I've been talking about tomatoes – tomatoes and the media, my funny/strange ways with tomatoes, and a series of tomato salads that keep these fruit in the spotlight (and away from my greens!). And why not? It's been quite warm of late (typhoons then this heat…the weather is leaving me befuddled) and the tomatoes are almost jumping of their own accord into my market bag, so I think it's apt that I post about my tomato salads.
As I said in my last post, I like my tomatoes in salads of their own, away from my greens, and of fairly simple preparation. If I've found really excellent tomatoes, or if I'm hungry and can't be bothered to prepare anything that requires utensils or washing up, then I just have tomatoes with salt. Effortless and unbelievably delicious…it also brings back fond memories of the days before I could cook 😉 My Tomato Salad 1 is just a small step up from this 🙂
If I have a whole bunch of tomatoes that needs to be used up right away, or if the mood strikes me, I slow-roast them in my oven. This method is also good with less than stellar tomatoes as it concentrates the sugars in particular and the flavor in general. It is also cheaper to do this than to buy fancy (and imported) bottled sun-dried tomatoes. You can also control how dry you'd like your tomatoes…I prefer mine semi-dried, with a little "meat" still on them.
And then I have my second tomato salad to trot out…
Tomato Salad 2
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes (or other tomatoes of your preference – different sizes and colors are good — of roughly the same volume)
- 1 small red onion
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Balsamic vinegar
- Sea salt
- Freshly cracked black pepper
– Slice tomatoes: no rules here – slice them as haphazardly or as uniform as you'd like. For these cherry tomatoes I left the smallest ones whole and sliced the majority in half…for the biggest ones I cut them in quarters.
– Slice the onion into thin half moons – as thin as you can manage.
– Toss onions and tomatoes together and dress with a couple of good glugs of olive oil and some dashes balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle with sea salt (as good a finishing salt as you have – and don't be shy about it) and freshly cracked black pepper. I always do this to taste but if you want a guide just use 3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar, toss, taste, and adjust. Toss carefully…you don't want battered tomatoes!
This is another way I like my tomatoes – with onions. Good and proper, breath-busting, red onions. Held together with sweet balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper (lots!) this salad is not shy with its flavour. It's wonderful with anything grilled or fried…though we've had it with everything from roast chicken to adobo and it goes splendidly with those too.
For this salad I use any nice or interesting tomatoes that come my way. I'll get different kinds, shapes, sizes, colors (I sometimes like to add some green tomatoes here) and cut them up into random chunks (just trying to remain in the vicinity of the same size). I used cherry tomatoes in this particular one because I came across some cute specimens in the market 🙂 So don't limit yourself! Feel free to grab what looks good to you. Some also prefer to "de-fang" their onions by soaking them in water and salt (then rinsing and draining) to remove some of the bite, but it's exactly that raw-onion-bite against the sweet tomatoes that I love in this salad, just make sure you slice them as thin as you can.
More tomato salad coming soon! Happy weekend everyone 🙂

Vietnam territory is located in the tropical climate zone with over 3,200 km long coastline. Therefore, there is great potential for renewable energy development. The available renewable energy sources in Vietnam are: solar energy, wind energy, biological energy, hydropower and energy from the sea.
Vietnam has great potential for hydroelectric power, with total theoretical capacity of about 35 GW, the technical potential is about 26 GW, annually it can produce more than 100 GWh; in which the small hydropower (the installed machine capacity <30 MW) has the potential to produce about 15-20 GWh of electricity.
Until 2013, the total number of projects have been put into operation is 268 projects, with a total installed machine capacity of 14,240.5 MW. As planned, until 2017, there will be 473 projects will be put into operation with a total installed machine capacity of 21,229.3 MW. In addition, according to the Electricity Corporation of Vietnam, the potential of small hydropower has installed machine capacity of about 4,000 MW.
In a report of the World Bank in 2001, the wind energy potential of Vietnam is estimated at 512 GW, much higher compared to other countries such as Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
Vietnam has great potential for solar energy, particularly in the Central and South of the country, with the average intensity of solar radiation of about 5 kWh/m2. The total theoretical potential of solar energy in Vietnam is estimated at 43.9 billion TOE (TOE – tons of oil equivalent).
With the advantage of being an agricultural country, Vietnam has a large and diverse biomass sources, including wood, firewood, rice husk, rice straw, sugarcane bagasse and other kind of agricultural residues. Annually, Vietnam is estimated to have over 60 million tons of biomass from agricultural waste. The biomass energy sources mentioned above can be used to produce bio-fuel (ethanol), fuel pellet, biogas and various other products.
Vietnam livestock industry is now quite developed, released to the environment annually a large amount of livestock waste in the form of solid and liquid.
According to the statistic data from national environmental status by 2014, the amount of solid waste from livestock in 2013 in Vietnam includes: 18.5 million tons from raising cows, 13.8 million tons from raising buffalo, 18.9 million tons from raising pig, 22.6 million tons from raising poultry. Part of livestock waste in rural area of Vietnam provides raw material for more than half a million active biogas in three regions of the country.
With a population of nearly 90 million people, the annually amount of domestic waste generated due to activities of the population is very huge. Domestic waste after being collected and classified can be recycled, reused and recovered energy from waste incineration or landfills.

Distro wars :-) Jon, if I may be permitted to play the Devils Advocate this morning, any "cluster distro" jsut has the same packages as any other server distro. Kernel, init scripts, ssh daemon, ntp, blah de blah de blah. The 'secret sauce' is in the HPC stack. This consists of the drivers for any high performance interconnect, the libraries for the HPC interconnect, the MPI libraries, the high performance compilers, the maths libraries, the batch shceduler and finally the applications on top. In many cases the above are not packaged as RPMs (sorry - showing which side of the fence I come from). As an aside, all credit should be due here to Pathscale/Qlogic for superbly packaging kernel modules and libraries for Infinipath, enabling you to create a working MPI setup with little more than an 'rpm install' command. Top marks. To create this Debian based cluster distribution you're going to have to package the above software types - and if anyone is going to actually use it, they'll be looking at the most recent versions also. Quite often in a distribution you will find an RPM for (say) LAMMPI or Gridengine - but they're seriously out of date. Let the debate begin.

Pont Aven photos and travel guide of our visit to this town in Finistere Brittany. The town is 11 miles from the fishing village of Doelan. It is about 10 miles from the town of Concarneau where we were staying
Pont Aven is a very attractive town on the river Aven the river divides the town in two.We had followed the river from the coast near the fishing port of Doelan.Pont Aven is about 10 miles from the coast.We visited in September so the town was not as busy as it would be in July or August.We found a nice spot to park right next to the river. On the Rue du Port about 200yds from the town centre.
The river is very clean and fast flowing it used to have several working watermills. The mills are still there there but do not have there wheels anymore.That is apart from one which is now a restaurant.The town has a good selection of shops and restaurants and art galleries.We found a good poster shop with some reasonable priced poster of Pont Aven and the surrounding towns. We bought several I still have not got round to getting them framed but I will

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Georgia College cross country program and head coach Joe Samprone are set to run at its biggest event of the season, Saturday at the NCAA Southeast Regional hosted by Queens University.
The GC men have been led by Tyler Mattix (Snellville, Ga.) and Dan Horseman (Cohutta, Ga.) all season long, and will look to improve upon an ninth place finish among the 25 teams in 2010. GC sends five senior men to the event, including the two-time All-PBC honorees in Mattix and Horseman.
The Bobcat women are paced by sophomore Allison Lones (Kathleen, Ga.) and senior Victoria Dobson (New Hamburg, Ontario). Lones earned her second career All-PBC honor in as many seasons two weeks ago, and has led GC in 12 straight races. Dobson has been a stalwart for GC for four seasons, and looks to provide the times needed to improve upon last year's ninth place finish among the 28 teams in the race.
The women's 6K begins at 10 a.m., with the men's 10K immediately following. Visit the Queens University web site at http://www.queensathletics.com/sports/2011/10/13/gen_1013114515.aspx?path=mcross for more details.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Napoleon Gladney is no stranger to wearing several hats.
A tree, emotions, the wind, a prince, a vampire, and even music notes — these are just a few roles that the Los Angeles-based professional dancer has enacted.
Now, as part of the ensemble of the popular Broadway musical "Wicked: The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz," Gladney plays multiple parts in the same production, spinning in and out of gear as a student, towns person and flying monkey.
"'Wicked's' music, costumes, light and scenery are all phenomenal and can stand on their own," Gladney, 25, said. "And so, when you put everything together, it forms a great story with underlying ideas of friendship, first impressions, not judging people, the concept of good versus evil and questioning authority.
"There are several different themes that can be pulled from 'Wicked,' which I think speak to people individually, allowing every audience member to have a unique experience."
The production is coming to the Segerstrom Hall next week for its third engagement. The show's earlier runs in 2006 and 2011 were greeted by nearly full houses.
"'Wicked' is a story with a big heart," said center President Terry Dwyer. "First off, there is a really clear and compelling story at the core of it. The music is delightful, and the roles are great for standout performers. Our audiences found it thrilling and responded to it with tremendous enthusiasm."
"Wicked" is based on the 1995 Gregory Maguire novel "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, the play centers on the friendship of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch of the North.
Trained in choreography and ballet, jazz, modern, hip hop, contemporary and African dance, Gladney, who recalls always being on the move even as a child, joined the company in 2010.
"Anything I could see, whether it was a music video or ice-skating, I'd reenact the movements in my living room and backyard," Gladney said. "Even as a 5-year-old child, I demonstrated a deep love for dance."
"Dancing is a fantastic art form that allows me to express myself and tell a story using my body," said Gladney, who draws inspiration from master choreographer Alvin Ailey. "The training that goes into being a dancer and the work that you put into it is very unique, because that is what and who you are all the time."
The time spent with the "Wicked" team has instilled in him the importance of staying in tune with the "present moment."
"Being in the now and enjoying the current moment that you are having with the people that surround you and being able to revel in the choices that you've made is so powerful," said Gladney, whose quirky personality is also reflected through his fascination with shoes. Currently, he has 17 pairs of shoes — a colorful and stylistic kaleidoscope — tucked away among his belongings.
The Segerstrom Center has not only been a venue for Gladney to teach and attend dance classes, but was also where another member of the "Wicked" cast, Brenda Hamilton, was influenced by plays at what was then called the Orange County Performing Arts Center.
"When I was a little girl, my parents took me to see shows [there]," Hamilton said. "Every time I went to the theater, I dreamed of being up on that stage."
After launching her career as a 16-year-old in a "Hercules" parade in Disneyland, she has been part of the ensemble of shows such as "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels," "A Chorus Line," "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and "Some Like It Hot." A stickler for warming up vocally and physically for about a half hour before going on stage, she will also serve as the understudy for Nessarose, Elphaba's physically disabled younger sister.
"I love telling stories through characters," said Hamilton, who dreams of one day acting as Fantine in "Les Miserables." "When the story is too important to be spoken, it is sung; when there are no words, the story is told through dance. I love the heightened reality that characters live in."
Hooked on being onstage since her first ballet performance when she was four, Hamilton said her dreams are "unchartered," but always big.
Gladney is similarly ambitious but plans to end his "Wicked" whirlwind March 10 — a poetic coming full circle close to home, since his mother lives in Costa Mesa.
"I'm ready for a change," he said. "I'm ready to have an apartment again. I'm ready to get my stuff out of boxes and storage and to stop living out of a suitcase for a second. I'm looking forward to a bit of normalcy, as well as new projects."

Strap for pasturage 08 cm made from high quality leather
ORO buckle
Incl. adhere and saddle
Buckle sewed by hand
Personalize your personal bell strap
Combine your personal strap with an individual inscription on a plaque. The corresponding article can be found under inscriptions
Ideal for use on pasture
The wire buckle has been developed for use on pasture. The bell strap can be easily and simply pulled through the buckle, this allows a quick donning and pulling off the bell and the bell straps are thus the ORO straps are the first choice for use bells on pasturage.
The straps are made from genuine stuffed leather and the edges of the bell strap are broken and rounded to ensure optimal comfort for your animals. The bell straps are vegetable-tanned, which is optimal for your animals, as this tanning method usually counteracts any allergies associated with straps.
With good care and with correspondingly high-quality leather oil, you can use the bell straps on pasture for many years. Leather straps are insensitive to UV light, unlike nylon straps.
Safety for your animals
Another advantage of leather straps over nylon is that no sharp particles enter the stomach of the animals when they eat parts of the straps. Thus, a high quality leather strap is still the best and safest for your pets.
Environmental Protection
The topic of environmental protection is increasingly important nowadays. Leather is a natural product that is 100% biodegradable. The strap buckles are made of metal, which can be supplied to the metal recycling for recycling. Bell straps are thus at the forefront of sustainability and environmental protection.

We provide handmade custom prosthetic breastforms that are knitted and/or crocheted. Our breast forms are made by volunteers and are provided at no cost to anyone who has had a mastectomy or lumpectomy. Our generous volunteers buy the yarn, lovingly donate their time to produce beautiful custom forms, and pay the shipping costs. We do not accept monetary donations. All we ask is that recipients share our website information with others who may need our beautiful and truly awesome breastforms.
Only the highest quality 100% cotton fiber yarn is used, which is cooler, lighter and much more comfortable than traditional silicone prosthetics. There are color options available and recipients may choose a breastform with or without nipples.

We provide, free of charge, support groups, educational workshops that provide learning opportunities and and mind and body classes help rebuild strength and reduce the high level of stress that comes with a cancer diagnosis to cancer patients, their caregivers and survivors.
Our programs are available to anyone affected by cancer regardless of the cancer diagnosis, stage of disease, age, economic status , race, religion, sex or where they receive/received their medical care. We do not provide medical treatment or advice.

Hello Community,October 11th will mark 2 years since my stage 2B breast cancer diagnosis. In the last year I've spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of survivor I want to be and putting my professional experience as a researcher/writer and yoga teacher to work developing strategies to prevent a reoccurrence and deal with the fall out from chemo, radiation, surgery, lymphodema, and reconstruction. I started a blog to help myself stay on track and provide a resource for other survivors. I would be so honored to hear what other survivors thought about it. Please visit and comment if you can and pass on to anyone else you think it might help. I'm sure many of you can understand how much the project means to me. I had such a hard time finding resources that were valid, geared towards a younger audience, and didn't upset me once I got to the other side of treatment and really dove in. The resource I've tride to create is my solution to that. The blog web address is carefuljoyful.com the blog is called My Careful, Joyful Life...after cancer.
Come meet us! We are 5, 8, 10+ year long-term cancer survivors. Nobody in the world understands better than we do - where you are & what you need. Learn from long-term survivors. If we can do it, so can you!
Long-term cancer survivors (LTCS) mystify the medical profession because they don't know how to duplicate the results.
Motivational theory behind our group - On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile. That meant he ran 1,760 yards in under 4 minutes. Prior to that date, for thousands of years, people tried to push themselves to run as fast as possible. Experts suggested that the human body had limitations; that we had found the limits of the body and could not expect to achieve a 4 minute mile. Yet, in 1940 the mile record was set and held at 4:01 for nine years...until Bannister came along. Once Bannister broke the 4 minute mile, others began to run under 4 minutes as well. Bannister held the record for only 46 days. Today it is common place for professional runners to run a mile under 4 minutes. What happened to the expert's theory of our body's limitations?
So here's the deal, since others have survived a high risk and at times a late stage cancer such as ovarian cancer, could we begin to look at their examples of survival as our own possibility? Could we begin to make survival as commonplace as breaking the 4 minute mile? Would you agree that the simple act of observing and interacting with long-term survivors is worth a try? If you were faced with the grim statistics of cancer, would you want to know that someone has overcome these grim statistics? Don't you want to become a stat-buster by outliving cancer?
We meet monthly, 4th Wednesday of each month, at a tea house, Zen Tea in Chamblee, Georgia and we are making things happen to grow to more locations too! This group is different than anything that has ever been done before...it's all about long-term survivors - letting all cancer patients know and see that long-term cancer survivors do exist. Our motto is "If we can do it, then so can you."
Cervical Cancer Survivor Stories and Information
Smart Patients is a website where cancer patients and caregivers can learn from each other about treatments, clinical trials, the latest science, and how it all fits into the context of their experience. At Smart Patients, the term "patients" includes family members and friends, patient advocates, and survivors who use the website on behalf of patients. They are all part of the patient community.
It is currently focusing on cancer, because patients with different cancers can learn a lot from each other, especially when they are taking similar drugs, have similar complications, etc. Cancer, treatments and side effects, where to find help, how to cope with disease, clinical trials, research into disease and treatments, prevention, recurrence, end of life, grieving, and related topics are all important topics members can help each other with.

With 11 months to go before the next Election Day, the battle of the bumper stickers has begun, and I'm already fed up.
Last week, I was driving behind a work truck on Route 1 in Biddeford when I spotted a small sticker on its back window. "Keep Calm and Vote Cutler," it read, with the green silhouette of a pine tree where the crown was on the original World War II-era British propaganda poster. God save the Queen — and while you're at it, Lord, save us Mainers from this banality.
Last year's most dubious sticker was produced by Angus King's campaign. It's the one that appropriates Moxie's "distinctively different" white-and-blue font and bright orange background, with King's mug replacing the pointing Moxie Boy's face. Though it had the potential to be that rare bumper sticker that's cooler than the candidate, the white suit coat and black tie combined with King's white hair and mustache made the candidate look more like Colonel Sanders.
Cutler's new sticker got me wondering what other stock phrases could be co-opted by political machines in the coming year. The whole "My [insert dog breed] Is Smarter Than Your Honor Student" series is ripe for exploitation: "My Pitbull Is Nicer Than My Governor," "My Brown Dog Is More Loyal To Core Democratic Party Principles Than Your Blue Dog," etc.
Here are a few that could work for either the Cutler or Michaud teams: "If Your Child Can Read This, Don't Thank LePage," "Mean Governors Suck," "Question Reality — Vote Republican" and "I Believe The Liberal Media."
LePage supporters can promote the governor's record on environmental issues with this clever twist on the famous kale slogan: "Eat More Greens." Or they could just rip off Cutler's ripoff: "Get Enraged and Vote LePage."
A lot of disgruntled Dems and independents have been sporting the "61%" stickers on their vehicles for the past three years, a reference to the percentage of voters who did not vote for LePage in 2010. But, of course, Cutler garnered even less support in that election, giving Democrats and Republicans the opportunity to display this stinging rebuke: "63.5%."
Savvy political operatives know the power of projecting guilt by association. I'll be waiting for some wag to surreptitiously slap this sticker on the bumper of Sen. Susan Collins' vehicle next year: "I Brake for Tea Parties." And for another wag to tag Rep. Chellie Pingree's ride with, "My Other Car Is A Private Jet." There's also the ever-popular, "I'd Rather Be Fishing, But Pingree And The National Marine Fisheries Service Won't Let Me."
Michaud's blue-collar supporters can call attention to a rival's obscene wealth with this winner: "Butlers for Cutler."
You can cost any candidate some votes by placing their propaganda on your bumper between two New York Yankees stickers and beneath a window decal depicting Calvin urinating on an American flag. (Just don't attempt to drive this vehicle north of Augusta.)
Here's one I expect to see in Bath soon: "It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need and BIW has to hold a bake sale to pay for its shipyard expansion."
What Mainer can't relate to this gem? "My Other Car Isn't Inspected Either." Or how about, "Follow Me: To A New Hampshire Liquor Store"? In Portland, there's, "This Car Climbed Munjoy Hill — And Got Towed Off During The Parking Ban."
But back to politics. The race to fill Michaud's seat in the 2nd Congressional District has the potential to inspire some zingers: "Get Some Action, Vote Troy Jackson" turns LePage's "Vaseline" comment to the candidate's advantage. And his rival Emily Cain can deflect anti-Augusta sentiment with "Don't Blame It On Cain."
The Sugarloaf crowd can delight in this classic put-down of a Republican contender: "Bruce Poliquin Skis In Jeans."
I've never put a political bumper sticker on my car, but I'd strongly consider affixing this one if someone printed some up: "If Moody Runs Again, Ram Me Here!"

If you suffer from debilitating pain in your knee, you know how much it can limit your movement and ability to perform every day activities. You may even have pain that interrupts your sleep. You may experience swelling and stiffness, and your knee may be warm to the touch.
In general, severe knee damage that results from arthritis or injury is initially treated with exercise, self-help devices such as knee braces or orthotics, over-the-counter medications such as NSAIDs, vitamin and herbal supplements, steroid injections or some combination of these. In some cases, your physician may perform arthroscopy. When these treatments no longer offer pain relief, you may begin to consider having a knee replacement.
To help determine if you are a candidate for knee replacement surgery, your physician may use diagnostic tests to determine the location and severity of damage in your knee joint. In range-of-motion testing, the physician measures the amount of movement your knee has in a specific direction, and compares this to normal ranges. Restrictions in the range of motion indicate some type of dysfunction. Other tests, such as x-rays and MRIs, produce images of the internal structures of your knee that your physician can review.
With the joint replacement program at Baptist, patient education and support begins at the time the surgery is scheduled, and continues through the hospital stay and the recovery process at home. The patient's family members and primary care physician- or hospitalist on staff at Baptist - are involved in the patient's care from pre-admission through discharge. This constant communication contributes to quality care and good patient experiences, which are our priority at Baptist.
The first step in having knee replacement surgery at Baptist is being seen by one of our physicians. All orthopedic surgeons on staff at Baptist are board certified, and many have sub-specialty training within the field of orthopedic surgery. Each year, our physicians perform more than 1,100 joint replacement surgeries.
At Baptist, orthopedic surgeons may use a computer navigated system to help pinpoint alignment for knee and hip replacements, and more recently, hip resurfacing procedures. Like global position systems (GPS) help drivers arrive at exact destinations in the world, the computer-assisted surgical system helps surgeons align the patient's bones and replacement implants with a degree of accuracy not possible with the naked eye or traditional instrumentation. Research has proven that with the assistance of computer navigation, the procedure is less invasive and the overall alignment of the joint is better than when traditional instruments are used alone.
During a total knee replacement, an orthopedic surgeon removes all the damaged cartilage and bone of the knee joint, and then positions the new metal and plastic surfaces joint of a prosthetic knee joint to restore the alignment and function of your knee. The procedure itself takes approximately two hours.
Many different types of designs and materials are currently used in prosthetic knee joints for total knee replacement surgery. Almost all of these consist of three components:
The knee joint has three compartments: the inner (medial) compartment, the outer (lateral) compartment, and the kneecap (patellofemoral) compartment. If knee damage is limited to either the medial or lateral compartment, that compartment may be replaced with a partial (or unilateral) knee implant.
Partial knee replacement is a viable alternative in limited situations. If two or more compartments are damaged, partial knee replacement may not be the best option. Partial knee replacement is also less desirable for a young, active person because it may not withstand the extremes of stress that high levels of activity create. Only between 6 and 8 out of 100 patients with arthritic knees are good candidates for partial knee replacement.
Some patients may be candidates for knee replacement surgery using minimally invasive techniques. In this type procedure, the incisions are approximately half the size of those used in a standard approach. The smaller incisions and new techniques to expose the joint may result in short-term advantages such as a quicker rehabilitation, less pain, and a shorter hospitalization.
The minimally invasive approach to the total knee replacement is appropriate for non-obese patients who have reasonable motion without significant deformity. Hospitalization may be reduced to 1 to 3 days among these patients, and the need for an extended stay for inpatient rehabilitation may be reduced or eliminated in most patients.
Baptist's Joint Replacement program focuses on pain management, recovery and an early return to normal activities. To help control pain after surgery, an optional, but recommended, anesthesia-administered nerve block is available prior to surgery. For the first 24 hours following surgery, most patients are on pain medication delivered via IV. After that point, if possible, most patients are transitioned to oral pain medications. In all cases, pain medication is individualized for each patient to minimize discomfort.
Most patients can expect recovery from knee replacement surgery to last from six to eight weeks. At Baptist, recovery begins right away with group inpatient rehab, held on the Joint Replacement Unit. Therapists get patients up and moving as soon as possible to promote healing as blood flow to the knee is increased, and to restore movement.

I was wondering what "profile" means in Wikipedia:
XML is a profile of an ISO standard SGML, and most of XML comes from SGML unchanged.
According to http://xml-tips.assistprogramming.com/sgml-xml-html-xhtml-all-together.html:
HTML is a subset of SGML.
XML is a highly functional subset of SGML.
XHTML extends and subsets HTML.
Does "one being a subset of another" mean that code in the first is also syntactically correct and semantically the same as in the second?
As in the sense of elementary set theory,
- are HTML, XML and XHTML all different subsets of SGML?
- do XML and HTML almost not intersect each other?
- is XHTML a superset of both XML and HTML?
- Can I expect some more concise and clear summation of the differences in the purposes of the four and/or when to use which, than the link above? I am really confused about the clear line between their intended purposes.
According to http://xml-tips.assistprogramming.com/sgml-xml-html-xhtml-all-together.html:
XML is not a single Markup Language. It is a metalanguage to let users design their own markup language.
I was wondering how to understand XML and HTML are both subsets of SGML, but HTML is a markup language while XML is not a markup language but a metalanguage for designing markup languages?
Are SGML and XHTML both also metalanguage for designing markup language?
- As in both links mention that HTML is an applicaiton of SGML as well as a subset of SGML, and XHTML is an application of XML. I wonder what differences are between saying one language is an application of another, and one language is a subset of another?
Thanks and regards!

This Weekend in Sports: Baseball Playoffs, Garcia vs. Morales, and More
Major League Baseball's league championship series, a title fight and a clash of the AFC's best teams highlight this weekend's sports offerings. Here's what to watch this weekend:
[All times Eastern.]
Friday, Oct. 19
NLCS Game 5 — San Francisco Giants at St. Louis Cardinals
Busch Stadium, St. Louis; 8:07 p.m. on Fox
With a 2 games to 1 edge in the National League Championship Series after Wednesday's 3-1 win at home, the St. Louis Cardinals could potentially be in position to advance to their second consecutive World Series on Friday. Barry Zito is scheduled to start for the Giants, while Lance Lynn will take the mound for the Cardinals.
WNBA Finals Game 3 — Minnesota Lynx vs. Indiana Fever
Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis; 8 p.m. on ESPN2
The Minnesota Lynx and Indiana Fever are tied at one game apiece in the best-of-five WNBA Finals. The series will shift to Indianapolis for two games starting Friday. The defending champion Lynx will need to win at least one game on the road to repeat in 2012. Tamika Catchings leads the Fever, while All-WNBA player Seimone Augustus drives Minnesota.
Saturday, Oct. 20
(6) LSU at (20) Texas A&M
Kyle Field, College Station, Tex. ; 12 p.m. on ESPN
Sixth-ranked LSU (6-1, SEC: 2-1) tries to maintain momentum after handing South Carolina its first loss last week. The Tigers must find a way to stop quarterback Johnny Manziel and an Aggies' offense that put up 59 points in a win over a ranked Louisiana Tech team last week. Twentieth-ranked Texas A&M (5-1, SEC: 2-1) will try to confuse LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger, who has struggled at times in 2012.
(9) South Carolina at (3) Florida
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, Gainesville, Fla. ; 3:30 p.m. on CBS
Coming off its first loss of the season last week to LSU, ninth-ranked South Carolina (6-1, SEC: 4-1) doesn't get a break. The Gamecocks hope star running back Marcus Lattimore will recover from a bruised hip fast enough to play against the Gators. Third-ranked Florida (6-0, SEC: 5-0) is led by quarterback Jeff Driskel, who must be mindful of South Carolina All-American candidate Jadeveon Clowney.
(4) Kansas St. at (17) West Virginia
Mountaineer Field, Morgantown, WV; 7 p.m. on Fox
If No. 17 West Virginia (5-1, Big 12: 2-1) hadn't been upset by Texas Tech last week, this would have been a battle of Top 10 teams. The Mountaineers are led by quarterback Geno Smith on offense, but it's their defense that has been shaky. Fourth-ranked Kansas St. (6-0, Big 12: 3-0) hopes that quarterback Collin Klein can pile up yardage to help give the Wildcats the victory.
Danny Garcia vs. Erik Morales
Barclay Center; Brooklyn, N.Y. 8 p.m. on Showtime
Undefeated junior welterweight champ Danny Garcia will fight challenger Erik Morales with the Ring, WBC and WBA titles at stake. The fight is a rematch of their March bout, which Garcia won by unanimous decision.
Sunday, Oct. 21
Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans — 1 PM
Reliant Stadium, Houston; 1 p.m. on CBS
Baltimore (5-1) has been fueled by its offense instead of its defense thus far this season. Ravens' quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice will face a Texans' defense that looked lost against the Packers last week. Running back Arian Foster leads the Houston (5-1) offense against a Baltimore defense that will be missing linebacker Ray Lewis and cornerback Lardarius Webb, both of whom are out for the season with injuries.
Hollywood Casino 400
Kansas Speedway, Kansas City, Kan.; 2:16 p.m. on ESPN
The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is down to its last five races. Driver Brad Keselowski is in first place in the Sprint Cup standings, while second-ranked Jimmie Johnson, who won this race in 2011, trails by just seven points. Third-ranked Denny Hamlin is 15 points out of the lead.
NLCS Game 6: St. Louis Cardinals at San Francisco Giants *
AT&T Park, San Francisco; 4:37 p.m.on Fox
If necessary, the Cardinals and Giants will play Game 6 of the NLCS in San Francisco on Sunday night. The scheduled starters — Chris Carpenter for St. Louis and Ryan Vogelsong for San Francisco — are a rematch of Game 2's pitchers. * if necessary
Game 4 WNBA Finals — Minnesota Lynx vs. Indiana Fever
Bankers Life Fieldhouse, Indianapolis; 8 p.m. on ESPN2
The loser of Friday's Game 3 will be facing elimination as the two best teams in the WNBA meet to decide a champion.
Pittsburgh Steelers at Cincinnati Bengals
Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati; 8:20 p.m. on NBC
Pittsburgh (2-3) operates its offense through quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who must avoid a Bengals' defense that ranks second in the league with 20 sacks. Receiver A.J. Green is the offensive star for Cincinnati (3-3). He must find ways to contribute against a Steelers' pass defense that ranks fourth in the NFL.

The Watch Later YouTube playlist is unusable when you have thousands of items on it:
• Lag (When I want to go to the last page I need to load EVERY page.)
• Inaccuracies (It says deleted videos were removed from the list but they are still there. Every time... Also, I don't want to lose deleted videos. Ever. I can still Google their ID, figure out their title from cached pages, and then find a backup elsewhere, or a reupload.)
• Crippled UI (To delete one video I have to: Hover over an item, wait hundreds of milliseconds for the control buttons to show up, _carefully_ click delete. If I accidentally click anywhere on the video tile instead; I have to go back and painstakingly click "next page" ten times to reach video # 1000+ Did I mention it lags?)
• Lack of better paging: I only care about the oldest (FILO) and the most recent (FIFO) items, usually.
• No filtering, and no option to mass delete items with checkboxes. (All I get is the option to delete everything, which would suck.)
• Missing "Remove Watched" button. I have no idea why it comes and goes sometimes. Mostly it is gone though. I've had it appear recently. A curious case...
• "Remove Watched" does not remove all watched videos, only a few dozen. There are still hundreds of already seen items on the list that I have to delete manually. One by one. (I wish once I've seen a video it was automatically removed from WL. Again, the "Remove Watched" button is not working.)
• Inefficient: To display 1000 videos, Google uses over 33000 lines of HTML code, and more than 10 megabytes of bandwidth. (Only half of which is thumbnails.) That's 5MB HTML code, or 5 million characters. Plus all the externally sourced files.

Pretzel Pete Pearls Now Available in Three Asian-Themed Seasonings
Lansdale, Pa.-based SB Global Foods Inc. launches three flavors of Pretzel Pete Pearls, small, round-shaped pretzel balls flavored with Asian-themed seasonings and packed in 4.5-oz bags. Intriguing flavors include Wasabi, Szechuan and Coconut Curry-seasoned.
"Pretzel Pete Pearls represent the first full product line that combines a traditional U.S. snack base (pretzel) with popular Asian-flavors," says President Karl Brown.
SB Global expects to leverage off major demographic and cultural trends including the expanding palette of mainstream America to include Asian flavors and cuisine, the steady growth of the Asian-American population within the U.S., and the ongoing demand for new and bolder taste profiles.

Suggested retail price for the 4.5oz bags is $1.99 to $2.99.

Francona calls beer ban a 'PR move'
Former Red Sox manager Terry Francona said on a radio show this morning that the team banning alcohol in the clubhouse was "a PR move."
Francona was on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" show when he was asked about the new rule. On Francona's watch, several Red Sox pitchers were drinking in the clubhouse during games last season.
"I think it's a PR move," Francona said. "I think if a guy wants a beer, he can probably get one. You know, it's kind of the old rule … If your coach in football says no hard liquor on the plane — I mean, you serve beer and wine — somebody's going to sneak liquor on the plane. If you furnish a little bit, it almost keeps it to a minimum.
"I don't think it's a surprise that they put this in effect, or the fact they announced it. It's probably more of a PR move just because, you know, the Red Sox (took) such a beating at the end of the year."

Recap: Heather Hendricks
Captions: Laura Austin
The month of March may have come in like a lamb, but it went out like a lion for the third day of Ms Superpark 7 presented by Gatorade at Keystone Resort.
'Ms SuperPow' as it's been coined by some, experienced another day of erratic Colorado weather. The morning session was hampered by intense fog and snow which made visibility minimal at best. Since it wasn't the most ideal weather for shredding park, some of the girls ventured to Keystone's Outback and tapped into the foot of fresh that had fallen over night.
During the afternoon session, the snow stopped and the sun tried to poke it's head out of the thick grey skies. The little hints of light brightened everyone's spirits and created an atmosphere that was all about having fun and getting creative.
We caught up with some of the girls in between runs for their insight into Day 3 of Ms Superpark 7. Check out what they had to say-
Spencer O'Brien:
My favorite part about Superpark is all of the girls coming together to ride. It's like the only time of year when all the film girls and the contest girls get to shred together, and this is the best Superpark setup we've ever had- the jumps are great. We haven't had the best weather but everyone is having fun and it's super good.
My favorite feature is probably the pole jam to whales tail. I think it's super creative and really well built. Other than that the triple line is super good, and I'm really hoping that tomorrow we get to shoot on it.
Day 3 Standouts: Raewyn Reid on the up to flat. I just saw her do 50/50 frontboard pretzel out which was pretty sick.
Kjersti Buaas:
My favorite part about Superpark is that all the girls come here and it's really creative and everyone just hits whatever feature that suits them best. It's nice to see so much individuality and style come out. That makes me happy.
Favorite Feature: I actually don't know yet because I haven't hit everything yet. I've been sick for like ten days, so this is my first day here and I'm just cruising around. I think the jumps look so sick and that butterpad looks really good. So tomorrow, when the sun comes out, it'll be good.
Day 3 Standouts: Jamie did some sick stuff on the rails and me and Chanelle have been riding the hip with the basketball hoop, I really like it. It's kind of small and flat landing, but it's super fun. It was better than expected today. There's a lot of good riders here. Lot of good style here too.
Robin Van Gyn:
Best part of Superpark: I think it's seeing everybody at one venue. I think that's the best part! I mean it's always awesome to ride a super sick park, but it's nice to see everybody.
Favorite Feature: Whales tail. Hands Down. Cannon to Whales tail for sure.
Day 3 Standouts: I saw Leanne do a pillow line, that was rad.
Jamie Anderson:
Superpark is great! To come out here and have a private park, get all the girls together to session, have fun, ride some cool features and learn some new tricks. It's a good little spring session.
Day 3 Standouts: I saw some girl try and do a front 3 to tap and she broke the tap. It was pretty funny and awesome.
Megan Whiteside:
Best part of Superpark: Riding with everyone. That's been my favorite part, having everyone at the same place and the same time.
Favorite Feature: Keystone always does a phenomenal job with their park, so everything is really on point and I'd say that my favorite feature is still that gap jump just cause it's big and different—-
Day 3 Standouts: I saw a girl take out the sign and then Kumara Kelley has been completely gapping the hip and going over the sign and sending it. I'm stoked for her.
Chanelle Sladics:
Super Duper Park! I think seeing all the girls is the best part because a lot of girls come out of the woods, out of the backcountry, out of the contests and come in from all angels, out of the urban city street rail scene, so you get a mix of many different colors and personalities here. Keystone went above and beyond in terms of creativity. It's the best Superpark I've been to, minus the weather.
Favorite Feature: I like the Gatorade up-rail and I'm hitting the hip right now. Everything is pretty fun. The jumps are going to be epic too, so that's going to be going down tomorrow.
Day 3 Standouts: I was having fun doing laps with Kjersti, hitting the first rail into the pow, then hitting the cat track and spinning out of that into powder. I was liking that line…. We got Izzy getting all sexual on these rails. And Raewyn did a sick frontboard pretzel out on the up-rail feature and Jamie just came out of nowhere and is slaying it like usual.
Lynn Neil:
My favorite part of Superpark is watching all the girls rip because I'm injured right now, so I can't hit the jumps but they look so sweet and the Whalestail feature is sick. I think that's my favorite feature.
Standout Today: I've haven't seen too much go down today except for on the hip. Nicki Slechta was going so big today and was tapping the sign. I think she went the biggest I've seen today.
Alice Gong:
Superpark is so much fun this year. If anything it's just having a great reunion with your friends that you don't get to see all year and its amazing having this energy and all of these girls around.
Favorite Feature: I like the lower tube and the hip with the sign tap, it's cool to get interactive with your features!
Day 3 Standouts: I'm following my girl Izzy into the gap on the left of the whales tail and I just saw her spin. I'm pretty inspired so I think I'm going to follow her into it on this run.
Ashley Thornton:
Best part of Superpark: So far hanging out with all the ripping girls that are out here and how amazing Keystone has set up the park for us. It's been snowing the whole time and they've made it a blast.
Favorite Feature: The whales tail would be my favorite feature. I haven't hit it since the first day, but tomorrow when the sun comes back out, that's what I'll be playing on.
The last day of Ms Superpark 7 presented by Gatorade goes down tomorrow at Keystone Resort. Fingers crossed for a sunny day that's sure to witness the most progressive riding yet.

China leadership transition formally edges forward
BEIJING (AP) -- China's leadership transition has formally edged ahead, with the executive body of the Communist Party Congress forwarding a list of names to congress delegates for review.
State media reported that the congress's presidium, 41 current and former members of the leadership, approved the candidate list for the Central Committee and sent it to the delegates on Saturday. The delegates will cast votes before the congress closes Wednesday to choose the Central Committee, a roughly 350-member body.
The Central Committee, in turn, will select the top leadership.
The move is largely a formality, as is the congress itself. Deciding the lineup of leading bodies falls to a small group of power brokers.
Vice President Xi Jinping has been all but formally announced to replace President Hu Jintao as party chief and president.
China Central Television showed Hu addressing the meeting of the presidium, which was presided over by Xi.
Candidates for the Central Committee outnumber seats by only a small portion, giving the 2,268 congress delegates little choice except on the margins.
In addition to the name list for Central Committee members, the meeting also forwarded candidate lists for the party's internal watchdog agency, state media reported.

Making social and environmental issues a priority in your daily operations may not seem practical when turnaround times and finances are tight. But if you follow the lead of garment printers who have researched the effects of sweatshop labor, chemically treated cotton, and ecologically unfriendly inks, you may just change your mind.
What do you do when the economy is shaky and competition is on the rise? If you're like most, you focus on cutting costs. This approach is especially prevalent in the garment-printing industry, where the market is crowded to the point that many buyers consider T-shirt decoration a commodity. If customers perceive one company to be so similar to the next, what can garment screen printers do to attract customers and maintain profitability? Many opt to play the price game: produce garments as quickly and inexpensively as possible in trying to out-do the shop around the corner.
Basing business practices on the mindset that sales usually go to the company that offers the lowest price creates a race to the bottom -- meaning the first one to finish as the cheapest wins. Unfortunately, there are numerous consequences associated with conducting business in this fashion, many of which garments screen printers may not even be aware. The impact of this race-to-the-bottom mentality affects screen shops, their suppliers, and the end customers for decorated apparel.
Making price your sole consideration for sales has the obvious drawback of reduced quality in your products, but it also can inadvertently lead to labor abuses, damaging consequences for the environment and worker health, and a negative impact on the domestic economy. This article will focus on three major issues often overlooked by garment shops: the use of pesticides in cotton agriculture, the presence of sweatshop labor in the textile industry, and the effects of using plastisol (PVC-based) inks in garment screen printing. You'll also get information about alternatives and find out how some screen printers have made their operations more environmentally and socially sustainable.

It's fascinating to watch the video of the Metrodome collapse in Minneapolis–snow pours through the inflatable roof first in a shower, then in fireworks-like spurts, then in a wholesale dump.
The collapsed roof of the Metrodome is shown in this aerial view in Minneapolis on Sunday, Dec. 12, 2010. The inflatable roof of the Metrodome collapsed Sunday after a snowstorm that dumped 17 inches on Minneapolis. (AP Photo/Ann Heisenfelt)
True, a 17-inch snowstorm is nothing to laugh at, but domes have survived worse. The Louisiana Superdome leaked after Katrina hit New Orleans, but at least the whole roof didn't cave in.
Besides forcing the NFL to make a costly move (free tickets for the Vikings vs. Giants in Detroit Monday night!) and making everyone who has Adrian Peterson on their fantasy team wait to see if they will advance in the playoffs, the main effect of the blizzard in Minnesota is to make it even more obvious that the Vikings need a new stadium.
The team's lease in the aging facility ends next year, and Los Angeles interests have contacted the Vikings to gauge their interest in moving to that NFL-bereft metropolis.
In a recent poll, most Minnesota voters opposed spending taxpayer money on a new facility, though an unscientific Minneapolis Star-Tribune poll taken after the collapse could indicate a change in sentiment.
The Metrodome is a pretty bland place. The most memorable thing from my visit was getting blown out the door by the difference in pressure that keeps the roof inflated. Obviously, that difference isn't great enough.

A memorial to the men and women who served the United States during the Vietnam War will be the second addition to the Memory Walk along West North Broadway.
A memorial to the men and women who served the United States during the Vietnam War will be the second addition to the Memory Walk along West North Broadway.
The garden will be formally dedicated during a ceremony on Veterans Day, Sunday, Nov. 11. It will begin at 1 p.m. on the north side of West North Broadway between Milton Avenue and North High Street, said Clintonville Historical Society President Mary Rodgers.
"When we committed to bring Memory Lane back to Clintonville, we committed to doing at least 12 of these gardens, and so this is the second of those," Rodgers said. "It is the Vietnam Memorial Garden."
The original Memory Lane along the same stretch of road was dedicated in a ceremony May 30, 1947, sponsored by the Northern Kiwanis Club and funded by the Civic Improvement Group of the Clintonville Woman's Club. It initially was a memorial to those who lost their lives while serving their country during World War II. Seventy flowering crab trees were planted along the stretch of West North Broadway, each with a bronze marker listing the name, rank and branch of service of the individual being honored.
When West North Broadway was extended to Kenny Road, the trees came down and the plaques were moved to Union Cemetery.
In replacing Memory Lane with Memory Walk, historical society members obtained a Scott's Miracle-Gro Community Fund grant through the Columbus Foundation and also received donations from the Clintonville Woman's Club, the North High School Women's Alumni Association and neighborhood residents.
The first of the Memory Walk gardens, which remembers World War II veterans, was dedicated on Memorial Day of this year.
The second recognizes people involved in a more-recent conflict.
"At the event, we will recognize individuals who served in that war (Vietnam), some living and some passed away," Rodgers said.
She said last week she's uncertain how many living veterans will be on hand because she hears from more each day, either through phone calls or at the Clintonville Historical Society's Facebook page.
Vietnam War veterans, or those who know one, are invited to call Rodgers at 614-657-6854.
Bagpiper John McCullough will be on hand for the dedication event. A minister also will be present along with a singer/bugler, Rodgers said.
The ceremony should last 15 to 20 minutes, after which those attending will be invited to help plant hundreds of daffodils in the two gardens.
"I think it will be a nice event -- short and sweet," Rodgers said.
The third garden will include a welcome sign and will memorialize the performing arts in the neighborhood. It will incorporate an urn salvaged from the Clinton Theater before it was torn down.
