In a move that has thrilled beer style revivalists, a beer has been brewed from what was Victorian Britain's most popular barley variety for the first time in at least 70 years.
What is most interesting for historians of brewing is the way the revived malt acts when used to make beer, putting a new slant on the interpretation of old beer recipes, suggesting they produced beers using the ingredients available at the time that were both fuller in the mouth and less bitter than the same recipes using modern malts, and also beers that needed longer to mature than those made using modern malts do.
The new-old beer, a nut-brown bitter ale made using Chevallier barley, which once went into the vast majority of pints sold in Britain, will be on sale at the Duke of Wellington pub on Waterloo Road, Norwich this coming weekend in time for Camra's annual members' meeting in the city. But hurry: there's only one firkin available.
Chevallier barley was revived by Dr Chris Ridout of the John Innes Centre in Norwich, an independent grant-aided plant and microbiology research centre, which hold seeds from 10,000 varieties of barley at its genetic resources unit.
The reason for reviving Chevallier was to look again at its malting quality and yields, both of which were good enough to see the variety dominate British barley growing and spread around the world. Dr Ridout and his team have now discovered that Chevallier also has resistance to Fusarium ear blight, which, if it can be cross-bred into other varieties, could be very valuable in the fight against a fungal disease that can devastate grain crops.

Cross-platform web development tools company MoSync AB has announced extended functionality in the open-source release of its MoSync Software Development Kit (SDK) and MoSync Reload.
The new product features include in-app purchase functionality for Android and iOS, NativeUI Widgets for Windows Phone 7, and debugging of HTML5/JavaScript apps. New tutorials and user guides are also available for programmers to get started with the SDK and MoSync Reload.
The Swedish firm may be a relative unknown by many tech industry watcher's margins, but the firm insists that the SDK's new functionality for managing in-app purchases has proven to be one of the "most reliable business models" for developers to monetize their applications — on Android and iOS.
While many development groups are yet to turn onto the charms of Microsoft's mobile offering, the SDK also boasts support for the Windows Phone 7 platform. This, fairly logically, should enable developers to use MoSync's core libraries and application programming interfaces (APIs) to build native apps for Windows Phone 7.
"Our extensive support for Windows Phone 7 means that developers now have at their disposal what they need to enter the nascent Windows Phone ecosystem, and add value to existing apps they've developed for iOS and Android", said Anders Malm, technical director at MoSync. "With the new debugging features of HTML5/JavaScript apps in Reload, we make it viable to do more serious, professional software development using web technologies."
MoSync insists that it has consolidated its support for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platform, which means that all of the powerful C++ libraries in MoSync work automatically in applications built for Windows Phone 7 devices. In addition, MoSync has extended its NativeUI C++ Library with support for several new widgets.

During yesterday's summer league action, the always vigilant CJ Fogler noticed that Bazemore has the number 499 stitched into the tongue of his sneakers, presumably as a source of motivation. Here's hoping you break 450 this year, Kent.

6.11 percent of people in Bridgeport receive food stamps | File photo
According to an analysis of the federal program by the East Central Reporter, 6.11 percent of people in Bridgeport were receiving food stamps as of April 30.
Bridgeport is in ZIP code 62417, which includes a total of 3,390 people. Of that number, 415 (12.24 percent) were receiving food stamps as of April 30, down from 459 (13.54 percent) in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) administers the food stamps program, also known as "SNAP," for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
According to DHS, a family of four earning $40,020 per year receives $649 per month. A family of six earning $53,748 per year receives $925 per month. An individual earning $19,428 receives $194 per month. A childless couple earning $26,292 receives $357.
Approximately 16 percent of Illinois residents currently receive food stamps.
Nationally, 46.5 million Americans receive food stamps, or 15 percent of the U.S. population and 20 percent of U.S. households. In contrast, in 2000, 17.2 million Americans (6 percent) received food stamps. In 2008, that number was 28.2 million (9.3 percent).
In 1969, 2.878 million Americans received food stamps, or just 0.014 percent of the U.S. population.

Peyton Manning as star quarterback in his college years:
Now that Peyton Manning is leading the Denver Broncos to another Super Bowl opportunity, let's glance back at his early career — he was a star football player from his earliest throws as quarterback at UT:
Peyton Manning attended the University of Tennessee, where he was the starting quarterback for four years. He earned the Sullivan Award as the country's top amateur athlete in 1996, was selected a first-team All-American in 1997, and finished his collegiate career in 1998 as Tennessee's career passing leader.
He graduated in three years with a degree in speech communication, but chose to return to Tennessee for a fourth year.
Manning was drafted into the NFL first overall by the Indianapolis Colts in 1998.</p?

It's been almost a month since security researcher Trevor Eckhart approached me with a very complicated question. He had stumbled across what seemed like evidence that data was being recorded from his phone and sent to a company that was neither his carrier, Sprint, or his hardware manufacturer, HTC. It was a significant volume of information, and took Eckhart some time to sift though to find out what was actually going on. What made the situation worse was that, despite being on an "open" Android phone, it seemed like access to the information was as hidden as physically possible in the OS.
As Eckhart's research began to take shape, it was clear that this software's goal was to record phone state, location, and possibly even what buttons were pressed on the phone. It seemed like the software might even read text messages as the information hits our phones. Put simply, explanations were needed. I reached out to CarrierIQ, Sprint, and HTC to try and get a better sense of what exactly this software was used for. CarrierIQ explained that their goal was to collect quality information for the carrier to see where their networks needed attention. HTC refused to comment and Sprint made sure we were aware that their privacy policy was honored by the software.
Interestingly, shortly after the first story, Mr. Eckhart was sent a cease and desist letter by CarrierIQ for publishing false information about them. A short trip to the EFF and the legal document was retracted by CarrierIQ and an apology was given to Eckhart. Still, the CarrierIQ team felt that some of the information Eckhart published was incomplete or incorrect, and were concerned that people might get the wrong idea about what it is they do. So, in the spirit of making sure everyone was aware of exactly what he had uncovered, and ensuring there was no further space for misunderstanding, Eckhart published a video earlier today with his findings.
Eckhart put together a video of him turning on an HTC Evo3D with a completely stock (provided by HTC) ROM. He demonstrates that nowhere in the startup does any mention of CarrierIQ. There's nothing indicating that this software exists on the phone. When the applications are discovered, the ability to shut the apps down the same way you would any other app in Android has been circumvented. So, you now have a series of applications that you have to be extremely knowledgeable to find, and when you do find them they cannot be turned off. This is demonstrated in the first five minutes of the video, and these steps can be easily re-created if you have access to LogCat on your computer.
When you receive a text, the video demonstrates that the CarrierIQ software is aware of the text message and its contents before the phone notifies you that you have a message. CarrierIQ and Sprint both were adamant that the body of an SMS was not recorded, and yet we can clearly see in the video that the text contents are read and transmitted via the CarrierIQ applications. In an attempt to clear this matter up, I reached out to CarrierIQ again, who refused to comment and noted that they "are looking forwarding to our meeting with EFF this week and will continue to keep you updated."
The video also demonstrates how this software records the keys that are pressed in the dialer, before a call is even made. Anytime you press a key in the dialer app, even if you just press random numbers and then close the application, that information is logged by CarrierIQ. If you place a call, that information is recorded as well, along with network strength values. This way if anything happens that would interrupt the call, your carrier can see why it happened and fix it. There's a real benefit to the CarrierIQ software, but it is clear that far more is being recorded than is necessary.
One could assert that as long as the information is traveling across their mobile network, Sprint has access to it regardless (on the network side) so what does it matter? The next part of Eckhart's video involved browsing over WiFi. When you access a website using the secure protocol HTTPS, there's supposed to be a security authentication "handshake" that happens before anybody but you and the recipient has access to the information you are transmitting. Eckhart demonstrates that this software is recording the entire string, security information, URL and all. This is happening on a personal wireless network, not involving Sprint in any way, so who needs this information and what for?
It's not just WiFi use that concerns me. If you purchase a phone outright, or through a third party, and the phone is never connected to a mobile network, what business does that company have to your information? Why is this service not an opt-in, or something that can be turned off with an authorization code from Sprint?
This video has demonstrated a truly significant volume of information is being recorded. Passwords over HTTPS, the contents of your text messages, and plenty more are recorded and sent to the customers of CarrierIQ. A significant part of what was demonstrated is not included in any privacy agreement, and some of it was a direct contradiction of the statements that were made by these companies. It looks like we're being lied to, our information is being recorded, and there is nothing we can do about it.

All while drinking thoughtfully arranged and chilled champagne.
Blue Sky Taxi's unique service; real one way or round trip, point-to-point air travel to more than 350 airports in the Greater Midwest, is expanding the horizons of private air travel to customers on all economic levels, not just the upper income or business executive.

Makes 20
110g unsalted butter, room temperature
225g Demerara sugar
1 medium egg
4 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
200g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
110g plain chocolate, for dipping
Preheat the oven to 180oC/fan 160oC/gas 4. You will need a large baking sheet.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg, stir in the peanut butter and then the flour and baking powder.
Roll the mixture into balls the size of large walnuts and place them 5cm/2in apart on a baking sheet. Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven. The cookies will look like they are not cooked, but don't worry – they will carry on cooking as they cool.
While the cookies are in the oven, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave for 90 seconds. Using a palette knife, spread one side of the cookies with chocolate and place them on a wire rack to set.

ATTLEBORO — U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy III announced during a press conference held at Attleboro High School that he would introduce a bill in Washington to reauthorize and update the federal Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, which provides federal funding for vocational education. The act was last reauthorized in 2006.
Kennedy highlighted a few of the projects he encountered during visits to vocational schools throughout his district, including a precise scale model of an M1 Abrams tank students at Fall River's Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School he saw in February.
Kennedy was joined by Attleboro High School students and local school and city officials for the announcement.
"All of the experiences tell me the importance of career and technical education," Kennedy said. "The fact of the matter is, here in Massachusetts so many of our schools are already doing the work. The challenge we face is trying to make sure the rest of the country follows your lead," Kennedy said.
Kennedy said the Perkins Modernization Act of 2014, if passed, would strengthen and support career/technical education programs by using local workforce data to ensure that those programs are aligned to the needs of employers in local labor markets.
Kennedy said the bill already has bipartisan support, with Illinois Republicans Adam Kinzinger and Rodney Davis and Colorado Democrat Jared Polis co-sponsoring it.
"What it really does is ask schools and their school districts to use local labor markets and labor market data, as they try to build out skills," Kennedy said. "What skills do our businesses require? Who's hiring? Who's growing? What are the skills our students are going to need today, and years down into the future?
"This is not a red state issue, this is not a blue state issue. When it comes to educating our next generation workforce, that's something we can all agree on."
The Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, originally passed in 1984, provides federal funding for career and technical education, or CTE.
Kennedy's update revises the act's language, to ensure that local CTE programs "take into account the trends and projections identified by labor market data," according to a press release, which added, "When CTE is informed by labor market data and aligned with the evolving needs of our economy, students graduate ready for competitive employment and lifetime opportunity in the economy's in-demand industry sectors and occupations."
Kennedy said he would like to see what he views as successful CTE programs across the Bay State replicated in other parts of the country.
Kennedy said companies both large and small provide similar feedback: They have unfilled jobs that need a skilled work force. He said in Massachusetts he saw schools "leading the way," by aligning their curriculum with the needs of local employers, small businesses and emerging industries.
"Wherever there are pockets of opportunity in our regional economy, we need to make sure that those opportunities are being funneled with the best talent we can have. Here, educational training programs represent one of the best opportunities we have," Kennedy said.
Kennedy invited students to speak alongside the adults.
"We need to create more opportunities for students to have job skills," said Danell Simpson, an Attleboro High School senior at the school who took culinary arts classes at the school and is now working in a cooperative program during the school day at nearby Bertucci's Italian Restaurant.
Senior Brian Lucier showed off a senior project he made using the school's 3D printer. It loosely resembles a clamp, and is designed to help snowboard enthusiasts more easily board off a ski lift.
"We want to be able to be smart about how we're educating our students," Kennedy said. "Let's make sure the connections are there."
Local officials in other communities weighed in, including Taunton Mayor Tom Hoye, who said in a statement that "Career and technical education has long been a critical tool in connecting students in the Greater Taunton area with job opportunities in our modern economy."
"The Perkins Modernization Act will build on the success we have seen to date and ensure our system is preparing kids to be successful after graduation," Hoye said.
His remarks were echoed by business leaders and school officials.
"Our students, teachers, and administrators rely on the career technical education provided through the Perkins grant program," said Taunton Public Schools Superintendent Julie Hackett. "By distributing these grants based on industry and business demand, the Perkins Modernization Act will reinforce the pathway from the classroom to jobs in the Taunton area."
"Our chamber strives to foster a strong community for Taunton area businesses and to be a voice for their interests," said Taunton Area Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Kerrie Babin.
Fall River Mayor Will Flanagan said as his city "continues on a path towards economic recovery, it is essential that our students receive training that will translate to jobs in our city and region,"adding, the bill would "ensure that students in Fall River have the skills necessary to obtain jobs in emerging industries along the SouthCoast."
Fall River Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Robert Mellion said the Perkins Act is "an important resource in helping connect the education system to the needs of industry and manufacturing.
"If employers are to maintain their economic competitiveness, it will be through programs like the revised Perkins Act that help develop workforce skills," Mellion said.

European Union member states have signed over 1500 trade agreements with third countries, in addition to some 200 bilateral investment treaties (BIT) between EU members. Non-EU European states are party to over 700 trade agreements. Most of all of these contain investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) provisions.
The EU as such has only ratified one treaty with an ISDS mechanism, the Energy Charter Treaty (ECT), to which 52 European and Central Asian countries are party. The EU is also in the process of ratifying comprehensive trade agreements with Canada (CETA) and Singapore, both of which include ISDS provisions, and is currently negotiating trade deals with the US (TTIP), India, Malaysia, Vietnam and many other countries.
The EU has initiated the majority of disputes if all claims submitted by EU member states are grouped together (300 from the 28 member states put together in 2014). Only 11% of awards in favour of investors from the EU have been made public, corresponding to a total known amount of about €3.5 billion. European states altogether have been targeted in 46% of all cases (2013).
At the end of 2014, the number of intra-EU ISDS disputes amounted to 99, approximately 16% of all cases globally, half of which having been brought under the ECT.
Overall, the Czech Republic, Spain and Poland have been among the ten most frequent respondent states, while the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Switzerland have been among the ten most frequent home states of the investor.
The most well-known cases include:
• Yukos (Isle of Man) vs. Russia: US$50 billion awarded in 2014 to majority shareholders of the oil and gas company (ECT invoked).
• Eureko (Netherland) vs. Poland: case settled in 2005 for about €2 billion in favour of the investor, a large European insurance company (Netherland-Poland BIT invoked)
• Ceskoslovenska Obchodni Banka (Czech Republic) vs. Slovak Republic: €553 million awarded in 2004 to the investor, one of the largest commercial banks in the Czech Republic (Czech Republic-Slovak Republic BIT invoked)

To illuminate the issue, researchers at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center looked at survival for men initially diagnosed with metastatic cancer, hypothesizing that success in treating advanced cancer and improvements in mortality for metastatic disease could be driving observed changes in overall survival, independent of PSA testing. However, the researchers found that over the past 25 years mortality for men with advanced, metastatic prostate cancer has been mostly unchanged. Their study appears online in the journal Cancer.
While the PSA test has clearly improved early detection of prostate cancer, there's been concern that the diagnostic tool has a limited impact on mortality. The test measures blood levels of PSA, a protein produced by the prostate gland. The higher a man's PSA level, the more likely it is that he has prostate cancer. But the test does a poor job gauging the acuity of the disease, which has led to unnecessary therapies and associated side effects for men with slow-growing cancers. In 2012, the United States Preventative Services Task Force advised against routine PSA testing.
"Our research found that while the death rate from prostate cancer overall has declined, men whose cancer has spread beyond the prostate are still dying at the same rate as before," said urologic oncologist and senior study author Marc Dall'Era. "This finding suggests that routine PSA testing, which has dramatically reduced the incidence of metastatic disease, may be effective in reducing mortality from the disease, as well."
To test their hypothesis that improved treatment was responsible for the overall lower mortality rate, the team examined data from the California Cancer Registry. They looked at men 45 or older who first presented with metastatic prostate cancer between 1988 and 2009 and at overall survival for 19,336 men, stratifying the groups by time of diagnosis (including before and after PSA introduction), ethnicity, age, cancer grade and other factors.
The research corroborates previous studies that had shown a 65 percent reduction in those initially diagnosed with metastatic cancer since the PSA's introduction. This reduction resulted from men being diagnosed at earlier stages after PSA screening. However, the new study shows that for those who were diagnosed with metastatic prostate tumors, survival has not improved.
"The effect we're seeing on mortality in this group is more that we've shifted the stage of diagnosis much earlier," said Dall'Era. "In other words, because the PSA test detects cancer earlier, fewer men go on to be diagnosed with metastatic disease. However, there has been no survival improvement for men with metastatic disease to account for the overall mortality decline among all men with prostate cancer."
The research also demonstrates the urgent need to develop better treatments for men with metastatic prostate cancer, said Ralph de Vere White, director of the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center, and a study co-author.
"This is a landmark paper because it highlights, in an indisputable way, the problem we face," de Vere White said. "Though we can reduce prostate cancer mortality, we have failed to reduce mortality among those with metastatic disease – the advanced prostate cancer that ultimately kills these men."
Though the study did not find any survival gains for men with advanced cancer, there are nuggets of good news. For example, the survival disparity between African American and Caucasian men has declined over time. The research shows that both groups had similar survival rates following the PSA's introduction. In fact, the team found that socioeconomic status is much more significant than race in determining survival.
Ultimately, the study failed to identify a potentially significant contributor to the decline in prostate cancer mortality. The authors said additional research is needed to determine what is causing these gains, including a renewed focus on the PSA test's role in preventing mortality.
"The survival of men with metastatic prostate cancer has not changed dramatically," said Dall'Era. "At the same time, the number of men presenting with metastatic prostate cancer has dropped precipitously due to PSA screening. Does that mean PSA screening is causing that 40 percent decline in prostate cancer mortality? These data suggest that we should continue to evaluate the benefits of PSA screening before making sweeping policy recommendations against its use."
Other researchers on the study include Jennifer N. Wu, Kari M. Fish and Christopher P. Evans.
This research was funded by the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center Epidemiology Shared Resource.
UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only National Cancer Institute-designated center serving the Central Valley and inland Northern California, a region of more than 6 million people. Its specialists provide compassionate, comprehensive care for more than 10,000 adults and children every year, and access to more than 150 clinical trials at any given time. Its innovative research program engages more than 280 scientists at UC Davis, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Jackson Laboratory (JAX West), whose scientific partnerships advance discovery of new tools to diagnose and treat cancer. Through the Cancer Care Network, UC Davis collaborates with a number of hospitals and clinical centers throughout the Central Valley and Northern California regions to offer the latest cancer care.

A running discussion on the Cincinnati Reds and everything else in the baseball universe.

2009 Top Prospect List: #11 Daryl Thompson, rhp
Daryl Thompson
Height 6-0, Weight 180, B/T: R/R, DOB: 11/2/1985
2008 Redlegs Baseball Prospect Ranking: Other Notables
Daryl Thompson may well have had the best 2008 minor league season that no one heard about. I'm not sure why, but Thompson seemed to get very little publicity for his stellar performance. Regardless of the lack of ink, Thompson's performance certainly put him back on the Reds' radar.
Thompson spent time at four different minor league stops and got a cup of coffee in majors in 2008 and overall performed exceptionally well. Thompson tossed 4.0 uninspiring innings for the Gulf Coast League and 15.2 innings of disappointing baseball for high-A Sarasota before really taking off.
Thompson worked 61.1 dominant innings for double-A Chattanooga. He posted a 1.76 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 56/14 K/BB ratio. And, he really was about that good, as evidenced by his component stats, 2.56 FIP and .271 BABIP. It really was a stellar performance and it earned him another promotion.
At triple-A Louisville Thompson continued his stellar performance. He worked 45.2 innings posting a 2.76 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, and a 33/9 K/BB ratio. Again, his components were solid, as he posted a 3.76 FIP and .267 BABIP.
Overall, Thompson's 2008 season saw him post a 2.70 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, and a 99/30 K/BB ratio. His GB/FB ratio was only 1.01, so has only neutral tendencies. Even so, that level of performance makes him the front runner for minor league pitcher of the year in the Reds organization. Not surprisingly, Thompson did get in some time at the major league level.
Unfortunately, Thompson's MLB time did not go quite as smoothly. Thompson made three starts in late June and early July. His first start came against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium, which is a mighty tall order for a rookie. Even so, Thompson acquitted himself well, working 5.0 innings giving up 0 runs, 4 hits, 4 walks, and tallying 2 strikeouts. He also provided one of the more memorable moments in a lost season. In the 2nd inning, Thompson gave up a leadoff double to Alex Rodriguez. He followed up on that by giving up a single to Hideki Matsui, which advanced A-Rod to third. Thompson walked Jason Giambi to load up the bases with no outs.
Not an easy spot for a rookie making his MLB debut, but Thompson proved up to the challenge. He proceeded to strikeout Jorge Posada for the first out. He then got the ever-aggressive Robinson Cano to foul out on a popfly to Paul Bako for out number 2. Thompson then faced Melky Cabrera as the final obstacle to getting out of trouble. He blew an inside fastball by Melky for the strikeout to close out the inning. Thompson really rose to the occasion and demonstrated some true intestinal fortitude. When Thompson blew the final fastball past Melky Cabrera, Dusty Baker basically leapt off his seat in excitement. After working through the trouble, Thompson polished off a very strong MLB debut, throwing 96 pitches and giving up no runs to the Yankee juggernaught.
Unfortunately, Thompson's next two starts didn't go quite so well, as Thompson finished up with an MLB line of 6.91 ERA, 1.89, and a 6/7 K/BB ratio in 14.3 innings. His fastball averaged 91.8 mph and his changeup clocked in at 81.2 mph. During his stint in the majors, he relied mostly on the straight stuff, throwing 64.2% fastballs and 25.3% changeups. He used his slider only 6.0% of the time and his curveball 4.6% of the time.
Anyone who has seen Daryl Thompson pitch knows that his mechanics almost defy description, but I'll give it a workman like effort.
One of the first things that jump out at me about Thompson is "the crouch." In the first photo, you can see that he bends at the waist when driving off the rubber, which is just the first of many unusual aspects of his mechanics.
In these two photos, you can see Thompson on the left and Tim Lincecum on the right. Each is at a similar point in his delivery and the comparison I want to make is the position of the pitching hand. Thompson's hand is on top of the ball and he uses an unorthodox wrist cock, which is not the norm in pitching. On a positive note, during his time at the MLB level Thompson appeared to have reduced his wrist cock. As for Lincecum, his hand is on the side of the ball (but it almost appears to be under the ball) and he has no wrist cock. Lincecum's arm is basically a "L", while Thompson's arm looks like the Cincinnati Reds wishbone "C". On the plus side, you can see that both Lincecum and Thompson are keeping their elbows below shoulder level.
The next unusual aspect of Thompson's mechanics is the ball position. Most pitchers are taught to "show" the ball to second base, but the majority of MLB pitchers actually show the ball to third base. In the far left photo, you can see Greg Maddux "showing" the ball to third base. In the far right photo, you can see Lincecum "showing" the ball to second base. In the middle photo, you can see that Thompson is basically "showing" the ball to the ground, which is not recommended. Also, you can see that Maddux and Lincecum have their arms in a vertical position, while Thompson's arm is almost horizontal.
As for his arm action, you can see from the photo on the left that Thompson throws from a low three-quarter arm slot. Also, in the photo on the left, you can see that Thompson uses a fairly short stride. As a result of his shorter stride, Thompson's momentum carries his right leg well past his plant foot and he seems to basically walk towards homeplate on his follow-through. In the photo on the right, you can see that Thompson somewhat pulls his head towards first base during his delivery, which is due in part to his lower arm slot.
Obviously, Thompson has very unorthodox mechanics, but he certainly made them work in 2008. Even so, it's not difficult to see why he suffered a torn labrum earlier in his career, especially when you consider that he seems to be the epitome of a max effort pitcher. As of now, it's almost impossible to know what to make of him, both from a performance and injury risk point of view.
Thompson exploded back onto the scene in 2008. Given that he performed well on several different levels, his emergence is likely for real. Last year, Thompson missed out on the top 25 because I had concerns about his velocity. However, he dispelled those concerns quickly and ascended rapidly up the ladder. For 2009, Thompson will compete for the 5th spot in the MLB rotation. If he misses out, then he'll head back to triple-A Louisville despite not really needing any more development time. Thompson's ceiling seems to be that of a #4 starter, so for now he checks in at #11 on the list.

For those fortunate enough to have a plot of arable land, what can be more rewarding and satisfying than creating a vegetable garden? It may be just adequate enough to raise a few greens for a summer salad, or it may offer acreage sufficient to sow rows of corn or establish a raspberry patch. Gardener Galloway encourages even urban dwellers to consider raising their own fruits and vegetables. In this guide, she offers instructions on basic preparation of growing beds, including composting, an essential step for her preferred method of organic agriculture. For every potential garden product, Galloway describes its characteristics, preferred varieties, and best propagation methods from seed to harvest. She inventories commonly available greens, herbs, squashes, tubers, cabbages, and fruits. For each crop, she offers a recipe, virtually all vegetarian save for a classic grilled leg of lamb with fragrant rosemary. Color photographs accentuate the most appealing qualities of both produce and finished dishes.
Sustainable gardening and eating locally are popular now, and this is one of a number of new books for kitchen gardeners. Master gardener and radio commentator Galloway (former West Coast editor, Organic Gardening ) concentrates here on herbs, greens, legumes, squash, cabbage, roots, tubers and bulbs, warm-season vegetables, and fruits, giving hints on planning a garden, using good soil, planting, watering, fertilizing, weeding, and dealing with insects and diseases. Chapters describe individual crops and suggest the best way to plant, grow, harvest, store, and cook them. Galloway recommends particular varieties and notes botanical and family names, edible parts, and problems in growing. For each kind of produce, she also provides a recipe that is simple and easy to prepare. Some are unusual, such as Tartines with Gruyère and Radish Greens, Roasted Beets with Winter Citrus Vinaigrette, and Cucumber Wedges with Chile and Lime. Full-page color photographs accompany many of the recipes and produce descriptions. VERDICT This book is recommended for all readers interested in eating what they grow.
Library Journal
Galloway's enthusiasm and expertise inform every page of her first book. Don't be fooled by the elegant design; this isn't a book about landscaping with edibles. It's a down-to-earth look at how to organically and successfully grow your dinner. What makes this book stand out from the hundreds of other new vegetable-gardening books? It's Galloway's recommendations for varieties that thrive here, from blueberries to basil. And her eclectic recipes ensure that "Grow Cook Eat" won't languish on the book shelf. You'll have it out on the kitchen counter to try Shaved Summer Squash with Pecorino Romano, maybe with Raspberry-Infused Vodka Spritzers.

If there was a book that I could imagine that would teach me everything I needed to know to grow the edibles I had my heart set on from edamame and melons to garlic, tomatillos and tatsoi, this would be it… Willi Galloway presents a comprehensive, elegant manual to vegetable gardening that delivers just the right amount of guidance and hand-holding as you nurture your first strawberries or coax jalapeño peppers from flowers to fruit.

Over the years, I've bought more than my share of gardening books for inspiration and guidance. Most have been tossed aside for a more laissez-faire approach, because it all seemed so complicated and most were so boringly dull. That is, until I got the recently published book, Grow Cook Eat: A Food Lover's Guide to Vegetable Gardening, by Portlander Willi Galloway…
Grow Cook Eat is equally as valuable for gardeners with years of experience under their belt, as it is for the novice who's been wanting a vegetable garden but was too overwhelmed to start. It is easy to follow, inspiring, and a valuable resource for all.

Cynthia Lair, Cookus Interruptus
…a warm and inviting look at garden abundance that's helped me through yet another cold, dark, wet winter. Some people fantasize about tropical locales and swaying palm trees — I dream of warm soil and the sticky green smell of tomato plants; fresh fava beans and tender salads. This is one dog-gone gorgeous book! …Grow Cook Eat – and the photographs of Jim Henkens, are in another class altogether. Soft, friendly, close up shots put the reader right on their knees in the garden, in the kitchen or — best of all — at the table(!) with Willi as she instructs and inspires gardeners to grow their own groceries.
Planted at Home
I honestly didn't think there was too much more I needed to know about growing my own food. But I have been proven wrong. Former Organic Gardening magazine editor and creator of the popular blog "DigginFood", Willi Galloway, shares with us her time honored gardening techniques and ways to use every part of the plant, seed to root, in the kitchen… With this book by your side, very little of your harvest will end up in the compost pile.

New York, May 4, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists called on Morocco today to release editor Rachid Nini and sought the release of journalist Dorothy Parvaz as well as other journalists in Syria. Press freedom violations continued throughout the region, with abuses in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Yemen.
Nini, executive editor of Al-Massae and owner of Al-Massae Media Group, was placed in administrative detention on Thursday, the independent Moroccan daily reported. On Sunday, prosecutor Abdullah al-Balghaithi ordered him transferred to prison after charging him with "denigrating judicial rulings." He was initially arrested on suspicion of "compromising the security and safety of the homeland and citizens," the Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported. Nini is an outspoken critic of many government policies and has written about widespread corruption among government officials and called on numerous occasion, for the annulment of Morocco's anti-terrorism law and for increased political freedom. On Tuesday, a Casablanca court of first instance refused to release Nini on bail. He is currently being held at Okacha Prison, Al-Massae said.
Parvaz, who works for the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera's English-language service, arrived in Syria on Friday, but has not been heard from since, her fiancée, Todd Barker, told CPJ. Parvaz, who is an U.S., Canadian, and Iranian national is being held by one of Syria's myriad security services, CPJ research shows. Today Damascus finally acknowledged that it is holding Parvaz, after five days of incommunicado detention. Syrian authorities have detained dozens of local and international journalists in an effort to restrict reporting on the popular uprising which began on March 15; most have been released, although a handful of local journalists and one foreign journalist (aside from Parvaz) remain in custody.
"We ask that Morocco release Rachid Nini immediately on these bogus charges," said CPJ Middle East and North Africa Program Coordinator Mohamed Abdel Dayem. "Syria must set free Dorothy Parvaz, and all the other journalists it has detained. A revolving door detention policy will not stop journalists from reporting on the country's uprising."
In Bahrain, Al-Wasat's senior management decided on May 2 that it would stop publishing the country's premier daily after May 9, local reporters told CPJ. The newspaper has a long history of being targeted by the government for its reporting. The campaign against Al-Wasat reached its climax in April when the government suspended the newspaper, and accused it a few days later of "deliberate news fabrication and falsification." On April 12, Al-Wasat founder Karim Fakhrawi died under suspicious circumstances while in government custody. The official cause of death, kidney failure, is belied by widely circulated photographs published online which show a body identified as Fakhrawi's with extensive cuts and bruises. The government also announced that it will file criminal charges against three of the paper's senior editors, who resigned after coming under immense pressure to do so. The government also arbitrarily deported two other senior staffers in April. The trial of the three editors is slated to begin on May 18 in Bahrain's High Criminal Court.
On Friday, a Saudi Arabian royal decree amended the country's already repressive media law, making it even more restrictive. The amendments, which modify five separate articles of the media law, are designed to punish the publication (in print or online) of any materials that contravene Sharia law, impinge on state interests or promote foreign interests, harm public order or national security, or enable criminal activity, local media reported. Individuals who are first time violators would face fines of 500,000 Saudi riyals (US$135,000) while a second offense would garner a one million riyal (US$270,000) fine and a potential publishing ban. Media groups, if found to have intentionally violated the new rules, could be temporarily suspended or permanently shuttered, the decree reads. Accidental or unintentional violations would be rectified through written retractions, corrections, and apologies.
These amendments come on the heels of an earlier set of regulations that severely hamper electronic media, which were passed on January 1. CPJ protested those regulations when they were first announced in a letter to the kingdom's minister of culture and information. Unlike the January rules, Friday's decree includes a provision that establishes an investigative and an appeals commission, composed of "specialists in law and media" to adjudicate offenses and issue rulings, local media reported. The appeals commission's decisions are final and cannot be reviewed by any judicial body.
In late April, Oman's two main ISPs blocked domestic access to one of the most frequently visited sites in the country, the Internet-based forum and news website Al-Hara al-Omania, local and regional media reported. Prosecutors insist that the obstruction is not linked to the site's news coverage, but is rather the result of the operators' refusal to submit to the government data about some of its readers. In a statement, the site's administration, alongside close to one hundred writer and intellectuals, stated that it was not in possession of the requested information and that the measures taken by the government were unwarranted. Previously, the site covered the short-lived demonstrations that gripped Oman in late February and early March, but have since then been quelled.
On Saturday, Ali Ghamdan, a Yemeni journalist who works at Al-Jazeera's Qatar headquarters, was detained by an unidentified branch of the security services at the Sana'a airport as he was heading to Doha after a five-day vacation in Yemen, Al-Jazeera told CPJ. He was intensely questioned for five hours and had the contents of his luggage and computer meticulously inspected before being allowed to board a plane, CPJ research shows. Ghamdan's brief but arbitrary detention is the latest episode of a long string of retaliatory acts by the Yemeni government against Al-Jazeera, which included death threats, physical assaults, and the closure of the broadcaster's bureaus in the country. On Thursday, President Ali Abdullah Saleh told the Arabic-language branch of satellite television channel Russia Today that Al-Jazeera was conspiring against Yemen and using its broadcasts to topple his regime.

Connecting to the server
You must use a secure method of connection to access our server. Use the login and password provided in your welcome email.
One of the nicest, though not free, programs to connect is the SSH Tectia Client.
The free client is here, but it's only for non commercial use.
One other popular alternative is Putty.
To connect via SFTP, use a client such as Filezilla.
What else do you need to know?
LISHost is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server and uses mostly Red Hat standard directory structures.
The paths and directories that will most concern you can be found off of your home directory:
So, for example, if your username (aka login, aka account name) is blake, your home directory is:
This is not where your WEB accessible files are to be stored. Anything you need to show up on your web site goes into your "web root" directory:
So using the previous example as blake for a username,/home/blake/sites/example.com/html/
The two other paths of interest to most folks are the cgi-bin and the location of your apache log files:
How can I test my domain before I move it? You'll want to start by transfering all your files to you html directory.
Next you need to trick your computer into looking at the LISHost server.
If you run Windows XP:
> Close your web browser
> Open the file called HOSTS in the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc folder
> put these 2 lines in there
184.108.40.206 www.example.com
188.8.131.52 example.com
Don't forget to change that back before your move on.
If you run OSX it's a bit different. here are the mac steps:
1. edit /etc/hosts
you have to use "sudo" to do that and enter your admin password
% sudo vi /etc/hosts
add the two lines
184.108.40.206 www.example.com
18.104.22.168 example.com
2. find the id of the process "lookupd"
% ps auxwwww | grep lookupd
which should have an output something like this:
root 3028 0.0 0.2 29196 1200 ?? Ss 1:45PM 0:00.06 /usr/sbin/lookupd
where "3028" is the process id
3. send a "hangup" command to that process id using sudo
% sudo kill -HUP 3028
You're process ID will be different.
do the whole process in reverse to change back.
What can I find a particular program on the server?
The easiest thing to do is type "which" at the command line:
which perl
The server will tell you perl is located
If you're trying to find a program to get something done on the server, try the apropos command:
apropos search
will help you find programs to search.
Here are some commonly used programs on the server and their paths: php:/usr/bin/php
How can I use MySQL: MySQL and phpMyAdmin are both intstalled on LISHost.
phpMyAdmin can be found at:
Please contact us to have a MySQL Database and user created for your account, there is no charge.
What's the story with backups?
LISHost currently backs itself up to a second hard drive several times a week.
Mail is backed up twice daily.
MySQL is backed up twice weekly.
Your entire /home/ directory is backed up weekly.
Various other system and server files are backed up at other times.
Look in the /backup/ directory on the server for any backups you have access to.
Linux basics.
Command line Linux can be quite confusing and intimidating at first. With just a little practice you'll find yourself navigating like an old pro.
Sooner or later (probably sooner), when you start looking through directories, you're bound to ask, "Where the heck am I?" And you won't be speaking philosophically.
Check out the RedHat Getting Started Guide or contact us for help with Linux commands.

94 is a glitch Pokémon found only by using GameShark codes to encounter a "gentleman" Pokémon trainer in the wild and using the steal trainer Pokémon cheat before the battle shows the gentleman coming into view. It converts to Rhydon for the first time after catching it.
Pokédex screen
94's Pokédex screen has no information except weight and height (23' 0' ft and 880.6 lb)
Possible reason
It may be caused by the game trying to access the wild Pokémon data of the same hex as the gentleman trainer but since there is only trainer data the game loads some trainer data chunks which glitches when used as Pokémon data. The game sometimes succeeds in loading some Pokémon data as many times 94's name appears as the name of one of the Pokémon in that area (like Rattata in Route 1) yet it is still the same glitch.

Doctor says girl's age may help her recover from head injury
11-year-old fell off horse Sunday, hit head
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Three days after an 11-year-old girl fell off a horse and hit her head on the Westside, her future is still uncertain.
Natasha Holt, the daughter of Jacksonville city councilman Ray Holt, was injured while riding with her family and friends Sunday. She remains in the hospital with a head injury.
Doctors say if there is anything positive about all this, it's Natasha's age, because being so young may help her recover.
"Traumatic brain injuries are at the very least very dangerous," said Dr. Ravi Yarlagadda, a neurologist at St. Vincent's Medical Center.
He's not treating the girl but did give some insight into her kind of injury. He said it will be an uphill battle, and brain injuries are always so tough to treat. But the fact that she's young may be a positive thing.
"Age seems to be on her side, because the risk of long-term damage in terms of the immediate outcome standpoint seems to be always worse as we get older," Yarlagadda said.
According to police, Natasha fell off the horse and hit her head on a tree. People at the scene did CPR to revive her, and a helicopter flew her to the hospital.
Yarlagadda said that was a crucial time for the girl's survival, and the sooner patients like her get to the hospital, the better off they'll be.
If she does survive, she could still face a lifetime of problems, ranging from mental disabilities to physical weakness to chronic pain. But there is always hope she can make a full recovery.
Many doctors say the first few days will tell a lot about the girl's future. Yarlagadda said that's true, but even then, head injuries are always changing and unpredictable.
"It keeps changing from minute to minute, hour to hour, day to day, and there's no way to predict because of that what could be an outcome, even within those 72 hours," he said.
Natasha remains at Wolfson Children's Hospital in critical condition. Her family and friends say there are a lot of people supporting her and praying she makes a full recovery.
"Tasha is hanging in there," Nanette Holt, Natasha's mother, said in a statement. "The family appreciates all the outpouring of love and concern. What we need is continued prayer. There is still some uncertainty but there is much hope."
