Yankee Fans React to A.J. Burnett Decision
As announced on Monday, the New York Yankees will go with a four-man rotation for the American League Championship Series against either the Tampa Bay Rays or Texas Rangers. What this most likely means…
CC Sabathia pitches Game One.
Andy Pettitte pitches Game Two.
Phil Hughes pitches Game Three.
And… .:gulp:.
A.J. Burnett pitches Game Four.
Yankee beat reporter Bryan Hoch posted his story to the Yankees' official Facebook page, sparking an overwhelming reaction from the fans. Much like Burnett's hot-and-cold behavior, some of the fans were upset and some backed the lanky right-hander.
Another chapter in the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story that is Burnett. Here are some fans responses to the Yankees' decision of using Burnett in the ALCS:
The Hostile
· "Oh no……Not A.J. We want to win!"–Kibra Phillip
· "Joe better have the bullpen up in the first. He CANNOT allow this idiot to give up seven runs again. This is not the regular season. His excuses are over. There is no such thing as managing for the long haul."–Greg Baron
· "Please…PLEASE don't blow it!"–Dawn Diaz
· "Why are they using Burnett?! Keep him on the bench!"–Fran Rutigliano
· "A.J. is horrible."–David Leary
· "Burnett stinks and does not deserve a spot in the playoffs. What is wrong with a three-man rotation?"–Stuart Knee
· "God help us all."–Brenda Canizares
· "Do not want."–Kelly Adcox.
· "Sit him DOWN!"–Teri Horta
· "Burnett is a waste of $82 million. He chokes!"–Mark Slugocki
· "Don't screw this up, Burnett!"–Brian Trimarchi
· "Well, there's a loss."–Amy Fuda Jahnke
· "That's trouble for the Yankees. A.J. is brutal."–Patrick Auletto
· "Guaranteed Loss."–Dillon Coello
· "LOSER. For a veteran pitcher, he doesn't know how to pitch."–Allan Reid Nissen
· "Don't start him."–Donald Coombs
Obviously many people do not believe in Burnett. However, there are quite a few people who think he can pull it out and pitch as effectively as he did in last year's postseason:
The Faithful
· "Burnett can redeem himself with a great outing, but admittedly, given his weak season, we are left to hope rather than expect an effective start. Still, in your corner A.J.!"–Tim Rake
· "Call it a hunch, but I think A.J. will rise to the occasion in Game Four. He's definitely due."–Jorge Rafael Ruiz
· "If A.J. performs well in the postseason all will be forgotten…"–Mark Consenza
· "Now is the time for A.J. to prove people wrong."–Kyle Henebury
· "In Joe I trust…"–Nicholas Castano
· "Yankees fans at the stadium should do their best to encourage A.J. and give him a boost. His issues may be in his head. Stand up, cheer, and give the guy some support."–Anthony Nuzzi
· "I have a feeling Burnett will do a great job!"–Millie Martin
· A.J. deserves a chance. Let him prove himself."–Dean Butcher
· "He had an awful season that's obvious but we're talking about a guy who throws 95mph with incredible movement and has a knee buckling curve ball. Potential doesn't guarantee wins but when a guy has that kind of talent you can't blame the Yankees for trying to catch lightning in a bottle."–D.J. Braman
· "He has the nastiest stuff. He just needs to go out there and do it!"–Bill Treadway
· "Stay strong A.J."–Brigette Burnett (A little curious about this fan…)
· "I will say, Burnett has not had the best season. But who started Game Two of the World Series last year? Who was the one who beat the Red Sox in the second game of this season? He has potential. He has some of the best stuff in the league, he just needs some work. I guarantee he is working his tail off right now so he can be a stud when he pitches."–Hunter White
· "Show some confidence in the man. It's easier to pitch with confidence if you know you have the fans behind you. If Dave Eiland believes in him, I think the rest of us armchair managers can too, for one game."–Andy Fagerlund
· "I hope he becomes unstoppable and shuts up all the sports commentators…that's what I'm praying for…"–Joe Santiago, Jr.
· "A.J. deserves a shot! We all know he had a rocky season but he still won 10 games and the Yankees' offense wasn't productive during most of his losses. GO YANKEES!"–Frank Berardi
· "Come on, Burnett. You are due for an awesome game."–Mark Daunt
· "Hopefully A.J. finds his rhythm. He is a Yankee for a reason and I hope he shows it come the ALCS."–Zac Gallo
· "I fully support A.J. and have faith that he will perform well. And all you haters should be ashamed of yourselves. If you're a fan of the team, you support the ENTIRE team. That includes management decisions. A.J. is just a reminder to us all that the Yankees aren't perfect and that's just how it is. Get over it!"–Val Scho
As you can easily see by the fans' reactions, there are naysayers and believers; people who cannot stand the Yankees' decision and those who are willing to give Burnett a chance to win back the fans.
Along with all these comments, I have to say, a few Yankee fans made me laugh; their words were quite amusing (albeit ridiculous) in the midst of all the skepticism and belief.
The Funny
· "I'm going to jump off a hill."–Lorenzo Bellone
· "He will be the only pitcher in MLB history to lose a simulated game."–Joe Castellano
· "A.J. needs to find a new line of work."–Eddie Bonnier
· "I'm sure Swisher could make himself available."–Brian Lesko
· "Hopefully he pitches on a weekend so we can all drink. We'll probably need it."–MaryLou DiPalo
· "NO! Kill me now."–Lisa Korman Minnaker
· "Pray for severe rainstorms."–Neil Berkman
· "A.J. will pitch the second no-hitter of this postseason. Just watch."–Taresha Foxx
· "I would rather be tased than watch Burnett pitch another game in pinstripes."–Mike DeTraglia
"My dead grandmother can pitch better than this guy."–Johnny Luis Reeves
· "Cringing…ulcer…the runs…and lock jaw!"–David Wilson
· "Please, A.J. Stay home and watch the playoffs on TV."–Edwin Maradiaga
· "Are they TRYING not to make it to the World Series? This is like the Knicks bringing back Isaiah!"–Rich Kim
Finally, among all the hostile, faithful, and funny comments, I came across the most intelligent one. I could not track down who said it, but I totally agree with it…
"I reserve my comment until after he pitches."
And that's where I'll leave it.
5 Comments
Let me be the first and not the last to say this is simply SCARY!
AJ has been awful this season and certainly not spectacular even last year. I would hate to think we might be in a position to win the championship series and have him on the mound. Joe needs to take a hard look at this decision if we find ourselves in that position! The question becomes who replaces him? Mosley maybe or do you ask CC or Andy to go on three or four days rest?
Yo man I'm a first time commenter on your blog but I've discovered it when you commented on Jane's blog. Your blog is also great and informative and I've enjoyed reading it. As for AJ Burnett, why was anyone surprised by the news? Wasn't it common knowledge due to the ALCS and WS schedules this year that a 3 man rotation wouldn't be possible? AJ's the best option we have for the fourth spot. Do people really wanna see Javy, Moseley, Mitre, Gaudin, or Nova in that spot? The comments you left of those panicky people are just hilarious though so thanks for posting them. Like you, I will wait until he pitches until I form any opinion on the move, positive or negative.
I would agree with you on Javy, but I believe Moseley's stats are better than AJ's?? Nova doesn't have the experience and once runners get on base he becomes frazzeled. Mitre and Gaudin are situational pitchers or only one inning situations.
It is evident that the Yankees are tanking game four by starting AJ . By warning the fans in the newspaper that he is pitching , maybe they are telling us to get drunk before AJ gives up 7 in the first two innings .
At least it will be a home game and the fans will give him what he deserves . If AJ is a team player , he will stay home .
They are coming closer to reality by TRYING to trade AJ Burnett to the Pittsburgh Pirates !

RICHMOND – The $5.8 million gym expansion at Richmond-Burton High School is nearly complete, and residents will get a chance to take a look.
An open house is scheduled for 7 to 8 p.m. April 18 at the school, 8311 Route 31, Richmond. The older portion of the gym floor will be refinished over the summer.
The first official event to take place in the new space will be the upcoming graduation ceremony. Athletic practices, games and classes will use the facility starting in the fall.
The 30,650-square-foot facility includes separate locker rooms for students in athletics, more storage and office space, three courts and running lanes striped around the perimeter.
The project was originally supposed to be completed in December, but the installation of the wood floor was delayed due to excessive concrete floor moisture, Superintendent Dan Oest said in an email.
Some residents questioned why the district was spending the money when the state faced an uncertain fiscal future and district enrollment is expected to continue falling.
The district has been saving money since the new high school was completed in 2000, so that it could build the expansion without taking out a loan and could sustain the operating costs.

Quoting Street Superintendent Albert Bridge from Bee-Picayune's June 22 edition: "What really hurts is the tall grass."
It is true here on West Hutchinson Street. The condition here is so deplorable. There are two vacant lots in my neighborhood that are not being taken care of by the owners. One of the vacant lots is between me and my next door neighbor, Mr. Rosendo Casarez. It's been three years or so since City Hall (probably) sent two tractors to cut down the vegetations of all kinds, plus the Johnson grass that grows there also. It's not only the vegetation and tall grass that's on that lot but also a dead tree. Mosquitoes are not the only insects breeding there; there are also rodents, rats, roaches, snakes and who knows what else?
I know the owner of this vacant lot; he lives in Midland, according to the address I was given by City Hall. I offered to buy the lot that one time when the owner came, but he wanted an outrageous price for it. He told me at that time that he is paying somebody to take care of it, but besides the two tractors that probably were sent by the city, vegetation and other things are continuing to grow on it.
I don't know what the code compliance officer can do, if anything; maybe he can take a ride to this neighborhood and check out the condition of these lots. Whoever is the authority that can enforce the care of these lots to their owner(s), I am sure the neighborhood will be very appreciative. I know I will. Thank you.

My 10-week-old has a shallow latch that I can't seem to correct. The last LCs I saw seemed to say that since she's so old, it probably can't be corrected which dismays me. I'm not in pain anymore but I had a terrible loss of supply at 2 weeks which was only brought back by domperidone and lots of pumping. I would like to stop or at least cut down on the dom and the pumping but I can't do that until I know that she nurses effectively. She transfers milk fine now but I've built an oversupply and the milk is readily available. I'm afraid of what will happen when my supply is not so robust.
I've seen a few IBCLCs and no one mentioned lip tie or tongue tie, though she does have many of the symptoms. One did note that her tongue is slightly heart-shaped but she dismissed it since she can stick it out fine. It has been suggested that I get her checked out at the local well known oral motor place, but I had a bad experience and I believe a misdiagnosis with my first so I'm reluctant to go back there. There is an ENT in town I've heard treats tongue tie but I'm not sure if I need a referral.
On one hand, I think I'm ridiculous for thinking that a lip tie or tongue tie is causing her problems. Then sometimes it seems plausible and I want to do anything I can to have a successful breastfeeding experience. I have a couple pictures, what do the educated ladies on here think?

Cards cover the spread. Win by 10.
Seeing how it's the cards i can't predict the score; it could be 31 - 21 just as easy as it could be 45-35. I just think Kurt Warner is a better QB than Ben Roethelsberger with better WR's.
after i saw the cards beat my falcons, i believed in this team. so much that i got 25 bucks of their next to games , lol and im gonna put ma money on them and larry fitzgerald. the scary thing is that boldin hasnt even been a factor. i knew pittsburg is stacked defensively but i believe they gonna have their hands full.
Cards : 24
Steelers: 20
game winnin TD drive by the cardinals with :45 sec to go, and the steelers dont get a TD at the end and lose
Cards cover the spread. Win by 10.
Seeing how it's the cards i can't predict the score; it could be 31 - 21 just as easy as it could be 45-35. I just think Kurt Warner is a better QB than Ben Roethelsberger with better WR's.
Yea I do hope Warner does get another ring and plays for a couple more years so that he can be a Hall-of-Famer.
This guy went from working at a supermarket to winning a title with the Rams and being named MVP of the league. Then became a back-up for two teams and many believed his career was over, but look at him now. Somebody should make a movie about him.
yea he's rwal good i think he'll make the Hall-Of-Fame regardless if he wins the superbowl or not. Dude is stupid good
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
**** the Cards had it....but it got away....good **** from Larry though he probably the best receiver in the L.
the steelers got 6 superbowl championships now.....my Cowboys gotta win one now and get back in the tie then reclaim the lead again. You must win one before you win two.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
LMAO its all good. ima get the last laugh this time next year.... lmao
Santoni just came onto the scene as one of the best young WR's in the L....dude got mad skills he like a young Randy Moss.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
that was cool what Holmes did with the football after the touchdown like LeBron with the powder
its fukin b.s, santoni holmes should have been flagged 15 yards for using the football as a prop. The huge error was that the kurt warner "fumble" should have at least been reviewed. it looked like a forward pass to me, and if it was an incompletion the cards wud get 15 more yards because the steelers did a unsportmanlike conduct penalty. that would leave arizona at about the steeler 30 yd line with 7 sec to go. that wud give the cardinals one oppurtinity for a larry fitzgerald heave. u neva kno wat wuda happened. it pisses me off that the refs cud blow a huge oppurtunity in the SUPER BOWL. but whats done is done, i hope the cards re-sign warner and boldin. nd im predictin that mike vick goes to the raiders, and the raiders take super bowl 44
Warner's probably going to retire and Boldin traded to the Giants.
let the interception before halftime teach us not to be greedy.
im not saying he is a young Moss but will be like him, in terms of the way they play. and he not even in his prime yet he gonna be a damn good receiver. Moss was putting up 17TD's as a rookie ....that was sick!

The hearing, scheduled all day on June 29th, will showcase 7 innovative, existing privacy-enhancing Health IT products and systems, and future technologies. The technologies will be discussed by 4 experts and the Privacy and Security Tiger Team.
Early this year, Dr. Blumenthal met with the bipartisan Coalition for Patient Privacy. He told us our idea for this conference struck him as "very intriguing. Two principles should animate our policy development. Patients/consumers come first, and the process should be fair and open." So he agreed to hold a hearing.
Register to attend the hearing at: http://www.blsmeetings.net/consumerchoicetechnologyhearing/
For agenda see: http://healthit.hhs.gov/portal/server.pt?open=512&mode=2&objID=2833&PageID=19423
This is the first hearing ONC has ever held that is focused solely on privacy rights and patients' expectations to control sensitive health records, from prescriptions to DNA. It is VERY timely because billions in stimulus dollars are about to flow.
What kinds of systems do you want to get the stimulus billions??? Current HIT systems that facilitate the data mining, theft, and sale of personal health information or systems that put YOU in control of YOUR information?
Inside-the-beltway domination of policy and standards by major legacy health IT vendors, many major hospitals, the health data mining industries, and physicians' organizations has made it very hard for consumer and privacy advocates to be heard, even though we represent the majority of the American public. The fear is if they have to ask first to see or use our health information, we might refuse. And we might. But it's our right to do so.
Today's HIT systems put our jobs and our kids' futures at risk by exposing everything from our prescription records to our DNA to sale and theft. Once our health data is exposed, like Paris Hilton's sex video, we can never make it private again.
Showcasing technology that empowers patients to actively share data for treatment, personal benefit, and for research, while empowering patients to protect personal information to prevent harms is critical—especially now as HHS prepares to spend billions on EHRs and models for data exchange that do not require meaningful and comprehensive privacy controls.
The video of the hearing will be a critical online resource for the public, the media, states, and the world. There is no other way to learn about robust privacy-enhancing technologies that meet patients' expectations and rights to control use of PHI while enabling compliance with strong state and federal laws, medical ethics, and our Constitutional rights to privacy.
Latanya Sweeney's testimony and slides show the need to choose the right HIT technologies and systems up front, rather than letting "100 weeds fester." See her testimony at: http://patientprivacyrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Sweeney-CongressTestimony-4-22-10.pdf
See her slides at: http://patientprivacyrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/Sweeney-TrustworthyNHINDesigns.pdf
If you cannot attend in person, PLEASE listen in and comment at the end during the comment period or submit comments online. The video link of the hearing will be posted the following day.
TAKE PART: Tell ONC to build privacy-enhancing health IT systems you can trust. Tell ONC to build privacy-enhancing EHRs and systems for data exchange, don't blow the stimulus billions on systems that will never be trusted.
If we don't fight for our rights to control sensitive personal health information, we will never GAIN the right to control the rest of our personal information online and in the Digital World.
Thanks for helping to save privacy!

Pi is a debugger written in C ++. This paper explains how object-oriented programming in C + + has influenced Pi's evolution. The motivation for object-oriented programming was to experiment with a browser-like graphical user interface. The first unforeseen benefit was in the symbol table: lazy construction of an abstract syntax-based tree gave a clean interface to the remainder of Pi, with an efficient and robust implementation. Next, though not in the original design, Pi was easily modified to control multiple processes simultaneously. Finally, Pi was extended to control processes executing across multiple heterogeneous target processors. [Cargill, OOPSPLA 1986]

Drudge Report
Liberals vs. Conservatives on the Web
A few weeks ago, Jon Stewart did a segment about the News of the World phone hacking scandal and how media companies owned by Rupert Murdoch (e.g. Fox News) downplayed the relevancy of the story. This wasn't the Daily Show's first attempt at making news of the news industry (and probably not the last), but it got me thinking about the audience for Stewart's show vs. the Fox audience. More

Ray Rice collected 106 total yards and scored a pair of touchdowns as host Baltimore held off Dallas to win for the fourth-straight time.
The Cowboys fought back in the final minutes and recovered an onside kick to set themselves up for a potential game-winning score. But Dan Bailey's 51-yard field goal attempt sailed just left of the upright with two seconds left.
Things started to swing in Baltimore's favor midway through the second quarter when Rice caught a check-down pass and took it 43 yards down to the 2-yard line. Rice then scored on a 1-yard run a few plays later to knot it at 10-10. Cary Williams then picked off Tony Romo on the ensuing possession, setting up an 80-yard drive that ended with Joe Flacco finding Torrey Smith for a 19-yard touchdown giving the Ravens a 17-10 lead heading into halftime.
Jacoby Jones matched an NFL record when he broke free early in the third quarter on a kickoff return, streaking through a hole in the middle of the field and angling to the right sideline for a 108-yard touchdown and a 24-13 lead.
Rice capped a long drive with another 1-yard score to put Baltimore back in control, 31-23, with 4:49 to play but Romo guided Dallas right back. Romo converted a pair of fourth downs on an 18-play drive and hit Dez Bryant with a touchdown pass with 36 seconds left. Bryant, however, dropped the potential tying two-point conversion attempt.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray rushed for 90 yards on 13 carries in the first half but suffered a sprained foot late in the second quarter and managed only one more carry after the break. Felix Jones ended up with 92 yards on 18 carries and a touchdown as Dallas piled up 227 yards on the ground. … Dallas rookie CB Morris Claiborne left the game with 41 seconds left in the first half after suffering a left knee injury. … Flacco completed 17 of 26 passes for 234 yards and a touchdown for the Ravens.

Samsung Electronics on Tuesday said that it had started volume production of 32GB registered DIMMs based on 4Gb DDR3 chips made using 30nm-class process technology. The world's largest maker of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) claims that the new modules consume less energy than predecessors and therefore will enable more energy-efficient servers. Besides, the company promised to unveil 20nm-class process for DRAMs later in 2011.
Samsung's new 32GB RDIMM performs at up to 1866MHz clock-speed with 1.35V voltage, achieving a 40% improvement over a 1333MHz , 40nm-class 32GB RDIMM operating at 1.5V, therein consuming 18% less power. Samsung's 30nm-class 4Gb DDR3 chip offers an approximate 50% increase in productivity over a 40nm-class 4Gb DDR3, and as a result is expected to achieve rapid market penetration due to lower costs.
"With this module, Samsung has secured the highest level of product and solution competitiveness in the DRAM market for PC, server and mobile applications," said Wanhoon Hong, executive vice president, memory sales & marketing at Samsung Electronics.
Samsung started producing monolithic 4Gb DDR3 DRAM devices based on 30nm-class technology in February, 2011, about a year after the introduction of the fabrication process itself and also about twelve months after it started producing 40nm-class 4Gb DDR3 DRAM devices.
At present, Samsung already offers a number of products based on its 4Gb DDR3 chips produced using 30nm-class process technology, including 16GB RDIMMs for servers, 8GB SO-DIMMs for small form-factor systems and others.
Samsung expects to have more than 10% of its total DRAM chip production in 2012 at the 4Gb (or higher) density. According to HIS market tracker, shipments of 4Gb DRAM are expected to account for approximately 10% of total DRAM shipments in 2012, 35% in 2013 and up to 57% in 2014.
Separately, Samsung announced that it plans to reveal its first DRAM chips made using 20nm-class process technology later this year.
"We also plan to ship more energy-efficient 4Gb DDR3 DRAM based on 20nm-class process technology in the second half of this year, which will significantly expand the rapidly growing market for green IT memory solutions. Moreover, we intend to keep delivering the greenest memory products with optimal performance for customers," said Mr. Hong.

My research focuses on the ecology of coastal marine organisms. I am interested in determining spatial and temporal distributions of economically and ecologically important fishes and macro-invertebrates and how changing patterns of habitat use reflect biotic and abiotic environmental conditions. While at Bowdoin, I would like to continue to explore the use of coastal habitat by nektonic and benthic organisms by investigating larval history and recruitment processes, interactions between invasive and native species, and/or predator-prey dynamics. I hope to develop a research program that centers on undergraduate involvement in field sampling of marine populations and conducting short-term ecological experiments. I envision including undergraduates in all aspects of my research including experimental design, data acquisition, presentation at conferences, and publication.

In search of the magical interview
June 30, 2009
My struggle to balance what I want to find and what I actually find continued today. Again I went out into the field, hoping that I would find the magical interview that would show women why they needed to make the tough decision to put something away now for a distant future. Needless to say, I did not find that interview and I still lack the right spin for a Pension platform (if any readers have any ideas, pray tell! But seriously… please?)
So off my translator, Rashmi, and I went in a rickshaw away from SEWA Bank. We did not have a SEWA worker with us today because our first stop would be a smaller SEWA branch established on the outskirts of Ahmedabad. As SEWA membership grew they opened small branches far away from the main one to better reach out to people in poor communities who could not travel all the way into the city. At this branch we picked up a SEWA employee who worked directly with this community. Out we went to our first home of the day.
I, of course, did not find the magical interview, but I did find four very interesting stories, all of which gave me a richer and deeper understanding of the culture of the poor in India and the capabilities of microfinance.
We enter the home and sit on the floor. A girl in her early twenties is already sitting there with a baby in her arms. The mother of the house, Heera, comes in and sits down with us. Heera and her daughter-in-law make simple stoves out of tin. It takes her one day to make the stove. The raw material for one stove costs 40 rupees and then she sells them to someone that comes to collect them for 50 rupees. I am appalled that she could be getting so little for a day's work of labor. I ask her if that is a fair price and she says she can get an additional five or ten rupees per stove if she sells them at the Sunday market. However, in an effort not to let the stoves build up and to get the money quickly, she often sells them to the middleman when he comes by.
Heera makes so little selling her stoves I question how she can survive and save anything. Her sons are carpenters, she explains, they receive decent wages. Heera says she likes to save with SEWA rather than keeping the money around the house because it keeps her family from taking it to spend on trivial things. It sounds to me like she knows something about financial planning, so does she have a pension account to plan for her future.
She says no, she doesn't think she needs one because she does not want to stop working. She is adamant in that she would not want to just sit around and not contribute. I ask what will happen if she gets sick or too weak to work. She looks around at the large family that has filtered into the small room to watch the interview. Then I have my children to take care of me she says.
Heera says she has been with SEWA for 20 years but in those years she has only taken out one loan. I find this strange since many of the woman I have talked to have been with SEWA for much less time but have taken out up to 7 loans over the years. When she tells me that she could make the stoves much more quickly if she had the proper tools I am surprised. Isn't that what SEWA loans are supposed to be for? To be invested in things like equipment, so that someone living in poverty can maximize the returns on their labor and climb out of poverty? "Why don't you take out another loan to buy the materials? I asked. She told me she is trying to save now because she needs to have more in her savings account before she can take out a large loan for the tools. I write this down with a bit of frustration – I didn't think this was the way microfinance was supposed to work, is this a SEWA thing? Something that happens when a microfinance bank gets large? A microfinance thing in general?
From Heera I walk away having a firmer understanding of the importance of family in the Indian culture, as well as a question or two about microfinance and SEWA. It may not be the interview I was looking for, but I am sure glad I didn't cut it short.
The next home we go to is bigger, but as I soon found out, it had to be in order to accommodate the 16 people living there. Minakshi comes out into the front room to talk to us. Her slight frame is dressed in a simple salwar, she is 23 years old and a member of SEWA Bank. Behind her I notice two slightly older women. They stand out to me because unlike Minakshi they both have sheer scarves that they drape over their head and face. One of the women lifts her the scarf up a bit but does not remove it as she tries to encourage two toddlers to eat their food.
Minakshi sits down on the floor with us and begins to tell us about her large family. She stitches chindi blankets, as do some of the other women, her brother is a computer operator, and her father and uncle work as laborers for daily wages. Though there are a lot of mouths to feed, they are all doing something so they are able to save. Minakshi opened her pension account three years ago when SEWA first started offering it. She saves regularly and is excited to have the money as a cushion when she is older.
As she talks about the work she does as a chindi stitcher, it comes out that she went to nursing school and she used to have a job in a private hospital for 3 months. When I ask why her first response is that girls don't work out of the house in her family so her mother made her stop. I am confused as to why she was allowed to for awhile and then had to stop. I wonder if it has something to do with a husband so I ask if she is married. She is married but for the time being she only sees him during Diwali. After two years of marriage she will go to live with his family. Then it will be up to her mother-in-law whether she can work out of the house.
I notice that the two women in the back casually pull their scarves back over their face. They had sat down next Minakshi and had let their scarves fall in the presence of just women. I look to the door and realize a man has come in with another woman. From the looks of things the family is not too strict about covering the face, but it is nonetheless something I am conscious of.
The other woman is older and seems to carry more clout than the rest. She is Minakshi's mother, Nandu. As she sits down she tells us that she was at the school when her husband came and said there was someone from SEWA at her home and she should go talk to them. I assume that she came back because of her affection for SEWA and her desire to help them if they need her, but a small part of me wonders if she also wants to know what her daughter is saying.
Nandu has been a member with SEWA for thirteen years and saves regularly in a pension account. However, as is becoming a familiar answer, when I ask her if she wants to retire she says no. "I want to work, I can help my family more by working, I would be letting them down if I just sat and rested," she says earnestly.
Then she tells us proudly that she has two daughters who work for SEWA. Now I am confused, why are they aloud to leave the home but Minakshi cannot? When I ask she tells me that no, she is not that rigid with her daughters but now that Minakshi is married her husband can call for her at any time. She would have to leave Ahmedabad immediately and that is too much uncertainty for a stable job in a hospital. I decide Nandu isn't too bad but it is a crazy system for marriage that they have worked out here. I don't have it all figured out, but lucky for me I am about to learn a least a little bit more.
The next home is much smaller, as is the family size. Sonal, age 25, welcomes us in and shows us the work she and her sister do. There steady work is to make party decorations. They use a sewing machine to sew small shiny triangles of paper onto a string to make that can be hung around a room as party decorations. She says they also do beading and embroidery work when someone comes to them with an order. Sonal's brother is away from the home but he is earning well in an auto shop so they are able to save some. Her father used to work in a mill but now that they have almost all closed down he works for daily wages in a tailor shop. Her mother sells sweets and bananas right outside the house for extra income. As a family they make enough that they can put away some money in a savings account. The mother says she has no plans to retire, since she works from home she can do this work into her old age and she does not want to just sit around.
I realize that I am not going to find the perfect interview on pensions here but I am not starting to get curious about the marriage question so I ask Sonal if she is married. "I am working on that one now," chimes in her mother who has come into the house from selling things outside. She tells us that she has already fixed up Sonal's brother who is 21, but it is with someone who is 16 so they must wait two years till she is at the legal marrying age. As for Sonal, she will also get an arranged marriage, but she will be able to say whether or not she likes the person. My translator calls it "an arranged-love marriage," but to me it doesn't seem like their needs to be a lot of love, just not too much hate. I ask how they find someone for her to marry and her mother says they will have friends or relatives of their caste come to them and say they have a son or know a boy and then the families will set up a meeting.
As we leave Sonal's home I am left to think about the fact that there are still arranged marriages and how closely many people pay attention to caste. Though the idea of the caste system in India is not new to me, I had expected that I would see only its remnants. I thought its effects on the culture today would be similar to the way in which the effects of slavery are still felt in the US. Until coming to India (I am slightly embarrassed to say) I had no idea just how important the caste system still is.
The last home of the day, further highlights present day aspects of (poorer) Indian culture that I had always thought of as being from "a time long ago." We arrive to find four women, all of different ages, sitting outside their home working. One of the women looks to be quite old, my translator points it out to me. I think she is starting to hope even more than I do that I find the perfect interview so she can go home.
The three younger women, ranging from 18 to about 35 are sitting around a bag of scrap pieces. I quickly realize the scrap to be the rolley wheels of old office chairs. They are breaking apart the plastic wheel with hammers to get at the screws and metal pieces on the inside. As the pieces splinter off I worry for the safety of a three year old boy sitting only a few feet away and playing with a hammer.
I ask the youngest woman first how old she is, my original guess would have put her at about 15 but she says 18. When I ask if she was done with school she tells me she only went to school until fifth grade and then stopped to help work at home. Together the three women will be able to break apart the 30 kg bag of scrap in two days. Their income for this two-day task is 90 rupees (2.5 rupees per 1 kg).
The eldest woman, Ashu, is not breaking apart scrap but making a stove similar to the woman's at the first home. She is over 60 years old, though she does not know her exact age. She says she has breathing problems, backaches, and pains in her hands from the many years of doing this type of manual labor, and yet she does not think about retiring. She will work for as long as she can, and she does not want to sit around and do nothing. She tells me that she has two sons who are carpenters that will support her if she gets too sick and weak to continue to work.
It is becoming clear to me that working is a way of life for many of these women. They work for their children and their families till they no longer can and then their children are expected to support them. In the family structures of the poor this works as long as a woman has sons. Sons bring their wives home to their family. Sons and daughters-in-law are responsible for supporting the eldest members of the family if they get to a point where they can no longer work. However, it is worth noting that I have not yet seen any women at that point and all the women I have talked to seem determined to keep working until they physically cannot any longer.
I left the outskirts of Ahmedabad and traveled back into the city with ideas and questions running through my head. Can SEWA be more effective? Will the pension scheme really be able to take hold? How quickly is Indian culture changing? Looking back on my day of interviews I am beginning to think that maybe, just maybe, they were magical after all

Marshallia Ranch Golf Course
Vandenberg AFB, California
July 11, 2004
Kwon takes medalist honors for Girls Division at the AJGA Marshallia Ranch Junior Qualifier
VANDENBERG AFB, Calif.â Mathew Tom of Norwalk, Calif., took home medalist honors with a 3-under-par 69 Sunday at the AJGA Marshallia Ranch Junior Qualifier. In the Girls Division, Diane Kwon of Fremont, Calif., won medalist honors and qualified for the tournament with a 3-over-par 75.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the AJGA Marshallia Ranch Junior Qualifier was held at the Marshallia Ranch Golf Course and featured 96 players from four states including 93 California natives. Fifteen boys and three girls gained entry into the tournament, which will begin Tuesday.
Tom, 17, won second place at the True Temper Junior Open last week and said his goal for this week is to win the top spot.
âIâm pretty calm going into the tournament,â he said. âMy goal is to win, obviously, but if not, then top ten.â
He said the course was challenging compared to last weekâs course at Diablo Grande. Even though it was challenging, Tom started on No. 10 and only missed one fairway. He made birdie on Nos. 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 18.
âNo. 18 gave me momentum for the rest of the round,â he said. âI got on in two and then made birdie.â
For the tournament on Tuesday, Tom said he wants to work on his ball striking and getting closer to the hole.
Also qualifying for the Boys Division were Samuel Kim of Cerritos, Calif., Chad Vivolo of Carmel, Calif., John Cisek of Coto de Caza, Calif., Andrew Gunson of Irvine, Calif., Jason Bullemer of Santa Barbara, Calif., Kenny Roberts of Seal Beach, Calif., Erik Jarvey of Palmdale, Calif., Trevor Carle of Santa Rosa, Calif., Scott Chacon of Pasadena, Calif., Matt Grush of Los Angeles, Tom Lo of Los Angeles, Michael Saviano of Sunnyvale, Calif., Brendan Thomas of Westlake Village, Calif., and Kyle Borggrebe of West Hills, Calif.
Kwon, 14, said she was worried about the trees on the course because she had a lot of problems with them during her practice round.
âMy round today was easier than I expected,â Kwon said. âI managed to stay out of the trees.â
She birdied Nos. 2, 9 and 13 and said her putting was working really well for her.
âMy birdie on No. 2 was awesome,â she said. âIt was a par 4 and my drive was really good. I pitched it close, about two to three feet away from the hole and sank it.â
Her goal for the tournament is to shoot even-par.
âIâm really excited,â she said. âI want to play better than I did today.â
Also qualifying for the Girls Division were Hannah Shin of Orange, Calif., and Mariko Makabe of Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif.

Couple face new charges in teacher killingTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 09,2013BURLINGTON A couple charged with killing a St. Johnsbury Academy science teacher last year have pleaded not guilty to new charges of kidnapping and conspiracy to commit murder.
Allen and Patricia Prue of Waterford were in Caledonia Superior Court Monday, where they were ordered by a judge to have no contact with one another. Patricia Prue also pleaded not guilty to eight new counts of possession of child pornography related to images on a laptop computer she allegedly owned.
The Prues are being held without bond on charges they killed Melissa Jenkins, 33, in March of 2012. Prosecutors say they lured Jenkins from her Danville home, strangled her, and dumped her body in the Connecticut River.
Judge Robert Bent on Monday granted a request by the Caledonia County states attorney to add conditions that the Prues, who will be tried separately, not have contact with each other in person, by writing, telephone, email or through a third person. Patricia Prue also is forbidden from contacting Allen Prues mother or his sister and must not possess photos of children under the age of 16.
Allen Prue, 31, is being held in Rutland at the Marble Valley Correctional Facility; Patricia Prue, 34, is in custody at Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility in South Burlington.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Cal Logo 2.0: Let There be UC Lite
When you think about it, it's amazing that the high-minded swells at the University of California didn't unveil a new logo sooner. The old logo, which will continue to appear on diplomas and official letters, features the school motto, "Let there be light." Ancient. An English translation of a Latin phrase. And a book. Dead-tree lit. 1868? Dead white guys. Under a star. Too militaristic.
But it wasn't political correctness that relegated the old UC seal to the dusty top shelf reserved for weighty documents only. The new logo, explained UC spokesman Steve Montiel, is "an operational thing." The seal doesn't look so hot when reproduced dime-size. The administration wanted a logo that could be used in different kinds of media and with other logos that represent UC campuses and facilities — yet remain distinct.
Problem is, the new logo is bland, and some versions are ugly. UC 2.0 is not lofty, it's UC Lite.
To be fair, the new brand is not ugly in all of its iterations. There's a blue-and-white version that doesn't remind the casual observer of a flushing toilet.
But a school-colors version that features a filled-in blue U, with a top like the top of an open book and a bottom with a fading gold C, is unappealing. It looks like a tacky smart phone frozen as it struggles to connect with Wi-Fi.
In other words, in an attempt to be forward-looking, UC repeated its history by offending just about everybody.
It looks dumbed down. Designers deliberately got rid of the words, "Let there be light." That offends old fogies like me who think words belong on a university seal. A UC video dramatizes how designers replaced the light motto with light colors.
On the other end of the spectrum, left-leaning students take umbrage with the new emblem's slick, corporate-style branding. They look at the new symbol and see: UC Inc.
Montiel notes that UC has been using the new logo for more than six months with little public complaint until the news media reported on the makeover. "It's been overblown," says he.
UC marketing director Jason Simon tells me that the monogram, which was designed in-house, will be used next to the words University of California. (So there are words.) The logo is flexible, and the design community approves.
John Ellis, head of the California Association of Scholars, however, shares my misgivings about losing the motto. "Let there be light," he said, reminds students and professors that "the university is about knowledge and understanding, first and foremost."
Dumping the motto, Ellis added, serves those who see the primary purpose of the university to be, rather than educating, inculcating students with a social justice agenda.
Simon says the new logo can appeal to 17-year-old applicants. So it's farewell to, "Let there be light." Farewell to words. Let there be light colors.

Gov. Neil Abercrombie issued a release late Thursday, saying the Hawaii State Teachers Association has walked away from federal mediation.
"The Federal Mediator has informed us that HSTA is ending their participation in mediation," Abercrombie said in the release. "I am very disappointed that HSTA once again is not willing to engage in discussions that could resolve outstanding issues."
On Friday, the HSTA filed a petition with the Hawaii Supreme Court asking the court to order the Labor Relations Board to make a decision on what's called the state's "Last, Best and Final Offer." Teachers have been operating under that mandated contract since July of last year.
HSTA President Wil Okabe is believed to be in Washington, DC, after meeting with federal education leaders regarding Hawaii's Race to the Top grant. He has not been reached for comment.

Best album I've heard all year. Other than the debut, I don't really hear much Mercyful Fate in this band. Even their last album struck me as something more original than the average retro-metal record. To me, "The World. The Flesh. The Devil." was more of an evolution for traditional metal. Now, "Sister" is probably less traditional to my ears. With all of the old school gothic influences, I think they're doing something very original right now. It isn't your typical "gothic metal" album as you couldn't really compare it to something like Type O Negative or anything else along those lines. I think these guys have really come into their own.

FX has long been one of the smartest, most progressive television networks in terms of its original series, offering some of the best comedies and dramas currently on TV and embracing original premises and new concepts regularly. Adapting the Coen Brothers' award-winning 1996 film "Fargo" into a 10-episode "limited series" is the latest intelligent creative endeavor.
FX's "Fargo" is more than a retelling of the original story, instead offering an all-new "true crime" tale ensconced with similar gallows humor, oddball characters and quirky accents. The major difference between the movie and the mini-series is the latter's more plentiful violence and menacing sensibility.
The main reason the "Fargo" series is darker and more intense is Billy Bob Thorton's performance as Lorne Malvo, a drifter who rolls into Bemidji, Minnesota, and immediately starts wreaking havoc, mainly on Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman).
Thorton's Lorne is basically a wittier and more loquacious version of another iconic Coen Brothers character, Anton Chigurh from "No Country for Old Men." On the polar opposite of the charisma scale is Freeman's Lester, who'll immediately remind viewers of William H. Macy's character in the original film.
Besides the two leads, there's a whole world of characters rambling around: Bob Odenkirk as a Bemidji cop, Oliver Platt as the Supermarket King (of Minnesota), Glenn Howerton as an uber-tanned moron and Kate Walsh as a stripper-turned-trophy-wife.
Other characters are, like Lester, clearly inspired by folks from the film; Colin Hanks and Allison Tolman filling in as Frances McDormand's indelible Marge Gunderson, and Adam Goldberg and Russell Harvard are essentially Steve Buscemi and Peter Stormare's partners-in-crime.
"Fargo" features serious violence and machinations in the first four episodes, but writer Noah Hawley also infuses some great eccentric humor. Hawley really has done an admirable job in mirroring the film's tone.
If you've seen (and surely enjoyed) the original film, this "Fargo" will be quite entertaining, especially in its sly references. If you've never seen it, you'll find "Fargo" weird, darkly comic and still quite entertaining.

This year's spring is shaping up to be one of the coldest on record.
Normally by now, some area fields would be open for community softball and baseball games and people would be out enjoying the parks. This year, that's not the case.
"It's unfortunate, but you can't fight Mother Nature," said La Crosse Park and Recreation Director Steve Carylon.
Lately, it's seems like the birds and the squirrels are the only ones getting some good use out of the city's parks and ball fields.
"It's put a damper on some of the opportunities we have this time of year," said Carylon.
This spring's howling winds and cold temperatures are keeping the fields and the stands empty longer than usual.
"Some of the softball programs haven't kicked on or some of the soccer programs haven't kicked on or (are) delayed because we can't get onto the fields because they're wet," said Carylon.
"It certainly hurts the outdoor recreation side of the biking and the hiking," said Dave Clements of the La Crosse Area Visitor and Convention Bureau.
The cold weather is keeping a lot of the outdoor tourists away, but so far La Crosse has hosted more than five conventions this year and Clements said there's plenty more to come.
"Especially this time of year, things start to ramp up starting about mid-May," said Carylon. "All I know is with all the meetings and conventions, we've been really busy in the hotel business and convention service that we provide."
So for now the parks and the benches may stay empty, but Carylon said maybe this just means we'll have longer summer weather to enjoy.
"I think it's just what it is and we learn to adapt to it," said Carylon. "Now maybe we'll have 80 degree weather in October this year, so we'll keep a positive outlook for it."
For the most updated information on park conditions and program cancellations head to the city's website.

Spiders Tune In To Web's Music To Size Up Meals And Mates
Some of the toughest stuff in nature is spider silk — as strong, ounce for ounce, as nylon. And a silk web makes a great trap for prey, as well as a nice place for a spider to live.
But scientists have learned that spiders can do something else quite extraordinary with their webs: They can "tune" them, like musical instruments.
This revelation comes from a scientific team in England called the Oxford Silk Group. No, membership isn't about school neckties or silk undergarments. The group studies silk from animals, such as spiders. Why?
"Spider silk has been evolving for over 350 million years," says Beth Mortimer, a lecturer in biology at Oxford University, "and it's something we haven't been able to re-create."
Mortimer and her colleagues recently discovered that many of the silk elements or strands in a web actually vibrate like strings on a musical instrument. "If you think of something like a violin or a guitar," Mortimer says, "for a certain length of string you can have different pitches that come out of your instrument."
A guitar or violin string's thickness, length and tension determine the pitch of the sound it produces when plucked. It turns out spiders know this (even without the benefit of much of a brain), mostly thanks to sensors in their legs. And spiders (at least the golden orb weavers the Silk Group studied) can distinguish between different vibrations or pitches traveling up and down the silk web.
But here's something more amazing: A spider will sometimes tighten or loosen those silk strands to alter the way each string resonates. "It can actually very finely tune how the silks are vibrating," Mortimer says. Her team used lasers to detect the tiniest vibrations in the web — and observed spiders doing this sort of tuning. The scientists describe their work in an online report in the journal Advanced Materials.
So, OK, these spiders "tune" their webs. But why?
The Silk Group says the array of vibrations coursing through the web provides a kind of information. The spider "reads" these vibrations to, for example, locate where a struggling insect has been snagged. And apparently the web has to be tuned just right to provide that kind of arachnidian triangulation.
And sometimes the spider will even "play" the web to create vibrations and interpret the results. "The spider can actually pluck or bounce the silk strings," says Mortimer, "and it can monitor the echoes that come back so it can locate objects."
Now, with all those strands in a web, you can imagine what the spider must be sensing when a big bug flies into it and thrashes around — a real cacophony.
Sometimes spiders get visitors in their webs that are not prey, though — they're potential mates. Mortimer suspects the web owner can also distinguish that kind of signal from others. She doesn't know what that particular vibrational pattern would feel like to spiders — one can only assume they're pickin' up good vibrations.
A spider's web is a great place to catch flies and for the spider to live. It turns out spiders can also do something quite extraordinary with their silk webs. They can tune them like musical instruments. NPR's Christopher Joyce has the story on the music of the web.
CHRISTOPHER JOYCE, BYLINE: In England, there's a scientific team called the Oxford Silk Group. No, they're not about school neckties. They study silk from animals, like spiders. Why?
BETH MORTIMER: Spider silk has been evolving for over 350 million years. And it's something that we haven't been able to re-create.
JOYCE: Beth Mortimer is a biologist at Oxford University, and she's discovered that many of the silk elements or strands in a web actually vibrate like strings on a musical instrument.
MORTIMER: If you think about something like a violin or a guitar, for certain lengths of string, you can have different pitches that come out of your instrument.
JOYCE: OK, let's take a guitar string.
JOYCE: The string's thickness, its length and tension determine what pitch you get. In this case, a G note. And it turns out the spiders, mostly with sensors in their legs, can distinguish between different vibrations or pitches traveling up and down the silk web. But here's something more amazing. A spider will sometimes tighten or loosen those silk strands.
MORTIMER: So it can actually very finely tune how the silk's vibrating.
JOYCE: On a guitar, kind of like this.
JOYCE: Mortimer's team used lasers to actually observe spiders tuning their webs. They describe this in the journal "Material Views". As to why they do it, well, when an insect gets snagged in the web an array of vibrations courses through it. The spider reads them, say, to locate where a struggling insect is stuck. And apparently, the web has to be tuned just right to do that. And sometimes a spider will even play the web to get information.
MORTIMER: The spider can actually pluck or bounce the silk strings.
MORTIMER: And it can monitor the echoes that come back, so it can locate objects.
JOYCE: Now with all those strands in a web, you can imagine with spider must be sensing when a big bug flies into it and thrashes around.
JOYCE: But sometimes spiders get visitors that are not prey, rather, their potential mates. Mortimer suspects the web owner can distinguish that kind of vibration from others. One can only imagine what a potential mate might sound like.

[Today: Peter Gabriel scores the life and times of Jesus, and creates a world music gem…]
Not exactly a soundtrack, and not exactly a Peter Gabriel album, Passion is nonetheless one of the most enchanting world music albums to be found in print. It technically isn't the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Last Temptation Of Christ – rather it expands on the music that Gabriel produced for that movie. Featuring the contributions of an all-star cast of world music titans, including Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn, Youssou N'Dour, and Baaba Maal, it's a swirling kaleidoscope of musical textures and moods that is a Peter Gabriel album in name only. In fact, Gabriel doesn't even appear in the musical credits for several of the tracks.
The individual songs are built off sketches of centuries' old middle eastern musical themes. A mountain of polished adjectives couldn't begin to describe this music as effectively as a partial list of instruments used: Turkish ney flute, tabla, kementche, finger cymbals, Kurdish duduk. The album is a vast repository of striking, exotic sounds and intense instrumental performances. The finished product was the work of musicians from more than a dozen countries, making this a world music album in the truest sense of the term.
In his brief liner notes that accompany the album, Gabriel expresses his heartfelt thanks to the musicians who played on it. "We recorded some of the finest singers and soloists in the field of world music," he writes. "The soundtrack is full of the spirit of their performances." It's a spirit that will live on long after the movie that inspired it has faded from public memory.

Winter is coming, you need an extra layer of insulation for survival. It is time to partake in shameless carnivory by eating Barbecue. Hip bbq joints in Philadelphia are a relatively recent phenomenon, but they are here and they are smoking, rubbing, and saucing meat. Fette Sau, Barbacoa, and Blue Belly are three such institutions and they are considered to be among the best that the city has to offer.
Fette Sau
1208 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19125
Mon-Thurs 5pm-11pm, Fri 5pm-12pm, Sat Noon-12am, Sun Noon-11pm
German for fat pig, Fette Sau sounds a little pretentious until you realize what it means, but it's still in German. Angela Merkel does not call to mind down and dirty American food. Also, this restaurant is imported from NYC, so it's not a Philly original, but when it comes to BBQ in the Northeast one can't really enforce originality. Putting my quibbles aside, this place is known for a cafeteria style serving line where you get meat by the pound. They are known for their dry rub brisket and ribs, and all of their meats are "hormone, antibiotic, and steroid free". When you place your order, they carve out your portion from on the spot, and give you some dinner roles for making an impromptu sandwich. On the side, their roasted mushrooms have a following, but they don't offer the traditional lineup of bbq sides like cornbread, mac n' cheese, and collard greens. The fanfare here is about meat and atmosphere, and they have some great patio seating that is heated for year round enjoyment.
Directions: Take the MFL to Girard, walk east along Girard until you hit Frankford Ave, then make a left. Fette Sau will be just up the street on the left.
64 Rittenhouse Place, Ardmore, PA 19003
Tues-Thurs 5pm-9pm, Fri/Sat 5pm-10pm, Sun 4pm-8pm, Closed Mondays.
Barbacoa has the advantage of being close to home, so if you have a bbq craving that just can't wait, this might be your best option. They specialize in fire-roasted peruvian chicken, which they brine for 12 hours, and cook on spits over hardwood coals and oak logs. They also offer bisket, St. Louis ribs, and Nowegian salmon, along with the classic sides: corn bread, mac n' cheese, slaw, etc. Menu note: they are the only restaurant in this trio to offer traditional corn bread and a salmon option. Barbacoa offers 10% off take-out orders on Tuesday and Wednesday, so you can pop by and grab some of their Peruvian chicken to drag back to your cave and gnaw on the bones.
Directions: Walk along Lancaster until you get to Cricket Ave. then turn right. Make the first left onto Cricket Terrace, then a right on Rittenhouse Pl. Barbacoa will be on the right.
Blue Belly BBQ
600 Catharine Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147
Sun, Wed, Thurs: 12–8 pm, Fri/Sat: 12–9 pm, Closed Mondays
Of all the restaurants discussed in this post, Blue Belly comes the closest to a southern bbq joint. Of course, they own their northern identity- a "blue belly" was a northern soldier during the Civil War. What they have in common with their southern counterparts is a respect for the side item. When you order a platter of Berkshire pork, grass-fed beef, or organic chicken, you get your choice of three sides. None of the "sides extra" nonsense. Sides are sacred, a part of the bbq ritual, and Blue Belly gets it right. Additionally, their loaded tater-tots have bacon, cheese, pulled pork, scallions, and sour cream so that you can start your meal off right. The chef, Gene Giuffi, also runs the upscale restaurant Cochon, so you are eating serious food in the laid back tradition of bbq at Blue Belly.
Directions: Take the train to Market east, or the NSHL/MFL to 5th, then walk along Market until you get to 6th. Walk south on 6th until you get to 6th and Catherine, Blue Belly is on the right near the corner.
Go forth and feast on tasty bbq!

BSC Faculty Member Publishes Two Papers in International Journal and Conference Proceedings
CreatedWednesday, November 09 2011
Created byJim Nelson/Media Relations - (304) 327-4103 firstname.lastname@example.com
(Bluefield)—Dr. Shannon Bowling, an Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering Technology at Bluefield State College, recently submitted two papers that have been accepted for publication in an international journal and international conference proceedings.
The first paper entitled "Teaching Interactively using Web-Conferencing: The Student Perspective," was accepted and presented in the 2011 ASEM (American Society for Engineering Management) annual conference hosted by Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX. The paper details the steps to be taken to design and build a distance education classroom that can cater to the needs of students for both face-to-face instruction and web delivery of courses simultaneously. The preliminary results obtained from the paper show a high level of student satisfaction with the technology used, along with ease to follow content and ability to communicate with instructor and fellow students. The paper is published in the 2011 ASEM conference proceedings and can be found online at www.asem.org. Information pertaining to the conference can be found at aln.coe.ttu.edu/asem2011/.
The second paper entitled "Initiative Mapping Methodology for System-of-Systems Applications" describes a quantitative approach to making correct decisions in a complex systems environment where little information is known about the system itself but great consequences may be encountered if a wrong decision is made. This paper appears in the International Journal of Industrial and Systems Engineering and can be found at www.inderscience.com/ijise.
Both papers are part of Dr. Bowling's research effort to promote education through the use of technology and a quantitative approach for making correct decisions.

Nvidia Corp., a leading supplier of graphics processing units (GPUs) and multimedia chips, has reportedly received the first engineering samples of its upcoming flagship GPU from the fab, a report claims. However, another report says that manufacturing yield is so dramatically low that it is uncertain whether the company will be in position to start revenue shipments of the chip this December.
Nvidia's code-named GT300 (G300, NV60) graphics processor is rumoured to have rather tremendous die area of 452mm², which means that only about 104 - 105 of such dies can fit onto one 300mm wafer. The chip is made using 40nm fabrication process at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, which still cannot boast truly high yields, just about one and a half months ago TSMC reported about 60% yield on 40nm process tech. Since Nvidia GT300 is very large, its yields are naturally lower than those of mainstream chips (with smaller die sizes) at 40nm, hence, it will not be a surprise if GT300's yields are in the range between 30% (the yield of first 40nm chips at the start of commercial production earlier this year) and 50% at the moment.
According to information from a Japanese hardware news web-site, Nvidia received the first chips back from the fab in early September and in the best case scenario it will be in position to begin revenue shipments of the chip sometimes in December. However, SemiAccurate web-site claims that out of four 300mm wafers that Nvidia got from TSMC, only seven chips worked, which means that the yield is about 2%.
At present it is unclear from the reports whether Nvidia has received the first experimental chips for internal testing and experiments or has got engineering samples, which it provides to partners, game developers, etc. Two things are more or less clear about GT300 at the moment: Nvidia does have samples of the chip, yields of the chip are rather low.
Time will tell whether Nvidia succeeds is beginning revenue shipments if its GT300 chips this December and manages to commercially launch DirectX 11-compliant graphics cards early next year. Until then, Nvidia's arch-rival ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, will be the only supplier of DirectX 11 graphics cards, which are set to be released in the coming weeks.
Nvidia did not comment on the news-story.

History of Pacific Coast Air Museum
The Pacific Coast Air Museum (PCAM) had been an idea in the minds of several aircraft owners at Sonoma County Airport for many years. The first museum meeting was held at the base of the Air Traffic Control Tower at Sonoma County Airport on February 4, 1990. Approximately 21 people attended, representing 16 different aircraft that qualified as historic.
Our first Open House was on May 26, 1990. We have held an Open House and/or Air Show every year since, enabling the community to view our growing collection of aircraft and artifacts, to visit displays, and to see aerial demonstrations and become more aware of our rich aviation history.
Mission Statement
Founded in 1989, the Pacific Coast Air Museum (PCAM) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to Educate and Inspire both young and old about our aviation heritage and space technology, to Preserve historic aircraft and artifacts, and to Honor veterans.
|During our Open Houses and Air Shows our museum has hosted Top Gun instructors, Navy/Air Force/Marine pilots, crewmembers, and aircraft, and war bird veterans and aircraft. A NASA astronaut participated in our 2006 "Wings Over Wine Country" Air Show. The Air Shows have been so successful and well received that our annual "Wings Over Wine Country" Air Show now draws over 20,000 visitors to our two-day Air Show each year. Our Air Show has become a world-class event featuring everything from military jet demo teams to skydiving, and hang-gliding to biplane aerobatics and top performers who attract large crowds of aviation enthusiasts.
Our first museum aircraft acquisition was a Douglas A-26 Invader restoration project. Next, the F-8C Crusader was retrieved from Larsen Park on 19th Avenue in San Francisco where it had been sitting derelict for many years. It is now proudly displayed, on its feet, in the original Navy paint scheme. In June 1994, a Navy A-6E Intruder flew in to join the collection; and just before the open house that August, we flew in our Ilyushin IL-14 Light Transport from Reno, Nevada, where it had been restored to flight status by our members. In January 1995, we added a Navy Top Gun School F-16N Viper from Naval Air Station (NAS) Miramar. Since then, an F-4C Phantom II was trucked in from the Army Weapons Depot, Herlong, California.; an F-14A was flown in from NAS Point Mugu, California.; an A-4E Skyhawk was retrieved from Davis Monthan AFB, Arizona.; and a UH-1H Huey helicopter was retrieved from the California National Guard in Sacramento, California. In 1997 the museum acquired a rare RF-86F Sabre from China Lake Weapons Test Center, CA. The museum also acquired F-84F Thunderstreak and F-86H Sabre fighters.
In 1999, our museum acquired an HU-16E Albatross from a private donor and a F-105 Thunderchief from the Army Weapons Depot, Herlong, California. In 2004 we added an F-106, dedicated to Major General Jimmy Jumper and Colonel Joe Rogers. In 2005 we added an F-5E Tiger II and in 2006 we acquired and restored a rare AV-8C Harrier. Additional aircraft include T-33, T-37 and T-38 Air Force trainer aircraft. Our latest addition is a beautiful Pitts 2-C Special. A California Department of Forestry (CDF) S-2 aircraft for our collection is scheduled to arrive shortly and we are currently fully restoring a T-28C aircraft.
Our HU-16E Albatross, dedicated in October 1999, is used as a demonstration classroom for young enthusiasts. Museum docents conduct active educational tours for thousands of Sonoma County school children each year. Our Air Museum provides an educational outreach program to schools and is open for climb-aboards, field trips and special presentations. We also host birthday parties for children on our beautiful east patio, near our aircraft displays.
In addition to aircraft, the museum continues to acquire donations of aviation-related display material, reference books, display engines and assorted historical artifacts. Our display areas are housed in an original World War II era fabrication shop at the Charles M. Schulz - Sonoma County Airport. Volunteers have refurbished this building over the years and the museum recently added an annex to house the growing number of aviation displays and to provide classroom, office and meeting space. The Pacific Coast Air Museum is very active in community events. Our organization participates in Santa Rosa's annual Rose Parade, puts on a Santa Claus "fly in" each December, hosts veteran's groups, reunions and provides community service opportunities for high schools. The museum is also involved in, and supports EAA, CDF, Reach, the Sheriff's helicopter, several Chambers of Commerce, local tourism organizations, the Civil Air patrol, Boy Scouts and many other civic groups. In addition the museum provides speakers for civic groups.
The Pacific Coast Air Museum is planning a major fund raising drive to build a larger, more permanent Air Museum in a new location on the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport.
