Enjoy this recipe made with Progresso® chicken broth and cannellini beans. Pork, root veggies and Swiss chard create a cozy-up-to stew.
For the show, I hollowed out a one-pound loaf of crusty bread to use as a serving container. You can also serve the stew on white rice or noodles or on soft polenta flavored with roasted winter squash puree. Here is a stew with deep, rich flavors. If you do not care for turnips, try potatoes. If you like parsnips, add them. I tend to follow the old adage "The colder it is outside, the thicker the stew." Since it is not often very cold in the Napa Valley, this stew does not coat the tongue. If you prefer a thicker stew, double the flour.

"The Greatest" Visits The Brewers
Posted on 10 Mar 2011 by Scott Johnston.
He's simply known as "The Greatest." And with that, one knows right away who the center of attention is. Muhammad Ali was always the center of attention, even in defeat. And today, while visiting the Milwaukee Brewers in Phoenix, AZ, despite being crippled by the disabling effects of Parkinson's Disease, Ali is still at the center of attention. "His presence is just something that's...

OK , so I still can't figure any of this out. Can someone explain this to me?
If some bill that nobody says what it means does not get extended I will now pay $8 for a gallon of milk at the grocery store. But what am I as a federal income tax payer currently paying in taxes for someone elses milk? Other than the 2 weeks around xmas I never even use a quart in a week.
So, have I been paying another bunch of money for more socialism to pay for the milk someone else consumes????

Tangy Italian dinner ready in 20 minutes! Serve your family this spicy chicken, pasta and bean dish flavored with puttanesca sauce.
Puttanesca is a spicy Italian tomato sauce prepared with garlic, onions, anchovies, capers, ripe olives and oregano.
Puttanesca is traditionally served over pasta. This version, prepared with chicken and angle hair pasta, calls for green olives and omits the capers and anchovies.

Family: Centrarchidae, Sunfishes view all from this family
Description The green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) is a species of freshwater fish in the sunfish family (family Centrarchidae) of order Perciformes. A panfish popular with anglers, the green sunfish is also kept as an aquarium fish by hobbyists. They are usually caught by accident, while fishing for other game fish. Green sunfish can be caught with live bait such as nightcrawlers, waxworms, and mealworms. Grocery store baits such as pieces of hot dog or corn kernels can even catch fish. Small lures have been known to occasionally catch Green Sunfish. The green sunfish is said to have polarization sensitive vision not found in humans and other vertebrates mostly which helps in enhancement of visibility of target objects in scattering media, using a method called polarization difference imaging.
The green sunfish is blue-green in color on its back and sides with yellow-flecked bony-ridge scales called ctenoid scales, as well as yellow coloration on the ventral sides. They also have a dark spot located near the back end of the dorsal fin, the bases of the anal fins (Philips et al. 1982, p. 208; Page et al. 1991, p. 267) and on the ear plate ("Green Sunfish"). It has a relatively big mouth and long snout that extends to beneath the middle of the eye (Philips et al. 1982, p. 208; Page et al. 1991, p. 267). Its pectoral fins are short with rounded edges containing 13-14 pectoral fin rays (Page et al. 1991, p. 267), a dorsal fin with approximately ten dorsal spines ("Green Sunfish: Identification") and a homocercal tail. The typical length ranges from about 3-7 inches and usually weighs less than a pound ("Green Sunfish"). The green sunfish reaches a maximum recorded length of about 30 cm (12 in), with a maximum recorded weight of 960 g (2.2 lb). Identification of sunfish species from one another can sometimes be difficult as these species frequently hybridize (Philips et al. 1982, p. 208-209).
Dimensions Up to 10" (25 cm); 2 1/4 lbs (1 kg).
Habitat Lakes & ponds, Rivers & streams.
Range Plains, Great Lakes, Rocky Mountains, Southeast, Southwest, Texas.

As a professional art historian, I can answer questions related to the art and life of Salvador Dalí. I am neither an art broker nor an appraiser, so I cannot answer questions regarding a work's value or authenticity; however, I can refer you to individuals who work in the Dali market.
I am an art historian specializing in Salvador Dalí. For over ten years, I have been a pioneer in the critical study of Late Dalí (i.e., the artist's work after 1940). I have presented extensively on aspects of Dalís production at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Tate Modern, LUniversité de Lausanne, Cerisy la Salle, the University of London, and Harvard University, and I have been a guest lecturer at Cambridge University and the University of Chicago. I have published several essays about Dalí in addition to my book, 'Dalí, Surrealism, and Cinema' (Kamera Books, 2007). I have also contributed to major international exhibitions of Dalí's work, including the Dalí Centenary Exhibition (2004-05) and 'Dalí & Film' (2007-08).

hayward still scaanin 39.99 two hours ago
hayward still scaanin 39.99 two hours ago
That is odd. But, I do know that they did have at least three left at the Dublin store. I'm surprised that different TRU's have different stock on clearance. Maybe the Hayward one is going to catch up later?
Got tghe $30 tie interceptor today. Plus picked up the $99 Turbo Tank for only $6.57 after taxes due to being priced to $0.00 clearance.
Woo Hoo
Turbo tank??? At TRU Hayward?
Wow! Sweet deal!
I haven't seen one of those at any of the TRU's in a long time.
Did they have any others?
The sale starts today. I was able to pick up the Flame Thrower Clone and Goji at the Hesperian Target in Hayward for $5 each . Just gotta' find the camo arf trooper. If anyone can pick up an extra one for me, I would appreciate it.
Have a good week folks.
Yeah, sounds good.
Im looking for camo arfs as well. If I see extras I will pick up for us bay area guys as well.
I will do the same for Hoth Packs. If I find em I will let you all know. If you beat me to it or are not interested then thank the gods for the target return policy.
Happy Hunting
Thanks for the backup on the Camo's. I'll post as well if I get them.
I'll take a pass on the Hoth packs for now. Got enough of the older Hoth stuff although the new rebels look pretty good and I will be buying more of the new snow troopers individually since they are on sale.
Found those three figures at TRU in Dublin today. They had multiples of each one.
Have: CW Yularen, CW Clone, everything from CW Slave I set except Slave I, TFU Shadow Stormtrooper x2, Evo Trooper, Saga AT-AT Driver, K-Mart Jodo Kast || Want: Vintage Fordo
Thanks to TheDarthVader, Phantom-like Menace, TheRealDubya, Jediguy, Dark Marble, Umbra, Qui-Long Gone, CrunchyNug, GH_fan and jedikiss.

You know, Lucas loves to preach. Here he has a chance to mass educate about the Holocaust, like Spielberg did - and the two are buddies. If "Joe growing up in Arkansas" doesn't know, care, or empathize with the Jewish Holocaust (or Bosnia, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq...etc but mostly the Jewish Concentration Camps), when they are the Jedi being mass murdered (hero characters we've come to love) it will bring out the desired empathy and understanding. With religion and immaculate conception (which didn't happen but was likley a set-up), Lucas can't keep from preaching.
Personally, I like it. It does make you reflect. And it's intelligent writing.
The Sith vs. Republic is an age old debate about the kind of most effective government, violently played out.
Well, I opened up a can 'o worms for something to talk about.

The wrapping paper is thrown all about, smiles on every face. Hope everyone got what they wanted or needed and the smell of Christmas cooking is filling the air.
I wanted to take just a minute and share my Christmas wishes to you all.
Christmas for me is a special time. Enjoying the time with my family is by far more precious than any gift that can be wrapped. The time that I get to share watching the kids open their gifts, sharing in their joy and company is the very best that life can offer.
I have had the pleasure of spending far to many Christmas's away from my family. Georgia, Alaska, and Iraq just to name a few of the wonderful locations that Christmas morning was spent without loved ones. Those Christmas's are the times that I really understood the value of family. It's when you don't have them around that you realize just how special they are.
This year as we celebrate our Christmas we celebrate with the heaviness in our hearts that next Christmas our oldest son may not be with us to celebrate. John leaves in two weeks to serve our country in the Army. And while I am extremely proud of him and know that he will serve with honor and pride, we are going to miss him dearly.
So this year, we make the most of the time spent with him and the whole family.
So the giving of gifts and the exchange of Christmas wishes are always met with the blessing of our family.
From my family to yours.
Merry Christmas! I hope you got some new gear and are ready for the new year!
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Christmas 2012
The wrapping paper is thrown all about, smiles on every face. Hope everyone got what they wanted or needed and the smell of Christmas cooking is filling the air.

Portland overtakes Idaho in women's hoops
MOSCOW - The Idaho women's basketball team spent the first 23 minutes of its home-opener against Portland building a big lead, and the final 17 giving it away in a 62-56 loss in Memorial Gym on Friday night.
In Idaho coach Jon Newlee's opinion, the meltdown boiled down to just a couple things.
"We fouled and we fouled and we fouled, and then we didn't rebound and we didn't rebound and we didn't rebound," Newlee said. "We're giving them two, three four shots each time down. Then we don't move our feet, we start reaching, we start fouling inside and giving them either easy buckets inside or free throws."
Idaho (0-3) led by 10 points, 31-21, at halftime and expanded that lead to 18 with a 10-2 run to open the second half. Portland's physical play helped the Pilots (1-2) start chipping away, getting Idaho's lead down to 14 points before a 14-2 run gave them all the momentum in a tight game down the stretch. Idaho went up by four, 47-43 with just under nine minutes to play, but Portland stuck to its guns, going on another 9-2 run to lead 54-49 with 5:50 to play. The Vandals scored the next five points to tie the game at 54-all, but never regained the lead.
"That's the word, play us physical. They got the Wyoming tape," Newlee said, referencing his team's loss in the season-opener. "That second half right there was exactly what happened in Wyoming. They get after Alyssa physically and she's got to battle back, Ali's got to do the same. We got abused inside, we got absolutely abused inside, and that's got to change because every team is going to come in here and try to do the same thing. We've got to find someone who is tough enough to go in there and rebound and fight through that."
The Vandals shot 29.4 percent from the field in the first half, but did most of their damage from beyond the arc, hitting 5-of-12 first-half 3-point attempts. Meanwhile, Portland was even colder, hitting just 25.0 of its shots in the first half and just 1-of-10 3-pointers. But the Pilots hit 53.3 percent of their shots in the second half, mostly from inside, while the Vandals shot 25.7 percent after the break.
Portland out-rebounded Idaho 60-44, and outscored the Vandals 32-18 in the paint and 20-6 in second-chance points.Portland overtakes Idaho in women's hoops
"They were physical but we should be able to handle that," Idaho junior Alyssa Charlston said. "We were prepared and we had the lead, in the end it was a physical battle that we lost because they were getting so many O-boards. It doesn't feel good."
Charlston finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds, her first double-double of the season. Freshman Christina Salvatore scored 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting from 3-point range, and added five rebounds. Sophomore Maren Austgulen, who made her Vandal debut after serving an NCAA-mandated 34-game suspension, scored nine points and added five rebounds and a steal in 14 minutes of play off the bench.
"Maren was solid tonight," Newlee said. That's what she gives us in practice. She did a good job, she was a bright spot tonight. She hasn't played a game in a couple years and she came in and was poised and took the shots that she needed to take. She was trying to rebound and get physical in there. She definitely was a positive tonight for us."
Freshman Ali Forde had eight rebounds in the game, but went 0-for-5 from the field and didn't score. Junior Janelle Weiss scored eight points and had two assists in nine minutes off the bench, and senior Jessica Graham had six points and two rebounds.
Kari Luttinen scored a game-high 18 points for Portland, and added 10 rebounds, while Amy Pupa also had a double-double for the Pilots, finishing with 12 points and 14 rebounds. Pupa also blocked four shots, and Portland had seven blocks in the game.
Idaho returns to action when it hosts Montana at 2 p.m. on Nov. 18 in Memorial Gym.

I am continuing my poll series for new Hasbro 3 3/4" vehicles.
This thread will discuss primarily the vehicle in the title of the thread in this case A Coruscant Air Bus from ROTJ seen in the Special Edition of ROTJ.
However, this vehicle is possibly seen in all the prequel movies (though a much smaller one transports Obi-Wan, Anakin, Padme, R2D2, Typho, and Dorme in AOTC. This is not that vehicle, so please see the picture I've provided from ROTJ below.
This is the bottom of the barrel for ROTJ. Every conceivable ship in the movie has been pretty much polled for. If you have any suggestions for ROTJ vehicles for polling, please post them in this thread, else Episode 6 will drop out of the process the very next go-around.
I cover several unmade vehicles for the action figures per week, choosing them from a rotating schedule through the movies and the Expanded Universe.
I order it TPM, AOTC, ROTS, ANH, ESB, ROTJ, EU, and then keep going back through the order in that manner.
So here I'm only asking you if you'd buy A Coruscant Air Bus from ROTJ?
I propose the carrying case vehicle be made for this one for certain. The Rebel Transport from ESB served a military purpose as a Rebel Alliance passenger and freight hauler. The airbus is only a passenger vehicle with no need for a play interior - other than it should have "seating," and not honeycomb "containers" for the figures you put inside.
Obviously the airbus is ideal for this sort of carrying-case use, since both PT and OT characters can be placed in each one (thus you could buy two at a minimal).
On the outside, it's perfect for diorama use for Coruscant's busy skyways.
Meanwhile, it should include an airbus driver figure as a pack-in exclusive. He can be human, but an alien might sell much better. Here's a chance at that almost-Bothan looking alien who drives the taxi in TPM.
Again, the pilot figure should have a cockpit to pilot the bus from.
So do you want the Coruscant Air Bus from ROTJ?
What other features would you want on it?
Why would you NOT want it?
How do you think it would sell if produced?

Trescothick supports England batsman
Jonathan Trott made the right decision to leave England's Ashes tour, says ex-England batsman Marcus Trescothick.
Trott, has left Australia to recover from a "long-standing stress-related condition".
That was also the description used when Trescothick returned home from down under in 2006.
Warwickshire batsman Trott endured a difficult time in the first Test in Brisbane, which England lost by 381 runs, scoring only 19 runs in two innings as he struggled against the bowling of Mitchell Johnson.

Globe and Mail: Assassination in Africa: Inside the Plots to Kill Rwanda's Dissidents
"As revelations of murder plots and assassinations mount, easy narratives of good overcoming evil become more and more difficult to sustain. The reality in Rwanda is far more complex. The mass killings of the 1990s and the recent assassination plots left almost no one untainted."

And you thought the Blizzard of '78 was disruptive. That was just a little snow and a few blocked roads. Picture buildings from Southie to West Somerville reduced to rubble. Dozens of three-alarm fires all over town. Tunnels flooded with seawater. And, hey, maybe a few escaped anthrax spores for good measure. Trapped under a building? Just sit tight — federal search and extraction teams are only a county away. Let's hope the bridges into town are in decent shape.
Take a deep breath. It probably won't be quite that bad. But it could be bad. Seismologists, structural engineers, and emergency responders are concerned that Boston is particularly ill-suited to withstand a major quake. Vast swaths of Boston's buildings and infrastructure — brick townhouses on Beacon Hill dating back to colonial times, miles of turn-of-the-past-century subway tunnels, structurally suspect World War II–era bridges — predate modern quake-conscious building codes and are especially vulnerable.
But the big-money question is how local, state, and federal officials would tend to the injured and displaced after such an unexpected and unprecedented event. A moderate-to-strong earthquake that strikes without warning might only shake the ground for a few seconds, but could leave devastation in its wake.
Responding to a quake in Boston might require widespread search-and-extraction operations. Or massive, citywide firefighting efforts with broken water pipes leaving little means to fight the flames. Gas mains might be ruptured. Bridges disabled. Public transportation hampered. Hurricane Katrina laid bare the government's potential for inefficiency and incompetence when it comes to dealing with huge natural disasters. Have we learned lessons since then? Or are we still on shaky ground? We may be finding out sooner than we'd hope.
Rumblings and predictionsNew England averages an earthquake of magnitude 5 or greater about once every 50 to 60 years. The last tremors that big occurred in December of 1940, when Ossipee, New Hampshire, was shaken by two quakes, four days apart, that each measured 5.5 on the Richter scale.
According to geophysicist John Ebel, director of Boston College's Weston Observatory, that means "we are past the average."
Of course, averages are not fail-safe predictors. "If you have two earthquakes a year apart, and then wait 99 years for the next earthquake, the average between those earthquakes is 50 years," explains Ebel. "They don't happen like clockwork."
But lately Ebel has been noticing some disquieting trends. "I was looking at the earthquake activity in the New England region going back to 1979," he says. "The time period from the '70s to the mid '80s was active — and we've had a few active spurts since then."
By and large, however, the aughts had been marked by "very, very low activity." Until just now. The past couple of years have seen an appreciable uptick in seismic restlessness in the region. Most notably, there was a series of quakes in Bar Harbor, Maine, in the fall of 2006, the largest of which measured 4.2. "We've started to come back up from this recent low period of activity." he says.
"Sooner or later," Ebel cautions, "we have to have another earthquake above magnitude 5 in order to catch up with the long-term statistics. Obviously, if that happens around Boston, there will be damage."

Temple Zeroes in on a Mac Crown
Posted on 2 Nov 2010 by Adrian Fedkiw.
For the second consecutive week, the Owls defense pitched a shutout. It's the first time that Temple has posted back to back shutouts since 1971 where they blanked Uconn and Xavier. The Owls extended their home winning streak to ten. It took a half before the Owls got the offense going. Temple scored just six points before the intermission. In the 2nd half, the Owls exploded for 24 ...

Hey everyone, check this out:
Don't throw away your receipts!!
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
tonight's small run: Burbank TRU: had 1 clone training, a lot of Padmes and wolfman jedis
Burbank Target: had a Mc STK Hero which I picked up, probably of the same Toon saw; of GI Joe 25ths they had a red ninja, Duke, Cobra commander, and a few Destros!! (regular version). I don't collect these, but Destro looked so cool I had to get him. Him and Snake Eyes are the only 2 I have.
I still don't like these but they had only 2 MM left, a Maul and Stormie.
Every once in a blue moon I find something good in Burbank. Tonight was the night.
Glendale Target is quickly regaining its Deadwood status -- it's had the same tired Wave 7 for a couple weeks now. They did have a full shelf of Battle Packs, though. I stashed a Clone Attack on Coruscant, as there was only one, and hadn't seen it on the shelves before. If anyone wants it --
If anyone needs the new Evolutions sets my local has plenty of them here. I am happy to help out. Cheers.
Hey guyz,
If anyone sees the new GI JOE comic 2-packs, please stash for me. They are:
1. Tomax and Xamot
2. Crimson Guard with removable helmet and "Scarred" Cobra Officer
3. Ace and Wild Weasel
I could use Tomax and Ace comic packs as well. What is it with Joe distribution anyhow? I haven't even seen wave 2 of the comic packs yet and so I'm looking for Destro/Breaker as well.

I know there are many that we want to see made that Hasbro isn't making. And even the re-makes that they are making, instead of making vehicles that were hard to find, they make ones that kept the shelves warm just a few years ago.
So let your voice be hard and tell what AF items you want to see.
Here's mine:
Star Destroyer ( They have the mold and everything! )
Hound's Tooth
Tie Crawler
Jedi Starfighter ( It was a major part of EP2 and Hasbro isn't making it )
The Dianoga Battlepack.
That is all I can think of for now, but share your wants.

Filmmakers host award-winning animal rights documentary
Binghamton University will host a screening of the award-winning animal rights documentary Peaceable Kingdom at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7, in Lecture Hall 7. The screening is free and open to the public.
After the screening, audience members will be able to get to share their reactions to the documentary during a question-and-answer session with filmmakers James LaVeck and Jenny Stein. Also in attendance will be one of the film's subjects, Howard Lyman, a fourth-generation rancher who quit farming and wrote the book, Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat.
Peaceable Kingdom profiles ordinary people whose lives have taken an extraordinary turn as they uncover and expose the injustices around the use of animals in industry. At a time when public health concerns around factor farming practices are at a peak, Peaceable Kingdom offers firsthand testimony both from family and factory farmers who break generations of silence about how things on the farm have gone terribly wrong.
Selling out 10 days before the event, the world premier of Peaceable Kingdom at Manhattan's Lincoln Center drew an audience of 1,100. Attendees at the February 28, 2004, event included several U.S Congress members, TV journalist Bill Moyers, and musical artist Moby. It had sold-out screenings in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, was accepted to seven film festivals and has had several community viewings.
Peaceable Kingdom is the second documentary from producing/directing team LaVeck and Stein. Their first documentary, The Witness, was featured in 24 film festivals and received eight awards including best documentary awards at the Brooklyn Film Festival and the New Jersey International Film Festival.
The event is being hosted by students in the Binghamton Scholars program. For more information, contact Francine Montemurro at email@example.com or George Catalano at email@example.com or 607-777-2388.

purple orange eyed snail died today
So sad my purple snail died today. I bought it 4 months ago and it was the sz of a pea. It watched it grow to the sz of a quarter. Now it died. So sad. Not sure what happened. I am new to the fish tank hobby. I have 9 other fish and they are all healthy. So I don't know why I can't keep mystery snails alive longer than 4 months. Any suggestions?

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
The Salient
When you're taken to a place called Turkey Point, there's a certain amount of pressure. I mean, you don't want to be known as the guy who returned turkey-less from such an awesome-sounding place.
Turkey Point was … well, a point. Specifically, it was one of those gorgeous southwestern Wisconsin points that fall off quickly on the sides, form a distinct tip pointing toward the Mississippi River and then drop off into what locals call a coulee but what other folks might define as a really deep unglaciated ravine.
And, true to its name, Turkey Point held a hot-gobbling longbeard that late-May morning. Better, my buddy had put us within 60 yards of that lonely bird. When my first soft tree-yelps were interrupted by a savage gobble, I dumped my call in my lap and got my cheek down on the stock.
The turkey of Turkey Point flew straight down and started drumming, just out of sight over the crest of the terrain. I gave him one more series of yelps, tried not to jump when he hammered back and got ready for the kill.
However, the turkey of Turkey Point seemed content to strut around the narrow band of level ground on said point. In fact, he did that for about 15 minutes, always just out of sight.
Dang it. He wouldn't do that forever, so I had to choose a course of action. Logic dictated that the pepper-hot bird would eventually poke his head up to look for the hen he'd heard, so a patient approach seemed prudent. Conversely, the gobbler likely didn't spend all day on Turkey Point, and he'd eventually leave.
My time on Turkey Point was coming to a head.
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

Tiger Path Ride
Early the next morning, we set off for a walk to the Polo Grounds and from there through the forest on a well laid bridle path called the Tiger Path Ride. The earlier Governor's residence is at the upper end of the MTDC property. Most of the Rides were laid as proper bridle paths for use by horse and carriage in the British days. The best and broadest such paths are around the original Governor's residence.
The Polo Grounds in September are not surpisingly, carpeted with wildflowers. Cheerful clusters of yellow smithias opened up as the sun rose higher in the beautiful sky.
The Carnac Point and Falkland Point are two view points off the Tiger Path. Both are now overgrown and not on the regular tourist circuit. The Bombay Point is at one end of the Tiger Path. The old and once regal bandstand there is poorly maintained with litter all around. Sunset views from here are supposed to be the best. In reality it is the same view from any clearing on the west facing cliff edge !
From the Bombay Point another ride - Dan to Beersheeba Ride - connects the Fitzgerald ghat road to Poladpur and Mahad.
Here are the photos:

No permissions required. You can go on your own, Mahabaleshwar is full of such rides and trails, no need to take any guide in my opinion, but you could if you want to. You will find plenty of people touting their services at the main roads of Mahabaleshwar!

New libre source for data mining on large data sets:
CloSpam -- closed frequent pattern mining, released under the University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License.
Given a database of transactions, we would like to find frequent patterns in those transactions. For example, if we are running a large retailer, and maintain terabytes of customer transactions, we would like to find what items are bought together. In the data mining community, this is known as "frequent pattern mining".
There are an exponential number of possible frequent patterns in a large database, and thus it becomes important to avoid checking all such patterns.
CloSpam is a fast implementation of CLOSET, a recent data mining research paper in SIGMOD by Jian Pei, Jiawei Han, and Runying Mao.

Compensation amounts have now been decided in a settlement reached last year for individual victims of abuse that include former residents of the Mount Cashel orphanage.
The settlement includes a $16.5-million cash payment from the Catholic lay order, the Irish Christian Brothers and one of its insurers and affects more than 420 men and women in the U.S. and Canada who say they were molested as children by members of the Christian Brothers.
The new development is that a retired judge has decided how the money will be distributed to the claimants, about two thirds of whom are in the U.S., said lawyer Geoff Budden.
Most of the Mount Cashel claimants involved were residents of the orphanage prior to the early 1960s, when the American branch of the Christian Brothers withdrew from the Torbay Road, St. John's facility.
The victims will receive their money within two or three weeks and the payouts range in amount, depending on such criteria as the type and extent of the abuse and the impact on the victim's life. The minimum payout is $5,000.
"Nobody is getting the compensation I believe they would be entitled to, but it's a limited pot, therefore it's only viewed as partial compensation," Budden said this morning.
"I think there is satisfaction from the guys I have spoken to. Nobody, including the courts that administered this, is suggesting this is adequate and full compensation, but there is only so much money there. That's the nature of a bankruptcy."
There is also a small pot of money coming from a couple of properties involved in the settlement that have not yet been sold.
Budden represents some 90 clients involved in the settlement, which was announced last year and affects some 160 local victims of sexual abuse, mostly residents of the former Mount Cashel orphanage in St. John's. Some 10 per cent of the victims were other school children.
When reached last spring, a victims' committee appointed by the U.S. Justice Department and including three Canadians, approved the terms and conditions of an agreed-to reorganization plan in the Chapter 11 cases of The Christian Brothers Institute and The Christian Brothers of Ireland, Inc. (In the United States, the Christian Brothers are the civil arms of the North American Province of the Congregation of Christian Brothers of Ireland).
It's not the end of the Mount Cashel saga — victims continue to seek full compensation through actions against the Roman Catholic Episcopal Corp. of St John's.
The boys' orphanage was closed in 1990 and the building demolished in 1992.

It's Showtime Heads to Spain in June; Tyrone Spong Headlining
- Written by Dave Walsh
It's Showtime is nothing short of a juggernaut in 2011. The next It's Showtime event is May 14th in Lyon, France, being headlined by Badr Hari vs. Gregory Tony in Badr's big comeback fight. Then, mere days later on May 21 it is back to Amsterdam in the Sand for another big event headlined by Hesdy Gerges against Chris Knowles. That is it for the month of May, then June happens and they head to Poland on the 11th for Danyo Ilunga's first 95kg title defense.
With a show planned for July in Russia with Hesdy Gerges defending his Heavyweight title, you'd think they'd slow down, but they don't. Today it was announced that It's Showtime will head to Madrid, Spain on June 18 for a big show headlined by the King of the Ring himself, Tyrone Spong.
This is good news for kickboxing fans as It's Showtime is not only picking up the slack left by K-1, but putting on way more shows than we got from K-1 last year with the second half of the year yet to be announced yet. Keep an eye on this space for card updates, as there is still a lot yet to be announced.

Stevie Ray Vaughan Opens Up in His First Guitar World Interview from 1984
Here's Guitar World's first full-length interview with Stevie Ray Vaughan, from the May 1984 issue. The original story ran with the headline "Stevie Ray Vaughan: Hendrix' White Knight."
Click here to see the cover of the "Sound of Texas" issue—and all the GW covers from 1984.
In an age where musical tastes are being shaped by technological innovations, where sensibilities are being assaulted by arsenals of Linn drums and Fairlights and Mini Moogs, it's downright refreshing to see someone playing straight from the gut again.
With his stripped-down attack and electrifying prowess, Stevie Ray Vaughan has refocused attention back to the bare essentials—guitar, bass and drums in a basic 12-bar format.
He has no light show to speak of, no dry ice, no fog, no lasers. He doesn't go in for the leather-and-studs macho posturing of popular heavy metal bands and he's not particularly adept at crowd manipulation as many of the top rock bands are. Yet Stevie Ray Vaughan is a hot property, perhaps the hottest thing to come out of Dallas since J.R. Ewing.
A longtime local hero in juke joints throughout Austin, Houston, Dallas and Fort Worth, Stevie Ray is now proudly waving the Texas flag all over the country in one sold-out concert venue after another. His formula hasn't changed much from his humbler days, but young concertgoers can't seem to get enough.
His secret? A soft-spoken, laconic man, Stevie Ray sums it up in three little words: "I just play."
Of course, there's more to it than that. Though he's not one to admit it, Stevie Ray is perhaps the most in-the-flesh exciting blues-based electric guitarist to come along since Jimi Hendrix passed.
Comparisons to Hendrix are inevitable. Listening to Stevie Ray's debut Epic album, Texas Flood, the similarities are all-too apparent. The title cut recalls the searing blues power of Jimi's "Red House," while the tender ballad "Lenny" is reminiscent of such lyrical Hendrix offerings as "Angel," " Little Wing" or "Wind Cries Mary."
The Hendrix influence looms large over Stevie Ray Vaughan. Yet, this is no clone act. The 29-year-old Texan is playing it sincere, offering up a heartfelt homage to someone who obviously touched his soul.
Says Stevie Ray of his alter ego: "I loved Jimi a lot. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist. He could do anything. I was about sixteen when he died. I could do some of his stuff by then but actually I've been trying to find out what he was doing moreso lately than I was then. Now I'm really learning how to do it and I'm trying to expand on it ... not that I can expand on it a whole bunch. But I try."
Like many of the young guitar enthusiasts who come to his shows, Stevie Ray never saw Hendrix perform live. Other than a few tips early on from his big brother Jimmie, he had no mentor to show him the way. He couldn't read music (still can't), so he didn't pick up any techniques from the various instruction books available on the market that dissect Jimi's technique.
Instead, he relied solely on his ears and an uncanny ability to capture the emotional essence of Jimi's playing just from listening to his records. He still relies on his keen ears to this day.
"I took music theory for one year in high school and flunked all but one six-week period," he confides. "That's because I couldn't read music and the rest of the class was already eight or nine years into it. The teacher would sit down and hit a ten-fingered chord on the piano and you had to write all the notes down in about ten seconds. I just couldn't do it. It was more like math to me."
He adds, "A lot of the songs I write now … I don't even know what key they're in. I have to ask somebody to find out. I can play it, I just can't name it. Jazz changes and all. But I don't know the names of what it is I'm doing."
When asked how he communicates his musical ideas to the other members of Double Trouble (drummer Chris Layton and bassist Tommy Shannon), Stevie Ray again doesn't waste words: "With this," he explains, uncovering a recently purchased Fostex four-track cassette recorder. "Now I can just lay down tracks and play it back to the guys so they can hear just how I'd like it to sound. I did one the other day with two guitar tracks and a drum track. I played some drums before picking up the guitar and I still like to mess around with them. So now I can use this Fostex and get down pretty much what I want, then let the guys take it from there."
When asked if his current interest in the Fostex might eventually lead to some experiments in multiple-guitar parts, a la Hendrix' Rainbow Bridge rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner," Stevie Ray laughs and says, "I'll get there ... I gotta figure out how to run this thing first."
For the young crowds flocking to see this new Texas sensation, Stevie Ray is providing a vital link to something they missed out on. He's carrying on the Hendrix legacy. Maybe these kids have seen pictures of Jimi and they may have attended midnight screenings of Monterey Pop or Woodstock or Jimi Plays Berkeley.
They certainly have purchased his records. But they never saw the late guitar hero in the flesh. They never felt the sheer electricity that Jimi could generate. But now they can get those vicarious thrills through Stevie Ray. His reverence for Hendrix becomes all the more obvious when you see him in action. His renditions of "Voodoo Chile (Slight Return)" and his extended jam on Jimi's freaked-out classic, "Third Stone From the Sun," are so emotionally charged and infused with the raw spirit of Hendrix that it makes your pulse quicken.

Updated on 2 July 2012
Malarial burden has increased both globally and in India due to the resistance developed to anti-malarial medicine
The current anti-malarial market in India is approximately $80 million (Rs 450 crore) with an annual growth rate of 17 percent, says a report by ORG IMS in Nov 2011. According to statistics available with the directorate of National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP), close to 12 lakh cases of malaria have been reported in India till December 2011. Out of them, 436 have been cases of deaths.
Around 50 percent (6.4 lakh cases) were caused by the single-celled parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Increasing drug resistance is a possible cause for the continued rise in cases of P. falciparum caused malaria in recent years, gradually increasing from 39 percent in 1995 to above 50 percent in 2008.
With P. falciparum, which causes the most dangerous forms of the disease, becoming resistant to the drug chloroquine, Artemisinin-based treatments have become popular. Globally, the number of courses of Artemisinin-based therapies (ACT) procured by the public sector jumped nearly seven-fold between 2005 and 2006, and then more than doubled, reaching 181 million, in 2010, according to the World Malaria Report 2011. The demand for these drugs was around 287 million treatments in 2011 and is expected to touch 295 million courses in 2012.
Resistance causes worry
The malarial burden has increased both globally and in India due to the resistance developed to anti-malarial medicine used so far. For instance, child mortality in Africa increased as P. falciparum strains that were resistant to chloroquine spread in the continent in the 1970s and the 1980s. Raising an important issue of possible artemisinin resistance, Dr Virander S Chauhan, director, International Centre for Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology (ICGEB), says, "There have been reports of resistance in Cambodia, Thailand and, if it reaches Burma and the Northeastern part of India, then things can get very messy."

Janesville squad car struck by suspected drunken driver
Police officer escapes injury
TOWN OF BELOIT, Wis. - A Janesville police officer escaped injury when a suspected drunken driver intentionally crashed into the officer's squad car, according to the Rock County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators said town of Beloit police were dispatched to South Afton Road south of West County Road Q at 1:10 a.m. Monday for a report of a hit-and-run crash. Police said they found that a car had struck a telephone pole and fled, leaving a bumper and license plate at the scene.
Janesville police and Rock County Sheriff's deputies were called to help find the car.
A Janesville police officer found the car traveling north on South River Road under the Highway 11 bypass. According to deputies, the officer pulled over to attempt to turn around on the car as it passed him and was sideswiped when the car crossed the centerline toward the squad car. Deputies said the officer drove off the road completely but was unable to avoid a collision.
There was minor damage to the squad car and the officer wasn't injured.
Pablo Cruz-Ramirez, 21, of Beloit was taken to Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center as a precaution, but deputies said he didn't appear to have any injuries.
Deputies said they could smell a strong odor of intoxicants on Cruz-Ramirez, and he refused chemical testing or field sobriety testing.
Investigators said they determined Cruz-Ramirez purposely drove toward the squad car with the intent to crash into it.
Cruz-Ramirez was arrested on suspicion of first-degree recklessly endangering safety and was cited on suspicion of first-offense operating while intoxicated, operating while suspended, having an open intoxicant in a vehicle, operating left of the center line and a seat belt violation. He will also face other citations from the town of Beloit related to the telephone pole crash.

Category: Crabs and Shrimp view all from this category
Description Carcinus maenas is a common littoral crab, and an important invasive species, listed among the 100 "world's worst alien invasive species". It is native to the north-east Atlantic Ocean and Baltic Sea, but has colonised similar habitats in Australia, South Africa, South America and both Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America. It grows to a carapace width of 90 millimetres (3.5 in), and feeds on a variety of molluscs, worms and small crustaceans, potentially impacting a number of fisheries. Its successful dispersion has occurred via a variety of mechanisms, such as on ships' hulls, packing materials, bivalves moved for aquaculture, and rafting.
C. maenas is known by different names around the world. In the British Isles, it is generally referred to simply as the shore crab. In North America and South Africa, it bears the name green crab or European green crab. In Australia and New Zealand, it is referred to as either the European green crab or European shore crab.
Habitat Rocks, Piers, driftwood & pilings, Mud flats, Salt marshes & estuaries, Tidepools.
Range Eastern Canada, New England, Mid-Atlantic.

After Landing at Cainfield airport, a tiny airport which can only take small aircrafts because of the length of the runway, all of the passengers including myself waited for approximately 15 mins before an immigration officer arrived. Apparently they forgot that a flight was coming in during that hour. I hired a taxi from the airport to Goodwill (where I stayed with my aunt) and as I was jumping in the car so did another woman which I later learned was my driver's girlfriend
Dominica is situated between two French islands, Martinique and Guadeloupe. It was fought over by the French and the English so as you go through Roseau the architecture shows strong French influence. Many people, especially older natives speak French Patios called Kweyol however English is the official language. Tropical forest coats two thirds of the island and the island also has 365 rivers...one for each day!
As the title suggests, part of the purpose of this trip was for business. Within 2 hours of landed I had finished a meeting and had the rest of the day to relax and explore. On my first night I went with some cousins to a get together. The first drink that I had, a creamy alcholic drink did it for me so unfortunately I didn't take any pictures as I was sleepy after that drink.
The next day, the Thursday, I can hardly remember what I did. I know that I had a late start and spent the morning watching British programmes on BBC America (it's good to see something familiar). When the temperature went down considerably in the evening (i.e. approximately 26 degrees) I went for a walk around Roseau, Dominica's capital and then made my way to my cousin's flat on the river side for dinner and a long but productive meeting
Friday was a great but a long day. I woke up at around 8 am, had a breakfast of papaya (paw paw) and mangoes. I stayed with my aunt who usually left for work before I emerged from bed but she left a supply of fruit for me every morning...thanks Aunty Myrts!! I got ready for my last meeting. It was supposed to have been a short one but went on a lot longer than planned. It was VERY SUCCESSFUL and right now I am still happy that things are moving...hurray!!! After the meeting I had lunch with my cousins Irwin, Andrea and Noah and then we went sight seeing. We went to the Victoria Falls but since I could spend a whole page describing that I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
On Friday night after such a long day I hit the road. Donna, if you read this please tell Malcom that I found a Red Bull in Dominica (not that easy to find either). So I had a Red Bull and then hit the road. My cousin Aurie was supposed to come to Happy Hour at the Fort Young Hotel but instead she put Vanessa in charge of me. Woweee she can PARTY!!! I had the leathal rum punch at Fort Young Hotel (please remember that I had a Red Bull shortly before I started). We left Fort Young at 11pm and headed further south to a bar on the Road to Point Michelle. I danced till I was soaking
I was up by 9am on Saturday and ready to roll by 11am. Before heading to the airport I had some more business to take care of. It was hard work but I'm satisfied at what was achieved. I can't be bothered to do a blog for my next 2 stops. I went to Antigua for a couple hours. The flight was delayed so I got to do some business. Had a short stop in St Vincent and now I'm back in Grenada.
Hope that you enjoy the pics!

Shares of security technology vendor Fortinet (FTNT) are up 79 cents, or 3.7%, at $22.20, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported Q4 revenue and earnings per share higher than analysts were expecting, and forecast this quarter's revenue higher as well.
Revenue in the three months ended in December rose 17%, year over year, to $177.4 million, yielding EPS of 15 cents.
Analysts had been modeling $166 million and 14 cents.
CEO Ken Xie called the results "a strong finish to 2013," stating the quarter reflected global demand for Fortinet's product, and "improved execution," as well as "leverage" from prior investments in sales and marketing.
On a conference call following the report, the company forecast current quarter revenue in a range of $155 million to $159 million, and EPS of 8 cents to 12 cents. That compares to the average estimate of analysts of $155 million and 12 cents.

Good Deeds, Good Science: IAmScience Kickstarter
|Kevin Zelnio, husband, father, musician, scientist, human.
As someone who is not only into science, but also doesscience, I was over the moon to see the #IAmScience hashtag in my tweet stream on the evening of January 26th, 2012. This is because, like hundreds, if not thousands, of others, my trajectory into science did not necessarily follow the stereotypical blueprint associated with becoming a scientist. Furthermore, and quite frankly, I am sick of what people think scientists shouldlook and act like.

I've said in previous blogs that I'm a sucker for small towns. And sometimes I forget just how much these farm-and-field, off-Interstate stops comfort me, but fresh off a trip to my small hometown of Glen St. Mary (North Florida), it's back in my head. Now before you say it, I get it… pine-dotted North Florida hardly conjures the charmed images of storied fishing villages of rural Maine, mountain towns of North Carolina, or the All-American towns of the Midwest. But we've got the ingredients just the same: dirt roads, Main Street, weathered farmhouses (photo above is the house I was born in, circa 1970s--I'd say it looked a little shinier when I lived there, but...), and friendly, familiar faces.
For me, there's just something about getting out of town. And by town, I mean city. Maybe it's because no matter where I go, I love to watch the way people live. What home looks like, how certain neighborhoods feel and who lives in them, what weekends sound like. And my hometown may be small, but there's LOTS to notice. Like how many people spend evenings in a chair on the porch. Or how everyone tends to their own yards out there. Or how houses don't have to match, and most don't.
As for how I live when I'm out there? I push kids on tree swings, sleep with the windows open, walk 10 minutes to the end of the drive to get the paper (as opposed to tripping over it outside my door downtown), walk the railroad tracks up to the store, and oversee the removal of uninvited guests from Easter egg hunting grounds (rogue black snake).
Today, I was fishing for photos of Glen St. Mary online and came across a gold mine. I found a site full of photos of our 1981 centennial (I was seven years old). I won't post it, but you could easily find it if it interests you. The point is, this one site spoke volumes about the town I grew up in. How people live, how neighborhoods feel, what weekends sound like. I mean, the fact that the ENTIRE TOWN dressed up in late 1800s attire (the costumes no doubt made on home sewing machines--I remember Mom making ours) to commemorate the town's birthday speaks volumes about where I grew up. A parade, a dance, a party—all to celebrate a town no bigger than a thousand or so (if that). It's a good way to live—with and without the costumes.

It is still very cold this morning but at least the horrible wind has dropped.
Jai's nephew Tia comes mid-morning with some people who want to buy some trees from Jai. We take them out to the farm where they make a provisional selection of 10 trees at about 40GBP. They willcome and cut them and cart them off sometime in the new year.
We have been having problems with the shower not heating water all of the time so I strip it down and redo all of the electrics. Strangely Jai thinks that the problem is down to my poor workmanship and she gets an electrician to comeand check up on me. He givesme the approval that my work is fine but ... He is ableto read the instruction booklet that came with the shower which states that it has a built in cut out for the heater when the water pressure dropsto a certain level
Jai's son Boy and his wife are home from Bangkok for a few days holiday to visit Norng Fin and pop in to see us for a bit.
I am feeling a bit sluggish after last nights beer and with a long night ahead of us I stretch out for a few hours rest.
I am sitting in the sun to keep warm whilst Jai prepares some food when Deu from the next door calls me round for a beer again. His wife and family have gone visiting in Roi Et but he didnt fancy it and is home alone. I spend an hour with him before we eat and then bike over to Pak Chong again.
John and Erm are having the party at their new farm and not their house so it is lucky that last night's wind has gone. Far too much beer is drank as the night drags on but shortly before the midnight hour I get the rare, perhaps unique, opportunity to meet a real life Hobbit. Now a lot of people arent going to believe this but it has to be true. I have since checked the internet for a description of a Hobbit and he fitted the bill perfectly; "Hobbits are three and a half feet tall, normally, with heads of thick curly hair, and large hairy feet. They love to wear bright colors, expecially green and yellow (or red) and are usually a bit on the plump side. they also like to to eat mushrooms and won't share there mushrooms to any other hobits. they also live in small burrows and live in the centre of the world." We sat chatting for ages, me in English and him in Thai/Laos/Westron or Common Tongue.
We should never have taken the bike back to Khamnadie and needed the full width of the road to wander around on during the 15mins trip.

David Festa is an expert on ecosystem resilience and has a long track record of bringing diverse stakeholders together to meet growing needs for food, water and infrastructure in ways that improve the environment and benefit the economy. As senior vice president of the Ecosystems Program, David oversees EDF's market and policy work to:
- Reverse habitat loss on working lands
- Eliminate fertilizer pollution as a major agricultural problem
- Revitalize working rivers and their ability to provide resilient water supply
- Restore coastal ecosystems to protect communities from rising sea level and extreme weather.
Prior to leading the Ecosystems program, David headed up the Oceans program, where he ignited a sea change in the way fisheries are managed by winning approval for an incentives-based system called catch shares. Today 65 percent of the fish caught in U.S. water is managed sustainably under the innovative system. David launched and still serves as president of The California Fisheries Fund, a $4 million revolving loan fund that invests in sustainable fishing.
David joined EDF in 2003, and is a member of EDF's executive team.
