What do vegetarians use for the zeroa (shankbone) on the seder plate during pesach?
Dr. Naomi G. Cohen of Haifa University reports (1997)
Her husband's family has been vegetarian for over 70 years and that their Seder plate contains two hard eggs. "The logic of this: the bone on the usual plate stands for the Korban Pesach, and the egg for the Korban Hagigah which was eaten BEFORE the little piece of the Korban Pesach in order to get one's fill of food first. Well, if the Korban Hagigah can be symbolized by an egg, than why not the Korban Pesach as well?!"
This is an unusual and idiosyncratic solution.
Robert and Roberta Kalechofsky Haggadot
Many vegetarians, those who use the Haggadot of Robert and Roberta Kalechofsky, use a combination of "dry" barley or wheat (wrapped in plastic wrap) along with olives and grapes. This second option comes with a modern midrash as its prooftext.
As vegetarians, in place of the shankbone, we place olives, grapes, and grains of unfermented barley which symbolize the commandments of compassion for the oppressed, to be found in the Bible. We use olives to commemorate the commandment to leave the second shaking of the olive trees for the poor, we use grapes to commemorate the commandment to leave the second shaking of the grapevines for the poor, (Deut. 24:20) and we use grains of unfermented barley (or other unleavened or unfermented grains), to commemorate the commandment not to muzzle the ox when it treads out the corn in the fields (Deut. 25:4), in other words, to recognize the natural appetites of the animal and not interfere with them. This commandment is considered to be the oldest extant concept of "animal rights," and enshrines the dignity and rights of the animal.
Haggadah for the Liberated Lamb (1985 [the next to last unnumbered page before the Seder begins], 1988, page x) and Haggadah for the Vegetarian Family (1993).
This is truly "liberating" the lamb as it makes no mention of the lamb and has nothing at all to do with the role the lamb played in the Passover story nor the ancient biblical world.
The (first) Jewish Catalog
A more common practice referred to among vegetarians is the use of a beet on their Seder plate in place of a Zeroa. The earliest reference to this I have found is in The Jewish Catalog (1973), page 142 in the sidebar:
For vegetarians, who may object to using a lamb bone on the Seder plate (as a remembrance of the pascal sacrifice): it is halakhically acceptable to use a broiled beet as a replacement.
Those who use a beet refer to Pesachim 114b as their prooftext. I have read this passage numerous times. The only reference to a beet is:
What are the two dishes? –Said R. Huna: Beet and rice. Raba used to be particular for beet and rice, since it had [thus] issued from the mouth of R. Huna. R. Ashi said: From R. Huna you may infer that none pay heed to the following [ruling] of R. Johanan b. Nuri. For it was taught, R. Johanan b. Nuri said: Rice is a species of corn and kareth is incurred for [eating it in] its leavened state, and a man discharges his duty with it on Passover. Hezekia said: Even a fish and the egg on it. R. Joseph said: Two kinds of meat are necessary, one in memory of the Passover-offering and the second in memory of the Hagigah. Rabina said: Even a bone and [its] broth.
The only inference I see that this has to do with the Zeroa appears at the very end where the text states that "Two kinds of meat are necessary, one in memory of the Passover offering [the Zeroa] and the second in memory of the Hagigah [the Beitzah]."
Rabbi Scott Aaron offers this explanation (slightly edited):
Those who are referencing Pesachim 114b as the source are mixing issues. Pesachim 114b's citing of the beet and rice are to the two extra dishes on the table that are mentioned in the preceding Mishna as being required at a Seder table with matzah, maror and charoset. This was proof of the early practice that a seder should be a vegetarian meal so as not to give any appearance in a post-Temple world that we were attempting to replace or offer our own Zeroa without the Temple. The later additions of meat dishes as representing the Paschal sacrifice and the Hagigah in the Gemara are just that, later additions from a differing and apparently persuasive tradition. This is also where the addition of the Zeroa on our plate come from.
The Beet used today in veggie seders is actually meant to replace the Zeroa due to its blood-red color which also reminds us of the Paschal sacrifice. To my knowledge, it is not connected to Pesachim 114b but rather an innovation for modern-day vegetarians who may or may not have realized how connected to tradition they actually are through a veggie seder.
Cynthia Baker of the Department of Near Eastern Studies at Cornell University
Offers a different explanation for the beet:
"What is the meaning of the beet? It is here to remind us of an incident which occurred in 1945, when women slave laborers in Buchenwald concentration camp changed a negative definition to a positive one:
'It hit me suddenly that the Haggadah could have been written for us. If I only changed the tense from past to present, it was written about us…. At this time, the scene in the barracks was bad, there was really fighting, cursing, and yelling… so when I asked the women to be quiet it was like a miracle, this absolute silence in the barracks. I started the Seder by asking why is this night different. And I said that every night we quarrel and we fight and tonight we remember. There were close to a thousand women there. I picked up the slice of sugar beet and I said, this is the bread of our suffering…. And then we made a vow that if we survived, a beet was going to be on our Seder table.' "
I don't know where the account comes from, but it's the one I've seen and heard most often. Does anyone have more info on this?
While doing a bit of research to update this page I learned that the above material is available (with reference to the earlier, original ".html" version of this page at My Jewish Learning:
A Vegetarian Shankbone; How the beet ended up on the seder plate
In addition, the Buchenwald story was also picked up by Allison Jones in her blog LemonBasil in March of 2010: My Idiosynctratic Seder Table
At least since Pesach of 2000⁄5760 I have had a slight variant of the following paragraphs in my own Haggadah. In the body of the narrative, I explain the importance of the shankbone itself:
Young Jesse sat in the full moonlit, cloudless night. The plentiful rains had turned the sloping hillsides a verdant green. The pleasant fragrance of the grasses and flowers mingled with the pungent flock around him. Kids snuggled near their mothers beside the still waters at the foot of the hills, some still suckling, most asleep.
Once the days got significantly longer than the nights he would have to move the flocks to the summer pastures. Jesse had already used his staff to separate some of the new males he'd seen butting against each other, testing their strength. He could imagine and did not look forward to their fights if too many came along to the north. Behind him Jesse smelled the sweet aroma of roasting meat. He would soon share in the feast of the yearlings. He felt a pang of remorse that so many of these little ones, who had been in his care, could not live. So much of his life depended on them: for milk and cheese and for the wool garment he wore. But to let them join in the trek would only cause greater troubles as the grasses diminished.
The full moonlight would show which houses to avoid and pass over. They had to move swiftly and silently through the city in order to return to their families before dawn. Then they would leave their hovels as the redemption occurred. As the howl of Egyptian parents rose.
At the beginning of the Haggadah, where I explain what goes on the seder table (and plate) I share:
Zeroa זרוע
(shankbone), represents the Passover offering made in Temple times. It will be explained during the
Seder (page 27 in the 2010 edition of the PDF version of Haggadah). At vegetarian Seders it has become customary to use a red beet instead. No classic prooftext exists for the use of a beet. Some people refer to Talmud Bavli Pesachim 114b. However, this comment actually deals with rice (!) and beets as additional foods at the meal itself—not a symbolic food on the Seder Plate. Nonetheless, the blood-red color of the beet serves as a metaphoric stand-in for the blood of the lamb shank. I suggest scoring and roasting a beet with its greens.
I smear olive oil over the entire root and on the greens, score the root, sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on the root, then wrap it all in a large sheet of tin foil (with the greens folded in, but not fully closed), add a bit of water to the bottom and then roast it all for an hour or two at 400º. We don't generally eat the beet, but we certainly could.

On March 19, 2008, it will have been five years since the U.S. invasion of Iraq. After five years of occupation, vast majorities of Americans, Iraqi Shias, Iraqi Sunnis, and U.S. troops in Iraq want the U.S. to withdraw within the next year.
And yet, the killing goes on. A January 2008 demographic study by a British independent polling agency found that violence has claimed the lives of at least 946,000 Iraqis since March 2003 – about as many people as live in San Francisco, Berkeley, and Richmond combined.
But it's not just Iraq that's being torn apart by the U.S. war machine. According to data from the U.S. OMB, our government has spent over $2.8 trillion on the military since 2003 – and this uncontrolled spending has crippled our society. March 19, 2008, provides us with a key opportunity to think about what we would do with $2.8 trillion – for example, fund universal health care, rebuild schools in poor communities, or build new houses for the New Orleans residents displaced by Katrina.
But the U.S. government, ignoring our protests against massive cuts to social programs, instead pours money into empire-building – into expanding its political and economic power over the people of the world. The U.S. government is attacking Iraq, and at the same time is fighting a war against poor people and communities of color, both in America and throughout the world. These two wars are in fact one and the same, and each of them fuels the other. We must put an end to both.
Direct Action to Stop the War is a decentralized, unaffiliated network of Bay Area affinity groups and individuals. We are taking direct action because the U.S. political system – in the face of growing opposition to the war – has refused to take concrete steps to end it. It is up to actively confront the economic and political interests behind the war, and demand that the U.S. immediately and unconditionally withdraw all its troops from Iraq.
We are asking you to join us at our next organizing meeting, and help plan a city-wide day of coordinated, decentralized, and nonviolent direct actions on March 19, against government warmakers and corporate war profiteers in downtown San Francisco. Potential targets include:
• Bechtel (50 Beale St.)
• Carlyle Group and URS Corp. (600 Montgomery St.)
• Chevron (345 California St.)
• Booz Allen Hamilton (101 California St.)
• U.S. Export-Import Bank (250 Montgomery St.)
• Army Recruiting Office (670 Davis St.)
• Fox News (901 Battery St.)
• British Consulate and Citigroup (1 Sansome St.)
• Federal Building (450 Golden Gate Ave.)
• Dianne Feinstein's office (1 Post St.)
For a complete menu of targets, see http://www.actagainstwar.net.
We hope that you will join or create a group of activists, come to one of our organizing meetings, and plan your own direct action against one of these targets. And if you want to help out but don't want to risk arrest, please come to our next organizing meeting and help us organize, or just show up at Market & Sansome on March 19.
Also, on March 15, Direct Action to Stop the War – in cooperation with the West County Toxics Coalition and Greenaction – will be taking ct action against the Chevron refinery in Richmond.
We are targeting Chevron both in order to expose their complicity in creating the Iraqi Oil Law, and in order to stand in solidarity with environmental justice movements that struggle against the industrial poisoning of U.S. communities of color.
Join us, and help us build an inclusive, anti-authoritarian network that welcomes anyone and everyone opposed to endless militarism and war.

In a recent issue of New American Paintings, current MFA Maggie Avolio was featured and profiled and had her artist statement published online. She describes her practice as being engaged in producing:
"…minimalistic artwork that exists simultaneously as painting, sculpture, and installation. Raw canvas is unwoven, torn, folded, or reconstructed to create three-dimensional form. I create marks using unconventional methods like stitching. Paint is absent from the canvas yet sometimes appears in the surrounding area, creating a new spatial identity."

We began our journey from South Railway station on 27th Jan'09. We are the NCC ARMY WING 3rd years . We had to submit our second year marklist inorder to get our grace marks . Getting bored…… lets begin the journey.
The train was late like always its Indian Railways na. We took our seats there where plenty. I took the ticket as always.Just Rs 9…17 rupee in my pocket shhh I took Rs 10 from every one.But in the end I lost a rupee took two extra tickets. I try to concentrate in my non fiction book as the train didn't start but then Manu said I have a diesease for books… closed the book the very next moment.Kooo Koooo the train started to move an hour late. Everyone got busy hearing songs and then the real fun started. We started bitching Manu for….he will kill me if I post it here. Songs started flowing from everyone we were playing anthakshri. It was the first visit to MG university for the most who came. They did like the university and we went into the canteeen. The food was remarkably good with excellent fish curry and other dishes only for Rs 17. Cool na..
Manu's travel magazine revealed a train to Ernakulam at 3:40pm. I said there is no such train and forced them to go by bus. But Sreejith got on a bus to rly station as soon as he stepped on the bus everyone got in without asking any question we reached there and came to know that the train is at 5 pm . Ranveer and I took an another way to the station… the Rail Tracks just for fun k n I went to Manu n started quareling on the train matter but he was cool as ice.
We waited an hour there .The train came on time this time round and the second round of anthakshri started. Sibi and I sat at the doors. I said to him this is the first time I am sitting near the doors of the train. He asked me about my family ,my place it was quite a good talk with him. We reached Ernakulam at around 7 pm . Manu came to me and said if he didn't have shown the train book we would have missed the fun. I kept quite as I know he was right.

I have started my S-A-L SKoW project
I was finally lucky enough to be invited to join the SAL group of ladies in January. So I had to get started on my project. I had bought some of Anni Downs' lovely fabric-- "My Favourite Things" at the Darling Harbour Show last year ( and I had also bought the book ), so I am using this fabric plus others from my stash for the project.
Needleturn needs alot of practice (at least on my part), and I have decided that I will use this tecnique , so hopefully my blocks will improve as I go along. I have not done the embroidery or wording, but will do so after afew more blocks are completed.
I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying the process and I had better head off to do more sewing whilst I have the time.

Post subject: Pain in the inner (medial) knee in Wall Straddle
I recently received this question:
Hello Bernie, my question is this. I have been needing to open up the groin/adductor group, and I found the wall straddle to be a comfortable way of approaching that at this point. I saw someone in a video saying the occasinally you may feel a sensation on the medial knee area and that this was not good. They said you should correct that be rotating the foot a little (although I am not quite sure what that meant or what way to rotate). Could you help me to understand what the mean? Thanks so much!! Donna
Hi Donna - First, let me just confirm - are YOU feeling pain in the inner (medial side) of the knee? This can happen when the adductors are quite tight and the stress of the posture really affects the ligaments and tendons on the inner knee, and/or if you have a slight tear here, to the ligaments or the medial meniscus (which is connected to the ligaments.) Normally, if this sensation arose in regular Straddle Pose, the advice is to slightly narrow your legs, or Sarah Powers suggests slightly engaging your quads to relieve the stress. However in Wall Straddle the legs do tend to go to their limit and it is not easy to back off a little. Diana Batts (a Yin Yoga teacher who assists me in my trainings) often offers to her students two straps joined together and looped around the feet. Tighten the belts enough so the legs dont go to their maximum distance, but to where you feel something. This may prevent your pain in the inner knee. (Look for an example and picture of using straps in Wall Straddle in my January 2014 Newsletter where I will be talking about use of props in Yin Yoga.)
I have not heard of the idea of rotating the legs to reduce sensation in the inner knees, but I can imagine that internal rotation, which uses the adductor muscles, may decrease the width of the legs, but at the expense of increasing the pull on the inner knees. External rotation of the feet may allow the adductors to relax, decreasing stress on the medial knees, but it may allow even greater range of motion, which could again increase the stress. Ideally, you have to try it for yourself and forget the theory: does it work? If so, do it. If not, dont do it. Experiment with both movements and see what works for you.
I hope this helps.

Auckland-based interior designer and stylist Katie Lockhart contributes to magazines like World of Interiors and Italy's much-missed Case da Abitare, as well as writing and shooting regularly for HOME. In this, our interiors issue, she's created a shoot with photographer Harriet Were that envisions spaces with rich earth-toned walls and Arts and Crafts influences. Here, Katie talks about the inspiration for her shoot and what else she's working on right now – and we take the opportunity to feature some of her work from previous issues of HOME.
HOME You've created a beautiful interiors shoot for this issue. What was your inspiration for it?
KATIE LOCKHART I read an article that fashion designer JW Anderson wrote, entitled 'Life through Objects' (in Apartamento issue 14) that spoke of his love of Arts and Crafts furniture. He said the first pieces of Arts and Crafts furniture he bought were two Harry Napper chairs – Napper was primarily a textile artist, but also designed a series of tall-backed chairs around the same time as Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Anderson says he became obsessed with the way the arms were constructed and how something could be from a different period but still exude a strong modern force today. This article, in combination with finding some amazing pieces of furniture and ceramics at Art & Industry, made me excited to create these still-lives for the magazine.
What does the shoot – its colour, and its Arts and Crafts influences – say about the direction you'd like interiors to head in now?
I like interiors to be inclusive, to invite people in and to make them feel comfortable. For me colour is a tool that I use to help make this happen. The paint colour in the feature is one that we've created for Drikolor which was matched to a paint chip that I picked off a fading building in New York, a few doors along from where the artists Robert Frank and June Leaf live. I am finding that I am gravitating to colours of this tone at the moment, which could be a seasonal thing, but for this shoot I think this particular colour anchors both the Arts and Crafts pieces as well as the modern pieces.
The Arts and Crafts movement was, in some ways, reacting against industrialised production. Do you feel that message is just as relevant today?
Absolutely. I am really interested in cottage-industry crafts and we try to support and develop this as much as possible through my shop, Everyday Needs. I can't believe that New Zealand has managed to lose so many industries of makers – it breaks my heart that there is no one that can make flat weave rugs for me here when we have so much raw fibre to work with.
How has your own taste changed recently? What do you look for in an interior now that might not have caught your eye a few years ago?
That is a difficult question, but I guess I have more confidence in my own intuition now, which means that I am more experimental with colour and furniture design in my practice. Currently I am really focused on using New Zealand wool within my projects, whether it is in upholstery fabrics, carpets or working with weavers to create fabrics made of locally sourced yarn. My good friends Kirsty Cameron and Viv Stone are currently researching to make a documentary series on the story of New Zealand wool, and hearing about their process is just so inspiring I can't help but feel it seep into my practice.
What's the last thing you purchased for your home, and why?
My husband and I recently had a day trip to New Plymouth and, among other things, visited Leslie Kreisler's gallery, where I fell in love with a wooden piece that Eugene Kreisler had made. I bought it on the spot and carried it home on the plane. It makes me happy every time I see it.
What else are you working on at the moment?
We have a lot on at the moment, including the interior of a Stevens Lawson house and a new project for The French Cafe. Both of these projects allow us to work with brilliant craftspeople, and for me this is really gratifying as I know that my clients will be able to enjoy these interiors for years to come.

Central Mississippi Area Health Education Center
In the late 1970s, the federal government established Area Health Education Centers (AHEC) to address health manpower distribution through community based initiatives. Mississippi AHECs link the resources of university health science centers with local planning, educational and clinical resources. This network of health-related institutions provides multidisciplinary educational services to students, faculty and local practitioners, ultimately improving health care delivery in medically underserved areas.
Area Health Education Centers (AHECs) are academic and community partnerships that provide health career recruitment programs for K-12 students and increase access to health care in medically underserved areas. AHECs address health care workforce issues by exposing students to health care career opportunities that they otherwise would not have encountered, establishing community-based training sites for students in service-learning and clinical capacities, providing continuing education programs for health care professionals, and evaluating the needs of underserved communities.
Since its doors opened in February 2009, Central Mississippi Area Health Education Center (Central MS AHEC) has focused on the development of programs to increase the quality and number of primary and allied health care providers in the central part of the state through the development of K-12 pipeline programs and the provision of quality continuing education activities. This has been done primarily through partnerships and collaborations with organizations sharing the same goals and objectives. Examples of these organizations include the Mississippi Job Corps, the Mississippi State Department of Health and Jackson State University.
Central MS AHEC supports and advances the improvement of the health of individuals and communities by transforming health care through education and training by offering the following: 1) Development of pipeline programs that provides educational programs for K-12 and undergraduate students that increase knowledge of healthcare and health care careers and 2) Providing continuing education to existing health care providers in an effort to improve the quality of care for all Mississippians.
The mission of the Central MS AHEC Program is to address the state's health and health workforce needs by developing and implementing educational programs in partnership with academic institutions, health care agencies, and other organizations committed to improving the health of the people of Mississippi. These programs are targeted toward:
- Improving the distribution and retention of healthcare providers with a special emphasis on primary care and prevention.
- Improving the diversity and cultural competence of the health care workforce in all health disciplines.
- Enhancing the quality of care and improving health care outcomes.
- Addressing the health care needs of underserved communities and populations.
The primary function of the Central Mississippi Area Health Education Center is the elimination of health care disparities through increased availability and access of quality health care to all medically underserved populations and other identified Health Professional Shortage Areas (HPSA). Central MS AHEC is committed to developing sustainable practices that meet the needs of the present without compromising the welfare of future generations. This requires the development of strategies that enable us to move toward sustainability while enhancing the value offered to the communities we serve.
- Above all, we are honorable in our actions and we hold honesty and integrity as our guiding principles. We recognize that we are privileged to contribute to our target populations' growth.
- Our partners are critical to our success. We value their proficiency, expertise, knowledge, and vision. We know that, driven by the imagination and enthusiasm of our partners, our organization's potential is unlimited. We treat all partners with respect, trust, and lead through competence, creativity and teamwork.
- Our customers are critical to our success. We are customer-focused, responsive, sensitive to cultural realities, and driven to exceed our customers' expectations. Quality is our signature and we take pride in everything we do.

College Council Has No Power Over Invited Speakers
Posted by David Dudley Field '25 under Record, Student Organizations at 6:36 am
An alum tried to get this letter published in the Record:
To the editor,
Skylar Smith's '18 February 22 article "CC Approves Uncomfortable Learning as an RSO" (and the comments therein from Lizzy Hibbard '19) demonstrated a misunderstanding of the College's new policy with regard to outside funding for invited speakers. Any Registered Student Organization may invite someone to speak at Williams even if the funding for that speaker comes from an alumnus or some other non-Williams organization. The RSO must, of course, abide by the new rules, specifically by revealing the source of the funding to Williams and by providing at least two weeks notice before the event. But, as Director of Media Relations Mary Dettloff confirmed to me, neither CC nor any other student organization can prevent an RSO from inviting a speaker. Only Williams itself may ban a speaker, as it did last year in the case of John Derbyshire.
Annoyingly, the Record refused to publish this letter, choosing instead to issue this correction:
This matters because it is bad enough that Williams empowers Adam Falk to ban speakers with whom he disagrees. If College Council could ban student-invited (faculty-invited?) speakers, madness would follow. One Eph censor is enough!
UPDATE: The headline of the physical Record last week was "CC passes free speech resolution 16-3-1." There was also this photo caption: "Kevin Mercadante '17 introduces a resolution intended to enshrine speech and protect individual rights to disagree and protest." Alas, there is no associated news story that I can find, either on-line or in the paper itself. Can anyone provide details? The College Council website does not allow outsides to see the current year's agenda or minutes. Sad!Print • Email

Agreed. Students sadly have to resort to ephblog (no offense intended) for accurate information and coverage of important issues at the college. There seems to be a suppressive culture of censorship pervading the campus unlike anything I have ever witnessed at an educational institution. The Record is nothing but a shill for the administration.
Some relevant quotes:
The test of democracy is freedom of criticism. ~David Ben-Gurion
We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people. ~John F. Kennedy
Censorship: protecting you from reality. ~Author unknown
Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly. ~Albert Einstein
The populist authoritarianism that is the downside of political correctness means that anyone, sometimes it seems like everyone, can proclaim their grief and have it acknowledged. The victim culture, every sufferer grasping for their own Holocaust, ensures that anyone who feels offended can call for moderation, for dilution, and in the end, as is all too often the case, for censorship. And censorship, that by-product of fear — stemming as it does not from some positive agenda, but from the desire to escape our own terrors and superstitions by imposing them on others — must surely be resisted. ~Jonathon Green

Here is the text of the resolution:
Williams College Council 2017
Resolution: 01-1718
Introduced on 18 April, 2017
Author(s): Kevin Mercadante and Hanson Koota
Co-Sponsor(s): Michael Ludwig
A Resolution in Support of Free, Open, and Honest Dialogue at Williams College
WHEREAS the Williams College Council rejects and refuses to provide a platform for all forms of speech inciteful of violence or prejudice against any members of the
community, especially individuals of marginalized identities;
WHEREAS the Preamble of the College Council Constitution establishes a mission of creating "a community to which every student belongs and in which every student participates;"
WHEREAS a well-rounded liberal arts education is contingent upon the free exchange of ideas to promote critical and creative thinking through thoughtful and thought-provoking dialogue;
WHEREAS Williams College and the College Council welcome open and honest dialogue, a dialogue that both recognizes the value that a multitude of ideas offers and facilitates the exchange of oppositional views;
WHEREAS the Council values students' right to question and protest the expression of views of other community members and visitors to campus;
WHEREAS the Council rejects the use of violence or threats of violence to discourage speech;
LET IT BE RESOLVED Williams College Council affirms its commitment to protecting every individual's rights to speech and protest, rights at the core of the liberal arts
JCD says:
Looks like the cause of freedom of speech is being championed by two football players (Koota and Ludwig) and one soccer player (Mercadante). They should all be encouraged to contribute to Ephblog.
eloquence says:
"Speech is essentially what has allowed groups to speak," Ludwig said.
Please bring this person on as an author. Their contributions seem worthwhile.

From your comments, I can tell that you do not have much empathy or experience in dealing with the press.
Ludwig is actually quite charismatic, a true leader recognized by his peers. From the context, it is perfectly clear that he is saying that it is short-sighted for leftists to be hostile to freedom of speech if only because so many of the left-wing groups on campus would not exist under regimes that did not allow freedom of speech, say places that still practice Communism like Cuba and North Korea.
Since you have probably never been important enough in your life to be interviewed by a reporter, I can understand that you may not appreciate the extent to which reporters screw up quotes and report them out of context.
FYI: I have no doubt Ludwig could knock you out both intellectually and face-to-face.

Funeral of Mousavi's Father Held amid Disruption by Security Forces
by MUHAMMAD SAHIMI in Los Angeles
01 Apr 2011 02:41Comments
[ dispatch ] The public funeral of Mir Esmail Mousavi, father of Mir Hossein Mousavi, was disrupted by security and intelligence forces. The funeral procession was supposed to begin at 8 a.m. Thursday morning, Tehran time, from the home of the elder Mousavi. According to several eyewitnesses, security agents took control of the neighborhood on Wednesday night and occupied the roofs of many houses in order to tape the procession and identify the people taking part in the funeral. Despite this, thousands of people streamed to the elder Mousavi's home to pay their last respects and read verses from the Qur'an in the Muslim tradition. Dr. Ghasemzadeh, son-in-law of Grand Ayatollah Abdolkarim Mousavi Ardabili, a Green Movement supporter who is close to the reformists, represented him and on his behalf paid his respects and conveyed his condolences to the family. Many of the political prisoners who are on furlough or have been released also attended the funeral.
At 9 a.m. Thursday, the body of the elder Mousavi was brought out of his home and carried by the people. They shouted the traditional Islamic "La elaha-ellallah, Muhammad rasoul-allah" -- There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is God's Prophet -- that is said for the dead while his body is borne. As soon as the crowd carrying the body entered the main street, hundreds of security forces and policemen attacked the mourners and forcibly put the body in an ambulance. As people protested, the police continued to attack. The mourners then began to shout "Ya Hossein, Mir Hossein" -- Oh (Imam) Hossein (Shiism's Third Imam), Mir Hossein (Mousavi).
Mir Hassan Mousavi -- brother of Mir Hossein Mousavi and father of Seyyed Ali Mousavi, who was assassinated during the Day of Ashura demonstrations on December 27, 2009 -- protested loudly what the police were doing and was himself arrested. Reports indicate that he was released several hours later. Mousavi's son-in-law Javad Salimi -- three of whose brothers were killed in the Iran-Iraq War -- was also attacked by the security forces and arrested along with a number of other Mousavi family members. Some were released several hours later, but there is no information on the whereabouts of the several who remain in detention as of early Friday.
Also arrested was Hojatoleslam Nour Elahian, a prominent clerical member of Mousavi's 2009 presidential campaign. Dr. Ali Shakouri Rad, member of the central committee of the Islamic Iran Participation Front -- the leading reformist group, which has been outlawed by the regime -- was arrested as well and subsequently released. The presence of the security and intelligence forces was so heavy that several of the intelligence minister's deputies were on hand as were several officers from the intelligence unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Revolutionary Guard special forces surrounded the entire neighborhood. At least seven people were arrested.
People eventually began moving toward Behesht-e Zahra, Tehran's main cemetery. A large number of people had gone directly to the cemetery and gathered where the dead is washed and shrouded according to Islamic tradition, but security forces were also there in large numbers. After the body was prepared for burial, the security forces prevented it from being taken to where people say a special prayer for the dead. As the crowd was growing larger by the minute, the security forces finally relented and allowed about 20 people to say the special prayer behind the shrouded body of the elder Mousavi. Many government officials from past administrations, academics, young people, and journalists were present. Many families of veterans of the war with Iraq, including many who lost their children in the conflict, were present as well.
Then, against tradition, the shrouded body was not given to the Mousavi family. Instead, it was taken directly to Section 9 of the cemetery and buried next to Seyyed Ali Mousavi. The entire time the section was surrounded by the security forces, who attacked several mourners. At least 20 people were arrested.
On Wednesday evening, Mir Hossein Mousavi and his wife, Dr. Zahra Rahnavard, were taken to his father's home to see him for the last time and say farewell. According to Kalemeh, the website close to Mousavi, the house was full of security forces. From the moment he entered, Mousavi kept saying, "Patience, patience, and patience" to the members of his family. Even though the security forces were treating him roughly and impolitely, Mousavi asked his family members to be silent and continue their resistance. He then kissed his father's forehead, read the traditional Qur'anic verses for the dead, and said goodbye to him. He was not allowed to take part in the funeral of his father on Thursday.
Many political groups along with leading political figures and clerics have sent messages of condolence to Mir Hossein Mousavi, his family, and the Iranian nation. They include the Islamic Iran Participation Front; the Organization of Islamic Revolution Mojahedin, another leading reformist group that has been outlawed; the youth divisions of all the important reformist groups; the Association of Teacher and Scholars of Qom's Seminaries, the clerical group that supports the Green Movement; the Coordination Council for the Green Path of Hope, which has temporarily taken the lead role in the Green Movement; the League of Muslim Women of New Thinking; and a group of Azerbaijan activists and intellectuals, including representatives from Islamic Azad University of Tabriz, the University of Tabriz, the Sahand University of Technology of Tabriz, the University of Nabi Akram, the Youth and Reformist Students of Eastern Azerbaijan Province, and the local youth and university student branches of the Mousavi and Karroubi campaigns.
Individual messages of condolence have come from former President Mohammad Khatami; Grand Ayatollah Yousef Sanei and Grand Ayatollah Asadollah Bayat Zanjani, both of whom support the Green Movement; Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Abdolkarim Mousavi Ardabili; Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani; and the families of the late Grand Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, the late Ayatollah Seyyed Mahmoud Taleghani, the late Ayatollah Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini Beheshti -- Iran's first postrevolutionary judiciary chief, who was assassinated in June 1981 and whose son, Dr. Alireza Hosseini Beheshti, was a leading figure in Mousavi's presidential campaign -- and Mehdi Karroubi.
In his condolence message, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Mohammad Dastgheib, the popular cleric and Green Movement supporter, writes in reference to Mir Hossein Mousavi, "I congratulate the late Mousavi because God gave him such a child." Addressing Mousavi directly, he continues, "Although you are currently under illegal and irreligious arrest, you are in fact free because your place is in people's hearts. I ask the ruling group to end your arrest and that of your wife, Mehdi Karroubi, and his wife. They should know that no fair mojtahed [religious scholar with the authority to interpret Islamic teachings] will sign this [arrest order]. If they believe that you and Karroubi have committed an offense, why do they not put the two of you on trial in a legitimate court presided over by a fair mojtahed so that you can defend yourselves and everybody can hear and see the origin of the accusations?"

I can't say enough great things about the followers of EatingOxford.com! I got a tip last night on Twitter from Hildon Sessums that a new restaurant was moving into the O.E.C. Japanese Express space in the Walmart shopping center.
I went to investigate today and it turns out that O.E.C. has moved a couple doors down and is now sharing space with Maharaja Indian Cuisine. You can dine in or get delivery, and they've kept the same phone number (662-234-8088).
In the O.E.C. space, a new restaurant, Bistro Burger, will be opening soon. I've been unable to find out much info, except that they have started a Facebook page here. Hoping to have more news for you soon. If you know anything, let me know.

« Dr. James White - "Does Reformed Theology Matter?" | Main | DVD Review: Does the Bible Misquote Jesus?, Dr. Bart Ehrman and Dr. James White (Debate) »
Arminianism's Depersonalization of the Gospel
Below, in a youtube video (lasting approximately 20 minutes), here is Dr. James White teaching a class from Romans 8:31ff, asking the question, who is being referred to as the "us" in this passage?... nameless faceless people? Is it everyone who lives or has ever lived? Is it a specific group? Is Paul referring to the same group all the way through the passage? What are the implications? Who is Christ interceding for? Is it a group that has people entering and leaving (gaining salvation and then losing it)? Is it "me" IF I fulfill certain conditions? Does Christ fail to save some of those He is interceding for? An interesting unveiling concerning the impersonal nature of Arminian theology and salvation showing the huge implications of a man centered theology and the great cost of losing the personal promises and the deep and abiding assurance this passage is meant to bring to the people of God:
James White seems to have not grasped William Craig's position at all. Craig is not a classical Arminian but a Molinistic Arminian. White's 'depersonalization' argument works only against certain forms of classical Arminianism but certainly not Craig's position. Craig has no problem affirming that God knows the elect individually before the creation of the world. He even affirms that once a person is saved, God will successfully see to it that he perseveres to the end. His molinistic understanding of election allows for that. Moreover, Craig is against the classical Arminian position. He thinks that it is simply unattainable in light of the Scriptural witness. It's disappointing to hear White criticize Craig on grounds of a position Craig himself is against!!

Duchene wins Bobby Smith Trophy
BRAMPTON, Ont. – Matt Duchene of the Brampton Battalion has won the Bobby Smith Trophy as the Ontario Hockey League's Scholastic Player of the Year, it was announced Thursday.
Centre Duchene, a Grade 12 student at Turner Fenton Secondary School who turned 18 on Jan. 16, maintained an average of 85 percent in six courses, including five university prep courses.
The trophy, presented to the player who best combines high standards of play and academic excellence, is named in honour of Bobby Smith, a former Ottawa 67's star who excelled in both areas. Defenceman Ryan Ellis of the Windsor Spitfires won the award last season.
A resident of Haliburton, Ont., Duchene was a first-round pick in the 2007 OHL Priority Selection. He scored 31 goals and earned 48 assists for 79 points in 53 games this season and is rated second among North American-based skaters by the National Hockey League's Central Scouting department for the NHL Entry Draft in June.
"It's just a matter of balancing your time," said Duchene. "The Battalion does a great job of emphasizing academic performance. It's something my family and I have always taken seriously. I was brought up knowing hockey wasn't always a guarantee and I needed a backup plan. That's always been my focus."
Stan Butler, Battalion head coach and director of hockey operations, is a former high school teacher and vice-principal.
"As an organization we're really excited for Matt," said Butler. "He's an extremely focused individual on the ice, and he takes that to the classroom too. He's a prime example of the type of people who come through the OHL. They're balanced and show you can combine education and hockey at the highest levels and be successful in both."
Duchene, the first Battalion player to win the Bobby Smith Trophy, is one of three members of the team to have won an OHL award this season. Left winger Evgeny Grachev won the Emms Family Award as the Rookie of the Year, while centre Cody Hodgson captured the William Hanley Trophy as the OHL's Most Sportsmanlike Player.
Formed in 1991 from W.J. Fenton and J.A. Turner secondary schools, Turner Fenton, located near the Powerade Centre on Kennedy Road, has an enrollment of about 2,300 students. It is one of only 17 public schools in Ontario that offers the International Baccalaureate program, a two-year curriculum of international education for students aged 16 to 19.
The Bobby Smith Trophy is the most illustrious of three scholastic awards presented by the OHL. Freddie Hamilton, a rookie centre with the Niagara IceDogs, won the Ivan Tennant Memorial Award as the top academic player in high school, and overage defenceman Tim Priamo of the Guelph Storm was honoured with the Roger Neilson Memorial Award as the top academic player in college or university.
Defenceman Matt Clark, an 18-year-old first-year student at the University of Guelph, was the Battalion's nominee for the Roger Neilson Memorial Award.

A lesson on non-competes: What you don't know, can't hurt you. Until it does.
That's the approach that many employers take when seeking to enforce a covenant not to compete with a former employee.
Those non-competes your employees sign probably violate federal labor law. Or do they?

President Obama signs bipartisan bill protecting trade secrets under federal law
I'm mailing this one in, folks. I mean, did the two of you who actually clicked on today's post read the title first?!? (I practically fell asleep at "bipartisan")
And, if you need to catch up on your zzzz's, you can read a copy of "Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016" here. The workplace implications are simple: Companies can now sue employees in state or (for the first time) federal court for trade secret misappropriation.
Now, to actually make this post worth your while, I'm going to remind you that there's still time to enter my contest. One lucky reader will get my official copy of O'Connor's Federal Employment Codes Plus 2015-2016 edition. And I will inscribe a personalized message in said book. In blue highlighter.
Non-competition agreements are the Butter Brickle of employment law.
Non-competition agreements haven't gotten much play on this blog. It's like going into an ice cream shop and ordering Butter Brickle. Meh. Yet, there it is: Butter Brickle, right between classics like Vanilla and Chocolate and those newer flavors, Tahitian Vanilla and Chocolate Dreamsicle.
As a mainstay, every once and a while, I must page homage.
***spoons Butter Brickle into gaping mouth***
It's pretty good, you know.
And non-competes….let's discuss them too. Specifically, what happens if a former employee joins a top competitor, and, by the time a judge is ready to do something about it, the non-competition agreement is about to expire? Will the court level the playing field and restart the non-compete?
Yes, your employees can legally record most workplace conversations
Back when the Lamborghini Countach poster was in your bedroom, spinach and artichoke dip was on the menu, and it was hip to be square, this image would have been fitting for this blog — what's a blog?!?! — post.
Yes, there was a time when a secret recording in the workplace implied an expectation of privacy in whatever conversation was recorded. But, now, everyone has a smartphone and, with a few quick thumb taps, an easy way to audio or video record anything and everything.
So, who among us has a reasonable expectation of privacy at work?
According to the National Labor Relations Board, practically no one who works for the company.

Everything you need to know about restrictive covenants and protecting confidential business information
Yesterday, I had the privilege of presenting a webinar for LexisNexis with my colleague, Larry Holmes, and Sterling Miller. Larry and I have served in the restrictive-covenant trenches together many times. Sterling serves as Senior Counsel at Gober Hilgers. He's also the former General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer to Sabre Corporation and former General Counsel to Travelocity.com. And without any prodding from me, Sterling admitted to reading this blog. Clearly, he's good people.
Anyway, about that webinar. The three of us riffed for an hour and twenty on the ins and outs of non-competition and non-solicitation agreements. Plus, we offered some drafting tips and discussed ways to protect confidential information. And, of course, I couldn't resist intersecting those topics with social media. Secret sauce, anyone? At the end, we took 15 minutes of questions from folks like you.
If you'd like to get a copy of the webinar, I'm pretty sure that I can hook you up. (Don't let me down, Lexis!) Drop me a line and I'll do my best to take care of you.

So I bought some spicy sausage when I bought my bacon. It's always the same routine. The co-resident will throw a fit if he knew that I came back from the deli one without the other. This sausage is really special, most likely not found outside Bangalore. It's called the green masala sausage at the 'Ham Shop' on M.G. Road. The man's been in business for decades and trust me he knows how to turn this one out to perfection. I'm pretty sure the sausage has coriander, chilies and pepper. And I've decided to not boggle my brains with deciphering the rest of the mix. You can substitute any other sausage for this recipe, but if you can head down to the Ham Shop nothing like it. (P.S. No, he did not pay me to write for him and No and I don't think he needs any more publicity!)
Macaroni with Spicy Sausage Meat
Cooking time: 25 mins
Prep time: 15 mins
Serves: 4
What you need:
400 gms Pasta
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 large red Onion, very finely chopped
6-8 good quality pork Sausages (skin removed)
1 fresh medium-hot red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 small glass of dry White Wine
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Pinch of dried Oregano
150 ml hot Vegetable stock
300 ml Double Cream
Salt and freshly ground Black pepper
Handful of fresh flat leaf Parsley, finely chopped
What to do:
Place pasta in a pan of boiling salted water and cook until just tender. Drain, keep back a tiny amount of cooking water.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the onion, and cook over a low heat for 5 mins or until soft and translucent. Chop up the sausage meat and add to the pan, using the back of a fork to break it up. Cook until they are no longer pink, about 5 mins. Add the chili and cayenne and stir. Raise the heat, add the wine and simmer for a few mins. Add the garlic and oregano and season well with salt and pepper. Pour in the stock and cream, bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 mins.
Toss the pasta with the sausage sauce, get your desired consistency with the cooking liquid. Garnish with parsley and serve hot. (Not cold, because the pork fat tends to get heavy when cold.)

...he is asleep, wake him. Or so the proverb goes.
These are a few things that, once pointed out to me, I realized I already knew, but I didn't appreciate how much they applied to mastering the fretboard.
If the ukulele is like the first four strings of a guitar capoed at the fifth fret, then the ukulele capoed at the seventh fret is like a guitar, only an octave higher. That is, the notes at the 7-th fret are DGBE!
There are three places on the ukulele where there are no accidentals (sharps or flats):
- the nut, or zero fret, (GCEA), as we all know,
- the 7-th fret (DGBE) as we've just seen, and last,
- the 5-th fret, (CFAD).
- Everything repeats once we get to the twelfth fret.
Most of us know many first position chords and are comfortable moving from one to another. The same relative changes work all the way up the neck. For example consider, A (2,1,0,0) to D (2,2,2,x) [three string version]. If the A chord is made by using the middle and ring fingers, the index finger is available to be used as a bar, making the chord moveable. So, for example, (5,4,3,3) is the A chord moved up three frets making it, Bb, B, C. It's C! If one now does the same thing one did moving from A to D, the new chord (5,5,5,x) must be an F! You can see that by counting frets D, Eb, E, F, but it also follows automatically from changing the A shape to the D shape.

Students are resorting to alcohol in order to calm their nerves ahead of the publication of A-Level results this Thursday, a new report reveals.
According to research by the University of Hertfordshire, one in ten parents believe their children have been drinking more in the run-up to this year's results day.
In addition, one in eight parents reported that their teenagers are suffering sleepless nights fretting about their grades.
Stephen Boffey, the dean of the faculty of interdisciplinary studies at the University of Hertfordshire, who commissioned the study, is worried that the pressure on today's students is too great.
He points out that much of the stress is unnecessary, as even if students don't get the grades to go to their first-choice university, they can always find an alternative place through clearing.
"If a young person's original university choices will not accept them, then there are tens of thousands of places on courses at excellent institutions still available," he said.
Parents are also not immune from results-related stress, with one in five admitting that they were just as worried as their children about the results.
Mothers were more likely to be worried than fathers, with 23 per cent of mums reporting increased stress levels in recent weeks, as opposed to 16 per cent of dads.
Initial reports suggest that all the agonising is unnecessary this year, with A-Level results expected to show record numbers of students achieving A grades and being accepted by their first-choice universities.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. – University of Notre Dame junior men's swimmer Bertie Nel recently took part in the annual NCAA Inclusion Forum at the NCAA National Office in Indianapolis.
The NCAA Inclusion Forum brings together intercollegiate athletics leaders who strive to improve the educational and professional environment for student-athletes, coaches and staff. Forum sessions cover a broad array of topics pertaining to policy, research and best practices for racial and ethnic minorities, women, international student-athletes, LGBTQ and disability-access to sport.
Nel, a native of Tzaneen, South Africa, shared his experiences as an international student-athlete during "The International University Sports Experience" seminar alongside Valparaiso men's soccer player Diego Calix and former Illinois State track and field athlete Scott Krapf. Each of the guest speakers discussed their personal engagement in university athletics, and how they feel the inclusion of international student-athletes enriches the NCAA experience.

August 4th. California. UFC 227. Mark it on your calendars now.
Arguably the greatest MMA fighter of all time, Georges St-Pierre is set to make his sophomore return fight! His rival is set to be Nate Diaz, younger brother of formerly defeated opponent Nick Diaz.
On the surface I like you would say no way this is going to happen. Once Dana White starts talking about it, we can lend it some credence.
"Remember this is the WME era where rankings, sensical matches & old fan money aren't super important as long as analytics/ monetizing metrics are followed & optimal profit is made. Give it a few days & we'll see who confirms/denies." – tweet by MMA journalist Mike Russell
"We are working right now to put together a Georges St-Pierre versus Nate Diaz fight," White said on the UFC Unfiltered podcast Monday. "It is true. They would fight at 155 pounds."
White added he is also "targeting L.A." to make a non-title match between former middleweight champion Luke Rockhold and former light-heavyweight title challenger Alexander Gustafsson on the card, which is already headlined by the T.J. Dillashaw-Cody Garbrandt bantamweight title rematch.
"In my perfect world — nothing goes perfect in this world — Dillashaw vs. Garbrandt, GSP vs. Diaz would be the co-main, Gustafsson vs. Rockhold and Derek Brunson vs. Antonio Carlos Jr.," White announced. "It's very interesting."
If GSP were to win the 155lb title he would be the only person to ever hold a title in 3 divisions. If memory serves me, and it does, Georges used to have some difficulty making 170. To drop to 155 at 36 years old, after most recently winning the title at 185lbs is going to be a legendary feat in an of itself. Losing fat is one thing. How in the world can you safely melt off muscle?
I have no idea. But then I am no GSP.

I am a notorious procrastinator so, of course, I created this blog in a sudden fit of anti-productivity one night, when I should have been finishing an assignment for grad school. As one does.
Now, with some thought, and after several months of being without a computer, I've revamped the blog to be a little less procrastination-station, and more focused.
I'm a library professional currently living in Colorado, who hates free-time about as much as I hate spiders. At any given moment, I'll be in the midst of multiple projects, and multiple books. Rebellibrarianess is where I turn to organize those projects, my thoughts, and sundry. My cat, Morgana le Faeline, will also make the occasional appearance, as she's a perfect combination of soot sprite and pseudo-dragon.
A segment called Books & Bourbon is where I write-sometimes rant- about the various books that I've finished, and accompany them with a drink recipe (alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I'm not a complete lush.) It will seem a bit hectic at first, as I catch up on the books I've read, but haven't written about, and from then on out, it will (if all things go according to plan) be a weekly segment. Books & Bourbon also has a tumblr here, where I jot down thoughts, updates, and shorter summaries of my latest literary prey.

Just picked up this carb and intake and would like to know what it fits, it is unusual with the external threads on the carb body. Thanks, Gary
Hope this helps on my mystery carb.
1913 sears/dayton De Luxe v twin. Maybe. look around for a few photos on line.

Its delightful, whatever it is, Gary!
Thanks for the pics for my library.
Can you measure the manifold spigot thread pitch and diameter?
They appear right hand?

That's a Flying Merkel twin intake manifold, circa 1914. The bracket lugs support the compression release assembly.

Yes I think 13 and 14 Flying Merkel twins, I found a good picture of a 13. Thanks all! Gary
16 on the threads an 1.10 out side on the external threads hole in card by threads .94 and inside the manifold threads about 1.05. Gary
That's unique!
Certainly different than anything on this chart (Sorry I forgot who shared it... but thanks!)
The variety of early Schebs is incomprehensible, Folks.
One 1¼" HX crossed my benches that was 1¼" NPT.
I just figured out the little 3/4" NPT Hen carbs are actually 24mm bores.
Now I gotta change my float labels again.
Dumpster Diver's Motto: Seek,... and Ye Shall Find!
It is a right hand thread and a straight thread which takes a thin lock nut to keep it tight. It is the only carb I have seen with an external thread and it is built for the ported air sleeve as there are stops on the body for it and the stock air intake for the front of the carb falls in the body as it is bigger.

ROSALEM JUNIOR, Wilson; ANDRADE, Arnaldo Feitosa Braga de and COLOMBO, Ana Paula Vieira. Prevalence of leukotoxic genotypes of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans in Brazilians with chronic periodontitis. Braz. J. Microbiol. [online]. 2006, vol.37, n.4, pp.590-596. ISSN 1678-4405. https://doi.org/10.1590/S1517-83822006000400036.
Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans is considered a major etiologic agent of aggressive periodontitis but this species has also been associated with other forms of periodontal disease. Further, highly leukotoxic strains are related to severity of disease. This investigation determined the prevalence of A. actinomycetemcomitans and the occurrence of the leukotoxin gene 530-bp deletion in Brazilian subjects with chronic periodontitis. Twenty periodontally healthy and 20 chronic periodontitis subjects were selected. Full-mouth clinical examination was carried out at 6 sites/tooth. Subgingival biofilm samples were collected from the 3 deepest sites and 3 healthy sites from periodontitis subjects, as well as from 3 sites of individuals with periodontal health. A. actinomycetemcomitans and the genetic deletion were determined by the polymerase chain reaction. Significant differences were sought by Mann-Whitney, Chi-square, and Wilcoxon sign tests. Periodontitis subjects presented a higher prevalence (75%) of A. actinomycetemcomitans than individuals with health (45%) (p = 0.053). A mean frequency of 57.5% of A. actinomycetemcomitans - positive sites was observed in the periodontitis group. Of those, 75% were diseased, whereas 40% were healthy sites (p = 0.0001). Healthy subjects showed a mean frequency of 35% of positive sites. In contrast, the genetic deletion was detected only in 4 diseased sites from 2 chronic periodontitis patients. A high prevalence of A. actinomycetemcomitans was observed in Brazilians with chronic periodontitis. However, the leukotoxin gene 530-bp deletion was rarely detected in the subgingival biofilm of these subjects.
Keywords : chronic periodontitis; PCR; Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans; subgingival biofilm; leukotoxin.

A publication that provides concepts, examples and recommendations on how to transfer research findings into practical applications
Without research, progress and innovation would grind to a halt. But how research findings are put into practice is a subject that must be investigated in detail in its own right. This was the focus of work carried out by Fraunhofer IAO, together with Fraunhofer ISI, the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn and the company Research and Innovation VFI, belonging to the German Engineering Federation VDMA.
Innovation is an essential condition for ensuring companies remain competitive. But the term itself implies much more than scientific research and the findings that research generates. Real innovation is about putting what we discover into practice within industry, adapting new technologies and techniques to the existing production environment or integrating them into innovative products and services.
Designing ways to carry out this transfer successfully and efficiently was the subject of a joint project titled "Developing transfer mechanisms for the efficient and sustainable distribution of research findings within industrial practice using the example of mechatronics." Here Fraunhofer IAO teamed up with colleagues from Fraunhofer ISI, the Heinz Nixdorf Institute at the University of Paderborn and the company Research and Innovation VFI, belonging to the German Engineering Federation VDMA.
All of the project's key results have been brought together in one volume titled "Transfer of research findings to industrial practice – concepts, examples, recommendations." This book features details of how to work up a transfer model, including its constituent stages, as well as an evaluation of the effectiveness of various transfer mechanisms and the trials undertaken to test these mechanisms in practice. The book also offers recommendations on how best to build a successful transfer of results into future research projects.
Further information
The book was edited by Prof. Joachim Warschat and is available online priced 39 euros from the IAO shop:
