Taco Bell Corp. Pulled Onions From All U.S. Restaurants. As Taco Bell Corp. pulled green onions from all of its 5,800 U.S. restaurants Wednesday in the wake of an E. coli outbreak linked to some of its restaurants, questions emerged about whether the current testing procedures on produce entering the nation's food system are adequate.
The fast-food chain said preliminary testing by an independent lab found three samples of green onions that tested positive for E. coli O157:H7, a potent strain of the bacteria.
Taco Bell executives said the tests were not conclusive. But the chain was taking no chances Wednesday when it decided to remove the onions after at least 46 confirmed cases of E. coli sickness were linked to Taco Bells in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania over the past few weeks.
"In an abundance of caution, we've decided to pull all green onions from our restaurants until we know conclusively whether they are the cause of the E. coli outbreak," said Greg Creed, Taco Bell's president.
Taco Bell is a unit of Yum Brands Inc., one of the world's largest restaurant operators. It also operates KFC, Pizza Hut, Long John Silver's and A&W restaurants.
Eighteen Taco Bell restaurants, including nine in suburban Philadelphia, three in New Jersey and a half-dozen on New York's Long Island, have been closed for decontamination. Some have reopened since the outbreak was first reported nearly three weeks ago.
Taco Bell's E. coli problem comes four months after E. coli contamination forced the nationwide recall of packaged spinach from grocery store shelves and restaurants. Three people died and more than 200 fell ill in the outbreak that was traced to packaged, fresh spinach grown in California.
While increased regular testing of the nation's meat supply during the past 20 years has reduced illnesses from meat consumption a more likely place for E. coli contamination produce is still tested randomly. Increasing testing may be key to improving the safety of produce, industry experts said.
Risks may be greater
Robert Tauxe, an official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, said it may now be riskier to eat produce than in the past.
"The outbreaks are bigger and more frequent than they were 20 or 30 or even 15 years ago," he said in the December issue of Nutrition Action, published by the Center for Science in the Public Interest. "Even though we can identify and control outbreaks better than we used to, when contamination does occur with lettuce, spinach, cantaloupe or tomatoes, we can have a big problem on our hands."
Each year, the CDC estimates that as many as 33 million Americans become sick from food-borne illnesses. More than 325,000 are hospitalized and 5,000 die. It's estimated that the illnesses cost more than $10 billion in reduced productivity and medical expenses.
400 Cases Of Illness Were Caused By Produce Industry
In 2004, the latest year for which data are available, nearly 400 cases of illness caused by produce were recorded, while there were only 171 outbreaks caused by ground beef, according to data compiled by the Centers for Science in the Public Interest.
That is unlikely to change much in the near term because the nation's produce industry can't use "chemical or heat intervention that would be used in other industries" to kill the organisms, according to Sam Beattie, a professor and food safety expert at Iowa State University.
Recalls are only remedy
Beattie said farmers and the industry can't prevent contamination of field crops. Removing or recalling problem produce at the end of the line is really the only remedy at this point, food safety experts say.
"It is very difficult to control what walks across, lands in or slithers through a field. And all of these organisms can carry bacteria. They will deposit their excrement on the plant and it is difficult to detect.
"There is precious little the consumer can do once the produce is contaminated and there is precious little the farmer can do to mitigate the contamination," he said.
That could be a key reason why Taco Bell, the nation's largest Mexican restaurant chain, so swiftly ordered removal of the green onions from its restaurants. Acting fast after a contamination is about the only option food purveyors have.
"Most of the big chains now will err on the side of being overly cautious," said Mac Brand, a consultant with the Hale Group, who said fast-food chains are advised to move swiftly to contain food-borne illnesses.
Rob Hardy, another consultant with the Hale Group said, "All the chains realize the risk for the company and investors and so they have elaborate plans designed to prevent contaminated food from entering the distribution system" and even more detailed plans in how to react.
Tainted green onions from Mexico were blamed for a 2003 outbreak of hepatitis A in western Pennsylvania that was traced to a Mexican restaurant. Four people died and more than 600 people were sickened after eating the green onions at a Chi-Chi's restaurant.
Further tests planned
McLane Co., which distributes food to the region's Taco Bells, said federal investigators planned to test green onions, regular onions, cilantro, tomatoes and lettuce from its southern New Jersey warehouse.
Authorities also planned to look at a nearby facility of a produce processor, Ready Pac Produce, which handles lettuce, tomatoes, onions and other ingredients for Taco Bell. A Ready Pac spokesman did not immediately return calls.
E. coli is found in the feces of humans and livestock. Most E. coli infections are associated with undercooked meat, but the bacteria also can be found on sprouts or leafy vegetables such as spinach. People can spread the germs if they do not thoroughly wash their hands after using the bathroom.
E. coli, or Escherichia coli, is a common and ordinarily harmless bacteria, but certain strains can cause abdominal cramps, fever, bloody diarrhea, kidney failure, blindness, paralysis and death.

related to yplus
Hi everyone,
reading through this forum i've been able to find most of the answers i was looking for, but i have still some doubts related to yplus that i hope someone can clarify:
1. Is it possible to control the y+ values of my grid somehow with sHM fixing a min/max value somewhere? Or do I have to play instead with the expansionRatio/finalLayerThickness/minThickness in the addLayersControls from the snappyHexMeshDict?
I have values from 4 to 120 and i would like to increase the min value til 30 as i would like to use wall functions...
2. Supposing that i don't change my actual mesh, what i've understood from other posts (correct me if i'm wrong) is that i can still use wall functions, using "omegaWallFunction" for omega and "nutUSpaldingWallFunction" for nut (i'm using kw sst model), but in this case, which condition do i use for k?? zeroGradient?? or kqRWallFunction??
Thanks :)

Anyone else go through these phases?
I remember back in the day when C would go through one of these phases and I was so pleased that he had finally settled down into his "real" self, you know, now that we'd finally conquered sleep issues, eating issues, discipline issues. What a good mom I was to have taken care of all those issues and now he was an angelgeniusperfect child!
Yeah, right. Nice try. Hahahahahahahaha!
Took me quite a while to realize that it's just another phase that comes and goes. He's almost 6 now, in the 1st grade, and in the midst of an angelgeniusperfect child stint.
I'm loving it! And this time without even a tiny bit of smugness as I know that this too shall pass SpazzyAnnoyingNerveGrating child is lurking around the corner somewhere...
But in the meantime, my angel has decided he loves yoga. He finds his "special safe place" while doing the daydreaming pose in yoga by imagining he's at SCHOOL of all places. He sings the new French songs he learns at school all the time in his sweet voice. He started to learn to read and is picking it up so fast it's blowing my mind. He asks to go to bed at 6:45 and sleeps till 6:45 the next morning. He reminds me that we shouldn't take the car to drop him off at school because it uses gas, we better ride the bike. He draws pictures To Mom: Love C and leaves them in front of my monitor for me to find after I come home from bringing him to the bus stop.
Yup, he's pretty well perfect. Evil is lurking, I know it will attack soon, but in the meantime, I'm must be the best mom ever to have raised such an amazing child. Bwaaa hahahahahahahaha!

Delaware State Police troopers have charged an 18-year-old Georgetown man and are searching for two additional suspects in a May 10 shooting that has left another 18-year-old man hospitalized with a gunshot wound to his leg.The incident occurred about 7 p.m. as troopers responded to the 19000 block of Duffy Street, West Rehoboth, for a report of a fight with shots fired at a large outdoor gathering. Upon arrival, troopers located a Harrington man who had suffered a gunshot wound to his leg.
Preliminary investigation indicates that three subjects - Rakeem R. Conquest, 18; Derrick Sewell, 23; and Precious I. Tiggs, 22, arrived by vehicle, immediately got out and confronted the victim. A fight occurred between the victim and Conquest, who produced a handgun. During the altercation the victim was able to knock the handgun from Conquest's hand. Sewell pushed the victim backwards while Tiggs retrieved a second handgun from inside the vehicle and handed it to Sewell.
Sewell then fired one round, striking the victim in the leg. All three subjects then fled the scene in the vehicle. The victim was transported by ambulance to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Treatment status and disposition are unknown at the time of this release.
After further investigation and investigative leads, Troop 4 Major Crimes Detectives were able to identify and connect Conquest, Sewell and Tiggs to the shooting. At approximately 11:20 p.m. last evening, troopers were able to locate Conquest in Georgetown, where he was taken into custody without incident.
Troopers continue to actively search for Sewell and Tiggs. If observed call 911 immediately.
Conquest is charged with first-degree assault; possession of a deadly weapon during the commission of a felony; possession of a firearm by person prohibited; aggravated menacing; second-degree conspiracy; and offensive touching. He has been committed to Sussex Correctional Institution on a $81,500 cash bond. Delaware State Police have active warrants for Sewell and Tiggs, charging them with first-degree assault; possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony; aggravated menacing; second-degree conspiracy; and offensive touching.
If anyone has any information in reference to this incident, they are asked to contact 911 or the Troop 4 Major Crimes Unit at 302-856-5850, or use the Delaware State Police Mobile Crime Tip Application available to download at delaware.gov/apps/. Information may also be provided by calling Delaware Crime Stoppers at 1-800-TIP-3333; at tipsubmit.com; or by sending an anonymous tip by text to 274637 (CRIMES) using the keyword DSP.

If you decide to visit Dewey Beach, DE...I strongly recommend The Bay Resort. It is a great motel, the staff is friendly and more than helpful. The room was immaculate and most rooms have a small kitchenette, there is also coffee available in the office all day long. I stayed on the poolside, which was fine but I'm sorry I didn't spend the few extra dollars to be on the bay side which appeared to be much more quieter. The motel is off the main road and much quieter at night. This is a hidden treasure in Dewey Beach as you have to look a little bit to find it...you won't see it from the main road driving through Dewey Beach but its well worth the easy search to find it.

I value the basic things in life like honesty, loyalty and caring for others. Family and friends are what are most important to me and anyone who wishes to get to know me should aspire to be one, or both, of those.
I'm more at home in smaller groups and intimate situations than in clubs and parties so, if we're to get on, this is where you need to feel comfortable too. I like to dress in a relaxed way. I am what I am regardless of what I am wearing.
I could have said many things in my profile that would make me sound more appealing. However when all is said and done honesty is the best policy, something which I hope you would demonstrate as well.

Following on from reports yesterday, Coty has confirmed that it has reached an agreement to acquire ghd, the British firm that makes high-end hairstyling appliances. The US-based beauty giant is paying approximately £420m in cash to buy ghd from Lion Capital, a private equity group.
Coty said that the addition of ghd's "market-leading and high-performance" lines of hair straighteners, hairdryers, curlers and other hairstyling appliances will strengthen its worldwide position in the professional hair category.

Davey will report to Sylvie Moreau, President of Coty Professional Beauty.

Not only do we expect ghd to strengthen our professional hair portfolio and enable Coty to provide even better hair solutions, but we also believe there is strong growth potential for ghd across several markets."

The Long Road Home (to the 'shire!)
I heard Jason Sorens speak in 2005. He advocated that liberty-oriented individuals around the globe vote with their feet and relocate to New Hampshire (NH) as part of the Free State Project – to pursue liberty in our lifetime. I was intrigued. A month later I drove from DC to Lancaster to attend PorcFest. I was present for less than 24 hours. That was plenty of time to recognize the potential of the idea.
I then got involved with the Mid-Atlantic Free State Project group whilst living in northern Virginia. I valued my experiences there – getting better acquainted with Austrian Economics and its implications, and cultivating other knowledge and skills – but the thought of moving to NH tugged at me. It was appealing to not just talk about liberty, but to actively pursue it.
In 2009 I relocated to NH, which I now call "the 'shire" for its magical qualities. Keene was homebase for The Motorhome Diaries and Liberty on Tour, as well the place that Cop Block was incubated. It became clear when I was on the road with those projects that, while there are growing pockets of communities who internalize the ideas of self-ownership, the 'shire was special.
In 2014 – at PorcFest, of course – I met the person who, in 2015, agreed to be my life partner. That fine lady, if you're unaware, is Amanda B. Johnson. We plan to re-up each year, so long as we're both still having fun. Based on our frequency of laughs and smiles and songs, I'd say we're on a good trajectory.
In late 2014 Amanda and I left the 'shire for Oklahoma City where I got top-notch surgery to repair my ripped bicep. The friendly and entrepreneurial folks at the Oklahoma Surgery Center agreed to be paid entirely in Bitcoin and gold. And the anesthesiologist's own son was super into Cop Block! (more…)


text: 88 Ford Bronco Plow Truck/ Possible Trade Truck has roughly 174,500 miles. It has a 351w with an AT trans., 4x4 works good, Passenger side head was replaced (good used head) with new gaskets from heads up. Truck could use a tune up. Exhaust leaks alittle and believe it has a vac leak (its bogs under load sometime) Comes with a 7 ft. western 4-way plow, Plow works great. Truck does have rust (it's an 88 plow truck) Lower door area and fender wells have rust. Wells have some holes, no holes in doors. Tailgate is rusted through the bottom as are most bronco's. Rear window was broken and a plexi glass window was made for the rear. I do have an extra 351w i can sell with the truck (which is for sell outside of this ad and may or may not still be avail) it has around 74,000 miles on it, it came from an E-150 van. Extra 351w is carb and 351w in bronco is fuel injected, so you would have to change the top end and such if you wanted lower miles but truck runs drives and plows as is. Over all the truck is not perfect and i dont claim it to be. It needs some attention/TLC. I may be interested in older (late 70's to mid 80's) chevy AT 4x4 1/2 ton - 1 ton as trade. No rust buckets/No major problems. Must be drivable. Or ZTR Mower must be in good condition with no major problems. I am asking $2,800 O.B.O. Prefer to sell but will entertain trades. Truck as high interest trade. I currently have $3,400 in the total truck/plow and extra motor. I'm open to offers. Picture is from last fall/winter can take newer ones if seriously interested. Located in Ladoga, Indiana. $2800 OBO. Contact me via PM Thanks

New Museums of Moscow
Moscow is justifiably named the city of museums. Over there you can find variety of museums, from cultural treasury to modern ones, and considering that, one thing is for sure: everyone will find something for its taste.
More than 50 new extraordinary museums deserving attention have appeared in Moscow since the beginning of the 21st century. Here are some of them:
1. Interactive Educational Center of the State Darwin Museum
The Center was opened in 2014. Transparent floor covers a flowing river full of fish flocks, tiny cells are growing up to the size of a mature watermelon, and continents obey every movement of a hand. Due to innovative technologies, visitors can become heroes of a fantastic future. In search of life they can look under tree crowns, soar after migratory birds, submerge to the bottom of the World Ocean and crack a door to the mysterious world of a cell. Everyone, both young and old, can measure their strength, response speed and functioning of the vestibular apparatus and, comparing themselves to other living organisms. Fascinating games and interactive exhibits allow without doing without museum guide.
2. Museum of Soviet-Time Game Machines
This museum, which was opened in 2007, is called a "time machine" fair enough. It takes adults back to their childhood and allows children seeing the past. The museum's exposition is entirely interactive. One can not only touch everything but play games with acting machines dating back to 1970-80's, such as Sea Battle, Sniper, Magistral, Repka, Gorodki, Safari, Autorally-M and others. One just has to put a 15-kopeck Soviet coin into the slot. There are more than 60 game machines in the museum. Of course, they look primitive compared to modern gadgets but to Soviet boys and girls, who were inexperienced in amusements, they seemed real miracle at the time.
3. Experimentanium, the Museum of Amusing Sciences
In this extraordinary museum, which was opened in March 2011, one can not only look at the exhibits but also perform tests and experiments in own hands, and participate in scientific programs and master classes. Such non-typical comprehension of scientific laws and phenomena of the outside world will surely be interesting for both children and adults. The area of 2.500 sq.m comprises more than 200 interactive exhibits telling fascinating stories in the spheres of mechanics, electricity, magnetics and acoustic. Optical illusions, puzzles, samples of cars, mechanisms and appliances vividly representing the possibilities of science and technology in various spheres of a modern human's life are demonstrated. Each of the exhibits may be examined independently or as a guided tour.
4. Lunarium Museum at Moscow Planetarium
Here every secret comes to light, and what's incredible becomes apparent. Founders of the museum that was opened in 2011, did their best to make it as interactive as possible. In Lunarium, everyone not only can, but should touch everything by hands, press, launch and perform scientific experiments. The museum's exhibition consists more than 80 extraordinary exhibits. They allow creating artificial clouds, generating forceful tornadoes, producing electronic power and even finding out one's weight on different planets of the Solar System.
5. "Taganka Bunker-42" Museum
Those who love rattling their nerves will enjoy genuine Soviet-era nuclear bomb-proof shelter situated at 65 m depth. This is the planet's only museum of cold war, the time when world stood on the verge of self-destruction. Thematic guided tours having titles speaking for themselves: Secrecy Label Lifted, "NVP" (basic military training), Extreme, Soviet Russia, Caribian Crisis are to visitors' choice. You can find yourself in the conference hall of the top management of the USSR, which was reconstructed pursuant to originals designs, or check whether you are able to meet the standard of Soviet basic training as regards assembly/dismantling of the Kalashnikov gun and putting on a gas mask. The trademark special effect of the "Bunker" is imitation of launch and explosion of P-36M2 "Voyevoda"nuclear missile in the alleged enemy's territory.
6. ARTSTORY Gallery of Modern Art
A brand new exhibition site on Moscow art map. Here one can see works by Russian and foreign authors working in various trends, techniques and genres; artists, photographers and sculptors of various pochs and fates. The gallery founders, collectors Mikhail Openheim and Lucine Petrosyan are interested in "investigating both the role of history in the creative activity of authors and the role of painters in creating the history itself". The gallery comprises four exhibition halls and art-residence for talented regional artists. ARTSTORY collection includes works by Aleksey Shvartsman, Nikolay Vechtmov, Anatoly Zverev, Nikolay Sitnikov, Oscar Rabin, Oleg Tselkov, Moisei Feygin and many other artists who unveil the particular and unique edge of such a complicated phenomenon as "Russian avant-garde".
7. Yevtushenko Gallery Museum
In 2010, Yevgeny Yevtushenko, a well-known Russian poet, prose writer, publicist, director, script writer, actor, photo artist and public figure granted his gallery museum to Russia as a gift by way of gratuity to the Motherland which raised and brought him up. The exhibition is opened with a collection of Yevtushenko's author's photographs entitled "My Humankind". Bright and vivid photographs illustrate various aspects of human life in the 20th century. The gallery's halls represent the works by famous masters of the 20th-21st centuries i.e. Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Fernand Léger, Joan Miró, Max Ernst, Gianni Pisani, Niko Pirosmani, Mihail Shemyakin, Juri Vassiliev, Oleg Tselkov, Sergey Moiseenko, Tatiana Shevchenko, Alexander Bibin, many of which were presented to Yevgeny Yevtushenko by their authors, sincere worshippers of his talent.
8. Museum of Retro Cars
The passion for cars is a national feature of us. As the popular quotation goes, "every Russian is an aggressive driver…" And for some Russians collecting retro cars is not just a hobby but the way of life. The Museum of Retro Cars on Rogozhsky Bank was created in 2003. Here you can find out almost everything about the history of machine-building industry, famous auto inventors and their great creations, about celebrities' favorite cars. The exhibition is situated in the center of Moscow occupying the buildings of the former auto factory. The museum's basis comprises a unique collection of retro machinery. The five showrooms represent more than 240 rare domestic and foreign cars, motorcycles, bicycles, buses, lorries and special-purpose vehicles.
9. Vodka History Museum on Izmailovo
The exhibition describes the 500-year history of the Russian national drink from the times of its invention until now. The collection represents more than 600 vodka types, ancient and modern ones, collected from around the world. Vodka is an integral part of Russian drinking tradition and cultural rituals. Its presence cannot be avoided at each significant event in the lives of the Russians. The remarkable role of vodka in Russia's history is proven by the documents, tsar's decrees and works by well-known Russian philosophers demonstrated here. The museum comprises a valuable collection of stofs and bottles manufactured by N.L.Shustov and P.A.Smirnov, the legendary vodka suppliers to the Emperor's court. The other unique exhibition that has no parallel in the world consists of bottle labels of various times and peoples. Having learned everything about vodka, you can taste it in the museum hall styled as an old Russian tavern (traktir).
10. Industrial Culture Museum
This is a truly people's museum of technical equipment and everyday life of the bygone soviet era. It is the museum of reminiscences. Most of the things exhibited here once served common people in their everyday lives, residing in their houses. Some exhibits were granted to the museum by its visitors themselves. It is no wonder that people come here in whole families and everyone can find something resonating his or her soul here. Children are attracted by the opportunity to pick a plain toys that once elated their parents. Mothers feel nostalgic seeing the mincing machines, vacuum cleaners, washing and sewing machines that once used to serve their grandmothers. While fathers have their eyes glued on already rare cars, motorcycles and other machinery marked "Made in USSR". The museum has no plates and rope barriers common for other exhibition spaces. One can touch many exhibits, hold them in hands and find out the principles of their operation.
11. Russian Valenki Museum
Valenki (Russian felt boots) has always been an integral part of Russian costume, Russian way of life, Russian winter and even Russian character. Russian Valenki Museum is the only one in Moscow where you can find much new about this footwear. Valenki make even the most severe frosts bearable. This unique footwear, having no beginning, no end, no seams, no hems, was greatly respected by Russian people of all ranks and classes. The museum represents their various models, from painted late 19th-century ones to unique designer's valenki of the present century. Felt maker has always been an honored profession in Russia, the roots of craftsmanship dating back to old centuries. Acquaintance with the methods and instruments of manual felting, stages of industrial production of felted footwear and viewing the video film in the course of the guided tour along the museum allow tracing the way of valenki creation.

Henry Winkler & 'DWTS'
July 4, 2011 by Post Team
Henry Winkler & 'DWTS', The actor also opens to THR about her new book, "I've never met an idiot on the river," his passion for fly-fishing.
Thirty-eight years after he slipped on his leather jacket to play the Fonz, Henry Winkler remains one of the guys in the entertainment world. He has just finished shooting Here Comes the Boom with Kevin James in Boston, and the third season of Royal Pains U.S. begins June 29. Next month is for England to promote the release of Hank Zipzer latest novel, his series of young adults in a child with dyslexia. With a calendar, what Winkler does to relax? The boy in the city of New York goes fly-fishing in Montana.
Winkler writes about his passion for the life of fly-fishing in his new book I've never met an idiot on the river (Insight Editions, May 31). Memoirs of a hand, part travelogue, part meditation and overcoming adversity, and the book is illustrated with beautiful photographs of the wilderness of Montana Winkler. Winkler talks about how he became a passionate fly fisherman in his forties, how he helped win the confidence to start a second career as author and taught him about perseverance and patience.
Winkler told The Hollywood Reporter by telephone from Boston about the book, his new co-star in the Royal Pains and the way they would only be dancing with the stars, if Ron Howard agreed to be his partner.
THR: Photographs of the Montana wilderness in the book is fantastic. Hard to believe you're an amateur.
Winkler: I'm so dyslexic that I've never changed a camera button. The only difference is the focal length – sometimes a close, medium or wide – and then sees what I have when I get home.
THR: One of the great things about the book is how it relates to their efforts to become a more skillful fly fisherman in the fight against dyslexia, which were not diagnosed until they were 31. I wondered if the repetition and rhythm of fly-fishing is especially attractive for a person with dyslexia.
Winkler: That's interesting. I never thought of that before. I like to think of it as a challenge, not a disability. The repetition of the same, the sound of water, it seems to be totally exhausting. Anything that bothers him is completely washed from his body. I see fly-fishing, a washing machine for your brain. My technique is still ugly as sin. But somehow get the fish.
THR: It's almost as well known for raising awareness of dyslexia as they are for performance.
Winkler: Acting has been my dream since I was seven. It makes me very happy. I love my job. That L-o-v-e. Outside of my children, I am most proud of is the books [series Hank Zipzer]. I never thought it would be a writer all my life. You tell a child that is loose, etc, is not up to their potential, says it long enough and often enough it is like a boy who calls himself [Winkler writes that is how people felt interprets his dyslexia as a] child.
THR: But we learn in the book how fly-fishing has given you confidence.
Winkler: It's true. The first time I was asked to write books that not even consider the idea. I told Alan Berger [Winkler CAA agent] who made the suggestion to me there is no way I could never write a book. Two years later made the same suggestion and had improved in the river and I said yes. I will try this. I've written 17 novels with my partner Lin Oliver. We just handed in the first novel of a new series from Scholastic [about a bullied boy who planned for the fall] – which is 18 – and then my first adult book is this book for 19.
THR: You've also reinvented himself as an actor; it can be hard to do when you've played an iconic character like the Fonz. Did you ever imagine you'd be able to do that when he finished the happy days?
Winkler: No, I did not. It is true I was in a TV show that was popular for a long time and then go to an audition and people say, "You're a great actor. You're the Fonz" For 10 years I had to bob and weave to know what was going to do. I can understand how people can fall into the edge of the earth when a popular TV shows. How disheartening it is. Two words to live your life: persistence and gratitude.

Kinetica Art Fair
Art and tech collide in a London exhibit devoted to the beauty of motion
At the entrance of the Kinetica Art Fair a confusing installation—a wall of brightly-lit exit signs—greets visitors. The exhibition gets no less paradoxical once you enter as life-like skeletons with crow skulls gesture and click their beaks above in amazingly realistic ways (though their bodies are actually robotic arms built by Dutch artist Christiaan Zwanikken).
An unusual event now in its third year, this London fair brings together kinetic, electronic, robotic, sound and light art works. Our first thought was that it's a physical coming to life of the One Dot Zero Robotica film that we saw last year, which as it happens is also showing at Kinetica. An edgy underground atmosphere pervades the exhibition, both literally, being held in the vast basement space of the Ambika P3 gallery, and stylistically with a host of international artists who are, in the best sense, geektastic.
Robotic and kinetic works especially summon images of hours tinkering in workshops to make these extraordinary creations. For example, a robotic arm capable of drawing or, one of my favorites, the handsome Interference Machine by Norwegian artist Kristoffer Myskja—a toy that makes two glasses filled with water sing by substituting a robot for a fingertip to rub the rim of the glass.
Overall, the impression at Kinetica was a celebration of the intricate delicacy of technology, not only in robotics but also a chirping egg nest light by Tomomi Sayuda, infinitely reflected LED light works by Hans Kotter, and even in digitally-cut clothing. Skin Graph, a new fashion label, uses the 3D topographical data from our bodies, tracing the contours of our physical form to create bespoke leather clothing—in effect, a second skin.
Those in London can check out the show through 6 February 2011.

Same way. It checks (lots of) dependencies, but it will rebuild only the things that are newer than the corresponding output files. You'll see "Compiling 1 file" (or something like that) in the output. Greg

Serves 8
2l water
100g kosher salt
3 tbsp pink sea salt
4 tbsp granulated sugar
1 garlic clove, bruised
3 fresh thyme sprigs
3 juniper berries
2 strips of orange zest
spice rub
1½ tbsp fennel seeds
½ tsp black peppercorns
5 cloves
2 tsp cumin seeds
4 tsp English mustard powder
2 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
5 tbsp smoked paprika
2 yellow onions, diced
1 medium fennel, diced
2 tbsp large carrots
½ heads of garlic
25g fresh thyme sprigs
500ml chicken stock
Place half the water, the salts, and sugar in a deep saucepan. Bring to a boil to dissolve the salts and sugar. Add the remaining ingredients and water for the brine. Cool to room temperature, then add the pork. Cover and refrigerate for 2–3 days.
For the spice rub, place the fennel seeds, peppercorns, cloves, and cumin seeds in a dry skillet or frying pan over low heat. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add the remaining spices and cook, stirring for another 30 seconds. Turn onto a plate to cool, then grind in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
Remove the pork from the brine and pat dry. Sprinkle the spice mixture on a large piece of waxed (greaseproof) paper. Place the pork on top of the spices and rub them into the pork. Place the pork on a wire rack over a roasting pan. Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Soak apple wood chips in water for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 250°F/125°C/gas mark 1. Drain the wood chips in a colander. Place one-quarter of the wood chips in a roasting pan in the bottom third of the oven. Place the pork on the rack over the second roasting pan in the middle of the oven. Smoke for 2 hours, adding an additional quarter of the wood chips every half hour.
To braise the pork place all of the ingredients in a Dutch oven (casserole dish) then nestle the pork in the vegetables. Turn the oven temperature up to 325°F/160°C/gas mark 3. Cover and cook for 3 hours, until the pork is tender.
While the pork is still warm pull into shreds. Serve the shredded pork with the barbecue sauce.

Candyfloss Girl has won on the all-weather over this sort of trip but not since this time last year. She has dropped a further 5lbs since weakening badly over six furlongs at Salisbury but she is hard to back. White Shift runs off a realistic mark (2lbs lower than her last winning mark) and acts on all sorts of ground and is worth considering having won here before. It is interesting connections try The Happy Hammer over this trip after running over much further of late and it is worth monitoring the betting, but the most appeal is made by STAMFORD BLUE who gets the vote. He won well over course and distance two starts ago and rated the same for this contest is nominated. Convince is the obvious danger having finished just half a length behind Stamford Blue when they raced here most recently but he prefers a longer trip.
White Shift (IRE) 16-1 (9-6) Close up, raced in centre course from halfway, not on terms with main group over 1f out, 8th of 12, 9l behind Sir Geoffrey (9-11) at Windsor 5f hcp 0-70 (5) sft in Aug.

Letters are most effective when they are timely, brief, concise and courteous. Make it easy for the legislator to understand what issue or bill you are writing about, what your position is and what action you would like him or her to take. U.S. postal-delivered mail can sometimes take up to 12 weeks to be delivered as a result of the security and screening process.
E-mail is probably the best way to send your message. It will reach your legislator quickly and not have to be held up being inspected in the mailroom. When sending an e-mail, call ahead and ask for the e-mail address of the person in charge of your issue. E-mail this person directly. While it is common in today's world to be less formal when using e-mail as opposed to mailed letters, this is not the case here. Regardless of how you deliver your message, the same rules apply. Use proper language and proper salutations, even in your e-mail.
Crafting a letter:
All of this can be easily accomplished in a one page letter in most cases. Often, IDF will have a hand-out with more detailed information you can attach to you letter, so please remember to contact us for assistance.
Some "don'ts" to keep in mind:
If the legislator replies to your letter drop him or her a quick note thanking them for their response. If they support your views, thank them. If they oppose your view, this will give you one last opportunity to change his or her mind.

At 2 on Sunday morning, dance floors were busy at the Friar Tuck Inn here. In one room, couples stamped and spun to a 50-year-old Irish group, the Tulla Ceili Band. In another, couples two-stepped to a Louisiana Cajun band, File. Elsewhere, musicians from Brittany were playing flute-driven dances. Wherever people could pull a few chairs together, musicians were sharing tunes and watching fingers fly.
The occasion was Green Linnet Records' 20th-Anniversary Bash, a three-day immersion in Celtic music. ''It's not a festival, it's a party for the musicians,'' said Wendy Newton, who owns Green Linnet, an independent label dedicated to traditional music.
Nearly all the performers were on the company's roster, which includes many of the leading lights of Celtic music, from elders to younger experimenters. All weekend, guests heard jigs and reels, strathspeys and hornpipes.
The program featured longtime Irish-music mentors like the fiddler Andy McGann and the accordionist Joe Burke, along with musicians adding modern and internationalist touches. The program also embraced the Acadians, Celts who migrated from Brittany to Nova Scotia to the Louisiana bayou. National Public Radio and the British Broadcasting Corporation recorded some of the music.
The party surveyed an evolving tradition with a growing audience. Celtic music, older musicians said, has turned flashier to please concertgoers, while regional differences are blurring. But the backbone of Celtic music is in two age-old rituals: the ceili, an ancestor of the square dance, and the seisiun, an informal run-through of old tunes. All weekend, there were evening-long ceilis in which 20-year-olds and 70-year-olds whirled together, and seisiuns in which professionals mingled with amateurs. The music remained grounded in its past. And while some groups unveiled hybrids, the youngest musicians, like Patrick Mangan, a 12-year-old fiddler, were traditionalists.Continue reading the main story
It was Green Linnet's fourth annual party. The event has tripled in size to more than 1,500 people, coming from as far as Alaska, Illinois and Texas; its marathon program draws dedicated fans. Thomas O'Dea flew in from Surrey, England, for the weekend and danced nonstop. Three days after the event was announced by mailing list and Internet, the inn's 450 available rooms were sold out; seven nearby inns held the overflow. There was no paid advertising.
Green Linnet has been both an instigator and a beneficiary of a surge of interest in Celtic arts. ''Twenty years ago,'' said the Irish fiddler Kevin Burke, ''not many people outside Irish communities were aware of the music. Now, anyone who has a general interest in acoustic music knows about Irish music.''
Celtic immigrants have held on to their culture. ''The Celts were always traveling,'' said Johnny Cunningham, a Scottish fiddler who has written music for ''Peter and Wendy,'' to be presented at the New Victory Theater in February. ''But wherever they travel, they take what's important: music, poetry, dancing, storytelling and humor. Those are the most portable of cultural items.''
Generations of Irish-Americans have taken up their parents' music. Patrick Mangan, a New Yorker who won the All-Ireland competition for fiddlers under 12 in 1994, studied classical violin at 6 and picked up fiddle tunes two years later because, he said, ''I was always exposed to the music.'' His younger brother Sean played pennywhistle.
Outsiders have been discovering the Celtic heritage, lately through the popularity of Riverdance. ''The old melodies are simple and easily catch the ear,'' said Joanie Madden, the Irish-American flutist who leads Cherish the Ladies. ''And the standard of musicianship is extremely high.'' Soloists perform Celtic melodies with intricate ornaments and dazzling variations. ''You want to show off a bit,'' said the accordionist Joe Derrane.
Unlike other festivals, where performers are separated from spectators, the party fostered propinquity. At the inn, musicians and fans met in hallways, over drinks, in workshops and at seisiuns. Many audience members were toting instruments.
Charles Sporn, a lawyer from Brooklyn who brought his fiddle, said on Sunday: ''I've been playing constant seisiuns. Last night I was playing until 3 A.M., and as soon as I vacated my seat someone took it.''
Most musicians changed partners more often than an Irish set dancer. The program included concert-style sets by established groups including the Irish band Nomos and the English folk-rock pioneers Fairport Convention, and by groups that mixed generations and nationalities. First-rate soloists were also enlisted in ceili bands. ''For this weekend, they throw people together that don't normally work together,'' Mr. Cunningham said. ''And people throw caution to the winds.''
During Friday's rainstorm, when the power went out, it took the musicians only a few minutes to adjust. Accordions and fiddles, now as always, don't need to be plugged in.Continue reading the main story

Inside pitch
MLB decided to settle its lawsuit
and permit the Twins to play through at least 2003 because Minnesota attorneys
had the right to peruse all documents and check the accounting. Major
league clubs don't want their books open to the public. ... If baseball
starts cracking down on steroids, players want to know if they'll also
ban amphetamines, which may be more rampant than steroids. ... The Blue
Jays are expected to trade Esteban Loaiza and Chris Carpenter
before the All-Star break. ... Dodgers pitcher Omar Daal wants
out if he's returned to the bullpen when Kevin Brown comes off
the DL. ... The Braves, Pirates and Marlins are interested in Reds first
baseman Sean Casey, if he is moved. ... White Sox first baseman
Paul Konerko is second in the AL in RBI, but he isn't listed on the
All-Star ballot, replaced instead by Frank Thomas at first base.
... There are two high-profile prospective owners ready to buy the Expos
if MLB permits the franchise to move to Northern Virginia, but MLB would
prefer to contract the Expos and another team, such as one of the Florida
teams. ... Prayers go out to Padres bench coach Rob Picciolo, 49,
who had surgery this week to repair an abdominal aneurysm. Picciolo will
be out at least until the All-Star break.

The St. Paul Saints of the Northern League are giving fans
a chance to speak with their, ahem, bottom lines on June 7.
The first 2,500 fans will receive seat cushions with a
photo of Bud Selig on one side and Donald Fehr on the other.
Saints assistant GM Bill Fisher said the most difficult
aspect of the promotion was finding a good, usable picture of Selig.
"Actually, the picture of Bud is quite good," Fisher said.
"Donald Fehr looks a little fat."
Aw, shucks, he was just having fun
After the Angels' Class A Cedar Rapids affiliate completed
a series sweep May 31, the Kernels' mascot "Mr. Shucks"
walked around the field waving a broom. Cedar Rapids manager Todd Claus,
offended that the mascot was showing up the opposing team, demanded that Mr.
Shucks hand over the broom.
When Mr. Shucks refused, the Cedar Rapids Gazette
reported, Claus put the mascot into a headlock, wrestled the broom away and
broke it in two.
Math according to Rickey
We all know that Rickey Henderson thinks very highly
of himself, but come on. The Red Sox outfielder, taking exception to Ken
Caminiti's estimate that 50% of major leaguers use steroids, told The
Boston Globe: "Well, I'm not one of them, so that's 49% right there."
Always clean your plate
Seattle manager Lou Piniella kicked up a Florida
dust storm during a loss in Tampa Bay last week.
Piniella seethed over home plate umpire John Shulock's
calls for five innings before replays of Tampa Bay's five-run third inning brought
Sweet Lou storming out of the dugout. Piniella pointed angrily at the video
screen highlights and got himself ejected.
After getting run, Piniella kicked dirt on home plate,
then got down on one knee and finished the job by hand.
When the game resumed, Shulock refused to sweep the plate.
Dan Wilson had to do the dirty work first with his feet and then
with Shulock's brush.
"I wish I had been out there," Piniella said. "We would've
played with a dirty plate the rest of the ballgame, I can tell you that."
Culture shock
Satoru Komiyama was an innocent bystander June 1
when catcher Mike Piazza and manager Bobby Valentine were ejected
in the seventh inning. Komiyama stood quietly by as Piazza erupted at home plate
umpire Mark Wegner and Valentine went nose-to-nose with crew chief Ed
Afterward, Komiyama said that managers arguing with umpires
was not unusual in Japan, but for an umpire to scream back and escalate the
confrontation is taboo.
"I've never seen the umpire say bad things to a manager,"
Komiyama said.
It finally comes around
Former pitcher and current television broadcaster Bert
Blyleven pulled off more than his share of pranks during his playing days.
Angels' hitting coach Mickey Hatcher got even Saturday.
Blyleven was inducted into the Twins Hall of Fame and was
given a standing ovation by the Metrodome fans as his banner was unveiled.
Prior to the ceremony, Hatcher cut off Blyleven's expensive
tie just below the chin. During the ceremony, Hatcher joked: "It wasn't steroids
that made him look this old it was the hemorrhoids."
The gloves come off
The sum of all actor Ben Affleck's fears last week
was the Red Sox duo of infielder Lou Merloni and outfielder Trot
Nixon. During a guest commentator's gig on a Red Sox television broadcast
from Toronto, Affleck, a loyal Red Sox fan, criticized Merloni for saying the
team had made a "mockery" of his career by demoting him repeatedly, and ripped
Nixon's batting average against lefties.
"A mockery?" Merloni said after the game. "A mockery is
his last four movies."
Nixon added: "Matt Damon made you what you are,
Slick." Damon and Affleck won an Oscar for best original screenplay for Good
Will Hunting.
All parties made up the following day. But, in the interests
fairness, it should be pointed out that while Nixon is hitting just .114 against
lefties, Affleck has also starred in the critical and box-office bomb Phantoms

Bangalore: India is still the world's favourite destination for offshore outsourcing, but attractive cost structures in the Philippines, Vietnam and Indonesia and the rapid growth of the business in China are posing tough competition, reports PTI quoting a new study by Gartner Inc.
In the study, the IT research and advisory firm identified the top 30 countries around the world for globally sourced activities in 2010-11, rating them on the basis of 10 criteria.
Many organisations that choose to move IT services to lower-cost countries are daunted by the task of determining which country, or countries, would best suit their requirement. Gartner conducted an analysis of these countries to assess their capabilities and potential as offshore services locations, it said.
India retained its position as the most successful country among global offshore locations, as per the Gartner study. It scored well across all 10 criteria. While its cost-competitiveness is being challenged due to the rising rupee, this is compensated by its strength in other areas, as per Gartner's study.
"Clients continue to seek a portfolio of offshore countries and with India again experiencing increasing labour costs and attrition, this is creating opportunities for other offshore locations to target the services needs of more-mature Asian clients," said Gartner Research vice-president Ian Marriott.
China improved its scores for "political and economic environment" from "good" to "very good", and "culture compatibility" from "fair" to "good".
Contributing to the increased rating for China is its rising global political and economic leverage, especially in the wake of the recent global economic crisis.
China experienced a steady positive growth rate, spurred by a $583.9 billion stimulus package, in 2009. The Shanghai 2010 World Expo has helped increase cultural awareness within China, which has helped the growth of the business in the country, according to the study.
Gartner's scores for the Philippines remain largely unchanged, although its rating for "global and legal maturity" fell from "good" to "fair".
Gartner continues to see foreign companies being attracted to the Philippine's young, experienced labour pool specialising in contact centres and finance and accounting (F&A) business process outsourcing (BPO), complemented by its good language and cultural compatibility with western economies.

The unitholders of the scheme who don't want to convert their scheme into an open-ended scheme may redeem their units at applicable NAV or switch to other open-ended schemes of Kotak Mahindra Mutual Fund without paying any exit load between 25 December 2010 and 25 January 2011.
Fidelity MF declares dividend under Tax Advantage Fund
Fidelity Mutual Fund has declared dividend under its scheme–Fidelity Tax Advantage Fund. The quantum of dividend decided for distribution under the scheme is Rs1.50 per unit. The record date for distribution of dividend is 21 December 2010. Fidelity Tax Advantage Fund is an open-ended ELSS scheme. The investment objective of the fund is to generate long-term capital growth from a diversified portfolio of predominantly equity and equity-related securities.
The scheme is benchmarked against BSE-200 Index and is managed by Sandeep Kothari.
New Delhi: If this year's preparations on India's next Five-Year Plan (2012-17) provide any indication, the Planning Commission is likely to set ambitious targets for economic growth and infrastructure development for the period, reports PTI.
Clouded by the global economic meltdown that began in 2008, the current Plan (2007-12) needed a lot of scaling down of the targets and the mid-term review was quite straight about it.
Against this backdrop, the Plan panel kicked off the process of formulating the 12th Five-Year Plan, which may eventually see the official think-tank pegging the annual growth rate at 10%, up from 8.1% in the current Plan.
The Planning Commission started the process of preparing the Approach Paper in the second quarter this fiscal and it is expected to be ready by March 2011.
It is the key document on the basis of which the detailed Five-Year Plan is worked out. The 12th Plan will commence on 1 April 2012.
Unlike earlier years, this time the panel is seeking inputs from individuals as well—besides heavy-weight stakeholders—to make the process of Plan formulation more inclusive, for which it has set up a special website.
Before launching the preparatory work for the next Plan, the Commission came out in March with a Mid-Term Appraisal (MTA) of the 11th Plan.
The review took note of the impact of the global financial meltdown on the Indian economy and also the projections for growth. It scaled down the growth estimate from 9% to 8.1%.
The review was considered and approved by the National Development Council (NDC)—the highest policy making body in the country—headed by the prime minister and comprising key Union ministers and state chief ministers.
"The average rate of growth in the Plan period could be a little over 8% (8.1%). This would be below the original plan target of an average of 9% growth...
But it would be better than the 7.8% achieved in the Tenth Plan period," the Commission said in the MTA.
It said the economy will expand by 8.5% in 2010-11 and rise to 9% in the terminal year of the 11th Plan.
It had set an average annual growth target of 9% for the 11th Plan—beginning with 8.5% in the first year and closing with 10% in 2011-12.
The MTA document said the economy exceeded expectations in 2007-08, with a growth rate of 9%, but the momentum was interrupted in 2008-09 because of the global financial crisis.
Following the global meltdown, the growth rate slipped to 6.7% in 2008-09 from over 9% in the preceding three years.
For the following year, the growth rate was pegged at 7.2%, despite poor contribution from the farm sector that was projected to shrink by 0.2%, the MTA said.
However, according to government data released later in May, the economy grew by 7.4% in 2009-10.
Buoyed by the recovery since the last meeting of the full Planning Commission on 1 September 2009, the document said, "The economy would be well-positioned for transition to a growth rate higher than 9% in the Twelfth Plan period."
For achieving a high growth rate, the Commission suggested that the government focus on fiscal consolidation and maintaining an investor-supportive economic environment.
Finance minister Pranab Mukherjee, too, had said in his budget speech, "The first challenge before us is to quickly revert to the high GDP growth path of 9% and then find the means to cross the double-digit growth barrier."
The other important indication given by the Commission is its thrust on infrastructure development in the 12th Plan. The Commission, on many occasions, categorically pointed out that double-digit economic growth can only be achieved when investment in infrastructure is doubled.
It reiterated prime minister Manmohan Singh's stress on the need to double investments in the infrastructure sector during the 12th Plan to $1 trillion from $500 billion in the current Five Year Plan.
"Preliminary exercises suggest that investment in infrastructure will have to expand to $1,000 billion in the 12th Five Year Plan. I urged the finance ministry and the Planning Commission to draw a plan of action for achieving this level of investment," Mr Singh said in March this year.
In a foreword to a report on investment in infrastructure, Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia also said the country needs an investment of over $1 trillion in the infrastructure sector during the next Five Year Plan.
"A preliminary assessment suggests that investment in infrastructure during the 12th Plan would need to be of the order of about Rs40.99 lakh crore ($1,025 billion) to achieve a share of 9.95% as a proportion of the GDP," Mr Ahluwalia said.
The year gone by also left some stains on the Commission.
Addressing an infrastructure summit organised by the panel in July, road transport and highways minister Kamal Nath termed the Planning Commission an "armchair advisor", oblivious to the ground realities.
That apart, in August, Left-leaning students of Presidency College hurled eggs and tomatoes at Mr Ahluwalia to protest against price rise as he was leaving a seminar, but missed their target. His wife, Isher Judge Ahluwalia, was also present at the seminar.
"They are students and they have every right to protest," Mr Ahluwalia said after the incident.

Instead of wearing one with low cut jeans, opt for high waisted jeans that will cover up more skin on the belly, leaving just a bit peeking through. Chriselle Lim wore her black, scoop neckline crop top with a pair of high waist, cropped and flare jeans. To complete the look, add in some clear sunglasses and chic mules.
Get the look:
+ Gentle Monster Roy Sunglasses
+ Elliatt Statue Top
+ Halter Neck Bardot Crop Top
+ Denim x Alexander Wang Flex Crop Jean
+ Topshop Mariah Metallic Heel Mules
