I love fall. I love everything about fall. I love the end to the blazing hot summer here in Phoenix, I love heading into the holiday season and I LOVE fall baking. Pumpkin, caramel, apples, cinnamon, cream cheese, pies...they are my favorite flavors, and I try and mix, match and make them in as many ways as I can. These Caramel Pumpkin Cupcakes with Caramel Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting are a perfect example of that. Unfortunately we don't have many traditional fall activities here in the desert such as apple or pumpkin picking, but we do certainly enjoy working those flavors into our menu to try and get a taste of fall.
When I thought about baking up some September-Inspired Treats, using flavors like pumpkin, I was ready to preheat the oven. Pumpkin is one of my favorite things to bake with year round, and I have found it to be a fabulous asset in the kitchen, even making a great replacement for butter or oil in many muffin and cookie recipes. When I found the recipe for Pumpkin Cupcakes With Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting, I knew I wanted to make them and put my own spin on them. And my own spin includes caramel!
Last fall I made a pumpkin cake for my family and at the last minute poked some holes in it and poured on a little caramel ice cream topping before frosting the cake. My daughter is still, a year later, talking about this cake. I thought it would be fun to make these cupcakes into poke cupcakes and add caramel to them, the same way that I did with the cake. It is so simple, after following the directions to make your cupcakes; you simply poke some holes into the top of your cupcakes (I used a straw for mine) and spoon on a bit of caramel sauce while they are still warm. The caramel sort of soaks through the cake giving it a nice hint of caramel flavor.
I decided that the frosting needed some caramel as well. I slightly modified the recipe with my own twist, creating a delicious, but not overly sweet, Caramel Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting. It is incredible. My husband has taste tested quite a few cupcakes in his day, and these were proclaimed to be one of the best cupcakes ever.
Once the cupcakes had cooled completely, I frosted them and added another small drizzle of caramel to the tops. You can easily skip this part, but it certainly makes for a lovely presentation. I also added a tiny topping of sea salt, because the only thing better than caramel is salted caramel. These can be a bit messy due to the caramel, so you may want to add the cupcakes to a second cupcake liner after removing from the cupcake pan.
I hope that you enjoy these cupcakes as much as we did! I am so ready for fall!

National Palace Museum Tour
Takming University is arranging a half-day tour of the National Palace Museum for all foreign visitors on Wednesday, October 26 and on Thursday, October 27, 2011. If you are interested in being part of the group tour, please sign-up in advance by sending an email to Maggie Roth
Founding of the National Palace Museum
The collection of cultural artifacts held by the National Palace Museum is composed of an enormous treasure trove of objects inherited from the previous Sung, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Development of the Museum is closely connected to the social changes of modern China. Thirteen years after the founding of the Republic of China, the last Qing Emperor Pu Yi was exiled from the Forbidden City. The cultural artifacts remaining within the palaces were inventorized, and the National Palace Museum was founded.
On October 10, 1925 the National Palace Museum was officially inaugurated to preserve the imperial collections and palatial treasures from the various Chinese dynasties, so that all members of the public and future generations will henceforth be able to freely enter the Palace to admire this cultural inheritance of humankind.

Nemours Supports Congressional Efforts to Tackle Childhood Obesity
Today, Senator Mark Udall (D-CO) introduced the Healthy Kids from Day One Act, with the support of Nemours, Trust for America's Health, the YMCA of the USA, the American Heart Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics. Senator Tom Carper (D-DE); Senator Chris Coons (D-DE); Senator Tom Udall (D-NM) and Senator Al Franken (D-MN) co-sponsored the bill.
The legislation includes a pilot proposal establishing child care collaborative workshops at the local level to offer child care providers tools, training and assistance in implementing strategies that encourage healthy eating, physical activity and appropriate screen time limits in the child care environment.
In the United States, 75 percent of children 3- to 5-years-old are in child care and 56 percent are in centers, including nursery schools, preschools, and full-day centers. More than 24 percent of children 2- to 5-years-old are overweight or obese. This puts them at risk for developing heart disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions later in life.
"I am pleased to see continued leadership in reducing the prevalence of childhood obesity," remarked Debbie Chang, Vice President of Policy and Prevention at Nemours. "This bill would serve as a complement to the First Lady's Let's Move Child Care initiative, and would help expand upon work in child care launched by Nemours and
our partners."
Obesity-focused collaborative trainings have led to positive changes in the child care environment; 100 percent of centers participating in 2008-09 training led by Nemours in Delaware made changes to healthy eating or physical activity practices as a result of the program. Additional evaluation suggests that targeted changes were sustained for a year after the collaborative training without further intervention.
"Since 1980, childhood obesity rates have tripled. This epidemic is putting today's youth on course to possibly be the first generation to live shorter, less healthy lives than their parents," said Jeff Levi, PhD, executive director of TFAH and chair of the Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion, and Integrative and Public Health. "We are pleased to see the Healthy Kids from Day One Act introduced as we need to do all we can to help children stay healthy and happy."
"Preventable chronic diseases caused by being overweight or obese are sidelining young people physically, socially and emotionally," said YMCA of the USA President and CEO Neil Nicoll. "At the Y, we work with children every day to educate them about making healthy choices, so they can reach their fullest potential. This legislation will be a great help to us and all child care providers who are implementing nutrition and physical-activity standards aimed at improving the health of our nation's children."
"Teaching young children the value of physical activity and healthy eating before they adopt harmful habits is a critical step toward addressing the obesity trend," said Nancy Brown, American Heart Association CEO. "Since more than half of young children spend time in child care settings, the pilot program created through the Healthy Kids from Day One Act could play an essential role in encouraging healthier behaviors."
"Reversing the trend of childhood obesity in this country will require a coordinated effort among all sectors of society to develop comprehensive strategies aimed at improved nutrition and increased physical activity," said Robert Block, MD, FAAP, president, American Academy of Pediatrics. "Encouraging habits that promote healthy eating, physical activity, and appropriate screen time limits from a very early age is a step in the right direction. This legislation has the potential to make a big impact towards eliminating a significant threat to our children's health."
Nemours, Trust for America's Health, the YMCA of the USA, the American Heart Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics commend Senator Mark Udall, Senator Carper, Senator Coons, Senator Tom Udall and Senator Franken for their commitment to childhood obesity prevention.

The Andy Murray/UK's-favorite-son circus continued full bore here Monday.
Lost in the weird hustle and bustle by the local media to pursue yet another new angle was the fact that he won his first match in defense of his Wimbledon title. He beat David Goffin of Belgium, 6-1, 6-4, 7-5.
The hordes paid to get a glimpse of it, even without Center Court tickets. They scrambled for any open spot on the huge hill once known as Henman Hill (named for the former hope, Tim Henman) and now either officially or unofficially renamed Murray's Mount.
Apparently, to the winner go the spoils, as well as your name on a spectators' hill.
After his relative walk-through against Goffin, third-seeded Murray admitted to being nervous and also trying to take in some memories.
"Yeah, I enjoyed it for the walk to the chair," he said. "Then, when I sat down, it was time to get on with business."
For the media, it was that too. When he met reporters, a disproportionate number were armed with weird questions, some apparently from clueless editors derived at cocktail parties to produce new angles.
He was asked whether his nerves had been helped by making a visit to a dog rescue.
He was asked whether spectators shouting "C'mon, Andy" helped motivate him.
He was asked whether he avoided, because of superstition, walking past a poster of himself in the clubhouse that shows him clutching last year's trophy.
He was asked whether he had donated money to the fund for a deceased British female tennis player, Elena Baltacha. (The hoped-for answer apparently was no, so tabloid headlines could scream: ANDY CHEAPSKATE!).
He was asked whether any particular boxer inspired him.
He was asked about an opponent possibly pooping in his pants when he plays him.
And of course, there was the inevitable: "With England football out of the World Cup, do you feel you are now giving British sports fans something to cheer about?"
To Murray's credit, he did not, nor has he ever, said that he is from Scotland and Scotland has its own team.
Also winning on the men's side was Novak Djokovic, the No. 1-seeded male player, who lost to Murray in last year's final. He beat Andrey Golubev of Kazakhstan, 6-0, 6-1, 6-4.
Former champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, seeded sixth, advanced on the women's side, as did No. 2 Li Na of China. No. 8 Victoria Azarenka of Belarus won, but No. 17 Samantha Stosur of Australia, former U.S. Open champion, was upset by Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium.
U.S. hope Sloane Stephens, who had played her way up to a No. 18 seed, went out in two sets at the hands of Russia's Maria Kirilenko.
No. 6 Tomas Berdych of the Czech Republic outlasted Romania's Victor Hanescu.
Shaq sighting
Sitting in the Royal Box for the Murray match was that longtime tennis aficionado, Shaquille O'Neal. Murray reported spoke to him afterward and said that Shaq told him this was his first viewing of a tennis match.
"He's a big boy. That's for sure," Murray said.
Billie Jean's back
Billie Jean King was back at Wimbledon for the 54th consecutive year — as a player, coach or broadcaster. Her first trip was in 1961, when she won the women's doubles with Karen Hantze Susman.
"She's out on the practice courts," reported her longtime partner, Ilana Kloss. "She's hitting with a couple of young players. She never stops."

Pep Guardiola's men were rarely troubled after striking twice in the opening 22 minutes through centre-half Dante and midfielder Thiago Alcantara
The German side dominated proceedings throughout and had little difficulty in dispatching Casbalanca - who surprised the likes of Monterrey and Atletico Mineiro en route to the final - to end a magnificent year on a high as world champions, adding the trophy to their Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal, UEFA Champions League and UEFA Super Cup titles.
Pep Guardiola's men broke the deadlock inside the first 10 minutes, with defender Dante turning home from Jerome Boateng's knock down in Marrakech.
And their advantage was quickly doubled midway through the first half as Thiago Alcantara netted with a fine strike from just inside the area.
Casablanca provided more stern resistance in the second half, but Faouzi Benzarti's team never looked like mounting a comeback, with Bayern comfortably holding on to secure their first triumph in an inter-continental competition since their 2001 success in the Intercontinental Cup.
Guardiola made three changes to the side that beat Guangzhou Evergrande 3-0 in the semi-final, with Dante, Xherdan Shaqiri and Thomas Muller all coming in against Casablanca, who named an unchanged team.
Bayern's superiority took only seven minutes to surface as Dante's powerful close-range effort was allowed to stand despite suspicions of offside, the goal coming just after Mouhssine Iajour had gone close at the other end.
The gulf in class was evident throughout the first half, and Bayern should have doubled their lead when David Alaba's tame finish was saved by Casablanca goalkeeper Khalid Askri following excellent build-up play with Muller.
Casablanca proved a threat on the counter but their task was made even harder in the 22nd minute, as Thiago met Alaba's pull-back with a sumptuous finish that flew past Askri and into the top corner.
The Bavarians spurned chances to extend their advantage further as Dante headed over from a corner, before Shaqiri forced Askri into another strong save.
Casablanca almost pulled a goal back in bizarre fashion when goalkeeper Manuel Neuer cleared the ball straight to Chemseddine Chtibi.
However, the midfielder failed to capitalise with a poor effort that flew well wide.
Bayern were denied a penalty shortly before the interval, despite Ismail Benlamalem appearing to bring down Franck Ribery.
Fortune continued to keep Casablanca's faint hopes alive just after the hour as the crossbar kept out Shaqiri's close-range effort.
Casablanca captain Mohsine Moutaouali somehow fired over after Neuer had saved from Vivien Mabide's effort, but that proved to be the last chance of a largely uneventful second half, with Bayern closing the game out to seal the world title 37 years to the day of their maiden inter-continental cup triumph.

Most everyone likes a good mystery. As the narrative starts, we begin to wonder how it is going to come out, and increasingly we just have to know. This need to uncover the mystery lures us on. One important rule is that the conclusion cannot come out of the blue. Even with false leads and red herrings, the mystery's conclusion is satisfying only if we have been given hints along the way. Another rule is that once the mystery is revealed, the whole plot ought to make sense.
God, it seems, has been luring us all along with his own mystery. Over 20 times in his letters Paul refers to God's mystery being revealed. In our second reading, from the Letter to the Ephesians, he tells us that "the mystery was made known to me by revelation." Further, this is the key to "insight into the mystery of Christ" (3:4). And what is that mystery, this key into Christ? Gentiles belong to the same body and are co-heirs and partners in Christ Jesus. This may seem anticlimactic, but do not count Paul (or God) short here. It was a highly controversial idea.
Like any good mystery, hints were laid from the beginning. In Genesis we learn that all the families will be blessed through Abraham (Gn 12:3). Isaiah regularly declares that God's glory and salvation reach to the ends of the earth and that God desires all people to know him (e.g., Is 40:5; 49:6). Peter even sees the Pentecost event as a fulfillment of Joel's prophecy that God's Spirit would be poured out over all peoples (Acts 2:14-21).
Today's first reading, from the Book of Isaiah, reflects this universalism with emphasis that the glory and light for the world are centered on Israel. Israel is the magnet drawing people in. Nations who are covered in "darkness" and "thick clouds" shall "walk by your light, and kings by your shining radiance." The nations will also bring gifts to God's people and offerings to the temple. Isaiah mentions gold and frankincense.
The Gospel reading is about the Magi following the star that announces the newborn King of the Jews. Their gifts have been traditionally understood to refer to Christ's royal (gold) and priestly (frankincense) dignity. The myrrh, a kind of perfumed ointment, anticipated his sacrificial death. These gifts from the nations are not the only Old Testament parallels. Consider, for example, that Jesus escapes from Herod's slaying of male infants as did Moses from Pharaoh. Interestingly, Moses and Israel are blessed by Balaam, a magus (singular of magi) who comes from the East (Nm 22-24). More clues.
The word epiphany means manifestation. Surely this includes the star that manifested the birth of the savior. Here the light that Isaiah spoke of shines above the world's darkness, announcing the King of the Jews to the whole world. The Epiphany feast also continues to celebrate the birth of Christ, the ultimate manifestation of God (Col 1:15). Finally, we celebrate the Magi themselves. Their journey to the newborn King of the Jews, their worship of him and gifts for him manifest that God's universal salvation has come. Paul sees this last part as the core mystery of Christ.
While God's will for universal salvation seems obvious to us, really embracing it, really integrating it into our hearts is as challenging as it gets. We may all believe that everyone is created in God's image and loved and cherished by God. Still, we could check ourselves for any penchant to marginalize another. Who in our lives do we tend to dismiss or disregard? While we might easily say that everyone is created in God's image, that God loves all and that all matter, is that really how we live? To truly penetrate this mystery requires that we take its implications seriously in our lives. A great epiphany is to know the glory of God's love reflected in everyone we meet. It is a profound mystery, indeed.

Louisiana Utility Dispels GNSS Signal Shadow with Trimble Floodlight4 Apr, 2012 By: Kevin Corbley
Satellite shadow–reduction technology enables St. Charles Parish Waterworks crews to map infrastructure features under tree cover.
The last straw for utility personnel in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, came when an underground water pipeline burst beneath a busy street. Traffic had to be diverted as the water continued to spill onto the pavement. An hour passed before workers from the Waterworks Department found the shutoff valve and stopped the deluge. The delay was caused by a faulty map that showed the valve's location on the wrong side of the street.
As is true for many local government departments, the St. Charles Waterworks relied on as-built drawings and sketches supplied by developers and engineering firms to keep the network of underground water pipes updated in its GIS. At the time, the parish had no other option because it lacked internal mapping capabilities.
In 2008, St. Charles created a GIS Office to support mapping needs of all other parish departments and hired Luis Martinez to manage it. Fortunately, Martinez had been trained to use GNSS technology for GIS data collection in his previous position. He convinced the parish it would be cost-effective to invest in mapping- and survey-grade GNSS (global navigation satellite system) equipment and train personnel to use it as part of their daily operations.
"The first personnel we trained were the Waterworks and Public Works crews," said Martinez. He explained that Waterworks is responsible for maintaining, repairing, and upgrading the parish's network of above- and below-ground water pipelines. Public Works manages the storm protection and drainage infrastructure, such as catch basins, ditches, and levees.
The GIS Office maintains a parish-wide, Internet-accessible GIS comprising layers for nearly all departments. Aside from Public Works, the Waterworks Department has the most rapidly evolving geospatial data layers in the parish. With new water pipes being installed and old ones being replaced, the Waterworks infrastructure map is constantly in flux. Handheld GNSS-based GIS data collection units were seen as the ideal solution for keeping layers accurate and up to date.
Waterworks crews experienced problems with accuracy, however, when working beneath the stately oak trees that line many parish residential streets. The oak canopies deflect and partially block GNSS signals from reaching the receivers, impairing productivity through a phenomenon called satellite shadow. This same signal deflection problem often challenges mapping crews working among tall buildings in cities.
Martinez quickly identified the satellite shadow problem and upgraded the parish GNSS equipment to the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 series. These handheld GIS mapping devices come equipped with Trimble Floodlight capability, which overcomes the productivity-reducing effects of satellite shadow without sacrificing accuracy. The technology accomplishes this through a combination of tracking algorithms, altitude-constrained positioning, and multi-constellation positioning, which benefits from both GPS and GLONASS (Russia's version of GPS).
Waterworks personnel began using Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 GeoXH handhelds and Esri ArcPad data collection software at every excavation project. As new pipe is laid in the ground, the handheld devices are used to map the location and depth with submeter accuracy before it is buried. Crews use pull-down Esri ArcPad menus on the touch screen to collect key descriptive data relating to each asset, such as the size and composition of the conduit. In addition, locations of other important items such as shutoff valves are mapped onto the GIS layer with the same precision.
St. Charles Waterworks' field workers use Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 handheld computers to map water infrastructure features such as valves and culverts.
"Before Floodlight, we could only get a strong signal from about six satellites, depending on the canopy," said Martinez. "[Even with differential correction,] only 60 percent of our points achieved the desired 15-cm / 6-inch accuracy, while the majority of the rest were off by as much as three feet or more."
Today, Waterworks crews routinely lock onto 12–13 satellites and achieve 15-cm/6-inch accuracy for 85 to 90% of all points in feature mapping projects with the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 handheld. In the field, they use a Bluetooth connection and cell phone to access differential correction points published on the Internet by a local continuously operating reference station (CORS). Points are corrected in real time with Trimble GPScorrect extension for Esri ArcPad software running on the handheld.
"Floodlight allows us to maintain mapping accuracy," explained Martinez, "and it pays for itself by saving time for field crews. Without the technology, crews had to measure offset positions to get out from under the trees."
This task became unnecessary once they obtained the Trimble GeoExplorer 6000 handhelds. Martinez said that measuring an offset could take two to five extra minutes to collect a single position, compared to just 15 seconds when occupying the feature itself. In addition, Floodlight technology allows the receiver to maintain satellite lock when it is put back in the vehicle for the drive to the next collection point. This shaves several more minutes off each point collection.
"Waterworks is so pleased with the GeoExplorer 6000s that they plan to buy two just for their department," said Martinez. "They will integrate the mapping units with electromagnetic line-locating devices to map the pipes already buried underground."
The St. Charles GIS has never been more up-to-date and information-rich than it is now, but Martinez sees room to grow and is considering expanding the use of Trimble GIS mapping equipment to other departments, including Planning and Zoning. Inspectors from this department will soon carry integrated GIS mapping devices that enable them to document code violations in writing with time- and location-stamped photographs.

NBA Life: Bonner adjusts to travel, and to a new addition to the family
December 08. 2012 8:39PM
Matt Bonner loves his Pontiac Grand Prix, but it might be time for a minivan. The nine-year NBA veteran, wife Nadia and daughter Evangeline-Vesper have been adjusting to a family of four since the arrival of August David Ali Bonner. The healthy 7-pound, 5-ounce boy was born in August.
The Spurs returned home from a 10-day road trip, defeating Memphis, Milwaukee and Houston last week. Bonner has netted at least one 3-pointer in four straight games and leads the NBA with a 52-percent success rate from behind the arc. This week, we gave the Red Rocket some rapid-fire questions before the Spurs took on Houston.
Sunday News: What have you been doing to occupy yourself on the homestand?
Matt Bonner: Changing diapers.
SN: How long did it take you to recover from that road trip?
MB: About 30 seconds. Returning home from the East Coast is easy. It's coming from the West Coast that really screws up your sleep patterns.
SN: Do you still carry $2 bills for tipping purposes?
MB: With inflation and the devaluation of the dollar, it only makes sense.
SN: December is Seasonal Depression Awareness Month. How are you coping so far?
MB: Right now it's 80 degrees and sunny outside.
SN: Have you ever thought about waving your index finger like Dikembe Mutombo after hitting a 3-pointer? That could be your new thing.
MB: I prefer to do that after I swat a shot into the third row. So basically never.
SN: Do you have a sneaker deal yet?
MB: No. Sometimes I feel like I should be on the island for misfit toys.
SN: Do you ever buy a pack of NBA trading cards to see if you're inside?
MB: No.
SN: One of your rookie cards recently sold for $15 on eBay. Is this a good sign or bad sign for the economy?
MB: I don't know what that says about the economy, but I congratulate the vendor for getting a 3,000-percent markup for it.
SN: Why do you wear No. 15?
MB: I wore it for some random reason in college, and it just stuck.
SN: What is mutton bustin'?
MB: I might be the only Spurs player who knows this. Isn't it when you take a kid, and they grab onto a pig, and they smack the pig in the butt, and he has to hold on?
SN: What's on your iPod?
MB: Some Arcade Fire. I love the new Springsteen album. Deer Tick, The Antlers and you can't go wrong with some old-school Okkervil River.
SN: What is Frito Pie?
MB: I have no idea. I'm guessing a bunch of Frito chips mixed in with some chili.
SN: Have you ever asked an NBA player for his autograph?
MB: I never have for myself. The only player I wouldn't hesitate to ask, should I ever see him, would be Larry Bird. I was always Larry Bird in the driveway when I was a kid.
SN: Have you ever asked anyone for an autograph?
MB: Yes, I have gotten Gene Keady and John Wooden to sign their respective books for me. Also, I got Kevin Gray to sign his Millrats jersey, which I have framed and hanging in my living room above the fireplace for all to admire.
Bonner discusses The NBA Life each week with radio broadcaster Chris Ryan and New Hampshire Union Leader reporter Kevin Gray. The interview appears weekly in the N.H. Sunday News.

Public schoolchildren have exactly one more school year to buy high-calorie sandwich cookies and sugary energy drinks from vending machines and snack bars at school.
Beginning in the 2014-15 school year, public schools across the country will have to comply with new standards for snacks sold on their campuses.
Those new standards include limits on calorie, fat, sodium and sugar for all foods and drinks sold during the day at 100,000 schools.
Doughnuts and cookies will be out, baked chips and granola bars will be in. Sugary drinks like fruit punch and sports drinks will be replaced by no-calorie flavored water and diet sodas.
The new standards were laid out by the U.S. Department of Agriculture on Friday.
To be clear, the USDA snack standards only affect food and drinks sold at schools during the day and do not apply to food that kids bring from home.
School groups can still sell bags of chocolate chip cookies and brownies at fundraising bake sales on campus--once the school day is over, and kids can still bring in cupcakes for the class on birthdays.
The USDA regulations for snacks sold at schools follows on the heels of nutritional guidelines for subsidized school lunches that were revised last year and implemented last fall.
"Millions of children will benefit from having healthier options because of the updated USDA standards for snacks and drinks sold in schools—where many of our kids consume up to half their daily calories," said Maya Rockeymoore, director of Leadership for Healthy Communities, a policy group that is working to fight childhood obesity, in a statement.
In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Assn. Pediatrics, researchers found that as of mid-June, more than three quarters of the nation's public elementary schools faced no state or district limits on the sale of candy, salty snacks and sugary drinks.

Pinoy Australia Information Forum was founded by a small group of Filipinos whose aim is to migrate to Australia. It is now a leading online Filipino-Australian community site for Filipinos in Australia and a valuable resource for people also planning to migrate to Australia.
I'm very happy to announce PinoyAu Forum's new app called "SimplyStall" . It's a new Gumtree like service for Pinoys in Australia but in a way better!
So if you have any items just collecting dust? Why not convert it to cash?
If you are selling new items or products or wish to give an item away for free then this might be a good avenue for you.
This project is a new initiative to unify and have a common portal for Pinoys in Australia to sell and share stuffs.
It's now available on Google Play and Apple App Store.
Please do try it out. I'd appreciate if you can help me spread the good news and start selling your old or new stuffs.

Exploring the French Basque Region
This past fall, Ihsan, Valerie and I spent a rainy week in October traveling through southern Gascony and the Pays Basque region of southwestern France. Following the mountains along the French and Spanish border, the narrow, curvy roads passed through shady forested nooks, over cold rivers and around very steep green hills dotted with fluffy sheep. The cheeses made from the rich milk of these sheep or 'brebis,' were the focus of our journey but, along the way, we were treated to the very best of rustic, rich Gascon and Basque foods.
We began our cheese tour of the region by visiting with an affineur or ager of cheese named Christian. His lovely cheese cave is located in a defunct railroad tunnel. Local farmers who don't have the space or the time to properly age and care for their own cheeses bring them to Christian's cave, which is operated on a traditional trading system, referred to as the dîme ("tithe" in English) where the cave's owners keep one cheese out of every 12 that they age. No money is exchanged. Nearly all of the cheeses aged here are produced in the mountain zone, La Haute Vallée Béarnaise, where sheep graze on lush mountain pastures. The finished brebis tommes exemplify the sheep's milk cheese style of the region: large wheels with rounded edges, smooth in texture and rich in flavor.
A little further west, we visited another affineur who operates on the same system, but on a smaller scale. Mary-Jo ages cheeses from only 20 farmers, located around the Haut-Béarn region. Her small cheese cave is located in the old stone barn of a 17th century chateau. Besides the typical sheep's milk cheeses, Mary-Jo also impressed us with her cow's milk and also her goat's milk cheeses. All share the same semi-firm consistency and have the buttery, herbal flavor that comes from really good quality milk. We also picked up a bit of her black cherry jam, a very typical accompaniment to the region's rich cheeses. One of the best parts of visiting Mary-Jo was having dinner with the owners of the chateau! We were treated to a rustic vegetable soup and then an ultra-satisfying meal of confit duck legs and breasts, served with green beans and potatoes fried in duck fat. All vegetables were, of course, grown in the garden of the chateau. The after-dinner course featured Mary-Jo's cheeses and homemade fruit jams.
Just a few miles from Mary-Jo's cave, we left Gascony and entered the Pays-Basques. We started to see road signs that were printed in the mystifying Euskara language as well as in French, and houses and businesses were decorated with Basque crosses, bright colors and signs in the typical Basque font. Our favorite cheese visit in this part of the Pyrénées was to a little co-operative. Here, under the friendly guidance of Bruce Springsteen lover Peio, sheep's milk is collected from 17 local farmers and made into the traditional Basque Ardi Gazna and the AOC Brebis d'Ossau. Only one full time person is employed to make the cheese, but he has help from a part time worker in addition to 6 hour rotating shifts by the farmers themselves. The goal of this relatively young co-op is to provide an outlet for farmers to sell their milk at a good price, superior to the industrial rates, thereby allowing the farmers to preserve their heritage of traditional, local cheeses. We loved their hearty, complex and satisfying Ardi Gazna and are proud to be able to add it to our cheese wall. We're certainly happy to eat our fill of this delicious cheese to help out these farmers!
After 4 days of eating cheese all day every day, we decided to take a little break and spend a day in the town of Itxassou. Famous for its cherries, Itaxassou (or Itsasu in Basque) is also one of eleven AOC towns permitted by the French government to grow one of our all-time favorite hot peppers: Piment d'Espelette.
Our trip fell just at pepper harvest time and, when we arrived at our favorite family-run Piment d'Espelette farm, mother, daughter and neighbor were working together cleaning these bright red peppers. Naturally, we wanted to join in, so we quickly donned aprons and rubber gloves and sat down to help, instantly doubling the workforce! We learned to split each pepper individually, to check inside for mold, and then to pop off the stem. Good peppers went into crates, and the very few bad peppers were tossed out.
While we worked, we chatted about the history of the farm (the farm house is so old that no one knows exactly how old it is, just that it was built sometime in the 1400s) and the other tasks the family performs (like taking care of their sheep). We took a walk down the hill to see the pepper fields, and also traveled a short distance by car to see the drying machine and the pulverizer used to make the dried peppers into the fluffy piment d'espelette. The two machines are shared by 5 small pepper producing farms. Dinner that night was in the town of Espelette, a town or two over from Itaxassou, and naturally every plate was either pre-sprinkled with the bright red flakes, or served with a dish of the pepper on the side.
The story of our trip would be incomplete if we failed to mention the enormous salad we were had for dinner in Espelette. This "salad" was served on a plate the size of a hubcap. The greens were almost completely obscured by 5 or 6 huge slices of jamón, a mountain of hot confited duck hearts and gizzards, and two heroic slabs of foie gras torchon sprinkled with coarse salt and piment. It was, in short, a monument to the interplay of Gascon and Basque cuisine, and only with the help of a bottle (or two) of dark red Irouleguy wine did we power through it. The very next day, after recovering from dinner, we placed our Piment d'Espelette order.
One of the last stops on our tour was the village of Sare, where, in the 16th century Arraya Hotel, we dined on sheep's milk crème brulee and discovered one of our best finds yet – perfect Basque jams made from fresh, local fruits. The Arraya cherry jam is made from red, rather than black cherries, and has an enticing tartness that perfectly balances the sweetness. All of the flavors are absolutely exquisite with cheese, and were the perfect ending to a very successful cheese-finding trip.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A jury convicted a North Las Vegas man late Thursday of four charges after he was accused of opening fire during a confrontation with the crew of the reality show "Repo Games" outside his North Las Vegas home almost three years ago.
Carlos Enrique Barron, 43, was found guilty of felony assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon and burglary, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported (http://bit.ly/1abOBWq). He was also convicted of discharging a firearm, a gross misdemeanor.
The jury reached a verdict after three hours of deliberations following Barron's testimony earlier in the day, the newspaper reported. He had faced seven charges.
District Judge James Bixler set a hearing for next week to determine bail pending Barron's sentencing hearing. That hearing will be scheduled next week, the newspaper reported.
Barron could face a sentence ranging from probation to decades in state prison.
Barron, a former special education teacher and homeowner association president, testified that he feared two of the show's crew members were going to attack him before he fired his handgun outside his home in April 2011. No one was hurt.
He testified that he warned the men who emerged from a black van bearing the "Repo Games" logo that he would kill them.
Barron said he fired three shots in the air as people scattered during the confrontation on a suburban cul de sac named Vigilante Court. Police later found a bullet hole in the van.
"I was cussing him out. He was cussing me out," Barron said about the encounter under questioning from his attorney, Richard Tannery. "He said, 'What's your (expletive) problem?'"
"I told him he's not that tough," Barron said.
Barron said he had stayed home sick from work the day of the shooting and took antidepressant, anxiety and blood pressure medications. He was asleep while his wife and children were out of the house.
He said he was awakened after 9 p.m. when his car alarm paged his cellphone, and armed himself with the gun he kept under the bed before going outside in the dark to confront the men in the van. He said he had another vehicle stolen from his driveway several months earlier.
Barron said he was upset that the van blocked his driveway while a crew filmed a vehicle repossession scene down the street. He said he wrestled at the passenger window with a man inside the rolling vehicle before the driver put the van in park and both men got out.
As he backed away up his driveway, Barron said he pulled out his gun and fired two shots into the air.
"I was scared for my life," Barron said, standing in the witness box before the jury to demonstrate how he racked a bullet in the firing chamber before shooting.
He said he fired a third shot moments later, fearing crew members in a tow truck might run over him as they drove out of his neighborhood.
Police found a bullet casing in the middle of the street.
"You didn't really have anything to be afraid of," prosecutor Michael Radovcic said as he cross-examined Barron. Radovcic invoked an image of Barron standing alone and firing a needless shot after people scattered for cover.
Radovcic and prosecutor Alexander Chen cast Barron as the aggressor and asked jurors to remember the bullet hole in the van.
Barron was arrested several hours after the shooting when police SWAT officers surrounded his house and a police K9 attacked him as he jumped over his back wall near the spot where a police jail van was parked.
Barron had a registered Glock 9mm handgun. But the gun used that night was never found.

A chocolate and peanut butter filling sits atop a pretzel crust with more chopped pretzels sprinkled on top. A sweet and salty paradise.
They are quick and easy to throw together being the only part requiring baking is the bottom layer. The baking of the crust gives you just enough time to melt and mix the chocolate and peanut butter together for the simple filling and crush the pretzels for the topping.
The hardest part is waiting the hour or so for them to set up in the freezer.
Even though these disappeared in record speed and hold a bit of an addictive quality to them I thought they could be better. I say this tongue-in-cheek because I ate more than my fair share.
The crust is a little crumbly.
Next time I will swap out the flour in the crust for graham cracker or cookie crumbs and maybe throw some chopped up candy bars (like Reese's Peanut Butter cups) on top alongside the pretzels and add a drizzle of chocolate over top.
I love the sound of that.
Yes, there will definitely be a next time.
- 1 + ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup ground pretzels (measure after crushing)
- ⅓ cup confectioners' sugar
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup coarsely chopped pretzels, for topping
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9" x 13" baking pan with parchment, leaving long ends to use to remove the bars from the pan.
- Whisk together the flour, ground pretzels and sugar until well combined. Mix in the melted butter using your fingers to evenly distribute it. You should have a soft but not wet dough.
- Press the dough evenly into the pan and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. While the crust cooks make the filling.
- In a double boiler or using a microwave melt the chocolate chips, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy. Add the peanut butter and stir until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the filling over the warm crust and spread out evenly. Tap the pan on the counter to allow air bubbles to escape.
- Spread the filling evenly over the crust, and tap the pan on the counter a few times to remove air bubbles. Sprinkle the remaining crushed pretzels on top and slightly press them down so they stick in the chocolate.
- Chill in the freezer for 1 hour. Use the parchment to lift the bars out of the pan onto a cutting board. Use a large chef's knife to slice into squares or bars. Serve frozen, chilled or at room temperature.

What do the punk rockers do when they get too old to rage against machines? Some of them refocus their anger and creativity in a different direction. Some of them turn to acoustic folk.
Put Chuck Ragan in that category. The former leader of Hot Water Music -- an unusually intense punk band I remember from an incindiary Warped Tour performance at Hampton Coliseum -- has unplugged and embraced a lower-volume form of rebellion.
Ragan's newest album, "Covering Ground," is set for a Sept. 13 release.
Today's free track, a new song from Ragan, shows where his mind is these days. Ragan and his bluegrass-flavored band opened for Social Distortion at The NorVa earlier this year. He'll be back in the area on Sept. 15 opening for the Dropkick Murphys at Portsmouth's amphitheater.
"Nomad By Fate" is yours in exchange for an e-mail address.
Listen to the song here:
Here's a press release about the new album:
SideOneDummy is proud to announce the third studio album by Chuck Ragan, Covering Ground will be released on September 13, 2011. The latest album from the longtime frontman of Hot Water Music sees him continuing in the tradition of 2007's Feast Or Famine and 2009's Gold Country while also further developing his unique blend of folk music, americana and punk rock, proving once again that Ragan is one of the most honest and versatile singer-songwriters today.
Featuring longtime collaborator Jon Gaunt on Fiddle and Joe Ginsberg on upright bass in addition to guest appearances from the Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon, Blind Melon's Chris Thorn, Squirrel Nut Zippers' Chris Phillips, Frank Turner and Audra Mae, the album is the sonic equivalent to Jack Kerouac's On The Road and could only be written by someone who has spent the last seventeen years traversing the country playing music and lifestyle that entails. "The majority of these songs were written on the road and a lot of them over the last year," Ragan explains. "I feel like I've written more these past five years than I have my entire life."
Since Gold Country Ragan has toured with everyone from Social Distortion to the Gaslight Anthem in addition to his own headlining appearances and his work on the Revival Tour, a traveling road show that he began in 2008. "The tours we've done over the past few years have been incredible because we've played for a wide range of folks who wouldn't normally have any idea that we're around and that's a huge opportunity," Ragan explains. "I feel like if people spend their time, money and energy to give us the time of day then we're going to give them everything we've got every night."
That energy and enthusiasm is present on every note of Covering Ground from the impassioned hymns such as "Meet You In The Middle" to gospel-infected numbers like "Right As Rain" and instantly recognizable tunes like "Nothing Left To Prove," all of which prove how much Ragan's range and arrangements have grown since he embarked on his solo career five years ago. "Making this music is our passion but at the same time it's our livelihood," Ragan summarizes. "It's easy to get jaded on the road and the struggle is always trying to find that balance between work and passion."
Covering Ground is the sound of that harmony brought to life—and, trust us, it sounds pretty damn good.

Durant scores career-high 54 against Warriors
Oklahoma City (AP) — Kevin Durant drained three 3-pointers in 75 seconds. And when the crowd wanted even more, the NBA's leading scorer responded.
Durant poured in a career-high 54 points in an incredibly efficient performance, helping the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Golden State Warriors 127-121 on Friday night.
The 6-foot-9 forward had 11 points during one two-minute stretch in the fourth quarter, powering the Thunder to a 17-point lead. With the crowd of 18,203 chanting "MVP! MVP!" he made two foul shots with 2:45 remaining to establish a new career-best scoring total.
"When you've got it going, I look at the bench and see how my teammates are reacting, and that just gives me an extra push," Durant said. "Then, I hear the fans."
Durant made 19 of 28 field goals and 11 of 13 free throws in his third straight game with at least 36 points.
"As a leader, my main objective is to serve my teammates, help them out," he said. "Some nights, I've got to put it up, I've got to score. Some nights, I've got to do other things. Tonight, they found me and I was able to hit a few shots. I just tried to do as best as I can to lead the team and lead us to victory."
It was the kind of performance that gets fans fired up about postseason awards in mid-January.
"It's premature," Durant said. "It's way too early in the season. I try not to think about that type of stuff. Of course, as a player, you'd love to win an MVP award, but I can't take my focus off the team. Every day, I've just got to keep chipping away, keep enjoying the process, and we'll see what happens."
Serge Ibaka had 21 points and eight rebounds, Reggie Jackson scored 14 points and Kendrick Perkins added 12 rebounds for the Thunder (30-10), who won for the third time in four games. Oklahoma City shot 58 percent from the field and scored a season-high point total.
Stephen Curry had 37 points and 11 assists, and Klay Thompson added 26 points for the Warriors (25-16), who shot 52 percent but simply couldn't match up with Durant.
"We battled him for the most part, and he got hot in the fourth and knocked down some big shots for them," Warriors center Andrew Bogut said. "There's a reason why he's a perennial All-Star and future Hall of Famer, and possibly MVP this year."
Golden State coach Mark Jackson was disappointed with his team's defense.
"We're a good enough defensive team to give a little better effort, fight a little bit harder," Jackson said.
Oklahoma City led 39-32 at the end of the first quarter after shooting 78.3 percent from the field. It had a 71-65 advantage at the break after a season high for points in a half for the Thunder.
Curry had 22 points and eight assists in the first half and Thompson scored 21 points before the break. The Warriors made 10 of 16 3-pointers in the first half to stay in the game.
Andre Iguodala scored his first points of the game on a steal and dunk that cut Oklahoma City's lead to 82-79 midway through the third, but the Thunder steadily pulled away the rest of the period. A mid-range jumper by Durant pushed Oklahoma City's advantage to 96-86, and the Thunder led 101-91 heading into the final quarter.
Durant then closed by scoring 15 points in the fourth.
"You let a guy like KD, he leads the league in scoring, start off the game as hot as he did . It was tough to start off the game like that and then try to get stops against a dynamic scorer like that, especially when he's hitting everything," Curry said.
Durant gave his teammates credit.
"It's the small things that go into a game to help us win, and everybody did them tonight," he said.
NOTES: The previous two meetings between the Thunder and Warriors were decided by last-second shots. In the first game on Nov. 14, Iguodala hit a fallaway game-winning jumper for Golden State. In the second game, on Nov. 29, Russell Westbrook hit the game-winner in overtime. ... Golden State G Jordan Crawford played for the first time since being acquired from Boston in a three-team trade. He finished with eight points in 15 minutes. ... Former UFC heavyweight champion Randy Couture attended the game.

Potential Student Participants
The Clinic Experience
The International Human Rights Clinic gives Cornell Law students the opportunity to gain first-hand experience working on human rights matters. Student participants will:
- Learn to describe issues in human rights terms
- Formulate demands using human rights accountability tools
- Develop strategies that utilize key features of human rights law
- Enhance international research, writing, and oral communication skills
Participation in the Clinic involves a classroom component as well as a practice component. In the classroom component, students obtain a foundation in international human rights law and practice through lectures, discussions, and simulation exercises.
For the practice component, students are divided into collaborative teams, each of which works on a substantive human rights project. These projects can involve impact litigation, direct legal assistance, or legislative advocacy, and they often require collaboration with international NGOs. Examples of past clinic projects can be found here. Some projects may involve international field research. For instance, Clinic students recently traveled to Colombia in connection with a project involving the right to education. Student teams work closely with the Clinic director throughout the course, receiving close guidance and regular feedback.
Student Selection
If you would like to apply to the Clinic, please pre-register for the Clinic and also submit your resume, transcript (unofficial is acceptable), a writing sample, and a short essay describing why you are interested in taking the Clinic and highlighting your experience in the area of human rights (if any) as well as any language abilities to Professor Kalantry (email@example.com) by the deadline given in current course registration materials. Professor Kalantry considers the following factors:
- Interest and experience in working on human rights issues
- Prior course work in international law or human rights
- Legal writing and research experience
- Ability to work well with others


text: We're less than a month away from the start of the NFL season, so it's time to start the impassioned season previews from various writers, bloggers, diehard fans, cooks, TV personalities, and numerous other walks of life whom consider football the only sport worth watching. This year, the previews will be a little shorter, but will hopefully give us enough of a taste so that, come fall, we'll all be officially sick of previews. If you'd like to volunteer to write one for this year, please email me at email@example.com There are still some teams in desperate search of an author. Right now: the lovable Houston Texans. Your author is Matthew Campbell. Matt Campbell is the founder of Da Good, Da Bad, and DeMeco His words are after the jump.I get the question a lot. "Texans fan, huh," they ask. "How'd that happen?" As if I'd just told them I shit my pants. "How did you wind up following them?" They always stressed the "them" the same way I imagine Republican households do when referring to black people. I used to try to explain myself, but even I had to admit that it seemed strange on the surface. Eventually, I stopped trying and simply answered with a shrug. As any Texans fan will tell you, the true test of our fandom came on April 29, 2006, when the team drafted Mario Williams. On that day, the fanbase divided quickly into three distinct groups. There were those that loved the pick. I was in that group, along with about nine other people. There were those that hated the pick but were still loyal to the team. And there were those who said to hell with the team and let their fandom follow the Vince Young to the Baby-Eating Sister-Fuckers. (Note: This last group of people, along with all other Titans fans, can feel free to burn in Hell with the dark lord, Bud Adams.) To make matters worse for the groups who remained loyal, 2006 was anything but a fun year. Mario suffered an early foot injury and, though he played well, the Texans finished 6-10. Meanwhile, Vince Young was gently fluffed by the media and Reggie Bush made the playoffs, where he was appropriately greeted by Sheldon Brown. All season long, ESPN and other bastions of journalistic standards openly mocked the Texans' decision to skip the Two Surefire Guaranteed 100% Hall Of Famers in favor of The Biggest Bust In The History Of The Universe. But a funny thing happened on the way to the Hall of Fame. In 2007, Reggie Bush blossomed into a huge vagina too afraid to run between the tackles. (No offense to vaginas.) Vince took a step backward and was nothing short of horrific as a passer, possibly because he ate paint chips as a child. (Random side note, for those who will chime in with "Yeah, but Vince just wins games": Radio's career record: 17-11. "Choker" Rex Grossman's? 19-11.) At the same time, Mario took a gigantic dump in the mouths of those who doubted him, posting 14 sacks, including 3.5 on his Thursday night prime time debut, and dominating down the stretch, even as teams double- and triple-teamed him. For those who were in Mario's camp from the get-go, there is a feeling of satisfaction as we watch the rest of the world realize what we've known all along—Mario is better than Jesus. Those two guys we passed on? Please. There is no way Jesus Christ would have twice as many INTs and TDs, and, even in sandals, ol' JC could certainly average more than 3.7 yards per carry. (Hell, even Ron Dayne averaged more than 4 yards per carry last year.) But Jesus could never stop Mario Williams. Never. You walk on water? Great, see if that helps you with this swim move. Didn't think so. Jesus would have better luck trying to teach Vince Young to read. So, in the end, you can keep your overhyped Eric Metcalf clone, your poor man's Randall Cunningham, and your Almighty Lord and Savior. I'll take Mario.

My son will be 6 months old in a few days and I love him more than life. He is a joy during the day and naps pretty decent (2-3 naps lasting about 45 mins to 1 1/2 hrs.) Night time is another story though and I think I might go crazy very soon if he doesn't start sleeping. He goes down anywhere between 8:30 - 10:00 and usually goes down without much fuss. He will just lay in my husbands arms and fall asleep with a little rocking. He eats usually within a hour before going to be and we will sometimes have a bottle ready to help coax him to sleep when he decides to fight his sleep. The problem is that for the last 3 nights, he has woken up every 25 -45 mins. This goes on ALL night long until around 5-6. Then he conks out until atleast 7 if not 8am. I am not sure how he even gets thru the day with such little sleep and i am sure that I will pass out one of these days from the lack of sleep. he will usually eat 2-4 ounces thru the night, around 2-3 AM.
So I am wondering if he is going through a phase or if this is a common issue? Is there any hope for a good nights sleep for all of us in the near future? I should also mention that he has been "examined" by his doctor and had blood drawn. Nothing is going on medically that the doctor can determine. He is on an acid reflux medicine but he has been on this since birth and this is a very new problem. Before he would sleep until 3 and then up for the day around 6:30.

Thanks Suzanne. We are acutally waiting on a few more test because he randomly has blood in his urine. I think its a cross between growing, teething, and we stopped putting him in his swaddler. He moves around so much at night that we were using them and are slowly letting him sleep with just PJs on. He did fine the first couple of nights and does fine all day in just clothes or PJs. I wanted to stop using the swaddler because he has been rolling a lot in his sleep but now I might have to go back just to get a decent nights sleep...LOL
Oh you poor thing! I remember those days! I'm sure your other mom friends will tell you that if your doctor has already checked him, then he is just going through a phase. (And that first year is such an adjustment for a new mom...) Our son never slept through the night until 21 months old! We had him checked for everything and finally our doctor said he was just stubborn! Let's hope this is phase won't last long! Take care! BTW, I'm a mother of 3 and have survived many different struggles with my kids, you will too! :)

Medicines have been used to help mankind ease suffering and promote healing for over 4,000 years. Over time, the ability to diagnose and treat diseases has steadily grown. Some of the greatest and most rapid advances in medicine have occurred in our lifetime, such as the discovery of antibiotics, insulin, and drugs to fight cancer, just to name a few. Today we have access to many medicines that protect and prolong life.
Along with more drugs being available to our health care professionals, the recent trend is to make more medications available directly to you - the consumer. Thus, medications which have been proven to be generally safe and effective as prescription drugs, are often becoming available over-the-counter at your local pharmacy.
With all of these advances come the benefits of better health and convenience. However, potential risks must always be considered along with possible benefits. Potential risks include increased side effects, drug-drug interactions, drug-food interactions, drug-disease interactions, unintentional overdoses, and self-medicating when a doctor should have been consulted.
In addition to its desired benefits, a drug may cause undesired, troublesome effects called "side effects." It is important to know the possible side effects of a medicine and what to do if they occur. Many side effects are mild (like nausea) and may go away on their own. However, some drugs can cause more serious unwanted effects that require a change of medication or other medical attention.
When two or more drugs are taken together, an interaction may occur. This can affect the way the medications work in the body. Occasionally, two drugs should not be taken together at all. Other times, medicines can be used together even though an interaction is expected. However, special doses, precautions or other instructions from your health care professional may be necessary.
Food can affect the way your medicines work. You should know if the best way to take your medicine is with or without food. Also, avoiding some foods completely may be necessary to prevent dangerous effects while taking certain drugs. For example, foods with high tyramine content (like some aged cheeses) should be avoided while taking antidepressants called MAO inhibitors.
Sometimes a medication prescribed or taken for one problem can make another problem worse. For instance, if you have high blood pressure, the decongestants found in many over-the-counter cold products can increase the blood pressure even further. Patients with active stomach ulcers or even a past history of stomach ulcers should generally avoid certain over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers and anti-inflammatories. However, in some cases your doctor may feel that the benefits of using a drug outweigh the potential risks. In these cases, changes in dose, monitoring or other special precautions may be advised.
It is very important that the doctor, pharmacist, and patient work together as a team to get the most benefit out of drug therapy. To lessen risks, patients must become an active member of their health care team. As a patient, you need to provide information about your medical problems and all of the medications that you take, including prescription and nonprescription drugs, as well as herbal products, vitamins and dietary supplements to each doctor or pharmacist you see. Keep a written, updated list to help remember all of this information.
This list should also be available to someone in your immediate family in case of a medical emergency.
You also need to know some things about each medication you are taking.
Things you should ask your doctor or pharmacist:
Be prepared to write down the answers right away so you will remember all the details. You can also ask your health care professional if written information about the medicine is available. Most importantly, do not be afraid to talk with your doctor or pharmacist. ASK QUESTIONS, and if you don't understand something, ask your health care provider or pharmacist to explain it. There is no such thing as a stupid question!
Knowing this information can help you be an active member of your health care team and get the most out of your medicines while minimizing potential adverse events!
This service is intended to help answer your questions about prescription and nonprescription drugs. It is not designed to replace your own health care professionals.

Your algorithm looks perfectly fine to me. random_perm is optimal in the limited sense that it achieves a random permutation in place with the miniminum number of swaps. (You can't do this problem in place without swapping.) It is also nice in that its implementation varies little from language to language, and in that respect it is pretty general. In contrast, to implement the algorithm like the one you posted in C is not straightforward; Perl does a lot behind the scenes to allow one to write splice(@in, rand @in, 1) while @in.
That said, I confess that I am quite surprised by the benchmarks. Then again, this is not by any means the first time that intuitions from C programming as to the efficiencies of various operations turn out to be waaaay off when the problem is translated to Perl. Your post is a good reminder to benchmark, benchmark, benchmark. And just to act on this reminder, I decided to benchmark against your original a version of shuffle that omits the last call to splice:
And once again, my intuition is way off:
BTW, I should clarify that I don't recall the real name of the algorithm used by random_perm, if it actually has a name.
Update: As pointed out by several others, the algorithm used by random_perm goes by the name of Fisher-Yates. I've also found it referred to as "Knuth's shuffle."

I'm an Apple fan. A diehard Apple fan. However, I think Microsoft deserves some credit for innovation. Namely, the Xbox Kinect. Apple brought us a game-changer taking touch gesture mainstream, but Microsoft's Kinect is the future of gesture.
It's easy to see this in a recent showcase by Fast Company of a new platform called KinectShop, an augmented reality shopping platform. See it in action below:
Clearly, there are applications well beyond gaming. If this kind of innovation can still come from within the walls of Microsoft, I think a little more credit is due.

Natural gas bills almost doubleBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 03. 2014 10:03PM
CONCORD — The Public Utilities Commission on Friday approved a rate increase for Liberty Utilities, the state's largest provider of natural gas, that will nearly double the rate from just 14 months ago.
Liberty warned in September that increases in the cost of gas on the wholesale market could cause heating bills to rise by 10 percent this winter. Based on the company's most recent filing with the Public Utilities Commission, bills will be going up a lot more than that for homes that heat with gas.
Robert F. Foster, owner of the Beacon Mill in Laconia, wrote the PUC in opposition to the rate hike, which would bring the current rate of approximately $1.11 per therm to $1.29 per therm for gas supply charges as of March 1.
"A year ago, the price was 68 cents per therm," Foster writes in his comments to the PUC, dated Feb. 19. "I do not claim to understand the factors that go into the assessment of reasonable rates for natural gas, but I want to bring to the board's attention the unanticipated financial burden that is created by close to a doubling in price of a resource that is a substantial component of total expenses required to operate a building in the winter in New Hampshire."
Foster urged regulators to, "Please give this request by Liberty Utilities your careful and skeptical attention and please give consideration to all stakeholders in this matter."
His appeal appears to have been misplaced, because the PUC actually encouraged Liberty to seek a higher rate.
"On January 31, we asked the PUC to allow us to increase our cost of gas rate by 13 cents per therm for the remainder of the winter billing period," wrote John Shore, a Liberty spokesperson.
"After discussions with PUC and the Office of the Consumer Advocate, they recommended we ask for an increase of 18 cents per therm," he continued. "This would reduce the projected under-collection of funds that would need to be recovered during next year's winter season. So we amended our request for increase to 18 cents per therm."
The commission ruled on Feb. 28 in support of the increase, effective March 1 through April 30.
Passing along costs
Liberty serves 86,956 natural gas customers in communities located throughout the Merrimack River valley from Nashua to the Lakes Region, with some in Berlin as well.
The regulated utility does not mark up the cost of gas. It proves to the PUC what it has paid for the gas, and is allowed to pass that cost along to customers, as long as the costs are deemed prudent.
Gas utilities are allowed to increase the price without PUC approval by as much as 25 percent between filings, to keep up with prices on the wholesale market, in what are called "trigger filings."
Despite PUC-approved increases granted throughout last year (see chart on Page 1), and trigger increases in January and February, Liberty still spent $9.3 million more to buy gas than it was able to recover from consumers.
With the rate increase that took effect on March 1, the company will still be $6.2 million in the hole on its natural gas purchases, according to the PUC docket.
That's money that will be recovered from consumers in rate cases and trigger filings in the months ahead. The PUC encouraged the higher-than-requestd increase to soften the impact on customers by spreading the recovery over a longer period of time.
Consumers will continue to pay for the costly, cold winter of 2013-14 well into the summer and fall.
Utilities like Liberty are supposed to protect consumers from such wild price swings by ordering sufficient supplies well in advance of the heating season, and locking in a good price.
"Liberty does have contracts for gas supply that help protect customers from price swings. but the contracts are based on base load, or what we think will be a typical usage for that month," wrote Shore.
"If our customers use more than projected, we need to purchase more gas on the spot market. Those prices are very volatile. This year we had extreme cold for long periods of time across the country which drove prices sky high. And in New England we have a restricted pipeline infrastructure that can only bring so much capacity to the region. That also drives prices up."
The only other major supplier of natural gas for home heating in the state, Unitil/Northern Utilities, serves nearly 30,000 customers in the southeastern and Seacoast areas.

It brings together Dynamo's fully distributed design and Bigtable's ColumnFamily-based data model to provide a unique data storage solution that is suitable to a wide variety of use cases.
Professor Eric Brewer's CAP theorem states that a distributed system design can offer at most two out of three desirable properties: Consistency, Availability, and Partition Tolerance. So, how do you provide consistency when your distributed system's primary requirements are availability and partition tolerance?
In this talk we'll introduce eventual consistency and the four strategies that Cassandra uses to provide it, while still maintaining high availability:
