Infectious diseases (ID) physicians serving as infection prevention or antimicrobial stewardship medical directors must receive reimbursements that are consistent with the fair market value (FMV) of their services. As defined by the physician self-referral law ("Stark") law, fair market value is "the value in arms length transactions, consistent with the general market value" of your services. This means that ID physicians in consultation with their hospitals are free to establish reimbursement levels that are consistent with the market value of their services in a given area. This document provides an overview of FMV, Stark law, and other terms seen in contracting for physician services.
IDSA has long argued that, at a minimum, ID medical directors' reimbursements should account for the overhead costs required to maintain their practice. The following is an example of a reimbursement formula that can be used as a starting point in negotiations with your hospitals:
ID physicians' gross charges and compensation data is published annually by the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA). While some ID practices question the accuracy of MGMA data, it is one of the few sources of such data and is well understood by hospital administrators.
The MGMA Medical Directorship Compensation Survey: 2014 Report Based on 2013 Data — Key Findings Summary Report found that the total annualized compensation for nonsurgical subspecialists was $31,500 for hourly rate and $21,336 for monthly stipend. Findings regarding quality metrics tied to directorship as well as hours spent on directorship duties and number of responsibilities can be reviewed in the MGMA Medical Directorship Compensation Survey: 2014 Report Based on 2013 Data — Key Findings Summary Report (PDF).
Once a reimbursement formula and a data source have been identified, it is up to the individual ID physician to make the case for his/her value. Cultivating relationships with your hospital administrators based on trust, mutual respect, and proven results are the best way to ensure that your infection control reimbursements are commensurate with your value. It also is helpful to remember a few negotiating strategies that have been successfully used by your colleagues.
In October 2008, The Value of Infectious Diseases Specialists: Non-Patient Care Activities was published in Clinical Infectious Diseases (CID). The article provides a compendium of data sources that ID specialists can use in demonstrating their value to hospital administrators during contract negotiations.
Finally, a presentation on how to negotiate infection control contracts were given at the 2009 Clinical Practice Meeting. The presentation was presented as a point-counterpoint from a physician's standpoint.
Fiction. Hospitals often cite two "voluntary" reimbursement methodologies that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) deemed as safe harbors for the purpose of meeting fair market value. HHS' withdrew these reimbursement methodologies as safe harbors in August 2007 largely due to a lawsuit filed by the Renal Physicians' Association and supported by the IDSA and several other medical specialty societies.
Below are the withdrawn safe harbor methodologies for calculating fair market value hourly payment rates for physicians serving as medical directors:
Methodology 1
The hourly payment for a medical director cannot exceed the average hourly rate for emergency room physician services in the relevant physician market, provided there are at least three hospitals providing emergency room services in the market.
Methodology 2
The hourly payment for a medical director is calculated by averaging the 50th percentile salary for the physician's specialty of four national salary surveys and dividing the resulting figure by 2000 hours to establish an hourly rate. The CMS rule provides a choice of six recognized, readily available surveys.
Hospitals often used these payment methodologies as a justification to reduce the payments for the services of infection control medical directors by as much as 50 percent (e.g., from $150 per hour to $85-95 per hour). Be wary of hospitals that continue to cite these withdrawn safe harbors in an effort to limit your reimbursements.

A sense of classic style and signature sophistication are readily apparent in this highly popular silver finish oval plate. The ever charming elliptical design embodies a sense of genteel aristocracy and sophistication in all of its 13/16" x 2" dimensions. This time-honored cameo shaped plate seems to always be in style and has remained constant despite changing trends.
This particular design has a very definite feminine appeal and has been highly popular with women of all ages throughout the past several hundred years. Perhaps it is the absence of square edges or corners that allow this elliptical design to flourish continually.

It's been an exciting week so far here in San Jose at BlackBerry Jam Americas 2012. Beyond the infectious developer enthusiasm and the value-packed breakout sessions, we've also had the chance to showcase a few more features of the upcoming BlackBerry® 10 platform. Today I'd like to share some details about Mobile Application Management (MAM) with BlackBerry 10 and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10. I was able to catch up with RIM's Gregg Ostrowski, Sr. Director of Technical Solutions, and Jeff Holleran, Sr. Director of Enterprise Product Management, to chat about both developing enterprise apps as well as deploying them. Check out the video below for the details:
[ YouTube link for mobile viewing ]
What is Mobile Application Management (MAM)?
MAM is a practice that organizations engage with in order to provision mobile apps to employee devices. Beyond this simple statement, the topic covers areas such as apps behind the firewall, security of and access to data, provisioning required applications, making apps available for voluntary download, and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend.
RIM currently offers Mobile Application Management capabilities through our BlackBerry Enterprise Server and with BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion to BlackBerry smartphones, BlackBerry® PlayBookTM tablets, and iOS and Android™ devices. We're streamlining the process for the future with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 and BlackBerry 10, so read on for details!
Mobile Application Management with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10
Mobile applications are becoming a crucial part of everyday life for mobile workers. We use apps to stay up to date on the latest information, to stay in touch with others, and to integrate with existing systems like Customer Relationship Management tools. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 offers comprehensive application management to cover a variety of scenarios.
BlackBerry Balance and App World for both Work and Personal Spaces
On BlackBerry 10 devices, BlackBerry Balance functionality allows employees to switch seamlessly between work and personal spaces on the device. In the work space, App World operates as a portal for access to corporate application management. IT administrators can push required apps to BlackBerry 10 devices, provide a list of recommended apps from the public-facing App World directory, or make available apps that the company has developed. The recommended apps are available in App World within the work space of the device. Here employees can also check for updates and keep track of what corporate apps are installed.
Provisioning Apps with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10
Personal and work applications are handled differently on BlackBerry 10 devices. Personal apps are installed to the personal space on the device, while corporate applications are kept separate, safe, and secure within the work space. These work apps can access work data and interact with other work applications, but have user-controlled access to personal data and cannot interact with personal applications on the device that have been installed to the personal space.
Software configurations can be used to bundle applications and then assign them to individual accounts or user groups. To remove applications from devices, administrators can simply remove the application from the software configuration.
Choices, Configurations, and Deployment
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 is designed to help you manage and provision mandatory apps or recommended apps, both of which are kept secure within the work perimeter of BlackBerry 10 devices. App provisioning with BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 also extends beyond BlackBerry 10 smartphones to iOS and Android platforms, covering your multi-platform Mobile Application Management needs.
How is your organization managing applications on mobile devices today? What features do you wish were available, and which do you use most often? Share in the comments below.

Shailene Woodley has emerged as the front-runner to play Mary Jane Watson in the sequel to The Amazing Spider-Man.
Variety reports Woodley is in negotiations to join Andrew Garfield in director Marc Webb's follow-up to this year's (12) hit blockbuster.
The role has most famously been played on the big screen by Kirsten Dunst, who portrayed Peter Parker's girlfriend Mary Jane in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, starring Tobey Maguire as the webslinger.
The casting news comes on the same day as the cancellation of Woodley's TV drama The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
The show will be axed after its upcoming fifth season.

Burberry Prorsum Pre Fall 2012 Collection
by Keesean Moore
Were those bows instead of studs on Christopher Bailey's trench coats? Nope, you're not dreaming. For the Pre-Fall collection, Burberry Prorsum is in search of something softer and slightly more romantic. It works surprisingly well, don't you think? Especially coming from a house whose creative director is known to favor The Sex Pistols over sonnets.
Pre-fall 2012 for Burberry Prorsum was almost too cute for words, but Bailey kept things interesting, creating a nice juxtaposition between the cutesy Tootsie pop owl-screened pullovers and the course militaristic tailoring that's become the house's trademark.
From the color palette to the incredible over-sized accessories with luxe color blocking and snakeskin patchwork details, this collection still had some bite, almost deceptively sweet but undeniably tasty nonetheless.

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
Alexis Provos has updated his fork of ccMiner (source) with improved performance for mining Vcash and Decred Blake256-based crypto coins and we have compiled a Windows binary to try it out. His latest release brings the same performance or even a slightly higher for Vcash (former Vanillacoin) as the specially optimized CUDA 6.5 Compute 3.5 release of ccMiner using the latest CUDA 7.5 and the Compute version supported by the specific GPU you have. The Decred (DCR) hashrate is also higher when compared to the latest tpruvot release that includes the optimizations submitted by pallas. Below you can find a quick comparison of the hashrate you can expect from this release on GTX 980 Ti, the archive below includes a 32-bit and 64-bit binaries compiled with CUDA 7.5 and VS2013 for Compute 2.0 – Compute 5.2 GPUs, though we have not tested how it handles on older GPUs.
Do note that the focus of the ccMiner fork from Alexis Provos is on the Blake256 algorithms and most specifically on Vcash and his release brings support for very few algorithms. There are some optimizations available for the other supported algorithms as well, so you might want to compare them as well in terms of performance. It is not a full ccMiner fork with support for all of the algorithms available in other releases, so with this one you can mine only the following algorithms:
– blake for Blake256-14rounds (SFR)
– decred for Blake256-14rounds (DCR)
– blakecoin for Blake256-8rounds (BLC)
– vcash for Blake256-8rounds (XVC)
– whirlpoolx for WhirlpoolX (old VNL algo)
– keccak for keccak256 (Maxcoin)
– lyra2 for LyraBar
– lyra2v2 for VertCoin
Since this fork is not based on the latest code by tpruvot there might be some bugs that have been resolved in the newer codebase of tpruvot's ccMiner. We have observed something strange already, namely the very fast increase of the difficulty to a very high level on the Suprnova pool for Decred using Stratum over getwork, though it works just fine on YIIMP. In the end the difficulty issue appeared to be temporary and apparently something poolside and not related to the miner itself. Below you can find some performance comparison results using an Nvidia GTX 980 Ti GPU:
This release with GTX 980 Ti intensity 31 Decred, 30 Vcash
Vcash – 4453 MHS
Decred – 2394 MHS
1.7.4 alexis78 release Compute 3.5 CUDA 6.5
Vcash – 4418 MHS
Latest 1.7.6-git tpruvot with Pallas tweaks
Decred – 2218 MHS
– To download the latest ccMiner version 1.7.1-git by alexis78 with improved performance for Windows OS…
We have compiled ccMiner 1.7.4 tpruvot's fork Windows binary in a version with the optimal settings for mining Vanillacoin (VNL) on more recent Nvidia-based GPUs as suggested by Alexis Provos and with his performance optimizations as implemented by tpruvot in the latest code. This Windows binary is a 32-bit one compiled with CUDa 6.5 and only with Compute 3.5 support as apparently this provides the optimal performance at least on Maxwell-based Nvidia GPUs (Faster than using Compute 5.2 on them). Below you can also see a comparison that we did with Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 from Gigabyte (WF3OC) and a reference design Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti to see the difference in performance with the regular version when using CUDA 7.5 and Compute 5.2 and with the optimized CUDA 6.5 and Compute 3.5 version available for download below. Do note that although this binary will work with other algorithms as well as the Blake 256 8-rounds used by VanillaCoin it may not provide the optimal performance for other algorithms as it is targeted to provide the best VNL mining hashrate.
GeForce GTX 970 – CUDA 7.5 Compute 5.2
Default – 2490 MHS @ 164 W
Intensity 25 – 2535 MHS
Intensity 26 – 2637 MHS
Intensity 27 – 2692 MHS
Intensity 28 – 2718 MHS
Intensity 29 – 2722 MHS
Intensity 30 – 2729 MHS
Intensity 31 – 2732 MHS
GTX 980 Ti – CUDA 7.5 Compute 5.2
Default – 3390 MHS @ 211 W
Intensity 25 – 3797 MHS
Intensity 26 – 3884 MHS
Intensity 27 – 3986 MHS
Intensity 28 – 4009 MHS
Intensity 29 – 4043 MHS
Intensity 30 – 4075 MHS
Intensity 31 – 4132 MHS
GeForce GTX 970 – CUDA 6.5 Compute 3.5
Intensity 31 – 2942 MHS @ 177 W
GeForce980 – CUDA 6.5 Compute 3.5
Intensity 31 – 4418 MHS @ 238 W
Do note that increasing the intensity over the default setting (no manual -i intensity option used) even on a regular release will provide some increase in performance as you can see in our comparison going up to the maximum supported intensity of 31. Have in mind that increasing intensity also makes the system a bit less responsive the higher you go and at 30/31 it will be lagging more, but the extra performance gain you will get with the optimal binary and higher Intensity setting is significant, so for a dedicated mining rig for VanillaCoin you should definitely go for it.
Update: This particular performance optimization is for VanillaCoin's Blake256 8-rounds implementation, the CUDA 6.5 and Compute 3.5 compilation of the particular CUDA code for that algorithm give better performance than Compute 5.0 or 5.2. The CUDA code is different for other Blake 256 algorithms, including the one for Decred's Blake-256 14-rounds implementation, so do not expect performance increase in others. In fact specifically for Decred, a 64-bit compilation with CUDA 7.5 and for Compute 5.x does seem to provide best performance with the publicly available ccMiner 1.7.4 fork from tpruvot.
– To download the ccMiner version 1.7.4 by tpruvot for VanillaCoin mining for Windows OS…
New update in the form of a Windows binary compiled from the latest Git source code of the ccMiner 1.5.78-git SP-MOD fork by SP optimized for the latest Maxwell-based video cards (source). The latest release adds support for the new Blake256 algorithm that Vanillacoin (VNL) has just forked to from WhirlpoolX. Do note that the Blake256 algorithm used by Vanillacoin is slightly different from the one used by BlakeCoin, so you need to use the one specifically for Vanillacoin! Do note that the SP-MOD fork of ccMiner is designed for Nvidia Maxwell GPUs such as the already available GTX 750, 750 Ti as well as the newer GTX 960, GTX 970, GTX 980 and GTX 980 Ti and GTX Titan X. The Windows binary release we have made available here is with support for Compute 5.0 and Compute 5.2 GPUs or with other words only for Maxwell-based Nvidia video cards compiled with CUDA 7.5 and VS2013.

Weedeater 2
This photo went with my original Weedeater post back in 2008, when I was already a confirmed eater of the "weed" known as lambsquarters, having been eating them since one of our more experienced gardeners told me what they were. I'd taken this picture because I was just cracking up over how much this looked like the work of a child pretend-cooking. I'm bringing it up again today because there's a really good article about the same stuff today on WNYC.org.
Click here to read it.

I attended a short lecture on Saturday, lots of plants in the list
- bonnie said...
Wow, that's a ton!
Another one I've been curious about that we've got tons of at the club is Japanese knotweed - it's a really nasty pushy weed; it's supposed to be edible but I'm a bit hesitant because they're actually growing out and about in the club. I think that at one point (long before I joined) the club ordered a truckload of topsoil to cover the old rubble that covered the grounds - instead somebody brought in MORE rubble. Probably not toxic but hard to know what's in there.
That's actually why we all do raised beds.
- Unknown said...
recently viewed a tv cooking show that talked about the greens and I was wondering where to buy them! Are you growing them at Sebago or did you buy them?
- Baydog said...
It does definitely look like a child pretend-cooking, and I have produced many of those images in my childhood. I humbly admit that I have never had lamb's quarters.
- Baydog said...
Another sidewalk weed which is good for consumption is Purslane. Ever had it? It's mucilaginous, which is the scientific word for a succulent.
Portulaca as it's otherwise known.
- bonnie said...
They come up with the rest of the weeds in my garden and I leave them when I pull the rest of the weeds. Once they get big enough to get a good bagful I pull them up.
After this WNYC article, I bet a beer that they'll be available for a fancy price at the Union Square Greenmarket. I was shaking my head a few years back when I was there in the spring and found that one of the vendors that markets to gardeners was selling flats of mixed greens - arugula, mesclun and dandelions - really? you're selling dandelions? and people are buying them? to plant? really?
A friend on Facebook mentioned that purslane and pokeweed are also being sold there now and with this article, they'll almost have to add this one.
I think I may have had purslane in a salad at a fancy restaurant sometime but I can't swear to it.

getReportFiles >>= map readFile
This worked fine for months - until this morning, when the program crashed with an error indicating that too many files had been opened.
The problem is that readFile uses lazy I/O. Generally, when we write code like getLine >>= putStrLn, we expect these calls to happen in order - indeed, that's one of the primary purposes of the IO monad. But readFile uses hGetContents internally, which is an exception to the strict I/O found elsewhere in Haskell. So readFile opens the file and then returns a thunk instead of actually reading the file. Only when the thunk is evaluated is the I/O performed and the file read into memory. And only when the thunk has been fully evaluated will the open file be closed.
So in my snippet, I was reading in hundreds of files as thunks. and until the full contents of the thunks were evaluated, the files all remained open. This was no problem until the number of reports I had to process reached a certain point and exposed the bug.
import qualified Data.ByteString.Char8 as BS
eagerReadFile :: FilePath -> IO String
eagerReadFile file = BS.unpack <$> BS.readFile file
ByteString's readFile method is eager, so you'll get back the complete file contents.
Update: In the comments, Chris points out System.IO.Strict, which has a strict readFile function that simply replaces Prelude.readFile.
Lazy I/O can be very useful: instead of reading in the complete contents of a large file, you can read it lazily using a function in the hGetContents family and then process it without having to read the entire contents into memory at once. But lazy I/O can surprise you if you're not expecting it.
(thanks to #haskell for pointing out the eager Data.ByteString.Char8.readFile)

678 Party
June 7, 2008 Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, California
Moonalice poster by Alexandra Fischer
According to Moonalice legend, one of the tribe's annual high holy days was called Burning Bud. It was a one-day event devoted to the building of a henge. The tribe was not very practical. It took them a while to figure out that you can't build much of henge in one day.
The one-day limit led to much experimentation with building materials. They tried dirt. Then mud. They even tried water. They tried practically everything that was available. Then one day, someone decided to make a henge out of hemp.
They built the entire thing out of hemp and it was done in a day! It was huge!!! It smelled great!!! They wanted to call it Hemphenge. Then they set it on fire. They got really stoned. And a name came out of nowhere.
So began the festival of Burning Bud. With it began Fire Arts and people getting buzzed and running around naked in the desert. It is our understanding that some of these customs persist to the present day.

G'day from Australia!
Thank you for the add
I love PL Arcs and have had a few over the years, but so far I've kept my two favourite kites: Synergy 12m and the old Waterfoil 5.6m (not an arc of course, but a PL kite nevertheless and only because i"ve converted it into a depower kite with a mixer similar to the Pansh Aurora, which I also have).
Here's a video of myself trying out the Synergy for the first time with a landboard.
My next mission is to try and hopefully get my hands on a Charger II.
Take care out there and good winds!

| 7.5°C Belfast
Gary Cahill has laughed off suggestions Chelsea were planning to 'park the bus' at Manchester City and joined the chorus of approval for manager Jose Mourinho's tactics.
Mourinho masterminded a significant victory in the Barclays Premier League title race as the Londoners claimed a deserved 1-0 win over previously free-scoring City at the Etihad Stadium.
With City having scored 115 goals in all competitions, it was assumed Mourinho might adopt defensive tactics but he more than matched City at their own game with a fine display of counter-attacking football.
Branislav Ivanovic scored the only goal as Chelsea pulled themselves level with City in second in the table, just two points behind leaders Arsenal.
Defender Cahill claims there was never any intention of sitting back and playing solely to cancel out the title favourites.
The England international said: "It makes me laugh when people say that.
"But we were disciplined defensively with the two midfielders and centre-backs staying solid.
"It was a class performance. We had to weather the storm for the first 10 or 15 minutes but the work-rate was fantastic and we managed to get the result we deserved overall.
"Jose has the CV for a reason. He is obviously a top-quality manager and we worked on a few things in the last couple of days which he was adamant we put into practice.
"It did pay off for us and we defended solidly with a fair share of the ball.
"The club is a massive club and when you have that and massive players, and you add a massive manager, I think it combines really well.
"He is experienced and it is all new for me but it is working well at the minute. We are playing well and doing what he asks of us."
Mourinho played down his side's title chances after the game but the Blues are clearly in the reckoning.
Their performance was an excellent response to last week's frustrating goalless draw with West Ham and they will look to maintain the momentum as they host Newcastle on Saturday.
Centre-back Cahill, who was outstanding alongside John Terry on a night of high intensity, said: "I thought every single person put in a shift and played well.
"We know we have quality in the side but we had the desire to chase and break up play numerous times.
"We had loads of possession against West Ham and it was a blow to drop two points at home.
"Now we are on the end of a positive win away from home so we can't afford to throw that away at the weekend against a tough team.
"We are at home, we should be buzzing with confidence and ready to go again."
City made the better start with Yaya Toure and David Silva having early chances but Chelsea then took charge with Ramires testing Joe Hart before Ivanovic fired in a fine left-foot shot from 18 yards.
With Eden Hazard and Willian tormenting the City defence, the visitors could have had more and Samuel Eto'o, Nemanja Matic and Cahill all hit the frame of the goal.
Silva had two late chances as City searched for an equaliser but Chelsea were not to be denied.
They were the first team since Birmingham in November 2010 to prevent City scoring at home.
Cahill, 28, said: "Just before we left the hotel we saw the TV saying they had not failed to score at home since 2010, so hearing that 10 minutes before we set off had us buzzing.
"They have quality players but they also have strength and power and sometimes they steamroller teams. I've seen them out-muscle teams and then their quality comes through.
"We needed to match that from the off and I thought we did. Our creative players were creative and we defended really well and we got a clean sheet, which is rare."
There were numerous stars for Chelsea but the performance of £21million Matic, who arrived from Benfica last month as Juan Mata left for Manchester United, did earn praise.
Cahill said: "When you are winning people don't tend to say too much.
"A fantastic world-class player has left the club, no doubt about it, but we have added another great player and he has started two matches and been fantastic in both of them."

Thank god the fast food there were so much healthier than the usual Western ones. The mains were almost always a rice-based meal or noodles with meat. Although there are some pretty weird ones like Hot Lemon Coke. Once I plucked the courage to order it to satisfy my growing curiosity. How did they do it? They filled up a tall glass with Coke, stuck in a microwave and nuked it then, just before handing it to me, dropped a slice of lemon in it. Et voila - hot lemon coke! I was laughing pretty much of the time I walked to my table. The concoction had a strange chemical potion taste to it. Similar to a medicine you're forced to swallow when you were little except it's hot. It was okay though I'm not hurrying to order another one any time soon. LOL.
Baked Pork Chop Rice is one of my favourites among Cafe de Coral's menu. It is simply fried pork chops (marinated and floured), put on a bed of egg fried rice, topped with a tomato-based sauce and grated cheese then baked. Just remembering the smell when it comes out of the oven onto my plastic tray and the wonderful taste of the succulent chops starts me drooling.
My well-thumbed Chopsticks Recipes Introduction cookbook by Cecilia J. Au Yeung is where I got the recipe that I adapted.
Baked Pork Chop Rice
500 g pork chops or pork rib steaks or pork shoulder steaks
grated cheddar cheese
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp celery salt (optional)
1 tsp light soy sauce
2 tsp rice wine
2 tsp sugar
1 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp cooking oil
1 medium onion - chopped
2 medium tomatoes - chopped
1/2 cup of chopped vegetables - carrots, peas, sweetcorn, celery, etc.
1 Tbsp tomato paste or ketchup
1 cup stock
1 Tbsp light soy sauce
1 tsp sugar
freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp cornflour
3 Tbsp water
1 cooking oil
*Egg Fried Rice:
4-5 cups cooked rice (preferably chilled)
2 beaten eggs
3 Tbsp cooking oil
salt to taste
- Pound the meat with a meat mallet or the back of a cleaver knife to tenderise.
- Combine all ingredients for the marinade and mix with the meat. Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Add the oil and marinate for another 10 minutes.
- While it is marinating, make your egg fried rice. Heat the oil in a wok over medium heat.
- Add the cooked rice plus salt according to taste. If you're using chilled cooked rice, crumble the rice first before adding to the wok to separate the grains.
- Stir fry for a few minutes.
- When it is almost done, push the rice to the sides of the wok and drizzle a little oil in the middle. Pour in the beaten eggs and cook in the middle for a few seconds until almost completely set. Then combine it with the rest of the rice breaking it up as you stir it in.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- For the sauce, heat the cooking oil over medium heat in a sauce pan.
- Saute the onion in medium heat until translucent.
- Add the tomatoes and cook until soft. Mash the tomatoes with a spatula.
- Tip in the soy sauce, sugar, tomato paste, pepper, stock, and vegetables.
- Bring to boil and then simmer until the vegetables are cooked (about 5 minutes).
- Dissolve the cornflour in the water and then add to the sauce.
- Bring to boil on medium heat and stir until thickened.
- Remove from heat and set aside.
- Dredge the marinated pork chops in flour.
- Deep fry or pan fry until golden brown - about 3-4 minutes each side.
*To assemble:
- Pre-heat oven to 220°C/fan 200°C/430°F.
- Divide the egg fried rice into oven-proof bowls.
- Top each one with one fried pork chop.
- Spoon sauce on top.
- Sprinkle grated cheese.
- Bake in oven for about 15 minutes.
- Serve while hot.

Waste of Time
Fund: Sigma Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2008-06-19
Pitching to Sigma is a waste of time. We started with their pleasanton office which is way out in the boonies to drive. Then we were asked to present (twice) to the team in Menlo Park & again a 3rd time with "industry expert" present (which was a person who had worked at Yahoo! years ago).
After 45 days they came back and said "Greg voted no"
Greg Gretsch bullies around his older partners with so called "expertise" in new media & web 2.0. All his calls so far have been crap, so I dont know why his experienced partners give him so much leverage.PRIVATE: Members Only

Zero Grav necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 801 diseños de 178 diseñadores freelance.
Zero Grav or ZeroGrav or ZeroGrav.com
We're looking for a corporate identity that explores the boundaries of time and space (and gravity, of course!) for our new technology company, which we hope to build into a large consumer technology company.
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM STOCK IMAGERY like icons, etc. WE LOVE ICONS, but they have to be unique to the design. If you want to throw a stock image on there to test our feelings for the overall design, go for it! Just note it in the comments, that you'll replace it with one you draw if we like the direction.
We'll provide comments on each entry and try to accentuate the positive aspects of all the entries. We don't like criticism too much, either. ;-)
Some of the ideas we had were 50's style curvy cartoon rocket ships, but we couldn't figure out how to make it work with a high tech site design. We still like this idea if someone can make it work, and anything space, network, or tech related is great. We love 3D look and classic 50's iconography. Matching the text font to the style of the logo is way bonus.
Other ideas we toyed with were abstract circular logos evoking motion and "zero" (we don't like purely abstract logos as much), etc. We don't like the idea of Isaac Newton, apple's falling from trees, really old woodcut motifs, etc.
Thanks for participating and the best of luck to each of you!!
Our target audience is consumers of varying ages and genders.
Apple's logo is a great example of a logo that is instantly recognizable, iconic, looks great in black and white as well as color, and does not limit them to any industry or field.
Welcome to the contest!
This is my first time judging a contest like this, so please bear with me! I'm a designer too and know how easy it is to have your feelings hurt, so I'm trying to give plenty of good feedback along with the bad.
If I just give you positive feedback but immediately eliminate your design, then it probably means I might like your design but the direction isn't right for this contest and please take a different direction (although I might do this if you give a zillion variations.) Try something new, and don't be afraid to move away from the rocket idea if you have something good. I've seen some great stuff with people doing things like paper airplanes, astronauts, planets, stars, people in free fall, etc.
Sometimes people submit designs and I have to go back and compare them to see what the difference is. Please only submit variations if they're actually DIFFERENT in a substantial way. (thanks for that!)
I'm trying to give feedback for EVERY logo, but it's exhausting to spend three hours a day giving some good comments on the more than 100 logos that come in every day.
- Please don't abbreviate, or use the number zero (or variations), or ".com"
- The logo must contain "Zero Grav" somewhere, and no other text
- Please use bright colors unless you're going for a retro or cartoonish look
- Not really looking for a high tech logo
- Please show logo on either black or white backgrounds, or both -- especially no gradients for backgrounds
- Prefer Web 2.0 gradients unless you're doing some good shading for a rocket or something. Google for "Web 2.0 Gradients" for your program
- Please crop tightly around your logo so that it shows as big as possible in the preview. I usually don't open the logo in a new window to see the details (and it's a logo, so it should work at small sizes)
- Vector logos only!
- If you are using stock illustrations, you must state so in the comments along with the license and costs if any.
- Please stick with lowercase, sans-serifed fonts unless you have a good reason not too.
- Don't go crazy with a zillion color variations unless they really do something with it. I'm a designer too and can generally figure out what I'd like to do with colors.
- Think friendly, simple, Web 2.0. Maybe flowing or retro, depending on your logo
- To see the logos I like, change "Show Only" to show only four and five starred logos.
- It's ok to copy ideas, but you must be original in your artwork.
- Please do SOMETHING with the font -- hand kern if needed, round corners, whatever. I see a lot of stuff where people draw (or download) an illustration and pair it with a basic black Arial font. Need a bit more than that.
- Please no jumbled letters. It's just hard to read and doesn't feel like "design"
- Please avoid rainbows and elements of other company's logos or trade dress like apples or coke bottles
Thanks for participating in this contest!
- Logo will be used on website and in print
- Prefer modern, rounded fonts
- FRIENDLY logos, please... too many hard angles are not what we're looking for. Think Apple's logo
- rockets are cool, but any iconography that represents zero gravity, space, or anything else works!
- Logo may be used as a two-color imprint (possibly transparent) on printed materials, embroidered materials, favicon (16x16), etc.
- Logo may be used on pages designed by non-designers with garish color choices ;-)
- Logo should look good on both dark and light backgrounds.
- Part or all of the logo should fit into a 16x16 pixel area for favicons, or something small and cute that has similar style (this is tough, so wait until final selection to give it a try)
If your logo makes it into the final selection and can't be reduced to two colors without dithering, please provide an edited version that will work for two color printing as well.
We prefer vector logos if possible, so that we can resize for whatever need we might imagine. We don't have any font or color preferences, but tend to lean more toward brighter colors and sans serif fonts.
We will need a full copyright transfer/release with all rights in any medium for any legal use worldwide for the winning logo.
We provide comments on EVERY entry and will star the entries as well! We know how hard a good design is to do and thank you in advance for your hard work!

Good Samaritan, motorist killed in crash
Wife of good Samaritan speaks to WKMG-TV
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Two people were killed Saturday after an early morning accident that left Interstate 4 shut down for several hours in Central Florida.
Liz Webb said she woke up Saturday morning to the sound of a state trooper banging on her door.
"It just creates a hole that's never going to go away," Webb said. "It's like a nightmare that's never going to end."
While Webb and her two daughters were asleep in their Kissimmee home, her husband, 47-year-old Robert Webb, was killed along with the stranger he was trying to help on Interstate 4.
According to troopers, Webb, a Mears taxi cab driver, had pulled over to help Nicole Arzig, 26, who had crashed into the guardrail near State Road 46 in the westbound lanes of I-4.
Both were standing in the emergency lane when they were hit by another car that had swerved to avoid the accident.
Webb said her husband was killed instantly.
"He was a good man, he was a good person, he had a good heart," said Webb.
Robert worked the night shift. His wife said he sometimes worked 60 hours a week -- anything to give his family the world.
"He took good care of us. It's just, I'm going to miss him for the rest of my life," Webb said.
The driver of the car that hit Webb and Arzig was identified by troopers as 33-year-old Jescycka Cater.
Troopers said the crash remains under investigation.
Webb said she set up a memorial fund in her husband's name at TD Bank . All donation will go toward helping with funeral costs. The account, on behalf of Robert G. Webb Jr., is under Elizabeth Webb's name.

I'm sorry to bog up the forum with this thread, but I am being pointlessly antsy while waiting for an email reply from Weasyl Support. (For me, it is only the third day, so there is nothing to worry over. I'm just being impatient!)
Is there some kind of "mod log" for staff that lets us know how things are going on their end? Specifically, I'm wondering whether there is an area on the site or forum that lets users know how busy Support staff currently are, and what kind of wait times there will be for getting replies from emails. (That way losers like myself don't check our email inbox every other hour. Because that may or may not be what I have been doing for the last couple days.)
I'm thinking something along the lines of "Support staff are currently tending to #XXXX open cases. Wait time for support tickets sent today is estimated at #XX hours." Or some other method of letting us know what's up?

50 Restaurants That Are Actually Worth Waiting in Line For
The burger at the tiny Au Cheval is astoundingly delicious, easily the best in Illinois and so good that we named it the country's best last year. Two patties (or three, if you order a "double") of no-frills ground beef topped with cheddar, Dijonnaise, and a few thin slices of pickles and served on a soft toasted bun from Chicago's Z Baking. The patties are wonderfully crusty, the fries are fried in lard, and just about everything about this burger is perfect. The line to get into this place stretches literally around the block every day, so owner Brendan Sodikoff (who just opened an equally-packed New York location) is clearly doing something right.Tina L./Yelp
Ben's Chili Bowl (Washington, DC)
Perhaps the most famous eatery in Washington, D.C., Ben's has been going strong for more than 50 years, serving D.C.'s signature sausage: the half-smoke, a thick, smoky, half-pork, half-beef link topped with onions and a spicy chili sauce. College kids, old-timers, and celebrities are all welcome as long as they're willing to stand in line like everybody else - though the president eats for free.Susan W./Yelp
Biscuit Love (Nashville, Tennessee)
Biscuit Love got its start as a Tennessee food truck in 2012, and the biscuits served by the husband-and-wife duo, Karl and Sarah Worley, proved to be so popular that in 2015 they opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant in The Gulch that opens at 7 a.m. daily. Their "East Nasty," a biscuit sandwich with fried chicken, cheddar, and sausage gravy, is a wonder to behold, but a plain biscuit with sausage gravy (chocolate and tomato gravy are also available) is the dish to order. As expected at a restaurant this popular, though, the wait for a table can feel like an eternity, especially if your stomach is grumbling.Yelp/ Daniel R.
Brenda's French Soul Food (San Francisco, California)
The cuisine of New Orleans has come to California in a big way, in the form of crawfish-stuffed beignets, grillades and grits, fried shrimp po'boys, barbecue shrimp, fried chicken, and red beans and rice. Brenda's French Soul Food is so popular, in fact, that the fact it doesn't take reservations isn't enough to keep hungry locals away; they'll just get in line instead.Yelp/ Katherine N.
Café du Monde (New Orleans)
It's really true that no visit to New Orleans, Louisiana is complete without a trip to Café du Monde near Jackson Square, a huge, bustling eatery dedicated to the humble beignet, a square of fried dough topped with a mound of powdered sugar. Wait in line for your table (the wait is never as long as it looks), make sure you order a chicory coffee to wash it all down, and pro tip: Don't breathe in as you're taking your first bite, or you'll cough powdered sugar all over your shirt.Connie T./Yelp
Callie's Hot Little Biscuit (Charleston, South Carolina)
Founded in Charleston, South Carolina in 2005 by Carrie Morey, Callie's Hot Little Biscuit is serving biscuits that are essentially perfect, filled with your choice of jam, country ham, pimento cheese, bacon, or most substantial offerings like sausage, egg, and cheese. It's a small, counter-serve establishment though, so get there early and get in line. Even if you're not hungry when you arrive, you will be by the time you get your food!Yelp/ Edgar A.
Cheeseboard Pizza (Berkeley, California)
There are only a handful of tables in this small offshoot of a Berkeley specialty foods shop called The Cheese Board Collective, and if you want to sample the goods, you're going to have to get in line. Cheeseboard Pizza only makes one type of pizza per day, and it's always vegetarian. If you want to sample that day's (always spectacular) offering, be prepared to wait... and wait.Yelp/Lawrence L.
Clinton Street Baking Co. (New York, New York)
Clinton Street Baking Company is renowned for its pancakes (it's well-established as serving some of the best in New York), but if you wake up on a Sunday morning and expect to roll out of bed and stroll right in, you'll be in for a jolt: Wait times during prime brunchtime can stretch on for more than two hours.Yelp/ J Giggles L.
Di Fara (Brooklyn, New York)
Domenico DeMarco is a local celebrity in Brooklyn, having owned and operated Di Fara since 1964. Dom cooks both New York- and Sicilian-style pizza for hungry New Yorkers and tourists willing to wait in long lines and brave the free-for-all that is the Di Fara counter experience. When he's on, Di Fara can make a very strong case for being America's best pizza. And if you stand at the counter and watch Dom make your pizza by hand, pull it from the ripping-hot oven with his bare hands, and snip some fresh basil over it with a pair of scissors, it just might be America's best pizza experience as well.Jay S./Yelp
Eggslut (Los Angeles, California)
Yes, the eatery's name is borderline inappropriate, but once you get over it you'll realize that Eggslut takes its eggs very seriously. The bacon, egg, and cheese and sausage, egg, and cheese sandwiches are perfectly constructed (we'll be putting honey mustard aioli on all of our sausage, egg, and cheeses from now on), but the Fairfax is what put it on the map. A warm brioche bun is filled with perfectly soft scrambled eggs and chives, and then simply topped with caramelized onions and Sriracha mayonnaise. It's one of America's best egg dishes, and if you want to experience it for yourself, you're going to have to line up for it.Alex B./Yelp
Franklin Barbecue (Austin, Texas)
One of the most notorious and legendary food lines in America, the queue at Aaron Franklin's Austin, Texas barbecue restaurant is absolutely insane, and a rite of passage for barbecue lovers everywhere. Fans begin lining up at around 5 a.m. on a daily basis for Franklin's legendary brisket, ribs, and sausage, and if you get there after 8 your odds of making it to the front before the 'cue runs out are slim to none. The wait is going to be anywhere from four to six hours, so bring a lawn chair and some beer (yes, even though it's barely dawn) and consider the wait a part of the experience.Franklin BBQ
Grimaldi's Pizza (Brooklyn, New York)
Located near the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, the legendary Grimaldi's Pizzeria still commands long lines, even though it's moved a few doors down (the original location is now home to Juliana's Pizza, which was opened a few years ago by Grimaldi's founder Patsy Grimaldi - long story). It's a splendid destination after strolling over the Brooklyn Bridge, but remember: no credit cards, no reservations, and no delivery!Harald C./Yelp
Hattie B's Hot Chicken (Nashville, Tennessee)
Nashville-style hot chicken is having its moment, and one of the city's most famous purveyors of spice-drenched fried chicken is Hattie B's. The restaurant is insanely popular, though, and opening more locations hasn't done much to stem the tide of hungry visitors. Those who've braved the wait - and the heat - have said that it's well worth it, though.Yelp/ Fox E.
Hominy Grill (Charleston, South Carolina)
A Charleston, South Carolina, must-visit, the comfortable and inviting 23-year-old landmark Hominy Grill showcases the classic Lowcountry cooking of chef Robert Stehling as well as his dedication to using only the finest ingredients available in his Southern-style breakfast and lunch dishes. The beloved restaurant is only open until 3 p.m. daily, and it doesn't take reservations, however, so if you want to sample the famous Charleston Nasty Biscuit you're going to have to put your name in and be prepared to wait - especially if it's the weekend. Thankfully, there's a courtyard to wait in, complete with a cocktail window.Yelp/ Michelle R.
Joe's Kansas City Bar-B-Que (Kansas City, Kansas)
Formerly known as Oklahoma Joe's, Joe's Kansas City is located inside a former Kansas gas station, and it's one of the best barbecue joints in America - its ribs are especially worthy of renown. A rub heavy with paprika, cumin, brown sugar, and chili powder is the secret to its success, and fans come from miles around to wait in line to sample some.Lauren F./Yelp
Joe's Stone Crab (Miami Beach, Florida)
Joe's Stone Crab is one of the most famous restaurants in America; it got its start when Florida's Miami Beach was basically a backwater, and its famous stone crab claws are one of the most iconic dishes in America. Snagging a table can command a very long wait, though.Yelp/ Joe's Stone Crab
Howlin' Ray's (Los Angeles, California)
Howlin' Ray's owner Johnny Ray Zone has spent time working for some of the world's most renowned chefs, but he found his true calling on a trip to Nashville. What started as a food truck is now a tiny Chinatown storefront serving fresh-from-the-fryer hot chicken made screamingly hot with help from cayenne and extracts of habanero, ghost pepper, and red savina. Yes, Nashville hot chicken has finally made its way to Los Angeles, but if you want to sample it, you're going to have to wait in line.Robert H./Yelp
Katz's Delicatessen (New York City)
The most legendary Jewish deli in America is also its best, serving untouchable pastrami, corned beef, hot dogs, and other classic deli fare. The squat, sprawling Katz's Deli has a peculiar ordering system: You wait in line (in a line that regularly stretches far beyond the front door), take a ticket, order at the counter (make sure you tip the counterman a few bucks - he's the guy who's slicing your pastrami, after all), then you take your food to an open table, and hand them your marked-up ticket to pay on the way out. It's old fashioned, but it works.Paul Bielicky/Dreamstime
Las Cuatro Milpas (San Diego, California)
Consistently rated one of the very best Mexican restaurants in the country, Las Cuatro Milpas is a San Diego icon, with hourlong lines snaking down the block almost constantly. Once you try those rolled tacos and tamales, though, you'll know the wait was worth it.Yelp/ Jason P.
Leon's Oyster Shop (Charleston, South Carolina)
Leon's is one of the hottest restaurants in Charleston, a fun and inviting space with a long bar, a stellar raw bar, and some of the city's best fried chicken. Reservations can be tough to come by, but we recommend you set your heart on making one before visiting; if you drop in unannounced, you can expect to wait an hour or more.Yelp/ Tommy M.
Little Miss BBQ (Phoenix, Arizona)
Central Texas-style barbecue has come to Arizona in a big way with Little Miss BBQ, but if you want to sample some brisket and ribs, you're going to have to get in line. And if you want to sample the beef ribs, which are only available on Friday and Saturday, you're going to have to wait even longer.Yelp/ Heather W.
Louis' Lunch (New Haven, Connecticut)
A true culinary historic landmark, Louis' Lunch is widely regarded to be the birthplace of the hamburger as we know it, invented by proprietor Louis Lassen in New Haven, Connecticut in 1900. It remains a decidedly delicious burger, still made according to the original recipe on the same upright broilers. The building itself, however, is absolutely tiny, and it gets pretty packed during the lunch rush. So if you want one of the OG burgers, you're going to have to get there early, and you're going to have to wait in line.Diana M./Yelp
Lucali (Brooklyn, New York)
At Lucali, chef Mark Iacono is serving what very well might be the best pizza in Brooklyn, and it's no secret. Even though Iacono could easily squeeze a few more tables into his Brooklyn restaurant, he likes to keep things spread out, so there's almost always a wait to get in. In fact, would-be patrons sometimes arrive hours before the restaurant opens to get in line; if you show up during prime time expect to camp out for a couple hours first.Yelp/Chris G.
Magnolia Pancake Haus (San Antonio, Texas)
Are the buttermilk pancakes served at San Antonio's Magnolia Pancake Haus the best in the world? Owners Robert and Sheila Fleming are convinced, and you won't find many who've eaten there who disagree. Unfortunately, if you decide to find out for yourself during prime brunchtime, your wait for a table will be a long one.Yelp/Omar M.
Mama's (San Francisco, California)
The cozy Mama's on Washington Square is essentially a perfect breakfast and lunch spot, serving top-notch omelets, house-baked breads and pastries, French toast, pancakes, and sandwiches for more than 50 years. If you want to visit, however, you're going to have to work for it: The line to get in forms long before the restaurant opens, and can stretch on for hours at prime time.Yelp/ David E.
Mother's (New Orleans)
Since 1938, folks have been lining up daily outside Mother's doors to enjoy heaping breakfasts and traditional Cajun specialties. But the real star of the show here is the carving station, where po'boys that are just about perfect are served to those who come to worship at their altar. Your best bet would be to order the Ferdi Special, filled with homemade baked ham (did we mention the amazing ham?), roast beef, gravy, and a special addition that's one of the most delicious foods on Earth: debris (pronounced "DAY-bree"). What's debris, exactly? Shreds of meat and char that fall from the roast beef as it slowly cooks, steeping in rendered fat and juices. You're welcome.Kevin B./Yelp
Nathan's Famous (Brooklyn, New York)
The most famous hot dog stand in the country, and still one of the best. Founded by Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker in 1916, Nathan's may today be a major chain, but a trip to the original stand in Brooklyn's Coney Island is a pilgrimage that everyone should make at least once. Stand in the same line that millions of others have over the years, place your order, and snap into the perfect embodiment of a summer day: the sea, the boardwalk, and an original Nathan's hot dog. There's nothing else like it.Julien Hautcoeur/Dreamstime
Neptune Oyster (Boston, Massachusetts)
The narrow, upscale Neptune Oyster is one of Boston, Massachusetts' most beloved restaurants, serving top-notch oysters, clam chowder, lobster rolls, and other seafood-based specialties. But the combination of being very small, very good, and very popular (and not accepting reservations) has led to very, very long lines to get in.Yelp/ BostonBestEats X.
Nopa (San Francisco, California)
San Francisco's Nopa is bright, casual, fun, and perfect for just about any meal. It has a wide-ranging and accessible menu, which means one thing: It's going to be packed. Pretty much always. If you want to visit this restaurant, which was recently ranked one of America's 101 best, you better get in line.Yelp/Irene X.
Pancake Pantry (Nashville, Tennessee)
The Pancake Pantry is a Nashville legend, going strong since 1961. Batters for their legendary pancakes and waffles are made fresh daily from specialty flours and old family recipes, and the results are truly spectacular. But if you want to experience it for yourself, you're going to have to wait in line. The wait is so long, in fact, that the restaurant has even launched its own Pancake Cam.Lene D./Yelp
Pantry Café (Los Angeles, California)
There's no lock on the door at this nearly 90-year-old Downtown LA institution, which hasn't closed since 1924 and is one of America's best 24-hour diners. Cash-only and with no shortage of long lines, Pantry Cafe is renowned for its ample portions, perfect pancakes and sourdough French toast, apple pie, and French dip sandwich, as well as its steaks.Nadine C./Yelp
Paseo (Seattle, Washington)
Paseo is a Seattle, Washington institution, serving real-deal Caribbean food and absolutely mouthwatering sandwiches, including the famous Caribbean Roast, with roast pork shoulder, aioli, cilantro, romaine, jalapeños, and caramelized onions. The original location isn't much more than a tiny shack, though, and lines often stretch far beyond the front door.Yelp/ Justin C.
Pecan Lodge (Dallas, Texas)
Dallas' most award-winning barbecue joint, Pecan Lodge offers a real Texas barbecue experience. The smokers are fired up 24 hours a day with a mixture of mesquite and oak, sausages are made in-house, and just about everything on the menu is made from scratch, including the otherworldly sides: collard greens, mac and cheese, and fried okra that can't be missed. Get there early to grab your spot in line, because once they run out, they run out.Jonathan E./Yelp
Philippe the Original (Los Angeles, California)
Countless restaurants serve French dip sandwiches, but the definitive version can still be found at the restaurant where it was invented: Los Angeles' 107 year-old Philippe the Original. Bottom round is seasoned with salt, pepper, and mashed garlic, slow-roasted with a mirepoix until medium-rare, and sliced and placed onto a fresh French roll from a local bakery that's been dunked into jus made with homemade stock and the intensely flavored pan drippings. As the creator of one of America's most legendary sandwiches, it's one of LA's most famous restaurants, so be prepared to line up accordingly.Philippe the Original/Yelp
Pink's Hot Dogs (Los Angeles, California)
Located on the prime corner of Melrose and LaBrea in Los Angeles, Pink's has been serving hot dogs to celebrities and tourists alike (but mostly tourists) since 1939. That doesn't mean it's not a detour hot dog lovers passing through town should take: The bacon chili cheese dog is a classic, even if the calorie count isn't Hollywood approved. These dogs (and the whole Pink's experience) are worth the wait in line.Flickr/Ken Lund/CC BY-SA 4.0
Pok Pok (Portland, Oregon)
Chef Andy Ricker's Pok Pok is a Portland icon, serving truly authentic Thai food (including now-legendary wings). If you decide to visit, be prepared to wait; if you visit the Division location, you can at least kill time at Ricker's next-door bar Whiskey Soda Lounge.Yelp/Charlee S.
Primanti Brothers (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Primanti sandwich is a legendary one, with good reason: It's made with French fries stuffed between two thick slices of soft Italian bread, along with meat of your choice, coleslaw, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese. If you visit the original location you should expect to wait in line, but it's one of America's most legendary sandwiches.Primanti Bros./Yelp
Red Iguana (Salt Lake City, Utah)
The best Mexican restaurant in Utah, Red Iguana has been going strong since 1985 and is still family owned. Its massive menu features six different moles (each meticulously handmade), pork doused in red or green chile sauce, slow-roasted cochinita pibil; eight enchiladas, a variety of tacos and burritos, and some outrageous breakfast dishes, among dozens of other specialties. If you're planning on visiting, however, make sure you get there early, or otherwise be prepared to wait.Yelp/Sondi H.
Red's Eats (Wiscasset, Maine)
Widely regarded as serving one of the best lobster rolls in America, Red's Eats is a small roadside stand in the small town of Wiscasset, Maine, and the wait actually begins in your car - this place causes a traffic jam before people even park and get in the actual line. Expect to wait an hour or more for your roll during peak times, but the roll itself is heaping with fresh, wet lobster - so much it falls all over. It tastes just-cooked and -picked, and it's a great deal. Put simply, it's lobster roll perfection.Craig V./Yelp
Regina Pizzeria (Boston, Massachusetts)
Regina is one of Boston's most beloved pizzerias, a North End destination since 1926. It's spawned plenty of additional Massachusetts locations, but the original is still the best, and the one to visit. So get in line, make some friends, and don't worry about the long wait: the end result is some of the best pizza in America.Yelp/ Kathryn B.
Rino's Place (Boston, Massachusetts)
Tucked away in East Boston since the early '90s, Rino's Place is a real-deal Italian restaurant, serving a wide variety of Italian favorites made entirely from scratch. Founded by Rino and Anna DiCenso and today run by their son Anthony, it's widely regarded as being astoundingly delicious, so much so that waits can easily extend to two or three hours for one of the handful of tables. The fact that Guy Fieri dropped by to film a (mouthwatering) "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" segment a few years back didn't do it any favors!Yelp/ Becca P.
Rose's Luxury (Washington, DC)
This small converted townhouse with attached upstairs lounge is the brainchild of chef Aaron Silverman, who branched out on his own after spending time working for the likes of David Chang, Sean Brock, Marco Canora, and George Mendes. Silverman won 2016's James Beard Award for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic for his efforts at Rose's Luxury, and you can see why: His small menu showcases international flavors (occasionally several in one dish) with a decidedly American twist, and even though the selection is small, it's always big on flavor and creativity. If you want to dine at one of the hottest restaurants in town, however, you're going to have to wait in line.Michael U./Yelp
Snooze (Denver, Colorado)
Snooze has locations in Colorado, California, Arizona, and Texas, but that doesn't mean that you won't have to wait for a table. This breakfast destination is only open until 2:30 p.m. daily and doesn't take reservations, which means that no matter which location you visit (especially ones in its hometown of Denver), you're going to have to be patient.Yelp/Reixa C.
Sqirl (Los Angeles, California)
Chef Jessica Koslow's insanely hip Los Angeles restaurant Sqirl is a must-visit (and must-Instagram) hotspot. Its menu is loaded with healthy, unique, well-composed, and stunningly beautiful dishes, many of which have already begun to influence menus nationwide. If you want to sample that famous sorrel pesto rice, though, be prepared to wait.Yelp/Regine D.
State Bird Provisions (San Francisco, California)
What started off as a place to serve fried quail (California's state bird) to the masses ended up as one of the hottest restaurants of 2013, even snagging the James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant of the year, and it's still just as popular as ever. More than 30 small, clever plates are served via dim sum-style rolling carts at State Bird Provisions (it was one of the first non-Chinese restaurants in America to utilize this method), and its very limited reservations policy means that if you want to sample the food, you're going to have to line up.Dean C./Yelp
Swan Oyster Depot (San Francisco, California)
Crowds line up long before the doors open at indispensable San Francisco institution Swan Oyster Depot, a narrow 18-seat counter that's been faithfully serving some of the city's freshest seafood for more than 100 years. Oysters, seafood cocktails, fresh Dungeness crab, chowder, crab Louie, and all sorts of other seafood preparations are made fresh to order by seasoned veterans, and there's just something about sitting at the ancient counter that makes it all taste better. It's a must-visit for seafood lovers, but we suggest you get up early and get in line before it opens if you don't want to be waiting for multiple hours for your stool.Alan T./Yelp
Tim Ho Wan (New York, New York)
The first American location of Tim Ho Wan, which was founded in Hong Kong in 2009 and now has locations in nine countries, opened its doors in New York City in 2016. Hungry diners waited hours for a taste of its legendary dim sum, and the lines are still long today, even though a second location opened in the city last year.Yelp/Rosa Y.
Tom's (Brooklyn, New York)
Occupying a cozy corner storefront in a cute Brooklyn neighborhood since 1936, Tom's is a true honest-to-goodness old-school diner, and when brunchtime rolls around the crowds show up. Lines are known to stretch around the block on the weekends, but it's worth it to experience one of the very best diners in America.Yelp/Megan J.
White House Sub Shop (Atlantic City, New Jersey)
It's hard to imagine a trip to Atlantic City, New Jersey without a stop by the White House Sub Shop to get one of their legendary submarine sandwiches. The family-owned shop opened in 1946 and quickly became one of the most iconic sandwich purveyors on the East Coast. You'll see how popular it is when you arrive - the line often extends out to the street.
White House Sub Shop has over 25 different sandwiches, but one reigns supreme: the White House Special. It starts with a soft, chewy sub roll from Formica Bros. Bakery, which is absolutely loaded with Genoa salami, ham, and provolone. They also add lettuce, tomatoes, onions, red peppers, oil, vinegar, dried oregano, and salt and pepper.Maria P./Yelp
Willie Mae's Scotch House (New Orleans, Louisiana)
You haven't truly had fried chicken until you've had it from Willie Mae's, a legendary restaurant located in New Orleans' Fifth Ward since 1956. The chicken is, simply put, otherworldly. Fried to order, the crust is shiny, craggy, light, not greasy, and shatteringly crisp and crunchy. Underneath, the chicken is impossibly moist and juicy. The humble restaurant doesn't take reservations, so get there early or expect to wait in a long line for a table. But the end result will be worth it, as it's quite possibly the very best fried chicken in America.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development said Wednesday that it would investigate the lending practices of certain mortgage lenders to see if any prospective borrowers had been illegally denied a mortgage because they were pregnant or on short-term disability.
"Lenders have every right to ascertain the incomes of families to determine whether they are eligible for a mortgage loan, but they have no right to use a pregnancy or a short-term disability as a cause to deny that family a mortgage they would otherwise qualify for," Shaun Donovan, the agency's secretary, said in a statement late Wednesday.
The move comes after an article in The New York Times on Tuesday, which reported that lenders were taking a harder look at prospective borrowers, like parents of new babies, whose income has temporarily fallen.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , the two mortgage financing giants, have always required that borrowers have enough income to pay for the loan on closing day and that lenders document that the income is likely to continue for at least three years.
But since disability payments typically do not continue for that long, some lenders will not count it as qualifying income, several mortgage brokers have said. Some lenders may require new mothers, or others on short-term disability, to reapply for the mortgage once they return to work.
"Denying a mortgage to people just because they're having a baby is flat wrong," Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. said in the statement.
If a borrower is on leave at the time of closing, the housing agency said that "lenders must document the borrower's intent to return to work, that the borrower has the right to return to work, and that the borrower qualifies for the loan taking into account any reduction of income due to their leave."
The department said it was also reviewing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's underwriting guidelines to ensure that they do not violate the Fair Housing Act.

Writhing on the ground, his leg splintered, Kevin Ware had only one thing to say to his heartsick Louisville teammates.
"Just go win the game."
The Cardinals did, exploding for a 13-2 run early in the second half that sealed their 85-63 victory over Duke. Now they're headed for Atlanta with their eyes on the national title and Ware's words echoing in their heads.
Top-seeded Louisville - the only No. 1 left - will play Wichita State in the national semifinals next Saturday. In Ware's hometown, no less.
"We want to do this for him," Peyton Siva said. "We know how much it means to him."
Louisville (33-5) was devastated by Ware's injury, which occurred with 6:33 still left in the first half. The sophomore had jumped to try and block Tyler Thornton's 3-point shot but, and as he landed, his right leg snapped midway between his ankle and knee, the bone skewing almost at a right angle. Ware dropped to the floor right in front of the Louisville bench and, almost in unison, his teammates turned away in horror. Thornton grimaced, putting his hand to his mouth as he turned around.
"He stumbled a bit for a second and fell, and his leg wasn't where it should be," Luke Hancock said.
Ware had surgery later Sunday night, and Pitino said he and his son Richard, who recruited Ware, and an equipment manager would spend the night in Indy, along with the team's doctors.
School officials said doctors reset the bone and inserted a rod into the tibia during the two-hour procedure.
Coach Rick Pitino went to help Ware up when he went down - and then saw the player's bone poking through the skin.
"I literally almost threw up," Pitino said, his voice catching. "Then I just wanted to get a towel to get it over that. But all the players came over and saw it."
Louisville forward Wayne Blackshear fell to the floor and Chane Behanan, Ware's closest friend on the team, looked as if he was going to be sick on the court, kneeling on his hands and feet. Hancock patted Ware's chest as doctors worked on the sophomore and Russ Smith walked away, pulling his jersey over his eyes. The arena was silent, and several fans wept and bowed their heads.
Pitino had tears in his eyes as he tried to console his players. Dieng draped an arm around the shoulders of Smith, who repeatedly wiped at his eyes and shook his head.
"It was really hard for me to pull myself together," Smith said. "I didn't ever think in a million years I would ever see something like that. And that it happened, especially, to a guy like Kevin Ware, I was completely devastated."
As the Cardinals (33-5) gathered at halfcourt to try and regroup before play resumed, Pitino called them over to the sideline, saying Ware wanted to talk to them before he left.
"He told us countless times: `Just go win this game for me. Just go win this game. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Just go win this game.' I don't know how he did it. I don't know how he got strength to do it, but he told us to go out there and win."
The injury was so gruesome CBS stopped showing replays of it. Many who saw it were reminded of the horrific broken leg that ended Joe Theismann's NFL career, and the former quarterback was among the many who took to Twitter to wish Ware well, saying, "Watching Duke/ Louisville my heart goes out to Kevin Ware."
Pitino wiped away tears as Ware, whom Smith described as the Cardinals' "little brother" was wheeled off the court. Surgeons reset his leg and inserted a rod in his right tibia during a 2-hour operation at Methodist Hospital. Ware is expected to remain in Indianapolis until at least Tuesday, but the Cardinals hope he can join them in Atlanta, where he moved before he started high school.
"He was groggy, in good spirits," Pitino said when he returned to his hotel late Sunday night after visiting Ware. "He saw us win the trophy and was crying and said it was all worthwhile."
But when play resumed, it was clear the Cardinals' minds were elsewhere. They missed four of their next five shots along with two free throws, and were uncharacteristically sloppy.
"Honestly, we were in shock," Hancock said. "I don't think we did re-group for the rest of the half. I think we were still in such shock. I mean, you could imagine how a team would feel if one of your brothers had this happen to them."
When they went into the locker room, Pitino's message was simple.
"Don't lose the game for Kevin Ware," Smith said. "That's it, really."
The Cardinals had finished the first half on a 12-6 run, and Smith padded that by making all of his free throws when he was fouled on a 3-point attempt. But just as he did against Michigan State, Duke star Seth Curry got hot after halftime, making two 3s in the first three minutes. Mason Plumlee dunked, and the game was tied at 42.
That, however, was all Louisville needed. Clawing for every rebound, diving on the floor for loose balls and cranking the intensity up even higher on their ferocious defense, the Cardinals were not going to lose.
And everyone, Duke included, knew it.
"These guys really came to play," Siva said. "Everybody on the team just wanted to step up for him."
Smith converted a three-point play and Siva followed with a silky-smooth jumper from the top of the key. Just like that, Louisville was off.
Siva had six points during the run, which was only halted by a timeout. But Dieng kept it rolling with a jumper and a tip-in. After Plumlee made a pair of free throws, Hancock made a 3 and Lucas Oil Stadium shook from the thunderous cheers of the Louisville fans.
The Blue Devils were never close again.
Smith finished with 23 points and earned Most Outstanding Player honors for the Midwest Region. Siva added 16 while Dieng had 14 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks.
Plumlee had 17 points and 12 rebounds for Duke. But the Blue Devils (30-6) couldn't overcome a poor start by Curry, who scored all 12 of his points in the second half.
This was only the second time the Blue Devils have reached the regional finals and failed to make it to the Final Four. The only other time? In 1998, when the Blue Devils lost to eventual national champion Kentucky.
"I thought we had a chance there, and then, boom," coach Mike Krzyzewski said. "That's what they do to teams. They can boom you."
This was the first time Pitino and Krzyzewski had met in the regional finals since that 1992 classic that ended with Christian Laettner's improbable buzzer-beater, a game now considered one of the best in NCAA tournament history.
This game will be remembered, too, but for very different reasons.
As the final seconds ticked down, Behanan, put on Ware's No. 5 jersey and stood at the end of the bench, screaming and waving a towel in triumph.
"I don't think we could have gathered ourselves - I know I couldn't have - if Kevin didn't say over and over again, `Just go win the game,'" Pitino said. "I don't think we could have gone in the locker room with a loss after seeing that. We had to gather ourselves. We couldn't lose this game for him.
"We just couldn't."

Eleventh-ranked Iowa State suffered its worst loss of the year tonight in Morgantown, as WVU trounced the Cyclones 102-77. But it's a wild sequence of events late that left both teams charged with flagrant fouls after ISU's Dustin Hogue delivered a flying kick to an opponent while the Mountaineers' Eron Harris earned an ejection for a falcon punch to the neck.
Hogue avoided ejection, earning just a Flagrant One. But look at the style on that kick! Nigel de Jong would be proud.

Rumsfeld, Donald Henry
Donald Henry Rumsfeld, 1932–, American government official, b. Chicago, grad. Princeton (B.A.). A Republican with a reputation as a skilled political infighter, he was a congressman from Illinois from 1963 to 1969, when he resigned to become director of the Office of Economic Opportunity in the Nixon administration. Rumsfeld also served as U.S. ambassador to NATO (1971–73) under Nixon and later as President Ford's White House chief of staff (1974–75). In 1975, Rumsfeld was appointed secretary of defense; in that office he attempted to increase the military budget and deal with various problems of the troubled post–Vietnam War era. After 1977 he worked as a corporate executive until he was named President Ronald Reagan's special envoy to the Middle East (1983–84); he subsequently returned to the private sector.
In 2000, a quarter century after he first served as secretary of defense, he was appointed again to the office by President George W. Bush. Rumsfeld was an advocate of a national ballistic missile defense shield and flexible military forces, and his efforts to transform and modernize the military made him the most significant defense secretary since Robert McNamara. He also, however, became noted for his blunt, sometimes undiplomatic public comments and statements, some of which alienated American allies, and for asserting his authority in a manner that alienated other government officials and some military officers. His standing was also hurt when the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which he strongly advocated and set the parameters for, failed to find weapons of mass destruction and led to an occupation that U.S. forces found more difficult than predicted, in part because they were inadequately prepared for it. The U.S. abuse and tormenting of Iraqi prisoners, revealed in May, 2004, and a result of interrogation techniques developed with Rumsfeld's encouragement, as well as the ongoing insurgent and sectarian violence in Iraq led to calls for his removal, but the president several times reaffirmed his support for Rumsfeld. He resigned in 2006 as the administration moved to change its strategy in Iraq to respond to the increasing insurgency there; Robert M. Gates succeeded him as defense secretary.
See his memoir (2011); biography by B. Graham (2009); J. Mann, Rise of the Vulcans: The History of Bush's War Cabinet (2004); E. Morris, dir., The Unknown Known (documentary, 2013).

Astrophotographer Tyler Allred took this amazing new image of the Andromeda Galaxy, which just appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune. Today's new space porn also includes Jupiter's shrinking spot, digitally-restored moon pics, and an exoplanet.
Here's an old picture of Jupiter's famous red spot, taken by the Voyager spacecraft. According to scientists at U.C. Berkeley, the spot shrunk about one kilometer a day, between 1996 and 2006. We don't know exactly why it's shrinking - or why it changes colors - but it's a storm, and storms have a natural growth and disintegration rate, say scientists.
Meanwhile, it turns out the earliest photographed exoplanet was back in 1998 - a new technique stripped out starlight from a 1998 image to reveal a previously unknown planet orbiting the distant star HR8799. Here's a lovely artist's impression, with the actual image as an inset:
Finally, NASA is digitally restoring and cleaning up images from the lunar probes of 40 years ago, resulting in new images of the moon that include way more detail and depth:

New, innovative software ADVANCE – Drop Shape for contact angle measurement
With ADVANCE – Drop Shape, we have developed a new, innovative software package for measuring contact angle and determining surface free energy (SFE). ADVANCE – Drop Shape is a common software platform for all our laboratory instruments and mobile solutions for analyzing the wetting of solid surfaces.
New, intuitive operating concept and simple programming of fully automated analyses
We have developed a unique operating concept for our new ADVANCE software in which the intelligent user interface organically follows the workflow of a measurement. The relevant functions for each particular step in the measurement are arranged in a 2 x 2 tile matrix and scroll automatically into focus. Only the functions relevant in the context are visible on the screen. Like a modern tablet, ADVANCE achieves to work without ribbons or pop-up windows.
The database design with quick access to measurements and results is also clearly arranged. This includes prepared and flexibly modifiable templates for new measurements which ensure exact reproducibility of measuring conditions. You see the associated image for each measurement when viewing the results and you can subsequently re-evaluate the image at any time using different parameters or methods. There is no need for the tedious saving, loading and management of image files.
With just a few steps, you can create automatic sequences, which include sample positioning, the dosing of various liquids, drop shape analysis and calculation of the SFE. Every single step in such an automation can be repeated as often as necessary. It can also be connected with waiting times or linked to events, such as the dosing needle entering the live view. This provides great flexibility in adapting the automation to the particular analysis.
Robust video analysis with innovative background recording
The analysis of the video image of a drop on a solid surface is the most important step in contact angle measurement. For ADVANCE – Drop Shape, we have optimized the image evaluation performance so that even images with low contrast, reflections or interference due to other objects can be analyzed precisely and reliably. The software evaluates the image automatically and ensures objective results which are independent of user intervention. In doing so, ADVANCE – Drop Shape sets new standards in drop shape analysis.
The live image displays the analyzed drop shape and the contact angle very clearly and continuously updates the image content. A special innovation for measurements carried out with our Drop Shape Analyzers is the automatic background recording of the camera image. This even takes place when no measurement is running. As with modern video recorders, you can pause the live image and go back in time to analyze the preceding period or to save it as a video file. This prevents valuable information from being lost, for example if no measurement has been started at the instant of wetting.
Many scientific evaluation methods for SFE
ADVANCE – Drop Shape works with all common, scientific models for calculating the SFE from contact angles. We have stored the necessary physical liquid data in a comprehensive substance database, which you can expand at will. The precise measurement of surface tension of a pendant drop using our Drop Shape Analyzers enhances the functional scope and enables the interaction between solid surface and liquid to be comprehensively analyzed. This makes it possible for you to characterize the adhesion of a coating or adhesive bond, for example.
