WiF call for independent enquiry
A network of professional women working in football has called for an independent enquiry after Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore escaped punishment for sending sexist emails.
A Football Association equality panel will meet on Tuesday to discuss Scudamore's case after he received full backing from 17 Premier League clubs - the three relegated clubs were not included the process.
The FA's inclusion advisory board (IAB), chaired by independent FA board member Heather Rabbatts, will look into Scudamore's emails and the Premier League's process in handling the case.
Scudamore spoke of his "sincere contrition" after the clubs opted against any further disciplinary action but Women In Football on Tuesday said it was "disappointed" with the decision.
A statement published on womeninfootball.co.uk read: " Women in Football is disappointed that the Premier League has missed a significant opportunity to demonstrate a strong commitment to equality in the workplace.
"In not recommending action - in any form whatsoever - it will be extremely difficult for women working in the industry to feel reassured that this issue has been adequately addressed.
"In a Women in Football survey over two thirds of the respondents ascribed sexism as a characteristic of their working environment.
"With such evidence of sexism in the football workplace, we feel it is irresponsible for any organisation to dismiss this issue without following good practice and taking independent expert advice.
"We renew our call for an independent enquiry into this matter. We believe it is imperative that any conclusions reached by the Premier League are done so through the means of an objective audit in which employees are given the opportunity to express their views anonymously to an independent body.
"We are additionally concerned that the "extensive consultations" with women in the football industry, cited in the Premier League's statement yesterday, did not extend to Women in Football, despite our position in representing over 1,000 women working across the sport."
Scudamore has said he would hold a series of meetings across football's administration to reassure them of his commitment to promote women in the game.
The statement continued: "Women in Football are committed to helping the Premier League champion and support women in the workplace. We also recognise, and welcome, Richard Scudamore's statement of apology and pledge to uphold equality in his remit as Chief Executive.
"Following the Premier League verdict on this incident we now look to the FA as the game's governing body to act appropriately, pending discussions and recommendations from their Inclusion and Advisory Board meeting this afternoon."
The row has gone to the very top of British politics, with Prime Minister David Cameron saying the sexist emails highlighted the need for people to treat others with respect.
Cameron said he had not personally read the messages sent by Scudamore, but that high standards had to be maintained.
Asked if a minister would survive in their job if they admitted sexist behaviour, he told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I don't think they would.
"I have to be careful what I say because I haven't seen these specific emails, but...we have to set and keep high standards in politics.
"I have tried to enforce that in my own party."
He added: "I haven't actually seen the emails myself but obviously people should treat everybody else with respect."
West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady insisted Scudamore "is categorically not sexist'', but said she was disappointed to learn of the emails.
The head of anti-discrimination group Kick It Out, Lord Herman Ouseley, said Cameron's statements showed the need for change in football.
Ouseley said: "The Prime Minister stated earlier today that he wouldn't tolerate these types of comments in his own cabinet. A decision like this and the way it was made reflects the dominance, strength and culture at the very top of the football pyramid."
Ouseley also claimed the Premier League's process in dealing with Scudamore was "flawed".
Ouseley said: "Richard Scudamore is one of the most successful and powerful men in world football. The outcome of the proceedings into the revealed emails and their contents leaves the status quo intact.
"The process adopted by the Premier League is a flawed one and there was only ever going to be one outcome. It is incumbent on the Premier League to put in place a proper, objective, fair and independent process for dealing with such important matters in future."

text: The lymphatic system is a complex network of thin vessels, valves, ducts, nodes, and organs. It helps to protect and maintain the fluid environment of the body by producing, filtering, and conveying lymph and by producing various blood cells. Lymph nodes play an important part in the body's defense against infection. The most common cause of swollen lymph nodes is infection, which might occur even if the infection is trivial or not. Afferent lymph vessels bring unfiltered fluids into the lymph node to be filtered while efferent vessels carry clean fluids away from the lymph node and to the cardiovascular system where it helps form the plasma in the blood. Overall, lymph nodes work like a biological filtering system. When the body is invaded by foreign organisms, the painful swelling sometimes felt in the neck, armpits, groin, or tonsils comes from the microorganisms being trapped inside collections of lymph cells or nodes. Eventually, these organisms are destroyed and eliminated by cells that line the walls of the lymph nodes and the swelling and pain subside.

I love that there has been more food featured on HH. :)
I went to Yale for my Master's and so had my fill of some truly fine eats and some mighty cheap drinks at perfectly old school joints like the Anchor Bar (which I read recently is still there, which makes me happy). However, I think it is a really good thing that this fine creamery was not in existence then or I would have BECOME one big cheese ball! These look amazing. Don't know if I dare try them...
Bon Weekend,

This time last year I was reading Organized Simplicity: The Clutter-Free Approach to Intentional Living (Tsh Oxenreider) and made a New Year Resolution to simplify my life and purge unnecessary objects from my home. Before The Great 2011 Purge, art materials lived in all areas of our home and I spent countless hours looking for things and making room for objects that had no permanent place. Does this sound like your life? If so, I can't recommend Tsh's book enough.
Digging past my collections, knick-knacks, and countless art materials was exhausting and I knew that if I streamlined my possessions I could be more productive with my time. So I started poking away at corners of my home every week; a shelf of dishes here, a closet there. And it's helped! I've given away unused applianced, weeded out my least favorite books, and I just donated four garbage sized bags of baby clothes to this incredible charity with the unintended consequence of teaching my children the power of helping those in need. I've never stuck with a resolution for an entire year, but this one was so successful that it's seeped into my way-of-life and it'll be easy to carry it forward into the new year.
2012 New Year Resolution
And now, guess what? I'm thinking about my 2012 Resolution.
Working for myself has long appealed to me, and over the past year I've developed a stronger entrepreneurial mindset that I'd like to nurture! I'm an artist at heart, with no real sense of money and lacking in organizational skills (obviously) , so my resolution for 2012 is to foster my entrepreneurial side. I'm starting 2012 off by working and blogging with this awesome new startup, developing curriculum for this creative children's museum, reading this book, and devouring this blog.
I think it's a good start, but to keep it going for the year, my plan is to read inspirational books and magazines like this, streamline my blog to make it more engaging and accesible (a newsletter and revamped archives are in the works), and remain open to opportunities that are a good fit with my my personal and professional goals. Now that I see it all written in front of me, it seems a bit daunting, but I have to remember that a year is a long time and baby steps will get me there. Just like they did last year.
In light of all this, because I'm a mom-to-my-kids first I have to remember that I can only take on so much. In my search for balance between motherhood and personal ambition I've had a few meltdown moments that I hope will shine brightly in my mind's eye as a warning of what can happen if I bite off more than I can chew. These colorful pictures of a happy snowflake-making afternoon are here to remind me that my primary goal is to hold on to my core beliefs as an arts educator and mom who wants to raise her children to be creative souls and independent thinkers.

(AP) — Search crews have temporarily suspended their search for four men who are presumed dead after their speedboat capsized on a Folsom Lake Saturday afternoon.
California parks department spokeswoman Vicky Waters said high winds and poor visibility forced the dive teams that had been scouring Folsom Lake on Sunday to stop looking for the men, who have not been seen since their boat overturned on Saturday afternoon.
Waters says the search will resume on Monday and is considered a recovery operation instead of a rescue at this point.
Investigators are trying to determine why the 35- to 40-foot vessel capsized. Waters says the accident happened in a part of the man-made lake dotted with small islands and where the water's depth is much shallower.
The men have been identified as 54-year-old Toby Strauch, 47-year-old James Strauch, 53-year-old Jake Jacobs and 48-year-old Jon Smith, all from the Sacramento area.

In Videos: Pizza Etang Commercial with Mr. Tyfoon; The Global Mashup
This video features South Korean rapper Mr. Tyfoon appearing in a commercial for the Asian pizza chain Pizza Etang, where he combines West Coast gangsta rap flair with Konglish, a mashup of Korean and English. Here's the Wikipedia definition of Konglish: "The words, having initially been taken from English language, are either actual English words in Korean context, or are made from a combination of Korean and English words."
It may sound incredibly similar to English, but it's decidedly not. Context helped, but still, my mind reeled, trying to keep up but only recognizing a word or two; I felt like I had a broken Babel Fish in my ear. Mr. Tyfoon's unique, contemporary speaking style is so new and radically different from traditional Korean that even my native Korean friends living in the U.S. couldn't figure it out.
As far as South Korean pizza commercials go, it's got a pretty straightforward narrative: Pizzas are ordered, the delivery guys flirt with a woman (Mr. Tyfoon himself in drag, no less), the pizza is delivered, and a promotion is mentioned. But underneath, the language complexities go so much deeper.
After the jump, the video, and more pontificating.
Pizza Etang Commercial, featuring Mr. Tyfoon
The Global Mashup
In South Korea, the adoption and emulation of American popular culture is not a new phenomenon, but what's happening here involves layers upon layers of mashup: a Korean musical artist who adopts Kongrish along with a West Coast gangsta rap style, cross-dressing in a slapstick commercial with comic book elements, promoting a South Korean chain pizza with octopus on it. Catch all that? Nevermind the fact that pizza alone is conceptually a historical mashup—this 30-second video represents a mashup on a truly global level, in terms of language, food, clothes, culture, gender definitions, and music.
Cross-Dressing as a Comedic Element
Apparently, cross-dressing is a pretty common comedic device in Asia, particularly in South Korea and Japan. The feminizing of the masculine is a common comedic device anywhere, across history, but Mr. Tyfoon in drag represents an interesting twist. In American gangsta rapper culture, sheer masculinity carries a lot of weight. Even though Mr. Tyfoon has adopted the West Coast gangsta style, he reincorporates his own cultural comedic values into the mix, in an unwitting defiance of, and ultimate break from, the original's gender definitions. Which makes it all a lot funnier.
Information on Mr. Tyfoon
I could find very little about Mr. Tyfoon online, so any information readers can share would be highly appreciated. I found a strange promotional video, a live performance, and the cover of his album with track listing, but that's about it.

현대상선 우선주 발행 늘리기 무산
March 26, 2011
Hyundai Group narrowly lost its proposal yesterday to issue more preferred shares in an effort to increase its managerial control over Hyundai Merchant Marine, the group's flagship company.
The vote underscored a growing feud between Hyundai Group and other companies formerly associated with the Hyundai conglomerate before it was split up a decade ago.
Hyundai Group has feared that rival factions headed by Hyundai Heavy Industries and Hyundai Motor Group might be preparing an attempt to battle for control of Hyundai Merchant, which could eventually led to a takeover of Hyundai Group.
Hyundai Group had proposed increasing the ceiling on the issuance of preferred shares by Hyundai Merchant to 80 million shares from the current 20 million shares, which would have increased its voting rights over the nation's No. 2 shipping company.
Hyundai Group needed two-thirds approval among Hyundai Merchant shareholders for the share proposal, but gained 64.95 percent support, just 1.7 percent short of approval.
Hyundai Heavy Industries, KCC, Hyundai Department Store and Hyundai Development Company voted against the proposal, while Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance abstained.
The proposal had appeared headed for approval earlier, when Hyundai Development pledged its support. Then Hyundai Development suddenly switched sides on Thursday, saying it would oppose the plan.
Hyundai Heavy and its affiliate Hyundai Samho Heavy Industries, which led the opposition, own a combined 23.8 percent in Hyundai Merchant. Hyundai Group and its allies own about 43 percent of Hyundai Merchant.
Hyundai Group said the vote revealed that Hyundai Heavy and its allies "showed their desire to take over Hyundai Merchant's management rights."
Hyundai Group is also demanding that Hyundai Motor give up a 7.8 percent stake in Hyundai Merchant it recently acquired as part of its takeover of Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Hyundai Group made an unsuccessful bid for the Hyundai E&C stake in effort to place the stake under its control.

Music in the Mountains will have new leadership on its board of directors and executive staff when the 27th season opens next summer.
John Anderson will succeed Terry Bacon, whose term ended Sept. 30, as president of the board. Anderson was most recently the board's co-chairman of the development committee. Bacon will continue to serve as past president. Mary Barter, former superintendent of schools for Durango School District 9-R, has been named president-elect.
As his first official duty, Anderson announced the promotion of Angie Beach from assistant executive director to executive director of music in the Mountains. Beach will succeed Annie Simonson, who is relocating to Austin, Texas.
"This is truly one of the greatest opportunities I can imagine," Beach said in a statement released by the board. "I hope to bring a renewed spirit of collaboration with other local arts organizations and an increased focus on the many wonderful education programs that Music in the Mountains offers in the community."
Anderson was the former president and CEO of New American Schools, a nonprofit, bipartisan, public-private partnership that creates new educational designs for public schools. He spent much of his career with IBM, where he served as assistant to the chairman of the board and CEO in Armonk, N.Y. He also held numerous marketing and executive positions for the company in Texas, California and Connecticut, and he served as director of Governmental Programs for Education in Washington, D.C.
Anderson is a graduate of Leadership La Plata, the Professional Associates of Fort Lewis College, Board of Directors of Community Foundation of Southwest Colorado and the Advisory Board of Durango Arts Center. He is a former Durango Chamber of Commerce Volunteer of the Year and is a member of the adult ski school staff of Purgatory at Durango Mountain Resort.
Beach received her marketing degree from Fort Lewis College. Before joining Music in the Mountains, she served as vice president, director of Marketing at Bank of the San Juans. She is involved with La Plata County Economic Development Alliance, Women's Resource Center, Durango High Noon Rotary Club and Sexual Assault Services Organization.
The 27th season of Music in the Mountains will run from July 8 through July 28.

Recently I have been adding more and more functionality into emacs using comint. And as there are more and better perl libraries for hooking into other systems (such as DBI, SOAP, HTTP…), I often start with a script that reads commands from stdin and writes the result to stdout. That is the comint way.
use strict; use warnings; use 5.010; init(); # -- some initialization that takes a while # ... while (defined(my $command = <STDIN>)) { chomp $command; given (lc($command)) { when (/^\s*exit\s*$/) { exit 0; } when (/^\s*send\s*$/) { say 'send' } when (/^\s*receive\s*$/) { say 'receive' } default { say "Error: unrecognized command $command"; } } }
If initialisation takes a long time, it is a big saving to only do it once for many commands.
As emacs has full control over the process, I can control what gets sent and filter what is received before display. However, I prefer to be a little bit flexible with what the perl process receives for when I am testing it from the command line. That is why I allow surrounding spaces.
when (/^\s*exit\s*$/) { ... } when (/^\s*send\s*$/) { ... } when (/^\s*receive\s*$/) { ... }
Those matching regexes look pretty similar. I almost feel like I'm violating DRY.
Unfortunately, the subroutine references only take a single parameter.
sub cexit { return $_[0] =~ /^\s*exit\s*$/ } sub csend { return $_[0] =~ /^\s*send\s*$/ } sub creceive { return $_[0] =~ /^\s*receive\s*$/ } # ... when (\&cexit) { exit 0; } when (\&csend) { say 'send' } when (\&creceive) { say 'receive' }
But there is a way of storing data along with a subroutine – a closure. However, the following strangely doesn't work.
sub match_command { my $command = shift; return sub { my $input = shift; say "Input is [$input]"; return $input =~ /^\s*$command\s*$/; } } while (defined(my $command = <STDIN>)) { chomp $command; given (lc($command)) { when (match_command('send')) { say 'send' } when (match_command('exit')) { exit 0; } when (match_command('receive')) { say 'receive' } default { say "Error: unrecognized command $command"; } } }
Whereas storing the closures in a variable before smart matching does work. Unfortunately it looks like smart matching isn't smart enough for my needs.
my $send = match_command('send'); my $exit = match_command('exit'); my $receive = match_command('receive'); # ... when ($send) { say 'send' } when ($exit) { exit 0; } when ($receive) { say 'receive' }
And the result:
c:\home\juang>perl t.pl send Input is [send] send exit Input is [exit]

PRATT — The 2010 Kansas firearm deer season runs Wednesday, Dec. 1, through Sunday, Dec. 12, and hunters are sighting in their rifles and practicing their shooting skills in anticipation of one of the state's favorite hunting seasons. Deer are plentiful, and a good season is expected.
In 2009, KDWP issued more than 80,000 Any-Season White-tailed Either-Sex Deer permits Kansas to residents. In addition, more than 27,000 Nonresident White-tailed Either-Sex Deer permits were issued. Combined with the number of Antlerless-Only Deer game tags issued, more than 174,000 permits and game tags to take deer were issued in Kansas last year, and hunters took approximately 87,000 deer. Kansas firearms deer hunters enjoy a phenomenal success rate of more than 50 percent, and a similar harvest is expected this year.
All deer hunters must have a deer permit to hunt deer in Kansas. Resident hunters 16 to 65 years old must also possess a hunting license, unless exempt by law. Nonresident hunters must apply for a nonresident deer permit in April, and the drawing is held in May. A nonresident hunting license is also required. Hunters must purchase a permit that allows the harvest of an antlered deer before they can purchase a Antlerless-Only White-tailed Deer permit, until after Dec. 30.
Other upcoming deer seasons include a Jan. 1-9, 2011, Extended Firearm Season (antlerless whitetails only) open statewide; a Jan. 10-31 Extended Archery Season (Unit 19, antlerless whitetails only); and a Jan. 10-16 Special Extended Firearm Season (units 7, 8, and 15, antlerless whitetails only). Archery season runs through Dec. 31 (hunter orange required during firearms season).
Resident whitetail deer permits are available online or at license vendors throughout the state. Hunters are reminded that landowner permission is required to hunt any private land, whether that land is posted or not.
The first Kansas deer season in modern times was held in 1965, and less than half of the state was open. Biologists estimated state deer numbers at about 30,000. Thirty-nine hundred permits were issued, and firearms hunters took approximately 1,340 deer. Today, deer can be found throughout the state. Many upland bird hunters are afield at this time, as well, and while they are always urged to wear hunter orange, it is especially important at this time.

These smoked red jalapeños add pizzaz to almost anything grilled.
Fold minced chipotles into your burger mixture, form patties and grill. Top the burgers with melted jack cheese, sliced avocados, and a little cilantro. If you want even more heat, double down and add strips of roasted poblano chilies.
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/3 cup grated onion
- 2-4 chipotle peppers (from a can of chipotle chili peppers in adobo), depending on how much chile heat you like, minced, plus 1 Tbsp of the adobo sauce
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 6 hamburger buns
- 6 slices jack cheese
- 2 avocados, sliced
- Chipotle hot sauce to taste (we use Tabasco brand)
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish
- 2 poblano chile peppers, roasted, seeded, peeled and sliced (optional)*
* Optional step for roasted poblanos. Coat the poblanos with a little oil and grill or broil them until they are blackened on all sides. Alternatively, you can take the plain, un-oiled peppers and place them directly on a gas stovetop burner, turning them as needed, until they are blackened on all sides. Place the blackened peppers in a covered bowl for 15 minutes or so to steam. Peel off the charred skin and remove all the seeds. Slice into thick ribbons and toss with a little vegetable oil and salt and set aside.
1 Make the chipotle burger mix: Mix the ground beef, grated onion, minced chipotles, the adobo sauce, salt, cumin and black pepper together in a large bowl. Mix gently, just until the ingredients are combined. Do not over-mix or the burgers will be tough.
2 Form the burger patties: Form 4-6 patties from the burger mix, about 1/4 pound to 1/3 pound each.
Tip: form the patties with a little indentation in the center and as they cook the patties won't bulge as much in the center.
3 Grill the chipotle burgers: Grill the burgers over medium-high heat (with the grill lid down) until done, about 6-7 minutes per side, depending on how hot your grill is. Cook until the internal temperature is 140°F for medium rare, or 160°F for well done.
When the burgers are almost ready, place a slice of jack cheese on each patty and close the grill lid. The cheese should melt in a little over a minute.
4 Grill the buns: If you want toasted burger buns with your burgers, toast them after you've flipped the burgers. Watch that the buns don't burn; when they are lightly toasted move them to a tray near the grill.
5 Serve: When the burgers are ready, place them on the buns. Top with slices of avocado, then some of the roasted poblanos (if using) a little cilantro and hot sauce.

AllofMP3 Gets Shutdown, Reborn
Remember AllofMP3, the loophole-happy discount music site that played a large part in keeping Russia out of the World Trade Organization? Well, after a lot of talk, Russian authorities finally managed to quash the site, earlier this week. Victories, in the fast-paced world of Russian musical piracy, however, are short lived.
AllofMP3's more recently launched sister site, the familiarly named AllTunes beta has announced, via its homepage, that users possessing one of AllofMP3's six million accounts, will be able to transfer their existing balance to the new site, giving them access to the 778,861 deeply discounted albums (around $1-1.50 a piece). According to an "anonymous user" quoted by Computerworld, everything is hunky-dory, in terms of downloading.
AllTunes has posted a Russian copyright protection statement on its Terms of Use page, that's eerily familiar to the one issued by its predecessor, and we all know how well that worked out for them.

Nashville Pros
Many people learn in hindsight that even life's most difficult challenges can shape their future in a positive way. Songwriter Jenn Bostic '08 is among them. In Bostic's childhood home in Waconia, MN, her parents instilled in their children a strong work ethic, and her father, an amateur musician, inspired a passion for music. But when Bostic was just 10 years old, her father died tragically in an automobile accident that she survived. Nevertheless, her father's influence lives on in her life and music.
The first song she wrote was about her father. She has always felt a connection to him through her music. Her best-known song, "Jealous of the Angels," which she cowrote with Jimmy Fortune and Zach Runquist in 2011, deals with her father's passing. It has struck an emotional chord with listeners in the United Kingdom and the United States and given her career traction.
Bostic arrived at Berklee in 2004 to study music education. She took only a single songwriting course during her Berklee years and learned how to write by studying the songs she sang with a Boston cover band. Her Berklee experience included three visits to Nashville for the annual Berklee Spring Break trip and two performances in Singers Showcase concerts. Even though her heart continued to beat for music education, Bostic—a woman of strong faith—felt called to see where life as a performing songwriter would lead her. After graduation, she moved to Nashville and made her first record. Her good friend, Charlie Hutto '06, then interning at Reba McEntire's Starstruck Entertainment, offered to produce the project.
Bostic's faith and relentless work ethic enabled her to take chances when others might have hesitated. "I'm still scared at certain opportunities," she admits, "but I've learned to try to visualize my goals, take things step by step, and work as hard as I can to follow through." After finishing her first record, Bostic and Caitlin Nichol-Thomas '08 embarked on a three-week coffeehouse tour that took them from Nashville to Minnesota and back. They barely broke even, but most important, the trip offered Bostic validation about her career choice.
Further validation came when she won the "We Are Listening" songwriting contest. One of the contest judges—Jay Frank (former VP of strategic marketing at Country Music Television)— became her mentor and publisher. He flew her to Los Angeles to record her song "Jealous of the Angels," her first song that would prove to be the catalyst for things to come.
Bostic's video for the song made it into the hands of Simon Bates, formerly of Smooth Radio in the United Kingdom, where it quickly became a fan favorite. Listeners began sending in stories from their own lives relating to the song. Momentum built, and Bostic was invited to appear on the British morning show BBC Breakfast. On the day of her appearance, "Jealous of the Angels" hit number one on the UK Singer/Songwriter chart, paving the way for additional single releases and headlining tours there in 2013.
Bostic continues to cultivate her career in the United Kingdom and stateside. She has been a featured performer at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry five times to date and is currently working on a new album with producers in Nashville, Los Angeles, and London. She describes herself as a dream chaser. With her talent, faith, and drive, it seems she has yet to meet a dream she can't chase down.

State Education Commissioner John King wrote to schools Thursday asking for...
State Education Commissioner John King wrote to schools Thursday asking for participation in a statewide moment-of-silence for the Connecticut school shooting victims.
King said in the email that the Education Department has been invited to join with Connecticut schools in a day of remembrance Friday, one week after a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Suspect Adam Lanza, 20, allegedly killed 26 people at the school, including 20 children. He also killed his mother and himself.
The day of remembrance will begin with a moment of silence at 9:30 a.m., around the time when the massacre began.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy contacted every governor in the country, asking them to participate in a national moment of silence, according to the education department.
"This tragedy weighs heavy on our nation and even heavier in our classrooms," King wrote in the email. "I hope you'll encourage principals, teachers, staff and students to observe a moment of silence tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. to honor those lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to all the families of Newtown, Connecticut."

I want to show that each power of a prime ideal is a primary ideal or I have to think about a counterexample?
4$\begingroup$ The wikipedia page mentioned in the question contains a counterexample. $\endgroup$ – lhf Dec 22 '11 at 15:27
Just to clear this from the list of unanswered questions, here's a fleshed-out version of the counterexample on Wikipedia:
Consider the ideal $P=(x,z)$ in $k[x,y,z]/(xy-z^2)$. I will denote equivalence of elements in this ring by $\equiv$ and equivalence in the ring $k[x,y,z]$ by $=$. $P$ is prime, since $$\frac{k[x,y,z]/(xy-z^2)}{(x,z)}\cong \frac{k[x,y,z]}{(x,z,xy-z^2)}\cong k[y]$$ is an integral domain. However, $P^2=(x^2,xz,z^2)$ contains $xy\equiv z^2$ but does not contain $x$, as if $$x=fx^2+gxz+hz^2+p(xy-z^2)$$ then setting $x=0$ shows that $h-p=qx$ so $$x=fx^2+gxz+pxy+qxz^2=(fx+gz+py+qxz)x\implies fx+gz+py+qxz=1$$ which can be see to be impossible by evaluating at $x=y=z=0$. It also does not contain $y^n$ for any $n$, as if $$y^n=fx^2+gxz+hz^2+p(xy-z^2)$$ then setting $x=z=0$ gives a contradiction. Thus $P^2$ is a power of a prime which is not primary.

Cinnabon Employee Admits to Lying About Armed Robbery at Columbia Center Mall
We were all shocked over the weekend by the news of an armed robbery at the Cinnabon in Columbia Center Mall in Kennewick. What a brazen crime for our community at such a beloved business!
Turns out it was all FAKE!
The employee stole the money she was taking to the bank last Friday afternoon. She tied herself up and invented the story of armed robbery.
She confessed to police recently and we're all back to having safe, warm thoughts about a gooey Cinnabon in the mall.

By Andrew Linzey
Oxford University Press
224 pages; $29.95
The very title of Andrew Linzey's book is likely to evoke an emotional response, but Why Animal Suffering Matters makes a rational, ethics-based case for treating animals humanely. With well-supported arguments, it debunks the twin ideas that emotion is all there is to support the proposition that animal suffering is wrong, and that there are "no rational grounds for objecting to our current treatment of animals."
The author juxtaposes "differences" and "morally relevant" differences, and examines those between animals and humans that humans use to justify exploiting animals. He doesn't deny that differences exist, but he demonstrates that "the moral conclusions drawn from [them] are almost entirely mistaken....The differences so often regarded as the basis for discriminating against animals are…the grounds for discriminating in favour of them."
At the end of the book, Linzey summarizes his position trenchantly: "...the world would be a better...place if we worked on the assumption that the infliction of suffering on all sentient beings, both human and animal, should be regarded as morally unacceptable and proscribed by law. We need to reject the institutionalization of animal suffering." To his adherents, Linzey has provided the tools for making this case on moral, ethical and rational, rather than emotional, grounds. To his opponents - and society at large - he has given the opportunity to reconsider their treatment of animals and the rational basis for changing their behavior.

POTISKUM, Nigeria (AP) — North Korean doctors hacked to death by machete-wielding attackers. Women vaccinating children against polio gunned down in the street. A top Islamic cleric, whose predecessors once served as ultimate rulers in the region, nearly killed in an ambush.
These recent attacks in northern Nigeria show the changing tactics of Islamic extremists here and continuing dangers facing Africa's most populous nation, despite a buildup of soldiers and police officers, door-to-door searches by security forces and mass arrests. As the killings continue, analysts believe the fighters, likely part of the amorphous Islamic sect known as Boko Haram, slip easily in and out of Nigeria to launch attacks — putting other West African nations at risk.
"It means Nigeria's problem will become another country's problem, such as Mali, Cameroon or Niger, or smaller countries like Guinea, Burkina Faso and Senegal," wrote analyst Jacob Zenn in a January publication by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. "Like northern Nigeria, these countries have majority Muslim populations, artificial borders, ethnic conflicts, insufficient educational and career opportunities for youths and fragile democratic institutions."
On Sunday, officials found the corpses of three North Korean doctors in Potiskum, a town in Nigeria's Yobe state, about 500 kilometers (300 miles) northeast of the nation's central capital, Abuja. Two had their throats slit, while one had been beheaded by attackers, according to an Associated Press journalist who saw the corpses at a local hospital.
Those killings came quickly after gunmen shot dead at least nine female polio vaccinators Friday in Kano, the most populous city of Nigeria's predominantly Muslim north. A previous attack on a polio clinic in October in the city killed two police officers on guard there and highlighted the continuing suspicion some in the north have regarding the vaccines. A 2003 polio outbreak in Nigeria's north that spread across the world started from Islamic leaders claiming the vaccine would sterilize young Muslim girls — rumors that persist today in a nation that is one of three in the world where the virus remains endemic.
Despite a promise by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan that the government would protect health workers after Friday's shooting, attackers killed the North Koreans and apparently slipped away undetected Saturday night. That led to questions Monday among residents of Potiskum who wondered how safe they are, despite a dusk-till-dawn curfew in the town and soldiers on manning checkpoints there.
"It is really unfortunate this is occurring in an area with a full military and police operation," resident Abdullahi Usman said.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned the killings of the doctors and health workers who "were working selflessly to provide basic life-saving interventions to the most vulnerable people," U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said.
The U.N. chief said these acts of "outrageous violence" are unacceptable and could have devastating effects in the fight to improve the health of people everywhere, he said.
"The secretary-general encourages all countries to protect health workers so that they can continue to better the health of populations and save lives," Nesirky said.
Yobe state spokesman Abdullahi Bego offered condolences for the dead, who were part of a technical exchange program between the state and North Korea. There are a dozen other North Korean doctors in the state, as well as engineers, according to officials.
"The Yobe state government will offer every possible support to the security agencies to track and prosecute the perpetrators of this criminal and condemnable act," Bego said in a statement. "The state government will also continue to partner the security agencies to ensure the safety of people's life and property."
There was no comment Monday from North Korea's government. Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency also had yet to report on the three doctors' deaths.
While no group has claimed responsibility for the attacks on the health workers, suspicion immediately fell on Boko Haram, whose name means "Western education is sacrilege" in the Hausa language of northern Nigeria. The group has waged an increasingly bloody guerrilla campaign of shootings and bombings for the last year and a half. In 2012 alone, the group was blamed for killing at least 792 people, according to an AP count.
Boko Haram, which once routinely claimed its attacks, has gone largely silent, starting speculation that the sect has split into smaller groups operating independently. That makes it increasingly difficult to know who is launching assaults in the north, like the January attack on the Emir of Kano Ado Bayero. At least three people died in the shooting and Bayero, who suffered injuries in the attack, has since left Nigeria for London with family members.
The shooting shocked Muslims in the country, as the emir once ruled the caliphate governing the region and is still looked upon as a spiritual leader. It also signaled no one was beyond the extremists' violence that is sweeping across the north, as attackers have begun picking softer targets for their assaults, not just military and police.
Despite the crackdown by Nigerian security forces, it appears attackers are routinely crossing Nigeria's borders to surrounding nations to train and regroup, analysts say. Some suspected Boko Haram fighters were seen even in Mali when Islamic fighters held its north, sparking the current French military deployment to the West African nation. That indicates Boko Haram has access to international training, weapons and finance, making the group an even greater and sustained threat to the region.
"Boko Haram's connections to militants in northern Mali, the Sahel and elsewhere in the Muslim world enable it to receive and provide support to other Islamist militias," wrote terrorism analyst Zenn. "As a result, Boko Haram will be capable of surviving outside of its main base of operations ... if the Nigerian security forces drive out key leaders from Nigeria."

Preparing the next generation: announcing the Butler-Williams Scholars Program
Why a summer program?
Since 1986, the NIA has hosted a training institute every summer. Applying is a competitive process, and not everyone can attend. But once they get here, the informal, yet serious, environment—allowing new researchers to spend some time away from stresses of their pressure-packed academic homes—provides a special place for these top notch "new" scientists to explore the path to a successful research career.
The week-long program includes lectures, seminars, and small-group informal discussions. Conversations focus on the design of studies related to aging research across the spectrum—from basic biology to neuroscience, behavioral and social science, and clinical geriatrics and gerontology. The program is sponsored by the NIA Office of Special Populations.
Photo: 2013 Scholars and NIA staff at the NIH last week.
The NIA summer training program builds the pipeline for the future biomedical research workforce. It provides early to mid-career scientists with a unique opportunity to interact with leaders in the field of aging and learn from them how to design strong projects and put together competitive grant applications. Yes, the focus is on the science, but the training does a lot more. It also gives participants a chance to talk about some of the challenges associated with being a professional scientist, for example, sharing tips for finding work-life balance.
The NIA Summer Institute on Aging was truly an outstanding training experience… I enjoyed the whole process, but the interactive sections, like the mock study session… were particularly helpful... The feedback I received will greatly help to steer the direction of my work at this critical juncture of my project and overall career.
- Massimiliano Cerletti
Researchers with an interest in health disparities research often attend, as well as those from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, people with disabilities, women, and other groups underrepresented in biomedical research. Listen to attendees and NIA staff (including me!) describe the program in the Summer Institute overview video. We usually bring 30 to 35 attendees from a range of backgrounds to the NIH for the program.
Why are we renaming the program?
Starting this year, the Summer Institute has a new name, the Butler-Williams Scholars Program.
Drs. Robert Butler and T. Franklin Williams were the first two NIA directors. Dr. Butler's visionary leadership enabled all the programs that are now in place. Dr. Williams established the Summer Institute, recognizing the importance of cultivating scientists and ideas. Both cared passionately about the future pipeline of researchers in aging, and were devoted to assuring a diverse scientific workforce.
Both of these pioneers recently passed away, and we felt it fitting to rename the Summer Institute in their honor. The new title—the Butler-Williams Scholars Program—conveys our expectation that graduates of the program will follow in the footsteps of Drs. Butler and Williams. We hope that participants will follow these giants of the field, becoming leaders in aging research and advocates for the promise and opportunities that a long and well-lived life can bring.
The summer training is just the beginning of attendees' ongoing engagement with the NIA and the NIH, and the new name, we hope, will help reinforce that relationship. For example, last year's participants remain in contact, and we envision the Butler-Williams Scholars will do the same, informally and at NIA-sponsored symposia at aging research meetings.
Butler-Williams Scholars Program successes
The Summer Institute was an unprecedented opportunity to meet leaders in aging research… Despite initial feelings of intimidation when talking to the best of the best about their research and then talking to them about my own research interests, the atmosphere of camaraderie and willingness to encourage was energizing.
- Allison Burfield
Working with summer Scholars is one of the favorite parts of my job. I really enjoy teaching and mentoring these bright, engaged—and engaging!—scientists, who have very promising careers ahead of them. The amount of money the NIA spends on this program is small compared to its benefit. You can see the enthusiasm for yourself in videos of the participants.
In a recent review of the Summer Institute, we found that scientists who participate in the NIA summer program go on to successful careers in research on aging, obtaining independent NIH funding at a higher rate than the average for NIH applicants. Many also go on to significant leadership roles—for example, one of the current NIA Advisory Council members is a summer program graduate; another is the recent head of the Indian Health Service.
How can you or your trainees attend?
Applications are accepted starting in March, for attendance later that calendar year. Application guidelines for 2014 have not been released, but you can read the application guidelines from 2013. Requirements for 2014 are likely to be similar. (Editor's Note, 11/18/2013: The 2014 application is now available.)
Have you attended the NIA summer training institute? If so, what did you think of it? Or, do you have other questions about the Scholars Program? Let me know by submitting a comment below.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Head coach Steve Payne will rollout his second edition of Tennessee Tech men's basketball Saturday night, when the Golden Eagles open the 2012-13 season by hosting NCCAA opponent Crowley's Ridge in the second part of a doubleheader.
Tennessee Tech (0-0, 0-0) vs. Crowley's Ridge (1-2,
Saturday, Nov. 10, 2012
8 p.m. CT
Eblen Center- Cookeville, Tenn.
The Broadcasts
TV: none
Radio: Fox Sports Radio, 106.1 The Eagle (Roger Ealey)
Webcast: OVC Digital Network (Brandon Goodwin)
Setting the Stage
The Golden Eagles will open the 2012-13 season in the second half of a double-header when it welcomes Crowley's Ridge to the Eblen Center in Cookeville, Tenn.
Saturday's game will Tech's annual First Tennessee Bank's Poster night. Every fan in attendance will receive a free schedule poster. Players from both the men's and women's teams will be available post-game for autographs.
Fresh Faces
Head Coach Steve Payne is back for his second season at the helm for the Golden Eagles following a solid first-year campaign. The 2011-12 squad finished 19-14, won the iBN Sports Las Vegas Classic, and earned two all-OVC first-team honors.
Many of the faces Golden Eagle fans knew and loved from last year are gone. The team's leading scorer, Kevin Murphy, graduated and was drafted in the second round of the NBA draft by the Utah Jazz. Ohio Valley Conference assists and steals leader Zac Swansey graduated, as did seven-footer Liam McMorrow, who was taken by the Iowa Energy in the NBA D-League draft.
Also among the departed for the Golden Eagles include four-time team defensive player of the year Zach Bailey, leading blocker Bassey Inameti, four-year role player Riley Hunley, John Sexton, and Chase Dunn.
With just six players returning from last season's squad, only five of which played last season, Payne needed a deep recruiting class to help keep the Golden Eagles in contention this season. And he did just that, adding two transfers, four true freshman, and two redshirt freshmen to round out the 2012-13 roster.
Among those returnees for the Golden Eagles, none stands out more than preseason all-OVC selection Jud Dillard. The senior guard, who was selected to the all-OVC first team last season, led the conference in rebounding, grabbing just over eight boards a game. He finished second on the team in scoring, recording a little over 17 points per contest. His eight double-doubles led the team and tied for second in the league.
Two other starters return will return for Tech, senior big man Terrell Barnes and junior forward Dennis Ogbe. Barnes started 29 games in 2011-12 and is the lone returning post player for the Golden Eagles. Ogbe nabbed 20 starts last season and will look to make a habit of it again this year.
Junior swingman Matt Marseille returns to the Golden Eagles after sitting out the 2011-12 campaign due to a knee injury. The veteran leader will be looked upon to bounce back and provide some necessary depth both down low and on the wing.
Sophomores Mitchell Hill and Javon McKay round out the returnees for Tech. Hill, a local Cookeville product will look to provide coach Payne with some key minutes down the stretch and use his fantastic work ethic to challenge his teammates to work harder. McKay had a solid freshman season and projects to start early and often for the Golden Eagles out on the wing.
New to the crew this season are transfers Jeremiah Samarrippas and Josiah Moore. Samarrippas, a junior guard from Southern Methodist University, is expected to make an immediate impact at the point guard position after gaining clearance by the NCAA to play this season. He finished fifth in Conference USA last season in both assists (4.2) and assist/turnover ratio (1.8). Moore, who transferred from Nebraska, will sit out the 2012-13 season due to NCAA transfer regulations following one year in the Big 10.
Redshirt freshmen Lanerryl Johnson and Ryon Riggins are ready to go following a year of learning and development. Johnson, a speedy guard from Atlanta, Ga., will prove to be an asset in the backcourt for the Golden Eagles due to his defensive skills and game-changing speed. Riggins adds a 6-9 frame to the mix and will provide some quality minutes in the paint.
The incoming 2012-13 class for the Golden Eagles is a strong one. DeOndre Haynes, a top 150 recruit out of Calera, Ala., will sit out much of the first month due to a foot injury. However, he is expected to make an immediate impact as a back-up point guard and spot-up shooter when he gets healthy.
Anthony Morse, a 6-8 forward from Lawrenceville, Ga. has already made an impact on the coaching staff, projecting as a possible starter this weekend and is expected to provide a strong presence in the frontcourt for the Golden Eagles. He is joined by fellow big man, Eric Weisenbach, a seven-footer out of Dublin, Ohio. Rounding out the 2012-13 roster is freshman Ammanuel Diressa. Diressa, a native of Toronto, Canada, will provide Tech with an immediate three-point threat.

Eating less meat not only makes sense nutritionally -- but environmentally as well. Why? Manufacturing of agricultural chemicals (used to treat grains that animals ingest) accounts for roughly 40 percent of food-production energy. Transporting feed to livestock operations burns up even more fuel. All of this makes meat consumption unhealthy for the planet as well as you. Make meat-free meals with our collection of 30 delicious vegetarian recipes.

The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology received a double dose of excitement last month when not one, but two of its members were honored with Nobel Prizes. The good news began with the announcement that Carol Greider, a professor in the department of molecular biology and genetics at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, received one-third of the 2009 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, becoming one of 10 women to have won a Nobel in the category (and one of 40 overall). Just two days later, ASBMB member Thomas Steitz, the Sterling professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry, a professor of chemistry and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator at Yale University, also received a call from Stockholm informing him that he had been awarded one-third of the 2009 Nobel Prize in chemistry.
Greider, who shared the award with her Ph.D. adviser Elizabeth H. Blackburn (currently a professor at the University of California, San Francisco) and Harvard University professor Jack W. Szostak, was awarded the Nobel for her groundbreaking discovery — on Christmas Day — of telomerase, the enzyme that preserves the ends of chromosomes (telomeres) during replication cycles. Over the years, Greider's continued work in characterizing telomeres and telomerase has further highlighted the importance of this RNA- and protein-containing enzyme complex in maintaining genetic stability. Today, telomerase has become a hot therapeutic target for cancer, aging and other genetic disorders.
Steitz and his chemistry co-recipients, Venkatraman Ramakrishnan of the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology and Ada E. Yonath of the Weizmann Institute of Science, received the honor for their pioneering studies on a key cellular component and therapeutic drug target: the ribosome. The three scientists did what many thought was unfeasible, solving the three-dimensional structure of the organelle (which, like telomerase, contains both RNA and protein components) responsible for translating mRNA templates into functioning proteins. As the ribosome is a primary target for antibiotics, the elucidation of its structure has been instrumental in developing new drugs to combat the ever-growing strains of resistant bacteria.
ASBMB President Gregory A. Petsko was thrilled at the news, and not just because the committee honored outstanding fundamental research driven by pure scientific curiosity. "I can't think of a prize in recent years that has delighted me more [than the 2009 physiology or medicine]," he said. "Two women, one of whom was the student of the other when the key work was done: This one sends all the right messages."
A structural biologist himself, Petsko said he also was extremely pleased with the chemistry announcement: "It's wonderful that the Nobel Committee honored the structure determination of the ribosome. As a window into one of the most important processes in all living cells, this atomic-resolution picture of the machinery that carries out that process is both fascinating and of surpassing beauty."
With the addition of Steitz and Greider, ASBMB now includes 97 Nobel laureates among current and former members.

I had to get some new speakers as my 10 yr old promedia 2.1s finally gave up the ghost . I got some edifer r1280Ts but just not the same . Seeing my sound card has a toslink conector I thought well maybe its time to make use of it . I saw these
But I never used this type of setup so looking for feedback , thoughts .
1) it is worth the extra price ?
2) what if any difference in sound would I notice ?
Or would you just go with the non digital version of these speakers ?
I do a lot of games and music and really enjoy a good sound experience

Say the word pickle and miniature cucumbers almost certainly come to mind. That and boiling pots of water and worries over tight seals and food safety.
Quick-pickling a creative way to stretch the season
Say the word pickle and miniature cucumbers almost certainly come to mind.
That and boiling pots of water and worries over tight seals and food safety.
But there is a more spontaneous and stress-free way: it's called quick-pickling.
Quick-picklers make small batches, just a few jars at a time, of whatever fruits or vegetables are in season at the moment. Because their preserves will be stored in the fridge for only a few weeks, they don't bother with boiling-water baths to vacuum-seal the jars to keep out air, bacteria and mould.
And they don't stick to dill pickles, either. They preserve fruits, too, in both sweet and vinegary brines.
Michelle Marek has found a way to stretch spring and summer by a few weeks by quick pickling. She starts with the first wild leeks of spring, moves on to sour cherries and poblano peppers and then brassicas in fall.
The inventive Montreal chef and co-owner of the St-Laurent Blvd. restaurant Foodlab says quick-pickling isn't as exact a science as conventional pickling, which requires precise proportions of acidity and salt to keep foods from spoiling. It allows more room for creativity. She uses rosé wine vinegar to pickle onions, for instance.
"I make my quick-pickle brines to taste. Usually it's equal parts water and vinegar and half a part sugar for a touch of sweet to balance the sharpness of the vinegar," she said.
Hugh Acheson, the Ottawa-born celebrity chef who is now based in Atlanta, Ga., has just written a book of pickling recipes called Pick a Pickle (Potter Style), which features numerous quick pickles.
"Canning has become something of a lost art that belonged to our grandmothers," Acheson said in a phone interview. "Now it seems to terrify people."
Acheson has a fondness for the dill pickles that were a mainstay of his childhood, but he has also added such Southern favourites as pickled watermelon rind and green tomatoes to his repertoire. And he's constantly experimenting. His Pick a Pickle recipes include pickled turnip stems, pickled blueberries and even pickled green strawberries (the puckery tartness of the unripened berries makes a great garnish for fish dishes, he says.) He also pickles peaches to toss into a salad of frisée lettuce, blue cheese and shaved prosciutto.
Acheson doesn't just experiment with different fruits and vegetables; he also switches up the flavourings, sometimes adding tarragon, cinnamon, star anise or whole cloves, even miso, to his brines.
"It's important not to get entrenched in your old patterns."
Pickled Sour Cherries
Makes 1 quart
This is one of Montreal chef Michelle Marek's favourite quick-pickle recipes. It's her way of holding on to the sweet-tart taste of sour cherries, which are available only for a few short weeks in summer. It's quite simple, with no special equipment required. Marek even pits the cherries by hand. It is great with pork chops, she says.
- 4 cups sour cherries, stemmed and pitted (measured before pitting)
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
Place the pitted cherries in a clean, dry bowl or jar.
Bring the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and spices to a boil and pour over cherries. Let cool, then refrigerate overnight before using.
Here are a few new takes on old-fashioned pickles, taken from Hugh Acheson's swatchbook of pickle recipes called Pick a Pickle (Potter Style):
Spicy Pickled Tomatoes
Makes 2 quarts or 4 pints
This spicy-sweet pickle calls for cherry tomatoes, which are in bountiful supply these days. It goes well with Indian food, or slathered on sandwiches or pizza. It can last up to 10 days in the fridge.
- 3 cups cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 3 shallots, minced
- 4 jalapenos, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- 1 teaspoon yellow mustard seeds, toasted and ground to a paste
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Place the tomatoes in a medium glass or ceramic bowl that can withstand a little heat, and sprinkle them with the salt.
In a large frying pan, bring the olive oil to a shimmer, just below the smoke point, over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and then the jalapenos. Fry until tender, about 2 minutes, and then add the cumin and mustard. Fry for about 1 minutes and remove from the heat. Let cool slightly.
Add the lime juice, vinegar and brown sugar to the shallot mixture and then pour this mixture over the tomatoes. Add the mint and parsley.
Pack the mixture into clean, dry standard quart Mason jars, leaving 1/2 inch of headspace at the top. Cap with the lids and bands and set aside to cool for two hours then refrigerate for up to 7 to 10 days.
Pickled Watermelon Rind
Makes 1 quart
This is a Southern staple. Slice watermelon, then cut the rinds off. Reserve the fruit for another use and then remove the green skin from the rinds and discard. What you are pickling is the whitish section between the skin and the flesh. It is great alongside grilled fish or chopped into a fruit salad.
- 4 cups watermelon rind, green skin removed
- 1 tablespoon pickling salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 5 allspice berries
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 star anise pod
- 1 1/2 cups rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups water
Cut the rind into pieces about one inch wide and 1/4 inch thick and 2 inches long.
Combine salt, sugar, allspice, bay leaf, star anise, rice vinegar and water in a non-reactive pot and bring to a boil. Add watermelon rind, reduce the heat to a low boil and cook for 10 minutes.
Using a canning funnel, pour the rind and the pickling liquid into clean, dry standard quart Mason jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space at the top. Cap with lids and bands, cool for 2 hours and then either refrigerate or process according to the jar manufacturer's instructions.
Refrigerate for up to 10 days or as long as 10 months if processed.
Experimental method: start with a basic brine
Go crazy with the spices and flavourings, even the fruits and vegetables, but stick with one of these basic brines taken from chef Hugh Acheson's book Pick a Pickle (Potter Style).
Once you make the brine, just pour it over the fruit or vegetables and whole spices. If you make the brine ahead of time, keep it refrigerated and then reheat to boiling temperature just before using. First add the washed and chopped or sliced fruit or vegetable to clean, dry jars and then pour the hot brine over them.
Basic White Vinegar Pickling Liquid
Makes 1 quart
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons pickling or kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Combine the vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a small non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring, until all the salt and sugar has dissolved. Cool and set aside until ready to use.
Rice Vinegar Pickling Liquid
Makes 1 quart
This recipe is great for Japanese quick pickles of cucumbers, radishes, bok choy or carrots. Add a two-inch square of kombu, the dried seaweed, for extra depth of flavour.
- 2 cups rice vinegar
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 tablespoons pickling or kosher salt
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Combine the vinegar, water, salt and sugar in a small non-reactive saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer, stirring, until all the salt and sugar has dissolved. Cool and set aside until ready to use.

When the first MS Pill come onto the market there were front news stories, doctor's offices were flooded with questions and the manufacturer's stock price did a healthy spike. This past fall, the FDA approved (and the market will soon see) a second oral medication to help fight multiple sclerosis… but not many are talking about it.
We wondered why.
First, a bit about the drug. The name of the compound in the drug is called Teriflunomide. It is an active metabolite of another drug, Leflunomide, which many people with rheumatoid arthritis have been taking for over a decade. The marketing name of this drug is called "Aubagio" (pronounced oh-BAH-gee-oh which rhymes with that Vegas hotel with the dancing waters).
This new drug has been tolerated well in trials, has similar efficacy as many of the other MS drugs and, while not side-effect free, seems to be on par in most other ways. In an effort to make the drug more affordable (or to encourage insurance companies to push for its use) Aubagio has been price below the injectable class of MS drugs.
Why then has so little buzz been around our community?
I don't think it's the side-effect profile; even though one of these would have pretty serious repercussions for both women and men intending to have children.
As a matter of fact, though the drug was approved last fall and many people first heard of it last week when a video, released by the National MS Society hit the internet.
The last twenty years have seen us go from not treatment at all for our disease to now nine disease modifying drugs. Are there now so many from which to choose (which can only be considered a good thing) that the "news" has gone out of such things? If this is the case, I have to wonder who the bottom-line driven pharmaceutical companies will judge the MS Community's willingness to accept new drugs (and if that will affect their decision making when it comes to funding MS research.
I reach out to our Life With MS Blog community in asking if any of you have been on the clinical trials for Aubigao? How did you feel on the drug? What are your thoughts (whether or not you were on the study) about this drug? Thoughts on the future of MS drugs?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Miller Park serves everything from cupcakes to brisket
Sure, there was a game at Miller Park on Monday, but fans were also focused on the food.
The ballpark's head chef took WISN 12 News' Marianne Lyles inside his kitchens and gave her a peek at the new tasty treats.
It's Executive Chef John Demartini's fourth season at Miller Park, and he said each year, Opening Day is no different.
"Opening Day is pretty crazy," Demartini said.
Five kitchens were busy making food such as healthy fruit cups to the brisket that makes your mouth water.
"People don't just go to watch the game and want a hot dog and a brat. Everybody's taste is evolving. It's a 40,000-seat restaurant is the way we look at it," Demartini said.
Here's what's new, or who is new -- a pastry chef.
"There's very few ballparks from baseball, football, hockey that can say they have a pastry chef on staff," Demartini said.
Even the media eats well, with jambalaya for the journalists, but that's not all.
"On our club level we're offering a black bean and chorizo falafel this year. We're doing a roasted pork sandwich kind of like the Chicago-style Italian beef," Demartini said.
From French fries to cupcakes, a Brewers game is for the baseball fan and the food lover.
"(We offer) smoked pork chopped on the bun, smoked prime rib, smoked mahi mahi tacos," Demartini said.
There are about 100 cooks at Miller Park to help get the food ready for the fans, but on Opening Day because there are private parties, so they bring in extra help from Chicago and Green Bay.
Miller Park's executive chef said the menus will continue to change throughout the season.

Long, slow cooking is the key to these tender, juicy birds, braised in an autumnal mix of apples, cider, and caramelized onion. If pheasant is hard to come by, you can substitute chicken.
- Yield
- Makes 8 servings
- For marinade:
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 5 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, whole
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice (from 1 1/2 oranges)
- 3 tablespoons finely grated orange zest (from 1 1/2 oranges)
- Large pinch kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 (3-pound) pheasants, each rinsed inside and out, patted dry, cut into 6 pieces
- To braise:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 3 large yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- Pinch sugar
- 2 to 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth, plus additional, if necessary
- 2 cups apple cider
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
- For caramelized onions and apples:
- 10 ounces pearl onions, root ends trimmed
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- Pinch kosher salt
- Pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons apple cider
- To serve:
- Fresh tarragon leaves, chopped
- Make marinade:
- In blender, combine olive oil, ginger, tarragon, orange juice, zest, salt, and pepper and purée until smooth. In large bowl, combine marinade and pheasant and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate overnight or up to 48 hours.
- Braise pheasant:
- In very large Dutch oven over moderately high heat, heat olive oil until hot but not smoking. Remove pheasant pieces from marinade, scraping off excess, and sprinkle with salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Working in batches, sear pheasant pieces until well browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to paper towel-lined platter to drain.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Skim off all but 1 tablespoon oil from pan, leaving browned bits at bottom, and set pan over moderately low heat. Add butter and heat until melted. Stir in onions, bay leaf, fennel seeds, salt, remaining 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and sugar. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are well caramelized, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Return pheasant to pot. Add chicken broth, cider, and wine. (Liquid should cover half of pheasant pieces. Add more chicken broth if necessary.) Raise heat to high and bring liquid to simmer. Add apples, cover, and transfer pot to oven. Braise, turning pheasant pieces occasionally, until meat is cooked through and tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Using tongs or slotted spoon, transfer pheasant to platter and cover with foil to keep warm. Set pot over high heat and bring pan juices to boil. Boil, uncovered, until sauce is well reduced and thickened, about 25 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
- While juices are reducing, prepare caramelized onions and apples:
- Bring medium pot of water to boil. Add pearl onions and boil, uncovered, 1 minute. Drain and run under cold water until cool enough to handle; slip off skins.
- In small skillet over moderately high heat, heat oil until hot but not smoking. Add onions, apples, sugar, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Sear, shaking pan occasionally, until onions and apples are dark golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in apple cider, scraping up any browned bits in pan. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until onions are fork tender, about 2 minutes more.
- Serve:
- Spoon some of sauce over pheasant and garnish with onions, apples, and chopped tarragon. Serve additional sauce alongside.

The Crew's loss to Chicago dropped the Black & Gold to sixth-place in the MLS Eastern Conference, while Sporting Kansas City's midweek win in New York propelled Graham Zusi and company into first-place.
Here is how the Eastern Conference looks heading into Week Nine of play in 2013.
1. Sporting Kansas City - 14 pts. - Week Eight: 1-0 Win at New York Red Bulls, 2-0 Loss at LA Galaxy
Aurélien Collin's set piece goal was enough to lift Sporting to first-place with a midweek win at New York, but after a cross-country flight to LA and a match two days later, the defending champion Galaxy proved to be to much for Kansas City on Saturday. Sporting hosts Portland Timbers FC on Saturday.
2. Houston Dynamo - 13 pts. - Week Eight: 1-1 Draw at Toronto FC
Warren Creavalle's 94th-minute equalizer helped Dom Kinnear's side steal a road point in Toronto as it returns to BBVA Compass Stadium to host the Colorado Rapids this week looking to extend its record 35-match home-unbeaten streak.
3. Montreal Impact - 13 pts. - Week Eight: Idle
The Impact were able to relax without a game in Week Eight. The Quebec side returns to action this week, hosting the Chicago Fire.
4. New York Red Bulls - 11 pts. - Week Eight: 1-0 Loss vs. Sporting Kansas City, 4-1 Win vs. New England Revolution
The Red Bulls rebounded from a 1-0 midweek loss to Kansas City and exploded for four goals against the Revolution. Thierry Henry and the Red Bulls seem to be hitting a stride after a rough start to 2013 that saw the team go winless until March 30.
5. Philadelphia Union - 11 pts. - Week Eight: 3-2 Win at D.C. United
Jack McInerney is blossoming into one of the top strikers in MLS as he scored in his third straight match to help the Union over D.C. United. The 20-year-old was named MLS Player of the Week following his brace at D.C. United.
6. Columbus Crew - 9 pts. - Week Eight: 1-0 Loss at Chicago Fire
The Black & Gold looked flat in Chicago over the weekend, but were kept in the game thanks to a stellar performance in net by Andy Gruenebaum. The Crew should rebound with three straight home matches against D.C. United, the New York Red Bulls and the Colorado Rapids coming up.
7. Toronto FC - 7 pts. - Week Eight: 1-1 Draw vs. Houston Dynamo
The Reds played 93 minutes of good soccer before surrendering their one goal lead to the Dynamo to settle for a point. It was Toronto FC's fourth consecutive draw as it prepares to host the New York Red Bulls at BMO Field this week while juggling Canadian Championship (4/24 vs. Montreal) play.
8. Chicago Fire - 7 pts. - Week Eight: 1-0 Win vs. Columbus Crew
The Fire seem to be back on track after dominating the Crew in the second half of Saturday's match. The Men in Red will face a tough test this weekend as they cross the border to face the Montreal Impact.
9. New England Revolution - 5 pts. - Week Eight: 1-0 at New York Red Bulls
A loss to the New York Red Bulls added to an already tough week for New England. The entire Crew organization sends its thoughts to Matt Reis and his family, as his father-in-law recovers from injuries sustained in the Boston Marathon bombings last week.
10. D.C. United - 4 pts. - Week Eight: 3-2 Loss vs. Philadelphia Union
United's losing streak reached four matches as the Black-and-Red lost their third consecutive home match. Ben Olsen's Army travels to Columbus this week, where United hasn't won since 2007.

Seizure-free mom reaches out to children
Nebraska's first camp for children with epilepsy opens
What's on your bucket list? An Omaha woman is working her way through her list of life goals with some major accomplishments.
No. 1 on her list: End the seizures coming from scar tissue on her brain, caused by a car crash when she was a teenager.
"Seizure-free for a year, for the first time," said 29-year-old Meg Busing with a smile.
Busing went through epilepsy brain surgery last spring at the Nebraska Medical Center, ending a decade of debilitating seizures.
KETV NewsWatch 7 followed Busing through surgery, going inside the operating room where surgeons isolated the area of Busing's brain causing the seizures.
Busing started having seizures in college. As she got older, the seizures became more frequent and doctors could not control them with medication.
"It's been a miraculous change. Her quality of life is so much better," said Kael Busing, Meg's husband, a school counselor.
Now that the wife, mother and registered nurse is free of seizures, she's moving on to her next goal.
"I wanted to start camp for kids with epilepsy. I think kids need to meet other kids going through the same trials of other kids with epilepsy," she said.
Despite living with seizures, for years Meg has worked as a volunteer counselor at a camp for children with cancer. It's that positive camp experience that's prompting her to offer Nebraska's first epilepsy camp for children.
Busing and her husband are working with the nonprofit organization, Lifestyle Innovations For Epilepsy, to offer Camp You Can, a one-day camp for children ages seven to 20, diagnosed with epilepsy. LIFE offers support and information to families living with an epilepsy diagnosis.
"Kids with epilepsy can sometimes feel isolated and not able to do what 'normal' kids can do, " said Kael.
Campers will enjoy a day of story sharing, boating, archery, games and art. Campers can also try the ropes course at the YMCA's Camp Kitaki. The camp takes place on Saturday, Sept. 8, from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Families are invited to join their camper for a campfire dinner in the evening.
Each camper will be under the watchful guidance of a counselor or nurse trained to deal with seizure care and medication.
"It'll be a day that makes them feel special, knowing that they're important and they have something in common with another kid," said Meg.
The cost of camp is $35, which includes lunch, snacks and take-home art projects. For more information or to register, visit www.epilepsylife.com, or contact Meg and Kael Busing at email@example.com.
You can also call 402-210-3121 or 402-770-3936.
LIFE is hosting the Nebraska Walk for Epilepsy on August 12, at Shadow Lake Town Centre. To register, go to www.nebraskaepilepsywalk.com.
