Bond set at $2 million for Wheeling murder suspect
A judge set bond at $2 million Sunday for an Arlington Heights teen charged with shooting a Wheeling man to death Wednesday while trying to gun down a rival gang member.
Jesus Sanchez, 18, of the 2000 block of West Nichols Road, was trying to kill a 15-year-old boy who had left his gang to join a rival group when he instead fatally shot 23-year-old bystander Rafael Orozco, a Cook County prosecutor said at a bond hearing.
He now faces life in prison if found guilty of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting outside the Winetree Apartments on the 400 block of Pleasant Run Drive of Wheeling. Sanchez, who's also charged with attempted first-degree murder, must post $200,000 cash as bond to go free pending resolution of his case.
Bond for his co-defendant, Collin Scheffler, 19, of the 0-100 block of Countryside Lane in Prospect Heights, was set at $500,000. Scheffler, also charged with first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, served as Sanchez's driver to and from the scene of the shooting, a prosecutor said Sunday.
Scheffler's parents were in court Sunday for their son's bond hearing. Afterward, his father, Bill Scheffler, said "he wasn't the shooter."
According to Assistant Cook County State's Attorney David Weiner, the shooting stemmed from a dispute between Sanchez and a 15-year-old boy who had left Sanchez's gang.
Earlier Wednesday, Weiner said, Sanchez and other gang members confronted the 15-year-old after he got off a school bus, punching and kicking him until the altercation was broken up. A second confrontation between rival gang members occurred later that day, but the groups separated after someone threatened to call police.
Shortly before 9 p.m. Wednesday, Weiner said, Sanchez and two others met up with Scheffler, who drove them to the Winetree Apartments and dropped off Sanchez.
After sneaking up on a group that included his 15-year-old intended target and Orozco, Sanchez opened fire with four to six shots, Weiner said. One of the bullets struck Orozco in the back and exited his chest. He collapsed a short distance away and later was pronounced dead at Glenbrook Hospital in Glenview.
Weiner said Sanchez fled the scene in Scheffler's car and dumped the gun, but returned a short time later to retrieve his own vehicle parked nearby. Rival gang members spotted him and chased him into the arms of police officers responding to the shooting, he said.
Both Sanchez and Scheffler later gave videotaped statements admitting to their roles in Orozco's slaying, Weiner said. Sanchez also tested positive for gunshot residue, he added.
Family members said Orozco was husband and father who worked at a local bakery and was walking his dog in the apartment complex where his family lived Wednesday night when he was shot.
Both Sanchez and Scheffler are scheduled to return to court Tuesday at the Cook County courthouse in Rolling Meadows.

The Lenovo Group Ltd. has been somewhat candid regarding their potential acquisition targets over the past few months. The PC maker began mulling over a possible partnership with BlackBerry earlier this year and stated that they were looking for the right opportunity. BlackBerry began the review of its strategic options late last year. Lenovo is looking to enhance its mobile-device business and is actively looking for companies that could help them do that.
In an interview with the French publication LesEchos, Lenovo CEO Yang Yuanqing was asked about the acquisition of BlackBerry. He stated that "for BlackBerry, the file could possibly make sense. But first I have to analyze the market well and understand what is the exact weight of this company" (Google Translate)
Whether or not this means Lenovo would be solely looking at BlackBerry's hardware business or the company as a whole is still to be determined. Some analysts think that the recent security concerns that the U.S government has with Chinese based companies could prevent Lenovo from acquiring the entire company. Either way this is something that is sure to spike BlackBerry stock within the next couple of days.

Arsonists target three Russian churches
Three churches in a predominantly Muslim province in Russia were set on fire by arsonists on Monday.
One of the buildings, an Orthodox church in the village of Ordzhonikidzevsky, was almost totally destroyed.
The other two – an Orthodox church and a Baptist church in the nearby city of Karachaevsk – sustained only minimal damage after the night guard for one put out the fire and the night guard for the other called in firefighters.
No injuries were reported.
"According to preliminary information, all the three arson attacks happened between 4:00am to 6:00am on Monday," Kabardino-Balkaria Interior Ministry spokesman Kazim Baybanov told Moscow-based Interfax.
Furthermore, all three fires were set when flammable objects were thrown through the churches' windows.
Though vandalism of churches is rare in Russia's mainly Muslim North Caucasus, where Christian communities live among Muslims, general violence has plagued the region.
In the Karachayevo-Cherkessia province, however, violence has been scarce even though insurgents consider the North Caucasus, including Karachayevo-Cherkessia, to be occupied territory.
Ismail Berdiev, head of the regional Spiritual Administration for Muslims, believes Monday's arsons were aimed at destabilizing the mixed Christian and Muslim society.
But Berdiev believes the attacks will have no such effect.
"Whatever religion a person believes in, he won't raise his hand against a temple or a mosque alike, for both of them are houses of God," he told RIA Novosti, the state news agency.
Karachayevo-Cherkessia, also referred to as Karachay-Cherkess, is home to about 440,000 people.

Data Backup Essentials
Computer security is so multifaceted that it cannot be tailored to fit any one specific definition or approach. Comprehensive computer security comprises numerous subcategories that together add up to form a single, coherent structure. One of these subcategories that we haven't yet touched on is data backup and the part it plays in keeping valuable data safe. Here, we are making up for this omission by reviewing the different approaches to data backup and how they work.
Backup = Insurance
What can be backed up

Different flavors of backup solutions
Backup = Insurance
Data backup enables you to save your information to a safe place and restore it later if something happens to the device on which your data normally resides. It is an indispensable tool if you want to be sure your original work, or files, or whatever data you value stays intact no matter what may threaten that data; it means you can always roll back to a previous state and restore what's been lost or compromised. When critical information is at risk, data backup is your primary resort to be safe in knowledge that your digital valuables are not jeopardized. Data backup is especially helpful in the following situations:
When you're about to install a new application or a major update and you're unsure whether it's going to cause systems disruptions or compatibility or interoperability problems. Ironically, this application could be a security program or Windows Service Pack that introduces significant modifications to your existing OS configuration which may in turn cause other problems. Backing up is also a sensible precaution for users who like to experiment with advanced system settings, like manually tweaking registry entries and testing different system drivers or services.
When you experience, foresee, or want to preempt hardware malfunctions. There could be a number of indicators suggesting your hardware may be failing, such as system instability or overheating, or your hard drive is degrading. Hard drive problems really need a whole article to themselves, but for the purposes of this article, there are a few warning signs you should be aware of. When a hard drive is nearing the end of its life, Windows starts to report disk readability or writeabilty issues, or the SMART hard disk diagnostics system warns of an impending crash and recommends you promptly save and transfer your data to a safe place. Backing up is also advisable if you don't use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply), as an electric surge can make your hard disk or motherboard unusable beyond repair. It's hard to predict a future malfunction, but not impossible. Experienced users know of potential problem indicators, but for everyone else, here's some advice: the older your system is, the more chance there is of it failing because of lack of proper servicing or care. If it's kept in a dusty, humid or hot environment, the likelihood of failure is higher. It's a good idea to run a free-to-try diagnostics utility such Sisoftware's Sandra or Everest from time to time, as these tools can be helpful in predicting hardware crashes.
Backing up also makes sense if you want to mitigate the impact of viruses and other malware programs that may get past your defenses. Beyond their primary mission of stealing information, malware can be more directly destructive by damaging system configuration settings, corrupting files, and blocking or diverting network connections. As we've repeated many times in Security Insight, the use of security software is only one layer in the quest to safeguard your data, and no security solution can keep you safe from every threat. Backups can often be a more effective way to restore your system after a malware infection than antivirus.
You intend to use your computer on-the-go and are concerned about data integrity or safety. If you lose your laptop or if it ends up in the water, a backup of your important data will save the day.
You may be the unofficial tech support person for your friends and relatives. If anything goes wrong with one of their machines, you can simply roll it back to the last backup data.
A backup is handy if you plan to change to a new PC. Just save all your files and restore them on the new PC. It's important to remember, however, that if the configuration of a new PC significantly differs from your old one, restoring the operating system and all installed programs won't be possible, because the different hardware will likely require different settings.
What can be backed up
When you select items to back up, consider what is important to you. Essentially, the following can be backed up:
Individual files and folders (documents, photos, music, etc). With your backup software, simply designate those items that you want to be backed up and it will save them automatically. Don't forget to update your backups regularly to take care of new files and updated originals.
Local and remote storage, including logical disks (partitions) and physical disks. In addition to files, your backup system can save the entire contents of selected hard drives and later restore their contents to a new or old destination.
Removable storage, such as USB flash drives, DVDs and other external devices.
Your operating system and its settings, including all installed software. You can save the state of your operating system and then revert back to the last image point when needed.
How it works
Modern backup software is relatively easy and straightforward to use. Generally, after you've installed it, you select the locations that you intend to backup, specify the location where these objects will be stored and press ok. Once the backups are created, you can restore them when needed. Your first backup should always be a full copy of the original location, whereas subsequent backups are incremental, backing up only content that is new or changed since the last backup. This saves time and disk space needed for backup.
Later backups can be either on-demand (you ask the program to perform backup at a desired time) or on schedule. On-schedule backups can be set to occur at regular intervals specified in the backup program itself. You might also want to consider on-event backups offered with select programs, which can be set to occur when a certain event, such as prolonged idle time or a power problem, are indicated.
Backup storage
When you back up your data, you save it to a specific destination. Usually, this destination is a large compressed file on a local device – either a removable hard drive or a high-capacity memory card. The backup location can be customized and it's very important to keep in mind that the place where you store your backup copy should be secure – if your primary data source fails, you need to be sure you can access and use your backup. Keeping your backed-up data in a safe, dry place disconnected from the power circuit will ensure your backup will stay in good shape and enable you to get your data back in case of emergency. It's not a good idea to keep your backup copy on your primary hard drive or an old ROM disk, because these can be exposed to disaster as much as your main storage.
You can back up your data to remote storage or use one of the free or commercial online backup services available. Bear in mind that storing your data at somebody else's facilities has advantages and drawbacks. The advantages are:
Your backup is not affected by local events, such as power surges, lightning, fire, flooding, earthquakes and other natural disasters.
Storing your data with a credible organization that has expertise in data storage and continuity operations is generally reliable. Such organizations generally run fault-tolerant systems with multiple backups that should ensure your data will be safe.
Disadvantages are:
You have to trust the organization where you store your data, to be sure its confidentiality is maintained.
Uploading your saved data and later downloading it to restore from will require a lot of bandwidth and data support, so your ISP account should allow for unlimited data and high throughput.
There's some concern over the security of your data when it is in transit. The risk is small, but it could be accessed by third parties. In that regard, check with your backup provider concerning the precautions they take to make sure this process is safe.
Managing your remote backups may not be as simple as local backups, and remote backups don't always give you the full benefits of local backups. As an extreme case, you would not be able to restore a backup if your computer is so damaged that it cannot boot the OS. You'd have to use another computer to connect to the internet, download the required remote image and initiate the restoration process. In contrast, local backup software usually offers the option to create a CD-ROM boot disk that will initiate restoration to the desired point if your computer cannot be started in the usual way. You simply insert the CD, connect to the device on which you keep your backup, and your hard disk is restored in an hour or so.
Forms of backups:
The following forms of backup exist:
Disk cloning, where your entire physical drive is copied onto another hard drive. In case anything happens to your original drive, you can simply connect a new drive to your PC and it will boot from it. The new drive will be an exact copy of your original drive, and will have all the files and documents as existed on the old one at the moment of cloning operations. If the size of the disks differs, your partitions (logical disks such as C, D, etc) will be shrunk or expanded proportionally. If you make a clone of the disk, remember that the computer configuration should stay the same.
File storage, where all backup data is compressed and stored in one single file. This file is compressed to save space and can be password-protected to ensure other people can't view its contents.
Restore points selectable within your backup software. Restore points are assigned according to the date a backup was made, and if anything happens to your PC, you can always revert to the last restore point from within the program interface.
Different flavors of backup solutions
Computer backup solutions exist in both software and hardware forms. Hardware systems are usually automated, always-connected devices that copy the contents of the primary hard drive to an embedded magnetic tape or hard drive. Mirrored Raid Arrays (RAID-1) are two internal hard drives running in parallel mode, where the second drives automatically backs up the contents of the first drive on the fly. If the primary drive becomes corrupted, the contents can be recovered from the second drive. Effective against hardware HDD failure, RAID arrays are of no use in case a virus harms your main system, because the same infection will be instantly duplicated to the second drive as well, negating all efforts. RAID systems are relatively easy and inexpensive to deploy, but require a degree of expertise to manage in the first configuration stages.
Back-up functionality is present in many of today's software applications, from Security Suites such as Norton360 to OS-bundled software such as Apple's Time Machine and Windows' Backup or Restore Wizard. These programs usually offer less functionality than dedicated, specialized backup tools such as Acronis True Image, but still perform basic backup tasks and are quite sufficient for many people.
Backing up your system is a very good habit to develop. It will save you a lot of hassle and stress in case a system malfunction or virus infection occurs. There you have it, folks – I hope you found this article informative and useful.

tutoring service in Dublin, North Carolina ...
Starting a tutoring service in Dublin, NC
Though just about anyone with a skill set or specific knowledge could be a tutor, not everyone will fit the bill or enjoy doing the job. So when you look for a tutoring service to use, join, or use as a pattern to establish your own, make sure that the act of teaching, the social aspects, the mentoring issues, and the understanding are all in place, and there's a need to be a part of it.
Begin with the passion
Certifications and knowledge of the subject matter are required – you can't get around that. But if you love working with one or more students to help them find a deeper understanding, open their eyes to what it really means to understand a topic, or simply enjoy sharing knowledge and inspiration, then the tutoring may be a good fit for both teacher and student. Some practical experience in teaching is valuable since many see some kind of romantic adventure in teaching right up until they start doing it, and then they hate it because it isn't what they expected.
Whether you want to be a tutor in Dublin, NC, or you need the assistance of one, nobody wants to share their experience with someone who hates being there.
Have a reason to start that matters to you
We are becoming a nation of entrepreneurs – or we want to be, a tutoring service in Dublin, NC is one that can be started with almost no investment of funds to get started – that is if you already have the knowledge and skills. Many tutors start offering services while they are still in the process of receiving their education such as a high school student tutoring someone in their own grade or lower who struggles with a subject where the tutor excels. This type of service may be gratifying to the tutor and give them extra cash, and is not a bad beginning at all. For those doing that type of work, keep all the notes and handouts, so you have templates for the next person needing help – allowing you to make money with less effort every time you don't have to create a new plan.
Those in the teaching profession may love the teaching in Dublin, NC, but not the larger classrooms or even the political system within the schools. Tutoring provides an option to do what is loved without so much of the things you're not as happy about. But if you need a regular income, consider spending the time to build up clients and a reputation before striking out on your own. The other option to consider is joining a private tutoring service that's already established like the Monsanto schools. You continue to get the teaching experience, can try various ways of doing it, and not have to deal with as much of the problems you dislike.
If you are gifted with languages and helping others learn than teaching those languages, or alternatively, English as a second language, can be done from home, online, or possibly at a community college or night classes at the local high school.
There are many reasons to start a tutoring business Dublin, NC, but don't forget one many may not first think of – not-for-profit. When you first start out, you may want to include this service for free to some extent. This gives you experience, helps you build a positive reputation, and allows you time to get programs in place and test them for any problems that need to be resolved. There are many places you can volunteer to teach and perfect your trade in the process – or just be a philanthropic service to the community. If that's your passion, check with youth centers, churches, community centers, and even senior and assisted living facilities. Learning doesn't have to stop with the young, many seniors find learning fun and helpful, as Poirot might say, "keeping the little gray cells active."
Sorry, if you hate having to sell, you may have to just get beyond that. Any business you start in Dublin, NC, whether tutoring, fitness, dance or something else, requires an ongoing marketing effort. And that being the case, is there something you can offer that sets you apart? If you have several students you teach each individually and mostly online, though they are local – consider a quarterly or semiannual ceremony or celebration to let students get together with you and their families and acknowledge the hard work they've done.
Consider using a special upfront charge when you start teaching each quarter (or so) that can pay for the costs of supplies or a catered party – of course using a local caterer who is building their business as well. Sharing the networking opportunity with others may get special discounts and build a network of people who share your information with people you might not otherwise meet.
Keep a list of places or people you want as clients and then at least once a week think of something you can do to make a positive impression on at least one from the list. Marketing is not always about making a pitch. If there's a local paper or penny ads publication, check to see if they might be interested in an article written by you about learning a set topic. Get your name out there so people can see your expertise.
Become a professional
Create a website, get business cards printed, register your business with the appropriate government authorities – often at a county or city level, and open a separate bank account for your business. No this has little to do with the service you'll be performing, but it will make much of what you do easier – whether that is about paying your taxes, or easily networking by having business cards on hand.
And part of being professional is having the right clothes. If your tutoring service is online, you can spend most of your time in whatever feels comfortable, but when you make presentations or meet with students via a service like Google Hangouts or Skype, you need to have an outfit that suits your job. For men, that means at least a button-up shirt and a tie. Add a decent looking dark (navy is a good choice) suit to your wardrobe as soon as you can. Until you get the suit, just make sure any camera views are above the desk. For women, a skirt or pantsuit that would be appropriate in an office, along with a basic blouse in white or light pastels works, though women can show more flare in many cases and it's fine. For both, if you are teaching less formal topics, you can get a bit playful with what you wear – a cartoon character tie, or a festive fuchsia blouse.
What do you need?
Some possibilities include a physical location if you are going to offer many classes and employ other tutors, you may need an app allowing you to work with students – such as a whiteboard app allowing both of you to write on it at the same time from your respective locations. You might need teaching aids, or online services helping you make your "handouts" look professional and exciting to the students.
If you open a full-service type of center, then you'll want to first put together a business plan and then look at financing options. Don't forget the resources provided by the small business bureau. They have brochures and people to help you from start to finish in setting up a business successfully and in obtaining financing after it is set up.
Still interested?
Okay, we've shared the basic concepts with you, if you still are excited about opening a tutoring service, then start pulling your plan together, do your research, and decide what you will be teaching, as well as what will set you apart from other tutors offering similar possibilities. That something special doesn't have to be connected to teaching or learning either. Consider that high-end hotels for years have put a mint or chocolate candy on the pillow for guests to enjoy – Then came Doubletree – they offered something different by putting a chocolate chip cookie on the pillow instead.
Your version of something different or unique doesn't have to be a huge change, just something to set you apart from others, just that added flair to your presentation or something more for the student to take home after they've completed your class or the full course. You decide, it's your business now.

My mad dash to stupidity
So, in a nut shell, 350, 416 heads, small cam, yada yada yada, had it running Sunday, did cam break in, brief but excellent road test, all good right? Get home, oil leak at front and rear, assume because I used the dam rubber ends that that was the issue. Pull the intake, reseal, bolt back on, notice port alignment isn't great, and I did have very lightly dremel intake bolt holes to get it lined up, I assumed due to the heads being milled. But, dist won't sit flush, again, same assumption, grab some shims, slap it together, still not happy with port alignment and how the intake bolts go in....pull it apart, and try to figure out how to guage required machining to the intake to make it work...(head milling unknown) so while sitting,and stewing, as this thing needs to run tommorow, I reach over and grab beat up and oily old performer, as opposed the the port matched, painted, clean brand new Chinese knock off that I was using, and low and fkng behold, it fits flawlessly, pull all the fittings, brake clean the hell out of it, swap everything over, and install, absolutely perfect....I'm pissed and happy at the same time....its not as pretty, but I suspect will function right.....
Moral of my story.....
Stop making stupid assumptions when your actually clueless....

The war machines of the Western world exploit and generate cycles of conflict in the peoples inhabiting the periphery of global society. We witness these wars and interventions from a privileged perspective, and perceive those who oppose our militaristic advances as barbarians and terrorists, remaining blind to their historical and cultural narratives. My film attempts to reclaim the stories of the world's marginalised, the Orwellian 'unpeople', in defiance of the West's ignorance of their suffering. It presents their experiences in their own contexts while sympathising with their instinctual desires to secure the wellbeing of their land and people.

Penn Yan retailers to relocate for new department store
PENN YAN, N.Y. - Lake Street Plaza patrons will soon see some drastic changes as construction begins on the new Peebles Department store.
The project, as reviewed by the Penn Yan Village Planning board earlier this month, calls for the demolition of 10,500 square feet of retail space currently occupied by Dollar General, Red Diamond Deli, Family Hair Care, Radio Shack and Finger Lakes Furniture and Bedding.Most of those retailers will be relocating to other spaces in the plaza, but specific plans were not available yet.
In it's place, a 19,360 square foot building will be constructed to house a Peebles Department Store and one other retailer.
The project, slated to begin in early 2008, also includes relocating the plaza entrance from Lake Street 90 feet to the southwest, closer to the Community Bank.
The project must still be reviewed by New York State Department of Transportation officials and the Yates County Planning Board.
Peebles Department Store, owned by Stage Stores, Inc., based in Houston, Texas, reported that its total sales for November increased 7.8 percent to $130.7 million from $121.2 million in the same period last year.
The company opened 12 new stores in November, bringing the 2007 total openings to 47.
Friendship board fires police chief
FRIENDSHIP, N.Y. – The Friendship Town Board unanimously terminated its former officer-in-charge and another officer Wednesday night, effective immediately.
Let go following an executive session to discuss police personnel were Chief Dennis Brennan, who led the department from early November until he was suspended without pay during an emergency meeting of the town board Dec. 7. The board also terminated Officer James Ward.
On Dec. 7, two men driving a car with plates registered to the town of Friendship went through at least one red light with lights and sirens in Niagara County to return to a military base where Brennan was conducting training. Brennan was at the base at the time.
Afterwards, Brennan, who did not speak on his own behalf during the meeting, shook hands with the people who had come to support him at the meeting. He did not elaborate on how he would respond to the board's decision.
Ernest LaPlante, chief of Buffalo Special Police, a division of the Buffalo Police Department, attended the meeting but did not speak. Earlier Wednesday, he said he felt the incident was blown out of proportion by Niagara County.
"That's a slap on the hand. That's not something to fire someone over," LaPlante said. "I have a lot of respect for Dennis Brennan. He would make that department outstanding compared to other departments.
Penn Yan Academy tardiness policy is working, officials say
PENN YAN, N.Y. – Penn Yan Academy's new practice to combat the disruption caused by tardy students interrupting first period classes is having a measurable impact.
Becky Perrault, assistant principal at the academy reported on the results at the Dec. 19 board of education meeting.
Earlier in the school year the academy's policy on tardiness changed to require late students to be held in the cafeteria during the first period of classes rather than arrive late, disrupting the instruction time for the entire class. The tardy student is then responsible for contacting the teacher and making up the work he or she missed.
"Tardiness to the first period has decreased overall at Penn Yan Academy and continues to decrease," she told the board. Specifically, daily tardiness has dcreased from an average of six to three students, with some days starting without any tardy students.
During the first five weeks of the school year, before the policy went into effect, there were 136 instances of tardiness by 58 students. The total Academy student body is 650. At the end of the second five weeks of instruction, the numbers dropped to 66 occurrences from 33 students, she reported.
Perrault said the results were seen across all grade levels.
"Students and parents responded," she said, explaining that reports and comments indicate that students have chosen to be on time rather than be held in the cafeteria during the first period.
Mohawk Valley Community College, teacher program team up for zoo
UTICA, N.Y. – Mohawk Valley Community College, in correlation with the SUNY Oneonta pre-service teacher program, offered to design lessons and activities for Utica Zoo's teacher resource boxes. Students enrolled in an elementary science methods course spent several weeks developing curricula and creating materials to enhance zoo education boxes. Professor Carolyn Crist, a former zoo educator, facilitated the project that included two sessions on zoo grounds and several hours of independent work.
The Utica Zoo Education Department teacher resource boxes are available for local educators in the following topics: dinosaurs, rainforests, endangered species, birds of prey, reptiles, invertebrates, amphibians, oceans, tigers and North American tracks. Resource boxes include bio-artifacts, such as skulls, skins, and shells, lesson plans, activity cards, books and magazines. The boxes can be rented for a period of one week for a cost of $10. Interested educators can call 738-0472 and ask to speak to Mary or Meg.

US Ambassador To The UN Samantha Power Ripped Into Russia
United States Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power ripped into Russia's government during an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Monday on the Ukrainian crisis.
Power accused Russia of an act of aggression, not a humanitarian mission. She said there was nothing to justify its conduct in escalating military operations in the Crimea region of Ukraine after the ouster of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych, an ally of the Russian government of President Vladimir Putin.
"Russia has every right to wish events had turned out differently. It doesn't have the right to express that using military force," Power said.
Power said there is no evidence of any threats to Russian citizens or ethnic Russians in the Crimean peninsula, after Russia's ambassador to the U.N. had suggested Russians are "being persecuted for ideas and language."
"Russian mobilization is in response to an imaginary threat," she said.
Power called for a deployment of human-rights monitors in Ukraine, and called on Russia to "immediately pull back" its forces.
U.S. President Barack Obama said Russia was "on the wrong side of history" in Ukraine on Monday, and warned of potential diplomatic and economic "isolation."
Here is the full text of Power's remarks at the U.N.:
Thank you Madam President. Listening to the representative of Russia, one might think that Moscow had just become the rapid response arm of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. So many of the assertions made this afternoon by the Russian Federation are without basis in reality.
Let's begin with a clear and candid assessment of the facts.
It is a fact that Russian military forces have taken over Ukrainian border posts. It is a fact that Russia has taken over the ferry terminal in Kerch. It is a fact that Russian ships are moving in and around Sevastapol. It is a fact that Russian forces are blocking mobile telephone services in some areas. It is a fact that Russia has surrounded or taken over practically all Ukrainian military facilities in Crimea. It is a fact that today Russian jets entered Ukrainian airspace. It is also a fact that independent journalists continue to report that there is no evidence of violence against Russian or pro-Russian communities.
Russian military action is not a human rights protection mission. It is a violation of international law and a violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the independent nation of Ukraine, and a breach of Russia's Helsinki Commitments and its UN obligations.
The central issue is whether the recent change of government in Ukraine constitutes a danger to Russia's legitimate interests of such a nature and extent that Russia is justified in intervening militarily in Ukraine, seizing control of public facilities, and issuing military ultimatums to elements of the Ukrainian military. The answer, of course, is no. Russian military bases in Ukraine are secure. The new government in Kyiv has pledged to honor all of its existing international agreements, including those covering Russian bases. Russian mobilization is a response to an imaginary threat.
A second issue is whether the population of the Crimea or other parts of eastern Ukraine, are at risk because of the new government. There is no evidence of this. Military action cannot be justified on the basis of threats that haven't been made and aren't being carried out. There is no evidence, for example, that churches in Eastern Ukraine are being or will be attacked; the allegation is without basis. There is no evidence that ethnic Russians are in danger. On the contrary, the new Ukrainian government has placed a priority on internal reconciliation and political inclusivity. President Turchinov – the acting President – has made clear his opposition to any restriction on the use of the Russian tongue.
No one has to explain to Ukraine's new government the need to have open communications, not only with leaders of the country's Russian ethnic minority in the Crimea and elsewhere, but also with its neighbors. That is why, when the current crisis began, the government sent its former Chief of Defense to the region to try to defuse the situation. A second emissary was prevented from entering the Crimean Rada to engage in discussions. And it is why Ukrainian authorities have repeatedly reached out to Russia. Russia needs to reciprocate and begin to engage directly with the Government of Ukraine.
I note that Russia has implied a right to take military action in the Crimea if invited to do so by the prime minister of Crimea. As the Government of Russia well knows, this has no legal basis. The prohibition on the use of force would be rendered moot were sub-national authorities able to unilaterally invite military intervention by a neighboring state. Under the Ukrainian constitution, only the Ukrainian Rada can approve the presence of foreign troops.
If we are concerned about the rights of Russian-speaking minorities, the United States is prepared to work with Russia and this Council to protect them. We have proposed and wholeheartedly support the immediate deployment of international observers and monitors from the UN or OSCE to ensure that the people about whom Russia expresses such concern are protected from abuse and to elucidate for the world the facts on the ground. The solution to this crisis is not difficult to envision. There is a way out. And that is through direct and immediate dialogue by Russia with the Government of Ukraine, the immediate pull-back of Russia's military forces, the restoration of Ukraine's territorial integrity, and the urgent deployment of observers and human rights monitors, not through more threats and more distortions.
Tonight the OSCE will begin deploying monitors to Ukraine. These monitors can provide neutral and needed assessments of the situation on the ground. Their presence is urgently necessary in Crimea and in key cities in eastern Ukraine. The United States calls upon Russia to ensure that their access is not impeded.
The leadership in Moscow may well be unhappy about former President Yanukovych's decision to flee Ukraine and move in with them. Russia may be displeased with the new government, which was approved by Ukraine's parliament by an overwhelming majority, including members of Yanukovych's own party. Russia has every right to wish that events in Ukraine had turned out differently, but it does not have the right to express that unhappiness by using military force or by trying to convince the world community that up is down and black is white. Russia's calls to turn back time to implement the February 21 Agreement ring hollow. It was Yanukovych who failed to abide by the terms of that agreement, fleeing Kyiv, and ultimately Ukraine.
The United States categorically rejects the notion that the new Government of Ukraine is a "government of victors." It is a government of the people and it is one that intends to shepherd the country toward democratic elections on May 25th – elections that would allow Ukrainians who would prefer different leadership to have their views heard. And the United States will stand strongly and proudly with the people of Ukraine as they chart out their own destiny, their own government, their own future.
The bottom line is that, for all of the self-serving rhetoric we have heard from Russian officials in recent days, there is nothing that justifies Russian conduct. As I said in our last session, Russia's actions speak much louder than its words. What is happening today is not a human rights protection mission and it is not a consensual intervention. What is happening today is a dangerous military intervention in Ukraine. It is an act of aggression. It must stop. This is a choice for Russia. Diplomacy can serve Russia's interests. The world is speaking out against the use of military threats and the use of force. Ukrainians must be allowed to determine their own destiny. Thank you Madam President.

PHILADELPHIA -- Cody Asches rough night in the field ruined Cliff Lees effort on the mound. Luis Jimenez hit a tiebreaking double in the sixth, Matt Shoemaker tossed five effective innings and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Philadelphia Phillies 4-3 on Tuesday night. Lee allowed four unearned runs and six hits, striking out seven in seven innings. He was hurt by Asches three errors at third base. "I know he wasnt doing it on purpose," Lee said. "He had some funky balls hit to him." Mike Trout went 1 for 5 with more than 4,000 fans in the crowd from his hometown of Millville, New Jersey. The two-time All-Star centre fielder grew up in the small town 45 minutes south of Philadelphia. Lee (3-4) took a 2-0 lead into the sixth, but Asches fielding and throwing errors led to four unearned runs. Collin Cowgill led off the inning with a double to left. After Trout struck out, Albert Pujols reached when Asche let his high bouncer go off his glove. Howie Kendrick walked to load the bases. Chris Iannetta then hit a bouncer to Asche, who pulled catcher Carlos Ruiz off the plate with his throw home. Grant Greens sacrifice fly tied it at 2. Jimenez followed with a two-run double on a 3-0 pitch, giving the Angels a 4-2 lead. "Its frustrating, not just for myself, but when you let a team down," Asche said. "Cliff was pitching well. He couldve gone all night." Asche has struggled in his first full season. Hes hitting .226 with a team-high six errors. "The kid had a tough night," Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said. "That can happen. Well continue to work with him. A lot of things have been thrown at him." The Phillies have lost two in a row to fall three games below .500. They blew a 4-1 lead in the ninth in a 5-4, extra-inning loss to the Mets on Sunday. Closer Jonathan Papelbon wasnt available to pitch that day because he was sore after earning saves in the first two games of the series. Papelbon has drawn criticism from fans for not pitching. Sandberg said before the game the team needs its closer to be able to pitch three days in a row. Shoemaker (1-1) allowed two runs and three hits. He made his second career start and first this season. The righty was called up to replace Hector Santiago, who was sent to the bullpen after going 0-6 with a 5.19 ERA in seven starts. Ernesto Frieri pitched the ninth for his fifth save in seven tries. Domonic Brown hit a triple off reliever Fernando Salas and scored on Ruizs sacrifice fly in the seventh to get the Phillies to 4-3. Shoemaker retired his first nine batters before Ben Revere hit a hard single just past second baseman Kendrick. One out later, Chase Utley ripped an RBI triple into the right-field corner to make it 1-0. Angels manager Mike Scioscia challenged the safe call at third, but it was upheld following a replay review that took 3 minutes, 33 seconds. Ryan Howard hit an RBI single through the vacated hole at shortstop for a 2-0 lead. NOTES: The Phillies called up INF Cesar Hernandez from Double-A Reading to take Jayson Nixs spot on the roster. Nix was outrighted to Triple-A on Monday, but chose to become a free agent. ... The Angels optioned RHP Cory Rasmus to Triple-A Salt Lake. ... Sandberg said a Shake Shack hamburger at Citi Field gave him food poisoning during Philadelphias weekend series in New York.... RHP A.J. Burnett (2-2, 2.90 ERA) goes for the Phillies against RHP Garrett Richards (3-0, 2.80) on Wednesday. Custom Kansas City Royals Jerseys . -- Chicago manager Darold Butler has a message for the Windy City. Royals Jerseys China .Mack, a reserve guard who came in averaging 3.8 points, made all six of his 3-pointers as the Hawks went 16 for 28 from behind the arc.Trailing 50-38 midway through the second quarter, Atlanta outscored Cleveland 89-48 the rest of the way and sent the Cavaliers to their largest loss of the season. https://www.cheaproyals.com/ . -- Two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Johan Santana agreed Tuesday to a minor league contract with the Baltimore Orioles as he tries to come back from the second major operation on his left shoulder. Kansas City Royals Pro Shop . -- The way Ted Ligety carved into turns looked so easy. Kansas City Royals Shirts . Damyean Dotson, 19, Dominic Artis, 19 and Brandon Austin, 18, were suspended after the school received a police report concerning allegations made by a student who said she was assaulted by the players in early March.

Submitted by Sabin on
Rubella during pregnancy often results in severe congenital abnormalities. Fortunately, the rubella vaccine has successfully eliminated rubella from the entire Western Hemisphere and Scandinavia. However, rubella continues to occur in much of Europe, in Asia and in Africa, and the WHO estimates that over 100,000 infants are born each year with congenital rubella syndrome. The Sabin Vaccine Institute, together with the March of Dimes, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is undertaking a series of advocacy activities to promote vaccination against rubella throughout the world.
Surprisingly, a significant part of the problem lies in Europe, where both measles and rubella continue to occur.
Over 150 people from 47 countries came together in Rome, Italy to review the latest developments in the fight against rubella and CRS in Europe. Approved presentations from the symposium are available now and a comprehensive proceedings is in production.

Apple's construction of a new store in Madrid uncovered the 15th century ruins of a hospital that treated plague victims, according to a report.
Apple was constructing a basement when it found the outer wall of the hospital, the Los Angeles Times reported. The Buen Suceso hospital and church were torn down in 1854 to make room for a town square, but apparently some ruins remained. The city discovered some of the ruins in 2009 when it created a light rail station.
U.S. & World
"We're not surprised to find these remains because we knew they could be there," Jaime Ignacio Muñoz, director of the Madrid heritage department, told Spanish newspaper El Pais. "The building is located on a historic site and is protected as an area of public cultural interest, so that any action on the ground has to have the approval of the heritage department."
Apple is considering options to preserve the ruins, and likely will protect the wall and "symbolically trace" it, for visitors. Interested onlookers may also get an informational plaque.
It's unlikely such ruins will be found in the New World, so in this instance Apple had to acquiesce to historical agencies. Luckily, Madrid is familiar with such discoveries so the accommodation for Apple will be relatively painless.

Here comes the bride and all those wonderful bridesmaids. Don't forget the cute flower girl, mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom. These days it is so much fun seeing what brides choose to wear and gift. I have had the good fortune of designing custom pieces for several brides over the years. I get excited when the bride wants something out of the ordinary like kyanite and pearls, orange Botswana agate, bold crystal quartz or green jade. I can't wait to see what strikes your fancy. The good news is that pieces such as these have endless styling possibilities. So, unlike the dress, once the wedding is past, your bridesmaids can wear their jewelry pieces for a lifetime and remember the fun and festivity of your wedding.

Ride On: Everything You Need to Know About Bicycling and Spinning
Nick Onken
Your Cycling Guide: The Proper Form
Make sure the brim of your helmet is just two fingers' width above your eyebrows. Then tighten the chin strap so you can fit only one or two fingers between it and your chin.
Beginners, position your handlebars at a height at which your back is bent no more than 45 degrees. "The lower you go, the more aerodynamic you may become, but also the greater the potential strain on your back," says Meaghen Harris, who rides for Liv/giant bicycles. (Tour de France contenders typically set their handlebars inches below seat level for that bent-over, streamlined effect.)
Set your seat height so that you have a 25-degree bend in your knee when your foot is at the bottom of a pedal stroke. This will maximize your pedal power, a study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research found.
Nick Onken
Choose the Right Bike Size
When selecting a bike, height makes right. Brands differ, but use this rule of thumb for frames: As you straddle a road bike just in front of the saddle, you should have at least one inch of clearance from your crotch to the top of the frame. (Allow at least two inches for a mountain bike or a cruiser.)
The Best Bike for Joy Rides
The seven-speed Schwinn Gateway cruiser is perfect for a day in the park. It's got a step-through frame, fat tires, a roomy seat, and high curved handlebars for no-fuss riding. ($200, target.com)
The Best Bike for Commuters
The seven-speed Electra Ticino 7D has a cushy leatherette seat and a step-through aluminum frame for easy — and skirt-friendly — straddling during stops.($650, shops.electrabike.com for retailers)
The Best Hybrid Bike
With a lightweight frame, flat handlebars, and eight simple-to-shift gears, the hybrid Liv/giant Escape City W rules for fitness or fun. ($570, livgiantusa.com for info)
The Best Racing Bike
The aluminum 16-speed Trek Lexa Compact is a good way to go fast. This women-specific model has racing-bike handlebars for different hand positions as you get aerodynamic. ($730, trekbikes.com for info)
The Best Mountain Bike
Riding uneven terrain is a breeze with the lightweight women-specific Specialized Myka HT Sport mountain bike. It has great suspension and fat 26-inch tires with grippy treads. ($580, specialized.com)

How to Fix a Flat
DIY roadside assistance for newbies.
1. Take the wheel out of the bike frame by releasing the brakes (lift the lever by your seat) and flipping open the quick-release lever — that little latch attached to the wheel's axle — then turn your bike over.
2. Wedge the scooplike part of the tire lever from your repair kit in between the wheel's rim and the tire to lift the tire off the rim. (Right, Deluxe Repair and Inflation Seat Bag kit, $33, genuineinnovations.com; innertube sold separately.)
3. Pull the innertube out and, with the patches and rubber cement in the kit (or duct tape, in a pinch), patch any punctures you feel inside the tread.
4. Grab the new innertube from the kit, use your mouth, a mini pump or a CO2 cartridge to slightly inflate the tube, and then feed its valve back through the wheel rim. Stuff the semi-inflated innertube inside the tire.
5. Use the tire lever to gently tuck the tire tread back into the rim; hook the mini pump or CO2 cartridge onto the valve again, and inflate it all the way.

How to Use Cycling Shoes
If you've tried cycling shoes in Spinning class, then you know they make your strokes easier. To take them to the streets, you'll first have to swap your road bike's flat pedals for clipless ones at your local bike shop, which will match them to the cleats on the bottom of your cycling shoes. (To clip in, press your cleat down on the pedal until you hear a click; to clip out, simply kick your heel away from the bike.) "Make sure your cleats fit fairly loosely so it's easy to clip in and unclip," says Olympian and pro cyclist Evelyn Stevens of Team Specialized-Lululemon. Practice in an empty parking lot, clipping in one foot at a time. Once you feel confident, clip in both and go!

How to Shift Properly
Cruising can be confusing when your bike has more gears than you know what to do with. Use this simple decoder from Troy Jacobson, the head triathlon coach of Life Time Fitness, for your smoothest cycling yet.
For starters
Your handlebars have a right shifter, which controls the gears on the rear wheel, and a left shifter, which controls the gears connected to the pedals; changing the gears alters the resistance on your chain, making pedaling easier or harder. The main thing to remember is that if you want a big change, shift on the left; for a smaller change, shift on the right.
For flat roads
Adjust your left and right shifters to a medium resistance, around the middle settings on each, for push behind every pedal stroke.
For uphills
As you approach and before you actually hit an incline, shift your right shifter to a lower gear or number to make it easier to pedal, then shift your left shifter to a lower gear as well. Once at the top, go back to the middle setting on both.
For downhills
If it's a gradual slope, adjust your right shifter to a higher gear. If it's a supersteep drop and your wheels are still spinning a bit out of control, adjust your left shifter to a higher gear as well.
Cycling Tours and Races
The Trek Women Breast Cancer Awareness Ride is a family-friendly 10- or 25-mile cycling tour; it kicks off on October 13 and 14 at Trek retailers throughout the United States and benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. ($25 entry fee, trekbikes.com/trekwomen)

Cycling FAQs
Q. Do I need cycling-specific sunglasses, or will my usual shades do?
A. "A good pair of cycling sunglasses wrap around your head more closely and stay put better than regular shades," says pro triathlete Gwen Jorgensen. But more traditional styles, like the flirty and sturdy Oakley YSC Overtime, provide great protection for casual rides, plus a portion of their sales benefits breast cancer awareness. ($190, oakley.com)
Q. Why do cycling jerseys have to be so fitted?
A. Not only would flapping fabric slow you down, but a billowing shirt would bare your belly button. The sweat-wicking Castelli Perla jersey ($80, castelli.com) makes a snug fit feel like a buttery-soft hug, and it's longer in back for extra coverage.
Q. How do I rock a ponytail while wearing a bike helmet?
A. "I put a ponytail through the back hole of my helmet and then braid it, or I make a messy bun and fit it through,? says pro cyclist Ally Stacher of Team Specialized-Lululemon. This genius lightweight Cannondale Teramo helmet is designed to allow your pony to poke through — finally! ($110, cannondale.com)
Q. Am I supposed to wear undies with my bike shorts?
A. It's up to you, but you're much better off going commando, pro cyclist Stevens says. Bike shorts are padded, and underwear can bunch and chafe on long rides. Try the Pearl Izumi W Symphony knickers, which have a seam-free chamois that prevents the wedgie effect. ($120, pearlizumi.com)
Q. Is there a sneaker that's good for cycling if I'm not ready to clip in?
A. Your best bet is probably a pair of light-hiking or trail-running shoes with a rock plate in the forefoot, says Tom Kuefler, a brand manager for Bontrager, a bike manufacturer. "Look for a relatively stiff outsole," he says. Try Charge RC Storm by Under Armour ($120, ua.com). And when you're ready to switch to clip-ins, go with the beginner-friendly Shimano Click'R CW40 ($90, bike.shimano.com for info), which make it easier to get in and out of your pedals.

Over the past few months, Governor McCrory has been claiming his policies—especially cutting unemployment benefits—are responsible for reducing the state's unemployment rate. He's even branded this the "Carolina Comeback." But as it turns out, the Governor's claims largely rest on treating jobs numbers like fruit—like apples, oranges, and cherries. In fact, the evidence for a Carolina Comeback is just plain rotten, and we're still waiting for a real recovery in the state's jobs market.
Most economists prefer to compare apples to apples by looking at job growth from year to year. And by any comparison of apples, the year stretching from December 2012 to December 2013 was worse than the year before. Specifically, the year between December 2011 and 2012 saw the creation of 89,900 jobs, while the same period in 2013 saw the creation of just 64,500 jobs.
Even worse, over the last year, only three of every ten jobless workers who moved out of unemployment actually moved into a job in 2013. The rest just left the labor force altogether. Since December 2012, the labor force contracted by 66,500 workers, more than 1.5 percent, to the lowest levels in three years. At the same time, only 32,600 unemployed workers found employment. And all this while the state's working age population continued to grow.
All of these hard facts negate the Governor's tired argument that unemployment benefit cuts somehow boosted employment. Backers of this claim argue something like this: Unemployment benefits cuts took effect on June 30, forcing jobless workers to go get a job. As a result, they say, the period from August to December saw the unemployment rate drop from 8.7 percent to 6.9 percent and saw the creation of 57,000 new jobs—far more jobs than were created during the first 6 months of the year. Voila, cutting unemployment benefits created jobs and reduced unemployment.
While we all want unemployment to go down, claims that cuts to unemployment benefits resulted in jobless workers going out and getting jobs are just nutty.
First, the Governor and his allies are comparing apples to oranges when they try to compare changes in employment from one half of the year to the other half. As any good economist will tell you, this kind of interpretation is inaccurate for the simple reason that employment numbers naturally swing from month to month based on seasonal hiring patterns.
As a result, it's virtually impossible to tell whether employment changes from one month to the next were caused by a policy decision or by seasonal hiring patterns. So while the jobs numbers from August to December went up faster than they did from January to June, there's little reason to believe that unemployment benefits cuts were responsible. In fact, the same thing happened in 2012—without any benefits cuts; the second half of the year showed bigger employment growth than the first half.
If mixing apples and oranges weren't bad enough, the Governor and his allies also make the mistake of cherry-picking the jobs numbers from the months they like, while ignoring the months with jobs numbers that weaken their claims. In this case, they start with August, instead of July, the month the benefits cuts actually first took effect. This means their numbers appear to taste a lot sweeter than they really are if we include July.
So what happens if we compare apples to apples over the correct time period? The Governor's claims fall apart. Remember, the Governor's entire argument rests on the idea that his decision to cut unemployment benefits starting June 30 caused something special to happen in the North Carolina job market during the second half of 2013.
But it turns out that the second half of 2013 was decidedly less special than the same period in 2012. If we compare North Carolina's job creation record from the July-to-December 2012 to the same period in 2013, it turns out that 2012 was much better—2012 created 5,000 more jobs and saw the number of employed people grow by 17,000 than the same period in 2013. This means that the Governor's much-touted "comeback" hasn't actually happened yet.
So this is how jobs numbers are like fruit—they help us understand that the Governor's claims about a Carolina Comeback are just plain bananas.

I am a new user here in the Java Forums. I am actually a student at Trine University. I am not searching for any exact code answers, but would appreciate any help on this. I feel we haven't touched on this subject enough in order to write this program, so any help would be greatly appreciated. The program is posted below. I have created the text file and placed it in the correct location and declared it using java.io.File. What other packages should I need to import for this project?
Write a program that reads all records from a file named input.txt in the following format:
studentId studentName gpa
studentId studentName gpa
(studentid is integer, studentName is a two word string and gpa is a double value).
The program should count the number of records read from the file and the average gpa of the class. The program should also count how many students have gpa greater than 3.0. Output all the information in proper format (use DecimalFormat class). Follow the example 6.2 from the textbook to read data from file. Do not make any assumptions about the file other than what is mentioned above.
The file input.txt has to be located in your project folder under Netbeans Projects, so if your project name is Homework5 then file input.txt should be in the folder (Netbeans Projects\Homework5), not inside build directory.
Extra Credit:Find and print the max gpa score
Thanks for any help guys,
-Chris Messersmith

'Unashamedly from a young person's perspective, this work ultimately speaks of our desire for something much more human and honest.'-Oliver Connew
Doesn't it just.
So, contemporary dance is an art form that I've never really 'got'. But, I'm starting to wonder if that's simply because I've never seen any good contemporary dance. I went to the opening show of 'An Unfortunate Willingness to Agree' and found myself engaged in the show in a way that I've not experienced with dance before- it really got me thinking. It certainly helps that the themes dealt with by the piece are all pretty juicy.
The show was inspired by director Oliver Connew's experience of unsatisfactory long-distance communication when his whole family left Wellington and spread across the globe. The show explores these mediums of communication in the context of the political unrest of 2012.
The show begins with a t.v. playing live Al Jazeera, which is so good, I would have been quite satisfied by just watching it for 45 minutes. I was just getting to the point of thinking 'at what point does us sitting here watching the news become awkward?' when the dancers emerged. The 45 minute show moves through a series of phases inspired by different ways humans connect in contemporary times; t.v., newspapers, skype and the internet. Each had its own energy and combined, they leave you with a cocktail of feelings. There was frustration and apathy; disconnection and connection; confusion and peace. The show is excellently paced; frantic and electric with perfectly placed moments of stillness.
There are some beautiful images which are burnt into my mind. Newspapers are an brilliantly diverse prop and these dancers really play with them and come up with some beautiful uses. The added bonus is that if you are someone who would very much enjoy seeing a couple of copies of the New Zealand Herald destroyed, then this is the most beautiful way you could imagine that happening.
This show is striking and unique. If you enjoy thinking about how we connect in contemporary times or you've ever felt frustrated or inspired by it, then this show will speak volumes to you. I feel like I've had and intellectual experience, which I think is probably the first time contemporary dance has done that to me. It's like I've had a really great conversation over a couple of hours and glasses of wine with someone who knows tonnes about the subject and yet, not a word was spoken. I would happily watch it a second time. Well done guys-seriously powerful stuff.

Indian English speakers are tempted to change the spelling of this voluptuous street snack — always spelled Ragda 'Pattice' at eateries in the glorious tradition of street slang– to the more correct ragda "patties.' But I say why spoil a good thing by forcing on it unneeded refinement?
There's nothing proper about this bold, tarty street snack from the swollen crush of Bombay's streets. It is a hodge-podge of random flavors and textures that no cook in their right mind would dream of putting together. There's sweet here and spicy and sour and salty. And then there's creamy and crispy and crunchy and crumbly. The final result is lush genius on a plate.
In Bombay, you can buy Ragda Pattice at the open stalls and carts lining the city's long beaches and eat it standing right there, your feet burrowing into the soft sand and the sea breeze whipping your hair into a salty tango. Or, if you're worried about hygiene and all that annoying stuff that gets between a foodie and his/her indulgences, you can order it at one of the city's restaurants.
When I lived in Bombay, one of our go-to places after work was Vithal's, a restaurant in the maze-like Fort area. Vithal's offered almost every snack invented by the ingenious food hawkers of the city's streets, and although you were sitting in an air-conditioned room that sealed you off from the humidly oppressive heat, the raucous laughter and voices of people young and old at the tables around you could easily make you think you were actually out there.
I had one colleague who never ordered anything at Vithal's but Ragda Pattice. She was that person who, although a vegetarian since birth, ate no vegetables other than potatoes (doesn't everyone know someone like that?). And although I can't think of a veggie I don't love, I can easily see why Malathy was so obsessed with the mighty Ragda Pattice.
The pattice in Ragda Pattice are two flat patties made of nothing but boiled and mashed potatoes, salt and green chillies, which are then pan-fried to golden perfection. The patties are placed atop a white-pea sauce, or the ragda. White peas are not actually white but rather beige, with a flavor that's perfectly neutral and therefore perfectly wonderful for this dish, because here's the secret to a perfect Ragda Pattice: you want the two building blocks — the ragda and the patties– to be as mildly flavored as possible without being bland. That way they can provide the perfect backdrop for all those delicious toppings that go on, like the sweet-spicy-sour tamarind sauce, the crispy, savory sev (tiny yellow squiggles of chickpea flour you can buy in a packet at an Indian store), the pungent onion and the lemony, leafy coriander.
Just so you get the full effect of eating the Ragda Pattice, I wanted to share with you a video of the streets of Bombay, shot beautifully and true to life in this evocative song from a late '70s movie, Gaman. It's the city through the eyes of one of those cabbies who ferry passengers around in little yellow and black cabs. The streets of Bombay today are perhaps more crowded and certainly more choked up with cars of foreign make, but you will get the idea. The gentle, pensive voice in the song belongs to Suresh Wadkar who, before he hit the big time, briefly taught music at my school, Arya Vidya Mandir. We kids would call him "Wadkar sir" and he was a really sweet guy.
Finally, here's the recipe for this perfect comfort snack that's impossible for even the finickiest eater to resist. Enjoy your weekend, all!

Ragda Pattice
- For Ragda (White Pea Curry)
- 1 cup dried white peas (you can find these at any Indian store). Soak for about 6-8 hours or overnight and then cook until tender, either in a pressure cooker or on the stovetop. To cook on the stovetop, cover with water, bring to a boil, and simmer until tender, making sure that the peas are covered with water all the time.
- 1 tsp ginger and garlic paste (you can even skip this, but don't use more than this because like I said before, you don't want a too-strong taste to your ragda)
- 1 onion , minced
- 1 tsp chaat masala (also available at Indian stores)
- 1/4 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp canola or other vegetable oil
- For Pattice:
- 4 medium russet potatoes , boiled in their jackets, then peeled and mashed
- 2 green chillies , finely minced
- 1/4 cup cornflour
- Salt to taste
- Oil or oil spray to coat the bottom of a skillet
- For Chutney:
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup chopped dates (make sure you take out the pits)
- 2 tbsp tamarind paste or a ball of deseeded tamarind , about the size of a lemon (adjust this up or down depending on whether you like your sauce sweet or really tangy)
- 2 tbsp jaggery (an unrefined Indian sugar sold in blocks at Indian stores)
- 1/2 tsp cumin , roasted until a couple of shades darker, then ground to a fine powder
- 1/4 tsp red chilli powder
- Salt to taste
- Toppings:
- 1 cup fine sev (found at Indian grocery stores)
- 1 onion minced , mixed with 1/2 cup finely chopped coriander
- Make Ragda:
- Heat the oil in a skillet and add the onions. Saute over medium heat, adding a little salt, so the onions sweat and turn translucent but don't brown.
- Add the ginger garlic paste and give it a stir for about a minute to cook the paste.
- Add the red chilli powder, turmeric powder and chaat masala, stir to coat with the oil.
- Add the white peas and stir together. Add water if the gravy is too thick, because you want it to be fairly runny. Add salt. Bring to a boil, then turn off the heat.
- Make Patties:
- Mix the potatoes and other ingredients and form into flat patties, about 2 inches in diameter. I got 14 out of mine, but your results could depend on the size of the potatoes you use.
- Heat the skillet, coat the bottom with a thin veneer of oil and, when hot, place the patties about an inch apart. Let each patty cook about 2-3 minutes on medium heat or until the surface is a rich golden-brown. Flip over and cook the other side.
- Make Chutney:
- Place all the chutney ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to a simmer, then cook, stirring, about 8-10 minutes or until all ingredients are really soft
- Place in a blender and add more water if necessary. Blitz. You should have a fairly runny sauce.
- Finish:
- To build you plate of Ragda Pattice, pour some of the ragda into a plate. Place two patties on it, then top with the tamarind chutney followed by the onion-coriander mix and finally with the sev.
- Enjoy!

This place is on the Niagara Falls Boulevard right in front on the Boulevard mall In Buffalo, NY. I worked here for awhile and can tell you first hand the owners will lie to you to make a buck. The less you know the better for them. I am an honest installer and I get it that you have to make money but when you charge $60.00 an hour shop time just to make the customer wait for us to change a fuse. We let the car sit in the shop while nothing was being done to it just so they make $60.00. They sell cheap *** boxes and customers come back when the box breaks and they lie to them. **** work **** people **** owners. Period. There was 3 owners and the only 1 who seemed like a good guy I heard left. Doesnt have anything to do with the place. So I know its only gotten worse. Bet there still stealing from people to make money. I wonder how long it will last. They have pulled out a gun on there customers before once and beat up an employee out back for stealing from them. yea its not right to steal but other way to handle business. Just shows you the kind of people they are. Hope you save a headache. Custom Radio! ftw
