Voices: Truman made right call on Korea
By Ray Nasser
As a 19-year-old when Truman announced we would enter a conflict in Korea, I had great misgivings about his decision. I strongly agreed then, as I do now, with Washington's farewell address when he warned against entangling alliances. Though we had no alliance with South Korea, our entry into the war amounted to the same. I now think Truman made the right judgment call.
It was on June 25, 1950, that the Communist North swooped down on the unprepared Republic of South Korea. Syngman Rhee was the president and had little means to repel the invaders. He had an untrained skeleton of an army with little arms or ammunition. American troops were there only to advise and train.
At the close of World War II, the United States and Russia agreed to a trusteeship to reorganize the peninsula into two governmental bodies. The United States would occupy the peninsula from the 38th parallel south and the Russians from the 38th to the North. Kim Il Sung was the communist leader of the North. The purpose of the occupation was to return Japanese POWs to their homeland and restore a governmental body. Rhee wanted to unite the peninsula as a Republic under his control, while Kim Il Sung wanted to bring the peninsula under communist rule.
The South Korean Army could not withstand the onslaught, and American troops were unprepared and ill fitted to fight. On June 27, Truman convinced the U.N. Security Council to send troops to Korea. Eventually, 16 nations took part. On June 28, the capital, Seoul, fell to the Reds. As things continued to get worse, our president ordered a naval blockade of the coast. He then sent Gen. MacArthur to Korea in an effort to stop the communist advance from taking control of the South.
The genius of MacArthur to formulate plans to attack on the west coast at Inchon Harbor paid off. The Reds were completely unprepared. Most thought it unthinkable to invade in the treacherous tides at Inchon.
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Omar Bradley, only consented to the attempt because of Mac's persuasiveness. For the Marines who first landed, it was a cakewalk. My friend, the late Marylon Palmer, said his battalion took a defending island without firing a shot. The communists simply threw up their hands.
By October 1950, the NKPA (North Korean Peoples Army) was all but defeated. Some of our troops made it all the way to the Yalu. Unknown to MacArthur, Chinese communists started crossing the Yalu and hiding in the hills in mid-October. On Oct. 25, these Reds launched an attack on ROK (Republic of Korea) troops who were taking an active part in the war. The tragic and brutal battle at the Chosin Reservoir lasted from Nov. 17 to Dec. 13 while the temperatures plunged to 30 degrees below zero. Today, survivors of that battle suffer untold agony because of extreme frostbite, resulting in neuropathy.
Over 67,000 Chinese encircled 30,000 U.S. forces in that battle. As our troops fought their way to Hungnam, it is hard to believe that they took 90,000 refugees with them. Truman ordered every vessel in the Pacific to head to Hungnam. Only a few months earlier Russia had mined the harbor. It is also amazing that our minesweepers could clear the port for the hundreds of ships coming in. Even tankers, full of oil and gasoline, took refugees on their decks to Pusan.
From this time on, our troops would be fighting mostly Chinese troops. MacArthur now had to reorganize and push to the North. However, this time Truman ordered him to stop at the 38th parallel. It now stands as the dividing line between the two Koreas.
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower was elected on the promise he would end the war. Americans were tired of war and reading reports of so many young men being killed and maimed in Korea. During the winter and spring of 1952-53 the Reds began stepping up harassing patrols and attacks. Ike took office in January of '51. Mothers, fathers and most Americans were becoming disappointed and more upset with the continuing war. Americans began putting more pressure on Eisenhower to keep his promise. Then in July of '53, more than 100,000 Chinese attacked U.N. forces to gain as much ground as they could before an armistice could be signed.
On July 15 my unit was holding a hill about a mile forward of the battle line, when the Chinese attacked at the stroke of midnight. We were outnumbered about five to one. They even came down into our trenches, and some were fighting hand to hand. On July 25 the enemy simply started withdrawing. Later I learned that Ike had ordered Gen. Clark, who was now in command of U.N. forces, to use atomic weapons if the Reds did not fall back to their original positions. It worked. Two days later on July 27 the armistice was signed.
All wars are horrifying to the grunts, dogfaces and all those who must kill or get killed. Only seven days after American troops fought their first battle at Suwon they found seven GIs bound hand and foot and shot through the head. The communists were evil then and are still evil. It was not uncommon to find our troops who were taken prisoner to be lying along a path or road with cavernous bullet holes in their heads or backs. On Aug. 14, 1950, 45 Americans were found in a ravine with their hands tied behind their backs, equipment and clothes stripped from them, and shot. A few months later, 138 Americans were found killed in the same manner near Pyongang. It was determined that Russian burp guns were used in the slaughter.
Korean War casualties were astronomical. More than 33,600 of our men were killed in action and 20,000-plus died of wounds, sickness and accidents in that war. Another 103,284 were seriously wounded. Over 400,000 South Korean combatants were killed and the North Koreans more than 500,000. Nearly a million Chinese gave their lives. Nearly 4,000 allied troops were killed in Korea.
Many believe the Korean War delayed communist aggression in the Far East until North Vietnam attacked their brothers in the South.

Great piece. Thanks for the information, and your service. Every time I have interactions with people who come here from South Korea who are studying and teaching at the U of I, I think of all the people who made that sacrifice for others.
It is also the perfect example of two differing styles of government. One people sharing the same language and culture, divided by an arbitrary line, living two completely different lives defined by their governments.

Primary care doctors often diagnose and treat disorders involving the ear, nose, and throat, but doctors called otolaryngologists or otorhinolaryngologists are the ones who specialize in such disorders. The ears, nose, and throat have separate but related functions. The ears and nose are sensory organs, which are necessary for the senses of hearing, balance, and smell. The throat mainly functions as a pathway through which food and fluids travel to the esophagus (the hollow tube that leads from the throat to the stomach) and air passes to the lungs.

A dozen potentially duplicative IT investments at three departments have cost the federal government more than $320 million over the last five fiscal years, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office.
Of the 590 information technology purchases the GAO studied in a recent report, 12 were identified as potentially redundant programs at the Homeland Security, Defense and Health and Human Services departments. GAO examined those departments because they have the largest amount of planned IT spending in the federal government. The government spends about $82 billion annually on IT.
Read the report.
Since the review, DOD has consolidated two programs and expressed intent to cancel a third. GAO recommended DHS and HHS conduct further analyses to help direct consolidation efforts and suggested that DOD develop a plan to cancel the third duplicative program.
Among the findings:
DHS maintains two programs that support immigration enforcement booking management. DHS argues that it needs both programs, but GAO believes it should provide an analysis to show that one program would not meet the need.
GAO found four duplicative programs at DOD, including two that track the health care status of combat personnel and two that manage dental care.
It found six at HHS, including four that support enterprise information security and two for Medicare coverage determination.
DOD and HHS agreed with GAO's recommendations.
The report found qualified praise and criticism on Capitol Hill.
"Our federal government sets aside $82 billion annually for IT investment," said Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Carper (D-Del.) in a joint Sept. 12 statement with ranking committee member. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). "With so much money on the line, it is critical that our government agencies are doing everything possible to save taxpayer money."
While Carper said the study showed some areas that needed improvement, he said it was "promising that GAO found that only 12 of the 590 investments reviewed were duplicative." He added that there was "clearly" more work to do in improving IT spending throughout the federal government. "As I like to say, 'the road to improvement is always under construction.'"
Coburn was less charitable.
"Today's GAO report outlines why effective oversight of the $82 billion spent yearly on IT is essential," said Coburn. "As the GAO report highlights, the government has failed to make gains in improving productivity in IT. We have seen too many delayed and over-budget projects, including some that are duplicative."
Coburn vowed to continue to conduct additional IT oversight and "pressure agencies to follow GAO's recommendations to reduce unnecessary and wasteful duplication."

I wonder how many of these duplicates were by accident or because of someone flexing their authority. In our agency, twice, a regional office starting a program and be well underway, when someone at the central office, and higher level, decided they could do it better. They didn't have the authority to stop the work at the regional level but they could start their own duplicate effort. In both situations, they politicized their programs over the regional's. In one situation, their program became the standard but there were issues with it. In the other situation, the head of the organization looked at both programs and found the one from the central office to be inferior and ordered work on it to stop.

Department store chain Neiman Marcus and Italian fashion house Giorgio Armani are two of the partners in Vanity Fair's first International Best-Dressed Challenge that lets readers be contenders for a new category on the Condé Nast-owned publication's 2013 best-dressed List.
Vanity Fair is letting consumers submit images of themselves to be considered for the new award category on its 73-year old International Best-Dressed List via Instagram, Twitter, Trendabl and its Web site. Brand partners for this initiative Giorgio Armani, Neiman Marcus and Clinique have ads on the International Best-Dressed Challenge Web site and are incorporated in public events and online activities.
"Vanity Fair is an upscale magazine with an intellectual take on fashion, so it is a great fit in general for brands such as Armani and Neiman Marcus," said Jordan Phillips, founder and director of Lure of Luxe LLC, New York. "This promotion in particular is a lucrative opportunity for luxury fashion brands - who wouldn't want to be on the Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed List?
"It is a really eye-catching promotion that certainly cuts through the clutter on social media and in email marketing campaigns," she said.
"As long as marketers choose media outlets wisely and leverage ad buys through online and social channels, luxury brand media partnerships can still be quite effective."
Ms. Phillips is not affiliated with these brands, but agreed to comment as an industry expert.
Neiman Marcus and Armani did not respond before press deadline. Vanity Fair could not comment before press deadline.
Challenge accepted
This year's Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed List will include the two winners from the International Best-Dressed Challenge.
At this time, readers can enter stylish photographs of themselves and friends via Instagram, Twitter and Trendabl with the hashtag #vfbestdressed or upload images to the challenge Web site at http://www.vanityfair.com/best-dressed-challenge. Submissions must be made by June 30.
Each week Vanity Fair editors curate a group of images from the reader submissions and feature them in a slideshow on the challenge site. A monthly award is given to the reader in the image that receives the most "likes" on the site.
Vanity Fair partnered with Armani, Neiman Marcus and Clinique to present the new award category.
Each partner brand is present on the challenge site through banner ads and ads within the reader voting gallery.
Gallery ad
The ads transition between the three brands so that Armani, Neiman Marcus or Clinique is the only brand shown on the site at one time.
The Armani banner ad states, "Dressing the best," and displays its logo and a shop now button. A click-through on the ad takes users to the Giorgio Armani section of the label's ecommerce site.
Armani ad
Meanwhile, Neiman Marcus created an online shopping guide with picks from Vanity Fair special correspondent and International Best-Dressed List Hall of Fame member Amy Fine Collins that it is pushing via its site ads and an email campaign.
The department store chain's banner ad is expandable. It shows a video from its "A Day in the Life of Ken" video series that follows fashion director Ken Downing to Fashion Weeks in four cities worldwide.
Neiman Marcus ad
The ads link to the shopping guide that features apparel, handbags, jewelry and shoes from brands such as Versace, Alexander McQueen, Valentino, Lanvin, Reed Krakoff, Alexander Wang, Carolina Herrera, Fendi, Manolo Blahnik, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, Stella McCartney and Jean Paul Gaultier.
Online shopping guide
The email campaign sent Jan. 29 pushed the shopping guide with a GIF image that flashed between different products.
"The Vanity Fair Best-Dressed Challenge is really interesting," said Leane Brenes, creative director at Brenes Co., New York. "It's a cross-platform that mixes editorial, retail and brands, making for an engaging and entertaining shopping experience.
"Anytime a brand, especially a luxury brand, can drive their audience to generate on-brand content it's a big win," she said. "The interactive, visual and interconnecting platform creates a formula to deepen engagement and ultimately drive purchase."
Media partner
Condé Nast has previously partnered with luxury retailers.
For example, department store chain Nordstrom partnered with Condé Nast's GQ to promote a selection of men's items curated by the magazine's editors while encouraging ecommerce transactions via print and digital efforts.
Nordstrom and GQ offer items called GQ Selects that are available for purchase on a special section of the retailer's ecommerce site. The magazine is featuring the items in-book while Nordstrom is raising awareness for the partnership via in-store events and email (see story).
In addition, department store chain Bloomingdale's looked to draw affluent males to retail locations this past fall with pop-up shops created in partnership with BMW Motorcycles and Condé Nast's GQ.
The retailer presented men's merchandise in limited-edition "Power On" pop-up shops that contained gadgets and tech gear for men chosen by Bloomingdale's Fashion Office as well as "GQ Picks" chosen by the magazine's editors (see story).
Media partnerships that push transactions and lifestyle seem to be a win for luxury retailers.
"For marketers such as Armani and Neiman Marcus, Vanity Fair is a perfect fit because they can reach their target audience from a different vantage point," Ms. Brenes said. "Magazines at one time were thought of a book, but the trend over the years has shifted and magazines are much more – they are brands.
"When a fashion brand or retailer partners with a magazine, it becomes a bigger place to enrich the brand experience, by co-branding and sharing brand equity the audiences builds," she said.

It is the most expensive animation ever made and the 50th work to be produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios. Now Tangled, a re-telling of the Rapunzel fairy tale, could knock the latest Harry Potter film off the top of the US box office.
The $260m (£165m) animation, to be released in Britain in January, retells the Brothers Grimm story using three-dimensional animation and an updated script. The Hollywood Reporter said yesterday that the film narrowly managed to unseat Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1, from the top spot at the US box office last weekend and predicts it could out-perform the Harry Potter film this weekend. The industry newspaper said that while the Harry Potter installment took $50m last weekend, Tangled, released a week later than Harry Potter last month, took $49m during the same period.
The secret of the movie's success, critics claim, is its polished updating of the traditional story. While the new film's titular character has the Grimm story's long hair, most of the other details have been changed. "It's a traditional fairy tale with a very engaging contemporary twist," said Justin Johnson, head of children's programming at the British Film Institute, which will be screening all of Disney's animations, including Tangled, next year. "It has a sassy heroine, who isn't grating, but is amusing, and it translates the classic animation feel of Disney's golden age in the 1940s and 1950s using all the computer-generated technology to make it very modern."
In the original fairytale, Rapunzel is imprisoned because of her parents, who sneak into a witch's garden and steal a magical flower.
In the Disney version, the witch imprisons the girl because she believes that the girl's long tresses somehow bring eternal youth. The new cartoon also has modern dialogue. "Sorry, Blondie," Rapunzel is told at one point, "I don't do back story."
Tangled is also the first Disney animated feature since 1997 with music by Alan Menken, who composed the music for the studio's Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, which later transferred to Broadway. "This [film] is especially exciting because it was on the original list of Disney projects back in the 1940s," Roy Conli, Tangled's producer, said.
"The team back then were trying to figure out a way into the story. It's come on and off the shelf in the last 60 years and it took two brilliant directors, Nathan Greno and Byron Howard, to find a way into the story and give it a contemporary setting." US pundits predict that by the end of the week Harry Potter's gross takings will be in the region of $250m while those for Tangled will be about $100m.

The Molecular Oncology Program of the University of California, Davis Cancer Center is focused on understanding fundamental processes associated with carcinogenesis and the molecular and cell biology of cancer cells. Within this framework the program integrates two distinct but related and mutually reinforcing areas, oncogenic signals and chromosome biology. Of particular interest is how cellular signals regulate chromatin remodeling with respect to the assembly of nuclear hormone receptors and DNA repair complexes. Genome instability is a common denominator for most, if not all, cancers, and misregulated signaling pathways are often the root cause for malignant transformation. Two central themes, 1) Cytoplasmic Signaling and Chromosome Dynamics and 2) Nuclear Signaling and Chromosome Stability, integrate a distinguished group of investigators. The programmatic goals are: 1) Discovery of critical molecules involved in the signaling to and function of transcriptional and DNA repair/recombination complexes In cancer cells;2) Identification of critical molecules in signaling and function of transcription and DNA repair as potential predictive markers and therapeutic targets in cancer;3) Collaboration with other programs to facilitate translational research originating in the basic scientific discoveries of the Molecular Oncology Program. The program has 35 members from 10 different academic units of UC Davis and LLNL. It has 16 NCl-funded projects for $2.4 million ADC (total peer-reviewed funding, $10.7 million ADC).

): To Improve survival from cancer, more fundamental information must be gained. This program contributes to this task by discovering how cells alter the way In which they signal as they move from normal to cancer. The program also focuses on understanding how DNA Is repaired. DNA repair may initially stop cancers developing;however, after cancer is present, alterations in DNA repair may influence the tumor's response to therapy.

Japan Educational Seminar (Korea)
The 13 member universities of the "Global 30" Project and 4 other universities held the Japan Educational Seminar on the 15th and 16th December at the Public Information and Cultural Center, Embassy of Japan in Seoul, Korea.
Thanks to the effective publicity by the Embassy, participating universities and the Secretariat, there were 264 participants over the two days. Many brilliant students from prestigious schools and universities were present. Some of the high school students were accompanied by their parents.
At the opening of the Seminar on the 15th, Yuichi Tokiwagi, the First Secretary of the Embassy of Japan in Korea gave a welcome remark in Korean to the participants in a separate presentation room from the booths. This was followed by a presentation on the "Global 30" Project given by Osamu Aruga, Director of Office for International Planning, Higher Education Policy Planning Division, Higher Education Bureau, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT). Over the two days, the faculty and staff members were joined by Korean alumni from the participating universities who also gave presentations to the participants. As a result, the participants were able to get a clear picture of student life in Japan.
On 17th December, 7 universities visited the Seoul Global High School where the university representatives met many talented students. After making a courtesy visit to the principal, the representatives gave presentations to 84 students. After learning about the opportunities to study in Japan in English, many students said they will consider studying in Japanese universities.

In this part I will explain what was my strategy to add those flames and smoke particles in my map.
If you haven't, I encourage you to check the Part 1 of this tutorial where I explain how to create the particles.
My approach for this matter was to use Tiled and an object layer containing the particles. I did it this way because the flames were used for a town in fire, so no movement was needed for those particles.
Here is the village we'll set fire on:

The problems which attended the troubled gestation of Basement Jaxx's fifth album – among them family illness, relationship break-up and a lack of confidence about their direction – have clearly left their mark on the aptly-titled Scars, the weakest release of their 10-year career.
Tracks like the single "Raindrops" may brandish the pumping house beats of yore, but with a few exceptions they're nowhere near as joyously propulsive as in their earlier hits. The vocal collaborations likewise seem less considered: "My Turn" offers an unhappy alliance with Lightspeed Champion's indie leanings, the routine contributions of Kelis and Santigold fail to enliven "Scars" and "Saga" respectively, and the combination of Amp Fiddler's bluesy vocal with a Shadows guitar sample isn't developed enough to make "A Possibility" more than just a possibility. Things improve later, with "Twerk" giving Flashdance's "Maniac" a club-stomp makeover, and the blend of marimba and strings offering a pleasing bed for Congolese singer Jose Hendrix Ndelo on "D.I.S.tractionz". Best of all is "What's a Girl Got to Do?", which has the quirky jollity we've come to expect from the duo. Elsewhere, however, things are getting a bit strained on planet Jaxx.

After 7 -After 7 (1989)
Artist: After 7
Title: After 7
Year Of Release: 1989
Label: Virgin Records
Music Genre: R&B, Soul
Quality: FLAC (log,tracks+cue)
Total Time: 0:35:25
Total Size: 252 Mb
The self-titled debut album from Indianapolis-based trio After 7 had success written all over it. Two-thirds of the trio are the brothers of producer Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, and the other third is the cousin of Antonio "L.A." Reid; the two produced the majority of the album, which features three smash hits and a host of other likable tracks. The first smash single was "Heat of the Moment," a popular dance track that peaked at number five on the Billboard R&B charts. The second of the three hits was the number one single "Ready or Not," aided by Melvin Edmonds vigorous vocals. However, the song is anchored by Kevon Edmonds soaring natural tenor and the soothing melody that just sails along with the song's steady rhythm arrangement. The third smash single was "Can't Stop," also claiming the number one spot on the R&B charts; it's a laid-back track with a catchy hook line, complemented by its new jack swing beat. The song's popularity increased with several remixes. One other single worth mentioning is "One Night," an urban adult contemporary composition that was never released; it showcases Melvin and Kevon in an impressive vocal exchange over a mid-tempo rhythm. –Craig LytleSong List:

After testing a few systems, including their current and ongoing ERP project that Keck termed still in its "exploratory stages" with a vendor on site for the last six months helping to implement, George's has been blown away with the amount of time the project has taken.
"It's been very, very slow.
And very tedious," says Keck.
"We still have a business to run at the same time, so the time commitment has been huge and all encompassing."
"You really need to get everyone involved, take the time to fully vet all of the scenarios enterprise-wide,"

I have several cats over the years and I have had the sense that somehow
they understand that when I'm doing something they don't like to them or
trying to aid them when they are afraid - that they trust me. They bear
with me, they sort of steel themselves because they seem to understand I
must be doing this for a good reason. Hard to explain, but they seem to
believe that Mom knows best.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Are online payday loans legal in the state of Michigan? How do I handle these loans if I have defaulted? I have read different blogs that say I am only responsible for the principle balance if they are illegal lenders is this correct? I am not saying I don't want to pay, but the amount they want me to pay after what I have already paid in fees is killing me. Any help is appreciated.
Ask a local MI licensed counsel.

No these loans are not illegal. If they are calling and harassing you, they are required to stop calling and only communicate in writing if you make that request to them in writing. The problem they will have is collecting. They cannot garnish your wages or bank accounts unless they sue you first and get a judgment. If they take you to court -which may never happen or may be months or years away-they will likely compromise or the court can set a payment schedule. Change banks so that they no longer have access to your accounts. If you are way over your head, contact a bankruptcy attorney. There are some good ones in your area. www.lawmelton.com

5 Handy Tips for Hiring a Dentist
Good dental health often hinges on the quality of care you get from a dentist. In fact, finding a good dentist can mean the difference between making routine check-ups and keeping up with appointments, and avoiding dental visits altogether. Here are four tips for hiring a dentist that hopefully will make your search more worthwhile.
1. Get Referrals
A good starting point is to ask for recommendations from family members or friends. Enlisting their input, especially if they've dealt with a particular dentist, can help you find a reputable dentist based on firsthand experience. Similarly, your primary care physician or nurse can point you in the right direction because such professionals know the best physicians in your area.
2. Research Prospective Dentists
Ask if a prospective dentist is a member of a professional association. Such an association requires its members to adhere to high standards of conduct. Similarly, a dentist's licensure and certification are indications that he or she has the requisite education, accreditation, and authorization to offer services in a given area. Furthermore, for a dentist to maintain certification, he or she is required to engage in continuing education.
Find out how long the dentist has been in practice to gauge his or her experience. Likewise, check out the general upkeep of the dentist's office. A poorly organized office is a red flag because it may indicate a lack of professionalism. The staff members should also be courteous and efficient. Expect high quality in the system that the dentist operates. Otherwise, a low-quality system should not be worth your time and money.
3. Check Compatibility
Are you compatible with the dentist you select? Well, more people are putting greater emphasis on finding physicians whose personalities are a good match. As such, the focus on the relationship between the patient and doctor is increasingly important. Familiarize yourself with the dentist you intend to hire by scheduling an initial visit – this should serve as a litmus test.
Gauge how the dentist listens to you and tends to your concerns. If he appears to deflect questions or interrupts you while you speak or seems more concerned about whether you can afford treatment, you should consider finding a different dentist.
4. Evaluate Alternative Options
While the cost of dental work is an important consideration to make, put greater emphasis on the quality of care instead. High-quality dentistry is time-intensive and involves meticulous attention to detail. In the same vein, be wary of dentists who offer elaborate treatment plans because these may end up pushing dental costs beyond your budget. Instead, get a second opinion when a dentist recommends extensive dental work. After all, a good dentist should be open to scrutiny by others.
Ideally, the idea is not to find the best dentist per se – it seems like there are far too many definitions of a great dentist. Instead, hire an experienced dentist who is in good standing. Above all, the physician should be someone you can confide in and feel comfortable around. By following these tips for hiring a dentist, you will be well on your way to finding a reliable and reputable professional.

Lemon Shortbread Cookies
|Unsalted butter
|12 Tablespoon (1 1/2 Sticks, At Room Temperature)
|Confectioners sugar
|2⁄3 Cup (10.67 tbs), sifted
|Grated lemon zest
|1⁄2 Tablespoon
|Fresh lemon juice
|1 Tablespoon
|Unbleached all-purpose flour
|1 3⁄4 Cup (28 tbs)
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|For glaze
|Confectioners sugar
|1⁄3 Cup (5.33 tbs), sifted
|Fresh lemon juice
|4 Teaspoon (1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon)
Cream the butter with a wooden spoon until fluffy and light in color, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the confectioners' sugar and blend well.
Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
These first steps can be done by hand or with an electric mixer.
Sift the flour and salt into the butter mixture and blend with your hands or a wooden spoon into a smooth dough.
Preheat your oven to 325°F.press the dough into an 8 x 8-inch cake pan and quickly smooth it with your hands or the back of a wooden spoon.
Roll a small, straight-sided glass over the surface to make the dough as even as possible.
Score the dough halfway through into 6 equal strips horizontally, then into thirds vertically.
A short ruler and sharp paring knife will help.
Prick each rectangular piece 3 or 4 times with a fork (see illustration).
Place in the lower third of the preheated oven and bake until the cookie is set when touched and light brown around the edges, 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and set it on a wire rack to cool.
Cut through the rectangles where the dough was scored and run a sharp knife around the outside.
For the glaze Mix the confectioners' sugar with the lemon juice.
Brush on the warm shortbread.
Allow the cookies to cool.
Do not cover until completely cooled.
Shortbread cookies may be stored in the baking pan for at least a week.

Few other art forms, or businesses, depend on a seasonal spike in trade as heavily as books do.
Many publishers will expect to earn almost half their annual revenues in the couple of months before Christmas. How odd, then, that the technical changes that obsess this sector should still prove so inimical to the pleasures, and rituals, of buying a book as a present. E-readers may bulk out millions of stockings this season.
Yet the works you read on them remain ghostly intangible files, hard to transfer easily as gifts or loans between readers or (most) devices, thanks to the fences erected around them by "digital rights management". So, however much you adore your iPad or Kindle, why not renew your aquaintance with the joy of the printed volume as a source of festive delight this year? From food to fiction, art to science, sport to history, many of the titles selected by our experts showcase the skills of the designer, the illustrator, the typographer, the printer, as well as of the author whose words they enhance.
Does digital publishing menace the future of these arts? If so: all the more reason to go out, or stay in, and buy these treasures while you can. We will lead you to the year's best in every genre, each book a valuable object to have – and to hold.
The best books for Christmas:
Music: Hearing secret harmonies
Science & Nature: Planetary possibilities
Crime & Thrillers: Sleuths in battle
Poetry: Raising the lyrical stakes
History: Countries of the mind
Art: Beguiling visual journeys
Biography: Near-deaths and divine rebirths
Memoir: Unravelling lost pasts
Sport: In search of a big break

Mi Casa Inspire CANSA's 10th Shavathon
12 February 2013: Well-known singing sensation, Mi Casa, have pledge their support for the 2013 Cancer Association of South Africa's (CANSA) 10th Shavathon by 'lending' one of their hit songs for TV and radio ads. 'These Streets' will be hitting it up on the CANSA Shavathon ads all over the country, in the build-up to the Shavathon of the decade.
2013 is the year in which CANSA Shavathon turns 10 years old. "We're grateful to have their support and song to highlight this special 10th CANSA Shavathon. We hope that Shavathon 2013 will be the Shavathon of the decade and that it will help to unite the nation in the fight against cancer," says Sue Janse Van Rensburg, CANSA CEO and cancer survivor of almost 30 years.

If you're currently carrying a little more weight than you should, there are a number of benefits to your health you can experience by shedding a few pounds. The key to successful weight loss is to ensure your ambitions are realistic, and the changes you make are sustainable and become a part of your day-to-day life.
Studies suggest that the best way to lose weight is by making long-term plans to change both your diet and exercise levels, which can help lead to a steady weight loss. Ideally, you should be targeting weight losses of between 0.5 kg to 1 kg each week (1 to 2 lbs) until your weight is within the healthy upper BMI limit of 25.0 (or 23.0 if you are of Asian ethnicity).
Making the commitment to lose weight
In our busy lives, it is very easy to get caught in the trap of eating too much and doing too little. For many of us, this will inevitably lead to us gaining weight, and so if we are to reverse this trend we need to change our habits. Even if we eat a healthy and balanced diet, we can still gain weight if we eat too much, or if we don't burn that food off with exercise.
While drastic diets can seem attractive as they may bring quick results, the chances are that they won't work long-term as it is almost impossible to maintain the lifestyle that comes with them. After you have stopped, you are likely to put the weight back on (and sometimes even more than before) if you return to your old eating habits. Instead, by changing to healthy foods and exercise, you are more likely to stick to your new habits, keeping the weight off long-term.
Starting off
Maintaining a healthy diet and keeping your weight in check are two of the most important things you can do for your health and wellbeing.
A well-balanced diet is essential for good health and will help to maintain a healthy body weight, enhance general mood and energy levels and reduce the risk of a range of serious diseases.
The principles of a healthy diet
The two keys to a healthy diet and achieving a healthy weight are:
- eating the right amount of food for how active you are and
- eating a range of foods to make sure you're getting a balanced diet.
A healthy diet is based on complex carbohydrates such as breads, potatoes, rice and pulses. It is also rich in fruits and vegetables, water and fibre with moderate amounts of milk and dairy products, meat, fish or milk/meat alternatives and limited amounts of foods containing sugars and unhealthy fats.
No single food can provide all the essential nutrients that the body needs so it's very important to consume a wide variety of foods to ensure an adequate range of the right nutrients for good health and wellbeing.
These healthy eating guidelines are appropriate for most people but if you have any conditions that may be affected by what you eat and drink you should ensure that you follow your doctor's advice.
Healthy carbohydrates ... for a steady flow of energy, healthy digestion and weight control
Carbohydrates should meet at least half of your daily energy needs and should be as unrefined as possible in order to provide plenty of fibre, vitamins and minerals and to help keep your blood sugar levels stable throughout the day.
Make sure you eat at least five pieces of fruit and vegetables a day.
Choose brown bread, pasta and rice and foods that include whole grains and try to minimize your intake of white rice, pasta and bread and foods made from white flour. The browner it is, the less refined it's likely to be.
Avoid foods and drinks high in sugar - confectionery, biscuits, cakes, ice cream, fruit/soft drinks, puddings and desserts and refined breakfast cereals and try to minimise your use of sugars in cooking.
Healthy fats ... to keep your calories in check and your arteries healthy
Fats and fatty foods are particularly high in calories and can also increase your risk of heart disease, stroke and cancer. Certain types of fat however such as monounsaturated and omega fats in particular, are highly beneficial to health.
Minimise as far as possible foods high in saturated fats and trans fats. These include fatty cuts of meat, whole milk dairy products, processed foods, fast foods, fried foods, biscuits, crackers, crisps and confectionery. Lower-fat varieties of most high-fat foods are commonly available
Make sure you have regular intakes of foods high in omega fats - you should eat at least one portion of oily fish such as tuna, salmon, herring and mackerel each week. Other good sources include flaxseed, canola and soya bean oils, walnuts and green leafy vegetables.
Healthy exercise … to keep your energy balance in check and boost your metabolism
Keeping physically active on a regular basis is a cornerstone of weight loss - and keeping it off. The right amount for you depends on how old you are, although most adults should take part in 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise five days a week. This can include brisk walking, cycling or even vigorous gardening.
Finally, take some time to identify where you might go wrong and overeat. This could be on a night out with friends, or perhaps after a long day at work when you may not have the time or inclination to cook a proper meal. Planning ahead can help you minimise these risks, such as planning what you are going to eat prior to arriving at the restaurant, or cooking and freezing meals in advance. However, you should also remember not to be too hard on yourself if you do indulge from time to time.

Airway Heights City Council holds final meeting of 2013
Mayor tells council he plans to meet with other small cities in the new year to discuss the county's solid waste proposal
The Airway Heights City Council held their last meeting of the year, Dec. 16.
Mayor Patrick Rushing announced he attended an Association of Northeast Mayors meeting, Dec. 13, regarding the concerns of the upcoming expiration of the solid waste management system and the direction of some of the county leaders and their agendas.
Rushing said he is attempting to meet with all of the small cities in Spokane County at the beginning of 2014, to discuss options.
Rushing mentioned that the cities of Latah, Rockford, Fairfield and Waverly are having a meeting, Jan. 22, 2014, to present their proposals for solid waste management. He added that the city staff has sent a letter to the county that Airway Heights will not be committing to renewing with the county or the city of Spokane and will be keeping their options open.
Rushing mentioned he would inform the council on the date of the meeting.
Following the Mayor's report, the City Council approved the Warrant Register, Investment Report for November 2013, as well as the minutes for the City Council meeting Dec. 2, and the minutes for the City Council study session, Dec. 9. They also approved the transfer of expenditures within the current expense fund, a total of $7,500; and the transfer of expenditures within the Fire Department, total of $7,500.
The council unanimously approved a request from the staff to hire a consultant to analyze the IT system's status and identify the system's needs. Once the system analysis is finished, the staff would hire a vendor to implement the plan, developed during the analysis, into the system. The staff would like to have the process complete by June or July 2014.
During staff reports, City Manager Albert Tripp announced there would be a graduation for fire department recruits from the Medical Lake Fire Department and Spokane County Fire District 10, Dec. 18, at 7 p.m., at Sunset Elementary School.
After Rushing adjourned the meeting, he thanked the other council members and staff for their hard work this year and wished them a Merry Christmas.

Sprint Planning
Sprint Planning
Each Sprint-which is never longer than 30 calendar days-begins with a Sprint Planning Meeting. This meeting is "timeboxed" at eight hours. (Timeboxing is an essential concept in Scrum, in which clear, rigid deadlines are set for most activities.) During Sprint planning, the team and the Product Owner negotiate the portion of the Product Backlog the team will attempt to deliver by the end of the Sprint, as well as a higher level "Sprint goal," describing the purpose of the Sprint. The Sprint goal(s) should be met, even if the team cannot complete all the selected Backlog items.
Immediately after selecting Backlog items and agreeing on a Sprint goal, the team, either with or without the Product Owner present, decomposes the selected Product Backlog into constituent tasks. This detailed list of tasks is called the Sprint Backlog and serves as the team's plan for the next iteration.
The Sprint Backlog
The Sprint Backlog includes all the tasks necessary to turn the Product Backlog into working product functionality. Any team member can add, delete or change the Sprint Backlog as work for the Sprint emerges. On average, tasks should represent one day of work each; those that require more than two days should be broken down into separate tasks. During the Sprint, team members volunteer for tasks-they are not assigned to them-and work remaining is updated daily.
The Daily Scrum
As the name implies, the Daily Scrum occurs each day at the same time. Only team members must attend and participate, but anyone is free to observe. During the Daily Scrum, team members discuss progress toward the current Sprint's goal using three questions:
1. What did I do since the last Daily Scrum?
2. What am I doing until the next Daily Scrum?
3. What are my impediments?
There is the risk that the Daily Scrum will become a perfunctory (and low-value) status report if the ScrumMaster doesn't encourage active discussion. The ScrumMaster should encourage the team to talk to each other (rather than report to just the ScrumMaster) and use whatever techniques are appropriate to keep everyone engaged.
