Dear Karen,
Dodonaeus (1618) - I have photographs of the book and the relevant pages on taro made when a bookseller in Japan showed me an original copy.
If nothing has been translated, perhaps we could work together to publish a translation of the text related to taro?
Best regards, Peter (please contact me c/o researchcooperative at gmail dot com).
Dear Karin,
How appropriate that you joined this network today! My own efforts in research and writing and editing, and the efforts of many others, have led to the publication TODAY of:
M. Spriggs, D. Addison and P. J. Matthews (2012) Irrigated Taro (Colocasia esculenta) in the Indo-Pacific: Biological, Social and Historical Perspectives (Senri Ethnological Studies 78). Osaka: National Museum of Ethnology. 363 pp., with index.
We have one chapter that focuses specifically on the food uses of wild taro in the Philippines. Xanthosoma sagittifolium is mentioned in two or three chapters. The print run will be distributed free, and we expect to release an online PDF edition eventually, after permission is obtained from our contributors.
Thanks for joining!

The journey to America
By Taylor Enyeart Over 4,000 miles separate the country of Brazil and the city of St. Joseph, Mo., but that didn't stop a group of eight students from pursuing an American education at Missouri Western. These eight students didn't know each other before they began their journey together, but have traveled north and have gotten to know each other well. They are enrolled in the intensive English program and have excelled quickly in learning our language. Kay Dickerson, instructor for both the English as a second language and the teachers of English to speakers of other languages programs, has worked closely with the students. She is an instructor for one of their four classes in the intensive English program as well. The intensive English program consists of four classes per day: grammar and composition, reading, academic writing and study skills. The students are in class 20 hours per week, along with two hours at the Center for Academic Support with trained tutors spending time with conversation partners. The students arrived on campus over spring break, and unloaded their belongings into their rooms in Griffon Hall. When they arrived, Dickerson and other members of the IEP took the students on different errands and trips around the area to help them get to know their surroundings. For instance, the students went to Wal-Mart to pick up items they were not able to bring on the plane, such as pots, pans and bedding. Because of traveling costs, most of the students only brought one suitcase and bought anything else they needed here. They also took a bus tour around St. Joseph, went bowling and visited Legends in Kansas City, Mo. More recently, the students traveled to see the state capitol in Jefferson City, Mo. As they have traveled around the local area and spent time in the classroom, Barbara Voigt, full-time instructor in the IEP, has gotten to know the students well. "They're wonderful," she said. "They are extremely inquisitive, which is a great trait." Voigt said that the students are curious about things that most Americans don't even think about. For example, the students were very interested in knowing what the columns in front of the state capitol building were made out of. She said that much of this is due to the fact that they are engineering students, and therefore have superior attention to detail. Voigt also said that the students are very intelligent, as some have already completed three years of college in Brazil. "They love laughter. They all have great senses of humor and never miss a chance to crack a joke," she said. The students said that so far, they have really enjoyed their time while at Western. "Everyday we have something to do – playing ping pong, ice cream socials, parties and trips," one of the students, Diego, said. All eight of the students agreed, however, that they miss the food from their home country. "Your food just isn't as good," another student, Lucas, said. Another thing the students were very interested in is our highway system. "It's incredible, really," Lucas said. "The roads are so straight and big." When asked how they felt about Western, the eight said they enjoyed how well students and staff communicated. They also really like the school spirit surrounding the Griffon athletic teams. Upon their arrival to the states, the students were also happy to find that things are cheaper here than in Brazil. The students are in the Brazil Scientific Mobility Program, and are part of a special project in Brazil. Brazil and the Institute of International Education work together with CAPA International Education to send students to the U.S. to train them in the STEM Program, which includes science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Once they complete the IEP, they will be able to continue into junior level undergraduate classes of their major programs. All of these students are interested in various engineering programs. While the students do not have to continue their education at Western, Dickerson is hopeful that they will find homes as Griffons. After they complete their undergraduate degree, they have the option to continue to graduate school and receive their master's degree. After their schooling is complete, they have to return to Brazil and work for the country for two to four years. Brazil is paying for tuition, fees, books, supplies, housing, meals and the students also receive a small monthly stipend. Dickerson said that this program is part of a scholarship that Western received after an application two years ago, and has been working on ever since. The eight that are on campus now will be here for 20-23 weeks. On June 20, Western will be receiving more Brazilian students for a shorter version of the program that these eight are on. Dickerson hopes there will be around 10 more students.

let computeSomething a b d= a#doTheAThing (b#doTheBThing true) (d#doTheDThing "MyString?") let compose g f = function x -> g (f x) let fold_left operator start list = let rec rfold accumulator l = match l with [] -> start | head :: tail -> rfold (operator accumulator head) tail in rfold start list let composeParamList list = fold_left (function f -> function y -> match y with (a,b,d) -> compose (computeSomething a b d) f) (function x -> x) listNow let me see an example of Ruby or whatever. You can't be taking this attitude of Static Typing Is Guilty Until Proven Innocent. A short description of what the code above does would be very useful... -- ct I don't have the slightest idea what the above code is doing (I think it's a little bit confused - why in the world do you need that rfold function?), but here's what I think is a pretty direct translation into Ruby:
def computeSomething(a, b, d) a.doTheAThing(b.doTheBThing(true), d.doTheDThing("MyString?")) end def compose(g, f) lambda { |x| g[f[x]] } end def fold_left(list, start, &operator) if list.empty? start else fold_left(list.rest, operator[start, list.first], &operator) end end def composeParamList(list) fold_left(list, lambda {|x| x}) { |f, y| a, b, d = y; compose(computeSomething(a, b, d), f) } endOf course, in Ruby I wouldn't write the fold_left function that way - it seems a lot simpler to just do it the (gasp!) imperative way:
def fold_left(list, n, &operator) list.each { |x| n = operator[n, x] } n endHave I misunderstood what the OCaml code is doing? -- AdamSpitz The Ocaml code assumes that computeSomething(a,b,c) is returning a function from X to X, then it defines a function over a list of triplets (a,b,c) that returns the function composition of all the functions generated by computeSomething for all the parameters in the list. The inner function rfold in fold_left implementation it's only one of my coding habits, if I can I like to cut down the length of expressions, so the recursion is defined only in terms of 2 parameters instead of three, because operator never changes. I ventured a wild guess and I think I corrected a mispelled code in composeParamList, please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm a little puzzled why you have to treat operators different than functions, but every language has its own curiosities, that's not big deal. But anyways, it looks to me that you haven't gained much with your DynamicTyping in Ruby, isn't it ? The Ocaml code is as concise and as flexible as the Ruby code. More importantly if somebody reads match y with (a,b,d) -> ... gets a clear idea that y has to be a triple, and when he sees the typing from the compiler, he gets a better picture of specifically what kind of triple there need to be in that list, somebody who reads computeSomething(*y) hardly gets a clue, unless he has access to the source code of computeSomething(a,b,d). It looks to me that important design information gets lost in a dynamically typed environment. There's also the aspect that ocaml runs orders of magnitude faster, and a very substantial part of ocaml optimizations are result of its advanced type system. Sigh... :) I don't blame you for trying to correct that code in composeParamList; it's related to one of the Ruby idiosyncrasies that I hate most. Ruby gives you a special syntax for passing a closure into a function, so that you don't have to type the word "lambda" all the time - but if you want to pass more than one closure into a function, you're stuck; you've just gotta type out the word "lambda" and pass it in as an ordinary parameter. I've fixed the *y thing, too. I thought that *y was just as clear (and more direct) than expanding it out to (a, b, d), but if we had meaningful variable names it'd definitely be better your way. :) As for the runtime speed, the Self VM is the DynamicTyping world's poster child for cool optimizations; take a look at some of the papers on the SelfLanguage website if you're interested. We can still do type-based optimizations, even without a type system. ;) -- AdamSpitz
B has a method #doTheBThing bool -> B1 D has a method #doTheAThing string -> D1 A has a method #doTheAThing -> B1 x D1 -> RAgain. basically this is pretty much the same reasoning that a Smalltalk or Ruby programmer has to keep in his head. When you go into deeper abstraction the type equations may become quite complicated for a programmer, even if intuitively he manages it, the details that affect the code are very prone to errors. It is much more comfortable to get those errors reported by the compiler together with what is expected for typing to be reasonable. In the same time, there can be warning bells, not necessarily errors: a function that you write is reported to have a type different than you'd expect. It is likely that you've got a programming error. TypeInference is absolutely essential for TypefulProgramming because otherwise it'd be prohibitive for the programmer to explicitly describe the typing relations. Just the sheer annoyance of writing so many symbols will put everybody off, like the sheer annoyance of writing Java interfaces will put off people when trying to create more powerful abstractions in Java. There are also limits to TypeInference that makes it strictly less expressive than DynamicTyping. There is correct dynamically typed code that you just can't write in Haskell or Ocaml. The most common example is:
objectStore.getClient 143 # return client 143 objectStore.getInvoice 15 # return invoice 15then my method_missing signature looks like:
def method_missing (methodId, objId) # get the metaclass -- Client, Invoice, etc -- for the objectType methodName = methodId.id2name methodName =~ /^get(.*)$/ objectTypeName = $1 objectType = ClassUtil?.getObjectTypeFromString objectTypeName # now get the object get objectType, objId end(methodId is a Ruby-defined object describing the method call, and I'm free to add as many parameters after that that I like.) But if I also want to retrieve a collection of domain objects by querying for a search term, those method calls might look like:
objectStore.getClients "%International%", "name" # return a collection of clients whose "name" fields contain the string # "International"then my method_missing signature needs to handle both cases, in which case the signature might look like:
def method_missing (methodId, objIdOrSearchTerm, fieldName = nil) # if we just want a single object objId = objIdOrSearchTerm # use the old code to search by objId # but if we want a collection searchTerm = objIdOrSearchTerm # write your new code to search using searchTerm and fieldName endThis is messy, in its way, and if I keep cramming stuff into method_missing I'm going to have to look into different ways to deal with it. (I certainly don't want to have parameters called objIdOrSearchTermOrCacheDurationOrSummaryField). But right this minute, it's working fine, and it makes my life quite a bit easier. -- francis
sub with(IDisposable $value, mu &block) PRE { &block.arity == 1 } does { try { block($value); } ensure { $value.Dispose(); } }There. with accepts an IDisposable, and a block with Arity 1 (takes one argument, as specified by the precondition). Example code:
with open("File.txt") -> $file { # do something with filehandle $file. }TypesAreInterfacesNotClasses?.
let f x = if x#test then x#doSomething else x#doSomethingElse;;where this works in dynamically-typed systems if x#test is always true when x#doSomethingElse is undefined... Equivalent code (which can be statically proven not to have a *type* error) be something like:
let f x = if x#test then ( assume (x : {doSomething : () -> ?}) in x#doSomething() else (* Error handling or throw exception. *) ) else ( assume (x : {doSomethingElse : () -> ?}) in x#doSomethingElse() else (* ... *) )Where assume (typedeclaration) is an explicit run-time type check, and ? means "infer this for me, woudja?"

Today, Your Legal Corner discusses maintaining "Senior Independence" throughout the years.
Christmas is almost here and God willing … bestow many gifts to all of us. Yet as we age, the gifts we desire often cannot be obtained from a store or online.
Life, freedom and independence are my wishes for you this Christmas season. Historically, our ancestors braved a new world in search of a better life. This did not mean that their lives were easy but rather careful planning, courage and determination allowed them to remain free and independent.
One of our founders, Thomas Jefferson, who helped write the Declaration of Independence believed in a people's ability to govern themselves, specifically stated, he had an "optimistic faith in the power of reason to regulate our own human affairs."
These desires for life, freedom and independence will remain from the budding adolescent through to the aging senior citizen.
Similar to the Declaration of Independence, to remain free, we need to create our own life plan, fully designed yet flexible enough to stand the test of time. Consider the following to freely live actively, financially and safely independent.
Actively Independent
Numerous studies have concluded as we age, we become more sedentary. This frequently leads to obesity and all the health problems associated with excess weight. So your first choice in your life plan is not if, but how you are going to stay physically active. Some examples are walking, gardening, steps, and parking in the spot farthest from the grocery store.
If your physical condition requires a more stationary approach, how about a stationary bike or treadmill? The important part is to choose something and get out and do it on a regular basis. In addition to physical activity, it is just as important to stimulate the mind.
Mentally we can challenge ourselves through puzzles, games and books. Another strong form of stimulation comes from being socially connected, talking with people, feeling a sense of belonging and importance. Social stimulation can be found at senior centers. Having friends your own age who can relate to similar experiences and provide information are a great resource.
Quite often, I hear from clients: I have my family, I am really not that interested in meeting new people or joining that type of organization. I strongly urge you to resist not participating. Sure, joining a senior center is difficult, especially if you have recently lost a loved one. Yet, to remain actively independent takes courage and perseverance. So take a stroll, read a newspaper, then have a tasty lunch at your local senior center and you will be on your way to remaining independent.
Financially Independent
There are numerous financial planners to help with wealth management. The key is to be realistic as to where you will be financially when you reach retirement age. It is somewhat difficult to predict because we cannot control the markets nor the economy and do not know what senior programs will be available when we decide to retire. Everything is cautiously based on benefits which are presently available while the future is not clear. Still, review the following as a guide.
Assess your financial situation. Take advantage of all senior programs and income based programs which are available to you presently. Lastly, live within your means.
Safely Independent
According to AARP, most of us would like to remain in our own home as we age. In order to do that, some changes are needed. First, remove clutter, repair worn rugs, and install handrails where needed.
Install a security system, purchase a cell phone and wear an alert bracelet. If you fall and are not able to contact one for help, you may not only lose your independence but possibly your life.
So this Christmas, as we celebrate the birth of Christ, let us be thankful for the gifts not under the tree … family, friends and the ability to remain actively, financially and safely independent through Elder Law planning with an Elder Law Attorney!!
Kindly note, Your Legal Corner is meant solely as a guide to point you in the right direction. It should not be construed as legal advice. Contact your Attorney if you require legal counsel.
Next week YLC discusses: Basic Estate Administration. Should you have additional questions contact Victoria M. Dalton, Esquire, Of Counsel, Hoffman DiMuzio Law Firm, 35 Hunter Street, Woodbury, N.J. 08096; by email at email@example.com, or phone 856-686-3516 or 856-863-8776.

really doesn't undersand what I am doing wrong. I am still putting on pounds even with the workouts from p90x. Even if the calories were the same as before how can that be when you begin to workout. I am so frustrated I am ready to quit working out and go back to eating what I want. ughhh I started in Feb. just eating better and making healthy choices and lost almost 32 pounds and now have gained 5 pounds back in just about 14 days.

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews
8" Non Stick Carbon Steel Wok
Reviewed by 3 customers
Comments about 8" Non Stick Carbon Steel Wok:
Overall, I'm content with this wok. I absolutely had some trouble with the seasoning process and removal of lacquer. Removing the lacquer via hot oil and steel wool was pretty time consuming and I couldn't really tell if I had removed all of it. Next, the seasoning process was a little clunky for me. I make no claims of knowing what I'm doing, by any stretch. Right after I seasoned the wok I used it to make a stir fry... with apple cider vinegar. Not smart. All that black stuff (seasoning) came off into my food and the pan had started to develop rust spot. Ugh. No food and having to season it all over again makes for a cranky world market explorer. It seems to be fine now, but it's not pretty. There are drastic variations in the seasoning coloring. Overall, though, it seems to be doing the job. I just need to remember not to use such strong acids while cooking in it!
Comments about 8" Non Stick Carbon Steel Wok:
This little wok is a fantastic work horse. It is small but sturdy and strong. I use it to saute smaller amounts of food or sauce to add to my larger wok or just to prepare small amounts of food. I find that I go to it all the time. You can sear or stir fry quickly. And clean up is easy. Can't say enough good about this wok.

Adrian Gurvitz
Gurvitz, 31, a Londoner who has played with such British bands as Screaming Lord Sutch and the Savages and the Baker Gurvitz Army (with Cream's Ginger Baker), is a new discovery of record mogul David Geffen. Geffen's hit-finding percentage has soared recently with the success of Quarterflash and Asia. And in spite of Gurvitz's penchant for writing such leaden lyrics as "You're one of a kind/Without you I'm blind," he does have a rough voice-of-experience appeal reminiscent of Billy Joel. His songs are also full of melodic and verbal hooks—easy-to-remember phrases that are the stuff of which commercial hits are made. An example is Classic, a (one hopes) tongue-in-cheek tune that includes the lines "Got to write a classic/Got to write it in an attic." Gurvitz produced the album with his brother Paul, and its spare sound, accented by Don Myrick's saxophone, makes a nice contrast to Adrian's rhythmically insistent singing.

Expect your child to become a minor master of the arithmetic skills he or she picked up in first grade. Over the year, first graders focus on understanding number relationships in addition and subtraction, first by using physical objects like rods and blocks and later with pencil and paper. If they haven't already, kids begin making the leap to mental math, gaining the confidence needed to do simple problems in their head.
"Your child should be able to recall her basic addition and subtraction facts from memory by the end of second grade," says Linda Eisinger, the 2005 Missouri Teacher of the Year.

PAMPA - Glenna Vick, 83, died Monday, Oct. 29, 2001, in Amarillo.
Graveside services will be at 11 a.m. Friday in Shamrock Cemetery with Jim Fox, pastor of Hillcrest Baptist Church of Amarillo, officiating. Arrangements are by Carmichael-Whatley Funeral Directors.
Ms. Vick had been a resident of Pampa since 1957. She was a homemaker.
Survivors include three daughters, Joyce Blackmon and Carol Lee Sherwood, both of Amarillo, and Eva Nell Merriman of Nacogdoches; three sons, Nathan L.

A northeast Missouri man facing multiple sex-related felony charges has been denied a bond reduction.
Joel Bremer, 47, of Unionville, Mo., asked for the bond reduction during a court appearance this week. That motion was denied by the judge. Bremer, who is charged with nine sex-related felony counts, remains behind bars under $100,000 dollars cash only bond.
Bremer is charged in connection with alleged incidents that occurred between 1999 and 2007. According to court papers, the victim says the abuse started when she was around 6 years old and continued and escalated until she was about 14.
Bremer's preliminary hearing is set for March 15.

• We reviewed the medical records of 55 patients who underwent a cranial computed tomographic (CT) scan for acute head trauma. The severity of head trauma was classified according to objective clinical findings as severe in 44 patients, moderate in three, and mild in eight. Thirty-seven patients (84%) with severe head trauma had a brain injury identified on CT scan. Six patients with severe head trauma had a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 12 or greater and an abnormal CT scan. All patients with mild or moderate head trauma had normal CT scans. Severe head trauma, as defined in this study, accurately identified all patients with abnormal CT scan findings. We conclude that a classification based on objective clinical findings accurately identifies the severity of head trauma. This is particularly important in evaluating patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale score of 12 or greater. A prospective study including larger numbers of patients is needed to further evaluate such a classification.

Nuts are extremely high in carbs, 1 cup averages 80 carbs.
New to this and I am trying to figure out what to eat.
I have been eatting chicken, greens, blue berries, apples, almonds, eggs and other veggies.
It appears that I am consuming to many carbs.
I have a few pounds to loose so I need to drop the amount of carbs I eat.
Can you give me examples of what you eat each day? (around 50 carbs)
Nuts are extremely high in carbs, 1 cup averages 80 carbs.
Here is a typical low carb day for me:
2 eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, 10 pieces of asparagus, ounce of goat cheese, 1/2 cup pineapple (fresh), coffee with 1/2 T agave and half and half
6 oz chicken breast, a cup of broc
3-4 cups of greens sauted in 2 tbs of fat
2 eggs
That's about 43 grams of carbs/1200 calories
It seems like I can have a daily serving of fruit, 1-2 servings of green veggies at each meal (not sweet potatoes) and stay below 50. I have stopped tracking though.
Veggies (but not root veggies) are lower in carbs than fruits.
I don't eat low carb.

What am I doing? Depends on the day.
If you use a tracking tool like fitday.com, you will be able to see where your carbs come from. Things like apples, potatoes, and that extra 'o' everyone always adds to the word lose are very carb-dense and should be shunned on VLC. My own goal is 50-100 g/day. I've been on the lower end of this range when I eat something like:
3 eggs w/ pepper jack cheese & cayenne sauce
coffee & cream
7oz Greek yogurt
big romaine/spinach salad with uncured bacon, walnuts, feta cheese, avocado, mushrooms, and 1/2 cup EVOO mustard vinaigrette
peppered 16oz grassfed beef steak with butter-sherry glaze
For me that's a 3000 calorie splurge day with 74g carb, of which 28g are fiber. Scale portions down to 2000 cal and you'll be at 50g carb total.
How does that work?raw veggies are typically less carbs than cooked.
Or a bit of both...
Carrots for instance are much more digestible cooked. "According to Carbohydrate Counter, raw carrots have only 11.69 g per cup and cooked carrots have 12.63 g."
And the amount of kale in a cup is greater cooked than raw....
-From Carb-Counter dot net
Kale, cooked, boiled, drained, with salt - 1 cup, chopped - 7.32g
Kale, raw - 1 cup, chopped - 6.51g
That said, it's not a huge difference... a gram or two here and there, but I suppose it could add up. Honestly I wouldn't worry about cooked veg though. There are good reasons to eat cooked... like the ability to actually digest the nutrition out of them since cooking breaks down the cellulose walls that our digestive tracts really don't on their own.
There are better ways to trim carbs... like cutting back on fruit (particular non-berries) and nuts until goals are met.

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

And that's why I'm here eating HFLC Primal/Paleo.
I eat a ton of veggies, never get close to 50g! Some days I'll eat an orange or banana and get close. Add in rice/potatoes and you are over 50 fast!

Re-enactors hold memorial at Strong Vincent's grave
It was 150 years ago that Civil War hero Strong Vincent was laid to rest at the Erie Cemetery.
Today, local historical re-enactors remembered that anniversary with a memorial service at Vincent's grave detailing just why the Erie area should be so proud of Vincent's efforts at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Vincent, a Waterford native, was killed defending a strategically important hill known as Little Round Top.
About 50 people, including a dozen re-enactors, were on hand Saturday as Vincent's passing was marked with gun and cannon fire and a Strong Vincent impersonator detailed Vincent's final stand in July of 1863.
See Sunday's Erie Times-News and GoErie.com for more coverage.

The best hangover remedies, just in time for St. Patrick's Day
St. Patrick's Day has many great traditions.
Fun parades. Good music. Of course, wearing the color green.
And some of us like to enjoy a beer. Or two. Maybe three.
OK, St. Patrick's Day has never been known as a day for moderation when it comes to drinking.
But then comes the aftermath that following morning. The pounding head and upset stomach. The grogginess.
That's right: the hangover. And yours doesn't have Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis nearby.
Hangover cures are so hit-and-miss, and no one can promise anything will work.
I'm no doctor, and I don't play one on TV. But here are some of my favorite remedies.
- Greasy food. Skip the "hair of the dog" adult beverage remedy in the morning and go right to your nearest diner for some eggs, bacon, toast and a few cups of coffee.
Sure, this goes against most medical advice for fighting a hangover. But it tastes really good.
- Drink water. A lot of water. Continue this for, oh, two, three days.
- More water, in the form of a shower. A long, warm shower, followed by some comfy clothes, and your couch, and a blanket, and some good TV, or some bad TV, will do your body good.
- Exercise. I know, the last thing you'll feel like doing is working out. But if you can muster a brisk walk, bicycle ride or run, you'll sweat those toxins out.
- Sleep. Nothing beats a hangover better than some good old fashioned rest. Nap away, friends. Nap away.

By Steven Wine/The Associated Press
MIAMI — Chris Coghlan stares at the pitcher as he steps to the plate, ignoring his season statistics posted in big bright lights on the right-field scoreboard.
The former Ole Miss standout doesn't know his batting average, which is probably just as well.
"I just know it's low," Coghlan said before the start of a nine-game homestand for the Florida Marlins.
The 2009 NL Rookie of the Year entered Monday's game against San Diego batting .154, third-worst in the league among regulars. And that's an improvement — he was at .109 a week ago.
When told he was 5 for 19 (.263) over the past six games, Coghlan was grateful for a morsel of positive news.
"Thank you," he said.
Coghlan began the week with 10 singles in 65 at-bats this season. With no extra-base hits, his slugging percentage (also .154) was the lowest in the majors. He has shown admirable patience fielding questions about his slump but less patience at the plate, with 17 strikeouts and only four walks for an on-base percentage of .203.
Yet he refuses to believe in a sophomore jinx.
"We play so many games and have so many at-bats," Coghlan said. "It's a long season. I don't think I'm in a sophomore jinx. I've just had a rough start. And it's probably going to make me a better player down the road. Any time you have a trial, it makes you stronger."
A slow start is nothing new for the left-handed hitter and left fielder. Coghlan made his major league debut last May 8 and was hitting only .143 (6 for 42) after two weeks.
His average climbed to .245 by the All-Star break, and he batted .372 the rest of the way. He had 113 hits after the break, which tied for the most in the NL in the past 45 years.
Coghlan finished at .321, and only seven major league rookies in the past 50 years had a higher average. He led all rookies in average, runs, hits, total bases, on-base percentage and on-base-plus-slugging percentage.
So the Marlins have good reason to believe he'll get it going.
"There's nobody in this clubhouse that's worried about Chris," second baseman Dan Uggla said. "He'll probably take off and leave everybody once he clicks."
To help Coghlan shake the slump, manager Fredi Gonzalez twice held him out of the lineup on Florida's most recent trip. Gonzalez also dropped him from first to second in the order behind Cameron Maybin, and said he sees signs of a turnaround by Coghlan.
"When you've only had 60 plate appearances, it doesn't take long to get that average back up there," Gonzalez said.
Coghlan said he's more comfortable at the plate than two weeks ago.
"That was pretty bad," he said. "I was missing pitches, I was striking out more, I was swinging at pitches out of the zone. I don't feel like that now. I feel great. I feel normal.
"If they don't fall, everyone wants to say you're still in a slump because you didn't get any hits. But that's not the way I feel."

LEXINGTON, KY (Oct. 3, 2014) – Qatar Racing's Peace and War rallied from far back to overtake Top Decile late to win the 63rd running of the $400,000 Darley Alcibiades (G1) for 2-year-old fillies by a half-length before a Fall Meet opening-day crowd of 13,789.

"I was really pleased that we made the lead as easy as we did. Julien's a great rider here at Keeneland, handled the front end well with this horse. He knows this horse well. We got beat at Belmont with this horse about 3 ½ weeks ago (in the Groovy on September 13, in which he was second), but it probably was a blessing. It was his first start since June. I think it got him ready for this race."

Southern Tier Music Teachers' Association
Southern Tier Music Teachers' Association was formed in 1995 as a tax-deductible charitable organization. It was created to assist the community of private music teachers residing in the Binghamton area, by providing organizational support and a variety of learning and performance opportunities for music students. STMTA activities enhance and augment those musical experiences already available through private studios and school music programs. An annual High School Music Competition has been held for twelve years. STMTA also provides outreach to students with need through Summer Enrichment Scholarships. These scholarships give financial aid for students to attend music camps or take private music lessons during the summer. Any student may participate in the High School Music Competition or apply for a Summer Enrichment Scholarship, regardless of whether he or she studies with an STMTA teacher.
Our goal is to encourage music students and teachers in our area to participate in the musical life of our community. To fulfill this goal we provide a variety of performance and learning opportunities each year. These include: solo and chamber music recitals, a high school music competition, and summer music scholarships.

Lot # 662 (of 1673) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1953 Topps Complete Set (274)
Starting Bid - $2,000.00 , Sold For - $5,875.00
15% Nr/Mt, 52% Ex-Mt, 33% Ex (includes a very few cards slightly lesser). It is rare to find 1953 Topps in such accross-the-board high-grade condition. This set needs only a few upgrades to be a world-class set. This is an extremely high quality complete set of 1953 Topps, one of the most popular and classic of all baseball card sets. Sixteen cards have been graded, all by PSA unless otherwise noted. Keys: #1 Robinson (GAI EX+ 5.5), 10 Burgess SP (Ex-Mt), 27 Campanella (Ex/Ex-Mt), 37 Mathews (70/30 L/R, otherwise Ex), 41 Slaughter (Ex), 43 McDougald SP (Ex-Mt), 54 Feller (PSA EX-MT 6), 61 Wynn SP (Ex), 76 Reese (75/25 L/R, otherwise Ex), 77 Mize (Ex/Ex-Mt), 78 Schoendienst (PSA NM 7), 81 Black SP (Ex), 82 Mantle (encapsulated "Authentic" by SGC due to very slight trim along top border, strong Ex-Mt appearance), 86 Martin SP (30/70 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 87 Lopat SP (70/30 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt), 104 Berra (SGC EX/NM 80), 114 Rizzuto (30/70 L/R, otherwise Ex-Mt), 119 Sain SP (30/70 T/B, otherwise Ex-Mt), 138 Kell (Nr/Mt), 147 Spahn (Ex-Mt), 149 DiMaggio (Vg-Ex/Ex), 151 Wilhelm SP (Ex), 162 Kluszewski SP (PSA EX-MT 6), 191 Kiner (25/75 L/R, otherwise Ex), 207 Ford (Nr/Mt), 220 Paige (GAI EX+ 5.5), 228 Newhouser (SGC EX/NM 80), 244 Mays (PSA EX 5), 246 Face (75/25 L/R, otherwise Ex), 254 Roe (Ex), 258 Gilliam (PSA EX-MT 6), 263 Podres SP (SGC EX 60), 264 Woodling (Ex-Mt), 265 Jensen SP (Ex), 273 Haddix SP (PSA NM 7), and 280 Bolling SP (PSA EX-MT 6). The other PSA-graded cards consist of: #4 (NM 7), 154 (EX-MT 6), 252 (EX-MT 6), and 272 (EX-MT 6). The flush-to-the-bottom-border design of the 1953 Topps set makes this issue particularly susceptible to edge and corner wear, and makes the assembly of high-grade sets all the more difficult. This is an exceptionally attractive mid- to high-grade set, far above average for this issue, with tremendous eye appeal across the board. A high-quality and very carefully assembled complete set of one of card collecting's most popular issues. Total 274 cards. Reserve $2,000. Estimate $4,000/$6,000. SOLD FOR $5,875.00

The most frequent neural complications of the myeloma are those referable to the spinal cord and roots. The almost constant involvement of the spinal vertebrae in this disorder readily explains the neural manifestations. The pressure exerted by the invading neoplasm on the spinal cord or by the diseased vertebrae on the vessels of the spinal cord leads to a myelopathic process, thus interfering with the normal conduction of neural impulses of the various fiber tracts. The occurrence of root pains, herpes zoster or peripheral neuritis is the end-result of direct pressure on the roots of the spinal cord, the spinal ganglions and the peripheral nerves. Although metastases to the bones of the skull are frequent, mental symptoms and other signs of cerebral involvement are rarely observed. Compression of the cerebral structures by the metastases to the skull, apparently, is not sufficient to elicit neurologic symptoms.

Volleyball team builds for next year
Though the Tonganoxie High School volleyball team finished 9-24, the coach and players said that record was no indication of how good the team had become by the end of the year.
After spending this season getting to know their new coach and one another, team members will take the court next season with a good idea of their roles on the team.
Not only that, the team won't lose any players from this year because it has no seniors.
"This year, we got experience out of the way," said first-year Tonganoxie Coach Kelly Alexander. "Now that we've got that experience to build on, I see us being more successful next year."
Much of that success will be built on the leadership of several of this year's juniors.
Three of those juniors were recognized by the Kaw Valley League for their play this year.
Aimee Eisman made first-team All-League. Andrea Korb and Keri Walker made honorable mention.
"It was an accomplishment for me," Eisman said. "It was one of my goals, and I thought I improved all season."
Named to two All-Tournament teams this year, Eisman led the Chieftains in kills with more than 150.
Walker, the team's leading setter with more than 400 assists, said she was a bit surprised by the award.
"I feel great," she said. "It's nice to be recognized. Sometimes setters get overlooked."
Korb, the team's best outside hitter and second best in kills and blocks behind Eisman, said that she thought her team was going in the right direction.
"This year we were very inexperienced," she said. "Next year we're going to be awesome."
Alexander said much of that depends on how well next year's seniors step up.
"Those three juniors were our main floor leaders," she said. "Their leadership as seniors will be crucial to success next year."

The Lady Broncs of Hamilton and the Lady Falcons will both advance to their respective state softball tournaments this Thursday. Hamilton will go into the state A tournament as the No. 1 seed from the Southwest A conference. They drew a first-round bye and will play the winner of the Park County/Laurel game at 6pm on Thursday. That tournament is at Belgrade. Florence will play in Great Falls at the State B/C tournament. They will play at 1:30 pm against the No. 3 team from the east, Huntley Project.
Hamilton coach Jason Goligoski is feeling pretty good about his team and their chances at state even though they don't have a senior on the team. He said that Brie Clifford and Taylor Goligoski both have had quite a bit of experience at national level tournaments. With Clifford pitching and Goligoski at shortstop, Coach Goligoski figures these two will anchor the team and keep the young team from getting overwhelmed at the state tournament.
"We're peaking at the right time, we've won 7 games in a row, we're 9-1in the last 10 games. The girls are starting to buy in and do the little things that it takes to win. If we show up and we play to our ability and our capability, anything could happen," he said.
Coach Goligoski thinks the west has stronger teams than the central and eastern divisions do. He looks at Polson and Frenchtown as the teams to beat but concedes that on any given day, anyone can win.
"We're peaking at the right time, we've won 7 games in a row, we're 9-1in the last 10 games. The girls are starting to buy in and do the little things that it takes to win. If we show up and we play to our ability and our capability, anything could happen,"
Hamilton defeated Corvallis in the final game of the regular season Thursday night, 9-2. Brie Clifford pitched a complete game for the Broncs with Katie Wickham catching. Shay Mohn went 2-for-3 for the Lady Broncs with two doubles. McKayl Rothie, Tayler Reynolds and Grace Zohner all had RBIs for Hamilton.
Corvallis' Gianna Schrock finished her high school career with a double and was 2-for-3 at bat. Corvallis finished their season with only two wins but according to coach Richie Borden; the young team 'grew quite a bit'.

Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2011 Vintage) Our 2011 Smoking loon wine is a hidden gem amongst the Smoking Loon family. Immediately you are invited in with the rich and dark aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and freshly cracked black pepper. Although there is strong fruit character on the nose, it has a bit of a rustic edge with notes of Herbs de Provence and the essence of sandalwood. Medium-bodied and smooth, this Syrah is sure to please the palate with ripe, jammy flavors of marionberry, black cherry and even a touch of milk chocolate dusted with notes of vanilla through its lingering finish.

I have managed to find some excerpts from the original report etc http://zerodisease.com/archive/Dieta...ted_States.pdf
Originally the committee was set up to find a way to feed the masses but over time the remit of the committee changed.
The sad thing is he correctly identified the consumption of sugar as a major problem, and although he called for a reduction in sugar consumption he wanted and increase in grains (more sugar?1!?) and a decrease in fat consumption - if he had just stayed focused on the sugar.

Study Shows Exercise During Pregnancy Can Reduce Your Risk of Pre-eclampsiaKatie Loeb
I think we have all heard at some point along the line that exercise in pregnancy is a good thing. As long as it's safe, not excessively high impact and not putting you at risk for physical danger (you might want to avoid tackle football), it's good for you and for your baby.
If you're like me, you have long planned to be the model of perfect pregnancy. You planned to eat right, you planned to exercise every day and have that radiant glow of gestation. And then you got pregnant while working 45+ hours a week and discovered that the lime sized fetus has sucked every last bit of energy out of your soul.
Reality can be a real jerk sometimes.
It seems like science is trying to reinvigorate my desire to have that perfect pregnancy. A new study was just completed at The University of Oregon to look at the effect of exercise before conception and in early pregnancy. Now, disclaimer, this was a study done on rats, and so obviously the results are not 100% irrefutably applicable, but it's generally considered unethical to do studies on pregnant women.
The subjects were split into two groups, one group was given a wheel to run on for 6 weeks before and then during their pregnancy and the other group was not. They monitored them later in pregnancy to see the effect that the exercise might have had on them.
The results are admittedly a little sciency, so I'm going to try to break them down just incase you're not like me and have wasted used the last 3 years of your life learning medical mumbo jumbo that causes most people's eyes to glaze over with boredom.
The tests they did late in pregnancy showed that the rats who exercised had higher levels of a protein responsible for creating new veins and arteries as well as protecting the ones you already have. The other protein increase they saw was also related to the heart and veins and it keeps your arteries and veins open wide so that blood can flow through them easily.
I can see your eyes glazing over. What you really want to know is why this is important.
And here's why: pregnant women have a significant chance of developing high blood pressure, or pre-eclampsia, while pregnant. Pre-eclampsia is responsible for premature births and if untreated can lead to severe health consequences for mothers and babies alike. These two proteins, in concert, can help your blood flow more easily and potentially help reduce your risk of high blood pressure, protecting both you and your baby.
Sounds good to me.
As if we hadn't already heard enough that exercise was good for you, this study is pretty strong evidence that exercising before and during pregnancy is good for your heart and good for your baby. I guess it's time to do some energy searching, lace up my tennis shoes and try to get back into the swing of exercise. Thanks science, for that kick in the pants.

Player of the Game
Cody Allen pitched the best game of his young career as he threw two innings and only allowed two baserunners. He was even able to get one of those runners out on the bases with a double play as he was the only Indians pitcher to keep the Twins from scoring. His game score of 1.78 gives him an average Player of the Game score of 1.29 for the season, the best of any Indians reliever.
Feathers Up
Options: Chris Seddon, David Huff, Jeanmar Gomez, Corey Kluber and Eric Berger. If Josh Tomlin makes one more start it will be too many.
Travis Hafner broke up Scott Diamond's perfect game with two outs in the fifth with an opposite field single. This should actually be a feathers down as Scott Diamond was throwing a perfect game through 5.2 innings, but I worded it differently. Hafner also had the Indians third hit, an infield single off that hit Diamond.
In this topsy turvy world the Cleveland Indians have the ability to make Scott Diamond look like Justin Verlander and Justin Verlander look like Dustin Diamond.
Indians.com posted a story during the game that says the Indians are one of four teams in the running to pick up Padres third baseman Chase Headley. Usually if a story makes it all the way to the official website it carries a little more weight than if it is posted on a site like this one. Headley would immediately make the Tribe a much better team offensively and could even take over the clean-up spot from Michael Brantley. He is considered one of the top available offensive players in the trade market.
Feathers Down
There are only two players you really have to worry about on the Twins offense and Tomlin let each of them beat him in the first inning. Joe Mauer hit a single and Justin Morneau hit a three run home run. Later in the game he let the rest of the Twins terrible offense beat up on him making it irrelevent what Mauer and Morneau did.
Play of the Game
Jeremy Accardo snagged a line drive off the bat of Jamey Carrol in the 5th inning for an inning ending double play.
Final Score: Cleveland Indians 0 – Minnesota Twins 11
