Kanavas out
State Senator Ted Kanavas announced today he is not seeking re-election.
Kanavas Will Not Seek Re-election
January 25, 2010 – (Madison, WI)…State Senator Ted Kanavas announced today he will not seek a third full term in the Wisconsin State Senate.
"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the people of the 33rd District and I am grateful for their support," said Senator Kanavas. "After much contemplation, I have decided not to seek re-election to a third full term."
Kanavas was first elected to the Wisconsin State Senate in a July 2001 special election and at the completion of this term will have served two full terms and part of a third spanning nearly ten years.
"Republicans will enjoy great victories this fall and I anticipate Republicans in the state senate coming back in the majority. That prospect will ensure excellent candidates will emerge to serve the people of the 33rd District and I am confident the district will be left in good hands."
"Over the years I have been proud of my record of accomplishments in areas of jobs, lower taxes and economic development across Wisconsin. I put job creation and entrepreneurship front and center of the policy debate in Madison. Passing the Angel Investment tax credit legislation was a seminal event for our state. The way to solve problems is not to raise taxes and expand government, but to allow our economy to grow and to let research and development lead the way."
"Again, thanks to the people of the 33rd District for all of their kindness, thoughts and prayers during my service in the state senate," Kanavas concluded.
The three state representatives in his district are Bill Kramer, Rich Zipperer, and Don Pridemore, all Republicans. It will be interesting to see which of the three risk their Assembly seats for what should be a safe State Senate seat.
Update! The Bartender reports that WISN's Mark Belling is suggesting Kanavas may run for Feingold's seat. Sounds good, but wouldn't Kanavas make that announcement first? But that's why I leave groundless speculation to the professionals.
Update 2! Here's the audio clip for Mark Belling's show. "Maybe…"

Sigma DP1 review
By Joanne Carter | on September 18, 2008
Price When Reviewed: 468 . 510
Pros: Large DSLR-like APS-C size Foveon sensor and high-quality 28mm f/4 wide-angle lens; compact dimensions; excellent picture quality at lower ISOs.
Cons: Noise levels higher than current crop of DSLRs; menu-driven operation for most features; poor battery life.
Expert Rating:
Best prices today
Picture quality is exceptionally high for a compact, but noise levels aren't equal to the latest crop of sub-frame digital SLRs. Sensitivity runs from a low minimum ISO 100 to just ISO 800, but images look gritty and speckled in shadows well below that maximum. Left to auto, the DP1 easily overexposes scenes, so careful metering is necessary to prevent blown-out highlights.
To get maximum control over exposure, colour and detail, we found shooting Raw was preferable to JPEG, but writing large files to SD cards was sluggish. It also means getting by with Sigma's bundled Photo Pro software, as there is no support for the DP1's X3F format files in Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture at present.
There are countless uses for a camera of the DP1's capabilities. The ultra-portable DP1 would make a superb choice for travel photographers. It would be fair to say Sigma's DP1 is the digital compact camera equivalent to Canon's full-frame EOS 5D. It's a momentous advance that's bound to invite imitators. Sure, the DP1 has some weaknesses, but they'll be largely forgotten when you see the prints.

Proofread and Format a Literature Essay
Proofread and format a literature essay
Writing a
literature essay
is definitely not one of those things that many students enjoy to do. However, considering they are asked by their teachers to
write an essay
like this, they don't have any choice but to write it. As we all know literature is something that involves or rather expects a person to read a lot of books. Literature comes from the work of great authors, writers, poets etc. hence; extensive research is something that goes hand in hand with the literature essay.
Most students when asked to write a literature essay, they are often confused and do not know how to start. The first thing about literature essay is that it is written on a literature piece given to you by your teachers or something that you need to choose by yourself and proceed. In any which way,
is something that is required. When you doing your research, make sure you understand the piece really well, from an unbiased point of view. Most of the literature pieces have the author state an incident, study, story or revelation in his or her own words. The best way to understand any literature piece is by knowing what is happening within the piece and at the same time what happens outside the piece. You cannot contradict what is part of the literature piece, you can give you personal view in the conclusion bit, but the introduction and body of the piece that you are covering in your literature essay cannot be manipulated.
When you have substantial piece of information, you can go about putting it down on paper in the regular format as that of any other essay. Like for instance, your literature essay will have an introduction, a body and conclusion. Before placing all the information, make an outline. What many students do is that with all the information and evidence they have gathered for their best literature essay, they go about stuffing the essay with all of it. Do not do this because it could be a huge blunder and make your literature essay a poor form of work.
Literature essay could become a tricky essay. Therefore, make sure you read once before you make your submission or else get someone else to read it so that you get a critical opinion. By re-reading, you can make the necessary changes.
Truly it gets a bit difficult to present a literature essay. Many students who have tried writing one, not all have succeeded. If you are seeing yourself in the similar situation, then do not worry, we are a well known
essay writing company
. We have a team of professionals who have been working on all kinds of essays and have always brought about satisfaction with all our clients.

The Lebanese police called in the famous Egyptian superstar Tamer Hosni for questioning after a photographer filed charges against him.
He accused Tamer and his bodyguards of physically attacking him, hitting him in the face and breaking some of his teeth, while he was photographing Tamer at a night club in Beirut. He said that the bodyguards also took his camera.
Tamer denied the accusations and said that he got into an argument with the photographer after he cursed Egyptian artist Amr Diab and Shireen Abed Al Wahab.

Burger King (NYSE:BKW) has promised consumers since the 1970s that they could "have it your way." Investors are now starting to take notice.
The Miami-based burger chain yesterday reported it earned an adjusted profit of 23 cents per share, two cents higher than analysts expected. Revenue slumped 40% to $275.1 million, beating the $266.6 million consensus Wall Street forecast. Comparable sales in the U.S. and Canada fell 0.3%, which measures revenue growth at locations opened at least a year, as Burger King was hurt by stiff competition from rivals and soft consumer demand. That was worse than the 0.8% gain analysts had expected.
Shares of Burger King, which have surged more than 27% so far this year, rose $1.14, or 5.77%, to $20.85. They have outperformed McDonald's (NYSE:MCD), which rose more than 8.53% so far this year. Wendy's (NYSE:WEN) has done better than both of them, surging more than 58%.
Burger King also leads McDonald's when it comes to taste though Wendy's is favored by consumers over both chains, according to market researcher Technomic. The Home of the Whopper also is hoping that diners will respond favorably to its plan to remodel 40% of its restaurants in the US and Canada by 2015. It also is offering delivery in some markets.
The third largest burger chain is de-emphasizing special or limited-time menu items, which seems like a good idea. Earlier this year, McDonald's scaled back its offerings after the chain realized it was confusing consumers and employees, who weren't familiar with poorer selling items.
Speaking on the company's earnings conference call, CEO Daniel Schwartz said the third-biggest burger chain is "focused on introducing fewer, more impactful products" such as Satisfries, lower calorie French fries, which helped attract diners to its U.S. restaurants in the quarter. The government shutdown had no effect on Burger King's operations.
With a price-to-earnings multiple of about 49, Burger King shares are not cheap, especially since McDonald's market valuation is about 17.2. Wendy's sports an eye-popping 276 multiple. Revenue at Burger King will continue to decline by double-digits for the next few quarters as it converts its company stores to franchises, to be more in line with the rest of the quick service restaurant industry, analysts have said. Earnings per share are expected to be little changed in the current quarter though its 2013 results are expected to show a gain.
The shares are trading above their average 52-week price target, so there is no huge rush to buy the stock. Though McDonald's is far cheaper, the company has disappointed investors lately and shows no signs of improvement. Wendy's should be avoided since it's so expensive. Burger King, though, is a good choice since it has plenty going for it.
Satisfries have gotten some positive albeit lukewarm reviews. Consumer Reports noted, "the consensus was that the Satisfries' flavor is fairly similar to Burger King's regular fries." Business Insider was kinder, saying "… while a fry that feels somewhat gourmet and actually tastes like a potato is nice, we aren't sure Burger King's customers, who are used to the salt, grease, and ketchup, will be willing to make the switch." However, Satisfries may be help Burger King gain an edge in attracting customers concerned about eating healthier, which would be a plus in the hyper-competitive fast food market.
Burger King's strength overseas is helping off-set weakness in the U.S. The chain did well in the Asia Pacific region, where sales of existing restaurants gained 3.7%, outperforming McDonald's and Yum Brands, the parent of KFC and Pizza Hut, which had seen their business soften in the region. Burger King also reported gains in its Europe, Middle East and Africa and Latin America and the Caribbean divisions same-store sales. The Home of the Whopper is planning to expand further overseas.
The Bottom Line
Though Burger King is not going to have everything go its way, the company is certainly headed in the right direction. Satisfries may succeed where other low-calorie fries have failed. The company's overseas prospects seem solid. The only negative on the stock is that it's a little too expensive.

The NCAA Tournament is underway. The NBA and NHL playoff races are heating up. NFL players are switching teams by the hour. These are busy times for sports fans. However, I just came across this photo on Instagram and felt it deserved top billing. Apparently fingernail art is a thing and there's a whole sports nail design subculture I know nothing about. But I fully support it, especially if it decreases the amount of awful sports tattoos such as this LeBron James debacle.
Tony Morrison, a native of Newcastle, England, plans to run four London Marathons (104.8 miles) in a span of 24 hours next month to raise money for cancer research. Did I mention he'll have a 95-pound refrigerator tied to his back the entire time?
More than 250 fans lined up at Miller Park yesterday to meet Hank, the Brewers dog (though no word on whether his No. 1 fan was in attendance). The team is selling Hank merchandise, from $32 T-shirts to $3 buttons, with 20 percent of the proceeds going to the Wisconsin and Arizona humane societies.

At 7-foot-4, Andre Roussimoff towers over a group of girls at a fashion show in July 1966. Roussimoff would later take on the name Andre the Giant and forge a Hall of Fame career as a pro wrestler. The WWE will honor Andre at WrestleMania next month with the inaugural Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal. In July 1981, SI's Terry Todd profiled the legend at age 35 and told the story of how Roussimoff assumed his pro wrestling moniker:
"Not only did McMahon divine the best way to showcase Andre, he also realized that the name Jean Ferré would do little in the U.S. to pull a crowd. But what should the big man be called? What name would produce in the fans the desired frisson? It was a crucial detail. Wrestling has always been filled with creative handles, ranging from the alliterative (Whipper Watson, Killer Karl Krupp) to the ethnic (El Mongol, Abdullah the Butcher) to the ethnically alliterative (Bobo Brazil, Tosh Togo) to the mysterious (The Masked Terror, The Mummy) to the simply and manifestly wonderful (Whiskers Savage, Gorilla Monsoon, Fabulous Moolah), but McMahon correctly guessed that with the towering Frenchman, straightforward accuracy would be best. Hence, Andre the Giant. Perfect."

Got a new article out in the November issue of Multichannel Merchant… RSS Made Simple. The article is specifically targeted to online retailers. So if you're selling online and thinking of using RSS to help you sell more, this is the article to read!
Here's a small excerpt…
Key benefits of RSS to online merchants:
- Bypasses spam filters
- Encourages links and garners PageRank score
- Serves as a content delivery channel to your affiliates, giving them something they can republish on their own Websites
- Easy for your subscribers to manage communications from you without clogging up their inboxes
- Allows you to change content midstream (no need to push an "unsend button� as with e-mail)
- Is the only way your blog can be included in Google's new Blog Search (http://blogssearch.google.com)
- Increases the likelihood of media coverage because RSS is a hot topic retailers are slow to embrace.

Now this is a nice looking system. Simple. Elegant. Minimilist. Looks solid.
Like Art Dudley below, I started my first day at SSI at the Coup de Foudre room featuring DeVore speakers and Leben amplification. And like Art, I was impressed by the sound, listening to LPs of Skip James and Gil Scott-Heron. (John and Jonathan never play audiophile favorites.) And note the judicious use of the hotel's bed heads, usually hanging on the wall, in front of the window alcove to tame the room acoustics. Good Show sound benefits from the prepared mindor something.
Sam Tellig will be reviewing the bamboo-cabinet DeVore Gibbon 3XL speaker in the June issue of Stereophile.

Trying to find some traction in the defensive zone on a consistent basis has basically been an unsolvable riddle for the Winnipeg Jets during the better part of three seasons.
Although the sample size is extremely small, a mere two games into the Paul Maurice era, the Jets are showing signs of turning the corner in the area which has caused them the most difficulty and stress -- keeping the puck out of the net.
"The first thing we have to worry about is playing defence," said Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec, who has given up only three goals during the past two games. "If you play great defence, you create offence. It's the way we've played the past two games, it's been really good. We didn't give them much, that's the key."
But how have the Jets undergone such a dramatic turnaround?

Is Apple working on a gaming console with Valve?
On Friday, Apple CEO Tim Cook was spotted making a visit to the HQ of American game developer Valve Corporation. Many have speculated that this visit is directly linked to a gaming console that the two are developing together. There have been rumors surrounding both companies and a games console for a couple of weeks now. Last week there were rumors that Valve were working on a so called "Steam Box", a console that would run alongside Valve's popular gaming service Steam. And a couple of weeks ago, we brought you a rumor that Apple was working on some kind of gaming controller, leading many to make the jump to a console as well.
Then came an interesting blog entry from Valve's Michael Abrash. He claims that Valve are working on a new hardware project that he described as "wearable computing".
"By 'wearable computing' I mean mobile computing where both computer-generated graphics and the real world are seamlessly overlaid in your view; there is no separate display that you hold in your hands (think Terminator vision)"
Now he says "think Terminator vision", but I find myself thinking of Google's Project Glass. The technology won't be available for a long time, maybe 3 – 5 years, so don't get too excited for now.
If Apple and Steam are collaborating, what do you think might emerge?
But what was Tim Cook doing there? Metro suggests that whilst he may have been over to talk about "wearable computing", it's difficult to imagine Apple aren't working on something like that already. Elsewhere, Cult of Mac believe that Apple and Steam are collaborating on the afore mentioned "Steam Box", they also reckon it will incorporate some kind of Kinect-esque montion sensing technology.
Personally, the wearable computing idea sounds a little bit far fetched, not the concept, but the fact that Apple might be interested. For starters, Apple would have to called it iEye, which would just be silly. A 'Steam Box' sounds more plausible, but I find it very hard to believe that Apple would tie themselves to something that they hadn't designed themselves. If Apple happen to buy out Valve sometime soon, I might change my mind on that one.
What do you think? Leave a comment below, and be sure to follow me on Twitter for all the latest Apple news, reviews and rumors!

I fielded a call from a client today who wanted to know how to transfer a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) form he received via email to Microsoft Word so he could fill it out using his computer, save it, then email it back. My short answer was that he couldn't do it.
Technically, it can be done through a series of computer hocus-pocus, Jedi mind tricks, a great deal of knowledge about the Windows clipboard, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word and a lot of time. Knowing that this client didn't have these tools at his disposal, I elected to tell him that it couldn't be done.
Adobe Acrobat forms (PDF files) are not easy to edit or annotate because the purpose of a PDF is to preserve the formatting and integrity of the original document. Some PDF form designers can make their forms fillable using our computers, if they choose to do so. For example, many government sites like the IRS have forms that can be downloaded and printed or filled out right from our computers. Again, these forms are designed this way and not all PDF forms can be filled in via computer.
It bothered me all day that I still didn't know of a better solution for this common question; how to fill in a PDF (Adobe Acrobat) form on the computer. I did some research tonight and found that our new favorite PDF reader (Foxit Reader) has this capability built-in (see illustration). However, the free version will let you fill it in, but if you save, print, or email the filled in form, it will have some verbiage along with it stating that the feature is a pay feature. If you pay Foxit $40, you can use the feature and not have the trial verbage printed on your form. If you need to fill out a lot of PDF forms, this looks to be a great solution.
I write and talk about Web 2.0 all the time and lo-and-behold there is a Web 2.0 option for filling in PDF forms online. Aptly, it's named On-line PDF form filler. Unlike many of the Web 2.0 services I have introduced, however, On-line PDF form filler charges $1.49 per form. Considering the time savings a tool like this can provide, I think the cost is certainly more than reasonable for the occasional form. And if you need to fax the filled in form to someone, they can do it for you for just another $1.
I like the above two options just dandy, but I did find a few other PDF form fillers that can be purchased, but I haven't tried them:

Hi all
I am making a 'fist of rock' cake, and I'm really struggling with the actual devil horns hand. I'm using sugar dough and I just can't get it right. Originally started trying to do it in one solid piece but it's too big and heavy and can't support itself, so then I tried making the fingers individually with the idea that I will assemble and smooth the gaps at the end - but the 'bent' fingers are breaking up already.
Please help, I'm running out of time - has anyone made one successfully and how? Or any advice on modelling large objects in sugar dough in general would be SO appreciated right now!!
The hand is too large to do well without any internal support. Also, I think 100% sugar dough is not the way to go. You can use a dowel surrounded by RKT or a fondant/tylose mix.
The fingers should not be individual. Instead they are merely "bumps" off of the main structure. Sort of like hills and valleys.
I always find it easier to make a good internal support. In the end it saves a lot of time and gives you something that you don't have to sorry about
How would I go about making the support as you've shown in blue? Nightmare, I'm so going to run out of time :/ I've only ever made models soley from sugar dough.
We don't really have the RKT stuff over here, it's a very US thing! But I'm guessing what that would do is give a lightweight internal 'base' to build over?
OK, I've found a guide on here for RKT. I'm going to give it a go.
So, to be clear - would I still need the internal support for an RKT middle/core, or do I just make a 'block' of RKT and then carve/shape it and then cover in sugarpaste etc for colour and to add the detailing? I suppose I am not sure how to make the internal support...
Don't stress. The work in any figurine that's tall is the support. Once you have that. You are really on an easy road.
I don't know what you have available to you.
In my area I can easily get PVC pipe, wooden dowels, cardboard tubes. All of these work.
It depends on your product availability.
Do you know how to screw things together? I'm not asking a silly question. I was like a person with no ability years ago. Then I got a screw gun and I was like a master builder. Funny how capable we are when we need to be.
I would get a fat wooden dowel and a thin rectangular piece of wood. I would screw the rectangular piece of wood to the top of the wooden dowel. Then I would screw two narrower dowels to the top of the rectangular piece of wood. Those would be the support for your two fingers that stick up.
It sounds like a lot but it's really just about 4 or 5 screws and you're done.
Make sure you let the main dowel be long so it has length to stick into your cake.
If you prefer you can use a plastic pipe. It's wide, (about the width of a human wrist) and do the same thing with a need for less RKT on the arm part.
Ahh ok, I suppose I had in my mind the plastic rods I use for internal tier support on the cakes, and couldn't see how they would fix together.
I am pretty handy with DIY stuff - typically my drill/screw driver completely died last week when I was decorating!! But I will try to borrow one and also try to find a DIY store near here tomorrow lunchtime for wood.
I like the plastic pipe idea, although, would they be hollow? Like thin drainpipe? If so, would you just push the end of that into the cake, or what? I guess I could disinfect it first, or am I not picturing the same thing as you?
Thanks so much for your help so far, I'm still stressing due to time but I may just pull it off :/
New PVC pipe from the store is just as clean as cake pans you buy from a bakery supply store. You just wash and use like any other product.
Yes, plastic pipe would be hollow.
If it is a normal height cake (4"), you can just push it in. You want to try to make the hand light in weight. There's no benefit to something heavy
I think it will be 3" high, but I can measure as the icing layers & fondant will add some. That is great, it is what I had in mind from what you said but wanted to be sure.
I will go to the store tomorrow and see what they have and what looks like will work. Then I'll get learning about RKT. This could go either way!!
If you use RKT remember, it is hard for RKT to stick to the smoothness of PVC. You can file (roughen up) your PVC, and do the following.
What I do is melt some marshmallows and paint it onto the PVC pipe. While it's soft I add the RKT.
Sorry - one more thing before I start on the RKT... I've got the dowel so I will assemble a frame, but with the RKT, so what do I do? Make it up and apply it while it's still warm/pliable kinda thing? Do I do it in layers and let each dry or get it all on there in one hit? Do I apply too much and carve/shape it back?
Sorry for all the questions, you really are helping SO much, I'm so grateful!
If you use a wooden dowel, there will be good "stick" for the RKT. Remember, the RKTs really compress a lot. You are not trying to do layers. You want to use a good size block. I would use a warm rectangle of RKT and roll them around the dowel. Remember, they have tons of air space that you will press out, so you want to have the RKT thick so after you compress them, they are the diameter that you are looking for. Try to keep the smooth side of the RKT on the outside and press inward, not rolling like a rolling pin.
OK! So I've read loads of stuff on here about RKT and am giving that on it's own a trial run tonight, i.e. making it, having a play, seeing how fast it sets up, that kinda thing, then pressing it into a box to see what it's like when set tomorrow and how it handles once set. I'm going with blitzing the RKs in a FP first too.
I've done my wood frame, but screws didn't work as the wood I have is pretty thin (like 15mm) so even with small screws it just splits when I try to join them, so I'm going with glue! I'll see how it looks & feels tomorrow and could try tape to reinforce I guess.
So tomorrow evening is the test! The frame will be done and I will mould RKT around it and see what happens. If that doesn't work then I have the back up of the solid RKT that I've made tonight that I could carve - or basically forget it, and, cry. Hahah.
I did a Father's Day cake with the the rock n roll hand sign for my boyfriend, I am having trouble attaching it, it's in my photos.. I made it out of rice krispie treats and modeling chocolate. when it was time to put in in the cake I put a lollipop stick in it and then put it on the cake.
Good Luck...post a photo so we can see how it turns out!

Oooo please more details!! Did you: Use a frame/support? Mould the RKT while warm, or carve from a cold block? How much detail did you get in the RKT before covering (ie how much was modelling chocolate)
Slightly running out of experimentation time now so any advice is SO gratefully taken!!
I checked your photo - nice! How big was the hand? Life size?
I always use store bought RKT, room temp. the ones individually wrapped then I just press them together. I believe I did used 2 cut pieces of lollipop sticks in the the fingers but no frame. Yes, it was life size. I didn't really get much detail in the RKT, as much as possible but it's hard to do. I make the modeling chocolate and I just used one batch. I got the recipe from here...
I make alot of the things that go on top of my cakes with RKT and modeling chocolate....it's so easy and fairly light. Hope this helps!
Ok! So this evening I have done the moulding, I hope I have gone for enough detail but not too much, as I intend to do the finer stuff with the outer icing coat. I feel confident that the structure (glued) is strong enough, I didn't feel any wobble or flex while I was moulding onto it.
Tomorrow eve I will cover in royal icing and then Friday (down to the wire!) I will cover in fondant or sugar dough or MMP, not sure yet I have all 3... probably sugar paste actually as the structure is there and it will give me more time to work before it dries.
The wrist is slightly moving down the support as it sets but I'm hoping I'm not going to find it all in a slithered messy heap tomorrow morning :/
Couple of pics attached, what do you think? Ok for the RKT base? (oh and I'm surprised at how 'flesh' coloured RKT is!!) I don't think I've left enough gap between the fingers etc to allow for the fondant but it's too late now, it'll just have to be a bit chubby!!
OK, covered! Not perfect but ok for a first attempt. It's SO heavy though, if it stays upright in the cake I will be happy... eek...
I'll post pics in my gallery of the completed cake on the weekend, here are ones of the hand:

FANCY a nice pie with some creamy mash for dinner tonight? Taste.com.au makes it easy with this great recipe.
2 tablespoons olive oil
800g gravy beef, trimmed, cut into 2.5cm pieces
1 medium brown onion, chopped
2 small carrots, halved, cut into 2cm pieces
1 celery stick, trimmed, cut into 2cm pieces
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 tablespoons plain flour
420g can Heinz Big Red condensed tomato soup
3/4 cup beef stock
Sour cream mash
1.25kg sebago potatoes, peeled, chopped
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup grated tasty cheese
Watch this video for more cooking instructions
Step 1
Heat half the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook the beef, in batches, for 5 minutes or until browned all over. Transfer to the bowl of a slow cooker.
Step 2
Heat remaining oil in pan. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes or until softened. Add carrot and celery. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until vegetables just start to turn golden. Add garlic, paprika and caraway seeds. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add flour. Cook, stirring, to coat vegetables.
Step 3
Gradually add soup and stock, stirring to combine. Transfer mixture to slow cooker. Season with pepper. Stir to combine. Cover slow cooker with lid. Turn on to low. Cook for 6 hours or until beef is very tender. Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. You will need to stir the mixture occasionally during the last 2 hours cooking to prevent it from sticking and burning to the edge of the slow-cooker bowl.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make sour cream mash: Cook potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water for 10 to 12 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Return potato to pan over low heat. Mash until smooth. Stir in sour cream and cheese. Season with pepper.
Step 5
Spoon beef mixture into a 4.5cm deep, 24cm (top) round pie dish. Dollop mash on top (you may need to spread top slightly with a spatula). Bake pie dish on a baking tray for 25 to 30 minutes or until top is golden. Serve.

Washington (D.C.) Ballou defensive tackle Marvin Austin took an unofficial visit to Virginia this past Sunday to take in a practice, meet some players and take a look around the Charlottesville campus.
"I went down with Marvin and he had a good time," said Ballou assistant coach Todd Amis. "We stayed for pretty much the whole day so Marvin got to see practice and got to meet with coach Groh before and after. He spent a lot of time with coach Groh and defensive line coach Mike London. He likes the coaching staff there a lot."
Austin also got to meet an NFL Hall of Famer.
Article Continues Below
"Howie Long was down there watching his son so we got to speak to him for awhile," said Amis. "Marvin got to meet Chris Long, Eugene Monroe and some other players."
Austin got a closeup look at Virginia's 3-4 defense.
"He didn't really comment about the 3-4 much, we were mostly watching the talent on the team and they have a lot of talent. Monroe is the real deal, he's very good and they have some big players."
Austin came away with an understanding of what a UVA education offers.
"I told him that a lot of the guys I work with, attorneys, guys on The Hill, powerful folks in the area, many of them went to UVA," said Amis, who is a homicide detective in D.C. "A degree from UVA goes a long way."
Practice at Ballou, Austin's new school, begins today so this will be the final unofficial visit for Austin this summer.
"He's been to Florida State, Miami, Notre Dame, Maryland and Virginia," he said. "That's pretty good for the summer. Now he's working on trimming his list and setting up official visits. He'll probably set a few of those soon."
As for leaders?
"Your guess is as good as mine," Amis said. "I'm pretty close to Marvin but I'm not pressing him and he doesn't talk a lot about it. I know he'll take an official visit out to Southern Cal, but beyond that I'm not sure."


text: Endometrial Cancer: DiagnosisHow is endometrial cancer diagnosed?If your healthcare provider thinks you might have endometrial cancer, you will need certain exams and tests to be sure. Diagnosing endometrial cancer starts with your healthcare provider asking you questions. He or she will ask about your health history, your symptoms, risk factors, and family history of disease. Your healthcare provider will also give you a physical exam. This will include a pelvic exam.Diagnosis may be done by a gynecologist. Or you may see a gynecologic oncologist. These doctors specialize in treating cancers and other diseases of the female reproductive organs.What tests might I need?You may have one or more of the following tests:Transvaginal ultrasound (ultrasonography)Endometrial biopsyDilation and curettage (D&C)Transvaginal ultrasound (ultrasonography)An ultrasound test uses sound waves to create images on a computer screen. It's done with a small wand called a transducer that's placed in the vagina. The test creates pictures of the uterus and measures the thickness of the endometrium. The doctor may do a biopsy if the endometrium looks too thick.Endometrial biopsyA biopsy is when small pieces of tissue are taken and looked at with a microscope. A biopsy is the only way to confirm cancer. An endometrial tissue sample is collected by using a small flexible tube that is put into the uterus. The tissue sample is examined to see if there are cancer cells or other abnormal cells in it. This biopsy is often done in a doctor's office. It may also be done during a D&C. Dilation and curettage (D&C)Your doctor may recommend a D&C if an endometrial biopsy is not possible or more information is needed. This is a minor surgery in which the cervix is opened (dilated). The cervical canal and uterine lining are then scraped with a spoon-shaped tool called a curette. A pathologist looks at the tissue for cancer cells.Getting your test resultsWhen your healthcare provider has the results of your tests, he or she will talk with you about next steps. Your provider will talk with you about other tests you may need if endometrial cancer is found. This may include repeating the biopsy or more tests. Make sure you understand the results and what follow-up you need.

HBK Gang ft. Dave Steezy - Go Crazy
Unable to Watch this Youtube Video? Click here to play in Soundcloud instead.
When a record is titled "Go Crazy," you can expect the story behind it to be a little wild. Surprise, surprise; the genesis of this cut is, in fact, a little bonkers. After a long night in the studio, the HBK Gang's brains were more than a little fried. Around 5:00 AM, P-Lo, Jay Ant, and Kuya started to go crazy, yelling at everyone in the studio. The man behind the slapping, crashing beat, Jay Ant, plugged in his flash drive and had HBK (IAMSU! Skip & P-Lo) and guest emcee Dave Steezy each drop some quirky, energetic bars full of clever, eccentric lyrics. And there you have it. Go Crazy is the inaugural song release off HBK's Gang Forever tape, out later today.

I recently conducted a survey on gun control in my school to see what some of the students in my school feel could be changed about gun laws. After reviewing the survey, I think that there are a large number of students who believe that there need to be changes to gun laws.
One thing I thought was interesting is that many people agreed with a question asking whether there should be tracking devices put in guns that are purchased so that the gun can't go off in public places like malls or schools, for example.

Embracing the holidays with aging parents
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The winter holidays contain different meanings for different folks. However, the holidays are much about spending time with family.
Hopefully you will be able to see your aging parents sometime over the holiday season.
If your parents are lonely and are having a difficult time living alone, the holidays can be a difficult and stressful time for them. If you can approach this time with a positive attitude, your visit will be enjoyed by all.
Be sure to check on their well-being. If you haven't seen your parents in a while, check their refrigerator and pantry to make sure they are eating properly.
Check the safety of their home. Make sure they have smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms. Change the batteries in them or at least test them.
Check the rooms for fall hazards. Watch them walk. Are they unsteady? Could they use a cane or walker? Do they have help available to clear their walkways? Do they have adequate clothing for the winter months?
Seniors who live alone can suffer from depression, especially in the Minnesota winters. Make sure they are getting out to activities and church if that is important to them. Offer transportation to them or find alternative transportation if you are not able to provide that.
If they seem lonely, try to get them connected with groups with their same interests. Talk to them about joining a local senior club or taking a community education class.
Are they missing family members who have passed away? Talk to them about that. Reminisce about those loved ones who are gone.
Make sure your parents are aware of the services that are available to them in Douglas County.
Make sure they have the knowledge and tools needed to live independently and safely when you leave and get back to your own life. Get them set up with local resources to help them stay safe at home.
Enjoy your time together. Play games. Watch old movies together. Go through old pictures or family videos. Dance with them. Take them out to see the Christmas lights around the area. Go to school or church programs.
Talk about the things you did when you were a kid. Play Christmas music and sing songs together. Take them to a movie theater. Bake with them some of the Christmas treats that you enjoyed as a child.
Spoil them a little by taking them out to their favorite restaurant or make their favorite meal at home. Let them play games with the grandchildren while you cook or clean a little. Ask them if there are projects that you could help them with.
We wish you a happy and safe holiday season and remember that we are always here to help you with your parents. If you believe that your parents' safety or health is at risk, don't hesitate to give me a call at (320) 762-3047.
Our services are free and we have lots of resources to get the right help to your parents to maintain their independence as long as possible.

Carbon-14 (C-14) is a key radionuclide in the assessment of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for radioactive waste. In the UK a significant proportion of the national C-14 inventory is associated with reactor-core graphite generated by the decommissioning of the UK's Magnox and AGR reactors.
There are a number of uncertainties associated with the fate and transport of C-14 in a post-closure disposal environment that need to be considered when calculating the radiological impacts of C-14-containing wastes. Some of these uncertainties are associated with the distribution of C-14-containing gaseous species such as 14CH4 and 14CO2 between the groundwater and gaseous release pathways. As part of the C14-BIG programme, a modelling framework has been developed to investigate these uncertainties. This framework consists of a biogeochemical near-field evolution model, incorporating a graphite carbon-14 release model, which interfaces with a geosphere/biosphere model. The model highlights the potential impact of the microbial reduction of 14CO2 to 14CH4, through the oxidation of H2, on C-14 transport. The modelling results could be used to inform the possible segregation of reactor graphite from other gas-generating wastes.
Approximately 80,000 tonnes of irradiated graphite will arise from the decommissioning of Magnox and AGR reactors (NDA, 2011, 2014). This graphite contains the majority of the UK intermediate-level radioactive waste C-14 inventory (NDA, 2012). C-14 is a key radionuclide in the assessment of a geological disposal facility (GDF) for UK radioactive waste and the radiological consequences of gaseous C-14 transport in particular have been recognized as a potential issue (NDA, 2012).
There are uncertainties associated with the long-term release of C-14 from irradiated graphite which are related to the release mechanisms, the chemical forms, and the total releasable fraction of the C-14 inventory. In particular the partitioning of C-14 between aqueous and gaseous phases could have a significant impact on the transport of C-14 bearing species.
The release of C-14 via a gas release pathway in a fractured higher-strength host rock is highly dependent on the volumes of non-radioactive gases generated within a GDF, as these gases have the ability to drive the transport of the smaller volumes of C-14 bearing gases. Microbiological and corrosion processes may generate gas within a disposal facility and the associated biogeochemical processes have been addressed in detail by several studies (Humphreys et al., 1997; Graham et al., 2003; Suckling et al., 2011). The most mobile C-14 species is likely to be CH4 as this is not subject to precipitation reactions that will retard the migration of C-14-labelled CO2. If C-14-labelled CH4 reaches the biosphere it will be subjected to microbial oxidation to C-14 CO2; once converted to CO2 the C-14 is available for root and foliar uptake by plants (Hoch et al., 2014).
The mechanisms associated with the migration of radioactive gases are strongly influenced by the host rock and could be described by following a two-phase flow approach (Kuitunen, 2011; Schwartz, 2012). It is difficult, however, to incorporate a complex two-phase flow modelling into assessment-level models. Therefore, an alternative approach, which is more suitable for screening studies, is to describe the advection and dispersion processes in the geosphere with a simplified mass pathway (Limer et al., 2010; Towler et al., 2012).
The impact of C-14 release from graphite in geological disposal has been addressed in several studies. Bracke and Muller (2008) discussed possible scenarios for the release pathways and the associated processes towards a less conservative approach in the release of C-14 from a low-level waste repository. Smith et al. (2012) presented a comparison of five models used to predict uptake of C-14 to agricultural crops, within the international BIOPROTA framework. Towler et al. (2012) presented an analysis related to UK graphite in a deep repository during the EC CARBOWASTE project. The analysis presented in those studies demonstrated that, in principle, it should be possible to dispose safely of irradiated graphite wastes in isolation, in a wide range of disposal systems, including near-surface, shallow and deep geological disposal, and in a wide range of host rocks.
As part of the C14-BIG programme, a modelling framework has been developed that goes beyond that modelled by Towler et al. (2012) by integrating a range of gas generation processes with recent insights into the speciation of C-14 leaching from reactor graphite (Baston et al., 2014). This framework consists of a biogeochemical near-field evolution model, incorporating a graphite C-14 release model, which interfaces with a geosphere/biosphere model developed in a GoldSim (2010) simulation environment.
Model description
Near-field processes
C-14 release from reactor graphite
The release of C-14 from graphite is modelled using the approach presented recently by Baston et al. (2014). The conceptual model considers three fractions: a rapidly releasable fraction loosely bound to the graphite surface; a slowly releasable fraction from the graphite porosity; and a retained fraction that is immobilized in the graphite structure. The C-14 released is further speciated into CO2, CO and CH4 before being released into the aqueous or gaseous phases. The conceptual model is illustrated in Fig. 1 and the release rate is calculated as: (1) where q is the release rate of C-14 from graphite [TBq/y], kca and kcc are the rate constants for the rapid and the slow release [y−1], respectively, Fca and Fcc are the rapidly and the slowly releasable fraction, respectively, A0 is the initial activity of C-14 in the graphite [TBq], λc is the radioactive decay rate of C-14 [a−1] and t is time [y].
The corrosion of steel is modelled under anaerobic, saturated conditions via the following reaction scheme (Suckling et al., 2011): Steel corrosion is modelled by zero-order kinetics and is given by: (2) where Q is the mass of steel [mol], ρ is the density of steel [kg/m3], M is effective molecular mass of steel [kg/mol], r is the corrosion rate under anaerobic conditions [m/y] and A is the surface area of steel [m2].
Microbial degradation
Cellulose is the only class of organic waste considered within the model. The microbial degradation of polymeric organics such as cellulose follows a generic sequence of events (Rittmann and McCarty, 2001), where first the polymer is converted into soluble intermediates. These are then subjected to microbial oxidation reactions depending on the prevailing geochemical conditions. The microbial degradation of polymeric substrates and the subsequent generation of gas is a rather complex process involving an array of microbial species. Representation of this process can be simplified by the fact that the conversion of polymeric substrates to their soluble intermediates is often the rate-limiting factor in the gas-generation process (Rittmann and McCarty, 2001), allowing the microbial oxidation of polymers to be coupled directly to the reduction of the relevant terminal electron acceptors. This approach has been applied in other modelling studies (McNab and Narasimham, 1994; Postima and Jacobsen, 1996; Suckling et al., 2011), because it simplifies the model by reducing the number of kinetic parameters required. In the model reported here, organic degradation is modelled by the following reaction: where d = 4n+a−2b (for cellulose: n = 6, a = 10, b = 5, d = 24).
The degradation of cellulose is modelled by first-order reaction kinetics: (3) where C is the mass of polymer [mol] and k is the degradation rate constant under anaerobic conditions [y−1].
Microbial metabolism of corrosion-derived hydrogen follows first-order reaction kinetics and is coupled to the reduction of carbon dioxide: The microbial consumption of hydrogen and the generation of hydrogen from corrosion have independent reaction rates. If the rate of microbial hydrogen metabolism is greater than that of corrosion and the associated hydrogen generation, then the rate of corrosion becomes the limiting process.
Microbes utilize part of the degraded organic material to produce new biomass of the composition C5H7O2N. Microbes are also subjected to natural turnover as cells have finite lifetimes and the model assumes that a fraction of the dead biomass is recycled to the organic material. The production rate of biomass is controlled by the degradation rate of the organic material and the decay rate of biomass, and is given by: (4) where X is the biomass [mol], Y is the biomass yield coefficient, and D is the biomass decay rate [y−1].
The microbial groups required to catalyse the processes above are assumed to be present within the repository. This can be justified on the basis that microbes will enter the repository during the construction and operational phases, and in the waste and the groundwater entering the repository.
Microbial activity in the near field of a cementitious GDF will be influenced by the ambient pH conditions. In an homogenous, highly alkaline environment (pH > 12.5) (NDA, 2010a), microbial activity is unlikely (Humphreys et al., 2010), and in this case only corrosion and cellulose hydrolysis will proceed. In a heterogeneous near field, lower pH niches (between 10 and 12.5) may occur, allowing microbial activity to take place. Microbial activity at pH values < 12.5 has been demonstrated by experimental work carried out as part of the C-14 BIG project (Rout et al., 2015) which has shown that microbially driven organic degradation and associated methane generation can occur at pH 11.0 in completely mixed systems.
Chemical processes
The model does not simulate an evolving near-field chemistry or take into account temperature variations, rather it is a scenario-based approach which is employed to simulate qualitatively different near-field evolutions. In addition, the model does not take into account any potential disequilibria between C-14 and C-12 and the model implicitly assumes initial isotopic equilibrium in all phases. One key process considered by the model is carbonation, where dissolved CO2 has the potential to be retained in the near field via carbonation reactions with cementitious materials within the GDF (NDA, 2010a). Carbonation is important because it has the potential to retain C-14 in the near-field through the precipitation of C-14-bearing CO2.
Additional aspects of near-field modelling
In the modelling approach presented here, the generation of biogenic and C-14-bearing gases in a GDF is influenced by microbial activity, metal corrosion and the release of C-14 from graphite. The migration of C-14 to the geosphere/biosphere environment follows a groundwater pathway or a gas pathway and is influenced by the magnitude of groundwater flowand the partitioning of gas between the solution and the gaseous phase. The relevant modelling assumptions are discussed below.
The model assumes, for simplicity in run time, constant (in time and space) values of rock permeability and hydraulic gradient and uses Darcy's law to estimate groundwater inflow and outflow in the near field. C-14-bearing species dissolved in the groundwater entering the far field from the near field constitutes the groundwater release pathway.
The gas generated in the near field is partitioned between the solution and the gas phase using Henry's law. The gas phase is hosted in an assumed headspace within the repository (Humphreys et al., 1997; Graham et al., 2003). The aqueous phase is in equilibrium with the headspace gases and it is assumed that there is a perfect mixing between the gases both in the headspace and the aqueous phase. The carbonate chemistry associated with carbon dioxide solubility is not modelled explicitly. Rather the carbonation process is modelled as a sink term for carbon dioxide removal, an approach consistent with other gas generation models (Rodwell, 2004). A fractured, higher-strength host rock is assumed to host the repository and as such is assumed not to represent a significant barrier to gas migration (NDA, 2010c). Gas is released to the far field via the headspace based on the mean near field gas pressure, which is determined by assuming that hydrostatic conditions exist. This release of C-14-bearing gases to the far field constitutes the gaseous release pathway.
Far-field modelling
The migration of C-14 from the near field follows the groundwater or the gaseous release pathway through the geosphere before entering the biosphere environment. A detailed representation of the geosphere/biosphere system is beyond the scope of the model presented here. The model presented here simplifies these processes in order to understand the impact of a number of near-field assumptions on the transformation and release of C-14 with the aim of informing future methodological developments.
The groundwater and gas pathway of C-14 from the repository to the biosphere is shown in Fig. 2. Along the groundwater pathway, the model considers a constant groundwater flow and advection and dispersion processes through a homogeneous and isotropic geological medium. Groundwater abstraction is modelled from a near-surface aquifer system. The model allows dissolved C-14 species to be released into the gas phase as the groundwater approaches the surface because water pressure decreases along with associated solubility of C-14-bearing gases. Gaseous species released from the groundwater are assumed to travel to the biosphere through faults in the higher-strength host rock following mostly a vertical elevation. The migration of the free gas phase generated in the near field and in the groundwater pathway is controlled by a constant gas-flow rate depending on rock permeability, flow area and pressure difference according to the Darcy flow equation.
The biosphere environment is simulated by using three discrete model compartments: the soil-plant, the animal uptake and the human uptake. The soil-plant compartment is based on the enhanced RIMERS model (Thorne, 2005) and is interfaced both with the gas and the groundwater pathway. Within the soil compartment, 14CH4 in the free gas phase is assumed conservatively to be fully metabolized by microbes to 14CO2. The animal and the human uptake compartments are based on the ingestion rates of particular food sources and the C-14 dose coefficients; these are only interfaced with the groundwater pathway. The biosphere is modelled in line with the approach described by Limer et al. (2010).
Scenarios description
The modelling framework is applied to an assumed repository at a depth of 650 m containing intermediate-level radioactive wastes based on the UK inventory. Fully saturated and anaerobic conditions are assumed from the beginning of the simulation as only the post-close environment is considered here. The initial inventory data and associated model parameters are specified in Table 1.
A scenario-based approach is employed to investigate the release and transport of the C-14 associated with reactor graphite. In Scenario A, graphite is assumed to be segregated from the other wastes and packaged in concrete. Carbonation is assumed to dominate the behaviour of carbon dioxide and processes such as corrosion and microbial activity which may influence C-14 transport are considered to be negligible.
In Scenario B, the release of C-14 is modelled alongside the generation of hydrogen from the corrosion of steel packaging and waste components. Microbial activity is assumed to be negligible due to the ambient pH of the repository and once again the behaviour of carbon dioxide is assumed to be dominated by carbonation.
In Scenario C, a biotic environment is considered and microbial activity is modelled, alongside corrosion and the release of C-14 from graphite. In this scenario two cases are examined. In the first case, C1, microbial activity is able to utilize carbon dioxide in the metabolism of corrosion hydrogen and the generation of methane with only excess carbon dioxide being removed by carbonation. In the second case, C2, all the carbon dioxide generated during cellulose degradation is removed by carbonation.
The three scenarios considered generated different radiological dose profiles when modelled up to 105 y (Fig. 3). In scenario A, the dose remains at <0.01 μSv/y with the groundwater release pathway dominating over the gaseous release pathway. The release of C-14 via the gas pathway is low in scenario A, due to the absence of a driving force associated with the generation of bulk gases by corrosion and organic degradation. Releases to the biosphere via the groundwater pathway are low due to the combined impacts of low near-field conductivity, carbonation, dispersion and radioactive decay.
Scenarios B and C2 have broadly similar dose profiles, the increased doses over and above those seen in scenario A are due to the generation of bulk gases which in turn drive the release of C-14 bearing gases. The doses are slightly higher in scenario C2, than those in scenario B; the difference being due to the larger gas volumes generated by microbial activity in scenario C2.
In scenario C1, the dose is significantly greater than that simulated in the other scenarios. This is largely due to the microbial reduction of C-14-bearing CO2 to C-14-bearing CH4. This contrasts with the other scenarios where the majority of the C-14-bearing CO2 is retained in the near field via carbonation reactions with cement.
The groundwater and the gas components of the effective dose for scenario C1, which are related with the groundwater pathway and the gas pathway, respectively, are shown in Fig.4. The gas component increases earlier and is the only component of the dose for ~1000 y. After this time, the groundwater component also becomes an important contribution to the peak dose estimate. The double peak in the gas component is related to changes in the volumes of non radioactive gases generated in the near field and driving the release of C-14 bearing gases. The start of the second peak represents the point at which corrosion-derived hydrogen begins to appear alongside microbially generated methane (Fig. 5). This occurs when the supply of CO2 derived from organic-waste degradation is not sufficient to account for all the hydrogen generated by corrosion.
Discussion and conclusions
The modelling work reported here highlights a number of key processes that influence the radiological assessment of the disposal of reactor graphite and the associated C-14. The approach aligns with the opinions expressed by Bracke and Muller (2008) who argued for less conservative approaches to C-14 assessment modelling. The results are also in agreement with those of Towler et al. (2012) who took a different approach to represent a similar system. The modelling framework reported here could help to inform the possible segregation of reactor graphite from other gas-generating waste forms to minimize C-14 transport via the gas pathway.
The work also highlights the significance of the potential role of microbial reduction of C-14-bearing CO2 to C-14 bearing CH4 through the oxidation of corrosion hydrogen in increasing the mobility and possible radiological impacts of C-14. The importance of this process is being emphasized by experimental evidence for the release of C-14 from graphite as CO2 (Baston et al., 2014). Assessment and modelling studies have generally reduced the calculated impact of this process by invoking carbonation as a mechanism for the diversion of C-14-bearing CO2 into an immobilized and biologically inert form (Jackson and Yates, 2011; Towler et al., 2012; Hoch et al., 2008). The modelling results reported here indicate that microbial generation of C-14 bearing CH4 is only significant when microbes have access to C-14 CO2 prior to carbonation. In this case, the conversion of CO2 to CH4 becomes controlled by the availability of H2 generated by corrosion. The importance of carbonation as an attenuating process for C-14 transport should also be viewed in the context of experimental evidence of the direct utilization of calcite by hydrogen oxidizing microbes under neutral and alkaline conditions (Suzuki et al., 2014; Virden and Kral, 2010).

Leinster secure home semi
It was mission accomplished for Leinster in their 54-13 win over Edinburgh at the RDS as they secured a home semi-final in the RaboDirect PRO12.
The runaway league leaders are guaranteed to finish in the top two now following their 16th win of the campaign, which was rubber-stamped by five second-half tries.
Shane Jennings' fortuitous early try was cancelled out by Nick De Luca's 11th-minute effort, before scores from Fergus McFadden and Sean Cronin saw Leinster break into an 18-7 interval lead.
Fionn Carr's 43rd-minute try sealed the bonus point but Edinburgh leaked four more touchdowns as this clash of the Heineken Cup semi-finalists turned into a romp.
Edinburgh bore a close resemblance to their European line-up, making five changes to the side that shocked Toulouse last weekend.
Leinster, on the other hand, retained only Isa Nacewa, Gordon D'Arcy and stand-in captain Jamie Heaslip from their quarter-final win over Cardiff.
The game burst into life with a number of players looking to press their claims for more regular game-time, and the sight of Devin Toner galloping into the Edinburgh 22 delighted the home support.
McFadden watched a penalty attempt flick away off the left post, but covering winger Lee Jones failed to control the difficult bouncing ball and Jennings swept in to ground it for the opening try.
McFadden failed to add the conversion and Edinburgh initiated an immediate response, piling through the middle before Laidlaw's pass sent De Luca over for a well-worked try.
The right-sided conversion was landed by Laidlaw to move the Scots 7-5 ahead, but their lead was a brief one as Leinster hit back with a stunning second touchdown.
Countering from deep, Nacewa sent David Kearney surging down the right wing and his inside pass was perfectly timed for McFadden to gather and complete a 40-metre dash to the corner.
But the centre's place-kicking woes continued with a missed conversion and a penalty attempt that went wide at the midpoint of the half.
Edinburgh defended well until Kyle Traynor infringed at a 29th-minute scrum and McFadden was back on target from the resulting kick, splitting the posts from the left.
Laidlaw missed a long range effort and the hosts, retaining possession well, added a third unconverted try when hooker Cronin charged on to Isaac Boss' pass to score from close range.
Into the second half, Edinburgh conceded an early try as Ian Madigan's clever kick to the left was gobbled up by Carr and the conversion was supplied by Nacewa.
Two penalties from Laidlaw kept Michael Bradley's men in touch at 25-13 down, however the hosts really bossed the final quarter.
A Nacewa penalty put 15 points between the sides and then the full-back burst on to a Boss pass to grab try number five which he converted himself.
A powerful lineout maul saw replacement Leo Auva'a crash over for the sixth, and a scintillating length of the field break, sparked by man-of-the-match Madigan, put another reserve, Brendan Macken, over in the same right corner.
The icing on the cake for Joe Schmidt's charges was a last-minute try for giant lock Toner, who darted through a gap and muscled over past the final two defenders.
Benetton Treviso secured a victory on Welsh soil as they beat Newport Gwent Dragons 33-32 for the first time at Rodney Parade since 2007 in a match which turned white hot in the last 25 minutes.
Treviso came from behind, with tries from flanker Alessandro Zanni, full-back Luke McLean, outside-half Kris Burton and centre Alberto Sgarbi, with Burton kicking 13 further points to add a bonus point to their tally.
It was a reasonable game in the first half but became a thriller towards the end. The Dragons got two bonus points as they finished one point adrift of their opponents and also scored four tries, with wing Aled Brew getting two and others coming from number eight Toby Faletau and centre Adam Hughes.

Dietary Changes, Calorie Intake and Undernourishment: A Comparative Study of India and Vietnam
This paper examines the changes in the nature and quantity of Food consumption in India during the reforms decade of the 1990s, and analyses their implications for calorie intake and undernourishment. The study documents the decline in cereal consumption, especially in the urban areas, and provides evidence that suggests an increase in the prevalence of undernourishment over the period, 1987/88 – 2001/2002. The results also point to a significant number of households, even in the top expenditure decile, suffering from under nourishment. This calls for a reassessment of the current strategy of directing the Targetted Public Distribution System (TPDS) exclusively at households below the poverty line (BPL). This study shows that, both as a source of subsidised calories and as a poverty reducing instrument, the PDS is of much greater importance to the female headed households than it is to the rest of the population. Another important result is that, notwithstanding the sharp decline in their expenditure share during the 1990s, Rice and Wheat continue to provide the dominant share of calories, especially for the rural poor. The Indian experience is in sharp contrast to that in Vietnam which witnessed a large increase in calorie intake and, consequently, a decrease in the prevalence of ndernourishment in the late 1990s. The Vietnamese diet displayed increased diversification during the 1990s with a greater role for protein rich animal products and a more balanced diet of nutrients than in India.
