Aloo Peyaajkoli'r torkari is a very simple Bengali dish. The kind you would never ever think of blogging about or reading if it is somewhere out there. It is one of those things with minimum of ingredients and clean taste. Nothing complex, no overlay of layers of tastes, no come-look-at-me attitude.Humble. A trait we seem to be heavily lacking in these days. Growing up in an Bengali Indian home, one of the many life lessons we were taught as a child included de-boning a fish and to be humble -- "binoy" as they say in Bangla. And humble here does not mean "low" or "meek". It means modest, unpretentious, self effacing.
"Porashuno korcho, binoyi hote shekho. Vidya dadati Vinayam ", Ma would say in a sharp voice if I so much as tried to display any signs otherwise. Knowledge brings humility, she said.
Slowly as the world order started to change, "humble" lost its place value. It was no longer the thing to be. You had to be bold, brash, self-promoting, updating your status on Facebook with your latest acquisition and linkedin with your achievement.
"If you got it, flaunt it", became the new age Sanskrit mantra. Binoy can go take a walk. To BBD Bagh.
Maybe it made sense.If your car did not have a bumper sticker that read "My daughter is an Honor Roll Student", how in the world were the other cars' drivers to know. If you did not tell the world how great you are, who really had the time to go verify for themselves.If you at all went to Pattaya, what was the point if no one "Liked" it on Facebook. The onus now was on you.
Now honestly I am not sure which is good, what was best. I myself keep on posting pictures of the modest food I have cooked at home with adjectives like fragrant and delicious, so who am I to judge. But as everything goes in a cycle I am sure "humble" will one day find its place back in the charts again. So will simple dishes like "aloo-peyaajkoli bhaja".
Till then let me tell the husband-man how lucky he is to have me. Even after all these years, that guy just refuses to understand.
Now though I am saying Peyaajkoli, there is some confusion regarding this veggie. Peyaajkoli is actually the bud of the onion plant. What me and about 80% of people use is though the green onion/scallion which is the leafy part of the onion plant.
Though this aloo peyaajkoli bhaja is the most common dish with this veggie, I also make a Piyajkolir Tarkari that is similar but has shrimps. Sunetra's peyaajkoli maach with fish and green onion , that we made last year is another very popular dish in our home these days. The green shimmering peyaajkoli was a popular winter vegetable and hot ruti off the tawa with this tarkari was a staple in many a winter evenings in our home.
Chop a bunch of green onion/scallion to small pieces. I did not have much of green onions left today but it is best to have same quantity as the potatoes.
Chop 2 medium potatoes to small cubes
Heat Mustard oil in a fry pan.
Temper the oil with 1/2 tsp KaloJeere/kalonji and a dry red chili.
Once the kalo jeere hisses and shows its temper add the cubed potatoes. Sprinkle about 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and fry the potatoes.Sprinkle little water and cover to let the potatoes cook. Remove the cover and stir in-between. Ideally the potatoes should have been fried in more oil but in my daily cooking I try to use less oil , in that path this cover-cook works well and fast.
When the potatoes have softened a tad(not cooked yet) add the peyaaj koli/scallion. Give a good stir and mix with the potatoes. Add about 1/2 tsp Kashmiri Mirch(or Red Chilli powder) and salt to taste.
Fry till the scallion wilts. Now cover and cook till potatoes are fully done. There will be some water released from the scallions which will help in the cooking. But remember to check and give agood stor in between.
Once the dish is done enjoy with rice or ruti.

Lawmakers in Cyprus are trying to ease rage over a proposed tax on all bank deposits by exempting people who have relatively small accounts. It's part of a bailout plan for that Mediterranean country negotiated with the E.U. and IMF over the weekend, but the compromise on taxes may not be enough for Cyprus' parliament to pass the plan.
It's the first time in the euro crisis that people's savings are being used to help finance a bailout, and that's causing not only panic in Cyprus, but also the eurozone and Russia, which has billions in deposits. It's the subject of today's Bottom-line in Business.
For more, we're joined by reporter Joanna Kakissis in Athens.
Good morning, Joanna. And let me just start with what the government there in Cyprus is doing to calm people down over this tax.
JOANNA KAKISSIS, BYLINE: Well, today, they're talking about exempting those people who make $20,000 euros - which is about $26,000 - from the tax. So they wouldn't pay anything at all. And this is - the idea for this is to just get people off the idea that, oh, my God. This is highway robbery. This is legalized robbery, and we have to find a way to stop it. There's a lot of opposition to the tax.
However, it does still stand that people who have more than 100,000 euros in the bank, that they'll still have to pay at least 7 percent on it.
MONTAGNE: Of course, if the parliament there in Cyprus does approve it. But talking about those people who have more money in the bank, talk to us about this - the Russian deposits. It's an enormous sum - $30 billion, I gather.
KAKISSIS: Yeah, that's correct. I mean, Russian investors have had decades of history in Cyprus. They've been bringing in their money to the island for a long time. And so they're very freaked out at the prospect of losing what could amount to a lot of money.
And so, you know, President Vladimir Putin called the law dangerous, and he's been very vocal against it. His government has been very vocal against it. But, you know, Russians - if Russians pull their money out of Cyprus, Cyprus is going to have a huge problem, not only in terms of capital, but in terms of their banks. I mean, their banks are going to be in a lot of trouble if the Russians just leave. And in - business-wise, they can't lose the Russians, either. They're a very, very important relationship for the Cypriots.
So Germany is providing most of the bailout loans. So because they are the, essentially, the paymaster in this bailout, they're very concerned about what they're - who they're bailing out. And in this case, they don't want to be bailing out Russian oligarchs. And that's how they view Russian investors at this point, because Cyprus is viewed as an offshore haven for investors, including Russians. So the German taxpayers are saying: Why would should we bail out some rich Russian billionaire with a seaside home in Cyprus when we have problems of our own, and when there are people who are more important than him?
MONTAGNE: So, Cyprus had a bank holiday. It's declared until Thursday. What will stop people from panicking as soon as banks open?
KAKISSIS: What the president of Cyprus, Nicos Anastasiades, has offered is essentially a bond link to revenue from natural gas reserves. And they've been discovered offshore in - offshore of Cyprus - off the coast of Cyprus fairly recently. And these could be potentially very, very lucrative, because the country could make billions off these - off the natural gas reserves.
And so what he's saying, essentially, is, look. Stick with me. This is the right course. If you keep your money in our banks for the next two years and don't take them out, you will get it back, and you'll get back a lot more than you had in the first place.
It's a way to try to keep people calm and committed to the policy that Cyprus is trying to put forth, however flawed it is.
MONTAGNE: Joanna Kakissis, speaking to us from Athens. Thanks very much.
KAKISSIS: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Washington – President Obama's anticipated reform of the National Security Agency's practices needs to go beyond ending the mass surveillance of innocent Americans' phone calls. He should force the agency to think less about the quantity of information it gathers and more about the quality.
Obama should ignore the choir of apologists singing in lamentation over the beastly way the NSA is being treated. I refer to voices such as that of Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., who on Monday accused Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. — and, by extension, all the agency's critics — of "trying to create this paranoia among Americans that the NSA is spying on everyone."
In fact, the NSA is spying on everyone by keeping a detailed log of our private phone calls. This practice was sanctioned by secret court rulings that stretched the words of the Constitution and the Patriot Act beyond recognition. We couldn't challenge these rulings because we weren't allowed to know about them. When asked last March whether any such blanket domestic surveillance was taking place, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper lied to Congress and said no. In what universe is it "paranoia" to be angry about all of this?
King and the rest of the NSA chorus blame whistleblower Edward Snowden for getting the agency in trouble over the phone surveillance and other rogue practices, such as eavesdropping on the cellphone conversations of German Chancellor Angela Merkel and secretly tapping into the data streams of major Internet providers. But Snowden just revealed these abuses. It was the NSA that committed them — and brought this world of hurt on itself.
The Review Group on Intelligence and Communications Technologies — one of two blue-ribbon panels Obama appointed to examine the NSA mess — recommended that the agency stop compiling its comprehensive log of domestic phone calls. This information should be kept by the phone companies or some third party, the review group said, and the government should have to obtain warrants to search it.
Obama should go further and ask why the agency needs to assemble all that information in the first place. I don't think there's a good answer.
The review group found that the phone call data "was not essential to preventing attacks." One member of the panel, former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell, subsequently said that he thought the phone-data program "would likely have prevented" the 9/11 attacks, but he did not offer evidence to back up this assertion.
U.S. District Judge Richard Leon ruled last month that the collection of phone data was likely unconstitutional. Two weeks later, however, U.S. District Judge William Pauley ruled in a separate case that the program was legal. Pauley went so far as to detail how he believed the phone data could have allowed authorities to prevent 9/11 — essentially, by revealing that one of the hijackers, Khalid al-Mihdhar, was in the United States.
But Lawrence Wright, author of "The Looming Tower," a highly acclaimed book about the 9/11 attacks, argues in The New Yorker that Pauley's reasoning is flawed. Mihdhar was already on the CIA's roster of al-Qaeda suspects. The CIA knew that he had a U.S. visa and that his friend and traveling companion, another hijacker named Nawaf al-Hamzi, was in the United States.
The problem was that the CIA didn't pass along this information to the FBI, which conducts domestic terrorism investigations. An existing — and entirely appropriate — court order allowed the FBI to conduct basically whatever kind of surveillance it wanted on known or suspected al-Qaeda members. But the bureau wasn't told that Mihdhar was in the country.
This story illustrates what I think is the big problem with the NSA's vacuum-cleaner method of gathering intelligence. Assembling massive amounts of data may create the illusion of total awareness, but it doesn't tell you who the terrorists are or what they might be up to.
In every example of thwarted attacks cited by NSA apologists, analysts searched the data for previously identified individuals or phone numbers. So why on earth does the agency need to store my phone records, and yours, when it can quickly obtain a court order instructing the phone companies to turn over information about communications involving known or suspected terrorists?
Collecting and storing unbelievable amounts of useless information is easy. Machines do all the work. Analyzing and sharing the right tidbits of pertinent information is hard, but that's the best way to prevent future attacks — and that's what Obama should tell the NSA to do.

How close are we to the end? How close are we to being among the last humans to ever live? Depending on who you are — your religion, politics, relative degree of pessimism or optimism — that question is bound to bring up images of some particular kind of cataclysm. It could be an all-out nuclear exchange or a climate change-driven mass extinction. But what if there was a way of answering the doomsday question in the most generic way possible.
What if there was a mathematical way of addressing doomsday that had nothing to do with politics or policies or perspective? More importantly: What if that approach already existed and it told us we were already close to the end?
Consider this your introduction to the Doomsday Argument.
The rather ominous term "Doomsday Argument" refers to a line of reasoning that seeks to answer a simple question: Where is our place in the total number of human beings that will ever be born?
Are we close to the beginning, so that 95 percent of all humans that will ever be born have yet to be born? Or are we close to the end, such that 95 percent of all human beings who will ever be born have already been born? Using only arguments from probability theory and population growth, the relentless logic of the Doomsday Argument tells us that we are probably already near the end of the line.
In 1983, astrophysicist Brandon Carter was the first person to see how the Doomsday Argument worked (more on that in a minute). Philosopher John Leslie then worked further on the idea, which was also independently discovered by a number of others, including physicist Richard Gott in a famous article in the journal Nature. I am telling you this so you know that, as crazy as it all sounds, lots of folks have been looking seriously at the Doomsday Argument (including many detractors) to understand what it's really telling us.
To see how the argument works, let's start with really nice analogy developed over at the blog In the Dark (I modify it slightly here). Imagine you arrive in a large city and are immediately approached by a hospitality officer wearing a red badge who welcomes you and tells you that if you need anything, just ask someone with badge similar to hers. You think, "How wonderful," thank her and then notice that the number on her badge is 42. As she walks away, you wonder how many more officers like her are employed by the city.
You know nothing about the city (other than it's big), nor do you know its budget for hospitality officers. Can you answer your questions with just her badge number? The answer is yes, probably.
If there were 20,000 hospitality officers out there, then a random encounter would, on average, yield the observation of a badge with a five-digit number. But you saw only two digits on her badge. That means it is far more likely that there are only about 100 or so hospitality workers. All you need for this conclusion is one piece of information (the badge number) and a little basic probability. So far, so good — but where does doomsday show up in all this?
What we really want to know is the total number of humans that will ever be born together with our approximate place in that birth order (as in "at the beginning" vs. "near the end"). So instead of asking about the number of hospitality officials, what we want to know is the number of human beings that will ever exist. The same kind of logic, however, still works.
Just assume that you are a randomly chosen member from the sequence of all humans (like assuming that your encounter with Officer 42 was random). Let's call your birth number "n." By the same reasoning as our hospitality officer example, you should conclude that the total number of humans ever born (call that "N") is not wildly larger than your birth number n. If you are the lucky 1 billionth human to be born, then probabilistically, there won't be a trillion more after you. Now, (gulp) consider that our population growth is such that we will be adding billions more folks over the next century or so. That means there are only a few more generations to go before we reach N — the total number of humans.
Conclusion: The end is near!
So, what are we to make of the Doomsday Argument? Is it convincing enough for us all to throw in the towel, sell our investments and party like it's 1999 (or 2012 or whatever)? When most of us first hear the argument, we think there must be something wrong, some hook, some incorrect turn of reasoning being missed. Certainly those who disagree with its logic have argued that point strenuously. The critics may well be right, and I will leave you to make your own decisions about its validity. But there is something much more important hidden in the Doomsday Argument to which we must pay attention, and it's not about death but about life.
At the frontiers of science, philosophy and knowledge, there are many questions where the ability to reason is hampered by the fact that we have only one example to work with. We want to understand the universe but we have only one universe to study. We understand how life forms on planets but we only know of one planet on which life has formed. We want to understand the nature of symbol-rich self-consciousness but it seems like we are the only things around that have it.
So, what are we to do if we want to ask more general questions about any of these phenomena? The Doomsday Argument shows us an extreme example of one way it can be done. While you might not agree with the argument, its kind of reasoning can be associated with the Bayes interpretation of probability (more on that some other day). The Bayesian revolution is radically changing how probability gets invoked and how we can use it to say amazing things from whatever information we are given. And it's on that note that I will let Mark Twain take us out: "There is something fascinating about science. One gets such wholesale returns of conjecture out of such a trifling investment of fact."

text: ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Every big shot Wisconsin needed, Frank Kaminsky hit. The 7-footer carried Wisconsin to the Final Four with 28 points, including six in overtime, as the Badgers defeated Arizona 64-63 in a physical West Region final Saturday night. Kaminsky had 11 rebounds and scored from inside and outside, including three 3-pointers, for the No. 2 seed Badgers (30-7). Its Wisconsins first Final Four appearance since 2000, and first for 69-year-old coach Bo Ryan, who earned his 704th career victory. "We want a national championship now," Kaminsky said. "We have made it to the opportunity to get there, so why not go get it?" Ryan had a long tradition of attending the Final Four as a spectator with his father, who died in August. "Today would have been my dads 90th birthday," he said. "I just thought Id throw that in." Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers joined the locker room celebration, telling the Badgers hed been following them all season. Kaminsky proved the only reliable scorer on a night when the rest of the Badgers disappeared offensively. Sam Dekker was 2 for 5, Ben Brust went 2 for 7, Traevon Jackson was 4 of 14 and Nigel Hayes was 2 of 8. "Their big guy really had a great game," Arizonas Nick Johnson said. "He raised his level." Johnson had the ball with a chance to win, but he missed a shot that launched just after the buzzer for Arizona (33-5), the top-seeded team that has yet to win a West Region final in Anaheim in four tries. Johnson led the Wildcats with 16 points, and Aaron Gordon had 18 rebounds in the relentlessly physical game. It was the record-tying seventh OT game of this years tournament. Johnson stood with his hands on his hips, staring straight ahead, while Kaminsky and the rest of the Badgers rushed to celebrate. "I wish I would have taken one less dribble, get the shot off, give us a little chance," Johnson said. Jackson added 10 points for the Badgers, and Kaminsky was chosen as most outstanding player of the West Region, part of a breakout season for the junior with the deadpan sense of humour. "They tell me hes funnier that he used to be, and his eyes are more wide open now," Ryan said. "If you see him sitting sometimes you think, Oh, look, Franks asleep. Hes not asleep. But hes got that sleepy look." Kaleb Tarczewski scored 12 points and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson had 10 points for the Wildcats, who were trying to get coach Sean Miller to the Final Four for his first time. Instead, Miller was sent to the sidelines on the same day his younger brother Archies Dayton Flyers lost to Florida in the South Region final. "When you lose, its like a car crashes," Miller said. "Its just -- youre done." The first 40 minutes were a back-and-forth struggle between the only 1-2 seeds remaining in the regionals, with neither team leading by more than three points over the final 12:09 of regulation. Overtime was even more dramatic, with Arizona having an answer for just about everything Wisconsin did. Brust hit a 3-pointer to put the Badgers up at the start of the extra session; Gordon answered with a 3 to tie it up again at 57. Kaminsky scored inside and Gordon dunked at the other end for another tie. Kaminskys jumper and a free throw by Josh Gasser gave Wisconsin a 62-59 lead. Tarczewskis two free throws and Jordin Mayes tip-in drew the Wildcats to 64-63 with 58 seconds left. T. J. McConnells jumper missed, but Arizona got the offensive rebound and found Johnson, who missed and got called for the push-off on Gasser with 3 seconds left. "I thought it was a really, really tough call," Miller said. "Im going to stop there. Ive already been fined." Wisconsin inbounded on the baseline, and a scramble ensued in front of Arizonas bench with 2 seconds left. The initial call gave the ball to the Badgers. The referees viewed replays for several minutes before deciding Wisconsin touched the ball last. "It was the longest minutes of my life," Hayes said. Ryan said, "Mainly we spent most of it knowing that it wasnt going to be our ball." That call set up the final play, with Pac-12 player of the year Johnson unable to bail out the Wildcats. "I knew he wasnt going to pass it with only two seconds on the clock," Gasser said. "It was a good battle out there, and fortunately, he didnt make a play there." Fake Yeezy 350 v2 White .

It is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the access rights to the Site of repeat infringers.
The Site contains links to other websites that may not be owned or operated by us. The fact that we may link to those websites does not indicate any approval or endorsement of those websites. We have no control over those websites. We are not responsible for the content of those websites, or the privacy practices of those websites. We strongly encourage you to become familiar with the terms of use and practices of any linked website. Your use of other websites is at your own risk and is subject to the terms of those websites. It is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you download (whether from the Site or other sites) is free of viruses, worms, Trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs and other items of a destructive nature.
Parental Controls
We cannot prohibit minors from visiting our Site, and must rely on parents and guardians to decide what materials are appropriate for children to view and purchase. There are parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. You can find information about parental controls at http://onguardonline.gov . We do not endorse the products or services listed at this website.
Access from Outside the United States
The Site is directed to people residing in the United States. We do not represent that Content available on or through the Site is appropriate or available in other locations. We may limit the availability of the Site or any service or product described on the Site to any person or geographic area at any time. If you choose to access the Site from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk.
Ticket Purchases
We act as the agent to those who provide events, such as venues, teams, artist representatives and fan clubs, promoters and leagues ("Event Providers"). Tickets obtained from unauthorized sources may be lost, stolen or counterfeit, and if so are void. We sell tickets on behalf of Event Providers, which means we do not set the ticket prices or determine seating locations. If you do not receive a confirmation number (in the form of a confirmation page or email) after submitting payment information, or if you experience an error message or service interruption after submitting payment information, it is your responsibility to confirm whether or not your order has been placed. Only you may be aware of any problems that may occur during the purchase process. We will not be responsible for losses (monetary or otherwise) if you assume that an order was not placed because you failed to receive confirmation.
Tickets purchased on our Site are typically subject to a per ticket service fee and a non-refundable per order processing fee. In many cases, delivery prices will also be owed. You may be limited to a specified number of tickets for each event (also known as a "ticket limit"). This ticket limit is posted during the purchase process and is verified with every transaction. This policy is in effect to discourage unfair ticket buying practices. We reserve the right to cancel any or all orders and tickets without notice to you if you exceed the posted limits. This includes orders associated with the same name, e-mail address, billing address, credit card number or other information.
Orders are processed only after a billing address, and other billing information, has been verified. Occasionally, we receive incorrect billing or credit card account information for a ticket order that can delay processing and delivery. In these cases, we will attempt to contact you, using the information provided at the time of purchase. If we are unable to reach you after our initial attempt, we may cancel your order and may sell your tickets to another customer without further notice.
Different combinations of delivery methods may be offered, depending on factors that include the venue or country where the event is to be held, the country in which you live, how much time is left before the event starts, whether it is a holiday season and the nature of the demand for the event. Please carefully review the list of delivery methods offered during the purchase process. For security purposes, we can only ship tickets to the billing address on file with the credit card company that is used for your purchase.
Opening acts or guests may sometimes tour with headlining performers. We are not always made aware of opening acts or the length of their performances. Opening acts, as well as festival performers, are subject to change or cancellation at any time without notice. No refund will be owed if an opening act or festival performer is changed or canceled.
Occasionally, concerts are canceled or postponed. Should this occur, we will attempt to contact you to inform you of refund or exchange procedures for that concert. For exact instructions on any canceled or postponed concert, please check the concert information online or contact us. If the event was moved or rescheduled, the Event Provider may set refund limitations. Please contact us for more information or to request a refund if you cannot attend the rescheduled event. Please make sure to include/provide your account number so we can expedite your refund if applicable.
Before purchasing tickets, carefully review your event and seat selection. Policies set forth by Event Providers generally prohibit us from issuing exchanges or refunds after a ticket has been purchased or for lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed tickets.
You agree that you will not attempt to evade, avoid, or circumvent any refund prohibitions in any manner with regard to tickets you purchased. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not contact us to seek a refund or exchange from us when we are prohibited from providing one by its clients, and you will not dispute or otherwise seek a "chargeback" from the company whose credit card you used to purchase tickets from the Site. Should you do so, your tickets may be canceled, and we may, in its sole discretion, refuse to honor pending and future ticket purchases made from all credit card accounts or online accounts on which such chargebacks have been made, and may prohibit all persons in whose name the credit card accounts exist and any person who accesses any associated online account or credit card or who otherwise breaches this provision from using the Site.
If we issue you a refund for a ticket due to a canceled or postponed event, we will issue a refund of the ticket's face value paid (or, for a discounted ticket, then instead the discounted ticket price paid), less service fees. In no event will service fees, handling and delivery charges, or any other amounts be refunded. If a refund is issued, it will be issued using the same method of payment that was used to purchase the tickets. We will not be liable for travel or any other expenses that you or anyone else incurs in connection with a canceled or postponed event.
If the amount you pay for a ticket is incorrect regardless of whether because of an error in a price posted on this Site or otherwise communicated to you, or you are able to order a ticket before its scheduled on-sale or presale date or you are able to order a ticket that was not supposed to have been released for sale, then we will have the right to cancel that ticket (or the order for that ticket) and refund to you the amount that you paid. This will apply regardless of whether because of human error or a transactional malfunction.
Event Providers reserve the right, without refund of any amount paid, to refuse admission to, or eject, any person whose conduct management deems disorderly, who uses vulgar or abusive language or who fails to comply with Event Provider rules. Breach of terms or rules will terminate your license to attend the event without refund. A ticket is a revocable license and admission may be refused upon refunding the ticket's face amount. A ticket is not redeemable for cash.
You agree that the event for which you purchase tickets is a public event, that your appearance and actions inside and outside the venue where the event occurs are public in nature, and that you have no expectation of privacy with regard to your actions or conduct at the event. You grant permission to us and the Event Provider(s) to utilize your name, image, likeness, acts, poses, plays, appearance, movements, and statements in any live or recorded audio, video, or photographic display or other transmission, exhibition, publication or reproduction made of, or at, the event (regardless of whether before, during or after play or performance) for any purpose, in any manner, in any medium or context now known or hereafter developed, without further authorization from, or compensation to, you or anyone acting on your behalf.
You and your belongings may be searched on entry to the event. You consent to such searches and waive any related claims that may arise. If you elect not to consent to such searches, you may be denied entry to the event without refund or other compensation. Under certain facility rules, certain items may not be brought into the premises, including without limitation, alcohol, drugs, controlled substances, cameras, recording devices, laser pointers, strobe lights, irritants (e.g., artificial noisemakers), bundles and containers.
Unlawful resale (or attempted resale), counterfeit or copy of tickets is grounds for seizure and cancellation without compensation. Certain maximum resale premiums and restrictions may apply in some states and we cannot be responsible for providing legal advice regarding resale or pricing of tickets. You are responsible for complying with all applicable ticket resale laws. In addition, we reserve the right to restrict or deny ticket purchasing privileges to anyone that we determine to be, or has been, in violation of our policies. Because we do not guarantee the authenticity of tickets purchased from any non-authorized third party reseller (such as brokers or individuals), we recommend that you purchase tickets directly through us, authorized partners or from the venue box office to ensure ticket authenticity. Tickets may not be used for advertising, promotions, contests or sweepstakes, unless formal written authorization is given by us.
Rules for Sweepstakes, Contests and Games
In addition to these Terms, sweepstakes, contests, games or other promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available through the Site may have specific rules that are different from these Terms. By participating in a Promotion, you will become subject to those rules. We urge you to review the rules before you participate in a Promotion. Promotion rules will control over any conflict with these Terms.
Violation of these Terms
We may investigate any violation of these Terms, including unauthorized use of the Site. We may provide law enforcement with information you provide to us related to your transactions to assist in any investigation or prosecution of you. We may take legal action that we feel is appropriate. You agree that monetary damages may not provide us a sufficient remedy and that we may pursue injunctive or other relief for your violation of these Terms. If we determine that you have violated these Terms or the law, or for any other reason or for no reason, we may cancel your account, delete all your User Content and prevent you from accessing the Site at any time without notice to you. If that happens, you may no longer use the Site or any Content. You will still be bound by your obligations under these Terms. You agree that we will not be liable to you or any third party for termination of your access to the Site or to your account or any related information, and we will not be required to make the Site or your account or any related information available to you. We may also cancel any ticket or merchandise order, and tickets or merchandise acquired through your order. We may refuse to honor pending and future purchases made from all accounts we believe may be associated with you, or cancel a ticket or ticket order associated with any person we believe to be acting with you, or cancel your ticket postings, or exercise any other remedy available to us.
You agree that your abusive use of the Site may cause damage and harm to us, including impaired goodwill, lost sales and increased expenses. You also agree that monetary damages for your abusive use of the Site are difficult to determine and that if you, or others acting with you, request more than 1,000 pages of the Site or make more than 800 reserve requests on the Site in any 24-hour period, you, and those acting with you, will be jointly and severally liable for liquidated damages in the amount of twenty-five cents ($0.25) for each page request or reserve request made during that 24-hour period which exceeds those limits.

THE ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN US IS AN ESSENTIAL ELEMENT OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE USE OF THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS. IN NO EVENT WILL ATTORNEYS' FEES BE AWARDED OR RECOVERABLE.

We are not responsible for providing transportation or reimbursement of travel-related expenses under any circumstances unless those items are specifically included as part of a package. We are not responsible for any delay causing you to arrive late or miss your event for any reason. If our actions result in you missing your event, we will not be liable for more than your total purchase price. We are not responsible for the conditions or the actions of the crowd at any event or for any changes made at the venue including without limitation seating arrangements, stage set-up or venue conditions.
Balls, pucks, and other objects may fly into the spectator area during an event. Despite spectator shielding, injury can occur. Stay alert at all times before, during and after play or performance. If struck, immediately ask an usher for directions to a medical station. You voluntarily assume all risks and danger incidental to the event for which the ticket is issued, whether occurring before, during or after the event, and you waive any claims for personal injury or death against us, management, facilities, leagues, artists, other participants, and all of our respective parents, affiliated entities, agents, officers, directors, owners and employees on behalf of yourself and any accompanying minor. You bear all risks of inclement weather. Event date and time are subject to change.
If anyone brings a claim against us related to your use of the Site, the Content, your User Content or your violation of these Terms, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold us and our affiliated companies, event providers, suppliers, advertisers and sponsors, and each of our officers, directors, employees, and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses and expenses of any kind (including reasonable legal fees and costs).

Disputes, Including Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of the Site, or to products or services sold or distributed by us or through us, will be resolved by binding arbitration rather than in court, with the following exceptions:
You may assert claims in small claims court if your claims apply;
If a claim involves the conditional license granted to you as described in the Ownership of Content and Grant of Conditional License section above, either of us may file a lawsuit in a federal or state court located within Los Angeles County, California, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes; and
In the event that the arbitration agreement in these Terms is for any reason held to be unenforceable, any litigation against us (except for small-claims court actions) may be commenced only in a federal or state court located within Los Angeles County, California, and we both consent to the jurisdiction of those courts for such purposes.
The arbitration agreement in these Terms is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), including its procedural provisions, in all respects. This means that the FAA governs, among other things, the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement and all of its provisions, including, without limitation, the class action waiver discussed below. State arbitration laws do not govern in any respect.
This arbitration agreement is intended to be broadly interpreted, and will survive termination of these Terms. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to the extent permitted by law to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow these Terms as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to: Front Gate Tickets, 9348 Civic Center Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210, Attn: Legal. You may download the forms located at http://www.jamsadr.com . The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if applicable, its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and any applicable supplemental rules including its Consumer Arbitration Standards of Minimum Fairness. The JAMS Rules are available online at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling (800) 352-5267. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by JAMS's rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous, but in no event will we pay for attorneys' fees. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding, and that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. You agree to waive any right to a jury trial or to participate in a class action. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration section will be null and void and neither of us will be entitled to arbitrate our dispute.
You agree that these Terms evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce and will be governed by and construed in accordance with federal law to the fullest extent possible. However, if your dispute is regarding the re-sale of a ticket for any event located in Illinois, then these Terms will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of Illinois, without regard to conflict or choice of law rules, and you consent to personal jurisdiction, and agree to bring all actions, exclusively in Chicago, Illinois. If you have an inquiry regarding a ticket re-sale transaction for any event located in Illinois, please contact us at 550 W. Van Buren Street, 13th Floor, Chicago, Illinois 60607 or (877) 446-9450.

"Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, 21, was arrested this morning in downtown Manhattan after he allegedly attempted to detonate what he believed to be a 1,000-pound bomb at the New York Federal Reserve Bank on Liberty Street in lower Manhattan's financial district," the FBI confirms an email just sent to reporters.
It adds that:
"The arrest of Nafis was the culmination of an undercover operation during which he was closely monitored by the FBI New York Field Office's Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF). The explosives that he allegedly sought and attempted to use had been rendered inoperable by law enforcement and posed no threat to the public. ...
"The defendant faces charges of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaida. ...
"According to the criminal complaint filed today in the Eastern District of New York, defendant Nafis, a Bangladeshi national, traveled to the United States in January 2012 for the purpose of conducting a terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Nafis, who reported having overseas connections to al-Qaida, attempted to recruit individuals to form a terrorist cell inside the United States. Nafis also actively sought out al-Qaida contacts within the United States to assist him in carrying out an attack. Unbeknownst to Nafis, one of the individuals he attempted to recruit was actually a source for the FBI. Through the investigation, FBI agents and NYPD detectives working with the JTTF were able to closely monitor Nafis as he attempted to implement his plan."
The New York Post, which got word of the arrest before it was announced, reports being told by sources that "this morning, after parking [a] van, [the suspect] went to the Millennium Hotel near the World Trade Center, where he called the cell phone in the van. It did not explode, and he was arrested by federal agents. The terrorist was the only one arrested, sources said."
Update at 5:45 p.m. ET. Case Differs From Some Others:
This case, NPR's Dina Temple-Raston reports, appears to be different from other undercover operations the FBI has conducted recently. The criminal complaint indicates that the motivation for an attack came from Nafis and that he came to the U.S. with an attack in mind. He was not first identified because he was boasting about jihad in an Internet chat room and then picked up by undercover agents. Also: Nafis allegedly claimed to have a connection to al-Qaida — though it is unclear if that is true.
Update at 4 p.m. ET. More From The FBI.
The agency has been tweeting about this investigation. It just posted that:
"Nafis also referred to 'beloved Sheikh Osama bin Laden' to justify killing of women and children."

1,868 undergraduate and graduate students awarded degrees
Princeton University awarded degrees to 1,125 undergraduates and 743 graduate students at its 261st Commencement Tuesday, June 3.
In addition, the University conferred honorary doctoral degrees upon five individuals for their contributions to the creative and performing arts, political thought, science, literature and higher education: Quincy Jones, the inspirational entertainment industry executive; George Kateb, an internationally influential political theorist and Princeton's William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Politics Emeritus; Mary-Claire King, a pioneering molecular geneticist; Haruki Murakami, a world renowned author, essayist and translator; and John Waterbury, president of the American University of Beirut and Princeton's William Stewart Tod Professor of Politics and International Affairs Emeritus.
President Shirley M. Tilghman, the 19th president of Princeton, presided over the exercises and addressed graduates. Approximately 7,000 guests attended the morning ceremony on the front lawn of historic Nassau Hall.
The valedictory oration was delivered by Zachary Squire, a classics major from New York who received numerous awards for academic excellence while at Princeton and earned a string of A+ grades outside his major that included courses in electrical engineering, geosciences and physics. Squire will begin work after graduation for D.E. Shaw & Co., an investment firm based in New York.
Salutatorian James Morrison, a chemical engineering major, delivered the salutatory address, which at Princeton is traditionally given in Latin and is the University's oldest student honor. The tradition dates back to an era when the entire Commencement ceremony was conducted in Latin. The Latin salutatory began as a serious, formal address, but today it often includes humorous tributes and recollections, as well as a farewell to Princeton campus life.
Because few students today know Latin, the new graduates follow along using printed copies of the remarks. These include footnotes telling the graduates when to clap (plaudite) and laugh (ridete). Guests and other audience members do not have the annotated copies, a practice dictated by tradition because the salute is directed to the members of the class.
Despite his academic focus on engineering at Princeton, Morrison's pursuit of Latin began in middle school. He continued his studies through high school, and then at the University by taking five classics courses, feeding his interest in Roman literature while pursuing his major in chemical engineering and a certificate in engineering physics. After graduation, Morrison will work in quantitative finance for Goldman Sachs in New York City, and he'll consider graduate studies in applied physics in the future.

College Football 2014 Season Preview: 10 Big Questions That Need Answers
Our long national nightmare is almost over, and we are down to just a few more days until college football returns on August 28. Here are some of the burning issues we can't wait to see play out in the coming weeks.
Can Anyone Catch the Seminoles?
While Florida State's roster and schedule certainly set up nicely for a title run, the expansion to a four-team playoff this year will increase the pool of potential spoilers in the postseason, and several teams have hopes of dethroning the champs. After all, the preseason No. 1 team has finished ranked seventh or lower in five of the last six years.
Alabama is a perennial favorite and, despite ending last season on a sour note (more on that in a moment) and replacing a four-year-starting quarterback, the Crimson Tide roster will once again be loaded with NFL-caliber talent. Although they'll certainly be tested in the SEC, no one should be surprised to see Alabama in the hunt.
Speaking of Alabama, Oklahoma suddenly became a hot commodity after torching Alabama's defense for 45 points and 429 yards in the Sugar Bowl. However, Sooners quarterback Trevor Knight had a career game (348 yards and 4 touchdowns) and it is unlikely he'll duplicate those numbers week in and week out. While OU's defense should be stout, the suspension of RB Joe Mixon, the Sooners' top recruit, could put even more weight on Knight's shoulders.
Out west, the Pac-12 is quickly solidifying itself as the nation's second-best conference, and it is quite likely that a showdown between No. 3 Oregon and No. 7 UCLA could well determine a spot in the playoff. Michigan State boasted the nation's most ferocious defense a year ago and, if they can get past an early-season matchup at No. 3 Oregon, the Spartans could be poised for a run with their toughest Big Ten contests all coming at home. And with the core of a young team returning, don't count out No. 6 Auburn, who came within a last-minute Florida State drive of taking home the title last year.
If Not Winston, Then Who?
It's not often we see such high expectations placed on a college sophomore, but Winston's record-setting Heisman campaign as a redshirt freshman has set the bar at a whole new level. While off-field issues continue to follow him, Winston could put all those in the rearview mirror with another dominating performance this year.
If Winston can't overcome the Heisman jinx, there are a number of players out there who could come out of the woodwork to carry away the trophy. With Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller reportedly out for the year with a shoulder injury, Oregon signal caller Marcus Mariota is the next logical choice, as he has already shown an ability to put up big numbers, carry his team and, most importantly, keep winning. Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty will put up big numbers again and, if the Bears can make another run at a Big 12 title, he could find his way to New York.
Although the award has been stacked in favor of quarterbacks in recent years, a number of solid running backs could work their way into the mix. If fully recovered from a variety of injuries that slowed him last year, Georgia's Todd Gurley is arguably the top back in the nation and should have plenty of carries with the Bulldogs breaking in a new quarterback. Wisconsin's Melvin Gordon and Nebraska's Ameer Abdullah will continue to show why power-running games still rule the Big Ten. And if history has taught us anything, you can never count out an Alabama running back, so keep T.J. Yeldon and Derrick Henry on your watch list.
When Should You Cancel Your Plans?
Keep your schedule clear on November 8. That's the day you're going to want to be parked in front of the television, as some of the biggest games of the year could shake up the playoff chase. Two key SEC West games will determine the frontrunner to get to the conference title game as No. 2 Alabama takes on No. 13 LSU, and No. 21 Texas A&M travels to No. 6 Auburn. The losers of those games could be out of title contention.
Meanwhile, No. 10 Baylor will travel to No. 4 Oklahoma with the Big 12 title in the balance. No. 25 Washington will host No. 7 UCLA in a key Pac-12 matchup. And in the nationally televised nightcap, No. 5 Ohio State will travel to East Lansing for a key Big Ten matchup against No. 8 Michigan State. So make sure you've got extra drinks in the cooler and extra batteries for the remote.
Who Will Be Under the Most Pressure?
Forget coaches on the hot seat or underperforming players. This season, the most scrutinized people in college football will be a group that won't ever set foot on the field. With the four-team college playoff beginning this year, much of the attention will be focused squarely on the 13 members of selection committee that will determine which four teams get a shot at the title. If you think the members of the NCAA basketball selection committee have a tough job picking 68 teams, just imagine what these committee members will hear from fans of the team that comes in fifth. Those committee members are already hoping for four undefeated conference champions to make their jobs a lot easier.
How Does Texas A&M Fare in the Post-Manziel Era?
Texas A&M was expected to struggle in its first couple years competing in the SEC. But those difficulties never materialized, thanks to Johnny Football leading the Aggies to 20 wins and two bowl wins (not to mention the Heisman Trophy). But now the big question becomes how will Texas A&M fare without Manziel's ability to take over a game when needed?
There's no question that the future appears bright in College Station—they have locked up one of the nation's best recruiting classes, head coach Kevin Sumlin has been signed to a six-year extension and the university has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into upgrades and renovations at Kyle Field. But not only must A&M replace Manziel, but also must find some answers to improve a defense that ranked 111th nationally last season. Love him or hate him, there's no denying Johnny Manziel's importance to that team. The Aggies' success this year will have to be much more team-based instead of relying on one outstanding player.
Can Texas Rebound?
It seems like we've been asking this question for years now. But this year it takes on added importance as new coach Charlie Strong takes over a proud program that has fallen on hard times. While Strong may ultimately be successful, there could be some growing pains this year as he has cleaned house in the Longhorns program. Five players have been dismissed from the team for various reasons and three more have been suspended for at least one game. While Texas will almost certainly be a more disciplined team this year, will that be enough to get past a brutal first half of the season that includes matchups against BYU, No. 7 UCLA, No. 10 Baylor and No. 4 Oklahoma?
Can Alabama Find Its Mojo?
It's been a long time since the words "Alabama" and "two-game losing streak" have been in the same sentence. But that's exactly where the Crimson Tide finds itself coming into 2014. As if losing to archrival Auburn wasn't bad enough on its own, Alabama's loss came on arguably the most exciting play in college football history, one they've had to watch over and over in replays for months now. Then Nick Saban's crew looked lost and unmotivated in a 45-31 Sugar Bowl loss to Oklahoma. Now Saban's aura of invulnerability has been tarnished a bit and the Alabama faithful are looking for answers.
The Crimson Tide will be breaking in a new quarterback after the departure of four-year starter A.J. McCarrron. And the defense that was so dominant for most of the season returns just four starters. But an offensive line loaded with talent and probably the best running-back stable in the nation should allow Alabama to overcome any adjustments and keep theme in the thick of the title hunt.
Who Could Be This Year's Cinderella?
One noticeable omission from the preseason Top 25 was any team from a non-power conference. We've gotten so used to seeing teams like Boise State and Northern Illinois make a run, we almost expect to see at least one of them crack the rankings. But the initial Associated Press poll had no teams from outside the five "power conferences."
With Louisville now part of the ACC and Chris Peterson no longer in Boise, it's tough finding much love for the little guys. But that's not to say no one can crash the party. Utah State's record-setting quarterback Chuckie Keeton is back from a torn ACL and is the preseason Mountain West Player of the Year. He'll have a chance to get the Aggies on the radar with a season-opening matchup at Tennessee. Central Florida must replace QB Blake Bortles, but returns many starters from last year's Fiesta Bowl championship team, including ten from a defense that ranked 11th in scoring defense during the regular season. And haven't we all learned better than to count out Boise State?
What's Going On at Notre Dame?
In 2012, we thought that Brian Kelly had finally brought Notre Dame back among the nation's elite football programs. But that illusion all came crashing down in just a few weeks' time. First came the Manti Te'o fake-girlfriend drama. Then the Irish were demolished, 42-14, by Alabama in the national title game. Then starting quarterback Everett Golson was suspended for 2013 after allegations of academic misconduct. In his absence, Notre Dame did win nine games, but were not impressive and the Irish faithful were looking toward 2014 when Golson would be back to lead the squad.
What they didn't count on was an ongoing academic misconduct scandal further decimating the team. Last week, four Irish players—including three starters—were sidelined pending a university investigation into potential academic fraud. The four players are still enrolled but may not practice or play while the investigation is ongoing. Barring a sudden reversal by university officials, Kelly's turnaround of the Fighting Irish may have hit another speed bump.
Who Is the New Coach to Watch?
Coaching turnover in college football is frequent and often expected, but there are plenty of intriguing story lines this season. We've already touched on Charlie Strong's rebuilding project at Texas, but he's far from the only new face taking over a powerhouse school. After turning down a number of college and NFL jobs, Steve Sarkisian came back to USC and takes over a program bursting with talent. Boise State's Chris Peterson, no stranger to turning down offers himself, finally made the jump to a power conference by taking Sarkisian's place at Washington. He was no stranger to success in Boise, and Huskies fans are hoping he can work the same magic in Seattle.
Probably the most intriguing face is a familiar one, as Bobby Petrino returns to Louisville. Petrino helped make the Cardinal program what it is and, after struggling through some off-field personal scandals, has proven you can go home again. James Franklin took Vanderbilt to three straight bowl games for the first time in school history, but now faces a unique challenge in restoring a Penn State team still recovering from the post-Sandusky NCAA sanctions. And while Craig Bohl might not be a household name yet, it will be interesting to see what he can do after winning three straight FCS titles with North Dakota State and now moving on to a Wyoming program that hasn't won more than eight games since 1996.

Obama Pre-Empts Romney's Israel Visit With Security Aid Bill Signing
It may have just been a coincidence that on the eve of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's visit to Israel, President Obama signed legislation that increases U.S. military and security aid to the Jewish state.
But the timing was nonetheless fortuitous for the president, and showed once again the benefits of incumbency in an election year.
Obama's Friday signing of the U.S.-Israel Enhanced Security Act, which increases assistance to Israel to defend against missiles and rockets from Iranian-backed extremist groups, gave the president a chance to somewhat pre-empt Romney's trip.
Romney's visit to Israel this weekend is meant to underscore the Republican's campaign message, aimed at Jewish and evangelical Christians voters, that he would be a more loyal ally to Israel than Obama has been.
The legislation signed Friday by Obama passed with unusual speed and bipartisanship in a Congress best known for partisan gridlock. And it gave the president and his Democratic allies something with which to counter anti-Obama efforts by billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and the Republican Jewish Coalition — efforts reported this week by The New York Times.
Adelson and the RJC have begun a campaign to attract to Romney enough Jewish voters disaffected with Obama — especially in battleground states like Florida and Pennsylvania — so Republicans can retake the White House.
The effort is meant to cut into Obama's sizable advantage among Jewish voters. A recent Gallup poll indicated that Obama leads Romney among Jewish voters, 68 percent to 25 percent. That's about the level of support Obama received in 2008 from Jewish voters, according to exit polls.
But, unlike in 2008, Obama now has a foreign policy record, specifically when it comes to Israel, that Republicans can attack. And they have, bashing Obama for saying that the starting point in Israeli-Palestinian negotiations for a two-state solution should be 1967 borders with mutually agreed land swaps. Conservatives in the U.S. and Israel reject such language, because it would mean giving up some major Israeli settlements.
That record, as well as Obama's notoriously cool relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, has left the president vulnerable to doubts in some minds about his support for Israel.
Thus, Obama sought to strengthen his argument that his administration has continued the United States' unbroken ties with Israel.
At the bill-signing ceremony Friday, Obama even claimed that the level of U.S.-Israeli cooperation during his presidency has been "unprecedented":
"As many of you know, I have made it a top priority for my administration to deepen cooperation with Israel across the whole spectrum of security issues — intelligence, military, technology. And, in many ways, what this legislation does is bring together all the outstanding cooperation that we have seen, really, at an unprecedented level between our two countries that underscore our unshakeable commitment to Israel security."
Obama also announced $70 million in additional spending (which at one point the president incorrectly stated as "$70 billion") for the Iron Dome program.
"This is a program that has been critical in terms of providing security and safety for the Israeli families. It is a program that has been tested and has prevented missile strikes inside of Israel. And it is testimony to the leadership of the folks sitting here that we're going to be able to lock in that fund to assure that that program continues and that we are standing by our friends in Israel when it comes to these kinds of attacks."
And in case anyone failed to get the point that Obama wants to be viewed as being foursquare behind Israel, the White House invited leaders, past and present, of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee to the Oval Office signing.
AIPAC has long been perceived as the U.S. group that allows no daylight between itself and the Israeli government's positions regarding that nation's security. Thus, the presence of AIPAC Chairman Lee Rosenberg and former Chairman Howard Friedman was meant to serve as Obama's iron dome against critics, including Romney, that the president has failed Israel.
In a response to Friday's bill signing, Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg raised the issue of Jerusalem:
"Gov. Romney has long called for enhancing security cooperation with Israel and is happy to see that steps are being taken in that direction. Unfortunately this bill does nothing to address yesterday's evasiveness from the White House on whether President Obama recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which raised doubt about the President's commitment to our closest ally in the region."
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama described Jerusalem as Israel's capital. But as president he has continued the stance of Republican and Democratic administrations before him and kept the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv while calling for Jerusalem's ultimate fate to be decided as part of negotiations that lead to two states.
Henneberg's mention of "evasiveness" had everything to do with the following lively exchange between White House press secretary Jay Carney and two members of the White House press corps at Thursday's briefing:
REPORTER: What city does this administration consider to be the capital of Israel — Jerusalem or Tel Aviv?*
CARNEY: I haven't had that question in a while. Our position has not changed, Connie.
REPORTER: What is the position? What's the capital?
CARNEY: You know our position.
REPORTER: I don't.
SECOND REPORTER: No, no, she doesn't know. She doesn't know. That's why she asked.
CARNEY: She does know --
REPORTER: I don't.
SECOND REPORTER: She does not know. She just said she doesn't know. I don't know.
MR. CARNEY: We have long — Les, I call on Christi. Go ahead. ...
And then, later in the briefing:
SECOND REPORTER: Tel Aviv or Jerusalem?
CARNEY: You know the answer. Yes.
SECOND REPORTER: No, I don't know the answer. We don't know the answer. Could you just give us an answer? What do you recognize — what does
CARNEY: Our position hasn't changed ...
The White House press office later added the following headnote to the official transcript of the briefing (italics in the original):
*The status of Jerusalem is an issue that should be resolved in final status negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. We continue to work with the parties to resolve this issue and others in a way that is just and fair, and respects the rights and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians.

C 400 | SEYER INDUSTRIES | Aviation and maritime industry
Since procurement of a Hermle machine, turnovers at Seyer Industries have soared to new heights.
When World War II veteran Louis Seyer founded his tool and die shop in 1957 with seed money he made from catalogue sales of his innovative Easy Egg Cracker, he never imagined the heights to which the now third-generation family owned Seyer Industries would grow. Today, Seyer Industries' more than 150 employees specialise in manufacturing high-level subassemblies for the aerospace and maritime industries as a major supplier for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Gulfstream Aerospace and the armed forces of the United States. In contrast to Louis Seyer, however, they now have access to the 5-axis precision machining that Hermle made possible.
Seyer Industries supplies aircraft parts and subassemblies ranging from fixed-wing electrical subassemblies to flight control components for rotary wing aircraft. It is a long way from its days of largely providing ground support equipment that facilitated the loading of heavy ordnance. Before investing in its first Hermle, Seyer Industries' bread and butter was providing that ground support equipment. But in the world of aviation, 99% of the market is for component parts for planes or helicopters, leaving just a fraction available to those who supply ground support equipment. Due to the excellence they demonstrated supplying best-in-class support equipment, Seyer began receiving requests from customers to expand its offerings into the components side of the industry. There was only one problem: support equipment was a 3-axis proposition. To meet the exacting specifications of precision aerospace parts, the company needed the capabilities only a high-end 5-axis machine could provide.
By 2010, Seyer Industries knew it needed to invest in a 5-axis machine. The growing demand from customers simply could not be met by anything less than 5-axis machining. Seyer Industries looked at a number of options, but before long it was clear that Hermle was a machine with which they could both learn 5-axis machining and continue to grow their capabilities. When asked what stood out about Hermle, Seyer's lead engineer made it clear that it was all about precision. "Our team quickly realised the possibilities of a precision machine that can measure out to three decimal points", he said. The first Hermle purchased by Seyer Industries was a C 40 U, which greatly expanded its capabilities to deliver precision parts. As its ability to meet the supply needs of the aerospace industry grew, so did the demand, leading them to invest in three more Hermle machines. This time the team chose the C 400 U model. Among the strengths Seyer Industries has today, due to the ability of its Hermle machines, is the ability to manufacture components to high profile and perpendicularity tolerances far beyond the possibilities of standard machine tools. That level of precision has allowed the company to machine rotor bearings for various helicopters and arresting hooks used to land aircraft safely on carriers at sea.
