History of the Firm
Established in 1984, the civil litigation firm of Callahan & Blaine concentrated on commercial and corporate trial work until we started taking personal injury cases about twelve years ago. Since that time, our lawyers have obtained two of the largest personal injury settlements in United States history, and we have won many multimillion-dollar recoveries for personal injury and wrongful death clients. Contact our office in Santa Ana to learn how our litigation methods have made us California's premier litigation firm for personal injury claims.
Callahan & Blaine has been built to achieve outstanding results in civil litigation, no matter what the issue in dispute might happen to be. A good example of the way our complex litigation experience supports our success in personal injury was a catastrophic accident case that we settled for $50 million, the largest reported personal injury settlement in United States history.
We're Not a Traditional Law Firm
We don't operate like many other firms our size. We don't hire recent law school graduates. Rather, every one of our attorneys joined Callahan & Blaine as an experienced and successful trial practitioner. They are then trained and molded for several years into the Callahan & Blaine litigation style: aggressive, thorough, comprehensive and, most of all, WINNING! Each lawyer brings a distinct skill set that enriches and extends our firm's ability to meet client needs. No client trusts important elements of a case to an inexperienced associate at Callahan & Blaine, simply because we don't have any.
Find Out the Benefits of Our Integrated Approach to Accident Litigation
Our personal injury clients benefit from the breadth and depth of our experience in many fields: negligence law, insurance law, products liability, and the highly technical issues that can arise in the proof of damages in a brain injury case or a disabling accident involving a child. We're not only able to make the proof of complex damages claims stand up in the face of highly skilled opposition, we also know how to find the insurance coverage necessary to support the damages we can prove.Contact Us To Speak With A Trial Attorney Today

Based on my earlier article, recently I got the below request from MAPIDevil (MAPI developer). Adding the detailed request:
In general, you can do this same stuff with either MFCMAPI utility or ended up by creating customer MAPI application. For this specific scenario again I tried my hands with MrMAPI command-line utility – it's very simple, you need to just pass on the Input ".MSG file" and Output "Output file".
Also you can store the file in .txt file as well – it will contain XML output for you.
You can check the output in the given folder and the output file as well:
Now I think MAPIDevil can make use of this; also you can also give a try using MrMAPI as well…
Happy MAPI programming…!!

This will be the first of hopefully many biweekly Friday-themed blog posts showcasing some of the wonderful projects that have been finished before the time I publish the respective week's post. Seeing the projects made from my patterns has been SO inspirational and fun for me since I've started out in my designing, so I'd like to share a few with you in case you missed them on Ravelry.
I only wish I started this featured post sooner! There are so many great projects that have been finished in April that I'd love to feature in this first 'Featured Finished Object Friday' post. To see some of the finished projects completed prior to April 16 and the others that aren't shown here today, check them out on Rav!
Let's get started, shall we? :)
First up, Yarnelle's Sublime:
Ellen was one of my wonderful test knitters for Sacha and I love, love, love the way she is wearing the shawl in her photos. It drapes so elegantly across her arms and shoulders, and the color she chose is stunning. Not to mention her super cute pug named Inu that is quite the model herself. Check out Ellen's project page to see more ways to wear Sacha and the adorable little Inu rocking the shawl as well :)
Maria did an absolutely beautiful job on her Charlize, with both knitting and photography! Instead of a heavy fingering weight she used a DK Merino/Silk (a woman after my own heart! Merino/Silks are a fave blend of mine), and worked 5 repeats of Chart C (instead of the 3 or 4 as written) for a nice, large and squishy ruffle. This makes me want to knit another merino/silk, heavier weight Charlize myself ;)
balloonsue2's Alivia:
In the past year, tealy greens and blues have become personal favorite colors of mine, so of course I loved seeing Sue's FO! She also added extra repeats to make her shawl larger and it worked out beautifully!
This next Alivia also really caught my eye when I was browsing FOs: Valentina777's Alivia.
Valentina really changed Alivia's look with her modification of adding a lacey pointed border around the shawl's normally straight edge. She really made the shawl her own and I love the mods!
This post cannot be completed without mentioning another one of my test knitters and a good Ravelry friend of mine, Lynn, who completed not one or two, but three of my shawl patterns in the last 2 weeks. Go take a look at her gorgeous Sacha and Charlize shawls!
Kaliope was my very first shawl design, so seeing finished projects using this pattern is still very exciting for me. And the color she chose is beautiful and so perfect for this Spring and Summer!
In closing, I hope you enjoyed reading this Friday's first featured project post and that you gained some inspiration, as I have, from these beautiful projects.
Have a great weekend, everyone! :)
Note: The photos featured in this post are not my own and are the Copyright of the wonderful knitters mentioned above.

Well in advance of any proposed moving date it is advisable to phone our office in order to arrange an appointment for our assessor to call at a time suitable for you.
The purpose of the visit is to assess the volume of furniture and effects to be moved and also to discuss packing, dismantling of furniture, items not to be moved and other relevant information.
We offer a full packing service which is normally completed the day prior to moving. Alternatively, if you decide to do the packaging yourself, cartons will be supplied at no extra cost (subject to terms and conditions) and we will also supply wardrobe cartons for your hanging clothes and cat baskets if required.
We will send you a no-obligation free of charge quotation. Should you wish to accept and are in a buying and selling situation, a removal date should not be booked until exchange of contracts has taken place.
Please note that, if only a few specified items are to be moved, a visit is not normally required and a quotation will be provided by phone call or email.
We have been clearing properties for over eight years and have gained a reputation for being prompt, reliable and thorough. We tailor our service to the customer's needs. We cover Removals Coventry, Warwickshire and the West Midlands. We offer free quotations with no call out fees, and work 7 days a week.

Bereavements are handled sensitively.
If you live in Coventry and would like to find out more about our removals coventry services, or require a man and van service, why not contact us today.
Great guys helped move my office to the other side of town nice and easy with no fuss. Would and have recommend to friends and other business.
I couldn't recommend A and B removals enough, for small moves these guys are who you need. They helped me at short notice and were very friendly. I listed roughly what was in the flat and they gave me a quote an hour later. They will come round to assess if you wish. They arrived on time and within 3 hours I had moved house. They made my day a lot less stressful than I thought it would be. Thumbs up!
Phoned these guys on a Friday morning after being let down last minute by the firm I had booked, not only did they come out almost straight away but phoned another guy with a second van to come and help! Packed up my house in record time and saved the day!! Can't fault them at all and for a great price too! Highly recommend!

PowerPoint Problems
- Office Problems, Solved!
- Word Problems
- Excel Problems
- PowerPoint Problems
- Outlook Problems
Move objects exactly where you want them. When you move an object with the mouse, PowerPoint, like other Office applications, shifts the object by an increment rather than smoothly, pixel by pixel. Hold down the Alt key while dragging with the mouse to make the object move exactly where you want it.
If you want the same kind of precise movement and placement from the keyboard when moving objects with the arrow keys, however, you hold down the Ctrl key, not the Alt key. Without the Ctrl key, the arrow keys move objects 1/12 inch for each press.
View a slide show while editing. How can you tell what your edits will look like when you're working on individual slides? PowerPoint lets you view a miniature slide show to see. Use the View menu to make sure you are in Normal view, and if you have closed the left-hand pane with the Outline and Slide tabs, use the View menu to go to Normal (Restore Panes). In the toolbar at the bottom of the left-hand pane, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking the slide show icon (third from left). A slide show opens in the upper left corner of the screen, and the editing window remains open below it. Use Alt-Tab or the mouse to switch between the show and the editing screen. Changes you make in the editing screen appear immediately in the slide show.
You can also Shift-click the same icon to reach the Setup Slideshow dialog or Alt-click it to open the slide show in the PowerPoint window instead of full-screen.
Add or remove guidelines. To view guidelines on screen, use View | Grid and Guides and choose Display drawing guides on screen, or simply press Alt-F9. One set of guides appears; to add a guide, hold down the Ctrl key while dragging an existing guide. To remove an added guide, drag it out of the window and it will disappear.
Select a small or hidden object. When you can't select an object because it's too small or covered by other objects, press Esc to make sure that nothing is selected, then press Tab until the object you want is selected.
Turn on Smart Tags. Unlike Word and Excel, PowerPoint disables Smart Tags by default. If you want, for example, to type a date in a slide and then have an option to open your Outlook calendar for that date with just two clicks, use Tools | AutoCorrect Options, check Label text with smart tags, and click OK. Now type a date in a slide and move the cursor into the date; an information button appears. Click on the down arrow that appears when you mouse over the button and click on Show My Calendar.
Control grayscale viewing and printing. Some presentations work better in grayscale than color. For best possible grayscale output, use View | Color/Grayscale | Grayscale, and in the Grayscale View toolbar, click Settings and experiment with different views. (We find that the Inverse Grayscale option produces some impressive visual effects.)
If you want to print a color slide show on a monochrome printer, you may get the best results by using the drop-down Color/Grayscale options that appear in the Print dialog.
Write on a slide while presenting it. During a slide show, right-click on a slide, choose Pointer Options, select a pen style, and hold down the mouse to write on the slide.
To avoid the distracting menu display, simply press Ctrl-P to turn on the pen; press Ctrl-A to restore the arrow pointer. When you switch to the next slide, PowerPoint will ask you whether you want to keep or discard your annotations.
Add more undos. PowerPoint lets you undo up to 20 actions by default, but if you want or need more, you can increase the number of reversible edits all the way up to 150. Choose Tools | Options, and then choose the Edit tab. In the Undo field, select the number of actions (from 3 to 150) that you want PowerPoint to track, then click OK. Note that increasing the number of actions to track could also increase the amount of PC memory the program uses.
Handy Key Combinations for Powerpoint:
Shift-F3: Toggle selected text between lowercase, initial capitals, and all capitals.
Shift-F9: Toggle grid lines on and off.
Alt-F9: Toggle guidelines on and off.
Ctrl-M: New slide.
Ctrl-D: Duplicate the current slide.
Ctrl-Shift-C: Copy Autoshape style.
Ctrl-Shift-V: Paste Autoshape style.
Ctrl-Shift-G: Group objects.
Ctrl-Shift-H: Ungroup objects.
F5: Start a presentation.
For more, enter keyboard shortcuts in the Help field.

By Jeannie Watt
I just got the title for my January Super—Molly's Mr. Wrong. I love it!
Coming up with titles is one of the hardest parts of the publishing process—for me anyway. I can only imagine what it's like for the editors, who choose titles for many books every single month, especially considering some of the super lame titles I send in for consideration.
Here's the process—I finish my book and feel as if I've just successfully run a marathon—and did well. Then I get an email reminding me to do the Art Fact Sheet and to send an alternate title list to my editor. Since my books' working titles are along the lines of Finn's Story or Molly's Story, I honestly have to send in a list of possible titles. That's when the pressure starts. Titles are important. The title imparts to the reader a sense of what the story is about—whether it's playful or serious, whether a favorite trope is involved. In a matter of a second or two, a title can make a reader pick up a book or browse on. Perhaps that's why I freeze up when I start writing my list of possible titles.
Or maybe it's because the first ones out of my brain are always so lame. The Lost Love. Losing at Love. Winning at Love. A Lost Love Won.
The tearing of hair commences. Come on, Jeannie. You can do this.
Molly's Lost Love. The Redemption of Molly's Lost Love.
And so it goes for a day or two. Eventually the creative juices start to flow as panic sets in and the puns begin, as in Her Best Vet. Yes, I proposed that. My friend Ellen Hartman's first book's working title was Painted Love. I love that title. Puns are fun.
My best titles have come from the editors (especially Victoria, who seems brilliant at this) tweaking titles I've proposed. Her Inherited Cowboy became Maddie Inherits a Cowboy. Tempting a Cowgirl became To Tempt A Cowgirl, which in turn lead to a four-book series of To____ a Cowgirl. Easiest time I've ever had coming up with a title list. And another all-time favorite is Cowgirl in High Heels. The editors came up with that one. I was so grateful for such a perfect name for my book.
Titles I loved that didn't get picked—His Goodbye Girl and Hidden Assets. I hold out hope for those, because I recycle titles for my title lists. I keep my old lists and adjust. I have to. I simply do not have a genius title brain.
But I have a title I love for my next book and that's what matters…right up until it's time to name the next one.

I could hear a duck quacking. It sounded like it was coming from the potato patch. Was it injured, hidden under the growth? I looked but could see nothing. A while later, my daughter comes running, begging me to come and see the pine cone she has found. It was not a pine cone at all, and it was not a duck. Rather, a somewhat lost hedgehog! I had no idea they sound like a duck, did you?
Thus my day after boxing day I learned something new. Hedgehogs (they were imported from England to control garden pests back in the colonial era, I also found out rather serendipitously) sound exactly like ducks – they quack! No kidding!
Needless to say, his name now is Pine-cone.
I hope you had a great Christmas, free of ducks, pine cones and hedgehogs in your garden!

Usually when I have to go to the doctor I feel: nervous she's going to weigh me and tell me I'm fat (I don't actually think I"m fat, but I'm dense and muscly and short, which makes me heavy on those charts), and I'll try to nicely, but without directly explaining it, convey please don't say that, I spent years standing in front of the mirror crying at how little my ribs protruded, and only recently have allowed myself to eat when I'm hungry and run because I love it; convinced that my dread over being weighed is going to make my pulse and blood pressure high, further confirming her hunch that I'm obese; nervous to ask questions because I'll sound like a hypochondriac, yet at the same time reveal to myself a previously undetected incurable disease.
Yesterday I had my second appointment with my midwife. I actually had an appointment with the doctor that's in the midwife practice I'm going to, the philosophy being that at each of my appointments, I'll see whomever is available, and by the time I give birth, will have a good relationship with all five midwives and the OB in the practice.
Yesterday when I went to the doctor: I read a magazine, got complimented, and heard a baby heartbeat!
Honestly, I was kind of excited that they were running a bit behind; the twenty minutes I spent reading Redbook (Ha!) were the most relaxing of my week. The receptionist is nice and funny and doesn't make me feel nervous. Getting weighed isn't so nerve-wracking now that no one seems to care what I weigh as long as it's changing at the appropriate rate. Since I wasn't nauseated at the thought of the scale, my blood pressure and pulse were lower, and I didn't feel worried about being judged (I can't be the only one who has this chain reaction to visits to the doctor, right?). The sun was shining, people were in good moods, and when I finally did finish with my doctor, it was just late enough that I knew I wouldn't make it to practice in time to see the girls finish their intervals, but I would still have time for a run on my favorite trail. It has been a long time since I've had any time to myself (I know–good luck on having any in six months).
The other reason the appointment was great is that I got to hear Little Scone's heartbeat on the Doppler machine! I didn't even know this might happen, so I didn't have the chance to worry about it beforehand. The heartbeat sounded great: clear, consistent, right pace, and the best part was that we took a video (funny that I didn't know how to do this on my phone and my doctor showed me) so Nick could hear it, too. I think my doctor is also a genius-person-reader (this should be a more common skill in doctors, no?) because first she made a joke about my blood type being an A+, and then she told me that I was a model patient when I confirmed that it was okay to be running about 30-35 miles a week. Although I think it's pretty obvious that I'm worried about making mistakes and like to be reassured that I'm doing things well, I don't think I've ever had a doctor actually notice this.

What do you think about this product?
Have questions about this product?
It Works
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This is a great product to help boost the waterproofing on your gloves, and increase their overall longevity. I wouldn't say this makes them entirely waterproof- say if you submerged your gloves in a tank of water, it would eventually still get through. However, it will renew the gloves waterproofing, and makes for a great application on winter gloves. It is super easy to apply- it WILL drip if you apply a bunch, so just be conscientious when/where you use it.
Great and easy to apply
This is a great to add to your collection of nikwax products and to make skiing more enjoyable. These have added new life to my older gloves.
Rework that DWR
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I had some older gloves for my wife and these did a great job on the leaking palms. Super quick to apply and dry. Boom! Say goodbye to cold, wet hands.
Great for leather gloves
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I used this stuff on my Stoic Forge leather gloves, and the result was great. The leather now feels almost completely waterproof, and water beads right off when it's under a faucet. I've taken them skiing a few times since, and I've never had problems with soggy gloves or water soaking the leather (I saw this start to happen to the gloves a couple times before I used the Nikwax). Easy to apply too! A great way to revive an overused pair of gloves.
seems to work as advertised
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
i can only really speak to the application and a less than thorough testing.
it's easy to apply, but it drips off the gloves when applied liberally. i put some goat skin work gloves under the kitchen faucet briefly after the nikwax dried and the water ran off in parts, but not so much in others. i'm not sure why; the liquid went on uniformly. maybe it's bc these gloves were pretty worked beforehand.
Just for you to know
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
It will make the shell of a water proof clove go back to be waterproof. if the glove is NOT water proof it will be ONLY snow proof!!!!
i use it more then one time
Nikwax proven by the experts
easy application
Goes on easy, dries fast
Nikwax doesn't disappoint. This stuff is great. Brought my mitts back to brand new. It left a little haze on my black leather palms but that doesn't bother me. It actually helps with the grip. My only complaint is the applicator. Its a weird brush on the end that doesn't really dispense allot of the product. I found my self pushing it in with my finger to get it going.
I want to treat some Arcteryx gloves that have leather palms with something that will protect the leather and help with waterproofing when wet. I can't figure out which Nikwax product to use - Glove Proof or a Waterproofing Wax for Leather?
I have the OR Alibi II Gloves, that are not made of a fully waterproof material. Would this glove proof be a good application to make the OR gloves waterproof?
The face fabric of your gloves might not be fully waterproof but the Gore-Tex liner is so your fingers shouldn't be getting wet from outside moisture. If you do want to make that face fabric waterproof this Glove Proof should work fine.
Thanks Wayne!
Can I use this on the leather palms of my...
Can I use this on the leather palms of my BD mitts or do I have to buy the glove wax as well?
The leather palms should be fine with this stuff, it's designed for leather gloves (as well as fabric).
I would buy the glove wax. I use glove proof on the gloves and wax on the palms, that's just my preference.
Hey I can't decide what will work better...
Hey I can't decide what will work better for waterproofing and extending the life of my leather ski gloves, this product or Nikwax Creme Waterproofing Wax for Leather NIK0059. My gloves do have some synthetic on the wrist part which would be nice to have waterproof but is definitely not necessary. They are 90% leather and I'm most concerned with the actual leather care as both seem to waterproof equally.
I would reccomend this product as it is made specifically for gloves. Other leather products are most likely made for boots and shoes.
I have a pair of POW Leather Gloves. Would...
I have a pair of POW Leather Gloves. Would I wash these in Tech Wash before I treat them with the Glove Proof? I realized my gloves were not fully proofed after a rainy day on the mountain and it was completely soaked...
If the gloves are clean you shouldnt have to, but if you used them in the dirt or with salt ect ect just wipe them down with water. I have learned that you apply Glove Proof heavy, soak them with GP and wait then wipe the extra off.
How many gloves can you proof?
How many gloves can you proof?
Hey Dan:I work at Nikwax; we deal with these questions daily. I recommend you wash them before treating them, since dirt attracts water. Once you treat them, you can continue to wash them in Tech Wash and not decrease the DWR or Glove Proof effectivness. You should be able to treat 3-4 pair.BenBen Ben

A career in show business is a tough road. Those who want to make a big name in modelling or acting have to spend a lot of time building their portfolios. They need to have an imposing collection of their work done and should be able to showcase talent for other possibilities, too. This task can now be made easier with the help of corporate video production companies. Acquiring the help of these companies opens the gateway of options and facilities for constructing a believable but impressive image.
Shoot Your Portfolio in Style
An impressive photo shoot requires the right ambience in addition to certain personality traits. Impressive work done by the make-up artists and lighting crew adds extra spice to the whole event, and the outcome is sure to become a rage among the production houses. You can also go for shooting small videos, focussing your area of talent or displaying your take on various issues surrounding show business. All these activities can be presented in correct light with the help of video production companies.
Arrange the Right Setting for the Interview
In the corporate world, the interview is the trigger for starting a career. Companies have started giving extra importance to the set-up of the interview room so that the candidate is able to communicate accurately with the panel. The corporate video production companies take very good care of all the things required during an interview. These companies help in creating an apt ambience for interaction between the candidate and the management.
Filming the Important Events
London is one of the most happening cities in the world. Events of great grandeur and scale are organised here. Corporate video production companies London contribute their bit by making the filming a cakewalk thing. The complete set of necessary equipment is available with these companies for canning the memorable moments of the event. They can help in making documentaries using events in the backdrop.
Entrusting the Event to Creative Team
Video production is not confined to supplying equipment only. Based on the epigrammatic information given by the client, they can arrange for creative heads who can present the event in memorable style. Arranging a producer and director becomes quite crucial when any message of global appeal is to be conveyed in a creative style. It is a bit easier to communicate the idea this way. An audio-visual is believed to be the strongest medium of communication. So presenting a social cause roped in a story is sure to leave a long-lasting effect in the viewers' minds.
The time has come when there is no need to stick to papers and pens only for presenting ideas.

You have honed your powers of transformation to the point where you can become entirely animalistic.Prerequisites: Cha 13, any skinwalker heritage other than bloodmarked.
Benefit: When you use your change shape ability, you can instead take the form of an animal appropriate to your skinwalker heritage. Your animal form uses the size, movement rate(s), natural attack(s), and special qualities listed in the statblock for the appropriate 1st level druid's animal companion's starting statistics: coldborn (bear), fanglord (tiger), nightskulk (dire rat), ragebred (boar), scaleheart (crocodile), seascarred (shark), and witchwolf (wolf). You gain a +10 racial bonus on Disguise checks to appear as this animal, whose appearance is static and unique to you. Changing shape is a standard action. This ability otherwise functions as beast shape II, and your ability scores change accordingly.
If you wear a pelt of the beast that matches your skinwalker heritage, you may choose to adopt a form resembling the pelt you are wearing instead of your normal animal form.
Special: Bloodmarked instead select the Bat Shape feat.

LAUREL, Md. — Ultima Thule, an icy world 4 billion miles from the sun, looks like a big snowman.
At a news conference on Wednesday, scientists working with NASA's New Horizons mission released several images that the spacecraft took as it flew by on Tuesday, New Year's Day.
Planetary scientists have never before seen a close-up of a body like Ultima Thule. It is likely a fragment that coalesced more than 4.5 billion years ago and which has remained in the deep freeze of the solar system's Kuiper belt ever since.
If it is indeed a pristine planetesimal, a building block of the planets, studying it will offer clues to how Earth and its neighbors formed.
On Tuesday, scientists released a blurry picture of this small world, also known by its official designation 2014 MU69, taken before the flyby from a distance of half a million miles. It sort of looked like a fuzzy bowling pin then.
"That was so 2018," Dr. Stern joked.
Now, much more has come into focus.
[Sign up to get reminders for space and astronomy events on your calendar.]
The scientists now say with confidence that Ultima Thule long ago was what they call a "contact binary."
"Two completely separate objects that are now joined together," said S. Alan Stern, the principal investigator for the mission.
It consists of two almost spherical lobes, one with about three times the volume of the other. To tell them apart, they named the larger one Ultima and the smaller one Thule. "Being scientists, we are not all that creative with words," Dr. Stern said.
Such contact binaries appear to be common in the outer solar system, but, Dr. Stern said, "This is the first object that we can clearly tell was born this way,"
By contrast, he suggested, scientists did not know for sure whether other two-lobe bodies — most notably the rubber ducky-like Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko — were two objects that came together or one larger body that had eroded into its current shape.
A contact binary fits with some theories of how the planets formed — that clouds of pebbles clumped together into larger lobe-size bodies, and then these two lobes gently bumped into each other and stuck.
"It's actually gratifying to see these almost perfectly formed contact binaries in their native habitats," said Jeffrey M. Moore, the leader of the mission's geology and geophysics team.
In at least the general outlines, he added, "our ideas of how these things form seem to be somewhat vindicated by these observations."
He said that the two lobes must have hit at very low speeds, a few miles per hour at most. Dr. Moore said that the mottled appearance of the surface with dark streaks were suggestive of hills and ridges. As yet, there are no obvious craters visible.
"We see no unambiguous evidence," Dr. Moore said. "I'd be surprised if there are not at least a few."
Because these images were taken with the sun directly behind the spacecraft, there are no shadows to highlight the topography.
Color images show that Ultima Thule is reddish. A ring of brighter, less reddish material circles the connection between the two lobes, possibly loose material that rolled down and piled up at the bottom of the slopes.
The details of the shape conclusively answer the mystery of why New Horizons did not detect variations in Ultima Thule's brightness as it approached. Typically, an irregularly shaped object will have a rhythmic pattern of brightening and dimming as it rotates. But here, the spacecraft was looking down at one of the poles, so essentially the same side of Ultima Thule was facing the spacecraft the entire time.
The first batch of science data from the flyby arrived on Earth on Tuesday afternoon. More than 100 scientists, including Heidi B. Hammel, a planetary scientist and a media liaison for the science team, gathered in the evening for a look.
"Everybody was there," Dr. Hammel said in an interview. "They all wanted to see it. The picture goes up and everybody applauds and cheers. Immediately, the chatter starts."
A second shift of scientists worked on the data overnight, presenting more detailed analysis during a science team meeting on Wednesday morning.
New Horizons Glimpses the Flattened Shape of Ultima Thule
NASA's New Horizons spacecraft flew past the most distant object ever visited.
Dr. Stern highlighted the precision that was required for the rendezvous with Ultima Thule.
"It's only really size of something like Washington, D.C., and it's about as reflective as garden variety dirt," he said. "And it's illuminated by a sun that's 1,900 times fainter than it is outside on a sunny day on Earth, So we're basically chasing it down in the dark at 32,000 mph."
He also addressed a controversy over the nickname that the New Horizons team had chosen. Ultima Thule is a Latin phrase that means "a place beyond the known world," but it was also adopted by Nazis to refer to the birthplace of the so-called Aryan race.
"The term, Ultima Thule, which is very old, many centuries old, possibly a thousand years old, is a wonderful meme for exploration, and that's why we chose it," Dr. Stern said. "Just because some bad guys once liked that term, we're not going to let them hijack it."

St. Maarten/St. Martin: One island, Two countries. Located 18N, 63W and 144 miles southeast of Puerto Rico this dual nationality island is unique in the world. Just 37 square miles this tropical isle offers the best of two worlds: French and Dutch. Set amid azure blue waters, St. Maarten/St. Martin has a vigorous economy and is perhaps the finest Freeport in all of the Caribbean.
Yet it is two separate states, flying two flags, speaking at least four languages and using three different currencies. Discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus and claimed by Spain, it wasn't until the 17th century boom of the West Indies trade that St. Maarten/St. Martin was settled.
The Dutch wanted the island and eventually pushed out Spain only to discover a French settlement established. Legend has it that a Frenchman and Dutchman, both intoxicated, settled the land dispute by meeting in the center of the island and walking in opposite directions until they marked off their country's territory.
Today there are no border controls thanks to the Treaty of Concordia which was signed in 1648 and which allows both countries to remain peacefu neighbors.
The Northern part of the island, St. Martin, is French territory and is referred to as the 'French side', whereas the southern half, St. Maarten, which used to be part of the Netherlands Antilles and is referred to as the 'Dutch side'. On October 10, 2010 also known as 10-10-10, St.Maarten officially became the Country of St. Maarten and is one of the four constituent countries that forms the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The island has long been known as a popular vacation destination and in recent years has also been recognized as the Yachting Capital of the Caribbean.
The island's marine sector has been growing steadily over the years beginning with a small regatta (the Heineken Regatta) that has become one of the top ten in the world. As a completely duty free port, St. Maarten serves as a center of trade for neighboring islands. Visiting yachts appreciate the excellent air and sea freight links from Europe and the U.S.A., and the absence of delays that are typically experienced where border tariffs must be collected or waived.
Prior to arriving to the island, no vaccinations are required to enter the island. St. Maarten is situated near the Equator and thus receives the full force of the Caribbean sun. A high-SPF sunscreen is essential and a good pair of sunglasses are strongly recommended.
Dengue and Chikungunya are viral diseases transmitted by the Aedes mosquito that manifests itself as a high fever accompanied by headache, muscle and joint pain and weakness, which may last for several weeks.
Symptoms appear two to seven days after a bite from an infected mosquito. In most cases, these viruses do not present complications. Nevertheless, mainly due to a low platelet count, this viral infection carries a risk of hemorrhage. You should ensure that you protect yourself from mosquito bites. If in doubt, consult a general practitioner immediately and avoid taking aspirin
Do not shelter under the manchineel when it is raining. The sap and fruit are extremely toxic. As a general rule, do not eat fruit from a tree on the island without consulting the proper authorities first. Certain fish, particularly reef fishes, contain toxins that may, if eaten, cause serious illness (paralysis and low blood pressure) and very unpleasant symptoms (itching, numbness, dizziness).
This is known as ciguatera, or gratte – "itch" in French. Avoid eating fish until you have consulted the proper authorities, especially if you have caught the fish yourself. Large fish (+1 kilo) have the highest count of these toxins.

The Radcliffe lightweight varsity crew yesterday captured the national championship, while their heavyweight counterparts placed a respectable fifth at the Women's Collegiate National Championships on Lake Occoquan in Occoquan, Va.
In the heavyweight contest, the untouchable University of Washington claimed its fifth straight national title.
The remaining crew's waged an extremely close race for second place, with only three seconds separating the second and sixth-place finishers. The Radcliffe heavies finished behind Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Princeton.
"No one was expected to touch Washington, but we could have finished second," said temporary Radcliffe heavyweight Coach Bruce Beall (usually the men's lightweight coach). Beall substituted for Coach List Stone, who is expecting her first child.
"It was a very close race between everyone else," he said.
The racecourse was shortened from 2000 to 1750 meters because of a dam problem near the official start. This switch proved to favor the heavies as they improved their times against the first and second-place Eastern Sprints finishers, Princeton and Wisconsin.
Princeton clinche the Sprints with an explosive final burst, finishing nearl four seconds ahead of fifth-place Radcliffe. Yesterday, however, the Tiggers placed fourth, only one second ahead of the Black and White.
"Princeton won the Sprints, so comparatively our finish wasn't that disappointing," said seven-seat Alison Fowirley.
Lightweight Competition
The undefeated lights traveled to Virginia hoping to find a team that could challenge them--but not such luck. The lights embarrassed the University of Oregon crew, the only other entrant, swamping the Beavers by nearly 20 seconds.
Although the Oregon crew placed second by only one second in the Pacific Coast Crew Classic, the equivalent of the Eastern Sprints, they were no competition for the Radcliffe dynamos.
"They [Oregon] were representative of the best of the Western crews," said Radcliffe Coach K.C. Dietz.
The lights completed their season by demonstrating complete domination of lightweight crew on both coasts, having claimed the Sprints over Smith two weeks ago.

In this Edutopia article, consultant Maia Heyck-Merlin (author of The Together Teacher, Jossey-Bass, 2012) suggests seven steps to help teachers organize their lives for success – and keep their sanity:
• Select a tool to plan the week. Whatever worksheet you use – a handwritten template, a typed-in template, or a digital platform – the key is putting all time commitments and to-dos in one place so they can be viewed together.
• Plan the next week before the weekend. On Thursday or Friday, spend 30-45 minutes sorting the week's accumulated sticky notes, student work, office memos, and other stuff into piles – short-term to-dos, long-term items, meeting follow-ups, etc. – and fill out your planning template for the following week. The goal is to have next week's worksheet totally ready by Friday afternoon so as to maximize weekend R&R.
• Set priorities for the week. These should include big-picture classroom and personal goals – boosting student attendance, improving class culture, getting students reinvested in Big Goals for math, finalizing plans for the big field trip, planning a baby shower.
• List out all your meetings and appointments. Heyck-Merlin recommends keeping one master calendar for your personal and professional lives to avoid "collisions" – items like grade-level meetings, report card nights, staff retreats, doctor's appointments, your brother's birthday.
• Decide how you will use discretionary time. Your sanity is definitely improved by getting the most out of prep periods, lunch, before- and after-school time, etc. – and that requires deliberate planning.
• Allow flexibility for the "hallway ambush." There will always be unexpected requests and crises, and Heyck-Merlin recommends carrying your master calendar/list at all times (on a clipboard, in your pocket, or in a device) to make instant revisions when the unexpected happens.
• Review and adjust daily. "Things change," she concludes. "Life happens. At the end of every school day, sit down for five minutes and cross off what you've accomplished, roll over what didn't happen to another time slot, or decide to delete something you had intended to do."

CD Review: The Naked and Famous "In Rolling Waves"
David Beadle and his Auckland, New Zealand synthpop outfit is back with a sophomore effort that favors ambient soundscapes over the upbeat, dance vibe of their debut album. Beadle does induce a steady head-nod throughout the record by blending deep synth and electric frequencies to create a booming tone that helps perpetuate the undeniable moodiness. His sonic depth is especially impressive on the tracks "Waltz" and "Rolling Waves," where he carries the rhythm under melodic vocals.

|Candy aisle near checkout
In our recent paper published in BMC Public Health, we (that is Hans van Trijp, Kai Otten and myself) report two nudging studies on whether assortment structure and accessibility of healthier snacks influences consumer choices. The idea was that providing a larger assortment of healthier snacks and putting them on top of shelves makes these snacks more salient, attractive and convenient, leading hopefully to higher sales.
To test this idea, we first carried out a study among students in which we asked them to make a hypothetical choice from a shelf displayed at their computer screen. The results of this study showed that when the majority of snacks is healthy, students were are more likely to choose such a snack. Although this may seem obvious, they were equally satisfied with their choice and did not feel restricted.
However, lab studies do not always provide reliable predictions about how people behave in real-life. Therefore, we conducted a field experiment in hospital 'De Gelderse Vallei'. We now put an actual snack shelf near the checkout of the staff canteen. Each week, an alternative snack assortment was on display. The assortment included either 25% or 75% healthy snacks. We also altered their place on the shelf (either on the higher shelves or the lower shelves). On completion of the study, we also conducted a brief survey among employees.
When 75% of the assortment consisted of healthy snacks, sales of healthy snacks were higher. In contrast to our expectations, putting healthy snacks at the most convenient (top) shelf space did not impact consumer choices and sales. It could be that our manipulation was not strong enough (see picture). Interestingly, the majority of surveyed employees did not notice assortment changes. When asked, however, they preferred the shelf displays including the larger variety of healthy snacks.
Overall, these studies show the size of a healthy assortment of snacks matters. A relative large assortment of healthy snacks is able to influence consumer choices. However, we do not know whether this intervention really leads to better snacking habits at the longer term. Moreover, these types of interventions are typically more successful in canteens than those in restaurants and grocery stores, where financial interests are at stake.
While not all nudges are effective (see for example our nudging study among children), this nudge might be worth to give a try. Without forbidding any foods, a larger assortment of healthy snacks may catch consumer attention and even seduce them to purchase.

Black Friday. Cyber Monday. Giving Tuesday. On Tuesday, November 28, 2017, Touro University California will participate in #GivingTuesday, a global day dedicated to giving. This year, our campaign supports the Student Emergency Fund which helps TUC students across all programs in times of urgent need. Together, we can ensure that our students have help when they need it.
This Giving Tuesday, you can help our students in the times that they need it most. At least 28 students had to evacuate during the North Bay Fires. Some came back to find that they had lost their personal belongings or their rotation site housing. The Student Emergency Fund makes it so that they can get back on their feet.
The event made clear that when a crisis happens, help has to come immediately. By joining with us on Giving Tuesday, you can be that help. Without it, students are often forced to take a leave of absence. Medical emergencies and natural disasters threaten to undo their efforts to help our communities and pursue careers in medicine, public health, and education.
Give a little, make a big impact. The Touro community appreciates your generosity on this national day of giving as a vital part of our campus. Remember to share your support across all of your social platforms with the hashtag #TUCGivingTuesday on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube!

Something of a follow-up to the semi-outrageous article about Chinese Tiger Mothers, the results of a couple recent studies at Ohio State concluding, surprise surprise, that "Young Adults Are Obsessed With Self-Esteem." As it's wisely been pointed out, the self-esteem movement is a losing game, regardless of how it's played – human need is a bottomless pit. To paraphrase Gerhard Forde, who was paraphrasing Martin Luther, the thirst for glory needs to be extinguished rather than sated. If only knowledge alone were enough to get us to detach… And I don't know about you, but the very idea of narcissism scale frightens me (ht SZ):
Ohio State University scientists found that college students valued boosts to their self-esteem more than any other pleasant activity they were asked about, including sex, favorite foods, drinking alcohol, seeing a best friend or receiving a paycheck. "It is somewhat surprising how this desire to feel worthy and valuable trumps almost any other pleasant activity you can imagine," said Brad Bushman, Ph.D., lead author of the research… "We found that self-esteem trumped all other rewards in the minds of these college students," Bushman said.
Bushman said there is nothing wrong with a healthy sense of self-esteem. But the results of this study suggest many young people may be a little too focused on pumping up their self-esteem. Here's why: For all the pleasant activities examined in this study, participants were asked to rate both how much they liked the activity and how much they wanted it.
Both questions were asked because addiction research suggests that addicts tend to report they "want" the object of their addiction (drugs, alcohol, gambling) more than they actually "like" it, Bushman said. "The liking-wanting distinction has occupied an important place in addiction research for nearly two decades," Moeller said. "But we believe it has great potential to inform other areas of psychology as well."In this study, participants liked all the pleasant activities more than they wanted them, which is healthy, Bushman said. But the difference between liking and wanting was smallest when it came to self-esteem. "It wouldn't be correct to say that the study participants were addicted to self-esteem," Bushman said. "But they were closer to being addicted to self-esteem than they were to being addicted to any other activity we studied."
American society seems to believe that self-esteem is the cure all for every social ill, from bad grades to teen pregnancies to violence," he said. "But there has been no evidence that boosting self-esteem actually helps with these problems. We may be too focused on increasing self-esteem."
Study co-author Crocker added,"The problem isn't with having high self-esteem; it's how much people are driven to boost their self-esteem. When people highly value self-esteem, they may avoid doing things such as acknowledging a wrong they did. Admitting you were wrong may be uncomfortable for self-esteem at the moment, but ultimately it could lead to better learning, relationships, growth, and even future self-esteem."

Today's Headlines and Commentary
Today's Headlines and Commentary
Two senior intelligence analysts at U.S. Central Command are claiming that the military forced them out of their jobs for telling the truth about President Obama's war on the Islamic State. The Daily Beast reports that this is the "first known instance of possible reprisals against CENTCOM personnel after analysts accused their bosses of manipulating intelligence reports about the U.S.-led campaign against ISIS in order to paint a rosier picture of progress in the war." The two senior intelligence analysts making the claims have been removed from their positions and will no longer be working at CENTCOM. You can read the Beast's initial reporting from last fall on the issue here.
The United States announced that it had killed the Islamic State militant who was responsible for Marine Staff Sergeant Louis Cardin's death last month. According to U.S. Army Col. Steven Warren, "the militant, Jasim Khadijah, a former officer not considered a high-value target, was killed by a drone strike overnight in northern Iraq." He continued, stating that "we have information that he was a rocket expert, he controlled these attacks" referring to the attack on the Marine base where Cardin was killed. The drone strike also killed five other militants along with Khadijah.
Meanwhile, the Islamic State carried out a trove of suicide bombings across Iraq today killing at least 25 people and injuring dozens more. The BBC reports that "as many as 10 suicide bombers carried out the attacks, which reportedly targeted members of the security forces and allied Shia Muslim militias." Reuters tells us that "a suicide car bomb blew up in the center of Basra, the largest city in Iraq, killing five people, and another targeted a convoy of the Popular Mobilization Force (PMF), a coalition of Shi'ite militias, killing five, in the town of Mashahdeh, north of Baghdad." Reuters describes the rest of the attacks throughout Iraq here.
Over in Syria, the "cessation of hostilities" is unraveling as fierce clashes between government forces and opposition fighters erupted over the weekend in Aleppo. The Washington Post shares that "at least 25 pro-government and 16 opposition fighters died in clashes south of Aleppo, where the Nusra Front and rebel militias captured a hill overlooking a major highway...the fighting continued throughout the day Saturday close to the village of Tel al Ais, which overlooks the main road connecting Aleppo with the capital, Damascus."
Yet, despite clashes with opposition forces and other actors, the Syrian army has recaptured the town of al Qaryatain following last week's recapture of Palmyra. Al Jazeera tells us that the Syrian forces, backed by Russian airstrikes, fought the Islamic State out of the town after gradually surrounding it over the past few days.
A key leader of al Nusra Front, al Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, was killed in what rebel sources say appeared to be a U.S. drone strike in Idlib on Sunday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights confirmed reports on militant sympathizer websites that Abu Firas, "the Syrian," was killed along with a number of his companions. France 24 writes "while the Observatory said he was killed in a suspected Syrian or Russian air raid on a village northwest of the city of Idlib in northwestern Syria, two rebel sources said the attack appeared to have the hallmarks of a U.S. drone strike." However, a U.S. security official indicated that the United States was aware of Abu Firas' death, but did not have any other information to provide.
At least 22 radical Islamists from Europe linked to the terrorist attacks in Brussels and Paris are suspected to still be at large. The Wall Street Journal reports that interviews and confidential court documents "portray the fugitives as part of an extensive web of young men who developed a deep hatred of the West after embracing radical Islam at underground mosques and clandestine meetings in Molenbeek, a heavily Muslim district in the heart of Brussels." Additionally, the suspects have become essential to the Islamic State's plans to strike the West and continue to put European security forces on high alert as they attempt to prevent further Islamic State attacks from occurring in the region.
As European security forces increase measures to prevent more attacks, Belgians are attempting to root out radicalization in Muslim communities before it poses a threat. The Wall Street Journal shares that "the Belgian government is funding programs that feature community outreach and individual counseling in hopes of preventing radicalized men and women from heading to Syria and Iraq to fight with Islamic State."
Belgian authorities announced that a third suspect has been charged in connection with plotting a "major terrorist attack on France." According to the Washington Post, "the suspect, identified only as 'Y.A.' was taken into custody Friday. Prosecutors said that Y.A. is a Belgian citizen born May 4, 1982, making the suspect 33, but declined to provide further information 'in the interest of the investigation.'" Y.A.'s arrest comes as part of the same investigation that led to the arrest of Reda Kriket, in Paris. The Post also shares that police discovered assault rifles, handguns, and explosives—including the Islamic State's chemical of choice, TATP, in Kriket's apartment.
Wondering how two Brussels neighborhoods became a breeding ground for terror? The Washington Post shares a piece on everything we know about Molenbeek and Schaerbeek, the two districts that have been tied to Islamist extremism after the attacks in Brussels and Paris.
A British national was found guilty of plotting a terrorist attack on U.S. military personnel in the United Kingdom. The BBC reports that Junead Khan, a pharmaceutical company delivery driver, "wanted to emulate the killers of Fusilier Lee Ribgy in Woolwich in 2013. He planned to run over a member of the U.S. military outside RAF Lakenheath or RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk-the two massive bases used by the U.S. Air Force. Having done so, prosecutors said he would have tried to draw in security forces, before detonating a homemade bomb in a pressure cooker."
At least 30 soldiers and a young boy were killed as heavy fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces erupted on Saturday. The Washington Post tells us that the two countries' forces clashed over the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabakh and was "the worst outbreak since a full-scale war over the region ended in 1994. Since then, mountainous Nagorno-Karabakh—officially part of Azerbaijan—had been under the control of local ethnic Armenian forces and the Armenian military." Additionally, each side blamed the other for the escalation.
Following the intense escalation between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the United States and Russia have called for restraint. The Wall Street Journal reports that outbreak of fighting—some the heaviest since the Russian-brokered ceasefire went into effect—quickly raised alarms in Washington and Moscow. In a statement on Saturday, Secretary of State John Kerry said "the United States condemns in the strongest terms the large-scale ceasefire violations along the Nagorno-Karabakh Line of Contact, which have resulted in a number of reported casualties, including civilians. We urge the sides to show restraint, avoid further escalation, and strictly adhere to the ceasefire."
However, even though Azerbaijan announced a unilateral ceasefire on Sunday, the Washington Post indicates that there are reports of sporadic fighting between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenian forces continued. Read more on the continued violence here. Wondering what triggered the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh? Al Jazeera features an inside story video on the conflict here.
President Obama criticized Iranian leaders for undermining the "spirit" of the nuclear deal even if they stick to the "letter" of the pact. The Hill reports that "in comments following the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, Obama denied speculation that the United States would ease rules preventing dollars from being used in financial transactions with Iran, in order to boost the country's engagement with the rest of the world." The Hill adds that "instead, Obama claimed that Iran's troubles even after the lifting of sanctions under the nuclear deal were due to its continued support of Hezbollah, ballistic missile tests, and other aggressive behavior."
Yousef al Otaiba, of the Wall Street Journal, tells us that we should not be fooled with Iran. Last Saturday marked the one year anniversary of the framework agreement for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, and "sadly, behind all the talk of change, the Iran we have long known—hostile, expansionist, violent—is alive and well, and as dangerous as ever." Read more from the Journal here.
Jumping to Afghanistan, the Associated Press reports that at least six police officers were killed in a Taliban ambush on their convoy in Afghanistan's northern province of Balkh. The AP also tells us that, earlier today, two people were killed and six others were wounded in a bomb explosion aimed at police forces.
The Washington Post reports that "the European Union began offloading its refugee crisis into its Turkish neighbors Monday, sending back more than 200 migrants in the first stage of a plan to deport thousands that has drawn condemnation from human rights groups." In a deal struck by the E.U. and Turkey last month, the E.U. will send back all migrants who arrived in Greece by smugglers' rafts, but in return, the E.U. will accept one Syrian refugee from Turkey for every Syrian who is returned. However, the Post writes that "authorities braced for demonstrations or other forms of resistance from those being sent back only days after crossing the Aegean and arriving on European soil in search of a new life—part of a massive migrant wave that has tested Europe's resources and highlighted the desperation to the east in war zones such as Syria."
As Donald Trump continues to publicly show his disdain for NATO, Eastern European and Baltic leaders are indicating that American support for the 66-year-old alliance is more vital than ever. Politico shares a piece on how Europe is telling the United States to ignore Trump because they need NATO to combat the threat from Russia. Read more on that here.
The United States launched an airstrike targeting a senior leader of al Shabaab on Thursday in Somalia. The Hill reports that Hassan Ali Dhoore "is a senior member of al Shabaab's Amniyat wing, which does security and intelligence...He's planned and overseen attacks for the al Qaeda-linked terrorist group that resulted in the deaths of at least three U.S. citizens." According to Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook, the U.S. is still assessing the results of the operation, but "removing Dhoore from the battlefield would be a significant blow to al Shabaab's operational planning and ability to conduct attacks against the government of the Federal Republic of Somalia, its citizens, U.S. partners in the region, and against Americans abroad."
Boko Haram, now called the Islamic State in West Africa, has reaffirmed its loyalty to Abu Bakr al Baghdadi in a new video. The Long War Journal provides a summary of the video here.
The United States is planning its third freedom of navigation operation in the South China Sea. Reuters reports that "the U.S. Navy plans to conduct another passage near disputed islands in the South China Sea in early April, the third in a series of challenges that have drawn sharp rebukes from China." Reuters also writes that the United States has conducted these "freedom of navigation" exercises in recent months, "sailing near disputed islands to underscore its right to navigate the seas. U.S. Navy officials have said they plan to conduct more and increasingly complex exercises in the future."
A huge leak of confidential documents has revealed how the world's rich and powerful use tax havens to hide their wealth. The BBC tells us that the leaked documents stem from the largely secretive Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonesca, and reportedly show how the firm "has helped clients launder money, dodge sanctions, and avoid tax." The New York Times adds that the law firm "helped some of the world's wealthiest people—including politicians, athletes, and business moguls—establish offshore bank accounts." Among the many politicians and public officials were those of whom have extensive ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
TIME features a piece outlining all you need to know about the leaked documents here. But, you can keep up with the ongoing story of the Panama Papers via the Guardian here.
The FBI has told other law enforcement agencies in the United States that it will help them unlock iPhones belonging to suspected criminals, in keeping with long-standing policies. The Guardian reports that "in a memo sent to law enforcement agencies, published by BuzzFeed, the FBI said that following the successful unlocking of the San Bernardino shooters' iPhone 5c without Apple's help, it will consider any tool that will aid its 'partners.'"
Meanwhile, as the FBI is advertising its new ability to unlock iPhones, some interest groups are pressuring the Bureau to reveal how it was able to unlock the San Bernardino phone. The Hill shares that "technologists and digital rights activists warn that whatever security hole the agency was able to exploit to gain access to the device has been left wide open for online criminals to find—leaving everyday users of Apple products vulnerable to identity theft and other crime." The Hill has more on this story here.
According to the Miami Herald, Judge James Pohl, an Army colonel, abruptly canceled two weeks of pretrial hearings at Guantanamo that were scheduled to begin tomorrow following a secret notice from a Justice Department attorney. The Herald reports that the cancellation from Judge Pohl came as "attorneys, court staff, reporters, and legal observers were gathering in Washington, DC for a charter flight to the remote base for the April 5-15 hearings." Chicago defense attorney Cheryl Bormann, representing alleged 9/11 plot deputy Walid bin Attash, even thought it was an April Fool's joke.
In other GTMO news, two Libyan Guantanamo inmates were transferred to Senegal, marking the first time that Senegal has resettled GTMO prisoners. The New York Times tells us that "the men had been imprisoned without trial from about 14 years, and their transfers reduced the detainee population at the prison to 89." The Times also adds that "one of the men, Omar Khalifa Mohammed Abu Bakr, who is 43 or 44, was captured by Pakistani security forces in March 2002 during a raid on a guesthouse in Faisalabad and was suspected of having links to al Qaeda. The other, Salem Abdul Salem Ghereby, 55, was captured by Pakistani forces in December 2001 with a group of men who were suspected of having fled to the mountains after the battle of Tora Bora."

Parting Shot: Aum Shinrikyo, the Japanese apocalyptic cult responsible for the 1995 Sarin Gas Attacks on the Tokyo subway system, held a conference in Montenegro last week. The Daily Beast reports that "last week, 58 people believed to be affiliated with the creepy cult were caught at a seedy hotel in Danilovgrad, Montenegro, where they were holding a conference, according to Montenegro press reports. What the heck could they have been having a conference about? Read more from the Beast here.

My Thoughts on Dining Out in Paris
As a frequent traveler to Paris, I have amassed an extensive collection of dining guides, some helpful and some not so much, but the majority of which basically cover the same restaurants in the most visited parts of town without offering much else to the reader.
Longtime Paris resident and writer Tom Reeves offers so much more in his book, Dining Out in Paris. His guide is as straightforward as it gets, a must for the first-time traveler to Paris. Loaded throughout with French restaurant vocabulary and their translations, he demystifies much of the Paris dining experience. Not sure about the difference between a bistro and brasserie? What about those confusing menu combinations of entree, plat, and dessert? Tom explains it all.
Refreshingly, he eschews the usual, over-reported latest places for 12 lesser-known restaurants scattered about the City of Light. His thorough reviews include interviews with chefs and owners, who are often one-in-the-same, giving the reader a personal perspective of each location. And not all of his choices are French! He covers Moroccan, fusion, vegan, and more.
Be sure to read this informative guide before your next trip to Paris.
Bon appétit!
