Renowned Mexican Chef Santibañez's Cuisine Featured at Southside
Posted: September 22, 2009 at 1:00 am, Last Updated: September 23, 2009 at 9:09 am
By Rashad Mulla
For the next month and a half, expect to see authentic Mexican cuisine alongside the regular items at Southside. On Friday, Oct. 2, expect the unconventional dishes to dominate the menu.
Sodexo, which runs dining services on campus, recently partnered with world-renowned chef Roberto Santibañez to bring his dishes to Mason. The program, "Mex to the Max," began yesterday and will continue until Oct. 30 in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month.
Each day, Southside will add an item or two from a list of signature Santibañez dishes to the regular menu at Southside, according to Jill Wilson, director of marketing for Mason Dining. The Santibañez item will rotate daily, and will typically be featured at the "Without Boundaries" station.
Spicy chicken and chorico alambres (skewered chicken and picante chorico), sweet cinnamon brownies (featuring espresso and chili powder) and carne guisada (a spicy beef dish) are three of the featured menu items.
"People will be delighted to get a taste of authentic Mexican Cuisine as part of Southside's existing diversified menu," Wilson says.
On Oct. 2, Southside will host Hispanic Heritage Day, which will feature a complete menu of Hispanic food and "as many Roberto Santibañez items as will fit into station layouts in the dining room," says Peter Schoebel, executive chef.
"It will be a pleasure to offer Roberto Santibañez's flavors of Mexico and his version of the flavors he loves and grew up with," Schoebel says. "People should be exposed to authentic foods of every country, instead of the commercial versions that water down the authenticity for American palates."
While Schoebel doesn't expect Southside's daily customer count of 3,200 to increase significantly during the Mex to the Max program, he says he expects the program to succeed in other ways.
"The reason that we are running this new promotion is to increase the guest experience satisfaction and continually change up the menu and offerings to always keep it fresh, new and different," Schoebel says.
This is the first time Southside has presented the dishes of a particular chef. However, the venue has showcased different food items during Black History Month and Asia-Pacific Heritage Month, Wilson says. Southside will host Mia Pham, a chef of Vietnamese and Thai cuisine at the Lemongrass Restaurant in Sacramento, Calif., in April.

For John Gecan, stalking the wild mushrooms in the laboratory is almost as much a hobby as it is part of his work as a scientist for the Food and Drug Administration. As the FDA's Sherlock Holmes of fungus, he has bottles of preserved specimens and sheaves of spore prints, graphic depictions used to identify specific mushrooms that are much more accurate than making eyeball comparisons with photos.
Gecan, who has spent years embroiled in both the science and lore of mushrooms, helps establish procedures for policing the increasing numbers of wild and cultivated fungus sold and eaten as food in the U.S.

I hope everyone is having a great week! It has been raining here (I hate the rain!), but being stuck in the house gave me the opportunity to look around and pick new projects to tackle.
The two things my boys detest are homework and CHORES! Over the years I have tried tons of chore charts and tons of different motivations (ie bribes) to try to get them to do their chores. My last attempt, I thought, was finally the chore chart that was going to work!! They got chore bucks for doing their chores and then they could trade in their bucks for fun prizes, treats or money. It worked great until my oldest decided to just do the chores that had the highest value and leave the rest, his brother caught on and well let's just say SYSTEM FAIL!
We tried the, "You have to do your chores whether you get allowance or not but if you do all of them without being told, you get your allowance." Umm………yeah another chore system failed! What was I thinking? I have to remind them to put on clean underwear every day!
Then it hit me. They don't seem motivated to slowly build up their allowance by doing one chore at a time. What if I just gave them their set allowance and if they don't do all the chores that I have paid them for, then they will be paying ME back? This system might just work!
I decided we needed new chore charts. The system needed to be fun and functional but most important I didn't want them on the fridge anymore. Here is a pic of my old chore charts, can you understand why they had to move?
If they weren't going on the fridge, I wanted them to be cute and durable. I love my new chalkboard that I just got as a gift, so that was my inspiration.
I had some old picture frames, so I spray painted them. I went to Home Depot and got a metal roof flashing sheet (my husband cut the one piece into (3) 8×10 pieces to fit in the frames). I primed and then painted them with chalkboard paint.
I purchased some chipboard letters and applied scrapbooking paper to them with Modge Podge. Now, I just needed cute magnets! I wanted something that the boys would like….bottle caps!! I purchased some envelope seals from Hobby lobby (love that store) and applied them to the bottle caps. Next, I found cute clip art for all their different chores and shrank them to fit the bottle caps. I applied an epoxy sticker over the whole thing, stuck a magnet on the back and waa laa!!
I thought they turned out cute and the boys loved them!
So here they are, our new chore charts!
Will the new system work?? I have no idea but even if it doesn't at least you can see my fridge now!!
Thanks so much Mandy for having me!
Hope everyone has a great week.
Linking to these great parties:

Ravens' ailing Brigance gets game ball
The game ball from the Baltimore Ravens' AFC playoff win over Tennessee last weekend when to its ailing director of player development, players said.
The Ravens' O.J. Brigance, who is wheelchair-bound and stricken with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig's disease, was given the game ball by Pro Bowl safety Ed Reed after Baltimore's 13-10 win in the AFC divisional playoff in Nashville, The Sun newspaper in Baltimore reported Tuesday.Brigance, 39, will be on the field when the Ravens face the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday for the AFC championship and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line despite experiencing difficulties in recent weeks in speaking clearly and loudly enough for normal conversation.
You can hear a pin drop whenever Brigance speaks, tight end Todd Heap told The Sun.
Everybody's talking, then everybody's listening, and all of us take it to heart when he talks.
It's such an honor to be part of what they are, said Brigance, a former player who won a Super Bowl championship as a Raven in 2000.
It's very rare for a man to allow another man to impart words to him, to open themselves up to another's life, and it's very impressive to me.

Lung op gives father dream Christmas with daughter
IT WAS a first Christmas of sorts for cystic fibrosis patient Paul Wynne, who was given the best gift of all this year -- a set of lungs.
A year ago the 29-year-old father of one's chances of surviving the chronic lung disease long enough to see his baby daughter Ella open her presents weren't promising.
But thanks to an organ donor, the Co Meath man underwent a double lung transplant and he is no longer struggling to breathe.
Paul told the Irish Independent: "This is my first Christmas that I can function normally and not have to worry about getting out of the chair. It's the first time I could put up the Christmas lights and do normal things around the house."
It was a different picture a year ago when his lungs had deteriorated to the point where he could only breathe using a portable oxygen tank 24 hours a day and spent several months in hospital.
He never thought he would see another Christmas.
But his life changed last January when he underwent a double lung transplant after being on the waiting list since 2006 and he was among a record number of lung transplants done at Dublin's Mater Hospital this year.
"Before I got the call, I sat on the side of my bed and started writing a letter to my (unborn) child. I was afraid I wouldn't get to see her or be able to do the usual things I would do with a child. Then, low and behold, the call came through," he said.
Although he is not out of the woods yet and must take immuno-suppression drugs to ward off his body rejecting the donated lungs, he is looking forward to the new year.
"It's fantastic. I can go on long walks without being winded. I can run up the stairs without getting out of breath whereas before the transplant I'd struggle to put on a pair of socks," he said.
Brendan Gilligan, chairman of the Heart and Lung Transplant Association, said Ireland has come on in leaps and bounds since the first lung transplant was conducted here in 2005. "The expertise is available here now and we're now seeing the result of it and we're delighted," he said.
Lung transplant surgeon Jim McCarthy, director of the Mater Hospital's National Centre for Cardiothoracic Surgery, said his team conducted a record 30 lung transplants in 2013.
"Firstly, it's due to the huge generosity of donors and their families at this incredibly stressful time. It's also due to the fact that donors have been managed very well in the various hospitals, so that there is a good chance of being able to retrieve organs, which are in good enough condition to transplant," he said.
The team hopes it will beat its own record next year by using a new technique called Ex-Vivo Lung Perfusion, or EVLP, which in layman's terms is like recycling shopworn lungs.
"If a lung that is retrieved is borderline and not suitable for transplantation it can be put on a rig and fluid can be pumped through it over a number of hours and one can try to improve the condition of the lung. If the lung condition improves it can be transplanted a number of hours after being retrieved," he explained.

i upgraded from mandrake 10.1 to madriva 2007 and now when i try to start it it asks me to enter a runlevel and no matter what i put in it says"no more processes left in this runlevel", im not sure what to do.
i also had trouble configuring my videocard and monitor when i installed it, no matter what i put it said something like, "dri module not loaded", i tried a nvidia tnt2 and ati radeon 9250 videocard, im not sure if that has anything to do with the problem im having now.

Sounds like /etc/inittab got hosed. Boot to a rescue cd rom. If it's anything modern it will probably detect your linux root fs and mount it somewhere in /mnt. Take a look at your etc/inittab file wherever your linux root has been mounted. Does it exist? What are the permissions? Do the contents look alright?

Singing pop songs has turned into something of an arms race of late. Thanks in no small part to the bear pit of TV talent shows, female singers are now required to holler louder, longer and more fiercely than the next girl; their notes need to bend more ways than a wrestler in a torture chamber. "Smashing it" is the grail – a display of firepower, not restraint; a surfeit of heat, to the detriment of nuance.
Jessie Ware, 27, from Brixton, is different. Having spent the past couple of years appearing on a number of tracks by post-dubstep types – she sang three tracks on SBTRKT's celebrated debut album last year – Ware is about to release her own debut, Devotion. She can smash it, but chooses not to. There are moments during tonight's lean, hungry headline set – 40 minutes, no encore – where Ware holds a big note then whips her head away from the microphone, pulling back from the overkill. It happens on Running, the last song in the set, and earlier, on No to Love, greeted by whoops each time. The appreciative crowd crammed into this small Brixton club is probably divided 70/30 between fans and her friends and family. Her mum hasn't bought all the tickets this time, Ware grins, but her friend Phil has brought the entire bridge club along.
Ware's Devotion comes out on Monday 20 August, and it replaces the fancy vocal vaulting de nos jours with a more glacial glide through British R&B, pop, soul and electronic music that owes far more to Sade than it does Adele (a friend of Ware's). You would not know it to hear her, but Ware went to school with Florence Welch, Jack Peñate and Maccabee Felix White.
Fellow south Londoner Katy B is more of a musical fellow traveller. Both she and Ware came up putting vocals on tracks with the swishy rattle of drum'n'bass or the judder of dubstep beneath them, before turning their aerated voices to bold pop. Sampha – another incumbent British soul voice – joins Ware on stage for two tracks tonight, the compelling, SBTRKT-produced vulnerable duet Valentine and, less successfully, What You Won't Do for Love.
But where Katy B sounds fresh and girlish, despite the hours she puts in clubbing, Ware seems more grown-up, something of a cross between Greek statuary and a glam pub landlady; she was, until fairly recently, a budding journalist on the Jewish Chronicle. Her best songs are downbeat, pregnant with tamped-down feeling. The greatest by far, tonight, is Wildest Moments, a big, forlorn tune about a volatile friendship where Ware's resigned sweetness plays off against the big drums and electronic feints.
The debt to Sade is one Ware admits freely, and it's not merely musical. Ware looks immaculate, her bequiffed up-do offset by big earrings and eyebrows sculpted as though by lasers. Her videos are luxe affairs (for now, on a budget) that hark back to the posing 80s, but in a way that doesn't make you cringe.
In person, though, Ware is no ice queen. She exhorts the front row to tell her if she gets lipstick on her teeth. She spends time explaining how songs came to be; who they are for. There's one, the slightly too gloomy Taking in Water, for her little brother; another, the slightly too breezy Sweet Talk, that she wrote with Julio Bashmore, a Bristol house DJ-turned-producer who shares credits on Devotion with the Invisible's Dave Okumu. Okumu joins in tonight as well, a big bear of a man whose resemblance to Soul II Soul's Jazzie B is coincidental.
But when her band – a mixed blessing of guitar, bass, drums and electronics – start up, Ware is transformed. She becomes her bone structure – elegant, chiselled. Mostly, the songs measure up. 110% retains a little drum'n'bass, but quickly transforms into the kind of brisk pop nugget that reminds you of the run of Scandinavian popstrels five years ago, headed by Robyn. Sometimes, as on Night Light, however, the fug of lounge funk threatens to suck Ware into disposability. The perils ahead are clear. Ware could easily become more soul-pop cannon fodder, just another coo in the churn of singers. To avoid that she needs to stay chilled.

I am having the following task at hand : 1. I already have a graphical editor (made using Graphiti) for diagrammatically representing and editing my Domain Model (which is being expressed using a DSL made in Xtext). 2. I have to provide a feature of automatic layouting in this graphical editor using the well-known KIELER[1] framework which provides algorithms for automatic layouting. Could anyone give me an idea as to how this task could be implemented. I have gathered the following hints and information in this respect: 1. Few of the previous posts in the forum says that the development team is working on providing such a kind of integration in Graphiti ( i.e. a implementation of Kieler layouting algorithms for graphical editor made in Graphiti ) www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/m/629616/ 2. The page no. 17 of "Graphiti 0.8.0 Release Review" says that Kieler project has integrated their layouting algorithms with Graphiti www.eclipse.org/graphiti/reviews/0.8.0ReleaseReview.pdf 3. The Graphiti FAQs no. 2 provides a snippet for integrating a layouter which comes with GEF into Graphiti. www.eclipse.org/graphiti/developers/faq.php 4. The Kieler project page provides a plugin (through svn) in this regard. rtsys.informatik.uni-kiel.de/svn/kieler/trunk/plugins/de.cau.cs.kieler.kaom.graphiti/ Even with these resources in hand, i am unable to understand how would the above mentioned task be implemented.

So, in Kieler, nodes and edges are sent in the form of an xml file to OGDF through JNI. OGDF then calculates the positions of the nodes and edges according to the selected layout mechanism. Those positions are then transformed according to the system in Kieler (in fact in OGDF a node is located by its center and it's not the same mechanism in Kieler if I remember well). So you have two solutions, either you use OGDF through Kieler in which case you have to transform your own nodes and edges to the equivalent in Kieler. Then Kieler will use his mechanism and you then get the new positions of the Kieler elements and you have to report them on your own elements. You can also directly access OGDF using the mechanism of Kieler. This has the advantage of being more direct than with Kieler as you don't have to use Kieler elements. In both case, take care that OGDF is using a GPL licence...]]> Sylvain EVEILLARD 2012-04-02T07:58:41-00:00 Re: Integrating Kieler algorithms into Graphiti editors https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/320714/1081579/#msg_1081579 I have the same problem like Jayant.

ALBANY — All winter long, the University at Albany women's basketball team has steamrolled through the America East. The Danes have chewed up the seven other teams participating in the league tournament, and, to many, it's a forgone conclusion that UAlbany will repeat as champion.
The title game is in six days, but first, the Danes have to get through their semifinal game against New Hampshire at 1 p.m. Sunday at SEFCU Arena. The Wildcats earned the right to face UAlbany with a 49-46 win over Stony Brook in a quarterfinal game Friday.
UAlbany got a bye into the semifinals after Maine opted not to play in the tournament following a bus accident at the end of the season.
The Danes are 25-3 and became just the seventh team to go through the league season unbeaten (16-0).

UALBANY vs. NEW HAMPSHIRE
What: America East Tournament semifinal
When: 1 p.m. Sunday
Where: SEFCU Arena, Albany
The past three teams to go unbeaten through the league season (Hartford in 2009-10, Boston University in 2008-09 and Maine in 2002-03) did not win the championship.
"I am sure there are teams that want to end our season," said UAlbany senior Ebone Henry, the league's Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year. "All we have to do is stay within our game plan."
No one has really been able to touch the Danes through the regular season. Their average margin of victory has been 23.1 points during the 16-game conference season. There have been a few close calls, however.
Hartford, which plays in the other Sunday semifinal against Vermont, took the Danes to overtime here, losing 55-48. Boston University, which is not playing in the tournament, lost to UAlbany twice, by seven points each time.
UAlbany coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, who was named America East Coach of the Year for the second straight season, isn't taking anything for granted. She is approaching this game like she does just about every other one.
"We will be the underdog, I always think that," she said. "I know we will not be living in the rear-view mirror. All we are doing is preparing for what is next."
The Danes had two different games against New Hampshire, which is coached by Maureen Magarity, the daughter of Army women's coach Dave Magarity. Dave Magarity also coached the men's team at Marist of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for 18 seasons.
In the Jan. 16 matchup with New Hampshire, the Danes drilled the Wildcats 78-43 at SEFCU Arena.
In the rematch on Feb. 27, UAlbany rallied from a 12-point deficit for a 55-46 win.
"We played really well for about 30 minutes," Maureen Magarity said. "In those last 10 minutes, Albany really showed why they are the regular-season champions. We are just really excited to be in the next round."
The winner of Sunday's semifinals will meet in the America East championship game Saturday night on the home court of the highest remaining seed.
"No one is talking about that," Abrahamson-Henderson said. "I know everyone thinks we are, but we aren't. We have seniors and these seniors are not going to mess around now."

What was your best experience in the field covering this story?
It was exciting to be able to use the latest technology to examine one of the most important figures of all time and to answer some longstanding questions surrounding his death. Thanks to the CT scan, we were able to conclude that King Tut was 19 years old when he died, a grown young man who would have been old enough and mature enough to be the leader of Egypt.
And he didn't die from being hit on the back of his head. He had a broken knee and evidence of broken bones in his heel, but he was otherwise healthy with no indication of genetic disorders. There's a very strong chance he died in some sort of chariot accident during sports or training or even warfare. We don't have all the answers; we may never have them. But we know now that he wasn't some little puppet child of the administration. It's very likely that he was just a rambunctious teenager driving his chariot too fast, as teenagers might do.
What was your worst experience in the field covering this story?
When Egypt's news media found out about this project, we received a lot of political pressure to not disturb King Tut. We were delayed by a month or two as newspaper articles protested American involvement and accused us of disturbing the dead by moving the country's most famous pharaoh. Zahi Hawass, head of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, had to go to parliament to explain that we were doing scientific work. We were just going to take King Tut out, run him through a noninvasive process, and put him right back. We weren't going to destroy anything. It took all that to request permission to do the job.
What was your quirkiest experience in the field covering this story?
The bulk of this story was shot in about three hours, but it took me about three months to get it through the in-house process. We started work about 5 p.m. on January 5. Then we took King Tut out, did the CT scan, and by about 8 p.m. Tut was back in his tomb. So January and February were spent shepherding the story across multiple platforms: National Geographic magazine, television, the exhibit, the catalog for the exhibit, the children's book, and the children's magazine article. We worked among the different departments with the same limited amount of photographs to make sure everyone had the best of the material for their specific needs.

Sharp exhibits mini LCDs with 10 microwatt power consumption
Samsung Mobile teams with Ozzy Osbourne cause, you know, no one understands what he can say
Sharp developed reflective mini LCD screens boasting a power consumption of 10μW. The devices were exhibited at FPD International 2008.
Sharp showcased one 1.4-inch monochrome and one 8-color display with a resolution of 96×96 (pictured above). Power consumption is reduced by placing a 1-bit memory into each pixel (image data stored in the memory is retained permanently). The two displays were powered with a 5V single power supply. Sharp also developed a special panel that is powered by solar energy only.
The company didn't give any technical details but said the new technology will probably be used in future mobile phones or remote controls.

This year we celebrate 50 years of the ANU Film Group. From early beginnings in the Physics Lecture Theatre screening films on a borrowed 16mm projector – all the way to what you see today. To do so, we have put together a series of special events throughout the year that will take a look back at some of the films, events and key moments in the past five decades of Film Group.
We invite you all to join us in becoming a part of our history and to celebrate this very special milestone with us by enjoying and participating in the fantastic events we have planned.
Let's raise a glass to the biggest and best film society in Australia! To mark the date of our very first recorded screening 50 years ago, we're bringing back Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove – our most frequently screened film and the second film ever screened from that first programme in 1966.
Keep an eye out for the invitation to join us for a special birthday gathering before the film too.
Hollywood has given the Film Group so many of our most loved, as well as some of our most loathed, films over the last 50 years. So what better way to tip our hat to Tinseltown than to share in the (virtual) glitz and glamour of their night of nights, the Oscars?
There will be tears and laughter, as well as fun and games both on and off screen – so be sure to join us for our special big screen presentation of the 88th Annual Academy Awards!
Whether they win or lose, the fims we are screening this week are definitely worth a watch. With a combined total of 18 Oscar nominations between them, films like these are why the Film Group has existed for so long – so come and experience some of the best cinematic achievements of the year.
Nominated for: Best Documentary - Feature
Nominated for: Best Supporting Actor - Sylvester Stallone
Nominated for:
Nominated for:
Films wouldn't be much without the amazing costumes that help bring the stories to life.
In a tribute to some of the most iconic costumes ever made, we encourage you to dress up to get into the spirit of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. There may or may not be prizes. But there will definitely be photographs taken – and a lot of kudos and glory for all who participate.
One of the most loved things about past Film Group programmes have been our film pairings. Some are purely economic, but others are truly genius and create what we love about the Film Group experience: either the opportunity to watch a second lm that you may not have otherwise seen, or the chance to enjoy two films back-to-back that compliment each other effortlessly.
This year, we are re-introducing the concept of Themed Nights and bring you the following selection:
Of all the events suggested by members for our 50th anniversary, none were as frequently received as requests for us to showcase some of the best films from ANU Film Group history. Despite over 7,000 films screened over the past 50 years, we decided to pick just one iconic film from each of the past five decades that, like us, is also celebrating a special anniversary this year.
This semester we are bringing you screen gems from the years 1966, 1976 and 1986, with more to come from later decades next semester. We hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane! And there's more coming with films from 1996 and 2006 in Semester Two.
While the ANU Film Group is primarily about giving you the opportunity to enjoy great films, we also encourage you to think about them, talk about them, and be inspired or changed by them.
In celebrating our 50th year, we're bringing you some very special Q&A screenings to do just that.
Followed by Post-Screening Q&A with Writer/Director Declan Shrubb and guests

Free Pregnancy Verification & Ultrasounds
After taking a free pregnancy test at Hope Pregnancy Center, the next step is verifying that your pregnancy is viable. Hope Pregnancy Center provides free limited ultrasounds to verify your pregnancy, determine if it is a viable and healthy pregnancy, and give an approximate date to your pregnancy.
What is an Ultrasound?
An ultrasound is a very simple and painless procedure. With an ultrasound we can determine approximately how long you have been pregnant, whether your pregnancy is safely located in your uterus, and if the pregnancy is viable.
In more detail, an ultrasound uses sound to show pictures of your pregnancy to you and the ultrasound technician. We spread a clear jelly on your stomach, and then use a special ultrasound microphone to "listen" to your pregnancy. Unlike an X-ray, the microphone does not use any radiation, which makes it completely safe for both you and your developing pregnancy. The ultrasound device bounces sound waves off your uterus, and those sound waves are then turned into a clear picture for you to see.
What Can a Free Ultrasound Tell Me?
We provide free ultrasounds for a variety of reasons. Ultrasounds are an excellent way to determine whether a pregnancy is healthy and viable, as well as approximately how old it is. This information is very important to have when you're considering your options for your pregnancy.
Knowing if your pregnancy is viable is important. Approximately 25% of pregnancies naturally self-terminate. An ultrasound can help us tell if your pregnancy is at risk of miscarriage. It can also tell us if your pregnancy is ectopic – if the embryo is growing somewhere other than your uterus. In some cases a pregnancy can start in your fallopian tubes (known as a tubal pregnancy) or in your cervix. These pregnancies are not viable, and they also pose a significant health risk to the mother. It's important to determine early if your pregnancy is viable for these reasons.
An ultrasound can also tell approximately how far along your pregnancy is. Big changes happen in your pregnancy week by week, and a free ultrasound can give us a lot of information on fetal development. If you are considering an abortion, your options change depending on how long you have been pregnant. Our goal is to give you the most accurate information so you can make an informed decision about your pregnancy. To learn more about what your options are for abortion and how they change as your pregnancy progresses, visit our Abortion Education page.
Please note that we do not use our ultrasounds to determine the sex of your pregnancy. Some restrictions apply to our free ultrasound program.

One of the great pleasures of watching American politics is seeing pundits and politicians who have been tainted by their own scandals attack others politicians and celebrities currently in the public eye.
This is the case with Bill O'Reilly, whose recent Fox News "Talking Points" lamented Hillary Clinton's sky-high approval ratings with the American people.
Says O'Reilly —
It's clear Americans are not holding her accountable. In a new Fox News poll 59 percent of Americans approve of Secretary Clinton's job performance. Just 29 percent disapprove. So clearly the folks think she's been effective running the State Department.
Clearly annoyed that the American people have been so misled about the Secretary of State's performance over the past four years, the O"Reilly Factor host decided to bring up the controversial, unprovenallegation that Hillary got some special deal while dabbling in commodities trading when husband Bill Clinton was president.
What a smarmy, desperate move by O'Reilly. As noted, there has never been any proof to support this allegation. In fact, HCQ hired an experienced commodities trader to analyze her trades. His conclusion was that everything was above-board and that the reported profits were not at all unusual.
But here is O'Reilly, who can't find anything substantive to use against Hillary, dredging up pure hearsay, an unsubstantiated accusation kept alive by far-right misogynists. It is within this context that he says the Secretary should be advertising "teflon."
Since he mentioned teflon and Hillary's success at surviving — if not thriving — in the face of such fabrications, we should mention that Bill O'Reilly had a REAL scandal — proven, vetted, the subject of legal action. The short version is that Bill is or was a chronic sexual predator. One of his associate producers, Andrea Mackris, sued O'Reilly for his criminal behavior.
This is how New York magazine summarized it —
Mackris, 33, alleged the blunt talking head urged her to "just use your vibrator to blow off steam" and bragged about his international sexual exploits, including, but not limited to, "a little short brown woman" in a Bali massage cabana, two "really wild" Scandinavian stewardesses, and a Thai-sex-show "backroom" special. O'Reilly allegedly touched himself while detailing a shower fantasy featuring Mackris and "that little loofah thing" but later in the call, evidently flustered, referred to the prop as a "falafel thing."
Now how creepy is that! What a guy! Offering sex advice to his producer.
The magazine story goes on to note that O'Reilly's ratings went up 30% after the story. It appears the far-right loons who watch his show actually believe that sexual harassment is a good thing, something to be rewarded. And all that adulation from the right has led him to think we have forgotten what he did.
No, Bill, we won't forget. You're a pervert.
The point, of course, is that if anyone out there besides Dick Morris should be selling teflon, it is O'Reilly. I mean, other than smug neo-cons, who can really watch this guy and not laugh at his self-righteous pretensions?

'Race', Ethnicity and Adoption
Open University Press, Jan 1, 2000 - Social Science - 167 pages
This book asks what the needs of adopted minority ethnic children are and to what extent can white families meet those needs. It asks should the emphasis on ethnic matching of children and families in adoption be relaxed? This book reviews the long running and often fierce controversy surrounding the adoption of black and minority children, either transracially into white families or into matched "same race' placements. Through analysis of research and writings of protagonists, the core concepts -- namely the nature and salience of racial/ethnic identity, cultural heritage and dealing with racism -- are explored and located within broader debates on 'race' and the family. The history of the controversy is set out in terms of the competing paradigms offered by liberalism and black radicalism, and more recent 'post-structuralist' influences. The author argues the need to see adoption (and especially that of black children) as inherently political and contested. While broadly supporting the case for 'same race' adoption, it is suggested that this must rest on acknowledgement of, and engagement with, social and psychological complexities, rather than their suppression beneath doctrinaire formulae.
'Race', Ethnicity and Adoption sets the issues in the wider context of a multiracial society and its politics, and will be of particular interest to social workers and child care professionals, but will also appeal more widely to students of sociology, and social and p

Institutional and self-directed investors alike have embraced ETFs for their ease-of-use, cost-efficiency, and unparalleled transparency; these financial instruments have proven to be worthy "core building" blocs for countless portfolios, in addition to serving as "tactical tools" for more active traders. F-Squared Investments, the second largest manager of ETF portfolios on the street next to Schwab's Windhaven, has been utilizing these innovative funds for clients of all walks for over a decade now. Richard B. Weed, Managing Director of Alternative Investments at F-Squared, recently took time to discuss the role that ETFs play at his firm and what the industry's future may have in store [Download Free Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time].
ETF Database (ETFdb): How long have you been using ETFs for? Do you see this product structure as the preferred means for building diversified, low-cost, long-term portfolios?
Richard B. Weed (RW): We have been using ETFs for over a decade as a fundamental building block to implement our strategies, which focus on protecting investor capital in down markets while offering meaningful participating in bull markets. Our strategies are quantitatively-based and can aggressively de-risk portfolios in bear markets in order to protect our clients from losses – we call this "investing with airbags." We believe ETFs are a transparent and efficient means to get exposure to market sectors and their liquidity enables us to implement dynamic risking and de-risking of portfolios [see also The Complete Visual History of SPY].
In our AlphaSector model, ETFs pricing and volatility data are a core input to our quantitative engine, so execution through ETFs is particularly efficient and appropriate for us. In our core AlphaSector long-only equity and long-short strategies we invest in 9 sectors of the S&P 500. ETFs allow us to enter and exit these sectors rapidly and at an extremely low cost compared to purchasing a basket of the underlying securities one by one.
ETFdb: Are there asset classes where you're more comfortable using ETFs and others where you prefer mutual funds or other vehicles?
RW: There is no theoretical reason why you would not use ETFs for all asset classes but in practice there are differences in liquidity and index replication that make some ETFs superior to others. We have strict requirements for ETFs to display certain characteristics particularly in terms of cost and liquidity before they become eligible for inclusion in our strategies. We need ETFs that have sufficient liquidity and support from sponsors and market makers to ensure that our actively managed strategies can be implemented with the least amount of market impact for our clients and at minimal implementation cost.
ETFdb: ETFs have received some bad press over the past few years. Have you had any bad experiences with ETFs that turned you off?
RW: Most of the negative press has involved so-called "synthetic" ETFs that gain market exposure through swaps. The credit risk, collateral quality and opaqueness of the relationship between the sponsor and broker-dealer have definitely raised questions. We rely exclusively on traditional ETFs that replicate indices using physical underlying securities. We are very conscious of risk in our portfolios and, as such, we do not use derivatives that could cause liquidity issues in a crisis, or expose our clients to counterparty credit risk. In 2008, we were able to move into cash rapidly, which protected investor capital during a very traumatic time in the market. (Our AlphaSector strategy was only down roughly 2 percent in 2008)
ETFdb: What do you expect in terms of ETF adoption going forward? What types of investors have been slow to adopt or are potentially major beneficiaries of embracing ETFs?
RW: We believe ETFs continue to have a bright future. Adoption by both institutions and retail investors will continue to expand as people discover how the "Lego" building block approach to investing can create a return stream to meet almost any investor's need. There are many strategies that can be implemented using ETFs and we believe that their ease of use and flexibility will lower the barriers to entry in the industry and allow managers with innovative strategies across asset classes and investment styles to develop new business models [see also 10 Questions About ETFs You've Been Too Afraid To Ask].
ETFdb: How are your strategies evolving in the current environment?
RW: We continue to develop strategies that meet the real needs of investors – that is, meaningfully participating in markets when they are rising, but employing mechanisms to avoid dramatic losses. We have more than doubled our asset base to about $15 billion over the last two years as investors have embraced our approach to investing and risk management. The next few years will be challenging as investors looking for performance are faced with the end of the 30-year rally in bonds. This will require a re-thinking of how portfolios are assembled and ETFs will contribute to the flexibility for firms like ours to design appropriate solutions.
Bottom Line: Whether you are managing a billion dollar portfolio for a client or planning your own IRA, ETFs warrant a closer look from anyone looking to minimize investing costs over the long-haul, while at the same time enjoying the ability to easily access virtually any asset class around the globe with transparency.

I received the shopping bag at right, for free, from a local Hannaford supermarket the other day because I bought a $1.99 bunch of Nature's Place brand organic herbs.
It's a good-size bag — 15½ inches across, 14 inches tall, with side gussets that allow it to expand to 8 inches deep — and it seems to have sturdy handles and construction. There are also four panels on the inside walls to hold bottles in place. On the opposite side from the seafood pasta photo is a quote from George Bernard Shaw: "There is no lover sincerer than the love of food."
Update (the following wording is slightly expanded and tweaked but there are no major changes): The free-bag promotion runs through May 1 and is available with the purchase of any Hannaford Nature's Place product; one bag per visit. Shoppers who bring in these or any other reusable bags to carry home their groceries will receive a 5-cent credit per bag from Hannaford. Honest Weight Food Co-Op in Albany offers a similar discount for bringing your own reusable bag.
I like the idea, but this is going to take some getting used to. I just don't think of myself as a tote-bag kind of guy, especially not this tote bag.

Dear Ted:
Russell Brand's tribute to Amy Winehouse at the MTV VMAs was really good! How is he doing? Is he still clean, or does he have a Vice about him still doing drugs? That would be really sad seeing as he said people can get clean.
Dear High on Life:
It was nice to see Russell talk about his longtime pal (his written words were pretty touching too), so I'm happy to report he's clean as a whistle. At least, when it comes to dubious drugs. As I'm sure you already know, Brand (and his wifey-poo too) are Blind Vice Superstars. He's just not in there for anything illegal.
Dear Ted:
Can you give us clues as to what Olivia Wilde's B.V. is? Is it something that could hurt her career?
Dear Wilde Side:
Hardly, babe. In fact, so far it's only helped her career. As shocking as that may be, sometimes Vices are good for biz—bet ya didn't think of that, did you, J? And it's certainly not as naughty of a B.V. as, say, that other Olivia seen about town: Munn.
Dear Ted:
I am intrigued by Ryan Murphy's new show American Horror Story. Do you think any Glee stars will drop in for guest roles? I would love to see Lea Michele on the show. Although, I think Chord Overstreet or John Stamos could use the work more!
Dear Fright Night:
That's a bloody brilliant idea, Lisa (especially for the divine Ms. Michele), but I wouldn't count on it. The Gleekers are far too busy on Ry's show-tunes croonin' set to test their scare tactics. As for Chord? He's already landed another gig on the small screen. Stamos is a whole different story.
Dear Ted:
Do you think we will have some Robsten moments soon? It's really hard for me to see them apart—she in London and he in L.A. Who do you think is taking it harder? Who do you think will make a bigger effort to be with the other?
Dear PDA Deprived:
I think you might be taking it hardest, Noelle. Well, you and all the Robsten fanatics. For the gajillionth time, Rob and Kristen aren't fretting the temporary distance, especially seeing as they know they'll have plenty of time to get cozy on the Breaking Dawn press tour.
Dear Ted:
I've been wondering how Hard-Nipple Nick and his famous wife are doing. Is he still with his famous BF, or has he moved on? I find Mr. and Ms. Nick's respective partners very interesting. What have they been up to?
Dear Nick of Time:
Didn't you hear the dirt on Nicky I dished last week? He's got bigger problems than whose bed he's hopping in these days...Like who's spilling the beans on his sexy little secrets! But anyway, when Nick finds the time, he certainly still sees his man on the side. Just far more discreetly, these days.
Dear Ted:
Please tell me you've hated an actor or actress without really understanding why. For me, that actress is Blake Lively. I don't understand her appeal, and I was heartbroken when she got Savages over Amber Heard and Abbie Cornish. Do you have any insight as to how she got that role and how long her flame will last?
Dear Playing the Part:
Blake knows how to get into character, whether you think she's a good actress or not. But don't worry about the blonde babes you like. They're keeping plenty busy playing Playboy bunnies and royal romancers, respectively.

MARK COLVIN: What a difference an ocean makes.
In Sydney today the city's biggest-selling paper splashed a story about how the Prime Minister Kevin Rudd allegedly overworks his staff.
In the US though, president Obama was praising Mr Rudd for being 'pragmatic' and 'humble'.
In an interview for tonight's 7.30 Report on ABC Television, President Obama pays tribute to Kevin Rudd for his cooperation on the world stage.
He spoke to Kerry O'Brien.
BARACK OBAMA: Kevin is somebody who I probably share as much as a world view as any world leader out there. I find him smart, but humble. He works wonderfully well in multi-lateral settings. He's always constructive, incisive. I think he comes to the job wanting to provide better opportunities not just for this generation but for the next.
KERRY O'BRIEN: You once famously said of the war in Iraq, 'I'm not opposed to all wars; I'm opposed to dumb wars'. Is Afghanistan now at risk of becoming a dumb war?
BARACK OBAMA: No I think Afghanistan is a necessary mission. It's a difficult one. The reason we are there is very clearly defined; Al Qaeda used it as a launching point for an attack that killed 3,000 Americans, we have to root out terrorist networks that are able to mount, not just the sorts of attacks that we saw on 9/11 but also the sorts of attacks that we saw on Bali that had such a devastating attack on Australian nationals.
Australia is the largest non-NATO contributor to our efforts there. We are grateful for the sacrifice and Prime Minister Rudd and I are in constant consultation about how we move that effort forward in a way that stabilises Afghanistan, that trains up Afghan security forces, so that we are able to remove our security forces but we have confidence that Afghan will not return to a launching point for Al Qaeda operations.
KERRY O'BRIEN: When you started campaigning for the presidency you talked of the war in Afghanistan being in its 7th year; it's now in its 9th year. You're not hearing the echoes of Vietnam in that are you?
BARACK OBAMA: Well I would dispute the notion that it's not getting better. I do think that what we've seen is a blunting of the momentum of the Taliban, which had been building up in the year prior to me taking office. So I think we've got some positive trends. But there is no doubt that this is a difficult task. We need to begin drawing down our troops in 2011. We can't be there in perpetuity. Neither the American people nor the Australian people should be asked to carry that burden any longer than it needs to be carried.
MARK COLVIN: The US president Barack Obama speaking to Kerry O'Brien; the full interview will be tonight on the 7.30 Report on ABC1.

We share a world view: Obama on Rudd
