Over the past several months, the boards of directors of the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association and the Minnesota Turkey Research and Promotion Council have been engaged in the process of restructuring the two organizations with the intent to refocus our efforts on the interests and needs of the Minnesota turkey industry. This process started as the direct result of several members expressing concern regarding the current and future direction of our two organizations.
Immediately after the summer meeting concluded in June, longtime Executive Director Steve Olson resigned from his position. Not long after, in mid-September, Lara Durben and Teresa Sorenson submitted their resignations and have elected to move on to other opportunities. We appreciate all that they have done for our organizations and the Minnesota turkey industry and wish them well in their new endeavors. The sudden resignation of these three individuals has left a temporary void regarding the staffing levels in the office but at the same time has provided us with the opportunity to restructure our missions from the ground up.
The members of the MTGA and MTRPC boards remain committed to the Minnesota turkey industry and are looking for ways to streamline our efforts and budget while remaining focused on the priorities of research, grower education, and supporting our growers. We have hired an outside consulting firm to guide us through the process of refocusing our goals in order to come up with a long-range plan. Once achieved, the process of searching for an executive director to fit our new needs and direction will be one of the primary goals.
We are moving as quickly and diligently as we can and ask our members to please be patient with us as we continue through our strategic planning process and executive director search. We will be reaching out to our members and other key stakeholders throughout this process; please speak up and let us know how our organizations can better serve our industry.

MTGA thanks the Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council for their assistance with the project.
(Throwback) Food offerings to fairgoers have changed over the years but a few highlights include: roast turkey sandwiches with gravy (1950s and 1960s), extremely popular turkey tenderloin-on-a-stick (1970s and 1980s), turkey nuggets (1990s) and in 1999, the Great Big Turkey Sandwich was introduced and remains our focus and fan favorite today!

We expect to cook approximately 40,000 pounds of turkey at Turkey To Go this year.

9. Our Giant Juicy Turkey Sandwich (eaten without the bun) and Jumbo Turkey Drumstick are gluten-free.
Don't forget about our breakfast sandwich, which debuted in 2015 – the "Tasty Turkey Sunrise Sandwich" that includes our famous Turkey To Go pulled turkey, an egg, & slice of American cheese on a bun.
Turkey To Go also has locations at Target Field. Up-to-date location information can be found at www.twitter.com/turkeytogo or visit www.turkeytogo.com for details.
Target Field – Turkey To Go is behind home plate between sections 112 and 113; in section 133; and in section 318
Turkeys raised in the U.S. are free of added hormones and steroids. Added hormones and steroids in poultry have been illegal since the 1950s and aren't needed anyway. Genetics and nutrition make all the difference!
Minnesota is ranked #1 for turkey production, processing, and hatching in the U.S. and is home to 450 turkey farmers who raise approximately 42 million turkeys annually on 600 farms. Minnesota has the most family- owned turkey farms of any state in the U.S. and many of our producers are 4th, 5th, and 6th generation farmers.
Turkey is a versatile protein that plays well with various flavor profiles and takes on whatever seasonings or marinades it's cooked with.
MTGA was formed in 1939 as a nonprofit trade association dedicated to fostering a successful turkey industry. Today MTGA and its sister organization, Minnesota Turkey Research Promotion Council work on behalf of Minnesota's turkey industry in the areas of research, promotion, public relations, issues management, education and government affairs.
Nutritionally, turkey has more protein than chicken or beef – plus fewer calories with zero trans- and saturated fat.
MTGA's website – www.minnesotaturkey.com – features links to turkey recipes for consumers and the foodservice industry. We also have recipes at our State Fair booth in the Dairy Building.
Producing a quality, nutritious and safe product is the top priority for turkey farmers as well as turkey processing companies, which follow USDA guidelines for food safety. Consumers, too, need to do their part to ensure that turkey is handled properly in the kitchen and cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F., as measured by a food thermometer.

Turkey To Go focuses on the classics at the 2019 Minnesota State Fair
Giant Juicy Turkey Sandwich celebrates 20 years at the fair
(Buffalo, Minn.) … Since 1958, Turkey To Go, the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association's (MTGA) restaurant at the Minnesota State Fair, has had a strong presence at the Minnesota State Fair and is a can't-miss destination for many fairgoers. The reason is simple: Turkey To Go's favorite turkey menu options honor the timeless classic protein that turkey is, and make it a perennial State Fair favorite. In fact, in 2012, Turkey To Go was named the very first "People's Choice for Best Fair Food or Beverage" voted on by fairgoers.
While the classic Turkey To Go menu remains a constant year after year, the flavors are still bold and delicious! The Giant Juicy Turkey Sandwich is an all-time favorite that debuted in 1999 and has garnered Turkey To Go a wide variety of media coverage reaching beyond the Great Minnesota Get-Together from food bloggers and national culinary talent alike:
"The large, squishy-soft bun is loaded with tender, flavorful turkey that's been shredded and chopped. This is great for when you're looking for something that's filling and not fried," said Brenda Score, author at A Farmgirl's Dabbles blog. I like to eat it with some BBQ sauce, but the sandwich has so much flavor you really don't need it."
"The hot pulled, baked turkey is dressed many ways, but I take mine plain – with spoonfuls of the cooking liquid thrown on by request," said Andrew Zimmern, host of Bizarre Foods. "[The Giant Juicy Turkey Sandwich is] sloppy and perfect."
Complimenting the Giant Juicy Turkey Sandwich are Slow-Roasted Turkey Drumsticks and the Tasty Turkey Sunrise Sandwich, debuted in 2015. Rounding out the menu is Turkey To Go by the pound, the perfect way to take part of the State Fair experience home!
One of purposes served by Turkey To Go is getting people to think of turkey beyond the classic Thanksgiving meal and incorporate a variety of cuts and recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Minnesota's proud turkey farm have a driving passion for promoting and serving nutritious, convenient, on-the-go turkey products to fairgoers.
"Minnesota's turkey companies have developed more than 2,000 different turkey products for consumer enjoyment, said Lara Durben, MTGA Interim Executive Director. "That type of innovation and the knowledge and expertise of our multi-generational turkey farm families have led to Minnesota's growth over the last 80 years to the number one turkey-producing state in the nation."
Turkey To Go is owned by the MTGA with day-to-day operations handled by The Turkey Guys, Drew Levin and Daniel Perkins. While MTGA handles much of the behind-the-scenes details of the operation prior to and during the State Fair, The Turkey Guys bring in their staff to run the concession stand, including cooking and serving turkey to hungry fairgoers. What's clear from day one of the State Fair is that everyone involved in Turkey To Go loves turkey!
Lastly, MTGA is proud to announce that a portion of every sale at Turkey To Go will be donated to Hunger Solutions Minnesota (www.hungersolutions.org), an organization that is dedicated to ending hunger. This is the twelfth straight year of continuing this tradition of giving back.

Minnesota Turkey Launches 3rd "Day in the Life of a Turkey Farmer" Video
Video focuses on Where the Turkey Life Cycle Begins – On a Breeder Farm
(BUFFALO, MN) – Minnesota turkey grower Loren Brey of Brey Farms was recently featured in "A Day in the Life of a Turkey Farmer" video. This video is part of a series of videos created and published by the Minnesota Turkey Growers Association (MTGA) as an effort to promote and educate consumers about the turkey industry. These videos provide an insightful view into the life of a turkey farmer – the challenges and joys of raising turkeys in Minnesota.
Said Steve Olson, MTGA Executive Director: "Transparency is important to many consumers – they want to know where their food comes from, how it's grown and how it's processed. Tours of poultry farms are limited due to biosecurity practices that are implemented to protect flock health. To get around this obstacle, the MTGA has put out these videos on their website to provide the public the opportunity to look inside a turkey barn."
Brey is one of the 450 turkey farmers in the state of Minnesota, and he was thrilled to be able to share his family's turkey farm on the video. "This is my 30th year in the turkey business. I started picking eggs from the previous owner…and then eventually purchased the farm. It was an honor for me to share my family's story and life on our farm in this video," said Brey.
Minnesota ranks number one in turkey production in the United States, producing around 46 million turkeys per year. Turkey farms like Brey's are where the turkey life cycle begins.
Even though all farms may look different from each other, all farmers pay close attention to bird health. In the video, Brey explains the different practices on his farm to maintain bird health – from biosecurity, barn temperature, ventilation, nutrition, and much more. Farmers go to great measures to ensure good health and well-being of their birds to produce a safe product for consumers.
"As you enjoy your Thanksgiving meal this year, be sure to remember that it may be a Minnesota turkey farmer that helped get the turkey to your table!" said Olson.
Brey's video can be viewed on MinnesotaTurkey.com or YouTube.

The MTGA, founded in 1939 and located in Buffalo, MN, is a nonprofit association dedicated to fostering a successful Minnesota turkey industry and its ability to make positive contributions to consumers, the economy, the environment and its members. Minnesota is currently ranked #1 for turkey production in the U.S. with its 450 turkey farmers raising an estimated 46 million turkeys in 2017. Minnesota has the most independent turkey farmers of any state in the U.S.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Prince George Citizen for their long time continued support in sponsoring the Steve Elliott Elvis Gospel Concert for the last eight years at the First BaptistChurch.

Unfortunately this year's gospel show, slated for Jan. 19, had to be postponed due to a medical situation that sidelined our performer Steve Elliott but I'm happy to report he is now recoveringwith each passing day and will be back performing in the near future.
I would also like to thank the many people that purchased tickets for the Steve Elliott gospel concert, where he performs the gospel favourites of Elvis Presley. I'm happy to report we have nowrescheduled it for Saturday, April 6t at the First Baptist Church.
I would also like to let everyone know we will honour the Jan. 19 tickets on April 6 and if people would like to purchase tickets for the upcoming show you can do so at the following locations: The Four Rivers Co-Op Convenience store and gas bar, 6749 Westgate Avenue, Koops Bike Shop, 1659 S.

Once again thank you to the Prince George Citizen for their support and all the gospel concert music fans, I hope to see everyone on Saturday, April 6.


Mastering content strategy, creation, and distribution for your brand on social media is a difficult and long process. But, in an effort to provide you guys with as much value as possible, I'm going to help speed up that process and show you how I do it on a daily basis for my personal brand.
My content strategy is predicated on a "reverse pyramid" model.
It starts with a piece of "pillar content." With my personal brand, it takes the form of a daily vlog, keynote, Q&A show, or another video that I do.
Since I start from video, my team is able to repurpose that one piece of content into dozens of smaller pieces of content, contextual to the platforms that we distribute them to.
This could take many different forms — for example, if you're not comfortable on video, you could record a podcast. You might even film yourself recording the podcast so you could have a video out of it as well. And from that video or audio clip, you can create content for Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more.
Personally, I create a ton of content. I publish a new episode everyday on the GaryVee Video Experience, which is distributed on my YouTube channel, Facebook Watch Page, and IGTV. I then also have a daily podcast called the GaryVee Audio Experience, which is distributed on my iTunes, Overcast, and Stitcher, amongst some other platforms.
In addition to what I just mentioned, I continually post "micro content", that is distributed to my Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Quora, and many of my other social channels.
"Micro content" is created from each episode and is used to drive awareness back to the original long-form content. Long story short, I am constantly creating and posting as much content as possible and in a way that is contextual to each platform.
Because I am producing so much content on a daily basis and in a way that has been proven to be very effective, I want to give you guys the full breakdown and analysis on what it is that I'm doing and how I am doing it. Like one of my favorite quotes, "watch what I do, not what I say", this is a really good time for you to sit down, grab a cup of coffee, and carefully take note of what it is that I'm doing in this deck.
Think about how it can be applied to your personal brand, your B2C product, or your B2B marketing strategy.
Shared below is a powerpoint that my team and I created to help empower and potentially completely shift the way that you think about producing and distributing content online for your brand.
The ultimate goal of creating this presentation on my content model is to show you how my team took one of my keynotes, repurposed it into 30+ pieces of content, and then successfully distributed all of that content, resulting in over 35,000,000 total views.
I'm very proud of this deck and sincerely hope that it brings you, your team, or your company some serious value.
Super Bowl commercials are incredibly underpriced - even at a $5 million+ price tag, they should cost way more than they do in 2019.

Q: Date parse in javascript I need to parse the date in javascript for 17Dec2010 as javascript date.
How to do that?

A: The short answer is: There's no standard means in JavaScript for doing that, you'll have to do it yourself. JavaScript only recently got any standard string representation for dates (as of ECMAScript 5th edition, about a year ago — the format is a simplified version of ISO-8601), and your format doesn't match that format.
However, there are add-on libraries that can help, such as DateJS.
Your particular format is pretty easy to parse (see below), but if you get into variations, it can get complex fast.
Simple example:
var months = {
    en: {
        "jan": 0,
        "feb": 1,
        "mar": 2,
        "apr": 3,
        "may": 4,
        "jun": 5,
        "jul": 6,
        "aug": 7,
        "sep": 8,
        "oct": 9,
        "nov": 10,
        "dec": 11
    }
};
var dateString = "17Dec2010";
var dt = new Date(
    parseInt(dateString.substring(5), 10),               // year
    months.en[dateString.substring(2, 5).toLowerCase()], // month
    parseInt(dateString.substring(0, 2), 10)             // day
);
alert(dt); // alerts "Fri Dec 17 2010 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT)" or similar

Live example
...but that only handles English (hence the en property of months) and again, it can get complex fairly quickly.

mplungjan quite correctly points out that the above will fail on, say "7Dec2010". Here's a version that's a bit more flexible, but again, I'd probably look to a library if there's any variety in the format:
var months = {
    en: {
        "jan": 0,
        "feb": 1,
        "mar": 2,
        "apr": 3,
        "may": 4,

Live example

A: Using Crowder's regExp instead of the one I came up with when I first answered, there is no need for a month array. My script was tested in IE8, Fx 3.6, Opera 10, Safari 5, Mozilla 1.7 on windows and Blackberry native browser. If the month part of your string is English, then all major browsers and even some not so major ones - I expect all browsers with javascript support and Date.parse support will handle my script just fine. MDC says Date.parse does RFC822
<script type="text/javascript">
var date = "12Dec2011"
var reg = /^(\d+)(\D+)(\d+)$/
var parts = reg.exec(date)
var dateString = parts[1]+' '+parts[2]+' '+parts[3]; // parts[0] is the match itself
alert(new Date(Date.parse(dateString)))
</script>

A: Here's a small (once you take the comments out, at least) utility I wrote based on Python's time module - it takes format strings and generates RegExps accordingly to extract date information. The unit tests give a flavour of what it does without having to grok the code, but in your case:
>>> var parts = time.strptime('17Dec2010', '%d%b%Y');
>>> var date = new Date(parts[0], parts[1]-1, parts[2]);
Fri Dec 17 2010 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (GMT Standard Time) {}

It'll also take care of basic validation:
>>> try
... {
...     time.strptime('32Dec2010', '%d%b%Y');
... }
... catch (e)
... {
...     console.log(e);
... }
Error: Day is out of range: 32

It can also go the other way too, if you need that:
>>> time.strftime(date, '%d%b%Y');
"17Dec2010"

The Alberta Labour Relations Code was written in 1988 and has remained virtually untouched since that time. Over the coming months, I will be writing a new blog series titled "Top Ten Reasons to Amend the Alberta Labour Code" in an effort to initiate an online discussion about the need to update this antiquated (cold-war era) legislation.
Much has happened in the world since 1988, including significant labour legislation changes in British Columbia and Saskatchewan, as well as Europe, the USA and most developed countries throughout the world. The time has come to update this 23 year old piece of legislation in Alberta.
The governments of British Columbia and Saskatchewan have responded with labour code changes that made their workforces more nimble, fair and competitive. As a result, these provinces have created a labour relations environment that is more conducive to attracting investment to their provinces.
In response to these changing circumstances in western Canada and around the world, a group of construction leaders formed a coalition to find ways to combat Alberta's increasingly uncompetitive construction sector. The group is called the Construction Competitiveness Coalition and its participants operate in both union and non-union environments. Most of their recommendations are based on labour code changes that have already taken place in other provinces and jurisdictions around the world. I will write a detailed blog about each of the recommendations in the coming months.
Improving fairness for employees and employers.
Recommendation 2: Adopt legislation similar to that in British Columbia, which allows for the continuation of collective agreements in situations where a union becomes the bargaining agent for a workforce and there is an existing collective agreement in place for that workforce.
Recommendation 3: Amend the Alberta Labour Code to allow contractors to complete existing work under the labour obligations that existed prior to certification.
Recommendation 4: Amend the Alberta Labour Code to allow for certificates in the construction industry that cover all of the employees working for an employer.
Recommendation 5: Amend the Alberta Labour Code to put into law a provision that allows for early renewal of collective agreements when all parties are in agreement and employees consent.
Recommendation 6: Maintain the current approach to the "build up principle" in construction.
Recommendation 7: Amend the Alberta Labour Code to prohibit unions from fining workers for the crime of working with an employer not affiliated with the union.
Recommendation 8: Amend the Alberta Labour Code to prohibit unions from using union dues to support activities other than fulfilling the union's obligations under the Code unless the union obtains prior consent of the employee.
Recommendation 9: Improve Alberta Labour Code provisions that address market enhancement recovery fund ("MERFs"), which are illegal bid subsidy schemes.
Recommendation 10: Amend the Alberta Labour Code to clarify limits on the use of picket lines.
If you are still reading, you must be wondering what much of this means! These are complicated but critically important matters. Many of these policy recommendations have been implemented throughout the country and around the world and despite fierce opposition from union leadership, they have resulted in better, more competitive workplaces and happier workers.
I look forward to diving into each of these recommendations over the coming months and engaging in this important dialogue.


Leckwith Bridge, can refer to the medieval Grade II* listed stone bridge over the river Ely at Leckwith, Cardiff, or its 20th century replacement.
The old Leckwith Bridge dates from at least the early 16th century, referred to in 1536 as being "soundly built of stone". It was probably partially rebuilt in the 17th century and the central arch being rebuilt during the 18th century. The bridge has three arches built of rubblestone. The roadway is approximately 2.75m (9 feet) in width, with the addition of pedestrian refuges above pointed cutwaters between each arch.
The bridge was listed as Grade II* in 1952, being an example of "a fine and rare medieval bridge". The bridge remains in use today for goods vehicles accessing the adjacent builders' yards.
A new single span reinforced concrete bridge was built next door to the old bridge in 1935, taking the main road between Cardiff and Leckwith village. It was opened on 17 April by the Minister of Transport, Leslie Hore-Belisha. The road continues west on a 150m (500 feet) concrete viaduct. By the 2010s the new bridge was in poor condition with weight restrictions imposed on it.

Nearly two thirds of Russians - 64 percent - are not prepared to vote for opposition activist and blogger Alexey Navalny in presidential elections.
Those opposed to Navalny's presidential ambitions argued that he does not have enough experience in politics and does not possess the necessary leadership qualities and a coherent development program, the research center of the web-portal superjob.ru has reported, whose experts conducted a survey to find out whether Navalny has chances to win if presidential elections were held next Sunday.
The responses by Navalny's opponents included the following: 'I have another candidate', 'Navalny does not possess qualities necessary to be a president', 'He does not have a clear program', 'Who is that? Another oligarch and pseudo-politician?' and others.
Navalny said in an interview on Dozhd television channel early on Friday that he wants to be president and change the situation in the country.
The portal found that 11 percent of those polled want to see Navalny as president, and 25 percent were undecided.
The poll of 1,600 economically active respondents older than 18 was conducted on April 5 under a contract with the Silver Rain radio station in all federal districts of Russia on April 5.


Presentation slides from workshop on "Harmonizing ecological community survey data for reuse" at 2018 LTER ASM meeting (2 October 2018).
EDI 26 September 2017 webinar discussion on progress on EDI's ecocomDP design pattern.
We started our work on the data package design for community survey data at a workshop in Albuquerque, NM (6-8 June 2017).
The goals of the workshop were to examine the needs of synthesis scientists using community survey data, and to determine the features of a flexible intermediate format for these data. When input data are in a similar format, aggregations and reuse can be greatly accelerated. We began by examining data commonly used in population and community surveys in this workshop.
We have a full description of our candidate model for the flexible intermediate for ecological community data. Our short name for the model is "ecocomDP", for "ecological community data design pattern". The workflow developed is used for a general description of the process EDI is developing, described at our Data package design page. A GitHub repository has been set up to contain the ecocomDP R-code and other material ('man', 'vignettes', etc) and HTML documentation of the ecocomDP model itself: https://github.com/EDIorg/ecocomDP. Below is a graphic showing all eight data objects in the model and their relationships. Optional tables are greyed out. Four are required; "observation", "sampling_location", "taxon" must be populated from primary data. The "dataset_summary" is created and populated from the "observation" table by code. The three primary tables are each linked to an optional table for ancillary information.
The nesting of sampling locations (e.g., transects within areas) is accomplished by using a self-referencing table, in which a location may have a 'parent' which is itself a sampling location in the same table. This mechanism allows observations to be associated with a location at any level, and observations can be aggregated under groups of locations.
An optional "variable_mapping" table holds variable names (string content) with their mappings to URIs in external vocabularies. URIs are essential for retrieving a full description of a variable. We have included a column for the name mapped_system itself (although this may be redundant for URIs) to maintain a consistent table pattern as compared to the taxon table (because taxon-URIs are rare and the name of the mapped system is essential).
Data objects in the ecocomDP model and their relationships.
The general description of the workflow for examples of dataset "Levels" we are using for these workflows can be found at our Data package design overview page. In short, Level 0 (L0) is incoming, or raw data. Level 1(L1) is the same data transformed to the ecocomDP model. Level 2 (L2) is data that has been further transformed or aggregated as needed by synthesis working groups. With a common, flexible intermediate (L1), the transforms for L2 can be greatly streamlined, and even facilitated by EDI.
We are considering L0-to-L1 translator functions using a template.
NEON has created an export view of their macroinvertebrate data in the ecocomDP format (also available in our Git repository).
EDI has assembled a list of datasets to be candidates for conversion. Work began during the June workshop, and continues.
EDI has created code to discover, query, and assemble ecocomDP tables into an aggregate, with R. Clone the git repository at the link above.
Many important L0 data are ongoing research-grade time-series. To track their updates, EDI is creating "event subscriptions" for the repository, and will rerun formatting code to update product L1 packages. This is a potentially transformative activity – access to trusted, up-to-date, research-grade data sources is highly desired by synthesis scientists, policy and decision makers, and yet seldom realized. The ability to rerun automated workflows will advance this need significantly.
With LTER sites and other L0 producers: We gather feedback as we develop tools for this data model. As the tools mature, the dialogue will expand LTER sites, and provide feedback to L0 data creators on the essential data components.
With the LTER NCO: The LTER Network Communications Office (NCO) manages several synthesis working groups, and has interns to assist scientists with data cleansing for their synthesis needs. Their staff are aware of this project, so we will engage them through their scientific programming staff.
Webinar/Video discussion: EDI hosts a series of video teleconferences (VTCs), and we use that venue for updates and feedback on the ecocomDP model and tools. See the EDI Events area.

Sleeping through the static
No, honestly, I am dumb. Most of the time I'm playing smart.
Snippets cont'd ...
I was flying back to India after watching the two semi-finals of the 1999 cricket World Cup and the line for check-in at Heathrow was, as expected, full with plenty of Indians.
This particular line included a sizeable Punjabi contingent, ranging from crying infants to bow-legged grandparents. This distinguished family, joint and double-jointed (okay, bad pun), was clearly too overwhelming for the pretty young British lady behind the counter, evident by her flustered look at having to handle a dozen tickets at one time and struggling to understand the different accents.
I noticed quickly that each of those Punjabis, from toddler to aged, had a British passport. What seemed to compound the young lady's hassles was the fact that the elderly, dressed in typical Indian attire, couldn't speak great English despite being in the UK for a long time. I watched, amused and admired, by the way she handled the situation. After checking all the passports and tickets, she let them all pass and took a brief second to take a deep breath and collect herself.
As she looked up and saw me standing there, she put on her best smile and did the whole hi-how-are-we-today routine, extending her hand to take my passport and ticket. I could've been wrong, but her look suggested that she was relieved to see a white dude who looked like he was just heading over to India as a tourist.
But that evaporated into shock when I smiled back and handed her an Indian passport.
"Oh my…" was her reaction. "Now that's a first!"
A dozen Punjabis, both naturalized and born Brits, chattering between themselves in boisterous Punjabi, followed by a white dude with an Indian passport. I think she'd seen it all that day.
She checked me through in about three seconds.

Dravid's recall: a knee-jerk reaction
Once again, youth has been jettisoned, the system has been done away with, journalist's Saturdays have been ruined and, quite amazingly, Rahul Dravid is back in the one-day team. The same Dravid who was dumped twice over the last four years and overlooked for the World Cup, a chance he silently pined for. WTF?
The decision, we are told, is a pragmatic, immediate one: the team is marred by injury and needs Dravid's vault of international experience - he is the seventh-highest run-scorer of all time, with 10,765 runs in 339 matches - and his innate ability to scrap and hold together an innings.
But the man in question is 38 years and 207 days and hasn't played an ODI since September 2009, after being recalled two years from being dropped. The scenario then? India's young hopefuls had failed to cope in testing conditions in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy in 2009. The scenario now? Injury to Yuvraj Singh, Cheteshwar Pujara's absence through injury, the apparent n…
Oakville - our field of dreams
We each have our field of dreams. The space where we first really took to cricket, where we played the game because we just loved the sound of ball (rubber, tennis, cork, whatever) on ball, where we could square-drive like our heroes (Dravid, for me) and mimic bowling actions and try our hands at legspin or left-arm pace and try to intimidate and flourish, and where we could - for an hour, a day - escape the drudgery of school and chores. Maybe it was a parking lot or a sandlot, a maidaan, an open field, a side street, a gulli, a stadium, an terrace. You know what I'm talking about.
For me, that field was a beaten up, run down former tennis court tucked away between the magnificent deodar and handsome Indian Chestnut tree and sturdy Himalayan Oak and serene maple trees. A little piece of heaven where in days of yore British, American and Canadian missionaries spent sunny summer afternoons playing tennis and rounders but which by the time my buddies and I took over had withered int…
A shellacking, a hammering, call it what you want. It wasn't pretty, and India have much soul-searching to do. But instead of going crazy and hammer and tongs at the team, we need to accept that that India were just poor, and were beaten by a very good team. England won session after session, leaving India with very little to clutch at. They came in at them and didn't allow much room to breath or flex their muscles.
Their lower order was far superior to India's, which in the first two Tests was rolled over. On day one at Trent Bridge, England lifted themselves from 85 for 5 to 221 with the last two wickets adding 97 runs. Conversely, India capitulated from 267 for 4 to 288 in a matter of six overs. In their first three innings, India lost their last five wickets for 46, 36, and 15 runs. It was heartening to see MS Dhoni and Praveen Kumar offer some fight in both innings at Old Trafford, and for India's sake lets hope this inspires the batsmen.
Crucially, E…

Effect of Sirtuin 1 Gene Expression on Mouse Islet Graft Survival, The
Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Improve Survival and Function of Pancreatic Islets by Cell-to-Cell Contact
Objectives: Bone marrow (BM) has been recently shown to be an alternative and potentially immune-privileged site for islet transplantation. The aim of the study was to assess the survival of non-encapsulated and encapsulated xenogeneic islets transplanted into the BM of C57BL/6 mice, and to characterize the rejection.
Methods: Rat or human islets were transplanted into the medullary cavity of the femur (n=18) or under the kidney capsule (n=19) of streptozotocin-induced diabetic C57BL/6 mice. Rejection was characterized seven days after rat islets transplantation using non-diabetic mice. Bones were harvested for quantification of CD4, CD8, and F4/80 expression by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence; splenocytes were isolated for in vitro proliferation assays. The survival and fibrotic reaction of encapsulated rat islets were assessed by insulin and Masson staining one month after transplantation in the BM or under the kidney capsule.
Results: Free rat and human islets transplanted into the BM had a median survival of 9 and 7 days respectively. After transplantation under the kidney capsule, rat islets lasted for 14 days (p=0.005) and human islets for 10 days (p=0.004). Seven days after transplantation, increased numbers of CD8 cells were present in femurs of transplanted mice compared to contralateral femur or to naÏve mice femur. CD4, CD8, Macrophages were recruited around the islets in the BM. Splenocytes of transplanted mice specifically proliferate in contact to donor stimulators. Encapsulated rat islets transplanted in the BM had similar insulin positivity and fibrotic reaction when compared to encapsulated islet transplanted under the kidney capsule.
Conclusion: We successfully established an animal model for xenogeneic islets transplantation into the BM. There was no evidence for an immune-privileged environment. The xenorejection in the BM is cellular-dependent with antigen recognition in the spleen. Nevertheless, the BM may represent an adequate site for encapsulated xenogeneic islets transplantation.

Some people know the way to my heart is cheese (and flowers but that's another post), so one event I do look forward to each year is the Swiss Week at the Grand Hyatt Doha.
I had a chance to check out the selection at the launch last night. But to be frank, we didn't make it past the luxurious cheese selection.
It runs from 2-7 May from 6:30pm until midnight and includes Swiss music and dishes including fondue, raclette and rösti prepared by Chef Sebastian Wirsching from Park Hyatt Zurich.
I promise I will go this week to try the other dishes (including a fantastic array of seafood and a hot buffet). You can select from the a la carte menu or a buffet from QR250.
For more information call the Hyatt on 4448 1234.
