by Niki Segnit

The Flavor Thesaurus: A Compendium of Pairings, Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook by Niki Segnit
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I love this book. It is part cookbook, part food history, part a glimpse into the head of the author. I had it checked out (from my library) but by page 25 I knew I needed to own it. If you like food read this book!
I say I have finished this book because I have read every page but I think It will be awhile before I am ready to put it on the cookbook shelf. In a spare moment I pick it up and look through it or wonder if this flavor and that will go together and I check this book.
Excellent source of ideas and inspiration. If you have one or two ingredients but no inspiration about what to do with them, you will probably find something here.
Probably most useful if you already have a pretty good idea about basic cooking techniques, but I think beginning cooks can use it too.
A very well written, innovative and extremely useful book. Very highly recommended for anyone who's interested in food.
A very useful reference, particularly for inspiring fresh combinations. Something like carrots and cumin is widely recognised but strawberry and tomato? That was a revelation!
I cannot even begin to express my passion for this book. I saw it a friend's house and was instantly overcome with covetousness. I got a copy for myself ASAP and read it straight through, like a novel. In fact, I was sorrier when this book ended than most of the new novels I'd read in the past five years. Many of the entries are like flash fiction, stories in miniature. Plus the sheer brilliant, arbitrary concept behind it. Why those flavors and not others? They reflect a British-with-global-outlook point of view. And why not? The wheel reminded me of premodern attempts to organize the world that look quaint to us now. Actually, this book gave me new respect for those ancient ways of organizing information--humans do work in intuitive ways that do not follow the strict lines of science. I was immensely gratified to find flavor combinations that I had already discovered though, on some level, thought I was odd for liking so much (e.g. carrot + juniper), and then found other combinations that I'd never thought of before that turned out to be sensational (asparagus + truffle, blackcurrant + almond, rhubarb + lamb, Sauternes + roquefort). One word of caution: I've found the proportions in the cake recipes to be unreliable. I'd suggest using the flavor combination but making a cake according to a recipe you already use.
Even if you know your 4,851 flavour pairings backwards to the point of ennui, or, conversely, have no intention whatsoever of cooking anything in your life, this is still a book that can be read for pleasure alone. It is as if she has made up her mind to do with her prose what her book invites us to do: to make combinations which both surprise and work.

Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0747599777, Hardcover)Ever wondered why one flavour works with another? Or lacked inspiration for what to do with a bundle of beetroot? The Flavour Thesaurus is the first book to examine what goes with what, pair by pair. The book is divided into flavour themes including Meaty, Cheesy, Woodland and Floral Fruity. Within these sections it follows the form of Roget's Thesaurus, listing 99 popular ingredients alphabetically, and for each one suggesting flavour matchings that range from the classic to the bizarre. You can expect to find traditional pairings such as pork & apple, lamb & apricot, and cucumber & dill; contemporary favourites like chocolate & chilli, and goat's cheese & beetroot; and interesting but unlikely-sounding couples including black pudding & chocolate, lemon & beef, blueberry & mushroom, and watermelon & oyster. There are nearly a thousand entries in all, with 200 recipes and suggestions embedded in the text. Beautifully packaged, The Flavour Thesaurus is not only a highly useful, and covetable, reference book for cooking - it might keep you up at night reading.

In this lively cookbook, Niki Segnit takes 160 popular ingredients and explores all the ways they might be combined in the kitchen. Including quirky observations and practical information, 'The Flavour Thesaurus' also includes hundreds of recipes for truly original culinary offerings.… (more)

Woman arrested in fundraising fraud in Phoenix
Wednesday on suspicion of use of a minor in a criminal syndicate, taking the
identity of another person, fraud scheme and forgery.
Her bond was set Thursday at $25,000. Pacheco doesn't have an attorney yet.
Pacheco allegedly paid teens to sell the fraudulent coupons in the name of the
organization Students Against Destructive Decisions.
Police said the coupon offers weren't authorized by the companies displayed.
The scheme unraveled when a teen tried to sell the fraudulent items to SADD's
Arizona director.
Police said Pacheco was found in possession of more than 80 coupon books that
displayed the SADD trademarked name and logo.

If Varona is blonde, and Shizuo isn't blond... but their biological child /is/ blonde? Having a head of gold is a recessive trait. Being dark-haired is a dominant trait. So wouldn't Kayumi have not-blonde hair? What's goin' on? owo (I hope this is meaningful. If it is, then Varona Shizuo never happened! :o)

| cshk chapter 7 . 7/5
God, you really updated this! You're a wonderful, wonderful person!
| Kajune chapter 7 . 7/3
You deserve a trophy for updating at all.
This was fun reading. I kind of like how Shizuo is homosexual and Izaya took advantage of that. Sad he's got a bitchy wife. I do wonder what his daughter will think finding out he's got a boyfriend. I wonder how kids think of homosexuality in general. O_o
Good story. I'll be looking forward to the next.
Take your time, humans aren't perfect. We shouldn't expect so much from each other. XP
Besides, no one is paying you to update, right?
| Guest chapter 7 . 7/2
HAHAHA, the afterword. Was it really three years? I only found this story recently, so I wouldn't know, but that's slightly ridiculous. I bet a ton of my stories will be on hiatus about three years, so I guess I don't have room to say anything... :)
| NS-Shizaya chapter 7 . 7/2
Omgggggggg the look on my face when I saw the update notification email I missed this so much glad to have you back!

This story is too cute! It burns my eyes to read such beauty. Even though I just recently started to read this story I'm so glad that even after 3 years you came back. I await the next chapter with intense excitment!
| Seriously Troublesome chapter 7 . 7/2
This chapter is awesome! I haven't reviewed because I was unsure about a lot of stuff but here I am! Izaya! (Cries and laughs) even if he's different from the one we know he's still that mind playing young man. I like how you differentiated them and yet made them have their similarities. I can't wait for the next chapter!
| DragonClaw827 chapter 7 . 7/2
:D Hey you updated! Thanks~ 'Twas a fun chapter.
| GuSiRuLi chapter 7 . 7/2
Well, that definitely was a surprise lmao
I'm glad for it though! I re-read all the chapters again to remember the story ad I still like it a 's adorableeeee!
Can't wait to see what happens between Shizu-chan and Izaya if you pick this up again hahah
Izaya is a little imp and i love him and that kiss was great.

By Roméo Dallaire and Philippe Lagassé. Published in Embassy Magazine, November 16, 2011. Canada and its NATO allies performed admirably during their recent intervention in Libya. They acted to prevent a predatory regime from potentially committing a mass atrocity; they addressed a challenge before it became an unmitigated crisis. Although a peace… Read More

Libya and Canada's Political Influence: A Different Perspective
Did Canada play a critical political role in relation to the Libya intervention? My colleague Roland Paris is skeptical. In an earlier post on this blog, he points out that Canada's political influence was secondary at best, since the Canadian government lost a bid to have a seat on the United Nations Security Council, which authorized and (ostensibly) s… Read More

Currently 1.5 million people use their system and it enables them to process at a minimum 50,000 clinical transactions a day. But one of the key features of the system is the point-of-care prompts.
Point of care is another area where payers may be looking to providers to work with them, says Van Wagner. The process is actually quite simple. When patient X arrives for any routine appointment, if there is another routine preventive care procedure needed, then the payer's system can prompt the provider to schedule it.
"Before medical loss ratio, payers had looked into this but they weren't all that interested. As soon as medical loss ratio regulation came out, however, they [payers] started to perk up and ask questions. Now there's a reason to participate and that's a good thing," says Van Wagner. "I view this as a nifty opportunity; we think the use of a point-of-care model is where there is the greatest return for the patient, and it's transforming how we do things."
Indeed point-of-care models do have the potential to be a very good thing for payers, providers and patients. It is certainly an idea that's long overdue (especially when you consider that the automobile industry has been manufacturing cars for nearly a decade that remind drivers to get routine maintenance). The takeaway in all of this for hospital and health system financial leaders is to remember that the MLR regulation has the potential to make your payer negotiations sour or sweet. It really depends on how willing you are to work with your payers to help them control their costs without cutting your reimbursements.
See next week's finance column for tips on MLR.

Vermont sugarmakers are reporting a range of results from the season this spring, with some saying they made half a crop, some saying three-fourths, and some saying production was average. Even so, because so many more people are sugaring and others who have always sugared have added more taps, Vermont's maple production is steadily climbing.
"You virtually have eight times the syrup that was produced 10 years ago," said Henry Marckres of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture. [Read more…]

Edwin Jackson, Roy Oswalt top free agents left
By C. Trent Rosecrans
With Prince Fielder finally off the market, we're officially in free-agent left-over time, with most of the big-name, big-money guys enjoying new contracts.
So, who is left? That's a good question. The best players available are starting pitchers -- with Edwin Jackson and Roy Oswalt leading the charge -- but in our free-agent tracker, only one position player (Derrek Lee) among the top 25 free-agent position players is available, while three top 25 pitchers remain (Jackson, Oswalt, Javier Vazquez).
Here's the best player -- and the rest -- among the remaining free agents at each position as we get closer and closer to spring training:
Catcher: Ivan Rodriguez. OK, he's a big name, a future Hall of Famer, but he's also 40 -- and a catcher. Rodriguez, 156 hits from 3,000, adjusted to being a backup catcher last season and it's the role he'll play if he can find a team for 2012.
Others available: Jason Varitek, Ronny Paulino, Ramon Castro, Jason Kendall.
First base: Derrek Lee. The 36-year-old finished the 2011 season in Pittsburgh and had a nice finish to the season, hitting .337/.398/.584 with seven homers in his return to the National League Central after struggling in Baltimore for most of the first half of the season. However, he did miss nearly a month after breaking a bone in his left wrist shortly after joining the Pirates. Lee could retire, CBSSports.com Insider Jon Heyman reported.
Others available: Casey Kotchman, Conor Jackson, Ross Gload, Russell Branyan.
Second base: Jeff Keppinger. The Giants non-tendered the 31-year-old infielder who struggled in his 56 games in San Francisco. Keppinger hit just .255/.285/.333 as the team's everyday second baseman, well off his career .281/.332/.388 line. Keppinger brings versatility with the ability to play any of the infield positions, and he's also played in the outfield. He could be a fit with the Mariners, Yankees or Rays.
Others available: Aaron Miles, Carlos Guillen.
Third base: Mark Teahen. Our top third baseman was recently released to make room for a 41-year-old relief pitcher, what does that tell you? The Blue Jays acquired the 30-year-old Teahen in three-team deal that sent Edwin Jackson and others to St. Louis and Colby Rasmus to Toronto. Teahen hit .200/.273/.300 with the White Sox and Blue Jays, playing both corner infield and outfield spots, in addition to handling some DH duties. Another positive is that he often tweets pictures of his two adorable boxers.
Others available: Eric Chavez, Bill Hall, Alex Cora.
Shortstop: Ryan Theriot. Theriot is versatile, with the ability to play pretty much anywhere on the field -- but he's best suited, defensively, to second base. He started the 2011 season as the Cardinals' starter at shortstop, but there's a reason the team went out to get Rafael Furcal. He hit .271/.321/.342 for the Cardinals last season, but at this point he's likely best suited as a utility player.
Others available: Edgar Renteria, Miguel Tejada, Felipe Lopez.
Outfield: Yoenis Cespedes. While we have J.D. Drew ranked higher, he's expected to retire soon, leaving the extremely talented Cespedes as the top available outfielder. Cespedes has just recently acquired citizenship in the Dominican Republic, so now the official courting of the Cuban center fielder can begin. The Marlins, of course, are said to be very interested, even if Cespedes is less interested in Miami. Both Chicago teams are said to have interest in him as well.
Others available: Kosuke Fukudome, Raul Ibanez, Juan Pierre, Magglio Ordonez, Corey Patterson, Rick Ankiel, Marcus Thames, Jeremy Hermida, Jay Gibbons, Milton Bradley.
Designated hitter: Johnny Damon. The 38-year-old Damon is hardly the prototypical slugging designated hitter, but he still has some value. Last season he hit .261/.326/.418 for the Rays with 16 home runs. He could be a fit in Detroit, where he hit .271/.355/.401 with eight home runs in 2010.
Others available: Hideki Matsui, Vladimir Guerrero.
Starting pitcher: Edwin Jackson. At 28, Jackson has already pitched for six different teams and could be looking at his seventh. With the White Sox and Cardinals, the hard-throwing right-hander went 12-9 with a 3.79 ERA in 31 starts and 199 2/3 innings. He struck out 148 batters while putting up a 1.437 WHIP. There are recent reports that he's willing to sign a one-year deal, and is drawing interest from the Tigers. He was 13-9 with a 3.62 ERA for Detroit in 2009.
Others available: Roy Oswalt, Javier Vazquez, Rich Harden, Jeff Francis, Brad Penny, Chris Young, Brandon Webb, Jon Garland, Livan Hernandez, Tim Wakefield, Scott Kazmir, Rodrigo Lopez, Kyle Davies, Ross Ohlendorf, Doug Davis.
Relief pitcher: Arthur Rhodes. Rhodes turned 42 during the World Series and still appeared in 51 games during the regular season and eight more in the postseason. The left-hander had a disappointing run with the Rangers after signing a two-year deal with Texas. But he returned as part of Tony La Russa's bullpen in St. Louis, earning his first World Series ring in his 19 years in the big leagues.
Others available: Chad Qualls, Brad Lidge, Dan Wheeler, Damaso Marte, Michael Wuertz, Zach Duke, Javier Lopez, Juan Cruz, Jason Isringhausen, Mike Gonzalez, Todd Coffey, Shawn Camp, Scott Linebrink, Hong-Chih Kuo, Jamey Wright, Chad Durbin, Brian Tallet, Hideki Luis Ayala, Micah Owings, Dan Cortes, Sergio Mitre, Tony Pena, David Aardsma, Pat Neshek, Danys Baez, Ramon Ortiz.

Errors didn't help, but neither did Greinke
By C. Trent Rosecrans
ST. LOUIS -- Among qualified starters during the regular season, no pitcher struck out more batters per nine innings than Zack Greinke, and just 11 pitchers had a higher percentage of swings and misses on their pitches than Greinke's 10.6 percent.
To say Greinke wasn't that pitcher in Game 5 of the NLCS on Friday is an understatement. He didn't record a strikeout and of the 89 pitches he threw, there were just two swings and misses by Cardinals batters. So instead of his season percentage that was better than Justin Verlander (10.2 percent), his 2.25 swing-and-miss percentage was closer to Elih Villanueva of the Marlins, and nearly a full percent less than the swing-and-miss rate recorded by Scott Kazmir. So as much as his fielders struggled behind him in the Cardinals' 7-1 victory, Greinke can shoulder plenty of blame himself.
"Wasn't a great game pitched for me," Greinke said afterward. "Made several mistakes that ended up costing us. They pitched a good game. Tough loss. Definitely could have done better and made it a better game. I made a couple tough mistakes."
Both of the swinging strikes came on fastballs, while his best out pitch, his slider went for 11 strikes, but none of them swings and misses.
No batter swung and missed at a pitch until Greinke's 68th pitch of the night, a 1-1 fastball to Matt Holliday in the fifth inning. Holliday hit his next pitch to shortstop for a hit. Greinke's next swinging strike was on his 88th pitch of the night, a 1-1 fastball to Albert Pujols in the sixth. Pujols blasted Greinke's next pitch into left for an RBI single.
"I don't think his slider was biting as it usually was tonight," Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy said. "He had velocity, but his movement wasn't there and it usually is on his slider. His best pitches are his slider and his fastball, and if his slider's not working, it takes away from his fastball."
Greinke's fastball averaged 93 mph and had a high of 95.4 mph, but the Cardinals weren't missing them. He still threw 18 sliders (20 percent), close to his usual percentage.
"The slider wasn't very sharp at all today," Greinke said. "I kind of wanted to get it up a little more and get some weak contact with it. I did that pretty good. But whenever I needed to get it down, I had some trouble doing that. The last pitch to Albert (Pujols) was a hanging slider, and if I get it down, it's probably a strikeout. You could say that several other times, where if I'd have gotten the slider down better, there'd have been better results."
In all, he allowed seven hits in 5 2/3 innings and five runs, although just two were earned. He actually lowered his postseason ERA to a pedestrian 6.48 -- hardly the type of production expected from a former Cy Young-winner who demanded out of Kansas City so he could pitch in playoff games. Now three games into his playoff career, he's not shown himself to be the level of Chris Carpenter, Roy Halladay or Cliff Lee, the top-line pitchers who also have proven themselves under baseball's brightest lights. And make no mistake, there were those who wondered how Greinke would fare under the glare of the postseason. While it's not appeared to be a mental block, his lack of production in the postseason will be an issue and concern until he proves he can pitch on this stage.
He didn't have help on Friday -- Jerry Hairston Jr. missed a grounder by Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia that allowed two runs to score, Corey Hart missed a ball in right field that produced St. Louis' first run, Rickie Weeks missed a tough over-the-shoulder catch in the fourth before commttin an error in the fifth and Yuniesky Betancourt's error in the sixth aided the Cardinals' final run off of Greinke. That's all true, but it's also true that Molina's double and Garcia's grounder in the second were both hit very hard. That's because Greinke wasn't fooling anybody, and like it or not, his reputation in the postseason will be based more on what he's done in his three starts this October than anything he's done in the past.

Rangers looking at Kazmir
By Matt Snyder
Former Angels pitcher Scott Kazmir has worked out for the Rangers this week, several media outlets are reporting. The talks have all been very preliminary, so no deal is imminent or anything.
"We've talked with him, doing our due diligence," GM Jon Daniels said in an email (Rangers Blog on Dallas Morning News). "Not sure if anything's going to come of it, but we try to look at every opportunity to see if someone can help us."
Kazmir's a two-time All-Star and once led the AL in strikeouts. He completely fell apart the past two seasons for the Angels, though. He was 9-15 with a 5.94 ERA and 1.58 WHIP last season. In 2011, he made only one major-league start -- lasting just 1 2/3 innings and allowing five runs -- before hitting the DL. He tried to make it back to the Angels after a rehab assignment, but he was so bad the Angels just released him. In five outings for Triple-A Salt Lake, Kazmir was 0-5 with a 17.02 ERA. He walked 20, hit six and uncorked six wild pitches in 15 1/3 innings.
Still, he was once one of the top young arms in the majors and he's only 27. There's no reason to refuse to give him a shot with a minor-league contract. It's a no-lose situation with possible upside.

Report: Moreno says no more spending
By C. Trent Rosecrans
Anaheim is hardly out of the American League West race, just three games behind leader Texas and 2 1/2 games behind second-place Seattle, but owner Arte Moreno has already told general manager Tony Reagins not to spend any more money this season, ESPNLosAngeles.com's Mark Saxon writes.
Saxon cites a "baseball source" as saying the Angels won't spend any more money for the rest of the season after eating what was left of Scott Kazmir's $14.5 million salary this season and taking on the albatross contract of .193-hitting Vernon Wells. Oh, and they're still paying Gary Matthews Jr. $12.4 million this season for a grand total around $140 million for the team's 2011 payroll.
The Angels can still make move, but they won't be able to take on any payroll, so a deal would have to be a wash financially or in the Angels' favor.
Reagins has shown a willingness to deal at the deadline in recent years. The Angels added Mark Teixeira in 2008 at the trade deadline and Kazmir a year later. Last year the Angels picked up Alberto Callaspo and Dan Haren for a stretch run.
The Angels could try to unload Joel Pineiro ($8 million) and Fernando Rodney ($5.5 million) in a search for more offense. They could also try to move Bobby Abreu, who has a vesting option worth $9 million for next season with another 147 plate appearances.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @cbssportsmlb on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Angels release Kazmir
By C. Trent Rosecrans
As expected, the Angels have released left-hander Scott Kazmir and will eat the rest of his $14.5 million contract for 2011, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times tweets.
The 27-year old made five rehab starts at Triple-A Salt Lake and went 0-5 with a 17.02 ERA and walked 20 batters in 15 1/3 innings. Tuesday night he lasted just 1 2/3 innings, giving up six runs on five hits and walking three. He made just one big-league start this season, giving up five runs and five hits in 1 /23 innings before going on the DL with back soreness.
Kazmir debuted at 20 for the Rays, but really made his mark the next few years for Tampa. From 2005-08, he went 45-34 with a 3.51 ERA, leading the league in strikeouts in 2007. He was traded to the Angels in 2009 for Sean Rodriguez, Alex Torres and Matt Sweeney.
With the Angels, Kazmir made 35 starts and went 11-17 with a 5.31 ERA. He was 9-15 with a 5.94 ERA last season.
At his age and with his talent, he'll certainly have several offers to sign minor-league deals around baseball, but he'll be a project -- even if the upside is enough to make it worthwhile for nearly any team.For more baseball news, rumors and analysis, follow @cbssportsmlb on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed.

Pepper: Danks discovers cut-fastball
Justin Verlander nearly pitched another no-hitter on Tuesday. NESN.com's Tony Lee joins Scott Braun on Baseball Today.
By Evan Brunell
NEW CUTTER: John Danks is finally on a roll, turning around his 0-7 start by winning his last two games. Danks pitched far better than his record indicated, but couldn't seem to figure things out and cited his cut fastball as one pitch he was struggling with.
"I play with grips a lot," Danks said. "My last game, I finally had a good one and was encouraged. Whenever I'm throwing a good one, I'm throwing it out front. That makes sense. I tend to not get on top of it and get around it, and it doesn't do anything for me. My focus is throwing it out front."
Danks is using a grip taught by batting practice pitcher Kevin Hickey and has also experimented with other grips, including Mark Buehrle's.
"I will continue to work on other grips in case I lose it in a game so I have something to fall back on," Danks said. (Chicago Tribune)
ALL JETER, ALL THE TIME: Nick Swisher, for one, is tired of the Derek Jeter hoopla. Here's his response to a question about Jeter after taking out the Rangers:
"We just played a great game and you ask me that? I don't even know exactly what happened. A strain? Well, obviously, everyone knows what he's going up for, and he's the captain, we're going to miss him a lot, but then again we're trying to pick up where he left off. Gardy did a great job leading off for us tonight. I know he's excited about the opportunity to lead off for a little bit. But definitely when he's ready, we'll be ready for him to come back. He's a great player, definitely an elite, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. The show goes on.'' (ESPN New York)
BEST PLAYER IN THE GAME: How did Jose Bautista come about to be one of the -- if not the -- best players in the game? This fantastic feature explains it all, and no, steroids aren't part of it. (Yahoo! Sports)
BLANK THE GOAT: Cubs players created a stir Monday when they revealed new team shirts that read "F--k the Goat!!!" Predictably, questions arose as to whether the Cubs players are tempting fate.
"I have news for you. When you take the field, nobody is thinking about the goat, whether they're wearing the T-shirt or not," manager Mike Quade said. (Chicago Tribune)
YOUNG MILESTONE: Michael Young is now the Rangers' all-time leader in games played after Monday, passing Rafael Palmiero with 1,574 games. (New York Times)
FASTEST MAN ALIVE: Tony Campana believes he's the fastest man in the league, and manager Mike Quade concurs. Wonder if Michael Bourn might take exception to that. (Chicago Tribune)
HATED: This may come as a surprise, but the Yankees are one of the most hated teams in the game. But has anyone ever wondered who the 10 most hateable Yankees are in Rangers history? Probably not, but now you know. (Dallas News)
CLOSER IN L.A.: It appears as if Javy Guerra is quickly grasping the Dodgers' closer role. The rookie has been getting more and more late-inning, high-leverage outings lately and appears to be de facto closer, even as manager Don Mattingly refused to put a label on Guerra. (MLB.com)
BARNEY HURT: Darwin Barney strained his right knee and will hit the disabled list for it. The second baseman leads all NL rookies in batting average with a .294 mark. (ESPN Chicago)
KAZMIR NEARING END? Scott Kazmir got raked once again in a minor-league rehab start, leaving him with a 17.02 ERA in 15 2/3 innings over five starts. It's likely that L.A. will now release Kazmir, who has a career 5.31 ERA with the Angels in 35 starts, one of the bigger busts in recent memory. (Los Angeles Times)
SECOND OPINION: Freddy Sanchez will receive a second opinion on his dislocated shoulder in the hopes of avoiding season-ending surgery. Sanchez is hoping to heal the shoulder on his own. (MLB.com)
SANDOVAL BACK: Pablo Sandoval was thrilled after his first game back from injury, saying he feels great and the surgery to repair his right wrist went well. The team, too, seems to be relieved that Sandoval has returned. (San Jose Mercury News)
GRANTED: Cole Hamels is one of the best pitchers on the field, but off the field he runs a charity that grants various amounts of money to Philadelphia schools to help them educate children in the face of budget cuts. (MLB.com)

Kazmir running out of chances for Angels
By Matt Snyder
Angels starting pitcher Scott Kazmir made a rehab start Thursday night for Triple-A Salt Lake and was, once again, pretty awful. He allowed six hits, five walks and five earned runs in just 3 2/3 innings. He even hit three batters with pitches. This was his fourth rehab start after spending quite a bit of time in extended spring training. He now has a 15.15 ERA, 2.49 WHIP and has walked 17 hitters in 13 2/3 innings. Again, this is in Triple-A.
The Angels may be running out of patience with Kazmir. Mike DeGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports that it's "just a matter of time" before the Angels just cut Kazmir and eat what's left of his $14.5 million contract for the season.
Kazmir, 27, made only one big-league start this season before being placed on the disabled list with back soreness. In that start, he lasted just 1 2/3 innings and coughed up five hits, five earned runs, two walks and two hit-by-pitches. He even balked, just for good measure.
The decline of Kazmir has been a bit amazing. From 2005-2008, he went 45-34 for mostly bad Rays teams with a 3.51 ERA and 1.35 WHIP. He struck out 9.7 batters per nine innings in that four-season span and looked destined for stardom, considering he was still in his early 20s. Last season, however, he was 9-15 with a 5.94 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. His strikeout rate dwindled all the way down to 5.6 per nine innings and his control -- which was always suspect -- has actually gotten worse.
Should the Angels cut Kazmir, he'll get another shot elsewhere. He's still too young to be completely given up on, but it would be hard to blame the Angels for just cutting their losses at this point.

Pepper: Could Teddy Roosevelt finally win?
By Evan Brunell
RUN, TEDDY, RUN: "Teddy Roosevelt" has never won one of the Presidents Races the Nats have held since arriving in D.C. Roosevelt is working on a losing streak of over 300 games, but that could change on Memorial Day.
Some major reasons it might change include Jayson Werth's surprising interest in the race. Werth has spoken before about how Roosevelt never gets to win and is disappointed by that fact. He's also been caught on camera disgusted when Roosevelt doesn't win the race. A bit odd, but the Nats have to pay attention to their face of the franchise, who is soaking up over $100 million of Ted Lerner's money. Maybe the Nats should give Roosevelt a victory to placate Werth.
"Roosevelt" tweeted after Sunday's race that he had "a good feeling" about the Memorial Day race, which will come as the Nats hold a fundraiser to benefit the military by allowing those who make a donation to Hike for Heroes to run the bases. It's as good a day as it will get for a changing of the guard, as the actual Teddy Roosevelt has a connection to both the military and Memorial Day. And since no other D.C. sports teams are active on Monday, a Roosevelt victory could land on the front page of the papers. Yes, really. (Washington Post)
VOTE FOR THE FAT MAN: GQ is pulling out a call to decide who the fattest baseball player of 2011 is. Named after Rich Garces, does Garces still deserve the mantle, or will someone like Jonathan Broxton carve out his own legacy? (GQ.com)
POSADA DONE: As a full-time player, that is. Manager Joe Girardi has chosen to permanently sit Jorge Posada against lefties, allowing him to rotate Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez in the DH spot, giving them essentially a half-day off. (Lohud.com)
CLOSING TIME: Ryan Franklin isn't giving up on an eventual return to the closer's role in St. Louis. He mopped up on Saturday with 2 2/3 scoreless innings, which represented a major step forward. Next up: Doing more of the same until he proves he can get batters out consistently. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
SANDS OF LEFT: The Dodgers' motley crew of left-fielders hasn't been up to snuff so far this season, but Jerry Sands is hoping to fix a position that has been in flux for L.A. for years with no long-term answer. GM Ned Colletti believes that Sands will be in left for years to come, but his slow start this season suggests he has a ways to go. (Los Angeles Times)
ROUGH RETURN: J.P. Howell, one of the Rays' best relievers over the last several years, is finding the going difficult after missing 2010 and a chunk of 2011 in his recovery from a torn left labrum. In 2 1/3 innings, he's posted an 11.57 ERA -- but that figures to change once Howell gets back into the groove. (St. Petersburg Times)
THE TRAVELS OF BRANYAN: Russell Branyan has been around, as his 11 teams in his career can attest. Check out Branyan's ride through a major-league career in photos. (Orange County Register)
SHELLED: Check out this box score from the Salt Lake Bees, the Angels' Triple-A affiliate. Notice who pitched -- Scott Kazmir, who fell to 0-2 with a 36.00 ERA by giving up 10 earned runs in 2 1/3 innings. Kaz's career has plummeted so far down the rabbit hole it's probably never coming back. (MiLB.com)
COBB TIME: Yet another heralded Rays prospect will hit the majors as Alex Cobb will replace Andy Sonnanstine in the rotation starting Tuesday. It's anyone's guess how long Cobb will stick, but Jeff Niemann isn't anywhere near a return from injury, so Cobb could pick up a few starts. (Tampa Tribune)

- Frank & Shanel, I received my ring last week and it is absolutely GORGEOUS. I love it. It is STUNNING. Thank you very much! Review by Lisa P. (Posted on 7/8/2014)
Two years ago, when my husband returned from Iraq, he offered to buy me a wedding ring to go with the engagement ring I already had. I looked into it and found out getting a custom made band for the ring I already had would cost as much as the higher carat weight engagement ring I had. It was never that comfortable anyway, so I started looking at vintage rings with comfortable bands. We found the perfect Art Deco era ring at Gesner for a very reasonable price.
It is comfortable and the old European cut diamond in the center is amazingly beautiful. I was impressed by the wide selection of vintage jewelry Gesner had to offer as well as pleased with the polite salestaff. I would highly recommend this store to anyone seeking vintage jewelry and a pleasant purchasing experience. Review by Amy B (Posted on 8/25/2013)
- I came across the Gesner website looking for antique engagement rings. Their online photos show the beautiful detail of the rings that are in-store. The ring that I purchased was exactly how it looked online. The staff was friendly and helpful. The jeweler did an amazing job sizing the ring. Thank you for the wonderful experience! Review by Amy M. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- I knew as soon as I got the ring it was perfect. I couldn't wait and proposed the same day. She said yes and loves the ring. She says it is perfect and exactly what she wanted. Thank you so much! We love it! Review by Nicholas M. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- We are beyond happy with our purchase. The set is even more beautiful in person and is exactly what we were hoping to have for our engagement ring: something unique and something with history; an antique ring with beautiful high quality stones. We had been searching online and in stores and we found the best selection to fit our needs and desires on your website. Every ring offered in those big named franchised jewelry stores looked exactly the same as one another. Review by Richard & Susan (Posted on 2/22/2012)
Thank you Gesner family for delivering a rare peace of mind and an approachable professionalism that is
hard to find anywhere. The Gesners' service and their one of a kind engagement ring proved to surpass all that everyone assured. By far the most pleasant transaction I have ever made...period. This review is more than an endorsement, it is a public service announcement to the next trembling bachelor trying to get the job done right when there is only one chance to do so. Review by Henry J. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
To the entire Gesner team,
I want to extend a very sincere thank you for all that you have done on my behalf. My diamond and ruby eternity ring is exquisite, made even more so by Valerie and Sherrie's enthusiasm, above and beyond customer service, attention to detail and patience as I worked my way through the myriad of decisions. Your jeweler has achieved a masterful level of his art and it showed stunningly in his work. I thank you also for the thorough appraisal. Review by Valerie J. (Posted on 6/12/2012)
- What a phenomenal experience! Great service, amazing options... My ring & band were sized right away... & I couldn't be happier! The ring is gorgeous, one of a kind! I am the luckiest girl in the world... Thank you Gesner! Review by Jessica S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)
- Thank you so much for being flexible with payment options, and for your great service during the process. I'm so happy we stumbled across you guys online, and will be constantly recommending you to friends and family going forward; for the rest of our lives, really, because everyone will want to know where we found this beautiful ring. We were first amazed at your great selection, warranty, and great 'extras' (lifetime sizing, etc), but were absolutely sold after the prompt and personal attention we received after making an offer on the ring. We both work in service and don't have much disposable income, but knowing and working in the industry gives us a deep appreciation for people and companies who take the extra time and care to make something like this work. Thank you again for curating a selection of such special products, and for taking such good care of us strangers from Michigan, we couldn't be happier to have found this ring. Review by Pete & Taylor (Posted on 5/1/2014)
- We buy all our jewelry from Gesner's. The most knowledgeable staff, the most reasonable prices, and the most fantastic pieces! Review by Mara S. (Posted on 2/22/2012)

A Real-Time Study of Homogeneous Nucleation, Growth, and Phase Transformations in Nanodroplets of Low Molecular Weight Isotactic Polypropylene Using AFM
ABSTRACT Nanodroplets of isotactic polypropylene (iPP) were observed using temperature-controlled AFM in order to study the polymer's crystallization behavior. The nucleation, growth, and transformation of iPP crystals on heating have been directly imaged. The strong confinement of the polymer into nanoscale droplets has allowed the controlled observation of polymer nucleation as well as access to crystal growth at exceptionally high supercooling in iPP. Different modes of crystal growth were observed depending on the film thickness, including the formation of multiple independent homogeneous nuclei within single droplets. The temperature at which the onset of nucleation was observed in individual droplets was found to be dependent on the thickness as well as the volume of the droplets. For droplets with smaller thicknesses (<5 nm), the thickness of the droplets was found to be the dominating factor influencing the nucleation temperature. This is the first real-space, real-time observation of homogeneous nucleation in iPP, almost 125 degrees C below its melting point, which could signify crystal growth in the smectic form, and of the subsequent reorganization into the a-form.

- "Their WAXS results indicate that the PP is crystallizing in a smectic phase within the nanodroplets. This type of crystallographic arrangement could be a consequence of the way the nanodroplets are prepared, since they come from the rupture and coalescence of nanolayers and therefore in agreement with the recent observation of Kailas et al. [38] who found similar results for droplets whose thickness were below 5 nm (see above). On the other hand, Arnal et al. [76] obtained PP droplets in the micron range (1e2 mm) in a PS matrix (by melt blending) and demonstrated by WAXS that the droplets crystallized in the typical a phase of PP, just as the bulk polymer. "
ABSTRACT: We review previous works on polymer confined crystallization employing strategies that allow confinement to go from the micron to the nanometer scale: droplets, blends, block copolymers and infiltration into alumina nanopores. We also present novel results, reporting homogeneous nucleation and first order crystallization kinetics, for the first time, in a homopolymer and a diblock copolymer infiltrated within alumina nanopores. Confinement can produce fractionated crystallization or exclusive crystallization at much higher supercoolings as compared to bulk polymers, as the degree of confinement increases. For highly confined heterogeneity free micro or nano-domains, the overall crystallization kinetics is dominated by nucleation and therefore becomes first order. The nucleation mechanism changes from heterogeneous nucleation for the bulk polymer to surface or homogeneous nucleation for ensembles of confined and isolated heterogeneity free micro or nanodomains. Surface nucleation is more commonly found than homogenous nucleation, although this fact is not frequently recognized in the literature.Polymer 07/2013; 54(16):4059-4077.

Article: Experimental mixture design to ameliorate the sensory quality evaluation of extra virgin olive oils[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Composite products of the agro-food industry are commonly obtained by blending two or more ingredients in order to improve the sensory quality of the final mixtures. In this paper four virgin olive oils coming from different cultivars and processes have been considered. The sensory evaluation of the tasters (panel test) has allowed the selection of the best mixture by using a mathematical model with linear parameters calculated by regression. The employed special cubic model has pointed out a net synergistic effect in the response contour plot of a three-component mixture when the worst olive oil's concentration is excluded. By increasing its concentration the sensory response's volume decreases slightly in the composition tetrahedron, and that indicates that the synergism among the three best olive oils can widely compensate the effect of the worst one.Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems 02/1995; 27(2):205-210.
