Stuffed meatballs in lettuceAnd the history of a typically Dutch snack, the 'frikandel'
The original recipe is called Om Frickedillen in Krop-salaet te maken (to make frickedillen in lettuce). According to Dutch dictionaries, a ' frikadel' is obsolete for meatball, and 'frikandel' is vernacular and incorrect. The Frickedillen from the recipe below are indeed meatballs, prepared with minced veal. But my dictionaries are wrong about the frikandel, which has a particular meaning since the fifties of the last century: it is a typically Dutch snackfood. It's an arrow-straight and thin sausage without skin, made from unrecognizable meat that is pressed through a funnel. I once asked in a snackbar if the man sold frikadels. "No lady, don't sell'em." He did sell frikandels, with an 'n'. He also had'"hot balls", but that those meatballs were once called frikadel, was new to him.
A short history in reverse of the frika(n)del
So, you can buy the modern frikandel in any Dutch snack-bar. The sausage is deepfried and served with mayonnaise, tomato-ketchup and chopped raw onions. The meat used for the Dutch frikadel seems to be a bit of a mystery. Some maintain it was originally cow's udder and pig snout. These used to be delicacies, but nowadays in the Netherlands you find them only unrecognisably in (maybe) the Dutch frikadel and tins of cat- or dogfood. This is a pity, udder and snout really tasty. I once prepared a demi-salé pigsnout a friend had brought for me out of France: delicious! So there is nothing with these meats being used for sausage. Be real, do you think prepared foodstuff uses the prime cuts of meat?
20th and 21st century
As you have read above, the modern frikadel is a long, thin, deepfried sausage. The concept was 'invented' in 1954 by butcher's assistant Gerrit de Vries. A few years later (1959) Jan Bekkers from Deurne adapted the recipe for the sausage and voilà, the snackbar frikadel was born! (the frikadel on Wikipedia). In modern Dutch cookbooks you won't find any recipes for frikadel, and the industry is rather vague on the recipe.
19th and early 20th century
In older cookbooks you can find recipes for frikadellen, but these are for Indonesian meatloaf or meatballs, or even little pancakes with whole corn/maize kernels, calledalso pergedel djagoeng (very tasty). In the cookbook of 'De Amsterdamse huishoudschool' (The Amsterdam school of housecraft) by C.J. Wannée there is a recipe for Indonesian frikadel with crabmeat and lobster. Not a cheap snack at all! (my copy is the 18th impression of Wannée's book, 1977).
17th and 18th century
The recipes for frikadellen in the seventeenth and eighteenth century, they were called frickedillen in those days, are more like modern meatballs. They are all with veal, like in the recipe below from de Dutch cookbook De verstandige kock (The Sensible Cook, see below).
The Verstandige kock has several recipes for frickedillen. In the original edition from 1667 there are three recipes, later editions have four. The first frickedil is a simple meatball, the recipe is titled 'Om Frickedillen te maken' (to make meatballs). The meatball is made sith veal, mace, nutmeg and salt, and optionally some lemon or orange peel. No egg or breadcrumbs. Another recipe ('Om Frickedillen noch andere te maken' - Another way to make meatballs) bears some resemblance to the modern frikadel. No citrus peel, and the chopped meat is formed around "een stucxken Speck langhwerpigh gesneden" (a piece of bacon cut as a long strip) with parsley. So here we have an oblong meatball! The third recipe is absent from the first edition. The title 'Om Frickedillen te maken sonder net' (to make meatballs without caul) indicates that usually meatballs were wrapped in a caul to keep the meat together. In this recipe the meatball is composed the modern way, with egg and eggyolks, and breadcrumbs, pepper, mace and nutmeg. But the preparation is different: an oblong ball is formed, this is first cooked, covered in eggwhites, and then fried in butter.
Middle Ages
Going back further still, to the first Dutch collections of culinary recipes in the fifteenth and sixteenth century, there is but one recipe for frikadel, which is called a fricotel. This fricotel is very different from its successors. It is made with veal, but not with minced meat. Calf's liver is cut into thin strips. After being spiced with herbs and spices, these strips are wound around a skewer and roasted before an open fire (the source is a manuscript in the Royal Academy in Gent, ms KANTL Gent 15, vol.3, recipe 233, edited by W.L. Braekman in 1986, see also my online edition of this manuscript). After roasting, the fricotellen were simmered in a sauce with wine and vinegar. To serve, they were cut in slices, and presented with slices of bacon between the slices of fricotel.
Thus endeth the short history of the frikadel in reverse.
The Sensible Cook (De verstandige kock)
The recipe for frickedillen on this page is from a seventeenth-century cookbook, De verstandige kock. This was the first new cookbook after the relatively productive time of the fifteenth and sixteenth century in the Netherlands. In France the first 'modern' cookbook appeared in 1651 (La Varenne, Le cuisinier François). In the Netherlands the only known printed seventeenth-century cookbook is a little cookbook that appeared as addition to the third edition of De verstandige Hovenier (The Sensible Gardener)from 1667. It was called Den verstandigen Kock (The Sensible Cook) and was followed by De verstandige Confituurmaker (The Sensible Confectioner), and in 1668 there's a third part, De Hollandtse Slacht-tydt (The Dutch Butchering Time). Again they were not available as cookbook, but as the third part to Het Vermakelyck Landt-Leven (The Enjoyable Country Life). This was meant for rich patricians from Amsterdam who wanted to keep a country estate. These estates had beautifully designed gardens, but also extensive kitchen gardens in which flowers, vegetables and fruit were grown for use in the kitchen and to decorate the house. The first part of Het Vermakelyck Landt-Leven learns how to plan the country estates. The second part is on the maintenance of the gardens, and the third part learns how to use the produce from the estate. Apart from the three culinary texts, this part also contains a text on making medicine and perfume, and another on keeping bees.
Until 1802 De verstandige kock appeared seven times as independent text, together with De Hollandtse Slacht-tydt en De verstandige Confituurmaker. (source: the introduction to the facsimile-edition of the edition of 1670, Joop Witteveen, 1993). In 2006 Marleen Willebrands published a translation in modern Dutch, based on the 1669 edition. The original text can be found on her website.
Even though De verstandige kock is a 'modern' cookbook, the recipe below still shows some medieval traits: de sauce is thickened with bread crumbs, and is brought to taste with a sour liquid.

|To make meatballs in head-lettuce.
Take chopped veal with veal-fat a little fatter than usual. Spice it with nutmeg and a little mace, pepper and salt as appropiate. Knead it together. Then take as many of the tender heads as you please, and clean off the outer leaves. [And] then wash it clean, and open up the inner leaves of the head. Take then as many eggs as you have heads. Make also as many little meatballs, and place in the middle of each [meatball] the yolk of an egg. Put [the meatball] inside the head,and tie with a string. And when the water boils put them in the pot. When it is done you could add to the broth a little finely crushed rusk and some butter, some gooseberries or unripe grapes or verjuice, according to everyone's liking.
Modern adaptation of the recipe
The lettuce heads should not be very small (so no 'little gem'), because the meatballs will be rather large because of the whole egg yolk in them. As you read above at the recipe for 'meatballs without call', it was still not usual in the seventeenth century to add egg and breadcrumbs to meatballs. To prevent a meatball from falling apart, it was wrapped in a caul or, like in the recipe below, in something like a head of lettuce. But if you want to, just add some egg and breadcrumbs anyway.
For 4 persons.
400 gram (1 pound) minced veal
50 gram (1/4 cup) suet of veal, finely chopped
4 heads lettuce
4 hardboiled eggs
nutmeg, mace, pepper, salt to taste
1 raw egg crumbled rusk or toasted breadcrumbs for the meatballs
2 (or more) crumbled rusks or toasted breadcrumbs for the sauce
50 gram (1/4 cup) butter
1 deciliter (1/2 cup) juice of gooseberries or unripe grapes, or verjuice or apple vinegar
Preparation in advance
Wash the heads of lettuce, drain well. Remove the outer leaves. You can use these the next day for a salad (not with the meatballs, that would be too much of the same). Prepare the minced veal: knead the meat with chopped fat, spices, and the bread crumbs or crumbled rusk. Remove the yolks from the hardboiled eggs. If you want to, you can use the chopped egg whites as garnish later on. Make four meatballs, and carefully put in the middle of each ball a hardboiled yolk. Remove if necessary some of the inner leaves of the heads of lettuce. Place in the middle of each head a meatball. Bind with kitchen twine.
Lay the stuffed heads of lettuce side by side in a pan in which they fit snugly. Pour in some water. It should reach halfway. Bring to the boil, and let the heads simmer, covered, for seven minutes. Carefully turn them over, simmer for seven more minutes. Drain the meatballs-in-lettuce but keep them warm. Reduce the simmering-liquid by one-third. Bind the sauce with the crumbled rusk (or use toasted bread-crumbs). Bring to the boil once more. Season to taste with some sour liquid like apple-vinegar, gooseberry- or grapejuice. The sauce should taste slightly sour.
To serve
Remove the kitchen twine from the heads of lettuce. Put the heads on a decorative dish. If you wish, you can cut the heads in half, to show the yellow surprise in the middle.
Pour some of the sauce around the meatballs, serve the remainder in a sauce boat.

- Manuscript KANTL Gent 15: on this site there is an edition in progress of this manuscript, with translations in modern Dutch and English. W.L.

- The Sensible Cook: Dutch Foodways in the Old and the New World, English translation of De verstandige kok and introduction by Peter Rose (Syracuse University Press, 1998). This is the only English edition available. As to the adapted recipes, I sometimes disagree with her. For example, she never mentions the direct source of the adapted recipes, nor quotes the original text (not even in translation) if the source is other than the Sensible Cook. This makes it difficult to judge the adaptations. Just take her version of Meatballs in head lettuce: Was another version of this recipe used, or else what were her reasons to leave out mace in the meatballs and the sour liquid like grapejuice, gooseberries or verjuice to finish off the sauce and the rusk to thicken it? Moreover, she suggests serving boiled potatoes with the meatballs. In the seventeenth century bread would have accompanied this dish, potatoes only became staple food at the end of the eighteenth century. Her suggestion to insert raw egg yolks in the meatballs instead of cooked ones is interesting. Indeed the recipe doesn't mention whether the yolks are raw or cooked. I have chosen cooked egg yolks because that's what I know from other recipes. And how do you keep those raw yolks whole whilst packing them in meat?

CrossRoads Marketplace honored with a "Best in the Business" award
YPSILANTI - Ordering lunch, room service, a diverse selection of foods and a smiling and helpful staff. Sounds like something you'd receive at a fine hotel.
It's also something you can expect from CrossRoads Marketplace.
The National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS) recently named the EMU convenience store one of the "Best of the Business" C-Stores (convenience stores). The trophy award, recognizing Crossroads' outstanding efforts in the category of marketing and merchandising, was presented July 11 at the NACUFS annual conference in New Orleans.
"Since we won, the morale of the staff has drastically increased," said Robert Campbell, manager of CrossRoads Marketplace. "They're all excited about it."
"We feel very honored to be elected by a national panel for this outstanding marketing and merchandising award from the best of the best," said Anne Klaes, assistant director of dining services. "The manager of CrossRoads Marketplace, Robert Campbell, and his staff submitted their store to be considered for this award and this is the first time that any of the C-stores have won this type of honor."
Like many convenience stores, Crossroads Marketplace stocks the staples, such as bread and milk, frozen foods and toiletries. The store even rents movies. But the store, located in Hoyt Conference Center, separates itself by offering a hot food bar that includes Mexican, Chinese, Italian and Indian dishes to cater to EMU's diverse student population.
"On weekends, students who don't go home always want meals they get at home," Campbell explained.
And for traditional American cuisine?
"Fried chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans," he said. "We do listen to what students have to say and it works."
Part of that consumer interest is developed through taste tests of store products, prize raffles (bicycles and mini-refrigerators have been some of the items given away) and themed events, such as for Super Bowl Sunday and the NCAA basketball tournament. One student received a $100 gift certificate to shop at Target.
Room service is used by an average of 60-80 students a night during the school year, with most orders (chicken Caesar and Philly cheese steak are perennial favorites) coming from residents of the Village and Hoyt, Pittman and Hill halls.
The secret to the store's success?
"It's all about customer service and retaining your employees. If you retain your employees as long as you can, they grow to serve their customers," Campbell said. "I have had students six, seven, eight semesters. They've created that bond with their customers."
The store will definitely enter next year's NACUFS contest, but probably in the category of service application (customer service), Campbell said.
"I want to do what we've been doing and then try to exceed that," Campbell said.

I have been looking up ptosis grades because I've been told I would need a lift and other say I don't! So I looked up how to identify what grade I am and I think I'm only a level 1!! I am 22, 3 year old son who I breast feed for 23 moths. I'm 5'8 and 150lbs. I want to be a full D or small DD. do you think I can get away with only implants and no lift? Or a small lift and not a full lift?
Ptosis Grade 1 No Lift? (photo)
Doctor Answers 20
Ptosis of the breasts after pregnancy usually requires some lifting
It's great that you have been educating yourself about breast ptosis and the different degrees of ptosis as we think of it. The importance of grading or classifying anything like ptosis really lies in the way that such a classification can help guide treatments so that results are optimal. That is really the main issue. I always try to encourage my patients to "play to win, and not play to not lose." In other words, we should focus on what our expected/desired result is and do whatever it takes to achieve that result as opposed to simply deciding ahead of time "I don't want this procedure or that procedure" for whatever reasons. With regard to breast lifting, the obvious downside with some of the procedures is that there will be more scarring and they are more invasive than others. However, in those instances of more "comprehensive" procedures, they will also deliver a more "comprehensive" result. That is more lifting and repositioning of structures, more tightening of the breast envelope, more projection of the breast shape, and in some instances a better ability to correct asymmetries. It's up to each patient and her surgeon to decide which procedure then fits her needs overall the best.
Having said all of that, with respect to your breasts, from the images that you show, I would agree that the degree of ptosis of your NIPPLE is relatively mild, perhaps at or slightly below the fold, but you have a fair amount of what we would call glandular ptosis. That is the breast glandular mound rests below the fold to an appreciable degree, and the arc length from your nipple or areolar edge to the fold is long. This comes from loosening of the supportive ligaments in the breast and of the skin. It is important to recognize this because without any tightening of these structures, simply putting a breast implant in may cause the appearance of just a bigger sagging breast. If we use a large enough implant to "fill up" the loose tissue and put those ligaments back on a little tension, then this may give a satisfactory appearance, but sometimes this requires an implant that is way larger than a lady prefers with regard to volume and size preference. In those instances our only options are to put in the size of implant that we like from a size perspective and do no lift and accept whatever increase in tone and fullness of the breast as well as the position of the nipples that we get from just that, or we put in the size implant that we like AND do some form of lift to create the proper tone and fullness as well as put things like the nipple and breast mound in the proper location. I hope this all makes sense; I know it can be confusing sometimes. As for your breasts, I would have concern that unless you went with a fairly large implant and a dual plane technique, you may still have the appearance of ptosis of the breasts. You may be happier with a periareolar lift or even a small vertical, or lollipop lift, in the end, because those would allow for some tightening of breast tissues and prevent the implant from settling into the bottom of what is a loose breast envelope and leaving you with persistent flattening of the upper part of the breast and all of your breast volume at the bottom.
This should at least give you some background information to take with you to a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced with all types of lift techniques and is comfortable allowing you to decide what your goals and personal expectations are. With this, hopefully you can discuss your issues intelligently and arrive at a plan with your surgeon that will make you the happiest. In the end, if you decide that all you want is a breast enlargement, even if you didn't get the fullest breasts on top, I think you should have that option offered to you as long as you understand the implications and have realistic expectations. Good luck!
How do I know if my breast droop needs a lift or just implants
Although your droop is grade one by nipple position, the lower breast has droop. If you are OK with a little droop of the gland you may be a great candidate for implants alone without a lift. I would recommend using 3D imaging to help your plastic surgeon communicate the degree of droop that would remain after implants alone to help you with this decision.

Breast Lift or Not?
-Although your nipple position might be in an acceptable location, you do appear to have a fair amount of glandular ptosis, which is not uncommon after pregnancy and breast feeding. Glandular ptosis refers to an excess amount of sagging breast tissue below the nipple and inframammary crease.
-Therefore, breast augmentation without a lift would likely necessitate the need for a very large implant, and if a large implant is not used, chances are your breast shape will not be as pleasing as it could be with a breast lift.
-Thanks for providing your photos, but I would definitely recommend meeting in person with a board certified plastic surgeon. He/she will examine you thoroughly and will be able to provide more information to guide you towards the breast size/shape that you desire.
-Best of luck to you!

Ptosis Grade 1 No Lift?
Hi KristyRae! You have a great question, that does not have an easy straight forward answer. But yes, you could definately have a breast augmentation without a lift, but it all depends on what result you are looking for. You have glandular ptosis, and implants alone without a lift will give you more fullness, but your breasts will still be low on your chest wall, just larger. If you are looking for perky breasts with upper pole fullness, then you would be better served with a lift and augmentation. You need to go in for a consultation where you can be shown examples of before and after photos of breasts similiar to yours so you can see what either choice would give you.
Ptosis Grade 1 No Lift?
Thank you for the pictures. You have psuedoptosis or glandular ptosis. This means your nipples are OK but the gland is sagging below your crease. Given the fact that you want to be a D or DD, your should be fine with just implants.
Breast augmentation can sometimes camouflage breast ptosis.
A breast augmentation will probably obviate the need for a mastopexy based on the photograph provided. The larger the implant the more likely the ptosis is to be camouflaged.

Ptosis Grade 1 No Lift?
I am not surprised that you have gotten different advice--by the photos this looks like a borderline call.
Your breasts are a bit low set on the chest wall, but if that is not a problem for you, I would lean toward implants alone. Areolar position looks to be quite normal on the breast, with the lower pole of the areola above the breast fold.
Should you decide later that you wanted a lift, it would not be a problem to do. All the best.
Ptosis Grade 1 No Lift?
Dear Kristy,
thank you for your question and photos. While technically speaking, you may have grade I ptosis (can only really be verified on exam), I think you would still need a lift to have a 'perky' result. The reason why is you have a lot of skin under your nipple with the nipple pointing on side profile. Your nipple probably does not need to be lifted, but the tissue under the nipple does. The best lift for your would be a vertical or 'lollipop' type lift.
Best Wishes,
Pablo Prichard, MD
Implants with no lift
Please see an experienced board certified plastic surgeon to find out whether you are a suitable candidate. Best of luck.

To lift or not to lift
Dear Kristy Rae,
As pointed out, you have a condition known as glandular ptosis. I usually recommend a lift along with augmentation for this condition. You can augment without the lift, but your breasts will remain low lying on your chest wall. Good luck!

Customers and employees at the Medical Centre Super Thrifty Pharmacy needed their blood pressure checked after a van crashed through the front window of the downtown business.
"We were just sitting here working like any other day, and just after lunch and all of sudden we heard a big crash and we looked out the window and there was a van right there," pharmacist Rob Jaska said.
Shortly after 1 p.m., witnesses reported that a van travelling north on Sixth Street was T-boned by an SUV travelling west on Princess Avenue. After being struck by the SUV, the van carried on down the slippery road and crashed into the front the window of the pharmacy.
When the accident happened, Jaska said there were customers in the building.
"I think the customers got a bit of a start, but the people in the vehicle looked shaken up a lot more," Jaska said.
While the pharmacy has had several vehicle accidents in front of the storefront in the past, and has been on the rare occasion the target of vandalism or theft, Jaska said a vehicle crashing through the front window is breaking new ground.
"This is the first time we've had a drive-thru," he joked.
Jaska was also please with how the staff handled the situation, ensuring everyone involved in the accident — that included a pregnant woman, according to witnesses — were okay.
"I was proud of how the staff responded," Jaska said. "They called emergency services right away and went out to see if anybody needed any help, and comforted the people that were involved."
Crystal Bonchuk Richards was in the back of the store when the crash took place and the crackling and smashing of glass sent chills up her spine.
"I heard a loud bang and I came running out because I had no idea what was happening. It was very loud and all you could hear was shattering glass."
Richards, who has worked at the pharmacy for seven years, joked that the driver had a vendetta against her after the accident because the glass that the vehicle crashed into was painted with a holiday theme that included painted portraits of all of the staff members and the only portrait the van smashed was hers.
"Mine was the only one that got smashed, but I guess it's one way to clean the window," she joked.
Police confirmed the accident on Sunday.
"There were no injuries," Brandon Police Service Staff Sgt. Marc Alain said, adding that no charges were laid against either driver of the vehicles.

Because He's Hot! Justin Timberlake Strolls Streets of NYC (PHOTOS)
In an chat (and sexy photo shoot) with Elle Magazine, Mr. JT told a hilarious story about getting caught in the heat of the moment. He disclosed:
"I was caught one time. My mom wasn't cool about it. I was too young to be in bed with a girl, so she was upset."
Also in another publication, Justin gave some advice to the ladies…
The Social Network star tells Cosmopolitan Magazine:
"I like a woman who doesn't necessarily care if other people like her. She is who she is and figures people can take it or leave it."
He adds:
"There's nothing better than a pretty girl with a nasty mouth. It's every guy's fantasy."
Part of JT's appeal is his undeniable sense of humor, often suffering the blunt of his own jokes. Funny equals sexy! The versatile performer is once again showing off his comedic skills as he prepares to present the Capital One Cup trophy at the ESPYs. Watch the video below:

No. 3 LSU 41, Washington 3: Alfred Blue rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown and No. 3 LSU used a dominating defensive effort to overwhelm visiting Washington.
Zach Mettenberger threw for 195 yards and a touchdown and the Tigers' defense limited the Huskies to 183 total yards to tie a Tiger Stadium record with its 19th consecutive home win.
Kenny Hilliard added a pair of short touchdown runs as LSU (2-0) recorded its 39th consecutive victory against a non-conference FBS opponent, matching the all-time mark established by Kansas State (1993-2003).
Washington (1-1), which averaged 33 points per game last season, got on the board first when Travis Coons kicked a 34-yard field goal after LSU's Odell Beckman fumbled the opening kickoff.
From then on it was all Tigers, who extended their regular-season winning streak to 14 games. Blue scored on a 21-yard run and J.C. Copeland added a 1-yard TD for a 14-3 lead after one quarter. Two field goals by Drew Alleman made it 20-3 at halftime.
LSU put the game out of reach by scoring on its first two possessions of the second half, getting a 3-yard plunge from Hilliard and a 32-yard pass from Mettenberger to Kadron Boone to make it 34-3.
Huskies quarterback Keith Price connected on 17 of 36 passes for 157 yards and one interception for Washington, which finished with 26 yards rushing after having zero through three quarters.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Blue became the first LSU running back to start the season with back-to-back 100-yard games since Charles Scott in 2008. ... Washington had minus-11 rushing yards at halftime. ... LSU learned Friday that star LT Chris Faulk will likely miss the season due to a knee injury that will require surgery. Projected as a first-round pick in next year's NFL draft, Faulk was hurt in practice Wednesday. ... Washington's deficit at the half could have been larger but LSU's Russell Shepherd dropped an easy pass in the end zone.

Education Questions and Answers
What is a 3.4 GPA in percent? (i.e like around 80%?)?
If 4.0 = 100
then 3.4 = 85
3.0 would be 80% 3.4 should be about 84%.
3.4/4.0=0.85 which is 85%
85 percent
That is 85%.
I find it kind of funny for someone to have a 3.4 GPA but not know how to calculate percentages.
Take 3.4 and divide it by 4, that equals 0.85.
0.85 times 100 = 85%.
That would be about 85% but remember that GPA is so not a good grading system... at least not to me
there is no props for people like me when i got a 95 or 100... we get shuck with the same 4 as some who got 90 and we worker harder.
To find any percentage, divide the part by the total.
So in you case, 3.4 divided by 4.0.
Altho so GPAs go up to 4.33.
This is not related to your class percentile. A GPA of 3.6 is 90%, however, that does not mean you are in the top 10% of your class. Your class percentile depends on the size of the class and GPAs of your fellow students.
By the way, you should know this already, if you are smart enuf to have a 3.4.
It's not a % per se, (as the problem stated above re: someone scoring 90 AND 100 both getting a "A"). Also, as an A represents 4, A-: 3.7, B+: 3.3, B: 3, etc and these numbers are not equidistant from one another, you certainly can't extrapolate an accurate % from your GPA. You can't even get an accurate "average grade" from your GPA for the same reason. Also, every teacher/professor has a different grading scale--one's 80 might be a B-, whereas someone else might score it as a B or even higher if it's on a curve!
Also--is an "A" in an easy class better than a "B" in an advanced class? Does that make one smarter because their GPA says so?
That being said--you're slightly better than a B+ student. One more thing--worry less about the numbers and get the best education...

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 24.0026 Sunday, 27 January 2013
Date: January 23, 2013 5:25:27 PM EST
Subject: Open Source Shakespeare Search Statistics
Hello, list members --
In late September, Open Source Shakespeare started logging all of the searches performed on the site. So far, it has compiled over 255,000 search requests, or about 2,000 per day. The logs can show patterns of how people search Shakespeare's corpus. Here are a few nuggets:
- Hamlet is the most-searched work, which isn't a surprise—but it is searched more than 60% as frequently as the runner-up, Macbeth.
- Othello (#3) is searched considerably more than secondary-school fixture Romeo and Juliet (#4).
- Nobody likes poor "Phoenix and the Turtle" (admittedly, it's so short, you don't really need to search within it), and the other non-sonnet poems languish at the bottom of the list. "Two Gents" is the least-searched play.
- Romantics will be pleased to find that "love" is the most-searched keyword.
- Previously, I had assumed that at least 90% of the search requests were simple keyword searches, because that is the normal proportion for on-site search functions. However, it turns out the searches are split much more evenly between simple and advanced requests (about 46% specify a particular work, which means it is an advanced search).
You can see the list of most-searched works here:
. . . and the most-searched keywords here:
And here's a brief update of where the site stands, since so many of you have offered critiques and comments over the years. Open Source Shakespeare was announced on SHAKSPER in February 2004, and has grown into one of the more popular sites of its kind. Since June 2006, OSS has attracted 3.7 million unique visitors and 20.8 million page views. In the last year alone, it hosted over 1.1 million visitors and 5.4 million page views. When you search for the keyword "shakespeare" in Google, OSS is now in the first page of search results (it's at #10, at least as I type this, although it sometimes falls off to #11).

With orchids, there are really only two seasons - the growing season from March to October and the resting season, which runs from November through February.
This was one of a number of orchid tips shared by South Bay Orchid Society member Saul Miller at the society's recent orchid show.
The other take-away message: "Growing orchids is easy!"
A handout on growing orchids in Southern California promises that "orchids can live forever when grown properly" and "in our area they don't need to be grown in a greenhouse."
I purchased two orchids to grow indoors. Granted, we can grow cymbidiums, oncidiums and epidendrums outdoors. With very little care, they delight us year after year with surprise blooms from the back of the garden.
On our rounds, we suddenly see a bit of yellow and sure enough, it's that charming little oncidium orchid blooming with its bright butterfly-like blossoms; or it's an early-blooming cymbidium just in time for Christmas.
According to the South Bay Orchid Society, if you are new to growing orchids, you first have to decide whether you want varieties that grow indoors or outdoors.
Phalaenopsis and dendrobiums, for example, need a warmer climate than cymbidiums, cattleyas, oncidiums or zygopetalum, which do fine outdoors all year.
Another tip from the society is to buy the largest, healthiest plant you can afford. A larger plant can take more abuse and thus will adjust better to its new growing conditions and give you time to learn how to care for it.
Now, with my two new indoor orchids - a white phalaenopsis in a 4-inch pot and a white dendrobium also in a 4-inch pot - I'm very careful about placement and watering. I purchased the plants at the orchid show before I learned the benefit of purchasing larger plants.
Miller explained that orchids have to be hardy to have survived so long in so many different climates - from the Amazon lowlands to the Himalayas. But the secret is to know what each variety of orchid needs. My dendrobium, for example, needs the most light of any orchid - but not direct sunlight.
"You really have to know your orchid's cultural needs," he said.
What makes orchids different from roses or geraniums is that they are epiphytes, which means their roots need access to the air. That is why in their native habitats they can be found on trees, receiving water out of the air through their roots.
Other than the growing medium, which is generally orchid or coconut bark mixed with pearlite, there are five things you need to know about your particular variety to be successful: water, temperature, sunlight, fertilizer and airflow needs. Of these, water, temperature and light are the most critical.
It is best to water in the morning, taking care to keep water off the leaves. Saturate all the bark so water streams out the bottom. Generally, you will need to water once a week, but check first that the plant needs it, since there are variables including the time of year, temperature, humidity, growing medium, size of plant and pot.
When considering temperature, indoor orchids don't like nighttime temperatures below 55 degrees. Outdoor orchids can take temperatures down to 40 degrees and lower for short periods. When temperatures reach 90 degrees, it's best to keep them in shade and mist them in the afternoons.
Indoor and outdoor groups also have different light needs.
Check the color of the leaves for an indication. Outdoor orchids should have leaves that are medium to light green or a yellow-green. If leaves on cymbidiums, for example, are dark green, they are not getting enough light.
On the coast, they can take full sun in winter, but if they get too much direct sun on hot days, the leaves could burn.
Indoor orchids such as phalaenopsis need less light. This makes them perfect for windows with filtered, but not direct, sunlight. If phalaenopsis orchids do not get enough light, their leaves will be dark and new leaves will grow long and slender. Most importantly, they may not rebloom.
The story on fertilizer is to use a water-soluble balanced variety. Look for numbers such as 10-10-10 or 13-13-13 - indicating a balanced percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, respectively, in the mixture. Preferably, the fertilizer contains "micronutrients."
Then check the type of nitrogen. It is best if it is not all-urea nitrogen.
Miller recommends another ratio based on the time of year. From now to March, you should use a fertilizer with a high middle number, such as 6-30-30, to promote bloom. Then starting in March, use a fertilizer with a high first number, such as 30-10-10, to promote growth during the growing season.
Miller uses the adage, "Fertilize weakly, weekly," recommending using a partial-strength fertilizer each week rather than full-strength occasionally. The handout suggests if you are using a balanced fertilizer, give 1 teaspoon per gallon with each watering.
Before fertilizing, it's best to saturate the roots with regular tap water. This will "plump up" the roots, enabling them to absorb the fertilizer better.
When planted in pots, most orchids like to be root-bound, so don't move a plant into a larger pot until you see roots hanging out of the growing medium and over the pot edge. Then only go up one pot size. This will allow the plant to dry out between waterings and not rot from too much water. Overwatering is the biggest killer of indoor orchids, experts say.
A final consideration is airflow. Indoor and outdoor orchids do best when the air flows freely - either under trees or near an open window or ceiling fan. This helps reduce the plant's temperature on hot days and accelerates the evaporation of water in the leaves. Sitting water can invite bacteria that may cause rot.
This is the primer course. For more in-depth information, visitors are welcome at the monthly meetings of the South Bay Orchid Society.

Description of Research ExpertiseThe primary aim of Dr. Grant's research efforts is to improve functioning and quality of life in individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. This research program has two tracks. The first is an investigation of the psychopathology of schizophrenia, including the primary symptoms of hallucinations, delusions, speech disturbance, negative symptoms, as well as biopsychosocial modeling of functional outcomes, featuring neurocognitive impairments, behavioral skills, and dysfunctional attitudes. The goal of the psychopathology research is a better understanding of the disorder that yields improved clinical formulation and the identification of new treatment targets. Accordingly, the second track of Dr. Grant's research program is the development, evaluation, and dissemination of novel treatments for individuals with schizophrenia. Over the past several years his research has focused upon patients in the lower end of the continuum of functional outcome in both outpatient and inpatient settings.

"Long excursions of a random walk"
Endre Csáki, Pál Révész and Zhan Shi
Summary: In Csáki, Révész and Rosen (1998) and Révész and Willekens (1988), it was proved that the length of the longest excursion among the first n excursions of a plane random walk is nearly equal to the total sum of the lengths of these excursions. In this paper several results are proved in the same spirit, for plane random walks and for random walks in higher dimensions.
Keywords: Random walk, excursion length.

A forthcoming report from the conservative organization Americans for Limited Government (ALG) details how President Barack Obama's nominee to head the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) sent her children to a politically left-wing Jewish summer camp with Communist roots.
Obama nominated Erica Groshen to be the BLS commissioner in February, but this new report — obtained by The Daily Caller and set to be released on Thursday — reveals for the first time publicly that she sent her children to Camp Kinderland. The ALG report reveals how "Groshen and her husband are listed in the Kinderland Directory 2011-2012, which indicates that they sent children to the camp during the 1990s and 2000s."
"Camp Kinderland was founded in the 1923 as a place for the children of radical Jewish activists," the report continues.
According to New York University, some of the camp's founders were "activists in the Communist Party," and all "were associated with the left wing of the Workermen's Circle."
"From 1930 the camp operated under the auspices of a branch of the International Workers Order [IWO]," NYU researchers add.
The U.S. House Un-American Activities Committee and New York state investigated the camp for its communist ties in the 1950s — something the camp's website calls "red baiting witch hunts." The investigation prompted Camp Kinderland to make a "legal determination" that it was not a part of the IWO.
Camp Kinderland says on its website that since then, it "has remained to this day an independent entity run as a not for profit organization."
But, on another part of its website, Kinderland says it "is true to the vision of its founders" — which, according to NYU, included members of the Communist Party.

Boyd's Blast Buoys B-Mets to 12-6 Victory
BINGHAMTON, NY – Jayce Boyd collected four RBI, including three on a tie-breaking home run in the fifth inning, to lead the Binghamton Mets past the Harrisburg Senators, 12-6, on Thursday night at NYSEG Stadium. The B-Mets set season-highs with a dozen runs scored and 13 hits.
Despite the lopsided final, Harrisburg jumped on the board immediately. Michael Taylor launched Darin Gorski's first pitch of the game beyond the left-field wall. His seventh homer of the season gave the Senators an early 1-0 lead.
Gorski helped his own cause and pushed the B-Mets into the lead in the second. Kevin Plawecki started the rally with a single to center. Dustin Lawley worked out a walk and Wilfredo Tovar earned a two-out free pass to load the bases. Gorski jumped on Blake Schwartz's first pitch and dumped it into shallow left-center. The single, his first hit since July 9, 2012, plated two and gave Binghamton a 2-1 advantage.
The Senators answered back with another blast in the fifth. Ricky Hague led off the frame by ripping his second home run of the season over the left-field fence. It was the second time this season Gorski has allowed multiple home runs.
Binghamton responded with firepower of their own to break the tie in the fifth. Gorski started the inning by lining a double to left. Schwartz issued a two-out walk to Matt Reynolds, opening the door for Binghamton. Boyd lined Schwartz's payoff pitch just over the left-field wall for his second home run in three days. Travis Taijeron tacked onto the lead with a solo shot off reliever Brian Dupra in the sixth.
The Senators clawed back with two in the seventh against John Church. Taylor tripled home a run and Caleb Ramsey bunted another across the plate to cut Binghamton's lead to two.
The B-Mets responded with two of their own off Dupra in the bottom of the seventh. Matt Reynolds supplied an RBI single after Darrell Ceciliani and Brian Burgamy opened the inning with hits. Kevin Plawecki made it an 8-4 game with a sacrifice fly.
Binghamton put the game out of reach by hanging a four-spot in the eight. The home team sent eight men to the plate and pounded out five hits in the inning, highlighted by an RBI triple from Reynolds and a run-scoring double from Boyd.
Chasen Bradford allowed a run in the ninth before sealing Binghamton's second straight win.
Gorski (3-1) allowed two runs on seven hits and struck out seven over six innings to pick up his second victory in as many starts. Schwartz (0-6) was tagged for five runs on four hits over five innings in the defeat.
The B-Mets (16-14) continue their four-game series against the Senators on Friday night at 7:05 PM. RHP Matt Bowman takes the hill against RHP Brad Meyers.
POSTGAME NOTES: Every B-Met player, excluding the three relievers, scored at least one run, including pinch-hitter Matt Clark…Jayce Boyd is 8-for-13 in his last three games, with two doubles and two home runs…Binghamton is now 4-10 when the opponent scores first

The cast of Desperate Housewives
After almost five months at the top of the TV ratings, Desperate Housewives is under challenge. Last week it lost top spot in the week's ratings to Channel Ten's final episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. And even in its own Monday night timeslot it is looking a little shaky.
Last week, Nine's Who Wants To Be a Millionaire got its highest score for the year - 603,024 viewers - and was fewer than 15,000 behind Seven's hit import. In one quarter hour, Millionaire beat its rival. And this week, with Clifford Plumpton becoming the ninth person in the show's history to be offered the million-dollar question, Millionaire was within 35,000 of beating Desperate Housewives. Seven's show has been rating more than 150,000 viewers below its early-season peak in recent weeks.
Quiz shows are rating well for Nine. On Temptation - The New Sale of the Century, Brigid O'Connor's record $636,000 win in cash, prizes and gold bullion last Wednesday drew a peak audience of 505,000 in Melbourne and kept the resurrected quiz show in top spot at 7pm on week nights. Her win also added to the total of $61 million in cash and prizes given by the show since it began with Tony Barber as host in 1980.
Overall, Nine won last week's Melbourne ratings with 12 of the top 20 programs and 31.6 per cent of the night-time audience. Seven scored 26.1, followed by Ten (21.7), ABC (15.8) and SBS (4.8).
Nationally Nine was also the winner, for the 11th consecutive week.
There were many notable results last week. The ABC's costly historical reality series Outback House has slipped in the ratings, from 384,851 viewers to 303,809 last week. This week, preliminary figures show it fell further, to fewer than 300,000. Meanwhile SBS has a rolled-gold cult hit on its hands with the Monday night series Mythbusters. Not since the glory days of South Park has SBS scored 260,000 viewers for a weekly series in Melbourne. It out-rated SBS's second most-watched program last week, The Fall of Great Empires, by more than two to one. Ten's latest spin-off from the veteran US crime drama Law & Order - Law & Order: Trial By Jury - had an inauspicious debut, with only 184,199 viewers. It was beaten by Nine's Footy Show (491,000), Seven's The Amazing Race (416,500) and Rita on the ABC (193,282). And the US clone of the British hit The Office premiered on Ten with 262,344 viewers but fell away to 196,491 on its second night. Ten announced on Monday that it had been axed and tonight's scheduled episode has been replaced with a repeat of Everybody Loves Raymond.
So far this week, winners have included Nine's coverage of the tennis at Wimbledon. On Monday night, the centre court match between Lleyton Hewitt and American Taylor Dent peaked on 310,000 viewers late at night. Seven's local drama Last Man Standing remains an under-achiever. With 273,000 viewers on Monday, it was beaten by Nine's Cold Case (423,000), Enough Rope on the ABC (387,000) and Big Brother Uncut on Ten (292,000).

Namco Bandai has released some fresh images of their upcoming action game Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title developed by Heavenly Sword studio Ninja Theory.
The game, which is reportedly based loosely on the Chinese novel Journey to the West, features characters Monkey and Trip as he attempts to escape a slave ship traveling to a post-apocalyptic America.
The images focus heavily on the platforming aspects of Enslaved, described by Namco and Ninja Theory as a tactical action game.
The game, unveiled last September, is the first multiplatform release for studio Ninja Theory, who worked on 2007's Heavenly Sword for PlayStation 3. The studio also launched the game's official website for more details.
Readers, looking forward to the game?

Concord - New Hampshire Republican State Committee Chairman Jennifer Horn released the following statement today on Attorney General Foster's decision to officially recuse himself from the ongoing investigator into Governor Hassan's illegal campaign donations. New Hampshire Journal reports that the New Hampshire Department of Justice officially announced the decision today:
"Governor Hassan's illegal campaign money scandal has cast a dark ethical cloud over her administration and undermined public trust in state government. Attorney General Foster made the right decision given his role on Hassan's 2012 finance committee and his close ties to some of the labor unions that broke campaign finance laws. We hope that the New Hampshire Department of Justice will expedite its ongoing investigation into Governor Hassan's shady campaign finances and quickly provide an opinion on her suspicious failure to disclose her donors on a required campaign finance report."
The New Hampshire Department of Justice has already forced Governor Hassan to return $33,000 in illegal campaign contributions and ruled that at least three labor unions broke state laws that required them to register their political action committees.
Attorney General Foster served on then-candidate Hassan's 2012 campaign finance committee: (New Hampshire Journal, 8/15/2014)

By contrast, HHS is mandating that all EHRs include a person's Body Mass Index. BMI is the formula that calculates the ratio between a person's height and weight to measure their obesity.
HHS's EHR regulations say that every EHR system must, "Calculate body mass index. Automatically calculate and display body mass index (BMI) based on a patient's height and weight."
A cancer diagnosis is not the only significant health event that may be omitted from a person's EHR. HHS also says it is not mandating that health-care providers include an abortion or a diagnosis of HIV/AIDS on a person's EHR.
A leading oncologist and former chair of the EHR Working Group at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, however, told CNSNews.com that HHS should "know better" than to say that a cancer diagnosis need not be included on a person's EHR and that it only "makes sense" for oncologists, who specialize in treating cancer patients, to include such a diagnosis in a person's federally mandated EHR.
HHS made its statement that EHRs do not need to include whether a person has been diagnosed with cancer in a written answer to CNSNews.com emailed in response to the following question: "Do doctors have to include pregnancies in electronic health records? Cancer diagnoses? Abortions? HIV/AIDS diagnoses? Is anything required to be included in an EHR?"
CNSNews.com had originally tried to put this question directly to Dr. David Blumenthal, the director of the HHS's Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, after he testified before Congress on Sept. 30. Blumenthal declined at that time to respond but referred CNSNews.com to his spokesperson.
In response to CNSNews.com's written question, a spokesperson for HHS's Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, emailed this statement: "Providers will treat health information the same in the electronic world as they have in the paper world. They will record the information necessary to treat the patient in the electronic medical record. HHS's rules for doctors to receive payments for meaningfully using health information do not require the recording of any particular test result or procedure. The Rule does NOT require a doctor to include a cancer diagnosis, abortion or HIV/AIDS diagnosis in an EHR. What is recorded in an electronic medical record remains largely a matter between the physician and the patient."
The HHS spokesperson who emailed the response on behalf of the department asked that their name not be used in this article.
The statement did not address the question of whether a pregancy--as opposed to an abortion--needed to be included in a person's EHR.
Back in July, Blumenthal did speak with
Also at that time, Peter Garrett, the communicatins director for HHS's Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, responded to written questions from CNSNews.com about what information needed to be included in the government-mandated EHRs. "If a physician chooses to participate, they are not required to record any specific type of health information and the physician needs the patient's consent in order to record any of their personal health information," Garrett said.
However, the EHR regulations published by HHS in July specifically mandate that EHRs must include a person's Body Mass Index (BMI). Those regulations also state that EHRs must "Maintain an up-to-date problem list of current and active diagnoses" and "procedures."
A problems list is defined in separate federal regulations as:
"(i) Diseases. (ii) Injuries. (iii) Impairments. (iv) Other health problems and their manifestations. (v) Causes of injury, disease, impairment, or other health problems."
Procedures are defined as actions taken with regards to: "(i) Prevention. (ii) Diagnosis. (iii) Treatment. (iv) Management," of those things listed on the problems list.
The HHS's Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology is responsible for the "development of a nationwide health information technology infrastructure that allows for the electronic use and exchange of information" that, among other things, "reduces health care costs resulting from inefficiency, medical errors, inappropriate care, duplicative care, and incomplete information" and "provides appropriate information to help guide medical decisions at the time and place of care," according to Section 3001 of President Barack Obama's economic stimulus package, which became law in February 2009.
That law calls for every American to have an EHR by 2014 by placing a mandate on health-care providers. Providers that are not making "meaningful use" of the government-mandated EHRs for all their patients by that year will be subjected to diminished payments from Medicare and Medicaid. The law also requires that the records be part of an integrated national system in which they can be electronically exchanged.
Dr. John Cox, a Dallas-based medical oncologist and past chair of the EHR Working Group at the American Society of Clinical Oncology, said that while there were "very few" federal requirements dictating which specific conditions must be recorded in a medical record, it would only "make sense" for a record to contain a cancer diagnosis.
"It certainly would make sense in this country that if you see a cancer patient that you would have to document the diagnosis of what type of cancer it was and the appropriate stage," he said.
"If you look at the future of electronic health records and CMS's [Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, a division of HHS] own criteria under what are called their meaningful use criteria," said Cox, "one of those criteria are the submission of what are called critical elements ... and though it's not mandated with the first stage of meaningful use, what is coming is the requirement that a cancer patient would have the stage of their diagnosis defined and that would be part of the medical record that would ultimately have to be shared," in a nationwide professional registry.
Dr. Cox said that the HHS should "be careful" in how it describes EHRs because eventually EHRs will be as comprehensive as paper medical records. "If you can look at those criteria and see where they're going, then they [HHS] should know better," he said. "Clearly, you want a robust system that is allowing information to go from provider to provider and you want a system nationwide that is providing the health care system with information so they can make good decisions."
Cox told CNSNews.com that in his opinion the stimulus bill and the HITECH act contained within it would be more transformative for American health care than the Affordable Care Act, the health-care reform law enacted in March that is sometimes known as Obamacare. The HITECH Act [Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health] was the part of the overall stimulus law that mandated that all health-care providers adopt EHRs for all their patients by 2014.
"I often say to my colleague that the Affordable Care Act that everybody's in an uproar about isn't the transformative--it is transformative in some ways--but it's not the transformative thing that's going to hit you this year or next," he said. "It was ARRA [the stimulus law] and HITECH that really are going to transform our practices in the short term--and I really believe that."

Technical Abstract: Plant growth is sensitive to concentrations of resin extractable elements in soil. Resin extractable element concentrations vary with soil type, landscape position and climatological zone. We have shown that soybean (Glycine max L.) seed yield is sensitive to the resin extractable V:(V+P) molar ratio in soil and that the effect of this ratio was cultivar- dependent. Because V is a potent ATPase inhibitor and Mg and Ca are important ATPase cofactors, we examined the data for correlation between seed yield and the resin extractable Mg:(Mg+Ca) molar ratio. Data were obtained from a 3.2 ha field site. The field site was divided into three equal portions and each had 360 plots. Two cultivars were planted in 1995 (9091 and 9061) and a third (704) was added in 1996 and 1997. Composite soil samples were taken from 180 plots in each portion to a depth of 60 cm. Surface soil samples (6 g) from selected plots were subjected to extraction nwith cation and anion resin extractors for 5 days. Extractors were washed and eluted with acid and the extracts were analyzed with ICP methods. Seed yields of 9091 increased by 27% as the resin extractable Mg:(Mg + Ca) molar ratio increased 0.2 to 0.8. Seed yields of 9061 increased in 2 of 3 years as the Mg:(Mg + Ca) molar ratio increased. Seed yields of 704 increased as the resin extractable Mg:(Mg + Ca) molar ratio increased in both years in which it was grown. The relative gains of 9061 and 704 were much less than those of 9091. Greenhouse studies using the same soils as the field study show soybean yields are increased with the application of MgPO4; this suggests a real effect of resin extractable Mg on soybean yields. Knowledge of complex elemental interactions serves as a guide to both site specific soil management and plant breeding.
