Latin American Area Studies
Latin American Area Studies (LAAS) is an interdisciplinary program at Morris. Latin American countries have been our allies, enemies, trading partners, and friends. Our history is entangled with the history of the region south of the U.S. border. We influence their culture and they influence ours.
In the LAAS Discipline, we study Latin American history and culture using a wide variety of perspectives and methods and acquire:
- A basic introduction to Latin American cultures and societies
- The means essential to gain an understanding of Latin America and its diverse peoples
- An understanding of Latin America in a comparative perspective
One of the most important opportunities the LAAS major provides is the chance to travel to Latin America and engage in meaningful and fulfilling study and work. For our students, the experience is often one of the most memorable of their time at Morris.
In recent years, Morris LAAS students have:
Traveled to northeastern Brazil for four months through the School for International Training's Culture, Development and Social Justice program to study social programs that work to enhance the rights of women, indigenous people, rural peasants, and the urban poor
Conducted ethnographic field research in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala, and worked at a domestic abuse crisis center evaluating the program
Spent a year in the Dominican Republic studying at several Dominican institutions, and interning at a free legal services office devoted to women's rights
Classes in the Discipline are typically small, with a dedicated faculty that have extraordinary experience and accomplishments in their field. The atmosphere is supportive, and students are encouraged to craft their own curriculum (in consultation with faculty) to accord with their specific interests.

Clif Notes
Cavalo Salad

Recipe by Chef John McConnell
One of the most popular items on our Bruschetteria Food Truck menu is the farm fresh Cavalo Salad. This salad brings together kale, cabbage and apples from the Clif Family Farm, tossed with a garlic-anchovy dressing. It's delicious as a side salad for one of our seasonal bruschetta or on its' own as a simple and healthy lunch.
Salad Ingredients:
1 medium head kale, washed and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 small head of cabbage, chopped into 1 inch pieces
2 large apples, chopped into ½ inch pieces
¼ cup pecorino, grated fine
Dressing Ingredients:
5 to 6 garlic cloves, peeled
1 TBSP: capers, drained
1 TBSP: anchovy filets packed in oil, rinsed and squeezed of excess oil
1 TBSP: plus Dijon mustard (slightly heaping tablespoon measure)
2 TBSP + 2 tsp: fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup: neutral vegetable oil (safflower, canola, grapeseed or light olive oil)
1/4 cup: Clif Family Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 to 3 dashes: Asian fish sauce (add to taste)
Mash the garlic, capers and anchovies together, either in a mortar with a pestle or on a cutting board with a chefs' knife. Transfer to a bowl if not using a mortar. Add the mustard and lemon juice, stir to mix well. Measure the two oils into a cup measure with a pouring spout. Slowly pour a thin stream of oil into the dressing ingredients as you stir vigorously with the pestle or whisk to create an emulsion. Once emulsified, add a few dashes of fish sauce and whisk until incorporated, taste for seasoning.
To assemble the salad, mix the kale, cabbage, and apples. Liberally dress with garlic-anchovy vinaigrette coating all ingredients evenly and sprinkle with pecorino.
Snapper Crudo with Clif Family Kitchen Gewürz Salt

2--8-ounce filets fresh snapper, skin removed
2 tsp kosher salt
2 Tbsp Clif Family Kitchen Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 tsp fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp Clif Family Kitchen Gewürztraminer Salt
1 tsp pink peppercorns, crushed
2 stalks celery, shaved thin
Seasonal garnishes such as shaved beets, radishes, edible flowers and micro greens
Season both sides of each snapper filet with 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. Set the filets on a paper towel lined plate and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, depending on the thickness of the filets. This is a quick cure or crudo that allows for the salt to increase firmness of the raw fish and rid it of taste impurities. After 2-3 hours, wash any excess salt from the snapper and pat dry. With a very sharp knife, cut thin slices of crudo and arrange on a platter. Drizzle the snapper crudo with CFK Olive Oil, and lemon juice. Sprinkle CFK Gewürztraminer Salt and crushed pink peppercorns directly on top of the fish. Garnish with celery and delicate farm fresh produce. Enjoy with a glass of chilled Clif Family Gewürztraminer or Rosé Of Grenache.
Winter in the Vineyard

The winter months in the vineyard are quiet and peaceful. The leaves have fallen off the vines, leaving them bare, and dormancy sets in. This gives the crew some time off, Mother Nature an opportunity to saturate the ground, and Winemakers time to plan for the coming season. Here is what is happening at the Clif Family Vineyards this winter….
On Howell Mountain we are welcoming the 20+ inches of rain (and even some snow!) that has already fallen this season. The cover crops that were planted in the fall are thriving in this wet ground. We are doing some off season projects, such as maintaining the fence line and installing additional irrigation line so we can water weak sections of the vineyard separately. We are also thinning shrub in the forest area between our two blocks of Cabernet at Croquet Vineyard. During the growing season, this will improve air flow and reduce mildew pressure. And, at Cold Springs we are preparing to receive two new frost fans that will help protect our precious vines come April. Pruning will begin in just few weeks. In an effort to improve uniformity, we will retrain the vines at Cold Springs from cane pruning to cordon.
As we button up all these winter projects, the 2016 growing season is just around the corner. This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the 2015 vintage, taste the newly made wines, and set vineyard goals for our next vintage.

1 1/3 vegetable stock
1/3 Clif Family Kitchen Extra Virgin Oil

Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped Clif Family Kitchen Lemon Ginger Almonds and cook until golden, about 5 minutes. Remove the nuts with a slotted spoon and drain over a paper towel lined plate.
Add the minced onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Increase the heat to high and add the chopped zucchini and bell pepper. Cook for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat and add scallions and salt.
Add the vegetable mixture to the couscous. Stir in toasted Clif Family Kitchen Lemon Ginger Almonds, lemon juice and cumin. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
5 Steps to Finishing White Wine

Winter months in the winery bring many different types of projects, such as restarting this year's stuck fermentations, racking last year's wines out of barrel, deep cleaning crush equipment or preparing wines for bottling. For me, this winter marks an exciting time as I prepare to bottle my very first wines that I made for Clif Family from grape to bottle - the 2015 Sauvignon Blanc and the 2015 Rose of Grenache. In preparation for this process, the white wines will be carefully finished in this step by step process:
1. Evaluation – At this stage, I look at each lot of wine, grouped into its individual components, such as neutral French oaks barrels, stainless steel barrels, and the press fraction. This is an opportunity to declassify any barrels that do not meet our quality standards.
2. Blending – Once I know the base group of barrels that I am working with, the blending process begins. How will these wines best fit together? It's quite random at the start, with many trial tastes, but quickly becomes more focused and strategic. At this point, I will call in other tasters for blind evaluations and feedback.
3. Adjustments – Once I land on a final base blend, I look for any adjustments that the wine may need. I might do an acid trial where I taste the wine with slightly varied acidity. Or, I may do a color trial where I slightly adjust the pink tone of the Rose. Most often, the decision is made to do nothing at all.
4. Stabilize – Clarity in white wine can be an important factor to winemakers. Many consumers are accustomed to a clear glass of white wine, free of any solid matter or haze. Prior to bottling, wines are typically stable in their environment, which is a constant cellar temperature of 58 degrees. When the wine temperature varies much above or below that, the wine will precipitate solids. In the consumer world, this can be simply leaving the wine in your refrigerator for a week or in a hot car on a summer day. Though a highly debatable topic amongst winemakers, many will prepare the wine for these unfortunate circumstances. At Clif Family, careful fining trials are used to determine the most minimal process needed for stabilization.
5. Filter and Bottle – Final filtration prior to bottling insures clarity and stability in the bottle.
So, with the cold weather settling in, many are enjoying their big red wines with winters stews or roasts. Me, I'm working on these fine white wines, so that when the warm sun peeks through in February and we all have spring fever, the 2015 Clif Family Rose will be ready and waiting.
Pork Spare Ribs with Porcini Spice Rub

Recipe by Executive Chef John McConnell
1 (3 pound) rack of pork spare ribs, fresh or thawed
1 (2.5 ounce) jar Clif Family Kitchen Porcini Spice Rub
Preheat oven to 450F. Lightly season pork ribs with kosher salt and let stand for five minutes. Next, over a sheet pan or baking dish lined with aluminum foil, rub a ¼ cup of rub on the meat side and 2 tablespoons on the rack side. Season meat side of ribs once again with salt and place ribs on the sheet pan meat side up. Bake for 25-28 minutes, rotating ribs every 10 minutes, basting with juices and checking to ensure that they are caramelizing without burning the spice rub. Once ribs are golden brown and you begin to smell the aromas of the rub, remove ribs from oven. Lower temp of your oven to 250F. Take the rack of ribs and wrap securely in foil to create an aluminum pouch. By trapping the steam during cooking, the ribs will tenderize in their own juices and fall-off-the-bone. Cooking time depends on size and meatiness your ribs and requires patience and constant checking. I recommend one hour of cooking per every two pounds of ribs i.e 1.5 hours for this recipe. Once the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender, remove ribs from the oven and open foil pouch to allow the ribs to rest for ten minutes. Serve as is or with some delicious Peachy BBQ Sauce.
Peachy BBQ Sauce
(yields 3 cups)
1 TBSP Clif Family Kitchen Estate Extra Virgin Olive oil
1 TBSP fresh garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
Pinch of chili powder, New Mexican preferably
½ cup yellow onion, minced
1 TBSP yellow mustard
1 ½ cups ketchup
1 10 oz. jar Clif Family Kitchen O'Henry Peach Preserve
1-2 TBSP Clif Family Kitchen Red Wine Vinegar (to taste), add more for Carolina style BBQ
3-4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2-3 dashes hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
*optional: 6 large basil leaves, coarsely chopped
Place olive oil, garlic and pepper flakes in a stainless steel, non-reactive pot. On medium heat, caramelize garlic to a light golden brown. Add onion and sweat until tender and translucent. Add remaining ingredients, except for basil, and whisk sauce to incorporate. Once sauce has come to a simmer, remove from heat and stir in basil. Season to taste and keep warm on stove top.

LAKE KATRINE — Ulster police traced a homeowner report of stolen car parts and scrap metal to two Esopus men.
The woman reported the theft Wednesday, including a description of the vehicle used by the men who took the parts.
Ulster police spotted the vehicle on Route 9W a short time later and stopped it. In the vehicle, police found the stolen property, they said.
The men are Mark C. Lane, 22, of Ohio Street in Connelly, and Jonathan T. Devoll, 18, of Rose Lane in Ulster Park.
Further investigation revealed Lane had taken property from the same house before, Ulster police said.
Police charged Lane with two counts of felony grand larceny and Devoll with one count of the same charge.
The pair were released to appear in Ulster Town Court at a later date.

Real Madrid Cruises to Victory
The Journal provides minute-by-minute analysis of the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinal game between Real Madrid and Galatasaray. Joshua Robinson provides commentary.
The quarterfinals of the Champions League tend not to be a traditional place for underdogs to duke things out. Then again, Malaga and Borussia Dortmund haven't been traditional underdogs this season. They may not have the same history or pedigree of the other teams from their countries—no one would mistake Malaga for Real Madrid, or Dortmund for Bayern Munich—but they haven't gotten this far by accident.
Malaga dominated a group that included AC Milan and Zenit St. Petersburg, and then overcame a first leg deficit to eliminate Portuguese champions Porto in the Round of 16. This all came in a season that was projected to be a disaster after it was crippled by debt and had to sell off its best players (including Santi Cazorla) last summer.
Dortmund's run, meanwhile, has been even more impressive. It took 14 of a possible 18 points from the Champions League Group of Death against the champions of the English, Spanish, and Dutch leagues (Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Ajax Amsterdam, respectively). Then, after dispatching Shakhtar Donetsk with an aggregate score of 5-2 in the Round of 16, Dortmund showed that it might be outgrowing its reputation as a dark horse and turning into a legitimate contender. Can the men from the Ruhr challenge the likes of Barcelona and Bayern?
They'll have to deal with Malaga first to find out.
But tonight we've got Real Madrid's potentially tricky home game against Galatasaray, the reigning, retooled Turkish champions. Real qualified in controversial circumstances, eliminating Manchester United after Nani was sent off at Old Trafford. On that night, Real manager Jose Mourinho had even said that United was the better side. False modesty, perhaps, from one of the most self-assured managers in the game?
Probably. We always know what to expect from Real. Galatasaray, however, is tougher to read.
The Turkish club made a real statement of intent in the January transfer window, adding two major stars to its lineup in Dutch international Wesley Sneijder (signed from Inter Milan) and Didier Drogba (the former Chelsea striker returned to European soccer after a season in China). Those two certainly come with plenty of Champions League experience: Sneijder won the competition in 2010 with Mourinho as his manager, and Drogba drove home the winning penalty kick for Chelsea in last year's final against Bayern Munich. But will it be enough to lift the rest of the team in one of the most overwhelming arenas in sports, Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium?
It's a pretty standard (read: excellent) lineup for Real tonight as the club chases the title it was won nine times in its history, but not since 2001-2002. Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Angel Di Maria lead the line. Worth noting, as well, is the return of Michael Essien to Champions League action after not playing since the group stage.
So here's the starting 11: Diego Lopez (GK), Varane, Ramos, Coentrao, Khedira, Ozil, Alonso, Essien, Di Maria, Ronaldo, Benzema
When you think of the top scorers in the Champions League, you think of Ronaldo and Messi, right? Well, you'd be missing Galatasaray striker Burkaz Yilmaz. In eight games, he has eight goals, the same number as those other two.
So here's the lineup for the men from Istanbul: Muslera (GK), Nounkeu, Semih Kaya, Eboué, Altintop, Inan, Melo, Riera, Sneijder, Drogba, Yilmaz.
Seeing players line up with hand on heart before a game is common in soccer, but only for national anthems. For some reason, Galatasaray did it during the playing of the operatic Champions League anthem, a purpose-written piece of music inspired by Zadok the Priest. Strange.
0-0, 1st minute
And we're off!
0-0, 2nd minute
Seeing players line up with hand on heart before a game is common in soccer, but only for national anthems. For some reason, Galatasaray did it during the playing of the operatic Champions League anthem, a purpose-written piece of music inspired by Zadok the Priest. Strange.
0-0, 3rd minute
Seeing players line up with hand on heart before a game is common in soccer, but only for national anthems. For some reason, Galatasaray did it during the playing of the operatic Champions League anthem, a purpose-written piece of music inspired by Zadok the Priest. Strange.
Just as strange is Michael Essien lining up at right back. He replaces Alvaro Arbeloa.
0-0, 4th minute
Lovely move from Real Madrid there. Di Maria takes down a long, crossfield ball on his right foot with consummate skill and tries to loop into Benzema in the box. Benzema gets his head on it but floats it just wide.
0-0, 4th minute
It already looks like it could be an open game. Melo responds to that first chance with a speculative shot of his own from the right side. It goes over the bar.
0-0, 7th minute
Jose Mourinho is already up off his bench (wearing his trademark snood) and urging his team to press higher up the field when Galatasaray has the ball. The Turkish side has looked calm on the ball so far, certainly not awed by the venue.
0-0, 8th minute
So much for that poise I was talking about. A wayward backpass nearly allows Benzema to break through. Only his poor cutback prevented a shot on goal there.
1-0 Real, 10th minute
Brilliant goal! It's Cristiano Ronaldo!
1-0 Real, 10th minute
What a brilliant move to carve apart Galatasaray. That one started from the back with a 40-yard ball to Ozil, who immediately laid it off for a quick one-two with Benzema. The hard work's not over then, though. Benzema still has to pick out Ronaldo with a diagonal ball.
And once it's there, he doesn't miss. Ronaldo finishes with the coolest chip over the keeper.
1-0 Real, 12th minute
Now it's Drogba who sees a chance to equalize! He takes a pass from Eboue on the edge of the penalty area and has just enough room to turn. He fires left-footed and it goes over, but maybe he could have taken an extra second to settle the ball. He had a yard of space in front of him.
1-0 Real, 14th minute
Ozil and Ronaldo prowling on the left side of the Galatasaray box. Melo stands up well though and the move falls apart. Ronaldo's goal, by the way, ensured that Madrid's scoring streak in the Champions League is now 22 games, dating back to the semifinal against Barcelona in 2011.
1-0 Real, 16th minute
Sneijder gets his first sight of goal, but it's not much of a chance. Without a teammate to lay it off to, he tries his luck and it bends well wide.
1-0 Real, 18th minute
Now it's Altintop with a long shot for Galatasaray, wide again. They've been shooting almost on sight, but not yet testing Diego Lopez, Real's full-time stand-in goalkeeper for Iker Casillas.
1-0 Real, 21st minute
No clear chances from either side, really since the goal. Madrid is still looking dangerous, but Galatasaray is still trying to figure out exactly which way to attack the Spanish defense. Right now, they're trying to go through the middle, but running into Varane and Ramos.
1-0 Real, 24th minute
Real Madrid is really not thrilled with how much physical defending tonight's referee is allowing. There have been at least three occasions when defenders have gone in for rather muscular challenges, only to see the ref wave play on. The most recent one was on Di Maria, who couldn't get anywhere near the ball because he had two arms wrapped around him.
1-0 Real, 26th minute
A first save for Lopez! And not the most convincing one at that. Drogba shoots with his right from 20 yards out and the light ball seems to dip in the air, so Lopez elects to punch it away instead of catching.
1-0 Real, 27th minute
This is better from the visitors. Eboue breaks into the box on the right and tries to lay a ball across to Drogba but it's cut out for a corner. There are faint shouts for a handball after Felipe Melo's header hits a white shirt—nothing doing with the ref, though.
2-0 Real, 29th minute
Goal! Benzema!
2-0 Real, 29th minute
Essien's cross from the right side somehow bypassed two Galatasaray defenders, including Eboue (remember that kind of defensive work from him, Arsenal fans?), and lands right in Benzema's feet. He gets it out just enough to whip his right foot through it and knock it in off the post from seven yards. Too easy for Real.
2-0 Real, 31st minute
You know, rewatching that penalty shout for Galatasaray, the visitors had a case. Not so much on Melo's initial header, which hit Khedira on the shoulder, but moments later when the ball bounced up and hit Essien, seemingly on the arm. That was legitimate, but a tough one to see for the ref and his assistants through all the bodies.
2-0 Real, 35th minute
Nice skill from Drogba to get around Ramos, who didn't break much of a sweat trying to win that ball back, and set up Yilmaz. But the ball is just a little bit behind him and his half-volley goes wide. If Galatasary doesn't score next, they may as well be dead and buried in this tie.
2-0, 38th minute
Inan has had a lot of the ball in midfield for Galatasaray, but he's just not getting the outlets. Without running into blind alleys, he's not seeing a lot of great options to get rid of it in dangerous areas.
2-0 Real, 39th minute
Ronaldo has the spectacular in mind there as he leaps to try a scissor kick, but the ball never gets to his boot as Kaya puts his head on it first to clear the danger. They wind up in a heap on the ground. Naturally, both managers think it's a foul.
2-0 Real, 41st minute
Comical defending them from Nounkeu—or cynical, depending on how you look at it. Benzema blazes past him on the left, about to burst into the penalty area with Ronaldo free in the center, and Nounkeu just trips him. It's a dangerous free kick now Real.
2-0 Real, 42nd minute
Ronaldo takes it, from the top left corner of the box, and swerves it just over the bar and onto the roof of the net. Close. Galatasaray just doesn't seem to have enough ideas to stop Real at the moment.
2-0 Real, 44th minute
Chance for Eboue! After a nice one-two with Drogba on the right, Eboue finds himself in a ton of space at the top of the penalty area, through on goal. He goes for power and it's straight at the feet of Lopez who does well to block.
2-0 Real, 45th minute
We'll have one minute of stoppage time.
2-0 Real, 46th minute
Another potential opening for Galatasaray! He latches onto a very long ball, beating Ramos along the way, and turns about 18 yards out. But the excellent Varane is there to pounce on his the ball inside is own area and prevent a shot.
2-0 Real, Halftime
That'll do it for the first half.
2-0 Real, Halftime
Galatasaray has had a sniff of goal here and there, but Real has been vastly superior in this first half. A couple of moments of brilliance from Ronaldo, Ozil, and Benzema have given the home side the two-goal cushion. But Benzema also drew a little controversy, too, when his outstretched foot seemed to catch Kaya in the head. (It was the same kind of leap that saw Manchester United's Nani red-carded in the Round of 16 second leg.) A ball also appeared to hit Michael Essien on the arm in the Real Madrid penalty area when the score was still 1-0. Again, the referee saw nothing wrong.
Galatasaray is staring at a big hole. And they'll need at least a goal before they leave the Bernabeu to stay alive in this matchup over two legs.
Meanwhile, further south in Spain between Malaga and Dortmund, it's still 0-0.
2-0 Real, 46th minute
And we're back!
2-0 Real, 47th minute
Free kick for Real Madrid about 25 yards out and slightly to the left. Ronaldo steps up again and puts it straight in the wall.
2-0 Real, 49th minute
It's been all Real since the restart and it feels like a matter of time before this turns to 3-0. Just now, Di Maria misses connecting with a chipped ball over the top that would have seen him through on goal without a defender in a five-yard radius.
2-0 Real, 52nd minute
Does Nonkeu know he's carrying a yellow card? He's certainly living dangerously as he charges into the back of Di Maria as he crosses his run onto another long ball from Alonso.
2-0 Real, 53rd minute
Xabi Alonso picking out a long ball is something to behold. He and Madrid have been doing this all night, bypassing the Galatasaray midfield from inside their own half with deeply incisive long passes. On that last one, a 35-yard ball from Alonso right up the gut, Ronaldo was half a step away from being through on goal.
2-0 Real, 57th minute
Meanwhile, Galatasaray can barely work the ball through midfield. Drogba is dropping deep to get things going. And with the ineffective Sneijder replaced by Gokhan Zan, they haven't created anything in the final third.
Real 2-0, 60th minute
Nice work from Ozil on the left to pass it inside to Ronaldo, who sells a fake and then sees the room to shoot. He fires at right-footed from the top of the box, but it's straight at Muslera.
2-0 Real, 63rd minute
Great chance for Real! Another stunning chipped ball by Alonso, up the middle again, slices through the Turkish defense and bounces into the feet of Di Maria by the penalty spot. He can't get it out of his feet enough to get much power or direction on it and Muslera blocks well.
Moments later, Melo is at the other end with a shot wide of the goal. Has Galatasaray even had a chance from inside the box?
2-0 Real, 66th minute
That third Real Madrid goal looks like it could come any minute. Mourinho seems to feel that way, too, so he's put on a fresh striker: Gonzalo Higuain replaces Karim Benzema, who scored Real's second tonight.
2-0 Real, 69th minute
Two crosses in quick succession are well cleared by Galatasaray, though there isn't enough speed in the team to build a threatening counter-attack.
2-0 Real, 72nd minute
If the two-leg matchup isn't quite out of Galatasaray's reach yet, tonight's game definitely is the way things are going. There's been no creativity from the Turkish side in this half and no sign of Real letting up. Elsewhere in Spain, tonight's other Champions League quarterfinal is a tighter affair, with Dortmund and Malaga still tied, 0-0, after 70 minutes.
2-0 Real, 73rd minute
Felipe Melo earns a yellow card, either for saying something untoward to the linesman, or in a case of mistaken identity, since the reckless tackle there actually comes from Inan.
3-0 Real, 73rd minute
Goal! There it is from Higuain!
3-0 Real, 74th minute
Real earned a questionable free kick about 40 yards out after a foul by Drogba (though he Sergio Ramos seemed to both be going for the ball) and it was Xabi Alonso who stepped up to deliver another sensational ball. Lifting it into the box, he found the substitute Gonzalo Higuain by the penalty spot. And Higuain, shaking some poor marking, headed it home with aplomb.
3-0 Real, 76th minute
That should all but send Real into the semifinal now, with the second leg in Istanbul all but a formality. I just don't see this Galatasaray team putting four past Madrid next week. Especially not if Real is still in the mood for goals like this—Ronaldo just tried another scissor kick that hit Eboue in, shall we say, a delicate place.
3-0 Real, 79th minute
Galatasaray robbed of a penalty! Yilmaz bursts into the box and Sergio Ramos clearly steps on his foot. Yilmaz goes tumbling and is subsequently booked for diving. It's been that kind of night for Yilmaz, who will now miss the second leg through suspension.
Meanwhile, Bulut replaces Hamit Altintop.
3-0 Real, 80th minute
Mesut Ozil, after an excellent night's work, heads to the bench, replaced by Luka Modric. Then Inan has a pop at goal for Galatasaray, but Lopez saves well to his right. It was the kind of late-game shot you see from a team that has been thoroughly beaten.
3-0 Real, 83rd minute
This is starting to feel a little like the end of every pickup game ever: No one wants to run anymore and it devolves into a shooting contest when everyone is convinced they're Cristiano Ronaldo. (Except here, one of them is actually Cristiano Ronaldo.) That last shot by Modric never stood a chance.
3-0 Real, 83rd minute
Galatasaray manager Fatih Terim, a legend in Turkey, makes his last academic change: Riera is off for Amrabat. A goal now might feel good, but it would change very little in the grand scheme of things. Galatasaray would still have to beat Real by two clear goals in Turkey next week.
3-0 Real, 86th minute
Five minutes to go and Mourinho has decided to shut things down. 3-0 is good enough for him. Off goes Di Maria and on comes the defender Pepe. Good night, Galatasaray.
3-0 Real, 88th minute
Still all square, 0-0, in the Malaga-Dortmund game, with less than five minutes to play over there. If that game stays the same, then things will be settled next week in Germany, where any draw except 0-0 would be enough to see Malaga through. The prospect of three Spanish teams in the Champions League semifinals is still very much alive.
3-0 Real, 90th minute
Maybe a late consolation here for the visitors. Eboue is brought down by Ramos in a dangerous position and Ramos goes in the book, meaning he'll miss the next game. Which isn't quite fair, since it was pretty clearly a dive. Galatasaray has a free kick now about 22 yards out.
3-0 Real, 91st minute
In the first of three minutes of stoppage time, Drogba steps up for the free kick and knocks it into the top of the wall. It goes out for a corner.
3-0 Real, Final
It's all over. Real puts a chokehold on this matchup ahead of its trip to Turkey next week. Galatasaray would need a superhuman effort—and probably some deus ex machina—to win by four goals. So thanks for coming Galatasaray, we have some lovely prizes for you backstage.
3-0 Real, Final
But tonight's other quarterfinal is far from settled. Malaga and Dortmund tied 0-0, despite Dortmund having the bulk of the possession. So that one will be decided in Germany. Our game, however, was all but over within 30 minutes, when Real cruised to a 2-0 lead. Higuain's second-half goal was the final touch, which may allow Mourinho to rest some of his stars next week.

Joleon Lescott has been called up by manager Roy Hodgson following three departures from his squad for the only friendly before England's World Cup qualifying campaign begins away to Moldova next month.
Hart has a back problem that forced him to miss Manchester City's 3-2 win over Chelsea in the Community Shield season curtain-raiser at Villa Park on Sunday which means John Ruddy or teenager Butland will make their England bow.
Prior to this summer, Butland's only previous experience at senior level was League Two for Cheltenham last season. Then, when Ruddy was forced to pull out of England's Euro 2012 squad, Butland was elevated into the senior ranks for the first time as third-choice goalkeeper.
Although Butland did not make an appearance in Poland and Ukraine, he made a big impression on the England coaching staff and was also allowed to play for Great Britain during their Olympic campaign. Butland again did well in front of massive crowds at Old Trafford, Wembley and the Millennium Stadium.
So, with England Under-21s not in action this week, Hodgson named Butland as his third choice again for the trip to Berne.
However, with Hart ruled out due to a back injury, Hodgson has shown incredible belief in Butland by opting not to call up a replacement.
As the only other keeper in the squad is the uncapped Ruddy, someone will make their debut this week.
The question Hodgson is mulling over is whether Butland should be the man, even though the youngster himself insisted less than a fortnight ago that he was still some way off challenging Hart for his England place.
"I am still only 19 and I need to play games before I can ever think about testing Joe because he is one of the best keepers in the world at present," he told Press Association Sport.
One of Butland's Olympic team-mates, Sturridge, will not be involved either after picking up a toe injury during Chelsea's Community Shield defeat to Manchester City.
Arsenal's Oxlade-Chamberlain has also been ruled out of the Wembley friendly with an ankle injury. The winger, who turns 19 on Wednesday, reported for duty on Monday morning but, after sustaining an ankle injury in Arsenal's friendly with Cologne on Sunday, has immediately been released back to his club.

I'm looking to display posts on a paged that are of a specific category, ie catA posts only go on catA page, catB on catB page etc etc. Is this plugin capable of this?
I've installed the plugin. Set catA page to catA category on the drop down list and so on.
I am using the responsive theme. It has no category.php file in the theme.
I created one, and pasted in the following line of code:

But it doesn't display catA in catA page and catB in catB page. Where am I going wrong??

When the Miami Dolphins won back-to-back Super Bowls in the 1970s, the surest way to get the tough yards and reach the end zone was to hand the ball to Larry Csonka.

About Gatherer's
Gatherer's Ethos
Gatherer's is from a place of flavor; a place where people stand resolute in their belief that things that are good for you should taste great too. Gatherer's granolas are not run of the mill, they are a cut above, the cream of the crop, made using locally sourced and organic ingredients. Go ahead, take a bite and see for yourself.
How Gatherer's started
Gatherer's began as a family recipe. The flavor that would later become Chipmunk's Choice became a favorite among my friends at college.
One summer day in 2010, I introduced the granola at the Delmar Farmers Market near my home in upstate New York. It was purely on a whim, but it ended up catching on. Before I knew it, I had a customer base that expected me to continue baking for them. I was baking at night, using the kitchen at a local cafe where I was the manager during the day. At the same time, I was developing another web-based start-up company.
The farmers market customers demanded more granola with every passing week, and some began to ask the obvious question,
"why don't you sell this anywhere else?"
It was an interesting notion, though I had no ambitions of baking granola for a living. Nevertheless, I decided to spend an afternoon trying my hand at wholesaling to local stores. By the end of that day, my granola was available on shelves at five local retailers.
Turning a hobby into a business
Two months later I decided to drop everything else I was doing and pursue the granola idea. I incorporated, though I still didn't know what to call the company. The name Gatherer's had yet to be thought up.
At that point, I had one flavor built around peanut butter, almonds and maple syrup that I had jokingly named Chipmunk's Choice. The name was an attempt to poke fun at the way big cereal companies used animal mascots to attract the attention of children. The granola was only available in glass jars with homemade labels of a chipmunk eating an almond. There was a lot to do before anyone would confuse what I was doing with a brand.
By the New Year, things were different. Squirrel Bait had been invented and we had an incredible graphic designer developing logos. Gatherer's Gourmet Granola became the brand with a unifying theme of fuzzy forest animals preparing for winter.
I rented a bakery with a pair of bakers from the local farmers market. There, Gatherer's was baked two days a week with the rest of the week dedicated to selling and figuring out how to manage the business.
Gatherer's grows up
In early summer of 2012, Gatherer's moved into its own space in Schenectady, New York. We now have 13 employees and have retailers in eleven states. With the help of a successful campaign on Kickstarter, Gatherer's has recently launched three new certified gluten-free flavors.
There's a lot more to the story on our

Linkedin integrates Facebook-style 'mention' feature
Provides hyperlinks to people and companies in updates and conversations
PROFESSIONAL SOCIAL NETWORK Linkedin is rolling out a Facebook-style tool that allows users to mention and hyperlink people and companies on the network in status updates and conversations.
The feature works the same way as it does on Facebook, suggesting a name from a drop-down menu when the user begins to type it.
"Linkedin members are involved in millions of conversations across Linkedin day after day," said the company's Associate Product Manager, Angela Yoonjeong Yang in a blog post today. "That's why we want to make it even easier for you to start those conversations, share knowledge with one another and ultimately become even better at what you do."
The person or company you mention will receive a notification alerting them that they have been mentioned. In addition to first-degree connections, Yang said you can also mention other Linkedin members engaged in conversations in the comment sections of posts on the Homepage.
"Mentions will make it easier for you to start conversations with your network while also enabling you to respond in real-time when someone begins a conversation with you," Yang added.
We originally heard rumours about the feature earlier today, as it had been reported that selected users noticed the tool on their profiles.
We contacted Linkedin about the feature and a spokesperson told The INQUIRER, "We are currently testing the ability for members to directly mention each other in professional conversations on Linkedin. This test is part of our ongoing efforts to help members further engage with their networks in meaningful ways across the Linkedin platform."
The introduction of direct mentions will follow Linkedin's addition last year of "endorsements", a rather pointless feature that allows users to recognise professionals for their expertise.
Also similar to Facebook in that it imitates "likes", endorsements allow Linkedin users' connections to endorse one of their skills that they've listed on their profile or recommend one that they haven't added yet.
However, the feature was not very well received by users, with many taking to the professional network's website to complain that it was devaluing profiles. Perhaps the mentioning tool will be more welcome once it's rolled out for everyone. When this might happen is unknown, as the feature is still undergoing testing. µ

On Saturday evening in front of a thunderous home crowd Anthony Joshua defeated Charles Martin to become the IBF heavyweight champion of the World.
For the first time in almost two decades, speculation of a long-awaited unified champion could be heard amongst spectators and commentators.
With domestic bouts against David Haye and Tyson Fury on the cards and an international tie with Deontay Wilder in the offing, the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO belts could soon belong to the same champion.
Heavyweight boxing has been divided between four championships for almost 30 years. Each belt signifies a different facet of the heavyweight division, yet they all belong under the same umbrella, and ultimately perform a singular function by regulating and administering the sport.

Clean or Send Back?
Hey, Everyone
I apologize as I'm sure this has been discussed (as a matter of fact, I KNOW the dust issue has been discussed, because I researched it thoroughly before buying). But my question is this: I was just able to get my hands on my D600 today, it's got less than 100 shots on it, and it definitely has the dust problem. So, I was wondering if I should clean the sensor (although I've never done it before but I think I can, based on what I've seen on YouTube) and try again, or send it back and try another one (I'm sure I'll have to pay shipping)? I have 30 days to decide! What's your thoughts? Thanks!

Just my opinion, but if I sent back every camera that got dust on the sensor, even with very new, I would have sent back every dslr I have ever owned.

Fair enough - so if I attempt to clean it, you think that will correct the issue, or will I be cleaning it constantly for the next 6 months or more? In your opinion, that it?
#3. "RE: Clean or Send Back?" | In response to Reply # 2Sun 06-Jan-13 01:40 AM
Again, just my experience, and partially about the situations I shoot in, but I clean the sensors on all of my dlsr's once a month or so.
I honestly don't think that there is anything really different with the D600 than any other dslr that has come out other than the D600 got dirty a little early, but if you read the articles out there, it goes away and gets back to "normal" after a couple thousand shots.
I seem to remember seeing almost the exact same "complaints" about the D7000.

I currently have the D600, D7000 and 2 IR converted D200 bodies. I honestly think that the D600 is the best camera I have ever owned, and that is coming from 20+ years of shooting.
Of course I tend to put my gear in pretty bad places at times.
Watch through to the end

There is a post pinned at the top of this forum that will give you a good overview of the tools and methods for cleaning your digital sensor:
Sooner or later you will need to clean your sensor. The only way to be sure it is done right is to do it yourself.

I sent mine back after three days of taking wonderful pics, all 388 of them. Mind you, that was very constrained shooting as I can take that much pictures in just a day. The day it arrived, it already had dust on it. It is comparable to my old D100 which I used sparingly but granted I never cleaned it's sensor ever since I bought it 19 months ago. Who knows if the original owner ever cleaned it but let's just say he did.
At 100 shots - bam! I had to go to steal my friend's Sensor Swab and drop by Best Buy to buy me a Rocketfish blower. Practiced on my D100 first then did the D600. At 200 shots - bam bam! Cleaned it again! This time I took the painful way of alternately shooting The D100 and D600. At 300 shots - bam bam bam! Comparing the two, there definitely is a problem, Houston! The D100 stayed clean, and this was peeking through a 20X eyepiece I borrowed from our lab microscope. My observation is that, whatever it is - dust or oil or both - was coming from somewhere internally. But I DID NOT OBSERVE ANY DUST ON THE IMAGES even when I looked them up on my 30" Apple monitor.
Shot it some more, couldn't bear the thought of cleaning it over and over again, boxed it up and sent it back. I can wait until Nikon sorts this out, even though I will lose if they won't have a sale on them again.
So to the OP, it's your call! Just letting you know what I did as I was under the same situation a few days ago.
Did I tell you the pics are superb, DR was certainly there? I liked the pics more than the ones from my other brand camera.
#9. "RE: Clean or Send Back?" | In response to Reply # 0
If I sent my cameras in to have the sensors cleaned every time they needed it, I'd rarely have a camera to shoot with.
If you own a DSLR, cleaning the sensor it part of the package.

Cleaning is to be expected but cleaning every couple of hundred shots would be unworkable for me - decide for yourself if this applies to you. I could do an occasional clean only and if that doesn't sort it out long-term the camera would have to be returned. I wouldn't return it without trying to clean it, the pattern seems to be that a replacement is unlikely to be different.
My concern is that the presence of internal debris is an indication of a problem elsewhere within the camera, and wiping the sensor isn't going to fix that. My budget means that I have to think of resale value which is difficult to predict at the moment.
And for those people who maintain that there isn't any problem whatsoever, wouldn't Nikon PR have stepped in by now to make the smallest of statements to that effect?
Despite months of misgivings I'm probably going to go ahead and buy this camera, from Amazon as it gives you a year to return if necessary and by which time a fix by Nikon might be available.

Hey Renix,
Like most here I agree that dust is an issue, but one that every DSLR owner experiences. From my experience all of my cameras have had what I call an initial shutter oil break in period. Admittedly, the D600 did have quite a bit more dust, oil, gunk, whatever you want to call it a 200 shots than I thought it should. In fact I was a little disappointed it looked so bad, but not surprised since like you I had read ahead about this before buying it. I air cleaned it, but it did little. Used a brush, and it was a little better so I waited another 500 shots or so and did a wet clean because a couple of pretty big spots started to show up on my shots. I did some time lapse testing, ok I was playing and now at around 1600 shots there are some more but not nearly as much. Nothing compared to the beginning. I'll do another wet clean and see. I am hopeful that the worst is behind.
I am subscribing to the theory that Nikon's quality control was lacking when they made these and a little more lubricant was used than should have been.
So, the moral of the story is don't worry, the D600 is a great camera and I for one expect to get many many photos out of it (and hopefully a masterpiece or two) before I'm done!
Good luck.

Lots of good advice here, and thanks, everyone! I think that the general consensus is that it's a good camera, and that I should work with it and get it settled in - that's my plan, and thanks for your input!
#14. "RE: Clean or Send Back?" | In response to Reply # 12b702sc Registered since 23rd Dec 2012Wed 09-Jan-13 10:18 AM
While I believe the D600 can take a terrific photo, I do not concur with the others that all cameras get this same amount of dust. While it is true that a camera will get dust, the amount and speed of accumulation with the D600 is phenomenally fast compared with other cameras. I went through three units spread out over 3 months. While some claim that they only see the dust/debris/oil spots at greater than f/22, I have seen them at f/5.6 and f/8. Now some folks live with their aperture between f/1.4 to 4 and they should be fine. Some do not.
One other thing that I think makes a difference with the amount of debris, but have no specific proof, is if you shoot a lot of burst mode either in continuous low or high. It seems to get the camera spewing a good bit.
Personally, I would rather not spend a lot of time going through cleaning every couple of hundred shots, but heck, if you have the time and desire, go for it. One thing is very clear with the D600, owners who keep it are going to get highly proficient with cleaning sensors. I wonder if Nikon has stock in Visible Dust or Copper Hill.
I gave up and just went with a D800. I figured between the cost of repetitive cleanings, and no idea when or if Nikon was going to fix the problem, it made sense to me. I like taking photographs. I want reliability. I like the picture quality of the D600 just as much or more than the D800. The low light pictures in particular were terrific.
In the end, only you can decide what you want. For my part, I had no faith that in the middle of some great shots I was going to have to factor in unwanted spots. The amount of dust from the D600 is more than most cameras spew. That is the bottom line. Good luck with your decision, and yes, there is a great amount of information on the Nikonian's website.

I got my D600 from BH Photo at the end of November. Last week, I was going through my photos from Christmas Eve, and I noticed some spots in some of the pics at f/5.6...upper left corner. Like you, I was aware of the reports of dirty sensor filters, but bought the camera anyway. At the point that I noticed the dust spots, I had about 3700 actuations on the camera. I took it outside and took my FIRST shot of a clear sky...low and behold the filter was covered with spots. I took my rocket blower and blew out the mirror box really well, then I wet cleaned the filter. Took me about 10 pec pads before I didn't see any more streaks or spots. I never even considered sending it back, and I certainly wouldn't pay my local camera store $70 to clean it...just my opinion.
My D600 is a GREAT camera, and I'm debating replacing my D7000 with a second D600!

Mine showed dust in first few hundred shots. I ran multiple in-camera cleanings each time it became aggravating and that cleared up my camera. I am now around a 2500 shots and it is not getting any worse - just 4 or 5 spots. Now I will do a more thorough cleaning and I expect the camera is settled in for the long haul.

That seems to be the routine people who keep them find, inital fast accumulation and blowing out plus a wet cleaning or two and it seems to stop. There might be more dust sitting inside the camera from assembly so blowing out, getting as much as possible out before it lands on the AA filter will speed the settling in to normal levels of accumlation. Using the built-in shaker might be just redistributing dust, until the residue from assembly is reduced.

I wasn't too worried since BBVA Compass offers rebates of other banks ATM's. The first time I sent in my receipts, I received my rebates without any problems. Everytime after that, my rebates were a small fraction what they should have been. I immediately started messaging the bank electronically since calling would be too expensive. I listed my questions and the responses I received never addressed any of my questions. Finally after literally 15 emails they told me they could only refund the ISF fees because the ATM ees are not listed on the receipts. I responded that I had copies of my receipts that not only show the fee, but I also highlighted it for them. They would not respond to my inquiry after that. I asked why they were able to refund the first batch of receipts in full- no response.
They clearly figured out that I would be requesting $50 a month in ATM rebates and decided to give me the run around hoping I would get tired of asking and let it go. I did everything they asked. I sent them the receipts with the highlighted the fees within their time frame. The day after I got home, I moved my money to USAA- who really knows and understands customer service.
This was the last straw for me. A few years ago, I tried to deposit a rather large check that I received quarterly from an investment I had made. I could only make it on a Saturday due to my work schedule. I was told that the check was too large and no manager was there to approve it and I would have to return during the week. I told them that that was impossible for me. They did not offer to hold the check even when i pointed out that I had deposited checks for the EXACT SAME amount 2 times previously that year. It is extremely frustrating when a bank will not take your money.

Good-Bye to Long Island's 'Gatsby' Mansion
In Sands Point, N.Y., on Monday, an excavation loader demolished the "Land's End Mansion" that some scholars believe inspire F. Scott Fitzgerald's "The Great Gatsby." The mansion will be replaced by a subdivision of five houses prices at $10 million each.
According to a 2005 profile of the estate in Forbes, when it was on the market for $28 million, it was built in 1902 and "came to be owned by Gilded Age journalist Herbert Bayard Swope, one of the first recipients of the Pulitzer Prize and, later, editor of the New York World. He held many lavish parties there, hosting the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx and, of course, the Fitzgeralds."

The Car Connection Nissan Versa Overview
The Nissan Versa is the name applied to two different vehicles—a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback, the Versa Note. Both are spacious for their subcompact size class, and both are among the most affordable vehicles in their niche.
The current Versa cars offer a value-priced alternative to the latest Honda Fit hatchback as well as the Chevrolet Sonic, Ford Fiesta, Kia Rio, Hyundai Accent, Mitsubishi Mirage, and Toyota Yaris.
MORE: Read our 2016 Nissan Versa review
The new Nissan Versa
The current Versa four-door debuted as a redesigned model for 2012, trading its predecessor's slab-sided lines for more rounded—some might say bulbous—shapes, and an updated Nissan corporate grille.
An all-new Versa Note five-door hatchback with very different styling was added as a 2014 model early in 2013; the two share a common name and some underpinnings but not a single body panel. (You can read a first drive report on the Nissan Versa Note here.)
All current Versa sedans are powered by a 109-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The 1.6 S gets notably worse fuel efficiency ratings (27 mpg city, 36 highway, 30 combined) than better-equipped models, because it is available only with a 5-speed manual gearbox or an optional 4-speed automatic. The higher-line models can be ordered with a more fuel-efficient version of Nissan's continuously variable transmission (CVT), which pushes the Versa sedan's ratings to 31/40/35 mpg.
The Versa continues to emphasize its value over any other attribute, helping the car appeal to folks who aren't necessarily looking for top performance or amazing fuel economy. It's a nice enough car to pilot in commuting, but the suspension is very soft, which hampers handling.
The Nissan Versa's lower price, however, comes with a tradeoff: a very basic interior and minimal driving feel. The latest Versa seems even more bargain-basement than ever in its features and appointments, with drum brakes across the lineup; short, flat seats; hard-and-hollow-feeling dash and door trim; and rear seatbacks that don't fold forward on the less expensive models. But for many buyers, roominess often trumps both of those qualities.
The Versa sedan and Note have very good interior room for their size class. Two normal-sized adults can even fit into the back seat in comfort, something not easily claimed by most competitors in the segment. The rear doors open wide to a back seat that's very spacious for the class, easily accommodating two adults or three kids. Those who want the most versatility should choose the Note hatchback, although it costs slightly more.
The Versa's safety ratings aren't stellar, either. Both the sedan and Note hatch receive four stars out of five overall from the federal government. The sedan is the only model to have been fully tested by the IIHS, which gives it top "Good" scores in all but the newest frontal crash test, where it receives a "Poor" result. As a result, the four-door Versa does not get the agency's Top Safety Pick nod.
Features are meager at the entry level. Air conditioning is now standard, as is Bluetooth pairing and voice control, though power windows and locks are not. (Power mirrors were made standard for 2016.) The mid-range SV model adds the usual convenience items, including power windows and cruise control, while the top-of-the-range SL models can reach around $18,000 when fully optioned with navigation, XM NavTraffic, and USB/iPod controls.
The Versa continues largely unchanged for 2016. Its sole new specifications are a pair of new paint colors—Cayenne Red and Gun Metallic—along with standard power mirrors in body color.

When the first-generation Versa was introduced back in 2007, it was the only subcompact to have a standard six-speed manual gearbox (something it no longer offers, sadly). Both the four-door sedan and the five-door hatchback were equipped with a 122-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. At first, a conventional four-speed automatic transmission was optional, but it was soon replaced by Nissan's continuously variable transmission (CVT).
Nissan added Base models of the Versa sedan in 2009, which were powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder making 107 hp. A 5-speed manual was standard there, as were manual locks and windows, while air conditioning, a stereo, and the automatic transmission were options, all to keep the price down. This lack of features also kept weight down, making the 1.6-liter models a little more fun to drive, if not to be in for long periods of time. The 1.6 was only really adequate if you stuck with the manual transmission, however. Interestingly, the Versa 1.6 got slightly lower fuel economy than 1.8 models, with EPA ratings of 26 mpg city, 31 highway, likely due to gearing that was meant to compensate for the lower engine output.
Versa S models were better equipped, including most of the basics the Base models forewent, while range-topping SL models came with upgraded sound, height-adjustable seats, power windows and locks, keyless entry, and standard electronic stability control. Although the Versa earned reasonably good safety ratings, prior to 2010 the Base and S models didn't come with standard anti-lock brakes or electronic stability control.
For 2010, in addition to the new safety equipment, Nissan added a slightly different grille to the lineup and made large, 16-inch alloy wheels optional, as well as a navigation and a satellite radio. Intelligent Key and Rockford Fosgate sound remained major options.

Comfortable room and picturesque location.
Very nice location and facilities. Great views and tranquility. Very good service.
The reception was warm and efficient. The view was spectacular and the dinners interesting and tasty. Personally, I missed a bathttub. More signage along the roads would be helpful.
