Hofstra Professor Maureen Murphy Recognized for Contributions to the Groundbreaking "Dictionary of Irish Biography"
Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY … Dr. Maureen Murphy, Hofstra University professor of curriculum and teaching and former acting dean of the School of Education, Health and Human Services, is receiving accolades for her work on the editorial board of the newly published Dictionary of Irish Biography, a collaborative project between Cambridge University Press and the Royal Irish Academy. Dr. Murphy was the only American to serve on the Dictionary's editorial board.
Edited by James McGuire, MRIA University College Dublin, and James Quinn, Royal Irish Academy, the Dictionary is considered the most comprehensive and authoritative biographical reference work available in both print and online for Ireland. It includes the lives of Irish men and women who made a significant contribution in Ireland and abroad, as well as those born overseas who had noteworthy careers in Ireland from James Ussher to James Joyce, St. Patrick to Patrick Pearse, St. Brigit to Maud Gonne MacBride, Shane O'Neil to Eamon de Valera, Edward Carson to Bobby Sands. The Dictionary puts their lives into every major library in the world and on the shelves of scholars, journalists, teachers, broadcasters, diplomats and general readers. It will be especially important in helping to sustain Irish studies courses in universities throughout the world.
In February 2010, at the annual meeting of The Association of American Publishers - Professional/Scholarly Publishing Division in Washington D.C., the Dictionary of Irish Biography was honored with the 2009 American Publishers Award for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE) for Best Multivolume Reference work in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
Dr. Maureen Murphy is a distinguished scholar and well-known authority in the areas of Irish folklore, Irish literature, Irish history, curriculum and instruction, and multicultural education. She has also successfully combined these areas in her efforts as director of the Great Irish Famine curriculum, a program funded through a grant from the New York State Education Department. The curriculum received the 2002 Social Studies Program of Excellence Award from the National Council for Social Studies.
She has written more than 100 articles and book chapters and delivered more than 300 invited lectures in 18 countries. Additionally, Dean Murphy was a Fulbright Fellow at University College, Dublin, and twice a State Department lecturer to Egypt. She is the past president of the American Conference for Irish Studies and the past chair of the International Association for the Study of Irish Literatures. She is also the historian of the Irish Hunger Memorial in Battery Park City.

Lodging and Getting There I stayed in Charleston, about a 45 minute drive and then a 30 minute bus ride to the island. Bus transportation efficient but takes time to fill the bus up then a 10 minute ride to the island. The web site looks like more of a advertisement for rentals on the island than for the marathon. Course For such a nice area it is a horrible course. Is has about 5 180 degree turns and boring. Basically run up and down residential streets. Not sure how could be so close to the water but rarely see it. On the plus side, it is flat. They had more pace groups than most marathons. The 3:45 pace group was spot on and entertaining. Medal Of the 25 + marathons I have run, the medal was about the worst I have ever received. It is a cheap, small, thin little disk (can't read the writing on the disk) on a thin Christmas like ribbon. After Race After race food and set-up was above average. Inside a convention center that was air conditioned Summary It is one of the few marathons I have run that I would not recommend.
I rarely ever do reviews..especially poor ones but here goes. Getting there is complicated at best...have to be there 2 hrs early to catch the bus and lots of waiting in traffic. The course was very boring for the 1/2 marathoners and even more so for the full as you run the same course twice. You run through neighborhood streets. No ocean views. The second have of the run is on a golf path? At best; thus very narrow and crowded. On the other hand the weather was great for December...just find some really good music to keep you going.
My expectations were high in that this would be a beautiful marathon along the ocean.... Pros: + weather warm (near 70) and windy + course was shaded by the large trees + lots of great volunteers - friendly + flat course + well organized + course was pretty (trees & nice homes) Cons: - course a little boring (little variation - the whole thing was run on neighborhood streets) - didn't see ocean or beach at all - medal and ribbon were the worst I've ever received - embarrassing really - course too narrow miles 7-11 or so We stayed in Charleston (great city) about a 40 minute drive down (allow for at least 1 hour on race day) - we left our downtown hotel around 5:15 and made it to the shuttle area by 6:10am...shuttles were fine for us....overall if you're looking for a fast time - go for it.....
This was my first marathon in several years so I chose a flat course. The island is beautiful and mostly shady. The crowds were not overwhelming but they were enthusiastic and encouraging. The pre-race pasta dinner was great and I liked that post-race we had a sit-down full meal indoors. I stayed on the island which was I recommend. There was a shuttle to the start from my villa and also a return after the race. Very convenient. It was a wonderful experience. Complaints - they ran out of premium beer at the post race party and I am a beer snob so this irked me. I haven't decided if I like the 'medal' or not. It is certainly different. My wife is using it as a suncatcher in one of our windows.
Did the 2012 half marathon. The weather was perfect - great time of year for this event. The course was through various neighbourhoods - very flat which is awesome. We enjoyed the run and got our best time ever. It was disappointing however that the organizers decided to go cheap. Event tote bags were not provided (in an effort to be environmentally conscious) but they were for sale (in an effort to be revenue conscious). The finisher medals were not secured with ribbon made from cloth or similar material, but with 'present wrapping' ribbon (very cheap). There was only gatorade made from powder at the finish line - no bananas, oranges, bagels, granola bars, yogurt, etc... that you would find at other events. To get anything to eat you had to find the after party and stand in line - not cool after you've just run 13+ miles.
What a great run! Kiawah is absolutely beautiful and I totally enjoyed the island. The run was fast and flat from start to finish. Start was a little congested with a lot of walkers clogging the first mile or so. With the narrow road, it presented a bit of a challenge getting past people but I wanted to run the first mile with my girlfriend who was running the half. Our fault for starting so far back in the pack. Tons of water stations and friendly people. God bless the folks in Kiawah. The run was good overall. If there was one thing that could have made it better, it would be more of a straight run. There was a lot of roads where we went down a street and back that made it a little difficult, but overall I was cool with that.
I picked this race looking for a BQ and to play some golf with my dad. Talking with a local, this was the best weather we could hope for (54, no wind, 95% hum). They've had really high winds in previous years. Humidity wasn't a factor with the lower temps. The only small hills were on the 1st and last miles. I actually liked having all the turnarounds, because otherwise I never saw anyone. The island seemed empty, so don't expect throngs of cheering people. Post race was the best experience I've had at a race. If you are going to golf, do it before the race. Very painful after.
We stayed on Folly because it's 'our beach'. The shuttle parking was fine, but it was slow getting into the lot. I'm glad we didn't leave much later. The course is beautiful, but monotonous. South Carolina potentially has perfect running weather in early December and 2012 was not an exception. Small crowds, long gap in water between 20 and 23 was a bummer.
This was my 28th marathon and it rates as one of the best courses yet. That said, the medal was cheap and like a Christmas ornament and the post race meal was barely edible. Loved the scenery and the incredible amount of lovely women who ran the race. I would recommend it for anyone from a first timer to a serious runner looking for a Boston time.
Flat, fast course, pretty well-organized, good logistics, beautiful location, good weather. The start was very crowed and not especially well organized, and the final 8 miles or so marathoners had to weave past 1/2 marathon walkers on the narrow bike path.

Pretty funny news this week coming out of all places...HOLLYWOOD.
Rob Lowe NFL Handicapping specialist has released his first 2012 NFL predictions.

No official word yet from Manning, the 35-year-old star who missed this season with a neck injury.
Irsay tweeted his response to Lowe, saying "sources" say Lowe will star in an "epic remake" of a porn movie.But ESPN's Chris Mortensen tweeted that Manning's father, Archie, laughed at Lowe's report and said it wasn't true.

Pain au Chocolat
61 comments:
- Tiffany Ann3/30/12, 3:47 PM
I hate that you bake all these amazing foods when I am not home.
ReplyDelete I'm a friend of Peggy's. My daughter and I both drool over your blog, but she is going to die over this recipe. With the exception of fresh strawberries, I don't think there is a food she loves more than Pain au Chocolat! I foresee much rolling in my kitchen as Nana plays with the grandkids and Mama lovingly bakes.
ReplyDeleteI've made croissants and danishes in 2 days, but I like how you broke the process down even further. I've never heard of making them in 4 days, but I imagine this extended way lessons the stress and heightens the enjoyment of making laminated dough. Everything looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteRepliesI think that 2 days would be nice. Especially when I forget to start them for a special event in four days and forget. They can be a lot of work. I really appreciate your comment. thank you.
DeleteI have found the more rises that are very slow and in the refrigerator heightens the flavor of the dough. I often take 3-4 days to make Challah bread. Give it a try both ways and then have a taste...the buttery flavor is so much more intense.
- Replies
Coca River and Cavalla are my favorite as well. I purchased a Cavalla that was a dark roast and it was very strong. At first I didn't like it, but it really grew on me. You HAVE to try the Crio Beans. Oh my. That's all I asked for my birthday and I received about 6 bags...That was a month ago and I just opened my last bag. If you like dark chocolate, they are the greatest fix. I don't know if it's coincidental or not, but I haven't had a cold or the flu this year. I keep telling my husband it's because of all the antioxidants in the Bru. He just laughs.
Wow! Thanks Heidi and Janet for all the banter re Crio Bru. Yes, I knew I could buy it off the internet, but wanted to get my french press at the WS outlet first, on our way to UT. I plan on bringing home Cavalla and Coca River and definitely the Crio Beans. Can't wait. Is this the best cooking blog or what?!?! I've learned so much.
ReplyDelete- Phil A4/3/12, 8:33 PM
I just stumbled upon this recipe. It looks incredible! I just finished the kitchen and can't wait to start cooking. Bread is on the top of my to do list. This recipe just became my first project. Thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDelete SOS Janet we are trying to roll this out and the butter is everywhere! Please give us some advice! We just finished day 2 and our dough does not look the same!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a recipe/technique for the avid baker, as you say. I'm sooooo tempted to begin this today. Should be done in time for Easter! And i have the week off... Thank you for the amazing step-by-step photos. I LOVE that plastic measuring tool you have. I've never seen one before. Where can I find one and does it have a special name? Do these treats freeze well? How do you store them--that is, if they aren't eaten up within minutes ; )
ReplyDeleteRepliesBegin today and you can have them for breakfast on for Easter. I have gotten up at 3:00 a.m. to put them out for a final rise. Crazy. I think the tool you are talking about is a ruler used for quilting. My grandmother was a quilter and gave it to me. I think I was supposed to use it for quilting instead of baking. You can pick one up at a fabric store. They freeze great in a plastic container or ziplock. Just remove them to thaw. That way they will stay crisp. To re-crisp them I just put them in a 300 degree oven for a few minutes. It worked...then they were gone.
- Anonymous4/5/12, 5:47 PM
I went to pastry school in France, it is possible to do it in a day... if you have the time. We made a batch of those and plain croissants almost every day.
ReplyDelete I just made these.Cheat version though!I did all steps in a day.And baked a trial batch earlier and it tasted wonderful!!thank you for the amaziing recipe!=)
ReplyDelete- Anonymous4/24/12, 7:50 AM
I am going to try and make this for my French class's final presentations. I love the step-by-step pictures, but I have a question. Is there a certain amount of time that is too long for the pain au chocolat rolls to be left in the fridge before baking? Thanks! (:
ReplyDelete I think you could leave these in the refrigerator for 24 hours without any problems. IN FACT. You could put them in the freezer. When completely frozen put in a covered container or plastic bag for up to 4 weeks. Remove from freezer, place on cookie sheet and let thaw for about 5 hours. Bon chance.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous5/4/12, 5:24 PM
Janet you are amazing! I just found your site through 'Tipnut' linking to your crusty bread. I have spent a couple hours just going through your blog. I am a sucker for reading comments too. You handle yourself with such maturity and wisdom.
I wish I baked more. :-) I love making bread (when I have time) so I will make the crusty bread (really it is too easy) but this....well this recipe is the piece de resistance of pastry. Thank you for entertaining (and inspiring!) me.
PS Your pictures are amazing. Each one makes me wish I was home in the kitchen instead of at work making Friday go faster by reading your blog.
Sheryl On day two of making these.. you can see the butter through the dough and it's broken through in places.. but it's definitely cold enough :/ hopefully it'll turn out okay, I've bragged to my co-workers that I'm bringing these in on Tuesday haha!
ReplyDeleteRepliesThat's ok. Keep it going. Every now and then I have the exact same thing happen to me. The finished product is always impressive. Your co-workers will praise and adore you forever. Let me know how the pain au chocolate turns out. I'll cross my fingers for you.
DeleteI just baked my test run, the "flawed" ones, if you will. And they turned out great! Waking up at... 2am to let the dough rise for the ones I'm taking to work tomorrow. This is my first time trying to make pastry and I wouldn't have been able to do it without your step by step directions. Thank you!!
DeleteI sure hope your co-workers appreciate all of your hard work. They will be bowing in your honor...if not they should be. Just send them to this post so they can see what you have been through for the past 4 days. They will realize you are one great pastry chef and friend. Congratulations!
- Anonymous6/9/12, 10:29 AM
Hi - I have just discovered your blog and enjoy your clear, detailed advice and photos to show 'how it SHOULD' look!
I have noticed you use and recommend using a pastry cloth. Where did you purchase your cloth - It would be good if you could say the make/brand and if it is still available to buy?
I hope to have a go at your Pain au Chocolat ..... Have you thought about making French Macarons?
Louise - Stansted and Grantham, United KingdomRepliesHi Louse, The pastry cloth that I use is basically canvas fabric. I purchased this from a local kitchen store years ago and have since made my own by purchased canvas from a fabric store and washing it. It works just as well. You could even serge the edges to prevent the fabric from fraying.
French Macaron's are on my bucket list. They are so temperamental. I have taken classes on how to make them, but live at 5,000 feet above sea level. Who what will work for my altitude may not work for your altitude. I will play with them and see if I can master them enough to teach others how to make them. It's so nice to hear from someone "across the pond". I have pure British descent and very proud of it. Thank you for your kind comments.
Oh my gosh... these look like the chocolate croissant thingy you can buy at Panera. I have an addiction to those things. This recipe seems challenging, but I do believe I'm going to give it a try. Thanks for sharing a beautiful recipe.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that I've found your blog. The instruction is very clear and comes with pictures! I've tried this Pain Au Chocolat recipe few days ago. Mine didn't look as beautiful as yours but it tasted really good. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteReplies- Anonymous8/24/13, 6:03 AM
Thay turend out delicous, oh i'm soo happy!!! Thank you soo much, for the time and the pacient to show uss in steps!
I appreciate this recipe for its concise instructions and absolutely amazing photos. However after baking the first batch and having the bread come out completely soggy, I have to say this may be my first and last time using it unless the second batch that I put in without letting rise at the end comes out better. Thanks anyway though.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI'm so sorry to hear that. I have never had that problem before. I have made this recipe many times. It's too much work for a failure and definitely not worth your effort to have them fail. I wish I knew what went wrong. I hope the next batch is a success. The last rising should not be the problem. Let me know the outcome. I'd love to help.
Nope they still came out the same way. When baking it kind of baked in a pool of its own butter.It may have just been a problem with the butter poking through at some points throughout the process? I have a dinky rolling pin so it takes longer to roll out. I'm also kind of picky when it comes to texture so it might just be me. My nephews loved them though :)
ReplyDeleteRepliesI talked with a local pastry chef regarding what the problem could be. He thinks that it's more than likely the butter coming through the dough that caused the problem. He told me that many butters have the addition of water (who know) He only uses European style butter. I have used butter from Costco and had the recipe work great. He, also, suggested using a tapered dowel type rolling pin. He said that it rolls out the dough without much effort. If the butter seems to be coming through the dough, refrigerate until the dough is not so soft. I hope this helps. They are so much work and now I know why they charge over $3.00 each in a bakery. Best of luck.
Okay Janet. I am embarking on this four-day recipe! wish me luck and thanks for the awesome pictures and step-by-step directions.
ReplyDeleteIt's day two! I am about do start this pounding-cold-butter-into-sketchy-dough part. my dough needed more milk than the one cup, but that's always the case when i try to make dough; i think i am baking challenged.
ReplyDeleteDay three done. I am very excited for tomorrow morning. my measurement was a bit off--28 by 14 or so, and when i cut them for some reason i couldn't get an exact 4x7 rectangle. Also needed to keep dusting the bottom of the dough with flour, as that was the only way to keep the butter from leaking out. but i have 12 croissants in the fridge right now, awaiting their moment in the sun tomorrow! wheee! this has been really fun! my shoulders are hurting from all that kneading though.
Thanks again for the step by step instructions! i will let you know how tomorrow morning goes.They turned out delicious! I think my sketchy dough set me back--it never was as soft as yours looks to be in your photos, and the insides weren't as flaky as pain au chocolat at a cafe. but they tasted great. Thanks!

Dear Janet, i'm soo glad that i found your page, and it is truly simple and good. I made some of the recipes and must say they was delicious. Today i'm preparing to make this one. Lets hope it will turn out ok. :)
ReplyDelete Thank you for this wonderfully detailed recipe. My husband and I completed our first run this morning. The instructions are perfect!
In reading through the postings, I note your response to the freezing question. We are experimenting with freezing four, just before the final rise in Day 4.
Another tip: We let two (that had just completed the Day 3 instructions) rise overnight on a cold counter near a cold window, beginning at about midnight; by 7:00 am the next morning, they had risen perfectly. They baked up perfectly and were utterly delicious!
Thank you again for such an expertly explained set of instructions.Hi Janet!
Thank you so much for this recipe. Breaking it down into individual steps with pictures is tremendously helpful for people like me that don't have much experience in kitchens and have difficulty figuring out if everything "looks right."
I do have a couple questions if you would be kind enough to help:
First, I have had some trouble keeping the butter inside the bottom side of the dough when I roll it out. It stays in the edges just fine, but it seems like the dough gets too thin to support the butter underneath and I end up having to use a lot of flour on the counter to keep it all together. Any suggestions on how you hold it together?
I'm also wondering how thick in inches the final sheet of dough should be. Since the amount of flour that ends up going into the dough always seems to vary from the 4 cups the recipe calls for, I think it might be too thick, even when I roll it out to 28 inches. Do you try to make it as thin as possible, or is there a target thickness you are going for?RepliesHi Greg, I talked with a local pastry chef and he gave me a few ideas. He said to use European butter like Plugra for rolling in because it spreads better with the roll in. I have had the same problem you have had. I still muscled through the butter seeming to be chunky in between the layers of dough and the butter breaking through the dough. When that starts to happen put the dough back into the refrigerator for a few minutes. He also said that he uses a tapered french rolling pin. It says that it rolls better, more even and smoother. Who knew? Sometimes the dough doesn't cooperate and it seems hard to get it into the rectangle. I have never paid attention to the thickness to be honest. I'm more concerned about the size 12 x 28-inch rectangle. I hope I have answered all of your questions. Feel free to email me at email@example.com If you have more questions. Good luck.

The newest way to shout out your college is to take a picture of yourself in your tightest college T-shirt, point the camera directly at your cleavage, and post to Twitter.
This is what the girls of the University of Kansas have been doing – and the trend is catching on like wild (prairie) fire.
It's called a "boobment," and now girls from tons of other schools are following suit by posting the pics to Twitter with the hashtag of whatever school they go to and the word "boobs." (Yahoo)

about the exhibition
International Artist-In-Residence
New Works 04.1
Oliver Herring
Brooklyn, NY
March 18–May 09, 2004
about the artistOliver Herring has captivated audiences with performances, knitted objects, and lyrical, movement-based videos. Under Herring's hand these profoundly disparate media are intertwined and constantly tested. They become contemplative, sensual, and pregnant with issues of time and human intimacy.
The elegance of Herring's sculptures, hand-knitted with strands of silver mylar or treated wood, is due to their laborious process and their soulful forms. After weaving a number of solitary objects that reference time and mortality (a queen-size bed, an open coat, an empty chair), Herring worked from video stills to imbue stationary objects with a sense of actual motion. Double Rocker (1999), a life-size rocking chair and body knit out of mylar, shows successive motions of rocking at once—the chair has two backs, and the person that has propelled it is physically shown twice. In the piece a static medium carries the expressive weight of a performance.
In 1999, breaking from the solitary act of knitting, Herring delved further into interactivity with video. Herring loosely choreographs people into synchronized actions that are filmed in stop-motion. The results are minutes-long, looped works that transform humans, movements, and props into compelling sequences. Increasingly he plays with the unpredictable. In the series Basic (2003) he took out ads inviting anyone interested to come work with him in his studio. The videos produced from the improvised sessions feature strangers thrown together into unrehearsed dance-like movements that are paired with music.
Oliver Herring was born in Germany. He received an MFA from Hunter College, New York, NY in 1991 and has lived there since. Solo exhibitions include Palm Beach Institute of Contemporary Art, FL (2002); the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art, OH (2001); the Camden Art Center, London, England (1997); the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY (1996); and the New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York, NY (1993). His work will be included in a forthcoming group show at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY (2004).
about the project
Further increasing the element of chance, for his residency project Oliver Herring has left the studio and formed connections with people in their spaces. The artist conducted photo and video sessions with people he met in San Antonio, letting them determine where and what they would do for the camera. The interactions have yielded distinct pieces that meld aspects of performance with photography. Bridging Herring's past performances, objects, and videos, the project pushes a static medium to become cinematic.
The centerpiece is Do Two Monologues Make a Dialogue?, a linear pair of snapshot sequences that intersect in on a gray wall. The images result from the trust Herring built with people in diverse worlds. One storyline features teenage girls hanging out after school; the other focuses on a young man who teases the camera with his body and his possessions. Like a movie unfolding, each image is a successive moment—until the two worlds collide in the center. For a single photograph, the girls replace the man in his living room, casting doubt on the idea that snapshots are truthful, and suggesting that these stories could be a fiction, with no actual beginning or end.
The Day I Persuaded Two Brothers To Turn Their Backyard Into A Mud Pool is constructed to mimic a newspaper. The editioned piece is filled with images of brothers horsing around in their muddy backyard. The format confounds expectations of an objective, linear story on the very pages of a medium that is assumed to be just that. In another work, a vitrine, strategically frosted, sits atop a long table. Windows have been left clear, framing photos taken backstage at the rodeo. The images are further filtered and fetishized with red and black marker, resulting in a multitude of slightly erotic narratives of cowboys stretching, dressing, and waiting.
With his residency project Oliver Herring has continued an investigation of intimacy while subverting a static medium. Here photography expresses the simultaneously fractured and cohesive nature of life.

I truly believe that our summers in Fargo are more miserable than the summers in Phoenix. Or at least that's what the people I know from Phoenix tell me. That said, I'm planning a trip to San Francisco at some point before they close the Stick. I'm a huge Niner fan, so that means if this all goes through, I'll be in the Bakersfield area at some point over the next couple of years. Of course, I'd say my odds at getting the job right now are still about 2 to one against, but one can only hope, right? 8/18/11

Let's do this. I'll be at a Little League game with Parker's uncle.
lady ags lead lady horns 2-1 top of 3rd
Wish I was in Austin for these next two games. Everyone out there be safe and have a good time.
I thought the baseball game would be on Fox College Sports Central, but it is also the softball game. Brilliant.
This is bull$#@!. So even when Horns baseball is on tv, it's preempted by f-ing softball.
Good news - Etier made two plays in the first inning. On to the bottom of the inning with no score.
How many innings in softball?
Weiss and Walsh singled in the first, but left stranded.
So I try to finally tune in to a baseball game and $#@!ing softball is on? What the $#@! are they thinking? $#@!ing Title 9 Bull$#@!.
1-0 Aggy on bases loaded ground out
2-0 on error by Weiss. On to bottom of the 2nd.
well crap the baseball team is not off to a very good start
There is some ass playing softvall
the softball team needs a HR so they can win and so we can see the baseball game
Felts leadoff single. Lusson gives up an out. Maitland files out. Etier whiffs. Now 11 straight scoreless innings for Stripling against us.
okay I was close with the softball game! lol
way to go girls, now lets play some damn ball
Suck it, Aggy!!
Hooray girls! Party at my house!
Aggies' hearts ripped out again. Now get the game on.
Augie is spending too much time with his local restaurant/cooking show and not enough time on fundamentals. These errors are killing them..
Wow. We are really making thismguy pitch alot.
Wtf are our fans doing in the front row?
that fan needed to make a play on that foul ball. You cant ever let an aggy go into the stands and take one away from you.
The anti-Bartman. He will have his life ruined now.
Turned the tv on just in time to see Weiss' second error. Beautiful.
well damn it all to poop! down 3-0 already not cool
Goddamn, $#@!ty coed softball teams play better defense than this.

They seem to be one of those bands that makes metalheads apoplectic at the very mention of their name. I've heard very little of them but they just seem "meh" to me-nothing special but certainly nothing that would cause a rage seizure.
Does the venom stem from a specific place? Or are they just one of the metal community's sacrificial lambs?

By Pam Eastlick
Welcome to The Deep science and technology column where we cover topics from the deep sea to deep space and beyond. Visit our website at www.thedeepradioshow.com
Greetings and welcome to another romp through the annals of science. This week, we're visiting the medical file and learning more about the stuff that makes us sick. And our first question is, How long has it been since you went to the dentist? As it turns out, not only is it good for your teeth, it's also good for your heart.
Scientists have known for quite a while, that a protein associated with inflammation (called CRP) is elevated in people who are at risk for heart disease. But where's the inflammation coming from? A new research study by Italian and British scientists shows that those sore and painful infected gums may be one place. According to the study, proper dental hygiene should reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis, stroke and heart disease independently of other measures, such as managing cholesterol. The researchers say that something as simple as taking good care of your teeth and gums can greatly reduce your risk of developing several serious diseases.
To reach this conclusion, the scientists examined the carotid arteries of 35 otherwise healthy people (median age 46) with mild to moderate periodontal disease before and after having their periodontal disease treated. One year after treatment, the scientists observed a reduction in oral bacteria, immune inflammation and the thickening of the blood vessels associated with arteriosclerosis.
Because of our vast love of sweets here in America (more on that later), many of us have gum disease. It turns out that the health of our blood vessels could be hanging by the proverbial thread: dental floss.
Have you flossed lately? Researchers have also recently come up with new ways to deal with those pesky disease-causing bacteria. Read on!
We are at constant war with the disease bacteria and though they have no brains to think with; their sheer numbers often overwhelm us. They have other weapons too. For instance, to protect themselves from human defenses, disease-causing bacteria have evolved a cell wall made from a nearly impenetrable tangle of tightly woven strands that has made it difficult for scientists to see what goes on inside these potentially deadly organisms. But that era is now over. Rockefeller University researchers have now figured out how to drill holes through the Kevlar-like hide of gram-positive bacteria without obliterating them, and in doing so, they've made it possible to study, from the inside out, most of the known bacteria on the planet.
The work, led by Vincent A. Fischetti, head of the Laboratory of Bacterial Pathogenesis and Immunology, provides, for the first time ever, a look inside the rapidly multiplying and highly contagious Streptococcus pyogenes, the culprit behind a myriad of diseases, including strep throat and rheumatic fever. At a time when organisms are increasingly acquiring "superbug" powers, Fischetti has used the technique to look specifically at a well-known enzyme called sortase A and its distribution inside the cell. Common to all gram-positive bacteria, the enzyme functions by allowing these bacteria to anchor to your cell walls and breach their defenses.
If you can keep the bacteria from attaching to cell walls, they can't cause infections. So if the researchers can figure out how sortase A works inside the cell, the more ways they can keep the bacteria from attaching. Although the researchers worked with S. pyogenes, the approach could work on any gram-positive bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, which is increasingly becoming resistant to even our strongest antibiotics.
The technique relies on enzymes produced by viruses, called bacteriophages, which attack only bacteria. Unlike antibiotics, which take time to take effect, phage enzymes strike with blitzkrieg speed, preventing bacteria from mustering a defense. Normally, these enzymes destroy their target, leaving nothing but cellular debris behind. That's because the pressure inside a bacterium is like a champagne bottle: Once it's opened, it explodes.
Dr. Fischetti figured out how to poke holes in S. pyogenes while keeping the bacteria intact. These holes provide an entryway for chemicals that fluoresce when they attach to molecules inside the altered bacteria, allowing scientists to visualize, from the inside out, what makes these single-celled powerhouses infectious.
In the past, if scientists wanted to study what goes on inside bacteria, they were largely limited to working with nonpathogenic types whose cell walls could be punctured with established methods. The new technique, however, allows them to directly study pathogenic bacteria and ask specific questions about them.
The research is ongoing and the scientists on the project have already discovered that sortase A is involved not only in the structures of the cell wall, but also in the division process in the bacteria.
Since strep bacteria divide every 20 or 30 minutes under optimal conditions knowing how to stop or slow down the division could be very important. And scientists now have a new awl in their toolbag, to punch some very important holes!
Seeing through walls. An experiment shows that when dividing strep bacteria are stripped of their surface proteins (left), they begin to grow back in just minutes. One surface protein, protein M (green), anchors to the spot where sortase A (red) assembles. Before the bacteria finish dividing (right), sortase A has already begun to migrate to the new site of division. (Credit: Image courtesy of Rockefeller University)
If you're an avid reader of this column (and I know you all are!) you already know that I have issues with MRSA, the superbug mentioned in the last item. And I know all about the division rate because a MRSA infected bite on my side came within millimeters of punching a hole through my plural lining and into my lungs and it happened in less than 48 hours. So, the next article is of personal interest to me!
Scientists from the New York Institute of Technology have recently demonstrated that two common strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, (commonly known as MRSA), were virtually eradicated in the laboratory by exposing them to a wavelength of blue light, in a process called photo-irradiation.
Antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections represent an important and increasing public health threat. Penicillin is completely ineffective on 95% of the various strains of Staphylococcus while approximately 40%-50% of S. aureus strains have developed resistance to newer antibiotics like methicillin as well.
The NYIT researchers had previously shown that when you exposed lab-cultured MRSA to blue light with a wavelength of 405-nm, the bugs died. The problem is that 405-nm blue light is in the ultraviolet range. Now they've used blue light with a wave length of 470-nm and have discovered that that kills MRSA as well.
The two MRSA populations studied (the US-300 strain of CA-MRSA and the IS-853 strain of HA-MRSA) represent prominent community-acquired and hospital-acquired strains, respectively. The authors reported that the higher the dose of 470-nm blue light, the more bacteria were killed. High-dose photo-irradiation was able to destroy 90.4% of the US-300 colonies and the IS-853 colonies.
Since MRSA lives on surfaces, a blue light bath should kill large numbers of the little buggers. The effectiveness of the blue light treatment also suggests that it could be effective on people as well, particularly in skin infections of the disease.
Perhaps someday soon, every hospital room, examination room, operating room and treatment room will be equipped with blue lights. They could be left on overnight if their light was annoying to people and they could work at destroying MRSA, using mechanisms that wouldn't lead to further antibiotic resistance. Gives a whole new meaning to "Blue Light Special", doesn't it?
And for our last little item, we come to something I've long suspected. You just have to look at all the sodas, King Car tea and beer that are everywhere on this island; and then look at island waistlines.
According to scientists at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, when it comes to weight loss, what you drink may be more important than what you eat. Researchers examined the relationship between beverage consumption among adults and weight change and found that weight loss was positively associated with a reduction in liquid calorie consumption and liquid calorie intake had a stronger impact on weight than solid calorie intake.
The researchers discovered that a reduction on calorie intake for both liquids and solids caused weight loss initially but at the six-month follow-up, only reduction in the liquid calories made any difference. Of the seven types of beverages examined, sugar-sweetened beverages were the only beverages significantly associated with weight change."
Researchers conducted the study using 810 adults aged 25-79 years old. They measured their height and weight at 6, 12 and 18 month intervals. Their dietary intake was measured by calling the participants periodically and asking them about their caloric intake during the previous 24 hours.
Researchers divided beverages into several categories based on their calorie content and nutritional composition. There was sugar-sweetened beverages (regular soft drinks, fruit drinks, fruit punch, or high-calorie beverages sweetened with sugar), diet drinks (diet soda and other "diet" drinks sweetened with artificial sweeteners), milk (whole milk, 2 percent reduced-fat milk, 1 percent low-fat milk, and skim milk), 100 percent juice (100 percent fruit and vegetable juice), coffee and tea with sugar, coffee and tea without sugar and alcoholic beverages. They discovered that sugar-sweetened beverages were the leading source of liquid calories. (Hmm . . . no surprises there!)
Liquid calorie consumption has increased in parallel with the obesity epidemic. Earlier studies by Bloomberg School researchers project that 75 percent of U.S. adults could be overweight or obese by 2015 and have linked the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages to the obesity epidemic . Obesity affects two-thirds of adults and increases the risk for adverse health conditions such as type 2 diabetes. The researchers recommend limited liquid calorie intake among adults and to reduce sugar-sweetened beverage consumption as a means to accomplish weight loss or avoid excess weight gain.
So . . . are you sitting there reading this with that coke can in your hand or that big bottle of King Car? Do you realize that the King Car bottle contains over a QUARTER CUP of sugar? Do you still wonder why you can't lose weight?
And if you decided that you really couldn't stand diet soft drinks back in the day, I suggest you give them a try again. Most diet soft drinks are sweetened with protein sweeteners and guess what? Protein denatures at high temperatures and if you let those soft drink pallets sit out on the dock; they get hot. The protein denatures and the drinks taste AWFUL!
Although there's been no publicity, the shippers did finally figure this out and as near as I can tell, most of the diet drinks now arrive on Guam with their sweeteners intact. So give the diet drinks another try. You might be surprised. And you'll probably lose some weight as well!
When it comes to weight loss, what you drink is more important than what you eat!

Contents |
In Joomla! an Article is a piece of content consisting of text (HTML), possibly with links to other resources (for example, images). Articles are the basic units of information in the content system and the bottom level in the content hierarchy. Since Joomla! 2.5 , each Article is in exactly one Category. A Category can be in another Category making it a sub Category. It is also possible to have Uncategorised Articles. These articles exist without being associated with any Category.
Before Joomla! 2.5 and earlier versions, an Article was the third level in the hierarchy Sections → Categories → Articles. Now an Article is a bottom level and will alway be the second level or greater in hierarchy.
Articles are maintained using the Article Manager (see the Content Article Manager for or the Content Article Manager for ) which can be reached in the Administrator (Back-end) by clicking on the Content menu, then the Article Manager menu item.
See also: Category
In Joomla! a Category is a collection of Articles. In Joomla! a website might have Categories called "Animals" and "Plants". Within the "Animals" Category, the website might have Sub Categories such as "Birds" and "Mammals". Within the "Birds" Category, the website might have Articles such as "Parrots" and "Sparrows".
The example above could be expanded even more with specific articles on different species of Parrots and Sparrows. Start with using an "Animal" Top Category. Placing the Sub Categories "Birds" and "Mammals" are under the Animal category, and then a "Parrots" and "Sparrows" Sub Category under the "Birds" Sub Category as shown.
Now you can create multiple articles in the Parrot and Sparrow Categories.
Categories are maintained using the Category Manager which can be reached in the Administrator (Back-end) by clicking on the Content menu, then the Category Manager menu item.

The visible graphical interface features of an application are sometimes referred to as chrome. See Applying custom module chrome for information about how to modify the look of modules (in other words, the module "chrome").
A component is a kind of Joomla! extension. Components are the main functional units of Joomla!; they can be seen as mini-applications. An easy analogy would be that Joomla! is the operating system and the components are desktop applications. They are usually displayed in the center of the main content area of a template (depending on the template).
Most components have two main parts: an administrator part and a site part. The site part is what is used to render pages when being called during normal site operation. The administrator part provides an interface to configure and manage different aspects of the component and is accessible through the Joomla! administrator application.
Joomla! comes with a number of core components, like the content management system, contact forms and Web Links.

An extension is a software package that extends your Joomla! installation in some way. A small selection of extensions is included with the default Joomla! installation but many more are available from the Joomla! Extensions Directory.
The term extension is generic and the following specific extension types are available (listed alphabetically):
For an overview of the most important extension types and the functionality they provide, see Extension types (general definitions).
Version 1.5 of Joomla! changed the way that third-party Extensions work with the Joomla! core programs. Extensions written for version 1.0 need to be modified in order to use the new 1.5 methodology. To allow for backward compatibility with existing 1.0 Extensions, a Plugin called "System - Legacy" is included with Joomla! 1.5. This Plugin allows many Extensions developed for version 1.0 to work with version 1.5. This Plugin is disabled by default and must be enabled before you can use any Extensions in "Legacy" mode. It can be enabled from the Plugin Manager screen.
Extensions that have been tested by the Extension provider to work using the Legacy Plugin are labeled as "1.5 Legacy". Extensions that use the new 1.5 methodology are labeled as "1.5 Native". In general, "1.5 Native" Extensions will perform somewhat faster than "1.5 Legacy", because the Legacy Plugin requires one extra layer of processing. Over time, it is expected that the majority of Extensions will be available in "1.5 Native" mode.
Modules are lightweight and flexible extensions used for page rendering. These modules are often "boxes" arranged around a component on a typical page. A well-known example is the login module. Modules are assigned per menu item, so you can decide to show or hide (for example) the login module depending on which page (menu item) the user is currently on. Some modules are linked to components: the "latest news" module, for example, links to the content component (com_content) and displays links to the newest content items. However, modules do not need to be linked to components; they don't even need to be linked to anything and can be just static HTML or text.
Modules are managed in the Joomla! Administrator view by the Module Manager. More information about module management can be found on the appropriate version help screens.

The term patch file is used for two different file types. The term patch file is sometimes used to refer to archive files that allow you to upgrade from one Joomla! version to another (for example, from version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.7). These upgrade files are also referred to as upgrade packages.
The other meaning for a patch file is a file created by source code version control software -- for example, Subversion or SVN, which is used for the Joomla! source code. This type of patch file contains instructions for changing the contents of one or more source code files. The SVN software reads the patch file and then can automatically change the source code of the files being patched.
Patch files are used by the Bug Squad to test proposed bug fixes. They can also be used to contribute proposed new features to the version under development. For more information about the structure of SVN patch files, read Learn more about patch files.
PHP is a computer scripting language designed for creating dynamic web pages. PHP is widely-used for web development and can be embedded into HTML. It generally runs on a web server, taking PHP code as its input and creating web pages as output. Joomla! is primarily written using the PHP language. For more information, see Where can you learn about PHP? For more information see: Where can you learn about PHP?
A plugin is a kind of Joomla! extension. Plugins provide functions which are associated with trigger events. Joomla provides a set of core plugin events, but any extension can fire (custom) events. When a particular event occurs, all plugin functions of the type associated with the event are executed in sequence. This is a powerful way of extending the functionality of the Joomla! Platform. It also offers extension developers a way to allow other extensions to respond to their actions, making extensions extensible.
The Joomla! plugin architecture follows the Observer design pattern. The JPlugin class provides the means to register custom plugin code with core or custom events. The JDispatcher class (JEventDispatcher in Joomla 3.x) is an event handler which calls all plugins registered for a particular event, when that event is triggered.
See also: Component, Module, Template
In Joomla! versions up to and including , a Section is a collection of Categories. It is the top level in the hierarchy Sections -> Categories -> Articles. For example, a website might have Sections called "Animals" and "Plants". Within the "Animals" Section, the website might have Categories such as "Birds" and "Mammals".
Sections are maintained using the Section Manager (help screen) which can be reached in the Administrator (Back-end) by clicking on the Content menu, then the Section Manager menu item.
Search-engine friendly URLs. Normal Joomla! URLs look something like this:
You can optionally have URLs display to look like static HTML pages like this:
Joomla! 1.5 has built-in optionos for SEF URLs. These are enabled by changing the "SEO Settings" in the Site tab in the Global Configuration screen in the Joomla! back end. There are also third-party extensions that create SEF URLs for Joomla!.
A template is a type of Joomla! extension that changes the way your site looks. There are two types of templates used by the Joomla! CMS: Front-end Templates and Back-end Templates. The Front-end Template controls the way your website is presented to the user viewing the website's content. The Back-end Template controls the way your website's administrative tasks are presented for controlling management functions by a Joomla! Administrator. These would include common tasks such as: user, menu, article, category, module, component, plugin and template management.

Only 13% of consumers would be happy to store their credit card details on their smartphone, according to a new survey from The Logic Group.
The report again highlights the consumer mistrust of mobile technology, as only 30% of consumers trust major retailers to keep their personal information safe.
This is potentially a huge problem for online retailers as offering to store card details is seen as a way of improving the mobile checkout process and encouraging repeat purchases.
Furthermore, only a third of consumers said that they would be happy for their mobile to house their loyalty cards.

Last year saw a number of interesting developments in mobile payments, most notably Visa's NFC trials and the battle for dominance among mobile card readers.
However one UK startup is hoping to steal a march on its competitors with a new mobile app that allows users to transfer money and make payments for free.
Droplet has already achieved success among merchants and consumers in Birmingham and now aims to take its service nationwide.

While mobile commerce is growing, one area for improvement is the checkout process. Sometimes it's just too much hassle to pay by mobile.
However, while other devices are better for browsing a range of products before making a considered purchase, a simple mobile checkout can be an effective method of capturing impulse and repeat shoppers.
To make the most of this opportunity m-commerce sites need to make the purchase journey as short as possible, and one way of doing this is by saving the customer's credit card and delivery details so future purchase can be completed just by entering a username and password.

The mobile space is one of the fastest-evolving in all of the technology world and because of that, it's no surprise that many companies are struggling to keep up.
From the smallest business struggling to figure out how to build a mobile-friendly website to the largest consumer internet brands struggling to build compelling mobile experiences, mobile offers just as many challenges as it does opportunities.

Around the globe, our retail spending habits are transforming and mobile is a big part of that.
$1 out of every $10 is spent online and nearly half of Americans are interested in paying with a mobile wallet. In the US, 42% of all mobile subscribers have smartphones and 3.6% of online payments are currently made via them.

Mobile commerce is set to revolutionise the way that consumers engage with brands, but marketers don't seem to be putting it to good use yet.
According to KPMG, mobile payments are set to reach £591bn by 2015 while Gartner predicts that 190m people will use their mobile to make payments in the next 24 months.
The potential for marketers is obvious, however in order to take advantage of this growing market they must first understand the full scope of what mobile payments entail.

PayPal has announced that its UK customers will now be able to use their smartphones to pay for goods on the high street.
The PayPal inStore app can be used at stores owned by the Aurora Fashions group, which include Coast, Oasis, Warehouse and Karen Millen.
Available on Android and iOS, the app gives PayPal a huge head start on its rivals in the mobile payment industry.
As previously reported, NFC is the technology that most people assume will eventually become the standard for mobile payments and Visa is planning a limited trial during the London Olympics.

Despite all of the well-documented challenges facing organizations that are trying to take advantage of the rapid rise of mobile, mobile presents what may be one of the greatest business opportunities for many companies.
It's not hard to understand why: there are estimated to be more than 5.5bn handsets in use globally today, making the mobile phone one of the most ubiquitous devices ever.
In developed and emerging nations, a growing number of those phones are smartphones that offer always-on access to the web.

Wireless security and Linux
Access Point
If you are looking for a cheap and secure wireless router setup, check out Tomato, DD-WRT, or OpenWrt.
I actually remember when I bought my first wireless network card. I was in Vancouver airport, and they were selling them for about US$ 200 with unlimited usage in the airport (as opposed to having to rent one for US$ 20 an hour). At that time, I was spending a lot of time in this airport, so I purchased a card and had a whopping 2Mbps (802.11a) of bandwidth to use while waiting. This purchase was quickly followed by a wireless router so I could enjoy the wireless goodness at home.

In 2012, Americans spent an estimated $5.5 billion on Small Business Saturday. To many, this year's event on Nov. 30 fell right in line as another big shopping day along with the big-box phenomenons of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
