I'm sitting here at the airport. My flight starts boarding in an hour. #1's boards at 8pm. She is at her gate; I'm at mine. Why? I'm not exactly sure why. I guess, not being much of a flyer, I'm a bit paranoid about missing my flight. It was quite the hike between our two gates. I'm thinking we're probably both enjoying our alone time, and we'll have PLENTY of together time this coming week.
|These were the kids in the car as we drove to the airport. Sheer CRAZINESS!
#3 is being very emotional. Being left as the "only" girl with all those boys. "Mom! Take me with you," were her words.
So, I switch planes in SLC. #1 has a straight shot to L.A.
I just realized that I neglected to get a good English to Japanese dictionary for #1, so we'll definitely have to do that in Tokyo tomorrow.
So, here's how it all lays out for now....
Sit and wait for the plane to board.
Play sudoku
Head to Salt Lake City.
Switch planes.
Head to Los Angeles.
Meet up with the Warden's cousins--these guys need some serious nicknames. I can't keep calling them "the cousins." Hmm. Well, one of them has a family blog. On their blog, he's known as "The Student." I'm thinking we need to come up with something better than that. Oh, and we shall, believe me. He's the instigator of this trip, and since the Warden is "The Warden," maybe "The Student" should become "The Instigator." There's got to be something better.
Okay, back to the list.....
In L.A., the Instigator and his sidekick brother will meet up with me, and we'll go get #1.
In the wee hours of the morning, we catch our plane for Tokyo. From what I've heard about the Los Angeles airport, you have to hike from the domestic section to the international, so we'll be dragging our tired bottoms to the right gate.
Our flight to Japan will take 11 hours and 35 minutes. No joke! I told #1 I was glad she was sitting next to me so her shoulder could catch my drool as I sleep cuz that is my plan. I plan on doing some serious snoring.
When I arrived in Tokyo last time--back in 1989, I had jet lag SOOO bad! We took a shuttle from the international airport to the domestic airport. The other missionaries were sitting in the seat in front and turning around and talking to me and my companion, but I honestly kept dozing off mid-sentence. It was TERRIBLE.
So, here I have to share one of the reasons for the jet lag....
I traveled with three other female missionaries (sisters). They sat on one side all together. I sat in the middle section of the plane next to two Japanese women. Yikes! My two-month-old language skills were put to the test.
These women happened to be from Sendai. What?! Here I, before I got my mission call, had never heard of Sendai and here were two women from Sendai? Crazy! We chatted most of the flight. I watched them slurp their noodles as we ate our in-flight meal. Basically, I learned quite a bit about the people I was going to be spending a lot of time with for the next sixteen months of my life. So, in an attempt not to be rude to them, I didn't sleep much.
Now for where the story gets really weird. I know you must think I'm lying because of all the weird coincidental stories that happen in my life, but I'm telling you the honest to goodness truth. When my second companion came to join me in Aomori, she had transferred from Sendai, one of the first things she said to me was, "??? says hi." (Sorry, I don't remember the woman's name). Huh? "Who?" I replied. My companion, Sister Tazura, said, "Oh, she said she sat next to you on the plane ride to Japan. We were teaching her. She wanted to make sure I told you hello."
This time, I'm sitting next to one of my favorite people for more than 11 hours. She's a captive audience; so am I, for that matter. I plan on teaching her some Japanese and sleeping a whole lot.
There you have it.

Even before clinical trials, "Tocotrienol may be considered as a preventive nutritional countermeasure for people at high risk for stroke." – Dr. Chandan Sen, Ohio State University Medical Center
Based on more than 10 years of study, researchers at Ohio State University report that a little-known form of vitamin E (alpha-tocotrienol) helps protect brain cells against the trauma of a stroke – and does this by bolstering the activity of toxin-fighting genes.
According to their report, published online Jun 30 by the journal Stroke,(1) alpha-tocotrienol (toe co TREE en ol) taken orally can trigger production of a protein in the brain that clears toxins from nerve cells – preventing those cells from dying after a stroke that blocks blood flow, and potentially playing a role in stroke prevention.
Three Known Mechanisms, So Far
This process is one of three mechanisms identified so far that the tocotrienol form of vitamin E uses to protect brain cells after a stroke. Meaning that this natural substance might be more potent than drugs targeting single mechanisms for preventing stroke damage.
Though vitamin E occurs naturally in eight different forms, all of this work is focused on the tocotrienol form, also known as TCT.
• The commonly known form of vitamin E belongs to a variety called tocopherols.
• TCT is not abundant in the American diet but is available as a nutritional supplement.
• It is a common component of a typical Southeast Asian diet.
(For information on the recent discovery of tocotrienol in a rain forest plant, and its importance as the only known natural source of the vitamin unmixed with tocopherol, see
"Vitamin E: Super Antioxidant we Only Thought We Knew," by supplement research writer Karen Lee Richards.)
The researchers previously reported that the tocotrienol form of vitamin E protects the brain after a stroke by blocking an enzyme from releasing toxic fatty acids and inhibiting activity of a gene that can lead to neuron death.
In this new study, they first clarified the role of a protein called MRP1, or multidrug resistance-associated protein 1. This protein clears away a compound that can cause toxicity and cell death when it builds up in neurons as a result of the trauma of blocked blood flow associated with a stroke ("ischemic stroke").
They then determined that TCT taken orally influences production of this protein by elevating the activity of genes that make MRP1. This appears to occur at the microRNA level; a microRNA is a small segment of RNA that influences a gene's protein-building function.
"This is one of the first studies to provide evidence that a safe nutrient – a vitamin – can alter microRNA biology to produce a favorable disease outcome," says Chandan Sen, PhD, Associate Dean for Research at Ohio State University Medical Center, and senior author of the study.
"Here, a natural nutritional product is simultaneously acting on multiple targets to help prevent stroke-induced brain damage," he says. "That is a gifted molecule."
Over the past decade, Dr. Sen has led numerous studies on how the TCT form of vitamin E protects the brain against stroke damage in animal and cell models, and intends to eventually pursue tests of its potential to both prevent and treat strokes in humans.
About 800,000 Americans suffer new or recurrent strokes each year, and stroke is the third-leading cause of death in the United States, according to the American Stroke Association.

The Latest Research
These latest research findings in mice follow a recent Food and Drug Administration certification of TCT as "Generally Recognized as Safe," and the scientists conclude in the paper that even before clinical trials can take place, "TCT may be considered as a preventive nutritional countermeasure for people at high risk for stroke."
To determine the role of MRP1 in protecting brain cells, the researchers compared the effects of an induced stroke in two groups of mice: normal mice and animals that were genetically modified to be deficient in the MRP1 protein.
Both groups of mice showed comparably decreased blood flow in the area of the stroke, but the mice deficient in MRP1 had a larger volume of tissue death than did normal mice.
The mice with the protein deficiency also had a 1.6-fold higher level of a toxin that is cleared by MRP1. This toxin is called GSSG, or glutathione disulfide, and these researchers have previously shown that a failure to clear this toxin appears to trigger neuron death in the brain after stroke.
"The protein has the effect of dredging out the toxin," says Dr. Sen, who is also a deputy director of Ohio State's Davis Heart and Lung Research Institute. "A significant finding in this work is the recognition that MRP1 is a protective factor against stroke. Thanks to tocotrienol, we were able to identify that path."
The presence of GSSG is linked to an excessive amount of glutamate that is released in the brain after a stroke. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that, in tiny amounts, has important roles in learning and memory. Too much of it triggers a sequence of reactions that lead to the death of brain cells – the most damaging effects of a stroke.
This experiment showed for the first time that the loss of MRP1 function impairs the clearance of GSSG, and that MRP1 cells were recruited to the site of the stroke in normal mice, indicating this protein has a protective role in the brain after a stroke.
The researchers searched databases containing genomic data for a microRNA that appeared to have potential to influence production of MRP1. MicroRNAs bind to messenger RNA, which contains the actual set of instructions for building proteins. When that connection is made, however, the microRNA inhibits the building of protein from messenger RNA. So an inverse relationship exists between a microRNA and a protein it controls.
The researchers saw this very relationship in the cell study in which they manipulated the candidate microRNA levels and observed the effects of changing those levels on the presence of the MRP1 protein.
Finally, the researchers compared mice that were treated with TCT supplements or corn oil as a control for 13 weeks before a stroke was induced. The amount of damaged brain tissue was smaller in the mice that received TCT supplementation than in the mice receiving corn oil. In addition, TCT supplementation was associated with a lower level of the candidate microRNA in the damaged brain tissue, as well as an increase in the abundance of MRP1 cells at the stroke site.
"Essentially what we are showing with mechanistic explanation is that tocotrienol protects neural cells. It is anti-neurodegenerative," Dr. Sen said.
"This form of vitamin E helped us identify three major checkpoints in stroke-related neurodegeneration that were not known before we began testing tocotrienols against neurodegeneration."
This research was supported by the National Institutes of Health.
[ProHealth Note: Both tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) and the other, commonly known, form of vitamin E (the tocopherols (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) are beneficial, and are typically found together in their natural plant sources. Unfortunately the benefits of tocotrienols are blunted when ingested in combination with tocopherols, so the recent discovery of a rain forest plant containing only tocotrienol was a biochemical breakthrough.]

This As Seen on TV kitchen product promises to be a simpler solution for making hard boiled eggs without the fuss of peeling their shells once they're done, and without the frustration of realizing you can never peel them in a perfect shape. The point is that you just crack the egg while it's still raw, pour it in the mold and cook it. After boiling, you're supposed to just twist the shape to let the egg loose and enjoy perfectly-shaped boiled eggs for a variety of recipes. Let's see if it's as simple or efficient as it sounds.
The Eggies Egg Cooker is a set that contains tow plastic sides that come together to contain the eggs while boiling, then come off again to release them once they're boiled. No need to concern yourself with peeling anymore and this seems to be the main point of the product. Since the eggs are added raw to the device, another interesting perk is that you can spice them or add a bit of various flavorings from the cooking stage. You can buy this kitchen gizmo on Amazon.
Reasons to Buy the Eggies Egg Cooker
It's reasonably priced, looks fun to use together with kids to involve them in preparing dinner (and perhaps convince them to eat since they've played around a bit with preparing it) and it doesn't hurt to give them a try. Another sensible thing to consider is that if you're really busy or clumsy (like if you babysit or if you have some mobility issues that make egg peeling problematic), this is a very good reason to get this product to make your life easier. Perhaps another good reason to give the product a chance it that you may find yourself, at times, needing to cook a lot of hard boiled eggs at once for different dishes (Scotch eggs, deviled eggs, egg salad and so on) and simply don't have the time or the patience to peel the shell off of all. Thus, using the Eggies Egg Cooker might just save you all that time and effort you would normally need.
Customer Issues and Concerns
This is where it gets a bit unpleasant, because there have been more than one slight malfunction reported about this product. Many people reported that the eggs may drip while cooking and come off in weird shapes because of it, that the time required to boil them is way longer than cooking them in the shell, or that the device is so difficult to clean that maybe it would have just been easier to peel those shells in the first place. Even worse, the yolk becomes mixed with the whites in some unappetizing threads and the device is far from being non-stick as the manufacturer claims. Quite a number of people are also cautious about the product being made from plastic as that may have potentially harmful health effects in combination with the high heat. Still, there were still a few customers who were satisfied with the Eggies Egg Cooker and said that overall it's less messy than simply cooking eggs the traditional way. The bad news is that there are more unsatisfied customers than satisfied ones, so it would be safe to assume that the product isn't really a success.
The Verdict
You probably won't cook eggs on a really industrial scale, and therefore you won't need such a gadget more often than a rare once in a while. In the rest of the time, it will just occupy space in your already crowded cupboard, along with the rest of the kitchen gizmos that seemed like a good idea at some point. We're not saying that you shouldn't buy it, but perhaps just give it a very good and cold consideration before deciding. Do you really need another kitchen thingy like this one? If the answer is yes and you're willing to turn a blind eye to all the potential glitches that others have complained about, then, by all means, give it a go. It wouldn't be a complete waste of money, but we're not enthusiastic about it either. Maybe a more satisfying alternative would be to turn to a kitchen appliance designed for cooking eggs, only a bit more expensive than this product and with far fewer issues.

A previous article, making an earnest and anguished plea to recall alternatives in the popular imagination was posted on Nirmukta after the publishers' recall of the Indian edition of The Hindus : An Alternative History by Wendy Doniger.
It now seems that it is not just alternative narratives that are under threat, but even quotes of 'standard' narratives that are being silenced. At the time of writing, On Hinduism by the same author faces recall and pulping. One of the 'offensive sections' in the book, as cited by the petitioners (from the report in the Outlook weekly here) is this: Lakshmana… says, ' I don't like this. The king is perverse, old and debauched by pleasure. What would he not say under pressure, mad with passion as he is? The king referred to in that piece of dialogue is Dasharatha, father of the deified Rama and his brother Lakshmana, the apotheosized paragon of fraternal conduct. The petitioners who apparently treat such deification and apotheosis as undeniable truth, are perhaps shocked at an attribution of such filial irreverence towards Dasharatha, the revered patriarch and head of the archetypal Hindu-Undivided-Family on part of Lakshmana, the foremost of the Ram Bhakts (devotees of Rama). The trouble is, the Sanskrit version of the Ramayana most commonly accepted as the original one, namely the version attributed to the poet-saint Valmiki of uncertain historicity, puts those very words in the mouth of Lakshmana:
Valmiki Ramayana Ayodhya Kanda Sarga 21 Verse 3
C. Rajagopalachari, Indian independence activist, scholar of Indian classics and patron-saint of sorts for the Indian 'centre-Right', had no compunctions quoting other verses similarly unflattering to the patriarch, from the same chapter in his well-loved English retelling of the Ramayana, which can be read here. Even your enemies, O Raama, when they look at you begin to love you, but this dotard of a father sends you to the forest. It turns out that Lakshmana doesn't seem to have been in a mood to stop with verbal barbs. Verse 12 of that very chapter goes "If our father with an evil mind behaves like our enemy with instigation by Kaikeyi. I shall keep him imprisoned with out personal attachment or if necessary, kill him." This is not Doniger's Lakshmana speaking, but Valmiki's Lakshmana, if only those who claim to treat that retelling of the epic as their 'scripture' had been paying attention. Both Rajagopalachari and K M Munshi, founder of the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan which published the former's Ramayana were in their time considered Hindu stalwarts and respected spokespersons of Hinduism. Those who self-identify as Hindus today, at least those among them who would like to consider themselves literate and liberal, must be gravely concerned about the precipitous fall in the quality of their spokespersons from those endowed with classical scholarship to bumptious demagogues and cultural protection-racketeers who make a mockery of India's much-vaunted intellectual traditions.
So much for why liberal Hindus, whom I am told constitute a silent majority, must be concerned about the fate of The Hindus and On Hinduism. Why should humanists be concerned about the straitjacketing and suffocation of mythical narratives and retellings? Here's a snippet from a conversation that might help understand what's at stake here for anyone who values equity and diversity. In this section of a Tamil video made by members of Orinam, a Chennai-based organization for LGBT advocacy, a participant speaks of how writings by Devdutt Pattanaik on homosexuality in Indian epics were a useful conversation-starter while coming-out to a straight friend interested in Indian lore. In a report of the Bangalore Pride Walk of 2013 published in the Nirmukta blog, one of the placards is quoted as asking "Our epics do not discriminate, why do we?" Well, it turns out that while the epics by themselves don't lend themselves to a single discriminatory slogan and may on occasion even supply a humanist slogan, the Doniger-haters' reading (actually 'unreading' and attempted unwriting) of the epics does indeed discriminate. Like the scriptural literalism afflicting the Religious Right in the US (conveniently selectively), what afflicts such 'defenders-of-the-faith' in India maybe called an epic litero-clasm, an infliction of iconoclasm on any literature, however classical, that does not align with the palingenetic myth they are peddling and seeking a monopoly for. Their motto may well be "No listening. No story-telling.", a more menacing variant of the grudging "Don't Ask; Don't Tell.", and they seek jurisdiction and the last word over every town's night-life and any bed-time story that departs from their revisionist 'history'.
Be it Koushal vs Naz, or Batra vs Penguin Books India Pvt Ltd., such unimaginative and inhuman readings of either Law or Lore, represent different fronts in the same larger struggle. The 'defenders of the faith' are ostensibly wielding legal and constitutional means, but relying on the unspoken, implicit and very palpable threat of orchestrated civil unrest. The threat is not vaguely implicit but has been manifested unmistakably in the past, be it a ransacking of an archive when a hagiography was revisited scholastically, or the vandalizing of art galleries when mythical motifs were reimagined. With such an intimidatory history and with colonial-era legal provisions by their side, such custodians of 'normalcy' are attempting, and alarmingly appearing to succeed, in an attempt at usurpation of cultural space and disinheriting anyone whom they consider not 'normal', of the slightest socio-cultural capital. This cultural disenfranchisement calls for a resolute resistance to enforced dourness and colourlessness with undimmed rainbows, and can begin with something as simple as Iranian youngsters celebrating a 'pagan' Nowruz in the face of the Ayatollahs' strictures.

This is a personal project of fifteen poster illustrations I've done beginning May and finishing in October. I had hoped to make this a seven part series that I could screen-print entirely during my internship with Lure Design Inc, but it quickly grew twice the size. With this project I challanged myself to see how far I can push a vector illustration (a long with a little bit of raster effects), the only rule was that it had to be two colors on black paper. This project was in a way, a return to drawing like I did during childhood, not so much focusing on the philosophy behind the artwork but just drawing robot-like creatures from my imagination for fun.
This being said, some parts of the series are not without deeper meaning. Through out the series the viewer will notice that I've not kept the typography exclusively to English, as I also create compositions in Chinese, Japanese, Medieval Runes, French, Spanish, Greek, and Latin. The viewer will find quotes from The Bible, from Hymns, and type relating to Bushido and the Seven Cardinal Virtues. Though since this series is not meant to be entirely serious, some of the type is there for the fun of it. I also referenced the artworks of different cultures, most especially architecture.
Some of the creatures of this series are not new, but they appear in a new form. The Hunter was first drawn in high school after someone stole my artwork. The Hunter has been made digital a couple of times, but these were before I knew Illustrator. The Apotropaic Grotesque is a lavishly decorated version of a small crow-like gargoyle I drew over three years ago. Pelicanus Gothicus came from a sketch that I did not use for a piece I made three years ago as well. Missile Breath also came from an old sketch, it was from the first thoughts of making an graffiti-styled screen-print series (you will notice that the graffiti idea was abandoned, though I did make sketches for a "graffiti-bot" the idea was replaced by the "gundam-esque" Murcielago). The Prince is a remake of a drawing I made last year for the Illustration Student Association (Xysticus Machinamentum). Lastly, the design concept for Unum is based off of my design for The Graphic Design Student Association t-shirt I made in the fall of 2010.
NOTE: I am in the process of Screen-printing ALL of these, with the help of Lure Design Inc, I've managed to print nearly half of them all. They will be up for sale online soon. In the meantime, you can expect these to appear in art sales at the University of Central Florida.

...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.

It's probably nothing more than the fact that Ludwick has hit Burnett well in a small sample size. Phillips has been Ok it's Bruce that really scuffles against him.
What is so hard about letting Bruce hit 4th? It's like Dusty will do it every once in a while, but he obviously doesn't like it.
villain612 (09-27-2013)
27 posts and we're still an hour away from first pitch. Very cool. And, while I'm not superstitious, would all seem to qualify as good-omen stuff.
I gotta feelling we're gonna win tonight.
p.s., I'm also fine with trying new things and the slightly revised lineup. My only ask would be to play Mes more but know Dusty's not going to do that. I keep remembering that amazing AB he had in PIT last weekend. The kid's hungry and he's strong. He should be playing more imho.
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
Kind of interesting--at least to me--that tonight's pitching matchup strikes me as the one that might be best for Tuesday also. For both teams. Know it'll be Liriano/Latos but just noticing that. Burnett totally had our number last Saturday. And I was in the minority that voted Homer over Latos for the Tuesday start on that thread simply because I like him a bit better when the stakes are very high. That said, maybe Tuesday will be a good chance for Mat to (re)establish his big-game bona fides.
Reds & Nats, 2013 LCS. Take2 (9/13) Reds but no Nats
Having Ludwick 2nd means that if he gets on base in his final AB Hamilton will be on for Votto, and maybe Phillips and Bruce.

I'm not normally one for 2 dimensional purely print art, but with the sheer explosion of these kinds of prints, I couldn't hold myself back any longer. It surprised me at how easy it is to do actually.
And since we have a bit of a prejudice against paid for proprietary software in our house it was done entirely through GIMP. I would suggest using many many layers (one for each bit of text) so you can move them, and change sizes etc independently to help with the design.
Also- I'm not sure if this helped, but I started from the bottom. I have
read before that if you are trying to replicate something by drawing
(like a portrait etc) you should turn the image upside down when you
copy it so you can ignore/turn off the "this is a face" part of your
brain. Which apparently helps you to focus more on producing a faithful
copy than interpreting what you are doing and so getting in your own
way. I think it helped to start from the bottom because it is something I
would never do and it meant I wasn't in a comfort zone, so I was more
creative. Who knows?
Incidentally: these are all place names that DH and I have lived in. Arcadia is the area we lived in when we first shared a flat. I toyed with colouring the words- something like yellow for me alone, blue for hubby and green for both of us- but it just looked a bit contrived. And whilst the print is semi-balanced in monochrome, with three colours it becomes a bit more than my little graphic design skills can deal with :)
Also dear dear husband told me that Irene, in the top right hand corner, looked evil in whatever colour I chose. I didn't want to agree, but the seed was planted....
This is doubly weird since Irene is a quiet little village which is so sweet that you definitely can imagine a horror movie waiting to be set there.
Edit: Here are two of the coloured versions (Made the right choice, eh?)

Google Operating System has spotted a new "Remind Me" feature that was recently added to Google's search results. Searching for certain entertainment-related terms will bring up a "Remind Me" button in the right-side Knowledge Graph section of your search results. (The Knowledge Graph is Google's answer-finding semantic-search initiative that was added to the search engine in 2012 and powers many Google voice response answers.)
The button integrates with the recently added reminders feature in Google Now. A quick tap on the button will beam a reminder to your mobile device. The cards will pop up in Google Now's card stream any time a new episode, book, or movie in your chosen series is released.
The "Remind Me" button works in search results on mobile and desktop, and the cards will show up in the Google search app for Android or iOS. You can view and remove your current reminder subscriptions from the "My Reminders" setting in Google Now or by searching for it again.
A reminders app is always useful, but a cloud-powered reminders app has more potential. Here's hoping Google adds a bunch more supported categories (like sports teams). App integration would be great, too. Just scan my Play Music library for all favorite artists and add them as reminders. This should be live for everyone by now, so try searching!

The TAL abort
mode was developed to improve the options available when a main
engine fails after the last RTLS opportunity but before the first
time that an AOA can be accomplished with only two main engines
or when a major orbiter system failure, for example, a large cabin
pressure leak or cooling system failure, occurs after the last
RTLS opportunity, making it imperative to land as quickly as possible.
In a TAL
abort, the vehicle continues on a ballistic trajectory across
the Atlantic Ocean to land at a predetermined runway. Landing
occurs approximately 45 minutes after launch. The landing site
is selected near the nominal ascent ground track of the orbiter
in order to make the most efficient use of space shuttle main
engine propellant. The landing site also must have the necessary
runway length, weather conditions and U.S. State Department approval.
Currently, the three landing sites that have been identified for
a due east launch are Moron, Spain; Banjul, The Gambia; and Ben
Guerir, Morocco.
To select
the TAL abort mode, the crew must place the abort rotary switch
in the TAL/AOA position and depress the abort push button before
main engine cutoff. (Depressing it after main engine cutoff selects
the AOA abort mode.) The TAL abort mode begins sending commands
to steer the vehicle toward the plane of the landing site. It
also rolls the vehicle heads up before main engine cutoff and
sends commands to begin an orbital maneuvering system propellant
dump (by burning the propellants through the orbital maneuvering
system engines and the reaction control system engines). This
dump is necessary to increase vehicle performance (by decreasing
weight), to place the center of gravity in the proper place for
vehicle control, and to decrease the vehicle's landing weight.
TAL is handled
like a nominal entry.

The early 1800s was a watershed era for the vintners of Portugal's Douro Valley, On one hand, the grape harvest of 1820, after fermenting and aging for four years, presented connoisseurs with a wine of remarkable sweetness, with "plenty of crust and plenty of color…and a well-stained cork," according to T.G. Shaw, who recorded his views in Wine, the Vine, and the Cellar (1863), The remarkable vintage established Portuguese wine as a favorite among the British.

Editor's Note: On September 14, 2009 Patrick Swayze died of pancreatic cancer.
The big celebrity news this week is that, unfortunately, Patrick Swayze has pancreatic cancer. It's unclear what the extent of his disease is because early reports that he might be terminal have been squelched by his team who say that his disease is "limited" and that he has responded well to treatment. We all wish him well, but only time will tell. What's so unfortunate are the statistics on cancer of the pancreas, which typically has a very high mortality rate with only 15 to 20 percent of people alive after five years. The biggest problem with pancreatic cancer is that the organ is hidden away and its cancer doesn't usually cause any symptoms until it's far advanced. That coupled with the facts that there's no good screening methods and that treatments for cancer of the pancreas aren't that great, means that this is one diagnosis you hope never to hear.
The American Cancer Society estimates that 37,680 Americans (18,770 men and 18,910 women) will be diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas during 2008. The lifetime risk of developing it is about 1 in 79, and an estimated 34,290 Americans (17,500 men and 16,790 women) will die of pancreatic cancer in 2008, making this type of cancer the fourth leading cause of cancer death overall. For comparison, there will be about 215,000 cases of lung cancer in 2008 (lifetime risk for men 1 in 16, for women 1 in 13), with about 180,000 deaths from lung cancer, which makes it the leading cancer killer (more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast and prostate combined!).
The pancreas is located behind the stomach and on top of the spine, so it is deep and hidden. Unlike the colon, the prostate and the breast, the pancreas is not accessible for physical screening and there are no reliable blood tests for its cancer. Many people know that the pancreas is where insulin is made, but the cells that do that are not usually involved in cancer. Instead, the cancer occurs in the cells that make what might be called pancreatic "juice," which contains enzymes that help you digest fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the food you eat. The vast majority (around 95 percent) of the cells in the pancreas is part of the "juice" system, rather than the few that make insulin and another hormone called glucagon.
The biggest risk factor for pancreatic cancer is age, with the average age at diagnosis being 72 and with 90 percent of cases occurring after age 55, which is Mr. Swayze's current age. It is slightly more common in African Americans for unknown reasons. The other known risk factors include smoking, obesity and diabetes. People with the BRCA2 gene mutation who are at higher risk for breast cancer are also at higher risk for developing pancreatic cancer. The most common symptoms are pain, weight loss and jaundice, but these symptoms typically don't occur until the cancer is at an advanced stage.
As I mentioned earlier, the pancreas is behind the stomach and above the spine. It is also intimately associated with the duodenum, which is the part of the GI tract joins the stomach to the small intestine. In fact, the duodenum has a C shape, with one end of the pancreas sitting right inside the open space created by the C. These facts make surgical removal of pancreatic cancer challenging. All too often, surgical removal of the cancer is not possible even at the time of diagnosis. And if surgery can be performed it's usually extensive and risky.
In recent years there have been advances in surgery, radiation and chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. The best prognosis is given to those patient's whose cancer is found early. We can only hope that such is the case for Mr. Swayze. If his cancer was small and/or localized, he may have been able to have undergone surgery in an attempt to cure his disease. Surgery would typically be followed by a combination of chemo and radiotherapies. Everything depends on the extent of the disease and its spread, if any.

Jerusalem Post
November 11, 2012
The IDF fired a warning shot at the Syrian military on Sunday, after a Syrian shell landed in the Golan Heights for the second time in recent days.
Israel has not fired at Syria since the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
"In the midst of Syrian infighting, a mortar shell fired by the Syrian army struck near an outpost at Tel Hazeka," IDF spokesman Brig.-Gen. Yoav Mordechai said. The shell failed to cause injuries or damages.
"In light of the policy instituted by IDF Chief of Staff, Lt.-Gen. Benny Gantz, a warning round was fired back into Syria. We don't believe it caused injuries or damages," Mordechai added.
At the same time, Israel sent a warning message to the UN, saying that any further firing into Israel will result "in a real response," sources added.

OTTAWA – Former prime minister Paul Martin predicts the humbled federal Liberal party will re-emerge as a force to contend with by the time of the next election in just three years.
Many Liberals, including some contenders for the party's leadership, believe it will take at least two elections to dig themselves out of the electoral hole to which they were consigned in 2011, when they were reduced to a third-party rump with just 34 seats.
But Martin is more optimistic, predicting a much faster turn-around.
"I think the Liberal party is going to be in very, very good shape come the next election," Martin said Monday night outside a Liberal tribute to senior party statesman and former cabinet minister Herb Gray.
"The fact of the matter is we've got both the (Conservative) government and the (NDP) Opposition (that) are at the polar extremes of the right and the left. That's not where Canadians are.
"Canadians understand that government has to play a positive role and that it has to be fiscally responsible and they've left the door wide open for the Liberals and that's exactly where the Liberals feel most comfortable."
That applies equally in Quebec, where voters flocked to the NDP in 2011, Martin added.
"I think Quebecers have indicated that they're capable of turning on a dime … Quebecers are not extremists."
Martin said the current leadership race is "creating a lot of momentum" and interest in the party.
The tribute for Gray, who served almost 40 years as an MP for Windsor until his retirement in 2002, was as much a showcase for those seeking to lead the party in future as it was a celebration of one of the key players from the party's glorious past.
Most of the declared contenders, and a number of soon-to-be candidates, used the occasion to circulate among the several hundred Liberal movers and shakers who attended the tribute.
Montreal MP Justin Trudeau, eldest son of former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, and the presumptive front-runner, was surrounded by Liberals seeking to shake his hand or have their pictures taken with him, while his rivals generally chatted with one or two Liberals at a time.
The most serious challenger to Justin Trudeau so far is Martha Hall Findlay, a former Toronto MP who ran last in the 2006 leadership contest. She officially took the plunge last week and was pressing the flesh at the Gray tribute Monday.
Long shot contenders David Bertschi, an Ottawa lawyer, and retired Canadian Forces Lt.-Col. Karen McCrimmon were also in attendance, as were several other putative dark horse candidates who intend to take the plunge soon despite Trudeau's head start and evident popularity.
"There's going to be some unconventional candidates. I'm one of them," said Toronto lawyer George Takach, who intends to formally launch his campaign on Nov. 29 with a focus on technology and the economy.
"I'm delighted that Justin's in it, don't get me wrong. He's going to bring all sorts of energy and new people into the party. But so will I."
Vancouver MP Joyce Murray, who intends to pitch her experience as a former British Columbia cabinet minister and small businesswoman when she launches her campaign early next week, said she "completely disagrees" with those who think Trudeau has already sewn up the race.
"I've worked with Justin and it's great that he's in the race. I'm so happy at the attention that it's attracting," she said.
"At the same time, people will … also be looking, not just for a buzz because a buzz is temporary, they'll be looking for who can really lead the kind of transformation that we need in our party."
Montreal MP Marc Garneau, Canada's first astronaut, was also in attendance but would not tip his hand as to when he expects to announce whether he's going to join the race.
Earlier Monday, Ottawa MP David McGuinty announced that he — like his brother, retiring Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty — has decided to take a pass.
David McGuinty told The Canadian Press he's concluded he can best serve the party in other ways.
"I've reflected long and hard on what is the best way for me to help rebuild the party, what is the best way for me to help hold down the fort, do what I call a lot of the ground work, a lot of the nuts and bolts work," he said in an interview.
"And I think I am best placed at this time to do what I'm doing, which is to really build the party from the ground up, riding by riding, issue by issue, in the committees, on the floor of the House of Commons.
"I just think there's so much heavy lifting to be done that, from my perspective, this is for me the best way to serve."
McGuinty said his decision has nothing to do with the widespread perception that Trudeau has already locked up the contest, which only officially began last week and culminates April 14.
"I don't place a lot of stock in prohibitive favourites," he said, pointing out that his brother Dalton vaulted from fourth place to win the Ontario Liberal leadership in 1996.
The premier announced last month that he will retire as soon as a successor is chosen in January. Under pressure from a well-organized draft campaign, he briefly toyed with the notion of running for the federal leadership but eventually ruled that out.
In addition to the McGuinty brothers, a number of other prospective heavyweight contenders have chosen to sit out the contest, including Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, former deputy prime minister John Manley, New Brunswick MP Dominic LeBlanc and Halifax MP Geoff Regan.
Among the others who've declared their candidacies are Toronto lawyer and policy consultant Deborah Coyne, mother of Trudeau's half sister, Vancouver prosecutor Alex Burton, and David Merner, former president of the party's British Columbia wing.
However, Trudeau is the only candidate so far to officially register with the party, which includes paying the first $25,000 instalment of a $75,000 entry fee.

With firms like the Blackstone Group swooping into markets, buying up homes by the thousands and seeing their values rise nicely, everyone from real estate bloggers to the New York Times is openly wondering if Wall Street's next play is to take profits, leaving the nascent housing recovery in smolders.
"In a sign of the potential peril ahead, some of the investment firms have recently taken the first steps to cash out," is how a Times article published Monday put it, referring to a move by some private equity firms to cash their highly appreciated portfolios into a hot stock market through initial public offerings.
But according to Sean Fergus, senior real estate analyst for John Burns Real Estate Consulting, the media exaggerate Wall Street's role in real estate.
In an interview with AdvisorOne, the Irvine, Calif.-based analyst offered a back-of-the-envelope calculation for Wall Street's total inventory of homes at no more than 200,000—compared with real estate transactions in 2012 totaling 4.7 million.
"Some of these private equity firms are issuing IPOs—that's part of their strategy, but I don't think it's some kind of mad rush to sell because they see some sort of problem down the road," Fergus says. "These firms have solid business models; I don't see any of them doing that [dumping their inventory]. That would be shooting themselves in the foot."
The John Burns senior analyst, whose clients range from large real estate developers to private equity and Wall Street hedge funds, says that while some of their models may involve taking their portfolios public, most are waiting patiently for asset prices to rise.
"We're still expecting 50%-plus aggregate appreciation through 2017 in Las Vegas," he says citing one example.
And the Las Vegas example is instructive as to Wall Street's exaggerated role in the real estate market.
"Most of these firms are focused in select markets: Southern California, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Atlanta—and they still represent only a fraction of transactions," he says, adding that even if every single transaction were concentrated in Phoenix alone, Wall Street's investment in the sector would not be big enough to cause worries about its role.
"Blackstone is by far the biggest player, with 26,000 homes," Fergus says, followed by Carrington Holding Co., whose 25,000 homes include many that are owned by "ma and pa investors" for whom Carrington acts as a property manager.
Skeptics of the real estate recovery often point to weak employment and income that should be undermining demand, but Fergus says that argument misses more important factors driving the boom.
"While income growth has been modest and employment growth has been modest, affordability is excellent. It's still an extremely strong time to buy," he says, noting that affordability in Atlanta is still approximately 50% below its historical average, and 10 to 20% below historical averages for Las Vegas.
Fueling affordability are today's low mortgage rates and home prices.
"4% [for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage] is extremely low compared to any previous time in history. Even if rates went to 5%, that's still lower than the previous boom cycle," Fergus says.
"But we don't see any kind of significant increase [in rates] over the next few years," he adds.
There's another factor boosting demand.
"There's an extremely strong propensity to own, even after this whole boom-bust cycle. At the end of the day, the majority of families want to be homeowners," he says, adding that homebuyers are like car buyers, looking more at the monthly payment than the overall price tag in assessing whether they can afford a home.
For investors taking a more paper-and-pencil look at profitability, Fergus says the first phase, still ongoing, is focused on investments in Southern California, Las Vegas and Phoenix.
Attention is now shifting to the Southeast, where Atlanta and Charlotte are favored markets. The next stop will be the Midwest and Northeast.
But as the market becomes more crowded with ordinary home buyers, it's getting harder for Wall Street to make a killing on real estate.
"There are two to three times as many people at the courthouse auctions," he says.
But don't count Wall Street out just yet.
"They can always come up with new strategies to acquire properties," he says. "It's such a new asset class. Nobody's gone through a complete business cycle to know how it all plays out."
But while the exit strategy is unclear, one thing is perfectly clear right now.
"Any of these private equity firms that got in early already experienced significant appreciation on the homes they've purchased," he says.

One of the vagaries of cloud computing is that when you choose to host your pictures, files, and so forth with an organisaton you never know where that company is going to end up in the future, and subsequently what the future holds for your files.
Take BubbleShare, one of the earlier Web 2.0 photo sharing sites. Today BubbleShare announced it was shutting down and that you have until November 15 to download your albums or they're gone.
BubbleShare was acquired in 2007 by fellow Canadian company Kaboose for $2.25 million. Kaboose was then acquired by Disney Online in April this year. But if you thought having all your photos under the Disney umbrella meant they were in safe-keeping then think again. By now, Disney would have completed a review of the Kaboose assets and it seems its first point of order is to shut BubbleShare.
If I'd been entrusting my photos to BubbleShare over the last five years or so, I'd be pretty peeved with Disney right now.

By Bridget Vis A national tech conference that brings together local companies, startups and investors is coming to downtown Detroit next month. Techweek, which started in Chicago in 2011, is a weeklong celebration of the tech industry in cities across America, said Executive Director Sam Kennedy.
Kennedy said the conference features presentations from top tech CEOs, in addition to a technology trade expo, startup competition, fashion tech runway show and hiring fair.
"Techweek gets the entire tech community together for one event," he said.
Last year, Kennedy said about 18,000 people attended Techweek in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York, and organizers expect more this year by expanding the conference to Miami and Detroit.
He said about 1,000 people are expected to attend Techweek Detroit.
The idea to bring Techweek to Detroit came from a desire to have a South by Southwest-style event in the city, said Ted Serbinski, chairman of the executive advisory board for Techweek Detroit and partner atDetroit Venture Partners, which helped attract the event to the city.
Serbinski said he thought the event would fit in well with metro Detroit's growing technology startup community.
"Techweek is a way to celebrate all the entrepreneurs and technology companies that we have here," he said.
Serbinski said the Detroit conference, which will be based around the theme of "City of the Future," will have a series of summits on topics such as how technology will impact education, health care and the future of the automotive industry, including a presentation on Google's self-driving cars.
Scheduled speakers for Techweek Detroit include: Bill Pulte, CEO of Pulte Capital Partners and founder of the Detroit Blight Authority; Josh Linkner, CEO and managing partner of Detroit Venture Partners; Mike McAvoy, president of The Onion; Luis Perez, senior vice president and CFO of the Detroit Lions; Paul Glomski, CEO and co-founder of Detroit Labs; and Crain's Entrepreneurship Editor Amy Haimerl.Kennedy said more than 80 companies and 1,000 job seekers participated in Techweek hiring fairs last year. Many local technology companies will be among the 50 businesses expected to participate this year in Detroit, including the Detroit-based Bizdom companies and Ann Arbor-based information technology startup Duo Security Inc.,he said.
Techweek Detroit is scheduled for May 22-23 at 160 Fort St. (the former Federal Reserve building). Additional events will start May 19 and culminate on May 24 with the Movement Electronic Music Festival . Techweek tickets range from $30 and $199 and can be purchased at http://techweek.com/detroit/#register.

Opera software recently cranked out a new alpha version of its upcoming Opera 12 web browser. Opera 12 has been in development for a little while now and recently added full hardware acceleration for WebGL graphics.
If you'd like to take Opera 12 for a spin, head on over to the Opera Next downloads page.
Before you consider taking it for a spin though be aware that the new hardware accelerated WebGL features work best with "modern graphics cards and up to date drivers." The Opera blog also notes that "testing Opera 12 alpha can trigger bugs in your graphics card and in worst case blue screen your computer."
The new hardware acceleration features mean that every element on screen in Opera 12 — not just, say, the canvas element — is now handled by your graphics card (provided it's up to the task). Right now the acceleration only works with an OpenGL backend though Opera plans to add support for DirectX (and more graphics cards) as Opera 12 progresses.
While the hardware acceleration is definitely the big news in this release there are a few other new features as well, including a new HTML5 engine, some improvements for Opera themes and a revamped address bar.
Also due to eventually make its way into Opera 12 is experimental support for the new CSS Paged Media proposal, but regrettably that's not part of the alpha release.
I played with the Opera 12 alpha over the weekend and found that it was indeed a bit snappier, but unfortunately it also seemed to add almost a 100MB of RAM when loading the same dozen tabs that I had open in the current release, Opera 11.51.
Of course it's still early in the development cycle, and, assuming Opera can bring the memory overhead back down to match that of Opera 11.51, and improve the range of graphics cards supported, Opera 12 looks to offer quite a speed bump over previous versions.

Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) was an English lawyer, privy councillor, and Speaker of the House of Parliament before he ran afoul of the Anglican Church for not compromising his Catholic beliefs by refusing to acknowledge Henry VIII as the sole head of the church. He was beheaded for this refusal. He is famous for his political work Utopia (1516) in which there was no private property, widespread use of slaves, and an internal passport for travel was required.

From Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to Haiti and Timor-Leste, UN peacekeepers deserve greater recognition for their service to both the UN and the world, Alain Le Roy, the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, told his final press conference last week.
Appointed to the post in June 2008, after more than three years as the head of the United Nations' peacekeeping operations, Alain Le Roy is leaving the United Nations to spend more time with his family.
At a dinner honouring the outgoing Peacekeeping Chief, The Secretary-General hailed his vision, bravery, exceptional dedication and hands-on management
More than 120,000 peacekeepers are spread across 15 operations worldwide, ranging from Haiti and Kosovo to Timor-Leste and South Sudan. Demand for United Nations-led peacekeeping operations is likely to continue over the next five years and may even start to rise again as individual countries reduce their defence spending and fresh crises and conflicts emerge.
In this week's Newsmaker interview* Mr. Le Roy discussed some of the major crises that occurred during his period as Under-Secretary-General. These crises included: the devastating earthquake in Haiti in January 2010, which killed many staff serving with the UN peacekeeping operation (MINUSTAH); the surge in violence in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in late 2008; and the aftermath of disputed elections in Côte d'Ivoire in 2010-11.
