Yesterday afternoon Matt Cutts made the following short post:
Hey folks, I wanted to let you know that new toolbar PageRank values should become visible over the next few days. I'm expecting that also in the next few days that we'll be expiring some older penalties on websites.
I don't care too much about the PageRank values, although I always find them entertaining in some manner. I'm mainly curious about the expired penalties… He says "older penalties", so I'm assuming that can't mean the <1 month old poker update that happened. See here and here. But could this update effect poker at all in terms of releasing some long-lost sites from a penalty? Possibly.
Either way, if you're in the business or an interested observer, the next few days should be pretty interesting to see how the Google results change.

The Original Vulgarian John Hansen 1937-2005
The Original Vulgarian
John Hansen
By Don Lauria
I met John Hansen in the fall of 1961. We were both working as engineers at North American Aviation in El Segundo, California. I had just returned from vacation and my first excursion to the summit of a Sierra peak. The traditional routine was to pass around any photos from one's trip for all to see. One of my colleagues, upon returning my box of slides, mentioned he knew a guy in the Computer Department who was an avid mountaineer and asked if he could show the slides to him. I said okay and a little later he returned with John Hansen.
Hansen was not too tall, maybe 5' 9", but very wide, very fit, built like an ape. He had a New York accent, a cauliflower ear, a mischievous laugh, and a great gift of gab. He immediately needed to know of my entire personal mountaineering history (which at that moment involved a single non-technical Sierra peak). He asked if I was interested in learning to climb. I asked if he meant with ropes and stuff. He answered that, of course, ropes, pitons, ice axes, crampons - all that stuff! I replied that he must be kidding – I was definitely not interested. He insisted I go with him to Stoney Point and do some bouldering. Bouldering? I politely said no. He insisted. I said no again. He questioned my sense of adventure and suggested the coming weekend would be ideal for my introduction to rock climbing. For more than 15 minutes he parried my refusals. His persistence won out. That weekend would change my life.
I drove 35 miles to the San Fernando Valley where John lived with his wife and infant son and arrived at 7:00 AM, as agreed, to find him still in bed. He came to the door naked. "Oh man, sorry. I overslept. Come on in. I'll be ready in a minute." He returned to the bedroom. I could hear an infant crying and his wife's complaining. He had obviously forgotten to tell her of his plans. He immerged from the bedroom wearing a beige wool sweater, brown corduroy knickers, mountain boots, and a navy blue beret. "Come on, let's get something to eat."
We stopped at an IHOP for pancakes. John's beret and knickers got a few looks as we entered, but I was so absorbed in interesting and enthusiastic conversation about rock climbing, I soon forgot the stares.
I spent the entire Saturday climbing at Stoney in a pair of John's mountain boots two sizes too small for me. He took me around the entire area, climbing everything in sight. By the end of the day I could barely lift my arms. I was exhausted - but was I stoked!
That evening at John's apartment, he found a "not-so-dear-John" note from his wife – she had packed up and left with child. Seemingly unperturbed, John filled me with Gerwurztraminer and tales from his Vulgarian Shawangunks days. Well into the evening he talked about mountaineering – famous European and American climbers and climbing history. He pulled six mountaineering books off his shelf and insisted I take them home and read them. By the time I got home I was already planning my next weekend at Stoney Point.
I climbed four more times with John at Stoney Point, and then, on New Year's Day 1962, he took me out to the Devil's Backbone on Mt. San Antonio with my brand-new boots, brand-new ice axe, and brand-new crampons. He tied me into a 9mm rope and told me to take a running leap off the ridge down the steep north face to practice a self-arrest. My first attempt ended abruptly at the end of the rope. I had not only failed to slow my descent, I had forgotten to put on my brand-new leather gloves which left all the knuckles on both my hands bereft of skin. My second descent, with gloves, was successful and I figured that I had mastered the art – no need to do that again. My life as a mountaineer had begun.
John was a gregarious sort and he introduced me to many well known climbers including Yvon Chouinard, Bob Kamps, and several of his Vulgarian buddies like Jim McCarthy and Art Gran.
One November evening in 1961, we visited Chouinard in his little room in back of his parent's home in Burbank. It was Yvon's 23rd birthday. The evening could have been a bit more cheerful, but Yvon was due to report for his pre-induction physical the next morning and was not happy about it. However, Yvon had a plan. He heard that a sufficient amount of soy sauce consumed prior to a physical exam could raise one's blood pressure to 4F levels. So John and I went out and bought a six pack of eight-ounce bottles of soy sauce and returned to watch Chouinard down as many as he could stand. The birthday party ended and later that week a very sick Yvon was inducted into the U.S. Army. The experiment had failed and Yvon ended up in Korea for two years. Yvon mentions this happening in his new book Let My People Go Surfing.
John and I climbed together just a few more times at Tahquitz Rock and in Yosemite through 1964 and then saw each other on mostly social occasions, some of which were memorable - and somewhat Vulgarian. Like the night he and Dave Huntsman went out in Dave's VW to try out John's new small caliber pistol. After attempting to shoot out a few street lights, John accidentally fired a round into his calf and refused to go to the emergency hospital fearing the required police report. Later, Dave forced him to seek treatment. Then there was the night at a small gathering in Dave's home. John was challenged to an arm wrestling contest with a complete stranger at the kitchen table. After many seated minutes of stress and strain without an apparent winner, the two adversaries, still locked in combat, rose to their feet and fell across the kitchen table breaking the table's legs and careened into the matching chairs doing irreparable damage to them also. It took three of us to pry them apart and three years for Mary Huntsman to forgive him.
It was in the early 70s that John's profession became more important than his passion and after his second marriage to an assistant district attorney, he quit engineering and the sciences to become lawyer himself. A few years of individual practice tending to needy clientele and he realized he could not afford the profession. He quit law and returned to science. We remained distant friends for the next 41 years until his death in 2005.
Though not an exceptional climber, John was an exceptional person. He was an engineering physics graduate from Columbia University, a champion collegiate Greco-Roman wrestler, and a fierce liberal - politically and socially. He had the strength of an ox and intelligence bordering on genius. He could overhaul automobile engines as casually as he discussed celestial mechanics. He was conversant in the calculus of variations, a connoisseur of fine wines, and generous to a fault.
I'm relating this to you because, although few people have heard the name John (Jack) Hansen in connection with climbing or mountaineering, after all these years, I discovered something about John that he never shared with me – something that should be known. Something that should be part of climbing history.
Most of us that climb, or have climbed, have heard of the "Vulgarians" – the outrageous Shawangunk climbing cabal of the late 50s and early 60s. Here's a little history from the gunks.com website - an excerpt from a conversation in August of 2004 with Dick Williams, one of the early Vulgarians and one of the many reputable climbers to come out of the Gunks:
Dick Williams - So, that particular morning we were all at the base of Never Never Land and [Jim] McCarthy is trying to do the direct finish. So anyway he's up there - I don't think I'd ever belayed anybody before - it was my first time, so I'd been watching some people belay and they'd belay over the shoulder with the rope under your armpit, like this, you know.
Interviewer - Wow.
Dick Williams - And Jim's about to do this final bit and he looks down and he sees how I'm belaying. And he says, "You don't belay someone my weight like that." I said, "Ok." and just dropped the rope. "If you don't like it, get somebody else to do it." Everyone goes racing to the rope. Jack Hansen gets a hold of the rope and puts him on belay. Jack Hansen was the guy who coined the phrase, "the Vulgarians" - he gave us that name.
Interviewer- He puts him on hip belay, right?
Dick Williams - Body belay, yeah. So Jim goes up, sure enough he falls and that big tree that's there now was just a little sapling and the rope was behind it and it really broke the thing. John didn't let any rope go through his hand - he probably [held] about a 30-footer.
So now you know what it took me 41 years to find out. Not only was Hansen a Vulgarian, John Hansen was the "original" Vulgarian.

Thanks CK, very good read as usual.
Thanks CK, very good read as usual.
Great write up CK.
I'm gonna disagree with you on Bell, for the simple fact that he may not be an INT machine . . . but he IMO is a playmaker and always has been one. Even when he was a dime back and special teams guru . . . we would get a turnover on special teams and Bell would be the one that caused it, or even now in the secondary, he makes key strips and big tackles. He IMO is a great SS, who also has decent coverage skills . . . better than a Roy Williams in coverage IMO. Catching interceptions can be contagious . . . and maybe the Yeremiah will get in on the action . . . but there is no question that he is the leader of this secondary, and they play better when he is in there. Those intangibles are important.
I fully agree with you on Clady, he may not have given up the sacks . . . but Joey was giving him fits . . . and he was getting pressure and Cutler felt that pressure and turned it over 3 times. Still a great pick for the Bronco's and a very impressive LT, but I'll keep Big Jake.
I was SUPRISED that we threw Jason Allen on Brandon . . . in man coverage . . . that is amazing confidence in a kid who obviously was in the dog house earlier this year . . . but he has looked tremendous since being thrown in there and just like last year, the secondary seems to play better when he is in there. U can't stick him on a #1 yet, but he has the skills and talent to matchup against the best WR's . . . he has gotta get used to playing CB . . . but its good to see him out there.
This home stand we have comming is gonna be huge . . . 2 very winnable games comming up . . . then we get New England at home . . . which may be for the division lead. Get it going Dolphins . . . u got alot of people smiling hard right now.
Thank you CK, great post! I think your assessment is spot on. Appreciate the time you take to keep us informed. Go Dolphins!!!
Hey Ck,
There were a couple of important points that i'm glad you brought up. First off, i couldn't agree more about the game ball. Sure Goodman didn't really have any stats (Allen had the pic-6, Culver & JA had INT's) but the bottom line is, for a strong part of the game, Goodman shut Marshall down. He did the same thing in the 4th quarter last week against Lee Evans.
I'm also getting extremely frustrated by the fact that Bell can't make a catch. To be perfectly honest with you, i thought Bell had a dissapointing game overall against Denver.
Also to your point, Ronnie NEEDS to stop thinking out there. It should have come second nature by now but he just doesn't seem to want to hit the holes. Also, he needs to change his cleats. He was all over the place yesterday. And for the love of god, can we stop running the sweep with Ronnie? He is far too indicisive to make it work.
A couple of points i'd like to bring up:
1. Crowder still hasn't learned about angles. On a couple of occasions again yesterday i watched him take a terrible angle and got burned in the process. Maybe we were completely spoiled all these years with Zach but its still very frustrating to watch.
2. We need a solid coverage LB in this year's draft. Watching Hillis run all over us was a clear indication that we can't cover the big man.
3. ST killed us once again. Had we lost that game, the Royal return would have been the starting point for our collapse.
4. We've complained for 3 years now that Will Allen can't catch, now he has INTs in back to back games.
5. If Fergie goes down, we are completely screwed. The man is our saviour out there. Our entire gameplan revolved around Ferguson being able to stop the run.
6. This stat is frightening... we have not seen a Non-Joey Porter sack since week 3!!! We need to get more pressure to the QB. Vonnie would have had one last night but was held instead.
Oh yea, Shout out to Justin Smiley . . . . BEAST, damn imagine this line with Donald Thomas right about now.
Great read, Goodman is playing lights out. Watched the game again on Tivo last night and Goodman should get the game ball.
Also Bell isn't an int machine but he is always around the ball, making hits and disrupting passes. I think he played a great game even if he can't catch a ball.
Agree we need a strongside linebacker. Overall besides Porter our other three are just average ora little above.
I'm having questions about Satele. He seems to get pushed back most running plays.
Bench Henne - CHECK/UNCHECK/CHECK/UNCHECK
Fire Henning - CHECK
Fire Sparano - Extended - WTF???
FIRE OR DEMOTE IRELAND - Extended -
Fire David Lee - CHECK
Fire Darren Rizzi
And last, thanks Mr. Parcells and Ross for screwing up my team
1-07-2011: Not renewing my season tickets
Great post CK!! Always appreciate your insights on whats happening with this team.
Broncos cornerback Karl Paymah said the team's defensive plan was designed to limit the Dolphins' run game, double cover Miami receiver Ted Ginn and try to force Dolphins receiver Greg Camarillo to beat them.
"We wanted to stop the run, so we had to give up some stuff," Paymah said. "We wanted to double (Ginn); he was doubled. . . . What we were going to give up were like the short outs and stops. That's not going to beat you, that's not what beat us.
These are games that we would wind up losing by 3 last year in a heartwrenching fashion. The new regime has righted the ship and finding ways to win these games!
I Love JESUS CHRIST

You guys can laugh all you want when I post this, but Im not pulling the plug on this season just yet. Lets take a look at what lies ahead......
at 9ers
at NE
Face it. NE is beatable. They almost lost to both the Jests and the Bills. NE's defense is a joke. We will have an opportunity to beat them.
If this team can get it together and start playing well again, it isnt quite over. I know this, if we win the next 2 games, we will be 6-6 and NE will be 8-4 at best. You guys will be talking about the possibilities of winning the division.
Now, obviously to win the divison we will have to go 5-1 over these last 6 games. While that seems impossible the way we have played the last 2 games, just try and realize that if our OL pulls its head out of its ass and Tannehill steps it up a bit, it is certaily possible to pull off.
The Jags and Bills are terrible. We play them at home. Seattle is not the same team on the road that they are at home. If we get back to playing the way we were a few weeks ago, we could win that game. Ive already stated how NE is beatable. And yea, the 9ers are tough, but they just tied in SF against a team we beat. So its not impossible.
Look, if we can pull off 9-7, considering we will likely beat NE twice in that process, that means they would only have to lose 2 other games of their other 5 remaining in order to fall to 9-7 themselves. This is our only path. 9-7 will not get us a WC, because again, not only would going 9-7 mean sweeping NE, they would have to win 10 for that to throw us in the WC mix and its likely 9 wins wont get a WC. So winning the division is are only possible way in.
Face it, the AFC east is WEAK. Its still possible. If we come home and beat Seattle, that can change the momentum. Beating NE the next week I promise would have all of you talking about how its possible we are 8-7 and playing a 9-6 NE team in week 17 for the division. 2 games in a row to get us back in it. Lets do this ****!
Hell, NE could easily lose to Indy this week. Who else is left on their schedule? I can promise there isnt a game that should be considered a gimmie for them. They lost at home to Arizona. They play almost every game close because their defense is so bad. We can beat them. Its just a matter of guys getting it together and playing well.
Get the run game going and get Tannehill back on track and this is not over. Laugh all you want. Go ahead. Im not guaranteeing anything. Im not even saying its likely. I know it isnt. Im just saying it isnt over. If we lose next week you can close it down. But, until we lose one of the next 2 games, Im not throwing in the towel.

Short On Dollars, Venezuela Tries To Halt Black-Market Trading
Originally published on Mon March 24, 2014 9:45 pm
The Venezuelan capital, Caracas, can be one of the most expensive cities in the world — or one of the cheapest. It all depends on how you exchange your dollars.
At a fast food restaurant in the city recently, a pretty tasty plate of chicken and rice cost me 160 bolivars. At the official exchange rate set by the government, that works out to a little more than $25; at the black market rate, it's just $2.
Needless to say, most anyone who can change money on the black market in Venezuela does so.
As one person told me: "For people like me [who are] paid in dollars ... it is easier and better to change your dollars in the black market where the price is higher, and the ways are much easier than the official ways."
He didn't want his name used because changing money on the black market can come with a six-year jail sentence.
In most countries, you change your dollars for the local currency at a price the market deems fair. In Venezuela, the government fixed the price at 6.3 bolivars to the dollar. But the black market said that price is ridiculously low. Recently, 1 U.S. dollar in Venezuela could get you up to 90 bolivars.
The rate has come down since then. Reuters reports that the black market rate was about 58 bolivars to the dollar on Monday, the same day that the government introduced a new exchange system.
The exchange rate is just one example of the economic crisis that has prompted weeks of unrest in Venezuela. Many basic goods have been in short supply, and inflation has been running at more than 50 percent under President Nicolas Maduro, who champions a socialist economy, as did his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez.
How Do You Get Dollars?
At a Caracas cafe, a student named Andrea told me that crime, the lack of opportunities, and political tension are the reasons she wants to leave Venezuela and study abroad. She's headed to the U.S. if she can get dollars from the bank at the official rate to pay for her tuition.
But the Venezuelan government and the banks don't want to part with the dollars they have, so it is incredibly hard for people like Andrea to get them. And buying dollars on the black market would be exorbitantly expensive.
She pulled out a 34-page document. First, she said, you have to apply online. Then you need to get all these documents together, get them certified and in some cases translated, and make three copies to present to the bank.
Among the papers she has to provide is her class schedule, her mother's birth certificate, her school diploma, a letter explaining her reason for leaving the country, and on and on. It takes weeks to get the information together, and there is a limit to how many dollars she can apply for.
One document she needs is a copy of her airplane ticket, which she has purchased. But she says that unless she gets the dollars, she won't be able to afford the trip. Many people don't get the dollars they've asked for, and aren't told until the very last minute.
Because the government has set an artificially low price for U.S. dollars, everyone who needs them wants to buy from the government — but the government doesn't have enough to go around, because the demand is so high.
Huge Demand
All Venezuelans doing business with the outside world want these cheap dollars.
Let's say you're a Venezuelan businessman who needs to import goods from Miami. You need dollars to pay for the shipment, but the government won't give you any. What do you do?
I went to a dark shop that sells clothing off a main shopping street in the capital. The owner here is also a money changer. In fact, most businessmen you meet in Caracas are constantly trying to buy dollars.
One businessman told me he had never been able to get money at the official rate from the banks despite numerous applications — which means the only way to get dollars is to trade them in.
But in the illegal, secretive black-market system, how do you determine the price of a dollar? The owner at the store whips out his computer and looks at dolartoday.com. This particular website has had many names and incarnations, but it's the one people go to now to get the black-market rate for dollars in Venezuela.
And this is where it gets really weird: Venezuela's economy — what people all over the country are buying and selling pegged to the dollar — is determined though a murky website run out of Miami.
Venezuelan economist Robert Balsa, who teaches at the Catholic University in Caracas, says the website makes its calculation by looking at the dollar reserves the Venezuelan government has and the rate being used by traders in the Colombian border city of Cucuta.
He says what's so shocking is that this calculation should serve as the basis for so many transactions. And, he adds, it's all because the government's policy means that Venezuelans can't get the dollars they need at the official rate.
As Venezuela's government launched the new official currency exchange system on Monday, the rate was fluctuating between 50 and 55 bolivars to the dollar. But few people were buying at that rate, Reuters reported.
Still, the black market is taking notice — that's well below the recent high of 90 bolivars to the dollar.
Venezuela rolled out a new currency exchange system today to help rein in the black market for American dollars. NPR's Lourdes Garcia-Navarro reports that the country's currency controls are behind many of its economic problems.
LOURDES GARCIA-NAVARRO, BYLINE: Caracas can either be one of the most expensive cities in the world or the cheapest depending on how you change your dollars.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: So I'm at a restaurant - fast food, nothing fancy - here in Caracas. I've just ordered a pretty tasty plate of chicken and rice. And it's costing me 160 bolivares - that's the Venezuelan currency. Now, at the official exchange rate, what the government and banks want you to change at, the price is just over $25. But at today's black market rate, it's just two bucks. So needless to say, anyone who can does change money on the black market in Venezuela.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: And, for example, for people like me, I get paid in dollars, so it is easier and better to change your dollars in the black market where the price is higher and ways are much easier than the official ways.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: That's a friend. He doesn't want me to use his name because changing your money on the black market in Venezuela can lead to up to a six-year jail sentence.
This is the way the currency controls here work. In most countries, you come with your money and you can change it for the price the market deems fair. In Venezuela, up until now, the government has fixed the price. It says one dollar is worth 6.3 bolivares. But the market, in this case the black market, has said that price is ridiculously low. And recently, one dollar in Venezuela could get you up to 90 bolivares. It's a huge difference.
Now it's clear what you should do if you have dollars. But what if you want dollars?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: At a cafe in the capital, we meet Andrea. She's a student with long hair that falls down her back and tight jeans.
ANDREA: (Foreign language spoken)
LOURDES GARCIA NAVARRO, BYLINE: She tells me that crime, the lack of opportunity, the political tension are the reasons she wants to leave Venezuela and study abroad. She's headed to the U.S. if she can get dollars from the bank at the official rate to pay for her tuition and expenses.
ANDREA: (Foreign language spoken)
NAVARRO: Unless you are a multimillionaire, she says, you can't buy dollars on the black market to pay for your U.S. education. It becomes crazy expensive, she says. But to get those U.S. dollars legally is incredibly hard. She brings out the folder.
ANDREA: (Foreign language spoken)
NAVARRO: It's a binder and inside it has 34 pages. First, she says, you have to apply online. Then you need to get all of the documents together, get them certified, in some cases translated, make three copies to present to the bank. Among the papers she has to provide, her class schedule officially translated into Spanish, her mother's birth certificate, her school diploma certified, a letter explaining her reason for leaving the country and on and on.
It takes weeks to get the information together. And there is a limit to how many dollars she can apply for, and she won't know if she gets them until right before she travels. Many, if not most people, have their applications refused. So this is the situation. Because the government has set this really low price for the dollar, everyone who needs dollars wants to buy from the government.
But the government doesn't have enough dollars to go around because the demand for them at that low price is so high. Think about who wants them. Business people who are importing goods, students like Andrea who are traveling, pretty much anyone who is doing any business with the outside world, which drives everyone to the black market.
But in this secret illegal black market system, how do you determine what the price of the dollar really is? And this is where it gets really weird. Venezuela's entire economy, where people all over the country are buying and selling pegged to the dollar on the street, is determined though a murky website of uncertain provenance run out of Miami, pegged to what people are doing in a Columbian border town.
It's called DollarToday.com and it's had many incarnations over the years. Venezuelan economist Roberto Balsa teaches at the Catholic University in Caracas. He says the website makes its calculations by looking at what dollar reserves the government of Venezuela has and how much traders in the Colombian border city of Cucuta are trading dollars to bolivar is at.
ROBERTO BALSA: (Foreign language spoken)
NAVARRO: He says, what is so shocking is that this calculation should serve as a reference between people in Venezuela. He says this weak calculation is the result of the government's economic policy, the fact that people can't get the dollars they need at the official rate.
In response to that very problem, Venezuela's government has announced that it has launched the new official currency exchange system that will allow, it says, the market to determine the price of dollars. There have been several other attempts at this before and it's not yet clear how it will work, how many dollars will actually be available and at what price.
Still, the black market is taking notice, from a high of about 90, the street value of the dollar has plunged in anticipation of the new currency controls. Lourdes Garcia Navarro, NPR News.

Family Safety groups many websites into categories that are designed to save parents time. Some examples of categories are: Child-friendly, Social networking, and Adult content. Instead of entering individual websites on the Allow or Block lists, parents can rely on categories to control what children can see. If the parent chooses a web filtering setting that blocks a website category, the child won't have access to sites in that category.
Although Family Safety uses the latest technology, no system of this type can be 100% accurate. Web filtering is an evolving technology that might sometimes categorize a website differently than a parent or site publisher thinks it should. If a parent or a website publisher thinks that a site should have been blocked or allowed, but it wasn't, they can report this to the Family Safety team.
Websites are categorized initially by computer analysis and then the results are verified by human reviewers. If a website is popular and its content is stable, its address will be stored on the computer in a content rating list. If a website isn't popular enough to have an entry in this list, or the content on the website changes frequently, Family Safety checks with a content rating service to determine the category of the site.
The content rating service evaluates websites based on a set of rules. The service tells Family Safety that either:
A website belongs to a particular category (such as adult websites).
The website is a general interest site and doesn't belong to a category.
The website is unknown, and the service can't categorize it with a high enough confidence level.

A convenient recipe for the busy cook. This is so much easier than classic stuffed cabbage- but we think that it tastes just as good! Do try it and let us know what you think!
1 1/2 to 2 pounds lean ground beef or turkey1 tablespoon oil1 large onion, chopped1 clove garlic, minced1 small cabbage, chopped2 cans (14.5 ounces each) diced tomatoes1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce1/2 cup water1 teaspoon ground black pepper1 teaspoon sea salt
Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Saute the onions until tender, then add ground beef (or turkey) until the meat is browned.
Add the garlic and cook an additional minute before adding the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce the heat and simmer about 25 minutes (or until the cabbage is quite fork tender).

Recipe: Kosher, meat or poultry

DUBLIN – Ireland's surprise discovery this month of horsemeat traces in factory-produced burgers is boosting business for one trade: Forensics labs that use DNA fingerprinting to tell you what's on your plate.
Horsemeat, which costs a fraction of beef, might not be bad for you to eat but it's definitely bad for sales of products that are labeled as beef.
Until now, supermarkets and food processors have not used DNA testing to determine whether food products marked as chicken, pork, beef, lamb or fish contain bits of other animals. Experts say that's because such findings don't affect food safety, only the integrity of labeling.
But a growing list of food processors and retailers say they will introduce such testing after the Food Safety Authority of Ireland — seeking to confirm whether food labels on meat and fish are accurate — used DNA testing to show that even "pure" processed meat products often contain traces of other animals slaughtered in the same facilities or carried in the same vehicles.
Worse, the agency's testing found that bargain-brand burgers produced at the Silvercrest food processing plant for sale by British supermarket king Tesco contained up to 29 percent horsemeat, a revelation that government and Silvercrest officials have pinned this week to a meat supplier from Poland.
atherine Brown, chief executive of Britain's Food Standards Agency, told London lawmakers on Wednesday that the undisclosed Polish firm supplied frozen blocks of offcuts — slaughterhouse leftovers — that were labeled as "beef trim" but actually were a mixture of cow and horse.
Brown said consumers in Britain and Ireland may have been eating horsemeat-heavy burgers for up to a year.
And compounding that impression, another British supermarket chain, the Co-operative Group, announced Wednesday its own DNA testing had found 17.7 percent horsemeat in one of 17 burger products pulled from its shelves earlier this month as a precaution. It blamed Silvercrest and immediately severed its supply contract with the company.


text: Since the economic nosedive sent traditional print journalism into crisis mode, the health and future of culture and arts journalism has been a topic of serious concern, especially in the arts community. The Philadelphia Inquirer, for example, had a twenty percent profit margin in 2000 but by 2012 it had lost seventeen million dollars. These statistics were shared by Bill Marimow, Editor of the Inquirer, at a recent panel discussion, "Plotting the Future of Cultural Journalism" held at WHYY's Hamilton Commons. Marimow said that newspapers have yet to find a sustainable business model in the current economic climate which includes ... More » »

I expect the overall wiki style to evolve over time, especially during this initial shakedown period, and having multiple examples "in the wild" is a good way to get people moving and engaged if one way or the other appeals to them more and really figure out what works and what doesn't.

This just dawned upon me as I'm watching the news.
Every time I watch the news, I see "Peace" protests ending in violence and/or several arrests......and "Pro Action" demonstrations going along smoothly. "Pro Action" demonstrations seem to be the more peaceful of the two.
Also, did it ever occur to these peace protesters that sitting in the middle of a busy city street(s) might piss off everyone else who ISN'T protesting (on both sides of the fence)?? I don't care what you're protesting about. If you get in my way, I'm going to want to run you over. Rush hour sucks enough as it is.
I'm telling you, one of these massive Communist...I mean Peace protests is going to end very badly. And I mean worse than the one in San Francisco.

Patricia Ward, a logistics management specialist at the Navy Yard, said she heard a series of shots, at least seven, in rapid succession.
"A few of us just ran outside the side exit," Ward said.
Outside the building she saw a security guard with her gun drawn who told them to run and shelter.
Ward said the building has security.
"You need a card to enter the building. It's very hard to get in without a card," she said.
"Being with the incident that happened today, not secure enough for me," Ward said.
Frank Putzo, an attorney at the Navy Yard, told ABC News affiliate WJLA-TV he was on the fourth floor of the building when the shooting began.
"We heard three sounds, it sounded like a table collapsing on the ground," he said.
He said he came out of his office and heard a "very loud pop" about a minute later that he estimated was about 100 feet away.
"When that happened everyone said, 'This is no drill, go, go, go,'" he said. "And a whole bunch of us were able to make it to the emergency exits. And we heard several more shots."

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Articles & Videos by Dominic Devito Kicker CompVR subs let you kick out the jams without tearing a hole in your wallet. These subs handle plenty of power, and get their fierce sound from tough, injection-molded polypropylene cones with reliable Santoprene surrounds. The unique SoloKon cone with its 360-degree back bracing keeps going strong when the bass gets heavy, while perimeter venting in the strong steel basket keeps the voice coils cool for dependable performance. The 10CVR104 10" sub sports dual 4-ohm voice coils that give you more wiring options when setting up your system. The sub's cool-looking black finish highlights the potent low end you'll hear and feel. Boat owners: Kicker certifies the CompVR subs for marine use, so you can generate some serious bass waves out on the water. Note: If you are wiring this DVC sub for lower impedance, make sure that your amp is compatible. Most car amplifiers are stable down to 2 ohms in standard mode, or 4 ohms in bridged operation.

A component sub is simply a speaker that's designed to reproduce bass once it's installed in a compatible enclosure. Think about the impact of a movie soundtrack in a big theater or even in your own home HDTV setup. A component sub can add the same kind of power to the music in your car. And a car sub is not all about the boom that you hear on a street corner (although that's cool too) - you can pair a component sub with your choice of enclosure to get bass just the way you like it, from tight and punchy to fat and loose. And once you experience music in your car with a well-tuned subwoofer, you'll never go back.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This sub is great, and if you have a 2 ohm stable amp, you can run both voice coils in a parallel circuit and get alot of power out of this sub. I'm very happy with this product and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for great hard hitting bass at a resonable price. Pros: Love the wire connections, the rugged construction, and looks great, especially with a kicker grill cover on it. Cons: This sub is so well designed, that you have to play it for a couple of weeks before the suspension breaks in enough to start getting the full benifits out of it.

When the voice coils are wired in parallel, the woofer presents a 2 ohm load. When the voice coils are wired in series, the woofer presents an 8 ohm load. In addition, each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel and each channel will see a 4 ohm load. Cone Design: The Comp VR's super-rigid injection-molded polypropylene cone features 360-degree back bracing to completely eliminate flex and distortion. Surround: The optimized ribbed Santoprene surround allows extended cone excursion for additional bass output and higher SPL. The surround is double-stitched to the cone to add a mechanical fastener to the chemical adhesives. This prevents the cone and surround from separating in the harshest conditions. Spiralead Tinsel Leads: The Comp VR features durable Spiralead tinsel leads, which are woven into the woofer's progressive-roll polycotton spider, for added strength and reliability. Basket and Motor Assembly: The strong steel basket features perimeter venting to help cool the high-temperature voice coil wires and prevent breakdown. The overall motor structure design is based on technology found in Kicker's flagship Solo-Baric line of subwoofers, and allows the sub to handle more power and take more abuse. The high-mass solid pole piece removes potentially damaging heat. Speaker Terminals: The spring loaded, nickel-plated terminals provide solid connections for speaker wire up to 8 gauge. Single banana plugs and pin connectors will also fit. Break-in Period: Due to the complex nature of Kicker Comp VR speakers, they require a break-in period in order to produce optimum low-bass response. The high-performance suspension system makes the speaker very stiff out-of-the-box. Approximately 2 weeks of daily playing will allow the suspension to break-in and reach its optimum equilibrium. A broken-in subwoofer will exhibit stronger bass performance, smoother response, and greater low-bass extension. Rubber Magnet Boot: A black rubber boot covers the outside edge of the magnet structure to improve the cosmetics of the woofer and protect the magnet during installation. Enclosure Compatibility Power Handling: The power handling specifications differ according to the type and size of the enclosure. The power handling specifications assume that both voice coils are in use. Note: Both voice coils in a dual voice coil speaker should always be connected. Recommended Sealed Box Volume: Compact (minimum enclosure volume): 0.8 cu/ft; the woofer can handle up to 400 watts RMS (200 watts per voice coil) SQ (maximum enclosure volume): 3.0 cu/ft; the woofer can handle up to 300 watts RMS (150 watts per voice coil) Recommended Vented Box Volume: Compact: 1.25 cu/ft; 2" x 10.5" port opening; 20" port depth; the woofer can handle up to 300 watts RMS (150 watts per voice coil) SQ: 1.75 cu/ft; 2.5" x 10.5" port opening; 20" port depth; the woofer can handle up to 300 watts RMS (150 watts per voice coil) Our Product Research Team At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.

CI Legends
Due to several requests, I'm killing two birds with one stone. This review is going to be long, so please stick with me here.
CI Legends has turned into a vicious monster with razor sharp claws and long, pointy teeth. In the beginning, we asked 4 of the world's most recognized premium cigar makers to compete for the best $5 handmade. A blend of their choice rolled into a nice, 5.75" x 54 shape. Since this time, 4 more top manufacturers have created a blend that, we as a whole feel, fits the mold of this enormous CI Legends project.
The latest Legends have landed. Submissions by two manufacturers positioned on opposite ends of the cigar world spectrum, La Aurora and Drew Estate. One, the oldest cigar factory in the Dominican Republic, a name known for creating some of the world's finest traditional cigars in the world. The other, a factory bubbling over with creativity and originality that, within just over 10 years in the business, has grown famous for its combination of old world traditions with unconventional tobaccos and unchartered blending processes.
Right off the bat, I am going to tell you that I enjoy these cigars. Think about it, if we didn't like them, we wouldn't have added them to the series. It took months filled with countless samples to finalize these submissions. And, in addition to rejecting plenty of samples from these manufacturers, others have sent promising hopefuls that didn't make the cut. Legends is a roaring success, we want to keep it that way.
Legends La Aurora
As expected, La Aurora's submission is a solid mild to medium-bodied cigar, with a little more emphasis on the medium side of things. It opens with a creamy, chewy burst that, thanks to the dark Nicaraguan wrapper, slowly molds into a rich, smooth smoke. A blend of Corojo, Dominicano Cubano Piloto and Nicaraguan tobaccos (all from 2001) offer a woodsy flavor and aroma riddled with spice, while the toothy maduro-like wrapper leaves behind a pleasant sweetness after each puff. As per the usual, performance is not a factor. La Aurora is a finely tuned machine when it comes to quality control. Slow, straight burns, consistent flavor and easy draws are commonplace, and this soothing cigar is yet another example of the factory's prowess.
Legends Drew Estate
Throw all assumptions out the window. Once people hear Drew Estate, they think one of two things, 1) I love their stuff or 2) ick, flavored! Wake up, Drew Estate does not make flavored cigars, and saying so in the presence of Jonathan himself could cost ya a limb. In my eyes, it's safe to say that Drew's submission is one of his best creations to date, as it seems to be a fusion of Kahlua, Natural and traditional cigars all rolled into one relaxing smoke. The tobaccos incude a Connecticut shade leaf grown in Ecuador, while the long-filler combination employs Dominicano Cubano Piloto and Nicaraguan leaves. Silky in appearance, this chestnut colored handmade is extremely creamy in character. There's a little bit of pepper throughout, complementing the subtle, hazelnut-like sweetness. As expected, the aroma is nothing short of luxurious. Sweet, enjoyable and only evident while the cigar is burning – no, you will not notice an ACID or Natural-esque aroma after opening the box, which also puts the creativity of Drew Estate on display.
