There are a number of recipes for risotto but, the basic preparation steps are pretty similar. This summer recipe combines mushrooms, asparagus, saffron and parmigiano reggiano cheese and is then topped with freshly sliced grape tomatoes and scallions. Serve it as an entree or an appetizer. You can also top it with grilled and sliced chicken, pork or beef for a heartier meal.
Summer Risotto
serves 4-6
6 cu Chicken Stock (substitute vegetable stock for a vegetarian version)
pinch of Saffron Threads
1/4 cu Hot Water
1/2 lb Asparagus, ends trimmed and then cut into 1" pieces, keeping tips and stalk pieces separate
1/2 lb Baby Bella Mushrooms (or your choice), sliced
4 tbl Butter
1 tbl Olive Oil
1 1/2 cu Arborio Rice
1/2 cu White Wine
1/2 cu Shallots, minced
1/2 tsp Salt, optional
1/2 tsp Pepper, optional
1/2 cu Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, finely grated
1/2 cu Grape Tomatoes halved
2 Scallions, trimmed and sliced with just a bit of the green included
Additional grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese, for garnish
Bring chicken stock to a boil in a large pot and then reduce to a very low simmer to keep warm. Break up saffron between your thumb and forefinger and sprinkle into the 1/4 cup of hot water. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté for 3 minutes. Add asparagus stalk pieces and sauté for an additional 2 minutes. Add asparagus tips and sauté 2 minutes more and then remove saucepan from heat and set aside.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add shallots and sauté for about 2 minutes. Adjust heat so that shallots don't burn. Add rice and stir for 2 minutes. Add white wine and stir until fully combined. Add 1 cup of the warm chicken broth and saffron water and stir until liquid has just about fully absorbed. Continue stirring and be sure to keep rice from sticking to bottom of the pot. Continuing adding broth in 1 cup amounts until rice is tender but still slightly firm. Once you start adding broth, this cooking process will take about 20-25 minutes. Use a clean spoon to sample a bit of the rice occasionally to check for doneness. You also may not use all of the broth before the rice is ready.
Once rice has reached desired texture, season with salt and pepper if desired. Add the cheese and then the sautéed vegetables. Add the tomatoes and then immediately dish up risotto into individual serving bowls or plates. Garnish with additional grated cheese and scallions.

Fab Investments Planned for Japan
By Dan Tracy, SEMI Industry Research and Statistics
The semiconductor industry has seen many changes over the past decade, with the pace of change accelerating as a consequence of the recent financial crisis. Japan remains the country with the largest installed fab capacity base and, as a result of this and advanced packaging activity, is the largest market consuming semiconductor materials. While some companies in Japan have sold or consolidated their semiconductor businesses, companies like Toshiba, Flash Alliance/Partners, Elpida, Fujitsu, and others continue to invest in advanced process technologies while expanding manufacturing capacity.
With new investments underway this year and anticipated for 2011, 300 mm fab capacity in Japan is expected to increase by 9 percent in 2010 and is currently forecasted to grow another 13 percent in 2011. In total, an estimated $6.0 billion to $6.5 billion on fab-related spending (construction, facilities, and equipment) is expected next year.
Leading 2011 investment activities in Japan is the alliance between Toshiba and Sandisk, Flash Alliance and Flash Partners, with well over $3.0 billion combined in spending expected. Most of it will be spent in continuing the Fab 4 expansion and completing construction and beginning to equip Fab 5. Outside of the Flash Alliance JV, Toshiba could spend another $500 million on expanding and upgrading its 300 mm fab in Oita and its 200 mm fab in Kitakami.
Elpida could spend up to $700 million in upgrades and expansion of the E300 fab. Fujitsu continues to invest in 300 mm capacity and technology, while Panasonic expands its 200 mm fab capacity. Renesas Electronics, Sharp, and Sony also have fab investments planned for next year. Finally, Nichia is expected to invest about $250 million in LED fab capacity. Both Toyoda Gosei and Sharp are also now expanding LED capacity and other Japanese companies are considering investing in LED epi/chip manufacturing as well.
Over the past ten years, semiconductor manufacturers in Japan have spent over $150 billion on semiconductor equipment and materials, including $40+ billion spent for packaging and test. Looking ahead to next year, device makers in Japan will continue to move forward with new investments for advanced technologies and additional capacity.
The author, Dan Tracy, will present SEMI year-end forecasts on chip equipment and materials to the audience at SEMICON Japan 2010 Market Seminar on December 1. The program also features presentations by iSuppli, Gartner and WSTS. For more information, please visit: http://www.semiconjapan.org/en/sessions/technical/ctr_040629

It's a a pleasant surprise to accidentally stumble across a performance of your work that you didn't know had been done. In this case it was on Youtube and was a performance by a Polish group of the first movement of my 'Music for Soprano Sax and String Quartet', which I wrote for Dave Liebman in 1998. I think this piece is a good companion to the blog post I wrote about string writing in jazz, involving as it does a lot of the issues I discussed in that article.
The performers here are Andrzej Olejniczak & Apertus String Quartet. I knew Andrzej via email and I knew he'd performed the piece in Spain, but I didn't know about this performance or recording. They play the piece very well too and so it was a nice piece of Serendipity for a Sunday morning................

Primary colliders: Axe vs. the Clintons
Five years later, the 2008 presidential primary still goes on and on and on.
In a string of Democratic primary elections around the country, two of the long-memoried protagonists of the Barack Obama-Hillary Clinton nomination fight keep finding themselves at odds as they rally to support down-ballot candidates who picked the "right" side in 2008.
Story Continued Below
The most recent flash point is Tuesday's mayoral runoff election in Los Angeles, where former President Bill Clinton and Obama master strategist David Axelrod have picked candidates in direct opposition to each other.
( PHOTOS: Who's talking about Hillary 2016?)
Axelrod stumped last week for Eric Garcetti, the former city council president who leads in the polls, and who traveled to Iowa to volunteer for Obama in '08. Bill Clinton has endorsed and campaigned for city Controller Wendy Greuel, who worked in his administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development and supported Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
Clinton and Axelrod have previously endorsed opposing candidates in New Jersey and California congressional primaries, and an attorney general election in Pennsylvania. In every instance, Clinton and Axelrod have stood by other Democrats who had their favored candidate's back in 2008.
There's no indication that the endorsements are driven by personal or political rivalry. Axelrod has talked up Hillary Clinton as a 2016 presidential candidate, and the former secretary of state is appearing at a benefit next month for the epilepsy research charity founded by Susan Axelrod.
( PHOTOS: The Clinton-Obama relationship)
Both sides flatly dismiss any suggestion of a substantive division over the future of the Democratic Party. On the contrary, these endorsements are almost entirely borne out of the divisions of the past, which seem to have taken on a life of their own.
In an email, Axelrod emphasized that the split in Los Angeles wasn't about "Clinton/Obama" rivalry — while noting the origins of their relationship date to the '08 cycle, when Garcetti volunteered for Obama's successful Iowa caucus operation.
"Garcetti is a guy I've known since Iowa. He's a great guy. I like him. He asked for my help. I gave it," Axelrod explained.
A Clinton spokesman declined to comment for this story.
( Also on POLITICO: Clintons to stay out of N.Y.C. race)
While both Clinton and Axelrod are prominent national Democrats, their endorsements do not carry equal weight. Recipients of Clinton's support say his involvement has visibly moved polls in their direction, drawing attention from voters who might not otherwise pay attention to relatively low-profile congressional and local elections.
The former president, who has campaigned vigorously for a long list of Hillary '08 supporters, offers a range of services to his endorsees: appearing in television ads, recording automated phone calls and speaking at fundraising events. In the Los Angeles election, Clinton recorded a robocall for Greuel that's being deployed Tuesday in the low-turnout election.

WALNUT CREEK — It's been more than 10 years since Miriam Lar Rieu died, and still the fate of her home has yet to be decided.
Lar Rieu gifted her home and property to Walnut Creek, to be used as a park after she died. But what to do with the house where she lived has been complicated by dueling family opinions and Walnut Creek's lack of money to maintain the home. And now some city leaders recommend the 1930s house, complete with a windmill, be torn down.
Last year, the City Council initiated a process to figure out the future of Lar Rieu Park. The 10-acre park at 196 El Camino Corto, with sweeping views of Mount Diablo, opened in 2007, four years after Lar Rieu's death. The public has not used the undeveloped park much, and the house and gardens on the property have fallen into disrepair. Mark Clar, a member of Friends of Lar Rieu, said such disrepair is an invitation to vandalism and vagrancy.
"I personally think if Mrs. Lar Rieu could walk her property today she would be insulted by the present condition of her once-proud home and grounds," Clar said at a Feb. 3 Park, Recreation and Open Space Commission meeting.
Options for the house's future include demolition; letting a caretaker live there; allowing the family to fix it up and then having a family caretaker live in it for 15 years; and having a nonprofit take it over for a community use.
The idea of the Lar Rieu family spending an estimated $300,000 to make the home livable again was attractive to Park, Recreation and Open Space commissioners, but the question of what the city would do with the home in 15 years was puzzling for some.
"I hate to see us get in a position where we have a beautiful home that's been restored at the end of 15 years with nothing to do with it, nothing to use it for," Commissioner Sandra Jacobsen said at the meeting.
Some commissioners felt restoring the house would turn it into a single-family home — not open to the public, as Lar Rieu intended when she gifted her land. Some neighbors said the park is supposed to be a "passive park" with few amenities and with no one living in the house.
Others pointed out there is no parking and that the road to the home is a two-car, one-lane street, so it can't handle many users. But other neighbors say the city should do something with the house to prevent crime and vandalism. It's not just neighbors who disagree with one another, but even descendants of Lar Rieu disagree about what should be done with the home.
"I am totally against anybody living in that house; I think it's foolhardy and ludicrous," said Barry Lar Rieu, Miriam Lar Rieu's son. "My suggestion is to wipe the house off the property."
But his nephew, Dana Sack, said he and other family members are willing to pay to have the home restored and have Barry Lar Rieu's grand-daughter live in the home with her husband as caretakers and hand it over to the city in 12 to 15 years.
But it's the unknown "exit strategy" of the plan for the Lar Rieu home that had parks commissioners perplexed. Three on the commission ultimately suggested the home be torn down, while two others said there was some merit in investigating Sack's proposal, noting the city doesn't have the estimated $75,000 needed to tear the house down. The City Council is expected to hear the commissioners' recommendation and render a decision in the next several weeks.

Flights from Wanaka
Including Mt Aspiring National Park and Milford / Doubtful Sounds
Only when airborne can you fully take in the grandeur of the Wanaka region – the latticed rivers, the lakes and mountains with tumbling waterfalls cascading to the valleys below.
Plus, flying has opened new frontiers: heli-skiing, heli-canyoning, heli-kayaking, heli-biking, heli-hiking, heli-fishing and heli-jet boating take the sports to the next level, reaching terrain that is otherwise inaccessible. The Lodge has a selection of flight options and activities available – all starting from the helipad on the front lawn !
A 45-minute scenic flight from Wanaka Airport, for example, takes you to Milford Sound, with a spectacular flight over Mount Aspiring, often referred to as the Matterhorn of the south. The route back to Whare Kea Lodge passes over Glenorchy at the tip of Lake Wakatipu.
A scenic flight in a vintage Tiger Moth gives a perspective like no other of some of the South Island's most breathtaking countryside.
Pilot Peter Hendriks of Classic Flights, a well-known local identity, lands in one of the paddocks behind the lodge and kits you out in a flying ensemble of leather jacket, silk scarf and helmet. He then takes you on a 20-minute flight over Lake Wanaka, with Mount Aspiring National Park and the Southern Alps as the backdrop.
Other classic flights he offers include the Ultimate Barnstormer, a 30-minute aerobatic trip taking you dipping and soaring above the Matukituki Valley; and the Freedom of Romance Picnic – a two-hour flight-seeing excursion that includes a picnic by the lake.
The experienced pilots at Aspiring Helicopters will whisk you away to any number of scenic viewpoints in the Lake Wanaka and Fiordland region. Whether you wish to land on a glacier, take a walk in the snow, view the spectacular Milford Sound from the air, or create your own flight itinerary, Aspiring Helicopters will fly you there safely.
A four hour wilderness experience combining scenic flight, valley walk and jet boat ride. Start in Makarora (approx 1 hour drive from Lodge) with a scenic plane or helicopter flight to land in the remote Siberia Valley and enjoy a relaxing 3 hour hike on a well marked track amidst the stunning alpine scenery. Rendezvous with Wilkin River Jets for a fast paced return jet boat ride through the icy blue waters of the Wilkin and Makarora Rivers.

(CNN) — A packed deck of Shuckers Bar & Grill, a popular sports bar in Florida, collapsed into Biscayne Bay on Thursday, sending patrons into the water.
About 100 people are believed to have been on the deck at the time of the collapse, Miami-Dade Fire Lt. Eugene Germain told reporters.
Authorities are treating 24 victims, three of whom have "critical injuries," Germain said.
Officials believe no one is missing.
Video from CNN affiliate WSVN showed fire trucks and ambulances at the scene, which was illuminated by a spotlight from a helicopter.
Rescue divers were also there.
At least one patient on a stretcher was put inside a waiting ambulance.
The collapse is believed to have happened shortly before 10:00 p.m. ET.
Connected to a Best Western hotel, Shuckers Bar & Grill is in Miami's North Bay Village.
On its website, it boasts outdoor dining on a dock over Biscayne Bay and 23 high-definition flat-screen TVs — many of them, no doubt, tuned to Thursday night's NBA Finals showdown between the San Antonio Spurs and the hometown Miami Heat.
What had been the deck was largely unrecognizable after the collapse, video from CNN affiliate WFOR showed.
Leah Masters, a Shuckers hostess, told the affiliate the deck collapsed just as people stood to cheer a Heat basket.

Amy Black hits a home run with horn-heavy R&B release of mostly original material.
Amy Black, "Memphis" (Reuben Records), available June 2
The highlight of Amy Black's "The Muscle Shoals Sessions" was her three originals nestled in among the country soul covers that made up the bulk of that excellent 2015 collection. With "Memphis," Black's moved (musically) from Alabama to Tennessee, and flopped that equation: There are only three covers on this disc, and seven stellar new originals that she brings to spectacular, bluesy life.
Black's vocals are a revelation here, building on the soulful tones of "Muscle Shoals" to deliver a gruffer, sexier blues growl befitting the gritty Memphis R&B that provided her inspiration. That's never truer than in the opening track, "It's Hard To Love An Angry Man," a horn-driven soul and blues lament that builds to a chilling crescendo: "You turn on your love and you make me stay," she wails, holding the note on "stay" in a way that instills it with equal parts rage and resignation. It's a stunner that sets the tone for the album.
Stax-style horns make up the backbone of "Memphis" -- Black says she's "addicted" to them -- honking menacingly through the deceptively upbeat "The Blackest Cloud" and sliding along with Joe Restivo's blues guitar on a down-and-dirty cover of Bobby Bland's "Further On Up The Road." But she also brings no shortage of gospel flavor, on tracks like the organ-driven Otis Clay cover "If I Could Reach Out (and Help Somebody)," and also on "Let The Light In," a moody original about "dark times" that could have come out during the height of the civil rights era, but sadly feels just as relevant right now.
If there's one caveat it's that the lyrics, like the songs that inspired them, skew pretty general, unlike the character studies of real, ragged hearts and souls that peppered Black's earlier country work. The exception is the stirring "Nineteen," about a boy who's gone off to war and come back a changed man -- "There's no coming back from this one," Black sings in a tone of sad but stoic forbearance that's worthy of Dusty Springfield. Buoyed by striking backing vocals by Reba Russell and Daunielle Hill, who intone "Nineteen" again and again, it's a haunting gem.
But even if love and lost-love tracks like "We Got a Good Thing" and "Without You" don't break new lyrical ground, Black more than makes up for it with a rich, authentic Memphis sound and a sense of genuine emotion. It would be easy to come off as a poseur with this kind of "retro" material, but it's a testament to Black's real affection for the music that "Memphis" feels so honest and lived-in. It's transcendent.

Sophomores Fiona Masai and Cesar Sanabria continued to lead the Grizzlies, as they competed at University of South Dakota's Tim Young Invitational Saturday in Vermillion, S.D.
Masai, who ran a personal best time of 18 minutes and 31 seconds the previous week at the Fort Hays meet, again posted one of her top 5k times with an 18:42 in Vermillion. Throughout the race, Masai ran with the lead group of runners before settling in and finishing in sixth place.
Butler Coach Jeff Becker said, "I was real impressed with Fiona's race again." "I thought she competed well against mostly NCAA Divison I competition."
The Butler women also had Abiane Collymore and Adrian McCollum run in the race. Collymore ran a time of 21:31 for 30th place and McCollum crossed the line in 24:04 for 36th.
In the men's race Sanabria finished ninth in 27:05 on the eight kilometer course, his second straight top 10 finish. His time was nearly a minute behind former Grizzly Benson Langat who currently runs for South Dakota and ran a 26:09 in sixth.
Becker felt that the men had "some up and down performances." Freshman Eric Minjarez and sophomore Coty Williams were two athletes that Becker thought had "great" races. Minjarez finished fifth on the team for the second straight meet and Williams was the sixth Grizzly to finish. Overall Minjarez finished in 24th place with a 28:42 and Williams ran a 29:25 to finish 27th.
The other men who ran for Butler were Israel Mendoza in 28:30 in 21st place, Fidel Munoz in 28:36 in 22nd, Drake Brown in 28:40 in 23rd, Dale Nuckolls in 29:28 in 28th, Thomas Hofstetter in 29:35 in 29th, Taylor Parker in 31:09 in 37th, Carlos Galindo in 31:40 in 38th, Adam Kelsey in 32:02 in 40th and Thomas Groom in 32:31 in 41st.
Butler's next meet will be when it hosts the Ollie Isom Invitational at Wartick Ranch this Friday.

Attention, boys and girls!
Hope lives in the heart … On Thursday, Aug. 23, The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs of Beaumont will host its Hope for Tomorrow Luncheon and Style Show at the beautiful Tyrrell Park Botanical Garden Center. The community is invited to this event for an afternoon of food, fashion fellowship and fundraising with the heartwarming theme 'LEARN from Yesterday, LIVE for Today and HOPE for Tomorrow." Macy's is providing fashions for guest models, Beaumont ISD students and members of the Boys & Girls Club. Students selected to model were nominated by a teacher based on academic achievement and community service during the 2011-12 school year. As an added benefit, several local celebrities have been asked to model, as well. This event will help raise funds as well as foster awareness for a much-needed expansion of the Boys & Girls Club building at 2350 I-10 E. This proposed addition will dramatically enhance efforts to provide the very best afterschool and summer programs available for the youth of Beaumont. The Hope for Tomorrow luncheon kicks off at 10:45 a.m., when guests will be invited to shop gently used merchandise and new items in the silent auction. The luncheon and style show is from 11:30 a.m. to 1 pm. Reserved seats are $50. For more information, contact judy_keifstrom [at] uss [dot] salvationary [dot] org.

Great looking small SUV
By Amska on Friday, June 17, 2016It was really difficult leaving a 19-year old Volvo that still wouldn't die. But I made the choice to try an Audi. I needed a fashionable small SUV that would get me through very bad winter driving conditions in northern Canada. I opted for the lowest trim level (Komfort) with AWD, and skipped all the driving assist equipment (who needs that anyways?) Pros: Looks great, beautiful facade and LED/Xenon headlights - I'm always getting admiring looks. Beautifully laid-out interior. Zippy when you need it to be, but great fuel economy. My overall average economy is 8.8L/100km (26.7mpg). More recently in the warmer weather it has been 7.96L/100km (29.5mpg). Steady as a rock in ice storms and snow squalls (I've NEVER felt it slip). Trunk space is very big with rear seats folded. AWESOME Audi-brand speakers/subwoofer, you do not need the Bose ones. Beautiful long standard sunroof. Rear and side mirror defrosters are very powerful. Quite small, so fits well in traffic in downtown Toronto. Smooth ride over rough roads. This car was actually a very affordable lease, cheaper than the Mazda CX-5 I was looking at. I also looked at the BMW X1 and the Mercedes GLA - considering what comes standard on the Q3, Audi was definitely the cheaper option. Cons: Must use mid-to-high grade gas (I use a combo depending on the price). Rain-sensing wipers do not have a low enough speed. Certain interior panels rattle with bass-y music. Wipers are NOT heated and do NOT defrost, no matter how high or how long you run the defroster. 18-inch open rims means mud, snow, and ice easily accumulates and causes severe rumbling at high speeds. Seat warmers are not the hottest. Black paint chips very easily. Not meant for 5 adults, definitely not enough rear legroom. Would I go for an Audi Q3 again? Yes. I wanted a car that made me excited to look at and drive, yet get me safely through really tough conditions. I consider the fuel economy and affordable price as surprise bonuses.

Founded in March 2003, the center's initiatives flow naturally from Columbia Law School's exceptionally rich curriculum relating to global law issues. Its activities, in turn, affect that curriculum. As part of its regular curriculum, the Law School offers what is perhaps the largest number of courses and seminars of any U.S. law school, focusing on the challenges emerging from transnational movement of goods, capital, people, or ideas.
The backbone of our international and comparative law curriculum consists of seminars and courses dealing with global constitutionalism, the degradation of the global commons, transitional justice in the wake of mass atrocity, international crime and terrorism, the regulation of the multinational enterprise and transnational capital, immigration, and human rights. The center engages in ongoing review of the Law School's extensive curriculum and identifies collaborators for teaching and research from communities outside the Law School, including the worlds of practice and public policy. It invites distinguished individuals from academe as well as those engaged in international public policy, whether in private practice or other settings, to the Law School for speaking events, roundtables and other fora, usually in venues that are open to the wider Columbia University community and the general public. The Law School's associations with preeminent law faculties or institutes in Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, Leiden, London, Jerusalem, Johannesburg, and Paris provide the center with ready access to relevant legal expertise and diverse points of view from throughout the world. Global legal issues also feature prominently in many of Columbia's 14 student-edited journals (including six journals that focus on international, foreign, or arbitral law), as well as in the efforts of other Columbia Law School programs, including centers on Chinese, European, Japanese, and Korean law, and some of the center's programs are undertaken in collaboration with student-edited journals or these other programs.
The center addresses globalization's legal dimensions through diverse interdisciplinary research and scholarship. The Center supports (1) long-term research projects, such as collaborative research with professional disciplines other than law, including economics and philosophy, and other professional schools including the schools of business, journalism, public health, and international and public affairs; (2) periodic conferences and other speaking events; (3) associations and public policy-oriented projects with other Columbia University centers and programs, including the Earth Institute, the Initiative for Policy Dialogue, and the Institute for Human Rights,; and (4) joint programs with international organizations such as the United Nations.
Although the center is relatively new to the Law School, it has undertaken a variety of activities since its founding, including a public speaker series and academic conferences. The Center on Global Governance, together with Columbia Law School, is an Academic Partner of the American Society of International Law.

We know that the situation in Tampa is ugly, and getting uglier. In examining how we got to this point and what's next, one other thing is clear: The Bucs have painted themselves into a corner as their season circles the drain
(Note: This piece was written before the Bucs released Freeman on Thursday afternoon.)
As those familiar with my writing know, the NFL offseason—the longest of all major professional sports leagues—is "Me Time," the time when teams and players are often in conflict over individual needs vs. the greater good. Every NFL team deals with various levels of player discontent; for a team to profess it has a completely harmonious locker room is folly.
Come training camp and the start of the season, however, "Me Time" usually turns to "We Time." Or so we would like to think.
The reality is that player-team discord does not magically disappear according to a calendar; it can linger and fester through training camp and into the season. Such is the case in the toxic relationship between the Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano and quarterback Josh Freeman. It is a relationship that appears beyond repair, a schism between coach and player rooted in mistrust and feelings of betrayal.
Freeman was a treasured first-round pick in the 2009 draft—the penultimate draft class prior to the CBA "correction" of top rookie contracts—cashing in with a five-year, $26 million contract with $10.245 million guaranteed. Having started the vast majority of games since his rookie season, he was the presumed leader of a franchise that appeared on the uptick for 2013.
Or not. Somewhere along the way, Freeman lost the confidence of his coaches, his teammates or both. The anointed starting quarterback a month ago spent last week as a healthy scratch, buried on the inactive list for the Cardinals loss. Now in their bye week, the Bucs have Freeman as the elephant in the room at the team's most important position. Let's try to analyze why.
Expiring deal
Perhaps I overestimate the impact of the business of sports, but the contract situation here—or more precisely, the lack of a contract—is undeniably a factor. Freeman is in the last year of a five-year deal and, making a healthy $8.43 million salary.
Every player wants the same thing contractually: a long-term commitment with a substantial guarantee. More than the financial commitment, which is always tenuous in the NFL, players desire to feel like the team wants them around for the long term. This is why franchise tag players, despite making a substantial salary, are frequently disillusioned due to lack of security in spite of high short-term earnings. As I often noted in my negotiations with players, one can never underestimate the power of ego and insecurity among professional athletes.
Despite a reasonably successful book of performance over the past four seasons leading into this one, the Bucs did not secure Freeman for the long term prior to the start of this contract year. The silence from the Bucs front office must have been deafening to Freeman, especially amidst the landscape around him.
Freeman saw extensions this offseason for quarterbacks Joe Flacco, Aaron Rodgers, Tony Romo, Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford. While certainly not as accomplished as these players, Freeman could have likely been secured for a significantly lower amount. And whereas Freeman is in the final year of his contract, Rodgers and Stafford were extended with two years left on their deals.
Freeman was certainly not the only quarterback with an expiring contract not extended. Jay Cutler is also in that category, although Bears' general manager Phil Emery did not single out Cutler, stating that there would be no extensions for any Bears players this season. Freeman's case is a bit different.
Freeman has seen the Bucs not only spend liberally on imported acquisitions over the past two years—Vincent Jackson, Carl Nicks, Darrelle Revis and Dashon Goldson—but saw them secure home-grown receiver Mike Williams to a $40 million extension, with almost $9 million due this year. With all of this spending, the Bucs were content to allow their quarterback to play out his contract. Speaking of which ...
Schiano Men … or Not
Although Freeman led an offense ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in total yards and passing yards last season, Schiano apparently was unimpressed. He not only drafted quarterback Mike Glennon in the third round of this year's draft but inserted him into the starting lineup ahead of Freeman, saying Glennon, who had never taken an NFL snap, gave "the team the best chance to win." Translation: "We're moving on from Josh."
In speaking with agents of several Bucs players recently, I have sensed a common theme: There is an atmosphere of fear and distrust under the current regime in Tampa. Players have told their agents about coaches roaming through the locker room (typically the players' sanctuary away from coaches) and staff videotaping players on the sidelines during losses to single out players laughing or horsing around. The players also speak to the influx of multiple Rutgers players from Schiano's past and the use of the phrase "Schiano Men," a term that clearly does not apply to Freeman.
Freeman may be the next player shipped out by Schiano, joining a list that includes Aqib Talib, Dezmon Briscoe, LeGarrette Blount and Kellen Winslow, Jr., as well as this week's casualties Ahmad Black and Kevin Ogletree. There appears to be a pattern of players, despite their talents, ending up on the wrong side of the coaching staff, with directives from Schiano to general manager Mark Dominik to remove them from the roster.
To be fair, Freeman has not been blameless here. Missing the team photo—for whatever reason—is inexcusable and fanned the flames of a dysfunctional relationship between him and his head coach. Which leads me to ...
Tough trading
The Schiano-Freeman saga seems to reach new lows every day, with the latest salvos including a report by FOX Sports that Freeman was told to stay away from a team meeting, this following a report from ESPN that Freeman is in Stage One of the NFL's drug-testing program due to a mixup with his league-approved prescription for Adderall. One can only wonder what invectives today or tomorrow will bring.
Dominik is in a tough spot. He must try to preserve some relationship with Freeman, although his loyalty—for the time being at least—is with Schiano. Now told by Schiano that Freeman is persona non grata, Dominik has to try to trade Freeman with trade leverage stacked against him.
The Bucs would need a perfect storm to have a willing trade partner for Freeman. That team would have to have a strong interest in Freeman, a present and future need at quarterback, $6.2 million (Freeman's remaining 2013 salary) of unallocated cap room to take on the contract, a willingness to insert another team's problem into their locker room, and a willingness to extend Freeman's contract rather than "renting" him for 10-12 games.
As to questions concerning the Bucs paying part of Freeman's contract in order to facilitate a trade, the NFL—unlike the NBA or Major League Baseball—does not allow cash compensation to be part of a trade. However, the Bucs could (legally) circumvent that rule by restructuring Freeman's contract to pay him a bonus, reduce his salary, and then trade that contract. For example, the Bucs could give Freeman, say, a $2 million bonus and reduce his remaining salary to $4 million in order to attract a trading partner. I still think it highly unlikely.
I can imagine Mark on the phone with other general managers, in conversations that sound something like this:
"Hey, it's Mark. Wondering if any interest in Josh?"
"You're going to cut him, right?
"Uh, well, maybe not."
"Ok. But why does your coach hate him so much?"
"Well, it's complicated, but ..."
"We're good. Take care Mark."
What Now?
Absent a trade, there remain two options for an uncontested divorce:
1. A reluctant co-existence through the season (staying together for the kids' sake?). In this case, Freeman would keep quiet and collect his $500,000 per week, probably on the inactive list barring injury to Glennon, until his tires screech driving out of town the moment the team's last game ends, or
2. A termination of Freeman's contract. In this case, with Freeman being a vested veteran, the Bucs would be on the hook for remaining salary—through termination pay—and Freeman would be able to "double-dip," collecting salary from the Bucs and a new team if he were to sign on elsewhere.
Neither option is a good one for the Bucs; the latter option is preferable to Freeman (which probably means it is not preferred by the Bucs).

Paula Abdul is on the road back to reality television.
A source at NBC told Access Hollywoodthat the former "American Idol" judge is in talks with the network about starring in a new performance competition show alongside "High School Musical" and Michael Jackson's "This is it" choreographer Kenny Ortega.
Though still in the early stages of development, the source said the show would see Paula and longtime friend Kenny help competing contestants put on a huge show.
The show, which is still in development, is looking to feature memorable performances with potentially thousands of participants. It could also feature the public, which has led many to suspect it could have a connection with Flash Mobs, the social movement that sees people show up at locations and on cue, break into dance, song, pillow fights or a number of other actions.
A rep for Paula was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Access Hollywood.
3 Ball Productions, one of the production companies behind NBC's "The Biggest Loser," is being lined up for the new Paula-Kenny project, according to TheWrap.com.
Paula has reportedly yet to sign a contract with NBC for the new show.
Since her "American Idol" goodbye, the singing star has been offered a spot on the "Dancing with the Stars" cast. She has also been rumored to be joining Simon Cowell's "The X-Factor." Last week, she reportedly declined a hosting gig for a reboot of the popular '80s series "Star Search."

Investigators are looking into whether mental illness played a role in the death of an off-duty eastern Pennsylvania deputy sheriff after he took his best friend -- another off-duty officer -- hostage at gunpoint before fatally shooting himself, police said.
State Police Cpl. Shawn Noonan said that investigators are trying to figure out what motivated Carbon County Deputy Sheriff David Midas and said they were interviewing co-workers and family members to see whether there were signs of mental illness.
"They're still trying to figure out the details," Noonan said.
People who knew Midas well say they just don't understand. Carbon County Commissioner Tom Gerhard described he and Midas as close friends who talked nearly every day.
"He was well known and well-respected by his co-workers and everybody he came into contact with. I'm devastated," Gerhard told the Republican Herald.
The Times News of Lehighton and WFMZ-TV identified the second officer as Christopher Ondrus, 34.
Noonan said the two officers were friends, and that Midas' death was not considered suspicious. Noonan had no information about Ondrus' condition, but that as far as he knew, he hadn't been injured.
Lansford Mayor Ron Hood told the Times News of Lehighton that Midas and Ondrus were best friends.
"He was easygoing, very outgoing. He got along with everybody. He was just a great guy -- everybody loved him.
"I remember flipping through channels and come up on a polka show, and there he was, dancing with all these little old ladies," Hood said. "And on the radio, there would be all these polkas going out to 'Officer Dave in Weatherly'."
On Friday night, police say Midas, 33, of Weatherly, went to the police station in the small town of Lansford, where he was a part-time officer, and took ammunition and an unmarked police car before he drove to the home of another off-duty officer and took him hostage.
Midas then drove Ondrus to nearby Jim Thorpe, where a struggle began in the tourist town of Jim Thorpe, about 70 miles north of Philadelphia. Midas shot himself in the head, police say. He died early Saturday at a hospital, according to Lehigh County Coroner Scott Grim, who ruled Midas' death a suicide.
During the struggle, Ondrus tried to take the gun away from Midas, according to Carbon County sheriff, Dwight Nothstein.
Gerhard said counseling sessions were set up for fellow officers. He said Midas had been talking about a run for sheriff of Carbon County in 2015.
"I just gave him a list of events he should attend if he was going to run for sheriff," Gerhard said. "I gave him some advice my father gave another candidate some years ago about wearing your wedding band. His wife said she'd been trying to get him to wear it for years, but it took a commissioner to get him to wear it."

John Roy Whinnery, an OSA Fellow who was an innovator in the field of electromagnetism and communication electronics, died February 1, 2009, at his home in Walnut Creek, California. He was 92.
Whinnery received both his BS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1937 and 1948, respectively. From 1937-1946, he was with the General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York, working on problems in waveguide discontinuities, microwave tubes, and applications to radar, which also aided the war effort. Upon returning to Berkeley in 1946, Whinnery joined the faculty as a Lecturer and, upon completion of his doctorate, became first an Associate Professor and then a Full Professor. During his long tenure at the university, Whinnery held a number of leadership positions, including director of the Electronics Research Laboratory (1952-1956), chairman of the Department of Electrical Engineering (1956-1959), and dean of the College of Engineering (1959-1963). He retired as Professor Emeritus in 1987.
During leaves from the university, Whinnery held positions as head of the Microwave Tube Research Division of the Hughes Aircraft Company (1951-1952), participated in research in quantum electronics at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey (1963 -1964), and held visiting professorships at the University of California Santa Cruz and Stanford University. In 1959, he held a Guggenheim Fellowship at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich).
Whinnery's earliest work focused on understanding discontinuities in electromagnetic wave devices. His research led to innovations in microwave amplifiers such as triodes, used in World War II communication devices and radar receivers, and in traveling-wave tubes, including the backward-wave amplifier, which is still used in radar and satellite communications.
He later became interested in the emerging field of lasers and laser applications in communications. He and his students produced advances in ultra-short optical pulses, which can be used to study fast processes in materials and chemical reactions. He was recognized as one of the country's top experts on the fundamentals of quantum electronics.
In addition to his research, Whinnery is widely credited with helping to bring the study of applied electromagnetic theory to a broader audience with the pioneering textbook, Fields and Waves in Modern Radio, which he co-authored with Simon Ramo in 1944.
In 1992, Whinnery's research contributions, excellence as an educator and record of service earned him the National Medal of Science, the nation's highest scientific honor bestowed by the president. He was the recipient of many other awards and honors, including the Founder's Award of the National Academy of Engineering, the Medal of Honor of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, the Lamme Medal of the American Society for Engineering Education, the Berkeley Citation and the Distinguished Engineering Alumnus Award. He also earned the uncommon distinction of being elected to both the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering, and he served on NASA's Science and Technology Committee on Manned Space Flight for the Apollo Space Program. Whinnery earned a national reputation in matters of engineering education and played a key role in the creation of the Commission on Engineering Education. In 1994, the John R. Whinnery Chair in Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences was established at Berkeley.
Whinnery was known for his love of writing poetry and children's stories, cultivating fine wines, and hiking in the mountains. His friends also noted that he was an enthusiastic, but "challenged," golfer.
Whinnery was preceded in death in 2007 by Patricia, his wife of 63 years. He is survived by three daughters and three granddaughters.

Nine of ten chip makers have received substantial fines from the European Unions over four years of DRAM price fixing.
The companies involved include Micron, Samsung, Hynix, Infineon, NEC, Hitachi, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Elpida, and Naya. Micron is the only company not to be fined because it was the one to step forward and tell the authorities about the price fixing collusion.
Between 1998 and 2002 all the companies were in contact with each other secretly allowing them to fix the pricing on chip sales boosting profits, and stifling competition. That in turn led to manufacturers paying higher prices for the chips, and therefore consumers also paying more for products.
All the companies got a percentage cut in their fine for admitting they were involved, but that didn't stop some of them having to pay out some serious money. Samsung pays the most with a fine of 146 million Euros ($180 million), Infineon had the next biggest fine as 57 million Euros ($70.5 million). The full list of fines and percentage cuts can be found in the table below:
Joaquin Almunia, EU Competition Commissioner, said:
By acknowledging their participation in a cartel the companies have allowed the Commission to bring this long-running investigation to a close and to free up resources to investigate other suspected cartels. As the procedure is applied to new cases it is expected to speed up investigations significantly.
Read more at BBC News and the European Union press release
Matthew's Opinion
By imposing fines so big they hurt the companies involved it should act as a deterrent from trying this again. The only other thing the EU could do is ban the sale of goods from these companies in the EU, but then that would affect consumers and have an impact on pricing.
I doubt Samsung will be happy to form a cartel again after just losing $180 million, and whose knows how much more in legal costs.
You have to wonder what the relationship is like between Micron and the other companies now. Micron went to the EU with news of the cartel in 2002 and started this whole investigation, so surely the other companies blame Micron for the fines?

US indicts four rabbis for allegedly plotting to kidnap men to force them to divorce their wives
NEW YORK: A US grand jury has indicted four Orthodox Jewish rabbis and one of their sons for allegedly plotting to kidnap men to force them to divorce their wives.
The indictment follows an undercover FBI investigation into the kidnapping and assaulting of Orthodox Jewish men to extract religious divorces in operations that could cost $US70,000 ($75,807).
All five have been charged with conspiracy, as well as specific kidnapping and attempted kidnapping charges, US attorney Paul Fishman announced in New Jersey on Thursday.
The conspiracy charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison and each count is also punishable by a $US250,000 ($270,738) fine.
Rabbis Mendel Epstein, 68, Martin Wolmark, 56, Jay Goldstein, 60, and Binyamin Stimler, 38, have been charged with conspiracy to commit kidnapping in October 2013.
In a meeting with undercover agents at his New Jersey home in 2013, Epstein allegedly laid out plans to bundle a particular target into a van and assault him with an electric cattle prod.
Epstein priced the kidnapping at $US60,000-70,000 ($64,977-$75,807) - $US10,000 ($10,829) for a rabbinical court to approve the operation - and the rest for "tough guys" to beat up the husband, court documents said.
Two months later in October, Goldstein and Stimler allegedly travelled with others from New York to a warehouse in New Jersey to carry out the kidnapping.
They arrived in two minivans shortly after 8.00 pm, wearing ski masks, Halloween masks and bandanas, and carrying rope, surgical blades, a screwdriver and plastic bags.
Members of the kidnapping ring were then arrested.
Four other people, including two sons of Goldstein, have pled guilty to extortion charges.

Hormone Replacement
Preventive Medicine and Nutrition
The Risk of Hormone Replacement Therapy
The New England Journal of Medicine of June 15, 1995, reported that hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of breast cancer.1This was not news to most doctors. But many have continued to prescribe hormones because they feel that the benefits to the heart and bones outweigh the cancer risk. In the doctor's mind, it is a case of "choosing your disease." Will it be heart disease and osteoporosis from too little estrogen, or breast cancer from too much?
But before we reach for the prescription pad, it is worth considering other approaches to menopause and the problems that sometimes follow it.
Horse Hormones
The most popular estrogen product is Premarin, from Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories. Although doctors sometimes describe it as "natural" for women, it is actually a horse estrogen. On farms in North Dakota and Canada, 75,000 mares are impregnated and then confined from the fourth month through the end of their eleven-month pregnancy so their urine can be gathered in a collection harness. After they give birth, the mares are reimpregnated. Their foals usually end up as horse meat, and the urine estrogens are packed into pills. The trade name "Premarin" is simply a condensation of the words "pregnant mares' urine"—hardly a natural substance for human beings to swallow. While Premarin contains estradiol and estrone, two types of estrogen which are made in humans, it also contains an enormous amount of equilin, a horse estrogen that never occurs at all in humans.
Estrogen supplements can have serious side effects. They are particularly risky for women with clotting disorders, undiagnosed vaginal bleeding, liver disease, a past history of breast cancer, or a strong family history of breast cancer.
They increase the risk of uterine cancer, unless progesterone (or a synthetic progesterone-like drug) is added to the regimen. They increase the risk of breast cancer, whether progesterone is added or not. Women taking estrogen supplements have 30 to 80 percent more breast cancer risk than other women.
So why are so many doctors prescribing them? Most of the push relates to osteoporosis and heart disease. Osteoporosis is very common in Caucasian women, less so among other races. About one-quarter of white women over 60 have compression fractures of their vertebrae, and many develop hip fractures due to the gradual loss of bone. But estrogens are not nearly as good at protecting the bones as women may be led to believe, and they rarely arrest bone loss. At their best, estrogens simply slow the rate of bone deterioration.
Other approaches can be much more effective, and they do not cause cancer. For example, a major article in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported last year that eliminating animal protein from the diet can cut urinary calcium losses in half,2 resonating with other studies showing that populations that follow plant-based diets have enviably low rates of hip fracture. Cutting salt intake can reduce your calcium losses even further.3 Limit your caffeine consumption to no more than two cups of coffee per day, and you will hold onto still more calcium. If you don't smoke, you'll also avoid the 10 percent loss of bone that plagues chronic smokers.4 If you put these factors together, they are a powerful and safe approach for strong bones.
When osteoporosis has developed, a different hormone, called natural progesterone, has demonstrated the ability to actually encourage new bone growth. Unlike estrogens, which simply slow bone loss, progesterone actually increases bone density.5-7 It is derived from yams or soybeans, has no significant side effects, and is sold without a prescription as a transdermal cream. For more information, call Professional and Technical Services (800-648-8211), Women's International Pharmacy (800-279-5708), or Klabin Marketing (800-933-9440).
For heart disease, hormones are no match for lifestyle changes. As Dr. Dean Ornish's pioneering work has shown, a combination of a low-fat vegetarian diet, mild exercise, stress reduction, and smoking cessation is powerful enough to actually reverse heart disease in 82 percent of patients in one year.8
But Americans want pills, and they don't want to change their diets, say some doctors. The truth is, many people will gladly change their diets and other aspects of their lifestyle if they understand the benefits of doing so and are assisted in the process.9 The real problem is, even though a mountain of research has shown the value of dietary and lifestyle approaches, many doctors still know little about them.
Of course, it is not just estrogen pills that increase cancer risk. Estrogen production within a woman's body is increased by high-fat diets and overweight. The result is a higher risk of cancer. The National Cancer Institute reports that cutting fat to 20 percent of calories will reduce a woman's estrogen levels by 17 percent, which is a good first step in cancer prevention.10
There Is No Japanese Word for Hot Flashes
It has long been known that menopause is much easier for Asian women than it is for most Westerners. Hot flashes are reported by only about 10 percent of Japanese women at menopause. Not only are hot flashes much rarer, but bone strength is not assaulted to the extent it often is among Western women. Broken hips and spinal fractures are much less common.
The most likely explanation is this: throughout their lives, Western women consume much more meat and about four times as much fat as do women on traditional Asian rice-based diets, and only one-quarter to one-half the fiber. The result is a chronic elevation of estrogen levels. At menopause, the ovaries' production of estrogen comes to a halt, causing a violent drop in estrogen levels. Asian women have lower levels of estrogen both before and after menopause, and the drop appears to be less dramatic. The resulting symptoms are much milder or even non-existent. Those who enter menopause on a low-fat vegetarian diet often breeze right through it. This does not mean that women who have more symptoms have somehow failed, but it is a good reason to learn about how foods can affect this aspect of health.

MUSAC. Castile-León Museum of Contemporary Art
Take part in contemporary artistic creation. Visit the Contemporary Art Museum of Castile-León (MUSAC), a unique and amazing place. The city of León in northern Spain, is now known for something other than its wealth of Romanesque art and architecture. Since 2005, it also the standard-bearer of modernity.
We invite you to experience this museum and its commitment to contemporary aesthetic values first-hand. At the MUSAC Contemporary Art Centre, you can do so in a unique way, because it is first and foremost a living space that invites your participation, above and beyond passively viewing the works of art.
Your first surprise will be when you arrive here: a concave plaza acts as an anteroom for a structure made up of squares and rhombuses. The façade is made up of over 3,300 pieces of glass in 37 colours. This mosaic was obtained by digitising an image from a stained-glass window in the Cathedral of Leónknown as the Falconer.
Did you know that the place you are looking at is among the top ten European buildings of the last 20 years? This is endorsed by the Mies van der Rohe Award for contemporary architecture that it received in 2007.
However, your visit has only just begun: inside you'll find a predominance of white concrete, with 21,000 square metres of high ceilings, exposed girders and inner courtyards. With no corridors or indicators to mark the way, you can create your own route through the five exhibit rooms, the function room, educational workshop and, since 2006, a library specialising in contemporary art. Over 800 works by Spanish and international artists such as Anri Sala, Martín Sastre and Pilar Albarracín, to name a few, await you.
A common thread runs through the entire collection, which is governed by the principle of the 'here and now', the memory of recent events and the search for new forms of expression.
Interactivity is one of the key features of the MUSAC. This is why it has an extensive programme of talks, meetings with artists and interactive guides. There is also room for such activities as film series and concerts.
Be a witness to the art of your own time, To the expression of the creation of the 21st century. Do so in this unique environment. This is a visit that no one should miss.

I goofed on this one. Everyone now has the ability to have PREMIUM-access-only content (which includes the weekly summary view). Here's how to work AutoKeen.
BIG WARNING: This isn't a "we get to see weekly archives of Funny Farm" this is "have people to pay to see stuff we hide for them, and the weekly archives." If you comic is already weekly, weekly summary archives aren't for you! They're for those doing 3 or more strips a week.
Setting up your account for PREMIUM content
For just loading in PREMIUM-only content, create /workspace/premium. Anything there will be compiled and coded.
Weekly summary archives
In addition to creating /workspace/premium, you need to create /workspace/premium/w.
You also need to create a "template.html" file inside of /workspace/premium/w -- this is your "weeklytemplate.html" in the same fashion as dailytemplate.html. Instead of using the ***first/previous/next/last_comic*** tags, though, you use the ***first/previous/next/last_week*** tags. Instead of ***todays_comics*** use ***this_weeks_comics***. Further details are in the Tagtorial.
Testing it out.
You do not need to pay for PREMIUM to test your PREMIUM area out. If your comic has been hooked into your forum account via Siteadmin, just log into Siteadmin. You need to make sure cookies are activated when you log in.
One last note: ***last_week*** suffers from a problem in which older weekly archive pages may not have the actual last week listed. Instead they will have the last week as it was known at the time it was updated. This is an AutoKeen bug and it is being fixed in WolfKeen.

For her sixth album Tangerine, Louise Taylor and producers Peter Gallway
and Annie Gallup opted for a dramatically
direct approach: keep her songs in a stark, stripped down but plugged-in form utilizing simply Taylor's expressive
voice, her trusty hollow body Duesenburg electric guitar and, in a stroke of divine luck, the masterful percussive
work of renowned drummer Jerry Marotta (Peter Gabriel). The exquisite end result is a collection of songs steeped
in late night atmospherics, both personal and powerful, an album that easily and firmly reestablishes Taylor as
one of our finest, if unheralded, writers and performers. With subtle, rootsy finesse, Taylor turns "China Doll"
and "Baby Hands" into sweetly turned blues gems while the raw, steamy "Morning Memphis" and "Riderless Pony"
veer confidently into Ry Cooder, John Hiatt and Sonny Landreth territory. For those who felt a certain kinship
with the latest from Bonnie Raitt, we suggest Tangerine as a tart and potent chaser. ---

Hot hatchbacks are the best of both worlds. Sports car performance, awesome looks, and they can swallow belongings. Sign us up.
Now Ford is bringing the proverbial mini-me of the hot hatch world to market: Say hello to the Fiesta ST. And yes, it's coming to America.
The Fiesta ST has 197 horsepower and 214 pound feet of torque under an aggressive and lightweight five-door body. It should be fun to drive too, since Ford is letting owners row their own gears with a six-speed manual tranny. You can't even get an autobox.
And for those of you that care about such things, it can get 34 MPG on the highways and byways of the US and A.
So basically, it has the most power in the wee-little end of the hot hatch market (think Sonic RS and Mini Cooper S) with as much power as the current Golf GTI. Not. Too. Shabby.
We'll see the new ST at the LA Auto Show later this week.
