Because freedom can't protect itself.
When former White House counterterrorism advisor John Brennan went before the Senate in early February for his confirmation hearing to lead the CIA, he made a startling admission. After reading the 300-page summary of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence's (SSCI) mammoth 6,000-page report on the CIA's post-9/11 detention and interrogation program, Brennan's belief in the life-saving value of the torture program was shaken.
Last week's Washington Post report that the CIA had requested that Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev be placed on a terrorist watch list raises an interesting point about total surveillance societies: in addition to all their negative implications for citizens, they actually bring some disadvantages for the authorities as well.
It's not clear what information the CIA's request was based upon, but reportedly it came from Russian authorities. It is also possible that Tsarnaev's communications were flagged by US agencies such as the NSA. Either way, it seems as though there's a real possibility that Tamerlan's name came to the attention of the authorities through some dragnet-style surveillance technique.
If so, the conundrum for the authorities is this:
A video meant to be presented at yesterday's dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum featured Condoleezza...
Update (5/7/2013): CIA Director John Brennan has replaced the acting head of the CIA's National Clandestine Service, who is also the subject of this blog post. This important news hopefully signals Brennan's commitment to enforcing the letter and spirit of President Obama's executive order banning the use of torture, abuse, and secret prisons.
This post originally appeared on Politico.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit recently ruled that the Central Intelligence Agency may no longer refuse to acknowledge something that everyone knows to be true: the agency has "an interest" in the use of drones to carry out targeted killings. The CIA is unaccustomed to courts rejecting its secrecy claims, but in asking the courts to pretend that the agency might have no connection whatsoever to the targeted killing program, the agency dramatically overreached. Unsurprisingly, the appeals court was unwilling to give its "imprimatur to a fiction of deniability that no reasonable person would regard as plausible."
Should we be happy or worried that the CIA may, someday soon, no longer be able to order a drone pilot to shoot a Hellfire...
In the Guantánamo Bay military commissions, the ACLU is persisting in its fight against the government's legally and morally untenable claim that it can censor from the public the 9/11 defendants' personal experiences and memories of torture, rendition, and detention by the CIA. This week, we filed a reply brief responding to the government's arguments in support of censorship.
In an important victory for transparency, a federal appeals court today put an end to the CIA's absurd claims that it "cannot confirm or deny"...
The government is increasingly relying on a national security pretext to bolster its secrecy claims, an Associated Press report released yesterday reveals. Analysis conducted by the news agency shows that the Obama administration cited legal exemptions to deflect requests for records under the Freedom of Information Act more often in 2012 than in any previous year.

Trained in the Geneva Conventions and the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the military interrogators and guards who tortured and dehumanized prisoners in U.S. custody after 9/11 were hardly without ethical bearings. But as Alberto Mora, former chief counsel of the Navy, predicted when he discovered Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld had authorized previously banned interrogation techniques,

Mortgage Announcement Was an Exercise in Spin
Of course, now it's out there, the whole thing is beginning to unravel. Margaret Beckett is flailing around, clearly unready to answer the questions which are fairly predictable. The banks are making clear they are pretty hacked off at being bounced by Gordon Brown - again.
None of this is to say that in principle, such a scheme might not be a good idea. But the worst thing you can do is announce something which hasn't been thought through properly, is relatively uncosted, does not have the full backing of the banks and looks like a dog's breakfast.
Dizzy is rather more scathing.

I think the agenda of this govt is such that the support of the banks is not that significant to the PM. That may appear surprising but the whole thrust of govt policy in response to the current crisis to date has been to defy the market and increase state control. As each of its policies fails to achieve what the govt intended, it will increase state control even further. Unless the govt realises the futility of this approach more and more private decisions - including those of the banks - will be subject to legislation and excecutive powers further worsening our economic prospects.
In effect this is the old "price control v market" argument which is again rearing its head after a lapse of 30-odd years. That said the govt is not engaging in the debate. Instead it is using cheap jibes - e.g., Tories = do nothing party - to support its approach and rational debate is being increasingly sidelined. By all means do sthg but let it be sthg that is constructive which doesn't ignore basic economic laws and will actually help us get out of this mess rather than leave us wallowing in recession for however many years. - December 04, 2008 10:15 am

This is 'back of a fag packet' economics. What right has the Government got to take MY money and use it to underwrite someone elses mortgage? This is why I've been paying mortgage protection for the last 10 years. Why should I be responsible for other people who have overstretched themselves, who haven't been prudent? Should I just cancel my insurance now?
Make no bones about Iain, this political grandstanding on a truly malignant scale, because by setting in place a 2 year term Brown has effectively lumbered the next Government with a massive problem. I am actually starting to think the Conservatives might be better off throwing the next election and let Brown wallow in the s**t he is creating. Of course, the problem then is if Labour are allowed to win I seriously doubt there will be much of a country left to run. - December 04, 2008 10:16 am

"A minister rapidly promoted by Gordon Brown is a former Treasury civil servant who was once prime suspect in a leak inquiry.
Government whip Helen Goodman wrote a secret report that embarrassed the former Conservative government when it fell into the hands of Gordon Brown, then shadow chancellor.
The curious leak of the report - Ms Goodman says she was cleared by her formerbosses - is being dragged up by Whitehall officials because it shows how dramatically the Prime Minister's attitude to leaks has changed.
Mr Brown had no hesitation in publishing the leaked report on the eve of a major economic debate in the Commons in the summer of 1996. It embarrassed the then-chancellor, Kenneth Clarke.
The report forecast, among other things, the privatisation of pensions by and welfare benefits.
When not working at the Treasury under her maiden name of Helen Goodman, the report's author was an ambitious Labour politician using her married name of Helen Seaford.
Oxford-educated Ms Goodman left the Treasury in 1997 and worked for charities until gaining the safe Labour seat of Bishop Auckland in 2005. She was promoted to deputy Commons leader under Harriet Harman when Mr Brown became leader in 2007. This autumn she moved to the whips office."

For Brown to announce a bank package that the banks haven't even signed up to yet is outrageous and an appalling example of how Brown is using the current crisis to spin his way out of electoral trouble.
- December 04, 2008 10:26 am
- Alex said...
Of course it was never signed. Forget about 90% of the market signing up to such a deal. You wouldn't get some of those banks to agree to such a deal in months.
British politicians have an unfortunate habit of announcing deals as agreed before they are signed, which often means that the government has to make concessions before the deal is signed.
This is a whole order of magnitude worse. It seems that in the Mendacious World of Mandelson and Brown, all you have to do is pick up the phone or turn up to a meeting to be deemed to have signed an agreement.
Now watch the banks push back while the government threatens them with nationalisation. - December 04, 2008 10:29 am

This was an exercise in securing the folllowing day's headlines. Nada mas nada menos. This is all labour ever does. Spin, spin and spin a little more.
We now live in an economic fantasy world where no-one is responsible for their actions. What an utter farce. What a terrible message to send to younger people.
I was taught to spend no more than I could afford, to put money aside for a rainy day and, if I took on credit, be damn sure that I could repay it.
Brown allowed a spending binge to develop through a total lack of control of the financial services industry. Individuals and companies jumped on the borrowing bandwagon, as did the government using the unlimited credit of the taxpayer.
Now the shit has hit the fan Brown's nanny state rides to the rescue showering money, taxpayer money, in every direction.
I'm sorry for anyone who has difficulty meeting their mortgage repayments but why should people who have lived within their means pay for this measure because pay we will through higher taxes/increased government borrowing funded by the taxpayer.
Brown has practised the politics of heads I win, tails you lose. Whichever way he spins the coin, he wins.
It's time to go Mr Brown. You and your acolytes in Labour have ruined the economy.

The audio of 'Rakta Charitra' directed by Ram Gopal Varma and produced by Madhu Mantena is ready for release into the market on September 26. Ram Gopal Varma prepared a story based on the real life story of Paritala Ravi and the film is being simultaneously made in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi languages.
As the length of the story is beyond the permissible time, the director decided to release them in two parts in a gap of 50 days. Vivek Oberoi, Surya, Radhika Apte, Priyamani, Aziz Khan are in the lead, while music is scored by Dharma Sandeep.
The speciality of the audio is that Ram Gopal Varma too rendered a song in the album for the first time. The producer is making efforts to release the film in October.

It's been seven years since the third edition of From Asparagus to Zucchini , the nationally recognized fresh-food resource book and go-to for farmers' market customers and Community Supported Agriculture members, was issued. The significant growth in the local food sector has inspired the Madison Area CSA Coalition to develop a new cookbook. Farm-Fresh and Fast (working title) will feature a selection of all-new, community-contributed recipes designed for home chefs to prepare in under an hour.
Recipes are currently being solicited from the public through a recipe contest. Interested participants should send in their original recipes that feature fresh, local produce and are ready to serve in under 60 minutes. Contributions will continue to be accepted through October 31st.
This contest is open to all, and multiple submissions are welcome. Everyone who submits a recipe will receive a discount code for purchasing the new cookbook at 10% off the retail price. Authors of recipes selected for publication will be credited next to their recipes in the book. Authors of the ten top-rated entries selected by a tasting team will receive a free copy of the cookbook upon publication.
Complete contest details and an online submission form are available at http://www.csacoalition.org/news/recipe-contest/.
For over nineteen years, the Madison Area CSA Coalition has worked with Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) growers and farm members to link people who care about the food they eat to local farmers who follow organic growing practices. We envision a future where CSA is the backbone of a strong local food system; where all families have access to locally produced, organic food and have strong connections to their farms, food, and community.

MONTREAL – Organizers of an exhibition tennis event are hoping the rising star power of Milos Raonic and Genie Bouchard will help fill the Bell Centre for a night.
Raonic, Canada's top-ranked men's player of all time at No. 15, and Wimbledon junior champion Bouchard will take on opponents yet to be determined at the Montreal Rendez-Vous on March 18.
"It was a delightful opportunity because I've tried to do the same thing in Toronto to help the sport grow," Raonic said at the announcement on Monday. "Tennis is difficult.
"You don't know how results and schedules will play out, so if you have something pre-set in advance and advertised well, it's pretty special. It gives an opportunity not only for tennis fanatics but sports fans in general to come out and see us play."
Players and organizers spoke of top talent like Jo-Wilfried Tsonga or even Roger Federer as possible opponents for Raonic and Serena Williams or Maria Sharapova for Bouchard, but it remains to be seen who they will face.
"Anyone's special," said 18-year-old Bouchard, the Westmount, Que., native who won junior titles in singles and doubles at Wimbledon and is now tackling a pro career. "I'll see how I do against an opponent like that.
"After the off-season, I'll start again in January and play lots of pro tournaments and hopefully I'll be a better player than I am now."
The event is run by StarGames, Madison Square Garden and local promoter Evenko. The event started last year with former stars like Andre Agassi and Ivan Lendl and drew 8,200 fans.
"We know that the 2013 version, headlined by Milos Raonic, will be even more compelling to the Montreal market," StarGames president Jerry Solomon said.
"It'll be top level, world class players. Some of them are players who have played for us in other events. It's a great date on the international tennis calendar. They have a few days off between Indian Wells and Miami, so it works well for them."
Solomon said a similar event is going into its sixth year in New York and he plans to announce a third one in another city on another continent soon.
The 21-year-old Raonic, of Thornhill, Ont., is coming off a pair of singles wins as Canada downed a depleted South Africa squad 4-1 on the weekend to keep its place in the top-level World Group for next year.
It's unusual that Canada won its Davis Cup tie despite losing the doubles match, as veteran doubles ace Daniel Nestor was Canada's strong point before Raonic's rise in singles rankings. Vasek Pospisil and Frank Dancevic, as well as Wimbledon and U.S. Open junior champion Filip Peliwo, give Canada added depth in singles.
"To be honest, it's singles that gets all the limelight and attention," said Raonic. "It's singles performances that are going to help the sport grow, especially here in Canada."
The tennis event could get even greater attention if the NHL lockout that began at midnight on Saturday drags through the winter.
"I think so, but there's still quite a bit of talk going on about the lockout, so that will take a bit of time,' said Raonic. "It's definitely a good opportunity, but at the same time, it's an opportunity that's not going to be there consistently.
"Maybe we can use it to grow, but I'd want tennis to become a tradition where it doesn't depend on hockey being locked out, where it can grow on its own and hold it's own."

I have no idea how game play would be because I don't play games online. I would recommend if you do buy this to upgrade the memory or even install a SSD for a faster boot up and possibly increase the speed in downloads from music or other sites. And also I would upgrade the security software to Norton 360 or some other well know security software. And uninstall any software you think you would not use.

Zynga shares continue to disappoint
The online game developer hasn't been able to match its IPO price lately.
The online game developer, known for its "Mafia Wars" and "FarmVille" franchises, saw shares drop 9% Monday to just $8 -- 20% below its IPO price of $10 a share.
Is Zynga getting a bad rap? After all, as Forbes points out, Zynga owns the top five games played on Facebook in terms of daily active users. About 95% of its revenue comes from Facebook, in fact. But being popular on Facebook is a far cry from having the steady, growing profit stream that investors like to see.
Check out the following video for more investor concerns about Zynga.
Post continues below.
Zynga is now trapped in a cash death spiral. Forbes' Dave Thier writes that every dollar the company makes is going to cost more than the one that came before it.
Perhaps no one is feeling the pain more than Morgan Stanley (MS), which revealed last week that it owns some 16 million class A shares of Zynga, or 16% of the company. On top of that, Morgan Stanley's mutual funds bought 5.3 million Zynga shares for about $14 each -- and probably thought they were getting a great deal.
Zynga is trying to move beyond Facebook, and last week unveiled a new word game called "Scramble with Friends." It's another title for users who love Zynga's other games, "Words with Friends" and "Hanging with Friends."
One analyst estimates that Zynga ended the year with about 5% fewer users on Facebook compared with 2010. Another bad sign.
Analyst Ben Schachter with the Macquarie Group has more bad news. Only 2.2% of Zynga's 150 million users actually pay for the games, he wrote. That doesn't bode well for a company trying to compete with new game offerings from Apple (AAPL) and other competitors.
I've heard people argue that investors just don't understand Zynga. They aren't playing "Mafia Wars" all day, and they can't see the appeal that Zynga's games have. But what investors do understand are subscriber growth and revenue trends. If they aren't going in the right direction, Zynga shares will head south and never come back.
Zynga's best days might already have passed.
Tags: | AAPLKim PetersonMSZNGA |
I've only been playing Zynga games for a short period of time In my opinion their prices are too high for what you get. Look at farmville, you can get a cute virtual horse for 96 farmville cash. Depending on the deal you get that could equal out to $10 to $30 of real money.
The other thing I think that holds people back is the fact they change the value of Farmville cash from real cash. I have a store and if I took ten dollars from people when they walked in and gave them 30 store cash and then charged them 30 store cash for a $10 item they would feel like they are getting ripped off. They would feel like they were spending $30 real money, It's psychological but that's just how it works.
Just my 2 cents worth :)

there was also "fitness walking" where you get to... walk around the campus. hahaha.
^ May walking?! Kala ko UP lang meron nun! AdMU didn't have that anymore when I entered. Running na lang..
yup. walking. but i think they eventually replaced it with orienteering... where you still got to walk but this time using compasses and maps and landmarks, etc.
hi! I'm planning to take Taekwondo since I kind of have a background with it already Can you guys tell me what it's like to have it as a PE class? Thanks
Plano ko talaga basketball eh. Pero masarap ata mag soccer at tap-dance, parang Happy Feet.
Quoting my friends, "Tap dance is hell"
Super! Parating masakit paa ng friend ko nun Pero I didn't take it up as PE. I had Self Defense and Tai Chi
Anybody who took up running as his/her PE class here? Balak ko kasi ituloy yung running ko nagstart ako this summer... Third batch ako sa random number ko. Tingin niyo may slot pa ako nun? Thanks
Super awesome self-defense and super badass din ni sir Gialogo Mukha siyang nakakapagod, pero not really. Medyo chill nga sometimes eh. Aircon pa classroom (pag yung MPR makuha mong room). Girls and boys will be separated into different classes of course. Girls will have the additional rape defense. It will become awkward especially kapag di mo kilala partner mo. Haha! Specially pagdating sa ground grappling. Yung mga mounting and stuff Pero all in all, it really is a good PE and you will learn a lot.

Consumers Businesses
If you are a manufacturer, importer, distributor, and/or retailer of consumer products, you have a legal obligation to immediately report the following types of information to the CPSC: a defective product that could create a substantial risk of injury to consumers or a product that is otherwise unreasonably hazardous or dangerous for consumers; a product that fails to comply with an applicable consumer product safety rule or with any other rule, regulation, standard, or ban under the CPSA (pdf) or any other statute enforced by the CPSC; a product that a child (regardless of age) chokes on, such as a marble, small ball, balloon, or small part; and that, as a result of the incident, the child dies, suffers serious injury, ceases breathing for any length of time, or is treated by a medical professional; or certain types of lawsuits (applies to manufacturers and importers only, subject to the time periods detailed in Sec. 37 of the CPSA.) Failure to fully and immediately report this information may lead to substantial civil or criminal penalties. The CPSC has compiled a handbook (pdf) for businesses that manufacture, import, distribute, retail, or otherwise sell consumer products. The handbook provides more detail about the exact legal requirements for businesses filing reports under sections 15(b) and 37 of the CPSA, 15 U.S.C. § 2064(b) and § 2084, and Section 102 of theChild Safety Protection Act (pdf), Pub. L. 103-267. In addition, the handbook provides information to assist businesses in learning how to recognize potentially hazardous consumer products as soon as possible. The handbook also assists firms that discover they have manufactured, imported, distributed, or retailed such products to develop and implement "corrective action plans" to address the hazards. The term "corrective action plan" (CAP) generally includes any type of remedial action taken by a firm. A CAP, for example, could provide for the return of a product to the manufacturer or retailer for a cash refund or a replacement product; for the repair of a product; and/or for public notice of the hazard. A CAP may include multiple measures that are necessary to protect consumers. Commission staff refers to corrective actions as "recalls" because the public and media recognize and respond more readily to that description.

REGINA — If you drive in Saskatchewan, there's a chance your insurance rates will increase come August.
Because of rising injury costs and a shortage of cash in its Auto Fund, SGI is proposing a 1.23 per cent surcharge on rates.
It submitted its plan to the Saskatchewan Rate Review Panel today and expects word back from the government by June.
If the panel gives the proposal the go-ahead, 57 per cent of Saskatchewan drivers will see an increase (on average, about $28 each year) and 42 per cent will see a reduction (on average, $25).
The rest — about 10,000 vehicles — will see no change.
Motorcyclists, though, are likely to be unimpressed with the news that their premium increases will be uncapped, and will go up by an average of 73 per cent.
The reasoning behind that, says SGI, is that motorcycle owners are paying far too little to cover the costs of their at-fault accident claims.
It's the first time SGI has introduced a surcharge on its rates.
Electoral fraud occurred during the last federal election, a federal court judge ruled on Thursday, but there is no proof that it affected the outcomes...

Just moved from Duluth Minnesota 2 months ago, now residing in Houston TX to get away from those conditions. It was 72 and overcast, but a great day. Duluth was up to 9 inches of snow since yesterday and its still falling. I don't miss the snow shovel.
I hope that what ever the weather is where you are you are safe and happy.

Testy Foreign Language-Exchange Mars Academy Love-Fest
May, 04, 2013 4:04 pm | Comments On #Academy Awards, Awards, dawn hudson, hawk koch, oscarsSaturday's unprecedented three-city meeting of more than 1,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was a first for the Academy – and a virtual love-fest aside from tensions over foreign language nomination process and the larger issue of tranparency.
"I was very excited and moved by the amount of love in the room," said AMPAS president Hawk Koch told TheWrap on Saturday afternoon, less than an hour after wrapping up the simultaneous meetings in Beverly Hills, New York and Emeryville in the Bay Area.
That love, though, did not extend to the entire program, which included at least one exchange about the Academy's foreign-language system...

The announcement came at the first AMPAS-wide membership meeting, a presentation and forum that took place simultaneously in Beverly Hills, New York City and Emeryville in the San Francisco Bay Area.
AMPAS also announced a similar change to the rules in the Best Documentary Short category. TheWrap had revealed that change in March.

May, 03, 2013 9:25 am | Comments On #deepa mehta, independent film, indies, Midnight's Children, Movies, Salman rushdieSalman Rushdie's novel "Midnight's Children" is a sprawling book that its author has described as a "love letter to India" -- a chronicle of the country's birth and occasionally troubled history as experienced by a boy born at the stroke of midnight as the country gained its independence on Aug. 15, 1947.
The novel's scope made it difficult to adapt into a film, and so did the notoriety of its author in the Islamic world: A planned BBC miniseries version of the book in the 1990s was canceled because of anti-Rushdie protests from the Muslim community in Sri Lanka, where it was going to be filmed.

It stars a couple of people with lots of history inhabiting other people's lives: Oscar-winner Colin Firth as the title character, a middle-aged man who fakes his own death so that he can give himself a different name and a different life, and "Looper" star Emily Blunt as a fragile young woman with her own secrets.
The film premiered at last September's Toronto International Film Festival, and is being released on Friday by Cinedigm -- with an unusual tie-in with the peer-to-peer site BitTorrent, which made the first 10 minutes of the movie available to users.

KNOX residents' interest in reconciliation is stronger than in many other communities, an Aboriginal advocate believes.
Ray Higgs is the chairman of Towards Reconciliation in Knox and his comments followed a report to a council meeting this month examining the possibility of erecting a sculpture in Knox to acknowledge the wrongdoings towards Aboriginal people.
Cr Joe Cossari had called for the report at a June council meeting and the next stage is to consult with the local Aboriginal community.
Mr Higgs said he thought the idea was excellent as long as all the right protocols of consultation had been followed, and an Aboriginal artist was commissioned.
"The Sorry Day ceremony in May is always very well attended, compared to other communities," he said. "There is a strong interest by the community towards reconciliation."
Mr Higgs said he thought a sculpture would be appropriate, although he didn't want to restrict the work of the future artist. "I would like to see it outside because that is indicative of Aboriginal culture. Perhaps in a park in a prominent place, maybe near Knox City [shopping centre] to be well noticed and make a statement," he said.
Cr Cossari told the Weekly he would like to see the community and businesses fund the artwork, rather than the council. Mr Higgs agreed with the sentiment.
There was some debate at this month's meeting over the wording of the recommendations — specifically whether the word 'wrongdoings' should be included.
Mr Higgs said: "I don't mind if it acknowledges the injustices of the past, as long as it also has a positive focus. It should acknowledge the contributions they have made to the continent by caring for the environment and land — then and now."
Cr Cossari denied his suggestion was an election stunt and said it was an issue he had been passionate about for a long time.
During his time as a councillor in Maroondah, he commissioned some Aboriginal artwork which hung in the council offices before being moved to Ringwood Federal Estate.
In the lead-up to next month's council elections, the Weekly requires letters and comments on municipal issues submitted for publication, whether online or in print, to carry the author's or commentator's full address and telephone number, for purposes of verification only. The Weekly reserves the right to exclude material that is not fully identified. The editor's decisions will be final.

Iraq 10 Years Later
Ten years after the war began in Iraq, UN Dispatch looks at the current situation.
Iran bans Afghan and Iraqi Refugees from Moving to Regions for Employment
Iran's National Organization for Educational Testing has banned Afghans, Iraqis and, in some instances, other foreign nationals from residing in certain provinces and enrolling in certain courses of study. The new ban affects Afghan refugees most severely and seems to apply uniformly to immigrants with and without documentation.
Iraq War Facts and Figures

Why We Need an International Treaty on Private Military Contractors
Private military contractors are poised to take an increasingly large role in Iraq, but serious questions remain about how they will be held responsible for their actions. One obvious answer is an international convention.
Researchers: At Least 137,000 Civilians Dead In Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan
A new estimate by researchers at Brown University claims that at least 137,000 civilians have died during tens years of war in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq. This likely under-counts the true human cost of war.
Violence at Camp Ashraf in Iraq
Camp Ashraf is an Iranian refugee camp in Iraq. In January 2009, responsibility for security of the camp was turned over from Americans to Iraqi forces. Since then, it has experienced several violent raids by Iraqi military forces.

Peter Jackson Has Finished Shooting The Hobbit
The heroes and villains of Middle-earth are one step closer to returning to theatres, because director Peter Jackson has finished principal photography on his two Hobbit movies. Jackson filmed both projects back-to-back, and the massive shoot lasted 266 days.
The first of movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, will hobble into cinemas on December 14. The second movie, titled The Hobbit: There and Back Again, will follow a year after that. Both movies were filmed in 3D at 48 frames per second, as opposed to the usual 24. It remains to be seen if mainstream audiences will accept the unfamiliar frame rate.
Writing on his official Facebook page, Jackson also confirmed that he will be at the San Diego Comic-Con next week.

Cooking From Every Angle
Gin Fruit and Brandy Fruit
FOLLOW-UP: After a week or so of letting the fruit soak in the gin and brandy, here's what I found: I prefer the gin, which has a crispness that brandy lacks. However, I liked the flavor of ginger and star anise better than cloves and cinnamon, so next year I plan to combine the two -- gin with ginger and star anise. As my mother pointed out, the fruit really is best between weeks 1 and 3, so if you're making the fruit to serve on a particular day, plan accordingly. And as for what to serve it with, I'd suggest passing it alongside a cheese course, spooning it over ice cream or cake (with some of the macerating liquid!), or adding it toward the end of cooking roast pork.
Most years, in early December, my mother starts making a jar of gin fruit for the holidays. Her recipe is mindlessly simple -- layer your favorite dried fruits with some spices, cover with booze -- so I thought I'd play around with two variations to see which I prefer. I hope you'll join me in this experiment.
With the first jar of fruit (I used dried figs, prunes, apricots, cherries and raisins), I employed my mother's traditional aromatics, cinnamon stick and cloves. And I've added one additional ingredient: clementine peel. This jar was filled with Bombay gin.
With the second jar of fruit, I used the same fruit, but layered it with star anise, fresh ginger and clementine peel, and covered it with brandy (until the bottle ran out) and Hine Cognac.
Now all there is to do is wait a week. I think it's ok to sneak a few tastes before then, don't you?
My mother pointed out that you may need to replenish the gin and brandy after a day or two, as the fruit soaks up the alcohol. And the fruit is best consumed within a few weeks, before the fruit's sugars begin turning the booze to syrup.
Let me know if you give it a try!

I made and really like this "Fruit Cocktail." I didn't have enough brandy for my third jar of fruit, so I used 2 parts Kirsch (cherry brandy) to one part regular brandy. The results are fabulous! It doesn't really taste like cherry but it tastes divine. I skipped the star anise, thinking it might be just a bit too complex. I'll probably test that next year . . . . or next month! I like the gin version a lot, but in the next batch, I plan to use lime peel instead of orange, because I really like lime with gin. Will definitely serve one batch with roast pork, and will make my mother's sour cream cake to accompany the other, for one of our dinner parties this month. This one is a keeper!!

I made two batches of the gin version, but wasn't sure what I was going to do with it . . . . . but then today, I decided to spread the love around . . . . so I put stuffed fruit and liquid into half-size (4 oz.) Ball canning jars to use in the center of the plates of cookies and truffles I'll be distributing after dinner to our friends in the neighborhood. I labelled them with this: Fruit "Cocktail" (Gin + Fruit) -- ENJOY!! I tasted it, too. Delightful!!

We've done this with aquavit and raspberries, I think. It turned a beautiful pale maroon color and pretty potent by Xmas having added the fruit at the end of the summer. Headed to Sahadi's tomorrow to stock up on dried fruit.

When I was young, in the 1960s, my mother put pineapple chunks in a shallow bowl, douse with gin and partially freeze. I recall she said she found the recipe in a woman's magazine and attributed it to Mary Moon Hemingway. I've searched the internet for it but have never found it.

I have also made Maida Heatter's gin-soaked chocolate cookies. They are pretty tasty, if I remember. However, your recipe reminded me that I didn't make Plum Gin this year, which is something I usually do but just seem to have forgotten this summer. You get some really nice ripe summer plums, stab them all over with a fork, cram as many as you can fit into a bunch of mason jars, add a few tablespoons of sugar to the jar and then cover with gin. Then you shake up the jars to dissolve the sugar and then let them sit until Christmas-time. Strain through a seive (throw away the plums--they don't taste like anything and are mushy by this time) and decant into bottles and give away. The gin turns a lovely blush pink color and is lightly sweet and aromatic and doesn't really taste like plums but is really, really good. I got the recipe from a friend years ago whose parents are English so I guess I've been making sloe gin which they do there. It make a nice cordial on its own or you can make a fizz out of it or whatever you want. Gin and fruit: one of my favorite combos...

Mmmmmm, DinnerBelle, this sounds so scrumptious! I've already transcribed your instructions and made a calendar entry for next July, when plums arrive at our Farmers' Market. Thank you!

The ideas for the use of this fruit is, well endless and I just so happen to have saved some peels from sour oranges, which has the taste of oranges times 5 and since this is the holiday's I'm thinking of adding dried cranberries to the party

I'm fascinated with the idea of gin soaking fruits. It never occured to me to soak them in anything but brandy or brandy-like liquors. Gin! Juniper! What an idea! I'm trying this tomorrow with whatever dried fruit I haven't made into a cookie. Is this a Dutch recipe? Scandinavian?

I just made a big beautiful jar with... cognac. All the brandy is gone (damn eggnog) so I had to improvise. Will report back! :)

My Dad, the canner, and I will definitely give this a try this weekend. Have you ever baked with the fruit after it's been marinating for a while? Like the way people bake with whiskey soaked prunes, etc?

Wow. Marrying the juniper berry flavor of gin with the dried fruits of autumn this way is brilliant!! It's one of those combinations that makes you ask yourself, "Now why didn't I ever think of that?!!" I adore a gin and tonic, but only on a hot evening at the beach, where the salty smell of the ocean somehow makes it taste so darn good. I don't even own a bottle of gin here at home, but that is going to change this weekend. I was planning to buy a nice assortment of dried fruits at the farmers' market for my holiday baking, so the timing couldn't be better. I can see that this is going to become an instant favorite! Thanks so much.

I am in Mexico. I think I will give it a try with tequilla, peel of lime and clementine (the tree outside my house is heavy with them), cinnamon, clove and maybe an ancho chili. I will let you know how it turns out!
over 3 years ago eatboutique
I love boozy fruit of any kind. I make my own cordials but never thought to actually eat the fruit sitting in the booze. Making this tomorrow now, thank you, along with some flavored-vodka that has similar spices. So happy it's December finally (and we have a good excuse for adding booze to fruit...) :)

Troubled RBS aims to privatise by 2014
ROYAL Bank of Scotland yesterday insisted it was on track for privatisation by 2014 despite reporting losses of more than £5billion.
Chief executive Stephen Hester, who was brought in to turn around the company after a £45billion taxpayer bailout, said: "The light at the end of the tunnel is coming closer."
The 2008 rescue deal left the bank 82 per cent owned by the state but Hester added: "One of the things which we and the Government are both very conscious of is that the RBS story is only a success if we are privatised successfully."
RBS reported overall pre-tax losses of £5.17billion for 2012 after £4.6billion of accounting charges for changes in the value of its own debt and a series of one-off costs including £1.1billion for PPI insurance compensation and £700million for mis-selling of interest rate swaps.
But excluding exceptional items, underlying profits were £3.5billion, the highest since the financial crisis, driven by a 68 per cent rise in earnings at its investment bank.
Hester said 2013 would be the last year of major restructuring at the bank, which has cut costs and sold off businesses including insurer Direct Line, paving the way for it to resume dividend payments next year.
It is also lining up the flotation of 315 UK branches under the Williams & Glyn's brand, in a sale ordered by EU competition watchdogs, after Santander pulled out of a deal, and the partial stock market listing on Wall Street of its US bank Citizens.
ne of the things which we and the Government are both very conscious of is that the RBS story is only a success if we are privatised successfully.
Chairman Sir Philip Hampton described the prospect of privatisation in 2014 as "a reasonable aspiration" though he warned there were "lots of things that have to be done to get there".
Downing Street stressed that no timetable for a float had been set and asked whether it would be a British Gas-style privatisation Hampton said: "Our job is to fix the bank and make it safe and sound and give the Government options. My view is that they will want the British taxpayer to participate in the distribution of shares."
The City was disappointed by the results and the shares fell 23p to 324p. Analysts at investment bank Espirito Santo called the results weak but Accendo Markets said the RBS was "a step closer to freedom".

There are more than 25 large European Union institutions and a number of related smaller bodies. The procurement volume of these institutions and bodies is considerable. This also comprises the procurement of vehicle, i.e. for the vehicle fleet of the European Parliament or Eurojust. In principle directive 2009-33-EC (clean vehicle directive) refers to all contracting authorities procuring under Directive 2004/17/EC and Directive 2004/18/EC including EU institutions and bodies. However so far there are no general or specific initiatives to stimulate the procurement of clean vehicles.
Procurement Regulation for European Institution related to clean vehicle
The roles for public procurement of any External Aid provision of the European Commission are defined within the "Financial Regulation applicable to the general budget of the European Union" (Title V: PROCUREMENT). Article 97(2) of the Financial Regulation implementation rules set out that contract should be awarded on the basis of best value for money which includes also considerations on the environmental characteristics of a service or supplied good.
Joint Procurement Initiatives of European Institution for Clean Vehicle
So far, non joint procurement initiatives for clean vehicles were undertaken by European Union institutions and bodies!
