If you didn't already notice, I am a bit obsessed with latin american cuisine. I love it. I love the bright flavors, the abundance of cilantro, the spice. All of it. Combined with my love of latin american cuisine, is my love of creating lunch items that are stored in the freezer and easily packed each day.
Empanadas make a great freezer meal. I like to make minis and pack a few each day for lunch. Below I included my recipe for homemade chorizo. I developed this recipe by adjusting the spices and cooking small amounts until I loved the flavor. I suggest that method any time you are making a new sausage recipe. Then, allow the flavors to merry overnight. The below recipe is for potato, roasted pepper, and chorizo empanadas.
The other flavor that we have made was using leftover carnitas, corn casserole, fire roasted Anaheim peppers, and Jack cheese. Those are seriously good. They are a great use for leftovers of any kind.
Empanada Dough
Prep Time: 10 minutes plus 1 hour rest
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Ingredients (36 mini empanada)
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 stick cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup ice water
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
In a food processor, pulse flour, butter, salt, and egg until it reaches a sand texture. Add the vinegar. With the food processor on low, drizzle in the ice water. Process until the dough forms a ball. You may need to add more flour if it is too moist or water if it is too dry.
Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough very thin. Cut into three inch diameter circles. Dip your finger in water. Moisten the inner edge the whole way around. Fill with 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of your choice of filling. Stretch the dough around the filling. Using a floured fork, close the empanada by making indentations the whole way around the outer edge.
Place on a rack on a baking sheet. Coat the outside with egg wash (egg and 1 tablespoon water). Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until brown and crispy on the outside. Remove from the oven and enjoy.
These freeze very well.
Chorizo, Potato, and Fire Roasted Pepper Empanada Filling
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients (Filling for 36 mini Empanadas)
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1/2 small yellow onion, diced
- 3/4 pound chorizo
- 1 Idaho Potato
- 2 fire roasted poblano peppers
In a medium skillet, cook onions in oil until translucent. Add the chorizo and cook until brown.
While the onion and chorizo are cooking, microwave the potato until cooked thoroughly.
Add the potato and diced poblano peppers and stir to combine. Cool before stuffing into empanadas.
Prep Time: 10 minutes active 8-24 hours r
Ingredients (8 servings)
- 8 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- 2 pounds ground pork
Place all spices in a food processor. Process until the garlic is finely ground. Pour spices into a bowl with the pork. Mix to combine. Store in a plastic bag for at least 8 hours or up to 24.
It is yummy immediately, you can taste for spices by cooking a small amount in a pan.

John Key's statement that Hekia Parata will remain the Minister of Education in the upcoming Cabinet reshuffle adds insult to injury for students, teachers and parents, the Green Party said today.
"Hekia Parata has time and time again frustrated the education sector, students and families with her damaging plans for education and her poor communication of those plans," said Green Party education spokesperson Catherine Delahunty.
"From class sizes to Christchurch school closures and everything in between, 2012 was a year of poorly explained plans that would worsen our world-class education system.
"Parata has become known around the country for her incoherent rhetoric and her inability to answer simple questions, both in Parliament and with the public.
"Good communication involves listening as well as speaking, and Hekia Parata has time and time again refused to listen to those on the front lines of education.
"We need positive steps towards enhancing quality public education in New Zealand, and a Minister capable of communicating this to all those involved in education.
"Students, parents and teachers deserve a fresh start from this Government in 2013. Keeping Hekia Parata in place as Minister will mean that this sorely needed change in attitude will not occur," Ms Delahunty said.

Tamra Barney
Tamra Barney and Her Son Ryan Are Buffer Than Ever — Check Out Their Muscles
It's a good thing we're not the jealous types, or else we might get something of a complex by seeing how muscular Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney and son Ryan Vieth have gotten. Nope, we're not jealous in the least a bit. Not us.
Owning her CUT Fitness gym with husband Eddie Judge has certainly been paying off for Tamra's bod, as she posted a photo (above) of herself flexing before a workout on February 5.
"I'm about ready to to kill my workout @cutfitoc #plyo #nomakeup #flex," Tamra captions the impressive pic.
Indeed, we almost didn't recognize Tamra here at first, as she invites us all to get a ticket to the gun show. Way to go, Tamra!
Meanwhile, a bearded Ryan posted shirtless selfies (at right) on February 6 to show off his physique, as he explains that he hasn't been lifting weights as much recently. "Been lacking in the gym department," he writes on Instagram. "Lost lbs and haven't been lifting. Needed a mental break."
If you ask us, Ryan still looks amazing, and he clearly has muscles for days. Don't be too hard on yourself, Ry — we all need a break sometimes!
Are you surprised by how Tamra and Ryan are looking?

The Dark Knight Rises Android game is an ambitious failure
by Phil Owen
I can't help but be attracted to big AAA-style games on my phone, because what got me into gaming in the first place was the big actual-AAA games on the computer. So whenever Gameloft cranks out one of their 2GB games, I pay attention. The Dark Knight Rises, which follows the story of the Batman film of the same name, is an attempt at making a mobile version of Batman: Arkham City, but it turns out that's an idea that is a little too complicated for touchscreen controls.
It could be for some people that if you play this game enough you will become good at it, but that never happened for me. Rocksteady's home console Batman games require a deft touch, and it's hard to have a deft touch on a phone. I feel like Gameloft knew that, and so they tried to compensate by making it more linear than Arkham City, but ultimately it's still too clunky for me to embrace it.
What I like, though, is the presentation. This is a "real game," as I like to say. It's one of the rare mobile titles to tell an in-depth story and feature voice acting. Sure, it doesn't have Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway doing their thing, but I can't say that the acting is bad, and that thrills me. It also looks pretty good, aside from when it gets close up on Catwoman's face, which is suspiciously flat here. But there is a lot of detail in, say, Batman's suit, and most of the time you don't get close enough to nitpick the visual flaws. Except when you see Catwoman's face. The Dark Knight Rises' visuals don't rival modern large home console games, but it generally looks really good for a mobile 3-D game. And since it has a lot more information to process than, say, Infinity Blade 2, that's pretty shocking.
At the end of the day, The Dark Knight Rises won't quite satisfy. But I like that Gameloft tried to make a game this big for phones.

Stanley Cup champions finally join Boston winners
BOSTON If it wasn't clear to Claude Julien before he took the job in Boston, it quickly became obvious that the Bruins were struggling in the summer of 2007- on the ice, and in the hearts of the local fans.
A month after he was hired, the Boston Celtics assembled the new Big Three that would lead the NBA's most-decorated franchise to its record 17th championship. Come October, the Red Sox won the World Series for the second time in four seasons. And by the end of the year the Patriots, who had won three Super Bowls in the previous six years, would wrap up a 16-0 regular season.
The dominant pro franchise in the city for most of the century, the Bruins had become an afterthought.
But it was nothing they couldn't cure with a Stanley Cup championship of their own.
"It's great for us to fit in with the other teams in the city," Julien said this month as his team prepared to defend its NHL title. "There's a lot of attention paid to our team right now. When you drive around town, you see stickers on bumpers saying 'Stanley Cup Champions.' There's a lot of people that root for you."
Before Boston had the Impossible Dream, the Tuck Rule or the parquet floor, the Bruins owned this town.
Eddie Shore brought the Cup to Boston while Ted Williams was still a scrawny teenager in San Diego, and the Kraut Line won two more titles before the NBA opened shop. The Celtics' 11 titles in 13 years couldn't capture the city (though Carl Yastrzemski's Triple Crown brought Red Sox nation to life in 1967).
In the '60s, when the Bruins missed the playoffs eight straight years and the Celtics won eight consecutive championships, the hockey club still regularly outdrew its NBA counterpart - and the Red Sox, too. And when Bobby Orr led the Bruins to championships in 1970 and '72, hockey rinks sprung up around New England in his name and sent their progeny to the NHL, the Olympics and to college programs around the country.
"This was and is a hockey town like no other in America," said Richard Johnson, the curator of The Sports Museum of New England. "Boston is to hockey what Lubbock is to football, San Pedro de Macoris is to baseball, Sydney to rugby, Buenos Aires to futbol, Addis Ababa to marathoning."
Now back among the elite - in the NHL and in their hometown - the Bruins will raise their sixth championship banner on Oct. 6, when they begin their title defense against the Philadelphia Flyers.
A year after an unprecedented postseason collapse in which they blew a 3-0 lead against Philadelphia in the Eastern Conference semifinals - blowing a 3-0 lead in Game 7 - the Bruins eliminated archrival Montreal in seven games in the first round and then avenged their loss to the Flyers with a four-game sweep in the conference semis.
With a seven-game victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Bruins advanced to the Stanley Cup finals for the first time since 1990. In a matchup of finesse vs. strength, stellar goaltending by Tim Thomas tipped the balance to Boston and the Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in seven games.
"It's a long road and when you actually do win, it's an unbelievable feeling," said Nathan Horton, a key contributor in the early rounds who was knocked out of the finals in Game 3 on a check by Aaron Rome. "Winning the Stanley Cup and watching everybody hold it. Just to be there with my teammates who care about each other so much, it feels good to do that."

"Sweetheart Murders" killer sentenced to death | Crime
SACRAMENTO, CA - On Friday, convicted killer Richard Hirschfield was sentenced to death in Sacramento County court for kidnapping and killing two U.C. Davis students in 1980.
Hirschfield was originally arrested after DNA analysis linked him to the deaths of John Riggins, 18, and Sabrina Gonsalves, 18, in 1980.
Riggins' and Gonsalves' bodies were found in a van near Lake Natoma two days after they were kidnapped from Davis in 1980.
Hirschfield was found guilty of first-degree murder in Nov. 2012, 32 years after the murders.
STORY: 'Sweetheart Murders' verdict reached
In court, family members had a chance to address the court and address Hirschfield himeself.
"I would like to say that we will never know the gifts that John and Sabrina would have given to society, but we do know Hirschfield's contribution: humiliation, pain and death," John's father Dr. Richard Riggins said.
There will be an automatic appeals process, which is required in death penalty cases.

UPDATED 1.19.2011 5:45pm by Julie Montanaro
A bookkeeper accused of embezzling more than half a million dollars from Innovation Park is now doing time for it.
Shanna Lewis reported to prison this afternoon and the research park is still trying to pick up the pieces of its reputation.
Shanna Lewis will spend the next eight and a half years in a federal prison for embezzlement and fraud.
The soft spoken wife and mother of three siphoned nearly 650-thousand dollars from accounts at Innovation Park while working as a bookkeeper there.
"The impact of the theft in general was substantial, obviously. We lost a tremendous amount of money, but it also exposed a lot of problems that we had in the management of the park and the operations," said Leon County Commissioner and Innovation Park Board Member Kristin Dozier. "It really did cause a lot of problems, but it's going to help us move forward in a better, a much better condition, I think."
Perhaps the most jaw dropping revelation of all: Lewis had a prior embezzlement conviction on her record when she was hired to keep the books at Innovation Park.
The park's executive director retired soon after the scandal broke and a new director, Catherine Kunst, now has the task of trying to recruit new high-tech tenants and rehab the park's reputation.
She had no comment on the start of Lewis' prison stint, but the chairman of the board sure did.
"We've taken a number of steps to assure that things like this don't happen again," said Phil Blank, chairman of the Leon County Research and Development Authority.
Blank stood up in court during Lewis's sentencing and told the judge that Lewis lived a lavish lifestyle at taxpayer's expense.
Lewis will now be wearing prison blues, shopping at the camp commissary and will be prohibited from spending more than 290 dollars a month.
"I wish her all the best and I hope she takes this time to reflect on what she did," Blank said.
A Bureau of Prisons spokesman says Lewis was booked into the Marianna Prison Camp at 12:30 today.
UPDATED 1-19-2011 2:30pm by Julie Montanaro
A Bureau of Prisons spokesman says Shanna Lewis was booked into the prison camp in Marianna at 12:31 today.
The federal prison is about an hour west of Tallahassee.
The Bureau of Prisons Handbook for the facility indicates Lewis will get a wake up call at 6am each day, report for work Monday through Friday and stand for at least five official inmate counts a day.
UPDATED 1-19 Noon --
The former Innovation Park bookkeeper is set to report to prison this afternoon.
Shanna Lewis pleaded guilty to embezzlement and fraud. She was sentenced in November and now after spending the holidays with her family, it is time to surrender to U.S. Marshals.
Lewis has until 2 p.m. today to turn herself in to begin serving an 8 and 1/2 year prison sentence.
Lewis embezzled about $650,000 over a span of four years from accounts at Innovation Park.
Board members called the whole episode shocking and disappointing, but point out it also brought out a lot of problems to light at the research park ... namely a lack of checks and balances.
These are things that the new executive director is now working to fix.
It is our understanding that Lewis will be doing time at a medium security prison in Marianna, but a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson can't confirm that until she is actually booked in.
UPDATED 1.18.2011 by Julie Montanaro
A former Innovation Park bookkeeper will report to prison tomorrow (January 19th) to begin serving her 8 and half year sentence.
Shanna Lewis pleaded guilty to embezzlement and fraud last fall and has until 2 o'clock tomorrow to report to prison.
Lewis was accused of embezzling nearly 650-thousand dollars from the research park over a span of four years.
A Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman says she cannot release the name of the prison where Lewis will be doing time, until she is actually booked in to the facility.
UPDATE 11-20-2010 11:15 am
Statement from Leon County Research and Development Authority and Innovation Park:
Leon County Research and Development Authority and Innovation Park
The Board of Governors of the Leon County Research and Development Authority welcomes the progress made toward a final resolution of this issue. We will continue to let this matter run its course through proper legal channels.
The Board remains committed to the core mission of the Authority: promoting scientific research and development activities, fostering economic development, and broadening the economic base of Leon County. We are focusing our primary efforts on creating a world-class facility.
The Authority is well funded and has the resources it needs to meet its financial obligations; the Board has implemented a number of internal controls, including new policies and procedures to protect our assets.
We are also committed to increasing collaboration with our local universities and making sure Innovation Park – the State of Florida's first and oldest research park – is positioned to play a vital role in the research and development sector of this community and to serve as an economic development engine for Leon County.
UPDATE 11-19-2010 6:15 pm by Julie Montanaro
A bookeeper convicted of embezzling more than 645 thousand dollars from Innovation Park will soon be headed to federal prison.
Shanna Lewis apologized to Innovation Park and to all the family and friends she has disappointed but her tearful apology couldn't sway the judge from an 8 1/2 year sentence. She will also receive 5 years of supervised probation.
Lewis has also been ordered to pay $746,042 in restitution.
Judge Robert Hinkle says one thing he considered in sentencing is that Lewis had made 113 transactions and everytime she wrote a check she had the opportunity to stop and didn't.
Collin Cherry, Lewis' attorney, says, "The sentencing was fair. It considered her previous history. Cetainly the conduct she had was courageous. Judge Hinkle is probably one of the most well respected judges in North Florida and he considered all the factors and I think both sides left feeling that they've been heard. And that it was a fair sentence."
The most diffcult part of the hearing was that Lewis' husband and daughters, ages 5, 15 and 17, sat in the front row. All but the 5-year old wrote letters to the judge. Lewis' husband Paul called Shanna the core of our family and the glue that holds it all together. The daughter Summer said it will be quite some time before we can spend Christmas, Thanksgiving and even our birthdays together again. Her daughter Autumn said taking her mother away is like ripping a piece right out of my chest, it's unbearable.
The husband and 2 daughters testified in front of the judge today (11-19), but when the judge imposed his sentence he said no one gets a pass just because they're a parent.
The chairman of the Innovation Park board, Phil Blank, asked the judge for a severe sentence saying Lewis sole nearly 650-thousand dollars of taxpayer money and spent it on a lavish lifestyle. Blank says it will take Innovation Park a long time to recover from the damage Lewis has done.
Shanna Lewis has been sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison followed by 5 years of supervised probation.

UPDATED 11.19.2010 5pm by Julie Montanaro
Shanna Lewis's sentencing is today, November 19th at 2pm. She arrived at the Tallahassee Federal Courthouse with her husband.
The prosecution is seeking 87-108 months of prison time for Lewis, while her attorneys are arguing that 51-63 months is more appropriate.
Lewis' husband, children, and friends wrote the judge letters asking for leniency. Lewis was described as being the core of her family.

UPDATED 11.02.2010 5pm by Julie Montanaro
Shanna Lewis's sentencing hearing has been delayed until November 19th at 2pm.
UPDATED 10.19.2010 2:52pm
The hearing set for 3:30pm today has been canceled. Federal prosecutors have agreed to let Lewis free until her sentencing as long as she abides by certain conditions, including not selling any of her belongings on eBay.
UPDATED 10.19.2010 12:30pm by Julie Montanaro
Shanna Lewis is scheduled to appear in federal court in Tallahassee this afternoon at 3:30. A judge will consider a request from federal prosecutors to put Lewis back behind bars to await her sentencing on November 12th.
UPDATE 10.14.2010 by Julie Montanaro
The feds want to revoke the bond of a book keeper who's admitted to embezzling nearly 650-thousand dollars from Innovation Park.
Shanna Lewis has already pleaded guilty to bank fraud and other charges and is set to be sentenced on November 12th.
She's free on bond, but the Assistant U.S. Attorney has just filed an emergency motion to revoke Lewis's bond.
Prosecutors contend Lewis made false and misleading statements when she filed for bankruptcy on September 29th.
Prosecutors say Lewis failed to disclose two previous bankruptcy filings.
Prosecutors say not only did Lewis fail to disclose lots of property in her September 29th filing, but they discovered she was selling at least six undeclared items on E-Bay under the seller's name "stuckup."
Prosecutors say that adds up to bankruptcy fraud and they have asked a judge to revoke her bond.
The defendant's "present efforts to cheat the victim and her other creditors establish her utter incorrigibility and unworthiness of the trust embodied in the order of release," Assistant U.S. Attorney Karen Rhew Miller wrote.
Lewis's attorney says he was unaware of the bankruptcy filing, which was handled by another attorney, and is now carefully reviewing the situation.
A judge has not yet set a court date to hear from both sides.
We have learned that when U.S. Secret Service agents went to serve a search warrant at Lewis's home Wednesday, her husband was arrested.
Court papers say he repeatedly cursed officers on scene and refused their commands to stop before rushing into the home.
He has since posted bond on that misdemeanor obstruction charge.
UPDATED 9.30.2010 3:20pm by Julie Montanaro
A woman who admitted to embezzling nearly 650-thousand dollars from Innovation Park has turned over her retirement account to help make restitution.
A petition filed today in federal court indicates Lewis has surrendered her retirement account, though her attorney says those funds are not subject to forfeiture or civil judgment.
Defense attorney Collin Cherry estimates the account's value at 25 to 35 thousand dollars and says while it's not a lot in comparison to what was taken, it is something.
Lewis's home, cars, boat and time share holdings have already been seized by the government, Cherry said, and her husband declared bankruptcy this week.
Lewis is set to be sentenced November12th. She could face up to 42 years in prison for bank fraud, cashing a forged check and identity theft.
*** Update 12:15pm 9-6-2010 ***
Tom Barron, Chairman of the Leon County Research and Development Authority, has issued the following community press release regarding an update on Innovation Park.
Community and Organizational Leaders:
On behalf of the Leon County Research and Development Authority's Board of Governors, I would like to provide you with an update on the status of Innovation Park.
As many of you know, the discovery and subsequent investigation of a sizeable and unfortunate embezzlement has preoccupied the Board and diverted the attention from the primary mission of the Authority.
Fortunately, the Authority – still well funded and financially viable – has the resources it needs to meet its financial obligations, and the Board has implemented a number of internal controls, including new policies and procedures to protect our assets. The accounting firm has completed its audit, and the Authority is pursuing recovery of the stolen monies – both through the legal process and insurance claims.
Our former executive director, Linda Nicholsen, retired on June 30. We are grateful for her devotion of a quarter century of service to the Authority and her guidance as the park evolved from one building and 35 employees to 50 public and private organizations with approximately 2,000 employees.
On an interim basis, Leon County government staff, through an interlocal agreement, is assisting and is overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Authority through administrative, financial, legal, public information, and technical support functions. Additionally, the Authority hired a professional real estate services company to manage the park's property.
Currently, an executive search committee with representatives from our three institutions of higher education is conducting a national search for a new executive director. We are seeking a leader who will make sure we are continually positioned to play a vital role in the research and development sector of this community, and who will continue growing Innovation Park – the State of Florida's first and oldest research park – with a renewed commitment to promoting scientific research and development activities, fostering economic development, and broadening the economic base of Leon County.
In addition to implementing more internal controls, new policies and procedures, we have also begun the search for general counsel services and will be selecting an individual or firm immediately.
We are diligently working to chart a new direction for the Leon County Research and Development Authority and Innovation Park, while staying focused on increased collaboration with our local universities and making sure the park continues to serve as an economic development engine for this community.
While the unfortunate recent occurrences provided a very trying time for the Authority, this difficult situation has also presented the rare opportunity to take a closer look at a 25 year old organization, examine everything it does – big and small – and determine how we can recommit ourselves, our talents, and our resources in making the necessary changes that will result in a better organization and a more solid technology future for this region.
We will continue to communicate with our stakeholders and the community as we refocus our efforts on creating a world-class facility here in Leon County.
Should you have any questions for us, please feel free to contact Authority staff at (850) 575-0343, firstname.lastname@example.com, or visit our website below for current updates and informational postings.
The full press release is attached above.
*** Update 5:00pm 9-1-2010 ***
A former bookkeeper at Innovation Park has pleaded guilty in Tallahassee's federal court to bank fraud, cashing forged checks, and aggravated identity theft.
Shanna Lewis faces a mandatory sentence of two years and as much as 40 years in prison. Her sentencing has been scheduled for Friday November 12.
Lewis will remain free until her sentencing. Lewis had been accused of stealing nearly 650,000 dollars from Innovation Park during the last four years that she worked there.
UPDATED 8.30.2010 by Julie Montanaro
A former bookkeeper at Innovation Park is expected to plead guilty in an embezzlement scandal later this week.
We broke that story on Friday. Now, Shanna Lewis is trying to have one of the other counts against her dismissed.
Lewis's attorney, Colin Cherry, says Lewis intends to take responsibility for embezzling nearly $650-thousand from Innovation Park, but claims she should not be charged with aggravated identity theft too.
Cherry filed a motion in federal court today to have that count dismissed. That could knock a mandatory two years off her prison sentence.
"The aggravated identity theft statute was never meant to cover mere forgery," Cherry wrote in his 18 page motion. He argues that Congress intended the 2004 statute to target those who impersonate others for their own financial benefit, not those who simply forge signatures on checks.
There is no word yet on whether the judge will rule on the request before Wednesday's scheduled plea hearing.
Tallahassee, FL (AP) - Former Innovation Park Office Manager Shanna Lewis will enter a plea in court on Wednesday September 1, 2010.
Her attorney tells us she intends to take responsibility for her actions and enter a plea to bank fraud and cashing forged checks.
The attorney says they are going to argue against the aggravated identity theft charge.
Lewis is accused of stealing nearly 650,000 dollars from Innovation Park during the last four years that she worked there.

Canada.com reports that researchers are learning how pandemics spread by tracking progress of the Corrupted Blood outbreak that occurred in World of Warcraft in 2005.
Prof. Nina Fefferman of Rutgers University commented:
Suddenly, there did exist [in WoW] an experimental framework to watch how people would behave during an epidemic. That's exactly what we worry about in real-world epidemics — the little behaviours that we don't tell people to do or not to do, because we have never seen this happen before.
For those who don't play WoW, or didn't back in 2005, here's how the game's virtual pandemic went down:
Blizzard Entertainment decided that some players' characters had become too powerful, so they created a virus — called "Corrupted Blood" …The virus quickly infected any nearby character, regardless of its relative strength.
The programmers imposed a mass quarantine, and expected players to take it seriously because "death" can cause their characters to lose items, strength, weapons and armour they had accumulated over many hours of play.
Yet many players ignored the quarantine, spreading the virus. Eventually, more than four million of the game's six million players worldwide were infected, and millions "died."

Royals to honor Derek Jeter prior to June 9 game
The Royals will recognize the stellar playing career of New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter prior to the series finale between the two teams on Monday, June 9. The game marks the last regular-season contest at Kauffman Stadium for Jeter, who is retiring at the end of the 2014 season.
A special Dynamic Deal featuring 45 percent savings for the June 9 game is now available, as the Royals are offering Hy-Vee Infield tickets for just $20. Fans can take advantage of this special offer and see the salute to Jeter by purchasing tickets at www.royals.com/dynamicdeals.
Royals Charities, the charitable arm of the Royals, will present Jeter with a $10,000 donation to his Turn 2 Foundation during a special pregame ceremony, which will feature a video tribute to the Yankees captain.
During his rookie year in 1996, Jeter established the Turn 2 Foundation to promote healthy lifestyles among youth. While sharing a pizza in a Detroit hotel room, Derek announced to his father that he was ready to establish his own foundation. Then and there, they laid the plans for Turn 2. The name "Turn 2" is symbolic of the dramatic double play made by infielders during a game. It also represents Jeter's wish to promote healthy lifestyles among young people and enable them to "Turn 2" his foundation for guidance and the much needed help to avoid drugs and alcohol.
Ned Yost media session: May 28, 2014
Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost was very candid with the media today, speaking for nearly 20 minutes in his office prior to the game. He spoke once again about the struggling offense but said last night he was frustrated by the way his players approached the game last night. That frustration boiled over in the sixth inning and Yost was ejected for the second time this season because of it.
"I wasn't as frustrated with the umpiring as I was with the way that we played that game last night," Yost said. "It's not characteristic of who we are. Like all fans, like everybody and you get impatient. And I fell into that trap last night."
With more struggles from the offense comes more questions about the offense. Yost said that his team revolves around the offense. He said when they're not producing it makes every phase with his team more difficult. "The task is to get this thing turned around offensively and get to where they're feeling good about themselves and it changes the whole complexion of the way we play."
In an age when everything is dissected by anyone with a voice on radio, on the internet or in the newspaper, Yost said players today have a lot more to deal with. He acknowledged that every team is dealing with the same coverage but that "growing up is learning how to deal with it all and not trying to put too much pressure on yourself to perform because everybody's got exceptional talent in [our clubhouse] and if they just play up to their talent level we're going to be great."
By Nate Rowan
Ned Yost media session: May 27, 2014
Most of manager Ned Yost's pregame talk focused on the injuries to two young right-handers. Yordano Ventura's MRI today revealed nothing significant but he will miss his next scheduled start in four days. Instead, Ventura will throw two side sessions before his next turn in the rotation in nine days. Ventura arrived at the ballpark "asymptomatic," and felt fine today, according to Yost.
Kansas City prospect and one of the top minor leaguers in baseball, Kyle Zimmer, will be shut down for 6-8 weeks with a lat strain. While he hasn't appeared in the Major Leagues yet, Yost said the team was looking down the road after the All-Star break or in September about possibly bringing Zimmer up if he was throwing well enough. Yost said the injury is similar to what Ben Sheets, who he managed in Milwaukee, dealt with, though Zimmer's is not believed to be as severe.
Royals prospect Kyle Zimmer to miss additional time with lat injury
The Royals announced today that right-handed pitching prospect Kyle Zimmer will miss additional time this season with a strain in his right latissimus dorsi muscle. Zimmer, the fifth overall selection in the 2012 MLB First-Year Player Draft, will begin playing catch again in six to eight weeks.
He earned a non-roster invite to Major League camp this season after going 6-9 with a 4.32 ERA (52 ER in 108.1 IP) in 22 combined starts between Class A Wilmington and Double-A Northwest Arkansas in 2013.
Ned Yost media session: May 26, 2014
Prior to Monday's game the Kansas City Royals activated Omar Infante from the disabled list and optioned reliever Casey Coleman to Triple-A Omaha. Meanwhile Danny Valencia tested out his sore left wrist and was unable to swing in the cage and manager Ned Yost said it would be 3-5 days before Valencia would be back in the lineup. Bruce Chen also threw a bullpen today without his back acting up and the Royals will continue to take his situation day-by-day.
Kansas City will honor military members with Armed Forces Night before today's game and a lengthy pregame program will include members of the Royals, including Yost, delivering baseballs to members of each of the five military branches. "To salute the troops, it's always an honor," Yost said.
The first 10,000 fans at tonight's game will receive a Royals camouflage jersey courtesy of Fox Sports Kansas City.
Royals announce Charlie Hustle Ticket Package
The Royals have announced a new offering – a Limited Edition Charlie Hustle T-Shirt Package – for the Royals game on Friday, July 11.

Royals option Mike Moustakas to Omaha; Jimmy Paredes to be recalled
The Royals announced today that they have optioned third baseman Mike Moustakas to Omaha. In a corresponding roster move, infielder/outfielder Jimmy Paredes will be recalled prior to Friday's game in Anaheim.
Paredes, 25, has played in four games with the Royals this season, going 0-for-1 with two runs scored and two stolen bases as a pinch runner. He is hitting .327 (35-for-107) with 4 doubles, 2 triples, 3 homers and 17 RBI in 26 games with the Storm Chasers.
Ned Yost media session: May 21, 2014
The Royals head into the series finale vs. Chicago with two impact players – infielder Omar Infante and catcher Salvador Perez – on the mend. Perez is day-to-day and expected back shortly, but manager Ned Yost says Infante's recovery is on schedule, as well.
"Swinging he's been fine," said Yost. "Where it's bothering him a little bit, or it has in the last couple of days, is bending over to catch ground balls. But he's made really good improvements there. He came out early, ran the bases, felt really good. So he will take some ground balls on the field today and we'll see where he's at."
Veteran backstop Brett Hayes handled the receiving duties in the absence of Perez on Tuesday, but was replaced by Francisco Pena in the ninth inning after being lifted for a pinch-hitting Mike Moustakas in the bottom of the eighth. Pena, making his Major League debut, also threw out his first would-be base stealer, cutting down Adam Eaton at second base.
"He's got very soft hands," Yost said of Pena. "He receives the ball well. In spring training, he did everything well. When I first saw him, he looked like a young catcher to me. But as spring training went on, I became more impressed with his ability to receive, I became more impressed with his throwing ability – that we got a little glimpse of last night – and the way he calls the game. He's got life and energy like Salvy does back there."
As for Moustakas, he popped up to third in his lone plate appearance of the evening, dropping his batting average to .152 (19-for-125). Danny Valencia will get his second consecutive start at third base tonight, but the plan for renewing Moustakas's offensive prowess remains the same.
"He's the first one in the clubhouse, the first one in the cage with Pedro [Grifol] and they've got their drills that they work on tirelessly," said Yost. "He takes more swings than anyone on this team."

Would I rather be watching "Still Life" again at the IFC Center this weekend or going to Sundance to drown in a sea of cinematic mediocrity? Okay, the question isn't entirely fair. There's always a few stellar gems playing somewhere in Park City, but the trick is actually finding them. With Jia Zhangke, one of the world's most important filmmakers and perhaps China's most indefatigable indie maverick, you can pretty much count on a near-masterpiece every time--that is, if you're up for his brand of film art.
I spoke with Jia during the New York Film Festival (my interview appears in the Village Voice this week -- see "Generation China"), and while our conversation didn't exactly tease out the machinations behind his brilliant aesthetic decision-making, he did offer some refreshingly candid views on contemporary China and an update on his latest projects (a dramatic film called "24-City" and his third artist portrait, following "Dong" and "Useless," about Chinese architects in Mongolia).
While it didn't make it into the Voice piece, Jia had some choice words for filmmakers and artists in China today. "There shouldn't be any self-censorship on the part of the artists," he said. "There is still this fear of the consequences. There shouldn't be this fear. They shouldn't set limitations on themselves, as well. They should be open and talk about things in the open and provoke discussion."
While Jia believes the rise of the Internet and China's global aspirations will "break down the boundaries of a sole authority that controls all aspects of their lives," he also believes it's important for filmmakers to stand-up and express themselves. "As an individual artist, maybe he or she really can't do much," he said. "But in terms of the collective, in terms of arts and culture, artists definitely play an important role in China right now: to focus on self-awareness and inspire people to reflect."

On families and fares
Last November, our Chicklet turned six—and entered the world of fare-paying riders. As with many aspects of taking transit with children, this transition has presented some logistical challenges.
In an ideal world, Bus Nerd and I would be able to pay for Chicklet with our own ORCA cards.* Unfortunately, that is not an option. Not surprisingly, it isn't possible to load two passes onto one card. And, though each of us has both a pass and a supplementary "e-purse"** loaded on our cards, it's not possible to use the pass for the adult fare and the e-purse for the …

How riding the bus will make your kid smarter
One of the biggest benefits of riding transit with little ones is that you can actually pay attention to them while you travel. Instead of hollering in the general direction of the back seat (or worse, resorting to an in-vehicle entertainment system to keep order), PT parents can have meaningful, even educational, interactions with their little darlings. Here are some examples of brain- and bond-enhancing ways to use transit travel time.
- Read! Reading is a great PT pastime for children of any age. Research shows that reading to infants and young children helps with bonding, language development, and …

About that bus cake…
I recently chatted (via e-mail) with Nicole McGuire, the woman who made this amazing cake.
Here's what she had to say about her kid's bus obsession–and her work of genius:
Max's love of buses began when he was about a year old with Joe taking him on trips when I was pregnant with our second child and too tired to go out and do anything. For some reason, Max just loved the bus from the start. …

I spotted this book-loving young bus chick on a southbound 48 (yes, I do ride other routes) the other day.
I was planning to ask her what she was reading on my way out, but she got off before I did. My guess? Based on the book's size and the intensity of her focus: Lord of the Rings. Which reminds me: A few weeks ago, on the 14, I saw a bus chick of about the same age with her nose buried …

Chicklet and the 27, part I
It seems that little Chicklet is a bit of an early talker. At eight months and some change, she said her first word (aside from "dada" and "mama," that is): "kitty." This is somewhat of a surprise, since we don't have any pets, and she's only seen a few living, breathing cats in her short life. (Our neighbors' cat, Otis, is apparently pretty inspiring.)
My first word (at about the same age) was "more." It is a concept that has defined my life ever since (you can never have too much chocolate ice cream or listen to "If I Was …

This was the scene when a young BCiT lost her lunch (actually, it was probably more like a between-meal snack, judging from the bags of popcorn I saw the other kids holding) on the 554:
I can sympathize with the poor dear–and not just because of those enjoyable months I spent busing while pregnant. I experienced a similar episode back in my early bus chick days–except that I lost my breakfast (I was on the 2, on my way to school) and, because buses had windows that opened sideways back then, …

Still more on bus chicks in training
My friend Monique, although hardly a minor, is a BCiT in her own right. In March, she moved from transit-unfriendly Houston to Boston to accept a year-long contract position that advanced her career and satisfied her taste for adventure. Since it's not a permanent job, and since she owns a home in Houston, she's subletting a cool apartment in South Boston and getting around by bus, train, foot, and, very occasionally, Zipcar. (Boston, as some of you might know, is the home of Zipcar.)
Transit-based living agrees with Monique. She loves her walkable neighborhood and the freedom …
And while I'm at it…
BCiT, n: Bus chick in training. A young person, usually under the age of 12, who is learning the bus-riding ropes. A BCiT always rides with an experienced bus chick while she masters basic bus survival skills, such as when to ring the bell, how and when to pay, and appropriate bus behavior–and then more advanced skills, including schedule-reading, trip-planning, and street safety. If she shows promise, she is permitted to ride without a mentor, and, eventually, initiated into the sisterhood of full-fledged bus chicks.

Narine comes up empty handed as Sixers lose again
MELBOURNE, Australia, CMC – West Indies bowling star Sunil Narine was powerless to stop his Sydney Sixers from a 21-run defeat at the hands of Melbourne Stars in the Australian Big Bash here yesterday.
The right-arm off-spinner went wicket-less in four overs which cost 31 runs as the Stars tallied 177 for six from 20 overs, after being sent in at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Exciting young batsman Glenn Maxwell top-scored with 82 while former Australia batsman Brad Hodge hit 51.
In reply, Sydney fell short with 156 for five, with opener Steve O'Keefe getting 39.
The loss was their second straight with Narine in the line up.

It is finally time to start racing at the velodrome again. Here are some pics of me suffering in the first kilo of the year at Alpenrose, pics from https://www.flickr.com/photos/krheapvpics/
Lap 1:
Lap 4:
Still seems early for a kilo... How'd it go?
I am thinking 1/2 cm higher on seat for track TT and 1 cm higher on stem I like to point my toes a lot more in a TT and makes my legs come up too much. Maybe more reach, but the reach doesn't feel like the issue, hip angle is the issue.
Yes, the Alpenrose turns are like slamming into a brick wall...especially for bigger guys. The turns really scrub off a lot of speed.
From the same event as jmikami...
early lap (lap 2?)
late lap (lap 4 maybe)

Still getting used to the bike. I think the position is good though, and my time wasn't all that bad for being this early in the season. I'm experimenting with a little higher position to focus on bike control. Still had a moment going through turn 1/2 on the first lap...

Here I am during the last stretch of a standing 500M yesterday.
Remember this chart that VancMac posted:
By the time the photo was taken, my anaerobic ATP and ATP-PC stores are empty. I'm switching over to aerobic energy (which is pretty non-existent in me, hahaha). When that happens I do this thing where I try to remember to relax and breath. You can see my pursed lips as I focus on breathing and my loose fingers as I try to relax my upper body.
It still hurt.
I'm still waiting on my new frame with a longer TT so my back will lay down a lot.
Who'd building your new frame?
All I see are some sweet, sweet Giro Empires! And Casco. Oh, and what gloves are those? I haven't really found any aero (or, at least "smooth") long-finger gloves other than 5Bling.

I rode him from the front and I rode him from behind and he crushed me in 2 straight rides.
No feelings other than total respect- to know how hard i train and to know that on race day he showed up and kicked my ass- he was the Champion for sure!
Same Casco!
and I think I have a set of Pink Mechanix Gloves that I won in a Crit-Prime.. I'll bust them out and we can do an all matching Team Sprint at some point
I assume you like to be man 1?
Babypuke? You in for that one??
Normally, Fastest 200m goes 2
but I'm used to being pushed into 3

Read Him and Weep
If ever there was a movie I was predisposed to love, it was Mark Moskowitz's Stone Reader, a documentary that takes--perhaps too literally--Cyril Connolly's old quip as its moral: "Whom the gods wish to destroy, they first call promising." On the surface, Moskowitz's film is the story of a virtuous quest for the vanished author of an obscure piece of fiction. That's certainly a tantalizing subject for anyone who ever fell in love with a book only to find that his or her infatuation has been wholly unreciprocated by the rest of the world.
The object of Moskowitz's wild goose chase is a man named Dow Mossman, the author of one novel, The Stones of Summer, that was released in 1972 to small but effusive acclaim, only to disappear without a trace. Mossman's book was, in fact, greeted by an almost too-poignant rave in the New York Times Book Review. Critic John Seelye, barely able to contain his enthusiasm for the novel, writes Mossman's ironic epitaph in the first lathered paragraph:
The Stones of Summer cannot possibly be called a promising first novel for the simple reason that it is such a marvelous achievement that it puts forth much more than mere promise. Fulfillment is perhaps the best word, fulfillment at the first stroke, which is so often the sign of superior talent and which is also a frightening thing, for the author may remain forever awed by the force and witness of his first production. I don't think, however, that this will happen in the present instance. Dow Mossman's novel is a whole river of words fed by a torrential imagination and such a source is not likely to stop flowing.
But of course, Mossman's river of words did stop flowing, and as to whether the author was "forever awed by the force and witness of his first production," we'll never really know. We will know, however, that Moskowitz was more than willing to assume that burden for him. And the filmmaker's exuberance, his eagerness to wallow in the mystery for as long as possible, is precisely what makes Stone Reader such a colossal disappointment.
There are a lot of problems with the film, and every one of them starts with Moskowitz, who's clearly more interested in talking about the apparent tragedy of Mossman's disappearance than in getting to the bottom of it. (He'll appear in person at U Film Society on Friday, when he'll presumably talk about it further.) For a guy who has made a handsome living in one of the most cynical of mediums--the director is a successful maker of political campaign advertisements for television, and Stone Reader is his first feature film--Moskowitz comes across as a remarkably naïve character. He's also a terrible detective, a bumbler who enjoys talking about forgotten books and authors so much that he loses sight of his quest again and again. At 128 minutes, the film is much too long. And by the end, when, in one of the most frustrating anticlimaxes in recent memory, Moskowitz actually tracks Mossman down, it has become plenty clear that any reasonably competent person could have found the man in a single day.
Moskowitz, though, takes his sweet time, and spends the first two-thirds of the film jawing about books with literary heavyweights who have never even heard of Mossman's novel. Virtually every one of these people, however, tells Moskowitz that there's really nothing unique about one-book careers; the history of literature, someone observes, is full of "blind alleys, dead ends, and dead people." Unfortunately, this information fails to dispel the filmmaker of his wholly romantic notions. "I can't believe a guy could write a book this good and just disappear," Moskowitz intones in one of the movie's endless, monotonous voiceovers, many of them accompanied by what appears to be stock footage left over from his old political commercials. (There are long, idyllic shots of autumn foliage and butterflies cavorting in flower gardens, of country roads and meandering children, none of which serves any purpose other than to illustrate--in the most heavy-handed fashion imaginable--the passing of time and the essential mysteries of obscurity. And I for one am not convinced that these mysteries are essential anyway.)
Stone Reader's fatal flaw--there are a number of them, actually--is that Moskowitz never deigns to give us anything resembling a decent description of the book and the impact it had on him. I have no idea, based on this film, what the book is about or whether it's something I'd be interested in reading. Moskowitz spends the first half of the movie snatching up every copy of the novel he can find on the Internet and hoarding them. The few friends on whom he actually foists The Stones of Summer are decidedly underwhelmed. And when he does find admirers of the book--such as Carl Brandt, Mossman's former agent, or old friends of the author--their praise usually consists of little beyond, "That was a great book."
Mossman's story is certainly a sad one, if not particularly uncommon, and it's a real shame that the documentarian couldn't do more with what might have been a compelling film. It isn't just that Moskowitz is an insufferable character who can't resist hogging the spotlight in what ought to be Mossman's movie; he's also a manipulative and self-indulgent filmmaker. Stone Reader is full of uneasy reenactments and clumsy encounters, and poor Mossman--whom Moskowitz finds living in the same Cedar Rapids home where he grew up--gets terribly overshadowed in the end. The moment he answers the door to find Moskowitz standing on his porch, the movie cuts away once again to some other old blowhard pontificating about the tragic nature of literary obscurity. Moskowitz eventually finds his way back to Mossman, of course, but we never really get to know the man's story, other than the fact that he suffered a nervous breakdown, disillusionment, and writer's block--a fairly typical tale, in other words--and spent years working as a welder, caring for his elderly mother, and reading Shakespeare. Mossman seems as befuddled as Moskowitz is by his obscurity--if not nearly as troubled. He's an engagingly rattled character, and I would have loved to have seen more of him.
Perhaps the most galling aspect of Stone Reader is the extent to which Moskowitz appears clueless about the machinations of the publishing business that regularly result in the forced obscurity of hundreds of worthy novels. The filmmaker, clearly a busy man, gives Amazon.com plenty of free publicity in his movie, and is seemingly oblivious to the irony implicit in his steady patronage of one of the very behemoths that'll help ensure the quick and premature deaths of many other books like The Stones of Summer. In a final bit of ironic good news/bad news for the beleaguered author, Mossman's novel--the original paperback version of which is currently selling for $450 on the Internet--is slated to be reissued in the fall by the publishing arm of Barnes and Noble. And for that, at least, Dow Mossman can thank Mark Moskowitz.

Hitting the roads for holiday travel? You may want to take some time to make sure your vehicle can actually get you to your destination safely.
Car experts say, when people head out for those long holiday road trips, their vehicle's maintenance is sometimes the last thing they think about, but truly the most important. Auto-manager Wayne Rollins in Washington says to always check your fluids. In addition to fluids, auto experts say your car's tire pressure must be checked for both over and under-inflation.

Cavaillon brings southern France to North County
Nestled in the Rhone Valley, between the Alps and the Mediterranean, lies the town of Cavaillon. Best known for its sweet little cantaloupes, Cavaillon, like most of the rural villages in this corner of the world, could boast any number of delicious things to eat and drink.
But now instead of you having to travel to sample its cuisine, Cavaillon has come to North County with a restaurant in Santaluz by the same name.
Chef Philippe Verpiand opened his restaurant in the new community east of Rancho Santa Fe last December. At the entrance of a development called Verrazzano off Camino del Sur, the restaurant sits on the corner of an unassuming retail center. "I was looking for a place for my new restaurant and I was amazed at how beautiful the houses are here (in Santaluz)," said Verpiand. "I thought it would be a good location. We will see."
With golden walls that Verpiand painted himself and French doors that open onto the courtyard, Cavaillon's ambiance reflects a Mediterranean point of view - one that matches a menu with many ingredients typical of the sunny south of France. But though he remains loyal to his French "old school" techniques, Verpiand has expanded his repertoire to include influences from Italy and Spain as well as other parts of France. "It's not all Mediterranean, because I have coq au vin," he said, adding that it is one of his most popular dishes.
Specials are offered nightly, and the menu can change daily, depending on available ingredients and how the chef is feeling that day. "Working for yourself, you don't have to wait to try something new," he said. One such item coming soon to the menu is the Veal Osso Bucco with gnocchi and cream porcini mushroom sauce, butternut squash mousseline and asparagus.
Appetizers include Wild Mushroom Ravioli with port wine sauce and aged Parmesan ($11), Escargots Classique served with parsley and garlic butter sauce ($8) and Duck Foie Gras Au Torchon, with pickled black cherries and toasted brioche ($19). But, Verpiand said, his most popular appetizer is the Fourme d'Ambert Crostini served with shaved pear, honey and walnut salad ($10). "Fourme d'Ambert is a blue cheese from the Massif Central in France," he said. "Americans like melted cheese - I like it myself. You see it everywhere here, but this is a little different."
As for the main courses, besides the Coq au Vin with creamy red potatoes ($19), there is Organic Salmon with baby spinach and shallot cream ($21), Seared Scallops with du Puy lentils, green apple and caramelized onions ($24) and the typically French bistro dish of New York Steak, shallots, red wine, pommes frites and small side salad ($28). Popular as well is the Mallard Duck Leg Confit served with port wine sauce, polenta and sauteed apple ($23). "We cure the leg and the confit for hours in a bath, and then sear the skin to make it crispy," said Verpiand.
Desserts include a Ripened Cheese Plate with fresh and dried fruits ($10), a dark chocolate pot de creme with pineapple and golden raisin marmalade ($7), profiterole pistachio ice cream with hot chocolate sauce ($7) and caramelized apple lasagna with caramel parfait ($7). And the wine list contains about 69 different bottles with a mix of California, French and some Australian wines, all chosen by Verpiand. In addition to the wine list, and much to Verpiand's surprise, a special reserve list with eight to 12 higher-end wines with very reasonable mark-up has also caught on. "They have recognized the value at a fair price," he said.

A Turk and two Chechens are detained over reports they were planning an attack on Gibraltar.
15:31, UK, Tuesday 07 August 2012
Tim Marshall
Diplomatic Editor
A plot to bomb Gibraltar's main shopping centre during the Olympics has been foiled, according to reports in the Spanish media.
The plot involved three suspected al Qaeda terrorists, the reports said.
Sky sources say the reports are credible and that British intelligence was involved in monitoring the suspects although that role was described as "minimal".
The target in the British territory was said by El Pais newspaper to be the main shopping centre.
Three suspects are in custody. When police raided the home of one, Cengiz Yalcin, a Turk, near the border with Gibraltar, they found a video which was used in evidence against him.
A "significant" haul of explosives were also found as well as the parts for three paragliding machines.
The video is said to show him piloting a large remote-controlled plane. The aircraft drops two packages from the air to the ground at which point "Yalcin celebrated his achievement", said El Pais.
The suspicion is the plan was to drop explosives on the shopping centre.
The two other suspects are both Chechen. All three men are thought to have connections with al Qaeda.
A judge detained Yalcin for "possession of explosive substances and devices with terrorist aims" and also held the two Chechen men, Mohamed Adamov and Eldar Magomedov, for belonging to a terrorist organisation and possession of bomb-making material.
Magomedov is thought to be a former member of the Russian special forces "Speznatz" unit and an expert in explosives.
His arrest follows co-operation between intelligence agencies in France, the US, the UK and Spain.

I've begun to assemble short iMovie tutorials using a program called Snapz Pro. It essentially allows you to make a movie of whatever you're doing on your desktop. The basic idea is to have a short, 1- or 2-minute long video of a function (capturing or exporting, for example), along with a narration describing what's going on. A sample video is attached at the end of this entry.
It turns out that you can insert something analogous to chapter markers into Quicktime movies, so it might be interesting to design a lengthy tutorial about all of iMovie's features, but allow users to skip to the sections they care about using the chapter points.
It also seems possible to add interactive URLs to Quicktime movies using HREF tracks. I've been experimenting with no success. Eventually, though, it should be possible to link an audiovisual tutorial to its textual counterpart on the ITG website.
More on how to do all of this later on — once I figure it all out!

Statistical approaches to dialog state tracking synthesize information across multiple turns in the dialog, overcoming some speech recognition errors. When training a dialog state tracker, there is typically only a small corpus of well-matched dialog data available. However, often there is a large corpus of mis-matched but related data – perhaps pertaining to different semantic concepts, or from a different dialog system. It would be desirable to use this related dialog data to supplement the small corpus of well-matched dialog data. This paper addresses this task as multi-domain learning, presenting 3 methods which synthesize data from different slots and different dialog systems. Since deploying a new dialog state tracker often changes the resulting dialogs in ways that are difficult to predict, we study how well each method generalizes to unseen distributions of dialog data. Our main result is the finding that a simple method for multi-domain learning substantially improves performance in highly mis-matched conditions.

But I need to change the admin 7071 port for another one (8443).
How can I do that?
Anybody out there?...
Is it posible to change port 70171 for another one?? ...is it hardcoded?
zmprov ms (domain here) zimrbaAdminPort (port # here)
Not worked....
It continues to attend at port 7071.
Must I change also the value at zimbra_admin_service_port shown by zmlocalconfig?
I need to change this because the server has the port 7071 used by another app. And is not possible to change it because it has port 7071 hardcoded.
And, as the pst translation tool needs to use an admin port....I cannot migrate users in full.
You need to restart tomcat after you change it.
I changed the pot using:
zmprov ms server.domain.com zimbraAdminPort 8443
Then restarted Tomcat
And it continues to answer on port 7071
I also tried to change the value at localconfig using:
zmlocalconfig -e zimbra_admin_service_port=8443
Then restarted everything and again the same; it's on port 7071.
Then to use again zmprov I needed to reset localconfig to port 7071. If not this shows some error relating unsuccessful login....
Any ideas?
I'm having the same problem.
So what's wrong? How can I really change it?Code:$ id uid=1001(zimbra) gid=1001(zimbra) groups=4(adm),5(tty),1001(zimbra),1002(postfix) $ zmprov gacf | grep zimbraAdminPort zimbraAdminPort: 7071 $ zmprov ms `hostname -f` zimbraAdminPort 8080 $ zmprov gacf | grep zimbraAdminPort zimbraAdminPort: 7071 $ tomcat restart $ zmprov gacf | grep zimbraAdminPort zimbraAdminPort: 7071
You are calling "ms" which is modifyServer, then calling "gacg", which is getting the global config value, which is the default value if the value is unset on the server. You should call "gs" to see if it actually changed.
I don't think think there is an easy/automated way to change the admin port, and even after changing everything there might be something hardcoded in code as I don't think we've tested it. Might need to file a bug on it.
I can think of a few places you'll have to change:
1. zimbraAdminPort (globally via zmprov mcf, might need on each server as well)
2. zmlocalconfig (zimbra_admin_service_port )
3. need to manually edit /opt/zimbra/tomcat/conf/server.xml.in and and change all occurrences of 7071 to your port:
4. You'll probably also need to edit the various web.xml files as well, and change all occurrences of 7071 in these files to the new port:Code:<!-- admin services connector; requires SSL --> <Connector port="7071"
You'll have to restart tomcat of course.Code:/opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/service/WEB-INF/web.xml /opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbraAdmin/WEB-INF/web.xml /opt/zimbra/tomcat/webapps/zimbra/WEB-INF/web.xml
Even after all that, it still might not work. I'm not sure if there is a bug filed against this or not. It could certainly be cleaned up, though most of those values exist due to various chicken-and-egg problems.
