Title:  Two combinatorial problems in group theory. (In English)
Source:  Acta Arith. 21, 111-116 (1972).
Review:  Sequences of elements from (additive) abelian groups are studied. Conditions under which a nonempty subsequence has sum equal to the group identity 0 are established. For example, an n-sequence with exactly k distinct terms represents 0 if the group has order g \leq n+\binom{k}{2} and n \geq k\binom{k}{2}.
The least number f(k) of distinct partial sums is also considered, for the case of k-sequences of distinct elements such that no nonempty partial sum is equal to 0. For example, 2k-1 \leq f(k) \leq [ 1/2 k2]+1.
In this paper a sequence is a selection of members of a set, possibly with repetitions, in which order is not important; elements are members of sets, and terms are members of sequences.
Definition. Let * be a binary operation on a set A, and let S = (ai)ni = 1 be a sequence of elements from A. S will be said to represent the element x in A if (i) x is a term in S, or (ii) there exist x,z in A such that x = y*z, and y and z are represented by disjoint subsequences of S. (Clearly this notion extends to general algebras.)
In particular, if < G,+> is an abelian group and S = (ai)ni = 1 is a sequence of elements from G, then S represents x in G just if there exists a sequence E = (\epsiloni)ni = 1 of elements from {0,1 }, not all 0, such that sum ni = 1 \epsiloniai = x.
We resolve here some aspects of the following two related problems. (1) Under what circumstances does an n-sequence of elements from an abelian group represent the zero element? (2) If an n-sequence of distinct elements from an abelian group does not represent the zero element, how many elements does it represent?

This paper deals with the behavior of solutions of ordinary differential equations in a Hilbert Space. Under certain conditions, we obtain lower estimates or upper estimates (or both) for the norm of solutions of two kinds of equations. We also obtain results about the uniqueness and the quasi-uniqueness of the Cauchy problems of these equations. A method similar to that of Agmon-Nirenberg is used to study the uniqueness of the Cauchy problem for the non-degenerate linear case.

Titan Grapplers Fall To Sibley-Ocheyedan

December 6, 2012
Dan Voigt , Emmetsburg News

SIBLEY - A young lineup and some openings played a part in a 54-18 loss to Sibley-Ocheyedan for the Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire Titan wrestlers Tuesday night. The Titans also came up short in a 59-18 loss to Emmetsburg earlier in the evening.

At 132 pounds, Austin Thompson received a win by forfeit, but at 138, Tyler Hoffman was pinned in 1:13 by Cole Hieronimus. The Titans forfeited the 145 pound match to S-O before Hunter Brown was pinned in :22 by Tyler Reck in the 152 pound match.

At 160, Kodi Ferguson was pinned in :30 by Tyler O'Connor and at 170, Matt McGrauth was pinned in 1:46 by Chris DeNoble.

Kevin Smith was pinned in :41 by Devin Hoekstra before the Titans forfeited the 195 pound match to the Generals to make the team score 42-6.

At 220, Kyle Long was pinned in 3:56 by Nic Salinas. Cody Thompson would earn a win by forfeit at 285 pounds before a pair of double forfeits at 106 and 113 pounds were exchanged.

Alex Hoffman would earn a 1:23 win by fall over Damon Monier in the 120 pound match before Sam George was pinned in 1:22 by Kyle Green to end the duel with a 54-18 final score.

"The kids wrestled hard their entire matches and gave one hundred percent all night,"?noted Titans Head Coach Michael Jensen. "We had couple of kids come up short against Sibley. All of the kids wrestled with a lot of heart but some made little mistakes that cost them the match. It was the same deal against Emmetsburg, but they all gave one hundred percent. This year is going to be a rebuilding year for our program that we look forward at taking on the challenge."

ask: I missed aprox. 5 pills on my first week......

By Anonymous
Rate This

Due to circumstances out of my control I missed aprox. 5 pills in my first week. I was told by several people that if I doubled up for a few days in a row to get caught up that I should be okay. After I got caught up I just kept on going through my pack like normal. I was due to hit my inactive pills on Sunday the 24th. Last week I had bleeding, it was spotting on and off and would get heavy during sex, at night, and some times randomly during the day. Since I've been on the pill my breasts have not gotten larger but have been fuller and have been slightly sore. Now they are bigger and are very sore. It hurts to slightly touch them. I have been feeling tierd lately but I have also just made a big and stressful move. Today out of no where I suddenly felt over-whelmed by the urge to be sick. I had pains in my lower abdomen and felt like I may need to throw up. About 5 mins later I had to rush to the bathroom because my belly was lurching and I knew I was going to be sick. I have also developed diarrhea in the last week. On top of that I had two UTI's in two weeks.

It is important to follow the instructions provided by your specific pill pack, and if you did not keep a copy, then you can search online under your specific brand, and the drug company usually has a pdf-version of the instructions.

Planned Parenthood has a wonderful site that details (in easy-to-read table format) what to do if you missed a pill (or 5)!

I understand missing pills, even up to 5, as many women travel and may have forgotten to pack their pills. Have you been taking your pills regularly since this time?

However...did you also have unprotected sex during that one-week time of missed pills? I'm confused by this, I guess.

According to the chart by Planned Parenthood (and, assuming your birth control pills are the combination pack):
"Missing 3 or more pills in week 1 means you need to:
- Take a pill as soon as you remember.
- Take the next pill at the usual time.
(This means you may take two pills in one day.)
- Use backup protection (condom) for the next seven days"

So, it is important to know when you had unprotected sex. Was it within the first 2 weeks of your pill pack?

When was the date of your last menstrual period, and what was the expected date of your next menstrual period? Am I correct that your period is due today (Sunday 24th)? The bleeding/spotting you are experiencing is a normal part of taking the pill irregularly.

I am skeptical on your symptoms as being signs of pregnancy, as those you mention are usually (not always) more indicative of pregnancy that is further along (you would only be a few weeks, and there is typically none to mild symptoms). I am also skeptical because the bleeding that you described is not usually considered normal in a viable pregnancy, but there are always exceptions (please remember: I am not your doctor, and am basing this information on the general population). However, many pregnancy symptoms do begin around the time of your expected period, but those same symptoms can also indicate pre-menstrual syndrome.

Have you started your period yet?
If no, have you taken a home pregnancy test? This is an important step, and can ease your mind and give you the information you are seeking. How do you feel about this?

You also mentioned UTIs. These are not a common sign/symptom of pregnancy, but do occur from bacteria in your urinary tract, most notably from intercourse.

Please let us know how you are doing, and if you need any help or support, whatever the results of your test.

Home / Browse / Vertac

The Vertac site in Jacksonville (Pulaski County) is one of the nation’s worst hazardous waste sites and Arkansas’s most publicized Superfund site. Cleanup of the area after its abandonment by its corporate owner took more than a decade, and the name “Vertac” soon became synonymous in Arkansas with the fear of industrial pollution, similar to how New Yorkers view Love Canal.

The Vertac site was originally part of the Arkansas Ordnance Plant (AOP), a World War II–era facility that manufactured various components of explosive devices, such as primers and detonators. In 1946, the federal government offered the AOP facilities for sale to private companies. The future Vertac site was purchased in 1948 by Reasor-Hill Company, which produced pesticides, as did the Hercules Powder Company, which bought the facility in 1961. Both of these companies manufactured the now-banned DDT, as well as 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) and 2,4,5-T (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid). Ten years after purchasing the facility, Hercules Powder Company began leasing the site to Transvaal, Inc., which bought the site in 1976 but filed for bankruptcy only two years later. In 1978, Vertac Chemical Corporation of Memphis, Tennessee, obtained the site.

The same year that the Vertac company began its tenure in Jacksonville, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the sale of herbicide 2,4,5-T, though it continued allowing the use of the chemical on rice fields. (Agent Orange, the defoliant used widely by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War, was equal parts 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T.) A byproduct of 2,4,5-T production is dioxins—extremely toxic chemicals linked to cancer, disorders of the nervous system, miscarriages, birth defects, spina bifida, and more. The city of Times Beach, Missouri, was evacuated in the early 1980s after federal investigators found high levels of dioxin in the city’s soil and water. More notorious was the Love Canal neighborhood of Niagara Falls, New York, which was the site of a chemical dump for Hooker Chemicals and Plastics Corporation; these chemicals seeped into the surrounding area and caused an outbreak of cancers, birth defects, and other health problems. President Jimmy Carter eventually declared the Love Canal area a state of emergency, and all residents were evacuated. The publicity these disasters received—along with Kentucky’s “Valley of the Drums,” described widely as “the nation’s poster child for industrial negligence”—led in 1980 to the passage of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA), commonly known as the Superfund law. Created to deal with abandoned sites of industrial pollution, CERCLA taxed and fined companies to recover clean-up costs and established containment procedures for such intensively polluted sites.

Both Hercules and Vertac had buried an untold number of dioxin-contaminated drums at the Jacksonville site. In 1979, the EPA investigated the Vertac site and found numerous drums releasing hazardous chemicals into the environment. The Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology (ADPC&E), later the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), forbade Vertac from continuing the manufacture of the very profitable 2,4,5-T and required the company to improve its practices of disposing of hazardous wastes. The discovery later that year of traces of dioxin in fish in a nearby creek led the EPA and the ADPC&E jointly to sue both Vertac and Hercules, and federal Judge Henry Woods ordered Vertac to prevent the spread of dioxin in the surrounding environment, most notably by constructing a wall around its waste pond. A 1979 article in Life magazine dubbed Jacksonville a “poisoned town.” After tests on June 9, 1985, the EPA warned local residents that local water wells were contaminated with dioxin. Meanwhile, still forbidden from manufacturing 2,4,5-T, Vertac began laying off employees through the next few years.

Jacksonville residents frequently received conflicting information about the level of contamination in their community. After further testing of local wells on July 11, 1985, the EPA retracted its earlier claim of dioxin contamination, citing potential laboratory errors for the initial report. Three years later, the EPA completely downgraded its assessment of dioxin’s toxicity, a decision that came under serious criticism, especially given other recently published studies on the detrimental effects of dioxin upon the immune system and its link with cancer. The EPA’s 1985 and 1988 retraction of previous dioxin claims did not help to stave off financial troubles for Vertac, however, and the company abandoned its Jacksonville site in 1987, declaring bankruptcy and leaving behind nearly 29,000 drums of chemical wastes, many already corroding; some 15,000 of these had been left outside, exposed to the elements.

The EPA declared the Vertac site a Superfund site and initiated the cleanup and containment process. The initial plan decided upon by the EPA and ADPC&E was to incinerate the waste at the Vertac site, but this met with opposition by local residents, some of whom filed a lawsuit in 1989 to prevent the incineration from taking place. Some of the first tests of this process were beset by technical problems, leading the ADPC&E to halt incineration for a while in 1991. Four separate legal actions to halt the incineration were eventually decided in the government’s favor, and by late 1994 more than 23,000 drums had been burned; the remainder was shipped to Coffeyville, Kansas, for incineration. After the incineration, the EPA proceeded to carry out clean-up on contaminated soil and destroy the remaining industrial structures.

On September 1, 1998, the city of Jacksonville marked the official end of the site’s cleanup, which cost more than $150 million. However, many residents continued to believe that not enough had been done to secure their safety. On April 23, 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court, after years of litigation, let stand a lower court ruling that held Hercules responsible for $120 million of the clean-up costs. By slipping into receivership, the Vertac company evaded any responsibility for the damages. The site is listed as safe by the EPA, but the legacy of industrial waste remains with the location and with the entire city of Jacksonville.

In 2000, the city acquired the northern section of the property, with a Superfund Redevelopment Initiative Pilot grant enabling reuse of the site. Site reuses include a recycling center, office space, storage, a fire department training facility, a driver training pad, a recycling education park, and a police firing range. A new police and fire training center, police department facilities, and an emergency operations center and community safe room for use during severe weather are also under construction.

Big Arkie

Big Arkie was a thirteen-foot-long alligator caught in 1952 near Hope (Hempstead County). He was the Little Rock Zoo’s main attraction for eighteen years. Weighing 500 pounds, Big Arkie was considered to be the largest alligator in captivity in the western hemisphere.

Big Arkie was spied by a young boy in a flooded pasture by Yellow Creek, which is west of Hope. Ed Jackson, caretaker of a local hunting club, was alerted and, with some companions, wrapped Big Arkie in a fifty-foot-long cable attached to a tractor. The alligator spent one night in Hope’s public children’s pool, encased in chicken wire. On the following day, he was delivered to the Little Rock Zoo, doubled up in a crate. When the truck containing Big Arkie arrived at the zoo’s alligator pit, it took seven men forty-five minutes to unload him. Raymond Gray, then director of the zoo, measured Big Arkie at nearly thirteen feet long.

No one could be sure how old Big Arkie was, as he was fully grown when captured. Big Arkie was an American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis. Alligators are found in only two places in the world: the southern United States and the lower Yangtze River valley in China.

On the first day of Big Arkie’s showing at the zoo, about 3,000 people came to see him. Big Arkie was the main zoo attraction for eighteen years; the zoo-keepers occasionally fed him by hand. When Big Arkie was at the height of fame, several people wanted to buy him. Upon hearing this, Gray said, “He’s not for sale at any price!” In the beginning of 1962, Big Arkie had a serious bout with a fungal infection around his jaws, caused by a vitamin D deficiency. The alligator was cured with the help of sun lamps, cod liver oil, and medicinal aerosol. Before he died, Big Arkie was not eating very well, so he was force-fed in the last years of his life.

At his death on July 30, 1970, Big Arkie weighed 346 pounds. The Big Arkie Memorial Fund paid $815 for him to be stuffed, mounted, and put back on display at the zoo. There, he was exhibited in the reptile house for several years. Because preservation conditions there were less than ideal, Big Arkie was moved to the lobby of the new Arkansas Game and Fish Commission building. Big Arkie later became part of the Herpetology Collection of the Museum of Zoology at Arkansas State University (ASU) in Jonesboro (Craighead County). The alligator is currently owned by Dr. Stanley E. Trauth, a professor of zoology at ASU.

I Love You Like a Blogger Roundup – 06/20

PlumeriaMy 18th wedding anniversary is coming up in just a few weeks.  Three years ago, Vonnie and I were at about the midway point in our debt management program.  We were making progress, but money was tight and I was looking for an inexpensive yet meaningful  gift to give her.   She absolutely LOVED the look and smell of plumeria flowers when we were in Hawaii, so I found a online company that sold plumeria plants.  Since they were shipped from Hawaii, all the leaves and branches had to be removed so essentially what I got for my $10 was a stick.  We laughed about the fact that I got her a stick for our anniversary, but we both knew what it represented.  The stick didn’t look like much, but we knew it had potential.  We knew that our finances were still in shambles, but just like that 8 inch stick in the middle of a flower pot it had enormous potential.

Three years later, that stick has grown into a massive indoor plant.  The instructions I got with the plant said that it would take 1-2 years before the plant would produce flowers so we have been waiting patiently.  Last week, after nearly three years, we were greeted with our very first plumeria blossom.  In fact, we can see that there is an entire cluster of flowers about to open.

Earlier this year we finished our debt management program.  Our finances and our relationship also are blossoming.  With hard work, constant watering and patience, both the plant and our finances are reaching their potential.

I think that’s worth a fist pump, don’t you?

  1. Congrats on 18 years! And yes, that’s definitely worth a fist pump!

    Thanks for including my post as well. I had fun writing it and I think people underestimate what you can find for free these days. Some people just want stuff GONE and don’t want to have to deal with it. I know I did that with the heavy dresser we hauled out to the curb.

    Hope you have a great weekend!

    • Travis says:

      People are so focused on getting the lowest price, sometimes they forget there are ways to actually get things for FREE! It’s kind of sad what kind of things people are willing to get rid of though, isn’t it???

  2. That’s awesome Travis! It’s so cool to see how patience, hard work and I’m sure quite a few other things turned out well on various counts! More importantly, congrats on your impending 18th anniversary – we just hit 13 a few weeks back. Thanks for the mention and have a great weekend sir!

  3. What a metaphor, eh? I LOVE plumerias so I’m with Vonnie on that! Congrats on 18 years together!

  4. Jacob says:

    Rock on brotha! 18 years is amazing! I’m coming up on 6 and it feels good.

  5. E.M. says:

    Congratulations! It’s awesome that everything has come together like that – symbolism at its finest =). I can see why Vonnie likes plumeria flowers, they are really pretty. Thank you for including my post, have a great weekend!

When glancing through last year's HD NFL schedule, there were still quite a few games that sadly didn't get the HD treatment it rightfully deserved, but in news that's sure to make those who just endured the painstaking NFL Draft a bit more jovial, that won't be the case in 2007 (or beyond). According to a snippet at SignOnSanDiego, CBS will reportedly be offering up "five or six games per week this season in high-definition, up from three a year ago." Additionally, the NFL has also declared that "all games must be shown in HD starting in 2008," which means that you can finally stop biting your nails about whether your team's matchup will be shot in HD. Four months and counting, folks.

How does Mikhail Bakhtin's idea of 'polyphonic' differ and or relate to Julia Kristeva's concept of 'intertextuality'?

Kristeva was influenced by Bakhtin's ideas in her own definition of intertextuality. Kristeva's starting point was Bakhtin's concept of heteroglossia, defined in one of the Enotes pages on Bahktin's The Dialogic Imagination, as "the dialogue of languages as it exists in a given era":

In any given work or utterance it is possible to distinguish words which belong to, or derive from, the work or utterance of another, or, more accurately, several, or even many, others.

A text is thus defined as a "polyphonic" construction where multiple meanings and points of view coexisted and struggled for preminence. Kristeva used this insight to elaborate her notion of "intertextuality", the process through which we define the meaning of a text in relation to other texts. The ultimate meaning of a text for a reader, Kristeva argued in Desire in Language, is not directly passed on from the author, but is negotiated by the reader who puts it in conversation with other texts.

The village Goldsmith is writing about is called "Auburn": it is not  real, but  an imaginary ideal one, possibly one of the villages he had observed as a child and a young man in Ireland and England. Goldsmith, the poet, returns to the village that he knew as vibrant and alive, and finds it deserted and overgrown.

The setting of the particular passage is described in the first three lines. Then Goldsmith discusses the character of the schoolmaster himself.  In his appearance, he is very severe and stern.  The reader would suppose him humourless, except that he likes to tell jokes.  When Goldsmith says "the boding tremblers learn'd to trace/The days disasters in his morning face," the reader comes to understand that the schoolmaster does not mince his words. In the last two lines, he indicates that the schoolmaster was no more.  All of his fame has gone and "the spot/Where many a time he triumph'd is forgot”

The schoolmaster was a big presence in the village. In an age when literacy and numeracy were powerful the people of the village, looked up to him. He seems a kind of god. The children are fearful of him. They laugh at his jokes, even if they are not funny. “Full well “(9-10)

 The adults are equally impressed with the way he can survey fields ("lands he could measure", 17) and work out boundaries or the times of holy-days like Easter. He can even do more complex calculations ("gauge", 18). This is all ironic: the school-teacher appears knowledgeable to the "gazing rustics" (22).

The poem's jokes are gentle, wry and genial. The tone of the poem is balanced  and gentleness and humour imply a frame of mind that Goldsmith sees as important, as having a moral value in itself.

Goldsmith is gently mocking the schoolmaster: he is big fish in a small pond. He can impress the villagers with his learning, just because he can read a bit of Latin and knows how to do his sums. The parson, as the religious leader of the village, is of course the most respected man, but the schoolmaster loves a good argument and keeps arguing even when defeated(19-20). On the other hand, this is a loving, endearing portrait. Here's a man who is modest and doing a good job in a quiet and simple place: helping to spread a little literacy and numeracy among the people of the village, helping them  in doing calculations about "terms". He is at the centre of a community - and Goldsmith is mourning the passing away of that community, the passing away of the village itself. That is why the lovely yellow flowers on the furze are "unprofitably gay" (2) - there is now no-one about to enjoy their beauty. The schoolmaster is gone long ago, with all the children of his school. A fine community has been lost.

So, this is an affectionate portrait of a community that is no more, and the school-house now deserted. The affectionate portrait of the schoolmaster is a part of this world that has passed away.

Banking Online

Entrepreneurs have been slow to adopt online banking--with good reason. But some banks are trying hard to win them over.
This story first appeared in the October 2005 issue of Entrepreneur. To receive the magazine, click here to subscribe.

In theory, the convenience and simplicity of online banking make it a godsend for busy entrepreneurs. Yet recent surveys show that small-company CEOs are slow to migrate their business banking online, lagging behind consumers and big companies.

A survey released in December 2004 by Forrester Research found that while small-business owners are active internet users, only 19 percent of those surveyed were actively using online banking, and just 13 percent were actively paying bills online. The "Small Business Research 2005 Study," performed by Edgar, Dunn & Co., a global financial services and payments consultancy, and Collective Dynamics, a management and technology consulting firm, found that while 57 percent of responding entrepreneurs used online banking daily or weekly, only half paid their bills online; 28 percent had no interest at all in online banking. Why? The most commonly cited reason, reports John Bresnahan, director at Edgar, Dunn & Co., was concern about internet security.

"Businesses of this size are very conscious of security," echoes Anita Campbell, CEO of Small Business Trends, a website that monitors trends in the global small-business market. "Every time we have one of these scares about credit card numbers or banking records being compromised, that gives business owners pause."

Indeed, the recent security lapses at major financial institutions have done nothing to quell business owners' fears of putting their account information on-line. Avivah Litan, vice president and research director at Gartner Inc.and author of several studies on online security, says their wariness is understandable. "They're not nearly as well-protected in the banking world as consumers are," she says, "especially when it comes to online information theft."

Federal regulations require banks to reimburse consumers for unauthorized transfers from their accounts, says Litan. But there is no corresponding legislation that protects small businesses. "Small businesses are kind of left behind when it comes to banking," says Litan. Until new regulations appear, if banks want business owners to feel more at ease, they'll have to "make their own liability guarantees," she says.

Wells Fargo is one of the few best banks to extend its theft protection beyond federal requirements. "The Wells Fargo online security guarantee covers our online business banking customers, whether for personal accounts or business accounts," says Richard Weeks, vice president of Wells Fargo's Business Internet Services. That may help explain why the company expects a 24 percent increase in their active online small-business customers in 2005.

It also helps that Wells Fargo, like a handful of other large banks, has found ways to tailor online banking products specifically to small business. One complaint registered by the Forrester survey respondents was that online offerings tend to be too cookie-cutter, modeled after consumer offerings that don't have the functionality small businesses need. Wells Fargo allows its small-business customers to provide varying levels of access to bookkeepers and other staffers, and it lets them pay federal taxes online. Its bill-pay service lets users label their payments based on accounts--personal or business--so they can get a better handle on cash flow. In addition, JPMorgan Chase's direct deposit payroll feature makes it simple for small employers to deposit salaries into employee bank accounts without having to outsource. At Bank of America, their Direct Service allows small-business owners to add on features or functions--such as foreign exchange payments--as they grow in size and their needs change.

Beyond ease of use and security, a major issue remaining for small-business adoption of online bill payment is having a variety of payment options, including credit cards. "Right now, it's mostly limited to payment by checking account," says Bresnahan. However, Wells Fargo allows customers to pay bills with a Wells Fargo credit card, and companies that receive payments through their own websites allow entrepreneurs to use whatever card they choose. That means that, for now, small-business owners--who often earn points, miles and discounts by paying with credit cards--may continue to pay their bills without help from their banks.

Freekeh and the Endless Wonders of the Plant World

by Regina Schrambling
on 02/17/12 at 04:58 PM

The other night we were pacing up and down in front of the long meat counters at Whole Foods, frustratedly trying to decide on protein after passing up the seafood, and it struck me, again, how limited your options are when it comes to animal parts. The same things I learned to cook in restaurant school nearly 30 years ago are still the four meat groups: beef, pork, lamb and poultry. (I know people keep saying goat is the coming thing, but we ate that when I was a kid. And I'm old.)

We finally settled on skirt steak but also picked up some broccolini and came home and had it with freekeh. Neither of the latter two ingredients was easily available not so long ago, especially the green grains. Which is why the plant kingdom rules.

Freekeh in particular seems to have come out of nowhere even though it's been around as long as wheat has been grown. I first tuned in on it after doing a story on chefs who cook whole grains not because they're good for you but because they're (excuse me) freakin' great. A number of chefs are treating them like rice in risotto, but after I tried that I went straight to simply boiling the grains and found they're as seductive as popcorn. Freekeh costs more than many meats, but a pound goes a long way. I think we got two meals out of $1.25 worth because the grains expand.

Everyone says insects will be the protein of the future. And I've eaten grasshoppers and liked them. But even when they turn up in meat cases everywhere, I suspect we will not have exhausted all the possibilities in the produce and bulk-food aisles.

The Mayor Who Ate Manhattan

by Regina Schrambling
on 02/01/13 at 05:00 PM

I was not the only one who remembered Ed Koch best as a quintessential New York food lover after hearing of the former mayor's death this a.m. Bon Appetit got a nice roundup of his restaurant habits up early, but my flashback was to a story last summer on how he renovated the kitchen at Gracie Mansion. Even at home, food mattered; he got an indoor grill installed, a rarity way back when. (The slide show has him egging on a photographer [something about digging around in old news stories brings out terrible puns].)

Koch's chef at the time now oversees the food at Fairway's café, where I often spotted the NYC legend having lunch at a window table over Broadway. (I have never seen any of his successors at all, anywhere.) An out-of-town friend e-reminded me we know someone who also cheffed for Koch. As he noted: "i remember her saying the drawback was you had to be 'on' at all hours. he'd show up at 11 p.m. at the mansion with a group and want a spread." And that's also very New York: kvetching about a primo gig.

One thing I learned from the BA piece was that the Heimlich posters now in all restaurants were mandated after Koch's near-death experience with watercress in a Chinese restaurant. But the biggest surprise was that the food world's most odious word is not as recent a coinage as you might think. As far back as 1987, "foodie" was corroding the discourse.

Dulce de Leche Ice Cream recipe

Photo by Romulo Yanes

This is not just the best dulce de leche ice cream we've ever had, it's one of the best ice creams we've ever had, period. The most blissful thing about it is that it's not too sweet; the delicate caramel essence isn't obscured by sugar. And since it's not a custard-based ice cream, it's easy to make.

Excellent recipe. It turned out very creamy and has a great flavor. It was very easy to make and I will make this one again for sure.

So good. So easy. I also made my own dulce de leche by boiling the sweetened condensed milk. I used butter almonds instead of pecans and it was just delish and got rave reviews.

OMG good! Doubled the recipe for a party. Used the ol' boiled can method in a really large full pot of water to make the Dulce de Leche - lazy control freak LOL. Since I used low fat milk and was afraid of icey ice cream I did go the custard route and added a couple of eggs - bringing the whole thing temp and strained before chilling. Made ice cream sandwiches with the Triple-Chocolate Cookie on this site. Over-the-top praise for this one! 2/3 with nuts (my preference) 1/3 without. An unexpected pleasure for my guest who loved, loved, loved them and the presentaiton. (wrapped in wax and tucked inside those newspaper looking bags they sell for Belgian fries). They felt like kids again.

I made it even easier. I combined milk, cream and dulce de leche in the blender, then froze it. I loved the toasted pecans in it. Real good. I made it again with a container of caramel apple dip; mmm. I have a Krups ice cream maker and I love it.

After striking out at our local grocery store's "international aisle," I went to a local "Bodega Latina" to find the dulce de leche. Could only buy Nestle brand, though, which may have been the problem. The ice cream was pretty good - esp. for dulce de leche - but not spectacular ice cream. My husband loved it but I wasn't as excited. It was really easy to make, though. (And I omitted the pecans.)

A Cook from Richmond, Va. / 07.30.07

We loved it. We also didn't make the ice cream with the nuts, but it didn't seem to matter; it disappeared with all deliberate speed. We added a little more vanilla and in our opinion, it was made all the better for it.

A Cook from Berkeley / 07.28.07

We made this ice cream in the "Mega Ball" ice cream maker (no electricity). It was so good, we made it the next day. We did not add the pecans to the ice cream, but rather toasted them for sprinkling on the top (that way, we didn't get squishy nuts). Also, I like La Parilla dulce de leche, because the Salamandra brand is a little gritty to me. The second time we made it, we probably guilded the lily by increasing the vanilla to 1 tsp. and adding a pinch of Mexican cinnamon, but boy was it good.

Fantastic, and easy! Rave reviews at a dinner party. I just boiled a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk for about 2 hours, making sure water level remains above the can (be sure to watch this - can can explode if you don't or boil more than 2 hours). Cool can, and use as dulce de leche. I just added 1 tbsp of sugar as the caramel was only about 1 1/8 cups. This was absolutely amazing, and toasting the pecans makes a huge difference.

Mascarpone Cheesecake with Quince Compote recipe

Photo by Noel Barnhurst

Made with heavy cream and gelatin instead of eggs, this no-bake cheesecake has the silky texture of panna cotta. Begin preparing it at least one day ahead.

YIELD: Makes 12 servings

  • 1 1/3 cups pecans, toasted
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted
  • 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 1/2 cups whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (from 2 envelopes)
  • 3 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese* (about 28 1/2 ounces; from four 8-ounce containers)
  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, sifted

For crust:
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coarsely grind nuts with brown sugar in processor. Blend in melted butter. Press mixture over bottom (not sides) of 9-inch-diameter springform pan with 2 1/2-inch-high sides. Bake until crust is set, about 12 minutes. Cool crust completely.

For filling:
Pour 3 cups cream into medium bowl. Pour 1/4 cup water into small heatproof bowl; sprinkle gelatin over. Let stand 15 minutes. Place bowl with gelatin in small skillet of barely simmering water; stir until gelatin dissolves, about 2 minutes. Remove bowl from water. Pour remaining 1/2 cup cream into gelatin. Pour gelatin mixture into cream in bowl; whisk gently until well blended.

Using electric mixer, beat mascarpone and powdered sugar in large bowl until smooth. Beat in cream-gelatin mixture just until smooth. Pour filling over cooled crust. Cover and chill overnight. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.)

Using small sharp knife, cut around pan sides to loosen cheesecake. Remove pan sides. Place cake on platter. Cut cake into wedges and serve with compote.

*Italian cream cheese available at Italian markets and many supermarkets.

I found this cheesecake truly delightful however the recipe seemed to miss something OR my interpretation of it anyway. It wasn't texturally like panna cotta by any stretch. I think that warming ALL the cream would go along way to solve that. I WILL make this again and the quince compote was sensational.

Roasted Turkey Breast with Corn Bread-Sage Stuffing and Brandy Gravy

Roasted Turkey Breast with Corn Bread-Sage Stuffing and Brandy Gravy recipe

Photo by Lara Ferroni

The Thanksgiving turkey conundrum: How to keep the breast meat from drying out while the dark meat finishes cooking? By roasting a bone-in turkey breast by itself, we've eliminated the stress and cut the cooking time by several hours. What you get is perfectly moist, tender white meat with crisp, salty skin—all in under an hour. If you don't have time to make the gravy, skip it. This succulent bird doesn't need it.

YIELD: Makes 4 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 45 to 55 minutes

For stuffing:
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh sage
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock
  • 4 cups stale corn bread, crumbled into large pieces
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
For turkey:
  • One 3 1/2- to 4-pound bone-in turkey breast, halved at the breast bone (see Tips, below)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
For gravy:
  • One 1 1/2-ounce container veal or chicken demi-glace
  • 1 tablespoon brandy
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream

Make stuffing:
Preheat oven to 425°F and grease 9-by 13-inch roasting pan.

In large skillet over moderately high heat, melt butter. Add onion, celery, garlic, nutmeg, pepper, and bay leaf, and sauté until vegetables soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir in sage and cook 30 seconds more. Stir in stock and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

Put corn bread in large bowl and pour vegetables over. Toss to mix well. Add eggs and stir to combine.

Make turkey:
Rinse breast halves and pat dry. Season generously with kosher or coarse sea salt and freshly ground pepper, and rub all over with olive oil.

Mound stuffing in center of roasting pan and arrange turkey on top, making sure breast halves aren't touching. Roast until thermometer inserted into thickest part of turkey (do not touch bone) registers 170°F and juices run clear when pierced with fork, 45 to 55 minutes.

Make gravy while turkey is roasting:
In small saucepan over moderately high heat, combine demi-glace, 1/2 cup water, and brandy. Bring to boil, stirring until smooth. Stir in butter, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until gravy thickens, about 1 minute. Stir in cream and season with freshly ground pepper. Serve hot, over turkey and stuffing.

Tips: • It's easiest and fastest to ask your butcher to split the turkey breast in half for you. But this can also be done at home: Use a heavy, sharp knife and don't be afraid to whack the breast at the wishbone several times until it comes apart. Slicing the skin down along the breastbone before you start cutting is also helpful.
• If your corn bread isn't stale, spread out slices on a baking pan in a 200°F oven until they feel dry and crumbly. (Depending upon how moist the loaf is, this can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.) Then crumble up the slices. Any leftover stale bread—rolls, focaccia, even bagels—can be substituted for the corn bread.
—In the gravy, bourbon, whisky, wine, port, or vermouth can be used instead of brandy.

list of seizure service dog websites in west U.S.?

Does anyone have a list of seizure service dog website addresses in the U.S.?  I'm looking for a seizure alert dog, but also one that can protect me from strangers who might want to steal my purse while I am seizing. These dogs are extremely expensive $20K - $25K and have long waiting lists. (Over 1,500 people each.)

Thank you,

Company: John Deere

John Deere’s 160G LC and 210G LC excavators feature the design of a more comfortable cab and Interim Tier4-certifed (IT4) engines.

    Second visit to this retreat and it was as good as the first time. Quiet and peaceful would be a good description with extermly good accommodation and very friendly staff. We stayed for three nights this time and this was just right. Check for Seniors deals when available as they can be very rewarding. ...more

    We stayed in villa three with an amazing bathroom (wonderful spa bath), beautiful and delightfully comfy four poster bed, fireplace, and little balcony with a frog pond complete with waterfalls. The champagne and chocolate on arrival were delicious as was breakfast. The walk down lovers lane and the view is not to be missed. I would be back here in a heartbeat if I could! ...more

    Absolutely fantastic. Only down side is that we didn't stay long enough to really take advantage of all The Escarpements facilities (2 nights). Also loved the fact that we were a short walk from the St Bernard Hotel where we had a wonderful meal. Will definitely be back for a much longer stay. ...more

    The Perfect Escape 17 mins ago

    We stayed in Villa 5 on the 10-12 July 2015 and it was amazing. This little getaway was our babymoon before our new arrival joins us in a couple of months and we couldn't have chosen a better location. The villa was beautifully decorated with lots of wood and had a lovely warm feeling. The log fire was a great alternative to reverse aircon which usually reeks havoc on my sinuses. The staff were really friendly and welcoming especially the chef who made the most amazing pancakes! We loved the twin bath too, it was so nice to relax in the bath together just enjoying each others company. We will definitely be back。.. ...more

You may not immediately recognize Taryn Manning when she shows up on Orange Is the New Black. You may forget that, in addition to playing a meth-mouthed prisoner, she was also one of this year's Playboy Playmates. So it goes, but one of the best parts of Netflix's new series is the fantastic ensemble cast. Laura Prepon and Jason Biggs may be the "star hooks," but the inmates that surround Prepon and lead Taylor Schilling steal scenes in each episode. And Manning's one of the best of the lot. She plays Tiffany "Pennsatucky" Doggett, a Jesus loving, former meth-head in for murder. She's certainly not lovable, but like all great terrible people on TV these days, she's fascinating to watch. Over the years, Manning's been quite active, with a short but sweet arc on Sons of Anarchy, plus stand-out parts in 8 Mile and Hustle and Flow. spoke to Manning earlier this week from her home in Los Angeles about her role on Orange Is the New Black (which she just got a promotion on) her own spirituality, the one record she'd listen to before going to prison, and more.

Advertisement - Continue Reading Below

ESQ: On Orange Is the New Black, you play Pennsatucky, Piper's nemesis. Is this your first proper villain you've played?

TARYN MANNING: If you're going to use a term "proper," it's not my first villain. I guess in this context, yeah, definitely. At first it wasn't really written...she's just a unique character who is angry and on her own trip. It's funny, because [creator] Jenji [Kohan] came to the set towards the end of filming and she's like, and don't quote me exactly, but she's like "girl, I don't want this character to be one-dimensional: religious, ignorant, mad at the world, but you? You are crazy." Which was a compliment, I reckon. When I read the book, my character lasted about a paragraph. Maybe a page. But that's my character. It was pretty clear, right from the top when I got the offer that the characters have been slightly embellished to make for good TV.

More From Esquire

ESQ: We want good TV.

TM: Right. Obviously, as soon as you put an actor to a person who is real, that person comes to life through another person. Nothing's ever truly accurate. You know what I'm saying. There was some consulting and I was prompted to do certain amounts of research and watch certain things. I designed the character after doing all this research, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

ESQ: What did you research?

TM: It was very similar to that documentary The Wonderful Whites of West Virginia. It's really a little peak into "wow." There's truly people that live this live: unapologetically. And they don't know really any difference. They don't know any different than their block or mobile-home park. But they know everything about everything, you know?

ESQ: And your character is in jail for murder.

TM: Yeah, at a clinic — the nurse that comes into sign her out, makes a snarky comment and it just sets her off. She just has it.

ESQ: Would someone that committed such a violent crime be in a minimal security prison like this?

TM: It's funny you ask that. I've been asked that particular question many times and I'm actually quite curious too. I don't want to give anything away, but when she does the crime, there happens to be a bunch of Christian picketers out front. So if there's any truth to this story, she has super high-end lawyers. You know what a good lawyer can do for anybody.

ESQ: She's a religious fanatic. How fanatic are you about religion these days?

TM: I'm very, very, very, very spiritual. I grew up in an organized religion, I went to Sunday school as a kid. I'm very grateful that there was religion. I think it instills a good moral compass. Everybody thinks because of my character that I'm this wild girl and I am, I'm an actor, and I have that in me — but I'm actually very calm and mellow. I meditate twice a day. I chant. I lean more towards Buddhist practices. I'm not a part of any organized practices, but I believe heavily on love and the universe and what you give is what you get. I really try to live my life as most positively as I can in this business.

ESQ: Is it weird that this show is about prisoners, people who broke the law, but we kinda love all the inmates?

TM: Such a hard question. I feel like by no means are we trying to exploit prison as a place you want to go.

ESQ: Right.

TM: It's such an ironic show because of what you just said. But there is a fascination. I don't know about you, if I'm flipping through the channels, and I see Lock Down, the shows that are all based around prison, I'm fascinated for some reason. It's one of those things that not everybody will get to experience, nor should they want to. There are likable characters in prison. Sometimes the worst criminals are also some of the most charming people.

ESQ: Pennsatucky isn't one of the one's you'd want to hang out with first. Is there any part of her that you like?

TM: I love her conviction. I love her passion. I love her confidence. I love the way she walks. She's angry, but I don't think she cares about the way she looks. She's definitely not happy about her teeth, she makes that very clear. She almost has this elitist thing, like [in a Pennsatucky voice] Who does she think she is? That's something I love about her. It's so authentic. It's like, damn, she doesn't care. There's no reasoning with her. Only with God.

ESQ: Uninformed confidence is still confidence.

TM: [Laughs.] I know. Exactly.

ESQ: This isn't the first bad girl you've played. Why are you so good at playing bad?

TM: [Laughs.] Maybe because no one's gotten to see me play good? There's a couple of films I've done...I'm pretty hard on myself. Every now and again I'll go on my IMDB or update my resume and I'm like, "man, I've done a lot of work." So much work that people haven't seen. I have played some very kind and loving character. I don't know why I'm so good at playing bad. I really don't. I've seen a lot in my life. My dad was pretty gnarly but I loved him and I wouldn't change it for the world. My mom's a survivor.

ESQ: You're also a musician and a DJ. Have you been working on any new music?

TM: Every time I'm not on a project, I'm writing or in the studio or doing gigs DJing. I grew up in a very musical household. There was music and dance. My great-grandma was a famous tap dancer in the '40s, my mom was a dancer, she met my dad on the road when he was on tour in the '60s. Music is my heart and soul, it's my love. I just put out a song four days ago. It's called "Summer Ashes."

ESQ: What's an easier space to work in, acting or music?

TM: [Pauses.] Man. Huh. I mean as far as making a living, acting has been much more lucrative. Music's been tough. I was signed with my brother for Dreamworks and we had an amazing run with our band [Boomkat]. I never wanted to stop. I feel like to the day I die I'll play guitar and sing.

ESQ: When you're DJ'ing these days, what's on heavy rotation?

TM: I guess when I"m lost in the moment, I just kinda go...I definitely lean towards dance music. Anything with a BPM of 120 or up. But then Daft Punk just came out with this album. It's slowly morphing the music industry. Right now, dance music is very popular. I'm sure you're very aware. But I think things are changing. Things are going back to more organic, more instrumentation, more live instrumentation.

ESQ: IMDB and the Internet say you're related to the Manning brothers — the football players. Is this true?

TM: I'm not. That is definitely out there somewhere.

ESQ: Do you like football?

TM: Oh, yeah, yeah, I love football, and I think they're great [Laughs.] They're very tall and big and I'd be like "what ancestors did they come from?" But no, we're not directly related.

ESQ: I'm going to ask this next question and you can't say "that's too hard." Deal?

TM: Okay...

ESQ: You're going to prison and about to serve your sentence. What's the last record you listen to before heading out?

TM: [Long pause.] Like front to back?

ESQ: Yeah. Like your last meal.

TM: Nirvana.

ESQ: Nevermind?

TM: Yeah. Because I'd have this rage and I'd be obviously bummed and that album is such a vast array of emotion. I've studied so much about Kurt Cobain. I know how much pain he was in, physically with his stomach issues and how much journalism destroyed him and his family. He loved Courtney very, very much and his daughter. I'm very passionate about him and I feel like though he made such an incredible album, he was never really able to enjoy it. Because of the journalism, you know? He was wrongfully accused in a sense and I guess that just reminds me of going to prison. Not everybody is a sociopath and people have regret about what they've done.

ESQ: I feel like you've thought about this before.

TM: [Laughs.] Alright. So what's your next damn question?

What do you think?

 Vintage Vamp: Patra, Dancehall Queen | Essence.com

Vintage Vamp: Patra, Dancehall Queen

Ever since Rihanna's "Rude Boy" first dropped, we've been nostalgic for Nineties reggae artist, Patra...the original dancehall queen. The gorgeous Kingston, Jamaica native first surfaced on Shabba Ranks' 1993 song, "A Family Affair," and soon racked up hits of her own, including "Worker Man," "Pull Up to the Bumper" and "Romantic Call" (please check out the video, if you haven't -- it co-stars Tupac, Yo-Yo, and an impressive number of black sportsbras). We adored her fun, wiggly-sexy, mid-90s dancehall sound, but her look might have been even more far-reaching than her music! With her rich, almond-brown complexion, smoldering eyes and long, thick "dookie" braids, the 20-year-old quickly became a style icon (some would argue that she even influenced a "Poetic Justice"-era Janet Jackson's look!). Post-1990s, Patra's singing career styled, but we'll always love her uber-confident, in-your-face hotness. Wherever you are, Patra, we hope you're making a "romantic call!"

Adjunct Professor (Spring 2016)
Classical and non-classical musics of South and Southeast Asians and Asian-Americans; field methodology; ethnographic film in ethnomusicology; music and the sacred; applied and public sector ethnomusicology
Ph.D. Brown University; M. Mus. Yale University; B.A. Vassar College
Sidi Goma website

Amy Catlin-Jairazbhoy's research, writing, teaching, curatorial activities, and multi-media publications often have an applied focus, aimed at community development of minority traditions, especially in diasporic settings. She served as curator and presented the first concert and lecture tour outside India with a group of African-Indian Sidi performers from Gujarat, in September 2002, traveling with them in England and Wales. Her recent publications include Sidi Sufis: African Indian Mystics of Gujarat (Apsara Media 2002: 79-minute CD), the volume co-edited with Indian Ocean historian Edward Alpers, Sidis and Scholars: Essays on African Indians (New Delhi: Rainbow Publications and New Jersey: Africa World Press, 2003), the DVD The Sidi Malunga Project (2004), and the DVD From Africa to India: Sidi Music in the Indian Ocean Diaspora (with Nazir Ali Jairazbhoy) (2003). Funding for her research has come from such agencies as NEA, NEH, the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, the American Philosophical Society, Fulbright, the Indo-US Subcommission, and the American Institute of Indian Studies.

Her most recent publication is the DVD, Music for a Goddess (2008), a continuing applied ethnomusicology project concerning Dalit (formerly known as Untouchable) Devidasis (women musicians dedicated to the Goddess) of the Deccan (India's central plateau, where the most severe rural poverty reigns in many regions).

Catlin-Jairazbhoy studied piano, voice, and musicianship at the Peabody Conservatory from 1961-1966, teaching there and at the Junior Composers Camp (now the Walden School) from 1964-1966 as a protege of its founder, Grace Cushman, who fostered creative explorations of non-Western musical systems. Sensing the need for intercultural understanding as evidenced by America's involvement in the Vietnam War, she left the Conservatory for a liberal arts education at Vassar College, where she continued her keyboard improvisations for modern dance classes, attending Wesleyan University classes in India's music. Concluding that music was her best tool for promoting interculturalism, she enrolled at Yale University School of Music, intensifying her Indian music studies at Wesleyan, as part of her doctoral coursework at Brown University, with concentrations in Ethnomusicology, South and Southeast Asia (Bali) and Anthropology.

For over 30 years Catlin- Jairazbhoy has studied classical and folk musics in India, where she continues to perform Western classical and Indian-influenced contemporary musics in concerts, oratorios, schools and orphanages, and on All India Radio. Her career is dedicated full-time to music scholarship, field research and documentation, community advocacy, and performance, integrating her Western classical vocal training with non-classical, non-Western music.

She curated and performed in "Mystic Voices: Music of Devotion in Islam and Hinduism" for the first World Festival of Sacred Music, where her singing was described as "...lustrous..." (The Los Angeles Times, October 14, 1999).

Catlin-Jairazbhoy's courses at UCLA have include Field and Laboratory Methods, Applied Ethnomusicology, Music of Asia, Classical Music of South India, Classical Music of India, Folk Music of South Asia, Music of Europe and the Americas, Music and Ethnographic Film, Music and the Sacred, and the World Arts and Cultures Senior Colloquium.

Hey all,

Thought some of you might be interested in this info:  Her actual lecture has passed, but apparently, there is an exhibit at the JFK museum exploring the hospitality of Jackie-O (viewing the WH through that lens or something...) Enjoy!

Good gracious.  I'm in metro Boston and at 5:30 on Monday was sitting around doing nothing.  I'm so disappointed!  (And I wish I could have forced my sister's future in-laws to attend, but that would have been rude.)
