Einstein's luck: the truth behind some of the greatest scientific discoveries
Oxford University Press, 2002 - Fiction - 308 pages
As John Waller shows in Einstein's Luck, many of our greatest scientists were less than honest about their experimental data. Some were not above using friends in high places to help get their ideas accepted. And some owe their immortality not to any unique discovery but to a combination of astonishing effrontery and their skills as self-promoters. Here is a catalog of myths debunked and icons shattered. We discover that Louis Pasteur was not above suppressing "awkward" data when it didn't support the case he was making. Joseph Lister, hailed as the father of modern surgery because he advocated sanitary conditions, was just one of many physicians who advocated cleaner hospitals--and in fact, Lister's operating room and hospital was far more unsanitary than most. We also learn that Arthur Eddington's famous experiment that "proved" Einstein's theory of relativity was fudged (Eddington threw out two-thirds of his data, 16 photographic plates that seemed to support Newton over Einstein). And while it is true that Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin by lucky accident, he played almost no role in the years of effort to convert penicillin into a usable drug. But once the miracle drug was finally available, the press hailed him as the genius behind the drug, in part because his story made good copy and in part because war-torn Britain needed a hero (and the other researchers were not British). Einstein's Luck restores to science its complex personalities, bitter rivalries, and intense human dramas which until recently have been hidden behind myths and misconceptions. This richly entertaining book will transform the way we think about science and scientists.

Jubilant FoodWorks shares down by 6 percent
By SiliconIndia | Tuesday, May 10, 2011
Bangalore: Jubilant FoodWorks was among the top losers after its price went up by 6 percent. After opening the day at 800.00 the stock touched its 52 Wk Low of 735.00, before closing the trade at 790.45, with a loss of 6.38 percent. Through the day, 938018 shares of Jubilant FoodWorks were traded in the market with a PE ration of 75.59. Fast food chain operator Jubilant FoodWorks, earlier known as Dominos India, is considering expansion in its brand portfolio by bringing more international food brands to the country. Jubilant FoodWorks which is the master franchisee of Dominos Pizza in India is currently holding discussions with several international food brands. Jubilant has the understanding of consumers in India, specially the food market in India. With several international brands eyeing for an entry into the Indian market, it is logical that they might forge some tie-ups and bring some of them in India. The company said during the quarter it witnessed a revenue growth of 35.7 percent over the corresponding period last fiscal. At present, the firm operates 364 food outlets in the country and had opened 25 new stores during the quarter. Out of 9 analysts following the stock, 4 analysts are predicting that the stock will outperform, 2 recommend buy, 1 recommends hold, I recommends underperform and 1 recommend sell. The consensus recommendation is outperform.

I started trying to write a post but realized I know bugger all about Coupe Decale so I gave up and asked the man himself to fill us in.
Hi Chief Boima. How's it going?
Hi Vamanos, Let's Go!...
Things are good out here in cloudy California.
Tell me about Coupe Decale music. Where's it from & how did you get into it ?
Coupe Decale is known usually as an Ivorian music, but from what I understand it, kind of started in Paris from some Ivorian immigrants. Douk Saga has a song that says he is the creator of Coupe Decale, and he was like a baller type dude in Paris. Just to get the vibe, it is a club music where dudes would pay to get their named shouted out and tracks produced for them. I've seen Coupe Decale videos with Didier Drogba in a club and money being thrown around etc. It instantly caught on in Ivory Coast, now it's all over West Africa and even in the French Caribbean, and throughout the rest of Africa and being created and listened to by everybody. There's a great article on Afropop.org about the origins of Coupe Decale.
I got into the music after going to a local nightclub in San Francisco, that I started djing at called Little Baobab, which is referenced in the name of the mix. It is a Senegalese restaurant and international club. On Fridays and Saturdays they play all the current African dance tunes as well as the classics. I was drawn to it because it was like a more raw banging version of the type stuff my dad listened to when I was growing up. I instantly identified with the electronic production and Afro Pop rhythm, but at the time I was doing a Global Hip Hop night on a weekday. I kind of moved up the ranks after the owner, Marco, heard me play. He liked how I mixed things up, so I went and raided my dads CD collection for the classics, and brushed up and the contemporary scene in Africa (complete with a trip "home" that resulted in my Diamonds from Sierra Leone mix.)
Your mixing up the raw african sounds with really fresh contemporary hip hop jams like Kid Cudi, D4L, even juke stuff like DJ Chip. Its fire frankly. Why did you decide to mix it up ?
Well it's a sign of my cultural background. I was drawn to Coupe Decale in the first place because of it's mix of sounds and production styles, and like so many musicians who are between cultures, I just wanted to mix my influences.
Coupe Decale is a dancing music. They have instructions on what to do in the song akin to many of the Jamaican Dancehall songs. I chose some of these specific hip hop songs to remix because they are dance songs and dancing is such a huge part of African culture and people of African descent's culture all over the world. I'm a pan-africanist and I like to draw connections between cultures that seem to have been separated by oceans and years. That's why I used more songs like Soulja Boy, Elephant Man, Cupid and D4L, because dancing is essential to their brand of regional American Hip Hop. It only made sense if I was going to mash the two continents, that I would make that connection.
Tell us about the Coup Decale night you do in SF. I can hear an African MC on the mixtape, does he perform with you and are there special dance instructions that go with the tunes ?
Ha! We do all try to talk on the mic. Sometimes some of us more than others! But yeah I mean that's part of the house party vibe too right? On the mix it's DJ Elembe, who is definitely not shy talking to the crowd. When I was in Sierra Leone they had kids on the microphone like Jamaican dj's. It just gets the vibe right when you have someone interact with the crowd. It was popularized in hip hop and reggae, but it works with anything. Ya'll in the U.K. take it to another level as well.
But the night isn't just Coupe Decale. The climax of the night is probably when those tunes go on, and they're the most popular, but we also do African Reggae, French Dancehall, Hip Hop, Zouk, Reggaeton, Salsa, Jamaican Dancehall, Kwaito, Merengue, Hiplife, Mbalax Soukous, Tanzanian and Kenyan Hip Hop, Ethiopian tracks, and more. That's how African parties are, a mix of everything.
Quality. What kind of crowd do you get ? Are there many people from the Ivory Coast in SF ?
The crowd we get is super mixed. I don't think the Bay Area has the African population that New York, D.C., Paris or London, but we have a huge Latino population. The club is in a Latino neighborhood, and I guess a lot of Latinos check it for the international vibe. You hear a good mix of French, Spanish and English being spoken. There's a lot of internationally minded North Americans, (White, Black, Asian) and a lot of French people as well. Most of the Africans that are there every weekend are from the francophone countries, with the a large number being Senegalese, probably because it's a Senegalese restaurant. I don't know if there are a lot of Ivorians. I've met a couple. I meet more Senegalese, Nigerians, Liberians, Eritreans, Ethiopians and Kenyans.
I first heard about you when you did a sick cumbia mix just before all the Nueva cumbia stuff exploded out of Argentina. How did you get into cumbia & are you feeling the new stuff ?
I remember the first time I heard Cumbia. This girl came to my dorm room when I was in college and brought an Ozo Motley CD. I asked what it was and she said it was Cumbia. From then I loved it. I probably only paid attention to cumbia fusions too until I moved to California. The first time I heard Yerba Buena, Manu Chao or Celso Piña, and even Oro 11 were all memorable moments in my head. Being in Cali now though, I've been here for four years, you hear Cumbia everywhere. Late night classic cumbia mixes on the mainstream Reggaeton channel. My homie Carlos helped me with the mix by letting me pick through a huge stack of Cumbia 45's that make up the last part of the mix. Now I still dig the fusions, especially what's coming out of Buenos Aires, but I love the old Colombian sound. To me it sounds more tropical, more African.
Thanks for that Chief. Awesome.
The mixtape, BAOBAB CONNECTION VOL.2 drops to buy here on May 3rd. You'll also get a bonus 30 min mix by DJ Sogui So Good with more super fresh Coupe Decale business.
Here's an exclusive joint off the mixtape

The point of Jerzy Skolimowski`s latest film, ``Success is the Best Revenge,`` is that success is not always the best revenge. Continuing a theme he established far more subtly and effectively in his last film,
``Moonlighting,`` Skolimowski criticizes Polish emigres who have fled their motherland for the freedoms of, say, England.
In both films Skolimowski seems to be arguing that until all Poles are free no Pole with a conscience is free.

What would you think of these gifts?
It's hard to go wrong with baked goods as a gift! Plus, the time and effort in making them is a gift itself.
Grandparents will love anything made by their precious grandbabies.
Need some Time for You? Feeling stressed? Kick back, relax & take a break. If you're a woman who just wants to have fun, here's the place :)
They will be appreciated,"
It is the thought that counts :)
I made picture ornaments. Reasonably priced at Michaels and then printed wallet size pictures and cut to size in the ornaments.
Quoting bether89:
Grandparents will love anything made by their precious grandbabies.
I am a grandma and will tell you that is a great gift! Could you maybe slip a picture in with them also? Shouldn't cost much - you don't need to frame them. You could have them printed at a drug store for .35 cents (ish) each. We LOVE getting pictures. :)

Well, you're going to have to change that array in the middle. You can either make it a reference, or move it to the end. Also, you have to read in the parameters yourself, it's not quite as automatic as C or Java in that sense.
So by the first option, it should be:
That code would be called like: functionname("string",['array_item1', $arrayItem2, '...'], "other_string_param");
Or, you could put it at the end:
where it'll slurp up all remaining args. And that code would be called like: functionname("string", "other_string_param", 'array_item1', $arrayItem2, '...');
Hope that helps.

Recorded by Michael Edward on October 31, 2003 - After the rain of ice, you will be able to look to the clouds again. Those who see the new clouds will see the joy of the true rain, not the pain and fear that has overcome so many. The blinded magicians of the new illusion cannot see the rain of Truth because they wait like fools for their faces to become wet. That is why the frozen rain will confirm the hardness of their hearts. They claim to move spiritual mountains, but they move only their human and temporal thoughts. So many look to them for help and consolation, but their words are manifested deceit led by the lowest form of spirits. If these self-proclaimed psychics must always seek a remote guidance outside of their inner Light and LifeCross, then they are nothing more than the blinded leaders of the blind. If you follow these false guides, you will find the hidden shadows that appear as light - that which is nothing more than a shadow of illusion.
Have you not been told of the LifeCross and the Light that is the center gate and only doorway to all that is and ever will be? Why do you seek gates in the stars when the LifeGate is within you? At the end of the day, will you know the manifestation of Truth, or will you wander endlessly through the dry plains of deceit? The key is not the human mystery, but the mystery of that which the stars mirror. The stars are neither guides nor power; they merely reflect the image of that which was, and is, and will be.
If you knew the Wisdom of the LifeCross, the stars would show you the dull reflection of this moment. The gold of Creation is not the temporal gold of men; neither is the glitter the source. Brilliance has become a dull cymbal of sound, and the shining has become the shadow of the heart of humanity. So very many have no perception of Light as they watch their candle burn itself into nothingness. Then they blindly seek the wealthiest of humanity to show them the gate that has passed them by. Don't you understand that the self-proclaimed of the spiritually blind have never seen the LifeGate and have less knowledge than you of where to seek out Light?

Out of all the memorable occasions at the PSU Veterans Memorial, the dedication ceremony on Memorial Day 2004 stands out for Jim AuBuchon, who has led the planning for the annual observance since the memorial opened.
"It was a beautiful day," AuBuchon recalled. "All the seats were filled and another thousand people stood."
Monday's observance, the ninth Memorial Day ceremony at the memorial, will also be memorable for AuBuchon, because it will be the last that he will lead. Early this year, AuBuchon and Ken Brock, who with his wife, Debbie, provided the lead gift for the construction of the memorial, both announced their intention to step down from the committee that plans the Memorial Day observance.
"It's time," AuBuchon said simply, noting he still plans to be involved and to be in attendance at important events at the memorial.
AuBuchon, a retired PSU vice president and retired Army brigadier general, said his connection to the PSU Veterans Memorial began at a time when the structure was just an idea.
"In 1996, when I came over to the Office of Development from Student Affairs, one of the first things that Grady Smoot (then the vice president for University Advancement) said to me was that we ought to build a veterans memorial on campus. The whole genesis of the project came from Grady Smoot," AuBuchon said.
When Smoot retired, AuBuchon was named vice president for University Advancement and he carried on with the concept of a memorial for veterans on the PSU campus.
"President John Darling embraced the vision and we jointly decided to move the idea along," AuBuchon said.
A location for the memorial was selected and two donors, Guy Sutherland, of Bartlesville, Okla., and George Zugmeier, of Scottsdale, Ariz., provided funds to hire an architect to work on a design.
With a design in hand, AuBuchon set about raising the funds required to build the memorial.
"The very first major donors were Ken and Debbie Brock," AuBuchon said. "They embraced the project immediately."
AuBuchon admitted that he was surprised by how quickly other donors stepped forward and how enthusiastic they were.
"We raised about $1.2 million in about a year," AuBuchon said.
With the funding coming in, the contractor, Crossland Construction, began work. The project was completed in just nine months, AuBuchon said, just in time for Memorial Day.
In the years since the memorial opened, AuBuchon has seen how strongly it continues to affect visitors.
"The memorial can and does evoke some very powerful emotions," AuBuchon said. "I have been there at dusk when the lights come on and have seen Vietnam veterans come to the Wall, touch a name or two or three and then very quietly go sit on one of the benches. I've seen people go to the memorial for quiet reflection. I've seen that a lot and I've done it myself."
Although this will be the last Memorial Day observance that AuBuchon and Brock will lead, both men still plan to be involved in programs at the memorial and they say they are leaving this major annual event in good hands.
"Melvin Rupard has been a member of the Memorial Day planning committee for years," AuBuchon said. "He's a member of the Frontenac American Legion Post and when Ken and I first started talking about stepping down, Melvin volunteered to approach the post about taking this over and they agreed. I know they're going to do a great job, with the help of all of the others who have been part of this over the years."
The 2012 Memorial Day observance at the PSU Veterans Memorial will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, May 28. The keynote speaker will be Lt. Col. Robert Brock. Other speakers will include Jim AuBuchon and PSU President Steven A. Scott. Music will be provided by Joel Wren, of the Great Highland Bagpipes; the PSU Brass Ensemble; and the Tri-Statesmen Barbershop Chorus. At the conclusion of the ceremony, AuBuchon will join veterans and their families for the unveiling of newly installed pavers. The PSU Veterans Memorial is located at 1909 S. Rouse. Parking is available at the memorial and at the Bicknell Sports Complex.

Fabio Aurelio insists Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez's rant against Manchester United's Sir Alex Ferguson had the backing of the entire squad.
Some players, like Xabi Alonso, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard, do not think the manager's recent tirade against Sir Alex Ferguson helped Liverpool's title chances.
But Aurelio says: "Every manager tries to play mental games to distract the opposition. It was the right time to say something (against Ferguson). We know everything he said was the truth. The players are behind him."

It's Pamela! Pamela! Pamela! I keep whispering her name to myself. However, I don't whisper her surname - Pigg - though I remain optimistic that she will eventually seize the day and change her name by deed poll.
But oh, those sublime three syllables: Pam-e-la. It's Abba's music! It's a mountain stream. It's Leicester Town Hall gardens with the cherry blossom out. It's Edward Heath's laugh. It's a refrigerated Crunchie bar.
But Pigg. Pigg is brutish and short. It's slurry. It's the Queen Mother's teeth. It's that local authority prickly stuff that thrives next to inner ring roads. It's the predictable twist at the end of a Jeffrey Archer story. It's Ann Widdecombe's fringe.

Am I in love? I rang Nigel at work, and he faxed me a questionnaire. Some of the questions were relevant, some were not. He told me that if I answer yes to any four, then I am definitely in love. He had scribbled on the bottom that the questionnaire was obviously prepared for gay men, but it probably works for straights, too.
a) Do you think about him constantly?
b) Have you had your chest hair waxed?
c) Do you ring him more than four times a day?
d) Have you stopped going to saunas?
e) Are you afraid to have your hair cut in case he doesn't like it?
f) Are you writing overwrought poetry about nature?
I sat at the kitchen table with a cup of Kenco and a ballpoint, and quickly found out that I am in love with Pamela Pigg. I rang her at the housing office to tell her so (my fifth call of the day), but the senior housing officer, Terry Nutting, told me that he had given Pamela "compassionate leave" to have her hair done.
Nutting thinks he is such a wit. He'll be laughing on the other side of his beardy face when Pamela leaves to become my wife. According to Pammy, Nutting is an incompetent idler who sits all day in his office answering the personal adds in Private Eye.
She said, in that sweet voice of hers (like a zephyr blowing across a linnet's egg), "Terry Nutting wouldn't recognise a homeless person if he fell over one in a shop doorway."

Pamela's new hairstyle is growing on me. Not, of course, literally growing on me. What I mean is that I can now glance in her direction for seconds at a time without flinching. I still think it was a mistake to go quite so short: her head is a rather peculiar shape, and her scalp is criss-crossed with scars and the evidence of childhood accidents.
Saturday, April, 1 - April Fool's Day
At 11.30am, my sister Rosie rang to say that there was a letter at their house addressed to me from Greg Dyke, head bloke at the BBC, to say that he had read the Restless Tadpole, my epic poem, and wanted Andrew Davies to adapt it for BBC2. When I asked her to fax me the letter, she laughed her horrible laugh and put the phone down.
Sunday, April 2
So, I have reached the age of 33 - the same age as Jesus was when he was killed. Glenn gave me a card which said on the front in gothic print "Happy Birthday Single Father". There was a picture of a man with a moustache standing on a hump-backed bridge and staring down into a river - as though he was thinking about throwing himself in. Perhaps to escape his responsibilities. William had made a card at nursery school out of egg shells, lentils and crushed cornflakes. I thanked him but privately thought it was disgusting, especially when half the world is starving.

This Easter morning we slept late. After I dressed Ray and got him into his chair, I prepared breakfast for him. He almost always eats well and this morning was no exception. After breakfast, we read the paper and I came across an article about a woman in Austin who has been charged with the murder of her disabled husband. She had been his caretaker for two years, wrote a blog about their life and finally decided she "was tired of taking care of him". I have read, and re-read, the story several times today. I am very troubled by it because in spite of the similarities,it is incomprehensible to me.
The District Attorney in Austin has entered into a plea arrangement to allow this woman to plead to a lesser charge than murder. If the court agrees with the plea bargain, she will be assessed 10 years probation and 400 hours community service. I believe that sends the wrong message. I believe that says it's okay to murder your disabled husband because it is inconvenient to care for him. I believe it says that you can take the life of someone who cannot defend himself and you will not be punished for it. I believe that is wrong. It is our duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves.
I find myself sad and depressed oftentimes. Saturday was a particularly hard day for me and I spent the entire day in tears. I am terrified about what the future holds, I am terrified about whether I will be able to continue to financially handle the rehab, the nurse, the medicines, the special needs I deal with on a daily basis. I am sad that we are unable to go places and do things together anymore. We can't get into the car and take a drive, or go to the grocery store, or the mall, or the firing range together. When we go somewhere, we have to call the wheelchair van company to pick him up and I have to go in the car. Then we have to make arrangements to get back. Therefore, 99% of our outings consist of doctor visits and rehab. On Sundays, we are completely housebound as we have no way to go anywhere. That would depress anyone.
Ray was almost 40 when we married and I was 32. In the beginning, our lives revolved around our son and his activities; later we enjoyed just being together. We had friends we enjoyed sharing time with, but we were perfectly content by ourselves. With one exception in all those years, we agreed on politics, and candidates, and we worked together to get our candidates elected. Politics had always been my passion and Ray embraced that passion and became quite knowledgeable in that arena.
The last two years have been hard on both of us. We sit for hours in front of the idiot box, as I have always referred to the television, saying little because of his expressive aphasia. After the stroke, but before the fall, his speech was recovering, slowly but surely, and we were able to communicate much more than we are now although his speech is improving, thanks to ongoing therapy. However, there are still hours of silence or words that are not understood.
I am fanatical about keeping him safe from falls, injuries, anything that might cause him harm. I prepare his medications, nine in the morning and12 at night, along with insulin when needed, so that I know they are correct. I check him constantly to make sure he is warm and comfortable. I work very hard at making sure he is not depressed or sad. Although when I get mad or sad, and I do, it upsets him. I feel terrible when I realize I have upset him and I try to make amends. Even though he understands that I am under a lot of stress and am sad, it just kills me to hurt him. That brilliant mind, trapped in that broken body, is still alert, aware and completely knowing.
Ray always tells me that I should not judge others by myself. I understand that but I also understand that I am dealing with many of the same issues she was. I understand that I miss my husband as he used to be and I would give anything to have him back. I also know that Ray, as he used to be, is not coming back. The only important thing is that I still have him at my side at night and I get a big smile and a one-armed hug and kiss every morning when I get up, when I leave for work and when I return and sometimes when I just walk past his chair. We will remain together until the good Lord takes him from me, or me from him, and not a second less.

Editor, AAN.com for Patients and Caregivers
As an epileptologist, I have known both men and women with calcium loss from the bones who have been taking anticonvulsants. There may be no relationship between the two, but it is always a concern. It's hard to forget my 40-year-old patient who had a seizure and fractured two bones in his back and one in his upper arm from muscle contraction alone.
Although there has been growing awareness that some anticonvulsants can produce loss of calcium from bone and, therefore, weaken the bones, many of the studies of this problem have been small and limited in the number of anticonvulsants examined. In clinical practice, neurologists worry that anticonvulsants like phenytoin and carbamazepine, that stimulate enzymes in the liver, are more likely to produce bone loss than others.
In the January 2011 issue of Archives of Neurology, investigators in Canada published a pharmaco-epidemiologic study of more than 15,000 individuals taking anticonvulsants. The patients were taking anticonvulsants for epilepsy as well as for other reasons. Surprisingly, the use of most anticonvulsants among patients ages 50 and older appears to result in more broken bones. The only one that appeared not to be related to fractures was valproic acid.
The study is interesting, but I think a few observations are important:
There are some excellent guidelines for the prevention and management of osteoporosis in women, but it's hard to know how to apply these to men and women taking anticonvulsants.
In addition, the recommendations on Vitamin D use have also been in flux recently, making it difficult to advise our patients. (Read a brief summary of the Institute of Medicine report that caused all the stir last year.)
In my own practice, I encourage good bone health through nutrition and exercise, and monitor bone density when warranted. I also follow the Institute of Medicine review and recommend about 600 IU of Vitamin D.

Auditors are charged with the task of verifying the effectiveness of a business's internal controls, and must report any incidences they find that suggest mismanagement, waste and/or fraud, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. After the audit, the auditor must express a formal opinion on the records he analyzed in his report, which may be either a modified or unmodified audit opinion.
An auditor's audit opinion is contained within his audit report. Modified or qualified audit opinions are given for two reasons. The first is scope limitation, which means that the auditor doesn't have access to enough information, or to relevant information. The second is in the circumstance that there is a departure from applicable financial reporting framework, which may be the result of either an accident or negligence on the part of the client being audited.
Modified vs Unmodified
When the financial statements "give a true and fair view" and the organization under audit has gone in accordance with all requirements, the auditor will issue an unmodified audit opinion. A modified audit opinion is issued in all other circumstances, and must be identified as such.
There are three types of modified audit opinions. The first is an opinion in which the auditor states that there is a possibility of a misstatement in the client's financial records that is "material but not pervasive." In this case, the auditor states that everything in the audit is fairly presented with the exception of a specific item, and why that item is an exception. The second type of modified audit opinion comes with a disclaimer or opinion, which is used when the misstatement in the financial record is due to a scope limitation and is both material and pervasive. The third modified audit opinion is adverse; in this case, the misstatement is both material and pervasive, and must originate from a departure from applicable financial reporting framework.
At the end of an audit, Generally Accepted Auditing Standards mandate that auditors must either express an opinion of the financial records in question, or must issue a disclaimer of opinion. An auditor may decide to issue a disclaimer of opinion if one of four circumstances are applicable: a lack of independence, scope limitations, substantial doubt about the organization's ability to survive or matters involving uncertainties.

What is Paul Hobbs up to these days? Of course he is devoting time to the companies he assesses but also to his favorite hobby: purchase and sale of lands and the search of new zones to cultivate the best varieties.
This New York flying winemaker is, in a way, an archaeologist of wine. Among his plans, he has been asked to develop a wine project for the Argentine business man, Eduardo Eurnekian, in Finger Lake, New York for USD 10 million. At the same time, he is setting up his own high-end wine project together with Mendozan engineer Carlos Tizio in Armenia, region that is attracting several investors these days. Eurnekian has a large-scale project in Armenia assessed by Michel Rolland.
Hobbs explains that vine material over there is rudimentary, but by taking clones from Argentina, France and California a top vineyard can be planted in one of the oldest wine regions in the world. "Recent archaeological excavations have found in Armenia the oldest winery in the world of 6,500 years old," he says, excited. He is fascinated by Armenia's history. The problem with this is region is that it lacks skilled labor and infrastructure for major projects. "It will never be a great region, but it has some incredible areas. It is like Mendoza: there are gems, new areas to be discovered. Right now I am working with some remote areas in Uco Valley in the highest part, but I cannot say much because the project is in its initial phase," he confide.
Is viticulture in its early stages? Is there a lot more to discover?
Of course, even in Napa. There will not be any great discovery, but there is still refining to be done. A specific terroir can be found for a specific variety here; these are the little gems I am talking about.
Is this where the business is going; towards finding those special places?
I believe I am not the only one who is working on this. Refining and understanding of the different terroirs is something that many of my colleagues, winemaker and agronomist, are deeply involved in, too. This is one the things that I love about Argentina; it is a very dynamic place. Without meaning to compare Argentina to Chile, I believe that Chile has a 'corporate' philosophy; more business-driven. In Argentina there is a culture and passion for wine. Every time I come I feel energized; I can tell that people are hungry for new things, discoveries and learning. I love getting together with José Galante and seeing his shinny eye as he opens his experimental kit. The strange thing is that, because of Argentina's instability and its ups and downs, everyone looks for stability and security, but I love Argentina the way it is.
How would you describe 2012 wines? What can be expected from them?
To begin with, this was a year of low yields, especially for the Malbec. It was really hot and the climate was below ideal conditions; in general terms, this grapes harvest was not very good. But the fact that Argentina has a long-established wine tradition, knowledge in vineyard management and good winemaking practices has helped to successfully overcome this situation. The variability of the harvest has not been reduced to zero, but today it is just small part of the equation. This is why I dare say 2012 wines will be superior to 2011's and far better than 2010 wines.
Many red wines are still undergoing malolactic fermentation and it is too early to talk widely about them, but I am sure they will be excellent, though they seemed to have gotten off on the wrong foot.
If you wanted to make a great wine, what varieties would you use for this blend?
Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The Cabernet turned out wonderful. I thought that red wines from cold zones, like La Consulta, were going to be better. I do not know why, but wines from Lujan de Cuyo are more opulent, complex and fresher than those from high or cold zones.

My daughter is 4 years old and is has been in preschool since she was 3. She is very happy, outgoing, and talkative at home with myself, my husband, and her older sister. However, she won't speak to the teachers or other kids at school...or even aunts and uncles whom we visit occasionally. She has literally gone an entire year without speaking to her teachers and they are getting concerned that it is taking so long. Currently, she shakes her head or nods to respond. She will speak to me in front of them but not directly to them. I do recell that when she took a ballet class and a riding lesson this past fall, she did speak to her instructors..although very reluctantly...but for some reason that was easier for her.
She seems normal and well-adjusted in other ways. I wonder how long to wait this out before seeking professional help. She seems so happy otherwise that I don't know what to think. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?Answer Question

Tempelhof on a Saturday afternoon: The sun is out, the beer is flowing, and Great Britain's victory in the rowing is being beamed out to hundreds of Berliners sunbathing in front of the big screen. Most of the action, however, is happening on the other side of the field, where a small sports arena has been constructed out of red and white tape and a homemade banner. It is surrounded by spectators who, it is possible to discern from the babble and the odd flash of patriotic livery, come from all four corners of the globe.
This is the Slowlympics: an alternative Olympic Games organised by "Slow Travel Berlin". Through the course of the afternoon, the beer will continue to flow, while the participants take part in a variety of bizarre events in an attempt – and a successful one at that – to take themselves a little less seriously.
"Once I get an idea like this, it's difficult to stop," Slow Travel Berlin's co-founder Paul Sullivan tells me, "once I realised "Slow" rhymed with "O", I kind of had to do an Olympics event."
"Slow Travel Berlin" is a half blog, half volunteer organisation which promotes the idea of "Slow Tourism"; tourism, in other words, which rejects fast paced, commercialised box ticking in favour of immersing oneself properly in a city or location. As the organisation's website says: "it emboldens us to take pause. To think. To saunter instead of rush and enjoy the details instead of blurring past them."
So what has this got to do with the Olympics? Particularly in Berlin where, in case we hadn't noticed, the Games aren't taking place this summer?
"Slow is an ambiguous word," says Sullivan, "and I like that. There are different ways you can interpret it. This event is about making the Olympics a bit less about competition and more about collaboration. And that's what Berlin is like, the way I see it. It's a collaborative, not a competitive city."
Certainly, the Slowlympics seem to be the antithesis of the chaos back home. They are just one event in a variety at Tempelhof, where the "Die Spiele in Berlin" offers citizens and tourists alike the opportunity to sit for free and enjoy the sport in the sun. There is no shortage of space, the atmosphere is chilled and, for once, the Olympics seem to be something which absolutely everyone is enjoying. The Currywurst may be a Euro or two more expensive than it is on the street, but it's worth the pain. As for Slow Travel's event, it's not quite Slowlympics versus Olympics, says Sullivan, but it's definitely a nice alternative.
We finish our conversation, as he goes to brief the Slowlympics competitors. They are numerous, multinational and largely eccentric. Families tuck into picnics while the smokers guiltily avoid the toddlers. One group of Spaniards in matching t-shirts babble away amongst themselves, while a giant American gentleman dons a hat in the shape of a pint glass, with "USA" emblazoned across the front.
The first event is the standing long jump. Six grown men and women line up along the tape and jump a few feet forwards, before everyone falls about laughing and cheers excitedly. Next is Wurst Flinging: even more grown men and women line up and are each handed a small, raw Wiener sausage which they take turns to throw as far as they can. The Germans, who have never received any proper cricket coaching, begin to stand out. One Wurst hits a photographer. Sides split.
The day goes on with all number of similarly ridiculous competitions. There is a backwards running race, a slow bicycle race, grape spitting and compact discus. Sullivan, moreover, is right. This is collaborative. It's self aware, relaxed and hilarious fun.
Sullivan admits that the organisation has made a slight loss on the event: "We raised €260 from team registrations and donations, and we've spent about 100 more than that. But it's not about the money. It's just been a fantastic day. And we lost a lot more money at our last event, so we're improving!"
Slow Travel Berlin's non-capitalist approach is admirable. While it may hinder the organisation from expanding in terms of bilingualism – it is, for the moment, a largely Anglophone set up – and audience, it ensures that events like the Slowlympics remain true to what the organisation promotes – involvement, integration and enjoyment.
And this event, however small, however informal, a breath of fresh air from the overly commercialised world of the modern Olympics. In social and economic terms, it was indeed collaborative, not competitive.

Kate Moss Cocaine Update: Why Yes, That Was Blow She Was Doing
As it turns out, most of last week was not a figment of our imagination: Supermodel Kate Moss, appearing on the cover of the UK's Daily Mirror cutting and snorting hearty lines of cocaine, has admitted that she was not bumping a mix of powdered sugar and baking soda. The white substance featured at right was, in fact, COCAINE.
On Thursday, Moss met with her overlords at H&M to apologize for embarassing the retail chain, which has signed Moss to model one of its upcoming clothing lines. Moss' contract stipulated that she abide by a company policy that all models be "healthy, wholesome and sound," and Moss admitted to her employers that the allegations of her drug use were true. Which means she failed to nail a single one of H&M's three pithy requirements — but at least she stayed skinny enough to model their new $19 peasant vest.

The Education of Oronte Churm
Oronte Churm is the pen name of John Griswold, who teaches in the MFA program at McNeese State University, proudly nestled in Cajun country on the Louisiana Gulf.
Research Notes, Day 7
Driving until hell wouldn't have it.
A long travel day. A missed connection in Ft. Myers with a former Army diver who served in Vietnam, before Frenchy knew him. So Frenchy tells his best story about W -- instead as we head north:
"We were both in the same dive company, and the weekend was coming up, and W -- asked me if I wanted to go diving over the weekend, and I said, Sure, man, why not. Someone picked me up at the dive section. We were taking a van, and we drove over to W—'s house. And he and his wife were having a bit of a tiff over the whole nine yards…. Anyway, W— picked up his gear and started down the sidewalk, and the upstairs window flew open, and all of W—'s clothes came flying out of it. And he calmly put his dive gear into the van, and walked back into the house…and another argument ensued. And he came back out, and we went diving. I never did ask him if she went down there and picked up his clothes, or maybe he did it, I don't know. But, yeah, his wife was a piece of work."
The other thing to know about W—is that in Vietnam they'd been partying/jumping/diving off a crane into the water for fun all morning:
"They were cooking out on the beach, they had lobster, nobody else was taking them, they were easy to catch, and some of the Red Cross women had come over. W— got up there later that afternoon, everybody was drunk by then. W—went climbing up the crane derrick, and everybody was hollering at him, No, no! Don't do that, the tide went out, not enough water there! W— proceeded to do a swan dive off the crane derrick and planted his head into a coral head. And a whole bunch of guys jumped into the water and pulled him out and poured a whole bottle of liquor on his face, where he was all cut up. Took him to a doctor who put him in a neck brace, which probably wasn't necessary, because he said he couldn't move his head anyway. If anybody said anything to him, he had to turn his whole body. And he's still got a Cro-Magnon lump on his forehead. But: Divers will be divers. And that's how I got him to tell me that story. I kept saying: What the hell did you do to your head?"
"What was that other guy's name? D—H—. And he would do just about anything on a bet. So it's little wonder he was covered in boils. But one particular boil was giving him a hard time, and one of the divers on the barge said, I can fix that, just take a coin and put it over the boil, soak a cotton ball in some alcohol, light the cotton ball on fire and put a wide-mouth jar over it, and when the air inside the jar cools, it'll pull the head out of that boil. So they did. Of course I guess the coin didn't cool off as fast as they thought it would, but that boil exploded inside there, and of course the coin went flying upside down, and the heated part landed on D—'s skin. [Laughs.] Yeah. They only did that once. Wonder why."
Random thoughts on the drive. Lunch in Ybor City, the night in Tallahassee.
If a group of people were particularly down and out, and one of them pulled his civilian commodore's jacket from his hometown yacht club out of his suitcase, they could all be feted at the local yacht club. Some yacht clubs more…humble…than others, and easy to be a commodore, but evidently some mutual agreement among commodores, equality, no matter their origins.
A handled "mug-o-rita" at the Ybor City restaurant, like something from a 7-11 that would hold two gallons of fluid. One of their frozen drinks called the Faceplant. Names for a strip club with a mermaid theme. The Mermaid's Cloaca. The Mermaid's Tail. The Mature Mermaid, The Big Mermaid, The Buxom Mermaid. The Scaly Nipple. And bars: Bottom Dwellers. Denizens of the Deep. Scumsuckers.
Magic as a motif: Synchronicity, Harry Potter, Randy Cox's belief that the universe employs scenery techs to move things around just beyond his vision (and often screwing up or re-using the scenery in a sloppy fashion), the BP monster of the abyss, the mysterious radio voice calling them in from sea to Shittown, God Himself as narrator (whom they try to outwit, even as he tries to wrap up the story multiple times). And weaving this motif with those of fatherhood, relationships, aging, diving, the environment, the Gulf in all its connotations.
Is the term "divers dying of nostalgia" as a euphemism for nitrogen narcosis specifically a Gabriel Garcia Marquez phrase, or more generally used?
A guy with Florida State plates, who'd been tailgating me, races around and cuts me off. Frenchy calls him a Yankee bastard. My confusion: I wonder if I am the Yankee bastard. Then Frenchy calls him a goddamned protestant. Then: local yokel!—Frenchy channeling his father driving home from church in about 1952. A car with an Arkansas plate: Goddamned cowboys! Frenchy cries.

ID - Twins Gabriel & Tryce Medrano, 3 wks, die while co-sleeping, 21 Nov 2011
1-month-old identical twin boys die in Pocatello
Police in southeastern Idaho say detectives are investigating the "suspicious" deaths of 1-month-old identical twin boys whose mother called 911 to report that they weren't breathing.
Police in southeastern Idaho say autopsies found no signs of trauma to 1-month-old twin boys whose deaths have been described as suspicious.
What is it with abuse towards multiples lately??
Or is there just more multiples than there used to be because of fertility treatments (I realize the children in the story are identical and therefore not the result of fertility treatments).
I have identical twin boys and have always felt special and blessed to have them!! Even though the first 3 months were just a blur of breastfeeding and diaper changing and i can barely remember most of it.. I never wanted to hurt them... i just don't understand..

This was not necessarily abuse.
There was no trauma... and that sounds an awful lot like the 3 month old twins from August.
We just weren't given the information at the time, but it appears everyone knew how those twins died immediately.
Those deaths were also labeled as "suspicious" with no trauma, but deemed to be accidental.
These twins also have siblings just like Noah and Moses did... we could be looking at something similar.
Even with an exhausted parent who fell asleep with the babies and accidentally suffocated them. That has also happened.
I'm not jumping to conclusions until I see a reason to be suspicious.
The 3 month old twins from August - different case which has been deemed accidental suffocation. No arrests or removal of siblings.

1 month old identical twin boys found dead in home
again? (re: 3 month old twin boys found dead)
Authorities in southeastern Idaho are investigating the "suspicious" deaths of 1-month-old identical twin boys whose mother called 911 to report that they weren't breathing.
Lt. Paul Manning said Kiarra Kimbel, of Pocatello, made the report at 8:35 a.m. Monday.
Manning said the infants -- Gabriel R. Medrano and Tryce E. Medrano -- were rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead on arrival. Autopsies were planned for Monday evening to determine the cause of the deaths, authorities said.
The Idaho State Journal reports that neighbors said Kimbel has two other children who live with her at her Pocatello apartment. The newspaper reports neighbors said the twins were seen Sunday and appeared to be in good health. They were living in the apartment with their mother and her two other children, neighbors said.

Wow! Can't believe there is another, similar case!!

Both children? Heartbreaking and chilling. Prayers.My opinions are like my laundry: sometimes all over the place and sometimes they stink.
Yet another heartbreaking story. RIP little ones.True Crime Blog www.tristatrace.wordpress.com
TG there was no trauma. I immediately wondered about carbon monoxide and the type of bedding snuggled around them. I pray there was no foul play.
RIP wee ones.

It was one month in the case of the 3 month old twins, before they came out and explained what had happened.
That case - a different case from August
I expect as long as there is nothing major here, this will be about the same amount of time.
Even if you think you know what happened and it wasn't criminal, you still make sure there is nothing in the toxicology results first.
I'm wondering if "shots" had anything to do with it. It's been a long time since my children were babies and I know the schedule for immuniations has changed.
BTW, I also have twin boys, never had a moment of stress when they were young, they were easier to raise than their older sisters.

So heartbreaking.. When I was an infant, a friend of my mothers had twins die of SIDs together when we were all about a month or two old. It destroyed her.
RIP little ones, prayers to the family and friends who are mourning their loss. Til I hear something to make think foul play was involved I will have this mother in my special prayers. I cannot imagine losing one child, let alone two in one fell swoop
ETA wondering if they were born preterm or had any health concerns from their birth as well (respitory concerns, etc.)Websleuths now on Facebook

All we know is that they "appeared to be in good health" according to neighbors.
They appeared to arrive on time according to Mom and Dad's facebooks.
(Mom's name has been released and the babies share Dad's name. Dad has been talking about his twins on facebook since this happened and Mom has thanked everyone for the support.)
One twin appears to be smaller than the other (not uncommon with twins.)
They were born October 27.
The older siblings I am not 100% clear on. I know for sure the little girl is about 2 years old.
I know for sure there is at least one older boy, possibly two. They would be older... 6-9 years old.
Dad appears the same for all... though boy(s) could be from his previous relationship?
Either way, this still doesn't feel like foul play to me. I don't know what it is... and of course anything is possible.
But after the 3 month old twins who died co-sleeping with their 8 year old sister... seeing these boys co-sleeping with their 1 year old sister... Really made me stop and wonder if this wasn't the exact same scenario.

Police say mom Kiarra Kimbell called 911 early Monday morning and reported one infant not breathing at her Pocatello home.
First responders found both babies, Gabriel and Tryce Medrano, non-responsive in an adult bed, Lt. Paul Manning with the Pocatello Police told the Daily News.
"It's suspicious because we have no trauma, and while they were born prematurely, the doctor says they were in good health. We have to look at it suspiciously," Manning said.
Investigators already have ruled out carbon monoxide poisoning.
Who's adult bed?
The older boy(s) sleep in a full size "adult" bed too from the pictures.
So that doesn't mean it was the Mom's bed.
This is looking more and more like another accidental suffocation....
But, if I were investigating this, I'd certainly have Mom recreate the bedding/bumpers/blankets/stuffed toys arrangements that night.

The season will begin on August 14 in downtown Reno NV, and finish at
the AMA Red Bull Supermoto A-Go-Go in Las Vegas in November. In
between, the series will visit cities nationwide resulting in a
seven-round championship.
As was the case in 2003, the championship's inaugural year, the 2004
schedule remains fall-based. In part, this was done to allow top level
riders who compete in other AMA Pro Racing and World Championship
events the greatest opportunity to participate in AMA Supermoto.
In March, AMA Pro Racing announced a significant improvement to the
championship structure designed to encourage participation from top
riders while still rewarding those who commit to the entire series.
Mirroring a traditional cumulative-points championship, while still
placing emphasis on the season finale, points will be awarded to the
top 20 finishers in every 2004 event with double points available to
top finishers at the championship finale. A team championship will also
be up for grabs in 2004 in both classes: AMA Supermoto and Supermoto
Eligibility for the championship finale will be granted to any rider
who has qualified for a main event in any of the regular-season events
leading up to the last round. Former FIM World Champions and any rider
who has earned points at an FIM World Championship event in the current
season will also be eligible to enter the season finale in Las Vegas.
Outdoor Life Network (OLN) will continue to televise AMA Supermoto and
that efforts to air the championship in select markets worldwide are in
the works.
Round 1 – August 14,15 – Reno NV
Round 2 – August 28,29 – Copper Mountain Resort & Village CO
Round 4 – September 11 – Music City Motorplex, Nashville TN
Round 5 – September 18 – South Boston Speedway, South Boston VA
Round 6 – October 17 – Del Mar Fairgrounds, Del Mar CA
Round 7 – November TBA – Las Vegas NV

Former Chap selected in NBA second round by Indiana
Published 7:00 pm, Thursday, June 26, 2008
From staff reports
Former Midland College basketball player Nathan Jawai was selected by the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the NBA Draft on Thursday.
Jawai, a 6-foot-10, 280-pound post player, went with the 41st pick. There was talk during ESPN's broadcast of the draft that Jawai's draft rights would be traded from Indiana to Toronto to complete Wednesday's trade that sent Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto and T.J. Ford to the Pacers.
Jawai played in 13 games for the 2006-07 Chapparals, starting two games and averaging 11.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and a blocked shot per game. He suffered a knee injury and returned to his native Australia for the second half of the campaign, which saw Midland College win the 2007 NJCAA National Championship.
Before he could return to MC, Jawai signed a contract to play for the Cairns Taipans in the Australian National Basketball League. He scored 17.7 points and pulled down 9.6 boards a game for the Taipans and earned the NBL All-Star Game MVP award after scoring 24 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.

This mind-blowing vaca frita was made with an inexpensive cut of beef and stock items from my kitchen!
Have You Heard of Vaca Frita?
My sister was in town for a visit from Denver. As per usual, we did a lot of yacking about food and she brought up a Cuban dish she had made recently. I only had to pick up a chuck roast as all the rest of the ingredients for this vaca frita, AKA, Cuban shredded beef, were staples in my kitchen.
Pantry Ingredients Plus One
Onions, lime, orange juice, garlic and cumin flavored the beef…which was slowly cooked, shredded by pounding with a meat mallet, then fried till crispy. Served over rice with a side of sauteed plantains and a green salad made for a Cuban feast. Between the intoxicating aromas of the garlic, orange juice and lime concoction sitting on the counter and the browning beef, my stomach did flip flops waiting for this dish to become a fait accompli.
Vaca Frita or Cuban Shredded Beef #SundaySupper
Scrumptious Cuban Shredded Beef adapted from America's Test Kitchen
- 2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed, and cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes

- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons orange juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest plus 1 tablespoon juice
- 1 onion, halved and sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons dry sherry
- Bring beef, 2 cups water, and 1¼ teaspoons salt to boil in a large skillet over medium-high. Decrease heat to low, cover, and simmer until beef is tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes.
- Combine garlic, oil, and cumin in bowl. Mix together orange juice and lime zest and juice in another bowl.
- Remove lid, increase heat, and simmer until water evaporates and beef starts to fry, 5 minutes or so.Remove beef to rimmed baking sheet. Pour off and save fat from skillet. Wipe skillet dry with paper towels.
- Place sheet of aluminum foil over beef and, using meat pounder flatten beef into ⅛-inch-thick pieces, removing any large pieces of fat or gristle.
- Heat 1½ teaspoons reserved fat the skillet over high heat. Add onion and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion nicely browned. Add sherry and ¼ cup water and cook until liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer onion to bowl. Return skillet to high heat, add 1½ teaspoons reserved fat, then add beef and cook, stirring frequently, until dark golden brown and crusty, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and push beef to sides of skillet. Add garlic mixture to center and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Remove pan from heat, add orange juice mixture and onion, and mix well. Season with pepper to taste. Serve over rice with lime wedges.

Detroit, MI (PRWEB) May 21, 2013
Standard advice for mattress shoppers often consists of the standard showroom test-drive and little else. However given industry's less than exceptional satisfaction ratings and the increase of tools available to shoppers via the internet, Consumer Mattress Reports sets out to revise this advice in their latest guide, "Choosing The Best Mattress."
This article addresses several components of the shopping process with insider tips and suggestions that may not be readily apparent to many shoppers. From prices to types to tools, readers come away with useful ideas to implement in their quest for a better bed.
Consumer Mattress Reports first looks at prices, offering average ranges and recommending shoppers set a budget. They then introduce the five most popular mattress types and rank them in order of highest to lowest owner satisfaction, and also offer a primer on mattress firmness. One topic of growing importance to consumers proves healthiness and eco-friendliness of products, which the article addresses in regard to mattress materials and additives.
