The proposal would let Kerry hold off on spending his $75 million general-election budget for an extra month. The Democratic Party would still stage its national convention in Boston at the end of July, five weeks before the Republican National Convention in New York. Kerry and Bush both are expected to accept $75 million in full federal funding for their general election campaigns. Once nominated, the candidates will be limited to spending the government money and can no longer raise or spend private contributions on the campaign. The Kerry campaign "won't fight with one hand behind our back," spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said yesterday. "Never in Democratic Party history has any nominee raised as much money as John Kerry," she said. "We're going to continue to ambitiously fund-raise and we believe our support will only grow." Kerry's campaign and the Democratic National Committee are still considering the specifics of such a plan. Cutter said the nomination officially occurs after the delegate roll-call vote, so Democrats could have to find a way to recreate that or change party rules to delay the vote's effect for a month. A Democratic official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said one possibility would be to change the rules so the nomination takes place Sept. 1. Kerry could give a convention speech that stops short of accepting the nomination, and the convention could be recessed until Sept. 1, when delegates could vote by Internet or proxy. Television networks were uncertain yesterday how such a move would affect convention coverage. Over the past few conventions, live coverage has declined to a few hours per week. "It's one more thing that's not happening at a convention," said Mark Lukasiewicz, who runs special events coverage for NBC News. "It's one more thing to factor in as we decide how much resources -- financial and editorial -- we have to give to convention coverage." Kerry's decision could be weeks away. Other options include having the DNC or local and state parties raise more money to support Kerry's candidacy, Cutter said. Kerry would have no control over much of that money. By law, the DNC can coordinate $16 million to $18 million in spending with Kerry's campaign in the general election. Kerry declined to comment yesterday. Kerry and Bush skipped public financing for the primary-election season, letting them spend as much as they wish until they are nominated at the conventions. Since becoming the party's presumptive nominee in March, Kerry has broken Democratic fund-raising and spending records. He raised roughly $31 million last month, pushing his total to a Democratic record $117 million. Kerry started May with $28 million in the bank, far less than Bush's $72 million but still a Democratic record. Bush has raised more than $200 million. The crucial question, should Kerry try to stop the clock from ticking on his $75 million general-election financing, is when the Federal Election Commission considers Kerry nominated. The FEC and courts have traditionally deferred to party rules to determine how a candidate is nominated, said Larry Noble, former FEC general counsel. The FEC provides the general-election financing after the candidate is nominated according to those party rules. The DNC could change its nominating procedure before the convention, such as having delegates vote later, said Noble, head of the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. However, delaying the nomination could affect the $14 million in government money the DNC received to hold its nominating convention, he said. "They would have to come up with an argument that would basically look at the convention as continuing past the convention dates," Noble said. "In the end it would be up to the FEC and possibly the courts, if it's challenged." Democrats would be wise to seek FEC advice before acting, commission spokesman Bob Biersack said, adding that the FEC has not faced such a question before. Bush campaign spokesman Terry Holt said throwing a DNC convention with government money only to nominate Kerry later could amount to a "bait-and-switch tactic on the American taxpayer." "Maybe they've found a way to manipulate the federal law in such a way as to avoid that, but fundamentally this is about John Kerry thinking the rules that apply to everyone else don't apply to him," Holt said. When Democrats scheduled the convention, they didn't know they would have a nominee who skipped primary public financing and its $45 million spending limit. They thought they would face the same situation they have for years: a nominee finishing the primaries close to the limit, with months to go before the convention and government financing. Interest groups are paying close attention. A new law bans them from using corporate or union money on ads mentioning Kerry a month before he is officially nominated; the same rules apply to pre-GOP-convention ads on Bush. If Kerry is nominated later, that could mean more time to run ads for and against him using the so-called soft money, said David Keating, executive director of the anti-tax Club for Growth, which opposes many Kerry policies and supports many of Bush's.

Nurturing Inquiry, a new exhibit in the University of Rochester's Department of Rare Books and Special Collections, highlights scholars from across disciplines, colleges, and countries in celebration of the journey of research. The exhibit unearths the challenges and rewards involved in navigating the research process, while showcasing an assortment of rare and specialized materials.
A recurring theme among students who are doing research for the first time is the thrill of using fragile historical manuscripts. "This is different from seeing a JPEG," says co-curator Abby Glogower. "You're holding a letter that Frederick Douglass wrote to his friend asking her to buy his freedom," Glogower explains. "And you can hold it? That's amazing." From letters, illustrations, and luncheon menus, to books, brochures and buttons, these resources have led curious minds down converging and often diverging paths of exploration.
The exhibit, on view through February 2014, is the product of many researchers and a great breadth of collaboration. Glogower is one of five co-curators for the exhibit. A doctoral student in visual and cultural studies, she was motivated by a desire for increased camaraderie among scholars.
"Researchers have to wrestle with, process, and synthesize material into things like term papers, conference papers, and dissertations," Glogower explains. "We sometimes work in solitary bubbles, and yet we are all going through the same kinds of motions and challenges." One goal of the exhibit is to highlight aspects of community in a field where researchers are often viewed in isolation.
"What I've noticed is the serendipity of discovery," says co-curator Lori Birrell, curator of Historical Manuscripts Collections. "Researchers are in the reading room, somewhat in isolation, but then they will turn to the person next to them and say, 'hey can you help me figure this out,' or 'can you give me a hand with this?' It's that sort of personal connection that leads to the discovery."
For each research project highlighted in the exhibit, three components are presented: the historical material investigated, a reflection written by the researcher about his or her experience working with that raw material, and a final product, such as a book or paper. Research is often a tedious, messy process of grappling with voices of the past and transcribing manuscriptsa system of decoding handwriting. Nevertheless the show manages to lay out the research pieces in a coherent, visual display.
Upon entering the exhibit, visitors will find large reproductions of manuscripts lining the walls. By transcribing some of the letters displayed, visitors assume the role of detective and can actively engage in the material to acquire greater insight regarding historical events. "It's powerful to walk through handwriting," says Birrell, "to walk through time."
Past the grand entrance, the display introduces research by Claude Bragdon, known for his work in architecture. "His work is visually stunning," says Travis Johansen, exhibit manager. "The idea is to be sucked in by the colors, visually hooked into the exhibit." After a look at work by Bragdon and other architects, the show flows into research focused on Frederick Douglass and Susan B. Anthony, and then snakes around to other studies ranging from lead poisoning mobilization and pulp fiction, to Senator Mary Anne Krupsak's campaigns.
"One unifying theme is that we have collections that are just ripe for research," explains Phyllis Andrews, curator of modern literature collections. "The diversity is part of the charm." Some of the most impressive items on display include meeting minutes from a women's rights conference in 1848 and a letter from Frederick Douglass to Anna Richardson in 1846.
Researchers approach Special Collections for a variety of reasonsdissertations, independent research, archive projects, or classesand for a wider range of purpose. In fact, part of what the exhibit reveals is the non-linear nature of research and the way in which researchers working with similar historical materials will often produce very different results.
One student, reflecting on her research experience for a class, paints a picture of the past and present entwined: in one moment, she and her friends are watching TV on a Sunday afternoon, and in another, they are sitting around the kitchen table transcribing Anthony's work together. "It's such an incredible picture of modern student life that you don't think exists," Glogower says. The reflections scattered throughout the exhibit are moving; they describe the power of research in the humanities and value of interacting with rare historical manuscripts and books.
"The process of doing research compels students in particular to slow down," Birrell explains. "There is no shortcut. You can't just push a button. You have to have that tactile experience. And when you take the time to work with someone to transcribe a letter, it's not 30 seconds, it's a half an hour, forty minutes of time, but all that you experience within those moments? It's incredible."
An opening reception will take place at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The exhibit will be on view until Feb. 28, 2014 and can be viewed in the Rare Books and Special Collections Department on the 2nd floor of Rush Rhees Library, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For Saturday hours, please call the department at (585) 275-4477

Colorado chapter of ARCS presents scholarships, introduces Honoree of Year
A record 45 students received scholarships when Colorado chapter of Achievement Rewards for College Scientists (ARCS) held its annual Scholarship Awards Luncheon at Drake Center on the Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins.
The awards totaled $225,000 and went to "the best and the brightest" applicants studying the sciences, engineering and medicine at a host of Colorado colleges and universities.
In addition, chapter president Ann Brown announced that David J. Wineland, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize in physics, is the 2013-2014 Honoree of the Year. He is a Fellow at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and is a lecturer in physics at the University of Colorado Boulder.
CSU Chancellor Michael Martin welcomed the group to the university and noted that the science "pipeline" isn't as full as it needs to be. He went on to say that ARCS has bet on these bright and dedicated students as winners and they have an obligation to succeed in school, go out and practice in their field, and be engaged citizens.
Brown introduced Wineland by describing how he followed his passion for physics, which started in college. "He is a humble man with a love for 1934 Fords and believes that it is important to work with your hands to see how things are made," Brown said.
Wineland spoke of how honored he was to receive the Nobel Prize and how he and the longtime colleague with whom he shares the award, Dr. Serge Haroche, believe that the prize could also be shared with hundreds of others working in the field.
He said he enjoys meeting students all over the world and that when he speaks to them, he encourages them to pursue their careers and enjoy the process.
"It is important to choose something you like and stick with it to pursue your intellectual endeavors; never do it just to pursue the prize."
CBS4 news anchor Jim Benemann introduced each of the scholarship recipients and pointed out that they are involved in "an amazing range of pursuits including aerospace engineering, petroleum engineering, computer science, medicine and veterinary medicine.
Scholarships of $5,000 each were presented to 10 students from the University of Colorado Denver, Anschutz Medical Campus; 10 University of Colorado at Boulder students; three each from the University of Colorado Denver and the University of Colorado Colorado Springs; nine Colorado State University students; and 10 students from the Colorado School of Mines.
Since its inception in 1976, ARCS Colorado has awarded $3,254,500 in scholarships to 779 students, 80 percent of whom remain in Colorado after completing their education.
On a national basis, ARCS has presented over $87 million in scholarships to almost 15,000 deserving students. ARCS volunteers give 100 percent of dollars raised to scholarships for these outstanding students in the sciences throughout the nation.

Yanks face challenge of being first to draw Tigers' trio
New York to face Scherzer, Price, Verlander in important series at Yankee Stadium
BOSTON -- They make mistakes, too. You know, just like normal guys. Even with all that Cy Young Award hardware.
"You have to be ready when they make one," Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran said.
Problem is, they don't make many of 'em.
"You don't really think ahead," Yankees third baseman Chase Headley said. "You focus on the game at hand."
Competitors love measuring themselves against the best of the best, and that's why it's going to be an interesting week at Yankee Stadium.
After last week's acquisition of David Price from the Rays, the Tigers are the first team in history to have their league's past three Cy Young Award winners on its roster.
Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski put one of the finishing touches on an amazing day of action on Thursday's non-waiver Trade Deadline by getting Price in a three-team, five-player swap with the Rays and Mariners.
Suddenly, a rotation that was already seen as one of baseball's best in 2014 began to look like one of the best ever.
And they'll be running them out there one after another beginning Monday. In order, it'll be Max Scherzer (2013) on Monday, Price (2012) on Tuesday and Justin Verlander (2011) on Wednesday.
The Yankees catch no break on Thursday afternoon when the Tigers hand the ball to Rick Porcello, who is 13-5 with a 3.18 ERA. He's tied with Scherzer for the most victories of the group. Only Price has a lower ERA (3.11).
In a season in which the Yankees have been tested again and again by injuries and some poor performances, the Tigers present a test of a different kind -- a Cy Young rotation.
"It would be great if we missed them, but we can't avoid them," Beltran said. "Their rotation is so good. They just have a good team. It's a challenge."
Anyone intimidated?
"I would say having a veteran team probably helps," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Girardi has a bunch of experienced hitters who have seen and done pretty much everything. Only they've never seen anything like this.
"Obviously, we have a lot of respect for those guys," Headley said. "You can't get caught up in what they've done in the past. We've just got to go out and have good at-bats each and every day. That's all you can handle."
The Yankees will counter with Brandon McCarthy, Hiroki Kuroda, Chris Capuano and Shane Greene. Only Kuroda was with the Yankees on Opening Day. McCarthy, Capuano and Greene have made a total of 11 starts for their new team.
They've pitched well, going a combined 5-2 with a 3.39 ERA as the Yankees remain solidly in contention for a postseason berth.
"Guys have stepped in and given us great opportunities to win," shortstop Derek Jeter said. "This is what you need because every team is going to have injuries."
This week, the focus will be on the Tigers, and especially on Price, who will make his debut for for his new team on Tuesday night. He leads the Majors in strikeouts and innings. Scherzer is sixth in strikeouts.
Price is familiar to the Yankees, having started at Yankee Stadium twice this season already. He won both games, allowing two earned runs in 14 innings. However, he lost to the Yankees on April 17 at Tropicana Field.
His 23 career starts against the Yankees are three more than Verlander and Scherzer have between them. Scherzer has started just three games at Yankee Stadium, Verlander one.
Numbers aside, this is the group the Tigers put together to give the franchise its best chance to win the World Series. Detroit's last championship was in 1984.
"It's definitely going to be a challenge, individually and as a team," Headley said. "Anytime you face the best, it's a good measuring stick. You want to go out there and compete. That's what this game is about."

The framework of the TOEFL iBT® test is based on the principle of evidence-centered design; that is, test developers construct tasks specifically with the aim of eliciting evidence about what test takers know and can do in the target areas. When they revised the framework for the redesigned test that debuted in 2005, the creators of the TOEFL iBT test applied state-of-the-art research about the following:
- the nature of academic language ability
- innovative academic test tasks
- advanced measurement theories and models
- the test's potential impact on English language learning and teaching

Thank you all for voting for my Savory Lobster Risotto in the first round of the Integrale Rice Risotto Challenge from MarxFoods.com. I was one of the lucky 10 bloggers who received the most votes and with that I moved on to round two…sweet risotto or rice pudding. This was definitely a challenge for me as I have only made rice pudding once!
I have been thinking about this for a while now on what to make. Did I want to make a "tropical" inspired rice pudding with pineapple and mango? Then I thought oh maybe a hazelnut rice pudding would be good, but I'm pretty sure that has been done a bunch of times. I looked around my pantry and pulled out the following ingredients: chocolate hazelnut milk, cocoa powder, sugar, shredded coconut, and I also had some left over homemade salted caramel sauce. If you add up all these ingredients what do you get?? Well with the addition of flour you would be able to make some homemade samoa cookies. Why not try that combination and make rice pudding?? I don't know about you but that is one of my favorite girl scout cookies and since being diagnosed with Celiac Disease I have missed these very much.
For this recipe I had some leftover homemade salted caramel sauce. You could make your own or use whatever you normally use or have on hand.
Please visit my first post for the Intgrale Rice Risotto Challenge to read more about this fantastic rice. Not only did it work well and taste delicious in the Lobster Risotto but it is fantastic when making rice pudding!
Seeing as this makes 4 servings and it is just me right now I figured I would share and not be a pig and eat this all myself. So I shared this with neighbor Lisa whose other half is also away for a bit. She ate half of it right there, and then decided that she should probably stop and actually eat some dinner first. I hope you enjoy this as much as my neighbor did!
Samoa Rice Pudding (Serves 4)
1 cup Integrale Rice
3 cups water
1/4 cup sugar (I use Wholesome Sweeteners)
1 cup chocolate hazelnut milk (I use Pacific Natural Foods)
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup toasted coconut + 2 Tablespoons (divided)
1/4 cup caramel sauce + 2 Tablespoons (divided)
pinch of salt
Method Of Preparation:
1. Do NOT rinse the rice. You want the starch to remain, it will help thicken when the milk is added
2. In a medium sized pot add the 3 cups of water and 1 cup of Integrale Rice – bring to a boil
3. Reduce heat to medium, cook until water is absorbed (time varies so keep an eye on it and stir often to prevent sticking)
4. In a small pot add chocolate hazelnut milk, cocoa powder, sugar, 1/4 cup toasted coconut, and 1/4 cup caramel sauce, heat over medium heat
5. Once the rice has absorbed the water, add the warm chocolate hazelnut milk mixture
6. Stir and cook until liquid is mostly absorbed
7. In a small bowl add the remaining toasted coconut and caramel sauce
8. Mix well and set aside
9. Once pudding is finished serve either warm or cool – garnish with the coconut and caramel mixture and drizzle with a little caramel sauce as a garnish
Good luck to the other 9 bloggers! The DelGrosso Food Blog,ChezWhat?, The Upstart Kitchen, The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen, Food for Thought, Oh Cake, Great Outdoors Cooking, Discojing, Cookistry
(I was provided a box of Integral Rice free of charge from MarxFoods.com to try and review)

- On the other hand, it is good if titles are not unnecessarily long so that URLs have reasonable size. Especially, redundant occurences of the word "Haskell" in titles should be avoided. If a page on HaskellWiki is just named "Compilers and interpreters", it should be clear that it refers to "Haskell compilers and interpreters", so the extra "Haskell" is not needed.
- Titles should use sentence-style capitalization (see [1]). Capitalizing more words seems to be only appropriate in larger documents like books. If slashes are used to denote hierarchy, each part of the hierarchical title should be handled as if it were a title itself, i.e., its first word should be capitalized.
Currently, the page titles on this wiki adhere more or less to these guidelines.
Each page has a title which is automatically shown near the top of the page (currently centered and in red). So it doesn't make sense to put a single level 1 headline at the top of the page. (At the moment, you will see this on a few pages of this wiki. I suppose this is a legacy which comes from copying content from the old website to this wiki.)
For top-level structuring, level 1 headlines (the ones denoted by single equals signs in the source) should be used. It is semantically incorrect to use level 2 headlines for this purpose. I note that level 1 headlines are currently rather large and in a font that might not be preferable. However, the solution to this is not to refrain from using level 1 headlines but to change the stylesheet appropriately.
When editing a wiki, the bottom of the editing page has a place to put a summary. It is considered good form to put a one line comment about any changes you are making. As well, you have the capability to mark an edit as minor. Please use this only for changing format, spelling, fixing bad links or minor word re-arrangement. It should not be used when adding whole new sections, a signficant number of links, new pages or rewrites of the page.

Thanks again to Walter for the invitation to post here; I've enjoyed it and hope you've found it interesting. I don't have that much more to say. But there are some other possibilities that fit into my goal -- which is much more oriented towards increasing accuracy in allowing good claims while stopping bad ones earlier than towards many other proposals, which often are focused on, for example, reducing insurance premiums.
- Screening panels. The data are mixed [PDF] as to their effect, but I suspect that may have as much to do with different implementations as anything else. A well-balanced panel (not just doctors, of course) with a real focus on careful selection of members seems feasible and potentially useful.
- ADR & apologies. I remain interested in the MEDiC Bill , which encourages apologies when appropriate, quick mediation, and improvements in the medical system to avoid future errors. SorryWorks has some useful data on apologies.
- Daubert & summary judgment. This isn't really much of a reform as a wish that more judges would take seriously their role as a gatekeeper of scientific evidence. The Howard piece linked to earlier this morning has some useful discussion of it.
(And because I can't resist pointing it out, I just posted last night about what may well be the greatest lawsuit ever.)

TRW *RACING* brake disc for the front, type approved
Cool design, the finest of high-tech, with type approval for Germany, and all this at a rock-bottom price. Following an exhaustive testing phase and successful use on racing bikes, TRW is launching this new brake disc on the market.
- You can see straight away that this brake disc is a real head-turner. But it's not only about elegant design; this disc also delivers rock-solid performance. Its base material is a high-strength steel alloy (35 HRC). Hardened, then also thermally post-treated, this steel alloy is pretty much the ultimate in terms of strength. Even after extreme temperature stress of up to approx. 700 degrees, the brake disc stays cool and keeps its shape. Undamaged, the disc can still be used afterwards. These are the properties that make this disc so highly-prized, especially amongst the racing fraternity.
- The unusual contour is produced by cutting with high-powered lasers. The special shape ensures that the brake pads are continuously roughened, but without exhibiting significantly increased wear.
- The contour also allows an even increase and decrease in temperature, which in turn ensures that the pressure point is stable and makes even the most daring of braking manoeuvres relatively calculable
- These brake discs can be used with sintered metal, carbon or organic brake pads. They are extremely wear-resistant despite the excellent braking performance they offer.
- When changing the brake discs, be sure to change the pads as well (not included - order separately).
- The brake discs are supplied individually; for double-disc systems, please order two.
- Please read the enclosed safety instructions prior to installation.

No need to be green with envy - this gorgeous NYC II ring can easily be yours with the click of a button. Crafted from your choice of platinum or 18K vermeil over sterling silver and sporting a comfortably slender band, it positively radiates allure. No matter what option you choose, you're treated to a decadent display of chrome diopsides lined along the top with green diamond flourishes along the edges. Who's green now?
Check out the Ring Sizing Guide to find your ring size.
All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. View Gemstone Enhancements and Special Care Requirements for important information.
Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the former Soviet Union's economy has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.

Ionic Smokeless Ashtray
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Misc. Tech
If you are a smoker and those around you keep complaining, grab one of these Ionic Smokeless Ashtrays. It has claims that it will purify the air and eliminate odors and secondhand smoke. The device breaks the smoke down into tiny negatively charged particles and then dispenses with them in the dome. The ISA comes with a glass ashtray, has an on/off button, and needs 4AA batteries (not included.) At a size of 71/2 x 5 3/4 x 3 3/4-inches and with a price of $29.95, it is made of ABS plastic and, as any smoker knows, that is not the best material to have if you are sloppier than most.

Cook the Book: 'Ripe: A Cook in the Orchard'
It may have hit American bookshelves earlier this summer, but there isn't a better time than the dog days of late August to open up Nigel Slater's Ripe: A Cook in the Orchard. Slater's tome elegantly details preparations for all manner of fruits grown in and around his orchard in England. "I wanted to produce a collection of recipes that were useful and delicious rather than extraordinary and seasoned with the zeal of the evangelist. I hope I have the balance right."
Indeed, he does. Not only is it easy to prepare a full-on fruit feast without coming close to a sugar coma but Slater's mellow, easygoing voice makes for a fun and informative read. Think of Slater's book more as a guide to utilizing fruit to its greatest potential than a strict textbook of technique. His recipes often contain casual, conversational directions calling for "handfuls" of this or a "large piece" of that. This tone is perhaps a bit of an adjustment, but its vagueness encourages the cook to experiment and make each recipe his or her own.
This week, we're making the most of late summer fruits in a variety of savory dishes. First, we're turning plums into A Hot, Sweet Plum Chutney. Next, we'll pair stone fruit with pork two ways in A Salad of Summer Leaves, Cured Pork, and Cherries and Crisp Pork Belly, Sweet Peach Salsa. A Salad of Game, Grapes, and Verjuice will round out our salad repertoire, and then we'll finish things up with an elegant dish of Duck with Figs and Barolo.
Win 'Ripe: A Cook in the Orchard'
Thanks to the good folks at Ten Speed Press, we have five (5) copies of Ripe to give away. All you need to do is tell us your favorite summer fruit and your favorite way to eat it in the comments below.

Asus Showcases PC-gaming Products At Computex
Asus announced a slew of PC gaming-oriented products at Computex, including new Republic of Gamers desktop PCs, a laptop, three motherboards, a video card, and a new display. Below you see the new ROG G20 Gaming Desktop - a small-form-factor PC with an intriguing 12.5-liter case design. Asus says that a hidden airflow tunnel and an external power supply will render the system nearly silent, even when outfitted with an Intel Core i7 CPU and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 discrete graphics processor. A customizable lighting system will deliver up to 8 million color combinations in three zones in and around the chassis. In Eco Energy Mode, the G20 requires only 20W, according to Asus. It also features the ASUS-exclusive Aegis application for monitoring system performance through a user interface.
The system will sell for between $800 and $1700 when it ships in the U.S. in the third quarter.
The ROG GR8 Gaming Desktop will ship with Windows 8.1, but it will also be compatible with Valve's SteamOS and Steam Controller. Asus also plans to launch a Steam specific model once Valve is ready. The ROG GR8 will be available with Intel Core i7 processors and Nvidia GeForce GTX 750Ti. The box will have a side panel that allows for quick memory upgrades.
The ROG GR8 will also support the Miracast standard to stream video to an HDTV. Its video connections include DisplayPort and HDMI, and it will also have four USB 3.0 ports, plus two USB 2.0 ports. In addition to gigabit ethernet, the ROG GR8 will support 802.11ac Wi-Fi. It will be released in North America in the third quarter.
Asus also announced a new 15.6-inch gaming notebook with a 4K display (3840x2160 pixels). Just 19mm thick and 2.2kg in weight, the GX500 will be based on the latest Intel Core i7 processor according to Asus, along with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 860M graphics processor.
It is able to deliver 100 percent of the NTSC gamut (the sRGB standard covers about 72 percent of the NTSC gamut). Asus has revealed that the laptop will be available in North America sometime in the third quarter.
The new Asus ROG Swift PG278Q display supports Nvidia's G-Sync technology. It features a small circuit board that synchronizes the monitor's refresh rate to the video card's rendering output, eliminating visual artifacts such as stuttering. The 27-inch panel boasts a native resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and refresh rates of 60-, 120-, or 144Hz. It must be paired with an Nvidia video card to utilize G-Sync.
Asus also announced a new limited-edition water-cooled video card, featuring two of AMD's Radeon Hawaii XT-class graphics processors (R9 295X) linked to 8GB of GDDR5 memory. Dubbed the ROG Ares III, Asus says it will produce just 500 of these cards. The ROG Ares III features two of AMD GPUs, 8GB of GDDR5 memory, and a custom liquid-cooling system.
The company also announced a new AMD motherboard. The ROG Crossblade Ranger includes the SupremeFX 2014 audio technology and GameFirst III network-optimization software and it is compatible with AMD CPUs that fit in FM2+ sockets. The Crossblade Ranger takes a lot of cues from the Maximus VII range, especially in terms of color scheme, software, audio features and Ethernet. It packs 8 SATA ports, Keybot, Slow Mode, LN2 Mode, voltage check points, and even an Intel NIC.
Finally, Asus unveiled two new motherboards featuring Intel's Z97 chipset. The ROG Maximus VII Formula is an ATX motherboard, while the ROG Maximus VII Impact board is based on the smaller mini-ITX standard. Both models will come with 802.11ac Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 4.0 modules.
The Formula use the full cover body plate similar to the previous version,. The rear of the motherboard has a full cover body plate affixed at nine points around the motherboard. It uses dual SATAe (one from the chipset, one from an ASMedia controller) as well as ASUS' mPCIe Combo III on the rear IO to give access to an mPCIe slot and an M.2 (x2 and SATA) slot. Audio is from the SupremeFX solution, which uses SenseAmp to automatically adjust for headphones up to 600 ohms.
The Maximus VII Impact builds on the VI Impact ut comes with an updated power delivery daughterboard (Impact Power II), an updated audio daughterboard (SupremeFX Impact II), and mPCIe Combo IV with 802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.0. The new features include M.2 x4 as part of mPCIe Combo IV. Another new feature is the Impact CoolHub, a card connected to the motherboard with two 4-pin fan headers as well as an LN2 header for extreme overclockers.
ASUS is also showcasing at Computex two LGA1150 motherboards featuring USB 3.1 support courtesy of an ASMedia controller.
The USB 3.1 ports on ASUS' boards - codenamed Quicksilver (ATX) and Shadowcat (mini ITX), offer maximum transfer rates of 10 Gbps and up to 100W for connected devices. Shadowcat also packs two DDR3 memory slots, four SATA ports, one PCI-Express x16 slot, Gigabit Ethernet, 5.1 channel audio, and D-Sub, DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.
ASMedia USB 3.1 chipsets are available later this year.
Quicksilver also features four memory slots, one SATA Express, one M.2 and six SATA 6.0 Gbps ports, three PCI-Express x16 slots, dual Gigabit Ethernet, 7.1 channel Crystal Sound 2 audio, 802.1ac WiFi, plus DisplayPort and HDMI connectors.

Tahoe car care: How to prepare your vehicle for winter
TAHOE/TRUCKEE – When temperatures start to drop, it's time to get your car ready for winter. The right maintenance, preparation and tools can be literal lifesavers in harsh conditions.Changing your vehicles oil and filter regularly is a simple way to increase your vehicle's performance, fuel economy and engine life. Unfortunately, most of us drive in severe service conditions. This includes frequent short trips of less than 10 miles, stop and go city traffic, driving in dusty or extreme hot or cold conditions, or at sustained highway speeds.Whatever your driving conditions, frequent oil and filter changes are recommended. The reason – as an engine accumulates miles engine oil breaks down, and accelerated wear can occur and all the engine problems come with it. Remember when you change the oil, it is recommended you change the filter too. It's the engine's main line of defense against abrasion and premature wear. It's an easy way to keep your vehicles performance and avoid unnecessary costly breakdowns.
Now's the time to get your car up to speed on all of its regular maintenance. That means taking care of any fluids that may have been neglected while you were out enjoying the summer sun or going in for that 60,000-mile tune-up if you're due.Check, change and/or top off your oil, coolant, brake and transmission fluid as needed. In the case of your oil or automatic transmission, make sure you get a high-quality filter, too. It may seem like overkill to take care of all of your fluids at once, but it's worth it in the long run.Take a look at the car's brakes too. Are your rotors warped or cracked? Do they have deep grooves or are the pads worn close to their minimum clearance? Your vehicle will be experiencing harsher conditions soon, so its best to deal with any potential problems now.Make sure all your lights are working properly to ensure good visibility. If your blades are more than six months old, odds are it's time to swap them out for new ones. And don't forget to fill the washer fluid reservoir with freeze resistant wiper fluid.
Go ahead and have your tires rotated and inspected. The last thing you need in cold, wet weather is to be driving on bald or dry rotted tires. Err on the side of caution and replace any tires that are too worn.We'd recommend looking into snow (or winter) tires. Winter tires are made with special low temperature resilient rubber compounds and have deep treads that grip unplowed snow and ice. Even the best all-season tires have compounds that get more brittle as the temperature drops, and when that happens, the tires tend to grip less.The winter tire compound remains pliable when temperatures are low, retaining grip and keeping the car's safety systems, like all-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes, functioning properly.Once you've made sure everything looks good, take a look at your tire pressure. With everything up to spec, you'll get better gas mileage and your vehicle will handle and stop better.
Our most important tip is to take the time to get your car's coolant system checked. Extreme temperatures and harsh conditions can knock it out easily if it's not up to snuff. If any part of the system comes up with a shaky bill of health, its time for a repair. That means having your car's radiator pressure tested and the hoses examined for cracks or bulges. Even if everything comes up good to go under the hood, replacing your engine's coolant is cheap insurance against extreme temperatures. Over time, antifreeze can actually generate a weak electrical current, which can then cause oxidation and eventually failure inside of your coolant system.You'll want at least a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water to provide protection against below-zero temperatures. Keeping everything fresh inside will put less stress on your vehicle's hardware and save you serious money in the long run.- Doug Schroeder works Tahoe Blue Automotive.

SOUTH TWIN LAKE, Ore. - Fishing was slow, so the boat anglers began talking to each other across the smooth, blue water.
You know, the type of chatter in which fishermen engage when they are not catching anything and they want to confirm that nobody else is either.
"There's a million-dollar osprey flying around somewhere," one angler lamented.
South Twin Lake is one of the 96 eligible waters in Cabela's "Fish for Millions" contest, which started May 4 and runs through July 7. According to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, South Twin was stocked with six tagged rainbow trout that could result in prizes, three of which have already been caught.
Indeed, as that angler noted, the other three might have gone to the birds.
Fishing was reportedly hot at South Twin from opening day in late April all the way through May. But Bulletin photographer Ryan Brennecke and I struggled to get any bites at all on a bright, warm day earlier this month at the lake.
We had signed up for the Cabela's contest the night before, and we were dreaming of big cash prizes - like most of the other anglers on the lake. We tried to read all of the seemingly endless fine print before heading out.
The Fish for Millions contest includes lakes or reservoirs across 21 states and 1,500 tagged fish. The grand-prize fish could be in any one of these water bodies, but only one. To be eligible for the grand prize, participants must register online at www.cabelas.com/fishformillions, and they must do so BEFORE they catch a tagged fish.
Each of the contest reservoirs has been stocked with anywhere from six to 20 trout tagged with small but distinct markers called "spaghetti tags" protruding from their backs. The lucky registered anglers who catch those fish can claim their prizes by entering the six-digit tag number and other information on the Cabela's website. They must photograph their fish, with an eligible tag showing and still attached, before removing the tag, according to the official contest rules.
Other prizes for anglers who land tagged fish include boats, a pickup truck, sunglasses, fishing tackle, rods and reels and a shopping spree at Cabela's, a national sporting goods chain specializing in clothing and gear for hunting, fishing and camping. The most likely prize, according to the website, is a $100 Cabela's gift certificate. Anglers will be informed of what they win after the conclusion of the contest period.
In a somewhat misleading element of the contest, the "Grand Prize Fish" is worth $1 million only if it is "caught and logged in the first 10 fish by any participant in the contest," according to the Cabela's website. The value of that fish drops to $10,000 if it is "caught and logged 101st through 1,500th by any participant in the contest." In other words, chances are about 93 percent that the million-dollar fish, if caught and recorded properly, will be worth only $10,000.
Anglers have grumbled for various reasons. Bend's Patrick Douglas called me to say that he caught a tagged trout at South Twin in early May - a 5-pounder on a dry fly - and entered the tag number on the Cabela's website. An email confirmed his catch, but a later email notified him that he was disqualified for having caught the fish before the contest started.
"It's Cabela's Million Dollar Fish, buyer beware," Douglas said.
The tagged fish in South Twin are cranebows - hatchery trout that originated from wild trout in Crane Prairie Reservoir - and measure in length from 16 to 20 inches. The other Oregon water body that is part of the contest, Hagg Lake, west of Portland, was stocked with 20 tagged fish. The ODFW, in cooperation with Cabela's, tagged and stocked the fish in both South Twin and Hagg lakes.
Michele Getchell, store manager at Twin Lakes Resort, said the contest has brought an influx of anglers to South Twin, but it has also caused mass confusion.
"Most people just don't understand the contest, so we've been having to explain a lot of it over and over," Getchell said. "The misunderstanding is, they read it and they think there's a million-dollar fish in South Twin, when that's not necessarily the case. I've had, recently, people thinking there were 1,500 tagged fish in this lake."
Getchell had a succinct way of summing up the contest to make it somewhat easier to comprehend: "Every tag does get a prize. The smallest prize is the $100 gift card. (The million-dollar fish) is in a lake in this country, but there's no guarantee it's going to be caught.
"There's many pages of fine print," Getchell continued. "We had a cabin guest leave a copy (of the contest rules) in the cabin, and it was about 15 pages."
Brennecke and I hiked past several of the resort's cabins to seek out the best fishing holes on the east end of the small, 120-acre South Twin Lake. We tried worms, PowerBait and dragonfly nymphs, and Brennecke finally caught two smaller rainbows on PowerBait - no spaghetti tags. I hooked two or three fish but failed to land even one.
We watched as a huge brood fish swam back and forth past us in the clear, shallow water near the shore. Brennecke stalked it for a while, but to no avail.
Later, as we ate lunch at the resort, we watched as an older couple caught five trout on the fly from a boat just off the shore in about half an hour.
"The bugs are hatching early because of the nice weather, so the fly fishermen are actually doing fairly well," Getchell said. "It's the bait fishermen who aren't doing so well."
I had taken along my fly rod but never used it. Figures.
Brett Hodgson, a Bend-based fisheries biologist for the ODFW, said the agency will be stocking more rainbows in South Twin in the next couple of weeks.
So fishing should improve, but time is running out to land a fish with an orange Cabela's tag. One of them could be worth $1 million, but don't count on it.
One thing I know for sure: There will be no $1 million for Brennecke or I - not even a Cabela's gift certificate.
I blame the osprey.

Wendie Vegan Noir
Sneakers are everywhere so we had to do ours too, so meet Wendie. Wendie was designed this summer while we were watching the women's world cup and its named after Wendie Renard, my favorite player on the French National Team. Wendie is one of our vegan models so give it a bit more time for the sole to adjust to multi-height.
Upper: Fabric
Lining: None
Insole: Vegan
Made in Portugal
Fitting advice:
We recommend this model if your foot is regular to wide.
With TANYA HEATH Paris enjoy the comfort, diversity and style of adjustable height shoes!
More than comfort we also offer style. Instantly personalize your shoe with the click of a heel. We have hundreds of different shapes, heights, colors, and finishes to choose from so that your creation will be uniquely you.
All of our shoes and heels are sold separately. First you choose your shoe, and then you choose the heels in the exact height, color, finish and style that you want. If you are already a TANYA HEATH Paris client you can build on your collection by buying heels and shoes separately.
Like all of our shoes this model has been designed for optimal comfort. In addition to being made of soft materials and the instant relief you feel when you switch between high, medium and low heels (the multi-height promise). To add to your comfort we use foot beds made of memory foam which will cushion you while you walk.
All of our shoes feature leather soles that have been covered in rubber so you won't slip and fall. The rubber coating also helps protect you from snow and rain.
All our shoes come equipped with a heel platform where you can click your heels on and off. The heel platform is colored black or white to add to the versatility of the shoe in terms of the number of heel combinations that work well. The heel platform has been made to withstand up to 5000 heel changes and is good for a weight of up to 400kg.
Wendie looks great with any of our medium and high block heels!
Shoes are meant to be worn, and TANYA HEATH Paris offers both wardrobe staples and investment pieces so you want to take care of them!
Colored soles will wear out with use. This is not a manufacturing defect. It is simply normal wear and tear.
TANYA HEATH Paris recommends that you consult a cobbler if you have a doubt about how to take care of specific leather so you have the best professional advice.
For daily upkeep of your shoes and heels TANYA HEATH Paris recommends the following:
• Keep the leather clean by wiping with a soft dry cloth
• Store shoes away from the light as light can fade the leather color
• Don't hesitate to use commercial sprays to waterproof your shoes and leather heels
• When travelling always pack your shoes in the TANYA HEATH Paris dust bag that we provide in the box
• Painted heels can be run under water and gently wiped to keep them clean
• Be very careful with your leather wrapped heels. We recommend storing them in their pouches and not wearing them out in the mud.
• Avoid walking on grills, abrasive surfaces and splashing in puddles, even if your model is waterproof.
These conversions are only indications; they might change depending on your foot.

Eighth-seeded Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., dispatched Spain's Marcel Granollers 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, while Bouchard cruised past Germany's Angelique Kerber 6-1, 6-2.
"I'm not surprised to make by first Grand Slam quarter-final but I would not have thought I would have done it first here on clay," said Raonic. "I've always felt I could play well on clay.
"The key is not making much of a change in my game just for the clay. I've been trying to keep what I've been doing on the hardcourts.
Raonic will be the first Canadian man to play a Grand Slam quarter-final since Mike Belkin at the 1968 Australia Championships, which was renamed the Australian Open the following year. He is also the fourth Canadian man in history to reach the last eight at a major: Robert Powell (1908, 1910 and 1912 Wimbledon), William Johnston (1922-23 US Championships) and Belkin.
Bouchard is the first Canadian woman to make the quarter-finals in Paris since Helen Kelesi did it in 1989.
Raonic fired only six aces but went up an early break in each of the three sets in a contest which lasted less than two hours.
"It's been working out well for me," said Raonic. "If I can put this level of tennis together I believe that I have it in myself (to win a Grand Slam title)."
Raonic will face Serbian second seed Novak Djokovic, a winner over France's Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1, 6-4, 6-1. Djokovic beat Raonic in a Rome semifinal last month.
"I'm happy about this win, there are a lot of good things that can come from it," said Raonic. "I'm happy with my level and it's showing in my results. It's also due to all the work I've been putting in."
Earlier, Bouchard needed just 52 minutes to defeat Kerber. She'll face Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro in the quarter-finals of the women's tournament.
"I'm confident and I really believe in my skills. I believe I can play with the best girls out there," said Bouchard. "She's top 10, so I respect her. She can play some really good tennis. I was really mentally prepared for anything, for a battle.
"That mindset kind of helped me, it made me realize whatever happens I can deal with it on the court. I was really going for my shots. That was my intention and it worked."
Bouchard stormed to her victory with 30 winners and 11 unforced errors. She broke Kerber on four of seven occasions as she took revenge for a US Open second-round loss to the German last year.
Bouchard never wavered as she dominated Kerber to win her ninth straight match, the longest win streak of her career. She snapped up the opening set in 22 minutes and was equally lethal in the second as Kerber failed on the only break point she had during the match.
"I just felt good out there, I executed my game plan really well, so I'm happy with that," said Bouchard. "There are always things to improve, and I'm just going to focus on that tomorrow and try to do even better my next match."
Victory lifted her career record against top 10 opponents to 5-10. Her victims this season included No. 10 Sara Errani at Indian Wells in March and No. 8 Jelena Jankovic last April in Charleston.
Bouchard has a 13-4 record at Grand Slams and is 29-11 on the season.

Missing since 1940: engineers as business leaders. Looking back in America's history, some of the greatest business leaders were engineers. The Panama Canal construction was managed entirely by engineers like John Frank Stevens. Thomas Edison is one of the most notable American engineers and businessman. Henry Ford, Jimmy Carter, Herbert Hoover, the list goes on. Somewhere along the line, something changed. While today an impressive 20 percent of Fortune 500 CEOs have a degree in engineering, there is an opportunity for many more to become leaders.
In the 1950s and 60s there was a shift in American culture from industrial-focused careers to careers focused on business. We started to see big businesses running the economy, and this has increased as time passed. Through this transformation, engineers began to lose their positions as leaders of the great businesses they had helped to create, replaced by professional business managers. As a result, a leadership mentality was slowly stripped away from engineers and the engineering mentality started to play a lesser role in business decision making.
So what makes a good leader? According to Stephen Covey, there are four imperatives for leaders: they must inspire trust, clarify purpose, align systems and unleash talent. Clarity of purpose and system alignment are driven into every engineer on day one of their training. Can the other two skills be taught? Certainly.
Beyond these, engineers possess several other qualities that define a good leader. They are detail-oriented and analytical. While they are meticulous, they still take risks, but calculated ones. They identify the root cause of a problem and provide an economical solution. They tend to have a very realistic outlook on situations and don't add the fluff. They keep it simple. Finally, engineers are tech-savvy and understand how it all works. This provides them with a competitive advantage over other industry professionals. They lead by example and this ultimately helps them succeed.
As a trained chemist and process engineer, I understand the limitations that engineers experience today. There are several reasons why engineers tend not to actively pursue leadership roles. One reason is that they don't actively promote themselves. Engineers tend to place real value on data and accomplishments, and in order to sell oneself, he or she needs to be able to project those accomplishments in the best possible light. Engineers tend to shy away from self-promotion because they are afraid of embellishment and straying from factual information.
Secondly, if leadership doesn't come naturally, it needs to be developed from an early age. When studying engineering, leadership is simply overlooked. Pursuing an engineering degree is no easy task. The curriculum is extremely vigorous and often doesn't include business courses that trigger a business mentality. I believe there is some trepidation or hesitation to reach for leadership positions, but there is a larger issue, and it traces back to the educational system – and not just to the university level.
Change needs to start with reforming the education system. While this process takes place, we can focus our efforts on the current workforce. Engineers are often leaders of start-up and small companies. More needs to be done to help engineers to become successful entrepreneurs to advance their chances of leadership in big business. The Innovation Corps program is one step in the right direction – it will provide engineers with the means and education necessary to start companies.
Additionally, companies need to promote and place qualified engineers in leadership positions. As more engineers become CEO's and leaders in their organizations, their peers could find inspiration and look to become leaders themselves. The education reform won't happen overnight and more engineers won't become business leaders tomorrow. However, if we start from a young age, we can prep the next generation with this mentality.
The future of the engineering industry is closely tied to the future prosperity of America. Revamping the way the nation looks at engineers and the way engineers look at business leadership positions is undoubtedly a large endeavor. With everyone working together, we will start to see a change with long term effects.

Lani, hails from Miami and lives in Northampton where she thinks about
dealing with class privilege and oppression, global feminisms, queer
dance parties, dismantling racism, and heat and humidity. She is known
for a mean abortion values exploration workshop entitled "Rhymes with
schmashmortion...Can you say it?" (Well, it's actually very probing,
open, and thoughtful as it draws a lot from an intergroup
dialogue-based workshop model.) Most days she can be found at the Civil
Liberties and Public Policy Program (CLPP)
where she works as Operations Assistant. Her past roles at CLPP have
included Student Conference Coordinator of the 20th and 21st annual Reproductive Justice Conference, "From Abortion

work focuses on operationalizing justice-based values through
organizational policies and procedures, she is also particularly proud
of coordinating the 2008 Franklin County Community Coalition for Teens
conference, "Spark Thought, Create Change!" and other local youth work.
Lani hates bananas, but enjoys bike riding, fresh vegetables, road
trips, hand-me-downs, and thunderstorms. In 2008, Lani finished her
thesis (an oral-history based analysis of The Doula Project and Translate Gender) and graduated from Hampshire College. She is also a member of the PEP Young Women's Leadership Council.
