Why do Ashkenazim have a Minhag to eat Milchigs (dairy) on Shavuos?
Sign up

Seven answers from Aish HaTorah:
And another one (Rama OC 494): the special sacrifice on Shavuot were two loaves of bread. By eating two meals, one meat one dairy, you're forced to have two separate loaves of bread (total) for them.
I believe there's another one from the Zohar about how when blood runs through the mammary glands and is converted to milk, this represents the turning from G-d's wrath (blood) to mercy (milk), which happened as the Jews accepted the Torah. (This is also neat as the Talmud says the ratio of Divine strict justice to mercy is 1:500, (based on Exodus 20:5-6); well wouldn't you know it, but according to this anatomy lecture,
An interesting distinction among these answers is that according to some of them, you're just as well-off (maybe even better) eating only dairy on Shavuot (assuming ice cream makes you just as happy as steak); according to the first answer above, Alex's, and Monica/Aish #4, you should purposely have meat one meal too.
Another one: eating milk, then waiting before eating a meat meal, shows that we are more scrupulous in the laws of kashrus than the angels (who ate both at Avraham's house), and therefore we deserve to receive the Torah (as against their argument that it should be kept in heaven).
Along the one-dairy-meal-then-one-meat-one referenced by others: The event that took place at Matan Torah was of dual significance. While we were given the "Torah Shel Mata" (Torah for down here) its counterpart, the "Torah Shel Ma'ala", stayed up there (just like the parallels between the world down here and the world up there described in the Zohar).
The Torah is the paradigm of things a person benefits from marginally in this world, with the primary benefit awaiting him in the world to come (משנה פאה א:א). We reflect this fact by eating the marginal animal product (milk) earlier in the chag and the primary animal product (meat) later.

I'm in need of a condition that is analogous to the "finality" condition in the following lemma:
Lemma: A functor $F\colon A\to B$ is final if and only if for any functor $x\colon B\to Set$, the natural map $colim (xF)\to colim(x)$ is an isomorphism.
This lemma could be taken instead as a definition of final functor, but finality is more easily recognized by whether all slice categories of a certain kind are non-empty and connected. I want a recognition principle for a more general kind of finality, which I'm calling local finality.
The more general context requires a bit of notation. If $A$ is a category, write $A-Set$ for the category of functors $A\to Set$. If $F\colon A\to B$ is a functor, write $\Delta_F\colon B-Set\to A-Set$ for the ``composition with $F$" functor, and write $\Sigma_F$ for its left adjoint and $\Pi_F$ for its right adjoint (these three are also sometimes denoted by $F^*, F_!$, and $F_*$ respectively).
The following lemma (obviously) holds for some appropriate definition of locally final.
Lemma: Suppose that we have a commutative diagram $A\xrightarrow{F}B\xrightarrow{x}C$ and let $G:=xF$. Then $F$ is locally final if and only if the natural map $\Sigma_G\Delta_F\to\Sigma_x$ is an isomorphism.
Is there a nice recognition principle for this kind of ``local finality"? I have a big messy condition obtained by following my nose, but it's of no use. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it true I should avoid storing firewood near my home (due to concern about termites)? Or is it perfectly fine to store firewood in a convenient spot just outside the door?
Storing your firewood on an elevated rack should alleviate most insect problems. The wood should not be in direct contact with the ground or with a structure. Leave enough of a gap to promote air flow around the stack.
Rotate your firewood from season to season (do not stack new firewood on top of old).
If you live in a termite prone area (the southeast or California), you may want to keep your stack further away from buildings, in case they do get a hold of the wood.
Where I live termites are only a minor problem. We are more concerned about bushfires. Regardless, most people in the area store their firewood up against the back fence on housing blocks or in a standalone pile at least 100m (30 yards) from any building on larger sites, such as farms. As timber fences are generally treated with creosote nobody's worried about the termites there.

Gotcha...but it also states: Designated shooting areas also exist on the Los Padres National ForestSeems odd they would designate shooting areas to somewhere that allowed open shooting everywhere.Anyway, as I said. If you go over the hill and down into Cuyama Valley you will shortly come to Apache Cyn. I've shot a ton out there without a problem. I used to live in NP...it's not a bad drive from there. You do need one of the Adventure Passes though...and during fire season they sometimes close it to shooting.

I have been there although its been a while. They have different places/ranges setup for everything. Its not expensive and is well run. Only real drawback is its all on dirt, as in dirt road=dust.
Has anyone been to http://www.aplacetoshoot.net/ to shoot clays? Their prices seem cheap enough. I will probably try them in Feb after hunting season unless someone has horrible stories about them.
Posted 21 January 2012 - 07:34 PM
Went up to the forest last weekend and talked to the visitor center guy on the 33. He told me that anywhere but cherry creek would be fine, exactly what the ranger for the district told me. Go up to a common rec area called Rose Valley, and theres a big sign saying no shooting for the public safety (not outrageous as it is a popular place to go), go up the road a little more and see the small road that leads down to a trailhead and again theres a no shooting sign, go up the 33 some more and decide to just park and go shooting off in a small flatter area across a creek, no problems at all there. We shot for about 3 hours and cleaned everything up that we could. So I guess the ranger and the visitor center poeple either didn't know that there are restricted shooting areas (doesnt make any sense), or there out dated and no longer in effect exept maybe Rose Valley.
Seems odd they would designate shooting areas to somewhere that allowed open shooting everywhere.

Something brings new birds to Sound
|A northern gannet. Credit: Julian Hough
When I first moved to Connecticut, northern gannets were rare visitors off our shoreline. Razorbills and common murres had not yet been confirmed as occurring in state waters, and Wilson's storm-petrels were hardly a blip on any state birder's radar screen.
I point this out after having seen several gannets off Rocky Neck State Park in East Lyme on Saturday, after watching daily reports of razorbills this week from one end of the coast to the other and after being fortunate to help document the state's first common murre two Januarys ago at Hammonasset Beach State Park.
What's going on?
Wilson's storm-petrels have been regular summer visitors for more than a decade, and last winter produced the biggest haul of alcids (razorbills, common murres and thick-billed murres) ever recorded in state waters. Northern gannets are regular migrants through the Sound, passing through by the hundreds when conditions are right.
Improved water conditions have to be part of the answer. With the exception of the storm-petrels, all of these birds are almost exclusively fish-eaters, and it seems logical that the fish needed to attract all of these species would increase only with improved water conditions.
I'm sure it's not that simple. Ocean currents and conditions outside the Sound may also be part of the equation, and things still can vary from year to year.
This past summer, for instance, storm-petrels were almost absent. They're kind of a wild card, because unlike the other species under consideration, which dive for fish in the colder months, Wilson's storm-petrels pick smaller prey from the surface during summer.
There are probably different sets of variables at work to entice each of these birds of the open ocean into the confines of Long Island Sound. Whatever the cause, it's heartening to be able see these dynamic creatures while standing on the Connecticut coast.

I am wondering why scala can't infer the type of method parameters.I can see that in haskel (which also has type inference) can do the same. Then why not for scala ?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
First of all the situation in Scala is quite a bit different than in Haskell because it's an OO language and type-inference in an object oriented setting is a bit more complicated.
The only OO language that I know which comes close to full type inference is OCaml. OCaml does so by making extensive use of structural typing (the inferred type of
However Scala has many additional features (overloading, implicit conversions) that get in the way of OCaml's approach and make full, global type inference impossible.
To put it simply, Hindley-Milner, the type inference algorithm used by Haskell, doesn't work in the presence of subtyping.

After reading this article, I want to try to re-season a skillet with flaxseed oil; I'm fairly certain I did a terrible job when I seasoned the skillet several years ago. Is it possible to do this with steel wool or vinegar? (I don't have a self-cleaning oven, so that method is out.)
Do you need to remove a bunch of burnt-on stuff as well as the season? If the pan is clean but not rust-resistant or non-stick like you want, I'd suggest just treating it like you were doing it for the first time and just season over the old. It's not like you care about hurting the old season--you'll just be thickening it and filling in gaps.
If you need to get it back to day zero, there are definitely questions here with good answers about how to do it.
But the first thing I'd try, since the day zero cleaning methods are fairly drastic, is to make sure it's as clean as you can manage, then just go ahead and season. I have had good luck rehabilitating pans that were poorly seasoned but otherwise OK by doing this.
Based on your response in the comments, I would definitely heat up the pan in the oven as high as it will go, and let it go until it stops smoking (put the cold pan in the cold oven to start). That should burn off/dry any excess oil, which it sounds like you have. Then I'd let it cool enough to handle, then season as if it were new. I don't care for the "tacky" seasoning because it's too easy to get a buildup of unseasoned grease. So I'd cook that down/off and start over. And I always rinse with the hottest water my sink makes, to prevent buildup--no soap, though.
From what you're describing, you probably just need to clean it (maybe a little scrub; I use some coarse salt and oil) and re-season, not fully strip it ...
... but you have a nasty, disgusting pan ... the sort of thing that's found when cleaning out someone's barn or otherwise neglected for years, first start with:
Next, you'll need to scrub. A wire brush is your friend for this. (I have some finer steel wire brushes and brass wire brushes; the heavy duty steel ones for scrubbing paint off of concrete block might be a little rough on the pan; a grill brush might do okay).
You could also take your pan into a sandblasting company and get it sandblasted. That will leave you with the grey/silver cast iron like when you get it new.
Scrubbing is hard. In general, burn it off.
You have to get the pan super hot, and it will have to stay hot until the carbon (oils and food bits) turn to ash (white). This takes awhile.
You can stick it in a fire. In my restaurants, we stick it over a vey big flame.
For the home, you can flip it upside down and put it in your oven on a self cleaning cycle. The clean mode is HOT (800 edges?) and your pan will come out clean. Easy.
Just remember to REMOVE the racks, otherwise they'll get destroyed.
To strip seasoning just heat it up real hot, or throw it in the fire for a couple of hours
You should be able to re-season a pan as often as you like
You should have to ever do this unless you don't look after it (let it rust, or use vast amounts of vinegar etc
The best seasoning is one that is built up from many thin layers over many years
Flax seed oil is fine, so is practically any oil, the oil gets converted by the heat into a polymer of sorts, so the exact type is somewhat irrelevant
If you seasoning is sticky, just heat it up hotter till it either sets or incinerates off
That's the beauty of cast iron, you cant go wrong. More heat will always fix the problem :-)
I read the same article and immediately stripped and reseasoned my #7 Griswold. I mainly focused on stripping the cooking surface (not caring as much about the sides). I alternated between
Sandpaper, works like a charm. Just takes a little persistence, and then a thorough washing to get the fine bits of crud/iron out.
My preferred method is lye. Strips the seasoning without hours of playing around with sandpaper. Soak the pan in strong lye overnight, then wash with lots of water.
Take precautions while working with lye (NaOH), the stuff is very corrosive.
Don't use acids on an iron pan, they rust the surface in seconds. (So no barkeeper's friend!)

This Is How Diabetes Swept The Nation
Credits: Stephanie d'Otreppe / NPR
When it comes to diabetes, just about everyone has heard there's an epidemic upon us.
In 2010, about 18.8 million people of all ages in the U.S. had been diagnosed with diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Another 7 million had diabetes but hadn't been diagnosed.
How much have things changed?
Back in 1995, about 4.5 percent of adults in the U.S. had been diagnosed with diabetes. By 2010, the prevalence had zoomed to 8.2 percent.
In 1995, diabetes prevalence among adults was 6 percent or greater in only three states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. By 2010, diabetes had increased everywhere. And in every state the prevalence was at least 6 percent.
It's one thing to hear about the problem or to look at a sea of statistics. But we figured a map built on the state-by-state figures from the CDC might make the dramatic rise in diabetes easier to grasp.
So we created an interactive one from the prevalence figures for diagnosed diabetes, adjusted for age, that were collected in nationwide telephone surveys. Flip through the map to see how much worse diabetes has become in less than a generation.

Looking up, you can take in one of the four ceiling fans. It's also worth noting the rustic troweled-on texture of the ceiling used throughout living area.
This view is out the side window. You'll note, we opted to wait on building the closet until after some real-world living in the room. One of the great things about domes is the interior walls are generally non-structural -- so you have this kind of flexibility.
Turning to the right you can see the pocket door leading to the master bathroom.
Here you can get a good idea for how accessible the house is, as we look out of the bedroom into the main living space.
Finally, the master bathroom. Again here you can see what a nice touch the tile transition strips added.

An efficient floor plan incorporates a small counter depth fridge, combination washer/dryer unit, range, built in microwave, and a dishwasher -- all into a very accessible "L" shaped design.
Here's another view of the in-wall pantry. This will allow canned goods and other small items to be always readily available. It also turned out very pretty.
Taking a look from the side of the kitchen you can see the built in bookshelf just above the microwave.
And just off the kitchen is the guest bath. This will also serve as the second full bath should the house ever be converted to the three bedroom floor plan.

Off to the left, you can see the bedroom door. To the right of that you'll find the entry to the kitchen.
One thing previous readers of this site may notice is that we installed ceramic tile rather than the planned stained concrete floors. This allowed for a more finished look, and these neat tile transitions between the rooms.
Here you see the living room window and the view out to the front driveway. Around each of the windows is a painted plaster surround with a wooden sill underneath.
Turning to our right you'll find a similar treatment around the sliding glass door that leads to the side patio. The sunlit space is where the dining room table will eventually sit.
Turning back to the left, you can see the in-wall can pantry (still needs shelves and doors) at the edge of the kitchen, along with the door out to the garage. I just love the curves of the ceilings and outer walls.

With a big THANK YOU to so many friends, family, neighbors, contractors, and the fine folks at Monolithic -- I am pleased to announce Trinity Dome is (pretty much) complete. We wrapped up the interior over the weekend, and received our occupancy permit from the city inspectors as well.
We still have a few odds and ends to finish up, but nothing standing in the way of Helen moving in and enjoying. So, without further ado, here are some pictures:
I'm starting with the garage door opener, because it was my Dad's last birthday present... and he would have loved the old-Dodge-truck-style mounting brackets I fashioned!
Now, here's a shot of the main part of the house. One of my favorite features of this house is the sweeping curves of the living and dining rooms. It's pure organic beauty.
In the interest of simplicity, I'm going to split the remaining photos into several posts -- so stay tuned, and thanks again to everyone that's helped these last two years!

He was a very nice guy, and we chatted for quite awhile about Monolithic Domes, their history, and how they've spread around the world. In the end, he turned our talk into the basis of a very informative article.
Thanks to Greg for stopping by, and filing this great report. The full article, including audio and (coming soon) video can be found here on the VOA web site.

CAC Takes SSI Fight for Child in Structured Setting to Third Circuit
This article appears in the Fall 2012 CLINIC NEWS.
The Child Advocacy Clinic has filed a potentially precedent-setting appeal in the Third Circuit challenging the denial of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits to one of the clinic's child clients. While the case concerns the general denial of benefits to the now 11-year-old child, it has the potential to create law in the Circuit for many children with disabilities on one particular issue – the Social Security Administration's (SSA's) consideration of a specialized setting and supports in determining whether a child is disabled for SSI purposes.
The CAC contends that the SSA failed to take into account the highly-structured and sheltered setting that the client required to perform activities associated with daily living, especially at school. Federal regulations require the SSA to consider whether a child needs a specialized setting, and how the child would function in the absence of a structured setting and therapeutic services should s/he need the same. Structured and supportive settings tend to minimize the symptoms of a child's impairments and improve the child's functioning while the child is present. Therefore, in determining disability, courts must consider how the child would function outside of these settings, without the benefit of the specialized services and programming. This analysis is critical to deciding whether a child is disabled for SSI purposes.
While numerous district courts have rendered decisions on this issue, with some finding for the SSI child applicant and others not, the Third Circuit has yet to issue a published decision. The CAC seeks not only to obtain SSI benefits for this child client, but also to ensure that this regulation is followed properly in the future through a precedential Third Circuit decision mandating compliance.

Is there anything wrong with putting up a cholent to cook right before Shabbos?
Sign up

Some background:
The Gemara is concerned that if people leave a pot on the flame starting Friday afternoon, a person may get impatient for his dinner and stir the pot around on the flame, or play with the flame, to get it to cook faster.
The normal recommended alternative is if you want to leave a pot cooking from before Shabbos, you must make sure the food is at least 1/2 (some say 1/3) cooked before shabbos begins, that way, it's already "minimally edible" and hence "cooked."
Another option suggested is to take something large, raw, and needing a long cooking time, and putting it up immediately before shabbos -- you have no hope that this will cook in time for dinner Friday night, no matter how you play with it, so you'll leave it until the next day.
By this logic, if someone had a large pot of cholent containing large chunks of frozen (raw?) meat and raw potatoes, if an hour or so wouldn't be enough to cook it, it could be put up right before Shabbos.
Major caveat: Rabbi Yosef Eliyahu Henkin, the premier halachic authority of America for several decades in the early-to-mid 1900s, felt that a "will take too long to cook" setup as described by the Gemara didn't pertain to today's kitchen appliances, so he felt this option was no longer available. (This appears in the Ezras Torah calendar, which follows his rulings.) I don't know which other rabbis say what.
Shulchan Oruch Harav rules that one may put raw meat (beef specifically, which takes longer to cook) into a pot and into an oven to cook slowly just before Shabbos. The reasoning is that since it will take a long time to cook, a person will not come to stoke the coals, or otherwise interfere with it and desecrate Shabbos - he knows it needs to cook the entire night.
On the other hand, placing raw meat into an oven to roast would be not permitted since it takes less time to cook and will become edible that evening. There is then a danger that a person might forget that it's forbidden to interfere with it and come to desecrate Shabbos.
It would follow that it is permitted to put the cholent in a slow cooker just before Shabbos, if it contains raw meat. A slow cooker on a low setting takes 6-8 hours to cook a cholent.
EDIT by sabbahillel Note that one must tape over or disable the control knob so that the setting cannot be changed once it is plugged in. This would prevent it from being turned up or down during Shabbos.
Either way, it is best to consult a competent orthodox rabbi. Try askmoses.com or chabad.org
If you either put a blech or threw raw meat in just before shabbos, the only problem will be that your beans may not get cooked.

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Amethyst, the most precious member of the quartz family, exhibits purple shades ranging from pale lilac to deep purple, sometimes exhibiting reddish or rose overtones. Very deep-colored amethysts are the finest and most highly valued. Some stones are so over-saturated with color they have areas that are blacked out, which can negatively impact their value. Paler shades, sometimes called "Rose of France," were common in Victorian jewelry. Banding—darker and lighter zones of color—is also a common occurrence. Occasionally, amethyst is even found combined with its sister quartz, citrine, into a single stone called ametrine.
The birthstone for February, amethyst is an extremely popular gem for jewelry because of its regal color, variety of sizes and shapes, affordability and wide range of hues. It also is the recommended gem for couples celebrating their 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries. With a hardness of 7.0 on the Mohs Scale , amethyst can occur as long prismatic crystals that have six-sided pyramids at either end, or can form as drusies that are crystalline crusts that only show the pointed terminations.
The ancient Greeks believed that amethyst made one immune to the effects of alcohol. In fact, the name even comes from the Greek word amethystos, which means "not drunken." Legend has it that the amethyst originated from Bacchus, the god of wine. Bacchus became angry at the mortals and vowed that the next mortal to cross his path would be eaten by tigers. Amethyst, a beautiful young maiden, was on her way to worship the goddess, Diana. Diana turned her into colorless quartz to keep her from being eaten. Bacchus observed the miracle and repented his hasty decision. He poured wine over the young maiden, leaving her feet and legs colorless. This is the reason that amethyst crystals are usually uneven in color and have a colorless base at the bottom. Because amethyst was believed to prevent drunkenness, wine goblets were often carved from it in ancient Greece. Today, the gem still symbolizes sobriety.
Amethyst has been a part of history throughout the ages. Evidence suggests that prehistoric humans used amethysts for decoration as early as 25,000 B.C. Legends suggest that the Egyptian queen Cleopatra wore an amethyst signet ring, as did Saint Valentine, who bared an amethyst engraved with the figure of Cupid. During medieval times, people used the stone as medication to stay awake and alert. Leonardo Da Vinci claimed that amethyst could dissipate evil thoughts and quicken the intelligence. In some legends, the stone represents piety, celibacy and dignity. In the Middle Ages, for instance, the gem was an important ornamentation for the Catholic Church and other religions. It was considered the stone of bishops, and they still often wear amethyst rings. In Tibet, amethyst is considered sacred to Buddha and rosaries are often made from it. Amethyst has also long been a favorite of kings and queens for its royal purple hues that symbolize wisdom, strength and confidence. Amethysts are even featured in the British Crown Jewels and were worn by Catherine the Great.
Amethyst's availability and magical qualities make it the stone of preference in ancient lore and mysticism. As a meditation stone, it is said to quiet the mind, promote contemplation, sharpen psychic powers and uplift the spirit. It is a stone of deep wisdom. Folklore says it can quicken the wit, calm fears, ward off anger and overcome alcoholism. It has a royal purple essence that is said to lend courage to travelers, scare off thieves and protect travelers from harm, sickness and danger. Placed under the pillow or worn to bed, there are claims it promotes peaceful sleep, pleasant dreams, and the healing of tired joints and muscles. Amethyst can also be worn to supposedly make the wearer gentle, amiable and happy.
The stone is mined in Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Argentina, as well as in Zambia, Namibia and other African nations. Very dark amethyst in small sizes also is mined in Australia. But the ideal for fine quality amethyst was set by a Siberian variety, often called Russian or Uralian amethyst, which is now considered a defunct source. Generally, South American amethyst tends to come in larger sizes than African amethyst, but the African variety has a reputation for having deeper color intensity and is therefore considered more valuable. The African version also is harder to come by than amethyst mined from South America. Most of today's amethyst comes out of Brazil.
Often referred to as the "Queen of Garnets," rhodolite is the violet-red variety of the garnet family. Its most prized color is a beautiful raspberry, but the gem can also be found in shades of pink, red and wine. The name is derived from the Greek words "rhodon" and "lithos," meaning rose-stone, which connects the gemstone today with the raspberry-pink flower known as the rhododendron.
Rhodolite is a combination of almandine and pyrope garnets. Although it is occasionally found in volcanic rock, the stone is most often found in alluvial deposits in the form of water-worn pebbles. For this reason, large solitaires weighing 5.00ct or more are seldom seen at retail. Most rhodolite is mined in Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It ranks a 7.5 on the Mohs Scale and is ideal for jewelry.
The ancients wore rhodolites as amulets for protection from injury or death in battles. Modern folklore says rhodolite can help one understand dreams, as well as bring about love and devotion when given as a gift.
A selection of our jewelry is made of sterling palladium alloy. Palladium is a member of the platinum group of precious metals. By replacing a portion of the copper content used in standard sterling silver with palladium, this proprietary formula renders a precious metal with superior performance attributes. Sterling palladium is five times more tarnish-resistant than standard sterling silver and has strength similar to that of 14K gold.
Palladium has been used as a precious metal in jewelry since 1939, originally as an alternative to platinum for making white gold. Its naturally white color requires no rhodium plating. Additionally, palladium is proportionally much lighter than platinum and is ideal for use in heavier gemstone jewelry. It is a more expensive alloy than nickel, but it seldom causes the allergic reactions that nickel alloy can.

HONG KONG (CNNMoney) -- Eurozone finance ministers and the International Monetary Fund announced Monday they had reached an agreement that moves Greece closer to receiving a massive bailout payment.
The deal includes lower interest rates for Greece, a debt buyback and more time for the debt-laden country to repay its rescue loans. The measures could help cut Greek debt to targets of 124% of GDP by 2020 and lower than 110% in 2022.
But plans to forgive Greek debt, a step some negotiators think is necessary to restore fiscal balance in Greece, were shelved .
"I welcome the initiatives agreed today by the Eurogroup aimed at further supporting Greece's economic reform program and making a substantial contribution to the sustainability of its debt," Christine Lagarde, the IMF managing director, said in a statement.
"This builds on the significant efforts by the Greek government to carry forward its fiscal and structural reform agenda," she said.
The meeting between the eurozone finance ministers and IMF officials, which dragged on for around 10 hours in Brussels, was the third round of talks in recent weeks.
The agreement moves Greece toward the release of a 44 billion euro bailout to be paid in several installments. Much of the bailout money will be used to recapitalize Greek banks in a bid to revive lending to companies and households.
Greece received its first bailout two and a half years ago, but worries persist that the country's still-massive debt levels could lead to a messy exit from Europe's monetary union. Still, investors greeted the news with enthusiasm, boosting Asian stocks and U.S. market futures.
In Greece, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has won parliamentary support for new spending cuts, tax rises and labor market reforms aimed at reining in Greece's debt -- seen soaring to 190% of GDP in 2013 -- and restoring growth to an economy about to enter its sixth year of recession.
The latest austerity drive has sparked violent protests in Greece, where unemployment now stands at 25% and where living standards for many have plunged as the economy has shrunk by a fifth.
But Greece's resolve has reassured the troika of international lenders -- the EU, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund -- and won Athens two more years to meet a budget deficit target contained in its second bailout program agreed earlier this year.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Only Natural Pet Phero-Soothe Dog and Cat:
I am pleased at how this took the edge off of our 2 year old labs' anxiety. I sprayed it in his bed before company arrived and also sprayed it in his fav blankie that he snuggles with. I've used essential oils in the same manor. Not long lasting but just calmed him enough to not need many corrections while we had visitors. Definitely worth the small cost
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Something simple that works!
By Moochie
from Katonah, NY
One of my rescue dogs is terrified of the car, tried everything, trainer, and calming aids..but one day I forgot the calming herbal aids and the only thing I had was phero-soothe..and guess what ..she was pretty good..even wagged her tail a few times..so I think it's def worth a try!
Great stuff
By JS
from Goddard Ks
Use about 5 minutes in car before going. Dog stays calm for ride and after leaving him in car when going in somewhere. Much easier than giving him a pill that takes longer to work.

Whoever invented it should be CANONIZED
By ACE
from East Coast
Lil Baby (12 lbs of feline muscle)has an ATTITUDE. She wants to kill me when she smells Cee Cee Kitty's scent on me (I can NOT put Sweet Cee Cee anywhere near this feline beast). She tried to attack the cat sitter, who wears the scent of about 5,000 cats on her. SO, faced by this raging poufed up monster, I sprayed the CS's shoes, MY shoes and the floor near LB -- who suddenly acted VERY confused (as if to say "Now then, What was I just about to do??") However, she did not totally back down, but the momentary confusion was enough for us to safely get out the wand, the treats and the toys. I have about 6 bottles of Phero Soothe strategically placed thru the apartment. This is helping to make life more bearable for all involved.

My 16 year old Chi has dementia and prescription drugs make his condition worse. So, no drugs. I spray his room twice a day , keep the room enclosed, then move Chico in there. This spray has helped him relax and reduce his wailing, then he can fall asleep naturally. I do recommend it & I just purchased 2 more bottles.

I used the Phero-soothe when we had to take our 16 year old Kittie with us on a short trip. She was calm in the car and at the unfamiliar place. I sprayed it in her carrier.
Pheramones not stong enough for this dog
By Alicia
from Milwaukee WI
I gave this to my daughter and son-in-law to see if it could calm their over energetic tick hound. Seems like it works in the car or closed in space the best. Not so much in the house even if sprayed everywhere. He still bounces off the wall when someone comes.

It is well known that the first DNA polymerase, Taq, is quite error prone. Newer generation commercial enzymes that have either been isolated from different thermophile species or have been improved by recombination are less error prone. How are these error rates compared? For instance, if this is done by Sanger sequencing, the average signal will dominate in reading the output and so it will be very unlikely to pick up on errors by this method.
According to their website New England Biolabs use a version of the approach pioneered by Wayne Barnes, as described in:
This is basically an assay for the mutation rate in a PCR-amplified lacZ (β-galactosidase) gene, assayed by transforming E. coli, plating on the chromogenic β-galactosidase substrate Xgal, and then scoring white colonies as mutated genes. Also according to NEB, Agilent Technologies use a similar mutational assay, but based upon the lacI (lac repressor) gene.

In flash i have a class that extends movieclip and i am moving it forward, up and down, and rotating it. How can i calculate the vector that is perpendicular to this movieclip?
Well as explained here it is pretty easy to get the perpendicular vector from the movement vector:
So you just need to calculate the direction vector and then do what they said. Now how exactly you should calculate the direction vector will depend on your specific implementation; since you haven't provided us any code I'm not sure what you are doing.
However I'll give an explanation based on one common implementation; you simply store the scalar speed of the moving object, and every frame calculate a movement vector based on that speed and the rotation. In that case the movement vector is calculated using simple trigonometry, something like:
In 3D, I'd just take the cross product of the movement vector and the up vector.

>>Current Force Powers: PUSH 1, PULL 1, JUMP 2
>>Force Upgrade: SPEED has increased to level 2, and MIND TRICK is now
available at level 1.
>>Objectives: Find Lando's ship, the Lady Luck.
To start, just follow Lando to his ship, the "Lady Luck". Start running
up the ramps, and at the top take out a Gran... from there just follow Lando
(you'll have to hit the switch on a lift). Stay in this control room until he
finishes speaking ("How's it look?"), otherwise a door down below won't open.
Those two platforms in this room that look like lifts are... later, when you're
running around on the catwalks outside, you'll pass the doors for these lifts,
but there's no way to call them. C'est la vie...
Once Lando has finished with his speech, there are two ways to go...
back down the glass corridor, or down the lift in here. If you go back down the
corridor, wait down below in the area where you killed the Gran (with the two
doors) until Lando mentions the safeties. If you take the lift... get on the
lift to the right of the door (the one without the Bacta) - at the bottom, exit
and you'll see a bridge with a locked door at the other end... across the bridge
and slash through the lock, bringing you back into the room where you killed the
From the corridor - the door you need to go through is the one on the
right as you come back down; from outside it's the one on your left. Through
that door - after Lando mentions the safeties - and into a room with a big red-
rimmed hole in the center. Through the door on the other side, and into a dark
room... you'll need to use your Light Amplification Goggles in here. Down to the
right is a short black container you can JUMP up on, then continue winding your
way through this room (ducking through that small arch, of course) to a door
leading to the outside (shut off the Goggles at this point).
Straight ahead from you out here - across the chasm - is a walkway and a
door, which leads into the starpad... but of course you need to take the long
way around. After you kill and slash in this cargo area, head down that catwalk
with the oval cutouts... on your left as you go is a door (which won't open now)
leading to one of the roof sections.
At the end of the catwalk, watch out... snipers, and Turrets which are
giving Lando problems. In the door, kill everyone, through the next hall (watch
out for the snipers firing on you from the windows at the end) and out the
door... straight ahead is a platform sticking out into space, get on that and
turn left.
JUMP up to where the Turrets are and take them out... then into the room
and kill off the Baddies in here. Out the door - this is the hall where those
snipers were firing through the windows earlier - and down the next hall, into
the next room... of the three doors in here, only the center one will open;
through that and up to the end. Hit the switch there, and get ready for Secret
[Secret 1] JUMP up through the glass ceiling (it'll take a little work)
and along it to a ledge on the right at the end. Get the Secret, then back down
through the glass ceiling.
In the room with the three doors (ignore the door under the glass
ceiling room at the bottom of the slope; you can't open that now), go through
the left door and get ready for Secret 2.
[Secret 2] as soon as you get out the door, look right and up... you'll
see a short darkened slope - you've got to get up there. Your best bet is to go
down the ramp some, turn and face that slope, then SPEED + JUMP up to that
darkened slope; from there, JUMP up to the darkened ledge above for the Secret
Once you've finished with Secret 2, head along the catwalk... watch out
for snipers firing from the other side of the chasm. That big octagonal
structure ahead is a fuel tank; go around it to the right to collect items and
kill off Bad Guys. Once all the way around it, you'll be on a short connector
bridge: facing down the chasm, ahead and on the left is where you hit Secret 2,
and ahead on the right is a walkway along a building, with a door... that leads
into the Starpad, but of course it won't open right now.
You'll have a pair of pipes overhead, with a fuel tank on either side -
the one on your right is what you'll need to get up on later to open the fuel
valves. Go around that tank to the right (counterclockwise), and down a darkened
passageway... you'll pass a door on the right (which won't open) which leads to
the other set of roof controls, and then you'll pass one of those lift doors
from the control room where you started; if you came down the lift, this is it.
To your right is that bridge with the locked door at the end, and straight ahead
is a large lift which opens on to the Starpad.
As soon as you hit that lift, Checkpoint. Be careful in this hanger,
because you need to keep Lando alive, which isn't very easy on the harder
difficulties. Run down to the back end of the ship to that door... Bad Guys will
come pouring in (note that when the door opens, you'll see a short bridge
extending to connect to the walk out here... across it is that glass ceiling
room from earlier). Once they're dead, run back to the other end of the hanger
and take out all the Bad Guys before they take out Lando.
Once everybody (except Lando) is dead, head up into the ship... you'll
hear Lando say that there's a problem ("So what's new?"). Note: if Lando gets
stuck in the hanger at any point, use PUSH or PULL on him to get him moving
again; he needs to get into the ship in order to continue. Once he's made his
speech, head around to the right side of the ship to check out the fuel
valves... the gray valve is a yellow 'x', while the red valve is a broken circle
with a slash through it.
Out the door at the base of the ship's ramp, and head left - watch out
for snipers. Straight ahead are two fuel tanks - the one on the left is what you
need to get up on, but you don't have enough JUMP to get straight up there.
Instead, get on one of the footings of the right-hand tank, and from there JUMP
up on the pipes and across to the other tank. Use the two valves up here,
changing the gray to a yellow 'x', and changing the red to a broken circle with
a slash through it... your Datapad will update when you've got it right. You
need to go back into the hanger to get to the roof controls, but first go get
Secret 3.
[Secret 3] from the tank with the valves, get across to the top of the
other tank (cross the pipes and JUMP up)... straight ahead across the way is a
darkened ledge which is Secret 3.
Back inside the hanger, on the right side of the ship is a pile of
crates... they can be blown up (or slashed) to reveal a grate in the floor;
slash that and drop in. At the end of this low tunnel i one of the roof control
rooms. There are five switches in here: one where that Rodian is firing at you,
and four others, one each at the half-pipes. You need to hit the four at the
pipes before you can hit the one on the separate control panel. To get back to
the hanger, either drop back down the hole you came through, or out the door -
that leads back to that darkened hall you went through before getting to the
Back in the hanger, on the other (left) side is a single crate against
the wall... PUSH it to reveal another floor grate. Through that tunnel and out
into the other roof control room, and again do the five switches. The door in
here leads back out to that catwalk with the oval cutouts, so you might be
better off going back through the tunnel.
Back in the hanger, get into the ship and up into the cockpit... just to
the left of the door is a gun control which you'll need.
After the brief cutscene, 'use' the gun controls and take out all the
Bad Guys outside. Be warned: the ship will start taking damage as soon as you
open fire, but most of the time you'll have no problem. Once they're all dead,
the level ends.

Isabella Goes Greek
THE PARTY DC's superhot 14th Street just got a little spicier! Chef Mike Isabella opened the Greek-themed Kapnos, a 6,000-square-foot space accented with rich materials and exceptional lighting. The main attraction, of course, is an authentic menu—inspired by Isabella's travels to Northern Greece—that will make vegetable- and meat-lovers alike extremely happy. Outstanding dishes made the rounds, and guests toasted the new venture with incredible Greek wines. THE PEOPLE The restaurant, whose name means "smoke" in Greek, opened its doors to more than 100 restaurant and media insiders, including Kevin Sbraga of Top Chef fame and chef Haidar Karoum of Proof and Estadio. BEST IN SHOW Talk about a gourmand's dream: Isabella and Kapnos business partner/Chef de Cuisine George Pagonis (his brother Nick is also a partner and general manager) worked their carving magic at two massive rotisserie spits in the restaurant's open kitchen. Libations also created a major stir, as Beverage Director Taha Ismail showed off sweet-but-soothing lemonade cocktails. Photography by Jeff Martin

What is a good way of learning how to season food correctly? Are there some foods which are particularly bland until seasoned correctly that can be used to 'educate' your palate as to what is correctly seasoned?
My best recommendation is to taste as you go. Taste the initial product...raw vegetable, ingredient from the can, bottle, etc. and then continue to taste and sample a dish throughout the cooking process to see how flavors develop/diminish and enhance one another through the cooking process.
Learning to season food is a process of educating your palate and developing a "flavor memory"
One of the most important factors is to use enough salt. Food that is properly seasoned with salt shouldn't taste salty but will have a brighter more vibrant flavor of the ingredients that are in the dish. Food must be cooked with salt for this to occur. Food that is seasoned at the table will merely taste salty as the salt doesn't have a chance to dissolve and pull the juices out and help them mingle with one another as happens during cooking.
The more of the basic flavor profiles that you can incorporate the more lively and flavorful anything will be. Even before cooking you can take a look at a recipe and "disect" its flavor profile by determining which ingredients will add sweetness, sourness, etc. If you notice that it's heavy in one direction or another, the flavor profile of the item(s) missing will likely improve the dish. Then it's a matter of deciding what ingredient with that flavor profile would be best to add to that particular dish.
Shameless (but applicable to the question) plug: If you're ever in Savannah, GA I offer a class called "Flavor Dynamics". It is focused entirely around understanding how flavor develops, what affects our perception of flavor, and how to create well rounded flavor in your food.
Definitely taste as you go and season gradually and regularly. Good chefs might taste their dish thirty times before it gets to the plate. Proper seasoning is not a formula, it's heat-seeking missile that constantly adjusts to hit its target. Or an impressionist painter who builds a base of color and then dabs on highlights and shadow to bring out the bigger picture.
Details: Salt is not a flavor, just a flavor enhancer. Add dried spices early, fresh herbs late. The more seasoning cooks, the deeper it's flavor, the less seasoning cooks the sharper its flavor. If you season early and late, you get both effects.
Anatomy is the base of flavor. We taste sweet, salty, acid, bitter, and umami. Also heat. If your food tastes bland, one of these is missing. If your food tastes off, one of these is out of balance with another.
Sweetness is sugar, honey, carmelized onions. Acid is lemons, lime, vinegar. Bitter is dark greens, brussel sprouts, rind. Umami is sauteed mushrooms, soy sauce, melted cheese. Other foods float between categories depending on the variety and how they are prepared.
Generally, the more you cook something, the more sweet, less acidic, and more umami it becomes. Up to a point. Overcook and food becomes bitter, bland, compost.
The rest is smell. Your nose carries subtleties of taste your mouth can't detect. Warm food often tastes better because the aroma is unleashed (also the sugars). To master flavor, smell your food. Smell your spices. Smell your ingredients. Flavor is the interface between food and human. The only tool you have is your senses.
There are almost two separate schools of thought on this. One is using seasonings and sauces to enhance and balance the flavor of the original ingredients, but that the original ingredients are still the primary flavor of the dish. The other is using seasonings and sauces, to create an end result where the original ingredients are no more than a few notes in the symphony.
In my opinion, correctly seasoned simply means that it tastes good to the people eating the dish. The hard part is that it seems to vary a bit by person. What tastes properly spicy to one person is too hot for another. Same thing with sweet, sour, and bitter. This matters most when you are creating dishes that push the envelope in any direction (hot salsas, sweet sodas, strong lemonade, dark chocolate).
@Ben: After you scoop up some of the food with a spoon, have a clean place on the counter to set it down for a minute before tasting. Don't stir with the spoon before tasting, because the longer the spoon is in there, the hotter it will be.
I think the two answers above are very good, but this is my technique. Start with salt and pepper (sea salt, course and freshly ground black or mixed pepper). Use these sparingly, until you get the hang of it. Once you find yourself saying, "geez, I wish the food had "_" flavor," look for the spice/ingredient/seasoning you need. Learn it and stick with that one flavor until you have the hang of it. Then repeat this process until your repertoire is built and a nice size.
The biggest mistake I have seen with flavors is people try to use too much and they end up ruining food because they don't know how to use the spices/seasoning. I still use way less than most skilled cooks I know and my food tastes great and is full of flavor. I think I have adopted the idea of mastering fewer rather than knowing more less... Trying to use a whole bunch of seasonings all at once, I have found, is much more difficult than taking one flavor at a time and learning it well.
If you want a less subjective answer (and you're an anal, scientific, overly careful cook like I am), you can do a pretty good job seasoning your food simply by measuring its weight. From the book Ideas in Food:

Boyd Vitachem 4oz - Freshwater
Boyd Vita-Chem Fresh
A complete vitamin supplement with natural lipids and aminos. It`s great for fin regeneration & preventing lateral line disease. Highest amount of active vitamin C available. 4oz.
Vita-chem for fresh water fish and Vita-chem for marine fish is an extraordinary new fish vitamin introduced by Boyd Enterprises, Inc., manufacturers of the world famous Chemi-pure.
All other fish vitamins on the market use a timeworm approach, adapt an already existing product such as vitamin bases available to the Veterinary profession and put a fish product label on them. This method works to a degree, but to a nominal extent. The aquatic and marine animals and fishes require specialized naturally occurring substances and chemicals and amino acids and lipids to be effectively utilized by their specialized bodily processes.
Vita-chem marine and Vita-chem fresh is a totally new concept in aquatic and marine vitamin formulation and methodology that is - give the animals and fishes exactly what they are missing from their natural habitat and environment in a compact concentrated and easily assimilated solution compatible with their individually specialized systems and environments.
After many years of research by the noted marine life researcher, Mr. John Nobles, in conjunction with Boyd Enterprises, Inc. and a hi tech think tank composed of numerous marine and aquatic biologists and at least ten years of experimentation with thousands of specimens under actual hobbyist conditions - Boyd Enterprises, Inc. is marketing the most effective concentrated environmental vitamin ever to be offered to the aquarium trade. Actually reverses and cures Lateral Line Disease (which is not actually a disease, but an ecologically induced condition).
Can I use the freshwater formula in my saltwater tank, and vice versa?
Yes, you can use either formula in another tank without any harm to it. However for the optimum benefits you should use the proper formula for your aquarium.
Will Vita-chem be removed by the carbon in my tank?
No, you do not have to worry about Vita-chem being removed from your tank before your fish benefit from it?
Will my invertebrates or other plants benefit from the vitamin?
Yes, any living organism in the aquarium will benefit from the vitamin, as it is tissue soluble.

Boyd Enterprises Aquarium Supplies
Boyd Enterprises was founded in 1962 by Dick Boyd, who had been working in aquarium stores since 1947 at the age of 17. He had a love and passion for building and maintaining aquariums as a hobby. Through his constant experimentation to create his own filtration techniques, he developed the world renowned Chemi-pure - the original ion filter medium. In 1955, Dick Boyd along with three others founded the first Marine Aquarium Society in the United States. In 1972, he and his wife Linda, moved into a house large enough so he could build his dream aquarium. It took two years, but by 1974 Mr. Boyd had constructed a 3,000 gallon aquarium that was home to various corals, fish and invertebrates. Boyd Enterprises strives to keep up Dick's level of Excellence, quality and customer service.

Love the stuff
2/17/2012 from RENO, NV UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
I used it mixed with food for my Peacock bass (cichla) to get rid of Hole in head and it worked like magic. I still use it every feeding to prevent and never had a problem. Colors up the fish and they look very healthy.

Newer Vita-Chem not so good.
Below Average
5/12/2011 from GALT, CA UNITED STATES
Experience Level:
For the record, I used this product for many years from about '94 to '99 and I loved it. My fish always colored up a lot whenever I put it in the water.However, this stuff is NOT the same product. they have added omega-3 fatty acids which clump up and make little particles float around your tank for about 3 or 4 days. I remember the old stuff I used to use as being mostly transparent and red in color. The new stuff is a thick yellow mucky substance.In its defense, my rasboras did really color up after eating a lot of the particles. Boyd needs to put this in a fish food and give us the old Vita-Chem back or at least start making the old version as well as the new stuff. Kudos to Customer Service though for sending me a new bottle after the first one arrived with a broken seal. They sent it out with no questions asked and in the most bullet proof packing I have ever seen. Boyd's products are always great and I recomend them even if it's one I haven't tried but, I won't be getting this stuff again; it's just too messy.

Is this recurrence $O(n^2)$?
$$ \begin{cases} T(1) = a\\ T(n+1) = T(n) + \log_2(n), n\geq 1 \\ \end{cases} $$
I try to solve it like this:
$T(n+1) = T(n) + \log_2(n), n \geq 1 $
$T(n+1) - T(n) = \log_2(n), n \geq 1 $
$(E-1)t = \log_2(n)$
$(E-1)(E-1)^2t = 0$
$(E-1)^3t = 0$
So the three roots are equal to $1$ and the non-recurrent form is:
$T(n) = \alpha + \beta n + \gamma n^2 $
I can solve the coeficients in terms of $a$ but don't think it's necessary given the $\gamma n^2$ is obviously $O(n^2)$.
But I'm not sure about my solution. Why? Well because on ($4$) I use the $(E-1)^2$ annihilator which I know is proper for $n$ but not sure if its proper also for $\log_2(n)$
So is my solution correct?

Each one of us has some difficulties and obstacles draw him/her to this site. I know I do, and I believe most of them are caused by addictive behaviours (sleeping, browsing, playing, etc.)
There are also endless number of good advices, and it is totally possible to bring a profound change into your everyday life in just a few hours, or even a few minutes, if you get the right advices. But as days and weeks goes by, another profound change occurs - you get back to your old habits. You lose focus one moment and then wake up weeks or months later, realizing the amount of time you've spent living like you don't want to.
What's the way to avoid the powerful traction of your old habits?
How is it possible to take some healthy habits, like these ones, and adapt them in a radical, long term, life-changing way?

The Hagel Democrats
Despite their doubts, Senators walk in lock-step with Obama.
Per the Constitution, a President appoints cabinet members "by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate." In the matter of Chuck Hagel's move to the Pentagon, the Senate's Democratic majority is more or less waiving this clause and rolling over to President Obama's wishes.
It's not that Democrats don't have serious doubts about the former Republican Senator's record and qualifications. Senate Armed Services Chairman Carl Levin started last month's nomination hearing by enumerating them, from Mr. Hagel's long-standing opposition to sanctions on Iran to his warnings about the influence of a "Jewish lobby."
The hearing itself was a debacle without recent precedent. Obama senior campaign aide Robert Gibbs called the nominee "unimpressive and unprepared." Under the headline "Whose Terrible Idea Was It to Nominate Hagel, Anyway?", a normally pliant Obama loyalist at New York magazine blamed this "fiasco" on a "small cadre of intellectuals eager to shift the foreign-policy debate in general, and the Democratic Party's foreign-policy thinking in particular, to the left."
None of this seems to sway Senate Democrats. After the President nominated Mr. Hagel, Chuck Schumer—who calls himself the Senate's "guardian of Israel"—raised what he called "genuine concerns." Within days and before the hearing, Mr. Schumer emerged from a meeting with Mr. Hagel to declare himself unconcerned and a yes vote.
After the hearing, Missouri's Claire McCaskill offered this excuse: "Chuck Hagel is much more comfortable asking questions than answering them. That's one bad habit you get into when you've been in the Senate—you can dish it out but sometimes it's a little more difficult to take it." Now, there's an endorsement for someone taking a job to command generals.
The last-ditch rationalization is that a President deserves the advisers he picks. "Well, this is President Obama's choice," said Maryland's Ben Cardin. "It's not who I would prefer to see as secretary of defense." That isn't what Senators Joe Biden or John Kerry said when they filibustered John Bolton's nomination to be Ambassador to the U.N. in 2005.
Republicans are so far signaling that they won't filibuster Mr. Hagel, which speaks well of their confirmation consistency even with a Democrat in the White House. But Senators of either party still owe voters their independent judgment on an up or down vote. Advice and consent isn't supposed to mean partisan deference to the White House, especially when a nominee looks as unprepared as Mr. Hagel does.
It's clear that Mr. Obama chose Mr. Hagel not because he wants a strong and knowledgeable adviser but because he wants a cipher who will take orders from the White House. Mr. Hagel all but admitted this at last month's hearing when West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin noted that "you're going to be basically following policy, not making policy." Mr. Hagel replied, "I won't be in a policy-making position."
So at a time of global turmoil and growing White House pressure to gut defense, the Pentagon gets a potted plant. Imagine Don Rumsfeld or Henry Kissinger declaring that they took a policy job in which they could not make policy. Mr. Hagel is unlikely to be an effective public spokesman and he lacks the knowledge to wrestle intelligently with the Pentagon's many competing interests.
Americans deserve better than a secretary of defense who merely takes orders from political aides like Valerie Jarrett. Senate Democrats should understand that in voting to confirm Mr. Hagel despite their misgivings and despite his clear lack of qualifications, they'll share the responsibility if his tenure becomes embarrassing.

Microsoft Campus Agreement
Beginning Fall 1998, the University of Texas System has participated with Microsoft Corporation through the Microsoft Campus Agreement (MSCA). The MSCA provides students, faculty, and staff access to Microsoft's popular computer software, including operating systems and desktop productivity tools.
Through the MSCA contract, every student, faculty member, and staff employee in the University of Texas System will have access to the latest versions of this important suite of software for use both on campus and at home.
We believe this will give the UT System a competitive advantage in recruiting and retaining students, as the software tools they most often need (and usually buy on their own) will now be available to them, at no additional cost, by attending UT System schools.
The most popular desktop packages from Microsoft are included for PC and Macintosh platforms as well as for use by thin clients.
Cost and Eligibility
The licensing (right-to-use) for the software products covered under this agreement are available at no additional cost to users who are eligible. Please note, license fees do not include installation media. If an eligible user wishes to extend their use from campus to home, they must purchase the installation media separately.
Computers owned by UT
All computers that are owned by institutions in The University of Texas System are covered by the Microsoft Campus Agreement. Departmental staff may install covered products for use for the duration of the agreement.
Computers owned by Students
Students have the option of using the software for free on campus or they may purchase a copy of the media for use on a personally owned machine.
Students are eligible provided they are currently enrolled in a degree-granting program at institutions in The University of Texas System. Correspondence and Long-Distance students are not eligible under the MSCA unless they are also officially admitted to a UT System institution.
Students are permitted to run covered products on one personally-owned machine for use for the duration of the agreement. The one exception to this is Office which can be installed on one desktop computer and one portable computer for your exclusive use.
