Recipe: Takenoko no tosani (Tosa-style bamboo shoots)
Welcome spring with this healthy dish of bamboo shoots and kinome leaves.
Spring has finally arrived, and what better way to usher in the warmer weather than with a light, seasonal dish of bamboo shoots soaked in dashi and garnished with kinome leaves?
While the dish is relatively easy to prepare, it's worth noting that you'll need to get started the day before you plan to serve it to your guests – the bamboo shoots need to soak overnight.
If you are unable to source kinome leaves, there's no reason to panic. You can still enjoy the rich flavor of the soup combined with dried bonito flakes.
Ingredients (serves 2 – 3 people)
- 800 g bamboo shoots
- 400 ml – 500 ml dashi
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 3 tablespoons of sake
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon of mirin
- 5 g – 10 g dried bonito flakes
- Kinome (the young leaves of Japanese pepper) as garnish
Begin by washing the bamboo shoots and scraping off the tough base. Slice off the tips and make a shallow incision the length of the section covered by skin. Next, place the bamboo shoots in a pot of water together with 2 handfuls of rice bran and 2 red peppers. Bring to the boil, then cover with a drop-lid (the instructions for which can be found here). Keep the pot on a low heat until the hardest parts of the bamboo soften. Take the pot off the heat and allow it to cool. Now rinse the bamboo shoots in a bowl of cold water and soak overnight to remove any unwanted earthiness.
The next morning, peel the husks and cut the bamboo shoots into 3 sections:
1. The top third of the each shoot should be sliced vertically into 4 equal pieces.
2. Slice the middle section into 2 pieces resembling half moons, 1 cm thick.
3. Cut the bottom section into quarter rounds, 1 cm thick.
Place the bamboo shoots and dashi soup into a pot, cover with a drop-lid and boil over a high heat. When it comes to the boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the sugar, sake, soy sauce, mirin and increase the heat to medium. Continue to simmer for about 45 minutes. Once the liquid has reduced to a level roughly 1 cm from the bottom of the pan, turn off the heat and remove the drop-lid. Add the dried bonito flakes and mix well so that the flakes completely cover the bamboo shoots.
Now for the garnish of kinome leaves. Here there's a special technique: put each pinch of kinome on your palm and quickly clap your hands together before sprinkling the leaves over the bamboo shoots. This maximizes the kinome's fragrance.

This week in Paris, Archos unveiled a new line of ultra-thin Android tablets that looks to take on the ASUS Transformer Prime. The technical details are still scarce, but the new Archos G10 xs tablets will measure in at only 7.6 mm thin, which becomes an impressive 11 mm thin when paired with a matching keyboard dock.
Hubert Nguyen of UberGizmo reports that Archos will use "paper-thin" steel to ensure the rigidity of the frame.
Recent Archos tablets have favored Texas Instruments' OMAP processors, and I expect these latest devices to do the same. The G10 xs series could be some of the first tablets to go with the new 1.8 GHz OMAP4470 that is coming soon.
Archos said the tablets would be available later this year, but they didn't provide a specific launch window. They have traditionally displayed new products at IFA in Berlin, so we could get more details in early September. However, European pricing was announced so maybe we are closer to retail availability than we think.
Pricing for the new Archos G10 xs series includes:
- 7 inch for 129 Euros (~$168)
- 8 inch for 149 Euros (~$194)
- 10 inch for 199 Euros (~$259)
Amazon and other OEMs have proved that cheap Android tablets sell better than the high-end units, so it's nice to see Archos stick with the low price points. Archos released cheap Android tablets in years past, but they lacked Google's official Android apps and did not sell very well outside of Europe.
These new tablets are said to have access to all of Google's mobile services, including the Google Play Store, so we expect them to perform better than previous generations.
Check out the teaser video below and let us know what you think about the new Archos G10 xs design.

The Philippines encompasses more than 7,000 islands and multiple ethnic groups. The country's been colonized, occupied and camped upon by a slew of nations, including China, Spain, Japan and the U.S., and shaped by peoples that drifted to the islands from the South Pacific, Arabia and elsewhere in Asia. Combine these influences and give the cooks ingredients available in a tropical paradise, and the result is a cuisine as complex as the jungle, as colorful as a coral reef and full of surprises.
There are more than 3 million Filipinos in the U.S. So why we don't we see more of their food? Filipino Kitchen on Central east of Carlisle is Albuquerque's only outpost. Before my visit, I could remember having eaten two Filipino dishes. One was adobo, meat with marinade that's cooked down into a sauce. The second was balut, a fertilized chicken or duck egg that's been incubated for about 20 days (until just before the feathers appear) and then simmered. When the egg is opened, its half-developed contents taste like chicken soup.
They don't serve balut at Filipino Kitchen, but unless you're an insider, you're bound to encounter food you've never seen before, like the clear tamarind soup that usually accompanies the buffet. One afternoon, it contained a simple mix of vegetables. Another evening, extra-large cubes of soft pork belly floated in the tart broth.
If there's one thing that most Filipinos can agree on, it's the supremacy of pork. Many points between the noses and tails of swine are represented in the buffet. Some of the food looks like the Chinese or pan-Asian fare you see elsewhere, but there are some curveballs, such as crispy tilapia with scrambled eggs or pinakbet from the northern Philippines, a vegetable dish made of squash, okra, eggplant and thin slices of bitter melon. You might find Filipino menudo, which contains no tripe but pork and potatoes in a light tomato gravy. My personal favorite was dinuguan, a dark, ludicrously fatty pork dish, glistening with melted connective tissue. Many of these plates go nicely with the fried rice, which is subtle and simply fried in oil, salt and garlic with a few chopped scallions tossed in.
The buffet food is good quality, but the rate of replenishment can be slow depending on the time of day, and some of the dishes can look a bit past their prime. Another caution: Don't go to Filipino Kitchen for the salad bar, which has few veggies and less feeling. If you can hit the buffet in the morning or at lunch, it's worth it at $9.99. And if the buffet is looking tired, consider ordering off the small a la carte menu.
I fancy myself a connoisseur of oxtail, and so the kare-kare ($9.75) immediately caught my attention. Oxtails, the meaty skeletal tail stubs of cows, are stewed soft and come served with loads of bright green string beans and bok choy-like Chinese greens. It's all smothered in a brown peanut gravy that reminded me of Thanksgiving. The meat was pure succulent succulosity, falling from its bones with greasy surrender.
Somehow, we saved room in our pork-filled bellies for some Filipino flan. But not enough. One $5 slab could feed a family of four and still leave leftovers. More solid than we're used to and with less caramelized flavor, it reminded me of a creamy dulce de leche, and arrived dressed in a sauce of shredded young coconut. Another impressive dessert is the turon de Manila, a sweet, deep-fried egg roll stuffed with banana, jackfruit and purple yam. It's radiant with tropical sweetness and even a little fortifying.
Filipino Kitchen doesn't serve coffee or hot tea, which struck me as exotic. And speaking of beverages, the coconuts there are the most expensive I've seen in town ($4.50), as well as the most consistently awesome: Each specimen we tried was full of perfectly rich, sweet and buttery water.
There's one dish I have to wave you away from: It's called palabok. I could tell something was off as soon as the waitress set it on our table. I took a small nibble of noodle out of duty and cared to proceed no further. Round, thick noodles were undercooked yet soggy, coated with a weird yellow sauce and topped with sliced boiled egg. There was pork, of course, and shrimp mixed in.
Still, I'm glad that palabok is on the menu because I respect a place more if it pushes my boundaries. On that note, some day I might go in for a bowl of the pig blood soup. I'll definitely make it back there for another kare-kare.

Verizon has been dancing around this one for almost a month now with shipping dates varying from July 5th to July 12th, but the Galaxy S III was finally sick and tired of it and made them set a July 10th date to settle down and make this thing official.
Don't expect any surprises with the Verizon version of the Galaxy S III, as Dustin rightly pointed out, one of the amazing features of the Galaxy S III is it's consistency across the major US carriers.
It won't come as a huge shock that Verizon will be stowing a little bloat on board for you, but unless you bought the Verizon Galaxy Nexus it shouldn't be anything more than what you've grown accustomed to on previous devices. They call specific attention to the Color app which offers some video sharing features exclusively on Verizon and also the streaming video curator Viewdini that we covered not long ago.

- 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor

I know we have quite a few of the Verizon faithful around here. How many of you are biting on the Galaxy S III?

"I passed the VCLA with the help from the Longsdale course. I scored a 260 reading and 264 writing for a combined score of 524. A score of 470 is passing. The test was challenging for me but I felt prepared as a result of working through the Longsdale VCLA online course."
Tony S., Mount Jackson, VA
"This past weekend, I was able to attend a one-day VCLA training at Norfolk State University (NSU uses Longsdale's program). The program helped me tremendously with understanding the test and how to pass it. During the program, I learned to read the passages quickly and thoroughly as well as how to navigate through the answer choices to choose the best one. In addition, I learned basic ideas, such as the author's purpose and synonyms and antonyms, that I once could not remember. Knowing those basic ideas helped me to answer the multiple choice portion more effectively. I learned to write in a style that will score a 3 or 4. I learned the importance of answering the prompt effectively. Lastly, I am thankful to have an opportunity to take a similar test as if I was taking the actual VCLA. This allowed me to see the areas that I needed to improve in. The VCLA program at Norfolk State University gave me confidence that I have what it takes to pass the VCLA and become the best teacher possible."
Meagan W., Danville, VA
"I got a fantastic score, higher than I expected! What a relief it is to pass the VCLA. With the outstanding help from Longsdale Publishing and the VLCA prep course, I was able to successful navigate, understand, and pass the VCLA test. Thank you for creating and providing such a thorough and extremely helpful guide and test preparation. The explanation of the reading and written part, the exposure to the test structure and the real-life essay feedback was vital to my passing grade. I recommend this test prep service. Thank you."
Kiersten D., Lexington, VA
"This program was very helpful preparing for the VCLA. I feel more prepared now than I did before completing the practice tests. I would definitely recommend this to others!"
Mariah S., Virginia Beach, VA
"I passed both parts the first time around. The test prep was invaluable. I took all four writing practice exams. The raw scores I received were writing: 91%, reading: 80%."
"Thanks, Longsdale"
Cynthia R., Norfolk, VA
"I used Longsdale Publishing's program as a study guide in passing the Virginia Communication and Literacy Assessment (VCLA) test. I was a little skeptical at first, but I tried the program and I can say that it was a huge help. I was especially worried about the writing portion of the VCLA, but I worked on a sample write up, emailed it to the folks at Longsdale Publishing, and received feedback within 3 days, as promised. The best part is that there were no surprises on the test and I was well prepared, thanks to Longsdale Publishing. I passed the writing portion of the VCLA, and I am now working on studying for the reading portion using the same program. I would highly recommend this program."
"Thank You Longsdale Publishing!!!!!!!!"
Dee L., Clinton, MD
"I'm a Bachelors of Music Education major at George Mason University with a concentration in Instrumental Education with starting an Accelerated Masters in Special Education. As part of my program for both, I had to take the VCLA. I cannot emphasize how much I really valued your testing prep services to my success of the exam. I would get only 60% or so on your practice tests and would feel highly discouraged. When I got to the actual test, I felt like I was prepared, based on the fact how I prepared using your services. People said not to use a test prep service, especially that costs $40, but for me, as someone who has slight dyslexia that was not diagnosed till I was 16 and reading comprehension is not my forte, it was very beneficial and I credit in part your website for my 543/600 score."
"It is very useful and very recommended."
Julia-Anne S., Annandale, VA
"Thank you for your feedback. I took the writing part this afternoon and feel that I did well. I already took the first part (Reading-091) and scored a 391! The online class was a great help and I will definitely pass on the word to other teachers."
Joy C., Collinsville, VA
"If you have to take the VCLA, I highly reccomend Longsdale Publishing online prep course. I reviewed all the other test preparation materials and Longsdale was by far the most thorough and effective for preparing to take the exam. By taking the course I was able to consistently get passing grades on the practice tests. I am taking the actual exam on Friday and thanks to Longsdale I am feeling very confident!"
Colette L., Ashburn, VA
"The VCLA Online Course and Practice Tests are simple to navigate, extraordinary for test preparation and provide a solid emotional boost to any test anxiety brought about by the mere thought of taking a licensure test like the VCLA. Onward to a fruitful, prosperous career in teaching."
Bonn Garrett, 12 year magazine editor, Commonwealth of Virginia Career Switcher, Virginia Beach, VA
"I enrolled on website about 7 days before taking my VCLA for the first time. I passed!!!!! The first time. THANKS !!! It was worth the $40. Wish you had study programs online for the Reading for Virginia Educators (5306) also referred to as the Praxis II. I have the book offered by ets.org, but I think your course was in depth and gave me practice on the computer."
Celine B., Suffolk, VA
"I used your services and it was a life saver. Thank you so much. I felt prepared going into the test. I passed and did very well. I would use your services for any other test. You stayed very true to the actual format of the test. I loved the fact that I could use it right away once I paid for it."
Minouche P., Yorktown, VA
"As a non-native English speaker, I have always been concerned that I would not be able to pass the VCLA test in order to pursue my goal as a teacher in this country. I definitely found this program helped me improve my English grammar, comprehension, and writing skills. After I submitted my sample essay, I received a personal reply with detailed comments. I was surprised to see how your company was so seriously about helping me improve my writing skills. Using your constructive comments, I rewrote my essay using your suggestions. Your replies will benefit me in my writing for the rest of my life. I am sincerely grateful. I got a final score of 550 for both tests. Not to bad for a recent Chinese immigrant. I am now on my way to a teaching career. I think this program is so worthwhile. It gave me confidence and brought the best results."
"Thank you!"
Vivian S., Falls Church, VA

Not all strength training workouts are the same and that could be the reason why you're not getting stronger.
You'll do anything to run faster. You'll read the latest book on distance training or the newest article on your favorite blog on how to add variety to your tempo workouts, but you keep doing the same body weight exercises that you've been doing for years.
Your strength hasn't changed much and you constantly suffer from the usual aches and pains from pounding the pavement. It might be a new concept for some, but supplementing your running program with an effective and well laid out strength training program can be advantageous in making you a faster and more durable runner.
RELATED: Olympic Weightlifting For Faster Running
Unfortunately, with the vast amount of information available online, runners can get a little stir-crazy when choosing effective strength training methods. Improving strength, explosive power and core stability is a science and requires appropriate programming, just as it does when looking to improve VO2 max or lactate threshold.
Certain training methods have better transference to running and are therefore more effective at improving running performance and reducing injury risk. Here are five reasons why your strength and conditioning program is not making you stronger:

The Blaze –
The U.S. government is looking to recruit members for what some are calling a "Behavioral Insights Team," a panel of experts that will study human behavior so as to "design public policies that work better, cost less, and help people to achieve their goals," according to a documentdescribing the program.
"The federal government is currently creating a new team that will help build federal capacity to experiment with these approaches, and to scale behavioral interventions that have been rigorously evaluated, using, where possible, randomized controlled trials," the document reads.
"The team will be staffed by 4-5 experts in behavioral science and experimental design and evaluation," it adds.
FoxNews.com was the first to obtain and report on the White House's "Behavioral Insights Team" memo.
The document praises British Prime Minister David Cameron for implementing a similar "behavioral insights" team in the U.K., claiming the group has advanced the priorities of the British government while also saving it at least £1 billion within the next five years.
The document also shows the White House is already coordinating similar programs with federal agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture.
"We are already working with over a dozen federal departments and agencies on newly-designed behavioral insights projects," the document reads, "including the Department of Labor, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, Veterans Administration, Department of Treasury, Social Security Administration, Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the United States Department of Agriculture."
Maya Shankar, a White House senior adviser on social and behavioral sciences, emailed the document to a university professor requesting he distribute it to people interested in applying for the gig.

58% of California is in 'exceptional' drought. Here's what it looks like
You might think there's nothing more extreme than extreme drought.
You'd be wrong.
Those experts on parched earth that produce the weekly U.S. Drought Monitor have yet one worse classification for extended periods of low rainfall, dried-out soil, and low reservoir levels: exceptional drought.
And 58% of California falls into that category, the Drought Monitor said in its weekly update this week.
Super-dry conditions have been building since the winter, when sunny January days translated into record-low rainfall. They're behind recently implemented water restrictions, and the backdrop for wildfires that have started to flare in Yosemite National Park and the Sierra Nevada foothills.
It's bad, it'll probably get worse, and people are just tuning into how little in back-up supplies there are. If the statistics and brown hills don't drive the point home, this map does.
The maroon is exceptional drought, the red is extreme drought, which covers 82% of the state. The right side is from the Drought Monitor's July 29 report. The left is from July 1. A year ago, most of the map was yellow — that is, three levels better off.

In collaboration with Queens University of Charlotte, Dr. Eric Mullis will lead each class in this fascinating new three-part series discussing art, aesthetics and philosophy. Dr. Mullis is a popular speaker and serves as Assistant Professor in the Philosophy and Religion Department at Queens.
Class 1: Plato on Art, Truth and Censorship
A student of Socrates and teacher of Aristotle, Plato wrote on a wide range of topics including ethics, political philosophy, and art. In the Republic, Plato discusses the relationship between works of art and truth. He also spells out the role that art can play in education and how it can influence the public. Plato's ideas will be presented and a discussion will follow. Is Plato's thinking about art relevant today?
Class 2: John Dewey and R. G. Collingwood on Expression in Art
In the early 20th century, many artists, critics, and philosophers argued that artists express their ideas and emotions, and that the works of art that they produce capture them. Then, those who encounter those works of art can experience the original artistic expressions. We will examine the work of two philosophers who articulated similar theories of artistic expression, and will then consider strengths and weaknesses of those views.
Class 3: Arthur Danto and the Post-Modern
In the 1970s Arthur Danto began thinking about marcel Duchamp's ready-mades and Andy Warhol's Brillo boxes. In The Transfiguration of the Commonplace, Danto considers the development of post-modern art and comes to some intriguing conclusions. We will discuss Danto's approach, and will consider the viability of post-modern art in the present.

Album - Photo gallery generator which has theme support
What is it?
Album - [1] An HTML photo album generator that supports themes. It takes directories of images and creates all the thumbnails and HTML that you need.
Album is a perl script, which means you need to be comfortable with or prepared to use the command-line. If you just want a point-and-click, you may wish to look elsewhere. Features:
- You can use themes to choose or redesign the album "look and feel."
- Recursively descends directories to make a hierarchy of photo albums
- EXIF support, Video thumbnails...
- Has a plugin system that allows you to write perl code to alter the behavior of album.
- Slideshows, transparent overlays, credit tags, easy captions, and endless features!
Look here for documentation: http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/Docs/ [2]
Minimum Requirements
- Apache or LightHTTPD or Thttpd
- The album perl script[3]
- Imagemagick tools (specifically 'convert')
Optional Installation
Install Imagemagik
Skip ahead to #Install Album, apt-get will resolve all dependancies for you
- Install Ipkg on the Linkstation (for end-users) and enable the NSLU2 Feed: Ipkg Package List: PowerPC
- Install imagemagick
ipkg install imagemagick
OpenLink (MIPSel)
- Install the Precompiled C development environment, running on the LS (to get Perl)
- Install imagemagik from source.[5]
Download ImageMagick.tar.gz from ftp.imagemagick.org or its mirrors and unpack it with this command:
wget ftp://ftp.imagemagick.org/pub/ImageMagick/ImageMagick.tar.gz tar -xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz
Next configure and compile ImageMagick:
cd ImageMagick-6.?.? ./configure make
If ImageMagick configured and compiled without complaint, you are ready to install it on your system. You need to be root to install. To install, type:
make install
Install Album
apt-get install album
Download and run Album
wget http://marginalhacks.com/bin/album.tar.gz tar -xvzf album.tar.gz cd album-3.12 mkdir -p /usr/local/bin cp album /usr/local/bin/ chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/album
Running Album
- You need a web directory to put themes and your photo album.[6] eg: /home/httpd/test the URL will be: http://myserver/test/
- First create a directory and put some images in it. We'll call this: /home/httpd/test/Photos
Using A Theme
I use this theme:
Use wget to get and install this theme
mkdir /home/httpd/Themes/ cd /home/httpd/Themes/ wget http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/Themes/Dominatrix6.tar.gz tar -xvzf Dominatrix6.tar.gz rm Dominatrix6.tar.gz
To use a theme, download the theme .tar or .zip and unpack it.
Themes are found according to the -theme_path setting, which is a list of places to look for themes. Those paths need to be somewhere under the top of your web directory, but not inside a photo album directory. It needs to be accessible from a web browser.
You can either move the theme into one of the theme_path-s that album is already using, or make a new one and specify it with the -theme_path option.
Then call album with the -theme option, with or without -theme_path:
album -theme Dominatrix6 /home/httpd/test/Photos album -theme Dominatrix6 -theme_path /home/httpd/Themes/ /home/httpd/test/Photos
Medium images
Full resolution images are usually too big for a web album, so we'll use medium images on the image pages:
album -medium 33% /home/httpd/test/Photos

Foodbuzz Blogger Festival in San Francisco. He uses local and fresh ingredients from our Salinas Valley and the Monterey area. Here, he is giving a generous serving of an Herb Salad with Toasted Quinoa and Smoked Pecans in a Cranberry Vinaigrette. I'm a fan of Todd's culinary creations, because he really thinks outside the box. What really stands out about Todd is that he has both passion and a talent for cooking--which is why he is quickly gaining celebrity status in the culinary world. After a long and successful run as a partner in a local restaurant, Chef Todd has moved into a new direction-- while keeping busy with food events all over the country, and balancing time with his wife and children. In a quiet little Monterey Peninsula seaside community called 'Sand City', Todd has opened his newest venture called "The Kitchen".
cooking classes to aspiring home chefs (like me). When Todd announced that he would be teaching a 'Valentine's Tribute, Sensual Dinner Three-Hour Cooking Class'-- and I saw Lobster Bisque and Succulent Scallops on the menu-- I quickly paid my $75.00 and I charged my camera battery.
There were twelve students, and I came with my own knife and a very hungry appetite. Today, I'm going to share with you Todd's recipe for Succulent Scallops and a shaved asparagus salad. Todd printed this recipe in our local newspaper, so I figured he wouldn't mind if I share this with my blog readers.

Using Sequences and Series to Make Connections
Lesson 11 of 15
Objective: Students will be able to be involved in a wide variety of challenges in this lesson! From an interesting "act it out" warm up problem – to a hint of Pascal's Triangle; each activity will challenge the students in the practice standards and extend the content previously learned.
Warm Up
As the students enter the classroom, be sure to have the PowerPoint displayed with the opening problem slide active. I also provide a half sheet of paper with the problem written on it so that the students don't have any excuse to get started!
Randy's house is one mile from the school. He starts walking to school one day, goes half the distance from home to school and stops. He turns around, heads home, goes half the distance from the point where he turned around and his home, and stops. He turns around, heads toward school, goes half the distance from where he turned around and school, and stops. He turns around, heads towards home, goes half the distance from where he turned around and his home, and stops… this continues for a LONG time!
1) Stand up and act out the scenario in our classroom. Perform at least 5 turns.
2) Draw on your half sheet of paper the scenario that you just acted out.
3) Compare scenario drawings with 2 people around you.
4) Calculate Randy's limiting position(s)
A few notes:
- This activity connects nicely to the previous lesson.
- Kinesthetic learners will enjoy acting out the scenario, but all learners can benefit from getting out of their seats and being able to act out the situation.
- It's mathematical modeling… with people!
- The activity is structured such that the students MUST understand the problem prior to ever being able to attempt an answer – this is so important in mathematics!
- A discussion of possible methods of solution can begin 7-8 minutes after problem roll out. Although not all students will be completely finished with the problem, ALL students at least understand it and are ready talk about the process that they were involved in using.
- Many students will share out how they treated one directional move as positive, and one as negative - - other students may elect to share a different approach. These are GREAT to talk about!
Teacher Behavior:
As the students are working on the Opening Activity, rotate the classroom to check and see how last night's homework assignment went. (As it states on the PowerPoint Slide, the students should have this out and ready for you to take a look at.) This will give you a picture as to how the second phase of the lesson will go, and what types of questions you can anticipate from the students.

Vertebroplasty is very similar to kyphoplasty, but does not involve a balloon.
This promising procedure is primarily used to decrease pain and strengthen bones associated with vertebral compression fractures and abnormal vertebrae configurations caused by osteoporosis and metastatic bone lesions.
This minimally invasive technique has high success rates.
The procedure involves making a small incision and inserting a hollow needle into the fractured area of the spine. Acrylic cement is mixed into a toothpaste-like consistency and combined with a substance called barium, which improves the viewing of the procedure.
When the needle position is perfect, the cement is injected into the fractured vertebra. The doctor watches the cement as it enters the spinal column to make sure that it does not leak out of the vertebra in a way that could be harmful.
Recovery time after vertebroplasty surgery is typically minimal, but will depend on the patient's health and severity of the condition.
Patients can often go home the same day, returning to normal activity levels soon after the vertebroplasty procedure.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Authorities say an Alabama teenager is charged in the alleged abduction of a 10-month-old boy who was found in Texas.
Police say 19-year-old Breanna Nicole Walker of Birmingham is charged with kidnapping.
She was in federal custody today in Texas, where 10-month-old De'Anthony Dejuan Kelly was found safe late Tuesday in Dallas.
Birmingham police Sgt. Johnny Williams says no charges have been filed against the 14-year-old girl who allegedly took the child from a home in Birmingham. But Walker is believed to have been in a car that left Alabama with the child and the 14-year-old.
Williams says police are still investigating a man who was allegedly driving the car.
Authorities say the little boy's godmother was taking care of him at the time of his disappearance.

Superstar Barbra Streisand is coming home to Brooklyn.
The Oscar- and Grammy-winning diva was born and raised in Brooklyn but has never performed publicly there _ until now.
Brooklyn's new Barclays Center arena announced Wednesday that Streisand will give a concert there on Oct. 11.
Barclays Center is still under construction and will be home to the NBA's Nets. CEO Brett Yormark says Streisand's concert will be a defining moment for the arena.
Streisand spokesman Ken Sunshine said that performing near her old neighborhood will be very emotional and poignant for Streisand.
Streisand is one of the world's best-selling recording artists and is one of the few entertainers who have won an Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, and Tony Award. She rarely performs in public.

W-G notches 1st ever girls golf win
From staff reports
The Waynesfield-Goshen Tigers varsity girls golf team notched its first win in school history Friday, tallying a 265-270 victory over the Fort Recovery Indians in a dual match played at the Mercer County Elks Country Club in Celina.
W-G started its first full girls golf season in school history this school year beginning Friday.

"We did well," W-G varsity coach Gary Spencer said Friday. "They were nervous to start. It took us to hole No. 2 before we started to refocus.
"We got excited when it got close at the end. I'm very proud of them."
The win gave the Tigers a 1-0 record to start the 2013 season.
Tori Vaughn was the low scorer for Fort Recovery with a 62.

The Romans developed the alphabet we still use today. In this lesson we will introduce the Romans and ask how their alphabet got to us.
Through their interpretation of primary documents that reflect Victorian ideals, students can learn the cultural expectations for and limitations placed on Victorian women and then contemplate the writer Charlotte Brontë's position in that context. Then, through an examination of the opening chapters of Jane Eyre, students will evaluate Jane's status as an unconventional Victorian heroine.
This lesson highlights the changing relationship between the city center and the suburb in the postwar decades, especially in the 1950s. Students will look at the legislation leading up to and including the Federal Highway Act of 1956. They will also examine documents about the history of Levittown, the most famous and most important of the postwar suburban planned developments.

New Zealand sails solo as regatta opens
The sailing has begun in the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger series. The actual racing, though, is still at least several days away.
Because Luna Rossa Challenge sat out Sunday's scheduled opener, Emirates Team New Zealand sailed alone and picked up the first point of the regatta. It was a hollow victory for the Kiwis and a huge embarrassment for America's Cup officials.
Asked if it felt like a victory, New Zealand skipper Dean Barker said, "No. For us, it's just another day of practice in terms of getting better for the knockout stages in August."
The Kiwis will pick up another free point with a solo sail Tuesday. That's because the scheduled opponent, Sweden's Artemis Racing, is still completing its new boat. In fact, most of the "racing" in the round robin is likely to be a solo affair.
A five-member jury from the International Sailing Federation is scheduled to convene Monday to hear arguments from Luna Rossa and Team New Zealand in their protest over a switch to heavier rudder winglets as part of regatta director Iain Murray's safety recommendations.
An America's Cup spokesman said jury chairman David Tillett told him a decision would be announced probably Tuesday or Wednesday.
According to Cup CEO Stephen Barclay, the Italians withdrew their request to have the jury convene Saturday. Luna Rossa skipper Max Sirena denied that claim, saying his side wanted the issue to be resolved as soon as possible.
Luna Rossa is due to race against Artemis on Thursday. Assuming the verdict is delivered by then, the Italians will be the ones sailing alone that day. The Swedish team might not be ready to race until the semifinals.
Sirena said that had Luna Rossa raced Sunday, it would have given tacit approval to Murray's new rules, including the new rudder wings. He contends his boat was designed for smaller rudder wings and that larger, heavier wings would put his team at a disadvantage against defender Oracle Team USA. The Oracle boat has a different design.
According to Sirena, his team had no choice but to sit out until the jury rules. "We have been forced into this position," Sirena said. "We did not come to San Francisco to watch races but to race."
In the meantime, Team New Zealand was quite happy to sail. It had the option of sailing a shorter course but chose the longer 18.4-mile course, mainly to see where the boundaries were set, Barker said.
It completed the run in 46 minutes, 27 seconds, in winds of about 15 knots. The boat hit a top speed of a blistering 42.8 knots, or a little more than 49 mph.
"I feel sorry for the people that are coming down to watch, to see (only) one boat sailing," Barker said. "We respect Luna Rossa's decision not to sail, but there were a lot of people on the shoreline. We need to make sure we give them something to watch."
New Zealand tactician Ray Davies said the team could have used "good close racing" to work on its communications, although he was enthusiastic about the sail itself.
"San Francisco Bay delivered," he said. "It was great conditions: flood tides, pretty flat water. It was pretty ideal for these boats."
Murray was saddened by the Luna Rossa no-show. "We've built to this day for a long period of time," he said. Starting with what amounted to a one-boat exhibition was "extremely disappointing."
He repeatedly has said all the teams had agreed to his 37 safety recommendations May 22. Sirena said Sunday any changes to the class rules required signed documents, and he hadn't signed anything.
There was no need for tickets to be refunded as a result of Sunday's aborted opener. Officials had refunded all tickets sold for the Louis Vuitton round-robin after the Artemis crash May 9 that cost the life of British sailor Andrew Simpson.
Tickets for the challenger series have been sold only for the semifinals, Aug. 6-15, and finals, Aug. 17-30. The winner takes on Oracle Team USA in the America's Cup finals, Sept. 7-21.

Dilation and Similarity Unit Test
Lesson 6 of 6
Objective: Students will complete the formative assessment for the unit.
Present the warm-up problem (5 minutes). The warm-up problem for this lesson (found in the slide show) asks students to find the equation for two variables from an x-y table. The relationship is direct variation. This activity follows the Team Warm-up routine, which is desribed in my Strategy Folder.
While students complete the warm-up problem, I take attendance and circulate around the classroom noting who does not have their homework or their materials.
Review the agenda for the lesson. Display the agenda and learning goals for the lesson. Ask students to read them over and invite questions.

HTC has released a new official statement regarding the global availability of the HTC One. When the device was first unveiled in the middle of February, HTC stated that the HTC One would be broadly available in North America and across the globe by the end of March. Due to component shortage issues, HTC has had to adjust the retail launch date of the phone.
While Germany, Taiwan and the UK are slated to receive their first shipments of the HTC One next week, the rest of Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific will have to wait until April before the HTC One is made available to them.
HTC has seen unprecedented demand for and interest in the new HTC One, and the care taken to design and build it is evidenced in early reviews. The new HTC One will roll out in the UK, Germany and Taiwan next week and across Europe, North America and most of Asia-Pacific before the end of April. We appreciate our customers' patience, and believe that once they have the phone in their hands they will agree that it has been worth the wait.HTC
A 3-4 week delay is typically not a huge deal, but it definitely will not help the HTC One gain market share since the company was hoping to have the phone on the market at least a full month before having to directly compete with the Samsung Galaxy S 4.
Do you think most consumers will agree with HTC that the HTC One is "worth the wait?"

Towards Long-term Monitoring of the CO2 System in Arctic Rivers
Arctic Research Initiative
2009 Funded Project
The CO2 system (pH, pCO2, DIC, and TAlk) in rivers and their estuaries plays a critical role in regulating fluxes of inorganic carbon, including CO2, into and out of these aqueous ecosystems, and yet these systems remain heavily understudied, particularly for high latitude drainage basins. Currently, we do not have a clear understanding of how much riverine and estuarine systems contribute to the global CO2 budget, and therefore are unable to make reasonable projections on how these systems will respond, or contribute to, rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations that serves as a primary driver of global climate change. Previous measurements of the CO2 system in Arctic rivers and their estuaries are grossly inadequate relative to those for the open ocean. In particular, we lack information on long-term trends and short-term variations in fluvial CO2 system dynamics, which are essential to predict how these systems, as well as their estuaries and adjacent coastal waters, respond to accelerated climate change in Arctic region.
The Arctic Ocean receives large riverine fluxes of organic matter, suspended material, and nutrients from surrounding rivers, with this riverine influence being the most substantial among all major ocean basins. The Arctic is also considered particularly sensitive to global climate change. The CO2 system in Arctic rivers will likely undergo a significant and observable change within a relatively short time period (decades). As temperature- and hydrologicallydriven weathering processes increase and permafrost destabilizes in the Arctic, fluvial inorganic carbon fluxes is also likely to increase. This may have significant impacts on riverine and coastal carbon cycles, and related ecosystem functioning. The expected increase in riverine organic carbon flux from Arctic drainage basins may enhance organic carbon degradation and microbial respiration, both of which may drive aqueous CO2 level towards over-saturation, and thus release more CO2 to the atmosphere. To study these potential changes in Arctic rivers, both long-term and short-term measurements are required.
I propose to initiate time-series measurements of the CO2 system in the Mackenzie River, the major Arctic river in North America. The field campaigns will include both diurnal and monthly sampling of all primary CO2 system parameters in river water. All measurements will be performed at high precision and accuracy using state-of-art instrumentation and analytical techniques that the PI is both familiar with and has helped to develop. This work will serve as the initial step towards long-term measurements and studies of the impacts of global warming on the CO2 systems in Arctic rivers, their estuaries, and adjacent coastal waters. In order to enhance information content, the PI will coordinate his sampling campaigns with ongoing research programs in the Mackenzie River basin, and will also help existing activities by undertaking samples for other WHOI researchers. This cost-efficient approach will both maximize the scientific output from this project and lay the foundation for more in-depth studies. In particular, the award will give the PI (a new Assistant Scientist in MC&G) valuable leverage and preliminary data to justify funding for long-term observations of biogeochemical changes in the Arctic. This study will also complement existing WHOI ARI research programs, as well as the on-going Arctic-GRO program of the Woods Hole Research Center, and will provide a unique opportunity for the PI to establish long-term collaborations with WHOI and non-WHOI scientists interested in the Arctic research.

Webgame Wednesday: Pants or No Pants?
I love Scotch. Also Will Ferrell's Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Who doesn't? It's terribly exciting news that a sequel, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, hits theaters on Dec. 20. Producers are pumping up expectations with a series of nutty Dodge commercials and an online game or two. Check out Pants or No Pants, where you'll be quizzed as to whether your favorite anchorman Ron Burgundy is wearing pants or not underneath his news desk. That's pretty much it: Pants or no pants. But it's good for a giggle or two on a mirthless afternoon at the office.

We're rolling out a feature to give people more information about the publishers and articles they see in News…
March 29, 2018
We want to provide regular updates on what we're doing and the progress we're making.
April 9, 2018
By Elliot Schrage , Vice President of Communications and Public Policy, and David Ginsberg , Director of Research
Today, Facebook is announcing a new initiative to help provide independent, credible research about the role of social media in elections, as well as democracy more generally. It will be funded by the Laura and John Arnold Foundation, Democracy Fund, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Charles Koch Foundation, the Omidyar Network, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
At the heart of this initiative will be a group of scholars who will:
Facebook will not have any right to review or approve their research findings prior to publication.
We're excited about this initiative for two important reasons.
First, we think it's an important new model for partnerships between industry and academia. Second, the last two years have taught us that the same Facebook tools that help politicians connect with their constituents — and different communities debate the issues they care about — can also be misused to manipulate and deceive.
We have made real progress since Brexit and the 2016 US presidential election in fighting fake news, as well as combating foreign interference, in elections in France, Germany, Alabama and Italy. But there is much more to do — and we don't have all the answers. This initiative will enable Facebook to learn from the advice and analysis of outside experts so we can make better decisions — and faster progress.
In consultation with the foundations funding the initiative, Facebook will invite respected academic experts to form a commission which will then develop a research agenda about the impact of social media on society — starting with elections. The focus will be entirely forward looking. And our goals are to understand Facebook's impact on upcoming elections — like Brazil, India, Mexico and the US midterms — and to inform our future product and policy decisions. The initial term of the commission will be one year and membership will be determined in the coming weeks. We are keen to have a broad range of experts — with different political outlooks, expertise and life experiences, gender, ethnicity and from a broad range of countries.Share
In many ways, 2017 was an epic year for Houston's restaurant scene. Ahead of hosting the Super Bowl (and after), the city became home to dozens of exciting new eateries across a variety of cuisines, price points, and vibes.
But of course, with this growth comes change, and that means that some spots were forced to close their doors this year. In 2017, restaurateurs had more to contend with than the usual uncertainty of the restaurant business thanks to Hurricane Harvey, which has been blamed for more than one shutter. As 2018 bears down, pour one out for these 5 now-shuttered eateries.
In March, Houston said goodbye to Oxheart , Chef Justin Yu's award-winning (and much-beloved eatery). The restaurant had racked up pretty much every accolade possible, including a spot in Eater critic Bill Addison's heart. Fortunately, Yu has already returned with his creative new restaurant Theodore Rex, and is serving up some of the city's best bar fare at his Heights watering hole Better Luck Tomorrow. Still, there's a little bit of lingering sadness over the loss of a place that was as special as Oxheart.
"Sugar Hooker" Rebecca Masson's bakery survived Hurricane Harvey, only to

. Masson is already hard at work getting her bakery back online, and she's been popping up for her Saturday Morning Bake Sales at restaurants across the city.

Place an online order for takeaway via Fluff's air jordan 1 retro low og varsity red/white/black ps4
Chef Mark Holley's home for Gulf fare took significant damage in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey , which forced the restaurant to close its doors as Holley dealt with "residual damage" from the storm. Considering Holley's inventive hand with seafood, here's hoping that 2018 brings an exciting new home for the chef.

It racked up plenty of accolades for its chic design and Gulf Coast-inspired cuisine, and even scored a coveted visit from First Lady Michelle Obama while it was opened. Fortunately, the spot has since been turned into swanky steakhouse Doris Metropolitan, and Hildebrand has found a new home at his fun new restaurant FM Kitchen Bar.

LOWELL -- To capitalize on a new, state-funded $80 million nanotechnology manufacturing research center, city business and political leaders must get the word out about opportunities available here.
That was the message given yesterday during a special breakfast presentation at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium, sponsored by the Lowell Plan, a local economic development think tank.
U.S. Rep. Marty Meehan and state Sen. Steven Panagiotakos joined David MacKenzie, the University of Massachusetts Lowell's interim chancellor, in telling almost 100 business and political leaders about the potential benefits of the new research center, which is being funded by $70 million in state and university funds and $10 million in private donations.
Rather than focus on the pure science of nanotechnology -- which involves the use of infinitesimal components and devices -- UMass Lowell's center will research how to mass produce nano-engineered products.
Advocates argue that only three other states are funding similar nano-manufacturing research, and doing so will make Greater Lowell an ideal location for companies that need to bring their nano- and bio-engineered projects to market.
"Without the high-speed, high-volume manufacturing, there really is no economic benefit" to companies' research, Panagiotakos said, adding that the industry is "on the cusp of an explosion in products.
Yesterday's key message was that the National Science Foundation estimates that nano-engineered items and products will account for $1 trillion in sales and around two million jobs by 2015.
State officials estimate that the new center will allow Massachusetts to attract up to 10 new manufacturing plants and 8,000 jobs in the biotech industry alone.
"We need to all work together to plan how the university and the city can take advantage of this new opportunity to become a 21st century city," Panagiotakos said.
Meehan noted that many companies are unaware of the nano-manufacturing research that is under way even now at UMass Lowell.
During a question-and-answer session, Robert L. Culver, president and CEO of MassDevelopment -- a quasi-public state agency that is charged with overseeing large development projects, including redevelopment of the former Fort Devens Army base -- agreed with that assessment.
"It's companies like Cabot and others in the region that deal with fine particle products who may move to nano-based products that may tremendously benefit from the University of Massachusetts Lowell center," said Culver, a former chief financial officer of Cabot Corp., a Boston-based provider of carbon paper products that has a research and development facility in Billerica.
He added that startups will be helped as well.
An exact location for the center has yet to be chosen. A report on a recommended site is expected sometime in March.

In California, a stupid broad who wears giant stunna shades, won't shut up about drinking, wears gaucho pants, bleaches and feathers her hair, and generally tries to say something stupid every goddamned minute of the day. Bonus points for implants.
SoCal girls are so gross, I wouldn't touch them with John Holmes's dick.
