Associated Press | Last updated November 21, 2012
More than a year after the leaders of English soccer tried to block his re-election, FIFA President Sepp Blatter signaled an end to the tensions between the two sides on Wednesday at the England team's new training base. Blatter, who was booed by fans during his last visit to England during the London Olympics, visited St. George's Park on Wednesday. FIFA contributed $500,000 toward the medical center at the training ground. Relations between FIFA and England were strained last year when the Football Association tried to block Blatter's re-election amid corruption scandals, while the FIFA president spoke about English ''arrogance'' after their failed bid to host the 2018 World Cup. But Blatter said Wednesday that there is no lingering animosity. ''When there are human beings from time to time relations are not as such as they should be in a very educated family,'' Blatter said. ''But when you are able then to bring everybody back to the same level, and this has been done in the ...

Save Your Summer With Pickled Blueberries Posted by: Rod Ford | 0 Comments
The next time you are in line at the grocery store, check out the covers of any magazine. Each is replete with photos of luscious berries, baskets overflowing with homegrown vegetables, and recipes aplenty inside. Each guarantees to help the reader prolong summer by canning/freezing/preserving/pickling that farmers' market haul.
This story is no different.
Well, the recipe is different.
With a surfeit of fresh seasonal blueberries, you've no doubt already made a mess of preserves, a pile of pies, and mastered the art of freezing them on a cookie sheet and transferring them to large zip-top bags to enjoy next winter. You've given plenty away and you still have some left over. Have you ever thought of pickling those blueberries?
Nate Whiting, executive chef at restaurant Tristan in Charleston, S.C. provided the following recipe which is certain to elevate your next weekend fete. Chef Whiting offers, "At the restaurant we are particularly fond of the combination of mushrooms and blueberries. We typically make a mushroom risotto, and garnish it with the pickled blueberries. We have also been known to make mushroom and blueberry elixirs as a digestivo. It sounds like an odd combination, but it's certainly nothing new; its been a northern Italian favorite for ages. At home, it would be good to make a bruschetta with mascarpone, prosciutto and pickled blueberries. Or you could make a vinaigrette by pureeing everything in the recipe then adding an equal amount of your favorite olive oil."
We'd suggest doubling the recipe packaging it in some pretty containers for that next hostess gift, too. See where Whiting's recipe takes you and share your results with us on Facebook or Twitter!
Tristan's Pickled Blueberries
2 pints fresh blueberries
the zest of 1 lemon
the zest of 1 lime
5g coriander seeds
3g juniper berries
½ stick cinnamon
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 fresh bay leaves
300g water
250g red wine vinegar
40g lemon juice
10g lime juice
90g sugar
7g kosher salt
¼ – ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
1) Place the blueberries in a non-reactive container, with enough room to hold the pickling liquid, and set aside.
2) Wrap the citrus zests, coriander seeds, juniper berries, cinnamon stick, thyme and bay leaves in a square of cheese cloth and tie together to create a sachet.
3) In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, combine the sachet with the water, vinegar, lemon juice, lime juice, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and pour over the reserved blueberries. Cover the blueberries with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil and allow them to come to room temperature. When cooled, transfer the mixture to a covered container and refrigerate for at least one day before use.

Long Range Systems (LRS) has announced the launch of Table Tracker 3.0, a table location system that identifies where guests are sitting so restaurants can deliver food faster and generates analytics on operations and service.
Table Tracker guides and tracks a guest's order from purchase through delivery, a drastic process improvement from traditional fast casual delivery methods that involve shouting out numbers or scouring the dining area for the right table tent.
The system starts at the time of an order. The customer is handed a tracker that reads a tag at his or her chosen table. The location is broadcast to an order display for food runners to reference before delivering the food. Managers can then analyze Table Tracker reports to measure performance versus goals by hour or day of week, or across multiple locations.
Table Tracker 3.0 includes several enhancements over previous versions, including:
An iPad interface that can be downloaded directly from the Apple App store.
Enhanced reporting and data visualizations inspired by Google Analytics.
iPad and web reporting.
The ability to export data for further analysis and tracking.
The Table Tracker system comes with trackers that broadcast the location of the guest, a gateway that wirelessly connects the trackers to an iPad, the mobile app that displays the location of the guests, and under-the-table tags or an above-table tracker dock. Table Tracker also includes reporting and analytics software, an extended warranty and 24/7 customer support.

DIEGO GARCIA, British Indian Ocean Territory - Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 officially relieved NMCB 5 of all duties and project activities during a change of charge ceremony Aug. 11 held at the detachment's headquarters in Diego Garcia.
According to the detachment's officer in charge Navy Ensign Mallory Smith, her detachment is excited to help strengthen ties with the allied British government who owns Diego Garcia's territory in the Indian Ocean.
"My team is focused and happy to be engaged in what we do best - construction is the Seabee's bread and butter," said Smith. "This project allows us to provide a valuable living area to other people working just as hard as we plan to. It will allow us to leave a lasting imprint and through our quality labor, further strengthen ties with one of our oldest allies."
During the six-month deployment, the Seabees will continue construction on a 3,000 square foot modified contractor living unit. It will consist of 12 rooms with shared bathrooms, a common area, kitchen and laundry.
"Diego Garcia is a beautiful island and the people we are working with are great professionals," said Smith. "Our project is important to providing the contractors here with improved living conditions that will hopefully increase their quality of life."
One of the first battalions commissioned during World War II, NMCB 3's legacy stands strong in its ability to build and fight anywhere in the world as either a full battalion or as a group of autonomous detachments, simultaneously completing critical engineering and construction missions.
For this deployment, NMCB 3 has split into nine detachments to perform critical construction projects in remote island areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia and the Philippines. The teams will also conduct operations in Atsugi, Yokosuka and Okinawa, Japan, Chinhae, South Korea and China Lake, Calif.
The naval construction force is a vital component of the U.S. maritime strategy. They provide deployable battalions capable of providing disaster preparation and recovery support, humanitarian assistance and combat operations support.
NMCB 3 provides combatant commanders and Navy component commanders with combat-ready warfighters capable of general engineering, construction and limited combat engineering across the full range of military operations.

The lites of luxury
Fantastic fabricated glass highlights high-end condos in New York
Art, design, money and glass combine in New York City to create the interiors and exteriors of some of most expensive pieces of real estate in the world. While the rest of the United States has suffered a steady decline in the residential market, the 23-square-mile city that never sleeps has continued to prosper, with a luxury, high-end resident building boom. "Domestically, economic indicators have shown a sharp decline in new and renovated residential properties. … Manhattan has not only be not affected, residential properties in [the city] have increased in value," says David Balik, president of General Glass International, Secaucus, N.J. The glass industry is riding the wave of New York's high-end residential boom, as designers and owners demand sleek, modern interiors. "Everyone in New York City is looking for clean lines—it's the rage," says Douglas Schulman, CEO of Manhattan Shade and Glass Co. "Even more traditional apartments are trying to use more contemporary elements in kitchens and bathrooms. " Decorative glass companies agree the biggest trend in the high-end residential segment is wall cladding. Managers say they can't keep up with demand for back-painted or coated glass in lobbies and elevators, and backsplashes in kitchens and bathrooms. "We are seeing a lot of back splashes. Sometimes designers specify wall cladding for an entire wall," says Tammy Allaire, inside sales representative for Goldray Industries Ltd. of Calgary, Albert. Designers like the flexibility of back-painted glass, because they can choose from many colors to fit the décor of a space, she says. "We are constantly quoting on new jobs and sending samples out for this sort of project," Allaire says. Manhattan Shade & Glass' backsplash business has grown along with demand for other applications using similar coated glass products, using the GlassKote process. "The coated glass is the core part of our business right now. It's being specified for elevator lobbies, bathroom walls, even floors," Schulman says. Tim Czechowski, president of Artwork in Architectural Glass, Newport Beach, Calif., says he has supplied several expanses of wall cladding for New York lobbies using an antique-like mirror product from AAG's sister company Jokimo Inc. "Some of our projects use a full wall of MirrorUnique," he says. In addition to wall cladding, Czechowski says glass flooring has become a big trend among luxury condo owners. Manhattan millionaires, in particular, are jumping to get spiral glass staircases. "Glass flooring is the hottest thing around," he says. "Some of these apartments are fairly nice in size, but it's still New York Cities—you're limited. The spiral staircases take up less space. The glass treads on the stairs are the big things right now." Czechowski says AAG just finished a sleek spiral glass staircase in a $10 million New York apartment. AAG also continues to supply room dividers for these spaces. "Instead of putting up sheet rock, put up glass to create a divider that still lets light in. It makes a larger space." Designers are looking to improve upon the more common glass applications, such as shower enclosures, says Bernard Lax, CEO of Pulp Studio Inc., Beverly Hills, Calif. "Condos have to differentiate on what they're giving customers, because they are trying to pre-sell their projects," Lax says. "They are looking for more interesting products to put in shower enclosures, such as interesting patterns. Instead of standard clear glass, they're using acid etch; instead of plain finishes they're using added value finishes." Balik says GGI's offerings continue to increase to include more unique products for designers. "Currently we are supplying any one of our dozens of stocked specialty glass patters, satin etched glass … post-temperable painted glass in a variety of standard and custom colors, antique mirrors, satin etched mirrors." In addition to wall cladding, some condo designers are looking to use structural glass in interior lobbies, such as in SoHo's 40 Mercer that opened late 2007. Although the building features an inconspicuous exterior, visitors walk through the doors to see an array of interior glass, including a floor-to-ceiling art glass wall that runs the length of the lobby. "[Dlubak Corp., Blairsville, Pa.] supplied the laminated glass for the wall. The decorative silk screen film was applied at our facility," says Scott Haber, managing partner at W&W Glass Inc., Nanuet, N.Y. The 40 Mercer lobby also includes sections of glass flooring over an underground pool, with glass from Glaspro, Santa Fe Springs, Calif., and tempered, sandblasted wall patricians. Architects seem glass crazed on New York condo exteriors as well. The Link tower, now under construction, on West 52nd Street in Hell's Kitchen will be a 43-story glass-clad building with a structural glass cube entrance. Designer Philip Johnson tried to reinvent the iconic Glass House in a city setting with the Urban Glass House, a 12-story condo building in Lower Manhattan with oversized glass lites on its floor-to-ceiling glass curtain wall. Architects Herzog & De Meuron, embraced art on the Villiage's 40 Bond St., which features a 15,000-square-foot glass façade made up of picture frames of curved glass, completed in late 2007. The low-E, insulating glass windows are framed with green-tinted laminated curved glass with a frit pattern from Cricursa of Spain. But all good things must come to an end, and even Manhattan's luxury condo craze will begin to slow. "The big question is how sustainable this boom is," Schulman says. He expects a slowdown to come next year. Haber agrees. "There has been a big explosion, but we're not seeing a lot of new projects coming in." If and when the luxury condo market starts to like in Manhattan, companies say they will simply rely on their commercial and institutional work to keep busy. After all, it is the city that never sleeps.

Source: http://www.queenonline.com/en/features/live-wembley-stadium-25th-anniversary-spike-edney-interview/ 15 November 2011
Submitted by: Richard Orchard
How did you get the Queen gig?
Some years before, in the 70's I met Chris Taylor (Crystal), back then he was a lighting tech. In the early 80's I bumped into him again, by now he was working for Queen, first as Roger's drum tech then later as his personal assistant.
He told me that Queen were preparing to tour and that I should audition. I sent in a cassette containing some terrible recordings of me playing on various fairly nondescript tracks and expected nothing to happen really. The next thing I know is I get summoned to a "meeting" and I find myself being interviewed by the legendary Gerry Stickells. The interview consisted of 2 questions
1) "Do you have a valid passport?"
Answer - "Er, yes!"
2) "Do you want to tour the World with Queen?"
Answer…(Let me think about it…wouldn't like to get this wrong…) "Er, yes please!"
Gerry says "OK…you're in", then shuffles his papers and shows me out onto the street where I stood blinking in the sunlight wondering "WTF was that about?" The rest is history.
Who had you been playing with prior to Queen?
In the 70's I worked as a piano player for Soul Legend Ben E. King and Motown's Edwin Starr. In the early 80's I toured with The Boomtown Rats and Dexy's Midnight Runners as a trombonist. Then with a pop/soul band called Lynx (David Grant was their talented singer). I had just switched back to keyboards when this whole Queen malarkey started.
What was the format for a band rehearsal session for the Magic Tour, what happened on the first day when you all got together?
Having completed The Works Tour (without getting fired!) I had played on the demo of the song "It's A Kind of Magic" and a couple of other tracks in the studio for the Magic album. We'd also played Live Aid, so by then there was a fairly comfortable working relationship.
The key to a Queen rehearsal is being prepared because they like to move along quickly, normally for about half an hour… after lunch, of course! For me the most fun was working on the Rock & Roll medley, Tutti Frutti etc. At first I thought we were just jamming and having fun. I was really surprised when it ended up in the set! Now I realize how much that music meant to Freddie.
Were you involved in developing the set list for the Magic Tour?
Can't really remember – sorry. By that time I wasn't shy about making suggestions though!
The Magic shows are now seen as a classic tour - Queen at their stadium rocking best, was it enjoyable tour to play on?
The absolute best! Everything you could possibly imagine it would be and probably better.
The Wembley shows in particular must have been a proud moment for all, coming back to Wembley after Live Aid...
There was a palpable sense of expectation from the audience and the band that this tour would be "something special". I seem to remember the reviews from the first gig in Newcastle were pretty amazing…which was a pleasant surprise considering the band's less than cordial history with the UK press.
What did you feel the first time you walked on the stage to do sound-checks, looking out into such a legendary place?
Having had such a brilliant time at Live Aid, it felt like we were coming home.
What did you do prior to the gig, i.e. as regards keeping calm, warming up and sort of ritual etc?
The ritual is, soundcheck, dinner then sleep! On tour the body soon becomes accustomed to the explosion of adrenalin needed for a 2-hour performance at the same time most nights. So your system demands rest in the hour or so before because the adrenalin lasts for about 2-3 hours after the show and you can't sleep until at least 2 in the morning- that's when TV sets get thrown out of hotel room windows…traditionally!
How did the other band members and guests seem?
The guests were very excited. The band likes an atmosphere of serenity and calm backstage before the show so guests are often limited to close family members only. After the show all hell breaks loose!
Any nerves as that taped intro section of One Vision kicked into life?
Not really. We all knew the show was great and we were well played in at that point, so it was a question of doing a proper job with full enthusiasm.
How was the Friday night show for you, did the rain pose any issues for you personally?
No, because we had played in wet conditions at other gigs and it didn't seem to dampen either the audience or the band's spirit. Sometimes a good downpour can make it a bonding experience.
'Hammer To Fall' gave you a chance to join the band 'down the front' as it where...did you always look forward to that part of the show?
Yes indeed, and Freddie also graciously allowed me to play his piano in "Tutti Frutti" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". There's a shot somewhere of him coming over and sticking his butt on the top end of the keyboard...I hope it wasn't a critique!
Are there any particular memories from the two Wembley shows that stick out?
Inevitably the sea of hands aloft and clapping for Radio Ga Ga and We Will Rock You. Once experienced… never forgotten.
You are now heavily involved in many aspects of Queen 'live' as it were, Queen + Paul Rodgers, We Will Rock You and, of course, 46664. This has seen you perform with hundreds of different musicians; you must have some amazing highlights?
Phew! Indeed there have been some amazing magical moments especially the shows for Mandela's 46664 concerts in Cape Town and Hyde Park. I think you might have to wait for that book I've been promising to write forever. Great moments and memories, too many to count and I really hope we're not done yet!

Yes, I am using a wrench. Turns out, the one they sold me had TWO washers between the brass nut and the radiator tank, which caused the lower trans cooler line to leak coolant around it. Upper was normal. Didn't even notice until I returned it. Looks like a factory screw-up.
So far so good. Running at normal temps. Never gets higher than 210. At first it did, but I re-burped the system and caught a few stray air pockets. At that point it was at the 3/4 mark on the gauge at 98 to 100 degree outside temp. Made me nervous. Haven't had her in heavy traffic yet, and not confident she'll perform properly.
As far as the radiator fan is concerned... should it be sucking IN to the engine bay, or OUT of the engine bay? Right now it's blowing out. Which seems odd if you're driving forward, it's actually fighting the outside air.
Again, faulty relay is keeping the fan on all the time, which I guess is good on these hot days, but sucks every time I stop somewhere I have to pop the hood and pull the fuse.
I'm tired of fixing and swapping out items, I just want to drive it.
Thanks for the help.

Ectopic Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy occurs when the fertilized egg fails to implant correctly in the uterus, mostly implanting in the Fallopian tube. As the pregnancy grows it results in bleeding into the abdominal cavity which in some instances can be very severe. In addition to the bleeding pain is typically a feature. Women who have intrauterine contraceptive devices, previous pelvic infection or previous tubal surgery are at an increased risk.
A pelvic ultrasound is often all that is required to identify the pregnancy outside the uterine cavity. However if the pregnancy is early a blood test, which is often repeated 48 hours later, would help indicate whether an ectopic pregnancy is likely.
The standard treatment for an ectopic pregnancy is a laparoscopy which enables the pregnancy to be seen so that treatment can be performed. This treatment either involves removable of the pregnancy only but more commonly removal of the affected tube. In some circumstances medicines can be used to treat ectopic pregnancy under special circumstances.
I recently had a hysterectomy, Mr Farrell was available to provide me with advice by telephone, even when I went home.Yvonne (Sheffield)

Well folks, Asus is doing things right, naturally, as Asus' first-generation Android tablet is seeing its first post Ice Cream Sandwich update. Specifically, the new update for the tablet is labeled 126.96.36.199-20123012, but there's no changelog attached to it. Therefore, it's anyone's guess as to exactly what the new software update actually brings to the table. Nevertheless, it's presumed to bring forth all the necessary tweaks and bug fixes that should iron out its kinks.
Obviously, if you haven't seen that notification hitting your Asus Eee Pad Transformer, then you can manually check for it under the Android software update menu. This time around, let's hope that things are smooth sailing, especially for those who have been experiencing some nasty badies with the ICS update last month.

A silly punk reference wrapped around a tribute to a much admired beer.
Since neither John Lydon (Sex Pistols, Public Image Ltd), nor Sam Calagione (Dogfish Head brewery) would ever dream of being so unoriginal as to release a copy of someone else's work, we'll stick to being inspired and offering up an homage. Dogfish Head's Punkin is an excellent example of a particularly North American beer style, usually released to coincide with Halloween and the Thanksgiving season. Since we don't really do that sort of thing in New Zealand, we figured we'd bring a little of that festive mood to the New Zealand spring!
Punkin Image Ltd is a smoothly integrated blend of four "pumpkin pie spices" baked into a pie crust of rich malt complexity, and filled with spicy European hops and, of course, roast pumpkin! The pumpkin is subtle, but we find it nicely binds everything together. Try this beer with a slice of actual Pumpkin Pie for a real flavour explosion.
When Punkin Image Ltd made it's debut, it was the one of the first such beers released in New Zealand (predated only by the Mussel Inn Happy Jackal, of which we were unaware until recently, but is apparently a cracking beer). It has since been joined by quite a few. We're not really the trendsetter types, but we are stoked that our beer now has great company for Halloween! Try them all, but try ours first!

The state legislature of California passed a new law this summer, which takes effect in 2012. The bill, SB 48 requires social studies in California Schools to positively feature discussions about gay, bisexual and transgender individuals. These are mandated for all California students from grades K-12.
Currently, a referendum drive is underway to put this bill before the people of California for a vote, due in part to the following:
- Parents are given no choice in the curriculum – Parents with strong values cannot have their children opt out of these lessons that may directly conflict with their families' values.
- Specialty charter schools as well as individual teachers that have traditionally had the freedom to offer family-values oriented instruction may no longer be able to teach those values.
- At a time when we should be looking for ways to trim education costs, this bill will mandate the revision of all social studies books in use in the state for K-12th grade.

text: I just bought a 2008 STS-V and the steering seems odd. After steering in a sharp turn at low speeds like 25-35 mph the steering wheel doesn't return when I let it, the car continues in the turn. It feels as if the car has variable ratio steering where the ratio increases the more the wheel is turned and after a certain degree of steering wheel turn it becomes neutral there. There was a long sweeper off an expressway today where the car stayed on the curve without any input. Straight line driving is fine. Is this normal or does it need an alignment?

The film, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Matt Damon, opens with a vivid re-creation of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Rob Green gave an excellent demonstration when he let Clint Dempsey's 40th-minute shot trickle in.
Other salon devotees include Heather Locklear, Catherine Zeta Jones, Julia Ormond, Clint Black, and Tom Selleck.
Just think: Clint Eastwood looking at the camera and daring the health-insurance companies: "Go ahead, make my premium higher."
So Clint Eastwood blew it at the Republican National Convention.
I suppose even these backwoods beggars have to eat once in a while, Clint?
"Let's get a bottle and present it to Uncle Sim," suggested Clint.
"But you can't go and knock Dreer down for what he did to someone else," objected Clint.
Tom said Clint meant "biscuit" and that this wasn't a bakery.
But the knocking wasn't heard inside and, after a moment, Amy turned the knob and walked in, followed by Clint.

WSJ's Kirkpatrick baselessly claimed Clinton "moved right" on abortion, health care
Research ››› ››› BEN ARMBRUSTER
On the February 17 edition of Fox News' The Journal Editorial Report, Wall Street Journal editorial page deputy editor Melanie Kirkpatrick declared that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) has "moved to the right on abortion" and "also moved right on health care," but she offered no evidence to support these assertions. In fact, as Media Matters for America has documented, Clinton has been a consistent supporter of abortion rights throughout her political career. The Chicago Tribune also noted recently that Clinton "has made health care coverage for all a central theme" of her campaign for the Democratic nomination for president.
Critics often cite Clinton's views on reproductive choice as an example of her repositioning. For instance, CBS News contributor Gloria Borger* has described Clinton as purportedly shifting her rhetoric about abortion in a "transparent" effort to recover the so-called "values vote." And MSNBC host Chris Matthews accused Clinton of "trying to play it safe" on the issue by taking a "poll-tested path." Matthews pointed to her assertion in a July 25, 2006, speech that abortion should be "safe, legal, and rare" as an example of her purportedly changing position on the issue. But far from representing a point of departure from earlier statements, Clinton's 2006 remarks were consistent with those she made in a January 22, 1999, speech. While first lady, she said: "But all too often, generally because of the loudest voices, the American people don't hear explained the efforts that we're engaged in to continue to work with people from all different walks of life to make abortion safe, legal, and rare."
Other media figures, such as Fox News congressional correspondent Major Garrett, have claimed that in a January 24, 2005, speech, Clinton "appeared to soften her historically hard-line defense of current abortion law by praising the role that religious faith has played in promoting teen abstinence." But while Clinton did praise religion and teen abstinence in the speech and described abortion as "a sad, even tragic choice to many, many women," she at no point backed away from her defense of abortion rights and reiterated her support for keeping abortion legal. Referring to the Putting Prevention First Act (H.R. 4192), Clinton said: "It provides a roadmap to the destination of fewer unwanted pregnancies -- to the day when abortion is truly safe, legal, and rare." Moreover, as Media Matters noted, in her 1996 book, It Takes a Village (Simon & Schuster), Clinton wrote, "I think we need to do everything in our power to discourage sexual activity and encourage abstinence."
Further, on January 27, the Tribune quoted Clinton stating that universal health care would be a central theme to her presidential bid:
"One of the goals that I will be presenting ... is health insurance for every child and universal health care for every American," Clinton said on Sunday. "That's a very major part of my campaign."
From the February 17 edition of Fox News' The Journal Editorial Report:
GIGOT: So assuming that she needs to do this -- that is, move left on the war to win the Democratic presidential nomination -- it's going to hurt her in the general election potentially, if she gets it?
KIRKPATRICK: Oh -- yeah, absolutely. It's just another example, as [Journal editorial page deputy editor] Dan [Henninger] is suggesting, of her lacking the courage of her convictions. She's moved to the right on abortion, she's -- to the extent that no one less than Kate Michelman is supporting John Edwards instead of the female candidate.
GIGOT: Former head of the National Abortion Rights [Action] League [now NARAL Pro-Choice America].
KIRKPATRICK: Yes. And she's also moved right on health care and so, the question has to arise among the voters' minds: What does she stand for?
GIGOT: All right, thanks, Melanie.
This item previously asserted that Chris Matthews had stated that Clinton had purportedly shifted her stance in a "transparent" effort to recover the so-called "values vote." In fact, it was Gloria Borger who said a statement by Clinton was a "transparent" effort to recover the "values vote" during a discussion with Matthews on The Chris Matthews Show. Borger was referring to Clinton's statement that "[w]e can support a woman's right to choose that makes abortion safe, legal, and rare, and reduces the number of abortions." Media Matters for America regrets the error.

The French company Mavic has released three sets of new 29er mountain bike wheels for 2014. This isn't the bike company's first step into the twenty niner market. In 2008 they made the TN 719 rim. Things have evolved a bit since then though, and for the new season they have released a brand-new line of Crossmax 29er wheels. And man do they look great.
The new wheels appear to be similar to the Crossmax 26in wheels released last year, but these 29er wheels are more than simply an increase of the 26in wheel size. Mavic wanted to steer clear from scaling up the smaller mountain bike wheels, and instead did the research to really process the extra stresses the components of a wheel are under on the big wheel sizes. This has given them access to enter the twenty niner market with very capable mountain bike wheels. Mavic placed stiffness at the top of the list when they set about designing these Crossmax twenty niner wheels. They researched that a 26in wheel is 39% stiffer than similar 29in wheels, and a weight increase of 10%. This has always been the biggest challenge facing the twenty niner wheels, and as mountain bike wheels are a bike component that greatly impact on handling and ride performance, which is why they now they needed to get it right.
Development of the Crossmax SLR Wheels
They went to huge lengths designing the new Mavic Crossmax SLR 29, the higher end wheelset. Their first prototype were some up-sized Crossmax 26in wheels, but quickly figured out it proved unreliable and wasn't stiff enough, with spokes snapping during test riding. Their next step was to add more spokes, which resolved the issue of stiffness, but the weight increased to much to be reasonable fun mountain bike wheels. So they tried stronger spokes, which partly solved the problem.
Another step in the process was to look at the rim itself. So they increased the thickness of the rim, adding 0.6mm of metal. Along with the ISM-3D spoke machining this step cured the problem, without a weight penalty and increasing the stiffness of the wheel. However, this rim design only displaced the stress to a different part of the wheel. They had spokes snapping on the rear wheel of the drive side. So intuitively, they fixed this problem by simply bead blasting the spokes. Now the wheels sailed through their testing procedures. The finished product weighs 1620g.
Crossmax ST 29 wheels
They didn't put as much extensive research into this model, so it's simply a larger version of the ST 26, but they confidently say exceeded their targets in reliability and performance. Which helped it make the transition to twenty niner. Which would lead us to believe the Crossmax 26in wheels are a bit overbuilt. The Mavic ST falls in the mid-range with regards to price and weight. They are the mountain bike wheels directed at the all-mountain rider, built to be stout enough for crushing rock gardens but still light enough for fast XC style riding. A challenge for sure, but one it seems they've accomplished. And impressively, it's only a small weight increase over the racy SLR at 1670g.
Mavic used the same hub but the rim is where changes are noticed. The standard ISM treatment is used and they built with round Zircal spokes, with 24 on front and 20 on back. And the last wheelset is the entry-level, a wheel to be set up on mid-level 29ers. Standard spokes and nipples feature alongside a different hub and freehub and a reinforced rim. Weight is 2020g. All the hubs across the range of twenty niner wheels are fully compatible with all the different axle standards being used. Several spacers come with the wheels to easily fit 15mm adapters to all the possible variables of axles sizes you could possible have. The rims are tubeless-ready and valves with removable cores.

USC Forward Tina Thompson Named Pac-10 Women's Basketball Player of the Week For The Third Time This Season
WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - USC senior forward Tina Thompson has been named the Pacific-10 Conference Women's Basketball Player of the Week, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced today.
Thompson, a 6-foot-3 native of Los Angeles, Calif. had two double-doubles in road wins over Arizona and Arizona State last week.
Against Arizona she scored 26 points and had 14 rebounds, going 11-for-12 from the foul line. She also posted two steals, two assists, and one block against the Wildcats.
At Arizona State, Thompson had 22 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocked shots.
Thompson's 48 points last week gave her 1,941 career points, just 16 points short of moving into fifth place on the Pac-10 career scoring list. Her 26 rebounds moved her into fourth place on the Pac-10 all-time rebounding list with 1,020.
Thompson has scored 21-plus points in 12 of USC's 15 games this season and has reached at the least the 25-point mark eight times.
This is Thompson's third Pac-10 honor this year, and the fifth in her career.

- - Is it ok to leave my dog and my cats alone for a week? (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-behavior/484481-ok-leave-my-dog-my-cats-alone-week.html)
Is it ok to leave my dog and my cats alone for a week?
I have someone coming over 3 times a day to let the dog out and feed her as well as my cats. I am just worried my dog won't do anything weird like attack my cats will she? She doesn't do it now at all I can be at work for 10 hours and all of my pets have free roam of the house while I am gone, and they will while I"m on vacation.
She is VERY well behaved in home as a dog she never chews anything up at all even with being able to go anywhere, the cats are always fine, the dog will chase them a bit once in awhile but nothing too crazy. I am just worried because it's the first dog I have ever owned and left at home with cats. Does anyone have any experiences with this?
Personally, I've never had a problem with my shepherds and my cats. If he/she is/were a Siberian Husky, then I think you'd have reason for concern. But that's just my experience.
I don't think I would feel comfortable leaving the dog with free access to the cats and such limited human interaction. I would separate them (cats in a bedroom with the door shut).
Personally, if I'm gone that long, I hire a young adult, usually who's still living with mom and dad to come house sit for me. I like to have someone there with my animals and monitor the house. They typically like the break from mom and dad, too, and I'm more comfortable all around.
I admit I waited to leave the dog until he was almost 3, and I did make sure it was someone that could handle a GSD. But I also had a labrador that I trusted implicitly with the cats. I know Rocket wouldn't hurt the cats if I were gone that long, but I wouldn't want him alone without any human there for a week.
How is their relationship? Do they sleep together at night? Lay together during the day? Or do the cats only tolerate or even dislike the dog?
A coworker did something similar to what you are asking, it was with a JRT and cats that had been living together for years, it did not turn out well for one of the cats. I personally would not give them free run together and would try to find somebody to stay over.
It sounds like a recipe for disaster.
The scary part is when the dog get bored
uh......maybe I will lock the cats in my bedroom
I couldn't do it....I agree I'd find somebody to house sit for the week or board the dog. There are just too many things that can go wrong and that's not something I would want to come home to :(
I wouldn't worry about the cats so much if there had never been an issue before.
I would NOT like to leave my dogs with out a ton more 'supervision' and the social aspect of being with people.
I know that I work out deals with my friends with dogs. And why I PURPOSELY socialize my dogs and have them out with lots of dogs making friends.
Because when I DO have to go (and I also have cats that I easily can leave at the house) I take my dogs OVER TO MY FRIENDS and they have a blast with a week long trip to stay with their best doggy friends!
I take my friends dogs when they have to leave, they take mine when I have to leave. We are all happy, dogs are all safe, we don't have to add a $$$$ for a kennel. And, frankly, my dogs have a vacation too!

The brain is found to be far more "plastic" than previously thought, able to rewire itself after damage from a stroke or to strengthen neural connections or "maps" when learning, like memorising the dialogue of a play or learning to play the guitar. Brands map themselves in memory structures in a similar manner at various quality and quantity levels.

A commenter states:
I clearly think something is there on the side of hereditarian causation —– but both my moral and intellectual instincts can't help but lead me to believe that 'proving' as much is, if not exactly beside the point, woefully lacking in claiming to be the 'solution' needed.
My reply:
Either hereditarians are correct or not. If we assume that they are, is it reasonable for them to try to demonstrate this? Here's what the popular discourse on this subject looks like. You tell me.
He goes on to ask about the possible cultural bias in IQ test.
My reply:
IQ differences are meaningless, per se. The issue is g. Here's the g nexus:
If a difference consistently looks like a g difference (phenotypically and endophenotypically) and predicts like a g difference (industrially, academically, and otherwise socially), and factor analysis show that a g interpretation is consistent with the data, it's a g difference.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
I accompanied Starpulse.com writer Evan Crean to a Sept. 7 press screening of "Moneyball," starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. Moneyball: the Art of Winning an Unfair Game is one of my favorite sports books, and I was eager to see how a book that mixes the history of sabermetrics – baseball's statistics-based evaluation method – with a year-in-the-life look at Oakland Athletics general manager Billy Beane and the 2002 season would translate on the screen.
The answer: not all that well.
"Moneyball" moves incredibly slowly, crawling through dialogue scenes. That's especially infuriating considering the script was written by Aaron Sorkin, writer of "SportsNight," "The West Wing," "Charlie Wilson's War" and "The Social Network," among others. Sorkin's dialogue works best when it's quick-paced and self-referential to the point of almost being cyclical:
For some reason, every dialogue scene in "Moneyball" begins and ends with extended periods of people staring at each other. They don't talk. They don't communicate non-verbally. They rarely emote in any way. They just look at each other. Cutting these moments would have taken 15 minutes off a 133-minute film.
Adding to the length is a completely unnecessary (albeit historically factual) epilogue in which Beane is offered the highest-paying GM job in history to join the Red Sox and, Beane (insanely) turns it down. The ending following that scene is not nearly satisfying enough to justify that scene being anything more than a caption or two at the end.
"Moneyball" characterizes Beane in the best possible light. Pitt does a fine job playing a man who tries a new approach to baseball because he logically can't find a way to make the so-called "five tools" evaluation method work when richer teams can steal his best players. The Beane in Michael Lewis' book is as shrewd as Pitt's is, but also far crazier.
The seminal scene in the book is one in which Beane desperately tries to force his way into an Expos-Red Sox trade so he can force the Red Sox to give him then-minor-league player Kevin Youkilis. The Expos don't go for it (obviously). That scene is nowhere to be found in the movie, replaced by a far craftier move in which Beane purposefully gives up one of his own less-useful relievers to lower interest in a more-useful reliever he wants from another team.
The movie also portrays Beane as a man betrayed by the MLB player development system. The Mets offered him a huge contract provided he pass on a full ride to Stanford, Beane took it but never achieved the baseball superstardom the Mets assured him he would. Was Beane screwed over? Probably. Could Beane simply be a head case that no evaluation system would have caught? Also, probably. And seeing the mania of the grown-up Beane in the book shows that in a way the movie does not.
Regarding the rest of the cast, Philip Seymour Hoffman is wasted as manager Art Howe, another role composed mostly of staring, with a few drawn-out conversations for good measure. Jonah Hill stifles his explosive comedic side to play baseball-newcomer and tech-wizard Peter Brand, a far more wishy-washy version of Paul DePodesta, current Mets VP of player development and the man Brand's character was based on.
Chris Pratt shines as Scott Hatteburg, injured catcher turned unlikely first baseman, capturing the sadness that accompanies career-ending injuries and the desperate hope that drives players to try anything just to stay in the game a bit longer.
The funniest lines come from Brent Jennings as Ron Washington, infield and first base coach. His scenes with Pitt and Pratt are the only ones in which Sorkin's witty dialogue really delivers.
"Moneyball" succeeds at one thing the book did not: depicting the hostility with which the baseball world reacted to Beane's new evaluation method. Pitt's scenes with the scouting department – especially Grady Fuson, played by Ken Medlock – capture exactly how unwilling baseball had been to embrace sabermetrics.
Since "Moneyball," however, most teams have accepted it and incorporated it at least in part into their player development strategies. And there's no zealot like a convert.
Baseball has gone stat-crazy in the last 10 years. While some previously ignored statistics – OPS and its constituents the main ones – provide new, usable and otherwise unattainable knowledge about a player, many do not.
My least favorite is the comically named VORP, or "value over replacement player." VORP measures how much better a player is against a hypothetical average player at the same position. The only problem is that there's no such thing as an "average shortstop" (for example). There are just shortstops, each with his own strengths and weaknesses. And if your team needs a shortstop that season, you're going after the best available shortstop. If he's not great compared with some made-up player, who cares? A bad shortstop is still better than no shortstop.
Another useless statistic is sabermetrics-inventor Bill James' "Temperature Gauge," a quantified summary of how "hot" or "cold" a player is. What new information does this stat give? If a player is 12-for-17 with four home runs over the last five games, do I really need another number to tell me he's doing well? And if a pitcher has given up eight home runs and has an ERA over 6.00 in his last three starts, do I really need another number to tell me he's struggling? Statistics need to impart information that observation cannot or they serve no purpose.
The movie ends with a caption saying, "Billy Beane is still looking for that last win." Beane's daughter sings "you're such a loser, Dad" repeatedly while the caption plays.
The A's have only made the playoffs twice since 2002, with neither team reaching the World Series. Since winning the AL West in 2006, the A's have finished higher than third exactly once.
Beane is not a Godsend to baseball, he's just found a system that kind of worked for a little while, and now it doesn't. Beane's legacy is that other teams (including the Red Sox) have used his system to achieve far more than he has.
Does that make him a loser? Maybe not.
But it sure doesn't make him a winner.

Matt, you have missed the insights and meaning of the film entirely. I hope no one is paying you for this column because they wasted their money if they did. Beane is a winner, he took a team that should not compete and made a team that was better than most, adding their name to the records book along the way. He feels he is a loser because he didn't win the final game but that is his shortsightedness…and yours. His legacy is that teams, such as Boston, took on his POV and made it work to a greater degree leaving a legacy which will not denied. Sorry that you were unable to understand the meaningfulness of his efforts.

This is my way of making appam,we all like it to have with coconut milk sweetened with jaggery and flavoured with cardamom! This may not be the authentic way of making appam with yeast or coconut/coconut milk, but its a fool proof recipe,which gives you soft,crisp and lacy appams. The fenugreek seeds and cooked rice/aval(poha) does the magic. If you want coconut in this same recipe, just add 1/4 cup of grated coconut while grinding.
Appam recipe
Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Breakfast
Prep Time: 12 hrs | Cook time: 5 mins per appam | Makes: 20
Idly rice - 1 & 1/2 cup
Urad dal/vellai ulundhu(whole) - 1/8 cup
Fenugreek seeds/vendhayam - 1 tblsp
Salt - As needed
Cooked rice or Poha/aval - 1/4 cup
Cooking soda - 1 generous pinch
- Update: You can soak everything together and grind everything together too. But make sure it is ground really smooth. (OR) Soak both rice together(soak aval if you are using) and urad dal, fenugreek seeds together for 3 hrs. First grind urad dal and fenugreek together till smooth and fluffy adding around 1/2 cup water,then add rice,enough water and grind till smooth(add cooked rice if u are adding ,add while you add rice).
- Mix salt and keep for fermentation overnight.
- Batter should be little bit watery than idly batter(just pouring consistency) and should not be heavy,should be light.
- Before you decide to make aapam,add the cooking soda and stir well.
- Heat a heavy bottomed kadai and pour 1 1/2 laddle of batter.
- Just spread in the sides of the pan like we spread dosa,leaving little batter still in the middle( I find this method easier and quicker).
- This will give you thin edges,just like if we rotate the pan. If you are convenient in rotating the pan,then hold the two sides of the pan and rotate in a circular motion to get a thin edge.
- If you use oil just drizzle a few drops after u make the aapam,if you do so before then batter will not spread evenly.
- Cook covered in a medium low flame and serve hot with your choice of side dish,stew or kurma or simply coconut milk!
- If the batter is too thick,it wont get cooked properly in the middle, so dilute with water for a pouring consistency.
- Add sodium bi carbonate carefully,dont add too much as it will lead to appam stuck to the pan!
- Even adding too little cooking soda will give you un cooked appams at the middle.
I like mine,slightly browned and crisp,so after I open the lid,I keep the flame in high to turn it brown,so its ur choice to brown it and have it crispy or have it soft and white…

WPVI-TV, the-ABC owned station in Philadelphia, plans to make operational a new HD digital news production facility in September.
The station currently is equipping the facility with a full complement of Grass Valley HD technology, including system infrastructure, digital news production, live production, master control and signal routing.
WPVI-TV became the first station in its market to broadcast local news in HD in 2006. The new Grass Valley systems now being put in place will support a comprehensive file-based production workflow for the station's local newscasts and other programs broadcast in the 720p HD format.
For daily news production, the station will rely on a Grass Valley storage area network consisting of mirrored K2 Summit servers and 1000 hours of mirrored HD storage. The news production department will implement the full Grass Valley Aurora news production platform, including Aurora Ingest, 75 seats of Aurora Browse and Aurora Play software modules. HD editing will be completed with nine Grass Valley Aurora Edit and a dozen EDIUS nonlinear editing workstations.
To handle all of its daily newscasts, the station is installing a fully redundant Grass Valley Ignite HD integrated production system — complete with a 4M/E Kayak HD production switcher. Commercial insertion will be accomplished with a Grass Valley K2 master control server system with 1000 hours of storage and a Grass Valley BaseCamp browse system, which is integrated with a PathFire Digital Media Gateway system to ingest news feeds, syndicated programs and other content.
In-house HD signal distribution will be based on a newly installed Grass Valley Trinix 352 x 256 HD router, complete with embedded audio on all video paths.
