RSL's First-ever Visit to League's Summit Puts Defending Champs Even with Los Angeles and Columbus on 44 Points;
League-best 12th Clean Sheet of the Season Lengthens RSL's Shutout Streak to 442 Minutes
SANDY, Utah (Thursday, September 9, 2010) – Another stout defensive effort by Real Salt Lake (12-4-8, 44 pts.) allowed the defending MLS Cup champions to wring a hard-fought road point from a 0-0 draw with Seattle Sounders FC (9-9-6, 33 pts.) in front of 36,078 at Qwest Field. In RSL's first visit back to Seattle since last November's championship triumph, the visitors continued their record-setting defensive pace, the team collecting its 12th shutout of the season despite missing four regular starters due to injury or suspension. With the point, Real Salt Lake climbed into a tie atop the overall MLS standings alongside the Los Angeles Galaxy and Columbus Crew on 44 points.
Real Salt Lake Match Notes
- This marks the first time in Real Salt Lake's six-year
history in which the Utah side has had at least a share of the League's
top spot. The stay at the summit will be short-lived, however, as the
co-leading Crew and Galaxy will square off head-to-head this Saturday
night at The Home Depot Center.
- The draw also marked the 18th time in RSL's last 19 League contests in which it has claimed at least a point, the defending champs going 11-1-7 since May 1 after a 1-3-1 start to the season.
- Tonight marked the MLS debut for DF Chris Schuler, who played a standout 90 minutes next to Nat Borchers in place of Jamison Olave, who missed his first game of the year due to disciplinary reasons (caution accumulation). The rookie out of Creighton had previously played only 62 minutes in an RSL uniform during RSL's 1-2 (AET) defeat at D.C. United in Lamar Hunt U.S. Open qualifying action on June 2.
- The match also marked just the second career start in League play for GK Kyle Reynish, who stepped in for regular starter Nick Rimando, who sat out due to a slight Achilles strain. The shutout was the first in professional action for the fourth-year pro and former national champion out of UC Santa Barbara. On the injury front, Real Salt Lake was also without FW Fabian Espíndola (L hamstring strain) and MF Ned Grabavoy (R knee ligament strain).
- With its 12th clean sheet of the season, Real Salt Lake pushed its current shutout streak to 442 minutes, which now stands as the third longest in MLS play this season. The Utah side also possesses the longest such streak of the 2010 campaign, its 567-minute stretch from May 29 (v. KC) through July 17 (@ DAL) also ranking as the third longest such run in League history. Reynish began the streak in his MLS debut back on August 11 with 82 scoreless minutes after allowing an 8th minute goal at Philadelphia in an eventual 1-1 draw at PPL Park.
- In partnership with Real Salt Lake's shutout streaks is the team's record-setting goals against pace. After allowing just 16 goals in 24 League contests, the RSL's subsequent 0.67 GAA is well below the record of 0.77 set by the 2007 Houston Dynamo. In addition, despite tonight's zero on the offensive end of the field, RSL's 1.54 goals scored average still ranks tops in MLS this season.
- The road point moved RSL's away record on the season to 3-4-5, the 14 points counting as the most on the road during a single-season. RSL will have three more chances to improve upon that mark with League away matches remaining at New England (Oct. 2), New York (Oct. 9), and Colorado (Oct. 23).
- Seattle GK Kasey Keller's save on Findley's penalty kick in the 32nd minute marked the first PK miss in regulation play for RSL since May 31, 2008 vs. San Jose (Morales), snapping an 8-for-8 streak across all competitions.

Jason Kreis - RSL Head Coach
(On coming away with a draw in the match....) "I'm thrilled for more reasons than just the result. The guys put in great effort tonight and the attention to detail was amazing. The commitment level was just second to none."
(On the play of Kyle Reynish and Chris Schuler...) "Just amazing, in my opinion they were in the right position to make plays for our team. We have been really patient with Chris and have taken our time with him. He stepped into arguably one of the most difficult places in the entire league and just didn't put a foot wrong. He has so much personality and competitive fire."
(On Robbie Findley pressing too much...) "I think he is a confident player. I have to give credit to the guys for having him take the penalty. We have a real family spirit and gave him the opportunity to score. To watch two or three of our guys go grab him after he misses and let him know it is ok; that for me is special stuff."
Kyle Beckerman - RSL Midfielder
(On his thoughts on tonight match...) "This is a tough place to play; now they are getting desperate with the playoffs. They are really attacking with everything they have. We were able to match their intensity and knew that at the 75th minute we could get out of here with a draw."
Robbie Findley - RSL Forward
(On missing the penalty kick . . .) "I was taken down in the box and stepped up to take the shot. I didn't hit it that well and he made a good save. Nothing more than that really."
Sigi Schmid - Sounders FC Head Coach
(On the game) "I think we battled and we fought, but I don't think we played great soccer tonight so it was a little disappointing from that regard because I know we have more in us. For whatever reason all of our passing was disjointed and we didn't click in that regard. I'm still proud of the fact that we've played what's probably the best team in the league twice now and have tied them twice. But I know we're capable of better soccer and I don't think we played as well tonight as we could have."
(On Kasey Keller's game) "Kasey Keller made a great save on the penalty. It probably was a PK because he [Parke] probably did get a piece of him in the box, but we thought the ball was out of bounds before it ever got there. At the end of the day, Keller came up with a great save and it was probably justified because I don't know if they deserved it 100 percent for sure. He came up with a big save there and it garnered us a point tonight."
(On RSL starting Kyle Reynish in goal and putting pressure on him) "With any keeper, you just have to put shots on goal. [Kyle] Reynish did well, but I don't think we put enough things on goal to really test him often enough. Ossie [Alonso] did a couple of times on some shots, but there was nothing clean that I felt really put him under pressure. He did well. And we find out about that when the lineups are exchanged so when we put the lineups for the guys, they knew then."
(On Alonso's long-distance attempts on goal) "When he has a clean look, it's perfectly fine. He had the one that the goalkeeper had to make the save on and then the one that he just barely put over. If we're forcing it, sometimes it's not good. When he gets clean looks, he strikes the ball fairly well."
(On not getting as many shots on goal as of late) "Our movement just hasn't been as good as it could be. There are times when we're mis-hitting clearances. Our passing out of the back was not real good tonight - I think we missed James Riley a little bit there because he helps us with that. But also the passing from our other defenders wasn't as sharp. Our hold-up play wasn't as good. I think that's one thing that (Blaise) Nkufo adds to our team - he's able to hold the ball up for us and that allows people to get into attacking positions. It's the same thing on a different scale that (Javier) Morales or (Alvaro) Saborio does for them. Nate Jaqua battled hard, but didn't necessarily hold up the ball for us. It's not that we're eons away from where we need to be - we're very close."
(On Fredy Montero not having as much an impact the last few games) "His success is a reflection of how our team's playing as well. I thought he worked very hard and he battled. I think sometimes what happens is he gets frustrated and tries to maybe do too much at times, but it's because he's trying to help the team. He really wants to help the team in that regard. Again, hold up play next to him is important because that allows him to get into good positions and our passing is important to him. So he thrives off the team just as the team thrives off of him."
(On the approach to upcoming Champions League matches) "As far as I know, we have zero points. There are a couple of teams with three and there's one team that has six and if that team with six wins their game and we win our game then you've got three teams with three so I think that would put us right in the thick of it. So we have to be smart and we're going to try and put our best lineup out there for each game. We'll base our lineup on injuries, fitness and everything and the same thing when we go to play Columbus - every time we step on the field we want to win. We don't want to do anything less than win."
(On any update on Blaise Nkufo's condition) "He seems to feel better, but we have to see how he does Saturday in training."
(On Osvaldo Alonso's play) "I thought Ossie's play was good. He covers and fills a lot of gaps for us at midfield. I thought he did a pretty good job of containing [Javier] Morales. I don't think Morales did a whole lot to hurt us tonight so I thought he did a good job there. Defensively we were okay with a couple of exceptions. Even though they knocked the ball around, it wasn't where they were penetrating a lot. There were a couple that were close, a couple that ... offsides, not offsides, but overall I thought we were okay. It was when we transitioned and the ball turned over to us, I don't think we did a good enough job of keeping it and as a result that made us defend more than we should have."
(On being surprised about the amount of whistles) "Tonight, with whistles, nothing surprised me."
(On the team's passing and possession play . . .) "We just have to work on that part of our game. That was the reason we brought in [Mike] Fucito. Even though he's a smaller stature player, he does a good job of keeping the ball and connecting. He laid a couple of good balls out to [Steve] Zakuani and got him involved, and actually had a very good shot himself. We just have to work on that aspect. The problem with the games is you really don't get any time to train so you're going from game to game and you have to talk about it then hope they understand it from talking about it."
Kasey Keller - Sounders FC Goalkeeper
(On his save on the penalty kick attempt . . .) "I mean, penalty saves are penalty saves. You just hope you go the right way. You hope he puts it somewhere where you can save it and today he did that, which was nice. It was great to be able to come up with that save at that time. I would love to see it on replay because I thought he went down pretty easily. In the end, it didn't hurt us so that is good."
(On the home crowd . . .) "There's going to be far more years when they don't chant my name so it's nice when they do. The most important thing was getting away with this game. It was one of those games where they came here to get at least one point and if they got something more then they were very happy about that. I thought the first 10 or 15 minutes we were tremendous and then we kind of didn't quite play as well after that. But some guys really stepped up. Ossie [Osvaldo Alonso] continued to play great. Zach Scott came in for James [Riley] and did a tremendous job. We are doing OK. We are frustrated. Sure. We want to win every time we step on this field. But people have to understand that teams are going to come here and really make it difficult for us because they respect what we have done here and what this crowd is like. Like I said, we could've gotten a little more today but it's definitely not the end of the world."
(On stopping penalty kicks . . .) "You can do whatever but in the end if you can come up with a few saves at the right time then great, maybe make them miss a couple. Great. But you got to understand that more often than not they are going to score. That's just the way it is."
Jeff Parke - Sounders FC Defender
(On the penalty . . .) "It was a good play by him [Robbie Findley] and a dumb play by me. I shouldn't have lunged in like that. I should've just kept him outside and my mistake."
(On Kasey Keller saving the penalty kick attempt . . .) "It was great. It definitely kept the game obviously with a tie for us. It lifts you, gets you back on track. A goal there and it's difficult to get back in but he did a great job saving it and kept us in the game."
(On the match . . .) "It was good. They are a good team. I think they are the best team that I have played against this year, just on movement and just players-wise they know where each other is supposed to be. They are always playing balls into the forwards feet and guys playing off and they are always moving. They are a tough team. On our part, I didn't think we played to our best. We weren't that sharp. Obviously there were some clearances that I should've done better with but for the most part we edged out a result and that's alright."
(On holding RSL scoreless . . .) "It's good. Obviously the PK was frustrating. As a team, I think we played good enough to keep them out of the net. I don't think they had too many good chances. After giving up three crappy goals last week, to give up none this week is good."
(On the result . . .) "You feel like you got something but it's frustrating because obviously we need points. Every time you get a tie you give space for other teams to gain on you. It's frustrating because we are at home and we want to win at home. There was only seven games, now six left, so we need to get some good results and buckle down because we have a big road trip coming up and then another road game against a tough team in Columbus.
Mike Fucito - Sounders FC Forward
(On playing at Qwest Field . . .) "It felt great. I love playing here. I love the fans. It's been a long time. That was the first time I got somewhat significant minutes. I think my fitness is coming along and I would like to hopefully start banging away some goals again."

America's Secret Slang
S2 | E7 | Airdate: 07/26/2014
In this episode, we look at the ways that American English has been transformed by American presidents, by the language of sex and romance, by good and bad manners. We'll also explore how easy it is to insult people of different groups without even realizing it. Did you know who invented the phrase Founding Fathers, and what the Founding Fathers originally called themselves? Or how American presidents popularized terms like "three martini lunch," "lunatic fringe" and "keep the ball rolling?" When it comes to insults, did you know that the cheer "hip hip hurray" was originally anti-Semitic, "hooligan" was anti-Irish, and the phrase "in cahoots" was anti-French? When it comes to sex, how did a diet of meat give us the word "mating," why do young men "sow their wild oats," and why is the word "hysterical" an insult to women? And when it comes to manners, we'll explore the strange roots of words like "posh," "snob," "stuck up" and even "hello" and "goodbye.

Generating transgenic plants is key to the introduction of new crop traits and carrying out gene studies, both in discovery and applied settings. The development of genetically modified plants often requires a complex design of DNA elements to achieve optimum expression. Based on Xanthomonas effector proteins, GeneArt™ TALs are custom DNA-binding proteins that allow you to accurately target any locus in the genome. TAL effector technology has been shown to be effective in a broad range of organisms, including plants, algae, and fungi. The first of their kind, GeneArt Precision TALs are ideal for plant research scientists, offering research-use access with licensing for commercial use through the Two Blades Foundation.
Every plant genome locus is within your reach
TALENs derived from Xanthomonas, a genus of plant pathogens. The pathogen specifically recognizes DNA of the host with a protein containing 17–18 repeats of approximately 34 amino acids each. The nucleotide specificity is conferred by amino acids 12 and 13 within each repeat. Each nucleotide in the target DNA is recognized by one repeat, and this 1-to-1 relationship can be used to specifically target any locus in the genome.

DURHAM — The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing a case this week that could change admissions practices at colleges and universities across the country, but its consequences are likely to be minimal in New Hampshire.
The Supreme Court is once again considering the issue of whether school admissions officers should take race into account when they make decisions about prospective students.
In its last two major affirmative action decisions, in 1978 and 2003, the court essentially took universities at their word when they argued it's impossible to achieve adequate racial diversity without factoring race into admissions.
The issue was brought before the court once again Wednesday in a case that pits the University of Texas against a white college applicant who was rejected by the school in 2008. The outcome of the case could have far-reaching effects, including new limits on affirmative action.
University of New Hampshire Admissions Director Robert McGann said Wednesday it's unlikely the case will have an impact on admissions at UNH, since an existing state law bans the school from considering race in admissions. New Hampshire is one of seven states that have banned racial preferences in admissions outright. The others are Washington, Michigan, Nebraska, Arizona, California and Florida.
"We're in essence prohibited from considering race overtly in the admissions process," said McGann, who is also the school's assistant vice president for student and academic services.
In two other states, Texas and Georgia, leading public universities use a race-neutral system. However, the University of Texas has maintained some use of affirmative action, and it's that policy at UT that's now before the Supreme Court.
On Wednesday, the court's conservatives cast doubt on the program, which uses race as one among many factors in admitting about a quarter of the university's incoming freshmen. The liberal justices appeared more supportive of the effort.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose vote could be decisive, looked skeptically on Texas' defense of the program. "What you're saying is what counts is race above all," Kennedy said. He has never voted in favor of an affirmative action program but has voiced support for diversity in education.
The university says the program is necessary to provide the kind of diverse educational experience the high court has previously endorsed. Along with race, the university considers community service, work experience, extracurricular activities, awards and other factors as it seeks to fill out its incoming classes. The bulk of its slots go to students who are admitted based on their high school class rank, without regard to race.
Opponents of the program say the university is practicing illegal discrimination by considering race at all, especially since the school achieves significant diversity through its race-blind admissions.
McGann said most school admissions officers in the country agree race and ethnicity should be considered in admissions decisions because students of different backgrounds have unequal opportunities. The country has pockets in which poverty is heavily concentrated in minority communities, McGann said, leading to an increase in the number of students per classroom in those communities and a decrease in services.
"Despite efforts made in this country over the last 40 or 50 years, educational inequalities continue to exist, and they manifest themselves in a variety of ways," he said.
McGann said schools also find a "real educational value and benefit" from having diverse campuses. Research shows students benefit from learning in environments where multiple perspectives and experiences are represented, he said.
At UNH, about 8 percent of students are members of racial and ethnic minorities recognized by the federal government as being underrepresented on school campuses. McGann said although the school cannot admit students using race as a factor, it does work with high schools and community organizations to encourage all students to look at UNH seriously. The school can also target students whose parents have not attended college with literature about UNH.
"I think there might be some very dramatic and unintended consequences for other states if the Supreme Court declines to support using race as a factor in admission," McGann said.
Foster's Daily Democrat staff writer Jim Haddadin contributed to this report.
Court case on affirmative action to have minimal impact in N.H.

How do you stay connected to Parsons?
As a teacher! After I graduated from the BFA Illustration program in 2005, I had an opportunity
to teach an animation class at the Parsons
Pre-College Academy, and I loved it. When I see my
students get excited about animation, it thrills me!
Also, I participate in Career Services alumni panels
and speak to students about entrepreneurship,
freelancing, and choosing a major.
How do you maintain your creative voice and still meet clients' requests?
I had teachers at
Parsons who encouraged us to focus on the artistic
side and develop our voices. I decided to become
the creative director of a company to have maximum
input into projects. Now I run Tiny Inventions with
my husband, which allows me to express my artistic
vision. Having a company also gives us the flexibility
to take time off to concentrate on our own art.
Can you describe a project that you have done for a client?
One of our first projects was
a music video for They Might Be Giants. They gave us
a song, and we developed style frames—illustrations
showing how we wanted to approach the video.
After the band reviewed the style frames, we made
revisions and created a storyboard. Working with
They Might Be Giants allowed us to develop our own
style; since they're also artists, they gave us
creative freedom.

Final Fantasy III (iPad)
Published by
Developed by
Also For
DescriptionIn 2006, Final Fantasy III reached North American shores in an official update/remake for the Nintendo DS, finally bringing all of the main Final Fantasy entries to the United States for the first time.
Raised as an orphan by Nina and Elder Topapa in the village of Ur, Luneth, his shy friend Arc, the rebellious Refia and the brave soldier Ingus are chosen as the Four Warriors of Light to send to restore balance to the crystals, and save the world from imminent destruction.
Taking the original game which debuted on the NES, Square-Enix had updated the title with a new cinematic intro, improved graphics and a touch-screen interface to move characters and utilize selection menus. There is also Moogle Mail, a Wi-Fi feature that allows players to send messages to each other via their DS systems. The game has also some revised story elements, detailing the adventures of four friends who find each other, each with new backstories.
Final Fantasy III is a traditional turn-based RPG, which were popular back in the '80s and '90s, but introduced refinements to the genre, such as smarter battle AI. Final Fantasy III is also known for two major milestones in the history of the series: Its introduction of the cheerful Moogles, as well as the introduction of the job system, allowing characters to switch professions throughout the game for new abilities.

Murder Map in New York Times shows Chicago Teachers Union was right about tale of two cities
How is it possible that a map showing where Chicago's murders take place is uncannily similar to a map showing where the Chicago Board of Education has scapegoated and closed inner city public schools since Arne Duncan began the so-called "renaissance" in 2004? And yet it is true. The destabilization of Chicago communities, denounced for more than a decade by community activists and teachers (and reported almost exclusively in Substance) has been one of the main causes why in 2012 Chicago had more murders than New York City. The situation had gotten so that even The New York Times had to report -- on the murders, not on the corporate "school reform" policies that had helped fuel them.
The New York Times opened the new year with a front page story about Chicago's murders. The story, which among other things noted that Chicago had more murders in 2012 than New York City, which has three times as many people. Inside the New York Times story was one of the most striking graphics ever published. In both the map and the story, the nation's "newspaper of record" noted that Chicago was two cities -- the world class city that Rahm Emanuel works in, surrounded by millionaires and billionaires, and the second city, where the majority of the people, mostly black and brown, live in some of the most dramatic poverty anywhere on earth.
The above map appears in the Chicago Teachers Union report "Black and White..." published in November 2012. On January 3, 2013, The New York Times published a map of Chicago murders, accompanying an article about the fact that despite the corporate propaganda coming from the city's corporate media, half of Chicago is one of the deadliest places in the USA. The map that shows the deepest concentration of school closings and charter school openings during the past 13 years could also be the map that shows the most dramatic murder rates in Chicago during the same years. Although The New York Times mapped the murders in Chicago on a map that shows almost the same density outlines as the map above, the map above shows where the Chicago Board of Education has closed real public schools and opened privately managed and unregulated charter schools, mostly in the city's black and brown communities. The destabilization of the communities has been one of the reasons why community violence has increased. The increase in violence has been predicted since the beginning of the school closings under Arne Duncan in 2004, but until recently the violence to the communities by the closing of so-called "failing" schools has been ignored by the plutocracy that rules Chicago and by the city's corporate media. One of the reasons for the Chicago Teachers Strike of 2012 and the battles that are growing between the teachers and their allies, on the one hand, and the plutocrats and their mayor, on the other, is the recognition that these two cities need to become one, and that the people who own and rule the city, for now, have to stop neglecting the majority of the city's people -- especially the children -- and blaming the city'steachers for the apartheid which has been created by the USA.
The findings of fact reported in the Times story are simple. Chicago is a "Tale of Two Cities." No publicity stunts by the city's mayor or propaganda assaults by the largest public relations teams anywhere (dozens at City Hall; another two dozen at the school board; all dedicated to burnishing the image of Rahm Emanuel) can hide the facts when someone actually goes across Chicago and reports the facts. "But the overall rise in killings here blurs another truth," the Times reported, "the homicides, most of which the authorities described as gang-against-gang shootings, have not been spread evenly across this city. Instead, they have mostly taken place in neighborhoods west and south of Chicago's gleaming downtown towers."
Whether the take on Chicago that appeared on the front page of The New York Times will change the official narrative about Chicago remains to be seen. But the teachers have already spoken, and the research being provided to the nation through the corporate media.

In a Soaring Homicide Rate, a Divide in Chicago, by Monica Davey
Published in the print edition of The New York Times January 2, 2013 By MONICA DAVEY Published: January 2, 2013
CHICAGO — This city's 471st homicide of 2012 happened in the middle of the day, in the middle of a crowd, on the steps of the church where the victim of homicide 463 was being eulogized. Sherman Miller, who was 21, collapsed amid gunfire not far from the idling hearse that was there to carry away James Holman, 32, shot to death a week earlier.
Corporate rule over Chicago's public schools has been growing since mayoral control began in 1995, but under Mayor Rahm Emanuel there has been no pretext of democracy. The members of the Board of Education and the top staffers at Chicago Public Schools are all millionaires and billionaire plutocrats with no qualifications to govern the nation's third largest school system. Above, at the November 16, 2012 meeting of the Chicago Board of Education, billionaire Penny Pritzker (left), a member of the school board appointed by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, talks with millionaire Peter Rodgers, who had just been appointed "Chief Financial Officer" of the nation's third largest school system. Prior to being hired as an educator Rodgers was Chief Executive Officer of Diners Club. There has been no public discussion of the executive appointments at CPS since Emanuel took over. Substance photo by George N. Schmidt.The funeral shooting at St. Columbanus Catholic Church on the South Side left neighbors fretting that no place, not even a church, felt safe any longer. "It's become the Wild Wild West," said Charles Childs Jr., who had watched from across the street as mourners screamed and scattered.
The shooting, on Nov. 26, was one more jarring reminder of just how common killings seem to have grown on the streets of Chicago, the nation's third-largest city, where 506 homicides were reported in 2012, a 16 percent increase over the year before, even as the number of killings remained relatively steady or dropped in some cities, including New York.
But the overall rise in killings here blurs another truth: the homicides, most of which the authorities described as gang-against-gang shootings, have not been spread evenly across this city. Instead, they have mostly taken place in neighborhoods west and south of Chicago's gleaming downtown towers.
Already, 2013 began with three gun homicides on New Year's Day, two of them on the South Side. Like other cities, Chicago has long been a segregated place, richer and whiter on the North Side, and the city's troubling increase in killings has accentuated a longstanding divide.
"It's two different Chicagos," said the Rev. Corey B. Brooks Sr., the pastor of New Beginnings Church on the South Side, who had led the funeral service for Mr. Holman the day shots rang out, then found himself leading Mr. Miller's funeral service a week later. The authorities here have described both shootings as gang related. "If something like that had happened at the big cathedral in downtown Chicago or up north at a predominantly white church, it would still be on the news right now, it would be such a major thing going on."
More than 80 percent of the city's homicides took place last year in only about half of Chicago's 23 police districts, largely on the city's South and West Sides. The police district that includes parts of the business district downtown reported no killings at all. And while at least one police district on the city's northern edge saw a significant increase in the rate of killings, the total number there still was dwarfed by deaths in districts on the other sides of town, and particularly in certain neighborhoods.
The 53-page report "The Black and White of Education in Chicago's Public Schools -- Class, Charters & Chaos" was published in its final form on December 1, 2012, as Chicago was completing one of the most murderous years in the city's history. Largely ignored at first by the city's ruling plutocracy, the report found that by January 2013, the ruling class was catching up on at least part of the story. The destabilization of communities in the city's South and West side ghettos caused by the school closing policies (and the charter opening policies) that have been taking place since Arne Duncan was "Chief Executive Officer" of Chicago's public schools at the beginning of the 21st Century have helped destroy the last community fabric that was holding together many of the nation's poorest communities. The predictable result has been an increase in murder, among other things, in those communities. Meanwhile, the Chicago Plan is being spread across the USA by the Obama administration. Duncan has been U.S. Secretary of Education since 2009, and Obama's former Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, has been Chicago's mayor since 2011. Along the streets downtown and in neighborhoods on the North Side not far from Lake Michigan, some residents acknowledged that they had heard about a rise in the city's homicide rate, but said it had not affected their own sense of safety. "This area is a bit of a Garden of Eden," said Gwen Sylvain, as she walked dogs along a residential street not far from the Loop.
Others said they rarely had reason to go to the Chicago's South or West Sides, only a few miles away, and some longtime residents said they had never once ventured to such neighborhoods. Police business on the North Side rarely seems to rise beyond an overly enthusiastic Cubs fan or a parking quibble, said Kyong Lee, who said that in the past he had, without consequence, forgotten to lock up his family's shoe repair business.
In Back of the Yards, a South Side neighborhood near the city's old meatpacking district, the tenor was far different. Mothers spoke of keeping their children inside from the moment school ended, and businessmen of decisions to lock the front doors of their shops during business hours. "I don't go out at night," said Jesse Martinez, who recalled the gun pressed to his head as he was robbed a few years ago inside the hat and boot store he has run for 32 years.
Over all, crime in Chicago dropped 9 percent in 2012 from the year before in what city officials say was the largest decrease in 30 years. Among crimes that saw dips last year: rape, robbery and car theft. With the city's longtime gangs splintering into factions and increasing problems with retaliatory violence, homicides rose suddenly in the first three months of the year — running some 60 percent ahead of the year earlier — creating a pace that slowed significantly as the year went on.
City officials attributed the improvement to a broad anti-gang strategy that includes an elaborate police audit of gang members, removal of vacant buildings and efforts to involve neighbors. Some have called for increased gun control legislation; of 7,000 guns recovered by the Chicago police in recent months, handguns are most common, but 300 were assault weapons.
"A child shot is a child of the City of Chicago," Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who lives on the North Side, said in an interview in which he addressed the long-held divisions in a city known for its endless array of distinct neighborhoods on the North, South and West Sides. "Don't anybody think that it's 'over there,' " the mayor said. "It's a tear on this city."
No arrests have been made in the deaths of Mr. Holman or Mr. Miller, who died on the steps of the church that Al Capone's mother once attended regularly and where Barack Obama distributed food to the needy just after he was elected president in 2008. The authorities say three guns were believed to be present when Mr. Miller died. The police say Mr. Miller was carrying a gun. And bullet casings from two other weapons were found on the steps.
At Mr. Miller's funeral in December, a large contingent of Chicago police officers waited outside.
"It's gotten to the point, unfortunately, where something as significant as a funeral is subject to gang violence, and I can't even believe that we're having this conversation," Garry McCarthy, the police superintendent here, said in an interview. "I'm not willing to gamble that maybe they're not going to bring their guns this time."
Inside that funeral, at another church on the city's South Side, Mr. Brooks stood near Mr. Miller's coffin, recalling what had happened at the last funeral. "Ever since then," Mr. Brooks told Mr. Miller's mother, who sat before him, "my heart has been so torn."
As friends of the deceased stepped past his framed photograph to stand at a microphone, Mr. Brooks called for peace in the church, read out his own cellphone number (in case, he said, anyone needed it), and stopped one young man from launching into a rap, for fear, Mr. Brooks said later, of what new trouble that might stir.
In a corner of the church, a friend of Mr. Miller revealed text messages he had sent to her during Mr. Holman's funeral, minutes before he was shot: "dis preacher like he talkin straight to me," one of the messages read. "He talkin bout hurts and pain. I cant run from the pain cause its gone hurt me worse if I'm by myself because I gotta think about everything." In tears, she recalled how she had replied to the texts with questions, but Mr. Miller never responded.

The degree of segregation and income inequality in Chicago is unconscionable. But there is no way Chicago's poorest residents "live in some of the most dramatic poverty anywhere on earth." Not even close. You can't compare life in the ghettos of Chicago to life in the slums of Mumbai, the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, the subsistence farms of Namibia, the townships of Johannesburg or the garbage dumps of the Philippines. Hysterical exaggeration does not help make the case for Chicago's children.

In the Beginning
The story of football began sometime during the 19th century in England when a soccer player, frustrated at using only his feet to manipulate the ball, decided to simply pick it up and run with it. Although it was clearly against the rules of soccer, other players soon found the new way of playing soccer appealing and thus, the sport of rugby was born.
The new sport soon became a world-wide success that found its way into America by the mid-1800s. Played by many northeastern colleges, it was not long before Harvard University and Yale University met in Massachussetts in 1876 to formalize the rules to rugby that were similar to those in England. There were differences however: instead of playing with a round ball, the schools opted for an egg-shaped and the game's name was changed from rugby to football. To finalize the meeting, an organization called the Intercollegiate Football Association(IFA) was created to preside over the Americanized sport.
Football was still mainly American rugby–much different from the popular sport known today. Over the course of three years starting in 1880, Yale player Walter Camp eventually convinced the IFA to change a series of rules in football to create a game that is very similar today. For that, Camp is considered by historians as the father of modern football.
Nationalizing the Game
College football matured through the 1800's in a league of its own until the beginning of the twentieth century when professional football teams began appearing. By that time, college sports fell under the newly-established National College Atheletic Association(NCAA) so the rules of professional football were derived from the collegiate organization's guidelines.
When 1920 arrived, there more than 10 professional teams across the United States. Organizers from the teams decided to meet in Canton, Ohio to form the American Professional Football Association(APFA) which later became the National Football League(NFL). The NFL further changed the rules as football began to solidify as an all-American past time.
Becoming a Popular Sport in America
From the time of the NFL's establishment, football made head-way in popularity with the population. The games played by the Chicago Bears versus teams like the Los Angeles Tigers and the New York Giants featured Harold (Red) Grange, the fresh-out-of-college rookie star who helped draw record numbers of fans into the stands. After the NFL divided into two divisions, the culmination of the best teams from those sections played the first NFL championship game in 1933.
As football became a favorite with Americans, many leagues soon followed the NFL in trying to establish their own franchise. The NFL's dominance was so pervasive that many did not even last beyond four years. Under millionaire Lamar Hunt, however, the American Football League (AFL) was the only lasting follow-up league that was able to keep up with the NFL. Soon thereafter, both leagues fought to draft star college players, television contracts, and other perks generated from football's popularity with the NFL often besting the AFL most of the time.
In another historic moment in football history, representatives from both the NFL and the AFL met in 1966 to agree on merging both leagues, but keeping the NFL name. Within the new league which actually began in 1970, two conferences were created that reflected the NFL's origins: the American Football Conference (AFC) and the National Football Conference(NFC). From then on, those two sides of the NFL were to play its best teams in a championship game later named the Super Bowl starting with the champions from the NFL and the AFL.
Football Presently
One of the top sports in America, football has come a long way from the rebelling college students who want to play something that was more fun. With the introduction of the television which greatly increased football's accessibility to more parts of the United States and the merger of the NFL and the AFL, football would become the most-watched television show as well as being very profitable. The titanic flood of fan interest generated billions of dollars by the 1990s for the profession which eventually trickled down to the players' salaries.
If change was how football began, it is change that has kept the sport's popularity high. Continually, the rules governing football have evolved throughout the years to generate fan interest. For example, newly enacted rules in the 1970s that promoted the risky throwing of the ball as opposed to running with it. In 1994, a greater emphasis was drawn from field goals to the two-point conversion. Completing the full circle, modern football still places fun as its top priority.

Conservation and Environment in Costa Rica: Monthly Updates
Conservation in Costa Rica - Monthly Update May 2009
After such busy months since January we honestly expected May to be a time where we could all relax a little and take stock of the start of our first solid year here in the park, but even though we had times with only 1 volunteer we managed to keep pushing forward and managed to make some big break-throughs!
As mentioned last month the work on our nursery garden is starting to pay off with seedlings starting to spring to life and some of them almost ready to transplant to other areas already! We have already organised two trips, one in June and another in July to go out to the most eager local farms and begin reforesting, which we have selected for important conservation reasons, the first being wildlife that is known to frequent these areas, most importantly the scarlet macaw populations that feed in the farms and the second being the important creeks that run through the farms that are in desperate need of restoration and protection.
Another major development this month has been the interest in the park's football field, work originally began here almost 5 months ago with cutting the meter high grass that had been left to grow there, after this was done we had to go back and start removing the weeds and "bad" grass that had set roots down so that we could re-seed the area with the correct species of grass. During this process we always had in mind that the local communities and ourselves in the park would be the primary users of the field, but we began to receive visits from the captain/manager of one of the larger local teams expressing interest in using the field for training and home games.
Obviously this is something that would increase visitor numbers to the park greatly, with people coming to see the local games and of course the teams themselves. In exchange for this the team will come and help work on the area to get it into a suitable state to play on and of course maintenance to keep it in the perfect state that we wish it to be. I am eager and expectant that in the next couple of months I will finally be able to send you photos of the completed work here, hopefully with people playing on it, even if it's just us!
Other exciting things that have happened this month include a massive increase in wildlife moving around, this is principally because of the rains that have started falling with almost clockwork precision. Everyday at about 2-3pm it begins to rain heavily for a couple of hours with some of the most impressive lightning storms I have ever seen!
We have noticed a remarkable increase in mammal movement, especially young deer, some which must have only just begun to move away from their mothers, Brown Agouti, Armadillo, Howler monkey and White-nosed coati are now all seen almost daily and we are expectant that this increase will continue and improve further as the forest begins to recover from the normal dry season drought.
This has had a major impact on the sensor camera project as well, now that we are in the wet season there is much less wind than before as well as more rain. This means that the cameras are much more reliable in taking photos and with the increase in water, food and shelter animals are moving around a lot more and being captured by the cameras.
Probably the most exciting increase though has been in reptiles, with an increase in toad, frog and snake sightings, my personal favourites have been with the snakes, with the most amazing opportunity to view a rattle snake close up. This species is not only famous for its amazing warning rattle but also for its strong venom, a creature that must be respected at all times!
Another amazing photo opportunity occurred a few weeks before this with a very close up photo session with a Brown Vine snake, these snakes are very difficult to see in the forest due to their slender body and tendency to wave around like a vine in a light breeze, but when they know they have been discovered they have a truly amazing threat display which involves them raising themselves up from the ground and opening their mouths as you can see in the photo. Of course we maintain a safe distance from the snakes when we discover them; the camera zoom is a wonderful thing!

Study: Better TV might improve kids' behavior
Low-income boys get most short-term benefit
A new study has found teaching parents to switch channels from violent shows to educational TV can improve preschoolers' behavior, even without getting them to watch less.
The results were modest and faded over time, but the study's authors and other doctors say they may hold promise for finding ways to help young children avoid aggressive, violent behavior.
The research involving 565 parents was published online Monday by the journal Pediatrics.
The subjects periodically filled out TV-watching diaries and questionnaires measuring their child's behavior.
Half were coached for six months on getting their 3-to-5-year-old kids to watch shows like "Sesame Street" and "Dora the Explorer" rather than more violent programs like "Power Rangers."
Low-income boys appeared to get the most short-term benefit.

- 2 tbsp curry paste (we used Patak's Origional Balti curry paste)
- 1 onion, finely sliced
Onions are endlessly versatile and an essential ingredient in countless recipes. Native to Asia…
- 200g large raw or cooked prawn, defrosted if frozen
There are thousands of different species of prawn, but tiger, king and North Atlantic are the…
- 400g can chopped tomato with garlic
- large bunch coriander, leaves and stalks chopped
Drizzle some oil from the curry paste jar into a wok or large frying pan, gently heat, then add the onion. Sizzle over a low heat for 4 mins until the onion softens, then stir in the paste and cook for a few mins longer. Stir in the prawns and tomatoes, then bring to a simmer. If using raw prawns, simmer until they have changed colour and are cooked through. Season, if you like, then add the coriander just before serving with boiled rice and naan bread.
Recipe Tip
Fragrant coconut currySizzle a couple of tbsp Thai green curry paste in a wok or frying pan for a few moments, then add the prawns and a 400g can reduced-fat coconut milk instead of the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then cook until the prawns are cooked through. Add the coriander just before serving.
Recipe Tip
Buying prawnsLook out for prawns labelled 'North Atlantic', as they've undergone a much shorter journey than farmed prawns from the tropics. North Atlantic prawns also have a delicious, sweet flavour.

I couldn't imagine this tasting nice without cooking the canned tomatoes for a good old while first, before adding the prawns. Surely the overriding flavour would have been of canned tomatoes? Anyway, cooked the toms for 20–25 mins before adding the (cooked) prawns, and was yummy. Added peas too, as someone had suggested.

The GNU Virtual Private Ethernet software allows you to join multiple distinct hosts into a small private network, via a static set of public/private keys. It is ideally suited to joining a small number of hosts in a secure fashion.
I use gvpe to allow all the virtual machines I run to have a secure link between each other. Imagine you have a typical cluster:
If you assign each host a private address and configure them all to be in a VPN then traffic between them will be encrypted. That means even if your hosting company were to sniff your traffic they wouldn't ever see your database queries over the wire. (Of course if you don't trust your hosting company you've got bigger problems; they could clone your disks, subvert your hardware, or worse.)
I chose gvpe because it is very simple to setup, has a low overhead, and can be configured easily for a small and static list of hosts.
Installation of the software is very simple:
apt-get install gvpe
Once that is done we'll need to configure it. That involves three simple steps:
The first is simple. In our case we're going to configure a VPN between the two hosts one.example.com and two.example.com. So our configuration file /etc/gvpe/gvpe/gvpe.conf will look like this:
enable-udp = yes udp-port = 407 ifname = vpn0 node = one hostname = one.example.com node = two hostname = two.example.com
The configuration has some boiler-plate at the top to configure how the VPN will be setup, in our case using UDP traffic over port 407, and the name of the networking devices on each node (vpn0).
Now that we've configured the list of nodes we need to generate the keys:
# gvpectrl --config /etc/gvpe/ --generate
This will poluate the two directores /etc/gvpe/hostkeys, and /etc/gvpe/pubkey with some static keys, which are used for the encryption, and session negotiation. You need to generate the keys on only one node, then copy them to any other nodes - Every node must have identical keys.
In addition to creating keys for all nodes in the mesh we need to ensure that the host key for the local host is present. So we'd run:
# On the first node root@one:~# ln -s /etc/gvpe/hostkeys/one /etc/gvpe/hostkey # On the second node. root@two:~# ln -s /etc/gvpe/hostkeys/two /etc/gvpe/hostkey
(i.e. The keys are named after the node-name, but we need to ensure the key for the current host is located at /etc/gvpe/hostkey.)
The final step is to write a simple shell-script which will be launched when the link(s) are established. Create the file /etc/gvpe/if-up, with contents like so:
#!/bin/sh # # Set the MTU + MAC address # ip link set $IFNAME address $MAC mtu $MTU up # # Add an IP to the 'vpn0' device. # ip add add 10.0.0.1 dev $IFNAME # # Route the 10.0.0.0-255 range via this device. # ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 dev $IFNAME
NOTE: The script here will give the IP address 10.0.0.1 to the node it runs on. To be more dynamic, but still allow /etc/gvpe to be identical on all nodes you could rework the script like so:
#!/bin/sh # # Set the MTU + MAC address # ip link set $IFNAME address $MAC mtu $MTU up # # Add an IP to the 'vpn0' device - give a different IP for each node # case $NODENAME in one) ip add add 10.0.0.1 dev $IFNAME ;; two) ip add add 10.0.0.2 dev $IFNAME ;; esac # # Route the 10.0.0.0-255 range via this device. # ip route add 10.0.0.0/8 dev $IFNAME
This script works because the nodename of the current host will be passed along with the other variables you see referenced such as $IFNAME, and $MAC.
By the time you've reached this step you'll have the following structure:
/etc/gvpe/ ├── gvpe.conf - The configuration file. ├── hostkey - The key for this host, linked to from ./hostkeys ├── hostkeys │ ├── one - Private keys for the nodes. │ └── two ├── if-up - The script to launc the devices and configure the routing. └── pubkey ├── one - Public keys for the nodes. └── two 2 directories, 7 files
The only remaining step is to launch the link:
# On one side. root@one:~# gvpe --config /etc/gvpe/ -D one # On another side. root@two:~# gvpe --config /etc/gvpe/ -D two
The launch command includes the name of the current node, which is why we prefer to name nodes after hostnames. It makes it nice and clear. If all goes well you'll see something like this:
root@one ~ # gvpe --config /etc/gvpe/ -D one gvpe daemon 2.24 (Nov 15 2011 20:40:14) starting up. two(udp/x.x.x.x:407): connection established (direct), protocol version 0.1. ..
Repeat the matching command on the other side and you'll have a two-way link, which you can verify via:
root@one ~ # ip -4 addr list dev vpn0 19: vpn0: mtu 1422 .. inet 10.0.0.1/32 scope global vpn0 root@one ~ # ip -4 route list dev vpn0 10.0.0.0/8 scope link
Finally to allow the daemon to be launched on bootup you can update /etc/default/gvpe to read:
START_DAEMON="1" DAEMON_ARGS="--config /etc/gvpe/ one"
Here I'm using "one" as the node-name to be nice and clear. In my case I name nodes after the local hostnames, so I can instead write ...$(hostname --short)"
At the end of this article you should be able to quickly setup a simple VPN containing 2+ hosts. There are many more options you can experiment with, which are documented via "man gvpe.conf", "man gvpe", and "man gvpectrl".
I've done a similar thing with
tinc and it works really well too. The steps are mostly the same except:
I have tinc set up on all my machines and I can then reach any other machine as needs be. I work in a few NATed environments so I try to have a tinc inside each of these NATs that's permanently on and connected to others and then laptops that move from one NATed environment to another just connect to whatever local tinc they can see. I can always get into the machine inside these NATs from outside when I need to over the VPN too, using an indirect connection through tinc. Given that the mesh could be quite complicated, I have tinc write out a .dot file for me whenever the graph changes... very useful when I was first learning about it, but mostly I look at it now only for amusement purposes.
I have no idea if tinc is any better or worse than gvpe... I'll be interested to hear how things go in the long run for you!
[ Parent ]
Personally I think it is an advantage you get to write a shell script for gvpe, as you say for tinc it allows you to do a lot - you can add/remove routes, restart services, etc. My setup makes sure that the VPN address uses th last octet of the main IP because that makes it simple to remember:
# Add an IP to the 'vpn0' device. # # We take the last octet of eth0 to use # octet=$(grep address /etc/network/interfaces | awk -F. '{print $4}') ip add add 10.0.0.$octet dev $IFNAME
(For example the host 220.127.116.11 will get the VPN address 10.0.0.4.)
There are also hooks to call scripts when nodes join/leave the VPN too, which are documented in the "gvpe.conf" manpage.
But yes, if I were to compare gvpe to anything it would be tinc, and both are good simple to configure and use.
[ Parent ]
You set up the IP layer in the same way with tinc:
$ cat /etc/tinc/*/tinc-up
ifconfig $INTERFACE 192.168.240.8 netmask 255.255.255.0
(yeah sure, I should use ip(8) and could do more funky things with addresses and netmasks and... meh)
There's also a tinc-down script although I've not written any.
[ Parent ]
Brilliant timing, I was looking at GVPE earlier this week and wanted an example to think about...
"It's Not Magic, It's Work"
[ Parent ]
iptables --append OUTPUT ... --jump DROP
ip link set $IFNAME address $MAC mtu $MTU up ip link set dev $IFNAME multicast off ip addr add 10.0.0.$NODEID/8 dev $IFNAME # or whatever IP range
[ Parent ]
When starting gvpe I was getting
no protocols enabled. unrecoverable error while setting up network, exiting. terminating with exit code 1
It fixed adding on gvpe.conf
enable-rawip = true

Oklahoma disaster puts current Washington politics into perspective… Obama delivers statement on tragedy at 10:00 am ET… That said, there will be an inevitable fight over disaster relief… Three polls, three matters of consensus on the three controversies hitting the Obama administration… 1) The public believes there was wrongdoing; 2) that hasn't affected Obama's political standing; and 3) there's a huge partisan divide… Senate Finance Committee holds IRS hearing at 10:00 am ET… Conservatives come out against immigration reform… And two stories to watch in tonight's LA mayoral run-off.
Gene Blevins / Reuters
People walk near destroyed buildings and vehicles after a tornado struck Moore, Okla., near Oklahoma City, May 20, 2013.
*** Putting things into perspective: The massive and powerful tornado that ripped through Moore, OK on Monday afternoon puts so much of Washington's focus over the past two weeks -- on the IRS, Benghazi, and the leak investigations -- into perspective. Oklahoma officials, for now, have put the death toll at 51 individuals (at least 20 of whom are children). "To me, this is bigger than anything I've ever seen," Gov. Mary Fallin (R) said on "TODAY" this morning, and she added that includes past tornados and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. (This is an area of the country that has seen its share of destruction over the last 20 years.) President Obama, who already signed a disaster declaration for Oklahoma, delivers a statement around 10:00 am ET on the devastation, per NBC's Kristen Welker. And the politics of disaster relief and federal assistance has already made an appearance. Yes, there are still legitimate questions to ask regarding the three controversies facing the Obama administration. And, yes, those stories aren't going away (in fact, the Senate Finance Committee holds a hearing at 10:00 am ET on the IRS's targeting of conservative-sounding organizations filing for tax-exempt status). But right now, they take a pause.
*** The inevitable battle over disaster relief: Given the previous fight over federal-relief funding after Hurricane Sandy, it was inevitable that the politicization of this Oklahoma disaster would take place. And it has already begun. CQ Roll Call: "The tornado damage near Oklahoma City is still being assessed and the death toll is expected to rise, but already Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., says he will insist that any federal disaster aid be paid for with cuts elsewhere. CQ Roll Call reporter Jennifer Scholtes wrote for CQ.com Monday evening that Coburn said he would 'absolutely' demand offsets for any federal aid that Congress provides." Coburn's position is consistent with his vote on Sandy relief -- he voted no on federal funding late last year, as did Oklahoma's other senator, James Inhofe. And three of the state's five congressmen voted no, too (Bridenstine, Mullin, Lankford), while the other two voted for the relief (Cole, Lucas). Keep an eye on Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) in this. He has been a bridge between the establishment and conservatives on issues like Sandy relief and the fiscal cliff. He's got a lot of credibility with a bipartisan swath of members, and he may end up having to do a lot of political legwork to de-politicize this issue.
*** Three polls, three matters of consensus: Turning to the controversies facing the Obama administration, we now have the results from three different polls (CNN, Pew, WaPo/ABC) released in the last 36 hours. And they provide a consensus on three different stories. One, the public believes there was wrongdoing by the IRS and in the aftermath of the Benghazi attack. Two, this belief of wrongdoing hasn't affected President Obama's standing (WaPo/ABC has his approval rating at 51%; CNN has it as 53%). A big reason why is the economy: "For the first time since the 100-day mark of Obama's first term, most say they are optimistic about the direction of the economy. More than half, 56 percent, say the economy is on the mend, the most to say so in polls since 2009," the Washington Post writes. And three, there is a HUGE partisan divide when it comes to these controversies. According to the Pew poll, 37% of Republicans are following the IRS story very closely (compared with 21% of Democrats and 25% of indies), while 34% of Republicans are following the Benghazi investigation closely (versus 18% of Democrats and 26% of indies). As Pew adds, this level of interest and partisan divide is consistent with past controversies impacting the George W. Bush and Clinton administration; the folks out of power who didn't like the president in office were always more interested in these controversies. The one exception: The Lewinsky sex scandal, which had more people paying closer attention and almost no partisan divide.
*** Senate Finance Committee holds IRS hearing: As mentioned above, the Senate Finance Committee holds a hearing on the IRS story at 10:00 am, and the witnesses are outgoing IRS Acting Commissioner Steven Miller, former Commissioner Douglas Shulman, and the inspector general. Given the tragedy in Oklahoma -- and given the president's remarks around the same time -- this hearing won't receive the attention it might have. But the Obama White House had it rough yesterday when it dribbled out new information about who knew of the inspector general's report and when they knew about it. Make no mistake: It's over something that's relatively small, when (and who inside) the White House was given a heads up about the IG audit -- after all, there was little the White House could do with the report -- but it made the White House seem not very forthcoming with the press. The White House is acting as if it has a bunker mentality; it's only dribbling out information if extracted with a specific question. And it's giving off an impression staffers have more to hide.
*** Bunker mentality and not telling the president: Then there's the issue that many members of the senior team in the White House knew about the report without telling the president. While it's understandable they want the president to have plausible deniability about what he knows in the case of an IG report, it feeds the perception that the president is not very hands-on right now. Yes, it's damned if they do, damned if they don't -- which is probably why it's imperative they begin to own these controversies on their terms.
*** Conservatives come out against immigration reform: Per NBC's Carrie Dann, "Several prominent conservative media figures are backing a new effort by groups who oppose bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform, signaling growing willingness from conservative outlets to marshal their audiences against the bill. Signatories on a new open letter to Congress titled 'The Wrong Way to Reform Immigration" include RedState editor Erick Erickson, radio hosts Laura Ingraham and Mark Levin, and columnist Michelle Malkin. 'No matter how well intentioned, the Schumer-Rubio bill suffers from fundamental design flaws that make it unsalvageable,' the letter states. 'Many of us support various parts of the legislation, but the overall package is so unsatisfactory that the Senate would do better to start over from scratch.'"
*** Two stories to watch in today's LA mayoral run-off: And there are two stories to watch in today's run-off contest for LA mayor between City Controller Wendy Greuel (D) and City Councilman Eric Garcetti (D). The first is that Greuel COULD become the city's first female mayor, although polls (here and here) have shown that Garcetti has a slight lead. The second story is the expected low turnout. As Jessica Taylor writes, "[T]he runoff race between two Democratic candidates isn't drawing much interest as turnout could reach a record low despite the more than $33 million that's been spent on the nearly two year-long contest to succeed outgoing Mayor Anthony Villagarosa." In fact, just 21% turned out in the first round of voting. Now this could just be LA being LA, but the low turnout might be something to keep an eye on. Polls close at 11:00 pm ET.

A Head Full of Dreams
Posted by Laura Clayderman
The weather forecast said that it's going to rain this Sunday, so I'm posting this look I was shooting for a while ago when it was windy and cold in LA. Just some inspiration on how you guys can layer your sweater / shirt or to just simply stay warm and comfortable. It was a fun shoot for me because I was just getting a coffee date with my friend on a chilly Sunday.

Mossberg's Mailbox
Waiting for Windows Vista
There's no other major item most of us own that is as confusing, unpredictable and unreliable as our personal computers. Everybody has questions about them, and we aim to help.
Here are a few questions about computers I've received recently from people like you, and my answers. I have edited and restated the questions a bit, for readability. This week my mailbox contained questions about Windows Media Center, the Aero interface in Vista and right-clicking on Apple laptops.
I want to buy a Windows Media Center PC, but before I go out and buy one this fall, do you know if the new Windows Vista will impact the Media Center PCs or if Microsoft is going to release a Windows XP Media 2007 edition?
Microsoft is killing the Media Center Edition of Windows that allows current Media Center PCs to be controlled by remote from across a room for playback of music, photos, TV and videos. So, there won't be a 2007 edition. However, the functionality of Media Center will continue, and will even be improved. It will simply be folded into some editions of Vista, which is the new version of Windows that is slated for release in January.
People who want the latest and greatest Media Center functions in Windows should wait until then and buy a new PC with Vista's Home Premium edition preinstalled, or they should upgrade their current PC to Vista Home Premium edition, if their hardware is good enough.
I am beginning to research the new Windows Vista operating system and I keep running into the term "Aero" and "Aero-capable." What does this mean? Is it important?
Yes, it's very important. Aero is the name for the new and flashy graphical user interface in Vista, the software component that will enable its new, much richer look and feel, and its many visual features. But Aero will require robust computer hardware to run. Most computers currently in use in homes won't have the horsepower for Aero. Even some bargain-basement new models won't be up to the task. So, you are beginning to see computers described as "Aero-capable," which means their manufacturers are claiming they can run the full Vista experience, including Aero.
Confusingly, some computers that can't run Aero can still run Vista, and may be described as "Vista-capable" or Vista compatible. These machines will run Vista in a mode that looks much more like Windows XP. They will benefit from Vista features such as built-in fast searching and enhanced security, but won't be able to use the new Aero interface and graphics capability.
The Home Premium edition of Vista will have Aero. A less expensive Home Basic version won't.
I tried the right-clicking shortcut you suggested last week for Apple laptops, but I can't get it to work. Is there more to this trick?
The technique I described last week for simulating a right mouse click on a new Macintosh laptop with a single touch pad button does work; you just place two fingers on the touch pad (which Apple calls the "trackpad"), and click the button. But I should have mentioned that it isn't turned on by default. You have to manually enable this feature, just once.
To do this, go into System Preferences, click on the "Keyboard & Mouse" icon, then click on the "Trackpad" tab. Once there, select "Place two fingers on trackpad and click button for secondary click." Then just close the window or quit System Preferences.
One more thing: if you have opted to use the "clicking" feature, which allows you to tap on the pad itself rather than clicking the button below it, then the simulated right-click feature works differently: you just tap the pad with two fingers. There's no need to also click the button.
* * *
Because of the volume of email I receive, I can't routinely answer individual questions by email, or consult on individual problems or purchasing decisions. I read all questions I receive and select three each week to answer in the column.

But seriously, here's a little preview of what I'll be wearing tomorrow night for New Year's Eve. We've never been much for going out on New Year's, too much pressure I think. And since having kids we have the perfect excuse to stay in. This year though we have reservations with some close friends at a favorite local restaurant at 6 pm, which gives us plenty of time to get home and ring in the New Year with the kids at 9 pm. Does anyone else here on the West Coast watch the East Coast feed on New Year's? The kids love staying up and blowing their horns. I love being able to say I rung in the New Year, when really I was snug in my bed with my Kindle and pillow pet.
Outfit Details:
Top: Loft
Skirt: Loft
Belt: St. John
Tights: Donna Karan
Booties: Stuart Weitzman
Wishing all of you out there, even you way in the back, lurking around, a very Happy New Year! Please be safe out there and enjoy, whatever you do! I'll see you back here in 2011!
Much Love!

The dog days of summer are upon us. In case you spent the week at the beach and missed out on the big news of the week (hint: Google, Google, and Google), here's your weekly recap of the top stories from Law & Disorder, Nobel Intent, and Open Ended.
Cars hacked through wireless tire sensors: Researchers have shown that the tire pressure monitoring sensors found in new cars can be exploited, allowing attackers to track vehicles remotely and crash ECUs.
Oracle sues Google over use of Java in Android: Google faces a copyright- and patent-infringement lawsuit over its use of Java in the Android development platform. Oracle means business, and the lawsuit is sure to make ripples throughout the Java-using community.
Google and Verizon unveil private net neutrality deal: As expected, Google and Verizon have unveiled their own version of net neutrality enforcement for the consideration of Congress. It includes big exemptions for wireless broadband and "additional or differentiated services." What does that mean? Your guess is as good as ours.
Upon further review, it turned out that the Google-Verizon NN pact was riddled with gaping loopholes. It would stop ISP discrimination and prioritization on the Internet, except when it won't, which by our reading will be most of the time.
Google's startling about-face led us to examine the paper trail of betrayal. We compared Google's earlier filings on net neutrality with this week's Google/Verizon manifesto and ask, "What happened?"
Not enjoying the largely negative reaction to its deal with Verizon, Google explained that its net neutrality flip-flop was made in "spirit of compromise." The company's joint statement with Verizon has nothing to do with the Android operating system, Google says.
Private browsing: it's not so private: The private browsing features found in most Web browsers, designed to keep online activity secret, have been examined by a team at Stanford University. Unfortunately for those with an interest in "special interest" websites, the team found that these modes are not as private as they should be.
AMD Fusion won't kill the GPU, but what if it kills the CPU?: AMD says that its CPU + GPU "Fusion" plans won't kill the discrete GPU, but we wonder about the opposite scenario: what if a combination of Moore's Law and Amdahl's Law kills the CPU instead?
Droid 2 launches Thursday with Froyo, Flash: Motorola bucks the super-sized Android phone trend by releasing an update to the original Droid. When it's released this Thursday, it will be the first smartphone to ship with Android 2.2 and Flash 10.1.
"Keep mustache out of the opening": a history of phone etiquette: With everybody arguing about mobiles and laptops in cafes and restaurants, we take a look at the etiquette debates of a century ago, when manners experts and AT&T both advised consumers not to say "hello" while talking on the phone. Also, handsets don't appreciate facial hair.
Hands-on: KDE 4.5 launches with tiling, new notifications: The KDE team has announced the official release of KDE SC 4.5. Ars takes a hands-on look at the new version, which offers a new optional tiled window mode some noteworthy improvements to the Plasma desktop shell.
53 gay porn pirates face new round of P2P lawsuits: It's not just the US Copyright Group targeting anonymous P2P downloaders in federal court—a gay porn producer this week got in on the hot "mass lawsuit" action. A bad approach to online infringement spreads further.

I am a huge copier of restaurants. Usually I do caviar with blinis and make the blinis to order, but this is not a relaxing, leisurely meal for me and not exactly appropriate for 2 people. So I "stole" from Etoile, Domaine Chandon's fine dining restaurant in Yountville.
Caviar with all the accompaniments:
Etoile had capers and chives as separate accompaniments that I eliminated. But I did do chopped shallots (much better than onions), chopped egg yolks, chopped egg whites, creme fraiche with snipped chives (the chives really added a lot to the creme fraiche) and not pictured toast points. A great dinner and if you have extra accompaniments leftover, a terrific egg salad.
