Men's Tennis, Accelerated
Men's tennis is trying to speed up play this season — and so far, it's working.
The ATP World Tour requires players to take no more than 25 seconds between serves. In past years, though, umpires rarely enforced the rule — and almost never at Grand Slams, when players by rule should get just 20 seconds. Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic, who played in four straight Grand Slam finals through last year's French Open, regularly flouted the rules, including at the 2011 U.S. Open and, memorably, at last year's Australian Open final, which took five hours and 53 minutes.
To encourage umpires to step up enforcement, the tour changed the rules. This season, after an umpire has issued a warning for time-wasting, the next instance is punished with the loss of a first serve, not the loss of a point. This lighter penalty was intended to encourage umpires to call it more often. And they have been, to the chagrin of many players, though they had been notified by email before the season and are reminded by umpires before matches.
"The players have been given notice of the change in the rule regarding a second violation and at the same time have been notified that rule of the time between points would be more strictly enforced," said ATP spokesman Nicola Arzani in an email this week. Arzani added that "it is too early to draw any conclusions in terms of hard comparisons with previous years, but the feedback is that the players are adjusting, as expected, and the pace of play is improved."
To check whether play really has sped up isn't easy. Time between points isn't an official tour stat, though it's occasionally tracked by television broadcasters (and tennis writers). Different tournaments present unique challenges — players need to go to the towel in the daytime, outdoor heat than they do at indoor tournaments. Also, different players have different pre-serve routines, and the mix of players always changes, so comparing the overall average from year to year isn't valid. Notably, Nadal — who typically has taken the most time between points among top players — has been absent from the tour with a knee injury for the last six months.
I attempted to estimate the success of the ATP's measures at the five tournaments so far this season by examining all players who played at least two matches in each tournament this year, and at least two in the same tournament last year. Then for each I compared his average time per point this year with last year. Time per point, which includes time of play and time between sets and during injury timeouts, isn't the same as time between points, but it has the advantage of being calculable from tour stats. By comparing players with themselves playing the same tournament last year, I attempted to control for playing surface, climate and playing styles. Their opponents differed each year, but hopefully any effects from that should cancel themselves out: For every player who played slower opponents this year than last, there should be another who is playing faster opponents this season.
The result should be very encouraging for the ATP. Of 27 comparisons among 25 players (including two readings each for Denis Istomin and Jarkko Nieminen), all but four played the same tournament faster this year. The typical decline in time per point was 6.2%, with Stanislas Wawrinka speeding up the most, by 17.7% at Chennai; and Gilles Simon slowing down the most, by 10.9% in Brisbane. Notably, there are signs that the message has sunk in this week after some hiccups last week. All 10 players this week have sped up compared to last year, including Istomin and Nieminen, who had, respectively, slowed down and barely budged last week. The faster pace of play is especially impressive because players have been battling record temperatures in Australia, where two of the five tournaments took place. These may sound like minor changes, but a few seconds per point can add up over even best-of-three-set matches, which can run past 200 points.
There are at least two caveats that may lessen the impact of these rules going forward. One is that umpires haven't yet had to warn Nadal or Djokovic, two of the sport's four biggest stars. (They also haven't encountered Federer on tour this year, but he typically plays at a pace that ranks among the fastest on tour.) Andy Murray, the fourth member of the sport's Big Four, barely sped up while winning Brisbane this year compared to last year, and by standing still slipped from a roughly average pace of play to slightly below average. Djokovic has signaled he's amenable to the change. Referring to last year's Australian Open final, the world No. 1 said, "As much as it was a pleasure to be part of such a classic match and in history, I think nobody likes to spend six hours on the court."
The second caveat is that the ATP doesn't oversee matches at the Australian Open, which starts Monday. Tournament referee Wayne McEwen told the Associated Press that a match like last year's final shouldn't be interrupted often for time-delay warnings. "The players sometimes need a little time to recover, especially in the heat of the day, or in a long match," McKewen said.

STOCKTON - A man was rushed to the hospital to undergo emergency surgery but was expected to survive after being shot several times early Saturday in southwest Stockton, authorities said.
The shooting occurred about 2:45 a.m. at a party in the 1900 block of Platte Road, police said. The victim told authorities the gunmen pulled up to the home where the party was, got out of a black sport utility vehicle and started shooting.
The victim was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and numerous shell casings were found at the scene, police said.
There was no description of the shooters.

About the Book
"A sweeping saga reminiscent of Jeffrey Archer and Susan Howatch, Heart of Lies is brilliantly researched and beautifully written. I could not put this book down."
—Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of The Girl on Legare Street<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
A smart, exciting historical suspense novel set in Europe, Shanghai, and New York before World War II, Heart of Lies is a breathtaking introduction to M. L. Malcolm. This extraordinary new writer immediately takes an honored place among Frederick Forsyth (The Day of the Jackal), Ken Follett (Eye of the Needle), Susan Howatch (Glittering Images), and other masters of compelling historical fiction. Inspired by true events in the author's family's past, Heart of Lies is an extraordinary reading experience that Library Journal praises as, "A superbly crafted story, creatively capturing a slice of history with eloquence and realism."
Leo Hoffman was born with a gift for languages. When his dreams for the future are destroyed by World War I, the dashing young Hungarian attempts to use his rare talent to rebuild his life, only to find himself inadvertently embroiled in an international counterfeiting scheme. Suddenly Leo is wanted across the European continent for a host of crimes, including murder. Left with no options, he must escape to Shanghai with his lover, carrying with him a stolen treasure that could be his salvation . . . or his death warrant. But the gangsters who control the decadent Asian city have no intention of letting him outrun his past. And when the Japanese invade, one wrong move could cost Leo Hoffman everything he holds dear.
An epic tale of intrigue, passion, and adventure, Heart of Lies heralds the arrival of a remarkable writer.

When Vegan Mom and I were married over a decade ago, we quickly fell into a fairly mundane weekly routine of meat-based dishes. We then decided to try a vegetarian diet to force ourselves to explore new cuisines, methods, and ideas. It was then that we discovered Indian food, and it remains my favourite cuisine.

Yum! I love Indian food too (even if I am a total wimp and sub any chilli for paprika :P). This sounds delicious.

This looks saucy and delicious. I think my husband would really like it too. I'm not familiar with curry leaves. I assume I could use curry powder to substitute?

Dear VeganDad,
How much tomato paste do you use? Cans over here come in various sizes.
- November 4, 2008 at 3:52 PM

You wrote "1 can tomato paste". I've seen everything from 6oz cans to 32oz cans. What size are we talking here?
Recipe looks yummy!

hey vegandad! Awesome recipe! I just made baingan bhurta today, a roasted eggplant curry.
I can't wait to try yours too! Is fenugreek replaceable?
- November 5, 2008 at 5:05 AM
- carrie said...
What size can of tomato paste did you use? Also, would there be a good substitute for the curry leaves? I've never seen them in my store. We do have an Indiana market, but it's quite far away and I don't get in there much.
- November 5, 2008 at 8:14 AM
- Vegan Dad said...
To all,
There is no real substitute for curry leaves--they are kind of like bay leaves in that respect. However, you can leave them out and still enjoy a very nice dish.
Any kind of seitan or tofu would work well in this dish, I think.
I amended the tomato paste in the recipe. I use the small can--5.5 to 6 oz.
- November 5, 2008 at 2:28 PM
- Vegan Dad said...
Whoops--forgot the address all the comments. Fenugreek is not replaceable, but you could do without it. It will make for a less complex flavour, but still passable. Get some if you can.
Like every Indian dish I cook, I eat this with basmati rice.
- November 5, 2008 at 2:30 PM
- Bianca said...
Strangely, I've never even thought of using seitan in an Indian dish. It seems so obvious and delicious now. Thanks for the idea!

I really like this recipe - had it for dinner with ww naan, rice, and spicy cauliflower. yum!

- Tania said...
I found this sauce to be a little too acidic, even though I added just a tad less than the recommended 1/4 cup of lemon juice and it was also a tad on the salty side. Maybe the tomato paste I used has more of an acidic taste and more salt added than the Canadian kind (I've found there to be some dramatic difference between Canadian & US foods in particular ketchup!). I added some brown sugar, even honey plus maybe 1/2 cup of coconut milk to mellow out the taste. It helped but didn't quite hit my Indian food craving. But I am used to the restaurant stuff. Thanks for the base sauce though!
- February 18, 2009 at 5:57 PM
- Katie said...
Finally got around to making this today, it was delicious!
The fenugreek qualifies as a "indian" spice, most of the others are neutral, but the lemon and cilantro and coriander all worked to give this more of a mexican flavor IMHO.
I used smart grounds, a little less lemon then called for, and left out the salt.
But it was delicious!
- March 9, 2009 at 7:25 PM
- Karen said...
I was bummed that I didn't have cilantro, and I haven't been able to find curry leaves, but this was so delicious anyway! I didn't have any fresh seitan (it goes quickly in my home!) so I used canned from the Asian market. I also threw some chick peas in. I wasn't sure about the acidity at first, but after eating it, it was perfect. Thanks for this recipe!

- Unknown said...
This was great. My boyfriend and I both enjoyed it very much but we did wind up adding a tiny bit of agave to make it a bit sweeter. Excellent. We ate the whole pan in one sitting and felt great about it because it's not soaking in ghee or oil of some sort like the Indian restaurants we've been to (Indian is still my favorite type of food though, which is saying a lot).

Pretty darn good considering it doesn't take all day to make!

Raiders coach Dennis Allen and his staff will coach the North team in the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., according to the Senior Bowl website.
The South team will be coached by Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz and his staff.
Coaching the Senior Bowl will in theory give the Raiders a leg up on scouting some of the country's best senior talent heading into the scouting combine Feb. 20-26 in preparation for the NFL draft from April 25-27.
The Raiders at present hold the No. 3 overall pick in the draft.
"It's a great opportunity for the Raiders," Allen said in a Senior Bowl release. "It gives us a chance to get a solid evaluation on these players. We get a better feel on them because we see them in meetings, we work with them in practice and we can determine whether their personality will fit well in our locker room.
"It's an opportunity to get an in-depth feel on a lot of those guys."
The Senior Bowl is scheduled for Jan. 26 at 1 p.m. at Ladd Peebles Stadium in Mobile.
The Raiders and Lions staffs will conduct practices throughout the week.

1a.Objectives (from AD-416)
As described in USDA NRI-funded grant, we will:
1. Identify MDV Meq and c-Jun binding sites in the chicken genome.
2. Identify differentially expressed genes following MDV-reactivation in MSB-1 cells.
3. Determine if differentially expressed genes identified in objective 2 also show differentially expression between MD tumors and CD4+ T cells.
4. Identify differentially expressed genes as a function of genetic resistance status or the presence of Meq.
1b.Approach (from AD-416)
1. Utilize chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) using Meq or c-Jun antibodies and determine the DNA sequences via Solexa paired-end reads.
2. Isolate RNA from MSB-1 cells at time 0 and following MDV reactivation, and run on Affymetrix Chicken microarrays.

This is a blog about living with HIV. When it was first started 9 years ago it was meant to keep friends and family informed of my health. It does still hold that purpose but it has become my life work. To my readers I just want to say thank you. Your words of kindness and inspiration over the years have kept this going. This isn't my blog anymore...this is a blog for all in the fight with HIV/AIDS.
20 November 2007
Happy Holidays?!?
I will not be celebrating this Thanksgiving with my beau. I just found this out a few hours ago. It would really bother me no matter what year it was...however, this will be our first one. I don't get in the middle of any persons family. That certainly isn't my place. However, I don't feel it appropriate that I have to do without my significant other simply becuase they will not stand up to theirs. I did it to mine and made it clear that if my loved one wasn't welcome than I wasn't. It hasn't been a month though since I raised this very issue and recieved reassurance that it wouldn't be a problem. I don't know maybe I am being overly sensitive to this. Maybe I am dreading the memories that will not be had on our first real holiday. Perhaps it will be not standing beside him when it's my turn to give thanks while holding his hand. Or perhaps it will be when I do the annual pilgrimage to the cemetary to place my Grandparent's Tree on their grave I will do it knowing that the now most important person in my life isn't there if I need a shoulder to cry on. Even not being able to be part of their life on the most thankful of days for a period of time is something I am having a VERY VERY difficult time with doing.
Perhaps I am just being overly sentimental. I don't know. All I can say is Happy Holidays. Let's hope history doesn't repeat itself.

I can understand being sentimental about the holidays and family gatherings. I also see your point about wanting your BF to stand up to his family. Been there done that. Have patience and give it time. Happy Thanksgiving.

The holidays always do that to me...Be strong.
I am in my second year of medical school and we are in our "Skin, Blood and Lymph" section. I am learning a lot about life with HIV/AIDS from your blog. I appreciate the honesty in your posts and I thank you for helping me put life to a disease I only [currently and not even that well at this point] understand with facts and numbers. As I read your posts, I notice myself going through a wide range of emotions. This has been so enriching and educational.

|A super-quick and easy recipe and if you have picky kids, just give them a piece without the sauce!
Turkey Cutlets with Dijon Sauce
(Makes 2-4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)
4 turkey cutlet slices
3 T almond flour (not almond meal, which is coarser)
1 tsp. poultry seasoning
3/4 tsp Pride of Szeged Chicken Rub (or use your favorite all purpose seasoning that tastes good on poultry)
Vege-Sal or salt (to taste, but I only used a tiny bit of salt)
fresh ground pepper to taste
1 T olive oil + 1 T butter (or use 2 T olive oil, may need less depending on your pan)
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 T Dijon mustard
1 T mayo (not fat free)
1 T white whole wheat flour, for thickening (or skip this for a Phase-One or gluten-free version of this with a slightly thinner sauce)
Heat nonstick frying pan big enough to hold all the pieces in one layer, add olive oil and melt butter over medium heat. Add turkey cutlets and watch until they barely start to look done on the edges, about 2 minutes, then turn and cook for 1-2 minutes longer on the other side. The turkey is done when it feels firm (but not hard) to the touch. Remove turkey to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Deglaze the pan with chicken stock, stirring well to get browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Whisk together Dijon and mayo, and 1 teaspoon flour if using, then whisk into the sauce. Cook sauce, whisking the whole time, until it is reduced by about 1/3, about 2-3 minutes (or slightly longer if you're skipping the flour.) Pour sauce over turkey and serve immediately.

no winding
90 rounds
locks in very well
doesn't rattle
90 bbs may not be a lot for an AEG
- magazinegreat clip. only issue is that it only holds 90 rounds. the upside is no more winding. the downside is that after 90 rounds you either have to reload or by another clip at 25 bucks or more. all in all this is a good clip, but 90 is a bit too little for an aeg.
- Dosn't fit in my ECHO 1!!!!!!I had an echo 1 mp5k and I ordered four of these, but they wouldn't fit in my gun. I even went to an airsoft store to make sure nothing was wrong with my gun. They just wouldn't fit. I don't know how ECHO 1 mags don't fit in an ECHO 1 gun but they don't.

Our Trip
By John Morrison on Jun 01, 2008
Our team took off on a fairly long trip to a few places in the state of Kerala. The trip lasted all of 4 nights and 3 days. Its a rarity to see trips of such duration happen with our teams and while we did'nt really expect too much attendance, I must admit that i was amazed at the actual participation which was very high.
The prominent places we visited during our trip include, Nelliyampathy, Kumarakom and Cochin, all of them located in the state of Kerala.
Rather than put an account of the entire trip in one large blog entry, i'll use this post as a main page linked to additional entries (which i shall post shortly).
In summary it was a great trip with a great team.

Creating a cozy hearth for the family

Shipping pallets are a dime a dozen around the country. Commonly found behind stores (near delivery doors) and occasionally on the side of the road, these versatile and ubiquitous castoffs are a DIYer's dream material. With a little creativity shipping pallets can be turned into a variety of useful pieces for the home, from coffee tables to headboards to always-needed storage. Who knew a cheap wooden pallet could be so valuable?
Turning shipping pallets into comfortable seating is one of the easiest ways to upcycle pallets. Just sand the pallets down until smooth then top with a comfortable array of cushions, pillows and blankets. To create the longer daybed or sofa look, attach two or more shipping pallets together. For more detailed instructions, check out Ashley Ann Photography's instructions for DIY Pallet Reading Bed.

DIY sofas and daybeds fashioned from old shipping pallets have the added benefit of built-in storage for magazines, blankets and other odds and ends.

Recycled shipping pallets also make great coffee tables. Depending on what kind of look you want, the effort you put in can be minimal. For a patio or outdoor room, sand the shipping pallets down, attach a couple of castors for mobility's sake, and you're done! For pieces inside the home, you might want to put a little more care into your work. If the look of weathered wood doesn't fit your interior décor, slap a coat of low-VOC paint on the pallets. Customize the height of your table by stacking and attaching several pallets together. If you're feeling a bit fancy, cover the top of the pallets with a slab of recycled glass.

For the more ambitious DIYer, dismantled shipping pallets make the perfect building materials for a child's bed. Attach three pallets side-by-side, then dismantle additional pallets to create the railings and headboard.

Don't limit your pallet creativity to just yourself! With a little dismantling, you can create a cozy bed for your dog or cat.
Shelves are probably the most versatile use of old shipping pallets. Depending on the configuration, shipping pallets can make pretty display racks for storing dishes and cute books, or they can form more practical shelving.
Turn shipping pallets into a display rack for dishes or a hanging shelf. Images (left to right): Photo Courtesy Readymade; Photo Courtesy Practical Enrichment.
Creativity—and your handiness with a hammer and nails—are your only constraints when it comes to turning old shipping pallets into fun furniture and shelving for your home!

Groundcontrolmag.com's review of Paid Dues
REVIEW BY: Aaron Autrand
PHOTOS BY: Mark Ziemke
Back in the VIP area, the DJ spun stacks of records for the tired few who ponied up $100 bucks for the privelege, enough for eleven-hours of non stop music without falling back on some massive hard drive. A marathon achievement in itself (not to mention the sheer weight of 11 hours worth of vinyl), the effort meant that by the time that Dilated Peoples was preparing to take the stage, we were getting treated to Fred Durst and co., a juxtaposition that was a bit weird under the circumstances.
With DJ Babu hoisted about 25 feet in the air behind the giant purple Paid Dues riser, Rakaa and Evidence had to hold down the stage. This ended up being the only disappointment of their set, since Babu was one of the few DJs who truly made his presence known during his time on stage. About midway through the set, he dropped an impressive scratch breakdown that left the crowd breathless, and it would have been nice to see him sharing the spotlight (literally) with the rest of his crew.
That's not to say that the rest of the group wasn't impressive in their own right. Giving their fans a taste of most of their back catalog, Dilated hit all the high notesKindness for Weakness (sans Talib Kweli, sadly), Live on Stage, You Can't Hide, You Can't Runin style. This was definitely the case for Evidence, who rocked a pair of old school Jordans (the ones with the baby blue toe cap) and pulled off a wardrobe change at some point during the set, swapping out his white 'diLAted' shirt for a black one, giving the fans an opportunity to see the stuff on the merch table on a live model. Following No Retreat, Evidence brought out one of the guys from Tha Liks to help the threesome perform Heavy Rotation, and then he, Rakka and Babu busted out Worst Comes to Worst before stepping off stage.
Then came Little Brother, who offered upin my opinionthe best set of the night. Of course, that may have been the second-smoke talking (the smell of weed, which came in hints and drafts during the rest of the evening, was totally palpable), but Big Pooh, Phonte and vocalist Darien Brockington were nothing but solid all the way through. There were no stage histronics, no hype men riling up the crowd, no blatant shilling of upcoming solo projects. Just three men anchoring the stage, dropping rhymes that stuck in heads, eliciting one notation in my reporters notebook: Really Fucking Rad. The groupwho said it was their first time on the West Coast in a whileran through a set that included Getback's Dreams (with Darien busting out in song towards the end, the first real sung vocals of the evening) Still Lives Through and Watch Me off The Minstrel Show, a callout to Coming to America and The Listening's The Way You Do It. In addition, the boys showed that they could entertain, when, towards the end of their set, Big Pooh and Phonte dropped an acapella joint, with Pooh on vocals and Phonte killing the beatbox. To those who left early, you definitely missed out.
And so the evening began to draw to a close. The press room was shuttered, the bars in VIP made last call, the meet-and-greet table was broken down and stored, and the San Bernadino Police Department trotted up on their horses (seriously, horses?) making living barricades to keep out those who tried to get one last crack at meeting their favorite performers. The crowd had shrunk to about a quarter of the size that it had been during the Living Legends set, with a huge chunk of remaining fans peeling off after Little Brother packed up their mics and left. It seemed that only the diehards stuck around for Sage Francis, a little huddle (and by little, I still mean at least 750-1000 people) of fans who had been there since the doors opened at 2pm, saving up their energy and water so they could go crazy when Sage hit the stage.
They weren't disappointed. I had read complaints on message boards questioning Sage's presence on the bill, especially in the top spot. It seemed that many of the attendees didn't think much of the man, but those who stuck around were treated to a sparkling set. Whether you like him or not (I'm in the liking him camp), it can't be denied that Sage is an accomplished performer, someone who knows how to put on a show. His was easily the most theatrical set of the night, thanks in large part to the die-hards who screamed along to each song. Apart from a few isolated incidents earlier in the eveningBCC's crowd battle comes to mindthe crowd as a whole was never louder than the remainders who stuck around for Sage.
The only performer to hit the stage by himself, Sage had a lot to do to match the energy of an eight-member crew like Living Legends. So he started off with Sea Lion, running through the track twiceonce accompanied by DJ Skratch Bastid and once sans accompaniment. Then he freestyled to Lou Reed's Walk On the Wild Side before performing Civil Obedience from Human The Death Dance over a sample of Pump Up the Volume. He kept challenging Skratch Bastid to play something that would throw him off, showing off some seriously entertaining and seriously twisted dance moves, and basically running around stage, drawing the already rapt crowd in tighter and tighter. Broken Wings seemed almost like spoken word, and he topped it by paraphrasing Douglas Adams: We don't need wings to fly, we just throw ourselves at the ground and miss.
I'm getting paid double what I was supposed to for this show, he boasted, after saying he would have performed for free. I just won a heads up poker game with the promoter. After an evening of performers calling for peace, Sage continued with a more pronounced political agenda. As Skratch Bastid played both the fast and slow versions of Team America's America, Fuck Yeah (did you know the slow version is called the Bummer Remix?!), Sage began urging fans to take an interest in the upcoming election, just barely refraining from promoting Barack Obama by name. He then wrapped himself in an American Flag with the stars replaced by corporate symbols and launched into a particularly vitriolic rendition of Makeshift Patriot before throwing the flag into the crowd. Following Damage, he brought out fellow Paid Dues performer B. Dolan and Prolyphic, both of whom are on Sage's Strange Famous Records, to help him perform. They ran through a few tracks from Prolyphic's forthcoming album, including "Survived Another Winter," before Sage got downright silly. He'd been there since 9:30 AM, and all that walking around had caused chafing. Guerilla Union turned me on to Gold Bond Medicated Powder. I tell my girlfriend, 'Baby, I'm fat. I can't walk around for eight hours without consequences.'
Neither could we. By the time Sage wrapped up, there had been ten straight hours of kickass hip-hop. What was left of the crowd dragged themselves to their cars as the cops on horseback kept an eye out for the mischief that no one had any energy to make. The sheer number of top tier rappers was enough to blow any mind, and if the rest of the crowd was anything like me, their dreams that night were full of samples and beats and crowds with arms extended, fingers spread shouting Peace!

For a new experience in working with youth, consider being a 4-H judge at local county fairs!
County fair project exhibition is the high point of the year for many youth. It is both a time to display their work and to think about how they have grown as a result of their involvement in 4-H. The adults who serve as judges play a key role in the conference judging process where projects are evaluated on 50% of the 4-Her's knowledge and 50% of the final project. Topics covered include learning age appropriate questions, how to explain your placing, judging etiquette and more.
Training sessions are available on two dates and locations:
Tuesday, November 13 from 6:30-8:30pm at the University of MN Extension/Mid-MN Research & Outreach Center in Willmar.
Thursday, November 15 from 6:30-8:30pm at the Lyon County Courthouse in Marshall.
The cost is $10 a person which included supper, training and having your name added to the MN 4-H judge's database. Registration is due by November 5th. This training is for current and potential 4-H judges. There is earning potential as a 4-H judge; this varies from county to county. Join us at one of these sessions to see what it's all about or refresh your skills!
For more details, and to call and register for either training, contact the Renville County Extension Office at 800-450-2522 or 320-523-3713 by Monday, November 5!

primeness noun

- It could be hoped that this Fermat test would give an if and only if test for primeness.
Old English prīm (in sense 2 of the noun), from Latin prima (hora) 'first (hour)', reinforced in Middle English by Old French prime; the adjective dates from late Middle English, via Old French from Latin primus 'first'.
At the start of the 16th century to prime was 'to fill or load', especially a gun for firing. It was probably based on Latin primus 'first', also the source of the adjective prime (Late Middle English), since priming something is the first operation you perform before using it. Priming the pump of business refers to pouring a small amount of water into a mechanical pump to establish suction so that it can begin to work properly. Primus is also the source of primary (Late Middle English); primeval (M17th from primus and aevum 'age'); and primitive (Late Middle English). It is probably also the source of prim (late 17th century), via a Provençal variant prin meaning 'excellent, delicate'. Prim blended with sissy gives prissy (late 19th century).

- Thompson: Carr looks like real deal, but shouldn't start Raiders' opener
- Former Raider Pryor shines against his old team

- Derek Carr Looks Like the Real Deal; Still the Raiders Should Stick to the Plan (For Now)

- Oakland Raiders' Derek Carr stands out in win over Seattle Seahawks
- Derek Carr is the Raiders best QB already, now, here, definitely, if Dennis Allen and Reggie McKenzie can admit it
OAKLAND -- Most of the Raiders' key players received the night off Thursday. Others such as veteran wide receiver Denarius Moore played because the coaches wanted one last look at them before the final roster cuts take place.
Moore made a convincing case for being one of the 53 players who go into the regular season in a Raiders uniform.
In fact, Moore played so well in the Raiders' 41-31 win over the Seattle Seahawks that he merits consideration for a starting spot once again.
Moore used to be among those who had job security and spent the final exhibition game playing little, if any, while others sought to impress the coaches.
Not anymore. He is one of seven receivers vying for a roster spot and playing time.
For now, the starting spots appear to belong to Rod Streater and James Jones. It's not surprising that Streater and Jones received the night off Thursday, while Moore and others worked.
That gave them prime seats to watch Moore strut his stuff. Moore wasted little time showing what he is capable of doing.
He caught a pass for 11 yards and a first down to keep alive the Raiders first touchdown drive. Most impressive, Moore made the reception despite a poor throw by Derek Carr and tight coverage by All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman.
Moore adjusted to the pass thrown behind him, reached out and snared the ball before Sherman had a chance to counter.
A short time later, Moore sprinted past a cornerback and hauled in a 36-yard pass from Carr to break a 7-7 tie in the first quarter.
He capped his impressive performance with an 11-yard touchdown on a back-shoulder throw from Carr.
Moore turned in time, snagged the ball and got both feet down in bounds before he stepped out of the end zone.
With that, Moore joined Streater, Jones and others who got the night off on the sideline.
"Denarius made a couple of really nice catches," Raiders coach Dennis Allen said.
Moore and most of the other Raiders weren't available for comment after the game.
The way Moore played Thursday is what Allen and the Raiders expect. Yet, too often last season Moore went long stretches without being much of a factor. Allen even benched Moore in 2012 for what he deemed inconsistent play.
The Raiders still lack a bona fide No. 1 receiver. Moore is the one who has the skill set to be that guy, just as he showed Thursday.

To those who have come before: Tiki culture, in a popular sense, had it's beginnings in the mid 1930's with the opening of dining establishments such as Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic's.
After World War II, American soldiers and sailors brought back with the their experiences of life in the South Pacific. As the American economy improved and travel to the Hawaiian Islands became more accessible, all things tropical began to flourish in popular culture.
By the 1950's Polynesian Pop Culture was in full swing. Fueled by the music of artists such as Les Baxter, Martin Denny, Arthur Lyman, Robert Drasnin and Cal Tjader, the phenomenon was spreading to countries all over the world. This trend would continue well into the early 1970's.
The late 1970's and early 80's saw the decline of Polynesian Pop and Tiki Culture. As popularity waned, many Tiki restaurants and bars closed or went out of business and Denver's Tiki establishments were no exception.
Adrift salutes all who have come before in bringing you hand crafted cocktails and island inspired dishes in a Traditional Tiki setting. We are very proud to be part of the revival of Tiki Culture and we sincerely hope that your experience here will be a memorable one and that you will return to our shores again very soon!

When a UAE-based Palestinian friend sends me a link to the Emirati singer Hussein Al-Jassmi's hit Boshret khair (or "Good Tidings"), I wonder what she finds remarkable about the video. After Tesslam el ayadi (or "Saved be the hands"), Boshret khair — written by the mainstream lyricist Ayman Bahgat Qamar and composed by the notoriously anti-"revolution", conspiracy-theorising musician Amr Mustafa — is the second and by far the more tasteful anthem of 30 June-3 July 2013. Its aim is to encourage a high turnout in the presidential elections, to bolster up the legitimacy of the current democratic process.
Quoting the lyrics, "Don't begrudge [Egypt] your vote," my friend turns out to be taken with the irony of Egyptians being urged onto the ballots by a citizen in a country where no voting is allowed whatsoever. She seems to find dark humour in the fact.

A man from Waynesville has died after suffering a medical condition, which caused the truck he was driving to travel over an embankment and down a steep hill before finally coming to a rest in Rolla Wednesday afternoon.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Eric P. Vanpelt, 49, was pronounced dead by Deputy Coroner Lenox Jones at 3:07 p.m. at Phelps County Regional Medical Center.
"It appears he was involved in the accident because of a medical condition that caused him to lose control and run off the road," said Sgt. Dan Crain, of the patrol's Troop I. "He died of the medical condition, not because of the traffic crash itself."
The patrol's incident report stated Vanpelt was driving a 2010 Eagle International with a flatbed trailer for Lowe's westbound on Interstate 44 at the 184-mile marker when he suffered the medical condition.
The vehicle ran off the right side of the road and down the hill north of the exit 184 off-ramp.
The patrol report states it is unknown if Vanpelt was wearing a seat belt. The accident occurred around 2:20 p.m. There was extensive damage to the truck.
Denise Seevers was driving in the roundabout at the exit when her husband, Michael, in the passenger seat noticed the truck. Denise said Michael got out of their vehicle and went down the hill to check for injuries. Denise said she called 911 to report the crash.
Rolla police and firefighters and Phelps County EMS workers assisted the highway patrol at the scene.

Teachers will also find the program useful for generating classroom discussions about general topics such as life in Appalachia in the early part of the 20th century and the changing role of music in our lives, as well as more specific issues including the recent folk music revival and the influence of Appalachian music on performers from Johnny Cash to Bob Dylan.
There is much to be learned from Jean Ritchies life story, even for viewers whose background and experiences differ greatly from hers. It encourages us to reflect on and explore our own pasts, particularly with regard to family heritage and cultural background. Such recollections help inform our understanding of the present.
Teachers might want to preview the program before viewing it with a class to familiarize themselves with the content. To help you use the program, this site includes

Rookie USA-2 pilot Nick Cunningham of Monterey posted the fastest run of the second heat Saturday to win a bronze medal at Lake Placid, N.Y. in his third World Cup bobsled competition.
Cunningham's four-man team included pushers Andreas Drbal of Belmont, Adam Clark of Owenton, Ky. and Chris Fogt of Alpine, Utah. Cunningham's mistake a day earlier cost his two-man sled a medal chance.
"You've got to realize the level that we're at and I wasn't upset about fifth place, I was upset that I fell back," Cunningham told reporters. "I hate doing that to my guys. When they give everything and I don't come through for them that's the hardest part."
Reigning world champions Steven Holcomb, Steve Langton, Justin Olsen and Curt Tomasevicz in USA-1 finished second Saturday after Holcomb won Friday.
"The athleticism of our team right now is impressive," Cunningham said. "We have such a deep field of talented athletes, and we plan on pushing the envelope at every track off the starting block."
Push athlete Chuck Berkeley of Walnut Creek was part of a third U.S. sled that finished 20th.

AUGUSTA, Ga.---He controls a budget of $49 million and more than 700 employees, including a small army of 500 deputies.
But how much do you really know about Richmond County Sheriff Ronnie Strength?
In a News 12 Special Assignment, we go one on one with Augusta's top cop.
For 30 years, he's made his career in law enforcement. Over those years you've seen him answering questions from across the desk, behind the podium at countless news conferences, and defending his budget before Augusta commissioners.
But chances are you've never seen him stretched out in his favorite chair with his faithful companion "Tanner", who is a long way from being a police dog.
Sheriff Strength and his wife Patti opened their home to News 12 to talk about a wide range of things, business and personal.
When it comes to fighting crime, one of Strength's biggest challenges is not convincing commissioners he needs more money...it's convincing potential recruits to consider law enforcement.
"Manpower is very difficult," he said. "We have 50 openings today.
"People don't want to get into this job anymore," he went on. "It's a difficult job, pay's not good, hours are long, you're often falsely accused...and these things keep people from wanting to get into law enforcement."
As for the sheriff's own career, he says he's never had second thoughts--even when his deputies get into trouble for posting inappropriate pictures and messages on the website MySpace, and even after telling state lawmakers that he sometimes dreads going to work.
Richard Rogers: "Let's talk about how the job affects you. I've read you dread going to work and I've heard you say you love your job. Which is it?"
Ronnie Strength: "Sometimes when you have problem after problem, you hate to get up some mornings, and I'm no different than anyone else. If I didn't enjoy the job, I wouldn't have been here 30 years."
30 years without taking more than a couple of days off at a time.
RR: "When was the last time you took a vacation?"
RS: "I don't know when I've taken a vacation since I've been sheriff. Three times a year, the max is two days. Prior to that, very seldom did I take a vacation."
RR: "Why is that?"
RS: "Well, I was on vacation every day while I was working. I enjoy going to work and doing the job, and I consider that a vacation."
It's just the kind of answer that might cause trouble at home...
Patti Strength: "It does to a point...but I guess I've lived with it so long, it doesn't bother me. I like to go to the beach...he doesn't. So I don't want to be miserable and I don't want him to be miserable out there."
RR: "So you agree to go to the beach and he agrees to go to the lake."
PS: "Right."
Patti Strength has deep ties to law enforcement too.
Coming up in Part 2, we'll have more about their marriage made at the LEC, plus: from security for Michael Jackson to a shooting involving a PGA pro, what was it like on the inside?

MINNEAPOLIS -- It was one of those nights where baseball became pinball and the A's were in danger of breaking the scoreboard counter.
In the end, Oakland was an 18-3 victor over the Minnesota Twins on a night where every ball that could fell in and A's starter Sonny Gray spent enough time on the bench between innings to get his taxes done.
Actually, keeping his taxes straight might have been easier than keeping the box score accurate and up to date. It was the kind of night where outs were elevated into doubles and homers were degraded to doubles.
By the end of the fourth inning, each A's batter not only had a hit but also had scored a run. Both teams emptied their benches, and Minnesota gave the A's a guided tour of its bullpen.
By game's end, Oakland not only had a two-touchdown win but also had a three-game lead in the American League West with the Texas Rangers having lost again to Pittsburgh at home.
Even the moment that looked bleakest -- Josh Donaldson getting hit on the hand by a pitch in the third inning -- couldn't slow the A's. Donaldson was in some pain, but "I wanted to play," he said, and he remained in the game long enough to get two subsequent hits as every player in the starting lineup had a hit, scored a run and drove in a run.
"That's pretty hard to do," shortstop Jed Lowrie said. "But when you're doing it, it's lots of fun."
The biggest bit of sustained action came in the fourth inning when the first seven A's batters collected hits, the capper being a ground ball foul down the right field line by Lowrie. That's not a misprint. Lowrie's ball was ruled foul, then after the umpires consulted, was called fair.
First base umpire Bill Miller told both sides that he didn't have a good angle on the ball as he was trying to get out of the way, and home plate umpire Dale Scott said the ball was fair.
Lowrie was rewarded with a bases-loaded, two-run double that made it 9-1 and led to an irate Twins manager Ron Gardenhire getting ejected from a game he likely wouldn't have wanted to see the end of.
"It was the right call," Lowrie said. "And the umps said they wanted to get the call right."
Even so, the inning was just getting some legs to it. Oakland would score another four times, the last two on a monster homer by Stephen Vogt, getting a season-best 10 runs across in the inning to take a 13-1 lead.
Vogt had two hits in that inning and also singled in the fifth.
"It was a huge night for the team," Vogt said, "after a tough loss last night to come right out and put it away early."
As for Vogt, the homer "was the longest ball I ever hit." It landed on the cement walkway behind the right field bleachers, an area known as "Thome Territory" for all the balls former Twins slugger Jim Thome used to land there the first two years Target Field was open.
Three more runs came home in the fifth, but the damage could have been greater after Lowrie opened the inning's scoring with a two-run homer. Josh Reddick, getting his first at-bat since coming off the disabled list, hit a two-run homer of his own. However, the umpires took the play under review and called it a double instead.
Manager Bob Melvin thought it might have been a homer, "but at that point, I wasn't going to argue."
Reddick's ball was ruled to hit off the right-field foul pole, but the replay showed the ball hit the top of the wall near the foul pole.
A's (A.J. Griffin 13-9) at Minnesota

New SF Site, Emerald City, and Rain Taxi
The new SF Site includes a fairly long essay I wrote about two books from Tachyon Publications -- The James Tiptree Award Anthology 1 and Her Smoke Rose Up Forever, a reissue of the excellent collection of Tiptree's stories. The latter is one of the few truly essential collections of SF short fiction.
2 comments:
Hi, Matthew,ReplyDelete
just found your blog via SF site and your very considered and interesting article on Alice/James (given the number of authors over the centuries with dual identities I'm moved to wonder if anyone has ever conducted a psychological experiment to see if authors are more susceptible to multiple personality disorders?).
Oddly enough I'm right in the middle of writing a brief article for the new Forbidden Planet International magazine that comes out this summer (Cheryl Morgan is writing us a piece on Worldcon for it and James Lovegrove has written a piece on how he got into reading comics). The subject matter is women in SF... Oh, the timing! So as well as finding it very interesting it was a fortutious time for me to spot it.
Alas, it is only a short article and I could happily write an entire 3000 word essay on Ursula's Left Hand of Darkness, never mind a potted history of women and SF... As a further coincidence I mentioned Leigh Brackett. As I started work on another article on new books to watch for I spot in Gollancz's catalogue for July a Leigh Brackett collection in the Masterworks series...
Joe, Edinburgh
Glad to hear from you, Joe, and I'm thrilled I could be of some help. Gollancz's Masterworks series is phenomenal -- they've got quite a few titles that aren't available in any sort of edition over here, and now and then I get horribly jealous of you Brits....ReplyDelete

Location: Egg Safety and Quality
Title: Introduction to HACCP. Author
Submitted to: National Egg Quality School Proceedings
Publication Type: Proceedings
Publication Acceptance Date: February 20, 2014
Publication Date: May 19, 2014
Citation: Jones, D.R. 2014. Introduction to HACCP. National Egg Quality School Proceedings. p. 320-324. Technical Abstract: Introduction to HACCP Deana R. Jones, Ph.D. Egg Safety and Quality Research Unit USDA-Agricultural Research Service Russell Research Center Athens, GA email@example.com HACCP is an acronym for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point and was initially developed by the Pillsbury Company and NASA. They utilized this program to enhance the safety of the food for manned space flights. The USDA-FSIS implemented the HACCP approach to food safety in the meat and poultry industries beginning in 1998. An assessment of the program was published by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) in June 2000. (http://www.usda.gov/oig/webdocs/haccp.pdf) Additional OIG audits can be found at: http://www.usda.gov/oig/rptsauditsfsis.htm. HACCP is a food safety program. It is not meant to deal with quality issues directly. Quality assurance programs should handle those issues. There are potential changes on the horizon for meat and poultry HACCP. You can stay informed about these changes by visiting: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/Regulations_&_Policies/index.asp. There are several prerequisite programs associated with HACCP. As previously discussed, Standard Sanitation Operating Procedures (SSOPs) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are examples of prerequisite programs. Development of a flow diagram, product descriptions, and product ingredient lists are also examples of prerequisite information needed to successfully develop a HACCP plan. It is important to remember that they are not principles of HACCP. Before beginning any HACCP process, a flow diagram of the process should be developed. Assessment of hazards can be performed easiest with the aid of a flow diagram. Be sure to include not only where ingredients enter the process, but also packaging materials and product storage. Once the flow chart is complete, it is a good idea to walk through the processing line to review the diagram. It is very easy to overlook a step when it is process you work with everyday. It is also a good idea to have someone else review the flow diagram to ensure that your process is clearly represented. If an inspector or auditor ever needs to refer to the flow diagram, you want to make sure they understand what it says. The flow diagram does not need to be professionally drawn. It should be clear, concise, and convey the complete process being described. Don't forget to include shipping and receiving in the flow chart. An example can be seen in Figure 1. Figure 1. Flow chart example. There are seven principles of HACCP. They are as follows: 1) Assess hazards 2) Determine critical control points 3) Set critical limits 4) Monitor critical control points 5) Corrective actions 6) Record keeping 7) Verification Principle 1. Assess hazards. After designing the flow diagram, you then need to assess each step on the flow diagram for potential hazards. There are three types of identified hazards in HACCP: physical, chemical, and biological. A physical hazard is any item, usually visible, which can cause physical harm to a consumer. An example of a physical hazard would be metal shavings, wood fragments, glass, etc. A chemical hazard is defined as a chemical substance that could cause harm to the consumer or is not declared on the label. Machine oil, pesticides, insecticides, and sanitizer residue are all examples of chemical hazards. A biological hazard is one which could cause the consumer to become ill or promote the growth of pathogens in the product. Examples of biological hazards include: cooked product contacting raw product, inadequate thermal processing, and inadequate storage temperatures. Principle 2. Identify critical control points. A critical control point (CCP) is a point in the process where a hazard can and must be controlled to reduce or eliminate a hazard. To determine if an identified hazard is a CCP, you must first rank the risk and severity of the hazard. A "decision tree" can then be utilized to determine, based on the risk and severity, if the hazard is a CCP. There are several sources where example forms for risk and severity, along with decision trees, can be found. It is important to realize that some decision trees are extremely complicated. Others do not necessarily suit all processes. For this reason, find a decision tree that you and your employees can utilize and understand. Principle 3. Establish critical limits. The critical limit is the allowable range of a hazard for which the product would still be considered safe. Critical limits should ensure the safety of the product, but they should also be at a level you can consistently meet during normal processing. An example would be cooler temperature. You have identified the post-processing cooler as a CCP. You have set your critical limit at 42F, but you have trouble consistently maintaining your cooler at 42F. This would not be a wise limit, because when you exceed your limit, all product produced since the last measurement of the CCP is considered "suspect product." Furthermore, if you are consistently failing to meet your established critical limit, your plan could be ruled ineffective. If a regulatory limit exists for your CCP, you can use this level as your critical limit. In the example from above, the regulation for post-processing cooler temperature is 45F. By setting your critical limit at 42F, you have now re-written the regulation for yourself. There are instances when a company may decide to make their own regulations more stringent for quality or marketing purposes. I would stress that you should investigate any potential regulations that exist to ensure that you meet these regulations. You should weigh your own options as to if you should make these requirements more intense. Principle 4. Monitoring. At this point, monitoring procedures have to be established for each CCP/critical limit. This is when you determine if a critical limit has been exceeded. It is important for monitoring measurements to be quick and accurate. Using our cooler temperature example, obviously the use of a thermometer would be appropriate. It can be quickly read and fast-read models are able to measure temperature rapidly. The thermometer being used should be calibrated frequently to ensure that recorded temperatures are accurate. Other examples of monitoring devises include pH meters/paper, temperature chart recorders, and metal detectors. When monitoring a biological hazard, microbial plate counts are not effective because these methods generally take 48 h or longer. All product would have to be held for this time period. If a critical limit was exceeded, an even longer period of time would be required to correct the situation. It is extremely important to write detailed descriptions of the monitoring activity. In other words, exactly who, what, when, where, and how the monitoring should take place. The written descriptions should allow for anyone to understand the precise monitoring activity. All employees who will be taking monitoring measurements should be properly trained and this should be documented in your records. Principle 5. Establish corrective actions. Corrective actions are the actions that should be taken if a critical limit is exceeded. In other words, what are you going to do to make the product safe again? At this point in developing your HACCP plan, you may decide that your critical limit and monitoring technique are not appropriate. That is fine. You will then need to go back and establish acceptable measures. Adding additional detergent to a washer if pH falls below 10 would be an acceptable corrective action. You also need to have plans available to tell employees what to do with the suspect product. Once you have performed a corrective action, you need to document it. On this document you should include: what critical limit was exceeded, how it was corrected, the date of the activity, the

Institutional Racism In The Academy by Andrew Pilkington
November 22, 2012
LeftCentral Book Review
On April 22nd 1993, Stephen Lawrence was murdered, "Stephen was stabbed to death because he was black" this highly disturbing and incontrovertible finding emanates from a judicial inquiry, the Macpherson Report (1999), set up in 1997 to examine the flawed Police investigation into Stephen Lawrence`s murder. An investigation marred by a combination of factors most notably, "institutional racism" within the Police. As Professor Pilkington outlines the inquiry went further admitting that "institutional racism was rife in British Society". Andrew Pilkington utilises institutional racism as a conceptual tool to investigate Midshire Police and Midshire University, an ambitious endeavour producing a stimulating book.
Pilkington unravels the thorny concept of institutional racism a term initially associated with Stokely Carmichael a Black Power critic of USA racial policy. There has been significant resistance in applying this concept to the UK, for example the Scarman Report (1981) rejected the notion. This reticence may be valid given the racial landscape that Carmichael/Hamilton surveyed in 1967, with its heritage of de facto and de jure racism, making direct comparison with the UK difficult. However, Pilkington quoting Carmichael illustrates that, "Institutional racism also has another name: colonialism" a concept in which British institutions are clearly not immune.
