Update for July 28, 2008 - Case count information as of 9 pm EDT, July 27, 2008
Click Here for Advice to Consumers
CDC is collaborating with public health officials in many states, the Indian Health Service, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to investigate an ongoing multi-state outbreak of human Salmonella serotype Saintpaul infections. An initial epidemiologic investigation in New Mexico and Texas comparing foods eaten by persons who were ill in May to foods eaten by well persons identified consumption of raw tomatoes as strongly linked to illness. A similar but much larger, nationwide study comparing persons who were ill in June to well persons found that ill persons were more likely to have recently consumed raw tomatoes, fresh jalapeño peppers, and fresh cilantro. These items were commonly, though not always, consumed together, so that study could not determine which item(s) caused the illnesses.
Recently, many clusters of illnesses have been identified in several states among persons who ate at restaurants. Most clusters involve fewer than 5 ill persons. Three larger clusters have been intensively investigated. In one, illnesses were linked to consumption of an item containing fresh tomatoes and fresh jalapeño peppers. In the other two, illnesses were linked to an item containing fresh jalapeño peppers and no other of the suspect items. Other clusters are under active investigation. The accumulated data from all investigations indicate that jalapeño peppers are likely to be a major cause of this outbreak. Fresh serrano peppers and fresh tomatoes remain under investigation. Investigators from many agencies are collaborating to track the source of the implicated peppers and other produce items.
An FDA laboratory detected Salmonella Saintpaul with the outbreak strain fingerprint pattern in a sample of jalapeño pepper obtained from a distribution center in McAllen, Texas. The distributor is working with FDA to recall the contaminated product in the United States. The peppers were grown in Mexico; investigators are working to determine where they were contaminated.
Since April, 1304 persons infected with Salmonella Saintpaul with the same genetic fingerprint have been identified in 43 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. These were identified because clinical laboratories in all states send Salmonella strains from ill persons to their State public health laboratory for characterization. The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: Alabama (3 persons), Arkansas (19), Arizona (56), California (11), Colorado (16), Connecticut (5), Florida (3), Georgia (40), Idaho (6), Illinois (115), Indiana (20), Iowa (2), Kansas (21), Kentucky (2), Louisiana (2), Maine (1), Maryland (38), Massachusetts (29), Michigan (25), Minnesota (22), Mississippi (2), Missouri (20), Montana (1), New Hampshire (5), Nevada (13), New Jersey (14), New Mexico (106), New York (39), North Carolina (28), Ohio (10), Oklahoma (25), Oregon (11), Pennsylvania (13), Rhode Island (3), South Carolina (2), Tennessee (9), Texas (495), Utah (2), Virginia (31), Vermont (2), Washington (17), West Virginia (1), Wisconsin (13), and the District of Columbia (1). Five ill persons are reported from Canada; four appear to have been infected while traveling in the United States, and one illness remains under investigation.
Among the 1261 persons with information available, illnesses began between April 10 and July 13, 2008, including 37 who became ill on July 1 or later. These numbers include those with estimated onset dates as well as those with reported onset dates. The latest reported onset date is July 12. The latest estimated onset date is July 13. Patients range in age from <1 to 99 years; 50% are female. The rate of illness is highest among persons 20 to 29 years old; the rate of illness is lowest in children 10 to 19 years old and in persons 80 or more years old. At least 252 persons were hospitalized. A man in his eighties who died in Texas from cardiopulmonary failure had an infection with the outbreak strain at the time of his death; the infection may have contributed to his death. A man in his sixties who died in Texas from cancer had an infection with the outbreak strain of at the time of his death; the infection may have contributed to his death.
The outbreak can be visually described with a chart showing the number of persons who became ill each day. This chart is called an epidemic curve or epi curve. Please see Interpretation of Epidemic Curves During an Active Outbreak. It shows that the number of persons who became ill peaked during May and decreased in June. The average number of persons who became ill between May 20 and June 10 was 33 per day. The average number of persons who became ill between June 11 and June 20 was 19 per day. The outbreak appears to be ongoing, but with fewer new illnesses reported each day. Illnesses that occurred recently may not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported. This takes an average of 2-3 weeks. Please see the Salmonella Outbreak Investigations: Timeline for Reporting Cases for more details regarding the 2-3 week time period.
Only 6 persons infected with this strain of Salmonella Saintpaul were identified in the country during April through June of 2007. The previous rarity of this strain and the distribution of illnesses in all U.S. regions suggest that the implicated food is distributed throughout much of the country. Because many persons with Salmonella illness do not have a stool specimen tested, it is likely that many more illnesses have occurred than those reported. Some of these unreported illnesses may be in states that are not on today's map.
Health officials have worked continuously since late May to investigate this outbreak. CDC has sent 38 people to the field, which includes seven epi-aid investigations, to work with other public health officials. The investigation is complex and difficult. One difficult aspect is that people often have difficulty remembering exactly what foods they ate, and remembering specific ingredients in those foods is even more difficult. Although laboratory testing of foods might help identify the source, perishable foods that were consumed by ill persons are often not available to test. When food items are mixed together and consumed in the same dish, all the items may be statistically linked to illness. In that case, determining by statistical means which item caused the illness can be difficult or impossible. Tracing suspect produce items back to processors and growers is an integral part of the effort to identify a single source and a possible means of contamination.
Most persons infected with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps 12-72 hours after infection. Infection is usually diagnosed by culture of a stool sample. The illness usually lasts 4-7 days. Although most people recover without treatment, severe infections may occur. Infants, elderly persons, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely than others to develop severe illness. When severe infection occurs, Salmonella may spread from the intestines to the bloodstream and then to other body sites, and can cause death. In these severe cases, antibiotic treatment may be necessary.
FDA is advising consumers that they should avoid raw jalapeño peppers and foods that contain them if they were grown, harvested, or packed in Mexico. Jalapeño and serrano peppers grown in the United States are not connected with this outbreak. Commercially canned, pickled, and cooked jalapeño peppers are also not connected with the outbreak.
This new advisory is based on evidence gathered during a multi-week, intensive investigation conducted in partnership with FDA and several states to find the source of the contamination which led to the outbreak.
FDA continues to advise persons in high risk populations, such as the elderly , infants, and those with impaired immune systems to avoid eating raw serrano peppers from Mexico or food made from raw serrano peppers from Mexico until further notice.
FDA has indicated that tomatoes on the market today are safe to consume.
Consumers everywhere are advised to follow the general food safety guidelines below:
Consumers are reminded that vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet and that cooking vegetables kills bacteria, including Salmonella.

Pigs cluster around a food stall like Black Friday shoppers waiting for a store to open.
One pushes impatiently against the locked door with her snout, waiting for the sow inside to finish eating so she can take her turn.
After about 10 minutes, the sated sow sidles out the front gate and rejoins about 80 other pregnant pigs in a large pen surrounding the food stall. The hungry pig enters the stall through the now-open back door, and food flows in from a computer-controlled dispenser.
The big pens and electronic feeding systems at Fair Oaks Farms could be the future of the pork industry as consumers pressure farmers to move pregnant pigs out of individual stalls too narrow for the animals to turn around.
However, the switch from gestation stalls is not as simple as many consumers believe. It's expensive; there are debates over pen designs; and it takes time to train pigs to use feeders and other equipment. In short, farmers are spending millions of dollars with no certainty yet that the changes are best for the animals.
Most bacon, ham and chops come from hogs that never spend time in the narrow breeding stalls, though the hogs' mothers almost certainly did — if only a few days for insemination. More than 4 out of 5 sows in the U.S. remain in the stalls after they become pregnant, according to a 2012 study done for the National Pork Producers Council.
But a growing number are being moved into group pens as industry giants like Smithfield Foods and Cargill try to protect their brands from criticism by animal rights activists. Other major pork processors who have not required farms to convert are seeing some do so because image-conscious buyers, such as McDonald's, Oscar Mayer and Safeway, have called for an end to gestation crates.
Americans pig out on pork, eating an average of 45 pounds per person each year. Sales were worth more than $97 billion in 2011, according to industry groups.
Most of the hogs bought by Indiana Packers Corp., a major meatpacker, come from open-pen gestation and have for several years, President Gary Jacobson said. The switch has been hastened by laws in Michigan and Ohio requiring farmers to phase out gestation stalls by certain dates, but Jacobson said it also makes business sense.
"Given the controversy with the gestation crates, we would encourage people to look at the alternatives for that," he said.
The alternatives aren't cheap. Malcolm DeKryger, a partner in Fair Oaks' hog farm, said a 2,400-pig barn with gestation stalls typically costs about $1.8 million. The feeding system, other equipment and extra space required for group pens can push the cost to $2.5 million. He and his partner spent even more because their farm, about 1.5 hours south of Chicago, has observation areas for tourists.
DeKryger isn't entirely sold on group pens, which remind him of the farms where he worked as a teenager.
"We would throw feed over the gate, and the sows would all go crazy … one sow would eat three times as much, and others would get gypped or didn't eat enough. And that system is happily gone," he said.
Gestation stalls became standard in the 1980s and enabled farmers to feed each sow individually. The stalls also prevented pecking-order fights and injuries caused by sows mounting each other.
Better technology addresses some of those problems in group pens. The sows at Fair Oaks go through a monthlong boot camp at about 6 months old to learn to use electronic feeders that ensure each one eats the right amount.
A scanner reads the sow's ear tag when she enters the stall, and computer-controlled equipment dispenses the recommended portion, usually about 5 pounds. When the sow leaves, the door can open either to the right for veterinary care or left to the group pen.
Farm workers are testing other ways to reduce conflict that can injure smaller sows and cause them to miscarry. For example, pigs in groups scrum to establish a pecking order. Fair Oaks workers aim to move sows into 80-pig pens all in one day so the order can be set and peace established. Later additions would cause new fights.
An alternative is to place sows in groups too big for them to notice when a new animal enters.
DeKryger said it's too soon to tell which method works best in reducing fights. And no system is perfect.
On a recent day, a bigger sow muscled her way into line at the feeder like a mean girl in middle school. A sow in another pen mounted a smaller one, leaving it with a limp. Yet another sow got its foot caught under rail, squealing and thrashing about until a worker freed it.
A foot or leg injury can mean death to a hog, and studies have shown such injuries are slightly more common in group pens than individual stalls because the animals move more.
"We can't fix a broken bone," DeKryger said. "If they dislocate a hip, we have to euthanize."
He has five other farms in Indiana, most with gestation stalls, and said he's not sure what he would build next. Group housing requires more space and therefore a bigger investment. Thus far, he's seen no payoff in healthier animals or profits.
But, he said, "if my ultimate customer says this is what I know and want — and that's a very dicey observation … is it smart for me to say, eh, you aren't qualified to know what I do, so I'm just going to tell you to take a hike?"

Web Apps As First Class Citizens
My biggest ongoing complaint about the new breed of evolved mobile applications is that, at least in some ways, they feel like a tremendous step backwards in terms of developer productivity and ubiquitous access. Sure, the iPhone and Android development platforms let you take advantage of some fantastic device-specific features such as the accelerometer and location based services. And I guess if you're already a Mac developer, using Objective-C and Cocoa feels natural enough for iPhone development.
But as more traditional desktop applications move to the web -- to the cloud -- it just seems downright odd to me that we're forced to learn yet another set of platform-specific tools to develop new interfaces for our existing web apps in the mobile space. Fortunately, new solutions are emerging that make it easier than ever to package existing web apps for "native" mobile deployment...
If you recall, I wondered awhile back about packaging web applications as SSBs for deployment on the iPhone, and sure enough, there are solutions available now. Huzzah! PhoneGap (open source and available on GitHub) is one of the most appealing toolkits I've seen, offering support not just for the iPhone and Android, but also for Blackberry. The idea is simple, at least in the iPhone's case -- you download a set of libraries that let you wrap a web application up in a native application using Webkit.
All you have to do to accomplish this? Launch the included project file, change a few configuration settings, like specifying the URL for your application, include an icon file, compile, and go. You do all this in X-Code like you would for any other iPhone application. Then, assuming you're a registered developer and have paid the Apple tax, you can submit it to the application store, as a standalone deployable application. Just like for any other iPhone application.
Of course, I'm simplifying things a little bit here for the sake of demonstration :-). In most cases, you're going to want to create a separate stylesheet and some custom JavaScript behaviors for the "iPhone version" of your web application. Fortunately much of the hard work here is mitigated by using IUI, a streamlined CSS/JS package that makes this process easy on you. Reinventing the wheel is, after all, bad for your health. Or at least your productivity.
If you want your application to not only look like a native mobile app but also feel like one, PhoneGap gives developers access to many device-specific features such as the accelerometer, geo location, and vibration via JavaScript. This means that not only can they look like native applications but that they can also act like them. With relatively minimal effort. Hurray for the write-once, amend with some special sauce, and run everywhere workflow!
I should note that there are of course a certain class of applications which are not going to be great for this sort of thing. You're not going to want to build many interaction-heavy games in this manner, for instance. But for a large number of business, utility, and social networking applications that already have a pre-existing web frontend and require network access to function, it's a no-brainer. Just build on top of what you already have instead of reimplementing it from the ground up on a new platform with a foreign set of tools. The web is, after all, supposed to be ubiquitous.

The South Tama Class of 1968 will hold its 45-year class reunion on Aug. 2 and 3, 2013. Back then, it was known as the Tama-Toledo High School. There were 182 names on the senior class list printed on the back of the Graduation Program.
These students began their school careers by attending the elementary schools in Chelsea, Montour, Tama, Toledo, and the Meskwaki Settlement. Some students attended St. Patrick's School in Tama.
After the school district consolidated, these students, as 7th graders, were divided up and were bussed to Toledo, Chelsea, and Montour. There was no 7th or 8th grade in Tama. For 9th and 10th grades, they were finally all under one roof at the Toledo school. They next moved to the Tama High School (aka Tama Intermediate/now known as the Partnership Center) for 11th and 12th grades. In March 1968, this class moved into the "new" high school where they hold the honor of being the first class to graduate from that building.
This Reunion Committee has always included classmates who may have moved away during school, or dropped out. It has mailed out 190 invitations for the reunion. It should be noted that 26 members of this class have passed away. There are currently five classmates that they have no addresses for: Arlene Blackcloud, Marilyn Blackcloud, Josephine Posekany Degrease, Teresa Roberts, and Georgette Sanache. If anyone knows these people and how to reach them, or if you are a member of this class and didn't receive your invitation, please contact Rose Ann Wiese. All reservations for Aug. 3, are due by July 1st to Rose Ann.

Not to be a downer about tonight's 3-1 win over the Mariners, but didn't the Jays make Carlos Silva look like a legitimate Major League starting pitcher, instead of the overpriced tomato can that he is? Maybe his fellow struggling southpaws Dontrelle Willis and Barry Zito could use a start against the Toronto Nine to get themselves righted.
Sure, the Jays won, but it was mostly on the back of a stellar pitching performance from Dusty (Return of the Lambchops) McGowan, who went the distance.
Odds and Sods
Gregg Zaun's hospital gown provided by Gregg Zaun: Blairsy reports that Zaunie (cripes...this isn't a Canadian blog or nothin', eh?) will not come off the DL as soon as initially thought, providing Rod Barajas with more time to steal his job.
Jon Hale will answer your queries forthwith: Good job by the Mockingbird's "stat dude" for getting on the case to answer Blair's questions about the favourable calls that Halladay might have received on Sunday. It's a tribute to Hale's intellectual honesty that he doesn't make too many homer excuses for why Halladay gets the calls he does. (Also, we like that he's lost track of the Aaron Rowand bacon meter, as a stellar May by the Giants centerfielder has us fever-dreaming about nitrates.)

pumped for the win and all, but seriously, pitching matchups don't mean a damn thing with this team this season. with a few exceptions so far, you know we are getting a good start and so is the opposing team, regardless of whether it's a 350 lb Carlos Silva or Josh Beckett we're facing.

Flash: Judge Rules for UC Berkeley in Oak Grove Case
Berkeley's treesitters and Memorial Stadium neighbors who had sued to block construction of a gym at the site of the adjacent oak grove were dealt a resounding setback Tuesday.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Barbara J. Miller issued a judgment that upholds the university's plans for a four-level gym at the grove site and hits the litigants—including the city and the late City Councilmember Dona Spring—with an order that they pay most of the university's legal bill.
Her order also ends, on July 29, the injunction which has blocked construction and the destruction of the grove. Construction could begin immediately after that date unless the plaintiffs are able to win a stay from the state appellate court.
She also divided costs for the litigation, which produced over 40,000 pages of documentation and lasted 18 months, with 15 per cent to be paid by the university and the remaining 85 percent divided equally between:
• The city of Berkeley, represented by Sacramento attorney Harriet Steiner;
• The Panoramic Hill Association, represented by Alameda attorney Michael Lozeau, and
•A group of plaintiffs represented by Oakland attorney Stephan Volker, which includes Spring, the California Oak Foundation and several other Berkeley residents.
Just what those costs will include remains uncertain, with one university official stating that attorney fees probably wouldn't be included. Volker agreed.
The judgment and order, which follow Miller's June 18 decision on the case, don't hand the university an unequivocal victory.
The judge rejected a claim by the university that the Alquist-Priolo Act, which governs construction within 50 feet of active earthquake faults, does apply to UC construction projects.
That decision won't affect the gym project, since the university eliminated three features connecting with gym project with the stadium which Judge Miller had ruled in June were governed by the law.
She also gave the city a minor victory, denying the university's contention that traffic, noise and other impacts from a planned seven additional events at the stadium were unknowable. The university sidestepped the issue by a decision to drop the planned events.
"We are very pleased by this decision," said Dan Mogulof, the university's executive director for public affairs.
"We see it as a vindication and validation of the process which led to our decision about where and how to build a facility that is absolutely necessary for the safety and well-being of our student athletes," he said.
Volker said he will be filing an appeal on behalf of the plaintiffs he represents within the next few days, though he couldn't speak for the city or the Panoramic Hill Association.
The appeal has to be filed within the next seven days, while the injunction is still in effect, in order to win an automatic 20-day continuation of the injunction, he said.
"It is our belief the judge misread the law and has misapprehended the facts of the case," said Volker.
"The public has a vital interest in preserving the outstanding oak grove, and we believe we will be ultimately vindicated by the courts," he said.
Steiner is on a vacation in Hawaii and was unavailable for comment, and Lozeau is out of state attending a family reunion, Volker said, while Zach Cowan, Berkeley's acting city attorney, is scheduled to be out of town Wednesday through Friday.
But City Councilmember Linda Maio said the council will meet in closed session Thursday, "and we won't recess until we're done with this. Clearly, there are issues for us to deal with."
Maio said the recent adoption of the state's green building code also raises new issues.
Doug Buckwald, Director of Save the Oaks at the Stadium, issued this statement on Tuesday night:
"Today (Tuesday, July 22, 2008) at 4:30 pm, Judge Barbara Miller issued her final judgment in the case of the Memorial Oak Grove dispute in Berkeley, California. The timing of her decision is highly prejudicial to the Petitioners, and this will make it difficult for them to exercise their legal right to an appeal.
"Judge Miller issued a ruling which dissolves the injunction protecting the trees in seven days (calendar days, not business days) and so the university will be able to cut the trees down unless an appellate court issues a new injunction. That means that Petitioners will have to get a motion into appellate court as soon as possible to have any chance of saving the trees. Petitioners' difficulty is magnified by the fact that two out of three of their attorneys are away on previously-scheduled vacations, and so they will be unable to participate fully in the process.
"Also, the Berkeley City Council will be in a summer recess after tonight's council meeting. They, too, will have to grapple with making a decision about how to proceed in a very brief amount of time.
"Unfortunately, the timing of the court's decision makes it particularly difficult for us to proceed to the next step in the judicial process. The ruling has forced our legal team to rush into court with minimum time to consult with all clients and to prepare legal papers.
"I believe that we have a strong case to take to the appellate court. It would be a real tragedy to lose the beloved oak grove now, and then win in court later when it would be too late to save the trees. You can't put stumps and sawdust back in the ground and make things all better again. Those beautiful, majestic oaks would be gone forever.
"Irrespective of the unfair time constraints of the judicial process, the university still could choose to do the right thing and spare the trees until the appellate court rules. That approach would be cooperative and would ensure that the legitimate interests of the city and community were not shortchanged on a legal technicality.
"I can only hope that university officials have listened to the many people in this community who have spoken out in favor of the trees for the past two years--a coalition which includes a broad spectrum of Berkeley society--and they will realize the severe and lasting harm that will come of any rash action on their part to cut the trees down while we may still be standing at the courtroom door asking to be heard. Ignoring the wishes of the community like this would be counter to its paramount obligation to the public it serves. If it does so, the University of California will be forever stained in the eyes of many people who have supported it in the past. "

We import and sell (on-line and wholesale) handmade products from artisans from around the world. We are looking for a simple and sohisticated design for this up-scale, global and socially responsible business.
Ripple Arts
I'm looking for a logo that can be used for lifelong branding. It should include the word (Ripple) but also include a graphic representation that can be easily recognizable itself (like the Nike Swoosh). It can be of a ripple or more abstract (maybe a stone that would make a ripple or the shore) Ideally, it will express some of the meaning of a ripple – where the impact/effect of the action expands well beyond the action itself. In terms of my business – the impact of the purchase is not only the beauty of the item itself, but the impact that purchase makes around the world for the artisan that crafted it, their family and the community where they live.
It's very possible that after this contest is finished, I'd use the same designer for the next portions of the project (business cards, etc.)
- The look that I'm striving for is simple and sophisticated. It should be professional yet approachable. It should include the idea of a ripple either as part of the words (maybe above the word ripple with the dot of the 'i' being the impact point of a ripple) or separately as a logo. I tend to like things that look hand-drawn. It would also be interesting to incorporate elements that might be included in a lot of art (e.g. glass beads, terra cotta, stone, metal) I'm less inclined to pick anything cartoon-like. But feel free to be creative, I'm open to new ideas.
- I don't have a particular color in mind but it should look 'expensive' and modern. It should also be effective in black and white as well.
- Feel free to play with the capitalization and the inclusion of arts (e.g., ripple arts, Ripple Arts, ripple, Ripple). It might be good to play with the size of the words relative to each other - emphasizing ripple.
- Ultimately, I'll be interested in having a version that I can use in different situations (e.g., just the logo, the logo and the company name, the logo and company name and tagline). But the logo and the company name is the most important right now.
- Finally, I'll need the logo produced in a vector format by Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator so I can resize without any loss of quality, so final transmittal in both standard web formats (.jpg, .gif or .png) and vector formats (.eps, pdf, or .ai).
- Nothing complicated or cheesy please.
- Nothing too girly or scripty but not manly either

Hey Bancika! Massive thanks for your continued efforts with DIYLC! You really made this hobby accessible to newcomers.
I'd like to put forward a feature request if possible? Is there a way/can you implement a system where a user can set an object template as the default state? For example, when I'm doing pedal layouts I tend to use my 1/8W resistor template...but with amps I use my 1/2W template. Constantly choosing a template is a bit annoying so setting a template as the default resistor for example would speed up a layout.
I appreciate this is somewhat of a silly ask but just something I always think about whenever I open DIYLC and start using.
Again...serious thanks for your time man!

Super Zesty Potato Salad
- 2 pounds red potatoes
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 slices bacon, cut into lardons
- 1 red onion, diced
- 3 ribs celery, diced
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- Salt
- 1 1/2 cups homemade mayonnaise (recipe to follow)
- 1/2 cup Dijon mustard
- *2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 1/2 cups neutrally flavored oil (vegetable, canola, peanut)
- Salt
Cut the potatoes in quarters and place in a large pot, add the garlic and cover the potatoes by about 2 inches with water. Season generously with salt. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes.
While the potatoes are cooking, put 2 tablespoons olive oil into a saute pan, add the bacon and bring to a medium-high heat. Cook the bacon until it is brown and crispy. Remove from the heat and add the onions, celery and vinegar. Season with salt and reserve.
When the potatoes are fork tender, drain them from the water and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. While the potatoes are still hot add the bacon-onion mixture. Stir to incorporate. Add the Mayonnaise and stir to combine. TASTE for seasoning and stir in the mustard. Add more salt, if needed.
Homemade Mayonnaise:
Place the egg yolks in the bowl of the food processor and add the vinegar and mustard. Season with salt, to taste. Turn the machine on and VERY slowly start to drizzle in the oil. Drip, drip, drip until the mixture starts to look like mayonnaise, then a slow steady stream of oil can be added.
Cook's Note: If the mayonnaise is too thick add a few drops of water or if it is not thick enough, with the machine running, add a little more oil.
Food Network Kitchens suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly-cooked eggs.
Due to the slight risk of Salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly-refrigerated, clean, grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell.

Since I purchased my Galaxy Nexus I have been looking for a new task manager to replace OmniFocus. I need the task manager to do the following:
- Work on Android, iOs and the desktop
- The ability to email a task to it
- The ability to prioritize task or events
- The ability to share a task
- The ability to add task or events to Google Calendar or Apple Calendar
- The ability to add a task either by text or audio
- The ability to create lists and sublists
- The ability to set alarms per task
- I also wanted something that wasn't too expensive or a try before you buy model.
I believe I found what I was looking for in Astrid. It has an app for both iOs and Android and a web application you can use on the desktop. I especially appreciate the fact you can forward an email to Astrid and make it a task. I use this all the time when I have to remind myself to renew or cancel something. If you pay for premium ($40.00 a year) you can add attachments including pdf, spreadsheets and photos. If you just forward the email it will go to your inbox, however if you add metadata to the subject line you can have it go to what every list you want. Using meta data you can also set the priority level, the time and date. I also like being able to add a task either by voice or texts. There is a way to connect it with Siri on an iPhone using ifttt You can find how to set that up on Lifehacker.
Astrid can do a lot more things, however it is not perfect. For example on your Android device you can create subtasks, however those subtask show up as just regular task on the iPad. Also you cannot create sub-sub tasks. Unfortunately if you share a task with someone else there is no way to label it waiting for or in progress. Despite these problems if you work with multiple platforms and need a task management system that works with all then Astrid maybe a good choice.

The difference between Saturday night in New Orleans and Sunday afternoon at the Meadowlands was like the difference between HDTV and a black-and-white Philco.
Drew Brees and the rest of the Saints' offense play football with an ease that would make the uninitiated wonder just how the sport got a reputation for brutality.
When you throw the ball with such precision and run around defenses without drawing so much as a fingertip on your person, football becomes more like ballet than the bloody struggle for survival that so many people have believed it is over the years.
The Giants can throw the ball a little bit, but their 24-2 victory over the Falcons did not share much space with the show the Saints put on for our entertainment. It took them almost the entire first half to put points on the board and you saw the effort in every little thing they did offensively.
U.S. & World
Things changed when the offense finally found its stride in the second half. The Giants took over the game by taking football back to its essentials instead of following the Saints' lead and seeing where the game can go.
Play after play in the second half, the Giants simply lined up and told the Falcons that they were just going to battle them straight up, with no feints or misdirections, by running the ball down the defense's throat.
Our guys are going to beat your guys off the ball, they are going to get lower than your guys and they are going to run through tackles because our guys are simply going to grind a little bit harder than your guys.
Unoriginal? Perhaps, but you can't argue with the results.
The Giants ran for 172 yards against the Falcons on Sunday and every carry seemed to wake up ghosts. The stadium, so antiseptic and quiet throughout its existence, roared like the old building and memories of past Giants champions rumbled through the mind the way Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs rumbled through the Atlanta line.
There are still plenty of steps to go for these Giants to even realistically talk about joining those championship ancestors, but, for the first time all year, there's actually a reason to think they could pull it off. Their offense was balanced, Jacobs used his energy to do something other than make noise and the team played its best half of the season as a result.
It worked on the other side of the ball as well. For reasons known only to Mike Smith, the Falcons wanted to play that same style of football on Sunday and the Giants defense, quite giving to running games all year, finally showed up to slam the door.
When you can't run the ball and you can't stop the run, it doesn't take much for teams to realize that they are overmatched and simply quit. That's what the Falcons did after the third quarter of Sunday's game and that's something that the Saints' style doesn't really make you do.
You might get a crick in your neck from craning it to watch the ball and you might find your jaw open as you contemplate how efficient an offense can be, but you don't ever get hit in the mouth so often that you just quit.
The Giants forced Atlanta into that humiliation on Sunday, an old-school way of winning a football game that felt mighty good for a team that tried and failed to do it so often in 2011.
Football doesn't get more old-school than Lambeau Field, which means the Giants are right where they need to be if they want to keep rolling the game back to a time more to their liking.

First and fourth ingredients are named meat products
Insufficient meat content, mixed quality grains, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat product, in meal form, as is the fourth. There are further named meat ingredients 9th and 11th on the ingredient list, but these are too far down to make any significant contribution to the overall meat content of the food. Two meat meal ingredients within the top five is generally a good sign that the product contains a reasonable amount of meat. In this instance though, we note that there are also four grain products and we have some reservation about the overall meat content.
With 4 grain products amongst the primary ingredients, this food appears to be quite heavy in grain and our confidence that it may contain an adequate amount of meat is limited. Rice and sorghum are decent quality grains, but rice flour (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Corn is a difficult to digest grain of limited value in dog food products. It is also commonly associated with food allergies.
Beet pulp is a controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
The product contains a good range of probiotics. We note the inclusion of synthetic vitamin K, a substance alleged by some to be linked to liver problems and which is progressively being removed from better quality products.

CARSON, Calif. (Wednesday, February 29, 2012) – The LA Galaxy announced today that the club has signed veteran goalkeeper Bill Gaudette. The 30-year-old joined the Galaxy on trial for the start of preseason last month and has appeared in parts of three preseason games, allowing two goals in 129 minutes of action. In order to make room for Gaudette on the roster, the club has waived goalkeeper Nick Noble. Per club and league policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Gaudette began his MLS career in 2005 with the Columbus Crew after being selected by the club in the first round of the MLS Supplemental Draft. Following a standout four-year career at St. John's, Gaudette appeared in six games as a rookie in 2005, keeping a clean sheet and earning his first career win in a 1-0 win over Colorado on June 11. The following season, he played in an MLS career-high 11 games, recording a 3-5-3 record with three shutouts and a 1.18 goals against average while splitting the goalkeeping duties with Jon Busch, Noah Palmer and Dan Popik.
After leaving the Crew following the 2007 MLS season, Gaudette signed with the Puerto Rico Islanders of the USL First Division. He was selected as the league's Goalkeeper of the Year that season, helping the Islanders win the Commissioner's Cup, which is given to the team with the best regular season record, for the first time while also helping them reach the semifinals of the 2008/09 CONCACAF Champions League. He led the Islanders to the postseason in each of his three seasons with the club, including the 2010 USSF Division 2 Pro League championship when the upset Rochester, Vancouver and Carolina on the way to their first league title. He spent the 2011 season with the NASL's Montreal Impact, appearing in nine games for the club.
Noble signed with the Galaxy in December after a two-year stay with Ljungskile SK of the Swedish Seperettan. He appeared in four of the club's seven preseason games so far this year, allowing six goals.
The Galaxy will play their first official game of 2012 on Wednesday, March 7 when they face Toronto FC in the first leg of their 2011/12 CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal, which will be played at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. They will open the 2012 MLS season three days later on Saturday, March 10 when they host Real Salt Lake at The Home Depot Center in MLS First Kick 2012, presented by Dick's Sporting Goods. That game will kick off at 7:30 p.m. (PT) and tickets are on sale now starting at just $30. For more information about this game or to purchase tickets for all Galaxy home games, please visit the club's official website at www.lagalaxy.com.

Welcome to TrendyInk.net.
For quite a while now I wanted to get a website going to do a few things. Number one: have a place to host my portfolio. Nowadays, every artist has got to have a website. Two: I needed a place to let the world know about my services: Graphic Design, Painting Murals, CD/Music related Design, Logo Design, and Web Design. And three: I wanted to create a place where I could have an online voice. I have a lot of hobbies and interests, and I like to share info I attain with others (and provide a laugh from time to time if possible), thus the blog.
I asked my brother to write a little bio/intro for my site.
Here's what he sent me.

but it was RETURNED to us. I know he's only making a point for the argument and that is that small people are easier to fight against, militarily or internationally and there for it has nothing to do with justice but rather with oportunity but, Israel was returned (not so much on silver platter more like we took it back by force) to us.
the Falklands can't be returned... they were never inhabited before the Europeans got there and since S.America is colonial leftover anyway, the Falklands belong to the Islanders and they have every right to choose to remain a part of Britian.

The Charlotte Bobcats won their opener the other night, which is an occasion in and of itself. Sure, things returned to normal the next night when they lost to the Mavericks by 27, but Bobcats fever is spreading, so much so that no less than alt-rock piano maestro Ben Folds wants to get his band (he and the two other original members of the Five reunited last year) in on the action:
The Bobcats seem enthusiastic about the proposal, as well they should be.
I heartily endorse everything about this arrangement, both because Folds puts on one helluva live show, and because he's already written the chorus for what, with just a few lyrical tweaks, could very easily be the Bobcats' fight song.

Offensive Valleys
Ups and downs, peaks and valleys.
That's part of a marathon called a baseball season. Pat Burrell and Chase Utley came out of the shoot swinging a hot bat last month. Jimmy Rollins went down. Ryan Howard started slowly as did some other players.
Burrell and Utley have cooled off, Rollins came back and is hot, Howard is getting warmer and Jayson Werth had a career game on Friday. Pedro Feliz. Carlos Ruiz and Geoff Jenkins haven't gotten it going offensively and Shane Victorino missed time. Chris Coste has been swinign a hot bat lately.
As the Phillies begin a seven-game road trip, will the all the bats get hot at one time? Pat and Chase will get it going again. Rollins had 12 hits in the just-concluded 6-game homestand. So, he's hot, real hot. Howard showed signs of coming out of it. Others will get it coing.
Over the course of a season, players are going to have extremes at times. But, it is a matter of working hard and battling. Offensive valleys are part of the game and its' long season. The best hitters fail seven out of 10 times..
Williamsport Journey
Played the role of a deliveryman today with a car trunk full of Phillies memorabilia, including a 4-foot tall Phillie Phanatic. Sorry, the stuffed green doll was in the trunk. Didn't want it sitting in the car and having nosey people gawking.
Destination was the Peter J. McGovern Little League Baseball Museum in South Williamsport. The museum will be setting up a Phillies display on the lower level of the two-level building. The display will run from June 2 through the end of the baseball season.
We'll have more about this later in the season. For more information about the museum, visit the website at email@example.com. Over 35,000 annually stop in the museum located on the grounds of the Little League headquarters and park where the LL World Series is played every August.
Answering a question
With the double rain delays yesterday, what happened to the Phillies transportation plans? Benefit of traveling on a charter (airplane or train) is that it waits for the team. Taking commercial transportation would create tons of problems on days such as yesterday. It would be a nightmare for Frank Coppenbarger, who has enough gray hair.

Do I need a criminal defense lawyer if I have been falsely accused?
All defendants who are accused of a crime are required by law to have adequate legal representation during the prosecution process. Many times an accused defendant will allow the court to assign a pro bono attorney when they qualify because of associated legal expenses. The problem is that many court appointed New York criminal attorneys either work for the state through the public defender's office or are assigned from the local attorney pool by the jurisdictional judge. This means that the legal counsel for the defendant is also an employee of the same state that is pressing the charges, which rarely bodes well for the defendant. Prosecutors often act as though they are entitled to a conviction following any indictment or application of criminal charges, and an appointed attorney will normally be required to deal with the same prosecutor regularly. This situation alone is enough for anyone falsely accused of a crime to retain an experienced and effective criminal defense attorney who will work diligently to ensure that all legal rights to a solid defense are enforced.
What your NYC criminal attorney can do
Criminal cases are built on evidence that must meet the standard of reasonable doubt. Your criminal defense attorney can evaluate all articles of evidence for legal application regarding truth and proper protocol by the police in acquiring the evidence. Arresting officers must follow all arrest protocols and maintain adherence to the Constitution when compiling evidence in an investigation. And, many times over-zealous police officers and prosecutors will prosecute an innocent individual in an attempt to get them to provide state's evidence in the case. Your attorney can contest all of this evidence as inadmissible and move to have any immaterial case facts dismissed for consideration, which is something that a typical defendant usually cannot accomplish.
Defending your case
When you retain a NYC criminal attorney they can also question the statements of the officer as well as the motivation for the arrest when it obvious that charges are based on evidence that is weak or borderline. Having an attorney who is willing to take a case to a complete trial can be important, and many times an appointed attorney will avoid this at all costs because they know the prosecutor wants a guilty plea. Never plead guilty to a criminal charge when you are innocent because criminal histories can have a major impact on the life of the defendant going forward, including denial for government benefits, employment, and public housing. Retaining a criminal attorney is always an investment in your personal future.
It is never a good decision to go before the court without legal representation because the state must only observe the minimal basic legal rights of the defendant and they are serious about a conviction merely because of the fact your are there. In many ways, a defendant must actually prove their innocence instead of the court proving the case against the defendant. It is important to remember that, even when charges are generally sound, a charge reduction can often be achieved with good legal counsel.
Do I need a criminal attorney for my case?
The 6th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees a defendant the right to a lawyer to defend him or her in a criminal case. It has also been interpreted as conferring the right on criminal defendants to represent himself or herself in cases against them. No such right exists in a civil lawsuit. If you're a criminal defendant, you might also be allowed to represent yourself, but you'll need permission to do so from the judge who is presiding over your case. Whether or not it's a good idea to ask a judge to represent yourself in a criminal case is up to your own best judgment, but it's not recommended. Typically, you should hire a lawyer to work with you. The consequences of a conviction could be harsh, especially if you're charged with a felony.
Aggressive and Unyielding
Our NYC criminal lawyers are aggressive, and extremely resourceful. We get each client the results he, or she, deserves.
Top Notch Litigators
Our NYC criminal lawyers have all been recognized as top rated, by ranking services like Avvo, National Trial Lawyers Organization, SUPER Lawyers, and many others.

Don't settle for a public defender
Public defenders are a necessity to the legal system, but may not always provide adequate defense for the assigned client. The public defenders works for the same state that is prosecuting the case, and there will always be a question of how willing they are to work diligently to protect you. Many times the charge is a crime without a victim, especially in cases involving drug distribution on any level. Public defenders regularly work in one specific court and can become an ally of the local court officials in many cases. Never accept a public defender for a criminal charge if there is any other option for legal representation.

Let us help you defend your case and ensure the respect of all of your legal rights.
What happens after someone is arrested?
An arrest is made when a police officer either has a warrant signed by a judge or has personally witnessed the suspect committing a crime. Once arrested the suspect will be taken by the police officer to jail to be fingerprinted and photographed. The suspect will be required to answer a series of personal questions and will then be placed in a holding cell. The police must give the suspect an opportunity to make completed phone calls within three hours of the arrest. The suspect will use these calls to contact a criminal defense attorney and to alert friends and family members.
The suspect will be given a court hearing within 48 hours of being placed in custody. The suspect will be allowed to meet with their attorney before the court hearing takes place.
When the suspect is taken into court, the judge will inform the suspect of the crime they are being charged with, and will ask the suspect to enter a plea. The suspect can either tell the judge that they are guilty, not guilty, not guilty by reason of insanity, or that they plead no contest. The suspect should consult their attorney about which plea to enter before the hearing begins.
A guilty plea is an admission of guilt, and the suspect will be responsible for the consequences of the crime. With a plea of no contest, the suspect is not admitting guilt but is also not disputing the facts of the charges brought against them. If the suspect pleads not guilty by reason of insanity, they may be placed under psychiatric supervision. A plea of not guilty will force the prosecutor to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the suspect committed the crime.
The suspect will be given the opportunity to choose between a bench trial or a jury trial. If the suspect chooses a jury trial they will be tried before a group of their peers, and these peers will determine guilt or innocence. If the suspect chooses a bench trial they will be tried before the judge only, and the judge will decide the outcome. The suspect should consult their attorney to determine which option would be most beneficial.
What happens next depends on the outcome of the trial. If the suspect is found innocent, they will be allowed to go free. If the suspect is found guilty, or if the suspect pleaded guilty or no contest, a sentencing hearing will be held. Before the sentencing takes place, the judge will review the suspect's past criminal behavior and try to determine whether or not the suspect has any substance abuse issues. The judge will take this information into consideration when deciding a verdict.
At the sentencing hearing the judge may want to hear the opinions of the suspect's friends and family, or from the victim of the crime. The judge will then declare a verdict based on sentencing requirements and the evidence provided. Depending on the severity of the crime, the sentence could involve jail, a monetary fine or community service.
As its name suggests, a Grand Jury has a larger number of jurors. A regular trials has 6-12 people. A Grand Jury has 12-23 people.
State Grand Juries are usually chosen in the same manner standard jurors are selected. The U.S. Courts summons eligible citizens who can serve up to 18 months.
Grand Jury Purpose
A Grand Jury is used solely to determine whether criminal charges should be brought against a particular defendant. It is not used for civil matters (civil matters generally deal with contracts and cases dealing with negligent/wrongful acts).
Only the Prosecutor (or Assistant District Attorney) presents the matter to the Grand Jury. The Prosecutor represents either the state or the United States.
During the proceedings, the Prosecutor presents the case and accuses the Defendant of a crime. There is no judge, defense attorney, or defendant. Only the Prosecutor's witnesses present testimony and there is no cross-examination. The Grand Jury does not determine the defendant's guilt or innocence. Instead, the Grand Jury determines whether there is probable cause to charge the defendant with the crime.
Sometimes a Special Grand Jury investigates matters for investigators, not prosecutors, usually when organized crime or political corruption is suspected. This is different from the aforementioned Grand Jury.
Weight of Evidence
"Probable cause" is the legal weight in which to determine whether to bring charges against the defendant.
The U.S. District Court says that when the evidence convinces 12 or more Grand Jurors that the defendant committed the crime, probable cause is established.
States have their own definitions of probable cause. The definitions are mostly made by common law, which means they are defined by court decisions, not statutes.
Origin of the Grand Jury
The 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution reads, in Part:
No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury…
This takes its roots from the Magna Carter and was to protect citizens from spiteful, political or unjustified prosecutions.
Updates to the U.S. Constitution
On July 28, 1868, Congress ratified the 14th Amendment. It, in part, provided citizens "equal protection under the law" and directed that no state shall deprive anyone "due process of law," or "equal protection of the laws."
The courts have interpreted that the due process of law requirement did not necessarily require a Grand Jury indictment.
The states and the District of Columbia use Grand Juries, mostly for cases that may result in serious felony charges. Connecticut and Pennsylvania have eliminated them for criminal indictments, but still use them to investigate criminal activity.
For standard criminal cases, states conduct preliminary hearings. The prosecutor presents the case and the defendant may cross-examine. The judge then determines whether there is enough evidence for the defendant to stand trial. As with Grand Juries, the judge usually uses the "probable cause" standard.
The U.S. District Courts still use Grand Juries
When to ask a judge
At an arraignment, defendants are advised of what they're charged with, and a plea of not guilty is almost always entered. The court will schedule various dates along with a trial date. Most defendants who want to represent themselves ask a judge for permission to do so at the time of their arraignment. The judge will then set that issue for hearing.
The hearing
The purpose of the hearing on representing oneself is to make a formal record of the request and obtain a waiver of his or her 6th Amendment right to an attorney. The judge will want the defendant to confirm on the record that he or she is freely, voluntarily, knowingly and intelligently waiving their right to an attorney with full knowledge of the possible consequences.
The defendant's competency
For purposes of an opportunity for a fair trial, the law doesn't allow a person to represent himself or herself if the presiding judge doesn't feel that the defendant is competent to do so. Competency in this context isn't about whether the defendant is mentally ill or not. It's about the ability to understand and participate in all phases of the case against him or her.
Factors that a court considers
In deciding on the issue of a defendant's competency, some of the factors that a court takes into consideration include the defendant's age, educational level, his or her ability to speak and understand English and the seriousness of the crime that he or she is charged with. These factors make it clear that you need not have the skills of a attorney to be able to represent yourself. You'll be held to the same ground rules that attorneys are held to in all phases of your case though.
Remember that in waiving your 6th Amendment right to an attorney, you're also waiving any right that you might have to claim ineffective assistance of counsel. Knowledge and experience in criminal law and procedure can make the difference between being found guilty or not guilty. It's highly likely that you'll be far better off having an attorney represent you in any criminal case.
Going to criminal court in New York City can be a frustrating and scary experience. This is especially true when you are facing serious criminal charges that can result in a long incarceration period. New York City prosecutors are adamant about reducing crime in the metropolitan area, as it is one the world's most attractive tourist destinations, as well as the home to over seven million primarily law-abiding residents. Having an experienced and aggressive criminal defense attorney is imperative when attempting to defend against any criminal charge in a New York City court room when the charges and potential penalties are significant. This is especially true when being charged with a felony because all felonies carry the potential for long-term state penitentiary incarceration. When in doubt, we encourage you to contact our criminal lawyers.
New York City is a unique region. There are seven distinctive areas within the municipality and the court systems are not uniform. Different levels of criminal prosecutions are handled in differing locations and names of the particular criminal court do not always comport. Even a defendant who is familiar with the New York City court system may have difficulty determining the exact location of the court where their case appears on the docket. An criminal lawyer who practices primarily in New York City will understand how to avoid a potential failure to appear charge when a defendant attempts to comply with the court, but goes to the wrong location. In addition, an attorney who works within the court system on a daily basis is familiar with the court officers and can be a solid voice for your case during the bargaining process.
If the prosecution offers you a plea deal to your public defender, it may not be a bad idea to take it. If the plea deal is fair, doesn't impact your permanent record – and doesn't seem toxic, then it's a good idea to take the deal. 99% of the time, the prosecution doesn't offer a good deal. If you hire an attorney who starts fighting back, you can almost always secure a better deal.
Our #1 goal is to get your criminal case dismissed. We often get many cases dismissed, before they even get to full trial. Often, prosecutors build cases built on faulty evidence. By focusing on the evidence of the case, we can see if the evidence is either faulty, or wrongfully gotten – which allows us to request the judge to dismiss the case. By attacking the evidence and how it was gathered, we can force the prosecution to agree to dismissing the case, or agreeing to a lower penalty. We can help restore your rights, and help you regain access to your property, i.e. things like your car, etc. If your car is taken away from you, you can consult with services like Avis, Enterprise, or Zooomr, to get a short term car lease.

As expected, the Arvada Center announced today that the role of Coalhouse Walker Jr. will be played by Tyrone L. Robinson for the remainder of its run of "Ragtime," both at the Arvada Center and for its encore stay at the new Lone Tree Arts Center.
Earlier this week, Jamal Lee Harris, who was originally cast in the role, was diagnosed with a throat cyst and ordered on vocal rest. It was initially hoped that Harris might be able to return to the musical as early as today, but after several days of treatment and consultation, it was determined that Harris will not be allowed to continue with the show.
