You probably have never thought about it, but we eat a lot of foods with a color in their names. Before you continue reading, see how many foods with a color in their names you can list. Remember, this is not the color of the food. Rather, it is a food with the actual color being part of the food's name.
Let's start with the color black since that color appears in more foods than other colors. There are blackberries, black-eyed peas, black beans, black lentils, blacken fish, blacken chicken, black forest ham, black forest cake, black olives, black pepper, and black tea.
There are just as many foods with red these names as with black. They include red beans, red potatoes, red onions, red pepper, red eye gravy, red beans, red lobster, red grapes, red cabbage, red velvet cake and red wine. There are green beans, green peas, collard greens, green apples, green olives, green peppers, green grapes, and green tea. There are yellow corn meal, yellow corn, yellow squash, and white corn.
There are blueberries and blue cheese. We can buy either apple brown Betty, brown sugar, brownies, brown eggs, brown gravy, brown rice or white rice. Along with white rice, we can buy white potatoes, white bread, white corn, white potaotoes, white chocolate, egg whites, and white grapes. We can buy foods in pink such as pink salmon and pink lemonade. One can't help but remember that orange is the name of a fruit that is named after its color. Also, there is orange juice There are yellow squash, yellow peppers, yellow corn meal and yellow cake. The only purple food that comes to mind is purple cabbage. While navy is not a basic color, it is a shade of blue. Therefore, we include navy beans. Peach is a color that represent the peach fruit so we include peach cobbler and peach pie.
The next meal you have, pay attention to which foods you are eating with a color in its name. You will be surprised to notice how many of our everyday foods are identified with a. Play a game with your kids by describing the food and letting them guess the color. At meal times, let each of your children take turns picking a food named after a color for dinner.
Make sure you view the slideshow to see some of these foods with a color in their names.

My husband and I went to see Tell No One last night in the indy theatre downtown (based on the thriller by Harlan Coben.) Very good movie–there were only a few spots where I had to cover my eyes and ask John to let me know when the violence was over. At one point, my hands still plastered over my eyes, I thought the music sounded different. He'd gotten so caught up in the story, he'd forgotten his assignment. Subtitles can be a grind, but neither of us minded the French. In fact I majored in French in college, but my "mastery" has declined. Francois Cluzet is absolutely adorable. Here's a review from the BBC–yes you had to suspend disbelief, but the acting and the action was so good, we simply didn't mind.
Most exciting is that Harlan himself is going to be the guest of honor at Crime Bake this year. So it tickled me to see his cameo in the movie–you can't miss him, he's a head taller than the star as he follows him at a train station, and grinning like a monkey.

CeBIT 2010: Preview of BIND 10 DNS Server
In the Open Source Project Lounge in Hall 2 of this year's CeBIT, the developers of BIND 10 presented a preview of the upcoming version of the nameserver and are looking for a contact to the community.
BIND 10 should replace the 10-year-old BIND 9, which BIND developers say constitutes 80 percent of all DNS servers. The anticipated BIND 10 new features should include better cluster capabilities. The server will not only run in a cluster, as many users are already running scripts to accomplish, but it should have a management interface for communication within the cluster.
The developers are also planning a generic interface for file storage whereby files, SQL databases, and other alternatives can connect. BIND 10 should thus be able to serve large registries with millions of entries or ISPs with many small zones, as program manager Shane Kerr explained to Linux Magazine Online. In the longer view, BIND 10 should include a complete rework of the DNSSEC security protocol.
BIND 10's development is under the non-profit Internet Systems Consortium's (ISC's) watchful eye; however, whereas BIND 9 was mainly the work of ISC developers, BIND 10 is more directed as a community project and, therefore, on a broader know-how basis. The ISC set up a project page with a wiki, repository access, and bugtracker expressly for the purpose. The first release should have a technology preview around March 19, 2010 that will show the results of BIND 10's first year of work. The first production version should be available in 2012.
Among the sponsors are country registries such as for Japan, Canada, and Germany; however, the project is also requesting support from other areas, to generate a product that will satisfy as many needs as possible. The server is written in C++ in certain performance-critical parts and in Python. Source code is under BSD licensing. Shane Kerr and his colleagues are ever present at CeBIT Open Source in Hall 2 of the Project Lounge.

Zaman newspaper publishes an interview with Richard Peppiatt, the reporter who quit his job at the Daily Star over its anti-Muslim bias.
From the paper:
"Richard Peppiatt, who worked as a full-time freelance journalist at the Daily Star for two years, claimed that editors forced journalists to fabricate news that suggested Muslims and immigrants were threatening national security.
"He said the fabricated stories were mainly related to Muslims, depicting them as a threat to British society. The defamatory stories became more widespread after the bombings in London on June 7, 2005 -- often referred to as 7/7 -- and the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on the United States.
"Especially since 7/7 and, to a degree, since 9/11, Muslims have certainly been painted as the 'cartoon baddy.' Definitely in the tabloids. Someone always has to be blamed, you can't just leave it up in the air when something happens; somebody always needs to take the blame. Sadly it's the Muslims that have been chosen to be portrayed as the 'baddies'."
On the lack of procedures for redress of grievance via the Press Complaints Commission given the limitations on third party complainants, Peppiatt said, "It was therefore challenging for Muslims to complain as there was no one individual being affected by the articles. However, it clearly does affect individuals as it affects the way people behave towards each other in society. I certainly came to understand that what we print in the media has a direct effect on the lives of individuals; this can lead to violence on the streets, based on what we write."
Peppiatt told the Leveson Inquiry that the Daily Star's claim that it didn't have an anti-Muslim bias was "like being presented with an apple and swearing blind it's a banana."
In November 2008, Media Workers Against the War (MWAW) wrote an open letter to the owner and editor of the Daily Star, Richard Desmond and Dawn Neeson respectively, urging that the paper desist from publishing sensationalist, misleading and distorted articles on Muslims arguing that they "pander[ed] to ignorance and prejudice against Muslims" and "encourage[ed] racist stereotyping and contempt".

Languages & Humanities Division
"Classics. Narrowly viewed, this term refers to the Ancient Latin and Greek languages, by means of which the student is introduced to the customs, feelings and thoughts, the life and literature of those early nations from which our own civilization has been so largely derived."
-- From the 1889-1890 Missouri Valley College course catalogue
The "classics" refers to the art, literature and history of the ancient Greek and Roman peoples, and the classics provided the founding of all academics at Missouri Valley College at the time of its founding.
Buy why study the classics today?
Good question. Here are some of the answers:
If you are planning to attend law school, there is not better preparation than studying classics. According to the Princeton Review:
- "Classics majors (and math majors) have the highest success rates of any majors in law school. Belive it or not: political science, economics, and pre-law majors lag fairly far behind."
Likewise, if you are pre-med, the PR has this to say about classics:
- "Check this out: according to Association of American Medical Colleges, students who major or double-major in Classics have a better success rate getting into medical school than do students who concentrate solely in biology, microbiology, and other branches of science. Crazy, huh?"
The icing on the cake is the performance of classics majors on the GRE, again from the PR:
- "Classics majors consistently have some of the highest scores on GREs of all undergraduates."
Pretty cool, huh? To what the PR says, one might add a few things.
First, studying the classics demonstrates that you are well-rounded, and this is especially true for those of you who are studying in a vocational field like business. Going into an interview with a double major in business and classics (or even a minor) may well give you an "in" to sell yourself ("I see you majored in business and classics? Tell us about that!")
Beyond beefing up your educational portfolio, studying the classics puts you in touch with some of the greatest literature in the world, literature that constitutes the bedrock of western civilization. The aggregate effect of reading Homer, Sophocles, Virgil, and other classical authors can be profound. Many students of the classics begin to see themselves and the world differently, and develop a sense of how they fit into the "big picture". In a world that is increasingly complex and fast paced, the grounding that the classical education offers can not only help students better cope with these complexities, but also meet the challenges of the 21st century head on using the wisdom of the ancients.

Detecting dark matter as it streams through detectors on Earth relies on knowledge of its phase space density on a scale comparable to the size of our Solar System. Numerical simulations predict that our galactic halo contains an enormous hierarchy of substructures, streams and caustics, the remnants of the merging hierarchy that began with tiny Earth-mass microhalos. If these bound or coherent structures persist until the present time, they could dramatically alter signatures for the detection of weakly interacting elementary particle dark matter. Using numerical simulations that follow the coarse grained tidal disruption within the Galactic potential and fine grained heating from stellar encounters, we find that microhalos, streams, and caustics have a negligible likelihood of impacting direct detection signatures implying that dark matter constraints derived using simple smooth halo models are relatively robust. We also find that many dense central cusps survive, yielding a small enhancement in the signal for indirect detection experiments.

Mines (10-4, 4-1 RMAC) posted a 25-14 win in the opening set despite just a .189 attack percentage – well below its average over the entire match (.330).
The Orediggers pushed their lead to 18-13 before benefitting from three errors over the final seven points to take the opener.
Mines posted a 25-20 victory in the second stanza before closing out the match behind a .576 attack percentage in the third to earn its sixth straight-set win of the season.
All-American Jackie Stabell lead the team's kill department for the eighth time this season with a game-high 15 while also adding six digs on defense. She posted her sixth match with an attack percentage higher than .300 with a .357 effort on Friday.
Sophomores Laura Beckmann and Sarah Pekarek followed with 11 and eight kills, respectively, and Beckmann led the squad with a game-high .455 attack percentage. Pekarek added a game-high 19 digs while recording her eight kills at a .350 clip in the squad's second win away from Lockridge Arena this season.
Mines was limited to just four blocks in the match after posting 23 against South Dakota Mines on Tuesday with two of the four coming from RMAC Defensive Player of the Week Melanie Wannamaker.
Freshman Danielle Johnson-Hazlewood added 39 assists and five digs defensively – pushing her season total of assists over 350 and her average above 11.5 digs per set.
Mines will continue its road trip tomorrow with a matchup against Chadron State at Armstrong Gymnasium in Chadron, Neb.

Nordic Hardware has posted an interview with Futuremark's Nicklas Renqvist. A couple details about 3DMark03 are covered. The interview also touched upon other subject of interest such as support for 64-bit computing and OpenGL.
[NH]: There has been some complaints that the CPU, RAM and MOBO influenced the scores too much, is this any different in the 03 version?More information @ Nordic Hardware
[FM]: As we have focused even more heavily on the Shaders in 3DMark®03, the graphics card is more of a bottleneck than it was in 2000 and 2001. 3DMark®03 comes with a separate CPU test for more in-depth CPU benchmarking.

During the course of this write-up, the writer seeks to explore an area which has not been researched enough, both within South Asia, and outside the region; the potential role of Punjabi identity in narrowing the divide and acting as a bridge between India and Pakistan.
At the outset, it would be important to familiarize all of you with the term "Punjab" and its geographical location (though I presume, that most, if not all of you would be more than familiar with the Punjab and its geographical location). The word Punjab, means "Land of the Five Rivers" in Persian. The five rivers are Sutlej, Beas, Jhelum, Chenab and Ravi. In the pre-1947 epoch, Punjab was an important geographical unit of South Asia, with Afghanistan to its West, the Central Indian Plateau to its East, Kashmir to its North and Sindh and Rajasthan to its South.
After the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, the larger part of Punjab went to Pakistan, while a much smaller portion merged with India. Three rivers (Sutlej, Beas and Ravi) remained with the Indian side of Punjab while two (Jhelum, Chenab) went to Pakistan. In 1965, the Indian side of Punjab further got trifurcated into the states of Haryana and Himachal. In the present day, Punjab is a region that encompasses Northern India and Eastern Pakistan. Punjab is bounded on the north by the vast Himalayan ranges, which divide it from China, Tibet and Kashmir; on the east by the river Yamuna, the North-Western Provinces and the Chinese Empire; on the south by Sind, the river Sutlej, which separates it from Bhawalpur, and Rajputana; and on the west by the Sulaiman range, which divides it from Baluchistan, and Afghanistan, which joins the Khyber.
Punjabis on both sides also share a common cultural identity, which is referred to as 'Punjabiyat'. While the spoken language of all Punjabis is Punjabi, folk tales like Heer Ranjha and Sahiba Mirza considered the sub-continental equivalent of Romeo and Juliet bond all Punjabis. Apart from cultural commonalities, heroes too are common and actually still remain. Some prominent examples of common heroes on both sides are Guru Nanak Dev founder of the Sikh faith who is revered by both Sikhs and Muslims, Waris Shah, Baba Bulle Shah and Baba Farid all Sufi saints respected on both sides of the border and freedom fighters like Bhagat Singh. In the aftermath of partition, this Punjabi identity suffered to some degree, because government policies in Pakistani Punjab were unfavorable towards the Punjabi language and while Punjabis dominated virtually every realm in Pakistan, the Punjabi identity and Sufi thought was not given much importance.
It would be only fair to mention here that over the last few years that some policy makers, a handful of strategic analysts and academics have begun to realize that Punjab on both sides has a pivotal role to play in acting as a bridge between both the countries, the reasons amongst others are cultural commonalities, economic interests and most importantly the logic of geography which binds both the Punjabs.
For a long time after the vivisection of India, Punjab was projected as the flag bearer of conflict. Firstly, even if both the Punjabs were to forget partition, and the wars which both sides have fought, the other major roadblock to Punjab playing a positive role in Indo-Pak relations was that while Indian Punjab was too small and insignificant to influence policy makers at the national level, Pakistani Punjab had donned the mantle of Pakistani Nationalism, this phenomenon can be attributed to the complete domination of all political institutions and most importantly the army by Punjab. This point is very well illustrated by the following statistics:
Punjabis make up 50 percent of Pakistan's population and constitute a disproportionate percentage of the army. According to the Brookings Institution's Stephen P. Cohen, 75 percent of the army comes from just three districts in Punjab and two bordering districts in the Northwest Frontier Province. The officer corps, while more urban and diverse, remains disproportionately Punjabi as well.
More than sixty decades after partition, it would not be wrong to say that Punjab on both sides is emerging as a bridge, rather than battleground, between both countries as interactions have seen a manifold increase and Punjabis on both sides (especially the Indian side) have begun to realize that the biggest sufferer of war in economic terms is the Punjab, while the biggest beneficiary of Indo-Pak peace can be the Punjab.
A good illustration of this point is the fact that despite the two central governments bristling with hostility, trade at the Wagah border (the main land crossing between both countries, which divides the two Punjabs) nearly tripled. The total value of exports to Pakistan from the April to October 2008 period, before the Mumbai attack in November, was approximately $23.59 million; during the same period in 2009, that figure nearly tripled to $66.71.
One other reason for the thaw between the two Punjabs is the common culture. For long, this aspect of the relationship was overlooked both within South Asia and outside, but of late the cultural angle has begun to draw some attention. There are a number of reasons for this.
Firstly, people to people contact between the two countries in general and the Punjabs in particular has seen an increase in the last decade. The organizations which have done yeoman's service to enhance interaction between the two Punjabs are the World Punjabi Congress and the South Asian Free Media Association. Maximum credit for emphasizing the importance of Punjab in the Indo-Pak relationship goes to civil society organizations like the World Punjabi Congress. Led by a former Federal Minister, Fakhar Zaman this organization has been advocating easing out of visa-procedures, opening up trade routes and promotion of a common Punjabi identity. In fact, even the rapport between the erstwhile Chief Ministers of both the provinces (Captain Amarinder Singh, Indian Punjab and Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, Pakistani Punjab) began as a result of a WPC function organized at Lahore by Zaman in January 2004.
Second, there is a growing realization in the political leadership not only of both Punjabs, but also at the national level, that interactions will be beneficial. While between 2004 and 2007, the erstwhile Chief Ministers of both provinces were responsible for pushing cooperation between the provinces. Off late even prominent national leaders, most notably the former Prime Minister of Pakistan and head of the Pakistani Muslim League (Nawaz), (PML-N), Nawaz Sharif at a public speech, in Lahore, spoke about not only a better relationship between India and Pakistan, but also between the two Punjabs which share a common culture and heritage.
Thirdly, the Punjabi diaspora from both India and Pakistan has played a stellar role in the thaw between the two Punjabs. Being away from home the diaspora is free from the baggage of the sub-continent. It is important to note that at an individual level, Pakistani Punjabis and Indian Punjabis got along extremely well on foreign shores even when there was tension between the two countries. Back home in the sub-continent, both sides were apprehensive of openly exhibiting any sort of affinity for the other side. The diaspora has played a very constructive role in encouraging the growth of "Punjabiat" or a common culture. Alyssa Ayres rightly states that:
The two Punjabs wield disproportionate influence in their respective countries, and they can call upon a prosperous and culturally active diaspora in the West, which, through the growing popularity of Punjabi musical and cultural events, has begun to carve out a distinct Punjabi sensibility that transcends the national divides back "home."
Amongst other initiatives of the diaspora, two stand out. The International Journal of Punjab Studies, Academy of the Punjab in North America, APNA and The International Journal of Punjab Studies started in UK was the first which brought together scholars from both the Punjabs and had articles on the economy, culture and polity of the Punjabs. APNA is amongst the first organizations, to promote Punjabi Culture over the internet. More recently, it has started a Punjabi magazine called "Lehar" which is published in both scripts, Gurmukhi (East Punjab) and Shahmukhi (West Punjab).
Fourthly, the angle of religious tourism has also played a pivotal role in bringing both Punjab's closer. In the last six years, Sikh pilgrims have been paying obeisance at historical religious shrines in Pakistan, such as Nankana Sahib and Panja Sahib. These pilgrimages have not been disrupted even during times of tension. Pilgrims, who are apprehensive about visiting Pakistan, return with a different opinion, as they are warmly received by the Pakistani public. One particular idea for enhancing religious connectivity between India and Pakistan have been gaining ground. It is the campaign for the Kartarpur corridor. For those not familiar with the term, Kartarpur (now in Pakistan) is the place where the founder of the Sikh faith, Guru Nanak, spent the last 18 years of his life and had both Hindu and Muslim followers. Kartarpur, which falls in district Narowal, is home to the Sikh shrine Darbar Sahib, and this shrine is barely three kilometres from the Indian border. Before the Indo-Pak war of 1965, it is said that there was a bridge on the Ravi that Sikh pilgrims could cross over and visit Darbar Sahib. During the 1965 war, however, this bridge was destroyed; it might be mentioned that the relationship between the two countries became more tense in the aftermath of this war and visa regimes became stricter with the passage of time.
For a long time—nearly a decade—Sikhs, predominantly settled in the Indian Punjab, have been demanding visa-free access to Darbar Sahib. This demand has been accepted by the Pakistan government and is being looked into by the Indian Government. The demand for the Kartarpur Corridor has been receiving the support of diaspora Sikhs and The Institute of Multi-Track Diplomacy, a Virginia-based organization actively engaged in conflict resolution in South Asia and other parts of the world.
In conclusion, there are numerous impediments to Punjab-Punjab interactions, as nation-states determine these policies and there is only a limited role which a common cultural identity can play in reducing tensions between countries. But I would like to make the point that the New Delhi and Islamabad dominated dialogue have failed to come up with any solution to vexed issues like Kashmir. Maybe sub-regions like Punjab and other border provinces like Rajasthan-Sind which have positive vested interests in the borders opening up can pressurize central governments to seriously examine the need for higher levels of trade and sustained people to people interactions.
Over and above anything else, ever since the partition of 1947, there is a feeling that the Muslim-Non Muslim rift is something indelible and permanent. If both the Punjabs can lead the way it would be ironic that a region partitioned on the basis of religion acts the "peacemaker" utilizing amongst other tools a common culture. But there is only a limited role which a common identity can play in bridging the gaps.
Finally, members of the strategic community need to pay more serious attention to the fact that the common Punjabi identity could be a useful way of countering the rising wave of fundamentalism in Pakistani Punjab, which was earlier dominated by Sufi thought.

This week's dose of organic headlines, updates, resources and recipes courtesy of dsnodgrass...
There is serious concern among many regarding recent approval of methyl iodide use in California. Sam Fromartz provides more details and background.
California Recipe: Strawberries with a dose of Methyl Iodide
Several years ago, looking into the differences between organic and conventional farming methods, I focused on strawberries as a case study.
At the time, conventional growers depended on methyl bromide, a potent neurotoxin that is injected into the soil to kill pests and diseases. The applicators wore full body suits with gas masks. The ground was covered in plastic to help keep the toxic gas contained. These fields looked like something out a futuristic moonscape, covered in plastic with workers in full hazmat suits. It was just one of the many toxic chemicals used in the conventional strawberry regime. I described all this in a chapter of my book Organic, Inc. Many people told me that after they read that chapter they never bought a conventional strawberry again.
Methyl bromide was always particularly controversial. Law suits were filed because of drift of this pesticide to nearby public schools on the central coast of California, the heart of the strawberry industry. The issue for the courts: Was the drifting chemical at sufficiently low levels to be safe?
[...]This week, California, which has among the most rigorous pesticide regulations in the nation, approved methyl iodide for use. This came despite the unanimous findings of its own scientific panel against approval of the chemical. California Watch quoted a member of this panel.
"It is my personal opinion that this decision will result in serious harm to California citizens, and most especially to children," wrote panel member Theodore Slotkin, a professor of pharmacology and cancer biology at Duke University.
Jill Richardson adds more to the same conversation and tells what you can do.
ACTION: Fight Methyl Iodide Legalization
Please allow me a soapbox moment. It genuinely pisses me off to see 'experts' discuss that organics provide no real nutritional advantage over their conventional counterparts, because this argument willfully ignores the presence of pesticides.
And speaking of pesticides...
Working with pesticides linked to dementia: study
Long-term exposure to pesticides may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, according to a study released Thursday.
Workers "directly exposed" to bug and weed killers while toiling in the prestigious vineyards of Bordeaux, France were five times more likely to score less well on a battery of neurological tests than those with minimal or no exposure, the study found.
As revealing, this high-exposure group was twice as likely to register a significantly sharp drop in a key test -- frequently used to diagnose dementia -- repeated four years after the initial examination.
The drop "is particularly striking in view of the short duration of follow up and the relatively young age of the participants," mostly in their late 40s or 50s, the authors said.
The findings, published in the peer-reviewed journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine, add to a growing body of evidence suggesting that chronic use of pesticides in agriculture boosts the risk of neurological disorders.
In the recent massive Wikileaks dump, here's some news that flew under the radar. File this one under WTF.
Wikileaks: State Dept. wants intel on African acceptance of GMOs
The Wikileaks release of U.S. State Department classified diplomatic cables may be problematic, but it has been quite a trove of information on the workings of our diplomatic corps. For the most part, the dump has confirmed things that we already knew about U.S. policy -- and that seems to be the case regarding the one mention of agricultural policy in these thousands of emails and documents (no doubt there are more) to which I was alerted.
Buried deep in a document that outlines priorities for intelligence gathering in the African "Great Lakes" countries of Burundi, the Republic of Congo, and Rwanda is a list (for the most part, very reasonable) of what the State Department would like to know about the region's agricultural policy. Things like government policies on food security and food safety top the list, for example, along with information on the impact of rising food prices in these countries. Agricultural yield statistics, infrastructure improvements, data on deforestation and desertification, water issues, and invasive species are included as priorities for "reporting" as well.
But also getting its own line item on the intel priority list is this:
Government acceptance of genetically modified food and propagation of genetically modified crops.

The creation of the Capitoline Museums has been traced back to 1471, when Pope Sixtus IV donated a group of bronze statues of great symbolic value to the People of Rome.
The collections are closely linked to the city of Rome, and most of the exhibits come from the city itself.
The Capitoline Hill is the smallest hill in Rome and was originally made up of two parts (the Capitolium and the Arx) separated by a deep valley which corresponds to where Piazza del Campidoglio now stands about 8 metres above the original site.
The sides of this hill were very steep and on account of the difficulty of reaching the top and the dominating position it enjoyed over the River Tiber, it was chosen as the city's main stronghold.
The hall was built in an open area that historically marked the boundary between the properties of the Conservators and the Caffarellis. In the same space, which was used to exhibit the many sculptures found in the excavations following the urbanization of new areas after the proclamation of Rome as the Capital of Italy, an octagonal pavilion, designed by Virgilio Vespignani, was built in 1876, later it was disassembled to make space for a garden.
Capitoline Museums: technology for museum communication
More in-depth news on the most important sculptures exhibited in the museum and on the paintings in the Pinacoteca Capitolina (Capitoline Picture Gallery) can be accessed on all smartphones equipped with NFC (Near Field Communication) technology.
Simply point your smartphone at the transparent card (tag), located next to the caption

Miss Lily's Has a Very Special Goyard Machete for Dedicated Juicers
It slices. It dices. It thwacks coconuts.
Perhaps because nothing goes with a West Village condo flooded with natural light and some parched models badly in need of electrolyte replenishment, Miss Lily's owners Serge Becker and Matt Goias commissioned sculptor Toland Grinnell to create this custom, Jamaican-themed Goyard machete that's just like the one Melvin Major uses to thwack coconuts and dispatch all kinds of antioxidant-packed tropical fruits juiced at Melvin's Juice Box, only a bit more luxe. There's really no better breakfast time conversation starter than unsheathing a giant knife from your bathrobe belt loop at 7 a.m. and unleashing hell's fury on the pile of bananas atop your Corian countertop. Since it's "price available upon request," however, we're going to guess that any potential sling-bladers will first have to tone down their Strawberry Riddim habit for a few months before buying.

When it comes to holidays, March 5 has a little something for everyone. Not only is it National Cheese Doodle Day, Multiple Personality Day and Cinco De Marcho, March 5 is also National Absinthe Day.
Absinthe History
Absinthe is a green beverage with a unique taste comprised of anise, sugar and herbs - and a wee bit of thujone. Legend has it this mysterious drink with a colorful past was "invented" in 1792 by a French doctor named Pierre Ordinaire and first used as a medical elixir.
The highly alcoholic drink became quite popular in Europe during the 1800s and found its way to America during Prohibition and was particularly embraced by famous writers and artists. Eventually, absinthe was considered quite addictive and blamed for being a "psychoactive drug with harmful effects!" And in 1915, the "Green Fairy," was banned in America as well as some countries in Europe. Decades later, the ban was eventually lifted in some areas.
Today, Absinthe can be enjoyed in a variety of ways before, during and after dinner:
- Poured over a cube of white sugar
- Some light the absinthe-soaked cube (NOT recommended)
- In a cocktail
- Straight up
- In chocolates or ice cream sundaes.
Who knows - perhaps a little "absinthe" will make the heart grow fonder? And with the big St. Patrick's Day holiday right around the corner, this delicious green concoction, is sure to get you in the St. Paddy's Day "spirit."

After my previous tutorial that illustrated how to implement a super simple way to work with Twitter API (PHP + CSS) I received a lot of emails from my readers that asked to me to write a post about how to implement a simple Twitter search and display search results in a web page with a custom format. So in this tutorial I want to illustrate how you can implement that using a very useful Twitter Search API for PHP developed by David Billingham.
Using this simple method you can obtain, just in some lines of PHP and CSS code, awesome results like this:
You can download the source code at the following link and reuse it for free in your web projects just in some seconds!
1. A little introduction
In this package you'll find two PHP file:
- index.php: the search page (search form + search results)
- search.php: Twitter Search API for PHP
You have to customize only index.php and your Twitter Search will be ready to be integrated into yor web projects in one minute!
2. Index.php
Take a look at index.php. This page contains a simple search form:
<input name="twitterq" type="text" id="twitterq" />
<input name="Search" type="submit" value="Search" />
...and some lines of PHP code:
$search = new TwitterSearch($twitter_query);
$results = $search->results();
foreach($results as $result){
echo 'profile_image_url.'" class="twitter_image">';
$text_n = toLink($result->text);
echo $text_n;
echo '
';
echo 'From: from_user.'">'.$result->from_user.': ';
echo 'at: '.$result->created_at;
echo '
';
echo '
';
$result is the array that contains search results. To display all elements of the array (search results) I used this simple loop:
... and to get a specific attribute of the array I used this simple code:
The structure of a tweet contains the following attributes (take a look at the Twitter API home page for a full list):
[to_user_id]: User Id
[from_user]: User name
[id]: Tweet Id
[from_user_id]: User id
[source]: Source of the current tweet
[profile_image_url]: User profile image URL
[created_at]: Date of the current tweet
...so, if you want to display the text of a tweet you can use this code:
The following line of code get the text of the current tweet and convert a textual link into a clickable link:
That's all! Now download the source code, open and upload all files in your test server, open index.php and try to search for something!
If you have some suggestion, please add a comment!

The disease of over production, cheep pricing, over weight sugar, and many other things, all contained in a few companies with "business" like transactions.
The most common illnesses, that obesity gives, from these cheaper, high-tech way of living: cardiovascular, endocrine, gastrointestinal, liver disease and many more.
"In 2004, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) ranked obesity as the number one health risk facing America.
Obesity currently results in an estimated 400,000 deaths a year in the United States and costs the national economy nearly $122.9 billion annually.
Childhood obesity affects more than 15 percent of the population under 18 years old that is classified as overweight." - (Obesity in America)
and yet that hasn't been changed, though updated, even in 2012.
Most of these come from FATS, SALTS AND SUGERS, that we, America, consume on a daily bases.
" A 2011 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that:
The average male consumes 175 calories a day from drinks containing
added sugar (like soda)
2. The average female consumes 94 calories
from these drinks
3. About half of the population drinks a
sugar-sweetened beverage on any given day"-(The
Healthy Eating Guide)
that's just drinks people.
is a population of roughly 312.8 million people (or exactly
312,780,968 people) in 2012.
312.8 figure is a 2.25 million person increase since New
Year's Day, 2011.
That's a 0.7 percent jump, which means we're growing at a slightly
faster rate than entering 2011 (a paltry 0.6 percent) but not quite
as fast as when we entered2010
we boomed along at 0.9 percent).
As with the last two years, the Census estimates that there will be one birth every eight seconds and one death every 12 seconds."-(U.S.News & World Report)
did you know that theres many foods that contain/produce sugar in you're body? If not, heres a list:
Cakes and pies
Cookies and crackers
French fries
Imitation meat or seafood
Processed luncheon meats
Salad dressings
Sauces, including soy sauce
Seasoned rice mixes
Seasoned snack foods, such as potato and tortilla chips
Self-basting poultry
Soups and soup bases
Vegetables in sauce
- (Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research)
add that to the food companies that target kids, not only on TV commercials, but social networking websites, Facebook for example, and chat programs.
"One in four TV commercials seen by teens are food ads, according to another University of Illinois study. The most common ads were for fast-food, beverages and sweets. Black adolescents saw about 14 percent more food ads than did their white peers, according to the study." - (U.S.News & World Report)

Bucknell's Doug Shribman
May 2, 2011
Center Valley, Pa. -- The Patriot League announced its weekly awards for April 26-May 1 in baseball and softball and April 25-May 1 in outdoor track and field Monday.
BASEBALL: One of the most competitive regular seasons in Patriot League baseball annals came to an end on Sunday with the six teams separated by just four games in the final standings. Navy, Army, Lafayette and Bucknell qualified for the 2011 League Tournament, set to begin with the semifinal round on May 14-15 when the No. 4 Bison play at the No. 1 Mids and the No. 3 Leopards visit the No. 2 Black Knights in three-game series.
Navy claimed sole possession of first place in the regular season for the first time since 2000, and saw pitchers Ben Nelson and Preston Gainey earn weekly awards for their roles in victories against Lafayette over the weekend. Bucknell's Doug Shribman took home the Player of the Week honor after helping the Bison make the postseason by winning their series against Army.
SOFTBALL: The field and seeds have been set for the Patriot League Tournament, and Colgate has earned the right to host the four-team League bracket for the first time in school history. As the Raiders were shoring up the No. 1 seed over the weekend, the fourth and final bid came down to a four-game series between Bucknell and Army at West Point. Freshman Haley Pypes dominated in the circle for the Black Knights, tossing a no-hitter in Saturday's first game and the Black Knights completed the sweep in the nightcap to secure the fourth berth to the postseason. It's the sixth no-no in Army history and third this season in the Patriot League.
The last remaining piece of business determined Sunday was the No. 2 seed. It came down to Lehigh and Holy Cross, who happened to be playing a doubleheader that day. The Crusaders needed a sweep of the day to have a shot at capturing the second seed, but the Mountain Hawks turned the tables and earned the two wins to lock up No. 2. The teams will meet again May 12 when the League Tournament gets underway in Hamilton, N.Y.
There's non-League action on the docket this week as teams play their final tune-ups for the tournament. Holy Cross welcomes Central Connecticut to Worcester Tuesday afternoon for a doubleheader and will visit Hartford Thursday for a pair. Two twin-bills are set for Wednesday, with Lafayette closing its season at home against Marist and Army getting ready for the League Tournament by playing Temple at West Point.
OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD: Host Navy had a ball at the 2010-11 Patriot League Indoor Track and Field Championships in February. The Mids swept the men's and women's titles with the men edging out Army in the final two relay races to post one of the more exciting track and field championship finishes in the League's 20-year history.
Navy will look to duplicate its indoor success this Friday and Saturday at the 2011 Patriot League Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Lafayette College's Metzgar Fields in Easton, Pa.
The Mids and Bison combined for four out of six weekly awards in the final weekend of the regular season with Navy's Dean Black earning the Male Track Athlete of the Week and Lauren Allam winning the Rookie of the Week award. Allam set the Patriot League record for Rookie of the Week awards, inning her fifth of the season, breaking the 2010 record of four set by Army's McKenzie Majchrzak.
Bucknell won two awards with Ted Heitzman winning his third and Bucknell's fourth Male Track Athlete of the Week, and freshman Alex Prieto won his second straight Rookie of the Week award.
Lehigh's Emily Settle was named the Female Field Athlete of the Week and American's Erin Koch won her second Female Track Athlete of the Week award.
The Army men and the Navy women enter the 2011 Patriot League Outdoor Track and Field Championships as the favorites to win, being voted No. 1 in the preseason coaches poll..
Patriot League Baseball Weekly Awards
DOUG SHRIBMAN, BUCKNELL Sr., 1B, Marblehead, Mass.
Shribman came up big on a weekend with the Bison in a must-win situation, going 5-for-13 with a home run, six RBIs and five runs scored as Bucknell won three of four games against Army and qualified for the Patriot League Tournament. Shribman went 3-for-8 with three runs and two RBIs in a doubleheader sweep on Saturday, and helped seal Bucknell's tourney berth with a home run, three RBIs and two runs scored as Bucknell locked up its spot with a 6-4 win in Sunday's opener. Shribman leads the Patriot League in season (16) and all-time (43) home runs, and his 153 career RBIs rank tied for third in Patriot League history and are just four off the school record. Shribman went 9-of-22 overall last week with hits in all six games, and now boasts an eight-game hitting streak. Shribman wins his second Player of the Week award of the season and third in his career.
BEN NELSON, NAVY So., P, Winter Springs, Fla.
Nelson pitched Navy into the Patriot League Tournament by tossing a complete game as the Mids opened the weekend with a 4-2 victory over Lafayette on Saturday. He gave up just two unearned runs on five hits with no walks and a career-high 10 strikeouts. It was Nelson's fourth complete-game effort in the last five starts. A four-time Rookie of the Week selection in 2010, Nelson claims his first Pitcher of the Week honor.
PRESTON GAINEY, NAVY Fr., P, Pompano Beach, Fla.
Gainey came out of the bullpen to lock up the top seed in the Patriot League Tournament for the Mids by pitching 2.2 perfect innings with three strikeouts to pick up the save in a 4-2 win over Lafayette on Sunday. With the win in the final regular-season Patriot League game, Navy finished in first place in the Patriot League for the first time since 2002 and in sole possession for the first time since 2000. Gainey earns his second Rookie of the Week award of the season.
DAVE MILANES, NAVY So., DH, Iselin, N.J.
Milanes drove in seven runs and went 7-for-14 in Navy's weekend series with Lafayette.
JORDAN ENOS, HOLY CROSS So., C, Stockton, Calif.
Enos batted 8-for-18 with a home run, three RBIs, six runs scored and three doubles in six games for Holy Cross.
ROB FROIO, LAFAYETTE Sr., CF, Midlothian, Ill.
Froio became Lafayette's all-time hits leader during a week where he batted .368 with five runs and four RBIs.
Patriot League Softball Weekly Awards
STEPHANIE HARTQUIST, COLGATE Jr., 3B, Homer, N.Y.
Hartquist led the Raiders with a .500 batting average during the weekend series with Lafayette, helping her team post a Saturday doubleheader sweep that wrapped up the No. 1 seed and hosting responsibilities for the Patriot League Tournament. She combined to go 2-for-6 at the plate with a double and a steal in Saturday's victories, then she posted a 5-for-8 effort with one home run and three RBI with a double and another stolen base as the Raiders split with the Leopards on Sunday. She finished the week slugging 1.000. The Raiders will host the League Tournament for the first time in school history when it starts May 12 at Eaton Street Field in Hamilton, N.Y.
REBECCA BLISS, LEHIGH So., P, Escondido, Calif.
Bliss made four appearances last week for Fran Troyan's Mountain Hawks, posting a 3-0 record and a save as Lehigh secured the second seed in the Patriot League Tournament by winning three of four from visiting Holy Cross. She began the week with a five-hit shutout as Lehigh blanked Rider 6-0 on Thursday. She opened the League series with the Crusaders with another strong performance, a complete-game two hitter where she walked one and struck out three as Lehigh posted a 3-0 victory. She entered both of Sunday's games in relief, earning the win in the first half of the doubleheader with 2.2 innings of one-hit ball and three strikeouts as the Mountain Hawks rallied for a 5-4 win. She returned to the circle in the second game and threw a perfect bottom of the seventh to close out Lehigh's 8-5 win. For the week she threw 15.2 innings, allowed only eight hits and one walk, struck out 10 and held opposing batters to a .143 average.
HALEY PYPES, ARMY Fr., P, Kansas City, Mo.
Pypes was absolutely stellar for the Black Knights last week, posting a perfect 4-0 record in 28 innings over four starts, and leading Army to its three wins in the final League series of the regular season with defending champion Bucknell. With the Black Knights needing a series split to capture the fourth and final berth in the League Tournament, Pypes tossed her first career no-hitter and sixth in program history in her team's 3-0 victory over the Bison in Saturday's opener. She walked six and struck out seven in the effort. She returned to the circle in game two and went the distance again, giving up one earned run on three hits, walking two and striking out seven as Army silenced Bucknell 6-1 to wrap up the final bid. Pypes pitched her fourth complete game of the week Sunday, allowing one earned run on four hits, walking five and striking out seven as the Black Knights posted a 3-1 win to earn the split of the day. She recorded a 1.25 earned-run average for the week, including a microscopic 0.67 during the Bucknell series, and averaged six strikeouts per seven innings.
JULIE FERNANDEZ, LEHIGH Jr., 1B, Moorpark, Calif.
Fernandez hit .476 during her team's 4-2 week with two home runs and nine RBI. She drove in five during the weekend series with Holy Cross, helping the Mountain Hawks take three out of four and sew up the No. 2 seed in the Patriot League Tournament.
RACHEL LeCOQ, COLGATE Fr., P, Gonzales, La.
LeCoq went 2-0 with a save in three appearances for the Raiders. Her gem of the weekend was a complete-game one-hitter where she walked one and struck out 11 as Colgate held on for a 1-0 win over Lafayette. She boasts a League-leading 16 wins on the season, while her 150 strikeouts are second-best in Colgate single-season history.
ALEX MacLEAN, BUCKNELL So., P, Northampton, Pa.
MacLean made four appearances last week, including three starts, and went 2-1 with a 1.40 ERA. She walked only two batters in 20 innings and posted a 0.65 WHIP while holding opposing batters to a .164 average. With 14 strikeouts for the week, she has 208 for her career, placing fifth in Bucknell annals.

Black finished seventh in the 3,000 steeplechase at the Penn Relays, posting an IC4A time of 8:58.57. It was a personal record for Black and it was the top time run in the Patriot League this season. Navy has won three straight Track Athlete of the Week awards with three different runners.

Urban Policy Issues
This class explores how city administrators and legislatures have addressed the critical issues facing urban America today, including fighting urban blight and transforming neighborhoods, public school funding, public financing of sports stadiums, reducing the tax burden, public health issues like smoking bans, legislative redistricting, crime and safety issues, campaign finance reform, economic development issues like tax increment financing, race relations, welfare reform, public transportation, and how to reverse job and population losses. The overriding goal is to place in context the various ways that elected officials approach complex issues, towards a more realistic understanding of how to influence a proposal as it works its way through the process towards implementation. This course satisfies an elective requirement in the Master of Public Administration and Certificate in Politics programs.

Goldenrod (page 3 of 3)
by Jack Ruttle
How to Grow and Use Goldenrod
All the Solidago species are very easy to grow. They are relatively pest and drought tolerant. As with most fall-blooming plants, they are best planted and divided in spring. Rejuvenate the clumps by dividing every 4 to 6 years. Dig the plant with a fork and carefully break the clump into pieces with four or more shoots each.
As your crop of goldenrods increases, you'll be able to use them liberally to bring brilliance to the late border. Goldenrods are the perfect match for the other fall classics: Sedum 'Autumn Joy', any of the myriad asters or Eupatorium, the deep purple Vernonia or the aster-goldenrod hybrid, Solidaster. Species, such as S. rigida, are best in naturalistic gardens. Many goldenrods make excellent cut flowers.

The impact of man on our natural envionment is colossal. From the blasting of the hillside in areas of outstanding natural beauty; the crushing of the rock for cement and the resulting pollution of the surrounding area, to the destruction of virgin hillside to build yet another industrial,commercial or leisure park.
This is the story of two hills that are both being destroyed so the construction of one more industrial park can be achieved.

The Kids Stay in the Picture: Photographing Children and Food
When it comes to photographing children and food, Heath suggests:
- Let your spouse take the shots. "Lisa takes much better photos of our children. She has more patience and she spends more time with them on most days. She'll follow them around all day and snap, snap, snap until she gets what she wants — rather than trying to get them to do something. That never works. That's when you get the cheesy, dramatic smiles. If you have a digital camera, take as many shots as your memory card will hold, then delete what you don't want. It's a great way to spend time with your children."
- Again referring to the advantages of digital photography, Heath points out that you can look at what you just shot in seconds, giving you time to adjust the light or angle.
- Food has so much detail and texture, so get close: "You gotta get right in there." If you are serious about food photography, invest in a lens that allows for more up-close detail.
- Use natural light whenever possible. If you are not outside, move the plate or bowl next to an open window.
- "Be ready and work quickly. If the food you're shooting is hot, it will start to wilt and sauces will separate. If the food is frozen, it will start to melt. And things change color — lamb often turns gray. In the studio or on location, we set up a shot with a stand-in plate — then, when we have our lighting right, we swap it with the real plate and snap as fast as possible. But there's no reason for that at home or if you are in a restaurant."
- Take as many shots as you can — one usually comes out.

Discount Airfare Deals
Get Our Best Travel Deals and Tips!
In the ever-changing world of air travel, it can be difficult to know what to expect when you arrive at the airport for your flight. Will you be able to check in quickly or will the line stretch out the door? Will your flight be delayed? And what what surprises await you at the airport security checkpoint?
We can't guarantee you a hassle-free trip to the airport, but a little preparation can go a long way to helping you know what to expect. Read on for our useful guidelines to help you sail smoothly through the airport on your next flight.
Airport Security Screening
The TSA has recently made major changes to its airport security screening process with the introduction of new full body scanners and "enhanced" pat-downs. While traditional metal detectors are still in use in many security lines, some travelers will now find themselves in line for a full body scanner, which uses millimeter wave or backscatter technology to create an image of a person's body (similar to an X-ray). You may opt out of the machine and submit instead to a pat-down from a same-gender security officer. Pat-downs are done with the fronts of the officer's hands and include all parts of the body, including the chest and groin areas. You may request that your pat-down be carried out in private.
For more information about the new security measures (and the controversy they've caused), see From Pat-Downs to Full Body Scanners: The TSA Firestorm.
TSA Rules for Carry-on Luggage
For travelers who like to simply carry on and go, packing has gotten a little trickier in recent years. The TSA requires that toothpaste, shampoo and other liquid/gel/aerosol items be stored in individual containers of 3.4 ounces or less if you want to put them in your carry-on. All containers must be placed inside one clear, quart-sized plastic bag. Need to bring more than that? You'll have to put it in your checked luggage.
Learn more about the rules in our comprehensive Airport Security Q&A.
Fees for Checked Baggage
As if the TSA's rules for carry-on bags weren't enough, you may also want to think long and hard about your checked bag as well. Most airlines charge passengers a fee -- typically $20 - $30 each way -- to check a single bag on a domestic flight. Checking a second bag will cost anywhere from $30 to $50. Many airlines are now charging fees to check bags on some international flights as well. Get the scoop in our Airline Baggage Fees.
Checking In
For domestic flights, you should be at the airport at least two hours before your flight is scheduled to leave if you're planning on checking luggage. If you're bringing just a carry-on, allow at least 90 minutes. If you're flying to Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands or an international destination, arrive at least two hours early. During peak travel times, allow even more time at the airport -- perhaps an extra 30 to 60 minutes.
Check with your airline for its recommended arrival times, as these may vary depending on where you're flying. For instance, American Airlines suggests allowing three hours for flights to Mexico and a whopping three and a half hours for flights to Delhi, India.
You may also want to check FlightStats.com for airport information such as security wait times, flight delays and other information that could affect your trip.
Most airports are equipped with self-service kiosks that make the process of checking in speedier. Even better, you can usually use your airline's Web site to check in online and print your boarding pass at home up to 24 hours before your scheduled departure time. This not only is a time-saver but can also mean a better selection of seats.
Beware: Even if you have already checked in for your flight, an airline can cancel your reservation if you are not at the departure gate on time, and your seat may be given to another passenger even if you have an advance boarding pass or an advance seat assignment. Similarly, if you do not check your baggage in sufficient time for it to be loaded on your flight, the airline is not responsible for any delay in the delivery of your baggage to your destination.
Airport Parking
If you're driving yourself to the airport, be sure to allow yourself plenty of time to find a parking spot and get from your car to the terminal (which can literally be miles away). Some airports offer real-time parking information on their Web sites so you can check how full their lots are before you leave. Keep in mind that airport lots fill quickly at peak travel times, so you may want to reserve a spot ahead of time in an off-airport lot. Learn more in Long-Term Airport Parking.
