Tartare of Salmon, Wrapped in a Parcel of Smoked Salmon
Yield: Serves 4
When chef Noel Cullen decided to write a book about the fine cooking of Ireland, he heard his share of jokes. "Who would want to read the smallest book in the world, the book of Irish gourmet cooking?" And "Elegant Irish Cooking . . . isn't that an oxymoron?" But Cullen persevered. He knew that the world of haute cuisine was in for a surprise.
"Along with the expansion of tourism and the strength of the 'Celtic Tiger' -- Ireland's strong economy -- there has been an explosion of restaurants in Ireland over the last 30 years. And during the last 15 years, the cuisine has truly come into its own," says Cullen.
He should know. At age 13 Cullen started out as an apprentice in the kitchen of the Jury's Hotel in Dublin. His rise as a chef mirrored the evolution of modern Irish cooking, even as it eventually brought him to America. Now, more than 30 years later, Cullen has recently wrapped up a four-year term as president of the American Culinary Federation. One of only 52 certified master chefs in the United States, he both cooks and teaches, as professor of hospitality administration at the School of Hospitality at Boston University.
"The potato famine is the crux of the myth," says Cullen from his home in Boston. "The Irish came to America starving, and looking for potatoes." True, the tuber sustained Ireland for many years before the blight. "Now people are starting to see Ireland for what she is: an island nation, with all sorts of resources and a unique heritage."
Cullen's cookbook Elegant Irish Cooking (Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2001) highlights recipes from great chefs working in Ireland today, as well as some of his own handiwork. You'll see familiar ingredients that have long histories in Ireland, such as lamb, potatoes, cabbage, and dairy products. But Cullen and other Irish chefs have given them surprising updates, and, whether played simple or sophisticated, the recipes offer a true taste of Ireland.Salmon was the most highly regarded fish in ancient Ireland, where it was roasted and served with honey.

An earlier comment claims that an episode in November 1953 was the first
color television broadcast ever. That is not so. The Federal
Commission, on Oct. 10, 1950, approved a color television system developed
by CBS that was not compatible with existing black and white television
sets. However, a court challenge by RCA, which was developing its own
system that was compatible with black and white sets, tied up the
inauguration of the CBS color system until a decision for CBS by the U.S.
Supreme Court in May 1951.
Finally, on June 25, 1951, CBS broadcast a one-hour program in color, called "Premiere", featuring Ed Sullivan and other CBS stars, and carried it on a five-station East Coast CBS-TV hookup.
The episode of "The Colgate Comedy Hour" broadcast in color in November 1953 was actually the network debut of the rival RCA color television system. In December 1953, the FCC formally reversed its earlier decision and approved the RCA system as the color standard for American television.
'Colgate Comedy Hour' was a first-rate comedy-variety series, performed
from New York City and featuring some of the biggest names in American
business at the time. The series was sponsored by Colgate-Palmolive, a
'health and beauty aids' company which had established a healthy presence
the sponsorship of entertainment since the early days of radio. In the
1940s, Al Jolson had starred in a weekly radio show sponsored by Colgate
Tooth Powder, but he mistakenly kept identifying the sponsor as 'Colgate
Toothpaste': a different product altogether, which was sponsoring a
different radio show at the time.
Apart from its excellent entertainment value, the Colgate Comedy Hour is also important for a technological reason. The episode broadcast live on 22 November, 1953, hosted by Donald O'Connor, was the very first colour tv broadcast. Prior to this, all colour tv transmissions had been closed-circuit only.
Recently, Gloria O'Connor (Donald's widow) told me that she thought the Nov. 22, 1953 Colgate Comedy Hour was the first color telecast of the newly-approved color system. Evidently it was part of a test. Many old-timers have insisted that the Jan 1 Rose Bowl Parade was the first color telecast. Can anyone shed some light on the Colgate Comedy Hour? I met Joyce Smith, one of the original dancers, at an NBC Reunion and she also believed that the show was telecast in color. It would be a good thing to straighten this out for the history books. In addition, Joyce said the Comedy hour originated at the original 'El Capitan' theater on Vine Street.
Not all Colgate Comedy Hour episodes originated from New York. In fact, when it began, production originated from New York and was kine-scoped for West Coast broadcast. Beginning with the second season, production was divided between Hollywood and New York, with the majority of episodes originating from Southern California. The show started in New York and ended in L.A. The first Los Angeles-based episode of the show aired late in September 1951. All of the Los Angeles-based Colgate Comedy Hour episodes seem to have been filmed instead of aired live, as I have seen with a December 1952 Abbott and Costello-hosted episode. Fred Waring was the final host of the series, and on Christmas Day 1955. The first Colgate Comedy Hour to originate from outside New York or Los Angeles was from Philadelphia in 1951 not Las Vegas or Miami in 1954. No sooner did the show end did Los Angeles overtake Chicago as an important center for TV production, as it remains 50 years later.
I've been lucky enough to see five episodes of this golden age of TV pioneer. The high powered talent was only part of a top notch production. Two of those shows featured Abbott and Costello, who can be seen doing their "Who's on First?" routine and interacting with horror film legend Boris Karloff. The other three are Martin and Lewis shows, and actually made me laugh out loud more than a half century later, their work was that good. In fact, what's obvious from those shows is that there's a lot of ad-libbing going on, and the two seem like they're absolutely having the times of their life. If you find that DVD (the sleeve advertised two shows but actually contains three, all with original commercials, I found it for a dollar at a Dollar General store...talk about a buried treasure!) look for the bit part where Jerry teases two NBC studio cameramen. A true gem. And fans of old TV commercials won't be let down, either, by the catchy jingles and nice animation for Colgate toothpaste, Palmolive soap and shave cream, Halo shampoo or Fab detergent.
I own a DVD that is entitled "The Abbott & Costello Show". But it's actually two episodes of "The Colgate Comedy Hour". From what I have seen it looked like a good show. But again I have only seen two shows. Both shows were hosted by Abbott & Costello and they were hilarious. It featured many different skits and bits including the "Two Tens For a Five". And of course it had everyone's favorite "Who's on First?". I really enjoyed the quick banter between the two. I heard the best Abbott & Costello routines are the ones preformed in front of a live audience. Costello was great at ad-libbing and it shows here. I have only seen a couple of the Martin & Lewis movies and they were good. So I'm guessing the ones hosted by them were good too. I really recommend this to anyone who likes comedy and especially anyone who hasn't seen the "Who's on First?" bit. It's classic stuff.

Is there a way to update an AMI instead of creating a new one? The reason I ask is that, I would like to convert my current EC2 Instance to Reserved Instance in order to get a lot of discount. But what would happen once I have a Reserved Instance and would like to update the AMI?
Example: I have Reserved Instance and using it for a while. After a while, I update the EC2 configuration/install a new software and create a new AMI based on the changes I made. The new AMI have a different number and I don't want to run the Reserved Instance any more rather the newly created AMI. What would happen the discount I get to the old Reserved Instance? Can it be applied to the newly created instance?

More than just Happy Felix Day
Posted by Geoff Baker
OK, OK, I borrowed some of today's headline from countless other websites. But seriously, what's not to be happy about if you're a Mariners fan? The last time Felix Hernandez took the mound, in Oakland, he threw a complete-game. Got to be happy about that.
There are a few other things worth noting if you are a fan of this team. Or, even if you're looking for signs to see whether this 10-10 club is legit. Hernandez has gone seven innings or more in three of his starts already. But he is not even the staff leader in that department. Carlos Silva has gone seven or more innings on four occasions, Jarrod Washburn and Miguel Batista once each. (Originally, I'd written that Washburn had two, but it was only one).
That makes nine starts of seven or more innings by Seattle starters. Want to know how long it took the 2007 M's to notch that many? They didn't get their ninth such start until May 27. Yes, that's right. This year's team is five full weeks ahead of last year's pace.
So, does it really matter? You'd better believe it. When a starter goes seven innings, it enables a team to use its bullpen in defined roles. The setup man and situational lefty can go in the eighth inning, the closer in the ninth. The M's have yet to take full advantage of this because all of their top bullpen arms were either injured or imploding the first few weeks. Brandon Morrow is now back and slowly working his way into form, Ryan Rowland-Smith has usurped Eric O'Flaherty as the situational lefty and J.J. Putz should be re-activated off the disabled list today.
Given all that, a .500 record is not the worst possible outcome.
Oh wait, I forgot about Erik Bedard. Interesting that he does not have a single one of those seven-inning starts. And he's the guy who, historically, was the most able of any of Seattle's starting five of going at least seven. That, for me, is the most intriguing part about the 2007 rotation. It is obviously vastly improved, and not just at the top end. Silva's addition has stabilized the middle, Hernandez has taken a step forward (so far) on the top end, Washburn is pitching better than last year and Batista, if he's right about discovering a new way to go deeper in games, could provide the biggest surprise of all at age 37.
Throw a healthy Bedard in that mix? You can see the possibilities.
But for now, at least, the M's have weathered a severe early-season injury storm and offensive rollercoaster mainly because of the starters. Remember, the bullpen has already blown two games the M's were leading in entering the ninth. If not, this is a 12-8 team.
Last year's crew did deliver plenty of so-called "quality starts'' of at least six innings and three earned runs or less allowed. But still not as much as the M's have seen this season.
So far, the Mariners have 11 such outings, with Bedard contributing two of them. Last year, it took until May 2 for the M's to reach that total. So, they are more than a week ahead of that pace. But again, while "quality starts'' are OK, get too many of the six-inning variety and the bullpen is still being taxed. Last year, the M's had five "quality starts'' of seven or more innings among their first 11 overall. So far, this year's team has eight such starts in their first 11.
It might not sound like much, but it all starts to add up. The more games where relievers can be used in set-roles, where eighth-inning relievers don't have to come into a game in the sixth or seventh innings, the less wear and tear you're liable to see down the road. Considering how last season ended up, it's a welcome trend indeed for a squad with designs on contending for a playoff berth. These are not just innings being delivered. They are quality innings.
Let's compare the M's to the Angels so far:
7+ inning starts
Mariners -- 9
Angels -- 7
7+ inning quality starts
Mariners -- 8
Angels -- 6
6+ inning quality starts
Mariners -- 11
Angels -- 11
Yes, I know. The Angels are missing John Lackey and Kelvim Escobar. From what I heard in Anaheim last weekend, Escobar is likely done for the year. Lackey should be back towards the end of May. But remember, the M's haven't really had a healthy Bedard yet, either. So, that's a 1-to-1 sawoff. This could be a very interesting race.
With Seattle's full bullpen unit finally rounding its way back to normal, these seven-inning outings should prove more useful each day. To answer a question below, when Putz comes back, I could see Roy Corcoran getting sent down. Now, if only the team could get some hitting from its RF and DH spots...

avg 45M674 2 g gi" J'nfow v/svakuer um v F. I f 4 Elm Patented July 22, i924.
Application filed May 25, 1923.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, PHILIP MUELLER and ANTON C. SoHUnnMANN, citizens of the United States, residing at Decatur, in the county of ln'iacon and State of Illinois, have invented new and useful Improvements in Noslip Flanges, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relates to no-slip flanges, such as are used in connection with water, steam, gas pipes and the like, or wherever, in fitting up pipes and fixtures it is desirable or necessary to use flanges or escutcheons to finish and cover the ceiling, wall, or panel apertures through which the pipes pass.
Such devices are very generally used in plumbing work, and it is in connection with such work that we shall describe the present development.
The present invention has for its object to provide a no-slip flange or escutcheon with a friction-.member which, without the use of extraneous locking means, will hold the escutcheon in any desired position on the pipe or fitting with which it is used, in which position it, will maintain itself indefinitely, thus doing away with the expense of lockingscrews, nuts, and like devices for holding the flange.
Broadly considered, the idea of providing a friction device for escutcheons of this kind is old, this having been contemplated by Schuermann in his Patent No. 1,080,520, dated December 2, 1913, where he shows a no-slip flange provided with a packing ring of fibrous material or rubber, the-construe tion being such that this ring contactedwith the pipe on which the escutcheon was placed and theoretically was intended to hold it against displacement. The ring of Schuermann has merit, but in actual practice ithas been found that there are certain objections to the fibrous ring or a ring formed of rubber. The objection to the fibrous ring is that it absorbs moisture and swells,
its material is subject to disintegration and change, and it does not maintain its form in use, it having been found necessary to back that ring on its free edge, as shown in Fig. 2 of the Schuermann drawing, with an independent metal flange or ring to keep it in proper shape and maintainit in good Serial No. 641,425.
gripping condition. Rubber, which is mentioned by Schuermann, has, of course, qualities which make it somewhat unsuitable for this purpose, as it deteriorates badly with age; it will stick and corrode upon metal after it has been in place any appreciable length of time, and it cannot be slipped or moved easily upon thepipe to bring it into proper adjusted position.
Furthermore, in the patent referred to, the fibrous material or rubber was encased exteriorly through substantially its entire length in a metal. casing which prevented or at least reduced the frictional engagement of the collar with the escutcheon.
It is with a view of improving on the de velopment of Schuermann that we have devised the present no-slip flange, adopting a material which is inherently much better fitted to secure the results than the fibrous or rubber washers heretofore used, certain mechanical features in the make-up of the no-slip flange herein disclosed being involved also, which tend to improve and better devices of thischaracter.
In order that the invention may be clear to those skilled in the art, we have shown in the accompanying drawings several embodiments of the invention, and in said drawings:
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a panel or support with pipes passing through an opening therein, this showing being conventional and merely illustrative of the application of the invention, with an escutcheon or canopy for covering the joint and panel opening, mounted on one of the pipes.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of an escutcheon and friction ringto show one method of securing the ring in place.
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing another form of escutcheon with the friction ring locked in place.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a panel, pipe, and canopy, with a slightly different form of ring.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the friction ring shown in Fig. 4.
Fig. 6 is a sectional view, similar to Fig. 4:, showing still another form of ring.
Referring to the drawings by numbers, like numbers indicating like parts in the several views, 10 indicates a support through which the pipes pass and to which they are secured'.
Passing through a suitable aperture in the support are the pipesor other fixtures, the example shown in the present instance being of two pipes 11 and 12, one telescoping within the other with any suitable coupling or joint 18. It will be under stood that the showing, so far as the pipe assembly and support is concerned, is purely conventional, as the no-slip flange or escutcheon which will now be described, may be utilized, with various pipes, connections, and fixtures, by merely changing its design and make-up to conform to the particular fixture with which it is used.
As is well known. it is desirable to finish such assembled fixtures by means of a flange or escutcheon such as 14, and such finishing flanges are ordinarily so disposed as to cover the joint and the opening in panel, ceiling, or other support through which the pipes pass. The flanges 14 are ordinarily provided with a flaring base which seats against the wall or panel 10, as shown in 1, and is provided with a forward portion which may be curved, fluted or otherwise suitably ornamented, and at its extreme forward end is tapered down to the diameter of the pipe, as shown, so as to give a pleasing finish to the work. The problem of maintaining such escutcheons in their proper position has always been one which has occasioned some difliculty for these escutcheons or flanges must be maintained in proper position lengthwise of the pipe and also so supported that when mounted on it horizontal pipe they will not fall and gap, but will seat closely against the panel or vertical wall of the support, maintaining always the position shown in Fig. 1. These escutcheons are spun from metal and consequently have but little body to support the flange, so that, unless a more substantial support is given, they are likely to be bent and twisted in use. It is desirable, furthermore, that the support for these flanges or escutcheons be disposed at a point which will permit the base to be properly flared and the tip to be properly narrowed to the diameter of the pipe so that a smooth, close, and pleasing finish appears at both ends of the escutcheons.
We accomplish that result, in the present instance, by locating within the flange at a point between its ends, so as not to interfere either with the flared base or the narrowed, closely fitting tip, a friction element 15, which is formed of cork preferably, since this material has a fixed character, does not deteriorate appreciably, is nonabsorbent' and therefore not attacked by water, and is not corrosive when in contact with metal. Its coefficient of friction is suflicient when given a close fit to a pipe,
will not stick to the pipe, but may be readily removed even after it has been in position for a considerable length of time.
This friction ring 15 of cork will be given an extended bearing on the pipe so that it will sustain the flange against movement either longitudinally of the pipe or in lines transverse thereto. As shown in Fig. 1, it is located within the bulge of the flange, the wall of which, in that example, is Slight l v inclined toward its tip, so that the ring 3 15 will be forced forwardly and compressed within the bulge of the flange, bearing against the inwardly, curved wall 16 of the tip, which serves as an abutment and centers the ring 15 relative to the pipe.
The ring will be of larger diameter than the flange interior, so that considerable compression of the ring will be necessary to force it to its seat. This ensures proper frictional engagement of the ring and flange, and, furthermore, constricts the ring so as to cause its bore to hug closely the pipe on which the assembled escutcheon and ring are mounted. This results in a very stable mounting of the flange and its maintenance in any position of adjustment.
In Fig. 2 a construction is shown in which the ring 17 is locked within the flange or escutcheon by forcing it past the projection 18 into its seat so as to hold it firmly in place. the compression of the ring as it is forced to its seat, both in this form and in the form shown in Fig. 1, within the walls of the flange, tending to give a grip to the bore 19 of the ring so that it will be held firmly upon the pipe.
In Fig. 3, the ring 20 is held within a roll or swell 21 formed in the wall of the flange and engaging the ring in such fashion as to lock it firmly in place and give the neces- 8211') constriction to ,it to ensure a good gripping action.
In the modified form of the invention illustrated in Figures 4 and 5, the escutcheon is particularly adapted for use in connection with a supply pipe having a bend near the wall through which it projects, the supply pipe 12 being arranged to telescope within the service pipe 11. and secured thereto by the packing nut 13. The escutcheon 22 is preferably formed with a reduced chamber 22 at its rear end which receives the friction ring 23. The ring 28 is suitably spaced from the wall by means of a slidable collar 24, which is adjustably secured to the supply pipe 12 by the set screw 24'. The installation is set up by placing the escutcheon 22, together with the friction ring 23, and the collar 24, on the pipe 12 in the order mentioned, and then inserting the supply ill] pipe 12 into the opening in the service pipe 11. The escutcheon 22 is then slid back over the bend of the pipe 12, as indicated in dotted lines iii-Fig. 4E. so as to allow sutfr cient space for the insertion of any suitable back into the chamber 22 by the fixed collar 24. Preferably the friction ring is slightly tapered at its rear end as shown in Fig. 5, so as to facilitate its entrance into the chamber 22 of the escutcheon. It will be seen that by reason of the tapered end of the ring 23, that when the escutcheon is set up, this tapered end will be expanded under pressure so as to compactly fill the chamber 22 as shown in Fig. 4. The ring 23. is of greater length before being placed in the chamber, in order to afford a suflicient amount of flexible material to fill the chamber and wedge tightly therein upon being expanded. hen the parts are set up the ring 23 not only provides a water tight connection, but will also tend to maintain the escutcheon in proper position with respect to the supply pipe.
The form of the invention shown in Fig. 6 is very much similar in construction to that disclosed in Fig. 4, with the exception that the friction ring 25 is mounted on the supply pipe 12 so as to be in telescopic relation with the escutcheon 26. The reduced cylindrical portion 26 of the escutcheon being open at its rear end so as to receive the flange cap 27 which passes therethrough and retains the rear end of the ring in position. In setting up the installation. the escutcheon is placed on thesupply pipe 12' and slid back over the bend in the same manner as shown in Fig. 4. The metal cap 27 and the friction ring 25, will then be placed on the supply pipe in the order mentioned, and the friction ring clamped to the pipe by forcing the rear portion of the ring into the cap 27. After the packing nut 13 is set up, the escutcheon. 26 may be moved forward over the cap 27 and into engagement with the wall 10, thus providing a neat and attractive appearance to the pipe connection as shown.
By the use of this assembly, a very efficient and ornamental no-slip flange is provided: one which will maintain its position in use. and, will not deteriorate in time so as to destroy its efficiency: the cork of which the ring is made, being, as stated. unaffected by moisture and non-corrosive so that it does not break down in use and does not adhere to the pipes. Furthermore, the char-' &0t61:0f the material is such. that it will maintainalways its form without the necessity of extraneous means being employed to keepit in a compact and proper gripping condition.
it is to be understood that the forms of the invention herewith disclosed are merely illustrative, and in no sense restrictive, and that the invention is susceptible to such changes as fall within the purview of one skilled in. the art, and the scope of the appended claims.
We claim:

"Part of your healing from grief comes with being able to mourn and to share the story," said Jeff Fleming, Rainbow Kids chaplain at the hospital. "Most of us are so uncomfortable with death and with tears that we don't know how to approach a person whose child has died because we don't want to upset them or make them cry."
Fleming said that one reason support groups are important is because they offer an outlet and a non-judgmental place for people to share their feelings.
"The reasons those groups work so well is they make it clear from the onset that you are welcome, and if you want to just share your name and listen, that is perfectly fine," Ashton said. "That invitation with obligation is extremely powerful, but it is good to get that invitation because a lot of times they surprise themselves once they begin to talk. Sometimes it just comes flooding out."
For some, sharing is an uncomfortable and private event. For these individuals, it is necessary to offer different disciplines, said Fleming, such as meditation. It is important to honor each others' unique grieving process.
How to help when a parent loses a child
Bills noted that in one group meeting the participants discuss hurtful things people say. Though well-meaning, friends and even family members might say things can upset those who are grieving. Some of those include, "Isn't it time you moved on?" "Your child is in a better place." In the case of a miscarriage, they may say things like, "Aren't you glad you didn't even have the baby?" All these do not make the pain any less. Parents will still feel robbed of the dreams and hopes for that child.
To help honor individual experiences, Ashton advised, "Instead of saying, 'I know how you feel,' the answer ought to be, 'I have no idea how you feel. Would you like to share?'" Another thing that will help is providing service.
Havertz recalled a time actions spoke louder than words. He appreciated the Boy Scouts cleaning his yard and the people in his Mormon ward who cleaned his house after his daughter passed away. The best thing he received was a hug.
"They never said anything," Havertz recalled. "They just hugged me. There was a spirit-to-spirit communication."
"I always tell people it is as simple as presences," Bills said. "Sometimes just to sit with somebody and hold their hand, sometimes that is the best thing that you can do."
Another key thing that is helpful to some is to acknowledge the life of that child and share memories.
"One of the things that a parent who has lost a child wants is for that child not be forgotten," explained Fleming.
Different ways to grieve
Parents who grieve together can strengthen one another, but they too grieve differently and should understand each others' response to grief. Ashton said that in general, men are more cognitive and will think of ways things could have been different where as women are quicker to emotion and feelings.
Ashton noted that in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' "The Family: A Proclamation to the World," it states, "Fathers are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families." The father will want to protect his child who is dying or who has died. Through putting in extra hours at work, he feels he can contribute to the hospital bills or a funeral. For the mother, she might want to communicate and express what she is feeling and thinking.
"The difference doesn't make either of them more or less valuable or more or less committed to or feeling love and hurt for that child," Aston counseled. "The key is to get it out in the open."

Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
StemCells entered an agreement with the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM) under which CIRM will provide approximately $19.3 million to help fund preclinical development and Investigational New Drug (IND) enabling activities of HuCNS-SC®, the company's product candidate (purified human neural stem cells) for Alzheimer's disease.
The funding will be in the form of a forgivable loan. It was awarded under CIRM's Disease Team Therapy Development Award program (RFA 10-05) in September 2012. The goal of the research will be to file an IND application with the U.S. FDA within four years.
"With CIRM's support, we are now able to lay the groundwork that could result in the world's first neural stem cell trial in Alzheimer's patients," commented Martin McGlynn, president and CEO of StemCells.
StemCells will collaborate with researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI). In July 2012, the UCI team presented data at the Alzheimer's Association Annual Meeting demonstrating that the company's neural stem cells restored memory and significantly enhanced synaptic function in two animal models relevant to Alzheimer's disease. According to the firm, these results did not require reduction in beta amyloid or tau that accumulates in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease and account for the pathological hallmarks of the disease.

Erie Times-News, Christopher Millette, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Burger King plans to become the latest U.S. company to shift its legal address out of the country by merging with a foreign company. Burger King has announced plans to buy Tim Hortons, the Canadian coffee-and-doughnut chain.
Burger King's operations will stay in Miami. But the corporate headquarters of the new company will be in Canada.
The transaction is called a corporate inversion, a maneuver that is becoming popular among companies looking to lower their tax bills.
Burger King stressed that the deal is being driven by the international growth possibilities of Tim Hortons, not a desire to take advantage of Canada's lower tax rates.
Still, at least one senator — Democrat Sherrod Brown of Ohio — is urging fast-food patrons to take their business elsewhere, to Wendy's or White Castle, two fast-food chains that happen to be based in Ohio.
Ten things to know about corporate inversions:
An inversion happens when a U.S. corporation and a foreign company merge, with the new parent company based in the foreign country. For tax purposes, the U.S. company becomes foreign-owned, even if all the executives and operations stay in the U.S.
There can be many business reasons for two companies to merge. The decision to incorporate the new parent company in a foreign country can generate significant tax savings over time.
The U.S. has the highest corporate income tax rate in the industrialized world, at 35 percent. The U.S. is also the only developed country that taxes corporate profits earned abroad. Foreign profits are subject to U.S. taxes once they are brought to the U.S., though corporations can deduct any foreign taxes paid.
Companies that become foreign-owned don't have to worry about the Internal Revenue Service trying to tax the profits they make abroad.
Most U.S. corporations pay federal income taxes at rates much lower than 35 percent because the tax code is filled with breaks for businesses. Inversions open the door for even more.
Inverted corporations must still pay U.S. taxes on the profits they earn in the U.S. However, they can lower their U.S. tax bills through a maneuver called "earnings stripping."
Here is how it works: The new foreign parent company "lends" money to the U.S. firm, which must pay it back. The U.S. firm then deducts the interest payments it makes to the parent company, reducing its taxable profits — "stripping" them from its balance sheet.
"You haven't raised any new money," said Robert Willen, a New York-based tax adviser. "All you've done is literally out of thin air, you've created a debt obligation on which the U.S. company is the debtor and the foreign parent is the creditor."
Many U.S.-based corporations are hoarding money overseas, either to invest abroad or to shield it from U.S. taxes. Experts say the total amount could exceed $2 trillion.
If a foreign subsidiary sends profits directly to a U.S. corporation, the U.S. firm must pay taxes on it. However, if those profits are funneled through a foreign parent company that was formed through an inversion, the money can be invested in the U.S. without paying U.S. taxes.
The technique is called "hopscotching" because the money — at least on paper — bounces from country to country while avoiding U.S. taxes.

The Akron Zips and the Iowa State Cyclones have scheduled a home-and-home football series for 2018 and 2019, ISU announced today via Twitter.
Iowa State will host Akron at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames on Sept. 22, 2018. The final game of the series will have the Zips hosting the Cyclones at InfoCision Stadium – Summa Field in Akron on Sept. 7, 2019.
The 2018 contest will be the first ever meeting between Akron and Iowa State. Akron is 0-1 against the Big 12 after a 67-0 loss to Kansas State in 1995. Iowa State is 23-4 overall against teams from the MAC.
Iowa State was previously scheduled to play the Navy Midshipmen on the same two dates in 2018 and 2019. It appears that Navy has canceled the series and the Cyclones have replaced them with Akron. Since Navy is joining the Big East in 2015, they have several games and series to cancel from 2015 forward.
In 2018, Iowa State is also slated to travel to in-state rival Iowa and host Northern Illinois. In 2019, the Cyclones are scheduled to host Iowa.
Iowa State is the first announced opponent for Akron for both the 2018 and 2019 seasons.
Football Schedules:
sometimes i wish BYU were a pushover so we could get more home and home games with BCS teams.
BYU fans need to realize that BYU is a medium good team. Not great, not bad, medium. Fan expectations are too high and after everything BYU has gotten recently it isn't enough. The 2013 schedule is Texas, Utah State, Georgia Tech, Houston, Boise State, Notre Dame, Hawaii, and Washington State. That is the best schedule BYU has ever had and yet BYU fans are crying. Does that make sense?
p.s. I am also a BYU fan
fully aware we're a medium team, that's why we don't get these HandH's. If we were an easy win we could get them. But since we're likely to win at least one of 2 games the mediocre BCS teams don't want to schedule us as much.
BYU is going to keep have a tough time getting decent games after week 4 or 5. A lot of teams prefer to get their non-cons out of the way in September and play their conferences in a row the last 8 or 9 weeks.
Iowa State is a BSC school by conference affiliation only. Do you think Oklahoma would make the trip to Akron? How about USC or Michigan?
No, but I'd rather have Iowa St than Idaho or New Mexico St
Oklahoma is making the trip to El Paso this year….UTEP is on par with a top MAC program…
Jinzo, I would say a C-USA program such as UTEP is on par with the Mt. West. Plus that is a recruiting trip to Texas for the Sooners. I do not think the Buffs will bring in many recruits from the Northeast. The MAC is more on par with the Sun Belt. Troy could win the MAC in any given year.
Michigan State is actually traveling to Central Michigan this year,and has WMU and EMU on future schedules.
I suspect that EMU will move the game to Ford Field in Detroit too accommodate the Spartan fans and their money.
ISU Rocks what? Where? When?
Yeah, sorry about that too. Was just trying to provide a little scheduling humor and the picture just kind of fit, so I went with it.

Often, a one-win season can be the equivalent of kissing your sister, but for the Oliver Springs Bobcats, that win against the Sunbright Tigers had to be like kissing Megan Fox as they pulled off their first win of the 2010-2011 basketball season with a 51-40 stunner over the Sunbright Tigers.
The Bobcats started the season with 25 straight losses, but have shown steady improvement over the last month and missed out with close losses against Coalfield, Oakdale and District 4-A champion Jellico in the past three weeks.
For the second time in five days, the Harriman Blue Devils and Lady Devils picked up a District 3-A sweep over Greenback.
On Monday, it was the Blue Devils picking up a pair of victories at home. Friday night, Harriman took their brooms to Greenback and completed the season sweep of the Cherokees.
The Lady Devils opened the evening with a 52-34 victory then the Blue Devils completed the sweep with a 74-55 victory in the nightcap game.
Girls Game
Friday's contest was close for a half, but the second half belonged to the Lady Devils as Harriman rolled to an 18-point victory.
Friday night was a tough night for the Kingston Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets as Alcoa came to town and took a pair of District 4-AA games from the home team.
The first game of the night was a nail-biter as Alcoa held off the Lady Jackets, 44-41.
There would be no drama in the second game as the Tornadoes rolled to a 70-53 victory.
Girls Game
Once again the Lady Jackets came close to pulling an upset in District 4-AA play, but in the end they came up just short.
What a difference one night makes. After getting trounced by Kingston the night before, the Rockwood Lady Tigers redeemed themselves with a 69-39 win over the Midway Lady Waves.
Midway would hit the first three points and the last three points of the opening period, but in between there was a 17-4 run by the Lady Tigers, giving them a 17-10 lead early on.
Runs of 12-3 and 9-1 in the second period then helped give the Lady Tigers a 38-18 halftime lead.
It was a good news, bad news type of weekend for Randy Nesbit's Roane State Raiders.
The good news came Friday night as Roane State knocked off visiting Motlow State, 68-66.
The bad news came on Saturday, however, as the Raiders dropped their first home game of the season, falling to Volunteer State, 83-67.
With the split, Roane State falls to 14-7 overall and 8-6 in TJCCAA play.
The Raiders have two more conference games on tap this week. The Raiders travel to Chattanooga State Wednesday and they will host Cleveland State on Saturday.
The Roane State Raiderettes remain in a dog fight for the top spot in the TJCCAA standings following a weekend sweep of conference foes.
Friday night, the Raiderettes disposed of Motlow State, 73-46, and they followed that up on Saturday with an 84-70 victory over Volunteer State.
With the sweep, the Raiderettes are currently 16-5 overall and 12-2 in conference play.
The Raiderettes have also won six games in a row following the weekend sweep.
The Kingston Yellow Jackets and Lady Jackets celebrated Senior Night in style on Monday as both teams picked up victories over visiting Coalfield.
The Lady Jackets took the floor first on Monday and gutted out a 59-50 victory over Coalfield.
The boys game would see Coalfield lead throughout, but Kingston ended the game with a 13-0 run to pick up a 56-46 victory.
Kingston's Haley Cornellison put on a show Monday night as the talented Kingston sophomore scored a game-high 26 points and pulled down 15 rebounds in leading the Lady Jackets to a 59-50 victory.
Monday, Feb. 7
Coalfield at Kingston (High School)
Tuesday, Feb. 8
The Kingston Lady Jackets were the ultimate opportunists Thursday evening against the Rockwood Lady Tigers, using 21 team steals to cruise to a 58-40 victory.
Roane State didn't play a game on Friday, but the Raiders did turn a double play of sorts as Harriman seniors Cody Barnard and Tyler Dishman signed scholarship papers to play baseball for David Lane's squad.

|Features several Boba Fett articles including:
* a one-page interview with Jeremy Bulloch
* a multi-page interview with Daniel Logan about his role as Young Boba Fett in The Clone Wars animated series
* a multi-page article by Leeland Y. Chee on Boba Fett and his history
Excerpt of Chee's retrospective:
The tangled past of Boba Fett is a striking example of just how messy Star Wars Expanded University continuity can get. His early life remained a mystery until the mid-1990s, when clues to his past as a Journeyman Protector from Concord Dawn became his official back-story for a time. But when Episode II revealed Boba Fett as the unaltered clone of a bounty hunter named Jango Fett, his past had to be completely rewritten. In celebration of Boba Fett's appearance in The Clone Wars animated series, Insider takes a look back at over 30 years of Boba Fett's ever changing history.
Timeline includes:
* November 1978: The Star Wars Holiday Special
* 1979: Kenner mail-away
* May 1980: The Empire Strikes Back
* June 1980: "The Frozen World of Ota"
* February 1983: Star Wars #68
* September 1985: Droids "A Race to the Finish"

William Holme Twentyman
William Holme Twentyman (31 October 1802 – 7 May 1884) was a silversmith in Cape Town, who amassed a considerable fortune on Mauritius and retired at the age of 39.
William Holme Twentyman was born in Liverpool, the son of John Middleton Twentyman (a cooper and trader) and Phoebe Holme. In 1818 he went to the Cape with his elder brother Lawrence Holme Twentyman (a silversmith and watchmaker), after they inherited money from a great uncle. The brothers arrived in Cape Town on 12 June 1818 on the Ann. William was apprenticed to Lawrence as a silversmith and watchmaker, and later became a partner in Twentyman & Co, running his own shop next door to that of his brother.[1]
In 1828 he moved to Mauritius, arriving on the Winscales on 19 January 1829, where he ran a business as a watch seller and jeweler in Port Louis.[2] On 2 June 1832 at the Anglican Church of Port Louis he married Celia Pinch, daughter of John Pinch the elder an architect in Bath, Somerset. During June/July 1832 he was caught up in the slave rebellion on Mauritius with his shop coming under siege.[3] By 1841 William had amassed a considerable fortune and, with his family, had returned to England, residing at 21 Avenue Road, Regent's Park, London.[4]
William Twentyman was elected Special Constable in 1848;[5] was admitted to the Freedom of the Spectacle Makers' Company by redemption on 3 June 1861;[6] admitted to the Freedom of the City of London by redemption through the Spectacle Makers' Company on 6 June 1861;[7] was Sheriff of the City of London from 1861 to 1862;[8] and Justice of the Peace (JP). He died on Wednesday 7 May 1884, at his residence, Ravensworth, St. John's Wood Park, London, and was buried in Highgate Cemetery. William Twentyman left a personal estate of £28173-15-6d.[9]

12 Tips to Think Like a Chef
Follow these short-order steps to make healthy meals easy.
"This is good stuff! I'm out of town right now but can't wait to put this to use when I get back home! "
Tip 7: Work in a bigger bowl than you think you need. Ever seen someone try to make tuna salad for four in a cereal bowl? Get out the big bowls—you'll avoid a mess on the counter, and you won't have to transfer contents to bigger bowls once they become unwieldy.
Tip 8: Do messy work in the sink. Stir batters, coatings and spice mixtures in bowls set in the sink. Spills are simply washed down the drain.
Tip 9: Turn up the heat. While you shouldn't sauté onions in butter over high heat (the butter solids will burn and the onions will then stick and scorch), you also shouldn't do so over low (the onions will just wilt and turn greasy). Don't be afraid of higher temperatures—within reason. If you're minding the skillet, the ingredients will not burn.Next: Clean As You Go & More Tips for Thinking Like a Chef »

Key Word Density for SEO
Key word density is an on-page ranking factor in search engine optimization. When optimizing a webpage, you will want to pay attention to the key word density of the terms you are trying to rank for.
Key word density is a measure of how many times a particular keyword appears in the text of a webpage in relation to the total number of words on that page. For example, if the phrase "blue widgets" appears three times on a page with 100 total words, the key word density for the phrase "blue widgets" would be 3%.
It is impossible to say what an optimal key word density is for ranking high in the search engines, but it is fair to say that keyword stuffing is an outdated method that will only hurt you. You can no longer fill a page with a bunch of keywords over and over and expect to rank high. The search engines will see your page as being unnatural and penalize you heavily.
But you certainly do need to have your keywords appear on the page in order to rank for the terms and phrases you desire. There is actually no optimal key word density in general, but you can get an idea of what works by looking at your competitors' sites.
If you are targeting the phrase "blue widgets", then perform a Google search for "blue widgets" and go to the first page that is listed. Figure out what the key word density is for "blue widgets" on that page and write it down. Do the same for all of the top ten listings. This will give you a good indication of what key word density is preferred by Google for that term.
Once you have an indication of a strong key word density for your term, you will have a new tool in your SEO toolbox to take another step up the search engine rankings.

A new study links stress to fertility issues.
Researchers from Ohio State University followed about 400 couples for up to a year as the couples tried to conceive. They found that women who had the highest level of a certain stress bio-marker also had a "29-percent decreased probability of pregnancy over time."
By the end of the study those same women also had a two-fold increased risk of infertility. Keep in mind the study shows associations-- not causes.
Researchers did not investigate why stress might lead to infertility.

"Rila Monastery" Top 5 Page for this destination Rilski Manastir by zlatiq
Rilski Manastir Travel Guide: 88 reviews and 297 photos
The monastery is a part of the UNESCO's World Heritage List.
Brief description by UNESCO: The Convent of Rila, rebuilt between 1834 and 1860, incorporates the legacies of Saint Ivan of Rilski, 10th-century evangelist of the Slavs, and the remains of a medieval monastery into a distinctive neo- Byzantine monument. Characteristic of the Bulgarian Renaissance, this monument symbolises the awareness of a Slavic cultural identity following centuries of occupation.

Remarkably Lighter and Stronger
Our broadest selection of rod blanks. They employ an all-new smaller diameter blank design with an improved resin system to produce a 15 percent lighter weight rod blanks than comparable graphites on the market. These rod blanks exhibit properties found only in second and third generation graphites. Superior performance at a great price.
Traditional, Classic-Style Action
This is our most distinguished series of rod blanks. We use first generation graphite coupled with an improved resin formula to reduce overall rod blank weight while maintaining classic moderately fast actions. This series spans a broad range of actions, line ratings and specialty models to cover most fishing applications.
E-Glass Earned Its Place In History
This material is structurally the most durable of the fiberglass family. The glass properties are expressly matched to each unique application such as cranking rod blanks for bass; mooching and downrigger rod blanks for salmon, shark, tuna, stripers and king mackerel. We use the same epoxy resins and composites material technology in these rod blanks as we do in our graphite models to offer you lighter weight and improved sensitivity over other manufacturers fiberglass rod blanks.
Exclusive Graphite / Fiberglass Construction
Features our proprietary Tri-Wall construction. Unequaled high quality E-Glass rod blanks are externally and internally reinforced with graphite through the butt and mid portion of the blank to reduce overall weight by 30-50% depending on the model. The tips are lightning fast and softer so they cast live bait as well as throw heavy iron, while the graphite reinforced portion of the rod blank gives tremendous fish fighting control and lifting power.

I'm regularly encountering a kernel panic on my FreeBSD 9 laptop.
I have not been able to fix the problem by updating my system to the current stable version (which I got from the ctm-svn), so how shall I go forth to find out the reason for this kernel panic and how to get rid of it?
I have the three files
core.txt.N and
vmcore.N that
savecore writes to
/var/crash during the boot process, where
info.N contains something like
Dump header from device /dev/ada0p3
Architecture: amd64
Architecture Version: 2
Dump Length: 289755136B (276 MB)
Blocksize: 512
Dumptime: Mon Feb 4 08:07:41 2013
Hostname: hostname
Magic: FreeBSD Kernel Dump
Version String: FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #4 r246115: Sat Feb 2 14:29:28 GMT 2013
Panic String: page fault
Dump Parity: 2576771399
Bounds: 3
Dump Status: good
core.txt.N contains more context and
vmcore.N is huge.
