We've discovered how to combine fresh almonds with apple juice to create a non-dairy milk that's fantastically good tasting. It's also chock-full of essential vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, minerals, and fruit sugars ... and ripe with home business possibilities, too! To show you what I mean, I'd like—if I may—to tell you how Michael and I happened onto almond milk, and how we reaped a "healthy" profit selling the drink to health food stores in and around Vancouver, British Columbia.
It all started one cold, rainy November day shortly after Michael and I had returned—penniless—to Vancouver following a summer of nomadic wanderings in Cinnamon, our VW van. I'd had—and was able to endure—a sporadic throbbing in one of my eyeteeth for quite some time, but upon our arrival home the pain had become agonizing and unbearable.
The next day we went to see the dentist, who looked into my mouth and promptly prescribed $250 worth of root canal work. "No way!" Michael exclaimed ... and that was the end of that.
So—rather than spend money we didn't have—I immediately embarked on a cleansing fast and scoured the herbal guidebooks for alternate methods of dealing with tooth problems. I ended up with a dental plan that included the following: a calcium and silicon-rich tea made from horsetail, oat straw, and comfrey leaves (to nourish the gums and teeth) ... a mouthwash—and poultice—containing powdered myrrh and goldenseal, for their healing and antiseptic qualities ... chaparral for pain ... and a tea of specially blended herbs, rich in B vitamins, to nourish and build nerve tissue. (These herbs included—among others—black cohosh, catnip, cayenne, hops, lady-slipper root, lobelia, mistletoe, red clover, skullcap, valerian, and wood betony.)
Over the next few days my face swelled "out to here" and the pain became excruciating, but finally—to my immense relief—an abscess broke through the gum and drained. Ten days of "herbal therapy" later, the swelling had completely subsided and my tooth stopped throbbing. I felt weak ... but the worst was over.
The Almond Milk Discovery
On the night of my "recovery", I spied some almonds in the house where Michael and I were staying. I found the nuts—to say the least—powerfully alluring. "Michael," I said, "do you think I could have some almonds?"
"Absolutely not," he replied. "That'd be too much chewing, and anyway almonds are too heavy a food for you to break your fast with."
"Perhaps you could make a nut butter out of them in the Champion juicer," I suggested. And Michael did ... but the ground almonds—while easy enough to swallow—did feel quite heavy in my stomach. In an attempt to remedy this situation, Michael put a few spoonfuls of almond butter in the blender along with some apple juice ... and produced a beverage that was light and strengthening, and as satisfying as the creamiest malted milkshake!
I doubt if Michael slept a wink that night. "Look," he whispered, waking me up, "Suppose we sell 'almond milk' at the health food stores. Think of it! It could do wonders for babies ... or nursing mothers!"
"Or anyone," I added.
Fifteen minutes later—after I'd dozed off—Michael woke me again to say that perhaps the drink's flavor could be enhanced by the addition of cinnamon and nutmeg. And fifteen minutes after that he had yet another great idea. (This one-sided conversation went on all night.)
The next day, we made up a batch of apple/nut milk to sell at the neighborhood natural food store ... and it was a rousing success! We offered samples in little cups, and watched with delight as everyone in the store partied on the creamy, rich beverage. (The cashier—who hailed from eastern India—asked us if we'd ever been to Benares. "There," he told us, "people make a drink consisting of almond milk and a little hashish . . . .")
A day later, our leftover nut milk was as fresh tasting as when it first left the blender (although the "cream"—as with fresh cow's milk—had risen to the top). That's yet another of almond milk's many virtues: It never seems to go bad ... even after a week in the refrigerator!
Since our initial "discovery" of the beverage, we've done some experimenting and come up with a few improvements to the basic almonds-and-apple-juice recipe. For example, we've found that—just as Michael had thought from the beginning—cinnamon and nutmeg do enhance the drink's taste. (A touch of vanilla helps, too.)
Also, we decided to include sesame tahini in the milk to both improve its flavor and boost its calcium content. (Sesame tahini, incidentally, is a creamy spread made by blending together a tablespoon and a half of lime juice, six tablespoons of water, one-half cup of finely ground sesame seeds, and a teaspoon each of oil and dried kelp.)
Our justification for the sesame tahini went something like this: The body uses both phosphorus AND calcium to build teeth and bones ... and an excess of either mineral in the diet leads to excretion of that mineral. Yet we know that almonds contain twice as much phosphorus as calcium. By adding sesame tahini (which is rich in calcium) to the drink, then, we strike a balance between phosphorus and calcium . . . leading to more efficient utilization of both nutrients by the body.
Likewise, we later added Brazil nuts to our recipe, since they contain an extra essential amino acid—methionine—and thus add something to the milk's protein content.
The result of all this is that we now have a nutrition-packed "nut nog" that's as vitalizing as it is delicious. (A few of the many nutrients contained in the juice are listed in Table 1.)
It's Easy to Make Almond Milk
Almond milk is easy to make ... all you need in the way of "special equipment" are a grain mill and a blender. (We've found that for home use, the Corona hand operated corn mill does a very satisfactory job of grinding almonds, sesame seeds, and Brazil nuts.) Strictly speaking, though, you don't really even have to have a mill. We've found that if we let the almonds soak overnight in apple juice, it's possible to whip up a batch of "milk" solely with the aid of a blender!
To make about five quarts of almond milk, all you have to do is blend together the following ingredients:
[1] One gallon of organic apple juice
[2] Approximately 2 to 2-1/2 pounds (about 4 to 5 cups) of almonds, either finely ground or in the form of a nut butter
[3] One-half pound (7 to 8 tablespoons) of finely ground sesame seeds or 4 to 5 tablespoons of sesame tahini
[4] One tablespoon of Brazil nuts, finely ground or in the form of a butter (optional)
[5] One tablespoon of powdered cinnamon
[6] One tablespoon of powdered nutmeg
[7] One tablespoon of vanilla
[8] One tablespoon of lecithin (optional).
After blending, strain the milk and bottle it. (Note: Refrigerate the juice as soon as possible, unless you intend to drink it right away.)
We usually decant the 160 ounces of rich, creamy liquid into two quart-sized (32-ounce) bottles and six pint-sized (16-ounce) bottles, which we then sell to the health food store for $2.25 per quart or $1.15 per pint. (The quarts and pints retail for $2.85 and $1.55, respectively.)
See Figure 1 for our "per batch" cost breakdown (all prices are wholesale).
Obviously, the batch cost could be reduced further if we recycled the pint containers, but this isn't always possible. (Usually, though, we are able to reuse the quart bottles.)
We sell the 160 ounces of nut nog to stores for $11.40 (two quarts at $2.25 each plus six pints at $1.15 each). So you can see that our profit per five-quart batch comes to an even $5.00 ... which ain't bad for about two hours' work. (Remember, this is the kind of "work" you do in your own home, at your own pace, while you sip juice and make small talk with a friend.) Your profit could be considerably higher, if you could get one or more ingredients-the apple juice, say-at a lower cost.
Variations on the Almond Milk Business
Anyone going into the nut nog business in a big way would probably be wise to convert the almonds and Brazils into a finely ground butter prior to making up batches of milk. This does two things: It eliminates the need for (and time spent on) a straining step, and it makes the nuts go a bit further (since you don't end up straining out—and throwing away—tiny nut fragments).
Michael never stopped experimenting with different versions of the milk and—as a result—our nut nog never came out the same way twice. One of Michael's most brilliant gastronomic achievements—and something you'll want to try yourself—was his nondairy yogurt. Simply [1] buy a package of yogurt (or kefir) starter at your local health food store, [2] sterilize a quart bottle, [3] heat some unstrained almond milk to 180° (too hot to touch, but not boding), then [4] when the milk has cooled to room temperature, pour it into the sterile container and add the yogurt or kefir starter. Store the liquid at room temperature for 24 hours, and voila! Almond milk yogurt! (Hint: To make more yogurt, repeat the above procedure using three tablespoons of almond yogurt in place of the starter.)
We also occasionally make a scrumptious "chocolate almond milk" by adding roasted carob powder to the basic milk recipe. (Invariably, this was—when we were making it—our best seller. You should've heard the "oohs" and "aahs" whenever we walked into the store carrying armloads of chocolate nut milk!)
Another variation that's definitely worth trying is carob-mint almond milk. Just add five drops of pure peppermint oil extract to a pint of carob flavored nut nog, shake, and pour. (You've got to taste it to believe it!)
So there you have the story: the complete story—in a nutshell—of how Michael and I got hooked on almond milk. We've made a healthy profit selling this healthful beverage, and there's no reason why you can't do the same. All you really need are almonds, apple juice, a blender, and a little determination. (Plus, perhaps, an aversion to $250 dental bills!)

The mark of Zorro
Who is that masked man? Oh, it was Zorro, all right, just not Antonio Banderas or one of the other Hollywood heartthrobs who portrayed the master swordsman on the silver screen.
And just as Zorro, alter ego of the fictional nobleman Don Diego de la Vega, was too cunning and foxlike to be caught as he defended "people of the land against tyrannical governors and other villans," the anonymous local actor (or was it an attorney?) who dressed as Zorro for the ball was very coy about revealing his identity.

Value Line is regarded as the best independent research available. More than just recommendations, Value Line provides the rationale behind its picks for greater understanding.
The Brokers & Exchanges Industry is cyclical and comprised of two distinct types of businesses. Brokerages, also known as financial services companies, strive to meet the investing needs of their clients, and exchanges facilitate securities trading. Net profits correlate to the performance of the broader equity market. Some hold up better than their peers during bear markets.
Brokerages are fairly diversified. A big chunk of the top line comes from filling buy and sell orders from clients. There are two ways in which a broker can meet a client's trade request. The broker can act as an intermediary, matching a customer's buy order with a third-party's sell order and vice versa. In this capacity, the broker acts as an agent, receiving a "Commission" (highlighted on the Value Line page). As well, the broker can act as a principal, meeting a customer's order from its own inventory. Revenue from this activity falls under the heading "Principal Transactions"; it may include gains and losses on the brokerage's own investments. We usually classify fee-based revenue as "Other". Fees are calculated as a percentage of a client's assets, and stem from managed mutual funds and specialized, high-net-worth accounts.
Brokerages also report on the top line "Interest Income", consisting of interest earned on investments and dividends, minus interest paid on debt. Lastly, a number companies generate "Investment Banking" revenue through underwriting and advisory services, involving stock or bond offerings and mergers or acquisitions. While Principal Transactions, Interest Income, and Investment Banking revenues are tied to prevailing economic conditions, Commissions can be more stable during down markets, especially if client trading increases.
The largest non-interest expense for full-service brokerages is workforce compensation. Employees are rewarded according to the amount of commission, trading and/or investment banking revenue that they contribute. They may receive either a percentage of revenue generated or a year-end bonus. Discount brokerages limit their compensation exposure by providing electronic services. Full-service brokers provide personalized service and in-house research. Electronic brokers offer more bare-bones service to seasoned clients who are looking to save on fees. (Note: Our reports on electronic brokers follow the standard industrial format.) A brokerage's profitability is determined by trading volume, fees charged, worker compensation and fixed operating costs. In periods of high trading volume, brokers' operating and net margins can easily expand into double-digit territory.
The companies in this industry have varying levels of debt on their balance sheets. Large brokers, doing significant investment banking business, often carry heavy debt burdens with the aim of maximizing leverage. Savvy investments can yield outsized gains, but serious missteps can lead to hefty losses. Companies dependent on commissions tend to be managed conservatively and hold lighter debt balances.
Exchanges provide a marketplace for traders to buy and sell securities. In years past, trading took place on large open floors, where buyers and sellers engaged in face-to-face transactions. Today, most exchanges utilize electronic systems, which allow for fast, efficient trading. A few still use traditional trading floors, but in conjunction with an electronic system.
Exchanges generate revenue in several ways. Those that concentrate on the equities market collect fees from listed companies. Both equity and derivative exchanges receive a payment for each trade that takes place on their platform. The top lines of these companies perform quite well during volatile markets. Another source of revenue comes from supplying market data to financial information providers. Too, revenue may be produced from developing, marketing and distributing technology used in trading and information processing. Among other means of generating revenue, an exchange may clear third-party or in-house trades.
Compared with those of brokerages, the cost structures of exchanges are more fixed in nature. Operating performance is linked to transaction volume. Margins expand as trading increases, and the reverse is true when activity slows. Reductions in fixed costs enhance operating leverage. Generally, exchanges do not assume heavy debt burdens. Substantial debt, however, will be taken on to complete a promising acquisition. Managements endeavor to quickly lighten the burden with improved cash flow.
This sector of the industry has, indeed, undergone consolidation. Domestic exchanges have merged with foreign bourses to gain diversification. Also, many have acquired small competitors that offer attractive market niches complementing existing operations. For instance, companies that focus on equity trading have expanded the scope of business by acquiring options exchanges.
Given the cyclical nature of this industry, investors have to be willing to endure a healthy dose of volatility. Most Securities Brokerage issues carry above-market Betas (1.00). Since the equities market is a leading indicator of the prospects for the broader economy, investors need to be attuned to the business cycle in order to commit at an opportune time. Though not a big lure, several companies, here, do pay a dividend. All considered, these stocks are best suited to those seeking worthwhile price appreciation potential and able to stomach a sizable helping of volatility.

BR40 LED Light Bulbs
BR40 LEDs are an ideal recessed lighting option for larger (6 inch) cans when your goal is general lighting rather than accent lighting.This is because the bulge shape of a BR40 provides a more diffuse light than the sharp beams of a PAR shaped lamp. And the lamp itself is 5 inches across, leaving you with not too much space between the bulb and the can. So if you want to provide recessed lighting for an entire room rather than one area, BR40 bulbs are a good choice.
(If you're looking for the same kind of general lighting but are using smaller cans -- 4 to 5 inches -- you may want to consider BR30 LEDs, which are just under 4 inches wide.)
Besides the BR40 shape providing great general lighting from larger recessed cans, choosing LED bulbs means choosing to save money over time while still enjoying the benefits of quality color rendering and instant on lighting. Most LEDs also dim (check the bulb specifications for details), and they typically last for many, many years. So besides just saving you money on energy, they're likely to save you money in total bulb and maintenance costs as well. This makes LED a truly smart choice for businesses that think long term!
You can get more details in our article on BR30 LED and BR40 LED Light Bulbs.
We try to make your BR40 LED selection even more valuable by offering top brands at competitive prices alongside our commitment to customer service and customer-friendly policies. We want to get you the right bults, and get them to you quickly. So when business is on the line, consider Lighting Supply for all your lighting needs!

Android Botnet May Be Spewing Spam
Jul 5, 2012 11:26 AM PT
An international botnet could be using infected Android handsets to send out massive amounts of spam, Microsoft antispam engineer Terry Zink said in a Thursday blog posts on MSDN.
Zink reportedly identified the botnet and its Google Android connection by examining the headers of spam that included the signature "Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android." An analysis of IP addresses suggested the Android smartphones were being used throughout the world including in Chile, Indonesia, Lebanon, Oman, the Philippines, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, the Ukraine and Venezuela.
The spam includes offers to buy products such as prescription drugs. In other words, usual spam but from an unlikely source -- namely, mobile handsets. However, Zink's research is being met with some skepticism.
"I currently can't confirm -- or deny -- the existence of this supposed Android botnet," said Roel Schouwenberg, senior malware researcher at Kaspersky Lab. "The mentioned blog post doesn't provide any actual proof of its existence. The evidence put forward to claim that this is an Android botnet is based on data which is easily spoofed or forged."
Microsoft and Google did not respond to our requests to comment for this story.
Same Spam, New Platform
Creating malware for Android, itself based on open source code, really wouldn't be any more challenging than creating malware for a PC.
"I wouldn't think it would be hugely different if the purpose is to disseminate spam or launch a DoS attack," Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-It, told LinuxInsider. "The main thing would be to keep the malicious code lightweight enough that it wouldn't impact the system too severely -- and thus alert the user that something hinky is going on."
Despite this fact, Android isn't really any more susceptible than any other OS at this point, King added.
"Earlier on, Google came in for numerous complaints about the company not thoroughly policing apps in the Android Market, but the company seems to have cleaned up its act," he noted. "From what I've read, the assumption is that the botnet is being disseminated by people who are downloading hacked or cracked apps to avoid user fees. If that's the case, it's another prime example of there being no such thing as a free lunch."
Targeting Developing Markets
Considering how cheap Android apps are today, why would anyone want to take the risk of infecting their handset?
"An overabundance of dumbassitude would be my guess," quipped King.
This would likely be true in the developed world, where an app for US$1 is a bargain. However, in the developing world, users may be looking to saving every penny and therefore might take more risks.
"Users don't go looking for rogue apps. That's not the way this threat works," said telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan. "We will see more mobile botnets the same way we see more viruses and malware."
Many apps likely appear normal but do their dirty work behind the scenes, suggested Kagan. "Otherwise, users would take them off as quickly as they put them on -- and that is the problem. It can spread widely, and no one knows where it came from or where it is located."
Only to Get Worse
The problem will likely only get worse. Hackers already target widely used operating systems, which is why the PC has been a prime target. As it gains market share, Google's Android will likely attract hackers who put the OS in the crosshairs.
"This is a natural next step in the battleground we are all on every single day," said Kagan. "Unfortunately, it's just part of the process. Apps are a perfect way to deliver malware."
Fortunately, where there are problems, there are solutions.
"Protection will be the next step," emphasized Kagan. "Just like we install antivirus software on our laptops, we'll install protection against this new threat on our smartphones and tablets."

Roddy Hammersmythe is a versatile rider, a rouler, hard man and captain on the road for Team Sky's debut at the prestigious Giro D'Italia. The last man signed by manager Scott Sunderland, Roddy brings a wealth of experience and a dominating personality whenever and wherever there's a bike race to be won. Right now that race is in Italy, and friend-of-Pappillon Twisted Spoke will be talking with Roddy via phone after each stage to get his unique and entertaining view of the Giro d'Italia.
There is no mistaking the excitment and passion Roddy brings to Team Sky. "My role is to bring the hammer," he says. That's the attitude, right? I set the tone on the squad and it's all about the hammer."
Working with a British team and so many British riders is a dream come true from Hammersmythe. "We got got something special here, it's like when Deep Purple would hit the stage or Led Zeppelin. The lads believe in each other and we're putting on a show," says Roddy. We're here to rock 'n' roll, top the podium and score UCI points."
With major stars like Bradley Wiggins, Evald Boassen Hagen and Juan Antonio Flecha, it would be easy to overlook the major impact that Roddy has on the squad. "He's the spark plus, the emotional leader of Sky, he brings the hammer," says manager Scott Sunderland. "He makes my job easy, because Roddy knows exactly what to do at any given moment in a race. There's nothing he hasn't seen or done."
Stay tuned to Twisted Spoke because we're sure you'll be hearing plenty from Roddy as team Sky tackles the Giro for the first time.

Colorado Springs Writers Reading Series
Monday, January 2, 2012
I forgot to mention something in my blog post yesterday. I currently have available seats in my English 227 (Poetry Writing) class at PPCC this spring. Enrollment is still open, and I'd love for those of you who are interested-- in Colorado only, though, as it's a face-to-face class-- to register, or spread the word to those of your writing friends who might enjoy the class. Honestly, I think the study of poetry is educational for any student or intellectual, so even if you write primarily fiction or nonfiction, try it out.
This class meets at the Centennial campus, Monday nights from 5:30 till 8. We'll be completing one rhetorical analysis, tons of writing exercises and prompts, and several workshop sessions. Hope you can join!

Here's an announcement before I get to the photos from last month's reading. At 7:30pm on Friday, January 13th, the CSWRS event will have a guest host, as I will be out of town for that particular weekend. (And I will be purchasing a very large, very obnoxious daily planner so this double-scheduling doesn't happen again.)
Janele Johnson, chair of the literature department at PPCC, will be stepping in for me. You might remember her from March 2011, when she presented her poetry as a featured author. She's basically awesome. Books will still be sold at the book table, we'll still be in the BAC main gallery, and there will still be a suggested donation of $2/person to pay for venue costs. Remember to support the BAC by purchasing a drink at the bar! Feel free to email me with any questions at email@example.com, or leave a comment here on the blog.
The January event will resume our regular format of ten Open Mic readers (3-5 minutes each), a short intermission, and our featured guest,
Greenwoman Zine editor and publisher Sandra Knauf
. I first learned about Sandra's writing through
this article
The Gazette
. I'm sad that I'll miss her reading, but I know each of you will enjoy it. Nonfiction buffs, gardeners, and those who find inspiration in nature should make sure they don't miss this one!
Okay. So December's reading was fantastic. We had a great turnout, and the rich artwork lining the walls of the BAC seemed to envelop everyone in attendance. Books by past featured authors were sold, and peppermint cookies were consumed.
Oh. And did I mention that we had three fabulous writers share their work?
Michael Ferguson, a regular Open Mic contributor
and student of writing at UCCS, shared a fiction piece exposing
the complex relationships between brothers and fathers.
M.R. Hyde (of the blog I frequent,
) read a holiday story that had
everyone rolling. ReeAnn "does the voices" of her characters - something
I've always admired about hearing her written work!
Tim Christian, another writer who reads his characters so perfectly
well aloud, had copies of his first novel (
The Strange and Thrilling
of James Charles Fogarty
) for sale, and more copies
will be available at future readings.
My thanks to those who read during our shortened Open Mic session. It was another successful night for the creative writing that flourishes in Colorado Springs.
Enjoy January's reading!

By Liane Kupferberg Carter Aug 20, 2013 7
As soon as I heard the solemn strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" I was a puddle.
Luckily, the school principal, Cindy, had already taken the precaution of passing out boxes of tissues just before the ceremony. Amidst applause and tears, we watched as the graduates in green caps and gowns marched into the gym. Our son Mickey was graduating from the transition class he'd been attending the last year and a half.
Mickey's teacher, Jackie, had alerted us that he'd written a graduation speech. "There is no pressure for him to read it if he decides last minute that he does not want to," she'd said. "He's told me he wants to wear regular clothes under his cap and gown, so it's up to you if you want him to change. This is a stress-free event!"
Oh, but not for me.
This was the culmination of everything my husband Marc and I have worked long and fought hard for. Thousands of hours of therapy that began when Mickey was only 19 months old. Not knowing in those early years if he would ever learn to speak. Struggling for coverage with insurance companies. Fighting for services with the school district. Navigating medical crises. Years filled with fears and tears, but joy and pride too, for Mickey's many hard won accomplishments.
Jackie had prepared personal remarks for each of her graduating students. "Mickey has been my biggest comedian in all my years of teaching," she told the audience. "Every day he arrives into school making jokes and pretending to be various characters—if we let him I bet he would spend the entire day acting silly and making silly remarks." She described skills mastered; friendships maintained. "I am going to miss Mickey," she said, "but I will be happy for him, too. I know he is going to be a success at whatever he chooses to do, because he already is."
Jackie motioned to Mickey. Beaming, he bounded up, speech in hand. He thanked everyone. "I learned much about working in the community and getting along with others," he said. "I had fun this year!"
One last time, I wondered: should we have also asked to let him walk in the regular public high school's graduation ceremony? A small sliver of sadness. After all, he'd spent six years there. But Mickey is 21 now; his high school contemporaries are long gone. And Mickey didn't seem to think he was missing out on anything. Quite the contrary. I thought of something wise my older son Jonathan had recently said: Focus on what you have; stop focusing on what you don't.
We adjourned to the conference room for lunch, and everyone posed for pictures with the graduates. I watched in awe as Mickey confidently worked the crowd, introducing family members, therapists, and teachers to each other. So at ease. So appropriate. "Look how exuberant he is," Marc marveled.
Again I thought of Jonathan's words. Carpe diem, I told myself. Seize this day and savor it. I hugged Mickey.
"So proud of you, hon," I said. "Love you."
"Love you too, Mom," he said.
We call graduation "commencement." A beginning. But it is also an ending, the punctuation mark that seals off 16 years of formal education. The yellow school bus won't be stopping at our door anymore. We are crossing that bridge between childhood, and ,,, whatever comes next.

An International Conference at the University of Chicago, May 7-8, 2012
Under what guises do the German-Jewish past and German-Jewish thought and literature appear in the Middle East today? How might they operate as a productive reference point in understanding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the broader cultural and political context that surrounds the conflict in the Middle East? And how does the context of the Middle East allow us to better understand German-Jewish literature and thought and to rethink the enduring legacy of the German-Jewish encounter, in both its productive and its catastrophic moments? These are some of the broader questions that will be broached at this conference, which brings scholars from the Middle East, Europe and the United States to the University of Chicago for two days in May 2012.
The conference builds on the interest generated by a previous conference, on "German and Hebrew: Histories of a Conversation," which took place at the University of Chicago in April 2010. That event focused on different forms of literary and cultural interactions between the two languages, especially after the Second World War. It drew an audience of faculty and graduate students from several departments in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Participants shared a sense that the conference served to establish an emerging conversation on the German-Hebrew contact zone as a scholarly subfield in its own right. One intention of this follow-up event, then, is to explore more systematically the place of this subfield within existing scholarly contexts and specifically to illuminate the stakes of bringing into conversation the fields of German-Jewish Studies and Middle Eastern Studies. The conference is jointly sponsored by the Center for Jewish Studies and the Center for Middle Eastern Studies and brings together intellectual-historians, literary scholars and translators.
By inviting participants to focus on literary and philosophic texts and on their translation and circulation, the conference aims to eschew the zero-sum, either-or logic of politics in favor of the challenges of complexity and multivalence.

In our most recent rules question, Travis Lee attempts to catch a pop up but is bumped by the runner on first base, who is attempting to return to the bag. Lee makes the catch despite the contact, and the question is whether such contact results in a violation of the Official Rules.
The options were:A. No violation. The play stands because the ball was caught.
When a runner makes contact with a fielder attempting to make a play on a batted ball, interference has been committed. It does not matter if the contact is accidental or if the fielder is able to complete the play. Once a runner commits interference, the ball is dead and the runner is declared out. If, in the judgment of the umpire, the runner's interference is willful and deliberate to prevent a double play (which this was not), the umpire would declare both the runner and batter-runner out.
Our rules experts have fared better in previous questions. The most common answer submitted was C, which is incorrect because when interference is called, the ball is dead immediately and all further action is ignored by the umpire. The correct answer to this question was B: The runner is declared out. All other runner(s) would return to the base last occupied at the time of interference, and the batter-runner is actually awarded first base (even though the ball was caught).
Here are some answers from fans who nailed this one correctly:
The correct answer is "B," citing rule 7.08(b). The runner must avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball. If the umpire felt that such action was intended to break up a double play, both the runner and batter-runner could be called out. In this particular play the actions of the runner were not to intentionally attempt to break up a double play.
-- Eric Lambert
Very good answer, Eric!
I actually had this happen in a college game I called last year. The runner is out under 7.09(L) and the fielder caught a dead ball. The batter is awarded first base on the play. The correct answer is B. The net result is the same as in A, other than the batter remains at first, rather than the runner.
-- Tim Stevens
Rule 7.08(b) seems to apply. The fielder makes contact with a runner who is off the bag and attempting to return to the base. It is the runner's responsibility to avoid the fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball. Regardless if the contact was intentional or not, the runner can be called out. This would be a judgment call for the umpire to decide if the runner "hindered" the fielder. I believe the proper response would be "B." The runner is out and the batter is awarded first base.
-- L.G. Robbins
Correct, L.G., except that professional umpires are instructed that contact of this type is considered "hindering," and therefore interference.
I think it's B. The runner is out for interference and the batter is awarded first base. According to Rule 7.08 (b), "A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to make a play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not." The ball is dead at the moment of interference, and the batter-runner is awarded first base (provided the interference was not intentional, and I think it was obviously not). [according PBUC Umpire Manual 4.24 example 5]
-- P. Geronne, Germany
I believe that the rule involved here is 7.09(L). The key parts are: "It is interference by a batter or a runner when ... He fails to avoid a fielder who is attempting to field a batted ball ... PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is dead." Using that rule, the appropriate ruling would be to declare the ball dead, call the runner out, and award the batter-runner first base.
-- Richard Palmieri
Good answer!

What TV news won't tell you about March for Life
Study claims networks twisting abortion coverage to push agenda
As hundreds of thousands descend upon D.C. this weekend for the March for Life, expect television news crews – one journalist's study suggests – to deliberately slant the story.
According to LifeNews.com's Katie Yoder, a study of the last 10 years of TV news reports on the annual march – which demands an end to legalized abortion and a right to life be recognized for the unborn – reveals 91 percent of ABC, NBC and CBS anchor reports dodge even mentioning the point of the march: the word "life."
Instead, the study reveals, TV reporters engage in a deliberate attempt to paint the marchers as "anti-abortion protesters," while more graciously referring to advocates of legalized abortion as "defenders of abortion rights."
According to Yoder, in 22 reports over the time span, the word "life" was used just twice – in 2003, when NBC's Kelly O'Donnell introduced the marchers as a "pro-life group" and in 2007 when Russ Mitchell of CBS' "Early Show" described the event according to its own title, a march "for life."
In the other 20 reports studied, Yoder found the marchers referred to as "anti-abortion activists" or "opponents" of the landmark Supreme Court abortion case Roe v. Wade or using other labels that mark pro-lifers by what they're against, rather than what they advocate.
Never mind that the marchers call themselves "pro-lifers" or "pro-life marchers," the Associated Press style book – which informs and guides most news outlets in the U.S. – expressly states, "Use anti-abortion instead of pro-life and abortion rights instead of pro-abortion or pro-choice."
If that dictate be inherently biased, as some pro-life advocates claim, the vast majority of news coverage in the U.S. necessarily follows suit.
In 2010, for example, National Public Radio specifically cited the AP guidelines in announcing its policy, "On the air, we should use 'abortion rights supporter(s)/advocate(s)' and 'abortion rights opponent(s).'"
David Sweeney, NPR's managing editor, explained, "This updated policy is aimed at ensuring the words we speak and write are as clear, consistent and neutral as possible."
Author Wesley J. Smith noted last year that the Washington Post and New York Times even went so far as to misreport the title of Richard Doerflinger as the "Associate Director of Anti-Abortion Activities for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops." Doerflinger's actual, official title is "Associate Director of Pro-Life Activities."
Columnist La Shawn Barber scoffed at the "neutral as possible" explanation offered by NPR.
"Mainstream media, take a memo," she wrote in a tongue-in-cheek column published shortly after the NPR decision, "and frame all news stories this way: Refer to abortion supporters as 'right to life opponents,' refer to gun control supporters as 'gun rights opponents,' refer to 'hate speech' backers as 'speech rights opponents.'"
"Who wants to be against rights, right?" Barber quipped.
A quick and informal survey of print articles from this year's march reflects a similar trend, as USA Today referred to the pro-life marchers merely as "marchers" and "protesters," the Washington Post referred to them as "antiabortion activists" and the Detroit Free Press referred to the marchers as "abortion protesters" and "anti-abortion demonstrators" (before a later online edition changed the language to merely "protesters" and "marchers").
A live blog posted by U.S. News & World Report, however, refers to the marchers as "pro-life advocates."

Catching up with the Mets:
* Minor league outfielder Fernando Martinez, who had season-ending surgery on his right knee in July, is expected to begin playing for Leones del Escogido in the Dominican Winter League in November.
Martinez played in 29 games for the Mets this summer and hit .176 with only seven extra base hits. Clearly, that's not a big enough sampling to say he won't make it, but it is fair to say he's not ready.
Martinez showed glimpses of his talent, but it was apparent his on-field judgment in terms of base-running and defensive fundamentals need improving. To say he'll be a star if just given the at-bats is premature.
* The Mets would like a veteran presence behind the plate to replace Brian Schneider and complement Omir Santos. Bengie Molina and Rod Barajas are on GM Omar Minaya's short list. But, wouldn't it be just like the Mets to made another run at Yorvit Torrealba?
* VP of scouting, Sandy Johnson, who considered retirement, will be back for another year.
* The Mets are still interested in adding former major league general managers Kevin Towers (San Diego) and J.P. Ricciardi (Toronto) to their staff.
* Reportedly, Chip Hale, former Arizona third base coach at Arizona, will be offered that position by the Mets to replace Razor Shines. It's not a done deal Shines will be named bench coach as there are reports the team is considering former Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin for that role.

I don't even know where to start. There's so much to say about these knives :-)
I couldn't find them locally or online in time for Christmas, so I ordered direct from Mr Menefee, and he was both efficient and delightful to correspond with. It's always a joy to be "in touch" with inventors who love their work :-)
I think many of the criticisms that have been voiced here are accurate... I'm just not sure they're relevant <LOL!> Some of them sound like the culinary equivalent of looking at a Volkswagen and expecting it to be a Mercedes... or a Kia... That just... isn't what the Sabers are *for*, folks! <LOL!> They're not luxury items, and they're not dollar-store-throw-aways. They're good knives, and reasonably priced. Period.
Of course these are not the knives for everyone, they were never meant to be. They were meant to satisfy a specific, under-served niche in the market. I have no idea if they serve the intended market well or not, because I'm not it <LOL!> I'm a suburban minivan-mommy with three kids.
And I freaking LOVE this knife-and-block set.
With a family of 5, and two or three really expensive "good knives", you don't get much help in the kitchen. It's too inconvenient and intimidating.
With a generous set of awesome, sharp, well-balanced and designed knives that just beg to be used, you get people CLAMORING to help.
Put a price tag on *that*, I dare you! :-)
We've eaten more home-cooked meals since Christmas than we did for the last 6 MONTHS. No exaggeration. Because suddenly it is FUN to do the prep work again.
The main points that I would like to convey about these knives are obviously from a family/mommy perspective. But I don't see people expressing that perspective much, so here goes:
0. They're fun to use. Not annoying, finicky, or temperamental.
1. There are enough knives to go around a large family and let everyone help.
2. There are enough knives of different shapes and sizes to suit different hands and different tasks.
3. The knives have weight, substance, and enough polish to clearly announce themselves as "good knives", not "junk"
4. Despite being "good knives", they are not so expensive that dad has a heart attack when one gets run through the dishwasher or used to cut on a glass plate. He can philosophically comment "That's not how we treat the good knives, sweetie, it dulls them - here's how we fix that up again." and grab the steel to show 'em how it's done.
5. The knife block just plain rocks. It is the best knife block ever.
We have overhanging cabinets, but we just spin the rack until the desired handle protrudes from under the cabinet. Never even gave it a thought. The blades do not touch the block unless you try very hard, and the extra slots and spaces are extremely useful We've put aside two now-unneeded counter-top utensil containers because things fit so nicely in the Saber block.
I cannot BEGIN to stress enough how valuable it is, as a family who wishes to pass the love of good food, good cooking, good tools, and good relationships on to our children, to have tools that we can actually *afford* to teach our children to USE. Spending more money on individual knives to save money over this "set" would not achieve any of the goals *we* personally had (see above points).
If it weren't for the fact that the affordability was the point here, I'd say they were priceless <grin>.
But truly, their value is not counted in dollars, not by me, at least.
My kids have participated in meal prep voluntarily, and we've eaten and *enjoyed* creating home-cooked meals together almost every day since Christmas, and we just haven't ever done that before. We'd devolved into a convenience-food rut that really sucked. We even got a new crock pot just so we can have an excuse to cut up more veggies together ;-p
I just couldn't be happier with them.
As for my husband, who is the one who got them as a Christmas gift; well, he doesn't have much to say.
He's the quiet type.
But he hasn't griped once about anything to do with their form, function, or value. And he's in the kitchen, having fun with the kids again.
And for me, that says it all.

Hope someone is still reading this string of comments!
I just received the chef bag set today and so far I am very pleased from the limited testing I have done with it.
My next question since I would like a beautiful way to store these at home as well - does anyone know if there is a way to purchase the triangle block alone? I love the design but for me getting the specific knives in the bag set with the bag for versatility was the better fit...
Thanks and Merry Christmas all!

Keep a look out on the
Saber Knives website
. The latest update from Saber Knives is that they plan on adding the knife block to be sold on the website directly. I'm not sure when this will happen, so keep checking once in a while.

Hello Michael,
I love working in my kitchen. It is an extension of my childhood, from when my sister and I worked along side our mom, in her kitchen. She showed us how to prepare food for large family style meals and how to bake for birthdays and holidays. The last few years, I've been noticing fatigue and cramping in my hand, while chopping and preparing food, so I've decided to upgrade my kitchen knives, in order to make it a bit easier for me.
Over the years, I have acquired a few knives that have served me well but this is the first time I have allowed myself to become serious about finding and purchasing good knives. Searching kitchen knife reviews led me to Cooking For Engineers. The first article I read was Chef's Knives Rated. I've been price checking and comparing the MAC MTH-80 Mighty Chef to other chef knives for over a while now...They cost more since the article was written...Even so, I am tempted to purchase one, but I would still need more knives. Would you put together and share with me, a mix and match knife (make/model/size/cost) ensemble (paring/boning/utility/santoku/chef/bread/carver/cleaver) that you think would make up a good variety of knives to have on hand in the kitchen? I surely would appreciate it.
After trying to wrap my head around the cost of the new knives I would like to own, I'd be lying if I said that this Saber Kitchen Knives article didn't make me happy and excited. They do appear to be a great cost saving value and the reviews are stellar. I read that Saber uses German stainless steel X45CrMoV15, while the high end German (more expensive) competitors use X50CrMoV15 or X55CrMoV15. What do the numbers 45, 50 and 55 mean? What does it mean in terms of steel quality, stain resistance and durability for long term use comparisons?
Can you recommended any home knife sharpeners for MAC/Japanese knives or Saber/German knives?

My advice comes from the opposite end: do everything you can not to dull them!
Never, ever use a sharp knife on anything harder than maple, and even that's stretching it a bit.
Soft cutting boards (even wet wood is softer than dry)
No sawing through bone with a chef's knife when another tool would be better suited to the job.
Dry immediately after use. Sharpness is a microscopic function, and water + metal equals corrosion, no matter how "stainless" the steel.
Until you know your tools intimately -- which may take a few years, find a good, reliable knife sharpener and visit him regularly and keep asking why your knives don't stay sharp. Ask HIM for advice! If he's any good he'll tell you why, and what any good doctor would: "I hope I don't see you for a long, long time!"

Post subject: individual knives or the set
So just like the guy a few days ago asked, i have been looking for new knives.. was just going to buy some individually but in general this set looks strong.
You dont typically write reviews like this one, where you give it so many points without the cons. Do you think that this set is strong enough of its own or would you prefer some of the blades and then mix and match with other individual blades you find in your other reviews?
Basically i would really like you to answer the guys question from like 2 days ago.

Most of the cons will be related to how the knife feels in your hand or if the curvature of the blade will suit you. That's true for each knife in the set. For that reason I use a variety of different knives. I still use a Mac MTH-80 for my chef's knife, a Forschner for my boning, a Shun for my paring...
The Saber set is a very strong set (performing as well or better than my Henckels and Wusthof blades) - it's good all around, but it's unlikely that any particular knife set will have the best chef's, bread, paring, boning, etc. knife for you. At this price, though, I think it's one of the best values you can find in today's marketplace.
If you're want the best individual pieces for you, then it's going to be a long process that involves trying and buying a lot of knives to piece together the set you will use. Along the way, you'll end up with a bunch of extra pieces that just didn't feel right after a few weeks, etc. I think it might make sense to get a set of Saber Knives as a starting point since most of your cutting needs will be met by them and then if you don't like a particular piece, replace it with something you do like better in the future. If you end up liking all the pieces, then your search is over. Unfortunately, once a reviewer confirms a certain level of quality and performance has been reached, the individual buyer needs to pick from all the ones the reviewers like to see what is best for him. Are you hands, fingers, arms, table setup, etc. more similar to mine or another reviewers? All these variables play into whether or not you'll find the use of the knife pleasurable and comfortable.

Matthew -
here's the naked truth:
there is no universal "best" for every cook on the planet.
if you buy a decent set of knives in terms of overall construction and metals, the only thing left is how the handle fits your hand and whether you are comfortable with the blade geometry.
good construction = full tang; 2-3 rivets on the handle; bolster if you want one.
metals: Chinese lead knives just don't hold an edge. cheap knives usually are not made from high quality steel.
steel: take your pick - the classic carbon steel knives that will discolor and patina or stainless. don't get hung up on Brand X has a Rockwell C hardness that is 1.1435632 more that Brand Y - in practice it doesn't make a difference.
the handle: they're all different. whether the handle feels right in your hand is something only you can judge.
blade geometry: a chef's knife is not a chef's knife. there is no ISO documents that describes how long, how much belly, where the belly starts, etc., a chef's knife should have.
geometry gets more important as you move into different "general styles" - for example the santuko - same lengths available as for chef's knives, but the blade shape is flatter. too flat, not flat enough, maybe a cleaver style? absolutely impossible to 'predict' - those are things you need to decide based on your own use and habits.
here's a good approach - pick out the sizes & styles you think you are interested in. go the five&dime and buy a cheap knife with the handle & geometry that appeals. check it out. you should expect that it will not hold an edge all too long (that's the cheap metal thing) - but it will give you some cheap, up close and personal experience you can use when you decide to plunk down more cash.

Distance swimming in Breckenridge
by, March 14th, 2013 at 03:56 PM (579 Views)
Today is our last day in Breckenridge. I am up to 16 cumulative miles towards the 50 mile club. Xmas/New Years 9 miles, this trip 7 miles. I don't have much in terms of thrilling speed or times; the main goal was to get the mileage in. It took me just over 1 hour to swim 2 miles. I have to go really slow to not feel the lack-of-oxygen burn. Other than my 1easy 1 mile day, I would do 3600 yards as 600 warm up, then 3000 left in blocks of 500 or 1000 sets. I did work on my pushoffs a bit, now that I am swimming the 500 free, the goal is to swim as little of it as possible but going as efficiently while not actually doing the swim bits. So if I can get my hips and body aligned really good, then it makes a noticable difference in the distance on my pushoff and breakouts. That's one less line to have to swim!
Next up: 13 hour drive back to Dallas! Two weeks of very busy work to the end of my fiscal year 03/31. South Central Zones is on the mega zone meet weekend across the US 04-05 to 04-07. Once all those meet results are up, i'll know about where I stand for the year.

Louie enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in the fall of 1993 and began his four-year stint in August 1994. He was assigned to an amphibious assault crew and became crew chief of a 26-ton vehicle. Civilians who have never seen an amphibious assault vehicle – used to transport Marines from ships to beaches, and through hostile territory – are often amazed by their sheer size and firepower.
During this assignment, Louie learned to operate a variety of weapons, including M-16 and M203 rifles, a M240 SAW 50-caliber machine gun, a MK19 automatic grenade launcher, mortar launchers, and a Howitzer artillery gun. (The history of the Howitzer – originally a cannon on wheels – goes back hundreds of years.) Louie admits he only fired the Howitzer once, but that it was a "cool experience".
Louie also mentioned watching a B1 bomber airplane drop a 500-pound bomb from a distance. It took over a minute from the bomb's detonation for the sound to be heard – an experience he still remembers as truly amazing. Later in his career, he spent nine months on dry land as a marksmanship instructor before completing his enlistment and attending college.
His main take-away from his time in the Marines? "Team work and integrity go a long way in life. It worked for me as a Marine, and now as a civilian."

Late last week, along with so many of you, I read Dr. Danielle N. Lee's honest and horrifying post on The Urban Scientist about the email exchange she had with a website editor who invited her to write posts for free and then called her an "urban whore" when she declined. This side of suffrage, emancipation, the Enlightenment, and the end of the Middle Ages, there's really only one possible reaction to such a story, which is to be outraged at the inhumanity and unprofessionalism of the editor's response. Those words would be cowardly and reprehensible if directed at anyone, but aiming them at one of the too-few women of color in the science blogosphere also drags in racism and sexism.
Then, unfortunately, that original offense was all but eclipsed by Scientific American's decision to remove Danielle's post, citing an unbelievable reason for doing so. Later statements from Mariette DiChristina, the editor in chief, gave a fuller explanation but even that was generally received as incomplete, inconsistent, and at least partly unbelievable.
Although this has all been on my mind a lot in recent days, I've found it difficult to write anything about it for several reasons. Because of my friendship with Mariette and my tenure at SciAm, it's personal for me in ways that differ from the ways it's personal for many others. In the blogosphere and Twitter, I've seen a lot of insightful expressions of beautiful humanity in the wake of this, and righteous anger that bigotry and sexism are daily, hourly occurrences for most of the population. I've also seen a lot of that anger be quick to sneer at perspectives like mine as privileged and condescending—and because I understand why they can be, I've mostly shut up.
But tonight I read Paul Raeburn's good post for the Knight Science Journalism Tracker, "Slur sparks turmoil among science bloggers and at Scientific American," and some appropriate words came to me. Below is the comment I left on his post.
• • •
Thanks for your assessment of this mess, Paul. The initial verbal assault against Dr. Danielle Lee by Ofek was unspeakable. Scientific American's removal of her post made the injury worse for her (and many others, obviously) because it bespoke betrayal and disregard for the racism and sexism at issue. Knowing Mariette and the others at Scientific American as I do, I don't believe for a moment that was their intention, or even an unconscious motive at work. But that's a personal perspective I can't expect others to share, and I don't offer it to contradict others' experience of what happened as racist and sexist.
I also agree that SciAm's failures to explain what it was doing, correct the record, and apologize adequately is the biggest cause of its woes at this point. When I read Mariette's full statement, I see her trying to own the responsibility for those mistakes, but it appears that's not how it has been received, so maybe I'm reading more into it than is on the page. Plenty of people have made the point already that being honest from the start would have been the best choice, and the unfolding of this debacle certainly underscores how true that is. Having been in the chair that Mariette now occupies, though, I can attest that being so candid in practice can be extremely hard to do.
Personally, I wish there were a little more sympathy and support being shown to Mariette during this, if not to SciAm. The sci-comm community can be wonderfully forgiving and encouraging of its own even when they have transgressed badly, and Mariette has a long record of generosity to others. But if people disagree or can't be otherwise now, Mariette will survive. She's one of the best science journalists, one of the best executives, and one of the best people I've had the honor to work with.
I will disagree with you on one point, Paul, where you suppose that SciAm didn't seek legal advice before taking down Dr. Lee's post. From my experiences there, I am completely certain that lawyers were consulted and that the insistence that the post come down immediately came from them. I'm equally sure they would have insisted that any initial statement about why it came down should not mention legal concerns: in any lawsuit that might follow, that statement could be used as an admission of negligence in allowing a damaging post on the site in the first place. Or so they would argue, anyway.
The reason I say this with the certainty that I do is that I have had those same lawyers make the same insistent recommendations to me in analogous situations.
Some people have dismissed the idea that anything in Dr. Lee's post could have been legally risky because she was showing screen caps of the emails, so their factuality was not in doubt. That's true, but it's not necessarily the full legal story, and I don't know whether any of Mariette's statements about the lawyers' concerns reflected all of [those concerns]. For example—and I'm really surprised that so many journalists seem to be unaware of this—you cannot necessarily publish your correspondence with someone, particularly with the intention of holding that person up for criticism or ridicule, if he or she had a reasonable expectation that the communication was private. In such cases, the truth is specifically not a defense against charges of defamation.
I'm not saying these objections are the last legal word on the subject. (And to be even more clear, I'm not accusing Dr. Lee of having done anything wrong.) But they show that legal opinions on these matters can get complicated and that lawyers could easily make a case for taking down the post.
Whatever the legal advice might have been, it doesn't explain or excuse all the mistakes SciAm made in removing the post, being evasive about the reasons, and then being less than fully forthcoming afterward. I'm hopeful that SciAm will have learned from this dreadful experience—indeed, that the whole ugly business will have opened many people's eyes to truths about racism and sexism, and to the importance of owning up to mistakes promptly. Most especially, I wish the best for Dr. Lee and her desire to help make more of us aware of the curses of prejudice and the blessings of diversity.
