Seriously Italian: Eggplant 'A Fungetielli'
Editor's note: On Thursdays, Babbo pastry chef Gina DePalma checks in with Seriously Italian. After a stint in Rome, she's back in the States, channeling her inner Italian spirit via recipes and intel on delicious Italian eats. Take it away, Gina!
I couldn't help it. They were calling to me: black, shiny, bulgingly beautiful eggplants, piled high at the market. Magnifica! The skin was so smooth and glossy, I could have reapplied my lip gloss in its reflection. Sometimes a vegetable beckons in unexpected ways, compelling and beguiling. I lost my head and loaded up.
Mom rolled her eyes when I got home. "That's a lot of eggplant." She was right; I went overboard, and as the spell wore off, I could see that we were now in possession of enough eggplant to feed an infantry division. My mother is renowned in our family for her excellent melanzane ripiene (stuffed eggplant), but it is a labor-intensive dish that involves a lengthy bake in the oven, something we try to boycott on summer evenings. I could see her wheels turning, expecting me to ask for my favorite supper.
We'll figure it out a compromise, I'm sure, and I'll have a wealth of eggplant posts stored up for the future, but tonight I'm making a classic Neapolitan eggplant preparation, Melanzane a Fungetielli. Translated, it means "eggplant cooked like mushrooms"—sautéed with garlic, black olives, and tomatoes, and embellished with fresh herbs. I've often searched through my piles and piles of Italian cookbooks, looking for the actual mushroom dish with the same ingredients, but like many regional specialties it could be an aberration, a hybrid, or the evolution of a long-forgotten original recipe. In some local dialects this dish is called Melanzane a Funghetto. I just call it delicious.
Eggplant is a fine conductor of the flavors it is cooked in, especially if you salt it and drain away the bitter liquid. When browned and then simmered with olive oil, the eggplant develops a soft, silky, luxurious texture. The black olives and capers add a bit of pungent dimension, and the tomato ties it all together. The bright flavor of fresh herbs makes it shine.
The recipe below makes enough to reserve some to serve as a side dish—alone, hot or cold, as antipasti, or with a timballo of cooked rice. As a pasta sauce, it works nicely with some of the traditional short pasta shapes of Naples, such as maccheroni, paccheri, or gramigna, but in the absence of these, I reached for the penne rigate we already had in our pantry.
Give this dish a try this summer, when your market is bursting with local eggplant. It works with the big, black purple ones, or the smaller, longish Japanese eggplants. Don't confuse it with Sicilian caponata; although it shares some ingredients, the flavor is pleasantly mellow and less complex, simple and beguiling—like a shiny eggplant itself.
Penne with Eggplant "a Fungetielli"
4 cups eggplant, cut into 1/2 inch cubes Kosher salt 1/2 cup olive oil 2 large cloves of garlic 3/4 cup black olives, pitted and chopped 2 tablespoons capers, drained 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes 1/2 cup tomato puree, or diced canned tomatoes 1/2 cup water A few grinds of fresh black pepper 2-3 sprigs fresh basil, finely chopped 1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley 1 tablespoon finely chopped mint 1/2 lb. penne rigate or mezze rigatoni
1. Sprinkle the eggplant cubes evenly with two large pinches salt, and place them in a colander over a large bowl; place a paper towel over the eggplant and weigh it down with a heavy can or pot. Let it sit for one hour to allow the bitter eggplant juices to drain away.
2. Rinse the eggplant cubes well and pat them thoroughly dry on all sides with paper towels.
3. Heat the half-cup of olive oil in a heavy sauté pan or pot. Peel the garlic cloves and smash them with the flat side of a knife; add them to the oil and cook for a minute or so, until the garlic turns light golden. Remove the garlic cloves and discard them.
4. Cook the eggplant in the oil in batches, stirring until it is brown and crisp at the edges; drain the cooked eggplant on layers of paper towels.
5. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
6. Return all the eggplant to the hot pan and add the olives, capers and cherry tomatoes; season with a tiny bit of salt and a few grinds of black pepper, and sauté for a minute or so, stirring. Add the tomato puree or diced tomatoes and water, then lower the heat and simmer the mixture gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the eggplant is soft.
7. While the eggplant is cooking, add the pasta to the pot of boiling water and cook, stirring often, until it is al dente. Add a few spoons of the pasta cooking water to the eggplant as needed to keep it loose and moist.
8. Add the herbs to the pan and stir to combine all the flavors. Remove about one and a half cups of the cooked eggplant mixture to serve another time. Drain the pasta, reserving some of the cooking water, and add it to the pan; add a few splashes of pasta cooking water to loosen and help distribute the sauce.
9. Transfer the pasta to a hot serving platter or bowl. Serve immediately, passing your favorite grated, aged cheese.

NASA thinks its Mars rovers just might keep going and going and going.
The space agency has funded another extension of their mission, for an additional six months, if they last.
The latest funding came as NASA regained reliable contact with the rovers Spirit and Opportunity after a 12-day period in which Mars passed nearly behind the sun, Jet Propulsion Laboratory said
The rovers, which have found evidence of past water activity on the Red Planet, landed on opposite sides of Mars in January and completed their primary, three-month missions on the surface in April.
The rovers have since completed about five months of their first extension.
"Spirit and Opportunity appear ready to continue their remarkable adventures," Andrew Dantzler, solar system division director at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., said in a written statement.
The rovers did no driving during the period in which the sun was between Earth and Mars. Commanding of activities resumed for Opportunity on Monday and for Spirit on Tuesday.
Project manager Jim Erickson at JPL said it was a relief to get through the past two weeks: Not only were communications disrupted, but it was also the worst part of winter in Mars' southern hemisphere, in terms of the sunlight available to the solar-powered rovers. The solar energy situation should improve in January.
"Although Spirit and Opportunity are well past warranty, they are showing few signs of wearing out," Erickson said in a statement. "We really don't know how long they will keep working, whether days or months. We will do our best to continue getting the maximum possible benefit from these great national resources."

text: chefmel Posted May 17, 2009 Hi Everyone,Well, its been 3 weeks since I returned from Bardstown/Deatsville and what a great trip I had! The lady I got connected with (her father worked at the distillery for a time) was fantastic and set me up with a couple of people who had worked with my uncle at the distillery. One was John Mayer, who had purchased a large tract of land from my Uncle many years ago and also new him personally. He was a treasure trove of personal info on my Uncle as well as lots of info about the distillery. I visited the old homestead just up the road from the distillery and to my suprise, the foundation, fireplace and part of the chimney are still standing of my Uncle's old house! On that same piece of property stands the old spring house still standing and you could still here the spring gurgling inside. This spring supplied the distillery about 1/4 mile away, and later the Samuels Springs water company which was the final production at the distillery. I also had an enjoyable visit with a one James Allen Wiggs who worked at the distillery for 15 years before retiring from Jim Beam. He told me that the distillery in it's hey day was one of the largest in the country. I spent 3 days in the geneology room at the Bardstown library going through microfilm of the local newspaper. I had forgotten how much time it takes to look through microfilm! I only got through 3 years of the 30 years my uncle was involved. I did find one interesting article:From the Oct. 28th. 1942 newspaper, there was an article about the "Sale of Distillery in Deatsville - Capital stock of Country Distillers' Products bought by Foster & Company". It mentions that Foster & Co. was a partnership out of New York and was formed on July 30th. The officers of the company at that time were: President - Stanhope Foster of Great Neck, Long Island, NY, Vice Presidents - S.L. Westerman (my great uncle) of Detroit and Martin R. Doane of Joplin, Mo.; It mentions Mr. Doane will be replacing T. Williams Samuels who is no longer with the company as VP in charge of operations in Deatsville. The article goes on the mention that the personnel at the plant (nearly 800 employees) will remain intact and then it lists the department heads: Charles R. DeSpain - General Manager; Lee G. Brown - bottling; A.D. Campbell - warehouse; Gordon A. Graves - engineering; E.J. Snellen - maintenance; Ballard N. Coates - stock room; Jacob Wommer - labratory; Charles L. Spalding - personnel director and M.G. Keeling - head of the guards. It also mentions C.J. Rittman as being in charge of the office personnel and L.A. Rickert as the purchasing agent. It mentions that the distillery was one of the largest in the area producing grain alchohol for the war effort. An interesting note on this article - I found out reading the following weeks paper that the warehouse foreman, A.D. Campbell, passed away the following week! There was one other article of interest I found from around the end of 1943. The distillery was sued for 5 million dollars by the OPA for selling liquor at more than the ceiling price. It says that this was the first such suit in Kentucky since price controls were started.I was very fortunate to be able to tour the old distillery in Deatsville thanks to wku88 (Todd) and his cousin Jim for arranging this for me. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity to walk through many of the buidlings where my Uncle once walked! There still is a lot of original equipment in the buildings, especially in the bottlehouse and powerhouse - amazing that stuff is still there after so many years! I really can't thank those two gentleman enough for getting me inside the fence - it was fantastic! I have lots of pictures to remind me of my time there. I managed to come away with a few items during my time there. I came across a couple of manilla folders with distillery paperwork that I haven't yet sorted through. I also came across a small box of T.W. Samuels labels which I was told were 1/2 pint labels and dated from the 1960's and 1970's. Here are the brands I've documented from those labels:1. T.W. Samuels, no proof or age statement. The currentl label looks a lot like this one.2. T.W. Samuels, back label to go with the above label, 86 proof, 4 years old, has a brief history on the distillery.3. Samuels 1844, 86 proof, 4 years old4. Kenbrook Deluxe Blended Whiskey, no proof or age.5. Old Jordan, no proof, 6 years old, bottled by Old Jordan Distillery, Deatsville, Nelson County, Ky.6. T.W. Samuels BIB, no age or proof, but I assume since it's BIB it would be 100 proof.7. Samuels Ninety, no age or proof, but once again, I'm assuming it's probably 90 proof by looking at the name.8. T.W. Samuels, 90 proof, no age, looks almost like the BIB label. Both this label and the BIB label are really nice looking.Well, that's all for now. Soon, I will tell you about the special find I made and maybe I'll be able to sort through the papers I have by then and give you some additional info.Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Student or Learner
Dear Teachers
I am planning to study in the UK to brush up my spoken English. My friend suggests that I better choose a place which has more native English speakers, so he said Exeter (about 90% native English) is better than London (about 50% native, a lot of foreigners).
What is your take on that? Or how about Scotland? I was once told by a retired senior banker (from HSBC) that people in Inverness speak the best English. I am not sure if it is true or not, and it is a good place for me to polish my spoken English in Inverness.
Please advise.
Anthony the learner
Unless the foreigners in London are from the same country as you, then you'll have to speak English to them anyway. So in that respect, it doesn't really make much difference.

Ben Lzicar, bro, took one of those ugly old beer kegs and turned it into an admittedly flashy piece of PC gaming kit. And, surprising no one, he made sure it had a bottle opener attached to the side.
It's an impressive casemod, to be sure, but surely I'm not the only one thinking version 2.0 will include some kind of ice cold beer cooling system? [Ben's Facebook Album via technabob]

Hi Launderette's hope you're all well!
I've been pretty busy being a grown up so I've not been blogging as much recently.
But I'm still happy to pick it up here and there,
and who knows, I might get right into it again!
Anyway the purpose of todays post is,
I was lucky enough to be sent a gorgeous vintage style dress from Nyla Rose
I don't know if you've heard of them, but they stock a whole range of cute vintage style
clothing, accessories and home ware.
clothing, accessories and home ware.
I actually first came across them on facebook (they run amazing competitions FYI)
I was sent this fabulous Red Ophelia Dress, by Lindy Bop (RRP £45)
Unfortunately when it arrived it was too big for me,
but I knew of the perfect girl for the modelling job......
Introducing the lovely Lucy,
the amazing baking beauty from Delicate Bakes ltd in Great Malvern!
I'm a 12 to 14 on top, so ordered the 14 as it looked quite fitted.
It was pretty baggy and unflattering on me, the 12 would have been fine.
Lucy here is a 14-16 on top and the 14 (as you can see!)
fits her perfectly,and hugs in all the right places :)
So if you are in doubt about size, go down.
Its a great midi length, the fabric is lovely quality and has a nice amount of weight and stretch.
It would be great to wear to any posh occasion, such as a ball, prom or wedding.
Its such a flattering shape, nips in at the waist, and skims over the hips and bum!
The colour is gorgeous, but this dress comes in a whole host of prints and hues.
The dress also has great movement!
We put a white tulle underskirt under ours to puff it out a tiny bit,
and if you sway or dance it really looks amazing.
Overall both me and Lucy were really impressed with both the dress and the service from Nyla Rose
I'd definitely buy from them myself, and cant recommend them highly enough.
Have you tried anything from Nyla Rose or Lindybop?
Let me know what you think in the comments :)
Bye for now,

Fewer NH registered voters than a month ago and four years ago, state says
Over 169K fewer registered NH voters than existed in 2008
New voter registration numbers released by the New Hampshire Secretary of State on Monday show there are about 167,000 fewer registered voters in the state than there were heading into the 2008 presidential election and about 2,000 than existed just last month.
The smaller number of voters ironically comes at a time when both political parties -- especially the presidential campaigns -- are spending a tremendous amount of time trying to sign up new voters ahead of Election Day.
The latest "Names On The Checklist" version shows the partisan make-up of the state didn't change from last month. Republicans still make up roughly 33 percent of registered voters, Democrats make up 28 percent and undeclared voters, commonly called independents, make up 39 percent.
The two political parties have seen their numbers decline every time numbers have been released following the state's presidential primary in January. The number of undeclared voters grew slightly.
On Election Day in 2008 the number of registered voters was 958,528, according to the Secretary of State. After a significant "purge" took place following those elections there are now 791,434. The amount of registered voters dropped by 2,000 in the last month alone. This was driven by a nearly 1,500 drop in the number of registered Republicans since the Sept. 11.
It is possible that some of those Republicans were really undeclared who took a Republican ballot during the state primary, but it doesn't explain why the overall number of registered voters went down.
It is unlikely that these changes in voter registration will make much of a difference on Election Day, but two out of the last three presidential elections were decided by just a few thousand voters.
It should be noted that New Hampshire allows for residents to register to vote on Election Day.

I have been a regular customer at Restoran Makanan Laut Soon Fatt for many years. Despite loving the food there, I had never thought of blogging about it until now. I guess most of the time, my family members were around so I felt rather hesitant to bring my camera along to take pictures while they are staring at the food. Lol!
Anyway, one of the reason why I enjoy eating at this place is because of its reasonable price. Unlike some Chinese restaraunts that serve mediocre food with an expensive price tag, the food at Soon Fatt are consistently tasty and more importantly, do not burn a hole in your wallet.
Take this steam 'hong cho' fish for instance.
For RM 26, the dish was really value for money. Not only was the fish fresh, the taste was spot on.
Just take a look at the fish texture…
The 'Sei Tai Thin Wong' (RM 6) which means Four Heavenly Kings (in this case, four variants of vegetables – long beans, 4-angled bean, brinjals and bitter bean) was also nice. The rich taste dried shrimp and sambal brought a smile on my face.
The sizzling plate tofu (RM 7) was another another dish which I enjoyed. If you have tasted enough Chinese food, you will know what I mean.
The place is very crowded during dinner time. However, the food usually come very quickly. Highly recommended.

Over the last year, I've produced five data-driven pieces for Wired UK. Four of them have been for the two-page infoporn spread that can be found in every issue. I've looked at the UK's National DNA Database, used mined Twitter data to find people's travel paths, and mapped traffic in some of the world's busiest sea ports.
In the August issue, out on newsstands right now, I had a chance to work with some spectacular data and extremely talented people. The piece looks at a very, very big data set – cellular phone records from a pool of 10 million users in an anonymous European country. This data came (under a very strict layer of confidentiality) from Barabási Lab in Boston, where they have been using this information to find out some fascinating things about human mobility patterns.
In this post, I'll walk through the process of creating this piece. Along the way, I'll show some draft images and unused experiments that eventually evolved into the final project.
Working With Big Data
I can't get into a lot of detail about the specifics of the data set, but needless to say, phone records for 10 million individuals take up a lot of space. All told, the data for this project consisted of more than 5.5GB of flattened text files. I should say, at this point, that I don't work on a supercomputer – I churn out all of my work from an often overheated 2.33GHZ MacBook Pro. Since the deadline was reasonably tight on this project, I decided to rule out a distributed computing approach to get at all of this data, and instead chose to work with a subset of the full list of records. Working in Processing, I built a simple script that could filter out a smaller dataset from the complete files. I built several of these at varying file sizes, giving me a nice set of data to work with both in prototyping and in production stages. This is a strategy that I often employ, even with more minimal datasets – save the heavy lifting until the final render.
The first thing I did with the trimmed-down data was to construct 'call histories' for each user in the set. I rendered out these histories as stacked bars of individual calls, which could then be placed into a histogram. Here's a graph of about 10,000 users, sorted by their total time spent on the phone :
Here we see a very obvious power law distribution, with a few people talking a lot (really, a lot – 28.3 hours a week), and most callers talking relatively little (these is also a tail of text-only users at the very end). The problem here, of course, is that on a computer screen – or even in print – it's hard to get into the data to learn anything useful. When I zoom into the graph, we can start to see the individual call histories (I've enlarged a few columns for detail). Here, long calls are rendered yellow, short calls are rendered red, and text messages are flat blue rectangles:
I took the same graph as above, and added another set of columns extending below – here the white bars show us how many 'friends' the individual callers had – ie. how many people they are regularly talking to over the week:
If I sort this graph by number of friends (rather than total call time), we can see that the two measures (talkativeness, and number of friends) don't seem to be strongly correlated:
It's interesting to note here as well, that the data set includes linkage information – so I can also visualize who is calling who within our group of individuals:
There is some interesting information to be dug up in here, but the long aspect of the graph and the general over-detail involved makes it not very usable – particularly for a magazine piece.
Ooh, and then Aaah.
The Infoporn section in Wired is a two page spread; I always think of it as needing to serve two separate purposes for two different kinds of readers. First, it needs to be visually pleasing. I want people to say 'Oooh…!' when they turn the page to it. Once they're hooked, though, I want them to learn something – the 'Aaah!' moment.
The data used in the graphs above seemed too complex to do anything truly revealing with – so perhaps it could be built into something sexy enough to draw an 'Oooh!' or two? In order to fit the long tails of these graphs onto the page, I wondered if I could add a bit of a curl to them. To make this structural change evident, I turned the graphs on a slight angle and rendered them in 3D. Here, we see five of these graphs, totaling about a million individual users, arranged into a single, tower-like shape:
While these structures took a little while to render, I could quite easily generate a unique set of them, which I assembled as a line trailing off to the page edge on the left:
Getting Personal
So far, the visuals for this project only tell a part of the story: that our individual calling habits fall into predictable patterns when placed with the larger whole (some excellent text from Michael Dumiak helps clarify this in the final piece). There's another crucial piece, though. Cel phone usage data is inherently locative, since our provider always knows from which of their cel towers we are placing the call.
This is where the fun starts – we can use this locative data to track the mobility patterns of individual people (it's worth saying here that all of the data the I worked with was anonymized). To do this, I created a tool (again, in Processing) to make 'mobility cubes' – which show a history of an individual's movements over time:
The individual above, for example, travels around an area less than a square kilometer over a period of just under three days. If I flatten this graph, we can see that this person travels mostly between two locations:
From the data, we can identify a lot of individuals like this – commuters – who travel short distances between two places (home, and work). We can also find travelers (people who cover a long distance in a short period of time):
And others who seem to follow more elaborate (but often still regular) mobility patterns:
We can assemble a 'mobility cube' for each individual in the database – and very quickly gain a mechanism for recognizing patterns amongst these people:
Which brings us to the underlying point of the piece – we are all leaving digital trails behind us, as we make our way around our individual lives. These trails are largely considered individual – even ethereal – yet technology is making these trails more visible and more readable everyday.
Of course, to see the final piece – the polished assembly of some of the drafts and artifacts you've seen in this post – you'll have to buy the magazine. Wired UK is available on newsstands in the UK, and to all of our clever subscribers.
If you want to read more about this – and you should – I'd highly recommend Albert-László Barabási's Bursts, which goes into much more detail about human mobility & predictability.
Finally, huge thanks have to go out to László and his team at the lab, without whom this piece would have never made it to print!

(CNN) -- A nation with a proud past and promising future -- Poland's influence on the global stage is growing. A driving force in the new Europe with a skilled workforce spreading its influence beyond its borders and an economy increasingly attractive to foreign investors -- Poland is making its mark.
"Eye on Poland: Country at the Crossroads" is a week-long CNN International series focusing on the color and contrast of one of Europe's fastest developing nations; from business and politics to pop culture.
CNN offers a series of wide-ranging reports on this complex country tackling a time of transition; from Warsaw to Sopot, to Gdansk, Krakow and Lodz.
Solidarity Avenue, the Chopin Monument, and the Palace of Culture and Science are just some of the backdrops for CNN's live broadcasts during a week of programming hosted from Warsaw by Fionnuala Sweeney.
The week will include reports from around Poland by correspondents Diana Magnay, Phil Black and Zain Verjee. European Political Editor Robin Oakley and U.S. Affairs correspondent Jill Dougherty will also feature prominently in the coverage.
CNN's flagship business programme -- Business International -- will concentrate each evening on the personalities and companies driving the economy at home and abroad.
CNN is encouraging viewer participation -- on-air and online -- by seeking people's thoughts from inside and outside Poland.
Viewers and users will be asked to send their videos, pictures and comments via the Eye on Poland Web site on what makes Poland and its people unique. Watch CNN's Antonia Mortensen pose a series of questions around Eye on Poland »
In particular, CNN is keen to hear your thoughts on the following:
1. As the country pushes towards the future, what from Poland's past must not be forgotten?
2. What do you think most defines Poland's reputation around the world?
3. Since Poland joined the European Union in 2004, what "new" cultures is the country embracing?
4. Who are Poland's most influential people?
5. What do you think is unique or distinctive about the Poles?
"We want to hear people's views on Poland and we'll use the best on air and online," says Mike McCarthy, CNN International's vice president of coverage and feature programming. E-mail us with your answers.
"We're looking forward to some distinctive programming where viewers and users can have their say on how this country has transformed itself in recent years. As our first Central European destination, this marks an exciting addition to the 'Eye on...' strand."
The "Eye On" series has traveled around the world visiting France, Russia, India, South Korea, China, South Africa, Brazil and Lebanon.
Daily Coverage
Monday Oct. 6 -- Poland: A New Era Begins: Find out why Poland is becoming more strategically important on the global stage and how it is preparing for its moment in the spotlight as co-host of the 2012 European soccer championships. Glimpse unexpected aspects of Polish life -- from the "fast and the furious" street racers of Lodz to the multinationals making Poland a manufacturing hub for some of world's leading brands.
Tuesday Oct. 7 -- Poland: Booming Business: A look at Polish business as the zloty strengthens against the dollar, as Poles return to Poland in an improving home economy, and as Poland takes on the new role of an immigrant destination, this time for Indians and Ukrainians. We ask how Poland has brought about this changing business dynamic which now finds itself home to one of the world's fastest growing stock exchanges, and the ninth most attractive real estate market in the world.
Wednesday Oct. 8 -- Poland: Strategic Ties: What are Poland's international allegiances? What is the nation's strategic importance to the U.S.? How does it now define its relationship with neighboring Russia and interpret the historical legacy left by the influence of the former Soviet giant? How has the political game changed since its accession to the European Union and taking on an active role in NATO?
Thursday Oct. 9 -- Poland: Springs to Life: CNN seeks out what defines Poland culturally: from the beauty spot of Sopot dubbed "the Pearl of the Baltic," to a booming brewery industry which will leave you thirsty for more.
Friday Oct. 10 -- Poland by the Poles: From the youth studying at Krakow University to the immigrant Poles living in Brooklyn -- New York's "Little Poland" -- we hear from Poles around the world. We also look at Poles who've made it on the international sports stage.
Saturday-Sunday Oct. 11-12: The programming culminates in a half-hour special -- "Eye on Poland: Country at the Crossroads."

Diane Graf: Heart Disease and Stroke Survivor
For months, I felt miserable. I had a cough, chills and other symptoms that went away briefly but kept returning.
I saw a variety of doctors and took lots of medicines. At one point, I felt good enough to go on vacation. While I was away, the same old problems returned, along with a new one – swollen ankles.
A general practitioner said I was anemic and started a new treatment plan. I only got worse. I became so tired and out of breath that my colleagues insisted I see another doctor. He did some tests and changed my medicines, but we still didn't know what was causing it all.
Finally, after six months of dealing with this, someone had a better grip on what was happening. That person was Mike Mussallem, chairman and CEO of Edwards Lifesciences, a company that specializes in products and technologies to treat heart problems.
That's right – I work for a company dedicated to solving cardiovascular issues. Yet, I never realized my heart was the source of all my problems.
Mike heard all of my symptoms and suspected heart disease. He arranged for me to meet with a new doctor right away, which led to the discovery of a heart murmur. An echocardiogram showed I had endocarditis, an infection in the inner lining of my heart, and I was immediately admitted to the hospital.
Further tests determined that the endocarditis damaged my aortic and mitral heart valves, and that both needed to be replaced. The tests also showed that I had suffered a stroke.
When I think back, I know exactly when the stroke happened. I remember sitting at my desk one day and having a shadow come over me for a few seconds. It was a very odd feeling and I even wondered then whether it was a stroke. Since I lost my mother to a stroke, I knew I was at a higher risk than others. However, this was in the midst of enduring my long list of ailments, so I dismissed it as merely another symptom.
On Oct. 24, 2011, my mitral and aortic valves were replaced with two pericardial tissues valves manufactured by – who else? – Edwards Lifesciences. As a longtime employee of the company, that was very reassuring.
I returned to work two months later, and have been enjoying a healthier life ever since. I'm back to doing the physical activities I enjoyed before all the problems began, doing things such as bike riding, walking, hiking and traveling – and I feel great. I am no longer on any type of medication and there are no lasting signs of my surgery, except for the scar on my chest that I wear very proudly as a heart disease survivor.
I look forward to meeting the people who literally made my new heart valves. I want them to know that their work is so important. Their work saves lives. It brings a mom, like me, back to her three kids.
I also want to help the American Heart Association build healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. This year, I was a team captain for the Orange County Heart Walk at Disneyland, and together with my 350+ Edwards teammates, we raised over $35,000 to help people suffering from heart disease just like me.

Christian Wijnants Wins 2013 International Woolmark Prize
17 Feb, 2013, 06:10 GMT
LONDON, Feb. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Christian Wijnants was announced the winner of the 2013 International Woolmark Prize, during the final award event held at the ME Hotel.
For broadcast quality footage and high-res images, please visit the Multimedia News Release: http://medianet.multimediarelease.com.au/bundles/e4e91d34-cc15-48db-a94f-7b4d802ee4e5
Natalie Massenet, Chairman of the British Fashion Council opened the event; a judging panel including Victoria Beckham, Donatella Versace, Diane von Furstenberg, Franca Sozzani and Tim Blanks selected the winner.
"Christian invented a new shape and made it possible with an industrial production process," explained Franca Sozzani, Editor-in-chief of Vogue Italia and L'Uomo Vogue. "His designs are flattering, feminine and sexy, a modern interpretation of wool."
After a global search spanning twelve months, reaching across sixteen countries and involving over seventy designers, six finalists representing Australia, China, Europe, India, Japan and the USA competed for the final international prize - of $100,000 AUD and the opportunity to be stocked in the most important boutiques around the globe including Harvey Nichols - London, Bergdorf Goodman - NY, 10 Corso Como - Milan, Joyce - China, David Jones - Sydney and Eickhoff Königsallee - Germany.

The Woolmark Company Managing Director, Stuart McCullough said, "The International Woolmark Prize seeks outstanding and emerging talent from around the world, and we saw exceptional artisanship and design presented tonight. The prize is our commitment to supporting the future of the fashion industry and we are honoured to have received support from the global industry by way of our premier retail partners and judges both at the international and regional level."
Christian Wijnants capsule Merino wool collection featured at the awards was based on the simple idea of starting from a single white yarn and to explore all its potential. The designer worked with one type of yarn in 100% Merino Wool, on seamless garments, knitted in one piece.
The leading theme was based on hand-knitting and hand-dyeing techniques, using deep colours inspired by crystals and minerals, and experimenting to obtain unique shades and avoid shrinkage.
Every piece was dyed with innovative techniques, and some of them unravelled and then re-knitted to create a unique irregular effect.
The collection will be available in partner retailers globally as of September 2013.
The final award event featured NEXT Models, with make-up by MAC and hair by Lyndell Mansfield and team at CLM thanks to Bumble & Bumble. Official airline partner for the event was Qantas.

About The Woolmark Company
The Woolmark is the world's best known textile fibre brand, established in 1964.
The Woolmark brand is owned by Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), a not-for-profit company owned by over 27,000 woolgrowers. AWI's vision is to be a significant contributor to a vibrant, stable and profitable wool industry providing the world with the best natural fibre. The company works throughout the global supply chain - from woolgrowers through to retailers.
The company mission is to enhance the profitability, international competitiveness and sustainability of the Australian wool industry; and increase demand and market access for Australian wool.
Merino wool provides stability, resilience, softness and luxury to the tailoring industry. The fibre has long been a favourite of designers, but younger consumers, born in an era of 'disposable' fashion know too little about the natural benefits. Wool is a 100 per cent natural, biodegradable and renewable fibre.
Sheep live on grass, water, fresh air and sunshine. Wool is a fibre that is grown - not man-made. Every year sheep produce a new fleece; making wool a renewable fibre source.

Wow, time has flown. This time last year, I was doing radar work in Ballarat on gold mine sludge. But that's more geological than archaeological, and it should have been covered in last year's non-existent post (what happened last year, admins??), so I won't discuss that further.
Let's see… what was I doing this year?
Ah, yes. Friday. It was the last day of an eight-day project using ground-penetrating radar to search for unmarked graves in a cemetery. The day didn't really involve any geophysical surveying as such – all that had been done over the preceding week. Instead, Friday was spent using one of my new toys – a Topcon Power Station robotic total station. I love it. It has reflectorless mode so I don't have to walk around the cemetery to map things. Set-up is a breeze with re-sections (I was previously using a 25-year old reflector-only total station that required two operators and couldn't do re-sections).
Can you tell from my passion for a robotic total station that I don't have a romantic partner?
Anyway, I don't want to sound like a Topcon salesman, so I shall move on.
Basically, what I did that day was map the headstones that were present in the cemetery. That took me from 7am until about 1pm.
It's one thing to have a geophysical survey performed, but you really need to have a map of the surrounding "stuff" so you know exactly where the geophysical survey was performed (and, hence, where all the unmarked graves are located). If you don't do this, you're just wasting time (and the client's money).
Once I collected all the points needed to create the site map, I packed up, headed to my motel room and entered all the data into GIS (I use Global Mapper. It's far easier and better than anything else. Yes, including ArcGIS. Deal with it. 😛 ). Then I spent the afternoon colour-coding the different points and lines and shapes and what-have-you. Little trees to indicate trees. Dark grey areas to indicate marked graves. Light grey areas to indicate concrete slabs for the lawn section. A crossed orange line to indicate the cemetery boundary fence. You get the idea. Make the map look pretty. Then whack a north arrow, scale and legend on it and Robert is your mother's brother. And then the clock hit 5pm and it was time to sleep. (This week involved working from 6.30am until about 7pm each day. So I was overjoyed to see the bed Friday night).
So that was the excitement for my Day of Archaeology.Until next time, live long and prosper.Dave The Grave HunterPS: Sorry for the lack of photos. Here are some on my Facebook business page.

Spotlight: Manchester mayor's race
Manchester's voters have a choice of two different visions they want in their mayor for the next two years.
Incumbent mayor Ted Gatsas sees Manchester as a hometown, a place to raise a family and where no dramatic changes are needed. His challenger, Alderman Patrick Arnold, wants to see the state's largest city become more of a destination city, with world-class restaurants and a river walk along the Merrimack.
In tomorrow's election, Gatsas has all the advantages of incumbency. He is better known, better funded and has a decade-old campaign organization. Arnold is the scrappy upstart, who was first elected four years ago.
During the September preliminary, Gatsas led 55 percent to Arnold's 40 percent.
Besides talking about the river walk and restaurants, Arnold has tried to make this campaign about the largest incidents of crime. In July, there were 148 break-ins. Gatsas responds that the real statistic to look are the percentage of cases that are solved, which is much higher than the national average, he said.
Another big issue is education. An independent audit of the Manchester school system was highly critical. Hooksett officials are in the process of moving their students out of Manchester and into another school district.
Gatsas acknowledged there were problems with the city's schools and said he is actively working to solve them.
Like other Manchester mayoral elections in the past, this election will be decided on on the ground. With turnout expected to be low, which campaign can get their voters to the polls might be more of a factor than the issues.

Zobrist echoes thoughts on Rays' chemistry, goals
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Ben Zobrist reported to the Rays' Spring Training clubhouse on Tuesday afternoon and saw a group of mostly familiar faces. He said it felt more like a bunch of friends or family coming back together after a vacation, not like the start of a new season.
But with that continuity, Zobrist said, comes a certain degree of urgency.
"We feel like we've already been through a lot together. I feel like things might get put together really quickly here in Spring Training with the guys that we've added over the course of the offseason. It feels like such a tight group," Zobrist said. "We're going to work to win it all. I don't think anybody's going to be satisfied trying to get to the playoffs or squeaking in like we did last year. It's going to be a lot more of a dedicated drive to win the World Series instead of just winning in general."
Like Rays manager Joe Maddon, Zobrist was comfortable publicly stating such a lofty goal for Tampa Bay this season. The 32-year-old infielder/outfielder said he enters every year with high expectations, tempering them with the understanding that some things are out of the team's control, and he believes it's realistic to expect big things out of the 2014 Rays.
"We know what we're looking at, what kind of club we have. We've dealt with pressure," Zobrist said. "I don't want to put undue pressure on guys, and I try not to do that on myself, but at the same time, we know what we're capable of. Because of that, we want to believe something corporately that is going to happen and kind of take the necessary steps to make it happen over the course of the season.
"We've got to take it day by day, but at the same time, when we look over the course of the season, at the start you're thinking at the highest. I like to think of the best possible scenario and deal with the challenges as they come."
On a personal level, Zobrist said he expects to play more second base this year, considering the crowded outfield mix already includes Desmond Jennings, David DeJesus, Wil Myers and Matt Joyce. Zobrist spent the offseason working on what the club's trainers told him to, and he focused on a few specific things he and hitting coach Derek Shelton discussed last season.
"I just feel healthy, feel strong. I feel like when I go out there and hit in the cage, I'm doing the things that I want to do. It's coming easy right now," Zobrist said. "I know it's not going to be that way when we start games, but as far as my work goes, it's not any sort of grind. It just feels like everything's falling into place the way it's supposed to at this time."

We've been so excited to learn about Coach Franklin here in Penn State country, that the fact that a University that loved him lost him, just like we lost Bill O'Brien.
I was reminded of that fact this morning on Twitter, when I saw a tweet from Keri Potts, of ESPN, and paused.
Message from James Franklin in today's Tennessean. #AnchorDown pic.twitter.com/2DOpvXuVZP
— Keri Potts (@MsPotts_ESPN) January 16, 2014
To me, that's a nice way to say goodbye, and begin a new era. It hurts, but you have to do it, just like we had to a couple weeks ago. But I'm not sure that the message translates, especially when you're in mourning for a coach you loved.
@1025TheGame Too little too late
— VUWLKON (@vuwlkon) January 16, 2014
@1025TheGame @JamesEWright1 would look great at the bottom of a birdcage.
— Rick Dixon (@rdixon175) January 16, 2014
But you know what? These fans will move on. Just like we did, and just like others will do in the future.
For now: WE ARE! Welcome Coach Franklin!

Real-estate agent Josh Lichy, 27, appreciated the rental crunch first-hand when he and his girlfriend were hit with a $300 increase, from $3,000 to $3,300 for their 750-square-foot, one-bedroom apartment at 160 Riverside Drive. "It's too much. We want to have money to spend so we're not rent-poor," he said.Rent-poor. That's derived from house poor, but quite different. If you're house poor, you're building wealth in the form of equity (unless prices fall). But a rented apartment isn't a repository of money set aside for the future. It's as gone as if you'd blown it on a European vacation.
As for small apartments in NYC, we've been talking about Mayor Bloomberg's competition for designing tiny apartments called "micro-units." Well, here's a NYT article about furnishing your micro-unit. It's bizarrely — mockingly — unhelpful, suggesting a chewable toothbrush, a very small dog, and growing plants on your wall in some doodad that hangs over the fireplace. Hello? Get a normal toothbrush. Don't keep any pets. And you won't even have a fireplace. But I love the idea — in the photo at the NYT link — of putting your handgun right there next to your objets on one of the étagères that flank the fireplace that you won't have in your micro-unit.
But if you have a micro-unit, you may want to compensate by getting a gun.

100% Whole Food Nutrition - Powered by Enzymes!
Enzyme Nutrition for Women 50+ contains Enzyme Activated Nutrients™ (EAN) as part of a whole food matrix. It is personalized to meet the unique needs of today's women 50 and up.
Each ingredient is grown to preserve the highest potency of enzymes contained within the food structure. Additional enzyme blends (Thera-blend™) further enhance the utilization of vitamins and minerals' ensuring the products are easily digestible while maximizing support of heart' brain' and bone health' as well as daily antioxidant support.
Enzyme Nutrition for Women 50+ also contains guaranteed potency probiotics along with nutrient-rich superfoods and daily botanicals.
Enzyme Activated Nutrients:
Enzymedica believes the greatest science comes from observing nature. Nature never provides vitamins and minerals in a single isolated molecule. Furthermore' no single isolated vitamin or mineral in any nutrient matrix is solely responsible for a nutritional benefit; it must be attached to cofactors and enzymes to be utilized by the cells of the body.
Vitamins and minerals (nutrients) that are part of a complex grouping of naturally occurring compounds in whole foods are best described as nutriments. This complex matrix includes enzymes' coenzymes' cofactors and phytonutrients' along with amino acids' lipids and carbohydrates. The greater the density of vitamins or minerals bound in such a matrix' the greater nutritional value of the food and the more benefit the body will derive.
Enzyme Activated Nutrients are grown to preserve the highest enzyme potency from within the food structure. These enzymes along with naturally occurring cofactors ensure that the body recognizes and utilizes the nutrients as whole food' thus increasing potency.
Enzymedica has also added Thera-blend™' a unique enzyme blend' specifically formulated to enhance the value of the vitamins and minerals in the body. This combination makes them easily digestible and absorbable while improving utilization. Naturally occurring ATP complements a healthy diet by increasing the energy potential of the foods consumed.
Nutrient Dense and Energy Efficient:
Recent research suggests that the key to living longer is to efficiently manage the "energy allocation" of the body. This is done by consuming "nutrient dense" foods' while eliminating the intake of anything that requires an undue amount of energy to digest and convert vitamins and minerals to nutriments (e.g.' cooked and processed foods or isolated vitamins and minerals).
Enzymedica's Enzyme Nutrition Multivitamins provide nutrition in a manner that requires the least amount of energy to benefit the body. Because they are part of the complex matrix of whole foods' they include enzyme attachments' which support efficient delivery.
As the leader in enzymes' Enzymedica's Enzyme Nutrition provides high potency enzymes and probiotics along with compound-rich botanicals in combination with nutrient dense whole foods creating what they believe to be the "best multivitamins on the planet."

The image still turns my stomach.
There is the Marlins' Scott Cousins barreling into Giants star catcher Buster Posey. The home-plate collision is brutal, like an ugly car crash. Posey's left leg is pinned beneath him, his ankle shattered.
The memories of that May 2011 play will no doubt weigh heavy on the minds of major league general managers next week when they meet in Orlando, Fla.
The GMs are expected to discuss banning home-plate collisions in a move to deter catastrophic injuries and concussions. According to ESPN's Buster Olney, there is growing sentiment to do just that, and Olney predicts it's just a matter of time before home-plate collisions are outlawed.
I hope MLB has the guts to make the move.
The violence of home-plate collisions doesn't make baseball a better game. Protecting a defenseless player should be part of the rulebook. And in my mind, Posey, with his head turned to catch a throw coming from right field was defenseless as Cousins wrecked him.
It wasn't a dirty play, because it's allowed by the rules of professional baseball. But it's time to change the rule.
In the wake of all the information about the crippling effects of concussions on NFL players, the subsequent $765 million class-action lawsuit, I think MLB needs to step to the plate and be proactive.
As a National League official told Olney: 'Now is the perfect time to change the rule with all the scrutiny on concussions. It is hard enough to avoid concussions with repeated foul tips. If you throw in collisions, it could be hard to keep guys on the field.'
I can hear the uproar now. I'm bracing for your emails: 'There's another lame writer trying to wussify sports.'
There is nothing wussy about being a major-league catcher. It's one of the most physically demanding positions in sports. Protecting them just makes sense.
I know I'm swimming against the tide here. A recent ESPN.com poll showed that fans don't want the change. More than 5,000 readers voted and 80 percent of them said baseball should not ban collisions at home plate.
Pete Rose, the ultimate blue-collar player and a man central to the most famous home-plate collision in baseball history, says league officials can't legislate the play out of the game. Rose bulldozed Cleveland Indians catcher Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 1970 All-Star Game in the bottom of the 12th inning. Fosse was seriously injured and was never the same player after the collision.
'You can't eliminate that,' Rose told ESPN's Keith Olbermann last week. 'If the catcher blocks the plate, that's what is going to happen.
'In the case with myself and Ray Fosse, he had the plate blocked. I started to slide head-first. And if I slide, I'm going to break both collar bones.'
Rose make a valid point. The rule in place now makes it a base runner's duty to charge into the catcher and try and dislodge the ball. But the rule can be changed.
A number of big-league executives are in favor of adopting a rule similar to the NCAA 'Collision Rule,' which was implemented prior to the 2011 season. The rule states: 'Contact above the waist that was initiated by the base runner shall not be judged as an attempt to reach the base or plate.'
The NCAA also gives the umpire the ability to rule the base runner out if he feels the rule was violated. A player can also be ejected if the contact is determined to be flagrant or malicious.
I've heard the argument that Posey, and other catchers, simply were out of proper position and put themselves at risk. I'm not buying that. Posey had no chance when Cousins leveled him.
This is also a matter of baseball economics. Players such as Posey and the Twins' Joe Mauer are franchise cornerstones with millions and millions of dollars invested in them. It makes no sense to expect them to take the full impact of a 210-pound man barreling down the third-base line. The NFL protects quarterbacks. MLB should protect catchers.

Peter Youngren received the call to World Evangelism at the age of fifteen. Still a teenager he began preaching in small chapels and mission houses. Then in 1973, at Bible College in the USA, God spoke to him in a five-hour vision in a chapel service. While tears streamed down his face he saw the outline of the continents of the world appear one by one as on a map. There were no rivers, mountains or fields in the map. Each continent appeared with wall-to-wall people. Their faces were sad, desperate and hopeless, without God and without hope. Then those same continents appeared again. A wind of the Holy Spirit swept over each one. The people's faces turned before him to joy - radiant joy. The vision was repeated several times. The sense of God's holiness was powerful. Peter kept whispering, "God you are holy, thank you for cleansing me with your fire."
Peter took hold of the vision and began to live and act with the urgency of GOSPEL ADVANCEMENT gripping his heart and mind. Jesus words in Matthew 24:14 propelled him forward to conduct unprecedented evangelistic efforts on every continent.
In 1976 Peter founded World Impact Ministries, and has since conducted Gospel Festivals that have drawn up to 600,000 people in one service. Millions have received Jesus and follow up material. Hundreds of thousands of pastors have received training through the Seminars, and have taken what they receive back to their churches.
As founder of World Impact Ministries, Celebration Bible College, Way of Peace and the Celebration Churches in Toronto, Hamilton and Niagara, Canada, Peter is committed to equipping believers to fulfill their purpose before the return of Jesus Christ.
The following is the 10 Point Plan for Global Gospel Advancement that God has put on Peter's heart to accomplish.
1. Friendship Festivals:
Huge soul-winning campaigns held throughout the world, with a strong focus on nations and people groups that are "unreached". Crowds of 50,000 to 600,000 people regularly gather in a single service.
2. Pastors & Leaders Seminars:
Seminars for pastors and church leaders run concurrent with each Friendship Festival. The focus is on training pastors and leaders to advance the Gospel in their own region.
3. Television/Media:
"Celebrating Life with Jesus" is seen daily on television and internet web sites throughout the world. The Good News is spread through media to an ever increasing audience.
4. Follow Up For New Believers:
"Salvation - God's Gift to You" has been distributed to over 12 million new believers in multiple languages. Other follow up efforts include follow up meetings among locally organized churches.
5. Bible Schools:
Celebration Bible College (formerly World Impact Bible Institute) was established in 1988. To date, more than 3,000 students from over 30 nations have been trained to advance the Gospel. Campuses are located in North America, West Africa, East Africa, India and Asia.
6. Literature & Resources Distribution:
Peter Youngren is the author of over 20 books and study manuals that have been translated into numerous languages.
7. Missionaries:
The commissioning of full-time, overseas field missionaries takes place on an annual basis. Missionaries have been sent to Kenya, Indonesia, Gambia, Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, Croatia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Philippines and Guatemala.
8. Prayer Center:
Prayer is an integral part of every ministry aspect. Thousands of prayer requests are received weekly via the phone, mail and email from every continent.
9. Humanitarian Effort:
Destitute orphans, who would otherwise be without hope, receive support and tender loving care at orphanages sponsored by World Impact Ministries.
This support includes education, food and housing.
10. Personal Ministry to Partners:
Peter Youngren has a strong covenant commitment to his partners. He has carefully instructed all staff about God's blessing upon partners who participate in the Great Commission. Strategically placed offices in North America, Europe, Africa and Asia minister to partners through literature, videos and prayer.

Practically all university students have responded to at least some student evaluations in the course of their studies. For their part, most lecturers also collect them in one way or another. The use of student evaluations is extensive, ranging from developing a single course to even salary and tenure decisions of the whole faculty. Because of the significance of the evaluation results, also the validity and reliability of student evaluations have become issues of heated debate. Many research findings have been published dealing with such topics, yet the debate still goes on unresolved. During the last decade, many universities have replaced traditional paper-based evaluations with online evaluation systems, but in most cases this has simply meant converting the existing paper-based questionnaires into electronic format. Also research into online ratings has focused mainly on investigating the differences between online and paper-and-pencil ratings systems and on describing experiences of the developed online evaluation systems. What has not hitherto been recognised is the potential of information technology to implement and analyse the evaluations. This study concentrates on assessing the additional value to be gained by connecting online student evaluations to universities' other databases, especially to analyse the validity of student ratings. The study approach follows the principles of decision-oriented research approach. After initial determination of the research problem, the first phase involved identifying the gaps and contradictions in the current knowledge in the field. Next, an online survey was developed and implemented, the results of which were linked up (with respondents' permission) to other university databases for further analysis. These were then compared with previous research findings. The results of this study suggest that an interlinked system can aid in assessing the validity of student evaluations by enabling observations at an individual respondent level instead of using averages and estimations. Such a system also reduces the need for complex statistical analyses which demand expertise to be interpreted correctly. This study also gives examples of issues which either have been actively researched but unsatisfactorily resolved or which have earlier been impossible to analyse. For example, this study demonstrates that it is possible to analyse individual final course grades connected to the individual students' survey responses even at a single questionnaire item level. The effect of the order in which individual students undertake their courses connected to the same students' evaluation results and their individual final grades from the same courses, was an example of an issue not previously investigated at the individual level.
