in the big dance, but it's the UNC football team that will get the attention of the Kansas City Chiefs this week. TE/FB Ryan Taylor is scheduled to work out for Chiefs TE coach Bernie Parmalee on Wednesday, according to NFP.
A special-teams captain for the Tar Heels, Taylor offers positional versatility because he can play fullback or H-back and is regarded as a physical, aggressive player.
Taylor had 19 special-teams tackles two seasons ago, also operating as a reserve linebacker.
I'm a little surprised the Chiefs would take the time to work out a guy like Taylor. Not because he wouldn't fit in Kansas City, but because he seems to be a great fit. Taylor is likely a guy that will be available as an undrafted free agent (whenever free agency opens) so why show your cards with a work out?
Even though two years ago he played a little reserve linebacker, Taylor played exclusively on offense and special teams in 2010. In fact, due to an injury to TE Zack Pianalto, Taylor finished fourth on the team in receptions with 36 for 330 and two touchdowns. In the Tar Heels 30-27 bowl game victory over Tennessee, Taylor led UNC with 9 catches.
Already talked about as one of the hardest hitters on North Carolina, proving he can come in and catch the ball in addition to blocking both as a tight end and fullback will help Taylor make the Chiefs or any team that takes a chance on the 23-year-old.

|Transport of side-chain oxidized oxysterols in the human circulation.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9630709 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|To study the transport of 24-hydroxycholesterol, 27-hydroxycholesterol and 3beta-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid in the circulation, the distribution of these oxysterols was determined in plasma, very low density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, high density lipoprotein, and lipoprotein-free plasma. An accurate method based on isotope dilution-mass spectrometry with use of individual deuterium labeled internal standards was used. 24-Hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol were found to be associated mainly with HDL and LDL, whereas 3beta-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid was found predominantly in the lipoprotein-free fraction. While both 24-hydroxycholesterol and 27-hydroxycholesterol are present mainly in esterified form in plasma, 3beta-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid was present as free acid only. For reasons of comparison, a number of other oxysterols were determined in plasma and in isolated lipoprotein fractions. Significant amounts of these oxysterols were formed by cholesterol autoxidation during fractionation of plasma. It was therefore not possible to calculate the distribution of these oxysterols in the different plasma fractions. The present results are consistent with our previous finding that the less polar cholesterol metabolite 27-hydroxycholesterol competes with cholesterol for transport out of cells using HDL as an acceptor molecule, whereas the transport of the more polar compound 3beta-hydroxy-5-cholestenoic acid is facilitated by albumin.

We created Pandora to put the Music Genome Project directly in your hands
It's a new kind of radio –
stations that play only music you like
In 1991, Steelheart released their self-titled debut, most notable for its octave-spanning vocals and a pair of hit power ballads: "Never Let You Go," which reached number 14 on the Billboard singles chart; and "She's Gone," which fared well internationally. The band quickly began work on its sophomore effort, Tangled in Reins, which was released a year later. But tragedy was lurking just around the corner -- at a Halloween show opening for Slaughter at McNichol's Arena in Denver, CO, Matijevic was struck in the head by a lighting truss, knocking him to the ground face first and injuring his skull, jaw, nose, and spine. The country's musical climate changed dramatically during Matijevic's recovery, resulting in the band calling it a day shortly thereafter. But by 2000, the group had re-formed and issued a third album, titled Wait, with Matijevic serving as the only original member. ~ Greg Prato

Absolutely merit based. Why do we continue to reward mediocrity? - John Salata
Merit based ... work hard and you will be rewarded. - Elizabeth V.
I think it should be only for children that have lived in New Mexcio and not ones that have just moved here. If you're Illegal then you shouldn't be getting this. - April Griego Mondragon
On editorial questioning survey that ranked NMSU as the second-most dangerous campus: There's a lot of crime in some areas of town! In our old house we had attempted break-ins at 11 in the morning, several accounts of grafitti vandalism on our walls and soliciting gangs around our house. - Ashley Coghill
I feel safe at NMSU, regardless of me staying super late doing homework. I do carry my pepper spray, just in case, but really, and thank goodness, nothing has happened. I would welcome those to check out the campus and do observations every time. See if we are still "second-most dangerous college campus in America." - Jessuita Soto
It's a ridiculous claim. I went to NMSU for 10 years, and not a single incident, including walking late at night from the library to my car. My daughter now attends, and she stays late just about ever day. Not to say that it's 100% safe, but especially as a female, you must always take precautions... there are bad people everywhere. - Angelica Anchieta Webster
On low water levels at Elephant Butte Still would like to know why did former Gov. Richardson almost drain EB. Correct me if I'm wrong, but on his first term he ordered or directed to open the gates to Elephant Butte Dam. If it wasn't for the community in Elephant Butte NM to protest and stop the draining Elephant Butte would have been a river. - George Reid
Can the Sun-News post a graphic showing the ground water level in the Mesilla Bolson over the last twenty years. This is headed toward disaster and we need to be aware and willing to take steps to mitigate the impact. The sooner the better. - Bill McKinney
This is very saddening. From when I was like 8 this place was full of water and didn't have the water lines. Lions beach was full the bathrooms were so close to the water. - Vanessa Fae Diaz

Right, let's make China the patsy for American fiscal mismanagement!
America would function perfectly if we shoved DC into the ocean.
The article misses the point. Mr. R. stakes out a tough bargaining position vs. China. A law gives no room for negotiation. R. 1 Dems 0
I don't know how we can petition the WTO for sanctions - duties when the US has through the Fed manipulated the value of our currency through expansion of the US money supply by over $2.5 trillion and made our products more competitive for the huge export results that we have had over the past couple of yrs. Although that policy has increased the price of oil, it has been a boon for our manufacturing and exports. But I would think that it would be debated by WTO as hypocritical after gigantic usd manipulation by this country and then point a finger at another industrial country for doing the same thing. I am glad that we are more competitive because for Fed policy, but we have done the same thing as they have and we need China - the aggregate demand of 1.3 billion other people who can buy a lot of our farm goods, etc. We just have to figure out how to turn that into opportunity for this country - it is huge.
So it's called currency manipulation when the Chinese do the same thing the US Fed Reserve does to them?
What is it called when the US Federal Reserve does it to us? (You know, devalue your savings/money)
There is no greater threat to the security and prosperity of the United States today than the out-of-control, secretive Federal Reserve.
Imagine that parents, overwhelmed by debt and months behind on their bills, sent their spendthrift teenagers out each weekend for a night on the town with credit cards and blank checks. Would anyone be surprised if this family never got their finances under control?
Yet that is how a government which is almost 15 trillion dollars in the red behaves by entrusting taxpayers' financial futures to the Federal Reserve, which pumps money into the economy whenever it chooses and makes secret deals with Wall Street executives, foreign central banks, and other politically-connected insiders without any significant oversight from Congress.
Snuck through Congress on Christmas Eve in 1913, the Federal Reserve Act established the Fed as America's central bank. The Fed essentially creates money out of thin air, manipulates interest rates, and interferes with the free market. By doing so, the Fed fuels our economy's boom-bust cycle and has helped devalue our dollar by over 95%.
According to the Minneapolis Federal Reserve branch's own website, what you could buy with $1.00 in 1913 would now cost you $22.55.
Although Congress and the Treasury helped bring about the housing bubble and financial collapse with legislation, regulations, and keeping the funds flowing to reckless institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the Fed was the main cause of the crisis. Its interference in setting interest rates distorted the market, and its status as the "lender of last resort" ensured banks could hook individuals and businesses for loans on projects that weren't in as high demand as forecasters believed.
When the crash occurred, common sense dictated a change in policy. But the Federal Reserve only increased its lending and intervention to historic highs.
While selling Americans a bill of goods that the economy would never recover without unprecedented bailouts, we now know that at the peak of its "emergency lending," the Fed was providing nearly 90% of its discount window loans to foreign banks! This included making over 70 loans to a bank partially owned by the Bank of Libya.
The Fed was able to get away with these actions because Congress lacks the authority to thoroughly and completely audit it. In fact, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke appeared before Congress early in the crisis and was able to refuse a direct request to disclose which institutions were receiving trillions of taxpayer dollars from the Fed.
It was only thanks to overwhelming grassroots support for Ron Paul's Audit the Fed legislation that we have been granted limited insight into the Fed's operations. If it hadn't been for last minute efforts to water down his bill, we would have learned even more about the Fed's actions before and during the crisis.
As President, Ron Paul will work for passage of comprehensive audit legislation, and he will also fight to legalize sound money so Americans will have alternatives to the Fed's inflated paper money.
Ultimately, he will lead the charge to end the dishonest, immoral, and unconstitutional Federal Reserve System, enabling America to take a giant step toward economic security, financial responsibility, and lasting prosperity.
Another anouncemnt where Mr Romney is way ahead in the presidential race,…so the public see this,the public gets impressed by it,…utimaletly, the public turns to Romney,… and the GOP and associates groups will be happy.
You know what?….this thing of. "…Romney is up…",…"Romney has double digits…",Romney this, and Romney that,……..all that fanfare is just tactics and strategy.
The man is a younger version of the classic rino-type / deal maker / cross over party lines fallacy for talking and do nothing.
So lets's consider what we can call " BEHIND THE ROMNEY FACTOR", shall we?
It comes down to one thing;…the so obvious the fear , if not terror, about Sarah Palin.
Just walk with me.
On one side the Obama groups are trying the only thing they got to fight her,… continue and amplify their attacks on character , inuendos, everything they can get their hands on…to the point that even are promoting the idea that Romney is a good challenge and so they are – leting pass – that Mr Romney is higher in the polls over Mr Obama.
On the other side (the republicans) are echoing that claim. Reality is that Mr Romney enunciated that he…"will try to get 'OBAMACARE' repealed…"
Did anyone notice?…'he will – TRY – ….just that, TRY…because he is not really into that,… for he has a similar health plan there in Massachusset as bad as the OBAMACARE….very expensive, bad for the private sector and takes a lot of monetary power out from the people….A REAL MONEY OVER-DRAINER.
So, in others words, Mr Romney is like let's say,…a younger version of the GOP RINO-TYPE deal maker and compromising -oriented. So Romney fits well for the GOP , and the OBAMA TEAM feels very confident to roll over him (or any other like him from the GOP) on 2012…anyone,…but one...Gov Sarah Palin.
The so called gap of advance that Romney or any other GOP/Democrat/Pollters fabricated candidate might be presented , isgoing to make no difference when the real presidential elections comes to be,… for that so called 'winning-gap' will be eliminated by FRAUD….does anyone remembers the situation on 2008? – McCain obvious winnig-gap (due to Sarah Palin) was ahead…and all of the sudden….'everything turned oposite'…reason?, FRAUD!
Bottom line ;… Sarah Palin is a nightmare,…actually THE NIGHTMARE for democrats and the old GOP establishment.
Everyone in Washington, left and right are aware that with her in presidency their little world of CORRUPTION, SABOTAGE AND ABUSE AGAINST THIS COUNTRY WILL COME TO AN END.
We,the people knows this very well, don't we?
Nobody needs to have a phD in quantum-physics to be able understand this,…correct?
Opinions welcome.

I wonder how many fifth-column quislings at CATO, Club for Growth, Chamber of Commerce, Petersen and the US-China Business Council will still denounce "alarmists" after China sinks an American warship. The free-traders are the countryless merchants that Jefferson warned us about. There's a lamp post waiting for them.

Troy University has been named a top-tier school among its peers in the latest national ranking by U.S. News and World Report.
Troy was one of four colleges in the state to be named the "Best Masters University."
The criteria were biased on graduation rate, class size, test scores and retention rate.
"We're proud of troy university. We're proud of our past. We thing we know where we're going in the future. It's certainly encouraged to hear from others how well we're doing," said Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr.
The other Alabama schools were Samford, Spring Hill College, and University of Montevallo.

The Emergency Management director for Mason County has been seriously injured after a boat he was on exploded.
It happened on the Ohio River near Aberdeen, Ohio. That's just across the river from Maysville.
Jack Fultz had done it many times before, put his houseboat in the water for the season. His friend says Wednesday, Fultz successfully started one engine and then when to check on another when it exploded.
Another man, Joe Brewer, was able to jump from the boat into the water, but Fultz, an experienced boater and retired Maysville firefighter was badly burned.
It took firefighters nearly an hour to put the flames out and small sporadic explosions were visible. It's still unclear what caused the explosion
Fultz remains at the University of Cincinnati Hospital.

I am writing to thank columnist Scott Mahnken for informing the public of the destruction of our Garden State Parkway ("Picturesque Parkway no more," Feb. 8).
I agree with Mahnken's commentary 100 percent. Why was this not brought before the public for a hearing, especially for those of us who live where this destruction is taking place?
Do our state legislators, local representatives and the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which handles the Parkway, not know what they are doing? It is my belief that if the public had been merely notified of these changes when they were proposed, there would have been an outcry against it.
It used to be such a pleasure, any time of year, as Mahnken stated, to ride this road, watch the trees blooming in spring, see their glory in summer, watch the deer alongside the road in all their beauty, drive amid the beauty of changing leaves in the fall, and yes, even the white beauty of snow in the trees in the winter.
We, the citizens of New Jersey, pay dearly to drive this once great roadway. Do we not have a say in what is proposed for it?
What is the purpose of all this destruction? Do we not deserve an answer to that?

Gareth Bale
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is adamant Gareth Bale will not be sold, despite the Welshman indicating he wants to speak to Real Madrid.
The Spanish giants have stepped up their interest but Spurs are refusing to countenance selling Bale even in the face of a possible record £85m bid, reports the BBC.
Real have yet to submit a written offer but Bale is keen to explore their interest, having always dreamt of playing for the Bernabeu club.
Spurs remain hopeful they can persuade the forward, who was both PFA player and young player of the year last season, to stay at White Hart Lane for at least another season with contract talks under way.
Real are expected to formalise their interest in the coming week and test Tottenham's resolve to hang to a player who scored 26 goals in all competitions last season.
Tottenham arrived back in London on Sunday from their final pre-season matches in Hong Kong. Bale, 24, did not play in either of the club's matches in the Asia Trophy because of a muscle problem.
In May, Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett told a Spanish television show that his client would be honoured to hear from Madrid president Florentino Perez.
With Real stepping up their interest, the Bale camp this weekend told leading figures at Spurs of their client's wish to be able to discuss the possibility of a move to Spain. But Tottenham will not be swayed.
On Friday, Spurs manager Andre Villas Boas refused to answer questions on Bale's situation, except to say contact talks were continuing.
It remains to be seen whether Bale plays in Tottenham's friendly against Monaco this weekend, but in Spain there are already suggestions that new Real manager Carlo Ancelotti is preparing for the arrival of the Welshman.
On Saturday, Ancelotti moved Cristiano Ronaldo away from the left flank and into a more central role during the pre-season friendly win over PSG in Sweden, prompting speculation that the Italian is attempting to find a new system to accommodate both Bale and Ronaldo.

Amyris opens biodiesel demo plant in Brazil
- Details
- Category: Biodiesel
26 Aug 2009
- Published on Wednesday, 26 August 2009 08:45
- Hits (1931)
Fill it up: Brazilians use more ethanol than gasoline in their cars, having had policies that support biofuels since the 1970s. STOCKXPERT
Amyris Brasil Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento, Ltda., a wholly owned subsidiary of Amyris Biotechnologies, Inc., has opened the Amyris Renewable Products Demonstration Facility in Campinas, Brazil. This facility will be the last step before the company starts commercial production.
The first of its kind in Brazil, the facility is built amid Brazil's bustling sugar cane industry. Though a demo plant, it can produce more than 10,000 gallons of Amyris products under conditions representing full-scale manufacturing. It also gives Amyris the ability to test and validate its commercial equipment design and manufacturing processes before commercial production planned for 2011.
For 2012, Amyris plans to work with independent mill owners through "capital-light" agreements. The company provides the technology and the distribution while mill owners use their mills to produce Amyris renewable products.
One of their initial products is biodiesel fuel they claim can outperform petroleum-sourced fuels and other biofuels out on the market. Amyris renewable diesel has hydrocarbons found in today's petroleum fuels, enabling it to blend with petroleum diesel at much higher levels than typical biofuels without causing performance issues. Last April, the US Environmental Protection Agency's approval made it the first hydrocarbon-based fuel made from plant-derived resources for commercial sale.
The company also recently completed its first successful demonstration drive using this fuel. The renewable diesel fuel powered a 30-passenger hybrid diesel bus used by International Olympic Committee members who were visiting Chicago to assess the city's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games in April.
"This facility represents a crucial step toward the commercialization of our fuels and chemicals," said John Melo, Amyris Biotechnologies chief executive officer.
Brazilians use more ethanol than gasoline in their cars. The country has had policies that support biofuels since the 1970s. Brazil is the world's number one exporter of ethanol and is moving into biodiesel production.
"The new facility represents the intersection of the best of today's renewable technologies with Brazil's extensive resources, with promising implications for the Brazilian cane industry, our energy needs and the environment," said Fernando Reinach, a member of the Amyris Biotechnologies board of directors.

Michigan is blessed with three major research universities, and an annual economic report once again highlights their contributions to the state's economy and its future prospects. Michigan State University, Wayne State University and the University of Michigan - banded together as the University Research Corridor - together generated $16.6 billion in economic activity in 2012, according to the report by Anderson Economic Group of East Lansing. They helped support 66,000 direct and in-direct jobs.
The report benchmarks URC against other university clusters across the country, including the Research Triangle Park in North Carolina and Massachusetts' Route 128 Corridor. The URC schools ranked second in an innovation power ranking compared to the seven other research clusters. They were first in the number of graduate and undergraduate degrees conferred in 2012, at 32,483. The URC ranked first in talent, fourth in research and seventh in commercialization of its research - an area where more can be done, obviously.
The URC has an increasingly high profile and continues to provide economic stimulus for the state. The Facility for Rare Isotope Beams at MSU, which will generate $1 billion in economic activity in this first decade of development, is just one example. Michigan must continue to nurture and leverage the resources at its URC institutions.
Ice storm strains budgets
Most residents already know they didn't much care for the Dec. 21 ice storm that knockedout power for much of the region, including some who waited as long as 10 days to see their electricity restored.
Soon we'll see more negative impact from the ice storm in the form of costs to local governments. An incomplete total collected last week suggested the costs to local governments are at least $400,000 and likely to grow. That's because communities like Lansing are still collecting and disposing of storm debris like downed tree limbs, which will add to costs.
And the Lansing Board of Water & Light and Consumers Energy had not yet reported their storm-related costs, which will be sizable given both labor and equipment needed to restore power to tens of thousands of customers across the region.
Michigan doesn't face the horrors of hurricane risk common in coastal states or the savage wildfires more common in the west. But the mitten state gets a full dose of winter weather, some years worse than others. It seems 2014 means to test both Michiganders' mettle and their community coffers.

Costume Jewellery by Martin James
The other day at the airport whilst this Diamond Chick Jetted off somewhere I was wandering around the Duty Free Shop, as you do...
Now, Im not one to buy jewellery for myself at all but some jewellery really caught my eye. I think it was called Costume Jewellery By Martin James. It was huge gemstone jewellery on lovely silver mounts....just lovely.
I fell in love with a huge square yellow gemstone on a thick silver mount....I have worn it every day and everyone comments on it. 15 pounds! what a bargain. I love it.
But then I love my Blue Topaz and Garnet Ring too and can feel a difference in the quality i.e the way the ring sits on my finger etc or could it just be that I know the stones are real. Its a bit like the "Designer" thing isnt it...wearing fake or wearing the real thing.
Anyway for 15 pounds it will look great with a couple of outfits and through the summer and if it doesnt last much longer then well Cést la vie.

text: China is a vast, confusing, and often contradictary place. Full of beautiful sights, tasty food, and interesting things. With a difficult and sometimes impenetrable language China is not an easy place for any foreigner to simply take a visit to. Rather, experience with China is something that can take months and years to fully cultivate. With an ancient culture there is much of China that remains locked in tradition, however the rapid pace of its modernization is astounding. Truly a place to go to understand more of one's self.
