Scuderia Corsa Expands Its Racing Efforts To Run In The 102nd Indianapolis 500
ST. PETERSBURG, FL (March 9, 2018) – After much success in the IMSA SportsCar Championship, North American Endurance racing, and 24H of Le Mans, Scuderia Corsa is expanding its racing efforts to the open-wheel world of Indy car racing.
Team owner, Giacomo Mattioli, believes there is no better place to introduce Scuderia Corsa to Indy racing than at the legendary Indianapolis 500.
"It is an honor to compete at the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. To be a part of this great racing heritage and tradition is something I always envisioned for Scuderia Corsa and running across the yard of the bricks this year is a thrill. I am excited to be partnering with Bobby Rahal and Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, such an outstanding and established team, as well as having veteran IndyCar series driver, Oriol Servia, onboard."
For Bobby Rahal co-owner of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, this partnership is one he is looking forward to.
"I am very pleased we were able to come to an agreement with Giacomo Mattioli for Scuderia Corsa's first effort in open wheel racing in the United States. Scuderia Corsa has a very successful track record in sports car racing and Giacomo's success in the retail automotive marketplace is well known. And it goes without saying that we are very pleased to have Oriol back with us for our fifth Indy 500 together. He brings a lot of talent to the program and I have no doubt that together with Graham and Takuma we are going to have three very strong entries for the Indy 500."
Official practice and qualifying for the Indy 500 begins May 11th through May 19th, 2018. The 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500, Sunday May 27, 2018, will begin with live coverage on ABC starting at 12:00 pm ET. For more updates, stay tuned to Scuderia Corsa social media channels.

Warning: Spoiler Alert
Before I even started grade-school my parents would ship me off to the local movie theater each Saturday afternoon, mainly to get rid of me for a couple of hours. Although some of the movies were kid-oriented, more often than not the studios produced these pictures for an adult-audience, some of the biggest films of the early sixties as I followed along the best I could. (I clearly remember walking around the house for days, shouting "I Am Spartacus," until my father threatened to duct tape my mouth shut.) As a side-effect of those excursions, I developed a love for movies that remains with me today.
Many of the movies I saw at that age have faded into the shrouded corners of my memory, sometimes evoked if I see the film again. However, one film and one character made a huge impression on me, "Dr. No," the movie that brought James Bond portrayed by Sean Connery to the big screen. I left the theater that day awestruck by the movie, but more so by Connery's performance as 007, a hero that personified the meaning of COOL. A man that could take a slug from his Vodka Martini take out the bad guy and make out with incredibly sexy women, without mussing his hair.
From that point onward for the next few years I'd see the new James Bond adventure the weekend the movie premiered, entertained by movies like "From Russia With Love" and "Goldfinger" among others. Although a boatload of stories remained to be told, Connery decided to quit at his prime and in my eyes "the magic" in the Bond films vanished. Roger Moore, paled in comparison and Timothy Dalton, wasn't even in the same area code as Connery. Although I've enjoyed Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig in other vehicles, I've never seen them as 007. Mainly because I concluded long ago I'm not a James Bond fan, I'm a "Sean Connery As James Bond Fan."
Not long after Connery started his run as 007, a television show debuted on the BBC, that went on to become a global phenomenon even thought it's debut drew very few viewers. The series had the misfortune of premiering on November 22, 1963 the day that American President John F. Kennedy got assassinated, however it was rebroadcast the following Friday and entranced England. That series, "Doctor Who" with William Hartnell in the title role, became a British Institution and 51-years later, the show remains as popular as ever having gone through far more incarnations of The Doctor, than James Bond.
It would stand to reason that being a huge fan of science-fiction and fantasy genre, that I've watched the adventures of The Doctor for decades, however even with many friends being big fans of the series the thought of watching the show never appealed to me. Ironically, the same guy that stopped enjoying the James Bond movies, after the first actor to portray the super-spy left the role, it took the actor that show-runner Steven Moffat chose to portray the twelfth Doctor for me to start watching the series. So I can now say I'm not a Doctor Who fan, I'm a "Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who Fan."
Peter Capaldi first appeared on my radar this past summer, portraying Cardinal Richelieu in the BBC series "The Musketeers," a series we recapped. He captured the screen and dominated each scene he appeared in as the advisor to the King of France, a man who went to great lengths to see his own agenda become reality. Though a villain in every sense of the word, the Cardinal commanded respect and proved himself as a worthy adversary. So when it came to my attention that Capaldi would soon debut as The Doctor, I naturally chose to see him in the role that I previously knew of only by word of mouth.
To prepare myself to enter The Doctor's universe, I watched two BBC Productions; the first an entertaining and poignant film entitled "An Adventure Of Space And Time," which recreated the series creation and William Hartnell's portrayal of The Doctor, from 1963-1966. I also watched the 5oth Anniversary Special, "The Day Of The Doctor" that featured three incarnations of The Doctor, Matt Smith, David Tennant and John Hurt as the War Doctor. Though realizing it probably was an amazing episode for long time fans, and impressed by the special effects, the story most of the time lost and confused me. In retrospect, I've come to understand just how significant the tale is.
There were no such problems as I watched the first episode of Season Eight, entitled "Deep Breath," perhaps the fact that it was an origin story made it easier to follow. However the main appeal of the episode to me, was the performance as The Doctor, a part as far removed from Cardinal Richelieu as possible. As viewers got to know the Cardinal, it became quite easy to realize which direction he'd take in any situation. The Doctor however is an incredibly mercurial character, he's liable to go from one extreme to the other in a matter of seconds and Capaldi nailed it from the jump.
Moffat's described The Doctor as a restless sort, who bumbles into situations and reluctantly rectifies them. He doesn't want the responsibility that a hero shoulders, but he ends up coming through in the end, most times. He's got an extremely high opinion of himself and an ego to match, Moffat's also said The Doctor's perhaps a bit insane, or possibly stark-raving mad. Capaldi embodied those characteristics throughout the eighth season and he'll display them again on Christmas night, as BBC America broadcasts the Christmas Special, "The Last Christmas."
I remember at what point in that first episode, when I realized I'd be making The Doctor a regular part of my Saturday nights. The Doctor and his companion Clara, wound up in Victorian England, as The Doctor was coming to grips with his regeneration. He wore an old-fashioned men's night-shirt and left the house of his host, ending up in an alley rummaging through the garbage that surrounded him. Suddenly he found an old broken mirror on the ground and tried to make it clear enough to see his reflection. At that point, a vagrant holding a bottle entered the alley and purposely made noise to alert The Doctor that he had company, that started the following conversation:
Doctor: It's Bitey.
Vagrant: Bitey?
Doctor: The Air is Bitey, it's white, mighty.
Vagrant: It's Cold.
Doctor: That's right! It's cold, I knew there was a thing for it. I need um, I need clothes, that's what I need. And a big long scarf. No, that would look stupid. Have you ever seen this face before? (pointing to himself)
Vagrant: No.
Doctor: Are you sure?
Vagrant: Sir, I've never seen that face before.
Doctor: That's funny, because I know that I have. You know, I never know where these faces come from, they just pop up. (Vagrant starts to distance himself from The Doctor) Faces like this one, look. (Grabs Vagrant by the arm and takes him to the mirror) Look, look, it's covered in lines, but I didn't do the frowning. Did you ever look in the mirror and say to yourself, I've seen that face before?
Vagrant: Yes.
Doctor: When?
Vagrant: Well every time I look in the mirror.
Doctor: Yes, yes, but my face is fresh on. (Vagrant distances himself even further from The Doctor.) Why this one though? Why'd they choose this one? It's like I'm trying to tell myself something, like I'm trying to make a point. But what is so important, that I can't tell myself what I'm thinking?
Vagrant: Uh, uh….
Doctor: Well I'm not just being rhetorical here, you can join in.
Vagrant: Well, I don't like it.
Doctor: What?
Vagrant: Your face.
Doctor: Well I don't like it either. It's alright up until the eyebrows, but then it goes haywire. Look at these eyebrows, they're attack eyebrows. You can take bottle tops off with these!
Vagrant: They're mighty eyebrows indeed sir!
Doctor: They're cross, crosser than the rest of my face. They're independently cross, they'll probably secede from the rest of my face and set up their own independent state of eyebrows. That's Scotch, have I gone Scottish?
Vagrant: You are definitely Scotch sir. I can hear it in your voice.
Doctor: Oh my, good I'm Scottish. Wait….I'm Scotch, Scotch, I'm Scottish. I can complain about things. I can really complain! Give me your coat.
Vagrant: (looking scared) No.
Doctor: But I'm cold.
Vagrant: But I'm cold.
Doctor: Well no sense in our both being cold, give me your coat. Wait, shut up, shut up. I've missed something, something that was here. (Rummages through trash, then grabs a newspaper, camera focuses on article about another victim of spontaneous combustion.) Here's what I saw, spontaneous combustion!
Vagrant: What kind of Deviltry is this?
Doctor: They'll probably blame it on the English.
It was a brilliantly acted scene and it displayed a lot of the qualities that Moffat said The Doctor possessed. The stories told throughout season eight, showed Capaldi reveling in becoming The Doctor and things like Daleks, Cyber-Men and the Tardis, became more than just meaningless phrases, that I heard from friends, or read about in articles.
I'm pretty certain, that I'll remain onboard the Tardis, as long as Capaldi stars in the series. Whether I remain with the show after the actor gives way to yet another replacement, I'll make that decision when that time arrives. At that point, I'll determine if I've become a fan of the series, or remain a "Peter Capaldi as Doctor Who Fan."
The Doctor Who Christmas Special, The Last Christmas, Debuts Christmas Night at 9:00 pm on BBC America.

|This article is about a/an monster in Chouriki Sentai Ohranger.
Bara Micron (バラミクロン Bara Mikuron) is a centipede-theme Machine Beast of the Machine Empire Baranoia.
Character History
Bara Micron was released on Earth by Kaiser Buldont and Multiwa as their herald for the final conquering of Earth. Appearing in the dark of night without no one except Mikio noticing, it begins to distribute Dark Particles throughout Japan, affecting everything touched by them from household machines to U.A.O.H.'s Ohranger base in the Japan Alps! When it appears in giant form to cause chaos as Earth's defenses weaken and Baranoia begins an all-out attack, the Ohranger use OhBlocker and later Red Puncher to try and take down the massive monster. However due to it's ability to separate itself, it is able to perform multiple strikes against both targets before using Dark Particles to shut down and capture the mecha, likewise leading to the Ohranger base being destroyed in an attack by Buldont's forces. Due to being struck by the Dark Particles, the Ohranger likewise lose their connection with their Super-Power and lose their ability to transform.Ep. 45: Destruction!! The Super-Powered Base
As the Ohranger continue to try and stand against Baranoia as Earth's fate becomes closer to doomed, KingRanger attempt to fight against Bara Micron as well, only to be likewise struck by Dark Particles, destroying his means to transform as well. With matters entering into a desperate situation, Dorin decides to use her power to pray for assistance from the Dorin home-world; her devotion and power ultimately releases a tetrahedron-shaped crystal which she uses to begin to restore Riki and the Ohranger's Super-Power, as well as uses her own Super-Power to instantly destroy Bara Micron.Ep. 46: Earth's Final Day!!
to be added
- It's main ability is the release of "Dark Particles", special particles devised by Baranoia to disrupt machinery struck by it, forcing them under their control; likewise it has the ability of nullifying Super-Power as a means to weaken those who use it such as the Ohranger and KingRanger. In combat, it's main ability is to separate itself into multiple smaller bodies, allowing for it to elude and perform simultaneous attacks against multiple opponents.

Jungle Book makes for a terrific update of a Disney classic; Shah Rukh's excellence isn't matched by Fan's script.
The Jungle Book ****
Dir: Jon Favreau
Starring: Neel Sethi, (voices of) Ben Kingsley, Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Scarlett Johansson, Lupita Nyong'o, Christopher Walken
The animated 1967 version of The Jungle Book (the last movie that Walt Disney personally oversaw before his passing) is my absolute favourite Disney animated film. That movie is an absolute joy and still brings a smile to my face whenever I see it as do its fantastic songs. So I wasn't convinced by Disney's decision to make a live-action update of the film, despite its fairly decent track record in that department (101 Dalmations, Maleficent, Sleeping Beauty).
However, I am glad to say that director Jon Favreau has managed to exceed all expectations. Calling the movie live-action is a bit of a misnomer as apart from newcomer Neel Sethi as the man-cub Mowgli everything else in the movie is computer generated. Favreau and his team of CGI artists create a hyper-reality in their depiction of the Indian jungle and its animal residents, adding muscle and sinew to the tiger Shere Khan, the panther Bagheera, the bear Baloo, the python Kaa, the wolves Akela and Raksha and the rest of the fauna and flora. The movie takes its cue from the 1967 screenplay rather than the episodic nature of the original Kipling stories as it follows Bagheera's attempts to return reluctant wolf-boy Mowgli to the "man-village" to save him from a murderous Shere Khan but it is not a slave to it, adding the Kipling tale of the water-truce, for instance. The new version is also more intense and more of an action-adventure as the CGI "reality" allows for a greater sense of danger (though nothing too scary for the young 'uns) while the animated version was more of a musical comedy. This new version isn't completely song-less as you do get its renderings of those two wonderful songs, "The Bare Necessities" and "I Wan'na Be Like You" (I think there would have been rioting if they hadn't been included in some way) and, somehow, Favreau makes it work despite musical ditties not necessarily being in line with the flavour of the update.Neel Sethi is charming and energetic though, perhaps, necessarily limited in his range of emotions by having to act primarily against a green screen and with stand-in puppets. Bill Murray is perfectly cast as the voice of the lazy Baloo as is Ben Kingsley as the gruff but caring Bagheera while Christopher Walken makes for an effectively sinister gigantopithecus (a giant orangutan) by way of Brando's Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. However, while Idris Elba is fine as Shere Khan he does pale in comparison to the brilliant George Sanders in the 1967 version - I'd rather have Shere Khan sounding like royalty than an East End thug. Scarlett Johansson, though, could have done more with the hypnotic allure of her sibilant Kaa (but do watch out for her seductive version of the song "Trust In Me" as it plays over the end credits).
If you loved the 1967 animated version you won't be let down by this. A great time out for the whole family.
Cut to chase: Does its revered animated predecessor proud.
Fan ***
Dir: Maneesh Sharma
Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Waluscha DeSousa, Deepika Amin, Yogendra Tiku, Shriya Pilgaonkar , Sayani GuptaBox-office success aside, Shah Rukh Khan's oeuvre has largely been disappointing since his 2007 one-two punch of Om Shanti Om and Chak De! India. Perhaps the superstar has realised this himself and has therefore decided to take on more challenging fare. Whatever the reason, it would be difficult to find a more testing or esoteric or meta a project than Fan, a film about an obsessed groupie, Gaurav Chandna and the object of his obsession, movie superstar Aryan Khanna. Both Gaurav and Aryan are essayed by Shah Rukh Khan and, with the help of some fine CGI, he manages to create two distinct personas. Even more creditable, he allows for Aryan to be modelled extremely closely on the real-life Shah Rukh. Since Aryan isn't necessarily depicted in the most flattering of lights (and brings into question his relationship with his fans) Shah Rukh's willingness to take on this film is more than surprising and more than courageous. So kudos to him and may he continue to experiment and challenge himself. However, while Shah Rukh is to be lauded for his bravery and for his knowing and subtle performance(s), the movie itself ultimately lets him down. The first half of Fan is finely realised with its slowly rising creepiness as it begins to dawn on us that this is not going to be a merry romp and that something may not be quite right with Gaurav. However, post-interval the movie escalates from one improbability to the next till one can no longer suspend disbelief. This is a pity because the subject matter and Shah Rukh deserved better. If only the second half of the movie had managed to match the excellence of the first.
The movie itself doesn't deserve more than two and a half stars but Shah Rukh's gutsy choice and the meta-textual subject matter merit the extra half star.
Cut to chase: Shah Rukh's courage isn't matched by the film's script.

In our previous blog, we discussed the main aspects of LTPAC operations that were not likely to change in the event of a new or modified Republican healthcare plan: namely quality of care and privacy laws at a state and federal level. Another aspect that is not likely to change is that of the current LTPAC technology standards.
Due to the overarching goal of LTPAC facilities, healthcare providers, and patient advocates to keep standards as high as possible to ensure quality care, technology will continue to play a crucial role in LTPAC daily and ongoing operations.
Transitions: Risky Business
Many proposed improvements to the technology standards are going to affect the transitions of care process, one of the riskiest times for patients as they transfer between facilities and/or healthcare providers.
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology points out that as EHR adoption and interoperability requirements continue to advance in the acute care and ambulatory care sector, it will be increasingly important for LTPAC providers to adopt EHRs that have the capability of exchanging standardized clinical data with care partners. While each facility, hospital, or physician's office may be in compliance with all IT standards, many currently exist as their own virtual island and do not readily allow access to patient files by outsiders. Many also might lack a standard protocol for transmitting information from one facility to another in a timely manner.
New technology standards will likely standardize the way patient records are created, presented, stored, and transferred, thus ensuring uniformity and removing confusion between facilities as well as successfully send care summaries during transitions of care to all members of the care team.
Increased Efficiency, Steady Profits
One of the other elements of American healthcare that will not likely change is Medicare coverage for the elderly. As more and more Americans begin to enter the age in which they are eligible for Medicare coverage, LTPAC facilities may be forced to accept lower reimbursements than with private insurance companies. However, they will still have the obligations to their stakeholders to achieve and demonstrate as high of quality outcomes as before and to maximize their financial performance.
For this reason, it will be crucial that they utilize a software platform that is not just interoperable within their healthcare network, but with others as well. Additionally, this software must be able to successfully integrate with their revenue cycle and financial management platform or offer one of their own, thus allowing financial managers to monitor performance as close to real-time as possible.
Regardless of which political party holds the most sway, technology will continue to advance and it is essential that your LTPAC facility has a competitive edge. For more information about technology requirements for LTPAC facilities, please contact a LINTECH representative.

Class-combinatorial model categories
We develop an extension of the framework of combinatorial model categories. The category of small presheaves over large indexing categories and ind-categories are the basic examples of non-combinatorial model categories embraced by the new machinery called class-combinatorial model categories.
The definition of the new class of model categories is based on the corresponding extension of the theory of locally presentable and accessible categories developed in the companion paper, where we introduced the concepts of class-locally presentable and class-accessible categories.
In this work we prove that the category of weak equivalences of a nice class-combinatorial model category is class-accessible. Our extension of J. Smith's localization theorem depends on the verification of a cosolution-set condition. The deepest result is that the (left Bousfield) localization of a class-combinatorial model category with respect to a strongly class-accessible localization functor is class-combinatorial again.

Karen McCullagh, former solicitor in Belfast (she escaped) and PhD student at the University of Manchester, spoke about private and sensitive data within the UK and the European Union. It's a political (as opposed to thesis) interest of mine (1 | 2), and a core concern for Digital Rights Ireland.
Karen started off with showing the great ACLU private data animation, Pizza Palace (haven't seen it in a while, but I want to use it in a class some day. Well done Karen – who even integrated it perfectly into the content of the presentation without even blinking at a strange computer setup). She gave a quick history and introduction to private and sensitive data in Europe, and told us about her project.
The project is a very ambitious one, including interviews, a large-scale telephone survey (conducted by the information commissioner, but with a lot of analysis by Karen), surveys of bloggers…and a lot of legal and statistical analysis and reflection added to the pot. It was interesting to hear Karen's depiction of the tensions between her background (having studied law) and her current location (in a social statistics department).
Issues raised in the presentation and questions included:
- the difference between 'protected' sensitive data and 'new' categories (and the level of public concern of disclosure of the new categories, including biometric, clickstream, etc)
- the fact that 15% of the surveyed bloggers also kept a diary (and wondering how this compares to the full population's diary-keeping habits
- how Karen dealt with the expert interviews and their concern for anonymity (with helpful suggestions from Helen of the OII
- the interesting way in which her snowball sample literally snowballed, with YouTubers making videos to encourage bloggers to do the survey
The final part of the presentation was a discussion of a proposed working definition of private data (moving away from categories of sensitive data). The definition, which I will reproduce when I get the full text, incorporates various elements and looks quite similar to an ECHR decision or indeed a convention provision (albeit more detailed) and is (at first glance) a better approach than the current EU directive. Some of the responses have indicated that there needs to be a presumption of privacy (i.e. not having private data as a subset of general data), and Karen has received a lot of voices expressing concern over national security exemptions. This is a complex legal issue but also a timely intervention in a politically crucial debate.

System Concept & Description
Our system consists of three main parts: cloud-based data collation software, an advanced documentation system, and multiple tablet-sized touch interfaces available throughout the space.
All Hands Active would be fitted with many small cameras and microphones, which would be integrated within the space's infrastructure. In addition to taking pictures and recording voices, the cameras would be linked with facial recognition software to recognize individual members. Chips would be embedded in the tools and materials, which in turn could be interpreted by a network of sensors integrated throughout the space. The gathered information would let the system interpret which tools and materials were being used by each user at any point. The system would also record location information at a fidelity much higher than what is available today.
All of the data gathered from our advanced documentation system would be sent to cloud-based data collation software, which would interpret it and add the data to member profiles and to project profiles, which would be linked together, so that members would be associated with the projects that they had completed.
The documentation system would be controlled by users through touch-screen tablets that would be scattered throughout the space. These tablets would also sense location, keeping track of where users were in the space, as well as showing users projects associated with different areas of the space. The tablets would also be the primary interface by which members would access project and member profiles.
All of the system's components would work together to help members more easily document their projects and activities. Once these data were being collected, they could then be organized, displayed, and ultimately used to facilitate social interaction between members, meeting all of the identified needs for this space.
Demo Description
For the demo, we wanted to show two users effectively using all the parts of the system, and show how it helps them in their tasks at All Hands Active.
In our demo, our first user, Sylvia, enters All Hands Active and uses a tablet interface to access the recording part of our system, and sets the system to take photos of her automatically as she works on a project. Once she has completed her work, she puts down the tablet and walks away. A second user, Jeff, enters, and after some deliberation about what to work on—a common problem at All Hands Active—uses the tablet interface to find projects associated with different physical spaces inside All Hands Active. He settles on Sylvia's project, is able to get basic information about her project via the tablet interface, and is also able to access Sylvia's maker profile. Soon after, Sylvia re-enters the scene. Armed with information about her from her profile, Jeff introduces himself and the two quickly are able to start working together on a project.
To create this demo, we used two cameras with flexible GorillaPod brand tripods as decorative props (they are non-functional in our demo), an Arduino kit as a decorative prop (also non-functional, representing an in-progress project), and a series of many linked prototype screens that are displayed on two different iPads, representing the portions of the interface that Jeff and Sylvia access. We created these prototype screens in Adobe Fireworks, using that application's linking capabilities to join screens together. We also had to write some custom HTML and JavaScript in order to make the prototype auto-advance at certain points, and to display more smoothly on the iPads. We also took photos of one of our demo participants, Sylvia, working at the same work table we use in the demo, to make it appear as if the system was taking photos of the user in the actual space she was in during the demo.
Our demo captured most of the user-focused aspects of the system and covered the ways that users would interact with the system to accomplish various tasks, such as browse through projects, view member profiles, and record photos and other information for projects. This was our primary intent. The aspects of the system that were not covered by our demo were the technical pieces of the recording. We did not make any functioning system to record photos or to link them to online profiles in a cloud-based service, as this was beyond the scope of this class; however, we believe that we sufficiently demonstrated what would be required to build such a system. Another aspect that our demo did not simulate was the idea of smart tools and materials, which we hope will be available in 5–10 years, but which are not easily accessible now. Our demo functioned well as a simulation of the user experience, but not as a fully functional prototype of our system.

Where do I even start?
Well, it's my inner instinct and logic to prefer food that does not contain chemicals (man made), toxins, pesticides, hormones, or any other synthetic additives, nor food that has been meddled with (genetically). I don't need any books, studies, magazines or movies for that strong inner feelings. Yet, better know and be educated, informed, than not…
Lately I have read Robyn O'Brien's book "The Unhealthy Truth: How Our Food Is Making Us Sick and What We Can Do About It", who has started AllergyKids.com.
According to the book, most of Europe and Great Britain, Australia, Japan, and even Russia demand the clear labeling of food products that contain genetically engineered ingredients. Several African countries even refuse to accept genetically modified ("GM") grain as food aid. According to Reuters, Egypt just announced that it won't be importing or exporting any GM foods.
Today I have also watched the film "The Future of Food" that has reinforced and better illustrated my gut feeling. I am already waiting to watch the much talked about film "Food, Inc.".
It seems that while the world around us has long begun to understand the meaning of contaminated food and its consequences, here in the US, people are either too sleepy, or ignorant, or affixed and have their mind set, that the FDA or big agri-businesses or the government are taking real good care of the people and the food they are allowing us to eat.
That's right, nobody is forcing us to buy GM food, or do they? When we try to buy any box of any food, and read the list of ingredients, do we know which was GM'd ? Do I know if the corn flour, the soy or any other grain was modified?
No, I don't. In fact, I just learned about genetically engineered sugar beets in Kellogg's products:
"Organic Consumers Association and allies sent a letter to Kellogg's on June 12, requesting that Kellogg's not use sugar from genetically engineered sugar beets in its products or face a consumer boycott.
Kellogg's has responded, claiming that US consumers do not care if their food contains Genetically Engineered (GE) food or not."
So do I have any free choice in choosing the unmodified foods? not if I can't identify them.
D'you hear the name Monsanto before? I bet that once you start to read a little more about any of those topics above, "Monsanto" will introduce itself right out of those articles you'll be reading, because it is one of (if not the largest) multinational agricultural biotechnology corporation that has produced herbicides, genetically engineered seeds, and develops and markets Bovine growth hormones, just to name a few.
And guess what? Monsanto is fighting hard and lobbying with all its might (and mighty it is) to keep us consumers in the dark. It is fighting against labeling any of the GM foods as such. The Europeans, concerned about the food they eat, chose mandatory labeling of GM foods and ingredients. Here, Monsanto and big $$$ are still winning, and GM foods aren't labeled. Read more about GM foods.
The more I dived deep into the food industry info, I became aware of the knotted political ties that thrive behind the scene of the food industry, the ones between government, pharma- business and agriculture business. I also became aware of the potential role of the chemical toxins added to the foods in the development of autism, allergies, asthma, and ADHD.
What is one to do in the meantime?
- read, learn, watch the movies, get educated, and pass on the word.
- try to avoid processed foods, or at least read the labels and make a rational decision based on what you know when choosing that product;
- try to consume organic food products, or at least the basic ones, such as milk, and eggs.
- try to purchase locally grown fruits, vegetables, dairy and support your local farmers.
- take an extra step and write to your local newspaper editor;
- take an even bigger step and write to your legislators (type your zip code to find your officials);
It'll probably be long before the labeling of GM food will become a must, or maybe even banned, it'll take some time before government will subsidize organic farms. But we shall overcome someday.

Snooze is located in the Hillcrest neighborhood of San Diego. I didn't realize it at the time, but it is right next to D Bar, where I met up with my SOAS teammates and got my picture take with the (celebrity) head chef, Keegan Gerhard.
No, I didn't challenge him to a bake off. 🙂
I digress- we're here to talk about PANCAKES!
Snooze offers quite the variety of pancakes- check out their menu– and I had a tough time deciding which I wanted. The Pineapple upside down cake came highly recommended, so I included that in my order, along with a cinnamon roll and caramel apple pie. I could hardly wait for them to arrive!
There was a little mix up in the kitchen and I got the pancake of the day (oatmeal chocolate chip) instead of the cinnamon roll, but I was too hungry to send it back. I could go for a little chocolate anyhow:-) The other two were just as I had ordered and OH SO GOOD! It seems like the chef at Snooze focuses on having a really good buttermilk batter, to which he/she can make tiny additions to blow it out of the water. The caramel apple had slices of apple on top, a caramel sauce, and this outta control marscapone whipped cream. The pancake that stole the show though was the pineapple upside cake.
The pancake had these tiny pineapple chunks that were mini versions of what you'd get in the can- they didn't seem to be the "crushed pineapple" though. The pineapple was complemented by the cinnamon butter and creme anglaise on top. YUM.
As I sat and enjoyed my delicious breakfast, I couldn't help but to think back on a pancake I had made before my trip:
It was my own version of pineapple upside down cake! Sure, I didn't have the compound butter or the creme anglasise (um, but definitely want to next time!) but I thought my pancakes tasted pretty darn good.
I caramelized the pineapple with some brown sugar and butter (and probably would have added some rum to set on fire if Bill had been around)- which I think took these to the next level.
My recipe is a little involved (and because I didn't take good notes while I was making them over a week ago)- so feel free to make additions/changes as necessary. I think I'd make some swaps next time- i.e. use crushed pineapple in the batter rather than cutting the chunks, and use more pineapple juice.
Brown sugar + Pineapple is an EXCELLENT combination!
Dry Ingredients:
1/2 cup cake flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup dry oats
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
dash of cinnamon
Wet Ingredients:
1 individual serving of pineapple Greek Yogurt (I actually used the Publix brand that had the stir-in fruit)
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1/2 cup milk + more if batter is too thick
1 egg
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 TBS honey
Other additions:
1/2 cup chopped pineapple cubes (or more)- to be stirred in to the batter
1 TBS Brown sugar + 1 TBS butter warmed in a saute pan. When it is a goopy mixture, stir into the batter.
For the topping:
Sauté 1/2 cup pineapple chunks with 1 TBS butter and 1 TBS brown sugar

Why Does Batman Carry Shark repellant?
Plume Books 2012
288 pages–About $15
I really enjoyed Brian Cronin's last book Was Superman a Spy? And I was looking forward to this in a big way. Well, so much for that.
I generally have had good luck with books about comics. Some of them have been outstanding (Between the Panels) and others almost as good. But when I got this one in my Amazon order, I had been looking forward to it for a while, and had high hopes. They were immediately dashed as I leafed through this and found little more than a book of lists. While some of the lists are fleshed out with brief passages of information on the topic or specific items on the list, that is as informative as this book gets. Some of the lists are in no way comprehensive. Many are by creators in the industry. While the opinion of a popular and successful colorist in the industry on who he thinks the great colorists out there are is interesting, it is hardly worth the price of admission.
Some of these lists are the "Top something of something" type lists, others are just arbitrary and kind of stupid. The list of other heroes Wolverine has popped his claws into is not worth the effort to write, let alone to read it.
The text has some accompanying cover shots and other pictures, but the low-ish quality of the printing makes these unsatisfying. While the contributions of some of today's top creators are an interesting selling point, I'm sorry to say that this is as far as my interest went. Once I read this, I felt a little ripped off, especially given Cronin's previous book.
I don't like being negative on this kind of thing, but I found this very disappointing. If you like his contributions over at CBR, I can still heartily recommend the previous book, but give this one a miss.

July's been a busy month for us (of course, what month isn't nowadays?!?). I had my ACLS recertification class, which may not seem like much, but trying to fit in the hours of study that I felt that I needed when trying to balance my family's needs and my sleep needs... it was a challenge. Jason and I are thinking about finding a bigger house now while interest rates are lower, so we've been doing lots of online research and going house hunting with our realtor (and the boys too sometimes!). And of course there's all the normal daily stuff to do still. When I was complaining about finding the time to study for ACLS, one of my coworkers suggested doing it in my free time. I'm not sure if they were joking or not, but I'm excited to find this free time. If any of you know where I can find it, let me know. :)
(note the Star Wars bib- I love it!)
I LOVE these boys. Sometimes I am just in total awe that they are ours. I frequently find myself telling people that while I knew I'd enjoy being a parent, I didn't realize that I'd enjoy it this much. And that is all because of these three little munchkins being the amazing little spirits that they are. They are so much fun to hang out with!! They make me laugh to the point where my stomach hurts. They bring tears to my eyes with their sweetness when they crawl into my lap and their tears when they take a tumble. They make my heart smile when I see them interact with each other and with Jason.
(Jenson, Sidney, Elliott)
And this picture is completely representative of our lives these days- three babies going in three different directions! Each boy is crawling around like crazy and amazing us with his speed. If you turn your head for a second, you'll miss them crawling out of the room! What I love, though, is to watch them come crawling back to me and trying to crawl up into my lap when they've been away "exploring".
(Jenson, Sidney, Elliott)
And we're into exploring new things all the time, like the dishwasher...
(Jenson, Elliott)
... and the Tupperware cabinet. Seriously- what is it with Tupperware that is so appealing to babies?!? If I open that door to the cabinet that we keep it in, it's almost like a homing beacon has been triggered and soon I'll have three munchkins making a beeline to be the first one to yank stuff down from it!
(Elliott, Sidney, Jenson)
We had a pretty gentle Fourth of July, all things considered. Jason woke up with the boys in the morning and was getting their diapers changed and pajamas off when I walked into the nursery. Our plans of taking them all to Harmony Ranch for a pool party had to be altered when Jason put Jenson into my arms and said, "Feel how hot that kid is!" Yep, the poor little dude was running quite the fever. Bring on the Tylenol, bring on the tepid baths... Most likely he was fighting off some virus, so we ended up employing our "divide and conquer" plan of attack. I took Sidney and Elliott to the pool party, and Jason stayed home with Jenson to make sure that he got the TLC (i.e. naptime!) that he needed. Sid and Elliott loved the pool (these kids love swimming) and got to be doted on by our foster family (my dear friend Jen's family- they've been part of my California family since I moved here in 2004). Jenson got to have one-on-one time with Jason and took a great nap. All things considered, it was a lovely, peaceful holiday day for the Deen family!
Sidney enjoying the pool with Grandma Robyn
Elliott chilling with Makayla while Sidney continues to hang out with Robyn
As we're getting even more mobile, we're getting ourselves into some crazy positions. Seriously- it looks like Elliott is working on doing some center splits.
And Jenson's doing some stretching that reminds me of those long ago days when I used to be on the track team in high school.
Of course, no matter how skilled we are getting at moving around, we have demonstrated that we do not know how to go AROUND and not OVER our brothers. If these boys see something that catches their attention, heaven help whatever obstacle is in their way... and that includes their brothers' bodies. It's almost like they are actively trying to make "baby hog piles" everywhere they can! What I enjoy seeing is that the brother on the bottom rarely fusses when he's got 20 pounds of determined fury crawling over him- they just keep playing with whatever toy they have in front of them...
One of the most frequent objects of our attention is Hana, our younger French bulldog. Elliott's grabbing her ear here and she is totally letting him do it too. I worried SO MUCH about how the dogs would react to the boys, but both Coltrane and Hana have been amazing with the boys. I looked over the other day and Hana was letting both Jenson and Elliott, at the same time, pull up to a standing position using her as their anchor. She is so gentle with them. I think she likes the attention, and even though I tease that she may be one of the dumbest dogs ever (seriously- she is NOT gifted in any way, shape, or form in the brains department), she seems to have a gentle heart when it comes to the munchkins. Both Jason and I are working very diligently with the boys to teach them how to "be gentle!" with the pups. Jen shared a resource with me on how to teach manners to children, and it emphasized first teaching babies how to touch others (human, canine, feline- doesn't matter which!), so that's what we're doing. I was raised in a home with pets, and I am so grateful that my boys will be too.
Nighttime walks are my favorite! We saddle up the pups, plop the boys in their jammies in the triple stroller, and proceed to solve all of the world's problems while walking around the neighborhood together.
(Sidney, Jenson, Elliott)
Morning time! Momma decided one morning that we should crawl from the nursery into the master bedroom to wake Daddy up. Jenson led the charge...
Jenson, Sidney, Elliott
My parents came out for a visit almost a year ago to help Jason and I around the house while we were preparing for babies to arrive (I'd planned on September babies because of the whole "triplets arrive early" thing. Did I end up being wrong or what!?!). While they were here, the four of us assembled the three cribs for the nursery. At the time, I made Jason save one of the large boxes from the cribs because in my crazy little mind, I was so worried that all three babies wouldn't survive and I knew that if they didn't, I would absolutely not be able to handle seeing three cribs in a nursery that would only then have two babies in it (I figured we would have someone disassemble the crib then and return it in the box). Apparently, Jason told my dad this story when they were visiting and it made him cry (not intentionally though!). I was looking for something in the garage the other day and gave myself a little pause when I realized that the crib box was still there in the rafters. What a total difference a year makes. A year ago, I was worrying that one of my sons would not even make it... and today, I'm reading books to all three of them. I'd like to think that that's what you'd call a miracle.
This picture doesn't do it full justice, but this is the "Sidney position". Laying on his left side, propped up on his elbow, with his right hand on his right thigh. It's like he's trying to model baby clothes for a magazine or something. I crack up whenever he does it, which is frequently!
Poor kid... Jenson's got the longest, fullest hair of the three, so he frequently has to endure me putting my hair doodads in his hair. He's probably going to need some therapy for this someday.
Much better.
My little flirt
Now that all three have at least one tooth (the current count: Jenson-1, Elliott-2, Sidney-2), we've each got our own little toothbrushes! How stinking cute is this?!? By the way, if you're wondering whether they sell infant toothbrushes in bulk- they don't. Bummer! Anyway... 5 teeth here, 55 still to come.
One of my patients surprised me with a "thank you" bouquet of flowers, and the peanuts were absolutely fascinated with them.
(Jenson, Elliott, Sidney)
We LOVE our books! I still worry that each munchkin is not getting enough individual attention, so our new thing is "sit in Momma's lap and get a book read to you". If a peanut crawls into my lap and we're in the play area, I'll read a book just to him. Usually this means that at least one if not both of the others will make a beeline for me too, but at least the one in my lap gets a little one on one time with me first, and all three get to hear the story as well. But sometimes the boys take things into their own hands. The new thing is for one of them to stand up and start yanking books off of the shelves...
... so that the other boys can "read" too. And while it looks like Elliott is reading this book to himself, he's probably just a second or two from...
... chewing on it like Sidney is demonstrating here. I figure at some point they'll actually open the books, not to eat them, but to read them. Until that time, I'll keep reading to them at every opportunity that I get.
Yep, we're getting pretty good at holding our own bottles.
(Jenson, Sidney, Elliott)
Brandi and I took the boys to the park one afternoon for a little outing. We hadn't been to this particular park in a while, but the boys loved crawling around and entertaining us.
(Elliott, Jenson, Sidney)


text: Maybe you are sweating DDT as well? Organophospates were spread around quite liberally by some and they bioaccumulate as well. In the US, much of the food supply is contaminated with glyphosphate at harmful levels (greater than 1ppm kills cells in vitro). I find the level of denial about the quantities of environmental toxins by most people to be quite unforntunate.

Mission Olympic recently held its grand finale in the Netherlands, drawing some 6,000 secondary school students to Amsterdam's Olympic Stadium.
Olympic ambassador Epke Zonderland tries shot put.
Mission Olympic is a highlight of the school sporting calendar.
The annual school sports competition is open to students between the ages of 12 and 19, who compete in 18 disciplines, such as badminton, tennis, street dance and swimming. Competitions take place during the school year and culminate in a big celebration of sport just before the summer break, in the iconic Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam.
The 11th annual edition of Mission Olympic reached 315 schools and more than 150,000 students, engaging an impressive 48 percent of all Dutch secondary schools.
Mission Olympic was founded by
An Inspiring Ambassador
Mission Olympic is a highlight of the school sporting calendar, giving thousands of students access to a wide range of sports for the first time. Participants are also inspired by the program's high-profile ambassador, Epke Zonderland, Olympic gold medal gymnast.
Zonderland and two other Dutch Olympic athletes opened the final by lighting the Olympic flame, inspiring participants to give their all during the finale. A legend on the high bars, Zonderland became a household name in the Netherlands following his outstanding performance at the London 2012 Olympic Games. He will support the Mission Olympic program for the next four years, ensuring that many more students will be encouraged to take part.
"The atmosphere at Mission Olympic reminds me of the real Olympic Games," he said. "It's fantastic to see the way that Mission Olympic inspires youth to discover sports, which is why I'm a proud ambassador."
Best Practice in Action
During this year's edition of Mission Olympic a special delegation from the International Olympic Committee, the National Olympic Committee and nine
Led by Thierry Borra, director of Olympic Games Management at
"Mission Olympic's aim is to help young people experience the joy of active lifestyles by discovering sport together. We emphasize that everyone who participates is a winner, as taking part is the most important thing. The combination of sports and entertainment is very appealing for youth and has strongly contributed to the strength of Mission Olympic," says Guido van Alphen, public affairs and communications director,
Borra added, "The issue of physical inactivity is already alarming in many countries, especially among youth... and the need for action is more than urgent. As we believe that happier, healthier people will have longer, better relationships with our business, we should definitively take a leadership role to help change this reality. Congratulations to the Dutch team for the 11th edition of Mission Olympic, which is certainly a very impressive program that just gets better and better."

Place a heavy-bottomed fondue pot on medium high heat. Scrape the bottom of the pan with the garlic to coat. Place wine in thepan and bring to a simmer, then drop the cheese in. Turn the burner down to medium and work in all cheese until it has incorporated with the wine. Continue stirring with wooden spoon for about 2 minutes. Mix the corn starch with the cherry brandy and stir to make a "slurry". Drop the slurry in the pot and turn the burner to low.

Shoomlakalaka, Pakistan (IP) - Reports trickling out of the back country in Pakistan indicate that Bin Ladin has been feeling the blues lately. One of the recent dilemmas he recently faced involved finding a suitable name for his latest video.
One idea he came up with was, "Terrorists Gone Wild" but that was rejected by his agent. Bin Ladin tried to use the argument that this name would insure that the video would end up next to "College Girls Gone Wild" in all of the 7-11's entertainment racks but his agent would not hear of it. Another name rejected outright was, "Here We Go Carrying Pictures of Chairman Mao".
Another idea was the name, "Repent Ye Infidels" but that was thought to be ineffective because Americans are already up to their ears in religious pamphlets and videos from Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Scientologists, and other whacko religious cults.
Finally he called for a brainstorming session to be held and they went through name after name after name and they finally realized that the best thing to do was call it the "Return of Laden". They would market it by actually paying people to take possession of it. They did the same thing on Ebay by insisting on sending buyers some money via paypal if the buyer would agree to use the "Buy it Now" feature to obtain the video at no charge. They just ended up with a bunch of negative feedback for all of their effort.

This sum for natural values is, of course, already calculated by Bernoulli himself – at least modern or relatively recent authors that deal with it usually refer to take into account Bernoulli numbers. But, apparently, this method is rather cumbersome. Therefore, there can be suggested another, easier way to do this, but without claiming of its superfluous rigidity.
