Green Ginger Asian Fusion
- 50% off
- Only on the App
- Decatur
- Asian Fusion
Between the signature Thai dishes and the Japanese sushi bar, Green Ginger has quite a few different tricks up its apron. The only problem we have? Picking just one dish (okay, three) to chow down on.Pardon us, but would you like a side of sultry mood lighting with those basil rolls? (The answer, in case you're wondering, is always yes.) The lounge-y Asian restaurant that set up shop in the former Amaryn Thai space in Decatur is concocting creative sushi rolls and pan-Asian classics in a sleek little spot that the owners spent months reconfiguring for an updated look. With cobalt pendant lights hanging from the bar, dark wooden booths sleek enough to host a miniature figure-skating match, and a laid-back lounge vibe on the weekends, Green Ginger is upping the ante on fast-casual sushi joints.
It's not just the decor that raises the bar, either. Green Ginger's sushi chefs don't want to serve customers the average sushi roll. So instead, they're coming up with their own creative "new generation" rolls, like the Love Story. We won't spoil the fun, but we'll just say that a sushi roll doesn't always have to be, well, rolled up. For those who'd rather enjoy a big, warm bowl of something hearty, Green Ginger serves an assortment of appetizers, noodle bowls, and good ol' familiar classics from Thai, Chinese, and Japanese cookbooks. Nothing keeps my belly happy like a seemingly neverending bowl of massaman curry, but Green Ginger also offers custom noodle bowls for the creative chef slash control freak (pick your broth, your noodle, your veggies, and an extra or two). So yes, between the signature Thai dishes and the Japanese sushi bar, Green Ginger has quite a few different tricks up its apron. The only problem we have? Picking just one dish (okay, three) to chow down on.

Frankie D. Heyward, a Neuroscience PhD Candidate in Dr. David Sweatt's research laboratory and a NORC Pre-doctoral Fellow, attended the NIDDK's Network of Minority Health Research Investigators (NMRI) 11th Annual Workshop. This 2-day event was held in Bethesda, Maryland on April 18th-19th. In short, the primary function of the NMRI is to encourage research scientists from underrepresented communities to conduct biomedical research in the fields of diabetes, endocrinology, metabolism, digestive diseases, nutrition, kidney, urologic and hematologic diseases. For more information regarding the NMRI see the following link: http://nmri.niddk.nih.gov/
Though not yet qualified to be a member of the NMRI, as he has not yet obtained his PhD, Frankie Heyward was welcomed to attend the NMRI workshop as a guest. According to Frankie, "attending the event was a phenomenal opportunity to meet, and build relationships with, many brilliant minds, all at different stages of their scientific careers. During the workshop I had the pleasure of hearing talks that were challenging, edifying, and inspiring. The topics discussed ran the gamut: career development; the NIH grant review process, tips for transitioning to leadership/ administrative positions in academia, strategies for conflict resolution, how to write a stellar research publication, etc. The wisdom imparted to me will certainly inform my decision making as I advance my research career."
During the workshop Frankie participated in the 'Marco Cabrera Poster Session' where he presented his research on the molecular basis of obesity-induced memory impairment in mice. For his outstanding research presentation, the NMRI honored Frankie with an "Excellence in Research" award.
When asked if he would attend the workshop in the future, Frankie replied "I received a very warm reception at this workshop, and I enjoyed myself immensely—I certainly look forward to attending the workshop in the future as a member of the NMRI." Frankie closed by saying "the NMRI is a tremendous resource, and I encourage interested persons to get involved with this exceptional cadre of biomedical researchers."

Brockdale Bridge
You tell me to use Canon...so I am...
The Brockdale Bridge according to line 5 of page 2 of chapter 1 of the book The Half Blood Prince (thus HIGHER CANON than the movie, according to YOUR EXAMPLE number 3 mentioned under the Canon policy) states that when the Brockdale Bridge collapsed, dozens of CARS fell into the river. It does not mention what type of cars, either automobile cars or several of the individual train "cars" (like Box Cars), but I assume automobile, as train cars are not usually considered "cars" in British English, only in American English.
However...The Millennium Bridge, is a PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE only. The official name of the Millennium Bridge is in fact, THE LONDON MILLENNIUM FOOTBRIDGE. Thus IN NO WAY WHAT SO EVER could "dozens of cars" have fallen into the river bellow.
THUS ACCORDING TO CANON...THE BROCKDALE BRIDGE IS NOT THE MILLENNIUM BRIDGE. AND THUS ANY CORRELATION MADE BY DAVID YATES DOES NOT APPLY. Thus (even after the movie) we DO NOT KNOW if the bridge was in London, NOR if it even spanned the Thames. Thus I was trying to state this, that there is NO PROVEN CORRELATION between the two bridges, and that the website must be changed which states in the affirmative that it IS in the EXACT spot that the current Millennium Bridge stands. WE DO NOT KNOW THIS EITHER THROUGH JKR, THROUGH THE BOOKS, or even THROUGH THE MOVIE. WE ONLY KNOW THAT IN THE BOOKS, IT WAS A BRIDGE. WE ALSO KNOW THAT IN THE MOVIE, DAVID YATES and the SPECIAL EFFECTS crew choose to destroy the Millennium Bridge as it would have the HIGHEST VISUALLY DRAMATIC destruction than of ANY BRIDGE IN THE WHOLE UNITED KINGDOM, since it is KNOWN WORLD WIDE, and is also ABOUT 10 YEARS OLD (the only actual similarity to the book). And this is what I wrote. But no, you think you are ALL KNOWING, because you are the moderator of some stupid website. I came across your website and saw the discrepancies and thought that I would help (that what a wiki site is, the most accurate information IMPROVABLE by all who read it), but you would prefer to have FALSE information on your supposedly "accurate" website. If I were the owners of wikipedia I would actually sue you for not actually allowing what it is you are claiming to be.
SO GOOD LUCK trying to make your website a reputable Harry Potter encyclopedia, when you purposefully pass FALSE INFORMATION on to your readers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
Re: Brockdale Bridge
Ok, I updated it again using YOUR logic, that the picture does in fact prove that the "Brockdale Bridge" of the movie is not one in the same as the "Brockdale Bridge" of the book. DO NOT DELETE MY EDITS AGAIN!! This is just plain harassment, and I DO NOT see how any sane person could have promoted you to Administrator of this site if you do change it. I HAVE FOLLOWED EVERY RULE OF THIS SITE TO TRY AND CORRECT THE PROBLEMS LISTED ON THE BROCKDALE BRIDGE PAGE, I used higher canon (THE BOOK ITSELF, I EVEN QUOTED IT), and yet you still think that since you have over 7,000 postings and that you are an Administrator that you think that there is NO WAY THAT THE FREAKING MOVIE COULD POSSIBLY BE WRONG!! WELL IT IS!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs).
Re: Brockdale Bridge
If you are not trying to "insert false information on articles" as you put it, then why change what I write.
"3. In the Goblet of Fire film, Krum attacks Fleur in the Maze during the Triwizard Tournament. Is this considered canon? No, because the books, a higher source of canon, specifically states that Crouch/Moody did it. However, it should be noted in the Behind the scenes section."
This is from the official policy on canon. It states that the Books have the higher canon over the movie, and any discrepancies should be noted in the "Behind the scenes section." So that is what I did, I stated what the book states, and then showed the discrepancies from the movie. You state that the book left many things out and the movie filled in the gaps, but as I have proven several times over (yet you keep deleting it) is that the bridge used in the film directly contradicts the book's description of the book. If the bridge then from the movie is describing one bridge, yet the book describes a whole other bridge, then the movie MUST be wrong according to the canon policy. Thus any inferences from the movie about the bridge are therefore wrong. You can not infer that the Brockdale bridge from the book is in London because the movie destroys a bridge in London.
I will now prove my point...(SO DO BE SURE TO READ THIS PORTION FULLY, DO NOT SKIM)..The movie destroys (use simple high school math) a 13 ft wide bridge. This can be proven to be 13 ft wide by taking the measurement of the width of the bridge, now compare that measurement to the distance away from the St. Paul's cathedral (which you yourself said is the st. paul's cathedral. Now compare these two measurements via a ratio of the ACTUAL measurements, and tada the bridge in the movie is 13 ft wide. Now the book specifically states that Cars fell from the bridge when the death eaters destroyed it. ALSO from the movie, we can see that the SOUTH end of the bridge splits in two making the walkways even narrower, thus there are portions of the bridge that are even less than 13 ft across. Now...just talking theoreticals now, what is THE SMALLEST car you can think of, you are probably thinking a MiniCooper. Well, Minis, measure 6 ft wide, thus even if it were a road bridge, with the smallest car in existence, there will be only 1 ft of clearance between the bridge and car one, car one and car two (going the opposite direction), and car two and the bridge, thus dividing equally by 3, there is only 4 inches of clearance on either side of the vehicle. Now for building regulations of 1985 (when the Brockdale bridge was supposed to have been built) a road bridge of this length would be required to be at least twice as wide as the one depicted in the movie, yet again proving that the bridge from the movie is a pedestrian bridge, contradicting the book.
Also, using your own statements and logic. The building in the back of the picture of the "brockdale bridge" from the movie IS St. Paul's Cathedral. How do we know this? Never was St. Paul's ever mentioned in ANY of the books. You mentioned the Tower Bridge, how do we know it is the Tower Bridge? It was never mentioned in ANY of the books. Obviously you are using ACTUAL, real life, London landmarks for your determinations. Well, now I get to use an actual London landmark for mine...since the bridge depicted in the movie is a pedestrian bridge, yet the bridge in the book is a road bridge, then I know that the movie IS NOT depicting Brockdale Bridge, thus it MUST be depicting MIllennium Bridge. Since the movie is depicting the Millennium Bridge I know that the movie is set in a year after 2000 (and in fact, you can see a small portion of 30 St Mary Axe (The Gherkin/the bullet looking building) in the movie as well, which was completed in December 2003 (it had no cranes in the vicinity of the building, thus it must have been completed, and not still under construction (which started in 2001)) , which narrows it even more to at the earliest about 2004), and that, then, the skyline, the river, and all the landmarks used in the film IN NO WAY tell me where the Brockdale Bridge is, how long it is, how big it is, what it is made of (other than rusting metal as determined from page 12 line 14 of HBP book), if it is in the middle of a city or on the outskirts. Using ALL canon of official Harry Potter depictions, I KNOW that the Brockdale bridge IS a bridge, and spanned a river. I also know that it DID NOT span the exact spot that the millennium bridge spans today, because the movie takes place "today" not in 1996 as it should, (I can also prove this using automobiles in the background from earlier films either when they fled the train station heading for Ron's flying car, or when they crossed the street heading for the Sirius' house, how could they be in 1991-1996 in the various movies, yet have cars that were created in the late 1990s and early 2000s). Thus the timelines FROM THE MOVIES are "present" not 13 years in the past as they should compared to the books.
Now how much more proof do I need to show you for you to allow me to change "The Brockdale Bridge was a bridge located in London. It crossed the River Thames; it stood where the Millennium Bridge stands today." to "The Brockdale Bridge was a bridge spanning an unknown river." Since that is the truth. What is currently stated on the page is fanon from some fan claiming that what they see is London, when we have no proof of that, since the books never mentioned St. Pauls or Tower Bridge, so for all we know, we could be in Little Whinging, or near Devon, or any of the many other places already visted in the previous 5 books. Thus the canon is that Brockdale Bridge is over an unknown river, the fanon is that it is in the exact place the Millennium Bridge stands today, was built to look exactly as the Millennium Bridge looks, and thus spans the Thames and is thus in London. EVEN FROM THE MOVIES we DO NOT know this!! So stop changing my posts when you know that I am right. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 220.127.116.11 (talk • contribs).
Re: Brockdale Bridge
Ok, I changed it again...if you don't like the way I worded the "Behind The Scenes" then you can change the wording, I only put those there to prove my point to you, but now I have done it even more, so again, if you don't like the way in which I tried to prove my point in the "Behind the Scenes" then change it, but the facts about the bridge at the top are correct!! So please, don't just completely revert the page, just change the "Behind the Scenes"!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs).
- This guy is right. That's clearly the Milennium Bridge, and the Milennium appears in the film and video game, not the Brockdale. If there's a historic landmark that's not clearly named to be something else in the film, then its the real-life landmark. 184.108.40.206 14:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
- There is no way of proving that it is or is not the Brockdale Bridge, but since it is clearly the Milennium Bridge, and that it has notable differences expressed above from the Brockdale Bridge, it is not the Brockdale Bridge!!!

Thanks for clearing up my confusion about the illustration of Morfin Gaunt.

- File:WizardsPepperupPotion.jpg — I found another version of this portrait in which the text is clearer. The text on the right looks like "Mirabile Vita" or "Mirabile Viva," both of which mean "wonderful life" in Latin, I believe. As for the text on the left, I also have trouble making it out, but the first part looks like it might be "Emma" or "Erma," and second part looks like it begins with "Sol-" or "Sak-" and ends with "-berg" or "-bury". I also think the character is a witch, rather than a wizard, given that the veil she's wearing.
- File:Ambone.jpg — I think you're right about the first name, although "Ambrose" is also a possibility. Unfortunately, I can't make out the last name, but the first initial is "M." ★ Starstuff (Owl me!) 01:00, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Incorrectly identified Death Eaters
I brought this issue up with Matoro and he suggested I take this up with someone who took part in the original discussion. it appears that the Death Eaters who took part in the Battle of the Department of Mysteries have been incorrectly identified. The man who appears in Antonin Dolohov's article was played by Richard Trinder, wheras Dolohov was played by Richard Cubison. And the man who appears in Rabastan Lestrange's article is actually Travers as played by Tav MacDougall. I wasn't really sure what to do about this, perhaps you know?

I'm sorry, but I have more questions: Lord Valensus and I are the same person. So, how to make that user page of Lord Valensus became my userpage? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lord Valentinijan (talk • contribs).
Under picture of Alexia is written "Alexia", then her dates, then the first name of her husband, and his surname "Walkin". I think that her full name was "Alexia Walkin nee Black". She was maybe an aunt of Cygnus and Arcturus I (my theory is that they wrere brothers). Look this, please: File:Blackfamilytreeootp1.jpg You can see Alexia Walkin and that under her picture is written many words, not just Alexia Walkin. Please, notice this.

Description on Professor Walter Aragon
You wrote in the article, "The portaits reveal this individual is a "Professor", but it is not known if he ever taught at a wizarding school, like Hogwarts School."
In my point of view, we must not wrote it that way because it is understandable and probably can understood by other readers that He is a Professor in Hogwarts since his portraits were hang inside the school. I think what i wrote in my previous edit is presumably correct. Just my opinion. --ÈnŔîčö DC(Send me an Owl!) 04:23, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton expects to be sidelined for about a month because of a strained right hamstring.
Stanton underwent an MRI exam Tuesday and said the diagnosis was a grade-two strain on the one-to-three scale for the injury. He was hurt trying to beat out a grounder in Monday's 15-inning victory over the New York Mets, and was placed on the 15-day disabled list.
The injury occurred just as last year's NL slugging leader showed signs of emerging from a prolonged slump to start the season. He hit his first home run Saturday and two more Sunday.
"Awesome timing," Stanton said facetiously. "It's a tough break. Pretty frustrating. It's just one of those freak things. There's never a good time, but this was probably one of the worst times to do it."
Last year Stanton hit 37 home runs despite missing 39 games because of injuries. Now the Marlins, already saddled with the worst record in the majors, will be without their best hitter for several weeks.
"If we could just erase all of April, that would be lovely," Stanton said.
He'll be replaced in right field by 22-year-old Marcell Ozuna, who was recalled from Double-A Jacksonville to make his major-league debut.
"When I received the call, I felt very excited," Ozuna said. "I didn't sleep last night."
With Stanton due to become eligible for arbitration after the season, there's already speculation the thrifty Marlins will trade him, and Ozuna would be the leading replacement candidate.
The Dominican was hitting .333 with five homers and 15 RBIs in 10 games with Jacksonville. He's a career .274 hitter in the minors who hit at least 22 home runs each of the past three seasons.

A Chill Blows Through the Room
Listen to Audio (right click to save)
One of the amazing frustrations about families is that you just can't get everybody to agree on a comfortable temperature. Sometimes you can't even get a husband and wife to agree on it. One likes the room cozy and warm; the other likes it cool and refreshing, shall we say. It's hard even be in agreement on what is hot and what is cold.
Now, actually, when we were driving along with our family on a freezing winter day, and we'd gotten it nice and warm, we could get four out of five members of our family to agree that we were at a comfortable temperature. But then, suddenly we were all aware of this cold air blowing through the car because there was one member of our family, who shall remain nameless, who always wanted some fresh air; who said, "It's hot and stifling!" And you could hear almost in unison four voices turn to this one person and say, "Who opened the window!" Well, one person does have the ability to send a chill through any group.

text: Best known for their hit single "Earth Angel," the doo wop quartet the Penguins were never able to replicate the success of their only Top 40 hit, but the song nevertheless became a rock & roll classic. The Penguins formed in 1954, when the group's members -- Cleveland Duncan (lead tenor vocal), Curtis Williams (bass-baritone vocal), Dexter Tisby (tenor vocal), and Bruce Tate (baritone vocal) -- were all attending Fremont High School in Los Angeles, CA. Although he wasn't the lead singer, Williams was the leader of the group. He learned "Earth Angel" from vocalist Jesse Belvin -- some sources claim that Williams wrote the song alone, others say he co-wrote the song with Belvin, while others claim Gaynell Hodge, a member of the doo wop group the Turks, wrote the song with the duo (in fact, Hodge won a lawsuit filed in 1956 that gave him a co-writing credit) -- and had the Penguins sing the song. Around 1954, the Penguins signed with the local Los Angeles independent label Dootone Records. The group's first single was going to be the uptempo "Hey Sinorita," and the ballad "Earth Angel" was going to be the B-side. Upon the release of the single in the latter half of 1954, Los Angeles radio stations were receiving more requests for "Earth Angel" than "Hey Sinorita," and the song soon became the record's A-side. By the beginning of 1955, the single had scaled the national charts, spending three weeks at the top of the R&B charts and peaking at number eight on the pop charts. For the next few years, the Penguins continued to record singles for Dootone Records. Shortly after the success of "Earth Angel," Tate left the group and Randolph Jones became their baritone vocalist. Around 1956, the Penguins left Dootone Records and signed with Mercury Records. After cutting some sides for Mercury, the group moved to Atlantic Records, where they had their second and final hit, "Pledge of Love," which climbed to number 15 on the R&B charts in the summer of 1957. That same year, the group released its only album, The Cool, Cool Penguins. By 1959, the Penguins had returned to their hometown of Los Angeles; shortly after their relocation, they broke up. Over the next four decades, Cleveland Duncan led various incarnations of the Penguins through reunion tours and re-recordings of their hits. In 1963, Duncan, Tisby, and two new members recorded "Memories of El Monte," a song future Mothers of Invention members Frank Zappa and Ray Collins wrote specifically for the group; the single failed to make any impact. Duncan went back to leading new incarnations of the Penguins, while Tisby briefly joined the Coasters. Tisby subsequently retired from music and the other three members of the Penguins have since died, Tate in 1973, Williams in 1979, and Duncan in 2012. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy cervical cancer cells. The drugs enter the bloodstream and travel through the body to the cancer cells. Chemotherapy may be used:
- Before surgery—to shrink the tumor and decrease the amount of tissue that needs to be removed
- In combination with radiation therapy to decrease tumor size
- To help relieve symptoms of metastatic cancer and extend survival time
Chemotherapy Drugs and Delivery
There are a variety of chemotherapy drugs. The choice and combination of drugs will be based on your particular cancer and reaction to drugs. Chemotherapy drugs for cervical cancer may include:
- Cisplatin
- Carboplatin
- Taxol
- Paclitaxel
- Fluorouracil (5-FU)
- Bevacizumab
Chemotherapy for cervical cancer is most often given through an IV, though some forms can be given by mouth. It is delivered in cycles over a set period of time. A medical oncologist will determine how many cycles of chemotherapy are needed and what combination of drugs will work best. Generally, there are 4-6 cycles when chemotherapy is used alone and up to 10 cycles when combined with radiation therapy.
Side Effects and Management
Though the drugs are targeted to cancer cells, they can affect healthy cells as well. The death of cancer cells and impact on healthy cells can cause a range of side effects. A medical oncologist will work to find the best drug combination and dosage to have the most impact on the cancer cells and minimal side effects on healthy tissue. Side effects or complications from chemotherapy may include:
- Menstrual changes
- Premature menopause , which can be temporary or permanent
- Increased frequency and urgency of bowel and bladder function
- Numbness, pain, or burning sensation in the the hands and feet— peripheral neuropathy
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fatigue due to anemia
- Confusion, forgetfulness
A variety of treatments are available to help manage side effects including medication, lifestyle changes, and alternative treatments. In some cases, the chemotherapy regimen may be adjusted to reduce severe side effects. The earlier the side effects are addressed, the more likely they will be controlled with a minimum of discomfort.
Long-term side effects may also occur. The chemotherapy drug adriamycin has been associated with damage to the heart muscle. Rarely, leukemia may also result from treatment with chemotherapy drugs. Share any concerns about the long-term effects of chemotherapy with your doctor.

Lindsay Lohan is not seeking a restraining order against her father, a lawyer for the actress told Access Hollywood.
Lindsay's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, told Access on Monday that reports the star is filing a cease and desist letter or a restraining order against her dad, Michael Lohan, are "not true."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan - From Teen Queen To 'Mean Girl'
"Lindsay has never contacted her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley about filing a restraining order against her father," the lawyer said in a statement.
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, on Friday, Lindsay hit her Twitter account to share her feelings over her father, who has been speaking out in the press, including making allegations his daughter has a problem with prescription pill use to Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Mug Shot Mania
"My father is a lunatic&doesn't even deserve such a title since he's never been around in my life other than when he'd threaten me&my family," she wrote on Friday.
Lindsay added that Michael's recent actions have made her younger sister, Ali, 15, cry.
"He should be where he has always put himself after verbally abusing and physically abusing people all my life-behind bars. Its so sad to get a phone call from my baby sister just now asking, 'why is daddy doing this?' Through tears," she wrote.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood Redheads
"He's crossed the lines&hurt me&my family 4 the last time… So much for having a 'dad'….. I'm going to spend some time with the ones that love me&i love now," she added.
But while Lindsay does not have and is not currently planning to seek a restraining order against her dad, Dina Lohan, Lindsay's mom, told Billy Bush for Access Hollywood and "The Billy Bush Show," on Monday that Ali is going to seek one today against her father.
In addition, Dina told Billy that Michael may be about to release recordings he told Access Hollywood about last week against her wishes and those of their daughter, Lindsay.
Lindsay is heard hysterically crying out for help in the recordings, which Access Hollywood has heard. Dina can also be heard on the tapes expressing her concern that she doesn't want Lindsay to go down a path similar to Heath Ledger.

Release: Steem Boiler 3.8.1
Configuration doesn't seem to matter. Even a clean new install gives me this, even before opening the main windows :
The other issue is with the boiler. Don't know if it's exactly a bug, but Log->Video doesn't log writes to the SYNC and REZ registers, opening borders, etc, as at least classic Steem used to. Or this is by design for some reason?
The log has been neglected in the SSE version. For example, border effects are
not logged. It is recommended to suspend logging (I wonder what machine the
Steem authors had!), or to carefully select your options.
However an alternative 'Trace' system is used in the SSE version.
You can command the output by selecting log options.
This parallel system was developed because I'm more familiar with it and
I wanted it to work in the 'non-boiler', debug build of Visual C++, in
the IDE output window or a file at choice.
Each time you stop the boiler, the traces are available in the file
'Suspend logging' won't suspend the traces. This is commanded by option
'Output TRACE to file'.
For some aspects, it's not as detailed as Steem's original log.

This is an excellent version of Steem with cool STE compatibility.

I recently visited Indore, the commercial capital of the state of Madhya Pradesh. Indore is possibly the food capital too. Of all the highlights of the visit, eating blurs out all other memories! Indians are overly fond of snacks and sweets and at Indore more so.
I had taken the Duronto Express train from Mumbai to Indore. The cheerful looking colorful train set the mood for a fun visit and I was not disappointed. I reached Indore at about 11 a.m and was welcomed by family with steaming chai,warm jalebis and 'Alu Kachoris' and Poha. After this heavy meal, I was surprisingly hungry in about a couple of hours again and ready to eat!
I am told the 'Indore ki hawa' or atmosphere at Indore is naturally stimulating to eat more and food gets digested faster! Well, I don't think I disagree as I almost always had room for more for each of the meals and the variety of food I had.
One of the highlights and must-do's of Indore is a visit to Sarafa. Sarafa is an area in the old town on Indore near the Rajwada or palace of the Holkars. Originally a market of jewelers, Sarafa is now known as the foodie bazaar. Late in the evening at 9 p.m when businesses start closing down, jewelers down their shutters, Sarafa starts getting festive. Smells of gulab jamun, and hot frying oil start wafting and appetites are aroused. Traditional 'Chaat' houses open and sweet sellers sit with their huge assortments of freshly made gulab jamuns, rabdi, kalakand and malpuas. One can see people gorging on 'Kachoris', 'Samosas' and 'Tikkis'. Along side the traditional chaat places, a slew of cuisines have set up shop in the form of Indo chinese stalls, Sandwiches and Pizza stalls.
For the uninitiated, NRIs or foreigners, it is hard to actually explain what 'Chaat' is. Well, Chaat is a variety of food that encompasses a range of savories that are usually sold at roadside stalls. Most savories also have a motley of ingredients in them with a variety of spicy sauces. Some popular 'Chaat' varieties in Indore are –
- 'Samosa' chaat – Samosas are dough stuffed with a spicy potato filling in triangular shapes and fried. Accompanied by a chick pea gravy, onions, coriander and tomatoes, makes it a 'chaat'!
- Dahi vadas – Vadas are fried savories that can be made of many varieties of flours. Fried and then dunked into yoghurt sprinkled with chilli 'chutney' and tamarind chutney makes for delicious dahi vadas
- Pani puri – Known by various names in different parts of the country, Pani puri is one of the most popular dishes found at the roadside stall. Thin hollow dough crispies are stuffed slightly with a potato or boiled chick pea filling and dunked in sweet and sour spicy water, one at a time. Each individual stuffed puri is eaten whole at a time.
- Alu Tikkis – Potatoes are a favorite ingredient for all chats. Mashed potatoes roled into balls or chopped potatoes, are deepfried, sprinkled with spices and served hot.
- Papdi chaat – Dough crispies, this time flat, are know as papdi or puri again. Loaded with potatoes, onions, puffed rice and some sauces and 'sev' make for a papdi chat.
- Kachori -Kachoris are round dough balls stuffed with 'masalas' and some base ingredient of mashed peas or lentils or potatoes. Kachoris can be eaten dry or with the usual chat accompaniments of onions, tomatoes, coriander, 'sev' and chutneys.
Well, chaat is ubiquitous in all of India, but Indore certainly had a fabulous ambiance that made us want bite into sweet and spicy savories.
Apart from the chat and the roadside stalls, Indore is also very famous for its 'Namkeen'. Namkeen is a term given to long lasting savories made of flour and subtly flavored with cloves, garlic and several spices.
Even more tantalizing at Sarafa were the sweets that were sold openly. Mostly made in pure 'desi' ghee, even looking at them was a feast to the eyes. You can get notably jalebis, imartis, gulab jamuns, malpuas, rabdi, kulfi, kalakand, and cold or hot drinks made of milk. A unique drink was known as 'Shikanji' which was a veritable mix of all the goodness in milky form there can be! Shikanji is made of evaporated milk, rabdi, shrikhand, and dry fruits making it very delicious. With the advent of winter, a host of other goodies such as mattar or pea kachoris, 'gajaks' and hot milk products are also available and must-eats!
Apart from Sarafa, another popular hang out for youngsters in Indore is 'Chappan Bazaar' which originally consisted of chappan or fifty six shops. Although the variety of food was similar to that of Sarafa, the feel of the place was new and less charming as compared to Sarafa.
One would think we would end up with upset stomachs at the end of all that feasting, but thankfully, we all returned well satiated. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I soon have a chance to go back again just for those steaming hot kachoris and melting-in-the-mouth malpuas.
If you were to visit Indore, some suggested places and food are –
At Sarafa –
- Alu Patis at Vijay Chat
- Dal Kachori near Vijay Chat
- Rabdi at Bhairavnath
- Jalebi and Malpua near the end of Sarafa near Bhairavnath
Some non Sarafa and Chappan Bazaar places are
- Aspee on Racecourse road for 'Mirchina' a local drink not unlike a spiced up Coke but milder and Icecream Soda
- Hira Lassi – near Shri Krishna Talkies
- Ravi's Aloo Kachori – Anand Bazaar
- Damu Anna's Kachori at Sikh Muhalla
My advice if you are planning a trip to Indore is to be that glutton you always wanted to be and have a feast!

UK manufacturing has received a huge boost with news that trains for the Crossrail scheme will be built in the Midlands.
A £1 billion contract will see Bombardier of Canada building 65 trains for London's Crossrail project at its plant in Derby, safeguarding hundreds of jobs.
Prime Minister David Cameron said the announcement was "great news for Bombardier and Derby" while Business Secretary Vince Cable said it was "a real vote of confidence in British manufacturing".
Three years ago Bombardier lost out to Siemens of Germany on a £1.6 billion contract for trains for the Thameslink project.
The Siemens victory came amid much controversy and the German company had also been in the running for the Crossrail contract but dropped out last year, leaving Bombardier to face Japanese firm Hitachi and CAF of Spain.
The deal, announced by the Department for Transport and Transport for London, will support 760 UK manufacturing jobs and 80 apprenticeships.
It also involves the construction of a maintenance depot at Old Oak Common in north-west London which will create 244 jobs and 16 apprenticeships. When fully operational it will support 80 jobs to maintain the new fleet of trains..
Each Crossrail train will be 200 metres long and able to carry up to 1,500 passengers. Key features include air conditioning and inter-connecting walk-through carriages. On-train passenger information systems will deliver real-time travel information to allow passengers to plan their onward journeys.
First mooted in the 1990s but then scrapped on cost grounds, only to be revived in the last decade, Crossrail will boost London's rail capacity by 10%
It will run from as far west as Maidenhead in Berkshire, connecting Heathrow, and Abbey Wood in south London, and going as far east as Shenfield in Essex.
At peak times, there will be up to 24 trains an hour between Paddington in west London and Whitechapel in the City of London.
TfL will introduce the new trains from May 2017, with the fleet progressively introduced to the existing rail network well in advance of services commencing through Crossrail's central section in December 2018.
Bombardier managing director Francis Paonessa said t he company had spent £20 million developing the Aventra train which will be built for the Crossrail route and which will be painted purple and black.
He went on: "We are absolutely delighted with the news, which is a real endorsement of the hard work the team has put in. We have been working on the design for the past year.
"The train has wider gangways, is much lighter and more energy efficient."
London mayor Boris Johnson said the trains would "revolutionise rail travel in London, and deliver jobs and economic growth in their birthplace in Derby and across the UK".
Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin said the contract was "great news for British manufacturing and for Derbyshire" while Bob Crow, leader of the RMT union, said it was " a fantastic and deserved result" for Bombardier.
Julia Long, national officer for the Unite union said: "This is great news for the workforce at Bombardier and for Derby, after the disastrous handling of the Thameslink contract."
Shadow transport secretary Mary Creagh said: "Following the Thameslink train fiasco which led to a £1.6 billion contract leaving the UK and putting thousands of jobs at risk, Labour called on the Government to award future contracts to companies who would build trains in the UK.
"Labour wants to see trains built in Britain. Today's decision will safeguard the future of the Bombardier factory at Derby and support British jobs and apprenticeships."
Workers at Bombardier described their relief at hearing the announcement this morning.
Mark Fletcher, 41, a planning specialist who has worked at Bombardier for 15 years, said it was fantastic news and "testament" to the hard work people had put in.
Times had been hard since Bombardier lost out on the Thameslink contract, but staff got on with the job, he said.
"After the previous announcement I think people dusted themselves down really, really well.
"I think it shows what we've achieved over the last two years since that announcement, we've really progressed. We're probably the most efficient Bombardier site in Europe by far so it's testament to what people have done here - d usted themselves down, got on with the work and hard work repays, and that's what's happened today with the announcement with Crossrail."
He added: "Bearing in mind we're the last UK-based train manufacturer, 125 years coming up, so it's a big, big announcement; a very, very good year to do it in."
Rick Betteridge, a 55-year-old team leader, said he had worked for the rail manufacturer for more than 30 years in two spells - the first for 21 years and the second for 12.
Describing how people felt learning about the Crosslink contract, he said: "Obviously very happy. It secures not just my future but a lot of the guys who work here. So it's really good news."
Everybody was "buoyed" by the announcement, he said, and added that the future looked bright.
"I think the mood of the company will be so much happier, people will be looking towards the future."
Production manager Nerdeep Mann, 42, who is in his seventh year with Bombardier, said: "Absolutely fantastic news for us.
"We came in this morning expecting some news, when we heard this morning everyone was ecstatic. Really, really good news."
Hitachi Rail Europe, which has its headquarters in London, said its proposal was to be built at the firm's £82 million factory in Newton Aycliffe, in County Durham, which will be building Class 800 series trains for the Great Western and East Coast routes starting next year, employing 730 skilled staff.
Hitachi Rail Europe chief executive Alistair Dormer said: "We are disappointed to have lost out in this bid but this will not stop us making great trains for the British and European market from our factory at Newton Aycliffe."

(141.3 × 43.2 × 43.2 cm)Credit Line: Acquired through the Bequest of Doris Wright Anderson and through the F. V. du Pont Acquisition Fund, 1997Object Number: 1997-13About: At the end of 1856, William Morris and Edward Burne-Jones moved into Dante Gabriel Rossetti's old rooms in Red Lion Square, London. Morris ordered a suite of furniture from a local cabinetmaker, based on his own designs, including these two chairs. He and Rossetti decorated them together. Collaboration was an aspect of the medieval guild system that they admired and wished to imitate. The earliest chair, painted at the end of 1856, is taken from Morris' poem "Rapunzel" and depicts Gwendolen in the witch tower with the Prince below kissing her long golden hair. This chair includes Morris' calligraphy, which reads "Glorious Guendolen's Golden Hair," referring to these lines from his poem: Woe! That any man could dare To climb up the yellow stair, Glorious Guendolen's golden hair. The second chair was probably not decorated until early 1857. The subject matter is unclear, although it may be based on Morris' poem "Sir Galahad: A Christmas Mystery" (1858). The scene depicts a medieval woman bestowing her glove upon a knight. These chairs signify Morris' turn towards the decorative arts and the beginning of the Arts and Crafts Movement in England.

"I have been doing yoga for 30 years. I have had teachers of all kinds. Taking lessons from [Tara] has been more useful to me than taking yoga from anyone else."
"Love Tara Stiles. Best yoga instructor I've worked with. I didn't think yoga would be challenging for someone athletic like me. I really couldn't have been more wrong. It made me control and move my body in ways I never could before, and it was an amazing outlet for stress."
"One of the things I like about Tara is her ability to make yoga accessible to people who might be scared of it or think it might be too esoteric."
"Tara Stiles has got to be the coolest yoga instructor ever."

In an interview with the Associated Press, LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham claims that he will play a role in Friday's opening ceremonies to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Beckham was not selected for Stuart Pearce's Great Britain's soccer team at the Games, but told the AP on Tuesday that he will play an unspecified role in the ceremony.
"It is some kind of role in the opening ceremony which I am honored to be involved in because obviously I was involved in the start process with this seven years ago," Beckham told The Associated Press. "And for Seb (chair of the London Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games Sebastian Coe) to have kept me involved, I'm very proud of that."
In the interview, Beckham also specified that he'll be traveling back and forth between the U.S. and London to fulfill his duties with the Galaxy. Beckham is expected to travel back sometime today so that he can appear in Wednesday's MLS All-Star game against Chelsea at PPL Park in Chester, PA.
"I'll be going back and forward but I'll definitely be trying to get to a few events," he said.
However, no decision has been made on his status for Saturday's match against FC Dallas according to head coach Bruce Arena, who said after training on Monday that Beckham will miss "very few" matches to fulfill his Olympic responsibilities.

Smart Football has moved!

What I've been reading
1. The Great Crash of 1929 by John Kenneth Galbraith - Wish it was less pertinent, but them's the breaks.
2. Concept Passing: Teaching the Modern Passing Game by Dan Gonzalez - An important book. I have an article with contributions from Dan that will be up on the site next week; I recommend checking out both (the article and the book).
3. The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe - Never read this -- until now -- and am pleasantly surprised how both pertinent and entertaining it is. Read the book; avoid the movie.
4. Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets by Nassim Nicholas Taleb - Taleb is well, ascerbic, but this is an excellent and important book. I also like it better than the Black Swan, which, while good, often feels somewhat like a bloated chapter out of Fooled by Randomness.
5. Wall Street on the Tundra by Michael Lewis - An article about Iceland ("the only nation on earth that Americans could point to and say, 'Well, at least we didn't do that.'") for Vanity Fair magazine. Great stuff.
6. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood - Not sure if it is exactly up the alley of a lot of this site's readers, but it was one of the best novel's I've read in some time. Judge Richard Posner wrote an excellent review of the book for the New Republic that can be found here.
7. Blindsided: Why the Left Tackle is Overrated and Other Contrarian Football Thoughts by KC Joyner - Eh
15 comments:
- Gregor said...
Read the book - found his commentary interesting although I found his methodology to be pretty flawed on a lot of things.
- Unknown said...
Anything more on "Blindsided"? I'm a big fan of Michael Lewis, and like every other thinking football fan I've read "Blindside." Does "Blindsided" actually make any relevant points against Lewis' book? When I flipped through it at a book store it seemed like it was the kind of commentary FJM used to take apart - based more on "gut feelings" than on the numbers.
- Trader Kevin said...
About 20 years ago I was working on Wall Street and everyone on the subway was reading The Bonfire of the Vanities. I picked up a copy and was disappointed with it. Would be interesting to read it now to see if my perspective has changed.
I really liked A Man in Full, which was panned by the highbrow reviewers.
Fooled by Randomness is really good. Taleb is looking better and better with each Wall Street failure.
Wall Street on the Tundra? Dang, seems like you've been reading my reading list! That being said, I'll read pretty much anything by Michael Lewis.
- Jon said...
Blindsided was basically a collection of essays. OTTOMH, I liked KC Joyner's taxonomy of coaches. I don't really care for his rating system for players (it seems to rigidly beholden to his Adjusted Yards stats), but Sean Lahman's Pro Football Historical Abstract may be a better book pick.
- Jon said...
BTW, I am currently reading these:
Four kings : Leonard, Hagler, Hearns, Duran, and the last great era of boxing
The bottom line : observations and arguments on the sports business
Recent reads include:
The commissioners : baseball's midlife crisis
The year that changed the game : the memorable months that shaped pro football
The genius : how Bill Walsh reinvented football and created an NFL dynasty
The last commissioner : a baseball valentine
The best game ever : Giants vs. Colts, 1958, and the birth of the modern NFL
I'm a sports history junkie; particularly when it comes to the business side of sports.
I read the first chapter of Joyner's "Blindsided" and I was disappointed. While I agree that left tackles are overrated in terms of salary cap allocations, I thought his analysis was really, really poor.
I was really puzzled with his analysis of run blocking. With zone blocking, cut back RBs, and draw plays without designated holes, how in the world does he know where a running play was designed to go?
And his analysis of the effectiveness of pass blocking was limited to sacks allowed. That's ridiculous. Just because QB managed to unload the ball to avoid the sack, it doesn't mean the blocker got the job done.
In general, he doesn't seem to have any recognition of all the different ways that game plans, playcalling and other matchups influence a given player's performance. But this criticism applies to just about anyone trying to use Bill James' style analysis to football.
- Chris said...
protocoach: stan and Jon covered some of my thoughts, but (and correct me if I'm wrong) the upshot on the left tackle being "overrated" was based on his view that Lewis had claimed that left tackles were the end-all-be-all, and that they weren't significantly more important than the other offensive linemen. Which to me missed what Lewis was saying: when I read the Blindside sounded basically like Lewis was just saying that left tackles were, in fact, the second highest paid position and was not making a normative statement.
Also, the rest of the book seemed weak too: either super obvious (Bill Belichick is a good coach!), or generally not persuasive.
One issue stan: I agree that a lot of people trying to do Bill James-esque things for football is subject to not understanding the game's complexities, but Joyner seems awfully confident in his recommendations, despite their shaky foundations.
I know my selection isn't anywhere near as high brow as the others mentioned here, but you can't beat the Nike Coach of the Year clinic notes.
Although not a novel in any way, shape or form, the information in this is incredible, and it really gives you insight into your football knowledge. Think you know football? Read a 10 page article discussing how to play a 3 technique in an even front, and then realise you don't know as much as you thought you did...
I love that -- ten pages on playing a 3 technique. I'm a huge believer in coaching, game plans, playcalling -- the whole chess match. But you'll get a kick out of a true story I got from another coach.
My friend started out as a GA for a famous college coach (known for a certain offensive innovation) and went on to coach def line at several schools and won a national championship. One season when he was a GA, they had a freshman defensive lineman who was an absolute wrecking ball in the first couple of scrimmages. Dumb as a rock and no technique. He just lined up, wrecked the blocker(s), found the ball and made the play. First team offense couldn't block him. He had no idea about footwork, reading a hat, controlling his gap, squeezing the hole or anything. Just wrecked plays and made tackles.
Famous coach called his staff together and said with emphasis, "Y'all leave him alone. If I catch any of you SOBs trying to coach him up, I'll fire your ass on the spot!"
Sometimes, brilliance is knowing when to leave well enough alone.
- Jon said...
Chris, I'm not sure how much Joyner has in common with Bill James. I thought that Joyner gathered his information from watching the games instead of looking purely at stats. Even Football Outsiders does this nowadays. As I said on Residual Prolixity when Tom reviewed it, the book reminds me of one of the Baseball Prospectus books from a couple of years ago (not Mind Game. Some other one.) but it is shorter and has one author.
I'm tempted to reread the book again and critique or read some Joyner at ESPN. FWIW, he doesn't strike me as smug as some Football Outsiders. After reading a number of things about sports in the 50s, I'd like to revisit his Bert Bell chapter and see if my impression of it has changed
For those of you reading Wall Street on the Tundra by Michael Lewis this should also be read:
- Chris said...
Jon, how is "The best game ever: Giants vs. Colts, 1958, and the birth of the modern NFL"? I read an excerpt in the Atlantic (where the author sat down with Andy Reid to dissect the game), and while I enjoyed it, it contained some weird inaccuracies (when defenses or certain formations or strategies were invented, some other fundamental football errors). Any thoughts?
Also, I didn't mean to imply that Joyner and James are on the same level. I enjoy James particular for the reason that he focuses solely on stats: I think there's a purity to the approach. Joyner's is more of a blend, but not always in a good way. I don't dislike him or what he's doing, just wasn't particularly thrilled.
But I will point out that the entire trend of more of this kind of thing can only be good, FO included.
- Jon said...
Good question about the book, Chris. I'll try and get back to you this evening.
- Jon said...
That Atlantic article wasn't an excerpt, as far as I recall (I borrowed the book from the library and don't have it handy.)
I saw the game on ESPN and don't recall the single wing. From what I remember Steve Owens or Landry had invented the 4-3 by then; dropping back two lineman into linebacker positions.
My guess is that Bowden's book is up to the David Halberstam standard of historical sportswritng; largely true with some technical innacuracies.
Hey Stan,
Great story! I'm a football coach out here, and that is something that we have seen: if you have a player who catches in a strange way, don't try and change it! If it works, let it be.
I love sites like this: I'm looking at getting into coaching over in the US, and reading such interesting articles on topics I haven't been exposed to are mind blowing.

Project Independence finds new life in Gifford
Gifford Health Care
Project Independence finds new life in Gifford
BARRE – The state's first adult day center, Project Independence, got its start in Barre in 1975 when a nursing home activity director, Lindsey Wade, recognized an opportunity to do things better and more cost effectively. Wade encountered nursing home residents who didn't seem to medically belong there. Others were visiting the nursing home daily for the social interaction. Wade had an idea. The area needed an adult day care and not a medical model adult day, but a social model – something that didn't exist anywhere else in the country.
An active board and an interested city brought to life Project Independence on Washington Street and in the decades since, its model has not only flourished but expanded statewide. There are currently 14 adult day programs in Vermont.
Today's Project Independence serves 23 towns in Washington and northern Orange counties, welcoming an average 38 seniors and the disabled each weekday. The project includes meals, showers, medication management and ample activities, allowing them a fun and safe day care experience while also allowing them to stay at home – a far more affordable model than nursing home care.
But statewide adult days are struggling. Funding available for adult days almost guarantees failure. "The Adult Day financial model is not a successful one," says Project Independence Executive Director Dee Rollins. "It's a continued struggle to support our model."
And Project Independence has had some recent extra hurdles. It bought a North Main Street location and moved in 2010. Less than a year later, in May of 2011, the building flooded during a period of torrential rains that had storm water draining through a bulkhead into the building's basement causing $295,000 in damages and losses. The following summer a sewer hookup issue during Barre's "Big Dig" caused backups and additional damages and losses. Between those losses and looming health care reform that promises changes to health care funding and encourages health care relationships, small, standalone Project Independence began looking for help in the form of a partner. It found it in Gifford Health Care in Randolph.
A merger
Project Independence of Barre and the Gifford Retirement Community, part of Gifford Health Care in Randolph, will merge at the conclusion of Gifford's fiscal year on Sept. 30. Boards for the two nonprofit organizations unanimously agreed to the merger in May after studying the relationship for more than a year.
It will be a full asset merger with Project Independence retaining its name, location and fund-raising dollars. Project Independence's board will become an advisory board to provide local perspective and experience, and employees will become part of Gifford, opening the door to enhanced benefits. Project Independence will benefit from Gifford's staff, from financial to billing to nursing help, as well as its buying power as a larger organization.
For Project Independence it is an opportunity for financial stability and more amidst what have been a stormy couple of years and the projected financial changes under health care reform. For Gifford, it is an opportunity to further its work to support seniors and to partner with a reputable organization.
"It's the right thing. It's the right match. We have the right partner," says Rollins, who was drawn to Gifford because it has its own adult day, the Gifford Adult Day Program in Bethel, shares a mission of supporting seniors and because of the Randolph hospital's commitment to community.
Gifford is currently building a senior living community in Randolph Center that will include a new nursing home and independent and assisted living units after seeing a need in the community for these services. The Randolph medical center also already has services in the Barre area in the form of a health center off the Airport Road in Berlin. The Gifford Health Center at Berlin is home to family medicine, pediatrics, internal medicine, infectious disease, midwifery, orthopedics, podiatry, neurology and urology services.
"The combination of the two of us makes a lot of common sense and a lot of business sense," Project Independence Board Chairman Steve Koenemann said, calling his board's vote a very easy one to make and the plan "a no-lose proposition." "The goal is try to see the program grow," Koenemann said. "We don't want to change Project Independence. It has nearly 40 years of experience and reputation serving that community that's not something that you want to back away from." "It's not taking away anything from Project. It's all additions," added Rollins.
Gifford employees have already been providing support to Project Independence over the last year as the two organizations have carefully studied a merger. "When someone has a humble request for help as it relates to the delivery of health care services, we take that seriously," said Gifford Administrator Joseph Woodin, praising Project Independence's board, values, volunteers and hardworking team. "For us, that's extraordinarily appealing and we're thankful that they've asked us." "We feel this is an honor that they asked," agreed Linda Minsinger, Gifford Retirement Community executive director. "This is the right thing to do. It's really important that these participants have a place that will carry on." Joining with Project Independence is in keeping with Gifford's mission and providing support to a needed service that will no doubt grow as the state looks for more affordable ways to care for a growing senior population, said Gifford Board Chairman Gus Meyer.
"When you're a very small organization, you don't have the staff to do all of the diffeent things to be done. It's extremely difficult and it's extremely draining to make an organization of that size successful. They've done a great job of keeping their organization alive in the face of huge challenges and at the same time provided a great service," Meyer said. "A larger organization is much more able to absorb things that just come up. If there's some facilities' damage, it doesn't become devastating." That is a scenario that has Project Independence breathing a sigh of relief. "We are just all so encouraged. This just brings a true breath of fresh hope," Rollins said. "We're dancing in the streets." Well, maybe in the living room.
Project Independence participants – most of whom think of their home away from home as "the club" not an adult day center – let up a cheer upon hearing the news from Rollins that "the club" would merge with Gifford. Staff members, who have been part of what have been very transparent discussions, were equally enthusiastic. Cook Pam Bresette of South Barre said, "I think it's going to be fabulous." Office Administrator Sue Catto of Barre took her job a year ago knowing positive changes were coming. Licensed nursing assistant Amanda Koledo of Barre hopes to go to nursing school. Gifford provides tuition reimbursement. Koledo has worked at Project Independence for six years. "I think it's so exciting," she said. "We're on an island and we'll now have life jackets."
Gifford is a community hospital in Randolph, Vt., with family health centers in Berlin, Bethel, Chelsea and Rochester and specialty services throughout central Vermont. A Federally Qualified Health Center and Top 100 Critical Access Hospital in the country, Gifford is a full-service hospital with a 24-hour emergency department, inpatient and rehabilitation units, many surgical services, accredited cancer program, a day care, an adult day care and a 30-bed nursing home, the Menig Extended Care Facility, which was named by U.S. News and World Report as one of the best 39 nursing homes in the country in 2012. The Birthing Center, established in 1977, was the first in Vermont to offer an alternative to the traditional hospital-based deliveries and continues to be a leader in midwifery and family-centered care. The cancer program is accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons.
The hospital's mission is to improve individuals' and community health by providing and assuring access to affordable, high-quality health care in Gifford's service area.

We could all use a shot of optimism, and as usual Brian Wesbury is there to provide.
In an outlook released last week, the outspoken chief economist of First Trust Advisors takes Nouriel Roubini (as he frequently does), Bill Gross and others head on in his view of the sequester, the possibility of another recession and job growth.
"The double dip that never was, is certain this time…right?" he rhetorically, and somewhat sarcastically, begins. "When automatic federal spending cuts—the sequester—takes place on March 1, just say sayonara to economic growth."
The first thing to realize, he reassures, is that implementing the sequester is not the end of the world. Citing the Congressional Budget Office, he argues that if the sequester goes into effect as scheduled, it will reduce spending from its current path by $43 billion over the last seven months of this fiscal year—March to September. While this is 2% of all federal spending over that timeframe, he notes, it's only 0.5% of GDP and it's not an actual cut in the level of spending.
"Many pundits throw around a figure of $85 billion in 'cuts' for the remainder of this year, but that refers to 'budget authority,' not outlays. (Budget authority is what an agency can spend, outlays are what it actually spends.) Yes, if the sequester stays in place, outlay cuts would catch up to cuts in budget authority. And, contractors could lay off people today if they don't see the authority for future spending."
But the reduction in planned spending increases of just $43 billion will not be as catastrophic as many fear, Wesbury counters. The phase-out of the payroll tax cut of the last two years, all by itself, is supposed to raise revenue by more than $100 billion per year.
The result of all this?
Wesbury has yet to see evidence of a downturn.
"Most importantly, this whole argument about spending cuts is based in Keynesian economics and misses the point. Federal spending is way too high. And every dime the government spends must be paid for by the private sector, in the form of taxes or debt (which is just taxes at a later date). The bigger the federal government, the smaller the private sector, the less dynamic the economy is and the fewer jobs are created."
He believes the sequester could be good for the economy and job creation. His biggest worry is that after March 1, the president will make a simple request to add back to military spending without finding budget cuts elsewhere to pay for it, "or worse, with tax hikes, and Congress goes along. That would reverse the positive impact of the sequestration."
The bottom line, he concludes, is that the supposed negative impact of spending cuts is "a figment of the exaggerated and fearful nature of the punditry. Don't fear the sequester; lean into the wind and pray that someone in [Washington] is willing to do the right thing."

Release Notes for Clozure CL 1.4
Reporting Bugs
Please use the Trac instance at http://trac.clozure.com/ccl to review existing bug reports and to submit new ones.
Known Problems
The 32-bit Windows lisp still doesn't run on 64-bit Windows.
Notable Changes
The fasl file and image file versions have changed.
Code coverage http://trac.clozure.com/openmcl/wiki/CodeCoverage (r12300)
Export and document an interface to populations. (r12094)
Change in :sharing :private semantics (r12240).
Some user-contributed software may be found in ccl:contrib;. Clozure doesn't maintain these contributions.
The #$ reader macro will now try to look up foreign variables if it can't find a constant definition. This makes it OK to say, e.g., #$NSFontAttributeName (whereas before it was necessary to remember that it was #&NSFontAttributeName).
PATHNAME-ENCODING-NAME (ticket:358)
It appears that Apple isn't going to provide a way to set the gsbase MSR on x86-64, so we have given up and now dedicate a general-purpose register for thread-local storage on Darwin/x8664. This reduces foreign-function call overhead substantially.
The Objective-C bridge works on PPC64 now.
Sped up bignum multiplication on 64-bit platforms by multiplying 64-bits at a time (instead of 32).
REBUILD-CCL takes an :update keyword argument; when T, it will run svn and try to deal correctly with any conflicts.
On x86 platforms, there is a new debugging feature that allows lisp objects to be monitored for writes. See WatchedObjects for documentation.
Updated bundled ASDF.
Cocoa IDE
The Cocoa IDE has been significantly improved since the 1.3 release.
The IDE will load home:ccl-ide-init just before the event loop starts. See r11998.

I had the chance to present with my wife, Shannon at the 2014 Midwest Education Technology Conference.
This is what I learned (not shared… learned).
METC is without question, one of the best (if not the best) conferences in the country.
The good people who run it are the most helpful and organized I've had the pleasure of working with.
Sure, every hotel conference looks the same. Of course, except for the carpet.
And the lobbies. And the lights. Actually, they all look alike.
But METC is different.
It's worth your time and money.
If you are in the Midwest, please consider adding their February date to your schedule.
The other thing I learned is my wife is good.
But I already knew that, so maybe this doesn't count as learning something new.
