As a newly admitted veteran, active duty servicemember, spouse or dependent, you and your family members are invited to join us for the Second Annual Veterans Welcome Program at the Student Center, Underground, located on 13th & Montgomery Avenue, Wednesday, August 20, 2014 from 3:00pm - 6:00pm. You will find out everything you need to know about the various G.I. Bill benefits, and gain a complete understanding of the certification process at the university.
After you have fun at TempleFest, come meet key university veteran representatives and hear them talk about career and internship opportunities, money matters, and the tools you will need to successfully navigate your way through the various student services available to you. Meet and mingle with veteran advisors, members of the University Veterans Task Force, Temple Veteran Association (TVA), and maybe even a surprise guest or two. Plus, there will be delicious food and door prizes. Also, learn how you and you family members can attend Temple Football and Basketball games. All students in attendance can pick up their FREE ticket to Military Appreciation Day at the Temple vs. Navy home opener football game on Saturday, September 6 at the Lincoln Financial Field.

Monthly Archives: September 2013
Tomato and Olive Brucetta
September 24, 2013
· 1 small loaf of bakery bread, cut into 3/4 inch slices
· 3 medium tomatoes
· ¾ cup Lucero Olive Oil Heritage Blend Olives
· ¾ cup Lucero Olive Oil Kalamata Olives
· 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
· 1 tablespoon Lucero Arbequina Olive Oil, plus additional for drizzling on bread
· 1 tablespoon Lucero Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
· 1 teaspoon lemon juice
· ½ teaspoon freshly minced garlic
· Salt and pepper to taste
· Optional: Goat Cheese
Preheat the broiler to low. Place bread on lined baking sheet. Drizzle bread with olive oil. Toast under broiler until lightly golden and crisp.
While bread is toasting, quarter the tomatoes, scoop out and discard seeds. Dice the tomatoes and combine with other ingredients in large mixing bowl.
Top warm bread with tomato and olive mixture, enjoy!
Optional: Spread goat cheese on warm bread and then top with tomato mixture.
Bruciante's Smoked Basil Pizza featuring Lucero Basil Infused Olive Oil
September 11, 2013
When you just can't get to Bruciante's kiosk for the popular Smokey Basil Pizza, try this do it yourself version of the original, but remember nothing beats woodfired!
You will need:
Prepared pizza dough or your own homemade
Red Sauce
(Some people like San Marzano Tomatoes, but nothing beats homemade)
Mozzarella cheese
Smoked Mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil, cut or whole whatever you prefer
Grated Myzithra cheese
Turn your oven on broil for 10 minutes and then turn it to 500 degrees. Always remember to preheat your cooking pan. A pizza stone works best, but if you don't have one turn a cookie sheet over and use the bottom. Roll or toss the dough into a round on a floured wooden cutting board. Spread the red sauce carefully onto the dough and put the cheeses on top (2/3 regular mozzarella to 1/3 smoked) and then the basil. Slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone and into the oven for about 6-8 minutes or until the crust browns. Once out of the oven, sprinkle with Lucero Basil Olive Oil and then graded myzithra, cut and enjoy!
Reheating tip: Again a pizza stone works well for reheating, but if you don't have one, use an iron skillet on top of the stove to reheat any pizza, never use a microwave!

Boy am I scatterbrained today :( I take back what I said :) I'll namespace protect it, but it won't be formally provided by APR as an API. It doesn't have an appropriate interface for APR (returning an int file descriptor?), though it does have an appropriate interface for the lock code.

Stiver's buck got a score of 147, while Mikowski's score was 155.35. Mikowski not only took home a great buck and bragging rights, but a new Remington Model 700, 270 caliber with a Tasco 3x9x40 scope for harvesting the Best Buck of 2011. From Mlive.com [2].

M.A.V. Concept art 01 by partical0Watch
©2014-2017 partical0
JAM mech concept art for M.A.V. Game I'm currently working on for Bombdog Studios. If you where a fan of Chromehounds for the xbox 360 this game picks up where that hole was left behind when sega dropped the property. The game is currently available on steam but is still in early Alpha stages of development. I will continue to post work as I'm authorized to do so. Check out the project here if you get a chance
Great model and great presentation. I really like this one a lot mate. Nice color tones as well.
Is this a weaponised mining mech or a battlefield engineering mech?
This is brilliant!
NO, THIS IS SPARTA!!!! lol thanks friend
That is a beast of a machine nice work, good luck with the game too.
Excellent work!
Very cool design!!!
Sonuva...to be honest, I'd played Chromehounds before. It was fair, but not so good for someone who likes to melee as much as I do.
you're in luck M.A.V. will contain many melee weapons, if yu pick it up now the developers are carefully listing to the community to give the game a unique fell, an you can't go wrong at $20
Is it a 360 game, or do I have to download it?
and thanks for your support
I'll look into it after I'm done with school. But for now, I'll consider it and look at your designs. I swear, you should be one of the people I should be bowing down to.
oh man you will like it, and i'm no one to bow down to I'm just an artist like you trying to make a living
Actually, I'm still in school. But still, I should be tipping my hat off to you in regards to your hard-surface modeling. Seems more like ZBrush is starting to become one of my programs of choice (along with Maya).
nah this is for pc chromehounds was on xbox, you can get it on steam or directly from the website www.bombdogstudios.com/
pretty rad,,,like those giant blades !!!!
Just Awesome

eyewear glasses f money didn't even open plastic bag just binned them Great item and fantastic price....who can grumble..! Im happy Just what I needed.and good delivery time Anyone familiar with Ray Ban glasses will agree that the glasses themselves do not really need reviewing. Simply put, they Zurich electronics store cheap ralph lauren shirts lasses doesn't touch her face.) For the extra cost against the normal style of glasses I am more then pleased. The frames & hinges feel sturdy and the glasses are comfortable to wear. In bright sunshine glare is reduced United Kingdom glasses eye best direct .
e shades themselves are sturdy and go wit near enough anything :)
I have been waiting a month for these & still they have not turned up.
Emailing backwards & forwards then they acuse my family of taking the sunglasses & not giving them to me.
Nice glasses. Very cool an ralph lauren perfume me absolutely kicking remixes. Not sure what the final release remixes will be but if the original isn't 'hard' enough then the Chris Liebing will be the choice for you - can't get much harder!!! There are some other remixes floating about but I'm sure they will pich only the best for the final release. An 80's classic revamped for the new millennium!!!
Got this delivered today and im very impress with it, fits my glasses very well, looks great, you would have to look realy close to realise it's not a complete sun glass, would recomend to anyone ray ban sunglasses wayfarer in a shop is a better way to go. These remain unused.
Needed some sunnies for 2yr old on a ski trip ... These were perfect, he wore them all day due to their comfortably, and they protected his eyes perfectly.
I have to say, he looked really really cool in them too! I wanted a little more of a ''designer' feel to the glasses I chose, and these had it in everyway.
As other reviewers have noted, these sunglasses are not for babies.
The description on Amazon for these sunglasses and the baby version is word for word exactly the same. No where does it state that these are for 2 to 5 year old.

Asymmetrical Black Bob, A Chic And Fashionable Style
This asymmetrical black bob is both chic and fashionable. The bob has been a popular hairstyle for many years, ever since the flapper days of the 1920s in fact.
Today's bobs however range from the all purpose jaw length or chin length bobs, which can be tucked behind an ear or flicked up at the tips, to the trendy modern asymmetrical cuts which are increasing in popularity every day.
You will see this style everywhere from the red carpet to the runway.
Try Sharp Bold Lines
The bob can work for all hair types, facial shapes and ages, although oblong, diamond, heart, square and oval faces look particularly good with an asymmetrical bob hairstyle.
Thick, medium textured hair carries it off well. You might want bangs or no bangs, a straight or side parting and deep or short angles.
If your hair is short, your styling options are still open with an asymmetrical bob. You can pull it back into a pompadour style, use combs and hair jewels and flick up the tips of the hair for a different look.
Adding Color
This hairstyle works on women of varying nationalities but you can add color if you like.
A sleek, glossy black bob looks great on black women and Asian women but if you are naturally fair or have blonde, brown or red hair, this style can also look great.
Try Subtle Highlights
The asymmetric bob looks good both in one color and with highlights but if you are going to have highlights with this hairstyle, go for fine ones rather than chunky strips.
The hairstyle is eye-catching enough without going overboard on the color.
How to Cut Our Featured Asymmetrical Black Bob
This cut is hip and modern and the resulting hairdo is sassy and striking. The style is shorter at the back and gets longer towards the face.
A professional stylist will cut the hair using a razor and leave longer pieces in the front for a dramatic look and to frame the face.
An asymmetrical bob has longer hair on one side of the face than the other.
The hair can be flat ironed in small sections, each section being bumped under to curl it a little at the tip. Else, it can be smoothed down poker straight.
How to Style an Asymmetrical Black Bob
Wash the hair and blow dry it. Use hair straighteners to smooth down the sections of the hair and finish off with hair spray to keep your bob looking great.
It is a good idea to stick with one chemical service at a time. If you are having your hair chemically straightened for this style, keep your existing color.
If you are having your hair colored, keep your existing hair texture.
Having more than one process at once can weaken your hair and lead to serious hair breakage, which will ruin the look of your asymmetrical bob and make it far more asymmetrical than it ought to be!
If you are using hair straighteners on a daily basis to smooth down your bob, it is a good idea to use a protective barrier product on your hair to minimize the heat damage.
If you are lucky enough to have poker straight hair already or you have chemically straightened hair, you can just blow dry your hair after washing and a little hair spray is all you need.

Content essentialism
- Received:
- Citations

The paper offers some preliminary and rather unsystematic reflections about the question: Do Beliefs Have Their Contents Essentially? The question looks like it ought to be important, yet it is rarely discussed. Maybe that's because content essentialism, i.e., the view that beliefs do have their contents essentially, is simply too obviously and trivially true to deserve much discussion. I sketch a common-sense argument that might be taken to show that content essentialism is indeed utterly obvious and/or trivial. Somewhat against this, I then point out that a "sexy" conclusion that is sometimes drawn from Putnam-Burge-style externalist arguments, namely that our mental states are not in our heads, presupposes content essentialism — which suggests that the view is not entirely trivial. Moreover, it seems intuitively that physicalists should reject the view: If beliefs are physical states, how could they have their propositional contents essentially? I distinguish three readings of the title question. Content essentialism does seem fairly obvious on the first two, but not so on the third. I argue that the common-sense argument mentioned earlier presupposes one of the first two readings but fails to apply to the third, on which 'belief' refers to belief-state tokens. That's because ordinary belief individuation is silent about belief-state tokens. Token physicalists, I suggest, should indeed reject content essentialism about belief-state tokens. What about token dualists? One might think they ought to embrace content essentialism about belief-state tokens. I end with puzzling why this should be so.

Subject Matter: English Language Arts
Grade Level: Kindergarten
Lesson Objective: Learners will demonstrate knowledge of/understanding of/ability to practice phonological awareness, phonetic skills, and beginning reading using a web-based educational program. Learners will also have the ability to practice technological skills such as navigating through a web site and demonstrating how to use the mouse/keyboard correctly.
Subject Matter Content Standard: Common Core State Standards:
- Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and page by page.
- Recognize that spoken words are represented in written language by specific sequences of letters.
- Understand that words are separated by spaces in print.
- Recognize and name all upper- and lowercase letters of the alphabet.
- Recognize and produce rhyming words.
- Count, pronounce, blend, and segment syllables in spoken words.
- Blend and segment onsets and rimes of single-syllable spoken words.
- Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.1 (This does not include CVCs ending with /l/, /r/, or /x/.)
- Add or substitute individual sounds (phonemes) in simple, one-syllable words to make new words.
Technology Standard: NETS for Students: 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity:
- promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
- engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tolls and resources.
Website Addresses Used as Resources:
Essential Question: "Who would like to learn how to read using the computer?!"
- What are some "am" words?
- Who can name some "ig" words?
- Who remembers some "in" words?
- Who would like to come and write on the white board three "in" words?
- Who would like to point to three "an" words that are on our word wall?
Assessment: There are many ways that these websites promote student learning. Students were able to navigate through the sites while listening to or following the prompts and directions. Students were able to match letters to their correct sounds, match upper case letters to lower case letters, and read (or be read to) beginning reader books. I will assess student learning with this assignment by performing formative assessments. I will document student progress and print out their work for their portfolios to show parents.

by Laura Seaman for Stanford News
Stanford CA (SPX) May 02, 2014
Corn yields in the central United States have become more sensitive to drought conditions in the past two decades, according to Stanford research.
The study, which appears in the journal Science, was led by Stanford's David Lobell, associate professor of environmental Earth system science and associate director of the Center on Food Security and the Environment. "The Corn Belt is phenomenally productive," Lobell said, referring to the region of Midwestern states where much of the country's corn is grown.
"But in the past two decades we saw very small yield gains in non-irrigated corn under the hottest conditions. This suggests farmers may be pushing the limits of what's possible under these conditions."
He predicted that at current levels of temperature sensitivity, crops could lose 15 percent of their yield within 50 years, or as much as 30 percent if crops continue the trend of becoming more sensitive over time.
As Lobell explained, the quest to maximize crop yields has been a driving force behind agricultural research as the world's population grows and climate change puts pressure on global food production. One big challenge for climate science is whether crops can adapt to climate change by becoming less sensitive to hotter and drier weather.
"The data clearly indicate that drought stress for corn and soy comes partly from low rain, but even more so from hot and dry air. Plants have to trade water to get carbon from the air to grow, and the terms of that trade become much less favorable when it's hot," said Lobell, also the lead author for a chapter in the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report, which details a consensus view on the current state and fate of the world's climate.
Rain, temperature, humidity
According to the research, over the last few decades, corn in the United States has been modified with new traits, like more effective roots that better access water and built-in pest resistance to protect against soil insects. These traits allow farmers to plant seeds closer together in a field, and have helped farmers steadily raise yields in typical years.
But in drought conditions, densely planted corn can suffer higher stress and produce lower yields. In contrast, soybeans have not been planted more densely in recent decades and show no signs of increased sensitivity to drought, the report noted.
Drought conditions are expected to become even more challenging as temperatures continue to rise throughout the 21st century, the researchers said.
Lobell said, "Recent yield progress is overall a good news story. But because farm yields are improving fastest in favorable weather, the stakes for having such weather are rising. In other words, the negative impacts of hot and dry weather are rising at the same time that climate change is expected to bring more such weather."
Extensive data
"The idea was pretty simple," he said. "We determined which conditions really matter for corn and soy yields, and then tracked how farmers were doing at different levels of these conditions over time. But to do that well, you really need a lot of data, and this dataset was a beauty."
Lobell said he hopes that the research can help inform researchers and policymakers so they can make better decisions.
"I think it's exciting that data like this now exist to see what's actually happening in fields. By taking advantage of this data, we can learn a lot fairly quickly," he said. "Of course, our hope is to improve the situation. But these results challenge the idea that U.S. agriculture will just easily adapt to climate changes because we invest a lot and are really high-tech."
Lobell and colleagues are also looking at ways crops may perform better under increasingly hot conditions. "But I wouldn't expect any miracles," he said. "It will take targeted efforts, and even then gains could be modest. There's only so much a plant can do when it is hot and dry."

2002 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Keep them coming
By Al Knox on
Vehicle2002 Chevrolet Corvette 2dr Convertible (5.7L 8cyl 4A)
ReviewAlthough I have only had this car for 5 weeks, I can honestly say I was not
disappointed in it's performance. It is all I had hoped it would be as far as
handling, driveability, looks and comfort. It is definatly a better choice than
other sports coupes in this price range (Boxster, Z3 etc.)
The only issue I have is the dealer installed CD changer was very sensitive to
road imperfections. The new one they replaced it with is better but I am still
not sure if it should be that way. This is a minor thing when you consider the
whole package and what a blast it is driving this true american experience.
Best FeaturesDynomite looks, usuable trunk, great sound system, unbelievable acceleration, firm ride and steering. Just a great fun car.
Worst FeaturesRemove the 1to4 shift feature in the 6 speed. It seems to engage when the RPMs are too low for fourth gear. I think the driver should always be able to go through the gears and suffer the consequences of fuel economy if they don't shift at a reasonable RPM reading.

Alchemy Mala
Alchemy Mala
Alchemy is about transformation. Gold is believed to purify and provide energy for the physical body. It's said to help in the rehabilitation of the body. Many believe it strengthens the nervous system and balances the heart chakra. Gold plated silver | Gold is 22k. Length | 108 beads and hangs 39 cm. Length is approximate as each piece of jewelry is unique. Artist | Mala Collective Vancouver, BC
Located in Victoria, BC, Picot is a beautifully curated shop filled with modern handcrafted wares and thoughtful gifts. Owner Britt Buntain, who is also an avid weaver, has maintained a vibe that is at once minimalist and bohemian, with artful woven hangings made by Britt herself covering the boutique's walls. The inspiration for the name of the boutique is as multifaceted as the store itself — 'Picot' was Britt's grandmother's maiden name and is also the name for a type of loop stitch that finishes off a woven product. Chock full of apothecary goods, pottery, textiles and jewelry, Picot is spilling over with all things lovely.

Craig had a good day overall yesterday going 3-1 with his premium plays. Unfortunately we lost our free play as the Reds walked 2 runs in to cost us the win. Tough loss yesterday but today Craig Trapp from CT Sports Picks is going to have huge bounce back win. Our free play is in the Rivalry Game 2 Boston Red Sox hosting New York Yankees. Lets look at the trends and records for this match up. Records:
- New York Yankees 9-7 Burnett 2-0 (3.20 ERA)
- Boston Red Sox 10-6 Beckett 2-1 (3.79 ERA)
Betting Trends:
- Yankees are 6-1 in their last 7 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150
- Yankees are 12-4 in their last 16 vs. American League East.
- Red Sox are 5-0 in their last 5 games vs. a right-handed starter.
- Red Sox are 1-5 in Becketts last 6 home starts vs. a team with a winning record.
- Yankees are 7-3 in the last 10 meetings.
The Yankees broke open the war chest in the off season and signed the best two pitchers available (Burnett and Sabathia). So far Burnett has been very good but he was really acquired because historically he has had huge success against Boston. The veteran right-hander is 5-0 with a 2.56 ERA in eight career starts versus Boston even better at Fenway Park he is 3-0 with .40 ERA. After Boston had another classic win in this great rivalry series on Friday the NYY will be super motivated and win in a run away. NY has not lost a game Burnett has pitched yet and they keep it that way today! SCORE NYY 6 - BOS 1 Don't miss out on Craig's Double Digit Cover 5 star NBA play for SATURDAY. Yesterday Craig was 1-0 in his NBA plays and today will add another easy win in the NBA!!

Russia in Review
Russia in Review: a digest of useful news from U.S.-Russia Initiative to Prevent Nuclear Terrorism for January 4-15, 2016
I. U.S. and Russian priorities for the bilateral agenda.
Nuclear security:
- "We presume that the IAEA should play the central role in coordinating the international community's efforts in the physical nuclear security area, as it possesses the necessary expert potential," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement in reply to a question from the media regarding an upcoming Nuclear Security Summit. "We believe it is unacceptable to set a precedent by interfering in the planning work of international organizations having considerable expert potential and following democratic procedures," Zakharova said of the March 2016 summit. "At the moment the political agenda of these summits is exhausted," she said. (Interfax, Sputnik, 01.13.16).
- Georgia's security agency said Monday it has arrested three men suspected of peddling radioactive cesium, the latest in a series of operations against nuclear smugglers in the ex-Soviet nation. The agency said Monday that the men were arrested in the capital, Tbilisi, while trying to sell an unspecified amount of cesium-137 for $100,000. (AP, 01.11.16).
- Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko may visit the United States in March, although no final decision has yet been made on the matter In particular, the Ukrainian leader is expected to take part in a nuclear security summit. US Assistant Secretary for Arms Control, Verification and Compliance Frank A. Rose will visit Kiev on January 18-20 to participate in a ceremony marking the update of the bilateral Nuclear Risk Reduction Center communications link at the Ministry of Defense and to discuss issues of space activities' security. (Tass, 01.08.16, Interfax, 01.12.16).
- In a Dec. 23 letter that hasn't been publicly reported, U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz asked White House budget director Shaun Donovan to reconsider the fiscal 2017 budget proposal due to Congress by Feb. 2. Mr. Moniz went on to note that "a majority of NNSA's facilities and systems are well beyond end-of-life." Also, "infrastructure problems such as falling ceilings are increasing in frequency and severity," as more than 50% of facilities are at least 40 years old and nearly 30% date to World War II, Mr. Moniz wrote. "There has been a steady decline in the performance of the nuclear weapons computer codes needed to ensure the safety, security, and reliability of the nuclear stockpile," Mr. Moniz wrote, but the current budget seeks less than a third of what's needed, despite an executive order on "strategic computing" issued six months ago. He added that uranium-enrichment programs and satellite systems are short some $715 million. (Wall Street Journal, 01.12.16).
- Twenty nations with significant atomic stockpiles or nuclear power plants have no government regulations requiring minimal protection of those facilities against cyberattacks, according to a study by the Nuclear Threat Initiative. Russia, the United States, Belarus, Canada, France and the United Kingdom were among the top 13 nations who received the maximum score for cybersecurity in the NTI report. The United States, India, Russia, and the United Kingdom are the most improved nuclear-armed states and twelve of the 24 countries with materials—including nuclear-armed France, Russia, and the United States—decreased their quantities of weapons usable nuclear materials over the most recent four-year period measured by the NTI Index. However, the report also found that 24 nations still have more than 2.2 pounds of weapons-usable nuclear material, "much of its still too vulnerable to theft." (New York Times, Sputnik, NTI, 01.14.16).
- In 1998, in Operation Auburn Endeavor, the U.S. government helped fly 4.3 kilograms of highly enriched uranium (HEU) and low-enriched uranium (LEU) from vulnerable facilities in Georgia to the United Kingdom. At the time, those in the U.S. government involved in the project thought that was all the HEU there was in Georgia. So it was a surprise last week when the IAEA announced the removal of another 1.83 kilograms of HEU from Georgia – apparently now really the last of the HEU there. (Nuclear Security Matters, 01.12.16).
Iran's nuclear program and related issues:
- Iran will recall its suit against Russia for the non-delivery of S-300 air defense systems in light of sanctions about to be lifted against Tehran and has already made a prepayment for their consequent deliveries, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said. (Sputnik, 01.11.16).
Military issues, including NATO-Russia relations:
- Russia is ready to work within the Russia-NATO Council format, but this readiness ought to be mutual, Russian President Vladimir Putin has said. Putin pointed toward NATO's eastward expansion for the cooling in Russia's relations with the West. "NATO and the U.S. wanted a complete victory over the Soviet Union. They wanted to sit on the throne in Europe alone," he said. (Interfax, 01.12.16, Moscow Times, 01.11.16).
- Russian president Vladimir Putin told German newspaper Bild: "We have heard a thousand times the mantra from our American and European politicians, who say: "Each country has the right to choose its own security arrangements." Yes, we know that. This is true. But it is also true that other countries have the right to make decisions to expand their own organization or not, act as they consider appropriate in terms of global security. And leading NATO members could have said: "We are happy that you want to join us, but we are not going to expand our organization, we see the future of Europe in a different way." (Kremlin.ru, 01.11.16).
- Russian Foreign Ministry official Maria Zakharova has called the information reported by the Western media stating that NATO is called a "threat" to Russia's national security in Russia's updated national security strategy "unscrupulous speculation." "As to the wording that defines NATO as a 'threat,' the document doesn't have them […] It is enough to read the text of the document attentively to become convinced that the said allegations are ungrounded," Zakharova said. (Interfax, 01.14.16).
- The commander of United States Air Force operations in Europe and Africa expressed ''very serious'' concern Monday over what he described as big buildups of complex Russian missile defenses that increasingly threaten NATO military access to air space in parts of Europe, including one-third of the skies in Poland. According to Gen. Frank Gorenc, Russian forces have deployed a layered integrated air and missile defense system in the Kaliningrad exclave of Russia. The weapons—which Gorenc didn't specifically identify—are "layered in a way that makes access to that area difficult." Gorenc is likely referring to Russia's Voronezh-DM phased array VHF-band early warning radar, S-400 battalion, S-300s missiles and the other air defense systems. (New York Times, National Interest, 11.12.16).
Missile defense:
- Russian president Vladimir Putin told German newspaper Bild: "In 2009, current President of the United States Barack Obama said that if Iran's nuclear threat no longer existed there would be no incentive for establishing the ABM system; this incentive would disappear. However, the agreement with Iran has been signed. And now the lifting of sanctions is being considered, everything is under the IAEA control; first shipments of uranium are already being transported to the Russian territory for processing, but the ABM system is being further developed." (Kremlin.ru, 01.11.16).
- Frank Rose, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for arms control said the U.S.-built anti-ballistic missile radar in Romania should be active this spring. Asked about Mr. Rose's comments, a Russian official noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin has continued to raise objections to the missile defense system. (Wall Street Journal, 01.13.16).
Nuclear arms control:
- Frank Rose, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for arms control, warned Moscow against putting nuclear weapons in Crimea, saying such a move would be "inappropriate and illegal." While Mr. Rose praised Moscow's cooperation with the New START treaty he repeated Washington's allegations that Russia has violated the Intermediate Nuclear Forces treaty with its missile tests. (Wall Street Journal, 01.13.16).
- "We are faced with common threats, and we still want all countries, both in Europe and the whole world, to join their efforts to combat these threats, and we are still striving for this," Russian president Vladimir Putin said in a wide-ranging interview with Germany's Bild newspaper. "I refer not only to terrorism, but also to crime, trafficking in persons, environmental protection, and many other common challenges," he said. For us it was an obvious fact that the international terrorism was also used as a means of fighting against Russia, while everyone either turned a blind eye on that or provided support to terrorists," he said. (Reuters, 01.11.16, Kremlin.ru, 01.11.16).
- Washington and Moscow should share data on the Daesh, also known as ISIL/The Islamic State, targets in Syria as it is in interests of both countries, U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson said. (Sputnik, 01.11.16).
- One of three Russian nationals detained in Turkey for suspected links with the Islamic State (IS) extremist group has been wanted in Russia for alleged terrorism. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on January 14 that Aidar Suleimanov from Russia's mainly Muslim Tatarstan region had been added to the international wanted list in August over suspicion of involvement in IS activities. Suleimanov was, however, subsequently released from a deportation center in Turkey (RFE/RL, 01.14.16, Interfax, 01.15.16).
Cyber security:
- No significant developments.

- Europe is set to be the key destination for liquefied natural gas supplies from the U.S. after prices fell in Asia, the world's biggest consumer of the fuel, according to Wood Mackenzie Ltd. The problem for U.S. LNG in Europe is that it is still more expensive than Russian gas. At the moment, Russian gas is at $6 per MMBTU while regasified LNG from the United States is at $7.5 per MMBTU. (Bloomberg, 01.15.16, Foreign Affairs, 01.08.16).
Bilateral economic ties:
- No significant developments.
Other bilateral issues:
- Russian President Vladimir Putin has disagreed with U.S. President Barack Obama who said that Russia is a regional power." If someone speaks of Russia as a regional power, they should clarify what region they refer to, he said. "Look at the map and ask: "What is it, is it part of Europe? Or is it part of the eastern region, bordering on Japan and the United States, if we mean Alaska and China? Or is it part of Asia? Or perhaps the southern region?" Or look at the north. Essentially, in the north we border on Canada across the Arctic Ocean. Or in the south? Where is it? What region are we speaking about?" Putin said. (Interfax, 01.12.16).
- "Even as their economy contracts, Russia is pouring resources to prop up Ukraine and Syria – states they see slipping away from their orbit," U.S. President Barack Obama said in his State of the Union address." The White House subsequently clarified President Obama's puzzling reference to Ukraine. A senior U.S. administration official told RFE/RL on January 13 that Obama was referring in part to Moscow's support for former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. (RFE/RL, 01.13.16, Whitehouse.gov, 01.12.16).
- U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone on January 13, discussing the crises in Ukraine and Syria, the White House said. Obama told Putin that a key next step in resolving the Ukrainian crisis was for all sides to agree on the modalities of local elections in the Donbas region of Ukraine, the White House said in a statement. According to the Kremlin, Putin and Obama also called for an easing of tensions between and Iran and Saudi Arabia. (RFE/RL, 01.13.16).
- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Zurich on January 19 to discuss the conflicts in Ukraine and Syria. (RFE/RL, 01.15.16).

The lawsuit was filed in a New York court. (Moscow Times, 01.11.16).
- By far, the United States is the country with the largest portion of the world's migrants: 47 million, or one-fifth of the total, which includes 20 million refugees Germany and Russia shared the No. 2 spot with about 12 million each, a United Nations study has found. (RFE/RL, 01.13.16).
- U.S. President Bill Clinton thought newly installed Russian President Vladimir Putin was "smart and thoughtful." "I think we can do a lot of good with him," Clinton said. But in a separate call, he told Blair that Putin might "get squishy on democracy." Clinton also seemed to think U.S.-Russian relations would progress more smoothly if Vice President and Democratic Party candidate Al Gore defeated Bush in the upcoming presidential election. (RFE/RL, 01.08.16).
II. Russia news.

The cuts, to be proposed by January 15, will not affect areas such as pensions and salaries for civil servants and soldiers. If the budget is not cut by 10 percent, Siluanov said, "then the same thing will happen as happened in 1998 and 1999, when the population pays for what we did not do" through a loss of savings via inflation, (Financial Times, 01.12.16, Wall Street Journal, 01.13.16, Washington Post, 01.15.16).
- Russian officials had hoped for an end to recession this year, but a near 20 percent decrease in the price of oil in early January has forced a reassessment.

"Our main effort should go into strengthening the potential of our strategic nuclear forces and of fulfilling the space-defense program," Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said. (RFE/RL, 01.12.16).
- Russian media outlets are running stories saying that the Russian Strategic Missile Force is going to keep itself busy in 2016, carrying out a total of 16 intercontinental ballistic missile tests. Last year, Russia conducted eight, and doubling a nuclear missile test program is kind of a big deal. Of the planned 16 tests, 14 will be for new systems, while the remaining two launches are meant to test extending the life of existing missiles. (Vice, 01.14.16).
- Moscow will be able to build aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships domestically as soon as 2019. We'll be ready to begin construction of helicopter carriers as well as aircraft carriers," Alexey Rakhmanov, president of Russia's United Shipbuilding Corporation said. (National Interest, 01.15.16).

- A prosecutor has asked a court in southern Russia to sentence a man charged with high treason to 13 years in jail.

Foreign affairs and trade:
- Syria:
- "First, the Syrian population has to be able to vote, and then we will see if Assad would have to leave his country if he loses the election," Putin said.

(Sky, Russia Today, 01.15.16).

Moscow has denied its strikes have killed civilians. (RFE/RL, 01.11.16).
- Alleged recipients of Russian air support primarily consist of groups supported by the U.S. such TOW anti-tank missile recipient Jaysh Asoud al-Sharqiya, an anti-Assad opposition faction that has previously accused Russia of targeting their headquarters in the Damascus countryside. Russia claimed to conduct strikes "in the interest of" Jordanian-backed opposition group Jaysh Ahrar al-Asha'er in Dera'a Province, areas where the group is currently clashing with ISIS. Local reporting, however, did not verify Russian strikes in the area. (ISW, 01.12.16).
- Russian airstrikes against Turkish-backed Syrian rebel groups in the past month have enabled an advance by Kurdish forces in the western enclave of Afrin.

- When asked if Russia has made any mistakes in relations with the West in the past 25 years, Russian president Vladimir Putin said: "Yes, it has.
