Hosts South Africa beat Angola 2-0 in Durban, climbing to the top of Group A, in their second match of the continental competition at a near-capacity Moses Mabhida Stadium. "The team show commitment to winning and they are flying the flag high," said Mbalula, who had handed out the jerseys to the players before the match. "We are proud of them and will continue supporting them for their upcoming games." Bafana Bafana, who had drawn 0-0 against Cape Verde Islands in the tournament opener on Saturday, face Morocco in their final match of the group stages in Durban on Sunday.

Sunday, July 7, is the 30th anniversary for Morning Edition Cafe in Butchers Hill. It's also its last day.
After three decades, Brian Beaven is closing up his Vermont-style cafe, where the specialty was always breakfast, even in the early years when it was also served dinner.
When it opened in 1983, Morning Edition was one of the city's first restaurants to specialize in brunch, and few Baltimoreans back then were familiar with the Butchers Hill neighborhood, much less thought of it as a dining destination.
The cafe was a charmer. The food, especially in the early days, had a gourmet flourish - one of the early favorites were scallops-stuffed croissants. But Morning Edition's appeal was rooted in the kind of nut-bread wholesomeness that made the "Moosewood Cookbook" a touchstone for a generation of new home cooks.
Beaven said he had started planning a few years ago to close Morning Edition when it turned 30. A former schoolteacher, Beaven co-founded the cafe with Tom Looney, who went on to open Helen's Garden and now co-owns the Gypsy Queen food trucks.
Beaven said he wasn't publicizing the last day. But he was prepared for a good showing from the regular crowd, who learned of the closing from a sign he posted on the inside of the cafe's front door.
"Good Bye Folks - the Morning Edition will be permanently retiring on Sunday, July 7th - our 30th Anniversary," it said. "To all of our patrons and friends ... all two of you, as the 'Car Talk Boyz' would say, many thanks for three decades of memories."

The modest farmhouse at 1090 Centre Street was originally the home of Jabez Lewis and his relatives, until 1882 when the Adams Nervine Asylum acquired the property. From 1885 to 1917, the Arboretum leased the house to accommodate its first plant propagator, Jackson Dawson, as well as an additional acre of land that it utilized for plant propagation. The Arboretum purchased the house between 1924 and 1927, along with five acres of land subsequently used for nurseries, greenhouses, and other services. The building housed members of the Arboretum staff until 1990, and was last used for temporary office space during the Hunnewell Building renovation in 1993. Harvard University recognizes the structure's historic value as one of the few remaining Federal-era houses that formerly lined Centre Street in Jamaica Plain (formerly West Roxbury).
The house sits on a Harvard-owned parcel of land used to support the Arboretum's horticultural operations. These operations fulfill the institution's responsibility to protect and maintain the historic, Olmsted/Sargent-designed landscape as a defining element of the Arboretum's National Historic Landmark designation. While Harvard recognizes and understands the Boston Landmarks Commission's interest in preserving the house, this desire must be balanced with the broader historic preservation goal of maintaining and protecting the Arboretum's historic landscape. In considering the parcel at 1090 Centre Street, Harvard seeks to balance two public interests—the preservation and maintenance of the Arboretum's historic Olmsted/Sargent landscape and preservation of the historic house. It is committed to finding an appropriate solution to the long-term stewardship of both resources.
The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is the oldest public arboretum in North America and one of the world's leading centers for the study of plants. A unique blend of beloved public landscape and respected research institution, the Arboretum provides and supports world-class research, horticulture, and education programs that foster the understanding, appreciation, and preservation of trees. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and the Arboretum's first director, Charles Sprague Sargent, the Arnold Arboretum is a National Historic Landmark and one of the best preserved Olmsted landscapes. Harvard provides exemplary care and stewardship of the Arboretum and its horticultural collections, and maintains the landscape—a jewel in Boston's Emerald Necklace—as a public resource for the citizens of Boston and the more than 200,000 visitors who enjoy the Arboretum each year.

So I guess we are a little late to the show, but you should still have a few hours left to pledge money towards the liberation of all games (and more) done by a guy that goes by the name Bryan Lunduke.
Amongst the games is the crazy Linux Tycoon in which you can roll your own OS:
And other such niche titles, but there seem to be some good tools in the deal too.
IHMO this seems to be rather an experiment, and the guy is promising to refund the money if he doesn't reach the goal of US $4000 by today (Yeah I said we are late, and I have no good excuse as it was posted a few days ago in our forums :-/ ).
So far he has gotten a bit more then half of it, so maybe it's still possible to reach the goal. However I guess the time was just a bit too short, and the games offered also a bit too not mainstream for this to really have a chance.
Edit: He extended the deadline until Friday, as the goal is almost reached.

Your point about the HPC market is valid, though what has happened is that IB was developed from the storage 'world' and happened to find a niche in HPC.

There is often a lot of criticism over expensive transit projects that aren't fully utilized when they are initially built. I'm not advocating transit projects to nowhere, but transportation projects shape growth. If we want to build more transit-oriented developments we need to start by building more transit.
Sometimes we buy too much of a good thing. For example you could buy too many fruits and vegetables and they could go bad before you have a chance to eat them. Fortunately infrastructure projects don't go bad (although they do take money to operate and maintain). I cannot find many wasteful transportation projects that have been built – there are only a handful of airports that come to mind. Even projects that were initially heavily criticized for lower than expected initial ridership, such as BART, have turned the corner over time. Largely this is because of the transportation/land-use connection – if you build it they will come, sometimes it just takes awhile.
Critics will say that this fact ignores that there are trade offs between transit investment decisions. It is true that there are trade offs. However, we need to look at these trade offs over a longer period of time – not just a handful of years after a project opens. It takes time for developments to take shape, often times decades. Yet if these changes are to take shape we need to start think about shaping them now with proper, large scale investments in urban and regional rail.
Unfortunately, buses don't have the same affect in shaping land-use decisions as rail does. (Trust me, I wish buses did, then transportation planning would be easy.) Rail isn't just an efficient way to move people – it's a monument: it says we are here to stay, you can rely on us. Developments inherently involve risk and the best way to attract developers is to minimize the downside risk. Often times this involves perception. Take for example a bank: banks are large stately buildings that convey stability, power, safety and above all that "we're not going anywhere." A developer wouldn't take out a loan from someone dealing out of the side of his car because he could just take off. Likewise a developer won't base his decision to develop on a bus line. A person might rent an apartment for a bus line, but developers want something more.
Still, critics will argue that the present state of affairs (in where transit is being cut but capital intensive projects are being fast tracked) is unjust. In Oakland, California for example transit 'advocates' are trying to stop an airport connector by claiming civil rights violations. I agree that the cuts that are being implemented in transit service are unjust. However, we need to focus our efforts on the lack of state and federal government funding in areas of need – not on areas where there is funding.

In Our Community Corner: Meet Tony Chen (aka: 'SinoSoul')
Each week we talk to a member of the Serious Eats community. This week we chatted with SinoSoul, a well-traveled, outspoken, eater from Southern California. -The Mgmt.
Name: Tony Chen
Location: LA adjacent.
Occupation: Small business owner
Website/Twitter: sinosoul.com, @sinosoul
Some of the posts on your blog focus on value and dining economically, is this important to you?
A couple of years ago after I ate through Southeast Asia for over a month, I realized, despite having consumed over a house down payment's worth of restaurant meals, people overseas eat better and at a lower overall cost even though their wheat, rice, and pork cost more due to differing national food policies. I now try to shun the Providence/Jean George/Everest type restaurants and stick to ethnic meals, be it halal kebabs & sangak, a bowl of khao soi, or some dabeli. There was an entire book published related to this idealogy recently.
What is one of your earliest food memories?
Going home after school to watch cooking shows in between King Beast Go Lion and Spaceship Battle Yamato maybe in second or third grade. Shortly after, a group of kids from my class ended up at our apartment, and I stood on a stool to make ketchup egg fried rice because everyone was hungry.
What is the most memorable bite of food you've ever eaten, can you describe it?
Yolk over tomato marmalade at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, on a 9/11 anniversary. it's an egg yolk from BH's own flock, and a bit of tomatoes. It tasted like plants and animals melded in one wee bite. Got me feeling very new-age for a split second. And then I felt guilt-ridden, I was in bougie country, having a solo $150 meal.
When people come to visit Los Angeles where do recommend they eat?
Depends on the visitor's dining affinities, but something like: Langers, Darabar, Huong Giang, Yoma Burmese, Pailin, Dean Sin World, Can Coon Thai, Torihei. Star Pochang, If you don't enjoy Asian food, I'm probably not hanging out with you for long.
Seems like you've spent some time in NY and LA, which one is the better food city?
Not better, only different. Big ticket meals and getting drunk while eating, NYC for sure. $2.50 banh mi, $1 al pastor tacos? LA.
Is there something that you've eaten recently that you can't stop thinking about?
Indonesian Sulawesi cuisine at Wok Coco, Anaheim, CA -- crazy Indo food. Chicken cooked in the style of rintek wook (dog stew) owned by an ex-tattoo artist and an ex-banker Indonesian couple.
What do you love to cook most? Is there a special dish that you would consider your signature?
I like to ship in Tennshootoe from G&W Hamery, and pair it with a bunch of compotes/nuts/olives from local jammers, plop down a glob of DiStefano burrata and call that a "course". No fire required, and you get to tell people you're serving the same quality ham as Umamicatessen. If I had to cook, probably coconut cream of roasted kabocha with lemongrass creme fraiche, with whatever yard aromatics I have, sprinkled with Kampot pepper from the Pepper Project.
What is the most disastrous dish you've ever attempted to cook?
Thai fried thousand year old eggs with fried holy basil. Was in a hurry, the basil was too wet and the kitchen caught fire. Also, I had the wrong soy sauce which was traumatizing.
What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Hey Song Sarsi (Taiwanese sarsaparilla soda) paired with unending packs of roasted laver (seaweed). I've been told the combo is rather disgusting. It costs an obscene amount of food miles, and is ridiculously high in salt and sugar. Granted, I haven't done that 10 years.
What is your least favorite kitchen task?
Caramelizing onions. What a waste of time. Someone should just grow caramelized onions. I'm OK if Monsanto gene sequenced caramelized onions.
Is there anything you hate eating?
Filipino Cuisine. Greasy fat bombs. Rather gross. Other than that, I have a moral aversion against rooster sriracha. I also rather despise most Korean food served in restaurants these days.
When you leave Los Angeles where will your last meal be?
Last time I left LA, the last meal was Roy's Hawaiian. It was to mock the girlfriend because her last boyfriend was "Roy". We're married so.. what a stupid meal choice!
A ball of wadded up prosciutto in whisky bomb. Choking on ham would be a pretty good way to die. Or maybe riding the motorbike off Tuna Canyon Rd while choking on ham, naked. An aside: why is Serious Eats so obsessed with the pre-death meal?? It's part of the profile Q's too, isn't it? I'll probably have esophageal cancer, and won't be able to eat a damn thing. I revolt against this question.

Confident Orators
By Matt Hawkins
December 10, 2013
The Hilltop bustled December 6-7 with activity from 300 high school students during the annual George Armstrong Heart of Illinois Invitational and Janssen Oratorical Contest. Students gave 2,000 speeches in 30 events and three walked away with a total $40,000 in scholarships through the Janssen competition.
"It's a very exciting time," Bradley forensics director Ken Young said. "When high schoolers come to campus, it reminds me of the first time I came to Bradley being a little star-struck. The enthusiasm makes it all worth it."
Bradley alumni and prospective students were among the guests, as teams traveled from as far as California to participate.
"I had a wonderful experience here from the speech team to the Bradley family," said Pricilla Merritt '12, assistant coach for Fullerton (Calif.) Union High School. "It's a great community here. To come back here bringing my kids is wonderful. They see the town and they're so excited to compete and show the Midwest what we have to offer."
Merritt and Fullerton's head coach, Sal Tinajero '95, use the Midwest tournament to showcase their alma mater and to push their students toward higher education.
"We encourage all students to go to college and that's why we want them to come to Bradley," Merritt said. "We have students who don't understand the value of education so we teach them that education matters. It's amazing to watch them as the years go on."
The tournament also reunited many who met at the annual Summer Forensics Institute. Bradley's speech team hosts the two-week camp each July for high school students.
"It's amazing because I got to learn so much," said prospective student Yasmin Younis of St. Louis. "And, it's nice seeing people come back because friendships we made at camp."
Janssen scholarship competitor Jessica DeMunbrun of St. Louis eyed both the potential financial help and the chance to polish her oratory skills.
"It signifies all the hard work I put into it," she said. "I'm excited to finally show off what I'm doing and at the same time see what other people are doing."
Bradley's speech team rolls out the university's red carpet to create the positive learning environment with an eye on attracting future Braves.
"We work hard not only to be a point of national distinction for the university but to take responsibility for the mission of the university to further diversity," Young said. "We take pride in bringing students across the country to share the experiences of students here."
The top-prize $15,000 scholarship was awarded to Sarah Brashear of Marian High School (Omaha, Neb.). Kevin Hill of Neuqua Valley (Naperville) received the second-place $13,000 scholarship and Meghan Weston of Fullerton, Calif., received the third-place $12,000 award.
Downers Grove North won the team competition, with Munster (Ind.) second, Normal University High third, Parkway West (Ballwin, Mo.) fourth and Fullerton (Calif.) fifth.

Change Is in the Air in Season 1, Episode 5 of 'Nashville'
Change was in the air for most of the major characters on ABC's 'Nashville' Wednesday night (Nov. 7). In a well-written episode titled 'Move It on Over,' some of the principals were deciding on new changes, while others were struggling to deal with the changes brought about by old choices.
Last week's episode left Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panetierre) in a tough spot. This week kicked off with Juliette in an all-night recording session, driving her band and producers to the edge by refusing to wrap up a track they felt was finished -- because she didn't want to go home and face her drug addict mother. That was probably a good call, since when she did return home, she found dear old Mom passed out in bed with some strange man she'd picked up, forcing an embarrassing confrontation in front of her neighbors.
Juliette enlisted help from Deacon, who offered to step in because of his own past struggles with addiction. And because Juliette's mom is a longtime fan of his, she allowed herself to be talked into entering the same rehab program that worked for him -- but not before losing control and slapping Juliette, who later admitted that she'd been physically abusive off and on during her childhood.
Deacon (Charles Esten) and Rayna (Connie Britton) were still dealing with their decision not to work together anymore in this episode of 'Nashville,' which isn't as easy as it seems, since they've written so many songs together. That means ongoing business -- in this case, Rayna's reluctant decision to film a commercial using one of their co-written hits meant Deacon would have to sign off on changes to the lyric, which he refused to do, causing even more friction between the longtime friends and former lovers. Triggered by that, as well as helping Juliette's mom with her addiction, Deacon ended up getting arrested after a brawl and nearly compromised his own sobriety.
Season 1, Episode 5 of 'Nashville' also brought more tension between Scarlett (Clare Bowen) and Avery (Jonathan Jackson), who are still trying to work through his jealousy since she and Gunnar (Sam Palladio) scored a publishing deal. His offer to back them up by playing guitar at an audition for Lady Antebellum's producer went horribly wrong when he stole the spotlight with his guitar playing, causing another round of confrontations.
Meanwhile, we finally found out what Teddy (Eric Close) has been hiding during his mayoral campaign. He revealed to Lamar (Powers Boothe) that when a land development deal of his started to come undone, he "floated" $2 million dollars to get it done -- a nicer-sounding term for embezzlement, which Peggy (Kimberly Williams-Paisley) was also involved in. And though Lamar assured his son-in-law and political puppet that he would take care of everything, last night's episode ended with more potential trouble for Teddy and Peggy when a photographer surreptitiously photographed them at one of their late-night clandestine meetings -- photographs that, if made public, are sure not to sit well with either his constituency or his wife.

Reviewed by Allyson N. (age 9)
I think the book is the book our teacher read to our class but in this book Emily is a little girl writing letters to her teacher thinking there is a whale in her pond. I like the book because it is always written like a letter and that's what made me want to turn the page to see what her teacher says about what Emily wrote. Emily sort of reminded me of me because she sends letters to her teacher and I give letters and pictures to my teacher. The whale changes in the story because in the beginning you only see the tail but later in the story you get to see the head of the whale.
I recommend this book to people who just want to read a good book or who like to write letters and receive them because the book is all letters that the teacher and Emily are sending to each other and it is a good book.

The Allotment, Dover
So, one chilly but cheeringly sunny October afternoon, we rolled up outside the rather splendid Town Hall (worth a visit in itself, honest). And there, across the road, and largely obscured by a million speeding cars, was our modest little venue:
If outside was traffic madness, The Allotment's interior was - thankfully - a haven of calm and warmth.
And, er, a certain degree of worrying emptiness. Yikes. A glass of Chapel Down's Flint Dry was swiftly ordered - and brought to the table - as a nerve steadier.
Still, everything seemed broadly encouraging. Wonderful decor (tongue and groove panelling everywhere, high ceiling, groovy retro-nod lighting, suitably aged wooden flooring), decent tableware, friendly waiting staff. Menu? Well, ish:
It's not that there was anything wrong with it - it just wasn't the kind of menu to get me positively dribbling with excitement. Some might regard that as a good thing, not least of whom my dining companion.
I gave the aforementioned the task of choosing a starter for us to share. The result? 'Vegetable quesilladas.' Right. I won't be making that mistake again.
Or will I? Y'know, they were really rather good. I'm no expert on Mexican food, and I wouldn't mind betting these would have offended the authenticity hunters, but these prim little quesilladas ticked our boxes for kick-off. Beautifully light, gently crisped, filled with spicy (if unspecified) veggie goodness, and accompanied by a convincing guacamole. And, thankfully, not drowned with sour cream. Relief all round.
Onwards, to mains. For no particular reason, it's been a while since I've eaten sea bass, so that was precisely what grabbed my fancy here. With a buerre blanc? Oh go on, then.
Sea bass? Check. Buerre blanc? Check. Melty mash? Check. But, um, braised red cabbage? I don't know whether the chef was recovering from a big night out, or whether cabbage was all they had to work with that day, but I wasn't wowed by the prospect. Mildly alarmed would be rather nearer the mark.
But, dang it, The Allotment tricked to deceive again. It might not have been the most seamless match ever, but I ate it all, as did The Other Diner, so what does that tell you? Perhaps it says most about the cooking here - it's assured, light of touch, and all about the yum factor. The bass was superbly flavoursome, the buerre blanc spot on, and the mash was a winner for butter lovers everywhere. And that cabbage - whether as a mouthful on its own, or scooped up with the bass and everything else - was actually a pleasure to eat. That'll teach me.
By this time, I'm happy to report, the place was filling up. Some, like us, were late lunchers, but it seems that this is also the local 'go to' place for some serious indulgence of the carbohydrate kind. Generous cakes and tarts with rustic eye appeal occupy the deli-style counter by front door, so perhaps that's no surprise.
The pudding menu was equally big on comfort factor - apple crumble, double chocolate mousse, baked blueberry cheesecake, raspberry and almond tart, and meringue with poached plums.
The Other Diner opted for the plums:
And I decided on the tart:
If I use the word 'light' again, this time for the tart, you'll probably shoot me, won't you? But it was. And moist. And liberal with both ground almonds and raspberries. Most tarts like this tend to be a tad on the dry or claggy side, but not this one. Not a soggy bottom in sight, either. Pure tart joy. With a dollop of excellent vanilla-flecked ice cream on the side.
The Other Diner's meringue and plums were lapped up, although there was a minor whimper along the lines of more fruit required.
While we nursed our coffees, our bill arrived. £53 for a 2.5 course lunch, with wine and coffee. Not cheap, but not horrifically spenny, either, for food like this - tasty, well cooked and portioned, and served with care and plenty of charm. Whether The Allotment can keep going in a not especially prepossessing part of Dover through this particularly vicious recession remains to be seen. But, based on our visit, I'd certainly say it deserves to do so. So next time you're on your way through Dover, I suggest you do yourself and a little local resto a good turn, and stop a while at The Allotment.

Love the interior design and isn't it fun when you experience dishes that turn your expectations on their head?

It is a rather lovely looking wee place isn't it? I tend to enjoy these sorts of places, good cooking, straight forward dishes and local produce. The thing is I don't tend to travel to eat in them, perhaps a mistake because if the cooking is as good as you make out it sounds like it might be worth a trip.
I really like the sound of the sea bass, and it makes a change to see it with a sauce rather than pan fried and perched on top of the accompaniment of choice. And those plums, well they look magnificent.

Disability RightsCongresswoman Maloney believes that it is our duty as a society to ensure that the nearly 1 in 5 Americans living with a disability have the protections and resources necessary to be self-sufficient, contributing members of their communities. Throughout her career she has worked to secure those rights for Americans with disabilities, from cosponsoring the Achieving Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act of 2014 to backing Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security policies that would assist Americans with disabilities.
Veterans Affairs
As the daughter, spouse, and sister of veterans, Congresswoman Maloney honors the millions of veterans who live across the country and in New York for their service and sacrifice. Throughout her time in Congress, Congresswoman Maloney has fought to ensure that our returning heroes receive the care and services they deserve.
Women's Issues
Since coming to Congress, Congresswoman Maloney has worked tirelessly as an advocate and leader for women. She has placed a special emphasis on women's health needs, reproductive freedom, international family planning, and securing women's equality in the Constitution.
Seniors and Social SecuritySince her election to Congress, Representative Carolyn Maloney has worked to get senior citizens the care and resources they need and deserve.
TransportationCongresswoman Carolyn Maloney always works to improve the quality of life in her district and has focused on transportation issues that impact the lives of thousands of New Yorkers on a daily basis.
Working FamiliesIt can be difficult to juggle both work and family, which is why Congresswoman Maloney has worked in Congress to advance legislation that supports working families. She was a proud supporter of the Family and Medical Leave Act. Congresswoman Maloney also fully supports an increase in the federal minimum wage and has authored legislation that would expand workforce protections to support working families.
Protecting Animals
During her time in Congress, Congresswoman Maloney has consistently supported efforts to ensure the humane treatment of animals.
Financial ServicesFinancial Services is a key industry for the New York City economy and one of the biggest job creators in the region. As the senior New York Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, Congresswoman Maloney believes one of her chief tasks is to maintain the preeminence of New York City as the world's financial center. Since coming to Congress, she has advocated for modernization of financial services regulation, state-of-the-art consumer protection and vigilant oversight of the safety-and-soundness of the banking sector. She is committed to defending the health of our financial institutions so that they can lead our economic recovery.
Energy and EnvironmentThroughout her time in Congress, Congresswoman Maloney has been an advocate for national energy policies that increase energy independence, protect the environment, and use natural resources responsibly. Development of renewable energy and energy efficiency measures are critical to meeting these goals, as well as developing policies for clean water and sustainable energy.
As a former educator, Congresswoman Maloney understands the importance of a quality education. She is a strong advocate for college affordability, investing in K-12 schools, and providing early childhood education for all families. She also is a national leader in the fight to prevent sexual assault on college campuses.
Local Issues
Nothing is more important to Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney than the quality of life in her district. She is proud of the work she has done to improve infrastructure, preserve historic neighborhoods, fight for better zoning and create schools in her district.
LGBT RightsCongresswoman Maloney is a longtime and a strong supporter of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights. In Congress, she is a member of the LGBT Equality Caucus and a strong supporter of anti-discrimination legislation, including the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Student Non-Discrimination Act, the Equality Act, and other federal measures to expand and protect the rights of LGBT individuals. In 1986, she also introduced the first domestic partnership legislation in New York City history.
Congresswoman Maloney understands that the health of her constituents and all American citizens has to be prioritized for the country to grow and thrive.
Foreign AffairsThe world is truly a global community, and Congresswoman Maloney is proud that her district is home to a diverse population of thousands of people whose ancestries trace back to all parts of the world. The Congresswoman believes that America should continue to strengthen its relations with other nations politically, economically, culturally, and socially.
Gun SafetyGun violence continues to be a major problem plaguing communities across the country. The massacres at Virginia Tech University, Fort Hood, Texas, Tucson, Arizona, Aurora, Colorado, and Newtown, Connecticut serve as reminders that we need to fight for commonsense policies to make Americans safer.
As a member of Congress and the Ranking Member on the Joint Economic Committee, Congresswoman Maloney is committed to making sure the economy works for everyone. Congress must ensure that the middle class and working families share in economic growth.
Homeland SecurityNobody knows the importance of homeland security better than New Yorkers. Congresswoman Maloney is working to ensure New York is prepared for, and working to prevent, future terrorist attacks.
Overseas AmericansMillions of Americans, including military personnel and civilians, live and work across the world. Although they live overseas, many of these U.S. citizens continue to vote and pay taxes in the U.S. Whether or not they work for American businesses overseas, they help increase exports of American goods and services because they traditionally buy American goods, sell American goods, and create business opportunities for U.S. companies and workers.
It is important for any civil society to maintain an effective, responsive and well-managed legal system that protects people's rights and safety. Despite some progress, the U.S. still has much work to do to address systemic problems within our justice system.
Oversight and Government ReformSince coming to Congress in 1992, Carolyn Maloney has served on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, the main investigative committee in the U.S. House of Representatives. This committee has jurisdiction to investigate any federal program and any matter with federal policy implications. Congresswoman Maloney also sits on the Government Operations subcommittee and previously served on the National Security Subcommittee and as the ranking member of the Subcommittee on the Census.
Human Trafficking
Every year, thousands of men, women and children around the world are trafficked into the United States to be sold for commercial sex and labor. Human trafficking is the fastest growing and the third-largest criminal activity in the world. This exploitation of young women, men, and children is a tragic human rights offense.
Campaign Finance ReformThroughout her career Congresswoman Maloney has been a strong supporter of campaign finance reform. She believes those with money should not have greater influence over elections than the average American voter. That is why she is deeply concerned about the Supreme Court's rulings in Citizens United and McCutcheon, which rolled back important reforms that reigned in the influence of money in politics.
CensusAs the co-chair of the House Census Caucus and author of the Census IDEA Act, Congresswoman Maloney is leading the charge to ensure a fair and accurate 2020 Census. The importance of accurate data cannot be minimized. Decennial census data is used to ensure fair representation and the fair distribution of federal funds.
9/11 Health and CompensationThe September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center continue to have serious and lasting impacts on New York and its residents. From long-term health problems, to extensive job loss, to extreme difficulty making mortgage and rental payments or keeping a small business going, thousands of New Yorkers continue to deal first hand with the aftermath of the disaster. My top priority since 9/11 has been to strengthen the federal response in each area of the recovery and to ensure that adequate federal aid is provided to the city for each specific needs that emerged from the disaster.
ImmigrationAmerica's history is rooted in the strength of immigrants. New Yorkers have a special understanding of how America's melting pot can create a rich tapestry of ethnic, cultural and religious traditions that infuse vitality into the economic and social aspects of our communities. Throughout her time in Congress, Congresswoman Maloney has made immigration issues a priority, and she strongly believes that by protecting the rights of workers, securing the border, and modernizing our pathway to legal immigration, the hope that we can fix a broken system will become a reality. Congresswoman Maloney will continue to fight in Congress to provide a pathway to citizenship, keep families intact, create a level playing field, and improve the nation's economy.
Israel and Jewish Issues
Throughout her years in Congress Congresswoman Maloney has been a vocal proponent for a close relationship between the United States and Israel. Israel is a strong American ally and the only real democracy in the Middle East. Congresswoman Maloney has stood with her constituents to support Israel at rallies in her district, as well as on the floor of the House.
Protecting Consumers
Congresswoman Maloney has been an effective and tenacious champion for consumers. Her Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act has saved consumers $12 billion a year since it was signed into law in 2009.

Since I am not one for jewelry, I decided to get something that I thought Randi might like more than a little bling for the "push present" (which in this case is more like a slice and dice present). I got her a weekend away from all children in Chicago to see Dave Matthews Band at Wrigley Field.
Not to sound too selfish, but I love this town and I love Wrigley. There is also another bonus for the concert being on September 18th. We will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary (9/20) in the Windy City. It should be fun.

While the residents disappeared eons ago, their stone houses have endured the ravages of the sea and time only to be exhumed 5,000 years later. Skara Brae is a stone-built ten-home cluster forming a Neolithic settlement located on the west coast of Mainland, Orkney, Scotland. It was occupied from roughly 3180 BCE–2500 BCE. At 5,000 years old, Skara Brae is the best preserved prehistoric village in Northern Europe. The site was continuously occupied for approximately 600 years (about 3100-2500 BCE), providing unique evidence of the daily life in the Orkneys in the late Neolithic era. Skara Brae is semi-subterranean, with village houses linked by a series of low passageways. It was settled within an old refuse heap - a kitchen midden usually associated with a semi-sedentary Mesolithic lifestyle – probably due to the insulative value of the refuse that may have been accumulating for a thousand years. Most of the household furniture as well as the houses were made of stone rather than wood, probably because of the lack of trees in the Orkney Islands and the availability of local stone. Much of the material has survived in the form of hearths, dressers, tables, and even stone beds. The later phase of the village (which can be seen today), consists of six to seven houses, and what may have been a workshop. It is possible that the settlement was originally larger, and that other houses may have been eroded by the sea. (Scroll to bottom for additional resources)
The neolithic settlement of Skara Brae lies near the dramatic white beach of the Bay of Skaill. Skara Brae is the best preserved groups of prehistoric houses in Western Europe. Skara Brae was discovered in 1850 when a severe storm washed away part of a protective sand dune, uncovering ruins of an ancient community. It was first properly excavated in 1920 by the archaeologist Gordon Vere Childe to present an effective picture of life around 5,000 years ago. Not only are the walls of the structures still standing, and alleyways roofed with their original stone slabs, but the interior fittings of each house give an unparalleled glimpse of life as it was in Neolithic Orkney. A replica construction allows visitors to fully understand the interior of a prehistoric house, inhabited for around 600 years, between 3200BC and 2200BC.
Skara Brae was inhabited before the Egyptian pyramids were built, and flourished for centuries before construction began at Stonehenge. It is around 5,000 years old and its semi-subterranean homes and their furniture survive in impressive condition. The site was given official recognition in 1999 when it was inscribed upon the World Heritage List as part of the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site.
The people of Skara Brae were a largely self-sufficient community who fished, kept cattle and pigs, and grew crops on a small scale, mainly barley and some wheat. They used some stone tools, but flint suitable for the manufacture of efficient stone tools is scarce in the Orkneys, so most of their tools were made from bone or wood. It is not known why the village was eventually abandoned. Three similar sites exist in the Orkneys.
Modern photographs of Skara Brae show a village dramatically situated on the shore. This impression is, however, misleading, and scientists believe that a rise in sea level since the Neolithic period in Orkney brought the ocean closer to the village. Sea level change may have reduced the amount of good quality farmland in the area, or in covering fields with slowly advancing sand dunes.
The Houses
All the houses are well-built of closely-fitting flat stone slabs. They were set into large mounds of midden (household refuse) and linked by covered passages. Each house comprised a single room with a floor space of roughly 40sq m. that includes a large square room with a central fireplace, a bed on either side and a shelved dresser on the wall opposite the doorway. The 'fitted' stone furniture within each room comprised a dresser, where prized objects were probably stored and displayed, two box-beds, a hearth centrally placed and small tanks set into the floor, perhaps for preparing fish bait.
The Artifacts
A rich array of artifacts and ecofacts includes gaming dice, hand tools, pottery and jewelry (necklaces, beads, pendants and pins). Most remarkable are the richly carved stone objects, perhaps used in religious rituals. The villagers were farmers, hunters and fishermen, capable of producing items of beauty and sophistication with rudimentary technology. No weapons have been found and the settlement was not in a readily defended location, suggesting a peaceful life.
The End of Village Life
Village life appears to have ended around 2,500 BC. No one knows why. Some argue that it was because a huge sandstorm engulfed their houses, others that it was more gradual. As village life came to an end, new monuments were beginning to rise up on mainland Orkney, including the chambered tomb at Maes Howe and the impressive stone circles at the Ring of Brodgar and Stenness.
In its lifetime, Skara Brae became embedded in its own rubbish and this, together with the encroaching sand dunes, meant the village was gradually abandoned. Thereafter, the settlement was gradually covered by a drifting wall of sand that hid it from sight for more than 40 centuries.
The houses of Skara Brae would seem to bear out the words of Thomas Jefferson regarding stone architecture: "The inhabitants of Europe, who dwell chiefly in houses of stone or brick, are surely as healthy as those of Virginia. These houses have the advantage too of being warmer in winter and cooler in summer than those of wood; of being cheaper in their first construction, where line convenient, and infinitely more durable. . . A country whose buildings are of wood, can never increase in its improvements to any considerable degree. There duration is highly estimated at 50 years. Every half century then our country becomes a tabula rasa, whereon we have to set out anew, as in the first moment of seating it. Whereas when buildings are of durable materials, every new edifice is an actual and permanent acquisition to the state, adding to its value as well as to its ornament."

Digital Agenda: Telecoms services improving, but regulatory divergences should be addressed to support further innovation.
High speed internet is a lifeline for economic recovery which provides new opportunities to enjoy and create web content, to innovate or to buy, sell and carry out business online The telecoms sector has a key role to play in the race towards a digital EU society, where growth and jobs can be delivered by better and faster on-line activities. The report on the progress of the sector released today as part of the Digital Agenda Scoreboard (see IP/12/614) shows how citizens are enjoying greater choice of services and better prices, as a result of competitive developments. It also shows that operators are faced with new realities as users' appetite for data, in particular mobile data, keeps growing. The report also identifies a number of areas where more co-ordinated implementation of the telecoms rules is required to support the roll-out of high speed internet.
The report issued today outlines a number of key trends and achievements:
The report also points to area where targeted measures are needed to make the most out of the EU regulatory framework:

Since being fired in 2011 from the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark," director Julie Taymor has kept a relatively low public profile, her time presumably occupied by the ongoing lawsuit between her and the show's producers.
Taymor might be considered damaged goods when it comes to Broadway, but her trademark innovative style still has its fans. In her first directing gig since the "Spider-Man" debacle, Taymor will return to her roots by staging a new production of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" at Theatre for a New Audience in Brooklyn.
The production is scheduled to open Nov. 2 and will be the inaugural production of the company's new permanent home near Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood. Taymor will once again team up with her longtime partner, the Oscar-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal, who will write the music for the comedy.
Taymor previously worked with Theatre for a New Audience in 1986 on a production of Shakespeare's "The Tempest." She subsequently directed two more Shakespearean plays for the New York company -- "The Taming of the Shrew" and "Titus Andronicus."
The director has also made film versions of "The Tempest" and "Titus."
"Midsummer" is set to begin preview performances on Oct. 19.
Taymor reached a tentative settlement in her legal battle with the producers of "Spider-Man" in August. But it has been reported as recently as this month that no final deal has been reached yet.

Bronx River Parkway
Hundreds Of New Yorkers Navigate The Waters At The 9th Annual Amazing Bronx River FlotillaFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Saturday, May 10, 2008
No. 50
Five-Mile Canoe Procession Kicks Off Paddling Season, Celebrates Revitalization of Bronx River
Commissioner Adrian Benepe today joined New York State Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Pete Grannis, Council Member Oliver Koppell, Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz, Chairman of the Bronx River Alliance Joan Byron, Bronx River Administrator/Executive Director of the Bronx River Alliance Linda Cox, and over 200 paddlers to navigate five miles down the New York City portion of the Bronx River in the 9th Annual Amazing Bronx River Flotilla. The flotilla symbolized the official start to paddling season along the Bronx River and celebrated the ongoing renewal of the river's ecological health.
"The Bronx River Flotilla encourages New Yorkers to get out on the water and celebrate the revitalization of the Bronx River, one of the City's greatest natural resources," said Commissioner Benepe. "After decades of neglect, the river is now well on its way back to ecological health, thanks to the joint stewardship of the Parks Department, the Bronx River Alliance and partner community groups whose conservation efforts have made the river not only clean enough for us to paddle today, but also cleaner for plants and animals, like José the Beaver, who call the river home. The progress we've made and continue to make cleaning up the Bronx River demonstrates Mayor Bloomberg's commitment to open up the great waterways for recreational use and create a cleaner, greener New York City."
With $70 million in park and greenway construction and natural area restoration in progress, the Bronx River will soon be a major recreational and ecological resource for city residents.
A flotilla of nearly 70 canoes and kayaks navigated by local residents as well as elected officials launched this morning on the Bronx River from Shoelace Park at 219th Street in Olinville, floated past the newly renovated $1.4 million River Park and Concrete Plant Park which is under $10 million in renovation, and finished three hours later down river at Hunt's Point Riverside Park, where an afternoon picnic celebration was underway and enthusiastic crowds greeted the paddlers.
We're thrilled to present the 9th Annual Amazing Bronx River Festival," said Executive Director of the Bronx River Alliance and Bronx River Administrator Linda Cox. "Paddling down the river on a spring day is a fantastic way to celebrate the progress we've made in cleaning up the river and developing the Bronx River Greenway."
In an effort to "green" the river and its surrounding areas, Parks is in the midst of creating the Bronx River Greenway, an eight-mile long bike and pedestrian pathway that will increase public access to the river and provide enhanced waterfront recreational opportunities in the Bronx. The Bronx River Alliance stewards the river and was awarded a 2007 Bank of America Neighborhood Builder Award for their efforts and accomplishments in the river's restoration.
The Bronx River is believed to be a pre-glacial stream whose course has been reshaped and modified over time. Historically, the river has suffered from flooding, erosion, and habitat loss. Since the 1990's the river has been restored back to ecological health and today, the Bronx River Corridor is home to more than 250 thriving species of native flora such as pin oak, river birch, and white snakeroot, and native fauna, including the mallard, muskrat, and beaver. The Bronx River is also a popular paddling site. Parks and the Bronx River Alliance offer free, seasonal canoe programs open to the public.

Wolves confirm Saunders appointment
Wolves have confirmed Dean Saunders as their new manager after agreeing compensation with Doncaster.
The npower Championship club have moved quickly to replace Stale Solbakken after the Norwegian's ill-fated reign came to an end with a 1-0 defeat to non-league Luton in the FA Cup on Saturday.
Saunders began his management career with Wrexham in the Blue Square Bet Premier before taking over at Doncaster.
A statement on Wolves' official website read: "Wolves are delighted to confirm that Dean Saunders is to become the club's new manager.
"Compensation has been agreed with Doncaster Rovers to allow the 48-year-old to take over at Molineux following Saturday's departure of Stale Solbakken."
The Welshman leaves Rovers, joint-top of League One, to join a club 18th in the Championship, six points above the bottom four.
Solbakken managed just nine wins from 26 league games and the final straw came at Kenilworth Road as Wolves lost to a side 60 places below them.
Saunders left Wrexham after three years in charge at the Racecourse Ground, having guided them to the play-offs in 2010/11.
When he departed, the Red Dragons were top of the table.
Despite relegation in his first season in charge at Doncaster, a colourful campaign which saw Rovers take a number of high-profile players on loan from agent Willie McKay`s stable, Saunders has spearheaded a revival at the Keepmoat Stadium, with Rovers having taken 50 points from their 26 games.

Obamacare has blown up so dramatically that al-Qaida might try to take credit for it. It's so bad that President Obama's political team has floated the idea of re-naming it "Bidencare."
Obama knowingly lied to the American people about Obamacare because he knew he could not sell it with the truth. "You can keep your doctor and your insurance if you like them" has been revealed as a premeditated lie. And an even bigger lie: Family health care premiums would go down by $2,500 a year.
What he didn't fib about, Obama sugarcoated. Given the nation's alarming levels of obesity, he knew Americans would swallow anything with sugar on it.
The truth is that you can keep your insurance – if Obama likes it. The one-size-fits-all insurance plans offered fit the government's needs, not the customer's. This is thinly disguised redistribution of wealth to the moochers who support Obama; in essence, it's health redistribution.
More people have lost their insurance coverage than have signed up for Obamacare. The only folks who can keep their current insurance are members of Congress and the administration, who exempted themselves.
The website debacle is a minor issue. They will get that fixed. Obama says he is mobilizing his nerds, and it will be fixed in weeks. You just know that government can fix things in mere weeks; keep in mind, we still have troops in Germany.
Obamacare is an illustration of how government couldn't even run a church bake sale. Six people signed up for Obamacare on the first day, "Enrollment Friday," which was followed by "Identity Theft Saturday."
This would have never happened under Bill Clinton. He would have immediately called on his technical expert buddies who run Internet porn sites to learn how they handle all that traffic volume.
Obama says he would have taken care of this website issue, had he only known about it. Our president has been too busy not knowing about Benghazi, IRS auditing of his enemies, "Operation Fast and Furious," the wiretapping of Fox and AP reporters, NSA spying on Americans, and how many Americans have successfully signed up for Obamacare. Not knowing so much consumes a lot of his time these days.
Making matters worse, it takes time to defend what you didn't know and explaining when you didn't know it.
The best way to show why a bureaucracy does not work is to let people witness one. These are people who see a banana peel 20 yards ahead of them and say, "Oh darn, here we go again."
Throw in an underlying political agenda, and it gets even worse. The heathcare.gov website does ask you to register to vote. Guess who 95 percent of the moocher class will vote for? And we are paying for this "voter registration."
Forcing everyone to buy the insurance the Democrats deem necessary reveals their arrogance; they know what is good for us better than we do. There are gentler forms of persuasion than 20,000 IRS agents making people buy something. It is called the free market. And the cool thing about the free market is that it is "free," and was working just fine.
We should have learned all this by studying history. Authoritarian solutions in the form of forced compliance never work. The blunt instrument of government force is the very basis of Obamacare.
Admittedly, health insurance could have been better. We have never had a truly free-market medical insurance system. It was a quasi-monopoly in each state, through licensing, insurance regulations and charters, existing under the thumbs of state politicians. They did not want to give up that campaign-donation honey hole or their power over an industry they can shake down for money.
The 51 percent of Americans who are conditioned to think the productive other 49 percent should take care of them don't have the intelligence to understand the direction this sends the country. The details are not as interesting as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's latest engagement, so they don't pay attention. It's not, so they don't.
That 51 percent want what they were promised by Obama, and they want it now. Their thinking goes something like, "Who cares about future generations? What have they ever done for us?"
Now, with Obamacare, the feds, via the IRS, will control twice as much of a family's income. But don't worry. If you like your current paycheck, Obama promises you can keep it – for now.

Diagram 1
Diagram 2
This is the most popular opening move in the corner as it guarantees a safe position and attempts to take the corner by playing a move A, B or C. White does not have to answer this immediately but may play in another corner. When he does reply it is usually at A or B. In this issue we shall only deal with the most popular attack on the reply at A, this is at D (a 2 point high pincer). The object is to prevent white making a profitable extension in this direction, and to build up a potential along the left side. There are three main replies at E, F and G.
Diagram 3
This attempts to make a stable group along the lower side, to slide into the corner at H and to pincer one of the two black stones.
Diagram 4
Diagram 5
(1) In Dia 4, 4 takes the side territory whilst giving up most of the corner. White 5 takes the corner, black 6 or 6' at J depending upon the situation in the north-west sector. White now has a fairly small stable group and has destroyed the corner, however black has taken a large position along the side which still has weak points where it may be invaded. Also there are plays at L and K for black and white respectively.
Or Dia 5 which is rather conservative for White as it leaves the black position less easily invadable, and only a small play at L later.
Diagram 6
(2) Dia 6 - Black can play at 6 or M. Though this leaves the black position even more invadeable, it may be applicable in some cases. White must not now play the sequence equivalent to Dia 5 as this fortifies black too much.
Diagram 7
(3) In Dia 7, black 4 takes the corner securely. The 5, 6 exchange reduces the corner and stabilises the white group more. Then by 10, White has completely stabilised his group and can prepare an attack on black 2 by playing a pincer move at N or O for example.
Diagram 8
Diagram 9
(4) Black 4 in Dia 8 leads to rather more complex variations than the other moves so far. Here are two variations:
Dia 8. Black 8 gets sente. Black 16 or 16' at M. By white 19 Black
gives up the corner in a large way whilst gaining compensation along the
["Why does black 8 'get sente'?" is answered "Because White must now answer 14 in the corner giving Black the time to extend his wall to 16".]
Dia 9. The second variation.
Black 10' at 11 with white 11' cutting at 10 leads to many complex variations.
Diagram 10
White stops black gaining a large area, stabilises his stones quickly and plans to turn to another sector of the board.
Diagram 11
(1) Black 4 gets territory and white need not play again.
Later Black has 6..9 protecting the corner...
Diagram 12
Diagram 13
... or White has Dia 12 or Dia 13 stopping Black taking the corner.
Diagram 14
(2) Black 4 in Dia 14 separates the white stones, then 5 to 13 dividing the area on either side, leaving a white play at H or a black play at P for later.
Diagram 15
Or if Black does not like white capturing 2 because of the situation on the rest of the lower side he can play Dia 15. White plays 13 to be sacrificed while capturing the two central black stones. Again leaving H and P for later.
Diagram 16
Diagram 17
Dia 17 gets a stable group at once but solidifies black. Black 4
stops white taking all the corner and White replies with 5.
BGJ had black 4 impossibly at 3.
Diagram 18
(1) Dia 18 continues from Dia 17 - black 8 captures white
, black 10 at
White has to play 7 as here, he cannot save his stone otherwise Black plays 8' at 7 gaining a large advantage. After 11 White has taken influence along the side in exchange for giving up the corner.
Not from BGJ, but Ishida's joseki dictionary continues with Black X, White Y, Black Z.
Diagram 19
(2) Dia 19 also continues from Dia 17.
Black may play 8' at Q depending upon the situation in the north-west sector. If he plays 8, he can extend to J or R.
If White does not like this variation he may play 3' at 5. This can be followed by 4' at 6 and 5' at 3 which reverts to Dia 19, or as Dia 20.
Diagram 20
7 here ensures that no cuts work and leaves plays at S and N.
These are just a few of the even variations or joseki from the play of the two space high pincer which may be seen in the game on page 5.
