There was a time when grenadine was made from the fruit the French call le grenade — the pomegranate. The historic recipe was pomegranate juice, sugar, and perhaps the small addition of other fruits and aromatics. In most quarters now, certainly in the United States, "grenadine" always means Rose's Grenadine produced by the self-explanatory beverage conglomerate Dr. Pepper Snapple Group (DPSG), based in Plano, Texas. The company has a near monopoly on the grenadine market in North America and the Caribbean.
Rose's "grenadine" (I will drop the quotation marks around the DPSG product in subsequent mentions for readability) is, unfortunately, the standard corporate chemical concoction. Its eight unappealing ingredients — components really — are, in order by volume, (1) high fructose corn syrup, (2) water, (3) citric acid, (4) sodium citrate, (5) sodium benzoate, (6) FD&C Red #40, (7) "natural and artificial flavors", and (8)FD&C Blue #1.
The taste is thin and over-sweet, with a gruesome chemical bite. Rose's grenadine can dye antique porcelain near-permanent red, and we can only wonder at what the "natural" bit of the flavors might be. It's worth noting that DPSG also produces Hawaiian Punch®.
Even in France, modern grenadine is sometimes red, containing little or no pomegranate. But it is made with real (various red) fruits. Natural vanilla is often added. Middle-eastern suppliers produce deep-purple varieties rich in pomegranate and flavor.
In the US, pomegranate juice concentrate, available from the POM company, is very close to historic and actual grenadine. As is the company's POM juice, available at most convenience stores. Excellent artisanal grenadines can be purchased on Amazon.
If you want that intense red color you get with the DPSG Rose's grenadine, then add red food coloring directly to your drink or punch — and cut out the middleman.

ABU DHABI, 18 January 2011 – United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today that 2012 will be the International Year for Sustainable Energy for All. He was speaking in Abu Dhabi at the World Future Energy Summit.
Ban called for a "a global clean energy revolution – a revolution that makes energy available and affordable for all", adding that this was essential for minimizing climate risks, reducing poverty and improving global health, empowering women and meeting the Millennium Development Goals, for global economic growth, peace and security, and the health of the planet.
He reminded participants that next year will also mark twenty years since the Rio Earth Summit laid a blueprint for sustainable development.
"As we look forward to the Rio+20 Conference, let us be aware that clean energy and a low-carbon economy are among the keys to unlocking the door to a safer, more peaceful and prosperous world for all," said Ban.
Ban was joined at the Summit by UNIDO Director-General, Kandeh K. Yumkella, who is a member of the Secretary-General's official delegation, and one of Ban's key advisors on energy issues.
In 2009, the Secretary-General established an Advisory Group on Energy and Climate Change (AGECC), which is headed by Yumkella. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, the Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, is a member of AGECC.
The Group has recommended two bold but achievable targets for 2030 -- universal access to modern energy sources and a 40 per cent increase in energy efficiency.
"To achieve this, we must invest in the intellectual capital that will create new, green technologies. We need to increase private and public spending on research and development, and Governments need to create the right incentives," said Ban.
"We are on the brink of an exciting, sustainable future. Clean energy for all. Achieving the target set by my Advisory Group could cost 35 billion dollars a year over the next 20 years – a total of 700 billion dollars. This sounds like a lot, but it is merely 3 per cent of projected global energy investment over the same period. So let us pledge to invest wisely. We need to get our priorities right. People everywhere should be able to enjoy the health, educational and social benefits that modern energy sources offer."
"In the past four years, the World Future Energy Summit has become one of the premier annual events on renewable and sustainable energy," said Ban Ki-moon as he thanked Masdar and the Government of Abu Dhabi for hosting it.
"Abu Dhabi is becoming justifiably renowned as a hub of progress. You have brought remarkable wealth from the desert sands, and used it to create a vibrant modern nation. And your Masdar Initiative speaks of something more – a vision to build on and go beyond the age of fossil fuels to a new sustainable future."
Participants at the event noted that the decisions that are made today on energy will have far-reaching consequences, and that the prevailing fossil fuel-economy is contributing to climate change, and global energy needs are growing rapidly.
In 20 years, energy consumption will rise by 40 per cent -- mostly in developing countries, where 1.6 billion people still lack access to electricity, and where 3 billion people rely on traditional biomass fuels for cooking, heating, and other basic household needs.
Yumkella thanked the Secretary-General for his continued support and said that under his leadership "significant progress has been achieved in moving forward the political process on energy access, culminating in the General Assembly Resolution calling for designating 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All".
During a visit to Masdar City, Director-General Yumkella said that "one of the key elements of the global campaign on energy access will be to seek international partnerships to support action for the implementation of the General Assembly Resolution and for scaling-up the uptake of clean energy technologies and innovative business models."
He added that in this regard, strategic partnership will be forged with the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and Masdar.

Curtis Stone's culinary routine has changed a lot since he became a dad.
For starters, in the morning, instead of heading straight for the coffeemaker, the Aussie chef's first stop – around 5:30 a.m. – is his 14-month-old boy Hudson's room. "We always have 'brekkie' together," says Stone. "He loves sitting in the kitchen sink while I cut up different fruits."
During the meal, Stone likes to teach his son some dance moves ("Gangnam Style" is currently their go-to song) while trying to broaden the boy's palate. "Most mornings Hudson asks for an apple, but I'll make sure they're not always in sight, so he'll try something else, like pears," says Stone, who hosts Bravo's Top Chef Masters. "I try to vary it every day. I can't wait to keep teaching him more about food."
The Hollywood home Stone, 37, shares with his son and fiancée, actress Lindsay Price, provides an ideal classroom. There are plenty of fun kitchen gadgets (although Hudson loves simply "mixing" with a bowl and stirrer), an outdoor pizza oven, lemon and fig trees, and a vegetable garden.
"Hudson and I spend a lot of time there," says Stone. "The only problem is he never wants to leave, and occasionally he yanks out my gorgeous baby lettuces."

Good morning, here is our first sight of the chicks today when EJ has a quick bio-break. She has cleared out the spare eggshells that confused us, good girl!
Going to get a coffee.
If chick #3 hatches at night we may have better luck seeing it with the night camera . It is not as pixilated
EJ is sound asleep. i doubt much is happening under her right now
Thanks for starting the new thread, Scylla. Hi Barbara. I wonder if we'll see #3 in the wee small hours (always wondered why they call them that. I mean 3am is the same 60 minutes in length as 3pm) or in the early morning.
Ah! Just had a thought. Don't worry I'm fine ;-) Perhaps the reason why EJ keeps the egg shells next to the hatched chicks for a short while is that they act as some sort of comforter for them until they get fully used to the big world. don't know if it makes sense but it's just a thought :-)
Fleeting glimpse of egg:
EJ is doing some serious digging under her. By the way she shakes her head after each dig I think she is cleaning up "chick poo" LOL
Well EJ's doing a fair bit of scraping and one of the weans is very talkitive. Really wish I could speak Osprey. Perhaps one of the bobbleheads is saying: "Mum! That egg just talked" :-)
They don't produce nice easy "packets" of poo like some other birds ;-D
We cross posted, BARBARA (edit, and HERON), did you have a look at the egg above? I saw a hole - but I would, wouldn't I? ;-)
Paul I think you may have a point. More than one chick has slept their first night or two with their head back in the shell. Chick #2 did that last night or the night before .
scylla I just looked at the egg video. The glimpse is so brief I can't tell for certain. It may be a hole
I think first they poke a hole in the air pocket inside the fat end of the egg. Then chip through the egg on the fat end . I can't see if that is the fat end of the egg.
When you crack open a chicken egg you will see a membrane inside the fat end of the egg. That is the air pocket
Scylla. That does look a bit like a hole. Paused the vid, then had a good look. Can't be totally sure though but it did recall a hole.
Barbara When you crack open a chicken egg you will see a membrane inside the fat end of the egg. That is the air pocket
I know that, Barbara :o *mortally wounded* and I always store my eggs the right way up, which is more than can be said for some egg-packers ;-D
EJ is head-up, looking around now, tasting something imaginary, drooping, settling down.
Heron77it did recall a hole.
But very likely a blotch or piece of dirt :-/ Never mind, we must have something to study and speculate over, the night is long and can be barren :-)
I just ordered a free Kindle book and Amazon said I'd already bought it, and they're right :o I'm saving them for a rainy day, no chance of reading for the foreseeable future.
I hope EJ needs a nature break soon and we can look at it more closely :)

Ladies, let's be honest. Going for a mammogram isn't one of our favorite activities. But it's actually not as bad as it used to be, and the recently remodeled Trident Breast Care Center has taken extra steps to make it as comfortable and convenient as possible. With aromatherapy, private lockers and a gourmet coffee station for patients, your appointment might feel more like a spa visit. Plus, patients usually receive their results the same day, so they don't have the extra worry of a waiting period.
Clinical supervisor Erica Reed offers a few tips so you can have the best experience possible:
Keep an open mind. Trident Breast Care Center does only digital mammograms, which provide more clarity than analog mammograms and are considered more comfortable, too. "A lot of people are pleasantly surprised and say, 'Oh that wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Everyone told me to expect the worst.'"
Don't put it off. It's easy for life to get in the way, but routine can help catch breast cancer in its early stages. "The American Cancer Society recommends one mammogram a year, starting at age 40, and there is not recommended stopping point." Women with risk factors may start annual screenings earlier, or possibly have a baseline done at age 35. At Trident Breast Care Center, a typical mammogram takes about 30 minutes, and often can be scheduled within a week, or even that same day. If you find yourself nearby with some downtime, you are welcome to drop-in if you don't mind the possibility of waiting a few extra minutes.
Be prepared. For comfort, you might avoid visiting the week before your period, when your breasts may be more sensitive than other times of the month. When you do visit, wear a two-piece outfit for ease, and don't put on any deodorant, powder, lotion or perfumes on your breasts or under your arms. They can interfere with pictures and cause an otherwise unnecessary return visit. Finally, don't forget to bring along related medical information, including details about women in your family who have had breast cancer.
If you don't have insurance, know help is available. South Carolina has one of the highest rates of uninsured women in the country. The state's Best Chance Network (BCN) provides free breast and cervical cancer screenings for women who are uninsured, between the ages of 47 and 64 and meet certain income guidelines. If you or someone you know may qualify for breast and cervical cancer screening through this program, please call the American Cancer Society at 1-800-227-2345 and ask about the Best Chance Network.
To schedule an appointment with the Trident Breast Care Center, call 843-847-4883.

Rodent bait stations are used in the industry for several different reasons. These stations will extend the freshness of the bait, keep the rodenticide free from dirt, dust and weather. They will also limit the rats from taking the bait away which reduces excessive bait loss making it an efficient rodent control product. Rodent bait stations will also help you to monitor population. Tamper-resistant style stations such as the EZ Kleen Bait Station reduce the chances of accidental poisoning of non targeted animals.
The proper location for your rodent bait station will have a lot to do with your success in your pest control effort. Here are some things to consider when choosing the best places for your bait stations. Place stations on runways where rodents are more likely to encounter them. For Norway rats this is usually on the ground and roof rats this usually means up high. Maintain an uninterrupted supply of rodenticide. Empty bait stations mean missed opportunities to kill more rodents. When two or more stations show signs of feeding, add stations in between. Do not contaminate with insecticide. Norway rats may need a little coaxing inside the stations, so placing a little bit of peanut butter at both ends will help get your rodent to enter the bait tamperproof stations.

Man dressed as clown during fight with officer charged
A man dressed as a clown caught on camera fighting with a Milwaukee police officer has been charged with resisting an officer and disorderly conduct.
WISN 12 News obtained exclusive video of Kenneth Kraucunas in the fight near Milwaukee City Hall on Nov. 16.
Investigators said the scuffle started when the officer tried to arrest Kraucunas after responding to reports of a clown standing in the street with a toy gun yelling at traffic.
He also had a bullhorn which was blaring a recording of a police siren, police said.
When the officer told Kraucunas he was under arrest, the clown began to walk away and then a fight ensued.
The officer's jacket was torn and he suffered some scrapes and bruises.

Kyle Garrick remembers his first varsity baseball game as a Berkeley Stag like it happened last week.
He remembers his first hit, I doubled with the bases loaded against Fort Dorchester, which came in his second varsity at bat as an eighth grader.
My first at bat I was supposed to lay down a sac bunt and I popped out to the pitcher and Coach Cox went off.
The next trip to the plate, he delivered and Garrick remembers the pitch too.
Fastball middle in and Im able to turn on it and hit it on the screws, he said. Line drive in the gap.
If asked Garrick could cite specific plays from the more than 100 baseball games in which hes played at BHS, and not just the play, but the situation, what he was thinking and the result.
He is all the dirt and grime that makes up a baseball player.
He is a junior Pete Rose and put the hustle in Charlie Hustle.
Garricks favorite game (so far) was the second game in the District VII championship two years ago against Cane Bay when the Stags came in needing to win two against a Cobra team that had beaten them four times previously and celebrated a region championship on their infield.
I think we made a statement in that game, Garrick said. They held out Zach Wimmer for game two thinking they could beat us with their other guy, but we climbed all over him for five runs in the first inning and in the second game we didnt let Wimmer beat us.
Garrick said the game was classic Berkeley baseball.
Sterling Fiddie came in and threw lights out and he was just a sophomore and hadnt pitched much. He shut them out and shut them down.
Talking baseball with Kyle Garrick is like trying to catch lightning in a Mason jar. He is all over the map and he is a fast talker.
Hes dialed in.
From the skinny eighth grader who couldnt yet drive to practice to the tall, lean senior sporting a wild tattoo on his forearm, Kyle Garrick is all country hardball. Playing Berkeley Stags baseball has been his life and he knows no other way to play than The Berkeley Way. He has literally grown up wearing Berkeley blue.
Ive had two baseball coaches in my life, he said. My dad (L.M. Garrick) and Coach Cox. I dont know any other way of playing baseball than how we play at Berkeley. The next team I play for I dont know what Im going to do if we dont go all out in practice like we do here.
That next team is Florence Darlington Tech, a program that has been a stepping stone for former Stag baseball players from which to launch their collegiate careers. Garrick committed to playing there in April.
Kyles baseball philosophy echoes that of his coach: You play like you practice and you practice like you play. There is no difference between the two.
From that moment when we put on our cleats we know its game time... B.P. or ball game, we go all out. We focus all on baseball.
Landy Cox is known for his intensity in the dugout and on the sidelines, and will joke that he lives and dies with each pitch, but all kidding aside, he is hard on his players because thats the way he plays - hard.
Garrick thrives on that intensity.
I use it as motivation. When he gets fired up I get fired up. Every play we go all out. I dont now how to play any other way.
Garrick has logged more games behind the plate than any other Stag. He has accounted for more wins between the lines as well.
Hes hitting .400, has thrown out nine of 11 base runners trying to steal, and you can hang a weeks worth of laundry on his throws down to second.
Garrick loves catching, Im always in the middle of the game, its always right there in front of me... every pitch, every play.
Garricks high school baseball career will end soon and he wants to go out on top. His Stags are playing for a state championship this spring, though the state championship tournament wont start for another week and Berkeley has to play for the District VIII title first, but that mindset has been there for Garrick since January.
I want to go out in style, he said, but quickly added that its not just about him, its his teammates first and foremost. Its the guys I play with. Its our style. Id be nothing without them. Coach Cox put that style in my head in eighth grade.
We play one game, one pitch at a time. Every game, every pitch we play all out.
From the first pitch to the last out, for the last five years, that is the way Kyle Garrick plays baseball, and he wouldnt have it any other way.
Playing for Berkeley means everything to me, he said. Ive been laying it on the line from day one... all out. I leave nothing in the tank.
Spoken like a true baseball player.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and Deinove are joining forces to progress research efforts in biofuels and green chemistry. Deinove is focused on exploiting the natural properties of Deinococcus bacteria for the production of biofuels and other compounds of industrial or pharmaceutical interest.
Ten VTT researchers will team up with the company and its French academic partners from CNRS and INSA to leverage the properties of Deinococci in the digestion of biomass. They will also work on the development of an integrated process for the bioproduction of ethanol and chemicals from renewable feedstocks.
The objective is to evaluate different Deinococcus candidate strains screened by Deinove for deinol cellulosic ethanol production process. This process will then be scaled-up and tested in an industrial pilot by the sugar company Tereos.
"VTT is especially renowned for its expertise in enzyme discovery and engineering, with over 25 years of experience with lignocelluloses-degrading enzymes such as cellulases, hemicellulases, and other key-catalysts for the production of chemicals from biomass sugars," according to Deinove CEO, Jacques Biton. "In addition, VTT has cutting-edge skills and infrastructure for performing R&D in metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, and fermentation processes."
Erkki KM Leppävuori, president and CEO of VTT, adds, "As an open-innovation center creating sustainable industrial solutions, we are delighted to contribute to a future industrial breakthrough that could pave the way for many valuable developments not only in biofuels but also in the forestry and paper industry, the chemicals sector, and other markets."

As members of a residential academic community, students share responsibility with the faculty and administration of Hamilton College for creating and maintaining an atmosphere that is conducive to learning and personal growth and respectful of the rights of others. By their attendance at Hamilton College, students are obligated to comply with its regulations and procedures, which they are expected to read and understand.
The Board of Trustees assigns responsibility for student discipline to the President and faculty. In practice, the Dean of Students bears administrative responsibility for student discipline. The discretionary authority of the President to decide finally on any student disciplinary matter is not precluded by the provisions outlined below.
The Associate Dean of Students, as designee of the Dean of Students, is responsible for determining the appropriate mechanism for adjudicating alleged violations of College regulations and generally providing oversight and coordination of the judicial process. Any member of the Hamilton community shall bring complaints against a student or a group of students to the attention of the Dean of Students, Office of Campus Safety, Office of Residential Life, the Associate Dean of Students, or the Chair of the Judicial Board.
It is the policy of Hamilton College that any time allegations of misconduct are brought against a student, the college will normally pursue to conclusion any necessary investigation and hearing process, notwithstanding the decision by the accused to withdraw, temporarily or permanently, from the College.
A student complainant or the Associate Dean of Students may propose mediation as a means to resolve some disciplinary cases. Mediation is possible, with the approval of the Associate Dean of Students, when all parties involved (accuser and accused) voluntarily agree to engage in the mediation process and when students involved have not previously engaged in mediation through this process. If mediation fails, the case will be remanded to an administrative or Judicial Board hearing. Information gathered through the mediation process may not be submitted as evidence in an Administrative or Judicial Board Hearing.
The Associate Dean of Students will keep records of all cases that have been mediated, with names and a summary. Mediation yields neither a disciplinary record nor sanction. A repeat offense of a similar nature will be remanded to an administrative or Judicial Board Hearing.
Violations of standards of conduct and of College regulations are considered to be infractions against Hamilton College. Following receipt of a written complaint, the Associate Dean of Students or a designee will conduct a preliminary review to determine whether the complaint has merit and whether the alleged misconduct might result in suspension or expulsion from the College. Students not subject to suspension or expulsion may be entitled to an administrative hearing, at the discretion of the Associate Dean of Students in consultation with the Judicial Board Chair.
Students subject to suspension or expulsion are entitled to a hearing before the Judicial Board. They may waive that right under the conditions described below.
The Associate Dean of Students may decide to resolve through an administrative hearing cases involving students accused of offenses that normally result in penalties less than suspension or expulsion. A designee of the Dean of Students and a student member of the Judicial Board will normally jointly conduct administrative hearings. Administrative hearing decisions are final.
The following procedural protections are provided to accused students in administrative hearings:
A brief account of the cases resolved through administrative hearings shall be made public. The names of students involved shall not appear.
A student charged with a violation that would normally result in suspension or expulsion may choose to have the case resolved through an administrative process if the following conditions are met:
The Judicial Board shall be composed of 15 members: 10 students, including a non-voting student Chair; three faculty members; and two administrators or staff members. The students; three seniors, three juniors and three sophomores shall serve for a one-year term with a two-term limit. The student members will be selected during the spring semester of the preceding academic year by the outgoing Board. The Board will publish notice of the selection process to all students. The Current Board will select, by a majority vote, the student members from among the names of interested and qualified persons responding to the notice. Once new members have been chosen, the Student Assembly shall offer the student body the opportunity to offer their input regarding the appointments, before holding a vote to confirm the new appointments. The Board will not consider platforms from students on disciplinary probation at the time of selection. A sitting member of the Board who is found responsible for violating College policy and assigned six or more points will be dismissed from the Board.
The faculty at its May meeting shall elect faculty members, one each year for staggered three-year terms, from a slate nominated by the Committee on Student Activities. At least two candidates will normally be nominated for each vacancy. In accordance with faculty rules, candidates may be nominated from the floor. Administrative and staff members shall be nominated by the Committee on Student Activities and appointed by the Dean of Students for staggered two year terms.
A non-voting student Chair shall be elected in the spring by the outgoing board from among candidates nominated by the Board. The Chair must have a minimum of one full academic year experience on the Board. A student may serve as chair in his/her third term on the Board. If the Chair resigns or cannot serve for any reason, the Board will elect a Chair from among its members. The Board may select a substitute Chair for a given case where there is a conflict of interest with the Chair, or if the Chair is otherwise unable to serve.
If any vacancy on the Board occurs during the academic year, the Board shall publish notice of the vacancy in two all-campus e-mail messages and one issue of the Spectator and shall elect by a majority vote a substitute Board member from among the names of interested and qualified persons responding to the notice. Only members of the group represented by the vacated position shall be eligible for election.
Hearings shall be conducted by a panel of five members of the Board: three students and two non-student members, plus the Chair. The members for a given hearing shall be appointed by the Associate Dean of Students and/or the Chair based upon a pattern of rotation established by the Board.
If a member of the Board believes that he or she has a conflict of interest in a particular case, that member may seek to disqualify himself or herself after consultation with the Chair. The accused may request that the Chair seek disqualification of any member of the Board if the accused believes that a conflict of interest exists with that member. The accused must present to the Chair written explanation as to the nature of the alleged conflict of interest. If the Chair believes that a conflict exists, the member will be disqualified upon majority vote of the Board.
Members of the Judicial Board who are charged with a violation of this Code or with a criminal offense may be suspended from their positions by the Associate Dean of Students during the pendency of the charges against them. Members found responsible for any such violation may be disqualified from any further participation on the Judicial Board.
The Dean of Students may establish an ad hoc hearing board whenever the regular Judicial Board is not constituted, is unable to assemble a five person hearing board due to conflict of interest, or is otherwise unable to hear a case. An ad hoc hearing board shall be composed of five members, including at least three students.
If it is determined that the case warrants a Judicial Board hearing, the Associate Dean of Students shall prepare a formal statement of the charges and of the evidence against the accused. The Associate Dean of Students shall inform the accused, in writing and orally, of the charges, evidence and the student's rights provided in the judicial process.
Once a complaint has been filed, a request by a student respondent to withdraw temporarily or permanently from the College will not be approved until the hearing processes have concluded.
Judicial Board hearings shall be de novo, without regard to any matter previously developed in informal proceedings, and no decision about responsibility in a case shall be made on evidence other than that presented at the hearing.
The Chair shall schedule a hearing to be held as soon as possible, but no sooner than three weekdays following delivery of the written charge to the accused. The accused shall present to the Associate Dean of Students a written, point-by-point response to the charges at least 24 hours before the hearing. The student's advisor and all witnesses to be brought to testify should be identified in this statement.
Normally, the Director of Campus Safety, or another College employee designated by the Associate Dean of Students, will act as complainant and bear primary responsibility for presenting the case against the accused. This does not preclude the right of the person lodging the complaint to act as sole complainant or co-complainant with the College.
Hearings are closed to observers. Neither party may have an attorney present at the hearing.
Hearings shall proceed in the following order:
The panel may assign any of the following sanctions in addition to points:
A student subject to disciplinary action may appeal to the Appeals Board a disciplinary decision within one week of being informed in writing of that decision. See procedures on page 21.
The record of the proceeding shall consist of the written statement of the charge, the written response to the charges by the accused, the summary of the Board's actions, any documentary evidence and the tapes or other record of the hearing. The written record shall be kept in the student's file and in the files of the Dean of Students. The taped record is not a part of the student's file and shall be kept in the office of the Dean of Students, to be destroyed after adjudication or decision in any appeal. In addition, suspension and expulsion are noted on the student's academic transcript.
In pending cases that could result in suspension or expulsion, the Dean of Students will normally place a temporary encumbrance on a student's transcript.
After the week has elapsed during which an appeal may be made, a brief account of the case shall be made public. The name of the student or students shall not appear. If an appeal is made, publication shall be postponed to await the outcome of the appeal.
The Judicial Board shall make provisions for educating students about the judicial process at Hamilton College.
The Judicial Board, Associate Dean of Students, and/or Dean of Students may propose changes in these procedures to the Committee on Student Activities, which will seek final approval from the President.
Consistent with the terms of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, the College will normally notify parents or guardians of dependent students about any pending disciplinary charge that may result in suspension or expulsion. In all cases where the penalty is four or more points, the Associate Dean of Students shall notify the parents or guardian within one week of the decision.
All members of the Hamilton community are expected to be truthful in presenting testimony during any disciplinary inquiry and to cooperate fully in the investigation of infractions. The Chair shall remind participants in disciplinary hearings of this expectation, but failure to admonish does not remove the requirement. Perjury or obstruction of any inquiry shall itself be grounds for disciplinary action.

John Dudley: Bills, not Browns or Steelers, could be a fit for Eagles-style offense
For weeks leading up to Monday's NFC East meeting between the Eagles and Redskins, we mostly heard about how Washington quarterback Robert Griffin III would look coming off knee surgery and after sitting out the preseason.
Ever since, we've mostly heard about Chip Kelly, Michael Vick and the Eagles' warp-speed no-huddle offense.
That's what happens when you trump one of the most anticipated sophomore-season debuts in NFL history. RGIII, please step aside and make way for CK2K13. OK, so that's way too clumsy.
But what wasn't clumsy was the way the Eagles moved the ball in the first half against a Redskins team generally considered a solid favorite against an offense widely believed to be too gimmicky to work beyond the college level.
Now we're hearing numbers like 23 seconds -- the average time between snaps by the Eagles in the first half, when they ran 55 plays -- and 1.7 seconds -- the average time it took the normally indecisive Vick to release passes on Philly's opening drive.
It seemed like everyone had something to say about Kelly Ball, from the doubters who believe the Eagles will wilt from the tempo or get Vick maimed, to others, like Giants defensive end Justin Tuck, who reasoned, "It's just one game, but they looked damned impressive doing it."
The question is, how impressive? Impressive enough, in a copycat league, to encourage other teams to implement similar systems?
That remains to be seen, but in the meantime we can have a little fun with the hypotheticals.
Keeping in mind that no one installs a new offense in Week 3, we shouldn't expect a rush of teams revamping their rosters to mimic what Kelly and the Eagles are doing. But if the offense proves to have legs beyond a few games, other teams are sure to try to follow Philly's lead.
For argument's sake, here's one man's take on whether the Bills, Browns or Steelers would be wise to incorporate elements of Kelly's offense given their current roster compositions.
- Bills: First-year Bills coach Doug Marrone ran the read-option, a base play in Kelly's offense, at Syracuse, so he's familiar with the concepts the Eagles used.
Kelly provides his quarterbacks with at least one and sometime two other options on a particular play, often a bubble screen or a seam route, all based on pre-snap and post-snap reads of how defenders are reacting.
EJ Manuel has the speed and arm strength for the read-option game and has even better size than Vick, which would suggest he could hold up against the pounding. Running back C.J. Spiller and receivers Stevie Johnson and Robert Woods are suited for the offense because of their ability to win one-on-one matchups with defenders in space, and mammoth tight end Scott Chandler could be an enticing target matched against a linebacker or safety on seam routes.
Of the three area NFL teams, the Bills' personnel most closely suits an offense like the Eagles' if Marrone and general manager Doug Whaley bought into it.
Kelly Ball likelihood, on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being most likely: 7/10.
- Browns: The Browns' roster seems to lack the necessary pieces to run a Kelly-type offense: a super-fast slashing runner, speed-merchant receivers and a quarterback who can adequately run the read-option.
Brandon Weeden is one of the league's more stationary quarterbacks, so any move by the Browns to a system asking the quarterback to carry the ball would require a different quarterback. Trent Richardson came from a pro-style offense at Alabama but could make the adjustment, since the read-option often has the back finding seams between the tackles, and because Richardson, who caught 51 passes as a rookie, is an adequate receiver.
The Browns' group of receivers is average at best and lacking the type of outside talent required to gain initial separation for the quick reads required in Kelly's offense. Josh Gordon is a specimen, but he's not the same type of receiver as DeSean Jackson. Neither are Davone Bess or Greg Little, although they're closer. Speedy utility back Dion Lewis, on the other hand, has a skill set ideally suited to an up-tempo, spread-the-field offense. Unfortunately, Lewis is on injured reserve.
Kelly Ball likelihood: 5/10, but they would need another quarterback.
- Steelers: Let's get one thing clear -- Ben Roethlisberger loves the no-huddle. Always has. But that's in part because Roethlisberger enjoys control over play-calling, not because he has any real experience in an up-tempo system like Kelly's.
Roethlisberger is reasonably mobile, but he's not an elusive runner who would flourish in the read-option because he's generally on the move trying to extend a play, not pick up yardage.
The Steelers are so thin at receiver right now -- and even thinner at running back -- it's tough to imagine they would have the weapons to effectively spread the field, although the idea of running read-option with a bruising back like rookie Le'Veon Bell.
Mike Tomlin is on record as calling the read-option "the flavor of the month," and it's difficult to imagine him or offensive coordinator Todd Haley checking their egos and installing a system like the Eagles run.
Kelly Ball likelihood: 2/10.

They won't talk: More ??? on Six Flags Over Texas
Six Flags Over Texas spokeswoman Sharon Parker announced Saturday's restart of the Texas Giant roller coaster with this written statement:
"On Friday, the ride was thoroughly inspected by Six Flags engineers and an inspector from the Texas Department of Insurance and has been cleared to reopen."
The insurance department begged to differ with part of that statement.
"We did not do any inspections," department spokesman Jerry Hagins said today. "We do not have any inspectors."
Regular readers of this blog already knew as much from Thursday's post about the wooden coaster's safety woes. It was shut down most of last week for reasons Parker initially would not explain. Later she said that hot, dry weather had caused track misalignment.
Hagins said recent news coverage did lead the insurance department to ask Six Flags to have the ride checked. In Texas, amusement parks' insurers hire the inspectors who certify — usually once a year — that rides are safe.
So I went back to the Six Flags spokeswoman for clarification. Her reply: "The Texas Department of Insurance gives final approval for the ride once a third party inspection is completed and passed."
To which Hagins clarified further: "We don't give final approval for a ride." The state merely issues a sticker after getting a signed statement from the insurer's inspector.
Earlier in the day, I asked the Six Flags spokeswoman what was done to get the Texas Giant ready to roll again. This was the reply: "We have no further comment."

Although he's never owned a Rolls-Royce himself, former local resident Bill Wolf has spent many years writing about and photographing the classic car.
He said his love affair began when he started driving the car while working at an imported car dealership in New Jersey. In the late 1980s, when he first became interested in the car, a new Rolls-Royce sold for about $140,000. Today, the cost is closer to $400,000 - but it's worth every penny because the cars often feature beautiful leather and wood, Wolf said.
"These cars have a very special history,'' said Wolf, who now lives in Union, N.J., about 40 minutes from New York City. "A tradition that goes back to the early 20th century. They were always made for the elite, and they were always expensive.''

Bill Wolf, a former Hollidaysburg resident and expert on Rolls-Royces, poses at the Rolls-Royce Works in Goodwood, England, in April 2008. He's standing beside a Long-Wheel Base Phantom.
Part of that tradition, Wolf said, is until the end of World War II, the Rolls-Royce company made only the chassis or undercarriage while the owner had to have the upper part or body made and then installed on the chassis.
Rolls-Royce had agreements with "coachbuilders,'' who would fit the body to the chassis so that people could buy a Rolls-Royce already made, Wolf said.
But some more discriminating owners wanted custom-made bodies and would then have the coachbuilder fit a certain Rolls-Royce chassis to their custom-designed bodies. That's why many of the Rolls-Royce cars are unique in their appearance, Wolf said.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Blair County Antique Auto Club's Cruise-Ins, featuring dozens of classic cars including a Rolls-Royce.
When: Weekly, every Sunday, starting in late March when the weather starts to warm up until October.
Where: Behind Friendly's Restaurant, 200 Sierra North Dr., Altoona, from 4 to 8 p.m.
Cost: Admission is free, anyone with a classic car is welcome to bring the car to show; public also invited.
For more information: visit the club's website at www.bcaac.org. New club members are also welcome.
The practice disappeared in 1966 when coachbuilding ended for both Rolls-Royce cars and also another classic car, the Bentley, which Wolf also writes about for various publications.
"Because of this, part of the enjoyment of the hobby is becoming familiar with the art of the various coachbuilders,'' Wolf said.
Because the cars were so well built, an amazing number still survive today, Wolf said. Of the 134,601 Rolls-Royce and Bentleys built between 1905 and 2002, 105,044 still exist, he said.
About 10 years ago, Wolf started writing about the classic cars for such publications as "The Flying Lady,'' a newsletter for Rolls-Royce and Bentley car owners. He later became editor of "The Atlantic Lady,'' a regional edition of the newsletter, which covers the mid-Atlantic section of the United States.
He has won honors for his work, such as the Rolls-Royce Owners Club's (of which he is a member) MacFarlane award for best regional publication in 2009. He's also branched out in his writing. In August, his first fiction work, a novel set in Altoona called "Dora Dutch,'' will be available through Amazon.com.
Wolf wasn't born here, but moved to Hollidaysburg from Pittsburgh when he was in ninth grade with his family, including his sister, Lucy, who works at the
Blair County Courthouse as the law librarian.
After graduation, Wolf worked as a VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) volunteer, which is where he met his wife, Doris, and moved back to Altoona, where they lived for about 10 years. He earned a degree from Penn State Altoona and he worked as a teacher for most of his working life before he retired and started writing about classic cars.
One man who has met Wolf, and has himself spent many years writing about the legendary cars, said the former Hollidaysburg resident has done his adopted hometown proud.
"His essays are always correct, painstakingly researched, highly readable,'' said Malcolm Bobbitt, who lives in England and has written several books on the cars.
"He is also highly regarded in automotive circles, particularly Rolls-Royce and Bentley.''
Bobbitt, who has written 35 books and several magazine articles on Rolls-Royces and Bentleys, said some of Wolf's photos have appeared in his books. He said he has also often asked Wolf for advice when he's writing his books.
"I have to say that Bill has always been a constant source of help,'' Bobbitt said.
Closer to home, another Rolls-Royce fan said he started appreciating the classic cars when he bought one that once was owned by a local entrepreneur who struck it rich making life easier for guitarists.
Sam Bonasso of Altoona bought a 1974 Silver Shadow Rolls-Royce that he saw one day while he was driving down the street. It turns out the car was once owned by inventor Sam Sottile of Patton, who patented and sold scratch-free guitar straps to world-famous guitarists, Bonasso said.
"I saw it and I fell in love with it,'' he said.
Bonasso bought Sottile's Rolls-Royce in 2000 for an amount Bonasso declined to say, but he said he spent about $3,000 to restore it. The car had been outside for awhile and the paint needed major work. The car has very low mileage on it, however, only about 50,000 miles, which is not much more than it had when he got it.
One of his favorite things to do is drive friends on specials occasions, such as to proms or out to dinner on anniversaries, Bonasso said. Gas mileage is only about eight miles to the gallon, but that's not a priority with a Rolls-Royce, he said.
"This is not a car you want to drive every day,'' he said.
Rolls-Royces will retain their value if properly maintained because owners like him usually don't put a lot of miles on them and keep them in pristine condition, Bonasso said.
"It's the uniqueness of it that attracts me,'' he said. "It's just an amazing car.''

Oerlikon is a quarter of the city of Zurich. With Affoltern and Seebach, Oerlikon forms the Zurich district 11. Like Züri-West, Oerlikon in the north of the city used to be an industrial quarter. Today, both quarters are among the fastest-growing quarters in the city of Zurich. The west and north of the city are currently the most prospering quarters of Zurich. New high-rises and freshly built parks are witnesses to this continuing development. The University of Zurich was founded in 1833 and is with over 26,000 students the largest of the ten Swiss universities. As a comprehensive university, it houses all the traditional faculties. It has about 7,770 employees and over 150 schools, departments and clinics.swissview.com

Betaseed, Inc. Selects broadhead as Brand Agency
Minneapolis Full-Service Firm to Help Grow Fresh, Distinct Brand Identities for Sugarbeet Seed Company
Betaseed, Inc., the nation's leader in sugarbeet seed research and production, has selected Minneapolis-based full-service marketing communications agency broadhead to cultivate stronger, more distinct identities for the organization's brands.
broadhead, whose client work covers agribusiness, energy, food, government, health and safety, is one of the country's leading influencers in the markets that connect rural and urban interests. The relationship will begin immediately with the creation of a long-term strategy to underpin Betaseed's market-leader position, while more clearly defining its portfolio brands and businesses for growers and the industry.
"Working with homegrown brands is absolutely what we do best," says Dean Broadhead, CEO | president, broadhead. "We've spent a long time learning the needs of agricultural markets, how their businesses operate as well as the mind-sets and preferences of growers and producers in those areas. We're going to bring all of that to bear helping these hugely successful brands stand out while working side by side."
"We are extremely excited to be working with broadhead to help strengthen and differentiate our brands," says Lisa Butzer, corporate communications manager, Betaseed, Inc. "There's no other agency that understands both the production and marketing of crops as well as broadhead does. We're thrilled to be working together and can't wait to get started."

Single and Double Quotes
String literals can be enclosed in either two single or two double quotes. The reason for this is so you can use one type inside the other to print out the inner quote. Even though you could use an escape sequence to do the same, this option is still available.
- Code: Select all
concatenate = the act of putting two objects end to end
You can concatenate adjacent string literals. You can put a "+" between them, or wrap them in parenthesis allowing to span multiple lines.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = "hello" 'there' "what"
>>> s
Triple Quotes
A multiline text data that can be of as many lines as you need. It can be either double quotes """ """ or single quotes ''' '''. Single or double quotes inside the triple quote do not have to be escaped, but can be. It is useful for error messages. HTML code as strings, documentation, disable partial code temporarily.
- Code: Select all
>>> triple = '''This is
... some gibberish that
... I have came up with.'''
>>> triple
'This is\nsome gibberish that\nI have came up with.'
Escape Sequences
Back slashes are used to allow special byte codes: Escape Sequences.The backslash "\" and the following character(s) are replaced by a single character which has a binary value specified by the character(s).
- Code: Select all
>>> s = '1\n2\t3\n\\'
>>> s
>>> print(s)
2 3
>>> len(s)
This string gives this result because of the escape sequences in it. The 2 is on a newline because of \n, the 3 is tabbed because of the \t, and the backslash also on a newline and is shown because we escaped the backslash itself with \\. The built-in function len() returns the length of the string which is showing 7 and not 11 because escape sequences are one character and thus is showing 7 bytes.
Raw Strings
An r preceding the string will make it a raw string. This will ignore the escape sequences inside the string. Otherwise the code below would have a \n and a \t in it.
- Code: Select all
filer = open(r'C:\new\text.txt','w')
Indexing and slicing
One of the most used features of Python is indexing and slicing. These are the acts of accessing the characters in the string by position, assuming you are doing it to a string. This can also be done to a list of elements.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'index'
>>> s
>>> s[0]
>>> s[-1]
The first index s[0] gets the item at offset 0 from the left, while s[-1] gets the item from offset 1 from the end.
Slicing returns an entire section instead of one single item.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'slice'
>>> s
>>> s[1:]
>>> s[1:3]
>>> s[:-1]
>>> s[::-1]
You could think of it like this: s[START:END]. Give me the string omitting before and up to, not including START index ... and omit END and after it. If no START, then give me all the way from beginning, if no END give me all the way to the end. Slicing will get easier the more you use it.
Not as if you are already confused, but there is also a third index in the slice s[START:END:STEP]. This STEP index will allow you to get the sliced string by skipping STEP. For example, a step of 2 will give you every other index based on your values of START and END.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
>>> s
>>> s[2:20:2]
This slice is saying we want index 2 through 19 at intervals of 2.
In the same token we can use this to reverse the order of the string.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = '123456789'
>>> s
>>> s[::-1]
String Conversion
str(), int(), and repr()
- Code: Select all
>>> '1' + 1
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: Can't convert 'int' object to str implicitly
Were you expecting 2? Were you expecting '2'? Were you expecting '11'? Python doesn't know which one you want...a string...or an integer. To bypass, you need to either convert the '1' to an int 1, or convert the int 1 to a string '1'. Converting both to strings, however will get you the string '11' Converting both to integers will get you 2. The built in functions str() will convert to a string and the int() will convert to an integer.
- Code: Select all
>>> int('1') + 1
>>> str(1) + '1'
The built in function repr() will convert to as-code string.
- Code: Select all
>>> print((str('stringer'), repr('stringer')))
('stringer', "'stringer'")
Character Code Conversions
ord() and chr()
Every character on a computer has an ASCII integer code. The built in functions ord() will convert the single character to its ASCII integer, while chr() will do the opposite and convert the ASCII integer to it's single character.
- Code: Select all
>>> ord('a')
>>> chr(97)
So If you want to progress to the next character via ASCII...
- Code: Select all
>>> a = 'a'
>>> num = ord(a) + 1
>>> chr(num)
String Changing
Because strings are an immutable sequence we cannot change the index of a string by reassigning a new index, like so:
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'stringer'
>>> s[0] = 'S'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'str' object does not support item assignment
To do this we can use a slice to change and reassign it back to the same variable.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'stringer'
>>> s = 'S' + s[1:]
>>> s
String Methods
As it sounds like, the string replace method will replace one character or a set of characters with another.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'light'
>>> s.replace('l','f')
>>> s.replace('l','br')
>>> s
>>> s = s.replace('li','bou')
The above code shows how to replace a character or many characters. However the replace method does not change the original variable until it is reassigned back to the variable.
There are at times when you would want to replace x amount of the next encounters, not all.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'XXyyXXyyxxYYxxYY'
>>> s
>>> s.replace('xx','oo')
>>> s
>>> s.replace('xx','oo', 1)
>>> s.replace('x','o', 3)
The string method find(), will return the index of what is searched for. So the character 'd' is index 7 of the string.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'somerandomstring'
>>> indexer = s.find('d')
>>> indexer
>>> s[:indexer]
>>> s[indexer:]
If however what is searched for is not found. -1 is returned.
- Code: Select all
>>> s.find('X')
So if you try to use it in a slice without testing if it failed or not, you will be essentially inserting -1 in place of where the str.find() method goes.
- Code: Select all
>>> s[:s.find('X')]
str.capitalize(), str.title(), str.lower(), str.upper(), str.swapcase()
All of these methods effect the outcome of the capitalization of words inside of a string. The method capitalize() will capitalize the first character of the first word. The method title() will capitalize every first character of every word in the string. The method lower() will make all characters lowercase in the string. The method upper() will make all characters uppercase in the string. The method swapcase() will swap uppercase characters for lowercase characters and vice versa in the string.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'the great beyond of the stars'
>>> s.capitalize()
'The great beyond of the stars'
>>> s.title()
'The Great Beyond Of The Stars'
>>> s2 = s.title()
>>> s2
'The Great Beyond Of The Stars'
>>> s2.swapcase()
'tHE gREAT bEYOND oF tHE sTARS'
>>> s.upper()
The method split() will chop the string into substrings into a list.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'Another random string created.'
>>> s
'Another random string created.'
>>> s.split()
['Another', 'random', 'string', 'created.']
At which point you can splice and index the list.
- Code: Select all
>>> s.split()[0]
>>> s.split()[1:]
['random', 'string', 'created.']
>>> s.split('random')
['Another ', ' string created.']
You can also split by specific characters, which be default is whitepace. Here we split the string by commas instead.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'one,word,123'
>>> s.split()
>>> s.split(',')
['one', 'word', '123']
The method join() will join, for example, a list of all the indexes together into a string based on what you join them with.
- Code: Select all
>>> s = ['Another', 'random', 'string', 'created.']
>>> s
['Another', 'random', 'string', 'created.']
>>> ''.join(s)
>>> ' '.join(s)
'Another random string created.'
>>> 'XX'.join(s)
There are numerous string methods available. Check >>>help(str) to view them in the python interpreter. There is also a very common str method that I gave its own section for due to it's complexity: the str.format(). This section can be found in string expressions and formatting.
Format Expression and Format Method
There are two ways to format strings. The first is the Expression (which it's character is known for as %) and the second is the newer technique: the format method str.format().
Format Expressions
The % operator when applied to strings provides a way to format a string according to it's format definition. The way it is applied is like so:
- Code: Select all
>>> s = 'There are %i %s to format a string' % (2, 'ways')
>>> s
'There are 2 ways to format a string'
When you plug in more than two values into the string they need to be within parenthesis. The %i gets replaced by the integer 2 and the %s gets replaced by string 'ways'. If you do not input the correct definition for the corresponding value you will get an error. The below code shows an example of attempting to input two integers where one of them is a string.
- Code: Select all
>>> 'There are %i %i to format a string' % (2, 'ways')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: %i format: a number is required, not str
Format Method
Unlike the format expressions, you can use the format method to plug in any data to a string without specifying it's definition.
- Code: Select all
>>> 'some data: {} {} {}'.format(1.4, 5, 'stringer')
'some data: 1.4 5 stringer'
As you can see. The type of data it is, does not matter. Here, the {} indicate the definition of whatever is in the order of the format()'s arguments. By default empty curly brackets {} plug format()'s arguments into the string at their position they are in format(). You can also change this order of postion.
- Code: Select all
>>> 'some data: {2} {1} {0}'.format(1.4, 5, 'stringer')
'some data: stringer 5 1.4'
You can also plug the values in by keyword.
- Code: Select all
>>> temp = '{header} {body}, and good{footer}'
>>> temp.format(header='hello', body='Metul Burr', footer='bye metulburr')
'hello Metul Burr, and goodbye metulburr'
Or you can do them both by position and keyword.
- Code: Select all
site = '{w3}{0}{tld}'
>>> site.format('metulburr',w3='www.',tld='.com')
Specific Formatiing
Yes. It can get more complicated. The format for {} inside a string is: {fieldname!convertionflag:formatspec}
- Fieldname is a number or keyword naming an argument, followed by optional ".name" attribute or "[index]" component references.
- Conversionflag can be r, s, or a to call repr, str, or ascii built in functions on the value.
- Formatspec specifies how the value should be presented (width, alignment, padding, decimal precision, etc.)
- Code: Select all
>>> num = 3.141592653589793
>>> '{:.2f}'.format(num)
>>> '{:.3f}'.format(num)
>>> '{:010.3f}'.format(num)
>>> '{:10.2f}'.format(num)
' 3.14'
>>> '{:30}'.format(num)
' 3.141592653589793'
>>> '{:<30}'.format(num)
'3.141592653589793 '
>>> '{:,}'.format(123456789)
>>> '{0:b}'.format(255)
