Howdy! I'm back—how I missed y'all! I don't think in recent years I've spent this much time off-line, and while I'm a bit behind with so many interweb-machine activities—such as e-mail, blog reading, or catching up on the latest trashy celeb news—it was still very relaxing hanging out with friends and family in the warm and welcoming Lone Star State.
My first stop in Texas was in Austin. I was only there for less than 24 hours, but I got my fair share of solid food and an array of salsas. I stayed with my friends Monica and John, and as Monica's baby girl is due any day now, instead of grubbing at a BBQ joint or grabbing a chicken-fried steak, we opted to have a multi-course meal at a fancy restaurant that she'd be less inclined to bring her soon-to-be newborn to in the near future. (And while we're on the subject of newborns, be sure and stop by Good American Wife and say hello to Anne's first child, Walter—he's super sweet and cute!)
Monica chose Wink, a place I'd never heard of but I was delighted with how fresh and delicious our food was. Granted, when I travel to Texas my focus is pretty singular—only foods from the Texan Trinity of bbq, Tex-Mex or home cooking will do. But I've been closed minded, and this restaurant had an exquisitely creative menu with most of the meats (save for the Hudson Valley fois gras), seafood, cheeses, fruits and vegetables sourced from local farms and fishermen. One of my courses featured Gulf shrimp, and it had been so long since I'd had the real thing I'd forgotten the sweet, mineral flavor these contain, especially when right off the boat. For dessert we shared a goat-cheese plate with the cheeses coming from Pure Luck Organic Farm in nearby Dripping Springs. If you have access to their cheeses, you must try them—these were some of the creamiest, most flavorful (without being too earthy) goat cheeses I'd ever had the pleasure of eating. They paired equally well with fruit or honey, but were also a joy to eat straight off the knife.
I awoke early the next day to tackle my reason for being in town: eating lots of hot sauce. As mentioned, I was a preliminary judge at the Austin Chronicle Hot Sauce Festival, and quite honestly, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into. The judging began in the morning, and when I walked into Serrano's, a local restaurant where we were housed to do the deed, there were heaping steam trays filled with migas, refried beans and homemade flour tortillas—I wish I could start every day with such a terrific Tex-Mex spread. And on the long table where we sat, there were numerous baskets of crisp salty tortilla chips—the perfect vehicle for the onslaught of salsas.
There were about 30 of us gathered around the table, and as there were over 1,000 salsas for us to work our way through, we didn't try each one. Instead, each little group seated in the immediate vicinity (I was fortunate to have longtime judge and also Homesick Texan reader Frank Mancuso sitting across from me) would go through a stack of salsas with three votes of yes meaning the sauce moved on to the next round to be judged by local food celebrities, and three votes of no meaning that salsa was out of competition.
At first the salsas arrived slowly, giving each judge time to ponder its worthiness. Such educated palates surrounded me, the conversations were lively and spirited when discussing the flavors. Most of the first few rounds were of the red variety (the categories were red, green, pico de gallo and special), and while I find red probably one of the easiest salsas to make, it was surprising how many just didn't get it quite right (especially with tomatoes in season). Some people had added too much chili powder, while some added too much fruit juice or vinegar. Not to mention there was a string of salsas that tasted like a whole canister of salt had been dumped into the batch. But beyond the low spots, there were also some outstanding salsas that made my mouth sing. Some were so wonderful you wanted to take them home with you or at least find out how they had been made.
As the morning wore on, the salsas started arriving more frequently, and at that point there was less time to savor and share and instead the judging turned into a marathon eating session. Not that I minded, especially because at this point Serrano's had removed the migas tray and replaced them with cheese enchiladas and queso.
Soon the green salsas began to arrive. My trick for fresh tomatillo salsa is to cook it in peanut oil after blending it with the other ingredients—this takes away some of the tartness and helps the flavors meld. I was surprised that many did not do this crucial step. Whereas before some of the salsas had too much salt, many of these lacked any sort of seasoning let alone good flavor. But again, there were some standouts—a creamy tomatillo and avocado blend comes to mind—that you couldn't stop eating.
I'm not a big fan of pico de gallo by itself or on chips—I prefer it in tacos or sprinkled over enchiladas—so judging this category was not that fun for me. Sure, I had a full plate of cheese enchiladas, but I knew if I made them the prime vehicle for salsas I'd get too full. As these salsas started to arrive, the one thing we noticed was that many of them had not had time to rest, which is the key to a great pico de gallo. Sometimes you'd just get a mouthful of onions, and then there were the entries that got creative by adding coconut or pineapple—inspired perhaps, but not really what I like. There were, however, a couple of pico de gallo fanatics around me, and they guided me towards appreciating the salsas they found to taste the best.
Following the pico de gallos was the special category. This was a series of free-styling salsas that ranged from deep, rich moles to nutty chile pestos. While these weren't necessarily made for dipping with chips, there were some outstanding entrants in this category. One chile pesto in particular was such a hit, there almost wasn't enough left in the container for the next round of judges. But then again, there were the odd entrants as well. One salsa made with a base of pickle juice was quite memorable. I was kind of repulsed, though there was one judge who loves pickle juice and she found it delicious. Don't get me wrong, I love pickle juice as well, I just couldn't apply that love to this hot sauce. Another salsa garnered the comment, "This salsa is bi-polar. It doesn't know if wants to be a barbecue sauce or a hot sauce."
One of the preliminary judges' traditions is to send on to the next round some truly awful-tasting salsas so the celebs can feel our pain. We did our part by sending along one of the super-salty salsas, as well as the pickle juice salsa. That gave us a giggle as we imagined the celeb judges' faces as they were forced to eat these questionable entrants.
Also in the special category were the habanero salsas. Up until that point, most of the salsas had avoided searing my tongue and numbing my mouth, but some of these salsas made me scream and sweat. Thank goodness I had queso and cool beverages to put out the fire.
After a couple of hours of non-stop eating, Robb Walsh—the festival's founder and head judge—made an announcement: the end was near. Placed before us were the last few salsas of the day. Eating these was bittersweet. I had enjoyed spending the past couple of hours with my fellow judges, and while my jaw was starting to ache from all the chip chomping, I was sad to see the judging conclude. But hopefully I can do this again—the preliminary judges are an excellent bunch of people to hang out with and I made some new friends. I'm going to be back in Austin for a wedding in November, so I hope to see y'all again real soon!
I've gone on long enough, so I'll talk about my trip to the farm next time. But for now, I'll leave you with my recipe for tomatillo salsa. It's a standard preparation that I've adapted from Stephan Pyles and Diana Kennedy, and it's great with tortilla chips or drenched over enchiladas, chicken, fish or pork. When judging the green salsas, we tasted one that reminded me of this and one of my fellow judges said, "I know this salsa! It's the best!" I admitted that mine tasted similar and that I'd share the recipe. Enjoy!
Tomatillo Salsa
1 pound tomatillos (about 12-16), husked and cut in half
2 cloves of garlic
1 or 2 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed, chopped
1/4 medium yellow onion
1/4 cup of chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon of lard or canola oil
Salt to taste
Add the tomatillos, garlic, serrano chiles, onion, cilantro and cumin into a blender. Blend until it has a smooth consistency.
In a saucepot on medium-low heat, heat up the lard or oil. Pour the blended salsa into the pan and cook while occasionally stirring for 10 minutes. Taste the salsa and add salt and adjust the seasonings. Can serve hot or cold.

Trip to Texas part 1: so many salsas!
Howdy! I'm back—how I missed y'all! I don't think in recent years I've spent this much time off-line, and while I'm a bit behind with so many interweb-machine activities—such as e-mail, blog reading, or catching up on the latest trashy celeb news—it was still very relaxing hanging out with friends and family in the warm and welcoming Lone Star State.

Welcome Home! I started checking the page yesterday for your return.
I didn't know there were any Serrano's left in Austin, the last time I went back the one(s) I'd been to before were defunct. I was crushed, having not had nearly enough margartia or shrimp stuffed poblano with cream sauce.
My next trip into town will include a search for Serrano's and a custard from Sandy's.
- Lydia said...
Even though my tongue is getting numb just reading about all of the salsas you tasted (in one day!), I'd still find it lots of fun to be a judge and hang out with other salsa fans. Thanks for sharing your day with us.
- christine (myplateoryours) said...
1000 salsas! I guess that's the difference between Austin and Bloomington (25 salsas.) :(
Sounds like a blast. Thanks for sharing! And welcome back.
- Tavo said...
Welcome back. Thanks for the de-tarting tip for tomatillo salsa. That's key stuff. I look forward to hearing more about your trip.
- Anonymous said...
Welcome back - sounds like you had a good time. I just made a tomatillo salsa last night - will have to try yours. I sort of cook mine first - stuff is roasted in the oven before blending. Will let you know the comparison
- Vladimir said...
your cookery is glorious and you should marry me
- Texana said...
Thanks for the wonderful account of your trip to Austin. We miss after- work happy hours at Serrano's--and Saturday morning breakfast at Trudy's--and sunset at the Oasis. We didn't know what we had till we moved away. Your recipes are always an inspiration. Appreciate your sharing.
- Anonymous said...
I left Austin two years ago, and I still desperately miss the fresh goat cheese from Pure Luck. It was the best I've ever had, I'd buy it at Wheatsville Co-op and eat it plain, just spread on bread for lunch.
- jeffrey said...
I am showing my age , but I still get nostalgic and hungry for the legendary Green Sauce from the Original Ninfas in Houston back in the the 80s. I thought it was original , until I found it at nearly every taco stand in Mexico and being served at Mexican BBqs.
Since it uses Avocados ,it has to be made fresh but boy is it good. You can Google Ninfa's green sauce and find a recipe that comes close .
- Tommy said...
Please don't marry Vladimir, marry me. Besides, I am a better chef than he is.
- Amber said...
Welcome Back! I look forward to hearing more about your trip back to Texas! I am also a huge fan of salsa so I was a bit jealous of the fact that you got to judge all of that salsa! Glad that you had a good time!
- C said...
I love Wink! My boyfriend and I went there for one of our anneversaries, and I'm taking my mom there for her birthday.
They are one of the top ten rated Austin restaurants - the owners/chefs also manage a restaurant called Zoot that I've heard many good things about.
Also, just so you know - Wink packages some of their cheeses and sells them at Whole Foods on 6th and Lamar. Not sure if it's the ones you had - but still. (We personally had the Wink Trio for dessert - that was also amazing.)
So glad you got to experience Wink!!
- WhiteTrashBBQ said...
Welcome Back. Sounds like you had a great time.
Um, not to be crude, and this is a bit embarrassing, but you've told a wonderful story about consuming all those salsas. I'm wondering about the expulsion.
Some of the best hot sauces give coming and going. I can't imagine what it was like the next day.
Or are you Texan's just tougher then us Brooklynites?
- Homesick Texan said...
Natalie--I don't know how many Serrano's are left, but the original on Red River is still open.
Lydia--You'd love it! Such a great bunch of people to hang out with for a few hours!
Christine--Ha! That is a big difference!
Tavo--You're welcome...and I should have some farm stories in the next couple of days.
Anon--Roasting is another terrific way to get a great flavor from a tomatillo salsa. I love the flavor it gives.
Vladimir--Aw shucks, you're making me blush!
Texana--I miss breakfast at Trudy's as well...Austin is such a wonderful place to live!
Anon--Their cheese is addictive--I can't wait to try some more next time I'm there. I might even try to go visit their farm.
Jeffrey--I hear you about Ninfa's green sauce--it's a longtime fave! I wrote about it here.
Tommy--Aw shucks, you're making me blush as well. I think some sort of Iron Chef competition may be in order!
Amber--Thanks! It was a blast!
C--I remember Zoot, though when I lived in Austin in the early 90's it was a bit out of my price range. I can't wait to return to Wink, however, such delicious and creative food!
WhiteTrashBBQ--Ha! Actuallly, the next day my jaw ached more than other parts of my body--but I know what you mean, and that was a topic of discussion--how salsa can be, er, a bit unpleasant the second time around.
- Making my way in PA said...
I have only come to your blog recently and I love it! Really, I love homecooked food. I have moved to central PA and the tex-mex, hispanic, anything of the sort food sucks here.
You posted a green salsa recipe, but what about a basic red? My sad mouth would be so happy with a fresh salsa.
- Cynthia said...
Welcome home! I would have loved to be at that festival.
- Chris said...
Oh how I envy you. One thousand salsas plus?! I really hope that there are mega salsa contests in heaven. Every day. In fact, I will be expecting it.
I am also intrigued by your tomatillo salsa method. When I make salsa verde, I roast the tomatillos (and typically the onions and peppers, too) in the oven. This produces a smooth but rather oily (for lack of a better term) salsa. Sounds like what your recipe produces is something a bit chunkier. I know peanut oil is quite neutral, but should I expect a loss of texture with your method? Well, either way, I'm going to pick up some tomatillos next chance I get and follow your directions. Will report back in due time.
- ann said...
Pickle juice *salsa*?? wow, that might even be too much for me!
I bet I'd make a great salsa judge. If anyone asks, can you nominate me next year? (just kidding! far too gringa) What a great trip, but I'm glad you're back! I'm just catching up on my interweb activities too, good thing we crossed paths this way!
- tigerfish said...
So much salsa! I don't know salsa much, all I know is I like it (but don't have it often).
Thanks for visiting my blog :)
- Tommy said...
I would be very interested if you could do a feature on Texas Gulf shrimp, fresh off the boat.
Up here in Toronto, we get so much frozen shrimp, and even if it is "Primo" frozen quality, nothing can compare to the stuff they haul in that day.
I imagine now the FDA has banned all shrimp from China (and some fish species) that real Gulf shrimp might be given a chance to be showcased.
On a side note,a buddy of mine was thrown out of restaurant in Vancouver after he asked the waiter( the owner)if the shrimp were leaded or unleaded. Touchy topic uh ?
- Olivia said...
Oh my gosh, how did your insides not turn to mush?
Having said that, I love red salsa, pico de gallo, green salsa, and the tomatillo avocado stuff.
I will be in NYC the last two weeks of September. Any good Mex/Tex-Mex restaurants out there? I am desperate for the stuff!
- Mercedes said...
Wow, I just learned so much about salsas! They sound wonderful, and I love how each one can have it's own personality.
- Garrett said...
Welcome back darlin' also glad that you shared the salsa recipe. Always nice to have another one on hand!
- s'kat said...
egads, I can't imagine ever having to judge something like that... my tastebuds would get overwhelmed an hour into it!
That said, I really enjoyed your take on all the different salsas, and have tucked away your tomatilla recipe for future use.
- Shel Franz said...
Welcome back! Loved the virtual salsa sampler, and can't wait to try your tomatillo salsa recipe. Way up here in Northern Illinois, tex-mex is scarcer than hen's teeth, so making my own is my only alternative. Can't wait to read about your stay on the farm!
- Licia said...
Hello Homesick Texan, thanks for your comment about my salad picture. I had the chance to look through your blog and I really like it! I don't know very much about Texan food but you surely made me want to cook some of your fantastic recipes as they are full of intriguing flavours and spices. I will let you know how I get on!
- Scribbit said...
Peppers (and therefore salsas) are about the prettiest food there is. I wish I had a better tolerance for heat though, I'm really a whimp. Even my boys give me a hard time when I'm using the "mild" sauce.
- Jodie in Plano TX said...
Sounds like you had your fill of "the good, the bad and the ugly" salsas! I'm not one for much above Medium salsa... a woose for a native Texan, I know! My new fav place in Austin is a very old one.. El Ranchito. We ate there on our last visit in July... to attend a family reunion in Boerne. I love family reunions for good BBQ and lots of homemade sides & desserts. Looking forward to reading about the farm visit. I usually don't make salsa from scratch (my Dad used to long ago)... but I might have to try yours and make Chicken Enchiladas with Green Sauce... my Tex-Mex favorite.
- homesickhoustonian said...
i actually hate tomatillo sauce roasted, i like the bright tartness tomatillos add. I usually boil my tomatillos and a serrano first. Your method of cooking it afterwards seems like it'd keep the tartness but give it that cooked mellowness, just like the difference between raw tomato salsa and cooked tomato salsa. Each have their own merits, but i usually prefer it cooked.
I thought you might like to know that whole foods has Gulf Shrimp now. I think the price was something like $12.99/lb I was so happy to see those shrimp, they've got the big plump ones too.
I'm so jealous, how does one get the oppurtunity to judge a salsa contest?
- Homesick Texan said...
Making my way in PA--Glad you're enjoying the blog. I have posted my family's red hot sauce recipe before, here is the link. Enjoy!
Cynthia--You would have loved it!
Chris--My salsa is only as chunky as I want it to be--if I leave it in the blender long enough it can get pretty smooth.
Ann--Heh! It was definitely an acquired taste. Though if it had been made with your firecrackers perhaps it would have tasted better.
Tigerfish--What's not to like? Thanks for stopping by!
Tommy--I would love to do a post about Gulf shrimp fresh off the boat--I have fond memories of my dad and his buddies going down to Galveston to pick some up and the huge shrimp eating parties that followed. And I agree, it's nuts that US stores would sell Asian shrimp when we have such a wonderful product so close by.
Olivia--I guess I have a strong constitution! As for your trip to NYC, nothing here is like Texas and the Mexican is better than the Tex-Mex, but...if you have time you should go to Jackson Heights in Queens or Sunset Park in Brooklyn where there are a host of good Mexican restaurants. Plus you could check out the Red Hook Ball Fields, which is a feast of Latin American street foods in one place. El Maguey y La Tuna on the Lower East Side is good as are Taco Taco on the Upper East Side and Rocking Horse in Chelsea. Sue Torres, who has a decent place called Suenos in Chelsea, just opened a new place in the Meatpacking District called Los Dados, but I haven't been there yet. In Brooklyn, there's Lobo, which is classic Tex-Mex and in Manhattan, there's El Rio Grande, whose owner ripped off Ninfa's menu (they even have green sauce!). You should also go to Hill Country, which is Texas ex-pat central--order the moist brisket.
Mercedes--I know! The possibilities with salsas are endless.
Garrett--Why thank you! You can never have too many salsas.
S'Kat--I thought the same thing, but as I love chips and salsa it was like a dream come true.
Shel Franz--I hear you! The only reason I learned to cook these dishes is because the pickings are slim here in NYC as well.
Licia--Have fun! Texas food is indeed filled with exciting flavors!
Scribbit--Aren't they pretty? Any time I see one I can't help but take a photo. It's not hard to build your tolerance for heat, but sometimes the best salsas are low on heat but high on flavor.
Jodie--I have fond memories of El Ranchito--sooo good! And yes! Chicken enchiladas with green sauce is my favorite, too!
Homesick Houstonian--Sounds like you make your tomatillo salas sorta my way, but in reverse order. And thanks for the heads up on WF now stocking Gulf shrimp--yes! It's about time! As for the contest, I know the head judge and he asked me, simple as that--I hope I get asked to do it again as it was such a blast!
- Kevin said...
Tasting all of those salsa sounds like it was really fun. It sounds like there were some interesting salsas.
- kkhuong said...
I used to get all my salsa from this little tex-mex shack in houston called soliz. Now that i live in nyc, i really haven't been able to find anything like it. For those of us short on time (ok fine, lazy), are there any brands that you would recommend that could be picked up at, say, whole foods?
- Kay said...
Hi Homesick Texan! Love your blog, just found it today. Wink is one of my fav restaurants in town. I also love their wine bar and often find myself ordering both great wine and delicious food while relaxing through happy hour(s). Austin is one of the best places on earth.
And for Natalie, there are 5 Serrano's in the area. The Red River location, Lakeline, Arboretum, South Mopac and Round Rock. If Natalie loves Serrano's she'd love Maudie's as well. I pretty much love any great Tex Mex place whether it's breakfast at La Reyna on S. 1st or Juan in a Million on Cesar Chavez to tacos & music at Guero's on S. Congress and enchiladas and ritas at Enchiladas y Mas on Anderson Lane.
- The BBQ Guy said...
Congratulations on a great blog. I've been planning a trip to Texas for years and your blog is giving me a roadmap of things to do and see. Thanks.
- Anonymous said...
Salsa is such a personal thing though! Some of the salsas you didn't seem to like -- really sour/tart ones or really spicy ones are my favorites!
- carriesn said...
OMG your blog rocks. When I was visiting Austin and the great Central Market, I ate their Fifth Anniversary Salsa and have been craving it ever since. Any ideas on how to replicate this salsa??
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Carriesn--Next time I'm home, I'll get some so I can recreate it.
- Paul said...
Hi Lisa, may be a silly question but if you are using canned tomatillos is it necessary to cook out the salsa? I find when i cook them out it ruins the bright green colour and makes it quite dull but then i can never get it quite as good as some of the burrito places i go too. what am i doing wrong?
- Lisa (Homesick Texan) said...
Paul--If you're using canned, you don't need to cook the salsa.

WINTER: Monty amongst wickets for England05-Nov-2012
Sussex's Monty Panesar took three wickets as England drew their warm-up match with Mumbai A, as they prepare for the Test Series against India.
Panesar finished with figures 3 for 64 from his 28 overs, as Mumbai were bowled out for 286 allowing England some further vital batting practice in their second innings.
Fellow Sussex team-mate Matt Prior has been rested for this match but is likely to return when England are back in action on Thursday in another warm-up game against Haryana in Ahmedabad.

1 Upper Crust Pizza
329 Old Santa Fe Trail
The pleasure of eating at Upper Crust has a lot to do with its beautiful front patio. Sitting high above Old Santa Fe Trail, shaded by latillas, sipping a cold beer and crunching on a slice of pizza, life seems particularly good.
That must be why Upper Crust wins this category every year. The whole-wheat crust (it's an option) gives a nice flavor and weight to the pizza's foundation. It pairs particularly well with some of Upper Crust's full-flavored toppings, such as anchovies, Kalamata olives, pine nuts, feta and sun-dried tomatoes. The delicate plain crust doesn't interfere with the sweet-tart mingling of Canadian bacon, pineapple and mushrooms. We like whole wheat with the Meat Treat (do you really need details? It's a huge pile of meat) and plain with the BBQ Chicken (so what if it's not traditional?). Solo diners can buy by the slice or go for a calzone, a sub or a salad.
Sure, Upper Crust will deliver if you live or work nearby, but then you'd miss out on the experience of sitting out on the patio and watching the city go by.

I have just found this random Derangement generator that seems to be faster than other generators :
"An analysis of a simple algorithm for random derangements",
by D. Merlini, R. Sprugnoli and M. C. Verri, in Proc. of ICTCS 2007.
Here is a Matlab version of their pseudo-Pascal algorithm , with some minor changes in variable names and the addition of two metering variables nw and nr.
function p = GRDmsv(n);
% Generate a random derangement p(1:n).
% Derek O'Connor, Mar 19, 2011.
nw = 0; nr = 0;
derange = false;
while ~derange
nw = nw+1;
p = 1:n; % start with the identity permutation.
k = n;
fixedpt = false;
finished = false;
while ~finished
r = ceil(rand*k); nr = nr+1;
if (p(r) == k) % Early rejection
fixedpt = true;
finished = true;
t = p(k);
p(k) = p(r);
p(r) = t;
k = k-1;
if k == 1
finished = true;
end % while ~finished
if ~fixedpt && (p(1) ~= 1)
derange = true;
end % while ~derange
return; % GRDmsv
GRDmsv generates a random derangement p(1:n) using what I call "early rejection"
(the authors call it "early refusal").
The outer while-loop is the rejection loop. The inner while-loop is the Fisher-Yates-Durstenfeld shuffle algorithm which is aborted to the outer loop if a fixed point is
The authors prove that the expected number of calls to rand is E(nr) = n*(e-1) = 1.7183n rather than 2.718n for the pure rejection algorithm and 2n for the Martinez et al. algorithm.
Testing shows that the average number of outer while-loop iterations is
E(nw) = e = 2.718, the same as the pure rejection algorithm, but these loops are rejected early and so complete permutations are not built and then rejected. This accounts for the
lower number of calls to rand.
Here are some preliminary timing results:
Permutation length n = 10^6. Times(secs) averaged over 100 samples
GRDrej (Pure rejection) 0.56314
GRDmpp (Martinez, et al.) 0.29022
GRDsta (R.Stafford) 0.40402
GRDmsv (Merlini, et al.) 0.27693

The newsgroups are a worldwide forum that is open to everyone. Newsgroups are used to discuss a huge range of topics, make announcements, and trade files.
Discussions are threaded, or grouped in a way that allows you to read a posted message and all of its replies in chronological order. This makes it easy to follow the thread of the conversation, and to see what's already been said before you post your own reply or make a new posting.
Newsgroup content is distributed by servers hosted by various organizations on the Internet. Messages are exchanged and managed using open-standard protocols. No single entity "owns" the newsgroups.
There are thousands of newsgroups, each addressing a single topic or area of interest. The MATLAB Central Newsreader posts and displays messages in the comp.soft-sys.matlab newsgroup.

Kent were all out for 330 yesterday which set Sussex a final day target of 306 to win. They ended the day on 65 for 2.
With the wickets shared around again for the Sussex attack, it was Kent skipper Sam Northeast who took the plaudits, hitting 109 before he was caught by Kirk Wernars off the bowling of Will Adkin.
At 12pm Sussex had advanced to 109 for 3, still requiring 197 runs to win.

A risk factor increases your chances of developing cancer. Modifying the following risk factors may help reduce your risk of stomach cancer.
General Guidelines
The general guidelines for helping reduce your risk of stomach cancer include the following:
A significant number of cases of stomach cancer may be associated with smoking. If you are a smoker, you should do everything within your power to stop. You are risking stomach cancer, as well as many other kinds of serious disease. Contact your doctor to see if you can use an alternative nicotine delivery system (nicotine patch, nicotine gum), hypnotherapy, or group support to help you make this difficult but important lifestyle change.
For more information on quitting smoking, click here.
Alcohol may be a risk factor for stomach cancer. If you are a heavy drinker, consult with your doctor on methods that can help you stop drinking.
H. pylori infection, chronic atrophic gastritis, and other chronic stomach conditions have been associated with an increased risk of developing stomach cancer. If you have any of these conditions, get medical treatment and follow through on medical recommendations.
You may have a higher-than-normal risk of developing stomach cancer if you work with heavy metals, rubber, or asbestos. If you must work with these substances, find out how to best protect yourself from exposure to the chemicals you'll be around. Check with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or the Environmental Protection Agency for protective guidelines.
Some studies have found a link between aspirin use and reduced rates of cancer in the lower stomach. Since taking aspirin can have side effects, including gastrointestinal bleeding, talk to your doctor before deciding to start aspirin therapy.
More and more studies imply that diet can play a role in the prevention of cancer. Check with your doctor or see a registered dietitian (RD) to learn how to eat a diet:
- High in fiber, fruits, and vegetables
- Low in saturated fats and meats
Furthermore, since stomach cancer has been associated with smoked, salted, and pickled foods, it would be wise to cut down on these foods as much as possible.

Ttc 2013
I thought I would open a new thread for those of us trying to conceive in 2013! The 2012 thread had lots of good news right up until the end of the year, so I'm not sure how many of us are still trying to conceive. Here's hoping we can all receive the same good news and start out our year with our own BFPs!
To give a personal recap, my husband and I have now tried for four months unsuccessfully. We have no children to date. I'll be ovulating around January 6-8, and am excited to give it another shot! We have no reason to believe that we have any fertility issues, though I did struggle with vaginismus (involuntary muscle contractions that prohibit vaginal penetration/sex) following a near-fatal car accident and traumatic pelvic/vaginal injuries in 2010. All is well now, and we were able to begin TTC back in September. We're just trying and waiting and praying for a baby. Wishing all the best to those of you who are still trying as well!

Great idea to start this thread!!!
A little about me....
My husband and I started TTC right away (once married) and it took Over 1 year to get pregnant AFTER seeking fertility help! We were very lucky and got pregnant with our son after only 1 round of CLOMID...
I have always been irregular and also had a section of my left ovary removed due to a large cyst when I was 21.... Turns out I didnt ovulate... The clmoid fixed that!
Since my son was born (over 2 years ago) we have used NO form of birth control at all and NOTHING (again)! We took 1 cycle of clmoid in April and NOTHING... we took a break over the summer and have to go back for MORe testing in fall... We are now on a higher dose of the same drug that helped us get preggo with the first so hopefully it works!!!
I ovulated on the 30/31st December so I am now in my TWW (two week wait)! Im really hoping it sticks!!!!
Good luck to everyone else trying!on the search for the perfect girls name!

Hi everyone! We will be TTC our first child starting in February. Hoping for a quick positive! Best of luck and happy new year
January 1st, 2013 09:11 PM #9
Hello and good luck to all. We just started trying for our fourth child. My husband had a vasectomy about 6 years ago, after we'd been fortunate enough to welcome three babies in a 2.5-year span. We were so exhausted at the time, and he was in graduate school, but we were also very young (he was 26 and I was 24). So much regret have I had over that vasectomy!
He's had a reversal, after years of deliberation, and we just went off the pill and started trying this month. His sperm count looked excellent at last check. Hopefully everything is in order on my end of things and will remain that way on his end. Should find out in a few days if we were able to make things happen this cycle.
Lots of symptoms (nausea, breast tenderness), but my mind could certainly be playing tricks on me. Having a very hard time being patient with the wait, since I have wanted to have more kids for what feels like a very long time (he only recently got on board). I am nervous because we haven't ever "tried" to have children; we were so blessed and didn't realize the extent of that blessing.
Best wishes to everyone.

Biology students take top awardsApril 11, 2013
One weekend, two states and three graduate students taking top honors for their presentations is spreading excitement through Emporia State University's Department of Biological Sciences.
Nathan Holoubek of River Falls won the Wilks Award at the 60th annual meeting of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists. The Wilks Award is given for the best paper presentation by a student at the conference, which was held April 4 through 7 at McNeese State University in Lake Charles, La.
Holoubek presented "Bird Occupancy in Relation to Habitat Structure in the Oak Savanna Cross Timbers of Kansas, USA," which was co-written with his thesis advisor, Dr. Bill Jensen.
For the Wilks Award, students are required to submit expanded abstracts to a committee that reviews them and selects the best for presentation.
"Usually only three or four students are chosen to present," said Dr. R. Brent Thomas, professor and chair of the Department of Biological Sciences. "Historically, the vast majority of students selected to compete for the Wilks Award are Ph.D. students.
"This year, Nathan was the only master's student selected to compete from among a field of Ph.D. students from larger research institutions."
Holoubek received a cash award of $1,250 and a copy of all available back issues of "The Southwestern Naturalist," the professional society's scientific journal.
More than a dozen faculty and students from Emporia State attended the conference in Louisiana with a number presenting papers and posters:
Skyler Delmott, Emporia graduate student, presented "Zebra mussel maturation and seasonal gametogenesis in Marion Reservoir, Kan.," which was written with Dr. David Edds;
Benjamin Smith, DeSoto graduate student, presented "Zebra mussels in the Neosho River Basin, Kan. — Ecology and economics," which was written with Edds and Jason Goeckler of Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism;
Holoubek, Goeckler, Smith and Edds presented the poster, "Comparison of zebra mussel veliger sampling techniques;
Pamela McClain of Quenemo presented the poster "Leukocyte ratio variation in response to captivity stress in five common non-venomous snakes in the Flint Hills ecoregion, Kan.," which was written with Dr. Lynnette Sievert.
McClain also moderated a technical session on "Amphibian and reptile ecology." Other students who attended were undergraduates Andrew Rutter, Chris Schwinghamer, Marcus Portofee, Aaron Haflich and Mason Vanderford; and graduate students Zack Stark and Judith Bilyea.
Kansas Academy of Science
A delegation from Emporia State made a clean sweep of the top awards for master's level presentations at the 145th annual meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science on April 5 and 6 at Johnson County Community College.
Chen Yang of Shenyang, China, earned first place for best master's level oral presentation for "Oleanolic acid induces apoptosis and autophagy in human malignant melanoma cells," which was written with Christian Smith and Dr. Yixin "Eric" Yang. Chen Yang also presented a poster based on this research, and won one of two student grant awards for master's level students.
Brittany Miller of Overbrook earned first place for best master's level poster presentation for "Exposure to luteolin exacerbates cyclophosphamide teratogenesis in CD-mice," which was prepared with Hanna Kim, Betty J. Herring, Lu Jiang, Kyle K. Wells, Do-Kyong Kim, Jennifer A. Brady, Xuan T. Lam, Justin E. Axman, Alexandra R. Crowe and Dr. Melissa Bailey.
Yiting Ni also presented a poster, "In vivo and in vitro study of inhibitory effects of zerumbone on human malignant melanoma," which was created by Chen Yang, Chang Liu and Eric Yang.

The Charlotte Hornets soon will be back. Although the logo won't be exactly the same, the teal-and-purple motif should be enough to satisfy fans who have missed the color scheme ever since they were forced to give their old Starter jackets to Goodwill.
The Hornets aren't the only team that needs to dig into its past for the perfect logo. Several other teams could use some re-branding, and in a lot of cases, they already came up with the ideal logo before. They just need to undo the damage done when they retired those logos unnecessarily.
Of course, one person's beloved old logo is another person's eyesore. Not every fan will agree that each of these logos is an improvement over the current version. Even if fans universally agree a team has to go back to a former insignia, not every fan will agree of which old version to use. But take a lot at 10 logos that prove these teams were on to something before they threw it all away.

REPORT: Nash and Wright make hay on scorching day at Hove25-May-2012
Chris Nash hit his first century of the season as Sussex went past 300 on Day One of their LV=County Championship clash with Nottinghamshire at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove.
Nash, who had fallen two short of a century a week ago at Worcester on his 29th birthday, looked in excellent touch as he and returning star Luke Wright put on 145 for the fifth wicket on another stunning day in Hove.
Michael Yardy, who missed lastnight's Clydesdale Bank 40 victory over Yorkshire, won the toss and batted first and it was the wicket of the skipper himself that saw Sussex slip to 97 for 4 shortly after lunch as Riki Wessels threw down the stumps to run Yardy out.
But the partnership between Nash and Wright, after the latter smashed a century in lastnight's comfortable win, swung the pendulum in Sussex's favour despite some fairly disciplined bowling from the Nottinghamshire attack.
With both players departing within three overs of each other after tea it was left to the lower order to grind out the runs and despite a 28 run partnership between Naveed Arif Gondal and Steve Magoffin being broken when the Australian cut Harry Gurney to Patel at backward point, the hosts edged past 300 to earn a third batting point.
The hosts will resume tomorrow morning on 305/9 with Gondal and Monty Panesar at the wicket as James Anyon perished on what turned out to be the final ball of the day. Play returns to its normal start time of 11.00am.

WINTER: The Full Monty helps England to victory in Mumbai26-Nov-2012
A heroic effort from England in India has levelled the Test Series at 1-1 and Sussex's Monty Panesar starred in the crushing win with 11 wickets in the match.
His first innings effort of 5 for 129 was bettered second time around with figures of 6 for 81 and he and Graeme Swann decimated the India batting line-up.
With fantastic centuries from both Alastair Cook and Kevin Pietersen in England's first innings setting up a victory tilt for the tourists, it was left to the spinners to the do their job on a turning pitch and Panesar even removing Sachin Tendulkar in twice in the match.

Tomorrow, Thursday, February 27th
Marks one year since the passing of my dear friend and store designer, Pattie Knox. She is missed every day and it's hard to believe it's already been one year. I'll be volunteering at a #readleadachieve event thru an organization I'm involved in and I'll be thinking about Pattie all day. Thinking about how she touched so many lives with her job in education and her job here scrapbooking and creating scrapbook products since I started DesignerDigitals. She is greatly missed.

A special election for a congressional seat on Florida suggests trouble ahead for Democratic candidates who backed Obamacare in swing districts. Republican David Jolly claimed victory last night in a congressional district that includes part of St. Petersburg, beating a strong Democratic candidate, Alex Sink. As NPR's Greg Allen reports, the results aren't encouraging for Democrats looking ahead to the fall midterm elections.
GREG ALLEN, BYLINE: Democrats will point out that this is a district that has been represented by a Republican for 60 straight years. Even so, with the death last year of Congressman Bill Young, who held the seat for 40 of those years, Democrats saw an opening. Republicans hold a slight registration edge in Florida's 13th congressional district, but it was carried by Barack Obama in the last two presidential elections. Alex Sink entered the race with high name recognition. She was Florida's elected chief financial officer and then ran for governor, losing narrowly to Republican Rick Scott. Last night marked another disappointing loss for Sink.
REPRESENTATIVE ALEX SINK: Although we're disappointed, the bars are open.
ALLEN: Republican David Jolly, on the other hand, entered the race with some disadvantages. Unlike Sink, he wasn't well-known and faced a primary battle. And after serving as an aide to Congressman Young, he went on to a career as a Washington lobbyist, a label Sink and outside groups used against him in nearly every campaign ad. In claiming victory last night, Jolly again acknowledged the legacy of his former boss and political mentor.
REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT DAVID JOLLY: Know from the bottom of my heart that I am grateful for the honor you have bestowed on me tonight, not to replace Bill Young, but to follow Bill Young and to allow me to serve as your next member of Congress.
ALLEN: For Democrats, the disappointment extends beyond that of losing a coveted House seat. As a swing district, the race was something of a testing ground for the fall's midterm races. The weapon Jolly and outside groups wielded most often in their attacks against Sink was her support for Obamacare. Here's an ad run by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: A disaster for families and seniors. With Alex Sink, the priority is Obamacare, not us.
ALLEN: Democrats in the House and Senate can expect to see similar ads this fall. In congratulating Jolly last night, Greg Walton, chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, said Sink was, quote, "brought down because of her unwavering support for Obamacare, and that should be a loud warning for other Democrats running coast to coast." The head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, Steve Israel, tried to put a good face on it, saying Democrats will fight for the seat again in a few months, when Jolly has to run again in the midterm. Not clear yet is whether their candidate will be Alex Sink. Greg Allen, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

2ND XI: Late order runs give Sussex hope23-Aug-2012
Starting the day 342 runs behind and 3 wickets down, runs were the key for Sussex. After losing two early wickets in the morning, a fight back from Matt Machan (83), Chris Liddle (60), Ollie Graham (40) and Naveed Arif Gondal (52 not out) meant that the hosts were able to finish up 315 all out, 77 runs behind Middlesex.
Two wickets for Will Adkin and a wicket a piece for Naveed Arif Gondal and Will Beer, meant the visitors ended the day on 139/4 at Horsham, which leaves an interesting final day ahead.
Play is due to start at 11:00am this morning and entrance to Horsham CC is of course FREE.

Significant gift, Docking speech highlights of National Teachers Hall of Fame induction banquetJune 13, 2011
The presentation of a significant gift and remarks by a former chair of the Kansas Board of Regents are just two highlights of the banquet preceding the induction ceremonies of the 20th class into the National Teachers Hall of Fame.
The NTHF was established in Emporia in 1989. Beginning in 1992, five teachers have been selected each year for induction into the hall.
Induction festivities on Friday, June 17, begin with a banquet from 5:45 to 7 p.m. in the KSTC Ballroom in Emporia State University's Memorial Union. During the banquet, Jill Docking, former Regents chair, will present remarks.
In addition, hall of fame officials will receive a significant national gift for the hall.
The induction ceremony will begin at 7:15 p.m. in Albert Taylor Hall in ESU's Plumb Hall. This year's 20th-anniversary class of teachers are:
- Walter Patrick Earle who teaches high school agriculture at McBee High School in McBee, S.C.;
- Debra Howell who teaches fourth through sixth grade at Monte Cristo Elementary School in Granite Falls, Wash.;
- Paul Miller, high school algebra and calculus teacher at Israel Henry Beren High School in Baltimore, Md.;
- James Percoco who teaches 11th- and 12th-grade history at West Springfield High School in Springfield, Va.; and
- Mark Weaver, seventh-grade science teacher at Clay Middle School in Carmel, Ind.

Emporia State debate team prepares for another stellar seasonSeptember 15, 2011
Emporia State's top debate team of LaToya Williams-Green and Ryan Wash are ready to build on last year's milestone season. Known as Team Emporia WW, the pair, both senior communication majors, collected awards unseen at ESU in decades.
It began with standout performances at every major invitational tournament they attended.
The Franklin R. Shirley Classic, held at Wake Forest in November 2010, saw the pair advance to the octafinals, placing them in the top 16. Wake represents the most competitive tournament in the nation outside of the two national championships. Out-placing teams from Harvard, Michigan State and Emory put Williams-Green and Wash on the radar of every perennial debate powerhouse across the United States.
If, as a team, Emporia WW was formidable, then as individual speakers they were dominant. Every tournament attended, regional or national, saw one or both debaters receive accolades; often the top 5 — a rare feat for any team.
When the time came to earn their place at the National Debate Tournament, Emporia WW came prepared. The District III qualifier, held this year at Wichita State, saw the best teams from around the Midwest compete for the right to represent their schools in national competition.
District III roughly comprises the same schools as the NCAA Big 12 athletic conference. Teams from The University of Kansas, Oklahoma University, Baylor University, University of Texas-Austin and Kansas State University, among many others, were present. Losing only two of eight debates solidified Emporia WW's second place finish and earned them a trip the national championship.
Emporia State set a school record in the 2009-10 season by sending two teams to the tournament. Last year, the program built upon that success. Emporia WW won the requisite five of eight preliminary debates needed to advance to the elimination rounds. Not since 2003 has a team from Emporia State advanced past the preliminary debates at the NDT. Wash and Williams-Green ended their season as the No. 17 team in the nation.
Williams-Green, continuing her rhetorical prowess, stunned the debate community as the 17th place speaker award. Not since 1966 has Emporia State garnered such an award. For a school as small as Emporia State, this achievement cannot be overstated.
The 2011-12 season promises to be an extension of last year's success.
Both Williams-Green and Wash are back for another battle against the nation's academic titans. They bring with them the savvy and experience that many of the reigning institutions like Emory, Harvard and Northwestern have lost this year, having graduated many seniors. Returning talent from KU, Baylor and Missouri State promises to provide the toe-to-toe competition that District III is famous for.
An informal preseason poll places Emporia WW in the top 10 teams in the nation, narrowly missing qualification to the prestigious Kentucky Round-Robin, held at the University of Kentucky. The Round-Robin hosts nine of the top preseason picks.

REPORT: Nash shines for Sussex on see-saw day at New Road16-May-2012
Chris Nash starred with 84 on a see-saw first day of Sussex's LV=County Championship Division One clash with Worcestershire at New Road.
Michael Yardy won the toss and elected to bat on a bright day at New Road. It was hard to believe with the glorious sunshine that the ground was underwater only a couple of weeks ago and once Nash got into his stride; the outfield showed no shines of dampness as he and Ed Joyce raced to a 50 partnership.
It was Nash who was the aggressor though and with Joyce struggling to show the form which saw him reach a century on Sunday in the Clydesdale Bank 40 against the Unicorns, he attempted to work Richard Jones to the onside but nicked behind to wicketkeeper Ben Scott to depart for only 6.
Nash continued to play beautifully and had it not been for the lush outfield he may have accumulated more value for some of his shots. He reached his 50 from 64 balls which included 8 fours, seeing Sussex through to 101 for 1 at lunch.
It was a little while after the first interval when Nash drove loosely from a Gareth Andrew delivery which saw Worcestershire captain Daryl Mitchell take a sharp throat-high chance at slip. Murray Goodwin followed shortly after, trapped leg-before by David Lucas. Luke Wells and Michael Yardy settled in for a gritty afternoon session but they both showed glimpses of some impressive shots in an attempt for force the pace.
They put on 43 before left-arm seam struck again. This time in the shape of Jack Shantry, who struck Yardy low down on the pad before enticing Wells to attempt to work him into the onside to pick up another lbw.
Joe Gatting's shot to get off the mark was a glorious drive to the cover boundary for four but it was a similar shot that brought about his downfall as his uppish stroke went straight into the hands of Matt Pardoe at cover point off Shantry. Gatting's demise made it five wickets lost for Sussex in the afternoon session for only 67 runs but the pendulum swung back in the visitors' favour shortly after tea.
Ben Brown and Naveed Arif Gondal added 30 runs swiftly in only four overs and that set the tone for their partnership which was to reach 84 and take Sussex past 250. Both players looked settled and played their shots and looked set to lead Sussex to the close until Brown got a top edge from Lucas which flew vertically, and Vikram Solanki charged back to take the catch. Gondal followed shortly after in the next over, swatting at a Jones bouncer to a get a nick behind to Ben Scott.
Steve Magoffin (24*) and James Anyon (2*) negotiated the remaining overs and in a day which offered fluctuating fortunes for both sides, Sussex closed on 283 for 8.
