Sandwich Rolls (Abm)
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 2 hrs
I do not like to buy rolls from the store. They smell funny to me. This is a nice way to make them at home, in your bread maker. No fuss, No paying for junk at the store. They will taste wonderful, fresh out of the oven, whether you use them for sandwiches or not! I only have a copy of this recipe. I am not sure of the name of the book, but it might be: The Bread Machine Cookbook I.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 295.73 ml water
- 29.58 ml vegetable oil
- 9.85 ml sugar
- 4.92 ml salt
- 709.77-768.91 ml bread flour
- 78.07 ml powdered milk or 78.07 ml dry buttermilk
- 7.39 ml yeast
- Place all ingredients in order suggested by your bread machine manufacturer.
- Use dough cycle.
- When dough is finished, remove from machine.
- Form into 10- 12 balls.
- Shape into rolls.
- Let rise for 40- 50 minutes on a lightly greased baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven 375* for 20 minute or until golden brown.

YUMMY! I just made these for turkey sandwiches. I added a little garlic powder and italian seasoning in the breadmaker. Right before I put them in the oven I brushed with I Can't Believe It's Not Butter and sprinkled on some parmesan cheese. They were so yummy! I am going to make these all the time!
Nice & simple. I put everything in my bread machine, set the timer, went out to do errands, and came back just before the dough was ready. Followed the recipe exactly and came out with 6 hamburger-sized rolls which will work perfectly for a smaller-sized sandwich for my kids. I might try white whole wheat flour next time around. Thanks for sharing!

Named after a Native American tribe, the Mississippi River settlement of Natchez absorbed French, English, and Spanish influences before becoming part of the U.S. Today it preserves the historic character of its landscapes and beautiful architecture as well as any American city. Join us to explore the oldest settlement on the Mississippi that became a center of wealth and culture in the antebellum era. Contrast lives above the bluffs with Natchez-under-the-Hill, examining the heritage of freed slaves and social realities that have changed from romantic notions of the Old South to the more egalitarian New South. Activities coincide with either the Spring or Fall Pilgrimages, the festivals where access to historic homes and beautiful gardens is granted and special evening entertainments take place.
� Field trips to great mansions, fascinating museums and historic sites tell the unique story of Natchez.
� Attend special events and presentations associated with seasonal activities in the bustling city of Natchez.
� Savor real Southern cooking including a private lunch at a 19th century downtown mansion.

Unusual conservation among genes encoding small secreted salivary gland proteins from a gall midge

BMC Evolutionary Biology 2010, 10:296 doi:10.1186/1471-2148-10-296Published: 28 September 2010
In most protein-coding genes, greater sequence variation is observed in noncoding regions (introns and untranslated regions) than in coding regions due to selective constraints. During characterization of genes and transcripts encoding small secreted salivary gland proteins (SSSGPs) from the Hessian fly, we found exactly the opposite pattern of conservation in several families of genes: the non-coding regions were highly conserved, but the coding regions were highly variable.
Seven genes from the SSSGP-1 family are clustered as one inverted and six tandem repeats within a 15 kb region of the genome. Except for SSSGP-1A2, a gene that encodes a protein identical to that encoded by SSSGP-1A1, the other six genes consist of a highly diversified, mature protein-coding region as well as highly conserved regions including the promoter, 5'- and 3'-UTRs, a signal peptide coding region, and an intron. This unusual pattern of highly diversified coding regions coupled with highly conserved regions in the rest of the gene was also observed in several other groups of SSSGP-encoding genes or cDNAs. The unusual conservation pattern was also found in some of the SSSGP cDNAs from the Asian rice gall midge, but not from the orange wheat blossom midge. Strong positive selection was one of the forces driving for diversification whereas concerted homogenization was likely a mechanism for sequence conservation.
Rapid diversification in mature SSSGPs suggests that the genes are under selection pressure for functional adaptation. The conservation in the noncoding regions of these genes including introns also suggested potential mechanisms for sequence homogenization that are not yet fully understood. This report should be useful for future studies on genetic mechanisms involved in evolution and functional adaptation of parasite genes.

"So not too much has changed in my life. My wife hasn't treated me any differently and people around me are still treating me the same. So it's pretty easy when you've got good people around you."
HAAS PERSPECTIVE: Bill Haas starts the FedEx Cup playoffs with the No. 5 seed, which has more to do with his tour-leading nine top 10s than his win at the AT&T National. With five career wins, he was told he was only four wins away from being among the top 10 in PGA Tour wins among active players.
Haas said he was a little surprised by that, but he took issue the word "only four wins away."
Getting to five wins was no picnic.
"It's so hard to win out here," he said.
That has made him appreciate even more the careers of Tiger Woods (79 career wins), Phil Mickelson (42), Vijay Singh (34), Davis Love III (20) and Ernie Els (19).
"Those guys are on another level because of how many times they have won," he said. "It's pretty amazing, the level of competition nowadays. But … you've got to think of about those to be positive. When things aren't going well, you have to say, `Hey, wait a second, you can win out here.' Stats like that are fun to look at and only positive motivation for the future."
SECOND PLACE: This is one time Tiger Woods doesn't think second place is all that bad.
Woods has 14 majors, putting him in second-place behind Jack Nicklaus (18). He has 79 wins on the PGA Tour, second only to Sam Snead at 82.
"That's not bad at my age," the 37-year-old Woods said Wednesday. "Both of those guys took a lot longer to get to that point, and to do it where I'm at right now, it's pretty good."
Nicklaus won his 15th major when he was 38. Snead won his 80th tour event when he was 47.

Healy and Penelope Rossano Lakshmi Mittal, CEO of Mittal Steel, a UK-based company with Indian roots, took advantage of a weakened Arcelor that had successfully won a bidding war for Canadian steel company Dofasco, with an unsolicited bid to buy the company. Mittal's plans for acquiring Arcelor were initially thwarted by concerted opposition from Arcelor's board and several European governments. To Mittal's further surprise, on May 26, Arcelor orchestrated a merger with the Russian steelmaker Severstal. Although the proposed merger did not offer Arcelor shareholders as much value as Mittal's deal, Arcelor had structured the deal in such a way that it did not require shareholders' approval. Mittal wondered how he should respond to the Severstal deal. Did it make sense to continue pursuing Arcelor or should he look for other ways to expand his steel empire?

This invention relates to a device for the activation of an apparatus which serves to measure acoustic emission by detection of background noise. The invention finds an application in the field of industrial control by acoustic emission.
In industrial installations subjected to high stresses, there exist a certain number of sound-generating phenomena in which sounds are propagated in structures and which are of two types:
percussion impacts of solid portions on stationary obstacles (detachment of turbine blade),
crack formation (in concrete blocks).
Different types of sounds or noises are also propagated in other frequency bands. Noteworthy examples are noises arising from the flow of fluids in piping systems, vibrations of unbalanced rotating parts, and so on. Systems for acquisition of data by acoustic emission must therefore store a large number of unnecessary data. In fact, in the example of a fluid circuit with a pump, the potential danger of projection of solid particles appears as critical only if the pump is in operation. In acquisition systems of the prior art, all that takes place prior to startup of the pump will be recorded without distinction.
In order to overcome this major drawback, the aim of this invention is to provide a device for the activation of an apparatus which serves to measure acoustic emission by detection of background noise. Said device carries out a continuous measurement of environmental background noise by means of piezoelectric transducers, compares said noise with a reference voltage within a comparator which then activates the measuring apparatus.
Other features of the invention will be more apparent upon consideration of the following description and accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a diagram of a device according to the invention;
FIGS. 2a and 2b are two operating diagrams.
The device according to the invention as shown in FIG. 1 comprises a comparator 3 which receives at one input a reference voltage delivered by a control unit 4 and which receives at the other input a signal delivered by a circuit 2 for detecting electrical pulses produced by an acoustic emission transducer 1 which may also include a rectifier. This detection circuit 2 can consist of a mean noise-level integrator which serves to provide the positive peak envelope of the background noise or so-called noise level.
When the noise level is below the level of the reference which has been chosen, the comparator is at zero. When the noise level rises above the reference, the comparator changes state and initiates the operation of the measuring apparatus which then processes the signals received from the different transducers.
The increase in noise level is caused in particular by the commencement of a critical phase of operation of the installation which is being monitored. In the case of a fluid circuit, startup of the pump induces a background noise. This noise is detected by the circuit 2, then turns-on the comparator 3, and the control unit 4 delivers a suitably selected reference.
Referring now to FIG. 2a, this figure shows the zero voltage level 10, the background noise 8, the noise modulation 7 and the reference voltage 9. FIG. 2b shows the zero voltage level 12 and the response of the comparator 3 when the modulation 7 is higher than the reference 9, whereupon the comparator emits a signal. Thus the rectangular wave 15 is the response of the comparator 3 at the modulation peak 16.
In some instances, background noises other than the noise which serves to trigger the comparator may conceivably appear. In the example of a fluid circuit, the background noise which activates the measuring apparatus is the noise emitted by the pump. At some distance away and externally of the circuit, another background noise which appears at a sufficient level may reactivate the measuring apparatus. In order to forestall such an event, discrimination by spectral correlation is carried out by a circuit 2' prior to detection of modulation by the detector circuit 2. The acoustic emission frequency spectrum is in fact characteristic of the emission source to a large extent. It is therefore possible to select the access to the detection circuit only in respect of those background noises which are correlated with a predetermined reference spectrum.
The spectrum correlator can be connected to the input of the device downstream of the transducer 1 and can either enable or inhibit the detection circuit 2 via a special input of said circuit.
The data acquisition assembly 5 forms an integral part of the complete detection apparatus to which the activation device according to the invention is coupled. Said assembly comprises in particular a time base for acquisition of data which will then be processed in the processing assembly 6. The acquisition time base can thus be of the variable frequency type. Thus, when the activation device according to the invention does not detect any background noise which is capable of turning it on, that is to say when the noise level is below the predetermined critical threshold value or the reference unit 4, the acquisition time base produces a relatively low predetermined frequency f. By way of example, the data acquisition assembly 5 then carries out low-rate sampling of the signals derived from the transducer 1 at intervals of 1/f seconds. When a high noise level is recorded, the signal emitted by the comparator 3 switches the acquisition time base to an operating frequency F which is distinctly higher than the so-called watch frequency f. The sampling operation will then be much faster, namely at intervals of 1/F seconds. The flow of data to be processed is then increased by a marked extent.
The present invention therefore makes it possible to perform selective monitoring of various acoustic emissions in an industrial installation which may be of large size. This may be carried out as a function of predetermined hazard thresholds in order to limit the number of monitoring data collected by the transducer 1 when there is only a low degree of probability that these latter will be accident effects.
The activation device according to the invention can assume a number of different forms according to the various configurations of the apparatus for measuring acoustic emission. Thus, if the measuring apparatus comprises a large number of transducers whereas the installation under control has only a single source of noise which may become critical, the activation device according to the invention will be placed on only one of the transducers which is suitably chosen for the purpose. The other transducers will be directly connected to the assembly 5 for acquisition of data to be processed.
If a number of different background noises are indications of critical thresholds, the group of transducers can be arranged in separate subassemblies. One activation device and one data acquisition assembly 5 are associated with each transducer subassembly.
Furthermore, the present invention applies to different chains for the acquisition of data of acoustic origin. The transducer 1 may thus comprise a preamplifier in the event of long distances at the transducer location. The transducer 1 delivers electrical signals which can be rectified by a half-wave or full-wave rectifier device, for example of the semiconductor diode type.

NEW ORLEANS — In the Super Bowl of brotherly love, neither the 49ers nor the Baltimore Ravens have fired salvos at one another this week.
Black ex-coaches say NFL's Rooney Rule broken
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Three black former NFL head coaches say the league needs to rethink its Rooney Rule for promoting minority hiring after 15 top vacancies — eight head coaching jobs and seven general manager positions — were all filled by white candidates since the regular season ended a month ago.
"I know the concept is good and something we need to do," said Tony Dungy, who was with the Indianapolis Colts during the 2006 season when he became the first black coach to win a Super Bowl. "Obviously, it's not working the way it should."
The Rooney Rule, implemented in 2003, was named for Pittsburgh Steelers chairman Dan Rooney, who steadfastly pushed the league to require every team to interview at least one minority candidate every time there is a coaching or general manager opening.
Before the rule went into effect, the NFL had had only six minority head coaches in more than 80 years. Since it has been in place, 12 have been hired.
But none were hired this year to replace the two black coaches who were fired — Romeo Crennel in Kansas City and Lovie Smith in Chicago — and the one fired black GM, Rod Graves in Arizona.
Herm Edwards, former coach of the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs and now an ESPN analyst, has called for not only revising the rule but perhaps even changing its name.
"When you use the Rooney Rule and not correctly, you put a little bit of a bad mark on Mr. Rooney's name, and that is not good," Edwards said Wednesday. "If it keeps going this way, we might need to take his name off the rule. It is not being used in the right manner that Mr. Rooney meant it to be."
Robert Gulliver, the NFL's executive vice president of human resources, said that the hiring results were "disappointing" and that he expects to make revisions in the rule.
The Fritz Pollard Alliance, a group of minority coaches and front-office, scouting and game-day NFL officials, wants the Rooney Rule expanded to apply to coordinators, assistant head coaches and club president positions.
Unlike Dungy and Edwards, Jim Caldwell is still coaching, albeit as an assistant. Not only that, his team, the Baltimore Ravens, will play the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's Super Bowl. But he wasn't even invited to interview for one of the eight vacant coaching jobs, though having a team in the playoffs can be a hindrance to such opportunities.
Fired as the Colts' coach following the 2011 season, Caldwell joined the Ravens as quarterbacks coach. When head coach John Harbaugh fired offensive coordinator Cam Cameron in December, Caldwell was promoted. With his guidance, Baltimore's offense responded.
Caldwell is no stranger to the Super Bowl, having led the Colts there three years ago after replacing the retired Dungy. It was only after Peyton Manning was sidelined for the 2011 season that Caldwell was fired.
"It has been a great rule and it has worked in the past," he said. "Just like anything else, you have to, after a certain period of time, revisit it and take a look and see if it needs a little tweaking. I think it does in this particular case."
Caldwell added: "That's one of the reasons that the Rooney Rule was put in place, because you're trying to avoid those situations, if possible. We're at that stage where guys like Lovie Smith, who didn't get an opportunity, who had won and been very successful previously ... obviously, there's some concern there, and that's why I think the rule is going to be revisited."
Dungy said he believes the entire system is broken. He cited 21 head coaching jobs changing in a three-year span, which he said indicates owners are making the wrong hires regardless of race.
Edwards said he wonders whether minority candidates get interviewed only to satisfy the rule, even though they have no chance of getting the job. He and Dungy noted that the last black head coach hiring — other than coaches promoted from within, like Leslie Frazier, Raheem Morris, Mike Singletary, Hue Jackson and Crennel — was Mike Tomlin by Pittsburgh, in 2007.
There are currently four minority head coaches: Tomlin, Frazier in Minnesota, Marvin Lewis in Cincinnati and Ron Rivera in Carolina. Minority general managers include Baltimore's Ozzie Newsome, Detroit's Martin Mayhew, Houston's Rick Smith, the New York Giants' Jerry Reese and Oakland's Reggie McKenzie.
"I am not saying you have to hire a minority candidate. No one is saying that," Edwards said. "I am saying you can't be blinded. It can't be, 'Who is the guy to interview to get this out of the way?'"
"The problem I have is you don't really abide by the Rooney Rule the correct way," he said.
The one possible exception is the low-boil, long-distance chippy exchanges between Ravens running back Ray Rice and the 49ers defense, specifically the linebackers, whom Rice says won't be able to keep up if he happens to get isolated against them on pass patterns.
"I've heard that (Rice) has been saying a lot of good stuff about us," Patrick Willis said Thursday with a wry grin. "I'm being sarcastic right now."
Rice, the 5-foot-8, 212-pound dynamo, set the stage for one of the most crucial matchups in Super Bowl XLVII earlier in the week. A loquacious sort, Rice complimented Willis and his fellow linebackers for being one of the best units in the NFL, but then maintained they probably won't be able to handle him in the open field.
"This game will come down to matchups," Rice said. "In the run game, the linebackers, they might get their fair share of plays. They might make some tackles. But there comes a point in the game when you have to cover me."
And then?
"I don't think a lot of linebackers can cover me, not just the 49ers," he said. "Linebackers are built a different way. They're built to tackle. They're not built to cover, so when I've got them man-to-man, I'm going to win my fair share. Let's pad up. We've got to pad up to see."
Even though the 49ers lost to the Ravens 16-6 in 2011, they did a decent job of containing Rice. He gained just 59 yards on 21 carries and, perhaps more important, he was limited to three catches for 24 yards. Consequently, they're not sure where he's coming from with all his talk.
"Let Ray Rice say what he says," Willis said. "He's a good football player. But we believe we can cover any back in the NFL. In the Super Bowl, the best cornerbacks cover the best receivers. The best safeties cover the best tight ends, and the best linebackers cover the best running backs. Watch the game tapes. We've been covering more elusive backs than him."
NaVorro Bowman was even more direct in his comeback.
"Obviously, he's underestimating us," he said. "We'll have to go out and show him on Sunday. I'm looking forward to it."
In addition to rushing for 1,390 yards and 11 touchdowns through 19 games this season, Rice has caught 65 passes for 547 yards. Although he scored only one touchdown as a receiver, many 49ers defenders recalled the play he made in the Ravens' improbable comeback victory in San Diego in Week 12. On fourth-and-29, Rice caught a pass in the right flat and zigzagged for 29 yards to help set up the field goal that sent the game into overtime, where the Ravens won 16-13.
Some 49ers were quick to note the breakdowns in the San Diego defense. "We don't play like that," Bowman said flatly.
Cornerback Carlos Rogers, alluding to the team's film study of the Chargers game, said: "Their angles to the ball carrier were unbelievable. We just said, 'Oh, my God. What y'all doin'?"
Still, 49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who spent two seasons in Baltimore, knows how lethal Rice can be. And he said his defense must be at the top of its game to deal with him.
"He's extremely quick and fast, No. 1," Fangio said. "He has the ability to jump cut and cut the ball back at any moment. He's only 5-8 but he's a very strong 5-8. He's very tough to cover. Joe Flacco likes to throw it to him, and he has been one of their leading receivers every year since he's been in the league. So he's a dual threat, and he doesn't have a weakness."
Fangio said every player on defense will need to keep an eye on Rice. Linemen will play a pivotal role when Rice runs. Linebackers must watch for him on pass plays. And the secondary will need to be alert to Rice breaking through the first two lines of defense.
One thing is for sure: Rice's words got around to the entire defense, so he won't sneak up on anybody.
"He's a good player, so of course he's going to be confident in his talents," said end Ray McDonald. "But we have good players, too. I'm pretty sure whatever guys we have on him will be up to the challenge of stopping him."
"First, our D-line, whoever's in the ballgame, has got to stop the run," said linebacker Ahmad Brooks. "And the linebackers have just got to cover him when he comes out of the backfield. That's all you can do. There's nothing scientific about it. Get up there and cover him. He runs hard. I played against him last year. I hit him and felt the hit. But just like any running back in the NFL, you have to wrap up, drive through and bring him down."

, let alone with reliably tracking an intruder. I'd say TOS has every excuse not to feature capturing of intruders by intraship beaming; TNG is on shakier ground, but the nuTOSMovie realm still isn't obligated to be capable of anything of this sort.
Intruder alerts might be largely based on detecting penetration rather than presence, and if the means of penetration is innovative enough, it will go unnoticed. Quite possibly, countermeasures or even detection mechanisms for transwarp beaming will not be invented until several decades into this new timeline...

About "Life" by Boycey
Design by Boycey
This is the third and final sub (3/3), which is part of a slogan to design collab. by robroy05 and myself.
I was very pleased when robroy05 agreed to let me illustrate his slogans because he has a real range of great ideas. Don't forget to check out his slogans!
The text reads: Life would be easier if it was multiple choice.

A great slogan matched by a classic, almost 70's illustration children's book style that is delightful and totally appropriate for this piece. Nice work peeps!
