Kansas State University
Dept. of History
208 Eisenhower Hall
Manhattan, KS 66506-1002
Phone 785.532.6730
Fax 785.532.2045
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Areas of Specialization:
Agricultural and Environmental, American West, Modern Europe, Military, Rural Studies, U.S., and Women and Gender
Program Description
Department of History offers well-prepared students the opportunity to work closely with an exceptionally productive and well regarded faculty. The department aims to help students find and fully develop their talents, and to help them establish themselves as independent scholars, teachers, and historical professionals. The department offers programs of study leading to the master of arts and doctor of philosophy degrees in selected traditional and innovative fields. In addition to various American, European, and East Asian fields, the department's strengths include areas such as social and cultural history, religious history, history of sport, the American West, and 20th-century United States history. An area of particular emphasis at Kansas State University is military history.
Special Programs or Resources
The university's Hale Library has a number of large, specialized collections. In addition, nearby are several excellent research facilities: the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, with outstanding holdings relating to the Eisenhower administration and recent military history; the Kansas State Historical Archives in Topeka; the Truman Presidential Library in Independence, Missouri, with valuable collections on the Truman administration, the history of the American presidency, and foreign policy; the Linda Hall Library, in Kansas City, Missouri, emphasizing materials pertaining to science and the history of science; and the regional Federal Records Center in Kansas City, currently rich in military and civilian records and which will eventually have a microfilm duplication of the main holdings of the National Archives in Washington.
Financial Aid
The Department of History also offers graduate teaching assistantships to qualified students on a competitive basis. For 2007-08 the stipend for graduate students holding GTA positions was $9,000 for nine months. GTAs also receive a full tuition waiver. Beginning GTAs work as graders or discussion leaders, and experienced assistants are frequently assigned independent sections of survey courses. Prospective students wishing to be considered for graduate teaching assistantships must complete their applications for admission by December 1st of the preceding year.
Prospective students may apply simultaneously for admission to the graduate program and for a GTA. Anyone wishing to be considered for an assistantship should indicate in the blank at the bottom of the statement of objectives form; no additional form is required.
Degree Requirements
The doctor of philosophy requires completing 30 hours of course work beyond the master's, satisfying the language requirement, passing the qualifying examination, and writing a sound dissertation based on original historical research that is approved by the student's committee. The qualifying examination includes separate examinations in a geographically and chronologically defined general field (early modern, or modern Europe or United States) and three special fields, one of which must offer a mode of understanding that is significantly different from the dissertation field or be from outside the field of history.
Doctoral students must also establish an intermediate to mid-level of reading proficiency in a foreign language. Students will demonstrate their proficiency by one of the following methods:
(1) A student may provide evidence that he or she passed a four-semester sequence, or the equivalent, in one foreign language at the undergraduate level with an overall grade point average of 3.0 or better. In addition, the student must have achieved a 3.0 or better in the fourth or final course in the sequence. In the case of students whose coursework makes it difficult to determine if they have met this standard, the Chair and the Director of Graduate Studies will, in consultation with the major advisor, determine the student's status. Or,
(2) A student may provide evidence that he or she passed an equivalent graduate-level reading/comprehension examination at another accredited university. Or,
(3) A student may pass a foreign language examination certifying reading/translation proficiency at the "intermediate-high" level, defined by the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). The full definition of "intermediate-high" can be found in at http://www.actfl.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/public/ACTFLProficiencyGuidelines2012_FINAL.pdf.
Supervisory committees may specify which of the three methods the student must use to demonstrate proficiency. Further, the supervisory committee may require that the student demonstrate a higher standard of proficiency in a foreign language, and/or additional specialized research skills, including an additional foreign language.
All PhD students must complete the foreign language requirement and any other research proficiencies required by their supervisory committee prior to the taking of the preliminary examination.

Open casting calls for actors and extras will be held Saturday and Sunday at Bartlesville High School for a movie being developed for filming in Bartlesville, according to a news release issued this week by Norman-based Freihofer Casting.
"With the support of the Oklahoma Film and Music Office, Freihofer Casting is conducting additional open casting calls for actors and extras to be considered for speaking and nonspeaking roles in an upcoming family oriented Hollywood romantic drama to be filmed in Oklahoma," casting director Chris Freihofer said in the release.
Film office director Jill Simpson would not confirm recent reports that a movie directed by former Bartlesville resident Terrence Malick and starring Ben Affleck, Rachel Weisz and Rachel McAdams would be filmed in Bartlesville. Local officials also have declined to comment on the reports.
"Well, we're scouting a number of films right now and there is a major film slotted for September in the Bartlesville area, and one for October in the Oklahoma City metro, and these are high-quality productions and there's casting going on and they are coming in, but that's about all I can say," Simpson told The Oklahoman on Wednesday.

LOS Sustainability
Like a three-legged stool, you need all the parts or it won't work.
By Tina Grady Barbaccia
Back in the late 1960s, the Alexandria, Va.-based Salt Institute started a program called "Sensible Salting," which was based on applying the minimum amount of salt or other proper deicing/anti-icing material at the right time. "You need to have an objective measure of what's important to you in whatever material you use," Salt Institute President Emeritus Dick Hanneman tells Better Roads.
Hanneman says to achieve this, it's crucial to get plow operators involved. "If you only educate the manager and don't educate the people on the truck – the people actually pushing the buttons – it's unlikely to be very successful," he says. "More than just the managers need to understand the [salting and deicing] program."
Highways are the arteries linking our economy and our society, but only if they are open and safe. "Driving in a snowstorm increases a driver's risk of a crash far more than driving impaired by alcohol or drugs," according to the Salt Institute's website. "We need to operate our roads so that would-be highway users can be assured that they and their cargos can arrive safely within a predictable window of time. Snow and ice contribute to congestion and traffic crashes. Winter weather congestion affects 70 percent of U.S. roadways."
However, the standard definition of sustainability doesn't really help when it comes to how often you should plow and how much salt you should use, adds Wilf Nixon, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at the University of Iowa.
"We need something that is more inclusive and more precise, if we are really going to make sensible winter maintenance decisions," Nixon says. "Sustainability is typically defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sadly, this is rather imprecise," he says. "It does not tell us whether a given activity is sustainable, or how we can develop a sustainable winter maintenance program."
What Is Your Level of Service (LOS)?
The Winter Service Committee of the World Road Association (also known as PIARC) has been examining how to bring sustainability into the winter maintenance process, Nixon says. "The approach is that sustainability lies at the intersection of three areas of interest: societal, economic and environmental," he says. "They represent this by three overlapping circles, each of which represents one of the areas of interest [similar to a Venn Diagram]. The area in which all three circles overlap represents a sustainable balance of the three interests of driving forces."
Nixon says that the point is "that we come up with sensible decisions good for safety and mobility on the highway and the environment. Good environmental maintenance is good environmental stewardship."
These decisions often depend on societal expectations, which can change over time, Nixon says. "What do people in the area you are serving expect from winter maintenance that you do?" For example, Nixon says, a farming community might be quite comfortable with snow on the roads and may not see a need for bare and wet pavements. "If they all have four-wheel-drive cars, completely clear roads aren't a concern," he says. But if it's an urban environment, bare and wet pavements may be the expectation.
These expectations, known as level of service (LOS), can change over time, Nixon says. "Maybe folks who used to live in the 'burbs think it might be nice to get a place out in the country," he says. "But they are very surprised when they have snow and ice as part of a daily commute when they aren't used to it. Should that be what drives what we do, or should we simply say, 'You moved to the country, live with it.'?
"These are sorts of questions we need to be asking," Nixon continues. "If we don't ask them, we'll be saying there is a one-size-fits-all solution. We have to be much more flexible than that. What works for a city in Iowa might be completely inappropriate for an urban county in Washington state."
There are several ways (singularly and in combination) highway agencies characterize the LOS they provide. These include the level of effort, priority of treatment, types of treatments and results in terms of pavement conditions at various points in time during and after snow and ice events, according to the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 526 "Snow and Ice Control: Guidelines for Materials and Methods" (http://www.onlinepubs.trb.org/onlinepubs/nchrp/nchrp_rpt_526.pdf).
The level of effort category includes assigning more people and equipment to higher priority routes, providing more or less effort during certain time frames, and varying the number of people and equipment providing treatment in relationship to the predicted severity of the event, according to the NCHRP report. "The priority of treatment category includes giving first and/or more frequent treatment to higher traffic routes, high-accident/problem locations, commercial/business locations, school bus routes, transit routes, health facilities, firehouse locations and schools," the report notes. Some highway agencies use a system of providing treatment on a highway priority basis whereby the next lower category of highway is not treated until higher category roads are in "satisfactory" condition, according to NCHRP Report 526.
"A good way to define LOS is in terms of results at various points in time," the report notes. Examples include maximum accumulation of snow on highways during a storm, absence of pack or bond during a storm, bare/wet pavement (x) hours after end-of-event, plowed and sanded (x) hours after end-of-event, friction number > (y) (x) hours after end-of-event, road plowed and road passable, according to the report.

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Farmers in the nation's breadbasket who only recently were praying for an end to a withering drought are now pining for enough sunshine and heat to dry their muddy fields in time to plant their corn and other crops.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says only 12 percent of the nation's cornfields have been planted. That's about a quarter of the amount farmers had planted by this point in the season over the last five years.
In Iowa, which is the nation's biggest corn producer, only 8 percent of the corn crop is in the ground. That's down from 62 percent at this point last year.
Farmer John Reifsteck says if he has to wait much longer, he may have to plant less corn on his 1,800-acre central Illinois farm.
Rain eases drought for some, but not all
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Rain that moved across the Midwest in the past week has helped ease drought conditions for some farmers.
The weekly drought monitor report from the National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska was released Thursday. It shows the rain that caused flooding in some areas of the Midwest helped decrease the drought area from the upper Midwest into the western corn belt and central portions of the Rockies and Great Plains.
But there's a new problem: The heavy rain has left fields muddy in Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois. And that means corn planting will be behind schedule.
All of the country's drought-parched states aren't out of the woods. The report shows drought is intensifying from western Texas into northern California.
Drought ending in St. Louis area
The agency's latest update shows soil conditions in the City of St. Louis, St. Louis County, Jefferson County and eastern St. Charles County have returned to normal after almost 9 months of drought. Western St. Charles, Lincoln and most of Franklin Counties are still listed as "dryer than normal."
The southeastern third of Missouri, as well as southern and central Illinois had been declared drought-free weeks ago.
Snow, rain wipe out low water troubles on Mississippi River - for now
The river reached an historic low at St. Louis on January first - the ninth lowest level ever recorded, and just a foot-and-a-half above the record low. Since then, snowfall and rain across the Midwest have brought the Mississippi back up to normal levels.
Army Corps of Engineers spokesman Mike Petersen told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that they believe the worst is over. But Petersen cautioned that low water levels could return if the drought persists in the Midwest.
Illinois farmers happy winter storm brought precipitation to area
From his acreage near Edwardsville, Campbell welcomed the snow. Like many farms, his soil in southwestern Illinois craves any moisture after a bone-dry growing season last year.
Climatologists say a foot of snow is roughly equal to an inch of water, depending on the snow's density. Campbell's region isn't getting quite that much, but the snow is important to growers of winter wheat. That crop goes dormant over winter before resuming growth in the spring, along the way using snow cover as a protective insulating blanket.
The latest weekly U.S. Drought Monitor update shows more than half of the continental U.S. still in some form of drought.
Dredging on Mississippi River is done for the Winter
The Army Corps of Engineers has been using two dredges, one from Memphis, Tenn., the other from St. Louis, to help keep the river channel clear. The work has been especially important this winter because the river level has been near historic lows, threatening barge traffic.
The corps says the dredges need seasonal maintenance, and crews are due for time off. The dredging season normally ends in November but was extended in the so-far successful fight to keep the river open.
The two dredges removed more than 8 million cubic yards of sediment in the last six months in the area between St. Louis and Cairo, Ill. The corps says that is more than twice the normal amount.

Struggling with Nitaqat implementation, say employers
DUBAI: Private sector employers are struggling to keep up with the pace of reform as they grapple with the implementation of Nitaqat, according to a new report from Hay Group. The Kingdom's approach to nationalization via Nitaqat is the focus of a new report exploring the perceived strengths and weaknesses of the program, according to senior expatriate business leaders in Saudi Arabia. Nitaqat in the Spotlight, highlights key challenges as well as many positive aspects of the program that provide a new and refreshing insight into development priorities for Saudization of the private sector.The author of the report, Chance Wilson, general manager at Hay Group in Saudi Arabia, says one of the key themes to emerge from the report is the need for greater alignment between stakeholders: "Everyone aspires for the same end result but different approaches leave the private sector with a strong sense that they are bearing the brunt of the pain. In the short term this is bad for business and is ultimately unsustainable."
Wilson says one of the issues that came out of the report is the creation of artificial salary expectations in the market: "The current approach is resulting in upward pressure on salaries that is caused by a program which by design, inflates the worth of individuals through national identity, rather than skills and experience. This in turn distorts the market norms."
The research, which took place between August 2011 and January 2012, recognizes a need for more effective dialogue between the government and employers. Specifically, it recommends greater collaboration and better communication, planning, and resolution surrounding the implementation of the Nitaqat program.
"There is strong evidence that expatriate professionals both embrace the reform agenda and want to contribute in a positive way. Knowledge transfer and succession planning are key to creating a sustainable national work force, and more practical action by all parties is required in order to make this happen," said Wilson.

With VHDL-AMS, it's possible to get your model and simulator to report performance … Read More

Once in awhile I work with customers who want to move VHDL-AMS models between multiple simulators. The ability to do so is one of the great promises of standard modeling languages and, at face value, should be an easy task.

One of the most important things I've learned during my 20+ years working with simulation tools is simply this: my simulation results will only be as good as my models.

ESPN Doesn't Acknowledge Elephant In The Room When Reporting On Online Poker Crackdown
If you are an online poker player or just a fan of poker (who the hell is a fan of poker but doesn't play it?), then my condolences to you. Buried below the many headlines this Friday is news that the Debbie Downer FBI has charged the biggest three online poker companies with a multitude of crimes related to how they continue to operate and have US customers despite online poker and sports betting being illegal in the US.
"The founders of three of the largest Internet poker sites bribed and tricked their way past U.S. gambling laws, federal prosecutors said Friday.
Nearly a dozen people connected to international gaming sites PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker were charged with bank fraud, money laundering and illegal gambling - and their companies face over $3 billion in penalties and forfeitures, authorities said."
Given ESPN has a ton of poker programming including the WSOP series which gets ample amount of run time on ESPN's family of networks, this was obviously a story they reported on and they did. But they forgot to mention one thing: ESPN takes in a likely 8 figure amount of advertising and sponsorship revenue from the companies now embroiled in legal controversy.
The fact that ESPN takes handfuls of money from these companies is not really a secret nor really that surprising. I don't really think many people even care. I don't care. But they certainly have to acknowledge that relationship now that sh*t has hit the fan with these partner companies. ESPN.com did when running their story on the topic with a disclosure at the end of the article.
" Poker Stars and Full Tilt are sponsors of ESPN poker programming."
It's not a trivial relationship that is really a flash in the pan of ESPN's revenue. These companies buy ads in the magazine, on television (the Phil Ivey and Daniel Negreanu commercials), and have been some of the limited advertisers who have done front page road blocks off the website which is a rare occurrence on espn.com. If Neil Everrett and Sportscenter is going to put on their serious face /"we need to talk" camera angle then they should also cop to the relationship they had in place with the companies in question. When they mention news about ESPN personalities, they're always pretty good about disclosing their relationship and connection to the parties involved in any potential scandal.

Caramel Latte Popsicles!
This luscious, frosty pick-me-up is a splendidly sweet summer treat.
Here's how to make your own Caramel Latte Popsicles…
Brewed coffee (leftover from your morning pot of joe is perfect!)
Cream and caramel syrup to taste
Of course, you can make whatever flavor is your personal favorite by substituting any syrup you like. Just mix the ingredients and pour them into mini glasses, filling each glass two-thirds full.
Cover each mini glass with foil and poke a hole in the center of each. Slip the familiar and fun retro striped straws into each glass and stash them in the freezer for a few hours. When the mixture is frozen, add a splash of half and half to each glass and place them back in the freezer until they are completely frozen. Be sure to leave a little room at the top, as they'll expand as they freeze.
These sweet latte pops add an elegant element of the unexpected to a summer bridal shower or 40th birthday party. Or, just give yourself an extra boost on a hot summer afternoon. Pull out the Slip-and-Slide for the kiddos, and settle in with a caramel latte popsicle while the kids enjoy the backyard thrills and chills.

Veterans gone but never forgotten
For some people, Memorial Day weekend is a time to go to a lake or cabin, plan shopping trips or find other ways to take advantage of three days off from work.By: Regan Carstensen, The Republican Eagle
For some people, Memorial Day weekend is a time to go to a lake or cabin, plan shopping trips or find other ways to take advantage of three days off from work.
Despite how popular it is to get out of town on extended weekends, hundreds of people will remain in Red Wing and attend a service that honors the true meaning of Memorial Day — veterans.
"I estimate anywhere from 500 to 800 people would give up their time to come down," Red Wing's Memorial Day committee chairman Daryl Duden said of the local event that's planned for Monday morning at Bay Point Park.
Just as in years past, the Memorial Day observance will start with a salute at 8:15 a.m. at John Rich Park. The service will begin at 8:45 a.m. at Bay Point, honoring departed comrades from the Red Wing area. Its schedule won't change much from what it has been in previous years, but a new keynote speaker will be in attendance.
Minnesota's 30th Adjutant General, Maj. Gen. Richard C. Nash will give the main address about halfway through the service.
"The demands for him are all over, but he actually accepted our invitation," Duden said.
Although the entire service is expected to last only an hour, that doesn't mean veterans receive just an hour of recognition. As an additional way to honor them, flags and bronze stars will be marking hundreds of gravesites throughout Red Wing for several days to come.
"If you go to our cemeteries in town this weekend … you'll see a sea of red, white and blue," Duden said.
Since veterans don't receive special recognition every day of the year, Duden said it's important for Americans to have a national holiday that makes sure the fallen military men and women aren't forgotten.
"If there's only one day a year where you would remember those who were willing to give their lives for the country," Memorial Day would be the one, he said.
The service at Bay Point Park isn't the only opportunity available for people to recognize Memorial Day. The following events are just some of those that will be held throughout Goodhue and Pierce counties on Monday May 28:
Bay City area
The Bay City American Legion is performing Memorial Day services at the following locations:
• 8 a.m. at Esdaile Cemetery
• 8:30 a.m. at Hartland Methodist Cemetery
• 9 a.m. at Tabor Lutheran Cemetery
• 9:30 a.m. at Bay City lakeshore; Ellsworth Middle School Band and local Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts will attend
• 10 a.m. at Bay City Cemetery; Ellsworth band will play and Legionnaire Jon Ebensperger will speak
• 10:45 a.m. at Trenton Cemetery; Ellsworth band will play and Ebensperger will speak
• 11:30 a.m. at Diamond Bluff Cemetery
• Noon at Svea Lutheran Cemetery
The annual Memorial Day observance will be held at 9:30 a.m. at the Evergreen Cemetery in Goodhue. Activities featured will include remarks, patriotic readings by Goodhue School students, musical selections, presentation of the Colors, a rifle salute and Taps.
Participants of the event will be the Third Regiment of Minnesota Infantry Volunteers, Company C, and members of the American Legion Post 598 from Bellechester.
The ceremony is expected to last about half an hour.
Lake City
The Lake City Historical Society will hold its annual Memorial Day cemetery tour from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Lakewood Cemetery on Lakewood Avenue.
Costumed characters will portray seven notable people in Lake City history, including local poet Nell Mabey and pioneer pharmacist Thomas Gibbs. Tour guides and light refreshments will be available. A $5 donation is suggested. Call Don Schwartz at 651-345-2692 for more information.
Red Wing
The American Legion Post 54 will serve a champagne brunch from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The meal includes scrambled eggs, sausage, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, and fried potatoes.
The veterans will make and serve the brunch. Cost is $9.50.

Bouillabaisse, The Legend, The Reality
In all of our histories we have one dish that becomes legendary. Think about it. Even if it is just a PB&J assembled at the top of a mountain after a 5 mile hike, or some other such situation. We all have one dish that we made or assembled that lives forever. In my case it was a Beef Bourguignon that I made in 1999 or 2000 while living in Alexandria. Several friends still talk about that Bourguignon to this day. In Maman's case it is her famous Bouillabaisse of 1975. I have never made a bouillabaisse. It is quite simple really, I am terrified of making it. You see it is one of her legendary dishes. Who wants to be compared to a legend?
That doesn't mean I don't want to learn how to make it...just that a recipe card wasn't going to do it for me. Before I started the writing for this blog, I started thinking about the recipes I wanted to feature. I knew that sooner or later I wanted to post about Bouillabaisse. I wanted to tell the story of 2 couples, three kids and a French Grandmother stuck together in a little two bedroom beach cottage on Siesta Key. It was 1975 and Papa had made an agreement with Governor Hugh Gregg. The Governor owned some land in Siesta Key Florida and wanted to open a restaurant, and he asked Papa to open and operate it for him. It was called The Greenhouse and in later years The Summerhouse. It recently closed after a very long run. But first it was a construction site, where two little girls and one little boy like to fish. The restaurant rose out of the ground with three walls of glass looking out into the lush tropical forest. There were dining rooms on several levels, and almost every table was on a wall of glass looking out.
Papa knew he was going to need some help so he called in one of his best friends, Andre. Andre came down with his then wife Marguerite, their son Yann, and his mother Madame Pirio. Madame Pirio had the dubious honor of keeping an eye on her grandson Yann (age 3), Jacqueline (age 4), and me (the almost grown up??? 8 year old). Papa ran the kitchen, Marguerite ran the door, Maman took the upstairs dining room and Andre took the main floor. One day I will have to tell you about waiting for the C of O, and make food that wasn't supposed to be in the restaurant dissapear. But let me just say the restaurant was a hit! The four of them and the staff they hired nearly didn't keep up with the demand.
The four of them would come home to the cottage too keyed up to sleep, too exhausted to move. Madame would be asleep in my parents room and Jaqueline and Yann would be asleep in ours. I would sneak out to see what was going on. They would open a bottle of wine and deal the cards to unwind while talking about what went right, what went wrong and what needed to be done the next day. But one day the weather was right, and there was no more room in Maman's freezer for more of the little fish we would bring home. Everyone was being lazy around the cottage and she got busy. It was Bouillabaisse time. All I can say is that it was one of those moments. I don't remember as much as I should, but for the last 37 years someone mentions Maman and Bouillabaisse and the instant response is, "...do you remember Siesta Key?"
So I talked to Maman and told her it was time to teach me. She said okay. Meanwhile it has taken more than a year to get my lesson.
On a recent trip to FL for Jacqueline's award ceremony for teacher of the year (yeah Jacqueline!), Maman decided the time was right. I have also mentioned in my writing that part of the challenge of this blog is figuring out how to measure, and time recipes for recording. I am a genius compared to trying to track Maman as she cooks! OMG! Not only do I now know who I get the pinch of this and a "soupcon" of that from...she is worse than I am. AND I apologize to all my friends who have tried to record one of my recipes as I cook it, I get it.
First she didn't want to talk to me while she was chopping and thinking about the next step. Second when I peered over her shoulder (which should have been easy as I tower over her by a good 7 inches), she would hunch over and shoo me away. What was up with that? You will have to forgive some of my guesstimate.
A great part of the fun in this lesson was having some of the philosophical discussions about the ingredients and the traditions behind Bouillabaisse.
Lets start by reminding everyone that Bouillabaisse was developed as the fisherman's stew. The boat would come in, and the "good" fish would go to market. What was left became dinner for the crew. It is also a dish from Marseilles and as a result the key ingredients and flavors come from that area. It is redolent with olive oil, onions, fennel, tomatoes and garlic. Today it is a dish that each family holds THEIR famous version near and dear, and all will tell you theirs is the best.
Maman's is distinctly hers and never the same twice...here are some of the debates:
1. She starts with a combination of leeks and onions. Many recipes you will find agree, but some only use onions. In the time I have spent in the south of France, I don't remember a lot of leeks. Everywhere else, lots. But when visiting with Tatan Yvonne, I don't remember the leeks. Maman's answer, I like to mix them. Okay, I can go with that.
2. Fresh fennel or fennel seeds. Again both. Maman had some fresh fennel fronds that she chopped up and put in the initial stages of the cooking. She wasn't happy with the final stock so she crushed about a teaspoon of fennel seeds and it made all the difference in the world.
3. White wine, or dry vermouth or Pernod. Maman normally uses white wine. This day she didn't have an open bottle. I said, "Maman, two bottles in the fridge for three ladies? I am sure we can spare a little." She wasn't convinced it was enough???? (Might I interject we didn't finish the first bottle.) I asked if dry vermouth would work. She thought that an excellent idea, she uses dry vermouth in cooking fish often. It tasted lovely here. Mid-pour though she did comment, "Papa used to use Pernod, I never liked it as well though." I on the other hand love Pernod in cooking, I may have to try it.
4. La Rouille. A rouille is a garlicy mayonnaise that binds the broth after you serve the soup. It also packs a punch in the flavor department that finishes this dish to perfection. But soooo many debates. Spicy or not? With potato or not? To add an egg yolk or not? A touch of lemon juice or not? We used Harissa for the heat, the potato and the egg yolk, and a good squish of fresh lemon. It was outstanding.
5. Now for the biggest debate: What kind of fish? There are no hard fast rules of what can go in...though there are a couple of no-no's (according to Maman).
a. Flaky delicate fishes don't work well, they fall apart. No trout, flounder, or sole.
b. Salmon, tuna, and swordfish are too heavy and oily with flavors that do not work really well with the fun stuff that starts the broth.
c. crab is not really indigenous to the south of France, not a star in this dish.
So what does go in? Firm fleshed white fishes that won't fall apart in your broth. With Maman we used Cod and haddock. You could as easily use Char, Halibut, Grouper, Snapper or Monk fish. If you brave enough to do some fish filleting table side some small whole rockfish or snapper is also a good choice.
Next shellfish or no? Keep in mind that the original was the poor man's soup. No shellfish. But today? Go for it. We used some Langoustine tails, yum. But feel free to add some shrimp, clams and mussels.
The final outcome? Amazing. Thank you Maman. Now I feel confident enough to try it at home. As a matter of fact tomorrow night, for a table of 10. Yikes! If I don't get it right? Pizza?
So. Last night was the dinner party and all I can say is; Damn! I did it. AND I didn't have to order Pizza. Even the kids ate not only the ginormous shrimp but the fish, clams, AND the garlicy croutons dunked in the broth. Amazing kids I might add that aren't picky eaters. Woo-hoo to those parents.
Notes on the above philosophical debates.
1. I used only onions, no leeks.
2. I used the fennel bulb, and the fennel seeds.
3. I went with the Pernod...sorry Maman, Papa was right, very good.
4. La Rouille. Spicy, check. Potato, check. Egg Yolk, check. Meyers Lemon juice, check.
5. The Fish. I went a little nuts. Halibut, 2 lbs. Perch, 2 lbs. Cod, 2lbs. Whole Red Snapper 1 small about 2.5 lbs. Monk fish, 2lbs. Then 10 u-6 shrimp and 18 clams. All Good.
I will do this again! Thanks for the lesson Maman!

Records: Veteran had been in mental hospital
FORT WORTH, Texas – The Iraq War veteran charged with killing a former Navy SEAL sniper and his friend on a Texas shooting range had been taken to a mental hospital twice in the past five months and told authorities he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, police records show.
Eddie Ray Routh, 25, also told his sister and brother-in-law after the shootings that he "traded his soul for a new truck," according to an Erath County arrest warrant affidavit obtained by WFAA-TV. Police said Routh was driving the truck of victim and ex-Navy SEAL Chris Kyle at the time of his arrest.
Routh is charged with one count of capital murder and two counts of murder in the shooting deaths of Kyle, author of the best-selling book "American Sniper," and his friend Chad Littlefield at a shooting range Saturday in Glen Rose. He is on suicide watch in the Erath County Jail, where he's being held on $3 million bail, Sheriff Tommy Bryant said.

Middletown Customers Impacted by Cox Widespread Email Outage
Cox Communication customers in Middletown report they are impacted by the large email outage
Cox Communications has reported outages with their email system that impact customers in the Midwest and East Coast regions. Middletown customers report they have been impacted as part of the widespread issue.
On the Middletown Patch Facebook page, Katie Waite said she has issues since Friday night.
On Twitter, Kate Burt (@KateKhronicles) called the outage "exasperating"
She said a similar situation happened a few years ago and after her account was restored, she found all her emails and folders were lost.
The company said it is unable to provide an estimated time for recovery, but will work around the clock until service is restored.
With no end in sight, "Your friend in the digital age," looks like it has some break-ups in the near future. Burt said after this second go-around with a major email outage, she is done with Cox.
Have you been impacted? Let us know in the comments!

A sealed envelope which contains a prediction is sitting in plain sight. You then pull out a small writing pad and ask a spectator to jot down a three-digit number. He then gives the pad to someone else who, in turn, writes down a three-digit number. After a third person from the audience has done this, you take the pad and pass it on to a fourth person on the other side of the room. You ask him to add up the three sets of numbers that were chosen at random. To the astonishment of your audience the sum of those three sets of numbers is equal to the number that you predicted, written on a piece of paper sealed in the envelope in full view all the time.
This wonderful utility prop looks like something you would see on a doctor or lawyer's desk but it's specially made to switch numbers, letters words, etc. and it's completely self-working.
This ingenious prop is entirely made from scratch, this is not a modified desk pad!
Solid walnut, with stainless steel ball chain.

Parenting with disabilities |
Both Sides of the Story
I grew up with parents that both had polio. My mom was unable to work due to the effects of the disease. My father also had polio. Luckily, he was able to work. I was perfectly healthy. My parents made sure I never missed out on anything. There were of course things they did not do, but my brother and I never missed out. At the age of 23 I suffered a catastrophic injury that has left me a paraplegic. My mom knew exactly what I would be going through and what I would face. It has brought us closer together and we were even able to participate in an adaptive kayaking weekend together. It was amazing to be on the water and have that experience with her. She has been my inspiration and has shown me how much I still can do. She has never let anything stop her, nor will I.

Until now, the PHP community has not had a tool that lets them monitor end user experiences in real time and see inside production web apps 24x7. Too often, the process of identifying and remediating bottlenecks has been reactive i.e. when end users start to complain about app problems. Those days are over! Recently, Acquia teamed with app management vendor New Relic to make New Relic's PHP end user and app monitoring capabilities available free of charge to Acquia customers. Here's your chance to learn more.
Join Acquia and New Relic for a live webcast where Bjorn Freeman-Benson, VP of engineering at New Relic, will explain how to monitor and manage live PHP web apps with New Relic and will share details of New Relic's recently introduced capabilities for real user monitoring. The presentation will include a live demo showing how easy it can be to make sure your PHP web apps and frameworks including Drupal, Wordpress, Zend are meeting high performance standards.

The Institute on High-Impact Practices and Student Success is designed to help campuses and systems develop institution-wide change strategies for the benefit of all students. It seeks to help institutions meet ambitious goals for improving both completion rates and the quality of student learning. Participant teams address barriers to student success and devise integrative plans to strengthen student learning—making intentional use of the Essential Learning Outcomes and high-impact practices. Highlighting the success of students from groups that have historically been underserved, the program supports work to make excellence inclusive. It builds on research indicating that all students benefit from high-impact practices and that less-advantaged students benefit even more when they participate equitably in these practices.
A campus team typically consists of a team leader and four team members. Team leaders are most often senior academic or student-affairs officers. Teams should be diverse and cross-functional, including persons with different perspectives on the work. Teams should recruit individuals who are significantly involved in the projected campus work, as well as key individuals who could extend the reach of action. Team membership should draw from various sectors, units, or divisions of the campus. In the past, teams have included faculty, provosts, deans, department chairs, student affairs educators, registrars, librarians, and students.
