Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson
On the game:
"I was very pleased with our efforts in the beginning of the first half. Our whole focus is defense and we set the tone defensively right from the tip. Of all the numbers, outside of having more points than them, I am most proud that we held USF to a low field goal percentage. Our goal is to keep our opponents below 36 percent. We did a pretty good job tonight of forcing them to make tough shots."
On USF's performance in the second half:
"They had a lot of open looks with single coverage on the block. We wanted to double up in the post. But they just got easy buckets and we really needed to make them work for their shots to win."
On Chandice Cronk's performance:
"Her shot wasn't falling in the first half but her shot selection was good tonight. She made a couple of great buckets for us. She's just a phenomenal shooter."
On Jen Gottschalk's team leading performance:
"Jen had a great second half. She was very aggressive and so into the situations. She had such a big bucket for us when the shot clock was going down. She was the senior leader of the second half."
On Tracey Walker's defensive efforts:
"Tracey did a great job defending Shay Rollins tonight and Tracey was such a tenacious rebounder tonight."

Study Shows Baldness Can Be a Business Advantage
Up for a promotion? If you're a man, you might want to get out the clippers.
Men with shaved heads are perceived to be more masculine, dominant and, in some cases, to have greater leadership potential than those with longer locks or with thinning hair, according to a recent study out of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.

Recall of ROCK-IT MAN, a Dietary Supplement Due to Undeclared Active Ingredient
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services received information regarding a nationwide recall of ROCK-It MAN Male Enhancement Capsules sold between October, 2012 and April, 2013. Analytical tests conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) concluded that the products contained hydroxythiohomosildenafil, an analogue of sildenafil. Sildenafil is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in a FDA approved drug that is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED) making these products unapproved new drugs.
This undeclared active ingredient poses a threat to consumers because hydroxythiohomosildenafil may interact with nitrates found in some prescription drugs (such as nitroglycerin) and lower blood pressure to dangerous levels. Consumers with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol or heart disease often take nitrates. Additionally, hydroxythiohomosildenafil, like sildenafil, may cause side effects, such as headaches and flushing.
All codes of ROCK-It MAN Male Enhancement Capsules are included in this recall. The products are blue capsules individually packaged on a cardboard blister card (1 capsule per blister card) and blister double pack (2 capsules per blister card). The products were sold as wholesale in the US to distributors who further distributed it nationwide through internet sales and at retail.
The full recall can be found at www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm347026.htm?source=govdelivery.

Captain's Report
By Captain Dan Armitage
Construction Highlights
The name of this boat describes her mission: a pontoon boat that has specialized features for bass or multi-species fishing. Because the Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 18 DLX has twin toons and an affordable price, she is intended for more sedate running, so this is not intended for high-speed towing. Sun Tracker has other boats for towing watersports.
Having said that, during our test of the Bass Buggy 18 DLX, powered by a 40-hp Mercury 4-stroke, we had a WOT speed of 16.8 mph on average, burning 3.8 gph. So that means that you can tow a banana or some other water toys in a pinch, but if that is what you want to do, you should get more power, and maybe even consider a triple-toon. At best cruise, which was at 3500 rpm, we averaged 7.4 mph, burning just 1.3 gph and got 5.34 mpg, for a range of 168 miles from the boat's 32-gallon (121 L) fuel tank -- with a 10% reserve. This is the speed that most people will run the boat most of the time. At that speed, you can motor around for 24 hours without refueling.
Going for a more upscale look, the Bass Buggy 18 DLX features corrugated deck "fencing" coated in a high-gloss black finish and fewer graphics than found on previous models. The deck features a new extruded aluminum edging and has full-width Z-bar supports and sport cleats at each corner.
The all-welded-aluminum motor pod is new for the Bass Buggy 18 DLX this year and serves double-duty by securing the boat's built-in fuel tank beneath the aft deck. The reservoir's 32-gallon (121 L) capacity is generous, and by containing the weight of the fuel centered and below deck level, its position helps keep the boat's center of gravity low.
At the stern to starboard of the motor pod is a heavy-duty boarding ladder that appears to be designed for a larger boat. The ladder has three rungs, unfolds to drop 38'' from the deck, and leads to a small boarding deck outside of the fencing.
Fishing Features
Anglers find two aerated livewells aboard the DLX, one on the fishing deck aft and another built into the front of the steering console. Both livewell stations offer rod holders.
Angling Options
An optional fish package adds a Lowrance X-4 Pro fishfinder and a MotorGuide W55 Wireless Series 12V, 55-lb. thrust trolling motor with remote control. The bottom panel of the Bass Buggy's bow gate is cut out to accommodate the head and shaft of a bow-mounted trolling motor when it is flipped up onto the deck between deployments. This feature allows the gate to remain in place and secured despite the presence of the optional secured motor.
Creature Comforts
The deck of the Bass Buggy 18 DLX is a hybrid, with 22-ounce marine-grade carpeting underfoot in the cockpit and easy-to-clean, skid-free vinyl flooring on the fish platform aft. Accessories such as cargo netting on the underside of flip-up seat bases add utility to the storage capacity of this 20' (6.1 m) boat.
We appreciate the coverage of the Bimini top, as well as the options for stowing it while fishing, cruising or trailering: folded overhead and secured against the aft supports or dropped down to stow atop the stern railing. Note the amount of deck space to port of the helm in the bird's-eye photo. We like the way the contours of the re-designed helm console reflect those of the helm seat and the lounge seat base, giving the boat a stylish appearance.
Layout Features
An overhead view shows just how much space is available to passengers – including elbow room for anglers – aboard this 20 footer. Check out the combo cup-holder/tackle racks on the bow and the vertical rod storage rack adjacent to starboard of the forward fishing seats. The aft angler has a deck to his or her own, complete with livewell and a rod holder.
On the Road
The trailer for the Bass Buggy is custom built for the boat, with full-length bunks supporting the pontoons and the trailer's wheels underneath. The trailer structure offers direct support and a broad stance for stable towing. The three-step entry with handrail on the winch stand is a welcome standard feature, as are the EZ Lube hubs and the trailer's powder-coat-over-galvanized "Galvashield" finish.
The following items are part of the Sun Tracker Warranty --
• Ten-Year Bow-to-Stern Warranty -- that means factory-installed workmanship and materials are covered for ten years from the time of purchase, including electrical components, livewells and plumbing, carpet and vinyl, furniture, Bimini top and much more. Your engine is covered by the Mercury manufacturer's warranty.
• Lifetime Limited Structural and Deck Warranty -- provides coverage for pontoon logs, motor pod, other structural elements including deck supports, perimeter fence rails and gates, and more, for the life of the boat.
• Transferability to Second Owner -- the resale value of your boat can be enhanced by provisions to transfer warranty elements to a second owner. Your Sun Tracker dealer can help you put applicable elements into effect when you are ready.
• One-stop Warranty Resolution -- 10+LIFE coverage offers a one-stop solution, eliminating the need to pursue separate warranties with component manufacturers.
• Full Coverage During Warranty Period -- means there is no pro-rating, or reduction of your coverage over time. So the peace of mind you enjoy at the outset carries throughout your coverage period.
In addition, Sun Tracker even backs its optional trailers by warranting the Galvashield steel tubing against structural failure due to corrosion for three years!
Most of us here at BoatTEST.com have children of our own and appreciate any attempts at addressing the needs of families – especially where boats are concerned. The stability and high bulwarks (aka "fences") inherent with most pontoon boat designs make them an excellent choice for anyone considering boating with youngsters. Just remember that pontoon boats are designed for use on protected waters.
With features such as pinch-free folding seats, dual-locking latches on the gates, a sturdy, deep-reaching boarding ladder, enough elbow room on deck and plenty of protection from the sun and rain overhead, the Bass Buggy DLX is about as family-friendly -- and affordable -- a boat as we can find. Even without the optional fishing package, the boat can serve as a fine fishing platform for occasional angling.
At the end of the day, the 20' Sun Tracker rig is easy to load, trailer back home and store. You can match the boat to the outboard power and price point you wish to hit and get the family on the water for what we feel is a very reasonable cost. Our test boat was powered by a 40-hp Mercury ELPT 4-stroke EFI BigFoot which has an MSRP of $16,895.
Test Result Highlights
- Top speed for the Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 18 DLX (2014-) is 16.8 mph (27 kph), burning 3.8 gallons per hour (gph) or 14.38 liters per hour (lph).
- Best cruise for the Sun Tracker Bass Buggy 18 DLX (2014-) is 8.6 mph (13.8 kph), and the boat gets 5.34 miles per gallon (mpg) or 2.27 kilometers per liter (kpl), giving the boat a cruising range of 168 miles (270.37 kilometers).
- Tested power is 1 x 40-hp Mercury EFI BigFoot.

It's hard to get excited over a new digital photo frame, but the addition of HDMI in Fujifilm's FinePix REAL 3D V3 turns it into something more than just a last minute gift idea.
Digital photo frames are usually nothing more than an accessory for a digital camera, making it easier to share photos on their slightly larger screens. And with an SD card slot and 512MB of USB accessible storage for loading content, the REAL 3D V3 certainly fits the bill. But the inclusion of an HDMI port turns it into a compact, 7.2-inch glasses-free 3D display for everything from Blu-ray players, to gaming consoles, to laptops. It will of course play nice with the photos and videos captured with Fujifilm's 3D camera, making it easy to share them in all their 3D glory. But its real appeal lies in its ability to now accept 3D content from nearly any source. It will be available in Japan in mid-November for $US640. [Fuji via Newlaunches]

As per usual, nobody agrees with anything I say (well most of the time - and Rik agrees with me more then anybody else) and I have given on a few times I have given what I believe is an acceptable economy rate for bowlers in ODIs.
For those that dont know, it is:
Anything under 4 an over is outstanding and anything under 4.5 runs per over is good.
And guess what I have the beloved Andrew Flintoff as a good ODI bowler under my system.
So I need to what other posters think what an acceptable rpo in ODI cricket.
Surely Simon Jones will never ODI cricket for England. Just look at his List A record.

Bees for My Backyard
The bees were where we were told they would be—10 feet up in a tree overhanging the sidewalk in a residential neighborhood of Oakland, Calif.
Also as told, there were a couple of plate-sized pieces of honeycomb on the sidewalk where they'd fallen from strong winds two days previously. These were creamy white, redolent with honey, with a few stray bees on top. Beekeeper Joan Weir examined the honeycomb, showing me which of the capped cells contained bee brood—that is, eggs and larvae—and which contained pollen or honey. We put the fallen combs into the large cardboard box we'd brought. Joan went in search of neighbors and ladders and planned her strategy while I contemplated "my" bees, the bees we would put in the hive that we'd set up in my backyard earlier that afternoon.
I've been interested in keeping bees for at least a couple of decades, probably since reading Sue Hubbell's A Book of Bees. Hubbell, once a New York librarian, had moved to the Ozarks and taken up beekeeping as a livelihood. She wrote lyrically of the yearly rhythm of beekeeping, and the keen observation of bee behavior and of flowers in bloom that the bees inspired. Or perhaps, my interest began in my childhood when I visited an agricultural show and saw the inside of a beehive through a glass window.
Over the years, I'd been to a couple workshops on beekeeping but so far, I'd felt too busy to start a new hobby. This fall, however, at yet another beekeeping class, I'd learned that Joan Weir had a beehive to sell. Oddly enough, though, I couldn't buy Joan's hive. She and I live only a mile apart; bees have a 2-5 mile range. If they are moved within their range, they know all the landmarks and will fly back to their old homestead. But Joan had just been called to collect a hive in Oakland, some dozen miles from my home, so here we were.
By now, Joan had put on her bee suit and climbed an extension ladder to reach the branch from which the beehive hung. I stood on a stepladder below her, holding the box with the two broken pieces of comb above my head. Joan cut the branch with a pruning saw and placed the branch, nest and all, into the box.
Suddenly the box buzzed, both audibly and through my fingers. With the help of the neighbors, I descended the ladder and we put the box on the sidewalk. After observing the bees for a while, Joan assured us that their stance—face in and tail out—meant that we had captured the queen. Joan also explained to us that, because stinging is suicidal to worker bees (unlike queen bees or hornets and wasps), honeybees tend to be non-aggressive, attacking only when their hive is directly threatened. She instructed us to avoid sudden movements and to back up slowly if the bees came at us.
We watched the bees and their box on the sidewalk for about an hour. At one point, many of the bees emerged from the box and we worried that they would swarm. Joan gently swept those on top of the box inside using a brush with long soft bristles. Then she taped three of the four box flaps shut and we waited again for the bees to settle. Most stayed in the box. Some clustered in a fist-sized clump in the tree next to their former home. Finally Joan punched several small air holes in the side of the box, swept in the last of the bees and taped up the last of the edges. We wrapped the box in a large drawstring net, put it on the backseat of the car, put the tools away, and headed home.
In my backyard, Joan transferred the bees and their nest to my new hive, taking out several vertical frames to allow space for the wild nest. Four days later, Joan brought the rest of the colony, the straggler bees that had stayed in their home tree. Next week, three weeks from their original transplant date, Joan and I will open the new hive. To help them through the winter, we'll give my bees a frame of honey and a frame of brood from one of Joan's established hives.
Resilient Ideas: Rooftop Beekeeping
Urban hives allow landless city dwellers to create their own honey–and may even provide solutions to colony collapse.
Meanwhile I visit the bees a few times a day when I am home. Early in the morning, just a few of them will be setting out. At noon, they'll be coming and going like rush hour traffic. In the evening, a few will be coming home. At night, they stay inside. If I lean down with my ear close to the hive, I can hear them buzzing. They sound angry, but I know it is only the sound of 20,000 or so critters fanning their wings.
I hope they'll do well in my backyard. Right now, there are pink jasmine flowers in bloom for them and soon they'll have lemon and orange blossoms. I don't know what else they'll eat, but I'm betting that there are enough blooming urban flower gardens in my neighborhood to keep them happy. In the spring, they'll help pollinate my apple trees and garden vegetables. By next fall, they may or may not have produced enough extra honey to share some with me. Either way, I'm happy to have them buzzing around, making my world bigger by bringing me knowledge of their minute but intimately detailed world.

Runaway: A Road Adventure is a classic point-and-click adventure game from 2001, one of the most beloved games in the genre. For its (slightly late) tenth anniversary, developer Pendulo Studios delivers a retelling of the tale through the eyes of its love-struck heroes, years after the flames of passion have died.
In Hidden Runaway, available today on iTunes, Brian Basco and Gina Timmins are no longer the couple they became during their epic adventure in the original game. They can't stand each other, but come together in the office of a Hollywood producer to retell the tale of their exciting first meeting.
Through casual mini-games and hidden object puzzles the pair relive past events, exploring the events of the first Runaway game in a completely new way. New players can enjoy the adventure, while old fans will soak up the nostalgia. And who knows, maybe this trip down memory lane will get the band back together.
What a positively delightful way to bring an older game into the present market. Let's do this with all of the adventure games! LucasArts, you next.

Gorgonzola Pear Pizza Recipe
08.23.11 by Jackie
It's almost the end of grilling season. If you're looking to make the most of the little sunshine and few warm days we have left, I would suggest making a pizza on your grill. To start the pizza, I grilled flat bread until it almost turned into a cracker. I decided to go with blue cheese and pear flavors, because the two pair incredibly well. I would have used Gorgonzola as a topping but my local market only carried Fourme d'Ambert, which is a raw French blue cheese (equally delicious). I broke the traditional rules for pizza and spread béchamel sauce along with caramelized onions in place of the standard tomato sauce.
This is an easy, light meal and it's a perfect recipe for a warm, summer day. Enjoy!

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - In a large study of nearly a million girls in Denmark and Sweden, the human papillomavirus vaccine was not linked to short- or long-term health problems.
The HPV vaccine, given in three doses over a period of six months to boys and girls around age 12, protects against infection by a virus that can cause cervical cancer.
"There were not really any concerns before our study and no new ones after," Lisen Arnheim-Dahlström said. She led the study at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm.
The new study used national data from both countries to investigate how many girls ages 10 to 17 were diagnosed with any of 53 autoimmune or neurological problems, including celiac disease, pancreatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and narcolepsy. It also looked at whether girls developed blood clots shortly after vaccination.
More than 997,000 girls were diagnosed with the conditions on the list between 2006 and 2010 and more than 296,000 of them had received at least one HPV vaccine dose. Some 160,000 girls had received all three doses.
According to the results published in BMJ, there was no link between the type or timing of the girls' health problems and whether they had gotten the vaccine within the previous six months or had ever received the vaccine.
Previously, isolated incidents of blood clots or other problems had been pegged to the vaccine, but this large new study did not find any negative health consequences, researchers said.
The responsibility for safety is highest when you're giving a drug to people who are well, said Dr. Mark Schiffman, a senior investigator at the National Cancer Institute who was not involved in the new study.
Though his research centers on cervical cancer, Schiffman himself was a "late adopter" of the HPV vaccine. He told Reuters Health he did not have his young daughter vaccinated when the shots were first approved.
Drug approval trials are often too small to detect whether a dose given to millions of people might negatively affect one or two, he said. Those kinds of small associations can only be found after the drug has been used in a large population.
More than 100 million doses have been administered worldwide since the first HPV vaccine was approved in 2006.
"I'm now convinced," Schiffman said. "I recommend to other near and dear friends and family that the vaccine is, to my mind, safe."
He has now vaccinated his daughter and would recommend that every girl get the vaccine.
"Here in Australia physicians (and the community) have been very supportive of the vaccine right from the beginning," Dr. Julia Brotherton wrote to Reuters Health in an email. "There were certainly parents who were hesitant at the beginning because it was a new vaccine, but it is no longer a new vaccine and the impacts of the vaccine in Australia are already significant."
Brotherton is Medical Director of the National HPV Vaccination Program Register in Australia, where there have been very few cases of genital warts in young women since the vaccine was introduced and a reduction in precancerous cervical lesions, she said.
She was not involved in the new study but wrote an accompanying editorial in BMJ.
A general fear of what is new and unknown is not a good reason to skip vaccinations, Brotherton said.
There isn't as much evidence to call on for side effects or health consequences for boys, but the side effect profile is in all likelihood the same, she said.
"Vaccination is always an individual decision," she said. "But as clinicians and public health physicians we can confidently advocate for using the vaccine to prevent people from being infected with this cancer causing virus."
"This opportunity to prevent disease and death from infectious disease that in the past killed or injured millions of people using the vaccines we have available today is truly the best gift you can give your kids."

Fresh Berry Granita
Italians make a frozen dessert called a granita. Granite (plural for granita) are scraped ices, much like the Italian ices sold by street vendors in North America. This granita incorporates fresh berries, making it a perfect summer treat.
Preparation time: 3 1/2 hours
Yield: 4 servings
3 cups fresh berries
1 1/2 cups cold water
1/3 cup sugar
Wash the berries and remove any stems.
Add the berries and cold water to a blender or food processor, then puree them.
Press the pureed mixture through a fine sieve.
Sieving the berries removes any skins or seeds.
Add the sugar, to taste.
Pour the berry liquid into a 13-x-9-x-2-inch ceramic or glass pan.
Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Using a large metal spoon, stir frozen crystals from around the edges of the pan back into the liquid.
While the mixture continues to freeze, scrape the spoon against the sides and bottom of the pan to loosen and break up frozen crystals.
Repeat this scraping process every 30 minutes or so until the mixture is frozen and a bit creamy, about 3 hours total.
Scoop the crystals into individual bowls or goblets, and serve immediately.

With a little ice on the ground and a day off from school, creative North Texans attempted to sled and have fun in the cold using an assortment of flat-bottomed things.
People who couldn't go to work or school took advantage of the burst of extreme winter weather this week — a wintry mess that is more common elsewhere in the country during the season but that is less frequent across North Texas.
Some methods, as you'll see below, work better than others.
Below is a collection of videos (some sledding, some not) shared by NBC 5 viewers as they enjoyed the spate of "bad weather."

CMC presents Verdi's classic 'Aida' Saturday
The next live high-definition simulcast from the New York Metropolitan Opera is the production of Giuseppe Verdi's "Aida," starting at 10:55 a.m. on Saturday in the Eileen & Paul Finkel Auditorium at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge.The background story is one of triumph and tragedy. The young warrior Radams, in a spectacular opening scene, is commissioned by the High Priest of Egypt to protect his country from the impending invasion by the barbaric Ethiopians. The plot immediately becomes complicated as Radams sings the famous aria, "Celeste Aida," expressing his love for the slave girl Aida. Aida happens to be Ethiopian, and is in exile as a servant to the Egyptian Princess Amneris, who seeks the love of Radams for herself. Tension builds within this love triangle as the opera proceeds, with Amneris attempting to learn the true feelings between Aida and Radams. In Act II, following the defeat of the Ethiopians, in the spectacular triumphal scene with a full chorus of Egyptian citizens, Radams is crowned with the victor's wreath. The Egyptian king also announces the upcoming marriage of Radams to Princess Amneris. Captured Ethiopians are then led in, among whom is their king, Amonasro, who Aida immediately recognizes as her father.In Act III, along the banks of the Nile, Aida sings the famous soprano aria, "O patria mia," reminiscent of the longing for her homeland. Her father Amonasro appears and convinces her to learn from Radams the route the Egyptian troops will take in quelling a new Ethiopian uprising. By carrying out this plot, however, they ensure that Radams will face tragedy. The role of Aida is sung by Liudmyla Monastyrska, a native of Kiev, Ukraine, where she is an established star. Her singing is characterized as "a luscious round soprano that maintains its glow even in the softest notes," particularly expressed in her solo, "O patria mia," according to New York Times' music reviewer Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim. Her rival, Amneris, is sung by Olga Borodina. "Her astonishingly powerful, almost masculine low notes seem to come out of an instrument different from that of the rest of her range, and she used them to bully Aida in their confrontations," said da Fonseca-Wollheim. The Met orchestra, under Fabio Luisi, effectively performs with flexibility in reflecting the ever-changing psychological turmoil of the characters.Among all the operas in the current repertoire, Aida continues to dazzle audiences and remain one of the most charismatic operas while serving as an ideal introduction for those new to this art form. The memorable solo and choral renditions, incredible background orchestration, and spectacular use of costuming and stage setting create an experience not to be missed. Aida is sure to delight the senses of all ages of audience members.Prior to the production, a 30-minute opera preview and open discussion will be held at Colorado Mountain College at 10:15 a.m. Food and beverages will be served during intermission.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome is the overstimulation of the
ovaries that may occur as a result of assisted reproductive technology (ART).
ART is a type of infertility treatment that uses multiple eggs at one time to
raise the chances of producing embryos that are good candidates for
Before an ART procedure, a woman uses medicine or hormones to
stimulate multiple egg production (superovulation). The eggs are then collected
for laboratory use. In a small number of ART cycles, superovulation
overstimulates the ovaries. This problem is called ovarian hyperstimulation
Doctors watch closely for signs of ovarian hyperstimulation
during superovulation. When this condition occurs, the medicine is stopped.
Any procedure, such as egg collection, planned for that particular cycle is
postponed until all symptoms are gone, usually in 2 to 4 weeks.
Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome can be mild, moderate, or

NJ Transit skips hearing on Super Bowl rail issues
TRENTON – For the second time in less than a month, New Jersey's top transit officials have skipped a legislative hearing on rail issues surrounding last month's Super Bowl.
The Assembly transportation committee scheduled a hearing two weeks ago but had to cancel when outgoing NJ Transit head James Weinstein and others declined to attend. The hearing was to probe what caused lengthy delays moving fans from MetLife Stadium after the game.
Since then, Weinstein has been replaced by former Turnpike Authority chief Veronique Hakim. Hakim didn't attend Monday's hearing in Trenton.
The NFL also declined to send a representative to both hearings.
Twice as many Super Bowl ticketholders as expected wound up taking trains, leading to hours-long delays after the game.

WASHINGTON, June 3 (UPI) -- The heavy hand of the military in Myanmar may be at the heart of the country's developmental woes, political observers say.
Myanmar began a series of democratic reforms in 2010, ending years of military leadership. Members of the international community eased economic pressure in response though human rights groups say it may be too early to start rewarding Myanmar.
Former U.S. Rep. Lee Hamilton, D-Ind., director of the Center on Congress at Indiana University, and David Williams, director of the university's Center for Constitutional Democracy, wrote in The Washington Post that trade deals with Myanmar could be used as leverage.
President Obama met recently with delegates from Myanmar, formerly known as Burma, to make the case for foreign investment.
"President Obama has repeatedly called for the release of political prisoners and an end to sectarian violence against Burmese Muslims," they write. "Yet these concerns are only part of the problem."
Violence between Buddhists and minority Muslims, coupled with ongoing fighting in the northern states of Rakhine and Kachin, has overshadowed some of Myanmar's reforms.
Hamilton and Williams said the military holds too much power despite political reforms.
"It may be premature to try to reduce the military's power because there is still a risk of a coup," they write. "But it is not too soon, and may soon be too late, to amend the constitution to address the concerns of Burma's ethnic minorities."
Both scholars have served as advisers for the pro-democracy party in Myanmar through their respective Indiana University centers.

Lisa Leonard Designs GUEST GIVEAWAY!!!! CLOSED.
September 22, 2009
She has been kind enough to offer TWO $50 gift certificates to TWO separate Grosgrain readers!
Lisa work has been featured in many mainstream magazines such as American Baby, Wondertime, Pregnancy, and Cookie, among others.
She has been making jewelry since high school but decided to get serious after her first son, David, was born. She wanted to start a small business that would enable her to quit her job and stay home with her boys. At the time, she had never taken any formal classes or received special training in jewelry making. She just went for it! She's the kind of the 'jump in and learn as you go' type. Creating jewelry not only allowed her to work from home, but has connected her with so many amazing women along the way.
Her desire is to create simple, lovely pieces that can be worn with jeans or your little black dress. She wants each piece to be meaningful. Her custom jewelry is hand-stamped with your kids' names or a special phrase or verse. She loves to touch her necklace throughout the day and reflect on her husband and her sweet boys.
These customized spoons are my favorite piece. I imagine my kids sitting at the breakfast table each happily eating with their own personalized spoon:)
Each piece she creates is a work of art—hand cut, hammered, polished, drilled and assembled with care.
She is inspired by other artists--painters, scrapbookers, clothing designers and poets. She also loves to soak up nature-the sky, the sea, the green hills. She lets all these ideas and images swirl around in her mind and then she creates. When an idea hits her, she sketchs it out and plays until the perfect design comes together.
Lisa Leonard Designs exists because moms, grandmas and friends have shared their designs with each other while waiting in line at the grocery store or sipping coffee with a friend. Most of her customers find her through word of mouth. She knows that you'll find the perfect piece.
Come visit her blog to hear more of her story and please share your story with her!
As usual, if you would like a chance to win this one of these gift certificates just link back to this post.
If you have any questions see the "questions and answers" link to the right.
If you use blogger just use the "create a link" link at the bottom of this post. If you don't use blogger, that's fine too. Just create a link on your page as you normally would and I will see it using Technorati.

(written from a Production point of view)
David E. "Muddy" Waters (born 17 December 1969; age 49) of Greensboro, North Carolina, is the Co-Key Second Assistant Director on 2009's Star Trek, directed and produced by J.J. Abrams. Waters previously worked with Abrams and many other members of the Star Trek crew as 2nd Second Assistant Director and Second Assistant Director of Additional Photography on the 2006 Paramount Pictures release Mission: Impossible III.
Prior to becoming an assistant director, Waters was a production assistant on several major studio films. His production assistant credits include Species II (featuring James Cromwell), I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (featuring Bill Cobbs and Jeffrey Combs), Anywhere But Here (featuring John Carroll Lynch, Stephanie Niznik and Faran Tahir), The Insider (starring Bruce McGill and Christopher Plummer), and Hollow Man (featuring Jimmie F. Skaggs).
Star Trek is the third film starring Chris Pine that Waters has worked on as an assistant director, after 2004's Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and 2006's Just My Luck.

WASHINGTON — Paul Ryan was No. 2 on the Republicans' presidential ballot in 2012, and the Wisconsin congressman is thinking about whether he'll try to move to the top of his party's ticket in 2016.
When asked on Sunday about the possibility of running, Ryan said he and his family will "take very seriously and weigh" the decision next year. Ryan has said he is not eager to spend even more time away from his small Wisconsin hometown where he and his wife, Janna, have raised their own family.
Ryan tells CBS' "Face the Nation" his new book is designed to unify conservatives about tackling the nation's most critical problems.
Ryan says the 2012 ticket lost for many reasons, but he wishes that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney would run again.

Is Andrew Young Crazy?
"The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King must be turning in his grave," Barron told The Black Star News. "Mr. Andrew Young must be out of his mind.
[The Big Story]
New York City Council Member Charles Barron has denounced remarks attributed to former Atlanta mayor and civil rights leader Andrew Young, disparaging Senator Barack Obama and insulting African American women.
Barron will hold a news conference December 12 on the steps of City Hall at 12 noon to demand that Young apologize, The Black Star News has learned.
Young, who is a leading figure in the Civil Rights Movement, worked with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King and served as the former Mayor of Atlanta.
According to a December 10th article in The New York Post, Young, who in recent weeks have come out against Obama, while referring to former President Bill Clinton said, "Bill is every bit as black as Barack. He's probably gone with more black women than Barack, although he added, 'I'm clowning.'"
Young is also reported to have stated, "I want Barack Obama to be president," pausing for applause before adding "in 2016. It's not a matter of being inexperienced, it's a matter of being young."
"The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King must be turning in his grave," Barron told The Black Star News. "Mr. Andrew Young must be out of his mind. Yes he has a long history as a civil rights leader, but that does not give him the license to insult the entire Black community, Black women and the only Black presidential candidate, Barack Obama. Mr. Young should be ashamed of himself and we are demanding that he publicly apologize. In regards to his comment about Barack Obama's age, perhaps I should remind Mr. Young that Dr. King was in his late twenties when he took the helm of this country's civil rights movement and Andrew Young himself was young when he first emerged as a leader."

Pro-Clinton super PACs: Not so super
Hillary Clinton's closest advisers haven't yet decided on whether to set up a super PAC on her behalf, the must-have accessory for the modern campaign.
But that isn't stopping her adoring fans from doing it on her behalf.
Story Continued Below
Three pro-Hillary super PACs have formed in recent months — none with the formal blessing of Clinton or anyone in her inner circle. For good measure, a Virginia lobbyist last week formed the first specific anti-Clinton super PAC.
( PHOTOS: Who's talking about Hillary, 2016?)
Were Clinton to run, she would be the most formidable candidate of the super PAC era — changes brought on as a result of two 2010 Supreme Court cases allowing unlimited independent spending by outside groups. Her deep connections to Wall Street and top Democratic donor circles would give a "sanctioned" pro-Clinton super PAC — like President Barack Obama's Priorities USA Action — an unmatched donor base.
Until then, the amateur super PAC activity around Clinton reflects her outsize appeal among Democratic activists. But while these groups have attracted a fair share of press coverage, they're still mostly freelance efforts by die-hard partisans.
There's nothing stopping anyone from forming super PACs — all it takes is filing the proper paperwork with the Federal Election Commission. Super PACs with names like Zombies of Tomorrow, PAC Designed to Confuse the Public, Legalize Marijuana super PAC.com, and HappyPAC are routine.
But the proliferation of these super PACs could confuse possible donors as there's no guarantee the money will be spent effectively or at all for the purported cause.
( Also on POLITICO: Plouffe: Hillary Clinton 'probably the strongest' for 2016)
They can also turn into embarrassments for candidates. Witness what happened when a small liberal super PAC, Progress Kentucky, attacked Sen. Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, for her Chinese ancestry.
"Super PACs have a great advantage in being able to raise unlimited sums of money," said Jonathan Collegio, who works with the conservative groups American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS. "The problem is that if they're not carefully managed, they can be used as platforms by hucksters to send business to their own companies, or pay themselves lucrative consulting contracts."
Clinton is the only rumored 2016 candidate that's attracting this level of attention — there are no active super PACs for Martin O'Malley, Andrew Cuomo, Paul Ryan or Marco Rubio, according to FEC records. Many members of Congress and presidential aspirants have leadership PACs that allow them to raise money for travel and other expenses, but they do not permit unlimited outside fundraising like super PACs.
( Also on POLITICO: Clinton stays in game with gay marriage move)
Hector Pacheco, a 26-year old attorney, activist and self-described political junkie, recently registered HillaryFTW. (FTW is Internet slang for "for the win"). Pacheco says his super PAC was born out of a genuine and earnest desire by a political activist to help a favorite candidate.
"This is just part hobby, part passion," he said. "There's nothing stopping the average citizen of wanting to raise money and spend on a candidate that you believe."
Pacheco, who has worked on local races in Los Angeles, has modest ambitions for his super PAC — putting up billboards in Southern California and engaging with like-minded Clinton supporters.
"We'll have a presence at most of the Democratic net roots and other grass-roots conferences," Pacheco said.

In reaction to DFID's statement today announcing new aid for Ethiopia for the food crisis:
Jane Cocking, Oxfam's Humanitarian Director said:
"Oxfam welcomes the UK government's announcement and the money cannot come soon enough. There are already critical and life threatening food shortages in Ethiopia and across the Horn of Africa region. Two successive poor rains have left millions of people struggling to get food as hundreds of thousands of livestock have died and crops have failed. Other donors now need to follow suit and increase funding before it is too late.
"Food on its own is not enough; donors also need to pledge funds to meet other basic needs, such as clean water. Oxfam is scaling up our response to reach 700,000 people in Ethiopia. The clock is ticking and the faster aid can be delivered the more lives can be saved."

Assad: From accidental heir to lonely dictator
BEIRUT (AP) — Those who knew Bashar Assad in earlier days say he was uncomfortable being the son of a president and never wanted to lead. A soft-spoken, lisping eye doctor, he enjoyed Western rock music and electronic gadgets — an accidental heir to power.
Yet Assad, who turns 48 on Wednesday, has proven to be relentlessly resilient, branded by opponents a brutal dictator who kills with chemical weapons.
His willingness to do whatever it takes in Syria's civil war, unleashing his military's might against entire towns and cities, has so far succeeded in keeping his regime core in power, even as large swaths of his country fall from his control or turn into devastated killing fields.
Nearly three years into the uprising against his family's more than 40-year-rule, he has defied every prediction that his end is near.
The West once had the impression Assad was weak or incompetent, said David Lesch, professor of Middle Eastern history at Trinity University in San Antonio. "It took this unleashing of violence and bloodshed for people to reassess their view of Bashar."
"There is revision, people saying he's a lot tougher than they thought," said Lesch, author of "Syria: The Fall of the House of Assad," who had unusual access to Assad, meeting him regularly from 2004-2009.
In the eyes of opponents, Assad is a murderous autocrat who would do anything to cling to power. The U.S and its allies accuse him of resorting to gassing his own people, a claim the regime denies.
But for his supporters, he is a nationalist hero fighting Western imperialism and ensuring stable, secular rule in a turbulent region wracked by sectarian wars.
Assad himself appears fueled by an unshakeable belief that Syria would collapse without him, that he is not crushing a popular rebellion but fighting an attack by foreign-backed terrorists.
In a televised speech to parliament in June 2012, he likened his crackdown to a doctor trying to save a patient.
"When a surgeon... cuts and cleans and amputates, and the wound bleeds, do we say to him, 'Your hands are stained with blood?'" Assad said. "Or do we thank him for saving the patient?"
The question that has always been debated about Assad is whether he leads his regime or is led by it.
The leadership he inherited was meticulously built by his father, Hafez Assad. The Assad family and its minority Alawite sect held the most sensitive positions in the military and intelligence agencies. But they weren't the only ones: Select families from the Sunni majority and from Christian and other minorities were given powerful posts or economic spheres that invested them in the regime, one of the most autocratic in the Middle East.
The son remains as reliant on them as his father did, if not more.
"He is not the strongman. How can he be?" an exiled cousin, Ribal al-Assad, told the AP in London. "He didn't come up through the military ranks ... He didn't put these people in, his brother did and his father did. He's more afraid of being assassinated by one of them than he is of Western airstrikes."
Bashar Assad's first months as president after succeeding his father in 2000 ushered in hopes he would loosen his father's iron grip. Even after it became clear he too would not tolerate dissent, he was still portrayed by many as a reformer at heart, fighting against an old guard who restricted his ambitions.
Even some of his strongest critics in the current war once believed he could be a positive factor.
As a senator, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry visited him repeatedly, dining with Assad and his wife at a restaurant in Old Damascus in 2009. Former French President Nicholas Sarkozy invited him to Bastille Day celebrations in 2008. Even after his forces fired on protesters at the beginning of the uprising against him in March 2011, Hillary Clinton suggested he was different from his father — a "reformer" who should be given a chance.
So how did a purported reformer become a leader who Kerry now compares to Adolf Hitler?
"It's like a Greek tragedy," says Jean-Marie Quemener, whose biography of Assad, "Docteur Bachar, Mister Assad," was published in France in 2011.
"At each step of his existence, he had every chance of choosing the right way. But each time, either the rug was pulled from under him, or he took the wrong decision," he told The Associated Press in Paris. "Each time, his destiny was forced."
Assad came to power by a twist of fate.
The elder Assad was cultivating Bashar's older brother Basil to succeed him. But in 1994 Basil was killed in a speeding car crash in Damascus. Bashar was summoned home from his ophthalmology practice in London, put through military training and elevated to the rank of colonel to establish his credentials so he could one day rule.
When Hafez Assad died in 2000, parliament quickly lowered the presidential age requirement from 40 to 34. Bashar's elevation was sealed by a nationwide referendum, in which he was the only candidate.
"When his father called him, he wasn't ready to take power. He tried to get his younger brother to take his place," said Quemener, referring to Maher Assad, who now heads the powerful Presidential Guard.
"His destiny was forced on him, he never wanted to be leader of Syria."
The Syria that Hafez left his son was molded by 30 years of hidebound rule, with a Soviet-style centralized economy. The hand over dissent was so stifling that Syrians feared even joking about politics to their friends.
The younger Assad seemed a breath of fresh air.
Lanky with a slight lisp, he talked of his love of computers — in fact, his only official position before becoming president was head of the Syrian Computer Society. Assad enjoyed listening to Phil Collins and British rock group ELO, Lesch recalls.
His wife, Asma al-Akhras, whom he married several months after taking office, was attractive, stylish and grew up in a west London suburb. The young couple, who eventually had three children, seemed to shun trappings of power. They lived in an apartment in the upscale Malki district of Damascus, as opposed to a palatial mansion like other Arab leaders, and made surprise appearances in public, to the delight of their supporters.
The charming first lady provided a counterpoint to Bashar's geeky demeanor. Together they gave the appearance of a power couple who could bring progressive values to Syria.
One of the young female aides in his presidential office even referred to Assad as "the Dude," a familiarity inconceivable with his father, according to a trove of emails purportedly leaked from Bashar and Asma Assad's accounts and made public in late 2011 by London's The Guardian newspaper and WikiLeaks.
Hopes for a political opening dissipated quickly. Early on, Assad reversed a brief loosening of restrictions on political activity. Instead, he opened up the economy. Under free-market reforms, Damascus and other cities saw a flourishing of malls, restaurants and consumer goods. Tourism swelled.
Officials and Western diplomats who met with Assad speak of a vain man, convinced his was the only right way.
Assad sees himself "as a sort of philosopher-king, the Pericles of Damascus," Maura Connelly, then-U.S. charge d'affaires in Damascus, wrote in a June 2009 secret diplomatic cable, released by WikiLeaks.
Assad's gravest challenge came when small protests erupted in the country's drought-stricken south in March 2011 and spread quickly to other areas, at the time of the Arab Spring uprisings.
His response was to use the brutal tactics of his father, hoping to nip the protests in the bud.
Security forces repeatedly opened fire on protesters. But the outrage only caused a snowball effect. As the uprising hemorrhaged into civil war, Assad unleashed his military to blast opposition-held cities, as well as the pro-regime gunmen known as "shabiha," alleged to have carried out mass slayings.
His actions squandered the goodwill of those who still saw him as an instrument of change. Even the first lady was tarnished. The leaked emails showed her splurging on expensive jewelry, bespoke furniture and a vase worth more than $4,000 from Harrods department store in London, even as violence engulfed the country.
Assad turned to his family, but now that circle is dwindling. His younger brother, Maher, is still by his side but his elder sister, Bushra, a strong voice in his inner circle, is now said to be living in the United Arab Emirates. Her husband, Deputy Defense Minister Assef Shawkat, was killed in a Damascus bombing last year. One of his closest confidantes, former elite commander Manaf Tlas, defected.
Quemener said only two people can reason with him at this point: His mother and his wife.
"Like all dictators he's very alone, so he's forced to take decisions, and that tortures him."

A wonderfully simple and healthy way to enjoy chicken that will also fill your kitchen with exotic aromas, this spice-braised chicken is a real crowd pleaser. It gets better with time, so it's worthwhile preparing it in advance or making a big batch to ensure leftovers. (Use two small chickens or one hen and a package of chicken pieces and double all the other ingredients.) To serve for dinner, accompany with steamed or sautéed snow peas and rice. This recipe also works very well with chicken wings as party food.–Laura Washburn
LC Just Wing It Note
We don't know about you, but when a recipe calls for generic "chicken parts," we tend to assume breasts or thighs or drumsticks. But as Washburn suggests, why not wings? (And not just wings, but how about those meaty little drummettes?!) To make wings (or other parts) for a crowd, opt for a large roasting pan, cover the wings and sauce with foil, and roast at 350°F (176°C) for about 30 minutes. Uncover and roast until the meat is cooked through and the skin is slightly crisp and the sauce has reduced, about 15 minutes or so. Then pass the napkins.

Place the chicken in the pan, skin-side down, being careful not to crowd the pieces. (You may need to work in batches.) Cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and season lightly with salt.
- 2. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the pan. Add the ginger, garlic, rice wine, stock or water, honey, star anise, and soy sauce to the pan and bring to a boil. Add the clementine juice and the chicken, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer very gently for 15 minutes. Then turn the chicken pieces and continue to simmer gently until cooked through, about 5 minutes more, depending on the size of the chicken pieces. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a plate.
- 3. Skim any fat from the surface of the sauce. Take a sip of the sauce and adjust the seasoning, if necessary. Return the liquid to a simmer and reduce slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. (Be mindful that reducing it too much could cause the sauce to seem quite salty.) Remove and discard the star anise. Return the chicken to the pan and turn to coat it in the sauce. Sprinkle with the scallions.
Slow Cooker Variation
- We invariably rely on skinless chicken for the slow-cooker rendition of this ginger-infused recipe—after all, nobody likes flabby chicken skin, do they? Place the chicken in the slow cooker and combine the remaining ingredients, except for the scallions, in a bowl or a large measuring cup and stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the chicken. Cook on high for 3 to 4 hours or low for 6 to 8 hours. Transfer the chicken to a platter. If a thicker sauce is desired, slowly stir a little cornstarch slurry into the sauce in the stock pot, place it on high and let it simmer until thickened to the desired consistency (to make a cornstarch slurry, we tend to use 1 tablespoon cornstarch stirred into 1/4 cup cold water). Return the chicken to the sauce just until warmed through, then transfer the whole shebang back to the platter and sprinkle with the scallions.
[Editor's Note: Bear in mind, no two slow cookers are exactly alike, just as no two cooks are exactly alike. This slow-cooker approach worked really, really well for us, although if you have a different slow-cooker cooking technique you want to try by all means, do so. And, natch, we'd love if you'd share it with us in a comment below.] Curious to hear more about working magic with your slow cooker? Peruse our entire selection of slow cooker recipes.

Astronomical hotel costs are often a headache for many budget travelers who may want to reduce hotel spending so that they can concentrate their expenditure on other more important aspects of their trip. So is there a guaranteed way to enjoy hotel savings? Yes there certainly is. Cheap hotel reservation is now a possibility with the advent of the Internet, which will help you snag your ideal hotel for a much lower rate than if you had booked over the phone.
Information about hotels in your chosen destination is widely available online, meaning that we now hold the power to book hotels at low rates that might not have previously existed. This can be attributed to the ubiquity of cheap hotel discounts on the Internet that allow us to save on our hotel bookings like never before. Thus, budgeting for our entire trip is now much less of a headache, especially since less spending on our hotels is virtually guaranteed though online booking.
Making an Internet hotel booking has never been more attractive, with a mind-boggling range of accommodation in your chosen locale or district available for booking, including hotels which you may not be able to afford previously. Hotel aggregator websites are thus a hotbed of information regarding these various hotels' specific locations, amenities, services and most of all, the kinds of discounted deals you can get to enjoy.
Before comparing the rates between hotels, you might want to first take a look at the section of the website marked "deals", where you can find the latest limited time promotions, deals and offers for various hotels, including any last minute promotions. These promotions are especially common when hotels are unable to fill up their rooms during a less busy travel season.
By taking advantage of such heavily discounted rates, you might even manage to book a luxury hotel at a rate that is closer to that of mid-ranged hotels. Hence, the best value for your hotels can be easily achieved by booking online, as you will often be able to snag hotels with excellent offerings at relatively low rates.
When you book your accommodation online, peace of mind is a given as you would have settled your hotel arrangements and costs in advance, especially if you are assured instant confirmation of your booking. By taking care of this part of your travel planning, you can now turn your attention to budgeting for the remaining expenses for your trip.
However, do make sure that you are really getting your money's worth in your hotel booking by taking into account possible hidden costs such as parking fees, Internet costs and even additional room taxes which may result in higher than expected hotel expenditure. You should keep these costs at the back of your mind when deciding if an online hotel deal is really worth it.
Placing a cheap hotel reservation is now a reality, thanks to the efficiency of the Internet which allows travelers to save time and money when making hotel bookings online. They can also rest assured that their credit card information is safe, as hotel booking websites make use of secure transaction gateways which is safer than revealing such information over the phone. Moreover, travelers are better informed when making their hotel booking decisions and choosing the best hotel deals to go for.
