National Food Roundup: Goat Cheese, From Prison
From Nationwide Newspaper Food Sections 7.15.09
That fancy goat cheese you're eating? It may have started its journey to your plate from a prison in Colorado. Also in this week's roundup, fresh herbs at the center of Vietnamese cooking and the pleasures of eating alone.
- The Denver Post traces the fascinating journey of cheese produced by Haystack Mountain Goat Dairy in Longmont, Colo., and it begins in the most unlikely of places – a prison.
- The Miami Herald extols the pleasures of eating alone with recipes like Pasta with Spicy Cauliflower and Walnuts, and Exotic Rice Pudding on Demand.
- The Oregonian says canned beans can be the perfect base for bright summer flavors. Recipes include Cannellini beans with Tuna and Black-Olive Vinaigrette, and Warm Chickpea and Shrimp Salad.
- The San Francisco Chronicle offers tips for making a memorable and perfectly balanced salad with grilled meats or vegetables. For instance, tread lightly with the dressing. The Grilled Eggplant Salad with Roasted Tomato-Almond Vinaigrette sounds pretty perfect to us.
- The Washington Post considers the next steps for Michelle Obama's food policy initiative, and they don't involve celebrity chefs.
- The Los Angeles Times takes an in-depth look at the fresh herbs at the center of the Vietnamese plate, such as red perilla, garlic chives and rice patty herb. Recipes include Salmon with Tomato, Dill and Garlic Soup (Canh Rieu Ca).

-loved- your photos in this weeks newsletter. thanks for sharing and for inspiring me to look right around the corner in my own town.
I think the books about eating alone are interesting. I don't generally like eating alone, but I'm learning to appreciate the quiet moment to just enjoy my food at the end of the day. Cooking for an army is a tough habit to break though, so it's a good thing I don't mind leftovers. I may need to pick up one or both of those books.
I love Haystack cheeses-- I had no idea they started out in prison! Wow!
What a cute goat!

Moonfur is a cat in GlacierClan, one of the four clans in the forest. Her normal life is turned upside down when she is made an apprentice.

Will life return to normal or will the clans be wiped out when it seems as if all odds are against them?

Building confidence in infrastructure
Why is UK growth so slow?
Reform roundtable seminar on "why is UK growth so slow?" on Monday 2 July2012. Introduced by Richard Jeffrey, Chief Investment Officer, Cazenove Capital Management.
By Lauren Thorpe
Earlier this week Richard Jeffrey, Chief Investment Officer at Cazenove Capital Management, introduced the first of three austerity debates hosted by Reform. This debate was on the topic of "why is UK growth so slow" and was held under the Chatham House Rule.
The answer to the question was straightforward but politically tough – over recent "boom years" the economy had accumulated debt at a rate faster than could be matched by income growth. The wealth that was being consumed had not yet been earned, and after the party the UK found itself burdened with onerous amounts of public and private debt. This increase in debt reflects failures in fiscal and monetary policy. Interest rates were too low for too long and spending increased too quickly.
Looking forward as well as back the messages are just as hard. The UK needs to reduce its historically high levels of debt. Domestic demand needs to grow at a lower rate than GDP and fiscal policy must rebalance. Importantly, expectations for growth will need to be more realistic. The economy will be doing well to have a real rate of growth of two per cent, prolonging a recessionary feel. In short, austerity will be the new normal.
So what does this imply for government policy? A key implication is that the task of delivering growth is not just for the Government. Indeed, the best thing the Government could do for growth is to create the conditions for the private sector to expand. This should come from supply side reform. Efforts to prop up demand would either be too small to have a material impact or would need to be so large as to damage overall fiscal credibility. Curbing the overreach of the Government will also help reduce the degree to which it crowds out private activity (evidence of this crowding out can be seen through lower capital investment).
There are a number of supply side reforms that the Government could look to. The four main pillars that affect investment and growth in the private sector are: access to skills, the tax environment, regulatory burdens, and the quality of infrastructure. On skills, standards in schools must be raised so that employers do not have their productivity stifled. On tax the emphasis must be on creating an environment that is stable and consistent. Rather than increasing regulatory burdens, the Government should try to reduce them, particularly for small businesses. And finally, it is necessary to find a way to encourage private sector investment in infrastructure projects in the UK.
The picture for growth in the UK has changed. The UK is likely to experience shorter economic cycles where inflation plays an important role in shaping the real rate of growth. The next few years will require a prolonged and severe period of deleveraging. In simple terms, people need to spend less than they are earning. This may sound straightforward but following a decade of overspending, it will feel tough.

PLAYERS: Donovan McNabb, Dan Marino
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons
TEAMS: Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings, Washington Redskins, Atlanta Falcons
After 11 seasons with the Eagles the team traded McNabb before the 2010 season. Since then the Eagles have only made the playoffs once (Credit: AP Photo) Prior to the 2010 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins. Despite reaching the playoffs in eight of the eleven seasons he was starting in Philadelphia, the Eagles gave up on McNabb and traded him. Originally, it seemed as though fans in Philadelphia were happy to see McNabb leave town. Since then, the Eagles have missed the playoffs in two out of their three McNabb-less years. Now, McNabb believes the fans in Philadelphia are probably missing him as their starter. "Making it to the NFC Championship is not easy, and I think they're starting to see that right now, that getting to the playoffs and going to the NFC Championship consistently, it's just not that easy," McNabb said on Comcast Sportsnet Philadelphia. "There are teams right now who have winning records, like the Atlanta Falcons, they've done it for so many years, and they get to the playoffs and all of a sudden they're one-and-done." McNabb says it's foolish to judge a quarterback harshly just because he never won a Super Bowl. "Myself, Dan Marino, there are a lot of quarterbacks who have gotten to that point and just haven't been able to bring it home," he said. "People want to make it look like you have nothing to show for it. Well we have a lot to show for it." Judging McNabb on never winning a championship is not smart. It seems as though all of the problems the Eagles have had over the last two years would not have happened if McNabb was starting. Of course, the defense would not be improved under McNabb but the offense would certainly be improved. The Eagles are currently 27th in points per game and have a -23 turnover ratio. If McNabb was there, the Eagles would be in a better position than they are right now. Maybe it is time for the fans of the Eagles to forgive McNabb and realize how great he made their team. The post McNabb: Philly is finding out that getting to the playoffs isn't easy appeared first on DOWN & DISTANCE.

Wells Fargo is very proud that former team members were part of the (again-) famous Tuskegee Airmen. We have blogged about this several times.
With the release of Red Tails a couple weeks ago, I told of our search within the Company for other team members with ties to these fliers, and shared a couple. We have long known of Lieutenant Colonel James A. Walker who, like George Roberts, joined Wells Fargo when his military career ended.
James Walker was a Personal Banking Officer in Hayward, Calif., from 1965-1979. We corresponded with Walker himself several years ago—with Red Tails invigorating interest in the Tuskegee Airmen and their families, we wanted to connect with Walker's family, both to get their recollections and to get their permission to share images and stories.
We recently did communicate with these wonderful people, and they have a wealth of memories about Walker and his service to Wells Fargo, and to our country!
"We had to fight in order to fight."
James Walker was born in Manning, S.C., in 1918. He first took flight training at Hampton Institute and graduated in 1941. He trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field, one of 19 who graduated in the class of 1943, and finished second in his class.
Before Tuskegee, the Army had been very reluctant to train African Americans as pilots. Racial discrimination in America at that time was rigid, despite the abilities of people like Walker. "We had to fight in order to fight," Walker said in a 1994 interview.
Walker was assigned to the 332nd Fighter Group, whose major action was escorting bombers. Walker flew 80 missions; then, in July 1944, he was escorting a crippled B-24 bomber over Yugoslavia, when he was forced to bail out of his flak-damaged P-51 Mustang. He was met in a field by pistol-waving teenager.
Luckily, the youth was one of the good guys—partisans who helped him and other downed Allied fliers evade capture. Walker returned to duty after 39 days.
During the war, Walker flew 102 missions in all. He returned to Tuskegee as a flight instructor in 1948. He retired from the US Air Force as a Lt. Col. in 1964.
Military teamwork served Walker well when he joined Wells Fargo. He completed a bank management training program and became a loan officer in Hayward. When Wells Fargo began a Personal Banker program, Walker was in the first class to complete it, and the only African American in that first program. He continued with Wells Fargo in Hayward until he retired in 1979.
Walker was an active volunteer in retirement, including being named Hayward's Senior Volunteer of the Year. He was active in the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of Tuskegee Airmen Inc., the organization of persons who had trained in that program and served their country. In February 2003, he was honored at an event at Wells Fargo Headquarters in San Francisco.
Lt. Col. James A. Walker passed away in 2004.
In 1994, Walker attended a convention of Tuskegee Airmen in Chicago. By chance, he met Aleksandr Zivkovic, who had immigrated to America in 1971. Zivkovic, as a teenager, had been a Yugoslav partisan fighting against the Nazis—and helping downed fliers escape and get back to duty.
Walker and Zivkovic had met 50 years earlier, in that field in Yugoslavia.

The actress's father, Michael Lohan, agrees to a paternity test and a nationally televised reveal of the results.
Lindsay Lohan has been dealt a shock after a televised paternity test 'proved' long-running rumors her dad Michael has another daughter.
Kristi Horn has spent four years trying to convince Michael Lohan he is the father of her 17-year-old daughter Ashley, and he agreed to settle the matter by taking a DNA test on daytime TV's The Trisha Goddard Show. In the big reveal, which will air Thursday, Michael comes face-to-face with his alleged lovechild for the first time as Goddard reads out the positive result, prompting Kristi to break down in tears.
Michael, who had previously denied the allegation, stands up to hug the teenager but she tries to resist, saying, "This is the first time I've met you. I'm sorry, but I'm not sure..." He replies, "It's OK. Everything in time, honey." Born-again Christian Michael has four children with Dina Lohan, including Mean Girls star Lindsay, and is reportedly expecting another with girlfriend Kate Major.

PHILADELPHIA (UPI) — Environmental damage to coastal Louisiana following the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill was less than expected thanks to the Mississippi River, researchers say.
Geoscientists say a study reveals the force of the Mississippi River emptying into the Gulf of Mexico created mounds of freshwater that pushed back against much of the oil slick from the leaking Deepwater Horizon drilling rig offshore.
"The idea is that, if the water surface is tilting a little bit, then maybe the oil will move downhill, sort of like a ball on a plate. If you tilt the plate, the ball will roll one way and then another," University of Pennsylvania researcher Douglas Jerolmack said.
"Surprisingly no one had really investigated the effect that the tilting of the water surface can have on the migration of oil," he said in a university release Thursday.
While many wetland habitats and wildlife were oiled during the three-month leak, a great part of the spreading slick never made it to the coast, the researchers said.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration used information from satellite data to issue daily forecasts of where the oil slick might travel, using computer models based on ocean currents.
"We noticed that there was a big disconnect between the forecasts of where the oil was going to be the next day and where the oil actually was the next day," Jerolmack said.
The researchers analyzed see level data from the period and confirmed the existence of several mounds and troughs in the Gulf.
"We recognized that there was a very persistent mound, a bump or a bulge, in the elevation of the sea surface in the vicinity of the Mississippi Delta," Jerolmack said, noting the oil spill coincided with the typical spring flood on the Mississippi that pushed a larger-than-normal flow of water into the Delta.
A mathematical model confirmed the slope of the mound was sufficient to direct the oil's movement, he said.

If you have NEVER been to Africa, when someone mentions "Africa" or you hear "Africa", what is the FIRST thing that comes into your mind?
People associate different regions/continent based on media, informational material, myths, stereotypes and such. The main idea of this discussion is to find out what people who never had "first hand experience" think about the continent. Thanks for your contribution.

All but my life (1957)
by Gerda W. Klein
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Such a good book- everyone should read it.
I first heard about this book from my daughter who is a school teacher in Chicago. Apparently the documentary of this book had been sent to many of the school in the city. The impact is always so much greater when one is reading the words of another's life, so much more personal. I love that this starts out with her happy family, her brothers, her neighbors, her friends, such a simple life full of hope. Than they are confronted with the Nazi invasion and things began to change for them very quickly, yet they still held on to little things that provided them with hope. A letter from a family member, deportations that had been postponed, a brother who has manged to escape, a neighbor who brings them food, all of these provide hope. A young childhood quickly changed, I remember one passage that really brought this home for me. Gerda is walking past the pool where in previous summers she had gone to with her friends. Now she is walking past the pool, with a Jewish armband, and while there is still laughing coming from the pool, she is no longer able to go in. Wonderfully poignant book, in the afterward she explains what has happened to her life after the war and why she has felt compelled to write this, her memoir. Wonderful book from a wonderfully strong woman.
Gerda Weissman Klein's memoir of her life during World War II is harrowing to say the least. Separated from her loved ones, surrounded by fear and tragedy, Gerda's life is turned upside down overnight and she faces years of anguish, pain and grief. Despite it all she retains an immense sense of what is right and fair, often putting the needs of others above her own and often putting her own life at risk in order to stand up for her principles.
Although the details given in Gerda's account do not feel watered down by any means, you can't help but think that even though her recollections are horrific, there's much more that she has chosen not to share and can only be stunned by her bravery and determination. She loses everything – all but her life and her spirit.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the story is the advice Gerda is given by her father to wear her winter walking boots one day: advice that will prove to be lifesaving. If it had been a novel, it would have seemed like one of those quaint coincidences that ties a book together but knowing that this is an autobiographical tale actually makes this incredibly poignant. Even though I finished the book a couple of weeks ago, every time I think about it I remember those boots and how her father's last piece of advice would be, literally, life-saving.
It is impossible for me to give All But My Life anything other than five stars. This is a beautifully related memoir: despite the overwhelming sense of tragedy and pain, Gerda's will to survive and determination to keep not only herself going but others as well is utterly heart-wrenching. Although I have never been a huge fan of autobiographies, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this. It is a story that must be told and it is a time that we must never, ever forget.

All But My Life is the unforgettable story of Gerda Weissmann Klein's six-year ordeal as a victim of Nazi cruelty. From her comfortable home in Bielitz (present-day Bielsko) in Poland to her miraculous survival and her liberation by American troops--including the man who was to become her husband--in Volary, Czechoslovakia, in 1945, Gerda takes the reader on a terrifying journey.
Gerda's serene and idyllic childhood is shattered when Nazis march into Poland on September 3, 1939. Although the Weissmanns were permitted to live for a while in the basement of their home, they were eventually separated and sent to German labor camps. Over the next few years Gerda experienced the slow, inexorable stripping away of "all but her life." By the end of the war she had lost her parents, brother, home, possessions, and community; even the dear friends she made in the labor camps, with whom she had shared so many hardships, were dead.
Despite her horrifying experiences, Klein conveys great strength of spirit and faith in humanity. In the darkness of the camps, Gerda and her young friends manage to create a community of friendship and love. Although stripped of the essence of life, they were able to survive the barbarity of their captors. Gerda's beautifully written story gives an invaluable message to everyone. It introduces them to last century's terrible history of devastation and prejudice, yet offers them hope that the effects of hatred can be overcome.

ARU backing Deans to deliver
ESPN Staff
December 11, 2012
Robbie has the support of the ARU © PA Photos
Australia head coach Robbie Deans has received the full backing of the Australian Rugby Union despite some vocal discontent with the New Zealander's performance among the media and the fans.
Deans is heading into the final year of his contract with the ARU and has come under pressure this season for the Wallabies' inconsistent displays on the pitch, which has included a 33-6 thumping by France this autumn and a 9-6 defeat to Scotland in June.
However ARU chairman Michael Hawker insists the former All Black retains their confidence ahead of a crucial 2013 season, which includes the visit of the British & Irish Lions for their three-Test tour.
''From the Australian Rugby Union, we're happy with where the Australian team is, Hawker said. ''We'd like to have less injuries and I think if we didn't have as many injuries, we would've been right at the top. Next year is a huge year with the Lions making a once-in-12-year journey down here.
"Having just come from the northern hemisphere, people are hugely excited over there to be here. It always creates a huge wave of anticipation seeing the best of the northern hemisphere come here. We're pretty keen to try and thump them. They're going to be a very competitive side and we're going to be a very competitive side and I think it's going to generate plenty of interest.
''I think the coaches think of every year as make or break … I don't think Robbie takes anything for granted. For us, I think everyone in the Australian public are keen to win all the games and so is Robbie. He'll do all he can. In the board's view, we have every chance in defeating the Lions next year.''
Australia have lost five of their 15 matches this term, averaging just a try a game, and dropped to third in the International Rugby Board rankings behind South Africa. However they finished a largely disappointing and tumultuous season - during which Quade Cooper slammed the "toxic" environment in the Wallaby camp - with narrow victories over Italy, England and Wales.
And Hawker is optimistic there is a lot more to come from Deans' Wallabies, especially when they get the likes of David Pocock, Will Genia, Quade Cooper and James O'Connor back from injury.
''You've got to put the Wallabies' performance in context with how many injuries we've had,'' Hawker said. ''We've had 55 people play for the Wallabies this year which is a pretty poor number of players, so we've had an unusual level of injury rate.
''That's something we're looking at as to why that occurred and how we might be able to do about that. We can actually improve the better player management process between the ARU and the Super Rugby franchises to make sure the player welfare is managed right collectively across those two levels of the game.
''When you've got a team that has playmakers such as [Will] Genia, [James] O'Connor, [Quade] Cooper, [David] Pocock and [Kurtley] Beale, who didn't play the whole year … If you took [Dan] Carter and Richie McCaw out of the New Zealand team, you'd have a different proposition. We had five major playmakers out of our game and we had a pretty good record.''

Shelly FreyThere is a time and a place for excessive force, when a police officer is justified in drawing a weapon and killing an individual who is a clear threat. Shelly Frey was not one of them. The mother of two was fatally shot in the parking lot of a Houston Walmart on Thursday by an off-duty deputy who worked the security detail as a side gig. Suspecting Frey of shoplifting, he confronted her and her two accomplices, Tiasa Andrews and Yolanda Craig, and chased the trio into the parking lot. Things got ugly and Frey is now dead.
Louis Campbell is a 26-year veteran of the force. Houston is not anybody's Mayberry, so I'm sure he's seen the worst that violence and debauchery has to offer. Nearly three decades of service has given him more than enough time to hone his judgment and intuition, which is probably why he sniffed the three women out in the first place. But shooting into Frey's car -- where two small children were riding in the backseat -- and hitting her in the neck was over the top. Walmart merchandise is hardly worth a life.
If he indeed felt threatened when he was standing in between the car door and the driver's seat, as he says he did, reacting at that point would've been one thing. But I question how he could've felt unsafe when she peeled out and was driving away. Even then, I agree with Frey's mother: putting a bullet in a tire to disable the car seems like a more appropriate action than flexing his shoot-to-kill training like she was a hardened criminal.
Her poor parents, disillusioned as parents often are, are devastated. Her father, Shelton Frey, told the local news, "Shelly was the perfect mom, perfect friend, perfect daughter." Clearly, she wasn't perfect. But she was a person, she was obviously loved, and she deserved the chance to live and rectify her mistakes rather than be killed in the process of making them. Campbell took that away, and her family -- and her two kids, including a two-year-old baby with sickle cell anemia -- are grieving the death of young woman who was only 27. She was doing wrong, but it wasn't worth her life.
When I was 15, I went through a phase when I was a shoplift-aholic. I started with makeup and progressed to stuffed animals, clothes, and CDs. It was an adrenaline rush -- albeit a crappy one -- and to top it all off, I was good at it. I never worked my five-finger discounting at Walmart, but I eventually got caught, got it together, and grew up to be a productive member of society. Thank God nobody saw fit to snuff me out in the process. I don't doubt Frey could've made the same kind of turnaround.
Guess we'll never know and I guess, in the grand tradition of snap judgments and trigger-happy justice, this killing will be justified and forgotten like the thousands that came before and will undoubtedly be the subject of news stories in the future. It's sad, and it's sad how vehemently she's being badmouthed in the wake of what this is -- a tragedy. She's not perfect, but clearly most of the rest of us are.
Do you think the officer did the right thing?
Image via Facebook
sugarmansmom, I know, right? But all is still probably right with the world. I think the reality is that people in general probably have more in common than we do differences. I happen to live in Houston (I know my screen name is Floridamom. I moved) and see often in the news the tragic way African Americans are treated by law enforcement here, particularly HPD (though in this case it's the sheriff's office). I think law enforcement in general is far too quick to take the life of another. I am all for the death penalty, but neither shoplifting nor running from an off duty police officer are capital offenses. I, as well, am rather shocked at the extremely callous responses evident here.
So let me guess...im suppose to feel sorry for some one who stole something?? Not feeling it!! Idiot wouldnt have been shot if she would not have stole something.....
Well, if the attempt was to run over someone could they not have gotten out of the way? Were they trying to block her escape? They shot into a car with kids in it? Seriously? People are defending this?
since when are security guards allowed to carry guns?

As U.S. and Israeli officials talk publicly about the prospect of a military strike against Iran's nuclear program, the Los Angeles Times reported that the latest U.S. intelligence report indicates Iran is pursuing research that could enable it to build a nuclear weapon, but that it has not sought to do so.
Until quite recently, an alarming new intelligence emerged from intercepted communications of Iranian officials discussing their nuclear program raised concerns that the country's leaders had decided to revive efforts to develop a weapon, the New York Times reports.
Earlier this month, Netanyahu and Obama agreed that the end goal must be to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and that there cannot be any containment of a nuclear Iran.
At the crucial White House meeting, Netanyahu made it clear Israel will go it alone if it decides military action is necessary.
Here are the seven reasons why Israel should preemptively attack Iran this year:
Iran as a de facto nuclear state
First, and foremost, a nuclear-armed capable Iran would drastically change the geopolitical landscape in the volatile Middle East immensely complicating the risks to Israel and the threat to U.S. national security. Why?
For better or worse, there is no doubt that the prospect of escalating tensions is heightened significantly in the cascade of nuclear proliferation to Iran's proxies, Hamas, Hizbullah, Venezuela and Arab Gulf states wanting to go nuclear.
In addition to its suspected nuclear-weapons program Iran owns vast stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, according to Iran Watch.
Israel and America are both far more concerned about Iran's stepped-up enrichment of high grade uranium in an underground bunker in Qom and Natanz, than the failure of the UN nuclear watchdog, in a setback likely to increase the risk of confrontation with the West.
"Israel must be wiped off the map"
Unless the consequences of inaction truly are existential, given the potentially disastrous outcome of the controversial remark by the Iranian president – a unilateral preemptive strike against Iran's nuclear program in Israel's self-defense would be fully justified.
Longstanding economic sanctions – that doesn't bite
Despite an increasingly stringent U.S. and European Union's economic sanctions, Israel faces a dilemma. In the report by the Israeli-based news DEBKAfile, India has reportedly agreed to pay Tehran in gold for the oil it buys, in a move aimed at protecting Delhi from U.S.-sanctions targeting countries who trade with Iran.
Adding insult to the injury, the U.S. government recently said Iran has purchased 180,000 tons of U.S. wheat, which reopened grain trade ties between the two countries embroiled in a stand-off over Tehran's nuclear ambitions, according to Reuters.
While Israel is confronting the uncertainties of containing and deterring a non-nuclear Iran, no one knows, however, whether sanctions will bite sufficiently to alter the course of Iran's nuclear program.
Emergence of Iran, Hamas and Hizbullah suicide states
According to the Middle East Quarterly publication of "Iran's Suicide Brigades", the Iranian regime continues to embrace suicide terrorism as an important component of its military doctrine. The goal of Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah which Obama does not understand remains Jewish extermination.
As Israeli and American intelligence agencies have also warned, Iran has a network of agents and supporters surrounding Israel and inside the United States.
In Obama's worldview, an Israeli military strike against Iran is a test of his outreach to the Muslim world and a threat to his re-election campaign.
Pyongyang -style pattern of deceit
As the world powers agree on reopening talks with Iran in the coming weeks, the cautiously optimistic Obama administration conveyed its stern warning that this is Iran's last chance for a comprehensive, negotiated and long term resolution of its suspect nuclear program. Much will now depend on the Iranian response to come clean out of its nuclear program, which remains very unlikely.
Obviously, Iran is following North Korea's pattern of stalling, evading and negotiating, a diplomatic strategy that has served them well in the past. Henceforth, it would be a dangerous mistake for Israel to wait while its arch-enemy is racing toward acquiring a nuclear weapon.
"An attack in Iran will increase regional stability in the Middle East"
The possibility that in the event of an Israeli military action, Iran would decide to attack U.S. interests further destabilizing the Middle East is a flawed logic.
In an article written for the New York Times, Major General Amos Yadlin, the former Head of the Directorate of Military Intelligence and current head of the Institute for National Security Studies, believes that an Israeli strike against Iran's nuclear facilities will result in regional stability in the Middle East.
Once and for all, a successful military campaign must completely destroy all of Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile infrastructures including the inner sanctum of the mullah-led regime and the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Taking into consideration the unintended consequences, a non-nuclear Iran is more vulnerable today than in the next year. So Israel must get it over with, by itself.
Trust deficit and loss of U.S. credibility
Early in his presidency, Obama sought a diplomatic engagement policy without any preconditions at the expense of Israel and he failed miserably.
Last year, Obama's keynote policy speech calling for a Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 Israeli borders was detrimental to the elusive peace process.
Relying on some peculiar arguments, the lack of trust and the Obama administration's undermining of Israel's confidence in its military capabilities only emboldened Iran.
After years of sanctions and complacency, how much more time does Obama need to realize Iran's intention in acquiring a nuclear weapon?
To date, Iran's intransigence and lopsided shadow war has served to heighten the sanctions and increase confrontation.
From Israel's perspective, time is running out with Iran. The choice is clear – Tehran will get the atomic bomb or a preventive strike against Iran's deeply buried underground nuclear facilities is a better option than no option at all.
In retrospect, the trio of contending forces' divergent ambiguities could lead to serious miscalculation and dire consequences. Like it or not, a regime change would not prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon in the foreseeable future.
If President Franklin Delano Roosevelt were alive today, 2012?would be?the year which "will live in infamy".

George Crocker was one of the many fine characters we ran into over our years of working at OLD CARS WEEKLY. He started a car museum called The Rearview Mirror in Naggs Head, N.C. and liked the excitement of auctions. When Domino's Pizza Baron Tom Monaghan got into the hobby, George came to be one of his few trusted friends and they had some kind of business association. So, when Tom built his Frank Lloyd Wright style building and car museum in Ann Arbor, Mich., we were invited to the grand opening. Accommodations had been arranged in a brand new Hampton Inn where you eat "continental" breakfast in the commons area. When we went down for breakfast the next day, the only open table was one where two other guests were sitting-George Barris and Andy Griffith. We had met the Kustom kar King several times before, but not the actor. It turned out that "Sheriff Taylor" was also one of George Crocker's partners. Their association had something to do with a North Carolina restaurant called "By George!." The three of us chatted over cereal and bagels and we learned that Andy Griffith owned a woody that Barris Kustoms had built for him. We won't bore you with the details, but getting to do things like eating breakfast with the stars was one of the perks of working for a collector car magazine. It didn't happen a lot though and you always remembered such days. We still see George Barris a lot. George Crocker has passed on and we never saw Andy Griffith again.
Gunner's Garage with John Gunnell
"Gunner" is one of of the most prolific authors and most visible characters in the old car hobby. He has written dozens of books about old cars for Krause Publications and is the former editor and publisher of Old Cars Weekly. His collecting pursuits range from old Pontiacs, to MGs, to retired police cruisers, to Indian motorcycles. He remains a frequent contributor to Old Cars Weekly and owns and operates Gunner's Great Garage, a classic car restoration and gift shop in Manawa, Wis.

It ain't easy being a Microsoft director.
The board now is charged with the once-in-a-generation duty of choosing the next captain for Microsoft. Some shareholders are hoping Microsoft changes course by picking an outsider who can inspire a 100,000-person vessel and point it in a new direction. But as Tuesday's story in The Wall Street Journal explains, the makeup of the nine-member board suggests it won't rock the boat. And the looming presence of co-founder Bill Gates may make it hard for Microsoft to break free from its past. Meanwhile, news that Microsoft is buying Nokia' business is ramping up speculation that the Finnish company's boss, Stephen Elop, is now a front-runner for the top job at Microsoft.
Here's a look at the four directors on the special board committee handling the search. Read More »
Microsoft surprised Wall Street and the technology world when it announced Friday that CEO Steve Ballmer would retire after 13 years at the helm. The news raises a lot of questions about what's next for Microsoft, who is in line to succeed and just what is the 57-year-old Ballmer's legacy.
The Seattle Times snagged an interview with Ballmer and with John Thompson, who is heading the board's search for the next CEO. ZDNet's Mary Jo Foley, who has covered Microsoft for years, also spoke with Ballmer (after what she called a "20-year dry spell"). Read More »

Teddy Roosevelt, the lovable loser of a mascot who had lost 538 consecutive Presidents Races at Nationals games, finally had his day.
In the middle of the fourth inning at every Nationals home game, Teddy, Abe Lincoln, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson – or 9-foot tall cartoon versions of those legendary presidents – all rush from the center-field gate and vie to see who can be the first to cross the finish line near first base.
Since the gag started on July 21, 2006, at RFK Stadium, Teddy had never won it. His losses often came under bizarre circumstances that the real Teddy Roosevelt would not have stood for. On Tuesday night, for instance, George jumped out of the first-base side stands to cut in front of Teddy as he was poised to win for the first time in his mascot life. Instead, his rival broke the tape to jeers from the crowd.
But after a late-season build up that included public encouragement from Sen. John McCain and training help from professional wrestler John Cena – all helpfully broadcast on the big HD scoreboard at Nationals Park – fans began to sense change was in the air for the regular-season finale against Philadelphia on Wednesday.
Teddy, wearing new golden Under Armour shoes and a headband, came out of the gate well behind his competitors. Nothing new there. But the race took a sudden, shocking turn when a mascot dressed to look like the Philly Phanatic jumped from the right-field stands and knocked Abe, Tom and George to the ground. With no judge on hand to call shenanigans, Teddy burst past his fallen foes and raced unopposed to the finish line.
As he crossed the line to a thunderous ovation from the crowd, Teddy ripped open his jersey top to reveal a "Natitude" T-shirt underneath. It is all about synergy, after all. The crowd began chanting "Teddy! Teddy! Teddy!" Even the players acknowledged the win, clapping from the dugout railing.
Remember, it was outfielder Jayson Werth who last year only half-jokingly called Teddy's constant losing an issue for the long moribund franchise. Werth last Sept. 24 tried to sabotage the race after he, former teammate Rick Ankiel and half the Washington bullpen stayed on the field and held George, Abe and Tom up while Teddy sprinted on. His attempted "coup" didn't work. Unfortunately, mascot Teddy has a brain the size of a pea and simply jammed into a scrum with Abe and some relief pitchers until another president got up and crossed the finish line.
"Well, if Teddy can't win, then no one wins in my book," Werth said that day, attempting to justify his actions. "I'm the last remaining member of the Bull Moose Party, I guess."
But much like the team he represents, which won its first National League East title this week since moving to the District from Montreal in 2005, Teddy is a loser no more. The hero of San Juan Hill, the leader of the Rough Riders, the 26th president of the United States, emerged for a curtain call in the fifth inning. His record? 1-538.

Around the Ivies
AROUND THE IVIES: Deep Conference Kicks Off Conference Play
When we last convened, dear Around the Ivies reader, the Ancient Eight was filled with high drama. Heading into the final weekend of conference play, Harvard and Princeton were jockeying for position atop the standings with a bid to the NCAA Tournament on the line. After the Crimson took care of business at home against Cornell and the Tigers laid an orange stripy egg all over the Providence floor, the title remained in Cambridge.
AROUND THE IVIES: Stressful Season Comes to a Close
Stress is an all-too-familiar phenomenon around Cambridge, Mass., this time of year. Stray more than 10 steps into the Science Center, and you're bound to hear someone wailing about a midterm, a paper, or an extra five minutes of section. Wah, wah, wah.
In last week's Around the Ivies, I offered a salute to the Ivy fans that come out to support their teams and hurl abuse at their more athletic peers. This week, I'd like to give it up for the players, struggling through the end of a physically and emotionally taxing basketball season while still hurdling the same general academic obstacles that the rest of us face.
AROUND THE IVIES: Salute to the Fans of Ivy Hoops
Ivy League basketball will get some decent exposure this weekend, with two games set to air on national television. The players will receive the vast majority of the attention, and rightly so, but I'd like to take a moment to give it up for those other Ivy students ready for their moment in the spotlight: the fans.
It's one of the things that makes college basketball different from the pro game—a condensed atmosphere filled with (sometimes) well-lubricated college students looking to burn off a little stress. Our own columnist, Catherine E. Coppinger, captured "the racket" that was the decidedly unfriendly atmosphere at Payne Whitney Gymnasium on Saturday, complete with angry bros and naughty chants. Princeton and Penn, the traditional powers of the conference, can always be counted on to create raucous home atmospheres, and Harvard is starting to approach their level. Take a gander at a few "I Believe" YouTube videos from Lavietes Pavilion if you're not convinced.
AROUND THE IVIES: Smith Gets Big In Nick Of Time
Presumably, this is how the discussion in the Harvard men's basketball locker room went prior to the team's game last Friday against Penn:
Crimson Coach Tommy Amaker: "…and, you know, we're going to need our big guys to step up. Jonah has been doing it all season. Steve, we're going to need a little more consistency out of you. And Kenyatta, I mean…you were a three-star recruit, top twenty in the country at your position, so it's time—"
AROUND THE IVIES: Nemo Rewrites History Books
This week, the world saw an event come to pass for the first time since 1415, igniting widespread mourning, speculation of scandal, and spiritual crises: The Crimson failed to cover a conference basketball game live.
Yea, verily I say unto thee, a winter tempest prevented our heroes from emerging from their stronghold city of Cambridge to undertake the long, wicked road to Sheol, or, as it was renamed by its later inhabitants, Ithaca. The incident will remind longtime readers of that early 15th century spring day, when beat writer Sherman the Bold was waylaid on his route to Old Haven by a troop of marauding raiders. "Sword wavin' Old Haven," Sherman was said to mutter as he expired on the lonely highway.

With a combination of the g13, g700 and g19 I actually ran out of abilities and macros to assign. My most used abilities are bound to the mouse along with interrupts. I tried using clique to assign the keys at first but it would only pick the mouse press up in the setup menu and nowhere else so right now I'm just using the default action bars and numpadbar with modifier macros to assign keys (I'm one of those freaks that insist on using as much of the default ui/actionbars as possible)

Shaheen: There is something in the pyramid "not of this world"
The Ancient EGYPTIANS documented almost everything that went on in historical Egypt nevertheless there is no record of how they constructed the tallest building in historical heritage?
With our Technologies today it has been confirmed that we can NOT duplicate the measurements or precision of the Pyramids yet a bunch of folks with wood equipment and ropes hauled 100 ton heavy blocks 461 Toes up in the air making use of ramps I`ll say…Good Luck!
NASA is making an announcement immediately after another about Extraterrestrial life?
In a shock assertion, head of the Cairo University Archaeology Department, Dr Ala Shaheen has told an audience that there may be fact to the concept that aliens served the historic Egyptians create the oldest of pyramids, the Pyramids of Giza. On becoming additional questioned by Mr Marek Novak, a delegate from Poland as to no matter whether the pyramid may nevertheless incorporate alien engineering or even a UFO with its composition, Dr Shaheen, was imprecise and replied "I can not confirm or deny this, but there is something inside the pyramid that is "not of this entire world". Delegates to the convention on ancient Egyptian architecture ended up left shocked, even so Dr Shaheen has refused to comment further or elaborate on his UFO and alien linked statements.
The Great Pyramid is believed to have been created over a 20 year span. The pyramid is so enormous and so best that we wouldn't be able to assemble one thing like this in our days and age that will compare. Every single giant Stone ranges from 1 to 20 tons in fat, and the Great Pyramid consisted of nicely over 100,000 stones. But the Egyptians had no machinery, engines, or construction equipment. So the concern still stands, who created the excellent pyramids?
Theories propose the Egyptians built these pyramids, but this asks us how Egyptians hauled 20 ton stones and put them completely Hundreds Of Ft substantial 145.75 m, 481 ft high. Some suggest they constructed a ramp with stones that went from the ground to the top rated. The flaw in that theory is that It would take Far more Rocks to develop the ramp than it would to build the Pyramid. When the Pyramid was completed, exactly where did these rocks go? So much for that idea.
Another concern is How did they move these extremely heavy rocks? Specialists that insist Egyptians created the Pyramid propose, trees had been reduce down and smoothed off, and had been employed as giant rollers beneath these 20 ton rocks.

If you've lived in Baltimore for awhile, you've no doubt sampled Heavy Seas beers, most likely the Loose Cannon, a hoppy IPA that has become a potent and popular fixture at local bars and restaurants.
While Heavy Seas beer is made at Clipper City Brewing in Halethorpe, a little bit of Heavy Seas resides in the city at the brewing company's nautical restaurant outpost, Heavy Seas Ale House (1300 Bank St.; 410-522-0850), on the cusp of Little Italy and Harbor East.
Located in the old Holland Tack Factory Building, the ale house melds industrial features of the historic space with a relaxed and family-friendly (but not goofy) pirate ship feel. It makes great use of the expansive space, with a large front bar and casual booths up front, as well as semi-private rooms and an outdoor beer garden that will debut this summer.
The ale house, which opened in February of 2012, is owned by Executive Chef Matt Seeber and two other partners.
Hugh Sisson, a leader in local beer making who opened the state's first brew pub, is a partner in Clipper City Brewing, which makes Heavy Seas beer, but not the ale house itself.
Seeber says that while beer is an integral part of the food at Heavy Seas, he doesn't necessarily "cook" with beer. Beer, he says, is often used to finish the dishes.
Take for instance the 24-Hour Beef Short Rib ($25), which is braised with Peg Leg Imperial Stout and served with polenta, peppers, and onion confit, or the Spice-Roasted Duck Breast ($22) with chard, vegetable quinoa and Kreik-marinated cherries.
The menu is large and leans to the hearty side (it's an ale house, after all) and has beer pairing suggestions for every entree and sandwich, but is full of surprises that you won't find elsewhere in downtown Baltimore.
Where else could you sip an ice cream float made with Peg Leg Imperial Stout, or a Belgian Lambic float for two? Even the bar snacks, such as the Old Bay caramel popcorn or house-made potato chips with tart green mango powder are both worth stopping by for in their own right.
The restaurant also features a raw bar, which features clams, ceviche, and oysters from Rappahannock River Oyster in Topping, Va.
Seeber says he tries to use local and regional food sources when possible. Big City Farms in Federal Hill is one of his favorites for lettuce, and Roma Sausage, a well-known Baltimore sausage company, makes the Ale House's proprietary pork sausage—it has Uber Pils and Old Bay—used in their Grilled Sausage Sliders ($7).
One thing that sets Heavy Seas apart from other restaurants in its Harbor East-Little Italy enclave is its commitment to teaching customers more about food and beer and being part of the larger food and beer scene in Baltimore city.
Weekly events give diners the opportunity to expand their knowledge and cultivate an appreciation for different kinds of beer. Every Friday is Firkin Friday, when a new cask of ale is tapped. Beer poured straight from the cask, or firkin, has less carbonation and a smoother mouth feel. Fridays are also growler-fill days, where growlers can get filled for $14.
Chef's dinners, where guest chefs are invited in from restaurants like Woodberry Kitchen, are scheduled quarterly, and affordable cooking classes and beer-cocktail making classes are a fixture on the restaurant's substantial event calendar.
Rebecca Steen, Heavy Seas manager, says that the new open air beer garden will host several of these events—including an upcoming grilling class—in the summer. Find more information at HeavySeasAleHouse.com.

Secondary Contaiment: Polymer Membrane
Thank you for introducing me to C.I.Agent. In my thirty years in professional safety I have never come across a product to remove oils and fuel from the water like C.I.Agent.
At Stanford the cost of laying a concrete floor to help contain the pollutants was to cost about £30,000 whereas the membrane costs about £5,000 – from a financial perspective alone it is a real winner.
