Comments about 'Foreign adoptions by Americans decline sharply, partially due to Russian ban'

Its only logical that the Untied States should also ban the international adoption by amreicans, its nothing more than human trafficking and criminal abduction of children by host countries. These babies and children don't deserve this kind of treatment from american arrogance calling abduction as adoptions. These children deserve the heritage of their families and country, Americans are criminals in these cases and its criminla that our government is slowing this human trafficking across borders.

This should be good news for any child that is waiting to be adopted here in the U.S.

The reality is that there are more than enough children available for adoption right here in the US. The problem? Too many parents have their hearts set on adopting a healthy white male infant. Meanwhile, there are special needs children, minority children, older children, and siblings who need to be adopted together, all being funneled through foster care homes because no one wants them. They're often bounced from home to home, growing up with no permanent ties or relationships, eventually being dropped from the system when they turn eighteen, never finding a family of their own. Granted, it may not be as easy to raise these children, but does that mean they're less deserving of a family than children from other countries? If it's really, "all about the children", then look at children in need of adoption right here in this country.

As sad as it is for those children abroad, what about the thousands here in our country? Get rid of the red tape and the exorbitant amount of money is costs to adopt. Isn't this a different kind of human trafficking and the highest bidder gets the prize? And the fact that there are organizations that refuse to allow interracial adoptions is a hollow argument and rings flat. Again, get rid of the excessive red tape and clean up social services that are run by government agencies.

There are only so many ways you can tell the story of 'boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl'. Even though it's the basis for a subplot in almost every movie, it's rare you see anything fresh in a romance story. In What If, we're presented with versions of romantic comedy characters we've seen in the past.
Daniel Radcliffe is a sensitive and broken young man, still recovering from his last relationship. His best mate is a Vince Vaughn-type who's there to lighten the mood and allow Radcliffe to articulate his thoughts out loud. He meets a beautiful, creative woman at a party (Zoe Kazan) with whom he strikes up an immediate rapport, of course. The only problem is that she's in a committed relationship with her live-in boyfriend (Rafe Spall). And because we're dealing in stock rom-com archetypes here, the boyfriend must be a bit of a dick.
But despite the fact that that there's little originality in this movie, it still has a lot of charm. 'What If' is the kind of rom-com that they don't really make anymore: it does try to say something about romantic relationships, albeit something that When Harry Met Sally said perfectly over 20 years ago.
It's also peculiar to finally see a movie set in Toronto. While an unbelievable amount of movies and television gets made there, it's usually doubling for New York or some other metropolis with less generous tax incentives. But given an opportunity to show off it's more distinctive corners, the Canadian city turns out to be a picturesque backdrop that's the perfect setting for a romance.
Zoe Kazan is a wonderful screen presence, and it's not hard to see why Radcliffe's character can't bear being just friends with her. And although his role is underwritten, Girls star Adam Driver does a lot with his sidekick role, making an exposition role sufficiently quirky.
The main problem with this movie is actually its star attraction: Daniel Radcliffe.
Since wrapping up Harry Potter, Radcliffe has only made good choices. He's appeared on Broadway both in a play and a musical; he starred in a Hammer-pedigree ghost story with The Woman in Black; and now he's making an off-beat independent Canadian film. These are all smart projects for an actor with an eye on prolonging his career but his lack of formal training always manages to shine through. He garbles his densely-written dialogue and his reactions lack subtlety in a big way. We just can't see beyond Radcliffe's 'acting', something that's pretty deadly for the leading man of any film.
But despite our reservations, What If is the kind of earnest romantic comedy we rarely get to see these days. It doesn't break the mould in anyway, but it's also refreshingly short on the irony that defines most modern comedies. It's a solid date night film.
'What If' is in cinemas Wednesday 20 August

love mornings and morning walks; fascinated by the colors at sunrise and sunset; looking at clouds makes me happy and dreamy; orange is my favourite colour; i like organised behaviour and a systematic way of work; tea without milk and a hint of sugar is an elixir! enjoy reading books because a good read keeps growing within us, giving us fresh perspectives from time to time; same goes for some great movies; classic rock & rhythm 'n' blues are good friends; love to cook and eat (and stay thin!)
perfection in knowledge base in my chosen field is what i aspire for and if it calls for prolonged sessions, packed with dedication towards studies, i'd say - "bring it on!"

Trending Topics:
The language of the Bible haunts the latest documentary by Ken Burns. There are descriptions of "plagues" that sound like the book of Exodus. At one point, a camera zooms in on an old newspaper bearing a citation from Ezekiel. At another, a solemn voice-over, reading from the work of a long-ago journalist, alludes to Hosea 8:7—"They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind."
No, Burns is not giving us his take on the Old Testament. His new documentary is The Dust Bowl, airing in two two-hour installments on November 18 and 19, at 8 p.m. (check local listings). A fascinating but sobering account of an environmental cataclysm that transformed the Great Plains into a kind of malevolent Sahara, The Dust Bowl shows people caught in a climate shift so destructive and terrifying it seemed a sign of divine wrath—possibly even a harbinger of apocalypse.
Today, many of us would view the phenomenon through a different lens. As the film explains through voiceover narrative, seamlessly interwoven with scholarly interviews and bracing testimony from Dust Bowl survivors, the ecological disaster on America's prairies in the...

In situ synthesis of A3-type star polymer/clay nanocomposites by atom transfer radical polymerization
A series of A3-type star poly(methylmethacrylate)/clay nanocomposites is prepared by in situ atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiated from organomodified montmorillonite containing quaternary trifunctional ATRP initiator. The first order kinetic plot shows a linear behavior, indicating the controlled character of the polymerization. The resulting nanocomposites are characterized by spectroscopic (XRD), thermal (DSC and TGA), and microscopic (TEM) analyses. The exfoliated nanocomposite has been obtained when polymerization was conducted with 1% of organic clay loading. Thermal analyses show that all nanocomposites have higher glass transition values and thermal stabilities compared to neat polymer. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym. Chem. 2013, 51, 5257–5262

To the Editor.—The article by Zulick et al1 in the November 1991 issue of the Archives contained several erroneous assumptions and methodologic ambiguities that are of concern. First, the authors misrepresented the character and composition of hospitals contributing data to the Major Trauma Outcome Study (MTOS). These hospitals are not all "large, urban, level 1, state-of-the-art" trauma centers as stated. In actuality, the hospitals contributing data to the MTOS were predominantly "self-proclaimed" trauma centers. Few had verification by the American College of Surgeons or official designation by a state or regional agency. Among those participating, 64 hospitals were reported to be level 1, 40 were level 2, 11 were level 3, 17 were children's specialty centers, and there were seven hospitals whose level was not identified (some from the United Kingdom and Australia).2 The data were not stratified by hospital size, level, or geographic location.

Five arrested over potential Pope attack
By Ian Dunt
Five men have been arrested over a suspected attempt to attack the Pope during his state visit to the UK.
The men, all street cleaners, were arrested at 05:45 BST this morning while preparing to start work for Veolia Environment Services, a company which does contracted-out cleaning work for Westminster City Council.
They have been arrested on suspicion of commissioning, preparing or instigating of acts of terrorism. The men are between the ages of 26 and 50.

Arrangements for the Pope's visit are under review but the Met believes the current policing plan remains appropriate.
It is still not clear how far the arrests relate to the Pope's visit to the UK.
There are few details available at present, but the police said the arrests were the result of "information received".
The arrest was part of an armed operation, but no shots were fired.
Searches are being carried out in the premises and in residential premises in north and east London.
A spokesperson for the Pope said he was calm.

For an Actor, Envy and Insecurity Don't Require Much Acting
In the new play "Seminar," Hamish Linklater portrays an aspiring novelist consumed by insecurity and envy. The actor said in some ways, the part wasn't much of a stretch.
"That jealousy, you can certainly relate to that as an actor," he said. "In my ideal world there would be 99% unemployment for actors, and I would be the 1% that's employed. I hear about somebody getting a job at Starbucks and I get jealous."
Mr. Linklater has been in the business long enough to know the fragility of the artist's ego. After dropping out of Amherst College, he moved to New York as a 19-year-old to pursue acting and now, at 35, is making his Broadway debut in the comedy by Theresa Rebeck opening Nov. 20.
In the play, Alan Rickman portrays a brilliant writer and towering windbag whose criticisms can curdle the dreams of even the most optimistic young novelists. Among the students in his seminar is Mr. Linklater's Martin, a writer who is afraid to show anyone his work or accept his teacher's coaching.
Offstage, in a bit of unintentional method acting, Mr. Linklater sought Mr. Rickman's advice on his own writing: He showed him a play he'd written called "The Vandal," which just had a reading in New York. Mr. Rickman diligently marked up the script. "He's like, 'You're a born writer,' and I start crying," Mr. Linklater recalled. "And then he's like, 'But this part, I think you become a bit of a television writer here,' and I'm quickly humbled."
Mr. Linklater could also relate to the material in "Seminar" as the only child of voice and Shakespeare teacher Kristin Linklater, who co-founded the Berkshires-based theater Shakespeare & Company and is, like Mr. Rickman's character, known as a guru in her field. He began appearing in the company's shows at age 3, when fairies snatched him from the audience and put him on stage as the changeling child in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." He was later incorporated into some of Shakespeare's tragedies. "Cleopatra suddenly had a child that wore tighty whities," he said. "It was cheaper than babysitting."
Mr. Linklater said that, like his "Seminar" character, he has an aversion to teachers. It started when he was a teenager and his mother tried to give him vocal tips. "It was my own private rebellion," he said.
Mr. Linklater spent four years playing the deadpan brother of Julia Louis-Dreyfus on the TV sitcom "The New Adventures of Old Christine." On film, his roles include a part in "Fantastic Four" and a leading role in Miranda July's "The Future."
Last year, he drew notice for his performance in "The Merchant of Venice" with Al Pacino in the Public Theater stage production in New York's Central Park. Asked to share a dressing room with Mr. Pacino, at first Mr. Linklater balked, worried he'd be so terrified of the star it would ruin his summer, but he later agreed to the idea. Mr. Pacino kept the room like a sauna, sometimes hanging his head low before shows. "He would just be like, 'I don't know how I'm gonna do it tonight, kid,'" Mr. Linklater recalled, adding that the actor would then amaze him with a full-blooded performance.
When the play later moved to Broadway, Mr. Linklater didn't go with it, instead taking a part in "Battleship," a big-budget movie version of the board game directed by Peter Berg, known for the films "Friday Night Lights" and "Hancock." Shooting a disaster movie with Mr. Berg was exciting, Mr. Linklater said, with the director rolling four cameras nonstop, making up new lines on the spot and screaming instructions to the actors like, "Say it again! No, say it more kick-ass!"
In the film, set to come out next year, Mr. Linklater plays a bearded deep-space nerd with big hair. Mr. Linklater said he didn't do much scientific research for the role: "I have no knowledge whatsoever of what I was actually talking about."

This reminded me of meatloaf.... but much better because there's no breadcrumbs or eggs. The tomatoey beef mounds were awesome on the mahed potatoes and covered in that cheese sauce. I used cheddar cheese for the sauce. Loved it. Thanx!

Many tasks in computer vision involve assigning a label (such as disparity) to every pixel. A common constraint is that the labels should vary smoothly almost everywhere while preserving sharp discontinuities that may exist, e.g., at object boundaries. These tasks are naturally stated in terms of energy minimization. The authors consider a wide class of energies with various smoothness constraints. Global minimization of these energy functions is NP-hard even in the simplest discontinuity-preserving case. Therefore, our focus is on efficient approximation algorithms. We present two algorithms based on graph cuts that efficiently find a local minimum with respect to two types of large moves, namely expansion moves and swap moves. These moves can simultaneously change the labels of arbitrarily large sets of pixels. In contrast, many standard algorithms (including simulated annealing) use small moves where only one pixel changes its label at a time. Our expansion algorithm finds a labeling within a known factor of the global minimum, while our swap algorithm handles more general energy functions. Both of these algorithms allow important cases of discontinuity preserving energies. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach for image restoration, stereo and motion. On real data with ground truth, we achieve 98 percent accuracy

IETF PKIX Working Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article is outdated. (July 2015)
The PKIX (Public-Key Infrastructure X.509) Working Group (PKIX-WG) was assigned — by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) — to develop the necessary Internet standards needed to support a Public Key Infrastructure, based on the X.509 protocol. The working group (WG) was established circa fall of 1995. The working group was concluded in October 2013.[1]
Scope and Standards[edit]
Although the PKIX-WG has accomplished its initial assignment, it was never dissolved — as is commonplace with WGs which exceed their initial scope of work.
Presently, the PKIX-WG profiles PKI standards of the International Telecommunication Union, and develops new standards apropos to the use of X.509-based PKIs with the Internet:
- Profiled X.509 version 3 certificates and version 2 Certificate Revocation Lists (CRL) for use with the Internet (RFC 2459)
- The Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Qualified Certificates Profile (RFC 3039)
- The Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Certificate Policy and certification Practices Framework (RFC 2527 — Informational)
- Profiles for the use of Attribute Certificates (RFC [undetermined])
- LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) v2 for certificate and CRL storage (RFC 2587)

All Rise...
Judge Jason Panella also has a killer jawline.
The Charge
There are all kinds of killings. The best is American style.
The Case
Killing American Style is straight-up Z-grade trash, which means it's fairly amazing. This isn't in the same league as the top-tier nonsense of Psycho Kickboxer or Andy Sidaris's movies. Writer/director Amir Shervan's crown jewel Samurai Cop is also perfect in this way: it's so bad yet so good. Shervan's Killing American Style fails to live up to its predecessor's reputation, but there's enough idiotic fun here that you can overlook the sheer badness on hand.
Walking jawline Robert D'Zar (Maniac Cop) plays Tony Stone, a tough criminal with questionable recruitment criteria for his henchmen. After he and his goons pull off a heist at a surprisingly well-guarded ice cream truck depot, they're caught by Lt. Sunset (Jim Brown, The Dirty Dozen) and shipped off to the slammer. En route, Stone's brother—disguised as the most unconvincing woman ever—springs the gang and gets gut-shot for his efforts. In search of medical help, the bad guys invade the home of all-American badass John Morgan (kickboxer Harold Diamond, Hard Ticket to Hawaii). Morgan plays along with the criminals to save his family, but an all-American badass can only take so much before deciding to kill…American style.
After his exile from Iran, Shervan relocated to California and made five ultra-low budget action flicks. Two—Hollywood Cop and Samurai Cop—gained a cult following since their late-'80s release. For good reason, too; there's enough quality ineptness to fill a dozen lesser grade-Z flicks. Shervan made three other movies (Young Rebels, Gypsy, and Killing American Style) that have become rare, sought-after artifacts for trash cinema aficionados. Thanks to Cinema Epoch, these three films—starting with this one—are getting a DVD release.
Good thing. Let's look at all of the awesomeness you get with Killing American Style.
• Unintelligible Fight Scenes—There's a lot of killing (American style) in this movie, and most of it makes no sense. John Morgan beats a lot of people up; I'm guessing he's a wizard of some kind, though, since his hands and feet never seem to actually come close to bad dudes' faces. We get to see that Morgan is human, though, because he takes some lumps…and makes a high-pitched noise that sounds like a kid suffering from a stomach virus. You don't just get fisticuffs—there are plenty of gunfights in Killing American Style, most of them involving people popping out from cover and blasting away. (The victor is the one who can pop out and blast away last.) This sounds like typical crap action movie fare, sure, but the fight scenes are filmed with no clarity whatsoever. Which, of course, is wonderful.
• Script, Acting, Direction—When people aren't getting pummeled by sweet kickboxing moves, they're talking to each other. Or rather at each other. Most of the scenes in Killing American Style feel like they were written by someone who has never interacted with human beings before. Shervan also recycles tons of filming locations and brain-scorching dialogue from his previous movies ("Keep it warm, baby"), and the parade of one-liners land like wet washcloth. Most of the cast struggles to remember lines and, when they do, deliver them like they're halfheartedly giving a report in middle school. Jim Brown, the sole big name in the cast, seems consistently confused, which ends up yielding some comedy gold when his character visits a brothel to dig up some information on the escaped criminals.
To add to this, Shervan piles on one awkward direction choice after another. The camera lingers on the cast much longer than needed, resulting in lots of people standing around looking at each other for several excruciating seconds before a cut. He also likes to include reaction shots in the middle of exchanges of dialogue. So while Tony Stone is threatening people, the camera focuses on his goofy Gomer Pyle face-making sidekick.
• John Morgan: Badass Dad—John Morgan is a great dad. He takes his son to kickboxing practice and, after the son is bullied by another kid, proceeds to beat that kid's father into an unconscious sack of meat. John Morgan: awesome dad! Said father looks like a roadie for Mr. Mister, which is a bonus.
• Robert D'Zar—The man with the jaw is easily the best thing about this movie, and maybe the sole person in the cast who looks like he's having a good time. He screams most of his lines, and takes his shirt off as often as possible. After an uncomfortable love scene, Tony Stone's got the moxie to shoot at tons of cops while bellowing "What do you want from me?" Good question, Tony.
• All The Little Things—The Japanese Dr. Fuji, who is played by an actor who is definitely not Japanese. A motel named Motel. John Morgan's gaudy outfits, which look like they were stolen from Cher's tour bus. The sheer stupidity of Tony Stone's hoodlum crew. The "sexy auntie." The non-stop keytar solo of a score. And the list goes on and on.
So why isn't this the finest, most pure nugget of cinematic gold? The middle stretch of Killing American Style is dull beyond belief, and the unintentional humor in that section isn't enough to keep it interesting (something I doubt any amount of alcohol will fix, either). At about 100 minutes, the movie is way too long—if Shervan could've cut out one of the awful car chases and some of the repetitive home invasion scenes, it would've helped the movie immensely (regardless of how seriously you take the material). There's also a bit of misogyny in this stretch that goes too far. Look, I realize that gender equality was pretty lopsided in action movies from that era—I can recognize that and still love the cheese. Still, the scene in question here is one bit of nastiness too many. It doesn't ruin the movie for me, by any means, but it does take it down a notch.
Cinema Epoch does a nice job cleaning Killing American Style up for release. The 1.78:1 anamorphic transfer looks good overall, though there are a few parts where the master's poor quality seeps through—there are a few brief moments that look like the screen is on fire. I wish I could say it was with awesomeness, but it's just a result of print damage. Still, Epoch did a great job of making this look good. The Dolby Digital 2.0 stereo track is pretty solid, too, especially when the synth score starts to smother you. For extras, there's an ultra-long slide show of other Epoch titles, and a 20-minute interview with actor Alex Virdon (who plays Stone's gut-shot brother) that touches on the magic of Shervan and his films (it's worth noting that the last few minutes of the interview are really just a computer-animated short made by Virdon. Watch at your own risk).
While Killing American Style isn't top-shelf cinematic scuz, it's pretty close. Dig in.

Not guilty, American style.

Tim and I are still enough of newlyweds to regularly look at each other and say, Can you believe we're married? Remember what it was like when we weren't? and, on days like this last Saturday, where we went to a flea market we've been hearing about since before I moved to Nashville, Remember back then? Back when we didn't even live in the same state? Sometimes I can't even believe we used to just talk on the phone every night, with Tim in Tennessee and me in Chicago. The days of driving eight hours to spend time with him seem like such a long time ago, back when I'd stay a few days and we'd go to Las Paletas and Sevier Park and bake things like pear custard pie at his house. But I've been living in Nashville for ten and a half months. Ten and a half months! It's not home in the same way the Chicago suburbs are---we still visit my family and everything feels so familiar and normal that it's like where I belong---but yet it is home, too.

Brown Butter Cranberry Hazelnut Tart + Chocolate Tart
I never thought much about what our first Christmas would be like---which is funny because, for a classic overthinker like me, it's rare not to think about something. Maybe it was because of how big October seemed and how faraway December felt. The first week, we bought a six-foot Fraser fir, purchased from a giant red-and-white tent outside Home Depot, a tree that smells like the forest and sheds needles every day. We stowed it in the back of Tim's car, alongside a poinsettia and a fresh wreath from Aldi, and put it in our living room, inside a plastic stand Tim hadn't used for four years and topped by white bulb lights I'd hung at that blog birthday party I had in 2009. We hung a homemade advent calendar (inspiration: summer harms) on our dining room window, made of leftover wedding kraft envelopes and filled with holiday activities each of us wrote on slips of paper, mixed together and inserted randomly. The first day was kisses every hour; the second was a … [Read more...]

Department of Ecology News Release - October 15, 2012
OLYMPIA – The public is invited to review and comment on a draft agreement for cleaning up the Kimberly-Clark mill site in Everett. A public meeting is scheduled for Oct. 29, 2012, in Everett.
The proposed cleanup focuses on 56 upland acres at the Kimberly-Clark Worldwide site at 2600 Federal Ave. The public can submit comments to the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) from Oct. 15 to Nov. 14 on these draft documents:
The site was first developed in the 1800s and early 1900s. It was used primarily for pulp and paper manufacturing from 1931 to 2012. The mill shut down in April 2012; it is now being demolished.
While the mill operated, it produced bleached sulfite pulp and tissue products such as paper towels, toilet paper, napkins, and industrial wipers (a heavier type of paper towel). Kimberly-Clark Worldwide acquired the facility in 1995 when it merged with Scott Paper Co.
Other past uses at the site included sawmill operations and bulk petroleum storage operations for several oil companies.
Historical sampling in the site uplands found mostly petroleum and metals contamination in soil and groundwater.
Here's where you can review the draft documents:
The Kimberly-Clark site has been added to Ecology's Port Gardner Bay cleanup sites under the Puget Sound Initiative. That's an effort by local, tribal, state, and federal governments; business, agricultural and environmental communities; scientists and the public to restore and protect the health of the Sound.
Ecology identified Port Gardner Bay as a high-priority, "early-action" cleanup area under the initiative. An Ecology team is managing or assisting the cleanup of 11 Port Gardner sites by working with the Port of Everett, Kimberly-Clark, other site owners, area tribes, and others to help shape the cleanups.

The String class has a method called lastIndexOf. Try and see if that makes your parsing easier. :)
You should start by creating a class called Employee. :) Try googling first to see what a constructor is and how it can be used to initialize your variables. Your test class is relatively simple....
Try reviewing your code to see what it's doing. For example, this method populates the entire array with the same Animal class. You'll need to write a few more lines of code to get the first index in...
package Account;
// Inputting and outputting floating-point numbers with Account objects.
import java.util.Scanner;
public class AccountTest {
public static void main(String args[]) {...
Wouldn't it be enough to prompt the user that they're making either a deposit or a withdrawal? For example:
1. Prompt to deposit to Account 1
2. Prompt to deposit to Account 2
3. Prompt to...
The error was caused by spaces in my workspace location. I moved my workspace from C:\Documents and Settings\...\workspace to C:\workspace and the index.jsp location is now working fine. But now,...
public void debit(double amount) {
if (_balance < 0 || _balance < amount)
System.out.println("Amount withdrawn is greater than current balance");
_balance -= amount;
Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I'm getting a 404 response, and yes, I've just tried your URL and the same thing happens. I'm just wondering why accessing the servlet works but not the JSP.
Hi, I'm trying to create a web application with a servlet but I couldn't get it to load to index.jsp. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I'm pretty sure I already have the correct directory...

What does Spoil Yourself Silly on a Shoestring mean? It is the title of a chapter of the book I'm reading.

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Why not translate it part by part:
From Oxford Advanced American Dictionary:
silly in such contexts means so much.
The sentence means make yourself happy by using very little money many times, don't use all of your money at once.
To spoil yourself is to treat yourself, like a parent who buys too many toys and sweets for a child.
Silly here means to do it excessively, the idea being you would do it until it makes you silly.
On a shoestring means on a meagre budget.
So the whole thing means "Treat yourself excessively on a budget".

11pm: Fire out at Louisville Middle School
Louisville Middle School was evacuated after a lightning strike caught the roof on fire, authorities say.
LuckyOne: Clinton and Obama ran in 2008 blaming the GOP for $4 Trillion deficits. Then they added another $10 Trillion, doubled the national debt, and not one word about the debt. I guess not discussing it means it was cured, kind of like how homelessness is never a problem when there is a Democrat in the White House. They ran against Bush because he overthrew Iraq. Then they did the same thing to Egypt and Libya. They didn't learn from Bush's error? No. And Egypt and Libya were both ALLIES against terrorism (Libya from 2004). Egypt's military saw too many burning churches and murdered Christians, so they staged a coup, and Hillary's first statement was to vilify them for overturning the will of the people. Libya has become an ISIS oil well. Hillary used to brag about her Libya and Egypt achievements. Seems to have stopped just after the Benghazi attack. Hillary has only one major success that demonstrates her ability to think ahead. She ran an influence peddling operation out of the state department. Made hundreds of millions of dollars for the Clinton Global Slush Fund. She realized her emails would be subject to Freedom of Information requests. So she put ALL of her emails on a private home-brew server in her basement to make sure no Republican could see them. Top Secret information was compromised, and the GOP dragged the FBI and Justice Dept screaming and kicking to look into the compromise. Then someone hacked the DNC and within 48 hours, the FBI are all over it.

I am glad to see the contact form addition to JetPack. Great Job!
What I would like to know is:
- Where does the contact form pull its "Placeholder Text" from?
- How does one change it?
Take a look at http://bamajr.com/contact-bamajr/
I have separate First-Name and Last-Name fields. I would like to be able to give First-Name/Last-Name examples (Placeholders). Instead it is putting my username in both fields, even when I'm not logged into WordPress.

This was tasty, and a great way to use up a large cantaloupe that needed some help. I think it would be especially tasty with 3 Tbs of midori melon liquor added, but I wanted my small kids to eat this so I didn't add any.
The perfect light summer dessert! I'm not the biggest fan of cantaloupe, but this recipe was wonderful. I added some strawberries as well to make it more to my liking. One of my favorites now.
Yummy! I didn't have lemon juice, so I used lime juice instead. It was really refreshing and was perfect in my brand new ice cream maker. Thanks!
I've made this with watermelon also. I don't use so much sugar but is great for a fresh, healthy treat in the winter.
I used a perfectly ripe cantaloupe and didn't need to add any of the sugar. The lemon made it SUPER sweet but added a nice extra dimension to the taste. I resisted the temptation to add a splash of Midori THIS time, but next time, a little nip of the sauce for sure!
Oh, this was just heavenly. A perfect light dessert, flavors and aroma were very pleasing. Recipe was made as directed this time, will be making again this weekend, but trying peaches. I think I'll be using this one a lot. Yummy, but so much better for you than ice cream. And much less expensive to make than ice cream too! :)

Arizona could be a hub of energy-sector jobs, with factories making equipment for the industry and power plants shipping electricity to neighboring states via new power lines, all contributing to a better economy.
That is the vision put forth by a group of energy interests that have released a "road map" they hope will help Arizona capitalize on its energy strengths and build the state's economy.
The Arizona Energy Consortium is a spinoff from the Arizona Technology Council. Its members include law firms, utility companies and energy businesses. It does not list all of its members but claims more than 300.
The draft document, which is intended to change over time with the industry, addresses areas such as financing for energy and permitting for projects. Improving such areas could pave the way for development in the state, officials said.
"Like any business entity trying to develop its industry, it is difficult to do without a focused plan in place," said Michelle De Blasi, a shareholder in the law firm Greenberg Traurig who helped develop the road map. "This plan came about to fill a need to have a bit more focus in the energy industry."
Chris Davey, president of solar-tower company EnviroMission, which is trying to develop a project in western Arizona, co-chairs the group with De Blasi. He said the plan will help attract financing to the state.
"It is difficult to secure capital without having that in place," he said. "Creating greater certainty around an industry puts the state or this part of the industry in a better position to attract capital. And capital is what moves these projects forward, creates jobs and creates prosperity."
The Energy Consortium is a subcommittee of the Technology Council, which charges membership dues. Any member of the Technology Council can join the consortium, and work so far on the road map has been voluntary, Davey said.
The road map is being released as interest in energy policy in Arizona is on the rise.
Gov. Jan Brewer's Office of Energy Policy is working on a state energy plan for the next decade and will begin to release information on it next year. That plan will include specific policy recommendations, said Leisa Brug, director of the office.
"It is being done so the state has a clear picture of where we need to go and where we will be in 10 years," Brug said.
She said she reviewed an early draft of the consortium's road map. "A wish list is a good way to put that," she said of the road map. "We appreciate any group's interest in helping move the state's energy development forward. We don't endorse everything in it, but there are a lot of really good things in it that I could endorse."
