Daily Prayer 2004-12-06
Listen to podcast version here.
December 6, 2004Monday of the Second Week of Advent
Father Jason Koch, LCLuke 5:17-26One day as Jesus was teaching,
Pharisees and teachers of the law, who had come from
every village of Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem, were sitting
there, and the power of the Lord was with him
for healing. And some brought on a stretcher a man
who was paralyzed; they were trying to bring him in
and set him in his presence. But not finding a
way to bring him in because of the crowd, they
went up on the roof and lowered him on the
stretcher through the tiles into the middle in front of
Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, As for
you, your sins are forgiven. Then the scribes and Pharisees
began to ask themselves, Who is this who speaks blashemies?
Who but God alone can forgive sins? Jesus knew their
thoughts and said to them in reply, What are you
thinking in your hearts? Which is easer to say, your
sins are forgiven, or to say, Rise and walk? But
that you may know that the Son of Man has
authority on earth to forgive sins he said to
the one who was paralyzed, I say to you, rise
pick up your stretcher, and go home. He stood up
immediately before them, picked up what he had been lying
on, and went home, glorifying God. Then astonishment seized them
all and they glorified God, and, struck with awe, they
said, We have seen incredible things today.Introductory Prayer:Lord, thank you
once again for giving me this moment to spend time
with you in prayer. Help me to make you truly
the center, the most important thing in these minutes of
prayer time. Help me to detach myself from anything that
might distract me from you or keep me from uniting
myself with your most holy will. Grant me the grace
to put order in my priorities in life. Petition:O Lord,
grant that all my actions today may glorify you and
may draw many souls to your love. Help me to
be consciously growing in my spiritual life.1. They Brought a
Man Who Was Paralyzed. One of the greatest things in
life is becoming aware of the gifts we have received
from God and using them for the good of others.
We often can wonder about the paralyzed man and how
he became so. Was he born paralyzed? Maybe he had
an accident? Was he responsible for the situation in some
way? Did it come suddenly or was it gradual? In
our spiritual lives, we can unfortunately become paralyzed. Sometimes our
human respect and vanity confines us to our stretcher and
comfort zone. Christ wants to be my everything and can
help me overcome the tendency to vanity. 2. Your Sins
are Forgiven.Seeing the faith of the men, Christ acknowledges them
and says to the paralyzed man, Your sins are forgiven.
How the man must have longed to hear these words
and feel the peace of soul that it brings. Only
a person centered on himself would question the validity of
Christs assertion. The Pharisees and scribes begin murmuring, and Christ
in order to prove that he has the power to
forgive sins makes a further show of love for the
paralyzed man: he heals him of his paralysis. Christ will
always be there to bring us closer to him, and
through the sacrament of reconciliation, he shows us the depth
of his love by forgiving us our sins.3. Rise and
Walk! Once forgiven of his sins the burden is lifted
from the man. His newfound dignity demands that he hold
his head up high. Christs generosity is beyond our imagination
and surpasses ours by far. Christ tells him to rise
and walk, to take up the stretcher and move on
in life. Christ invites us everyday to grow in our
virtue and soar like an eagle to the heights of
holiness. Sin ties us down and makes us slaves to
our passions, emotions and insecurities. By receiving absolution in confession,
the chain is cut and once again we are freed
in Christ to fly high. All we need to do
is trust in Gods mercy.Dialogue with Christ: Jesus, I realize
today that your love is forgiving and that you truly
can forgive my sins through the sacrament of reconciliation. You
know that I have not always appreciated this sacrament as
I ought. Help me to understand and trust more in
your mercy and love. Help me prepare for your coming
and make a good confession always and on a regular
basis. Resolution: I will set aside time in my schedule
in order to go to confession this week, and today
I will start preparing for this encounter.

I inherited this pillow from my grandmother and was hoping to find out more about it--how old it is, are there other similar ones out there, who made it?
It seems to me that the fabric is silk, there are no other marking on it except for the dogs, and is approximately 10.5" x 11"
Thanks for any clues! I wasn't sure how to categorize it so took a guess.

What's Thanksgiving without the thanks?
We asked people around the county to jot down why they feel gratitude. Their reasons run the gamut, from work and Xbox to family love.
We're sharing with you what they shared with us.
Armed with camera, notebook and pen (plus a few fat Sharpie markers and pads of 11-by-14 paper) Register photographer Eugene Garcia and reporter Theresa Walker went to downtowns, shopping centers, the beach. They chatted with walkers, breakfast eaters, shop owners. They hung with the homeless, artists, kids fishing and skateboarders on afternoon rides.
They sought (but only sometimes found) people in some unexpected places, too – a Buddhist temple, a stable, a kosher market.
The people they met were asked to jot a few words of gratitude and stand for a photo. Some were too busy to stop. Many others made time. A few even found a few extra minutes to add some doodles and drawings.
But the last words exchanged were always the same: "Have a Happy Thanksgiving."

The Breakfast Wars Are Back
CHICAGO – Despite seeing a slowdown in growth last year, the breakfast daypart remains fairly strong, with solid potential for the future.
From 2007 to 2012, breakfast outpaced the overall industry with a 2.6-percent gain compared to a 0.4-percent gain, respectively, with approximately two-thirds of that growth coming from limited-service restaurants. Today, full-service restaurants are struggling at breakfast as consumers choose options that are faster and cheaper, and consumer interest in overall breakfast outside the home has lessened slightly as they don't see anything new.
"Nothing's really hooked them," Technomic Inc. Principal Wade Hanson said Tuesday during the latest installment in the "Technomic Talks" webinar series, titled "Breakfast: A Holistic View." Hanson guided attendees through the latest innovations and consumer opinions as the morning competition heats up, noting that Technomic still "view[s] the potential for breakfast as solid going forward."
The latest developments in the daypart include new entrants, such as Taco Bell and its recently launched breakfast program. Taco Bell executives have declined to give exact sales figures, but claim the program is off to a "great start." Some analysts even speculated that the recent slump in McDonald's breakfast sales was due to new competition.
Top new concepts include biscuits and doughnut variations, along with products influenced by ethnic cuisines, while notable trends include lighter/healthier options, premium ingredients, an emphasis on value all along the price spectrum, and customization.
Younger consumers particularly value customization. "They want breakfast prepared the way they want it," Hanson said, and they "will go to other operations if they have to."
On the retail side, "convenience stores have always been a big player in the breakfast daypart and continue to be so," according to Hanson. Technomic is also seeing more development on the supermarket side. Both channels continue to introduce new packaged food, but interest in breakfast is centered on prepared food, with many retailers committing to their foodservice programs despite barriers to entry and past failures.
To retain the interest of existing breakfast customers and attract new ones, retailers should educate themselves on consumers' evolving opinions. They are more interested in eating breakfast away from home, especially due to their busy schedules, and 68 percent say grabbing a to-go breakfast is more convenient than eating at home. Consumers also associate breakfast with health and consider it important to eat a nutritious meal in the morning.
Overall, Technomic research shows that while breakfast will continue to perform, its momentum is slowing so innovation will be especially critical. Both operator and consumer demands are high, but by satisfying them, consumers will be more likely to make breakfast part of their routine -- meaning a sunnier future for the morning daypart.

CUTTING TIES with a Republican-linked public advocacy group, Drakes Bay Oyster Co. has given its critics one less thing to complain about.
The Point Reyes oyster farm's owners, the Lunny family, decided to sever its connections to Cause of Action, after the Washington, D.C.-based advocacy group challenged a PBS-TV story and demanded that it disclose its background material and outtakes.
Kevin Lunny said it was an overstep by Cause of Action that he could not support.
Lunny made the right move.
Cause of Action and its conservative Republican links had become an ample target for oyster farm critics. It was obscuring the real issues in the debate over the oyster farm.
Critics did their best to shape the debate as a Republican-driven wedge to open national parklands for private development.
In reality, there has been a business harvesting oysters in Drakes Estero for nearly 100 years. The parkland leased to Johnson's Oysters and, in recent years, to Drakes Bay Oyster Co., has been designated for potential wilderness for decades.
The future of the oyster farm deserves to be decided without the interference of Beltway politics.
There are many issues — fairness, wilderness, local control vs. national interests, jobs, agriculture in parkland, history and environmental preservation — that should transcend Washington party politics.
In November, after years of debate, then-Interior Secretary Kenneth Salazar announced that the federal government was going to let the oyster company's lease expire, requiring the Lunny family to remove its business, allowing the site to be restored to wilderness.
Salazar's decision followed a political push by the National Park Service and some environmental groups to end the lease. The park service's handling of the lease should never be held up as a model for fair and open landlord-tenant relations.
Lunny has sued, challenging the Interior Department's decision and the environmental report that led up to it. The decision is now in the hands of judges of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court. A decision is expected in the coming weeks.
Cause of Action has provided legal and PR support for Lunny's last-ditch effort to keep the oyster farm open.
Kevin Lunny, in severing ties with Cause of Action, thanked it for its work and noted that he had a different approach to the media and free press.
"We defend freedom of the press. Our goal and mission is to save farming and farmland in West Marin and West Marin's agricultural economy," Lunny said.
Lunny and his local legal team retain that local focus. Cause of Action's involvement raised questions about broader political implications and agendas.
Lunny's decision puts the focus back on the family-run oyster business, keeping Marin's small but growing aquaculture industry thriving and a longheld federal goal of expanding wilderness areas in Point Reyes National Seashore.

Salty DogIn addition to evoking Zynga's canine corporate logo, the salty dog includes a nutritious dose of grapefruit juice, which will help fortify your body against the ravages of a post-layoff, post-stock-dive, or post-FarmVille-overspending binge.
Shot of Evan WilliamsEvan Williams isn't just the name of Twitter's co-founder and earliest financial benefactor; it's also a damned fine-value bourbon. "It's a terrific deal," Eric Felten wrote in The Wall Street Journal. "Evan Williams is made of whiskey that has been in oak for five to seven years, and the extra age comes through. The nice spicy rye in the mash also comes through, giving the bourbon a dash of cinnamon that keeps the vanilla sweetness from cloying." In deference to the microblogging service from the bourbon's namesake, limit your evening to three shots -- or around 140ml.
Yoohoo and BourbonYoohoo, if you've not tried it, is kind of like chocolate milk, much as Yahoo is kind of like Google. As for the bourbon, it's historically paired well with checking the value of Yahoo stock options. (Maybe under new CEO Marissa Mayer champagne will become a more appropriate pairing.)
BelliniThis trendy combination of Prosecco and peach puree is both elegant and girly, much like the idea-sharing site we've paired it with. Now raise a toast to conspicuous consumption.
AbsintheThough favored by 19th century poets like Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, absinthe was alleged to turn its devotees into crazy addicts. Where Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was said to disorient his followers with a "Reality Distortion Field," absinthe was said to unleash a "Green Fairy" on its victims. As with Apple, absinthe was nearly destroyed by ill-informed groupthink before mounting a 21st-century comeback.
PernodSamsung's Android-powered smartphones and tablets are kind of -- kind of -- like iPhones and iPads. Or at least they are in the same disappointing sense that Pernod, created by Paul Ricard after the widespread banning of absinthe, is kind of like absinthe, but not quite. (It lacks wormwood and green anise.) Just as Android pioneered its own computing niche in 7-inch tablets, Pernod is a preferred ingredient in the cold-water drink often referred to as a pastis.
A Homemade Elderberry MartiniThe sensibility behind Etsy, a Brooklyn-based e-commerce site for artisans, dovetails well with the craft cocktail movement. This drink pairs the cocktail-snob appear of an exotic, all-natural liqueur with the DIY vibe of a drink simple enough to be made in your own kitchen.
Old FashionedPersonal computing's original stalwart Microsoft has been eclipsed by Apple and Google, yes. But the enduring power and endless variations of its operating system call to mind this stalwart mixture of rye or bourbon whiskey, bitters, sugar, water and ice. You can argue over the role, if any, of lemon peel, brandied cherry, and (shudder) orange slices, and you can swap in brandy for the whiskey or gum syrup for the sugar. No one can stop you from calling your drink an old fashioned, even if it's as different from the granddad's as Windows ME was from Windows 2000, or Windows RT is from Windows Vista.
Molson, Room Temperature
It's Canadian. It's humdrum. And it's decidedly not cool. Are we talking about the beer or the Canadian BlackBerry maker? We're talking about both.
Deconstructed Negroni
The Wall Street Journal's cocktail writer Eric Felten referred to this as a "non-mixed mixed drink," since it turns a red Italian apertif (Aperol, in this case) into a foam and layers it on top of gin rather than mixing the two together as in a regular Negroni. This deconstructed cocktail is considered part of the "molecular gastronomy" movement, in which science is applied to food, an unabashedly nerdy and quantitative approach that would be right at home at Mountain View, California-based Google, which sometimes seems to operate as much like a research university as a business.
Box of Sake
Square's CEO Jack Dorsey is all about details, fussing over the fit and finish of the iPhone icons for his payment app and asking his graphic designers to emulate the stitching on an Hermès wallet. Which makes him perfect for the Japanese fermented rice beverage Imbibe described as an "amazing world of flavors, both subtle and bold." That Dorsey is a fan of jeans woven in Japan and the Japanese concept of "wabi-sabi" -- and that sake is often drunk from square containers -- is just a nice bonus of this pairing.
A 12-pack of Pabst
Like the online discounter we've paired it with, Pabst isn't a highbrow choice. But it's a hit with the stingy, young and old alike. The same goes for Groupon - both its deals and its battered stock.
Jäger With Budweiser Chaser
Beer pong was a big part of the early company culture at Facebook, according to author and Fortune writer David Kirkpatrick, which sounds about right for a startup founded by a frat brother from his dorm room. The company may have evolved and grown in the meantime, but as the nacho restaurant on its corporate campus proves, the young company still clings to its campus-life roots. Hence the decidedly collegiate booze combo, as ill advised as a keg stand -- or a rash change to your privacy policy.
Long Island Iced Tea
In fairness, a Dropbox installation goes down much smoother than this infamous hydra-headed highball. But like the computer folder Dropbox syncs for you across the internet, the Long Island iced tea contains a little bit of everything.

9 Royal Heirs Around the World
Queen Elizabeth was not the most demonstrative or affectionate parent. Over generations, royal parenting has evolved greatly, and the forward-thinking Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will continue to make strides in modernizing the royal family. But no matter how hard the new baby's parents may try, the Duke and Duchess' of Cambridge's child will never be normal. The third in line to the throne will have a childhood unlike any other. Here's what you can expect to see for the little royal.
Friends, family, and strangers from around the world will be sending presents by the boatload to the new parents. However, don't think that they're asking for it. As with clothes, they won't accept gifts from the general public or companies nearby—only from people 'personally known to them — all other gifts are sent back. However, don't feel too badly for the baby for missing out on all that swag. It's safe to say that the people who are personally known to them, including foreign heads of state, celebrities, and British socialites will pull through with outrageous and expensive baby gifts. What sort of items will the royal baby be receiving? Expect silver, engraved rattles, hand-knit stuffed animals, and valuable antiques from the Queen herself. Not to mention, the child will have full access to the toys once belonging to Queen Victoria's children. Talk about a royal perk!

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I've been playing around with full text search in SQL Server 2008 and was intrigued by the DMF sys.dm_fts_parser(). It allows you to see the result of the word-breaking occurring within full text search. If you execute the query:
select * from sys.dm_fts_parser('"Hello Greg. How are you? I haven''t seen you for a while."',1033,0,0);
It returns the following data (along with some other columns):
occurrence special_term display_term------------------------------------------1 Exact Match hello2 Exact Match greg10 End Of Sentence END OF FILE11 Noise Word how12 Noise Word are13 Noise Word you21 End Of Sentence END OF FILE22 Noise Word i23 Exact Match haven't24 Exact Match seen25 Noise Word you26 Noise Word for27 Noise Word a28 Noise Word while36 End Of Sentence END OF FILE
(15 row(s) affected)
That's really sweet as it lets you parse text into words. The 1033 was the locale I chose and the other two parameters were a stop word list (formerly called a noise word list) and whether or not it should be accent sensitive.

Thanks Greg, that's very cool.
I have yet to implement anything that uses FullText, but I agree with others, this seems very useful.
so, is the only used by Full-Text?
or somehow we can use it as a string-split function as well? and filter out the noise word
@jerryhung, I think that this is the cool thing. Running that function will return a resultset which you could use for exactly the purpose that you've mentioned.
But still no position information...sigh...

AIREDALE Hospital's midwifery-led maternity unit has celebrated its first birthday.
Some of the first mums to give birth at the unit were invited back to help mark the milestone.
They were joined by midwives, plus expectant mothers due to give birth in the next couple of months.
The event included talks fromJulie Hinchliffe, interim head of midwifery, student midwives and labour ward co-ordinator Sherrylynne Babolcsay, who spoke about the increased use of water in labour and birth over the past year.
Guests included Jacque Gerrard, the Royal College of Midwives director for England.
She said: "It was great to look around the facilities on offer at Airedale and to meet some of the midwives and mums.
"The emphasis on midwife-led care here fits in nicely with the Royal College of Midwives' Better Births campaign, which focuses on the promotion of normality for all women.
"Many congratulations to all the team for reaching this first milestone and long may their success in the unit continue."
The unit – officially opened in July last year by BBC Look North weather presenter Lisa Gallagher and Cathy Warwick, chief executive of the Royal College of Midwives – includes four birthing suites with private decked patio areas, en-suite wet room facilities and state-of-the-art birthing equipment. Two of the suites have large pools for water births or support during labour.

The Prudential Ride 100 bike event set to weave its way through Surrey and parts of London today, has been shortened due to bad weather.
What was originally mapped out as a 100mile course, will now miss off Leith Hill and Box Hill in Surrey- reducing the length to 86 miles.
The decision follows a Met Office forecast of localised, heavy rain in the area.
Hugh Brashner, event director, said: " Our primary concern is for the safety of all participants, volunteers and staff.
"Please follow the instructions of our stewards and marshals at all times.
"Please ride appropriately in these wet and windy conditions- leave more space between you and your fellow riders and moderate your speed."
About 24,000 amateur cyclists are expected to tackle the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100, a challenge ride on closed roads through London and Surrey.
The cyclists start at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in east London, before heading to Canary Wharf and then passing through the City of London.
Particpants will later ride through Richmond Park and Kingston-upon-Thames, before finishing at Putney Bridge.
The course also passes through Merton, Raynes Park, and Wimbledon Hill, as well as making tracks through parts of Elmbridge.
The first batch of cyclists left at 6am and the last group left at 8:30am.
From 1pm today 150 of the world's best professional men will race against each other in the Prudential RideLondon-Surrey Classic, an extended 200km version of the amateur route.

- AUD slides to $US1.0454

- Solid earnings boost US shares
- ASX notches up eighth day of gains

Gold notched its biggest weekly drop this year as an improving global economic outlook sent the safe-haven metal below a key technical support.
Bullion fell below its 200-day moving average, which it had held for the most part in the last five months, as US equities measured by the S&P 500 rose for an eighth day for its longest winning streak in more than eight years.
Friday's encouraging US housing data and signs of stability in the euro zone pressured gold. Traders said next week's Federal Reserve policy meeting and US employment data will likely set the tone for the gold market.
"If next week's unemployment number comes in a little better than expected or even at expectation, that will put pressure on the market," said Frank McGhee, head precious metals trader at Integrated Brokerage Services LLC.
Spot gold was down 0.6 per cent at $US1,657.54 an ounce by 3:15 PM (2015 GMT), having earlier touched its lowest since Jan. 11 at $US1,655.39 an ounce.
The metal was 1.5 per cent lower this week, its worst weekly performance since the week of Dec. 23.
Gold could rise toward $US1,680 late next week after a test of support at $US1,640-1,650 due to weak technical momentum, said
Carlos Sanchez, director of commodities and asset management at CPM Group.
Gold priced in euros fell further, touching an eight-month low at 1,230.03 euros an ounce, as the single unit rallied on news banks will pay more cash than expected back to the European Central Bank in a sign that the banking system was stabilising.
Gold also came under pressure after data showed sales of new US single-family homes rose last year to the highest since 2009 despite a weak December.
US COMEX gold futures for February delivery settled down $US13.30 at $US1,656.60 an ounce.
Trading volume was 10 per cent above its 250-day average, preliminary Reuters data showed, partially boosted by February-April contract rollover ahead of February's first-notice day on Jan. 31.
Silver, which tends to be more volatile than gold, dropped 1.5 per cent to $US31.14 an ounce.
Physical demand improving
Bullion buying from China and India, the world's two largest gold consumers, has dwindled after a brisk start in the first two weeks of January, dealers said.
The price slump of the past few days, however, has triggered some physical buying interest, they said.
Bullion investors now await next week's Fed Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement on Wednesday and nonfarm payrolls on Friday for more clues on US monetary policy and the state of the world's largest economy.
Among platinum group metals, platinum was up 0.7 per cent at $US1,690.12 for a nearly 1.5 per cent weekly gain, extending its winning streak to a fourth week, its longest in a year. Spot palladium rose 1.9 per cent to $US737.81 an ounce.

Ian Desmond finished 4-for-4, and his eighth- inning infield single was responsible for the deciding run as Washington clipped Colorado, 5-4, in the rubber match of a three-game series at Coors Field.
Ryan Zimmerman added a two-run homer and drove in three for the Nationals, who have won four of five overall and continue their nine-game road trip in Cleveland on Friday.
"We believe in ourselves and we know we can get it done with the bats," said Desmond.
Craig Stammen (4-2) allowed one hit in two scoreless relief innings, and Rafael Soriano managed to pick up his 17th save despite allowing a run in the ninth.
Tyler Colvin, Wilin Rosario and Todd Helton drove in a run each for the Rockies, who have dropped three of five and saw three of their top performers exit with injuries.
Outfielders Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler left with foot and hand injuries, respectively, and shortstop Troy Tulowitzki exited with what MLB.com is reporting to be a broken rib on his right side. He is expected to miss 4- to-6 weeks.
Tulowitzki was forced from the contest while diving for a grounder in the eighth inning.
Matt Belisle (4-3) was charged with two runs on three hits in the deciding frame.
Roger Bernadina's pinch-hit double with one out in the eighth turned into the lead run when Zimmerman followed by bouncing a two-bagger off the right-field wall. He moved up on Jayson Werth's grounder, then Adam LaRoche walked and Desmond's infield hit to short made it 5-3. A wild pitch and walk then loaded the bases, but Suzuki grounded out to keep it a two-run margin.
Nolan Arenado singled with one gone in the Rockies' last turn at the plate, then went to second on defensive indifference and scored when pinch-hitter Helton laced a two-out single to center. Disaster was averted when Jonathan Herrera popped out to end the game.
Dexter Fowler began the home first with a double and scored on a one-out single by pinch-hitter Colvin.
Washington came back with two in the third as Nationals starter Ross Detwiler led off with a base hit and came in on Zimmerman's two-out, two-run homer.
Colorado moved back on top in the fourth. Troy Tulowitzki singled and came around on a Michael Cuddyer double compounded by a Werth error that left the former Twin at third. Rosario's grounder to short then plated Cuddyer for a 3-2 game.
The Nats tied the game in the seventh thanks to two miscues from reliever Wilton Lopez. Desmond led off with a hit, stole second when Suzuki fanned, then moved to third and scored on consecutive balks by the Rockies reliever.
"Both of them were that he started and stopped," said Colorado manager Walt Weiss on the explanation he received from the umpires. "The first one you can see, but the second one, I didn't see it."
Game Notes
Desmond's hit streak has reached a career-high 15 games ... Detwiler was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game, and ended up working five innings during which he allowed six hits and three runs with two strikeouts ... His Colorado counterpart Jeff Francis left after six full frames, yielding five hits and two runs while fanning eight ... Gonzalez departed the game in the first inning after suffering a left foot contusion, when a ball struck him while standing in the on-deck circle. X-rays taken were negative ... Fowler also eventually departed in the fifth, feeling the effects of being hit in the hand during a bunt attempt in the third inning ... Lopez and coach Jim Wright were ejected in the seventh arguing the balk calls ... To make room on Washington's roster, pitcher Erik Davis was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse.

DALLAS — Editor Greg Johnson, Managing Editor Fred Wilkinson, National Editor Tom Karst and Retail Editor Pamela Riemenschneider collected these news items on the exposition floor at United Fresh 2012 on May 1-3.
Freshway Foods
Dan Baker, director of foodservice for Sidney, Ohio-based Freshway Foods, says the company's new lineup of Culinary Garden salad mixes give restaurant operators a premium salad and coleslaw blend. The line was introduced in early April, and could expand to retail. It includes Asian Salad, Hearty Blend, Asian Apple Coleslaw, Tuscany Blend and Asian Coleslaw packed four 3-pound bags per case.
Edinburg, Texas-based Frontera Produce Ltd. started a traceability program with Redwood City, Calif.-based YottaMark's HarvestMark last fall, and it's now getting feedback from the program, said executive vice president Amy Gates. She said the information should allow the company to better meet consumer needs. She said it's set up in three markets, Dallas, Houston and St. Louis, but already, it's led to the company doubling its friends on Facebook through stronger consumer interaction.
Hollandia Produce
Vincent Choate, director of sales and marketing for Carpinteria, Calif.-based Hollandia Produce LLC, says the company is expanding distribution for its three-in-one salad blend, previously available only at specialty retailers. It's a blend of lollo rossa, lollo bionda and red oak leaf lettuces grown together in one root ball, packed in the company's signature Squircle container.
JemD Farms
Adrian Abbott, vice president of operations for Leamington, Ontario-based JemD Farms, shows off piccolo baby snacking cucumbers. The 10-ounce clamshells are available at retail in the Northeast, Abbott says.
Kwik Lok

FreshPoint recently began offering Lucky's Tasti-Lee vine-ripened, field-grown tomatoes in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Mission Produce
The new vertical asparagus bag from Mission Produce Inc., Oxnard, Calif. is a 1-pound breathable bag that holds full-sized spears and features 18-21 days shelf life, which is longer than asparagus that's displayed in bulk or in bands at retail, says sales manager Cruz Carrera. He says the pack should retail for $2.49-2.99.
MoutainKing Potato
A new 1.5-pound pack design called Steakhouse Roasters features fingerling potatoes marketed by MoutainKing Potato, Houston. The pack features three varieties of fingerling potatoes, says Phil Baldwin, category development manager for the company. Consumer research showed a good number of consumers didn't like the word "fingerling," so the company marketed tied the fingerlings in with their Steakhouse Baker pack and called it a Steakhouse Roaster.
Mucci International
Mucci International Marketing Inc., Kingsville, Ontario, is a new United Fresh Produce Association member. Joe Spano, vice president of sales and marketing, said he was pleased with the traffic the greenhouse vegetable marketer received, especially with the expo following so soon after the Canadian Produce Marketing Association convention and the Northeast Produce Council expo. "We thought everyone would be 'showed out,'" Spano said.
Naturipe Farms
Naples, Fla.-based Naturipe Farms' new Mighty Blues pack is a 9-ounce wash-and-go clamshell featuring large blueberries. It retails around two for $5 or $2.99 each, says Kyla Garnett, marketing coordinator. The company's new organic berry packaging featuring Earthcycle palm fiber trays also garnered a United Fresh Best New Product award. Palm fiber packaging currently is available for raspberries and blackberries and should expand to strawberries and blueberries soon, Garnett says.
NatureSweet Tomatoes
San Antonio-based NatureSweet Tomatoes has an advertising and point-of-purchase campaign running through the summer encouraging consumers to "Just Pick NatureSweet." Television ads will run through October in the Dallas, Denver and Houston markets, says John Cameron, division manager. The ads encourage consumers to pick up a clamshell of NatureSweet tomatoes according to their best use, such as cherries for cooking, Cherubs for salads and Sunburst yellow tomatoes for snacking.
N2N Global
N2N Global, Longwood, Fla., has a new technology product for small businesses in the produce industry. Chairwoman Angela Nardone said the KiSS Small Business Suite offers an affordable software package for growing, packing and shipping operations that allows businesses to grow. Nardone said the product works to upgrade food safety and product efficiency. "This should give small businesses no excuse for not complying with food safety laws," she said.


text: I used to play the mirror game at Drama school: exact mimicry of a partner then the image takes over and the fun proceeds. This same principle is adopted by the directors of Réflexion from the Paris studio Planktoon. The story may not be original but the glossy sheen most definitely is. The CG piece is as stylish as one can get. From fabulous opening credits as a glamorous redhead pirouettes in a high street store's quartet of mirrors, to cat fight between the girl and reflection, the piece fairly zings along. Quite brilliantly lit, there are spectacular, imaginative sequences galore, interspersed with gentle humour of the slapstick kind. When the mirror breaks into shards the whole screen is ablaze with light and redheads. Alban Lelievre, Sebastien Pribile, Fabrice Senia, Alexandre Henri and Sun Limet, who together form the five person studio, met whilst students at L'école Georges Méliès. (For a fuller profile read the always informative CGSociety feature from January.) I know Paris is supposed to be chic, fashionable, stylish .... but on a rain sodden day here in the North of England I'm a bit overawed by all this vivacity to tell you the truth.

JPM's 10Y Treasury Yield by Election Winner: Obama 1.65%, Romney 2%
Earlier today this blog noted that rate markets are pricing in an Obama win in tomorrow's election. JP Morgan fixed-income strategists put a slightly different spin on the same idea by predicting what post-election 10-year Treasury yields might look like:
In Treasuries, we expect yields to be heavily influenced by [Tuesday's] election, with an Obama win likely pushing 10-year yields back towards 1.65%, while a Romney win would likely push yields toward 2.00%. In addition, Treasury yields are priced to negative growth and virtually no resolution of the fiscal cliff—any resolution, if and when forthcoming, would likely pressure yield levels higher. Moreover, regardless of the election outcome, we expect year-end de-risking to continue to bias rates higher. Thus, we recommend staying short duration while recognizing some modest downside risk [this week].
Based on the Obama = lower Treasury yield theory, Treasuries have been leaning even further in a pro-Obama direction Monday, with the 10-year note up 13/32 in price, per Tradeweb data, lowering the yield to 1.681% from 1.717% at the start of the day.

DAMAGE caused by the Regent Circus development to nearby properties is not as bad as first feared, according to initial investigations.
Concerns were raised with the builders of the development, ISG, last month after the Strict baptist Rehoboth Chapel, on Prospect Hill, had to close as the result of severe subsidence.
Since then householders and businesses have come forward after seeing cracks appear in their own properties, and concerned residents met with the developers to find a solution.
ISG pledged to solve any issues but after assessments of most of the buildings, it has found little structural damage.
Peter Green, chairman of the Swindon Back Garden residents' association, said: "We have had some very good news. We have been in talks with ISG, who tell me they have sent letters out to all residents affected by the subsidence. They have responded to quite a lot of houses, and conducted some initial assessments.
"What they have discovered is that while there are quite a lot of cracks in neighbouring properties, they are decorative rather than structural damage, and most of them would have been caused last summer when they were pile driving ahead of laying the foundations."
ISG has started work to secure the chapel, which was built in 1882, to make it safe again.
Peter said: "It seems the only real damage has been done to the chapel, and the rest are much less severe. So far there are no problems and landlords have agreed that ISG will step in and redecorate as necessary.
"At the moment it seems like there are no other problems apart from the chapel.
"It is not good news for the people concerned who do have cracks, but it is a huge relief that the problem is not as bad as we first feared.
"The builders have now gone to work on making the chapel safe, and all in all things are looking up. ISG are saying that if anybody is still worried about their property they can contact them direct to discuss it.
"They are bending over backwards to be good neighbours. It is understandable there is going to be major disruption, but they are handling it very well."
Construction work on the site is progressing well despite the heavy rainfall of the past few months, and is still on track for completion by Easter and a grand opening to take place in the autumn.

Category: Catcher in the Rye names
Today's knowledgeable guest blogger takes an analytic look at the literary names of the Glass family and other memorable characters created by J. D. Salinger.
Would you believe that we recently celebrated the 60th anniversary of the publication of J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye? To commemorate — a year after Salinger himself passed away at the age of 91 — here's a look at the names of some of his protagonists:
Holden. Holden Caulfield is one of the twentieth century's iconic anti-heroes. A surname in origin, Holden derives from a little place in Lancashire, England, meaning "hollow valley." Salinger may well have chosen it because it sounds like "hold on" – just as Holden wanted to do to preserve the innocence of children, as "the catcher in the rye." Holden has been gradually rising in use in the US over the past twenty-five years, and is now ranked at Number 316.
Phoebe. Holden's little sister. From the Greek phoibos "bright, radiant," very appropriate for the character Holden idealizes. Phoebe is also the name of a Titaness – a daughter of Uranus and Ge. It was not uncommon as a name in antiquity, and stumbled into The New Testament. In past centuries, Phebe was often the preferred form. The best know Phoebe is recent years is Phoebe Buffay, in Friends (followed by Phoebe Halliwell in Charmed). Ironically, it was the UK that felt Phoebe Buffay's influence greatest, with the name mushrooming in use virtually overnight. In 2009, it was in 23rd place in the UK — but falling. In the US, it has been steadily climbing since the late eighties but is still far from common.

SANTA CLARA -- After opening the exhibition season at home against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, the 49ers will head to Kansas City for a reunion with Alex Smith, whom they traded to the Chiefs last month.
The 49ers's exhibition schedule fills out with an Aug. 25 home game against the Minnesota Vikings (5 p.m., NBC), then an Aug. 29 visit to the San Diego Chargers, the 49ers' exhibition-finale partner since 2002.
Manning and Smith should provide a decent test out the gate for a 49ers defense that's still undergoing personnel turnover since the Super Bowl.
Manning shredded the 49ers in last year's exhibition meeting, going 10-of-12 for 122 yards with two touchdowns. Smith certainly knows the 49ers' nuances, having finished his eight-season tenure with them by serving as a scout-team quarterback in Super Bowl preparations.
The exhibition opener will be held between Aug. 8-11 at Candlestick Park, the 49ers' home for a final season before they move to a new Santa Clara stadium. That opener will have a tough time matching last year's debut outing, when then-backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick ran 78 yards for a touchdown on a read-option beauty.
The 49ers will not face any of those four teams in the regular season, and that schedule is expected to be unveiled April 16.
This marks the fifth time in the past nine years that the 49ers will face the Broncos in the exhibition season. The 49ers and Chiefs last met in
the exhibition season in 2003. It's the third time in the past four exhibition seasons the 49ers and Vikings will meet.
The Chargers are on the 49ers' exhibition schedule for a 27th consecutive year, and the 49ers lead the all-time preseason series 21-20.
This will be Kaepernick's first exhibition season as the 49ers' starter. He completed 64.1 percent of his passes (25 of 39, 297 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions) as Smith's backup last exhibition season.
Scott Tolzien, the 49ers' No. 3 quarterback the past two seasons, also will get his first chance back on the field since last exhibition season. Tolzien will be battling newcomer Colt McCoy -- and likely a to-be-determined rookie -- to serve as Kaepernick's top backup. Tolzien completed 10 of his first 12 passes before throwing an interception in last year's exhibition-opening win over the Minnesota Vikings.
The 49ers went 3-1 last exhibition season. They went on to post an 11-4-1 regular-season record en route to Super Bowl XLVII, where they fell 34-31 to the Baltimore Ravens.

AUBURN HILLS --ĀThe addition of Jose Calderon means the Pistons want to push the pace more. The Pistons did just that Friday night in a win over San Antonio, tying their season-high with 119 points.
"This is how we have to play," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "We have to be better defensively, but we have to play an uptempo game. We got to take advantage of the fact that we have a two-headed monster at all times. Whoever gets the outlet, let's go. Kyle (Singler) is a very, very consistent runner. Brandon (Knight) is a very good runner. Jose is a great advance passer. Our bigs can run the floor. It's something we'll learn.
"Even there are times when a team scores, just for us to get the ball inbounded quicker. Our guys are starting to figure it out, especially when you add a new piece like Jose, whose such a willing passer, it becomes contagious.
"We just keep that ball popping on the offensive end. We're not always going to shoot the percentage that we did in the first half, but the key is the quality of shots we take."
Knight scored 24 points and Greg Monroe had 26 points, 16 rebounds and five assists in the win over San Antonio.
Both like playing at a faster pace and felt the team benefited from it Friday.
"We're a good team and we can work the play, but I think for us, with me and Kyle running the wings, Jose pushing or me pushing, I think we can do a pretty good job of running the floor and getting easy baskets," Knight said. "Then when we can get a big that can run the floor as well in Greg or (Jason Maxiell), get them easy baskets, it all helps us out."
"That's the way we can play to be successful," Monroe said. "I think the more we do it the better we'll get at it. I think the personnel fits that kind of play. That's something I think as games continue, we'll start to do a lot more."
Team supports Drummond
The loss of rookie Andre Drummond to a stress fracture in his back is a huge blow for the Pistons, but the team and coaching staff expect the young big man to keep his head up.
"He's always in good spirits," Knight said. "No matter what's going on, he's always a positive guy.
"He's definitely a big part of us, even though he's a first-year player, he helps us out a lot, does a great job on the boards, changing shots in the paint and just being a threat offensively as well. Getting rebounds off the rim and catching lobs, he does a great job all around. He's going to missed by us. I wish him a speedy recovery, but we just have to do our best to play without him."
"He'll be fine," Frank said. "No one wants to get injured. It's one of those things in the course of it that you take it and any sort of negative situation, and you turn it into a positive. There's different things that Andre is going to be able to work to get stronger, and take this time to gain some strength in some different areas and make sure his back gets healed correctly for the long term.
"We're going to miss Andre. ... Andre is a vital, vital part of both our present and future, but that's the name of the game. You move forward, we get him healthy, and you go with who you got."
Monroe's minutes increase
The injury to Drummond likely means more minutes for Monroe.
Monroe played more than 40 minutes Friday for just the third time this season.
"With the game that Greg was having, we were going to ride him as long as we could ride him, it was just a matter of trying to get him a little rest," Frank said. "We kept Greg in there as long as we could."
"I'm expecting to play a lot more because (Drummond's) out," Monroe said. "With him being out, I'm definitely expecting to play more. I don't know exactly what the coach has in store. I'm prepared to play more. If he changes the rotation at all, I'm prepared for that too."

Couldn't see if this was posted anywhere? Blurb is about 4 days old.
Vogel said there's a chance rookie Lance Stephenson could make his season debut next week.
Stephenson, the only Pacer yet to appear in a game this season, missed time last week to attend the birth of his daughter.
"We talk about it every single game," Vogel said. "(Missing time) set him back a few days, but it could happen as early as when we get back from the break."

A Study of Early Robotic Ablation by Substrate Elimination of Ventricular Tachycardia (ERASE-VT)

- How to Read a Study Record
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an abnormal rapid heartbeat which occurs after a heart attack and can cause sudden death. Patients at risk of this rhythm disturbance usually receive an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) that can prevent death by returning the heart's rhythm back to normal by electrically stimulating the heart but in doing so gives the patient painful and debilitating shocks. The first ICD shock after implantation appears to be a powerful predictor of subsequent shock therapy as well as being a predictor of of increased mortality in patients with primary prevention ICDs. In patients who receive repeated shocks VT ablation is performed to 'burn' the abnormal area of the heart that causes the problem. However, it is often only performed as a last resort as it is technically challenging. We believe that performing VT ablation using the robotic system early after the first episode of VT after ICD implantation, may reduce the number of painful shocks received by the patient and possibly increase life expectancy and quality of life.
200 patients from 5 european countries will be recruited in a prospective, open, randomised trial. Eligible, consenting patients who have experienced their first episode of VT since ICD implantation, will be randomised in a 1:1 manner into treatment arms of either VT ablation or standard 'conventional' therapy and followed-up every 4 months over two years to assess the number of subsequent ICD shocks, hospitalisation, mortality and quality of life.

Wallabies off the mark and still drifting away
No one has ever claimed it wasn't a cruel game: for most of the match Italy's five-eighth Luciano Orquera had outplayed his opposite, Kurtley Beale, yet it was left to him to hit a 79th-minute penalty to the right of the posts, denying his side a chance to secure a famous draw.
This wasn't so much the Wallabies playing a get-out-of-jail card, but repeatedly landing on Mayfair while their hosts weren't looking.
Australia were adequate for 30 minutes and then abject, failing to score a point against the 10th-ranked team in the world for the final 50, repeatedly squandering possession with a lack of accuracy that has become the season's signature. If Orquera's chip kick had bounced into the arms of Sergio Parisse in the 66th minute, or if inexperienced referee Lourens van der Merwe had decided that the late scrum collapses on Italian ball were penalisable, the unthinkable could have happened. The gap in quality between the sides was so small to be indistinguishable.
Beale chose an inopportune time for his employers to have his worst game in the No.10 jersey since his positional switch. There have been instances in previous outings when he looked like a fullback playing out of his comfort zone, but this was almost an entire 80 minutes of awkwardness. Three times he performed a shuffle directly into traffic, either dying with the ball or taking himself out of the game. Opposite him, Orquera probed, offloaded, and directed traffic with greater aplomb. Australia ran the ball for 247 metres while Italy - mocked for years as spoilers and with no heritage of running rugby - managed double this.
In the loss against France, a general lack of passion was identified as the cause of the problems, an inability to bring the mental rage required at this ferocious level. But in Florence, it was something more tangible - poor technique and skills were in evidence. Opponents of the coach have more material to work with.
Two instances in particular caught the eye, and again they cast Australia's set-piece attacking plans in a poor light. After 44 minutes the Wallabies were in coveted real estate, 15 metres from the Italian line and with a scrum to work with. The platform was solid enough, but when Nick Phipps spun it to Beale, he tossed a wide pass to Adam Ashley-Cooper, well behind the advantage line. Taking even further sting out of the attack, Ben Tapuai was already in line when Ashley-Cooper received Beale's pass. Consequently, when Ashley-Cooper dropped it back inside to his centre partner, Tapuai was static, an easy target for the Italian defence. The Reds No.12 promptly turned the ball over.
Two minutes later from a Wallabies' lineout, the subterfuge amounted to Michael Hooper taking up a crash ball into an Italian midfield known for its robustness and losing the ball in contact. There has been talk all year about the disruptive influence of injuries but just seven days before, an All Blacks side made 14 changes - omitting the likes of Richie McCaw, Dan Carter, Israel Dagg and Cory Jane from the starting line-up - and ran in five tries against Italy.
Moreover, it is not just the old foes who are providing unflattering comparisons. Ireland have been robbed of Brian O'Driscoll and Rob Kearney but put seven five-pointers past the normally unyielding defence of Argentina in Dublin on Saturday.
Australia's lack of tries this year is an accurate reflection of current inadequacies. This is not a great side to watch, occasionally drawing deserved respect for its sheer bloody-mindedness before disappointing by failing to provide anything more sophisticated than that. It might be enough against Italy, and it might even be enough against the Welsh if they play as inaccurately as they did in the first half against the All Blacks. But it'll never be enough to be the best team in the world. The Wallabies this year are a mile away and drifting.

42 Minutes, £2,600 Lost: The U.K.'s Growing Gambling Problem
September 23, 2017,
Skin lesion aspiration is the withdrawal of fluid from a skin lesion (sore).
A needle is put into skin sore or skin abscess, which may contain fluid or pus. The fluid may be examined under a microscope. It may also be put in a lab dish (called a culture medium) and watched for growth of bacteria or fungi.
You do not need to prepare for this test.
The health care provider may inject a numbing medicine (anesthetic) into the skin before inserting the needle if the sore is deep.
You may feel a pricking sensation as the needle enters the skin.
In many cases, the removing fluid will lessen pressure within the skin sore and ease pain.
This test is used find the cause of a fluid-filled skin lesion. It can be used to diagnose skin infections.
Abnormal results may be a sign of a infection caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses.
There is a small risk of bleeding, mild pain, or infection.

Tinsley to Cleveland
Snow to Indiana
Tinsley would be of good use for Cleveland, he can really play with Lebron James and Larry Hughes pace, and be a good perimeter threat for them. As for Indiana, this provides a 2-headed PG suitors, with an all-arounder in Sarunas, and a poised Eric Snow.
Tinsley, Jackson to Denver
A sign and traded Dermarr Johnson, Reggie Evans and Andre Miller to Indiana
Denver would love Jackson at the 2 spot. He's thier ideal SG, meanwhile at PG they still have Boykins and now Tinsley. For Indiana, Evans is a very efficient player in little time, DerMarr johnson adds another wing athlete with perimeter shooting. Obviously, Andre Miller is the main piece, his all-around skill level and talent can certainly be used here.

Walker to start rehab games on Thursday
PITTSBURGH -- Neil Walker's lacerated right hand continues to near game-playing shape, and the second baseman is on target to rejoin the Pirates when he is eligible to be activated off the disabled list, or the day after.
Walker will work out at PNC Park once again on Wednesday, then join Double-A Altoona on Thursday for the first of two rehab games.
"Then we'll reassess: Does he need more [rehab] games, or will he meet us in New York?" Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said.
Walker becomes eligible to come off the DL on May 12, when the Bucs will play the last game of a four-game weekend series against the Mets in Citi Field. The following night, they will be back in Pittsburgh for the start of a 10-game homestand.
"He'll either meet us when we get back from New York, or meet us there [for Sunday's game]," Hurdle said.
Since Walker suffered his injury late in the April 26 game in St. Louis, Brandon Inge and Jordy Mercer have alternated at second base. The pair has gone a combined 9-for-34 (.265) in Walker's place, and hit safely in each of the eight games prior to Tuesday night's 4-1 loss.
