Metallica's 'Orion Music + More Festival' Promotes Diversity
Metallica's 'Orion Music + More' concert promotes diversity by booking an eclectic group of bands to perform during the two day music, arts and lifestyle festival. Taking place on June 23 and 24 at Bader Field in Atlantic City, N.J. the idea of Metallica organizing and headlining their own festival definitely rocks -- but apparently some fans are questioning the alt-centric lineup.
Some of the acts booked; Artic Monkeys, Modest Mouse, Gaslight Anthem, Cage The Elephant and A Place To Bury Strangers definitely yield towards the alternative genre versus that of a classic rock or metal genre. Still, heavier acts such as Avenged Sevenfold, The Sword and Liturgy are also scheduled to perform. But with Metallica wearing the hat of the host, the fans are still asking "where's the beef?" -- because logically, one might expect heavier bands.
During an interview with Billboard.biz, Charlie Walker of C3 (the company working with Metallica to put this fest on) makes it clear that diversity was the biggest factor in booking a bill of opener for 'Orion Music + More.'
"I'm sure some people have a vision of what they think it is because it's Metallica, but I think they'll have a different understanding of what it is after they come and see it," he said. "I think we'll try and stick with diversity. You'll see some more hard rock bands; you'll see some more alternative bands. We're certainly not consciously trying to lean it hard rock or indie — we're trying to make it balanced."
It's been said that one of the favored parts of these type festivals is the fact that fans have an opportunity to see acts that ordinarily they wouldn't have seen or bought a ticket to otherwise. In turn, it gives bands larger exposure while allowing fans to explore various genres and multiple types of bands.
Our biggest question about their aim for diversity: how will this audience respond to Roky Erickson? Only time will tell.

Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at U.S. Baseball Academy.
Camp Location
DeLaSalle HS
1 DeLaSalle Dr.
Minneapolis, Minnesota 55401
Camp Dates
Sun: Feb. 11, 18, 25; Mar. 4, 11, 18
Camp Details
DeLaSalle HS head coach, Douge Schildgen, will direct the program in conjunction with U.S. Baseball Academy. Classes are available for players in grades 1-12 and feature a low player to coach ratio. Sessions are offered in hitting, pitching, catching, fielding and baserunning. Space is limited.
About U.S. Baseball Academy
At U.S. Baseball Academy Spring Training, players learn from some of the area's top high school and/or college coaches. This is not a lecture clinic. With a low player-coach ratio, each player gets individual attention in a small-group atmosphere. An average hitting session includes about 30 players with four or five experienced and professionally trained coaches. Pitching and catching sessions have smaller numbers and the same player-coach ratio. And with numerous age-specific sessions, instruction is appropriate for all ability levels. Overall, it's the type of professional instruction to which young players don't normally have access.
With tuition as low as $139 (less than $25 per hour of instruction) for the whole program, the value is unrivaled. Our Triple Play special gets your choice of three skill sessions (hitting, pitching, catching or fielding/baserunning), at a savings of $100 for all 18 hours of instruction (less than $20/per hour of instruction). You can add just one additional skill and save $30 off regular prices.

Barry Louderman, Fourth Ward city councilman, might try to convince City Council to plunge next year.
Among the crowd on the Hannibal riverfront Saturday watching the third annual Polar Plunge was Barry Louderman, Fourth Ward city councilman.
Why was Louderman just spectating?
"I'm too old to go into that (river). I sent my son (Nick) instead," said Louderman. "This is awesome. I hope they keep this up every year."
What would it take to get Louderman off dry ground and into the frigid Mississippi River?
"If he (Mayor Roy Hark) would do it, I would try to get the rest of the Council next year to do it," said the councilman. "If we can get the rest of the Council to do it next year then maybe somebody would want to match the funds the Council raised."
There was no doubt in Louderman's mind who would be the toughest Council member to charge into the icy water.
"Probably Roy ... probably Roy. We'd have to convince him," he said with a smile.
While Louderman had attended last year's Polar Plunge, a number of people turned out for the first time to watch the Special Olympics fund-raiser.
"We just seen it advertised in the paper and on television and thought, 'What the heck. Why not?'" said Jim Stokes of Monroe City.
"It's something to do," said Betty Stokes, adding it was a mutual decision to attend the event.
Another first-time spectator was Betty Wells of Hannibal.
"It's a good cause, but I wouldn't want to do it. It will be fun to see," said Wells, adding she was already cold even before the first group went into the water. "We've never come down before. We're going to watch and see what happens."
Not too bothered by the cold was Amy Sternke of Hannibal.
"We're all in at least two or three layers. It's a balmy 21 degrees right now I believe," she said.
Sternke was watching the event for the first time with family members.
"My son does karate for ATA Karate and his instructors are jumping in today and we wanted to see them dressed as super heroes," she said.
Andy Dorian, director of the Hannibal Parks & Recreation Department, thought the conditions for Saturday's plunge were "perfect."
"It's cold, just like it's supposed to be. There's a bright blue sky. You couldn't ask for anything better," he said. "There's not much wind. It would be pretty brutal down here if we had some wind."

This is the second installment in a 3-part series (read 1st column here) that discusses some of the mechanisms behind functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) technology. As you may recall, the genesis for this series was reactive…I got mad while sitting on an airplane reading a magazine article about how fMRIs can predict everything from product preferences to political inclination. The article hinted at something I have been noticing with increasing alarm—the confusion about what fMRI can and cannot reveal about information processing in the brain. I decided to write this series hoping that knowledge of the basic science behind fMRI technology could contribute to making more nuanced conclusions about the data it reveals.
Last month, I discussed some of the basic physics behind MRI and described why magnets and radio waves were so important in getting an image. Here I explore how that physics reveals neural activity in the brain. Actually, fMRI does not detect neural activity at all. It only detects changes in blood flow, which may be a source of some of the confusion (more on that in a moment).
To talk about the controversies about what fMRI actually detects (and yes, there are controversies), I will briefly describe the relationship between neural activity and the brain's hemodynamic properties. I will then move to data that appear to describe the molecular components behind this relationship. Along the way, I will review some basic biochemistry, from glycolysis (remember glycolysis?) to the prostaglandin biosynthetic pathway.
Detecting basics
The basic idea behind fMRI and brain activity is simple: when busy brain tissues are processing information, they naturally require more energy than when they are not processing information. At its most atomic level, the activity involves the translocation of ions across cell membranes. To generate the energy needed to pump ions out, neurons need a ready supply of blood-borne glucose and oxygen. Why blood-borne? As you know, neurons do not possess internal energy stores in the form of oxygen and glucose. Any increase in their activity requires dipping into extracellular energy resources. Increasing energy supply is supposed to mean increasing blood flow to the neural tissues that need it.
"Noninvasive imaging, such as fMRI, is a great and powerful technology, but it provides no easy answers in our quest to understand how the brain processes information."
This link between energy needs and blood flow is fundamental to our story: fMRI machines can only detect localized changes in blood flow. The phenomenon is known as a BOLD (blood-oxygen level–dependent) signal. How is a machine that traffics in magnetic fields and radio waves capable of detecting changes in blood flow in the first place? You've known the answer since grade school. Hemoglobin-bound iron atoms are found in blood, and because these atoms are metal they are magnetically sensitive. Localized oxygen release is of course greater for actively depolarizing neurons than for inactive neurons. And it is this difference that drives the BOLD signal. There is thus a conceptual link between neural activity and the hemodynamic properties of the brain.
At least we think so. The association with blood flow and neural activity is actually not as clear as is sometimes thought. Two examples come to mind. First, increased neural activity does not always result in an increased hemodynamic signal. There are studies that show that increased neural activity can sometimes result in localized vasoconstriction, not dilation, which creates a reduction in localized blood flow.
A second example comes from an issue that is often glaringly omitted from discussions about brain activity: the role of controlled neural in-hibition. Certain types of processing require a deliberate and sustained quelling of regional neural activity. Such deliberate inhibition requires an increase in energy supply, just as deliberate activation does. How does an fMRI signal, which can only detect increases in blood flow, discriminate between these 2 powerful processes? The short answer is that it sometimes cannot.
Questions can even arise from application. There certainly are data that support a positive correlation of blood flow with neural activity. However, what activity is being measured may depend on experimental design. In some cases, increased blood flow signals an anticipatory rather than a reactive response. In one experiment, participants started showing increases in anticipation of the onset of a specific task before the task had even begun. The experimenters concluded that getting a signal concordant with the task depends on the type and timing of the activity.
Does that mean we should just throw out the idea that neural activity and blood flow are positively correlated? Hardly. All it suggests is that we need a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between the two.

Information for Patients
Foodborne Illness
Also called: Food Poisoning
Each year, 48 million people in the U.S. get sick from contaminated food. Common culprits include bacteria, parasites and viruses. Symptoms range from mild to serious. They include
- Upset stomach
- Abdominal cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Fever
- Dehydration
Harmful bacteria are the most common cause of foodborne illness. Foods may have some bacteria on them when you buy them. Raw meat may become contaminated during slaughter. Fruits and vegetables may become contaminated when they are growing or when they are processed. But it can also happen in your kitchen if you leave food out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. Handling food safely can help prevent foodborne illnesses.
The treatment in most cases is increasing your fluid intake. For more serious illness, you may need treatment at a hospital.

About José Patrício
Rooted in Constructivism, José Patrício's serial geometric compositions bridge painting and installation, using readymade objects to create patterns of color and form. Many of his mosaic-like works are made from dominos, which he arranges side by side according to the color of their dots, rather than to their numerical value, as the rules of the game would dictate. In Ars Combinatoria (2005), Patricio carpeted the floor of an abbey in France with dominoes intricately arranged to form a seemingly endless variety of square patterns in vibrant shades of emerald and ocher. The work represents Patricio's attempt, according to the critic Moacir dos Anjos, "to reconcile the rigor of repetitive and regular form with the randomness that, to a large degree, governs the world."

Japan's currency has fallen 6.9 percent this year, the most among the 10 developed currencies measured by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. The euro is the second-worst performer, losing 2.8 percent, while the dollar has declined 1.2 percent.
The dollar may rise to an eight-month high versus the yen after ending last week above a key technical level, according to CMC Markets Plc, citing trading patterns.
"Last week saw the U.S. dollar close above the weekly ichimoku cloud for the first time since April, which should be bullish," London-based analyst Michael Hewson wrote in an- emailed note today. "The next and key resistance lies at the 81.80 area -- the April 20 high --- a break of which could be the catalyst for a move towards the March highs above 84."
Ichimoku charts are used to predict a currency's direction by analyzing the midpoints of historical highs and lows. The conversion line plots the sum of the highest high and lowest low over the last nine trading days. The baseline is the same calculation over the past 26 days.

EDR: Making Voting Easier Election Day Registration in New York
EDR: Making Voting Easier Election Day Registration in New York
April 20, 2004
R. Michael Alvarez
As policymakers, election officials, and the public consider whether New York should change the way in which voters are allowed to register to participate in elections, and bring New York State election law into compliance with the Help America Vote Act, we provide an analysis of the potential impact of election day registration (EDR) in New York. The current system of registration is one in which citizens must register 25 days before election day in order to be eligible to vote.1 Under EDR this advance registration barrier would be eliminated as citizens could register on election day.
It is important to note that our analysis of the effects of EDR on turnout is based on the experiences of other EDR states, which allow same day registration at the polling place. A legislative proposal currently under consideration in New York (A.5762) would require voters to register on election day at a location other than the polling place. Hence, the actual impact on turnout of EDR in New York is likely be less than the estimates we report here. This is because EDR in New York would entail two steps: registration at a local board of elections, and then casting a ballot at the appropriate local polling place. A second bill, A.5800, would rescind the current state constitutional requirement that voter registration take place at least 10 days before elections.
Our findings may be broadly categorized in three ways. First, EDR should help increase voter registration and turnout in New York. In particular, our analysis finds that adjusting for the effects of age, mobility, and many other factors, New York could see its long-run turnout rate increase by as much as 8.6 percentage points in presidential elections. This means that turnout in the 2000 presidential election in New York could have been as high as 59 percent if EDR had been in place.
Second, EDR is likely to make voting easier for citizens who have the most difficulty maintaining an up-to-date voter registration record in New York. Our analysis predicts as much as:
A 12.3 percentage point increase in turnout by 18-to-25-year-olds.
A 9.8 percentage point increase in turnout by those with a grade school education or less.
An 11 point increase in turnout by Latinos and an 8.7 percentage point increase in turnout by African Americans.
A 10.1 percentage point increase in turnout by those who have lived at their current address for less than six months.
A 12.2 percentage point increase in turnout by naturalized citizens.
Third, New York could mitigate or avoid the problems commonly advanced by EDR opponents: added burdens on election administration, cost, and potential voter fraud. We address these concerns below. We show that states like Minnesota and Wisconsin that currently use EDR have developed effective laws and procedures that serve to minimize or eliminate these problems. We argue that should New York move to EDR, it too could mitigate or eliminate these problems through effective laws and procedures. And there is no reason to believe that implementation, as described in A.5762, would lead to increased voter fraud.

Pirates beat Cardinals to take NL Central lead
Pirates beat Cardinals to take NL Central lead
A.J. Burnett scattered four hits over seven innings, Russell Martin hit a three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-1 on Saturday night to regain sole possession of the NL Central lead.
Neil Walker added three hits for the Pirates, who improved to 79-56 and moved within three victories of their first winning season since 1992.
Burnett (7-9) gave up one run while striking out six and walking one. He received plenty of offensive help only hours after Pittsburgh acquired first baseman Justin Morneau from the Minnesota Twins.
Morneau arrived in the Pirates' dugout in the sixth inning. By then Pittsburgh had things well in hand. Martin keyed a five-run second with his drive off Lance Lynn (13-9).

CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn says his office will work with the General Assembly to fashion concealed carry legislation that protects public safety.
Quinn's comments came one day after a federal appeals court ruled Illinois' ban is unconstitutional. The court gave lawmakers 180 days to come up with a law legalizing the concealed carry of weapons.
Speaking at a news conference in Chicago, Quinn said he'll let Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan decide whether to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The governor says he will insist any Illinois law include "reasonable restrictions," such as prohibiting people with a history of mental illness from having the weapons. He says his office will review other states' laws.
Quinn also renewed his call for a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.

August 26, 2003
Prepared by:
Federal Facilities Assessment Branch
Division of Health Assessment and Consultation
Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
Isla de Vieques (Vieques) is an island in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and is located roughly 7 miles east of the main island of Puerto Rico. Until May 1, 2003, the United States Navy (Navy) owned about half of the land on Vieques and conducted military training exercises on the east side of the island. These exercises included various types of bombing and shelling, which took place at the Live Impact Area (LIA). The residential areas of Vieques are located more than 7.9 miles west of the center of the LIA. On May 1, 2003, the Navy ceased all military training exercises at Vieques and turned its land on the eastern portion of Vieques over to the U.S. Department of Interior.
In 1999, a resident of Vieques asked ATSDR to determine whether the Navy's operations on Vieques caused residents to be exposed to levels of environmental contaminants that could present a public health hazard. For the last 3 years, ATSDR has studied this issue extensively and is publishing its findings in a series of public health assessments (PHAs). This PHA addresses the public health implications of exposure to air contaminants potentially released from Navy property.
To characterize air quality at Vieques, ATSDR identified and obtained a wide range of relevant data. Specifically, ATSDR initiated an air sampling study during a recent military training exercise and reviewed relevant studies prepared by the following parties: the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board (PREQB), several academic and independent researchers from universities and private organizations in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Navy and its contractors.
ATSDR's findings are summarized below. Later sections of this report describe how ATSDR reached these conclusions.
- Did Navy activities at Vieques release contaminants to the air? Yes. The Navy's military training exercises at Vieques released contaminants to the air, including dusts, chemical by-products of explosions, and metals. Even when exercises were not occurring, winds blew the surface soil and their constituent elements, including metals, from the LIA into the air. However, just because air emissions occurred does not mean that adverse health effects resulted among the island's residents. Rather, the key questions for this PHA are what amounts of contaminants were released, where these contaminants went, and whether people came into contact with levels of contamination that could present a public health hazard. The following conclusions present ATSDR's findings on these questions.
- On days when military training exercises did not occur, did wind-blown dust from the LIA pose a health hazard? Wind-blown dust from the LIA was not a health hazard on days without bombing exercises.
- Did contaminants released when the Navy used "practice bombs" pose a health hazard? ATSDR concludes that the Navy's previous military training exercises with practice bombs did not pose a health hazard.
- Did contaminants released when the Navy used "live bombs" pose a health hazard? No, based on the results of ATSDR's modeling analysis. Military training exercises using "live bombs" (or explosive ordnance) released many contaminants into the air, including particulate matter, chemical by-products of explosions, metals, and explosives. Because the few air samples that were collected on Vieques when the Navy used live bombs are poorly documented, the available measurements of past levels of air contamination are of unknown quality.
ATSDR's modeling considered nearly 100 different contaminants believed to be released to the air during live bombing exercises and simulated how these contaminants moved through the air. The modeling analysis predicted that chemicals emitted from bombing exercises dispersed to extremely low levels over the 7.9 miles that separate the emissions source (the LIA) and the receptor (the residential area of Vieques). For a majority of the contaminants released, the estimated concentrations in the residential areas are so low that even highly sensitive air sampling devices would likely not be able to measure them. In the case of particulate matter, for example, emissions from live bombing exercises were predicted to account for less than 1% of the concentrations of particulate matter that were recently measured in the residential areas of Vieques. This comparison suggests that emissions sources located in the residential area of Vieques–a nd not emissions from the past live bombing exercises–accounted for nearly all of the particulate matter that residents breathed in the past.
In summary, whether considering acute or chronic exposure scenarios, ATSDR's modeling estimates indicate that emissions from live bombing activities did not cause ambient air concentrations of explosion byproducts, including metals released from soil, to reach levels known to be associated with adverse health effects. ATSDR concludes, therefore, that chemicals released to the air during the past live bombing exercises did not pose a health hazard.
ATSDR acknowledges that this finding is based entirely on a modeling analysis, which has inherent uncertainties and limitations. However, as Section V.C describes, ATSDR has reason to believe that the modeling analysis has not understated exposures and public health implications. Of particular note, the approaches ATSDR used to estimate emissions of contaminants are based on, and consistent with, EPA modeling guidance and several assumptions ATSDR made likely overstate the actual emissions. These observations, combined with the fact that estimated ambient air concentrations for most contaminants considered were several orders of magnitude lower than concentrations of health concern, lead ATSDR to believe that the modeling analysis presents a reasonable account of exposures that occurred on Vieques and does not understate the exposures that residents might have experienced.
- Did chemicals released to the air during open burning or open detonation operations pose a public health hazard? The Navy previously conducted open burning and open detonation on Vieques to treat two types of waste: unused munitions (munitions that were never used in a military training exercise) and unexploded ordnance (munitions that were used in an exercise, but did not detonate). Based on waste management statistics obtained from both the Navy and EPA, ATSDR estimated levels of air pollution that open burning and open detonation operations likely caused in the residential areas of Vieques. These estimated exposure concentrations were lower than levels known to be associated with adverse health effects. Therefore, chemicals released to the air during open burning and open detonation operations on Vieques did not pose a public health hazard.
- Did the Navy's past use of depleted uranium pose a health hazard? No. To address concerns about past usage of depleted uranium on the LIA, ATSDR examined several hypothetical exposure scenarios to estimate the amount of depleted uranium that residents of Vieques might contact. Even the maximum estimated exposure to depleted uranium that a Vieques resident might realistically experience is considerably lower than levels known to cause adverse health effects. The very low levels of radiation released by depleted uranium at the LIA do not present health hazards. ATSDR's conclusion is consistent with findings published by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, which collected 114 environmental samples at Vieques and found no evidence of widespread depleted uranium contamination on the island.
- Did the Navy's past use of chaff pose a health hazard? No. During military training exercises, the Navy previously released chaff, which is aluminum coated glass fibers. Chaff was released thousands of feet in the air in order to simulate actual battlefield scenarios. Because chaff was released at such high altitudes, and never directly over the island of Vieques, only a very small fraction of the fibers used are believed to have deposited in areas where people live. To date, no air samples at Vieques found particulate matter at levels that could present a public health hazard from chaff in the air. Moreover, ATSDR investigated realistic exposure scenarios and the predicted concentrations of chaff components (e.g., aluminum) were below levels of health concern. Therefore, the Navy's past use of chaff at Vieques has not led to exposures that could present a public health hazard.

From the Eclipse Bylaws section 7.2: "responsible for the development, articulation, and maintenance of the Eclipse Platform Architecture" (as defined in the then current Eclipse Development Process)
From the Development Process: "... and ensuring the Principles of the Development Process through mentorship."
From the EAC charter: "responsible for the long-term technical health of the Eclipse platforms and frameworks (...) involves itself in inter- and intra-project architecture (...) and open source process (...) through discussion during its meetings, mentoring and consultation.", so the EAC is involved in both technical and process aspects because the social and process structure of a project has been shown to have a direct impact on the technical quality of its extensible frameworks and exemplary tools. See also Darin Swanson's Blog about the EAC.
This role for the Architecture Council represents a new (revitalized?) role for the Architecture Council and thus there is not a lot of history to build on. The Council will be as effective and useful as we make it.
The membership of the Architecture Council is listed on the councils page of the main website, which also has an index to the meeting minutes of the "old" EAC. Mentoring assignments as well as links to member Bio's can be found on the Members and Mentors page.

Call Schedule
EAC conference calls are every month on the second Thursday at 8am Pacific, 11am Eastern, 5pm European time. A reminder email will be sent to the list in advance of the calls. The call-in number is on each Agenda page (usually the standard Eclipse Foundation Conference Bridge for Project Reviews, as per the MyFoundation Portal page).
The calendar is available in the following formats:
Some interesting Items to Discuss at the EAC Calls
- Ganymede build infrastructure - how to achieve continuous integration, unit tests covering the integration of all projects, and consistency across all projects
- Early integration tests, Automated JUnit API conformance tests
- UI Consistency - when I'm not mistaken, the UI Guidelines are being reworked; how can we encourage projects to pick them up.
- Remote Development - Theoretically, EFS should be the foundation on which workspaces can be put on remote machines, and I do see a lot of interest in this -- but practically, there are some roadblocks. It's a pervasive topic since most projects are not really EFS-aware yet. How to improve the situation?
- Scripting, Macro Recording, DOMs - Another pervasive theme, if macro recording & playback is to be supported across an entire Eclipse based product, there need to be guidelines and APIs for projects to follow. It may be a multi-year multi-project effort but it may be worth getting it started.
- Security - With the number of plugins aver growing, is there a threat of trojans nesting themselves inside Eclipse? Getting a trojan or virus-like plugin into Eclipse can be extremely malicious - from spying to impersonation up to data destruction. Is it a real threat, and is there something that could / should be done?
- Project Model and Nested Projects - when developers lay out the directory structure on non-eclipse projects, they often use a tree where some directories represent projects. Those projects are "nested". This is also often related to the way the files are stored in a configuration management system. Unfortunately eclipse does not really support this real-world setup bug 35973, and this Blog by Alex Blewitt
- Integrated bug reporting: Mylyn is providing a bug/error/enhancement reporting facility that will provide a flexible and product-configurable mapping between features, bundles and bug trackers bug 212209. Once done it would be good to discuss how best for EPP and other products to consume this (Example: http://wiki.eclipse.org/images/8/86/Mylyn-Bug-Reporting-Example.jpg )
- Package visibility policies: New WTP Policy and bug 202711
- Community Development for Eclipse Projects
Resources (from the "old" EAC for now)
- EAC Mailing List Archives

Totally Tasty Tortilla Soup
Tortilla soup is one of my absolute favorite things to eat when I'm feeling a bit under the weather — which just so happens to be right now. The combination of the fresh ingredients, shredded meat and just the right amount of heat is exactly what the doctor ordered.
Some recipes call for chicken while others prefer turkey — there's no right or wrong and the flavor can be so similar you might not even notice the difference! It seems as though any lover of tortilla soup has their own spin ranging from adding butternut squash, corn or even tequila!
Here are some really great versions of totally tasty (and cold curing!) tortilla soup:
• Texas Tortilla Soup, Confections of a Foodie Bride
• Tortilla Soup, What's On My Plate
• Turkey Tortilla Soup, Laylita's Recipes
• Butternut Squash Tortilla Soup, Bitchin' Camero
• Sopa de Lima — Mexican Lime and Tortilla Soup, Soup Chick

U.S. stocks fell as concern about the federal budget debate overshadowed a rally in retailers after Home Depot Inc.'s earnings beat estimates. Treasuries gained while commodities retreated.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index closed down 0.4 percent at 1,374.54 as of 4 p.m. in New York after a 0.6 percent morning rally. Yields on 10-year U.S. notes lost two basis points to 1.59 percent, while the dollar strengthened against 13 of 16 major peers. The S&P GSCI Index of commodities dropped 0.2 percent as declines in coffee, gold and oil overshadowed a rally in natural gas to a one-year high.
A majority of Americans expect the U.S. to go over the fiscal cliff at the beginning of 2013 and would blame Republicans if it happens, according to a poll published today. Concern about the automatic spending cuts and tax increases, triggered if a budget deal isn't reached, has weighed on the market since voters re-elected President Barack Obama and Republicans held control of the House in last week's elections.
"The market waits to see what Congress and the administration will do on the fiscal cliff," said Tom Mangan, who helps oversee about $3.6 billion as a money manager at James Investment Research Inc. in Xenia, Ohio. "The market will react to each soundbite coming out of Washington on light volume until something definite comes out," he said. "In the absence of the macro issues, Home Depot would have led the market higher by a large amount."
Yield Curve
Treasury 10-year note yields touched a two-month low earlier as trading resumed after the Veterans Day holiday. The difference between the yield on the two-year note and the 10- year security narrowed to the least in two months, signaling anticipation of slower economic growth.
The S&P 500 is down almost 4 percent since the Nov. 6 elections set up a showdown between Obama and the Republican- controlled House of Representatives over the budget. The president meets Democratic and Republican leaders in Congress this week. Lawmakers need to reach a deal in order to avert $607 billion in spending cuts and tax increases starting in January, an outcome that many economists predict would cause a recession.
Cliff Poll
A survey by the Pew Research Center and the Washington Post found 51 percent of those polled said they don't think Obama and Congress will be able to agree on a package to replace the automatic measures agreed to in previous negotiations. Thirty-eight percent said they expected Obama and Congress to cut a deal.
The economy is already being damaged by concern about the budget, said Brian Moynihan, president and chief executive officer of Bank of America Corp.

Hi all. I just registered with AO within the last week, so I wanted to briefly introduce myself.
I'm more or less a security newbie (now at least) who's very interested in the field. I took a class on it at school, but it only really
scratched the surface. I'm looking to learn as much as I can for a possible career, so any directions and guidence would be much appreciated.
I have some networking experience and limited programming experience with C and Java, so I'm not totally green, but close. :-) Just looking to
build on a small foundation. I figured a great place to do so would be a site with 100,000+ users now!!
As for OSes, I use Win 98, and Red Hat 7.2. Currently having trouble getting RH back on, but that should be fixed soon.

PSYC 331 Development Psychology: Adolescence (1)
Developmentalists regard adolescence as a qualitatively special period/state of life which is different than prior childhood or future adult maturity. In contrast, some social historians see adolescence as a recent phenomenon shaped by industrialization and extended formal education which may be more apparent than real. Our interest is concerned with what adolescence means for our times. We will look at how general psychological theories interpret adolescence. We will also consider general issues young people deal with (family, school, employment, etc.), as well as special problems that some adolescents face (ethnic status, gender perspectives, and poverty).

LONDON (AP) — British Foreign Secretary William Hague has arrived in Baghdad to urge Iraqi politicians to unite against the "existential threat" from Sunni insurgents.
Hague said the country must form an inclusive government across sectarian lines to unite Iraqis against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL.
According to a statement from his office Thursday, Hague said the militant group that has seized swathes of Iraq was a "mortal threat" to the country and threatened others in the region.
Britain has ruled out military intervention, but Hague said it would provide "diplomatic, counter-terrorism and humanitarian support."
Hague is due to meet with embattled Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki, Kurdish regional President Masoud Barzani and other political figures.
Al-Maliki is under pressure to step down and form an interim unity government.

I've decided to give some Salsa bell laps a whirl. I'll post how I get on.
I'm making my cycling comeback after breaking both wrists 9 months ago. The right was smashed to pieces and now fused ( 5 operations, 6 plates, 26 screws - all Ti though ) Pesky Mountain bike crash you see.
For the foreseeable future I will be sticking to the road bike and I am looking for any little tweak that will make riding easier on the wrists. So far I have done my own video assessment of my position, double wrapped my bartape and started using 661 wrists-wraps for support. http://tinyurl.com/chfsscr
I'm thinking bars now. I have easton EA50 bars http://tinyurl.com/bpyppz2 44cm right now. I have dabbled with a Mungo bar from on one which I kinda like but it will quite frankly ruin the look of my Equilibrium (for this is my 'good' bike).
Does anyone have any top tips for bars that may offer more comfort than a standard drop bar? Or any other top tips from your broken-wrist experience!

Sam Maloof, 1916-2009
Designer and builder of elegant but simple iconic furniture.
By John Economaki
Pages: 42-43
From the December 2009 issue #180
Buy this issue now
Sam Maloof is the reason I became a furniture maker. I used to teach shop in the early 1970s. The Portland (Ore.)Public Schools maintained an audio/video depository for teachers and in those days most of the technical choices were film strips with the requisite recording that beeped when it was time to roll forward. Dorky. The heat from the projector was unbearable.
My woodshop "classroom" was small and consisted of a series of tiered benches surrounded by windows reinforced by chicken wire – a needed safety measure to protect students from the occasional explosions in the adjacent welding lab.
Sometime in 1974 I noticed a film titled "Sam Maloof: Woodworker" and ordered it for review. The next day after classes, I rolled in the projector and watched a movie about a woodworker who was unknown to me. It is probably important to mention that I was 23 years old and 1,800 miles from home.

Following Ireland
Portugal's 10-year yield fell below 6% in January for the first time since 2010, encouraging the nation to follow Ireland in selling bonds via banks. The nation sold 2.5 billion euros of five-year notes at a yield of 4.891% on Jan. 23, the first offering of that maturity since February 2011.
About 93% of the five-year securities were sold to overseas investors, including 33% to the U.S. and 29% to the U.K., the debt agency said. About 60% were taken up by asset managers and 24% by hedge funds.
"We've already been able to totally finance our needs for this year and are starting the pre-financing for 2014 to ensure that we are in condition to successfully exit the adjustment program," Gaspar said. "The 10-year maturity is very important because it completes the yield curve and so completes our process of returning to bond markets."
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said in September debt purchases may be considered for euro-area countries currently under bailout programs, such as Portugal, Greece and Ireland, when they regain bond-market access. Outright Monetary Transactions "would not apply to countries that are under a full adjustment program until full market access will be obtained," Draghi said Oct. 4.
More Issuance
"Regarding OMT eligibility, I think that Portugal not only needs to issue in more points of the curve but also more than one time per point of the curve, like Draghi hinted over the last press conferences," said Ricardo Santos, an economist at BNP Paribas SA in London.
Prime Minister Pedro Passos Coelho on May 3 announced measures intended to generate savings of about 4.8 billion euros through 2015 that include reducing the number of state workers as he tries to meet deficit targets.
The spending cuts will allow Portugal to complete the seventh review of its bailout plan and secure an extension of rescue loans that was agreed upon in principle on April 12 by EU finance ministers meeting in Dublin.
Rescue Loans
Ireland and Portugal both received rescue loans from two different programs: The EU-wide European Financial Stabilization Mechanism and the euro-area's temporary firewall, the European Financial Stability Facility.
The seven-year extension to maturities of EFSM and EFSF aid loans to Portugal and Ireland implies an increase in the average maturity of Portugal's total debt to about 8.5 years from about seven years, debt agency IGCP said on April 19. The maturity extension is "likely to be especially focused in lengthening the maturity of the loans originally maturing in 2016-2022," which total about 22 billion euros, according to IGCP.
Portuguese bonds returned 5.8% this year through yesterday, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. Spain's rose 8.6% and Germany's gained 0.8%.
The extra yield investors demand to hold Portugal's 10-year bonds instead of German bunds has narrowed to 4.21 percentage points today from a euro-era record of 16 percentage points in January 2012.

The muscle formation in the legs of most animals makes for tough, stringy meat. Confit involves cooking slowly, which allows these formations to break down and yield a luscious result. The added dimension of grilling or searing it in a skillet provides a brilliant smoky char that takes this dish to new levels.–Michael Psilakis
LC Options Galore Note
The talented, gracious, and pragmatic author of this recipe, Michael Psilakis, was generous enough to share a few more ways to experience rabbit confit…
– Lightly cure the meat before making it into a confit: mix 3 tablespoons kosher salt with 1 tablespoon sugar. Rub the mixture all over the pieces and place on a rack in your refrigerator overnight, uncovered. Rinse well and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels before you begin the confit.
– Leftover rabbit confit makes the very best deep-fried rabbit you'll ever have: Just smear the pieces with Dijon mustard and then bread them as you would for deep-frying, using milk, flour, beaten egg, bread crumbs or panko. Fry until golden brown.
– You may strain the rabbit-infused confit cooking oil and use it to make a quick vinaigrette or to roast some mushrooms to serve alongside. The oil will add another dimension of flavor.
Rabbit Confit
- Quick Glance
- Serves 4 to 6
- 1 whole rabbit, skinned and cut into 8 pieces
- 1 shallot, peeled
- 10 cloves garlic, peeled
- 3 fresh bay leaves or 6 dried
- 8 cloves
- 15 to 20 whole black peppercorns
- 8 star anise pods
- 16 juniper berries
- 6 cardamom pods
- 10 sprigs thyme
- 4 sprigs rosemary
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (yellow or brown)
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
- About 3 to 6 cups or so oil (I usually use a blend of 90 percent canola and 10 percent extra-virgin olive, although you can change that to 50 percent canola and 50 percent olive oil.)
- Lemon wedges, for squeezing
- 1. Preheat the oven to 300°F (148° C). Rinse the rabbit under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels.
- 2. In a heavy lidded 4-quart or larger pot or a large Dutch oven, combine the rabbit with the shallot, garlic cloves, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, star anise pods, juniper berries, cardamom pods, thyme, rosemary, mustard seeds, and 1 tablespoon of kosher salt. Add enough oil to cover the meat by about half an inch. Place a piece of parchment paper cut to fit your pot on the surface of the oil. Cover the pot with its lid and transfer to the oven. Check the contents of the pot occasionally—the oil should never come to a full simmer. You may need to reduce the heat. Cook until the meat is tender but not falling apart, about 3 hours. Remove the pot from the oven. (To make the confit in advance, you can cool the rabbit to room temperature and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days. You must slowly heat the pieces in confit oil in a warm oven before grilling or searing, otherwise the center will be cold.)
- 3. Preheat a charcoal or gas grill or ridged cast-iron grill pan until hot but not smoking. Lift the pieces out of the confit oil and season with pepper. Reserve the oil until serving time. Lightly sear the meat just long enough to warm it and imbue it with a smoky char flavor (remember, the rabbit is already cooked, you just want to warm it through).
- 4. Drizzle the meat with a little of the confit oil and squeeze a wedge of lemon over it.

Around Town
Get started with Cappex to compare the Scripps College weather with your hometown!Create an account now!
Check out the gym and the pool (yes they have a pool).Read More
Being part of the consortium there's always something to do on campus. Whether you're into partying at night, salsa dancing, movie marathons, camping, attending concerts, or hearing a speaker there's always options at one of the five campuses. It's hard to be bored in Claremont.Read More
Scripps' social scene is very intertwined with the other 4 Claremont Colleges. We get an email from student government on Thursday that tells us what is going on, on all the 5 Claremont schools that weekend. It includes movie screenings, poetry slams, parties, concerts, etc. All of the events are open to students across the 5 Claremont Colleges so it is really up to you what you want to do and where you want to go. Most people stay on campus for the weekends becuase there is so much to do but it is also easy to get off campus. Claremont the town is super cute and has really good restaurants - it is also only a 7 minute walk away. There is also a metro stop in Claremont that takes you directly to downtown LA where you can find just about anything. Scripps also sponsors off campus trips to the beach, disney land, nearby shopping places, etc so if you don't have a car it's pretty easy to get around as well.Read More
Most parties happen off campus. This is how Scripps dorms stay beautiful, quiet, and clean. Scripps does have a lot of other fun, non-party events on-campus though, and we hear about them from a weekly email that SAS (Scripps Associated Students) sends to every student. A lot of students are involved in a cappella and ballroom dancing, and intramural sports are pretty popular (Scripps has innertube water polo and Quidditch, alongside the more traditional options). Twice a year, there's a massive, 5C game of Humans versus Zombies.Read More
There is so much going on at the 5C's (the 5 Claremont Colleges) that you can't possibly do everything you would like to. From instructional dance nights (from Ballroom to Beyonce) to DJ'd parties in the parking garage, there are social events for every taste. One of the great aspects of being part of the consortium is the expanded social scene (yes, you can meet men), so it doesn't feel too small or too big. It can also be fun to explore the different social scenes at each of the other four colleges. The Claremont Village is just a short walk away, and a great college town. There are some thrift shops and small stores in town, but with a car, you can get to the three large shopping malls in the area, or you can take the metro into LA. The Student Activities Office also runs regular (free!) trips to the beach, and heavily discounted trips to Disneyland and shows at the Pantages Theater.Read More
There is a club for anything, and if there isn't--you can make one. Relaxing on campus is also a favorite of students; the sun is almost always out and each campus has its own beautiful and unique style. Being in Southern California also provides a lot of options for your free time. You can go to the beach, go to the city, or go the mountains. Also, the party scene at the 5C's is bumpin!Read More
There are lots of fun things to do at Scripps. On nice sunny days, many Scripps students head over to the Tiernan Field House, our gym, to swim, tan, and hang out with friends. Many of us also take a walk to the village to shop in the vintage shops or go eat frozen yoghurt.Read More
I tutor children who are under served in the community. I also do unpaid research on campus. Hanging out with friends and going into town is about all you have time for.Read More
Claremont isn't much of a happening town. The village is a student favorite for its cute shops, mostly catered to the elderly of the town. Prices aren't student-tailored either, so be prepared to join the zip car program or bring your own car or rely on public transport to go to the nearest Target or shopping mall. For fun, there are parties held literally every week except finals on every campus starting Wednesday nights. The usual parties are PUB (Wednesday nights at Pomona's DOM lounge , an underground room with some DJ spinning some tunes and a keg of beer and Thursdays, CMC's TNC (thursday night club) sometimes open to all 5 c's)Read More
