McIlroy stars in the sun
Rory McIlroy overcame what he thinks was a touch of sunstroke to move into a share of the halfway lead at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai.
The world number one shot a second round 67 and goes into the weekend 11 under par alongside world number two Luke Donald and Scot Marc Warren. South Africans Louis Oosthuizen and Branden Grace are only a stroke behind.
"I got off the course yesterday (Thursday) and had a really sore head and a fever," said McIlroy. "I think it was a bit of sunstroke. I took a few things and felt better, but I'm not feeling great again. The sun's taking it out of me a bit."
He birdied two of the first three, but came up short of the green at the 245-yard fourth and bogeyed.
It was his only dropped stroke, however, and further birdies came at the seventh, 10th, 14th - he lipped out for eagle there - and 15th.
Overnight leader Donald had a 68, while playing partner Warren - 189th in the world - matched McIlroy's round.
Earlier Sergio Garcia shot one of golf's most remarkable course records - two eagles, nine birdies, two bogeys and a triple bogey seven. It all added up to a second round 64, eight under par, and from 49th place after his initial 73 he was back in contention at seven under.
The score was all the more amazing with this being the 32-year-old Spaniard's first event since the Ryder Cup in September. He underwent laser surgery afterwards to correct his astigmatism. "It was unbelievable, wasn't it?" he said after moving from one over par to seven under.
An 18-foot eagle putt from just off the back of the final green made Garcia the sixth player to hand in a 64 on the Greg Norman-designed Earth course, venue for the European Tour's season-ending showpiece for the past four years.
Garcia went for the surgery because he was finding contact lenses uncomfortable and said of his improved eyesight: "I'm still kind of getting used to it."

It appears that the digital divide disappears when it comes to mobile shopping according to recent studies. In fact, research shows that African Americans aged 18 and older are more likely than the general market to reach for their smart phones or tablets to shop and look at online content.
According to Prosper Insights & Analytics, Black consumers have a mobile aptitude score of 127.3, indicating that they have a higher mobile capacity (+27 percent) than all adults 18 or older. In addition to mobile ownership, usage, influence to purchase, and frequency of mobile Internet access, this newly updated study includes various mobile shopping behaviors to provide marketers with a better understanding of shoppers and their propensity towards mobile media.
Blacks are more likely to use the "mobile mall" at their fingertips to get a discount, request a price match, comparative shop and get more information on a product. Additionally, they are more likely to treat a brick-and-mortar store as a "showroom" to evaluate products and then go buy online.
The study also noted that Blacks are more likely than the general population to view TV, sports and news on their mobile

The symptoms of celiac disease can involve multiple organs and range widely in both severity and type. Besides the usual symptomatic suspects – digestive problems such as bloating, diarrhea or constipation – they can include hair loss, mouth sores and itchy, even painful skin rashes, usually around the joints.
An individual with celiac may have anemia, be preternaturally short or experience infertility. You may develop associated health conditions such as osteoporosis or peripheral neuropathy – nerve damage that is usually associated with type 1 diabetes. This can cause twitching, muscle loss and numbness, especially in extremities such as soles of your feet.
In fact, if you have type 1 diabetes or thyroid problems, you may also have celiac disease because research has shown there are links between them. With thanks to Shelley Case, registered dietitian and Allergic Living magazine columnist, here is a list of known symptoms:
- abdominal pain, bloating and gas
- indigestion/reflux (heartburn)
- nausea and vomiting
- diarrhea, constipation or both
- lactose intolerance
- weight loss (CD can occur in obese individuals)
- chronic fatigue and weakness
- iron, folate and/or vitamin B12 deficiency
- other vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- bone and/or joint pain
- osteoporosis
- easy bruising of the skin
- itchy, burning skin rashes
- swelling of hands and feet
- migraine headaches
- canker sores
- menstrual irregularities
- infertility (in both women and men)
- recurrent miscarriages
- elevated liver enzymes
Additional Symptoms in Children
- irritability and behavioural changes
- concentration and learning difficulties
- failure to thrive (delayed growth and short stature)
- delayed puberty
- dental enamel abnormalities

After tonight's game and the announcement of KG possibly be dealt to the Clippers. If I'm Bryan and perhaps it's my last season here with the Raps. I would continue with a major revamp for this team.
1) Toronto with GSW
Toronto out: Bargs, Fields, Kleiza
Toronto in: D.Lee, R.Jefferson
2) Toronto with Milwaukee
Toronto out: Lowry, Amir, 2nd round pick
Toronto in: Jennings, Dalembart, Henson, 1st round pick
3) Toronto with Utah
Toronto out: Alan Anderson
Toronto in: Jamal Tinsley
Why Toronto: We get two more jawbreaking players in Jennings and Lee. Jennings will fit well with the new uptempo run and gun team beside he's best friend of DeMar. David Lee, a fan favorite, could provide us with rebound, well neither are good at defense; Lee is still a huge upgrade at the PF than Amir and Bargs. The question is, his new contract. Along with DeMar and Gay, we are locked at these players for the next 2-3 years. But nonetheless, both players can contribute at maximum intensity. R.Jefferson is a decent backup, perhaps the Raps can rejuvenate his career once again as our primary backup for Gay.
Why Golden State: They acquire Bargs who could start at PF for the young Warriors moving ahead, they need a young PF to make the team even better in the West, with Bogut and Ezeli manhandle the 5, Bargs don't need to rebound or play defense but shoot the ball. The Warriors have a young backcourt of Curry and K.Thompsons and the emerging play of H.Barnes could make this team a contending team in the Western Conference. Fields and Kleiza are decent backup, at least Fields at this age, contribute more than the aging R.Jefferson.
Why Milwaukee: They acquire a PG who might gel with M.Ellis, both Lowry and Ellis are attack the basket type of player although the Bucks' system is a bit slower than the Raps new Run and Gun offense. Lowry will find his groove for the new team whereas Amir can replace either Ilyasova or Gooden at the starting PF position. It's sad to see Amir go but if the Raps pull this trade, I would be darned.
Why Utah: Salary dump, both players suck well Tinsely is a good backup PG, 3rd stringer PG on a playoff contending team. Alan Anderson can provide the Jazz with some outside threat since both Bell and Burks suck.
By the Deadline, Raps GM Bryan Colangelo fires Dwayne Casey and replace him with Avery Johnson.
Toronto New Lineups
Call it a midway season 2012-2013. We make to the playoff, possibly 8th seed and claim back our pick from Thunder. Our pick 20 range. In the offseason, we acquire Bucks' 1st round pick (20 range). We draft Kabongo (our pick) and Dario Saric (if he falls for us).
Next Season
Jennings/Kabongo/PG (veteran PG)
All Star DeRozan/2nd year Ross/SG (veteran SG)
All Star Gay/D.Saric/R.Jefferson
All Star Lee/2nd year Henson/2nd year Acy
Starting C/2nd year Val/Dalembart (resigns)
Veteran PG - DJ Augustin, Devin Harris, Will Bynum for the vet minimum.
Personal Favorite Goes to Will Bynum, a good player but with the Pistons with their possible resigning of Calderon, Bynum is expendable.
Veteran SG - Randy Foye, Tony Allen, Marco Belinelli, Mike Dunleavy, Leandro Barbosa for the vet minimum.
Personal Favorite Goes to Tony Allen, Gay's old Grizzlies buddy, a great defender who can play the 2 and 3 spot.
Starting C - Chris Kaman, DeJuan Blair, Jermaine O'Neal
Personal Favorite Goes to Jermaine O'Neal, an ex raptor who might teach Val a thing or two so Val can develop into a decent center in this league. I would love to see Al Jeff in Raps Uniform but most likely he will want to sign or trade to a championship contending team.
Give 2-3 years for Ross and Val to develop, they could form something special, by the time Ross becomes a legit starter in this league, we can trade DeRozan but for now, Ross at the best is an athletic Kerry Kittles. Val on the other hand, if he can post an Anderson Varejao's career, I would be satisfied.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Even a week after torrents of rain flooded East County neighborhoods, Greenbrook Adventure Park was still a sight to behold.
Speckled foam pieces emerged like crags from beneath the playground's turf area. Much of the rubber surface of the basketball court was either pushed out of place or missing altogether.
But repairs to the facility are on the way.
On Sept. 17, CDD 4 supervisors authorized Lakewood Ranch Town Hall to spend up to $15,000 on repairs on the park, which is still open for residents' use.
"It's going to be done (quickly)," CDD 4 Supervisor Mike Spring said. "It's putting things back in place, not building things again."
The playground equipment itself, officials said, is structurally safe, and all safety concerns have been addressed. Several places along trails surrounding the park were washed out by the flooding and have been closed off.
Last week, Town Hall officials were checking with contractors about potential repairs and determining whether the CDD's insurance policy for the park would cover repairs to any of the playground equipment, including to the new basketball court that was installed just a few months ago.
Ryan Heise, director of operations for Lakewood Ranch Town Hall, said Town Hall would consider all its options for improving the facilities. While repairs will be made, some changes to equipment, such as the flooring of the basketball court, may be changed to better accommodate future flood scenarios.
"Sustainability is the word of the day," Heise said.
Data collected from the flood shows that water levels reached a near 100-year floodplain level at the location, said Mike Kennedy, an engineer with WilsonMiller.
"We had heard reports of anywhere from six to nine inches across the Ranch," Kennedy said. "It's not just what falls in this area. With the Braden River coming through Lakewood Ranch, that water is coming from the east also. When (rainfall) gets to those levels, the park is intended to flood. The timing was bad (with the recent installation of the basketball court)."
Whether flood insurance will cover repairs or not, CDD 4 supervisors said storms over the Sept. 12-13 weekend could not have been anticipated.
"You can build for a once-in-a-year event, but the cost for doing so is usually much greater than the cost of repairing it," Spring said.

Dear Troy,
You captured a nation. You captured social media. You captured my eyes, mind and heart. Your story wasn't anything new but in this new age, it was a new view. So many people have voices now through blogs, Twitter and Facebook. People are used to making an impact. Hell, they got a Black President elected. But none of the chatter could change this prewritten history. It couldn't even excite that very same President I mentioned. This history has been written, been lived and been dead. We'll continue this beautiful struggle gaining more ammo and momentum to change the world. Until then …
I Reminisce … I Reminisce.
Rest easy, Troy. Your struggle has ended. The world's continues. MY GOD.

After these Olympics and Worlds, are there any planned changes to CoP in any discipline that will be noticeable to average fan? I wonder what might happen if there is a controversial win by Patch at the Olys?
If people are thoroughly confused, will we see some simplification in judging esp. of jumps? I wish to see scoring changes that make more sense to people who might become fans. I am afraid Chanflation (tho I love his basic skating and it's awesome those rare times he skates fairly clean) might really confuse the public.
What can IOC do at this Olympics to bring sponsors bck to skating?
Sochi is a huge oppty. to reclaim people. I want to see Stars on Ice back in business. I wish I knew what would push networks or ESPN to cover more. Is skating truly dead in USA? For good?
I want a tour of champions!!!!!

Facing an empty fridge upon our return home from vacation, I was in need of groceries and inspiration this past weekend. I happened to catch a mention on Twitter of food52's risotto party and was inspired to make a spring risotto. I knew I wanted to include lemon and mint, and had been intrigued by a raw artichoke and parmesan salad I'd read about in the April issue of Body + Soul. And I decided to add citrusy broiled shrimp, as in the food52 finalist's recipe. There are few things more soothing than the fresh scent of mint and lemon zest, and this creamy risotto is a perfect supper to usher in spring.
Recipe: Lemon Artichoke Risotto with Shrimp
for the risotto
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped (1 teaspoon reserved for shrimp)
- zest and juice of 1 lemon (1 tablespoon zest reserved for shrimp)
- 2 cups organic Arborio rice
- 4 cups seafood stock
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 cup fruity white wine
- 1 6-ounce jar water-packed artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
for the shrimp
- 1 pound wild U.S. shrimp, peeled and deveined
- reserved garlic and lemon zest from above
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- sea salt and pepper
Gently toss the shrimp with chopped garlic, lemon zest, olive oil, and a generous amount of sea salt and pepper. Let marinate at room temperature while preparing the risotto.
Bring seafood stock and water to simmer in a stock pot.
In a dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium low heat and cook garlic several minutes, until translucent. Increase heat to medium and add rice, stirring to coat with oil, and cook 4-5 minutes. Rice will turn translucent and begin to appear lightly toasted. Add lemon zest and juice. Pour in wine and cook 1 minute.
Begin ladling the stock, two ladles full at a time, into the risotto. Stir frequently after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed, then add the next batch. The process of adding, stirring and absorbing liquid will take about 20-25 minutes. The rice will release its starch, resulting in a creamy white sauce. Taste periodically until the rice is al dente — still firm but no longer crunchy in the middle. When the desired texture is reached, gently fold in artichoke hearts, mint and parmesan cheese and remove from heat.
Under a broiler, cook shrimp about 2 minutes on each side, until pink and opaque. Serve atop risotto, and garnish with additional fresh mint and/or shaved parmesan. Makes 4-6 servings. Enjoy!
Note: You can replace the seafood stock with vegetable and omit the shrimp to serve the risotto alone for a vegetarian or Meatless Monday-friendly supper.

Hi gang. OK, time to check in a bit. I am happy to say that I did Week 6, day 2, and it went well enough that I will attempt sorm form of day 3 tomorrow, if my legs feel better than they do today. Kind of tired today, but probably they will feel OK in the AM. Not at all sure I can do 25 min. w/o walking, but plan to find out soon.
Drink water, and don't run in the heat of the day. Woods Lady

Indoors I'm doing w8d3 the next time I hit the treadmill. Then it's on to week 9! As a bonus, my mother has given up trying to use the treadmill, so it looks like it's going to be moving downstairs to my part of the house. Woot!
Outside, I discovered that my normal route is just about 2.5k, so my goal is to be able to run my route twice. I tried this morning, but my calf cramped up on me even with the help of my husband skateboarding next to me with a bottle of water. However, I did manage to run my best pace ever, and ran for longer distances outside on this run than I had previously. On a weird note, we shared the bike path this morning with a guy who was harnessed to a hand-cart and pulling a rather large woman in the back, who was reading aloud to him. For once I wasn't the strangest person out on the path! Hell, a heavily tattooed chick with facial piercings and pinkish-red hair might even be normal!

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop. | my running blog | upcoming races
Onoma, you are doing great. Wow! Hey, the story about the man hauling around the woman in the cart is just crazy. If you know how (I don't), try putting it on the Masters Forum as the weirdest thing you have seen while on a run. They would love it.
I had cramps in my legs last night from eating too much junk, so am getting a slow start, but getting ready to get ready to go out and try the 25 min. run for the first time. Woods Lady

Hey there.
I tried searching, but to no avail as specifying the search query is a bit hard in this case..
Anyway, I have a listbox with dynamic content that's read from a file, along with some inactive edit controls that are supposed to be modified by the application depending on which entry is selected.
I do know how I can use the LB_GETSEL message and so on, but I was wondering how I could know if an entry was selected? I used Spy++ from Visual Studio, but couldn't really get any relevant messages that weren't just generic Mousedown/up.
How can I know if an entry in the listbox was selected so I can retrieve the contents of it?
All help greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help with a couple of moth IDs?:
1) A couple of weeks ago, in the garden:
2) One from last October - looked as if it was on its last legs!:
Many thanks,
Hi Lapaz,
The first one is Large Yellow Underwing (Noctua pronuba), a bit variable but this one is one of the lovely typical forms.
The second photo is not really so worn per say. Its Large Ranunculus (Polymixis flavicincta).
Hope these are helpful to you.
Many thanks for the reply - very helpful.
I'm quite new to moth IDs, so knocking off a couple of the common ones is really useful!
No Problem Mike,
You'll be old hand at it in no time

I changed domain names. I have 1000+ pages. All the paths in the new domain have change significantly. Currently I just used this blanket rule in the htaccess to rewrite all files to the new domain root. RewriteRule (.*) http://www.newdomain/ [R=301,L]. (is that a good way to do that first of all??). But my question really is... I feel lazy doing this. But to write out a 1000 rewrite rules and painstakingly work out the new paths seems like a lot of room for error and it would take me forever. What would YOU do in this case?
A couple years ago I changed the URL structure on a site from one based on an ID number (mysite.com/index.php?id=12) to one using a search engine friendly slug (mysite.com/slug-with-keywords). It was probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 4,000 pages affected. What I did was create a database table mapping the old ID numbers to the new slug, and I created the table by writing a PHP script to do it. It didn't take that long to write the script to create the map table. Then I wrote an htaccess rule to check if the page request matched the ID number pattern and if so, I rewrote it to a PHP file which queried the database to retrieve the new URL then issued a 301 redirect.
It did not take that long to do and was an effective solution. It took much less time than it would have taken to write out thousands of htaccess redirects which is probably not a good idea anyway.
Ya from what little I know I see that's the way to do it. That must be so empowering to just be able to write all that yourself. Unfortunately I am not empowered with that stuff.
First, you've learned the lesson about planning a site change (I hope).
Second, what you need is a RewriteMap. Unfortunately, you need access to the httpd.conf to configure that as it can easily bring an entire server down for a simple typo (syntax error).
Third, what cd described is what I've been calling "A Poor Man's RewriteMap," a PHP script which can read a database or just a flat file (essentially, just a table with two columns) which should only be used for 404 situations. Kudos to cd for working that out! While the read-a-file isn't a difficult thing for PHP to do, I'd just create an array in the 404.php script to do that rather than read a separate file. Of course, the redirection would entail TWO header("location:...") lines, one for a 301 status code and the second for the redirection.
Thanks guys for the info. No I new what was coming. Changing the paths was worth it.
If it is PHP and alot of rewrites, you probably want database not flat file. Reason being PHP will have to parse that flat file on every request whereas it can just query the database which will likely be largely more efficent.
If you can get into a persistent environment then flat files become more interesting as you can do something like hydrate a dictionary and keep it in RAM and take advantage of very fast lookups that way.

She was bloody good, but she's also too bloody old to be Lois now (which goes to show you about the point I made last year in another thread of mine about casting the right actress at the right time.)

"As Claire Tomalin demonstrates in her vivid and moving new biography, Dickens's own life was rich in the attributes we call "Dickensian"shameless melodrama, gargantuan appetites, reversals of fortune.... To encompass this frenzy, Tomalin keeps the story racing. She brings Dickens to life in all his maddening contradictions.... Dickens walks off the page, and the pace never flags. Tomalin accomplishes this resurrection in a mere 417 pages of text, supplemented by dozens of illustrations, several maps of Dickens's London and a helpful dramatis personae.... If you plan to read only one biography of the most popular Victorian writer, it should be this one."Washington Post
"Clear-eyed, sympathetic and scholarly, she spreads the whole canvas, alive with incident and detail, with places and people. She writes of publishers, illustrators, collaborators and all Dickens's intersecting circles of friends and family. It is wonderfully done."Economist (London)

I make a swich after a variable of type CORBA::Ushort. The gcc flags that it cannot reduce the type to an int an aborts the compilation.
Is there a mapping between the CORBA types and C++ types? I don't know nothing about CORBA and any help would be appreciated.
PS The CORBA definition for the type is:
typedef unsigned short.
This type after translation to C++ goes into CORBA::Ushort .
How could I put this one into a switch....

"This is going to be in the history books what we're announcing," LaHood said Friday morning at Wayne State University in Detroit, accompanied by Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and Detroit Mayor Dave Bing. "No other city in America had business leaders come together and raise $100 million," he said, referring to the significant backing of the project by metropolitan area private-sector interests, who have generated $100 million.
LaHood also noted that $6.5 million in Federal Transit Administration planning funds will help Michigan develop Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) network to expand transit options, connecting downtown Detroit with its suburbs and key destinations in the region.
The secretary also noted Gov. Snyder has signed into law legislation creating a Regional Transportation Authority, something FTA and other federal officials had strongly urged as a prerequisite to federal funding opportunities for public transit.
In early 2013, U.S. DOT awarded $25 million for the M-1 plan as part of a 9.3-mile, $500 million project. But the grant was redirected to a BRT plan in December 2011, and the M-1 rail project was scaled back.
At press time it was unclear if the funds awarded Friday is a reallocation once more of the existing amount, or funding from a different source. LaHood on Monday noted that the M-1 advocates have raised $100 million in funding from private sector sources.
The streetcar line is expected to include 11 stations, serving Campus Martius, Comerica Park (home to Major League Baseball's Detroit Tigers), the Detroit Medical Center area, and Wayne State University. Planned frequency is every seven minutes during peak periods, with 12-minute frequencies off-peak.
"The M-1 Rail project will truly be a catalyst for bringing new jobs, employers, retailers, and attractions into downtown, Midtown, and the New Center area along Woodward Avenue," Federal Transit Administrator Peter Rogoff said.
Private-sector backers of the project include the Kresge Foundation, the Penske Corp., and Quicken Loans, among others.

Spread the word: Wasabi Cheese is a tasty appetizer
Lights twinkling under a night sky the color of a Spanish black olive, brick pathways winding through lush tropical foliage and the soothing sound of fluttering palm fronds set the stage for a champagne reception on the opening night of the 29th annual Key West Literary Seminar.
Jennifer Cornell, chef and owner of Small Chef at Large Classic Catering in Key West, strolled through the Tropical Gardens of the Audubon House with an air of tranquility, as though she had just come from a relaxing massage at one of the Key West spas. Quite the contrary. Cornell and her team had been working all day, slicing, dicing, whipping and cooking, preparing to serve a large gathering of writers, including several with a focus on food.
Tables adorned with an abundance of temptingly beautiful food were strategically placed along the brick pathways running through the Gardens. Servers wound through the crowd of people, balancing large trays of lamb lollipops, perfectly cooked scallops, shrimp skewered with fresh sprigs of rosemary and shrimp bruschetta. Appreciative guests with gourmet palates eagerly seized the food from the walk-around offerings.
Several days after that reception under the Key West night sky, I visited with Chef Jennifer in her office tucked in the back of a VFW hall. Between phone calls and employees with questions, I was able to glean some insight on what makes this woman one of the most respected caterers in Key West. I also came away with a couple of her recipes.
A guided tour through the kitchen is clear evidence that Cornell's calm demeanor is achieved through extreme organization. Papers with information about upcoming catering jobs were taped to the stainless steel doors on the large refrigerator. Cornell believes the key to success of everything in life is having lots of lists.
The chef explained that eating fresh and local in Key West looks different from what those of us in the Midwest expect. Almost no green space and poor soil makes gardening in Key West next to impossible. Fresh produce comes by truck from Miami. That's about as "local" as vegetables get. For eaters in Key West, it's boat to table rather than farm to table. Fresh seafood is what local looks like in Key West. Cornell uses fresh seafood as she prepares light, lively and exciting menu items for her clients.
As I pedaled my bike back to the guesthouse where I was staying, I thought about how Chef Jennifer's philosophy for running her catering business could be used by everyone preparing meals in home kitchens - be organized, prepare meals using local seasonal ingredients when possible and keep food light, lively and exciting.
I was also thinking about returning home to prepare the recipes Cornell kindly shared with me. At the champagne reception several nights before my visit with the caterer, I found myself returning several times to the table that had a cheese ball covered with wasabi peas, those crunchy dried green orbs coated with horseradish. If you eat too many at once, you'll feel your nasal passages burn. But on this ball of wasabi-flavored cream cheese, the heat of the wasabi peas is perfectly balanced with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil.
You don't have to be a trained chef to make Wasabi Cheese. It's easy to mix the short list of ingredients together. Be sure to read through the entire recipe and gather all of your ingredients before starting. In no time at all, you'll have a very lively snack to excite the eaters in your house, whether they are family or friends.
Wasabi Cheese
2 tablespoons wasabi powder
1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon water
2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup wasabi peas
In a small bowl, mix wasabi powder, sweet chili sauce and water. When all of the powder has been mixed into the liquid, set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add soy sauce, sesame oil and wasabi mixture. Blend well. Taste and season with a little salt and pepper. Use a rubber spatula to transfer Wasabi Cheese to a serving platter, smoothing the mixture to form a mound. Press wasabi peas into the mound. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Serve with sesame rice crackers.
(Recipe courtesy of Chef Jennifer Cornell, owner of Small Chef at Large Catering in Key West, www.smallchefatlarge.com)
Tips from the cook
--Wasabi Cheese can be prepared in a food processor as an alternative to using an electric hand-held mixer.
--Toasted sesame oil is dark and has a richer flavor than regular sesame oil. It can often be found in the International aisle in grocery stores with the Asian food products or in the natural and organic food section.
--Add ¼ cup sour cream to Wasabi Cheese to create a spreadable consistency perfect for spreading on sandwiches or rolling up inside of deli roast beef slices to serve as an appetizer.
--For more kick, add another tablespoon of wasabi powder to the cheese mixture.

Dear neighbors,
This story of Shapell brings such warm memories of Milpitas. In the Late '90's as Hal and others among us were bringing technology to our world, Shapell was delivering stucco to our hillsides. Our land has been scarred and covered with stucco on boxes quite in a row all over Contra Costa County. The result, if I might borrow Hal's humor, is repetition of monster boxes looking like a Comfort Inn from a strip mall in Fresno.
It is not humor that we must recognize that Shapell was recognized for bringing rows of stucco to our absent landscape that was once the San Ramon and other valleys.

Now couple this with Guy Houston and you have DUBLIN!
Now there is an image that cannot be compared to anything past present (or hopefully future) in Contra Costa County. Houston has never met a homebuilder he did not like!
Be afraid, be very afraid.

Dear neighbors,
The focus of this discussion is the community contribution of Chris Truebridge versus the questions of sprawling development sponsored by Shapell. The questions raised are whether such recognition is appropriate to the results created by Shapell and other builders.

In review of the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisor agenda and results for the 2005 to Present, Supervisor Piepho has repeatedly presented agenda items favoring Shapell. Thus, the question of recognition for Shapell creates questions concerning relationships among county and city governments. The focus of that question is the role of the Rotary Club of San Ramon Valley in such relationships.

Well don't worry everyone...there is a decline in the building of stucco homes. That's the good news for you...the bad news you ask? Unemployment is on the rise cause developers are laying off...Oh but I am sure that is ok with you since you no longer have to wait inline at lunch time cause those pesky building employees aren't taking up space in the resteraunts around town.
Get over it people.....Development is important for our economy. Stop being such elitist!

Summaries of EU Legislation
Summaries of EU legislation: direct access to the main summaries page.
- Archived: true
The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia – Education and culture
Candidate countries conduct negotiations with the European Union (EU) in order to prepare themselves for accession. The accession negotiations cover the adoption and implementation of European legislation (acquis) and, more specifically, the priorities identified jointly by the Commission and the candidate countries in the analytical assessment (or 'screening') of the EU's political and legislative acquis. Each year, the Commission reviews the progress made by candidates and evaluates the efforts required before their accession. This monitoring is the subject of annual reports presented to the Council and the European Parliament.
Commission Report [COM(2011) 666 final – SEC(2011) 1203 – Not published in the Official Journal].
The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was granted candidate country status for European Union (EU) membership in 2005. The Accession Partnership, adopted by the Council in 2008, supports the country's preparations in view of its future membership and the alignment of its legislation with the Community acquis. In 2008, the accession negotiations had not yet been opened, as some progress still needed to be made on the objectives and conditions set out in the partnership.
The 2011 Report focuses on the progress made on the strategic framework 'Education and Training 2020'. Furthermore, it highlights the need to improve interaction between the ethnic communities in education.
EUROPEAN UNION ACQUIS (according to the Commission's words)
The fields of education, training, youth and culture are primarily the competence of the Member States. A framework for cooperation on policies relating to education and training has been adopted with a view to converging national policies and achieving joint objectives through an open method of coordination. It came out of the work programme 'Education and Training 2010', which brings together all the actions in the field of education and training at European level. Furthermore, Member States must take into account the principles stated in the Treaty and ensure that their international commitments contribute towards preserving and promoting cultural diversity. It requires Member States to equip themselves with a legal, administrative and financial framework and the implementation capacities necessary for ensuring sound financial management of European Union programmes related to education, training and youth.
EVALUATION (according to the Commission's words)
Some progress can be reported concerning European standards in the areas of education, training, youth and culture. The country improved its performance in relation to the Education and Training 2020 common benchmarks. The Lifelong Learning and Youth in Action programmes remained suspended. Increasing interaction between the ethnic communities in education remains a challenge.
Commission Report [COM(2010) 660 final – SEC(2010) 1327 – Not published in the Official Journal].
In its 2010 Report, the Commission notes limited progress in the field of education. While the reforms have been made, preparations to implement the EU programmes are not completed. The country has partially fulfilled its objectives in the field of culture.
Commission Report [COM(2009) 533 final – SEC(2009) 1334 – Not published in the Official Journal].
The October 2009 report notes that some progress has been made on education, training and youth, especially in terms of preparing for the country's participation in Community programmes. Nevertheless, further efforts are still needed to implement the national reform strategy, to attain the EU common benchmarks in education and training, to prepare for the management of Community programmes and to establish an efficient system for controlling the functioning of the National Agency.
Commission Report [COM(2008) 674 final – SEC(2008) 2699 – Not published in the Official Journal].
The November 2008 report indicated that good progress had been made in the field of education, training and youth. However, the country's capacity to implement adopted legislation was not sufficient. While preparations for the management of Community programmes on lifelong learning and youth were advanced, further efforts still needed to be made.

Guerrero said he was "feeling better" after experiencing flu-like stomach symptoms in Washington. He missed Wednesday night's game against the Nationals after leaving Tuesday's game in the second inning.
Facing Chan Ho Park in the Interleague series opener with the Dodgers, Guerrero was hoping to resume his thunderous hitting. He carried a 15-game hit streak into the game after batting .444 with three homers and six RBIs in 18 at-bats in Philadelphia and Washington.
Guerrero's .424 batting average is the highest this month in the Majors. He has raised his season average from .249, the lowest of his career on May 31, to .290 with the recent spree.
Park, the veteran right-hander, is familiar with Guerrero, a .319 hitter against him with four homers in 47 at-bats. Most of those at-bats came during Guerrero's days with the Expos.
Maicer Izturis, who left in the third inning of the first game in Philadelphia with tightness in his right hamstring, also reported that he was feeling better and could play if needed. Erick Aybar got the start at shortstop and was handed Chone Figgins' leadoff role with Figgins sidelined by a left knee infection.
The Angels were a bench player down on Friday night. Outfielder Juan Rivera was with his wife in Miami, where she is recovering from the birth of a child, Scioscia said.

After much discussion, the Pope County Quorum Court authorized the purchase of two new patrol cars for the sheriff's office Thursday night.
Pope County Sheriff Jay Winters expressed concern Tuesday night at the Quorum Court budget committee that the department's full-time patrol units were posing a threat to officers because of the high mileage on the cars.
But Winters' original request for the quorum court to purchase 10 patrol cars and two administrative vehicles through a three-year lease purchase agreement was denied. Instead, court members authorized about $40,000 be taken out of Pope County's $89,000 general fund for the smaller purchase of two vehicles.
The court also agreed to bring the issue back to the table at its March meeting to discuss the particulars of obtaining a loan through a local bank to purchase five additional vehicles.
Winters said Tuesday night there are 11 vehicles at the sheriff's office with more than 150,000 miles, and he was concerned about safety.
Out of three purchase options, quorum court members who spoke on the issue favored entering the three-year lease purchase agreement through Ford Motor Company, which would cost the county $110,000 per year to purchase 12 vehicles.
Winters previously told Justice of the Peace Nell Warren, who asked Winters Tuesday night if the cars could be purchased locally, that the state bid was through North Point Ford in North Little Rock. However, after further research, Winters discovered he could purchase the cars at the same price through a local dealership.
Winters and Sheriff's Sgt. Jamie Jackson also researched interest rates through local banks and found the lowest offer to be 4.89 percent.
Winters told justices Tuesday all of the new cars would come equipped with LED blue lights, a console, new radar equipment, and new camera systems. With the alternate purchase deals, extra equipment would have to be purchased and installed separately.
Winters said without the lease agreement, state estimates show a Ford Crown Victoria would cost $20,560, plus the cost of including a $600 light bar, a $5,000 camera system, a $500 patrol cage, and a $2,000 radar system.
Justice Larry Pettus suggested the court purchase all 12 vehicles the sheriff requested be purchased, but his motion failed for lack of a second. Justice Warren told the sheriff although she was concerned about the officers' safety, she was also concerned that the county would not be able to afford such a high payment.
The discussion of patrol car purchases will continue at the March Quorum Court Budget Committee meeting.

Lori Wilde eBooks
From the time I realized real people wrote the books I loved so dearly, I wanted to be a writer. Every time I spied a shooting star, every birthday I blew out my candles, every coin I tossed into a fountain, I made this same wish---Please let me be a writer. I was such a dreamer! Luckily, my no-nonsense mama told me if I wanted to create stories, I'd have to sit down, pick up a pen and actually write. My fledgling effort came when I was eight and wrote a short story about my, as yet unborn, baby sister. That opus went over big with the family, but no publishers came knocking down my door. I penned my first "novel" when I was twelve (okay, so it was only fifty pages and it was a blatant Cady Woodlawn rip-off, but hey, I was only twelve). At sixteen, I wrote a short story for junior English that earned me an A+. Confident that I was the best thing since peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, I submitted the story to Alfred Hitchcock magazine and received a handwritten rejection letter encouraging me not to give up. I was devastated, not realizing it was a good rejection letter. In the meantime, my daddy told me I had to find a way to earn a living and dreaming of being a writer wasn't going to pay the bills, so at his urging I went to nursing school and became an R.N. I didn't do much writing in those busy college days, but once I graduated the writing bug came humming around again. Sixty short stories, sixty rejections and many years later, I followed the advice of a writing teacher and tried my hand at a novel. I decided to target category romance because the books were short and I wasn't so sure I could write anything longer.

Jury Verdicts Database for Cook County, Illinois, and All Counties in California, 1960-1984 (ICPSR 6232)
Principal Investigator(s): Dunworth, Terence; Pace, Nicholas
This data collection contains information on jury verdict civil cases in Cook County, Illinois, and all counties in California. The RAND Corporation's Institute for Criminal Justice began this study in the early 1980s in response to widespread public interest in the magnitude of dollar verdicts returned in civil cases. The goal was to record salient information found in court reporter publications to allow for a wide range of future research. Two such publications were chosen because of their favorable reputations and because they both dated back to 1960: the "Cook County Jury Verdict Reporter" of Chicago, Illinois, and "Jury Verdicts Weekly" of Santa Rosa, California. The collection of data for this study was conducted in two phases. Phase I included cases from 1960-1979, and Phase II coded cases from 1980-1984, including a small number of cases from 1985. In both phases, only cases in which a jury reached a definitive outcome (including deadlocked or hung juries) were included. In Phase I, only San Francisco County cases from the California reporter publication were included. In Phase II, all California counties were included. For all cases in Phase I, a Main Form was completed that included jurisdiction, court type, dates of incidents and trial, information about parties involved, trial occurrences, outcome of trial, awards, and fees. In addition to this Main Form, at least one of nine different case-type forms was completed: Common Carrier-Passenger Form, Dram Shop Form, Injuries on Property/Attractive Nuisance Form, Malpractice Form, Miscellaneous Form, Products Liability Form, Street Hazards/Highway Construction Form, Traffic/Pedestrian/Rider Form, and Work Injuries and FELA Form. These forms contained questions regarding the behavior of each party in the case and other characteristics and facts relevant to the case. A Jury Verdicts Form was completed for all cases in Phase II. This form picked up general case-level and defendant-specific data such as dates and length of trial, case outcome, original number of parties involved, and collapsing of multiple defendants into one case. For each plaintiff, a Plaintiff Information Form was filled out containing general plaintiff information such as losses claimed and the coder's assessment of the degree of the plaintiff's comparative negligence. This form also indicated which of the loss forms was coded for this plaintiff (only one loss form was completed for each plaintiff): Death Action, Personal Injuries, or Money Damages. Each form contained basic information about the outcome of the case, specific damages claimed by the plaintiff, and loss-specific data. Additionally, an Ancillary Action Form was completed for any associated claims that were adjudicated at the time of the main case, such as counter-suits by defendants. The questions on this form were the same as those on the main Jury Verdicts Form. Finally, this study includes an Integrated Jury Verdicts Database (Part 33) containing data from both phases to permit easier analysis of data from all years. This database contains five sections: (1) the basic trial information, which includes the trial dates and lengths, reporter source, and jurisdiction, (2) the main case information, which includes more detailed data about the case such as number of parties involved, case type, types of losses claimed, and total compensatory and punitive awards, (3) information about the first ancillary action, (4) information about the second ancillary action, and (5) a listing of all the forms used.

The original Mafia was a fine example from the fledging days of the sandbox genre. Releasing on the PC in 2002 (just a short year after Grand Theft Auto III literally invented the genre as we know it today), Mafia was a pleasant surprise that took a fine concept and crafted a period accurate world of organized crime for players to sink their teeth into. However, a lot has changed in the eight years since Mafia first launched, and now we finally have a sequel on our hands to see if the franchise can still compete.
A sequel that hits roughly eight years after its predecessor first made waves on the PC, Mafia II updates the setting by a couple of decades, and adds in some new gameplay elements to make it feel largely improved from its predecessor. The game is a solid experience from start to finish, thanks to a great story and some solid missions littered throughout the campaign. However, it also has its fair share of troublesome issues that prevent running with the big dogs of the sandbox action genre. Still, if you can come into this experience without expecting the second coming of Niko Bellic, then you're likely to have a good time with it.
The game puts you in control of Vito Scaletta, the son of Sicilian immigrants, as he works his way out of his poor upbringing into the world of organized crime via the Falcone crime family. You'll deal with the politics of being in a mafia family, experience the loss of loved ones, and make a lot of friends and even more enemies.
Vito is a relatable protagonist, and the game's story does a fine job of showing how he became involved in the world of organized crime. While you never feel the emotional connection with him that you would with Marston in Red Dead Redemption or with Niko in GTA IV, you do get a comprehensive rundown of his character and those close to him. You'll follow Vito from World War II to crime and prison through to the 1950s. The game's storyline stays compelling, made all the better with compelling dialogue and colorful supporting characters.
However, as engaging as your supporting crew members can be, Empire Bay just seems to feel hollow. In other sandbox games such as the aforementioned Red Dead Redemption and Grand Theft Auto IV, the environments were characters in and of itself, teeming with life and activity, and really setting the stage for the action. You never really get that sense from Empire Bay. Sure, there's ample street traffic and people littering the city's sidewalks, and when the game makes its transition from the '40s to the '50s you really do see substantial changes to the cityscape. However, the real sense of life and dynamic in other sandbox games is missing, and everything feels scripted and unnatural.
It's a real shame that that has to be the case, since the crew at 2KCzech has created a truly polished city rife with detail. Everything from the radio stations to the heavy way the vehicles handle has been meticulously recreated (however, like a Merchant Ivory film, just because something is period accurate doesn't make it fun). As in the original Mafia, you can employ a speed limiter, which keeps your car going at the legal speed limit, which will keep the cops off of you more often than not. The handling definitely takes quite a bit of getting used to, as these cars have the turning radius of a boat and are slow to hit top speed, but that's a necessary evil when you're going for period realism. The same goes for the game's weaponry. These aren't the most accurate guns ever constructed, but by employing cover and a little bit of strategy, you should do fine.
The game's missions are diverse and many of them are a blast to play. There are shootouts to be had, dust-ups that show the game's well done fighting system, and even the occasional stealth mission. There are some lulls to be found, and some sequences are simple "drive from point A to point B" affairs, but overall the missions are compelling enough to carry you through the campaign.
However, as solid as the campaign is, the story mode is extremely linear. Compared to other titles in the sandbox genre, Mafia II doesn't feel like much of a sandbox. You're only given one possible mission at a time, and the game's chapters are divided in a way so that there is finiteness to the game's structure. While you can still do side mission things such as steal, sell cars and rob stores, if you come in expecting something as open as Liberty City here in Empire Bay, you will be sorely disappointed.
The PS3 version has its fair share of technical issues, including framerates that take pretty big hits, some screen tearing, generally murky textures, and even some full-on crashes that happened a few times. The Xbox 360 and PC versions fare much better both in terms of polish and stability. However, PS3 owners do get some form of consolation, as they have a free DLC pack with exclusive content ready for them when they purchase the game.
Across the board, and regardless of which version you play, the game's sound is fantastic. The game's soundtrack features choice cuts from the time period and offers some inspired choices, like "Let It Snow" by Dean Martin that plays during the opening 1940's winter scenes, and the voice acting is fantastic. Coupled with the well-written dialogue and a great script, the production values are top shelf here.
Mafia II hits a few snags, be it due to an overly linear campaign, a seemingly empty world, or a handful of technical issues. However, what it lacks in those areas, it almost makes up for in character and a great story that you'll want to see through to the end.

Caught your rant on the Live show, and I agree to a point. I am not prejudiced against all outsourced restaurants...They don't get an automatic negative like you give them, sight (and taste) unseen.
Are you also mad that Disney contracts for monorail construction? Or audio-animatronic construction? How about Mousekeeping services?

Yes! Magical Express used to be an "in house" service and that's been outsourced to Bags, Inc and I can safely say the quality of the service has gone down hill from there.
Disney now even outsources their animatronics! And yes, I hate the Planet Hollywood shop at DHS. I mean, when was the last time any of us went in there or even bought anything? It's totally unnecessary.
To me, all this outsourcing leads to an over all worse product. It's like, what makes Disney special anymore? They're just doing things that any other company can do.

Tips to prevent colorectal cancer
Men and women over age 50 are encouraged to get screened for colorectal cancer, one of the most common cancers among New Yorkers.
It is estimated that one in 20 people will develop colorectal cancer during their lifetime.
"Each year in New York State, more than 10,000 people develop cancer of the colon and rectum, and nearly 3,500 New Yorkers die from this disease," Christine Schuyler, Chautauqua County Director of Health and Human Services, said recently in a press release. However, a large number of New Yorkers remain unaware of their risk and many are not being screened at recommended intervals.
Colorectal cancer can affect anyone, men and women alike, but the risk increases with age, and about 60 percent of those newly diagnosed with cancer of the colon and rectum are age 65 and over.
The Chautauqua County Cancer Services program provides the following tips to prevent the potentially fatal disease:
1. Know your family history: Some people are at greater risk for the disease than others, such as those with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer, history of intestinal polyps or inflammatory bowel disease, and people with a history of certain inherited diseases, such as familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer.
2. Get screened: Colorectal cancer can be prevented or detected early through regular screening. Begin regular screening at age 50. If you have a personal or family history of colorectal cancer or colorectal polyps, or a personal history of another cancer or inflammatory bowel disease, talk to your health care provider about getting screened before age 50.
3. Eat healthy: Enjoy a low-fat diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains from breads, cereals, nuts and beans. Eat foods with folate, such as green, leafy vegetables. A daily multivitamin containing 0.4mg of folic acid may also be helpful.
4. Don't smoke and skip alcohol: If you use alcohol, drink only in moderation. Alcohol and tobacco in combination are linked to colorectal cancer and other gastrointestinal cancers.
5. Get moving: Exercise for at least 20 minutes three to four days each week. Moderate exercise such as walking, gardening or climbing may help reduce your risk for colorectal cancer.
"Talking with your health care provider about screening is vital to preventing colorectal cancer," Schuyler said. "Colorectal cancer is easily treated and often curable when detected early. The tests are often covered by Medicare, Medicaid and many health insurers."

About the Major
The College of Letters (COL) is a three-year, interdisciplinary major for the study of European literature, history, and philosophy, from antiquity to the present. During these three years, students participate as a cohort in a series of colloquia in which they read and discuss works together (in English), learn to think critically about texts in relation to their contexts and influences—both European and non-European—and in relation to the disciplines that shape and are shaped by those texts. Majors also become proficient in a foreign language and study abroad to deepen their knowledge of another culture. The COL, a unique college within the University, has its own library and workspace where students can attend lectures, study together, and meet informally with their professors, whose offices surround the library.
Students wishing to major in the College of Letters must submit an application in the spring semester of their first year. Sophomore transfer students may apply before or during orientation. Applicants must show proficiency in a foreign language. Application forms and information can be found on the COL website under "Apply to the Major."
The College of Letters is a three-year interdisciplinary major for the study of European literature, history, and philosophy. The program consists of 5 components and leads to 11 course credits:
- Five colloquia designed to acquaint students with works of predominantly European literature, history, and philosophy in (respectively)
- The ancient world
- The Middle Ages and Renaissance
- The early modern period (16th-18th centuries)
- The 19th century
- The 20th century
- Four electives minimum (one in history, one in philosophy, one in literature/representation, one in your target foreign language literature). These specialized seminars allow COL majors to shape their COL major around a particular interest.
- One semester abroad, most often in Europe, Israel, or in a country where your selected foreign language is spoken, in the spring of your sophomore year
- One comprehensive examination in April/May of your junior year
- One senior thesis or essay that, along with the specialized seminars, allows COL students to further shape their major along their own interests.
In all these contexts, much emphasis is put on the development of skills in writing and speaking. For this reason, letter grades are not given in courses taken for COL major credit, and COL seminars do not generally have final examinations. Instead, tutors write detailed evaluations of their students' work at the end of each semester, and these are kept on record (and discussed with each student upon request). Our general goal is cultivation of "the educated imagination."
Life in COL. The College of Letters attempts to integrate the social and intellectual lives of its members by inviting guest lecturers and by providing opportunities for students and faculty to meet such guests (and one another) informally. There are also regular, informal social gatherings in the College of Letters library. The structure of the College of Letters and the smallness of its classes bring about a close rapport between tutors and students and a lively and continuing dialogue among students of different classes.
After graduation. The academic standards of the College of Letters are reflected in the fact that its graduates have consistently entered the best graduate and professional schools, including schools of law, medicine, and business administration, as well as communications and the liberal arts. They also have won national fellowships and scholarships.
