From Mies van der Rohe's 1929 Barcelona Pavilion to the Serpentine Gallery's annual summer pavilions designed by architects such as Toyo Ito, Zaha Hadid and Rem Koolhaas, the production of pavilions has been at the forefront of architectural experimentation. Because of their temporary nature and loose functional requirements, pavilions can be realised as a pure expression space and material organisation. Though not automatically categorised as great works of architecture, pavilions have nonetheless provided a vital platform for challenging current practice and facilitating its future evolution.
Designed by Alan Dempsey and Alvin Huang, and realised with students as part of the tenth anniversary celebrations of the AA's Design Research Laboratory, the [C]space DRL TEN Pavilion is one of those built projects that push architectural convention, structural engineering and the building materials industry. A full scale construction that represents a rare collaboration between academia and industry, the pavilion brought together digital explorations in architectural design with advanced structural calculations based on non-linear analysis and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes.
This book recounts the story of the creation of the Pavilion and identifies the key problems encountered during its successful design and realisation. Though grounded in the specific experience of the pavilion, the book argues that these problems are common to broader contemporary design to production workflows and how they are addressed will have a major influence on future architectural pedagogy and practice.

INDIANAPOLIS - The NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Committee has released the Regional Polls today (Nov. 5). This is the final regular-season poll. Georgia College & State University has moved up one spot to No. 4 in the Southeast Regional Poll. With the jump to No. 4, Georgia College again breaks a school record, as this is the highest the team has ever been ranked.
Nationally-ranked No. 19 Georgia College tied Columbus State University 0-0 Saturday Nov. 1. The win guaranteed the Bobcats the three-seed in the Peach Belt Conference Tournament as they hosted six-seed Lander University Tuesday night (Nov. 4). Georgia College was victorious in the catfight, 2-0.
The Bobcats look to redeem themselves against UNC Pembroke who gave them their only loss of the season. The semifinal showdown takes place Friday, Nov. 7 at 5:30 p.m. in Evans, Ga. at Blachard Woods Park.
The GCSU Department of Athletics sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, GCSU prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the Bobcats' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

President Barack Obama predicated his foreign policy on a simple idea: that he would pursue alliances and friendships based on "mutual respect and mutual interests." Turning away from George W. Bush's ideologically driven Freedom Agenda was a natural pivot for Obama. Bush's agenda was ideological. Obama's was practical.
But Obama's approach to the region was not quite free from an ideology. He had an ideological confidence in his own gifts, both biographical and intellectual. He anticipated that he would transform America's relationship with the region through his own speeches, his own engagement and his own efforts.
Recall, that his first diplomatic offensives were aimed squarely at the Arab world. He took on the challenge of forging peace between Israel and the Palestinians right from the outset. One of his first major speeches as president was delivered in Cairo, where his practiced Arabic phrases were aimed at presenting American leadership in a new light, and with a new sound. One cannot say that Obama has ignored his promise to attend to America's status in the Arab and Muslim world. Attention was paid. Energy was expended. Presidential capital was spent.
How fares this approach?
Across the crescent of states stretching from North Africa through Central Asia, America's friends are fewer, its influence smaller, its strategic position weakened. America has lost its reliable ally in Egypt, the most populous Arab nation, now ruled by the Muslim Brotherhood. It has lost the respect of people in Syria, who in rebellion against a dictator see American support as toothless and empty. Iran, America's most implacable enemy in the world, squashed a popular uprising without fearing American action — and now moves into the void we left behind in Iraq.
And this week, our ambassador in Libya, together with three other diplomatic officials, was murdered in a planned operation while a mob in Egypt scaled the fences of our embassy, burned the American flag and raised the flag of al-Qaeda. All on September 11 — a day when anti-Americans are feeling particularly nostalgic. With these kinds of results, and in the middle of a presidential election, it's easy to slip into blame-shifting mode. Obama's allies do not want to accept that all these actions are his fault, and that besides, Iraq was such a colossal error that nothing on Obama's watch compares.
For the sake of argument, let's accept that Iraq was a greater foreign policy error than anything that Obama has committed. I do not accept the argument, but would rather focus merely on Obama and his policies. Let's stipulate that Obama's struggles in the region stand on their own, and are no worse or better than those of Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan or Carter.
Let's merely judge Obama against the goals he hoped to achieve, and let's judge the success of the means by which he hoped to achieve them.
The core thrust of his foreign policy was to win America friends in the world — especially the Muslim world — and that he, Barack Obama, was critical to that approach. Had Obama succeeded in his goal, one would have had to grant him the personal credit for achieving that goal.
Which is fair, because if there is a leader in America who could do a better job articulating Obama's "mutual respect, mutual interests" foreign policy, I'm not sure who it is. If there is a president or would-be president whose biography, patrimony and world view would engender greater trust in the Muslim world, I'm not sure who it would be. If there is one guy in America who, in 2008, had to be charged with helping raise America's then-low standing in the Arab and Muslim world, it would have most likely been Obama, using exactly his gifts and exactly his policies.
Obama can't construct a "what if" world where he gets to do things that weren't done, say things that weren't said, reach out in a way that wasn't tried. The "what if" world he painted for the world in 2008 became the game plan for the following four years.
He had the time to pursue his approach fully. He had two full years before the uprising in Tahrir Square to create a vision for America's new approach to its friends in the region. He has had nearly four full years to convince Israelis and Palestinians to make sacrifices for peace, something he believes is at the heart of the region's conflicts. He has had the time to pull American troops out of Iraq, which was also supposed to improve our standing.
But the man, in the moment, proved wanting. He has no peace agreements. No new regional alliances. No new friends. Our first assassinated ambassador in three decades. Embassies under attack. In the region, America is more isolated than it was on January 19, 2009.
And all of this is before we get to the issue of Iran's efforts to wipe Israel off the map. Whatever the merits of economic sanctions, international pressure and unknown intelligence efforts, Obama's efforts have yielded this: The country we want to unnerve is confident; the country we want to calm is panicked. This is not an outcome of a winning foreign policy.
The results speak for themselves: We are more disliked than we were four years ago. We are closer to a major war between two countries in the Middle East than we have been in two decades. Four years into a presidency predicated on the promise of greater peace and greater respect, we have none of the former and less of the latter.

Hi Peter
Skytag make a GPS/GPRS based vehicle tracking system – there is a purchase cost and then a subscription. If your vehicle is stolen or moves for example when you have told them you are on holiday they track it and inform the police. We have fitted it to both our 110's.
Skytag have agreed to sponsor us on the Mac this year. Part of the deal is that anyone ordering a Skytag using the code Mac4x4 gets the normal price of £249.99 reduced down to £89.00 and for every unit purchased at this rate they will donate £15/unit to our Macmillan sponsor account. Obviously the benefit to them is more people trying the product and signing up to the subscription.
There is a bonus for everyone taking part in the Mac this year who buys (or already has) a Skytag. They will provide a web login that will allow followers of that team to see where the vehicle is now and where it has been. This would be an open portal with any number of vehicles on it, similar to the one they did for the Peking Paris rally where they tracked 62 vehicles. This includes a picture of the vehicle, team name, sponsor links etc all when you hover over the vehicle icon or on the listing name on the left hand side. Anyone participating in the Mac who buys a Skytag unit before the event (or already has one), will get the live tracking for the challenge free. This could turn the event in to an armchair spectator event, giving it more interaction and exposure.
Their website is http://www.skytag-gps.co.uk/.
We are in the process of developing our new 110, which we will be using on this year's Mac 4x4, into an expedition vehicle (a good part of the modifications will be completed before the Mac – I hope). Land Rover Monthly are going to do a feature on our vehicle when it is complete and have agreed to mention any of our suppliers who sponsor us on the Mac. Skytag is our first success. We have the option of having our vehicle on the LRM stand at their show at Stoneleigh in August – and Skytag have invited us on to their stand for any shows we attend this year too. So we hope to generate a fair number of sales at £15 / unit sponsorship.
We are keen to get the message out to all teams on the 2011 Mac 4x4 that if they already have or buy a Skytag before the event that they can have vehicle tracking enabled. I know from speaking to Pete Restall that the Mac 4x4 website isn't 'team specific' in any way Also, I know not all the teams are on the Mac 4x4 Forum. Is it therefore possible to get an e-mail sent to all 2011 teams via you (or directly from us) or to get a notice put on the Mac 4x4 website?
The live tracking could help many of the teams with fundraising, or at least add a bonus to their supporters – hence that is why we are keen to get the Skytag message out to all competitors.
If it would be easier to discuss this then please give me a call on 07866 772950.
Thanks & best regards

- First year head coach Bonnie Bynum picked up her first win at Tennessee Tech after the team downed St. John's, 4-3. The Golden Eagles defeated St. John's thanks to a walk-off single by senior Chanelle Spalding, marking the first win against the Red Storm in program history and the first road victory of the 2013 season.

Yegg Fried Rice (Andhra Style, i.e.)
Sometimes, when life seems really bleak, you should reach deep into your being and you will realise that deep within you lie wonderful reserves of strength. All that you want is within you, you need not look outside.
Translation: Sometimes, when you don't have any energy but have to come up with the minimum, look into your crisper - you may find a box of curry leaves.
On the way back from work, I wanted to buying a biriyani for dinner but the thought began to smell too sharp and spicy, so much so I felt nauseated and smothered, so I abandoned it and schooled myself to make do with this egg fried rice. It was quick fix enough to be unhealthy as it contained no vegetables and the only fibre of any consequence there was a handful of curry leaves. Nevertheless, I would recommend the rice that you see above.
What you need:
2 eggs, beaten well, with a little salt. (Scramble them or make an omelette and cut it into small pieces.)
2 cups cooked rice
2 -3 tsp sambaar kaaram - this is a garlicky chilli powder that has some coriander, fenugreek, cumin and black gram, so try adding all these if you don't have a spice mix that approximates this
10-12 curry leaves.
Salt to taste
Oil - 2-3 spoons
Heat the oil in a wide pan on low heat. Add the curry leaves and then the chilli powder. Heat it but make sure it doesn't burn.
Now add the rice and mix it with the chilli powder and oil till it's all evenly coated.
Add the salt.
Now add the prepared egg and mix well once again.
Switch off the stove, pile it into a bowl or a plate and tuck in.
This is the fourth of the promised five links to Haritha.

The egg does look good. Sambhar powder and sambhar kaaram are same I presume. I can't live without it and so glad this recipe uses it and I plan to cook it on a day when I have to find those reserves from deep within :)ReplyDelete
Totally laughing my head off at the Translation :-DReplyDelete
Yegg fried rice is veiry mu-eich loved
Reading those first few lines made me wonder what must really be going on in the minds of philosophers when they say something very....er....philosophic.ReplyDelete
Indo, they are quite different, but I would make this with sambar powder too if I didn't have the kaaram.ReplyDelete
Bong Mom, thank you :)
Jayashree, now you know!

my Sil gave me what she calls "guntur kaaram podi" which i suspect is from the same family, but your's is darker in colour. she told me its great for meat curries etc (i am vegetarian!!) anyways, i use it to spice up everything including indianised pasta. love love these masalafied yegg fried rice preparations!ReplyDelete
I love any combination of egg and rice :) so what if it doesnt have any veggies? we'll just eat a carrot or 2 extra for the next meal :)ReplyDelete
Arundati, the one I have with me now is lighter! We use it for almost everything - dal, stir-fries.ReplyDelete
tempting fried riceReplyDelete
Yummy Yegg Fried Rice! Never heard about it though. But now I know :)ReplyDelete
Is this post a reflection of what you posted on facebook th eother day about the indianised English...'you wanted to buying'....????ReplyDelete
the rice sounds flavoursome with what you have described of the sambhar kaaram. Would be good that you could post for us the powder too?
Ouch...I just read the fixing of the sambhar Kaaram...sorry about being in a haste!ReplyDelete
Hi hi you are having fun with words these last posts. Never would have thought of making rice like this looks delish. If i don't have anything here in the fridge my option will be having toast with nutella :-)ReplyDelete
Santosh, really v tempting!ReplyDelete
Roshmi, you never heard of yeggs? Singular is yeggu/eggu, just add an s for the plural!
Lata, aargh! I never realised. Do me a help and don't tell yanyone no?
Happy, yes, words is why this blog exists, the food is just the exciting bit on the side! :-D
What a coincidence! I am eating it as I read your post. I had some a small bowl of left over rice and made it for breakfast, without the egg. I do add the egg but not today.ReplyDelete
I also add some onions and green chilies to the fried rice. I don't use sambar karam but pretty much add most of the spices you listed for the karam.
Thats it? thats how simple this - amazing food for the soul on a hurried day I say.ReplyDelete
There are definitely NOT curry leaves in my crisper! And it's just too sad. This looks delicious!ReplyDelete
That is the funniest yegg fried rice I ever read. I have those days too when I have to reach into my reserve and all I come up with is khichadi. I just may make this instead.ReplyDelete
It's a nice preparation procedural of yegg fired rice in an Andhra Style Recipes was good, It's so yummy. I like it.. Thanks for giving out.ReplyDelete
I moderate all my comments. So if you're a human spammer or a bot that can understand this warning, buzz off, don't waste your time here spamming.
PS: Genuine commenters, pls bear with the word verification - it will be turned off after a while.

Adam reckons that Professor Longhair's original of 'Big Chief' is funkier than the dancefloor cover that I posted, and I'm not going to argue with him:
But it set me to thinking about just what it is we mean when we say 'funky'. I'm sure there's plenty of erudite definitions all over the web from people who claim insight on the matter, but I suggest that, rather than attempt to define it, we illustrate it with examples.
So, in the spirit of fun (no dissing, play nice) let's have your nominations for favourite funky stuff.
I'm going to beat Jamie to it and go with the Meters:

The White Rim view!
This is Tom Randall on the Vadge... Looking at his face it looks like he's got his arm stuck deep...!!! Or maybe he's looking for his watch or something???
I asked around and it seems like it would be a FA! PSYCHE! Good way to start the trip. I'm calling it Fisting the Crack... As far as grade goes... It definitely felt harder than the Vadge, so I'm gonna call it 5.13.

An adoptive westerner becomes president of the United States
On this day in 1901, the 42-year-old Theodore Roosevelt is suddenly elevated to the White House when President McKinley dies from an assassin's bullet. But while McKinley's untimely death brought Roosevelt the presidency, 17 years earlier two other deaths had sent the young Roosevelt fleeing to the far West where his political ambitions were almost forgotten.
In February 1884, Roosevelt's young wife died after giving birth to their daughter; a mere 12 hours later his much-beloved mother also died. Devastated by this cruel double blow, Roosevelt sought solace in the wide open spaces of the West, establishing himself on two ranches in the Badlands of Dakota Territory and writing to friends that he had given up politics and planned to make ranching "my regular business." Despite this, three years later he returned to New York City and resumed the political career that would eventually take him to the White House. Even after he had returned to the civilized East, Roosevelt always credited his western interlude with restoring his mental and physical vitality.
From an early age, Roosevelt had been convinced of the benefits of living the "strenuous life," arguing that too many American males had succumbed to the ease and safety of modern industrialized society and become soft and effeminate. Roosevelt thought more men should follow his example and embrace the hard, virile, pioneer life of the West, a place where "the qualities of hardihood, self-reliance, and resolution" were essential for survival. Roosevelt's own western experience was hardly as harsh and challenging as he liked to claim, yet the eastern tenderfoot did adapt quickly to the rougher ways of ranch life. He earned the respect of Dakotans by tracking down a gang of bandits who had stolen a riverboat and once knocked out a barroom bully who had taunted him. Though he spent the vast majority of his life in the East, Roosevelt thereafter always thought of himself as a westerner at heart, and he did more than any president before him to conserve the wild western lands he loved.

Mental Fitness Evaluation Ordered For Alex Koehler
A Quincy man charged with first-degree murder in the death of man whose throat he is accused of slashing has been ordered to undergo a mental fitness evaluation.
Alex T. Koehler is accused in the death of 56-year-old Robert J. Owens of Quincy, who died Saturday. Authorities say Owens was stabbed July 9.
The Quincy Herald-Whig reports Adams County Circuit Judge Scott Walden ordered the evaluation, which will take place July 28. Koehler's next scheduled court date is Aug. 6.
The 27-year-old Koehler was arrested after police on a wellness check found Owens with his throat slashed. Police say they recovered the knife allegedly used in the attack. Prosecutors say the two men knew each other.
Koehler is jailed in Adams County in lieu of $1 million bond.

My lab studies the neuronal circuitry of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) that underlies higher-order cognitive functions. We are particularly interested to see how alterations in synaptic transmission might be related to schizophrenia and drug addiction.
An important cognitive feature of higher organisms is their ability to temporarily structure their behavior and to actively hold in mind information relevant for goal-attainment. This so called "working memory≵ is closely related to the functions of the PFC and its innervation by dopaminergic fibers. Pathological dysfunctions that disrupt the intrinsic circuitry of the PFC and impair working memory have been implicated in numerous mental illnesses, most notably schizophrenia. In addition, the importance of the PFC for executive functions and behavioral flexibility have also made it a focus for studies into the mechanisms that underlie drug addiction.
In order to understand the network properties that underlie the persistent neuronal activity required for working memory, projects in my lab utilize a combination many different techniques that include behavioral tests of cognitive flexibility, electrophysiological recordings in-vivo and in vitro, high-resolution calcium-imaging, pharmacological manipulations, and quantitative immunohistochemistry.
Repeated exposure to a sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine (30 mg/kg) reduces parvalbumin immunofluorescence in the adult medial PFC, mimicking the loss of GABAergic inhibitory interneurons seen in schizophrenia.
Network activity in the form of an Up-state and synaptic stimulation (top insert) in a fast-spiking interneuron. Recordings were made in co-cultures from transgenic GAD67- GFP+ animals. Expression of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) occurs selective in fast-spiking, parvalbumin-positive neurons.
Schizophrenia is a severe neurodevelopmental brain disorder that usually produces a lifetime of disability and emotional distress for affected individuals, and it places a considerable burden on the US economy. Among the clinical manifestations of schizophrenia, the deficits in cognitive abilities are a major determinant of functional outcome in schizophrenic patients. Understanding the cellular basis of these symptoms will aid the development of new treatment strategies. We are particularly interested in the functional role of inhibition in the PFC circuit and how the activity of GABAergic interneurons (which have been identified as a main locus of change in schizophrenia) is modulated by dopamine (Kroener et al., 2007). Several animal models of cognitive dysfunction replicate the functional loss of GABAergic interneurons that is seen in the PFC of schizophrenic patients; however, the physiological mechanisms which lead to this and the implications for network function are yet not well understood.
The so-called NMDA receptor hypofunction theory of schizophrenia provides a framework for the complex interactions of the dopaminergic, glutamatergic, and GABAergic systems in the pathophysiology of the disease. The theory suggests that schizophrenia is associated with a functional loss of NMDA receptors, specifically on GABAergic interneurons, which leads to a loss of inhibition and a secondary overstimulation in the glutamatergic and monoaminergic neurotransmitter systems. Administration of noncompetitive NMDA receptor antagonists such as ketamine or phencyclidine (PCP) in healthy subjects induces a schizophrenia-like syndrome including positive and negative symptoms, as well as cognitive dysfunction. Moreover, these compounds have been shown to exacerbate symptoms in schizophrenic patients. In animal models, acute or subchronic application of NMDA antagonists produces hyperlocomotion and stereotypies as well as deficits in social interactions, which are thought to correspond to aspects of the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, respectively. These animals also show cognitive deficits such as impairments in memory and learning. Hypofunction of NMDA receptors on GABA neurons, especially those that contain the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin, disrupts the synchronization of neural circuits in the gamma-frequency range by altering inhibitory control of pyramidal cell networks. This synchronous activity is correlated with working memory and attentional processes, and thus its disruption in schizophrenia is likely related to the cognitive deficits observed in the disease.
One current line of research in our lab tries to elucidate the changes in excitatory (glutamatergic) synaptic transmission onto interneurons in a developmental NMDA receptor-hypofunction model. Using organotypic co-cultures we also investigate how these alterations affect recurrent activity in small networks of the PFC and related structures such as the ventral tegmental area (the source of the mesocortical dopamine innervation) or the hippocampus. Finally, we examine how NMDA receptor hypofunction affects the ability of DA to modulate the signal-to-noise ratio in these cortical networks (Kroener et al., 2009).
Synaptic barrages during persistent activity. The movie shows calcium transients that result from synaptic activity in a distal dendrite of a pyramidal cell in the PFC. The cell was filled with the calcium indicator Oregon Green 488 BAPTA 1 and up-states were evoked by stimulation of the ventral tegmental area.
Projects in my laboratory also examine how drugs of abuse (specifically cocaine and alcohol) can alter PFC function. A characteristic feature of addiction to alcohol is inappropriate decision making and loss of control over drinking in spite of negative outcomes. This is consistent with accumulating evidence that addiction involves alterations in the ability of the PFC to exert supervisory control over impulsive behaviors related to drug-seeking and relapse to drug taking. Current studies in my lab use an animal model of alcohol addiction to study changes in glutamatergic synaptic transmission and NMDA receptor function in the PFC. Chronic ethanol exposure induces homeostatic increases in NMDA receptors, which may affect the interplay between backpropagating action potentials and localized calcium-spikes required for spike timing-dependent plasticity, a physiologically relevant model of synaptic plasticity. Thus changes at the NMDA receptor could alter integrative properties and synaptic plasticity in PFC pyramidal neurons. These pathological neuroadaptations may contribute to a loss of response inhibition in the PFC during the development and maintenance of alcohol addiction.
Finally, we try to understand how stimulus associations may be "relearned" and new behaviors may be formed to aid the recovery from drug addiction. To this end we study drug extinction in rats that have learned to self-administer cocaine. These animals have learned a certain stimulus-reward association (i.e. a light or tone signals availability of cocaine) and they perform a simple task (a lever press) to receive the reward. At some point the stimulus (i.e. the tone or light) does not result in drug delivery anymore, and during the process of extinction the animal gradually (re)learns to suppress its behavior; that is to stop pressing the lever. We are trying to induce cortical plasticity during extinction in the hope to be able to speed up the process of relearning. Interventions that facilitate the extinction of drug-seeking behavior may prove useful in the treatment of drug addicts and may help them to transition into prolonged abstinence.

World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. or WWE is an American company that primarily deals in professional wrestling. It is the largest professional wrestling company in the world, reaching audiences in 145 different countries. The company is chaired by Vince McMahon who is also the major owner and CEO of the company. Together with his family, they own approximately 70% of WWE and 96% of the voting power in the company.
WWE makes money from everything - films, music, product licensing and direct product sales. The company's headquarters are located in Stamford, Connecticut. WWE has offices in New York, Los Angeles, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, Singapore and Mumbai.
The company started in 1952 as Capitol Wrestling Corporation, under the banner of the World Wide Wrestling Federation (WWWF) and later the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). In 1982 the company was sold to Titan Sports that became World Wrestling Federation Entertainment and finally World Wrestling Entertainment in 2002. In 2011 the name was simplified to WWE.
Today the company produces nine different shows - Raw, SmackDown, Tribute to the Troops, WWE NXT, WWE Superstars, WWE Tough Enough, Survivor Series, WWE TLC and WrestleMania. Modern professional wrestling is based on martial arts, which combines thousands of years of history and attractive appearance, signature sounds and art features. Of course, above all are the grappling techniques like choke holds, take-downs, fighting in the clinch and striking in strategic ways. The wrestlers today are great athletes and talented actors.
WWE has produced hundreds of superstars, like Tony Atlas, Shawn Michaels, Jesse Ventura, Hulk Hogan, Billy Graham, Bret Hart, Andre the Giant, Ivan Putski. Their stories can be found in the WWE Hall of Fame, among others.

Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 Beta period extended
In October, we shipped Beta 2 of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4. Since then, we have received a lot of helpful, constructive feedback from you all. Thank you.
A lot of you have given us very positive feedback on the new capabilities of VS 2010 and .NET Framework 4 and are very happy with the breadth of value that we are poised to deliver in this release.
At the same time, you have also given us feedback around performance issues, specifically in a few key scenarios including virtual memory usage. As you may have seen, we significantly improved performance between Beta 1 and Beta 2. Based on what we've heard, we clearly needed to do more work. Over the last couple of months, our engineering team has been doing a push to improve performance. We have made significant progress in this space since Beta 2.
With these improvements in the product, we do want to make sure that they truly address the performance issues while continuing to maintain a high quality bar. As a result, we are going to extend the beta period by adding another interim checkpoint release, a Release Candidate with a broad "go live" license, which will be publicly available in the February 2010 timeframe.
Since the goal of the Release Candidate is to get more feedback from you, the team will need some time to react to that feedback before creating the final release build. We are therefore moving the launch of Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4 back a few weeks.
Please continue to send us your feedback. It truly has an impact on the product development process and helps us to deliver a high quality product.

cool idea. this is something great to make a big batch up and stick in the fridge. then if you put it in a lidded jar you can just give it a good shake :D

About a year ago, I made my first salad dressing from scratch - using pretty much exactly this process - and haven't picked up a bottle of pre-made ever since! Once you get the hang of it - and DOLS is a great way to remember - you can go all over the place with whatever citrus, mustard, vinegar, oil, etc. you have on hand! Great post, Zoe.

Yes, yes, yes! This is exactly how I love to dress my salads - simply, and with basic ingredients. I haven't bought bottled salad dressing in years. So glad you shared this.

This is simple and I am sure is delicious. I keep my dressing simple too. Most of the time it is just lemon juice and salt. Now a days I like Balsamic vinegar with the salad. :-)

I always do this dressing but I put a little sugar in it because my daughter likes it that way and I get her to eat veggies!

Love this...it's what I use on Parmesan Chicken, served on butter lettuce. My main dressing is Nora Ephron's from Heartburn: 2 T olive oil, 2T vinegar, 2T dijon. THe proportions are just perfect, whatever vinegar you use...and you can add/subtract on the dijon.

I love the flavors.
I'm with Grace - I think it should be called the SOLD dressing.

World Issues Today: Interview with Peter Piot, Executive Director of UNAIDS
On May 30, a few weeks before the World AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa (July 9-14), AIDS Treatment News interviewed Peter Piot, M.D., executive director of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), on current international issues in the control of the epidemic.
ATN: What is the importance of having the World AIDS Conference in Africa?
Piot: This is the first time since these conferences started in 1985 that one has been held in a developing country -- and in Africa, which is bearing the brunt of the AIDS burden. The world's attention is now focused on AIDS in Africa, which was not the case two years ago at the last World AIDS Conference in Geneva.
And we can learn much from Africa that will help us in developed countries as well -- for example, in minority communities, in strategies for prevention education, and in how to provide care in resource-poor environments.
ATN: What do you see as the major issues likely to dominate the discussion in Durban?
Piot: First, access to care for people in African and other poor countries. How can we offer something more than nothing, as is the case today, to those infected and living in the poorest countries of the world? The challenge at the conference will be to get away from simple solutions for complex problems like care.
The recent offers by pharmaceutical companies, and the negotiations between UNAIDS and five companies on getting the prices down for antiretrovirals and drugs for opportunistic infection, is one part of a potential solution. There are also calls for producing generics. I think both are necessary.
The second issue that will dominate is the question of how to sustain prevention efforts in developed countries when people do have access to antiretrovirals -- and how to sustain this effort in resource-poor environments as well.
Today more resources are becoming available for developing countries -- both from the local governments, and from the international community. So how to best use these opportunities is no longer academic, and will become a major issue.
And the Durban conference will also cover basic science advances -- and clinical developments, around viral resistance, adherence, when to start treatment, and many other areas.
ATN: How do you see the conference theme this year, "Breaking the silence?"
Piot: When the conference chose that theme we were in a different time, before the breaking of the silence by many African leaders in the last 12 months. But still, in many countries with hundreds of thousands or millions infected, only a handful of people living with HIV have come out publicly and are accepted in their societies. In this situation it is hard to imagine an effective response to the epidemic, either in prevention or in offering care.
And we need to break the silence around the world's responsibility. It will be one of the great moral tests of our time, how the richer countries are finally going to take responsibility and assist the poor nations in containing the AIDS epidemic -- not only to do good, but also in the interest of the whole world.
ATN: How is UNAIDS working to improve access to drugs for opportunistic infections in developing countries?
Piot: In access to care, our priority is drugs for the prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections. It's not there today -- and we could achieve important results. We know from the pre-antiretroviral era in the West, and also from trials in developing countries, that we can extend life and improve quality of life by prevention of tuberculosis, and by co-trimoxazole prophylaxis. This is important not only for individuals -- perhaps adding two years to one's life -- but also, with a heterosexual epidemic and large families, when parents die there are many orphans. Another two years means more time for the children to be with their families, be in school, and so on.
UNAIDS is helping countries to set standards of care -- meaning the consensus in a particular society on what care we will offer our fellow citizens with HIV, and what we believe is affordable with public funding, so that we will invest in training healthcare workers and in making sure these particular drugs are available, and so that people who need this care will know they have a right to it.
UNAIDS also invests in healthcare infrastructure, especially in training programs with community groups.
In Africa, for example, we have pushed for access to co-trimoxazole as a prophylactic drug for people living with HIV. We are also investing heavily in training and availability of voluntary counseling and testing, which is the bridge between prevention and care. Perhaps 95% of people with HIV in the developing world have no clue that they are infected.
And we are negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to bring down drug prices.
ATN: Concerning the pharmaceutical companies, what about the recent situation where the South African government computed that even with the 85% reduction offered on paper by some of the companies, the government still could not afford to treat its population?
Piot: I agree with that, for antiretroviral therapy. But it is not true for prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections.
And it illustrates that the price is not everything. Even at 10% of current price, about $1000 per year (per person for antiretroviral treatment) is more than many countries can afford. But it certainly is an option for some middle-income countries, in Latin America for example, or in some Asian countries.
We believe that government should invest far more in care for people with AIDS, focusing on opportunistic infections.
ATN: What about the recent U.S. government proposals for increasing funding and other AIDS efforts?
Piot: We applaud the recent increases in funding for international AIDS by the U.S. government. I think this will set the trend for other rich countries, for the European donors and for Japan.
I hope that this epidemic will continue to be treated as a bipartisan issue [in the U.S.], and that the response will be sustainable. And I hope that political dialog with other countries will be included.
It's not only a matter of money; the governments of the affected countries also have to invest in HIV activities. You need people, and you also need goods like drugs, condoms, test kits, and so on. Often international assistance is necessary because the goods have to be paid for in hard currency. I hope that the U.S. will work with other nations, and with the United Nations, in pursuing these goals. It is going quite well at this time.
The message is, sustain the effort, and make sure that the money goes to communities, and to efforts that can make a difference.
With greatly increased resources, and with an expanding set of players, coordination of efforts will become more important than ever. This is one of our major mandates in UNAIDS.
ATN: How can U.S. activists and AIDS service organizations make an impact on the global epidemic?
Piot: Last year was a turning point, when AIDS activists in the U.S., the Congressional Black Caucus, and others were able to improve and increase the support for international AIDS.
There are several reasons why domestic and international AIDS activism should join. The reason we have been very successful as activists is that there has been strong solidarity among people living with HIV and people in affected communities. This solidarity should be expanded throughout the world. It will be necessary that those in rich and poor countries join hands.
Also, in the U.S., many communities come from somewhere in the developing world; from the Caribbean for example, or from Africa. This provides a direct bridge between the U.S. and some of the countries that are most affected by the epidemic.
And everywhere people need to strengthen community activism and responses. We strongly believe in the importance of community-to-community dialog and support, which will benefit both sides.

HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — Kurt Rambis is back with his beloved Los Angeles Lakers — not reunited with Phil Jackson, but aligned with Mike D'Antoni — as the Hollywood subplots thicken yet again [insert suspenseful organ music here].
On the surface, Rambis is a great hire. He's had three previous stints with the team he won four championships with, playing the role of the blue-collar banger, the garbage man on a team of stars. Known for being more of a defensive mind, he should serve well his new boss who has been a little light on 'D' wherever he's been and will never make it as a Tom Thibodeau stunt double.
On Monday, the Lakers announced the hiring of Rambis and longtime assistant Johnny Davis. Earlier in the month, Mark Madsen was elevated as a member of D'Antoni's revamped staff for the mystery that is the 2013-14 season.
"Kurt is a great basketball mind, extremely good at working with big men and his experience as a head coach in this league is going to prove very helpful to our staff," D'Antoni said in statement.
Rambis went 32-132 in two seasons at Minnesota, but, after all, that was with those Timberwolves. But Rambis did go 24-13 with the Lakers after Del Harris got the boot following a 6-6 start to that lockout-shortened season. Jackson began his first L.A. run the next season.
Rambis' latest return to the Lakers comes eight months after he first unpacked his whiteboard. Five games into last season and Rambis was set to check out of both his ESPN and local L.A. analyst chairs for a red-carpet return to the bench. When the Lakers canned Mike Brown it certainly appeared that the great one — "11 Rings" Jackson — would descend from the Montana mountaintop and right-hand Rambis would be right behind him.
"They had told Phil that it was his job [in a Saturday interview], that he was their first choice, and they agreed to wait until Monday … to allow him time to digest whether or not he felt he was, in fact, the right coach to come and coach this team," Rambis told USA TODAY Sports on Nov. 12. "And, in fact, his agent [Todd Musburger] flew into town — he's here from Chicago — to start negotiations. So Phil had made his mind up that he wanted to coach this team. Somewhere between Saturday afternoon, when Phil and I had a conversation, and Sunday night, the Laker organization made a complete 180-degree turn."
In the ugly aftermath, Rambis wasn't shy about criticizing D'Antoni's coaching from whichever analyst chair he occupied.
Now, he's just happy to be a member of D'Antoni's staff, as he tweeted Monday.
At D'Antoni's last stop, he also made a mid-stint hire to bring in the more defensive-set Mike Woodson from the Atlanta Hawks prior to the 2011-12 season. Seven months later, the embattled D'Antoni resigned and Woodson was named interim coach, and later had the interim tag removed.
D'Antoni hiring Rambis can be interpreted as a smart move to bring in a longtime Kobe Bryant ally, a decision some might say reveals a flexible side to the coach when he's so often criticized for inexplicable rigidity. Or it can be viewed as management's way of moving in a ready-made interim in case things dip in a southerly direction and smoke signals must go out to Jackson.
Or, maybe this interesting hire simply indicates the Lakers are moving to sign another Rambis guy from his past Lakers days — Lamar Odom.

This team annoys the crap out of me, they seem to have our number.
Wow, 21% shooting, this can't get any worse, right?
I hope its a matter of time till we get hot. couple 3's
Damn Klay, this what we need, we know he is a good shooter, if he passes and penetrates like he is doing will only help his all around game and make him more lethal.
We have to push it against this team.
We have to push it against this team.
Here we go, definitely getting back into the groove.
Their bigs, Vucevic and Nicholsen, are killing us, we need Bogut back.
This is getting embarrassing, we can beat the elite teams but not shitty Orlando.

DANBURY, Conn. (info taken from a WCSU press release) -- The Brandeis University volleyball team rolled to a 3-0 win in their 2013 season opener against the Worcester State University Lancers in a match played as part of the Western Connecticut State University Invitational. Set scores were 25-15, 25-15, 25-22. Brandeis is now 1-0, WSU, 0-1.
The Judges had several fine performances. Senior co-captain and setter Yael Einhorn (Cherry Hill, N.J./Cherry Hill East) turned in a double-double with 32 assists and 10 digs. Brandeis's two All-UAA selections from a year ago continued their excellent play, as junior outside hitter Liz Hood (Albuquerque, N.M./Albuquerque Acad.) had a match-high 13 kills, while classmate libero Elsie Bernaiche (Plantsville, Conn./Southington) led all players with 13 digs. Rookie right-side hitter Jessica Kaufman (Tucson, Ariz./Cienaga) performed well in her debut with seven kills, second-most in the match, and a .333 hitting percentage that led all players (7 K-2 E-15 TA).
Leaders for Worcester State were Alyssa Jasper (Rockland, Mass.) with six kills, Amanda Lewis
(Poughkeepsie, N.Y.) with 18 assists, and Vicki O'Brien (Canton, Mass.) with 12 digs.
Brandeis will take on host Western Connectictut State and Worcester State in tomorrow's invitational action.

Correia's pupils were benefiting from the "Artist in Residency" program, which brings professional musicians to the school to teach, inspire and perform with them.
The Correia Instrumental Music Association (CIMA) and Glen Fisher's First Friday Music Club partner to raise funds to bring professional local musicians to Correia.
Marc Dwyer, the school's band director and Glen Fisher collaborate to choose musicians and organize the workshops and performances. Delfeayo Marsalis, Bill Watrous and the Dallas Brass are among the list of musicians the "Artist in Residency" program has brought to Correia Middle School in past years.
In addition to being a member of the music faculty at Grossmont College, Cannon is also a member of the jazz studio faculty at San Diego State University. He teaches music theory, jazz improvisation, elements of jazz, and he is the founder/director of the Afro-Cuban Ensemble at Grossmont College.
He has performed with such musical greats as Natalie Cole, The Four Tops, Clark Terry and The Temptations and at The Montreaux Jazz Festival in the Switzerland, The Umbria Jazz Festival in Italy and the Montreal Jazz Festival in Canada.
Cannon found the Correia students to be attentive and appreciated their ability to remember what he taught them.
"They are sponges, just absorbing everything," Cannon said.
Cannon is familiar with the Correia band, having judged them in competitions before and commented that the program is a great experience for the students.
"Having a music program like this is invaluable for the students and rare for a middle school," he said.
The students spent several half-days working with Cannon and performing for their school.
The residency culminated with a public performance at Sufi restaurant in Clairemont, where the students played with Cannon, Fisher and other professional musicians. The students said they found their sessions with Cannon "challenging."
Seventh-grader Andrew Johnson said Cannon taught students to "listen to each other better when we play." He said the young musicians also liked performing solos and "getting better."
